آخری خط – بارش کی وہ آخری شام"

🌧️ آخری خط (ایک ادھوری محبت کی مکمل کہانی) "تم اگر آج بھی میرے ساتھ ہوتیں... تو شاید لفظ کم پڑ جاتے۔" کراچی کی نم سی شام، آسمان پر گہرے بادل، اور چھت پر رکھی ایک پرانی کرسی… اُس پر بیٹھا ریحان، ہاتھ میں تھامے ایک خستہ حال ڈائری، جس کے درمیان رکھا تھا ایک زرد پڑ چکا خط۔ وہی خط… زینب کا "آخری خط"۔ بارش کی بوندیں اس کے چہرے پر گرتی رہیں، مگر اس کی نظریں خط سے نہ ہٹیں۔ پندرہ سال ہو گئے، مگر ہر 13 اگست کو، وہ یہی منظر دہراتا۔ فلیش بیک: پندرہ سال پہلے جامعہ کراچی میں ریحان ایک خاموش، گم صم سا طالب علم تھا۔ کتابوں میں گم، خود میں مگن۔ اُس کی دنیا الفاظ سے جڑی تھی، لوگ اس کی خاموشی سے خائف تھے… لیکن ایک لڑکی تھی، زینب، جو اس کی خاموشی کو سننا جانتی تھی۔ زینب شوخ تھی، مگر اس کی آنکھوں میں عجیب سا سکوت تھا، جیسے وہ کچھ چھپا رہی ہو۔ وہ اکثر کہتی: "ریحان، تم بولتے کم ہو، مگر تمہارے خاموش جملے دل میں اتر جاتے ہیں۔" ریحان نے شاید پہلی بار کسی پر اعتماد کیا تھا۔ وہ دونوں لائبریری میں بیٹھے لمبی باتیں نہیں کرتے تھے، صرف ایک دوسرے کے وجود کو محسوس کرتے۔ ...

Entering the year, Milroe was far from a sure thing. He was viewed as a placeholder — a mobile QB with raw talent but uncertain passing chops. Fast-forward a few months, and Milroe had earned his spot as one of the most electrifying players in the country. Taking Over the Reins in Tuscaloosa Milroe, a 6’2”, 220-pound dual-threat quarterback from Katy, Texas, stepped into the spotlight following Bryce Young’s departure to the NFL. It was no small task — replacing a Heisman winner at a program with national championship expectations. The pressure was on, and early bumps in the road fueled doubts. A rocky performance against Texas in Week 2 led to him being briefly benched. But it turns out, that may have been the moment that lit the fire. After regaining the starting job, Milroe never looked back. Numbers Don’t Lie By the end of the ...

From Stanford to Philly:  A Journey Built on Patience McKee’s road to the NFL hasn’t been typical. After a standout high school career in Corona, California, he took a two-year LDS mission to Brazil before ever throwing a college pass. That kind of discipline and perspective has shaped the way he approaches the game. At Stanford, McKee started two seasons (2021–2022), completing 63.2% of his passes for 5,336 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. Despite playing behind a struggling offensive line and dealing with multiple coaching changes, McKee showed clear signs of pro...
