Result ke baad Aarav ko sabse zyada ek hi cheez ka wait tha…Riya ka reply.
Usne message kiya tha:
"Thoda bura lag raha hai… tu hai na?"
Message gaya…
Seen.
Bas ek chhota sa blue tick…
Aur uske baad silence.
Aarav screen ko dekhte hue wait karta raha.
5 minute… 10 minute… 1 ghanta…
"Shayad busy hogi…"
Usne khud ko samjhaya.
Shaam ho gayi… phir raat…
Phir bhi koi reply nahi.
Us raat Aarav ne phone haath me lekar hi sone ki koshish ki…
Har notification pe dil tez dhadakta…
Par Riya ka naam nahi aaya.
Agle din subah… ek message aaya.
Aarav ka dil ek second ke liye ruk gaya.
Message open kiya…
"Aarav… we should stop talking. I like someone else."
Kuch seconds tak usse samajh hi nahi aaya kya likha hai.
Phir usne dobara padha…
Phir teesri baar…
Har baar words aur heavy lag rahe the.
"I like someone else…"
Jaise kisi ne uske andar kuch tod diya ho.
Aarav ne turant call kiya.
Switched off.
Phir message:
"Kya matlab? Kya hua suddenly?"
No reply.
"At least ek baar baat to kar…"
Still nothing.
Usne chat scroll ki…
Unke purane messages…
"Hamesha saath rahenge"…
"Tu special hai"…
Sab jhoot lagne laga.
Usne phone side me rakh diya…
Aur chup chaap bed pe let gaya.
Aankhon me aansu the…
Par woh ro nahi pa raha tha.
"Main itna easy tha replace karne ke liye?"
Us din Aarav ko samajh aaya —
Dil tootne ki awaaz nahi hoti… par dard bohot hota hai.
Kuch der baad… usne aankhein band kar li…
Aur bas ek hi sawaal uske dimaag me ghoom raha tha—
"Ab Aarav kya karega…?" 🤔🤔🤔
