“Birthday”<br />
Deepak : Happybirthday bhai! (wish karte hue<br />
bola )<br />
Me : Thanks bro !(Aankhon me ab bhi neend<br />
bhari thi )<br />
Deepak : Ohh bhai tu ab bhi neend me hai?<br />

Deepak aur main bachpan se hi bohut kareeb<br />
hai ek dusre se. Woh ab TCS mein job karta hai,<br />
aur har weekend pe ghar ata hai.<br />
Waise mera naam Siddharth hai. Mujhe<br />
subha subha der tak sona bahut pasand hai.<br />
Bachpan mein to yeh zyada mumkin nahi hota<br />

tha, kyuki udhar sapne khatam hone se pehle<br />
papa ki daant shuru ho jati thi, toh uthna padta<br />
tha aur phir padhai, par ab kaun sunta hai.<br />
Sach mein, umar badhne ke sath sath hum<br />
kitne badal jaate hein. Bachpan mein sochte the<br />
ki kab bade honge hum bahut maza aayega, par<br />
ab jab bade ho gaye to yeh sochte hein ke kash<br />
phir se apne bachpan mein laut paate. Umar ke<br />
sath sath hum badh toh jate hein, par uske sath<br />
sath alag alag tarah ke bahut si yaadein humse<br />
jud jaati hein.<br />
Wese aaj mera birthday hai, par roz raat ko der<br />
se sona aur subha der se uthna yeh meri aadat<br />
ban chuki thi, Shuru shuru me ghar wale daant<br />
lagate the, par ab unko bhi pata chal chuka hai ki<br />
main sudharne wala hoon nahi, so ab unhone bhi<br />
bolna band kardiya hai.<br />
Der se uthne ke baad tayar hokar nashta<br />
karke office chale jaana. Phir sham ko office se<br />
laut ke akele hi waqt guzarna aur kabhi kabhi<br />
office ke kuch kaam karna aur phir raat ko<br />
khaana kha ke phir der raat tak bed pe pade<br />

rehna aur aakhir me so jana. Yehi meri roz ki<br />
zindagi hai.<br />
Kuch khas routine nahi hai, par mujhe akele<br />
waqt guzarna acha lagta hai. Aur weekend pe<br />
thoda doston ke sath waqt gujarna aur masti<br />
karna. Bas yehi hai apni life.<br />
Main mere native ke ICICI bank pe kaam karta<br />
hun. Padhai ke baad mera Hyderabad me<br />
placement hua tha, Wipro me, Par 1 saal ke baad<br />
maine wo job chodh diya aur apne ghar vapis<br />
chala aaya, aur yahan bank me naukri Karli.<br />
Aaj mera birthday toh hai, par sath jaise koi nhi<br />
hai, akela hun.<br />
Yeh zindagi ke raaste kaaton se bhari padi hoti<br />
hai , Jahan kabhi kabhi phool bhi dikh jate hain.<br />
Aur hum kisi ki parvah na karte hue us raste par<br />
chal padte Hain.<br />
Yahan phone notifications ki vajh se hang ho<br />
raha tha birthday wishes se, but mujhe toh bas<br />
ek khas ka intezar tha...<br />

Thodi der baad doorbell baji, Maine jakar<br />
darwaza khola toh dekha samne Ashish khada<br />
tha<br />
‘abey yaar tu kab aaya ?’ maine surprisingly<br />
pucha.<br />
‘kal raat ko hi’, ‘Anyways happy birthday mere<br />
bhai’, usne kaha.<br />
Ashish aur main college ke time ke dost they.<br />
Ab woh Pune me rehta hai, wahan job kar raha<br />
hai. Karib ek saal ke baad wo ghar aya hai, aur<br />
hum mil rahe hein.<br />
‘chal idhar aa, balcony pe baithte hein’,<br />
‘mummy chai la rahi hein, idhar baith ke<br />
piyenge’, main use bolte hue andar bulaya.<br />
Aur hum dono mere room se jude balcony<br />
gaye. Hum aamne samne hokar chair pe baithe<br />
hi they, aur mummy aakar hume chai de gayi.<br />
‘aur kya khabar hai teri, achanak se yanha<br />
aaya aur bataya bhi nahi’, main bola.<br />
‘haan socha tere birthday pe hi jaa raha hun<br />
to sidha ja ke tujhe surprise hi dunga’, usne<br />

‘aur suna hai, tu shaadi karne wala hai ?’,<br />
main usse pucha.<br />
‘haan’, usne ek mayusi bhari muskan me kaha.<br />
‘ghar wale chahte hain main shaadi kar lun. Ab<br />
unki khushi se jyada aur kya hai mere zindagi<br />
mein’, wo thoda gehri saans lete hue bola.<br />
‘Ek taraf tu kisiko bhulane ki koshish kar raha<br />
hai, aur dusre taraf main kisi ka intezar kar raha<br />
hun’, main bhi bhavuk ho ke bola.<br />
Par kis muh se bhi main intezar kar raha tha.<br />
Maine hi to kabhi koshish nahi ki. Kash maine us<br />
din thodi himmat juta li hoti, to shayad aaj<br />
kahani kuch aur hoti.<br />
Par ab kya fayda, ab to sirf main hun aur meri<br />
tanhayi.<br />
Waise har kadam par main akela to tha, par<br />
gum ne mera saath kabhi nahi choda...<br />
‘tu aur teri tanhayi...’, ‘par sach mein, kya<br />
kamal ke din the woh college ke time ke’, woh<br />

“College”<br />
“chaiii garam.. chaii garam...”, ek chai wala<br />
awaz de kar ja raha tha.<br />
‘bhai sahaab, ek chai do na..’, ek meethi si<br />
awaz us chai wale ko pukar rehi thi.<br />
Main Vishakhapatnam-mumbai super fast<br />
express train se Raipur ja raha tha, apni college<br />
ke padhai ke liye. Subha ka time tha aur train<br />
kuch hi der mein Raipur station pahunchne wali<br />
thi, par meri nind abhi bhi puri tarah se puri nahi<br />
hui thi. Lekin uss meethi awaz se aankhen ek<br />
dum se khul gayi. Main samne ki aur sar utha kar<br />
dekha to us compartment ke last mein koi ladki<br />
thi, jo uss chai wale ko awaz de rehi thi.<br />

Woh meri aur apni peeth kar ke apni seat pe<br />
baithi hui thi. Blue colour jeans ke sath white<br />
colour top pehni hui thi. Baal khule hue the aur<br />
kaano me earphone lage hue the. Usne apni<br />
haaton mein ek bracelet pehni hui thi, jo black<br />
aur golden colour ke mix the aur unme kuch<br />
chote chote star the, aur ek Eiffel tower ke jaisa<br />
uss bracelet se jhula jhulne ki tarah jhul raha tha.<br />
Uss nazar ne jaise uss pal mein sab kuch kaid kar<br />
liya.<br />
Chai wala ne aakar uss ladki ko ek cup chai di<br />
aur chala gaya. Badi pyari andaaz mein woh chai<br />
pii rehi thi, aisa lag raha tha jaise chai ke bina<br />
uski din ki shuruwat hi nahi hoti ho.<br />
Kuch hi der baad train platform per pohunch<br />
gayi. maine apna sara saaman train se niche utar<br />
kar uss ladki ko dhundne ki koshish ki, par bheed<br />
mein jaise woh kahin ghum ho gayi.<br />

Tabhi achanak meri nazar uski haathon pe<br />
pehne hue bracelet pe pada. Mujhe yakeen nahi<br />

Deepak baitha tha, aur uske baaju mein yaani<br />

Hum sab train se kerala pahunch gaye. Raat<br />

Wahan pe 2 room liye, ek mein boys aur dusre<br />

pahunchte hi sab so gaye. Main aur ashish jaag<br />

Tension se mera pura sar chakra gaya, main<br />
wahan paas mein sab jagah par use dhundne<br />

Isi beech adha ghanta ho gaya tha, par ankita<br />

‘yani tum rukoge nahi’, wo boli.<br />
Maine naa ishara kiya aur bola, ‘bas khush<br />

Kuch hi der baad main wahan se wapas chala<br />
aaya. Baat toh bas ye thi ki, main use kisi aur ka<br />
bante hue nahi dekh sakta tha. Aana to nahi<br />
chahta tha shaadi mein, par socha pyar ke liye na<br />
sahi, dosti ke liye to jana padega. Bas isiliye aaya<br />

aur iss pal ka ehsaas kiya hoga, unhe zaroor pata<br />
hoga ki isse aage aur koi khamosh chikh nahi hai,<br />
jo dil se nikalti hai par vapis apni badkismati se<br />
takrake laut ati hai aur kisiko sunai nahi deti.<br />
Mere doston ko sab pata tha. Wo sab usse ye<br />
baat batana chahte the, par maine hi unko mana<br />
kiya tha. Waise bhi kya bacha hai ab unn baton<br />
ka. Ek nayi zindagi ki shuruwat karne wali thi wo,<br />
mera pyar itna bhi khudgarz nahi tha ki usko uss<br />
kashmakash mein dalun, jahan se koi khush nahi<br />
reh payega.<br />

chai stall pe chai pi rahe the. Tabhi wahan par ek<br />

Renuka jis bus pe gayi thi, us bus ka accident<br />

‘ruk, main bhi chalta hun tere sath’, deepak<br />

Hum teeno turant hi wahan se ek taxi pakde<br />

Wahan pahunchte hi, bas police aur<br />

roo rahe they. Bus ka samne se adha hissa pura<br />
bikhar gaya tha.<br />
Kuch logon ka chehra buri tarah se ghayal ho<br />
chuka tha. Kisi ke hath mein, kisi ke per mein, kisi<br />
ke sar mein chot lagi thi. Koi seat ke niche pada<br />

ambulance mein nazdik ke hospital pe le jaa rahe<br />

Niche sab laashein line se rakhi gayi thi, aur<br />
sab ke upar kapda dhanka hua tha.<br />
Ashish daud ke gaya aur jo sabse pehla tha,<br />
uske paas ghutana par baith gaya. Phir chehre ke<br />
upar se kapda uthane ke liye apna haath badha<br />

humare aur dekha, aur maine usse ‘haan’ mein<br />
ishara kiya.<br />
Usne samne ke chehre se kapde ko hata diya.<br />
Basss.... Deepak turant usko piche se kandhe<br />

yahan se’.<br />
Kuch hi minutes mein hum wahan se Raipur<br />

ko itne rote hue dekha. Pure raaste wo Renuka<br />
ka naam le kar ro raha tha. Sach me kisi apne ko<br />
khone ka dard bahut hi dardnaak hota hai.<br />
Raat ke 12 baje hum sab aa kar Raipur<br />

Agle subha ko hum sab wahan se humesha ke<br />
liye ghar wapas chale aaye. Agle din ko bahut<br />
mushkil se ashish ko thoda sambhale they.<br />
Bahut saare yaadein uss college se judi hui<br />
thi. Woh kuch hasi majak masti wale lamhe the,<br />
jo humesha ke liye dil se judd gaye the. Aur kisi<br />
ko apne life se kho diye the, to kisi ko iss duniya<br />
se hi kho diye they.<br />

Actually 2 saal pehle Akanksha ek Rajiv naam<br />

dono ke beech sab kuch sahi tha, par dhire dhire<br />
Rajiv ne bahut se baatein Akanksha se chupayi,<br />
usse jhoot bola. Aur akanksha bhi baar baar hurt<br />
hote hote, ek din Rajiv se break up kar liya. Tab<br />
se akanksha ka manna tha ki pyar kabhi umar<br />
bhar nahi rehta. Sab wade, waadon mein reh<br />
jaate hai. Pyar kuch dino ke baad phika pad jaata<br />
hai. Insaan aage badhta rehta hai lekin<br />
mohabbat humesha sath nahi chalti. To uska<br />
manna tha ki pyar bas kuch hi palon ka hota hai,<br />
aur usi palon mein be-intehan sa pyar karna<br />
chahiye.<br />
‘haan, wo to sach hai, pyar kabhi umar bhar<br />
nahi rehta, par phir bhi najane kyun tumhari<br />

‘acha hoga, tum apne bhavnaon ko rok lo. We<br />

Kuch der baad humne khana khatam ki aur<br />
wahan se office laut aaye.<br />
Din guzarne laga tha, woh meri mummy se ek<br />
baar mili, phir ek do baar humare ghar bhi aane<br />
lagi. Meri mummy ko bhi ye pata chala ki woh<br />
mujhe pasand karti hai aur mummy ko bhi woh<br />
pasand thi.<br />
Aur phir aage kya, ghar walon ke aage aur<br />
unke khusi ke aage mera aur kitna din chalne<br />

maine bhi haan bhar di.<br />

Thik 4.30pm ko ashish ka phone aaya. ‘abey<br />

Ek chocolate flavour ka heart shape ka cake<br />

Cake ke upar aur ek pink colour ka rose, jo<br />

Main sidha khada ho kar car ke andar dekh ne<br />

gate pe likha tha ‘Ankita weds Ravin’. Us baat ko<br />

4 saal 4 mahine 8 din ho gaye hain.<br />
Kuch der baad main shaadi ke mandap mein<br />

niche muh kar ke baitha tha. Mere daayein taraf<br />
Deepak aur sanjana khade the aur baayein taraf<br />
ashish aur bhabesh. Mera idhar band baj raha<br />

khusi dene ki, ta ki usko ankita ki kami kabhi<br />
mehsoos na ho.<br />
‘Kal sidhharth ka birthday hai, kuch plan<br />
sochna padega’, main office se bahar nikalte<br />
waqt iss bare mein soch soch ke aa rahi thi.<br />
‘hiii, akankhsha right’, ek ladka mujhe dekh ke<br />
bola.<br />
‘haan, ashish ho na’, main usko dekh ke boli.<br />
‘yes’<br />
Ashish, jo sidhharth ka dost hai, main usse<br />
pehli baar mil rahi thi personally. Wo actually<br />
bohut din baad hi aa raha tha, wo bhi humare<br />
shaadi mein, jo mujhe sidhharth ne bola tha.<br />
‘par tum to shaadi ke din pahunchne waale<br />
the, sidhharth bol raha tha’, maine ashish se<br />
pucha.<br />
‘haan aane to wala tha, par socha kal uska<br />
birthday hai to 2 din pehle ja kar usse surprise de<br />
dunga’, ashish bola.<br />
‘acha chalo uss coffee shop mein chalte hein,<br />
warna sidhharth agar mujhe dekh lega to mera<br />
surprise barbaad ho jayega’, ashish phir se bola.<br />

Kuch der baad hum paas ke coffee shop mein<br />
pahunche. Actually aaj subha ashish ke<br />
pahunchne ki baat pata chali to maine usse<br />
bulaya tha, ta ki kuch plan bana sakun sidhharth<br />
ke birthday ka. Isiliye main bhi subha jaldi aa gayi<br />
thi office ke liye, wo bhi sidhharth ke aane se<br />
pehle.<br />
‘so kuch plan batao phir’, maine bola.<br />
‘haan sochna padega, waise baaki sab ko<br />
evening mein aane do, phir kuch final karenge’,<br />
ashish bola.<br />
‘haan, deepak bhi shaam tak aa jayega’, main<br />
bola.<br />
‘acha main thoda wash room se aata hun’,<br />
ashish bolte hue gaya.<br />
Main baith ke idhar udhar dekh rahi thi, tabhi<br />
3 baar notification aane ka awaz aaya. Maine<br />
dekha ki ashish apna mobile table pe chodh ke<br />
gaya tha. Tabhi meri ankh thoda sa uske mobile<br />
par padi, phir meri nazar jab message par gayi to<br />
main chaunk gayi.<br />

‘please main ek baar sid se milna chahti hun’,<br />
last message what’s app se aaya tha.<br />
Maine jaise hi uss message ko open karne ke<br />
liye try kiya to lock screen pe password mangne<br />
laga. Phir main ashish ke aane ka wait karne lagi<br />
aur kuch plan sochne lagi.<br />
Kuch hi seconds baad ashish aa gaya tha. Hum<br />
dono idhar udhar ki thodi baat kar rehe the.<br />
‘arey tumhara phone do na zara, sidhharth ko<br />
phone karna hai, mere mein charge nahi hai’,<br />
maine kuch der baad kaha.<br />
‘haan haan, ye lo’, usne phone dete hue kaha.<br />
‘aare lock khol ke do..’, main phone pakad kar<br />
boli.<br />
‘haan wo code daalo 1245’, ashish bola.<br />
Plan bilkul meri hisab se chal raha tha, balki<br />
ashish ne to mere plan ko aur aasan bana diya.<br />
Kyun ki uss message ko padhne ki bohot baicheni<br />
thi mere andar, aakhir kaun hai wo jo sid se<br />
milna chahta hai.<br />
Maine jaan bujh ke kisi dusre number pe dial<br />
kiya aur phir sidha what’s app khola to woh<br />

ankita thi. Phir main ankita ke messages check<br />
karne lag gayi.<br />
Tab dekha ki ankita ke last messages ka reply<br />
ashish ne kuch yun diya tha, ‘ab bahut der ho<br />
gaya hai, ab tum wapas aa kar situation ko<br />
bigado mat’.<br />
Maine thoda sa bas purane messages par<br />
nazar daali aur phir bina der kiye ankita ka<br />
number note kar liya.<br />
‘arey sidhharth phone nahi utha raha hai’,<br />
main phone ashish ko wapas dete hue boli.<br />
‘haan shayad raste mein hoga’, ashish bolne<br />
laga. ‘chalo main chalta hun, warna wo kahin aa<br />
na jaye’.<br />
‘haan haan, chalo milte hain phir’, maine bola.<br />
‘haan, bye’, bolte hue ashish wahan se chala<br />
gaya.<br />
Maine time dekha to, waqt kuch 9.40 am ho<br />
raha tha. Maine turant ankita ko phone lagayi.<br />
‘hello ankita’<br />
‘haan, kaun ?’<br />

‘main akanksha bol rahi hun aur tum shayad<br />
mujhe pehchante nahi ho, par mujhe tumse<br />
milna hai, bahut zaroori kaam hai, aur tum<br />
please mana mat karna aur apna address please<br />
mujhe sms kar do’, main bina ruke bolti chali<br />
gayi.<br />
‘haan par, batao kya baat hai’, wo dheemi si<br />
awaz mein boli.<br />
‘sab bataungi, par mil kar. Tum bas address<br />
bhej do mujhe’, maine kaha.<br />
‘ok bhejti hun’, uske itna bolte hi maine<br />
phone cut kar diya.<br />
Agle 1 minute ke andar ankita ne apni vizag ke<br />
office ka address sms kar diya tha. Main bina der<br />
kiye vizag ke liye nikal padi, karib 3 ghante ka<br />
rasta tha yahan se. Raste par sidhharth ko sms<br />
kar diya ki, ‘mujhe shopping ke liye jaana hai, to<br />
office nahi aa paungi’.<br />
Karib 1 pm tak main uske office ke paas<br />
pahunch gayi thi. Phir maine ankita ko phone kar<br />
ke bahar ek restaurant pe bulaya.<br />
‘hii, ankita’, uske aate hi main bola.<br />

‘so batao kya baat hai, mujhe bilkul bhi<br />
samajh nahi aa rahi hai’, wo boli.<br />
Phir maine ankita ko saari baatein batayi.<br />
Kaise main sidhharth se mili, kaise sidhharth aaj<br />
bhi ankita se pyar karta hai, aur kaise main<br />
sidhharth se shaadi kar ne ja rahi hun, wo sab<br />
baatein.<br />
Meri baatein sunn kar wo bahut der tak chup<br />
chap baithi rahi, aur phir mere puchne par usne<br />
apni puri kahani batayi. Kaise uski shaadi hui, aur<br />
kaise uske husband ka accident mein death ho<br />
gaya wo sab.<br />
‘ashish se pichle saal milne ke baad main sid<br />
ko aur bhi miss karne lagi, khas kar jab mujhe ye<br />
baat pata chala ki sid aaj bhi mujhse bahut pyar<br />
karta hai’, ankita boli.<br />
‘shuru shuru mein mere dil mein bhi sid ke<br />
liye kuch had tak pyar tha, par maine uss pyar ko<br />
kabhi badhne nahi diya. Par iss akelepan ne<br />
mujhe uski aur zyada yaad dilai, na chahte hue<br />
bhi mera dil uske baare main sochne laga. Mere<br />
dil mein sid ko lekar pyar badhne laga. Jab usne<br />

mujhse pyar kiya tab toh usse mohabbat karna<br />
saki, lekin isse pehle ki main use humesha ke liye<br />
door ho jaun main bas ek baar usse milna chahti<br />
hun. Par main abhi bhi uske zindagi mein wapas<br />
nahi aana chahti, kyun ke main abhi ek vidhva<br />
hun’, ankita bolti chali jaa rahi thi.<br />
‘dekho ankita, main yahan tumhe mere sath<br />
le jaane aayi hun’, maine usko kaha.<br />
‘nahi akanksha, wo ab mumkin nahi hai.<br />
Bhagvaan ne sid ko tumhare liye banaya hai, jao<br />
sid se shaadi kar ke uske sath khush raho. Maine<br />
sid ko humehsa bas dard hi deeyein hain, Ye<br />
kahaani adhoori thi aur adhoori hi khatam hogi.’,<br />
meri baat par ankita ne jawab diya.<br />
‘bhagvan ne sirf aur sirf tumhe banaya hai<br />
sidhharth ke liye, tabhi to ye sab sanjog banaye<br />
hain’, main boli.<br />
Mujhe khud pata nahi tha uss waqt main kitni<br />
takleef main thi, main khud kaisa andar se<br />
mehsoos kar rahi thi par main bahut koshish kar<br />
rahi thi ankita ko manane ke liye aur mere sath<br />
le jaane ke liye. Par wo meri baat maan ne ko<br />
tayar nahi thi.<br />

‘dekho ankita, kya tum chahti ho ke sidhharth<br />
aise hi humesha dard bhari zindagi jiye. Wo<br />
mujhse shaadi to kar raha hai, par iss rishte se<br />
khush nahi hai. Maine abhi tak bahut koshish ki<br />
hai, par tumhari jagah na kabhi le payi hai aur na<br />
hi kabhi le paungi, mohabbat mein apne pyar ki<br />
khushi zyada mayeene rakhti hai, agar meri<br />
khushi sid se hai toh uski khushi tumse hai, aur<br />
khushi ki khatir main kuch bhi kar sakti hun’,<br />
maine bola.<br />
‘aur tumhe kya lagta hai, tum aise hi puri<br />
zindagi akeli kaat logi. Aise ghut ghut ke jeene se<br />
behtar hai meri baat maan jao, ye tum dono ke<br />
liye behtar hai. Baaki aur kuch tension mat lo, jab<br />
main uske hone wali biwi hokar iss baat se raazi<br />
hun aur tumhe lene aayi hun, to baakiyon ki<br />
chinta karne ki koi zarurat nahi hai. Main sab<br />
sambhal lungi’, main bolti gayi. ‘Baatein 2 dino ki<br />
hogi, pyar hamesha ke liye hoga.’<br />
‘aur haan aaj tumhare paas aakhri mauka hai,<br />
agar aaj tum mere sath nahi chaologi na to puri<br />

Waise bhi agar samundar ki gehrai jitna pyar<br />

Thodi woh galat thi, thodi main galat tha.<br />
Thodi kismat galat thi, aur thoda waqt galat tha.<br />
