Gun ki thandi lohe ki chamak seedha Aarav ke seene par tik gayi thi… aur us pal waqt jaise ruk sa gaya tha. Hawa chal rahi thi, par Aarav ko sirf apne dil ki dhadkan sunayi de rahi thi — tez, bechain, aur darr se bhari hui. Meera ka haath uske haath me zor se pakda hua tha, jaise woh usse kabhi chhodna nahi chahti ho. Uski ungliyaan kaanp rahi thi. Aarav ne dheere se uski taraf dekha, aur uski aankhon me ek hi cheez thi — darr… aur pyaar.
Aage khada woh aadmi, jisne gun pakdi hui thi, bilkul shant tha. Jaise uske liye yeh sab ek normal kaam ho. Usne thodi si gardan jhuka kar kaha, "Aap samajh nahi rahe hain… yeh koi love story nahi hai… yeh ek project hai."
Aarav ke andar ka gussa ab phatne ke kareeb tha. "Mere liye yeh sirf ek project nahi… meri zindagi hai!" usne zor se jawab diya.
Woh aadmi halka sa hasa, lekin us hasi me koi emotion nahi tha. "Zindagi? Aapko pata bhi hai yeh ladki kya hai?"
Yeh sunte hi Aarav ka dil ek pal ke liye ruk gaya. Usne Meera ki taraf dekha. Meera ki aankhen jhuki hui thi, jaise woh sach se bhaag rahi ho.
"Aap kya kehna chahte ho?" Aarav ne dheere se poocha.
Aadmi ne apne coat ki pocket se ek file nikali aur Aarav ki taraf uchhal di. "Khud dekh lo…"
Aarav ne file pakdi. Uske haath kaanp rahe the. Usne dheere dheere usse khola… andar kuch reports thi, medical charts, aur kuch ajeeb se codes. Har page par ek hi naam likha tha — Subject M-17
Aarav ki aankhen phail gayi. "Yeh kya hai…?"
Aadmi ne seedha jawab diya, "Yeh Meera hai…"
Aarav ka dimaag jhatka kha gaya. "Nahi… yeh jhoot hai…"
Meera ki aankhon se aansu girne lage. Usne dheere se kaha, "Aarav… main tumhe batana nahi chahti thi…"
Aarav ne uski taraf dekha, "Sach kya hai Meera?"
Meera ne thodi der tak kuch nahi bola… phir dheere se kaha, "Main sirf ek patient nahi hoon… unhone mere DNA par experiments kiye hain… mujhe artificially modify kiya gaya hai…"
Yeh sunte hi Aarav ke pairon tale zameen hil gayi. "Matlab…?"
Meera ne kaha, "Matlab… meri body normal nahi rahi… main kabhi bhi collapse kar sakti hoon… ya phir…"
"Ya phir kya?" Aarav ne bechaini se poocha.
Meera chup ho gayi.
Aadmi ne baat aage badhai, "Ya phir woh ek aisi entity ban sakti hai jise aap samajh bhi nahi paoge…"
Aarav ne gusse me kaha, "Bas karo! Yeh sab bakwaas hai!"
Aadmi ne serious tone me kaha, "Agar aapko lagta hai yeh bakwaas hai… toh dekh lo…"
Usne apne logon ko signal diya. Unme se ek ne ek device nikala aur Meera ki taraf point kiya.
Device se ek halki si frequency nikli… aur achanak Meera ke body me reaction shuru ho gaya.
"Ahhh…" Meera zor se cheekhi.
Aarav ghabra gaya, "Band karo yeh!"
Lekin woh log nahi ruke. Meera ka body kaanpne laga, uski aankhen ajeeb si chamakne lagi… jaise uske andar kuch aur jag raha ho.
Aarav ne darr ke saath usse pakad liya, "Meera… please control karo…"
Meera ki awaaz badal gayi thi… "Aarav… mujhe bachao…"
Us pal Aarav ko samajh aa gaya ki yeh sab sach hai.
Achanak Meera ne zor se ek scream ki… aur uske aas-paas ki hawa hilne lagi… jaise koi energy release ho rahi ho…
Woh log bhi ek pal ke liye peeche hat gaye.
Aadmi ne dheere se kaha, "Dekha? Yeh normal insaan nahi hai…"
Aarav ka dil toot raha tha… lekin usne phir bhi Meera ka haath nahi chhoda. "Chahe jo bhi ho… yeh meri Meera hai…"
Meera dheere dheere weak ho kar Aarav ke kandhe par gir gayi.
Aadmi ne phir se gun uthayi aur kaha, "Ab bas… isse hume de do… warna agla step aur khatarnaak hoga…"
Aarav ne seedha uski aankhon me dekha, "Main mar jaunga… par ise nahi dunga…"
Ek pal ke liye sab kuch khamosh ho gaya…
Phir achanak…
Peeche se police siren ki awaaz aayi… 🚨
Woh log ek doosre ki taraf dekhne lage. Situation badal rahi thi.
Aadmi ne gusse me kaha, "Yeh abhi khatam nahi hua…"
Woh log jaldi se apni SUVs me baith kar wahan se nikal gaye.
Aarav ne chain ki saans li, lekin uska dil ab bhi tez dhadak raha tha. Usne Meera ko pakad kar kaha, "Tum theek ho?"
Meera ne aankhen kholi… lekin is baar uski aankhon me kuch alag tha…
Ek ajeeb si chamak… ek anjaan si pehchaan…
Usne dheere se kaha…
"Aarav… main Meera nahi hoon…" 😨
Suspense
👉 Kya Meera sach me badal chuki hai?
👉 Ya uske andar koi aur hi shakti jaag chuki hai jo Aarav ke liye khatra ban sakti hai…?
