Maine kabhi kisi ko nahi bataya… Par last year, raat ke almost 1:30 baje, main terrace pe cigarette pine gaya tha. Neeche parking side se aawaz aa rahi thi. Pehle laga koi kutte ka jhagda hai, lekin jab main edge pe jaake dekha toh… Society ka guard, wahi jo hamesha gate pe baitha rehta hai, meri neighbour aunty ke saath khada tha. Un dono ke beech kuch serious baat ho rahi thi. Aunty ka face bilkul pale tha, jaise kisi ne usko dhamki de di ho. Guard uske haath se kuch paper ya envelope le raha tha, phir usne apni pocket mein rakh liya. Aunty ne uska haath pakda aur kuch kaha, lekin guard ne uska haath jhatak diya. Phir dono chupke se alag ho gaye. Guard apni cabin mein chala gaya, aunty apne flat ki taraf. Main wahan paththar ban ke khada raha. Dil zor zor se dhadak raha tha. Uske baad se main un dono ko alag nazar se dekhta hoon. Kabhi-kabhi guard aunty ke flat ke paas der tak ghumta rehta hai. Kabhi aunty usko gate pe khade karke kuch deti hai, lekin jaldi se. Maine aaj tak kisi ko nahi bataya. Na apne ghar walon ko, na kisi dost ko.
