Raat ka samay tha.
Aasmaan me Chand saaf dikhayi de rha tha.
Aur halki thandi hava chal rhi thi.pure hostel me lagbhag sannata tha.pinal apne kamare ki balkani me khadi aasmaan ko dekh rhi thi.
Aaj uska dil thoda Bechain tha.lekin use khud ko samajh nhin aa rha tha ki Aisa kyun hai.
Vo dheere dheere relling par khadi dekh rhi thi. Tabhi achanak darvaja pichhe se halke se khula.
"Tum yhan ho"?
Us aavaj ko sunkar pinal halka sa chonk gyi .
Usne turant pichhe mudakar dekha.darvaje par vhin khada tha...halki si smile ke sath.
Tum is samay,pinal ne thoda herani se pucha. Vo dheere dheere uski taraf badha aur bola.
Main tumhe dhund rha tha .Tumhara kamra khula tha to socha dekh loo.
Pinal halka sa muskura di.
Bas.. nind nhin aa rhi thi to yahan aa gyi.
Vo bhi balkani me aakar uske paas khada ho gaya.Dono khuch der tak chupchap aasmaan ki taraf dekhte rhe.hava unke balo ko halka halka hila rhi thi.
Khuch pal bad usne dheere se khan,
Tum janti ho tumhe aise shant dekhna mujhe accha lagta hai.
Pinal ne uski taraf dekha .
Kyun?
Vo thoda muskuraya! Kyuki tum us samay bilkul alag lagti ho.Jaise tumhare andar bhut si baatein chhupi ho.
Pinal halka sa hans di. Tum bhut jyada sochte ho.
Nhin, usne sar hilate hue khan . main bas tumhe samjhne ki koshish karta hu.
Uski baat sunakar pinal khuch der tak chup ho gyi.Uske dil ki dhadkan thodi tez ho gyi thi.
Hawa thodi tez ho gyi aur Pina ke baal face par aa gye .usne unhe hatane ki koshish ki lekin tabhi usne dheere se hath badhakar uske bal kaan ke piche kar diye.
Pinal ke pal ke liye bilkul shant ho gyi.
Unki aankhein mili..aur us samay jaise time rook sa gya.
Tumhari aankhein.."usne dheere se khan".
Inme khuch khas h
Pinal thoda sharmakar niche dekhane lagi.
"Tum bhi na ajib baatein karte ho.
Vo halka sa Hansa.
Ajib nhin sach h".
Khuch pal ki khamoshi fir se dono ke bich me fail gyi.lekin is baar vo khamoshi ajib nhin thi... balki sukoon dene vali thi.
Fir usne dheere se pucha.
Pinal..kya main tumse khuch puchh sakta hoon?
Pinal ne uski taraf aankh uthakar dekha.
"Haan puchho"?
Vo thoda gambhir ho gaya.
"Kya tum mujh par bharosa karti ho."
Pinal ne bina soche turant kha."ha karti hoon."uske chehre par halki muskan aa gyi.
"To fir ek baat batao ...jab bhi main tumhare pass hota hun.tumhara dil itni tez kyun dhadkane lagta hai.
Pinal ki aakhein badi ho gyi."Tumhe kaise pata"?
Vo muskuraya,"kyunki Mera dil bhi vaise hi dhadakta h."
Pinal khuch kah nhin pai aur uska chehra halka sa lal ho gya tha.
Hawa aur thandi ho gyi thi.pinal ne apne hathon ko halka sa pakad liya jaise use thand lag rhi thi.
Vo turant bola ."Thand lag rahi h"?
Pinal ne dheere se sar hila diya.
Vo thoda pass aaya aur bola.To fir andar chale.pinal ne uski taraf dekha aur halki muskan ke sath khan nhin,.. abhi yahan acha lag raha hai.
Vo muskuraya, aur bola mujhe bhi.
Dono fir se relling ke pass khade ho gye.
Khuch der baad pinal ne dheere se khan.
Tum jante ho.. pehle main hamesha akela mahsoos karti thi.
Aur ab.. usne pucha.pinal ne uski taraf dekha.
"Ab aise lagta h jaise..koi h jo meri sach me parvah karta h."
Usne dheere se uska hath pakad liya.
Pinal thodi chonki lekin usne haath nhin hataya. "Main hamesha tumhari parvah karunga".usne dheere se khan.
Pinal ki aakhon me halki si chamak aa gyi.
"Sach"?
Sach
Dono khuch der tak vaise hi khade rhe.hawa chal rhi thi chand chamak rha tha.aur us pal jaise sari duniya shant ho gyi ho.
Pinal ne dheere se khan,kash ye pal kabhi khatam na ho.
Vo muskuraya,"khuchh pal aise hi hote h jo hamesha yaad rah jate h.
Pinal ne uski taraf dekha aur halki si muskura di.us raat chand ki roshni me do dil pehle se aur karib aa gye.
Shayad pinal ko bhi samajh aane lag gya tha ye dosti nhin khuch ...aur hain.
