Pyaari Si Zindagi - 07

Aug 10

"Woh shaam kuch ajeeb thi...
Yeh shaam bhi ajeeb hai.
Woh kal bhi paas paas thi...
Woh aaj bhi kareeb hai"

aaaaaccchoooooo!!!
yehi anjaam hota hai baarish mein bheegne se!
ek-do ghante hote toh phir bhi thik tha...
par... poori raat!!!
yeh paagalpan nahi toh kya hai?

garma-garam coffee ka cup haath mein liye,
kandhoan pe shawl oadhe, sir par vicks male,
prem aag ke saamne apne pair saek raha tha...

dur kahin raste se,
kisike hasne ki aawaz aa rahi thi...
prem apni jagah se utha, aur apne aap...
uss aawaz ki aor badha...

khidki se jhaank ke dekha...
toh raaste ke beech mein,
ek akeli ladki,
apni hi dhundh mein magan,
bachchi bani,
uchal-uchal ke barish mein bheeg rahi thi!

uski muskaan ekdum ek bachi jaisi thi!
prem bas dekhta hi reh gaya...

uss ladki ne halke se apni palkein uthayi...
un dono ki nazrein mili...
aur...
uss ladki ne ek pyaari si smile di...

prem waapas smile karne hi waala tha...
ke itne mein... ek lamba chauda sa ladka,
haath mein ek chaata liye,
uss ladki ki aor badha...

kuch der baad, dono haathoan mein haath daale...
coffee house ki taraf chalne lage...

ek chota sa lamha,
prem ko uss shyaam ki yaad dila gaya...
kai saaloan pehle...
jab aise hi,
ek maasoom si ladki,
raaste ke beechoan beech khadi...
apni hi dhoond mein magan,
kuch bachchoan ke saath khel rahi thi...

aur isi tarah... ek ladka...
ek chaate ke saath uski aor badha...

woh thi... prem aur anu ki....
pehli mulaakaat!!!
