Meeting ke baad ghar ki khamoshi aur gehri ho gaysakti.
Pehle jahan gussa tha… ab wahan sirf chup thi.
Aur kabhi-kabhi… khamoshi gusse se bhi zyada dard deti hai.
Mai Har roz Papa ki taraf dekhti…
Jaise unki aankhon mein apna future dhoondh rahi ho...
Par unki nazrein aksar usse bach kar nikal jaati thi.
Piyush se baat kam ho gayi thi.
Dono ne decide kiya tha—
"Ab pressure nahi banayenge… jo hoga, families decide karegi. "
Par dil ko kaun samjhaye?
Raat ko mai iary mein likhti hu...
"Pyaar itna mushkil kyun hota hai?"
"Kya sach mein har kahani happy ending deserve nahi karti?"
Chaar din baad…
Shaam ka waqt tha.
Papa ne awaaz lagayi—
"Kashika, zara idhar aana. "
Uska dil ekdum se tez dhadakne laga.
Woh dheere se hall mein aayi.
Maa aur Papa dono wahan baithe the.
Unke chehre par woh softness nahi thi…
Jo mai dekhna chahti thi.
"Baitho," Papa ne seedha kaha.
Mai chupchaap baith gayi.
Uske haath thande ho rahe the.
Kuch seconds ki khamoshi ke baad Papa bole—
"Humne soch liya hai…"
meri ki saansein ruk gayi.
"Yeh rishta nahi ho sakta," Papa ne thande par pakke tone mein kaha.
Jaise kisi ne uske kaano mein shor bhar diya ho...
Har awaaz dheemi pad gayi...
"Kyun, Papa?" usne toot-ti hui awaaz mein poocha.
Papa ne aankhon mein seedha dekh kar kaha..
"Kyuki humne zindagi dekhi hai… aur tumne sirf pyaar dekha hai. "
Maa ne dheere se add kiya...
"Beta, hum tumhari burai nahi chahte… bas tumhe bachana chahte hain…"
"Par main uske bina…" meri awaaz rooh tak se toot rahi thi,
"Main uske bina jee nahi paungi…"
Papa ka chehra sakht ho gaya...
"Yeh sab filmy baatein hain। Log jeete hain… aage badhte hain. "
Mere ke aansu ruk nahi rahe the...
"Papa please… ek chance de dijiye…"
Papa ne sir hila diya.
"Decision final hai. "
Bas… ek line…
Aur sab khatam...
Us raat maine Piyush ko call kiya...
Phone uthte hi dono chup ho gaye...
Jaise dono ko sab samajh aa gaya ho,
"Kya hua?" Piyush ne dheere se poocha।
Mai ro padi...
"Papa maan nahi rahe…"
Doosri taraf bhi khamoshi chha gayi.
"Mere yahan bhi same hai…" Piyush ne dheere se kaha...
Dono kuch seconds tak kuch nahi bole.
"Ab kya karenge?" maine ne toot-te hue poocha.
Piyush ne gehri saans li...
"Main tumhe khona nahi chahta…"
"Main bhi nahi…" maine ne turant kaha...
"Par main tumhe tumhare parivaar se tod bhi nahi sakta…"
Uski awaaz mein dard tha… sach tha.
Mai chup ho gayi...
Yeh wahi sach tha… jisse woh bhaag rahi thi.
Agla din…
Mai ne Piyush se milne ka decision liya..
Wahi purani jagah…
Jahan sab shuru hua tha.
Jab woh usse mili…
Dono kuch seconds tak sirf ek doosre ko dekhte rahe..
Aankhon mein hazaar baatein thi…
Par lafz kam pad gaye.
"Kashika…" Piyush ne dheere se kaha..
"Hum kya karein, Piyush?" usne seedha poocha...
Piyush ne aankhein jhuka li—
"Shayad… humein yahin ruk jaana chahiye…"
Jaise kisi ne Kashika ke dil ko zor se tod diya ho.
"Tum bhi…?" usne disbelief mein poocha.
"Main tumse kam pyaar nahi karta…" Piyush ne kaha,
"Par main tumhe tumhare parents se ladne par majboor nahi kar sakta…"
Mere aansu girte rahe..
"Toh hum haar gaye?"
Piyush ne dheere se kaha..
"Shayad… yeh haar nahi… sacrifice hai…"
"Sacrifice sirf dard deta hai…" maine kaha.
.
Piyush kuch nahi bola..
Ham dono ek dusre ko dekhte rahe..
Ansu gir rahe the.
Bas dheere se uska haath pakda…
Aur phir chhod diya.
Wahi moment tha…
Jahan sab khatam ho gaya..
Mai jane ke liye palti par...
Dil me dard tha jo kam hi nhi ho rha tha..
Use chod kar jane ka mann hi nhi man rha tha.
Mai uske taraf palti..
Wo bhi wahi dard bhare najar se mujhe dekh rha tha...
Mujhse rha nhi gya..
Maine use jor se gle lagaya, jo pahla Or aakhiri tha sayad..
Ham dono ro rahe the, ek dusre ko chod kar jane ka man hi nhi tha..
Twist…
Kuch hafton baad...
Meri shaadi fix ho gayi..
Ek "perfect" ladke se...
Achhi job… achhi family… sab kuch perfect..
Par mere dil mein… kuch bhi perfect nahi tha.
Shaadi ke din...
Mai mandap mein baithi thi...
Sab khush the… sab muskura rahe the…
Par meri aankhon mein bas ek chehra tha—
Piyush...
Shaadi ka din aa chuka tha.
Ghar mein dhol, mehendi, roshni… sab kuch tha.
Log has rahe the, ga rahe the…
Par mere ke dil mein sirf ek khamoshi thi.
Mai mandap mein baithi thi…
Laal joda pehne… aankhon mein aansu chhupaye...
Pandit ji mantra padh rahe the…
Aur har mantra ke saath uska dil aur bhaari hota ja raha tha.
"Yeh shaadi sach mein ho rahi hai?"
Mere dimaag mein sirf ek hi sawaal ghoom raha tha.
Maine aankhein band ki…
Aur bas ek chehra saamne aaya....
Piyush..
Uski awaaz… uski smile… uska "main hoon na…"
Aansu uski palkon se nikal kar gaal tak aa gaye.
"Chalo, phere shuru karte hain," Pandit ji ne kaha...
Mere ka haath kaanp gaya...
Tabhi…
"RUKO!!!"
Ek zor ki awaaz ne poora mandap hila diya...
Sab log ekdum se shock ho gaye.
Maine aankhein kholi…
Gate par Piyush khada tha.
Saans chadhi hui… aankhon mein darr… par usse bhi zyada himmat...
"Yeh shaadi nahi ho sakti!" usne zor se kaha.
Poora hall shant ho gaya...
Mere Papa gusse mein uth khade hue....
"Tumhari himmat kaise hui yahan aane ki?!"
Piyush seedha unke saamne aaya....
"Himmat aaj nahi dikhata… toh zindagi bhar pachtaata, Uncle. "
Sab log dekh rahe the…
Koi samajh nahi pa raha tha kya ho raha hai.
Piyush ne meri taraf dekha...
Uski aankhon mein aansu the… par ek hope bhi...
"Uncle…" Piyush ne dheere par strong awaaz mein kaha,
"Main aapse ladne nahi aaya… main apni zindagi maangne aaya hoon।"
"Yeh koi filmy drama nahi hai!" merebPapa gusse mein bole...
"Sir, mere liye yeh film nahi… reality hai,"
Piyush ne jawab diya,
"Agar aaj main chup raha… toh main apne aap ko kabhi maaf nahi kar paunga. "
Maa ne beech mein kaha. ..
"Shaadi rukwana aasaan hai… par kal kya karoge? Society ko kya jawab denge?"
Piyush ne seedha kaha....
"Main har sawaal ka jawab dunga… bas ek baar aap log humein chance de dijiye. "
Mai ab tak chup thi.....
Par iss baar woh khadi ho gayi....
Uska dil zor se dhadak raha tha…
Par awaaz pehli baar itni strong thi....
"Papa…"
Sabki nazar us par aa gayi....
"Main jhooth ke saath apni zindagi shuru nahi kar sakti," Maine dheere se kaha,
"Main kisi aur ki ho kar… kisi aur ke baare mein nahi soch sakti…"
Mandap mein baitha ladka bhi shock ho gaya.
Mai uski taraf mud kar boli...
"I'm sorry… par yeh galat hai… aapke saath bhi… mere saath bhi…"
Woh ladka chupchaap sir jhuka kar baith gaya...
Papa ka gussa ab dard mein badal raha tha.
"Tum log samajhte kyun nahi?" unhone heavy awaaz mein kaha,
"Main tumhe khona nahi chahta…"
Mai unke paas aayi...
"Papa… aap mujhe kho nahi rahe… aap mujhe samajh rahe hain…"
Unki aankhon mein aansu aa gaye....
"Main aapse door nahi jaaungi… par main jhooth ke saath nahi jee sakti…"
Room mein ek gehri khamoshi chha gayi.
Tabhi…
Piyush ke Papa bhi aage aaye...
"Bas bahut ho gaya," unhone thoda strict tone mein kaha...
Sab unki taraf dekhne lage.
"Humne pehle mana kiya tha… kyunki humein darr tha," unhone kaha,
"Par aaj… yeh ladka sabke saamne khada hai… apne pyaar ke liye… zimmedaari ke saath…"
Unhone mere Papa ki taraf dekha...
"Shayad humein inhe ek chance dena chahiye…"
Sab shock ho gaye...
Piyush ki Maa ne bhi haan mein haan milayi.
"Yeh dono sach mein serious hain…"
Mere Papa ne dono ko dekha…
Ek taraf beti…
Dusri taraf uska pyaar…
Aur beech mein unka darr....
Kuch seconds ke liye sab chup ho gaya.
Phir unhone dheere se kaha..
"Agar main mana karta raha… toh shayad main tumhe sach mein kho dunga…"
Meri saansein ruk gayi...
Papa ne aankhon mein aansu lekar kaha...
"Thik hai… main maan gaya…"
Mai shock ho gayi....
"Papa…?"
"Par ek condition hai," unhone kaha,
"Is rishte ko nibhana… kisi bhi condition mein…"
Mai ro padi...
"Promise, Papa…"
Piyush ne aage badhkar unke pair chhuye...
"Thank you, Uncle… main aapka trust kabhi nahi todunga…"
Mandap ka mahaul badal chuka tha...
Jo shaadi tootne wali thi…
Wahi ab sach mein hone wali thi...
Ham dono apne aap ko rok nhi paye, sabke samne piyush ne mujhe gle laga liya.
Tabhi...
Pandit ji ne muskura kar kaha....
"Toh ab asli dulha-dulhan ko bulaya jaaye?"
Sabke chehre par smile aa gayi....
Kashika aur Piyush mandap mein saath baithe..
Is baar darr nahi tha…
Sirf sukoon tha.
Jab phere shuru hue…
Har vachan ke saath unka rishta aur strong hota gaya....
Mai ne dheere se kaha....
"Is baar sach mein jeet gaye…"
Piyush muskura kar bola...
"Is baar nahi… humesha ke liye…"
Zindagi ne ek aur mod liya…
Par iss baar…
Yeh mod khushi ka tha...
Yeh kahani sirf pyaar ki nahi thi…
Himmat, trust aur family ke acceptance ki thi.
Kashika aur Piyush ne prove kar diya...
Ki agar pyaar sachha ho…
Toh duniya ki koi taaqat use tod nahi sakti...
Dosto abhi kahani ki anding nhi hui....
Picture abhi baki hai mere dost..
Happy ending hona baki hai 😊
