इससे पहले कि मैं तुम्हें अपनी कहानी सुनाऊँ," जैस्पर ने कहा, "तुम्हें यह समझना होगा कि हमारी दुनिया में ऐसी जगहें हैं, बेला, जहाँ कभी बूढ़े न होने वालों की ज़िंदगी हफ्तों में मापी जाती है, सदियों में नहीं।

Before I tell you my story," Jasper said. "you must understand that there are places in our world, Bella, where the life span of the never-aging is measured in weeks, and not centuries.

जैस्पर मंद-मंद हँसा और अपना सिर हिलाया। "तुम सचमुच एक डरावना सा छोटा राक्षस हो।"

Jasper chuckled, shaking his head. " You truly are one frightening little monster.

एडवर्ड हमेशा एकाग्र रहता था, उन चीज़ों को देखता और सुनता था जिन्हें दूसरे नहीं देख पाते थे।

Edward was always focused, watching and also listening to what others couldn't see.

एडवर्ड ने अपनी बांह फैलाई, उसका हाथ मुट्ठी में भींच गया। सेथ मुस्कुराया, अपने नुकीले दांतों की लंबी कतार दिखाई, और अपनी नाक एडवर्ड के हाथ से रगड़ दी। "बढ़िया टीम वर्क," एडवर्ड ने फुसफुसाया।

Edward stretched out his arm, his hand curled into a fist. Seth grinned, revealing the long row of dagger teeth, and bumped his nose against Edward's hand. "Nice teamwork," Edward murmured.

वह मुझे ज़िंदा रखने की उम्मीद छोड़ रहा था, और सब कुछ प्रकृति—या यों कहें भीड़ के न्याय—पर छोड़ रहा था। जब वह लौटता और मैं मर चुकी होती, तो वह किसी को ज़िम्मेदार नहीं ठहराता। वह शोक नहीं मनाता। यह सब मैं उन तीन शब्दों में सुन सकता था।

He was giving up on keeping me alive, letting nature–or rather mob justice–take its course. When he returned, and I was dead, he wouldn't hold anyone responsible. He would not mourn. All this I could hear in those three words.

कुछ यादें साफ नहीं थीं - धुंधली इंसानी यादें, जो कमज़ोर आँखों से देखी गई थीं और कमज़ोर कानों से सुनी गई थीं: पहली बार जब मैंने उसका चेहरा देखा था... घास के मैदान में जब उसने मुझे बाहों में भरा था तो कैसा महसूस हुआ था... जेम्स से जब उसने मेरी जान बचाई थी, तो मेरे लड़खड़ाते होश के अंधेरे के बीच उसकी आवाज़ गूंजी थी... फूलों की छतरी के नीचे मुझसे शादी करने के इंतज़ार में उसका चेहरा... उस द्वीप पर बिताया हर कीमती पल... मेरे शरीर के आर-पार हमारे बच्चे को छूते उसके ठंडे हाथ।

Some of the memories were not clear - -dim human memories, seen through weak eyes and heard through weak ears: the first time I'd seen his face... the way it felt when he'd held me in the meadow... the sound of his voice through the darkness of my faltering consciousness when he'd save me from James... his face as he waited under a canopy of flowers to marry me... every precious moment on the island... his cold hands touching our baby through my skin.

यह कितनी अजीब बात थी कि यह बात बार-बार मेरे सामने आ रही थी, जैसे हर नई चीज़ एक झटका हो। मैं हैरान होना कब बंद करूँगी?

Funny how it kept hitting me, like each new thing was a surprise. When was I going to stop being surprised?

एडवर्ड की तरह कोई भी शांत नहीं बैठ सकता था।

No one could be still like Edward.

No one could be still like Edward.

तुम्हारे पास ऐसी कोई चीज़ नहीं है। हद है, तुम्हारे पास सिर्फ एक स्कート (स्कर्ट) है!

मुझे अभी से तुम्हारी याद आ रही है, मुझे जाने की ज़रूरत नहीं है। मैं रुक सकती हूँ... म्मम।

I miss you already I don’t need to leave. I can stay. . . . Mmmm.

हालाँकि कोई आवाज़ नहीं हुई, पर एक बदलाव आया था। माहौल, जो मेरे आरोप से तनावपूर्ण हो गया था, अब सहज हो गया था। मैं सोचने लगी कि मुझे यह कैसे पता चला। मुझे एक अजीब सा अहसास हुआ कि मुझे किसी ऐसी चीज़ से संकेत मिल रहा था जो मेरी पाँचों इंद्रियों के दायरे से बाहर था - लगभग ऐसा लगा मानो कोई छठी इंद्रिय जाग रही हो, जो बस पहुँच से थोड़ी ही दूर थी। अंतर्ज्ञान? यह बिल्कुल सही शब्द था। जैसे किसी भी जीव को पाँच से ज़्यादा इंद्रियों की ज़रूरत ही क्यों पड़े।

Though there was no sound, there was a change. The atmosphere, which had gone tense at my accusation, relaxed. I wondered how I knew this. I had a strange sensation that I was somehow receiving more than my five senses were giving me - almost a feeling that there was another sense, on the fringes, not quite harnessed. Intuition? That was almost the right word. As if any creature needed more than five senses.

उसकी शक्ति जेन की जितनी तेज़ नहीं है। यह रेंगती है। कुछ ही सेकंड में यह हम तक पहुँच जाएगी।

मुझे किसी चीज़ की परवाह नहीं है, सिवाय इसके कि वह ज़िंदा रहे। अगर वह बच्चा चाहती है, तो उसे वह मिलेगा। वह आधा दर्जन बच्चे पैदा कर सकती है। जो भी वह चाहे। अगर इसी से बात बनती है, तो वह पिल्ले भी पैदा कर सकती है।

I don’t care about anything but keeping her alive. If it’s a child she wants, she can have it. She can have half a dozen babies. Anything she wants. She can have puppies, if that’s what it takes.

उसे मुझे साफ-साफ देखने दो।

Let her see me clearly.

अपना यह घटिया ड्रामा कहीं और जाकर बेचो--इस चेहरे से बेहतर कुछ हो ही नहीं सकता!

सामान्य तौर पर, बच्चे मुझे कभी पसंद नहीं आए। वे बड़े शोर मचाने वाले जीव लगते थे, जिन पर अक्सर किसी न किसी तरह का चिपचिपा पदार्थ लगा रहता था।

परछाइयाँ उतनी गहरी नहीं लग रही थीं जितनी आमतौर पर होती हैं। ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि मेरा अपना निजी सूरज मेरे साथ था।

बेला, क्या तुम मेरी कहानी सुनना चाहोगे? इसका कोई सुखी अंत नहीं है - पर हम में से किसका अंत सुखी होता है? अगर हमारा अंत सुखी होता, तो आज हम सब कब्रों के नीचे होते।

Would you like to hear my story, Bella? It doesn't have a happy ending - but which of ours does? If we had happy endings, we'd all be under gravestones now.

मैं सोचने लगी—क्या मेरी कनपटी पर गोली चलाना सच में मुझे मार डालेगा या फिर मेरे पीछे साफ-सफाई करने के लिए सिर्फ एक बहुत बड़ा झंझट छोड़ जाएगा?

I wondered – would a bullet through my temple actually kill me or just leave a really big mess for me to clean up?

शायद एडवर्ड, एलिस और जैस्पर की तरह मैं कभी कुछ दिलचस्प या खास नहीं कर पाऊँगी। शायद मैं एडवर्ड से दुनिया के इतिहास में किसी से भी ज़्यादा प्यार करूँगी।

I would probably never be able to do anything interesting or special like Edward, Alice and Jasper could do. Maybe I would just love Edward more than anyone in the history of the world had ever loved anyone else.

हम व्यक्ति को महत्व देते हैं। अगर गहराई से सोचें, तो शायद हम व्यक्ति पर कुछ से ज़्यादा ही ज़ोर देते हैं। अगर अमूर्त रूप से सोचा जाए, तो कितने लोग... मान लीजिए पेज... एंडी को ज़िंदा रखने के लिए कितने लोगों की बलि चढ़ा देगी? अगर आप पूरी मानवता को एक समान मानकर देखेंगे तो इस बात का कोई मतलब नहीं निकलेगा।

We value the individual. We probably put too much emphasis on the individual, if it comes right down to it. How many people, in the abstract, would...let's say Paige....how many people would she sacrifice to keep Andy alive? The answer wouldn't make any sense if you were looking at the whole of humanity as equals.

एक पल के लिए मैं महज़ एक बच्चा था – एक ऐसा बच्चा जिसने अपनी पूरी ज़िंदगी एक ही छोटे से कस्बे में बिताई थी। बस एक बच्चा। क्योंकि मैं जानता था कि एडवर्ड की आँखों में उस झुलसा देने वाले दर्द को समझने के लिए मुझे अभी और बहुत कुछ जीना होगा, बहुत कुछ सहना होगा।

For a second I was just a kid – a kid who had lived all of his life in the same tiny town. Just a child. Because I knew I would have to live a lot more, suffer a lot more, to ever understand the searing agony in Edward’s eyes.

मैंने उसकी तरफ गुस्से से देखा। "शायद मैं अभी न मरूँ... लेकिन कभी न कभी तो मेरी मौत होगी ही। दिन का हर एक मिनट मुझे उसके करीब ले जाता है। और मैं बूढ़ी भी होऊँगी।"

I glared at him. "I may not die now... but I'm going to die sometime. Every minute of the day, I get closer. And I'm going to get old.

यह मेरी ज़िंदगी का एक तरह से दस्तूर बन गया था - जो चीज़ें मेरे बस में नहीं थीं, उनका सामना करने के लिए, दुश्मनों पर हमला करने या उनसे आगे निकलने के लिए, मैं कभी इतनी मज़बूत नहीं रही थी। दर्द से बचने के लिए। हमेशा एक कमज़ोर इंसान होने के नाते, मैं बस एक ही काम कर पाई थी—आगे बढ़ते रहना। सहन करना। टिके रहना।

It was sort of the pattern to my life - I'd never been strong enough to deal with the things outside my control, to attack the enemies or outrun them. To avoid the pain. Always human and weak, the only thing I'd ever been able to do was keep going. Endure. Survive.

अब मैं उसे सच में सराह सकती थी—अपनी इन नई और मज़बूत आँखों से उसके खूबसूरत चेहरे की हर एक खूबसूरत लकीर को, उसके लंबे और बेदाग शरीर को, उसके हर कोने और हर हिस्से को साफ़ देख सकती थी। मैं अपनी ज़ुबान पर उसकी शुद्ध, महकती खुशबू महसूस कर सकती थी और अपनी संवेदनशील उँगलियों के नीचे उसकी संगमरमर जैसी त्वचा की अविश्वसनीय कोमल चिकनाई को महसूस कर सकती थी।

I could really appreciate him now - could properly see every beautiful line of his perfect face, of his long, flawless body with my strong new eyes, every angle and every plane of him. I could taste his pure, vivid scent on my tongue and feel the unbelievable silkiness of his marble skin under my sensitive fingertips.

मेरा पुराना दिमाग इतना सारा प्यार समेटने के काबिल नहीं था। मेरा पुराना दिल इसे सहने के लिए इतना मज़बूत नहीं था। शायद मेरे वजूद का यही वो हिस्सा था जिसे मैं अपनी नई ज़िंदगी में पूरी शिद्दत से जीने के लिए साथ लाई थी। जैसे कार्लिस की करुणा और एस्मे का समर्पण। शायद एडवर्ड, एलिस और जैस्पर की तरह मैं कभी कुछ दिलचस्प या खास नहीं कर पाऊँगी। शायद मैं एडवर्ड से दुनिया के इतिहास में किसी से भी ज़्यादा प्यार करूँगी। मैं इसके साथ जी सकती हूँ।

My old mind hadn’t been capable of holding this much love. My old heart had not been strong enough to bear it. Maybe this was the part of me that I’d brought forward to be intensified in my new life. Like Carlisle’s compassion and Esme’s devotion. I would probably never be able to do anything interesting or special like Edward, Alice, and Jasper could do. Maybe I would just love Edward more than anyone in the history of the world had ever loved anyone else. I could live with that.

ज़ ज़िंदगी और प्यार का सिलसिला यूं ही चलता रहेगा। भले ही यह सब मेरे बिना होगा, पर इस बात से मुझे खुशी मिलती है।

Life and love would go on. Even though it would happen without me, the idea brought me joy.

बारिश थम जाती, और जब ऐसा होता, तो इयान और मैं एक साथ होते, सच्चे अर्थों में एक-दूसरे के हमसफर। यह एक ऐसा वादा और ज़िम्मेदारी थी जो मेरी किसी भी ज़िंदगी में कभी नहीं थी। इसके बारे में सोचते ही मुझे एक साथ खुशी, बेचैनी, झिझक और बेताबी महसूस होने लगती—मुझे ऐसा महसूस कराती जैसे मैं सचमुच एक इंसान हूँ।

The rains would end, and when they did, Ian and I would be together, partners in the truest sense. This was a promise and an obligation I had never had in all my lives. Thinking of it made me feel joyful and anxious and shy and desperately impatient all at the same time—made me feel human.

उसने अपना भार बदला, और ऐसे अपना अच्छा पैर बिस्तर से नीचे लटका दिया जैसे वह खड़े होने की कोशिश करने वाला हो। "तुम क्या कर रहे हो?" मैंने आंसुओं के बीच से पूछा। "लेट जाओ, बेवकूफ हो क्या, चोट लग जाएगी तुम्हें!" मैं झटके से उठ खड़ी हुई और दोनों हाथों से उसके अच्छे कंधे को दबाकर वापस लिटा दिया। वह मान गया और दर्द से आह भरते हुए पीछे की ओर झुक गया, लेकिन उसने मुझे कमर से पकड़कर बिस्तर पर अपनी अच्छी तरफ खींच लिया। मैं वहीं दुबक गई, और उसकी गर्म त्वचा के सहारे अपनी बेवकूफी भरी सिसकियों को दबाने की कोशिश करने लगी।

He shifted his weight, throwing his good leg off the bed as if he were going to try to stand. “What are you doing?” I demanded through the tears. “Lie down, you idiot, you’ll hurt yourself!” I jumped to my feet and pushed his good shoulder down with two hands. He surrendered, leaning back with a gasp of pain, but he grabbed me around my waist and pulled me down on the bed, against his good side. I curled up there, trying to stifle the silly sobs against his hot skin.

कृपया भागो मत। और, उम, मैं चाहूँगा कि तुम मुझे फिर से लात न मारो।

Please don't run away. And, um, I'd rather you didn't kick me again either.

Please don't run away. And, um, I'd rather you didn't kick me again either.

मैंने अपने बिस्तर के पास वाला लैंप जलाया, अपनी सांसों को धीमा होने का इंतज़ार करते हुए, वह सपना इतना असली था कि मेरी नसों में अभी भी एड्रेनाफ़ाइन दौड़ रहा था। एक नया सपना, लेकिन असलियत में उन तमाम सपनों जैसा ही जो पिछले महीनों में मुझे परेशान करते रहे थे। नहीं, कोई सपना नहीं। यकीनन यह कोई पुरानी याद थी। मैं अभी भी जेरेड के होठों की गर्माहट अपने होठों पर महसूस कर सकती थी। मेरे हाथ बिना मेरी इजाज़त के आगे बढ़े, सिकुड़ी हुई चादरों को टटोलने लगे, किसी ऐसी चीज़ की तलाश में जो वहाँ थी ही नहीं। जब वे निराश होकर खाली हाथ बिस्तर पर बेजान होकर गिर पड़े, तो मेरा दिल कसैले दर्द से भर गया।

I flicked on the light beside my bed, waiting for my breathing to slow, veins full of adrenaline from the realistic dream. A new dream, but in essence so much the same as the many others that had plagued me in the past months. No, not a dream. Surely a memory. I could still feel the heat of Jared's lips on mine. My hands reached out without my permission, searching across the rumpled sheets, looking for something they didn't find. My heart ached when they gave up, falling to the bed limp and empty.

मैं उन्हें नीचे की मंजिल पर सुन सकती हूँ। वे मुझे मिनटों या सेकंडों में ढूंढ लेंगे। मैं अखबार के एक गंदे टुकड़े पर कुछ शब्द खरोंच देती हूँ। वे लगभग पढ़ने लायक नहीं हैं, लेकिन अगर वह उन्हें पा लेता है, तो समझ जाएगा: 'काफी तेज़ नहीं था। तुमसे प्यार करती हूँ, जैमी से प्यार करती हूँ। घर मत जाना' मैं न सिर्फ उनके दिल तोड़ती हूँ, बल्कि उनकी पनाहगाह भी छीन लेती हूँ। मैं अपनी छोटी सी घाटी को वीरान देखती हूँ, जैसा कि अब उसे हमेशा के लिए होना ही है। या अगर वीरान नहीं, तो किसी कब्र जैसी।

I can hear them on the floor below. They will find me in miuntes, or seconds. I scrawl the words on a dirty shred of newsprint. They are nearly illegible, but if he finds them, he will understand: 'Not fast enough. Love you love Jamie. Don't go home' Not only do I break their hearts, I steal their refuge, too. I picture our little canyon abandoned, as it must be forever now. Or if not abandoned, a tomb.

सुनो, खुद को खत्म करना बस बंद करो, ठीक है? क्योंकि अगर मुझे लगा कि तुम ऐसा कर सकती हो, तो मैं आज ही डॉक्टर से कहकर मुझे यहाँ से बाहर निकलवा दूँगा। या फिर मैं जेरेड को बता दूँगा। ज़रा सोचो वो क्या करेगा। मैंने उसके आंसुओं के बीच थोड़ा मुस्कुराते हुए उसके लिए यह सब कल्पना की। याद है? उसने कहा था कि तुम्हें यहाँ रोकने के लिए वह क्या करेगा और क्या नहीं, इसकी कोई गारंटी नहीं है। हॉल में हुए उन सुलगती हुई यादों को मैंने याद किया... उसकी याददाश्त में बसे दूसरे चुंबनों और रातों के बारे में सोचा। शर्म से मेरा चेहरा तमतमा उठा। तुम बहुत गंदे तरीके से लड़ते हो। शर्त लगा लो कि मैं ऐसा ही करता हूँ।

Look, just stop trying to annihilate yourself, okay? Because if I think you can do it, I'll make Doc pull me out today. Or I'll tell Jared. Just imagine what he would do. I imagined it for her, smiling a little through my tears. Remeber? He said no guarantees about what he would or wouldn't do to keep you here. I though of those buring kisses in the hall...thought of other kisses and other nights in her memory. My face warmed as I blushed. You fight dirty. You bet I do.

शुक्र है, वांडा। मेरी बहन। मैं तुम्हें कभी नहीं भूलूँगी। खुश रहना, मेल। इस सबका आनंद लेना। मेरी तरफ से इसकी कद्र करना।

किसी चीज़ को हासिल न कर पाने की सच्चाई का यही मज़ा है। यह आपको उसके लिए बेचैन कर देता है।

शायद मैं वही थी जिसे लिया समझती थी। किसी ऐसे मृत अंत की तरह जिसे आने वाली पीढ़ी को नहीं सौंपा जाना चाहिए। या शायद बात यह थी कि मेरी ज़िंदगी एक बड़ा, क्रूर मज़ाक थी, और उसके इस अंजाम से भागने का कोई रास्ता नहीं था। -जैकोप

मैं शब्दों को बिल्कुल सही से नहीं कह पा रहा था; मुझे तो बस यह याद था कि मैं यह कामना कर रहा था कि काश जैकब मेरा भाई होता ताकि हम बिना किसी उलझन या दर्द के एक-दूसरे से प्यार कर पाते।

I couldn’t get the words exactly right; I only remembered wishing that Jacob were my brother so that we could love each other without any confusion or pain.

हम भाग्यशाली हैं कि एस्मे को एक अतिरिक्त कमरा जोड़ने का खयाल आया। नेस-रिनेस्मी के लिए तो कोई योजना ही नहीं बना रहा था।" मैंने भौंहें सिकोड़कर उसकी ओर देखा, मेरे विचार किसी कम सुखद रास्ते पर भटकने लगे थे। "तुम भी नहीं," मैंने शिकायत की। "माफ़ करना, जान। मैं हर समय उनके विचारों में यही सुनता रहता हूँ, जानती हो। इसका असर मुझ पर भी हो रहा है।" मैंने आह भरी। मेरा बच्चा, समुद्री नाग। शायद इस बात का कोई इलाज नहीं था। खैर, मैं हार मानने वाली नहीं थी।

We're lucky Esme thought to add an extra room. No one was planning for Ness-Renesmee." I frowned at him, my thoughts channeled down a less pleasant path. "Not you too," I complained. "Sorry, love. I hear it in their thoughts all the time, you know. It's rubbing off on me. I sighed. My baby, the sea serpent. Maybe there was no help for it. Well, I wasn't giving in.

उस गैर-ज़िम्मेदार माँ ने बेला की समझदारी की वजह को समझाने में मदद की। उसे बहुत कम उम्र में ही बड़ा होना पड़ा था, देखभाल करने वाला बनना पड़ा था। इसीलिए उसे अपनी देखभाल करवाना पसंद नहीं था—उसे लगता था कि यह उसका काम है।

The irresponsible mother helped explain bella's maturity. She'd had to grow up early, to become the caretaker. That's why she didn't like being cared for- she felt it was her job.

मैं तुम्हारा क्या करूँ? कल मैं तुम्हें चूमता हूँ, और तुम मुझ पर हमला कर देती हो! आज तुम मुझ पर बेहोश हो जाती हो!

What am I going to do with you? Yesterday I kiss you, and you attack me! Today you pass out on me!

मैं एक पिशाच था, और अस्सी सालों में मैंने जितने भी लोगों को सूंघा था, उन सबमें उसका खून सबसे ज़्यादा मीठा था।

I was a vampire, and she had the sweetest blood I’d smelled in eighty years.

हमेशा के लिए तो बस शुरुआत है

मेलानी: अच्छा, उसे बताओ। वांडा: फिर क्या होगा? मेलानी: तुम्हें पता है क्या होगा। काइल ने नियम तोड़े हैं। जेब उसे गोली मार देगा, या फिर वे उसे बाहर निकाल देंगे। हो सकता है इआन पहले ही उसकी अच्छी तरह धुलाई कर दे। उसे देखना मज़ेदार होगा।

“लेकिन मैं तुमसे प्यार करता हूँ,” उसने फुसफुसा कर कहा। “क्या इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता?” “बेशक फर्क पड़ता है। बहुत ज़्यादा। क्या तुम समझ नहीं पा रहे? इससे तो यह और भी ज़्यादा... ज़रूरी हो जाता है।” उसकी आँखें झटके से खुल गईं। “क्या मुझसे मेरा प्यार पाना तुम्हारे लिए इतना असहनीय है? क्या बात है यह? वांडा, मैं मुँह बंद रखूँगा। मैं दोबारा यह नहीं कहूँगा। अगर तुम यही चाहती हो, तो जेरेड के साथ रह सकती हो। बस रुकी रहो।”

But I love you, “ he whispered. “Doesn't that matter?” “Of course it matters. So much. Can't you see? That only makes it more… necessary.” His eyes flashed open. “Is it so unbearable to have me love you? Is that it? I can keep my mouth shut, Wanda. I won't say it again. You can be with Jared, if that's what you want. Just stay.

मेरी बात सुनो, वांडा। मैं अच्छी तरह जानता हूँ कि तुम क्या नहीं बनना चाहतीं। लेकिन हम इंसान हैं, और हम थोड़े मतलबी भी होते हैं, और हम हमेशा सही काम नहीं करते। हम तुम्हें जाने नहीं देंगे। अब इसे स्वीकार करो।

Listen up, Wanda. I know exactly what you don't want to be. But we're human, and we're selfish, and we don't always do the right thing. We aren't going to let you go. Deal with it.

वह मेरा हाथ ज़ोर से दबाता है, और मेरा दिल मेरी पसलियों से टकराने लगता है। यह खुशी किसी दर्द जैसी ही है।

He squeezes my hand, and my heart punches against my ribs. It's just like pain, this pleasure.

He squeezes my hand, and my heart punches against my ribs. It's just like pain, this pleasure.

जहाँ मेरी त्वचा उसकी त्वचा से मिलती है, वहाँ जलन सी होती है। यह अच्छा महसूस होने से भी कहीं ज़्यादा है, लेकिन इससे मेरे सीने में एक अजीब सी टीस उठने लगती है।

My skin burns where it meets his. It feels better than good, but it sets off a strange aching in my chest.

उस सीकर को धूप में जीने के लिए एक लंबी और अच्छी ज़िंदगी की ज़रूरत थी।

यह अहसास बिल्कुल भी अच्छा नहीं होता कि आप वाकई एक राक्षस कहलाए जाने के लायक हैं। खुद को दोषी महसूस करने से बेहतर है कि दयालु बनो।

It's not a good feeling--knowing that you profoundly deserve the title of monster. It's better to be kind than to feel guilty.

It's not a good feeling--knowing that you profoundly deserve the title of monster. It's better to be kind than to feel guilty.

और मैं फिर से रो पड़ी, यह महसूस करते हुए कि इस बात से उस इंसान में भी बदलाव आ रहा होगा, जो एक रूह होने जितना दयालु था लेकिन सिर्फ एक इंसान की तरह ही बेहद मज़बूत भी था।

And I started to cry again, realizing that it must be changing him, too, this man who was kind enough to be a soul but strong as only a human could be.

And I started to cry again, realizing that it must be changing him, too, this man who was kind enough to be a soul but strong as only a human could be.

इआन ने मेरा हाथ दबाया और बालों के बीच से फुसफुसाते हुए झुका। उसकी आवाज़ इतनी धीमी थी कि सिर्फ मैं ही सुन सकती थी। 'वांडरर, मैंने तुम्हें अपने हाथों में थामा था। और तुम कितनी खूबसूरत थीं।'

Ian squeezed my hand and leaned in to whisper through all the hair. His voice was so low that I was the only one who could hear. 'I held you in my hand, Wanderer. And you were so beautiful.

मैं वह राक्षस नहीं बनना चाहती थी! मैं मासूम बच्चों से भरे इस कमरे को नहीं मारना चाहती थी! मैं त्याग और संयम से भरी अपनी पूरी ज़िंदगी की कमाई को एक पल में नहीं गँवाना चाहती थी!

I didn't want to be the monster! I didn't want to kill this room full of harmless children! I didn't want to lose everything I'd gained in a lifetime of sacrifice and denial!

मैं कभी समझ नहीं पाया था कि कार्लाइल ऐसा कैसे कर लेता है—अपने मरीज़ों का इलाज करने के लिए उनके खून की महक को कैसे अनदेखा कर देता है। क्या यह निरंतर लालच उसे भटकाता नहीं होगा, यह कितना खतरनाक होता? लेकिन अब, मैं समझ सकता था कि अगर आप किसी और चीज़ पर पूरी शिद्दत से ध्यान केंद्रित कर रहे हों, तो यह लालच कुछ भी नहीं रहता।

I'd never understood how Carlisle was able to do that - ignore the blood of his patients in order to treat them. Wouldn't the constant temptation be so distracting, so dangerous? But now, I could see how, if you were focusing on something else hard enough, the temptation was be nothing at all.

कार्लाइल और मुझमें जो अंतर था, उसके लिए मेरा दिल तड़प उठा—कि वह बिना किसी डर के, यह जानते हुए कि वह उसे कभी नुकसान नहीं पहुँचाएगा, उसे कितनी नरमी से छू सकता था।

I ached for the difference between Carlisle and me - that he could touch her so gently, without fear, knowing he would never harm her.

जब से मैं उससे मिला था, उसकी जान बचाना ही एकमात्र ऐसा सही काम था जो मैंने किया था। एकमात्र ऐसी बात थी जिस पर मुझे शर्मिंदगी नहीं थी। बस वही एक इकलौती चीज़ थी जिसकी वजह से मुझे खुशी थी कि मैं इस दुनिया में हूँ। जब से मैंने उसकी खुशबू महसूस की थी, मैं उसे ज़िंदा रखने के लिए संघर्ष कर रहा था।

Saving her life was the one acceptable thing I'd done since I met her. The one thing that I was not ashamed of. The one and only thing that made me glad I existed at all. I'd been fighting to keep her alive since the first moment I'd caught her scent.

क्या वांडा, बेइज्जती करवाने के लिए तैयार हो?" वेस ने ताना मारा। "भले ही तुमने इस ग्रह पर कब्जा कर लिया हो, लेकिन ये खेल तुम हार रही हो।

Ready to be humiliated, Wanda?" Wes taunted. "You may have taken the planet, but you're losing this game.

मैं बस इतना जानती हूँ कि स्टीफन किंग की किताबें पढ़ने की मुझमें हिम्मत नहीं है। हॉरर पढ़ने के मामले में मैं बहुत डरपोक हूँ।

I just know I'm too much of a wuss for Stephen King's books. I'm way too chicken to read horror.

और फिर लिखना... ऐसा लगा जैसे मैंने इसे ढूँढ लिया हो, समझे? जैसे आपको अपनी पसंद की आइसक्रीम अचानक मिल जाए और आप कहें, 'मुझे पिछले तीस साल से यही तो करना चाहिए था। मैं क्या सोच रही थी?' तो बस, मैं इसमें उतर गई और फिर मुझे बस इसे आगे बढ़ाते जाना था।

And then writing, it was like I just found it, you know? Like you just found your favorite flavor of ice cream, all of a sudden there it is. 'This is what I should have been doing for the last thirty years. What was I thinking?' So I was, then I was in and then I had to just keep going with it.

कभी-कभी ऐसा लगता है मानो विचार पहले से ही मौजूद थे, और आप बस उनकी खोज कर रहे हैं।

Sometimes ideas feel like they were already there, and that you're just discovering them.

कलाकारों का चुनाव करना वाकई बहुत रोमांचक होता है। 'ट्वाइलाइट' के पहले भाग में कास्टिंग से मेरा कोई लेना-देना नहीं था। वे मुझे हर बात की जानकारी दे रहे थे, जो कि बहुत अच्छी बात थी। वे कहते, 'अरे, क्रिस्टन स्टीवर्ट यह रोल करने वाली हैं,' और मैं कहती, 'सच में? बहुत बढ़िया।'

Casting is really exciting. With 'Twilight,' I wasn't involved at all with the casting in the original. They kept me in the loop, which was great. They'd be like, 'Hey Kristen Stewart's gonna do it' and I was like, 'Really? Awesome.'

मैं बस यही अंदाजा लगा सकती हूँ कि जब मैं लिखती हूँ, तो मैं भूल जाती हूँ कि यह सच नहीं है। मैं उस कहानी को जी रही होती हूँ, और मुझे लगता है कि पाठक किरदारों में उस सच्चाई को महसूस कर लेते हैं। जब मैं उन्हें लिख रही होती हूँ, तो वे मेरे लिए असली होते हैं, और मुझे लगता है कि इसी वजह से वे पाठकों के लिए भी असली बन जाते हैं।

All I can guess is that when I write, I forget that it's not real. I'm living the story, and I think people can read that sincerity about the characters. They are real to me while I'm writing them, and I think that makes them real to the readers as well.

मैं पिशाच (वैम्पायर) नहीं बनना चाहती। बहुत से लोग बनना चाहते हैं और मुझे लगता है कि यह उसकी दोहरी प्रकृति की वजह से है—यानी डरावना और दिलचस्प दोनों होना।

I don't want to be a vampire. A lot of other people do and I think it's that dual nature - we have, you know, terrifying/intriguing.

मुझे लगता है कि पढ़ने की आदत ने मुझे एक लेखक के रूप में गढ़ा है, क्योंकि अपने जीवन का एक बड़ा हिस्सा मैंने अपनी दुनिया से बाहर, किताबों की दुनिया में जिया है और मुझे यह बहुत पसंद था। मैं हमेशा से पढ़ने की शौकीन रही हूँ। मुझे लगता है कि उन तमाम कहानियों को जीने की वजह से ही मैं स्वाभाविक रूप से सृजन करने के अगले कदम पर पहुँच पाई।

I feel like reading really defined me as a writer because I lived my life outside of my own body for so much of my life and I loved it. I've always been a reader. I think living all those stories served me to naturally take that next step to creating.

अगर मैं 'द होस्ट' को आगे बढ़ाती हूँ, जिसकी एक संभावना है, तो ऐसे कई पात्र और कहानियाँ हैं जिन्हें आगे बढ़ाया जा सकता है... अगर मैं इसके साथ आगे बढ़ी, तो दो किताबें और होंगी... अगली होगी 'द सोल' और उसके बाद 'द सीकड़'।

If I were to continue on with 'The Host,' which is a possibility, there are characters and stories that could continue... If I went ahead with that, it would be two more... Next would be 'The Soul,' and then 'The Seeker.

जैक्सन रैथबोन वाकई बहुत अच्छा गिटार बजाते हैं। हमारी पसंद की संगीत शैली बिल्कुल एक जैसी नहीं है, लेकिन रेडियोहेड के गाने 'क्रीप' पर हमें एक जैसी पसंद मिल गई, जिस पर उन्होंने फिर मुझे गाना सुनाकर रिझाया।

Jackson Rathbone can really play the guitar. Our taste in music is not exactly the same, but we found common ground with Radiohead's Creep, with which he then serenaded me.

किसी की मत सुनना जो यह कहे कि हाई स्कूल मजेदार होना चाहिए। हाई स्कूल को तो बस काटना पड़ता है। कॉलेज मजेदार होता है।

क्या तुमने सचमुच अभी पैर पटका? मुझे लगा था कि लड़कियाँ ऐसा सिर्फ टीवी पर करती हैं।

वाह, तुम्हारी खुशबू वाकई बहुत अच्छी है।

oh you do smell good.

कितना डरपोक है। तुम्हें किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति के साथ रहना चाहिए जिसका दिल मजबूत हो। कोई ऐसा जो उस खून-खराबे पर हँसे जिसे देखकर कमजोर दिल वाले उल्टियाँ करने लगें।

What a marshmallow. You should hold out for someone with a stronger stomach. Someone who laughs at the gore that makes weaker men vomit.

मेरे दिमाग में जो तस्वीर उभरी और 'शिकार करना' (खून चूसना) शब्द को सुनकर मेरे रोंगटे खड़े हो गए। लेकिन जैस्पर को मुझे डराने की कोई फिक्र नहीं थी, वह एडवर्ड की तरह ज़रूरत से ज्यादा मेरी रक्षा करने वाला नहीं था।

I shuddered at the image in my head, at the word feed. But Jasper wasn’t worried about frightening me, not overprotective like Edward always was.

I shuddered at the image in my head, at the word feed. But Jasper wasn’t worried about frightening me, not overprotective like Edward always was.

मैं एडवर्ड से ज़्यादा मज़बूत थी। मैंने उसे 'आह' बोलने पर मजबूर कर दिया था।

I was stronger than Edward. I'd made him say ow.

I was stronger than Edward. I'd made him say ow.

वह एडवर्ड है। वैसे तो वह बहुत हैंडसम है, पर अपना वक़्त बर्बाद मत करना। वह किसी को डेट नहीं करता। साफ़ है कि यहाँ की कोई भी लड़की उसे अपने लायक सुंदर नहीं लगती।

That’s Edward. He’s gorgeous, of course, but don’t waste your time. He doesn’t date. Apparently none of the girls here are good-looking enough for him.

अनंत काल के नर्क के लिए कितनी बेताबी है।

मैंने कहा था कि हमारा दोस्त न होना बेहतर होगा, यह नहीं कि मैं दोस्त बनना नहीं चाहती थी।

I said it would be better if we weren’t friends, not that I didn’t want to be.

I said it would be better if we weren’t friends, not that I didn’t want to be.

वह मेरे लिए है क्या? एक बला के सिवा—एक ऐसा ख़तरा जिसे तुमने हम सब पर थोड़ने का फ़ैसला किया है।

What is she to me? Except a menace — a danger you’ve chosen to inflict on all of us.

ये बात इसके तयशुदा होने में है। कोई भी चीज़ उन्हें अलग नहीं कर सकती—न उसकी खुदगर्ज़ी, न उसकी बुराई, और आख़िरकार मौत भी नहीं... उनका प्यार ही उनकी एकमात्र खूबी है जो उन्हें बचाए रखती है।

It's something about the inevitability. How nothing can keep them apart--not her selfishness, or his evil, or even death, in the end...their love is their only redeeming quality.

हालाँकि, मैं उसके दिल की बात पढ़ सकती हूँ—वह क्लास में तुम्हें दबोचने का इंतज़ार कर रही होगी।

however, i can read hers- she'll be waiting to ambush you in class.

अरे बेला? तुम्हारे माथे पर बहुत गहरा कट लगा है और उससे तेज़ी से खून बह रहा है," उसने मुझे बताया। मैंने अपना हाथ अपने सिर पर रख लिया। देखा तो वह सचमुच गीला और चिपचिपा था। मुझे अपने चेहरे पर पड़ी गीली काई के अलावा और कुछ नहीं सूँघ रहा था, और उसी ने मुझे जी मितलाने से रोके रखा। "ओह, मुझे बहुत अफ़सोस है, जैकब।" मैंने उस घाव पर ज़ोर से दबाव डाला, मानो मैं खून को वापस अपने सिर के अंदर धकेल सकती हूँ। "खून बहने के लिए तुम क्यों माफ़ी माँग रही हो?" उसने हैरान होकर पूछा और अपना लंबा हाथ मेरी कमर के चारों ओर लपेटकर मुझे खड़ा कर दिया।

Um, Bella? You've got a huge cut on your forehead, and it's gushing blood," he informed me. I clapped my hand over my head. Sure enough, it was wet and sticky. I could smell nothing but the damp moss on my face, and that held off the nausea. Oh, I'm so sorry, Jacob." I pushed hard against the gash, as if I could force the blood back inside my head. Why are you apologizing for bleeding?" he wondered as he wrapped a long arm around my waist and and pulled me to my feet.

रोमियो अपना इरादा नहीं बदलता। यही वजह है कि लोग आज भी उसका नाम याद रखते हैं, जो हमेशा उसी के नाम के साथ जुड़ा रहता है।

Romeo wouldn’t change his mind. That’s why people still remembered his name, always twined with hers.

यह तुम्हारा ही काम हो सकता है, बेला। वैम्पायरों के शहर छोड़ने पर बाकी सब तो बेहतर महसूस करते, लेकिन तुम्हें तो पहले मिले दानवों के साथ ही घूमना शुरू करना पड़ता है।

Leave it to you, Bella. Anyone else would be better off when the vampires left town. But you have to start hanging out with the first monsters you can find.

सबकी नज़रों ने मुझे असहज कर दिया। यहाँ तक कि एडवर्ड की भी नहीं। ऐसा लगा मानो सुबह-सुबह मेरी लंबाई सौ फीट बढ़ गई हो। मैंने उन प्रभावित करने वाली नज़रों को नज़रअंदाज करने की कोशिश की, और ज़्यादातर अपनी आँखें नेसी के सोते हुए चेहरे और जैकब के सामान्य चेहरे पर टिकाए रखीं। जैकब के लिए मैं हमेशा बस बेला रहूँगी, और यह बात मेरे लिए बहुत बड़ी राहत थी। बेला कलन, ब्रेकिंग डॉन, अध्याय 39, पृष्ठ 747

The way everyone looked at me made me uncomfortable. Even Edward. It was like I had grown a hundred feet during the course of the morning. I tried to ignore the impressed looks, mostly keeping my eyes on Nessie’s sleeping face and Jacob’s unchanged expression. I would always be just Bella to him, and that was a relief.

घर के सबसे ताकतवर वैम्पायर से पंगा लेना थोड़ी मूर्खता नहीं है, तुम्हें नहीं लगता?' एम्मेट ने पीछे की ओर सिर फेंका और ठहाका लगाया। 'बिल्कुल नहीं!' [...] मैंने एक गहरी साँस ली। 'एम्मेट, एक छोटी सी शर्त के बारे में क्या ख़्याल है?' वह एक ही झटके में खड़ा हो गया। 'शानदार। लगाओ शर्त।'

It's a little dense, don't you think, to antagonize the strongest vampire in the house?' Emmett threw his head back and snorted. 'PLEASE!' [...] I took a deep breath. 'Emmett, how do you feel about a little bet?' He was on his feet at once. 'Awesome. Bring it.

लीया: "यह पक्का तौर पर ज़िंदगी की सबसे घटिया बात है जो मैंने कभी सुनी है। छीः। अगर मेरे पेट में कुछ होता, तो वह बाहर आ जाता।" सेठ: "मुझे लगता है वे वैम्पायर हैं। मेरा मतलब है, यह बात समझ में आती है, और अगर इससे बेला की मदद होती है, तो यह अच्छी बात है, है ना?" लीया और जेक सेठ को घूरते हैं। सेठ: "क्या?" लीया: "बचपन में ममी ने इसे कई बार गिराया था।" जेक: "साफ़ है, सिर के बल।" लीया: "यह पालने की सलाखों को भी चबाया करता था।" जेक: "सीसा वाला पेंट?" लीया: "लग तो ऐसा ही है।" सेठ: "मज़ाकिया हो। तुम दोनों अपनी बकवास बंद करके सो क्यों नहीं जाते?"

Leah: "That is easily the freakin’ grossest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Yuck. If there was anything in my stomach, it would be coming back." Seth: "They are vampires, I guess. I mean, it makes sense, and if it helps Bella, it’s a good thing, right?" Leah and Jake stare at Seth. Seth: "What?" Leah: "Mom dropped him a lot when he was a baby." Jake: "On his head apparently." Leah: "He used to gnaw on the crib bars, too." Jake: "Lead paint?" Leah: "Looks like it." Seth: "Funny. Why don’t you two shut up and sleep?

यह शाम का धुंधलापन है। यह हमारे लिए दिन का सबसे सुरक्षित समय है। सबसे आसान समय। लेकिन एक तरह से यह सबसे उदास भी है... एक और दिन का अंत, रात की वापसी। अँधेरा कितना तयशुदा होता है, है न?

It's twilight. It’s the safest time of day for us. The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way...the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don’t you think?

मैं ज़रा भी ख़तरनाक नहीं हूँ। मैंने कभी ग्रैंडपा, सू या बिली को चोट नहीं पहुँचाई। मैं इंसानों से प्यार करती हूँ। और अपने जैकब जैसे भेड़ियों से भी।"रेनेस्मी ने जैकब की बांह थपथपाने के लिए एडवर्ड का हाथ छोड़ दिया।

I'm not dangerous at all I never hurt Grandpa or Sue or Billy. I love humans. And wolf-people like my Jacob."Renesmee dropped Edward's hand to reach back and pat Jacob's arm.

मम्मा, आप बहुत ख़ास हो," रेनेस्मी ने बिना किसी हैरानी के मुझसे कहा, जैसे वह मेरे कपड़ों के रंग पर टिप्पणी कर रही हो।

Momma, you're special," Renesmee told me without any surprise, like she was commenting on the color of my clothes.

Momma, you're special," Renesmee told me without any surprise, like she was commenting on the color of my clothes.

तुम्हारी मुझसे मोहब्बत करने की कोई तुक नहीं बनती थी।

It never made sense for you to love me.

It never made sense for you to love me.

यह दुनिया का अंत नहीं होने वाला था। बस कलनों का अंत। एडवर्ड का अंत, मेरा अंत। मैं यही चाहती थी—कम से कम आखिरी हिस्सा तो यही था। मैं एडवर्ड के बिना दोबारा नहीं जी सकती थी; अगर वह इस दुनिया को छोड़कर जा रहा था, तो मैं भी उसके ठीक पीछे होती हूँ।

It was not going to be the end of the world. Just the end of the Cullens. The end of Edward, the end of me. I preferred it that way – the last part anyway. I would not live without Edward again; if he was leaving this world, then I would be right behind him.

जिसकी बात करो, उसे सामने पाओ।

तो, तुमने एडवर्ड कलन को पेंसिल से गोदा था या क्या? मैंने उसे कभी ऐसे बर्ताव करते नहीं देखा।

So, did you stab Edward Cullen with a pencil or what? I've never seen him act like that.

मैं तुम्हें हमेशा सच बताऊँगी।

यह काफ़ी साफ़ है, है ना? मैं तुम्हारे इस घटिया से बागी झुंड में शामिल हो रही हूँ। वैम्पायरों के पालतू कुत्ते।

It's pretty obvious, isn't it? I'm joining your crappy little renegade pack. The vampires' guard dogs.

“बुरा मत मानना, लेकिन तुम उन लोगों में से लगते हो जो चुम्बक की तरह हादसों को अपनी ओर खींचते हैं। इसलिए... कोशिश करना कि समुद्र में न गिर जाओ या किसी गाड़ी के नीचे न आ जाओ, ठीक है?” उसने टेढ़ा सा मुस्कुराते हुए कहा। जैसे-जैसे वह बोला, उसकी बेबसी गायब हो चुकी थी। मैंने उसे घूर कर देखा। “मैं देखती हूँ कि क्या कर सकती हूँ,” मैंने बारिश में कूदते हुए तमक कर कहा। मैंने अपने पीछे दरवाज़ा बहुत ज़ोर से बंद किया। जब वह कार चलाकर गया, तब भी उसके चेहरे पर मुस्कान थी।

“Don't be offended, but you seem to be one of those people who just attract accidents like a magnet. So... try not to fall into the ocean or get run over or anything, all right?” He smiled crookedly. The helplessness had faded as he spoke. I glared at him. “I'll see what I can do,” I snapped as I jumped out into the rain. I slammed the door behind me with excessive force. He was still smiling as he drove away.

क्योंकि मेरे लिए उससे मुँह मोड़ने के ख़्याल से ज़्यादा डरावनी और कोई चीज़ नहीं थी, ज़्यादा दर्दनाक और कुछ नहीं था। ऐसा होना नामुमकिन था।

Because there was nothing more terrifying to me, more excruciating, than the thought of turning away from him. it was an impossibility.

यह पचाने के लिए एक अजीब मेल था — शहर के डॉक्टर की रोज़मर्रा की परेशानियाँ सत्रहवीं सदी के लंदन में उसके शुरुआती दिनों की चर्चा के बीच में फँसी हुई थीं।

It was a strange combination to absorb - the everyday concerns of the town doctor stuck in the middle of a discussion of his early days in seventeenth-century London.

हमेशा के लिए," उसने अभी भी थोड़ा लड़खड़ाते हुए वादा किया। "मैं बस यही माँग रही हूँ," मैंने कहा।

Forever," he vowed, still a little staggered. "That's all I'm asking for," I said.

मुझे हमेशा उस अतिरिक्त काल्पनिक दुनिया की ज़रूरत महसूस होती थी। मुझे एक ऐसी दूसरी दुनिया की सख़्त ज़रूरत थी जिसमें मैं एक ही समय में मौजूद रह सकूँ।

I always needed that extra fantasy world. I had to have another world I could be in at the same time.

एडवर्ड: यह मेरी ज़िंदगी की सबसे बुरी रात तो नहीं थी। जेक: क्या यह टॉप दस में शामिल है? एडवर्ड: शायद। लेकिन, अगर कल रात मैं तुम्हारी जगह ले पाता, तो यह मेरी ज़िंदगी की सबसे बेहतरीन रातों के टॉप दस में शामिल नहीं होती। ज़रा इस बारे में सोचना।

Edward: It wasn't the worst night of my life. Jake: Did it make the top ten? Edward: Possibly. But, if I had been able to take your place last night, it would not have made the top ten of the best nights of my life. Dream about that.

अगर मुझे दुनिया वापस पाने और तुम्हें चुनने के बीच एक विकल्प दिया जाए, तो मैं तुम्हें कभी नहीं छोड़ूँगा। पाँच अरब इंसानों की जान बचाने के लिए भी नहीं।

If I was given the choice between having the world back and having you, I wouldn't be able to give you up. Not to save five billion lives.

एडवर्ड ने मदद की, और कच्चे सामान को देखकर बीच-बीच में अजीब से चेहरे बनाने लगा—इंसानों का खाना उसे थोड़ा अजीब और नापसंद था।

Edward helped, making faces every so often at the raw ingredients-human food was mildly repulsive to him.

बीच-बचवाव किया? तुमने तो मुझे भेड़ियों के आगे फेंक दिया था!

Interceded? You threw me to the sharks!

Interceded? You threw me to the sharks!

मैंने अपनी आँखें फाड़कर, एक नज़र एडवर्ड के चिढ़कर सिकोड़े गए चेहरे पर डाली और दूसरी जेक के ताने भरे व्यंग्य पर।

I glanced, wide eyed, from Edward's grimace to Jacob's sneer.

I glanced, wide eyed, from Edward's grimace to Jacob's sneer.

जेक को मेरी किसी भी शारीरिक सुरक्षा की ज़रूरत नहीं थी। लेकिन एडवर्ड की पकड़ में जकड़े मेरे हाथ, उसकी तरफ बढ़ने के लिए मचल रहे थे। बिना कुछ कहे, उसे अपनी स्वीकार्यता और अपनेपन का भरोसा देने के लिए, उसकी चौड़ी और गर्म कमर के गिर्द बाँहें लपेट लेना चाहते थे। एडवर्ड के हिफाज़ती हाथ अब मेरे लिए बेड़ियाँ बन चुके थे।

Jacob was hardly in need of any physical protection I could offer. But my arms, pinned beneath Edward's, yearned to reach out to him. To wrap around his big, warm, waist in a silent promise of acceptance and comfort. Edward's shielding arms had become restraints.

जेक की हल्की सी मुसकुराहट अब एक चौड़ी हंसी में बदल चुकी थी, और मैं समझ गई थी कि वह चार्ली को उसे गिरफ्तार करने आते हुए देख रहा है। यह हंसी बहुत कड़वी थी, ताने से भरी थी और मुझे जरा भी सुकून देने वाली नहीं थी। मैं जिस मुस्कान का इंतज़ार कर रही थी, यह वो नहीं थी।

Jacob's little smirk became a full-blown grin, and I knew he was picturing Charlie showing up to arrest him. This grin was too bitter, too full of mocking to satisfy me. This wasn't the smile I'd been waiting to see.

कोई कह रहा था, "मेरी शर्त बड़े वाले इंडियन पर है।" मैंने नज़र उठाकर देखा तो टायलर, माइक, ऑस्टिन और बेन सिर जोड़े आपस में किसी गहरी चर्चा में डूबे थे। माइक ने फुसफुसाते हुए कहा, "हाँ, तुमने उस जेक नाम के लड़के का कद-काठी देखा है? मुझे लगता है वह कुलेन को धूल चटा सकता है।" माइक को यह विचार बहुत पसंद आया था।

My money's on the big Indian,' someone was saying. I peeked up to see that Tyler, Mike, Austin and Ben had there heads bent together, deep in conversation. 'Yeah,' Mike whispered. 'Did you see the size of that Jacob kid? I think he could take Cullen down.' Mike seemed pleased by the idea.

पूरी ज़िंदगी में यह पहला मौका था जब मैंने किसी से सचमुच ऐसी जलन महसूस की थी।

It was the first time I'd ever felt truly jealous of anyone else in my entire life.

मैं तो उस भयानक गुस्से का सामना करने के लिए तैयार बैठी थी जिसके आगे भालू का गुस्सा भी पानी भर ले, और बदले में मुझे यह मिल रहा है? मुझे तुम्हें और अक्सर गुस्सा दिलाना चाहिए।

I was all braced for the wrath that was going to put grizzlies to shame, and this is what I get? I should infuriate you more often.

बेला, यह कोई बहुत आकर्षक हरकत नहीं है," उसने कहा। "माफ़ करना इंसान का सबसे बड़ा गुण है।" "अपने काम से काम रखो।"

That's not very attractive behavior, Bella." he said. " Forgiveness is divine. "Mind your own buisness.

क्या तुम अभी भी दौड़ने की थकान से बेहोश हो रही हो? या यह मेरे चूमने के हुनर का कमाल है?

Are you still faint from the run? Or was it my kissing expertise?

Are you still faint from the run? Or was it my kissing expertise?

यह सब बहुत बचकाना था। आखिर जेक के आने पर एडवर्ड को वहाँ से क्यों जाना चाहिए? क्या हम इस बचपने से आगे नहीं बढ़ चुके थे?

It was all very childish. Why on earth should Edward have to leave for Jacob to come over? Weren't we past this immaturity?

It was all very childish. Why on earth should Edward have to leave for Jacob to come over? Weren't we past this immaturity?

एडवर्ड: बेला, कृपया अपने कपड़े उतारना बंद करो! बेला: क्यों? क्या तुम वह हिस्सा खुद करना चाहते थे?

Edward: Bella, please stop taking your clothes off! Bella: Why? Did you wanna do that part?

Edward: Bella, please stop taking your clothes off! Bella: Why? Did you wanna do that part?

परेशान मत होओ?! तुमने अपना हाथ चीर लिया है!

Don't worry?! You sliced your hand open!

Don't worry?! You sliced your hand open!

क्या यह सब ऐसा ही होना चाहिए?" वह मुस्कुराया। "पहला प्यार और उसकी जादुई अनुभूति, और वो सब बातें। यह कितना अद्भुत है ना—किसी चीज़ के बारे में पढ़ने, उसे तस्वीरों में देखने और खुद उसे अनुभव करने में कितना फर्क होता है?" "बहुत ज़्यादा फर्क," मैंने सहमति जताई। "जितना मैंने सोचा था, यह उससे कहीं ज़्यादा गहरा है।"

Isn't it supposed to be like this?" He smiled. "The glory of first love, and all that. It's incredible, isn't it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?" "Very different," I agreed. "More forceful than I'd imagined.

एडवर्ड सब कुछ कर सकता है, है ना?" मैंने समझाया। जैस्पर खिलखिलाकर हँसा और एस्मे ने एडवर्ड को डांट भरी नज़रों से देखा। "मुझे उम्मीद है तुम अपनी शोख़ी नहीं झाड़ रहे थे—यह अच्छी बात नहीं है," उसने डाँटा। "बस थोड़ा सा," वह खुलकर हँसा। "असल में वह बहुत संकोची है," मैंने बात संभाली। "अच्छा, तो इसके लिए कुछ बजाओ," एस्मे ने बढ़ावा दिया। "तुमने अभी कहा कि शेखी बघारना बुरी बात है," उसने आपत्ति जताई। "हर नियम के कुछ अपवाद होते हैं," उसने जवाब दिया।

Edward can do everything, right?" I explained. Jasper snickered and Esme gave Edward a reproving look. "I hope you haven't been showing off-it's rude," she scolded. "Just a bit," he laughed freely. "He's been too modest actually," I corrected. "Well, play for her," Esme encouraged. "You just said showing off was rude," he objected. "There are exceptions to every rule," she replied.

मैंने कई जिस्मों में प्यार किया था, पर किसी से ऐसा प्यार कभी नहीं किया था। किसी ऐसे की चाहत मुझे कभी नहीं हुई थी। और कुदरत का खेल देखिए, यही वो शख्स था जिसे मुझे छोड़ना पड़ रहा था। इस विडंबना पर मुझे हंसी आ गई, और मैंने अपनी छाती से उठकर गले तक पहुँचने वाले साँसों के उन छोटे बुलबुले जैसे अहसास पर ध्यान केंद्रित किया। हंसी एक ताज़गी भरी हवा की तरह थी—उसने शरीर के भीतर सब कुछ साफ़ कर दिया, जिससे हर चीज़ सुकून देने लगी। क्या दूसरी प्रजातियों के पास भी ऐसा सीधा-सादा मरहम होता है? मुझे कोई याद नहीं आया।

I'd loved in so many bodies, but never one I loved like this. Never one that I craved in this way. Of course, this would be the one I'd have to give up. The irony made me laugh, and I concentrated on the feel of the air that popped in little bubbles from my chest and up through my throat. Laughter was like a fresh breeze - it cleaned its way through the body, making everything feel good. Did other species have such a simple healer? I couldn't remember one.

वह मेरी है।" एडवर्ड की धीमी आवाज़ अचानक खतरनाक हो गई, उसमें पहले जैसी शांति नहीं थी। "मैंने यह नहीं कहा कि मैं फेयर प्ले खेलूँगा।

She is mine.' Edward’s low voice was suddenly dark, not as composed as before. 'I didn’t say I would fight fair.

कार्लाइल का एक सिद्धांत है... उनका मानना है कि हम अपनी इंसानी ज़िंदगी की सबसे मजबूत खूबियों को अगली ज़िंदगी में अपने साथ ले जाते हैं, जहाँ वे और भी गहरी हो जाती हैं—जैसे हमारी सोच, और हमारे अहसास।

“ड डरो मत,” मैंने फुसफुसा कर कहा। “हम दोनों एक-दूसरे के लिए बने हैं।” अचानक ही मेरे अपने ही कहे शब्दों की सच्चाई मुझ पर हावी हो गई। यह पल इतना परफ़ेक्ट था कि इस पर शक करने की कोई गुंजाइश ही नहीं थी। उनकी बाँहें मुझे घेरकर अपनी बाहों में भींच चुकी थीं... ऐसा महसूस हो रहा था मानो मेरे जिस्म का हर एक सिरा कोई खुला हुआ बिजली का तार बन गया हो। “हमेशा के लिए,” उसने सहमति जताई।

dont be afraid", i murmured. "We belong together." I was abruptly overwhelmed by th truth of my own words. This moment was so perfect, there was no way to boubt it. His arms wrapped around me, holding me against him...It felt like every nerve ending in my body was a live wire. "Forever," he agreed.

मैं बस यही सोच रही थी—आज हमेशा का पहला और आखिरी दिन है। इस बात को अपने दिमाग में बिठाना थोड़ा मुश्किल है। इस बात के लिए भले ही दिमाग में कितना भी खाली स्पेस क्यों न हो।

I was just thinking – today is the first and last day of forever. It’s kind of hard to wrap my head around it. Even with all this extra room for wrapping.

तुम वाकई उतने अच्छे मैकेनिक्स नहीं हो, एडवर्ड। शायद तुम्हें आज रात रोज़ाली से इस पर एक नज़र डलवा लेनी चाहिए, कम से कम तब जब माइक तुम्हारी मदद लेने का फ़ैसला करे तो तुम अच्छे दिखो। ऐसा नहीं है कि रोज़ाली के मदद के लिए पहुँचने पर उसका चेहरा देखने में मज़ा नहीं आएगा। लेकिन चूँकि रोज़ाली को कॉलेज के सिलसिले में देश के दूसरे हिस्से में होना चाहिए, इसलिए मुझे लगता है कि यह सबसे अच्छा विचार नहीं है। बहुत बुरा हुआ।

You're really not that good a mechanic, Edward. Maybe you should have Rosalie take a look at it tonight, just so you look good if Mike decides to let you help, you know. Not that it wouldn't be fun to watch his face if Rosalie showed up to help. But since Rosalie is supposed to be across the country attending college, I guess that's not the best idea. Too bad.

सन्नी ने फुसफुसाते हुए मुझसे कहा, "मैं अक्सर उसके सपने देखती थी। हर रात। मैं बस यही उम्मीद करती रहती थी कि सीकर उसे ढूँढ लें; मुझे उसकी बहुत याद आती थी... जब मैंने उसे देखा, तो मुझे लगा कि यह फिर से वही पुराना सपना है।"

I used to dream about him all the time," Sunny whispered to me. "Every night. I kept hoping the Seekers would find him; I missed him so much...When I saw him, I thought it was the old dream again.

“अम,” डॉक्टर ने शांत आवाज़ में कहा, “मेडिकल के लिहाज़ से, मुझे यकीन नहीं है कि यह उसकी तबियत के लिए सबसे मददगार बात थी।” “लेकिन अब मैं बेहतर महसूस कर रहा हूँ,” जैरेड ने मुँह बनाते हुए जवाब दिया। डॉक्टर के चेहरे पर हल्की सी मुस्कान आ गई। “खैर, शायद कुछ और देर बेहोश रहने से उसकी जान नहीं चली जाएगी।

Um," Doc said in a mild voice, "medically speaking, I'm not sure that was the most helpful thing for his condition." "But I feel better," Jared answered, sullen. Doc smiled the tiniest smile. "Well, maybe a few more minutes of unconsciousness won't kill him.

हम आश्चर्य से चिल्ला उठे, "जेब चाचा! आपने हमें ढूँढ Lya।" "तो भई," उन्होंने कहा, और उनकी रूखी सी आवाज़ ने पुरानी सैकड़ों यादों को ताज़ा कर दिया। "अब बात यह है कि मामला थोड़ा उलझ गया है।"

मेलानी अब भी जेरेड के लिए दुखी है," उसने कहा। मैंने महसूस किया कि बिना मेरी मर्जी के ही मेरा सिर हाँ में हिल गया। "तुम भी उसके लिए दुखी हो।" मैंने अपनी आँखें बंद कर लीं। "क्या वे सपने अब भी आते हैं?" मैंने बुदबुदाते हुए कहा, "हर रात।" "मुझे उनके बारे में बताओ।" उसकी आवाज़ बहुत कोमल और मनाने वाली थी। "मुझे उनके बारे में बात करना पसंद नहीं है।" "मुझे पता है। कोशिश करो। शायद इससे मदद मिले।" "कैसे? यह बताने से कैसे मदद मिलेगी कि जब भी मैं आँखें बंद करती हूँ, मुझे उसका चेहरा दिखाई देता है? यह कि जब वह वहाँ नहीं होता, तो मैं उठकर रोती हूँ? यह कि पुरानी यादें इतनी गहरी हो चुकी हैं कि अब मैं उसकी और अपनी यादों को अलग नहीं कर पाती?

Melanie still grieves for Jared," she stated. I felt my head nod without willing the action. "You grieve for him." I closed my eyes. "The dreams continue?" "Every night," I mumbled. "Tell me about then." Her voice was soft, persuasive. "I don't like to talk about them." "I know. Try. It might help." "How? How will it help to tell you that I see his face every time I close my eyes? That I wake up and cry when he's not there? That the memories are so strong I can't separate hers from mine anymore?

यह प्यार भी अजीब था... क्या यह किसी तरह से बस बेहतर था? चूँकि ये इंसान इतनी शिद्दत से नफ़रत कर सकते थे, तो क्या इसका दूसरा पहलू यह था कि वे और भी ज़्यादा दिल, लगन और जूनून के साथ प्यार कर सकते थे?

This love was tricky...was it simply better somehow? Because these humans could hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire?

एडवर्ड," वह धीरे से बुदबुदाई। वह उसी के सपने देख रही थी। क्या कोई मरा हुआ, जमा हुआ दिल दोबारा धड़क सकता है? ऐसा लगा मानो मेरा दिल अब धड़कने ही वाला है। "यहीं रुको," उसने आह भरी। "जाना मत। प्लीज़... मत जाओ।"

निर्णय लेना ही मेरे लिए सबसे कठिन हिस्सा था, वह चीज़ जिस पर मैं बहुत माथापच्ची करती थी। लेकिन एक बार फ़ैसला हो जाने के बाद, मैं बस उस पर अमल करती थी—अक्सर इस राहत के साथ कि आखिरकार चुनाव हो तो गया। कभी-कभी उस राहत में निराशा की परछाई भी होती थी, जैसे फ़ोर्क्स आने का मेरा फ़ैसला। लेकिन फिर भी विकल्पों के बीच पिसने से तो वह कहीं बेहतर था।

Making decisions was the painful part for me, the part I agonized over. But once the decision was made, I simply followed through—usually with relief that the choice was made. Sometimes the relief was tainted by despair, like my decision to come to Forks. But it was still better than wrestling with the alternatives.

एम्मेत ने थोड़ी देर इस बारे में सोचा। 'क्या तुम सचमुच... उससे प्यार करते हो?' 'एम्मेत, मैं इसे बयान भी नहीं कर सकता। अचानक से, यह लड़की मेरे लिए पूरी दुनिया बन चुकी है। अब उसके बिना मुझे इस बाकी की दुनिया का कोई मतलब नज़र नहीं आता।'

Emmett thought about that for a moment. 'You really... love her?' 'I can't even describe it, Emmett. All of a sudden, this girl's the whole world to me. I don't see the point of the rest of the world without her anymore

तमाम ग्रहों और उन तमाम शरीरों को पीछे छोड़ने के बाद, आखिरकार तुम्हें वह जगह और वह शरीर मिल ही गया जिसके लिए तुम अपनी जान भी दे सकती हो। मुझे लगता है, वेंडरर, तुम्हें तुम्हारा आशियाना मिल गया है।

इयान ने बर्फ जैसी ठंडी आवाज़ में कहा, "मुझे अंदाज़ा लगाने दो। तुम किसी चट्टान पर गिर पड़े थे।"

Let me guess,' Ian said in a voice like ice. 'You fell on a rock.

मैं इतनी जल्दी वापस आ जाऊँगा कि तुम्हें मुझे याद करने का मौक़ा भी नहीं मिलेगा। मेरे दिल का ख़्याल रखना, मैं इसे तुम्हारे पास ही छोड़कर जा रहा हूँ

इयान ने कहा, "तू बेवकूफ गधा है। भाई, कीड़े पर किसका क्रश होता है? क्या तू मुझे बेवकूफ कहने वाला है?"

میں نے جیرڈ کی آنکھوں میں دیکھا، اور ایک عجیب سا واقعہ ہوا۔ ابھی ابھی جو کچھ میں نے محسوس کیا تھا اور جو یکسوئی مجھ پر طاری ہوئی تھی، وہ سب میرے جسم کے ایک کونے میں سمٹ گیا۔ میرے اندر کا باقی حصہ جیرڈ کے لیے اسی بے قرار اور دیوانہ وار چاہت سے تڑپ اٹھا جو میں نے اسے پہلی بار یہاں دیکھنے پر محسوس کی تھی۔ یہ جسم بم مشکل میرا یا میلانی کا تھا—یہ تو اسی کا ہو چکا تھا۔

I stared into Jared's eyes, and the strangest thing happened. All the melting and melding I had just been through was shoved aside, into the smallest part of my body, the little corner that I took up physically. The rest of me yearned toward Jared with the same desperate, half-crazed hunger I'd felt since the first time I'd seen him here. This body barely belonged to me or to Melanie-it belonged to him.

बेला स्वान का मेरे रास्ते से गुजरने का कोई सवाल ही नहीं पैदा होता था। वो तो किसी आफत की तरह थी, जिससे दूर रहने में ही भलाई थी।

There was no reason for Bella Swan to cross paths with me. She would be avoided like the plague she was.

اس کی آنکھیں یکایک کھل گئیں۔ "کیا مجھ سے محبت کرنا تمہارے لیے اتنا ناقابلِ برداشت ہے؟ کیا یہی بات ہے؟"

His eyes flashed open. “Is it so unbearable to have me love you? Is that it?

His eyes flashed open. “Is it so unbearable to have me love you? Is that it?

ये सब समझने में मुझे बस कुछ ही सेकंड लगे, लेकिन उस छोटे से अंतराल में भी मेरा पेट जैसे मुँह को आ गया हो और मैं गले तक घबराहट महसूस कर रहा था।

It took only seconds for me to make these discoveries, but even in that short time, my stomach nearly jumped through my mouth trying to reach the food.

शायद मैं कुछ ज्यादा ही भोला हूँ, पर मैं सच में यही मानता हूँ कि इस दुनिया में बहुत ज्यादा बुरे लोग नहीं हैं। मुझे लगता है कि हर इंसान के अपने काम के पीछे कुछ कारण होते हैं, और अगर आप सच में उनकी नजरों से दुनिया को देखें, तो शायद आप उन्हें समझ सकें।

Maybe it's because I'm a little naive, but I do like to think that there aren't really very many truly bad people in the world. I think that everybody has their reasons for what they do, and if you really look through their eyes, you could probably understand them.

آٹھ بھرپور زندگیاں،" میں نے اس کے جبڑے کے پاس سرگوشی کی، اور میری آواز بھرگئی۔ "آٹھ بھرپور زندگیاں اور مجھے کوئی ایسا شخص نہیں ملا جس کے لیے میں اس سیارے پر رک جاتی، جس کے جانے پر میں اس کے پیچھے چلی جاتی۔ مجھے کبھی کوئی ہم سفر نہیں ملا۔ اب کیوں؟ تم کیوں؟ تم میری نسل سے نہیں ہو۔ تم میرے ہم سفر کیسے ہو سکتے ہیں؟" "یہ کائنات بڑی عجیب ہے،" اس نے دھیرے سے کہا۔ "یہ ناانصافی ہے،" میں نے سونی کے الفاظ دہراتے ہوئے شکوہ کیا۔ یہ واقعی ناانصافی تھی۔ میں نے یہ محبت—اب، اس آخری وقت میں—کیسے پا لی تھی کہ اب مجھے اسے چھوڑنا پڑ رہا تھا؟ کیا یہ انصاف تھا کہ میری روح اور جسم میں ہم آہنگی نہیں ہو پا رہی تھی؟ کیا یہ انصاف تھا کہ مجھے میلانی سے بھی محبت کرنی پڑی؟

Eight full lives,” I whispered against his jaw, my voice breaking. “Eight full lives and I never found anyone I would stay on a planet for, anyone I would follow when they left. I never found a partner. Why now? Why you? You're not of my species. How can you be my partner?” “It's a strange universe,” he murmured. “It's not fair,” I complained, echoing Sunny's words. It wasn't fair. How could I find this, find love–now, in this eleventh hour–and have to leave it? Was it fair that my soul and body couldn't reconcile? Was it fair that I had to love Melanie, too?

“और इस तरह शेर को उस भेड़ के बच्चे से प्यार हो गया...” उसने फुसफुसा कर कहा। मैंने नजरें फेर लीं, अपनी आँखें छिपा लीं क्योंकि उसका वह एक-एक शब्द मेरे भीतर सिहरन पैदा कर रहा था। “कितनी बेवकूफ है वो भेड़,” मैंने आह भरी। “और कितना पागल, खुद को तकलीफ देने वाला है ये शेर।”

And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…" he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word. "What a stupid lamb," I sighed. "What a sick, masochistic lion.

इससे भी बढ़कर, मैंने कभी उससे प्यार करने की सोची भी नहीं थी। एक बात जो मैं गहराई से जानता था—अपने जिगर में, अपनी हड्डियों के बीचों-बीच, सिर के बाल से लेकर पैर के नाखून तक, अपने इस खाली सीने के बिल्कुल कोने-कोने में जानता था—वह यह थी कि प्यार किसी के भी पास आपको पूरी तरह तोड़ने की ताकत ले आता है।

Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you

तीन बातें ऐसी थीं जिन्हें लेकर मैं पूरी तरह आश्वस्त थी। पहली, एडवर्ड एक पिशाच था। दूसरी, उसका एक हिस्सा—और मुझे नहीं पता था कि वह कितना खतरनाक हो सकता है—मेरे खून का प्यासा था। और तीसरी, मैं बिना किसी शर्त के और हमेशा के लिए उसके प्यार में पागल थी।

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him - and I didn’t know how potent that part might be - that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

As a child, I actually wanted to be a lawyer. That was the goal. I didn't plan to be an author, and then even less, did I plan to produce movies. It all just happened.

क्या तुम्हें याद है जब तुमने मुझसे कहा था कि मैं खुद को साफ-साफ नहीं देख पाती? साफ है कि तुम भी बिल्कुल वैसे ही अंधे हो।

मुझे मालूम है—चलो इसके लिए हम गेम खेलते हैं," एलिस ने सुझाव दिया। "रॉक, पेपर, सिजर्स।" जैस्पर हँसा और एडवर्ड ने गहरी सांस ली। एडवर्ड ने तंज कसते हुए कहा, "तुम सीधे मुझे यह क्यों नहीं बता देती कि जीतता कौन है?" एलिस खुशी से चहक उठी। "मैं जीतती हूँ। बढ़िया।"

I know - I'll play you for it," Alice suggested. "Rock, paper, scissors." Jasper chuckled and Edward sighed. "Why don't you just tell me who wins?" Edward said wryly. Alice beamed. "I do. Excellent.

میں نے تیس کی عمر میں شہرت پائی۔ میری ایک حقیقی زندگی، بچے اور گھریلو ذمہ داریاں پہلے سے موجود تھیں، جیسے کپڑے دھونا اور باتھ روم صاف کرنا۔ جب آپ کے پاس یہ سب ہو تو زمین سے جڑے رہنا مشکل نہیں ہوتا۔ میرا خیال ہے کہ اگر آپ بارہ سال کی عمر میں حد سے زیادہ مشہور ہو جائیں اور ہر کوئی آپ سے کہے کہ آپ کتنے شاندار ہیں، تو شاید خود کو سنبھالنا بہت مشکل ہو جاتا ہے۔

I got famous in my 30s. I already had a real life and kids and responsibilities, like laundry and cleaning bathrooms. It's hard not be grounded when you have that. I think, if you get super-famous and everyone tells you you're wonderful when you're 12, it's probably a lot harder.

हजारों बार यह कहने के बाद भी कि मैं तुमसे प्यार करता हूँ, तुम सिर्फ एक बात पर मुझ पर से अपना भरोसा कैसे खो सकती हो?...मैं तुम्हारी आँखों में साफ पढ़ सकता था कि तुमने सचमुच यह मान लिया था कि अब मैं तुम्हें नहीं चाहता। इससे ज्यादा बेतुकी और घटिया बात और क्या हो सकती है—मानो ऐसा मुमकिन भी हो कि मैं तुम्हारे बिना जी सकूँ!

After all the thousand times I’ve told you I love you, how could you let one word break your faith in me?...I could see it in your eyes, that you honestly believed that I didn’t want you anymore. The most absurd, ridiculous concept—as if there were any way that I could exist without needing you!

मैं सच में कोई नियम नहीं तोड़ रहा हूँ। चार्ली ने कहा था कि मैं दोबारा कभी उस दरवाज़े से अंदर कदम नहीं रख सकता... तो मैं खिड़की से आ गया... फिर भी, मेरा इरादा साफ था," एडवर्ड ने कहा।

I am not really breaking any rules. Charlie said I could never take another step through the door again... I came in through the window... Still, the intent was clear," said Edward.

यकीनन, मरने का इससे बेहतर तरीका क्या होता, किसी और की जान बचाते हुए, किसी ऐसे की जिसे मैं प्यार करता था।

Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved.

चार्ली ने मेरा हाथ पकड़ा और दुनिया के सबसे पुराने रिवाज़ के तहत, उसे एडवर्ड के हाथ में सौंप दिया। मैंने उसकी त्वचा के ठंडे और जादुई अहसास को छुआ, और मुझे लगा जैसे मैं अपने घर आ गई हूँ।

Charlie took my hand and, in a symbol as old as the world, placed it in Edward’s. I touched the cool miracle of his skin, and I was home.

क्या तुम्हें लगता है कि मैं कभी इस बात में बेहतर हो पाऊंगा? कि जब भी तुम मुझे छुओ तो शायद मेरा दिल मेरे सीने से बाहर आने की कोशिश करना बंद कर दे?

Do you think I’ll ever get better at this? That my heart might someday stop trying to jump out of my chest whenever you touch me?

तो यह कुछ अलग था। अब मैं शानदार हो चुकी थी - उनके लिए भी और खुद के लिए भी। ऐसा लग रहा था जैसे मैं पिशाच (वैम्पायर) बनने के लिए ही पैदा हुई थी। इस ख्याल से मुझे हँसी भी आ रही थी और गाना गाने का मन भी कर रहा था। मुझे दुनिया में अपनी सही जगह मिल गई थी, वह जगह जहाँ मैं फिट बैठती थी, जहाँ मैं चमकती थी।

So this was different. I was amazing now - to them and to myself. It was like I had been born to be a vampire. The idea made me want to laugh, but it also made me want to sing. I had found my true place in the world, the place I fit, the place I shined.

उसने मुझे याद दिलाया कि जब मैं गया था तो उस पर क्या बीती थी—और जब मैं जाता हूँ तो आज भी उस पर क्या गुजरती है। इस बात को छेड़ने पर उसे बहुत बुरा लगता है, पर वह सही कहती है। मैं उस नुकसान की कभी भरपाई नहीं कर पाऊँगा, लेकिन फिर भी मैं कोशिश करना कभी बंद नहीं करूँगा।

She reminded me of what it did to her when I left — what it still does to her when I leave. She feels horrible about bringing that up, but she’s right. I’ll never be able to make up for that, but I’ll never stop trying anyway.

यह मेरा अनुभव रहा है कि कुछ तरह के कामकाजी रिश्तों में पैसों के मुनाफे से ज्यादा डर के कारण बेहतर प्रेरणा मिलती है।

मुझे खुशी है कि मैं आई। मुझे नहीं लगा था कि मैं आ पाऊँगी। लेकिन तुमसे मिलना अच्छा लगा... एक बार फिर। यह उतना दर्दनाक नहीं था जितना मैंने सोचा था।

वू!" एमेट ने अचानक अपनी भारी और गूँजती आवाज़ में दहाड़ लगाई। "गो Gators!" जैकब और चार्ली चौंककर उछल पड़े। हम बाकी सब लोग वहीं जम गए। चार्ली ने खुद को संभाला, फिर मुड़कर कंधे के ऊपर से एमेट को देखा। "क्या फ्लोरिडा जीत रही है?" एमेट ने पुष्टि की, "अभी-अभी पहला टचडाउन किया है।" उसने मंचीय खलनायकों (vaudville) की तरह अपनी भौंहें मटकाते हुए मेरी तरफ देखा। "अरे, आखिरकार यहाँ किसी ने तो स्कोर किया।"

Woo!" Emmett suddenly boomed in his deep bass. "Go Gators!" Jacob and Charlie jumped. The rest of us froze. Charlie recovered, then looked at Emmett over his shoulder. "Florida winning?" "Just scored the first touchdown," Emmett confirmed. He shot a look in my direction, wagging his eyebrows like a villain in vaudville. "'Bout time somebody scored around here.

उसकी गहरी काली आँखों में छिपी हँसी, मेरे हाथ के इर्द-गिर्द उसके बड़े हाथ की बुखार जैसी तपन, उसकी सांवली त्वचा पर चमकते उसके सफेद दांत, और उसका वह चौड़ा मुस्कुराता हुआ चेहरा जो हमेशा से एक ऐसी जादुई चाबी की तरह था जो सिर्फ उन लोगों के लिए एक गुप्त दरवाज़ा खोलती थी जिनकी रूहें आपस में मिलती थीं।

The laughter in his deep-set black eyes, the feverish heat of his big hand around mine, the flash of his white teeth against his dark skin, his face stretching into the wide smile that had always been like a key to a secret door where only kindred spirits could enter.

मेरे मन में, कार्लाइल की दयालु आँखें मुझे बिल्कुल नहीं परख रही थीं (दोषी नहीं ठहरा रही थीं)। मैं जानती थी कि मैं जो यह भयानक काम करने जा रही हूँ, उसके लिए वह मुझे माफ कर देंगे। क्योंकि वह मुझसे प्यार करते थे। क्योंकि उन्हें लगता था कि मैं वास्तव में जैसी हूँ, उससे कहीं ज़्यादा अच्छी हूँ। और वह तब भी मुझसे प्यार करते रहेंगे, भले ही अब मैं यह साबित कर रही थी कि वह गलत थे।

In my head, Carlisle’s kind eyes did not judge me. I knew that he would forgive me for this horrible act that I would do. Because he loved me. Because he thought I was better than I was. And he would still love me, even as I now proved him wrong.

मैं अपने दिमाग में मचे इस कोहराम को समझ नहीं पा रहा था। डिएगो मर चुका था, और यही सबसे मुख्य और दिल तोड़ देने वाली बात थी। इसके अलावा, लड़ाई खत्म हो चुकी थी, मेरा कबीला (कैन) हार गया था और मेरे दुश्मन जीत चुके थे। लेकिन मेरे उस मरे हुए कबीले में ऐसे लोग भरे पड़े थे जो मुझे जलते हुए देखने के लिए बेताब रहते, और मेरे दुश्मन मुझसे कितनी नरमी से बात कर रहे थे जबकि ऐसा करने की उनकी कोई वजह नहीं थी।

I couldn‘t make sense of the mess in my head. Diego was dead, and that was the main thing, the devastating thing. Other than that, the fight was over, my coven had lost and my enemies had won. But my dead coven was full of people who would have loved to watch me burn, and my enemies were speaking to me kindly when they had no reason to.

हाँ, क्योंकि वैम्पायर स्लीपर पार्टी सुरक्षा को ध्यान में रखकर की जाने वाली सबसे समझदारी भरी चीज़ है।

Yes, because a vampire slumber party is the pinnacle of safety conscious behavior.

यह उनके बारे में नहीं है, उसने मुझ पर गुर्राते हुए कहा। यह बेला के बारे में है। वह कभी तुम्हारे लायक थी ही नहीं, उसने कभी तुम्हारा चुनाव नहीं किया, पर फिर भी तुम उसके लिए अपनी ज़िंदगी बर्बाद किए जा रहे हो!

This isn't about them, he snarled at me. This is about Bella. She has never been the one for you, she had never chosen you, but you continue to destroy your life for her!

क्या एक मुर्दा, जमा हुआ दिल दोबारा धड़क सकता है? मुझे ऐसा लगा जैसे मेरा दिल अब धड़कने ही वाला है।

Could a dead, frozen heart beat again? It felt like mine was about to.

ये बात पक्की तो नहीं है, पर मैं इसकी तुलना टोफू और सोया मिल्क पर जीने से करूँगा; हम खुद को शाकाहारी कहते हैं, जो हमारा अपना ही एक मज़ाकिया अंदाज़ है।

I can’t be sure, of course, but I’d compare it to living on tofu and soy milk; we call ourselves vegetarians, our little inside joke. - Edward Cullen

तुम जानते हो जैकब, अगर यह बात न होती कि हम जन्मजात दुश्मन हैं और तुम मेरे वजूद की वजह को ही मुझसे छीनने की कोशिश कर रहे हो, तो शायद मैं तुम्हें सचमुच पसंद करने लगता।

You know, Jacob, if it weren’t for the fact that we’re natural enemies and that you’re also trying to steal away the reason for my existence, I might actually like you.

वह एक पल के लिए खामोश रहा और खिड़की से बाहर बारिश को घूरने लगा; मैंने सोचा कि वह इस बात पर विचार कर रहा होगा कि उसके परिवार की मौजूदगी यहाँ के स्थानीय लोगों को विशालकाय कुत्तों में बदल रही है।

He was silent for a moment, staring out the window into the rain; I imagined he was contemplating the fact that his family's presence was turning the locals into giant dogs.

कभी-कभी किस्मत खुद अपना रास्ता बना लेती है।

Sometimes, kismet happens.

Sometimes, kismet happens.

क्योंकि जीने के लिए मुझे सिर्फ एक ही बात पर यकीन करना था—मुझे बस यह जानना था कि उसका वजूद है। बस इतना ही। बाक़ी सब कुछ मैं सह सकती थी। जब तक उसका वजूद था।

Because there was just one thing that I had to believe to be able to live - I had to know that he existed. That was all. Everything else I could endure. So long as he existed.

लेकिन खुशी की इस सुनामी में सबसे बड़ी और पक्की बात यह थी कि मैं एडवर्ड के साथ थी। हमेशा के लिए - बेला कुलेन

But most significant in this tidal wave of happiness was the surest fact of all: I was with Edward. Forever - Bella Cullen

But most significant in this tidal wave of happiness was the surest fact of all: I was with Edward. Forever - Bella Cullen

क्या तुम्हें किसी ने कभी नहीं बताया? ज़िंदगी कभी निष्पक्ष नहीं होती।

Hasn’t anyone ever told you? Life isn’t fair.

Hasn’t anyone ever told you? Life isn’t fair.

मुझे ऐसा महसूस हुआ कि एडवर्ड उन लोगों में से नहीं था जिसकी आदत किसी को आसानी से हो जाए।

I had the feeling Edward wasn't the kind of person anyone got used to.

"मेरे दिमाग में आवाज़ें गूँजती हैं और तुम्हें फ़िक्र इस बात की है कि कहीं तुम कोई अजीब प्राणी तो नहीं," वह हँसा।

I hear voices in my mind and you're worried that you're the freak,” he laughed.

“तुम कितने साल के हो?” “सत्रह,” उसने झट से जवाब दिया। “और तुम्हें सत्रह साल के हुए कितना वक्त हो गया?” सड़क पर टकटकी लगाए हुए उसके होंठ फड़फड़ाए। “कुछ वक्त,” आखिरकार उसने मान ही लिया।

How old are you?” “Seventeen,” he answered promptly. “And how long have you been seventeen?” His lips twitched as he stared at the road. “A while,” he admitted at last.

How old are you?” “Seventeen,” he answered promptly. “And how long have you been seventeen?” His lips twitched as he stared at the road. “A while,” he admitted at last.

“क्या तुम रहोगे?” मैंने अचानक घबराकर पूछा। “क्या तुम सचमुच यहीं रहोगे?” “जब तक तुम चाहोगी,” उसने मुझे भरोसा दिलाया। “मैं हमेशा तुम्हें चाहूँगा,” मैंने उसे चेताया। “हमेशा के लिए।”

Will you be?” I asked, suddenly anxious. “Will you really be here?” “As long as you want me,” he assured me. “I'll always want you,” I warned him. “Forever.

Will you be?” I asked, suddenly anxious. “Will you really be here?” “As long as you want me,” he assured me. “I'll always want you,” I warned him. “Forever.

“तुमने… मुझे… बेहोश कर दिया,” मैंने चक्कर खाते हुए उसपर इल्ज़ाम लगाया। “मैं तुम्हारा क्या करूँ?” उसने झुंझलाहट मेंाहते हुए कहा। “कल मैंने तुम्हें चूमा और तुमने मुझ पर हमला कर दिया! आज तुम मेरे सामने ही बेहोश हो गई!” मैं कमज़ोरी से हँस गई, और जब मेरा सिर घूम रहा था, तो मैंने उसकी बाहों का सहारा ले लिया। “सब कुछ करने में माहिर होने का तो जैसे यही हस्र होता है,” उसने आह भरी। “समस्या यही है।” मेरा सिर अभी भी घूम रहा था। “तुम बहुत ज़्यादा अच्छे हो। बहुत, बहुत ज़्यादा अच्छे।”

You…made…me…faint,” I accused him dizzily. “What am I going to do with you?” he groaned in exasperation. “Yesterday I kiss you, and you attack me! Today you pass out on me!” I laughed weakly, letting his arms support me while my head spun. “So much for being good at everything,” he sighed. “That's the problem.” I was still dizzy. “You're too good. Far, far too good.

"और तुम परेशान इसलिए हो क्योंकि तुम वैम्पायरों से भरे एक घर में जाने वाली हो, यह सोचकर नहीं, बल्कि इसलिए क्योंकि तुम्हें लगता है कि वे वैम्पायर तुम्हें स्वीकार नहीं करेंगे, है ना?" "जी हाँ," मैंने झिझकते हुए उसके इस शब्द के सहज इस्तेमाल पर अपनी हैरानी छिपाते हुए तुरंत जवाब दिया। उसने अपना सिर हिलाया। "तुम कमाल हो।"

"And you're worried, not because you're headed to meet a houseful of vampires, but because you think those vampires won't approve of you, correct?” “That's right,” I answered immediately, hiding my surprise at his casual use of the word. He shook his head. “You're incredible."

मैं छलांग लगाने के लिए तनाव में आ गया, अपनी आँखें भींच लीं और डरकर पीछे हट गया, और एडवर्ड की गुस्से भरी दहाड़ की आवाज़ मेरे दिमाग के किसी कोने में गूँज उठी। उसका नाम उन सारी दीवारों को तोड़कर बाहर आ गया जो मैंने उसे रोकने के लिए बनाई थीं। एडवर्ड, एडवर्ड, एडवर्ड। मैं मरने वाली थी। इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ना चाहिए कि मैं अब उसके बारे में सोच रही थी। एडवर्ड, मैं तुमसे प्यार करती हूँ।

I tensed for the spring, my eyes squinting as I cringed away, and the sound of Edward's furious roar echoed distantly in the back of my head. His name burst through all the walls I'd built to contain it. Edward, Edward, Edward. I was going to die. It shouldn't matter if I thought of him now. Edward, I love you.

मैं तुम्हारे बारे में जैसा महसूस करती हूँ, वह कभी नहीं बदलेगा। ज़ाहिर है कि मैं तुमसे प्यार करती हूँ—और तुम इसके बारे में कुछ नहीं कर सकती!” “मुझे बस यही सुनना था।”

The way I feel about you will never change. Of course I love you—and there's nothing you can do about it!” “That's all I needed to hear.

The way I feel about you will never change. Of course I love you—and there's nothing you can do about it!” “That's all I needed to hear.

चुपचाप, मैंने अपना डॉगी बाउल फर्श से उठाया। फिर, अपनी कलाई के एक तेज और जोरदार झटके के साथ, मैंने उसे 'ब्लॉन्डी' के सिर के पिछले हिस्से पर इतनी जोर से दे मारा कि—एक कानफाड़ू धमाके के साथ—वह चपटी होकर बिखर गई और कमरे में उछलते हुए सीढ़ियों के पास लगे मोटे नएल पोस्ट के गोल ऊपरी हिस्से को तोड़कर दूर जा गिरी।

Silently, I lifted my doggy bowl off the floor. Then, with a quick, powerful flip of my wrist, I threw it into the back of Blondie’s head so hard that – with an earsplitting bang – it smashed flat before it ricocheted across the room and snapped the round top piece off the thick newel post at the foot of the stairs.

मैं दुनिया की बाकी हर चीज़ से बढ़कर तुमसे प्यार करता हूँ।

I love you more than anything in the world combined.

मैं तुम्हें चाहता हूँ, और हमेशा के लिए चाहता हूँ। मेरे लिए एक ज़िंदगी काफी नहीं है।

I'll always be waiting in the wings Bella

मैं तो बस यह सोच रहा था कि तुमने उसे चाकू क्यों मारा। ऐसा नहीं है कि मुझे इस बात से कोई आपत्ति है।

I was just wondering why you stabbed him. Not that I object.

मेरी और उसकी ज़िंदगी एक ही धागे में पिरोई हुई थी। एक को काटो, तो दोनों कट जाते। अगर वह चला जाता, तो मैं वह सब सह नहीं पाती। अगर मैं चली जाती, तो वह भी ज़िंदा नहीं रह पाता।

My life and his were twisted into a single strand. Cut one, and you cut both. If he were gone, I would not be able to live through that. If I were gone, he wouldn't live through it, either.

उसके चेहरे पर मुस्कान ऐसे फैल गई जैसे उगते सूरज ने बादलों में आग लगा दी हो।

The smile broke across his face the way the sunrise set the clouds on fire.

The smile broke across his face the way the sunrise set the clouds on fire.

और जिस मुस्कान का मैं इंतज़ार कर रही थी, वह उसके चेहरे पर ऐसे फैल गई जैसे सूरज बादलों को चीरकर बाहर निकल आता है।

and the smile I'd been waiting for stretched across his face like the sun breaking free of the clouds.

and the smile I'd been waiting for stretched across his face like the sun breaking free of the clouds.

मैं उसे ऐसे चाहती थी जैसे साँस लेने के लिए हवा की ज़रूरत होती है। यह कोई चुनाव नहीं—एक ज़रूरत थी।

I wanted him like I wanted air to breathe. Not a choice- a necessity.

I wanted him like I wanted air to breathe. Not a choice- a necessity.

अकेले रहना अच्छा लग रहा था, जहाँ मुस्कुराने और खुश दिखने की कोई मजबूरी नहीं थी; खिड़की से बाहर झमाझम बारिश को मायूसी से घूरना और कुछ आँसुओं को बह जाने देना एक राहत की तरह था।

It was nice to be alone, not to have to smile and look pleased; a relief to stare dejectedly out the window at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape.

अगर हमारी कहानियों का अंत हमेशा खुशी से होता, तो आज हम सब कब्रों के नीचे सो रहे होते।

If we had happy endings, we’d all be under gravestones now.

“वह तुम्हारे लिए किसी नशे की तरह है, बेला।” उसकी आवाज़ अभी भी कोमल थी, ज़रा भी आलोचनात्मक नहीं। “मैं देख सकता हूँ कि अब तुम उसके बिना नहीं जी सकतीं। अब बहुत देर हो चुकी है। लेकिन मैं तुम्हारे लिए ज़्यादा बेहतर साबित होता। कोई नशा नहीं; मैं तुम्हारी हवा, तुम्हारा सूरज बनता।” मेरे होंठों के कोने एक सूखी सी अधमुस्कान में मुड़ गए। “जानते हो, मैं भी तुम्हारे बारे में ऐसा ही सोचती थी। सूरज की तरह। मेरा अपना निजी सूरज। तुम मेरे लिए बादलों के बीच बहुत अच्छा संतुलन बनाए रखते थे।” उसने आह भरी। “बादलों को तो मैं संभाल सकता हूँ। पर मैं किसी ग्रहण से नहीं लड़ सकता।”

He's like a drug for you, Bella." His voice was still gentle, not at all critical. "I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. but I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun." The corner of my mouth turned up in a wistful half-smile. "I used to think of you that way, you know. Like the sun. My personal sun. You balanced out the clouds nicely for me." He sighed. "The clouds I can handle. But I can't fight with an eclipse.

आज रात आसमान पूरी तरह काला था। शायद आज रात चाँद नहीं था—एक चंद्रग्रहण, एक अमावस्या। एक अमावस्या। मैं काँप उठी, हालाँकि मुझे ठंड नहीं लग रही थी।

Tonight the sky was utterly black. Perhaps there was no moon tonight—a lunar eclipse, a new moon. A new moon. I shivered, though I wasn't cold.

कभी-कभी यह भूल जाना बहुत आसान हो जाता था कि मैं किसी वैम्पायर को चूम रही थी।

Sometimes it was so easy to forget that I was kissing a vampire.

क्या मैं तुम्हें चकाचौंध कर देता हूँ? - यह सवाल मैंने बिना सोचे-समझे पूछ लिया, और फिर शब्द मेरे मुँह से निकल चुके थे, जिन्हें वापस लेना अब बहुत देर हो चुकी थी। पर इससे पहले कि मैं अपने कहे पर ज़्यादा पछतावा कर पाती, उसने जवाब दिया, "अक्सर।" और उसके गालों पर हल्की सी लाली छा गई। मैंने उसे चकाचौंध कर दिया था। मेरा शांत दिल ऐसी उम्मीद से भर उठा जो मैंने पहले कभी महसूस नहीं की थी।

Do I dazzle you?" I voiced my curiosity impulsively, and then the words were out, and it was too late to recall them. But before I had time to too deeply regret speaking the words aloud, she answered "Frequently." And her cheeks took on a faint pink glow. I dazzled her. My silent heart swelled with a hope more intense than I could ever remember having felt before.

कभी-कभी मुझे हैरानी होती थी कि क्या मैं अपनी आँखों से वही सब देख रही हूँ जो बाकी दुनिया अपनी आँखों से देख रही है। शायद मेरे दिमाग में कोई गड़बड़ हो गई थी।

Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain.

बैचलर पार्टी उन लोगों के लिए होती है जो अपने कुँवारेपन के दिन बीत जाने पर दुखी होते हैं। मैं अपने इन दिनों को पीछे छोड़ने के लिए बेताब था। इसलिए इसका अब कोई मतलब नहीं बनता।

Bachelor parties are designed for those who are sad to see the passing of their single days. I couldn’t be more eager to have mine behind me. So there’s really no point.

मैं इंसानों के दुख के उस अतिशयोक्तिपूर्ण रूप को जानती थी—टूटा हुआ दिल।

I knew the human exaggeration for sorrow-a broken heart.

"पर अब तुम दुखी हो," उसने बात रखी। "और?" मैंने चुनौती दी। "यह तो ठीक नहीं है।" उसने कंधे उचकाए, पर उसकी आँखें अभी भी गहरी थीं। मैं बिना किसी भावना के हँस पड़ी। "क्या किसी ने तुम्हें बताया नहीं? ज़िंदगी निष्पक्ष नहीं है।" "मुझे लगता है मैंने यह कहीं पहले सुना है," उसने रूखेपन से सहमति जताई।

But now you're unhappy," he pointed out. "And?" I challenged. "That doesn't seem fair." He shrugged, but his eyes were still intense. I laughed without humour. "Hasn't anyone told you? Life isn't fair." "I believe I have heard that somewhere before," he agreed dryly.

मैं स्कूल जाने को लेकर उत्साहित थी, और इस बात ने मुझे डरा दिया था। मैं जानती थी कि यह उस प्रेरणादायक सीखने के माहौल की वजह से नहीं था जिसकी मैं उम्मीद कर रही थी, और न ही अपने नए दोस्तों से मिलने के लिए था। अगर मैं खुद से सच कहूँ, तो मैं जानती थी कि मैं स्कूल जाने के लिए इसलिए उत्सुक थी क्योंकि मुझे एडवर्ड कलन से मिलना था। और यह बहुत, बहुत बेवकूफी भरी बात थी।

I felt excited to go to school, and that scared me. I knew it wasn't the simulating learning environment I was anticipating, or seeing my new set of friends. If I was being honest with myself, I knew I was eager to get to school because I would see Edward Culllen. And that was very, very stupid.

क्योंकि जब भी मैं उसके बारे में सोचती, उसकी आवाज़, उसकी सम्मोहक आँखें और उसके व्यक्तित्व के चुंबकीय खिंचाव के बारे में, तो मैं सिवाय इसके और कुछ नहीं चाहती थी कि मैं इस वक्त बस उसके साथ रहूँ।

Because when I thought of him, of his voice, his hypnotic eyes, the magnetic force of his personality, I wanted nothing more than to be with him right now.

यह हैरानी की बात थी कि कैसे मेरा दम घोंट देने वाला डर पलक झपकते ही गायब हो गया, यह कितनी हैरानी की बात थी कि सुरक्षा का एहसास मुझ पर अचानक हावी हो गया—इससे पहले कि मैं सड़क से हटती—बस उसकी आवाज़ सुनते ही।

It was amazing how instantaneously the choking fear vanished, amazing how suddenly the feeling of security washed over me - even before I was off the street - as soon as I heard his voice.

It was amazing how instantaneously the choking fear vanished, amazing how suddenly the feeling of security washed over me - even before I was off the street - as soon as I heard his voice.

तुमसे दूर रहना मुझे... बेचैन... कर देता है।

It makes me . . . anxious . . . to be away from you.

It makes me . . . anxious . . . to be away from you.

और फिर, जैसे ही कमरा अंधेरे में डूब गया, मुझे अचानक इस बात का तीव्र अहसास हुआ कि एडवर्ड मुझसे एक इंच की दूरी पर भी नहीं बैठा था। मुझमें जो अचानक ऊर्जा का संचार हुआ, उससे मैं सन्न रह गई, मुझे इस बात पर हैरानी हुई कि मैं उसके प्रति पहले से कहीं अधिक जागरूक हो सकती थी। उसे छूने की, अंधेरे में एक बार उसके खूबसूरत चेहरे को सहलाने की एक पागल कर देने वाली इच्छा मुझ पर हावी होने को थी। मैंने अपनी बाहों को अपनी छाती पर कसकर क्रॉस कर लिया, और मेरे हाथ मुट्ठियों में भींच गए। मैं अपना मानसिक संतुलन खो रही थी।

And then, as the room went black, I was suddenly hyperaware that Edward was sitting less than an inch from me. I was stunned by the unexpected electricity that flowed through me, amazed that it was possible to be more aware of him than I already was. A crazy impulse to reach over and touch him, to stroke his perfect face just once in the darkness, nearly overwhelmed me. I crossed my arms tightly across my chest, my hands balling into fists. I was losing my mind.

तुम किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति की तरह नहीं हो जिसे मैं कभी जानती थी। तुम मुझे सम्मोहित करती हो।

You're not like anyone I've ever known. You fascinate me.

तुम्हारे साथ खुद होना बहुत आसान है।

It's too easy to be myself with you.

इतने... आशावादी मत बनो, यह मुझे परेशान कर रहा है।" "कोई बात नहीं। क्या तुम चाहते हो कि मैं पूरी तरह निराशावादी बन जाऊँ या बस अपना मुँह बंद रखूँ?" "बस अपना मुँह बंद रखो।" "ठीक है, कर देता हूँ।" "सच में? ऐसा लगता तो नहीं है।" -जैकब और सेथ

Stop being so...optimistic, its getting on my nerves." "No problem. Do you want me to be all gloom and doom or just shut up?" "Just shut up." "Can do." "Really? Doesn't seem like it." -Jacob and seth

एलिस! तुम जानती हो मैं तुम्हें एक बहन की तरह प्यार करता हूँ!" "ये तो बस कहने की बातें हैं।" वह गुरराई।

Alice! You know I love you like a sister!" "Words." she growled.

Alice! You know I love you like a sister!" "Words." she growled.

तुम्हारे बाल घास के ढेर जैसे लगते हैं... पर मुझे यह पसंद है।

चुंबन हमेशा की तरह ही शुरू हुआ—एडवर्ड हमेशा की तरह बहुत सावधानी बरत रहा था, और मेरा दिल हमेशा की तरह ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा धड़कने लगा था। और तभी कुछ बदलता हुआ महसूस हुआ। अचानक उसके होंठ ज़्यादा बेताब हो गए, उसका आज़ाद हाथ मेरे बालों में उलझ गया और उसने मेरे चेहरे को कसकर थाम लिया। और हालाँकि मैं साफ़ तौर पर उसकी तय की गई सीमाओं को पार करने लगी थी, पर इस बार उसने मुझे नहीं रोका। हल्की रज़ाई के पार से उसका शरीर ठंडा था, पर मैं बेताबी से उससे चिपक गई।

The kiss began much the same as usual--Edward was as careful as ever, and my heart began to overreact like it always did. And then something seemed to change. Suddenly his lips became much more urgent, his free hand twisted into my hair and held my face securely to his. And though I was clearly beginning to cross his cautious lines, for once he didn't stop me. His body was cold through the thin quilt, but I crushed myself against him eagerly.

And though I was clearly beginning to cross his cautious lines, for once he didn't stop me. His body was cold through the thin quilt, but I crushed myself against him eagerly.

जैकब भगवान का दिया हुआ एक वरदान था।

Jacob was a gift from the gods.

मैं अपने रिश्ते की इन धुंधली होती सीमाओं से आखिर कैसे लड़ पाती जबकि उसके साथ रहना मुझे इतना अच्छा लगता था?

How was I ever going to fight the blurring lines in our relationship when I enjoyed being with him so much?

बात बस यह है कि मैं जानता हूँ तुम अक्सर बहुत दुखी रहती हो। और, शायद इससे कोई मदद न मिले, पर मैं चाहता था कि तुम्हें पता हो कि मैं हमेशा यहाँ हूँ। मैं तुम्हें कभी निराश नहीं होने दूंगा—मैं वादा करता हूँ कि तुम हमेशा मुझ पर भरोसा कर सकती हो। अरे वाह, यह बात कितनी फिल्मी लगती है। पर तुम जानती हो ना? यह कि मैं तुम्हें कभी, कभी भी चोट नहीं पहुँचाऊँगा?" "हाँ जेक। मैं जानती हूँ। और मैं पहले से ही तुम पर भरोसा करती हूँ, शायद जितना तुम सोचते हो, उससे कहीं ज़्यादा।"

It's just that, I know how you're unhappy a lot. And, maybe it doesn't help anything, but I wanted you to know that I'm always here. I won't ever let you down―I promise that you can always count on me. Wow, that does sound corny. But you know that, right? That I would never, ever hurt you?" "Yeah Jake. I know that. And I already do count on you, probably more than you know.

संक्षेप में, उसने सचमुच एक चट्टान से छलांग लगा दी थी, पर वह खुद को मारने की कोशिश नहीं कर रही थी। आजकल बेला का पूरा ध्यान सिर्फ़ खतरनाक खेलों पर रहता है।" मैं शर्म से लाल हो गई और अपनी नज़रें सीधे आगे की तरफ़ कर लीं, उस अंधेरी परछाई को देखने लगी जो अब मुझे दिखाई नहीं दे रही थी। मैं कल्पना कर सकती थी कि एलिस के विचारों में वह अब क्या सुन रहा होगा। डूबते-डूबते बचना, पीछा करने वाले पिशाच, भेड़िए दोस्त... "हूँ," एडवर्ड ने रुखेपन से कहा, और उसकी आवाज़ का वह बेपरवाह अंदाज़ गायब हो चुका था।

In summary, she did jump off a cliff, but she wasn't trying to kill herself. Bella's all about the extreme sports these days." I flushed and turned my eyes straight ahead, looking after the dark shadow that I could no longer see. I could imagine what he was hearing in Alice's thoughts now. Near-drowings, stalking vampires, werewolf friends . . . "Hm," Edward said curtly, and the casual tone of his voice was gone.

क्या मेरे लिए इस वक्त खुश होना सचमुच गलत है?" मैंने पूछा। मेरी आवाज़ दो बार काँप उठी। उसने मुझे खुद से दूर नहीं किया। उसने मुझे अपनी बर्फ जैसी सख्त छाती से कसकर लगा लिया, इतना कसकर कि साँस लेना मुश्किल हो रहा था, भले ही मेरे फेफड़े पूरी तरह से ठीक थे। "मैं अच्छी तरह समझता हूँ कि तुम्हारा क्या मतलब है," वह फुसफुसाया। "लेकिन हमारे पास खुश होने की बहुत सी वजहें हैं। एक तो यह कि हम ज़िंदा हैं।" "हाँ," मैंने सहमति जताई। "यह एक अच्छी वजह है।" "और एक साथ हैं," उसने साँस लेते हुए कहा। उसकी साँसें इतनी मीठी थीं कि मेरा सिर चकरा गया।

Is it really sick for me to be happy right now?" I asked. My voice broke twice. He didn't push me away. He pulled me tight against his ice-hard chest, so tight it was hard to breathe, even with my lungs securely intact. "I know exactly what you mean," he whispered. "But we have lot of reasons to be happy. For one, we're alive." "Yes," I agreed. "That's a good one." "And together," he breathed. His breath was so sweet it made my head swim.

यह अंत नहीं है। यह शुरुआत है।

It's not the end. It's the beginning.

It's not the end. It's the beginning.

और फिर मैंने देखा कि वह उसे किस नज़रों से देख रहा था... जैसे कि वह कोई अंधा व्यक्ति हो, जो पहली बार सूरज को देख रहा हो।

And then I saw the way he looked at her... like he was a blind man, seeing the sun for the very first time.

कम से कम वह ज़िंदा और ठीक तो है। मैं उससे इतना प्यार करती हूँ कि मैं यही चाहती हूँ। मैं चाहती हूँ कि उसके साथ वही हो जो उसके लिए सबसे अच्छा हो।" उसने आह भरी। "बस मैं यह सब देखने के लिए वहाँ रुकना नहीं चाहती।"

At least he's alive and well. I love him enough that I want that. I want him to have what's best for him." She sighed. "I just don't want to stick around to watch.

मैं जानती थी कि इसकी शुरुआत अंत के साथ होगी, और इन आँखों के लिए वह अंत मौत जैसा दिखाई देगा। मुझे चेतावनी दी गई थी।

I knew it would begin with the end, and the end would look like death to these eyes. I had been warned.

सच्चाई से मुँह मोड़ने का कोई फायदा नहीं है। उसे ज़ोर से बोल देने से वह और बदतर नहीं हो जाती।

वैंडरर: तुम असल में मेरे बारे में ऐसा नहीं सोचती हो, जानती हो। बात इस जिस्म की है... यह सुंदर है, है ना? इयान: यह है। मेलानी बहुत सुंदर लड़की है। बल्कि खूबसूरत। पर जितनी भी खूबसूरत हो, वह मेरे लिए एक अजनबी है। वह वह नहीं है जिसकी मुझे... परवाह है। वैंडरर: बात इस जिस्म की है। इयान: यह बिल्कुल सच नहीं है। बात चेहरे की नहीं, बल्कि उस पर आए भावों की है। बात आवाज़ की नहीं, बल्कि जो कहा जाता है उसकी है। बात यह नहीं है कि तुम इस जिस्म में कैसी दिखती हो, बल्कि यह है कि तुम इसके साथ क्या करती हो। तुम खूबसूरत हो।

Wanderer: You don't really feel that way about me you know. It's this body... she's pretty isn't she? Ian: She is. Melanie is a very pretty girl. Even beautiful. But pretty as she is, she is a stranger to me. She's not the one I... care about. Wanderer: It's this body. Ian: That's not true at all. It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what they say. It's not how you look like in that body, it's what you do with it. You are beautiful.

चिंता मत करो, मेल। चमत्कार ऐसे काम नहीं करते। मैं तुम्हें कभी नहीं खोऊँगा। मैं तुम्हें कभी अपने से दूर नहीं जाने दूंगा।

Don't worry, Mel. Miracles don't work that way. I'll never lose you. I'll never let you get away from me.

शायद तुम्हारी किस्मत चमक जाए," मैंने बुझे मन से अपने लड़खड़ाते कदमों से कहा, "शायद वापसी में मुझे कोई ट्रक कुचल दे।

Maybe you'll get lucky." I said bleakly, lurching on my feet. "Maybe I'll get hit by a truck on my way back.

क्या अब वह तुम्हारा वार्डन भी बन गया है? तुम्हें पता है, पिछले हफ्ते मैंने न्यूज़ पर नियंत्रित और शोषक किशोर रिश्तों के बारे में एक कहानी देखी थी और—" "बस!" मैंने उसकी बात काट दी, और फिर उसके हाथ को धक्का दिया। "अब वेयरवफ के यहाँ से निकलने का समय आ गया है!"

Is he your warden now too? You know I saw this story on the news last week about controlling, abusive teenage relationships and- "Okay!" I cut him off, and then shoved his arm. "Time for the werewolf to get out!

सच-सच बताओ, मैं कितनी डरावनी लग रही हूँ?" उसने एक कदम पीछे लिया और अपने होंठ सिकोड़ लिए। "इतनी बुरी, है ना?" मैंने बुदबुदाया। "नहीं, नहीं बेला। असल में..." ऐसा लगा जैसे वह सही शब्द ढूंढने के लिए संघर्ष कर रहा हो। "तुम... बहुत आकर्षक लग रही हो।" मैं ज़ोर से हँस पड़ी। "ज़रूर।" वाकई, बहुत आकर्षक।

Be honest, how hideous do I look?" He took another step back and pursed his lips. "That bad, huh?" I muttered. No, no Bella. Actually. . ." He seemed to be struggling for the right word. "You look. . .sexy." I laughed out loud. "Right." Very sexy, really.

मैंने बिल्ली ब्लैक की आवाज़ में छिपी उस रोबदार गरिमा को पहले कभी नहीं पहचाना था, हालाँकि अब मुझे एहसास हुआ कि यह अधिकार हमेशा से वहीं मौजूद था।

Never before had I recognized the ring of majesty that was in Billy Black's voice, though I realized now that this authority had always been there.

एक लड़की सपने तो देख सकती ही है।" उसकी भौहें उचट गईं। "तुम इसी तरह के सपने देखती हो? एक राक्षस बनने के?" "ठीक वैसे नहीं," मैंने उसके शब्दों के चुनाव पर माथे पर बल डालते हुए कहा। राक्षस, भला! "ज़्यादातर सपने मैं तुम्हारे साथ हमेशा रहने के ही देखती हूँ।"

A girl can dream." His eyebrows rose. "Is that what you dream about? Being a monster?" "Not exactly," I said, frowning at his word choice. Monster, indeed. "Mostly I dream about being with you forever.

"अरे जैकब!" उसकी मुस्कान देखकर मेरे भीतर उत्साह की एक अनचाही सी लहर दौड़ गई। मुझे अहसास हुआ कि उसे देखकर मुझे खुशी हुई थी। इस बात ने मुझे हैरान कर दिया। मैंने भी जवाब में मुस्कुरा दिया, और कुछ ऐसे अपनी जगह पर फिट बैठ गया जैसे पहेली के दो टुकड़े आपस में जुड़ जाते हैं। मैं भूल ही गई थी कि जैकब ब्लैक मुझे वाकई कितना पसंद था।

"Hey Jacob!" I felt an unfamiliar surge of enthusiasm at his smile. I realized that I was pleased to see him. This knowledge surprised me. I smiled back, and something clicked silently into place, like two corresponding puzzle pieces. I'd forgotten how much I really liked Jacob Black.

मुझे अपनी आँखों पर यकीन नहीं हो रहा था कि मैंने अभी-अभी अपनी इस वीरान जिंदगी की दास्तान इस अजीब और खूबसूरत लड़के को सुनाई है, जो शायद मुझसे नफरत करता हो या शायद नहीं। - बेला स्वान

खुशी मेरे भीतर किसी धमाके की तरह फैल गई—इतनी तीव्र, इतनी प्रचंड कि मुझे पक्का यकीन नहीं था कि मैं उसे झेल भी पाऊँगी या नहीं।

Happiness expanded like an explosion inside me – so extreme, so violent that I wasn’t sure I’d survive it.

मेरे लिए बात वैसी नहीं होगी," मैंने खुद से ही जैसे फुसफुसाते हुए कहा। "तुम मुझे वैसा नहीं होने दोगे। हम अंटार्कटिका में रहेंगे।" एडवर्ड ठहाका मारकर हंस पड़ा, जिससे तनाव कम हो गया। "पेंगुइन। बहुत बढ़िया।

It won't be the same for me," I whispered, half to myself. "You won't let me be like that. We'll live in Antarctica." Edward snorted, breaking the tension. "Penguins. Lovely.

पिशाचों के साथ उठने-बैठने के कई खतरों में से एक यह भी है। इससे आपके शरीर से बदबू आने लगती है। वैसे, इन सबके मुकाबले यह एक छोटा-सा खतरा है।

मैं लड़कियों को मारना नहीं चाहता था… यहाँ तक कि पिशाच लड़कियों को भी नहीं। हालाँकि, उस गोरी लड़की के लिए मैं शायद एक अपवाद रख सकता हूँ।

मैं एकटक उन्हें देखती रह गई, क्योंकि उनके चेहरे—एक-दूसरे से इतने अलग होने के बावजूद इतने मिलते-जुलते थे—बेहद खूबसूरत थे, ऐसे कि इंसान न लगे।

I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful.

तुम बस इंतज़ार करो, जब मैं पिशाच बन जाऊँगी! अगली बार मैं चुपचाप कोने में नहीं बैठूँगी।

इयान कुछ पल के लिए रुका और मेरे और करीब झुक गया, ताकि मुझे उसके चेहरे के आसपास कुछ और न दिखाई दे—सिर्फ बर्फ, नीलमणि जैसी आँखें और स्याही जैसा अंधकार।

लेकिन जब से मैं पैदा हुआ हूँ—इन चार सौ सालों में—मैंने कभी ऐसा कुछ नहीं देखा जिससे मुझे इस बात पर शक हो कि किसी न किसी रूप में भगवान का अस्तित्व है या नहीं। यहाँ तक कि आईने में अपनी परछाई को देखकर भी नहीं।

But never in the four hundred years now since I was born, have I ever seen anything to make me doubt whether God exists in some form or the other. Not even the reflection in the mirror.

इस बात पर तो बस कोई किशोर लड़का ही राज़ी हो सकता था: मेरे कॉलेज की पढ़ाई के लिए बचाए गए पैसों से खतरनाक गाड़ियों को ठीक करना और हमारे दोनों माता-पिता से झूठ बोलना। उसे इस बात में कुछ भी गलत नहीं लगा। जैकब भगवान का भेजा हुआ वरदान था।

मेरी दुनिया की हर चीज़ सिर्फ उसी के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती थी। मैं भी कितनी नासमझ थी जो ऐसा सोचती थी।

Everything in my world was about him. What a silly thing to expect.

Everything in my world was about him. What a silly thing to expect.

तो फिर ऐसा क्यों है कि जैकब ब्लैक तुम्हें तोहफा दे सकता है और मैं नहीं? क्योंकि तुम्हें देने के लिए मेरे पास कुछ है ही नहीं। बेला, तुम तो बस साँस लेकर ही मुझे सब कुछ दे देती हो।

So, how come Jacob Black gets to give you a gift and I don't? Because I have nothing to give back to you. Bella, you give me everything just by breathing.

लेकिन मैं कभी किसी और को नहीं देखूँगा, बेला। मुझे सिर्फ तुम दिखाई देती हो। तब भी, जब मैं अपनी आँखें बंद करके कुछ और देखने की कोशिश करता हूँ। क्विल या एम्ब्री से पूछ लो। यह सब उन्हें पागल कर देता है।

But I’ll never see anyone else, Bella. I only see you. Even when I close my eyes and try to see something else. Ask Quil or Embry. It drives them all crazy

न जाने क्यों, मेरा गुस्सा सीधे मेरी आँखों के आँसुओं से जुड़ा हुआ था। गुस्सा आने पर मुझे अक्सर रोना आ जाता था, जो कि एक बहुत ही शर्मनाक आदत थी।

लेकिन मैं जिधर भी देखती हूँ, उनकी गैरमौजूदगी महसूस होती है। ऐसा लगता है जैसे मेरी छाती में कोई बहुत बड़ा छेद हो गया हो।

But the absence of him is everywhere I look. It's like a huge hole has been punched through my chest.

मुझे पता है, ठीक है। माफ़ करना। मैं मानती हूँ। देखो, मैं इंसान हूँ। कभी-कभी चीज़ों को निष्पक्ष रखना मुश्किल हो जाता है। हम हमेशा सही महसूस नहीं करते, सही काम नहीं करते।

कितना दुखद! कितना डरावना! नफरत से इस कदर भरे होना कि तुम किसी बच्चे के ठीक होने पर भी खुश न हो सको... कोई इस हद तक कैसे गिर सकता है?

How sad. How frightening. To be filled with so much hate that you could not even rejoice in the healing of a child...How did anyone ever come to that point?

कोई इस दुनिया में कैसे जी पाता है, इन शरीरों के साथ जिनकी यादें अतीत में नहीं रहना चाहती जहाँ उन्हें होना चाहिए? उन भावनाओं के साथ जो इतनी गहरी थीं कि मुझे समझ ही नहीं आता था कि मैं महसूस क्या कर रहा हूँ?

अगर आप किसी मेंढक को उबलते पानी के बर्तन में फेंक दें, तो वह तुरंत बाहर कूद जाएगा। लेकिन अगर आप उसी मेंढक को गुनगुने पानी के बर्तन में रखें और धीरे-धीरे पानी गरम करें, तो मेंढक को तब तक समझ ही नहीं आता कि क्या हो रहा है जब तक बहुत देर न हो चुकी हो। उबला हुआ मेंढक। यह सब बस धीरे-धीरे काम करने का तरीका है।

इसलिए जब उसने मुझे छुआ, तो वह दावानल (जंगल की आग) से भी ज़्यादा गहरा और धीमा था, जैसे धरती की सतह के बहुत नीचे बहता हुआ पिघला हुआ लावा। उसकी गर्मी महसूस करने के लिए वह बहुत गहराई में था, लेकिन वह अटल गति से आगे बढ़ रहा था, और अपनी इस चाल से दुनिया की नींव तक को बदल रहा था।

So when he touched me, it was deeper and slower than the wildfire, like the flow of molten rock far beneath the surface of the earth. Too deep to feel the heat of it, but it moved inexorably, changing the very foundations of the world with its advance.

...जैसे कोई मर्द किसी औरत को चूमने से पहले हिचकिचाता है, उसकी प्रतिक्रिया भांपने के लिए, यह देखने के लिए कि उसका स्वागत कैसे किया जाएगा। शायद वह उस पल को लंबा खींचने के लिए हिचकिचाता, प्रत्याशा के उस आदर्श पल को, जो कभी-कभी खुद चुंबन से भी बेहतर होता है।

...the way a man might hesitate before he kissed a woman, to gauge her reaction, to see how he would be received. Perhaps he would hesitate to prolong the moment, that ideal moment of anticipation, sometimes better than kiss itself.

मैं समझ सकता था कि बेला से प्यार कर बैठना कितना आसान होता। यह बिल्कुल नीचे गिरने जैसा होता: बेहद आसान, बिना किसी प्रयास के। खुद को उससे प्यार न करने देना नीचे गिरने के ठीक विपरीत था—यह किसी चट्टान पर हाथ के सहारे ऊपर चढ़ने जैसा था, और यह काम उतना ही थका देने वाला था जैसे कि मेरे पास सिर्फ एक आम इंसान जितनी ही ताकत हो।

I could see how easy it would be to fall into loving Bella. It would be exactly like falling: effortless. Not letting myself love her was the opposite of falling—it was pulling myself up a cliff-face, hand over hand, the task as grueling as if I had no more than mortal strength.

हमारा रिश्ता उस तरह से चाकू की नोक पर संतुलन बनाए नहीं रख सकता था जैसा वह रख रहा था। हम किसी एक तरफ गिर जाते, जो पूरी तरह से उसके फैसले या उसकी सहज प्रवृत्ति पर निर्भर करता। मेरा फैसला तो हो चुका था, इससे पहले कि मैं consciously (जानबूझकर) कभी चुनती भी, और मैं इसे पूरा करने के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार थी। क्योंकि मेरे लिए उससे मुँह मोड़ने के विचार से ज़्यादा डरावना और कुछ नहीं था, कुछ भी इतना दर्दनाक नहीं था। वह नामुमकिन था।

Our relationship couldn't continue to balance, as it did, on the point of a knife. We would fall off one edge or the other, depending entirely upon his decision, or his instincts. My decision was made, made before I'd ever consciously chosen, and I was committed to seeing it through. Because there was nothing more terrifying to me, more excruciating, than the thought of turning away from him. It was an impossibility.

लेकिन क्या हो अगर वह तुम होते? क्या हो अगर तुम्हें एक इंसानी शरीर में ठूँसकर इस ग्रह पर छोड़ दिया जाए और तुम पाओ कि तुम अपने ही अपनों के बीच खो चुके हो? क्या हो अगर तुम इतने अच्छे इंसान हो कि जिस ज़िंदगी को तुमने छीना, उसे बचाने की कोशिश करते हो और उसे उसके परिवार तक वापस पहुँचाने की कोशिश में अपनी जान लगभग गँवा बैठते हो? क्या हो अगर इसके बाद तुम ऐसे हिंसक परोपकारियों (एलियंस) से घिर जाओ जो तुमसे नफरत करते हों, तुम्हें चोट पहुँचाने की कोशिश करते हों और बार-बार तुम्हारी हत्या करने की कोशिश करते हों? क्या हो अगर इसके बावजूद तुम लोगों को बचाने और ठीक करने के लिए वह सब कुछ करते रहो जो तुम कर सकते हो? क्या तुम भी एक ज़िंदगी के हकदार नहीं हो? क्या तुमने इतनी कीमत नहीं चुकाई है?

But what if it were you? What if you were stuffed in a human body and let loose on this planet only to find yourself lost among your own kind? What if you were such a good person that you tried to save the life that you'd taken that you almost died trying to get her back to her family? What if you then found yourself surrounded by violent aliens who hated you and tried to hurt you and tried to murder you over and over again? What if you just kept doing whatever you could to save and heal people despite that? Wouldn't you deserve a life too? Wouldn't you have earned that much?

तुम्हारी खुशबू मेरे लिए किसी नशे की तरह है, मेरे निजी ब्रांड की हेरोइन की तरह।

Your scent is like a drug to me like my own personal brand of heroin.

मैंने अपनी बाहें उसके गले में डाल दीं और उसे तब तक अपने करीब खींचती रही जब तक कि मेरे होंठ उसके होठों से नहीं छू गए।

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer to him until my lips touched his.

उस पहले से हल्के से स्पर्श से, पूरी दुनिया ही बदल गई थी। जहाँ पहले मेरे पास जीने के लिए बस एक ही ऐसी चीज़ थी जिसके बिना मैं रह नहीं सकती थी, वहीं अब दो थीं। कोई बँटवारा नहीं था—अब मेरा प्यार उनके बीच नहीं बंटा था; ऐसा बिल्कुल नहीं था। बल्कि ऐसा लगा मानो उस पल मेरा दिल दोगुना बड़ा हो गया हो। वह सारी अतिरिक्त जगह, जो पहले से ही भरी हुई थी। दिल का यह फैलाव लगभग चक्कर ला देने वाला था।

From that first little touch, the whole world had shifted. Where before there was just one thing I could not live without, now there were two. There was no division – my love was not split between them now; it wasn’t like that. It was more like my heart had grown, swollen up to twice its size in that moment. All that extra space, already filled. The increase was almost dizzying.

मुझसे झूठ बोलो। उसने फुसफुसाया। मैं तुमसे प्यार करता हूँ। उसने कहा।

Lie to me. she whispered. I love you. he said.

Lie to me. she whispered. I love you. he said.

कम से कम मैं कोशिश करते हुए मरा। और मैं जीत गया। मैंने उन्हें कभी दूर नहीं किया। मैंने उन्हें कभी चोट नहीं पहुँचाई। मैंने उन्हें ढूँढने की पूरी कोशिश की। मैंने अपना वादा निभाने की कोशिश की... मैं उनके लिए मरता हूँ।

At least I died trying. And I won.I never gave them away. I never hurt them. I did my best to find them. I tried to keep my promise... I die for them.

At least I died trying. And I won.I never gave them away. I never hurt them. I did my best to find them. I tried to keep my promise... I die for them.

मैंने जो कुछ भी देखा है, उसके बाद अगर मैंने करुणा नहीं सीखी होती, तो मेरा वजूद ही किसी काम का नहीं होता।

After all I've seen, if I hadn't learned compassion, I wouldn't be worth much.

After all I've seen, if I hadn't learned compassion, I wouldn't be worth much.

इस बात से खुश रहो कि इतने सारे जन्म जीने के बाद, आखिरकार मुझे मरने के लिए कोई वजह मिल गई।

Be happy that after living so many lives, I finally found something to die for

अगर आपकी जान ही एकमात्र ऐसी चीज़ थी जो आप अपने महबूब को दे सकते थे, तो आप उसे कैसे नहीं देते?

If your life was all you had to give your beloved, how could you not give it?

अगर आप हमारी ज़िंदगी के ताने-बाने को पलट कर देखते, तो मुझे लगता है कि उसके पिछले हिस्से पर संदेह और डर की उदास सिलेटी रंगत से बुना हुआ डिज़ाइन दिखाई देता।

If you turned the fabric of our lives over, I imagined the design on the backside would be woven in the bleak grays of doubt and fear.

मुझे लगता है कि कई नारीवादी यह कहेंगे कि मैं नारीवादी नहीं हूँ। मैं महिलाओं से प्यार करती हूँ, मेरी बहुत सी महिला मित्र हैं, मैं उनकी बहुत इज्ज़त करती हूँ, वे मुझे पुरुषों की तुलना में कहीं अधिक समझदार लगती हैं, और मुझे लगता है कि जब महिलाओं के हाथ में कमान होती है, तो यह दुनिया एक बेहतर जगह बन जाती है। इसलिए स्वतः ही मैं एक नारीवादी बन जाती हूँ। मुझे महिलाओं की इस दुनिया में काम करना बहुत पसंद है।

I think there are many feminists who would say that I am not a feminist. I love women, I have a lot of girlfriends, I admire them, they make so much more sense to me than men, and I feel like the world is a better place when women are in charge. So that kind of by default makes me a feminist. I love working in a female world.

फिर भी मैं उस कालेपन के खिलाफ जोर लगाती रही, लगभग एक सहज प्रतिक्रिया के रूप में। मैं उसे हटाने की कोशिश नहीं कर रही थी। मैं बस उसका विरोध कर रही थी। उसे पूरी तरह से मुझे कुचलने नहीं दे रही थी। मैं कोई एटलस नहीं थी, और वह कालापन किसी ग्रह जितना भारी लग रहा था; मैं उसका बोझ अपने कंधों पर नहीं उठा सकती थी। मैं बस इतना ही कर सकती थी कि पूरी तरह से मिटने से बच जाऊँ।

I kept pushing against the black, though, almost a reflex. I wasn't trying to lift it. I was just resisting. Not allowing it to crush me completely. I wasn't Atlas, and the black felt as heavy as a planet; I couldn't shoulder it. All I could do was not be entirely obliterated.

जब मैं सार्वजनिक रूप से 'शुक्राणु' (सेमिनल फ्लूइड्स) शब्द बोलती हूँ, तो मुझमें होमर सिम्पसन जैसी बचकानी सी आदत है कि मुझे हँसी छूट जाती है।

I have an immature, Homer Simpson-like tendency to giggle when I say the words 'seminal fluids' in public.

मैंने याद करने की कोशिश की कि साँस बाहर कैसे छोड़ते हैं। इससे पहले कि मुझे यह बात फिर से याद आती, मुझे अपनी नज़रें फेरनी पड़ीं।

I tried to remember how to exhale. I had to look away before it came back to me.

रोमांस के बिना कोई भी कहानी अच्छी नहीं हो सकती।

There's no good story without romance.

मोती जैसे सलेटी सूट पहने हुए वह लड़का जेन का जुड़वाँ भाई लग सकता था। उसके बाल ज़्यादा गहरे रंग के थे, और उसके होंठ उतने भरे हुए नहीं थे, लेकिन वह उतना ही प्यारा था।

The boy in the pearl gray suit could have been Jane's twin. His hair was darker, and his lips were not as full, but he was just as lovely.

जो कहानियाँ आपके पास पहले से हैं उन्हें पूरा करने की तुलना में नई कहानियाँ गढ़ना आसान होता है। मुझे लगता है कि हर लेखक ऐसा ही महसूस करता होगा।

It's easier to come up with new stories than it is to finish the ones you already have. I think every author would feel that way.

मुझे वह तारीख़ बिल्कुल याद है जब मैंने 'ट्वाइलाइट' लिखना शुरू किया था, क्योंकि वह मेरे बच्चों के तैराकी के सबक का पहला दिन भी था। इसलिए मैं पूरे विश्वास के साथ कह सकती हूँ कि इन सबकी शुरुआत 2 जून 2003 को हुई थी।

I know the exact date that I began writing Twilight, because it was also the first day of swim lessons for my kids. So I can say with certainty that it all started on June 2, 2003.

"बेला, तुमने अनुभव किया है कि मैं अपने आस-पास की भावनाओं को कैसे प्रभावित कर सकता हूँ, लेकिन मुझे आश्चर्य है कि क्या तुम जानती हो कि एक कमरे की भावनाएँ मुझ पर कैसे असर डालती हैं। मैं हर दिन भावनाओं के एक अलग ही माहौल में जीता हूँ। अपनी ज़िंदगी की पहली शताब्दी में, मैं खून की प्यासी बदले की दुनिया में जिया था। नफ़रत हमेशा मेरी संगिनी रही थी।" - जैस्पर हेल

"You've experienced the way I can manipulate the emotions around myself, Bella, but I wonder if you realize how the feelings in a room affect me. I live every day in a climate of emotion. For the first century of my life, I lived in a world of bloodthirsty vengeance. Hate was my constant companion." - Jasper Hale

उसकी आवाज़ शहद और मखमली अहसास जैसी थी। "मृत्यु, जिसने तुम्हारी साँसों का शहद चख लिया है, अभी तक तुम्हारी खूबसूरती पर हावी नहीं हो पाई है," उसने फुसफुसाया, और मैं मकबरे में रोमियो द्वारा बोली गई उस पंक्ति को पहचान गई।

His voice was like honey and velvet. "Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty," he murmured, and I recognized the line spoken by Romeo in the tomb.

कार्लाइल: "मैंने पिशाच के जहर को चमत्कार करते देखा है, लेकिन कुछ स्थितियाँ ऐसी भी होती हैं जिन्हें जहर भी ठीक नहीं कर सकता।"

Carlisle: "I've seen vampire venom work miracles, but there are conditions that even venom cannot overcome."

Carlisle: "I've seen vampire venom work miracles, but there are conditions that even venom cannot overcome."

यह बहुत अजीब था, क्योंकि मैं जानती थी कि हम दोनों की जान को गंभीर खतरा है। फिर भी, उस पल, मुझे बहुत अच्छा महसूस हुआ। संपूर्ण। मैं अपने सीने में अपने दिल की धड़कन और अपनी नसों में गर्म व तेज़ दौड़ते खून को महसूस कर सकती थी। मेरे फेफड़े उसकी त्वचा से आने वाली मीठी खुशबू से भर गए। ऐसा लग रहा था मानो मेरे सीने में कभी कोई छेद था ही नहीं। मैं बिल्कुल ठीक थी—महज़ घाव भरा नहीं था, बल्कि ऐसा लग रहा था जैसे कोई घाव था ही नहीं।

It was very strange, for I knew we were both in mortal danger. Still, in that instant, I felt well. Whole. I could feel my heart racing in my chest, the blood pulsing hot and fast through my veins again. My lungs filled deep with the sweet scent that came off his skin. It was like there had never been any hole in my chest. I was perfect - not healed, but as if there had been no wound in the first place.

पिशाच बनना हमेशा के लिए होता है। बाद में आप अपना इरादा बदल नहीं सकते। मेरे लिए, मुझे लगता है कि किसी भी ऐसी चीज़ के साथ यही एक बड़ी कमी है जो स्थायी है। आप कैसे जान सकते हैं कि आप पाँच या दस साल बाद कैसा महसूस करेंगे? यहाँ तक कि एक टैटू के मामले में भी।

Becoming a vampire is forever. You don't get to change your mind about it later. For me, I think that's one of the big drawbacks with anything that's permanent. How do you know how you're going to feel in five years or 10 years? Even with a tattoo.

पिशाच बनना, मेरे लिए, कल्पना की दुनिया में जीने और महाशक्तियाँ पाने का एक तरीका था, लेकिन यह सिर्फ एक बेहद परफेक्ट, खुशहाल और सब कुछ बढ़िया होने वाला मामला नहीं था। यह एक ऐसी महाशक्ति है जिसकी एक भारी कीमत चुकानी पड़ती है। इसमें आपको खलनायक बनना पड़ता है, और आप इसके साथ क्या करते हैं, यह मायने रखता है।

Vampirism, for me, was a way to live in fantasy and have superpowers, but not just in a really perfect, happy, everything is great way. It's superpowers with a cost. It's having to be the villain, and what do you do about that.

नहीं, वास्तव में 'द होस्ट' मेरे लिए पूरी तरह से एक मानसिक शांति और नया बदलाव देने वाली कहानी थी। मैं रूमानी प्रेम से थोड़ा हटकर कुछ अलग करना चाहती थी। रूमानी प्रेम उसमें है ही, ज़ाहिर है, क्योंकि मुझे उसके बारे में लिखना और उसे जीना बहुत पसंद है।

No, actually 'The Host' was totally a palate-cleanser for me. I wanted to do something a little bit different than romantic love. Romantic love is in there, obviously, because I enjoy writing about that and living it a lot.

वास्तव में यह इस समय मेरी सबसे बड़ी चुनौतियों में से एक है क्योंकि इसमें कोई शक नहीं है कि मैं रात में सबसे अच्छा लिखती हूँ। मैं तब ध्यान केंद्रित कर पाती हूँ। आप जानते हैं कि आपको कोई फ़ोन कॉल नहीं आने वाला है, मैं सब कुछ बंद कर सकती हूँ, और रात में मैं ज़्यादा रचनात्मक होती हूँ।

That actually is one of my huge challenges right now because I write best at night, no question. I can focus. You know you're not getting any phone calls, I can shut everything down, and I'm just more creative at night.

'ट्वाइलाइट' के साथ, मुझे लगा कि अभिनेताओं को ऐसे उभरते हुए कलाकार होना चाहिए जिन्हें अभी तक पहचान न मिली हो।

With 'Twilight,' I felt the actors needed to be up-and-coming artists that haven't been recognized yet.

जब मैं 8 साल की थी, तब मैं 'गॉन विद द विंड' और 'प्राइड एंड प्रेजुडिस' और इस तरह की तमाम किताबें पढ़ रही थी, यह जाने बिना कि वे मेरी पढ़ने की उम्र या स्तर की नहीं थीं।

When I was 8, I was reading 'Gone with the Wind' and 'Pride and Prejudice' and all that, not knowing it wasn't my reading level.

मुझे कुछ दिनों के लिए रॉकस्टार बनना सचमुच बहुत अच्छा लगेगा, हालाँकि मैं मुख्य गायक की बजाय पीछे रहने वाले कलाकारों में शामिल होना चाहूँगी—जैसे शायद 'म्यूज़' बैंड का ड्रमर। कुछ दिनों के लिए चार्लीज थेरोन की तरह बेहद खूबसूरत होना भी मज़ेदार होगा।

I'd really like having a couple days of being a rock star, although I'd rather be a backup - like maybe the drummer for Muse It would also be fun to be gorgeous, like be Charlize Theron, just for a couple of days.

मैंने टीवी पर आने पर 'इंटरव्यू विद ए वैम्पायर' के छोटे-छोटे हिस्से देखे हैं, लेकिन मुझे हमेशा से 'छी!' जैसा महसूस होता है। मैं आर-रेटेड (वयस्कों के लिए बनी) फिल्में नहीं देखती, इसलिए इससे हॉरर फिल्मों की संख्या काफी कम हो जाती है।

I've seen little pieces of 'Interview with a Vampire' when it was on TV, but I kind of always go yuck! I don't watch R-rated movies, so that really cuts down on a lot of the horror.

जहाँ तक खर्चे की बात है, मुझे लगता है कि अगर 'ट्वाइलाइट' पर्याप्त रूप से अच्छा प्रदर्शन करती है, तो हमें इसके सीक्वल के लिए बड़े और महंगे दृश्यों पर काम करने में सक्षम होना चाहिए। मेरा मतलब है, हमें भेड़िया-मानव (वेयरवोल्फ) दिखाने ही होंगे, इससे बचा नहीं जा सकता। उन्हें वहाँ होना ही होगा।

As far as expense, I think if 'Twilight' does well enough, then we should be able to do the big expensive stuff for the sequels. I mean, we have to have werewolves, there's no way around it. They have to be there.

मैं चीज़ों को हमेशा अपनी योजना से ज़्यादा लंबा खींच सकती हूँ, लेकिन उन्हें छोटा करना बेहद दर्दनाक होता है। जब भी आप एक शब्द काटते हैं, तो ऐसा लगता है जैसे आपने अपनी उँगली काट दी हो।

I can always make things longer than I intend for them to be, but cutting things down is just brutal. It's like cutting off your fingers every time you lose a word.

'न्यू मून' का अंत मूल रूप से कुछ अलग था। यह कहीं अधिक शांत किताब थी। यह पूरी तरह से बेला के मन के भीतर की दुनिया थी।

There was a different ending to New Moon originally. It was a much quieter book. It was very much all in Bellas head.

बेहद सफल 'ट्वालाइट' सीरीज़ की लेखिका को 15वें प्रकाशक द्वारा किताब स्वीकार किए जाने से पहले 14 अलग-अलग प्रकाशकों ने नकार दिया था। ज़रा सोचिए, अगर बेला और एडवर्ड कभी इस दुनिया में आए ही न होते, तो इन किताबों के दीवाने क्या करते?!

The author of the extremely successful Twilight series was rejected by 14 different publishers before the 15th picked up Twilight. What would all the tweens do if Bella and Edward hadn't been brought to life?!

You nickednamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?

डरना मत," मैंने कहा, "हम दोनों एक-दूसरे के लिए ही बने हैं।" मैं तुरंत अपनी ही कही बात की सच्चाई से मंत्रमुग्ध हो गई।

Don't be afraid," I said, "We belong together." I was immediatly overcome by the truth of my own words.

और तुम्हारे दिल की धड़कन," उसने आगे कहा। "मेरी दुनिया की सबसे प्यारी आवाज़ है। अब मैं इसका इतना आदी हो चुका हूँ कि कसम खाता हूँ, मीलों दूर से भी इसे पहचान सकता हूँ। पर इनमें से कोई भी बात मायने नहीं रखती। यह," उसने मेरा चेहरा अपने हाथों में थामते हुए कहा। "तुम। बस यही वह चीज़ है जिसे मैं अपने पास रखना चाहता हूँ। तुम हमेशा मेरी बेला रहोगी, बस अब तुम थोड़ी ज़्यादा मज़बूत हो गई हो।

And the sound of your heart," he continued. "It's the most significant sound in my world. I'm so attuned to it now, I swear I could pick it out from miles away. But neither of these things matter. This," he said, taking my face in his hands. "You. That's what I'm keeping. You'll always be my Bella, you'll just be a little more durable.

मुझे तुम्हारी चाहत थी। मुझे तुम्हें चाहने का कोई हक नहीं था—फिर भी मैंने आगे बढ़कर तुम्हें पा ही लिया। और अब देखो तुम्हारा क्या हाल हो गया है! एक पिशाच को रिझाने की कोशिश कर रही हो।

I coveted you. I had no right to want you--but I reached out and took you anyway. And now look what's become of you! Trying to seduce a vampire.

बेशक, अगर तुम अपने कपड़े उतार दो, तो तुम्हारा शरीर जल्दी गर्म हो जाएगा।

Of course, you’d warm up faster if you took your clothes off.

I held you in my hands, Wanderer, and you were beautiful.

I held you in my hands, Wanderer, and you were beautiful.

मुझे लगता है इसे हिस्टीरिया का दौरा पड़ रहा है। शायद तुम्हें इसे थप्पड़ मारना चाहिए।

I think she's having hysterics. Maybe you should slap her.

बुरा मत मानना, लेकिन तुम उन लोगों में से लगती हो जो चुम्बक की तरह हादसों को अपनी ओर खींच लेते हैं। तो... कोशिश करना कि समंदर में न गिर जाओ, या किसी गाड़ी के नीचे न आ जाओ, ठीक है?

Don’t be offended, but you seem to be one of those people who just attract accidents like a magnet. So… try not to fall into the ocean or get run over or anything, all right?

Don’t be offended, but you seem to be one of those people who just attract accidents like a magnet. So… try not to fall into the ocean or get run over or anything, all right?

जब मैं पहली बार तुमसे मिला था, तभी तुम्हारा वक्त तय हो गया था।

Your number was up the first time I met you.

"तुम बिल्कुल चार्ली जैसी हो।" उसने हार मानते हुए आह भरी। "एक बार जो ठान लो, तो तुम्हें कोई समझा नहीं सकता। बेशक, चार्ली की तरह ही, तुम अपने फैसलों पर भी पक्की रहती हो।"

"You’re exactly like Charlie." She'd sighed, resigned. "Once you make up your mind, there is no reasoning with you. Of course, exactly like Charlie, you stick by your decisions, too."

"You’re exactly like Charlie." She'd sighed, resigned. "Once you make up your mind, there is no reasoning with you. Of course, exactly like Charlie, you stick by your decisions, too."

हाँ, मैं हमेशा तुम्हारा दोस्त रहूँगा। तुम जिससे भी प्यार करो, इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता।

Yeah, I’ll always be your friend. No matter what you love.

Yeah, I’ll always be your friend. No matter what you love.

अवास्तविकता का वह عالم काला था, और उससे इतनी तकलीफ़ नहीं होती थी।

non-reality was black, and it didn't hurt so much.

उसका नाम वांडा है, कोई चीज़ नहीं। तुम उसे हाथ नहीं लगाओगे। उस पर जो भी खरोंच आएगी, मैं तुम्हारी इस नाकारा खाल पर उसकी दोगुनी सजा दूँगी।

Her name is Wanda, not it. You will not touch her. Any mark you leave on her, I will double on your worthless hide.

चकराई और सुन्न पड़ी मैं, अपनी बांह से निकलते उस चमकदार लाल खून से नज़रें उठाकर सीधे उन छह भूखे पिशाचों की आग सुलगती आँखों में देखने लगी।

Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm - into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires.

मैं एक खोया हुआ चाँद बन चुकी थी—मेरा ग्रह किसी भयानक आपदा वाली आपदा-फिल्म की तबाही में नष्ट हो चुका था—फिर भी मैं गुरुत्वाकर्षण के नियमों को ताक पर रखकर, उस पीछे छूटे हुए खाली स्थान के इर्द-गिर्द एक छोटे से दायरे में चक्कर लगाए जा रही थी।

I was like a lost moon―my planet destroyed in some cataclysmic, disaster-movie scenario of desolation―that continued, nevertheless, to circle in a tight little orbit around the empty space left behind, ignoring the laws of gravity.

I was like a lost moon―my planet destroyed in some cataclysmic, disaster-movie scenario of desolation―that continued, nevertheless, to circle in a tight little orbit around the empty space left behind, ignoring the laws of gravity.

मैं अंदर से बिल्कुल खाली थी। मानो कोई वीरान घर हो—जिसे गिराने का आदेश मिल चुका हो—महीनों से वहाँ रहना नामुमकिन था। अब मेरी हालत थोड़ी सुधर गई थी। सामने का कमरा कुछ ठीक-ठाक हो गया था। पर बस उतना ही—एक छोटा सा हिस्सा। वह इससे कहीं बेहतर का हकदार था—एक ऐसे घर से बेहतर जो सिर्फ एक कमरे का हो और गिरने की कगार पर हो। वह चाहे जितनी भी मेहनत कर लेता, मुझे दोबारा ठीक हालत में नहीं ला सकता था।

I was an empty shell. Like a vacant house―condemned―for months I'd been utterly uninhabitable. Now I was a little improved. The front room was in better repair. But that was all―just the one small piece. He deserved better than that―better than a one-room, falling-down fixer-upper. No amount of investment on his part could put me back in working order.

वह मेरा सबसे अच्छा दोस्त था। मैं हमेशा उससे प्यार करती रहूँगी, और यह कभी भी, बिल्कुल भी काफ़ी नहीं होगा।

He was my best friend. I would always love him, and it would never, ever be enough.

भालू द्वारा खाए जाने के खतरे से कहीं ज़्यादा परेशान मैं जैकब के साथ चल रही स्थिति से थी।

I was much more upset by the situation with Jacob than by the possibility of being eaten by a bear.

भले ही हम सब चाहते हैं कि तुम यहीं रहो, पर जब तक तुम खुद यह फैसला नहीं कर लेती कि तुम यहीं की हो, तब तक तुम हमारी नहीं हो सकतीं।

बेशक, मैं स्कूल में अभी भी एडवर्ड से मिलती थी, क्योंकि चार्ली (उसके पिता) इस बारे में कुछ नहीं कर सकते थे। और फिर, एडवर्ड लगभग हर रात मेरे कमरे में भी बिताता था, लेकिन चार्ली को इस बात की भनक तक नहीं थी। एडवर्ड का मेरी दूसरी मंज़िल की खिड़की से आसानी और चुपचाप अंदर आ जाना, चार्ली के मन की बात पढ़ लेने की उसकी काबिलियत जितना ही काम आता था।

Of course, I still saw Edward at school, because there wasn't anything Charlie [her dad] could do about that. And then, Edward spent almost every night in my room, too, but Charlie wasn't precisely aware of that. Edward's ability to climb easily and silently through my second-story window was almost as useful as his ability to read Charlie's mind.

एडवर्ड और मैंने कोई आखिरी शानदार विदाई का नाटक नहीं किया था, और न ही मेरी ऐसी कोई योजना थी। इस बात को जुबान पर लाने का मतलब था उसे हमेशा के लिए खत्म कर देना। यह किसी पांडुलिपि के आखिरी पन्ने पर 'द एंड' टाइप करने जैसा होता। इसलिए हमने एक-दूसरे से अलविदा नहीं कहा, और हमेशा एक-दूसरे के बेहद करीब, एक-दूसरे को छूते हुए रहे। अंत चाहे जो भी हो, वह हमें कभी जुदा नहीं कर पाएगा।

Edward and I had not had a last grand scene of farewell, nor did I plan one. To speak the word was to make it final. It would be the same as typing the words The End on the last page of a manuscript. So we did not say our goodbyes, and we stayed very close to each other, always touching. Whatever end found us, it would not find us separated.

हाँ, तुम बिल्कुल मेरे नशे जैसी हो।

Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin.

उसकी त्वचा का रंग बहुत प्यारा था, जिसे देखकर मुझे ईर्ष्या होने लगी। जैकब ने मेरी टकटकी भांप ली। "क्या?" उसने अचानक खुद को असहज महसूस करते हुए पूछा। "कुछ नहीं। मैंने पहले इस बात पर ध्यान नहीं दिया था। क्या तुम्हें पता है, तुम थोड़े-बहुत खूबसूरत हो?" मुँह से बात निकलते ही मुझे डर लगा कि कहीं वह मेरी इस बेबाक बात का गलत मतलब न निकाल ले। लेकिन जैकब ने आँखें घुमाईं। "तुम्हें सिर पर काफी जोर से चोट लगी है, है ना?" "मैं सच कह रहा हूँ।" "अच्छा, तो फिर शुक्रिया। एक तरह से।" मैंने मुस्कुराते हुए कहा। "तुम्हारा भी स्वागत है, एक तरह से।"

His skin was a pretty colour, it made me jealous. Jacob noticed my scrutiny. What?" he asked, suddenly self-conscious. "Nothing. I just hadn't realised before. Did you know, you're sort of beautiful?" Once the words slipped out, I worried that he might take my implusive observation the wrong way. But Jacob rolled his eyes. "You hit your head pretty hard, didn't you?" "I'm serious." Well, then, thanks. Sort of." I grinned. "You're sort of welcome.

याद न रख पाने की पाबंदी, और भूल जाने का डर; इस कशमकश के बीच चलना बहुत मुश्किल था।

सुनो, क्या तुम जानते हो कि तेज दिमाग वाली सुनहरे बालों (ब्लॉन्ड) लड़की को क्या कहते हैं?" मैंने पूछा, और बिना साँस लिए आगे बोला, "एक गोल्डन रिट्रीवर।" "यह वाला मैंने भी सुना है," उसने बिना मुस्कराए कहा। "मैं कोशिश जारी रखूँगा," मैंने वादा किया।

Hey, do you know what you call a blond with a brain?" I asked, and the continued on the same breath, "a golden retriever." I've heard that one, too," she said, no longer smiling. I'll keep trying." I promised.

इसमें हंसने वाली कौन सी बात है?" बेला ने बुदबुदाया। "मैंने उसके बालों में खाना गिरा दिया," मैंने फिर से खिलखिलाते हुए उससे कहा। "मैं इसे भूलने वाली नहीं हूँ, कुत्ते," रोसाली ने फुसफुसाते हुए कहा। "किसी ब्लॉन्ड की याददाश्त मिटाना कोई मुश्किल काम नहीं है," मैंने जवाब दिया। "बस उसके कान में फूंक मारो।" "नए चुटकुले ले आओ," रोसाली ने झिड़कते हुए कहा।

What's so funny?" Bella mumbled. "I got food in her hair," I told her, chortling again. "I'm not going to forget this, dog," Rosalie hissed. "S'not so hard to erase a blond's memory," I countered. "Just blow in her ear." Get some new jokes, "Rosalie snapped.

छिঃ। इस कुत्ते को बाहर निकालो," रोसाली ने नाक सिकोड़ते हुए बुदबुदाया। "क्या तुमने यह वाला सुना है, साइको? एक ब्लॉन्ड की दिमागी कोशिकाएं कैसे मरती हैं?" उसने कुछ नहीं कहा। "तो?" मैंने पूछा। "तुम्हें चुटकुले का अंत पता है या नहीं?" उसने टीवी की तरफ देखा और मुझे नजरअंदाज कर दिया। "क्या उसने यह सुना है?" मैंने एडवर्ड से पूछा। "नहीं," उसने जवाब दिया। "शानदार। तो तुम इसका पूरा मजा लोगी, खून चूसने वाले—एक ब्लॉन्ड की दिमागी कोशिकाएं अकेली मरती हैं।"

Ew. Someone put the dog out, "Rosalie murmured wrinkling her nose. Have you herd this one, Psycho? how do a blond's brain cells die?" She didn't say anything. Well?" I asked."Do you know the punch line or not?" She looked pointedly at the TV and ignored me. Has she heard it?" I asked Edward. No." He answered. Awesome. So you'll enjoy this, bloodsucker--a blond's brain cells die alone.

तुम मेरी जैसी गलतियाँ मत दोहराओ, बेला। तुम्हारी आवाज़ से ऐसा लग रहा है कि तुम बुरी तरह डरी हुई हो, और मेरा अंदाज़ा है कि इसकी वजह यह है कि तुम मुझसे डरती हो।

You’re not making my mistakes, Bella. You sound like you’re scared silly, and I’m guessing it’s because you’re afraid of me.

You gonna back down so easy, little sister?. Not much wild about you, is there? I bet that cottage doesn't have a scratch. Did Edward tell you how many houses Rose and I smashed?

Yeh dekhna ajeeb bhi tha aur mazedaar bhi... aur sach kahun toh thoda sharmnaak bhi... ki Bella ke kareeb rehne se main kitna narm pad gaya tha. Aisa lag raha tha jaise ab mujhse kisi ko darr hi nahi lagta. Agar Emmett ko yeh baat pata chal gayi, toh woh agli ek sadi tak is par hasta rahega.

It was strange and amusing...and, honestly, a bit embarrassing...to realize how much being near Bella had softened me. It seemed like no one was afraid of me any more. If Emmett found out about this, he would be laughing for the next century.

“Tumhe pata hai na ki main tumse kitna pyaar karta hoon?” “Mujhan pata hai,” usne saans rokte hue kaha, aur uska haath apne aap meri kamar ke ird-gird kas gaya. “Tumhe pata hai na ki main kitna chahta hoon ki yeh kaafi hota.”

You know I love you right?” “I know,” he breathed, his arm tightening automatically around my waist. “You know how much I wish it was enough.

मैंने इसके बजाय उस फरिश्ते की आवाज़ पर ध्यान केंद्रित करने की कोशिश की। "बेला, कृपया! बेला, मेरी बात सुनो, कृपया, कृपया, कृपया, बेला, कृपया!" उसनेिम्नती की। हाँ, मैं कहना चाहती थी। कुछ भी। लेकिन मुझे अपने होंठ मिल नहीं रहे थे। "कार्लाइल!" फरिश्ते ने पुकारा, उसकी बेहतरीन आवाज़ में बेइंतिहा दर्द था। "बेला, बेला, नहीं, ओह कृपया, नहीं, नहीं!" और वह फरिश्ता बिना आँसुओं के, सिसक-सिसक कर रो रहा था। फरिश्ते को नहीं रोना चाहिए, यह गलत था। मैंने उसे ढूँढने की कोशिश की, उसे यह बताने की कोशिश की कि सब ठीक है, लेकिन पानी बहुत गहरा था, वह मुझ पर दबाव डाल रहा था, और मैं साँس नहीं ले पा रही थी।

I tried to concentrate on the angel's voice instead. "Bella, please! Bella, listen to me, please, please, please, Bella, please!" he begged. Yes, I wanted to say. Anything. But I couldn't find my lips. "Carlisle!" the angel called, agony in his perfect voice. "Bella, Bella, no, oh please, no, no!" And the angel was sobbing tearless, broken sobs. The angel shouldn't weep, it was wrong. I tried to find him, to tell him everything was fine, but the water was so deep, it was pressing on me, and I couldn't breathe.

“Bella, I've already expended a great deal of personal effort at this point to keep you alive. I'm not about to let you behind the wheel of a vehicle when you can't even walk straight. Besides, friends don't let friends drive drunk,” he quoted with a chuckle. I could smell the unbearably sweet fragrance coming off his chest. “Drunk?” I objected. “You're intoxicated by my very presence.” He was grinning that playful smirk again.

Yahi wajah thi ki use alvida kehna namumkin tha — kyunki main usse pyaar karti thi. Beinteha pyaar. Main usse utna pyaar karti thi jitna mujhe nahi karna chahiye tha, aur fir bhi, yeh pyaar abhi bhi naakaafi tha. Main usse pyaar toh karti thi, par yeh pyaar kuch bhi badalne ke liye kaafi nahi tha; yeh bas hum dono ko pehle se zyaada dukh dene ke liye kaafi tha. Use utna dard dene ke liye jitna maine kabhi nahi diya tha.

That’s why it was so impossible to tell him goodbye — because I was in love with him. Too. I loved him, much more than I should, and yet, still nowhere near enough. I was in love with him, but it was not enough to change anything; it was only enough to hurt us both more. To hurt him worse than I ever had.

"पैर मत उलझा लेना," उसने आगे कहा। "आज हमारे पास सिर पर चोट खाने का समय नहीं है।" मैं कराह उठा। यह बिल्कुल मेरे जैसा होता—अपनी नासमझी के एक ही पल में सब कुछ बर्बाद कर देना, दुनिया को तबाह कर देना।

Woh utni hi shiddat se khel raha hai jitni main, farq bas yeh hai ki use pata hai woh kya kar raha hai aur mujhe nahi. Mujhe mat dosh do ki woh mujhse behtar chaalein chalta hai — main abhi naya hoon aur uske saare daav-pech nahi seekh paya hoon.

He’s playing every bit as hard as I am, only he knows what he’s doing and I don’t. Don’t blame me because he’s a better manipulator than I am — I haven’t been around long enough to learn all his tricks.

मानो हम दोनों जुड़े हुए थे, उसके दर्द की गूंज मेरे भीतर मचल रही थी। उसका दर्द, मेरा दर्द।

Like we were connected, the echo of his pain twisted inside inside me. his pain, my pain.

| मेरी ज़िंदगी एक कभी न खत्म होने वाली, हमेशा एक जैसी रहने वाली आधी रात थी। मेरे लिए तो हमेशा से आधी रात होना ही लाजिमी था। तो फिर यह कैसे मुमकिन था कि मेरी इस आधी रात के बीचों-बीच अब सूरज उग रहा था?

My life was an unending, unchanging midnight. It must, by necessity, always be midnight for me. So how was it possible that the sun was rising now, in the middle of my midnight?

Sach mein, tumhe mujhse door rehna chahiye.

You really should stay away from me.

तुम मुझे एक... जीवित पत्थर समझती हो—जो कठोर और ठंडा है। यह सच है। हम जैसे हैं, वैसे ही ढल चुके हैं, और हमारे लिए किसी वास्तविक बदलाव का अनुभव करना बहुत दुर्लभ है। जब ऐसा होता है, जैसा कि बेला के मेरे जीवन में आने पर हुआ, तो यह एक स्थायी बदलाव होता है। इससे पीछे लौटने का कोई रास्ता नहीं है।

You think of me as a... living stone - hard and cold. That's true. We are set the way we are, and it is very rare for us to experience a real change. When that happens, as when Bella entered my life, it is a permanent change. There's no going back.

तुम मेरी मौजूदगी से ही पूरी तरह मदहोश हो चुकी हो।

Kya tum chaahti ho ki main tumhe gaana sunaaun? Main saari raat gaana gaaunga agar isse tumhare saare bure khwaab door reh sakein.

Usne yeh nahi pucha ki main kya soch rahi hoon, jo ki uske swabhaav ke bilkul khilaaf tha. Main samajh gayi ki iska matlab yeh tha ki woh bhi utna hi ghabraaya hua tha jitni achanak main ho gayi thi.

He didn't ask what I was thinking, which was out of character for him. I guessed that meant that he was just as nervous as I suddenly was.

जानती हो, मैं पहले तुम्हें इसी रूप में देखता था। सूरज की तरह। मेरा अपना निजी सूरज। तुम मेरे लिए बादलों को बहुत अच्छे से संतुलित कर देती थीं।" उसने आह भरी। "बादलों से तो मैं निपट सकता हूँ। लेकिन मैं किसी सूर्यग्रहण से नहीं लड़ सकता।

I used to think of you that way, you know. Like the sun. My personal sun. You balanced out the clouds nicely for me." He sighed. "The clouds I can handle. But I can't fight with an eclipse.

Maine uski ghani palkon ke neeche feli un aankhon mein dekha, aur neend ke liye tadap uthi. Kisi behoshi ke liye nahi, jaisa ki main pehle chaahti thi, boreiyat se bachne ke liye nahi, balki isliye kyunki main *sapna* dekhna chahti thi. Shayad, agar main behosh ho sakti, agar main sapna dekh sakti, toh main kuch ghante aisi duniya mein jee sakti jahan woh aur main ek sath ho sakte. Woh mere sapne dekhti thi. Main uska sapna dekhna chahti thi.

I stared into her eyes, wide under the thick fringe of lashes, and yearned for sleep. Not for oblivion, as I had before, not to escape boredom, but because I wanted to *dream*. Maybe, if I could be unconscious, if I could dream, I could live for a few hours in a world where she and I could be together. She dreamed of me. I wanted to dream of her.

मैं तुमसे प्यार करता हूँ," मैंने एक धीमी, गहरी आवाज़ में कहा। "चाहे अब कुछ भी हो जाए, मैं हमेशा तुमसे प्यार करता रहूँगा।

I love you," I said in a low, intense voice. "I will always love you, no matter what happens now.

लेकिन तब क्या हो... जब आप पूरी ईमानदारी से किसी बात को सच मानते हों, लेकिन आप बिल्कुल गलत हों? क्या हो अगर आप अपनी बात पर इतनी जिद के साथ अड़े हों कि आपको अपनी सही होने का ऐसा यकीन हो कि आप सच पर विचार करने को भी तैयार न हों? क्या सच को चुप करा दिया जाएगा, या वह बाहर आने की कोशिश करेगा?

But what if...what if you sincerely believed something was true, but you were dead wrong? What if you were so stubbornly sure that you were right, that you wouldn’t even consider the truth? Would the truth be silenced, or would it try to break through?

तो तुम यह कहना चाहती हो कि मैं तुम्हारी पसंद की हेरोइन हूँ?" मैंने माहौल को थोड़ा हल्का करने की कोशिश करते हुए मज़ाक किया। उसने झटपट मुस्कुराते हुए मेरी इस कोशिश की सराहना की। "हाँ, तुम बिल्कुल मेरी ही पसंद की हेरोइन हो।

So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood. He smiled swiftly, seeming to appreciate my effort. "Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin.

उस गहरी खामोशी में, सहज ज्ञान की एक चमक के साथ अचानक से सारी कड़ियाँ मेरे दिमाग में जुड़ गईं। कुछ ऐसा जिसे एडवर्ड मुझसे छिपाना चाहता था। कुछ ऐसा जो जैकब मुझसे नहीं छिपाता... यह कभी खत्म नहीं होने वाला था, है ना?

In the dead silence, all the details suddenly fell into place for me with a burst of intuition. Something Edward didn't want me to know. Something that Jacob wouldn't have kept from me.... It was never going to end, was it?

मैं, वेंडरर नाम की आत्मा, तुमसे प्यार करती हूँ, इंसानी इयान और चाहे मैं कुछ भी क्यों न बन जाऊँ, यह कभी नहीं बदलेगा। अगर मैं एक डॉल्फिन, एक भालू या एक फूल भी बन जाऊँ, तब भी कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ेगा। मैं हमेशा तुमसे प्यार करती रहूँगी, तुम्हें हमेशा याद रखूंगी। तुम हमेशा मेरे इकलौते साथी रहोगे।" - वांडा, द होस्ट

मैं तुम्हारे साथ रहना चाहती हूँ।" अंधेरे में यह कहना आसान था, यह जानते हुए भी कि बोलते ही मेरी आवाज़ मेरा साथ छोड़ देगी और उसके प्रति मेरी इस लाचार दीवानगी को ज़ाहिर कर देगी।

i want to stay with you." it was easier to say in the darkness, knowing as i spoke my voice would betray me, my hopeless addiction to him.

एडवर्ड के इर्द-गिर्द बुने रहस्य ने मुझे पूरी तरह अपनी गिरफ्त में ले लिया था। और खुद एडवर्ड के प्रति तो मेरा पागलपन कुछ ज़्यादा ही बढ़ गया था। मूर्खता, सरासर मूर्खता। फॉर्क्स शहर छोड़ने की जितनी जल्दी मुझे होनी चाहिए थी, या किसी भी सामान्य और समझदार इंसान को होती, उतनी बेचैनी मुझमें थी ही नहीं।

I was consumed by the mystery Edward presented. And more than a little obsessed by Edward himself. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I wasn't as eager to escape Forks as I should be, as any normal, sane person would be.

हजारों सदियों में भी इंसान कभी प्यार को पूरी तरह समझ नहीं पाए। इसमें कितना हिस्सा जिस्मानी है, और कितना दिमाग का? कितना इत्तेफाक है और कितना भाग्य? क्यों सही जोड़ियाँ बिखर जाती हैं और नामुमकिन जोड़े फलते-फूलते हैं? इस सवाल का जवाब मुझसे बेहतर उनके पास भी नहीं था। प्यार बस वहीं होता है जहाँ वह होता है।

In so many millennia, the humans never did figurs love out. How much is physical, how much in the mind? How much accident and how much fate? Why did perfect matches crumble and impossible couples thrive? I dont know the answer better than they did. Love simply is where it is.

मैं हमेशा, अपने इस अनंत अस्तित्व के आखिरी पल तक, इस कमज़ोर इंसानी लड़की से प्यार करता रहूँगा।

I would always love this fragile human girl, for the rest of my limitless existence.

दर्द की जो लहरें पहले सिर्फ मेरे आस-पास मंडरा रही थीं, वे अब अचानक बहुत ऊ उठकर मेरे सिर के ऊपर से बह निकलीं और मुझे गहरे में खींच ले गईं। मैं फिर कभी सतह पर नहीं आ पाई।

The waves of pain that had only lapped at me before now reared high up and washed over my head, pulling me under. I did not resurface.

The waves of pain that had only lapped at me before now reared high up and washed over my head, pulling me under. I did not resurface.

कोई गलती नहीं, मैंने खुद से वादा किया था कि मैं कोई चूक नहीं होने दूंगा, चाहे वह कितनी भी मामूली क्यों न लगे। अगर मैंने उसका हाथ थामा, तो मुझे और चाहत होगी—एक और मामूली सा स्पर्श, उसके थोड़ा और करीब जाने की इच्छा। मैं यह महसूस कर सकता था। मेरे भीतर एक नई तरह की इच्छा पनप रही थी, जो मेरे आत्म-नियंत्रण को कुचलने पर आमादा थी। कोई गलती नहीं।

No mistakes, I'd promised myself that i would make no mistakes, no matter how minimal they seemed. if i held her hand, i would only want more - another insignificant touch, another move closer to her. i could feel that. a new kind of desire was growing in me, working to override my self-control. no mistakes.

खैर, इसके लिए मुझे बेहद खेद है कि मैं तुम्हारे लिए उस किस्म का राक्षस नहीं बन पाया जैसी तुम्हें तलाश थी।

मैं जानता था कि बहुत देर हो चुकी है—और मुझे इस बात की राहत थी कि परदे के पीछे कोई खूँखार चीज़ मेरा इंतज़ार कर रही थी। क्योंकि इसमें असफल होने के बाद, जीने की मेरी हर इच्छा खत्म हो चुकी थी।

I knew I was too late—and I was glad something bloodthirsty waited in the wings. For in failing at this, I forfeited any desire to live.

मैंने ध्यान केंद्रित करने की पूरी कोशिश की। मुझे कुछ कहना था। सबसे जरूरी बात। मैं तुमसे प्यार करता हूँ," मैंने कहा, लेकिन वह किसी गाने जैसा लगा। मेरी आवाज़ एक घंटी की तरह गूंजी और थरथराई। जैसे मैं तुमसे प्यार करती हूँ," उसने मुझसे कहा।

I made a concerned effort to focus. There was something I needed to say. The most important thing. I love you," I said, but it sounded like singing. My voice rang and shimmered like a bell. As i love you,"He told me.

यह दुनिया बड़ी अजीब है," मैंने फुसफुसाया, उस स्थानीय आत्मा से ज़्यादा खुद से कहते हुए। "सबसे अजीब," उसने सहमति जताई।

It is a strange world," I murmered, more to myself than to the native soul. "The strangest," he agreed.

It is a strange world," I murmered, more to myself than to the native soul. "The strangest," he agreed.

सबसे बुरी बात यह है कि मैंने वह सब कुछ देख लिया था—हमारी पूरी ज़िंदगी। और मैं उसे शिद्दत से चाहता हूँ, जैक, मुझे वह सब कुछ चाहिए। मैं यहीं रुक जाना चाहता हूँ और कभी कहीं नहीं हिलना चाहता। मैं तुमसे प्यार करना चाहता हूँ और तुम्हें खुश रखना चाहता हूँ। और मैं ऐसा नहीं कर पा रहा हूँ, और यह बात मुझे अंदर ही अंदर खाए जा रही है।

The worst part is that I saw the whole thing -- our whole life. And I want it bad, Jake, I want it all. I want to stay right here and never move. I want to love you and make you happy. And I can't, and it's killing me.

मैंने उसकी उंगलियों को भींचते और खुलते हुए देखा, और सोचने लगी कि क्या वह यह सपना देख रहा था कि वे मेरे गले के इर्द-गिर्द लिपटी हुई हैं।

I watched his fingers clench and unclench, and I wondered if he was dreaming that they were wrapped around my neck.

जिस तरह से तुम चलती हो—तुम बिना सोचे-समझे खुद को उसी के हिसाब से ढाल लेती हो। जब वह हिलता भी है, ज़रा सा भी, तो तुम साथ-साथ अपनी स्थिति बदल लेती हो। मैग्नेट की तरह... या गुरुत्वाकर्षण की तरह। तुम किसी... सैटेलाइट की तरह हो, या किसी वैसी ही चीज़ की तरह।

उसने मेरे सिर पर प्यार से किस करने के लिए झुकते हुए एक गहरी सांस ली। मैं उलझन में उसे देखने लगी। "बारिश में तुम्हारी खुशबू बहुत अच्छी आती है," उसने समझाया। मैंने संभलकर पूछा, "अच्छी वाली खुशबू, या बुरी वाली?" उसने आह भरी। "दोनों, हमेशा दोनों।"

He leaned over to kiss the top of my head, and then groaned. I looked at him, puzzled. "You smell so good in the rain," he explained. "In a good way, or in a bad way?" I asked cautiously. He sighed. "Both, always both.

“क्या तुमने उसे दो-चार अच्छे थप्पड़ मारे?” एम्मेट ने उत्सुकता से पूछा। “नहीं! बिल्कुल नहीं!” “नहीं, सच में नहीं? तुमने वाकई उसपर हमला नहीं किया?” “एम्मेट!” मैंने विरोध किया। “ओह, क्या बकवास है। और देखा जाए तो तुम शायद अकेले ऐसे इंसान हो जो उससे निपट सकते थे—क्योंकि वो तुम्हारे दिमाग में घुसकर तुम्हें हरा नहीं सकता—और तुम्हारे पास बेहतरीन मौका भी था। मैं यह देखने के लिए मरा जा रहा था कि उस खूबी के बिना वो कैसा प्रदर्शन करता।”

Did ya get in a couple of good swipes?" Emmett asked eagerly. "No! Of course not!" "No, not really? You really didnt attack him?" "Emmett!" I protested. "Aw, what a waste. And here you're probably the one person who could take him- since he can't get into your head to cheat- and you had a perfect excuse too. I've been dying to see how he'd do without that advantage.

जैकोब एक बेहद खुशमिजाज इंसान था, और उसकी यह खुशी उसके चारों ओर एक दायरे की तरह फैली रहती थी, जो उसके पास आने वाले हर शख्स से बंट जाती थी। वह ज़मीन पर उतरे सूरज की तरह था, जो भी उसके करीब आता, जैकोब उसे गर्माहट से भर देता। यह स्वाभाविक था, उसके स्वभाव का एक हिस्सा।

Here's to responsibility," he toasted. "Twice a week." "And recklessness every day in between," I emphasized. He grinned and touched his can to mine.

“ठीक है,” जेरेड ने झल्लाकर कहा। “लेकिन अगर आज रात तुमने मेरे गले लगने की कोशिश की... तो भगवान की कसम, ओ’शिया।” इयान हँसा। “यूँ तो मैं खुद की बहुत तारीफ नहीं करना चाहता, पर सच कहूँ तो जेरेड, अगर मेरी वैसी कोई इच्छा होती भी, तो मुझे लगता है मैं इससे बेहतर चुन सकता था।”

मुझे यह समझने में आधा सेकंड से भी कम समय लगा कि, जब अब मैं पूरी तरह पागल हो चुकी हूँ, तो क्यों न इन भ्रमों का मज़ा ही लिया जाए जब तक ये सुहावने हैं।

It took less than half a second for me to realize that, as long as I was truly insane now, I might as well enjoy the delusions while they were pleasant.

और फिर भी, मैंने पाया कि मैं ज़िंदा रह सकती हूँ। मैं होश में थी, मुझे दर्द महसूस हो रहा था—वह टीसती हुई खालीपन की टीस जो मेरी छाती से उठकर मेरे अंगों और सिर में दर्द की लहरें दौड़ा रही थी—लेकिन वह सहन करने लायक था। मैं उसे सह सकती थी। मुझे ऐसा नहीं लगा कि समय के साथ दर्द कम हुआ हो, बल्कि मुझे लगा कि मैं इतनी मजबूत हो गई थी कि उसे बर्दाश्त कर सकूँ।

And yet, I found I could survive. I was alert, I felt the pain - the aching loss that radiated out from my chest, sending wracking waves of hurt through my limbs and head - but it was manageable. I could live through it. I didn't feel like the pain had weakened over time, rather that I'd grown strong enough to bear it.

मैं अंदर से इस कदर टूट चुका था कि अब मेरी कोई मरम्मत मुमकिन नहीं थी।

I'd been broken beyond repair.

भले ही यह अजीब लगे, पर मुझे लगता है कि तुम्हारा यहाँ होना अच्छा है, जैकब। [एडवर्ड कलन]

बहुत छोटी हो, बहुत छोटी, वह खुद से बुदबुदा रही थी। ज़ाहिर है, वह गलत थी। मैं उसके दादाजी से भी उम्र में बड़ा था, लेकिन मेरे ड्राइविंग लाइसेंस के हिसाब से, वह सही थी।

Too young,too young,she chanted to herself. Wrong,of course. I was older than her grandfather but according to my driver's license,she was right.

“तुम्हें लोगों के साथ ऐसा वाकई नहीं करना चाहिए,” मैंने शिकायत की। “यह बिल्कुल सही नहीं है।” “क्या करना?” “इस तरह अपनी खूबसूरती से सबको चौंधिया देना—शायद वह इस वक्त किचन में हाँफ रही होगी।” वह उलझन में दिखा। “अरे, चलो भी,” मैंने अविश्वास से कहा। “तुम जानते ही होगे कि लोगों पर तुम्हारा क्या असर होता है।” उसने अपना सिर एक तरफ झुकाया, और उसकी आँखें उत्सुक थीं। “मैं लोगों को चौंधिया देता हूँ?” “क्या तुमने ध्यान नहीं दिया? क्या तुम्हें लगता है कि हर किसी की बात इतनी आसानी से मान ली जाती है?” उसने मेरे सवालों को नजरਅंदाज कर दिया। “क्या मैं तुम्हें चौंधियाता हूँ?” “अक्सर,” मैंने मान लिया।

You really shouldn’t do that to people," I criticized. "It’s hardly fair." "Do what?" "Dazzle them like that – she’s probably hyperventilating in the kitchen right now." He seemed confused. "Oh come on," I said dubiously. "You have to know the effect you have on people." He tilted his head to one side, and his eyes were curious. "I dazzle people?" "You haven’t noticed? Do you think everybody gets their way so easily?" He ignored my questions. "Do I dazzle you?" "Frequently," I admitted.

मैं उसे देखकर मुस्कुरा दी, अब जबकि वह इस योजना के लिए राज़ी हो गया था, तो मेरा उत्साह और बढ़ गया था। रोसाली से भले ही सिरदर्द होता था, लेकिन एमेट को चुनने के लिए मैं हमेशा उसकी ऋणी रहूँगी; मेरे भाई से बेहतर भाई किसी का नहीं हो सकता था।

I grinned at him, feeling more enthusiastic about my plan now that he was on board. Rosalie was a pain, but I would always owe her one for choosing Emmett; no one had a better brother than mine.

उसकी सुनहरी आँखें बहुत कोमल हो गईं। “तुमने कहा था तुम मुझसे प्यार करती हो।” “तुम यह पहले से ही जानते थे,” मैंने अपना सिर झुकाते हुए उसे याद दिलाया। “फिर भी, यह सुनना अच्छा लगा।” मैंने अपना चेहरा उसके कंधे पर छुपा लिया। “मैं तुमसे प्यार करती हूँ,” मैंने फुसफुसाया। “अब तुम मेरी जिंदगी हो,” उसने सीधे शब्दों में जवाब दिया। फिलहाल कहने के लिए और कुछ नहीं बचा था। जैसे-जैसे कमरा रोशन होता गया, वह हमें आगे-पीछे झुलाता रहा।

His gold eyes grew very soft. “You said you loved me.” “You knew that already,” I reminded him, ducking my head. “It was nice to hear, just the same.” I hid my face against his shoulder. “I love you,” I whispered. “You are my life now,” he answered simply. There was nothing more to say for the moment. He rocked us back and forth as the room grew lighter.

मैं ज़्यादातर यही सपना देखती हूँ कि मैं हमेशा तुम्हारे साथ रहूँ।

यही वजह थी कि मैं यहाँ आई थी। यही वजह थी कि वापस लौटने पर मुझे जो भी ताने या प्रतिक्रिया मिलती, मैं उसे सह लेती। क्योंकि, उस सारे गुस्से और तंज के पीछे, जैकब बहुत दर्द में था। इस वक्त, उसकी आँखों में यह साफ झलक रहा था। मैं नहीं जानती थी कि उसकी मदद कैसे करूँ, पर मैं जानती थी कि मुझे कोशिश करनी ही होगी। यह सिर्फ इसलिए नहीं था कि मुझपर उसका कर्ज था। बल्कि इसलिए भी क्योंकि उसका दर्द मुझे भी तकलीफ देता था। जैकब मेरे वजूद का हिस्सा बन चुका था, और अब इसे बदला नहीं जा सकता था।

This was why I was here. This was why I would take whatever reception waited for me when I got back. Because, underneath all the anger and the sarcasm, Jacob was in pain. Right now, it was very clear in his eyes. I didn't know how to help him, but I knew I had to try. It was more than that I owed him. It was because his pain hurt me, too. Jacob had become a part of me, and there was no changing that now.

इसाबेला स्वान?” उसने अपनी असंभव रूप से लंबी पलकों के बीच से मेरी तरफ देखा, उसकी सुनहरी आँखें कोमल थीं लेकिन फिर भी किसी तरह दिल को छू लेने वाली थीं। “मैं हमेशा तुमसे प्यार करने का वादा करता हूँ—हमेशा के हर एक पल। क्या तुम मुझसे शादी करोगे?” मैं बहुत कुछ कहना चाहती थी, जिनमें से कुछ बातें बिल्कुल भी अच्छी नहीं थीं, और कुछ इतनी ज़्यादा मीठी और रोमांटिक थीं जितना शायद उसने सपने में भी नहीं सोचा होगा कि मैं कह सकती हूँ। उन दोनों ही बातों से खुद को शर्मिंदा करने के बजाय, मैंने फुसफुसा कर कहा, “हाँ।” “शुक्रिया,” उसने सीधे शब्दों में कहा। उसने मेरा बायाँ हाथ लिया और मेरी उंगलियों के हरोर पर किस किया और फिर उस अंगूठी को चूमा जो अब मेरी थी।

Isabella Swan?” He looked up at me through his impossibly long lashes, his golden eyes soft but, somehow, still scorching. “I promise to love you forever—every single day of forever. Will you marry me?” There were many things I wanted to say, some of them not nice at all, and others more disgustingly gooey and romantic than he probably dreamed I was capable of. Rather than embarrass myself with either, I whispered, “Yes.” “Thank you,” he said simply. He took my left hand and kissed each of my fingertips before he kissed the ring that was now mine.

वे सारे रिश्ते जो मुझे मेरी ज़िंदगी से बांधे हुए थे, एक झटके में ऐसे कट गए, जैसे हवा में उड़ते गुब्बारों की डोरी काट दी गई हो। वह सब कुछ जो मुझे मेरा वजूद देता था—ऊपर कमरे में बैठी मृत लड़की के लिए मेरा प्यार, मेरे पिता के लिए मेरा प्यार, मेरे नए कबीले के प्रति मेरी वफ़ादारी, मेरे बाकी भाइयों के लिए प्यार, मेरे दुश्मनों के लिए मेरी नफ़रत, मेरा घर, मेरा नाम, मेरा खुद का वजूद—उस एक पल में मुझसे अलग हो गए—कटर-कटर-कटर—और अंतरिक्ष में तैरते हुए दूर चले गए।

All the lines that held me to my life were sliced apart in swift cuts, like clipping the strings of a bunch of balloons. Everything that made me who I was - my love for the dead girl upstairs, my love for my father, my loyalty to my new pack, the love for my other brothers, my hatred for my enemies, my home, my name, my self - disconnected from me in that second - snip, snip, snip - and floated up into space.

मैं इस बात को मानता हूँ। लेकिन मैं चाहता हूँ कि तुम एक बात जान लो — जहाँ तक इस दुश्मनी के ढकोसले की बात है, मैं इन सब से बाहर हूँ। मैं एक तटस्थ देश हूँ। मैं स्विट्ज़रलैंड हूँ। मैं पौराणिक जीवों के बीच चल रहे ज़मीनी विवादों की चपेट में आने से साफ़ इनकार करता हूँ। जैकोब परिवार है। तुम... खैर, मेरी ज़िंदगी का प्यार तो बिल्कुल नहीं, क्योंकि मुझे उम्मीद है कि मैं तुमसे इससे कहीं ज़्यादा लंबे समय तक प्यार करूँगा। तुम तो मेरे वजूद का प्यार हो। मुझे परवाह नहीं कि कौन भेड़िया है और कौन पिशाच। अगर एंजेला भी कोई चुड़ैल साबित होती है, तो वह भी इस महफ़िल में शामिल हो सकती है।

I believe that. But I want you to know something — when it comes to all this enemies nonsense, I’m out. I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures. Jacob is family. You are . . . well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love you for much longer than that. The love of my existence. I don’t care who’s a werewolf and who’s a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can join the party, too.

कुछ मिनटों के बाद, उसने बड़े ही शांत भाव से पूछा कि क्या तुम भी जानवर बन जाती हो। और मैंने कहा, ‘वो तो चाहती होगी कि वो इतनी कूल हो!

After a few minutes, he asked, real quietly, if you turned into an animal, too. And I said, ‘She wishes she was that cool!

आखिरकार बात यह है कि आपको यह चुनना होगा कि आप किसके प्रति समर्पित होने जा रहे हैं-- यही सच्चे प्यार की नींव है, न कि दूसरे विकल्पों का अभाव।

The bottom line is that you have to choose who you are going to commit to-- that's the foundation of true love, not the lack of other options

मैं बिल्कुल ठीक हो चुका था—यह ठीक होना नहीं था, बल्कि ऐसा था मानो कभी कोई घाव था ही नहीं।

तुम ज़रा भी नहीं बदले। मुझे लगा था कि शायद कोई साफ़ फर्क नज़र आएगा, पर तुम, हमेशा की तरह आज भी गुस्से से लाल हो।

You haven’t changed at all. I expected a perceptible difference, but here you are, red-faced just like always.

उसने अपने ठंडे हाथ मेरे चेहरे के दोनों तरफ रखे और अपनी सुनहरी आँखें मेरी आँखों में गड़ा दीं। "क्या तुम कृपया मुझे बताओगी कि तुम्हारे दिमाग में क्या चल रहा है? इससे पहले कि मैं पागल हो जाऊँ?"

He put his cold hands on either side of my face and fixed his golden eyes on mine. "Would you please tell me what you're thinking? Before I go mad?

कभी-कभी मुझे लगता है कि तुम मुझे एक भेड़िए के रूप में ज़्यादा पसंद करती हो।" "कभी-कभी मैं करती भी हूँ। इसका शायद इस बात से कुछ लेना-देना है कि तुम चाहकर भी बोल नहीं सकते।"

मैं हमेशा ऐसी चीज़ें लिखता हूँ जो मेरा मनोरंजन करती हैं, और जिन चीज़ों को तलाशना मुझे वाकई बहुत दिलचस्प लगता है, उनमें से एक है प्यार का विचार। मुझे अपने जीवन, अपने दोस्तों और परिवार को देखना और यह समझना पसंद है कि प्यार कैसे इंसान को बदल देता है। यह मुझे मंत्रमुग्ध कर देता है।

I always write things that entertain me, and one of the things that I find really enjoyable to explore is the idea of love. I like looking at my own life and my friends and family and how love changes who you are. It fascinates me.

ऐसा लगेगा मानो मेरा कभी वजूद ही नहीं था। ये शब्द मेरे दिमाग में गूँजने लगे, जिनमें कल रात के मेरे मतिभ्रम जैसी पूरी स्पष्टता नहीं थी. वे महज़ शब्द थे, आवाज़हीन, जैसे पन्ने पर छपी कोई इबारत. महज़ शब्द, लेकिन उन्होंने भीतर एक गहरा घाव कर दिया, और मैंने ब्रेक पर पैर रख दिया, यह जानते हुए कि इस हालत में मुझे गाड़ी नहीं चलानी चाहिए. मैं दुकड़क कर सिकुड़ गई, अपना चेहरा स्टीयरिंग व्हील पर टिका दिया और बिना फेफड़ों के साँस लेने की कोशिश करने लगी।

It will be as if I'd never existed. The words ran through my head, lacking the perfect clarity of my hallucination last night. They were just words, soundless, like print on a page. Just words, but they ripped the hole wide open, and I stomped on the brake, knowing I should not drive while this incapacitated. I curled over, pressing my face against the steering wheel and trying to breathe without lungs.

एलिस मेरी बोरिंग जींस और टी-शर्ट वाली पोशाक को इस तरह परख रही थी कि मुझे खुद पर झेंप होने लगी। शायद वह एक और मेकओवर की योजना बना रही थी। मैंने आह भरी। फैशन के प्रति मेरा बेपरवाह रवैया हमेशा उसके गले की फांस बना रहता था। अगर मैं उसे इजाजत दे दूं, तो वह मुझे हर दिन―शायद दिन में कई बार―किसी विशालकाय त्रि-आयामी कागजी गुड़िया की तरह तैयार करना पसंद करेगी।

Alice was scrutinizing my boring jeans-and-a-T-shirt outfit in a way that made me self-conscious. Probably plotting another makeover. I sighed. My indifferent attitude to fashion was a constant thorn in her side. If I'd allow it, she'd love to dress me everyday―perhaps several times a day―like some oversized three-dimensional paper doll.

I told you I didn't want to fight with Charlie." "Nobody said that you had to." I glowered at him. "I can't help myself when he gets all bossy like that―my natural teenage instincts overpower me.

तुम्हारी उम्र क्या है?” उसने पूछा। मेरा जवाब स्वतःस्फूर्त और दिल में बसा हुआ था। “सत्रह साल।” “और तुम्हें सत्रह साल के हुए कितना समय हो गया है?” मैंने उसके बातूनी लहजे पर मुस्कुराने से खुद को रोका। “थोड़ा वक्त हो गया है,” मैंने मान लिया। “ठीक है,” उसने कहा, और अचानक उत्साह से भर गई। वह मुझे देखकर मुस्कुराई।

How old are you?” she asked. My answer was automatic and ingrained. “Seventeen.” “And how long have you been seventeen?” I tried not to smile at the patronizing tone. “A while,” I admitted. “Okay,” she said, abruptly enthusiastic. She smiled up at me.

यह बहुत डरावना है। कोई निजता नहीं, कोई राज़ नहीं। आपकी हर उस बात से पर्दा उठ जाता है, जिस पर आपको शर्म आती है, और वह सबके सामने बेनकाब हो जाती है।

गलतियाँ हर कोई अपने तरीके से करता है और मुझे यकीन है कि ज़िंदगी में तुम्हें भी पछतावा होगा। लेकिन ज़िम्मेदारी से भागना कभी तुम्हारी कमज़ोरी नहीं रही, मेरी जान। जितने भी चालीस साल के लोगों को मैं जानता हूँ, उनमें से तुम्हारे सफल होने के चांस सबसे ज़्यादा हैं। मेरा छोटा सा अधेड़ बच्चा। शुक्र है कि तुम्हें कोई और पुरानी रूह मिल गई।

You make your own kinds of mistakes, and I’m sure you’ll have your share of regrets in life. But commitment was never your problem, sweetie. You have a better chance of making this work than most forty-year-olds I know. My little middle-aged child. Luckily, you seem to have found another old soul.

काश मैंने उसे चोट पहुँचाई होती, मैंने उसका ज़रा सा भी नुकसान नहीं किया—बेला। मैं उसे ठीक कर सकता हूँ—एडवर्ड। मैं यही सुनना चाहती थी—बेला। थोड़ी देर सन्नाटा छाया रहा—"यह तुम्हारी तरह नहीं लग रहा, उसने क्या किया?"—एडवर्ड। उसने मुझे किस किया—बेला। फोन के दूसरी तरफ से सिर्फ गाड़ी की रफ़्तार बढ़ने की आवाज़ सुनाई दी।

I wish i'd hurt him I didn't do any damage at all-Bella I can fix that-edward I was hoping you would say that-bella there was a slight pause "that doesn't sound like you what did he do"-edward he kissed me-bella all i heard on the other end of the line was the sound of an engine accelerating

तुम मेरी दुनिया की सबसे खूबसूरत चीज़ हो।

You are the most beautiful thing in my world.

अगर तुमने एडवर्ड को बाहर नहीं भेजा," अंधेरे में अदृश्य एमेट ने गुस्से में फुसफुसाया, "तो हम खुद अंदर आ रहे हैं!" "जाओ," मैं हँसी। "इससे पहले कि वे मेरा घर तोड़ दें।

If you don’t send Edward out,” Emmett—still invisible in the night—hissed menacingly, “we’re coming in after him!” “Go,” I laughed. “Before they break my house.

मैंने गौर किया था कि उसकी आँखें काली थीं—कोयले जैसी काली।

I’d noticed that his eyes were black – coal black.

मैं अपनी उम्र के लोगों से ज़्यादा घुल-मिल नहीं पाता था। शायद सच तो यह था कि मैं आम तौर पर किसी से भी ढंग से जुड़ नहीं पाता था। यहाँ तक कि मेरी माँ भी, जिनके मैं इस ग्रह पर सबसे ज़्यादा करीब था, कभी मेरे साथ पूरी तरह तालमेल नहीं बैठा पाईं, कभी एक ही पन्ने पर नहीं थीं। कभी-कभी मुझे हैरानी होती थी कि जो चीज़ें मैं अपनी आँखों से देख रहा हूँ, क्या बाकी दुनिया भी वही देख रही है। शायद मेरे दिमाग में कोई खराब थी।

I didn't relate well to people my age. Maybe the truth was that I didn't relate well to people, period. Even my mother, who I was closer to than anyone else on the planet, was never in harmony with me, never on exactly the same page. Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brain.

तुम सोई नहीं हो, और न ही मरी हो। मैं यहाँ हूँ, और मैं तुमसे प्यार करता हूँ। मैं हमेशा से तुमसे प्यार करता आया हूँ, और हमेशा करता रहूँगा। जब मैं दूर था, तो हर पल तुम्हारे बारे में सोच रहा था, मेरे ज़ेहन में तुम्हारा चेहरा था। जब मैंने तुमसे कहा था कि मुझे तुम्हारी ज़रूरत नहीं है, तो वह सबसे बड़ा और काला पाप था।

You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.

हमेशा," एडवर्ड ने मेरे कान में फुसफुसाया। मैं कुछ बोल नहीं पाई। मैंने अपना सिर उठाया और उसे ऐसी शिद्दत से चूमा कि शायद जंगल में आग लग जाती। और मुझे इसका पता भी न चलता।

Forever," Edward echoed in my ear. I couldn't speak anymore. I lifted my head and kissed him with a passion that might possibly set the forest on fire. I wouldn't have noticed.

किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति से मिलना जिसके सामने आप अपना दिल खोल सकें और जो आपको वैसे ही अपना ले जैसे आप हैं, एक बेहद अनोखी बात है। मैं एक बहुत लंबे समय से उस इंसान से आगे बढ़ने का इंतज़ार कर रहा था जो मैं हूँ। बेला के साथ मुझे लगता है कि मैं आखिरकार शुरुआत कर सकता हूँ। इसलिए मैं अपनी खूबसूरत दुल्हन के नाम एक जाम की गुज़ारिश करना चाहता हूँ। तुम्हारे साथ बिताया गया कोई भी समय कभी पूरा नहीं पड़ेगा। लेकिन चलिए हमेशा के लिए शुरुआत करते हैं।

It's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to and accept you for what you are. I've been waiting, for what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am. With Bella I feel like I can finally begin. So I'd like to propose a toast to my beautiful bride. No measure of time with you will be long enough. But let's start with forever.

मैं जानता हूँ कि तुम इस बात से परेशान हो कि वह तुम्हें इस तरह कैद करके रख रहा है, लेकिन जब वह वापस आए तो उसे ज़्यादा परेशान मत करना। वह तुमसे तुम्हारी सोच से भी ज्यादा प्यार करता है। तुमसे दूर रहना उसे डरा देता है।

I know you're frustrated that he's keeping you locked up like this, but don't give him too bad a time when he gets back. He loves you more than you know. It terrifies him to be away from you.

सही चीज़ हमेशा इतनी साफ-सुथरी नहीं होती। कभी-कभी जो एक इंसान के लिए सही होता है, वही दूसरे के लिए गलत हो जाता है। तो... इसे समझने के लिए शुभकामनाएं।

The right thing isn't always real obvious. Sometimes the right thing for one person is the wrong thing for someone else. So...good luck figuring that out.

एक पल के लिए तो तुमने मुझे डरा ही दिया था। मुझे लगा न्यूटन तुम्हारी लाश घसीट कर जंगल में दफ़नाने ले जा रहा है।

You scared me for a minute there. I thought Newton was dragging your dead body off to bury it in the woods.

तुम यह जानती नहीं हो कि तुम्हें अपने साथ ले जाना और उन्हें ज़िंदा छोड़ना मेरे लिए कितना मुश्किल था।

समय बीतता है। तब भी जब ऐसा मुमकिन न लगे। तब भी जब घड़ी की हर टिक-टिक किसी चोट पर जम गए खून की धड़कन जैसी चुभे। यह भले ही अजीब तरह से कभी बहुत तेज़ और कभी कछुए की चाल से बीतता है, पर बीतता ज़रूर है। यहाँ तक कि मेरे लिए भी।

Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.

मुझे एक मिनट के लिए बाहर जाना है। मेरे पीछे से कोई हुड़दंग मत मचाना।

I have to step out for a second. Don’t do anything funny while I’m gone.

मुझमें उमड़ रहे एहसासों को बयां करने के लिए मुझे शब्द नहीं मिल रहे थे, पर मेरे पास उन्हें थामने के लिए काफी मजबूत शब्द नहीं थे। काफी देर तक, मैं उनमें डूबा रहा। जब मैं बाहर आया, तो मैं वह इंसान नहीं रहा जो पहले था। मेरी ज़िंदगी एक अंतहीन, न बदलने वाली आधी रात थी। मेरे लिए यह ज़रूरी था कि हमेशा आधी रात ही रहे। तो फिर यह कैसे मुमकिन था कि मेरी इस आधी रात के बीचों-बीच अब सूरज उग रहा था?

I struggled to find the words to name the feelings that flooded through me, but I had no words strong enough to hold them. For a long moment, I drowned in them. When I surfaced, I was not the same man I had been. My life was an unending, unchanging midnight. It must, by necessity, always be midnight for me. So how was it possible that the sun was rising now, in the middle of my midnight?

Worst high five ever." - Diego

ये पहली नज़र के प्यार जैसा नहीं है, बिल्कुल नहीं। ये तो ऐसा है जैसे... गुरुत्वाकर्षण का नियम बदल गया हो। जब आप उसे देखते हैं, तो अचानक ये ज़मीन आपको थाम कर नहीं रखती, बल्कि वो रखती है। और फिर उसके सिवा कुछ मायने नहीं रखता। आप उसके लिए कुछ भी करने को तैयार हो जाते हैं, कुछ भी बन जाते हैं... वो जो चाहती है, आप वही बन जाते हैं—चाहे वो एक रक्षक हो, प्रेमी हो, दोस्त हो या भाई।

It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like… gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her… You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother.

उसने मुझसे वादा किया था कि ऐसा लगेगा जैसे मेरा कभी वजूद ही नहीं था। मैंने अपने घुटनों के नीचे चिकने लकड़ी के फर्श को महसूस किया, फिर अपनी हथेलियों को, और फिर मेरा गाल उस पर टिक गया। मैंने चाहा कि मैं बेहोश हो जाऊँ, लेकिन, अफसोस कि मैं बेहोश नहीं हुई। दर्द की जो लहरें अब तक बस मुझे छूकर निकल रही थीं, वे अब उफ़न कर मेरे सिर के ऊपर से गुजर गईं और मुझे अपने साथ डुबो ले गईं। मैं फिर कभी सतह पर नहीं आ पाई।

It will be as if I'd never existed, he'd promised me. I felt the smooth wooden floor beneath my knees, and then the palms of my hands, and then it was pressed against the skin of my cheek. I hoped that I was fainting, but, to my disappointment, I didn't lose consciousness. The waves of pain that had only lapped at me before now reared high up and washed over my head, pulling me under. I did not resurface.

बेला, अगर तुम चीज़ों पर बिल्कुल ध्यान नहीं देती, तो इसमें मेरा कोई दोष नहीं है।

Bella, it's not my fault if you are exceptionally unobservant.

Bella, it's not my fault if you are exceptionally unobservant.

तो तुम उसे क्या बताने जा रहे हो?" मैंने मिन्नत करते हुए कहा, "थोड़ी मदद करोगे?" "वो क्या जानना चाहती है?" उसने शरारती मुस्कान के साथ अपना सिर हिलाया। "यह सही नहीं है।" "नहीं, जो तुम्हें पता है उसे छुपाना—यह सही नहीं है।"

So what are you going to tell her?" "A little help?" I pleaded. "What does she want to know?" He shook his head, grinning wickedly. "That's not fair." "No, you not sharing what you know-now that's not fair.

I felt like I was staring out across an ocean that I was going to have to swim from shore to shore before I could rest again.

मैंने एक बार फिर ऊपर उठकर उसकी तरफ देखा, और तुरंत पछतावा हुआ। वह फिर से मुझे घूर रहा था, उसकी काली आँखों में मेरे लिए गहरी घृणा भरी थी। जैसे ही मैं उससे डरकर अपनी कुर्सी से सिकुड़ गई, 'अगर नजरों में जान होती' वाली कहावत अचानक मेरे ज़ेहन में कौंध गई।

I peeked up at him one more time, and regretted it. He was glaring down at me again, his black eyes full of revulsion. As I flinched away from him, shrinking against my chair, the phrase if looks could kill suddenly ran through my mind.

लेकिन देखो, सिर्फ इसलिए कि हमें... ज़िंदगी ने बुरे पत्ते बांटे हैं... इसका यह मतलब बिल्कुल नहीं है कि हम उससे ऊपर उठने का चुनाव नहीं कर सकते—उस तकदीर की सीमाओं को नहीं तोड़ सकते जिसे हम में से कोई नहीं चाहता था। कम से कम अपनी इंसानियत को तो बचाए रखने की कोशिश कर सकते हैं।

but you see, just because we've been...dealt a certain hand...it doesn't mean we can't choose to rise above- to conquer the boundaries of a destiny that none of us wanted. to try to retain whatever essential humanity we can.

क्या तुम बस मेरा शुक्रिया अदा करके बात खत्म नहीं कर सकती?" "शुक्रिया।" मैं जल-भुनकर जवाब का इंतज़ार करती रही। "तुम इसे इतनी आसानी से नहीं छोड़ोगी, है ना?" "नहीं।" "तो फिर... मैं उम्मीद करता हूँ कि तुम्हें निराशा में मज़ा आएगा।" हम दोनों खामोश होकर एक-दूसरे को घूरने लगे। अपनी उत्सुकता और बेचैनी पर काबू पाने की कोशिश करते हुए सबसे पहले मैंने ही चुप्पी तोड़ी। मैं उसके गुस्से से तमतमाए, खूबसूरत चेहरे की तरफ आकर्षित होने से खुद को बचा रही थी। ऐसा लग रहा था मानो किसी महाविनाशक फरिश्ते से आँखें चार करने की कोशिश कर रही हूँ। "तुमने तकलीफ क्यों उठाई?" मैंने रुखेपन से पूछा। वह रुका, और एक पल के लिए उसका शानदार चेहरा अप्रत्याशित रूप से कमज़ोर सा लग गया। "मुझे नहीं पता," उसने फुसफुसा कर कहा।

Can't you just thank me and get over it?" "Thank you." I waited, fuming and expectant. "You're not going to let it go, are you?" "No." "In that case . . . I hope you enjoy disappointment." We scowled at each other in silence. I was the first to speak, trying to keep myself focused. I was in danger of being distracted by his livid, glorious face. It was like trying to stare down a destroying angel. "Why did you even bother?" I asked frigidly. He paused, and for a brief moment his stunning face was unexpectedly vulnerable. "I don't know," he whispered.

मैं सोच रहा था कि ये सब कब तक चलेगा। शायद कभी, सालों बाद। अगर दर्द इतना कम हो जाए कि मैं उसे सह सकूँ। तो शायद मैं उन कुछ महीनों को याद कर सकूँ जो हमेशा मेरी ज़िंदगी के सबसे बेहतरीन दिन रहेंगे।

I wondered how long it could last. Maybe someday, years from now.If the pain would decrease to the point where I could bear it.I would be able to look back on those few short months that would always be the best of my life.

That was the first night I dreamed of Eward Cullen.

मुझे ऐसा लगा—जैसे पता नहीं क्या। जैसे यह सब सच ही न हो। जैसे मैं किसी खराब सिटकॉम के किसी डरावने, अजीब संस्करण में फँसा हूँ। हेड चीयरलीडर को प्रोम के लिए पूछने वाले उस आम लड़के के बजाय, मैं दूसरा स्थान पाने वाला वो वेयरवोल्फ था जो पिशाच की पत्नी को अपने साथ रहने और परिवार बढ़ाने के लिए कहने जा रहा था। वाह, कमाल है। - जैकब

I felt like - like I don't know what. Like this wasn't real. Like I was in some Goth version of a bad sitcom. Instead of being the A/V dweeb about to ask the head cheerleader to the prom, I was the finished-second-place werewolf about to ask the vampire's wife to shack up and procreate. Nice. - Jacob

मेरे सपने में बहुत अंधेरा था, और जितनी भी धुंधली रोशनी थी, वह शायद एडवर्ड की त्वचा से ही निकल रही थी। मैं उसका चेहरा नहीं देख पा रही थी, बस उसकी पीठ दिखाई दे रही थी जब वह मुझसे दूर जा रहा था, और मुझे इस सन्नाटे और अंधेरे में अकेला छोड़ रहा था। मैं चाहे जितनी तेज़ी से दौड़ी, उस तक नहीं पहुँच पाई; मैंने चाहे जितनी ज़ोर से आवाज़ लगाई, उसने कभी पीछे मुड़कर नहीं देखा। मैं आधी रात को बेचैन होकर जाग गई और फिर काफी देर तक सो नहीं पाई। उसके बाद, वह लगभग हर रात मेरे सपनों में आता रहा, लेकिन हमेशा धुंधली सी सीमा पर, कभी मेरी पहुँच के भीतर नहीं।

In my dream it was very dark, and what dim light there was seemed to be radiating from Edward's skin. I couldn't see his face, just his back as he walked away from me, leaving me in the blackness. No matter how fast I ran, I couldn't catch up to him; no matter how loud I called, he never turned. Troubled, I woke in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep again for what seemed like a very long time. After that, he was in my dreams nearly every night, but always on the periphery, never within reach.

वह यही चाह रहा था कि उसने मुझे टायर्स की वैन की चपेट में आने से न बचाया होता—इसके अलावा मैं और कोई नतीजा नहीं निकाल सकती थी।

मैं नहीं चाहता कि तुम जाओ। और यही वह वजह है जिसके कारण मुझे चले जाना चाहिए। लेकिन तुम फ़िक्र मत करो। आखिरकार मैं एक स्वार्थी जीव हूँ। मैं तुम्हारे साथ की इतनी लालसा रखता हूँ कि वो नहीं कर पा रहा जो मुझे करना चाहिए।

I don't want you to leave Which is exactly why I should. But don't worry. I'm essentially a selfish creature. I crave your company too much to do what I should.

"तुम क्या सोच रही हो?" उसने उत्सुकता से पूछा। मैंने उसकी गहरी सुनहरी आँखों में देखा, थोड़ी बौखलाई और, हमेशा की तरह, सचमुच बोल पड़ी। "मैं यह समझने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ कि तुम आखिर हो कौन?"

"What are you thinking?" he asked curiously. I looked up into his deep gold eyes, became befuddled, and, as usual, blurted out the truth. "I'm trying to figure out what you are."

मैं सोच रहा था कि समय कितनी अजीब तरह से बहता है, कभी-कभी धुंध की तरह चुपचाप निकल जाता है, और कुछेक यादें ही एकदम साफ दिमाग में बस जाती हैं। और कभी-कभी, एक-एक पल बहुत अहम हो जाता है, जो ज़ेहन में हमेशा के लिए दर्ज हो जाता है।

I was thinking about how disjointedly time seemed to flow, passing in a blur at times, with single images standing out more clearly than others. And then, at other times, every second was significant, etched in my mind.

The absence of him is everywhere I look.

एडवर्ड को अकेले रहते हुए लगभग एक सदी हो चुकी है। अब उसे तुम मिल गई हो। तुम वे बदलाव नहीं देख सकती जो हम देखते हैं, हम जो इतने लंबे अरसे से उसके साथ हैं। क्या तुम्हें लगता है कि हम में से कोई भी अगले सौ साल तक उसकी आँखों में देखना चाहेगा अगर वह तुम्हें खो दे?

It's been almost a century that Edward's been alone. Now he's found you. You can't see the changes we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you?

इसलिए, घबराने के बजाय, मैंने अपनी आँखें बंद कर लीं और एडवर्ड के साथ गाड़ी में वो बीस मिनट बिताए। मैंने कल्पना की कि मैं एडवर्ड से मिलने के लिए एयरपोर्ट पर ही रुक गई थी। मैंने विजुअलाइज़ किया कि कैसे मैं उसका चेहरा देखने के लिए अपने पंजों के बल खड़ी हो जाऊँगी। कितनी तेज़ी से और कितनी खूबसूरती से वह हम दोनों के बीच की भीड़ को चीरते हुए आगे बढ़ेगा। और फिर मैं हम दोनों के बीच के उस थोड़े से फासले को मिटाने के लिए दौड़ पड़ूंगी—हमेशा की तरह लापरवाह—और आखिरकार सुरक्षित महसूस करते हुए उसकी संगमरमर जैसी बाँहों में समा जाऊँगी।

So, instead of panicking, I closed my eyes and spent the twenty minutes' drive with Edward. I imagined that I had stayed at the airport to meet Edward. I visualized how I would stand on my toes, the sooner to see his face. How quickly, how gracefully he would move through the crowds of people separating us. And then I would run to close those last few feet between us - reckless as always - and I would be in his marble arms, finally safe.

बेला?" दूर से एक दूसरी आवाज़ गूँजी। नहीं! भगवान के लिए, काश मैं इस जानी-पहचानी डरावनी आवाज़ को सिर्फ अपने दिमाग की कल्पना मान रही होऊँ।

Bella?" a different voice called from the distance. No! Please let me be imagining that horribly familiar voice.

Bella?" a different voice called from the distance. No! Please let me be imagining that horribly familiar voice.

क्या मेरी माँ ठीक है?" "वह बिल्कुल ठीक हैं। चिंता मत करो, बेला, मेरी उनसे कोई दुश्मनी नहीं है। सिवाय इसके कि, अगर तुम अकेली नहीं आई हो तो बात अलग है।" हल्की और मज़ेदार आवाज़ में। "मैं अकेली हूँ।" अपनी पूरी ज़िंदगी में मैं कभी इतनी अकेली नहीं रही थी।

Is my mom all right?" "She's perfectly fine. don't worry, Bella, I have no quarrel with her. Unless you didn't come alone, of course." Light, amused. "I'm alone." I'd never been more alone in my entire life.

बेला।" एडवर्ड की आवाज़ बिल्कुल मेरे पास थी, जिसमें अब राहत साफ झलक रही थी। "क्या तुम मुझे सुन सकती हो?" "नहीं," मैंने कराहते हुए कहा। "चले जाओ यहाँ से।"

Bella." Edward's voice was right beside me, relieved now. "Can you hear me?" "No," I groaned. "Go away.

Bella." Edward's voice was right beside me, relieved now. "Can you hear me?" "No," I groaned. "Go away.

धूप मेरी त्वचा पर चुभ रही थी, सफेद कंक्रीट से टकराकर इतनी तेज़ चमक रही थी कि मेरी आँखें चौंधिया गईं। मुझे ऐसा लगा मानो मैं खतरे में हूँ और हर तरफ से खुली पड़ी हूँ। जितनी शिद्दत से मैंने कभी सोचा भी नहीं था, उससे कहीं ज़्यादा गहराई से मैंने चाहा कि काश मैं फोर्क्स के हरे-भरे, सुरक्षित जंगलों में होती... अपने घर में होती।

The sun was hot on my skin, too bright as it bounced off the white concrete and blinded me. I felt dangerously exposed. More fiercely than I would have dreamed I was capable of, I wished for the green, protective forest of Forks . . . of home.

बेला: "क्या मुझे डरना चाहिए?" एडवर्ड: "बहुत ज़्यादा।"

Bella: "Should I be afraid?" Edward: "Terrified."

Bella: "Should I be afraid?" Edward: "Terrified."

हाँ, आज का दिन थोड़ा अजीब है क्योंकि किसी ने मुझसे यह नहीं कहा कि मैं कितनी मीठी खुशबू देती हूँ।

Yeah, it's an off day when I don't get somebody telling me how edible I smell." - Bella Swan.

मैं कोई ऐसी कार नहीं हूँ जिसे ठीक किया जा सके। मैं कभी ठीक से नहीं चल पाऊँगी।

भालू," मैंने बुदबुदाते हुए डर की फेहरिस्त में एक और नाम जोड़ लिया। "यह तो बिल्कुल उसकी किस्मत जैसी बात है, है ना? शहर में कोई भालू भटक कर आ गया है। और ज़ाहिर है कि वह सीधा बेला की तरफ ही आता।

Bears," I muttered, adding a new fear to the pile. "That would be just her luck, wouldn't it? Stray bear in town. OF course it would head straight for Bella.

सौ गज की दूरी पर, माइक न्यूटन बेला के बेजान शरीर को फ़ुटपाथ पर लिटा रहा था। वह गीले कंक्रीट पर बेसुध ढलुई सी पड़ी थी, उसकी त्वचा किसी लाश की तरह पीली पड़ गई थी। मैंने लगभग कार का दरवाज़ा ही उखाड़ दिया था।

A hundred yards away, Mike Newton was lowering Bella's limp body to the sidewalk. She slumped unresponsively against the wet concrete, her skin chalky as a corpse. I almost took the door off the car.

बेला।" उसने बेचैनी से मेरे चेहरे को सहलाया। "मैं कहीं नहीं जा रहा। जब तक तुम्हें मेरी ज़रूरत है, मैं यहीं रहूँगा।" "क्या तुम कसम खाते हो कि तुम मुझे छोड़कर नहीं जाओगे?" मैंने फुसफुसाते हुए पूछा। मैंने अपनी हाँफती साँसों को काबू में करने की कोशिश की, कम से कम इतना तो किया ही। मेरी पसलियाँ दुख रही थीं। उसने अपने दोनों हाथ मेरे चेहरे के दोनों तरफ रखे और अपना चेहरा मेरे करीब ले आया। उसकी आँखें खुली और गंभीर थीं। "मैं कसम खाता हूँ।

Bella." He strocked my face anxiously. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here as long as you need me." "Do you swear you won't leave me?" I whispered. I tried to control the gasping, at least. My ribs were throbbing. He put his hands on either side of my face and brought his face close to mine. His eyes were wide and serious. "I swear.

तो बेला, जब मैं तुम्हारे कमरे से, जहाँ मैं तुम्हें सोते हुए देख रहा था, बाहर आया तो उसके बाद मैं जंगलों में तुम्हारी खुशबू का पीछा कर रहा था... हाँ, यह बात शुरू करने का एक बेहतरीन तरीका होता।

So, Bella, I was following your scent through the woods after I'd left your room where I was watching you sleep...Yes that would be quite the ice breaker.

मेरी पहली भाषा, आत्मा की वह सच्ची भाषा जो केवल हमारे मूल ग्रह पर बोली जाती है, उसमें विश्वासघात या गद्दार जैसे शब्दों के लिए कोई जगह नहीं थी। यहाँ तक कि वफ़ादारी के लिए भी नहीं—क्योंकि इसके विपरीत के बिना, इस शब्द का कोई अर्थ ही नहीं था।

My first language, the true language of the soul spoken only on our planet of origin, had no word for betrayal or traitor. Or even loyalty- because without the opposite, the concept had no meaning.

इसाबेल स्वान के रूप में मेरी आखिरी रात। कल रात, मैं बेला कलन बन जाऊँगी। हालाँकि यह पूरी शादी की मुसीबत मेरे गले की फाँस जैसी थी, फिर भी मुझे मानना पड़ेगा कि यह नाम सुनने में अच्छा लग रहा था। - बेला स्वान

फिर से गिर गईं, बेला?' नहीं, एम्मेट, मैंने एक वेयरवोल्फ़ के चेहरे पर मुक्का मारा है।

Fall down again, Bella?' No, Emmett, I punched a werewolf in the face.

"तुम सबसे नेक, सबसे पवित्र जीव हो जिसे मैं कभी मिला हूँ। तुम्हारे बिना यह ब्रह्मांड एक अंधेरी जगह बन जाएगा," वह फुसफुसाया।

"You are the noblest, purest creature I've ever met. The universe will be a darker place without you," he whispered.

मुझे लगता है कि किशोरावस्था इंसान के जीवन का एक बहुत ही दिलचस्प दौर होता है—यह आपको ज़िंदगी के कुछ सबसे गहरे घाव और कुछ सबसे रोमांचक पल देता है। यह एक अजीब सी अवस्था है; आप इतने बड़े हो चुके होते हैं कि खुद को पूरी तरह वयस्क महसूस कर सकें, इतने समझदार होते हैं कि ऐसे फ़ैसले ले सकें जो आपके बाकी जीवन को प्रभावित करें, प्यार में पड़ने के लिए काफी उम्र के होते हैं, फिर भी (ज्यादातर मामलों में) इतने छोटे होते हैं कि बिना किसी और की अनुमति के उन फ़ैसलों को खुलकर न ले सकें।

I think being a teenager is such a compelling time period in your life--it gives you some of your worst scars and some of your most exhilarating moments. It's a fascinating place; old enough to feel truly adult, old enough to make decisions that affect the rest of your life, old enough to fall in love, yet, at the same time too young (in most cases) to be free to make a lot of those decisions without someone else's approval.

मुझे उसके बारे में सोचने की अनुमति नहीं थी। इस बात को लेकर मैं बहुत सख्त रहने की कोशिश करती थी। बेशक मैं बहक जाती थी; मैं आखिरकार इंसान ही थी। लेकिन मैं इस मामले में बेहतर होती जा रही थी, इसलिए अब मैं कई-कई दिनों तक उस दर्द से बच सकती थी। इसकी कीमत यह थी कि मुझे कभी खत्म न होने वाला सूनापन सहना पड़ता था। दर्द और कुछ न होने के बीच, मैंने कुछ न होने को चुना था।

I was not allowed to think of him. That was something I tried to be very strict about. Of course I slipped; I was only human. But I was getting better, and so the pain was something I could avoid for days at a time now. The trade-off was the never-ending numbness. Between pain and nothing, I'd chosen nothing.

मैं जानती हूँ कि प्यार और हवस हमेशा साथ-साथ नहीं चलते।

I know love and lust don't always keep the same company.

जब मैंने तुमसे कहा था कि मुझे तुम्हारी ज़रूरत नहीं है, तो वह सबसे बड़ा और भयानक पाप था।

कभी-कभी क्लास से भाग जाना सेहत के लिए अच्छा होता है।" साफ कहें तो, इंसानों के लिए यह ज्यादा बेहतर था कि जब इंसानों का खून बहने वाला हो, तो वैम्पायर उस दिन क्लास से गायब रहें।

It's healthy to ditch class now and then." To be precise, it was healthier for humans if vampires ditched on days when human blood would be spilt.

तुम और मैं एक-जिसे खोएंगे नहीं, मैं तुम्हें हमेशा ढूँढ निकालूँगा। चाहे तुम कितनी भी अच्छी तरह छिप जाओ। मुझे रोकना नामुमकिन है।

You and I won't lose each other, I will always find you again. No matter how well you hide. I'm unstoppable.

You and I won't lose each other, I will always find you again. No matter how well you hide. I'm unstoppable.

मैं, जिसे वांडरर कहा जाता है, तुमसे प्यार करती हूँ, इंसान इयान। और यह कभी नहीं बदलेगा, चाहे मैं कुछ भी बन जाऊँ।

I, the soul called Wanderer, love you, human Ian. And that will never change, no matter what I might become.

I, the soul called Wanderer, love you, human Ian. And that will never change, no matter what I might become.

और फिर हम खुशी-खुशी हमारे हमेशा के इस छोटे से लेकिन बेहतरीन सफ़र पर आगे बढ़ गए।

सभ्यता से दूर रहना बहुत सुकून देने वाला था, और यही बात मुझे परेशान कर रही थी। मुझे यह अकेलापन इतना अच्छा नहीं लगना चाहिए था।

It was very relaxing to be away from civilization, and this bothered me. I should not have found the loneliness so welcoming.

और यह अलग था क्योंकि मैं उसे अपने ख्यालों में पहले ही इतनी बार, इतने अलग-अलग तरीकों से खो चुका था। और इसलिए भी अलग था क्योंकि वह कभी मेरी थी ही नहीं जिसे मैं खोता। और इसलिए अलग था क्योंकि इसमें मेरी कोई गलती नहीं थी।

And it was different because I'd already lost her so many times, so many ways, in my head. And different because she was never really mine to lose. And different because this wasn't my fault.

And it was different because I'd already lost her so many times, so many ways, in my head. And different because she was never really mine to lose. And different because this wasn't my fault.

यह ऐसा था जैसे कोई मर गया हो—जैसे कि मैं खुद मर गया हो। क्योंकि यह सिर्फ सच्चे से सच्चे प्यार को खोने से कहीं ज़्यादा था, हालांकि किसी की जान लेने के लिए सिर्फ इतना ही काफी नहीं होता। यह एक पूरा भविष्य, एक पूरा परिवार खोने जैसा भी था—वह पूरी ज़िंदगी जिसे मैंने खुद चुना था...

It was like someone had died- like I had died. Because it had been more than just losing the truest of true loves, as if that were not enough to kill anyone. It was also losing a whole future, a whole family- the whole life that I'd chosen...

जिससे आप डरते हैं, आप उससे भाग सकते हैं, जिससे आप नफरत करते हैं उससे लड़ने की कोशिश कर सकते हैं। मेरी सारी प्रतिक्रियाएँ इस तरह के कातिलों—दानवों, दुश्मनों—से निपटने के लिए थीं। लेकिन जब आप उसी से प्यार करने लगें जो आपको मार रहा है, तो आपके पास कोई रास्ता नहीं बचता। आप कैसे भागेंगे, आप कैसे लड़ेंगे, जब ऐसा करने से उस प्यारे इंसान को चोट पहुँचेगी? अगर आपकी ज़िंदगी ही वह इकलौती चीज़ है जो आप अपने अजीज़ को दे सकते हैं, तो आप उसे कैसे नहीं देंगे? खासकर तब जब वह कोई ऐसा हो जिससे आप सचमुच प्यार करते हों?

You could run from someone you feared, you could try to fight someone you hated. All my reactions were geared toward those kinds of killers – the monsters, the enemies. When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give your beloved, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?

आग और बर्फ़, जो किसी तरह एक-दूसरे को नष्ट किए बिना एक साथ मौजूद थे। इस बात का एक और सबूत कि मैं उसी के लिए बनी हूँ।

Fire and ice, somehow existing together without destroying each other. More proof that I belonged with him.

क्या तुम सच में यह मानती हो कि तुम मुझसे उतना प्यार नहीं करती जितना मैं तुमसे करता हूँ?" उसने मेरे करीब झुकते हुए फुसफुसाया, उसकी गहरी सुनहरी आँखें जैसे आर-पार देख रही थीं। मैंने याद करने की कोशिश की कि साँस कैसे छोड़ते हैं। इससे पहले कि मुझे याद आता, मुझे अपनी नज़रें हटानी पड़ीं। "तुम फिर से वही कर रहे हो," मैंने बुदबुदाया। उसकी आँखें हैरानी से चौड़ी हो गईं। "क्या?" "मुझे अपनी जादूई चमक से अंधा कर रहे हो," मैंने उसकी तरफ दोबारा देखते हुए और ध्यान केंद्रित करने की कोशिश करते हुए स्वीकार किया। "ओह।" उसने त्यौरियाँ चढ़ाईं। "यह तुम्हारी गलती नहीं है," मैंने आह भरी। "तुम इसके बारे में कुछ नहीं कर सकते।"

Do you truly believe that you care more for me than I do for you?" he murmured, leaning closer to me as he spoke, his dark golden eyes piercing. I tried to remember how to exhale. I had to look away before it came back to me. "You're doing it again," I muttered. His eyes opened wide with surprise. "What?" "Dazzling me," I admitted, trying to concentrate as I looked back at him. "Oh." He frowned. "It's not your fault," I sighed. "You can't help it.

उसकी महक मेरे गले में सुलग उठी और मुझे इस बात से सुकून मिला। यह एक ऐसा दर्द था जो इस बात की गवाही दे रहा था कि वह ज़िंदा है। जब तक मैं सुलग रहा था, वह सुरक्षित थी।

Her scent blazed in my throat and I was glad. It was a pain that meant she was alive. As long as I burned, she was safe.

Her scent blazed in my throat and I was glad. It was a pain that meant she was alive. As long as I burned, she was safe.

लेकिन अगर तुमने उसे दोबारा ज़रा सा भी नुकसान पहुँचाया—और मुझे परवाह नहीं कि इसमें किसकी गलती है; मुझे फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि वह महज़ ठोकर खाकर गिरी या आसमान से कोई उल्कापिंड आकर उसके सिर पर गिरा—अगर तुमने उसे उस बेहतरीन हालत में वापस नहीं लौटाया जैसी हालत में मैंने उसे छोड़ा था, तो तुम तीन टांगों पर भागोगे। क्या समझे, आवारा?

But if you ever bring her back damaged again - and I don't care whose fault it is; I don't care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head - if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel?

एवर्ड के कंधे के पीछे से आते हुए एम्मेट ने कहा, "तुम दुल्हन पर अकेले ही हक जमाए बैठे हो। मुझे अपनी छोटी बहन के साथ डांस करने दो। शायद उसे शर्माने का यह मेरा आखिरी मौका हो।"

You’re monopolizing the bride,” Emmett said, coming up behind Edward’s shoulder. “Let me dance with my little sister. This could be my last chance to make her blush.

हँसते-हँसते बमुश्किल खुद को संभालते हुए वह बोल पड़ा, "तो मतलब वो अब तक खड़ी है? मुझे तो लगा था कि तुम दोनों ने अब तक उसे मलबे में बदल दिया होगा। कल रात क्या कर रहे थे? देश के कर्ज पर चर्चा?" एम्मेट ठहाके मारकर हँसने लगा।

So it’s still standing?” he managed to get out between his snickers. “I would’ve thought you two had knocked it to rubble by now. What were you doing last night? Discussing the national debt?” Emmett howled with laughter.

और फिर... जब तुम सो रही थीं, तुमने मेरा नाम लिया। तुमने इतनी साफ आवाज़ में पुकारा कि पहले तो मुझे लगा तुम जाग गई हो। लेकिन तुम बेचैन होकर करवट बदलकर लेटी और एक बार फिर मेरा नाम बुदबुदाया, और आह भरी। उस वक्त मेरे भीतर जो सैलाब उठा, वह हिला देने वाला और बेकाबू कर देने वाला था। और मैं समझ गया कि अब मैं तुम्हें नजरअंदाज नहीं कर सकता।

And then... as you were sleeping, you said my name. You spoke so clearly, at first I thought you'd woken. But you rolled over restlessly and mumbled my name once more, and sighed. The feeling that coursed through me then was unnerving, staggering. And I knew I couldn't ignore you any longer.

मैंने खुद को याद दिलाया कि प्यार बेतुका होता है। जिससे जितना ज्यादा प्यार हो, दुनिया की उतनी ही कम बातें समझ आती हैं।

Love is irrational, I reminded myself. The more you loved someone, the less sense anything made.

यह जगह सचमुच सभी दुनियाओं में सबसे ऊँची और सबसे नीली थी - सबसे खूबसूरत अहसास, सबसे दिलकश जज्बात... सबसे घटिया और खतरनाक ख्वाहिशें, सबसे काले कारनामे। शायद ऐसा ही होना तय था। शायद ऊँचाइयों तक पहुँचे बिना गहराइयों को नहीं छुआ जा सकता।

This place was truly the highest and the lowest of all worlds - the most beautiful senses, the most exquisite emotions.. the most malevolent desires, the darkest deeds. Perhaps it was meant to be so. Perhaps without the lows, the highs could not be reached.

जैसे ही मैंने अगली साँस ली, मुझे वे तीन तारे फिर दिखाई दिए। वे मुझे बुला नहीं रहे थे; वे मुझे आजाद कर रहे थे, मुझे उस काली दुनिया के हवाले कर रहे थे जिसमें मैंने जाने कितने जन्मों तक भटका था। मैं उस कालेपन में डूबती चली गई, और वह लगातार और ज्यादा रोशन होता चला गया। वह बिल्कुल भी काला नहीं था - वह नीला था। गर्म, जीवंत, चमकीला नीला... मैं बिना किसी डर के उसमें तैरती चली गई।

As I took another breath, I saw the three stars again. They were not calling to me; they were letting me go, leaving me to the black universe I had wandered for so many lifetimes. I drifted into the black, and it got brighter and brighter. It wasn't black at all - it was blue. Warm, vibrant, brilliant blue...I floated into it with no fear at all.

एक खूबसूरत लड़की जिसे कारों की अच्छी समझ थी। वाह। मैंने उसके चेहरे को और गौर से देखा, यह सोचते हुए कि काश मुझे पता होता कि इसे अपना हमसफर कैसे बनाया जाए। चलो जैक—अब तो इप्रिंट हो जा।

Nice girl who knew cars. Wow. I stared at her face harder, wishing I knew how to make it work. C’mon, Jake – imprint already.

यकीन मानो, मैं कहना चाहता था। मैंने कोशिश की है। ओह, और साथ ही, मैं पागलपन की हद तक तुम्हारे प्यार में पागल हूँ। बात को हल्का रखना।

Believe me, I wanted to say. I've tried. Oh, and also, I'm wretchedly in love with you. Keep it light.

मैंने पहले कभी किसी एक खास इंसान को जिंदा रखने की कोशिश नहीं की है, और जितना मैंने सोचा था, यह उससे कहीं ज्यादा सिरदर्द भरा काम है। लेकिन शायद ऐसा सिर्फ इसलिए है क्योंकि यह तुम हो। आम लोग बिना इतने सारे हादसों के अपना दिन आसानी से गुजार लेते हैं।

I’ve never tried to keep a specific person alive before, and it’s much more troublesome than I would have believed. But that’s probably just because it’s you. Ordinary people seem to make it through the day without so many catastrophes.

करीब नब्बे सालों से मैं अपनी ही तरह के लोगों और इंसानों के बीच घूमता रहा हूँ... और हमेशा यही सोचता रहा कि मैं अपने आप में पूरा हूँ, यह समझे बिना कि असल में मैं तलाश किसकी कर रहा हूँ। और मुझे कुछ मिल भी नहीं रहा था, क्योंकि तब तक तुम इस दुनिया में आए ही नहीं थे।

For almost ninety years I’ve walked among my kind, and yours… all the time thinking I was complete in myself, not realizing what I was seeking. And not finding anything, because you weren’t alive yet.

सचा प्यार हमेशा के लिए खो चुका था। वो राजकुमार मुझे मेरी जादुई नींद से जगाने के लिए कभी वापस नहीं आने वाला था। आखिर मैं कोई राजकुमारी थोड़ी थी। तो फिर इस तरह के दूसरे चुंबनों के लिए परियों की कहानियों वाला कौन सा नियम था? वो मामूली चुंबन जो किसी भी जादू को नहीं तोड़ते? शायद यह आसान होता—जैसे उसका हाथ पकड़ना या उसकी बाँहों में सिमट जाना। शायद यह अच्छा महसूस होता। शायद यह किसी धोखे जैसा नहीं लगता। वैसे भी, मैं किसके साथ धोखा कर रही थी? खुद अपने ही साथ।

True love was forever lost. The prince was never coming back to kiss me awake from my enchanted sleep. I was not a princess, after all. So what was the fairy-tale protocol for other kisses? The mundane kind that didn't break any spells? Maybe it would be easy - like holding his hand or having his arms around me. Maybe it would feel nice. Maybe it wouldn't fell like a betrayal. Besides, who was I betraying, anyway? Just myself.

Besides, who was I betraying, anyway? Just myself.

मेरे अंदर दो आवाज़ें आपस में लड़ रही थीं। एक जो अच्छी और बहादुर बनना चाहती थी, और दूसरी जो उस अच्छी वाली से कह रही थी कि चुपचाप अपनी जुबान बंद रखे।

Two voices struggled inside me. One that wanted to be good and brave, and one that told the good one to keep her mouth shut.

और वह मेरा दोस्त था। ऐसा नहीं है कि अगर हालात वैसे बनते तो वह मुझे मारता नहीं, लेकिन उसे ऐसा करना बिल्कुल पसंद नहीं आता। इंसानों के बीच, एक दोस्त से आप इससे ज्यादा और क्या उम्मीद कर सकते हैं?

And he was my friend. Not that he wouldn't kill me if things turned out that way, but he wouldn't like doing it. With humans, what more could you ask for a friend?

मुझे सच में बहुत खुशी है कि एडवर्ड ने तुम्हें मारा नहीं। तुम्हारे होने से सब कुछ कितना मजेदार हो जाता है।" — एम्मेट कलन

एलिस: "जब मेरा काम पूरा हो जाएगा, तो कोई तुम्हें साधारण कहने की हिम्मत नहीं करेगा।" बेला: "सिर्फ इसलिए क्योंकि उन्हें डर होगा कि तुम उनका खून चूस लोगी।"

Alice: "No one will dare to call you plain when I'm through with you." Bella: "Only because they're afraid you'll suck their blood.

बेला, वह तुम्हारे लिए किसी नशे की तरह है। मैं देख सकता हूँ कि अब तुम उसके बिना नहीं जी सकतीं। अब बहुत देर हो चुकी है। लेकिन मैं तुम्हारे लिए ज्यादा बेहतर साबित होता। कोई नशा नहीं; मैं तुम्हारी साँस, तुम्हारी धूप बनता।

He's like a drug for you, Bella. I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun.

मेरी जिन बातों से तुम्हें डर लग सकता है, उनमें से तुम्हें सिर्फ मेरी ड्राइविंग की फिक्र है।

Out of all the things about me that could frighten you, you worry about my driving.

मैंने मन ही मन सोचा कि जब वह इतनी दूर खड़ा था तो किसी और ने उसे क्यों नहीं देखा, इससे पहले कि वह अचानक, असंभव तरीके से मेरी जान बचा लेता। शर्मिंदा होते हुए, मुझे इसकी संभावित वजह समझ आई - एडवर्ड पर जितनी नजर मेरी रहती थी, उतनी किसी और की नहीं होती थी। कोई और उसे उस तरह नहीं देखता था जैसे मैं देखती थी। कितनी दयनीय बात थी।

I wondered to myself why no one else had seen him standing so far away, before he was suddenly, impossibly saving my life. With chagrin, I realized the probable cause - no one else was as aware of Edward as I always was. No one else watched him the way I did. How pitiful.

उसने हिचकिचाते हुए अपना हाथ उठाया, उसकी आँखों में कश्मिश साफ झलक रहा था, और फिर उसने अपनी उंगलियों के पोरों से तेजी से मेरे गाल को सहलाया। उसकी त्वचा हमेशा की तरह बर्फीली थी, लेकिन उसकी उंगलियों ने मेरी त्वचा पर जो निशान छोड़ा, वह डरावने हद तक गर्म था—मानो मैं जल गई हूँ, लेकिन अभी तक उसका दर्द महसूस नहीं हुआ है।

He raised his hand, hesitant, conflict raging in his eyes, and then swiftly brushed the length of my cheekbone with his fingertips. His skin was as icy as ever, but the trail his fingers left on my skin was alarmingly warm - like I'd been burned, but didn't feel the pain of it yet.

पिता बनना एक कठिन काम होना चाहिए; इस डर के साथ जीना कि कहीं आपकी बेटी को कोई ऐसा लड़का न पसंद आ जाए जो ठीक न हो, और साथ ही इस बात की भी चिंता करना कि अगर उसे कोई न मिले तो क्या होगा।

It must be a hard thing, to be a father; living in fear that your daughter would meet a boy she liked, but also having to worry if she didn't.

और फिर, बिल्कुल मेरी आँखों के सामने, तुम लगभग कुचलकर मरने ही वाली थीं। बाद में मैंने इस बात का एक बहुत बढ़िया बहाना भी सोच लिया कि मैंने उस पल वैसा क्यों किया—क्योंकि अगर मैं तुम्हें न बचाता, अगर तुम्हारा खून मेरी आँखों के सामने बह जाता, तो मुझे नहीं लगता कि मैं अपनी असलियत दुनिया के सामने आने से रोक पाता। लेकिन वह बहाना मैंने बाद में सोचा। उस समय तो मेरे दिमाग में बस यही चल रहा था, 'इसे कुछ नहीं होना चाहिए।'

Of course, then you nearly crushed to death in front of my eyes. Later I thought of a perfectly good excuse for why I acted at that moment - because if I hadn't saved you, if your blood had been spilled there in front of me, I don't think I could have stopped myself from exposing us for what we are. But I only thought of that excuse later. At the time, all I could think was, 'Not her.

बिली चाहता था कि मैं अपनी जिंदगी के सबसे खास इंसान से एक सुरक्षित दूरी बनाकर रखूँ। आखिरकार उसकी वह चिंता बेवजह साबित हुई। अब तो मैं पूरी तरह से सुरक्षित जो थी।

Billy wanted me to stay a safe distance from the most important person in my life. It turned out that his concern was, in the end, unnecessary. I was all too safe now.

मैं अपना...—उसने हाँफते हुए और पेड़ की चोटी के हिलने पर खुद को संभालते हुए कहा—...वादा निभाने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ! मेरी आँखों में आँसू थे और धुंधलापन था, मैं पलकें झपककर रह गई, और अचानक मुझे यकीन हो गया कि मैं कोई सपना देख रही हूँ। "तुमने चार्لي के पेड़ से गिरकर मरने का वादा आखिर कब किया था?"

I'm trying to keep"― he huffed, shifting his weight as the treetop bounced him―"my promise!" I blinked my wet blurry eyes, suddenly sure that I was dreaming. "When did you ever promise to kill yourself falling out of Charlie's tree?

मैंने उसका हाथ थामा, और तभी उसने मुझे इतनी तेजी से खींचा—कि मैं सीधे बिस्तर से उठकर उसकी छाती से जा लगी। उसने मेरे बालों में मुँह छिपाते हुए फुसफुसाया, "बस ऐसे ही," और मुझे भालू की तरह कसकर अपनी बाहों में भींच लिया जिससे मेरी पसलियां टूटने को थीं। मैंने हाँफते हुए कहा, "साँस... नहीं आ रही!"

I took his hand, and suddely he yanked me―too roughly―right off the bed so that I thudded against his chest. "Just in case," he muttered against my hair, crushing me in a bear hug that about to broke my ribs. "Can't―breathe!" I gasped.

माइक की आँखें शातिर तरीके से सिकुड़ गईं। "खुद को धोखा मत दो, बेला। वो लड़का तुम्हारे प्यार में पूरी तरह पागल है।" मैंने आह भरते हुए कहा, "मैं जानती हूँ। जिंदगी उलझी हुई है।" माइक ने बुदबुदाया, "और लड़कियाँ बेहद बेरहम होती हैं।"

Mike's eyes narrowed shrewdly. "Don't kid yourself, Bella. The guy's head over heels for you." "I know," I sighed. "Life is complicated." "And girls are cruel," Mike said under his breath.

उसने फुसफुसाकर पूछा, "विक्टोरिया? लॉरेंट?" मैंने सिर हिलाया, उसकी काली आँखों के तेवर देखकर मुझे थोड़ा सा डर लगा। मैंने अपनी छाती की ओर इशारा किया, "डेंजर मैगनेट, याद है?"

"Victoria?" she hissed. "Laurent?" I nodded, a teensy bit alarmed by the expression in her black eyes. I pointed at my chest. "Danger magnet, remember?"

"Victoria?" she hissed. "Laurent?" I nodded, a teensy bit alarmed by the expression in her black eyes. I pointed at my chest. "Danger magnet, remember?"

तुम थके हुए लग रहे हो। "हाँ," मैंने सहमति जताई और कंधे उचकाए। "मौत को करीब से देखने का असर ऐसा ही होता है..."

You look tired." "Yeah," I agreed, and shrugged. "Near-death experiences do that to me . . .

डैड, मैंने लिखा। मैं एलिस के साथ हूँ। एडवर्ड मुसीबत में है। जब मैं वापस आऊँगी, तो आप मुझे सज़ा दे सकते हैं। मुझे पता है यह सही समय नहीं है। बहुत अफ़सोस है। आपसे बहुत प्यार करती हूँ। बेला।

वह ऐसे भ्रामक रूप से इधर-उधर देखने लगी, मानो वह भूल गई हो कि हम लंच ब्रेक में हैं। मानो वह यह भी भूल गई हो कि हम स्कूल में हैं—और इस बात से हैरान थी कि हम किसी एकांत जगह पर अकेले नहीं थे। मैं उसकी उस भावना को पूरी तरह समझ सकता था। जब मैं उसके साथ होता था, तो बाकी की दुनिया को याद रखना बहुत मुश्किल हो जाता था।

She looked around herself, disoriented, like she’d forgotten we were at lunch. Like she’d forgotten we were even at school-surprised that we were not alone in some private place. I understood that feeling exactly. It was hard to remember the rest of the world when I was with her.

मुझे तब तक पता ही नहीं चला कि मैं रो रही हूँ जब तक वे शब्द बोलने का वक्त नहीं आ गया। 'मुझे मंज़ूर है,' मैंने किसी तरह रुंधे गले से लगभग न समझ आने वाले फुसफुसाहट में कहा... जब उसकी बारी बोलने की आई, तो उसके शब्द बिल्कुल साफ और विजयी अंदाज में गूँजे। 'मुझे मंज़ूर है,' उसने वादा किया।

I didn’t realize I was crying until it was time to say the blinding words. ‘I do,’ I managed to choke out in a nearly unintelligible whisper... When it was his turn to speak, the words rang clear and victorious. ‘I do,’ he vowed.

मैं चुपचाप वहाँ से क्यों नहीं चला गया? अरे हाँ, क्योंकि मैं एक नंबर का मूर्ख हूँ।

Why didn't I just walk away? Oh right, because I'm a idiot.

Why didn't I just walk away? Oh right, because I'm a idiot.

मैं यह कर सकता हूँ, मैंने खुद से कमज़ोर आवाज़ में झूठ बोला। कोई मुझे थोड़ी न काटने वाला था।

“इसे बस थोड़ी कमज़ोरी महसूस हो रही है,” मैंने मिसेज हैमंड को ढांढस बंधाया। “बायोलॉजी में इनके ब्लड ग्रुप की जाँच हो रही है।” वह समझ गईं और उन्होंने सिर हिला दिया। “कोई न कोई तो ऐसा होता ही है।” मैंने अपनी हँसी दबाई। और बेला ही वो एक इंसान हो सकती है, इसमें कौन सी बड़ी बात है।

She’s just a little faint,” I reassured Mrs. Hammond. “They’re blood typing in biology.” She nodded, understanding now. “There’s always one.” I stifled a laugh. Trust Bella to be that one.

मैं उसे देखता रहा, इंतज़ार करता रहा। वह मुस्कुराई। उसके होंठों के कोने ऊपर उठे और उसकी चॉकलेट जैसी आँखों में एक अपनापन आ गया। मैंने अभी-अभी उसे बताया था कि मैं उसका पीछा कर रहा था, और वह मुस्कुरा रही थी।

I watched her, waiting. She smiled. Her lips curved up and the edges, and her chocolate eyes warmed. I’d just admitted to stalking her, and she was smiling.

You should have seen his face when I started taking my clothes off. Priceless.

You should have seen his face when I started taking my clothes off. Priceless.

लेकिन बेला, एक ही समय में एक से ज़्यादा लोगों से प्यार करना मुमकिन है। मैंने ऐसा होते देखा है।

But it's possible to love more than one person at a time, Bella. I've seen it in action.

कहानी एक सोते हुए कमसिन शरीर की थी, जिसका संकरा बिस्तर था, काले बाल घने, बेतरतीब और तकिए पर समुद्री घास की तरह फैले हुए थे... बेला की लोरी

"वह हर जगह एक साथ मौजूद रहने की कोशिश कर रहा था," लाल बालों वाले ने इंसान से कहा। "असल में, वह यह सुनिश्चित करने की कोशिश कर रहा था कि एलिस को कुछ न करना पड़े।" उसने उस नन्ही काले बालों वाली लड़की को देखकर अपना सिर हिलाया। "एलिस को किसी की मदद की ज़रूरत नहीं है।" एलिस नाम के पिशाच ने जैस्पर पर गुस्से भरी नज़र डाली। अपनी साफ़ सुथरी सुरीली आवाज़ में उसने कहा, "ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा हिफाजत करने वाला मूर्ख।" जैस्पर ने उसकी नज़र का सामना आधी मुस्कान के साथ किया, और शायद एक सेकंड के लिए यह भूल गया कि मेरा कोई वजूद भी है।

He was trying to be everywhere at once," the redhead told the human. "Trying to make sure Alice had nothing to do, actually." He shook his head as he looked at the tiny blackhaired girl. "Alice doesn‘t need anyone‘s help." The vampire named Alice shot a glare at Jasper. "Overprotective fool," she said in her clear soprano voice. Jasper met her stare with a half smile, seeming to forget for a second that I existed.

बेला: अगर मेरी वजह से कुछ हुआ तो मैं खुद को कभी माफ नहीं कर पाऊंगी? आप में से किसी को भी मेरे लिए अपनी जान जोखिम में नहीं डालनी चाहिए - जैस्पर: बेला, बेला, रुको। तुम बिल्कुल गलत बातों की चिंता कर रही हो, बेला। मेरी बात मानो - हम में से किसी को भी कोई खतरा नहीं है... हमारा परिवार बहुत मजबूत है। हमारा एकमात्र डर तुम्हें खोना है। बेला: लेकिन तुम लोग क्यों - एलिस: एडवर्ड को अकेले रहते हुए लगभग एक सदी हो चुकी है। अब जाकर उसे तुम मिली हो। तुम उन बदलावों को नहीं देख सकती जो हम देख रहे हैं, जो इतने लंबे समय से उसके साथ हैं। क्या तुम्हें लगता है कि तुमको खोने के बाद हम में से कोई भी अगले सौ साल तक उसकी आँखों में देख पाएगा?

Bella: How could I live with myself when it’s my fault? None of you should be risking yourselves for me – Jasper: Bella, Bella, stop. You’re worrying all the wrong things, Bella. Trust me on this – none of us are in jeopardy… Our family is strong. Our only fear is losing you. Bella: But why should you – Alice: It’s been almost a century that Edward’s been alone. Now he’s found you. You can’t see the changes that we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you?

एडवर्ड को लगता था कि वह बेला की ज़िंदगी बर्बाद कर रहा है, जबकि उसने उसे खुश कर दिया था। और उसके लिए बस यही सब कुछ था।

Edward thought he was going to ruin Bella's life and he made her happy. And that really was everything for him.

हमारे कभी न बदलने वाले मिजाज को देखते हुए, तीव्र भावनाएँ हमें हमेशा के लिए बदल सकती हैं। लेकिन उसने कहा कि मुझे उस बात की चिंता करने की ज़रूरत नहीं है — तुमने मुझे पहले ही पूरी तरह बदल दिया था।

With our rarely changing temperaments strong emotions can alter us in permanent ways. But he said I did not need to worry about that part – you had already altered me so completely.

मैं तनाव में था, उसके और मेरे दोनों के गुस्से का इंतज़ार कर रहा था, लेकिन उसके कमरे के अंधेरे में महज़ एक खामोशी और सुकून था। मैं हवा में उस मिलन की मिठास को लगभग महसूस कर सकता था, जो उसकी साँसों की खुशबू से बिलकुल अलग महक रही थी; हम दोनों के बिछड़ने का सूनापन अपने पीछे एक कड़वी याद छोड़ गया था, जिसे मैंने तब तक गहराई से महसूस नहीं किया था जब तक वह दूर नहीं हुआ था। हमारे बीच की दूरी में कोई उलझन या तनाव नहीं था। वह ठहराव बेहद सुकून भरा था—किसी भयानक तूफान से पहले की शांति जैसा नहीं, बल्कि एक ऐसी साफ रात जैसा जिसमें तूफान आने का कोई ख्याल तक न हो।

I tensed, waiting for the fury - both his and mine - but it was only quiet and calm in the darkness of his room. I could almost taste the sweetness of reunion in the air, a separate fragrance from the perfume of his breath; the emptiness when we were apart left its own bitter aftertaste, something I didn't consciously notice until it was removed. There was no friction in the space between us. The stillness was peaceful - not like the calm before the tempest, but like a clear night untouched by even the dream of a storm.

यह बात मैं अच्छी तरह जानता था—उसके साथ बिताया गया हर एक पल, बाद में मुझे मिलने वाले दर्द को और ज्यादा ही बढ़ाने वाला था।

i did know this- every second i spent with her was only going to add to the pain i would have suffer later

और तीसरी बात, मैं बिना किसी शर्त के और हमेशा के लिए उसके प्यार में पागल था।

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

इतिहास आसान था, लेकिन कैलकुलस के बारे में मैं कुछ नहीं कह सकता। मुझे लगा कि यह मेरी समझ में आ रहा है, जिसका शायद यही मतलब है कि मैं फेल हो गया हूँ।

History was easy, but I don't know about the Calculus. It seemed like it was making sense, so that probably means I failed.

लेकिन... जब मैंने तुम्हें छोड़ा था, बेला, तो तुम लहूलुहान थीं। जैकब ही वह शख्स था जिसने तुम्हारे जख्मों को दोबारा सिला था। लाज़मी है कि इसका असर तुम दोनों पर पड़ता—तुम दोनों के बीच एक गहरा जुड़ाव बन जाता। मुझे नहीं लगता कि इस तरह के टांके अपने आप घुलते हैं। मैं तुम में से किसी को भी उस बात के लिए दोषी नहीं ठहरा सकता, जिसकी वजह मैंने खुद बनाई थी। शायद मुझे माफी मिल भी जाए, लेकिन इससे मैं अपने किए के परिणामों से बच नहीं सकता।

But... when I left you, Bella, I left you bleeding. Jacob was the one to stitch you back up again. That was bound to leave it's mark - on both of you. I'm not sure those kinds of stitches dissolve on their own. I can't blame either of you for something I made necessary. I may gain forgiveness, but that doesn't let me escape the consequences.

लोग ऐसा कैसे कर लेते हैं—अपने सारे डर को पीकर किसी दूसरे इंसान पर अपनी हर कमजोरी और हर डर के साथ आँख मूंदकर भरोसा कैसे कर लेते हैं।

पेड़ों के बीच यहाँ उन अजीब बातों पर यकीन करना बहुत आसान था, जिन्हें घर के अंदर सोचते हुए मुझे झेंप महसूस होती थी। हज़ारों सालों से इस जंगल में कुछ नहीं बदला था, और इस हरी धुंध में सैकड़ों अलग-अलग जगहों की सभी मिथक और कहानियाँ मेरे उस साफ-सुथरे बेडरूम के मुकाबले कहीं ज्यादा सच लगती थीं। बेला स्वान, स्टेफनी मेयर

Here in the trees it was much easier to believe the absurdities that embarrassed me indoors. Nothing had changed in this forest for thousands of years, and all the myths and legends of a hundred different lands seemed much more likely in this green haze than they had in my clear-cut bedroom.

मैंने इससे ज्यादा खूबसूरत चीज़ कभी नहीं देखी थी—यहाँ तक कि जब मैं हाँफती और चीखती-चिल्लाती हुई भाग रही थी, तब भी मैं इस खूबसूरती को महसूस कर सकती थी। और उन पिछले सात महीनों का अब कोई मतलब नहीं रह गया था। जंगल में कही गई उसकी बातों का भी अब कोई मतलब नहीं था। और इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता था कि वह मुझे नहीं चाहता था। चाहे मैं कितनी भी लंबी जिंदगी जीूँ, मुझे उसके अलावा और किसी की कभी चाहत नहीं होगी।

I'd never seen anything more beautiful - even as I ran, gasping and screaming, I could appreciate that. And the last seven months meant nothing. And his words in the forest meant nothing. And it did not matter if he did not want me. I would never want anything but him, no matter how long I lived.

जब मैं तुमसे बात कर रहा होता हूँ तो हमेशा जरूरत से ज्यादा बोल देता हूँ--- यही तो एक समस्या है.... एडवर्ड कुलेन, ट्वाइलाइट, अध्याय 5

इयान को क्यों लगता है कि मुझे तुम्हें चूमना चाहिए?

शायद उतार-चढ़ाव के बिना, ऊंचाइयों को छुआ नहीं जा सकता।

सुबह अपने साथ भले ही एक रोशन उम्मीद न लाई हो, लेकिन कम से कम थोड़ी सी हिम्मत और हालात को स्वीकार करने की समझ जरूर ले आई। मैं सहज रूप से जानती थी कि मेरे दिल में जो नया घाव हुआ है, वह हमेशा टीस देता रहेगा। अब यह मेरे वजूद का ही एक हिस्सा बन चुका था।

The morning brought with it, if not a brighter outlook, at least a measure of control, some acceptance. Instinctively, I knew that the new tear in my heart would always ache. That was just going to be a part of me now.

जेरेड ने उस बूढ़े आदमी को गुस्से और नफ़रत भरी नज़रों से घूरा, उसकी आँखें किसी ऐसे शख्स के धोखे और दर्द से भरी थीं जिसे अपनों ने ही धोखा दिया हो। इस तरह की नजर को बयां करने के लिए मेरे पास इंसानी इतिहास से ही मिसालें थीं—सीज़र और ब्रूटस, यीशु और जूडस।

Jared glared balefully at the old man, his eyes full of the shock and pain of the betrayed. I had only human comparisons for such a look. Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas.

तुम अपने मन के भीतर सुरक्षित हो। वहाँ तक कोई नहीं पहुँच सकता।

कभी-कभी आपको वह चीज़ चाहना सीखना पड़ता है जो आपके लिए अच्छी हो।

इयान गया नहीं था। वह यहीं तुम्हारे पास बैठा रहा—उसने कहा कि इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि तुम कैसी दिखती हो। उसने किसी और को तुम्हारे टैंक को छूने तक नहीं दिया, यहाँ तक कि मुझे या मेल को भी नहीं। लेकिन डॉक्टर ने इस बार मुझे देखने दिया। यह बहुत शानदार था, वांडा। मुझे समझ नहीं आया कि तुमने मुझे पहले क्यों नहीं देखने दिया था। हालाँकि, उन्होंने मुझे मदद नहीं करने दी। इयान ने उसके अलावा किसी को भी तुम्हें छूने नहीं दिया।' इयान ने मेरा हाथ भींच लिया और बालों के बीच से फुसफुसाते हुए झुक गया। उसकी आवाज़ इतनी धीमी थी कि सिर्फ मैं ही सुन सकती थी। 'मैंने तुम्हें अपने हाथ में थामा था, वांडेरर। और तुम बहुत खूबसूरत थीं।'

Ian didn't come. He just sat here with you--he said he didn't care what you looked like. He wouldn't let anyone else put a finger on your tank at all, not even me or Mel. But Doc let me watch this time. It was way cool, Wanda. I don't know why you wouldn't let me watch before. They wouldn't let me help, though. Ian wouldn't let anyone touch you but him.' Ian squeezed my hand and leaned in to whisper through all the hair. His voice was so low that I was the only one who could hear. 'I held you in my hand, Wanderer. And you were so beautiful.

जिंदगी की हर चीज़ की तरह, मुझे बस यह तय करना था कि जो मुझे मिला है, उसका मैं क्या करूँ।

कहानियाँ कहना सभी हुनर ​​में सबसे सम्मानित था, क्योंकि इससे सबका भला होता था।

Storytelling was the most honored of all talents, for it benefited everyone.

चेहरा नहीं, उस पर आए भाव मायने रखते हैं। आवाज़ नहीं, आप क्या कहते हैं वह मायने रखता है। इस शरीर में आप कैसे दिखते हैं यह ज़रूरी नहीं, बल्कि आप इसका इस्तेमाल कैसे करते हैं, यह ज़रूरी है। आप खूबसूरत हैं।

It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what you say. It's not how you look in that body, but the thing you do with it. You are beautiful.

हम यहाँ खून को लेकर थोड़े संवेदनशील हैं। मुझे यकीन है कि आप इस बात को समझ सकते हैं।

जब ज़िंदगी आपको रोने के सौ कारण दे, तो ज़िंदगी को दिखाओ कि आपके पास मुस्कुराने के हज़ार कारण हैं। || अपने दर्द किसी को मत बताओ... 20% लोगों को परवाह नहीं होती और बाकी 80% इस बात से खुश होते हैं कि आप मुश्किल में हैं। || यह सच है कि जो हमारे पास है उसकी कद्र हमें उसे खोने के बाद ही होती है, पर यह भी उतना ही सच है कि जो चीज़ें हमारे पास थीं ही नहीं, उनके आने से पहले हमें कभी पता ही नहीं होता कि हम किस चीज़ के बिना जी रहे थे।

=> When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile. => Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them. => It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

इसके बारे में सबसे मजेदार बात यह है कि जब मैं 'ट्वाइलाइट' सिर्फ अपने लिए लिख रही थी और इसे एक किताब के रूप में नहीं सोच रही थी, तब मैं इसके पब्लिश होने के बारे में नहीं सोच रही थी, लेकिन साथ ही साथ मैं अपने दिमाग में इसके किरदारों की कल्पना भी कर रही थी। क्योंकि जब मैं किताबें पढ़ती हूँ, तो उन्हें बहुत विजुअल रूप से यानी चित्रों की तरह देखती हूँ।

What's funny about that is when I was writing Twilight just for myself and not thinking of it as a book, I was not thinking about publishing, and yet at the same time I was casting it in my head. Because when I read books, I see them very visually.

पब्लिशिंग का मेरा अनुभव पूरी दुनिया में सबसे आसान था। मैंने एजेंटों को पंद्रह कूरियर लेटर भेजे, जिनमें से पाँच का कोई जवाब नहीं आया, नौ ने मना कर दिया और एक ने कहा कि मैं इसे देखना चाहता हूँ। एक महीने बाद मेरे पास एक एजेंट था। उसके एक महीने बाद लिटिल ब्राउन के साथ मेरी तीन किताबों की डील हो गई।

I had the easiest publishing experience in the entire world. I sent out fifteen courier letters to agents, got five no replies, nine rejections and one I want to see it. A month later I had an agent. Another month later I had a three book deal with Little Brown.

कभी-कभी सबसे अच्छी छुपने की जगह वही होती है जो सबके सामने खुली आँखों के सामने हो।

मॉरमन होना मेरे व्यक्तित्व का एक बहुत बड़ा हिस्सा है, और मैं सही रास्ते पर चलने की पूरी कोशिश करती हूँ, लेकिन मुझे नहीं पता कि मैं कोई मिसाल हूँ। मैं यह कहना पसंद नहीं करती कि, 'हाँ, मुझे देखो। मैं मॉरमन होने की एक अच्छी मिसाल हूँ।' मैं बस वह बेहतरीन इंसान बनना चाहती हूँ जो मैं बन सकती हूँ, तो उस लिहाज से, शायद मैं एक अच्छी मिसाल हूँ।

Being Mormon is a big part of who I am, and I try very hard to live the right way, but I don't know that I'm an example. I hate to say, 'Yes, look at me. I'm a good example of being Mormon.' I want to be the best person I can be, so in that aspect, maybe I'm a good example.

एक बार जब आप किसी की परवाह करने लगते हैं, तो उनके मामले में व्यावहारिक या तार्किक रहना नामुमकिन हो जाता है।

'ट्वाइलाइट' लिखने के बाद, मैंने 'द हिस्टोरियन' को पढ़ने की कोशिश की, क्योंकि गर्मियों में वही सबसे चर्चित किताब थी। लेकिन मैं दूसरे लेखकों के पिशाचों (vampires) को नहीं पढ़ सकती। अगर कहानी मेरे जैसी होती है, तो मैं परेशान हो जाती हूँ; अगर वह बहुत अलग होती है, तो भी मैं परेशान हो जाती हूँ। यह सब मुझे बहुत न्यूरोटिक बना देता है।

I tried, after I wrote 'Twilight,' to read 'The Historian,' because it was the big thing that summer. But I can't read other people's vampires. If it's too close, I get upset; if it's too far away, I get upset. It just makes me very neurotic.

मैं वादा करती हूँ कि यह आखिरी बार होगा जब आप मुझे देख रहे हैं। मैं वापस नहीं आउंगी। मैं आपको इस तरह की किसी भी मुसीबत में दोबारा नहीं डालूंगी। आप मेरी बिना किसी दखलंदाज़ी के अपनी जिंदगी आगे बढ़ा सकते हैं। ऐसा होगा मानो मेरा कभी वजूद ही नहीं था।

I promise that this will be the last time you’ll see me. I won’t come back. I won’t put you through anything like this again. You can go on with your life without any more interference from me. It will be as if I’d never existed.

किसी आत्मा को अपना दोस्त बनाना वाकई बेहद दिलचस्प है, और यह सोचकर मुझे खुद पर बहुत खास महसूस होता है कि मैंने ऐसा कर दिखाया।

It's real interesting to have a soul as a friend, and it makes me feel super special that I've managed it.

वह बस बार-बार यही कह रही है, "वह चला गया।"

मेरा पहला अहساس यही था कि आगे बढ़ पाना नामुमकिन है। लेखन गणित की तरह नहीं है; गणित में आपका मूड चाहे जैसा भी हो, दो और दो हमेशा चार ही होते हैं। लेकिन लिखने में, आपकी भावनाएँ सब कुछ बदल देती हैं।

My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math;in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything.

कभी-कभार मैं उसकी आँखों में कुछ ऐसा देखती हूँ, और सोचती हूँ कि क्या मैं कभी यह समझ पाई हूँ कि वह असल में कितने गहरे दर्द से गुजर रही है?

Now and then I see something in her eyes, and I wonder if I’ve ever grasped how much pain she’s really in.

शायद इस ग्रह पर तब तक कोई खुशी नहीं मिल सकती, जब तक कि किसी अनजान तराजू पर उसके बराबर के दर्द का वजन उसे संतुलित न कर दे।

Perhaps there could be no joy on this planet without an equal weight of pain to balance it out on some unknown scale.

हमारे बीच जो रिश्ता बना था, उसे न तो अनुपस्थिति, न दूरी और न ही समय तोड़ सकता था। और वह मुझसे चाहे जितना भी खास, खूबसूरत, प्रतिभाशाली या परफेक्ट क्यों न हो, वह भी मेरी तरह ही पूरी तरह बदल चुका था। जैसे मैं हमेशा उसी की रहूँगी, वैसे ही वह हमेशा मेरा रहेगा।

The bond forged between us was not one that could be broken by absence, distance, or time. And no matter how much more special or beautiful or brilliant or perfect than me he might be, he was as irreversibly altered as I was. As I would always belong to him, so would he always be mine.

आज का दिन हमेशा की शुरुआत और अंत दोनों है।

Today is the first and last day of forever.

Today is the first and last day of forever.

मेरा दिल नब्बे साल से धड़का नहीं था, पर यह कुछ अलग था—ऐसा लगा मानो मेरा दिल है ही नहीं, मैं अंदर से बिल्कुल खाली हो गया हूँ, जैसे मैंने सब कुछ यहीं तुम्हारे पास छोड़ दिया हो।

My heart hasn't beat in almost ninety years but this was different it was like my heart was gone like I was hallow like I'd left everything here with you.

My heart hasn't beat in almost ninety years but this was different it was like my heart was gone like I was hallow like I'd left everything here with you.

इंसान होने की सबसे खूबसूरत बात यही है: हालात बदलते हैं।

Thats the beautiful thing about being human: Things change.

Thats the beautiful thing about being human: Things change.

सिर्फ तुम ही उस चीज़ से ज़्यादा अहमियत रखती हो जो मैं चाहता था... जिसकी मुझे ज़रूरत थी। मैं बस यही चाहता हूँ और मुझे इसी की ज़रूरत है कि मैं तुम्हारे साथ रहूँ, और मैं जानता हूँ कि मुझमें यहाँ से दोबारा जाने की हिम्मत कभी नहीं होगी।

Only you could be more important than what I wanted...what I needed. What I want and what I need is to be with you, and I know I'll never be strong enough to leave again.

मैं महसूस कर सकता हूँ कि इस वक्त तुम्हारे दिल में क्या चल रहा है—और तुम इस सबके काबिल हो।

क्या तुम्हें सच में अंदाज़ा भी है कि तुम मेरे लिए कितनी ज़रूरी हो? क्या तुम कभी सोच भी सकती हो कि मैं तुमसे कितना प्यार करता हूँ?" उसने मुझे अपनी मज़बूत बाहों में कस लिया और मेरा सिर अपनी ठुड्डी के नीचे छिपा लिया। मैंने अपने होंठ उसकी बर्फ जैसी ठंडी गर्दन पर रख दिए। "मैं जानती हूँ कि मैं तुमसे कितना प्यार करती हूँ," मैंने जवाब दिया। "तुम एक छोटे से पेड़ की तुलना पूरे जंगल से कर रहे हो।" मैंने अपनी आँखें घुमाईं, पर वह देख नहीं पाया। "नामुमकिन।"

Do you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love you?" He pulled me tighter against his hard chest, tucking my head under his chin. I pressed my lips against his snow-cold neck. "I know how much I love you," I answered. You compare one small tree to the entire forest." I rolled my eyes, but he couldn't see. "Impossible.

जब आपको अपना हमसफर मिल जाए, तो कोई भी नियम आपको बांध नहीं सकता।

There are no rules that can bind you when you find your other half.

There are no rules that can bind you when you find your other half.

मैंने हल्के-फुल्के अंदाज़ में कहा और कंधे उचकाए, "अब तुम्हें पता चल गया है। आज तक किसी ने किसी से उतना प्यार नहीं किया जितना मैं तुमसे करती हूँ।"

Now you know," I said lightly, and shrugged. "No one's ever loved anyone as much as I love you.

ऐसा लग रहा था जैसे तुम बेला को दोपहर के खाने में खाने वाले हो, और हम यह देखने आए थे कि क्या तुम थोड़ा हमारे साथ भी बांटोगे।

It sounded like you were having Bella for lunch, and we came to see if you would share.

What if I'm not a superhero. What if I'm the bad guy?

बेला: "मैं कहूँगी कि मुझे खेद है, पर मुझे नहीं है।" एडवर्ड: "और मुझे इस बात का बुरा लगना चाहिए कि तुम्हें बुरा नहीं लगा, पर मुझे भी नहीं लगता।"

Bella: "I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not." Edward: "And I should feel sorry that you're not sorry, but I don't.

Bella: "I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not." Edward: "And I should feel sorry that you're not sorry, but I don't.

एक पल के आधे हिस्से के लिए, मैंने सोचा कि अपना हाथ आग में डालने पर कैसा महसूस होगा। जब मैं जलूँगा, तब वो अहसास कैसा होगा?

For one half second, I wondered what it would feel like to put my hand in the fire. What it would feel like when I burned.

For one half second, I wondered what it would feel like to put my hand in the fire. What it would feel like when I burned.

मैं यह जानना चाहूँगा कि तुम्हारे दिमाग में क्या चल रहा है—भले ही वह कितना भी पागलपन भरा क्यों न हो।

I'd rather know what you're thinking - even if what you're thinking is insane.

ज़ंदगी बेहद बकवास है, और आख़िरकार सबको मरना ही है।

Life sucks, and then you die.

Life sucks, and then you die.

मुझे लगा था कि मैंने इसे पहले ही साफ-साफ समझा दिया था। बेला, मैं ऐसी दुनिया में नहीं जी सकता जहाँ तुम्हारा वजूद ही न हो।

I thought I'd explained it clearly before. Bella, I can't live in a world where you don't exist.

I thought I'd explained it clearly before. Bella, I can't live in a world where you don't exist.

और वैसे, मैं तुमसे बहुत प्यार करता हूँ.... इस हद तक कि यह डरावना और ख़तरनाक है।

And, by the way, I adore you.... in frightening, dangerous ways.

And, by the way, I adore you.... in frightening, dangerous ways.

मुझे ऐसा महसूस हो रहा था जैसे मैं किसी डरावने सपने में फँस गया हूँ—वही सपना जिसमें आपको तब तक भागना होता है जब तक कि आपके फेफड़े फट न जाएं, लेकिन आप चाहकर भी अपने शरीर को तेज़ी से नहीं चला पाते... पर यह कोई सपना नहीं था, और उस सपने से अलग, मैं अपनी जान बचाने के लिए नहीं भाग रहा था: मैं उससे कहीं ज़्यादा कीमती चीज़ को बचाने के लिए दौड़ रहा था। आज के दिन मेरी अपनी जान की कोई कीमत नहीं थी।

I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can't make your body move fast enough... But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn't running for my life: I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today.

वह चीज़ें देखती है—ऐसी चीज़ें जो हो सकती हैं, जो आने वाली हैं। लेकिन यह सब बहुत कुछ उसकी अपनी सोच पर निर्भर करता है। भविष्य पत्थर पर लिखी लकीर नहीं होता। हालात बदलते रहते हैं।

She sees things — things that might happen, things that are coming. But it’s very subjective. The future isn’t set in stone. Things change.

बहुत कम लोगों को ऐसा दिन नसीब होता है जब उन्हें वो सब मिल जाए जो वो चाहते थे, साथ ही वो सब भी जो उन्होंने कभी मांगने के बारे में सोचा तक नहीं था।

Not many people get every single thing they want plus all the things they didn't think to ask for in the same day.

You’re still waiting for the running and the screaming, aren’t you?

किसी के प्यार में होने और प्यार के 'विचार' या 'ख्वाब' के प्यार में होने में बहुत फर्क होता है।

There s a difference between being in love and being in love with the idea of love.

There s a difference between being in love and being in love with the idea of love.

प्यार किसी को भी आपको अंदर से तोड़ने की ताकत दे देता है। और मैं तो इस तरह टूट चुका था कि अब कभी जुड़ नहीं सकता था।

love gave someone the power to break you. I'd been broken beyond repair.

आखिर ऐसी क्या बात थी कि इंसानों का यह प्यार मुझे अपनी ही जाति के प्यार से कहीं ज्यादा लुभावना लगा? क्या इसलिए क्योंकि यह सिर्फ चुनिंदा लोगों के लिए और पल-पल बदलने वाला था? रूहें तो सभी को प्यार और अपनापन देती हैं। क्या मैं किसी बड़ी चुनौती की तलाश में था?...या फिर यह सचमुच किसी तरह से बेहतर था? चूँकि ये इंसान इतनी शिद्दत से नफरत करते हैं, तो क्या इसका दूसरा पहलू यह था कि वे कहीं ज़्यादा शिद्दत, जूनून और गहराई से प्यार भी कर सकते थे?

What was it that made this human love so much more desirable to me than the love of my own kind? Was it because it was exclusive and capricious? The souls offered love and acceptance to all. Did I crave a greater challenge?...Or was it simply better somehow? Because these humans hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire?

मुझे लगता है कि मज़ाक और हास्य हमारी ज़िंदगी का हिस्सा हैं। मुझे नहीं लगता कि उपन्यासों में यह उतना उभर कर आता है जितना यह मेरे दिमाग में चलता है।

I feel like humor is a part of life. I don't think it comes through as much in the novels as it does in my head.

मैं क्या दिख रहा हूँ? द विज़ार्ड ऑफ़ ओज़? तुम्हें दिमाग चाहिए? दिल चाहिए? जाओ, मेरा ले लो। जो कुछ भी मेरे पास है, सब ले लो।

What do I look like? The Wizard of Oz? You need a brain? You need a heart? Go ahead, take mine. Take everything I have.

मैं ऐसे माहौल में पली-बढ़ी जहाँ एक अच्छी लड़की होना कोई अनोखी बात नहीं थी, बल्कि यह सबकी उम्मीद थी। मेरी सारी सहेलियाँ भी अच्छी लड़कियाँ थीं और मेरे बॉयफ्रेंड भी अच्छे लड़के थे। सब लोग बहुत अच्छे थे। और इसी बात का असर मेरे लिखने के अंदाज़ पर भी पड़ता है। मेरे उपन्यासों में बहुत ज़्यादा खलनायक नहीं होते।

I grew up in a community where it was not the exception to be a good girl. It was sort of expected. And all of my friends were good girls too, and my boyfriends were good boys. Everybody was pretty nice. And that affects how I write my characters. There aren't very many bad guys in my novels.

तुमने अपना हाथ आगे बढ़ाया, और मैंने बिना यह सोचे-समझे कि मैं क्या कर रहा हूँ, उसे थाम लिया। लगभग एक सदी में पहली बार, मुझे किसी चीज़ की उम्मीद जगी थी।

You held out your hand, and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing. For the first time in almost a century, I felt hope.

आखिरकार, एक दिल को कितनी तरह से तोड़ा-मरोड़ा जा सकता है और फिर भी उससे धड़कते रहने की उम्मीद की जा सकती है?

After all, how many ways can one heart be mangled and still be expected to keep beating?

घर पर तुम्हारा जो इंतज़ार कर रहा है, उसके आगे गुस्से से लाल भालू भी बिल्कुल सीधे-साधे लगेंगे।" मैंने फोन का ढक्कन झटके से बंद किया और उसके सामने बढ़ा दिया। "मेरा हो गया।

Angry grizzly bears are going to look tame next to what is waiting for you at home." I snapped the phone shut and placed it in her waiting hand. "I'm done.

कभी-कभी, सच और फिक्शन इस तरह आपस में मिल जाते थे कि भले ही कोई झूठ न बोला गया हो, लेकिन यह याद रखना मुश्किल हो जाता था कि असलियत में क्या था।

Sometimes, fact mixed with fiction so thoroughly that, though no lies were told, it was hard to remember what was strictly true.

जो मैंने अभी कहा, अगर तुमने उसका एक शब्द भी दोहराया, माइक, तो मैं खुशी-खुशी तुम्हारी इतनी पिटाई करूँगा कि तुम्हारी जान निकल जाए।

Repeat one word of what I just said and I'll cheerfully beat you to death, Mike.

बेला, तुमसे मिलने से पहले मेरी ज़िंदगी चाँद के बिना की रात जैसी थी। बहुत अंधेरी, लेकिन उसमें कुछ तारे थे, रोशनी और समझ के छोटे-छोटे बिंदु। ...और फिर तुम एक उल्कापिंड की तरह मेरे आसमान में चमक उठीं। अचानक हर तरफ आग लग गई; चमक थी, खूबसूरती थी। जब तुम चली गईं, जब वो उल्कापिंड क्षितिज के पार गिर गया, तो सब कुछ काला हो गया। कुछ भी नहीं बदला था, लेकिन उस तेज़ रोशनी से मेरी आँखें चौंधिया गई थीं। मुझे अब तारे दिखाई नहीं देते थे। और किसी भी चीज़ के लिए कोई वजह नहीं बची थी।

Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason, for anything.

इसी बात पर, क्या तुम मुझे समझाना चाहोगे कि तुम अभी तक ज़िंदा कैसे हो?

Speaking of which, would you like to explain to me how you’re alive
