Raat ho chuki thi…
Par Aarohi ko neend nahi aa rahi thi.
Bar-bar uska haath phone ki taraf jaa raha tha.
"Ek baar check kar leti hoon…" usne dheere se kaha.
Usne Kabir ka chat open kiya…
Par waha sirf ek cheez thi..
"You blocked this contact"
Aarohi ne thoda hesitate kiya…
Phir usne Kabir ko unblock kar diya.
Dil zor-zor se dhadak raha tha.
"Ab message karega…" usne khud se kaha.
1 minute…
5 minute…
10 minute…
Kuch nahi.
Na message.
Na call.
Aarohi ke face ka confidence dheere-dheere fade hone laga.
"Sach me… chala gaya?" usne halki si awaaz me kaha.
Tabhi…
📩 Unknown Number se message aaya
Aarohi ka heart ek second ke liye ruk gaya.
Usne message open kiya ..
"Tumne bohot late kar diya…"
Aarohi ka haath kaanp gaya.
"Ye… Kabir hai?" usne shock me kaha.
Usne turant reply kiya..
"Kabir?? Tum kaha ho? Please reply…"
Seen.
Par reply nahi aaya.
Sirf ek aur message..
"Ab jo hona tha… ho chuka hai."
Aarohi ke aankhon me aansu aa gaye.
Usse samajh nahi aa raha tha..
👉 Ye Kabir hai?
👉 Ya kuch aur…?
Aur sabse bada sawaal..
Usne 'late' kyun bola…?
"Kya Aarohi sach me sab kuch kho chuki hai…?"
