Unchaai par bani siyah jheel ka paani itna sakat tha jaise koi kaala sheesha ho. Raat ke waqt jab chaand ki pasham-numa roshni paani par padti, to kinaare ke dharakht ajeeb aur scary saaye banate the. Zain ne us raat gaon waalon ki naseehat ko nazar-andaz karne ka faisla kiya.
Paani Ki Satah Par Banti Shaklein
Zain ne jheel ke paas pahunch kar aik chhota sa patthar paani mein phenka. Pehle to koi harakat nahi hui, lekin phir paani ke andar se gahri lehar uthi jo kinaare tak aane ki bajaye markaz mein simatne lagi.
Paani ki satah par ajeeb tarah ki shakal banne lagi jo aahista aahista safed patti ki tarah ubhar rahi thi. Hawa ekdam thandi aur heavy ho gayi.
Gehraiyon Se Aati Hui Dheemi Pukaar
Paani ke neeche se aik aisi aawaaz aayi jaise koi purani lakdi toot rahi ho ya koi bohut door se saans le raha ho. Zain ne qadam peeche hataya lekin us ke boot geeli mitti mein dhas gaye.
Woh cheez paani se bahar nahi aayi, balke us ne Zain ki apni tanhai ko us par zahir kar diya, ek aisa khauf jo zindagi bhaar us ka pechha karne wala tha.
