Agle din school me Aisha ka dhyan class me kam aur library ke plan me zyada tha।
Uski best friend Sana ne lunch break me usse yaad dilaya।
"School ke baad library jaana mat bhoolna."
Aisha muskura di।
"Theek hai."
School khatam hone ke baad dono seedha city library ki taraf chal diye।
Library bahut purani thi।
Badi-badi shelves, purani books ki smell, aur bilkul shanti।
Aisha ko wahan aate hi ek ajeeb si khushi mehsoos hui।
Jaise woh apni jagah par aa gayi ho।
Sana ne dheere se kaha,
"Tumhe yeh jagah pasand aayegi."
Aisha ne aas-paas dekha।
Har jagah books hi books thi।
Usne dheere se kaha,
"Yeh to heaven jaisa hai."
Sana hans padi।
Dono ek table par baith gaye।
Aisha ne ek story writing wali book uthayi।
Usne pages palatne shuru kiye।
Usme likha tha:
"Every writer starts with a small story."
"But the biggest stories come from real emotions."
Aisha kuch seconds tak us line ko dekhti rahi।
Usse laga jaise woh line uske liye hi likhi gayi ho।
Sana ne pucha,
"Kya soch rahi ho?"
Aisha ne dheere se kaha,
"Shayad main bhi ek din writer ban sakti hoon."
Sana ne turant jawab diya।
"Shayad nahi… zaroor banogi."
Aisha thodi emotional ho gayi।
Zindagi me pehli baar kisi ne uske dream ko seriously liya tha।
Tabhi library ke dusre corner me koi ladka khada tha।
Woh Aisha ki taraf dekh raha tha।
Uske haath me ek book thi।
Aur uski nazar Aisha par tik gayi thi।
Sana ne bhi usse notice kar liya।
"Lagta hai koi tumhe dekh raha hai," Sana ne dheere se kaha।
Aisha ne peeche mud kar dekha।
Ladka turant dusri taraf dekhne laga।
"Strange," Aisha ne kaha।
Sana ne mazaak me kaha,
"Shayad secret admirer ho।"
Aisha hans padi।
Lekin use bilkul nahi pata tha…
Ki kuch hi dino me woh ladka uski diary se connected hone wala hai।
Aur jab usse Aisha ke letters milenge…
Tab Aisha ki life hamesha ke liye change ho जाएगी।
To be continued…
