Rahul pehli baar us sheher me tab aaya jab uski jindagi bilkul sidhi line jaisi ho chuki thi — na upar, na neeche.Bas ek normal si job, Chhota sa kamra, aur bade sapne.....jo kabhi poore nhi ho huye the uski ankhon mein sirf successful hone ke khwab the.
Ek shaam metro station ke bahar usne ek ajeeb sa board dekha:
" Yahan Sapne Kiraye Par Milte Hain.
Ek Raat — ₹499.
Rahul hans pada."Kya marketing idea hai.!"
Lekin board ke neeche ek gali thi — patli, andheri,aur bilkul shhant.
Pata nhi kyun.....par Rahul us gali mein chala gaya.
Sapno ki Dukaan
Gali ke end par ek purani si dukaan thi.
Upar likha tha:
"Dreams & Co"
Andar ghuste hi thandi si hawa lagi.Kamre main sheeshe jar rakhe the. Har jaar ke andhar dhundh jaisi roshni ghoom rahi thi.
Counter ke piche ek budhe aadmi baithe the.
"Kaunsa sapna chahiye?"unhone pucha.
Rahul ne socha mazak hai ."Millionaire Banna hai."
Buddha muskuraya."Premium category ₹999."
Rahul hairaan."Seriusly milta hai kya?"
"Sirf ek Raat ke liye. Subah uthoge sab normal ho jayega. Lekin jo mehsoos karoge...woh asli hoga."
Rahul ne apni jeb dekhi ₹500 the.
"Sabse sasta kaunsa?" Buddhe ne ek. Chhota jar uthaya. "Log tumhe samajhte hain —₹499."
Rahul ne bina soche paise de diye.
