Jaise jaise din guzarte gaye, Neelam pareshan hoti gayi. Sahil ka charm aur charisma nazarandaz karna mushkil ho raha tha, aur uski attention se usay aise mehsoos hota tha jaise zindagi mein nayi umeed hai. Usne kabhi socha nahi tha ke woh kisi ke liye itni excited ho sakti hai.
Lekin, Raj ke saath uska rishta bhi toh behtareen tha. Uska beta, uska saathi, jis par woh sabse zyada bharosa karti thi. Woh usay pyaar karti thi, sirf ek maa ki tarah nahi, balki ek gf ki tarah jo unke saath is kathinai mein tha.
Ek shaam, jab Neelam apne kamre mein padhai kar rahi thi, uski soch mein dohraav tha. Tabhi uska phone buzz hua—Sahil ne usay milne ka kaha. Usne kuch der socha, lekin curiosity jeet gayi.
Jab woh unke milne wale sthal par pahunchi, Sahil ek darakht ke neeche tha, uski muskurahat se uska chehra chamak raha tha. "Kya tumne mere baare mein socha?" usne kaha, uski awaaz me kuch alag tha.
Neelam ne gehri saans li, apne jazbat ko dabane ki koshish karte hue. "Sahil, mujhe samajhna hai... yeh sab kya hai."
Woh thoda kareeb aaya, uska mazak ek serious tone mein badal gaya. "Tumhare saath hona mujhe acha lagta hai. Aur mujhe pata hai tum bhi kuch mehsoos karti ho."
Uski baatein Neelam ko chook gayi. "Yeh toh sab complicated hai. Raj ko dekhna padta hai..."
Sahil ne dheere se kaha, "Lekin tumhari khushi bhi toh zaroori hai. Main chahta hoon ke hum dono is waqt ko enjoy karein."
Uski baatein usay kheench rahi thi, uska dil dhadak raha tha. Tabhi, Raj door se dikhayi diya, aur usne instinctively peeche hat gaya, uska dimaag ghoom gaya.
Sahil ne nazar rakhti hui muskurahat se kaha, "Ek pal ke liye socho, Neelam. Kya agar hum dono milkar is waqt ko jee sakte hain?"
Usse apne jazbat ka khud par kabu nahi raha. Bina sochhe, Neelam uske kareeb gayi aur usay ek halka sa kiss diya, jo usay bechain aur khush kar gaya.
Jab usne apne aapko alag kiya, uski nazar Sahil ke aankhon mein thi, uski khushi aur guilt ke beech mein. "Yeh sab sahi nahi hai," usne kaha, lekin us pal ki garmi abhi bhi mehsoos ho rahi thi.
itne mai sahil ne next step kitya vo neelam ko zoro soro se kiss karne kar gaya and apna hath uski pant mai daal diya ye dehk mashus kar ke neelam gili hone lagi thi kuch ase hi karne ke baad ye dono alag hue
Jab woh wapas jaane lagi, uska dil bhari hui thi. Usay dono mardon ke liye apne jazbat ka samna karna tha—Raj, jo hamesha uska saathi tha, aur Sahil, jo uski zindagi ka ek unpredictable thrill tha.
Us raat, jab woh Raj ke saath baithi, usne dekha ke Raj uski bechaini ko mehsoos kar raha hai. "Kya sab theek hai, Maa?" usne pucha dheere se.
Neelam ne sigh kiya, jaante hue ke usay sachai se baat karni hogi. "Raj, mujhe tumse ek baat karni hai... Sahil aur mere baare mein."
Uski confessions ka bhaar hawa mein tha, tayyar unki zindagi ke dynamics ko badalne ke liye.
