Har group mein ek dost hota hai jo sab ke liye waqt nikalta hai… par jab woh khud udaas ho, toh uske phone pe sirf silence hoti hai.
Main wohi tha.
Mera Naam Kab Ka Chhoot Gaya Tha
College mein sab mujhe “bhai” kehte thay.
Main sab ke assignments banata, birthday gifts plan karta, heartbreaks mein console karta…
Lekin waqt ke sath sab badalte gaye.
Main sirf ek “last seen” ban gaya.
Group photo mein sab thay…
Main bhi tha bas tag nahi hua.
Online Tha, Par Koi “Hi” Nahi Aayi
Pehle toh phone baja karta tha
“Bro, tu free hai? Chal milte hain.”
“Bhai, party karni hai. Tu arrange kar de.”
“Yaar, teri baat sunke acha lagta hai.”
Aaj sirf ek notification aayi:
“We’ve updated our privacy policy.”
Ek Din Neend Mein Roya
Ek din raat ko neend mein ro raha tha maa ne jaga diya:
“Beta theek hai na?”
Main muskura diya,
“Neend mein bas kuch bura sapna dekh liya…”
Lekin wo sapna nahi tha
Wo meri zindagi ka asal tha.
Main akela ho chuka tha.
Woh doston ka group ab bhi active tha sirf main “muted” tha.
Kya Galti Yeh Thi Ke Main Achha Tha?
Kabhi socha hai?
Jo log sabse zyada dete hain… unhein sabse pehle bhool diya jata hai.
Main har kisi ke liye khaas tha
Lekin kisi ka bhi “priority” nahi bana.
“Main bhi kabhi khaas tha…”
“Bas ab yaadon mein bhi naam mushkil se aata hoga.”
Urdu Quote:
"Wo dost banaye the jinke liye waqt ruk jaata tha…
Aaj unke liye main waqt zaya hoon."
Aakhir Mein…
Aaj bhi kabhi kabhi kisi group photo mein tag hota hoon…
Bas background mein, blur.
Log kehte hain:
“Aray tu bhi tha wahan?”
Main kehta hoon:
“Haan… kabhi tha.”
Closing Note:
This was Chapter 4 of The Unsaid Chapters for every soul who gave their best to others and ended up forgotten.
If you're reading this and it reminded you of someone you left behind,
text them today.
Apologies might not fix everything…
But silence always breaks more.
