Update 66
Shighrapatan
Subah ka pehla pehar tha ye aur aaj Sunanda ji ki aankh samay se pehle he 4 baje khul gai thi. Ajeeb se bechaini me woh bister se uthkar apne kamre se bahar chalti aangan me aa gai. Abhi andhera tha aasman me aur yaha aangan me ek safed bulb jal raha tha jis se kone me bane bathroom aur galiyare tak roshni thi. Bathroom me jaa kar nityakriya se faarig hone ke baad unhone snaan liya aur saaf saree pehan kar tulsi me paani daalne ke baad seedhiya chadti dusri manjil par chali aai.
60 baras paar hone ke bawjood woh abhi tak sharir se ek bharpoor stree thi, kahi bhi umar ki wajah se kamjori ya dheelapan najar nahi aata tha Sunanda ji par. Aur jis tarah se woh seedhiya chadh kar upar aai thi toh saaf pata chalta tha ke abhi tak woh urja se bhari thi. Tehalti hui woh apni dono bahuo ke kamre ke aage se gujarne lagi toh Pooja ke kamre ka darwaja aadha khula aur batti jalti dekh unhone wahi rukte hue sarsari najar andar daali.
Bade bister par Pooja akeli ast-vyast si leti hui thi. Nighty jaangho se upar thi aur saamne sirf kapde ki belt bandhi thi. Dono stann bahar ko nirvastra jhaank rahe the.
'Ye jaane kab badi hogi? 22 baras ho gaye shaadi hue lekin abhi tak sone tak ka tarika nahi aaya.', Halki muskaan ke sath unhone darwaje ka dusra palla band karte hue apne kadam chatt ki taraf jaane wali seedhiyon par badha diye. Upar thandi hawa me khuli chatt par tehalte hue woh is khamosh subah ko dekh rahi thi. Aaj koi 2 mahine baad woh yaha upar aai thi toh har taraf jitna dikh raha tha dhyaan de rahi thi. Suraj ugne me toh kaafi samay tha lekin saadhe 4 baje aasman me ab kaala andhkar na tha.
Chalti hui woh chatt par woh kamre ke upar wale hisse ki taraf aai toh ek ujla safed kapda cement ki tanki ke neeche wale khali hisse se jhankta dikh gaya. Sunanda ji ne utsukta vash ghutno ke bhaar baith kar us kapde ko bahar nikala toh woh ek safed chaadar thi.
'Ab itni laparwah ho gai hai ye sab ki saaf suthri chaadar bhi yaha guthmuth padi dikhai nahi deti inhe. Maili ho gai hogi aur jaane kab se rakhi hai.', Chaadar ko sahi tarah se sametne ke liye unhone usko failaya toh ek gehra dhabba najar aaya uske thik beech me.
'Kharab ho gai hai toh fenk deni thi, ye jagah hai koi rakhne ki.', Dhabbe ko jaise he dhyaan se dekha toh chehre par asmanjas ke bhaav aa gaye. Fir se chaadar samet kar woh sadhe kadmo se neeche chal di. Jab dusri manjil par pahuchi toh neeche wale aangan me apni jethani Anjana ji ko bathroom jaate dekh apne kadam wahi rok liye. Unke andar jaate he woh kuch soch kar rasoighar ki taraf chal di.
Roshni me jab us ujali chaadar par woh bhoora sukha hua khoon ka dhabba aur veerya ki papdi jami dekhi toh maatha thanka gaya Sunanda ji ka.
"Is ghar me ye sab. Kisne kiske sath kia hoga? Monu Rinku toh nahi ho sakte, jinko khud hosh na rehta ho woh kya karenge. Bittu ruka he kab toh uska bhi sawaal nahi paida hota. Bas Manohar bacha peeche lekin ye kunwari ladki kon hui bhala?" Woh udhedbun me jitna soch sakti thi utne anumaan lagati kapde par kadak hui jagah par ungliya fira rahi thi.
"Nahi. Manohar apni pauti ke sath aisa hargiz nahi karega. Woh jaisa bhi hai lekin rishto ke poori izzatt karne wala insaan hai. Prakash ki itni himmat nahi aur woh chatt par aaj tak nahi gaya toh ye kiska kaam ho sakta hai?", Tabhi rasoighar me nahaa dho kar Sangita chali aai. Apni saas ke haath me pratham milan ki gawah us chaadar ko dekhte he chehra safed ho gaya jo Sunanda ji se chipp na saka.
"Sangita beti, tumhe kuch kehna hai is baare me?", Chaadar ko sangmarmar ki slab par rakhti Sunanda ji ne dheemi lekin sakht awaaj me Sangita se poochte hue darwaja andar se laga lia. Sangita ka toh dil jaise dhadakna he band ho gaya tha unki baat sunkar. Rasoighar me 2 minute tak khamoshi rehne ke baad Sangita ke fafak kar rone ki awaaj ne jaise mahol ko bhang kia. Sunanda ji anushashit mahila thi lekin unhe apni bahuo par bhi poora bharosa aur naaj tha.
"Tum bata sakti ho jo bhi tum jaanti ho iske baare me. Jo bhi hoga usko kadi se kadi saja milegi lekin tumse kuch nahi poocha jayega. Bas un dono ka naam bata do.", Sar par hath ferti woh shayad ye soch rahi thi ki kuch jabardasti hua hoga aur Sangita jaanti hogi wo kon the.
"Maa ji.. ye mera he hai.", Mooh saree ke pallu me chupati woh apni peeth Sunanda ji taraf karti itna bol kar fir se rone lagi.
"Ye kya keh rahi ho Sangita? Tum kaise? Aur kiske sath? Lekin tum?", Sunanda ji bhochakki reh gai Sangita ka kabulnama sunkar. Diwar ke sath rakhe stool par baith kar woh jaise sunn padd gai thi. Sangita ko bhi apni maa samaan saas ki awaaj fir na aai toh woh ghabrati hu mudi aur unhe aise baithe dekh unke ghutne par hath rakh roti hui boli.
"Ha maa ji. Ye mere he komarya ke nishan hai. Mere pati mujhe aurat naa bana sake the 3 saal tak. Aurat banana toh dur unhone toh aajtak mujhe thik se hath bhi nahi lagaya. Aap jo saja dena chahe mujhe manjoor hai. Chahe ghar se nikal dijiye ya gulami karwa lijiye main uff nahi karungi. Bas mujhe maa ban-ne ka sukh chahiye tha isliye main khud ko rok naa paai.", Aansuo se Sangita ne unka ghutne ke upar ka vastra bhigo dia tha aur apna jurm-galti khud kabool kar li thi.
"Baat poori nahi bataai tumne bahu. Saja tabhi nirdharit hogi jab mujhe pata ho ke aisa kon sa shakhs is shehar me paida ho gaya jo hamare khandan ki izzatt ke sath hamare ghar me he khel gaya. Tumhe baad me saja milegi lekin pehle us insaan ka naam batao jisne khud he apni barbadi likh di hai.", Gussa apne charam par tha aur jabde bhinch chuke the Sunanda ji ke ye sunkar ki Sangita ne unke ghar me he ye ghatna anjaam de di aur kaise kabool bhi kar rahi hai.
"Aap chahe toh mujhe maar dijiye lekin main naam nahi lungi unka. Aur agar aapko abhi bhi samajh nahi aaya toh main saaf keh deti hu ki mere pati namard hai lekin jisne mujhe apne aurat hone ka ehsaas karwaya woh mere liye sabse badhkar hai toh unka naam main batane se rahi. Maar dijiye ya nikal dijiye ghar se.", Apne aansu pochne ke baad Sangita ne sard aur halki awaaj me apni saas ko jawaab dia aur darwaja kholti bahar nikal gai.
Sangita par jaise junon sawar ho gaya tha Sunanda ji ke mooh se ye sunkar ki woh us insaan ko barbad kar dengi. Lekin bahar nikalte he Anita ne unka hath pakda aur apne sath he andar le aai wapis. Anita ne sabkuch sun lia tha bahar khade ho kar, beshak andar se awaaj dhimi aa rahi thi lein khamosh vatavaran me sun-ne layak swar toh the he.
"Maa ji aapko sach me mehsoos nahi ho raha didi ne jo dard saha hai teen saalo me? Har raat sharaab ke nashe me jeth ji ka aana aur fir din nikalte he najre fer kar bahar nikal jana. Inki koi itcha nahi ya inhe aurat hone ki saja mili hai.? Aap bhi toh ek aurat, maa aur pariwar ki badi hain, kaisa lage ke aage aapka koi vansh na ho aur sab aapko banjh kahe. Koi aapke pati se sawaal nahi kar sakta kyonki woh toh mard hai. Maaf karna mere shabdo ke liye lekin hum dono ki he shaadi aise vyaktiyo ki sath karwa di gai jo purush he nahi hai. Saja toh pehle he mil rahi hai itne saalo se lekin ghar se bahar toh izzatt nahi kharab ki pariwar ki. Mujhe bhi wahi saja dijiye jo aapne didi ke liye sochi hai.", Sangita aur Anita ne is ghar me 3 saal kisi aur ko kaam nahi karne diya tha aur poori jee jaan se subah se raat tak sabka khayal rakha. Kabhi jabaan tak nahi kholi thi kisi ke saamne lekin aaj woh sar uthaye khadi thi apni saas ke saamne.
Sunanda ji ne ek pal Anita ko dekha aur phir khud he najar neeche karte hue boli.
"Ye baat tumne hamare sath nahi ki? Koi hal nikal sakta tha jis se izzatt bahar nahi jaati.", Swar me bharpoor dukh tha unke. Sach he toh keh rahi thi woh ki agar pati purush he na ho toh fir naari hona toh ek abhishap jaisa hua. Kaun galat aur kaun sahi ye fainsla mushkil tha lekin sath he pariwar ki aabru ka palda bhari tha.
"Chote Pitaji aur choti maa ji ko toh pata he hai sab kuch. Sath he bade pitaji aur sabhi didi ko khabar hai is baat ki ke ghar ke dono chote suputra kitne kabil hai. Aapko kaise nahi pata fir? Kya hal nikalti maa ji aap? Aapka hal bata dijiye aur main naam bata dungi.", Anita neeche baith kar unka haath thaam kar kehne ke baad chup ho gai. Sunanda ji ne gehri saans lene ke baad najre jhukaye he kaha.
"Ghar ki izzatt ghar me rehni chahiye thi main yahi kahungi. Galti hamari hain ki tumhara rishta apne aise beto ke sath kia lekin tum dono samajhdar ho, padhi likhi hone ke sath he sanskari bhi ho. Bas ye is tarah nahi hona chahiye tha. Aurat adhuri he hoti hai bina-aulaad ke aur baanjh ka tamga koi aurat apne sar nahi lena chahti. Lekin dil me tees sirf is baat ki he hai ke jis tarah hua hai woh thik nahi hua. Kal ko woh insaan kuch bhi kar sakta hai, koi najayaz maang ya harkat kar sakta hai aisa insaan. Ek bache ke liye fir na jaane kitno ke saamne izzatt utaar de.", Sunanda ji ka dil bharr aaya toh aankhe bhi bhar gai.
"Maa ji, itna bhi jameer mat giraye hamara ki hum aisa kuch karengi jo baat ghar ki ijjatt tak jaye. Ye aapke he pariwar se hai aur shayad sabse samajhdar aur sahi maayne me pyaar ki samajh rakhne wala purn-purush.", Anita ne jaise gujarish karte hue unka hath dabaya.
"Aur maa ji ye sab sirf aur sirf aulaad ke sukh ke liye he kia gaya hai, koi jismani itcha ke adheen nahi. Is chaadar se bada saboot kya hoga ki 3 saal tak komarya ka bojh sambhal ke rakha lekin ye is ghar me he rahi."
"Tejpal toh nahi..", Sunanda ji ne dusre hath se Anita ka hath dabate hue kaha. Aankhen abhi bhi namm thi.
"Arjun.", Itna kehti Anita ne sar unki goad me rakh dia aur Sangita bhi unka hath pakad kar neeche baith gai. Is ek shabd ko sunte he Sunanda ji hairat me padd gai sath he awaaj bhi jaise band ho gai thi unki.
"Aap bas us insaan ko kuch nahi kahengi maa ji. Hum dono ke liye ab woh hamare pati se badhkar hai. Beshak aapke liye woh ek bacha ya ladka he hoga lekin sach kehti hu ki aurat ko izzat aur pyaar dene me us se badhkar insaan koi nahi ho sakta.", Sangita ne bhi apni saas ki khamoshi ko samajhte hue sachaai bataai.
"Chai banao aur apni sehat ka dhyaan rakho.", Bina kuch aur kahe woh khadi hone ke baad dono ke sar par pyaar se hath rakhti bahar nikal gai. Saamne ke galiyare me he Arjun sirf pajama aur baniyaan pehne paseene me bhiga kasrat karne ke baad neeche jata dikha. Sunanda ji ne bhi pehli baar apne dohte ko munder se khade ho kar nihara. Kaisa faulad sa tagda jism, chaudi tarashi hui chaati, maansal bhujhaye aur chamakta hua gora-gulabi chehra.
Arjun ko dekh kar koi bhi ladki-aurat najarandaaj nahi kar sakti thi. Sunanda ji ne uski nadaan surat dekhi toh swatah se chehre se pareshani gayab ho gai.
'In bechariyo ki kya galti hai jo mere is rajkumar mar waari gai.', Unhe shayad sabse ajeej Arjun he tha, apni beti Rekha se bhi jyada. Kaise bas uske naam se he unhone dono ko maaf kar dia tha. Lekin mann me uthal puthal mach gai thi bas ye sochkar he ki 2 jawaan aurat kitni tareef kar rahi thi ek kam-umar ladke ki. Samajhdar hai ye toh unhe bhi pata tha lekin koi aurat jab purn-purush kahe apne se 10 saal chote ladke ko toh laazmi hai ki woh khaas toh hoga he.
"Maa kaha thi aap? Kamre me dekha aur bahar bhi. Lekin aapka toh koi pata he nahi chala.", Rekha ji apni maa se gale lagte mili toh unhone bhi apni beti ke gaal choom kar sar par hath fera.
"Rasoi dekhne gai thi ki sambhal bhi rakhti hai meri bahuen ya sab bikhra rehta hai. Lekin tu itni subah tayaar kaise hai.?", Apni jethani ke paanv ke hath lagane ke baad Sunanda ji bhi wahi takht par baith gai aur sath he Rekha ji bhi.
"Tayaar kaha maa bas aankh samay se khul gai toh naha kar neeche aa gai. Pooja ke mummy-papa ne bhi jana hai toh socha ke thoda samay se faarig ho jau."
"Aur ye Pooja abhi tak neeche nahi aai?", Ye baat Anjana ji ne kahi thi. Unki baat sunkar Sunanda ji ko subah ka drishya yaad aa gaya.
"Aa jayegi didi, tayaar ho rahi hogi. Somya bitiya, teri maa abhi tak neeche nahi aai?", Sunanda ji ne jethani se baat karte hue jab neeche utarti apni poti ko dekha toh puchne lagi.
"Maa ke bukhar hai thoda daadi. Bas abhi aa rahi hai neeche dawa lekar.", Sunanda ji ka maatha thanka ye sunkar ki aaj Pooja ke bukhar chadh aaya hai. Pichle din unki dono choti bahu bister pakad gai thi. 'Hey bhagwan kahi idhar bhi Arjun toh nahi? Un dono ki toh majburi thi lekin kahi Pooja.' mann me ye sab sochti woh seedhiyo par he najar lagaye dekhne lagi.
Rekha ji apni taai ji aur Pooja ji ki maa se baat karne lagi thi, jo ab tayaar ho kar aa baithi thi waha. Unki gaadi ka driver attachi uthata bahar chala gaya tha gaadi me rakhne.
Aur fir seedhiyon se dhimi chaal me sambhal kar aati Pooja par najar padte he Sunanda ji ka shak yakeen me badal gaya. Har kadam rakhte hue chehre par kuch pareshani aa rahi thi Pooja ke aur dhyaan se dekhti Sunanda ji ne us maathe ki shikan ko bakhubhi padh lia tha.
'Toh isliye aise padi thi ye bhi. Ye ladka kis raftaar se jaa raha hai?', Mahol ko dekhte hue unhone chup rehna he uchit samjha. Aaj Arjun ki teesri subah thi yaha unke ghar aur teen bahu uske neeche aa chuki thi. Fir unki najar naha kar bahar nikalte Arjun par padi jo ek halki saleti tshirt aur kaali jeans me tha. Ghungrale geele baal ungliyo se thik karta woh unki taraf aaya aur sabhi bado ke paanv choone ke baad ek kursi par baith gaya.
Mamta maami bhi uske peeche he ek bada gilaas aur woh laddu liye aa gai.
"Lo beta aur araam se peena thoda garam hai doodh.", Mamta maami ne muskurate hue uske sar par hath rakha lekin Sunanda ji ko toh apni chauthi bahu bhi Arjun ke bister ki raah jaati dikhne lagi thi. Arjun ne apna dhyaan laddu par lagaya aur Rekha ji ne jaise usko yaad dilaya.
"Araam se nahi jaldi khatam kar. Teri mausi raah dekh rahi hogi bus adde jaane ki."
"Ye choddne ja raha hai kya Saroj ko? Saroj kaha ja rahi hai itni subah?", Sunanda ji ne apni beti se poocha.
"Woh Manju ka rishta pakka ho gaya hai toh jijaji unke he gaanv hai. Saroj bhi wahi jaa rahi hai maa.", Sangita sabke liye chai aur biscuit le aai jo takht par rakhne ke baad bina kuch kahe wapis chali gai.
"Atcha. Waise isko jyada bahar mat bheja kar. Najar lag sakti hai idhar kisi ki bhi.", Ab kya kehti woh bhi apni beti se ki ghar me toh ye apni sabhi maamiyo ka number laga chuka hai, Mamta bachi ho shayad. Ab kahi bahar na kisi par chadh jaaye.
"Naani, meri maa ka pyaar har najar se badhkar hai. Unke hote toh mujhe kuch hone nahi wala.", Arjun ne uthte hue apne maa ke maathe par pyaar kia aur waise he naani ko karne ke baad muskurata hua galiyare me gayab ho gaya.
"Dekh lia aapne isko. Bilkul bacha hai abhi.", Rekha ji apne bete ki najar waarti apni maa se boli. Sunanda ji toh andar tak bechain ho gai thi uske sparsh se. Aaj unhe Arjun ka aise pyaar jatana bhi kuch aur he laga. Fir sab khayaal jhatakti woh bhi muskura di.
"Aaj byaah de na tere laal ko toh agle saal teri goad me bacha rakh de. Apne nana se lamba ho chuka hai woh aur tujhe bacha dikhta hai. Haan nadaan hai thoda duniyadari se lekin atcha bacha hai.", Ek tasalli thi unko ki Arjun ne ye sab unhi ke sath kia jo byaahi hui thi aur unki itcha ke sath. Unki potiya toh sab saamne he hansti khelti dikhi thi. Matlab saaf he tha ke sab majburi me hua hai.
.
.
"Maa tayaar ho rahi hai andar. Tum unhe choddne ke baad wapis yahi aa jana.", Manju ne darwaja kholne ke baad usko apne sath andar le jaate hue kaha. Najre bata rahi thi ki woh kitni khush thi lekin chehre ko sapaat he rakhe thi jaise woh hamesha logo ke saamne rehti thi. Arjun bhi toh sabhi ki najro me Manju ke liye ek naya he vyakti tha.
"Soch lo. Kahi meri maa aa gai idhar toh fir ho gaya hamara kaam.", Arjun ne sofe par baithne se pehle chetawani di lekin Manju aankh maarti andar chali gai.
"Maa, Arjun aaya hai aur baithak me aapka intjaar kar raha hai.", Thodi unchi awaaj me ye keh kar woh rasoi me chali gai aur 2 minute baad he Saroj ji ek halke rang ke suit aur uske sath ka dupatta liye baithak me aa gai. Unhe aise ghar jana tha jaha jawaan maut hui thi isliye saade kapde se behtar kya pehnawa hota. Fir bhi Saroj ji ek bhare-poore sharir ki sughad mahila thi aur ye salwar kamij bhi unke dono khaas jagah thik se kasa hua tha.
"Chale beta? Yaha se 10 minute toh lagenge he kam se kam.", Ek kapde ka kala bag liye woh baithak me Arjun ke saamne aai toh Arjun ne bhi paanv ke haath lagaya. Saroj je ne aashirwad dene ke baad usko gale lagate 'Sada khush raho' kaha aur ek muskaan deti uske sath he bahar nikal aai.
Manju upar wali chatt par khadi Arjun ko motorcycle par baithte dekh rahi thi.
"Ghar ka dhyaan rakhna aur koi shararat nahi. Shaam tak wapis aaye toh thik nahi kal subah aa jayenge. Teri mausi ko bol dungi agar nahi aa sake toh.", Arjun ke peeche baithne se pehle unhone chatt par khadi apni beti se kaha jo kapde sukhane wali taar par chaadar daal rahi thi.
"Atcha thik hai maa. Dhyaan se jana.", Itna bolkar woh dusre kapde uthane lagi aur Saroj ji Arjun ke peeche baith apne gantavya ki taraf chal di.
"Yaha se right le lena. Right he kehte hai na sajje haath ko?", Sadak par dekhne ke chakkar me woh apna seena Arjun ki peeth par daba rahi thi aur Arjun bas chupchap muskura raha tha.
"Kyo taang kheench rahi ho mausi? Maa ne bataya tha ke aap dono college sath he gai hai.", Arjun kahi disha me ab mukhya sadak par aa gaya tha.
"Aur kya bataya hua hai Rekha ne? Mujhe bhi toh pata chale.", Ulte hath me bag tha toh unhone apna seedha hath uske kandhe par rakhte hue najar saamne he rakhi.
"Yahi ki aap dono shuru se he sath rahi hain. Aapka ghar yahi hai pas me he aur mausa ji ke bhai ke sath he aapki choti behan ki shaadi hui hai, jo ##### ganv me rehte hai.", Arjun sadharan jankari he de raha tha jo uski maa ne batai hui thi.
"Hahaha. Ye toh sabhi ko he pata hai. Lagta hai teri maa tujhse jyada baat nahi karti.", Saroj ji ke chehre par kutil muskaan thi.
"Nahi mausi. Aisa bilkul nahi hai. Meri maa mujhe bahot kuch batati hai lekin abhi aapse pehli baar he mila hu aur upar se maa ke sath in dino jyada baat nahi hui na toh jitna unhone bataya wohi ganimat hai.", Arjun ko bhi atcha lag raha tha unse aise baatein karna aur unka Arjun ke sath yu chipakna.
"Teri maa ab bilkul bhi waisi nahi rahi jaise woh college ke samay thi. Haan bas swabhav aaj bhi uska wahi hai. Saaf, pyaar se baat karne wali aur samajhdar. Lekin pehle toh woh ye samajh le ki rajkumari thi jaise. Tere teeno nana ki jaan basti hai abhi bhi teri maa me. Ghumne, kitabe padhne aur ek se ke kapde pehan-ne ke sath he masti bhi bahot karti thi woh.", Saroj ji toh jaise 25 saal peeche chali gai thi.
"Maa bilkul iske ulat ho gai hai mausi. Waha hamare ghar me woh subah 5 se raat 10 tak toh sabka khayaal, khana banana, saaf-safaai me nikal deti hai. Maine toh yaha tak suna hai ki unhone jo bolna bhi shuru kia hai thoda bahot woh bhi mere ghar wapis aane ke baad.", Arjun motorcycle ko ab bilkul he dheemi raftaar se chala raha tha. Usko apni maa ke baare me sabkuch jaan na tha jis se woh unhe aage woh har khushi de sake jo woh chahti hai.
"Rekha bahot bholi hai waise is liye jyada baat nahi karti kisi ke sath. Aur kaam karna shayad usko pasand hai tabhi toh aaj bhi 30 se ek din upar nahi dikhti. Yaha main 4 mahine choti hu teri maa se lekin abhi se 50 paar lagti hu.", Saroj ji ne jaise baat ka rukh he modd dia tha .
"Kaha mausi. Ab khud ko itna boodha bhi matt kaho. Aap aur maa makeup bhi nahi karti fir bhi lagta nahi ke 20-21 saal ke bache honge aapke.", Arjun ne bhi socha ke jaisa woh chahti hai waisi he baat karna thik hai. Lekin Saroj ji ki muskaan thori lambi ho gai thi khud ki tareef sunkar.
"Chal ab tu mujhe chane ke jhaad pe chadhane laga. Kaha woh gori-gulabi aur kaha main kaali-kaluti. Upar se dekh jara meri toh ladki ka bhi byaah hone laga.", Saroj ji ka rang chamakdar genhua tha aur chehra bhi bilkul saaf. Manju ko aankhen bhi jaise maa se he mili thi. Kaali aur badi khoobsurat.
"Mausi aap meri taang kheench rahi hai na.? Maa ka rang maan lia ki gora hai lekin aapka swarnim hai. Khud he dekhiye is subah ki roshni me aap kaise chamak rahi hai.", Gol sheeshe me unka muskurata chehra niharte hue Arjun ne kaha toh unhone bhi uski najar ka rukh kia jaha woh unhe dhyaan se dekh raha tha. Halki laali aa gai thi unke chamakte gaal par.
"Saamne dekh kar chala. Baat karni padegi Rekha se ki uska munna bada ho gaya hai aur apni mausi se he chuhal karne laga hai ab. Jaldi se dekh le koi tere liye.", Unko bhi maja aa raha tha Arjun ki baato se. Dono ab bus-stand ke bahar pahuch gaye the.
"Yaha mat rok. Seedha wahi le chal jaha bus rukti hai. Adde par jyada bus nahi aati toh gaadi-scooter kahi bhi laga sakte hai.", Unhone Arjun ko stand ki taraf he chalne ko kaha. Arjun bhi baat maante hue andar ki taraf jaate marg par badh gaya. Haryana parivahan ki safed-neeli kuch bus khadi thi apne nirdharit stand par lekin 12-13 stand wale is adde par mushkil se 4 he bus thi aur unme se bhi 3 band thi.
"6 number hai apna lekin waha abhi bus nahi hai.", Unki baat sunkar Arjun ne adde par lagi gol ghadi ko dekha jisme 6:10 ka samay ho chuka tha.
"Mausi hamari bus nikal gai hai. Dekho jara ghadi ki taraf.", Arjun kuch pareshan ho gaya tha ye dekh kar ki dhimi raftar ki wajah se usne mausi ki bus nikalwa di.
"Arre toh isme kya baat hui? Waha ke liye toh bahot bus hai. Ruk jara.", Itna kehti woh utarkar ek conductor se baat karne lagi aur fir 1 minute me he wapis chali aai.
"Woh bus bhi wahi se jaayegi aur nikalne wali hai. Atcha main seat leti hu tu apna khayaal rakhna aur ho sake toh jaate hue Manju ko bhi lete jana.", Sar par hath ferne ke baad ek baar Arjun ko gale lagaya aur 2 stand dur khadi us bus me baith gai. Unke baithte he conductor ne seeti bajai aur bus nikal chali.
"Shukar hai bhagwan ka.", Arjun itna keh kar wapis ghar ki taraf chal dia. Aaj usko apne nana ke sath mandi bhi jana tha aur woh 8 saadhe 8 nikal jaate the. Abhi sava 6 ka samay tha toh usko koi jaldi nahi thi. Lekin thodi raftaar se motorcycle chalte hue woh 10 minute me he wapis Manju ke ghar ke bahar aa khada hua.
"Isko andar khada kar lo.", Shayad woh pehle se he baithak me Arjun ki pratiksha kar rahi thi aur motorcycle ki awaaj sunte he gate par aa khadi hui. Arjun ne bhi muskurate hue Manju ki taraf dekha aur motorcycle ko andar diwar ke sath khada karne ke baad chupchap andar chal dia.
"Aah.... Ab sirf hum dono hai yaha.", Darwaja atche se band karte he kisi jonk ki tarah woh Arjun se lipat gai. Manju ko itna betab dekh kar Arjun ne bhi usko baahon me bhara aur dono anaar pakadte hue uske gulabi honth peene laga. Naram tshirt aur reshmi pajame ke neeche usne kuch nahi pehna tha jo Arjun ko uske stann pakadte he pata chal gaya tha. Nipple kitni der se uttejit hue kathor hue pade the ye saaf pata chala jab unki chubhar usko apni hatheli par hui.
"Tum sach me pagal he ho.", Arjun ne 2 minute baad honth alag kiye toh dono ke honth he geele ho chuke the. Manju ki aankhon me tej chamak aur Arjun ke liye sirf pyaar bhara tha. Woh bhi halke halke uske chuche dabata is kaamuk ladki se juda khada tha.
"Ab jisne pagal kia hai wahi ilaaj kare mera.", Itna kehne ke sath he Manju ne uske kandhe par daant gadate hue apni choot ko Arjun ki jeans me phule hue hisse se ragadna shuru kar dia. Patle kapde me uski gadraai choot Arjun ko bhi uksane lagi thi. Stanno ko chodd kar usne dono hatho me Manju ko reshmi mulayam kulhe pakad liye. Unhe masalte hue woh apna lund bhi Manju ki geeli hoti choot par daba raha tha.
"Mujhe pata hai ke tumhe mere ye bahot pasand hai. Lekin inke liye tumhe 2 hafte rukna padega. Shaadi ke baad yaha bhi apna naam likh dena.", Arjun ki aanhon me dekhti Manju ne apni gaand ki qurbani ka samaya bhi nirdharti kar dia tha. Chehra uttejan se garam ho kar laal ho chuka tha uska. Arjun ne bhi deri na karte hue uska pajama neeche kheench dia aur Manju ne woh patli tshirt bhi ek taraf uchaal di.
Gurutvakarshan ko chunoti dete uske kade santre ab hawa me saans le rahe the. Damakta mulayam sharir ab nirvastra Arjun ke saamne tha. Usne bhi kuch sochkar apni tshirt utaar di sath he Manju ne jeans kholte hue Arjun ko bhi apne samkaksh kar dia. Ek lambi charhari khoobsurat yuvti aur dusra majboot sharir ka uske liye tayaar yuvak. Sach me he dono ek dusre ke purak he the.
Manju ne Arjun ki aankhon me dekhte hue chatt ki taraf sar uthaye motte lund ko pakada aur neeche hoti thik supade ke saamne aa gai. 2-3 baar aage peeche karte he kaam-raj ki chiknaai se woh tamatar sa supada phool kar samne aa gaya.
"Ye sach me bada pyara hai. Bas pehli baar darr laga tha lekin ab main chati hu ye hamesha mere andar he rahe. Aah.. ", Dusre haath se apni choot par ungli karte hue Manju ki siskari nikal gai. Supade par thook tapkate uske honth qayamat lag rahe the. Aur uska dhime dhime hath chalana aaj Arjun ko bardasht nahi ho raha tha.
"Isko andar he karte hai. Jyada samay nahi hai.", Kisi phool ki tarah Manju ko upar uthate hue Arjun ne baithak me rakhe diwan par litaya aur taango ko failate hue kuch pal us sindhuri aur kaamras se bharpoor choot ka didar karne laga. Baal-vihin aur malai si naram choot dekhte he swatah Arjun ke honth un gulabi patto se ja lage. Atche se mooh me bharne ke baad jaise woh waha bhi doodh choosne laga ho. Manju ki uttejjana charam par pahoch gai thi aur uske sath he woh Arjun ko dhakelne lagi lekin Arjun jaunglee bhalu ki tarah uske shehad ko chatte se chaatne ke baad he hata.
"Chii.. gande kahi ke.", Sharmati hui woh bister par padi najre churane lagi aur Arjun ne hanste hue dono tange apne kandhe par rakh kar uski choot par tikaya aur pyaar se dhakel dia. 10 ghante pehle he chudi choot me aadha lund kaswat se baith gaya.
"Aahhh.. Umm.. Sara kar do.", Aur itna sunte he Arjun ne apne andkoshi choot ki diwar se mila diye.
"Maahh... aaiii.. ek minute bas.. aah.",Himmat dikhati woh Arjun ki baah pakad kar khud ko sambhalne lagi. Sankari choot me woh prachand lund liye gehri saans le rahi thi. Aur choot lund ko jakde jaise kabhi juda na hone ka wada karti dikh rahi thi. Arjun ne dono anaar mutthi me bharte hue jhuk kar Manju ko chooma, sath he halke se lund bahar nikal utna he aage kar dia. Choot ne bhi is lund ko maalik maan lia tha jo uski taal par jald he taal milane lagi.
"Sach kahu Manju. Ek tum ho jo mujhe jhel leti ho. Jaise iske liye he ye tumhari saheli bani hai." Supade tak lund choot me lagatar fisal raha tha. dono he maje se aahe bharte hue ek dusre ko kaat-choom rahe the. Thodi der baad Arjun neeche aur Manju kushalta se uske lund par kudti uski ghudswari kar rahi thi. Dono chuchiya daba daba ke laal kar di thi Arjun ne aur kuch aisa he haal Manju ne Arjun ki chaati ka kar dia tha. Naakhun aur daant ke nishan ban chuke the lekin woh dono he jaise sabkuch bula kar is toofani chudai me lage rahe.
Gaand ke chedd ko ungli se kureda toh Manju dusri baar jhadd gai lekin Arjun binaa ruke ab Manju ko neeche dabate hue choot ke anjar-panjar dheele kar raha tha. Bahar ko dikhte choot ke honth me is bhayankar chudaai se aur phool kar laal ho chuke the lekin chehre par pasine ke bawjood Arjun laga raha. Har dhakka jadd tak pahuch raha tha aur Manju ki cheekhe bata rahi thi ki woh jannat me pahuch chuki thi.
"Andar he daalna.. ahhh.. jor se.. aah.. mujhe mehsoos karna hai.. aahh..maaa..",Arjun ka supada fatne ko hua toh Manju bhi samajh gai ki woh hone wala hai. Aaj woh uska veerya andar mehsoos karna chahti thi.
"Pagal ho?", Arjun ne kandhe pakadte hue dhakke gehre lekin thoda dhire karte poocha.
"Safe hai aaj. aahh..jaisa kaha karo..", Arjun ne bhi 8-10 dhakke aise lagaye ke andkosh jaise choot me he karke hatega. Iske saath he lund ne apna lava ugalna shuru kar dia. Nidhal ho kar woh Manju ke upar leit gaya aur Manju ne bhi apne hontho me uska mooh lekar swagat kia. Taange kamar se lapet woh har garam pichkari ka aanand le rahi thi sath he peeth sehlati usko bade pyaar se choom rahi thi.
"Main itni jaldi baap nahi ban-na chahta.", Arjun ne bagal me karwat lete hue ek anaar sehlate hue Manju se kaha. Wo bhi uski taraf dekhti muskura rahi thi.
"Lekin main toh chahti hu ki tum mujhe jaldi se bhaari kar do. Shaadi ke baad agle he din mujhe tumhare neeche aana hai. Aur main nahi jaanti tum ye kaise karoge.", Abhi baat khatam he hui thi ki bahar kisi ne ghanti baja di. Arjun ghabra gaya lekin Manju hansti hui kapde lekar andar chali gai. Arjun ne jaldi se jeans tshirt pehni aur apni jurab se he chaadar par giri woh 2 safed bunde saaf karne ke baad joote pehan liye. Manju ne dusri taraf ke galiyare se bahar nikal kar dekha jaha gate par Somya khadi thi.
"Kya haal hai tere? Aur ye Arjun ki motorcycle yaha khadi hai.", Somya ne andar aate hue kaha. Arjun bhi unki baat sun raha tha. Manju ki raftaar dekh Arjun ab behtar mehsoos kar raha tha ke shukar hai ladki tej hai.
"Main thik hu bas machine laga rakhi thi pehle kapdo ki aur abhi Arjun ke sath tumhare he ghar aane lagi thi kapde badal kar. Woh baithak me akela he baitha hai.", Somya ko us taraf se woh andar laai aur idhar Arjun baithak durust kar chuka tha. Somya ne pyaar se Arjun ko dekha aur Arjun ne bhi waise he jawaab dia.
"Atcha didi aap aa gai ho toh main chalta hu fir. Aap he leti aana inhe ghar.", Arjun ne itna kaha aur Somya ne bhi sar haan me hila dia. Woh chupchap bahar khisak gaya. Motorcycle ke bahar nikalne ki awaaj sunte he Somya bol uthi.
"Isne 2 din me he tere jaisi sherni bister par kaise laa di? Jhooth mat bolna aur jo bhi hua woh mujhe sab bata atche se.", Manju uski baat sunkar hairaan nahi thi aur fir usne apni kahani suna di Somya ko ki kaise Arjun ne usko shart ke chakkar me pakad lia tha. Woh usi din usko pasand karne lagi thi. Fir mausi ghar aai kal aur raat dono me halk fulka pyaar hua. Subah maa ko bus adde choddne ke baad kaise halaat bane aur dono ye kar baithe.
Somya badi hairani se sab sun rahi thi. Usko vishwas nahi ho raha tha ke uski saheli itni jaldi uske he bhai ke neeche aa jayegi. Lekin usne toh khud dekha tha ke kaise woh neeche leti thi. Bas baatein nahi sun paai thi unki bahar se. Andar toh bahar ki awaaj atche se sunti thi lekin bahar iska viprit tha.
"Yar uska itna bada tha aur tune pehli baar me he le lia? Pata hai Arjun ne chachi ke sath bhi kia tha lekin woh toh 10 ghante bister par padi rahi thi. Kya tera kisi aur ke sath bhi?", Somya kuch soch kar bol rahi thi.
"Nahi nahi re. Aisa hai na ke main uske barabar ki hu sharir me aur khelne ki wajah se hymen-seal waise he toot chuki hai. Shuru me dard hua tha lekin itni lambi paari ke baad dard apne aap he khatam ho gaya. Waise kuch bhi keh tere bhai jaisa mard ho nahi sakta.", Manju ko thodi hairani hui thi ye sunkar ki Arjun ne apni maami ke sath he kar dia tha.
"Waise ye chachi ka kya chakkar hai?", usne bhi utsukta khatam karne ke liye Somya se pooch lia.
"Arre unki kahani badi dukh bhari hai yar. Tujhe toh pata he hai ke unko aulad nahi isliye unhone Arjun ke sath kia. Arjun karna nahi chahta tha aur chaachi me aisi waisi nahi hai lekin aur kya karti. Fir Arjun ghar ka he toh hai aur upar se tu toh pyaar karti hai toh jaanti he hogi kitna atcha hai dil se. Bas ek jagah uski kuch jyada khatarnaak hai.", Sab batane ke baad woh thoda hansi aur Manju bhi nishchint ho gai ki Arjun ne bewajah kuch aisa nahi kia tha. Fir shararat se Somya ka ek ubhar dabati boli.
"Kahi ab tera dil toh nahi aa gaya apne bhai par.?"
"Aauch.. Kya karti hai yaar. Aur main bhai nahi maanti usko.. haan.. Keh deti hu.", Chaati ko sehlati wo thoda talkhi se boli aur Manju uske sar par chapat lagati kapde badalne ka bol andar chali gai.
'Hey raam.. Sach me he janwar jaisa tha uska. Aur Manju kaise maje se le rahi thi. Cheekh toh rahi thi lekin.. uff kya sochne lagi main bhi. Poora nahi lungi kabhi bhi.' Somya khud ko samjhati hui muskura rahi thi aur soch kar he panty me boonde aa gai thi ki Arjun jab uske sath karega toh usko kitna maja aayega. Thodi he der baad dono ladkiya ghar ki taraf nikal chali.
.
.
Har taraf ek jaisi he dukane aur beech me khali sadak ka maidan dekhta Arjun apne nana ji se aniginat sawal karta unki anaaj mandi wali dukaan par pahuch gaya tha. Uska ye pehla mauka tha kisi mandi me aane ka aur yaha ki hawa me bhi anaaj ki mehak thi, jo ajeeb lag rahi thi.
"Beta apne zille ke sath aaspas ke bhi bahot se kisaan yahi apni fasal humko bechte hai jo hum aage apne hisab se bhijwa dete hai. Aur hamari khud ki fasal toh hai he gujara karne ke liye.", Kuch majdur aadmi aur aurat lohe-lakdi ke chaaj se fasal saaf karte hue toodi ki dheri alag aur anaaj alag kar rahe the. Arjun dekh raha tha ke yaha ek alag he duniya hai. Anaaj ka jaise registan tha woh.
"Waise nanaji, yaha kitni dukaan hongi.?", Dono abhi car ke bahar he khade the aur Manoj mama Sohanlal ji ka samaan lekar Prakash ke sath dukaan me chale gaye the.
"Beta hamare pitaji ne jab yaha dukan lagai thi tab 4 he aadhti the idhar lekin ab 226 pakki dukane hai. Sath he Khaad-urea aur kuch khane peene ki bhi hai. Atcha pehle dukaan par chalte hai baaki baatein wahi karenge aur tumhe fir jald he free karte hai.", Kandhe par hath rakh woh 50 kadam dur dukan ki aur chal rahe the aur aaspas se gujarte majdur, kisan, seth unko namaskar kar rahe the.
"Ram-Ram Pandit ji. Sab kushal mangal? Aur aaj apne sabse chote bete ko laaye hai sath?", Ek 55 saal ka saaf kapde pehne vyakti hath milane ke baad Kundanlal ji se bola. Woh Arjun ko bade dhyaan se dekh raha tha.
"Sab kushal mangal hai Gupta ji. Aur ye hai Arjun, mera eklauta naati.", Arjun ne unhe namaskar kia.
"Kya baat karte ho Pandit ji? Humko toh laga ke jawani wale Pandit ji aapke sath aa rahe hai. Bas thoda jyada chauda sharir hai.", Arjun ko bilkul kareeb se dekh kar Gupta ji fir se Kundan ji ko dekhne lage.
"Hahaha.. Gupta ji ghar ka bacha gharwalo par he jata hai. Iske pitaji bhi itne he chaude hai, tum toh jaante he ho apne Shankar ko. Aur haan chehra mere par chala gaya lekin lagta hai lambai upar jaa chuki."
"Arre bhool gaya tha ke Shankar ji damaad hai. Woh hamesha aapke bete he lagte hai na. Unka bacha hai ye. Tabhi baal aur sharir waisa hai. Jug jug jiyo beta. Bhagwaan har bala se tumhari raksha kare.", Gupta ji aashirwad dene ke baad aage kuch kahe bina he chale gaye.
"Toh kya papa aate rehte hai aapse milne?", Arjun ab nanaji ke sath dukaan ke bahar khada tha.
"Haan toh yaha chakkar lagta hai kabhi toh milne aa jate hai tumhare pita kabhi 2-3 mahine me. Lekin zindagi badi vyast hai unki beta.", Ek aah lete hue woh andar aaye toh farsh par paucha lagati ek gramin veshbhusha wali mahila haath jodi apni balti aur kapda lekar nikal gai. Arjun ne jyada dhyaan nahi dia. Woh toh is badi dukaan ya behatar rahega ki bade godaam ke saamne dukan ko dekh raha tha. Aaspas ki sabhi dukaano se doguni chaudi aur peeche tak boriyo se bhari thi. Neeche saaf safed gadde lage the aur ek badi tijori, galla aur television laga tha. Waise he kuch kursiya, ek sofa aur diwan tha. Manoj mama toh aate he jaane kaha chale gaye the lekin Prakash dhoop-batti kar raha tha aur bade nana bhi tijori ke saamne bane chote mandir me hath jodd kar baithe the.
"Munim ji aaj boli me uthwaya kuch maal?", Ek safed kameej aur neeli pant me ye vyakti ek file liye khade the.
"Ji Pandit ji. Wahi 2 dheri abhi saaf ho rahi hai. Hisab-kitab bhi chadha dia hai sabka, diwan par rakha hai. Ye file jo aapne kahi thi banwane ke liye woh bhi tayaar hai.", Kuch kagaj bahar jhaank rahe the us file se.
"Atchi baat hai. File main dekh leta hu tum paise ka hisab kitab dekho aur fir main bataunga baad me.", Kundanlal ji ne woh file lene ke baad Arjun ko apne sath he waha diwan par bitha lia. Dusri taraf he Sohanlal ji bhi baith gaye. Panne palat kar dekhte hue unhone fir apne bade bhai sahab ko woh sabhi kagaz dekhne ke liye file aage kar di.
Sohanlal ji ne chasma lagate hue fir gehrai se sabhi panno ka avlokan kia aur bole.
"Haan sab thik hai bhai. Manohar kab aa raha hai?", Sohan ji ne file band karte hue chasma utara aur gol takiye par tek lagate se baith gaye.
"Woh idhar he hai, Gangaram ki dukan par hoga aur kaha jaana hai. Prakash jara bulakar lana.", Kundan ji ki baat sunte he Sohanlal ji ke chehre par thodi pareshani aa gai. Lekin Arjun ki wajah se kuch nahi bole. Prakash bhi bina deri kiye bahar nikal gaya. Arjun abhi bhi dukaan ko dekh raha tha.
"nana ji, aisi choti almari toh filmo me dekhi hai maine.", Tijori ki taraf ishara karte hue usne apna bade nanaji se poocha. Usko sahi naam yaad nahi aaya tha.
"Haan beta. Apne kaam me tijori hona bhi jaruri hai. Nagad rupaya paisa aur kagajat isme he rakhe jaate hai. Har roj toh bank khulte nahi, thoda bahot paisa jarurat ke samay dena pade toh surakshit rehta hai isme.", Muskurate hue Sohanlal ji ne Arjun ko jawaab dia aur itni he der me Manoharlal ji bhi aa gaye. Chirparichit dhoti aur kurta pehne the.
"Ji bhai sahab.", Aur ek sarkando ka moddha lete hue wahi baith gaye. Sohanlal ji ne bina kuch kahe file aage badhai toh unhone hath jodd diye.
"Kya bhai sahab ab aapko toh pata hai jo bhi aap kahenge wo mere liye patthar ki lakir hai. Kabi kuch galat toh kia nahi aapne.", File Sohanlal ji ne Arjun ki goad me rakhte hue apne chote bhai se kaha.
"Hamari saari baat kaha maante ho tum. Aur beta ye kagjaat hai kuch jo waise toh tumhari maa ke liye the lekin Rekha ne saaf mana kar dia tha toh ab jis cheej ke waris tum ho kanuni tarike se tumhare he naam kar rahe hai. Jaise Kundan kahe waha apne anguthe ka nishan aur naam likh do. Fir ek baar apne chote nana ke sath chale jana aur nigah maar lena un jagah par jinke ye kaagaj hai.
Arjun thoda hairan hua ek ye kya karwa rahe the uske nana ji.
"Lekin agar maa ne mana kar dia toh main kaise ye le sakta hu. Nahi nanaji mujhe kuch nahi chahiye aur waise he mere pas bahot kuch hai pehle se he.", Arjun ke inkaar ko sunkar Kundanlal ji hansne lage.
"Beta, Rekha ne apne naam kuch nahi karwana, woh chahti hai ke usko milne wala sabkuch tumhare naam ho aur tum apne anusar aage apni behno ko dena chaho ya pada rehne dena chaho woh tumhari itcha hai. Aur itna kuch nahi hai isme bas kuch kaagaj jyada hai.", Arjun ne unki baat sunkar haan me gardan hila di. Koi 9 ke laghbhag angethe ke neel nishan aur utni he baar apna naam likhne ke baad Arjun se unhone sab kaagaz le liye.
"Aisa hai beta is dukaan se jo bhi munafa hota hai uske 5 hisse hai. 4 tumhare mama ke aur ek Rekha ka jo abse tumhare khaate me jaayega. Khet ki jameen ka ek tukda pehle he tumhare naam ja chuka hai toh uske baad baaki jameen me ye tumhare hisse ke 15 ekadd jameen rehti hai lekin uska bantwara nahi hoga. Bas waha se jo bhi aaye hogi uska ek bhaag tumhe milega. Tumhare 4-4 dastkhat inhi jayedad ke hai aur ek kagaj me likha hai ki agar aage koi waris nahi hota dukaan ka, matlab tumhare mama logo ke baad toh uski dekhrekh bhi tumhare upar rahegi. Jaise agar kisi ke bhi koi waris na hua dukan aur jayedad sambhalne ke liye toh ye dekhbhal tumhe karni padegi agar tumhare mama gairhazir hai toh.", Kundanlal ji ne sabkuch ek he saans me keh dia aur Arjun hairani se unhe dekhne laga.
"Nanaji, aapko lagta hai ke aap thik kar rahe hai? Matlab abhi aap log hai, fir sabhi mamaji hai aur aage Somya didi, Kanchan aur Swati hai. Kuch samay baad dono choti maami ke be bache honge. Ye vasiyat bewajah hai aur fir ye bhi sochiye ke main he agar kal ko kahi chala jau ya khud ka he kaam karne lagu toh ye zimmedari nahi nibha sakunga.", Manoj mama ka sar jhuk gaya tha aur Manoharlal ji ke sath unke dono bade bhai bhi apne dohte ko dhyaan se dekh rahe the.
"Kismat ka kya keh sakte hai. Aur agar aage waris aata hai toh atchi baat hai. Tumhe dukaan par thodi baithna ha, isko koi bhi dekh sakta hai lekin agar kabhi aisa waqt aata hai toh bas uske liye ye likhwaya hai. Bhagwan kare tumhari baat sahi nikle. Ghar me waaris paida ho aur fir wo aage ye sab sambhale.", Kundanlal ji itna bolte hue apne bhatije Manoj ko dekhne lage jo bahar chala gaya tha.
"haan toh sahi baat hai. Kal ko agar sabhi bacho me tumhi bade ho toh koi jhagda nahi karega na. Waise bhi pariwar me kisi cheej ka bantwara kabhi hoga nahi isliye bas unhe kamai ka barabar hissa milna hai jo tum kahi bhi rehkar dekh sakte ho. Abhi toh 30-40 saal tumhare mama log hai aur 10 saal toh hum bhi kahi nahi jaa rahe.", Manoharlal ji dehati the lekin baat bhi maje ki karte the. Arjun ne bhi dil rakhne ke liye ye baat maan li ki kabhi aksmaat kuch ho jaye dono chote mama ko toh woh unke pariwar ko dekhega.
"Abhi ye chota hai aur kaam hum log he dekh rahe hai toh hisab batane ki jarurat nahi lekin college jane lagega toh isko sab samjha dena Kundan. Ya fir Monu ye jimmedari lega. Rameshwar ji ke pas pehle he Sanjeev hai toh kuch haq toh hamara bhi hota hai ispar, jab aur koi hai he nahi hamare ghar me. Kal ki kal dekhenge, Arjun mana toh karega nahi agar koi chota bhai milta hai isko aage apne mama se.", Sohanlal ji bhi thode majaak me kehne lage. Sabhi muskura diye the.
Mama chai aur thanda lekar aa gaye the dukan par kaam karne wale ladke ke sath. Sabhi ko chai dene ke baad Arjun ne bhi thanda peeya aur waise he thodi jaankari lene laga apne nanaji se. Manoharlal ji chupchap khisak liye jab kuch log unke bade bhai se milne waha aaye. Munimji bhi Sohanlal ji ko kuch hisab kitab dene lage the. Arjun ne mandi dekhne ki itcha prakat ki toh Kundanlal ji ne bhi usko aaspas ghumne ka keh dia lekin sath he jaldi wapis aane ko bola kyonki koi vakil sahab ko unhone bulwaya hua tha.

10 baje kaafi chehal pehal thi har taraf. Kahi tractor-trolly khade the kahi Tata canter or truck. Har dukaan ke bahar khali maidan si jagah me fasle saaf ho rahi thi ya dhoop lagwai jaa rahi thi. Dukano ke saamne wale galiyare me ghumta hua Arjun kauthul vash har cheej ko dhyaan se dekh raha tha. Kuch chote umar ke ladke idhar-udhar chai pakda rahe the aur kahi gaanv ki dihadi wali aurate sharir laparwahi se kiye anaaj saaf kar rahi thi. Jinhe driver ya waise he log taad rahe the. Arjun thoda muskurata hua ab dusre galiyare me aa gaya jaha ek chai ka khokha tha aur fir waisi he dukane thi.
'Gangaram & Sons' naam likhi dukaan ke pas se gujar he raha tha toh whai aurat najar aai jo unki dukaan me safaai kar rahi thi jab woh aaya tha. Lekin abhi uske kapde thode ast-vyast the aur Arjun ke saamne se gujarti woh apna kameej chaati se thik karti Arjun ko dekh najre fer kar barabar se nikal gai.
Dukan ke muhane pahuchte he uske chote nana ne bhi Arjun ko dekhte hue awaaj lagai. Woh wahi baithe hue apne dost se baat kar rahe the aur sath he dhoti ke upar kurta thik kar rahe the.
"Arre beta jara idhar toh aao.", Unki baat sunkar Arjun bhi us dukan me aa gaya. Yaha bhi saamne ki taraf 2 gadde, tijori, aur chota lakdi ka counter laga tha gaddo ke gird. Nana ki umar ka he ek vyapari sa dikhta halke sharir ka vyakti bhi baitha tha jisko Arjun ne namaskar kia.
"Ye apne dohta hai MaangeRam bhai. Aaj dukan dikhane bhai sahab liya laye aur abhi kuch der me mere sath he wapis jayega. Aur beta ye hamre param mitra aur tumhare bhi nana samaan he hai.", Woh aadmi bhi zindadili se Arjun se mile aur wahi apne pas bithaya.
"Bhai Manohar ladka toh 16 aane khara hai tumhara naati. Bhai sahab se bhi 21 he lag raha. Toh beta abhi kya karte ho?", Prashansha ke bhaav the unki jubaan me aur Arjun ke sath he Manoharlal ji bhi muskura diye.
"Ji abhi toh gyahrah kaksha me hua hu. Abhi school khule nahi the toh kuch samay ke liye sabse milne aaye the.", Arjun ne tehjeeb se jawaab dia. Maangeram ji ne thanda-garam poocha lekin Arjun ne inkaar kar dia.
"Beta aaj mandi ka chana-kulcha kha kar dekho, yaad karoge ke kabhi kuch aisa khaya hai. Seetu, jara 3 kulche ki plate banwa ke lana.", Dukan ke bahar khade yuvak ne unki baat sunkar haan me sar hilaya aur nikal gaya.
Manohar ji jaane kaisi baatein kar rahe the jo Arjun ke palle nahi padd rahi thi lekin kuch her baad woh ladka kaagaj ki teen plate me gol bread ke beech bhare chane wale kulche lekar aa gaya. Nana ji ne pehle Arjun ko dia fir ek khud lia aur sath he unke mitra ne bhi ek kulcha lete hue Seetu ko bhi apne liye khaane ko keh dia.
"Waah nana ji. Ye sachmuch atcha hai. Waise main bahar ka kuch bhi nahi khata lekin aise chole maine kabhi nahi khaye.", Arjun ne jaise he ek hissa khaya usko woh chatpata aur garam kulcha bhaa gaya. Uski baat par dono hans diye.
"Tabhi toh keh raha tha beta. Ye shehar me 2 he jagah atcha milta hai. Sarkari college ke bahar ya hamari mandi me.", Kuch he deir baithe the ki fir waha par Manoj mama aa gaye unhe bulane. 11 baj chuke the abhi toh Manoharlal ji ne bhi apne dost se hath milate hue vida li aur Arjun ne namaskar karte hue. Maangeram ji ne 100 rupaye shagun ke taur par Arjun ko jabardasti pakda diye.
"Yar jara idhar apni dukan par bhi reh lia karo kabhi mahine me ek-aadh ghanta.", Kundanlal ji ne apne chote bhai ke aate he kaha. Lekin Manoharji bas muskura diye jaise unhe dukan se koi matlab na ho. Wahi ek safed kameej me chasma lagaye vakil sahab baithe the.
"Beta jara in 2 kagaj par bhi dastkhat kar do. Aur vakil sahab baaki aap dekh lena kya kaise karna hai. Ye abhi kuch samay fir nahi aa payega.", Sohanlal ji ne paise ginte hue kaha aur fir wapis saamne baithe vyakti ki taraf ho gaye. Rupaye gin-ne ke baad aadmi se ek bahi-khaate me dastkhat karwaye toh woh aadmi hath jodd kar paise leta chala gaya.
Arjun ne bhi hare rang ke un lambe kaagaj par dastkhat kiye toh vaikil je ne bata diya ke itna bahot hai. Ab jarurat padi toh bata denge lekin filhal sab thik hai.
Arjun bhi fir apne chote nana aur Manoj mama ke sath bahar aa gaya.
"Manoj beta, pehle mujhe khet chodd do aur wahi se Arjun ghar chala jayega Kailash ke sath. Thodi der reh lega apne kheto me bhi.", Mama ne bhi haan me sar hila diya aur ek baar fir se apne tauji ko bol kar woh dono ke lekar nikal liye.
"Mamaji, aap kabhi fursat nahi lete kya dukaan se?", Arjun kuch sochkar bola tha. Gaadi me woh apne mama ke sath aage baitha tha aur chote nana pichli seat par.
"beta, yaha konsa kuch bada kaam karta hu main. Bas halke kaam he rehte hai ya thodi der gaddi sambhal leta hu. Aur chutti lekar karna bhi kya hai?", Arjun aage kuch nahi bola. Woh kehne laga the kabhi maami ki ghuma laya kijiye lekin apne nana ki wajah se chup ho gaya. 15 minute baad woh khet ke saamne khade the.
"Atcha pitaji main chalta hu aur agar aate hue kuch yaha pakda ke jana ho toh bata djiye.", Manoj mama ne bhi gaadi se utarte hue kaha.
"Haan, ek hari wali pakda dena beta jab samay lage. Aur thoda bhune kaaju mile toh dekh lena.", Unki baat par Manoj ne haami bhari lekin Arjun fir se soch me padd gaya ke ye hari wali kya cheej hoti hai. Lekin mama ke jaane ke baad usne apne nana se pooch he lia.
"Arre beta angreji me toh "Sinature" kehte hai bhisky ki us bottle ko lekin main yahi kehta hu. Raat aise neend nahi aati toh 2 ghoont laga leta hu khaane ke sath.", Unhone Signature sahi se nahi bola tha lekin Arjun ko samajh aa gaya tha ke woh sharaab ki he baat kar rahe hai. Muskurate hue woh pagdandi par unke sath chalta wahi aa gaya jaha Anita maami ke sath khana lekar aaya tha.
Aaj bhi bahot se log kheto me kaam kar rahe the lekin is taraf kamre ke pas ek 35-36 saal ki aurat pani ke pipe par jhuki bartan saaf kar rahi thi. Uske latakte chuche dekh kar chote nana ke chehre par chamak saaf dikh rahi thi Arjun ko aur woh muskurate hue chupchap sath chalta udhar aa gaya.
"Leela, jara kamra bhaar dena mera. Thoda araam kar leta hu aur Munni ko keh do ke Arjun bete ko saamne wale khet dikha laye.", Kamre me chale gaye Manohar ji bina he Arjun ko dekhe aur is aurat ne mooh banate hue ke taraf awaaj di toh us din wali ladki he Arjun ko aati dikhi. Thoda jhijakti hui woh us aurat aur Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Phulo wala bhoora kameej aur khuli bhoori slawar pehne, munni ne duppatta seene ke saamne se kamar par bandha hua tha.
"Haan phupho ke kaam se?", Munni naam ki us ladki ne Leela se pucha. Rishtey me shayad woh uski bua lagti thi isliye Phupho keh kar sambhodhit kar rahi thi.
"Kuch na ri. Tu jara chote maalik ko agle khet dikha la main yaha dhaar utaar du.", Ye baat kuch alag tarike se us mahila ne kahi thi. Lekin ab Munni ke chehre par woh nirasha na thi jab usne suna ki chote maalik ko khete dikhane le jana hai.
"Haan toh ibbi le jaati hu. Thaam karo kaam maalik ka.", Aur fir Arjun ko hath se sath chalne ka kehti woh aage chal nikli aur yaha Leela jhadhu uthane ka naatak karti kamre me nikal chali.
'Maalik ke hai yo aadmi shighrapatan se. Khamkha chadhe aur chadhne se pehle ulat de hai.' Dheemi awaaj me Munni ne ye kaha. Usko laga tha ke Arjun shehri ladka hai toh peeche hoga thoda lekin Arjun uske dupatte ke pas he tha.
"Shighrapatan?", Munni ye awaaj sunte he chonk gai thi. Aadhe raste ke beech me rukk kar woh thodi dari si Arjun ko dekh kar jaise saja ka intjaar karne lagi. Yahi toh milti thi usko apne maalik se.
