Raat ke 11:30
Station par sirf ek train khadi thi --lights on,par koi announcement nahi.
Maine late ho chuka tha.
Socha jo hai ,usi me chadh jaata hoon.
Train ke andar ghuse hi laga jaise swarg gayab ho gayi ho.
Na engine ki going,na logon ki baat
Sirf wheels ki halki se gati...jaise train khud soch kar chal rah hai
Seats bhari hui this.
Sab seedhe baithe,aankhen saamne --ekdum shaant.
Maine ek khali seat par baith gaya.
Kuch der baad mujhe feel hua....
Trai. Ruk rahi hai,par koi station nahi aaraha
Mobile nikala---network zero
Time dekha ----11:36
Ab dil tez dhadkane laga.
Bagal wali seat par baithe aadmi ne dheere se bola:
"Tum pehli Baar aaye ho,hai na?"
Maine haan me sir hila diya.
Usme aankhen jhukaye rakhi aur bola:
"Is train me log apni marzi se nahi aate."
Main seedha baith gaya.
"Matlab?"poochha chaha...par awaaz hi nahi nikali.
Train achanak slow hui
Bahaar andhera tha- koi station board nahi,koi roshni nahi.
Phir ek awaaz aayu --- speaker se,bilkul normal tone me:
"Yatriyon se nivedan hai...
Jinhone apna destination chhupa rakha hai,
Woh apni seat par hi bane rahen."
Mera haath thanda pad gaya.
Maine kisi ko kuch bataya hi nahi tha.
Bagal wala aadmi uth khada hua.
Jaaye-jaate sirf itna bola:
"Yahan pahunchane se pahle hum sab chup the...
Par pahunchane ke baad,hum yaad aa gaye."
Train phir tez chal padi.
Aur mujhe pehli Baar samjha aaya--
👉Yeh safar kahin pahunchane ke liye nahi tha.
Yeh safar yaad dilane ke liye tha .
