Us raat ki woh meethi baatein… woh "I love you"… woh uski aankhon ka pyaar — sab kuch mere dil mein bas gaya tha. Main itni khush thi ki neend bhi jaise ek sapna ban gayi thi.
Par har khushi ke baad zindagi aksar ek naya imtihaan lekar aati hai…
Subah jab meri aankh khuli, to suraj ki roshni mere chehre par pad rahi thi. Ek halki si muskaan apne aap aa gayi.
Sabse pehla khayal — Piyush.
Maine turant phone uthaya… uska last message dekha —
"Good night ❤️"
Mera dil phir se dhadak utha.
Maine dheere se reply kiya,
"Good morning…"
Par is baar kuch alag tha.
Normally woh turant reply karta tha… par aaj 5 minute… 10 minute… 20 minute beet gaye.
Kyun reply nahi aa raha?
Maine khud ko samjhaya,
"Shayad busy hoga…"
Par dil maan hi nahi raha tha.
Thodi der baad main apne kaam mein lag gayi… lekin mera dhyaan kahin aur hi tha. Har 2 minute baad phone check karna meri aadat ban chuki thi.
Ek ghanta beet gaya…
Phir do…
Ab bechaini badhne lagi thi.
Achanak phone vibrate hua.
Maine jaldi se uthaya — Piyush calling…
Mere chehre par ek relief aa gaya. Maine turant call uthaya.
"Hello…" maine khushi chhupate hue kaha.
Par us taraf se aane wali awaaz… kal raat jaisi nahi thi.
"Hello…" usne dheere, thodi heavy awaaz mein kaha.
Mera dil halka sa ghabra gaya.
"Sab theek hai?" maine poocha.
Kuch seconds ki khamoshi…
Phir usne kaha, "Mujhe tumse kuch zaroori baat karni hai…"
Mera dil ekdum se fast dhadakne laga.
"Ha… bolo na…" maine halki si ghabrahat ke saath kaha.
Usne gehri saans li, "Kal raat jo kuch hua…
jo humne feel kiya… woh sab sach hai."
Main muskura di, "Mujhe pata hai…"
Par usne turant kaha, "Lekin…"
Yeh "lekin" sunte hi mera dil jaise ruk gaya.
"Lekin kya?" maine almost phusphusa kar poocha.
Woh kuch seconds tak chup raha… jaise shabd dhoondh raha ho.
Phir usne dheere se kaha, "Mere ghar wale… meri shaadi fix kar rahe hain."
Mujhe laga jaise kisi ne mere kaan ke paas bomb phod diya ho.
"Kya…?" mere muh se bas itna hi nikla.
Aankhon ke saamne sab dhundhla sa hone laga.
"Par tumne to kaha tha…" meri awaaz toot gayi, "tum shaadi nahi karna chahte…"
"Main nahi chahta…" usne jaldi se kaha, "par ghar wale… woh meri baat nahi maan rahe…"
Mere haath kaanpne lage.
Kal tak jo sapna tha… aaj tootne laga tha.
"Maine kal raat tumse isliye nahi bataya…
kyunki main tumhe hurt nahi karna chahta tha…" uski awaaz bhar aayi thi.
Meri aankhon se aansu girne lage.
"Toh ab?" maine poocha, "ab kya hoga?"
Woh chup ho gaya.
Uski khamoshi ne hi jawab de diya.
Mera dil zor se dukh raha tha.
"Maine tumse pyaar kiya hai…" maine rohte hue kaha, "koi mazaak nahi tha mere liye…"
"Main bhi tumse pyaar karta hoon!" usne zor se kaha, "itna ki shayad kabhi kisi se nahi kar paunga…"
Aaj mai tumse wada karta hu.
Ki mai shadi karunga to tumse nhi to kisi se nhi...
Agar tumse shadi nhi hui to jindagi bhar kunwara rahuga...
"Toh lad lo na…" maine almost cheekh kar kaha, "ek baar try to karo…"
"Main koshish kar raha hoon…" usne thak kar kaha, "par ghar wale… meri maa… unki tabiyat bhi theek nahi rehti… main unhe hurt nahi kar sakta…"
Mere paas koi jawab nahi tha.
Ek taraf pyaar… doosri taraf parivaar.
Main samajh rahi thi uski majboori… par dil maan nahi raha tha.
"Kya hum itni aasani se haar maan lenge?" maine dheere se poocha.
Usne kaha, "Main haar nahi maan raha… par mujhe darr lag raha hai… kahin main tumhe kho na doon…"
Main chup ho gayi.
Aaj pehli baar mujhe samajh aaya… pyaar sirf khushi nahi deta, kabhi-kabhi sabse zyada dard bhi deta hai.
"Ek kaam karte hain…" maine aansu pochhte hue kaha,
"Hum dono apne-apne ghar walon ko manane ki poori koshish karenge… bina lade, bina jhagde…"
"...aur agar nahi maane?" usne dheere se poocha.
Maine aankhein band kar li.
Dil ke andar se awaaz aayi… ya toh sab milega… ya sab chhin jayega.
"Phir…" maine mushkil se kaha,
"phir dekhte hain kismat kya chahti hai…"
Dono taraf se sirf saansein sunayi de rahi thi.
Aaj pehli baar hamari baat mein woh halka-pan nahi tha… woh hasi nahi thi… sirf darr tha.
Future ka darr.
Door hone ka darr..
Khud ko khone ka darr.
"Tum mujhe chhod to nahi dogi na?" usne achanak poocha.
Mera dil toot gaya.
"Pagal ho kya…" maine rohte hue kaha, "pyaar kiya hai… itni jaldi haar nahi manungi…"
Woh chup ho gaya… shayad ro raha tha.
"Main bhi nahi…" usne dheere se kaha.
Us din humne ek promise kiya— Chahe jo ho jaaye… hum try karna nahi chhodenge.
Par andar hi andar mujhe ek ajeeb si feeling aa rahi thi…
Jaise zindagi ab ek naya mod lene wali hai.
Aur yeh mod aasaan nahi hoga.
Call cut hone ke baad main kaafi der tak chup baithi rahi.
Aaj subah sab kuch badal chuka tha.
Kal tak jo pyaar ek sapna lag raha tha… aaj woh ek jung ban gaya tha.
Ek aisi jung jisme jeet bhi dard degi… aur haar bhi.
Dosto…
Kya hum apne pyaar ke liye duniya se lad paayenge?
Ya phir ek baar phir kismat jeet jayegi… aur hum haar jayenge?
Aur sabse bada sawaal…
Kya Piyush ki shaadi sach mein fix ho jayegi…?
Ya abhi bhi kuch baaki hai…?
👉 Part 9 mein sach saamne aayega…
