Dev entered inside his cabin after longtime. He took a deep breath and his eyes went at the chair 💺 and table where he used to sit usually. As soon as he sat at the chair he closed his eyes and memories came back at his mind.
" Sir May I come in ? Awo Vidhi, tum apna woh notepad pe letter draft karo ."
" Miss Vidhi tumhari written apology kaun see file mein daalun "
" Vidhi ladkon ke one track mind hote hein. Lekin Sir mere toh koyi ladke dost hi nahi hein. Bas ek Arjun aur woh kaafi decent hein. Usne Aaj hi coffee ke liye mujhe poocha. Mana kardo Vidhi"
He smiled 😀 remembering all those sweet moments.
" Kya hua Dev ? Kin khayaalon mein khoye huye ho ? "
Dev was stunned as except him no one was there. Suddenly he saw some pieces of colour papers, some notes from note pads 📜 flying here and there. He catched one of those paper 🗞️ in his hand.
It was a small piece of note " Apne dil kee awaaz suniye"
Dev touched that written note with his fingers.
" Kitne dinon baad tum mujhe haath mein le rahe ho , mujhe choo rahe ho Dev. "
Dev : Aap kaun ?
" Mujhe hi bhool gaye KaagazMan ? Woh din bhi kya the jab Vidhi notepad aur pens leke yahan aati thi..Rangeen kaagazon se apne mez sajati thi..Dev !! Mein woh choti see kaagaz ki chitt hoon jiss mein Vidhi ne gujiya odhke tumhein dee..Kaise apne dil kee baat bina bataye batayi uss ne "
Dev : Aur mein uss din uss se kaha kee maine apne dil kee suni aur usse koyi love letter nahi dee. Balki scholarship dee aur usse batayi kee usse aage badhni hein. Mehnat karni hein "
" Dev idhar dekho , drawyer ke magazine ke peeche . "
Dev find a folded letter. He opened it and he saw the incomplete words in them.
" Mein woh letter hoon jisse tumne kabhi diya hi nahi Vidhi ko. Ghar baithe tumne yeh likha Dev aur woh tumhari maa Satyawati ke haath lag gayi. Unhone issi wajah se toh tumhari sagayi roki Amba se . Kahin kisi ke haath naa lag jaaye isi liye toh chori chupke tum mujhe sabse peeche chupake rakhe Dev. Kabhi mujh mein likhi baatein kahi tumne Vidhi se ? Yeh dil kee lafzon ke guthiyan kabhi suljha paaye tum Dev "
Dev : Hamari shaadi toh ho gayi. Par ek duje ke saath khaas lamhe bitake bahut saari baatein share karne ke mauke bahut kam mile . Sach kahun toh aankhon ko dekhke ek dusre ke dil kee baaton ko padna hi bhool chuka hoon mein
" Mujhe yaad ho ? "
Dev saw another paper and his face become sad
" Mein woh resignation letter hoon joh Vidhi ne dee . Uss din kaise apne Paapa ke khatir usne yeh kadam udayi aur chali gayi"
" Aur mujhe dekho "
Dev saw another paper and he laughed like a kid.
" Pehli baar Vidhi ne sab kuch hand written hi Diya thaa. Kyunki usse toh tab computer use karna aata hi nahi thaa . "
Dev : Yeh handwriting toh bahut Sundar hein bilkul meri masoom see Vidhi ke dil kee Tarah
Then Dev find the colour photo copies .
He took all the papers in his hands and held them towards his heart.
His heart was beating faster than usual and like a blank paper it was telling
" Inn kaagazon kee kashtiyon ne behtar jaana humein
Bhale hi kuch baatein ankahi ho kuch baatein aadhe adhure ho
Woh aadhe adhure shabdon kee duniya joh gawah thee hamare dil ke juzbaaton kee
Woh ek ek akshar jiss mein piroye hein tumhare aur mere aankhon kee bhaasha
Aaj saath hote huye bhi kyun gum hein woh khaas aankhon kee baatein?
Kyun dil Jude hoke bhi juda hein "
So well written. Loved this ❤️
