Ek din college mein ek naya ladka aaya — Aarav.
Wo bilkul Ananya ke opposite tha. Confident, funny aur sabka favourite. Teachers bhi use pasand karte the.
Ek din Aarav ne notice kiya ki Ananya hamesha akeli baithi rehti hai.
Wo uske paas aaya aur bola,
"Hi, tum hamesha itni chup kyun rehti ho?"
Ananya thoda ghabra gayi,
"Nahi… bas aise hi…"
Aarav muskuraya,
"Aise hi nahi hota. Har chup rehne ke peeche koi story hoti hai."
Ye line Ananya ke dil ko chhoo gayi.
Pehli baar kisi ne usse samajhne ki koshish ki thi.
