3. Arjun Singhania

Hospital ke corridor me khadi Kavya ke haath abhi bhi kaanp rahe hai.

Bills uske haath me hai… aur aankhon me darr saaf nazar aa raha hai.

Doctor ki baatein uske dimaag me baar baar ghoom rahi hai…

“Operation jaldi karna hoga… warna condition aur serious ho sakti hai.”

Kavya ke paas waqt bhi kam hai… aur paise bhi.

Wo thak kar ek bench par baith jaati hai… aur apna chehra dono haathon me chhupa leti hai.

“Main kya karu…?” wo dheere se khud se kehti hai.

Tabhi hospital ke bahar ek black luxury car rukti hai.

Gate par khade guards turant alert ho jaate hai. Staff bhi ek dusre se dheere dheere baat karne lagta hai… jaise koi important insaan aaya ho.

Car ka door khulta hai… aur bahar nikalta hai ek aadmi — tall, confident… aur itni strong personality ki har kisi ki nazar us par tik jaati hai.

Arjun Singhania.

28 saal ka… shehar ka sabse bada businessman. Singhania Group ka owner… jiske naam par kai companies chalti hai.

Lagbhag 6 feet lamba, perfectly built body… sharp jawline… aur gehri, thandi aankhein jo kisi ko bhi ek nazar me read kar leti hai.

Uske baal neatly styled hote hai… aur uska black suit uski personality ko aur bhi powerful bana raha hota hai.

Uske chehre par ek alag hi attitude hota hai — na koi jaldi, na koi ghabrahat… bas ek calm dominance.

Wo un logon me se nahi hai jo zyada bolte hai… lekin jab bolta hai, to saamne wala chup ho jaata hai.

Arjun ka naam sirf business world me hi nahi… balki power aur control ke liye bhi jaana jaata hai.

Log usse respect bhi karte hai… aur thoda darr bhi.

Wo seedha hospital ke andar chala jaata hai, uske peeche uska assistant hota hai.

“Sir, aapke dad ICU me hai… doctors aapka wait kar rahe hai,” assistant dheere se kehta hai.

Arjun ka chehra thoda serious ho jaata hai… lekin uski aankhon me emotions phir bhi clearly nahi dikhte.

“Doctor se milwao,” wo seedhi awaaz me kehta hai.

Uski awaaz me ek aisa authority hota hai… jise koi ignore nahi kar sakta.

Idhar Kavya apni hi tension me hoti hai… use nahi pata hota ki uski zindagi ka sabse bada mod uske saamne khada hai.

Wo jaldi me uth kar doctor ke cabin ki taraf badhti hai… lekin dhyaan na hone ki wajah se kisi se takra jaati hai.

Saare papers uske haath se gir jaate hai.

“I’m so sorry…” Kavya jhuk kar papers uthane lagti hai.

Tabhi uski nazar saamne khade aadmi par padti hai…

Aur wo ek pal ke liye ruk jaati hai.

Arjun…

Wo usse seedha dekh raha hota hai.

Uski aankhon me na koi softness hoti hai… na koi sympathy. Sirf ek ajeeb sa calm attitude… jaise use kisi cheez se farq hi nahi padta.

Kavya jaldi se apne papers uthati hai aur side ho jaati hai.

“Sorry…” wo dheere se kehti hai.

Arjun kuch nahi bolta… bas ek nazar us par daalta hai aur aage badh jaata hai.

Lekin jaate jaate uski nazar ek pal ke liye rukti hai…

Shayad us ladki ki aankhon me kuch alag tha…

Shayad wo dard… jo usne pehle bhi kahin dekha tha.

Kavya ke liye wo bas ek anjaana aadmi hai…

Lekin use nahi pata…

ki wahi aadmi ab uski zindagi ka sabse bada faisla banne wala hai.

Aur bohot jald…

usse ek aisa offer milne wala hai…

jise mana karna uske liye namumkin hoga.
