Ko To Rok Lo {Update - 174}
____________________________

Hum log 10:45 baje airport pahuch gaye. Is thodi se samay me hi chhoti maa ne mujhe dher saari baten samjha di. Jab unki flight ka samay ho gaya to, wo baki sab logon se bhi milne lagi.

Iske bad un ne mujhe gale laga kar, mera matha chuma aur fir hum sabko bye kah kar apni flight ki taraf bad gayi. Chhoti maa ke jaane se ek baar fir meri aankhon me nami chha gayi thi.

Mai unhe jate huye dekh raha tha. Tabhi achanak un ne palat kar humari taraf dekha, unki aankhon me nami si najar aa rahi thi. Lekin un ne meri taraf muskura kar dekhte huye, mujhe aansu na bahane ka ishara kiya.

Jise dekh kar maine fauran apni aankhon ko pochh liya. Un ne mujhe ek pyari si muskan di. Magar fir achanak hi unki aankhe chhalakne lagi. Un ne faurna hi apni aankhon ko ponchha aur palat kar tej kadmo se apni flight ki taraf bad gayi.

Kuch hi der me wo humari najro se ojhal ho gayi. Magar mera dil abhi bhi waha se jaane ka nahi kar raha tha aur mai apni nam aankhen liye, abhi bhi usi taraf dekhe ja raha tha, jis taraf chhoti maa gayi thi. Mujhe aisa lag raha tha, jaise ki chhoti maa fir se muskurati huyi wapas aa jayegi.

Mai bahut der tak waha waise hi khada raha aur mere sath sath baki log bhi waha khade rahe. Jab sabko waha khade huye kafi der ho gayi to, barkha ne mujhse kaha.

Barkha boli “aunty ki flight to kab ki ja chuki hai. Ab hum logon ko bhi yaha se chalna chahiye.”

Barkha ki baat sunkar, mai bhari dil se sab ke sath bahar aa gaya. Bahar aane ke bad, nikki ne hum sab ko bye kaha aur wo wapas ajay ke ghar ke liye nikal gayi. Nikki ke jaane ke bad, hum sab bhi wapas barkha ke ghar jaane ke liye nikal pade. Kuch hi der me hum barkha ke ghar pahuch gaye.

Mehul humare pahuchne ke pahle hi, waha pahuch chuka tha aur sabka hisab karne me laga tha. Raj uske pas chala gaya aur riya, nitika, neha barkha ke sath andar jakar hum sab ke khana khane ki taiyari me lag gayi.

Mai priya ke sath upar aa gaya aur apne kapde pack karne me lag gaya. Mujhe apne saman ki packing karte dekh kar, shayad priya ko mere jaane ki baat satane lagi thi. Jis vajah se uska chehra kuch murjha sa gaya tha.

Mai uske man ki is haalat ko samajh sakta tha. Isliye maine uska dimag is baat se hatane ke liye, baat banate huye us se kaha.

Mai bola “mujhe ami nimi aur ghar ke baki logon ke liye kuch kharidi karni hai. Kya tum mere sath shopping karne chalogi.”

Meri baat sunte hi priya ke chehre par muskurahat aa gayi aur usne fauran mujhse kaha.

Priya boli “haan, jarur chalugi. Lekin shopping par sirf hum dono hi jayege. Hum dono ke alawa koi teesra humare sath shopping par nahi jayega.”

Priya ki is baat par maine bhi muskurate huye haan kah diya. Abhi meri priya se baat chal hi rahi thi ki, tabhi barkha aa gayi. Usne mujhe apne kapde pack karte huye dekha to, achanak hi uske chehre ki muskurahat gayab ho gayi aur usne mujhse kaha.

Barkha boli “kya ab tum humare yaha nahi rukoge.”

Mai bola “didi, aisi koi baat nahi hai. Lekin ab kal hum logon ko ghar ke liye nikalna hai. Uske pahle mai ami nimi aur ghar ke baki logon ke liye thoda shopping karna chahta hu. Shopping karne ke bad, mujhe apne saman ki packing bhi karni hai.”

“Isliye mai apne ye kapde le ja raha hu. Taki raat ko aaram se apni packing kar saku. Ab rahi baat aapke sath rahne ki, to aap bilkul fikar mat kijiye. Mai jab tak yaha hu, tab tak mera khana aapke sath hi hoga.”

Meri baat sunkar, barkha ke chehre ki muskurahat wapas aa gayi. Usne muskurate huye kaha.

Barkha boli “chalo koi koi baat nahi. Sabke liye shopping na bhi karo, tab bhi chal jayega. Lekin ami nimi ke liye to shopping karna bahut jaruri hai. To fir tum shopping ke liye kab jaane wale ho.”

Mai bola “bas didi, khana khane ke bad, mai aur priya shopping ke liye nikal jayege.”

Meri baat sunkar barkha ne mujhse kaha.

Barkha boli “mujhe bhi ami, nimi aur aunty ke liye kuch saman bhejna tha. Yadi tum logon ko bura na lage to, kya mai bhi tumhare sath shopping ke liye chal sakti hu.”

Mai bola “didi, isme bura lagne wali kaun si baat hai. Maine to aapse sath chalne ke liye sirf isliye nahi bola tha. Kyoki mujhe laga tha ki, aapko yaha par koi kaam na ho. Yadi aap humare sath chalna chahti hai to, jarur chal sakti hai.”

Meri baat sunte hi barkha ne kaha.

Barkha boli “to thik hai, tum log jaldi se niche se aa jao. Tab tak mai sabke liye khana lagati hu. Fir uske bad hum log shopping par chalte hai.”

Maine bhi barkha ki baat me, haan me haan mila di aur meri baat sunte hi wo niche chali gayi. Lekin barkha ke bhi humare sath jaane ki baat ko lekar, priya ka muh ban gaya. Mai uski is narajgi ko samajh sakta tha.

Lekin barkha ko apne sath jaane se rokna mere bas me nahi tha. Mai barkha ka dil dukhane ki baat soch bhi nahi sakta tha. Jis vajah se mujhe priya ka dil dukhana pad gaya tha. Maine uska bana hua muh dekh kar, us se kaha.

Mai bola “sorry, mai janta hu ki, tumhe barkha didi ka humare sath jana acha nahi lag raha hai. Lekin mai unko jaane ke liye mana karke unka dil dukhana nahi chahta tha. Mere pas unko sath lekar chalne ke alawa koi rasta nahi tha.”

Maine apni baat priya ko samjhane ke liye kahi thi. Lekin uske upar meri is baat ka ulta hi asar hua. Meri baat sunte hi, uski aankhon me aansu chamakne lage aur unse mere upar bhadakte huye kaha.

Priya boli “tumko sabki khushi ka khayal rahta hai. Lekin tumhe kabhi meri kisi khushi ka khayal nahi rahta hai. Mere liye tumne khud to kabhi apne man se kuch kiya nahi tha.”

“Upar se aaj jab maine khud tumse kuch karne ko kaha to, tumse mere liye wo bhi na ho saka. Ab mujhe tumhare sath kisi shopping par nahi jana. Tum barkha didi ke sath hi jakar apni shopping kar lo. Aaj ke bad mai kabhi tumse kuch bhi nahi kahugi.”

Ye kahte huye wo gusse me mere pas se uth kar niche chali gayi aur mai hairani se use jate huye dekhta rah gaya. Mai ye to janta tha ki, priya ko meri ye baat buri lagegi. Lekin mujhe is baat ki jara bhi ummid nahi thi ki, wo mujhse is had tak naraj ho jayegi ki, mere sath jaane se hi mana kar degi.

Hamesha har kisi ki baat par hanste rahne wali ladki ka, meri jara si baat par is tarah se naraj ho jaane ki, mujhe bas ek vajah najar aa rahi thi aur wo vajah thi ki, usne kal apne dil ka saara haal mere samne khol kar rakh diya tha.

Iske bad bhi usne mujhe apne sath hamdardi jatane tak ka mauka nahi diya tha. Aise me mera uski kahi ek chhoti si baat ko bhi pura na kar pane se, uske dil ko chot pahuchi thi. Ye baat chahe mere liye bahut choti thi.

Lekin jis ladki ne apne liye, kabhi kisi se kuch na maanga ho, uske liye ek bahut badi baat thi. Ye hi vajah thi ki, meri baat se priya ke dil ko chot pahuchi thi aur ab mere sath shopping par jana nahi chahti thi.

Mai abhi priya ke khayalon me khoya hua tha ki, tabhi barkha ne khana khane ke liye niche aane ki aawaj laga di aur mai niche aa gaya. Mere aate hi sab khana khane baithne lage.

Mai bhi sabke sath khana khane baith gaya. Lekin priya jo mere pas baithne ka kabhi koi bhi mauka nahi chhodti thi. Aaj mujhse gussa hone ki vajah se nitika ke pas jakar baith gayi.

Wo ek baar bhi najar utha kar meri taraf nahi dekh rahi thi. Mujhe samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, mai use kaise samjhau. Jab mujhe kuch samajh me nahi aaya to, maine khana khate khate ek Sms priya ko bhej diya.

Mera Sms “Aaj Kuch Kami Si Hai Tere Baigar.
Na Rang Hai Na Roshini Hai Tere Bagair.
Waqt Apni Raftaar Se Chal Raha Hai,
Bas Dhadkan Thami Huyi Hai Tere Baigar.”

Mera Sms pahuchte hi priya ne apna mobile nikal kar dekha aur fir Sms padne lagi. Mere Sms ko padne ke bad, usne meri taraf dekha to nahi, lekin uski ungliyan mobile par chalane lagi. Jise dekh kar nitika ne use tokte huye kaha.

Nitika boli “ye kya kar rahi hai. Mobile ke sath bad me khel lena. Pahle ache se khana to kha le.”

Nitika ki baat sunkar, priya ne muskurate huye us se kaha.

Priya boli “kuch nahi, bas ek faltu ka Sms aa gaya tha. Use delete kar rahi thi.”

Ye kah kar, wo fir se khana khane lagi. Uske is tarah mere Sms ko delete kar dene se hi pata chal raha tha ki, abhi uska gussa kam nahi hua hai. Lekin mere pas usko manane ke liye na to abhi samay tha aur na hi Sms karne ke siwa koi dusra rasta tha. Isliye maine use fir se Sms bhej diya.

Mera Sms “Wo Ek Dost Jo Pyara Sa Lagta Hai.
Bahut Pas Hai Fir Bhi Juda Sa Lagta Hai.
Aaya Nahi Koi Paigam Uska,
Shayad Kisi Baat Pe Khafa Sa Lagta Hai.”

Lekin priya ne mere is Sms ka bhi wo hi haal kiya, jo usne mere pahle Sms ka kiya tha. Uski is harkat se mai samajh gaya tha ki, wo itni aasani se nahi manegi. Fir bhi maine ek aakhiri koshish karte huye use ek Sms or bhej diya.

Mera Sms “Najar Se Najar Churaoge Kab Tak.
Dosti Humari Bhulaoge Kab Tak.
Yu Hi Milte Rahenge Paigam Humare,
In Paigamon Ko Mitaoe Kab Tak.”

Magar mere is Sms ka bhi priya ne wo hi haal kiya. Jo mere usne mere pichhle do Sms ka kiya tha. Priya ko manane ki meri saari koshish bekar ho chuki thi. Isliye ab mai bhi haar maan kar khana khane laga.

Khana khane ke bad, barkha taiyar hone chali gayi. Mai priya se baat karne ki koshish me laga tha. Lekin wo mujhe baat karne ka koi bhi mauka nahi de rahi thi. Tabhi keerti ka call aa gaya aur mai bahar aakar keerti se baat karne laga.

Maine use chhoti maa ke ghar wapas laune ki baat batayi. Uske bad mai use priya ki narajgi ki baat bhi batane laga. Jise sunte hi keerti hasne lagi. Use hanste dekh kar, maine us par gussa karte huye kaha.

Mai bola “mai barkha didi aur priya ke bich fasa hua hu aur tujhe meri is haalat par hansi aa rahi hai.”

Keerti boli “mai hansu nahi to or kya karu. Tum mujhe to kabhi mana nahi pate ho aur priya ko manane chale ho.”

Mai bola “chal, ab apni bak bak band kar, barkha didi aa rahi hai. Ab tu call rakh. Hum raat ko baat karte hai.”

Keerti boli “ok, mai call rakh rahi hu. Lekin mai tumko ek Sms bhejti hu. Tum usko bhej kar dekhna, shayad tumhara kaam ban jaye.”

Ye kah kar keerti ne call rakh diya aur mai uska Sms aane ka intejar karne laga. Thodi hi der me keerti ka Sms aa gaya aur maine wo Sms priya ko bhej diya.

Keerti ka Sms “Ho Jaye Koi Bhool To Na Dil Se Lagana.
Jo Bhi Shikayat Ho Mil Ke Batana.
Samjho Jo Apna To Haq Hum Pe Jatana,
Sachchi Hai Agar Dosti To Dil Se Nibhana.”

Maine keerti ka ye Sms priya ko bhej to diya. Lekin mujhe priya ke maan jaane ki jara bhi ummid nahi thi. Mai abhi ghar ke bahar tha. Isliye mai ye jaan nahi pa raha tha ki, priya par mere is Sms ka kya asar pada hai.

Lekin hua wo hi, jiski mujhe jara ummid nahi thi. Mere Sms bhejne ke kuch hi der bad, priya ka Sms aa gaya aur mai uska Sms padne laga.

Priya ka Sms “Panchhi Kah Rahe Hai Ki Hum Chaman Chhod Denge.
Sitare Kah Rahe Hai Ki Hum Gagan Chhod Denge.
Agar Hum Tumhari Dosti Me Mar Bhi Jaye To,
Tum Dil Se Pukar Lena Hum Kafan Chhod Denge.”

Priya ka ye Sms padte hi, mai ghar ke andar jaane ko hua. Magar tabhi priya aur barkha mujhe bahar aati dikh gayi. Unhe aate dekh mera chehra khushi se khil gaya. Barkha mere pas aakar mujhse baat karne lagi.

Lekin priya aate hi, seedhe gaadi me jakar baith gayi. Shayad uski narajgi abhi bhi kam nahi huyi thi aur wo abhi bhi mujhse najar nahi mila rahi thi. Lekin fir bhi mujhe is baat ki khushi thi ki, wo humare sath jaane ko taiyar ho gayi hai.

Ab mujhe is mauke ka fayda utha kar, kisi na kisi tarah uski is narajgi door karna thi. Priya ke gaadi me baithte hi, mai aur barkha bhi gaadi me baith gaye. Kuch hi der me humari gaadi ek shopping mall ke samne jakar ruk gayi.

Hum log gaadi se utre aur mall me apni shopping karne chale gaye. Maine papa ke alawa ghar ke sabhi logon ke liye kuch na kuch kharidi ki aur uske bad ami nimi ke liye khilone dekhne laga.

Is bich barkha aur priya bhi ami nimi aur chhoti maa ke liye kuch kharidi karne lagi. Hum logon ko apni shopping karne me 3 baj gaye. Humari achi khasi shopping ho gayi thi.

Iske bad hum log ghar ke liye wapas nikal pade. Lekin is sab me mere hath se priya ko manane ka ye mauka bhi nikal chuka tha aur priya ki narajgi abhi bhi mujhse kam nahi huyi thi.

Hum ghar pahuche to, mehul log raj ke sath ghar wapas ja chuke the. Mai aur priya kuch der waha ruke aur fir hum bhi priya ke ghar ke liye nikal pade. Priya ke ghar wapas pahuchne me hume 4 baj gaye.

Ghar pahuchte hi priya, sidhe apne kamre me chali aur mai shopping ka saman lekar apne kamre me aa gaya. Kamre me aane ke bad maine apne kapde badle aur let kar priya ki narajgi ke baare me sochne laga.

Mai chah kar bhi priya ki narajgi ko door nahi kar saka tha. Yahi baat sochte sochte pata nahi kab meri nind lag gayi. Do raat lagatar jagne ki vajah se mujhe itni gahri nind aayi ki, mujhe kisi baat ka hosh hi raha.

Fir meri nind sham ko 7 baje priya ke jagane par khuli. Maine uth kar darwaja khola to, priya ne beman se kaha.

Priya boli “jara apna mobile dekho, kaun kaun tumko, kab se call lagaye ja raha hai.”

Priya ki baat sunkar, maine apna mobile utha kar dekha to, usme chhoti maa, keerti, barkha, shikha didi, ajay aur seeru didi ke dher saare call the. Un sabke call dekhne ke bad, maine priya se kaha.

Mai bola “kya hua, ye log mujhe itna call kyo laga rahe hai.”

Priya boli “shikha didi aur baki sab tumhe waha bula rahe hai. Barkha didi, kuch hi der me hume lene yaha aane wali hai. Isliye ab tum jaldi se taiyar ho jao.”

Priya ki baat sunkar, maine use chay ka jataya aur fir mai fresh hone chala gaya. Fresh hone ke bad, mai taiyar hone laga. Ab mai aman ke diye kapde pahan raha tha. Mere taiyar hote hi priya bhi chay le aayi.

Hum dono chay peene lage. Abhi humara chay peena hua hi tha ki, tabhi nitika ne aakar bataya ki, barkha aa gayi hai. Barkha ke aane ki baat sunkar, hum dono uske sath bahar aa gaye.

Bahar raj, mehul, riya bhi taiyar khade the. Barkha ke sath, neha aur hitu bhi the. Mere unke pas pahuchte hi barkha ne jaldi chalne ki baat kahi aur hum sab ghar ke bahar aa gaye.

Bahar aakar sab alag alag car me baithne lage. Lekin mai bike uthane laga to, barkha ne iski vajah puchhi, tab maine use bataya ki, ye bike mujhe ajay ke bungalow me wapas rakhna hai.

Iske bad sab car me baith kar aage bad gaye aur maine bhi apni bike aage bada di. Ajay ke bangalow me car rakhne ke bad, mai ek najar bangalow ko dekhne laga. Yaha maine apna bahut hi keemti samay bitaya tha.

Isliye is bangalow se door jate huye mujhe kuch dukh bhi ho raha tha. Mai abhi bangalow ko nihar hi raha tha ki, tabhi priya log aa gayi. Maine bangalow me taala lagaya aur fir priya logon ke sath aman ke ghar ki taraf bad gaya.

Kuch hi der me hum log aman ke ghar pahuch gaye. Aman ka ghar kisi rajmahal se kam nahi lag raha tha. Humare waha pahuchte hi humara swagat seeru didi ne kiya.

Wo hum logon ko sidhe waha lekar aa gayi, jaha ajay aur aman ke sath ghar ke baki log the. Maine aman ki mom aur chacha chachi ke pair chhukar, unse aashirwad liya.

Iske bad, meri najar shikha didi ko yaha waha talash karne lagi. Shayad seeru didi meri in najro ka matlab, samajh gayi thi. Usne fauran hi mujhe tokte huye kaha.

Seerat boli “tum bekar me hi apni didi ko yaha waha dud rahe ho. Wo to sham ko hi aru, hetal aur dhiru uncle logon ke sath surat chali gayi hai. Wo bechari jaane se pahle tumse milna chahti thi. Isliye tumko call laga rahi thi. Lekin tumne unka call hi nahi uthaya aur unhe tumse mile bina hi jaana pada.”

Seeru didi ki ye baat sunkar, mera chehra chhota sa ho gaya aur ab mujhe waha kuch acha sa nahi lag raha tha. Maine ajay ko uske bangalow ki chaabi di aur use bataya ki, maine bike wahi rakh di hai.

Itna kah kar mai beman se wahi baith gaya. Meri baat sunkar, ajay kuch bolne ko hua. Lekin tabhi selu ne use tokte huye kaha.

Selina boli “bhaiya, humne aapse kuch karne ko kaha tha. Yadi aap wo nahi kar sakte hai to, aap yaha se chale jaiye.”

Selu ki baat sunkar, ajay ne mujhe baithne ko kaha aur mai uske pas baith kar chup chap sabki baten sun ne laga. Mujhe chup chap dekh kar, aman ki mom ne kaha.

Aunty boli “kya baat hai beta, yaha sab log kuch na kuch baat kar rahe hai. Lekin tum bilkul chup ho. Tumhe jara bhi sharmane ki jarurat nahi hai. Ye tumhara hi ghar hai.”

Aunty ki baat sunkar, maine kaha.

Mai bola “aunty, aisi koi baat nahi hai. Baat asal me ye hai ki, do din se meri nind puri nahi ho payi hai. Isliye mere sar me thoda sa dard hai.”

Meri ye baat sunte hi seeru didi ne kaha.

Seerat boli “are isme pareshani wali kya baat hai. Humari bhabhi doctor hai, wo abhi chutki bajate hi tumhara saara sar dard door kar degi.”

Mai seeru didi ko aisa karne se rokna chahta tha. Lekin un ne meri baat ko ansuna karte huye, ghar ke andar ki taraf aawaj lagate huye kaha.

Seerat boli “bhabhi yaha aapka chhota devar sar dard se parshan ho raha hai aur aap ho ki kitchen se bahar nikalne ka naam hi nahi le rahi hai. Aap saara kaam chhod kar jaldi se yaha aaiye.”

Seeru didi ki aawaj sunte hi, nisha bhabhi apne hath ponchhte huye humare pas aa gayi. Wo shayad sach me hi kitchen se aa rahi thi. Unko dekhte hi mere chehre par muskurahat aa gayi. Mai khada hone laga to, un ne mujhe tokte huye kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “are baithe raho hero aur ye batao ki, tumhare sar ko kya hua hai.”

Mai bola “kuch nahi bhabhi, bas nind puri na hone ki vajah se sar me jara sa dard hai. Nind puri hote hi wo bhi chala jayega.”

Meri baat sunkar, nisha bhabhi ne kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “fikar mat karo. Mere pas tumhare is sar dard ki dawa bhi hai. Mai chutki bajate hi, tumara saara sar dard gayab kar dugi”

Nisha bhabhi ki ye baat sunkar, mai kuch kahne hi wala tha ki, tabhi un ne kitchen ki taraf dekh, kar aawaj lagate huye kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “nidhi, jara waha se sar dard ki dawa to lekar aana.”

Nisha bhabhi ki aawaj sunte hi kitchen se nidhi bahar nikli. Lekin uske hath me khane ka bartan tha. Wo use lekar sidhe dining table ki taraf bad gayi aur use waha rakh kar humari taraf muskura kar dekhne lagi.

Abhi mai hairani se nidhi ko dekh hi raha tha ki, tabhi mujhe fir se kitchen ki taraf se kisi ke aane ki aahat huyi. Maine palat kar dekha to ye nikki thi. Uske hath me bhi ek khane ka bartan tha.

Wo bhi use lekar sidhe dining table ki taraf bad gayi aur use waha rakh kar, mujhe dekh kar, muskurane lagi. Mujhe kuch samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, ye sab kya ho raha.

Lekin abhi mera or jyada hairan hona baki tha. Kyoki kuch hi der bad, kitchen se hetal aur aru nikal aayi. Un ne bhi wo hi kiya, jo nidhi aur nikki ne kiya tha. Hetal aur aru ko dekhne ke bad, meri najar is baar khud-ba-khud becheni se kitchen ki taraf chali gayi.

Kyoki hetal aur aru ko dekh kar, ab mujhe aisa lag raha tha ki, mere sath majak kiya ja raha hai aur shikha didi yahi par hai. Mujhe is tarah kitchen ki taraf dekhte dekh kar, seeru didi ne mujhe tokte huye kaha.

Seerat boli “are ab kitchen ki taraf kya dekh rahe ho. Saara khana to dining table par saj chuka hai aur sajane wale bhi sab yahi hai.”

Lekin mujhe seeru didi ki baat par yakin nahi aa raha tha. Maine ajay ki taraf dekha to, usne mujhe kitchen me dekh lene ka ishara kiya. Ajay ka ishara pakar mai uth kar kitchen ki taraf jaane laga.

Mujhe kitchen ki taraf jate dekh kar, seeru didi aur selu mujhe rukne ke liye kahne lagi. Lekin mai unki baat ko ansuna karke kitchen ki taraf bad gaya. Waha pahuchte hi mujhe shikha didi dikhayi de gayi.

Wo man laga kar puriyan tal rahi thi. Shayad unhe mere aane ki khabar nahi di gayi thi. Unhe dekhte hi mere chehre ki raunak wapas aa gayi. Maine unse dhire se kaha.

Mai bola “didi.”

Meri aawaj sunte hi, un ne palat kar dekha aur mujhe apne samne pate hi, unke chehre par saare jamane ki khushiyan simat kar aa gayi. Un ne mere upar sawalon ki bauchhar karte huye kaha.

Shikha didi boli “kya bhaiya, aapko pata hai, maine aapko kitne call lagaye the. Inke yaha niyam hai, ki shadi ke bad, pahli rasoi nayi dulhan hi pakati hai. Isliye maine aap sab ko bhi yaha bulane ki ijajat le li thi.”

“Lekin aap ka call tha ki, uth hi nahi raha tha. Isliye maine priya aur barkha se aapko sath lane ko kaha tha. Magar aap log kab aaye. Barkha aur priya log kaha hai. Kya wo log aapke sath nahi aayi hai.”

Shikha didi ko apne samne dekh kar, mujhe bhi aisa lag raha tha ki, jaise mai unhe barso bad dekh raha hu. Unke saare sawalon ka maine msukurate huye ek chhota sa jabab dete huye kaha.

Mai bola “didi, sab log aaye hai. Aap khud hi dekh lijiye.”

Meri baat sunkar, shikha didi mere sath bahar sabke pas aa gayi. Barkha aur neha un se milne lagi. Nisha bhabhi ne nidhi aur hetal ko kitchen ka kaam dekhne ke liye bhejte huye mujhse kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “kaho hero, ab tumhara sar dard kaisa hai.”

Nisha bhabhi ki baat sunkar, maine muskurate huye kaha.

Mai bola “bhabhi, ab mera sar dard acha hai. Lekin aap logon ne to mujhe sach me dara hi diya tha.”

Meri baat sunkar, sab hasne lage aur barkha shikha didi ko saari baten batane lagi. Iske bad hum sabne sath baith kar khana khaya aur fir uske bad bahut der tak humari baten chalti rahi.

Shikha didi boli “kya bhaiya, aapko pata hai, maine aapko kitne call lagaye the. Inke yaha niyam hai, ki shadi ke bad, pahli rasoi nayi dulhan hi pakati hai. Isliye maine aap sab ko bhi yaha bulane ki ijajat le li thi.”

“Lekin aap ka call tha ki, uth hi nahi raha tha. Isliye maine priya aur barkha se aapko sath lane ko kaha tha. Magar aap log kab aaye. Barkha aur priya log kaha hai. Kya wo log aapke sath nahi aayi hai.”

Shikha didi ko apne samne dekh kar, mujhe bhi aisa lag raha tha ki, jaise mai unhe barso bad dekh raha hu. Unke saare sawalon ka maine msukurate huye ek chhota sa jabab dete huye kaha.

Mai bola “didi, sab log aaye hai. Aap khud hi dekh lijiye.”

Meri baat sunkar, shikha didi mere sath bahar sabke pas aa gayi. Barkha aur neha un se milne lagi. Nisha bhabhi ne nidhi aur hetal ko kitchen ka kaam dekhne ke liye bhejte huye mujhse kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “kaho hero, ab tumhara sar dard kaisa hai.”

Nisha bhabhi ki baat sunkar, maine muskurate huye kaha.

Mai bola “bhabhi, ab mera sar dard acha hai. Lekin aap logon ne to mujhe sach me dara hi diya tha.”

Meri baat sunkar, sab hasne lage aur barkha shikha didi ko saari baten batane lagi. Iske bad hum sabne sath baith kar khana khaya aur fir uske bad bahut der tak humari baten chalti rahi.

Humare ghar wapsi ki flifgt ki tickets ajay ne karwayi thi. Isliye usne baton baton me is baar me sabko batate huye kaha ki, hum log kal sham ko 5 baje ki flight se ghar wapas ja rahe hai.

Waise to hum logon ke kal wapas jaane ki baat sabhi jante the. Bas humare jaane ka koi samay tay nahi tha. Lekin jaise hi ajay ne ye baat sabko batayi, waise hi sabke chehre utar gaye.

Ajay, shikha didi, nisha bhabhi, barkha, nikki, priya aur riya ka mujhse bahut lagav hone ki baat to mai janta tha. Lekin ajay ke ye baat batate hi, sabke chehre utar jaane se mujhe ye baat bhi samajh me aa gayi thi ki, baki sab ko bhi mujhse kam lagav nahi hai.

Un sabka apne liye itna lagav dekh kar, mai samajh nahi pa raha tha ki, mai kya kahu aur kya na kahu. Wahi nisha bhabhi ne achanak hi is hansi khushi ke mahol ko sanjida hote dekha to, sabka dhyan apni taraf khichte huye kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “are aap sab ne iske jaane ki baat sunkar, is tarah se apna chehra kyo utar liya hai. Hum sabko to khush hona chahiye ki, ye jis kaam se yaha aaya tha, use pura karke ja raha hai.”

Unki is baat me seeru didi ne bhi, unka sath dete huye sab se kaha.

Seerat boli “bhabhi thik hi to kah rahi hai aur ye kaun sa hum se jyada door hai. Tum sab logon ka jab isko dekhne ka man kare, mujhe batana. Mai palak jhapakte hi isko waha se uthwa lugi.”

Seeru didi ki ye baat sunkar, sabke sath sath mere chehre par bhi hansi aa gayi aur hum logon me isi baat ko lekar baton ka daur suru ho gaya. Humari baton ka ye silsila der raat tak chalta raha.

Fir 11 baje raj ne ghar wapas chalne ki baat kahi to, hum sab ne ajay logon se ghar jaane ki ijajat li aur raj ke sath wapas uske ghar ke liye nikal pade. Kuch hi der me hum raj ke ghar pahuch gaye.

Jab hum waha pahuche to, padmini aunty aur monini aunty baithi baten kar rahi thi. Humare pahuchte hi padmini aunty ne humari aaj ki party ke baare me puchha to, riya unhe party ke baare me batane lagi. Sab baith kar padmini aunty se baten karne lage.

Lekin priya ki narajgi abhi bhi mujhse door hote najar nahi aa rahi thi. Ab raat ke 12 bajne wale the aur do raton se jaagne ki vajah se mujhe ab nind satane lagi thi. Isliye maine sabko good night kaha aur apne apne kamre me aa gaya.

Apne kamre me aakar, maine apne kapde badle aur fir bed par lette huye keerti ko call laga diya. Mere call lagate hi, keerti ne mera call kaat diya aur fir uska call mere mobile par aane laga.

Lekin uska ye call uske pahle wale mobile se aa raha tha. Isliye mai thoda soch me pad gaya. Magar fir maine mauke ki najakat ko samajhte huye, uska call utha liya. Mere call uthate hi, keerti ne mujhse kaha.

Keerti boli “sorry jaan, us mobile me kuch network problem ho gayi hai. Jis vajah se, us se call nahi ja raha hai.”

Mai bola “koi baat nahi, tu ruk, mai tujhe wapas call karta hu.”

Itna kah kar, maine keerti ka koi jabab sune bina hi, uska call kaat kar, use wapas call laga diya. Usne mera call uthate huye kaha.

Keerti boli “are tumne mera call kyo kaat diya. Mere mobile me bahut balance hai.”

Mai bola “mere mobile me bhi bahut balance hai aur abhi to mere pas tere diye huye, recharge card bhi jaise ke taise hi rakhe huye hai. Isliye ab tu mere balance ki chinta karna chhod de aur ye bata ki, ab teri tabiyat kaisi hai.”

Keerti boli “meri tabiyat to achi hai. Lekin mai tumse najar hu.”

Mai bola “kyo, kya hua.? Maine aisa kya kar diya, jo tu mujhse naraj hai.”

Keerti boli “jyada bhole mat bano. Sham ko maine tumhe kitne call lagaye the. Lekin tumne mera ek bhi call nahi uthaya.”

Mai bola “sorry, meri bahut gahri nind lagi thi. Isliye mujhe tera call aane ki baat pata hi nahi chali.”

Keerti boli “lekin tum sokar, uthne ke bad to, call laga kar, ye baat puchh sakte the na ki, mai tumko itne call kyo laga rahi thi.”

Mai bola “haan, mujhse ye galti jarur huyi hai.”

Ye bolte huye, maine keerti ko apne jaagne se lekar abhi tak ki saari baten batayi aur fir uske call karne ki vajah puchhi to usne kaha.

Keerti boli “wo call mai nahi, ami laga rahi thi. Pahle usne mausi ke mobile se call lagaya tha. Lekin jab tumne call nahi uthaya to, mausi ne usko baar baar call lagane se mana kar diya tha. Isliye fir wo mere pas upar aakar tumko call laga rahi thi. Lekin tumne mere mobile se bhi call nahi uthaya.”

Mai bola “kya wo abhi jaag rahi hai.”

Keerti boli “nahi, wo so gayi hai. Lekin tum uski fikar mat karo. Jab tumne uska call nahi uthaya to, maine nitika ko call laga kar, uski baat nitika se karwa di thi. Nitika ne use bata diya tha ki, tum so rahe ho aur shikha didi log bhi tumko call laga laga kar pareshan ho gayi hai. Kyoki raat ko un ne sabko khane ke liye bulaya hai.”

Keerti ki ye baat sunkar, pahle to maine shukun ki saans li. Fir us par jhutha gussa dikhate huye kaha.

Mai bola “jhuthi, char sau bees, tujhe sab pahle se hi pata tha. Fir bhi mujhse naraj hone ka natak kar rahi thi.”

Meri baat sunkar, keerti hasne lagi. Fir achanak hi use priya ki baat yaad aa gayi aur usne mujhse kaha.

Keerti boli “priya ka kya hua. Wo tumhare sath shopping par gayi thi ya nahi gayi.”

Mai bola “tune jo msg bheja tha. Us msg bhejne ke bad, usne mujhe msg bhi kiya aur mere sath shopping par bhi gayi thi. Lekin wo abhi bhi mujhse koi baat nahi kar rahi hai.”

Keerti boli “isme itna jyada naraj hone wali baat to nahi hai. Wo tumse bevajah hi naraj hai.”

Mai bola “nahi, wo bevajah naraj nahi hai. Abhi tum uski narajgi ki puri vajah nahi janti ho.”

Ye kahte huye, maine keerti ko meri raat ko priya se huyi saari baten bata di. Jise sunkar, keerti bhi soch me pad gayi. Jab thodi der tak, jab wo kuch nahi boli to, maine us se kaha.

Mai bola “kya hua.? Ab tu kis soch me pad gayi.”

Meri baat sunkar, keerti ne ek thandi si saans bharte huye kaha.

Keerti boli “mai ye soch rahi thi ki, priya tumko tab se chahti hai. Jab tumne shilpa ko dekha tak nahi tha. Yadi tumko usi samay priya ke is pyar ka pata chal gaya hota to, aaj shayad mai priya ki jagah par aur priya meri jagah par hoti.”

Keerti ki ye baat sunkar, maine chidchidate huye kaha.

Mai bola “tu ye kaisi bahki bahki baten kar rahi hai. Yadi tujhe aisi hi baten karna hai to, tu phone rakh, mujhe nind aa rahi hai.”

Meri baat sunkar, keerti ne ghabrate huye kaha.

Keerti boli “are tum phone mat rakhna. Mai to bas aise hi bol rahi thi.”

Abhi meri keerti se baat chal hi rahi thi ki, tabhi dusre mobile par uska call aane laga aur usne mujhse kaha.

Keerti boli “dekh kya rahe ho. Badi mushkil se call laga hai. Jaldi se call uthao.”

Maine fauran uska call uthaya aur usne mera call katte huye mujhse kaha.

Keerti boli “aakhir call lag hi gaya. Kitni der se call lagane ki koshish kar rahi thi.”

Mai bola “tu mujhse baat kar rahi thi ya tera saara dhyan call lagane par hi laga hua tha.”

Keerti boli “are mai baat karte karte call bhi laga kar dekh rahi thi ki, call ja raha hai ya nahi. Aakhir itni der bad call lag hi gaya.”

Mai bola “haan, tere liye mujhse baat karne se jyada jaruri kaam, mera balance bachana tha. Isliye tera dhyan meri baton par nahi, balki call lagane par laga hua tha.”

Keerti mere is tarah jara si baat par chidchidane ka matlab samajh gayi thi. Isliye usne mujhe apni pahle ki baat ko samjhate huye kaha.

Keerti boli “sorry baba, lekin tum meri baat ka galat matlab mat nikalo. Asal me mujhe priya ki ye baat sunkar, wo din yaad aa gaya, jab mujhe tumhare shilpa ko pasand karne ki baat chali thi.”

“Us din mai raat bhar bahut royi thi. Us din mujhe mere bachpan ka pyar, mujhse door hote najar aa raha tha aur mujhe aisa lag raha tha, jaise meri jindgi se sab kuch khatam ho gaya ho.”

“Mai is baat ko sah nahi pa rahi thi aur ro ro kar, upar wale se apne liye sirf maut hi mange ja rahi thi. Us din ke bad, mai jab bhi tumhe dekhti thi to, mera dil rone lagta tha.”

“Lekin tum mere dard se anjan, mujhse puchhte rahte ki, mujhe kya hua, kya mai tumse kisi baat ko lekar naraj hu. Tab mujhe na chahte huye bhi, tumse kahna pad jata tha ki, mujhse kuch nahi hua hai.”

“Mujhe tumhari khushi ke liye, tumhare samne muskurana pad jata tha. Magar andar hi andar tumko kho dene ke dard se mera dil rota rahta tha. Mera dil karta tha ki, mai ek baar tumhe apne gale se laga kar khoob ro lu.”

“Apne dil ka saara haal tumhe suna du. Lekin aisa karne ki meri himmat hi nahi hoti thi. Mai bas andar hi andar raat din ghutti rahti thi. Shayad meri is ghutan ko dekh kar, upar wale ko bhi mujh par raham aa gaya.”

“Usne tumhe shilpa ka nahi hone diya aur meri is dard bhari ghutan ka ant ho gaya. Lekin aaj bhi jab mai us din ki baat sochti hu to, meri aankhon me aansu aa jate hai.”

Itni baat kah kar keerti chup ho gayi. Shayad sach me uski aankhon me aansu aa gaye the. Lekin uski is baat ko sunkar, mai un dino ki yaad me kho gaya. Un dino wo aksar jara jara si baat par mere ghar aa jaya karti thi.

Wo hamesha mere aas pas madrati rahti thi. Mere kamre me taank jhank karna aur mujhe chor najron se dekhte rahna, uski aadat si ban gayi thi. Mai uski is bechaini ko kabhi samajh hi nahi saka ki, wo aisi harkat kyo kar rahi hai.

Mai to bas uski is harkat ko dekh kar, us se yahi kahta tha ki, tu kya yaha par meri jasusi karne aati hai. Meri is baat ko sunkar, wo hasne lagti aur ye baat wahi par aayi gayi ho jati.

Magar aaj jab mujhe uski un harkaton aur uski un bujhi bujhi aankhon ka matlab samajh me aaya to, mai apni aakhon ko chhalakne se na rok saka. Mai bhi us samay kitna nadan tha, jo uske is pyar ko kabhi mehsus hi na kar saka.

Mai apni aankhon me aansu liye, un dino ko yaad kar raha tha. Tabhi keerti ki aawaj, mujhe un yaadon se bahar khich layi. Keerti ne khud ko sambhalte huye mujhse kaha.

Keerti boli “sorry, mai tumhare dil ko koi thes lagana nahi chahti thi. Mai janti hu ki, tab tum mere dil ki baton se puri tarah se anjan the. Lekin iske bad bhi tum mujhe bahut pyar karte the.”

“Mere tumse itna ladne jhagadne aur pareshan karne ke bad bhi, tum mere ek baar bulane par hi daude chale aate the. Mujhe tumhara is tarah, meri itni jyada parwah karna bahut acha lagta tha.”

“Iisliye mai jaan bujh kar, tumhe pareshan kiya karti thi. Hamesha tumhare sath rahne ke bahane duda karti rahti thi. Tumhare sath ye sab karte karte, mujhe bas raat din bas tumhari hi soch rahne lagi thi.”

“Mai tum me itna jyada kho chuki thi ki, mujhe ye tak pata nahi chala ki, kab meri tumhe dekhne wali najar badal gayi hai aur mai tumhe dil hi dil pyar karne lagi hu.”

“Mujhe tumse itna jyada pyar ho gaya tha ki, mujhe tumhare bina jeene se acha, marna lagne laga tha. Aaj kismat se mujhe mera pyar mil gaya hai. Magar aaj bhi jab kabhi mere man me tumse door hone ka khayal aata hai to, meri jaan nikalne lagti hai.”

“Isliye jab aaj maine priya ki ye baat suni to, mera dil uske dard ko mehsus karke tadap utha tha. Mera irada apni kisi baat se tumko dukh pahuchne ka hargij nahi tha.”

Mai khamoshi se keerti ki ye baten sun tha aur uski baten sunte sunte mere chehre par khud hi muskurahat aa gayi. Uski baat khatam hote hi, maine us se kaha.

Mai bola “mai ye to nahi kahta ki, mai bhi teri tarah, tujhe suru se aise hi pyar karta tha. Kyoki mere man me ye baat kabhi aayi hi nahi thi ki, humare bich aisa kuch ho sakta hai.”

“Lekin ye baat sach hai ki, tu mujhe suru se hi sabse achi lagti thi aur mai har ladki ki sundarta ki tulna bhi suru se, tujhse hi karta aa raha hu. Tu bas mujhe bahut achi lagti thi aur tera sath mujhe bahut shukun deta tha.”

“Isliye tere ladne, jhagadne aur pareshan karne ke bad bhi, mai tere ek baar bulane par hi dauda dauda tere pas pahuch jata tha. Mai jab kabhi bhi tujhe dekhta to, ek baat jarur mere man me aati thi ki, kash tu meri bahan na hoti to, mai tujhe jindgi bhar ke liye apna bana kar rakh leta.”

“Lekin iska matlab ye hargij nahi tha ki, mai tere baare me kuch ulta sidha sochta tha. Maine tere baare me kabhi kuch galat nahi socha. Bas tu mere liye………..”

Abhi meri baat puri bhi nahi huyi thi ki, keerti meri baat par khilkhila kar hasne lagi. Use hanste dekh mujhe laga ki, shayad use meri is baat par yakin nahi hai. Isliye maine use apni baat ka yakin dilane ki kosis karte huye, us se kaha.

Mai bola “kya hua, kya tujhe meri is baat viswas nahi ho raha hai. Mera yakin maan, mai sach kah raha hu. Mere man me aaj tak tere liye kabhi koi bura vichar nahi aaya. Tu chahe to, mujhse kisi ki bhi kasam le sakti hai.”

Meri is baat ko sunte hi keerti ki hansi ruk gayi aur usne mujh par gussa hote huye kaha.

Keerti boli “ae tumhe kisi ki bhi kasam khane ki jarurat nahi hai. Mujhe khud se jyada tum par viswas hai. Tum nahi jante, mujhe sabse shukun bhari nind tab aayi, jab mai pahli baar tumhare pas soyi thi.”

“Tumne pyar se mere mathe ko chuma aur fir bahut der tak mere sar par hath ferte rahe. Us raat ko mai apne jeevan me kabhi nahi bhool sakti aur yahi chahti hu ki, waisi raat mere jeevan me roj aaye.”

Keerti ki ye baat sunte hi, meri najar me us raat ka najara ghoom gaya aur maine keerti se kaha.

Mai bola “jab us samay tu jaag rahi thi to, fir yu sone ka natak kyo karti rahi. Muh se kuch boli kyo nahi.”

Keerti boli “jab tumne mere mathe par kiss kiya, tab mai apni aankh kholne hi wali thi. Lekin uske bad tum pyar se mere sar par hath ferne lage. Tumhara aisa karne se mujhe itna shukun mila ki, mai aankh kholna hi bhool gayi.”

“Fir mujhe pata hi nahi chala ki, kab mai meethi nind me so gayi. Wo raat meri jindgi ki sabse yaadgar raat ban gayi aur fir mai tumhare isi pyar ke lalach me roj tumhare pas aakar sone lagi.”

“Ab dobara kabhi aisa mat sochna ki, mujhe tum par viswas nahi hai. Mere to viswas ka dusra naam hi tum ho. Jis din mera ye viswas toot jayega, us din meri saanso ki ye dor bhi toot jayegi.”

Keerti ki in baton ko sunkar, mujhe us par bahut pyar aa raha tha. Yadi is samay wo mere pas hoti to, ab tak maine use apni bahon me bhar liya hota. Magar is samay uske mere pas na hone se mai ek thandi si aah bhar kar rah gaya.

Ye hi haal waha shayad keerti ka bhi tha. Is baat ke bad, wo bhi khamosh si ho gayi thi. Hum dono hi khamosh the ki, tabhi mere mobile ki Sms tone baj uthi. Maine mobile utha kar dekha to, priya ka Sms tha. Keerti ne Sms pad kar sunane ko kaha to, mai wo Sms keerti ko pad kar sunane laga.

Priya ka Sms “Maine Use Ishara Kiya.
Usne “Salam” Likh Bheja.
Maine Puchha Tumhara Naam Kya Hai.
Usne “Chand” Likh Bheja.
Maine Puchha Tumhari Aankhen Kaisi Hai.
Usne “Jaam” Likh Bheja.
Maine Puchha Tumhe Kya Chahiye.
Usne “Saara Aasmaan” Likh Bheja.
Maine Puchha Kab Miloge.
Usne “Kayamat Ki Shaam” Likh Bheja.
Maine Puchha Kis Se Darte Ho.
Usne “Mohabbat Ka Anjaam” Likh Beja.
Maine Puchha Tumhe Nafrat Kis Se Hai.?
Kambakht Ne “Mera Naam” Likh Bheja.”

Priya ka Sms keerti ko pad kar sunane ke bad, maine us se kaha.

Mai bola “tune iska Sms suna na. Ye ladki khud bhi pagal hai aur mujhe bhi pagal karke rahegi. Mujhe to yaad hi nahi ki, maine us se ye nafrat karne wali baat kab kah di.”

Meri baat sunkar, keerti ne hanste huye kaha.

Keerti boli “are mujhe to is Sms me aisi koi baat najar nahi aa rahi. Ye to usne majak me bheja hai.”

Mai bola “mai us se kah chuka hu ki, mujhe shayari samajh me nahi aati hai to, fir use aisa Sms karna hi nahi chahiye tha.”

Keerti boli “ho sakta hai ki, usne tumko pareshan karne ke liye ye shayari wala Sms kiya ho. Chalo aaj tumahri taraf se mai us se baat karti hu.”

Keerti ki baat sunkar, maine chaukte huye kaha.

Mai bola “tera dimag to thikane hai. Tu us se kya baat karegi aur use kya batayegi ki, tu kaun hai.”

Keerti boli “isme itna pareshan hone ki baat nahi hai. Wo khud hi samajh jayegi ki, mai kaun hu. Tum bas us se meri conference me baat karwao. Pahle apne mobile se mujhe call karo aur uske bad usko call lagao. Baki sab mujh par chhod do.”

Mai bola “yaha ek pagal kam hai, jo tujhe bhi pagalpan karne ki sujh rahi hai.”

Keerti boli “tum daro mat, kuch nahi hoga. Tum bas call karo.”

Maine keerti ko samjhane ki bahut koshish karta raha. Magar ab usne bhi priya se baat karne ki jid pakad li thi. Jab wo meri baat sunne ko taiyar nahi huyi to, fir mujhe uski baat manna hi pad gayi.

Maine pahle apne dusre mobile se keerti ko call kiya. Uske call utha lene ke bad, maine dhadakte dil se priya ko call laga diya. Keerti hold par thi aur priya ke mobile par call ja raha tha. Jaise jaise priya ke mobile ki ring baj rahi thi. Waise waise ab kya hoga, ye soch soch kar mere dil ki dhadkane bad rahi thi.

Mai bola “tera dimag to thikane hai. Tu us se kya baat karegi aur use kya batayegi ki, tu kaun hai.”

Keerti boli “isme itna pareshan hone ki baat nahi hai. Wo khud hi samajh jayegi ki, mai kaun hu. Tum bas us se meri conference me baat karwao. Pahle apne mobile se mujhe call karo aur uske bad usko call lagao. Baki sab mujh par chhod do.”

Mai bola “yaha ek pagal kam hai, jo tujhe bhi pagalpan karne ki sujh rahi hai.”

Keerti boli “tum daro mat, kuch nahi hoga. Tum bas call karo.”

Maine keerti ko samjhane ki bahut koshish karta raha. Magar ab usne bhi priya se baat karne ki jid pakad li thi. Jab wo meri baat sunne ko taiyar nahi huyi to, fir mujhe uski baat manna hi pad gayi.

Maine pahle apne dusre mobile se keerti ko call kiya. Uske call utha lene ke bad, maine dhadakte dil se priya ko call laga diya. Keerti hold par thi aur priya ke mobile par call ja raha tha. Jaise jaise priya ke mobile ki ring baj rahi thi. Waise waise ab kya hoga, ye soch soch kar mere dil ki dhadkane bad rahi thi.

Mai man hi man ye hi dua kar raha tha ki, priya call na uthaye aur keerti ka priya se baat karna tal jaye. Lekin meri ye dua kaam nahi aayi aur priya ne call uthate huye kaha.

Priya boli “hello, haan bolo, tumko kya bolna hai.”

Priya ke call utha lene ke bad, mere pas uski keerti se baat karane ke alawa koi rasta nahi bacha tha. Isliye maine seedhe apni baat par aate huye priya se kaha.

Mai bola “mujhe tumse kuch nahi bolna hai. Lekin koi tumse baat karna chahta hai. Bas usi ki tumse baat karane ke liye maine tumko call kiya hai.”

Meri baat sunkar, ne kuch sochte huye kaha.

Priya boli “mai abhi kisi se koi baat nahi karna chahti. Tum subah jis se chaho, us se meri baat karwa dena.”

Priya shayad samajh gayi thi ki, mai is samay uski kis se baat karwana chahta hu. Magar wo shayad khud ko abhi iske liye taiyar nahi kar pa rahi thi. Isliye is samay baat karne se mana kar rahi thi.

Lekin keerti mujhe pahle hi dam de chuki thi ki, yadi priya call uthati hai aur mai uski baat keerti se nahi karwata hu to, us se bura koi nahi hoga. Mere samne ab priya ko iske liye taiyar karne ke siwa koi rasta nahi tha. Isliye maine priya ko apni baat samjhate huye kaha.

Mai bola “mai khud tumhe itni samay pareshan karna nahi chahta tha. Lekin mujhse baat karte karte, wo achanak hi tumse baat karne ki jid karne lagi. Maine use bahut samjhaya. Lekin jab wo nahi maani to, fir maine uska call hold par rakh kar, tumko call laga diya.”

“Wo tumse conference me baat karna chahti thi. Yadi tum us se abhi baat nahi karna chahti ho to, koi baat nahi hai. Tum us se conference me ye hi baat bol do ki, tum us se kal baat karogi.”

“Tumhare aisa karne se uski tumse baat bhi ho jayegi aur use ye bhi nahi lagega ki, mai uski tumse baat karwana nahi chahta tha. Ab aage tumhari marji, tum jo thik samjho, kar sakti ho.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ne kuch der ki khamoshi ke bad, ek thandi si saans chhodte huye mujhse kaha.

Priya boli “ok, mai us se baat kar leti hu. Tum uske sath meri conference karwao.”

Priya ki baat sunte hi, maine priya ko thanks kaha aur fauran keerti ko conference me late huye, keerti se kaha.

Mai bola “ye lo, priya call par hai. Tum us se baat kar sakti ho.”

Meri baat sunkar, keerti ne mujhe ok kaha aur fir priya se kaha.

Keerti boli “hello priya, mere baare me to tum samajh hi gayi hogi ki, mai kaun hu.”

Keerti ki is baat par priya ne bhi muskurate huye kaha.

Priya boli “hello, haan mai ye to samajh gayi hu ki, tum kaun ho. Lekin punnu ne mujhe kabhi tumhara naam nahi bataya. Kya mai tumhara naam jaan sakti hu.”

Priya ki is baat ko sunkar, mai bhi keerti ke jabab ka bechaini se intejar karne laga. Udhar keerti ne priya ka ye sawal suna to, usne priya se hanste huye kaha.

Keerti boli “hehehe, mera naam tumhari tarah pyara nahi hai na, isliye punit ne tumhe mera naam nahi bataya hoga. Mera naam Tripti hai.”

Keerti ke muh se Tripti ka naam sunte hi, mujhe ek jhatka sa laga. Mujhe ummid thi ki, priya ke is sawal ke jabab me keerti ankita ka naam batayegi. Lekin keerti ke muh se Tripti naam sunkar, mai hairan rah gaya.

Magar ye hairani sirf mujhe hi nahi ho rahi thi. Balki priya bhi is naam ko sunkar chauke bina na rah saki aur usne bhi hairan hote huye keerti se kaha.

Priya boli “kya tum wo hi Tripti ho, jiski kavitaye punnu padta hai.”

Priya ki is baat par keerti ne hanste huye kaha.

Keerti boli “nahi, mai wo Tripti nahi hu. Magar maine punit se uski kavitaye suni jarur hai aur mujhe khud bhi sher aur shayari bahut pasand hai. Lekin mai jab bhi isko shayari bhejti hu to, ye mere upar chidchidane lagta hai.”

Keerti ki baat sunkar, priya ne bhi hanste huye kaha.

Priya boli “mujhe bhi shayari karna bahut pasand hai. Meri to baat baat par shayari karne ki aadat hai aur ye mere upar bhi isi tarah chidchidata hai.”

Keerti boli “lekin mere upar iske chidchidane ka jara bhi asar nahi padta. Mai to iske bad bhi ise shayari bhej hi deti hu.”

Priya boli “mai bhi aisa hi karti hu. Maine to abhi thodi der pahle hi is ek shayari bheji hai.”

Ye baat bol kar priya khikhilane lagi aur uski is hansi me keerti bhi uska sath nibhane lagi. Dono mil kar is baat ko lekar mera majak udane lagi. Wo dono pahli baar ek dusre se baat kar rahi thi.

Magar unki baton se kahi se bhi aisa nahi lag raha tha ki, wo pahli baar ek dusre se baat kar rahi hai. Lekin un dono ki in baton me sabse ajib baat ye thi ki, dono me se koi bhi na to kisi se meri burayi sun sakti thi aur na hi kisi ko mera majak udate huye dekh sakti thi.

Lekin aaj dono khud hi ek dusre se mera majak bhi uda rahi thi aur meri burayi bhi kar rahi thi. Shayad dono hi aisa karke ek dusre ko khush karne me lagi thi. Unki is harkat par mujhe bhi hansi aa rahi thi.

Isliye maine un dono ki is baat chit me bich me padna thik nahi samjha aur mai khamoshi se unki baton ka maja leta raha. Kuch der tak wo dono aise hi mera majak udati rahi. Fir baat hi baat me keerti ne priya se kaha.

Keerti boli “ye sab to thik hai. Lekin mujhe tumse bhi ek shikayat hai. Punit itne dino tak mumbai me raha. Lekin ab bina mumbai dekhe hi, kal ghar wapas aa raha hai. Kya tum use mumbai ki kuch khas khas jagah bhi nahi dikha sakti thi.”

Keerti ki ye baat sunte hi priya ne apni safayi dete huye kaha.

Priya boli “is sab me meri jara bhi galti nahi hai. Iske pas khud hi mere sath kahi aane jaane ka samay nahi tha aur jab maine ise mumbai ghumane ki baat sochi to, isne mera bhi mood kharab karke rakh diya.”

Ye kahte huye priya ne keerti ko kal ki shopping wali saari baten bata di. Jise sunkar keerti ne priya ki tarafdari karte huye mujhse kaha.

Keerti boli “ye to tumne sach me bahut galat kaam kiya hai. Tumko samajhna chahiye tha ki, priya ne yadi tumse kisi ko apne sath na le chalne ki baat kahi thi to, us samay uske man me koi to baat rahi hogi. Tumhe apni is galti ke liye priya se abhi sorry bolna hoga. Warna ab mai bhi tumse baat nahi karugi.”

Keerti ki ye baad sunkar, mai hadbada gaya aur priya ki hansi chhut gayi. Meri hadbadahat ki vajah ye thi ki, sab kuch janne ke bad bhi, keerti ne priya ko jara bhi samjhane ki koshish nahi ki thi aur mujhe apni safayi dene ka mauka diye bina hi sorry bolne ki shart rakh di thi.

Lekin is sab ke bad bhi mujhe priya se sorry bolne me koi pareshani nahi thi. Mujhe to bas priya ki narajgi ko door karna tha. Isliye maine bhi bina koi bahas kiye priya se kaha.

Mai bola “sorry, mai apni galti ke liye maafi chahta hu.”

Lekin priya bhi keerti se kuch kam nahi thi. Usne mere is sorry ko ek sire se nakarte huye kaha.

Priya boli “mujhe tumhare is sorry ki koi jarurat nahi hai. Tumhe is galti ki saja jarur milegi aur tumhari saja ye hi hai ki, tum mujhe shayari me manao.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, mujhe fir ek jhatka laga. Dono hi ladkiyan mujhe jhatke par jhatke diye ja rahi thi aur meri jara bhi parwah nahi kar rahi thi. Yadi yahi kaam mujhe wo Sms me karne ko kahti to, mere mobile me dher saari shayari thi. Mai aasani se priya ko shayari bhej sakta tha.

Lekin abhi mere dono hi mobile busy the aur aise me mere koi shayari bol pane ka sawal hi paida nahi hota tha. Keerti shayad meri is pareshani ko samajh gayi thi. Isliye usne hanste huye kaha.

Keerti boli “waise to priya ne tumko bilkul thik saja di hai. Lekin mai priya ki is saja se tumko kuch riyayat de deti hu. Tum yadi priya ko shayari me nahi mana sakte ho to, use koi gaana gaa kar bhi mana sakte ho.”

Keerti ki baat sunkar, ek baar fir priya ke hasne ki aawaj goonj gayi aur usne bhi keerti ki is baat par apni sahmati dete huye kaha.

Priya boli “ok, mujhe tripti ki ye baat manjur hai. Ab tum der mat karo, jaldi se mujhe manana suru karo.”

Priya aur keerti ki is baat ke bad, mere pas unki baat manne ke alawa koi rasta nahi tha. Magar fir bhi maine unhe safayi dete huye kaha.

Mai bola “mujhe tum logon ki is ko manne me koi pareshani nahi hai. Lekin mujhe koi bhi gaana pura nahi aata.”

Priya boli “koi baat nahi, tumhe jitna bhi gaana aata hai. Tum utna hi gaana gaa do. Lekin jaldi karo, warna fir tumhe raat bhar gaana hi gana padege.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, maine bahas karna thik nahi samjha aur fir apna gala saaf karte huye sur me gaana gana suru kar diya.

Mera gaana “Musu Musu Hasi, Deu Malai Lai

Has Do Na Tum Zaraa
Do Na Humko Tum Sazaa

Tum Jo Has Pade To
Ab Hum Bhi Muskurayen

Aao Mil Ke Saath Gaayein
Dil Se Dil Bhi Milayein

Hey Hey, Musu Musu Hasi, Deu Malai Lai
Musu Musu Hasi Deu

Zara Muskura De, Muskura De
Zara Muskura De, Aye Khushi

Musu Musu Hasi, Deu Malai Lai
Musu Musu Hasi Deu

Hey, Zara Muskura De, Muskura De
Zara Muskura De, Aye Khushi.”

Mere gaana khatam hone ke bad, mai keerti aur priya ke kuch bolne ka intejar karne laga. Mujhe keerti ki to koi aawaj sunayi nahi di. Lekin mere chup hote hi priya ki khilkhilahat goonj gayi aur usne chahakte huye mujhse kaha.

Priya boli “oh my god, tum to bahut acha gaate ho. Mai to tumhara gaana sunkar, usme kho si gayi thi.”

Mai bola “to ab tumhari mujhse narajgi door huyi ya nahi.”

Priya boli “haan, meri narajgi door ho gayi hai. Ab yadi tum chaho to, mai kal tumhe mumbai ki kuch khas jagah dikhane le chal sakti hu.”

Mai bola “ok, to hum kal subah subah hi chalte hai. Lekin subah uthne ke liye sona bhi jaruri hai. Isliye ab hum logon ko sona chahiye.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ne bhi is baat ki haami bhari aur fir usne keerti se ek do baten karne ke bad call rakh diya. Priya ke call rakhne ke bad, maine us mobile se keerti ka call bhi kaat diya aur fir dusre mobile par aate huye keerti se kaha.

Mai bola “kya hua, tu achanak chup kyo ho gayi thi. Kya tujhe meri kisi baat ka bura laga hai.”

Meri is baat par keerti ne muskurate huye kaha.

Keerti boli “nahi, aisi koi baat nahi hai. Mujhe tumhari kisi baat ka bura nahi laga.”

Mai bola “to fir tu mera gaana sunne ke bad se chup chup si kyo hai. Uske pahle to mera kitna majak uda rahi thi.”

Meri baat sunkar, keerti ne thandi si saans bharte huye kaha.

Keerti boli “wo to isliye, kyoki priya sach kah rahi thi. Mai bhi tumhara gaana sunkar, usi me kho si gayi thi. Mujhe to pata hi nahi tha ki, tum itna acha gaate ho. Ab se tumhe mujhe manane ke liye bhi isi tarah se gaana gana padega.”

Keerti ki is baat par maine us par jhutha gussa dikhate huye kaha.

Mai bola “ab mai kabhi koi gaana vaana nahi gaane wala hu. Ye to tune hi mujhe fasa diya tha. Lekin ab tu mujhe ye bata ki, tune priya ko apna naam ankita ki jagah tripti kyo bataya. Ankita ko tune mehul se milane ke liye taiyar kiya tha. Ab mehul se milane ke liye tripti ko kaha se layege.”

Meri is baat par keerti ne hanste huye kaha.

Keerti boli “are tum bekar me pareshan ho rahe ho. Is me kaun si pareshani wali baat hai. Hum mehul se ankita ko hi tripti kah kar milwa dege.”

Mai bola “lekin tujhe ek jhuth ke upar ye dusra jhuth bolne ki kya jarurat thi. Tune priya ko apna naam ankita hi kyo nahi bata diya.”

Keerti boli “mujhe priya ko apna naam ankita batane me koi pareshani nahi thi. Lekin ankita ke sath tumhara naam joda jana mujhe acha nahi lag raha tha. Isliye maine ye naam bata diya.”

Mai bola “jab tujhe apni saheli ankita ke sath mera naam jode jaane me tujhe pareshani thi to, fir kisi anjan ladki ke sath mera naam kyo jod diya.”

Keerti boli “kyoki tripti naam ki kisi ladki ko hum dono me se koi bhi nahi janta hai aur fir tripti naam ko sunkar, aisa hi lagta hai, jaise ki ye mera hi naam ho. Ab samajh me aaya ki, maine ye hi naam kyo liya.”

Mai bola “tu puri pagal hai. Hamesha kuch na kuch ulta sidha sochti rahti hai. Ab pata nahi, tere is ek jhuth ke pichhe, hume or kitne jhuth bolna padege.”

Keerti boli “hume is jhuth ke liye, koi or jhuth nahi bolna padega. Ab tum ye faltu ki baten mat socho. Raat bahut ho gayi hai aur tumhari do din se nind bhi puri nahi huyi hai. Isliye ab tum sirf mere baare me sochte huye meethi nind me so jao.”

Keerti ki ye baat sunkar, mujhe bhi hansi aa gayi aur fir usne mujhe good night kah kar call rakh diya. Uske call rakhne ke bad, maine aankh band ki aur keerti ke baare me sochte sochte mai gahri nind me so gaya.

Subah 6 baje meri nind priya ke jagane par khuli. Lekin uski aankhon se mujhe aisa lag raha tha, jaise ki wo raat bhar soyi na ho. Aaj uski jaani pehchani muskan bhi uske chehre se gayab thi.

Wo muskurane ki bharpur koshish kar rahi thi. Magar aaj uska chehra, uski muskurahat ka sath nahi de raha tha aur uske chehre se, uski udasi saaf jhalak rahi thi. Wo muskurate huye mujhe taiyar hone ka kah rahi thi.

Usko raat ko hanste bolte dekh kar, mujhe bahut rahat mili thi. Lekin ab subah subah uska aisa murjhaya hua chehra dekh kar, mera dil baith gaya. Mujhse baat karte karte ek pal aisa bhi aaya, jab mujhe laga ki, priya abhi ro degi.

Lekin tabhi priya palat kar mere pas se chali gayi. Uske jaane ke bad bhi, mai uske baare me hi sochta raha. Uski ye udasi, shayad aaj mere wapas chale jaane ki vajah se thi.

Lekin mai chahte huye bhi uske liye kuch nahi kar sakta tha. Mai thodi der tak baitha priya ki isi udasi ke baare me sochta raha aur fir uth kar fresh hone ke liye chala gaya.

Keerti ki ye baat sunkar, mujhe bhi hansi aa gayi aur fir usne mujhe good night kah kar call rakh diya. Uske call rakhne ke bad, maine aankh band ki aur keerti ke baare me sochte sochte mai gahri nind me so gaya.

Subah 6 baje meri nind priya ke jagane par khuli. Lekin uski aankhon se mujhe aisa lag raha tha, jaise ki wo raat bhar soyi na ho. Aaj uski jaani pehchani muskan bhi uske chehre se gayab thi.

Wo muskurane ki bharpur koshish kar rahi thi. Magar aaj uska chehra, uski muskurahat ka sath nahi de raha tha aur uske chehre se, uski udasi saaf jhalak rahi thi. Wo muskurate huye mujhe taiyar hone ka kah rahi thi.

Usko raat ko hanste bolte dekh kar, mujhe bahut rahat mili thi. Lekin ab subah subah uska aisa murjhaya hua chehra dekh kar, mera dil baith gaya. Mujhse baat karte karte ek pal aisa bhi aaya, jab mujhe laga ki, priya abhi ro degi.

Lekin tabhi priya palat kar mere pas se chali gayi. Uske jaane ke bad bhi, mai uske baare me hi sochta raha. Uski ye udasi, shayad aaj mere wapas chale jaane ki vajah se thi.

Lekin mai chahte huye bhi uske liye kuch nahi kar sakta tha. Mai thodi der tak baitha priya ki isi udasi ke baare me sochta raha aur fir uth kar fresh hone ke liye chala gaya.

Fresh hone ke bad mai taiyar hone laga. Mai abhi taiyar hua hi tha ki, tabhi priya chay nashta lekar aa gayi. Wo bhi taiyar hokar aayi thi. Is samay usne pink salwar suit pahna hua tha.

Ye wo hi salwar suit tha, jo wo mujhe apne janamdin ke dusre din pahne huye dikhi thi. Isme wo bahut sundar lag rahi thi aur ab uske chehre par uski jani pahchani muskan bhi wapas aa chuki thi.

Uske chehre ki ye muskan shayad mere sath ghumne jaane ki vajah se wapas aayi thi. Magar shayad ye hi uski sabse badi khubi bhi thi ki, wo har baat me apne aapko bahut jaldi dhaal leti thi.

Aisa hi kuch abhi bhi hua tha. Jaha abhi kuch der pahle uska chehra kisi phool ki tarah murjhaya hua tha. Wahi ab uska chehra kisi kali ki tarah khila hua tha. Use khush dekh kar, mujhe bhi bahut rahat mehsus huyi.

Mai nahi chahta tha ki, aaj bhi kal ke jaise kuch ho aur fir se koi humare sath jaane ke liye pichhe lag jaye. Mai aisa kuch hone se pahle hi ghar se nikal jana chahta tha. Isliye mai jaldi jaldi chay nashta karne laga. Mujhe is tarah hadbadi me chay nashta karte dekh kar, priya ne hanste huye kaha.

Priya boli “are nashta karne ki itni jaldi kya hai. Nashta kahi bhaga nahi ja raha hai. Aaram se nashta karo.”

Mai bola “mujhe pata hai ki, nashta kahi nahi bhagega. Magar kisi ke humare pichhe lagne se pahle, mai jarur yaha se bhagna chahta hu. Isliye tum bhi bekar ki baton me samay barbad mat karo aur jaldi se nashta karo.”

Priya meri is baat ka matlab samajh gayi thi. Isliye usne mujhse sawal karte huye kaha.

Priya boli “lekin jaldi nashta karne se kya hoga. Driver to 8 baje ke bad hi aayega aur uske aane tak to humko yahi rukna padega.”

Mai bola “nahi, hum itni der tak driver ke aane ka intejar nahi kar sakte. Hum raj ki bike lekar chalte hai. Raj ko kahi jana hoga to, wo car se chala jayega.”

Meri baat sunte hi priya nashta karna chhod kar khadi ho gayi aur kamre se bahar jaane lagi. Mujhe uski is harkat ka matlab samajh nahi aaya to, maine use tokte huye kaha.

Mai bola “ab tumko kya hua. Tum kaha ja rahi ho.”

Meri baat sunkar priya ne muskurate huye kaha.

Priya boli “mai raj bhaiya ki bike ki chabi lekar aur humare ghumne jaane ke baare me mom ko jata kar aati hu.”

Mai bola “lekin pahle tum chay nashta to kar lo.”

Priya boli “ab mai chay nashta bahar hi karugi. Tum apna chay nashta karo, tab tak mai wapas aati hu.”

Itna kah kar, priya kamre se bahar nikal gayi. Ab priya ne bahar nashta karne ki baat soch li thi to, maine bhi jaldi se chay pi aur uth kar bahar hall me aa gaya. Tabhi priya bhi mere pas aa gayi aur usne kaha.

Priya boli “kya hua, kya tumne bhi chay nashta nahi kiya.”

Mai bola “mere liye sirf chay jyada jaruri thi. Wo maine pi li hai. Ab nashta to mai tumhare sath hi karuga.”

Mere baat sunkar, priya ne muskurate huye mujhe bike ki chabi thama di aur fir hum dono ghar se bahar aa gaye. Mai raj ki bike bahar nikal hi raha tha ki, tabhi nikki ki car humare pas aakar ruki.

Nikki ne itni subah subah hum dono ko kahi jaane ki taiyari me dekha to, wo car se utar kar sidhe humare pas aa gayi aur fir hum se kaha.

Nikki boli “are aap dono itni subah subah kaha ja rahe hai.”

Mai nikki ki is baat ka jabab dene hi wala tha ki, priya ne us par bhadakte huye kaha.

Priya boli “kya tujhe itni bhi akal nahi hai ki, kahi jate samay kisi ko tokna nahi chaiye. Jo tune aate hi hum logon ko tokna suru kar diya.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, mai hairat se usko dekhne laga. Lekin nikki ne muskurate huye priya se kaha.

Nikki boli “maine tumhare jaane par koi tok nahi lagayi. Mai to bas itna kahna chahti thi ki, yadi tum log chaho to, meri car lekar ja sakte ho.”

Priya shayad car me jana nahi chahti thi. Isliye mere muh se bike ki baat sunte hi, chalne ki jaldi karne lagi thi ki, kahi mera irada na badal jaye. Lekin nikki ki apni car le jaane wali baat sunte hi wo nikki ko gusse me ghurne lagi.

Nikki bhi shayad is baat ko samajh chuki thi. Lekin wo ab bhi priya ko dekh kar, muskura hi rahi thi. Nikki ki is harkat se saaf samajh me aa raha tha ki, wo jaan bujh kar priya ko tang kar rahi hai.

Shayad nikki ko humare ghumne jaane ki baat pahle se hi pata thi. Isliye wo itni subah subah yaha aa gayi thi. Lekin abhi mai in sab baton me ulajhna nahi chahta tha. Isliye maine bike me baithte huye nikki se kaha.

Mai bola “nahi, hum logon ko aapki car nahi chahiye. Aaj hum logon ne bike se mumbai ghumne ki baat sochi hai.”

Meri baat sunte hi priya jaldi se bike me aakar baith gayi. Lekin nikki bhi uska pichha chhodne ke mood me nahi lag rahi thi. Usne fauran hi humari bike ke samne aate huye kaha.

Nikki boli “are mujhe chhod kar kaha bhage ja rahe ho. Mujhe bhi aap logon ke sath bike me ghumna hai.”

Nikki ki baat sunkar, priya ne us par bhadakte huye kaha.

Priya boli “kamini, yadi ab tune humare pichhe lagne ki koshish ki to, mujhse bura koi nahi hoga aur yadi iske bad tune apne muh se ek shabd bhi bahar nikala to, mai tera muh tod dugi.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, nikki ke sath sath meri bhi hansi chhut gayi. Nikki muskurate huye bike ke samne se hat kar priya ke pas aa gayi. Usne priya ki peeth par pyar se ek mukka maara aur fir hum dono se bye kaha. Hum dono ne bhi use bye kiya aur fir maine bike aage bada di.

Mumbai ki sadke mere liye anjan thi. Isliye mere bahar nikalte hi priya mujhe rasta batane lagi. Wo bahut khush najar aa rahi thi aur uski ye khushi uski baton se hi jhalak rahi thi. Abhi hum kuch hi doori par pahuche the ki, priya ne kaha.

Priya boli “tumne apna purse to rakh liya hai na. Warna kuch kharidi karne ke samay kahne lago ki, mai apna purse bhool aaya hu.”

Priya ki is baat par meri hansi chhut gayi. Maine hanste huye kaha.

Mai bola “tum fikar mat karo, mera purse mere pas hai. Lekin soch samajh kar kharch karwana. Kyoki ab mere pas jyada paise nahi bache hai.”

Priya boli “fir bhi tumhare pas abhi kitne paise hoge.”

Mai bola “mushkil se char panch hajar hoge. Lekin 4-5 ghante ghumne ke liye itne paise bahut hoge.”

Priya boli “nahi, itne paise se kuch nahi hoga. Hume thodi bahut shopping bhi karni hai. Tum kuch paise or nikal lo.”

Mai bola “humne kal hi to itni saari shopping ki hai. Ab tumko or kis chij ki shopping karni hai.”

Priya boli “jab mai shopping karugi, tab tumko samajh me aa jayega. Abhi to tum sirf koi ATM dekh kar, paise nikalo.”

Maine priya se paise nikalne ke baare me koi bahas karna thik nahi samjha. Lekin us se shopping ke baare me jarur puchhta raha aur wo mujhe talti rahi. Isi bich ek ATM najar aa gaya aur maine uske samne aakar bike rok di.

ATM room me aakar maine priya se puchha ki kitne paise nikalna hai aur fir uske kahne par maine das hajar rupye nikal liye. Iske bad jaise hi transaction slip lene ko hua to, priya ne fauran mere hath se wo slip le li aur dekhne lagi. Slip dekhne ke bad, priya ne chaukte huye kaha.

Priya boli “hey, tumko pata hai ki, tumhare khate me kitna paisa hai.”

Priya ki is baat par maine na me apni gardan hilate huye kaha.

Mai bola “nahi, mujhe bas itna pata hai ki, jab mai ghar se chala tha to, mere khate me teen lakh rupye the. Fir bad me shikha didi ki shadi ki baat sunkar, chhoti maa ne bhi kuch paise mere khate me daale the. Lekin unke khud hi yaha aa jaane se mujhe paise nikalne ki jarurat hi nahi padi.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ne or bhi jyada hairan hote huye kaha.

Priya boli “lekin in paison ko nikal lene ke bad to, tumhare khate me sirf 500 rupye hi bache hai. Fir tumhare baki ke paise khate me se kaha gaye.”

Priya ki baat sunkar, maine us par jhallate huye kaha.

Mai bola “oye subah subah aisa majak mat karo. Mai janta hu ki, tum jhuth kah rahi ho.”

Ye kahte huye mai priya ke hath se transaction slip chheen kar dekhne laga. Lekin slip ko dekhte hi, mai bhi hairan hokar rah gaya. Mujhe hairan hote dekh kar, priya ke chehre par muskurahat aa gayi aur usne mujhse kaha.

Priya boli “tumhare khate me pure 25 lakh jyada hai. Jiska matlab hai ki, aunty ne pahle tumhe shikha didi ki shadi me kharch karne ke liye 25 lakh rupye diye the. Lekin fir unke khud hi yaha aa jaane se, unka kharcha or bhi bad gaya. Sach me tumhari mom bahut great hai.”

Priya ki is baat ne mujhe ek baar fir soch me daal diya. Mujhe samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, mera bap itna paisa kharch karne ke liye kaise taiyar ho gaya. Mai abhi ye baat soch hi raha tha ki, tabhi priya ne mujhe tokte huye kaha.

Priya boli “are ab tum kis soch me pad gaye. Jaldi chalo, humare pas itna time nahi ki, hum ek hi jagah par itni der tak ruke rahe.”

Priya ki baat sunte hi mai uske sath ATM room se bahar nikal aaya. Bahar aakar maine bike chalu ki aur priya ke baithte hi bike aage bada di. Priya mujhe rasta batati ja rahi thi aur mai uske bataye raste par bike daudata ja raha tha.

Wo raste me padne wali khas jagah aur imarton ke baare me bhi mujhe batati ja rahi thi. Aise hi ghumte firte hum log Siddhi vinayak mandir pahuch gaye. Waha pahuch kar mai bike prak karne laga aur priya prasad lene chali gayi.

Abhi sirf 7:45 baje the aur ye pahla mauka tha, jab mai kisi mandir me itni subah subah darshan karne ke liye pahucha tha. Magar itni subah subah hi, waha ki bheed bhad aur lambi katar ko dekh kar, meri haalat kharab hone lagi.

Tabhi priya prasad aur phool mala lekar aa gayi. Usne prasad aur phool mala mujhe pakdate huye, darshan karne chalne ke liye kaha to, maine use rokte huye kaha.

Mai bola “yaar, hum bappa ko yahi se pranam kar lete hai. Yadi itni bheed bhad me hum darshan karne andar gaye to, hume sirf yahi par 4-5 ghante lag jayege aur fir hume yahi se ghar wapas lautna pad jayega.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ne muskurate huye kaha.

Priya boli “tum iski fikar mat karo. Hume darshan karne me mushkil se 15 min hi lagege. Tum bas mere sath sath chalte raho.”

Priya ki baat sunkar, mai prasad ki daliya hath me thame, uske sath sath chalne laga. Kuch door chalne ke bad, wo ek pandit ji ke pas aakar ruk gayi aur fir usne un pandit ji se kaha.

Priya boli “hum dono ko hi darshan karna hai.”

Priya ki baat sunte hi pandit ji ne, mere hath se Prasad ki daliya le li. Priya ne mujhse un pandit ji ko 500 rupye dene ki baat boli to, maine unko 500 rupye nikal kar de diye.

Pandit ji ne paise lekar apne kurte ki jeb me daale aur fir hum logon se apne pichhe pichhe aane ki baat bol kar, prasad ki daliya ko dono hathon se upar utha kar, rajdhani express ki tarah, teji se kabhi dayen to kabhi bayen bhagne lage.

Mujhe aur priya ko un pandit ji ki chaal se, apna sath milane ke liye, unke pichhe pichhe daudna pad raha tha. Lekin jaldi hi humari ye mehnat rang layi aur pandit ji naam ki rajdhani express ne hume bappa ke bilkul samne lakar khada kar diya.

Humne bade shukun ke sath ganpati bappa ke darshan kiye aur fir hum log aaram se bahar aa gaye. Bahar aakar waha ki bheed bhad dekh kar, mujhe aisa lag raha tha ki, jaise mai koi badi bhari jang jeet kar bahar aaya hu.

Jiski khushi mere chehre se hi jhalak rahi thi aur mujhe abhi bhi yakin nahi ho raha tha ki, mai itni jaldi bappa ke darshan karke aa gaya hu. Lekin tabhi priya ne mujhe tokte huye kaha.

Priya boli “dekh lo, abhi sirf 8:30 baja hai aur hum darshan karke bhi bahar aa gaye.”

Priya ki baat sunkar, maine muskura diya aur fir bike nikalne chala gaya. Bike bahar nikalne ke bad, maine priya se kaha.

Mai bola “ab kaha chalna hai.”

Priya boli “ab hum mahalaxmi mandir chalte hai.”

Ye bolte huye priya bike me baith gayi aur maine bike aage bada kar, muskurate huye kaha.

Mai bola “kya, mumbai me sirf dekhne ke liye mandir hi mandir hai ya tum mujhe koi papi samajh kar, mere paap door karne ke liye, mujhe bhagwan ke darshan karwaye ja rahi ho.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ne meri peeth par ek jordar mukka marte huye kaha.

Priya boli “hey, subah subah bhagwan ke darshan karne se din acha jata hai aur fir ye sab yaha ke prasiddh mandir hai. Isliye pahle yaha ke darshan karwa rahi hu. Iske bad baki ki khas khas jagah bhi ghuma dungi.”

Priya ki ye baat sunne ke bad bhi, mai raste bhar usko isi baat ko lekar pareshan karta raha. Aise hi hanis majak karte huye hum mahalaxmi mandir pahuch gaye. Mahalaxmi mandir me siddhi vinayak ki tarah jyada bheed bhad nahi thi.

Hume Mahalaxmi mandir me bahut aaram se teeno deviyon ke darshan karne ko mil gaye. Hum 9:30 baje darshan karke fursat ho gaye. Maine priya se nashta karne kar lene ko kaha to, usne kaha ki, Haji ali dargah dekhne ke bad nashta karege.

Haji ali dargah mahalaxmi mandir se kuch hi doori par thi. Isliye hume waha pahuchne me jyada der nahi lagi. Kuch hi der me hum Haji ali dargah pahuch gaye. Humne dargah ke darshan kiye aur fir waha ka najara dekhne lage.

Samundar me bani is dargah ko dekh kar, ek alag hi aanand ki anubhuti ho rahi thi. Isliye mai yaha baith kar, kuch der samundar ka najara dekhna chahta tha. Lekin priya ne samay ki kami batate huye, mujhe waha baithne nahi diya aur hum waha se jaldi hi bahar nikal aaye.

Bahar aane ke bad, fir maine priya se nashta kar lene ko kaha to, usne aage ek restaurant hone ki baat kah kar mujhe waha chalne ko kaha. Mai priya ke bataye raste par chalne laga.

Mujhe raste me jo bhi restaurant dikhayi deta, mai priya se puchhta, kya ye wala restaurant hai. Wo kahti nahi, bas thodi or aage hai. Aisa do teen baar hua. Aise hi thodi or aage, thodi or aage karte karte, wo mujhe mumba devi ke mandir le aayi.

Waha pahuch kar, jab mujhe priya ki ye harkat samajh me aayi to, maine bura sa muh bana liya. Jise dekh kar, priya mera hath pakad kar mandir me le gayi aur fir darshan karne ke bad usne bataya ki, Mumba devi ke naam par bombay ka naam mumbai pada hai.

Mumba devi ke darshan karne ke bad, hum seedhe Gatewey of india aa gaye. Waha aakar humne Gatewey of india aur Taj hotel ka ek sath najara kiya. Lekin priya ne waha bhi mujhe jyada der nahi rukne diya.

Waha par kuch der rukne ke bad hum, Marine drive, Girgaon chowpatty aur henging garden ka najara karte huye, seedhe Juhu beach chowpatty pahuch gaye. Lekin Juhu beach pahuchte hi, maine priya ke samne apne hath upar karte huye kaha.

Mai bola “ab bas karo meri maa. Mujh garib par thoda raham karo. Subah 7 baje se bhukha pyasa mujhe apne sath ghumaye ja rahi ho aur ab dopahar ka 1 baj gaya hai. Ab to kuch kha pi lene do, warna mujhse yaha se hila bhi nahi jayega.”

Ye kahte huye mai dhamm se wahi baith gaya. Priya mera hath pakad kar mujhe uthane ki koshish karne lagi. Lekin jab mai uske uthane par bhi nahi utha to, usne mujhe manate huye kaha.

Priya boli “are ab pareshan mat karo. Chalo mai tumko mumbai ki sabse mashhoor cheejen khilati hu.”

Ye kahte huye, usne fir se mera hath pakad kar uthaya aur is baar mai uth kar khada ho gaya. Hum chalte huye waha ke Food Stalls par aa gaye. Waha aakar priya ne ek stall ke samne padi chair par mujhe baithne ko kaha aur wo khud us stall par chali gayi.

Mai bahut thak gaya tha. Isliye mai aaram se baith kar, priya ke wapas aane ka intejar karne laga. Tabhi priya ek plate me bada pav lekar aa gayi. Use dekhte hi, maine bura sa muh banate huye kaha.

Mai bola “abe tum 6 ghante mujhe ghumane ke bad, yaha baitha kar, bada pav khila rahi ho.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ne muskurate huye mujhse kaha.

Priya boli “kya tumne kabhi bada pav khaya hai.”

Mai bola “nahi khaya aur mujhe ye khana bhi nahi hai.”

Priya boli “yadi mumbai aakar tumne ye nahi khaya to, samajh lo, tumne kuch bhi nahi khaya. Ab jyada nakhre mat karo aur chup chap kha lo. Warna kuch bhi khane ko nahi milega.”

Maine beman se ek bada pav utha liya aur khane laga. Mere sath priya bhi bada pav khane lagi. Abhi hum bada pav kha kar free huye the ki, tabhi ek ladka bhel puri lekar aa gaya.

Maine priya ki taraf dekha, wo mujhe hi ghoor rahi thi. Isliye mai chup chap bhel puri khane laga. Mai bhel puri kha hi raha tha ki, tabhi barkha ka call aa gaya. Wo khana khane ke liye ghar aane ki baat puchh rahi thi.

Maine priya se puchha ki, use kya jabab du to, priya ne 3 baje aane ka ishara kiya aur maine ye hi baat barkha se bol kar, call rakh diya. Isi ke sath mera bhel puri khana bhi ho chuka tha aur ab mera pet puri tarah se bhar chuka tha.

Lekin tabhi ek ladke ne pav bhaji lakar mere samne rakh di. Pav bhaji dekhte hi, maine uth kar khade hote huye kaha.

Mai bola “tum pagal ho gayi ho kya. Pahle bhukha rakh kar maar rahi thi aur ab khila khila kar marna chahti ho.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ne fir mujh par jhutha gussa dikhate huye kaha.

Priya boli “tum chup chap khate ho ya fir mai ise jabardasti tumhare muh me thoos du.”

Mai bola “kasam se yaar, ab mere pet me iske liye jara bhi jagah nahi hai. Yadi tum ye pahle hi manga leti to, itna sab khane ki jarurat hi nahi padti.”

Priya boli “isliye maine pav bhaji pahle nahi magayi thi. Warna tum bada pav aur bhel puri ko hath bhi nahi lagate.”

Mai bola “lekin ab mai kuch nahi kha sakta. Ye tum hi kha lo.”

Priya boli “mujhe malum tha ki, tum ise nahi kha paoge. Isliye maine ek plate pav bhaji hi mangwayi hai. Is ek plate pav bhaji ko, hum dono mil kar to, khatam kar hi sakte hai na.”

Priya ki is baat ko sunkar, mai gaur se uska chehra dekhne laga. Uske chehre par is samay na to jid karke apni baat manwane wale bhav the aur na hi mere sath koi jabardasti karke apni baat manwane wale bhav the.

Uske chehre par yadi is samay koi bhav the to, sirf aagrah karne wale bhav the. Jinhe manna ya na manna usne mere upar chhod diya tha. Uske chehre ke in bhavon ko dekhte hi, meri aankhon me ami ka chehra aa gaya aur mai muskurate huye wapas priya ke pas baith gaya.

Uske chehre par yadi is samay koi bhav the to, sirf aagrah karne wale bhav the. Jinhe manna ya na manna usne mere upar chhod diya tha. Uske chehre ke in bhavon ko dekhte hi, meri aankhon me ami ka chehra aa gaya aur mai muskurate huye wapas priya ke pas baith gaya.

Papa jab kabhi ami nimi ke khane ke liye kuch late to, nimi apni chatoru jeebh se majbur hokar, apni chij ko fauran chat kar jati thi. Lekin ami apni chij ko bacha kar rakhti aur use mere pas lakar kahti ki, “bhaiya mujhe ye khana hai. Magar mai ise pura nahi kha paugi. Kya isme se aadha aap kha lege.”

Mai use wo nimi ko khila dene ko kahta. Magar nimi iske liye pahle se hi taiyar rahti aur use khane se mana kar deti. Mai dono ki is harkat ko samajh jata tha. Lekin fir bhi mai is sab se anjan ban kar, ami ki layi huyi chij ko thoda sa kha leta tha.

Apni chij mujhe khilane ke liye us samay jo bhav ami ke chehre par hote the. Waise hi kuch bhav abhi mujhe priya ke chehre par bhi dikh rahe the. Is samay wo pink salwar suit me bahut pyari lag rahi thi aur beach par chal rahi hawaye, uske balon ko bikher kar, use or bhi jyada pyara bana rahi thi.

Uske is manmohak roop ko dekh kar, maine muskurate huye pav bhaji ka ek nivala uske muh ki taraf bada diya. Mere aisa karte hi priya ke chehre par chamak aa gayi.

Usne fauran hi wo nivala khate huye, pav bhaji ka ek nivala lekar mere muh ki taraf bhi bada diya. Maine bhi uske hath se pav bhaji ka wo nivala kha liya. Wo mujhe apne hath se pav bhaji khila rahi thi aur mai use apne hath se pav bhaji khila raha tha.

Hum dono bas ek dusre ko apne hathon se pav bhaji khila rahe the aur ek dusre ko dekh kar muskura rahe the. Iske alawa is samay na to mere man me aisa waisa kuch chal raha tha aur na hi shayad priya ke man me aisa waisa kuch chal raha tha.

Ye bas ek aisa lamha tha, jo hum dono ko shukun de raha tha aur hum is lamhe ko kisi baat ki parwah kiye bina, puri tarah se ji lena chahte the. Khair koi lamha kitna bhi hasin kyo na ho. Us lamhe ka ant ho hi jata hai.

Aise hi is lamhe ka bhi ant humari pav bhaji ke khatam hone ke sath hi ho gaya. Usne mujhse paise lekar, dukan wale ke paise chukaye aur fir hum dono tahalte huye beach par aa gaye.

Humare pas ab ek dusre ke sath bitane ke liye jyada samay nahi tha. Isliye na to, maine priya se kuch or dekhne ki baat kahi aur na hi priya ne mujhse kahi or chalne ki baat kahi.

Hum dono bas aise hi beach par baat karte huye tahalte rahe aur fir ek jagah par baith kar samundar ka najara dekhne lage. Samundar ka najara dekhte dekhte priya ne apna sar mere kandhe par tika diya aur mere hath ko pakad liya.

Mujhe priya ki ye harkat kuch achi si nahi lagi thi. Lekin mai jate jate uske dil ko thes bhi lagana nahi chahta tha. Isliye mai uski is harkat ko andekha kar, fir se samundar ki taraf dekhne laga.

Magar priya shayad meri is haalat ko samajh gayi thi. Usne mere kandhe se apne sar ko hataya aur fir meri hatheli ko apni hatheli se aise saaf karne lagi. Jaise ki meri hatheli par kuch lag gaya ho.

Mai bade dhyan se uski is harkat ko dekhne laga. Tabhi usne apne chehre par ek feeki si muskan bikherte huye, mujhse kaha.

Priya boli “bahut hi mushkil hota hai na.”

Priya ki ye baat sunte hi, mere kaano me nisha bhabhi ki baat goonj gayi. Kyoki un ne bhi mujhse aisa hi kuch sawal kiya tha. Lekin tab se ab tak haalat bahut badal chuke the aur shayad is sawal ka jabab bhi badal chuka tha.

Mai priya ki is baat ke matlab ko achi tarah se samajh gaya tha. Lekin fir bhi maine is baat se anjan bante huye kaha.

Mai bola “kya mushkil hota hai.”

Meri baat ko sunkar, priya ne apni najar meri hatheli par aise tika li. Jaise ki meri hatheli me kuch dudh rahi ho. Fir meri hatheli ko apne dupatte se saaf karte huye, ek feeki si muskan ke sath kaha.

Priya boli “jis se pyar ho, us se door rahna aur jis se pyar na ho, uske sath rahna.”

Mai is samay priya ke dil ki haalat ko achi tarah se samajh raha tha. Use aisa lag raha tha ki, mai kisi majburi ya kisi hamdardi me is samay uske sath yaha par aaya hu. Lekin uski is baat me jara bhi hakikat nahi thi. Isliye maine ek thandi saans bhar kar, is baat ki sachchai priya ke samne rakhte huye kaha.

Mai bola “nahi, aisa bilkul nahi hai. Jab mai yaha aaya tha, tab mujhe jarur aisa lag raha tha ki, apne pyar se door rahna ek saza hai. Magar yaha aakar maine jana ki, pyar me kabhi kabhi doori hona bhi jaruri hai.”

“Kyoki ye doori hi hai, jo hume hamare pyar ki keemat ka aehsas karati hai. Yadi mai apne pyar se itne din door na raha hota to, shayad mujhe iski keemat ka aehsas kabhi na ho pata aur mai jaane anjane me apni kisi galti se apne pyar ko kho bhi sakta tha.”

“Magar is kuch din ki judai ne mujhe mere pyar ki us keemat ka aehsas dilaya hai. Jise mai sath rah kar shayad kabhi samajh hi nahi sakta tha. Mera manna tha ki, mai use apni jaan se jyada pyar karta hu.”

“Lekin yaha aakar maine jana ki, jaan se jyada pyar karne ka matlab ye hai ki, mai use khud se alag manta hu. Jabki mai jis ladki se pyar karta hu. Wo mujhe apni jaan se jyada pyar nahi karti, balki wo to mujhe hi apni jaan manti hai.”

“Uske sapne, uske apne, uski khushi, uske gam, uska pyar, uska viswas, jo kuch bhi hu, sirf mai hi hu. Isliye uske mukable me mera pyar kuch bhi nahi hai aur ye sab baten maine us se door rah kar hi jaani hai. Mere liye ye doori ek saza nahi, balki ek saugat thi. Jisse maine apne pyar ki kadar karna sikha hai.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ne fir feeki si muskana ke sath kaha.

Priya boli “ye baat to uske liye hai, jis se pyar ho us se door rahna pade. Lekin jis se pyar na ho, uske sath rahne wali baat ka to, tumne koi jabab nahi diya.”

Priya ki is baat ka jabab maine badi hi sanjidgi se dete huye kaha.

Mai bola “tumhara ye sawal hi galat hai. Kyoki jis se pyar na ho, uske sath rahne ya na rahne se koi farak hi nahi padta hai.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ka chehra utar gaya. Shayad use mujhse is tarah ke khule jabab ki ummid nahi thi. Lekin maine apni baat ko aage badate huye kaha.

Mai bola “tumhara sawal ye hona chahiye tha ki, koi tumhe pyar kare aur tumhe us se pyar na ho. Aise me uske sath rahna bahut mushkil ho jata hai na.”

Meri ye baat sunkar priya hairani se meri taraf dekhne lagi. Uska is tarah hairan hona bhi swabhavik tha. Wo jis baat ko ghuma kar puchh rahi thi. Usi baat ko maine sidhe shabdon me uske samne lakar rakh diya tha. Usko is tarah se hairan hote dekh kar, maine apni baat ko aage badate huye kaha.

Mai bola “jo abhi maine kaha hai. Yadi tumhara sawal wahi hai to, mera jabab hai ki, haan, bahut mushkil hota hai. Yadi koi aapko apni jaan se bad kar pyar kare aur aap uske is pyar ke badle me, pyar na de pao to, bahut taklif hoti hai.”

“Fir yadi wo pyar karne wala tumhare jaisa koi masum ho to, ye dard sahan karna aur bhi jyada mushkil ho jata hai. Tab aisa lagta hai, jaise ki seene ke andar koi aag jal rahi ho aur us aag me dil jal raha ho.”

Meri is baat ko sunkar, shayad priya ke dil ko kuch shukun mila tha. Usne pahli baar dil khol kar hanste huye kaha.

Priya boli “mere liye tum apna dil mat jalao. Mujhe tumko hasil karna tha, wo maine kar liya. Ab mujhe kisi baat ka koi gam nahi hai.”

Priya ki is baat ne is baar mujhko hairani me daal diya. Mujhe uski ye baat jara bhi samajh me nahi aayi aur mai hairani bhari najron se uski taraf dekhne laga. Lekin wo meri is hairani ko samajh gayi thi. Isliye usne muskurate huye kaha.

Priya boli “jyada mat socho, isme hairani wali koi baat nahi hai. Tum mere sath ho. Tumhe mere dard se dard hota hai. Tumhe meri fikar rahti hai. Yadi ise pyar nahi kahte hai to, fir mujhe tumse tumhara pyar chahiye bhi nahi hai. Mujhe tumhara bas itna sath hi milta rahe, mere liye ye hi bahut hai.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, mai gaur se uska chehra dekhne laga aur ye samajhne ki koshish karne laga ki, wo ye baat kahi sirf mera dil rakhne ke liye to, nahi kah rahi hai.

Magar uske chehre ki masumiyat dekh kar, mujhe yakin ho gaya ki, wo jo kuch bhi kah rahi hai, apne dil se kah rahi hai. Isliye is samay uske chehre ki muskan me mujhe kahi koi dard najar nahi aa raha tha.

Apne dard ki parwah kiye bina, apne pyar ke dard ki parwah karne ka naam hi to pyar hai aur yahi priya bhi kar rahi thi. Priya ki is baat ko sunkar, mai bahut bhavuk ho gaya tha.

Usne thode se hi shabdon me hi bahut kuch kah diya tha. Magar aaj apne jaane se pahle mere pas bhi us se kahne ke liye bahut kuch tha. Maine uske hath se apna hath chhudaya aur fir uska hath pakad kar sahlate huye kaha.

Mai bola “priya, mai janta hu ki, tum mujhe bahut pyar karti ho. Lekin us raste par chalne ka fayda hi kya, jis raste ki koi manjil hi na ho. Tum ache se janti ho ki, meri manjil koi or hai.”

“Aise me mujhe pyar karke tumhe dard ke siwa kuch nahi milega. Tumhare liye acha ye hi hoga ki, tum mujhe hamesha ke liye bhool jao aur apni jindgi me kisi aise ladke ko aane ka mauka do, jo tumhe itna pyar kare ki, tumhe kabhi bhoole se bhi meri yaad na aaye.”

Itna kah kar, mai priya ka chehra dekhne laga. Meri baat sunkar, wo bhi kuch gambhir dikhne lagi thi aur kuch soch me pad gayi thi. Thodi der bad usne apni khamoshi ko todte huye kaha.

Priya boli “ek baat batao, yadi kisi vajah se tripti tumhe na mil paye to, kya tab aisi haalat me tum mere pyar ko apna loge.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, mera dimag hi ghoom gaya aur maine us par jhallate huye kaha.

Mai bola “tum pagal ho kya hai. Uske milne ya na milne se kya hota hai. Yadi kisi vajah se mai uske pyar ko kho bhi deta hu. Tab bhi mere dil se uska pyar to khatam nahi ho jayega. Wo mujhe mile ya na mile. Lekin uske alawa kisi ke pyar ko apnane ka sawal hi paida nahi hota hai.”

“Wo mujhe mile ya na mile. Magar mai uske alawa kisi ke baare me soch bhi nahi sakta hu. Isliye tum apne dil se ye vaham hamesha ke liye nikal do ki, uske na milne se mai tumhare pyar ko apna sakta hu.”

Us samay mujhe priya ki is nadani bhari baat par bahut gussa aa raha tha. Isliye mujhe jo kuch bhi samajh me aaya, mai priya ko bolta chala gaya. Lekin mere chup hote hi, priya ne apni baat ke liye mujhse maafi mangte huye kaha.

Priya boli “sorry, mere man me tum dono ke pyar ko lekar aisi koi bhi baat nahi hai. Mujhe ye baat bolne ke liye bhagwan maaf kare aur tum dono ke pyar ko kabhi kisi ki bhi najar na lage.”

“Lekin ab ek baar tum khud hi apni kahi baat ko soch kar dekh lo. Ek taraf to tum tripti ko kho dene ke bad bhi, usko bhulne ya kisi or ke pyar ko apnane ke liye taiyar nahi ho.”

“Wahi dusri taraf tum mujhse kahte ho ki, mere pyar ki koi manjil nahi hai. Isliye mai apne pyar ko bhool jau. Kya sirf tumhara pyar hi pyar hai aur mera pyar kuch bhi nahi hai.”

“Aakhir tumhari najron me pyar ka ye dohra map-dand kyo hai. Yadi tum dono ka pyar sacha hai to, jhutha mera pyar bhi nahi hai. Tumhre mere pas hone na hone ka aehsas mujhe dil se mehsus hota hai.”

“Yadi meri aankhen band bhi ho, tab bhi mai bina aankhen khole bata sakti hu ki, tum mere pas aa rahe ho. Kyoki mujhe tumhare aane ki aahat mere kaanon se nahi, balki mere dil se sunayi deti hai.”

“Tumse itna jyada pyar hone ke bad bhi, jab mujhe tumhare kisi aur ladki se pyar hone ki baat ka pata chala to, maine khud hi, apne pyar ko, apne seene me dafan karke rakh diya.”

“Lekin ab yadi tumhe mera tumko yaad rakhna bhi ek bojh lagta hai to, tumhari khushi ke liye mai tumhari yaad ko bhi apne seene me dafan kar dugi. Magar meri ek baat yaad rakhna ki dil par kisi ka koi jor nahi hota. Kahi aisa na ho ki, tumko bhulate bhulate ye dil dhadakna hi bhool jaye.”

Ye baat kahte kahte priya ki aankhen chhalak gayi aur uska dard mehsus karke mera dil bhi tadap utha. Uski kahi gayi, koi bhi baat galat nahi thi. Mai khud bhi kabhi kabhi is baat ko dekh kar, hairan rah jata tha ki, wo chahe meri taraf peeth karke hi kyo na khadi ho.

Magar jab mai uske aas pas pahuchta tha to, wo palat kar mujhe hi dekhne lagti thi. Aisa kyo hota tha, is baat ko mai kabhi samajh nahi saka. Lekin mere sath bhi priya ko lekar, ek aisi hi ajib baat judi huyi thi.

Wo baat ye thi ki, priya chahe apne dard ko, apni hansi ke pichhe chhupane ki laakh koshish kar le. Magar fir bhi mujhe uski muskan ke pichhe chhupi khushi aur gam ka aehsas ho jata tha.

Aisa hi kuch abhi bhi mere sath ho raha tha. Uske bahte huye aansuon ne mujhe meri galti ka aehsas kara diya tha aur maine uske hath ko thamte huye kaha.

Mai bola “sorry, mera irada tumhara dil dukhane ka hargij nahi tha. Mujhe tumhari koi bhi baat bojh nahi lagti. Tum itne din se saaye ki tarah mere sath ho. Lekin mujhe kabhi bhi tumhara sath bojh nahi laga aur na hi maine kabhi tumse pichha chhudane ki koshish ki hai.”

“Aisa maine kisi majburi ya hamdardi me nahi kiya. Balki mujhe tumhare sath rahne se khushi hoti thi. Tum bhale hi apne chehre par jhuthi muskan ka mukhota laga kar, sabse apne dard ko chhupa leti ho.”

“Lekin jaise tumhe mere aane ka aehsas pahle se ho jata hai. Waise hi mujhe bhi tumhari muskan me chhupe dard aur khushi ka aehasa ho jata hai. Tumhe khush dekh kar meri khushi dugni ho jati hai.”

“Lekin tumhe dukhi dekh kar mera gam dugna nahi, balki char guna ho jata hai. Ye sach hai ki, mai bahut jyada bhavuk insan hu. Isliye kisi ke dil me chhupi bhavna ko mehsus karna mere liye koi badi baat nahi hai.”

“Magar us se bhi bada sach ye hai ki, mujhe tumse mile huye, abhi sirf 15 din hi huye hai. Lekin is 15 din ki jaan pahchan me, mai tumhare dil me chhupi bhavnao ko jitna jyada mehsus kar paya hu.”

“Utna jyada mai aaj tak, kisi ke dil me chhupi bhavnao ko mehsus nahi kar paya hu. Mere sath aisa kyo hota hai, ye mai khud bhi nahi janta. Magar mujhe aisa lagta hai ki, shayad pichhle janam me mera tumse koi rishta tha.”

“Jis vajah se tumhe dard me dekh kar, mai bhi tadap uthta hu aur tumhe khush dekh kar, mai bhi khush ho jata hu. Kahi na kahi, tumhari khushi se meri khushi aur tumhare gam se mera gam juda hua hai. Isliye maine tumse kaha tha ki, tum mujhe bhool jao.”

“Kyoki yadi tum khush nahi rahogi to, iska aehsas mujhe bhi khush nahi rahne dega. Ab tum chaho to, in sab baton ko mera pagalpan kah lo ya fir chaho to, ise pyar ke liye mera dohra map-dand kah lo. Lekin maine abhi tumse jo bhi kaha, wo hi mera sach hai aur is par yakin karna ya na karna tumhari marji par hai.”

Apni itni baat kah kar, mai chup ho gaya. Lekin meri ye sab baten sunkar, priya hairani se mujhe dekhti rah gayi. Use shayad ab bhi is baat par yakin nahi aa raha tha ki, mere dil me usko lekar itni sab baten chhupi huyi thi.

“Magar us se bhi bada sach ye hai ki, mujhe tumse mile huye, abhi sirf 15 din hi huye hai. Lekin is 15 din ki jaan pahchan me, mai tumhare dil me chhupi bhavnao ko jitna jyada mehsus kar paya hu.”

“Utna jyada mai aaj tak, kisi ke dil me chhupi bhavnao ko mehsus nahi kar paya hu. Mere sath aisa kyo hota hai, ye mai khud bhi nahi janta. Magar mujhe aisa lagta hai ki, shayad pichhle janam me mera tumse koi rishta tha.”

“Jis vajah se tumhe dard me dekh kar, mai bhi tadap uthta hu aur tumhe khush dekh kar, mai bhi khush ho jata hu. Kahi na kahi, tumhari khushi se meri khushi aur tumhare gam se mera gam juda hua hai. Isliye maine tumse kaha tha ki, tum mujhe bhool jao.”

“Kyoki yadi tum khush nahi rahogi to, iska aehsas mujhe bhi khush nahi rahne dega. Ab tum chaho to, in sab baton ko mera pagalpan kah lo ya fir chaho to, ise pyar ke liye mera dohra map-dand kah lo. Lekin maine abhi tumse jo bhi kaha, wo hi mera sach hai aur is par yakin karna ya na karna tumhari marji par hai.”

Apni itni baat kah kar, mai chup ho gaya. Lekin meri ye sab baten sunkar, priya hairani se mujhe dekhti rah gayi. Use shayad ab bhi is baat par yakin nahi aa raha tha ki, mere dil me usko lekar itni sab baten chhupi huyi thi.

Wo badi hairani bhari najron se mujhe dekh rahi thi. Is samay uski aankhon me aansu bhi jhilmila rahe the aur uske hothon par muskun bhi thirak rahi thi. Uske is aansu aur muskan se bhare chehre ko dekh kar, mujhe us par bahut pyar aa raha tha.

Mera dil kar raha tha ki, mai apne hothon se, uski aankhon me chamakne wale in motiyon ko pi jau. Magar mere andar aisa karne ki himmat nahi thi. Lekin shayad is samay priya ke dil me bhi aisa hi kuch chal raha tha.

Isliye usne meri kisi baat ki parwah kiye bina, mere dono hathon ko, apne hathon me tham liya aur fir baari baari se mere hathon ko chum kar, apni aankhon se laga kar, bahut hi bhavuk hote huye kaha.

Priya boli “mujhe pata tha ki, tumko meri bahut fikar hai. Lekin maine ye sapne me bhi nahi socha tha ki, tumko mere dard ka itna jyada aehsas hai. Tum nahi jante ki, aaj mai kitni khush hu. Aaj yadi is khushi ke badle me, tum meri jaan bhi maang lo to, mere liye ye bhi bahut kam hai.”

Priya ki ye baat sunte hi, maine uske muh par hath rakhte huye kaha.

Mai bola “mai tumhari jaan nahi, balki tumhari jaan ki salamati chahta hu. Mai chahta hu ki, tum hamesha khush raho.”

Meri is baat ke jabab me priya ne mera hath chhoda aur fauran apne chehre se aansuon ko saaf karke, muskurate huye kaha.

Priya boli “tum mujhe hamesha khush dekhna chahte ho to, mai hamesha khush rahugi. Lekin tum bas aaj ke din mujhse bhulne bhulane ki baat mat karo aur mere sath aise hi raho. Fir kal ke din tum mujhse jo kuch bhi bologe, mai khushi khushi tumhari baat maan lugi.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, mujhe thodi hairani huyi ki, usne itni aasani se meri baat kaise maan li. Fir bhi use apni baat mante dekh kar, mujhe khushi huyi aur maine muskurate huye kaha.

Mai bola “thik hai, yadi tumhare khush rahne ki yahi shart hai to, mujhe tumhari ye shart bhi manjur hai.”

Priya boli “nahi, aise nahi, pahle ache se soch lo. Fir bad me koi vada karna.”

Mai bola “haan, maine soch liya hai. Mai vada karta hu, ki mai aaj tumse bhulne bhulane ki koi baat nahi karuga aur tumhare sath aise hi rahuga. Lekin kal mai tumse jo bhi kuch bhi kahuga, tumhe meri wo baat manna padegi.”

Meri is baat par priya ne badi jor se khilkhil kar hanste huye kaha.

Priya boli “ab tumhari baat manne ke liye bacha hi kya hai.”

“Umre Daraz Maang Kar, Laye The Char Din,
Do Aarju Me Kat Gaye, Do Intejar Me.”

Ye kah kar, wo khilkhila kar hasne lagi. Uski is hansi se mujhe itna to samajh me aa gaya tha ki, mujhse kahi kuch galti ho gayi hai. Lekin bahut sochne ke bad bhi, jab mai apni galti ko nahi pakad paya to, maine jhujhlate huye kaha.

Mai bola “ye paglon ki tarah bina baat ki kyo hans rahi ho. Saaf saaf kyo nahi bol deti ki, tumhe khud hi apni shart manjur nahi hai.”

Meri is baat par priya ne apna pet pakad kar hanste huye kaha.

Priya boli “are tum ab bhi kuch nahi samjhe.”

Mai bola “nahi, meri samajh me tumhari koi baat nahi aa rahi hai.”

Ye kahte huye maine apna bura sa muh bana liya. Mera is tarah se muh bana hua dekh kar, priya ne apni hansi par kabu pate huye kaha.

Priya boli “isme samajh me na aane wali kya baat hai. Humare bich abhi do din ki baat huyi hai. Isme se mera aaj ka din hai aur tumhara kal ka din hai. Magar shayad tumhe pata nahi hai ki, aaj kabhi jata nahi hai aur kal kabhi aata nahi hai.”

Priya ki ye baat sunte hi, mujhe uski baat ka matlab samajh me aa gaya aur maine fir se us par jhujhlate huye kaha.

Mai bola “ye galat baat hai, tumne aaj matlab sirf Sunday ke din ki baat kahi thi aur ab tum apni us baat se mukar rahi ho.”

Priya boli “hey jhuth mat bolo, maine sirf aaj ka din kaha tha. Sunday to tum apne man se jode ja rahe ho. Mai nahi, tum apni kahi baat se mukar rahe ho.”

Priya kah to sach hi rahi thi. Lekin jab usne mujhe ye baat kahi thi, tab mai bhi nahi janta tha ki, wo aaj aur kal ka matlab ye nikalne wali hai. Isliye maine bina soche samjhe uski baat maan li thi.

Magar ab jab mujhe uski ye chalbaji samajh me aayi to, mai bhi apni baat par ad gaya aur hum dono me apni apni baat ko sahi sabit karne ki hod chalne lagi. Lekin na to wo apni baat ko galat manne ko taiyar thi aur na hi mai uski baat ko sahi manne ko taiyar tha.

Humari is bahas ka koi natija nikalta na dekh kar, maine hi is baat se pichha chhuda lene me apni bhalayi samjhi. Maine baat ko badalte huye, uski hatheli par blade se bane huye “P” ki taraf ishara karte huye, us se kaha.

Mai bola “tumne ye pagalpan kyo kiya tha.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ka dhyan bhi apni hatheli ki taraf chala gaya aur usne badi hi masumiyat se meri baat ka jabab dete huye kaha.

Priya boli “bhala maine aisa kya kar diya. Bas apne naam ka pahla akshar “P” hi to likha hai.”

Uski ye baat sunkar, mai muskuraye bina na rah saka. Kyoki ek tarah se uski baat sahi bhi thi. Lekin iski hakikat wo bhi ache se janti thi aur mai bhi ache se janta tha. Isliye maine usko ko samjhate huye kaha.

Mai bola “lekin tumhe ye sab karne ki kya jarurat thi. Ye sab karke tumhe sirf dard hi mila hoga.”

Priya boli “mai us samay bahut dukhi thi aur yakin mano ise likhne se mujhe dard nahi, balki mere dil ko thodi rahat mili thi.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, mai bade gaur se uska chehra dekhne laga. Mere is tarah se usko dekhne se priya mujhse najre churane ki koshish karne lagi. Lekin fir kuch uske dimag me aaya to, usne mujhe apni baton me uljhate huye kaha.

Priya boli “mai to samajhti thi ki, tumko iska pata nahi hai. Lekin tum to iske baare me pahle se hi jante the. Meri samajh me ye baat nahi aa rahi hai ki, tumko iska pata kab aur kaise chala tha.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, mai use ghoor kar dekhne laga aur wo mere is tarah se ghurne ka matlab samajhne ki koshish karne lagi. Lekin is pahle ki use mere ghurne ka kuch matlab samajh me aa pata, us se pahle hi maine us par jhutha gussa dikhate huye kaha.

Mai bola “jyada bholi banne ki koshish mat karo. Aisa ho hi nahi sakta ki, nikki ne tumhe is baare me kuch na bataya ho. Yadi aisa hota to, jab maine neha ke samne tumhara hath dikhaya tha. Tumne uske bad hi, mujhse is baat ke baare me puchh liya hota.”

Meri ye baat sunte hi priya khilkhila kar hasne lagi aur is baar uski is hansi me mai bhi uske sath hasne laga. Abhi humare hansi majak ka ye daur chal hi raha tha ki, tabhi priya ki najar pani puri wale par pad gayi aur usne mujhse kaha.

Priya boli “wo dekho, waha pani puri wala khada hai. Chalo waha chal kar pani puri khate hai.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, maine ek najar pani puri wale ki taraf dekha aur fir priya se kaha.

Mai bola “tumko pani puri khana hai to, tum shauk se pani puri kha sakti ho. Lekin mujhe pani puri khana jara bhi pasand nahi hai. Isliye mujhe to tum iske liye maaf hi karo.”

Lekin meri ye baat sunne ke bad bhi, priya mujhse pani puri khane ki jid karne lagi. Tab maine use apni baat samjhate huye kaha.

Mai bola “mai sach kah raha hu yaar. Mai sach me kabhi pani puri nahi khata hu. Tum chaho to, kisi se bhi pata kar sakti ho. Tumko pani puri pasand hai to, tum chal kar pani puri kha lo. Mai tumhare sath chal kar, tumko pani puri khate huye dekhta hu.”

Meri ye baat sunkar, priya ne pahle bura sa muh bana liya. Lekin fir achanak hi use kuch sujha aur usne apni baat ko mere samne rakhte huye kaha.

Priya boli “tumne abhi tak mujhe mere b’day ka gift nahi diya hai. Mujhe mere b’day ka gift chahiye.”

Priya ki is baat par maine muskurate huye kaha.

Mai bola “haan, mujhe pata hai ki, maine tumhare b’day ka gift nahi diya hai. Mai bhi tumhare b’day ka gift dena chahta hu. Bolo tumhe apne b’day ka kya gift chahiye hai.”

Priya boli “mujhe mere b’day ka gift ye hi chahiye ki, tum mere sath pani puri khao.”

Uski is baat ko sunkar, maine na me apna sar hilaya. Lekin fir uth kar khade hote huye, use pani puri khane chalne ka ishara kiya. Mera ishara pate hi wo bhi khushi khushi uth kar khadi ho gayi aur fir hum dono pani puri wale ke pas aa gaye.

Magar meri pareshani ye thi ki, mai kabhi pani puri nahi khata tha. Isliye mujhe sahi se pani puri khana nahi aata tha. Priya ne pani puri wale se badi badi pani puri khilane ko kaha aur wo humko pani puri khilane laga.

Usne mujhe aur priya ko badi badi pani puri khilana suru kar diya. Priya ne to apni pani puri ko apne muh ke andar rakhte hi, use muh me gum kar diya. Lekin jaise hi maine apni badi si pani puri ko muh me rakha, wo pani puri muh me rakhte hi, foot gayi aur mere muh ke sath sath mere t-shirt ko bhi geela kar gayi.

Magar is se bhi jyada kharab haalat mere muh ki thi. Kyoki pani puri ka pani bahut hi teekha tha. Uske pani se mera muh jalne laga aur meri aankhon me aansu aa gaye. Meri haalat dekh kar, priya hasne lagi aur usne kaha.

Priya boli “hey, ye kya kar rahe ho. Pani puri ke pani se apni jibh ko nahlao, apne kapdo ko kyo nahla rahe ho.”

Maine apni aakhon aur muh ko saaf karke, sisyate huye priya se kaha.

Mai bola “mai to pahle hi kah raha tha ki, mai pani puri nahi khata hu. Upar se iska pani itna teekha hai ki, mera muh hi jal gaya.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ne hanste huye pani puri wale se kaha.

Priya boli “bhaiya, iski pani puri me teekha kam karna aur ise jyada badi pani puri mat dena. Warna ye apne baki ke kapdo ko bhi nahla dega.”

Priya ki baat sunkar, pani puri wala bhi hasne laga. Usne mere liye alag se chhoti chhoti pani puri nikali aur fir kam teekha pani me mujhe pani puri khilane laga. Magar mere liye unhe bhi kha pana mushkil ho raha tha.

Jaise taise priya ki jabardasti ki vajah se maine 3 pani puri kha li. Magar iske bad maine pani puri khane se haar maan li. Tab priya ne apni ek pani puri apne hathon se mujhe khila di.

Mai jitni der me sirf 4 pani puri kha paya tha. Utni der me priya ne 8-10 pani puri kha li thi. Wo to mujhe or pani puri khilana chahti thi. Lekin ab maine pani puri khane se puri tarah se haar maan li thi.

Ab mai sirf priya ko pani puri khate dekh raha tha. Priya ne ek do pani puri or khayi aur fir pani puri wale ke paise chuka kar, mujhse kaha.

Priya boli “humara yaha par ghumna aur tumhara aaram karna bahut ho chuka hai. Ab hume yaha se chalna chahiye.”

Priya ki is baat se samajh me aa raha tha ki, wo abhi kahi or bhi jana chahti hai. Isliye maine use is baat se rokte huye kaha.

Mai bola “thik hai, lekin ab mai kahi jaane wala nahi hu. Ab hum yaha se sidhe barkha didi ke ghar hi chalege.”

Priya boli “are nahi, abhi mujhe thodi si shopping karni hai. Abhi 2 baja hai aur humne barkha didi ko 3 baje ka samay diya hai. Itni der me meri shopping ho jayegi.”

Mai priya ko shopping karne se mana karna chahta tha. Lekin fir mere dimag me use b’day gift dene ki baat aayi to, mai bhi shopping ke liye taiyar ho gaya. Maine bike nikali aur fir hum dono pas ke hi ek shopping mall me pahuch gaye.

Lekin waha par pahuchne ke bad, jab maine priya ko tabad tod shopping karte dekha to, mera dimag hi chakra gaya. Meri samajh me hi nahi aa raha tha ki, wo itni shopping kis ke liye kar rahi hai.

Mai to apni saari shopping kal hi puri kar chuka tha aur abhi mujhe sirf priya ke liye hi koi gift kharidna tha. Lekin uski is shopping ko dekh kar, mai wo gift kharidna bhi bhool gaya tha.

Wo shopping karne me magan thi aur mai uski is shopping ko dekhne me magan tha. Achanak hi shopping karte karte, use meri jeb ka khayal aaya aur usne kuch jhijhakte huye kaha.

Priya boli “mujhe lagta hai ki, maine shopping kuch jyada ki kar li hai aur is shopping ke liye tumhare das hajar rupye kam pad jayege.”

Priya ki is harkat par maine muskurate huye kaha.

Mai bola “tumhe meri jeb ka khayal badi jaldi aa gaya. Lekin fikar mat karo, tum jitni chaho, utni shopping kar sakti ho. Mere pas credit card hai.”

Meri ye baat sunkar, priya fir se apni baki ki shopping me busy ho gayi. Is bich maine bhi priya ke liye long skirt top kharid liya. Priya saari shopping jaldi jaldi hi kar rahi thi. Fir bhi hume shopping karte karte 3 baj hi gaya.

Ab kisi bhi samay barkha didi ka call aa sakta tha. Isliye hum bina der kiye ghar ke liye nikal pade. Raste me maine priya se puchha ki, usne itni saari shopping kiske liye ki hai to, usne bataya ki, yaha ke sab logon ke liye ki hai.

Iske bad, wo mujhe ye batane lagi ki, usne kiske liye kya kharida hai. Mai khamoshi se uski ye baten sunne laga. Yaha ke sab logon se mujhe koi na koi gift jarur mila tha.

Lekin mai shikha didi ki shadi me uljhe hone aur uske bad ghar jaane ki jaldbaji me is baat par dhyan hi nahi de paya tha. Isliye ab priya ki is shopping se mujhe bahut khushi mehsus ho rahi thi.

Aise hi baat karte karte hum barkha didi ke ghar ke pas pahuch gaye. Barkha didi ke ghar ke pahle neha ka ghar tha aur mujhe door se hi neha apne ghar ke samne khadi kisi ladke se baat karti najar aa gayi.

Maine ye baat priya ko batayi to, usne bhi aage jhank kar neha ki ghar ki taraf dekha. Fir usne mujhse neha ke pas gaadi na rokne ki baat kah kar, sidhe barkha didi ke ghar chalne ko kaha.

Udhar neha bhi hum logon ko aate huye dekh chuki thi. Isliye jaise hi hum uske pas se gujarne ko huye, usne hume aawaj dekar rok diya. Uski aawaj sunkar, na chahte huye bhi mujhe bike uske pas rokna pad gayi.

Wo is samay usi ladke se khadi hokar, baat kar rahi thi. Jise nikki ne mehndi ke din mujhse bhagane ko kaha tha. Mere unke pas pahuch kar, bike rokte hi neha ne mujhse kaha.

Neha boli “acha hua, tum dikh gaye. Humare yaha shikha didi ki shadi ka ek gift rakha hai. Tum aisa karo, use barkha ko de dena.”

Neha ki is baat par maine bura sa muh banate huye kaha.

Mai bola “tum khud hi le jakar kyo nahi de deti. Ye dekho, meri bike me pahle se hi kitna bojh latka hua hai.”

Ye kahte huye maine neha ko priya ke hath me thame bag dikhaye. Lekin iske sath hi meri najar priya par padi to, wo bahut pareshan si dikh rahi thi. Mujhe samajhte der nahi lagi ki, uski paresahni ki vajah ho na ho, wo hi ladka hai.

Idhar mai priya ke baare me soch raha tha. Udhar neha ne meri baat sunkar, mujhe fatkarte huye kaha.

Neha boli “mera kaam nahi karna hai to, saaf mana kar do. Is tarah bekar me bahane banane ki jarurat nahi hai.”

Mere dimag me is wakt kuch or hi chal raha tha. Isliye neha ki ye baat sunte hi, maine bike band ki aur priya se niche utarne ko kaha. Priya ke utarte hi, mai bhi bike se utra aur bike khadi karke neha ke sath gift lene andar jaane laga.

Magar andar jate jate, mai aadhi door se hi palat kar wapas priya ke pas aa gaya. Mai priya ke pas wapas aaya to, maine dekha ki, wo ladka priya ka hath pakda hai aur priya us se apna hath chhudane ki koshish kar rahi hai.

Mujhe andar se wapas bahar lautte dekh kar, neha bhi mere pichhe pichhe bhagti huyi aa gayi thi. Lekin tab tak mai us ladke ke samne pahuch chuka tha. Usne mujhe dekhte hi, priya ka hath chhod diya tha.

Magar tab tak uske liye bahut der ho chuki thi. Mere sidhe hath ka ek mukka uske jabde par pad chuka tha. Isse pahle ki, wo mere is waar se sambhal pata, maine ulte hath se uska gireban pakad kar, ek or jabardasd mukka uske jabde par de maara.

Mere is achanak kiye hamle se wo ladka hi nahi, balki priya aur neha bhi hadbada kar rah gayi thi. Kisi ko bhi samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, achanak ye sab kya ho gaya.

Jab tak unko ye baat samajh me aa pati, tab tak wo ladka jamin ki dhool chat chuka tha. Mai us ladke par laat jooton ki barsat kiye ja raha tha aur us se kahta ja raha tha.

Mai bola “iska hath pakadne ki, teri himmat kaise huyi. Aaj mai teri ek ek haddi tod kar rakh duga.”

Wo ladka mujhse kisi bhi tarah se kamjor nahi tha. Lekin is samay mere andar itna gussa bhara hua tha ki, wo mere samne tik hi nahi pa raha tha. Idhar priya ne jab ye najara dekha to, uske hath me thame bag chhut kar jamin par gir gaye aur wo aakar mujhe usko marne se rokne lagi.

Ye hi haal neha ka bhi tha. Wo bhi mujhe rokne ki koshish kar rahi thi. Magar wo dono mil kar bhi mujhe rok nahi pa rahi thi. Udhar bhid jama ho gayi thi aur ab waha jama logon ne aakar mujhe pakad liya tha aur us ladke ko utha kar khada kar diya tha.

Mai abhi bhi sabki pakad se chhutne ki koshish kar raha tha aur ab wo ladka bhi khud ko logon se chhuda kar meri taraf jhapatne ki koshish kar raha tha. Tabhi kahi se barkha didi bhag kar aa gayi.

Wo mujhe shant karate huye puchhne lagi ki, kya hua hai. To maine gusse me khud ko chhudane ki koshish karte huye kaha.

Mai bola “ye saala, priya ka hath pakad raha tha. Chhodo mujhe, aaj mujhe iska hath hi ukhad ke rakh dena hai.”

Udhar wo ladka bhi kam gusse me nahi tha. Usne bhi mujh par bhadakte huye kaha.

Ladka bola “tu kya mera hath todega. Aaj to mai tera sar katuga. Tu janta nahi, tune kis se panga le liya hai.”

Abhi wo ladka itna hi bol paya tha ki, tabhi uske chehre par ek or jordar ghusa pada. Ye ghusa marne wala mehul tha. Usne us ladke ka gireban pakda aur use logon se chhudate huye, mere samne lakar khada karte huye kaha.

Mehul bola “tu abhi iska sar katne ki baat kar raha tha na. Tu yadi ek bap ki aulad hai to, tu sirf isko hath laga kar hi dikha de aur yadi mai apne bap ki aulad hua to, tere hath lagate hi, tujhe khade khade hi, is jamin ke andar gaad kar rakh duga.”

Ye kahte huye mehul ne us ladke ka gireban chhodte huye, use meri taraf dhakel diya. Magar mehul ki gusse me laal aankhen aur uska deel daul dekh kar, us ladke ki, mujhe hath lagane ki himmat hi na huyi.

Wo apne kapde sahi karte huye bhid se nikal kar bahar bhag gaya. Lekin humse thodi door jate hi, usne palat kar, humari taraf dekhte huye kaha.

Ladka bola “tum log nahi jante, tum logon ne apni maut ko dawat di hai. Yadi maine tum logon ki yaha lashen na bichhwa di to, mai bhi khalid ka bhai, salim nahi.”

Us ladke ki ye dhamki sunte hi, waha jama log, waha se aise gayab hone lage. Jaise wo log waha the hi nahi. Lekin mehul ne uski is dhamki ki parwah na karte huye us se kaha.

Mehul bola “ja be, tujhe jisko lekar, aana hai, le aa. Abhi ek ghante hum yahi hai. Yadi is ek ghante me tu yaha kisi ko lekar aaya to, uska bhi wo hi haal hoga, jo tera hua hai.”

Mehul ki ye baat sunkar, wo ladka bhi mehul ko, yaha se na bhagne ki baat kah kar chala gaya. Lekin us ladke ki dhamki ki vajah se humare pas khade saare log bhi nau do gyarah ho chuke the.

Ab hum logon ke siwa waha koi nahi bacha tha. Lekin us ladke ki dhamki se, mujhe aur mehul ko chhod karm baki sab ke chehre ki hawaiyan udh gayi thi. Tabhi raj aur riya bhi wahi aa gaye. Wo puchhne lage ki, yaha kya hua hai to, neha ne unki is baat ka jabab dete huye kaha.

Neha boli “hua nahi hai, lekin yadi in dono ko jaldi yaha se alag nahi kiya gaya to, yaha bahut jaldi khoon kharaba hone wala hai. In dono ne khalid ke bhai salim ko bahut buri tarah se maara hai.”

Neha ki ye baat sunte hi, raj aur riya ke bhi pasine chhut gaye. Unke chehre ke udhe huye rang ko dekh kar, ab meri aur mehul ki samajh me bhi, ye baat aa chuki thi ki, humne kisi bahut bade gunde ke bhai se panga le liya hai aur iska natija hume bahut mahga padne wala hai.

Mehul bola “ja be, tujhe jisko lekar, aana hai, le aa. Abhi ek ghante hum yahi hai. Yadi is ek ghante me tu yaha kisi ko lekar aaya to, uska bhi wo hi haal hoga, jo tera hua hai.”

Mehul ki ye baat sunkar, wo ladka bhi mehul ko, yaha se na bhagne ki baat kah kar chala gaya. Lekin us ladke ki dhamki ki vajah se humare pas khade saare log bhi nau do gyarah ho chuke the.

Ab hum logon ke siwa waha koi nahi bacha tha. Lekin us ladke ki dhamki se, mujhe aur mehul ko chhod karm baki sab ke chehre ki hawaiyan udh gayi thi. Tabhi raj aur riya bhi wahi aa gaye. Wo puchhne lage ki, yaha kya hua hai to, neha ne unki is baat ka jabab dete huye kaha.

Neha boli “hua nahi hai, lekin yadi in dono ko jaldi yaha se alag nahi kiya gaya to, yaha bahut jaldi khoon kharaba hone wala hai. In dono ne khalid ke bhai salim ko bahut buri tarah se maara hai.”

Neha ki ye baat sunte hi, raj aur riya ke bhi pasine chhut gaye. Unke chehre ke udhe huye rang ko dekh kar, ab meri aur mehul ki samajh me bhi, ye baat aa chuki thi ki, humne kisi bahut bade gunde ke bhai se panga le liya hai aur iska natija hume bahut mahga padne wala hai.

Idhar neha apni baat kah kar chup huyi thi ki, udhar priya jakar raj se lipat kar rone lagi. Raj ko uske rone ki vajah samajh me nahi aa rahi thi. Lekin jaise hi neha ne use priya ke rone ki vajah batayi to, raj ka bhi khoon khaul utha aur usne gusse me bhadakte huye kaha.

Raj bola “tum logon, ne us kutte ko thik maara hai. Use to mai apne tarike sabak sikhauga. Lekin tum log usko kam mat samjho. Wo kamina kisi mamuli gunde ka nahi, balki yaha ke Don khalid ka bhai hai. Isliye tum logon ka yaha se jaldi nikal jana hi sahi hoga. Warna hum sab musibat me fas sakte hai.”

Raj is samay dimag se kaam le raha tha. Lekin mera dimag is samay chhutti par gaya hua tha. Isliye maine uski baat ko katte huye kaha.

Mai bola “nahi, us se aur uske bhai se mera jo ukhadte bane, wo ukhad le. Lekin mai aise peeth dikha kar nahi ja sakta.”

Meri baat sunkar, priya ne mujhe samjhane ki koshish karte huye kaha.

Priya boli “bhaiya sahi kah rahe hai. Tumhara yaha rukna khatre se khali nahi hai. Fir tumhari flight ka samay bhi ho raha hai. Acha yahi hoga ki, tum in sab baton ko bhool kar, sidhe airport nikal jao.”

Priya ki is baat ko sunkar, mujhe gussa aa gaya aur maine us par chillate huye kaha.

Mai bola “tum to apna muh band hi rakho. Yadi tumne ye baat hum logon se chhupayi nahi hoti to, aaj uski itni himmat nahi hoti. Ab mujhe kya karna hai aur kya nahi karna hai. Mai kam se kam tumse to sunna nahi chahta.”

Maine apni ye baat itni buri tarah se ki thi ki, meri ye baat sunte hi priya ka muh chhota sa ho gaya. Magar meri is baat par barkha ne mujh par bhadakte huye kaha.

Barkha boli “tumhe priya par is tarah bhadakne ki jarurat nahi hai. Usne koi galat baat nahi kahi hai aur ab tumko bhi kuch karne ki jarurat nahi hai. Mai janti hu ki, mujhe is mamle ko kaise niptana hai. Isliye ab tum bina koi bahas kiye sidhe ghar ke andar chalo.”

Ye kahte huye barkha ne mera hath pakda aur mujhe khichte huye ghar lane lagi. Humare pichhe pichhe baki sab bhi aane lage. Ghar me aate hi, barkha ne sabse pahle darwaja band kiya aur uske bad ajay ko call laga kar saari baten batayi.

Ajay ne saari baten sunne ke bad, barkha se kaha ki, ghabrao mat, kisi ko kuch nahi hoga. Bas mere aane tak tum kisi ko bahar nahi nikalne dena. Ajay se baat karne ke bad, barkha ne durjan ko bhi call karke saari baten batayi.

Durjan ne bhi us se yahi kaha ki, wo abhi aa raha hai. Tab tak kisi ko bahar nahi nikalne dena. Durjan se baat ho jaane ke bad, hum sab gahri soch me pad gaye. Aane wale pal ki kalpna kar kar ke, sabhi ghabra rahe the.

Tabhi kisi ne darwaja khatkhataya, barkha ne jakar dekha to, wo durjan tha. Barkha ne darwaja khola aur use saari baten ek baar fir batane lagi. Jise sun ne ke bad durjan ne use samjhate huye kaha.

Durjan bola “dekho, khalid mujhe ache se janta hai. Lekin is samay khalid ka samna karne ki himmat kisi me nahi hai. Fir bhi mai apni taraf se use samjhane ki koshish karta hu. Wo tumhe ek do thappad maare to, chup chap sah lena. Is baat ko yahi par khatam karne ka bas ye hi ek rasta hai.”

Mujhe durjan ki ye baat pasand nahi aayi thi. Lekin sabki bhalai ke liye mai ye bhi karne ko taiyar ho gaya. Tabhi bahar gaadiyon ka shor sunayi diya. Hum ne bahar dekha to, 3-4 gadiyon se ladke utar rahe the.

Un sabke hathon me hathiyar bhi the. Fir ek gaadi me se pathani suit pahne ek lamba chauda ladka utara. Lekin durjan ke mukable me uska sharir kuch bhi nahi tha. Use dekhte hi durjan ne kaha.

Durjan bola “ye hi khalid hai. Tum log yahi ruko, mai us se baat karke aata hu.”

Udhar khalid ke gaadi se utarte hi salim bhi gaadi se utar kar bahar aa gaya. Usne humare ghar ki taraf ishara kiya aur khalid apne ladko ke sath humare ghar ki taraf badne laga.

Isi bich durjan bhi ghar ka darwaja khol kar bahar nikal gaya. Abhi durjan main gate tak pahuch bhi nahi paya tha ki, tabhi main gate par sarsarati huyi aru ki BMW car aakar ruki. Aru ki car ko dekhte hi barkha didi ne apna sar peette huye kaha.

Barkha boli “ohh shit, mai ye kaise bhool gayi ki, aru log yaha ke liye nikal chuki hai aur wo kabhi bhi yaha aa sakti hai.”

Lekin unki ye baat sunte hi, mai bhi kisi anhoni se kaanp gaya. Ab mere liye khud ko andar rok pana mushkil ho gaya tha aur mai bahar jaane ke liye badh gaya. Lekin tabhi barkha didi ne mera hath pakadte huye kaha.

Barkha boli “ye kya kar rahe ho. Tum se kaha na ki, tum bahar nahi jaoge.”

Mai bola “bahno ki hifajat ke liye bhai hote hai. Unhe kisi musibat me dalne ke liye nahi hote. Aaj yadi meri vajah se unhe koi aanch aa gayi to, mai apne aapko jindagi bhar maaf nahi kar pauga.”

Ye kahte huye maine barkha didi ke hath ko jhataka aur bahar ki taraf daud laga di. Mere pichhe pichhe mehul, raj aur baki log bhi aane lage. Wahi mujhe darwaje se bahar nikalte dekh kar, salim ki najar mujh par pad gayi.

Wo meri taraf ishara karte huye khalid se kuch kah raha tha aur wo humare ghar ki taraf bade chale aa rahe the. Tabhi ghar ke samne khadi car ka darwaja khol kar seeru didi bahar aayi.

Unhe dekhte hi khalid ke humari taraf badte kadam ruk gaye aur usne apne ladko ko bhi rukne ka ishara kiya. Seeru didi ka dhyan khalid ki taraf nahi tha. Wo car me baithi aru logon se kuch baat kar rahi thi.

Iske bad, ek ek karke car se selu, aru, nikki aur hetal bahar nikli. Tab tak mai bhi unke pas pahuch chuka tha. Maine uske pas pahuchte hi seeru didi se kaha.

Mai bola “aap log jaldi se ghar ke andar chaliye. Aap logon ka yaha rukna thik nahi hai.”

Meri ye baat sunkar, seeru didi ne apni aadat ke anusar mera majak udate huye kaha.

Seerat boli “kyo tumhe hum logon ke andar jaane ki itni jaldi kya hai. Kahi humari car chori karne ka irada to nahi hai.”

Seeru didi ki ye baat sunte hi mera dimag ghoom gaya. Mujhe kabhi unke kisi majak ka bura nahi laga tha. Lekin is samay ke mahol me mujhe unka ye majak karna jara bhi pasand nahi aaya aur maine pahli baar un par gusse me chillate huye kaha.

Mai bola “apni bekar ki bakwas band kijiye. Aapse maine kaha na ki, aap log fauran andar jaiye.”

Mujhe is tarah gusse karte dekh kar, seeru didi bhi hairan rah gayi. Unhe mera ye bartaw kuch ajib laga aur wo yaha waha dekhne lagi. Tabhi unki najar khalid par padi aur wo mujhe andekha karke uski taraf badne lagi.

Unhe khalid ki taraf badte dekh kar, mai or bhi jyada ghabra gaya. Maine unka hath pakad kar, unko rokte huye kaha.

Mai bola “didi, aap udhar mat jaiye, wo yaha mujhe marne hi aaya hai. Aap sab log plz andar chali jaiye.”

Meri baat sunte hi seeru didi ne mujhe hairani se dekha aur fir mera hath pakad kar khichte huye, khalid ke pas le aayi. Unki is harkat ne to, meri jaan hi nikal kar rakh di. Mujhe apni koi parwah nahi thi. Mujhe parwah thi to, sirf unki thi.

Lekin mere pas ab karne ko kuch nahi bacha tha. Mai khalid ke samne khada tha. Magar usne mujhe dekha tak nahi. Uski najar sirf seeru didi par tiki huyi thi aur seeru didi ke uske pas pahucte hi, usne seeru didi se kaha.

Khalid bola “chhutki tu yaha kya kar rahi hai.”

Khalid ki baat sunkar, seeru didi ne bura sa muh banate huye kaha.

Seerat boli “bhai jaan, mai chhutki nahi hu. Mere bad do or bhi chhoti hai.”

Seeru didi ki is baat par khalid ne pahli baar hanste huye kaha.

Khalid bola “mere liye to, tu hi chhutki hai. Ab ye bata ki, tu yaha kya kar rahi hai.”

Khalid ki baat sunkar, seeru didi ne shikha didi ke ghar ki taraf ishara karte huye kaha.

Seerat boli “are ye bhaiya ka sasural hai. Hum sab yahi par aaye hai.”

Seeru didi ki ye baat sunte hi, khalid ne hairani se kaha.

Khalid bola “kya ye aman ka sasural hai. Lekin wo to…”

Abhi khalid apni baat puri bhi nahi kar paya tha ki, seeru didi ne uski baat ko bich me hi katte huye kaha.

Seerat boli “are nahi, ye to ajay bhaiya ka sasural hai. Unka sasural to wahi hai, jaha hona chahiye tha.”

Ye kah kar seeru didi khilkhilane lagi. Unke sath sath khalid bhi hans pada aur fir usne hanste huye seeru didi se kaha.

Khalid bola “dono kamino ne shadi kar li aur mujhe bataya tak nahi. Aane do unko, yahi tapka daluga.”

Ye kahte huye, khalid ne revolver nikal li. Uske hath me revolver dekhte hi, seeru didi gusse me uski taraf dekhne lagi. Usne seeru didi ko gusse me dekha to, fauran revolver jeb me rakh kar, apne kaan par hath rakhte huye kaha.

Khalid bola “sorry meri maa, mai bhool gaya tha ki, tujhe ye sab pasand nahi hai.”

Khalid ka ye roop dekh, kar seeru didi ke chehre par fir muskurahat aa gayi aur un ne khalid se kaha.

Seerat boli “wo sab to thik hai. Lekin aap yaha kya kar rahe hai.”

Seeru didi ki ye baat sunkar, khalid ne baat badalte huye kaha.

Khalid bola “mai yaha kisi kaam se aaya tha. Lekin tujhe dekh kar ruk gaya.”

Abhi khalid ki baat puri bhi nahi ho payi thi ki, tabhi hum se kuch doori par aman ki car aakar ruki. Use dekhte hi khalid ne seeru se kaha.

Khalid bola “lo ye dono bhi aa gaye. Ab tu hi mujhe inse bacha, warna ye dono shadi me shamil na hone ki baat ko lekar mujhe kachcha chaba jayege.”

Khalid ki baat sunte hi, seeru didi ne hairani se kaha.

Seerat boli “are abhi to aap kah rahe the ki, in ne aapko shadi ka bataya hi nahi hai. Fir ye aapko kyo kuch kahege.”

Khalid bola “mujhe shadi ka pata tha. Lekin mujhe achanak dubai jana pad gaya aur mai nahi aa paya. Mai to bas tujhe mamu bana raha tha. Mujhe kya pata tha ki, ye dono bhi yaha aa dhamkege.”

Khalid ki ye baat sunte hi, seeru didi ne aankh dikhate huye kaha.

Seerat boli “abhi aapne mujhe mamu banaya na. Ab aap dekho mai aapka mamu kaise banati hu.”

Ye bol kar, seeru didi aman aur ajay ki taraf dekhne lagi. Aman aur ajay car se utarte hi teji se humari taraf chale aa rahe the. Unke humare pas pahuchte hi, seeru didi ne unse kaha.

Seerat boli “bhaiya, khalid bhai jaan abhi aap dono ke baare me pata nahi kya kya bole ja rahe the. Ye kah rahe the ki, mai is liye tere bhaiyon ki shadi me nahi aaya, kyoki tere dono bhai jeb-katre hai.”

“Ek apne karkhane me raddi kapde bana kar logon ki jeb katarta hai to, dusra marijon ko hospital me achi shakal ke sapne dikha kar uski jeb kaat leta hai. Mai to ek Don hu aur bhala ek don ka jebkatron se kya mukabla hai.”

Seeru didi ki ye baat sunte hi khalid ne unhe khisyate huye dekha aur wo pichhe hatne ko hua. Magar tab tak aman ne aakar use pakad liya aur ajay ne uske pet me jordar mukkon ki barsat kar di. Mukke ki maar khate hi, khalid ne apni safayi dete huye kaha.

Khalid bola “abe tum dono, kis ki baton me aa rahe ho. Kya tum dono ko iski aag laga kar, tamasha dekhne ki aadat ka pata nahi hai. Maine bas is se jara sa majak kiya tha. Ye mujhse usi ka badla nikal rahi hai.”

Khalid ki ye baat sunte hi, dono ko uski baat ka yakin ho gaya aur un ne usko chhod diya. Khalid apne kapde sahi karne laga. Tabhi ajay ne us se kaha.

Ajay bola “ye mai kya sun raha hu. Tu yaha kiska game bajane aaya tha.”

Ajay ki baat sunkar, khalid ne thoda sharminda sa hote huye kaha.

Khalid bola “yaar, mujhe kuch bhi nahi pata. Maine salim ko khoon se sana dekha to, mera dimag sarak gaya aur mai us ladke ko sabak sikhane yaha aa gaya. Mujhe jara bhi nahi pata tha ki, ye mujhe kiske ghar lekar ja raha hai.”

Khalid ki baat sunkar, ajay ne barkha aur aru logon ko pas aane ka ishara kiya. Iske bad, usne salim ko apne pas bula kar, uske kandhe par hath rakh kar, us se kaha.

Ajay bola “mai tumhara kaun hu.”

Salim ne sar jhuka kar ajay ki baat ka jabab dete huye kaha.

Salim bola “ji, aap mere bhai jaan hai.”

Iske bad ajay ne seeru didi logon ki taraf ishara karte huye kaha.

Ajay bola “in sabko pehchante ho, ye kaun hai.”

Salim bola “ji nahi bhai jaan, mai bas seeru baji ko janta hu.”

Salim ki is baat ke jabab me ajay ne use selu, aru, hetal aur nikki ka parichay karwate huye kaha.

Ajay bola “seeru ki tarah ye bhi meri bahan hai aur jis ladki ko tumne pareshan kiya tha, wo nikki ki sabse khas saheli hai aur uske liye bahan ki tarah hi hai.”

Ajay ki is baat par salim ne sharminada hote huye kaha.

Salim bola “maine sirf nikki baji ko dekha tha. Lekin khuda kasam mujhe nahi pata tha ki, wo meri baji hai, warna mai aisi harkat kabhi nahi karta.”

Salim ki is baat ko sunkar, ajay ne mujhe apne pas bulaya aur fir salim ko samjhate huye kaha.

Ajay bola “koi baat nahi, anjane me sabse galti ho jati hai. Ab is ladke se bhi mil lo. Ye tumhari bhabhi ka bhai hai. Ab yadi tumhare man me iske liye koi gussa ho to, use humare samne hi nikal lo.”

Salim bola “nahi bhai jaan, mere man me ab kisi baat ko lekar koi mail nahi hai. Mai apni galti ke liye sharminda hu.”

Salim ki baat sunne ke bad, ajay ne meri taraf dekhte huye kaha.

Ajay bola “salim mere chhote bhai ki tarah hai. Yadi tumhare man me iske liye koi gussa ho to, tum bhi abhi apna gussa nikal sakte ho.”

Ajay ki baat sunkar, maine bhi apna sar na me hila diya. Jiske bad ajay ne hum dono ko gale milne ko kaha to, hum aapas me gale mile. Iske bad salim ne khud se hi aage bad kar, priya se bhi mafi mang li.

Tabhi hume ek car aur aate dikhi. Sab car ki taraf dekhne lage. Car ke rukte hi, car me se nisha bhabhi aur shikha didi utri. Jinhe dekhte hi ajay ne khalid ko shikha didi ka parichay diya. Jise sunte hi khalid ne kaha.

Khalid bola “aaj to lagta hai, meri shamat hi aane wali hai. Ab dono bhabhi jaan bhi yahi par aa rahi hai.”

Mujhe khalid ki ye baat kuch ajib si lagi. Kyoki ajay ne khalid ko sirf shikha didi ka parichay diya tha. Magar khalid ki do bhabhi wali baat se ye samajh me aa raha tha ki, wo shayad nisha bhabhi pahle se janta tha.

Nisha bhabhi to, muskurate huye humari taraf aa rahi thi. Lekin shikha didi ke chehre par kuch pareshani jhalak rahi thi. Unke man me shayad mujhe lekar koi dar samaya hua tha. Wo bahut ghabrayi huyi si lag rahi thi aur un ne humare pas aate hi khalid ke samne hath jodte huye kaha.

Shikha didi boli “bhai jaan, mera chhota bhai abhi bachcha hi hai. Aap iske liye apne man me koi mail mat rakhiyega. Isne anjane me aapke bhai par hath utha diya tha. Iski galti ke liye mai aapse maafi mangti hu.”

Shikha didi ka apne liye itna pyar dekh kar, meri aankhen chhal chhala gayi. Wahi khalid ne unko apne samne hath jode dekha to, fauran unke pas aate huye kaha.

Khalid bola “bhabhi jaan, aap mujhse maafi maang kar, mere gunahon ka bojh mat badaiye. Mai bura hi sahi lekin in dono ka jigri hu.”

Abhi khalid ki ye baat puri ho pati ki, tabhi hum sabko kisi ki aawaj ne chauka diya.

Aawaj “acha beta, teen se ab do ho gaye. Lagta tera yahi par encounter karna padega.”

Ye aawaj sunte hi, hum sabne palat kar dekha to, samne S.P ki vardi me ek lamba sa aadmi khada tha. Ye S.P. koi aur nahi, ajay ka surat wala dost abhay tha. Use dekhte hi aman, ajay aur nisha ki hansi chhut gayi. Lekin khalid ne bura sa muh banate huye kaha.

Khalid bola “sale tu mera encounter bad me karega, us se pahle mai tere naam ki supadi nikal duga.”

Ye kahte huye khalid ne use gale se laga liya. Police aur mujrim ka aisa dostana mai pahli baar dekh raha tha. Is sab me mai durjan ko to bhool hi gaya tha. Wo bhi hairani se is sab najare ko dekh raha tha.

Jab usne sab kuch thik hote dekha to, wo shikha didi ko jata kar waha se chala gaya. Khalid ne bhi apne ladko ko salim ke sath wapas bhej diya. Un logon ke jaane ke bad, shikha didi ne sab ko apne ghar chalne ko kaha.

Jiske bad sab shikha didi ke ghar aa gaye. Shikha didi ke ghar pahuchte hi ajay ne time dekha to, ab 5 baj gaye the. Ye dekhte hi ajay ne mujhse kaha.

Ajay bola “tumhari aaj ki flight ka samay to nikal chuka hai. Ab to tumhe kal ki hi flight mil sakegi.”

Mai bola “koi baat nahi. Hum log kal chale jayege.”

Ajay bola “thik hai, mai kal ki ticket karwa deta hu. Lekin tum apne ghar me bata do ki, tum log aaj nahi aa pa rahe ho. Warna wo log bekar me pareshan hote rahege.”

Ajay ki ye baat sunte hi, mehul ne us se kaha.

Mehul bola “maine ye baat ghar me bata di hai ki, papa ki ek report na mil pane ki vajah se hum logon ko yaha aaj or rukna pad raha hai.”

Mehul ki ye baat sunte hi, ajay mehul ke dimag ki tarif karne laga. Fir chay pani karne ke bad, bahut der tak baton ka daur chalta raha. Fir 7 baje ke bad, ek ek karke sab wapas jaane lage.

Pahle abhay aur uske bad khalid gaya. Fir aman, nisha bhabhi, ajay aur shikha didi bhi chale gaye. Unke jaane ke hi kuch der bad seeru didi log bhi chali gayi. Unke bad, riya, raj aur mehul bhi ghar laut gaye.

Maine din ka khana nahi khaya tha aur raat ke khane ka samay ho raha tha. Isliye maine raj logon ke sath jaane se mana kar diya tha. Mere sath sath priya bhi yahi ruk gayi thi.

Lekin mere us par chilla dene ki vajah se, wo mujhse kuch naraj thi aur mujhse baat nahi kar rahi thi. Uski ye narajgi galat nahi thi. Magar abhi mere liye priya ki narajgi door karne se jyada jaruri kaam, keerti ko aaj apne na aa pane ki vajah ko samjhana tha.

Isliye mai priya ko barkha ke pas chhod kar, upar aakar keerti ko call lagane laga. Lekin keerti ne mera call uthate hi, mujh par bhadakna suru kar diya. Use yaha ki saari baton ka nitika se pahle hi pata chal chuka tha.

Wo aaj mere wapas na aane ki vajah se roye ja rahi thi aur mujhe hajaron jali kati baten sunati ja rahi thi. Mai use apni baat samjhana chahta tha. Lekin wo meri koi baat sunne ko taiyar hi nahi thi.

Maine us par, meri baat na sunne ko lekar thoda sa gussa kar diya to, wo mujh par or bhi jyada bhadak gayi. Usne mujhe ulta sidha bakte huye, mera call kaat diya. Maine use wapas call lagaya to, uske dono mobile band ho chuke the.

Maine uske dono band mobile par ek ek Sms bhej diya. Taki jaise hi wo apne mobile chalu kare to, mujhe iska pata chal jaye. Itna karne ke bad, mai wahi bebas sa hokar baith gaya aur keerti ko samjhane ke baare me sochne laga.

Tabhi priya upar aa gayi. Priya ko dekh kar, maine socha ki jab tak keerti ke mobile chalu nahi ho jate, tab tak kyo na, priya ki narajgi ko hi door kar liya jaye. Ye soch kar, mai priya se baat karne ki koshish karne laga.

Lekin priya ne meri baat ko sun kar bhi ansuna kar diya aur yaha waha kuch dudne lagi. Fir bina kuch liye hi wapas niche chali gayi. Uski is harkat se, mujhe itna to samajh me aa gaya tha ki, wo yaha kuch dudne nahi, balki ye dekhne aayi thi ki, mai yaha akela baitha kya kar raha hu.

Abhi priya niche gayi hi thi ki, tabhi mere mobile par keerti ko bheje gaye Sms ki delivery report aa gayi. Ye dekhte hi, maine fauran keerti ko call laga diya. Uske dono mobile chalu ho chuke the.

Lekin mere call lagate hi, usne fir se apne mobile band kar diye. Maine fir se keerti ke dono mobile par ek ek Sms bheja aur uske mobile chalu karne ka intejar karne laga.

Kuch der tak intejar karne ke bad, keerti ke mobile to chalu nahi huye, lekin priya jarur apne hath me pani ki bottle liye upar aa gayi. Usne ek najar mujhe dekha aur fir pani ki bottle mere pas rakhne lagi.

Maine us se kaha ki, mere pas pani ki bottle pahle se hi hai. Magar usne meri baat ko fir se ansuna karte huye, pani ki bottle mere pas rakhi aur wapas niche chali gayi.

Uske jaane ke kuch der bad, fir keerti ke mobile chalu huye. Lekin mere call lagate hi usne fir se apne mobile band kar diye. Keerti aur priya ki is harkat ko dekh kar mai apna sar peete bina na rah paya.

Ek taraf to dono hi mujhse baat karna chah rahi thi. Dusri taraf dono hi mujhe andekha karti ja rahi thi. Khalid ko lekar mai jitna pareshan nahi tha. Us se jyada ab ye dono mujhe pareshan kar rahi thi.

Kuch ghante pahle mai jaha priya ke sath hansi majak karte huye, keerti ke pas pahuchne ki taiyari me laga tha. Wahi ab mai un dono ki hi narajgi jhelne par majbur tha aur unko manane ki koshish me laga hua tha. Aaj ki subah mere liye jitni jyada ujale bhari thi. Ab raat mujhe utni hi jyada kaali hoti najar aa rahi thi.

Kuch der tak intejar karne ke bad, keerti ke mobile to chalu nahi huye, lekin priya jarur apne hath me pani ki bottle liye upar aa gayi. Usne ek najar mujhe dekha aur fir pani ki bottle mere pas rakhne lagi.

Maine us se kaha ki, mere pas pani ki bottle pahle se hi hai. Magar usne meri baat ko fir se ansuna karte huye, pani ki bottle mere pas rakhi aur wapas niche chali gayi.

Uske jaane ke kuch der bad, fir keerti ke mobile chalu huye. Lekin mere call lagate hi usne fir se apne mobile band kar diye. Keerti aur priya ki is harkat ko dekh kar mai apna sar peete bina na rah paya.

Ek taraf to dono hi mujhse baat karna chah rahi thi. Dusri taraf dono hi mujhe andekha karti ja rahi thi. Khalid ko lekar mai jitna pareshan nahi tha. Us se jyada ab ye dono mujhe pareshan kar rahi thi.

Kuch ghante pahle mai jaha priya ke sath hansi majak karte huye, keerti ke pas pahuchne ki taiyari me laga tha. Wahi ab mai un dono ki hi narajgi jhelne par majbur tha aur unko manane ki koshish me laga hua tha. Aaj ki subah mere liye jitni jyada ujale bhari thi. Ab raat mujhe utni hi jyada kaali hoti najar aa rahi thi.

Keerti aur priya ki narajgi ko aise hi jhelte jhelte 9 baj gaye. Fir barkha didi mujhe khane ke liye bulane aa gayi aur mai unke sath niche aa gaya. Niche aakar maine sabke sath khana khaya aur uske bad mai aunty se baat karne laga.

Meri aunty se baat chal hi rahi thi ki, priya ne mere hath me, din me kharide huye gift thama diye. Mai uske is ishare ko samajh gaya aur maine un gift me se aunty aur barkha didi ke liye kharide huye gift nikal kar unko de diye.

Mera diya gift dekh kar, barkha diid to khush ho gayi. Lekin aunty ne is gift wali baat par thodi si narajgi jatayi. Magar fir bad me barkha didi aur priya ke samjhane par un ne bhi khushi khushi gift le liya.

Priya ne neha aur hitu ke liye kharida hua gift bhi barkha didi ko dete huye, wo gift unse neha aur hitu ko dene ka kah diya. Iske bad meri un se thodi bahut baten huyi aur fir mai priya ke sath ghar ke liye nikal pada.

Raste me mai priya se baat karne ki koshish karta raha. Lekin wo meri har baat ka sirf haan ya na me jabab de rahi thi. Apne jaane se pahle mujhe uski ye narajgi achi nahi lag rahi thi.

Lekin lakh koshishon ke bad bhi, mai uski ye narajgi door nahi kar saka aur fir 10 baje hum log ghar pahuch gaye. Jab hum log ghar pahuche to, sab khana kha rahe the. Nikki bhi sabke sath khane par baithi thi.

Lekin wo khana nahi kha rahi thi. Priya ne use dekha to sidhe uske pas jakar baith gayi aur us se uske wapas aane ki vajah puchhne lagi. Tab nikki ne bataya ki, mohini aunty ko bhi kal wapas jana tha.

Isliye ajay bhaiya ne unke ticket bhi punit logon ke sath hi karwa diye the. Wo seeru didi logon ke sath yaha ticket dene aayi thi. Lekin mohini aunty ne use wapas hi nahi jaane diya.

Nikki ki ye baat sunkar, priya nikki ko chhod kar mohini aunty ke pas aakar, unse kuch din aur rukne ki jid karne lagi. Magar mohini aunty ne use kisi tarah se samjha bujha kar apne kal wapas jaane ki baat ke liye taiyar kar hi liya.

Sabka khana khana ho chuka tha. Ab sirf baton ka daur chal raha tha aur sab aaj huyi ghatna ke baare me baat kar rahe the. Raj aur riya, meri aaj ki gayi maar peet ke baare me sabko bad chad kar bata rahe the.

Lekin is baat ke suru hote hi priya ne fir se muh fula liya tha. Ye baat nikki se chhupi na rah saki aur usne priya ko tokte huye kaha.

Nikki boli “are jab sab kuch thik ho gaya hai to, fir tera muh aise kyo fula hua hai.”

Nikki ki ye baat sunkar, riya ne hanste huye kaha.

Riya boli “iska muh isliye fula hai, kyoki us samay isne punit ko waha par na rukne aur ghar wapas jaane ke liye samjhane ki koshish ki thi. Magar tab punit itne jyada gusse me tha ki, isne priya ko hi bahut ulta sidha bol diya tha.”

Ye kah kar, riya sabko mere priya par gussa karne ki baat batane lagi. Jise sunne ke bad, sab priya ko gussa na karne ke liye samjhane lage. Jise dekh kar, priya ne apna mood sahi kar liya.

Lekin uska ye mood sirf sabko dikhane ke liye sahi hua tha. Asal me to wo abhi bhi mujhse naraj hi thi aur mujhse koi baat nahi kar rahi thi. Ye baat nikki ke bhi samajh me aa chuki thi.

Isliye ab wo mujhe dekh kar muskura rahi thi. Kal to maine priya ki narajgi ko keerti ki madad se door kar diya tha. Lekin aaj to priya ke sath sath keerti bhi mujhse naraj thi.

Aise me priya ko manane me nikki hi meri madad kar sakti thi. Isliye jab maine nikki ko meri taraf dekh kar, muskurate dekha to, maine use priya ka gussa shant karne ka ishara kiya.

Lekin usne meri is pareshani ka maja lete huye, apne sar ko hila kar aisa karne se saaf mana kar diya. Lekin mai iske bad bhi, use baar baar priya ko manane ke liye ishare karta raha.

Aakhir me usne meri haalat par taras kha kar, muskurate huye, priya ko manane me, meri madad karne ke liye, haan me sar hila diya. Idhar mai priya ko manane ke liye nikki ko taiyar karne me laga tha.

Udhar priya sabko meri taraf se gift dene me lagi huyi thi. Usne yaha par mujhse jude, har kisi ke liye, kuch na kuch gift jarur kharida tha. Lekin khud ke liye usne koi bhi gift nahi kharida tha.

Use ye bhi nahi pata tha ki, maine jo gift tripti ka kah kar kharida hai. Asal me wo gift usi ke liye hai. Mai use ye gift ghar aakar dena chahta tha. Lekin uske pahle hi ye sab lafda ho gaya aur wo mujhse naraj ho gayi.

Lekin ab use sabko gift dete dekh kar, mujhe bhi use apna gift dene ka yahi sahi mauka najar aaya. Maine fauran hi un gift me se priya ke liye kharida hua gift nikala aur priya ki taraf badate huye kaha.

Mai bola “tumne meri taraf se sabko gift to de diye. Lekin tum khud ka gift lena hi bhool gayi. Ye gift meri taraf se tumhare liye hai.”

Priya us gift ko dekhte hi fauran pehchan gayi aur usne itni der me pahli baar mujhse koi baat karte huye kaha.

Priya boli “lekin ye gift to tumne kisi or ke liye kharida tha.”

Priya ki ye baat sunkar, maine muskurate huye us se kaha.

Mai bola “nahi, ye gift maine tumhare liye hi kharida tha. Tumne mujhse apne b’day ki baat chhupayi thi. Isliye maine bhi tumse ye baat chhupayi thi ki, mai ye gift tumhare liye kharid raha hu. Ab hum dono ka hisab barabar ho gaya.”

Meri ye baat sunkar priya gusse me mujhe gurne lagi aur baki sab hasne lage. Thodi der tak hum sab isi baat ko lekar hansi majak karte rahe. Fir 11 baje ke bad, sab ek dusre ko good night bol kar apne apne kamre me jaane lage.

Maine bhi sabko good night kaha aur apne kamre me aa gaya. Kamre me aakar maine kapde badle aur fir keerti ko call laga diya. Lekin usne na to mera call uthaya aur na hi mujhe call lagaya.

Thodi der tak mai use aise hi call lagata raha. Lekin jab usne mera call nahi uthaya to, fir maine use msg karke, call uthane ke liye apni kasam de di. Jiske fauran bad hi uska call aane laga.

Maine call uthate hi, use kuch bolne ka mauka diye bina hi, apni galti ki maafi mangna suru kar diya. Wo meri baat ko ansuna kar, mujh par gussa karne ki koshish kar rahi thi.

Lekin mai use kuch bolne ka mauka hi nahi de raha tha. Ek tarah se mai uske gussa karne ki aadat ko, usko manane ke liye istemal kar raha tha. Mere is tarah lagatar maafi mangte rahne se pahle to, wo chidchidati rahi.

Magar uski ye chidchidahat jyada der tak bani na rah saki aur meri in harkaton se achanak hi uski hansi chhut gayi. Fir usne pyar se aaj ki baton ko lekar gussa kiya. Jisme maine kaan pakad kar apni galti ki maafi maang li.

Jiske bad, usne mujhe is baat ke liye maaf kar diya aur call rakhne ki baat karne lagi. Uske itni jaldi call rakhne ki baat sunkar mujhe laga ki, shayad uski narajgi abhi door nahi huyi hai. Jab maine ye hi baat us se kahi to, usne mujhe call jaldi rakhne ki vajah samjhate huye kaha.

Keerti boli “mai tumse sach me naraj nahi hu. Lekin aaj vaani didi log aa gayi hai. Vaani didi mere ghar na jakar yahi mausi ke pas ruk gayi hai aur unka koi bharosha nahi hai. Wo kisi bhi samay mere kamre me aa dhamak sakti hai. Isliye aaj mai tumse jyada baat nahi kar sakti.”

Mujhe bhi keerti ki ye baat sahi lagi. Vaani ek aisi lailaj bimari thi, jiska ilaj duniya ke kisi bhi doctor ke pas nahi tha. Isliye maine bhi keerti se baat karne ki koi jid nahi ki aur usko good night kah kar call rakh diya.

Vaani ki vajah se keerti se meri jyada baat to nahi ho saki thi. Lekin mujhe is baat ki khushi thi ki, kam se kam ab wo mujhse naraj nahi hai. Keerti ki narajgi to, maine door kar di thi. Magar priya ki narajgi abhi bhi bani huyi thi.

Nikki ne mujhe ishare se uski narajgi door karne me madad karne ka dilasa to, de diya tha. Lekin wo iske liye kya kar rahi thi, iske baare me mujhe kuch pata nahi tha. Isi baat ko janne ke liye maine nikki ko call laga diya. Nikki ke call uthate hi maine us se kaha.

Mai bola “kya hua, aapki priya se kuch baat huyi ya nahi huyi.”

Nikki boli “meri abhi abhi us se baat huyi. Usne mujhe bataya ki, aapne us se kitni buri tarah se baat ki thi. Uski baten sunkar, jab mujhe itna jyada bura laga hai. Tab to uska ye sab sunkar naraj hona banta hi hai.”

Mai bola “mai janta hu ki, galti meri hi hai. Lekin us samay mai bahut gusse me tha aur mujhe priya par is baat ko lekar bhi gussa aa raha tha ki, usne ye baat sabse chhupa kar kyo rakhi. Bas isi gusse me mai usko ulta sidha bak gaya tha.”

“Magar ab mujhe apni galti ka pachhtawa ho raha hai. Lekin wo mujhse baat karne ko taiyar hi nahi hai. Plz aap kaise bhi karke uski ye narajgi door kar dijiye. Warna mere yaha se jaane ke bad bhi, ye baat mujhe pareshan karti rahegi.”

Nikki boli “usko naraj aapne kiya hai to, ab manana bhi aapko hi padega. Mai uski narajgi door karne ke liye kuch nahi kar sakti.”

Mai bola “mai manauga to tab na, jab wo mujhe manane ka koi mauka de. Lekin wo to mujhe kuch bolne ka mauka hi nahi de rahi hai.”

Meri baat sunkar, nikki ne hanste huye kaha.

Nikki boli “wo aisi hi hai. Ek to wo kabhi kisi se jaldi naraj hi nahi hoti hai aur yadi kisi se naraj ho jaye to, fir use manana itna aasan nahi hai.”

Mai bola “aap uske jaldi naraj na hone ki baat kar rahi hai. Lekin wo to mujhse baat baat par naraj ho jati hai. Wo to kal bhi mujhse naraj thi.”

Ye kah kar maine use kal ki priya ki narajgi ke baare me bata diya. Jise sunkar, nikki ne or bhi jyada jor se hanste huye kaha.

Nikki boli “to fir isme mushkil kya hai. Aaj bhi use aisa hi koi gaana suna kar mana lijiye.”

Mai bola “aapko meri baat majak lag rahi hai. Mai koi singer nahi hu. Jo baat baat par gaana gata rahu.”

Nikki boli “ok, ok, ab aap mujhse jhagra mat kajiye. Rukiye mai kuch sochti hu.”

Itna bol kar nikki chup ho gayi. Shayad wo is samay kuch soch rahi thi. Kuch der ki khamoshi ke bad, usne kaha.

Nikki boli “aap ek kaam kijiye. Aap apne kamre ke pas bani sidiyon se sidhe chhat par aa jaiye. Mai priya ko lekar wahi aati hu. Fir aapke upar hai ki, aap use kaise manate hai.”

Nikki ki baat sunkar, maine is baat ki haami bhari aur call rakh diya. Priya ka ghar mera ghuma hua nahi tha. Lekin sidiyan meri dekhi huyi thi. Isliye chhat tak pahuchne me mujhe koi parehshani nahi thi.

Nikki ke call rakhte hi, mai fauran apne kamre se bahar nikla aur sidiyan chadta hua, chhat par pahuch gaya. Sidiyon par light jal rahi thi. Lekin chhat ki light band thi aur mujhe chhat ki light chhalu karne ka kuch pata nahi tha.

Chhat par is samay andhera tha. Lekin aasman par chamak rahe chand taaron aur bahar sadak par jal rahi light ki vajah se ye andhera itna gahra bhi nahi tha ki, is andhere me kisi ko kuch dikhayi hi na de sake.

Isliye maine bhi light ke baare me jyada nahi socha aur chhat par aakar yaha waha tahalte huye, nikki logon ke aane ka intejar karne laga. Kuch hi der me nikki aur priya waha aa gayi.

Nikki aakar mere pas khadi ho gayi. Lekin priya mere samne se hoti huyi, chhat ki balcony me jakar, meri taraf pith karke khadi ho gayi. Nikki ne ek najar priya ki taraf dekha aur fir muskurate huye mujhse kaha.

Nikki boli “ab aap dekh kya rahe hai. Priya aa gayi hai. Ab kah dijiye, jo aapko kahna hai.”

Nikki ki baat sunkar, mai priya ke pas jakar khada ho gaya. Magar mere uske pas jate hi, wo waha se jaane ko huyi, lekin uske pahle hi maine uska hath pakad kar use rokte huye kaha.

Mai bola “sorry yaar, mujhe tumko is tarah se nahi chillana chahiye tha. Ab mujhe sach me apni us galti ka pachhtawa ho raha hai. Plz mujhe maaf kar do.”

Ye kahte huye, maine apne dono kaan pakad liye. Ye dekh kar nikki ne hanste huye priya se kaha.

Nikki boli “dekh, ab to in ne apne kaan bhi pakad liye, ab to inhe maaf kar de na.”

Nikki ki baat sunkar, priya ne pahli baar mujh par apna gussa jahir karte huye, nikki se kaha.

Priya boli “tumko kya lagta hai. Kya mai sirf itni chhoti si baat ko lekar is se naraj hu. Ye baat itni chhoti nahi hai, jitni chhoti tum samajh rahi ho. Kya tumne kabhi ye baat soch kar dekhi hai ki, yadi seeru didi samay par waha na pahuchi hoti to, waha kya ho sakta tha.”

“Tu jara soch kar dekh ki, yadi khalid, ajay bhaiya ka dost na nikla hota to, us samay waha par kya kuch nahi ho gaya hota. Kya wo apne bhai ka khoon bahane wale ko, aise hi jaane deta. Kya ye humare samne aise bhala changa khada rahta.”

Priya ke ye sawal sunkar, nikki ne usko samjhate huye us se kaha.

Nikki boli “teri sab baten sahi hai. Lekin jab aisa kuch hua hi nahi hai to, tu is baat ko itna kyo bada rahi hai.”

Nikki ki baat sunkar, priya ne hairani se uski taraf dekhte huye kaha.

Priya boli “tu bhi ye hi samajhti hai ki, mai is baat ko bevajah bada rahi hu. Kya tujhe malum nahi ki, iski mom iske sath huye hadso ki vajah se kitna pareshan thi aur jate jate bhi wo hum logon se bas iska khayal rakhne ka hi jata kar gayi thi.”

“Unhe hum logon par pura viswas tha ki, hum logon ke rahte is par koi musibat nahi aa sakti. Sirf iska khayal rakhne ki vajah se wo mujhe kitna pyar de rahi thi. Aise me yadi meri vajah se hi iske sath kuch bura ho jata to, mai kis muh se unka samna kar pati.”

Ye baat kahte kahte priya ki aankhen chhalak gayi aur wo apne aansu rokne ki koshish karne lagi. Wahi mai aur nikki ek dusre ko hairani se dekhne lage. Abhi tak hum dono ko aisa lag raha tha ki, priya ki mujhse jo narjagi hai, wo mere us par chillane ki vajah se hai.

Lekin yaha to uski is narajgi vajah hi kuch alag thi aur uski is narajgi ke pichhe, chhupi gahrayi ko jaan kar, kuch der tak na to mujhse kuch kahte bana aur na hi nikki se kuch kahte bana.

Fir jaise hi nikki us se kuch bolne ko huyi, waise hi usne apne aansu ponchhe aur nikki se kaha.

Priya boli “mujhe is se koi narajgi nahi hai. Yadi mai is se naraj hoti to, mujhe iske sath barkha didi ke yaha rukne ki koi jarurat nahi thi. Mai bhi riya didi logon ke sath hi ghar wapas aa gayi hoti.”

Nikki se itni baat kahne ke bad, priya ne palat kar meri taraf dekhte huye kaha.

Priya boli “mujhe sach me tumse koi narajgi nahi hai. Meri yadi kisi se kuch narajgi hai to, wo sirf apne aap se hai. Kyoki meri vajah se hi tumhare upar itni badi musibat aane wali thi.”

“Tumhe kisi baat ke liye mujhse maafi mangne ki koi jarurat nahi hai. Tumse kabhi mera dil dukhane ki galti huyi hi nahi hai. Yadi kisi se ko galti huyi hai to, wo sirf mujhse huyi hai. Mai hi tumhare dil me hamesha jagah banane ki koshish karti rahti thi.”

“Yadi ho sake to, mujhe meri is galti ke liye maaf kar do aur yadi maaf na bhi kar sako, tab bhi mujhe tumse koi shikayat nahi hogi. Mere dil se hamesha tumhare liye dua hi nikli hai aur aaj bhi tumhe dua deti hu ki, tum jaha bhi raho, khush raho.”

Ye baat kahte kahte ek baar fir uski aankhon me aansu aa gaye. Magar is baar usne apne aansu ponchne ki koshish nahi ki aur palat kar humare pas se wapas jaane lagi. Lekin uske waha se jaane ke pahle hi maine uska hath pakad liya.

Wo mujhse apna hath chhudane ki koshish kar rahi thi aur mai us se kuch bolne ki koshish kar raha tha. Lekin uske dard ka aehsas karke, meri aankhon me bhi nami aa gayi thi aur mai chah kar bhi us se kuch bol nahi pa raha tha.

Maine anjane me hi sahi, lekin uske masum dil par gahri chhot pahuchayi thi aur ab uski is chot par marham bhi mujhe hi lagana tha. Jab mujhse us se kuch kahte nahi bana to, fir mere dil se khud-ba-khud ek gaane ke bol nikal aaye.

“Hum Ko Mili Hain Aaj Ye
Ghadiyan Nasib Se

Ji Bhar Ke Dekh Lijiye
Hum Ko Karib Se

Phir Aap Ke Nasib Mein
Ye Raat Ho Na Ho

Shayad Phir Is Janam Mein
Mulaqat Ho Na Ho

(Mere muh se gaane ke ye bol sunte hi
priya ne apna hath chhudane ki koshish
band kar di aur meri taraf gaur se
dekhne lagi maine use dekhte huye
aage sur me gaate huye kaha)

Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye
Hasin Raat Ho Na Ho

Shayad Phir Is Janam Mein
Mulaqat Ho Na Ho

Pas Aaiye Ki Hum Nahin
Aayenge Baar-Baar

Baahen Gale Mein Daal Ke
Hum Ro Le Zaar-Zaar

(ye kahte huye maine
priya ko apni taraf khich liya)

Aankhon Se Phir Ye Pyar Ki
Barasat Ho Na Ho

Shayad Phir Is Janam Mein
Mulaqat Ho Na Ho

Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye
Hashin Raat Ho Na Ho

Shayad Phir Is Janam Mein
Mulaqat Ho Na Ho.”

Gaana pura hote hote meri aankhen puri tarah aansuon se bhig chuki thi. Wahi priya mere gale se lag kar aansu bahaye ja rahi thi. Lekin ye haal sirf hum dono ka hi nahi tha. Nikki ka haal bhi kuch humare jaisa hi tha. Wo bhi apni aankhon se aansuon ko chhalakne se nahi rok payi thi.

Maine anjane me hi sahi, lekin uske masum dil par gahri chhot pahuchayi thi aur ab uski is chot par marham bhi mujhe hi lagana tha. Jab mujhse us se kuch kahte nahi bana to, fir mere dil se khud-ba-khud ek gaane ke bol nikal aaye.

“Hum Ko Mili Hain Aaj Ye
Ghadiyan Nasib Se

Ji Bhar Ke Dekh Lijiye
Hum Ko Karib Se

Phir Aap Ke Nasib Mein
Ye Raat Ho Na Ho

Shayad Phir Is Janam Mein
Mulaqat Ho Na Ho

(Mere muh se gaane ke ye bol sunte hi
priya ne apna hath chhudane ki koshish
band kar di aur meri taraf gaur se
dekhne lagi maine use dekhte huye
aage sur me gaate huye kaha)

Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye
Hasin Raat Ho Na Ho

Shayad Phir Is Janam Mein
Mulaqat Ho Na Ho

Pas Aaiye Ki Hum Nahin
Aayenge Baar-Baar

Baahen Gale Mein Daal Ke
Hum Ro Le Zaar-Zaar

(ye kahte huye maine
priya ko apni taraf khich liya)

Aankhon Se Phir Ye Pyar Ki
Barasat Ho Na Ho

Shayad Phir Is Janam Mein
Mulaqat Ho Na Ho

Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye
Hashin Raat Ho Na Ho

Shayad Phir Is Janam Mein
Mulaqat Ho Na Ho.”

Gaana pura hote hote meri aankhen puri tarah aansuon se bhig chuki thi. Wahi priya mere gale se lag kar aansu bahaye ja rahi thi. Lekin ye haal sirf hum dono ka hi nahi tha. Nikki ka haal bhi kuch humare jaisa hi tha. Wo bhi apni aankhon se aansuon ko chhalakne se nahi rok payi thi.

Ye sirf ek gaana nahi, mere dil ke wo aehsas the. Jo is samay mai priya ko lekar mehsus kar raha tha. Wakt jaise hum logon ke liye ruk sa gaya tha. Sab ke lab khamosh the. Lekin aankhen aanus baha kar apne jajbat jahir kar rahi thi.

Thodi der kisi ne kisi se kuch bhi nahi kaha. Fir nikki ne apne aanus ponchhte huye, humare pas aakar kaha.

Nikki boli “ye dekho, tum dono ne mujhe bhi rula kar rakh diya.”

Nikki ki baat sunkar, mujhe pahli baar waha par nikki ke bhi hone ka aehsas hua aur maine apni aankhon ko saaf karte huye, nikki se kaha.

Mai bola “maine kya kiya. Mai to sirf priya ko mana raha tha.”

Ye kahte huye, maine nikki ko priya ki taraf ishara kiya. Priya ab bhi mujhse lipat kar roye hi ja rahi thi. Usne jaise hum dono ki baat suni hi na ho. Nikki ne mujhe chup rahne ka ishara kiya aur fir priya ko chhedte huye kaha.

Nikki boli “kya itna manane ke bad bhi, tera gussa khatam nahi hua hai. Jo abhi tak roye ja rahi hai.”

Ye kahte huye nikki ne pyar se priya ke sar par hath to, priya mujhe chhod kar, nikki se lipat gayi. Nikki ne pyar se uske sar par hath ferte huye kaha.

Nikki boli “ab bas bhi kar na, mujhse tera rona nahi dekha jata hai. Ab yadi tu chup nahi huyi to, mai bhi rone lag jaugi.”

Nikki ki is baat ne priya ke upar jadi ki tarah asar kiya aur uska rona dhire dihre siski me badal gaya. Lekin wo abhi bhi nikki se lipti huyi thi. Nikki ne mujhe bolne ka ishara kiya to, maine priya se kaha.

Mai bola “sorry, maine anjane me tumhare dil ko bahut chot laga di. Mai janta hu ki, mai us wakt galat tha aur yadi khalid ajay ka dost na nikla hota to, mere sath kuch bhi bura ho sakta tha.”

“Lekin ab ek baat mai tumse puchhta hu. Tum to khalid ke baare me sab kuch pahle se janti ho. Aise me yadi aaj raste me kisi baat ko lekar, mera jhagra khalid se ho gaya hota to, tab tum kya karti. Kya tum khalid ke dar se mujhe akela chhor kar bhag jati.”

Meri ye baat sunte hi priya ka sisakna band ho gaya aur wo palat kar meri taraf gaur se dekhne lagi. Wo shayad ye janne ki koshish kar rahi thi ki, mai us se ye sawal kyo kar raha hu.

Lekin jab use mere is sawal ko karne ka matlab samajh me aaya to, usne gusse me mujhe gurte huye kaha.

Priya boli “jyada chalak banne ki koshish mat karo. Tum mujhko mere diye gaye jabab me hi fasana chahte ho. Lekin ek baat kaan khol kar sun lo. Mai jo chahe kar sakti hu. Tum meri barabari karne ki koshish mat karo.”

Priya ki ye baat sunte hi, meri aur nikki ki hansi chhut gayi. Thodi der mai aur nikki milkar priya ko isi baat ko lekar pareshan karte rahe aur fir dhire dhire priya bhi apne mood me wapas aa gayi.

Priya ki narajgi door hote dekh kar, maine bhi rahat ki saans li. Kuch der hum log aise hi ek dusre se hansi majak karte rahe. Fir ek dusre ko good night bol kar apne apne kamre ki taraf chal diye.

Kamre me aakar maine bhi shukun ki saans li. Ab mere dil me jald se jald srif keerti se milne ki tadap thi aur mai isi tadap ke sath keerti ko yaad karte huye gahri nind ki aagosh me kho gaya.

Subah 7 baje meri nind nikki ke jagane par khuli. Usne hamesha ki tarah muskurate huye mujhe jagaya aur fir mujhe taiyar hone ka bol kar wapas chali gayi. Uske jaane ke bad, mai bhi fresh hone chala gaya.

Fresh hone ke bad mai taiyar hua aur apne baki ke saman ki packing karne laga. Tabhi nikki aur priya chay nashta lekar aa gayi. Maine unke sath chay nashta kiya aur fir unse baat karte karte apne saman ki packing karne laga.

Kuch hi der me mera packing karna bhi ho gaya. Uske bad mai priya aur nikki ke sath bahar hall me sabke pas aa gaya. Hall me ghar ke sabhi log baith kar gap shap kar rahe the.

Aaj mohini aunty sab se dil khol kar baten kar rahi thi. Mehul bhi unse baat karne ka koi mauka nahi chhod raha tha. Mujhe mehul ki is harkat ko dekh kar, kuch hairani si ho rahi thi aur mai khamoshi se uski baton ko sunne laga.

Mere pas hi nitika aur priya bhi baithi huyi thi. Priya ko bhi mehul ka mohini aunty ki har baat me sath dena kuch ajib sa lag raha tha. Thodi der tak to, wo uski baten sunti rahi. Lekin jab us se na raha gaya to, usne dhire se mujhse kaha.

Priya boli “mujhe to daal me kuch kaala najar aa raha hai. Tumko aisa nahi lag raha ki, mehul chachi ko jarurat se jyada hi msaka laga raha hai.”

Mai bola “haan, mujhe bhi aisa hi lag raha hai. Lekin meri samajh me ye nahi aa raha hai ki, ye aisa kyo kar raha hai.”

Hum dono aapas me dhire dhire baten kar rahe the. Lekin humari is baat ko nitika bhi sun rahi thi. Usne meri baat sunte hi dhire se hum dono se kaha.

Nitika boli “wo apne aage ka rasta taiyar kar raha hai.”

Nitika ki baat sunte hi, hum dono ka dhyan uski taraf chala gaya. Usne hum dono ki hairani ko door karte huye kaha.

Nitika boli “isme chaukne wali kya baat hai. Mehul ki girlfriend shilpa meri saheli hai aur wo mere ghar aati rahti hai. Mummy ke bigde huye swabhav ki vajah se mehul humare ghar aane se bhi darta tha.”

“Lekin ab mummy ke is badle huye roop ko dekh kar, wo mummy ko patane me laga hua hai. Taki yaha se jaane ke bad bhi mummy ke sath uska mel jol aise hi bana rahe aur uska humare ghar aana jana suru ho jaye.”

Nitika ki ye baat sunkar, mujhe aur bhi jyada hairani huyi aur maine nitika se kaha.

Mai bola “ye to aap thik kah rahi hai. Lekin mai ye nahi maan sakta ki, ye idea mehul ke dimag me aa sakta. Ye jarur kisi aur ke dimag ki upaj hai.”

Meri baat ke jabab me nitika ne muskurate huye kaha.

Nitika boli “aap thik soch rahe ho. Ye mehul ka nahi, riya didi ka idea hai. Un ne hi kal mehul ko ye salah di thi aur wo kal se isi tarah mummy ke aage pichhe laga hua hai. Hum logon ke aapke sath wapas chalne me bhi mehul ka hi hath hai.”

Nitika ki ye baat sunkar, meri aur priya ki hansi chhut gayi. Hum fir se muhul aur mohini aunty ki baton ka maja lene lage. Aise hi baton aur hansi majak ka daur chalte chalte 11 baj gaye.

Maine priya se barkha didi ke ghar chalne ka puchha to, padmini aunty ne mujhse khana kha kar jaane ko kaha. Maine unko samjhana chaha. Lekin aaj mera unke ghar me aakhiri din tha.

Jis vajah se wo mujhe aaj khana khaye, bina nahi jaane dena chahti thi. Aakhir me mujhe unki baat maan kar, sabke sath khana khana pad gaya. Khana khate khate hume 12 baj gaye.

Uske bad, mai priya aur nikki ke sath barkha didi ke ghar aa gaya. Hum log waha pahuche to, neha aur seeru didi log waha pahle se maujud thi. Hum logon ke pahuchte hi, waha khane ki taiyari chalne lagi.

Priya aur nikki ne to, ghar se khana kha kar aane ki baat kah kar, barkha didi se khana khane se saaf saaf mana kar diya. Lekin mai barkha didi ke bolte hi, sabke sath khana khane ke liye baith gaya.

Mujhe yaha aakar fir se khana khane ke liye baithte dekh kar, nikki ne hairan hokar, mujhse kaha.

Nikki boli “are aap abhi to ghar se khana kha kar aaye hai aur ab fir se yaha khana khane baith gaye. Kya aunty ka bana hua khana aapko pasand nahi aaya ya fir waha ke khane se aapka pet nahi bhara tha.”

Nikki ki is baat ko sunkar, mai muskura kar rah gaya. Lekin priya ne nikki ki is baat ka jabab dete huye kaha.

Priya boli “jaisa tu soch rahi hai, aisi koi baat nahi hai. Isne barkha didi se vada kiya tha ki, jab tak ye yaha hai, iska khana barkha didi ke sath hi hoga. Jis vajah se khana kha lene ke bad bhi, ise apne vade ko nibhane ke liye, barkha didi ke sath bhi khana khane baithna pada hai.”

Priya ki ye baat sunte hi, seeru didi log meri is haalat par hasne lagi. Lekin barkha didi ne fauran mujhe tokte huye kaha.

Barkha boli “mere bhai, tumhe kisi baat ka sankoch karne ki jarurat nahi hai. Yadi tumne priya ke ghar khana kha liya to, isme kya galat ho gaya. Jaise ye tumhara ghar hai, waise hi wo bhi tumhara ghar hai.”

“Tum yaha khana khao ya waha khana khao, ek hi baat hai. Tum apne kiye kisi vade ke liye, khud ko taklif mat do. Mujhe tumse kisi baat ki koi shikayat nahi hai aur tumhe jabardasti yaha khana khane ki bhi koi jarurat nahi hai.”

Barkha didi ki ye baat sunkar, maine muskurate huye kaha.

Mai bola “didi, yadi mujhe yaha khana nahi khana hota to, mai aapko call karke, pahle hi mana kar deta. Lekin maine priya ke ghar khana khate huye bhi, apne pet me itni jagah bacha kar rakhi thi ki, aapke sath bhi khana kha saku. Aap yakin rakhiye, mai koi sankoch nahi kar raha hu.”

Meri baat sunkar, barkha didi ke chehre par muskurahat aa gayi aur fir hum sab khana khane lage. Seeru didi baat baat par meri khichai karne me lagi thi aur selu didi bhi unka sath de rahi thi.

Aise hi hansi majak karte karte humara khana khana ho gaya. Ab sab log kheer kha rahe the. Tabhi seeru didi ne fir se mujhe chhedte huye kaha.

Seerat boli “ek baat batao, tumhari didi to, humare ghar me hai. Fir tum unko chhod kar, roj yaha barkha ke sath khana kyo khate ho.”

Seeru didi ki is baat par maine muskurate huye kaha.

Mai bola “didi, aapka aisa sochna galat nahi hai. Asal me baat ye hai ki, mujhe is ghar ki har jagah par didi ki hi chhap najar aati hai. Sirf ye hi nahi, balki abhi mai jo kheer kha raha hu, mujhe to isme bhi didi ke hathon ka hi swad najar aa raha hai. Jab maine pahli baar yaha khana khaya tha. Tab didi ne mujhe bilkul aisi hi kheer bana kar khilayi thi.”

Meri ye baat sunkar, seeru didi log hairani se mujhe dekhne lagi. Wahi aunty ke chehre par muskan magar aankhon me aansu jhilmila gaye. Aunty ne mere pas aakar, mere sar par hath ferte huye kaha.

Aunty boli “tumne kheer ke swad ko bilkul sahi pehchana hai. Ye kheer shikha ne hi, tumhare liye banakar bheji hai. Jaise tumhari khane ke bad, chay peene ki aadat hai.”

“Waise hi shekhar ko bhi khane ke bad, kuch meetha khane ki aadat thi. Use kheer bahut jyada pasand thi. Isliye shikha ne aaj tumhare liye ye kheer bana kar bheji thi.”

Shekhar bhaiya ka naam sunkar, mahol ek dam se bhavuk sa ho gaya tha. Shekhar bhaiya se mai kabhi mila to nahi tha. Lekin unse mujhe itna jyada apnapan ho gaya tha ki, unki kami ke aehsas ne mujhe bhi bhavuk kar diya tha.

Kuch pal ke liye waha gahri khamoshi chha gayi. Fir aunty ne hi is khamoshi ko todte huye mujhse kaha.

Aunty boli “beta, jab kabhi tumhe yaha aane ka mauka mile to, wo mauka apne hath se jaane mat dena aur hum se milne chale aana. Hum sabko tumse itna apnapan ho gaya hai ki, tumhe yaha se jaane dene ka, man hi nahi kar raha hai.”

Mai bola “aunty ye bhi bhala koi kahne ki baat hai. Yakin maniye, jab mai apne ghar se yaha ke liye nikla tha, tab mujhe apne ghar walon se door hote huye, jitna dukh hua tha. Utna hi dukh, aap sab se bhi door hote huye ho raha hai.”

“Mujhe aap sab se itna apnapan mila hai ki, mera aap sab se door hone ka dil hi nahi kar raha hai. Is samay mujhe apne ghar wapas lautne ki khushi nahi, balki aap sab se door hone ka dukh ho raha hai.”

Ye baat kahte kahte mai kuch udas sa ho gaya. Meri is udasi ko dekh kar, barkha didi ne muskurate huye kaha.

Barkha boli “mere bhai, aisa nahi kahte. Hum log to sirf itna chahte hai ki, tum kabhi kabhi hum se milne yaha aate raho. Lekin iska ye matlab nahi ki, tum yaha se dukhi hokar jao.”

“Tum yaha se khushi khushi apne ghar jao. Waha par bhi meri do chhoti bahne badi besabri se tumhara intejar kar rahi hai. Wo itne din bad, tumko apne pas pakar bahut khush hogi.”

Barkha didi ki ye baat sunkar, meri aankhon me ami nimi ka masum chehra ghoom gaya. Abhi mai barkha didi ki kisi baat ka koi jabab de pata ki, tabhi shikha didi aur nisha bhabhi andar aati huyi najar aayi.

Unko dekhte hi mere chehre par muskurahat aa gayi. Wo dono bhi humare pas aakar baith gayi. Nisha bhabhi ne aate hi, mujhe chhedte huye kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “kyo hero, yaha sabka khana ho gaya hai. Lekin tumhara khana hai ki, abhi tak chal hi raha hai.”

Unki ye baat sunkar, mai muskura kar rah gaya aur fir se kheer khane laga. Lekin seeru didi ka dimag kab kaha chal jaye, ye koi nahi janta tha. Un ne fauran hi nisha bhabhi ki, is baat ka jabab dete huye kaha.

Seerat boli “kya bhabhi, aapko majak ke siwa kabhi kuch sujhta bhi hai ya nahi. Ye bechara itne din yaha raha. Lekin shikha bhabhi ne ise iski manpasand chij bana kar hi nahi khilayi hai. Ab to apne ghar jakar hi iska pet bhar payega.”

Seeru didi ki ye baat sunte hi, mai unki taraf dekhne laga. Mujhe samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, ab inke dimag me kya chal raha hai. Wahi shikha didi ne hairani se seeru didi se kaha.

Shikha didi boli “mai samjhi nahi, aap kya bol rahi ho.”

Seerat boli “bhabhi, isme samajhne wali kya baat hai. Priya bata rahi thi ki, aapke bhai ko aalu ke parathe bahut pasand hai. Kya aapne aaj tak ise aalu ke parathe khilaye hai. Ab to ise apne ghar jakar hi aalu ke parathe khane ko milege.”

Seeru didi ki ye baat sunkar, maine priya ki taraf ghoor kar dekha. Lekin wo na me apna sar hila kar batane lagi ki, usne aisa kuch bhi nahi kaha hai. Wahi seeru didi ki ye baat sunte hi, shikha didi ne fauran uth kar khade hote huye kaha.

Shikha didi boli “bhaiya, mujhe ye baat pata nahi thi. Lekin aap bas thodi der ruko, mai abhi aapke liye aalu ke parathe bana kar lati hu.”

Shikha didi ki ye baat sunte hi, mere pet ki to jaan hi nikal gayi. Maine fauran hi shikha didi ko rokte huye kaha.

Mai bola “nahi didi, ab mera khana ho chuka hai. Aap bekar me pareshan mat hoiye. Mai agli baar jab aauga, tab jarur aapke hath ke aalu ke parathe khauga.”

Magar shikha didi ne meri is baat ko ansuna karte huye kaha.

Shikha didi boli “nahi bhaiya, aap chahe ek paratha khaiye. Lekin mai aapko aalu ke parathe khaye bina yaha se nahi jaane dugi. Aap bas 5 min rukiye, mai abhi parathe bana kar lati hu.”

Itna bol kar shikha didi, meri koi baat sune bina hi kitchen ki taraf chali gayi aur mai gusse me seeru didi ko dekhne laga. Wahi priya seeru didi se is baat ko lekar bahas karne lagi ki, un ne is baat me uska jhutha naam kyo liya.

Abhi priya aur seeru didi me is baat ko lekar bahas chal hi rahi thi. Tabhi raj, riya, mehul aur nitika aa gaye. Jab unhe is bahas ke baare me pata chala to, mehul ne bataya ki, ye baat to seeru didi ko kal nitika se pata chali thi.

Mehul ki ye baat sunte hi sabko puri baat samajh me aa gayi aur sab hasne lage. Lekin seeru didi ke is majak ne mujhe pareshani me daal diya tha. Kuch hi der me shikha didi aalu ke parathe bana kar le aayi.

Mere pet me ab khane ke liye jara bhi jagah nahi bachi thi. Fir bhi unka dil rakhne ke liye mai parathe khane laga. Ab ye unke hathon ka jadu tha ya fir unka mere liye pyar tha.

Jo mai na na karte huye bhi parathe khate chala ja raha tha. Mujhe is tarah parathe khate dekh kar, seeru didi log bhi hairani se mujhe dekh rahi thi aur jab seeru didi se na raha gaya to, un ne mujhe tokte huye kaha.

Seerat boli “ab bas bhi kar petu. Na na karte huye bhi do parathe kha gaya hai. Itna khayega to, ab tera pet hi fat jayega.”

Seeru didi ki baat sunkar, ek baar fir sabke kahkahe goonj gaye aur is bich mera parathe khana bhi ho gaya. Iske bad hum sabke bich hansi majak ka daur chalta raha. Is sab me hume pata hi nahi chala ki, kab 3:15 baj gaye.

Mehul ne hume is baat ka dhyan dilaya aur jaldi se wapas priya ke ghar chalne ko kahne laga. Lekin tabhi aunty ne hume rukne ko kaha aur wo andar wale kamre me chali gayi.

Kuch der bad, jab wo us kamre se wapas lauti to, unke hath me ek bag tha. Ye wo hi bag tha, jo chhoti maa ke yaha aate samay nitika ke hath me tha aur nitika ise chhoti maa ke sath aunty ke kamre me lekar gayi thi. Aunty ne wo bag mehul ko dete huye kaha.

Aunty boli “tum apna ye bag to, bhool hi ja rahe ho. Punit ki mom ne iski jimmedari tumko hi di thi.”

Aunty ki baat sunkar, mehul ne muskurate huye, wo bag aunty se le liya aur fir wo bag barkha didi ki taraf badate huye kaha.

Mehul bola “didi, aunty ne jate samay mujhse kaha tha ki, un ne shikha didi ke liye to, thoda bahut kar diya hai. Lekin jaldbaji me wo aapke liye kuch nahi kar payi hai. Isliye un ne ye bag aapko de dene ko kaha tha.”

Mehul ki ye baat sunkar, barkha didi aunty ki taraf dekhne lagi. Wahi aunty ne mehul ko tokte huye kaha.

Aunty boli “beta, ye unka badappan hai ki, shikha ke liye itna sab karne ke bad bhi, wo ise thoda maan rahi hai. Magar is bag me un ne bahut paise rakh chhode hai. Barkha bhala itne paiso ka kya karegi.”

Mehul bola “aunty, aapki isi baat ki vajah se un ne jati samay aap se kaha tha ki, aap ye bag mujhe de dena. Kyoki wo janti thi ki, aap iske liye kabhi taiyar nahi hogi. Lekin unka manna tha ki, punit par jitna haq shikha didi ka hai.”

“Utna hi haq barkha didi ka bhi hai. Isliye unne ye paisa barkha didi ko punit ki taraf se diya hai. Ab ye barkha didi ki marji par hai ki, wo is paise ka jo chahe, wo kar sakti hai.”

Mehul ki ye baat sunkar, aunty usko samjhane ki koshish karne lagi. Lekin chhoti maa bhi mehul ko bahut achi tarah se samjha kar gayi thi. Isliye wo aunty ki har ek baat ka jabab deta gaya.

Aakhir me mere aur nisha bhabhi ke samjhane par aunty ne is baat ka virodh karna band kar diya aur barkha didi ne khushi khushi wo bag le liya. Iske bad maine aur mehul ne aunty ke pair chhu kar unse aashirwad liya.

Fir hum sab aunty se vida lekar priya ke ghar jaane ke liye nikal pade. Hum sab 3:45 baje priya ke ghar pahuch gaye. Waha dada ji ke sath, rajesh uncle aur aakash uncle baithe huye the.

Padmini aunty ke sath sath, aakash uncle bhi hume airport tak chhodne jaane wale the. Isliye aaj wo itni samay ghar par the. Ajay aur aman ne airport par hi milne ka kaha tha.

Humari flight ka samay 5 baje ka tha aur ab humare airport ke liye nikalne me jyada samay baki nahi tha. Mohini aunty ne to apna saara saman, pahle se hi bahar nikal kar rakha hua tha.

Isliye maine aur mehul ne ghar aate hi, apna apna saman nikal kar gaadiyon me rakhna suru kar diya. Raj, riya, priya aur nikki bhi humare bag gaadiyon tak pahuchane me humari madad kar rahe the.

Mai jab yaha aaya tha to, mere pas sirf ek bag tha. Lekin ab jaati samay mere pas 4-5 bag ho gaye the. Kuch bag me mere khud ka kharida hua saman tha to, kuch bag me yaha se mila hua saman tha.

Kuch hi der me, hum sab ke bag alag alag gaadiyon me chada diye gaye. Fir maine aur mehul ne dada ji ke pair chhu kar un se aashirvad liya. Uske bad hum log unse vida lekar alag alag gaadiyon me 4 baje airport ke liye nikal pade.

Ek car me aakash uncle, padmini aunty aur mohini aunty the. Dusri car me seeru didi, selu, aru, hetal didi aur nikki the. Teesri car me barkaha didi, neha, riya aur nitika the.

Chauthi car me nisha bhabhi aur shikha didi, mai aur priya the. Panchvi car me rajesh uncle, mehul, raj aur hitu the. Jab hum log mumbai aaye the. Tab hume station par lene ke liye sirf raj aur riya hi aaye the.

Tab hum station se unke ghar tak taxi me aaye the. Lekin aaj hume raj ke ghar se airport tak chhodne ke liye, 5 gaadiyan aur itne saare log ja rahe the. Jinme se har ek ke sath, mera ek gahra rishta sa jud gaya tha.

In me se har ek ke sath mujhe dili lagav ho gaya tha. Aisa hi kuch shayad mujhe lekar un sab ke sath bhi tha. Jiski gawahi mujhe vida karne ke liye, un sabka airport tak aana de raha tha.
