Balcony par bethe do chidiyon ko pyaar krte dekha hai kabhi? Baat jitni mamuli hai, utni hi pyari bhi. Khair Chidiyon ki baat to mamili hai, par jab do alag balcony ki baat kari jaye, jaise bich me sadak ho, aur amne samne ghar. Aur hawao me mehekta pyaar ho jab balcony balcony na hokar showcase ho jaye, jimse jawan dilon ke fool khile tab baat kuchh aur hai. 

Sadaf firse balcony par bethe uska intezaar kar rahi thi, haath me coffe liye, bechain dil k saath.

Baat to us ladke ko bhi achchi tarah pata hai ki sadaf sirf use hi dekhne balcony par aati hai, firbhi ye hichkichahat kesi?

Sadaf ka dil jitna khula hai.... utna hi sharmila tha vo bewakoof.

Aaj Sadaf ka bechain hona bhi jayaz tha, kyuki kal jab vo aya tha, apni balcony par, hichkicha raha tha, nakhre kar raha tha, par aakhir me pal bhar ke liye nazre mil hi gyi.

Ankhe chura kar dekhne ka silsila pichhle teen dino se jari tha. Har roz kuchh n kuchh naye ishare hote. Ye sab hone k bawajood bhi baat zara kachchi reh gyi hai. Aur usi lalsa me sadaf balcony me hajiri lagaye bethi hai.

Usi pal k intezaar me bechain.

Bechaini esi ki coffee haath me hai, par pine wale ko hosh nahi. Ek lambi raat ke baad sadaf firse balcony par hai, sirf itnezaar kar rahi hai uska jo shayad himmat  juta raha ho bahar nikalne ki.

Intezaar ko khatm karte hue jab vo bahar aya.

Usne ese apne baal saware jaise use pata hi na ho ki koi use dekh raha h.

Sadaf ne muskura kr coffee piya.

Ladka balcony me rakhe gamlo ko pani dene laga.

Sadaf uska tamasha dekh rhi thi aur intezaar kar rahi thi ki kab ladke ki nazar uske muskurate chehre par pade aur gamlo se pani beh jaye.

Beshak, ladke ka dil bhi sadaf ko dekhne ke liye machal raha tha, par ghabrahat jahen se utar nahi rahi.

Dekhne ke tarike sochte-sochte sadaf ko usne is kadar dekha, mano usne sadaf ko pakad liye ho use ghurte hue.

Ab gairon ki balcony me jhankne ka ilzaam akele sadaf par tha. Ladka ankho se hi puchhne laga ki "kyu dekhti ho ese?"

Sadaf ke muskurate chehre ne ye gunah khushi-khushi kabul kiya.

Ladka apni muskurahat chhipa n paya. Usne bhi dekha sadaf ko vese hi, jese vo use dekhti hai.

Aur fir shuru hui wahi baat, jise kehne ki zroort nhi.

Nazar aur muskurahat se baat u chali ki dekhte hi dekhte shaam ho gayi aur chidiyon ko pata bhi n chala.

raat ayi. Bistar par lete-lete muskurana aur pyar bhare gaane sunte jana, ye lambi raat sadaf ko chidhaye ja rahi thi.

Nind aur bechaini dono ek saath sar par havi hai. 

Is besabri ko neend me tabdeel krna asan nahi.

Par raat ka kaam hai sulana, usne sula hi diya..

Balcony me khilkhilati dhoop pd rhi hai. Subeh ke 11 bajne ko hai.

Der tak sone ke liye taane sunati hui uski amma use kehti hai.

"Shopping krne ka plan tha na aaj? Time dekho turant taiyaar ho jao. Mai aur abba nikal rahe hai tum mamu ke saath ana.

amma ko pata tha ki Sadaf shopping le liye pagal thi. 

Par Sadaf ne aaj jane se mana kr diya.

amma ne kuchh der ghoorne ke baad kaha "thik hai fir, soti raho"

Aur abba ke pass jakar shikayat krne lagi.

sadaf ki amma ne abbu aur mamu ko is mamle me ghaseet diya. Ab teeno mil kr sadaf se sawalaat krne lage.

Abbu ne kaha "beta shopping ka plan to apka hi tha" ab kya hua?

Mamu ne bhi kaha "abhi nahi jaogi to kab jaogi?"

Aur fir amma ne jabardasti kari. Kyuki vo aur Sadaf kapde hamesha saath chunti hai.

Aakhir me Sadaf ki haar hui aur use jana para.

Ek achha vakt parivaar ke saath bitaane ke baad sab wapis laute.

Sham ke 5 baje the, khelne ka vakt tha, aur vakt tha balcony par jane ka. Sadaf  balcony me hi bethi thi, magar is baar usne khud ko parde se dhak liya tha. Jisse vo dikhai n de.

Aaj mijaz gumsum sa tha. Aur haath me bas ek khali coffee ka mug. 

par kyu?

Kis iraade se?

Iraada samne balcony me khade us masoom ki bechaini parakhne ka bilkul nhi tha.

Irada tha ki, use malum tha, 5 baje.. matlab football ka khelne ka vakt. Sadaf intezaar kar rahi thi uske doston ka.

sadak se kisi ki awaz ayi

"Jishaan......... Ball lekar ground pahucho"

Sadaf ke gulabi gaal, uske ansuo se gile ho gaye. Vo balcony chhod kr chali gyi.

Sadak paar, Jishaan ko kuchh samajh n aya.

Aaj vo nikli kyu nahi? Use pata tha ki Sadaf parde ke pichhe maujood thi. Par aakhir hua kya? Kahi kuchh galti hui hogi.

Jishaan kafi der tak sochta hi raha. Raat ke khane ka vakt hua. Jishaan ki ammi ne use awaz lagayi.

Jishaan dhire-dhire sidhiyon se uatar raha tha ki usne table se apni ammi ko abbu se baat krte suna.

Jishaan ki ami keh rahi thi

"Jalal sahab hai na? Unki bhatiji kitni pyaari hai, haye..... kitni masoom. Vo itna ro rahi thi jab car me bitha kr le ja rhe the use."

"Kitni jaldi bachcho ka dil lag jata hai na?.... sirf hafte bhar ke liye aayi thi bechari."

Raat ka vakt tha, mahoul bilkul shant awaz aa rhai thi sirf plate ke upar chammach chalne ki.

Jishaan ab tak khane nahi aya tha.

"Ye Jishaan.. aajkal ek bhi baat nahi sunta"

Ammi ne dobara awaj lagayi.

"Jishaan............"

Jishaan sidhiyon par baith kr apni ankhe pochhta raha.

kuchh sawalon se ghira hua, kichh jawabo se pareshan.

Use shayad ab bhi samajh na aya ho,

Sadaf ka iraada jo parde ke bahar n aa saka.

Vo to Sadaf ki kashish hi thi ki akhri kuchh palon me Sadaf ne naam janna chaha. Naam jaane bagyr agar vo chali jaati to shayad ye dhokha hota.

Sadaf ne dhokha nahi diya tha.

Par sawal ye bhi hai ki....

Ek parde ne kese roka hoga duniya ki sabse Azim taqat ko?

Baat Tazzub ki thi.

Par darasal..... Jis parde ne Sadaf ko chhipaye rakha.. vo parda khandani tha. Jiske upar usoolon ki nakashi thi. Kisiko ye nakashi dilkash lagti hai, to kisiko behad khatakti hai. Par parda to khandani hai, jaisa bhi ho, fenk nahi sakte.

Sadaf 'Saiyed' Khandaan ki thi.

Jishaan kya tha? Ye to maalum nahi. Par jo bhi tha, Saiyed nahi tha.

Sadaf parde ke is paar rehna chahti hai.

Jaha uske amma aur abbu hai. Jinse vo behad pyaar krti hai. Jinki marzi ke aage use kuchh nhi sujhta.

Aur parde ke us paar?....

Kya hai??

Jishaan ki ammi ne khana muh me rkh kar kaha..

"Sirf....... Fizul ki baaten"
