Phir Se Milna: Ek Nayi Shuruat

Das saal ho gaye, jab maine usse aakhri baar dekha tha. Das saal, jo mere liye naye anubhav aur badlav lekar aaye the, aur jo mujhe wo insaan bana chuke the, jo main aaj hoon. Par jitna waqt guzra, utna hi wo yaadein meri zindagi mein apni jagah banaye rakhte the. Wo hansi, wo baatein, wo pal, jo hum dono ne saath mein bitaye the, kabhi bhi puri tarah se nahi gayi thi.

Ek din, jab main purani cheezon ko dhundte hue apne attic mein thi, mujhe ek purani tasveer mili. Vo humari school trip ki tasveer thi, jab hum football field par khade the, ek dusre ke saath, hans rahe the, bilkul jaise hum dono ke beech ek hi duniya thi. Ye tasveer humari dosti ka sabse khoobsurat pal tha, wo pal jab hum dono ki duniya ek thi, aur hum ek dusre ke saath khush the. Par phir waqt ne apna kaam kiya, aur hum alag ho gaye.

Meri zindagi kaafi badal gayi thi, par vo yaadein kabhi purani nahi hui. Maine apni zindagi mein naye rishte banaye, naye dost bane, lekin kuch cheezein hamesha mere saath thi — aur unmein sabse zyada vo tha jo main ne kabhi pura nahi kiya: apne aur uske beech ke unsolved issues. Kya humari dosti aur mohabbat wapas aa sakti thi? Kya hum apne purane dard ko bhool kar ek nayi shuruat kar sakte the?

Sab kuch tab badla jab ek din, mujhe apni purani school ki reunion ki invitation mili. Pehli baar tha jab mujhe lag raha tha ki main usse dekh paungi. Dil thoda ghabra raha tha, par saath hi ek umeed bhi thi ki shayad yeh waqt hum dono ke liye ek doosra mauka ho.

Reunion ke din, jab main venue par pahuchi, meri aankhon ne usse dhundhna shuru kiya. Aur phir vo moment aaya—vo apne usual jeans aur t-shirt mein, bilkul waise hi, jaise main use pehle dekhti thi. Uski aankhon mein kuch tha, kuch jo maine pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha. Wahi purani pehchaan thi, par kuch naya bhi tha.

Hum dono ne ek dusre ki taraf dekha, aur phir ek chhoti si muskaan di. Jaise pura waqt ruk gaya ho, jaise kuch bhi badla na ho. “Hi,” usne kaha, aur meri duniya ek baar phir se uske aas paas ghoomne lagi.

Woh pal, jab hum dono baat kar rahe the, kuch purani baatein khul rahi thi. Hum dono ne apne beech ke dard, apni kabhi na puri hui baaton ko saamne rakha. “Tumne kabhi mujhe bataya nahi ki tumne kis wajah se humara rista khatam kiya tha,” usne kaha. “Aur tum bhi kabhi mujhse nahi pooch rahe the,” maine jawab diya. Hum dono ke beech ek khamoshi thi, par vo khamoshi purani yaadon ko jaga rahi thi.

Phir dheere dheere hum dono ne apne purane jazbaat, apni kabhi na samjhi gayi baatein ek doosre ke saath share ki. Humne samjha ki kis tarah hum dono apne apne dard ke saath jee rahe the, aur kis tarah hum dono ne ek doosre ko chhoda tha bina poori tarah se samjhe.

Lekin ab sab kuch badal chuka tha. Hum dono kaafi badal chuke the. Humne apne rishton mein galtiyan ki thi, lekin humne seekha tha ki rishta sirf samajhne se nahi, samjhane se banta hai. Aaj hum dono ek naye nazariye se ek doosre ko dekh rahe the.

“Shayad hum dono ko ek doosre se door jaana zaroori tha, takki hum apni zindagi ko samajh sakein,” usne kaha. “Aur shayad hum dono ko ek doosre ki zaroorat ab hai, lekin naye tareeke se,” maine jawab diya.

Aur phir hum dono ne decide kiya ki ab hum apne beech ki purani galtiyan aur dard ko chhod kar, ek naye chapter ki shuruat karenge. Humne ek doosre ko ek doosre ke jazbaat samajhne ka waqt diya, apne pichle dard ko pichhe chhod diya. Humne decide kiya ki ab hum apne rishte ko ek nayi umeed ke saath jeeyenge.

Zindagi kabhi bhi perfect nahi hoti, par ek doosre ke saath apni galtiyan samajhkar aur apni bechainiyon ko door karke, hum dono apni purani mohabbat ko dubara se jeene ka ek moka pa chuke the.

“Phir se milna kabhi bhi asaan nahi hota,” usne kaha, “lekin jab tumhare paas kisi ka pyaar ho, to sab kuch mumkin hai.”

Aur hum dono ke beech ek nayi shuruat hui, ek doosre ke saath, apni purani mohabbat ko ek naye roshni mein jeene ke liye.
