Sumedh's dream

Bandana & Sumedh were taking walk on a lonely road behind their houses.

"Kya baat hai..? Chehek rahe ho bahot..? " Bandana asked.

Sumedh just smiled & looked away. There was a bench on a side of road. Sumedh went & sat there. His eyes went towards dark sky. In a second his gaze fixed there.

Bandana again remembered the dream.. She again remembered Adham..

"Sumedh.. Kya hua hai..? " Bandana again asked.

"Main bata deta tumhe.. Par abhi waqt nai aya.. Par jab aayega.. Tab sabse pehle tumhe hi bataunga.. " He said.

Now Bandana became serious. She sat beside him.

"Tum hamesha kehte ho ki tumhe ek sapna baar baara ata hai.. Wo kaunsa hai..? " She asked.

"Ajib sa hai.. Mujhe kuch dikhta nai.. Bas aawaje ati hai.. Koi bolta hai ki uss ladki ko chhod do.. Koi kehta hai ki meri jid hai.. Phir ek ladki chillati hai.. Mujhe lagta hai ki mujhe use bachana hai.. Par main jag jata hoon.. " He told.

Bandana listened carefully.

"Accha suno.. Jab bhi tumhe koi sapna dikhe tum mujhe batana.. " She said.

"Kyu..? Tumhe kitab likhni hai.? " He chuckled.

"Nai.. Mujhe apna psychology ka project dreams pe banana hai.. " She lied.

"Jhoot.. Jhoot... Tumne jhoot bola.. " He said.

"Aisa kyu..? " She asked in surprise.

"Ek to tum poore duniya se jhoot bol logi par mujhse nai.. Main tumhara jhoot sense kar sakta hoon.. Aur dusra.. Jab tum jhoot bolti ho mujhse.. Tab apne haath kahi chupa leti ho.. Jaise abhi chupa rahi ho.. Jacket ki pocket me.. " He said.

Bandana hit him on shoulder & started laughing.

"Phir jhoot toh main bhi pakad leti hoon tumhara.. Jaise Aarushi ke bareme tum bolte ho mujhse . " She said.

He also started laughing.

"Pata hai.. Pichle janam me na tum aur main jaroor ek dusre ko jaante honge.. " Sumedh said.

This thing made a way through her mind. She again became serious.

"Umm.. Sumedh.. Late ho gya hai.. Chalo.. " She said while standing up but he held her wrist & made her seat again.

He looked into her eyes.

"Aarushi ke bareme kya janana hai tumhe..? " He asked.

"Mujhe Aarushi ke nai.. Tumhare aur Aarushi ke bareme janana hai.. " She replied.

He sighed.

"I can't tell ki mujhe kya hota hai use dekh ke.. Maine tumse kaha tha clg ki first day pe.. Ki mera ek maksad hai clg jane ka.. Wo maksad Aarushi thi.. I feel something unusual... I don't knw why.. " He said.

"U love her..? " She asked.

"No.. Ofc not.. Iske bareme toh main 100 percent sure hoon ki main pyaar nai karta usse.. Bandana.. Tum mujhe jitna janti ho utna shayad main bhi nai janta khud ko.. Tum janti ho ki main kisi aisi ladki se pyaar nai kar sakta jise main thik se janta nai.. Love is different feeling.. Wo mujhe nai aa sakti use dekh ke.. But kuch toh aisa hai jo mujhe khich ke le jata hai uske pas.. " He said.

Bandana was still serious.

"Poora sach tum abhi bhi mujhe nai bata rahe yeh main janti hoon.. Kuch aisa mat kar dena jisse uske dil ko hurt ho.. She is a nice girl Sumedh.. Aur agar serious nai ho toh abhi usse door hat jao.. " Bandana said firmly.
