Yeh Pyaar Tha Ya Sirf Ek Raat Ka Nasha?"

Yeh Pyaar Tha Ya Sirf Ek Raat Ka Nasha?"

Raat ke 2 baje the. Sheher ki sadke sunaasan thi, aur barish ki boonde car ke windshield par gir rahi thi. Rudra apni car me baitha, cigarette ka aakhri kash le raha tha. Wo nashe me tha, lekin uski aankhon me ek ajeeb si bechaini thi.

Achanak, uska phone vibrate hua. "Ishaan Calling…"
Halki si muskurahat aayi, lekin usne call cut kar di. Kuch second baad ek message aaya—

"Mat bhaag Rudra, tum bhi jaante ho ki wo raat sirf nasha nahi thi…"

Rudra ke haath kaanp gaye. Usne gehri saans li aur apne dimag me us raat ki yaadon ko dobara mehsoos karne laga…

Ek Raat Pehle…

Ek party. Tez music. Sharab ke glass. Aur ek lamha jo sab kuch badal gaya.

Rudra aur Ishaan saalo se dost the, magar us raat kuch badal gaya. Andhera kamra, soft music, aur beech me ek ankahee tension.

Rudra ki nazar Ishaan par tiki thi, garm aur gehri. Ishaan ki saansein tez ho rahi thi.

"Yeh galat hai…" Ishaan ne dheere se kaha.

Rudra uske kareeb aaya, awaaz halki aur bhari thi—

"Toh phir yeh itna sahi kyun lag raha hai?"

Aur uss ek lamhe me, Ishaan ne sochna band kar diya.

Unke hoth mile—pehle dheere, phir bechaini se, jaise do roohain saalon ke intezaar ke baad ek ho rahi ho. Ishaan ne pehle resist karne ki koshish ki, lekin Rudra ke haathon ki garmaahat, uski saans ki garmi, sab kuch usse apne emotions se ladne nahi de raha tha.

"Rudra…" Ishaan ne dheere se uska naam liya, jaise kuch kehna chahta ho.

Lekin Rudra ne uski aankhon me dekha aur bola, "Agar rukna chahte ho, to main ruk jaunga."

Ishaan ne ek pal ke liye uski aankhon me dekha, fir bina kuch kahe uska haath thaam liya.

Us raat, wo dono bas ek dusre me kho gaye. Har chhoti si baat, jo unhone kabhi mehsoos ki thi, us raat sab samajh aa gaya. Wo pyaar tha… ya sirf ek raat ka nasha? Ye kisi ko nahi pata.

Lekin subah jab Ishaan aankh khol kar Rudra ki taraf palta, to bed khali tha. Rudra ja chuka tha.


---

Aaj, ek din baad…

Ishaan barish me bheegna pasand nahi karta tha, lekin aaj wo bina chhatri ke khada tha, ussi jagah jahan usne pehli baar Rudra ko dekha tha. Uske phone me ek hi message likha tha—

"Agar wo sirf ek raat ka nasha tha, to aaj bhi meri yaadon me kyun zinda hai?"

Jaane se pehle "Send" button dabane wala tha ki peeche se kisi ne uska haath thaam liya.

Ishaan ne dheere se palat kar dekha… Rudra wahan khada tha.

"Agar sirf nasha hota, to mai wapas nahi aata, Ishaan…" Rudra ki awaaz halki thi, lekin har shabd dil me utar raha tha.

Ishaan ki aankhon me aansu aa gaye. "Phir tum bhaage kyun?"

Rudra ek kadam aage bada, uske geele chehre ko apni ungliyon se chhua. "Kyuki mujhe laga, tumhe sirf ek raat chahiye thi… lekin jab subah tumhari jagah khud ko akela paaya, tab samjha ki mujhe ek poori zindagi chahiye—sirf tumhare saath."

Ishaan kuch nahi bol saka. Usne bas Rudra ko ek gehre gale laga liya, jaise kah raha ho "Mat jao dobara".

Aur uss raat jo shuru hua tha, wo sirf ek nasha nahi tha. Wo ek kahani thi, jo abhi likhi ja rahi thi… saath milkar.

(True love never fades, it just waits to be found again.)

Pati Patni aur woh Part 1: Adhuri Mohabbat Ki Shuruaat Samir Ki Uljhan

Part 1: Adhuri Mohabbat Ki Shuruaat Samir Ki Uljhan Samir ek 28 saal ka aadmi tha jo bahar se hamesha khush dikhne ki koshish karta tha, lekin andar se bohot zyada uljha hua tha. Uski shaadi Prathna se hui thi, jo dekhne me ek pari jaisi thi. Uski badi-badi hirni jaisi aankhein, gulabi honth jo ekdam gulaab ki pankhudiyon jaise lagte the, aur lambay, ghane kaale baal jo hawa me lahraate the—wo kisi bhi insaan ka dil chura sakti thi. Lekin jitni khoobsurat wo thi, utna hi unka rishta majbooti se door tha. Unki ek 3 saal ki beti, Pari, unki shaadi ki sabse pyaari nishani thi. Par fir bhi Samir aur Prathna ke beech wo pyaar aur samajh nahi thi jo ek pati-patni ke beech honi chahiye. Unki ladaaiyan badhti gayi, misunderstandings itni zyada ho gayi ki ek dusre se baat karna bhi mushkil ho gaya. Sabse badi baat, Samir kabhi bhi Prathna ke saath physical nahi ho paaya. Usse kabhi uske saath close hone ka mann hi nahi karta tha. Aur yehi wajah thi ki Prathna ek din gusse me apne mayke chali ga...

Aur ek din, jab dono ek video call pe baat kar rahe the, Anshul ne hasi-hasi me keh diya— "Samir, mujhe tumse pyaar ho gaya hai." Samir pehle to has diya, par uske dil me ek ajeeb si halchal ho gayi.

Jise usne apna maan liya tha, wo use chhod kar chala gaya. Prathna pehle hi apni maa ke ghar ja chuki thi, aur ab Anshul bhi uski zindagi se nikal gaya. Lekin is sab ke beech ek chehra tha jo Samir ko chod kar nahi gaya—Pari. Uski chhoti si beti, jo samajh bhi nahi paayi thi ki uske maa-baap ke beech kya ho raha hai, bas apni masoom hasi se Samir ke dukh ko kam karne ki koshish karti thi. Samir abhi bhi Anshul ko bhool nahi paaya tha, par usse ek baat samajh aa gayi thi—koi bhi insaan permanent nahi hota, par jo rishta sach me tumse juda hota hai, wo kabhi nahi tootta. Samir ne apne dukh ko bhool kar sirf Pari ke liye jeena shuru kiya. Usne decide kiya ki ab wo sirf ek ache father ban kar dikhayega. Prathna Ka Wapas Aana Ek din, Samir Pari ko school se lene gaya, tab usne dekha ki Prathna Pari ke saath khadi thi. ...
