Chapter 10

One hour before the party……………..

Kashish abhi bhi apne kamre me bina taiyaar hoke apne gusre huye kal ke bare me soch rahi thi jab sujal office se ghar aata hai………Sujal dekhta hai to kashish kisi gehri soch me hoti hai…………

Sujal: kashish……..

Kashish uthke waha se chale jane lagti hai………..jab sujal kashish ka haath pakad ke use rokta hai………..

Sujal: Kya baat hai……..tum kuch pareshan ho…….kuch kehna chahti ho……..

Kashish: nahin to………..main to bas aise hi……….tum jaldi se taiyaar ho jao……….mehman aate hi hoge………

Sujal: Kashish……….kis se jooth bol rahi ho………mujse ya apne aap se……..agar tum mujse jooth bol rahi ho to main tumhe bata doon ki tumhari aankhen saaf saaf keh rahi hai ki tum jooth bol rahi ho……….batao kya baat hai………

Kashish: Pata nahin sujal………jab bhi meri zindagi me koi badlav aanewala hota hai to ek toofan aake meri puri zindagi badal deta hai………kal tak maine socha bhi nahin who aaj mere saath hua…….main jitni apni zindagi ko bandhne ki koshish karti hoon apne tarike se……lekin zindagi bhi apni hi aur se ruh badalti hai……….Kuch samaj nahin aata me kya karoo………..jo dil kehta hai who dimaag maanne ko taiyaar nahin aur jo dimaag kehta hai who mere dil ko manzoor nahin………ab tum hi batao ki main kya karoo……

Sujal: jaisa me karta hoon waise hi………….apne dil ki aawaz ko suno……….jab bhi koi muskil faisla karna ho to apni aankhen bandh karke jise tum sab se jyada pyaar karti ho uska naam le lena……..apne aap dil se ek aawaz aayegi……..kabhi kabhi hum sawaal bhi khud karte hai aur kahi na kahi jawab bhi hamare andar hi hota hai………

Kashish: Shayad tumne meri musibat hall kar di………..thank you for helping me……….

Sujal: Dost ko thanks or sorry nahi kehte………dost to hote hi khushiyaa aur gumm bantne ke liye…….

Kashish: hmmmmmmm

After some time party starts………guests start to come………..Anjali, kavya. Akshat, charu are here…………Veena and sujal are welcoming everyone…………..

Kashish ko chod ke sab log baat kar rahe the kyunki kashish abhi bhi taiyaar hoke neeche nahin aayi hoti………

Kavya: kaise hai who……….

Sujal: thik hai…………lekin chup chap si rehti hai……..

Charu: who to sirf isliye nayi jagah hai……….naya mahol hai……….kuch din bad sab kuch thik ho jayega…………

Akshat: muje lagata hai hume bilkul normally behave karna chahiye………

Anjali: I think you are right Akshat……….muje lagta hai ki kashish ko kal se hi hospital join karni chahiye………kya sujal tumhari kya rai hai……….

Sujal: pata nahin……..jitna me kashish ko janne ki koshish karta hoon utna hi aisa lagta hai ki main use kabhi samaj hi nahin pata……….pata nahin her waqt kisi ulljan me hoti hai……….kuch pucho to kuch aur hi batati hai………pata nahin kya chupane ki koshish karti rehti hai………

Anjali: sahi kaha……..kashish ko koi samaj hi nahin pata……….woh ek hi chiz hai jo hum sab se chupati rahegi…………apne gumm……….woh bahot khush hone ka dava karegi lekin andar hi andar apne aap me who ghutan mehsoos karti hogi……..main janti hoon ki is baar iski pareshani ki waja kya hai………..aaj se thik teen din bad Kashish aur Sameer ki shaadi huyi thi……..woh gusre huye kal aur aanewale kal ke beech kahi beech chorahe pe rasta bhul gayi hai…………sujal tumhe uska haath tham ke use apni manzil pe lejana hai……….Sujal meri baat ka yakeen karo jis din tum kashish ko samaj paoge us din tum apne aap apna pyaar bhi pa loge……….

Sujal: Shayad tum thik keh rahi ho………..pata nahin who din kab aayega……..

Akshat: who din to pata nahin lekin who dekho kashish aa rahi hai………..

Kashish sidiyon se uthar rahi hai aur sab ki nazar kashish pe hi hoti hai…………Kashish ne hare rang ki saari pehni huyi thi aur kitne sare gehne aur gale me mangalsutra aur maang me sindoor………kashish ko dekh ke shaayd chaand bhi sharma jata……….kashish hall me aake veena ke pass jake khadi hojati hai………..

Veena: bahot pyaari lag rahi ho……….aur yeh rang bhi tumpe bahot nikhar raha hai……….

Kashish: Party bahot hi achchi hai…………waise sab log hai kaha……….

Veena; Sab ka matlab……..sab yaheen to hai……..

Kashish: mera matlab sujal kaha hai…….

Veena: abhi to yahi tha………pata nahin yeh ladka bhi………

Jab kahi se piono ke baj ne ki aawaz aati hai……….sab log dekhte hai to sujal piono baja raha hota hai…….
