Sannate ki train: Ek Adhoora Gunah[Hindi]

Sannate ki Train: Ek Adhoora Gunah Shehar ki bheed-bhaad se door ek purana aur veeran railway station tha, jahan ki khamoshi sirf din mein ek baar toot-ti thi jab wahan koi train rukti. Station master Ravi wahan pichle das saalon se akela duty kar raha tha. Use sannate ki aadat ho chuki thi, lekin ek baarish wali raat ne sab kuch badal diya. Ek Ajeeb Shuruat Raat ke do baj rahe thae. Aakhri train ja chuki thi, par Ravi ne dekha ki bench par ek bhura leather ka bag chhuta hua hai. Jaise hi usne bag khola, uski rooh kaanp gayi—andar ek khoon se sana chaku tha. Tabhi, station ki purani lights tharthara kar bujh gayeen. Andhere mein use train ki headlight chamakti dikhi. Ravi hairan tha kyunki us waqt kisi train ke aane ka schedule nahi tha. Roshni ke beech, use patriyon par ek nannha ladka khada dikhayi diya. Ravi chillaya, "Hato wahan se!" par ladka hila tak nahi. Train guzri, par bina kisi awaaz ke... jaise wo koi parchhai ho. Ateet ka Saaya Ravi ki aankh khuli toh wo cabin mein tha. Use laga ye sab ek bura sapna tha, lekin farsh par keechad aur khoon ke nishaan seedhe uske cabin ke andar aa rahe thae. Wahin kone mein wahi bag rakha tha aur usme se wahi ladka bahar nikla. Ravi ko sab yaad aane laga. Das saal pehle, isi station par us ladke ke sage bhai aur doston ne milkar use maar diya tha. Ravi ne sab dekha tha, lekin paise ki lalach mein usne apna munh band rakha aur bayaan badal diya. Wo masoom ladka aaj wahi purana hisaab barabar karne aaya tha. Khaufnaak Anth Ladke ne thandi awaaz mein kaha, "Aaj wahi train phir aayegi... aur wo tumhare un doston ko lekar aa rahi hai." Darr ke maare Ravi station se baahar ki taraf bhaga. Andhera itna ghana tha ki use kuch sujh nahi raha tha. Wo keechad mein fisalta raha, girta raha, aur jab wo ruka, toh use ehsaas hua ki wo bhagte-bhagte thik usi jagah aa gaya hai jahan das saal pehle us ladke ki maut hui thi—train ki patriyon par. Achanak ek tez roshni ne use andha kar diya. Ek kaali, dhuein jaisi train uski taraf badh rahi thi. Engine ke sheeshe ke peeche wahi qatil bhai aur dost baithe thae, jo ab rooh ban chuke thae. Ravi ne hatne ki koshish ki, par uske pair patriyon ke beech pathar ban gaye thae. "Nahi!" Ravi ki aakhri cheekh baarish ke shor mein dab gayi. Agli subah, suraj nikla par Ravi ka kahin pata nahi tha. Station par bas wahi bhura bag pada mila, jiske andar Ravi ki vardi aur uski nameplate rakhi thi. Ravi hamesha ke liye us "be-waqt" aane wali train ka musafir ban chuka tha.
