Barish ki raat

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.
