Aarav ke saamne woh glowing portal dhadak raha tha, jaise koi zinda cheez ho… uski roshni kabhi tez ho jaati, kabhi dheemi pad jaati. Device se nikalti warning sound lagataar goonj rahi thi — "System unstable… entry may result in permanent loss…" Lekin Aarav ke liye ab wapas mudne ka koi sawaal hi nahi tha. Usne apni mutthi me Meera ka bracelet aur zor se kas liya, jaise usme hi uski saari himmat ho.
Usne ek pal ke liye aankhen band ki… Meera ki muskaan yaad ki… unki shaadi, unki woh chhoti chhoti baatein… aur phir dheere se bola, "Main aa raha hoon Meera…"
Woh aadmi chup chaap usse dekh raha tha. Shayad usse pata tha ki ab Aarav ko koi nahi rok sakta.
Aarav ne ek kadam aage badhaya… portal ki roshni uske chehre par padi… uski aankhon me darr bhi tha, lekin pyaar usse kahin zyada strong tha.
Aur phir…
Usne bina soche samjhe portal ke andar kadam rakh diya.
Ek pal me sab kuch badal gaya.
Jaise hi Aarav portal ke andar gaya, usse laga jaise uska jism hawa me bikhar raha ho. Har taraf sirf roshni thi… itni tez ki aankhen kholna mushkil ho raha tha. Usse apne kaano me ajeeb si awaazein sunayi de rahi thi — jaise hazaaron log ek saath kuch bol rahe ho, lekin samajh me kuch nahi aa raha tha.
Usne zor se chillaya, "Meera!!!"
Uski awaaz us roshni me kho gayi…
Phir achanak…
Sab kuch shaant ho gaya.
Aarav dheere se zameen par gira. Usne aankhen kholi… aur jo usne dekha, woh usne kabhi imagine bhi nahi kiya tha.
Woh ek ajeeb si jagah thi — har taraf safed roshni, na aasman, na zameen ka koi clear shape… jaise woh kisi beech ke space me khada ho.
"Aarav…"
Yeh awaaz…
Usne turant palat kar dekha…
Wahan Meera khadi thi.
Bilkul waise hi… jaise woh pehle thi… uski aankhon me wohi pyaar, wohi softness…
Aarav ke chehre par khushi aur aansu ek saath aa gaye. "Meera!!!"
Woh uski taraf dauda… aur usse gale laga liya.
"Main tumhe wapas le jaane aaya hoon…" usne kaha.
Meera ne dheere se usse alag kiya… aur uski aankhon me dekha.
"Aarav… tumhe yahan nahi aana chahiye tha…"
Aarav ne turant kaha, "Main tumhare bina nahi reh sakta…"
Meera ne halki si muskaan di… lekin usme ek dard chhupa tha.
"Aarav… yeh jagah normal nahi hai… yahan se wapas jaana itna aasaan nahi…"
Aarav ne bina soche jawab diya, "Mujhe farq nahi padta… main tumhe lekar hi jaunga…"
Meera kuch bolne hi wali thi…
Tabhi…
Achanak uske aas-paas ki roshni badalne lagi…
Uska chehra dheere dheere fade hone laga…
"Aarav…" uski awaaz halki padne lagi…
Aarav ghabra gaya, "Meera kya ho raha hai???"
Usne uska haath pakadne ki koshish ki… lekin uska haath uske through nikal gaya… jaise woh sirf ek illusion ho…
"Nahi… yeh nahi ho sakta…" Aarav ne darr ke saath kaha…
Meera ki awaaz door hoti ja rahi thi…
"Yeh sirf ek projection hai Aarav… main yahan phas chuki hoon…"
Aarav ka dil phir se toot gaya, "Nahi… main tumhe yahan nahi chhodunga…"
Tabhi…
Uske peeche se ek heavy awaaz goonji…
"Tumhe yahan aana hi nahi chahiye tha…" 😨
Aarav ne dheere se palat kar dekha…
Wahan ek shadow jaisi entity khadi thi… badi… aur darawni…
Uski aankhen red glow kar rahi thi…
Aur woh seedha Aarav ki taraf badh rahi thi…
Suspense :
👉 Kya yeh entity Meera ko control kar rahi hai?
👉 Kya Aarav is anjaan duniya se zinda wapas aa paayega… ya woh bhi yahin hamesha ke liye phas jayega? 💔😨
