Unknown Texts, Known Feelings

Main Kabeer, ek software developer, hamesha apne phone mein ghusa rehta tha. mere social circle limited tha, aur zindagi mein excitement kaafi kam thi. Har din ek routine jaisa lagta, same office, same log aur same boring schedule. meri life mein ek hi exciting cheez thi—wo ek unknown number se messages aate the.

Pehli baar jab message aaya toh usne socha koi galti se wrong number hoga. Message tha: “Coffee ke bina tumhari raat kaise jaati hai?” maine ignore kiya, lekin agle din phir se wahi message, kuch naye shabdon mein: “Aaj ka din coffee ke bina kaise kat raha hai?”

mujhe ko curiosity hui. maine reply kiya, “Tum kaun ho?”

Unknown number se turant reply aaya, “Wahi, jo tumhari life ko interesting banane wali hoon.”

maine ne hasi me lete hue reply kiya, “Interesting kaise?“

Aur phir messages ka silsila chal pada. Roz koi naya message aata, kuch funny, kuch mysterious. mujh ko is game mein maza aane laga. Jo unknown tha, usse ab roz intezaar rehta. Phir ek din, ek message aaya, “Kya tum sach mein itne boring ho ya sirf phone pe interesting lagne ka natak karte ho?”

mujhe thoda jhatka laga. maine reply diya, “Boring? Tum mujhe itna janti bhi nahi ho.”

Unknown number ne jawab diya, “Mujhe lagta hai main tumhe tumse zyada jaanti hoon.”

Mujhe ab sach mein excitement hone laga. Kaun thi yeh ladki? phir socha, “Yeh koi prank toh nahi?” Lekin phir bhi curiosity ke haathon majboor, phir maine poochha, “Achha, agar tum mujhe itna jaanti ho toh ek clue do. Kaun ho tum?”

Ladki ne jawab diya, “Main wahi hoon jise tumne ek baar dekha, aur fir bhool gaye.” Main  ab aur confuse ho gaya. maine apni zindagi ke purane pal yaad kiye, lekin kuch samajh nahi aaya.

Ek raat, unknown number se ek message aaya: “Kal coffee ke liye ready rehna. Same café jo tumhare office ke paas hai, 6 baje.”

maine socha ki ab waqt aa gaya hai mystery ko solve karne ka. Agle din, mai café gaya. 6 baje ka intezaar karte karte mera dil tez dhadak raha tha. Kya yeh koi prank hai? Ya sach mein koi unknown admirer hai?

Tabhi ek ladki café mein enter hoti hai, ek laal jacket pehne hue, aur dheere dheere mere taraf aati hai. Uska chehra dekhkar mera surprise aur confusion dono badh gaya.

Yeh ladki koi aur nahi, mere office ki HR manager, Anya thi. Hamesha serious aur professional rehne wali, ekdum mysterious messages ke piche thi?

Anya muskuraayi aur boli, “Surprised?”

Mai shocked tha, “Tum? Tum yeh sab messages bhej rahi thi? Lekin kyun?”

Anya ne thodi sharmate hue kaha, “Mujhe tumhe directly approach karne ka mann nahi tha. Tum hamesha apne kaam mein busy rehte ho, aur main sochti thi ke tum boring ho, lekin jab tumhare work ethics dekhe, tumhare ideas sunne, toh mujhe samajh aaya ke tum alag ho.”

maine ab tak jo guesses lagaye the, sab galat the. Lekin is twist mein ek ajeeb excitement tha. “Aur yeh mystery game?”

Anya hasi, “Thoda fun add karne ke liye. Tumhe involve karne ka yehi tareeka socha tha. It worked, didn’t it?”

mujhko hasi aayi. Life suddenly less boring lag rahi thi. phir socha, “Shayad zindagi unpredictable twists ke saath hi interesting banti hai.”

Anya ne kaha, “Toh ab kya, real coffee peene chalein?”

mai ne finally ek deep breath le kar kaha, “Haan, coffee toh ban’ti hai.”………………….next part coming soon
