Kuchh Ankahi Baatein

Dil ka dard

Kehte hai kah dene se dil halka ho jata hai.... aaj Sameer ne bhi apna dil, apna dard sab Nanu ke saamne khul kar rakh diya, jiska Nanu kab se intzaar kar rahe the... 

Nanu looked at him with moist eyes, his voice heavy with emotion, "mujhe nahin pata tha ki tu apne dil mein itna dard liye ghoomta hai... aur tere chehre ki yeh muskaan... tu ne kabhi jaahir hi nahin hone diya. Kaise kar leta hai tu yeh sab, Sameer...?"

Sameer gave a faint, heartfelt smile, his eyes soft yet firm, "aapse hi toh sikha hai, Nanu... ki apne se pehle apno ke baare mein socho. Aur mere liye duniya mein aapse badhkar koi nahin hai..."

He paused, his voice deepening with sincerity, "aapke liye toh main duniya ki koi bhi khushi chhod sakta hoon... phir us waqt toh mujhe khud bhi iss rishte ka poora ehsaas nahin tha. Kuch bhi clear nahin tha tab tak..."

His gaze drifted, as if reliving those emotions, "bas itna yakeen tha... ki uske alawa main kisi aur se zindagi bhar pyaar nahin kar paunga."

The room fell silent again, but this time it wasn't heavy—it was filled with the depth of his truth, one that needed no further explanation.

Sameer paused for a moment, then continued, his voice soft yet filled with depth, "pehle toh voh mujhe dekh kar avoid karti rahi, phir mujhe pata chala usake accident ke baare mein... mein chahta toh tha ki pehli mulaqat mein hi mein usse apne dil ki baat bata dun jo kab se meine chhupa rakhi thi, par usaki udaasi, usaki voh khamoshi, jaise voh sirf dusaron ki Khushi ke liye hi hansti hai, apne baare mein, apne sapnon ke baare mein toh voh sab bhool hi gayi hai, yeh sab dekh kar himmat hi nahin hui... bahut mushkil hui khud ko rokne mein, par mujhe laga shayad yeh sahi waqt nahin hai usse sab batane ka, isiliye maine usse pehle dosti ki.. taaki mein usake dil mein, uski zindagi mein apne liye jagah bana saku, usse hasna, khul kar jeena sikha saku, apne liye sahi faisle lene ki himmat de sakun...

He sighed heavily, "pata nahin mein kitna kamyaab hua hu par abhi bhi bahut kuchh hai jo usaki aankhon mein dikhta hai par samajh nahin aata... ek dard sa hai, ek khamoshi si hai... chah kar bhi mein ab tak us mukaam par nahin pahuncha hun jahaan mein khul kar usse apne dil ki baat bata sakun..."

Nanu : Sameer tujhe pata hai, tu meri zindagi hai, meri jaan hai... vaise toh Vishakha meri eklauti santaan hai jise maine bahut laad pyar se paala, usake har armaan poore kiye, par phir bhi agar koi mujhse puchhe ki mein tujh mein ya Vishakha mein se kisse jyada pyar karta hun to mera jawaab tu hoga... par sach kahun to aaj mein Naina se bhi bahut pyar karta hun... aur mein bilkul bardasht nahin kar paaunga ki koi bhi, kisi bhi wajah se us bachchi ko dukh de... tu bhi nahin.... Mein kabhi maaf nahin kar sakunga agar tune usse koi dukh diya toh...

After a pause, "Ek baat apne dil par haath rakh kar bata ki kya sach mein tu Naina se sachche dil se pyaar karta hai... usse apnayega iss haal mein bhi.... kahin kuchh kadam chal kar tera pyar kamjor toh nahin pad jayega... kyunki pyar hona, uska ikraar karna ek baat hai, par usse poori zindagi nibhana, saath chalna alag baat hai... voh pehle hi bahut toot chuki hai, andar se kamjor hai.. par usaka dil ek sachche moti ki tarah hai... sambhaal paayega zindagi bhar usako"

Sameer gently placed his hand on Nanu's head, his touch filled with love and reassurance. His voice grew firm, yet deeply emotional, "Nanu... aap jaante ho, mere liye aapse badh kar koi nahin hai. Aur aaj main aapki kasam kha kar kehta hoon... ki main zindagi bhar Naina ka saath kabhi nahin chhodunga... chaahe kuch bhi ho jaaye."

His eyes reflected unwavering determination, "mujhe dukh zaroor hota hai uski haalat ke baare mein soch kar... par ek pal ke liye bhi mera pyaar kam nahin hua. Aur ab toh jitna main usse jaanne laga hoon... din ba din mera pyaar badhta hi jaata hai..."

He paused, choosing his next words carefully, "mein maanta hoon ki maine aaj tak usse apne dil ki baat nahin kahi... par uski wajah sirf yahi hai ki main chahta hoon ki woh khud apne dil se mujhe, aur iss rishte ko qubool kare..."
