College Ki Pehli Mohabbat – Love Story

Ravi jab pehli baar college ke gate ke andar ghusa, uska dil zor-zor se dhadak raha tha. Naya shehar, naye log, aur ek nayi zindagi uska intezaar kar rahi thi. Usne apna bag kandhe par theek kiya aur dheere-dheere classroom ki taraf badhne laga.

Classroom mein ghuste hi uski nazar ek ladki par jaakar ruk gayi. Safed kurti, khule baal, aur aankhon mein ek ajeeb si shanti. Woh apni notebook mein kuch likh rahi thi. Ravi ne pehli baar kisi ko dekh kar aisa mehsoos kiya tha jaise waqt thoda sa ruk gaya ho.

“Yahan baith sakta hoon?” Ravi ne halki si awaaz mein poocha.

Ladki ne upar dekha aur muskura di. “Haan, kyun nahi.”

“Main Ravi… naya admission hai.”

“Main Naina,” usne haath badhaya.

Us din ke baad Ravi har roz college aane laga, sirf padhai ke liye nahi… balki Naina se milne ke liye. Dono saath canteen jaate, library mein baithte, aur kabhi-kabhi bina wajah campus mein ghoomte rehte.

Ek din baarish ho rahi thi. College chhutti ho chuki thi, lekin Ravi aur Naina library ke bahar khade the.

“Tumhe baarish pasand hai?” Ravi ne poocha.

Naina muskuraayi. “Bahut… kyunki baarish mein sab kuch sach lagta hai.”

Ravi kuch der chup raha. Baarish ki boonden zameen par gir rahi thi, aur uska dil ek hi baat kehna chahta tha.

“Naina… mujhe lagta hai main tumhe pasand karta hoon. Shayad… bahut zyada.”

Naina ne seedha uski aankhon mein dekha. Kuch pal ke liye dono chup rahe.

“Ravi… mujhe pata tha,” usne dheere se kaha. “Aur shayad… main bhi tumhe pasand karti hoon.”

Us din Ravi ko laga jaise uski zindagi ki sabse badi khushi mil gayi ho. Dono ki dosti ab mohabbat mein badal chuki thi.

Samay guzarta gaya. Assignments, exams, aur chhoti-chhoti ladaaiyon ke beech unki kahani aur gehri hoti gayi. Ravi har subah Naina ke liye chai lata, aur Naina uske notes complete karwati.

Lekin final year aate-aate sab kuch badalne laga.

Ek din Naina bahut chup thi.

“Kya hua?” Ravi ne poocha.

“Papa ka transfer ho gaya hai… mujhe agle mahine yeh shehar chhodna padega.”

Ravi ka dil jaise ruk gaya. “Itni jaldi?”

Naina ne haan mein sir hila diya.

Aakhri din dono wahi bench par baithe the jahan woh pehli baar saath baithe the. Hawa halki-halki chal rahi thi.

“Ravi, college ki yeh yaadein kabhi nahi bhoolungi,” Naina ne kaha.

Ravi ne muskurane ki koshish ki. “Main bhi nahi.”

Train chalne lagi. Naina khidki ke paas khadi thi aur Ravi platform par.

“Apna khayal rakhna!” Naina ne zor se kaha.

“Tum bhi!” Ravi ne haath hilaaya.

Train dheere-dheere door chali gayi. Ravi wahi khada raha, jab tak train aankhon se ojhal nahi ho gayi.

Saal beet gaye.

Ek din Ravi apne purane college gaya. Sab kuch waisa hi tha — wahi building, wahi canteen, aur wahi bench.

Jaise hi woh bench ke paas pahucha, usne dekha koi wahan baitha hai.

“Naina…?” Ravi ne hairani se kaha.

Naina ne mudkar dekha aur muskura di. “Mujhe pata tha tum zaroor aaoge.”

“Tum… wapas?”

“Papa ka transfer phir se yahin ho gaya,” usne hansi ke saath kaha.

Ravi ki aankhon mein aansu aa gaye, lekin is baar woh khushi ke the.

“Kuch cheezein badal jaati hain,” Naina ne kaha, “lekin pehli mohabbat kabhi nahi badalti.”

Ravi muskuraaya. Usne mehsoos kiya ki kuch kahaniyaan khatam nahi hoti…
Woh bas thodi der ke liye ruk jaati hain.

Aur unki college ki pehli mohabbat… phir se shuru ho gayi. ❤️
