Part 1 – Pehli Mulaqat
Lahore ka sheher kabhi nahi sota. Raat ke barah baj chuke thay, lekin galiyon mein abhi bhi rickshaw ki awaazon, chai walon ki cheekh pukar aur door se aati police siren ki goonj sunai de rahi thi. Har kona aise lagta tha jaise uske paas koi adhura raaz chhupa ho.
Aiman, jo chand mahine pehle apne chhote se gaon se Lahore ayi thi, ek chhoti si coffee shop ke kone mein baithi thi. Uske samne ek purana notebook aur dusri taraf ek second-hand camera padha tha. Journalism uska shauq nahi, uska junoon tha.
Log kehte thay:
> *“Aiman, aurat ko in kaamon se door rehna chahiye.”*
Magar Aiman ke liye ye sirf career nahi tha — ye uski zindagi ka mission tha. Usse sach talashna tha, chahe uske liye use andheron ka safar kyun na karna padta.
Tabhi uski mulaqat Haider se hui. Kaali coat, gehri aankhen aur chehre par ek aisa raaz jo usne pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha. Usne sirf ek lafz kaha:
> *“Tum sach dhoondh rahi ho? Ya mohabbat?”*
Aur phir bina jawab sune wo chal diya…

Part 2 – Haweli Ka Pehla Raaz
Dariwaza cheekhta hua khula aur Aiman ne apna pehla qadam haweli ke andar rakha. Andhera itna gehra tha ke camera ki flashlight bhi bas kuch hi foot door tak roshni dal pa rahi thi.
Haweli ki deewaron par purane naqsh aur murjhaye hue rang abhi bhi zinda lag rahe thay. Jaise kisi ne inhe abhi kal hi banaya ho. Chhat se makriyon ke jaale latak rahe thay, aur hawa me se mitti aur booti hui lakri ki boo aa rahi thi.
Aiman ne apna notebook khola aur likhna shuru kiya:
> *“Haweli ke andar waqt ruka hua hai. Har kona aise lagta hai jaise kisi ke qadmon ki aahat ka intezar kar raha ho.”*
Jab usne seedhiyan chadni shuru ki, to achanak uske camera ka flash apne aap chal pada — bina button dabaye. Screen par jo tasveer bani, usme ek **safed saaya** seedhiyon ke upar khara tha.
Aiman ki saans ruk gayi. Usne palat kar dekha… lekin wahan koi nahi tha.
Isi dauran, peeche se ek khamosh aahat sunai di. Usne mud kar dekha to Haider dariwaze ke paas khara tha.
> **Haider:** *“Main tumhe roknay aya tha. Ye haweli sirf purane raazon ka ghar nahi… ye zinda logon ke liye kabristan hai.”*
Aiman ne hansi me kaha:
> *“Raaz dhoondhna mera kaam hai, aur tumhari khaufnaak baatein mujhe rok nahi sakti.”*
Lekin agle hi lamhe, haweli ke andar se ek bachay ki cheekh sunai di.
Aiman aur Haider dono ne ek dosray ki taraf dekha… aur bina soche seedhiyan chadh gaye.
