Shimla ki barfili waadiyon mein ek purani kothi thi, jahan Meera akeli rehti thi. Wo kabhi bolti nahi thi, bas apni ek purani diary mein kuch likhti rehti. Sheher mein log use "Pagal Ladki" kehte the, kyunki wo roz railway station jaati aur kisi ka intezaar karti. Uska ye intezaar hi uski sabse badi "Adhuri Khwahish" thi.
Kabir ki Entry
Ek din Kabir, jo ek mashhoor photojournalist tha, Shimla aaya. Use Meera ki khamoshi aur uske intezaar mein ek badi kahani dikhi. Usne dekha ki Meera ke paas ek purana khat (letter) hai jo saalon purana hai, par wo use aaj bhi kaleje se laga kar rakhti hai. Kabir ne Meera ka bharosa jeeta aur uski diary padhne ki koshish ki.
Meera ne isharon mein bataya ki wo apne mangetar (fiancé) ka intezaar kar rahi hai, jo 20 saal pehle border par gaya tha aur gaddari ke ilzaam mein gayab ho gaya. Kabir ne thaan liya ki wo us insaan ka naam saaf karega aur Meera ko usse milwayega.
Investigation aur Inspector Rathore
Kabir ne is case ki chhanbeen shuru ki. Use mila Inspector Rathore, jo us waqt border ki duty par tha. Rathore ne bataya, "Kabir, us aadmi ka peecha mat karo. Wo ek gaddar tha aur usne desh ke saath dhokha kiya." Lekin Kabir ko laga ki Rathore kuch chhupa raha hai.
The First Big Twist (Cliffhanger)
Kabir ko border ke purane records se ek dhundhli photo mili. Us photo mein wo sipahi (Meera ka mangetar) bilkul Kabir jaisa dikhta tha! Kabir darr gaya. Usne Meera ki diary ka wo aakhri panna chori se khola jo chipka hua tha.
Tabhi Inspector Rathore wahan aaya aur usne Kabir par gun taan di. Usne haste hue kaha, "Kabir, tum koi journalist nahi ho. Yaad karo 20 saal pehle kya hua tha!"
Meera ne pehli baar apni zubaan kholi aur kaha, "Kabir, tum wo nahi ho jise tum dhoond rahe ho... tum wahi qatil ho jisne use maara tha!" Kabir ki aankhein phati ki phati reh gayi. Use apne sar par ek purana zakham mehsoos hua aur sab kuch dhundhla hone laga.
Meera ki pistol ki nali ab Kabir ki taraf thi. Usne pehli baar apni khamoshi todi aur kaha— 'Kabir, tum wo nahi ho jise tum dhoond rahe ho... tum wahi qatil ho jisne use maara tha!' Kabir ke pairo tale zameen nikal gayi. Kya Kabir waqayi ek mujrim tha ya kisi bade jaal ka shikar? Jaaniye agle hisse mein..."
