Sab Kuch Sambhaal Lenge

Sundargram gaon bohot hi shaant aur sunder tha, jahan hariyali aur behtay nadiyon ke beech chhoti si duniya thi. Isi gaon mein Anika aur uska chhota bhai Ravi rehte the. Anika 19 saal ki thi aur Ravi 14 ka. Unke maa-baap ne unhe bade pyaar se paala tha, lekin ek din achanak beemari se unke maa-baap guzar gaye. Dono bhai-behan ke upar zimmedaari ka pahaad toot pada.Anika aur Ravi ne milkar apne maa-baap ki maut ke baad apni zindagi sambhaalne ki koshish ki. Anika ne gaon mein chhote-mote kaam karne shuru kar diye, aur Ravi bhi thoda bahut paisa kamaane ke liye chhote kaam karta. Dono mil kar kisi tarah guzaara kar rahe the. Bhale hi unke paas zyada kuch na tha, lekin dono ek doosre ke saath the.Anika zyada badi thi, isliye zyada zimmedaari usne uthai. Woh ghar ka saara kaam karti, khana banati aur Ravi ko school bhejne ki koshish karti. Ravi bhi apni taraf se poori koshish karta. In mushkilon ke beech, dono ke beech ek gehri dosti aur pyaar ka rishta ban gaya. Woh sirf bhai-behan nahi rahe, woh ek doosre ke sab kuch ban gaye.Saalo beet gaye aur unka rishta aur mazboot hota gaya. Anika ko paas ke shehar mein ek company mein secretary ki naukri mil gayi, aur Ravi ne uski madad se apni padhai poori ki. Ravi ko 17 saal ki umar mein ussi company mein entry-level ka job mil gaya jahan Anika kaam karti thi. Ab dono full-time kaam karte aur ek chhote se apartment mein saath rehte.Ek shaam, bohot thakaane ke baad, dono apne apartment ke balcony mein chai pee rahe the. Suraj dhal raha tha aur poora shehar narangi roshni se bhar gaya tha. Ravi ne Anika ki taraf dekha aur apne dil ki baat kehne ka faisla kiya.”Di,” Ravi ne halki awaz mein shuru kiya, “mujhe nahi pata main aapke bina kya karta. Aapne mujhe hamesha sambhaala hai.”Anika muskurayi, uski aankhen pyaar se bhar gayi. “Ravi, humare paas ek doosre ke siwa kuch nahi hai. Hum isliye yahan tak aaye hain kyunki hum saath hain.”Ravi ne uska haath pakad liya. “Anika, yeh sirf usse zyada hai. Mujhe samajh aaya hai ki… main aapse pyaar karta hoon. Sirf bhai ki tarah nahi. Main sach mein aapse pyaar karta hoon.”Anika ki saans ruk gayi. Usne bhi waise hi mehsoos kiya tha lekin usne kabhi maan nahi kiya. Duniya kabhi bhi unke pyaar ko nahi samjhegi. Lekin Ravi ki sachchi aankhon mein dekhkar, usne jaan liya ki unka pyaar sachha aur pavitra hai, dukh aur sahare se paida hua.Anika ki aankhon mein aansu aa gaye. “Main bhi tumse pyaar karti hoon, Ravi. Sabse zyada. Hum itna kuch saath mein jheele hain. Tum meri duniya ho.”Unke pyaar ka izhaar ek mod tha. Unhone faisla kiya ki apne rishton ko raaz rakhenge, jaante hue ki samaj unhe kabhi accept nahi karega. Woh ek doosre ki baahon mein sukoon paate, apne pyaar se har mushkil ka saamna karte.Agle kuch saal jazbaat aur growth se bhare hue the. Dono company mein aage badhne lage. Unka rishta aur gehra hota gaya, jab woh adulthood aur apne rishton ke complexities ko sambhaalte. Har mushkil mein, chahe woh kaam se judi ho ya jazbaati, unhone ek doosre ka saath diya.Ek raat, jab woh bed pe lete hue the, Ravi ne dhire se kaha, “Anika, kya tum kabhi future ke baare mein sochti ho? Agar log humare baare mein jaan gaye toh?”Anika ne thandi saans bhari, Ravi ke seene pe patterns banate hue. “Main sochti hoon. Lekin mujhe lagta hai, jab tak hum saath hain, hum sab kuch face kar sakte hain. Humara pyaar itna strong hai ki sab kuch sambhaal lega. Hum ek aisi zindagi banayenge jahan hum khush aur safe rahenge.”Dono ne mehenti se paise jama kiye aur kuch saalon ke andar ek chhota sa ghar sheher ke kinaare kharid liya. Woh ghar chhota lekin cozy tha, ek jagah jahan unhe koi tang nahi karega. Unhone ek bagicha banaya, jahan phool aur sabzi ugayi, aur ek sanctuary banayi.Unke din hasne aur sukoon se bhare hue the. Woh saath mil kar khana banate, bagicha sambhalte, aur shaam ko movie dekhte. Weekends pe woh aas paas ke pahaadon mein hike pe jaate aur picnic manate. Unka pyaar har guzarate din ke saath badhta gaya, aur unka rishta mazboot hota gaya.Ek shaam, jab woh apne bagiche se suraj dhalte dekh rahe the, Ravi ne Anika ka haath pakad kar pyaar se chooma. “Mere paas tumhare liye kuch hai,” usne kaha, apni pocket se ek chhota box nikalte hue. Box mein ek simple lekin elegant ring thi.”Ravi, yeh bohot khoobsurat hai,” Anika ne dheere se kaha, uski aankhon mein aansu bhar aaye.”Anika, tum meri sab kuch ho. Main apni zindagi tumhare saath bitana chahta hoon. Kya tum mujhse shaadi karogi?”Aansu uske gaalon pe beh rahe the jab usne haan mein sar hilaya. “Haan, Ravi. Haan, main tumse shaadi karungi.”Unhone apne bagiche mein ek chhoti, private ceremony rakhi, jahan unhone ek doosre se vachan aur rings exchange kiye. Woh khushi ka ek pal tha, unke pyaar aur commitment ka saboot. Unhe society ki approval ki zarurat nahi thi; unke paas ek doosre the, aur wahi kaafi tha.Unki zindagi aasan nahi thi. Woh hamesha pakde jaane ka darr le kar jeete the, lekin unke pyaar ne unhe mazboot banaye rakha. Dono mehenti se kaam karte rahe, apni zindagi ko comfortable banate hue. Woh ek doosre ke sapno aur ambitions ko support karte, har success ko celebrate karte aur har failure mein ek doosre ko comfort dete.Ek din, unki company ne ek major project announce kiya, jo naye shehar mein ek team
