Kahani Ki Shuruwat: Baarish Mein Ek Anjaan Safar

Bahar tez baarish ho rahi thi, aisi baarish jo dil ko shayar bana de. Vijay apni bike par tha, sadak par akela, par uski muskurahat uske honthon par thi. Baarish ki boondein uske chehre par pad rahi thi, aur uske dil mein ek ajeeb sa sukoon tha. Usne ek gehri saans li aur dheemi aawaz mein ek shayari gungunane laga:

"Yeh baarish bhi kya kamaal karti hai,

Jab padti hai toh dil mein khayal lati hai,

Kaise koi ajnabi mile, aur aisi subah ho,

Jab hum dono ki kahani shuru ho..."

Anjaani Mulaqat

Aage, ek bus stop par, ek ladki khadi thi. Baarish se bachne ki uski koshish bekar thi, uski bechaini uske gusse se saaf jhalak rahi thi. Jaise hi Vijay uske paas se guzra, uski bike ka wheel paani ke ek bade puddle se guzar gaya, aur paani ki phuwaar us ladki par chali gayi.

Woh ladki gusse se palat kar boli, "Aap thoda dekh kar nahi chal sakte kya?"

Vijay ne bike roki aur uski taraf dekha. Bijli ki ek chamak mein, usne us ladki ki aankhon mein gusse ke peeche ek anjaani chamak dekhi. "Maaf karna, madam. Yeh baarish aur andhera, dono hi saazish kar rahe the." usne halki muskurahat ke saath kaha.

Us ladki ne gusse mein kaha, "Yeh koi mazaak ka waqt nahi hai! Meri dress poori kharab ho gayi hai!"

Vijay ne apne jacket ka button kholte hue kaha, "Toh phir ise ek romantic pal samajhte hain. Yeh baarish shayad humein milana chahti thi. Aap meri jacket le lijiye, aur main aapko ghar chhod deta hoon."

Us ladki ne use ghoor kar dekha. Uske honthon par halki si muskurahat aayi, jise usne turant chupa liya. Uske paas koi aur option nahi tha. "Theek hai," usne kaha, "lekin ek shart par... jab tak hum ghar nahi pahunchte, tum ek bhi smart baat nahi karoge."

Vijay ne muskura kar sir hilaya. "Jaisa aap kahen."

Ek Khamosh Safar

Us ladki ne sharmate hue Vijay ki jacket pehni, jo uske liye thodi badi thi. Dono bike par baithe, aur is baar woh thoda kareeb hokar baithi. Vijay ne dheere se bike start ki.

Baarish ab dheemi ho gayi thi, aur hawa mein ek nayi khushboo thi. Sadak par dono ke alawa koi nahi tha. Dono ke beech ek khamoshi thi, par woh ajeeb nahi thi, balki sukoon dene wali thi.

Vijay ne khamoshi ko todte hue dheere se kaha, "Aapka ghar kahan hai?"

Woh ladki ne jawab diya, "Isi colony mein, aage left lekar."

Uske baad, dono chup rahe. Kabhi Vijay us ladki ke baalon ko dekhta, jo baarish mein chamak rahe the. Aur kabhi woh ladki aaine se Vijay ko dekhti, jo gungunata hua bike chala raha tha. Dono ke dil mein ek anjaan ehsaas tha, ek-doosre ke liye curiosity.

Jab Aishwarya ka ghar aaya, Vijay ne bike roki. Aishwarya ne jacket utaar kar Vijay ko di. "Shukriya," usne dheemi aawaz mein kaha.

Vijay ne muskura kar kaha, "Aapka naam toh bata dijiye?"

"Aishwarya," usne kaha, aur phir bina kuch kahe ghar ke andar chali gayi.

Vijay wahin khada raha. Usne Aishwarya ka naam sunte hi apne dil mein ek anokha ehsaas mehsoos kiya. Uski muskurahat ab aur bhi badi ho gayi thi. Yeh safar abhi khatam nahi hua tha, balki abhi to shuru hua tha.

after 1 month Baarish aur Anjaan Safar ke baad, Vijay ka dil Aishwarya ke khayalon mein atka hua tha. Us raat woh ek pub mein apne dost Naresh ke saath baitha tha, lekin uska dhyan kahi aur hi tha.

Pub Mein Vijay: Aishwarya Ka Junoon

Pub mein kaafi shor tha, lekin Vijay ko bas Aishwarya ki awaaz, uski muskurahat, aur uski aankhon ki chamak hi sunai de rahi thi. Usne ek wine ka glass uthaya aur Naresh se kaha, "Aaj peene de, dost. Dil mein jo halchal machi hai, use shant karne ka aur koi tareeka nahi hai."

Naresh ne use roka, "Yaar, tu toh bilkul badal gaya hai. Jab se us ladki se mila hai, tab se tu uske baare mein hi soch raha hai. Yeh pub, yeh shor... is sab mein tujhe sukoon kaise milega?"

Vijay ne ek hi saans mein poora glass khatam kar diya aur bola, "Sahi kaha, Naresh. Yahaan sukoon nahi hai, sirf uski yaadein hain. Yeh pub, yeh log, yeh shor... sab uski yaad dila rahe hain."

Vijay khada hua, aur usne ek shayari gungunani shuru ki, uski awaaz mein ek nasha tha, ek dard tha.

"Jab dil mein koi junoon hota hai,

Toh raat ka andhera bhi roshan hota hai.

Kya baat hai uski, jisne dil ko chhua hai,

Yeh mohabbat hai ya sirf ek dhokha hai?"

Pub mein maujood log uski shayari sunkar uski taraf dekhne lage. Ek aadmi ne sawal kiya, "Kya hua, dost? Kiski yaad mein dooba hai tu?"

Vijay ne muskurate hue jawab diya, "Ek anjaan ladki ki yaad mein. Ek baarish ki raat, ek bike, aur ek khamosh safar. Bas itna hi toh hai hamari kahani."

Dusre ne poochha, "Aur kya hua uske baad?"

Vijay ne kaha, "Uske baad... uske baad bas yeh dil uske peeche bhag raha hai, aur yeh aankhein uski ek jhalak ke liye taras rahi hain."

Ek Gana, Ek Pal

Jaise hi Vijay ne yeh kaha, pub ki saari lights off ho gayi, aur ek spotlight seedha Vijay par padi. Ek halka sa music shuru hua.

🎵🎵🎵

[Music: 'Tum Jo Aaye Zindagi Mein' - Raahat Fateh Ali Khan]

Vijay (gata hua):

"Tum jo aaye zindagi mein baat ban gayi,

Ishq ki kahaniyo mein raat ban gayi.

Kya batau main tumhein kya hai mera haal,

Har pal, har ghadi, har lamha, bas tumhara khayal."

Jaise hi gaana shuru hua, Vijay ki aankhon ke saamne Aishwarya ka chehra ghoomne laga. Usne mehsoos kiya ki yeh gana sirf uske liye tha, sirf uske aur Aishwarya ke beech ki kahani ke liye tha.

Us gana khatam hone ke baad, pub mein ek gehra sannata chha gaya. Sab log Vijay ki taraf dekh rahe the, jaise woh koi filmi hero ho. Vijay ne aahista se mic wapas rakha aur apni kursi par baith gaya, uski aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chamak thi, jismein mohabbat, junoon aur ek anjaan intezaar saaf jhalak raha tha. Naresh ne uske kandhe par haath rakha.

"Dost, tu sach mein usse itna pyar karta hai?" Naresh ne dheemi awaaz mein poocha.

"Pyar? Shayad isse bhi gehra hai," Vijay ne thandi saans lete hue kaha. "Jab tak usse mila nahi tha, tab tak zindagi mein ek kami thi. Ab jab mil gaya hoon, toh lagta hai jaise har saans uske naam ki hai."

Vijay ne uthkar bill pay kiya aur pub se bahar nikal gaya. Raat ab thodi shant ho gayi thi, aur baarish ke baad ki hawa mein ek nayi taazgi thi. Usne apni bike start ki aur usi bus stop ki taraf chal diya, jahan uski aur Aishwarya ki anjaan mulaqat hui thi.

Bus Stop Ki Roshni Aur Ek Anokhi Mulaqat

Vijay apni bike par usi bus stop ke paas pahuncha. Raat ka sannata tha, aur road par sirf uski bike ki headlight ki roshni thi. Usne bike ek taraf khadi ki aur us jagah khada ho gaya jahan woh pehli baar Aishwarya se mila tha. Usko woh poora manzar yaad aane laga.

[Screenplay-style Scene]

FADE IN:

INT. BUS STOP - NIGHT

Vijay (20s), apne khayalon mein gum, bus stop ke paas khada hai. Barish ab ruk chuki hai, lekin zameen par paani ke chhote-chhote puddle ab bhi hain. Uski nazrein neeche hain.

VIJAY (V.O.)

"Kash, tum yahan hoti, Aishwarya. Main tumhe batata ki tumhari woh gusse waali aankhein kitni khoobsurat hain, aur tumhari muskurahat kitni jaadui."

Dheere-dheere, bus stop ki fluorescent light jhalakne lagti hai. Jaise-jaise roshni badhti hai, Vijay ke dil ki dhadkan tez hone lagti hai. Woh hairaan hokar chaaron taraf dekhta hai.

VIJAY (V.O.)

"Yeh kya ho raha hai?"

Bus stop ke paas ek purani dukaan hai. Uski light bhi jhalakne lagti hai. Vijay ghabra kar peechhe palat'ta hai, toh use apni bike ke aage ek naya poster dikhai deta hai.

CLOSE UP ON POSTER

Poster par wahi ladki hai jisse woh mila tha. Poster par bade aksharon mein likha hai, "AISHWARYA: THE RAIN QUEEN."

VIJAY (V.O.)

"Yeh... yeh toh Aishwarya hai! Lekin yeh 'Rain Queen' kya hai?"

Tabhi, uske mobile par ek notification aata hai. Screen par ek video play hone lagta hai. Video mein ek ladki baarish mein dance kar rahi hai, aur background mein wahi gana baj raha hai jo usne pub mein gaya tha.

CLOSE UP ON VIJAY'S FACE

Uski aankhein badi ho jaati hain. Woh samajh jaata hai. Aishwarya koi aam ladki nahi hai. Woh ek social media star hai, ek influencer, jise log 'Rain Queen' ke naam se jaante hain. Uska har video, har post, baarish se jude hote hain.

VIJAY (V.O.)

"Toh yeh woh thi... aur main use ek aam ladki samajh baitha tha."

Tabhi, uske mobile par ek aur notification aata hai. Yeh ek voice note hai, Aishwarya se. Vijay use play karta hai.

[AISHWARYA'S VOICE NOTE]

(Barish ki boondon jaisi awaaz, dheemi aur madhur)

"Vijay... tum toh bilkul shayar nikle. Main janti thi ki tumhari aankhon mein ek kahani chhupi hai. Mujhe tumhare saare raaz pata hain, tumhari woh muskurahat, tumhari woh shayari, aur tumhara woh gaana... sab kuch. Par abhi bhi ek raaz hai, jo tumhari bike par ek aur safar ki taraf ishara kar raha hai. Kal subah 9 baje... usi jagah jahan hum pehli baar mile the. Shayad is baar barish hamari kahani likhegi."

VIJAY (V.O.)

"Yeh ek naya mod hai... meri kahani mein."

Vijay hairaan aur khush hokar muskurata hai. Usne socha tha ki uski kahani ka ant uss bus stop par ho gaya, lekin uski kahani ka asali mod toh ab shuru hua tha aur vijay uske yaadon mai hokar barish ka feel leraharha
