Teenon ke phone ek sath vibrate hue
Screen par wahi unknown number...wahi cold message
"Ab tum teenon ready ho...ya me hi sab revel kar doon..?
Kisi ne turant reply nahi kiya
Sumit ne sabse pehle silence break kiya,
"Ye koi hume dara raha haii.."
Aarav ne sidha jawab diya
"Ya phir sach me kuch janta hai.."
Vaishnavi ne camly kaha,
"Jo bhi hai ...hum teenon ko ek sath target kar raha hai,ye coincidence nahi ho skta.."
Sumit ne phone ko tight pakda
"Tum kya chahte ho? Usne finally reply bheja.
Few seconds....
Typing....
Phir message aaya:
"Sach bolna start Karo.."
Aarav ne irritate hokar kaha
"Ye kaunsa stupid game hai ?"
Vaishnavi ne uski taraf dekha
"Shayad .... game nahi hai.."
New message aaya:
"Chalo easy se start krte hai.."
Pause...
Phir....
"Sumit.."
Sumit ki heartbeat thoda fast ho gayi
"Tumne kab realise Kiya .... ki tum vaishnavi ne pyar karte ho..??"
Silence
Aarav ne seedha Sumit ki taraf dekha
Vaishnavi ne bhi
Sumit ne ankhen screen se hata kar,side me kar li
"Main is bakwas ka answer nahi Dene wala usne kaha.
Phir phone vibrate hua
"Agar tum nahi bologe...,to mai bol dunga.."
Sumit ne jawab clench ki
Vaishnavi ne dheere se kaha
"Sumit ...'its ok ....tum bol skte ho
Sumit ne uski taraf dekha
Uski ankhon me pressure nahi.., sirf honesty thii.
Sumit ne finally deep breath li
"...jab tumne us din muje ignore Kiya tha, usne slowly kaha.
aur Aarav ke sath thi.."
Aarav ka expression change hua
Vaishnavi silently sun Rahi thi
Sumit ne continue Kiya
"Us din.... laga ki muje... farak pad raha hai,tab samaj aaya ki mai normal feel nahi kar raha hu.."
Silence
Phone vibrate hua
"Good ...at least ek sach to bhar aaya..
Aarav ne irritate hokar phone dekha
"Ab kya??
Next message
"Aarav.."
"Aarav ne phone uthaya,
"Tumhe kab pata tha ki,Sumit bhi vaishnavi ko like karte hai..?"
Aarav ruk gaya
Is bar uske pass jawab tha ....par vo kehna easy nahi thaa
Sumit ne uski taraf dekha
"Bol.." usne. Camly bola,
Aarav ne thoda time liya
"Muje....pehle se doubt tha." Usne finally kaha
Sumit ki ankhon me direct reaction aaya
"Phir bhi tune kuch nahi bola?
Aarav ne defend nahi kiya
"Main sure nahi tha.."usne slowly kaha
"aur main .... situation complicated nahi karna chahta tha..."
Sumit ka seedhe reply aaya
"Par tune kar diya..,"
Silence again
Phone vibrate hua
"Nice ab ...last part.."
Vaishnavi ka phone bhi same message show kar raha tha
"Vaishnavi.."
Usne dheere se phone pakda
"Tum sach me confuse ho?...ya tum decide kar chuki ho..??
Vaishnavi ki heartbeat clearly fast ho gayi
Sumit aur Aarav dono uski taraf dekh rahe thee
"Answer do..." Sumit ne softly kaha
Is bar uski awaj harsh nahi thii
Vaishnavi ne ankhen band ki ek second ke liye
Phir unhe khola
"Mai confused nahi hoon..." Usne slowly kaha
Aarav aur Sumit dono freeze ho gye
Vaishnavi ne continue Kiya
"Mai bass sure nahi thi ki .....bolna chaiye ya nahii.."
Sumit ne dheere se pucha
"Matlab..??
Vaishnavi ne uski taraf dekha , phir Aarav ki taraf .
"Matlab...mai already feel karti hoon...
Silence
Heavy
Phone phir vibrate hua
"
Finally....truth hurts, right ??
Aarav ne quickly poocha
"Tum kiski btt kar rahi ho.."
Vaishnavi ne sidhe reply nahi kiya
Usne bas itna kaha
"Abhi nahi.."
Sumit ne ankhen thodi narrow ki
Aarav clearly tense ho gya
Phone par last message aaya:
"Game ab start hua hai.."
Is bar koi reply nahi aaya
No typing
Nothing
Teenon waha khade the
Par ab sab kuch pehle jesa nahi tha
Sumit ne dheere se kaha
"Ab ye sirf message ka issue nahi hai.."
Aarav ne sir hila diya
"Yeah .....ab humara issue hai.."
Vaishnavi ne quietly kaha
"Sach bhar aagya hai...
Ab dekhte hai ky tootega.."
To be continued....
