Aarav ke liye Meera ke muh se nikla hua woh ek lafz — "experiment" — kisi bijli ke jhatke se kam nahi tha. Uske dimaag me hazaaron sawaal ek saath ghoomne lage. "Experiment? Kaunsa experiment? Meera tum kya keh rahi ho?" usne ghabrahat bhari awaaz me poocha. Meera ne aasman ki taraf dekha, jaise woh apne aap ko himmat de rahi ho sach bolne ke liye. Thandi hawa tez chal rahi thi, aur us pal ka mahaul aur bhi zyada heavy ho gaya tha.
Meera ne dheere dheere bolna shuru kiya, "Jab main tumhe chhod kar gayi thi na… tab main sirf apne ghar walon ki wajah se nahi gayi thi… balki mujhe ek hospital me admit kiya gaya tha. Doctors ne kaha tha ki meri bimari ka koi normal ilaaj nahi hai… par ek naya experimental treatment hai… jo shayad mujhe bacha sakta hai…"
Aarav chup chaap sun raha tha. Uska dil keh raha tha ki yeh sab ek bura sapna hai, lekin sach uske saamne khada tha.
Meera ne aage kaha, "Woh log mujh par naye medicines aur procedures test kar rahe the… har din ek nayi injection, ek nayi therapy… kabhi lagta tha main theek ho rahi hoon, aur kabhi lagta tha main aur toot rahi hoon…"
Aarav ke haath gusse aur dard se kaanpne lage. "Tumne mujhe bataya kyun nahi Meera? Main tumhare saath hota… main tumhe akele kaise suffer karne deta?"
Meera ki aankhon se aansu behne lage, "Main nahi chahti thi ki tum mujhe iss haal me dekho… main nahi chahti thi ki tumhari zindagi meri wajah se ruk jaye…"
Aarav ne uska haath zor se pakad liya, "Meri zindagi tum ho Meera… tumhare bina main kuch nahi…"
Meera ne halki si muskaan di, lekin usme dard saaf dikh raha tha. "Aarav… woh treatment normal nahi tha… usne mere body par ajeeb asar kiya… kabhi meri heartbeat ruk jaati thi, kabhi main achanak theek feel karne lagti thi… doctors khud sure nahi the ki main kab tak survive kar paungi…"
Aarav ka dimaag ab dheere dheere sab kuch connect kar raha tha — hospital me Meera ka achanak wapas aana, uska miracle recovery, aur phir yeh sab…
"Iska matlab… tumhari zindagi ab bhi danger me hai?" Aarav ne dheere se poocha.
Meera ne sir jhuka kar haan me jawab diya. "Aur sirf itna hi nahi…"
Aarav ne uski taraf dekha, uska dil phir se ghabra gaya, "Aur kya?"
Meera ne gehri saans li aur kaha, "Woh log ab bhi mujhe dhoond rahe hain… main bina permission ke hospital se nikal aayi hoon…"
Yeh sunte hi Aarav ka khoon thanda pad gaya. "Kya? Matlab woh log tumhe wapas le jaana chahte hain?"
Meera ne dheere se kaha, "Haan… kyunki unke liye main ek patient nahi… ek 'subject' hoon…"
Aarav ke andar gussa ubhar aaya. "Main kisi ko tumhe haath bhi nahi lagane dunga… chahe kuch bhi ho jaye…"
Meera ne uski aankhon me dekha aur kaha, "Tum nahi jaante Aarav… woh log kitne powerful hain… unke paas resources hain, log hain… aur woh mujhe kisi bhi haal me wapas le jaana chahte hain…"
Us pal Aarav ne ek decision le liya. "Toh phir hum bhaag jayenge… kahin door… jahan koi hume na dhoond sake…"
Meera ne thodi der socha, phir halki si haan me sir hila diya. Shayad uske paas aur koi option bhi nahi tha.
Us raat dono ne plan banaya. Subah hote hi woh wahan se nikalne wale the. Aarav ne apni car ready rakhi, aur Meera ke liye zaroori medicines bhi pack kar li.
Subah jab suraj ki pehli roshni pahaadon par padi, dono wahan se nikalne ke liye ready the. Aarav ne Meera ka haath pakda aur kaha, "Ab sab theek ho jayega…"
Lekin jaise hi woh car ke paas pahunche…
Door se kuch black SUVs unki taraf aati hui dikhai di…
Aarav ka dil zor se dhadakne laga. "Meera… woh log…"
SUVs tezi se unke paas ruk gayi. Kuch log bahar aaye — black clothes me, serious faces ke saath. Unhone seedha Meera ki taraf dekha.
Unme se ek aadmi aage badha aur bola, "Miss Meera… aapko wapas chalna hoga…"
Aarav turant Meera ke saamne khada ho gaya, "Koi ise kahin nahi le jayega…"
Woh aadmi thoda muskuraaya, lekin uski aankhon me thandak thi, "Yeh aapka decision nahi hai…"
Aarav ne gusse me kaha, "Agar himmat hai toh le jao ise…"
Aadmi ne apne logon ko signal diya… aur woh dheere dheere Aarav aur Meera ki taraf badhne lage…
Mer ke maare Aarav ka haath aur zor se pakad liya…
Aarav ne usse dheere se kaha, "Main hoon na… kuch nahi hone dunga…"
Lekin uske khud ke dil me bhi darr baith chuka tha…
Suspense
Jaise hi woh log unke kareeb aaye… ek aadmi ne gun nikaali aur Aarav ki taraf point kar di… 😨
👉 Kya Aarav Meera ko bacha paayega…?
👉 Ya yeh log Meera ko zabardasti le jayenge… aur unka pyaar phir se adhura reh jayega? 💔😢
