Farewell Speech जो कभी नहीं दी

Farewell party। Final year। Auditorium sajaa hua — balloons, streamers, "We'll Miss You" banner। Main stage par speech dene wala tha — as Student Council President। Speech likhi thi — formal, funny, nostalgic। Perfect farewell speech। Par jab mic haath mein aaya — aur samne Ishita baithi thi, saree mein, aankhon mein aansu — maine likhi hui speech pocket mein rakh di। Aur kuch aur bola: "Main yeh farewell speech Ishita ke liye de raha hoon. Woh nahi jaanti — toh ab jaanegi. First year — fresher's party. Main nervous tha. Stage par gaya quiz mein. Galat jawab diya — sab hanse. Main sharminda. Tab Ishita ne — jo mujhe jaanti bhi nahi thi — taali bajayi. Akeli. Pure auditorium mein ek taali. Mujhe laga — agar ek insaan ne taali bajayi, toh answer itna galat bhi nahi tha. Second year — college trip. Manali. Bus mein seat nahi mili Ishita ke paas — toh main puri trip apni seat se uski taraf dekhta raha. Pathetic? Haan. Par dil tha — dimag nahi. Third year — annual day. Ishita ka dance performance. Main front row mein baitha. Woh stage par. Jab lights bujheen — usne meri taraf dekha aur haath hilaya. Shayad mujhe nahi, peeche kisi ko. Par maine apne aap ko convince kar liya ki mujhe kiya. Fourth year — ab. Farewell. Last chance. Isliye yeh speech. Ishita — tu duniya ki sabse achhi insaan hai. Tere saath baat karne ki himmat kabhi nahi hui — aur aaj bhi nahi hai. Yeh speech teri taraf dekhne ki himmat hai — bus. College khatam ho raha hai. Tujhse kabhi kuch nahi kaha. Yeh regret rahega — zindagi bhar. Par kam se kam aaj — sab ke saamne — itna keh raha hoon: Thank you. Tere hone se college beautiful tha." Auditorium mein silence. Phir — taaliyan. Bohot saari. Main stage se utra. Ishita ke paas gaya — woh ro rahi thi. "Pagal hai tu," usne kaha. "Haan." "Puri speech mein naam le liya mera — poore college ke saamne?" "Haan." "Ab coffee peene chalega?" "...haan?" "Chaar saal late hai tu. Par chalo — better late than never." Us din ke baad — sab badal gaya. Farewell speech jo kabhi officially nahi di gayi — woh meri zindagi ki sabse important speech ban gayi.
