گھر والوں سے جب بات ہوتی تو کہتے آ جاؤ اب تمہاری شادی کرنی ہے اور میں ہمیشہ انکار کردیتا یا ٹال دیتا مگر آج امی رونے لگ گئی وہی ایموشنل بلیک میلینگ جو شادی کروانے کے لیے اکثر مائیں کرتی ہیں.
میں نے کہا جی ڈھونڈ لے تبھی میری بہن بولی وہ لڑکی جو بھائی اپکا بہت خیال رکھیں آپ کی چھوٹی چھوٹی چیزوں کا دھیان رکھے میری بہن کی بات پر مجھے وہ یاد آئی ایک عرصے کے بعد اس کا خیال آیا آنکھیں بند کر کےسوچنے لگا وہ تمام وقت تمام پہلو...... تبھی خیال آیا وہ مجھ سے محبت کرنے لگ گئی تھی ایک جذبے کے تحت وہ یہ سب کرتی تھی وہیں اپنے خیال کو جھٹکا اور کام کے لیے چلا گیا کچھ دن بعد پاکستان آیا اور ہسپتال جانے کا اتفاق ہوا وہ ڈاکڑ بن رہی تھی بن گئی کہ نہیں یہ نہیں جانتا تھا اچانک اس پہ نظر پڑی جو بالکل اُسی لہجے میں میری امی سے بات کر رہی تھی جس لہجے میں مجھ سے بات کرتی تھی وہ اور زیادہ پیاری ہو گئی تھی یا شاید میں نے اسے بہت عرصہ بعد دیکھا تھا. وہ ہمیشہ کی طرح کالے رنگ میں حسین لگ رہی تھی یا شاید اُس پر کسی محبت نے رنگ چڑھا دیا تھا ابھی انہی سوچوں میں گم تھا کہ اس نے میرے سامنے آکر اُسی انداز میں سلام کیا وہ ہمیشہ ہی بہت خوب صورت انداز میں سلام کرتی تھی اس کے بات کرنے کا انداز کچھ اور ہوتا تھا اور سلام کرنے کا انداز کچھ اور سرسری سی بات ہوئی مگر اس کے چہرے پر چھائے وہ رنگ مجھے بہت سی باتیں سوچنے پر مجبور کر رہے تھے میں نے اسے کہا ہم آرام سے مل کے بات کر سکتے ہیں تو اس نے ایک جگہ بتائی جہاں وہ شاید پڑھاتی تھی کہا کلاس کے ایک گھنٹے پہلے آ جانا میں وہی ہوں گی میں مان گیا کیونکہ میں جانتا تھا وہ کبھی ملنے کے لیے کسی پبلک پلیس پہ نہیں آئے گی. منگل کے روز میں اسے ملنے گیا آج بھی وہ ویسے ہی لگ رہی تھی جیسے ہسپتال میں حال واحوال کے بعد کچھ اور باتیں ہوئی میں نے کچھ شوق انداز میں پوچھا کون ہے وہ جس کی وجہ سے تم پر اتنے رنگ چھا گئے؟ یہ محبت ہی ہے یا پھر کوئی اور راز ہے؟ کس سے محبت ہوگئی میڈم کو؟ وہ شرما گئی اور مسکراتے ہوئے بولی! میرا نکاح ہو چکا ہے اور دو ماہ بعد میری شادی ہے میں نے اُسے مبارک دی اور پھر ہمارے درمیان مختلف باتیں ہونے لگ گئی. باتوں باتوں میں میں نے اس سے پوچھ لیا کہ جذبات تو تمہارے دل میں میرے لیے بھی تھے تبھی تو تمہیں برا لگتا تھا میرا لڑکیوں سے بات کرنا اُن سے فری ہونا انہیں کالز کرنا وغیرہ وہ حیران ہوئی مگر وہ سکون سے جواب دیتے ہوئے بولی!
میں تمھارا خیال رکھتی تھی کیونکہ دوستوں کا فرض ہوتا ہے اپنے دوستوں دوستی کا پہلا اصول ہی اپنے کا خیال رکھنا ہوتا ہے انہیں اُن غلط کاموں سے روکنا ہوتا ہے جو ان کے لیے مشکلات پیدا کرسکتے ہوں. اور باقی رہی جی ایف والی اور فری ہونے والی بات تو تم کسی کے ساتھ بھی سنجیدہ نہیں تھے. اور اگر کوئی تمہارے سنجیدہ ہو جاتی اور تم اُسے چھوڑ دیتے تو اُس لڑکی کا دل دکھتا اور صرف اس لیے تمہیں کہتی تھی چھوڑ دو کیونکہ کیسی کا دل دکھانا گناہ ہے اور میں تمہیں گناہ نہیں کرنے دینا چاہتی تھی اگر تمھارے نزدیک یہ جذبات محبت تھے تو میں اعتراف کرتی ہوں کہ ہاں مجھے تم سے محبت تھی مگر تمھاری سوچ والی محبت نہیں فرض کی ادائیگی والی محبت میرے مطابق والی محبت اتنا کہہ کہ اٹھ گئی میری کلاس کا ٹائم ہوگیا ہے میں چلتی ہوں کہہ کر وہ چل دی اور چلتے چلتے وہ مجھ سے دور ہوگئی اور میں کچھ وقت بعد گھر واپس آ گیا.
اتنا بڑا بیسنس مین ہونے کے باوجود اپنی ذاتی سوچ کی وجہ سے میں نے ایک بہترین دوست کو کھو دیا
اُسکے اُس دن چلے جانے کے بعد مجھے احساس ہوا کہ مرد کی زندگی میں ہر عورت وہی محبت کرنے نہیں آتی جو ہم مرد سوچتے ہیں. کچھ عورتیں ہم جیسے بگڑے ہوئے اپنی سوچ کے کھوکھلے محل تعمیر کرنے والوں مردوں کو سدھارنے کے لیے بھی آتی ہیں
مگر افسوس میں نے اسی دوست کو کھو دیا
اور اس دن کے بعد سے نہ میں کبھی کسی لڑکی سے دوستی کر سکا اور نہ اُسے بھول سکا.

Title: I lost her
Written by: Maria Farooqi:
I had a friend she was so beautiful not only in appearance but also in character. She cared for me even when I slightly unwell, she repeatedly ask me to take medicine, rest, and avoid unnecessary work. I appreciated her concern and sometimes I said to her,
"stay at my place if you're so worried about me.'' She would respond, stop talking nonsense, take care of yourself."
She was my good friend. I used to tell her a lot. It was the era of youth; my interests were also youthful, and it was at the peak. I was goodlooking and handsome. When I made a new girlfriend or a female friend, I would tell her, and she would always tease me. Sometimes she would get quite angry, and she would respond me in teasing manner. I often felt her words like.... she is falling for me. But I didn't want that.... because I had experienced betrayal in love, and I didn't want to deceive her. In actual I don't want to loss my bestie..... I really don't want to stand her in disasters. She was a very kind-hearted girl. That's why I stopped talking to her. Whenever she asked, I would say, "Life is very busy, and there's no time for talks." Whenever she called, I would only answer her questions and not engage in further conversation. Perhaps, she sensed that I didn't want to talk, so she stopped talking to me, and I had no communication with her anymore.
As time passed, I moved to America, and life became busy. In all these years, the thought of her never crossed in my mind. Perhaps, I had forgotten her. But I knew deep down that she would never truly forget me.
Whenever I talked to my family, they would say, "Come to pakistan, it's time for you to get married." I always declined or brushed it aside. But today, my mother started crying, the same emotional blackmail that mothers often use to push their children into marriage.
I said, "Okay, Mom, find a girl for me." That's when my sister spoke up, "For my brother, we'll find a girl who will take care of him, pay attention to the little things for you."
My sister's words reminded me, and after a while, her thought came back to me. I closed my eyes and began to ponder. All moments came into my mind that's we spent together.... But that same that moment, it occurred to my mind that she had started falling for me and due to that emotions, she used to do all this. I pushed aside my thoughts and focused on my work. After a few weeks, I came to Pakistan, and by coincidence i had to go to the hospital with my mother. she were becoming a doctor she bocomes or not, I didn't familiar from that. I were walking in my own attentions andsuddenly, I saw her. She was talking to my mother in the same accent that she used for me. she had become even more beautiful than before..... or maybe I hadn't seen her after a long time, that's why she looked stunning to me. She always looked so beautiful in black dress and that's why she love to use black outfits and due to her black wearing I used to call her by the name of "blacky''...... But may be that was just my baises.... May be love had added color to her life. I had lost in these thoughts, and the same time she came up to me, and say Aslam o aliakum in the same manner as she always did. Her way of speaking about things was different from her demeanor of Salam, We had a short conversation, but those shades on her face were forcing me to think about many things these are engrossing me to ask. I asked to her about meet up somewhere for peaceful talk, and she told me a medical college...... where she might teaching. She told me to come an hour before the class, I agreed, beacuse I knew that... she would never come to a public place to meet.
After a few days I went to meet her on a Tuesday. Today, she still looked very lovely, with those dimples who always make her gorgeous. After some conversations.
I asked in a casual manner, '' Who is he that has brought so much color to your life? Has someone fallen deeply in love with you? Is it love, or is there another secret? After hearing my question, she blushed and, smiling, and said, 'I am nikahfied, and after two month I will be some legal wife..... I was amazed and with casual smile I congratulate her. After this revelation, we talked some other stuff.....In amidst our conversation, I inquired about her feelings, that I sensed she had an emotions for me, which is why she seemed uncomfortable when I talked to other girls, being frank with them, making calls to them..... etc."
She was perplexed but She answered calmly.
I cared you just because of.....
it is the 1st important aspect of friendship to take care of your friend and prevent them from engaging in actions that could cause difficulties for them and the remaining matter about girlfriends and the relationships.... you were never serious with anyone. And if a girl became serious about you, made a claim of love, and you left her, then that girl's heart suffered just like yours did a while ago. I have seen your pain with my own eyes, and I didn't want someone has suffered in those situation because of you. That's why I told you don't to be in a relationship. Let it go...... because hurting someone's heart is a sin, and I didn't want to let you commit that sin. If these all things were love for you, then I confess that yes, I loved you."
But my love wasn't based on your thoughts; it was a love of commitments and then she stand up and said It's time for my class now; I have to go... she left me there and, kept walking, she had gone from my sight...I returned home after some time.
Despite being a successful businessman, I lost a great friend due to my personal mindset.
After that day, I realized that not every girl comes into man's life for that love same we men think. Some women come, despite having a flawed mindset like ours...... to rebuild the crumbling palaces of their thoughts. Unfortunately, I lost that friend, and since that day, I have neither been able to be friends with any girl nor forget her. But still
"I lost her...... "
