Main Priya hoon aur yeh meri kahani hai jo abhi bhi mere dil mein ek ajeeb si feeling chhod gayi hai. Shaadi ke baad pehli baar hum dono akale the. Rahul mera pati, woh bhi thoda nervous lag raha tha jaise mujhse bhi zyada. Hum ek chhote se hotel mein ruke the kyunki ghar abhi ready nahi tha. Room mein enter karte hi maine apna bag side mein rakha aur window ke paas khadi ho gayi. Bahar ki lights dheere dheere chamak rahi thi. Rahul ne door band kiya aur dheere se mere paas aaya. Uski aankhon mein kuch alag si baat thi jo main pehle kabhi nahi dekhi thi.
“Priya, thak gayi hogi na?” usne poocha, uski awaaz mein ek halka sa pause tha. Maine sirf smile karke haan mein sir hilaya. Hum dono ke beech mein ek chhoti si doori thi lekin woh doori bhi ab dheere dheere kam ho rahi thi. Rahul ne apni shirt ke button khole aur chair par baith gaya. Maine dekha ki uski aankhein mujhse seedha contact kar rahi thi, jaise woh kuch soch raha ho jo abhi tak usne bataya nahi tha. Main bhi uski taraf dekhti rahi, mera dil thoda tez dhadak raha tha lekin maine apne aap ko sambhala.
Hum baat karne lage purani yaadon ki. Kaise hum mile the, kaise pehli baar milne mein dono sharma gaye the. Rahul ne bataya ki uske office ke colleagues ne kitna mazak udaya tha. Main hans padi lekin uska chehra abhi bhi serious tha. Usne mera haath pakda, uske haath thande the. Maine uske haath ko apne haath se dabaya. Koi badi baat nahi hui thi abhi tak lekin uske touch mein ek ajeeb si warmth thi jo mujhe rok nahi pa rahi thi.
Room mein sirf fan ki awaaz aa rahi thi. Maine apni chunni adjust ki aur bed ke paas baith gayi. Rahul utha aur window ke paas aa gaya, mere bilkul saamne. Uski aankhon mein wohi sawal tha jo abhi tak jawab nahi mila tha. “Priya, yeh sab itna naya kyun lag raha hai?” usne poocha. Maine kaha, “Haan, bilkul naya lag raha hai. Jaise hum dono alag insaan ho gaye hain.” Hum dono hans pade lekin hansne ke baad bhi ek chuppi chha gayi. Woh chuppi bhi kuch keh rahi thi.
Maine usse poocha ki kal subah kya plan hai. Rahul ne kaha ki pehle ghar dekhna hai phir shopping. Lekin uski baat karte waqt uski nazar meri taraf se hat nahi rahi thi. Main thoda uncomfortable feel kar rahi thi lekin saath hi ek curiosity bhi thi. Kya woh mujhse kuch aur kehna chahta tha? Maine apni baal peeche kiye aur uski taraf dekha. Usne ek gehri saans li aur phir se chair par baith gaya.
Hum dono ne dinner order kiya. Jab waiter aaya toh hum dono chup ho gaye jaise koi badi baat ho rahi ho. Dinner ke baad maine bed par let gayi. Rahul ne light off ki lekin night lamp on chhoda. Room mein halki si roshni thi. Woh mere paas aaya aur mere saamne baith gaya. “Priya, aaj raat hum baat kar sakte hain?” usne poocha. Maine haan kaha lekin andar se sawal badh rahe the. Kya baat karni hai? Shaadi ke baad itni si baat mein itna tension kyun?
Usne mera chehra apne haath se chhua. Uski ungliyan dheere se meri skin par ghum rahi thi. Main aankhein band karke uska touch feel kar rahi thi. Lekin phir bhi maine kuch nahi kaha. Rahul ne kaha ki woh mujhse bahut khush hai. Maine bhi kaha ki main bhi khush hoon. Lekin uske baad jo usne kaha woh sunke main ruk gayi. “Priya, agar main kuch aisa karun jo tu expect nahi karti toh?”
Yeh sunke mera dil tez ho gaya. Maine aankhein kholi aur uski taraf dekha. Uski aankhon mein wohi curiosity thi jo ab tak build ho rahi thi. Main kuch bol nahi paayi. Sirf uske haath ko pakde rahi. Room ki hawa bhi ab garam lag rahi thi. Rahul ne apna sir thoda aage kiya aur mere kaan ke paas aaya. Usne dheere se kaha, “Main bas yeh jaanna chahta hoon ki tu taiyaar hai ya nahi.”
Tension ab clearly badh rahi thi. Main soch rahi thi ki aage kya hoga. Kya woh kuch aur poochega? Kya main jawab de paungi? Yeh raat abhi shuru hui thi aur hum dono ke beech mein itne saare unanswered sawal the. Main bas intezaar kar rahi thi ki aage kya hota hai.
Maine uske sawal ko sunke apni saans andar rok li. Kya woh sach mein kuch aisa karne wala tha jo main soch bhi nahi sakti thi? Mera dil zor se dhadakne laga aur main bas uski aankhon mein dekhti rahi bina kuch bole. Ek lambi chuppi chha gayi room mein jismein sirf fan ki awaaz aur bahar se aati hui halki si gaadiyon ki awaaz sunayi de rahi thi. Rahul bhi chup tha lekin uski nazar meri taraf se hat nahi rahi thi. Woh nazar itni gehri thi ki main andar se kaanp rahi thi.
Phir ek chhota sa moment aaya jab main apna haath adjust karne lagi toh uska haath mera haath chhoo gaya. Woh touch bilkul accidental tha lekin usmein ek ajeeb si garamahat thi jo meri skin par chalti hui ja rahi thi. Maine jhatke se haath nahi hataya balki dheere se wahi chhod diya. Rahul ne bhi apna haath wahi rakha aur hum dono ek dusre ki taraf dekhte rahe. Koi baat nahi ho rahi thi lekin aankhon mein itni baatein thi ki dil ko rokna mushkil ho raha tha.
“Priya tu theek toh hai na?” usne dheere se poocha uski awaaz mein ek halka sa pause tha. Maine sir hilakar haan kaha lekin andar se sawal badhte ja rahe the. Kya yeh raat hum dono ke liye kuch naya laane wali thi? Main soch rahi thi ki shaadi ke baad yeh pehli baar hum itne kareeb the aur phir bhi itna kuch anjaana lag raha tha. Rahul ne apni chair thodi aur kareeb kar li. Ab hum dono ke beech ki doori kam ho chuki thi. Usne mera chehra dekha aur phir apni aankhein neeche kar li jaise woh bhi soch raha ho ki aage kya bole.
Humne purani baatein shuru ki lekin ab woh baatein private ho gayi thi. Rahul ne bataya ki woh hamesha se mujhse shaadi karna chahta tha lekin ab jab yeh ho gaya toh usko kuch alag sa lag raha tha. Main ne kaha ki mujhe bhi yeh sab naya aur thoda sa darawana lag raha hai. Lekin saath hi ek curiosity thi jo mujhe rok nahi pa rahi thi. Hum dono ke haath ab bhi ek dusre ke paas the. Kabhi kabhi ungliyan touch ho jaati thi aur phir dono chup ho jaate the. Woh chuppi bhi kuch alag hi keh rahi thi.
Maine apni chunni ko thoda adjust kiya toh uska haath phir se mera haath chhoo gaya. Is baar touch thoda lamba raha. Rahul ne aankhein uthakar mujhse seedha contact kiya. Woh nazar itni lambi thi ki main apni saans bhi rok ke baithi rahi. Andar se ek halki si warmth fail rahi thi jo dheere dheere badh rahi thi. Main soch rahi thi ki kya yeh hi woh moment hai jiska intezaar main kar rahi thi. Rahul ne dheere se kaha ki woh mujhse bahut khush hai aur chahta hai ki main bhi khush rahoon. Maine uske haath ko apne haath se dabaya aur kaha ki main bhi uske saath yeh naya safar shuru karne ko taiyaar hoon.
Tension ab dheere dheere badhne lagi. Hum dono bed ke paas aa gaye. Rahul ne light ko aur kam kiya lekin night lamp on chhoda. Room mein halki roshni thi jismein hum dono ki chehre saaf dikh rahe the. Woh mere bilkul saamne baith gaya aur mera chehra apne dono haathon mein le liya. Uske ungliyan meri skin par dheere dheere ghum rahi thi. Main aankhein band karke uska touch feel kar rahi thi. Har touch mein ek naya ehsaas tha jo pehle kabhi nahi hua tha. Rahul ne kaha ki agar main ruk jaaun toh bata dena. Maine sirf haan kaha lekin andar se main chahti thi ki yeh sab aage badhe.
Phir dheere se woh mere aur kareeb aaya. Hum dono ke bodies ek dusre se touch hone lage. Pehle sirf haath phir dheere dheere poora contact. Main uske seene ko apne haath se feel kar rahi thi aur woh mera chehra chhu raha tha. Har movement mein ek hesitation thi lekin saath hi ek attraction jo badhti ja rahi thi. Hum dono ki saansein tez ho rahi thi. Rahul ne mera naam liya aur phir hum dono ek dusre mein kho gaye. Usne mujhe apni baahon mein le liya aur hum dheere dheere ek dusre ke saath adjust hone lage. Har touch mein ek naya sukoon tha. Main andar se ek garam si lahar feel kar rahi thi jo dheere dheere poore sharir mein fail rahi thi.
Woh movement dheere dheere badhi. Hum dono ek dusre ke saath milkar aage badh rahe the. Mujhe ehsaas ho raha tha ki yeh sirf physical nahi balki dil se bhi juda hua tha. Rahul ki aankhein meri aankhon mein thi aur hum dono ek dusre ko samajh rahe the bina kuch bole. Har pal mein ek naya sukoon aa raha tha. Main uske seene par apna sir rakh kar uski dhadkan sun rahi thi jo meri dhadkan ke saath milkar ek ho rahi thi. Dard aur sukoon dono ek saath the lekin dheere dheere sukoon hi jeet raha tha. Hum dono ki bodies ek dusre ke saath poori tarah se juda hue the aur har movement mein ek gehri connection ban rahi thi.
Emotional peak tab aaya jab hum dono ko ehsaas hua ki yeh sirf ek raat nahi balki hamari zindagi ka naya chapter hai. Main ne mehsoos kiya ki main ab akeli nahi hoon. Rahul bhi mujhse juda hua tha jaise hum dono ek ho gaye hon. Pleasure ki lahar dheere dheere badhi aur phir ek gehri si satisfaction aa gayi. Hum dono ek saath us peak par pahunche jahaan sirf sukoon aur pyaar tha. Main uske baahon mein leti hui thi aur uski saans meri skin par pad rahi thi. Woh bhi mujhe tight pakde hue tha.
Baad mein hum dono chup chaap let gaye. Rahul ne mera haath pakda aur kaha ki yeh raat uske liye sabse khubsurat thi. Maine bhi usse kaha ki main bhi aisa hi feel kar rahi hoon. Hum dono ke beech ab koi doori nahi thi. Sirf ek gehri si connection thi jo abhi bhi bani hui thi. Main soch rahi thi ki aage kya hoga lekin abhi ke liye yeh pal kaafi tha. Rahul ne light band ki aur hum dono ek dusre ke paas so gaye. Yeh raat hamari zindagi mein ek naya mod le aayi thi jisse hum dono aur kareeb ho gaye the. Curiosity ab bhi thi lekin saath hi ek sukoon bhi tha jo dil ko bhata tha.
