Platform no. 4

Subhah k 5 baj  rahe the, halki si roshni asmaan chu rahi thi. And Sakshi in a while, was about to start her journey with a smile. Yeh uski pehli solo trip thi,kandhe par bhot si umeedein bandhe chal padi station ki aoor. Train late thi aur woh bhot excited.

Platform no. 4 par khadi hokar train ka intzaar kar rhi thi,subhah k 7 baj kar 05 minute ho rhe the.

Itne mein phone par ek message aya – HI! 

Reply mein sakshi ne pucha , kya mein apko janti hon?

To reply aya : Janti to nahi hoon par, par jaan skati ho. Hii mera naam Mayank hai.

Sakshi single bhi thi aur trip k liye exited bi bhot thi, toh sakshi ne decide kia chalo theek hai baat krte hai. Message ka sil-sila shuru ho gaya  aur sakshi ki journey ka bhi.

Platform par train aa gyi aur badi bhaagaa daudi mein sakshi train par chad gyi. Logon k kandhe aur bazhuoo ke beech se apna rasta bnati hui, sakhi apne reserve dabbe tak pahuch hi gyi. phew!

Ab kandhe se bag utar kar, apni seat par beth, pocket se phone nikal  kar message padha kaha gayi mohotarma? Ab reply gaya- sorry sorry! Woh mein (me) train mein beth rhai thi isliye late reply kar rahi hoon. Kuch hi der mein mayank aur sakshi chat se video calls par aa gye the, train apna rasta lete hue Mathura pahuch gayi rhi.

Lekin phir bhi sakshi jara si pareshan thi ki train kafi der se ruki hui hai,  phir bhi wo mann hi mann khush bhi thi kyunki ek musafir ne usey kuch hi ghanto me har  pal me khushi dhoondhna sikhaya.

Train ki 2 seato ki tang galiyo mein woh murmure se lekar, logo ki duaao tak ki awaz sunai de rahi thi. To wahi khidki k bahar koi Mathura k taza pede ki awaz sakshi ko apni oar akarshit kar raha tha. Finally train 2 ghante baad apne nirdharit station par pahuch hi gayi thi. Aur ek hi din , yay uh kahein kuch hi ghanton mein dono ne kafi baatein kar li thi.

Apni journey k pehle din sakshi ne bhot kuch plan kia tha who kaha jayegi? Kaise jayegi? Kya karegi, wager wagera… bas isi tarah, who roz subhah the karti aur apne safar par nikal jati… 

Par is safar ki khoobsoort baat yeh thi ki, mayank uski journey me har pal mein uske sath tha… pta hai kaise…? 

Video call par… 

Jis udas chehre se apni journey ki shuruwaat ki thi sakshi ne ab woh wajah toh nhi rahi lakin sakshi ko ek nayi wajah mil  gayi thi, muskurane k liye. Lag bhag 5  hi dino mein sakshi aur mayank bhot ache dost  ban gaye the. Fir  chahe sakshi shopping par jati, ya chahe kuch bhi naya karti who mayank ki salah lena kabhi nahi bhoolti thi. Calls aur pictures k through.

Shayad dono ki dosti ab apne agle padhave par bad rahi thi….

Dekhte hi dekhte woh dono ek dusre k bare mein bhot kuch jaan chuke the.aj sakshi ki trip ka last din tha, tab mayank ne ek message kia (ki ab hum 7 din baat nahi kar payenge…

kyunki mujhe abtrip par jana hai.

Toh ek oar sakshi apni trip khatam karein, wapas aa rahi thi aur dusri oar mayank apni trip ki taraf chal diya! 

Sakshi bhot udas thi, ki itni baatein hone k baad achanak se gayab? Tabhi mayank ne last message kia: shayad humara safar yahi tak ka tha,

Sakshi ne pucha: bina miley safar khatam?

Toh reply ata…. Safar toh sunder than a manzil mili ya nahi, usey kya farak padhta hai! Isliye maje lo! rz lo ! aur na miley toh khoj lo!!!!

Fir kya….

agle hi pal sakshi, train me ek naye musafir se takraayi. :-D
