In a moonlit night AS is standing by the corner of the ship sailing on a vast river.Wind is blowing his hair and t shirt.He might sailing for somewhere else for new mission. Everything is dark in this midnight,only some moonlight is shining.He is looking at the water.
HM:kya dhoond rahe hai?
[AS looks at his side and finds HM smiling in the moonlight.May be the moon has maked her up more beautiful.Her hair is flying in the air]
HM:pani me kya dhoond rahe hai?
AS:apka chehra
HM:lekin hum toh apke samne khade hai
AS:isiliye toh aab apko dekh rahe hai
HM:par hum toh bas ek khwab hai
[Yes,AS knows it is only his imagination]
AS:aab humare zindegi me apki khwab ke alava hai hi kya?Haan,hai!apki aur humari yaaden aur...
HM:aur?
AS:aur humari adhuri kahani
HM:Humari?yeh kahani toh kabhi hum dono ki thee hi nehi!Apne kaha tha na?kuch kahani adhurepan hi reh jaate hai?Nehi,Yeh toh baas apki kahani me haseena naam ki chahracter ki the end tha aur meri kahani me anubhav naam ki chahracter ki samapti
[AS stares at her.He discovers she looks more beautiful when she speaks.How confidently she is talking.How can it be a halluciantion]
AS:kahani se yaad aa raha hai...ek rajkumar aur rajkumari ki...sunaye?
HM:hm!
AS:Saalo pehle iss nadee ke kinare ek rajkumar aur rajkumari khadi thi.Rajkumar usse bahut pyaar karte thee.Ek din rajkumari ne rajkumar ko parakh ne ke baade me socha.Usne pucha ki pyaar ke liye woh kitni door tak jaa sakte hai...rajkumar ne kya kaha?
HM:kya?
AS:apni jaan de sakte hai.Toh rajkumari uski anghuthi paani me phek diya.
HM:phir?
AS:Rajkumar apni pyaar ko sabit karne ke liye doob diya woh ring dhoondne
HM:Isse woh khudko ashique sabit kar diya?
AS:shyaad!Rajkumari puri din uske intezaar kiya lekin woh iss kabhi wapas aaye hi nehi
[HM remains silent for a while looking at the river.AS can realize what she is thibking about]
HM:sociye,agaar aap uss rajkumar ki jaga hote,aur ring....
AS:hum uss ring ko paani me girne hi nehi dete!Humme lagta hai saccha ashique woh nehi jo pyaar ke liye jaan de sakta hai.Ashique toh woh hai jo pyaar ko nibhaane ke liye pyaar ki rakhsha kare....woh jisse pyaar karta hai uski rakhsha kare....kaushish karke dekhiye na,ring phekne se pehle hi hum apka haath pakad lenge
[Hm smiles]
HM:hum agaar uss rajkumari ki jaga hote toh kabhi apne pyaar ko parakhne ke bade ne soch te hi nehi."Pyaar!"yeh naksha "Bharosa" naam ke dhage se seelai kiya jaa ta hai.Aab agaar dhaaaga hi nehi toh naksha kaisi?Bharosa hi nehi toh pyaar kaisi?
AS:Aur agaar uss dhaage ko kat diya jaaye toh?
HM:Apka matlab dhoka?
[AS goes silent]
HM:dhaaga katne se naksha beegar toh jaata hai lekin naksha toh naksha ki jaga hi rehte hai.Humare dil ke chadar me bhi apke pyaar ka naksha hai uska dhaaga apne kat toh diya lekin humne iss Pyaar naame ke naksha ko hata nehi paya.
AS:Toh uss chadar ko hi phek dijiye!
HM:nehi kar sakte...kyunki hum toh woh chu hi nehi paa rahe hai.Sirf mehsooz kar sakte hai...Humme chu ke dekhiye, aap bhi mehsooz karenge
[HM extends her hand but AS steps behind]
AS:nehi, hum apko nehu chuyenge
HM:kyun?
AS:dar lagta hai,hum apko chune jaaye aur agaar dekhe ki apko chu nehi paa rahe hai,aap gayab ho gaye,yeh sab ek sapna hai,toh?
HM:(chuckles)yeh apne sahi kaha.Hum toh aayee hai baas char pal ke liye,thik jaise aap humare zindegi me aye the
[AS looks at her]
HM:aap aaye toh thee char pal ke liye lekin humara dil akhri saas tak ek naam pe dhadak te rahega...Anubhav!
AS:phirse boliye!
HM:anubhav!
AS:phirse!
AS:anubhav!
AS:phirse!
HM:anubhav....anubhav....anubhav!
[She steps behind and gradually fades away.At the same time, the moon hides behind the cloud the everything gets darken.AS leaves a sigh.He again keeps looking at the unknown]
