wo ishk jo hum se rooth gayaa…
"wo ishk jo hum se rooth gayaa…
Ab uss ka haal batayen kayaa…"…
Ghazal ke shabd iss vairaagy aur mand roshanee vaale kamare mein ras ghol rahe the… kamre mein bina kissi aawaaz ke chalte airconditioner ne maahol ko atishay thand se bhar diyaa thaa…
Sneha… maano jesse uss thand jamaate hue maahol ka hissa bann chukee thee… uss sajje hue kamre mein jahan kee har cheez se samrddhi jhalak rahee thee… kamre mein rakha saagaun kee lakadee se banna hua furniture, chat par laga bada sa Chinese fanoos, farsh par bichaa Iranee carpet; har cheez bahut mehangee aur keematee thee… Sneha ke badan par bandhee reshmee saadhee bhee umadaa quality ke silk se bannee huee thee…
Sneha… jo ke aik rocking chair par virajman… badee see haveli ke… iss thande kamre ka hissa bannee huee… akelee… ghazal ke shabd sunte huee kaheen kho see gayee thee…
Aaj poore 4 saal beet chuke the uss kee shadee ko… hamesha kee tarah… wo tanha thee… apne 3 saal ke bete ko sulaane ke baad woh iss kamre mein aa bethee thee… apne Pati parmeshwar kee muntazir… iss akele kamre mein…
uss ka Pati rajya Sarkar se aaye apnee party ke raajaneetik netrtv kee seva mein laga hua tha… uss ko iss chunaav mein party ticket milne kee apeksha thee…
Magar yeh aaj kee baat nahee thee… keval shadee ke 2 mahine hee theek se guzren honge… jab Sneha ko apnee vivahit zindagee mein anand naseeb hua tha… jis ka parinaam uss ka 3 saal ka beta tha… uss ka Pati kabhee Delhi hota to kabhee rajya kee rajdhanee mein hota… kabhee kismet se shehar mein hota to bhee uss ke paas Sneha ke liye samay naa tha…
Apne Pita ke dehant ke baad to Sneha ke Pati Dev khul ke apnee pushtainee haveli mein hee mujre aur doosree rangeen mehfilen sajaane lage the… woh daaru ko paani kee tarah se peene ka daksh tha… mahila keval uss ke liye aik shareer tha…
Sneha… ke paas keval… bahut saare naukar… dhan daulat kee chamak aur… dher saaree tanhayee thee…
-------------------------------------------------------
Raat aahista aahista apna rang jamaa rahee thee… sham dhalte hee… Purvee kee khaansee mein vrddhi aajatee thee… iss mand roshanee vaale kamare mein rakhee aik lakdee kee khaat par padee bukhar mein tapte badan ko kambal mein samete hue… apne Pati ke aane ka intezaar kar rahee thee… uss ka Pati mohalle ke doctor se khansee ke liye doctor ke apne clinic mein tayaar kiya hua mixture lene gaya hua tha…
Aaj poora 10 din ho chukke the… sham hote hee Purvee ko bukhaar chadh jata tha… aur khansee thee ke rozana badhahtee jaa rahee thee…
Purvee achee tarah se jantee thee ke us ke Pati ke paas itane rupya nahee ke wo uss ka dhang se ilaaj karaa sake… uss ka Pati jo ke uss ke Pita kee hee ghaate mein chaltee printing press mein mulaazim thaa… jis ka kaam uss press mein chappne wale samaachaar patr "Jyoti" mein article likhana aur proof reading karna tha…
Samay ke badalte dhang aur logon ke badalte jeevan shailee ne "Jyoti" samaachaar patr kee maang kahatam kar dee thee aur uss ke jagah mobile phone aur internet ne lelee thee… issee liye wo printing press haani mein chal raha tha… keval itanee hee raajasv hotaa thaa ke do samay ke khane aur doosre kharche poore ho saken aur karamcharion kee vetan adaa ho sake… martay samay Purvee ka Pita… press aur apnee betee donon ko uss ke Pati ke hath mein de gayaa tha… Purvee ke Pita ke dehant ke baad keval itana hee antar aaya tha uss ke zindagee mein ke uss ke 2 kamre ke ghar mein uss ke Baap kee jagah uss ka Pati aa gayaa tha… Purvee ka Pati aik maun vyavahaar wala vyakti he aur bahut kam bolta he… Purvee ko apne Pati se koi shikayat nahee he… un ke milan kee keval aik hee smrti chinh thee… uss kee betee jo 2 saal kee hee umr mein cholera ke kaaran parlok sudhaar chukee thee…
Purvee ko aesa lagta tha ke uss ka Pati uss kee sehat ko lekar chintit he magar rupya na hone ka kaaran uss ka ilaaj theek tarah se naheen kara paa rahaa he…
Purvee ko apne pati ke liye payaar thaa ya naheen magar woh uss ka samaan zaroor kartee thee… dekhne mein ache the… aik handsome mard… baat cheet aur subhaav mein naram mizaaj… kabhee ghussa naheen kiya Purvee par… keval Purvee ka mann bas itana chahta tha ke uss ka pati uss se khul ke baat kare… khul kar donon apnee samasyaen aik doosre se kahen… martay samay Purvee ke Pita ne jab uss ko bataya ke uss kee shadee hone waalee he to woh khamosh rahee yeh bhee naa poochaa ke kis ke saath… aur aik aagyaakaaree beti ke tarah se chup chaap phere leliye…
Purvee ka pati shikshit thaa aur Purvee ne kayee baar sochaa ke apne Pati ko kahe ke Kolkata jaa kar koi nokaree dhoondhe magar kabhee uss kee himmat hee na huee… woh janatee thee ke iss chote se shehar mein aik shikshit ke karne ke kaabil kaam naheen the… bas lede ke aik yeh press thaa aur doosraa kaam thaa Thakur ke haan… Purvee ke sasuraal mein koee naheen thaa… Saas Sasur kaa dehant kaafi samay pehale hee ho chukaa thaa… Purvee ke divangat sasur bhee Thakur ke yahan nokar the… un kee koyee aur santaan thee naheen Purvee ke pati ke siva… aur na hee koyee dhan daulat choda thaa unhon ne… un ka makan kiraye ka tha… to Purvee ka Pati vivah ke baad Purvee ke ghar mein shift ho gaya tha… Thakur ke yahan hissab kitab sambhalne waale muniyam ji ne kayee baar Purvee ke pati se kaha ke woh un ke sahaayak kee haisiyat se kaam karle kyun ke ab woh budhhe ho chuke the… aur unn ko bhee accounts kee dekhbaal ke liye aik helper chahiye tha… aik baar to un ke liye muniyam ji ne Thakur se samay bhee leliya thaa… interview ka haveli par… magar iss ke pati wahan interview ke liye gaye hee naheen…
Aik bar phir se usse khansee ka daura padaa… woh khans khans kar dohree ho gayee… uss ka badan bhee phir se tapne laga tha… shayad bukhaar badh raha tha… uss ka gala sookhane laga tha… uss ne haath aage badha kar paanee ka jug uthane ka paryas kiya magar saphal na ho sakee… uss ka hath na pohanch saka paas rakhe table kee oar… uss ke andar itanee himmat na thee ke bistar se uth kar paanee pee saktee… itanee sakht garmee mein bhee us ke badan mein bukhaar ke kaaran kapkapee thee… kamre mein chalta purana ceiling fan bhee bahut halka chalta tha puraana hone ke kaaran magar woh bhee Purvee ko bhala naheen lag raha tha… uss ke badan kee kapkapee badhahatee hee ja rahee thee…
-------------------------------------------------------
Sneha ko kamre kee thand apnee aatma mein utartee huee mehsoos ho rahee thee… aur usse ab aesa lagne laga tha jesse uss ke badan kaa saara utsaah aur lalak thandaa padta jaa rahaa he… aur aik din yunhee woh bhee barph kee tarah se thandee ho jaye gee aur uss kaa badan zindagee kee garamaahat se khaalee ho jaye gaa…
Zindagee ab bhee kahan thee uss ke andar… kabhee kabhee to usse yun lagta tha jesse ke woh bhee iss yashasvee haveli kee tarah aur iss ke andar rakhe keematee samaan kee tarah se koyee mehangee bejaan see cheez ho… woh bas zindaa uss samay hotee he jab uss ke Pati ko uss kee zaroorat ho…
Ghazal ke shabd uss kee aatma ko jesse cheer rahe the…
"wo ishk jo ham se rooth gaya…
……………………………………..
ik aag gham-e-tanhayee kee…
Jo saare badan mein phel gayee…"…
Aur Sneha bhee ussee tanhayee kee aag mein jalatee huee apne ateet mein kaheen gumm ho gayee…
-------------------------------------------------------
Aaj university mein nayee clasees ka pehala din tha… naye chehre university gate se dakhil ho rahe the… naye rang the jo har disha mein bhikhar rahe the… fizaa mein aik taazagee thee… chehre damak rahe the… har chehre par aik roshanee thee umeed kee… sapne sajje hue the aankhon mein… ladke aur ladkiyan apne doston ke sath hansee mazaak me lage hue the… naye dost bann rahe the…
Pehala week bas yunhee guzar gaya… naye dost bannane mein aur sports ke liye teams banntee raheen… cricket, football, badminton, sabhee sports kee teams banneen… aur sath hee announce hua ke university kee "literary society" ke liye bhee aik committee banayee jaye gee jo ke students kee hogee… aur uss committee ke President the sab kee pasandeeda Professor Madan Lal jee… jo ke Hindi literature ke bahut achhe shikshak hone ke saath aik prasiddh aur lokapriy poet bhee the… unhon ne pehale week mein announce kiya ke jo bhee students "literary society" ke member banana chahen woh apnaa naam register karwaalen… un hee students mein se kissi aik ko Secretary General elect kiya jaye ga…
Sneha jo thee to science student magar uss ko poetry aur literature se bahut ruchi thee… uss ne pehale din se hee apnaa naam likhwa diya member ke liye… aur pehale din hee Rashmee jo ke hindi literature mein student thee uss kee bahut achhee dost bann gayee… aur Rashmee ne hee uss ko amantrit kiya ke woh Secretary General kee post ke liye election mein nomination form fill karwaye aur election contest kare…
Aaj aakhree roz tha nomination form bharne ka aur ab tak kissi ne bhee form naheen bhara tha... keval Sneha hee akelee candidate thee… lekin sham hote hote… Professor Madan Lal ji ne batya ke aik naya student aaj hee aaya he Hindi literature department mein aur uss ne bhee form bhara he election ke liye… Vikrant naam he uss ka…
Aur yun Sneha aur Vikrant aik doosre ke saamne the election contest karne ke liye…
Vikrant aik bohat hee sensitive mizaaj ka ladkaa… zayaada tar khamosh hee rehta tha… poetry kaafi achee karta thaa... issi liye sari ladkiyan members uss kee side thee… wese bhe woh dubale - patale shareer ka lambe oonche 6 feet se zayada height thee… rang bhee saaf gehuna… kul milaa kar kaafi aakarshan tha ladkiyon ke liye…
Rashmee kee bhe khasee dostee ho gayee thee Vikrant se… Sneha ko Rashmee kee dostee Vikrant ke saath achhee naheen lagee thee… 2 baar donon ke beech Vikrant ko lekar bahas bhee ho gayee thee… haan yeh zaroor thaa ke sab ladke members saath the Sneha ke… aur kyun na hote… safed doodh jessa rang… 5.10 kee height… badee badee kajraree aankhen… jin ka kala rang sob ko moh leta tha… lambe baal kamar se bhee neeche lehrate… shareer bhee sundar… har ang poore aakaar ke saath… uss ke hont ke paas aik til uss ke chehre ko adhik dilakash banata thaa… woh poorn roop se sundarata kee moorti dikhatee thee… uss ko bohat garv bhee thaa apne haseen hone par…
Sneha aik ameer udyogapati kee betee thee uss ne elections ko apne liye aik challenge kee tarah se leliya thaa… woh aasanee se jeet saktee thee yadi ladkiyan members bhee uss ke saath ho jateen… uss ne iss ke liye kaafi working kee jis ke kaaran elections waale din yeh mukabala aik tarafa raha… aur woh aasanee se jeet gayee…
Sneha uss samay bohat heraan huee jab Vikrant ne bohat khule mann aur ache vyavahaar ke saath Sneha ko badhaee dee… woh Vikrant se is pirkar ke vyavahaar kee apeksha naheen kar rahee thee…
Aur phir jo hua shapath grahan samaaroh ke baad uss ne to maano Sneha ko pooree tarah se bhramit kar diya… aur bass yeh soch rahee thee ke kayaa sach mein…!!!
Huaa yun ke ceremony ke baad Vikrant ne dice par aakar aik ghazal padhahee… aur ghazal mein us ne aik ladkee ka zikar karte hue uss ke honto par til ke hawale se jo kaha… woh sab Sneha ko apne liye kahe hue shabd lage… shabd kuch yun the…
Ae chaand dekh mere mehboob ke chehre ko…
til honton par kesse poore chehre ko jagmagata he…
aur uss ke baad Sneha aik anjana sa khinchaav mehsoos karne lagee Vikrant kee oar… woh chahtee thee Vikrant uss ke paas aakar uss se kahe ke usse Sneha pasand he… aur kahe ke usse payaar he Sneha se to woh bhee aik pal kee dair kiye bina uss ke payaar ko sveekaar kar le gee…
Sneha thee Science student aur Vikrant Hindi literature ka student… iss liye dono ke beech zayada aamna saamna na hota thaa… keval "literary society" kee meetings mein he donon kee mulakat hotee thee… Vikrant aik nazar bhar kar bhee naa dekhta tha Sneha kee oar… jab bhee baat karta nazar jhuka kar karta… yeh baat Sneha ko ghussa dilatee thee… Vikrant ka aesa bartaav karna Sneha ke stree saundary ka apamaan tha… jis ke kaaran Sneha chidhahte hue Vikrant kee oar aspasht ho jatee thee…
Rashmee ke saamne yeh baat bohat jald hee vikhyaat ho gayee thee… ke… Vikrant sab ladkiyon se baat karte samay un kee taraf nihaar leta he… aur aaram se baat cheet kar leta he… keval Sneha se baat karte samay us kee nazaren neeche jhuk jatee hein aur woh asuvidhaajanak sa dikhata he… yaa phir kabhee aesa bhee hua ke Rashmee ne Vikrant ko Sneha kee oar chor nazron se dekhte hue dekh liya… kuch samay tak to woh kissi se kuch naa bolee iss mudde par…
Magar phir kuch aesa hua ke… Rashmee ko yun laga jesse aag donon taraf he aag barabar lagee huee…
University ka pehala saal beet chukka thaa… sab hee achhe numbron se pass ho kar agle saal ke liye promote ho chuke the… doosraa saal shuroo hone se pehalae aik function rakha gaya… "literary society" kee taraf se… magar function waale din achanak Vikrant ghayab ho gaya… Sneha poore function ke beech bechain nazar aayee… maano jesse us ka mann naa lag raha ho… kissi bhee kaary mein… Rashmee saath saath thee Sneha ke aur uss ne note kiya ke woh baar baar dekhtee thee pindaal ke pravesh dvaar kee oar… agale roz bhee jab Vikrant naa aaya university to Sneha ne Vikrant ka zikar karte hue kaha ke Vikrant laparwaah he uss ne function mein apna hissa naheen liyaa… Sneha ke lehje mein gussa tha lekin uss ke chehare par bhaav udaasee ke jhalak rahe the… maano woh Vikrant ko miss kar rahee ho… jab Rashmee ne Sneha kee baat ka koi jawaab naa dete hue uss ke chehare ko ghaur se dekhne lagee to Sneha bhee apnee aankhen neeche jhukate hue chup ho gayee…
Vikrant function ke guzarne ke chaar din baad university aaya… to woh bohat kamzor aur chehare se zard aur pheeka lag raha tha… Rashmee ke poochane par uss ne bataaya ke uss kee Mata ka dehant ho gayaa tha… woh ab bhee kaafi ghamgeen aur peedit laga… Rashmee to uss kee class mein hee thee to sab ne waheen class mein condolence vyakt kiya…
class ke baad… Rashmee ne Sneha ko bataya… Sneha ne usse apne saath chalne ka kaha… donon milleen Vikrant se university ke park mein… wahan Sneha ne uss kiee Mata ke dehant par apne dukh ka izhaar kiya… uss samay Vikrant kee nazar neeche thee… magar Rashmee ne spasht roop se Sneha kee aankhon mein namee dekh lee thee… aur Sneha Vikrant ke chehare ko yun dekh rahee thee jesse woh uss ke dukh ko mehsoos kar paa rahee ho… aur phir kayee dinon tak Sneha ke chehare par gham kee parchayeen chayee rahee…
Kuch dinon ke baad Rashmee ne vaise hee binaa kissi kaaran Sneha kee diary dekhee to uss mein keval Vikrant kee hee likhee ghazal aur nazmen theen…
Rashmee ko himmat na hotee thee wo khud se Sneha ko iss baat ka zikar kare…
Samay ka pata hee na chalaa kese university mein 3 saal beet gaye aur aakhiri saal aagaya… iss 4th year ke baad sab ne practical life kee dishaa mein nikal jana tha… Iss beech… naa kabhee Vikrant Sneha ko apnee bhaavnaen bataa sakaa aur naa hee kabhee Sneha hee himmat jutta payee… Rashmee ne kayee baar socha ke woh un donon se baat kare magar woh bhee dartee thee ke donon ke beech saamaajik aur varg antar itana zayada he ke yeh antar in donon ka milan to hone nahee de ga… magar ghamon ka aik aesa toofan zaroor laye ga jo kabhee naa mitte gaa…
Phir aik din Rashmee ne himmat jutta kar keh hee diya Sneha se ke uss ka khayaal he ke woh aur Vikrant donon aik doosre se payaar karte hein magar donon hee aage badhahne se darr rahe hein… pehale to Sneha ne inkaar kiyaa… magar phir uss ne sveekaar karte hue… Rashmee se kaha ke woh Vikrant se kahe ke woh khud usse propose kare kyunke woh aik naaree he aur uss kee praakrtik akaal sharm usse apnee bhaavanaon ko prakat karane kee anumati nahin de rahee…
Rashmee kee dostee to donon se hee thee issiliye woh chahtee thee ke yeh donon khubsoorat insaan aik doosre se jud jayen… us ne aik din Vikrant se library mein baat ched hee dee… Vikrant bilkul khamosh raha… aur Rashmee ke bohat baar kehne par itana hee keh saka ke woh apnee haisiyat janta he aur donon ka milan asambhaav he… iss liye uss ne Rashmee se kaha ke woh bhee yeh baat bhool jaye… woh naheen janta tha ke yeh prem rog he aur yeh rog ab saaree umr uss ke saath chale ga…
Kuch to aesa bandhan tha inn donon ke beech ke kismat bhee unn ke sambandh ko adhik gehraa kar rahee thee…
Final exams se kuch din pehale, university kee taraf se aik study tour rakha gaya… jis mein university ke students ne Kolkata se kuch dooree par "Chandraketugarh" kee puraataatvik sthal par 1 night ke liye camping karnee thee… university se buses students ko lekar 12.00 pm tak wahan pohanch gayeen… students ko 5.00 pm tak "Chandraketugarh" puraataatvik sthal dikhayee gayee aur phir sham 5 baje site se kuch dooree par camping ke liye tents lagaye jaane lage…
unn ke tents ke kuch dooree par aik tourists ka group bhee aaya hua thaa… woh log bhee bohat friendly the… magar unn mein se aik tourist Robert ne Sneha ko dekha to woh uss ke mann ko aesee bhaiee ke Robert uss se milne ka sochane laga…
saare students apnaa apnaa group bana kar antakshari aur doosree games khelne mein lag gaye… doosree taraf, Rashmee raat ko dinner ke baad Sneha ko apne sath lekar tahalne ke bahane puraataatvik sthal se kuch aage aik pedon ke jhund kee taraf le gayee… woh Vikrant ko pehale hee us taraf aane ka keh gayee thee…
Sneha aur Vikrant donon hee Rashmee ke plan se bekhabar the… aur woh teenon Robert kee tank jhaank se bekhabar the…
Robert bhee Rashmee aur Sneha ke peeche ho liya… Robert 3 tin beer ke pee chuka tha aur woh iss samay aik khumaar me thaa… chothaa (4) tin uss ke haath mein thaa… aur woh peecha kar raha tha Rashmee aur Sneha ka… Rashmee aur Sneha jesse hee pohanchee pedon ke jhund ke paas to itanee dair mein halkee baarish bhee shuroo ho gayee…
Vikrant bhee ussi samay nikala apne tent se…
Rashmee aur Sneha ko halkee baarish ka yun barasna bohat achha laga.. aur woh donon apas mein hansee mazaak karne lageen…
Robert ke wahan aate hee donon chup ho gayeen… Robert un donon ke saath baat karte hue Sneha ke kuch nazdeek ho gaya…
Sneha ko uss ke munh se aatee beer kee gandh buree lagee aur woh uss se door hone lagee to uss ne aage badh kar Sneha ka hath pakad liya…
Sneha ne apna hath chudana chaha… magar Robert kee pakad kaafi mazboot thee… Rashmee ne jab yeh dekha to uss ne peeche se Dhaka diya Robert ko…
Robert jo ke pehale hee se nashe mein tha… apne aap ko sambhal naa sakaa aur apne munh ke bal ja gira neeche aur Rashmee aur Sneha aage kee taraf bhaag nikleen aur saath saath madad ke liye chilane lageen… woh donon darr ke maare yeh bhee naa soch sakeen ke woh kis disha mein jaa raheen hein camp kee oar yaa uss se door…
Robert bhee un ke peeche bhaga… uss par hawas sawaar thee… Sneha kee ummadtee jawaanee ne us se sochane samajhane kee shakatee cheen lee thee… woh pooree tarah se shaitaan ka roop dhaaran kar chukaa tha…
Sneha aur Rashmee tez bhaag raheen theen magar andhera hone ke kaaran un kee gati itanee bhee tez na thee ke woh bach pateen Robert se… Robert jald hee un ke nazdeek pohanch gaya… ab ghabaraahat badh gayee thee… Rashmee aur Sneha kee… woh bhaagane ke saath saath cheekhne bhee lageen theen…
udhar Vikrant jab pedon ke jhund ke paas pohancha to wahan koyee nahee tha… uss kee nazar wahan gire hue beer ke tin par padee… us ne tin ko uthaa kar check kiya to tin aadhe se kam bharaa hua tha… aur wahan par beer girne ke kaaran zameen bhee geeli thee… woh samajh gaya ke abhee abhee yaha koyee moujood tha… aur yeh bhee janata tha ke Rashmee to beer naheen peetee to kon aesa ho sakta he jo yahan pe beer peete hue iss tarah se beer ka adh bharaa hua tin phenk kar kaheen ghayab ho gaya… aur saath hee us ka dhayaan Rashmee kee oar gaya ke kaheen woh iss beer peene waale vyaktee ke kaaran kissi museebat mein to naheen… (yeh yaad rahe ke Rashmee ne usse wahan aane ke liye kaha tha to yeh nahee bataya tha ke uss ke saath Sneha bhee hogee aur woh keval itana he jaanata tha ke wahan Rashmee akeli aayee hogee…)…
Vikrant iss baat ka khayaal aate hee ke Rashmee kaheen kissi samasya mein na phans gayee ho… idhar udhar dekhne laga… kuch sunnane ka paryas karne laga… us ko ladkiyon kee halkee cheekh sunayee dee… jis taraf se awaaz aarahee thee… Vikrant uss taraf daud padaa…
Vikrant ke pohanchane se pehale hee Robert ne bhaagtee hueen Rashmee aur Sneha ke paas pohanch gaya… chand kee mand roshanee mein us ne Rashmee par haath daal diya usse Sneha samajh kar… Jesse hee Rashmee ko pakdaa Robert ne… Rashmee uss se chudane kee koshish karte hue Sneha ko madad ke liye pukara… Sneha bhagate hue ruk gayee aur peeche palat kar Robert ko balon se pakad kar usse door dhakelne lagee… Robert ne jab yeh dekha ke uss ne Rashmee ko pakda hua he to uss ne usse door dhaka dediya aur Sneha ko pakadte hue aik zor ka chaanta mar diya Sneha ke munh par… Sneha zor se cheekh padee… Robert ne Sneha kee kameez aage se pakad kar phaad dee… uss kee bra dikhane lagee thee… mand roshanee mein bhee doodhiya maans chamak raha tha…
Sneha laaj ke maare maano zameen mein gad gayee… aur uss kee aankhon se aansoo nikalne lage… woh apane badan ko chuppane kee nakaam koshish karne lagee… Rashmee Sneha kee madad nahee kar sakee kyun ke woh jab neeche giree to uss ka sar ja takraya aik pathar se aur woh shayad behosh ho chukee thee… Robert ne Sneha ko apnee banhon mein bharte hue kas ke pakad liya aur uss ke munh ko choomane kee koshish karne laga…
iss se pehale woh apane shaitanee irrade mein kamyab hota… Vikrant ne wahan pohanchte hee uss ke collar ko pakadte hue usse apanee taraf ghuma diya… aur aik zordar mukka mara uss ke munh par… nashe mein hone ke kaaran Robert uss mukke ko na seh saka aur waheen gir gaya…
Vikrant jesse pagal ho chukka tha ghusse se… woh dekh chuka tha ke Robert ne Sneha ke sath kaya kiya he… uss ne zameen par gire hue Robert ko kicks marnee shuroo kar deen… ab Robert dard se chila raha tha… magar Vikrant to jesse hosh hee kho betha tha… uss kee kicks mein nirdayata aur aprasannata thee…
Sneha ne dekha ke Vikrant kis kroorata se Robert ko mar rahaa he to uss ne apne aap ko sambhalte hue ye socha ke yadi Robert ko kuch hogaya to samasya badh jaye gee… to uss ne aage badh kar Vikrant ko rokne kee koshish karte hue us ko apnee banhon mein bharte hue uss ke seene se lag gayee… aur rone lagee…
Vikrant bhee svachaalit dhang se pratikriya karte hue uss ko kas liya apnee banhon mein… woh aik doosre ko kuch samay pehale ghatee ghatana ke dard, dukh, aur ghusse ke pal bhulaane ke makasad ke tahat aik doosre ko saantvana de rahe the… woh donon aik doosre se prem karte the magar kaha naheen tha aik doosre ko… phir bhee jaante to the…
Saantvana kee bhaavna achaanak hee parivartit ho gayee prem kee dehaktee aanch mein… donon ke badan mehekne lage aik doosre ke prem kee bheeni bheeni sugandh se… donon ke badan aik doosre kee mohabbat ko sveekar karte hue samarthan kar rahe the… yahan shabd labon se naheen bhaavnaon se adda ho rahe the… anmol bhaavnaen theen… kissi bhee tarah kee malinata aur gandagee se rahit… shuddh bhaavana prem kee… jahan aik mard aik mahila ko suraksha aur satyavaadita ka sandesh deta he… iss badan kee aanch mein komaltaa, mithaas aur santushti thee…
Vikrant ke dimagh mein aik dam yeh khayaal aaya ke woh to is taraf Rashmee ke bulane par aaya tha… woh kahan he… jesse hee uss ke munh se Rashmee ke baare mein shabd nikale… Sneha lajja ke maare aik dam Vikrant se door ho gayee…
magar jab woh donon aik doosre se pare hue to Sneha ko apnee phatee huee kameez kee oar dhayaan gaya to uss ne sharam aur sharmindagee se apne baazoo rakh liye apnee adh nangee chaatee ke oopar…
Vikrant ne uss kee sthiti dekhte hue turant apnee t-shirt utaar kar uss ko pehanane ko dedee… jab tak Sneha t-shirt pehantee… Vikrant ne dekh liya ke Robert to wahan se bhaag liyaa thaa aur Rashmee aik taraf behosh padee thee… wo aage badha aur Rashmee ko hosh mein lane lagaa… thodee dair ke baad woh hosh mein aagayee… aur phir tinon is ghatana par charcha kiye bina wapis loat aaye camp kee taraf… Vikrant kee t-shirt reh gayee Sneha ke paas…
Agle din Rashmee aur Sneha ne nirnay liya ke ab Sneha khud baat kare gee Vikrant se… exams khatam hone ke baad… Sneha ne apna mann banna liya tha ke woh khud Vikrant se mil kar uss ke saare sandeh door kare gee uss ko apne aur uss ke prem par chhaye kuharepan ko door kare gee… aur uss ko samjhaye gee ke un donon kaa prem koyee mrgatrshna naheen he balki aik tathy aik hakeekat he aur woh uss ke saath saath chale gee zindagee bhar… chahe ye safar kitana bhee kathan aur duswaar ho… aik sachhe saathee kee tarah se har katanayee mein uss ke saath khadee rahegee… har takleef har peeda ko hans kar sehan karle gee yadi woh saath ho gaa to… aanewaale prem se bhare jeevan kee saaree aashaon aur apekshaon ke chalte, uss ne apnee pareeksha par pooree ekaagrata ke saath dhyaan kendrit kar diya...
Doosaree taraf Vikrant bhee achhe se samajh chuka tha ke Sneha bhee uss se prem kartee he aur uss kaa saath paane ke liye shayad iss samaj se takra bhee jaye… magar woh uss se mohabbat karta tha… woh yeh mantaa tha ke yadi Sneha ko paa bhee liya to shayad yeh samaj usse saamaajik matabhed ke olanghan karne par kabhee bhee kshama na kare… aur agar woh Sneha ko wo saare sukh na de paya jiss kee woh abhyast thee to Vikrant kee aatma kaa jhulasaana shayad kabhee khatam naa ho sake… inn sab aashankaon aur jatilataon ke chalte woh apne exams kee tayaaree karta rahaa…
Final exams khatam hone ke baad… jiss din aakhiri paper tha… Vikrant ussi din kissi se baat kiye bina hee apne chote se shehar… apnee chotee see duniya mein loat gaya… kabhee bhe Kolkata wapis na aane ke liye… jesse ke Kolkata ka har aik raasta, har aik ped, har aik phool… yahaan kee hawaa… Sneha se judee thee… aur woh Sneha se door jaana chaahata tha… yeh samajhe bina ke Sneha to uss kee har aik nass mein bass gayee thee… uss se door jaana to kewal khud se door jaana tha…
Sneha ke liye achanak Vikrant ka yun chale jaana aik aapada se kam nahee tha aur uss ke liye aese sankat ka srot bannee ke uss ne Rashmee kee bhee aik naa sunnee aur jesse hee aik bade zameendar ke bête ka rishtaa aaya to turant shadee ke liye sakaaraatmak dikhate hue vivah rachaa liyaa…

Purvee ko na keval apna dam ghutataa mehsoos ho raha thaa… uss se apne shareer kee garmahat bhee hadd se badhahtee lagne lagee thee… woh praarthana karne lagee ke jald uss ka Pati ghar loat aaye… uss kee praarthana jesse ke sunn lee gayee ho… uss ka Pati jo ke darwaaze ko bahar se band kar ke gaya tha… darwaza khol kar andar aagaya… aur Purvee kee aesee halat dekh kar pareshan ho gaya… turant hee uss ne paani liya kitchen se aur aik kapde ko phaad kar uss kee patiyaan banna kar kamre mein aagya aur Purvee ke maathe, haathon aur peron par patiyan rakhane laga…
Purvee bhee jesse kewal uss ke intezaar mein thee… patiyaan rakhte hee woh to hosh khote hue teevr bhukaar yaa phir kamzoree ke kaaran behosh ho gayee… uss ka Pati patiyaan rakhta raha aur saath saath praarthana bhee karta raha apnee Patni kee svaasthy laabh ke liye… uss kee mehnat rang layee aur bukhaar kam hone ke saath hee Purve ko hosh aane laga…
woh hosh mein aate hee khansne ke sath sath paani paani karne lagee… Purvee ka pati uss ko aesee sthiti mein dekh kar pareshan ho gaya…
Purvee thee to 10 din se beemar magar aaj uss kee halat kuch zayaada hee kharab lag rahee thee… oopar se doctor ne aaj uss ko spasht roop se bataa diya tha ke Purvee ko shayad "pulmonary edema" ka attack he aur yadi Purvee ko turant Kolkata na lejaya gayaa to uss kee jaan ko khatara ho sakta he…
Purvee ke pati kee duvidha thee ke badhtee jaa rahee thee… woh janta tha ke Purvee ko ilaaj ke liye Kolkata le kar jaane ka matlab he ke bohat saare rupya chahiyen… aur yeh rupya aayen ge kahan se… uss ne dekha ke ab Purvee ke badan mein paseena aaraha he aur uss ka bukhaar bhee kam ho raha he… aur ab uss ka badan kasmasa raha tha… aur uss ke munh se karaahen kee aawazen nikalne lageen… badan mein dard se ya phir kuch sukh aane se… kuch samay mein Purvee ke saare kapde geele ho gaye the paseene se…
uss ke pati ne turant celing fan off kiya aur almaree se dhule hue kapde nikale Purvee ke… aur laakar pehale kamre kee light off karke… uss ke kapde badalne laga…
Purvee ne koi virodh na karte hue khud se bhee uss ke sahare oopar ko uthate hue kapde nikalne mein Pati kee madad kee… kapde badalne ke baad…
uss ka pati ne kamre kee light on karke kitchen mein jakar 1 glass doodh garam karke saath mein 2 slices bread ke le aaya… aur spoon se uss ko khilane kee koshish karne laga… pehale to Purvee ne manaa kiya magar jab uss ke pati to thoda payaar se uss ke gaal pe hath phera to wo maan gayee aur apna munh khol diya… iss tarah se 1 slice hee khaa sakee Purvee aur ab uss ko jesse vomiting see feel hone lagee thee…
yeh dekhte hue uss ke pati ne bacha hua doodh aur slice kitchen mein chod kar pehale mixture pilaya aur phir bukhaar ke liye tablet bhee dee… aur phir uss ke paas hee beth gaya khaat par… aur uss ke tangen aahista se dabane laga…
Purvee ko bahut achha laga… aaj uss ke pati ne naa kewal uss kee dekhabhaal kee… balke itane payaar se uss ke dard kartee tangen bhee daba raha tha… aesa naheen tha yeh koyee anokhee baat thee aur yadi uss ka pati bhee bimaar padta to woh zaroor uss kee dekhabhaal kartee… phir bhee us ne krtagyata se apne pati kee oar dekha jo ke uss samay Purvee ko hee dekh raha tha… Purvee ke yeh krtagyata se bharee nigaahen ishara theen ke aik insaan doosre insaan ka kesse aabhaaree hota he… Purvee ke pati ko bhee achha laga… aur aaj pehalee bar uss ka dil apnee patni ke liye khinchaa…
uss ne Purvee ko kaha ke wo chinta na kare wo jald theek hojayegee… aur Purvee ka jawab uss ko heraan kar gaya… "aap mere saath ho… Vikrant… ab mein jald theek ho jaun gee…" aaj pehlee bar tha ke Purvee ne apne pati ko uss ke naam se pukara tha… aesa lag raha tha jesse aik naye rishate kee shuruaat ho rahee ho… kaheen koyee aik nayee kalee khilee ho baagh mein… koyee naya taara chamka ho aasmaan mein…
Kaafi samay tak uss kee tange dabane ke baad… Vikrant ne doosre kamre mein jakar apna kapde badale sone ke liye aur wapis aakar phir se light off karke apnee khaat par letane laga… Purvee phir se bolee… "Vikrant… aaj mere paas so jayiee…"
Vikrant khamoshee se uthaa aur uss ke paas let gyaa… Purvee ne sarak kar uss ke liye jagah bana dee thee… jese he Vikrant wahan leta uss ke paas… Purvee apna sar uss ke seene par rakhate hue kissi chote bache kee tarah jhat mein ussee samay so gayee…
Vikrant ne bhee apna baazoo uss kee kamar ke gird karte hue apne kareeb karliya… aur khud bhee sone kee koshish karne laga… magar neend uss kee aankhon se bahut door thee… Purvee ke badan ka sparsh aaj pehlee baar Sneha ke sparsh ko dhundala kar raha tha… Vikrant jo kabhee bhee Sneha ko aik pal ke liye bhee naheen bhula paya tha… aur wo uss ke sath har aatee jaatee saans kee tarah uss kee aatma mein jeetee thee… aaj uss kee jagah uss kee patni le rahee thee…
Vikrant 3 saal kee shaadee mein kayee bar apnee patni ke kareeb hua thaa… magar aaj Purvee ke badan ka sparsh kuch alag tha… aaj Purvee aur Vikrant ke badan apas mein baat kar rahe the… aaj pehalee baar jud rahe the…
Vikrant ke liye yeh sab bahut adhbut thaa… kyunke aaj tak uss ko pavitr aganee ke gird liye hue pheron kee shakatee ka andaza naheen tha… aaj tak wo naheen janta tha ke sindoor ka rang kacha naheen hota… aur aaj uss ko sahee maayane mein mangal sutra kee doree kee mazbootee ka andaza ho raha tha… jo ke pehantee to Patni he apne gale mein magar us ka undekha chhor Pati ko bhee bandhe hue hota he…
Vikrant kaa pehalee baar Sneha ko dekhna, uss ke saath bitaye gaye pal, uss raat Sneha ke badan ka sparsh aur phir uss din haveli mein chote Thakur ke barabar me virajman chote Thakur kee patni ke roop tak Sneha ke saare prabhaav dhundale pad rahe the… Kewal ab koyee chavee spasht ho rahee thee to wo thee Purvee kee chavee… mazaboot aur prabhaavashaalee…
Vikrant ne soch liya tha ke wo kal muniyam ji ke paas ja kar kuch rupya udhaar le ga aur Purvee ko le jaye ga Kolkata ilaaj ke liye… aur ab Kolkata mein hee koyee nokree dhoondh kar waheen rahe ga Purvee ke saath aur aik nayee zindagee shuroo kare ga…
Vikrant iss se pehale bhee gaya tha haveli muniyan ji kehane par… magar jab wo pohancha wahan to uss ko Sneha dikhee chote Thakur ke paas bethee huee lawn mein… aur uss ke goad mein chota bacha bhee tha… wo waheen se chote Thakur ya phir muniyam ji se mile bina he wapis aagya tha… jis kee khabar kabhee bhee kissi ko naa ho sakee…

Sneha kamre mein akelee chair par bethee bethee hee so chukee thee… audio player to off ho chukka tha… magar ghazal kee shesh ab bhee goonj rahee thee kamre mein…
"woh ishk jo ham se rooth gaya…
……………………………………..
Ik hijr jo ham ko lahak he…
ta-dair usse dohrayen kaya…
wo zehar jo dil mein uttar liya…
phir uss ke naaz uthayen kaya…
……………………………………
ik aag gham-e-tanhayee kee…
Jo saare badan mein phel gayee…
wo ishk jo hum se rooth gayaa…
Ab uss ka haal batayen kayaa…"…
Sneha naheen janatee thee ke aaj uss ka ishk vaastavik mein rooth gaya he… aur paraaya ho chukka he…
"from the repertoire of rusty blade…"
