Subah subah Bhubaneswar me halki thandi hawa chal rahi thi. Avantika, ek bold aur confident ladki, apni nayi fancy modern dress pehne ek cafe ke bahar khadi thi. Uski dress ka deep blue color uski tez aankhon ko aur bhi gehra dikha raha tha. Usne apne stylish sunglasses lagaye hue the aur apne lambe baalon ko ek side par rakha tha. Woh kisi ka wait kar rahi thi, uske chehre par halki si muskaan thi jo uske confidence ko aur badha rahi thi.
Achanak, ek bike aakar uske paas ruki. Uss par Rohan baitha tha, thoda nervous dikh raha tha lekin uski aankhein Avantika ko dekh kar chamak rahi thi. Avantika ne apni sunglasses utari aur ek halki si smile di. “Late ho gaye,” usne ek playful tone me kaha. Rohan thoda haklaya, “Woh… traffic…” Avantika hass padi, uski hansi me ek alag hi charm tha. “Koi baat nahi. Chalo, coffee peete hain.” Usne apni baat se Rohan ko thoda relax kiya.
Cafe me baithkar unki baatein shuru hui. Avantika har topic par apni strong opinion rakhti thi, lekin uske baat karne ka andaaz aisa tha ki Rohan uski har baat sunna chahta tha. Rohan thoda sharmila tha, lekin Avantika usse aise sawal puch rahi thi ki woh bhi apne dil ki baatein kholne laga. Un dono ki personality alag thi, lekin kahin na kahin unke beech ek connection ban raha tha. Avantika ki boldness Rohan ko achchi lag rahi thi aur Rohan ki simplicity Avantika ko attract kar rahi thi.
Jab woh cafe se bahar nikle toh shaam ho chuki thi. Hawa me halki si nami thi. Avantika ne achanak Rohan ka haath pakad liya. Rohan thoda chounka, lekin usne apna haath nahi chhudaya. Avantika ne uski aankhon me dekha aur kaha, “Mujhe tumhare saath aur time bitana achha lagega.” Rohan ke chehre par ek badi si smile aa gayi. Uss pal ki shaam un dono ke liye aur bhi romantic ho gayi.
