Update 65
Delhi Arrival – Early Morning at New Delhi Railway Station
Train platform number 7 par dheere dheere log utar rahe the. Station ka typical Delhi chaos — chai walon ki awaaz, porter ki cheekh, aur platform pe udti dhool — subah ke thande hawa mein ghul chuki thi.
Zaheer apne backpack ko adjust karta hua neeche utra. Pehle usne platform ke kone pe khadi Shanu ki taraf dekha… jo abhi tak apne bag ke strap ko shoulder se theek kar rahi thi, aur aankhon mein neend ka halka sa nasha tha.
Shanu
Pehli baar kisi tournament ke liye aaye ho ya Delhi ghoomne?
Zaheer (muskurakar)
Jahan tu ho, wahan har sheher ghoomne layak ban jaata hai.
Shanu ne aankh dikhayi, lekin chhup nahi pai apni hansi.
Cut to: Guest House – College Delegation Guest House near CP
Auto se safar karte hue dono thoda sa traffic mein uljhe, lekin finally ek safed, 3-storey building ke samne rukte hain jiske gate pe college ka board laga hota hai.
Reception pe formalities complete karne ke baad, ek staff unhe third floor tak chhodne aata hai. Staff delegation ke sab logon ke room alag-alag floor pe distribute kar raha hota hai.
Zaheer aur Shanu ka ek hi floor padta hai. Do alag-alag rooms, side by side.
Staff
Yeh dono keys… aapka rest kar lijiye. 11 baje quiz schedule pickup karne aana hai canteen se.
Shanu
Thanks.
Scene shift: Room interiors – Around 9:00 AM
Shanu apne bed pe baithi thi, curtain kholkar Delhi ke chaotic skyline ko dekhti hui. Usne chappal utara, bal khole… aur zameen par pair latkaakar deep breath li.
Do room door se pare… Zaheer ne apna bag bed pe patka, aur mirror ke samne jakar apne baalon mein haath phira.
Zaheer (apne aap se)
Ab yahan se sab naya start hoga. Har pal perfect hona chahiye.
Usne quickly face wash kiya, aur ek white polo aur jeans pehen kar bahar nikal gaya.
Cut to: Canteen – Ground Floor, 9:30 AM
Chhoti si canteen, college guest house ke andar hi. Ek corner table par Shanu already baithi hoti hai, ek tray mein bread omelette aur chai ke sath.
Zaheer uske samne ja baithta hai. Uska tray mein chhole bhature aur ek glass cold coffee.
Shanu (eyebrows raise karke)
Subah subah chhole bhature? Zaheer… Delhi aaye ho ya apna pet dubaane?
Zaheer
Kya karein madam, Delhi ki hawa lag gayi. Aur tu toh dekh… ek dum English breakfast…
Shanu
Tu bhi kha le… mera toast aadha tere liye.
Zaheer thoda sa jhukta hai, aur slow tone mein bolta hai…
Zaheer
Tera har cheez aadha mere liye hi toh hota ja raha hai.
Shanu ne uske aankhon mein dekha… kuch seconds tak kuch bola nahi… sirf ek half smile di. Fir spoon uthaya, uski cold coffee mein ghumaate hue bola.
Shanu
Agle kuch din ya toh hamesha yaadgar banenge… ya hamesha regretful.
Zaheer
Main guarantee deta hoon… sirf yaadgar banenge.
Light background me canteen ke spoon-plate ki awaz… dono ke beech ek comfortable silence.
[b]Afternoon – College Canteen, Same Day
[/b]
Canteen ke kone wala table, jahaan hamesha Arjun ki sitting hoti thi, aaj Ammu ne us par kabza jama rakha tha. Do plates mein half-eaten samosa, ek cold coffee aur ek chocolate shake beech mein rakha tha… dono bina kisi tension ke baith kar hansi-mazaak kar rahe the, jaise duniya ki koi fikr hi na ho.
Arjun ek loose maroon t-shirt aur light blue jeans mein usual relaxed zone mein tha… lekin aankhon mein wo spark clearly tha jo sirf Ammu ke saath hota tha.
Ammu ne ek fry uthake Arjun ke muh ke paas le jaake bola
Mujhe lagta hai main tujhe motu bana ke chhodungi
Arjun (bite lete hue, chew karta hua)
Tu toh already chhoti si chudail hai… motu boyfriend suit karega tujhe. Cartoon couple kehlayenge.
Ammu (hansi rokhti hui)
Pagal hai tu. Waise seriously… finals ke baad kya socha hai?
Arjun ne uski aankhon mein dekha… kuch second tak chup raha… fir slightly soft voice mein bola
Soch raha hoon… agar sab kuch thik raha, toh tujhe leke ek chhoti si trip pe chalun. Bas tu aur main. No Zaheer, no Shanu, no team, no planning.
Ammu
Hmmm… Goa?
Arjun
Goa nahi… Himachal. Shanti, thand aur tu. Bas.
Ammu ne table pe ungli se ek chhoti si imaginary drawing banani shuru ki.
Aur uske baad? College khatam… log job, MBA… tu kya karega?
Arjun leaned closer, serious tone mein
Jahan tu hogi, wahan mera plan bhi hoga. Career bhi, life bhi… lekin sab mein tu base ho.
Ammu ne halka sa smile diya, lekin aankhon mein wo wala glow tha jo sirf Arjun ko dekh kar aata tha.
Ammu
Mujhe darr lagta hai Arjun… sab kuch itna perfect lagta hai ab… jaise kahin se koi hila na de.
Arjun ne uska haath apne haath mein le liya, bina kisi hesitation ke
Agar koi cheez hilegi bhi, toh hum dono mil ke usse sambhalenge.
Pause. Silence. Canteen ke table par dhoop ki halki si line pad rahi thi. Students idhar udhar guzar rahe the. Lekin in dono ke beech ka moment static tha.
Arjun (softly)
Ek aur samosa le aau?
Ammu (laugh karte hue)
Tu pehle yeh khatam kar… phir Himachal ki planning karenge.
[b]Scene freeze — ek perfect balance of dosti, pyaar aur carefree youthfulness.[/b]
[b][b]Delhi Guest House – Late Morning
[/b][/b]
Guest house ke airy common hall mein ek round-table type chhoti si informal meeting ho rahi thi. Ek senior teacher they jineh Zaheer aur Shanu dono ek corner mein casually baith ke sun rahe the, table par juice ke glasses aur registration files padhe the.
Teacher ne white paper se bana schedule table ke beech rakhte hue kaha
Toh kal se quiz formally start hoga — lekin aaj se aap sabko offline presence dikhani hogi… thoda introduction, guidelines, organizers se meet-up.
Phir wo Shanu aur Zaheer ki taraf dekhtay hue slightly relax tone mein bole
Hum log wahan ek do ghante kaam nipta ke aate hain… tum dono chaho toh guest house mein rest karlo abhi. Travel kaafi lamba tha. Thoda fresh ho jao, fir shaam mein koi plan ho toh nikal jaana.
Zaheer aur Shanu — dono ne ek second ke liye ek dusre ki taraf dekha. Shanu ke lips ke kone pe ek shetani si muskurahat ubhri, aur Zaheer ki aankhon mein wo playful spark jhalka. Dono almost sync mein apni gardan halki si nod karte hai.
Shanu
Haan sir, sounds good.
Zaheer
Hum rest kar lete hain thoda… aap log aaram se jaiye.
Staff ke log uth kar chale jaate hain… room ka door band hota hai… aur ek second ka khamos moment beech mein chhuta rehta hai.
Phir Shanu khadi hoti hai, apne kurte ke pocket se chhoti si toffee nikal kar zaheer ke sar par fakekti hai
Rest karega tu ? Chal uth sale "Delhi Darshan"?
Zaheer
Hum rest tab karenge jab thak jaayenge… chal na, aaj pura din hamara hai.
Shanu
Metro? Ya auto? Ya seedha seedha pair?
Zaheer
Metro. Window ke paas tu baithna… selfie bhi leni hai.
Shanu chuckle karte hue apne bag se sunglasses nikaalti hai
Tu itna filmy kyun hai?
Zaheer
Kyunki tu meri heroine hai.
[b]Aur scene shift hota hai — camera zoom out karta hai guest house ke upar se, Delhi ka naya din dono ke naam likhne nikal chuka hota hai…[/b]
[b][b]College Gate ke Bahar Afternoon
[/b][/b]
Aaj ka last lecture khatam ho chuka tha. College ke lawn se nikalti students ki bheed dheere dheere chhanti ja rahi thi. Gate ke bahar chalte auto-rickshaw, thake hue chehre, aur taxi drivers ki awaaz sab kuch ek routine jaisa lag raha tha.
Ammu apni notebook haath mein liye, ek halki si smile ke saath taxi stand ke paas khadi thi. Dupatta shoulder se phisal kar ek taraf latak gaya tha, lekin uska dhyaan kahin aur tha. Jaise hi usne bag ki zip band ki…
Vrroooommm
Ek jaani-pehchaani bike uske bilkul saamne aake ruki. Helmet ke neeche se ek pair mischievous aankhon ne use dekha…
Arjun.
Helmet uthakar handle pe latka diya… ek shararati si muskan ke saath aankhon se pucha — chalein?
Ammu ne thoda nakhra dikhaya, jaise thoda soch rahi ho… lekin phir dheere se smile karte hue uski bike ke peechhe baith gayi. Arjun ne throttle ghumaya… aur dono galiyon se guzarne lage.
Bike ke chalne ki awaaz ke beech dono ka ek alag hi conversation chal raha tha… halki hansi, chhed-chhad, aur wo comfort jo sirf apnaapan laata hai.
Arjun
To… aaj raat ko tu kitne baje free ho rahi hai
Ammu thoda chonk kar
Kyu?
Arjun thoda flirt karte hue
Bas soch raha tha… jab tak tera chomu bhai nahi hai… main thoda aur waqt tere saath bita lu.
Ammu ne zara ghoor ke dekha…
Acha? Aur main koi plan bana lu to?
Arjun
Main bhi hoon na… plan ban jaayega.
Bike ek sharp turn leti hai, aur Arjun rearview mirror mein uski aankhon ko pakadne ki koshish karta hai…
Unka eye contact mirror ke beech se milta hai — halki si sharm aur ek deep connection… jo shabdon se pare hota hai.
Gali ke end mein bike rukti hai. Ammu utarti hai… lekin jaane se pehle ek pal ke liye rukti hai, peeche mud kar dekhti hai.
Arjun still usi style mein baitha, ek halka sa smile deta hai.
Ammu us muskurahat ka jawab ek aur muskurahat se deti hai… aur phir dupatta thoda theek karte hue aage badh jaati hai.
Pass hi chai ki tapri ke paas baitha kaka — apna glass saaf karte hue aankhon se Arjun ki taraf ishara karta hai.
Bina kuch kahe, aankhon se bolta hai —
Wah bhai… kya ladki patayi hai.
[b]Arjun bas muskurata hai… aur handle par haath maar ke, seedha usi direction me dekhta rehta hai jahan Ammu gayi thi.[/b]
