Parents ki death ke baad Gaurav ab akela ho chuka tha. 🥺
Pr Zaya se friendship gahri thi. ❤️
Dono ek dooze ke liye hi zeene lage the.Zaya hi ab Gaurav ke zeene ka ek sahara thi aur reason bhi.
Zaya ke parents Gaurav ko bilkul like nahi karte the.
Raat ka vakt tha.Baarish bhi halki halki ho rhi thi aur Gaurav usi jagah khadha tha jahan baithkar vah Zaya ke sath ghanton time spend karta tha .
"Colony ka gardan"
"Please mughe dobara contact mat karna ....
meri shaadi fix ho gyi hai "
Gaurav ke chehre pr koi expression nhi tha .
Use Zaya par yakeen hi nahi ho raha tha.
Naa aansu.....naa gussa ....
Bas ek khamoshi jo use Zaya ki baton ka yakeen karne me madad kar rahi thi .
"7 saal"....usne dheere se kaha
"7 saal baad aaj tumhe kya ho gaya?"
Usne aasma ke taraf dekha aur baarish tej ho gyi .
Uske dimaag me flashback chal raha tha .
Uski hasi...uske vaade...uski aawaz sab ekdam se uske dimaag me aane lage tha .
"Mai tumhe kabhi nahi chhodungi"
Ye line baar baar uske dimaag ko jhajhkor de rahi thi .
Vah hass diya .Ek aueed muskan.Thoda pagal sa hansa.
"Sab jhootha tha".....💔💔
Us raat kuch toot gaya tha...
Sirf uska dil hi nahi,puri insaaniyat se bharosa.
Aur vahi raat thi jab Gaurav ne faisla liya-
"Ab mai vo Gaurav nahi rahunga jo kisi ke liye jeeta tha".....
Bahut time guzar gaya.Aaj December ki thandhi raat thi , par Gaurav keval ek black shirt aur jeans me Lucknow ke ek underground club ke bahar khadha tha.
Dhuaan,Sharaab,aur illegal deal ka adda tha...
Shirt ki 3 buttons khuli hui ,thandhi aankhen aur chehre pr ek dangerous calmness.🥷🥷
"Tum naye ho?" Ek aadmi ne poocha .
Gaurav ne sirf ek line boli -
"Mujhe yahin kaam chahiye. Mujhe darr nhi lagta "
Woh aadmi muskuraya.
"Naam?"
Gaurav ne thodi der socha...phir bola-
"Tum kaam dila do,mai naam rakh lunga"
Us din se Gaurav ne apni purani identity chhod di.
Chhote kaam se safar shuru hua...
Smuggling..... Recovery.....phir illegal deals.
Aur dheere dheere...
Log uska naam sunkar darrne lage
"A.K"
Ek aisa naam jo andhere me goonjata tha.
Vo akela hi rahta. Na kisi se baat cheet ,na kisi se friendship.
Room me ek box tha...jisme purani yaaden band thi .
Ek choti si photo 🖼️...Ek letter 💌 ...aur ek brecelate...
Usne kabhi use pheka nahi tha.
"Tumne dhoka diya ....."
"Par mai aaj bhi tumhe bhool nahi paa Raha hun Zaya"
Uski aankho me aansu aa jate.....par agle hi pal unhe poch deta.
"Nahi. Mafiya rote nahi"
Vah apne dil ko patthar karne ki poori koshish kar raha tha .
2 saal baad ....
Ab Gaurav normal aadami nahi tha .Ab vo ek empire tha .
Police uska name sunke tension me aa jaati,aur dushman uske name se chup ho jaate.
Ek deal ke vakt kisi ne usse challange kiya -
"Tu sirf ek broken lover hai...Mafia nahi ban sakta."
Gaurav ne uski aankho me seedha dekha aur dheere se bola -
"Broken log hi dangerous hote hain kyonki unke pas khone ke liye kuch nahi hota .Jo khona tha vo kho chuka hun."
Sirf khamoshi thee.
Ek din roj ki tarah hi Gaurav black mask aur black shirt me ek hotel lobby me enter kar raha tha.
Kisi ko dekhkar achanak tham sa gaya..
Vahi aankhen ,vahi chal dhal,aur vahi chehra
Wo..
Uska past...
Uski heartbeat ek second ke liye ruk gyi.
Vo bhi use hi dekh rahi thi .Shock mein..
"Gaurav?" Zaya ne dheere se kaha.
Par Gaurav ruka nahi .Vo seedhe uske pas gaya aur aur thandhi aawaz me bola-
"Galat pehchaan ho gyi hai" Aur chala gaya.
Par usne phir aaj raat sharaab nahi aansu piye .
Bina soye subah ho gyi thi,halaat bhi.
Roj ki tarah hi Gaurav room se bahar nikla door khola aur aakhen khuli ki khuli rah gyi...
"Zaya?"....
"Haan! mughe tumse kuch kahna hai"....
Wo Gaurav ko samjhane aayi thi. Par use bhoolne ki koshish kar raha tha.
Par problem ye thi -
Dil abhi bhi uska thaa....par duniya uski dushman ban chuki thi ....
Gaurav ke enemies Zaya ko target bana chuke the.
Ab Gaurav ke pas do hi raste the -
1.Apni duniya bachaye
2.Ya usse...
Vah Zaya ke bilkul nazdeek khadha tha inches ka fasla tha . Heartbeat dono ki tej thi.
"Mai tumhari vajah se barbaad hua hun...."
"Par tumhari vajah se jinda bhi hun..."
Zaya ki aankhon me aansu the.
"mai majboor thi.."
Gaurav hass diya-
"Mughe tumse reason nahi chahiye....bas sach chahiye tha."
Kuch pal ki khamoshi ke baad .....
Usne apne aansu poch liye aur bola-
"Mai aisa hi rahunga ....ya phir se insaan banunga."
