Same jagha....same log
Par is bar hawa alag thi
Vaishnavi khadi thi.....uske samne Aarav aur Sumit the .....teen log aur ek sach
Aur ab bhagne ka ..... option nahi tha
"Is bar koi half truth nahi...." Vaishnavi ne seedha kaha
Aarav ne uski ankhon me dekha
"Is bar nahi hoga..."
Sumit ne slowly add Kiya
"Sab clear kar dete hain....aaj hi |
Silence
"Start Karo..." Vaishnavi ne kaha
Aarav ne deep breath li
"Us din jo....hua tha...vo sirf meeting nahi thi ...plan tha..." Usne dheere se kaha"wo ek plan tha..."
Vaishnavi ka expression tight ho gaya
"Kis ka plan..."
Sumit ne jawab diya
"Us ladke ka ...jo unknown number se call krta hai..."
"Naam..??" vaishnavi ne poocha
Aarav ne directly kaha
"Raghav .."
Vaishnavi ne ye nam phele kabhi suna nahi tha ....par impact feel hua
"Kaun hai vo ...?" Vaishnavi ne poocha
Sumit ne Aarav ki taraf dekha
"Main bol doon...??"
Aarav ne sir hila diya
"Bol de..."
Sumit ne dheere se kaha
"Ira ka bhai .."
Silence
Vaishnavi ka expression change ho gaya
"Ira..."
Naam sunte hi uske ander kuch shift hua jese ki koi purani file khulne wali ho
Sumit ne observe Kiya
"Tum janti ho usse ..?"
Vaishnavi ne turant answer nahi diya
Aarav ne jawab diya
"Us din raghav ne hme bulaya tha...aur usi ne hme ira ke bare me bataya
Vaishnavi ke patience break ho raha tha
"Seedha bolo na ....kya bataya usne ??
Sumit ne ek second ke liye Aarav ki taraf dekha phir vaishnavi ki taraf --
"Ki jo kuch hua ...usme tum involved thi.."
Vaishnavi ka jawab tight ho gaya
"Obviously thi, main wahan thi.."
Aarav ne immediately add Kiya
"But uske according tum wahan nhi thi ...,tum wajha thi.."
Dead silence
"Excuse me..." Vaishnavi ka tone cold ho gaya
Sumit ne calmly kaha
"Uska kehna hai ...us din ira tumhari wajha se us situation...mai aayi.."
Vaishnavi ne Aarav ki taraf dekha
"Kya tumhe bhi aaisa lagta hai..??"
Aarav ne bina dodge Kiya bola
"Us time.. hume samajh nahi aa raha tha .. kis par beleive karen .."
Vaishnavi sarcastic hansi
"Nice ..to tum dono uski side le rahe the
Sumit ne turant bola
"Side nahi ... clarity chate the..""
Vaishnavi ne ankhen band ki
"Ira
Naam ab uske dimag me clearly settle ho chuka tha
Flash
College corridor
Ira ka face-- angry
"Tumhe lagta hai tum hmesha right hoti ho ..?ira ki kahi bhi baat
Vaishnavi ne ankhen khol di
"Continue.." usne dheere se kaha
Aarav ne ab seedha bola
"Raghav ne bataya ki ...us din ..tum dono ke bich fight hui thi ..."
Vaishnavi ne sir hila diya
"Hui thi..."
Sumit ne softly poocha
"Kis baat par.."
Vaishnavi ne kuch seconds liye
"Usne mujhse expect Kiya tha ki mai uske liye jhoot bol doon..." Vaishnavi ne finally kaha
Aarav ne eyebrow raise ki
"Jhoot .."
"Collage committee ka issue tha, vaishnavi ne explain Kiya
Ira ne kuch galat kiya tha.....aur vo chahti thi ki mai uski side me statment du..."
Sumit ne seedha poocha
"Tumne mana kar diya..?"
Vaishnavi ne haan me sir hila diya
"Obviously.."
"Uske liye sirf vo 'mana karna ' nahi tha", Aarav ne slowly kaha
"Uske liye vo betrayal tha..."
Vaishnavi ka tone tight ho gaya
"Sach bolna betrayal nahi hota.."
Sumit ne calmly kaha
"Sbke liye nahi...par uske liye tha
"Phir..?" Aarav ne poocha
Vaishnavi ke expression thoda heavy ho gaya
"Phir usne muje blame karna start kar diya...aur baat escalate ho gayi
Flash
Loud argument
Ira chillati hui
"Tumhari wajah se sab khatam ho jayga"
"Wo gusse mai wahan se chali gayi.."
Vaishnavi ne dheere se kaha
Silence
"Tum uske piche nahi gayi..." Sumit ne statement jese bola
Vaishnavi ne ankhen niche kar li
"Nahi..."
"Uske baad ..." Aarav ne dheere se bola..."accident hua.."
Vaishnavi ke throat dry ho gaya
"Haan.." usne mushkil se kaha
Dead silence
"Road cross karte...waqt .. us.....uska accident ho gaya..." Vaishnavi ne complete kiya
Sumit ne dheere se poocha
"Wo ab..?
Vaishnavi ne ankhen band kar li
"Alive hai par ...fully recover nahi hai.."
Aarav aur Sumit shock mai the
"Raghav ne hme sirf ek side batayi.." Sumit ne dheere se kaha
"Uske hisab se tumne use push kiya ..us situation me chod diya.."
Vaishnavi ne turant dekha
"Maine use push nahi kiya.."
Aarav ne calmly kaha
"Isiliye hume tumse sach poochna tha .."
"Main wahan thi..par mene use force nahi kiya tha..." Vaishnavi ne clearly tone mai kaha
"Wo khud gusse mai nikli thi
Silence
Tabhi....
Vaishnavi ka phone vibrate hua
Unknown number
Vaishnavi ne call receive Kiya
"Raghav..?
Doosri Taraf se aawaj ayi
"Finally ...tum log actual baat kar rahe ho.."
Aarav ne cold tone me bola
"Tumne adha sach bataya tha .."
Raghav hansa
"Har kisi ki story me wo hero hota hai..,Aarav
Vaishnavi ne seedha poocha
"Tum kya chahte ho..?
Raghav ki tone serious ho gayi
"Simple,tum accept Karo ki tumari wajha se ira ki life change hui"
Vaishnavi ne bina dare kaha
"Meri wajah se nahi ... situation ki wajah se
Silence
Sumit ne softly add Kiya
"Tum bhi wahan nahi the 'Raghav' tumne bhi sirf suna hi thaa.."
Raghav ne thoda pause liya
Phir bola
"Par mai uska bhai hoon ...use jo feel hua vo Maine bola..."
Vaishnavi ka tone soft hua
"Use jo feel hua ..vo galat nahi hai....par vo pura sach bhi nahi hai
Silence
"Wo ab bhi tumhe yaad karti hai ...." Raghav ne achanak kaha
Vaishnavi freeze hogyi
"Kya..."
"Uski sab yaad nahi hai...par tum yaad ho..." Raghav ne kaha
Vaishnavi emotional ho gayi
Vo apne ansu ko control nahi kar pai
Call cut
Kuch seconds tak koi kuch nahi bola
Aarav ne vaishnavi ki taraf dekha
"Tumne sab akele handle Kiya .."
Sumit ne softly kaha
"Aur hum galat direction mai dekh rahe thee .."
Vaishnavi ne dono ko dekha
Vaishnavi ki ankhen bta Rahi thi ki usne Jo bhi kaha sach kaha
Vo kitna Sara dard lekar ghum Rahi thi
Pehli bar vo un dono ke samne roi
Dono hi usko chup karwate hai
"Ab kya..? Vaishnavi ne poocha
Sumit ne calmly kaha
"Ab Kuch hide nahi hai.."
Aarav ne uski ankhoon mai dekhtr hue kaha
"Ab sirf decision bacha hai..."
Silence
Aarav aur Sumit me se koi ek
Par ye abhi aasan thodi hai
Vaishnavi koi kyi chize clear nahi thi
"Main time lungi ..." Vaishnavi ne straight kaha
Vaishnavi ne sath bhut sari chize hui past khulna
Uski dost ira
Aarav aur Sumit me se choice
Aarav ne sir hila diya
"It's okay..."
Sumit ne halka sa smile kiya
"Jab ready ho...tab bata Dena ..."
Vaishnavi ne ek last bar un dono ko dekha
Aur mud gayi
Is bar
Vo bhag nahi rahi thi
Wo samajh rahi thi
