Kayi bar situations kesi ho jati hai ki hum samajh hi nahi pate ki kya Kara jaye bss ye kahani bhi kuch aaise hi haiii...
Sumit corridor ke end par khada thaa
Usne clearly dekha- Aarav aur vaishnavi ek sath khade the .... vaishnavi uska phone dekha rahi thi aur Aarav kuch explain kar rha ..itni dur se awaj kuch clear nhi aa rahi thi par ye samajh aa raha tha ki ....baat normal nahi hai...
Sumit kuch seconds tak wahi ruka raha aur unhe dekhte raha
Phir usne ankhen hata li ....wo mud gya bina kuch bole
Bhar aaate hi usne gheri saans lii
Hawa thodi thandi thi par ....uske ander sab kuch heavy lag raha thaa..
Jese chhatti par koi weight rakh diya ho
Usne phone nikala..screen on ki..phir wapis phone pocket me dal diya ..
Kisi se baat krne ka man nahi thaa
Piche se footsteps ki awaj aayi
"Aarav ."sumit ne bina mudhe hi bola
Agar tu explain krne aaya haina...to mat karr
Aarav uske pass aa kar ruk gyaa
"Mai explain nahi kar raha.." usne camly kaha...
"Bas baat clear karni hai.."
Sumit halka sa hansa..par vo hansi real nahi thii
"Clear? Ab kya clear karna reh gaya...
Aarav ne kuch seconds socha....phir bola
"Main ...jhoot nahi bolna chahta tha....
Sumit ne turant jawab diya
"Par tune sach bola bhi nahi..
Dono ke bich silence aagya
Aarav ne dheere se kaha ..
"Mujhe pata tha ki tu bhi use like karta haii....
Sumit ne finally uski taraf dekha
Uski ankhon me sidha sawal thaa..
"Exactly ..usne kaha
"Phir bhi tune wait Kiya...?
Aarav ke pass koi perfect answer nahi tha
"Main.... sure nahi tha.." usne slowly bola
"Mai situation kharab nahi karna chahta thaa..."
Sumit ne sir hila diya.."
"Funny hai...kyuki ab sab kuch kharab hi lagra haiii....
Usne ek second ke liye nazar side me kar li
"Tu confuse tha ....aur mai serious.."
Aarav ne uski taraf dekha
"Main ab bhi serious hoon.."
Sumit ne uski baat par sidha react nahi kiya..
"Tu expect kya kar Raha hai ab .."usne poocha.
Aarav ne honestly bola
"Pata nahii....bas itna ki chizzee aur worse na hoo..."
Sumit ne halki laugh di
"Of..course tuje pata bhi kab hota hai....
Is bar uski awaj thodi sharp thiii
Aarav ne sidha kaha
"Mai dosti loose nahi karna chahta tha...
Sumit ne bina delay ka reply Diya
"Phir to tuje pehle sochna chaiye tha...
Silence phir se aagya
Is bar aur bhi lamba
Aas pass ke log aa jaa rahe the par unke bich ruk sa gya thaa.
"Sumit.."Aarav ne dheere se kaha
Sumit ne hath utha kar use roka
"Bas...Abhi Nhii.....
Usne deep breath li
"Muje thoda time chaiye.."
Aarav ne sir hila diya
"Okay...."
Sumit waha se chla gya
Is bar usne piche mud kar nahi dekha
Udhar corridor me...
Vaishnavi ab bhi wahi khadi thii
Uska focus ab Aarav par nahi....ab us phone me message par thaa...
"Teeno ko....." Usne repeat Kiya
Usne apna phone nikala, contact scroll kiye..phir ruk gyi
"Ye koi random nahi ho skta..."
Usne socha ...
Aarav wapas aaya
"Tum thik ho...." Usne puchha
Vaishnavi ne seedhe jawab nahi diya
"Ye messages....tumhe kab se aarhe hai .... Usne camly pucha
Aarav thoda sa confused tha,
"Kal raat se.."
Vaishnavi ne sir hila diya
"Ajeeb baat hai...." Usne kaha
"Kyuki isme 'teeenoo' likha hai...
Aarav ne uski taraf dekha
"Matlab..?
Vaishnavi ne uski ankhon me dekhte hue kaha
"Matlab jo bhi hai .....wo sirf tumhe nahi janta.."
Aarav ka phone phir vibrate hua
Dono ki nazar ek sath screen par gayi
New message
"Aaj ke liye...itna kafi hai.."
Aarav ne turant type Kiya:
"Tu kya chahte ho..?
Reply almost instantly aaya
"Bas dekh rahi hu ....kaun kitna strong hai....
Aarav ne irritate hokar phone pakda
"Ye koi game khel Raha hai.."
Vaishnavi ne camly kaha
"Ya phir ho koi ...jo sab janta ho
Aarav ne poocha
"Tumhe koi idea hai ...kon ho skta hai...?
Vaishnavi ne thoda socha ...phir sir hila diya
"Abhi nahi....par guess kar skti hu...
Aarav ne turant pucha
"Kaun..?
Vaishnavi ne sidha jawab nhi Diya
"Pehle confirm karna pdega....
Ending
Bahar....
Sumit buliding ke gate ke pass ruk gaya
Usne finally phone nikala
Screen on ki
Ek unread message .
Unknown number.
"It hurts more when it's your own people,right..
Sumit ka expression dhere se change hua
Usne type Kiya
"Tu kaun ho...?
Screen par kuch der ke liye "typing "...aaya...
Phir gayab ho gaya
No reply
Sumit ne phone band kiya
Is bar usne pechee mud kar nahi dekha
Aur dheere dheere gate ke bahar nikal gaya
To be continued....
