Pyaari Si Zindagi - 06

Aug 7...

"rona chaha... toh aansooan ne saath choad diya...
hasna chaha... toh muskuraahat dagaa de gayi..."

aaj anu ka janamdin tha!
prem raat ke baraah baje se jaag raha tha!
par ab tak, usne anu ko wish nahi kiya...

itcha toh badi thi anu ke ghar jaakar,
usse surprise karne ki...
lekin... uss din ke baad...
uski himmat hi nahi hui!

prem anu se milne ke liye,
ek mahine se tadap raha tha...
saare gile-shikwe mitaakar,
usne ek hafte pehle ko yeh faisla kar liya tha,
ki chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye...
wah anu ke janamdin pe usse zaroor milega!!

par uss din...
ek hafte pehle...
jab usne phon uthaaya...

prem hello kehne hi waala tha...
itne mein saamne se aawaaz aayi...
wah aawaaz... anu ki thi!!!

anu ro rahi thi...
uncle-aunty usse delhi bhej rahe the...
uski mama ke paas... padhai karne ke liye...
paanch saal ke liye!!!

anu se raha nahi gaya!
usse kisi bhi tarah prem ko bataana tha...
par prem...
prem ne khamoshi mein panah lee...
apne tute hue dil ke tukdoan ko samatete hue,
usne anu se kahaa:
"joh hota hai, achche ke liye hota hai... all d best...
sada khush rehna... naseeb mein hoga,
toh phir milenge..."
aur prem ne phone kaat diya...

aaj... anu ke janamdin par...
prem ne aakhir kaar,
apne andar kaid toofan ko raahat de hi di!!!
ek mahine baad...
ek mahine baad...
prem ke sabar ka baandh toot gaya!!!

ussi pahaad par baithe, jahaan woh aksar mila karte the...
prem ne apne aansuoan ke sailaab ko behne diya...

apni kismat ko bura-bhala keh,
ek ghante tak, prem ne apne naseeb ko koasa!!!
aasmaan mein dubte suraj si haalat ho gayi thi prem ki...
prem ke gamoan ka bojh to vishal ambar bhi nahi utha payaa...

aur... wah baras padaa.....
