Library ka atmosphere us din bhi shaant tha।
Badi khidkiyon se halki sunlight andar aa rahi thi।
Aisha aur Arman usual table par baithe the।
Arman ek novel padh raha tha aur Aisha apni diary me kuch likh rahi thi।
Aaj Aisha thodi nervous thi।
Kyuki us diary me Arman ke naam likha hua letter abhi bhi tha।
Usne diary ko thoda sa close kar diya taaki koi words na dekh sake।
Arman ne notice kiya।
"Tum diary itni hide kyun kar rahi ho?" usne mazaak me pucha।
Aisha ne quickly jawab diya—
"Kyuki tum spy ho।"
Arman hass pada।
"Ek baar galti ho gayi toh hamesha spy?"
Aisha bhi thoda muskura di।
Tabhi librarian ne announce kiya—
"Main thodi der ke liye office ja raha hoon।"
Library me kuch hi students bache the।
Aisha ko achanak yaad aaya ki Sana ne usse call karne ko bola tha।
"Main 2 minute me aati hoon," Aisha ne Arman se kaha।
"Okay," Arman ne sir hilaya।
Aisha diary ko table par rakh kar bahar chali gayi।
Arman akela reh gaya।
Usne thoda time book padhne ki koshish ki।
Lekin uski nazar baar-baar Aisha ki diary par ja rahi thi।
Usne khud se kaha—
"Don't open it."
Lekin curiosity kabhi-kabhi strong ho jaati hai।
Diary ka page thoda sa open tha।
Us par likha hua ek word clearly dikh raha tha।
"Dear Arman…"
Arman freeze ho gaya।
Uska naam dekh kar uska curiosity aur badh gaya।
Usne dheere se page khola।
Aur letter padhna start kiya।
"Mujhe nahi pata ki main yeh letter kabhi tumhe dungi ya nahi."
"Lekin jab tum kehte ho ki main achha likhti hoon… toh mujhe lagta hai ki shayad main sach me writer ban sakti hoon."
Arman dhyan se padh raha tha।
Usne aage padha—
"Aur kabhi-kabhi mujhe lagta hai ki library me tumse milna meri life ka ek lucky moment tha."
Arman ke face par ek soft smile aa gayi।
Usne diary band kar di।
Us moment me usse realize hua—
Aisha ke letters sirf words nahi the।
Woh uske dil ki sachchai the।
Tabhi Aisha wapas aa gayi।
Usne dekha Arman diary ke paas baitha hai।
Aisha ka dil ekदम तेज धड़कने लगा।
"Tumne… diary kholi?" usne nervous tone me pucha।
Arman ne sach bol diya।
"Haan."
Aisha kuch seconds tak usse dekhti rahi।
Uska face red ho gaya।
"Tumne letter bhi padha?"
Arman ne slowly haan me sir hilaya।
Aisha ko samajh nahi aa रहा था क्या बोले।
Usse embarrassment bhi ho रहा था… aur thoda gussa bhi।
"Woh private tha," Aisha ne slowly kaha।
Arman ne softly jawab diya—
"Lekin woh beautiful tha।"
Aisha thodi surprise ho gayi।
Arman ne aage kaha—
"Tumhare words honest hain।"
Phir usne halka sa smile kiya।
"Waise… main bhi ek secret bataun?"
Aisha ne confused ho kar pucha—
"Kya?"
Arman ne slowly kaha—
"Library me tumse milna mere liye bhi lucky moment tha।"
Aisha ka dil ekदम fast beat karne laga।
Us moment me dono ke beech ek different silence tha।
Woh awkward nahi tha।
Woh special tha।
Aur Aisha ko slowly realize ho raha tha…
Ki shayad uski life ki best story ab start ho rahi hai।
To be continued…
