Update 04
Rajat balcony se bahar chala gaya, lekin uska dimaag aur dil ek ajeeb uljhan mein tha. Riti ko aise dekhna, uske wet hair, exposed shoulders, aur graceful presence ne Rajat ko ek alag hi duniya mein le gaya tha. Usne socha, *"Yeh kya ho raha hai mujhe? Riti alag kyun lagti hai? Uske andar ek innocence hai, ek charm hai, jo mujhe uski taraf khinch raha hai. Lekin saath hi, uske saath ek warmth bhi feel karta hoon, jaise uska connection mujhse purana ho."*
Uska body ab bhi us moment ka physical impact feel kar raha tha. *"Main usse chahta hoon,"* usne apne aap se kaha, lekin saath hi guilt ne uske emotions ko aur complicated kar diya.
Dusri taraf, Riti apne room mein baithi thi, lekin uska dimaag Rajat ke expression aur us moment par atka tha. *"Woh mujhe aise kyun dekh raha tha? Woh toh mera beta hai. Lekin ab… ab yeh connection bilkul alag lagta hai. Main kya kar rahi hoon?"* Usne apne aankhon ko band karte hue apne dil ki tez dhadkan ko control karne ki koshish ki, lekin uska mann ab bhi Rajat ke bare mein soch raha tha.
Riti ne decide kiya ki college jaana hi better hoga, taaki uska dimaag clear ho sake. college mein Aryan uska intezaar kar raha tha. Jaise hi usne Riti ko dekha, usne apni usual playful tone mein bola, "Riti, tum toh aaj ekdum alag lag rahi ho. Tumhari smile mujhe aur din banati hai."
Riti ne halki si smile ke saath jawab diya, "Aryan, tum hamesha baatein banana jaante ho."
Aryan ne thoda kareeb aate hue kaha, "Kya karoon? Tumhare saath hoon toh sab kuch special lagta hai." Usne dheere se Riti ka haath pakda aur ek empty classroom ki taraf le gaya.
Riti ne halki si hesitation ke saath poocha, "Kahan le ja rahe ho, Aryan?"
Aryan ne mischievously smile karte hue kaha, "Bas tumhare saath thoda private time spend karna hai."
Classroom ke andar, Aryan ne gently Riti ko apne kareeb kiya aur uske lips pe ek soft kiss kiya. Riti ne pehle toh halki si resist ki, lekin phir usne apne aap ko Aryan ke flow mein chhod diya. Uske lips Aryan ke touch ke saath respond kar rahe the, aur kuch minutes tak dono ke beech ek passionate kiss chala.
Lekin jaise hi Aryan ne apna haath uske uniform ke andar dalne ki koshish ki, Riti turant peeche hat gayi. "Aryan, nahi. Yahan nahi," usne firm tone mein kaha. Aryan ne thoda disappointed hote hue kaha, "Riti, tum hamesha mujhe rokti ho. Main bas tumhare kareeb hona chahta hoon."
Riti ne uski taraf dekha, lekin uska dimaag ab uljhan mein tha. *"Main Aryan ke saath ye moments enjoy karti hoon, lekin Rajat… Rajat ka mere liye ek alag hi impact hai. Ek taraf Aryan ke saath ek naive romance hai, aur dusri taraf Rajat ke saath ek forbidden connection jo mujhe samajh nahi aata."*
Riti apni feelings ko control karne ki koshish karte hue Aryan se thoda door ho gayi. "Aryan, mujhe abhi kuch samajhne ka time chahiye. Tum samjho, please," usne kaha aur classroom se bahar chali gayi.
Uska dimaag abhi bhi dono connections ke beech phasa hua tha. Ek taraf Aryan ke saath young love tha, jo playful aur exciting lagta tha. Dusri taraf Rajat ke saath ek strong attraction tha, jo uske emotions ko deeply shake kar raha tha. Riti ne apne aap se kaha, *"Mujhe samajhna hoga ki main kya chahti hoon. Ye dono connections meri life ko aur complicated kar rahe hain."* Usne apne dil aur dimaag ke beech ka yeh struggle carry karte hue apne din ko aage badhaya.
Riti ne college se ghar aate hi apna bag rakh diya aur seedha apne room mein chali gayi. Uska dimaag Aryan ke saath guzare moments aur Rajat ke unexpected attraction ke beech phasa hua tha. Woh confusion aur guilt se bhar chuki thi. Thoda relax hone ke liye usne apne room ka door khola aur balcony mein baith gayi, lekin ek ajeeb si bechaini ab bhi uske andar thi.
Tabhi Naina uske room mein aayi aur ek teasing smile ke saath uski taraf dekha. "Kya baat hai, madam? Tumhari shakal se lag raha hai ki tumhare dimaag mein kuch bada drama chal raha hai," Naina boli.
Riti ne apni aankhein jhuka kar kaha, "Didi, mujhe samajh nahi aa raha ki main kya kar rahi hoon. Mere emotions ekdum ulte-pulte ho gaye hain."
Naina ne uske paas baith kar kaha, "Pehle mujhe batao, tumhe kya feel ho raha hai. Mujhe laga tha tum Aryan ke saath khush ho, phir yeh sudden uljhan kahan se aa gayi?"
Riti ne halki si hesitation ke baad sab kuch Naina ko bata diya—Aryan ke saath moments, Rajat ke saath attraction, aur uska guilt ki woh apne purane self se kitni door ho gayi hai. Uske baatein sunte hi Naina ne ek mischievous smile ke saath kaha, "Arre wah, tum toh full-on drama queen ban gayi ho. Tumhe pata hai na, yeh life tumhare liye ek nayi shuruaat ho sakti hai?"
Riti ne narazgi ke saath kaha, "Didi, main serious hoon. Mujhe lagta hai ki main apne decisions galat le rahi hoon. Aryan ke saath mujhe ek naive romance feel hota hai, lekin Rajat… uska presence mujhe kaise impact karta hai, yeh main samajh nahi pa rahi."
Naina ne gently uska haath pakad kar kaha, "Riti, tumhari life ek alag phase mein hai. Aryan ek thrill hai, ek young excitement. Lekin Rajat… uska connection tumhare saath deep hai, chahe tum usse accept karo ya nahi. Tumhe bas yeh samajhna hai ki tum kis ke saath apna future imagine kar sakti ho."
Riti ne halki si udasi ke saath kaha, "Mujhe lagta hai ki main apne purane self ko betray kar rahi hoon. Ek sanskari maa jo apne parivaar ke liye jeeti thi, woh ab kis direction mein ja rahi hai?"
Naina ne softly uske shoulder par haath rakha aur kaha, "Riti, tumne apne life ke pichle saal sirf sacrifice kiye hain. Shayad yeh waqt tumhare liye hai ki tum apne emotions aur desires ko samjho. Lekin decision tumhe carefully lena hoga. Kya Aryan sirf ek phase hai? Ya Rajat ke saath ek real connection hai?"
Riti ne Naina ki baat ko samajhne ki koshish ki, lekin uska dil ab bhi uljhanon mein tha. Usne apne phone ko uthaya aur apne husband ka number dial kiya. Kaafi saalon baad dono baat kar rahe the.
"Hello," usne slightly shaky voice mein kaha.
"Riti, itni der baad tumhara call! Sab theek hai na?" uske husband ne concern ke saath poocha.
Riti ka dil bhar aaya. "Sab kuch theek hai," usne kaha, lekin phir uski awaaz toot gayi. "Main tumse ek baat share karna chahti hoon."
Usne apne husband ko apne naye life ke baare mein, Aryan ke saath moments, aur Rajat ke unexpected attraction ke baare mein sab bata diya. Uski awaaz rooh se bhar chuki thi, "Main kya kar rahi hoon? Main kaise itni badal gayi hoon?"
Uska husband ek pal ke liye silent raha, lekin phir usne calmly kaha, "Riti, tum badal gayi ho, lekin yeh buri baat nahi hai. Tumhare andar naye experiences aur naye emotions hain. Main tumhe judge nahi kar raha. Lekin ek baat zarur kahunga—apna decision wisely lena. Thrill ke liye apni values ko compromise mat karna. Tum jo chahti ho, usse samajhne ke liye apne dil aur dimaag ko time do."
Riti ne rone ke baad halka sa relax feel kiya. "Tum ab bhi mujhe samajhte ho," usne softly kaha.
Uske husband ne halki si muskaan ke saath jawab diya, "Main hamesha tumhe samjhta hoon, Riti. Lekin ab tumhe apne emotions ka answer khud dhundhna hoga."
Call khatam karne ke baad, Riti thoda better feel kar rahi thi, lekin uske dimaag mein ab bhi ek storm tha. *"Aryan ek thrill hai, lekin Rajat… Rajat ke saath ek connection hai jo main ignore nahi kar sakti,"* usne socha. Usne apne dil se ek baar aur poocha, *"Mujhe kya chahiye? Kis ke saath mera future safe aur fulfilling hoga?"*
Riti apne bed par lete hue is uljhan ko samajhne ki koshish karte rahi, lekin uska mann ab bhi jawab dhoond raha tha.
Rohan ne long weekend ka plan banaya tha aur sabko bataya, "Hum Kokan ja rahe hain! Beaches, nature, aur ek perfect villa—sab kuch planned hai. Villa 3BHK hai, toh sabke paas apna-apna room hoga." Sab excited ho gaye, lekin Riti ka excitement alag hi level par tha. Usne apni purani zindagi mein kabhi aise trips nahi kiye the, aur is baar woh bohot eager thi jaane ke liye.
Naina ne uski excitement dekh kar tease karte hue kaha, "Riti, trip ke liye ready ho? Shopping karni padegi, aur is baar kuch bold outfits lena zaroori hai."
Riti ne hesitation ke saath kaha, "Didi, bold outfits? Mujhe nahi lagta ki main woh sab pehen sakti hoon."
Naina ne haskar uska haath pakad liya, "Arre, ab modern bano! Tumhe naye looks try karne chahiye. Tumhara naye avatar sabko shock karega."
Shopping ke dauraan, Naina ne kuch short dresses aur stylish outfits select kiye. Riti sharma rahi thi, lekin Naina ki zidd ke saamne woh kuch nahi kar paayi. "Didi, mujhe ajeeb lag raha hai yeh sab," Riti boli.
Naina ne mazaak karte hue kaha, "Relax, Riti. Tum dekhna, ye dresses pehen kar tumhare confidence mein kitna farak aayega."
Riti ne mann mar kar kapde le liye, lekin andar hi andar woh curious bhi thi ki woh unhe pehen kar kaisi lagegi.
Us raat, jab Riti apne room mein thi, Aryan ka text aaya.
**Aryan:** "Hey, kya kar rahi ho?"
**Riti:** "Bas packing kar rahi hoon."
**Aryan:** "Kahan ja rahi ho? Mujhe toh bola bhi nahi."
**Riti:** "Family ke saath Kokan ja rahi hoon. Weekend trip hai."
Aryan ka mood turant kharab ho gaya. **Aryan:** "Ohh, toh mere saath movie pe nahi jaa sakti, lekin family trip ke liye time hai?"
**Riti:** "Aryan, tum samajhne ki koshish karo. Main pehli baar trip pe ja rahi hoon."
Aryan ka response zyada dramatic tha. **Aryan:** "Mujhe lagta hai tumhare liye main important hi nahi hoon."
Riti gusse mein text karte-karte ruk gayi. Usne phone rakha aur balcony ki taraf chal padi, thoda fresh air lene ke liye. Wahan usne dekha ki Rajat already wahan khada tha, ek calm expression ke saath.
"Hey, tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?" Rajat ne casually poocha.
Riti ne halki si smile ke saath kaha, "Bas thoda mood kharab tha, toh fresh air lene aayi."
Rajat ne uski taraf curious hote hue dekha, "Mood kharab? Lagta hai boyfriend issue chal raha hai."
Riti ne thoda sharmate hue kaha, "Haan, kuch aise hi."
Rajat thoda serious ho gaya. Usne casually bola, "Tum jaisi khoobsurat aur smart ladki ke paas toh boyfriend hoga hi. Lekin jo tumhe upset kare, kya woh deserve karta hai?"
Riti ne awkwardly smile karte hue kaha, "Mujhe nahi pata. Woh bas thoda possessive hai."
Rajat ke mann mein ek ajeeb si feeling thi. Usne casually tease karte hue kaha, "Waise, main sure hoon ki tumhare jitni amazing ladki kisi aur ki nahi ho sakti. Tum bas ek galat phase mein ho."
Riti ne hans kar bola, "Rajat, tum bhi tease karna shuru kar rahe ho kya?"
Rajat ne uski taraf ek warm smile ke saath dekha, "Nahi, bas tumhare mood ko theek karne ki koshish kar raha hoon." Uski presence Riti ke liye comforting lag rahi thi, jaise uska saara gussa aur uljhan khatam ho gaya ho.
Riti ne relaxed hote hue kaha, "Tumhare saath baat karke mujhe hamesha better feel hota hai. Tumhari baatein ekdum simple aur honest lagti hain."
Rajat ne mazaak karte hue kaha, "Agar aisa hai, toh mujhe full-time therapist ban jana chahiye."
Riti zor se hansi, lekin uske dil ke kone mein ek ajeeb si warmth thi. Rajat ka presence uske liye ek alag connection laa raha tha. Woh wapas apne room mein gayi, lekin uska dimaag Rajat ke calm demeanor aur comforting baaton mein atka raha. *"Rajat ke saath baat karna hamesha special lagta hai,"* usne socha, aur ek halki si smile ke saath apne trip ki packing karne lagi.
Villa ke paas ka scenery ekdum mesmerizing tha, ek taraf green hills aur doosri taraf samundar ka shant lekin powerful view. Jaise hi sab log villa ke andar gaye, Riti apni excitement ko chhupa nahi paayi. Usne pehli baar itni grand jagah dekhi thi. Naina teasingly uski taraf dekh kar boli, “Riti, tumhare chehre ka glow dekh kar lagta hai ki tumhe yeh trip bohot special lagne wala hai.”
Riti sharma gayi aur bola, “Haan, didi. Maine kabhi itni sundar jagah nahi dekhi. Yahan ka har view perfect lag raha hai.”
Rajat jo apna luggage le kar andar aa raha tha, usne Riti ki taraf dekha. Aaj usne ek bold sa summer dress pehna tha jo Naina ne shopping ke time zabardasti dilaya tha. Dress ka fabric halki si hawa ke saath move kar raha tha, aur Riti ke exposed shoulders aur graceful figure ne Rajat ko ek pal ke liye stunned kar diya. Uske dil ki dhadkan tez ho gayi. *"Yeh kyun itni khoobsurat lag rahi hai? Mujhse aankhein hata nahi rahi ja rahi,"* usne socha.
Dusri taraf, Riti ne casually Rajat ki taraf dekha. Woh apni t-shirt utar raha tha, aur uska bare chest aur toned abs dekh kar Riti ke andar ek ajeeb si garmi feel hui. *"Main kya soch rahi hoon? Yeh toh mera beta tha... lekin ab... ab woh ek pura grown man lagta hai,"* usne apne aap se kaha, lekin uska chehra sharmahat ke saath laal ho gaya.
Sab log fresh hone ke baad beach par gaye. Naina ne apne classic confident style mein ek kaafi modern swimsuit pehna tha, aur woh apne husband ke saath enjoy kar rahi thi. Riti ne ek simple lekin elegant sundress pehni thi, jo halki si short thi, aur uska beach-ready look usse aur charming bana raha tha. Rajat ne casually shorts aur ek open-button shirt pehna tha, lekin uska athletic physique har kisi ka attention le raha tha.
Pani mein sab enjoy kar rahe the. Riti aur Rajat ek dusre ke paas the, aur dono ek dusre par paani uchhal rahe the. Riti zor se hasti thi jab Rajat uske upar paani dalta, aur woh bhi jawab mein uspar paani fekti thi. Ek pal aaya jab Riti ne Rajat ko surprise karne ke liye uske upar extra paani feka, lekin Rajat ne turant react kiya aur use pakad kar zor se paani mein gira diya.
“Rajat! Tumne mujhe pura bheeg diya,” Riti zor se hansi ke saath boli.
Rajat ne close aate hue teasingly kaha, “Tumne shuru kiya tha, ab sambhalo.”
Jaise hi dono paani mein ek dusre ke kareeb the, unka body contact hua. Rajat ka strong grip aur Riti ka soft touch dono ke liye ek alag hi feeling la raha tha. Riti ne andar hi andar ek ajeeb si tingling sensation feel ki. Uska dil tez dhadak raha tha, aur woh confused thi ki woh is moment ko enjoy kar rahi hai ya ignore karna chahti hai.
Rajat ke liye, Riti ka bheega hua body aur uska sharmahat ke saath hasi karna ekdum mesmerizing tha. *"Yeh itni perfect kyun lag rahi hai? Mujhe lagta hai ki main use dekhte hi dekhte reh sakta hoon,"* usne socha. Lekin usne apne emotions ko chhupate hue ek casual smile di aur bola, “Tumhare upar paani fake bina maza nahi aata.”
Dusri taraf, Naina thoda door se dono ko dekh rahi thi aur hans rahi thi. Usne apne husband se kaha, “Dekho, Riti aur Rajat ek couple ki tarah lag rahe hain. Mujhe lagta hai ki yeh dono ek din close ho jayenge.”
Rohan ne uske tease ko casually liya aur bola, “Tum hamesha sab mein romantic angle dekh leti ho. Enjoy karo na beach.”
Naina ne paani mein jaakar apne baalon ko wet kiya, aur Rajat ki nazar ek second ke liye us par gayi. Lekin uska focus turant Riti par wapas aagaya. Pani se nikalte waqt Riti ke dress ka fabric uske body se chipak gaya tha, aur uske curves aur zyada highlight ho rahe the. Rajat ne ek pal ke liye apni aankhon ko divert karne ki koshish ki, lekin uska mann wapas Riti ke taraf khinch raha tha.
Riti ne Rajat ki nazar ko mehsoos kiya aur sharma ke paani se bahar chali gayi. Lekin andar hi andar woh is naye attraction ko samajhne ki koshish kar rahi thi. *"Kya mujhe Rajat ke saath yeh connection feel karna chahiye? Yeh sab kaise ho raha hai?"* usne apne aap se kaha.
Rajat ne apne andar ek intense feeling ko samajhne ki koshish ki. Woh confuse tha, lekin ek baat clear thi—Riti uske liye sirf ek ordinary ladki nahi thi. Beach ka woh moment dono ke dimaag mein baar-baar ghoom raha tha, aur dono ek alag si uljhan aur excitement ke saath apne rooms ki taraf chale gaye.
Riti aur Rajat beach ke soft sand par walk kar rahe the, samundar ki leharon ki halki awaz aur chandni ki roshni unhe ek alag hi dunia mein le ja rahi thi. Riti ne apne bare pairon se sand ko mehsoos kiya, aur ek halka sa smile uske chehre par tha. Rajat uske paas chalte hue uski taraf dekh raha tha, jaise woh us moment ko bas jeena chahta ho.
"Waise, Riti," Rajat ne casual tone mein shuru kiya, "tumne kabhi socha tha ki tum beach pe aise walk karogi, kisi ke saath?"
Riti ne halka sa hans kar kaha, "Nahi. Pehle kabhi life mein time hi kahan tha mere paas. Sab kuch bas… routine tha."
Rajat ne teasing tone mein kaha, "Aur ab? Tum toh lagta hai life enjoy karna seekh rahi ho. Mujhe toh lagta hai ki tum yahan pehle se belong karti ho."
Riti ne sharmate hue bola, "Mujhe nahi pata… lekin yeh moment special lag raha hai." Uski awaaz mein ek genuine warmth thi.
Rajat ne ek playful smirk ke saath kaha, "Special toh hona hi hai. Tumhare saath hoon, aur tum itni khoobsurat lag rahi ho, toh moment kaise normal ho sakta hai?"
Riti ne uski taraf dekha, uske compliments sun kar uska chehra laal ho gaya. "Tum hamesha itne flirty hote ho ya sirf mere saath ho?" usne mazaak karte hue pucha.
Rajat ne ek confident tone mein jawab diya, "Sirf tumhare saath, Riti. Tumhare aas-paas hone se sab kuch natural lagta hai. Tumhare saath waqt guzarna… alag hi feel hota hai."
Riti ne ek moment ke liye ruk kar samundar ki taraf dekha. Uska dil tez dhadak raha tha. Usne socha, *"Main yeh sab kaise feel kar rahi hoon? Yeh toh galat hai, lekin phir bhi… yeh itna sahi kyun lag raha hai?"*
Rajat ne dheere se uska haath pakad liya. Pehle toh Riti thoda shock hui, lekin usne apna haath wapas nahi liya. Dono ke haath ek saath bandhe hue the, aur dono ke dil ki dhadkanen sync ho gayi thi.
"Riti," Rajat ne halki si serious tone mein kaha, "tumhare saath waqt guzarke lagta hai ki main bas yahin ruk jaoon. Tumhare saath sab kuch simple aur meaningful lagta hai."
Riti ne uski taraf dekha, uski honesty uske dil ko directly touch kar rahi thi. "Tum itna open kaise ho sakte ho, Rajat? Main toh abhi tak apne emotions samajhne ki koshish kar rahi hoon," usne softly kaha.
Rajat ne ek deep breath liya aur kaha, "Mujhe lagta hai ki jab tumhare saamne woh right person ho, toh apne emotions ko chhupane ka koi matlab nahi hai. Tum woh right person ho, Riti."
Riti ne apni aankhon ko jhuka liya, lekin uska chehra emotions se bhar gaya tha. Woh phir se ek 16 saal ki ladki ki tarah behave kar rahi thi—nervous, excited, aur poore moment mein lost. Usne halka sa muskara kar bola, "Tumhare words kaafi heavy hain, Rajat. Mujhe samajhne ka time chahiye."
Rajat ne uska haath thoda tight pakad kar kaha, "Take your time. Main kahin nahi ja raha. Lekin bas yeh yaad rakhna ki main tumhare saath hoon, hamesha."
Riti ne uske words ko dil se suna, aur us moment mein woh apne aapko completely free feel kar rahi thi. Dono ke beech ek silent understanding ho gaya tha, jaise samundar ki leharon ki awaz unki baatein complete kar rahi ho.
Rajat ne halki si hasi ke saath kaha, "Waise, agar tumhare 'samajhne' mein zyada time lagega, toh main yeh walk extend karne ke liye ready hoon."
Riti ne zor se hans kar kaha, "Tum bas ek excuse dhundh rahe ho mere saath time spend karne ka, hai na?"
Rajat ne playful tone mein bola, "Bilkul. Aur tumhare saath time spend karna, mujhe lagta hai, duniya ka best decision hoga."
Uski baatein sun kar Riti ka sharmahat aur excitement mix ho gaya. Dono us raat beach pe chal rahe the, ek dusre ke haath pakad kar, jaise unka connection unhe kisi aur duniya mein le ja raha ho.
Uska body ab bhi us moment ka physical impact feel kar raha tha. *"Main usse chahta hoon,"* usne apne aap se kaha, lekin saath hi guilt ne uske emotions ko aur complicated kar diya.
Dusri taraf, Riti apne room mein baithi thi, lekin uska dimaag Rajat ke expression aur us moment par atka tha. *"Woh mujhe aise kyun dekh raha tha? Woh toh mera beta hai. Lekin ab… ab yeh connection bilkul alag lagta hai. Main kya kar rahi hoon?"* Usne apne aankhon ko band karte hue apne dil ki tez dhadkan ko control karne ki koshish ki, lekin uska mann ab bhi Rajat ke bare mein soch raha tha.
Riti ne decide kiya ki college jaana hi better hoga, taaki uska dimaag clear ho sake. college mein Aryan uska intezaar kar raha tha. Jaise hi usne Riti ko dekha, usne apni usual playful tone mein bola, "Riti, tum toh aaj ekdum alag lag rahi ho. Tumhari smile mujhe aur din banati hai."
Riti ne halki si smile ke saath jawab diya, "Aryan, tum hamesha baatein banana jaante ho."
Aryan ne thoda kareeb aate hue kaha, "Kya karoon? Tumhare saath hoon toh sab kuch special lagta hai." Usne dheere se Riti ka haath pakda aur ek empty classroom ki taraf le gaya.
Riti ne halki si hesitation ke saath poocha, "Kahan le ja rahe ho, Aryan?"
Aryan ne mischievously smile karte hue kaha, "Bas tumhare saath thoda private time spend karna hai."
Classroom ke andar, Aryan ne gently Riti ko apne kareeb kiya aur uske lips pe ek soft kiss kiya. Riti ne pehle toh halki si resist ki, lekin phir usne apne aap ko Aryan ke flow mein chhod diya. Uske lips Aryan ke touch ke saath respond kar rahe the, aur kuch minutes tak dono ke beech ek passionate kiss chala.
Lekin jaise hi Aryan ne apna haath uske uniform ke andar dalne ki koshish ki, Riti turant peeche hat gayi. "Aryan, nahi. Yahan nahi," usne firm tone mein kaha. Aryan ne thoda disappointed hote hue kaha, "Riti, tum hamesha mujhe rokti ho. Main bas tumhare kareeb hona chahta hoon."
Riti ne uski taraf dekha, lekin uska dimaag ab uljhan mein tha. *"Main Aryan ke saath ye moments enjoy karti hoon, lekin Rajat… Rajat ka mere liye ek alag hi impact hai. Ek taraf Aryan ke saath ek naive romance hai, aur dusri taraf Rajat ke saath ek forbidden connection jo mujhe samajh nahi aata."*
Riti apni feelings ko control karne ki koshish karte hue Aryan se thoda door ho gayi. "Aryan, mujhe abhi kuch samajhne ka time chahiye. Tum samjho, please," usne kaha aur classroom se bahar chali gayi.
Uska dimaag abhi bhi dono connections ke beech phasa hua tha. Ek taraf Aryan ke saath young love tha, jo playful aur exciting lagta tha. Dusri taraf Rajat ke saath ek strong attraction tha, jo uske emotions ko deeply shake kar raha tha. Riti ne apne aap se kaha, *"Mujhe samajhna hoga ki main kya chahti hoon. Ye dono connections meri life ko aur complicated kar rahe hain."* Usne apne dil aur dimaag ke beech ka yeh struggle carry karte hue apne din ko aage badhaya.

Woh confusion aur guilt se bhar chuki thi. Thoda relax hone ke liye usne apne room ka door khola aur balcony mein baith gayi, lekin ek ajeeb si bechaini ab bhi uske andar thi.
Tabhi Naina uske room mein aayi aur ek teasing smile ke saath uski taraf dekha. "Kya baat hai, madam? Tumhari shakal se lag raha hai ki tumhare dimaag mein kuch bada drama chal raha hai," Naina boli.
Riti ne apni aankhein jhuka kar kaha, "Didi, mujhe samajh nahi aa raha ki main kya kar rahi hoon. Mere emotions ekdum ulte-pulte ho gaye hain."
Naina ne uske paas baith kar kaha, "Pehle mujhe batao, tumhe kya feel ho raha hai. Mujhe laga tha tum Aryan ke saath khush ho, phir yeh sudden uljhan kahan se aa gayi?"
Riti ne halki si hesitation ke baad sab kuch Naina ko bata diya—Aryan ke saath moments, Rajat ke saath attraction, aur uska guilt ki woh apne purane self se kitni door ho gayi hai. Uske baatein sunte hi Naina ne ek mischievous smile ke saath kaha, "Arre wah, tum toh full-on drama queen ban gayi ho. Tumhe pata hai na, yeh life tumhare liye ek nayi shuruaat ho sakti hai?"
Riti ne narazgi ke saath kaha, "Didi, main serious hoon. Mujhe lagta hai ki main apne decisions galat le rahi hoon. Aryan ke saath mujhe ek naive romance feel hota hai, lekin Rajat… uska presence mujhe kaise impact karta hai, yeh main samajh nahi pa rahi."
Naina ne gently uska haath pakad kar kaha, "Riti, tumhari life ek alag phase mein hai. Aryan ek thrill hai, ek young excitement. Lekin Rajat… uska connection tumhare saath deep hai, chahe tum usse accept karo ya nahi. Tumhe bas yeh samajhna hai ki tum kis ke saath apna future imagine kar sakti ho."
Riti ne halki si udasi ke saath kaha, "Mujhe lagta hai ki main apne purane self ko betray kar rahi hoon. Ek sanskari maa jo apne parivaar ke liye jeeti thi, woh ab kis direction mein ja rahi hai?"
Naina ne softly uske shoulder par haath rakha aur kaha, "Riti, tumne apne life ke pichle saal sirf sacrifice kiye hain. Shayad yeh waqt tumhare liye hai ki tum apne emotions aur desires ko samjho. Lekin decision tumhe carefully lena hoga. Kya Aryan sirf ek phase hai? Ya Rajat ke saath ek real connection hai?"
Riti ne Naina ki baat ko samajhne ki koshish ki, lekin uska dil ab bhi uljhanon mein tha. Usne apne phone ko uthaya aur apne husband ka number dial kiya. Kaafi saalon baad dono baat kar rahe the.
"Hello," usne slightly shaky voice mein kaha.
"Riti, itni der baad tumhara call! Sab theek hai na?" uske husband ne concern ke saath poocha.
Riti ka dil bhar aaya. "Sab kuch theek hai," usne kaha, lekin phir uski awaaz toot gayi. "Main tumse ek baat share karna chahti hoon."
Usne apne husband ko apne naye life ke baare mein, Aryan ke saath moments, aur Rajat ke unexpected attraction ke baare mein sab bata diya. Uski awaaz rooh se bhar chuki thi, "Main kya kar rahi hoon? Main kaise itni badal gayi hoon?"
Uska husband ek pal ke liye silent raha, lekin phir usne calmly kaha, "Riti, tum badal gayi ho, lekin yeh buri baat nahi hai. Tumhare andar naye experiences aur naye emotions hain. Main tumhe judge nahi kar raha. Lekin ek baat zarur kahunga—apna decision wisely lena. Thrill ke liye apni values ko compromise mat karna. Tum jo chahti ho, usse samajhne ke liye apne dil aur dimaag ko time do."
Riti ne rone ke baad halka sa relax feel kiya. "Tum ab bhi mujhe samajhte ho," usne softly kaha.
Uske husband ne halki si muskaan ke saath jawab diya, "Main hamesha tumhe samjhta hoon, Riti. Lekin ab tumhe apne emotions ka answer khud dhundhna hoga."
Call khatam karne ke baad, Riti thoda better feel kar rahi thi, lekin uske dimaag mein ab bhi ek storm tha. *"Aryan ek thrill hai, lekin Rajat… Rajat ke saath ek connection hai jo main ignore nahi kar sakti,"* usne socha. Usne apne dil se ek baar aur poocha, *"Mujhe kya chahiye? Kis ke saath mera future safe aur fulfilling hoga?"*
Riti apne bed par lete hue is uljhan ko samajhne ki koshish karte rahi, lekin uska mann ab bhi jawab dhoond raha tha.
Rohan ne long weekend ka plan banaya tha aur sabko bataya, "Hum Kokan ja rahe hain! Beaches, nature, aur ek perfect villa—sab kuch planned hai. Villa 3BHK hai, toh sabke paas apna-apna room hoga." Sab excited ho gaye, lekin Riti ka excitement alag hi level par tha. Usne apni purani zindagi mein kabhi aise trips nahi kiye the, aur is baar woh bohot eager thi jaane ke liye.
Naina ne uski excitement dekh kar tease karte hue kaha, "Riti, trip ke liye ready ho? Shopping karni padegi, aur is baar kuch bold outfits lena zaroori hai."
Riti ne hesitation ke saath kaha, "Didi, bold outfits? Mujhe nahi lagta ki main woh sab pehen sakti hoon."
Naina ne haskar uska haath pakad liya, "Arre, ab modern bano! Tumhe naye looks try karne chahiye. Tumhara naye avatar sabko shock karega."
Shopping ke dauraan, Naina ne kuch short dresses aur stylish outfits select kiye. Riti sharma rahi thi, lekin Naina ki zidd ke saamne woh kuch nahi kar paayi. "Didi, mujhe ajeeb lag raha hai yeh sab," Riti boli.
Naina ne mazaak karte hue kaha, "Relax, Riti. Tum dekhna, ye dresses pehen kar tumhare confidence mein kitna farak aayega."
Riti ne mann mar kar kapde le liye, lekin andar hi andar woh curious bhi thi ki woh unhe pehen kar kaisi lagegi.
Us raat, jab Riti apne room mein thi, Aryan ka text aaya.
**Aryan:** "Hey, kya kar rahi ho?"
**Riti:** "Bas packing kar rahi hoon."
**Aryan:** "Kahan ja rahi ho? Mujhe toh bola bhi nahi."
**Riti:** "Family ke saath Kokan ja rahi hoon. Weekend trip hai."
Aryan ka mood turant kharab ho gaya. **Aryan:** "Ohh, toh mere saath movie pe nahi jaa sakti, lekin family trip ke liye time hai?"
**Riti:** "Aryan, tum samajhne ki koshish karo. Main pehli baar trip pe ja rahi hoon."
Aryan ka response zyada dramatic tha. **Aryan:** "Mujhe lagta hai tumhare liye main important hi nahi hoon."
Riti gusse mein text karte-karte ruk gayi. Usne phone rakha aur balcony ki taraf chal padi, thoda fresh air lene ke liye. Wahan usne dekha ki Rajat already wahan khada tha, ek calm expression ke saath.
"Hey, tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?" Rajat ne casually poocha.
Riti ne halki si smile ke saath kaha, "Bas thoda mood kharab tha, toh fresh air lene aayi."
Rajat ne uski taraf curious hote hue dekha, "Mood kharab? Lagta hai boyfriend issue chal raha hai."
Riti ne thoda sharmate hue kaha, "Haan, kuch aise hi."
Rajat thoda serious ho gaya. Usne casually bola, "Tum jaisi khoobsurat aur smart ladki ke paas toh boyfriend hoga hi. Lekin jo tumhe upset kare, kya woh deserve karta hai?"
Riti ne awkwardly smile karte hue kaha, "Mujhe nahi pata. Woh bas thoda possessive hai."
Rajat ke mann mein ek ajeeb si feeling thi. Usne casually tease karte hue kaha, "Waise, main sure hoon ki tumhare jitni amazing ladki kisi aur ki nahi ho sakti. Tum bas ek galat phase mein ho."
Riti ne hans kar bola, "Rajat, tum bhi tease karna shuru kar rahe ho kya?"
Rajat ne uski taraf ek warm smile ke saath dekha, "Nahi, bas tumhare mood ko theek karne ki koshish kar raha hoon." Uski presence Riti ke liye comforting lag rahi thi, jaise uska saara gussa aur uljhan khatam ho gaya ho.
Riti ne relaxed hote hue kaha, "Tumhare saath baat karke mujhe hamesha better feel hota hai. Tumhari baatein ekdum simple aur honest lagti hain."
Rajat ne mazaak karte hue kaha, "Agar aisa hai, toh mujhe full-time therapist ban jana chahiye."
Riti zor se hansi, lekin uske dil ke kone mein ek ajeeb si warmth thi. Rajat ka presence uske liye ek alag connection laa raha tha. Woh wapas apne room mein gayi, lekin uska dimaag Rajat ke calm demeanor aur comforting baaton mein atka raha. *"Rajat ke saath baat karna hamesha special lagta hai,"* usne socha, aur ek halki si smile ke saath apne trip ki packing karne lagi.
Villa ke paas ka scenery ekdum mesmerizing tha, ek taraf green hills aur doosri taraf samundar ka shant lekin powerful view. Jaise hi sab log villa ke andar gaye, Riti apni excitement ko chhupa nahi paayi. Usne pehli baar itni grand jagah dekhi thi. Naina teasingly uski taraf dekh kar boli, “Riti, tumhare chehre ka glow dekh kar lagta hai ki tumhe yeh trip bohot special lagne wala hai.”
Riti sharma gayi aur bola, “Haan, didi. Maine kabhi itni sundar jagah nahi dekhi. Yahan ka har view perfect lag raha hai.”
Rajat jo apna luggage le kar andar aa raha tha, usne Riti ki taraf dekha. Aaj usne ek bold sa summer dress pehna tha jo Naina ne shopping ke time zabardasti dilaya tha. Dress ka fabric halki si hawa ke saath move kar raha tha, aur Riti ke exposed shoulders aur graceful figure ne Rajat ko ek pal ke liye stunned kar diya. Uske dil ki dhadkan tez ho gayi. *"Yeh kyun itni khoobsurat lag rahi hai? Mujhse aankhein hata nahi rahi ja rahi,"* usne socha.
Dusri taraf, Riti ne casually Rajat ki taraf dekha. Woh apni t-shirt utar raha tha, aur uska bare chest aur toned abs dekh kar Riti ke andar ek ajeeb si garmi feel hui. *"Main kya soch rahi hoon? Yeh toh mera beta tha... lekin ab... ab woh ek pura grown man lagta hai,"* usne apne aap se kaha, lekin uska chehra sharmahat ke saath laal ho gaya.
Sab log fresh hone ke baad beach par gaye. Naina ne apne classic confident style mein ek kaafi modern swimsuit pehna tha, aur woh apne husband ke saath enjoy kar rahi thi. Riti ne ek simple lekin elegant sundress pehni thi, jo halki si short thi, aur uska beach-ready look usse aur charming bana raha tha. Rajat ne casually shorts aur ek open-button shirt pehna tha, lekin uska athletic physique har kisi ka attention le raha tha.
Pani mein sab enjoy kar rahe the. Riti aur Rajat ek dusre ke paas the, aur dono ek dusre par paani uchhal rahe the. Riti zor se hasti thi jab Rajat uske upar paani dalta, aur woh bhi jawab mein uspar paani fekti thi. Ek pal aaya jab Riti ne Rajat ko surprise karne ke liye uske upar extra paani feka, lekin Rajat ne turant react kiya aur use pakad kar zor se paani mein gira diya.
“Rajat! Tumne mujhe pura bheeg diya,” Riti zor se hansi ke saath boli.
Rajat ne close aate hue teasingly kaha, “Tumne shuru kiya tha, ab sambhalo.”
Jaise hi dono paani mein ek dusre ke kareeb the, unka body contact hua. Rajat ka strong grip aur Riti ka soft touch dono ke liye ek alag hi feeling la raha tha. Riti ne andar hi andar ek ajeeb si tingling sensation feel ki. Uska dil tez dhadak raha tha, aur woh confused thi ki woh is moment ko enjoy kar rahi hai ya ignore karna chahti hai.
Rajat ke liye, Riti ka bheega hua body aur uska sharmahat ke saath hasi karna ekdum mesmerizing tha. *"Yeh itni perfect kyun lag rahi hai? Mujhe lagta hai ki main use dekhte hi dekhte reh sakta hoon,"* usne socha. Lekin usne apne emotions ko chhupate hue ek casual smile di aur bola, “Tumhare upar paani fake bina maza nahi aata.”
Dusri taraf, Naina thoda door se dono ko dekh rahi thi aur hans rahi thi. Usne apne husband se kaha, “Dekho, Riti aur Rajat ek couple ki tarah lag rahe hain. Mujhe lagta hai ki yeh dono ek din close ho jayenge.”
Rohan ne uske tease ko casually liya aur bola, “Tum hamesha sab mein romantic angle dekh leti ho. Enjoy karo na beach.”
Naina ne paani mein jaakar apne baalon ko wet kiya, aur Rajat ki nazar ek second ke liye us par gayi. Lekin uska focus turant Riti par wapas aagaya. Pani se nikalte waqt Riti ke dress ka fabric uske body se chipak gaya tha, aur uske curves aur zyada highlight ho rahe the. Rajat ne ek pal ke liye apni aankhon ko divert karne ki koshish ki, lekin uska mann wapas Riti ke taraf khinch raha tha.
Riti ne Rajat ki nazar ko mehsoos kiya aur sharma ke paani se bahar chali gayi. Lekin andar hi andar woh is naye attraction ko samajhne ki koshish kar rahi thi. *"Kya mujhe Rajat ke saath yeh connection feel karna chahiye? Yeh sab kaise ho raha hai?"* usne apne aap se kaha.
Rajat ne apne andar ek intense feeling ko samajhne ki koshish ki. Woh confuse tha, lekin ek baat clear thi—Riti uske liye sirf ek ordinary ladki nahi thi. Beach ka woh moment dono ke dimaag mein baar-baar ghoom raha tha, aur dono ek alag si uljhan aur excitement ke saath apne rooms ki taraf chale gaye.
Riti aur Rajat beach ke soft sand par walk kar rahe the, samundar ki leharon ki halki awaz aur chandni ki roshni unhe ek alag hi dunia mein le ja rahi thi. Riti ne apne bare pairon se sand ko mehsoos kiya, aur ek halka sa smile uske chehre par tha. Rajat uske paas chalte hue uski taraf dekh raha tha, jaise woh us moment ko bas jeena chahta ho.
"Waise, Riti," Rajat ne casual tone mein shuru kiya, "tumne kabhi socha tha ki tum beach pe aise walk karogi, kisi ke saath?"
Riti ne halka sa hans kar kaha, "Nahi. Pehle kabhi life mein time hi kahan tha mere paas. Sab kuch bas… routine tha."
Rajat ne teasing tone mein kaha, "Aur ab? Tum toh lagta hai life enjoy karna seekh rahi ho. Mujhe toh lagta hai ki tum yahan pehle se belong karti ho."
Riti ne sharmate hue bola, "Mujhe nahi pata… lekin yeh moment special lag raha hai." Uski awaaz mein ek genuine warmth thi.
Rajat ne ek playful smirk ke saath kaha, "Special toh hona hi hai. Tumhare saath hoon, aur tum itni khoobsurat lag rahi ho, toh moment kaise normal ho sakta hai?"
Riti ne uski taraf dekha, uske compliments sun kar uska chehra laal ho gaya. "Tum hamesha itne flirty hote ho ya sirf mere saath ho?" usne mazaak karte hue pucha.
Rajat ne ek confident tone mein jawab diya, "Sirf tumhare saath, Riti. Tumhare aas-paas hone se sab kuch natural lagta hai. Tumhare saath waqt guzarna… alag hi feel hota hai."
Riti ne ek moment ke liye ruk kar samundar ki taraf dekha. Uska dil tez dhadak raha tha. Usne socha, *"Main yeh sab kaise feel kar rahi hoon? Yeh toh galat hai, lekin phir bhi… yeh itna sahi kyun lag raha hai?"*
Rajat ne dheere se uska haath pakad liya. Pehle toh Riti thoda shock hui, lekin usne apna haath wapas nahi liya. Dono ke haath ek saath bandhe hue the, aur dono ke dil ki dhadkanen sync ho gayi thi.
"Riti," Rajat ne halki si serious tone mein kaha, "tumhare saath waqt guzarke lagta hai ki main bas yahin ruk jaoon. Tumhare saath sab kuch simple aur meaningful lagta hai."
Riti ne uski taraf dekha, uski honesty uske dil ko directly touch kar rahi thi. "Tum itna open kaise ho sakte ho, Rajat? Main toh abhi tak apne emotions samajhne ki koshish kar rahi hoon," usne softly kaha.
Rajat ne ek deep breath liya aur kaha, "Mujhe lagta hai ki jab tumhare saamne woh right person ho, toh apne emotions ko chhupane ka koi matlab nahi hai. Tum woh right person ho, Riti."
Riti ne apni aankhon ko jhuka liya, lekin uska chehra emotions se bhar gaya tha. Woh phir se ek 16 saal ki ladki ki tarah behave kar rahi thi—nervous, excited, aur poore moment mein lost. Usne halka sa muskara kar bola, "Tumhare words kaafi heavy hain, Rajat. Mujhe samajhne ka time chahiye."
Rajat ne uska haath thoda tight pakad kar kaha, "Take your time. Main kahin nahi ja raha. Lekin bas yeh yaad rakhna ki main tumhare saath hoon, hamesha."
Riti ne uske words ko dil se suna, aur us moment mein woh apne aapko completely free feel kar rahi thi. Dono ke beech ek silent understanding ho gaya tha, jaise samundar ki leharon ki awaz unki baatein complete kar rahi ho.
Rajat ne halki si hasi ke saath kaha, "Waise, agar tumhare 'samajhne' mein zyada time lagega, toh main yeh walk extend karne ke liye ready hoon."
Riti ne zor se hans kar kaha, "Tum bas ek excuse dhundh rahe ho mere saath time spend karne ka, hai na?"
Rajat ne playful tone mein bola, "Bilkul. Aur tumhare saath time spend karna, mujhe lagta hai, duniya ka best decision hoga."
Uski baatein sun kar Riti ka sharmahat aur excitement mix ho gaya. Dono us raat beach pe chal rahe the, ek dusre ke haath pakad kar, jaise unka connection unhe kisi aur duniya mein le ja raha ho.
