“Yeh kahan le aayi Mujhe tu?” Aarav ne apne aas paas khile rang birange phool pattion ko dekh kar muskurate huye kaha aur woh idhar udhar ghoom kar us sundar se bagiche ko dekhne laga. Wahan bilkul bhi jyada log nahi the aur jo the woh apna alag alag kona pakde baithe the. Unmein se kuch couples to kuch single bhi the jo kudrat ke khubsurat najare ka anand maan rahe the. Bagiche ke theek beecho beech ek pani ka chhota sa fuhara bhi tha. Aarav aur Kiara usi taraf chal pade.
“Bhaiya acha laga na aapko?” Kiara ne muskurate huye poocha. Shayad se woh Aarav ke chehre ke haw-bhaw padh paa rahi thi.
“Are bahut achha hai yeh…. Mujhe bilkul bhi idea nahi tha ki hamare aas paas itni jyada khubsurat jagah bhi ho sakti hai.” Aarav bas lagatar wahan ki khubsurati ko nihaare ja raha tha. Tabhi use apne hath par kiara ka naram aur thanda hath mehsoos hua. Aarav ka dhyan ekdum uski taraf gaya to usne dekha Kiara uska hath pakde chal rahi thi aur uski nazarein halka jhuki huyi thi.
“Kya hua? Tu theek to hai na?” Aarav ne poocha “aaj subah se ajeeb sa behave kar rahi hai tu.”
Aarav Kiara hi taraf dekh mushkuraya to woh buri tarah se sharma gayi.
“Nahi aisi to kuch bhi baat nahi hai.” Kiara sharmate huye halki si awaj mein boli. Aur fir jakar fountain ke paas lage bench par nazarein jhuka kar baith gayi. Aarav bhi muskurate huye uske bagal mein baith gaya.
“Achha bura nahi mane to ek baat puchun?” Aarav ne agal bagal kisi ko naa dekh kar kaha.
“Han puchhiye” Kiara ne dheemi awaj mein jawab diya.
“Pehle idhar meri taraf dekh.” Aarav ne apna hath uski chin par rakh ke uska muh apni taraf ghumaya. Kiara uski taraf dekhi aur fir apni najrein neechi karke muskurane lagi.
“Humein koi aise dekhega to kya sochega?” Kiara ne muskurate huye dheemi awaj mein kaha.
“Kisi ko kya padi hai… sab apna apna busy hain maje lene mein.” Aarav ne jawab diya. “Aur agar tere ko aisa hi tha to mujhe idhar kyu leke aayi?”
“Jaisa aap soch rahe hain vaisa nahi hai.” Kiara ne Aarav ki taraf dekh kar ghambir lehje mein kaha “kal jo bhi hamare beech hua…. I know ki aap ko bura laga. I am really very sorry bhaiya.” Kiara ke chehre par halki mayusi thi.
“Tere ko kisne kaha ki mujhe bura laga.” Aarav ne muskurate huye kaha. Kiara ke chehre ke bhaw ab hairani mein badal chuke the.
“Mujhe to laga tujhe bura laga hoga.” Aarav ab Kiara se khul kar baat kar raha tha. Jisse Kiara buri tarah se sharma gayi aur uski nazarein uske pairon par hi tik gayi. Par Aarav ko pata tha ki Kiara uski baaton ka bura nahi maan rahi hai to shayad se use bhi maja aya hoga aur woh yeh soch rahi hogi ki Aarav us par gussa hoga.
“But aap to mujhe ignore kar rahe ho kal se hi. Maine kitni baar aap se baat karne ki koshish ki. Aur aap aise chhote chhote se reply kar rahe the.” Kiara ne masoom si shakal banate huye kaha. “To mujhe laga aap mujhse gussa ho, Kal ke liye.”
“Are woh to main thoda hairan tha ki tujhe kya hua ek dum se but maja to aya hi tha mujhe. Tu bole to ek baar aur kiss karlein abhi?” Aarav ne maskhari karte huye kaha.
“Bhaiya…” Kiara hairani se chilai aur fir ek dum se sharma gayi “aap kitne gande ho.”
“Kyu tujhe achha nahi laga kya kal?” Aarav ab full form mein aa raha tha aur usne soch liya tha ki woh Kiara ko puri tarah se batli mein utar kar hi rahega. Upar se Kiara bhi uski kisi baat ka bura manne ki bajaye bas sharma kar muskuraye ja rahi thi. “Bol na… tere ko acha nahi laga kal?”
“Maine aisa thode na kaha hai.” Kiara ne dabi si awaj mein kaha aur apni jaanghon par se apni skirt ko apne hathon mein jor se jakad liya.
“Achha to fir ek aur kiss kar lete hain na. Maja ayega.”
“Nahi… kal toh galti se ho gayi thi mujhse.” Kiara ne muskurate huye jawab diya.
Aarav:”To fir se galti se karle.”
“hum to galti ek hi baar karte hain. Apko sharam nahi aati kya? Main aapki chhoti si pyari si behan hoon aur dekho na yahan pe kitne sare log hain.” Kiara ne muskura kar kaha. Aarav ache se samajh raha tha ki use bhi in sab baton mein maja aa raha tha aur shayad se woh bhi use kiss karna chahti ho par jagah ki wajah se sharma rahi hogi.
“Kahan jyada log hain idhar. Ek chhoti si kiss dede, kisi ko kuch pata nahi chalega.” Aarav ne apna ek hath uski jangh par tika diya jiski wajah se Kiara ek dum se sakpaka sa gayi aur uski pakad apni skirt ke kapde par aur bhi tight ho gayi.
“Bhaiya kya kar rahe ho? Koi dekh lega.” Kiara ki awaj mein halki madhoshi aur dar ka mixer tha jo mil kar ek ajeeb si cocktail bana raha tha Aarav ke liye. Aarav ne apna hath uski jaangh se nahi hataya balki usne wahan halke se daba diya jisse Kiara ke munh se halki si aah nikal gayi aur usne apni taangein puri takat se akda li.
“Achha… tune bataya nahi ki kal maja aya tha tere ko?” Aarav ne uski jaangh ko halka sa sehlate huye pucha.
“Bhaiya chhodo na please… mujhe dar lag raha hai.” Kiara ne sharmate huye badi mushkil se itna hi kaha aur Aarav ne apna hath wahan se hata liya. Is par Kiara uski taraf hairani se dekhne lagi. Jaise woh bol rahi ho ki please aisa mat karo. Par Aarav use muskurate huye dekh raha tha.
“Bhaiya aise mat dekho na please.” Kiara buri tarah se sharma gayi. “Aap bahut gande ho. Age se kabhi aapke sath nahi aungi.” Kiara gussa hone ka natak sa karne lagi jise Aarav ache se samajh paa raha tha.
Aarav:”Acha… to aaj kyu aayi thi? Main to baith hua tha chup chap class mein. Tu hi mujhe jabardasti idhar kheech layi.”
“Mere ko thode pata tha aap mere sath aise karoge. Mujhe to laga aap kal wali baat ke liye gussa ho to socha aap ko yahan aa kar achha lagega aur mujhe maaf kar doge.” Kiara ne bholi si shakal bana kar kaha.
Aarav:”To tujhe achha nahi laga kya mera aisa karna?”
“Maine aisa thode na kaha.” Kiara halka sa muskura di.
“To phir? Mujhe to ab samajh mein nahi aa raha ki tu chahti kya hai.” Aarav ukhad sa gaya tha Kiara ke aise bartaw se. Ek taraf use lag raha tha jaise Kiara khud hi yeh sab chahti ho aur ek taraf woh sharafat ka natak bhi kar rahi thi.
Kiara:”Bhaiya, dar lag raha hai.”
Aarav: “logon se?”
Kiara ne jawab mein naa mein sar hila diya.
Aarav(hairan hote huye): to phir kisse dar lag raha hai tujhe. Ghar walon se?
Kiara ne phir se naa mein sar hila diya jisse Aarav ab gehri soch mein pad chuka tha.
“Yaar bol ke bata na ki akhir baat kya hai. Aise thode hi samajh ayega mujhe.” Aarav chidhte huye bola.
“Samajh mein nahi aa raha kuch bhi.” Kiara muh neeche kare huye boli “mujhe achha lag raha hai sab kuch par galat bhi lag raha hai. Aap mere bade bhai ho. Kal se pehle maine kabhi apko us nazar se nahi dekha tha. But kal jo kuch bhi hua uske baad…”
Kiara ek dum se bolte bolte chup ho gayi aur uski yeh chup Aarav ke dil ki dhadkan badha rahi thi.
“Uske baad kya… bol na bindas… yeh baat sirf hum dono ke beech mein hi rahegi. I promise ” Aarav ne apne gale par chimti bharte huye kaha.
“Tab se soch rahi hoon ki main bhi to apki GF ho sakti thi agar main apki behan na hoti.” Kiara yeh baat bolte huye buri tarah se sharma gayi aur Aarav ke mukh par ek vijayi muskaan fail gayi. Aaj pehli baar kisi khubsurat kanya ne uski tareef jo ki thi.
“Achha? Itna bhi hot nahi hoon main.” Aarav shayad se apni aur tareef sunne ke mood mein tha.
“Nahi sach mein… kasam se, meri bahut sari friends bhi aapko like karti hain. Aap ek dum kartik aryan jaise lagte ho.” Kiara Aarav ko jaise yakeen dilana chahti thi apni baat ka aur is baat se Aarav jaise hawa mein hi udne laga ho. Woh ek dum se fail kar baith chuka tha aur uski chhati 4 inch aur phool chuki thi.
“Acha konsi saheli hai teri, jo meri itni tareef karti hai?” Aarav ne josh mein ate huye pucha.
“Aapko meri saheliyon mein interest hai kya?” Kiara ka chehra utar sa gaya tha aur Aarav ko bhi mehsoos ho gaya ki usse thodi galti ho gayi thi. Par yahan bhi use apne liye ek acha sanket yeh laga ki Kiara uski baat sun thoda jal rahi thi.
“Are nahi, mujhe to tujh mein interest hai.” Aarav ne kaha “tujhse sundar ladki thode na hai koi hamari class mein.”
“Sach mein?” Kiara ek dum se khush ho gayi “bhaiya aap jhuth to nahi bol rahe na?”
“Are kasam se… tu to ek dum princess hai. Agar meri behan na hoti to kab ka propose kar deta tujhe” Aarav Kiara ko puri tarah se apne kabje mein kar lena chahta tha ab.
“But kya fayda. Humare beech mein thode na kuch ho sakta hai.” Kiara ab ek dum se mayus si ho gayi thi.
“Ismein udaas hone ki kya baat hai? Hum adults hain, jo man aye karein. Kisi Ko kya pata chalega waise bhi.” Aarav Kiara ko samjhane ki koshish kar raha tha.
“Phir bhi bhaiya. Hum bhai behan hi to hai akhir mein. Hamare beech kuch bhi aisa vaisa nahi ho sakta aur aap bhi please aise mat sochiye. Ek baar jo ho gaya so ho gaya. Ab uske bare mein sochne ka koi fayda nahi hai.” Kiara ne dridhta ke sath jawab diya. Jise sun Aarav ko baazi haath se niklti mehsoos huyi.
“Yaar aaj kal sab chalta hai.” Aarav ne phir bhi ek koshish karne ki sochi.
“Bhaiya aap please yeh sab ke bare mein mat socho ab. Hum log jaise hain waise hi theek hai. And mujhe aapko kal ke liye sorry bolna tha bas.” Kiara ne apni baat par adte huye kaha. Aur Aarav ko is baat par bahut jyada gussa aa raha tha. Akhir woh hi to lagatar use hint de rahi thi aur yeh sab shuru bhi usi ne kiya tha. Ab behanchod jab usko ek choot ki umeed thi to klpd kar diya.
Aarav gusse mein aag babula wahan se utha aur garden se bahar ki taraf chal diya. Kiara wahin baithi use jate dekhti rahi shayad se woh bhi andar se utna hi bura mehsoos kar rahi hogi par Aarav ke sath aage badhna use bilkul bhi sahi nahi lag raha tha.
