Iztiraar

Chapter 31

Subha ka surajh jab nikal aya to Samir ki ankh khul gayi aur usne apne sar ko thaama. Sar ki chout ki wajah se uska sar dukh raha tha. Usne maathe se haath ko ankho pe laya aur ankhe malta uthne laga jab ruka aur apne kandhe pe pare sar pe tawajjah di aur tawajjah hatana mushkil ho gaya.

Woh Amyra ke chehre ko dekhne laga jo uske kandhe pe para tha aur uski mutthion ne uski shirt ko thaama hua tha. Woh halka sa jhuka tha aur uske honto ne uske gaal ko dheere se chua tha aur peechey ho ke uske chehre pe dheemi muskurahat ubhri. Woh hospital se aane ke baad se uske sarhane se ek lamhe ke liye bhi nahi uthi thi.

Usne dheere se uske sar ko apne kandhe se hatana chaha magar pgir jese is khayal ne use rouk diya ke shayad yeh unke woh akhri achey lamhaat hon. Woh wahin ruk gaya aur uske chehre ko dekhne laga. Kandhe pe lagi chout ki dard shayad is lamhe ke aage kuch nahi thi.

Kuch aur waqt guzra to Amyra halka sa hili aur uth gayi.

"I'm sorry mujhe pata nahi chala kab so gayi.."

Usne kaha to Samir sar ko kham karta uth betha. Sar ko peechey lagaye hue woh use dekhne laga.

"At least mujhe utha dete Samir tumhare kandhe pe chout lagi hai aur main-"

Woh bolte bolte ruki aur use dekhne lagi jiski gehri nazre use dekh rahi thi.

"K..kya kar rahe ho..?"

"Wohi jo tumne kaha tha"

Usne kaha to uski awaaz gehri thi ke Amyra ki kamar me sard leher si dhori thi.

"Kya..?"

"Har yaad ko apne andar qaid karne ki koshish ke shayad inke sahare baki zindagi guzar jaye"

Woh bola to Amyra ne ankhe pher lin.

"Kyun ke jaanta hoon tum kitni ziddi ho is liye wajah bhi nahi poochun ga main."

Woh bola to Amyra jawaaban koi wazahat dene lagi jab Samir ki baat ne use kaata.

"Ab phir kisi wazahat me waqt mat zaya karna pehle hi bohat kam waqt hai."

Woh keh ke zeh re lab muskurata hua utha.

"Kahan jaa rahe ho tum?"

"Hum jaa rahe hain taiyar ho jao"

"Magar tumhari tabiyat-"

Woh jaa chuka tha. Amyra ne sar ko jhatka tha aur khud bhi uth khari hui thi.

Woh kapre tabdeel kar ke wapis uske kamre ke samne ayi to woh kamre me nahi tha. Usne phone nikala aur use call karna chaha magar uska text dekh ke ruk gayi.

Samir : I'm waiting in lobby

Woh text dekh ke elevator ki taraf bhari aur saath hi kuch aur messages ka jawaab de rahi thi jo Sabrina Haris dono ne kiye hue the. Phone ke dihaan me use maloom na hua woh kisi se tarayi thi aur jab usne sar uthaya to woh shaks aage bhar chuka tha. Amyra ko uska chehra to na dikha magar kuch ajeeb sa mehsoos hua tha.

"Kuch chahiye aap ko ma'am?"

Paas se guzarte hue hotel ke worker ne use poocha to usne sar ko nafi me jhatka aur elevator ki taraf bhar gayi magar phir bhi woh ajeeb si feeling nahi jaa rahi thi. Woh lobby tak ayi aur gair hazir dimaag ke saath chalti aa rahi thi jab uske samne haath hilaya gaya usne nazre uthayi.
