Subah ke kareeb 8 baje...
Goenka House mein har taraf chahal-pahal shuru ho chuki thi. Kitchen se nashtay ki khushboo aa rahi thi aur ghar ke sabhi log apne-apne kaam mein lage hue the.
Lekin...
Kartik aur Naira ke kamre mein abhi bhi sukoon chhaya hua tha.
Shaadi ke baad ki pehli subah...
Naira gehri neend mein so rahi thi.
Tabhi kamre ka darwaza dheere se khulta hai.
Haath mein do pyare se cups mein garma-garam chai liye Kartik andar aata hai.
Woh kuch pal bas Naira ko dekhta rehta hai.
Uske chehre ki masoomiyat dekhkar uske honton par ek halki si muskaan aa jaati hai.
Kartik (dheere se): "Mrs. Goenka... agar aaj bhi college hota na... toh aapki attendance phir se short ho jaati."
Naira ne neend mein hi halka sa karwat li aur kambal aur bhi upar kheench liya.
Kartik hans padta hai.
Woh side table par chai rakhkar bed ke paas baith jaata hai.
Bahut hi pyaar se uske baalon ko kaan ke peeche karta hai.
Kartik: "Naira... uth jao. Chai thandi ho jayegi."
Naira aankhen malte hue dheere-dheere uthti hai.
Jaise hi uski nazar clock par padti hai...
8:05 AM
Naira ekdum ghabra jaati hai.
Naira: "Oh no! Main itni late kaise uth gayi? Sab log kya sochenge? Mujhe toh sabse pehle uthna chahiye tha."
Woh jaldi se bed se uthne lagti hai.
Lekin Kartik uska haath pakadkar usey rok leta hai.
Kartik (muskurate hue): "Relax, Mrs. Goenka."
Woh chai ka cup uski taraf badhata hai.
Kartik: "Aaj kisi ko impress karne ki zarurat nahi hai. Tum meri wife ho... aur kabhi-kabhi late uthna allowed hai."
Naira hairani se cup leti hai.
Naira: "Yeh chai... kisne banayi?"
Kartik halki si smile ke saath apni taraf ishara karta hai.
Kartik: "Professor sahab ne."
Naira ki aankhon mein pyaar aur hairani dono saaf dikhte hain.
Naira: "Tum... mere liye chai bana kar laaye?"
Kartik: "Haan. Socha meri biwi ki pehli subah thodi special honi chahiye."
Naira ki aankhon mein halki si nami aa jaati hai.
Woh pyaar se Kartik ko dekhti hai.
Naira (muskurate hue): "Agar har subah aisi hogi... toh shayad mujhe roz late uthne ka mann kare."
Dono zor se hans padte hain.
Kartik uske haath mein chai ka cup de deta hai.
Khidki se aati suraj ki pehli kiran un dono ke chehron par padti hai.
Unhe nahi pata tha...
Yeh sirf ek nayi subah nahi...
Unki zindagi ke sabse khoobsurat safar ki pehli subah thi.
