Hospital ke us safed corridor me baitha Aarav bas ek hi baat soch raha tha — "Sirf 10 din…" Yeh shabd uske dimaag me baar baar goonj rahe the. Har baar jab woh aankhen band karta, Meera ka chehra saamne aa jata. Uski muskaan, uski awaaz, uski woh baatein jo ab sirf yaadein banne wali thi… Aarav ka dil itna bhaari ho gaya tha ki usse saans lena bhi mushkil lag raha tha. Lekin usne ek faisla kar liya — ab woh in 10 dinon ko sirf dard me nahi, balki pyaar me jeeyega. Woh Meera ko har woh khushi dega jo shayad zindagi usse kabhi nahi de paayi.
Agle din se Aarav ne sab kuch badal diya. Usne apni job se chhutti le li, apne doston se door ho gaya, aur apni puri duniya sirf Meera ke aas-paas basa di. Woh Meera ke paas hospital me hi rehta, uske liye kahaniyan sunata, usse hansane ki koshish karta, aur har pal usse yeh feel karata ki woh akeli nahi hai. Meera bhi Aarav ke liye strong banne ki koshish karti thi. Kabhi kabhi jab woh thak jaati, toh Aarav uska haath pakad kar kehta, "Main hoon na…" aur Meera halki si muskaan de deti.
Ek din Meera ne Aarav se kaha, "Mujhe hospital ki smell bilkul pasand nahi… kya tum mujhe bahar le ja sakte ho?" Aarav pehle thoda darr gaya, par phir usne doctor se baat ki aur special permission le li. Woh Meera ko wheelchair par lekar hospital ke bahar gaya. Thandi hawa Meera ke chehre ko chhoo rahi thi, aur woh aankhen band karke us pal ko mehsoos kar rahi thi. Usne dheere se kaha, "Yeh hawa… yeh zindagi jaisi lagti hai…" Aarav ki aankhon me aansu aa gaye, lekin usne unhe chhupa liya.
Dono us din usi purane park me gaye jahan unki kahani shuru hui thi. Har jagah unki yaadein basi thi. Meera ne dheere se kaha, "Aarav… yaad hai jab tum pehli baar mere paas library me baithe the?" Aarav muskura diya aur bola, "Haan… aur tumne mujhe itni ghoor kar dekha tha jaise main koi alien hoon…" Dono hans pade. Kuch pal ke liye sab kuch normal lagne laga, jaise zindagi ne unhe ek chhoti si break de di ho.
Lekin sach zyada der tak chhup nahi sakta tha. Meera ki tabiyat dheere dheere aur kharab hone lagi. Uska body weak hota ja raha tha, aur woh zyada der tak baith bhi nahi paati thi. Aarav har din usse dekh kar toot raha tha, par phir bhi woh strong banne ki acting karta tha. Raat ko jab Meera so jaati, Aarav uske paas baith kar chupke se rota tha. Woh khud se kehta, "Bas 10 din… bas 10 din aur…"
Ek raat Meera ne Aarav ko bulaya aur kaha, "Aarav… agar main kal subah na uth paayi toh?" Aarav ne turant uske honton par apni ungli rakh di aur kaha, "Aisa kabhi mat kehna…" Meera ne dheere se muskurate hue kaha, "Sach se bhaag nahi sakte na…"
Phir usne Aarav ka haath pakda aur kaha, "Meri ek last wish hai…" Aarav ne turant kaha, "Jo tum chaho…" Meera ne halki si awaaz me kaha, "Main chahti hoon ki hum shaadi karein… abhi… isi waqt…"
Yeh sunte hi Aarav ek pal ke liye shock ho gaya. Usne kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ki yeh pal itni jaldi aur itne dard ke saath aayega. Lekin usne bina soche haan kar diya. Agle din hospital ke ek chhote se room me, doctor aur kuch staff ke saamne, Aarav ne Meera ka haath pakad kar usse apni zindagi ka hissa bana liya. Na koi shor, na koi band baaja… bas do dil aur unka sachha pyaar.
Meera ki aankhon me us din ek alag hi chamak thi. Usne Aarav se kaha, "Ab main bina kisi darr ke ja sakti hoon…" Aarav ka dil phir se toot gaya, lekin usne sirf itna kaha, "Tum kahin nahi ja rahi…"
Din dheere dheere beet rahe the… aur ab sirf 2 din bache the. Aarav har pal Meera ke saath rehta, uska haath pakad kar baitha rehta, jaise woh usse kabhi chhodna nahi chahta ho. Meera ab bahut kam bol paati thi, lekin uski aankhen sab kuch keh deti thi.
Aakhri raat aa gayi… Aarav Meera ke paas baitha tha, uska haath apne haath me liye hue. Meera ne dheere se aankhen kholi aur kaha, "Aarav…"
Aarav turant jhuk kar uske paas aaya, "Haan Meera…"
Meera ne halki si muskaan ke saath kaha, "I love you…"
Aarav ke aansu ruk nahi paaye, usne kaha, "I love you too…"
Meera ne dheere se apni aankhen band kar li… aur uskidheere kam hone lagi…
Aarav zor se chillaya, "Meera!!!"
Doctors room me daud kar aaye… sab kuch bahut tezi se ho raha tha… machine ki awaaz tez ho gayi… Aarav ka dil toot raha tha…
Phir achanak…
Machine ki awaaz ruk gayi…
Suspense
Doctor ne Aarav ki taraf dekha… aur dheere se kaha —
"Meera… ab nahi rahi…" 😢💔
Lekin usi pal… Meera ki ungli halka sa hilli…
👉 Kya Meera sach me wapas aa rahi hai…?
👉 Ya yeh sirf Aarav ka ek aur adhura sapna hai…? 💔😢
