Mera haath abhi bhi kaanp raha tha…
Bag ke andar woh box wapas aa chuka tha।
"Ye possible hi nahi hai…" maine dheere se khud se kaha।
Classroom bilkul normal chal raha tha। Teacher board par likh rahe the, students apne kaam me busy the… lekin meri duniya bilkul alag ho chuki thi।
"tik… tik… tik…"
Wahi awaaz phir se aane lagi।
Maine dheere se bag ka zip khola…
Aur box ko bahar nikala।
Is baar box pe ek naya symbol bana hua tha—
ek aankh… jo seedha mujhe dekh rahi thi 👁️
Mere gale me sukhapan sa aa gaya।
Tabhi… mera phone vibrate hua 📱
👉 "Rule 2 Activated…"
Mera dil zor se dhadakne laga।
👉 "Sach aur jhoot ke beech farq karo…"
"Matlab?" maine dheere se kaha।
👉 "Aaj tumhe ek sach aur ek jhoot milega…"
👉 "Agar tumne galat choose kiya…"
👉 "To punishment milega…"
Maine turant phone band kar diya।
"Ye sab mere saath hi kyun ho raha hai…" maine apne sir ko pakad liya।
Tabhi meri nazar Rohit par padi।
Woh apne friends ke saath hass raha tha… jaise kuch hua hi na ho।
"Shayad… woh hi clue ho…" maine socha।
Main dheere se uske paas gaya।
"Rohit…" maine awaaz lagayi।
Woh meri taraf mudha… aur phir hansa।
"Ab kya chahiye loser?" usne kaha।
Uske friends bhi hansne lage।
Mujhe gussa aaya… lekin maine control kiya।
Tabhi… ek ajeeb cheez hui।
Mere saamne achanak do lines flash hui—
👉 "Rohit sach bol raha hai"
👉 "Rohit jhoot bol raha hai"
Meri aankhen phat gayi।
"Ye… kya hai?"
Koi aur ise nahi dekh raha tha।
Sirf main।
Maine Rohit ki aankhon me dekha…
Kuch to alag tha।
Uski smile fake lag rahi thi।
Jaise woh sirf acting kar raha ho।
Mera dimag tez chalne laga।
"Sach ya jhoot…"
Agar galat choose kiya… to punishment।
Lekin punishment kya hoga?
Mujhe yaad aaya—
Rule 1 me bhi warning mili thi।
Aur uske baad… main time loop me phas gaya tha।
"Is baar galti nahi kar sakta…"
Maine aankhen band ki… aur decide kiya।
👉 "Rohit jhoot bol raha hai…"
Jaise hi maine choose kiya—
"tik… tik… tik…"
Box phir se vibrate hone laga।
Mera heart beat rukne jaisa ho gaya।
Phir—
👉 "Correct Choice."
Maine ek gehri saans li।
"Bach gaya…"
Lekin usi waqt—
Rohit ka face suddenly change ho gaya।
Uski aankhen dark ho gayi…
aur uski smile ek ajeeb shape me badal gayi।
"Tu samajhta kya hai apne aap ko…" usne dheere se kaha।
Maine peeche hatna chaha… lekin mere pair jam gaye।
"Tum sab… bas pieces ho…" Rohit ne kaha।
Uski awaaz normal nahi thi।
Jaise do log ek saath bol rahe ho।
Class ke baaki students bilkul freeze ho gaye।
Jaise time ruk gaya ho।
Mera saans rukne laga।
"Game ab shuru hua hai…"
Rohit dheere-dheere meri taraf badhne laga।
"Tumhe lagta hai tum jeet jaoge?"
Maine darr ke maare box ko zor se pakad liya।
"Please… ye sab band karo…" maine kaha।
Lekin woh rukha nahi।
Tabhi… phone phir se vibrate hua।
👉 "Warning: Danger Level Increasing…"
👉 "New Ability Unlocked…"
Meri aankhon ke saamne ek naya option aaya—
👉 "CONTROL"
"Control?"
Maine bina soche us option par focus kiya।
Aur achanak—
Rohit ruk gaya।
Uska body freeze ho gaya।
Jaise kisi ne usse pause kar diya ho।
Maine shock me usse dekha।
"Ye… maine kiya?"
Mera dil tez dhadak raha tha।
Maine dheere se haath uthaya…
aur Rohit ka body bhi wahi movement repeat karne laga।
"Main… use control kar raha hoon…" 😨
Ek ajeeb sa power feel hua।
Jaise main kisi aur ki life ka malik ban gaya hoon।
Lekin… ye feeling achhi nahi thi।
Andar se darr aur guilt dono aa rahe the।
"Ye galat hai…" maine socha।
Tabhi—
👉 "Rule 2 Completed…"
👉 "Reward Granted…"
👉 "But remember…"
👉 "Har power ki ek keemat hoti hai…"
Maine turant control hata diya।
Rohit wapas normal ho gaya।
Usne confuse hoke idhar-udhar dekha।
"Main… yahan kya kar raha tha?" usne poocha।
Uske friends bhi confuse the।
Jaise unhe kuch yaad hi nahi।
Maine peeche hatkar apni seat le li।
Mera dimag abhi bhi ghoom raha tha।
"Ye sab sach hai…"
"Main koi game nahi khel raha…"
"Ye game mujhe khel raha hai…"
Tabhi… meri nazar phir se last bench par gayi।
Wahi shadow…
wahi dark figure…
Is baar woh clearly mujhe dekh rahi thi।
Aur dheere se muskura rahi thi 😈
Mera khoon thanda pad gaya।
👉 "Next Rule Coming Soon…"
Phone par last message flash hua।
Main sirf ek baat samajh gaya tha—
👉 Ye game ab rukne wala nahi hai…
👉 Aur main isme phas chuka hoon…
Question :-
"Agar tum kisi ko control kar sakte ho… kya tum use apne fayde ke liye use karoge?" 😈
