Story — "Gunah ka Naam (Suspense Ending)"
Bachpan me na Aarav ko "sahi" ka matlab pata tha… na "galat" ka.
Uske liye zindagi bas ek khula aasmaan thi — jahan daudte-daudte girna bhi ek khel tha, aur kisi ka dil tod dena bhi ek anjaani si shararat 🙂
Gaon ki galiyon me uski hasi goonjti thi.
Kabhi kisi ka khilona chhupa dena… kabhi ped par chadhkar aam tod lena…
Log muskura kar kehte — "Bachcha hai… seekh jayega।"
Par waqt ne use seekhne ka mauka kam… aur badalne ki majboori zyada di ⏳
Ek din ek aisa hadsa hua, jisne sab kuch badal diya.
Kisi ki zindagi toot gayi…
aur logon ne bina der kiye faisla suna diya —
"Gunah hua hai… aur gunahgaar Aarav hai।"
Us din se uska naam ek fiza me latakta hua ilzaam ban gaya।
Kisi ne nahi poocha ki sach kya hai…
kisi ne nahi jaana ki us raat uski aankhon me itna darr kyun tha 😔
Saal beet gaye।
Aarav bada ho gaya… zimmedar bhi।
Logon ki nazron me woh chup-chaap apni saza jee raha tha।
Par har raat… bilkul 3 baje
uske phone par ek unknown number se call aati 📱
Jab bhi woh "Hello" kehta…
dusri taraf sirf ek halki si saans sunai deti…
jaise koi andhere me chhup kar zinda hone ki gawahi de raha ho।
Aaj bhi raat ko call aayi।
Par is baar ek awaaz bhi thi —
bahut dheemi… bahut thandi…
"Gunah tumne nahi kiya tha, Aarav…"
Uska dil zor se dhadka 💔
"Phir kisne…?"
Line kuch seconds ke liye khamosh rahi।
Phir wahi awaaz boli —
"Yaad karo… us raat tum akela nahi tha…"
Aarav ka chehra safed pad gaya।
Usne dheere se apne kamre ki light on ki।
Aur tab usne dekha —
darwaza andar se band tha…
phir bhi zameen par geele kadmon ke nishaan the…
jo seedha uske bistar tak aa kar ruk gaye the…
Phone ab bhi connected tha…
par screen par number ki jagah sirf ek word likha tha —
"Bachpan."
