chapter: 4 what was the truth

Nayra ke sare dost car mein baith jaate hain Abhi ko chod kar, vo un sbko jane ke liye kehta hai....

Thodi der baatien karke vo sab chale jate hain.. fir Nayra poochti hai ke tum kyu nhi gye??

Abhi aise hi bol deta hai ke aaj boht samay baad iss jagah par aaya hoon toh jane ka mann nhi kar rha...

Vo dono achanak se chup ho jaate hain.. jaise ek-doosre ke mann ko padhne ki koshish kar rhe hon..

Abhi: ek round lgakar aayein... mujhe vo jungle ke beech vali jheel dekhne ka boht mann kar rha hai..

Thoda sochne ke baad Nayra maan jati hai.. aur fir vo dono chalna shuru kar dete hain..

Vo dono aise hi chalte chalte jheel ke paas pauhnch jate hain... wahan par raat ke samay boht sare jugnoo hote hain... Abhi ko unhein dekh kar boht khushi milti hai, pani boht saaf tha... Abhi bina kuch soche jheel ke andar khada ho jata hai.. aur paani boht thnda tha... vo Nayra ko bhi paas bulata hai.. par vo manaa kar deti hai.. aur Abhi aasmaan mein dekhne lag jata hai...

Abhi: Dekho Nayra aaj aasmaan mein chaand nhi hai...

Nayra bhi aasmaan ko dekhti hai.. aur kehti hai.. nhi aasmaan mein chaand aaj bhi hai par aaj uska rang poora kaala ho gya hai.. iss liye nhi dikh rha..

Abhi: ( khush hote huye) ohhhh mtlb aaj black moon hai...

Nayra: (thoda muskura kar) han

Vaise shukriya..aaj tumne meri boht badi help ki hai... agr tumhe kabhi meri help chahiye ho toh batana...

Abhi: (haste huye) nah!!! Aisa tum sochti ho... is Insaano ki duniya mein ek vampire hi doosre vampire ke kaam aata hai...

Par tum yeh batao?? Tum itna jaati kahan ho?? Ke tumahare gharwale itna peeche pade huye hain???

Nayra: nhi aise toh jada kahin nhi, bas ghar pe rehna acha nhi lagta iss liye.. kahin bhi chali jati hoon..

Abhi: aur tumne koi college kyu ni join kiya?? Kar leti!!! Ache din guzarte...

Mujhe hi dekh lo 4th time graduate ho rha hoon..

Nayra yeh sun kar hasne lg jati hai..

Aur kehti hai.. acha!!! Toh iss liye "tumahare itne ache insaani dost ban gye"

Abhi: han shyed!!! Yeh sab boht ache hain.. college mein bas mann lga rehta hai.. inki wajah se..

Tum bhi aana kabhi..

Nayra: han agar kabhi mann huya toh... par aaj ke liye sach mein thank you.. agar tum wahan bus mein na milte toh pta nhi aaj kya hota...

Abhi bas ek halki c smile krke kehta hai... by the way.. Nayra tum toh God gifted ho...

Bande ko dekh ke hi pta kar leti ho ke vo vampire hai.....

Varna aaj main tumhe insaan samjh kar pataane ki soch rha tha...

Nayra: (thoda sa muskurate huye) han!! Sab yhi kehte hain.. ke main God gifted hoon.. Abhi usse kehta hai. mtlb fir tumahari raftaar boht tez hogi???

Par tumhe main bhi bta deta hoon meri special quality bhi yhi hai... ke main boht tez (दौड़) sakta hoon...

Nayra aaj ache mood mein thi, iss liye vo kissi se itni baatien kar rhi thi.. varna Nayra toh jada khud mein hi rehti thi..

Abhi ki baat sun kar Nayra usse bolti hai.. "kyu na ek race ho jaye"???

Abhi: (thoda mood bnate huye) han!! Chalo, dekh lete hain.. kaun jada tez hai....

Fir vo jheel ke pani se bahar aa jata hai... aur vo dono tyar ho jate hain...

Aim tha: iss jungle ki pehli seema jahan khatam hoti hai.

Aur iss waqt vo jungle ke beech khade the.. mtlb iss Jungle ke ending point takk jana tha...

1..2..3..

Aur vo dono boht tezi se bhaagne lgte hain...

Nayra (पेड़ो) ko zariya bnati hai.. toh Abhi zameen ke raaste hi bhaagta hai.. par baat toh sahi thi Nayra sach mein God gifted thi... vo Abhi se jada tez thi..

Nayra, Abhi ko peeche dekh kar khush hoti hi hai ke jab vo aage dekhti hai toh uske saamne vale ped (पेड़) par ek ladka khada tha... vo jaise koodne lgti hai.. toh usse achanak se saamne dekh kar uska santulan bigad jata hai aur vo neeche gir jati hai.... itne mein vahan se Abhi usse dekh kar hasta huya aage nikal jata hai...

Nayra khadi hokar fir bhaagne hi lagti hai... ke vhi ladka dubara uske saamne aa jata hai..

Nayra uses side par hone ko kehti hai.. par vo nhi hota.. Nayra ko abhi usse ladne ka mann nhi tha toh vo jaldi ke chakkar mein dubara pedon ke ooper bhaagna shuru kar deti hai... uss ladke ko peeche hi chod jati hai ... par mann hi mann vo sochti hai.. ke 'yeh kaun tha?? Iss jungle ka toh lg nhi rha tha.. aur mere raaste mein kyu aaya??

Itne mein vo ending point par pauhnch jati hai.. par Abhi usse 3 second se jeet jata hai..

Nayra ko boht gussa aata hai.. kyon ke usse haarna acha nhi lagta.. aaj vo ek ladke ki wajah se haar jati hai...

Abhi: (jeet ki khushi mein) tum God gifted toh ho... par mujhse tez nhi ho sakti ...

Nayra koi jwaab nhi deti..

Achanak Abhi ki nazar jungle ke ending point par lagi lohe ki taar par padti hai.. aur vo bolta hai... "ye abhi bhi yhi lagi huyi hai?"

Nayra ko kuch samjh nhi aata aur vo poochti hai "kya mtlb?"

Abhi: yeh lohe ki taar!!! Ab toh 27 saal ho gye uss baat ko.... ab tk toh bhool jani chahiye thi...

Nayra: tumhe pta hai?? Yeh kyu lgayi gyi thi??

Abhi: han!!! Main tab yhi toh rehta tha..

Nayra : toh mujhe bhi batao na... mera boht mann karta hai iss taar ke aage jane ka... par koi jane nhi deta... kehte hain ke yeh shaapit hai..

Abhi: arre aisa kuch nhi hai.. bas apne jungle ke vampires ki yeh taar vale jungle ke vampires ke sath ladayi ho gyi thi... aur yeh hamare dushman ban gye the fir boht khoon-kharaabe ke baad faisla huya.. apne Jungle vale vampire yeh vale jungle mein nhi jayenge.. aur udhar bhi yhi faisla huya tha.. bas tab se ye lohe ki taar lga di thi... aur is par koi black magic vgera kiya tha ... jo bhi isse ab par krega.. uss ko toh marna hoga..

Nayra: ladayi kyu huyi thi???

Abhi :(shock mein) tumhe nhi pta??? Tum isi jungle ki ho... tumahare ghar walon ne tumhe kyu nhi bataya??

Nayra: pta nhi.... maine boht baar jaan-ne ki koshish ki.. par koi batata hi nhi... bas gussa dikhate rehte hain...

Abhi: koi ni chal main bta doonga... par abhi nhi.. mujhe ab jana hoga.. insaani khana toh bakwaas lagta hai.. midnight go gyi hai... aur aaj asmaan mein moon bhi black hai.. toh mtlb shikaar mushkil se milega... mujhe abhi jana hoga.. bhookh lag rhi hai...

Nayra: ( haste huye) tum insaano ka khoon nhi Peete??

Abhi: (khush hote huye) nhi !!! Peeta...

Unke hi beech mein rehna hai toh unhein kyu bemaut maaroon....

Aise hi sahi chl rha hai...

Nayra: theek hai firr jaisa tumhe sahi lge..

kall milen??? Story ke liye..

Abhi: nhi parso..

Nayra haan bol deti hai..

Aur abhi wahan se chala jata hai..

Nayra Wahin pe khadi hokar saamne vale jungle ko dekhne lag jati hai..

Vo aksar hi yahan aa jati thi.. par kabhi uss paar nhi gyi thi...

Nayra hamesha hairaan rehti thi ... jab bhi vo iss jungle ko dekhti thi.. toh usse kabhi kuch nhi dikhayi deta siwaye iss lohe ki taar ke... kyon ke uss jungle mein hamesha kohra jmaa rehta tha... jo garmi ke mausam mein bhi nhi jaata tha....

Toh koi bhi jungle vala lohe ki taar ke paar kuch nhi dekh pata tha.. yeh bhi ek black magic tha..

Nayra bhi bachpan se yhi sochti thi ke uske gharwale iss bare mein kyu nhi batate??

Par aaj vo khush thi.. kyon ke ab Abhi usse sab bataa dega..

Nayra ko wahan khade kafi der ho gyi thi... aur taar vale jungle se wolves ki awaazien bhi aane lag gyi thi toh Nayra ab wahan se jane ka sochti hai... Aur jaise hi vo peeche mudne lagti hai toh usse lagta hai jaise abhi usne kisi ko taar ke paas khade huye dekha... jaise hi vo dubara taar ki taraf dekhti hai.. toh wahan ek ladka... kohre ki or badhta dikhayi diya.. Nayra usse awaaz bhi deti hai par vo peeche ki taraf dekhta hi nhi.. aur uss kohre mein hi gayab ho jata hai...

Nayra ne aaj pehli baar uss paar kisi ko dekha tha...
