Writer's POV:

"My love is running towards my life shouting,
What a bargain, but let's just buy it!"
- RUMI

Loving is such a burgain but to lose your existence indulging into your other half; sometimes it feels like a Gordian's knot. It's happening between them now.

HM: If you ever have to choose between me & your job, what would you choose?

KS: What kind of question was that Hasee? I'm already having bad headaches & your question started to throb my head more.

HM: Why don't you want to answer that, because you don't want to confess that you won't choose me?

KS: As far as I know, you & my job goes in the same direction Hasee. If I wouldn't be in this job, I wouldn't meet you, I wouldn't have you. & I'm always going to look at it that way.

HM: I want to tell you my answer in black & white Karu, I thought you must know it.

KS: I know your answer but I don't want you to choose me over your responsibility. Aap please so jaiye Hasee. Hum dono ki liye aaj ka din kuchh zyada hi lamba hogaya.

HM: Santu had called me & asked me if something had happened today in Mumbai? Did something happen, Karishma that I should know?

KS: Hasee, please stop taking stress. Kuch zaroori nehi Hasee, baas ek khun hua Airport pe & the Mumbai branch is dealing with it. We don't have to worry about it. & It doesn't seem to be related to the serial killer case. Abhi rakhte hai. Bye.

HM: Are you sure Karishma that it's not related?

KS: Oh God! Hasee hume sona hai please.... Rakhte hai. Love you.

HM: Ek baat hamesha yaad rakhna Karu,
Hum dono akele jitne adhure,
Saath utne hi pure hai.
Love you too .. bye!

Karishma's POV:

I lay down on the bed, I was feeling so exhausted yet sleep was away from my eyes. Haseena was so right saying that,

"Hum akele jitne adhure,
Saath utne hi pure hai."

Why did she say that? Should I call her again? No, cause I can't deny that even for a second but I suspected her & I'm so guilty for that & I don't wanna confess it to her. Did ACP Sir tell her anything? Idea... I can call Santu!

Santu picked up after one ring,

SS: Hello Karishma Ma'am, kaise hay aap? I just heard that there was a murder at the airport & they were suspecting you, is that true?

Me: tumne kaha se ye sab suna Santu?

SS: people were discussing when I went to the canteen to have coffee, as I was at the office for late hours today.

Me: One man of around middle age died tonight & I think someone killed him with a pen by perforating his neck veins. & Somehow my handkerchief was there at the toilet so they suspected me once but it's nothing serious!

SS: DR. Malik ko bataya aapne?

Me: Nehi, itna detail mein nehi bataya Santu. She's already very stressed. Did you tell her anything?

SS: yeah, I was worried about you Ma'am. So, I asked her if she heard about any murder there? I had said no more words.

Me: tumne kyun bataya unhe Santu? Kitna bara musibat hogaya tumhe paat bhi hai?

SS: Madam, ek baat kahu, please bura maat manna.
Hum unhe lekar unki cabin ki bahar kitni baatein karte hai,
ki woh thori ajib hai,
thodi gumsum rehti hai,
hamari saath zyada baat nehi karti
& we call her weirdo sometimes.
Hum saab kabhi na kabhi unhe ye kehte hai ki "you are allowed to lose a little bit of control"
Aur jab woh aisa karti hai toh hum unse baatein chhupate hai. Aur phir achanak se unhe saab paata chalta hai aur woh numb hojati hai aur hum phirse kehte hai ki woh ajib hai, weird behave karti hai.... kya hum sahi hote hai harbar?!
