Aliya us raat bilkul so nahi saki 🥺
USB drive uske suitcase mein thi… lekin uska wazan sirf metal ka nahi tha, jaise us mein koi bohat bara raaz band ho 💾💔
"Main yeh open karun ya nahi?" woh baar baar soch rahi thi 💭
Dil keh raha tha khol lo… lekin zehan darr raha tha 😶
Akhir usne apna laptop nikala 💻
Haath thode kaanp rahe thay.
USB connect ki… screen blink hui 💡
Aur phir ek folder open hua:
"ALIYA – CONFIDENTIAL" ⚠️
Aliya ka dil zor se dhadka 💓
"Yeh mera naam yahan kyun hai…?"
Folder ke andar sirf ek video file thi 🎥
Usne cursor hover kiya… aur play kar diya.
Screen pe pehle andhera tha 🌑
Phir ek awaaz aayi…
"Agar tum yeh dekh rahi ho… iska matlab main zinda nahi hoon." 💔
Aliya ki saanse ruk gayi 😨
Yeh awaaz… uske baba ki thi!
"Baba…" uski aankhon mein aansu aa gaye 🥺
Video mein uske baba ek purane office mein thay 📁
Unke chehre par tension aur darr saaf nazar aa raha tha.
"Aliya… agar tumhein sach jaan'na hai… to us aadmi par trust mat karna jo tumhein 'K' ke naam se mil raha hai." ⚠️
Aliya ka dil toot gaya 💔
"Yeh… yeh kya keh rahe hain?"
Video continue hua:
"Project 'Shadow Line' ko rokne ke liye main bohat kareeb tha… lekin kisi ne mujhe betray kiya." 😶
Screen thodi glitch hui 📺
Aur phir baba ne last baat kahi:
"Aliya… tum safe nahi ho. Tumhein hamesha nazar rakha ja raha hai." 🌙
Video khatam ho gaya 📵
Room mein khamoshi chhaa gayi 🤫
Sirf clock ki tik tik sunai de rahi thi ⏰
Aliya ka dimagh blank ho gaya 😵
"Matlab… K jhoot bol raha hai?"
Lekin uska dil confuse tha… K ki aankhon mein sach jaisa dard bhi tha 💭
Agli subah 🌤️
Aliya ne faisla kiya ke woh K ko dhoondhegi.
Woh library gayi 📚
Lekin wahan kuch bhi nahi tha… sirf khali shelves aur dhool 😶
"Tum kahan ho…" usne dheere se kaha 🥺
Achanak uske peeche se ek awaaz aayi:
"Main yahin hoon." 🖤
Aliya foran murri 🔄
Samne K khara tha… lekin is baar uska chehra thoda clear tha.
Aliya ne gusse se kaha:
"Tum ne jhoot bola mere baba ke baare mein?!"
K ne calmly kaha:
"Tum video dekh chuki ho?" 😶
"Haan! Tum sab manipulate kar rahe ho!"
K ne ek gehri saans li 🌬️
"Aliya… tumhein sirf adha sach dikhaya gaya hai."
Aliya confuse ho gayi 😵
"Matlab kya?"
K ne ek purani photo uski taraf phenk di 📷
Aliya ne jab dekha… uski saanse phir ruk gayi 💔
Photo mein uske baba… aur K… ek hi team mein thay.
"Yeh… yeh possible nahi…" 🥺
K ne dheere se kaha:
"Main tumhare baba ka dushman nahi… main unka partner tha." 🌙
Aliya ka dimagh hil gaya 😨
"Phir tum ne mujhe yeh sab kyun bataya?"
K ne uski aankhon mein dekha:
"Kyunkay jo log tumhare baba ko maar chuke hain… woh ab tum tak pohanch chuke hain." ⚠️
Bahari hawa tez ho gayi 🌬️
Aur library ki purani lights flicker karne lagi 💡
K ne Aliya ke qareeb aa kar kaha:
"Ab tumhare paas sirf ek raasta hai… ya sach ke saath chalna… ya zindagi se haath dho lena." 💔
Aliya ki aankhon mein darr bhi tha aur determination bhi 😶
Aur usne pehli dafa kaha:
"Phir main sach jaan'ungi…" 🌙
K ne halki si smile ki…
Lekin us smile ke peeche bhi ek aur raaz chhupa tha 🖤
✨ To be continued…
