कभी ज़िद सा, खामोशी सा
कभी रूमानी सा, मदहोशी सा
एहसास-ए-ईश्क सरगोशी सा
कभी किनारों सा, बहारों सा
कभी झरने से गिरती फुहारों सा
एहसास-ए-ईश्क मल्हारों सा
कभी जीवन में कमी सा
कभी रेगिस्तान में नमी सा
एहसास-ए-ईश्क ज़मीं सा
कभी सहर सा, कभी‌ मेहर सा
कभी है ज़हर सा
एहसास-ए-ईश्क ब्रह्म पहर सा....


Ram enters the class. The first lecture has ended and second one was about to begin.

Dimple:- Kahan the tum. Mujhe bataya bhi nahi, bas aese hi chale gaye. Jaao jaake kisi aur ke paas betho.


Ram:- kaam tha kuch isliye gaya tha. Me to yahin bethunga nakchidi. Tumhe bhi kisi aur bench par nahi jaane doonga.


Teacher enters the class. Everyone is paying attention to the lecture but Ram is lost in his thoughts reminiscing his past, back to the time when he met her.

Ram's POV:-

Kehne ko to sab kuch hi tha mere paas. Bada sa ghar, bahut pyar karne waale mom dad. Boarding school me bhi nahi tha me 5th class tak. Fir zindagi me aesa bhoochal aaya ki sab badal gaya tha. Dad was caught red handed, he was cheating my mom. Nafrat karne laga tha me unse. Unhone mom se bahut maafi maangi ki kabhi aesa nahi karenge. Mom ne to maaf kar diya par me nahi kar paaya. Kyun karta. Dhokha diya tha unhone. Dheere dheere unki aur mere beech ki khaayi badhne lagi to mom ne mujhe hostel bhej diya. Tab me sixth class me tha. Hostel me bhi sabse ukhda vyavahar, kisi ki baat na sun na meri aadat ban gaya tha. Padhai me acha tha par bahut badal gaya tha me.

Fir ek din tum aayi Dimple. Hawa ke jhonke ki tarah. Tumne meri zindagi ka rukh badal diya. Tum kisi se baat nahi karti thi. Akele rehti thi hamesha. Mene bahut koshish ki tumse dosti karne ki par tumne har baar mana kar diya. Apni si lagti thi tum, ya kahun ki mere jesa sannata tha tumhare andar bhi.

Ek din class ke kuch ladkon ne tumse tumhaare papa ke baare me kuch kaha aur tum rone lagi thi. Uss din mene pehli baar kisi ke daant tode the. Tumne rokne ki koshish ki par me ruka hi nahi. Aur mujhe koi gam nahi kyuki wahin se shuru hua tha hamari dosti ka silsila.
Principal office me mere dad ko bulaya gaya, chaar thappad bhi pade the. Yaad hai tumhe jab me class me aaya to tumne kya kaha tha?

"Hii, I am Dimple. To aaj se ham dost. Lekin dobara kabhi gusse me wo mat karna jo tumne aaj kiya, agar manzoor hai to me hamesha tumhari dost rahungi."

Mene kahan haan manzoor hai.
Sab bache chhutti me ghar jaate, par me wahin rehta. Tum ghar isliye nahi jaati thi kyuki tab tumhara koi ghar nahi tha.
Tumhe yaad hai tumne kya kaha tha?

"Ram tum ghar kyon nahi jaate. Vanvaas par nikle ho kya. Aunty tumhe kitna yaad karti hain. Chale jaao na"

I said, "Nafrat hai dad se mujhe, tum ache se jaanti ho unhone kya kiya tha. Nahi jaunga me"

Tumhe yaad hai apna jawaab?

"Agar kisi ko apni galati par sach me pachhtaava ho to unhe ek mauka dena chahiye Ram. Kam se kam apni mom ke liye aesa kar sakte ho. Wo bhatke zarur par wo laut kar bhi to aaye na. Atleast you have got a dad, please give him a second chance"

Tumhare kehne par ghar gaya tha me. Dad ki khushi ka thikaana nahi tha. Tumne wo khaayi dheere dheere bhar di. Kahan tum meri dost thi aur kahan aaj tum mom aur dad ke liye mujhse bhi zyada important ban gayi. Tumne hamare bikhare hue parivaar me zindagi bhar di. Big B bahut badal gaye hain Dimple. Mom bahut khush rehti hain aur meri to duniya ho tum ho.

Batao na kese jaane doon tumhe khood se door. Haan tum usse pyaar karti ho, par mujhse bhi to karti ho na, chaahe dost ki tarah hi sahi.
Wo tumhari zindagi me nahi hoga to ek din tumhe mujhse pyar ho hi jaayega. Par me tumhe jaane nahi doonga, pyaar aur jang me sab jaayaz hai.

Finally the day was over. Before Ram and Dimple could head for home, it started raining very heavily.

Dimple:- Ram ab bike par kese jaayenge yaar. Sadken kitni slippery hongi.

Ram:- Kuch nhi hoga, tum to aese keh rahi ho jese pehle ham kabhi barsaat me bike par nhi gaye. Dheere chalaunga me, ab to chalogi.

Both just went a little farther, Dimple slipped and twisted her ankle. Daksh, who was on the way to take her home, saw her and came running.


Daksh:- Kya hua tumhe, tum gir kese gayi. Dekh kar kyun nahi chalti ho. Aur ye heel jab tumse sambhalti nahi hain to kyon pehan rakhi hai. Lagta hai pair me moch aa gayi hai.

Ram pushes Daksh aside and says:- Don't worry sir. Me use khud le jaunga.

Ram to Dimple:- Utho...
