*"Chai ke 2 Cup"*
Ayaan roz subah 7:15 ki local pakadta tha. Platform ke kona me ek ladki hamesha haath me kitaab aur ek extra chai ka cup liye khadi rehti. Kabhi nahi piti, bas rakhe rehti.
Ek din train late thi. Ayaan ne himmat karke pooch liya, "Roz ek extra chai kyun?"
Woh hasi. "Papa kehte the, zindagi me hamesha ek cup extra umeed ka rakho. Shayad koi mile jise zaroorat ho."
Ayaan ne agle din se apna thermos laana shuru kar diya. 6 mahine tak dono ne platform pe chai baanti, kitaabein badli, aur khamoshi bhi.
Fir ek din woh nahi aayi. Na agle din. Teesre din uski jagah ek purana aadmi tha. Haath me wahi kitaab. "Meri beti ka inteqal ho gaya," usne kaha. "Lekin woh tumhare liye ye chhod gayi hai." Kitaab ke andar ek note tha: _"Umeed ka dusra cup ab tumhara hai. Kisi aur ko dena."_
Aaj Ayaan 7:15 ki local me roz 2 cup chai leke chadta hai. Ek apni, ek kisi anjaan ke liye.
Kyunki pyaar khatam nahi hota. Bas cup badal leta hai.
