Us samay main 16 saal ki thi, aur 10th mein padth rahi thi. Hum logo ka co-ed school tha, jisme meri colony ke kuch bacche bhi the. Kuch mere saath 10th mein bhi padhte the, aur aapas mein hum logo ki baate hoti rehti thi. Lekin hum bhi bacche, man ke sacche the. Dil me koi khot nahi, na ye pata tha ki, ladke aur ladki ke beech kya rishta ho sakta hai.

Meri hi colony ka ek ladka jo mujhse 2 saal bada tha, aur ek baar 10th mein fail bhi ho chuka tha, hamesha meri aur dekhta rehta tha. Maine kai baar apni karibi saheli se uske baare me kaha to, meri saheli ne bhi chutki li aur boli ki, shayad wo ladka tujhe pyar karta hai. Maine apni saheli ko ansuna kar diya aur apni padhai mein hi vyast rahi.

Shaam ko main colony mein apni saheliyo ke saath khelti, ghoomti, masti karti aur gup-shup maarti. Wo ladka bhi apne dosto ke saath park mein aata aur meri hi aur dekhta rehta tha. Waise main dekhne mein jyada sundar nahi thi, lekin theek thaak thi. Main 5 feet 4 inch lambi, saavli, patli aur athletic built ki ladki thi. Padhai mein bhi acche the. Isliye padossi bhi mujse khush the. Kyunki padosiyo se bhi milna julna rehta hi tha.

Ab dheere dheere us ladke ne apne dosto ke jariye hum ladkiyo se baat karna shuru kiya. Baat karne me mujhe wo ladka theek hi laga. Aur dheere dheere ab hum dono ke beech baatcheet bhi shuru ho gayee. Hum dono ab shaam ko saath saath ghoomte aur gaape maarte. Us ladke ki aankho me ek nasha sa tha. Jise main aaj mehsoos kar sakti hoon. Us samay umar nadaan thi.

Ek shaam hum log park mein khel rahe the, thandiyo ka samya tha aur 6 bajne wale the. Andhera hone laga tha aur main apni saheliyo aur ladko ke saath khel rahi thi ki, bhaagte bhaagte us ladke ne mujhe peeche se pakad liya aur bola ki ab kabhi nahi chodugaa. Maine use majaak me liya, aur apne aap ko jhatka dekar, usse chudakar bhaag gayee. Us din mujhe us ladke ki aankho me ek pyar dikhayee diya, aur main us raat so nahi paaye.

Agle din phir main shaam ko apni saheliyo aur un ladko ke saath khel rahi thi, lekin aaj mujhe wo ladka nahi dikhayee diya. Main pareshaan ho gayee, maine apni karibi sahili se us ladke ke baare mein poocha, to usne bataya ki, wo kisi kaam se gaya hua hai aur aa jayegaa. Main ander hi ander pareshaan thi. Aaj phir shaam ka 6 baja aur hum sabhi khel rahe the, khelte khelte main park ke kone me chali gayee aur achanak, kisi ne mujhe peeche se pakad liya. Main darr gayee aur jor se chikhi, peeche mudi to mere chehre per ek khushi thi.

Us ladke ne mujhe peeche se pakda tha. Shaam ke andhere ka fayda utha kar wo muje ek ped ke peeche le gaya, aur apne hoth mere hoth per rakhkar bola ki mein tumse pyar karta hoon. Aaj mujhe park mein na dekhkar maine tumhaare chehre ke haavbhaav padh liye the. Main sharma gayee. Wo mujhe choomta raha. Mujhe bhi maja aa raha tha. Maine us ladke ko uski kamar se pakda. Mujhe na jaane kya ho raha tha. Aaj main sab kuch bhoolkar us ladke se alag nahi hona chahti thi.

Us ladke ne mujhe us din pehli baar chua, aur mere ander soi huye meri kamukta ko ujagar kiya. Main pagal ho rahi thi. Wo bhi shayad pagal ho chuka tha. Tabhi meri saheliyo ki awaaz ne hum dono ko, ek doosre se alag kiya, aur phir main apni saheliyo ke saath wapas aa gayee.

Iske baad dheere dheere main us ladke se mili aur hum dono ke beech pyar badhta chala gaya. Aur dhere dhere humaare ghar walo ko bhi iska pata chal gaya. Hum dono ek doosre ke contact me rahe, aur 8 saal baad jab us ladke ki, ek private company me ek acche pad per naukri lagi, to hum dono ne shaadi kar li. Wo ladka aaj mera pati hai, aur hum dono ek sukh ki zindagi bita rahe hain.
