Andhera Aaina Jahan Reflection Zinda Hai
Mera naam Rivan hai, aur main tumhe ek aisi kahani sunane ja raha hoon jo sirf kahani nahi hai. Yeh ek zakham hai, jo suna toh jaa sakta hai, lekin samjha nahi jaata. Aur jo ek baar sun le, uske sapne uske nahi rehte.
Yeh sab kuch ek purane haweli se shuru hua, jahan main aur mere 3 dost gaye the — Neil, Aadi, aur Zoya. Humne suna tha ke woh jagah shraapit hai, lekin hum urban legend samajh ke gaye. Mujhe yaad hai, raat ke 1:14 baje hum uss haweli ke andar gaye the. Aur 1:17 pe kuch andar hamare andar ghus gaya tha.
Us haweli ke andar sab kuch theek tha, lekin hawa mein kuch tha… jaise waqt ruka hua ho. Har darwaza khula milta, lekin andar kuch nahi hota. Phir ek kamra mila, jismein sirf ek cheez thi — ek purana, kala, cracked mirror.
Neil sabse pehle uske paas gaya. Aur usne bola, "Is mirror mein kuch to ajeeb hai." Jab usne dekha, uski aankhen palak nahi jhapak rahi thi. Woh 10 minute tak chup tha. Jab humne usse kheench ke alag kiya, uske naak se khoon aa raha tha. Usne sirf ek line boli — "Woh andar hai."
Humne socha prank hai. But Neil woh Neil nahi raha tha. Uske baad woh bas chup rehta. Na khata, na sota. Zoya ne bola usse psychiatrist ke paas le chalein, lekin jaane se pehle hi woh gayab ho gaya. Uske baad uska kabhi pata nahi chala.
Aadi ne kaha, "Mirror ko todiye." Lekin jaise hi usne haath uthaya, mirror ne uska reflection pakad liya. Uska asli jism gira, lekin reflection mirror ke andar zinda reh gaya. Usne andar se chillaya, lekin awaaz nahi aayi.
Bas Zoya aur main bache. Hum bhaag gaye, lekin door tak jaane ke baad bhi lagta tha ke mirror ka reflection humare peeche chal raha hai. Ghar laut ke Zoya ne mujhe bola, "Rivan, kuch mere peeche se bol raha hai raat ko... ke main andar se khali ho chuki hoon."
Ek raat mujhe bhi awaaz aayi. Woh mere sapnon mein aaya. Mirror. Usne bola, "Tu sirf dekhta nahi... tu andar jaa chuka hai." Mujhe laga main pagal ho gaya hoon. Lekin jab maine apna reflection dekha... usne palak nahi jhapi.
Us din ke baad maine decide kiya, main wapas jaaunga. Wapas uss haweli mein. Zoya mujhe rok rahi thi. "Mat jao Rivan, jo ek baar gaya, woh kabhi nahi lautaa." Par main gaya.
Aur main tumhe yeh sab iss liye bata raha hoon... kyunki main wahan se kab ka laut chuka hoon. Par Zoya keh rahi hai, asli Rivan toh uss mirror ke andar tha.
Toh ab sawal yeh hai... jo tumse yeh kahani keh raha hoon, kya woh main hoon? Ya sirf ek reflection jo kisi aur ke sapne mein ghus gaya hai?
Yeh sirf shuruat thi. Kyunki har kahani ka end hota hai...
Lekin yeh kahani abhi tak end nahi hui.
Kyuki jab tu iss kahani ko poora sun lega...
Toh tu mirror ke paas jaayega.
Aur tujhe lagega... tere reflection ne aankh nahi jhapi.
Aur tab tu samjhega...
Ke woh kahani tujhmein ghus chuki hai.
