Update 64
Us Raat Ki Chhat — Zaheer Ke Bina Ek Khula Aasmaan
Zaheer ab Delhi ki train me tha. Uska chehra Shanu ke kandhe par tha. Lekin pink City Jaipur ke us purane ghar ke chhat par us raat ek aur duniya bichi thi — ek aisi duniya jahan ab koi deewar nahi thi, koi dar nahi, koi roknay wala nahi.
Arjun apni maroon hoodie me tha, lekin sleeves thodi rolled-up thi. Neeche ek purana woolen carpet bicha tha, aur uspar wo aaram se baitha tha — dono pair fold kiye, peeche haath se sahara liya hua.
Ammu uske lap me sir rakhe let gayi thi, ek dum bindas. Uska dupatta dheere se ek taraf khisak gaya tha, lekin is baar usne theek nahi kiya. Arjun uske baalon me ungliyaan chala raha tha — dheere dheere, raat ke rhythm ke sath.
Chhat par wohi purana steel ka jhoola, ek kone me rakha tha. Dhoop ke rang chhup chuke the. Ab sirf taare the, ek aisi raat jahan chand bhi jalne se inkar kar raha tha, shayad unn dono ki roshni ke aage.
Ammu
Yeh pehli baar hai jab tu aise khula khula lag raha hai… bina chhupaye, bina dare.
Arjun
Kyoki pehli baar main tujhe bina kisi jaankari, bina kisi planning ke… sirf tere liye jee raha hoon.
Ammu thoda muskurayi, uski aankhen band thi, lekin har lafz mehsoos ho raha tha. Usne haath uthakar Arjun ke haath ko apne cheek ke paas kheench liya.
Arjun
Main sochta hoon kabhi kabhi… agar pehle aise milte college time me ya… maybe jab tu chhoti thi aur main bhi…
Ammu
To?
Arjun
To main tujhe har raat aise hi chhat pe le aata… har taare ke neeche apna ek raaz likhte.
Ammu
Acha? Fir kaunsa taara hota humara?
Arjun apna haath uski taraf le jaata hai, aasman ki taraf point karta hai
Arjun
Woh wala… jo sabse zyada chamak raha hai. Kyoki tu hai, main hoon… aur kuch bhi beech me nahi hai.
Ammu aankhen khol kar dekhti hai — aasman me ek bright sa star. Uski smile badh jaati hai. Arjun uska forehead softly kiss karta hai, uske baal uske chehre pe gir jaate hain.
Ammu
Arjun…
Arjun
Hmm?
Ammu
Agar main kabhi bhi chhup jaaun, ya gusse me kuch bhi ulta seedha bol doon… to bhi tu mujhe wapas le aayega na?
Arjun
Main tujhe kahin jaane hi nahi dunga. Tu meri hai… bina condition, bina expiry date.
Ammu ka haath ab Arjun ke hoodie ke andar jaata hai, uske dil ke paas rukh kar ruk jaata hai. Arjun uske haath par apni ungliyan phir se rakhta hai, uske touch ko mehsoos karta hai.
Arjun
Tu yahan rahi na… to kal se subah uthte hi chai banake tujhse baat karunga. Aur raat ko neend se pehle yeh poochhunga… Ammu, aaj tujhe kis baat pe sabse zyada pyaar mila mujhse?
Ammu
Aur main kahungi… jab tune kuch nahi bola, bas meri aankhon me dekhta raha.
Dono ki baatein ruk jaati hain. Sirf silence. Us silence me ek intimacy thi, ek belonging thi.
Arjun uske cheek pe halka sa kiss karta hai, phir uske kaan ke paas jaa ke dheere se bolta hai
Arjun
Kabhi kabhi darr lagta hai… itna pyaar deke tu mujhe kahin tod na de.
Ammu aankhen kholti hai, uski taraf dekhte hue
Ammu
Aur mujhe darr lagta hai… ke itna pyaar paake main kahin khud ko na kho baithun.
Dono ek dusre ke haath aur zyada mazbooti se thaam lete hain. Aasman ke taare aaj raat unke rishte ke gawaah hain.
Us raat chhat par sirf do log nahi the — wahan do dil the, jo pehli baar poori duniya ke samne, bina kisi rok ke… ek doosre se keh rahe the:
Hum apne ho chuke hain.
Ammu room – Late Night
Arjun aur Ammu – ek blanket ke andar, ek doosre ke kareeb
Neeche wale floor se sab lights band ho chuki thi. Ghar mein sirf halki se ceiling fan ki ghanti si awaaz thi…
Room mein ek mattress tha, ek low side lamp aur ek single shelf.
Ammu usi blanket mein lapet ke baithi thi, Arjun ne door quietly band kiya aur uske paas aake baith gaya. Uske baalon mein thandi thandi hawa se halki si mahek thi… jaise raat ne usse apne saath lapet liya ho.
Ammu ne Arjun ki taraf dekha, aur bina kuch bole, apne haath uske chehre par le jaake uske cheek ko softly chhua.
Ammu
Tu pata hai na… is waqt main sirf tere saath hoon. Duniya se zyada… tu mera ghar hai.
Arjun uske paas aur kareeb aaya, blanket uske shoulders tak khinch kar le aaya. Fir uska haath pakad kar usse mattress pe le aaya. Ammu Arjun ki taraf back kar ke leti thi, aur Arjun uske peechhe side me aake cuddle karta gaya… dono ek hi rhythm me, ek hi heartbeat ke saath…
Arjun ne apni arm uske waist pe rakhi, aur uska face uske baalon ke andar gently chhupa diya.
Arjun (slow whisper me)
Main kabhi kahin nahi jaa raha, Ammu.
Ammu ne apne haath se Arjun ke haath pe tight grip liya. Unki ungliyaan interlock ho chuki thi… jaise dono apne apne lamhon ko seal kar rahe ho…
Ammu thoda turn hui… ab woh face to face thi Arjun ke saath. Unka distance sirf ek saans jitna tha.
Ammu
Tu sirf mera hai na?
Arjun ne uska cheek cup kiya, aur uske lips pe ek soft, slow kiss diya… no rush, no drama… bas pyaar jo andar se ubal raha tha, usko ek chaand ki roshni jaisa expression diya jaa raha tha.
Dono ke saans ek doosre ke skin par lag rahe the. Ammu ne apna head Arjun ke chest par rakha… uske dil ki dhadkane ginti chali gayi…
Ammu
Tera dil… bahut loud dhadakta hai jab main tere paas hoti hoon…
Arjun (halki si muskaan ke saath)
Kyunki tu jab paas hoti hai… toh main zinda mehsoos karta hoon…
Blanket ke andar unka temperature badhta gaya… lekin comfort usse bhi zyada gehra tha. Arjun ne uske forehead pe baar baar chhoti chhoti kisses diye… Ammu ne uski shirt ke andar apne fingers se halka sa rub kiya… not in desire, but in connection.
Raat ke woh pal… kisi secret diary ke hidden page jaise the —
Jahan koi lights nahi thi, sirf ehsaas tha.
Koi zabaan nahi thi, sirf silences the.
Koi hadd nahi thi, sirf pyaar tha
Late Night – Moving Train | Sleeper Coach
Gehri raat thi. Train apne full speed mein shor machaye ja rahi thi, lekin coach ke andar ek ajeeb si shaanti thi. Sari berth par log so chuke the. Light band ho chuki thi, sirf kahin kahin emergency lamp ki halki si orange roshni pad rahi thi.
Zaheer ki aankh achanak khuli. Uska haath apni side ki khali jagah ko tapak gaya… lekin Shanu wahan nahi thi.
Usne turant uth kar idhar-udhar dekha… pichli seaton mein, upar ki berth pe… washroom tak glance maara… lekin Shanu ka kahin naam-o-nishaan nahi.
Ek instant ghabrahat ne uska dil chhoti si dhadakne mein convert kar diya.
Zaheer ne chappal pehni, blanket hata ke quietly aage ke taraf badhne laga… har kadam ke saath dil thoda aur tez dhadak raha tha.
Fir aage coach ke darwaze ke paas usne dekha…
Shanu, khidki ke pass khadi thi. Ek haath se metallic handle pakda tha, aur doosra haath open window ke bahar… thandi hawa uske baalon ko uda rahi thi. Raat ke 2:40 ho rahe the… aur wo deep thoughts me, train ki rawani se baatein kar rahi thi.
Zaheer (whispering mein, irritate hoke)
Tu pagal hai kya? Time dekha hai? Yahan kya kar rahi hai?
Shanu ne slowly uski taraf dekha… aankhon mein thodi si nami thi, lekin chehre pe ek soft muskaan bhi.
Shanu
Bas… kuch pal apne saath chahiye the.
Akele… kisi se kuch kahe bina… kisi se kuch sune bina…
Zaheer uske paas aaya, lekin is baar narazgi thodi kam thi… ek subtle concern tha.
Zaheer
Tu bata toh deti… aankh khuli toh laga kahin gir gayi… ya coach change kar diya.
Shanu ne thoda jhuk kar apna sir uske chest se laga diya… aur dheere se apne haath uske neck ke around wrap kar diye.
Shanu (slow whisper)
Main kahin nahi jaa rahi Zaheer.
Bas kabhi kabhi dil chahta hai… main kisi ke word bank nahi, bas ek khuli kitab ban jaun… jo tu bina bole padh le.
Zaheer ne uski kamar ko apne dono haathon se hold kar liya… uska saans uske kaan ke paas lag raha tha… dono ke beech ki silence mein sirf train ke wheels ka rhythm baja raha tha.
Zaheer
Tujhe kya lagta hai, main tujhe nahi padh sakta?
Shanu
Tujhe lagta hai tu padhta hai, par tu sirf cover page dekh ke soch leta hai main strong hoon… par kabhi kabhi mujhe sirf yeh kehne ka mann karta hai ki…
(pause)
Shanu
Mujhe tera shoulder chahiye. Sirf ek jagah jahan main gir bhi jaun, toh mujhe sambhalne ke liye koi ho.
Zaheer ka throat thoda tight ho gaya… usne Shanu ko aur kareeb kheench liya… aur fir halka sa uske baalon me face chhupa diya.
Shanu ne halka sa uth kar uski aankhon me dekha… ek intense, unsaid language thi dono ke beech.
Phir Shanu ne low tone me kaha…
Shanu
Agar main kabhi toot gayi, toh please mujhe jodne mat aana…
Bas mere paas baith jaana. Tere hone se main khud jod jaungi.
Zaheer ka expression soft se emotional ho gaya. Usne slowly apna forehead uske forehead se mila diya… aur kuch pal uske close aankhon me dekh kar, uske lips pe ek slow, tender kiss diya… ek aisi kiss jisme waqt ka har second theher gaya tha… or camera zoom out or chand ki roshni me sirf dono ka silhouette kiss karte huye dip tounge to tounge kiss...
Thandi hawa, raat ka safar… aur do dil, ek doosre me lapet kar, chal rahe the… Delhi ki taraf —
Lekin unka destination ek doosre ke [i]andar tha.[/i]
Subah – Ammu ke ghar ka terrace room
Paas hi ki maszid se wo aawaz jispe Ammu roj uthti hai. Sheher abhi poori tarah jaga nahi tha, lekin uss kamre mein ek nayi subah ka asar mehsoos ho raha tha — khidki ke parde hil rahe the, halki si hawa chahal-pahal karti thi, aur terrace se ek thandi roshni andar aa rahi thi.
Ammu ki aankhein dheere se khuli.
Usne palak jhapkakar apne aas paas dekha… aur uska haath naturally uss jagah gaya jahan Arjun thodi der pehle tha.
Wahan ab sirf ek halka sa karvat lene ki silvat thi… ek garmahat ka naam-o-nishaan tak nahi tha. Arjun ja chuka tha.
Ammu ne apna sir thoda uthakar dekha… room mein ab sirf woh thi, aur subah ki wo halka sa guilt mixed warmth jisme raat ka har pal lipta hua tha.
Usne apne kandhe par dekha uska bra strap dikh raha tha or uska kamiz off shoulder ho chuka tha usne slip karta hua kameez ka pallu khinch kar theek kiya. Pal bhar ko aankhein band ki… aur raat ki yaadein uske mann ke parde pe baarish ki boondon ki tarah tapakne lagi…
Flashback (raat ka):
Arjun carpet par baitha tha, Ammu uski god mein sir rakhe leti thi.
Uske haath softly Ammu ke baalon se khelte ja rahe the… kabhi strands ko behind tuck karta, kabhi uske kaan ke peeche chhupa deta.
Arjun
Jab tu itni paas hoti hai na… mujhe lagta hai duniya mein koi jung ladne ki zarurat nahi…
Ammu ne uski wrist ko pakda, aur cheek se ragar ke bola.
Ammu
Aur jab tu mujhse door hota hai… toh lagta hai main hi haar jaungi…
Arjun ne uske cheek pe ek soft kiss diya… then her nose… then her eyelid.
Pehle raat ki thandi hawa thi… fir carpet ke upar ek extra razai… phir dono ek dusre ke bahon mein…
Ammu ne apna haath Arjun ke chest ke andar slip kar diya tha, cheek uske collarbone se chipka diya tha.
Ammu (soft whisper)
Arjun… mujhe aaj sab kuch sach jaisa laga. Tere honthon se nikalta har lafz, tere haathon ki har sparsh…
Arjun
Woh sab sach tha… aur yeh bhi sach hai ki main sirf tera hoon.
Dono ek dusre ke itne kareeb ho gaye the ki unke beech mein sirf saans aur silence reh gaya tha… raat bhar cuddle, kisses… cheek pe, neck pe, forehead pe…
Present moment:
Ammu ka haath abhi bhi usi jagah gaya, jahan Arjun ne raat bhar uska haath thaame rakha tha.
Usne dheere se apni aankhein kholi… kuch waqt khamoshi mein guzara. Phir thoda sa muskuraayi… thoda sa blush kiya… aur phir thoda sa guilty innocent look apne chehre par liya.
She got up slowly, apni tangled zulfein open karke peeche ki… ek baar phir kandhe se kameez theek ki, mirror mein apne aap ko dekha…
Aur Arjun ki ek line yaad aayi jo raat ko usne kaha tha —
"Tu meri Ammu nahi lagti… tu meri saans lagti hai."
Ammu ne aankhon band karke apni cheek ko uss mirror ke glass se halka sa touch kiya… jaise uska reflection usse hug de raha ho.
Scene fades.
