Novel: Anjaan Mohabbat
Baab 5: Dil Ki Ankahi Baatein
Haider aur Ishal ke darmiyan woh kashish jo pehlay ikhtilafaat mein chhupi hui thi, ab dheere dheere samnay aane lagi thi. Woh dono ab bhi bazaahir aik doosray ke mukhalif thay, magar unki khamosh nazrein kuch aur hi kahani bayan kar rahi thin.
Badalta Rawayya
Aaj office mein aik ahem presentation thi, jise Haider aur Ishal ko mil kar pesh karna tha. Dono ki tayyari mukammal thi, magar aik ajeeb si bechaini bhi thi.
"Tum tayyar ho?" Haider ne Ishal ki taraf dekhte hue poocha.
"Haan, bilkul!" Ishal ne khud ko puraaitemaad zaahir karte hue kaha, magar uske dil ki dhadkan mamool se tez thi.
Presentation zabardast rahi, clients ne saraha, aur meeting kamiyab rahi. Magar asal kahani meeting ke baad shuru hui.
Aik Khaas Lamha
Meeting ke baad jab sab log ja chuke thay, Ishal apni filein samait rahi thi ke Haider ne achanak kaha, "Tum ne aaj waqai acha kaam kiya."
Ishal ne hairat se uski taraf dekha, "Yeh tareef waqai thi ya tanz?"
Haider hans pada, "Tumhein lagta hai main hamesha tanz hi karta hoon?"
"Haan, kyunki tum hamesha khud ko mujh se behtar samajhte ho!" Ishal ne sanjeedgi se jawab diya.
Haider kuch lamhay khamosh raha, phir aahista se bola, "Aisa nahi hai... main bas tumhein samajhne ki koshish kar raha hoon."
Ishal ne nazrein charaain. Dil mein hulchul si mach gayi thi.
Anjaan Ehsasaat
Kuch din baad, office mein kaam ke dauraan Fariha ne hanste hue kaha, "Ishal, tumhein nahi lagta ke Haider badal gaya hai?"
"Kya matlab?" Ishal ne chonk kar poocha.
"Pehlay tum dono har waqt behas karte thay, ab bas chup chaap aik doosray ko dekhte rehte ho!"
Ishal ne jaldi se baat badal di, magar Fariha ki baat ne uske dil mein hulchul macha di thi.
"Kya waqai main Haider ko pehlay se mukhtalif mehsoos kar rahi hoon?" Usne khud se sawaal kiya.
Yeh kaisa ehsas tha, jo din ba din barhta ja raha tha? Kya waqai dil ki koi ankahi baatein thin, jo ab kehne ka waqt aa raha tha?
(Jaari hai...)
