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
