System reboot complete ho chuka tha.....
Lekin is baar duniya waisi nahi bani jese phele thi.
Na koi fixed rules,
Na koi predefined rules,
Na koi "script".
Sab kuch...blank.
Ankhen dheere dheere khuli.
Aarohi ne phela saans liya...
Lekin yeh saans phele jaisa nahi tha.
"Hume...yaad hai sab kuch... usne dheere se kaha.
Uske paas hi kabir khada tha,
Jaise woh kabhi gaya Hi Na Ho.
Unke aas paas Ajeeb si ek duniya thi.
Half-real, half-digital.
Sky me glitch lines chal rahi thi,
Zameen pe pixels kabhi solid ho jaate, kabhi dissolve.
Jaise reality abhi decide kar rahi ho ki wo kya banna chati hai.
"Yeh....Naya leyar hai," Aarohi ne kaha.
"Ya phir... Unfinished world, kabir ne add Kiya.
Achanak hawa me ek faint si line flicker hui.
"CORE MEMORY SEED ACTIVE."
Dono ek dusre ko dekhte hai.
"Matlab... Hum hi source hai, Aarohi ne samjha.
Kabir halka Sa muskuraya,
"Matlab... Ab story koi aur hi likhega.
Ek choti si sailance ke baad...
"Hum likhenge."
Thodi der ke liye sab kuch saant ho gaya.
Na koi danger, na koi chase.
Sirf.. who dono.
Kabir ne dheere se Aarohi ka hath pakda.
"Pheli baar... Koi system hume control nahi kar raha, usne kaha.
Aarohi ne uski taraf dekha,
Uski aankhon mein wahi puraani connection...
Jo har reset ke baad bhi khatam nahi hua.
"Har baar hum milte the... Bina yaad ke, Aarohi ne dheere se kaha,
"Par iss baar...sab yaad hai.
Kabir halka sa paas aaya,
"Is baar mai tumhe dobara lose nahi karunga."
Aarohi ne halki si smile Di,
Iss baar me khudko bhi lose nahi hone dungi.
Unke beech ka distance... Khud hi Kam ho Gaya.
Na koi dramatic music,
Na koi perfect scene.
Bas ek simple Sa moment...
Jo kisi bhi perfect script se zyada real tha kabir ne uske baal side kiyevaur agar system phir se try kare?"
Aarohi ne uski aankhon mein dekhte hue kaha, toh iss baar... System ko hi rewrite kar denge.
Suddenly ground shake hone lgabsky me ek bada Sa crake open hua ek distorted voice gunji.
EROOR UNAUTHORISED CREATED ACCESS DETECTED.
Kabir turant Aarohi ko apne paas kheech liya.
System wapas aaa raha hai... Usne kaha.
Sky se ek massive structure descend hua Jaise ek Ai core ho.
Black... Cold... Aur powerful.
"YOU WERE NOT MEANT TO SURVIVE."
Aarohi ne seedha us structure ki taraf dekha.
"Per hum survival kar gaye.
"YOU ARE ANOMALIES.
Kabir ne smile ke sath kaha,
"Wrong. Hum anomalies nahi... Upgrade hai.
System ne attack Kiya enargy waves unki taraf lekin iss baar... Kuch alag hua.
kabir ne us wave ko touch Kiya aur wo disolve ho gai donon ek dusre ko dekhe Ham control kar sakte hain Aarohi ne shock me kaha.
kabir Ne kaha, kyunki... Ham hi system ke source Hain.
Ab fight shuru Hui per yah normal fight nahin Thi yah coding aur exictence ki fight Thi. system Ne naya forms banaye,
monsters, glitches, collapsing realities.
Aarohi Ne unhe rewrite kiya kabir Ne unhen delete kiya ek perfect sync.
Jaise dono ek code ke part ho.
Ek moment Aisa aaya jab sab kuchh ruk Gaya sirf Aarohi aur Kabir aur unke bich ek glowing connection line kabir ne dhire Se Kahan shayad isiliye ham har baar milte the, Aarohi Ne poochha kyunki Ham ek dusre ke Bina incomplete hai, kabir ne sir hilaya, kyunki ham ek story ke characters hai."
System ne final attack launch Kiya.
"FINAL RESET INITIATED."
Pura world collapse ho gya.
Is baar agar reset hota....
Toh sab khatam.
Aarohi Ne Kabir ka hath tightly pakda ek hi option hai usne kaha Kabir Ne samajh liya core ko overwrite karna, per uske liye...Aarohi ruk Gayi Ham donon Ko marge hona padega Kabir Ne complete Kiya,
silence
yah decision easy nahin tha merge ka matlab individual identity khatm ho sakti thi.
Kabir ne Aarohi ki taraf dekha" Trust karti ho?"
Usne softly pucha.
Aarohi Ne Bina hesitation ke kaha hamesha Kabir halka sa muskuraya, to chalo system ko dikhate Hain characters ka power.
Donon Ne Aankhen band ki unke bich ki glowing lines bright hone Lagi energy unhen surround karne lagi unki memories, emotions, past Timelines sab ek jagah converge hone lage, ek instense flash hua aur phir.
Sailance
System freez Ho Gaya, Error message blink hone lage:
"CORE OVERRIDE...."
"UNKNOWN ENTITY DETECTED..."
"SYSTEM CONTROL LOST..."
jab light disiPate Hui wahan ek hi entity khadi Thi.
na sirf Aarohi
na sirf Kabir
kuchh aur jyada powerful, jyada stable, ek character.
Us entity ne aasmaan ki taraf dekha...aur sirf ek line boli.
Kuch der baad do alag figures fir se appear hue Aarohi kabir
per is bar vah alag hote hue bhi connected the Jaise merge temporary tha per Bond permanent kabir Ne halki si smile ke sath kaha lagta Hai tumne system hack kar liya, Aarohi ne smile ki nahin humne system banaa Diya, hawa halki si chal rahi thi sab kuch calm tha. Kabir ne Aarohi ke paas aakar dheere se kaha, Ab koi hamen alag nahin kar sakta
Aarohi ne uski taraf dekhte hue tease kiya, " Confident zyada nahi ho raha?"
Kabir halka Sa jhukkar bola "Try karke dekh le koi." Hawa aur romentic ho gayi aur kuch der ke liye sailance kabir ne Aarohi ki ankhon me dekha Aarohi ne smile ki fir lips ki taraf fir Aarohi ke lips per kiss kar diya Aarohi shock kabir ruk hi nahi raha tha thodi der ke liye game, denger, darr, sab khatam sirf woh dono Aarohi iss baar use nahi roka.
Door horizon pe ek Nai light fleakers Hui Aarohi Ne notice Kiya yah kya hai Kabir serious Ho Gaya lagta hai story khatam nahin Hui light thodi aur bright Hui aur ek Naya message appear hua.
"LEVEL 8 INITIALISING...."
Aarohi ne Kabir ka hath pakda.
"Ready?" Usne pucha.
Kabir ne uski taraf dekha,
Phir halki si smile ke sath bola :
"Iss baar... Hum sirf survive nahi karenge."
"Rule karenge ."
LEVEL 7 END...
NEW THREAT DETECTED.....
