Update 4
"Din dhall gaya.. hikkk.. raat rangeen hai.. hikk.. masti ang ang me... mahol sangeen hai.. hikkk..", Ye adhed sa vyakti jo kheto ki medh paar karke andhere me akela he masti me jhoomta hua gaanv se bahar ja raha tha, wo Sarpanch Karam Singh ka mitra Bijju he tha. Sharaab ki adhikta kaho ya is gaanv ka purana jaankar jo idhar he paida hua aur pala badha. Jaat se swarn aur aukaat se raees Bijju jism se bhi desi bhainsa he tha. Poore Paatan gaanv me ye bhainsa agar kisi ke saamne jhukta tha toh wo sirf Jaanki devi he thi lekin unke saamne jhukna iski majburi. Atchi khaasi upjau jameen, khoobusurat biwi, ek beta aur ek beti wala badhiya pariwar tha Bijju ka lekin Karam Singh aur iske karam andhere me itne bure the ki shayad he koyi gareeb mahila jo in par aashrit thi inse bachi ho. Par aaj maamla kuch aur he tha kyonki dopehar me Bijju ne gaanv se bahar wali taraf Laali ko nehar me snaan karte jo dekh liya tha. Bas tabhi se Laali ka kamsin jism, bhola chehra aur wo kaamuk drishya Bijju ke dilo dimaag par haavi ho chuka tha. Isme atyadhik ijafa desi sharaab aur Bhanwri ke sath Karam Singh ke sansarg ne kiya.
"Aye.. kaun hai be udhar.? Sala main Bijju hu Bijju, sher se bhi nahi darne wala. Hikk.. kidhar gaya be?", Halki hichkiyan leta hua Bijju us saaye ko dhoondne laga jo khule maidaan me he uski najro se aujhal ho gaya apna ehsaas karwa kar. Wo darne ki jagah idhar udhar usko talashne laga jisne uski raah me vyavdhaan daalne ki jurrat ki thi. Parantu udhar koyi hota toh dikhta. Syaah kaali raat me bas taare he timtima kar kuch prakaash dikha rahe the, chaand toh aaj bhi nadarad tha. Gamche se chehra saaf karta hua Bijju bade gor se chahun aur dekhne me laga tha aur aage badhte badhte wo nehar ke kinaare aa ruka jaha ek kataar se ghane vriksh jaise behte paani ko saheje the. Bijju ek vriksh ke tane par hath tikaye is jhurmutt aur thandak bhari jagah par har bharsak koshish kar raha tha us saaye ko talaashne ki.
"Eh.. pata nahi sala kaun is biyabaan me apni maiyaa humse chudwane aaya hai. Ae Laali, tayaar reh saali. Aaj tere amrood pilpile na kiye toh mera naam Bijju jamindaar nahi.", Nasha lagbhag utar he chuka tha is bhagdaud me aur jab talaash khatam hui toh maksad yaad aaya. Nehar kinare he toh usko aage badhna tha lekin is waqt Bijju gaanv se bahar ki taraf aa pahucha aur puliya idhar se koyi aadha kos dur. Bijju kutilta se muskurata hua nehar kinare he aage badhne laga. Uske khayaalon me ab sirf aur sirf Laali he thi aur kaise wo us masoom ko bhogne wala tha. Par ek baar fir se Bijju ke kadam thithke jab ek vriksh ki aut se ye mahila aakriti nikal kar uske aage he chalne lagi. Ek hath me lauta aur dusre me patli si chhadi ghumati wo apni he dhun me aise chal rahi thi jaise usko na koyi darr ho na parwaah.
"Ae suno tum..", Bijju ne jaise he us aage chali naari ko awaaj di, uske kadam turant thithak gaye. Gale me liya dupatta apne sar par karte hue wo itni aahista se palat rahi thi ki kareeb pahuche Bijju ki dhadkan swatah he badhne lagi. Patli dubli si kaya aur aise sar jhukaye khade hone se Bijju jyada kuch na dekh saka sirf chamakte hue laute ke. Par ab Bijju itne sameep khada tha ki wo uski sharirik sanrachna ko bhali-bhanti dekh pa raha tha. Ausat kad ki ye kaya koyi mahila na ho kar kamsin yuvti he thi jiske chehre ki laaj toh andhere me na dikhi par seham chuki thi ye Bijju ne jarur dekha.
"Ji.. Ji maalik.", Yuvti ke larajte hontho se bas yahi shabd ubhre aur uski meethi awaaj sunn kar Bijju ki aankhon me shaitaani chamak. Bijju toh bas uske aanchal se neeche ubhre hue seene par aa ruka. Wo golaaiyan jaise adhpaki si thi ya unhe paushan ki darkaar.
"Tum.. Tum itni raat me idhar akeli kya kar rahi ho? Ghar me bhai-behan nahi hai agar shoch tivra lagi thi?", Spasht shabd bolte hue Bijju apne hontho par jeebh phira raha tha jaise uske saamne ek yuvti na ho kar ke koyi pasandida pakwaan saja ho. Par ek baat jis par Bijju ne gor na kiya wo tha us yuvti ka aise ekaant me bhi sehajta se uske saamne khade rehna.
"Baapu toh kal he gujar gaye maalik aur bhai bahot chhota hai mera. Apne kaam ke liye amma aur bhai ko pareshani dena sahi na laga. Par maalik aap itti raat gaye enha biraane me?", Vivran sunn kar Bijju ki dhoti me toh uthaav hone laga tha kyonki yaha toh khud shikaar he uske paas chala aaya.
"Tum Chhagan ki bitiya Laali ho na? Hum tumhara dukh aur dard bhali bhanti samajh sakte hai. Sarpanch ne toh upar se aur bura kiya tumhare sath jo gaanv nikala de diya. Par ab tum Bijju ki sharan me ho jaha koyi dukh nahi milega par thoda dard mil sakta hai.", Bijju laar tapkata hua apne hath se us yuvti ka sar sehlate hue patle gaal par hatheli tikaye uski komalta ka ehsaas apne bhitar bharne laga. Yuvti ek pal ko toh kaanp he uthi par jaise wo bhi atche se jaanti thi ki bhaagne ya eitraaj karne ka natija uske paksh me nahi jaane wala.
"Ji maalik hamare baapu Chhagan ka kal dehant ho gaya tha jungle wale chaurahe ke paas. Par aap is bakhat yaha?", Laali aage bolte bolte jadd he reh gayi jab uski hansli (kandhe ki haddi) se rengta hua Bijju ka sakth hath kathor stann ke upar aa ruka. Kameej ke patle se kapde ke niche koyi anya vastra na tha aur aise kachhe stann ka tanaav aur uske akaar ko mehsoos karte hue Bijju ne wo poora maans apni mutthi me qaid he kar liye. Laali peeche hatna chahti thi par ab toh Bijju ka dusra majboot hath uske ghaghre par thik gol nitambh ko majbooti se thaam kar apni taraf khinchne laga.
"Is bakhat toh main tere he paas aa raha tha meri kabootari. Aahhh.. Tu kitni namkeen aur rasbhari hai ye tujhe kaha pata meri Laali.. Tujhe dopehar me jab nehar me nahate dekha tabhi soch liya tha ke aaj raat ko tera sara meetha ras aur namak jeeb bhar ka chakhunga. Uff.. lagta hai teri chuchi tune bhi kabhi dabaayi na hogi. Chodna toh main teri maa aur baaki behno ko bhi chahta hu par tere aage wo bhi feeki he lagi re Laali..", Bijju kitna balshaali tha iska saboot is se he milta tha ki Laali ke pichwade ko hath se dabate hue usne is masoom ko pratdwand ke bawjood apne sang jodne ke baad kuch upar utha liya. Laali dard se cheekhna chahti thi lekin kuch soch kar wo dard sehti hui Bijju ki manmaani aur baatein sunti rahi. Wo abhi bhi uski kachi kunwari chuchi ko hatheli me daboche hua tha.
"Aahhh. maalik.. mujhe jaane dijiye.. Dekhiye agar kuch anarth hua toh main zinda nahi reh sakungi aur peeche mera pariwar bikhar jaayega maalik.. Daya kijiye..."
"Hahaha.. Tujhe toh main na marne dunga aur na khudse dur jaane dunga.. Tera pariwar bhi main sambhal lunga ri Laali.. Teri chhoti behan ko bhi ek marad ki jarurat padegi aur teri maa.. ab tere baapu ke marne ke baad usko bhi toh raat me ek majboot aadmi ki jarurat rahegi? Dekh mera ye danda tere sath sath teri maa aur behan ki bhi jarurat kaise poori karta hai.", Nehar kinare, is andhkaar aur biyabaan me Bijju us masoom ko ghaans aur mitti ki satah par daboch kar letata hua ek hath se uski dono kalaai pakde aur dusre se ukhi ghaagri ko kamar tak chadhane ke baad patli taango ke beech aise baitha tha ki Laali hilne dulne par bhi jaanghe band na kar saki. Jaangho ke beech hath firate he Bijju ne halke reshmi baalo ka ehsaas paya aur ek chhoti si band lakeer.
"Maalik ye thik nahi hai.. Aahhhh.. jaane dijiye na maalik.. Main barbaad ho jaungi."
"Tum saale XXXXX bane he hamare bhogne ke liye ho. Tumhare marad toh hamari majduri karte ghiste rehte hai aur tumhari aag bujhani padti hai hum jaise jamindaaro ko. Lekin dhanyawaad ki jagah tum ulta hume he aabru lootne wala batati ho.. Aahhh.. saali teri toh surang me ungli bhi nahi ja rahi.. Maja aayega tujhe masalne me.", Lekin ab Laali ne ekdum se hilna he band kar diya tha aur jaise he Bijju apni dhoti hata kar uske upar jhukne laga usne dekha un safed aankhon ko jo us par he tiki thi. Itni sard muskurahat aur aisi aankhen jinme putli na ho kar bas doodhiya sphatik si roshni he thi. Bijju ek hath se lund aur dusre hatho se 2 kalaai thaame tha lekin ab uske hath me Laali ki kalaai toh kya khud Laali uske neeche nahi thi. Poora jism aise sihar utha jaise kisi ne uski meru me pighalta lava bhar diya ho.
"Bhog.. Bhog.. Bhog..", Teen bar ye shabd Bijju ke kaano me kisi shool se chubhe aur wo awaaj aisi jaise kayi kadam dur se aayi ho, behti hawa sang. Khamosh vatavaran me ulluon ki tej cheekh pukhaar bhar uthi jaise unke ghonsle par kisi ne humla kar diya ho. Kauve bhi kaanv kaanv ka rudan karne lage the aur behte paani me tap tap karke jaane kya kya gira jisne Bijju ko apni sthiti aur mahol ka bhaan karwaya toh uska antarman dehal utha. Wo nehar kinare jhuka hua jaise paani me apni chhavi dekh raha ho lekin uski chhavi ki aankhen... wo aankhen toh jaise kisi shaitaan ki thi.. sphatik si safed aur chamakdar. Bijju cheekhna chahta tha lekin uski jubaan ne sath na diya. Kaunve aur Ullu ab paani ke upar idhar udhar mandrate hue is manjaro ko atyadhik khaufnaak bana chuke the aur unke rudan ne jaise Bijju ko duniya se alag thalag he kar diya.
"Hey bhagwaan.. Bacha le.. Main paagal ho jaunga.. Bacha le bhagwaaaaannnnn..", Uske mooh se aakhir me jo shabd phunte unme bhagwaan shamil tha par kya is adharmi aur haivaan ki awaaj un tak pahuchne ki taqat rakhti thi? Jaise is waqt toh Bijju ke ishtdev bhi us se kinara kar chuke the. Kauvve andhkaar me udaan nahi bhar sakte par wo bechare jaane kis se bachna chahte the aur aise he kaanv kaanv karta hua ek kaak Bijju ke chehre se aa takraya. Kacch se uski aankh ki putli ko bhendta hua wo Kaak poor chonch bhitar fansaaye ajaad hone ke liye fadfadane laga. Us se jyada tadafna Bijju ka tha jo chinghadta cheekta hua idhar se udhar bhaagne laga. Koyi is drishya ko agar ujaale me bhi dekh leta toh hridyagati he ruk jaati. Chatpatata hua ek haivaan manushya jiski aankho me kala kaak apni poori chonch dhansaye khud bhi ajaad hone ki koshish me laga hua. Aankh se jaldhara ki taraf rista rakt aur pashu panchiyon ka aisa dil dehlane wala kolhal. Wo kauvva kismat se ajaad ho gaya aur chonch bahar nikalne par hue aur adhik dard se paagal hathi sa daudta Bijju us keekar ki motti daal se takrata hua behti paani me ja gira. 'Chhapaak' ki awaaj ke sath jaise baaki har dhwani awaaj par purn-viraam sa lag gaya.
"Bhogi ka bhog.. hahaha..", Ye meethi lekin dil dehlau khanakti awaaj us yuvti ki thi jo apni choti ko hath se pakad kar hilati hui paani ko niharne ke baad chamm chamm paayal chann kati hui andhere me aur aage badhti chali gayi jab tak uska aavran andhkaar me vileen na ho gaya. Bijju ka jism paani ke upar lauta he nahi jaise sachmuch uska bhog jaldhara ko arpit kiya gaya ho. Bas kumkum ke sthaan par tilak uske swaym ke rakt ka tha aur upasana ki jagah panchiyon aur uska apna rudan. Wo sthaan jaha Bijju gira tha, kya wo bhi adrishya chauraha tha ya raha hoga?

Bhor hone me abhi jaise kuch he samay shesh tha lekin Gulaabo aaj apne samay se pehle he uth khadi hui. Kamre se bahar khuli chhat par kadam rakhte he thandi hawa aur dhire dhire dhumil padte andhkaar ne uske jism ko taro-taja kar diya. Chehre par anyaas he is khoobsurat drishya aur thandak bhare ehsaas se prakritik muskaan ubhar gayi. Dur kshitiz me aasmaan aur prakriti abhi bhi aapas me jude se dikh rahe the. Gulaabo ko prakriti ke beech he jaise apne jiwant hone ka poora ehsaas hota tha aur aisa he haal abhi tha. Nange paanv wo khuli chhat par tehalti hui bade gilaas se paani ghoont ghoont kar peeti munder se bahar shaant sadak aur dur dur bane gharo ko niharne lagi. Is samay chalti thandi hawa uske patle jism ko dhakte dhile salwar kameej ko bhi apne veg se hilati hua rom rom ka sparsh karke apne hone ka adhbhut ehsaas karwati rahi. Gulaabo ne apne bhoore baalo ko khol kar unhe bhi is ehsaas ke liye ajaad kar chhoda. Nitya subah khaali peit paani peene ki aadat usko Jaanki amma se lagi thi aur aisa he Kavita bhi karti thi, jiska dhyaan aate he Gulaabo palat kar kamre ke bagal wale hisse ki taraf dekhne lagi toh apni he jagah jadd c reh gayi.
'Oh baap re. Ye bhaiya aur mutalli toh pati patni ki tarah soye hai, khuli chhat ke beecho beech.', Gulaabo ka hath uske mooh par he aa tika aise najaare ko dekh. 5-6 kadam duri par bichhawan bhale he 2 the par Chandan apne naam ko sarthak karke jaha ek vriksh sa pada tha wahi Kavita naagin si us par lipti hui poori tarah uske jism par leti thi. Dekhne ko toh ye dono bas so he rahe the lekin Chandan ke dono hath Kavita ke maansal kulho par itminaan se araam karte hue jaise khudko haqdaar bata rahe ho. Bhare bhare jism ki Kavita ka yu majboot aur lambe chaude Chandan par lipat kar sona Gulaabo ke liye toh ek tagda jhatka he tha. Hosh me aati hui wo jab sadhe kadmo se inke kareeb aayi toh sabse pehle najar Chandan ke chehre par gayi jo neend me bhi muskurata laga aur Kavita uske seene par baaya gaal dabaaye aise soyi padi thi jaise Chandan kahi us se dur na chala jaaye. Phule hue gaalo ke bawjood Kavita ke chehre par neend me bhi ek anoothi chahat aur sukoon sa tha jaise aaj he wo itminaan se soyi ho.
'Badi amma ne dekh liya toh jawaab dete na banega aur ye dono toh maje se aise soye pade hai jaise miya biwi apne band kamre me. Aur is mutalli ko itna bhi hosh nahi ki iska ye bhaari pichwada kaise ughda pada hai? Hey bhagwaan ab isko jagau ya badi amma par najar rakhu?', Gulaabo ne gor se dekha toh Kavita ki salwar kuch niche khisak kar kulho ke uthaan par fansi thi jaha se wo kasi hui lakeer ungli ke paure jitni bahar aur kurti chikni peeth tak upar khiski hui. Kuch soch kar Gulaabo dabe paanv he niche nikal chali jahan Jaanki Devi bhi apna bister tyaag kar usko neeche seedhiyon se aage khule aangan me taambe ki gadwi se paani peeti dikhi.
"Pranaam badi amma. Aap aaj jaldi uth gayi?", Unke charan sparsh karne ke baad diwar me dhansi khoonti se apna neela dupatta utha kar gale me leti hui Gulaabo ne nityakram ke liya prithak rakha apna lauta utha kar paani bharte hue poocha jaise wo unki toh le rahi ho. Jaanki Devi bhi daatun naram kar rahi thi.
"Mere liye bhi bhar de bitiya. Neend toh atchi aayi rahi lekin mausam me badlaav aur halki thandak se aankh apne aap he khul gayi. Atchi baat hai na ki samay se uth gaye. Teri choti amma toh apne samay he uthegi. Waise teri mutalli ko neend aayi ya wo phir usne fir se tujhe sataya?", Dheela khaadi ka kurta aur ghaghra pehne Jaanki Devi hamesha si jiwant he thi itni subah. Unke sawaal par Gulaabo mann me he bolne lagi.
'Neend toh usko bharpoor aayi hai lekin aapne dekh liya toh aapki neend na udd jaaye. Mutalli ne ab bhaiya ko sataya hai ya bhaiya ne usko, ye toh baad me puchungi main us se par hua toh jarur hai kuch na kuch.'
"Na badi amma, raat ko hum dono he thaki rahi aur naye kamre me toh hawa bhi badhiya aati hai isliye neend bhi gehri rahi. Main jara pehle so gayi thi isliye pata nahi ki Kavita kabtak jaagti rahi. Haan bhaiya jarur chhat par bichhawan daale hume soye mile the. Chaliye shauch se ho kar fir naha lete hai, uske baad aaj kaam bahot hai. Chhoti amma ko mere hath ki he chai pasand hai toh aaj chulha baalna mere jimme.", Gulaabo kitni fikar karti thi Kavita ki ye uski isi baat se saabit hota tha. Subah ka harek kaam apne jimme leti wo Kavita ke araam ko badhane ki he itchhuk thi.
"Tu na kabhi kabhi mujhe Kavita ki badi behan lagti hai aur kabhi uska bhai. Karti bhi tera he sabse jyada hai chahe tu usko sataane ka koyi mauka nahi jaane deti. Raat bhi maine bada samjhaya usko ki sath me bhojan kiya kar lekin kaan pe joon tak nahi rengti uske. Pehle rasoi nibtani hai fir sabko khilana aur aakhir me khud lekin tab bhi rasoi ke bahar andhere me akele baith kar. Kal ko tum dono ka byaah karungi tab kaise gujara hoga uska? Tu samajhdar hai Gulaabo aur atcha bura samajhti hai lekin Kavita badi bholi hai aur duniya ka darr usko ghar me he qaid kiye hai. Har kaam me kushal aur itni khoobsurat hone ka kya faayeda jab hamesha koyi na koyi sahara jaruri lage?", Dono dharam se daadi pauti ghar ka pichla kiwaad khol kar us taraf chal padi jaha prakriti bahutayat me thi aur nehar ka shaant kinara. Gulaabo apni badi amma ki kahi har baat par vichaar karti hui ekdum se bol uthi.
"Bhaiya se he byaah do mutalli ko. Ghar ki ghar me reh jaayegi aur hamesha ke liye majboot sahara bhi mil jaayega.", Jaanki Devi ke toh kadam he rukk gaye Gulaabo ka jawaab sunn kar. Wo thuddi par hath rakh kar aise ghoor rahi thi is shararti ladki ko jaise usne koyi dhamaka kar diya ho par Gulaabo ke chehre par shararat dur dur tak nahi dikhi aur Jaanki Devi wapis chalne lagi jaise unhe aise jawaab ki aasha he na thi.
"Maaf kar dijiyega agar meri baat se aapko dukh pahucha ho toh badi amma. Lekin Kavita ka dukh aap aur main he samajh sakti hai bas. Bhaiya ne bhi dukh jhela hai na choti amma ke sath lekin wo ek majboot insaan hai, dil ke bhale aur samajhdar hone ke sath. Kal Sarju ne phir se raah roki thi mutalli ki jab ye log Laali ki taraf gaye the. Puliya par Sarju ke sath wo muaa Sunil bhi tha jinhe dekhte he mutalli patthar ho jaati hai. Bhadde shabd kahe kal Sarju ne aur paanv bhi adaya Kavita ki raah me.", Ghane hisse me dono chali aayi lekin Gulaabo ki kahi har baat ko sunn kar Jaanki Devi ko Sarju se jyada krodh Chandan par aa raha tha.
"Aur usne ye baat mujhe na bataai? Ye Chandu toh neera maati ka maadhav hai agar uske rehte wo adna sa naaspita itna kuch kar gujra."
"Bhaiya ne toh dono ko he is nehar me patak diya jab Sarju ne hath badhane ki koshish ki. Aur bol bhi diya ki aainda najar utha kar bhi Kavita ko dekha toh wo unhe jungle wale chaurahe par latka denge. Kavita unki jimmewari hai jo unki daadi ne saunpi hai. Raat ko andhere me Kavita is raaste he wapis lauti jaha wo din dhalne par ghar se kadam tak bahar na rakh sakti. Aap he socho badi amma ki Chandan bhaiya ka prabhaav kitna kaam kar gaya us mutalli par.", Iske baad bas dono he ek dusre se dur shauch se nivrat hone lagi. Jab faarig ho chuki toh behte paani aur mitti se hath dhulne ke baad dono ke laute Gulaabo ne wahi nehar kinare he atche se maanje aur hath saaf karke apne dupatte se paunchti hui khamoshi se Jaanki devi se 2 kadam aage chalne lagi.
"Jara thehar toh Gulaabi.", Kayi baar Jaanki devi usko Gulaabi bulati thi jab jab unhe Gulaabo par pyaar aata ya Gulaabo gussa hoti. Gulaabo filhaal bas gambhir thi lekin apni jagah ruk gayi. Apni badi amma ke barabar aane par wo fir se chalne lagi toh Jaanki devi ne uske sar par bade he sneh se hath fera.
"Dekh Chandan mera pauta jarur hai lekin uske jiwan ke fainsle lene ka haq mujhse pehle Anuradha aur khud Chandan ko he hai. Par tujhse apne paute ke baare me jaan kar ab mera bhi mann kehta hai ki rasoi ki chaabi main Kavita ko he saunp du. Tere aur mere chahne se toh ye hone se raha. Ulta kahi Kavita he na bifar jaaye ki main usko apne he paute se bandhne ka soch rahi hu. Chandan ko ghar grehasthi ki samajh nahi hai abhi lekin hum dono apni apni taraf se thodi thodi koshish karte hai. Main pehle choti moti baato se Anuradha ke dil me Kavita ko pakka karti hu aur tu itne toh le Kavita ke mann ki. Isme koyi jaldbaaji nahi karni bitiya kyonki sab sehmat ho us se he rishta banta hai nahi toh nibhana bhi bojh. Chandan raaji ho jaaye lekin Anuradha nahi toh phir musibat. Aur agar Anuradha ke sath sath Kavita bhi maan jaaye lekin Chandan tayaar na hua toh wo isko dabaav he maanega. Tu samajh rahi hai na meri bachi?"
'Aap he nahi samajh rahi kyonki aapko pata nahi hai kuch. Kavita toh 9 maah me goad me bacha rakh de aapke agar un dono ka haal dekh lo.', Ye Gulaabo apne mann me he bol rahi thi lekin uske chehre ki muskaan dekh kar Jaanki devi ko araam pahucha.
"Koyi jaldbaaji nahi aur sab araam se. Main samajh gayi badi amma aur ab aisa he hoga. Lekin agar sab maan gaye toh main sone ki baaliyan loongi rishtey ki badhaai par. Haan nahi toh pehle he keh de rahi hu.", Gulaabo ki maang sunn kar ghar me daakhil hoti Jaanki devi ne usko apni bagal se laga liya.
"Main toh soch rahi thi ki dono hatho me aadha darjan choodiyan pehna du tere, sone ki. Jis din byaah ke jaayegi na tu is ghar se, tujhe Anuradha se 4 guna de kar vida karungi meri bachi. Meri mamta ko jiwit rakhni wali tum aur Kavita he toh ho jab teri choti amma aur bhai nahi the."
"Phir bhi baat jami nahi badi amma. Kavita ka toh sara kharcha bacha he reh gaya. Wo bhi mujhe de do toh main vida hone ka vichaar karu lekin fir bhi sauda ghaate ka hai. Main kahi nahi jaane wali ye ghar ke chhod ke. Na choodiyan pehanti na byaah karwati, bas aapke sath har subah shuru ho aur raat apne kamre me mutalli ko sataane ke sath khatam.", Aangan me aate he sann ki rassi se toliya utaar kar snaanghar ki khoonti par taangne ke baad Gulaabo ne 2 balti paani bhi bhitar rakh diya.
"Aap nahao idhar aur main chali nehar pe wapis.", Jaanki devi ne apne sar pe he hath rakh liya uski baat sunn kar.
"Kabhi kabhi toh tu mujhe mujhse bhi badi lagti hai aur fir tera ye roop dekhti hu toh lagta hai ki abhi bhi wahi 10 baras ki tikhi mirchi hai jo badi hone ka naam he na le rahi. Teri umar me Anuradha ki goad bhare 3 baras ho chuke the aur tu nehar me gauta lagane se hat rahi."
"Main toh chhoti amma ko bhi sang le jau, agar aap tokataaki na karo toh. Aur maine kaha tha ke unka byaah itni jaldi karwao? Bhaiya ke saamne wo unki maa kam aur bahin jyada lagti hai, wo bhi chhoti kyonki bhaiya toh aapse bhi aadha hath upar hai. Aati hu jaldi he.", Ek lambi kameej aur toliya uthaye wo wahi kiwaad se bahar daud chali peeche hare bhare hisse aur taja behte paani ki taraf.
'Ye ladki jaane kab kya kar de. Abhi beti aur naati ko ghar aaye din poora hua nahi aur isne nayi he kahani chhed di. Baat galat bhi kaha hai iski jab apni beti ko xx ki umar me he byaah diya aur uska beta apne nana dada se bhi aadh bilaant uncha ho chuka. Prabhu bas sarv sansaar ko khush rakhe.' Vastra tyaag kar Jaanki devi apne gathile badan par dhoti lapet kar bhor nikalte he nahane lagi. Amuman toh wo is waqt bister tyaag karti thi lekin jaise aaj ye khaas charcha samay se pehle honi likhi thi Gulaabo aur Jaanki devi ke beech. Surya ki kirano se pehle anginat aasha aur sukhad bhavishya ki kirne unke man mastishk ko sukoon de chuki thi.

'Unhhhh.', Kavita kunmunati hui chehra palat ko fir se sone lagi toh Chandan ki aankh uski harkat se khul he gayi. Dono jaane kitne samay se ek he mudra me soye hue the jo abhi tak barkaraar thi. Kavita ke khule bikhre kesh Chandan ke gale kandhe se le kar niche bister tak faile hue. Dono hath uske bagal se seene ki taraf aur apna maansal bhaari seena sakht chhaati par dabaye Kavita toh pehli baar meethe sapno me leen thi parantu jaagne aur Kavita ki sthiti dekh Chandan ka wajood ek alag se ehsaas se bhar utha. Uske dono hath kisi naram gosht si jagah par tike the aur jaise he wo usko tatolne laga, bhaari kulho se fisal kar ungliyan gehri daraar ke strot tak ja pahuchi. Ek badi he naram aur lamas se bharpoor jagah thi jisko dabaane ki itcha apne aap he dil me utpann ho uthi. Par aisa karte he eksath do jagah asar hua. Kulho ke beech ka wo gudaaj naram hissa bas halke se dabane bhar se Chandan ka ardh-supt awastha wala ling buri tarah akad kar ek aur naram si maans bhari jagah dabaav banane laga toh dusra Kavita ke jism me ek tej jhurjhuri si uthi. Chandan ki aankhen toh is naye ehsaas aur anokhe aanand se punah band hui par apne kulho ke sath akshat yoni par ye dohra sparsh hote he Kavita ki unmaad aur sukoon se bhari aankhen dhire dhire poori khul gayi. Kavita ki wo badi badi gehri aur khoobsurat aankhen jinki palke samanya se dedh-2 guna lami aur ghani. Dono jaise swayam me he poori kaayenaat thi aur uska utna he mohak gorvarn bhara bhara sa chehra.
"Ummmm", Bas yahi ek madhur si halki dhwani uske hontho se foonti jab wo Chandan ke upari seene par thuddi tikaye sthiti ko samajhne lagi. Ek pal ko toh usko bas ye swapan sa laga kyonki uske neeche chaadar ki jagah Chandan bicha tha lekin yoni ke beech kuch alag kathor aur garam sparsh mann ko vichlit karke asliyat batane laga. Kavita khisak kar thoda aage hui toh usne wo motta golakar garam sparsh bhali bhanti jaangho ke beech fisalta mehsoos kiya. Chehre par garmi ka prabhaav aur alag si vichlit karti sthiti se wo abhi pashopesh me he thi ki Chandan ke mooh se nikalti apne jaisi sitkaar sunn kar wo seham si gayi. Yahi pal tha jab Chandan ne uske kulho ko thoda kas ke thaam liya aur dono ke najre aapas me mil gayi.
"Main..", Kavita atak atak kar bas yahi ek shabd keh saki thi kyonki khiskakne se ab wo thik Chandan ke chehre ke upar thi aur uske masoom chehre ko niharta Chandan toh jaise kuch kehna bolna he bhool baitha.
"Pata nahi.. neend me galti se.. ye sab..."
"Mujhe bura nahi lag raha Kavita. Tum sachmuch bahot pyaari ho.", Ek yuvak dwara aisi sthiti me apne liye ye shabd sunn kar Kavita bhag jana chahti thi lekin wo swayam he toh uske aagosh me uske upar bichhi thi. Mooh sharam se ferne ki koshish me uska bhara hua daaya gaal Chandan ke hontho se ragad khata hua fisal gaya. Honth kaan ke niche aa ruke toh Kavita buri tarah kaanp uthi lekin Chandan ke nathune me uske kesh aur badan ki khushbu ke sath sath komal chikne gaalo ka wo dilkash ehsaas sama gaya.
"Ye galat hai ji.. Mujhe jaane dijiye.", Aur yahi masoomiyat thi ki Kavita ki har baat ab Chandan ke liye ek aagya samaan ho chuki thi. Uske hatho ne nitambo ko ajaad kar diya lekin Kavita purv-vatt uske kandho ko thaam kar aankhe moonde waise he leti rahi. Ling ka agrabhag uski jaangho ke thik beecho beech daba tha. Ek alag si tapish aur naya sukh Kavita ko jaise Chandan se alag hone nahi de raha tha.
"Maine nahi tumne mujhe pakda hua hai maalkin. Upar kaun hai?", Kavita apne liye maalkin sunn kar buri tarah sharmane lagi thi aur is beech usne kuch jor se uske dono kandho par hatheliya daba di. Par ab alag toh hona he tha. Wo jaise he chehra upar karke uthne lagi toh kshann matra ke liye dono ki najre mili aur Chandan usko pareshaan na karte hue niche dekhne laga toh dhili kurti ke gale se jhaankte 2 shwet aur naram gole uske saamne aa ruke. Kavita ne bhi najro ka anusaran kiya aur fir wo ek pal bhi Chandan ke pehlu me ruk na saki. Dupatta aur bichhavan wahi chhod kar wo sarpat seedhiyon se neeche daud chali. Chandan ko toh sahi se ye maloom he nahi tha ke abhi itna kuch jo hua hai wo aakhir tha kya lekin baithne par jab kamar se niche dhyaan gaya toh uski dhoti bister par bichi thi aur wo purn nirvastra, jaangho ke beech us bhari bharkam ang ke sath jiski lambaai uski swayam ki hatheli se bhi dedh guna rahi hogi.
"Oh.. badi galti ho gayi mujhse toh. Nirvastra hone ka pata he nahi chala mujhe aur yahi wajah hogi Kavita ke aisa vyavahar karne ki. Sirf vivahit stree purush he ek dusre ka ling dekh sakte hai, vyask hone par. Parantu hum dono kya vaysk ho chuke hai?", Apni kamar par dhoti sahi se bandhne ke baad Chandan ne dono ke bichawan samet kar upar wale kamre me he rakh diye. Usko abhi tak prush aur mahila sansarg ka gyaan ratti bhar na tha aur agar thodi bahot samajh thi toh bas utni he ki dono ke beech kya samaan hota hai aur kya bhinn. Kuch waqt chhat par tehalne ke baad wo ye soch kar niche chal diya ki ekaant me Kavita se maafi maang lega.
