Angel was in her room.She was smiling to  herself and was lost somewhere.Sachin’s face was flashing front of her eyes again and again.The time she spent with him, She was just smiling and thinking about Sachin.

“Kitna acha hai na wo.Mana ki thoda alag hai.Hum jaisa nahi hai par hai bahut acha.ek dum saaf dil. Angel kahin tujhe usse pyar toh nahi ho gaya.Haan pyar hi hoga because jo main uske liye feel karti hoon kisi aur ke liye nahi kiya aaj tak.I should confess my feelings.” She smiled while hugging cushion tight.Her trance was broken by a tap on her shoulder.She lifted her gaze and found Vineet there.She just smiled.

“Sachin ke bare mein soch rahi hai?” He asked.

“I am in love with him..” Angel said with open arms.

“Are you sure?” Vineet asked thoughtfully.

Angel gazed at him questioningly.

“I mean he is different.Hum aur wo bahut alag hai.Will you adjust with him?” Vineet asked.

“I love Sachin. I know Easy nahi hoga but hum dono agar try karenge toh ho jayega.” Angel said with a smile.

“Then wishing you good luck.” Vineet kissed on her forehead.Angel smiled and side hugged him.

…..

Here in forest, Sachin was sitting at favorite spot. He was in deep thoughts.He was throwing pebbles in pond and was  thinking about Angel.

“Ladki toh achi hai. Aur kitni pyari baatein karti hai.Mann karta hai unki baatein sara din sunte rahein. Aur itni masoomiyat aaj tak kahin nahi dekhi.” He was thinking.

“Humein unse pyar ho hi gaya.kabhi nahi socha tha ki hum bhi is mohabbat ke mareej ban jayenge. Par kya yeh sahi hai? Humein unse dur hi rehna chahiye.Yahi sahi hoga hamare liye bhi aur unke liye bhi.”

He thought.He sighed and turned his face but surprised to see Ruhana sitting beside him.

“Angel ke bare mein soch rahe hai na?” She asked.

Sachin simply nodded.

“Dekhiye Sachin, Mana ki wo achi hai.Bakiyo jaisi nahi hai par unka aur hamara koi mel nahi hai.Aap unse dur rahiye warna anjaam aap bhi jante hai.” Ruhana tried to make him understand.

“ Aap sahi keh rahi hai par hum is dil ka kya kare.btayiye.Ismein unke liye pyar hai.Aur hum yeh jhutla nahi sakte na hi ise chhipa sakte hai.” Sachin said.

Ruhana sighed dejectedly.” Rani maa ko pata chala toh.” A fear was shown in her eyes.

“Wo hamari maa hai.Wo zaroor humein samjhegi.” Sachin had a hope in his eyes. Ruhana sighed.

They sat there for some more time..

….

In evening, Angel was walking in jungle aimlessly. She was tired and irritated, still moving ahead without any aim.She reached near same river and sat at the shore sadly.

“yun toh sara din yahun ghunta rehta hai jab zaroorat hai toh janab gayab.huh!!” Angel was mumbling in anger.She sat there for few hours in the wait of Sachin.But he didn’t arrive.So she stood up and moved back sadly.Her eyes were moist.

“Hamesha yahi baithe rehte ho..Aaj milne aayi toh aaye hi nahi.5 ghante se baithi hoon.” She was walking while sobbing.

She heard some footsteps.She scared to hell as she sensed following her.She checked behind but saw no one.She relaxed bit and moved ahead.But She could clearly hear some footsteps just behind her.She started sweating.She didn’t have courage to look back.She sighed deeply and started running.After a long run She dashed to someone.She closed her eyes in fear.

“Please mujhe kuch mat karna.” She mumbled with closed eyes.

Someone tapped her cheek...

"Angel hum hai, Sachin. Aap itna ghabrayi kyun hai?” He asked. Angel took a relieved sigh to see him.She hugged him tight.

“Thank god tum aa gaye..I was scared.Koi tha mujhe follow kar raha tha.” She said with heavy breathes..

Sachin gave her a look.” Aap se kitne baar kaha hai Aap us taraf mat jaiye.Toh kyun gayi aap.Kuch ho jata toh.” He said bit rudely while clutching her arm tightly.She flinched with pain.

“Sachin mera hath chhodo.Dard ho raha hai.” She said with moist eyes.

Sachin realised her pain and his anger.Hr left her arm.

“Wo.. Wahan khatra hai.Aur hum nahi chahte ki aapke sath kucg bhu galat ho.” Sachin said while cupping her face.

Angel hugged him instantly.

" Main toh bas tumse milne aayi thi.Tum hamesha wahin milte ho. Toh tumhe dhundhte dhundhte wahan chali gayi.” She said.

“Par aap humein kyun dhundh rahi thi?” Hr asked.

“Because I want to tell you something.I want to confess my feelings.” Angel said while tightening grip around him.

“Dekhiye aap kya keh rahi hai.Humein kuvh samajh nahi aa raha.” Sachin said confusedly while separating from her.

Angel smiled.” I love you idiot.”She said while cupping his face.

Sachin raised his eyebrows in confusion.” Matlab?” He asked

Angel ruffled his hairs.” Main tumse pyar karti hoon bahut bahut bahut bahut pyar.” She said while twirling around.

He smiled.”Hum bhi toh aapse pyar karte hai.” Sachin said.She stopped hearing him.She smiled broadly and kissed his cheek.

“I am so happy.Tum bhi mujhse pyar karte ho.” Angel was jumping like kids.Sachin was adoring her.A sweet smile was crept on his face. Someone was watching them with worried expressions.

“Yeh galat hai.Kudrat ke Niyamo ke khilaaf hai..Isse pehle kuch anarth ho humein inhe Samjhana hoga.” Person thought.

It was Ruhana, who was lost thinking about them. She left the place.

“Hamein sachin se baat karni hogi. Wo aisa nahi kar sakte. Unhe unki bhavnaon se khelne ka koi haq nahi hai. Hamein unhe rokna hoga. “ she thought.

She came into reality with a tap on her shoulder. It was sachin..

“aap yahan? “ she asked.

“kyun? Hum nahi aa sakte? “ he asked.

“Hume laga aap vyast honge apni dost ke sath. “ she said.

Sachin smiled… “hum aaj bahut khush hai. “ he said.

“Lekin kya aapko lagta hai jo aap kar rahe hai wo sahi hai? “ she asked.

“hum unse pyar karte hai Ruhana. “ he said.

“yeh pyar sahi nahi hai Sachin. Hum mein aur unmein bahut fark hai. “ she said.

“jaante hain. Lekin ye ek sach hai Ruhana. “ he said.

“Us din jab humne unki madad ki thi tab aapne kaha tha hame nahi karna chahiye. Aur ab aap khud wahi kar rahe hai. Rani maa ko toh aapka humse bhi milna nahi pasand, aur jo aap kar rahe hai, wo unhe kaise raas aayega? “ she said.

Sachin sighed… “hum jaante hai hum kya kar rahe hai. “ he said.

Ruhana looked at him… “thik hai. Fir hum kya kahe. Aap samajhdar hai. Par ek baat yaad rakhiyega, ye galat hai. Aapko koi haq nahi unki bhavnaon ke sath khelne ka. Hume khudgarz nahi hona chahiye. “ she said and left leaving sachin in thoughts.
