Sujal Ria ko kiss karke upper chat pe chala jata hai...............

**********************************************************************************

Sujal jab chat pe aata hai to Kashish kahi dikhai nahi deti...........Sujal idhar udhar pareshan hoke Kashish ko dhundhne lagta hai..........jab kahi se kashish ki rone ki aahat Sujal ko sunai deti hai...........Sujal us jagah jake dekhta hai to Kashish ek khone me beth ke ro rahi hoti hai.......

Sujal: Kashish...............

Kashish jaldi se apne aanshu ponch deti hai.........

Kashish: Sujal tum is tarah yaha............

Sujal: yahi sawaal to muje karna chahiye............tum yaha aise kyun bethi ho.........

Kashish: pata nahi................

Sujal jake Kashish ke pass bethta hai..........

Sujal: Ria ne bataya ki tum dopahar se yaha pe ho..........kyun Kashish khud ko kis baat ki saza de rahi ho...........

Kashish: main kaha apne aap ko saza de rahi hoon.........saza to woh upperwala muje de raha hai.........pata hai Sujal.........jab bhi main tanha rehna chahti hoon tab main akshar is jagah aati hoon.........yaha pe bahot si yaadein jud gayi hai...........yaha pe main khul ke ro sakti hoon.........papa ke chale jane ke bad main aksar yaha pe aaya karti hoon.............lekin.......

Kashish waha se jane lagti hai jab Sujal uska haath pakad ke use rokne ko kehta hai..........

Kashish: Sujal mera haath chodo.....muje dard ho raha hai..........

Sujal jaldi me Kashsih ka haath chod deta hai.............

Sujal: batao............kya hua hai.........

Kashish: kuch bhi nahi...........chalo neeche bhabhi hamara intzaar kar rahe hoge..........

Sujal: pehle betho..........aur batao kya hua.........

Kashish wapas Sujal ke pass beth jati hai...........

Kashish apni sleeve upper karke Sujal ko apni kalai dikhati hai jaha pe kuch zakham hote hai...............

Sujal: kashish yeh sab ..........

Kashish: kuch nahi.......us din apne aapko bachate bachate.........choodiyaan tut ke uske kanch lag gaye hai..............lekin kuch dino me thik ho jayegi yeh chaut..........

Sujal: bahot dard ho raha hai..............

Kashish: nahi........dard muje yaha nahi balke yaha mere dil me hota hai........aur is dard ki koi dawa nahi............

Sujal: I am Sorry Kashish..........ple ho sake to muje maff kar do............agar muje pata hota to main kabhi tumhare saath aisa nahi hone deta...........

Kashish: janti hoon...........galti kahi na kahi meri hai muje tumhe sachchai bata deni chahiye thi.........agar maine tumhe sach bata diya hota to aaj yeh sab kuch mere saath na hota.........lekin Sujal mere saath jo hua use main bhulna chahti hoon..........lekin yeh jo mera dard hai woh muje kabhi bhulne nahi dega...........

Sujal: Kashish..........main apni galti ko sudharna chahta hoon..........kya hum puri zindagi ek saath nahi reh sakte ............hum khushiyaan........dard sab bat lenge ek dusre ke saath............kya tum wapas nahi aa sakti meri zindagi me..........

Kashish: Sujal......abhi mere dil ne tumhe puri tarah se nahi samja hai........aur abhi teen din baki hai.........main abhi koi faisla nahi le sakti...............muje sochne ka waqt chahiye.............

Sujal: tumhe sochne ka waqt chahiye thik hai.........main tumhe sochne ke liye puri zindagi ka waqt deta hoon.........itna to tumhare liye kafi hoga..........

Kashish: neeche chale..........

Kashish baat ko badal ke neeche chali jati hai............Sujal bhi thodi dair me wapas apne ghar chala jata hai...........

**********************************************************************************

aaj bhi Sujal aise hi office se sidhe Kashish ko milne aata hai..........Kashish apne kamre me hoti hai jab Sujal waha pe aata hai aur dekhta hai to Kashish apni diary me kuch likh rahi hoti hai.............

Sujal: kaisi ho.......

Kashish: thik hoon............tumhara din kaisa raha...........

Sujal; bahot busy............aaj kal bahot kaam rehta hai...........

Kashish: kaam to aakhir kaam hota hai.........tum betho main tumhare liye coffee leke aati hoon...........tum thake huye lagte ho..........

Sujal: nahi uski zaroorat nahi........tum betho...........meri thakan tumhe dekhke hi kahi gayab ho gayi...........lekin tum kya likh rahi thi..........

Kashish; kuch nahi aise hi..........

Sujal: meri burai likh rahi thi jo muje batana nahi chahti.............

Kashish: tumhe kisne kaha ki main tumhare bare me bura likh rahi hoon............kuch achcha bhi to ho sakta hai........

Sujal: agar achcha likh rahi thi tab to woh mere bare me ho hi nahi sakta..............

Kashish: tum aise kyun keh rahe ho.............tum jante ho.....tum bahar se jitna shakht dikhte ho utne dil se nahi.............Sujal tum bahot achche ho.........

Sujal:agar itna hi achcha hoon to phir muje chod ke kyun ja rahi ho...........

Kashish: Sujal..........jane ka faisla maine bahot pehle hi le liya tha...........lekin khushi is baat ki hai ki maine atith me tumhare jaisa ek dost banaya..........jo dil ka bahot hi achcha hai..........

Sujal: maine apni achchai dikhane me bahot dair kar di...........

Kashish: meri ek baat manoge.............mere jane ke bad kisi achchi si ladki se tum shaadi kar lena.........jo khushi main tumhe nahi de payi tum aisi ladki se shaadi karna jo tumhe woh sari khushiyaan de sake........

Sujal: tum bhul rahi ho main shaadishuda hoon...........

Kashish: lekin main bahot jaldi tumhe divorce de rahi hoon.......

Sujal: tum muje divorce de rahi ho............lekin main tumhe kabhi divorce nahi dunga.........

Kashish: tum aisa kyun kar rahe ho..........tum jante ho ki ab hum kabhi saath nahi reh sakte to phir kyun tum mujse chutkara pana nahi chahte...........aur tum to hamesha se yahi chahte the.........

Sujal: chahta tha lekin ab nahi........main tumhe divorce deke itni aasani se kaise apni zindagi se jane de sakta hoon...........agar tum muje divorce deke chali gayi to muje pachtava rahega ki maine apni galti se picha chuda diya ........aur is pachtave ke saath main nahi jee paunga...........is liye tum jaha bh jana chahti ho ja sakti ho.............tum mujse juda rehna chahti ho reh sakti ho lekin mujse tum hamesha ke liye rishta nahi tod sakti.................

Kashish: kyun tum aisa kar rahe ho........apne aap ko kyun taklif de rahe ho..........

Sujal: jo taklif maine tumhe di hai uske samne to yeh kuch bhi nahi...........meri saza yahi hai ki main zindagi bhar tumhara intzaar karunga........lekin main saal me ek bar tumse milne zaroor aaunga..........yeh dekhne ki tum khush ho ya nahi.........kyunki mere liye her pal tumhari khushi sabse jyada mayne rakhti hai...........

Kashish: Sujal yeh sab karke tumhe sirf taklif milegi..........

Sujal: achcha hai.............hum rishtey me kuch nahi to dard hi bat lenge..........

Kashish: tum meri muskeli ko aur badha rahe ho...........

Sujal: aaj tak yahi to kiya hai aur shayad aage bhi yahi karta rahunga...............maine apni sari zindagi tumhare saath bitane ka faisla kar liya hai............baki ka faisla tumhare haath me hai...........haa main tumse yeh yakeen dila sakta hoon ki mere saath mera haath thamogi to kabhi main tumhari ankhoin me aanshu aur dil me dard ko chune nahi dunga...........tumhari zindagi me sirf khushiyaan hi khushiyaan hogi..........tumhare jawab ka muje intzaar rahega.............

yeh kehke Sujal waha se chala jata hai.........Kashish khadi hoke apne dressing table ke pass jake drawer me se apna mangalsutra leke use apne haath me leke samne apni aur sujal ki tasvir ko dekhke kuch sochne lagti hai................

**********************************************************************************

Kashish ghadi me dekhti hai...........

Kashish (to herself): ek ghanta ho gaya...........yeh Sujal ko to abhi aa jana chahiye.......kahi woh kisi kaam me to nahi fas gaya...........nahi agar aisa hota to woh ek bar muje phone karke zaroor batata.............kahi woh kisi musibat me..........nahi muje aisa sochna bhi nahi chahiye............kya karoon kuch samaj me nahi aa raha.......bhabhi se puchti hoon agar use kuch pata ho to..........

Kashish neeche aati hai to Kripa hall me bethi huyi hoti hai.........

Kripa: kya baat hai pareshan lag rahi ho...........

Kashish: bhabhi............ek ghante se Sujal ka intzaar kar rahi hoon lekin abhi tak woh aaya bhi nahi aur phone bhi usne nahi kiya..................kahi woh kisi musibat me na ho..........

Kripa: to tu use phone karke puch le..........

Kashish: lekin main.........

Kripa: Kashish..........tumhara yun Sujal ke liye pareshan hona bata raha hai ki tumhe uski kitni parwaah hai............aur parwaah hum unki karte hai jinhe hum pyaar karte hai...........man lo Kashish meri baat Sujal hi tumhara asli pyaar hai............jitna tum usse dur jaogi kismat tumhe aur bhi kareeb layegi..............ab yeh sab sochna bad me pehle Sujal ko phone karke dekho ki woh hai kaha.........

Kashish: bhabhi woh apna phone nahi utha raha....................muje bahot fikar ho rahi hai uski............pata nahi kaha hoga..............
