"Bewajah to nahi milti hain roohein
Bewajah kahan the wo faasle
Dil par to dono ke janam janam se
Likha tha ek duje ka naam
Milna to tha hi unhe ek dooje ke waaste..."


Dimple's POV:-

Daksh kaha usne khudko. Arre uske jese ladke ka naam Daksh hona hi nahi chahiye. Mere Daksh se kahin kuch nahi milta uss nalaayak, nakchide ka. Ek Daksh tha jisne chhoti Dimple ka kabhi itna dhyan rakha tha, aur ek ye hai nakchida.

Daksh ki bahut yaad aa rahi thi uss din. Wo boarding school me padhta tha jahan meri jaan bahut saal pehle teacher thi. Jaan ko wahin rehna padta tha aur mujhe med maamoo ke ghar par chhoda gaya tha. Fir ek baar meri tabiyat bahut kharab thi to jaan mujhe apne paas le gayi. Wahan pehli baar mila tha mujhe mera daksh. Me tab 6th class me thi, aur wo 9th me. Sixth class ka pehla din tha. Jaan mujhe class me betha kar chali gayin. Koi baat nahi karna chahta tha mujhse, koi dost nahi banana chahta tha, mid-session me jo aayi thi me.

Fir recess hui par koi mujhe saath khilaana bhi nahi chahta tha. Me kone me bethi thi, tabhi class ke chaar ladke aaye aur mera tiffin chheen liya unhone. Mene unse kaha me tumhari shikayat kar doongi. Unme se ek ne kaha, ae tu meenakshi madam ki beti hai na. Kisse shikayat karegi, tere baap se. Doosre ne kaha, Arre iska to baap hi nahi hai, bol na hai kya tera baap. Teesre ne kaha, Arre baap to tha par aesi beti ko dekhke bechara inn dono ko chhod ke bhaag gaya. Acha kiya usne.

Itna royi me uss din ki ab bhi yaad hai mujhe.

Tabhi mujhe ek aawaaz sunayi di, Ae door raho usse.

Ek ladka aaya aur usne unme se ek ko collar se pakad ke jor se hila diya. Usne kaha, sorry bol, sorry bol warna aaj teri dono taange tod doonga.

Chaaro ladke usko dekh kar kaanp rahe the, bhai maaf kar de, aage se nahi karenge, hame nahi pata tha ye teri kuch lagti hai. Sorry Dimple, please maaf kar do.

Uss ladke ne kaha dafa ho jaao ab yahan se. Fir usne apna haath meri taraf badhaya, mene pehli baar parivar se alag kisi ka haath thaama tha.

Usne mujhe uthaya aur kaha, meenu maa to bahut bahadur hain aur ek tum ho fisaddi. Me Daksh, Daksh Oberoi. Aaj se me tumhara dost, ok.

Matlab mujhse to pucha bhi nahi ki dosti karni bhi hai ya nahi, bas janaab ne faisla suna diya tha. Aur meri mamma, jo sirf meri mamma hain unko usne meenu maa bola🤨😏.

Mene Daksh se kaha, tumne help ki isliye thank you. Dost to ham bann sakte hain par wo sirf meri mamma hain, koi aur unn par hakk jataaye mujhe pasand nahi.

Daksh kitna hansa tha uss din, bahut acha laga tha use hanste dekh kar.
Aur ek ye nakchida tha jo mere daksh se zara sa bhi milta julta nahi hai, bas naam milte hain dono ke.

"Dimple kahan reh gayi tum, jaldi aao"

"Aayi jaan" Dimple ne niche se chilla kar kaha.

Dimple...... Ye naam sunte hi Daksh Oberoi ne palat kar dekha.

Daksh's POV:-

Ek arse baad uska naam sunn raha hoon. Meri Dimple, jo dari sehmi rehti thi. Par jab hansti thi to aesa lagta tha 10 chudail ki aatma aa gyi isme (while thinking about her, a smile appears on his face).Jab me uske saamne meenu maa bolta tha to uska chehra dekhne laayak hota tha, jal bhun jaati thi meri simple si Dimple. Hostel me meenu maa ekdum maa ki tarah mera dhyan rakhti thi. Bas dedh saal ka saath tha mera aur dimple ka. Fir meenu maa ki government job lag gyi aur wo chali gyin. Na unke paas phone tha, na mere paas. Pata nhi dono ab kahan hongi. Meri Dimple pata nhi mujhe yaad bhi karti hogi ki nahi. Kahan ho Dimple tum, bahut waqt ho gaya, kitna intezaar aur. Jaldi aa jaao na, tumhaare bina dil dhadakna bhi nahi chahta hai. Sab chheen liya bhagwaan ne mujhse, pehle tum aur meenu maa aur tumhaare jaane ke baad mom ko bhi hamesha hamesha ke liye chheen liya mujhse.

Daksh ke kadam mandir ki aur badhne lagte hain, aakhir uss ladki ka naam jo milta tha uski dimple se.

"Samjhunga ki tumne kaha hai mujhse andar aane ko, ye soch kar Daksh mandir ki taraf badhta hai."

Udhar Dimple apni jaan ke paas pahunch chuki hoti hai.

Jaan- kahan thi guddu, itna waqt kahan lag gaya.

(Ab kya bataun jaan ko ki ek nakchide, tedhe medhe insaan ko zara seedha karne gayi thi😏) mann hi mann sochkar dimple ne kaha, kuch nahi jaan Bas kuch bhool gayi thi, chalo andar chalte hain pooja karne.

Dono ki pooja poori ho jaati hai, tabhi meenakshi aunty ke jaan pehchan ki kuch padosane milti hain aur wo sab bahar garden me chale jaate hain baatein karne.

"Arre guddu, prasaad to liya hi nahi pandit ji se, jaao le aao me yahin hoon tumhari aunty ke saath"

"Abhi lekar aati hun jaan. Aap aaram se betho"

Dimple andar jaati hai to saamne se wahi uncle ki entry hoti hai.
"Arre uncle aap kahan reh gaye the. Mujhe laga aap chale gaye"

"Nahi beta Dimple, wo kuch pehchaan ke mil gaye the unse baat karne laga tha, socha tha kya pata Daksh bhi aa jaaye tab tak"

"Aapka beta nahi aaya na. Chhodo uncle, aap mann chhota mat kijiye. Wo nahi aayega aaj"

"Dad", dono palat ke dekhte hain, ekdum hakke bakke, kyuki Daksh Oberoi mandir me padhaar chuke the.

" Daksh, beta tum mandir me aa gaye. Kese mera matlab ye sab kese hua", uncle ki khushi ka to koi hisaab hi nahi tha.

"Kyu dad, mera mandir me aana mana hai kya. Ya kisi chashmish ka ye personal mandir hai, haan", he says while taking a dig at her.

Dimple turns to walk away, suddenly she hears uncle calling her, " Arre Dimple beta kahan ja rahi ho ruko, idhar aao, tumhe kisi se introduce karwaata hun"

Abhi uncle ko kya pata iss nakchide se mil chuki hoon me, Dimple walks towards uncle while thinking.

"Daksh beta inse milo, ye hai Dimple aur Dimple ye hai mera beta Daksh Oberoi. Daksh Institute Of Management and Technology ka chairperson hai ye. Isi ki wajah se hamare Institute ki paanch nayi branch bhi open hui hain Himachal ke alag alag district me. Aur iska plan poore Himachal me branches expand karne ka hai"

Dimple ke chehre se hawaaiyaan udd gayi. Use aesa laga ki zameen fat jaaye aur wo usi me sama jaaye.

Dimple to self:- Arre yaar ye kis aafat me sir daal diya mene. Ye Mere Institute ka chairperson hai. Ohho Dimple ho gayi ab to teri padhai wahan. Jaan ne kitni baar kaha hai ki kam bola kar, aur aaj to mene is nakchide ko kya kya suna diya. Bhagwaan please mujhe bacha lo, isko kisi aur branch me bhej do yaar, ye mujhse na takraaye wahan.

"Daksh beta, Badi hi pyari bachi hai ye. Ye tumhaari mannat ki thaali Dimple ne hi banvaayi hai"

Daksh:- "Sach me badi hi pyari hai ye, dad (passing a smirky smile to her)"

Hello Miss Dimple, he forwards his hand for a handshake..

Dimple:- Hii Mr. Oberoi, nice to meet you. Her face has turned yellow with fear and her hand was shaking while forwarding it towards him.

He shakes his hand with hers with a tight grip as if dekh loonga tumhe dimple.

Dimple haath chhudwaane ki koshish karti hai, but he tightens his grip even more. Her eyes are filled with tears because of pain and as he looked into her eyes, he left her hand immediately, he feels a familiarity with her touch and with her eyes.

"Uncle me chalti hun, mamma mera wait kar rahi hain. Bye."

"Beta bye nahi bolte hain, ye kaho ki fir milenge"

Daksh interrupts and says:-
"Miss Dimple aap jaaiye, aunty wait kar rahi hain na. Ham fir zaroor milenge" Again with a smirky smile and this time his glasses are off his eyes.

She looks into his eyes and they felt known. She just turns and walks away without replying to him.

"Jaan chalo na jaldi ghar chalo. Mujhe kuch acha sa nahi lag raha yahan", Dimple says to her mother while holding her hand.

" Ab tak to theek thi tum guddu. Kya hua."

"Bas kuch nahi jaan. Bas chalo tum yahan se." Dimple said while thinking, isse pehle wo khadoos bahar aaye me nau dau gyarah ho jaati hoon.

Both of them leaves the temple while Daksh standing at the top watching her going away. He couldn't see their face.

"Hisaab kitaab abhi adhoora hai miss dimple. Fir milenge", he says to himself.

His dad approaches him, " Badi hi pyari bachi thi. Kaash mere naalayak ki zindagi me aesi hi koi ladki aa jaaye. Meri to chinta hi khatam ho jaayegi"

"Dad aap fir bahu ka raag alaap rahe ho. Me kya dhyaan nahi rakhta aapka"

"Rakhte ho par tumhara dhyaan rakhne waala bhi to koi hona chahiye na. Mene to yahi maanga hai aaj bhagwaan se ki jaldi hi tumhari shaadi ho jaaye", uncle chuckles while saying this.

Both of them leaves for their home.

Dono hi ghar jaa kar ek kashamkash me uljhe the. Aaj dono hi uss naam se mile the jo dono ke dil par likha tha. Daksh aur Dimple, dono ke dil me ek dooje ki yaadon ka shor tha. Dono ko ek doosre me kuch to pehchaana sa laga tha. Par kon pehle pehchan paayega ikk dooje ko. Jaane aane waala sawera aakhir kya lekar aayega......

"Dil se bandhi ye dor toot ti kahan hai
Faaslon se aashiqi chhut ti kahan hai
Ishq sacha wahi
Jo intezaar ki kasauti par bhi dagmagaaye nahi....."
