contted...
they came outside the station..
sameer was still in the troma..he was just in the confusion what to do...
uski ankhon ke saamne 24 saal puraana haadsa ghum raha tha..
he could hear the sound of bullets..,people calling for help..
abhi uske liye wo har insaan jo uske aas paas tha..was looking as a suspect,jise uske dad ne
khushi se door karne ke liye bheja hai..
he was restless..aur khushi ..,sameer ko is tarah dekhkar use bhi kuch nahi samajh aa raha tha ki
wo aise kyon behave kar raha hai..abhi panch minute pehle wo bilkul theek tha..to phir aisa kya hua
jisne use itna dara diya hai.
she make him stand at the place..and asked.."kya baat haii.."
sameer: "pleaseee yahan se chalo..,main tumhe phir se nahi khona chahta"
khushi asked very sweetly as she is deeling with a small child.."acchaa theek hai..,chalte hain..
but ye to bataoo ki tumhe jana kahan hai.."
Sameer has no answer..he was just looking around..,and was trying to sence the danger
at the place..
khushi called an auto..and they get settled into it...
she asked the autowaala to drop them in any nearby hotel.
then she took his palm and put it between hers tightly.."relex..kuch nahi hua,,"
they checked in ,in a small hotel,which was near to the station..
room no. 123 ,,1st floor.,as they entered sameer instantly locked the room..
the put on the curtains..was busy checking the room and the washroom attached to it..
khushi holded him and make him sit on the bed..."pleaseeee..koi nahi hai yahan ,bas main hoon..
jo shayad tumhe nazar hi nahi aa rahi"
then he just looked towards her..his eyes were totally red,,confused..dipressed..
khushi then asked her.."kya hua..kyon itna pareshaan ho,,"
sameer: "maine tumse kaha tha na..koi humme follow kar raha hai..,i was right,aur wo log tumhe
mujh se door kar denge"
khushi was shocked on hearing this..she just hugged him to console him.."dekho main tumhaare paas hoon
..koi humme door nahi kar sakta ,."
sameer: "nandu..un logon ko mere dad ne bheja hai,.mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha main kya karoon.."
khushi: "kuch mat socho..abhi tak sab theek ha hai na ..to aage bhi sab theek hi hoga,
jis cheez par humaara koi bas nahin hai uske baare main sochkar koi faayada nahi..
meri taraf dekho...
cool down..accha socho..,"
she put her hands around his neck..and make her face close to him..touched his head with
hers..where they feel the closeness..and the warmth of their bredth.
tumhi bekaari tumhi ho karaar
suni rahen karen tera hi intezaar
har ghadhi dhoonde tujhe ye nigaahen
kabhi na choote ye tera mera saath
"i love u"
he make her sit on the bed..and put his head on her laps.."aaj pata nahi kya hua tha,,
ek pal ke liye laga jaise maine tumhe kho diya hai...
phir sab puraani baaten yaad aa rahi thi,i don know why..,magar ye darr lag raha tha ki jo
pehle hua tha wo phir se na ho"
khushi who was grooming her fingures in his hairs..said.."waqt kabhi nahi rukta..jo beet gaya wo beet
gaya ..ab wo kabhi waapas nahi aaega,,har din ek naya din hai,aur usme kuch naya hoga..
aur is baar to maine god se poori setting kar lee hai ,wo humaare saath hi hain"
then both of them lie down on the bed..khushi continued.."do raat bus ki seat par bitaane ke baad
ye bed kuch zyada hi accha lag raha hai..really"
"aise kya dekh rahe ho"...
sameer replied.."i love u to"
khushi: "kitna waqt laga diya na ye baat kehne main..24+20 almost 44 years..
waise mujhe pata tha..ki mera ye duffer dost kabhi nahi bolega..pehle mujhe hi bolna padega..
and see it.."
sameer: "kehne ki zaroorat thi kya????...tum humesha se jaanti hi thi"
khushi: "haan but ...formality bhi koi cheez hoti hai"
sameer: "yahi to farq hai ek friend aur ek girlfriend main..u need not to be formal with a friend..
kyonki wo humaare dil ki baat humaare kehne se pehle hi samajh jaate hain"
she just smiled..on it as was agreeing on his comment,and the scene moves into a complete silence..
sometimes silence speaks more than what words can say,..and their are only few peoples who
can read the words behind ur silence..those are whom we call friends
***************************************************************************************
next morning when she waked up..sameer was not there beside her..
she moved her eys up..he was standing at the window and was looking upon the traffic..down on
the road...
she walked upto him.."gud morning.."
sameer.."oh gud morning..tum kab uthi,maine dekha hi nahi"
khushi: "ab aapka dhyan to kahin aur hi hai..(she stare at him for a moment)..bolo kahan jana hai"
sameer: "kahin bhi..but ye shahar chodna..kyonki jab tak hum is hotel main hain safe hai..but baahar
kuch bhi ho sakta hai"
khushi: "aaann ..jab tak hum saath hai tab tak safe hain..it looks more easy..
chalte hain..but usse pehle ek coffee to le hi sakte hai..kyon??"
sameer: "yaa..main order kar deta hoon..tab tak tum fresh ho lo"
they had a light breakfast there and left that hotel..
while they were in the way to the station..the auto suddenly stopped..
four man were standing at the mid of the road..forming a wall..they really look dangerous.
sameer steped to get out..but khushi holded his hand to stop him.."ruko..bhaiya..aap auto chalaaiye
khud hi hat jaaenge"
the auto moved a bit ahead..but he had to stop it..when the distance remain an inch between them..
one of them saidd.."ladki ko baahar nikaalo.."
so the other tried to pull her out..but sameer and khushi were resiting it...
but at last they came out ...sameer .."khushi bas mera haath mat chodna..jab tak saath hain we are safe.."
he was just trying to protect her from those peoples..but one of them took out the pen knife..
and tried to stab her..
which has make a wound on her upper arm....he screemed.."aeeeeeeeeeeee"
next time he holed the knife..and pushed that man..in the bushes in the side of the road.
a tough fighting started between them..his eyes..were gone red..
as if he will not leave anyone of them..
the auto waala..stoped his other ...fellows..who were taking their pessengers..
they also helped them,,..
sameer said.."nandu..its the race of life and death....run..just run"
both of then ran ..upto their fullest..
they were injured..badly...but still there was no other way out for them.
...and those peoples were also following themm..
at last they reached the platform ..of the station..
a train was leaving from there..it has not yet speeded up..
sameer.."get in the train.."
they ran for it..and finally,, they manage to get in...
time till those peoples (who were following them)..reached the platform..
the train has left the platform...
