Chapter 10 — Ek Anjaana Ehsaas
Us raat Hamid ko neend der se aayi.
Woh bed par leta hua bas Arman ke baare me soch raha tha.
Usse yaad aa raha tha jab Arman ne kaha tha,
"Tum alag ho…"
Hamid ke dil me ek ajeeb sa ehsaas tha.
Jaise woh khush bhi tha… aur thoda sa confused bhi.
Agle din jab woh Arman se mila to dono park ke paas bench par baith gaye.
Hawa halki si chal rahi thi.
Arman ne aasman ki taraf dekhte hue kaha,
"Hamid, kabhi socha hai life me sab kuch itna complicated kyun hota hai?"
Hamid ne dheere se pucha,
"Matlab?"
Arman ne halka sa hans kar kaha,
"Bas… kabhi-kabhi feelings samajhna mushkil ho jata hai."
Hamid ka dil tez dhadakne laga.
Usne socha…
"Ya Allah… kya Arman bhi kuch feel karta hai?"
Lekin usne kuch nahi kaha.
Bas chup chaap baitha raha.
Us waqt Hamid ko pehli baar laga…
shayad uski life ek aise mod par aa rahi hai jahan se wapas jaana mushkil hoga.
