Tamanna ek chanchal aur sapno se bhari ladki thi. Har raat wo chand ko dekh kar sochti, “Kya kahaniyon wali rahasya nagri sach mein hoti hai?”

Poornima ki raat, aasman se ek chamakti roshni uske samne zameen par utari. Uska dil zor-zor se dhadakne laga, par kadam us roshni ki taraf badhte gaye.

Jaise hi Tamanna ne us roshni mein kadam rakha, uske aas-paas ka sansar badal gaya – ek nagri jismein chamakte ped, udte hue deep, aur surili nadhiyaan thi.

Aur wahi, usne pehli baar dekha Aaryan ko – ek rakshak jo shaktishaali aur sundar tha, lekin uski aankhon mein ek udaasi thi.

Aaryan ne Tamanna ko dekh kar kaha:

“Tum aa gayi… hum tumhara intezaar kar rahe the.”

Tamanna ke dil mein ajeeb si garmi thi – jaise ek kahani ab shuru hone wali ho.
