anjaani kashish aur nayi chunautiyan

​Party se wapas aane ke baad, Khushi ka mann us pal mein uljha hua tha. Uski aankhon ke samne baar-baar wahi gehri neeli aankhein aur woh majboot haath aa rahe the jinhone use girne se bachaya tha. Usne aaj tak kabhi kisi anjaan mard ke itne kareeb mehsoos nahi kiya tha.

Udaipur ki raat abhi bhi thandi thi, lekin Vihaan ke seene mein ek ajeeb si halchal thi. Usne apna glass table par patka, kaanch ki awaaz se poora kamra goonj utha.

​Vihaan ke office ka scene:

Vihaan apni kursi par piche jhuka hua tha, aankhen moond kar usne us ladki ka chehra yaad karne ki koshish ki.

"Woh... woh koi aam ladki nahi ho sakti," usne dheemi awaaz mein khud se kaha. Uske saamne uska manager, Khanna khada tha, jo dar ke maare paseena ponch raha tha.

​"Sir, aapne bulaya?"

Vihaan ne aankhen kholi, uski neeli aankhon mein wohi purani sakhti aur gussa wapas aa gaya tha. "Khanna, kal raat palace ke garden mein jo bhi tha, mujhe uski puri details chahiye. Woh ladki, uska dress, uska security protocol... sab kuch. Agle ek ghante mein."

"Lekin Sir, woh private event tha, wahan security..."

Vihaan utha aur khidki ki taraf chala gaya. "Mujhe excuse nahi chahiye. Rathore Empire mein kaam karna hai toh meri har zid puri honi chahiye. Pata lagao woh kaun thi!"

​Singh Mansion mein kashmakash:

Darshit ka gussa toh jaise aasmaan chhu raha tha. Khushi apne kamre mein ek kone mein simti baithi thi. Darshit ne darwaza zor se khola.

​"Khushi! Kya main itna kamzor hoon ki meri behen ki hifazat nahi kar sakta?" Darshit chillaya.

Khushi ne darrte hue sar uthaya, "Bhaiya, main toh bas..."

"Tumne kya socha tha? Ke koi nahi dekhega? Woh Rathore tha, Khushi! Rathore! Unka har kadam ek saazish hota hai. Agar unhe pata chala ki tum kaun ho, toh hamara pura parivaar khatre mein aa jayega."

​Khushi ki aankhon mein aansu aa gaye, par is baar woh chup nahi rahi. "Bhaiya, aap log hamesha darr ke saaye mein kyun jeete ho? Kya main sirf ek 'amanat' hoon? Mujhe bhi jeene ka haq hai!"

Darshit ne uske kandhe pakde, uski awaaz mein narmi thi par dard bhi tha, "Ladoo, tu meri jaan hai. Hum tujhe khona nahi chahte. Woh duniya jise tu bahar se dekhti hai, wahan insaniyat se zyada matlab aur nafrat ki bhasha chalti hai."

​Bhoomi aur Khushi ki baatein:

Bhoomi ne room mein dabe paon enter kiya. "Khushi, tu pagal ho gayi hai? Tu janti hai tu kis se takrai thi? Vihaan Singh Rathore! Log uske naam se thar-thar kaanpte hain."

​Khushi ne khidki ki taraf dekha, jahan se door mahal ki roshni dikh rahi thi. "Bhoomi, maine uski aankhon mein gussa nahi dekha... maine wahan kuch aur dekha. Ek khali-pan, ek akelapan. Jaise woh bhi kisi cheez ki talash mein ho."

Bhoomi ne haath jod liye, "Bhagwan ke liye, apni kismat se khelna band kar. Kal Darshit bhaiya business meeting ke liye Rathore Mansion ja rahe hain, aur agar unhe bhanak bhi lagi ki tu unhe yaad kar rahi hai, toh woh tujhe ghar se nikalna bhi band kar denge!"

​Ek Anjaana Mod:

Agli subah, Rathore Mansion mein sannata tha. Vihaan apne dada ji, Harshvardhan Rathore ke saath nashte ki table par tha.

​"Vihaan," Dada ji ki bhari awaaz goonji, "Kal raat tumne garden mein apna waqt barbad kiya. Business mein focus karo, na ki in bewakoofiyon mein."

Vihaan ne apna chammach rakha, uski nazrein seedhi dada ji par thi. "Dada ji, main apne kaam mein kabhi laparwah nahi raha. Lekin Udaipur ke itihaas mein agar koi nayi cheez dikhe, toh use parakhna meri aadat hai."

​Tabhi ek naukar ne aakar kaha, "Sir, Singh Mansion se Mr. Darshit Singh meeting ke liye aaye hain."

​Vihaan ke chehre par ek khatarnak muskaan aa gayi. Usne socha, "Singh... wahi naam jo kal raat mere dimaag mein chal raha tha. Shayad kismat kuch aur hi chahti hai."
