Jawaan Din-Haseen Raat (2)
"Itni bekarar ho?", Arjun ne bhi jaali ke sath lakdi wala bhi darwaja band karne ke baad us gadrai jawani ko baahon me bhar liya. Ek pal me samajh gaya ki badan me nahane ke baad wali nami hai aur andar sabkuch ajaad. Wo motte sakht stann bhi aur bhaari nitambh bhi. Gurdeep ke haath bhi Arjun ki peeth par kass chuke the.
"Bata bhi nahi sakti ki meri haalat kya hai. Ek toh pehli mulakaat me he dard de diya aur uske baad itni lambi judaai."
"Dard diya tha toh? Phir toh tumhe mere pas nahi hona chahiye.", Arjun wo 38 ke motte gaddedar chuttat masalte hue Gurdeep ko jaise satane laga.
"Aahhh.. dard waha nahi, yaha diya tha. Ab baatein matt karo, bas wo pyaar do jis se main kuch din wo kami mehsoos na karu. aahhh...", Pajama is gadraye motte hisse par atche se fansa tha aur Gurdeep ki halat ko samajhte hue Arjun usko goad me uthaye chacha wale kamre me chal diya. Gurdeep ne dil ke dard ki baat kahi thi aur Arjun apne pyaar se wahi dur karne wale tha is Bholi sardarni ka.
Us bade bister par aate he unka josh parwan chadh gaya. Wo makhmali gadrai sardarni kisi taja gulaab si mehak bikherti khud he Arjun ko apne jism par girati hui uska chehra choomne lagi thi. Gurdeep ke wo malai se naram aur gulabi honth aakhir mil he gaye apne harjaai ke hontho se. Wo chumban purkashish se bhara jaane kab tak chala aur Arjun ke hantho dono he motte gubbare se chuche masalwati hui Gurdeep khud he kamar ko uchkane lagi.
"Ufff.. sehan nahi hota yar..ummmm..", Gurdeep ki tadap aur halat dekh Arjun ek pal alag hua kapde utarne ke liye. Din ke ujaale me jald he dono ek dusre ke nirvastra aakarshak badan ko niharne lage. Gurdeep ke chehre par aayi laali aur lund se najre hatana bata raha tha ke wo kaam-jwar me tapne ke sath ab sharma rahi thi. Safed motte chuche itne bhaari the ki shayad Priyanka wale parvat bhi 19 the inke saamne. Arjun ne apne sakht lund par Gurdeep ki naram hatheli rakhte hue jhuk kar kaha.
"Is se he sharmaogi toh ye bura bhi maan sakta hai. Pyaar se pakad kar sehlane se shayad ye tumhara sath de.", Arjun ki baatein asar karti us se pehle he Gurdeep ne wo hatheli ke ghere se motta moosal kas ke thaam liya. Aakarshit toh wo bhi thi us jaandar ang se aur wo sakhti jaise gehra asar karne lagi. Arjun bhi masti me dooba un kathai nipple ko mooh me liye ek motte chuche ko chusakne laga toh Gurdeep ne bhi jaange khol di. Taja baal saaf ki hui wo gori-gulabi choot shehad tapka rahi thi.
"Aaahh.. araam se yar.. bade sensitive ho gaye hai ye jabse inhe tumne pehli baar hath lagaya hai. Uff... aur main bhi kuch dena chahti hu aaj tumhe.", Ek hath se lund muthiyati hui Gurdeep dusre se Arjun ke baal sehla rahi thi. Arjun ko apne chucho par itna aasakt dekh maje ke sath he Gurdeep muskura rahi thi. Aise drishya me jo kamukta ek garam ladki ke chehre par aati hai wo jaise bikhar rahi thi Gurdeep ke chehre par. Arjun baat sunn kar alag hote hue bagal me leit gaya. Ab Gurdeep uske seene par dono doodh tikati aage kehne lagi.
"Video dekhi thi maine worldsex par kuch din pehle. Ye thoda jyada motta aur bada hai lekin main waisa he karke dekhna chahti hu.", Gurdeep ki aadhi adhuri baat bhi Arjun samajh chuka tha. Wo nirantar us tagde moosal ko hilati rahi.
"Sath me karte hai jis se tumhe bhi atcha laga.", Arjun sarak kar ab Gurdeep ki motti chikni jaangho ki taraf aa gaya. Gol naabhi se 6 inch niche he wo poora maidaan chamak raha tha jaha phooli hui choot kaamras se labrej mehak rahi thi. Choot ko intjaar na karna pada aur Arjun ki jeebh ne karamat dikhani chalu kar di.
"Ishhh... ye kya karne lage aahhh.. baap re.. ummmm.. maahhh.. ", Gurdeep ne phir se lund ko kabje me lete hue jor se bheench liya. Arjun ne choot ko atche se choomte hue chehra wahi daba diya. Thumakta hua laal supada he Gurdeep ko apni aahen band karne ki ummeed dikha. Ye kaamshashtra ki wahi unhattar wali mudra thi jo khaas prachalit na thi. Gurdeep ko ek pal wo lisa-lisa sa swaad ajeeb laga lekin sab bhula kar wo bhi lund ko supade se thoda aaga tak apne geele garam mooh me utaar gayi. Agle 5 minute me he uska gardraya jism jhatke lene laga aur honth us jarurat se adhik motte ling par kahi jor se lipat gaye. Arjun ke alag hote he Gurdeep bhi bister par peeth ke bal pasarti hui gehri saansein lene lagi. Chuche kampann se thirak rahe the aur Arjun ne sahi waqt dekhte hue kriya aage badhane ka nishchaya kiya.
"Himmat rakhna Deepi, dusri he baar hai aur mujhe lagta hai ke dard jarur hoga.", Bhaari jaanghe failate hue Arjun ne paniyaai taja sakhalit choot ke muhane supada bhidate hue Gurdeep ko chetaya toh laal doro se bhari aankhen batane ke liye bahot thi ki wo tayaar hai.
"Jism toddne se pehle matt alag hona.. aahh..", Aisi himmat dekh Arjun bhi poori tarah us maansal naram jism par chha gaya. Hontho ko chooste hue ek karare dhakke ke sath he wo lagbhag anchudi choot chirti chali gayi. 5 inch ki duri choot ke kaamras aur uttejana ki wajah se wo bhishan lund us dhakke me taye kar gaya.
"Unnnnngg....", Na chahte hue bhi band hontho ke beech se wo dard ki awaaj bahar aa he gayi, aankhon me aansuon ke sath. Gurdeep ke lachile badan ki harkat Arjun ki kamar par taange bandhne se najar aayi. Ek aur dhakke ne garbh ko he choom liya. Motte dugdh-kalash piss chuke the chaudi chhati tale aur choot kisi parat ki tarah lipati hui us majboot lund ko mehsoos karne lagi. Ye himmat Gurdeep ki Arjun ke prati gehri chahat saaf batati thi. Hontho ki harkat hote he Arjun bhi haule haule un rasbhare labo ka ras peene laga. Kamar ko hilana aisa lag raha tha jaise darwaje me dhansi koyi keel plaas se nikali ja rahi ho. Aadhe lund ko bahar nikalte he Arjun ne honth alag kar liya.
"Faad ke toh rakh he di hai.. aahh.. ab rukna nahi.. aahh.. sachmuch bahot motta hai yar tumhara aur andar tak lagta hai.", Gurdeep ki boli baatein aur aankhon me aaye aansu dekh Arjun ne halke se dono aankhen choomte hue badi najakat se lund wapis andar utaar diya. Choot buri tarah fail chuki thi lekin chiknahat ne sath diya.
"Us din toh bas josh me ho gaya tha Deepi.. Huhh.. aaj tumhe main araam se pyaar karna chahta tha... bahot tight hai tumhari lekin himmat dikhai.. Bahot sundar bhi ho..", Arjun ne dono panje un gubbare par lagate hue choot ko araam se chodna shuru kiya toh Gurdeep dard ke bawjood maja le rahi thi. Uski choot aaj dusri he baar lund le rahi thi jis se har dheema gharshan bhi kahi jordar lagta tha. Aise he is saral mudra me chudai gati pakadne lagi thi aur jald he dard tej siskiyon me badal gaya.
"Aahh... aise he karte raho.. ummm.. mujhe nahi lagta ke aaahh... kabhi tumhari jagah koyi aur le paayega.. Arjunn.nn I love you..", Gurdeep kaam-sagar me tairti hui bhi apne dil ki chahat ujagar kar rahi thi. Sach he toh tha ke uske jism ke sath aatma ne bhi khud ko Arjun ke hawale kar chhoda tha. Arjun ke chehre ko har taraf choomne ke baad usne khud he uska chehra apne ek motte gubbare par tika diya. Chucho ko chuswana bhi aisa sukhdayi ho sakta hai ye bas kuch waqt pehle tak usko na pata tha aur na koyi anubhav tha. Thandak bhare kamre me bhi dono jismo ki garmi badh he rahi thi. Dhimi chudai ab badal kar lambe aur gehre dhakko ke sath raftar lene lagi thi. Choot ne dursi baar baandh todte hue rass bahaya toh Arjun alag ho gaya. Gurdeep ki ukhadi hui saansein aur band aankhen bata rahi thi ki wo kitna durlabh charam mehsoos kar rahi hai. Choot me khaalipan ka ehsaas hote he usne Arjun ko dekha.
"Tum bahot he pyaari ho Deepi. Main tumhare sath kahi galat toh nahi kar raha?"
"Bade aaye galat aur sahi batane wale. Jisme sirf pyaar aur sukh ho, wo sahi aur galat se pare hai mister. Ab meri baari hai.", Tarbooj se motte chuttad failati wo Arjun ke upar aa chadhi. Arjun jawaab deta us se pehle samooche lund ko apni geeli choot me utaarti hui Gurdeeep ne wo lambi siski lete hue mansha spasht kar di. Is khel me anubhavi na sahi lekin josh bharpoor tha is ladki me. Ab sachmuch maje ki baari Arjun ki thi aur Gurdeep ke motte motte ubhar seene par ragadte hue apna kaam karne lage. Savere Alka ke sath adhuru milan se uttejit Arjun bhi 10 minute me akadne laga tha Gurdeep ke niche.
"Aahhh.. hone wala hai mera Deepi.. Hato..", Gurdeep itna sunte he lund ko bahar nikalti hui apni geeli choot se he ragadne lagi.
"Uff... main bhi..", Arjun ka veerya dono ke jismo ke beech he baras kar reh gaya. Alag hote he Gurdeep hansne lagi.
"Dekho kya halat hai hum dono ki. Phir se nahana padega.", Dono ke he peit kaamras aur veerya se sann chuke the aur Gurdeep ke uthte he Arjun ki nigah thirakte vishaal kulho aur tarbooj si laal ho chuki choot par padi. Murjhat hue lund ne bhi harkat karke sehmati jatai ki Gurdeep ki wo khaas jagah pasand aayi.
"Jaha dekh rahe ho mujhe pata hai bachu. Iske liye tumhe mehnat karni padegi kyonki wo tumhe chahiye, mujhe jo chahiye tha uske liye maine mehnat ki. Aaj sath he nahate hai.", Gurdeep ne jis kamukta se Arjun ko ishara kiya tha wo jhatt uth kar uske sath bathroom me ghuss gaya. Jo chahiye tha uske liye mehnat toh karni he thi.
.

"Arjun se mili thi jaane se pehle?", Ritu ke sath is waqt sirf Preeti he thi yaha upar Ritu-Alka ke kamre me aur dopahar ke is samay ghar me jo bhi hulchal thi us se ye wala hissa achhoota tha. Hamesha he khile gulab si rehne wali Preeti is waqt thodi udaas thi aur Ritu se behtar sangini aur kaun ho sakti thi jo ye udaasi na samajh sakti.
"Pata he nahi tha ke wo Punjab ja raha hai aur aapke saamne he toh wapis aaye the sab. Maa ne jab bataya tabtak toh wo nikal bhi chuka tha. Aap he bulane aa jati agar aapko pata chal gaya tha toh.", Preeti ne ek rubber se apne kandhe se niche tak ke baalo ko bandha hua tha aur aaj wo safed salwar kameej me thi, apni veshbhusha ke viprit. Ritu ne bhi ek chhoti si kaali bindi us pyaare chehre ke maathe par lagane ke baad Preeti ki thuddi ke niche hath rakhte hue jawaab diya.
"Mujhe pata hota toh kya main tujhe batati nahi? Upar se subah thoda mahol kharaab ho gaya tha jis se mera mood bhi down ho gaya. Jaane se pehle Arjun aaya tha mujhse milne aur bol kar gaya tha ke main tumhara atche se dhyaan rakhu. Kal wapis aane ke baad wo tumhare sath atcha time bitane wala hai. Waise tumhe kahi is baat ka bura toh nahi lag raha ki waha gaanv jaane ki wajah se tum dono mil nahi paaye?", Arjun dwara kahi baatein Ritu se sunn kar ab Preeti ke chehre par bhi khushi aa gayi thi. Ritu ne wo khaas payal ki jodi Preeti ke gore paanv me pehnaai toh Preeti ki aankhon me halki si nami bhi aa gayi.
"Pata nahi didi aisa lagta hai ke shayad main utna pyaar Arjun ko nahi de pa rahi jitna wo karta hai. Aur aapka pyaar mere sath na hota toh shayad main jyada galtiyan kar jaati. I love you so much and please always stay with me like this, forever.", Ritu ne dono payal pehnane ke baad ek baar baithe hue he Preeti ko gale se lagaya aur uth kar almari se nail-polish nikalte hue kehne lagi.
"Tere sath he toh rehna hai saari zindagi aur waise bhi mere liye tum bhi utni he jaruri ho jitna Arjun. Yakeen karo tum usko us se jyada pyaar karti ho aur iska example hai tumhara usko har roop me swikaar karna. Kaisa lagta hai jab wo kisi aur ke sath ho jabki pyaar wo hamara hai? Hum dono he is baat ko atche se samajhti hai ki Arjun aisa tabtak he kar raha hai jabtak sharir me badlaav aa rahe hai aur hum filhal rishta bana nahi sakte. Jab tum uski zindagi me biwi bann kar aa jaogi na Preeti, wo kisi ki taraf dekhne wala bhi nahi.", Gore haatho ki lambi ungliyon ke nakhoon bhi sahi lambai ke sath bedaag the Preeti ke. Ritu ne ek hath ko pakadte hue polish lagane ka upkram kiya toh Preeti halke se muskurai. Ritu uska sachmuch behan se jyada khayal rakhti thi.
"Main chahti hu ke pehle aap uski biwi bane ya phir hum dono he sath me. Aur mujhe bura nahi lagta Arjun ko kisi aur ke sath sambandh banane se kyonki wo pehal nahi karta. Aur shaadi ke baad aap atche se sambhal lengi usko."
"Dhatt... uske liye toh sunday-monday banane padd rahe hai aur tum kehti ho main akeli sambhal lungi. Waise shaadi tumhe he pehle karni padegi Preeti aur ye mai kisi wajah se he keh rahi hu.", Preeti ektak Ritu ke us gambhir chehre ko dekhne lagi jaha ek pal pehle muskurahat aur sharam thi.
"Aisi kya wajah hai? Badi aap hai toh pehla haq bhi aapka he hua."
"Tum asliyat bhool rahi ho mere aur Arjun ke rishtey ki. Shaadi toh jaise taise ho he jayegi lekin is ghar me nahi. Tum yaha ki bahu banogi aur main idhar se bahar ja kar. Safar abhi dur hai lekin ye batana jaruri tha jis se tumhe bhi waise dhalne me pareshani na ho. Ye ek kadwa sach hai Preeti ki is ghar me main kabhi bhi Arjun ki biwi ka darja nahi paane wali aur main bhi chahti hu ke yaha tum ekmatra biwi aur bahu raho. Waise itna pareshan bhi matt hona jyada soch kar, bahot saal pade hai is sabke liye.", Ritu phir se pehle ki tarah muskurane lagi thi aur Preeti ki soch ko viram laga.
"Waise Manju bhi 2 saal se pehle he hamesha ke liye idhar se jaane wali hai didi. Arjun ne poori koshish ki hai usko khush rakhne ki aur wo hai bhi lekin ab jaise wo khud apni life ko badalne ka soch chuki hai. Kitna ajeeb hain na ye sab aur Arjun agar usko na sambhalta toh bahot bura ho sakta tha uske sath.", Preeti ne yaha Manju ka jikar kiya toh Ritu ne dusre hath ko pakad liya.
"Kaise bura hone deta wo Manju ke sath? Wo Arjun se pyaar karti hai toh Arjun parwah karega he lekin Manju jaise apne naye lakshya bana chuki hai aur Arjun bhi uska sath de raha hai jaise tu. Ek majboot vyakti he aise fainsle le sakta hai aur haarne ki jagah jiwan ko aur behtar banane ki koshish karne wali Manju ne mujhe bhi prerit kiya hai. Waise teri maami bhi aa rahi hai, jitna maine suna hai. Vicki se milne ya phir kuch aur wajah hai?"
"Hahaha.. Vicki se milne kyo aayengi wo? Aaj maa ki baat suni thi maine thodi bahot jab wo phone par lagi hui thi. Unko toh maloom hai ghar me kisi ko greek nahi aati lekin mujhe bhool gayi. Wo maami ko surprise dene ki baat kar rahi hai aur is baar maami hafte bhar idhar rehne wali hai shaadi me shamil hone ke sath sath.", Preeti ki baat me abhi bhi rehasya chhupa tha.
"Poori baat bata na, kyu maje le rahi hai.", Ritu ko toh pata he tha ke Preeti aise he baat aage badhayegi.
"Wo keh rahi thi ki unke pas koyi hai jo ek ideal lover hai, dil aur sharir ko atche se satisfy karne wala. Aisa lover jaisa maami ne kabhi khayalo me bhi na socha ho aur agar maami unki baat maanegi toh wo unke sath bhi usko share kar sakti hai. Maa ki baaton se laga tha jaisa wo maami se is topic par pehle bhi thodi bahot baat kar chuki hai aur meri soch kehti hai ke maa ki life me aisa koyi bhi nahi hai. Chahe papa ke sath unki chemistry ab atchi nahi hai lekin wo apne kaam par he focus rehti hai aur ghar se bahar toh kahi jaati nahi.", Preeti baaton ke sath sawaal karne lagi thi lekin Ritu ki kutil muskaan dekh aankhen badi ho gayi.
"Shit. Aisa impossible hai didi. Don't tell ki maa Arjun ki baat kar rahi thi?", Preeti ne he sawal-jawaab kiya tha hairaan hote hue.
"Aur kaun ho sakta hai jara khud he soch? Waise Arjun ne aisa kuch kiya toh nahi hai jitna main usko jaanti hu toh aunty ka aisa kehna samajh nahi aaya. Aur tumhari maami kya nympho hai jo sirf aisi baat par idhar aane wali hai? Jarur masla kuch aur he hai Preeti kyonki aunty ne aajtak toh Arjun ke saamne aisi waisi harkat nahi ki. Tum jara ab thoda dhyaan rakhna ke wo udhar aata hai toh unki reaction aur expressions kaise rehte hai. Lekin khabar dhamakedar hai. Tumhari maami toh khud he chalti firti aag hai aur aunty bhi kuch kam nahi."
"Chhiii... Maa aisa waisa nahi karne wali Arjun ke sath."
"Drawing yaad nahi hai kya? Aunty kehti nahi kyonki wo complex hai thodi jisko samajhna Alka aur mere liye bhi filhal mushkil he hai par unke jajbaat dikh he jaate hai agar dhyaan diya jaaye. Unhe dilchaspi toh hain apne damaad me lekin wo express nahi karti.", Ritu ki baat se Preeti ko bhi wo chitra yaad aa gaye jinhe Romela ne bada sahej kar rakha hua tha aur kitne behtareen banaye gaye the wo.
"Hmmm.. Sahi kaha aapne aur maine he gor nahi kiya is baat par. Maami ke baare me jaan ne ke liye ab Vicki ki he madad leni padegi. Wo apne aap he ek alag samasya hai.", Preeti ne Vicki ka jikar kiya toh Ritu hansne lagi.
"Kyu usko tadpa rahi hai yar? Uski haalat bhi samajh aur waise bhi hasrat poori karna bhaari padne wala hai Vicki ko. Hahaha."
"Hans lo aap lekin baat usko rokne ki nahi hai. Maa ke hote hue agar aisa kuch hua na toh baat bigad jayegi aur Vicki beshak university student hai aur umar me bhi badi lekin aaj tak virgin hai. Arjun ke sath kuch bhi ulta hua jo ki hona nischit hai, main bhi fasungi aur Arjun bhi. Maa ko Vicki se bahot lagaav hai aur yaha wo unki jimmewari hai. Unke jaate he main Vicki ko nahi rokne wali. Meri taraf se toh chahe wo kare kyonki tab jimmewar wahi hogi."
"Wo abhi tak virgin hai?"
"Hairani wali kya baat hai isme? Aadhe se jyada Greek ladkiyan jiske sath committed hoti hai wo life time uske sath he rehti hai. Virginity ek symbol hai pyaar par trust ka aur botanist jaisi boring Vicki ki life me kabhi utna khaas ladka aaya he nahi. Isliye toh mujhe mom ka darr hai, kahi Arjun ko he na keh de ki wo Vicki se shaadi kar le agar dono ne wo sab kiya toh.",Preeti ne ek aur atchi baat batai thi Greece ki ladkiyon ke baare me aur unke pyaar par vishwas ki.
"Phir Vicki ko kar raaji aur jaan ne ki koshish kar uski mom ke baare me.", Ritu abhi aage aur bhi kuch batati us se pehle he apne naam ki awaaj sunn kar uth khadi hui. Komal didi ne pukara tha usko niche se.
"Chal yar niche he chalte hai. Aur dupatta aise le, behanji ki tarah nahi. Haan.. ab lagi toh Preeti Sharma.", Hanste hue Ritu ne Preeti ko chheda lekin jawaab me wo bhi muskura rahi thi.
"Ab jo hu toh wahi lagungi na.. Thank you so much apni paayal dene ke liye aur is sabke liye bhi."
"Mujhe thank you nahi chahiye, kiss karne de bas ek.", Ritu ab kaamyab rahi thi Preeti ko tang karne me.
"Chii... kuch bhi bolti rehti ho aap. Chalo niche aur filhal thank you se he kaam chalao. Kal Arjun ko kiss kar dungi toh us se he le lena meri kiss.", Preeti bhi ab kaha pehle jaisi rahi thi. Atcha jawaab de kar wo Ritu ke sath he niche chali aayi jaha pehle se he Romela Rekha aur Krishna ke pas baithi thi. Teeno ke sath sath Kaushalya ji bhi kamre se bahar aati hui Preeti ko dekh kar ruk he gayi. Wo is roop me kamaal ki lag rahi thi, Ritu se barabar takkar leti ek khoobsurat hindustani youvana.
"Dekh le Romela, ye abhi se meri chahat poori kar rahi hai. Najar na lage meri bachi ko.", Yaha bhi Kaushalya ji ne Preeti ko najar ka tika Ritu ki aankhon ke kajal se karte hue jaise kuch sabit he kiya. Ek dusre ki poorak jo thi ye dono.
"Sachmuch aunty ji, Preeti kahi se bhi waisi nahi lag rahi jaisi hamesha dikhti hai. Rekha, ye dono he ek sath kitni atchi lag rahi hai na? Aur ye payal kab li tumne Preeti?"
"Maa, ye Ritu didi ne di hai. Unhone he suit bhi dilwaya tha aur ab main aise he dher saare suit lene wali hu.", Preeti chalti hui apni maa aur Rekha ji ke beech he baith gayi. Ritu ne yahi khade hue he apni daadi ke gale me peeche se baahen daal di. Kaushalya ji ne bhi har bache ko barabar pyaar diya tha lekin ladkiyon me jaha Ritu unke dil ke kareeb thi wahi paute dono he samaan roop se khaas. Arjun chhota tha isliye he uski jyada parwah karti thi lekin phir bhi unhe maan tha toh bas Ritu par. Ritu bhi apni daadi ke he samaan thi guno aur kaam me.
"Dekh rahi ho daadi ye ladki har tarah se aapki bahu bann ne ke layak hai.", Dheemi awaaj me Ritu ne apni daadi ke kaam me kaha tha. Krishna ji bhi bade sneh se udhar Preeti ki bholi baatein sunn rahi thi. Idhar Kaushalya ji ke chehre ke bhaav toh Ritu na dekh paayi lekin jawaab ne sochne par majboor kar diya.
"Wo toh bahu banegi he is ghar ki lekin tera saya us par hamesha rehna chahiye. Mann se ye bholi bhali hai, sahi-galat ki jyada pehchan bhi nahi isko. Tu meri samajhdar beti hai jo duniya ko sabse behtar samajhti hai umar ke hisab se. Bhagwan tum dono ka prem aise he barkarar rakhe.", Kaushalya ji itna bol kar thoda palti toh jaise wo gale he lag gayi thi ek pal ke liye. Fir alag hui toh Komal didi ki awaaj sunai di.
"Daadi, aapne toh kaha tha Ritu ko bulane ke liye. Baat he bhool gayi kya aap?"
"Haan atcha yaad karwaya tumne. Ritu, tu jara mere sath chal scootry par ye agli market tak."
"Daadi, aap kyo taklif karti ho. Jo leke aana hai wo main he le aati hu Preeti ya Rupali ke sath ja kar."
"Daadi main hu ya tu hai? Jab jana mera jaruri hai tabhi toh keh rahi hu. Kapde badalne hai toh badal le, waise ye bhi thik hai. Main purse leke aayi.", Unki baat sunn kar Ritu turant apni maa ke kamre me chali gayi aur bahar aayi toh salwar kameej ke sath ab paanv me jooti aur aankhon par Arjun dwara aaj subah diya 'aviator' chasma tha purn shyaam rangat ka, dandi samet. Usko aise dekh kar Krishna ji bhi palak jhapkana bhool gayi aur Ritu hath hilati hui muskurate hue galiyare se bahar wale aangan me.
'Dug-dug' ki ye awaaj ghar me sirf Arjun ke hone par sunai padti thi aur is waqt Sanjiv bhi ghar na tha jo us motorcycle ko chalu karta. Komal didi ke sath he Preeti bhi bahar chali aayi jaise usko pata tha ke ye kaun hoga. Saamne Ritu he Arjun ki Rani par sawar dikhi toh Komal didi ka chehra ajeeb sa ho gaya. Preeti hans rahi thi.
"Ye kya shararat soojhi tumhe?"
"Unhe aati hai ye chalani didi. Arjun khud he sikhata raha hai aur ab wo chala leti hai.",Preeti ke aisa kehne par Ritu ne bhi chasma thoda niche karte hue badi behan ko aankh maari aur dupatta gale me ek taraf ghumate hue kamar ki aur se bandh liya. Idhar Kaushalya ji ke sath sath Rameshwar ji bhi chale aaye the kyonki ye shor unhe bhi pata tha. Lekin Preeti ki baat sunn kar wo bhi muskura diye.
"Sambhal kar leke jana beta thanedarni ko. Waise bhi scootry par toh ye janchne nahi wali thi.", Pandit ji ke swikarne par ab Komal didi khud bhi muskura uthi. Kaushalya ji bhi payedan par panv tikati atche se baithi aur Ritu ne gear daal kar 'Rani' ko aage badha diya. Ye ghatna sabke liye he chaukane wali thi siwaye Preeti ke.
"Tumhe nahi sikhaya Arjun ne motorcycle chalana?", Rameshwar ji ke swar me hasya ka putt tha aur Preeti bhi muskurate hue boli.
"Dada ji, mere liye toh driver rakhne ka farman hai na uncle (Shankar) ki taraf se. Waise bhi mujhe chalane ka shauk nahi hai."
"Wah puttar ji, aho bhaag Shankar ke. Seekhne toh kya dena upar se nakara banane ki sifarish aur kar di. Tumhe ab car seekhni chahiye bitiya kyonki jarurat kabhi bhi padd sakti hai. Jaise abhi na Arjun hai, Sanjiv aur Tara bhi nahi hai. Ye Ritu bhi chali gayi aur aise me jaruri jana pade tab? Driver par vishwas kya karna jab wo bhi aapki he gaadi chala raha ho, tankhvah ke badle. Hum jyada safe apne he hatho mehsoos karte hai na?", Pandit ji ne bade he pate ki baat ki thi aur Preeti ko bhi laga ke sachmuch car chalani aani he chahiye, Driver ho ya na ho lekin khud ke liye he sahi.
"Toh sikhane ke liye aapko kahu ya daadu ko?"
"Kal se Muneer le jaya karega tumhe aur phir Tara tumhara hath saaf karwa degi. Seekhna jaruri hai, driver toh tumhe milega he jaisa Shankar ne kaha. Atcha ab ek baar apne daadu ko bhi bula lao, jaruri baat karni hai.", Rameshwar ji itna keh kar andar chale gaye aur Komal abhi bhi wahi Preeti ke pas khadi thi.
"Ab lag raha hai na ke motorcycle bhi seekh leni chahiye thi?"
"Kya didi. Mujhe kabhi bhi motorcycle nahi seekhni, peeche baithna jyada sahi hai. Haan car jarur seekhungi aur aapke pas time ho toh sath he chalna, Rekha maa se main khud baat akr lungi.", Preeti ke is prastaav ko didi ne hanste hue mana kar diya.
"Sath chalne me koyi harz nahi hai lekin driving nahi seekhni. Waise tum bhool rahi ho ke dada ji ne kuch kaha hai tumhe."
"Aa kar baat karti hu aapse toh main.",Preeti bhi hansti hui apne dada ji ko bulane nikal chali aur Komal didi wapis andar. Unhe abhi hairat ho rahi thi ki Ritu wo bhari-bharkam motorcycle chalane lagi thi aur Arjun he sikha raha tha usko.
'Inka prem naa jaane aur kya kya kartab karega. Dono pagal he hai aur jaanti hu ke ye Arjun ki farmaish he hogi ki Ritu seekhe ye sab.' Khud se he wo ye kahi jaa rahi thi aur muskura bhi rahi thi.

Yaha Sangwan ke farmhouse par toh aaj 3 baje he mehfil chalu ho gayi thi, wo bhi ghane vriksho ke chhaya tale. Narinder aur Umed ne 2 murge alag alag tarike se pakaye the jinko jarurat anusar patili aur degchi se nikal kar ye sab khaane ke sath gilas bhi khadka rahe the. Sara taamjham jameen par he dari bicha kar ho raha tha. Jaam Gulati bana raha tha aur soda-baraf ka jimma Daleep ke hath. Paramvir ne 2 badi plate salaad kaat liya tha is beech aur ab jaam ke sath sath majedar baatein bhi chalu ho gayi.
"Aisa he bhai logo, hum sabhi aapas me saalo se ek dusre ke sath hai. Ek dusre ko thik-thaak jaante hai toh meri mansha hai ke pehchan thodi aur badhai jaaye.", Sangwan ki is baat par Bhuppi ne toh bina soche sehmati de di aur jo khel wo khelne wala tha uska andesha baaki sabhi ko bhi ho gaya.
"Jaan pehchan badhana toh badhiya khel hai lekin Jaat bhai, sawaal dard bhare na ho.", Narinder ne jaise kuch soch kar ye kaha aur sabhi ne sehmati me ek ek lambi ghoot sharaab ki niche utaar li.
"Inder jaani, main na bawli gaand jarur hu lekin itna bhi nahi ke hansi-khushi ke mahol ki maa chod du. Ye roasted chicken ki kasam dost, aisi chutiya baat nahi karenge jis se dil dukhe. Iski kasam isliye kyonki aaj tak ka sabse behtareen murga khaya hai tere bhai ne aur Umed bhai bahot dhanyawad iske liye. Lugai hote toh hath choom leta, datya ho toh dur se hath jodd kar shukriya.", Is baat par sabhi ke thahake goonj uthe. Yahi toh yari dosti hai jisme koyi swarth nahi aur umar badhne par kahi jyada he gehri.
"Chal tu shuru toh kar kya khel khelna hai.", Ye Shankar ne kaha aur Sangwan ne beech me ek thaali rakh di.
"Baat aisi ke khel toh videshi hai par isme desi tadka laga diya gaya hai ma-badolat Shri Shri 2016 Paramvir ji Sangwan ji ne. Bottle ka dhakk jiski kaani (taraf) rukega wo sawaal karega aur baaki sab log jawaab denge. Matlab ek sawaal aur sabke jawaab uske he anusar."
"Bhosdike jaat, tu na sudhariyo. Apne naam ke sath gaanv, pincode, tehsil bhi bata deta. Chal ghuma is bottle ko aur dekhe kiske hath me lagaam aati hai.",Shankar utsahit tha aur jaam khali karke gilas niche tika diya. Udhar sabhi ki najar thali me padi gol bottle par thi aur Sangwani ne usko firki ki tarah ghuma dia. Aakhir me wo aa ruki Mehul Gulati ke saamne.
"Lag gaye lode jo is punjabi ki baari aa gayi.", Bhuppi ko jaise iski jara ummeed na thi.
"Teri he gaand marta hu dekhta reh.", Baat kehne ke sath he ek tukda meat ka chabate hue jaam bhi halak me khali karke Gulati ne mooh saaf kiya.
"Aaj tak kitni ladkiyon se sambandh banaye hai? Baki sabhi bhi jabtak ginti kar he lo bhai logo, Bhuppi ke baad sabka number chakki chalane ke hisab se aane wala hai.", Gulati ne pehle he sawaal me bomb fodd diya tha.
"4. Aaj tak 4 ke sath bhai lekin shaadi se pehle thi jo baki 3 thi.", Bhuppi ke jawab ke sath he ab khel shuru ho chuka tha. Daleep ne sabke jaam phir se banane shuru kar diye jaise wo dhyaan hatana chahta ho.
"Bhai mera toh koyi idea he nahi hai lekin tu 50 maan he le jinme se 20 toh Russian he hongi.", Ye swar tha Paramvir Sangwan ka aur ab Inder dekh raha tha usko hairani se. Ye safedposh doctor 50 mahilao aur yuvtiyo ke sath sambandh bana chuka tha. Agli bari thi Daleep ki aur usko chetaya Umed ne.
"Daleep bhai, jawaab do jara.", Umed ki hansi se Daleep thoda sharminda ho gaya.
"Wo meri biwi se pehle 15 ke kareeb aur shaadi ke baad bas 4. Total 20."
"Shaadi ke baad 4 toh aise keh rahe ho jaise badi lachaar zindagi hai. 4 bhi kam hoti hai kya?", Narinder ne bhi chutki li toh Daleep bagle jhaankne laga. Uske barabar baithe hue Shankar ki toh abhi tak ginti chalu thi.
"Oh jallad, tu bhi phoot padd kitni seal kholi hai aaj tak.", Sangwan abhi tak toh sabse aage tha ginti me.
"Seal toh jyada na kholi maine koyi 25-26 he hongi jo pehli baar he kar rahi thi. Haan nurse aur doctor ko mila kar koyi 150 maan he lo. Randi inme se koyi nahi thi.", Ab Umed ke bhi kaan garam ho gaye ye aankda sunn kar. Shanakar toh aise muskura raha tha jaise world cup jeet liya ho.
"Yar Gulati jawaab tu tujhe bhi dena padega sabke baad.", Ye baat Bhuppi ne kahi toh Gulati ne haami bhar di.
"Ab bhai Inder tu bhi bol de jara. Hain toh tu bhi Shankar ka saga bhai aur humdum.", Gulati ke kathan par Umed aur Narinder dono he hansne lage wahi Shankar khisiya kar idhar udhar dekhne laga.
"Bhai 2. Ek shaadi se pehle aur ek jiske sath shaadi ki hai bas wahi. Pehle wala sambandh bhi meri taraf se nahi tha aur main apni Krishna ke sath sukhi hu.", Narinder ka jawaab hatprabh karne wala tha aur ye uttar Umed ke sath Shankar bhi jaante the. Shankar ko ummeed nahi thi ki Inder us ek sambandh ko bhi yaha ujagar karega jo vivah se pehle banaya gaya tha.
"Kya baat bhai? Shankar ke toh college me he darjan paar ho chuke the toh tum kaise kore reh gaye?", Bhuppi ke sawal par Daleep bhi jaan na chahta tha.
"Aisa hai Bhupinder bhai ke pehle kabhi us taraf dhyaan he nahi gaya tha aur jab gaya toh jiwan-sangini he bana liya usko. Aur sachmuch mujhe kabhi koyi kami mehsoos nahi hui, ulta meri biwi ne he mujhe us pyaar se bahar na aane diya jis se hum dono aajtak bandhe hai. Sharir he toh hai, ek kya aur 100 kya lekin pyaar aur samarpan hai toh wo ek he bahot hai. Jaante ho mere dost bhi ungliyon se kam rahe hai kyonki shaadi tak toh ye dono he hamesha sath rahe mere toh aur kisi ki jarurat he mehsoos nahi hui.", Narinder ne bataya tha ki sahi jiwan ka asli mantra jyada aankdo me nahi balki behtar sathi se hai.
"Waah bhai. Gazab insaan ho yar tum toh. Isliye he toh humne ye khel khelna atcha samjha. Dosti me humko ek dusre ka behtar pata hona chahiye jis se kabhi tumhare saamne galat sthiti na paida ho. Khair ab baari aati hai apne daitya bhai sahab ki.", Sangwan ke itna kehte he Umed ne bas ek ungli utha di.
"Ek aur wahi shresth hai bhai apne liye toh. Sach kahu toh main na he kaamuk insaan hu aur na meri sangini ne kabhi adhura he chhoda mujhe. Yaha baithe sabhi dosto me se vivah bhi mera he pehle hua hoga, Daleep bhai ke baad. Aur vivah se pehle toh hum log bas Bhole ke prehri bhar rahe hai aise kaamo me.", Umed ne jaise he nigrani wali baat kahi toh Shankar bhi hansne laga. Khet khalihan wale us purane daur me yahi log toh usko aisa sthaan dete the jaha Shankar garmi nikal sake ya premikao se mil sake.
"Waah waah.. Behanchod ye hai bhaichara toh. Waise Punjabi ab tu bhi tere number bata de.", Sangwan ne murge ki boti udhedte hue aankhe upar niche karke Mehul ko uski baari yaad dilai.
"100 se 10 upar niche. Ab ye Shankar maharaj ki kirpa hai jo pehla gyaan bhi inhone he dilwaya tha aur aaj bhi mauka dilwate rehte hai. Baaki gharwali aaj bhi sath de deti hai jab kabhi bahar mood na ho toh.", Gulati ke aankde bhi ummeed se kahi jyada he the. Usko poora gilas ek baar me khali karte dekh baaki sabhi ne waisa he kiya. Dost the aur jaam tak eksath khali karna jaise ek riwaaj tha ab.
"Baap aa gaya behanchod. Aur inhe bataya kisne yaha ke baare me?", Sangwan ki gaand he udhad gayi us kaali mercedes jeep ko gate se andar aate dekh. Shankar ne hath ke ishare se waise he baithne ko kaha aur Daleep peg banane jutt gaya fir se.
"Baap he hai bhai, kitni baar daru pee hai ginti bhi yaad nahi. Chacha kuch nahi kehne wale.", Aur Dharamvir Sangwan ji inki he aur chale aaye, Tyson ko sath liye.
"Ye nakli jaat sala gandu apni bebe (behan) ko lara laga kar yaha murga-daaru udhed raha hai. Saanjh ho gayi aur Richa tere goli maaregi jaate he. Daleep beta mera bhi peg ghaal (daal). Murge ki sorum (khusbu) tagdi aa rahi hai.", Jooti utaar kar wo bhi Narinder ki bagal me aa baithe.
"Bebe ne kya kaam kaha tha isko? Ye toh bola ki aapne party karne ki ijajat di hai toh humne bottle khol li. Nahi toh din me kabhi daaru peete dekha aapne mujhe.", Shankar jaise aise he mauke ki talaash me tha.
"Papa yu bhadkaan lag raha hai."
"Pata hai beta tum saare kitne he layak ho. Kuch log idhar araam karne aaye the aur baaki chikitsak shagal-mela karne pahuch gaye. Nikkammo maan liya ke kabhi kabhi aish-masti karni chahiye lekin pata toh ho. Ye Bhuppi bata ke aaya tha mujhe ki kaha jaa rahe ho tum log toh samajh gaya party hogi."
"Waise aap toh is waqt ghar he hote ho.", Gulati ke aisa kehne par unhone ek ghoont bharte hu bura sa mooh banaya.
"Beti ne ghar se likaad diya toh socha gum mitane ke liye main bhi tum logo se kuch jaam udhaar maang lu. Waise murga gazab banaya hai jisne bhi banaya hai.", Narinder unki baat sunn kar hans raha tha. Aise he mastmaula insaan the Dharamvir Sangwan ji. Bacho ke sath kab bacha aur kab baap ban kar rehna hai unhe atche se pata tha.
"Papa ye wala Umed ne aur jo aap kha rahe ho wo Inder ne banaya hai. Jama malaai barga naram aur kya masaale hai. Aahh.. maja aa gaya."
"Bhai Inder, tum aur Umed na eitwar (sunday) shaam mere sath baitho. Sikha bhi dena aur hum teeno guftgu bhi kar lenge.", Yaha mel milaap ka daur ab lamba chalne wala tha aur ghar ki chinta inme se kisi ko na thi.

5 baje car se Arjun apni dono behno ko liye Modal Town ki is badi market me aa chuka tha jaha unhe apne kapde aur gharwalo dwara bataya samaan kharidna tha. Gurdeep ke sath atchi khaasi mehnat karne ke baad wo dedh ghanta soya tha aur Gurdeep apne ghar par abhi tak bister pe thi.
"Aap log yahi milna main aadhe ghante se pehle he aa jaunga. Ye paise maa ne diye the, samaan ke liye.", Arjun ne car me baithe hue he Alka ke purse me wo noto ki gaddi daalte hue hidayat di aur dono ko dukaan tak jaate dekhta raha. Ye wahi jagah thi jaha Aarti aur Priyanka didi ne usko wo aadhunik kapde le kar diye the. Gurdwara sahib ke saamne se car ko Jagtar urf Jaggi bhai ke ghar ki le jata wo ab Jasleen ka dhyaan kar raha tha. Pichli bar jaane se pehle jo pyaar wo Jasleen me jagah gaya tha kya wo aaj bhi kayam hoga ya halaat alag honge? Phone par hamesha he baat aspasht hoti thi chahe wo 3-4 baar baat kar chuke the.
Jawaan Din-Haseen Raat (2)
"Itni bekarar ho?", Arjun ne bhi jaali ke sath lakdi wala bhi darwaja band karne ke baad us gadrai jawani ko baahon me bhar liya. Ek pal me samajh gaya ki badan me nahane ke baad wali nami hai aur andar sabkuch ajaad. Wo motte sakht stann bhi aur bhaari nitambh bhi. Gurdeep ke haath bhi Arjun ki peeth par kass chuke the.
"Bata bhi nahi sakti ki meri haalat kya hai. Ek toh pehli mulakaat me he dard de diya aur uske baad itni lambi judaai."
"Dard diya tha toh? Phir toh tumhe mere pas nahi hona chahiye.", Arjun wo 38 ke motte gaddedar chuttat masalte hue Gurdeep ko jaise satane laga.
"Aahhh.. dard waha nahi, yaha diya tha. Ab baatein matt karo, bas wo pyaar do jis se main kuch din wo kami mehsoos na karu. aahhh...", Pajama is gadraye motte hisse par atche se fansa tha aur Gurdeep ki halat ko samajhte hue Arjun usko goad me uthaye chacha wale kamre me chal diya. Gurdeep ne dil ke dard ki baat kahi thi aur Arjun apne pyaar se wahi dur karne wale tha is Bholi sardarni ka.
Us bade bister par aate he unka josh parwan chadh gaya. Wo makhmali gadrai sardarni kisi taja gulaab si mehak bikherti khud he Arjun ko apne jism par girati hui uska chehra choomne lagi thi. Gurdeep ke wo malai se naram aur gulabi honth aakhir mil he gaye apne harjaai ke hontho se. Wo chumban purkashish se bhara jaane kab tak chala aur Arjun ke hantho dono he motte gubbare se chuche masalwati hui Gurdeep khud he kamar ko uchkane lagi.
"Ufff.. sehan nahi hota yar..ummmm..", Gurdeep ki tadap aur halat dekh Arjun ek pal alag hua kapde utarne ke liye. Din ke ujaale me jald he dono ek dusre ke nirvastra aakarshak badan ko niharne lage. Gurdeep ke chehre par aayi laali aur lund se najre hatana bata raha tha ke wo kaam-jwar me tapne ke sath ab sharma rahi thi. Safed motte chuche itne bhaari the ki shayad Priyanka wale parvat bhi 19 the inke saamne. Arjun ne apne sakht lund par Gurdeep ki naram hatheli rakhte hue jhuk kar kaha.
"Is se he sharmaogi toh ye bura bhi maan sakta hai. Pyaar se pakad kar sehlane se shayad ye tumhara sath de.", Arjun ki baatein asar karti us se pehle he Gurdeep ne wo hatheli ke ghere se motta moosal kas ke thaam liya. Aakarshit toh wo bhi thi us jaandar ang se aur wo sakhti jaise gehra asar karne lagi. Arjun bhi masti me dooba un kathai nipple ko mooh me liye ek motte chuche ko chusakne laga toh Gurdeep ne bhi jaange khol di. Taja baal saaf ki hui wo gori-gulabi choot shehad tapka rahi thi.
"Aaahh.. araam se yar.. bade sensitive ho gaye hai ye jabse inhe tumne pehli baar hath lagaya hai. Uff... aur main bhi kuch dena chahti hu aaj tumhe.", Ek hath se lund muthiyati hui Gurdeep dusre se Arjun ke baal sehla rahi thi. Arjun ko apne chucho par itna aasakt dekh maje ke sath he Gurdeep muskura rahi thi. Aise drishya me jo kamukta ek garam ladki ke chehre par aati hai wo jaise bikhar rahi thi Gurdeep ke chehre par. Arjun baat sunn kar alag hote hue bagal me leit gaya. Ab Gurdeep uske seene par dono doodh tikati aage kehne lagi.
"Video dekhi thi maine worldsex par kuch din pehle. Ye thoda jyada motta aur bada hai lekin main waisa he karke dekhna chahti hu.", Gurdeep ki aadhi adhuri baat bhi Arjun samajh chuka tha. Wo nirantar us tagde moosal ko hilati rahi.
"Sath me karte hai jis se tumhe bhi atcha laga.", Arjun sarak kar ab Gurdeep ki motti chikni jaangho ki taraf aa gaya. Gol naabhi se 6 inch niche he wo poora maidaan chamak raha tha jaha phooli hui choot kaamras se labrej mehak rahi thi. Choot ko intjaar na karna pada aur Arjun ki jeebh ne karamat dikhani chalu kar di.
"Ishhh... ye kya karne lage aahhh.. baap re.. ummmm.. maahhh.. ", Gurdeep ne phir se lund ko kabje me lete hue jor se bheench liya. Arjun ne choot ko atche se choomte hue chehra wahi daba diya. Thumakta hua laal supada he Gurdeep ko apni aahen band karne ki ummeed dikha. Ye kaamshashtra ki wahi unhattar wali mudra thi jo khaas prachalit na thi. Gurdeep ko ek pal wo lisa-lisa sa swaad ajeeb laga lekin sab bhula kar wo bhi lund ko supade se thoda aaga tak apne geele garam mooh me utaar gayi. Agle 5 minute me he uska gardraya jism jhatke lene laga aur honth us jarurat se adhik motte ling par kahi jor se lipat gaye. Arjun ke alag hote he Gurdeep bhi bister par peeth ke bal pasarti hui gehri saansein lene lagi. Chuche kampann se thirak rahe the aur Arjun ne sahi waqt dekhte hue kriya aage badhane ka nishchaya kiya.
"Himmat rakhna Deepi, dusri he baar hai aur mujhe lagta hai ke dard jarur hoga.", Bhaari jaanghe failate hue Arjun ne paniyaai taja sakhalit choot ke muhane supada bhidate hue Gurdeep ko chetaya toh laal doro se bhari aankhen batane ke liye bahot thi ki wo tayaar hai.
"Jism toddne se pehle matt alag hona.. aahh..", Aisi himmat dekh Arjun bhi poori tarah us maansal naram jism par chha gaya. Hontho ko chooste hue ek karare dhakke ke sath he wo lagbhag anchudi choot chirti chali gayi. 5 inch ki duri choot ke kaamras aur uttejana ki wajah se wo bhishan lund us dhakke me taye kar gaya.
"Unnnnngg....", Na chahte hue bhi band hontho ke beech se wo dard ki awaaj bahar aa he gayi, aankhon me aansuon ke sath. Gurdeep ke lachile badan ki harkat Arjun ki kamar par taange bandhne se najar aayi. Ek aur dhakke ne garbh ko he choom liya. Motte dugdh-kalash piss chuke the chaudi chhati tale aur choot kisi parat ki tarah lipati hui us majboot lund ko mehsoos karne lagi. Ye himmat Gurdeep ki Arjun ke prati gehri chahat saaf batati thi. Hontho ki harkat hote he Arjun bhi haule haule un rasbhare labo ka ras peene laga. Kamar ko hilana aisa lag raha tha jaise darwaje me dhansi koyi keel plaas se nikali ja rahi ho. Aadhe lund ko bahar nikalte he Arjun ne honth alag kar liya.
"Faad ke toh rakh he di hai.. aahh.. ab rukna nahi.. aahh.. sachmuch bahot motta hai yar tumhara aur andar tak lagta hai.", Gurdeep ki boli baatein aur aankhon me aaye aansu dekh Arjun ne halke se dono aankhen choomte hue badi najakat se lund wapis andar utaar diya. Choot buri tarah fail chuki thi lekin chiknahat ne sath diya.
"Us din toh bas josh me ho gaya tha Deepi.. Huhh.. aaj tumhe main araam se pyaar karna chahta tha... bahot tight hai tumhari lekin himmat dikhai.. Bahot sundar bhi ho..", Arjun ne dono panje un gubbare par lagate hue choot ko araam se chodna shuru kiya toh Gurdeep dard ke bawjood maja le rahi thi. Uski choot aaj dusri he baar lund le rahi thi jis se har dheema gharshan bhi kahi jordar lagta tha. Aise he is saral mudra me chudai gati pakadne lagi thi aur jald he dard tej siskiyon me badal gaya.
"Aahh... aise he karte raho.. ummm.. mujhe nahi lagta ke aaahh... kabhi tumhari jagah koyi aur le paayega.. Arjunn.nn I love you..", Gurdeep kaam-sagar me tairti hui bhi apne dil ki chahat ujagar kar rahi thi. Sach he toh tha ke uske jism ke sath aatma ne bhi khud ko Arjun ke hawale kar chhoda tha. Arjun ke chehre ko har taraf choomne ke baad usne khud he uska chehra apne ek motte gubbare par tika diya. Chucho ko chuswana bhi aisa sukhdayi ho sakta hai ye bas kuch waqt pehle tak usko na pata tha aur na koyi anubhav tha. Thandak bhare kamre me bhi dono jismo ki garmi badh he rahi thi. Dhimi chudai ab badal kar lambe aur gehre dhakko ke sath raftar lene lagi thi. Choot ne dursi baar baandh todte hue rass bahaya toh Arjun alag ho gaya. Gurdeep ki ukhadi hui saansein aur band aankhen bata rahi thi ki wo kitna durlabh charam mehsoos kar rahi hai. Choot me khaalipan ka ehsaas hote he usne Arjun ko dekha.
"Tum bahot he pyaari ho Deepi. Main tumhare sath kahi galat toh nahi kar raha?"
"Bade aaye galat aur sahi batane wale. Jisme sirf pyaar aur sukh ho, wo sahi aur galat se pare hai mister. Ab meri baari hai.", Tarbooj se motte chuttad failati wo Arjun ke upar aa chadhi. Arjun jawaab deta us se pehle samooche lund ko apni geeli choot me utaarti hui Gurdeeep ne wo lambi siski lete hue mansha spasht kar di. Is khel me anubhavi na sahi lekin josh bharpoor tha is ladki me. Ab sachmuch maje ki baari Arjun ki thi aur Gurdeep ke motte motte ubhar seene par ragadte hue apna kaam karne lage. Savere Alka ke sath adhuru milan se uttejit Arjun bhi 10 minute me akadne laga tha Gurdeep ke niche.
"Aahhh.. hone wala hai mera Deepi.. Hato..", Gurdeep itna sunte he lund ko bahar nikalti hui apni geeli choot se he ragadne lagi.
"Uff... main bhi..", Arjun ka veerya dono ke jismo ke beech he baras kar reh gaya. Alag hote he Gurdeep hansne lagi.
"Dekho kya halat hai hum dono ki. Phir se nahana padega.", Dono ke he peit kaamras aur veerya se sann chuke the aur Gurdeep ke uthte he Arjun ki nigah thirakte vishaal kulho aur tarbooj si laal ho chuki choot par padi. Murjhat hue lund ne bhi harkat karke sehmati jatai ki Gurdeep ki wo khaas jagah pasand aayi.
"Jaha dekh rahe ho mujhe pata hai bachu. Iske liye tumhe mehnat karni padegi kyonki wo tumhe chahiye, mujhe jo chahiye tha uske liye maine mehnat ki. Aaj sath he nahate hai.", Gurdeep ne jis kamukta se Arjun ko ishara kiya tha wo jhatt uth kar uske sath bathroom me ghuss gaya. Jo chahiye tha uske liye mehnat toh karni he thi.
.
.
"Arjun se mili thi jaane se pehle?", Ritu ke sath is waqt sirf Preeti he thi yaha upar Ritu-Alka ke kamre me aur dopahar ke is samay ghar me jo bhi hulchal thi us se ye wala hissa achhoota tha. Hamesha he khile gulab si rehne wali Preeti is waqt thodi udaas thi aur Ritu se behtar sangini aur kaun ho sakti thi jo ye udaasi na samajh sakti.
"Pata he nahi tha ke wo Punjab ja raha hai aur aapke saamne he toh wapis aaye the sab. Maa ne jab bataya tabtak toh wo nikal bhi chuka tha. Aap he bulane aa jati agar aapko pata chal gaya tha toh.", Preeti ne ek rubber se apne kandhe se niche tak ke baalo ko bandha hua tha aur aaj wo safed salwar kameej me thi, apni veshbhusha ke viprit. Ritu ne bhi ek chhoti si kaali bindi us pyaare chehre ke maathe par lagane ke baad Preeti ki thuddi ke niche hath rakhte hue jawaab diya.
"Mujhe pata hota toh kya main tujhe batati nahi? Upar se subah thoda mahol kharaab ho gaya tha jis se mera mood bhi down ho gaya. Jaane se pehle Arjun aaya tha mujhse milne aur bol kar gaya tha ke main tumhara atche se dhyaan rakhu. Kal wapis aane ke baad wo tumhare sath atcha time bitane wala hai. Waise tumhe kahi is baat ka bura toh nahi lag raha ki waha gaanv jaane ki wajah se tum dono mil nahi paaye?", Arjun dwara kahi baatein Ritu se sunn kar ab Preeti ke chehre par bhi khushi aa gayi thi. Ritu ne wo khaas payal ki jodi Preeti ke gore paanv me pehnaai toh Preeti ki aankhon me halki si nami bhi aa gayi.
"Pata nahi didi aisa lagta hai ke shayad main utna pyaar Arjun ko nahi de pa rahi jitna wo karta hai. Aur aapka pyaar mere sath na hota toh shayad main jyada galtiyan kar jaati. I love you so much and please always stay with me like this, forever.", Ritu ne dono payal pehnane ke baad ek baar baithe hue he Preeti ko gale se lagaya aur uth kar almari se nail-polish nikalte hue kehne lagi.
"Tere sath he toh rehna hai saari zindagi aur waise bhi mere liye tum bhi utni he jaruri ho jitna Arjun. Yakeen karo tum usko us se jyada pyaar karti ho aur iska example hai tumhara usko har roop me swikaar karna. Kaisa lagta hai jab wo kisi aur ke sath ho jabki pyaar wo hamara hai? Hum dono he is baat ko atche se samajhti hai ki Arjun aisa tabtak he kar raha hai jabtak sharir me badlaav aa rahe hai aur hum filhal rishta bana nahi sakte. Jab tum uski zindagi me biwi bann kar aa jaogi na Preeti, wo kisi ki taraf dekhne wala bhi nahi.", Gore haatho ki lambi ungliyon ke nakhoon bhi sahi lambai ke sath bedaag the Preeti ke. Ritu ne ek hath ko pakadte hue polish lagane ka upkram kiya toh Preeti halke se muskurai. Ritu uska sachmuch behan se jyada khayal rakhti thi.
"Main chahti hu ke pehle aap uski biwi bane ya phir hum dono he sath me. Aur mujhe bura nahi lagta Arjun ko kisi aur ke sath sambandh banane se kyonki wo pehal nahi karta. Aur shaadi ke baad aap atche se sambhal lengi usko."
"Dhatt... uske liye toh sunday-monday banane padd rahe hai aur tum kehti ho main akeli sambhal lungi. Waise shaadi tumhe he pehle karni padegi Preeti aur ye mai kisi wajah se he keh rahi hu.", Preeti ektak Ritu ke us gambhir chehre ko dekhne lagi jaha ek pal pehle muskurahat aur sharam thi.
"Aisi kya wajah hai? Badi aap hai toh pehla haq bhi aapka he hua."
"Tum asliyat bhool rahi ho mere aur Arjun ke rishtey ki. Shaadi toh jaise taise ho he jayegi lekin is ghar me nahi. Tum yaha ki bahu banogi aur main idhar se bahar ja kar. Safar abhi dur hai lekin ye batana jaruri tha jis se tumhe bhi waise dhalne me pareshani na ho. Ye ek kadwa sach hai Preeti ki is ghar me main kabhi bhi Arjun ki biwi ka darja nahi paane wali aur main bhi chahti hu ke yaha tum ekmatra biwi aur bahu raho. Waise itna pareshan bhi matt hona jyada soch kar, bahot saal pade hai is sabke liye.", Ritu phir se pehle ki tarah muskurane lagi thi aur Preeti ki soch ko viram laga.
"Waise Manju bhi 2 saal se pehle he hamesha ke liye idhar se jaane wali hai didi. Arjun ne poori koshish ki hai usko khush rakhne ki aur wo hai bhi lekin ab jaise wo khud apni life ko badalne ka soch chuki hai. Kitna ajeeb hain na ye sab aur Arjun agar usko na sambhalta toh bahot bura ho sakta tha uske sath.", Preeti ne yaha Manju ka jikar kiya toh Ritu ne dusre hath ko pakad liya.
"Kaise bura hone deta wo Manju ke sath? Wo Arjun se pyaar karti hai toh Arjun parwah karega he lekin Manju jaise apne naye lakshya bana chuki hai aur Arjun bhi uska sath de raha hai jaise tu. Ek majboot vyakti he aise fainsle le sakta hai aur haarne ki jagah jiwan ko aur behtar banane ki koshish karne wali Manju ne mujhe bhi prerit kiya hai. Waise teri maami bhi aa rahi hai, jitna maine suna hai. Vicki se milne ya phir kuch aur wajah hai?"
"Hahaha.. Vicki se milne kyo aayengi wo? Aaj maa ki baat suni thi maine thodi bahot jab wo phone par lagi hui thi. Unko toh maloom hai ghar me kisi ko greek nahi aati lekin mujhe bhool gayi. Wo maami ko surprise dene ki baat kar rahi hai aur is baar maami hafte bhar idhar rehne wali hai shaadi me shamil hone ke sath sath.", Preeti ki baat me abhi bhi rehasya chhupa tha.
"Poori baat bata na, kyu maje le rahi hai.", Ritu ko toh pata he tha ke Preeti aise he baat aage badhayegi.
"Wo keh rahi thi ki unke pas koyi hai jo ek ideal lover hai, dil aur sharir ko atche se satisfy karne wala. Aisa lover jaisa maami ne kabhi khayalo me bhi na socha ho aur agar maami unki baat maanegi toh wo unke sath bhi usko share kar sakti hai. Maa ki baaton se laga tha jaisa wo maami se is topic par pehle bhi thodi bahot baat kar chuki hai aur meri soch kehti hai ke maa ki life me aisa koyi bhi nahi hai. Chahe papa ke sath unki chemistry ab atchi nahi hai lekin wo apne kaam par he focus rehti hai aur ghar se bahar toh kahi jaati nahi.", Preeti baaton ke sath sawaal karne lagi thi lekin Ritu ki kutil muskaan dekh aankhen badi ho gayi.
"Shit. Aisa impossible hai didi. Don't tell ki maa Arjun ki baat kar rahi thi?", Preeti ne he sawal-jawaab kiya tha hairaan hote hue.
"Aur kaun ho sakta hai jara khud he soch? Waise Arjun ne aisa kuch kiya toh nahi hai jitna main usko jaanti hu toh aunty ka aisa kehna samajh nahi aaya. Aur tumhari maami kya nympho hai jo sirf aisi baat par idhar aane wali hai? Jarur masla kuch aur he hai Preeti kyonki aunty ne aajtak toh Arjun ke saamne aisi waisi harkat nahi ki. Tum jara ab thoda dhyaan rakhna ke wo udhar aata hai toh unki reaction aur expressions kaise rehte hai. Lekin khabar dhamakedar hai. Tumhari maami toh khud he chalti firti aag hai aur aunty bhi kuch kam nahi."
"Chhiii... Maa aisa waisa nahi karne wali Arjun ke sath."
"Drawing yaad nahi hai kya? Aunty kehti nahi kyonki wo complex hai thodi jisko samajhna Alka aur mere liye bhi filhal mushkil he hai par unke jajbaat dikh he jaate hai agar dhyaan diya jaaye. Unhe dilchaspi toh hain apne damaad me lekin wo express nahi karti.", Ritu ki baat se Preeti ko bhi wo chitra yaad aa gaye jinhe Romela ne bada sahej kar rakha hua tha aur kitne behtareen banaye gaye the wo.
"Hmmm.. Sahi kaha aapne aur maine he gor nahi kiya is baat par. Maami ke baare me jaan ne ke liye ab Vicki ki he madad leni padegi. Wo apne aap he ek alag samasya hai.", Preeti ne Vicki ka jikar kiya toh Ritu hansne lagi.
"Kyu usko tadpa rahi hai yar? Uski haalat bhi samajh aur waise bhi hasrat poori karna bhaari padne wala hai Vicki ko. Hahaha."
"Hans lo aap lekin baat usko rokne ki nahi hai. Maa ke hote hue agar aisa kuch hua na toh baat bigad jayegi aur Vicki beshak university student hai aur umar me bhi badi lekin aaj tak virgin hai. Arjun ke sath kuch bhi ulta hua jo ki hona nischit hai, main bhi fasungi aur Arjun bhi. Maa ko Vicki se bahot lagaav hai aur yaha wo unki jimmewari hai. Unke jaate he main Vicki ko nahi rokne wali. Meri taraf se toh chahe wo kare kyonki tab jimmewar wahi hogi."
"Wo abhi tak virgin hai?"
"Hairani wali kya baat hai isme? Aadhe se jyada Greek ladkiyan jiske sath committed hoti hai wo life time uske sath he rehti hai. Virginity ek symbol hai pyaar par trust ka aur botanist jaisi boring Vicki ki life me kabhi utna khaas ladka aaya he nahi. Isliye toh mujhe mom ka darr hai, kahi Arjun ko he na keh de ki wo Vicki se shaadi kar le agar dono ne wo sab kiya toh.",Preeti ne ek aur atchi baat batai thi Greece ki ladkiyon ke baare me aur unke pyaar par vishwas ki.
"Phir Vicki ko kar raaji aur jaan ne ki koshish kar uski mom ke baare me.", Ritu abhi aage aur bhi kuch batati us se pehle he apne naam ki awaaj sunn kar uth khadi hui. Komal didi ne pukara tha usko niche se.
"Chal yar niche he chalte hai. Aur dupatta aise le, behanji ki tarah nahi. Haan.. ab lagi toh Preeti Sharma.", Hanste hue Ritu ne Preeti ko chheda lekin jawaab me wo bhi muskura rahi thi.
"Ab jo hu toh wahi lagungi na.. Thank you so much apni paayal dene ke liye aur is sabke liye bhi."
"Mujhe thank you nahi chahiye, kiss karne de bas ek.", Ritu ab kaamyab rahi thi Preeti ko tang karne me.
"Chii... kuch bhi bolti rehti ho aap. Chalo niche aur filhal thank you se he kaam chalao. Kal Arjun ko kiss kar dungi toh us se he le lena meri kiss.", Preeti bhi ab kaha pehle jaisi rahi thi. Atcha jawaab de kar wo Ritu ke sath he niche chali aayi jaha pehle se he Romela Rekha aur Krishna ke pas baithi thi. Teeno ke sath sath Kaushalya ji bhi kamre se bahar aati hui Preeti ko dekh kar ruk he gayi. Wo is roop me kamaal ki lag rahi thi, Ritu se barabar takkar leti ek khoobsurat hindustani youvana.
"Dekh le Romela, ye abhi se meri chahat poori kar rahi hai. Najar na lage meri bachi ko.", Yaha bhi Kaushalya ji ne Preeti ko najar ka tika Ritu ki aankhon ke kajal se karte hue jaise kuch sabit he kiya. Ek dusre ki poorak jo thi ye dono.
"Sachmuch aunty ji, Preeti kahi se bhi waisi nahi lag rahi jaisi hamesha dikhti hai. Rekha, ye dono he ek sath kitni atchi lag rahi hai na? Aur ye payal kab li tumne Preeti?"
"Maa, ye Ritu didi ne di hai. Unhone he suit bhi dilwaya tha aur ab main aise he dher saare suit lene wali hu.", Preeti chalti hui apni maa aur Rekha ji ke beech he baith gayi. Ritu ne yahi khade hue he apni daadi ke gale me peeche se baahen daal di. Kaushalya ji ne bhi har bache ko barabar pyaar diya tha lekin ladkiyon me jaha Ritu unke dil ke kareeb thi wahi paute dono he samaan roop se khaas. Arjun chhota tha isliye he uski jyada parwah karti thi lekin phir bhi unhe maan tha toh bas Ritu par. Ritu bhi apni daadi ke he samaan thi guno aur kaam me.
"Dekh rahi ho daadi ye ladki har tarah se aapki bahu bann ne ke layak hai.", Dheemi awaaj me Ritu ne apni daadi ke kaam me kaha tha. Krishna ji bhi bade sneh se udhar Preeti ki bholi baatein sunn rahi thi. Idhar Kaushalya ji ke chehre ke bhaav toh Ritu na dekh paayi lekin jawaab ne sochne par majboor kar diya.
"Wo toh bahu banegi he is ghar ki lekin tera saya us par hamesha rehna chahiye. Mann se ye bholi bhali hai, sahi-galat ki jyada pehchan bhi nahi isko. Tu meri samajhdar beti hai jo duniya ko sabse behtar samajhti hai umar ke hisab se. Bhagwan tum dono ka prem aise he barkarar rakhe.", Kaushalya ji itna bol kar thoda palti toh jaise wo gale he lag gayi thi ek pal ke liye. Fir alag hui toh Komal didi ki awaaj sunai di.
"Daadi, aapne toh kaha tha Ritu ko bulane ke liye. Baat he bhool gayi kya aap?"
"Haan atcha yaad karwaya tumne. Ritu, tu jara mere sath chal scootry par ye agli market tak."
"Daadi, aap kyo taklif karti ho. Jo leke aana hai wo main he le aati hu Preeti ya Rupali ke sath ja kar."
"Daadi main hu ya tu hai? Jab jana mera jaruri hai tabhi toh keh rahi hu. Kapde badalne hai toh badal le, waise ye bhi thik hai. Main purse leke aayi.", Unki baat sunn kar Ritu turant apni maa ke kamre me chali gayi aur bahar aayi toh salwar kameej ke sath ab paanv me jooti aur aankhon par Arjun dwara aaj subah diya 'aviator' chasma tha purn shyaam rangat ka, dandi samet. Usko aise dekh kar Krishna ji bhi palak jhapkana bhool gayi aur Ritu hath hilati hui muskurate hue galiyare se bahar wale aangan me.
'Dug-dug' ki ye awaaj ghar me sirf Arjun ke hone par sunai padti thi aur is waqt Sanjiv bhi ghar na tha jo us motorcycle ko chalu karta. Komal didi ke sath he Preeti bhi bahar chali aayi jaise usko pata tha ke ye kaun hoga. Saamne Ritu he Arjun ki Rani par sawar dikhi toh Komal didi ka chehra ajeeb sa ho gaya. Preeti hans rahi thi.
"Ye kya shararat soojhi tumhe?"
"Unhe aati hai ye chalani didi. Arjun khud he sikhata raha hai aur ab wo chala leti hai.",Preeti ke aisa kehne par Ritu ne bhi chasma thoda niche karte hue badi behan ko aankh maari aur dupatta gale me ek taraf ghumate hue kamar ki aur se bandh liya. Idhar Kaushalya ji ke sath sath Rameshwar ji bhi chale aaye the kyonki ye shor unhe bhi pata tha. Lekin Preeti ki baat sunn kar wo bhi muskura diye.
"Sambhal kar leke jana beta thanedarni ko. Waise bhi scootry par toh ye janchne nahi wali thi.", Pandit ji ke swikarne par ab Komal didi khud bhi muskura uthi. Kaushalya ji bhi payedan par panv tikati atche se baithi aur Ritu ne gear daal kar 'Rani' ko aage badha diya. Ye ghatna sabke liye he chaukane wali thi siwaye Preeti ke.
"Tumhe nahi sikhaya Arjun ne motorcycle chalana?", Rameshwar ji ke swar me hasya ka putt tha aur Preeti bhi muskurate hue boli.
"Dada ji, mere liye toh driver rakhne ka farman hai na uncle (Shankar) ki taraf se. Waise bhi mujhe chalane ka shauk nahi hai."
"Wah puttar ji, aho bhaag Shankar ke. Seekhne toh kya dena upar se nakara banane ki sifarish aur kar di. Tumhe ab car seekhni chahiye bitiya kyonki jarurat kabhi bhi padd sakti hai. Jaise abhi na Arjun hai, Sanjiv aur Tara bhi nahi hai. Ye Ritu bhi chali gayi aur aise me jaruri jana pade tab? Driver par vishwas kya karna jab wo bhi aapki he gaadi chala raha ho, tankhvah ke badle. Hum jyada safe apne he hatho mehsoos karte hai na?", Pandit ji ne bade he pate ki baat ki thi aur Preeti ko bhi laga ke sachmuch car chalani aani he chahiye, Driver ho ya na ho lekin khud ke liye he sahi.
"Toh sikhane ke liye aapko kahu ya daadu ko?"
"Kal se Muneer le jaya karega tumhe aur phir Tara tumhara hath saaf karwa degi. Seekhna jaruri hai, driver toh tumhe milega he jaisa Shankar ne kaha. Atcha ab ek baar apne daadu ko bhi bula lao, jaruri baat karni hai.", Rameshwar ji itna keh kar andar chale gaye aur Komal abhi bhi wahi Preeti ke pas khadi thi.
"Ab lag raha hai na ke motorcycle bhi seekh leni chahiye thi?"
"Kya didi. Mujhe kabhi bhi motorcycle nahi seekhni, peeche baithna jyada sahi hai. Haan car jarur seekhungi aur aapke pas time ho toh sath he chalna, Rekha maa se main khud baat akr lungi.", Preeti ke is prastaav ko didi ne hanste hue mana kar diya.
"Sath chalne me koyi harz nahi hai lekin driving nahi seekhni. Waise tum bhool rahi ho ke dada ji ne kuch kaha hai tumhe."
"Aa kar baat karti hu aapse toh main.",Preeti bhi hansti hui apne dada ji ko bulane nikal chali aur Komal didi wapis andar. Unhe abhi hairat ho rahi thi ki Ritu wo bhari-bharkam motorcycle chalane lagi thi aur Arjun he sikha raha tha usko.
'Inka prem naa jaane aur kya kya kartab karega. Dono pagal he hai aur jaanti hu ke ye Arjun ki farmaish he hogi ki Ritu seekhe ye sab.' Khud se he wo ye kahi jaa rahi thi aur muskura bhi rahi thi.

Yaha Sangwan ke farmhouse par toh aaj 3 baje he mehfil chalu ho gayi thi, wo bhi ghane vriksho ke chhaya tale. Narinder aur Umed ne 2 murge alag alag tarike se pakaye the jinko jarurat anusar patili aur degchi se nikal kar ye sab khaane ke sath gilas bhi khadka rahe the. Sara taamjham jameen par he dari bicha kar ho raha tha. Jaam Gulati bana raha tha aur soda-baraf ka jimma Daleep ke hath. Paramvir ne 2 badi plate salaad kaat liya tha is beech aur ab jaam ke sath sath majedar baatein bhi chalu ho gayi.
"Aisa he bhai logo, hum sabhi aapas me saalo se ek dusre ke sath hai. Ek dusre ko thik-thaak jaante hai toh meri mansha hai ke pehchan thodi aur badhai jaaye.", Sangwan ki is baat par Bhuppi ne toh bina soche sehmati de di aur jo khel wo khelne wala tha uska andesha baaki sabhi ko bhi ho gaya.
"Jaan pehchan badhana toh badhiya khel hai lekin Jaat bhai, sawaal dard bhare na ho.", Narinder ne jaise kuch soch kar ye kaha aur sabhi ne sehmati me ek ek lambi ghoot sharaab ki niche utaar li.
"Inder jaani, main na bawli gaand jarur hu lekin itna bhi nahi ke hansi-khushi ke mahol ki maa chod du. Ye roasted chicken ki kasam dost, aisi chutiya baat nahi karenge jis se dil dukhe. Iski kasam isliye kyonki aaj tak ka sabse behtareen murga khaya hai tere bhai ne aur Umed bhai bahot dhanyawad iske liye. Lugai hote toh hath choom leta, datya ho toh dur se hath jodd kar shukriya.", Is baat par sabhi ke thahake goonj uthe. Yahi toh yari dosti hai jisme koyi swarth nahi aur umar badhne par kahi jyada he gehri.
"Chal tu shuru toh kar kya khel khelna hai.", Ye Shankar ne kaha aur Sangwan ne beech me ek thaali rakh di.
"Baat aisi ke khel toh videshi hai par isme desi tadka laga diya gaya hai ma-badolat Shri Shri 2016 Paramvir ji Sangwan ji ne. Bottle ka dhakk jiski kaani (taraf) rukega wo sawaal karega aur baaki sab log jawaab denge. Matlab ek sawaal aur sabke jawaab uske he anusar."
"Bhosdike jaat, tu na sudhariyo. Apne naam ke sath gaanv, pincode, tehsil bhi bata deta. Chal ghuma is bottle ko aur dekhe kiske hath me lagaam aati hai.",Shankar utsahit tha aur jaam khali karke gilas niche tika diya. Udhar sabhi ki najar thali me padi gol bottle par thi aur Sangwani ne usko firki ki tarah ghuma dia. Aakhir me wo aa ruki Mehul Gulati ke saamne.
"Lag gaye lode jo is punjabi ki baari aa gayi.", Bhuppi ko jaise iski jara ummeed na thi.
"Teri he gaand marta hu dekhta reh.", Baat kehne ke sath he ek tukda meat ka chabate hue jaam bhi halak me khali karke Gulati ne mooh saaf kiya.
"Aaj tak kitni ladkiyon se sambandh banaye hai? Baki sabhi bhi jabtak ginti kar he lo bhai logo, Bhuppi ke baad sabka number chakki chalane ke hisab se aane wala hai.", Gulati ne pehle he sawaal me bomb fodd diya tha.
"4. Aaj tak 4 ke sath bhai lekin shaadi se pehle thi jo baki 3 thi.", Bhuppi ke jawab ke sath he ab khel shuru ho chuka tha. Daleep ne sabke jaam phir se banane shuru kar diye jaise wo dhyaan hatana chahta ho.
"Bhai mera toh koyi idea he nahi hai lekin tu 50 maan he le jinme se 20 toh Russian he hongi.", Ye swar tha Paramvir Sangwan ka aur ab Inder dekh raha tha usko hairani se. Ye safedposh doctor 50 mahilao aur yuvtiyo ke sath sambandh bana chuka tha. Agli bari thi Daleep ki aur usko chetaya Umed ne.
"Daleep bhai, jawaab do jara.", Umed ki hansi se Daleep thoda sharminda ho gaya.
"Wo meri biwi se pehle 15 ke kareeb aur shaadi ke baad bas 4. Total 20."
"Shaadi ke baad 4 toh aise keh rahe ho jaise badi lachaar zindagi hai. 4 bhi kam hoti hai kya?", Narinder ne bhi chutki li toh Daleep bagle jhaankne laga. Uske barabar baithe hue Shankar ki toh abhi tak ginti chalu thi.
"Oh jallad, tu bhi phoot padd kitni seal kholi hai aaj tak.", Sangwan abhi tak toh sabse aage tha ginti me.
"Seal toh jyada na kholi maine koyi 25-26 he hongi jo pehli baar he kar rahi thi. Haan nurse aur doctor ko mila kar koyi 150 maan he lo. Randi inme se koyi nahi thi.", Ab Umed ke bhi kaan garam ho gaye ye aankda sunn kar. Shanakar toh aise muskura raha tha jaise world cup jeet liya ho.
"Yar Gulati jawaab tu tujhe bhi dena padega sabke baad.", Ye baat Bhuppi ne kahi toh Gulati ne haami bhar di.
"Ab bhai Inder tu bhi bol de jara. Hain toh tu bhi Shankar ka saga bhai aur humdum.", Gulati ke kathan par Umed aur Narinder dono he hansne lage wahi Shankar khisiya kar idhar udhar dekhne laga.
"Bhai 2. Ek shaadi se pehle aur ek jiske sath shaadi ki hai bas wahi. Pehle wala sambandh bhi meri taraf se nahi tha aur main apni Krishna ke sath sukhi hu.", Narinder ka jawaab hatprabh karne wala tha aur ye uttar Umed ke sath Shankar bhi jaante the. Shankar ko ummeed nahi thi ki Inder us ek sambandh ko bhi yaha ujagar karega jo vivah se pehle banaya gaya tha.
"Kya baat bhai? Shankar ke toh college me he darjan paar ho chuke the toh tum kaise kore reh gaye?", Bhuppi ke sawal par Daleep bhi jaan na chahta tha.
"Aisa hai Bhupinder bhai ke pehle kabhi us taraf dhyaan he nahi gaya tha aur jab gaya toh jiwan-sangini he bana liya usko. Aur sachmuch mujhe kabhi koyi kami mehsoos nahi hui, ulta meri biwi ne he mujhe us pyaar se bahar na aane diya jis se hum dono aajtak bandhe hai. Sharir he toh hai, ek kya aur 100 kya lekin pyaar aur samarpan hai toh wo ek he bahot hai. Jaante ho mere dost bhi ungliyon se kam rahe hai kyonki shaadi tak toh ye dono he hamesha sath rahe mere toh aur kisi ki jarurat he mehsoos nahi hui.", Narinder ne bataya tha ki sahi jiwan ka asli mantra jyada aankdo me nahi balki behtar sathi se hai.
"Waah bhai. Gazab insaan ho yar tum toh. Isliye he toh humne ye khel khelna atcha samjha. Dosti me humko ek dusre ka behtar pata hona chahiye jis se kabhi tumhare saamne galat sthiti na paida ho. Khair ab baari aati hai apne daitya bhai sahab ki.", Sangwan ke itna kehte he Umed ne bas ek ungli utha di.
"Ek aur wahi shresth hai bhai apne liye toh. Sach kahu toh main na he kaamuk insaan hu aur na meri sangini ne kabhi adhura he chhoda mujhe. Yaha baithe sabhi dosto me se vivah bhi mera he pehle hua hoga, Daleep bhai ke baad. Aur vivah se pehle toh hum log bas Bhole ke prehri bhar rahe hai aise kaamo me.", Umed ne jaise he nigrani wali baat kahi toh Shankar bhi hansne laga. Khet khalihan wale us purane daur me yahi log toh usko aisa sthaan dete the jaha Shankar garmi nikal sake ya premikao se mil sake.
"Waah waah.. Behanchod ye hai bhaichara toh. Waise Punjabi ab tu bhi tere number bata de.", Sangwan ne murge ki boti udhedte hue aankhe upar niche karke Mehul ko uski baari yaad dilai.
"100 se 10 upar niche. Ab ye Shankar maharaj ki kirpa hai jo pehla gyaan bhi inhone he dilwaya tha aur aaj bhi mauka dilwate rehte hai. Baaki gharwali aaj bhi sath de deti hai jab kabhi bahar mood na ho toh.", Gulati ke aankde bhi ummeed se kahi jyada he the. Usko poora gilas ek baar me khali karte dekh baaki sabhi ne waisa he kiya. Dost the aur jaam tak eksath khali karna jaise ek riwaaj tha ab.
"Baap aa gaya behanchod. Aur inhe bataya kisne yaha ke baare me?", Sangwan ki gaand he udhad gayi us kaali mercedes jeep ko gate se andar aate dekh. Shankar ne hath ke ishare se waise he baithne ko kaha aur Daleep peg banane jutt gaya fir se.
"Baap he hai bhai, kitni baar daru pee hai ginti bhi yaad nahi. Chacha kuch nahi kehne wale.", Aur Dharamvir Sangwan ji inki he aur chale aaye, Tyson ko sath liye.
"Ye nakli jaat sala gandu apni bebe (behan) ko lara laga kar yaha murga-daaru udhed raha hai. Saanjh ho gayi aur Richa tere goli maaregi jaate he. Daleep beta mera bhi peg ghaal (daal). Murge ki sorum (khusbu) tagdi aa rahi hai.", Jooti utaar kar wo bhi Narinder ki bagal me aa baithe.
"Bebe ne kya kaam kaha tha isko? Ye toh bola ki aapne party karne ki ijajat di hai toh humne bottle khol li. Nahi toh din me kabhi daaru peete dekha aapne mujhe.", Shankar jaise aise he mauke ki talaash me tha.
"Papa yu bhadkaan lag raha hai."
"Pata hai beta tum saare kitne he layak ho. Kuch log idhar araam karne aaye the aur baaki chikitsak shagal-mela karne pahuch gaye. Nikkammo maan liya ke kabhi kabhi aish-masti karni chahiye lekin pata toh ho. Ye Bhuppi bata ke aaya tha mujhe ki kaha jaa rahe ho tum log toh samajh gaya party hogi."
"Waise aap toh is waqt ghar he hote ho.", Gulati ke aisa kehne par unhone ek ghoont bharte hu bura sa mooh banaya.
"Beti ne ghar se likaad diya toh socha gum mitane ke liye main bhi tum logo se kuch jaam udhaar maang lu. Waise murga gazab banaya hai jisne bhi banaya hai.", Narinder unki baat sunn kar hans raha tha. Aise he mastmaula insaan the Dharamvir Sangwan ji. Bacho ke sath kab bacha aur kab baap ban kar rehna hai unhe atche se pata tha.
"Papa ye wala Umed ne aur jo aap kha rahe ho wo Inder ne banaya hai. Jama malaai barga naram aur kya masaale hai. Aahh.. maja aa gaya."
"Bhai Inder, tum aur Umed na eitwar (sunday) shaam mere sath baitho. Sikha bhi dena aur hum teeno guftgu bhi kar lenge.", Yaha mel milaap ka daur ab lamba chalne wala tha aur ghar ki chinta inme se kisi ko na thi.

5 baje car se Arjun apni dono behno ko liye Modal Town ki is badi market me aa chuka tha jaha unhe apne kapde aur gharwalo dwara bataya samaan kharidna tha. Gurdeep ke sath atchi khaasi mehnat karne ke baad wo dedh ghanta soya tha aur Gurdeep apne ghar par abhi tak bister pe thi.
"Aap log yahi milna main aadhe ghante se pehle he aa jaunga. Ye paise maa ne diye the, samaan ke liye.", Arjun ne car me baithe hue he Alka ke purse me wo noto ki gaddi daalte hue hidayat di aur dono ko dukaan tak jaate dekhta raha. Ye wahi jagah thi jaha Aarti aur Priyanka didi ne usko wo aadhunik kapde le kar diye the. Gurdwara sahib ke saamne se car ko Jagtar urf Jaggi bhai ke ghar ki le jata wo ab Jasleen ka dhyaan kar raha tha. Pichli bar jaane se pehle jo pyaar wo Jasleen me jagah gaya tha kya wo aaj bhi kayam hoga ya halaat alag honge? Phone par hamesha he baat aspasht hoti thi chahe wo 3-4 baar baat kar chuke the.

Update 142
Jawaan Din-Haseen Raat (3)
"Maa, Arjun apne Pandit ji ka pauta hai aur college me jo vakya hua tha na waha isne he madad ki thi.", Arjun us aalishan drawing hall me Jagtar ke pas he baitha tha jaha pichli bar gehra sannatta tha. Aaj ghar pe Jagtar aur uski mata ji maujud the lekin Jasleen pados me he Kirti ke ghar gayi hui thi. Jagtar ne Arjun ka parichaya diya toh uski mata ji ne bade he sneh se Arjun ke sar par hath firate hue aashirwad diya.
"Sanskar aur sewa ke liye alag he sthaan hai beta tumhare pariwar ka. Bahot khushi hui tumhe saamne dekh kar aur apne bacho ka ek sahi dost dekh kar. Waise toh Jaggi bhi bahot atcha aur jimmewar hai beta hai lekin tumhare baare me pata chala toh milne ki bahut itcha thi.", Arjun aur Jagtar ek-ek sofe par baithe the aur Jagtar ki mata ji ne kaanch ki table par dono ke liye doodh ke sath mewe rakhe aur unke saamne wale bade sofe par baith gayi.
"Aunty ji shiksha me toh aapne bhi koyi kami nahi aane di hai. Bhaiya dharam-karam ke sath sath kitne jimmewar hai ye main pichli mulakaat me he dekh chuka hu. Aur jaisi sakratmak urja aapke ghar me vyapt hai us se saaf pata chalta hai ke aap swayam he sidhhant aur sanskaro ko mehtava sarvopari rakhti hai. Pehli guru maa he hoti hai har bache ke jiwan me aur maa shresth hoti hai.", Arjun ne ek bar fir unki taraf dono hath jodd kar abhivadan kiya toh aunty ji ke chehre par alag he muskaan aa gayi. Idhar ye tagdi deel-daul wala kutta matakta hua aaya aur Jagtar ki goad me aa baitha. Wajan kahi jyada he tha uska lekin jaise wo khud ko abhi tak pilla he samajhta tha.
"Lo dekh lo sanskar. Ye halat hai yaha ghar ki aur tumhara ye bhai abhi tak bada nahi hua hai."
"Jeus naam hai na iska? Aapne toh iske sath bhi koyi farak nahi kiya. Ye dil maa ka he ho sakta hai jo har bache ko bacha he maanti hai.", Arjun dwara apna naam liye jaane se us kutte ne bhi ek baar dekhte hue jeebh nikal kar jata diya ke haa main he Jeus hu.
"Bada atcha laga beta ji tumhare vichar jaan kar. Ye Jeus aur Jaggi dono he ek jaise hai mere liye. Haan ek ghar me mera khayal rakhta hai aur dusra bahar. Waise beta ji main aur Jaggi maharashtra ja rahe hai aur shaadi wale din hamara waha aana mumkin nahi hoga. Main khud waha tumhare pariwar se milne jarur aaungi wapis lautne par."
"Bebe (maa), Jassi ja rahi hai vyaah vich. Appa Bambai toh aaye baad mil aavanage. Arjun bhai maa ne mannat bhi ki hui hai aur ye sab pehle se nirdharit tha isliye pehle he saaf batana uchit hai. Haan Jassi apni saheliyon ke sath shaadi me shamil ho jayegi. Bas behan ka khayal rakhna, jaanta hu ke tum aisa he karoge par ab ek he chaand hai hamare ghar me toh thodi parwah rehti hai.", Arjun ko bada atcha laga tha aunty ji aur Jagtar ka bilkul he saaf baat karna aur dono he pyaar se bhare vyakti the.
"Koyi shikayat ka mauka nahi milega aapko. Ab main chalta hu aunty ji, market me didi bhi intjaar kar rahi hongi. Agli bar jab bhi aana hua toh aapse jarur milne aaunga.", Arjun khada hua toh aunty ji bhi uth gaye. Nimantran patra aur mithai ka dibba ab Jagtar ke hath me tha jo ishare se Arjun ko baithne ka keh raha tha.
"Bitiya ko bhi lete aana tha beta. Lekin main jaanti hu aisa isliye nahi kiya hoga kyonki fir bahana kya banate. Jaggi, iske sath Kirti ke ghar chale jao beta. Card Arjun ka he dena behtar hai.", Jaha Arjun Kirti wala card bhi idhar se de kar nikalna chahta tha ab aunty ji ki wajah se usko unke bhi ghar jana padna tha.
"Chal Jeus, thoda sair karke aate hai.", Jaggi waise he chappal pehne Arjun ke sath chal diya. Arjun ne jaane se pehle aunty ji ka aashirwad liya aur unhone bhi pehli bar ghar aane par halki sakhtai ke sath Arjun ki jeb me shagun daal diya. Bahar sadak par Jeus badi shalinta se in dono ke beech chal raha tha.
"Ye wala Kirti ka ghar hai bhai jo din me hamesha he khali rehta hai. Poora pariwar he business dekhta hai, aunty ji bhi.", Jagtar ne is aalishan ghar ki ghanti bajate hue bataya aur udhar Jeus bagal wale khambe par he taang utha kar apni pehchaan lagane me vyast ho gaya. Ghar aalishan tha lekin ekdum khamosh. Lakdi ka wo bada darwaja khula toh saamne Kirti aur Jasleen dono he khadi thi. Dono he aadhunik yuvtiya is waqt dheeli tshirt aur jhaalar wale pajama pehne bhi behad aakarshak lag rahi thi aur Jasleen ke chehre par sapaat bhaav dekh Arjun ne he najre Kirti ki taraf kar di.
"Hello Kirti.", Arjun ne itna kaha aur Jagtar ye lohe ka gate kholta andar he chal diya Arjun ka hath pakde hue.
"Gate se he hello shallo karoge ab? Kirti, ye shaadi ka card dene aaya hai tumhe. Priyanka ka aana possible nahi hua toh Arjun ko jehmat uthani padi. Aunty ji abhi tak nahi aaye?", Jagtar itna bol kar is jagmag hall me chala aaya aur udhar Kirti ne bade josh se Arjun ka hath thaam liya.
"Thank you so much Arjun aur mujhe Priyanka ne phone par bata diya tha ke tum aane wale ho par time nahi pata tha. Jaggi tumhe pata hai na mom 6 baje tak he aati hai. Main maid ko bol kar thanda banwati hu tum log baitho.", Kirti ne chehre se baalo ki lat kaan ke peeche karte hue kaha toh Arjun ne najre hatate hue ek baar Jasleen ko dekha aur apna jawaab diya.
"Nahi Kirti ji, uski koyi jarurat nahi hai. Main abhi Jaggi bhaiya ke ghar se aa raha hu aur aunty ji ne khila pila kar he bheja hai. Waise bhi thoda jaldi me hu toh rukna munasib nahi hai.", Jasleen uski baat sunn kar andar ki taraf chal di. Jaane kya wajah thi aur abhi tak usne Arjun ko hello bhi nahi kaha tha.
"Jarurat kaise nahi hai? Maan liya aunty ji ne atchi sewa ki hai par yaha bhi pehli baar he aaye ho toh 5 minute baith he sakte ho.", Kirti ne hath pakad kar baithaya toh Arjun bhi 5 minute ke liye maan gaya. Jaggi ne Jeus ko apne pas na dekh idhar udhar najar daudai.
"Oh bhai tum baitho main jara Jeus ko dekh kar aaya. Wo agar park me bhaag gaya toh maa ne hum dono ko he ghar se nikal dena hai is baar.", Jagtar teji se bahar aaya toh Jeus unke he ghar ki taraf ja raha tha jaha Aunty ji khade the.
"Maa bula rahi hai Arjun, main tumse kal savere milta hu bhai kyonki abhi gurughar ka samay ho gaya hai unka.", Jagtar ne hath hilate hue kaha toh Arjun ne bhi thodi hichak ke sath sar hila kar haan keh diya. Arjun aur Jagtar ne savere saadhe 5 baje milne ka samay nishchit kiya tha kuch baatein karne ke liye.
"Mera number nahi hai tumhare pas? Ghar aa rahe ho toh bata bhi sakte the ki kis waqt pahuchne wale ho.", Ab Jasleen ke chehre par sirf gussa he tha aur Kirti rasoi me ja chuki thi. Lakdi ka mukhya darwaja bhi band tha.
"Wo.. wo maine socha ki aap ghar he milogi, college band hai toh.", Arjun shayad Kirti ka ghar hone ki wajah se jyada fikarmand tha. Lekin Kirti ki parwah na karte hue Jasleen waise he gusse me bolti hui uske kareeb baith gayi.
"Aap? Bahot sahi aur har baat khud he soch liya karo ke main kaha milungi aur tum apni marji se he aaoge. Jitni baar phone par baat ki hamesha tumhara haan-hun jaisa jawaab lekin yaha aane ke baad toh araam se phone kar sakte the na?", Arjun apne ghar kaise Jasleen se khul kar baat kar sakta tha jaha koyi na koyi maujud rehta tha. University se 2 baar phone kiya tha lekin dono bar Jagtar se he baat hui thi.
"Wo maine bhi phone kiya tha 2 baar lekin Jaggi bhaiya ne uthaya toh baat nahi ho paayi. Itna gussa aur kam se kam ye toh dekho hum kaha baithe hai.", Arjun ne thodi himmat karte hue Jasleen ka hath apne dono hath ke beech lete hue kaha. Ye sparsh he toh tha jiski kami ne Jasleen ko sataya tha. Pal me he wo khamosh ho gayi. Najre dono ki he ek dusre ko nihar rahi thi aur us khoobsurat chehre par halka dard ubhar aaya.
"Sorry for my bad behaviour. Tumhe kaise batau ki kitna intjaar kar rahi thi main tumhara aur phir aaye bhi toh mujhe yaad nahi kiya. Bura nahi lagega kya?"
"Aaya bhi toh dopahar me he hu aur 3 ghante baad tumhare ghar. Maine kaha tha na ke aise safar par chalne ki koshish matt karna? Tum bahot he pyaari ladki jo Jasleen aur tumhe dard dene wala duniya ka sabse badnaseeb insaan he ho sakta hai.", Arjun ke aisa kehne par Jasleen ne uske hontho par hath rakh diya.
"Shhhh.. Itna bhi jaleel mat karo ab. Bas ho jati hu thodi emotional aur gussa apne upar he aata hai. Waise tum 5 minute me jaane ka kyu bol rahe the?", Jasleen ka patla chharhara jism ab poori tarah se Arjun ke sath juda hua tha baayi taraf se. Wo gori naajuk ungliya hontho par he thi jinhe Arjun ke choomte he sharam se Jasleen ne hata liya. "gande kahi ke."
"5 minute se jyada tumhare pas raha toh phir se thank you le lunga aur ye jagah alag hai. Waise market me didi intjaar kar rahi hongi isliye bhi jaldi jana hai.", Arjun aakhiri baar wale chumban ka jikar kiya toh Jasleen ne khud he uska hath majbooti se pakad liya.
"Chalo utho aur ghar chalo mere sath. 5 minute mere hisse ke abhi baaki hai.", Jasleen ko bhi pata tha ki ab unke ghar bhi koyi nahi hoga. Kirti khaas dost thi lekin uske saamne wo bhi khul kar Arjun se baat nahi kar sakti thi. Jasleen ke khade hote he Arjun ki najar us dheele pajame ke khaas hisse par atak gayi. Jasleen ke tarashe hue madhyam se ubhaar aur lambi taange jaanleva thi. Kirti idhar he chali aayi tray me sharbat liye.
"Ab tum dono uth kar kaha chalne ki tayaari me ho?"
"Ye wapis ja raha hai aur ghar pe cards reh gaye hai jo uthane hai. Main aati hu 5 minute me wapis.", Ye 5 minute jaise aaj har insaan maang raha tha aur Arjun ne dhanyawad karte hue ek saans me sharbat ka gilas khaali karke tray me rakh diya.
"Jaldi he milte hai aur abhi kuch jaruri kaam hai toh jana jaruri hai Kirti ji."
"Samajh sakti hu aur agli baar samay nikaal kar he aana Arjun.", Kirti darwaje tak chhodne bahar aayi aur dono he Jasleen ke ghar ki taraf badh chale.
"Waha shisha bhi laga tha aur tum najre jyada he ghumate rehte hai.", Ghar ke andar aate he Jasleen ne Arjun ke maje lene shuru kar diye.
"Model jaisi ho tum bilkul ya ye kahu ke ek khoobsurat model.", Arjun andar hall me aaya toh Jeus ek taraf ungh raha tha. Aaj ghar me kaam karne wali wo aunty najar nahi aayi thi jo shayad avkaash pe thi. Arjun ke kadam rukne he lage the aur Jasleen hath pakadti usko apne kamre me aa gayi.
"X-ray karne ke baad kitni dhitai se jawaab dete ho. Waise sachmuch bahot gande ho tum.. Ummaahhh.", Jis josh se Jasleen ne Arjun ki kameej pakadte hue apne honth uske hontho se milaye the Arjun dheela he padd gaya. Jasleen ki tadap toh bina kisi milan ke he charam par thi aur uske patle madd-bhare hontho ka swaad bharpoor mithaas se bhara tha. Aisa he chumban Arjun ne kiya tha aur Jasleen jaise us din ko he yaad karti hui apna pyaar dikhane lagi. 25-26 inch ki us makhmali kamar par Arjun ka sparsh hote he Jasleen ki wo badi badi aankhen jhatke me khul gayi. Wo pur-kashish se bas Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Mardana sparsh is andruni naram hisse par nayi tarange paida karne laga. Rengte hue dono hath ne jaise he Jasleen ke kulho ko dabate hue Arjun ke sath atche se chipkaya uski aankhen fir se band ho gayi.
Kampkampate geele gulabi hontho par ab Arjun janleva kalakari karta hua Jasleen ko apna poora ehsaas karwane laga. Jaha Jasleen ke sharir se nikalti khaas mehak Arjun ko uttejit kar rahi thi wahi Arjun ka mardana sparsh aur uske hatho ke majbooti me Jasleen bhi pighalne lagi. Uske madhyam akaar ke thos chuche pehli baar mard ki chhati se dabte hue aur kathor hone lage. Samay se pare inka ye chumban ab ek dusre ki rasna choosne tak aage badh chala. Jasleen ki jeebh ko jitna Arjun apne mooh me pakad kar choosta, utna he wo meetha taral rista hua uske halak se niche utar jata. Ye chumban ab hadd se aage ja raha tha aur Arjun ki hatheli ne Jasleen ka wo kathor ubhar poora muthi me jakad liya. Jasleen ke sharir ka har roya second ke 100ve bhaag me khada ho chuka tha is harkat se. Uske ubhar par bas Arjun ka hath lagne maatra se ek lehar nabhi se uski akshat yoni tak daud gayi. Sharir me asankhya visphot aaj pehli baar he hue the aur Jasleen nidhal hoti hui Arjun ki baahon me pighal gayi.
Aaj se pehle tak Jasleen ko sirf hasthmaithun ka thoda anubhav tha wo bhi akele me yoni ko upar se sehlane tak. Lekin Arjun ke us sparsh ne jaise uski yoni ko ras-vihin he kar diya tha aur wo bhi bina waha kuch kiye. 2 minute baad kahi Jasleen ko hosh aaya toh wo bister par leti thi. Kareeb baitha Arjun bade pyaar se uska matha aur gaal sehlate hue bas usko he nihare ja raha tha. Jasleen ke chehre par jahan bhar ki sharam aur laali vyapt thi jiska bhaan Arjun ko atche se tha.
"Kya ye pehli baar tha?", Arjun ke aise sawaal ne jaise Jasleen ko nirvastra he kar diya. Takiye me mooh chupane ki koshish bhi jab nakaam rahi toh sharmati hui Jasleen ne bhi kehna uchit samjha.
"Har roj toh tum mujhe kiss nahi karte na? Aur aaj kiss se kuch jyada he ho gaya tha. Bahot jyada gande ho tum aur sab tumne kiya hai."
"Waise sach kahu toh mera hath tumne khud he apne yaha rakha tha aur ye nishan tumhare he nakhoon ke hai meri kalai par. Diet lena shuru karo thodi, abhi hath lagane se behosh ho rahi ho aur kal ko thoda aage badh gaye toh pata nahi police mera kya haal karegi.", Arjun se us sparsh ki asliyat pata lagte he wo aur jayda he sharmane lagi thi. Najre churati wo karwat liye dusri taraf mooh karke dhime sawar me bolne lagi.
"Mujhe tumhara sparsh har taraf chahiye aur utne he pyaar se jitna tumne kiss kiya. Waise sachmuch tum bure ho. Ye bhi toh keh sakte the ki tumne khud he hath waha rakha.", Is tarah karwat hone se Arjun ab atche se Jasleen ke ubhre hue nitamb nihar raha tha. Wahi Jasleen bas khayal bana rahi thi ab Arjun kya sochega aur kya bolega. Lekin jaise he apne lachile kulho par Arjun ka hath rengta mehsoos hua, Jasleen ki dhadkan phir se aniyantrit ho gayi. Wo jhallar wala dheela makhmali pajama jaise waha tha he nahi aur golakar kataav liye wo hissa itna romanchit bhi kar sakta hai ye Jasleen ne bas abhi mehsoos kiya.
"Abhi chalta hu Jas, der ho rahi hai. Jald milte hain.", Arjun ne upar jhukte hue chehra saamne kiya toh Jasleen jaise nivedan kar rahi thi ki aaj wo uske pas he rahe. Ye mumkin kaha tha. Ek pal dono ke honth mile aur Arjun turant yaha se nikal chala. Aaj he Jasleen ne mehsoos kiya tha ki Arjun ab uske liye kya maayne rakhne laga hai. Wo uske bina sachmuch jee na sakegi aur Arjun ne khud pehle he usko mana kiya tha in kadmo ko rokne ke liye. Is duvidha me bhi Jasleen ki chahat ek samaan badh he rahi thi.
'I love you..', Itna kehti wo phir se un char taadiyo wale pankhe ko niharne lagi jaise shunya me bhi waha Arjun ka he chehra ho.

Is tehkhane me kahi jyada he andhkar tha aur lambai agyaat. Seedhiyon se 4 jodi kadam niche is thandak bhare tehkhane me utarne lage toh ek pal ke liye jaise surya he prakashit ho gaya us shaksh ke saamne jo kursi par adhnangi halat me bandha tha. Kis band pade godam ka ye tehkhana 100 gaj ke kareeb lambai aur uske aadhi chaudai liye ek bada hall tha. Roshni se aankhen kuch abhyast hui toh apni taraf badhte kadmo ki disha me dhyaan gaya.
"Itne bhi shatir nahi ho ki hamari najar me na aao. Toh kaise ho Balbir Lohan? Suna hai chhena-jhaptti chhod kar ab logo ke katal karwane ke thekedar bann gaye ho.", Pandit Rameshwar Sharma ke sath unka pauta Sanjiv Sharma bhi hamesha ki tarah uchit patloon kameej aur chamde ke joote pehne is shaksh ke kareeb aa khada hua. Pandit ji ki awaaj he bahut rehti thi kisi bhi purane mujrim ko yaad dilane ke liye ki ye vyakti abhi tak un file par kaam jaari rakhe hai jo inke retirement tak adhuri thi. Police department khud inse gujarish karta tha apni sevayen dene ki, sa-shart aur natija bhi saamne tha. Jald he Pandit ji Lohan ke saamne rakhi kursi par baith gaye. Col sahab bhi DIG Nirmal Singh ke sath yaha maujud the.
"Pandit ji.. main aapke pariwar se koso dur raha hu. Wo.. woh toh Shankar ne humla kiya toh bachaav karna he pada. Dekhiye mujhe doctor aur vakeel ki jarurat hai, remand court me pesh karke bhi le sakte hai.", Lohan tha jigar wala chahe wo is shaksh se darta tha aur pata bhi tha ke yaha koyi maar-pitai wala kaam uske sath nahi kiya jayega.
"Dekho Balbir, maine tumhe 27 saal pehle ek chhoti si chori ke apradh me baksh diya tha kyonki ek mauka sabko milna chahiye. Badle me tumne kya kiya? Kaise adaa kiya us ehsaan ka badla jis se hum tumhe ek behtar vyakti banana chahte the? Aaj tum keh rahe ho ke mere pariwar se koso dur ho, lekin sach tumhe atche se pata hai bete. Galti ek baar hoti hai ya 2 baar, uske baad wo niyat aur aadat. Yaha sirf mere he pariwar ki badaulat tumhe nahi laya gaya hai kyonki wo log toh tumhe kuch samajhte he nahi. Jaante ho na mera ishara?", Ab kahi Lohan ka kanth sookh gaya tha. Aaj bhi Rameshwar ji ne usko bete keh kar pukara tha jaise 27 saal pehle usko thaane se riha karte hue kaha tha. Majboot apradhi ka bhi sar niche jhukan bata raha tha ki Pandit ji ne kabhi uske sath bura nahi kiya tha aur wo unhe he chott pahuchane me laga raha.
"Sir, main baat karne ki ijajat chahta hu is se.", Sanjiv ne apne he dada ko 'sir' keh kar sambodhit kiya tha aur Lohan ne is awaaj ko sunn kar Sanjiv ki taraf dekha jo manjuri milne ke baad ab thik Lohan ke saamne khada tha.
"Tum bache ho. Mujhse agar koyi baat karega toh wo Pandit ji.", Lohan ke aisa kehne par Sanjiv ke chehre par alag he bhaav aa gaye. Ek kutil muskaan liye wo Lohan ke samne jhuk gaya chehra kareeb karte hue.
"Hum 2 bhai hai Lohan aur dono he har kaam aise karte hai ki dekhne wale ko bas ek he najar aata hai. Jaante ho ye bachkana sa lagne wala andaaj humne kaha se seekha hai? Video game se. Main saamne rehkar goliyan chalata hu toh sabko lagta hai ke main he hu jo hu lekin unko wo nahi dikhta jo har taraf najar rakhe mujhko cover deta. Tum jaante ho mere bhai ko aur wo mujhse bhi chhota hai lekin abhi se tumhara baap hai.", Sanjiv ka andaaj kabile-gor tha aur Lohan har lafz ko dhyaan se sunn ne ke baad hairat se dekhne laga.
"Tum.. Tumhara chhota bhai Arjun Sharma hai matlab tum bhi Shankar ke bete ho? Yani Pandit ji ke paute?"
"Yaadasht bahot atchi hai tumhari aur haan wo mera bhai jisne tumhari patloon dur se he geeli kar di thi. Aur tum apne ka kitna bada turram khan samajhte ho jo 4 ghante me he pakad me aa gaye? Maar toh main tumhe vahi deta lekin aisa hai ke kuch sawal hai mere pas tumhare liye.", Sanjiv ne pushti kar di thi ki uski asliyat kya hai aur aisa wo tabhi karta tha jab insaan kareebi ho ya fir aise vyakti ko jeene ka adhikar he na ho.
"Arjun aur tum, dono he maare jaoge agar mujhe kuch bhi hua toh. Uska naam main pehle he bata chuka jisko batana jaruri tha."
"Aur wo badnaseeb bhi poore pariwar ke sath kal raat mara gaya. Kismat aisi he hai ya mehnat se itni buri banai hai? Aadmi bhejte ho toh unka accident ho jata hai, hamla karte ho toh khud ghayal ho jaate ho, jis par bharosa karte ho wahi duniya se chala jata hai... aakhir tum khud panauti ho ya aaspas sabhi manhoos log he hai tumhare? Ab gor se suno 4 sawaal aur unke badle me 4 sahi jawaab. Galati par jaan se nahi maarunga lekin tum bheek maangoge ki maut mil jaye.", Ab Rameshwar ji bhi idhar se uth kar thoda alag chale aaye. Lohan samajh nahi pa raha tha ke uske sath ho kya raha hai. Sanjiv ne usko bebas kar he diya tha.
"Tumne Shabnam ka sath Mohar Singh ke kehne par toh nahi diya tha kyonki tumhari najar me Mohar ki koyi ijjat nahi thi. Kiske kehne par tumne apne log bheje the Shabnam dwara batai vardat anjaam dene ke liye? Galat naam aur main bataunga ki tumhara pariwar bhi hai.", Sanjiv ne sawaal ke sath jo jikar kiya us se Lohan toh hairat me tha he Rameshwar ji bhi achambhe me padd gaye. Lohan ayyash apradhi tha jo giroh sargana tha. Uske biwi-bache the he nahi Pandit ji ki najar me ya kisi bhi vyakti ki.
"Jhooth jhooth hai ye.."
"Galat jawaab toh ab tumhare 3 bacho me se beech wala gaya. Beta hai na tumhara beech wala bacha? Badi beti fir choti beti aur beech me tumhara pyara beta."
"Nahi nahi.. unhe beech me laane ki jarurat nahi hai main sab jawaab dunga lekin mere pariwar tak nahi jaoge."
"Tum hamare pariwar ko khatam karne ke liye gunde bhejo jabki dada ji ke kitne ehsaan rahe hai lekin main aisa na karu. Ek waja do Lohan, bas ek wajah do aisa na karne ki? Sawaal wahi hai aur ab 5 sawaal honge.", Sanjiv ke chehre par aaya gussa bahot kuch bata raha tha. Baat farz ke sath sath pariwar ki thi aur in dono me he Sanjiv ne jiwan samarpit kiya tha.
"Shabnam sirf chehra dikhane ke liye bulai gayi thi. Aadmi maine Karam Singh ke kehne par bheje the kyonki wo chahta tha ki Shabnam ko bhi maar diya jaye lekin uski hatya alag dikhni chahiye.", Lohan ko jara bhi bhanak na thi ki is samay awaaj ke sath sath video bhi banai jaa rahi thi is tehkikaat ki. Chere par paseena chhalak aaya tha beshak yaha halki thandak thi.
"17 saal pehle mandir ke saamne humla tumne karwaya tha na Shankar chacha ke bete par? Aadmi samajhdar ho toh naam apne aap bata doge.", Itni purani ghatna par sawaal wo bhi Sanjiv ke mooh se sunn kar Rameshwar ji bhi pareshan hone lage the. Lekin iska sach unhone bhi jaan-na tha.
"Haan. Mera aadmi wahi mara gaya tha us ghatna ko anjaam dete hue. Sarang sahab ne us waqt ki sabse badi supari di thi mujhe, 10 lakh ki. Lekin 3 prayaas me bhi main asafal raha aur kisi aur jurm me jail pahuch gaya. Uske baad kabhi Sarang sahab se baat nahi hui.", Lohan ab is tafteesh me poora sath de raha tha. Uske pariwar ki salamat he jaise sabkuch thi aur apna anjaam wo jaise samajh chuka tha. Sarang Kumar ka naam sunn kar Rameshwar ji ke kandhe par Col sahab ne hath rakhte hue unhe shant rehne ka ishara diya.
"Toh wo nurse kaun thi jisne Narinder Sharma ke navjaat bete ko jehar diya tha?", Sanjiv jaise jajbati he hone laga tha kyonki kuch sawaal usko bhi pareshan kar rahe the.
"Main bilkul nahi jaanta aur jaisa lagta hai toh isme bhi Sarang Sahab ka hath hoga aur wo peeche saboot nahi chhodte. Main nahi jaanta us nurse ke baare me, apne pariwar ki saugandh.", Lohan ke aise bebasi waale chehre ko dekh kar Sanjiv ne gehri saans li aur khud ko shaant karne ki cheshta karne laga.
"Arjun Singh ke baare me kya jaante ho?", Ab Rameshwar ji ko bhi laga ke sawaal disha bhatak chuke hai aur Sanjiv ko ye parat nahi kholni chahiye. Lekin der ho chuki thi kyonki Lohan naam le chuka tha.
"Sarang sahab jawaab de sakte hai iska. Maine toh bas waha se 15 laash he uthai thi afsar lekin wo insaan chahta toh kisi ko bhi zinda na chhodta. Arjun Singh urf Ajju. Bemisaal aadmi tha wo jisko ek aurat ne aansuo ki aad me dhokhe se mara. Ek nihathe ne dhai darjan laashe 10 minute me bicha di thi aur unme aur bhi kayi naam judd jaate Sarang sahab samet he agar wo aurat Neelima aur Shalini naam le kar uske saamne na gidgidati. Bas uske baad un bhediyon ne koyi daya na dikhai us ghutno par gire yodha par. Main toh ek driver tha bas lekin us aurat ko bhool nahi sakta. Hatyara toh main bhi hu lekin mard ka hamesha samman kiya hai maine. Agar Sarang sahab tak na pahuch sako toh main thodi aur madad kar deta hu.", Lohan jaise mureed tha Ajju ka beshak ek apradhi tha par usko jaise wo ghatnakram shat-pratishat yaad tha. Ab Rameshwar ji uske kareeb aa chuke the.
"Ye Neelima wahi hai na jo xxxx shehar ke tehsildar ki beti thi?"
"Ji Pandit ji aur Sarang sahab ki eklauti bhanji bhi. Mujhe 4 ghante me dhoond liya toh isko 3-4 din me toh khoj he lenge. Waise kar aap bhi kuch nahi sakte Sarang sahab ke saamne.", Lohan ke kataaksh ka saaf matlab tha ki Sarang Kumar apne aap me he ek bada naam tha. Lekin yaha aaj Rameshar ji ka dimag sarak chuka tha apne ladle bete ka hatyakaand sunn kar.
"Balbir, tum baaki naam nahi le rahe ho. Aur iska matlab hai tum Sanjiv ki baat bhool gaye.", Itna sard kathan aur aankhon se nikalti ushma se Lohan bhi seham sa gaya tha.
"Zorawar, Bhawani, Chandarbhan, Karam Singh ke sath Avdhesh Mishra bhi shamil tha us sabme. Pandit ji, wo sabhi toh ab zinda nahi rahe aur inka kehna hai ki Avdhesh ji bhi maare gaye kal raat. Isliye ye naam nahi liye maine aur us aurat ko Sarang sahab apne sath he car me le gaye the lekin phir maine usko bhi kahi nahi dekha."
"Isko maar do Sanjiv aur iska pariwar bhi shayad iski asliyat se parichit nahi hai. Wo batana matt bhoolna.", Rameshwar ji uthne lage toh Lohan bifarta hua gidgidane he lag pada.
"Sach kehta hu Pandit ji ki main itna he janta hu. Mujhe beshak maar dijiye lekin mera pariwar sukoon se apni he alag duniya me hai, usko matt beech me laaye. Haan.. Ajju Singh ne us aurat ko kaaki keh kar pukara tha. 2 aur bhi jawan chehre the jo dur the lekin dono he jaise nayi suhagane thi. Ek patri ke sath wali diwar ke pare aur dusri aam ke junglaat se sab dekh rahi thi. Main nahi jaanta ke wo kaun thi. Mere pariwar ko baksh dijiye main hath joddta hu.", Rameshwar ji itna sunn kar shaant ho gaye the. Wo do nav-byahta unhe bhi maloom tha ke kaun thi lekin 'kaaki' ne uljha he diya.
"Nirmal Singh ji, Balbir ko uchit dekhrekh me dhyaan se rakhwaiye. Iski chikitsa ka prabandh bhi behtar ho ye jarur sunishchit kijiyega. Bete, hum aaj bhi apradh ko khatam karne me yakeen karte hai, apradhi ko nahi. Lekin ab tumhe sahi karavas bhogna hoga aur hum tumhare pariwar ki bhi uchit dekhbhal karenge.", Rameshwar ji ne ek bar fir apni dariyadili dikha di thi lekin Sanjiv abhi ashaant tha aur apne dada ji ke aise kehne par agla sawaal wo puch nahi sakta tha Lohan se.
"Pandit ji, is rehamdili ke badle ek baat aur batana chahta hu aapko.", 2 policewale abhi Lohan ko lene he aaye the aur hath khulte he usko dono taraf se pakad kar wahi ruk gaye.
"Batao aisi kya baat hai jo tum hume itne vishwas ke sath batana chahte ho?"
"Sushila Singh ki supari uthi hai 2 din pehle aur kaam karwane wala koyi unke he gaanv ka hai. Ho sake toh dekh lena shayad wo jo koyi bhi hai uske pas sabhi sawalo ka jawaab ho.", Ab Sanjiv ne ek lambi saans bhari aur apne dada ki taraf dekha.
"Tumne nahi li uski supari? Waise wo beti hai hamari toh usko hum kuch hone nahi denge Balbir."
"Behan mana hai maine bhi Sushila ko pandit ji. Bhawani jaisa bhi tha lekin mera khaas tha aur Sushila uske sath meri bhi badi behan rahi hai. Main pata he karwa raha tha lekin Shankar ne ye sab kar diya."
"Shankar se bach gaya ye atcha hua Balbir. Wo sawaal nahi karta aur hum jaan nahi lete. Dhanyawad is sehyog ke liye. Chalo Sanjiv, isko thik hone ke baad he pesh karna hai.", Pandit ji pehle he apne mitro aur paute ke sath nikal chale aur Lohan kadi suraksha me surakshit jagah pahucha diya gaya tha.
"Tum kehte ho ki Arjun bhi yaha tak pahuch gaya hai jaha tak Balbir ne jaankari di?", Pandit ji shaam ke dhundalke me ab ek taraf Sanjiv se guftgu kar rahe the aur Col sahab DIG ke sath.
"Ye Sushila ji wali jaankari nahi thi aur munna jaankari rakhta hai Arjun Singh wale ghatna ki lekin asli apradhi tak wo bhi nahi pahucha hai. Hum dono he mil kar kaam kar rahe the aur uska kehna hai aap bhi is maamle me sahayta kar sakte hai. Ab shayad wo aage khojbin na kare gharwalo ki wajah se lekin wo pata lagana chahta hai ki Arjun Singh ji ke sath asliyat me kya hua tha."
"Bete, mujhe bas is baat ka he darr tha kahi Arjun Ajju ko samajhne na nikal pade. Ye naam humne bhi kabhi jubaan par na aane dia kyonki is naam se humne ek naya beta paa liya tha. Balbir ki he kathni dekho, wo ek dushman ki sirf tareef he kar raha tha. Mujhe toh itna sab bhi maloom na chal paya tha ki kaise darindo ne ek saaf-dil insaan ko gher kar mara. Shaadi tak is maamle me koyi khojbin na karna bete aur Arjun ke sath main tumhari maujdgi me he araam se vichar karunga.", Rameshwar ji badi safaai se apni aankhon me aayi nami ko chhupa gaye. Aaj unke jakhm fir se hare ho gaye the aur wo kuch waqt apni dharampatni ka sath chahte the.
"Chalo bhai Satish ab ghar chalna chahiye. Kal Nirmal ke sath waise bhi golf ka karyakram toh hai he.", Unki baat par dono he idhar chale aaye aur Nirmal Singh ji ne bhi hath milate hue abhaar jataya aur ye apne ghar ke liye nikal chale. Sanjiv ka bhi antarman vyathit tha jaise aaj wo is mamle me bas kuch he duri par atak gaya tha lekin sach ye bhi tha ki Lohan ne khud sari jaankari di thi unhe. Ab intjaar tha toh Arjun ka jiske saamne unke dada ji shayad is rehasyamayi purush ka purn ullekh kare.

Halka andhkar hone par Sangwan ke farmhouse se Bhuppi, Mehul, Param aur bade Sangwan ji ja chuke the. Shankar ko bhi Narinder ne Bhuppi ke he ghar bhej diya tha jis se wo ab araam kar sake. Tarantaal me Narinder ke sath Umed ki alag he daud jaari thi. Aadha ghanta uchit gati se tairne ke baad dono he kinare aa ruke toh bahar baithe Daleep ne he sulagti ciggratte Umed ki taraf badhai.
"Marne ka irada hai kya Daleep bhai? Saans chadhi hui hai aur aap ye pila do. Raat haseen hone wali hai kal ki tarah, Rajesh ko bula lijiye aap tab tak hum dono bhi tayaari kar lete hai.", Daleep ke chehre par chamak aa gayi thi naya mission sunn kar.
"Aaj kaha dhava bolna hai?"
"Aaj dhava nahi bolna Daleep bhai, sendh lagani hai.", Ye baat Narinder ne kahi thi Umed ki jagah. Dono ke he balisht sharir bhigne par kahi jyada he aakarshak lag rahe the. Narinder aur Umed ne hamesha he sharir ko mehatava diya tha har jaruri cheej ke sath.
"Toh usme Rajesh ko kyu bulana? Sendh lagane ke liye toh main akela he bahot hu bas jagah aur aadmi batao.", Daleep ke aatmvishwas ko dekh kar Umed aur Inder muskurane lage.
"Rajesh ka sath chalna bahot jaruri hai bhai. Ye samajh lo ke waha sendh lagane wali chaabi Rajesh he hai aur baaki kaam hum teeno ne karna hai.", Narinder ki niyantrit baat sunn kar Daleep ne aashwasan me sar hila diya.
"Badlo bhai tum log kapde pehno aur itni he der me wo bhi aa jayega.", Daleep kash lagata hua building ke andar chala gaya aur peeche ye dono ek dusre ko dekhne lage.
"Toh tumhe ummeed hai ki Karam Singh ke ghar se humko jaankari milegi?", Umed ne ye sawal karne ke sath he bahar rakhi baniyan se khud ko saaf karna shuru kar dia. Sachmuch ek datiyakar insaan he tha Umed Singh aur sadhe 6 feet kad sirf lambai maatra nahi, jism bhi utna he bejod tha. Kam toh Narinder bhi nahi tha bas dikhne me wo ek tagda khoobsurat abhineta lagta tha.
"Ummeed nahi main yakeen se kehta hu ke Karam Singh ke ghar humko bahot se sawalo ke jawaab milne wale hai Gajju. Wo akela reh raha tha aur uski maa Damyanti bhi ab udhar nahi rehti. Mujhe lagta hai ke wo bilkul sahi jagah hai chhanbin ki."
"Aur Rajesh ka is sabse kya lena dena?"
"uski car ka lena dena hai bhai. Wo wahi khadi karenge jaha Karme ka katal hua tha. Daleep najar rakhega aur hum teeno uske ghar ki chhanbin karenge.", Narinder ne wahi apna geela kachha utarte hue apni baniyan se us khaas hisse ko sukhane ka upkram kiya aur aise he nirvastra ghaas par chalta kapdo ke pas aa gaya. Umed bhi samaan awastha me tha aur jald he dono patloon pehan kar hatho se he baal sukhane lage. Aaj shayad ye ek sahi thikane par sendh lagane chale the aur ye bhi ho sakta tha ki unhe aisa kuch mile jis se kadmo ke niche ki jameen hil jaaye. Ab bas raat haseen hone ka intjaar tha Rajesh ke aane ke sath sath.

Market me kharidi karne aur ghoomne firne me he raat ke 8 baj gaye the in teeno ko. Arjun ne dinner ke liye agli market jaane ka kaha toh dono he behno ne saaf inkaar kar diya. Aaj pehli bar in dono ladkiyon ne poore 50 hajaar ka samaan kharid liya tha aur Arjun ka purse abhi tak jyo ka tyo tha. Ye paise usko maa se mile the aur sath he daadi ke diye 200000 shesh the.
"Ye halka fulka khaane ke chakkar me Aarti ne meri toh jaan he nikaal di. Main toh dinner nai karne wali."
"Mera bhi haal aisa he hai hai Alka. Peit me jara si bhi jagah nahi hai aur araam ki talab kuch jyada he ho rahi hai. Maa ka samaan savere he sametenge.", Dono ki aisi halat dekh Arjun hansta hua unhe liye ghar wapis aa gaya. Sachmuch aaj Alka aur Aarti ne dil khol kar samaan kharida tha, sirf apne liye he nahi balki Ritu, Preeti, Komal ke sath sabhi behno ke liye. Romela ji ka bhi samaan ek alag gatte ke bakse me band karke wahi pichli seat par rakha tha. Car jaise he ghar ke saamne ruki toh Afsana aur Zubeidaa bhi scootry se aa pahuchi.
"Ye Afsu ke itni raat me aane ki wajah didi?", Car se nikalte he Aarti ne Zubeida didi se sawaal kiya jo sab bhula kar Arjun se gale lag kar mili.
"Kyu? Pehle bhi toh tumhare sath rahi hai na raat me. Aur ye janaab toh Eid ho gaye hai. Shehar me bhi hai lekin sehan me nahi.", Zubeidaa ki baat par Arjun kya jawab deta jabki usko khud atcha lag raha tha unse gale milna. Koyi 30 second tak wo waise he gale lage rahe.
"Abba intjaar me honge baji.", Afsana toh is waqt bhi salwar kameej ke sath mooh par dupatta liye the.
"Oh meri Benajir Bhutto, jisko dekhne aayi hai kam se kam apna toh istakbaal karwa de. Dhyaan rakhna iska tum sabhi, aajkal jara kaayde me nahi hai madam.", Zubeida ne bina kisi ki parwah ke Arjun ka gaal choomne ke baad aisa he Aarti aur Alka ke sath kiya aur wapis chali gayi. Afsana larajti hui Aarti ke sath andar chali gayi.
"Tum ruka jara yaha.", Alka ne Arjun ka hath thaam liya. Wo jaise is pal me Ritu he bann gayi thi.
"Kya hua didi.?", Besakhta Arjun ke mooh se bhi didi he nikla aur Alka thoda gambhir ho gayi.
"Ishq bahot kuch badal deta hai mere bhai aur aaj main 2 ghante Afsana ke ghar rahi hu. Ye tumse koyi alag he ishq kar baithi hai dhyaan rakhna."
"Matlab"?
"Isme aur Ritu me sie kisi ek ko ko chun na pade toh?"
"Kya vahiyaat sawaal hai. Saari duniya ek taraf aur Ritu ek taraf. Zindagi ka aakhiri saans bhi lu toh wo bas Ritu ke aagosh me. Aisa fir kabhi matt kehna."
"Maan liya. Preeti aur isme se?"
"Wo jaan hai meri. Aap hamesha mere sath ho Ritu ki tarah lekin sanvara toh mujhe aur Preeti ko aapne bhi hai. Ye sawaal jayaj nahi hai. Waise bhi maine abhi tak Afsana se baat nahi kari hai."
"Baat karna Arjun. Ye Ishq kuch khaas dikh raha hai aur agar bandishe todd gaya toh qayamat na ho jaye. Zubeida ki baat alag hai, wo tumhe pyaar karti hai aur uski koyi chahat nahi hai tumse. Afsana toh jaise ek paheli he hai, suljhane me he nahi aa rahi.", Alka ne baat khatam karte hue thande ki bottle, milk badaam aur thoda khaane peene ka saman car se nikala aur ghar ke andar chali aayi. Arjun sath he tha is pal me. Aaj wo pehli baar Alka ko khul kar nahi bata paya tha us asadharan shann ke baare me jo usko Afsana ko dekh kar hua tha. Ye romanch kahi kuch aur he na karwa de.
"yar Alka main toh thodi der araam karte hue tv dekhne lagi hu.", Aarti ab dheele vastro me thi aur Afsana ne pehli baar naqaab hataya tha is tarah gairo ki maujdgi me. Alka bhi un sunehari aankhon se sammohit si ho gai.
"Wow. Tum haseen ho yar. Ghar par bhi tumne naqaab liya hua tha din me."
"Waha hum mehfooj nahi the us waqt. Chacha ke sath unke bhi dost aaye hue the dopehri ke khaane par. Hume atcha nahi lagta koyi hume cheej samjhe aur paymaaish kare.", Afsana ki muskurahat toh sachmuch kamaal thi. kandhari anaar se surkh honth, wo nakkashidar chehra aur jism dhaka hua.
"yar tum na mera test le rahi ho. Mujhe tumse pyaar ho gaya toh please gaali matt dena.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Aarti bhi hans di. Arjun unke peeche se kamre me ja chuka tha apne.
"Myassar karna gar chehra dekh kar ho toh iltija hai, khwahishe ahduri aise he raha karti hai. Aapne sirf hamara chehra dekha aur ishq farmane ki hidayat kar di. Hum kabile-gor nahi hai chehre se niche.", Chhui-mui si Afsana aaj behtar bol rahi thi aur ye asar kuch Alka ka bhi tha. Alka thi he aisi jo kahi na kahi sabse tej yuvti thi is pariwar me.
"Dekho darling, abhi toh araam karne ka dil hai mera. Raat 11-12 tak tumhe jarur utha dungi apni neend poori karne ke baad.", Alka ne itna kaha aur wo Aarti ke kamre ki taraf badh chali. Arjun track pajama aur tshirt pehne ek bada cartoon samaan ka bhare darwaje se bahar nikal gaya. Aarti dekhti rahi aur waisi he najar Afsana ki thi. Arjun apni chachi ka bataya samaan car ki lambi dikki me sahi tarah se rakhne laga. Usne yahi thik samjha tha samay bachane ke hisab se.
"Yar agar tujhe bura na lage toh Arjun ke liye doodh garam kar dena. Main bas naha lu kyonki halki thakavat ho rahi hai phir araam se kamre me he baatein karenge.", Ab Aarti ke bhi hath khade ho gaye the. Savere 5 baje jaagne ke baad usne bhi araaam kaha kiya tha.
"Inhe doodh ki jarurat hogi toh hum dekh lenge. Waise Alka didi agar aapke bister par sone gayi hai toh hum kaha neend farmaye?"
"Agar dikkat na ho toh wahi aa jana mere kamre me. Priyanka didi ka bhi kamra khaali hai in case tumhe dikkat ho toh hum dono didi wale kamre me so jayenge.", Aarti bata he rahi thi aur Arjun wapis kamre ki aur chal diya. Wo jaise thaan chuka tha ki abhi sab samaan dikki me bhar dega.
"Let the kite go it's own way honey. Mushayre ke bahar toh humne sabhi shayar sharabi dekhe hai. Aap araam farmaye, hum Priyanka baaji ke kamre me he araam farma lenge.", Ab toh Aarti ka bhi maatha thanak gaya tha. Ye Arjun ka asar tha toh bhugatana usko he tha. Lekin wo kya he kehti is pyaari gudiya ko.
"Jaha dil kare waha mehfil laga lenge sanam tumhare sath.", Aarti ne bas itna he kaha aur khilkhilati hui Priyanka didi ke kamre wale bathroom me chali gayi. Alka bhi araam karne se pehle nahane he lagi thi aur Arjun apni chachi ka samaan gatte ke bakse me sahi se jama raha tha. Wo savere ke bharose kuch chhodne wala nahi tha aur waise bhi kal usko Jagtar bhai se dhero baatein karni thi.
"Aap jab kahiyega hum doodh garam kar denge.", Arjun inhi najro se bachne ke liye toh kaam me masroof tha lekin waah ri kismat. Pehle Afsana ke ghar se dur raha, phir usko bahar bhi niharne se bachta raha aur ghar me aate he wo samaan ke sath lag gaya. Afsana khud he chal uski taraf toh aane se rahi, yahi socha tha aur ye soch Afsana ne he badal di. Wo sunehari aankhein aur tambai baal uski najro ke saamne the. Jubaan jaise lakwa maar gayi aur aankhen sthirr. Afsana ki bhi dhadkan badhne lagi toh wo bina jawaab sune Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi. Darwaja band karke wo bister par baithi bas Arjun ke chehre ko yaad kar rahi thi. Har bar kyo dono he khamosh ho jaate hai ek dusre ko dekhne par?
"Oh madam ji, kaha khoyi ho? Waise sach kahu toh tumhe aaj pehli bar he din me dekha tha aur koyi itna khoobsurat bhi ho sakta hai iska andaja bilkul nahi tha.", Alka bathroom se bahar aayi toh bas ek ghutno tak ki dheeli nikkar aur jaangho tak lambai wali tshirt pehne thi. Andruni vastro ka abhaav nukile nipple saaf bata rahe the. Afsana ne bhi Alka ko dhyaan se dekha toh uski lambai, kamar se niche tak aate baal, badaami chehra aur sharir ke itne jabardast kataav se wo bhi prabhavit hue bina na reh saki. Uski badi behan bhi ek behtareen yuvti thi jiske sondarya ki paribhasha hajaro aankhen karti rahi lekin Alka bhi khaas thi.
"Aap hamari tareef kar he hai? Jo khud aafreen ho unke saamne toh hum kuch bhi nahi.", Jis tarah Afsana ke honth najakat se hilte the, Alka ko bada atcha lagta tha dekhna. Chehre par khushi aa gayi thi apne aap he.
"Aisi baat nahi hai Afsana. Jaisa suna thi ki tum naqaab ya burka pehne rehti ho hamesha toh mere dimaag me kuch aur he tasvir bann gayi thi. Aarti ne thoda bahot he bataya tha tumhare baare me aur kuch mujhe Priyanka didi ne bataya. Aaj tumhe saamne dekha toh wo sabhi khayaal gayab he ho gaye. Tum kisi Arab desh ki rajkumari si ho, bilkul gudiya si.", Alka goad me takiya liye bister par baith gayi. Ab Afsana ke chehre par halki laali aa chuki thi. Ye thode bahot badlaav usme kuch samay se aaye the aur Zubeidaa baaji ne he usko nikhara tha.
"Wo hum aaj bhi pehante hai baaji, aapne dopehari me dekha he tha. Bas jaha jaruri ho waha. Waise ammijaan hamari paidaish par Marrakesh-Safi thi, ye Morocco ka ek shehar hai aur hamare chashm (eyes) wahi ki saugaat hai.", Alka ne is jaankari par jaise he Afsana ka wo safed mom sa hath thama toh ek pal me he uske chehre par thodi bechaini si aa gayi.
"Yar ek toh main baaji-didi nahi hu, dost hu jaise Aarti hai. Aur tum khaas ho jo pehli najar me he pata lag jata hai. Itna darti kyu ho waise? Main ladki hu aur mere hath pakadne par tumhe ghabrahat nahi honi chahiye.", Alka ne ab apne dusra hath bhi Afsana ki hatheli ke upar rakh diya.
"Wo Zubeidaa baaji kehti hai ke is daur me kisi ka eitbaar nahi."
"Hahaha.. arre yar sachmuch tum masoom ho. Tumhari didi se aaj maine ek ghante se jyada baatein ki hai waha tumhare ghar. Unhe sabse jyada maja aata hai tumhe satane me aur tum unki kahi har baat ko sach maan leti ho. Wo bata rahi thi ki tum kitni majhab ki pakki ho aur college me hone ke bawjood abhi tak jyada duniya ki khabar nahi rakhti.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Afsana jhemp gayi lekin halki narajgi bhi thi mann me apni badi behan ke liye.
"Aur unhone aapse kya kaha hamare baare me?"
"Bata rahi thi ki tum kitni pyaari ladki ho. Lekin aaj ke jamane me tumhara yahi life-style pareshani paida kar sakta hai. Unhe iski tension rehti hai aur wo tumhe dhire dhire badalne ki koshish bhi kar rahi hai. Waise tum galat nahi ho Afsana bas ye life ghar ki char diwari se thodi bahar bhi hai. Suna hai pehle toh tum ghar se akeli bahar bhi nahi nikli yaha tak aane ke liye?", Ab Afsana ko jaise khud par he thodi sharmindgi hone lagi. Alka ka hath sehlana usko protsahit karne laga bolne ke liye.
"Hum khaufjada the aur abhi bhi hum akele bahar nahi nikalte. Ghar se bahar ek Aarti he hai jinke sath hamara kuch wajood hai."
"Darr? Agar chaho toh mujhse baat kar sakti ho aur baatein apne aap tak he rakhna jyada dukh deti hai. Darr insaan ko kamjor he banata hai dost. Haadse sabke sath hote hai, kisi ke sath chhote kisi ke sath bade lekin kya hum unhe yaad rakh kar ghutan me jinda rahe? Ye toh aur bhi dukhdayi hoga. Agar phir bhi tumhe lagta hai main galat keh rahi hu toh maaf kar dena. Mujhe shayad sahi andaja nahi hai ke tumne kya jhela hai."
"Humne kuch bhi nahi jhela hai. Bas kuch bure log ladkiyon ki asmat-aabru par he nigaah rakhte hai. Kya yahi insaaniyat hai bahar duniya me?", Afsana ke shabdo se he pata chalta tha ki wo kitni saral ladki hai aur uska darr har aadmi ke liye tha jo galat najar rakhta ho.
"Tum galat nahi keh rahi ho Afsana lekin har insaan bura nahi hota. Kuch chahat se dekhte hai aur kayi galat iraado se lekin kisi ki koyi majaal nahi jabtak ladki majboot rahe. Tumhe bas apni life aur khushiyan dekhni chahiye na ki aise log jo maayne nahi rakhte. Main bhi college jaati hu aur hum 7 behne hai waha ghar par. Dekhne wale dekhenge aur humko unse koyi matlab nahi. Waise tumne sirf aisa he dekha hai ya kuch bura bhi?", Ye Alka thi jo baal ki khaal nikal leti thi aur saamne wale ko pata bhi nahi chalta tha.
"Zubeidaa baaji ko ek baar kisi ne sataya tha. Hum school me the us waqt aur baaji college ke pehle saal me. Wo ladke galat iraade rakhte the aur baaji ne kabhi unhe najar bhi nahi kiya jaisa aap kehti hai. Phir bhi unhone unki asmat kharaab karni chahi, Narinder chacha ji na hote toh baaji ke sath kuch bhi ho sakta tha. Ab bataye ki agar baat is hadd tak chali jaaye toh kya hoga? Har baar toh koyi nek banda hifajat ke liye maujood nahi ho sakta."
"Toh humko he hifajat karni chahiye apni. Waise tumhare liye toh main bhi ek pal behak sakti hu.", Alka ne jo jaankari leni thi wo lene ke baad ab mahol badalne ki ye masti bhari baat keh di. Ek pal ke liye Afsana ka chehra he safed ho gaya.
"Tauba. Baaji sahi kehti hai ke jamane ke sath bahot kuch badal raha hai. Aap aise vichar rakhti hai hamare baare me?"
"Hahaha.. Kisi din tumhe pyaar ho gaya na sahi ladke se toh pakka tum uski baahon me he saans todd dogi. Yar ladki ho kar ek ladki se ghabra rahi ho tum. Hahaha.. majaak kar rahi hu aur dost masti bhi nahi karte kya aapas me?", Ab Afsana ke chehre par thodi sharam aur wahi gulabi rangat aa chuki thi.
"Hum ishq me yakeen nahi karte aur aisi baatein atchi nahi lagti.", Abhi wo aage kuch kehti us se pehle he darwaje par dastak hui. Alka khadi hone lagi toh Afsana ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Aapke bhai bhi ho sakte hai aur jaha tak hume lag raha hai aapne andruni kapde nahi pehne hai seene par. Ye chaadar le lijiye, hum kholte hai darwaja.", Alka ki hansi chhoot gayi itna sunn kar. Phir khud ko shaant karti hui wo Afsana ki baat samajh gayi. Sahi keh rahi thi kyonki Arjun ke sath Alka ke khaas rishtey ka usko pata bhi nahi hona chahiye.
"Shehjadi sahiba, doodh ubal kar bahar nikal gaya. Atchi baat hai ki samay rehte maine dekh liya nahi toh ho gaya tha aaj kaam.", Ye Aarti thi aur thik Alka jaise kapdo me bas abhi seene par bra pehni hui thi tshirt ke andar.
"Oh maaf karna, hum baaton me masroof ho gaye the Alka baaji ke sath. Aapne doodh de diya apne bhai ko?"
"Ubalta hua he de du kya? Waise darwaja band kyu tha yaha?", Aarti ko ab wo kaise batati ki Arjun ne bechain kar diya tha aur khud ko shaant karne wo is kamre me chali aayi thi.
"Aap baithiye idhar, hum bhi kapde badal kar aa jaate hai Priyanka baaji ke kamre se.", Aarti andar jaane ki jagah hansti hui Arjun ki taraf chal di aur Afsana ne Priyanka didi ke kamre ke andar jaate he darwaja band kar liya.
"Haan toh abhi tak kaam khatam nahi hua tumhara?", Arjun ab ye paanchva baksa bhar raha tha. Aarti ke andar aate he darwaja lagane par uska dhyaan taja nahai hui apni behan par gaya toh ek kashish se wo dekhta he raha.
"Iraade nek nahi hai lekin aaj kismat me shayad pyaar karna bhi nahi likha.", Arjun wapis kapdo ko attachi me aur kitabo ko bakse me bharne laga. Aarti dabe paanv uski taraf aati peeche se lipat gayi. Naram ubharo ka wo sparsh aur aise unka lipatna bata raha tha ki chahat Aarti ki bhi wahi hai.
"Raat ko Alka ke pas chale jana."
"Main yahi sone wala Aarti aur jab bhi aane ka dil ho toh yahi aa jana, savdhani se.", Arjun ne palat kar Aarti ko apni baahon me samet liya. Geele hontho par ek minute tak Arjun ke hontho ne bharpoor pyar jataya. Phir araam se dono he dur ho gaye.
"Mere aur didi ke kapde bhi maine bag me rakh liye hai. Jagah hogi itni car me?"
"Car ki dikki abhi bhi aadhi khali hai aur kuch samaan main andar bhi rakh lunga. 10 bajne wale hai toh ab aapko araam karna chahiye.", Arjun bhi jaanta tha ki Aarti aaj raat uske sath rehna chahti thi. Lekin Afsana ke aane ka bhi Arjun ko bura nahi laga tha. Agle 10 minute me wo dono bag aur bakse liye bahar chal diya. Hall paar karte he saamna Bholi begam se hua.
"Aaj raat main yahi sone wali hu. Aarti kaha hai?", Arjun chaah kar bhi sar pe hath na rakh saka. Bas iski he kami thi.
"Andar apne kamre me, tumhara he intjaar kar rahi hai wo.", Gurdeep ke maje lete hue Arjun ne usko andar jaane ko kaha aur hansta hu car ki taraf chal diya. Ye sab samaan aa chuka tha aur ab bas Aarti-Priyanka ke bag laa kar rakhne the. Dikki band karke wo wapis andar chala aaya toh Aarti ke kamre se aati awaajon ne bata diya tha ki Radio chalu ho chuka hai. Priyanka didi ke kamre ka band darwaja dhakelte hue wo andar aaya toh zero ki maddim roshni thi abhi.
'Ye kari hai packing inhone. Chain tak band nahi ki.', Arjun bedhyaani me bas in upar tak bhare bag ko band karne me laga tha aur bathroom ka darwaja khulne ki awaaj jaise sunaai he na padi. Afsana bhi wo bada toliya lapete apni he dhunn me bed tak chali aayi jaha uski poori aasteen ki tshirt aur pajama rakha tha, raat ko pehan ne ke liye. Ab toliya utaar kar bister par rakha toh saansein atak gayi. Bed ke dusri taraf bag me kapde dabata Arjun bhi sunn pad chuka tha neeli roshni me is jaanleva manjar ko dekhte he. Ujle rang ki poore cup wali naram bra aur waisi he rangat ki panty me uske saamne Afsana ka hahakari youvan tha. Afsana hosh me aati us se pehle he Arjun badi teji se kamre bahar nikal gaya. Spring wala darwaja wapis band ho gaya tha.
Afsana ki aankhon me paani aa chuka tha hosh me aate he. Jaise taise kapde pehan kar wo kuch der wahi bister par baithi rahi. Antarman maan he nahi raha tha ke aisa bhi kuch hua hai. Arjun ki aankhein us pal me bhi Afsana ka chehra he dekh rahi thi. Ye yaad aate he Afsana ko halka araam hua lekin dil yahi keh raha tha ke Arjun kya soch raha hoga uski is besharmi par aur ab wo kaise uska saamna karegi. Is haalat me toh aajtak Aarti ne bhi kabhi usko nahi dekha tha. Bujhe mann se wo ek baar aur apna chehra saaf karke Alka-Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi.
Gurdeep toh aadat anusaar patar patar kari ja rahi thi aur Alka ko bhi uski baatein sunn ne me maja aa raha tha. Uski bholi baatein, punjabi kisse aur chehre ke manmohak bhaav kisko pasand na aate. Gurdeep bebaki se Alka ki bagal me aa leti toh Aarti bhi khadi ho gayi.
"11 baj chuke hai madam, ab sona chahiye. Savere 6 baje tak uth gaye toh bhi atcha hai.", Yaha bhi Afsana khamosh he thi aur itne shor me kisi ka bhi dhyaan nahi gaya tha us par.
"Haan yar lekin main toh Alka ke pas soungi. Tu apni gulabo ke sath so, waise bhi wo har waqt sharmati rehti hai.", Gurdeep ki baat par Aarti bhi hansti hui dono ko be bol kar dusre kamre me chali aayi Afsana ke sath.
"Tum leit jao, main jara bahar darwaja dekh aati hu.", Aarti ke kehne par Afsana bister ke dusri taraf khamoshi se karwat ke bal leti gayi. Aankhen khuli thi aur mann vichlit. Ye tabtak shaant nahi hone wala tha jabtak wo Arjun se baat nahi kar leti.Afsana ke liye uski ijjat he jaise zindagi thi aur usko katai ye kabool na tha ke Arjun ke mann me uski koyi galat chhavi bane. Udhar Aarti ne bahar wale darwaje par andar se tala laga paya toh wo hall ke darwaje ko bhi chitakni lagati hui apne kamre me aa gayi. Ghar ki jyadatar roshni ab band ho chuki thi, bas zero ke bulb jagmag the.
"So gayi Afsa? Sorry yar, thakaan ki wajah se mujhe bhi neend aa rahi hai aur tere sath time nahi bita saki.", Cooler ki jyada awaaj na thi jis se Afsana ko sunai na diya ho lekin wo khamosh he rahi aur Aarti ne bhi patli chaadar apne upar audh li. 10 minute se pehle he wo gehri neend me ja chuki thi. Yahi haal barabar wale kamre ka tha jaha Alka Gurdeep ke sath bade araam se so rahi thi. Gaanv se shehar ka lamba safar, fir yaha tak ka safar aur shaam ko atchi bhaag-daud ke baad ab jara bhi himmat na bachi thi in dono me. Sadhe 11 ka waqt ho chala toh Afsana bade ehtiyaat se uth khadi hui. Rasoi me abhi tak doodh ka patila chulhe par tha aur jayaj garam bhi. Ek gilas nivaye doodh ka liye wo dhadakte dil aur kaampte kadmo se Arjun ke kamre tak chali aayi. Neend Arjun ki aankhon se bhi koso dur thi aur is sannatte me lamp ki roshni tale wo jaane kya padhne me vyast tha.
"Aapko doodh dena bhool gaye the.", Itna bhi jaane wo kitni himmat se keh paayi aur Arjun ne ek pal ke liye Afsana ko dekha aur hatho se gilas le kar wahi table par rakhte hue kaha.
"Sorry Afsana, mujhe bilkul bhi nahi pata tha ki udhar aap hongi. Main aapke liye koyi galat khayal nahi rakhta aur wo sab anjaane me ho gaya.", Afsana itna sunn kar jaise baraf si thandi padd gai. Pichle dedh ghante se wo bas yahi soch rahi thi ki usne ek bahot badi galti kar di hai jiska anjaam jaane kya hoga lekin yaha saamne se Arjun maafi maang raha tha. Afsana ko yu khamosh dekh Arjun ne pehli bar usko hath lagaya. Nivaye doodh ko pakadne se wo mom se mulayam hath bhi halke garam the.
"Dekhiye main jaanta hu ke aapko kitna bura lag raha hoga lekin sachmuch jo hua wo anjaane me hua. Aapko dukhi karne ka paap main bhool kar bhi nahi kar sakta lekin agar phir bhi aapko lagta hai wo sab maine jaanboojh kar kiya hai toh saja de sakti hai. Aainda main apna chehra bhi saamne nahi launga.", Arjun ne itna kehte hue hath chhoda toh Afsana ko laga jaise uski rooh he jism se juda ho gayi. Kis sammohan me thi wo ye khabar na thi lekin aaj wo Arjun se bhaagna nahi chahti thi.
"Aapki najro me humne kabhi galat iraade nahi dekhe Arjun. Hum yaha aapse maafi maangne aaye the jo hua uske liye. Hum behaya nahi hai jo andruni kapdo me jism-numaish kare. Ilm hota ki aap waha hai toh hum bahar he na nikalte.", Dheemi awaaj me apna dard bayaan karti Afsana ki sunehari aankhon se bhi dard chhalakne laga. Uski masoomiyat aur saafdili dekh Arjun ko ab jyada he bura lag raha tha. Aankhon me wo aansu jab dil ko dard dene lage toh Arjun ne khade ho kar Afsana ko seene se laga liya. Ye harkat wo kabhi nahi kar sakta tha aur Afsana bhi kabhi aisa kadam nahi leti. Lekin ye pal jaise apvaad tha dono ke liye. Afsana ke chehre ko apne seene se lagaaye wo bade pyar se uska sar thaame khada raha.
"Aap galat nahi ho sakti Afsana aur sach kahu toh main kabhi aapko thes nahi pahuchana chahta. Ye kismat kya khel khel rahi hai mujhe bilkul nahi pata. Main dur rehna chahta hu aapse kyonki jaanta hu aap ek behad shaleen aur saaf-dil masoom yuvti hai. Jo hua hai usko main thik toh nahi kar sakta lekin aapke aansu mujhe gunehgar bata rahe hai.", Arjun ke wo pakad bhi jaise jaanti thi ki aagosh me ek khaas yuvti hai. Bahupash ke jagah ye pakad sirf pyaar bhari thi. Afsana ke hath bhi Arjun ki peeth par the aur wo ab kuch sukoon me thi.
"Aap gunehgar ho bhi nahi sakte Arjun aur hume aapke didar se pareshani nahi hai. Bas darr hai ke aap hamare baare me galat khayaal na bana baithe.", Afsana ke dono hath ab Arjun ki bagal me the aur chehra seene par ek taraf rakhe wo niche dekh rahi thi. Arjun bhi ek sukoon se bhar chuka tha Afsana ko apne seene se lagaye. Jab aage koyi aur baat na hui toh Afsana ko dono ki haalat ka bhaan hua. Wo aaj pehli baar kisi gair ke gale lagi thi, wo bhi ek purush ke. Sharir halka kasamasaya toh Arjun ne he kadam peeche hata liye.
"Sorry. Aapki aankhon me aansu dekh kar pata nahi chala."
"Shukriya. Aur hume bura nahi laga.", Afsana ne najre jhukaye ye chhota sa jawaab diya aur jaane ke liye abhi mudi he thi ki Arjun ki baat sunn kar halchal mach gayi.
"Waise aap saafdil hone ke sath he hadd se jyada khoobsurat hai. Naqaab me raha kijiye, dekhne wale ki nazar bhi aisi khoobsurti ko maila kar sakti hai.", Arjun abhi bhi khada he tha aur Afsana ke palatne par phir se wo unhi aankhon ko dekhne laga jo itni der se jhuki hui thi.
"Aapke dekhne se hum maile nahi honge aur ab hume aapke saamne naqaab rakhne ki jarurat bhi nahi lagti. Neend farmaye, hum bhi jaate hai.", Is baar jaane se pehle Afsana ne jis taraf hath se salaam karte hue Arjun ko dekha tha wo gehra asar kar gaya. Afsana khud he uska darwaja band karti hui chali gai.
'Ab nahi aata kabhi punjab. Jis se bachna tha wahi raat ko saamne aa gai. Bhagwaan isko mat pyaar hone dena mujh jaise insaan se.', Arjun khud se itna bolta hua takiya dabaye bister par leit gaya. Ab bechaini nahi thi aur aankhen jald he band ho gayi. Raat ke kisi pehar wo mansal badan Arjun se lipta toh dheemi raftar se ek lamba sansarg shuru ho gaya is band kamre me.

"Ye sandook khol yar Gajju.", Gaanv ke is band pade ghar me bahar jitni khamoshi thi us se jyada chehal pehal is band kamre me thi. Torch ki roshni me Umed, Daleep ke sath Narinder har cheej ko bade dhyaan se jaanch raha tha. Yaha unhe kuch jaankari toh mili thi lekin wo utni bhi khaas nahi thi. Kone me rakha wo lohe ka bada sandook dekhna baaki tha. Umed ne pechkas se bina tala khole he sandook ka kabja nikal diya.
"Sala ye Karam Singh akela he rehta tha kya? Na biwi na bache aur baaki dono kamre toh aise khaali the jaise unki jarurat he na padi ho kabi. Chal tu dekh andar kya hai, main roshni deta hu.", Sandook ke dhakkan ko pakde Umed torch se roshni dikhane laga aur Narinder ne wo rajaai nikal kar ek taraf rakh di. Yaha ab bahot kuch tha us rajaai ko hatane ke baad. 2 purani album, kuch khatt, shwet-shyaam tasvire aur kuch asla jo purana tha.
"Bandook aur khanjar par hath mat lagana. Dekh hathhi par plastic bandha hua hai.", Umed ne jaise he chetaya toh Narinder ne rumaal se dono he cheej pakad kar charpai par rakh di. Ek lakdi ka baksa bhi tha jispar chhota sa tala laga tha. Aise bakse jyadar suhagane ya yuvtiya purane samay me saaj-sajja ka samaan rakhne ke liye prayog karti thi.
"Ye bahot he purana baksa hai be Gajju. Aisa ek tere bhi ghar tha aur meri maa ke pas bhi. Tala laga hai toh matlab ye kaam ki cheej hai."
"Haan toh nikal le na. Chal kar araam se dekhenge kaunsi sone ki bindi aur chaandi ki libstick hai isme. Wo tabeej bhi utha jo is kagaj ke niche hai."
"Ye kagaj nahi photo hai aur ye toh dhibri (mori) wala sikka hai dhaage me bandha.", Inder ne wo dono cheej uthane ke baad tabeej jeb me aur tasvir charpayi par rakh di. Itne me he Daleep ki awaaj par dhyaan gaya.
"Idhar dekho bhai kya mila. Ye is photo ke peeche tha aur bhi kaagaj hai is folder me.", Diwar par tangi us haar chadhi purani tasvir ke peeche se Daleep ko ek bada packet aur ye tasvir mili thi jisme 8 jawaan aadmi the. Ek ke chehre par gol ghera banaya gaya tha. Narinder sab kaam chhod kar us tasvir ko dekhne laga.
"Behanchod ye kya bawaal hai be Gajju? Dekhiyo jara ye papa aur Raghubir chacha he hai na?", Safed patloon aur kaali kameej he dikh rahi thi un dono ke sharir par, tasvir ke shwet-shyaam hone ki wajah se. Lekin un chehro ko pehchan pana mushkil tha kyonki sabhi 15 se 23-24 saal ke beech ke the.
"Haan be ye toh papa he hai aur ye Sombir tauji hai. Baaki kisi ko toh main nahi pehchanta. Lekin is ladke ke upar gola kyu mara hai jiske kandhe par chacha ka hath hai?"
"Photo daal bhai Daleep wapis packet me. Ye bahot kaam ki cheej hai aur iska yaha hona apne aap me hairani wali baat hai. 50 saal purani photo wo bhi is ghar me."
"Ye sab main jhole me daalta hu, Daleep bhai sandook ka kabja wapis daba do aur nikate hai yaha se.", Umed ke kehne ke sath he agle 5 minute me poora kamra pehle ki tarah vyavasthit ho chuka tha. 2 thaile samaan liye wo teeno he badi kushalta se is purane ghar se bahar nikal gaye. Dur kahi kutto ke rone ki awaaj ke siwa bas inke kadmo ki halki aahat he the is gehri raat me. Aage sunsaan kheto ke beech pagdandi se raste par chalte hue wo 10 minute baad sadak par pahuch gaye.
"Rajesh, kya raha?"
"Kya raha? Ye dekho sala meri car pe driver side ki taraf se ek aadmi goli maar kar gayab ho gaya aur tumhe awaaj tak sunai na di. Chakkar kya hai ye sab.? Pehle toh mujhe bhi samajh nahi aaya tha ke tum wo dummy sath kyu laaye lekin dekho uska bheja udaa diya kambakhto ne aur mujhe mauka bhi nahi mila unhe pakadne ka.", Rajesh ki halat dekh Narinder hans raha tha.
"Saale tum ho sahi nautanki. Kaha hai wo aadmi?", Ab is sawaal par Rajesh muskura diya.
"Dikki me hai harami. Batao goli chalane aaya tha toh chala ke bhaag jaye. Lekin nahi pehle darwaja khatkhatayenge, fir baat bhi karni hai. Kanpati pe ek hath pada toh moot nikal gaya lulli se uski. Baandh ke daal liya dikki me saale ko aur uski fatfati udhar fenk di jhaadiyon me. Chalo ab nikalte hai."
"Goli sachmuch chali thi kya?", Daleep ne chinta se kaha.
"Pagla gaye ho kya Daleep bhai. Ye car meri dilruba hai aur agar wo goli chalata toh maine gaand kaat deta uski. Ab is dummi ko bhi fenkna padega.", Car ki agli seat par plastic ka aadamkad murat bithaya hua tha inhone, kameej pehna kar.
"Abe fenkna matt, apne Daleep bhai ke kaam aayega. Dekh kaise motte chuche hai iske aur laane wale bhi Rajesh tum kamaal hai. Aadmi ka statue mangwaya lekin nahi londiya he pasand hai. Daleep bhai isme chhed kar lena, bhabhi toh ab naraaj hai lekin ye hamesha sath rahegi bina kuch kahe.", Narinder ne wo moorat pichli seat par beech me rakhi toh Daleep sachmuch uske seene par hath firane laga.
"Yaha pe thoda rubber lagwa do bhai toh main kaam chala lunga..", Daleep ki is baat par baaki teeno bhi thahaka laga gaye.
"Hahaha.. mast aadmi ho yar aap. Waise idea bura bhi nahi hai lekin isko aise he rakho main jab America jaunga toh aapke liye chudai wali gudiya leta aaunga. Uske gubbare daba daba kar pelna saali ko.", Rajesh ne car chalu karte hue kaha aur ye hanste hue baaton ke sath jaankari bhi sanjha karne lage. Andhere me gaadi wapis chal padi.
"Gaushala he chalte hai yar.", Narinder ki baat sunn kar Daleep ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Waha is waqt araam nahi kar sakte Inder aur neend liye bina mujhe chain nahi aata. Hotel he sahi rahega."
"Haan, hotel he chalte hai Daleep bhai. Roshni bhi hogi aur sakoon se sara kaam bhi kar lenge.", Rajesh ne bhi apna dimaag dikha diya jiski jarurat nahi thi.
"Oh kaath ke ullu, jo murga dikki main hai usko bhi hotel me rakhega kya?",Ye Umed na kaha toh ab kisi ne koyi sawaal na kiya. Car poori raftaar se gaushala ki aur badhne lagi. Aaj ek bahot badi sendh lagai thi in logo ne aur uske parniaam kya hone waale hai ye toh din nikalne par he pata chalna tha.

Gurdeep ki motti tarbooj si gaand Arjun se buri tarah chipki thi aur peeche se uska ek sudol stann dabate hue Arjun bhi kahi gehre lekin dheeme dhakko se uski tight choot ko apne lund ka abhyast kar raha tha. Paune 4 baje Gurdeep chupke se idhar chali aayi thi aur pichle aadhe ghante me khamosi se chalti ye chudaai ab apne charam par aane wali thi. 3 baar apna kaamras nikalne ke bawjood Gurdeep uska bharpoor sath de rahi thi. Lund se pach-pach ki ye halki awaaj dono ka he maja bakhaan karti rahi.
"ummm.. bas karo aahhh.. din me kiya tha tab bathroom jaane me bhi taklif ho rahi thi.. ufff.. ab toh lagta hai wo bhi mushkil hone wala hai.", Arjun uske maadak awaajo se aur tej dhakke lagane laga.
"Dhyaan rakhna tha na.. hhhhuuuuhh.. ab hone he wala hai.. bas..aahh.. sachmuch tumhara josh ummeed se jyada hai.."
"Ishhh... ho gayi main..aahh.. marr jaungi agar itni baar ye royegi toh.. aahhh... "
"Huhhhhh... lo..", Arjun ne lund choot se nikal kar gaand ke chhed par daba dia. Wo kora chhed naam-maatra he khula tha lekin poora lava usme bharne ke baad he Arjun alag hua.
"Chhhiii.. kar di na manmani.. aahh.. waha nahi lungi tumhara.. aahhh maa..", Dhimi awaaj karti wo bathroom chali gayi aur Arjun uske peeche.
"Ab aur nahi karna.", Nirvastra Gurdeep ke chehre par aseem khushi thi aur uski naa bhi jaisi saaf jhooth. Kharbuje se gol aur motti chuchiya laal padd chuki thi wahi gudadwaar se nikal kar moti sudol jaangho par behta Arjun ka veerya usko aur kaamuk dikha raha tha.
"Main nahane aaya hu darling kyonki sava 4 baj chuke hai. Saaf karo khud ko aur jaldi se wahi chali jao jaha se aayi thi.", Gurdeep ne samay ko gambhirta se liya aur apne sharir par paani udelti saaf karne lagi. Baal bheegne nahi diye aur poore 5 minute me he wo toliya lapete kamre me chali gayi. Arjun nityakriya se farig hone ke baad naha kar bahar aaya toh bister ab saaf tha. Toliya utha kar sharir sukhate hue wo kuch soch he raha tha ki alarm ki bahot halki awaaj sunai padi. Diwar ghadi bhi 5 baja rahi thi lekin itni jaldi kaun uthne laga tha? Arjun ki soch alarm ki awaaj band hone ke sath he khatam ho gayi.
Kapde pehan kar wo atche se tayaar hua aur seedha rasoi me chala aaya. Kisi ko jagane ka koyi irada na tha isliye khud he doodh garam karte hue hall ki light bhi jala di. Alka-Gurdeep jis kamre me thi uska darwaja khula tha aur dono he gehri neend me thi.
'Matlab Aarti ne alarm lagaya tha? Unhe kya jarurat hai itni jaldi uthne ki?', Arjun apne he khayalo me tha aur doodh ubal gaya.
'Ho gaya jyada garam.', Idhar udhar dekhne par jab kuch samajh nahi aaya toh kapde se he patila pakad kar hilate hue doodh thanda karne laga.
"Aap rehne dijiye, main kar deti hu.", Is khanakti awaaj ko sunn kar Arjun palta toh salwar-kameej pehne aur dupatte se seene ke sath sar ko dhake Afsana khadi thi. Nahane ke baad taja gulab si khili Afsana ka ye roop bhi jaanleva tha. Arjun ektak bas usko he dekhta raha.
"Khuli aankhon se khwaab dekhna galat nahi lekin hath me garam patili ke sath dekhna galat hai. Laaiye, hum karte hai aur aap baithak me jaaye.", Is baar Afsana ne ek taraf se kapde par hath rakha toh dono ki ungliya ek dusre ko chhuu gayi. Arjun ne aahista se patila Afsana ke hawale kiya lekin kareeb he khada raha. Saamne ki taraf bani chhoti si almari se Afsana ne jug nikal kar doodh ko faintna shuru kiya toh Arjun ko samajh aaya ki bartan kaha rakhe hote.
"Aapko kasht nahi dena chahta tha aur mujhe in drawers ka bhi pata nahi tha ki bartan yaha honge."
"Aap itni savere uth jaate hai iska ilm nahi tha. Hum pehle he kar dete agar khabar hoti. Saath me kya lenge?", Un gori kalaiyon me khoya Arjun ab kya jawaab deta. Thodi bahot bhi kalai dikh rahi thi toh wo bas isliye ki Afsana ko hatho ko hilana padd raha tha. Uske sabhi paridhan poori aasteen wale he dekhe the Arjun ne. Itne kareeb se wo geele baalo se aati sugandh bhi mahua ka asar karne lagi toh Arjun ne khud ko sambhala. Afsana ne sharmate hue doodh ka gilas Arjun ko thamaya aur bahar jaane lagi. Arjun ko toh ye pata he na chala tha kab doodh gilas me daal diya Afsana ne.
"Rukiye. Main bhi bahar he jaane wala hu toh aapko drop kar dunga."
"Hum khaali hath jaayenge kya? Motor chalane jaa rahe hai jis se paani ki kami na ho.", Arjun is jawaab se khud he jhemp gaya. Afsana kal raat jab aayi thi toh ek bag liye thi aur abhi bhi usne saaf kapde pehne the aur Aarti ke kapde Afsana ke aane wale nahi the. Muskurata hua wo doodh ki ghoont bharne laga. 10 minute baad he Afsana ek baar fir uske saamne thi, hath me bag liye.
"Arjun, tum itni subah kaha ja rahe ho?", Aarti bhi unindi si kamre se bahar chali aayi toh Arjun ko tayaar dekh pooch liya.
"Wo mujhe Jagtar bhaiya se kaam hai toh unhone sadhe 5 baje bola tha aane ke liye. Ghante bhar tak wapis aa jaunga. Nashte ke liye kuch lana hai?", Arjun ki nashte wali baat par Afsana ne ghoor kar Aarti ko dekha jo ab muskura rahi thi.
"Haan, chhole poodi le aana 3 plate. Gurughar ke pas he dukaan hai jo 6 baje he sab banane lagte hai."
"Aapko maloom hain na Aarti ammi ne khaas kaha tha ke aaj naasta hamare yaha hai aapka? 8 baje matlab 8 baje. Aur aap hume hamare ghar tak chhod sakte hai?", Afsana ke gusse ko dekh Aarti aur Arjun bas muskura rahe the.
"Chhodega kyu nahi. Tum kaho toh Arjun goad me le jayega. Hahahaha..", Ab Afsana ka gussa kafoor ho chuka tha aur chehre par sharam chha gayi.
"Chaliye main aapko ghar ke saamne utaar dunga. Aarti didi waise he majaak kar rahi thi.", Arjun ne bag lena chaha toh Afsana ne naa me gardan hilate hue usko apne sath laga liya.
"Aap chaliye hum aate hai.", Arjun car ki chaabi liye bahar chal diya.
"Aap jaanti hai na Aarti aisa majak nahi karna chahiye? Aapke bhai ke saamne he ye behuda baat karni thi?"
"Rehne de meri bholi gudiya, sab jaanti hu main. Tere gaal aise he gulabi nahi hue the aur abhi tu nikal, naaste par teri aisi khinchai karungi yaad rakhegi.", Aarti ke kathan me alag he josh tha aur sakuchati si Afsana uska hath pakde bahar chal di.
"Aap ye maskhari ammi ke saamne matt kariyega. Waise pehli baar hum aise jaa rahe hai, kuch galat toh nahi hain na?"
"Oh meri maa, ye mera bhai hai aur aunty ji isko jaanti hai bachpan se. Is mohalle me tujhe shayad he koyi jaanta ho jo tu itni parwah karti hai."
"Humko sabhi jaante hai ke hum Afsana Hussain hai.",Afsana ke bholepan par Aarti ko hansi aa gayi.
"Tere naam ko aur tere burke ko jaante honge lekin ye jo pari jaisi sundar ladki hai na isko yaha kisi ne nahi dekha. Ja wo tera intjaar kar raha hai. Mere bhai se thoda dur rehna, keh deti hu.", Aarti jaldi se darwaja band karti hui andar bhaag aayi.
"Aapko maar ki jarurat hai thodi.", Hansti hui Afsana ke motiyon se daant aur surkh gulabi adharo ko dekhta Arjun fir se dhyaan bhatakne laga. Darwaja band hone ki awaaj par usko hosh aaya lekin Afsana pichli seat par ja baithi thi.
"Driver wali feeling le rahi hai aap toh.", Arjun ne ye baat shishe me dekhte hue kahi aur Afsana ne dupatte ka ek seera chehre par kar liya.
"Hum aapki tauheen nahi kar rahe hai lekin sath baithna sawaal bann sakta hai. Aapko bura laga toh hum utar sakte hai.."
"Hahaha.. Matlab aap hain kya? Aisi chhoti chhoti baaton se bhala bura kisko lagta hai. Main apni didi aur maa ko bhi pichli seat par baitha kar he gaadi chalata hu. Aur atcha hai ki aap pichli seat par hai, nahi toh gaadi chalate hue dhyaan bhatakna khatarnaak ho sakta hai."
"Bas kijiye ab. Dekh abhi bhi aap idhar he rahe hai aur aisa karna galat hai.", Arjun ne ye baat turant maan li aur khamoshi se sadak par dhyaan dene laga. Shaant mahol aur park me sair karte hue gine chune log. Lekin ab Afsana ko ye khamoshi khatak rahi thi. Wo aaine me lagatar dekh rahi thi jaise Arjun se ab najar milegi. Ghar ke saamne car rukte he wo hosh me aayi. Bina kuch kahe wo seedha gate kholti hui andar chali gayi. Arjun ne bhi car ko Jagtar bhai ke ghar ke pas wale park ki taraf ghuma liya. Aaj bahot kuch jaankari leni thi unse gaanv aur waha ke logo ke baare me.
Jawaan Din-Haseen Raat (3)
"Maa, Arjun apne Pandit ji ka pauta hai aur college me jo vakya hua tha na waha isne he madad ki thi.", Arjun us aalishan drawing hall me Jagtar ke pas he baitha tha jaha pichli bar gehra sannatta tha. Aaj ghar pe Jagtar aur uski mata ji maujud the lekin Jasleen pados me he Kirti ke ghar gayi hui thi. Jagtar ne Arjun ka parichaya diya toh uski mata ji ne bade he sneh se Arjun ke sar par hath firate hue aashirwad diya.
"Sanskar aur sewa ke liye alag he sthaan hai beta tumhare pariwar ka. Bahot khushi hui tumhe saamne dekh kar aur apne bacho ka ek sahi dost dekh kar. Waise toh Jaggi bhi bahot atcha aur jimmewar hai beta hai lekin tumhare baare me pata chala toh milne ki bahut itcha thi.", Arjun aur Jagtar ek-ek sofe par baithe the aur Jagtar ki mata ji ne kaanch ki table par dono ke liye doodh ke sath mewe rakhe aur unke saamne wale bade sofe par baith gayi.
"Aunty ji shiksha me toh aapne bhi koyi kami nahi aane di hai. Bhaiya dharam-karam ke sath sath kitne jimmewar hai ye main pichli mulakaat me he dekh chuka hu. Aur jaisi sakratmak urja aapke ghar me vyapt hai us se saaf pata chalta hai ke aap swayam he sidhhant aur sanskaro ko mehtava sarvopari rakhti hai. Pehli guru maa he hoti hai har bache ke jiwan me aur maa shresth hoti hai.", Arjun ne ek bar fir unki taraf dono hath jodd kar abhivadan kiya toh aunty ji ke chehre par alag he muskaan aa gayi. Idhar ye tagdi deel-daul wala kutta matakta hua aaya aur Jagtar ki goad me aa baitha. Wajan kahi jyada he tha uska lekin jaise wo khud ko abhi tak pilla he samajhta tha.
"Lo dekh lo sanskar. Ye halat hai yaha ghar ki aur tumhara ye bhai abhi tak bada nahi hua hai."
"Jeus naam hai na iska? Aapne toh iske sath bhi koyi farak nahi kiya. Ye dil maa ka he ho sakta hai jo har bache ko bacha he maanti hai.", Arjun dwara apna naam liye jaane se us kutte ne bhi ek baar dekhte hue jeebh nikal kar jata diya ke haa main he Jeus hu.
"Bada atcha laga beta ji tumhare vichar jaan kar. Ye Jeus aur Jaggi dono he ek jaise hai mere liye. Haan ek ghar me mera khayal rakhta hai aur dusra bahar. Waise beta ji main aur Jaggi maharashtra ja rahe hai aur shaadi wale din hamara waha aana mumkin nahi hoga. Main khud waha tumhare pariwar se milne jarur aaungi wapis lautne par."
"Bebe (maa), Jassi ja rahi hai vyaah vich. Appa Bambai toh aaye baad mil aavanage. Arjun bhai maa ne mannat bhi ki hui hai aur ye sab pehle se nirdharit tha isliye pehle he saaf batana uchit hai. Haan Jassi apni saheliyon ke sath shaadi me shamil ho jayegi. Bas behan ka khayal rakhna, jaanta hu ke tum aisa he karoge par ab ek he chaand hai hamare ghar me toh thodi parwah rehti hai.", Arjun ko bada atcha laga tha aunty ji aur Jagtar ka bilkul he saaf baat karna aur dono he pyaar se bhare vyakti the.
"Koyi shikayat ka mauka nahi milega aapko. Ab main chalta hu aunty ji, market me didi bhi intjaar kar rahi hongi. Agli bar jab bhi aana hua toh aapse jarur milne aaunga.", Arjun khada hua toh aunty ji bhi uth gaye. Nimantran patra aur mithai ka dibba ab Jagtar ke hath me tha jo ishare se Arjun ko baithne ka keh raha tha.
"Bitiya ko bhi lete aana tha beta. Lekin main jaanti hu aisa isliye nahi kiya hoga kyonki fir bahana kya banate. Jaggi, iske sath Kirti ke ghar chale jao beta. Card Arjun ka he dena behtar hai.", Jaha Arjun Kirti wala card bhi idhar se de kar nikalna chahta tha ab aunty ji ki wajah se usko unke bhi ghar jana padna tha.
"Chal Jeus, thoda sair karke aate hai.", Jaggi waise he chappal pehne Arjun ke sath chal diya. Arjun ne jaane se pehle aunty ji ka aashirwad liya aur unhone bhi pehli bar ghar aane par halki sakhtai ke sath Arjun ki jeb me shagun daal diya. Bahar sadak par Jeus badi shalinta se in dono ke beech chal raha tha.
"Ye wala Kirti ka ghar hai bhai jo din me hamesha he khali rehta hai. Poora pariwar he business dekhta hai, aunty ji bhi.", Jagtar ne is aalishan ghar ki ghanti bajate hue bataya aur udhar Jeus bagal wale khambe par he taang utha kar apni pehchaan lagane me vyast ho gaya. Ghar aalishan tha lekin ekdum khamosh. Lakdi ka wo bada darwaja khula toh saamne Kirti aur Jasleen dono he khadi thi. Dono he aadhunik yuvtiya is waqt dheeli tshirt aur jhaalar wale pajama pehne bhi behad aakarshak lag rahi thi aur Jasleen ke chehre par sapaat bhaav dekh Arjun ne he najre Kirti ki taraf kar di.
"Hello Kirti.", Arjun ne itna kaha aur Jagtar ye lohe ka gate kholta andar he chal diya Arjun ka hath pakde hue.
"Gate se he hello shallo karoge ab? Kirti, ye shaadi ka card dene aaya hai tumhe. Priyanka ka aana possible nahi hua toh Arjun ko jehmat uthani padi. Aunty ji abhi tak nahi aaye?", Jagtar itna bol kar is jagmag hall me chala aaya aur udhar Kirti ne bade josh se Arjun ka hath thaam liya.
"Thank you so much Arjun aur mujhe Priyanka ne phone par bata diya tha ke tum aane wale ho par time nahi pata tha. Jaggi tumhe pata hai na mom 6 baje tak he aati hai. Main maid ko bol kar thanda banwati hu tum log baitho.", Kirti ne chehre se baalo ki lat kaan ke peeche karte hue kaha toh Arjun ne najre hatate hue ek baar Jasleen ko dekha aur apna jawaab diya.
"Nahi Kirti ji, uski koyi jarurat nahi hai. Main abhi Jaggi bhaiya ke ghar se aa raha hu aur aunty ji ne khila pila kar he bheja hai. Waise bhi thoda jaldi me hu toh rukna munasib nahi hai.", Jasleen uski baat sunn kar andar ki taraf chal di. Jaane kya wajah thi aur abhi tak usne Arjun ko hello bhi nahi kaha tha.
"Jarurat kaise nahi hai? Maan liya aunty ji ne atchi sewa ki hai par yaha bhi pehli baar he aaye ho toh 5 minute baith he sakte ho.", Kirti ne hath pakad kar baithaya toh Arjun bhi 5 minute ke liye maan gaya. Jaggi ne Jeus ko apne pas na dekh idhar udhar najar daudai.
"Oh bhai tum baitho main jara Jeus ko dekh kar aaya. Wo agar park me bhaag gaya toh maa ne hum dono ko he ghar se nikal dena hai is baar.", Jagtar teji se bahar aaya toh Jeus unke he ghar ki taraf ja raha tha jaha Aunty ji khade the.
"Maa bula rahi hai Arjun, main tumse kal savere milta hu bhai kyonki abhi gurughar ka samay ho gaya hai unka.", Jagtar ne hath hilate hue kaha toh Arjun ne bhi thodi hichak ke sath sar hila kar haan keh diya. Arjun aur Jagtar ne savere saadhe 5 baje milne ka samay nishchit kiya tha kuch baatein karne ke liye.
"Mera number nahi hai tumhare pas? Ghar aa rahe ho toh bata bhi sakte the ki kis waqt pahuchne wale ho.", Ab Jasleen ke chehre par sirf gussa he tha aur Kirti rasoi me ja chuki thi. Lakdi ka mukhya darwaja bhi band tha.
"Wo.. wo maine socha ki aap ghar he milogi, college band hai toh.", Arjun shayad Kirti ka ghar hone ki wajah se jyada fikarmand tha. Lekin Kirti ki parwah na karte hue Jasleen waise he gusse me bolti hui uske kareeb baith gayi.
"Aap? Bahot sahi aur har baat khud he soch liya karo ke main kaha milungi aur tum apni marji se he aaoge. Jitni baar phone par baat ki hamesha tumhara haan-hun jaisa jawaab lekin yaha aane ke baad toh araam se phone kar sakte the na?", Arjun apne ghar kaise Jasleen se khul kar baat kar sakta tha jaha koyi na koyi maujud rehta tha. University se 2 baar phone kiya tha lekin dono bar Jagtar se he baat hui thi.
"Wo maine bhi phone kiya tha 2 baar lekin Jaggi bhaiya ne uthaya toh baat nahi ho paayi. Itna gussa aur kam se kam ye toh dekho hum kaha baithe hai.", Arjun ne thodi himmat karte hue Jasleen ka hath apne dono hath ke beech lete hue kaha. Ye sparsh he toh tha jiski kami ne Jasleen ko sataya tha. Pal me he wo khamosh ho gayi. Najre dono ki he ek dusre ko nihar rahi thi aur us khoobsurat chehre par halka dard ubhar aaya.
"Sorry for my bad behaviour. Tumhe kaise batau ki kitna intjaar kar rahi thi main tumhara aur phir aaye bhi toh mujhe yaad nahi kiya. Bura nahi lagega kya?"
"Aaya bhi toh dopahar me he hu aur 3 ghante baad tumhare ghar. Maine kaha tha na ke aise safar par chalne ki koshish matt karna? Tum bahot he pyaari ladki jo Jasleen aur tumhe dard dene wala duniya ka sabse badnaseeb insaan he ho sakta hai.", Arjun ke aisa kehne par Jasleen ne uske hontho par hath rakh diya.
"Shhhh.. Itna bhi jaleel mat karo ab. Bas ho jati hu thodi emotional aur gussa apne upar he aata hai. Waise tum 5 minute me jaane ka kyu bol rahe the?", Jasleen ka patla chharhara jism ab poori tarah se Arjun ke sath juda hua tha baayi taraf se. Wo gori naajuk ungliya hontho par he thi jinhe Arjun ke choomte he sharam se Jasleen ne hata liya. "gande kahi ke."
"5 minute se jyada tumhare pas raha toh phir se thank you le lunga aur ye jagah alag hai. Waise market me didi intjaar kar rahi hongi isliye bhi jaldi jana hai.", Arjun aakhiri baar wale chumban ka jikar kiya toh Jasleen ne khud he uska hath majbooti se pakad liya.
"Chalo utho aur ghar chalo mere sath. 5 minute mere hisse ke abhi baaki hai.", Jasleen ko bhi pata tha ki ab unke ghar bhi koyi nahi hoga. Kirti khaas dost thi lekin uske saamne wo bhi khul kar Arjun se baat nahi kar sakti thi. Jasleen ke khade hote he Arjun ki najar us dheele pajame ke khaas hisse par atak gayi. Jasleen ke tarashe hue madhyam se ubhaar aur lambi taange jaanleva thi. Kirti idhar he chali aayi tray me sharbat liye.
"Ab tum dono uth kar kaha chalne ki tayaari me ho?"
"Ye wapis ja raha hai aur ghar pe cards reh gaye hai jo uthane hai. Main aati hu 5 minute me wapis.", Ye 5 minute jaise aaj har insaan maang raha tha aur Arjun ne dhanyawad karte hue ek saans me sharbat ka gilas khaali karke tray me rakh diya.
"Jaldi he milte hai aur abhi kuch jaruri kaam hai toh jana jaruri hai Kirti ji."
"Samajh sakti hu aur agli baar samay nikaal kar he aana Arjun.", Kirti darwaje tak chhodne bahar aayi aur dono he Jasleen ke ghar ki taraf badh chale.
"Waha shisha bhi laga tha aur tum najre jyada he ghumate rehte hai.", Ghar ke andar aate he Jasleen ne Arjun ke maje lene shuru kar diye.
"Model jaisi ho tum bilkul ya ye kahu ke ek khoobsurat model.", Arjun andar hall me aaya toh Jeus ek taraf ungh raha tha. Aaj ghar me kaam karne wali wo aunty najar nahi aayi thi jo shayad avkaash pe thi. Arjun ke kadam rukne he lage the aur Jasleen hath pakadti usko apne kamre me aa gayi.
"X-ray karne ke baad kitni dhitai se jawaab dete ho. Waise sachmuch bahot gande ho tum.. Ummaahhh.", Jis josh se Jasleen ne Arjun ki kameej pakadte hue apne honth uske hontho se milaye the Arjun dheela he padd gaya. Jasleen ki tadap toh bina kisi milan ke he charam par thi aur uske patle madd-bhare hontho ka swaad bharpoor mithaas se bhara tha. Aisa he chumban Arjun ne kiya tha aur Jasleen jaise us din ko he yaad karti hui apna pyaar dikhane lagi. 25-26 inch ki us makhmali kamar par Arjun ka sparsh hote he Jasleen ki wo badi badi aankhen jhatke me khul gayi. Wo pur-kashish se bas Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Mardana sparsh is andruni naram hisse par nayi tarange paida karne laga. Rengte hue dono hath ne jaise he Jasleen ke kulho ko dabate hue Arjun ke sath atche se chipkaya uski aankhen fir se band ho gayi.
Kampkampate geele gulabi hontho par ab Arjun janleva kalakari karta hua Jasleen ko apna poora ehsaas karwane laga. Jaha Jasleen ke sharir se nikalti khaas mehak Arjun ko uttejit kar rahi thi wahi Arjun ka mardana sparsh aur uske hatho ke majbooti me Jasleen bhi pighalne lagi. Uske madhyam akaar ke thos chuche pehli baar mard ki chhati se dabte hue aur kathor hone lage. Samay se pare inka ye chumban ab ek dusre ki rasna choosne tak aage badh chala. Jasleen ki jeebh ko jitna Arjun apne mooh me pakad kar choosta, utna he wo meetha taral rista hua uske halak se niche utar jata. Ye chumban ab hadd se aage ja raha tha aur Arjun ki hatheli ne Jasleen ka wo kathor ubhar poora muthi me jakad liya. Jasleen ke sharir ka har roya second ke 100ve bhaag me khada ho chuka tha is harkat se. Uske ubhar par bas Arjun ka hath lagne maatra se ek lehar nabhi se uski akshat yoni tak daud gayi. Sharir me asankhya visphot aaj pehli baar he hue the aur Jasleen nidhal hoti hui Arjun ki baahon me pighal gayi.
Aaj se pehle tak Jasleen ko sirf hasthmaithun ka thoda anubhav tha wo bhi akele me yoni ko upar se sehlane tak. Lekin Arjun ke us sparsh ne jaise uski yoni ko ras-vihin he kar diya tha aur wo bhi bina waha kuch kiye. 2 minute baad kahi Jasleen ko hosh aaya toh wo bister par leti thi. Kareeb baitha Arjun bade pyaar se uska matha aur gaal sehlate hue bas usko he nihare ja raha tha. Jasleen ke chehre par jahan bhar ki sharam aur laali vyapt thi jiska bhaan Arjun ko atche se tha.
"Kya ye pehli baar tha?", Arjun ke aise sawaal ne jaise Jasleen ko nirvastra he kar diya. Takiye me mooh chupane ki koshish bhi jab nakaam rahi toh sharmati hui Jasleen ne bhi kehna uchit samjha.
"Har roj toh tum mujhe kiss nahi karte na? Aur aaj kiss se kuch jyada he ho gaya tha. Bahot jyada gande ho tum aur sab tumne kiya hai."
"Waise sach kahu toh mera hath tumne khud he apne yaha rakha tha aur ye nishan tumhare he nakhoon ke hai meri kalai par. Diet lena shuru karo thodi, abhi hath lagane se behosh ho rahi ho aur kal ko thoda aage badh gaye toh pata nahi police mera kya haal karegi.", Arjun se us sparsh ki asliyat pata lagte he wo aur jayda he sharmane lagi thi. Najre churati wo karwat liye dusri taraf mooh karke dhime sawar me bolne lagi.
"Mujhe tumhara sparsh har taraf chahiye aur utne he pyaar se jitna tumne kiss kiya. Waise sachmuch tum bure ho. Ye bhi toh keh sakte the ki tumne khud he hath waha rakha.", Is tarah karwat hone se Arjun ab atche se Jasleen ke ubhre hue nitamb nihar raha tha. Wahi Jasleen bas khayal bana rahi thi ab Arjun kya sochega aur kya bolega. Lekin jaise he apne lachile kulho par Arjun ka hath rengta mehsoos hua, Jasleen ki dhadkan phir se aniyantrit ho gayi. Wo jhallar wala dheela makhmali pajama jaise waha tha he nahi aur golakar kataav liye wo hissa itna romanchit bhi kar sakta hai ye Jasleen ne bas abhi mehsoos kiya.
"Abhi chalta hu Jas, der ho rahi hai. Jald milte hain.", Arjun ne upar jhukte hue chehra saamne kiya toh Jasleen jaise nivedan kar rahi thi ki aaj wo uske pas he rahe. Ye mumkin kaha tha. Ek pal dono ke honth mile aur Arjun turant yaha se nikal chala. Aaj he Jasleen ne mehsoos kiya tha ki Arjun ab uske liye kya maayne rakhne laga hai. Wo uske bina sachmuch jee na sakegi aur Arjun ne khud pehle he usko mana kiya tha in kadmo ko rokne ke liye. Is duvidha me bhi Jasleen ki chahat ek samaan badh he rahi thi.
'I love you..', Itna kehti wo phir se un char taadiyo wale pankhe ko niharne lagi jaise shunya me bhi waha Arjun ka he chehra ho.

Is tehkhane me kahi jyada he andhkar tha aur lambai agyaat. Seedhiyon se 4 jodi kadam niche is thandak bhare tehkhane me utarne lage toh ek pal ke liye jaise surya he prakashit ho gaya us shaksh ke saamne jo kursi par adhnangi halat me bandha tha. Kis band pade godam ka ye tehkhana 100 gaj ke kareeb lambai aur uske aadhi chaudai liye ek bada hall tha. Roshni se aankhen kuch abhyast hui toh apni taraf badhte kadmo ki disha me dhyaan gaya.
"Itne bhi shatir nahi ho ki hamari najar me na aao. Toh kaise ho Balbir Lohan? Suna hai chhena-jhaptti chhod kar ab logo ke katal karwane ke thekedar bann gaye ho.", Pandit Rameshwar Sharma ke sath unka pauta Sanjiv Sharma bhi hamesha ki tarah uchit patloon kameej aur chamde ke joote pehne is shaksh ke kareeb aa khada hua. Pandit ji ki awaaj he bahut rehti thi kisi bhi purane mujrim ko yaad dilane ke liye ki ye vyakti abhi tak un file par kaam jaari rakhe hai jo inke retirement tak adhuri thi. Police department khud inse gujarish karta tha apni sevayen dene ki, sa-shart aur natija bhi saamne tha. Jald he Pandit ji Lohan ke saamne rakhi kursi par baith gaye. Col sahab bhi DIG Nirmal Singh ke sath yaha maujud the.
"Pandit ji.. main aapke pariwar se koso dur raha hu. Wo.. woh toh Shankar ne humla kiya toh bachaav karna he pada. Dekhiye mujhe doctor aur vakeel ki jarurat hai, remand court me pesh karke bhi le sakte hai.", Lohan tha jigar wala chahe wo is shaksh se darta tha aur pata bhi tha ke yaha koyi maar-pitai wala kaam uske sath nahi kiya jayega.
"Dekho Balbir, maine tumhe 27 saal pehle ek chhoti si chori ke apradh me baksh diya tha kyonki ek mauka sabko milna chahiye. Badle me tumne kya kiya? Kaise adaa kiya us ehsaan ka badla jis se hum tumhe ek behtar vyakti banana chahte the? Aaj tum keh rahe ho ke mere pariwar se koso dur ho, lekin sach tumhe atche se pata hai bete. Galti ek baar hoti hai ya 2 baar, uske baad wo niyat aur aadat. Yaha sirf mere he pariwar ki badaulat tumhe nahi laya gaya hai kyonki wo log toh tumhe kuch samajhte he nahi. Jaante ho na mera ishara?", Ab kahi Lohan ka kanth sookh gaya tha. Aaj bhi Rameshwar ji ne usko bete keh kar pukara tha jaise 27 saal pehle usko thaane se riha karte hue kaha tha. Majboot apradhi ka bhi sar niche jhukan bata raha tha ki Pandit ji ne kabhi uske sath bura nahi kiya tha aur wo unhe he chott pahuchane me laga raha.
"Sir, main baat karne ki ijajat chahta hu is se.", Sanjiv ne apne he dada ko 'sir' keh kar sambodhit kiya tha aur Lohan ne is awaaj ko sunn kar Sanjiv ki taraf dekha jo manjuri milne ke baad ab thik Lohan ke saamne khada tha.
"Tum bache ho. Mujhse agar koyi baat karega toh wo Pandit ji.", Lohan ke aisa kehne par Sanjiv ke chehre par alag he bhaav aa gaye. Ek kutil muskaan liye wo Lohan ke samne jhuk gaya chehra kareeb karte hue.
"Hum 2 bhai hai Lohan aur dono he har kaam aise karte hai ki dekhne wale ko bas ek he najar aata hai. Jaante ho ye bachkana sa lagne wala andaaj humne kaha se seekha hai? Video game se. Main saamne rehkar goliyan chalata hu toh sabko lagta hai ke main he hu jo hu lekin unko wo nahi dikhta jo har taraf najar rakhe mujhko cover deta. Tum jaante ho mere bhai ko aur wo mujhse bhi chhota hai lekin abhi se tumhara baap hai.", Sanjiv ka andaaj kabile-gor tha aur Lohan har lafz ko dhyaan se sunn ne ke baad hairat se dekhne laga.
"Tum.. Tumhara chhota bhai Arjun Sharma hai matlab tum bhi Shankar ke bete ho? Yani Pandit ji ke paute?"
"Yaadasht bahot atchi hai tumhari aur haan wo mera bhai jisne tumhari patloon dur se he geeli kar di thi. Aur tum apne ka kitna bada turram khan samajhte ho jo 4 ghante me he pakad me aa gaye? Maar toh main tumhe vahi deta lekin aisa hai ke kuch sawal hai mere pas tumhare liye.", Sanjiv ne pushti kar di thi ki uski asliyat kya hai aur aisa wo tabhi karta tha jab insaan kareebi ho ya fir aise vyakti ko jeene ka adhikar he na ho.
"Arjun aur tum, dono he maare jaoge agar mujhe kuch bhi hua toh. Uska naam main pehle he bata chuka jisko batana jaruri tha."
"Aur wo badnaseeb bhi poore pariwar ke sath kal raat mara gaya. Kismat aisi he hai ya mehnat se itni buri banai hai? Aadmi bhejte ho toh unka accident ho jata hai, hamla karte ho toh khud ghayal ho jaate ho, jis par bharosa karte ho wahi duniya se chala jata hai... aakhir tum khud panauti ho ya aaspas sabhi manhoos log he hai tumhare? Ab gor se suno 4 sawaal aur unke badle me 4 sahi jawaab. Galati par jaan se nahi maarunga lekin tum bheek maangoge ki maut mil jaye.", Ab Rameshwar ji bhi idhar se uth kar thoda alag chale aaye. Lohan samajh nahi pa raha tha ke uske sath ho kya raha hai. Sanjiv ne usko bebas kar he diya tha.
"Tumne Shabnam ka sath Mohar Singh ke kehne par toh nahi diya tha kyonki tumhari najar me Mohar ki koyi ijjat nahi thi. Kiske kehne par tumne apne log bheje the Shabnam dwara batai vardat anjaam dene ke liye? Galat naam aur main bataunga ki tumhara pariwar bhi hai.", Sanjiv ne sawaal ke sath jo jikar kiya us se Lohan toh hairat me tha he Rameshwar ji bhi achambhe me padd gaye. Lohan ayyash apradhi tha jo giroh sargana tha. Uske biwi-bache the he nahi Pandit ji ki najar me ya kisi bhi vyakti ki.
"Jhooth jhooth hai ye.."
"Galat jawaab toh ab tumhare 3 bacho me se beech wala gaya. Beta hai na tumhara beech wala bacha? Badi beti fir choti beti aur beech me tumhara pyara beta."
"Nahi nahi.. unhe beech me laane ki jarurat nahi hai main sab jawaab dunga lekin mere pariwar tak nahi jaoge."
"Tum hamare pariwar ko khatam karne ke liye gunde bhejo jabki dada ji ke kitne ehsaan rahe hai lekin main aisa na karu. Ek waja do Lohan, bas ek wajah do aisa na karne ki? Sawaal wahi hai aur ab 5 sawaal honge.", Sanjiv ke chehre par aaya gussa bahot kuch bata raha tha. Baat farz ke sath sath pariwar ki thi aur in dono me he Sanjiv ne jiwan samarpit kiya tha.
"Shabnam sirf chehra dikhane ke liye bulai gayi thi. Aadmi maine Karam Singh ke kehne par bheje the kyonki wo chahta tha ki Shabnam ko bhi maar diya jaye lekin uski hatya alag dikhni chahiye.", Lohan ko jara bhi bhanak na thi ki is samay awaaj ke sath sath video bhi banai jaa rahi thi is tehkikaat ki. Chere par paseena chhalak aaya tha beshak yaha halki thandak thi.
"17 saal pehle mandir ke saamne humla tumne karwaya tha na Shankar chacha ke bete par? Aadmi samajhdar ho toh naam apne aap bata doge.", Itni purani ghatna par sawaal wo bhi Sanjiv ke mooh se sunn kar Rameshwar ji bhi pareshan hone lage the. Lekin iska sach unhone bhi jaan-na tha.
"Haan. Mera aadmi wahi mara gaya tha us ghatna ko anjaam dete hue. Sarang sahab ne us waqt ki sabse badi supari di thi mujhe, 10 lakh ki. Lekin 3 prayaas me bhi main asafal raha aur kisi aur jurm me jail pahuch gaya. Uske baad kabhi Sarang sahab se baat nahi hui.", Lohan ab is tafteesh me poora sath de raha tha. Uske pariwar ki salamat he jaise sabkuch thi aur apna anjaam wo jaise samajh chuka tha. Sarang Kumar ka naam sunn kar Rameshwar ji ke kandhe par Col sahab ne hath rakhte hue unhe shant rehne ka ishara diya.
"Toh wo nurse kaun thi jisne Narinder Sharma ke navjaat bete ko jehar diya tha?", Sanjiv jaise jajbati he hone laga tha kyonki kuch sawaal usko bhi pareshan kar rahe the.
"Main bilkul nahi jaanta aur jaisa lagta hai toh isme bhi Sarang Sahab ka hath hoga aur wo peeche saboot nahi chhodte. Main nahi jaanta us nurse ke baare me, apne pariwar ki saugandh.", Lohan ke aise bebasi waale chehre ko dekh kar Sanjiv ne gehri saans li aur khud ko shaant karne ki cheshta karne laga.
"Arjun Singh ke baare me kya jaante ho?", Ab Rameshwar ji ko bhi laga ke sawaal disha bhatak chuke hai aur Sanjiv ko ye parat nahi kholni chahiye. Lekin der ho chuki thi kyonki Lohan naam le chuka tha.
"Sarang sahab jawaab de sakte hai iska. Maine toh bas waha se 15 laash he uthai thi afsar lekin wo insaan chahta toh kisi ko bhi zinda na chhodta. Arjun Singh urf Ajju. Bemisaal aadmi tha wo jisko ek aurat ne aansuo ki aad me dhokhe se mara. Ek nihathe ne dhai darjan laashe 10 minute me bicha di thi aur unme aur bhi kayi naam judd jaate Sarang sahab samet he agar wo aurat Neelima aur Shalini naam le kar uske saamne na gidgidati. Bas uske baad un bhediyon ne koyi daya na dikhai us ghutno par gire yodha par. Main toh ek driver tha bas lekin us aurat ko bhool nahi sakta. Hatyara toh main bhi hu lekin mard ka hamesha samman kiya hai maine. Agar Sarang sahab tak na pahuch sako toh main thodi aur madad kar deta hu.", Lohan jaise mureed tha Ajju ka beshak ek apradhi tha par usko jaise wo ghatnakram shat-pratishat yaad tha. Ab Rameshwar ji uske kareeb aa chuke the.
"Ye Neelima wahi hai na jo xxxx shehar ke tehsildar ki beti thi?"
"Ji Pandit ji aur Sarang sahab ki eklauti bhanji bhi. Mujhe 4 ghante me dhoond liya toh isko 3-4 din me toh khoj he lenge. Waise kar aap bhi kuch nahi sakte Sarang sahab ke saamne.", Lohan ke kataaksh ka saaf matlab tha ki Sarang Kumar apne aap me he ek bada naam tha. Lekin yaha aaj Rameshar ji ka dimag sarak chuka tha apne ladle bete ka hatyakaand sunn kar.
"Balbir, tum baaki naam nahi le rahe ho. Aur iska matlab hai tum Sanjiv ki baat bhool gaye.", Itna sard kathan aur aankhon se nikalti ushma se Lohan bhi seham sa gaya tha.
"Zorawar, Bhawani, Chandarbhan, Karam Singh ke sath Avdhesh Mishra bhi shamil tha us sabme. Pandit ji, wo sabhi toh ab zinda nahi rahe aur inka kehna hai ki Avdhesh ji bhi maare gaye kal raat. Isliye ye naam nahi liye maine aur us aurat ko Sarang sahab apne sath he car me le gaye the lekin phir maine usko bhi kahi nahi dekha."
"Isko maar do Sanjiv aur iska pariwar bhi shayad iski asliyat se parichit nahi hai. Wo batana matt bhoolna.", Rameshwar ji uthne lage toh Lohan bifarta hua gidgidane he lag pada.
"Sach kehta hu Pandit ji ki main itna he janta hu. Mujhe beshak maar dijiye lekin mera pariwar sukoon se apni he alag duniya me hai, usko matt beech me laaye. Haan.. Ajju Singh ne us aurat ko kaaki keh kar pukara tha. 2 aur bhi jawan chehre the jo dur the lekin dono he jaise nayi suhagane thi. Ek patri ke sath wali diwar ke pare aur dusri aam ke junglaat se sab dekh rahi thi. Main nahi jaanta ke wo kaun thi. Mere pariwar ko baksh dijiye main hath joddta hu.", Rameshwar ji itna sunn kar shaant ho gaye the. Wo do nav-byahta unhe bhi maloom tha ke kaun thi lekin 'kaaki' ne uljha he diya.
"Nirmal Singh ji, Balbir ko uchit dekhrekh me dhyaan se rakhwaiye. Iski chikitsa ka prabandh bhi behtar ho ye jarur sunishchit kijiyega. Bete, hum aaj bhi apradh ko khatam karne me yakeen karte hai, apradhi ko nahi. Lekin ab tumhe sahi karavas bhogna hoga aur hum tumhare pariwar ki bhi uchit dekhbhal karenge.", Rameshwar ji ne ek bar fir apni dariyadili dikha di thi lekin Sanjiv abhi ashaant tha aur apne dada ji ke aise kehne par agla sawaal wo puch nahi sakta tha Lohan se.
"Pandit ji, is rehamdili ke badle ek baat aur batana chahta hu aapko.", 2 policewale abhi Lohan ko lene he aaye the aur hath khulte he usko dono taraf se pakad kar wahi ruk gaye.
"Batao aisi kya baat hai jo tum hume itne vishwas ke sath batana chahte ho?"
"Sushila Singh ki supari uthi hai 2 din pehle aur kaam karwane wala koyi unke he gaanv ka hai. Ho sake toh dekh lena shayad wo jo koyi bhi hai uske pas sabhi sawalo ka jawaab ho.", Ab Sanjiv ne ek lambi saans bhari aur apne dada ki taraf dekha.
"Tumne nahi li uski supari? Waise wo beti hai hamari toh usko hum kuch hone nahi denge Balbir."
"Behan mana hai maine bhi Sushila ko pandit ji. Bhawani jaisa bhi tha lekin mera khaas tha aur Sushila uske sath meri bhi badi behan rahi hai. Main pata he karwa raha tha lekin Shankar ne ye sab kar diya."
"Shankar se bach gaya ye atcha hua Balbir. Wo sawaal nahi karta aur hum jaan nahi lete. Dhanyawad is sehyog ke liye. Chalo Sanjiv, isko thik hone ke baad he pesh karna hai.", Pandit ji pehle he apne mitro aur paute ke sath nikal chale aur Lohan kadi suraksha me surakshit jagah pahucha diya gaya tha.
"Tum kehte ho ki Arjun bhi yaha tak pahuch gaya hai jaha tak Balbir ne jaankari di?", Pandit ji shaam ke dhundalke me ab ek taraf Sanjiv se guftgu kar rahe the aur Col sahab DIG ke sath.
"Ye Sushila ji wali jaankari nahi thi aur munna jaankari rakhta hai Arjun Singh wale ghatna ki lekin asli apradhi tak wo bhi nahi pahucha hai. Hum dono he mil kar kaam kar rahe the aur uska kehna hai aap bhi is maamle me sahayta kar sakte hai. Ab shayad wo aage khojbin na kare gharwalo ki wajah se lekin wo pata lagana chahta hai ki Arjun Singh ji ke sath asliyat me kya hua tha."
"Bete, mujhe bas is baat ka he darr tha kahi Arjun Ajju ko samajhne na nikal pade. Ye naam humne bhi kabhi jubaan par na aane dia kyonki is naam se humne ek naya beta paa liya tha. Balbir ki he kathni dekho, wo ek dushman ki sirf tareef he kar raha tha. Mujhe toh itna sab bhi maloom na chal paya tha ki kaise darindo ne ek saaf-dil insaan ko gher kar mara. Shaadi tak is maamle me koyi khojbin na karna bete aur Arjun ke sath main tumhari maujdgi me he araam se vichar karunga.", Rameshwar ji badi safaai se apni aankhon me aayi nami ko chhupa gaye. Aaj unke jakhm fir se hare ho gaye the aur wo kuch waqt apni dharampatni ka sath chahte the.
"Chalo bhai Satish ab ghar chalna chahiye. Kal Nirmal ke sath waise bhi golf ka karyakram toh hai he.", Unki baat par dono he idhar chale aaye aur Nirmal Singh ji ne bhi hath milate hue abhaar jataya aur ye apne ghar ke liye nikal chale. Sanjiv ka bhi antarman vyathit tha jaise aaj wo is mamle me bas kuch he duri par atak gaya tha lekin sach ye bhi tha ki Lohan ne khud sari jaankari di thi unhe. Ab intjaar tha toh Arjun ka jiske saamne unke dada ji shayad is rehasyamayi purush ka purn ullekh kare.

Halka andhkar hone par Sangwan ke farmhouse se Bhuppi, Mehul, Param aur bade Sangwan ji ja chuke the. Shankar ko bhi Narinder ne Bhuppi ke he ghar bhej diya tha jis se wo ab araam kar sake. Tarantaal me Narinder ke sath Umed ki alag he daud jaari thi. Aadha ghanta uchit gati se tairne ke baad dono he kinare aa ruke toh bahar baithe Daleep ne he sulagti ciggratte Umed ki taraf badhai.
"Marne ka irada hai kya Daleep bhai? Saans chadhi hui hai aur aap ye pila do. Raat haseen hone wali hai kal ki tarah, Rajesh ko bula lijiye aap tab tak hum dono bhi tayaari kar lete hai.", Daleep ke chehre par chamak aa gayi thi naya mission sunn kar.
"Aaj kaha dhava bolna hai?"
"Aaj dhava nahi bolna Daleep bhai, sendh lagani hai.", Ye baat Narinder ne kahi thi Umed ki jagah. Dono ke he balisht sharir bhigne par kahi jyada he aakarshak lag rahe the. Narinder aur Umed ne hamesha he sharir ko mehatava diya tha har jaruri cheej ke sath.
"Toh usme Rajesh ko kyu bulana? Sendh lagane ke liye toh main akela he bahot hu bas jagah aur aadmi batao.", Daleep ke aatmvishwas ko dekh kar Umed aur Inder muskurane lage.
"Rajesh ka sath chalna bahot jaruri hai bhai. Ye samajh lo ke waha sendh lagane wali chaabi Rajesh he hai aur baaki kaam hum teeno ne karna hai.", Narinder ki niyantrit baat sunn kar Daleep ne aashwasan me sar hila diya.
"Badlo bhai tum log kapde pehno aur itni he der me wo bhi aa jayega.", Daleep kash lagata hua building ke andar chala gaya aur peeche ye dono ek dusre ko dekhne lage.
"Toh tumhe ummeed hai ki Karam Singh ke ghar se humko jaankari milegi?", Umed ne ye sawal karne ke sath he bahar rakhi baniyan se khud ko saaf karna shuru kar dia. Sachmuch ek datiyakar insaan he tha Umed Singh aur sadhe 6 feet kad sirf lambai maatra nahi, jism bhi utna he bejod tha. Kam toh Narinder bhi nahi tha bas dikhne me wo ek tagda khoobsurat abhineta lagta tha.
"Ummeed nahi main yakeen se kehta hu ke Karam Singh ke ghar humko bahot se sawalo ke jawaab milne wale hai Gajju. Wo akela reh raha tha aur uski maa Damyanti bhi ab udhar nahi rehti. Mujhe lagta hai ke wo bilkul sahi jagah hai chhanbin ki."
"Aur Rajesh ka is sabse kya lena dena?"
"uski car ka lena dena hai bhai. Wo wahi khadi karenge jaha Karme ka katal hua tha. Daleep najar rakhega aur hum teeno uske ghar ki chhanbin karenge.", Narinder ne wahi apna geela kachha utarte hue apni baniyan se us khaas hisse ko sukhane ka upkram kiya aur aise he nirvastra ghaas par chalta kapdo ke pas aa gaya. Umed bhi samaan awastha me tha aur jald he dono patloon pehan kar hatho se he baal sukhane lage. Aaj shayad ye ek sahi thikane par sendh lagane chale the aur ye bhi ho sakta tha ki unhe aisa kuch mile jis se kadmo ke niche ki jameen hil jaaye. Ab bas raat haseen hone ka intjaar tha Rajesh ke aane ke sath sath.

Market me kharidi karne aur ghoomne firne me he raat ke 8 baj gaye the in teeno ko. Arjun ne dinner ke liye agli market jaane ka kaha toh dono he behno ne saaf inkaar kar diya. Aaj pehli bar in dono ladkiyon ne poore 50 hajaar ka samaan kharid liya tha aur Arjun ka purse abhi tak jyo ka tyo tha. Ye paise usko maa se mile the aur sath he daadi ke diye 200000 shesh the.
"Ye halka fulka khaane ke chakkar me Aarti ne meri toh jaan he nikaal di. Main toh dinner nai karne wali."
"Mera bhi haal aisa he hai hai Alka. Peit me jara si bhi jagah nahi hai aur araam ki talab kuch jyada he ho rahi hai. Maa ka samaan savere he sametenge.", Dono ki aisi halat dekh Arjun hansta hua unhe liye ghar wapis aa gaya. Sachmuch aaj Alka aur Aarti ne dil khol kar samaan kharida tha, sirf apne liye he nahi balki Ritu, Preeti, Komal ke sath sabhi behno ke liye. Romela ji ka bhi samaan ek alag gatte ke bakse me band karke wahi pichli seat par rakha tha. Car jaise he ghar ke saamne ruki toh Afsana aur Zubeidaa bhi scootry se aa pahuchi.
"Ye Afsu ke itni raat me aane ki wajah didi?", Car se nikalte he Aarti ne Zubeida didi se sawaal kiya jo sab bhula kar Arjun se gale lag kar mili.
"Kyu? Pehle bhi toh tumhare sath rahi hai na raat me. Aur ye janaab toh Eid ho gaye hai. Shehar me bhi hai lekin sehan me nahi.", Zubeidaa ki baat par Arjun kya jawab deta jabki usko khud atcha lag raha tha unse gale milna. Koyi 30 second tak wo waise he gale lage rahe.
"Abba intjaar me honge baji.", Afsana toh is waqt bhi salwar kameej ke sath mooh par dupatta liye the.
"Oh meri Benajir Bhutto, jisko dekhne aayi hai kam se kam apna toh istakbaal karwa de. Dhyaan rakhna iska tum sabhi, aajkal jara kaayde me nahi hai madam.", Zubeida ne bina kisi ki parwah ke Arjun ka gaal choomne ke baad aisa he Aarti aur Alka ke sath kiya aur wapis chali gayi. Afsana larajti hui Aarti ke sath andar chali gayi.
"Tum ruka jara yaha.", Alka ne Arjun ka hath thaam liya. Wo jaise is pal me Ritu he bann gayi thi.
"Kya hua didi.?", Besakhta Arjun ke mooh se bhi didi he nikla aur Alka thoda gambhir ho gayi.
"Ishq bahot kuch badal deta hai mere bhai aur aaj main 2 ghante Afsana ke ghar rahi hu. Ye tumse koyi alag he ishq kar baithi hai dhyaan rakhna."
"Matlab"?
"Isme aur Ritu me sie kisi ek ko ko chun na pade toh?"
"Kya vahiyaat sawaal hai. Saari duniya ek taraf aur Ritu ek taraf. Zindagi ka aakhiri saans bhi lu toh wo bas Ritu ke aagosh me. Aisa fir kabhi matt kehna."
"Maan liya. Preeti aur isme se?"
"Wo jaan hai meri. Aap hamesha mere sath ho Ritu ki tarah lekin sanvara toh mujhe aur Preeti ko aapne bhi hai. Ye sawaal jayaj nahi hai. Waise bhi maine abhi tak Afsana se baat nahi kari hai."
"Baat karna Arjun. Ye Ishq kuch khaas dikh raha hai aur agar bandishe todd gaya toh qayamat na ho jaye. Zubeida ki baat alag hai, wo tumhe pyaar karti hai aur uski koyi chahat nahi hai tumse. Afsana toh jaise ek paheli he hai, suljhane me he nahi aa rahi.", Alka ne baat khatam karte hue thande ki bottle, milk badaam aur thoda khaane peene ka saman car se nikala aur ghar ke andar chali aayi. Arjun sath he tha is pal me. Aaj wo pehli baar Alka ko khul kar nahi bata paya tha us asadharan shann ke baare me jo usko Afsana ko dekh kar hua tha. Ye romanch kahi kuch aur he na karwa de.
"yar Alka main toh thodi der araam karte hue tv dekhne lagi hu.", Aarti ab dheele vastro me thi aur Afsana ne pehli baar naqaab hataya tha is tarah gairo ki maujdgi me. Alka bhi un sunehari aankhon se sammohit si ho gai.
"Wow. Tum haseen ho yar. Ghar par bhi tumne naqaab liya hua tha din me."
"Waha hum mehfooj nahi the us waqt. Chacha ke sath unke bhi dost aaye hue the dopehri ke khaane par. Hume atcha nahi lagta koyi hume cheej samjhe aur paymaaish kare.", Afsana ki muskurahat toh sachmuch kamaal thi. kandhari anaar se surkh honth, wo nakkashidar chehra aur jism dhaka hua.
"yar tum na mera test le rahi ho. Mujhe tumse pyaar ho gaya toh please gaali matt dena.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Aarti bhi hans di. Arjun unke peeche se kamre me ja chuka tha apne.
"Myassar karna gar chehra dekh kar ho toh iltija hai, khwahishe ahduri aise he raha karti hai. Aapne sirf hamara chehra dekha aur ishq farmane ki hidayat kar di. Hum kabile-gor nahi hai chehre se niche.", Chhui-mui si Afsana aaj behtar bol rahi thi aur ye asar kuch Alka ka bhi tha. Alka thi he aisi jo kahi na kahi sabse tej yuvti thi is pariwar me.
"Dekho darling, abhi toh araam karne ka dil hai mera. Raat 11-12 tak tumhe jarur utha dungi apni neend poori karne ke baad.", Alka ne itna kaha aur wo Aarti ke kamre ki taraf badh chali. Arjun track pajama aur tshirt pehne ek bada cartoon samaan ka bhare darwaje se bahar nikal gaya. Aarti dekhti rahi aur waisi he najar Afsana ki thi. Arjun apni chachi ka bataya samaan car ki lambi dikki me sahi tarah se rakhne laga. Usne yahi thik samjha tha samay bachane ke hisab se.
"Yar agar tujhe bura na lage toh Arjun ke liye doodh garam kar dena. Main bas naha lu kyonki halki thakavat ho rahi hai phir araam se kamre me he baatein karenge.", Ab Aarti ke bhi hath khade ho gaye the. Savere 5 baje jaagne ke baad usne bhi araaam kaha kiya tha.
"Inhe doodh ki jarurat hogi toh hum dekh lenge. Waise Alka didi agar aapke bister par sone gayi hai toh hum kaha neend farmaye?"
"Agar dikkat na ho toh wahi aa jana mere kamre me. Priyanka didi ka bhi kamra khaali hai in case tumhe dikkat ho toh hum dono didi wale kamre me so jayenge.", Aarti bata he rahi thi aur Arjun wapis kamre ki aur chal diya. Wo jaise thaan chuka tha ki abhi sab samaan dikki me bhar dega.
"Let the kite go it's own way honey. Mushayre ke bahar toh humne sabhi shayar sharabi dekhe hai. Aap araam farmaye, hum Priyanka baaji ke kamre me he araam farma lenge.", Ab toh Aarti ka bhi maatha thanak gaya tha. Ye Arjun ka asar tha toh bhugatana usko he tha. Lekin wo kya he kehti is pyaari gudiya ko.
"Jaha dil kare waha mehfil laga lenge sanam tumhare sath.", Aarti ne bas itna he kaha aur khilkhilati hui Priyanka didi ke kamre wale bathroom me chali gayi. Alka bhi araam karne se pehle nahane he lagi thi aur Arjun apni chachi ka samaan gatte ke bakse me sahi se jama raha tha. Wo savere ke bharose kuch chhodne wala nahi tha aur waise bhi kal usko Jagtar bhai se dhero baatein karni thi.
"Aap jab kahiyega hum doodh garam kar denge.", Arjun inhi najro se bachne ke liye toh kaam me masroof tha lekin waah ri kismat. Pehle Afsana ke ghar se dur raha, phir usko bahar bhi niharne se bachta raha aur ghar me aate he wo samaan ke sath lag gaya. Afsana khud he chal uski taraf toh aane se rahi, yahi socha tha aur ye soch Afsana ne he badal di. Wo sunehari aankhein aur tambai baal uski najro ke saamne the. Jubaan jaise lakwa maar gayi aur aankhen sthirr. Afsana ki bhi dhadkan badhne lagi toh wo bina jawaab sune Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi. Darwaja band karke wo bister par baithi bas Arjun ke chehre ko yaad kar rahi thi. Har bar kyo dono he khamosh ho jaate hai ek dusre ko dekhne par?
"Oh madam ji, kaha khoyi ho? Waise sach kahu toh tumhe aaj pehli bar he din me dekha tha aur koyi itna khoobsurat bhi ho sakta hai iska andaja bilkul nahi tha.", Alka bathroom se bahar aayi toh bas ek ghutno tak ki dheeli nikkar aur jaangho tak lambai wali tshirt pehne thi. Andruni vastro ka abhaav nukile nipple saaf bata rahe the. Afsana ne bhi Alka ko dhyaan se dekha toh uski lambai, kamar se niche tak aate baal, badaami chehra aur sharir ke itne jabardast kataav se wo bhi prabhavit hue bina na reh saki. Uski badi behan bhi ek behtareen yuvti thi jiske sondarya ki paribhasha hajaro aankhen karti rahi lekin Alka bhi khaas thi.
"Aap hamari tareef kar he hai? Jo khud aafreen ho unke saamne toh hum kuch bhi nahi.", Jis tarah Afsana ke honth najakat se hilte the, Alka ko bada atcha lagta tha dekhna. Chehre par khushi aa gayi thi apne aap he.
"Aisi baat nahi hai Afsana. Jaisa suna thi ki tum naqaab ya burka pehne rehti ho hamesha toh mere dimaag me kuch aur he tasvir bann gayi thi. Aarti ne thoda bahot he bataya tha tumhare baare me aur kuch mujhe Priyanka didi ne bataya. Aaj tumhe saamne dekha toh wo sabhi khayaal gayab he ho gaye. Tum kisi Arab desh ki rajkumari si ho, bilkul gudiya si.", Alka goad me takiya liye bister par baith gayi. Ab Afsana ke chehre par halki laali aa chuki thi. Ye thode bahot badlaav usme kuch samay se aaye the aur Zubeidaa baaji ne he usko nikhara tha.
"Wo hum aaj bhi pehante hai baaji, aapne dopehari me dekha he tha. Bas jaha jaruri ho waha. Waise ammijaan hamari paidaish par Marrakesh-Safi thi, ye Morocco ka ek shehar hai aur hamare chashm (eyes) wahi ki saugaat hai.", Alka ne is jaankari par jaise he Afsana ka wo safed mom sa hath thama toh ek pal me he uske chehre par thodi bechaini si aa gayi.
"Yar ek toh main baaji-didi nahi hu, dost hu jaise Aarti hai. Aur tum khaas ho jo pehli najar me he pata lag jata hai. Itna darti kyu ho waise? Main ladki hu aur mere hath pakadne par tumhe ghabrahat nahi honi chahiye.", Alka ne ab apne dusra hath bhi Afsana ki hatheli ke upar rakh diya.
"Wo Zubeidaa baaji kehti hai ke is daur me kisi ka eitbaar nahi."
"Hahaha.. arre yar sachmuch tum masoom ho. Tumhari didi se aaj maine ek ghante se jyada baatein ki hai waha tumhare ghar. Unhe sabse jyada maja aata hai tumhe satane me aur tum unki kahi har baat ko sach maan leti ho. Wo bata rahi thi ki tum kitni majhab ki pakki ho aur college me hone ke bawjood abhi tak jyada duniya ki khabar nahi rakhti.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Afsana jhemp gayi lekin halki narajgi bhi thi mann me apni badi behan ke liye.
"Aur unhone aapse kya kaha hamare baare me?"
"Bata rahi thi ki tum kitni pyaari ladki ho. Lekin aaj ke jamane me tumhara yahi life-style pareshani paida kar sakta hai. Unhe iski tension rehti hai aur wo tumhe dhire dhire badalne ki koshish bhi kar rahi hai. Waise tum galat nahi ho Afsana bas ye life ghar ki char diwari se thodi bahar bhi hai. Suna hai pehle toh tum ghar se akeli bahar bhi nahi nikli yaha tak aane ke liye?", Ab Afsana ko jaise khud par he thodi sharmindgi hone lagi. Alka ka hath sehlana usko protsahit karne laga bolne ke liye.
"Hum khaufjada the aur abhi bhi hum akele bahar nahi nikalte. Ghar se bahar ek Aarti he hai jinke sath hamara kuch wajood hai."
"Darr? Agar chaho toh mujhse baat kar sakti ho aur baatein apne aap tak he rakhna jyada dukh deti hai. Darr insaan ko kamjor he banata hai dost. Haadse sabke sath hote hai, kisi ke sath chhote kisi ke sath bade lekin kya hum unhe yaad rakh kar ghutan me jinda rahe? Ye toh aur bhi dukhdayi hoga. Agar phir bhi tumhe lagta hai main galat keh rahi hu toh maaf kar dena. Mujhe shayad sahi andaja nahi hai ke tumne kya jhela hai."
"Humne kuch bhi nahi jhela hai. Bas kuch bure log ladkiyon ki asmat-aabru par he nigaah rakhte hai. Kya yahi insaaniyat hai bahar duniya me?", Afsana ke shabdo se he pata chalta tha ki wo kitni saral ladki hai aur uska darr har aadmi ke liye tha jo galat najar rakhta ho.
"Tum galat nahi keh rahi ho Afsana lekin har insaan bura nahi hota. Kuch chahat se dekhte hai aur kayi galat iraado se lekin kisi ki koyi majaal nahi jabtak ladki majboot rahe. Tumhe bas apni life aur khushiyan dekhni chahiye na ki aise log jo maayne nahi rakhte. Main bhi college jaati hu aur hum 7 behne hai waha ghar par. Dekhne wale dekhenge aur humko unse koyi matlab nahi. Waise tumne sirf aisa he dekha hai ya kuch bura bhi?", Ye Alka thi jo baal ki khaal nikal leti thi aur saamne wale ko pata bhi nahi chalta tha.
"Zubeidaa baaji ko ek baar kisi ne sataya tha. Hum school me the us waqt aur baaji college ke pehle saal me. Wo ladke galat iraade rakhte the aur baaji ne kabhi unhe najar bhi nahi kiya jaisa aap kehti hai. Phir bhi unhone unki asmat kharaab karni chahi, Narinder chacha ji na hote toh baaji ke sath kuch bhi ho sakta tha. Ab bataye ki agar baat is hadd tak chali jaaye toh kya hoga? Har baar toh koyi nek banda hifajat ke liye maujood nahi ho sakta."
"Toh humko he hifajat karni chahiye apni. Waise tumhare liye toh main bhi ek pal behak sakti hu.", Alka ne jo jaankari leni thi wo lene ke baad ab mahol badalne ki ye masti bhari baat keh di. Ek pal ke liye Afsana ka chehra he safed ho gaya.
"Tauba. Baaji sahi kehti hai ke jamane ke sath bahot kuch badal raha hai. Aap aise vichar rakhti hai hamare baare me?"
"Hahaha.. Kisi din tumhe pyaar ho gaya na sahi ladke se toh pakka tum uski baahon me he saans todd dogi. Yar ladki ho kar ek ladki se ghabra rahi ho tum. Hahaha.. majaak kar rahi hu aur dost masti bhi nahi karte kya aapas me?", Ab Afsana ke chehre par thodi sharam aur wahi gulabi rangat aa chuki thi.
"Hum ishq me yakeen nahi karte aur aisi baatein atchi nahi lagti.", Abhi wo aage kuch kehti us se pehle he darwaje par dastak hui. Alka khadi hone lagi toh Afsana ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Aapke bhai bhi ho sakte hai aur jaha tak hume lag raha hai aapne andruni kapde nahi pehne hai seene par. Ye chaadar le lijiye, hum kholte hai darwaja.", Alka ki hansi chhoot gayi itna sunn kar. Phir khud ko shaant karti hui wo Afsana ki baat samajh gayi. Sahi keh rahi thi kyonki Arjun ke sath Alka ke khaas rishtey ka usko pata bhi nahi hona chahiye.
"Shehjadi sahiba, doodh ubal kar bahar nikal gaya. Atchi baat hai ki samay rehte maine dekh liya nahi toh ho gaya tha aaj kaam.", Ye Aarti thi aur thik Alka jaise kapdo me bas abhi seene par bra pehni hui thi tshirt ke andar.
"Oh maaf karna, hum baaton me masroof ho gaye the Alka baaji ke sath. Aapne doodh de diya apne bhai ko?"
"Ubalta hua he de du kya? Waise darwaja band kyu tha yaha?", Aarti ko ab wo kaise batati ki Arjun ne bechain kar diya tha aur khud ko shaant karne wo is kamre me chali aayi thi.
"Aap baithiye idhar, hum bhi kapde badal kar aa jaate hai Priyanka baaji ke kamre se.", Aarti andar jaane ki jagah hansti hui Arjun ki taraf chal di aur Afsana ne Priyanka didi ke kamre ke andar jaate he darwaja band kar liya.
"Haan toh abhi tak kaam khatam nahi hua tumhara?", Arjun ab ye paanchva baksa bhar raha tha. Aarti ke andar aate he darwaja lagane par uska dhyaan taja nahai hui apni behan par gaya toh ek kashish se wo dekhta he raha.
"Iraade nek nahi hai lekin aaj kismat me shayad pyaar karna bhi nahi likha.", Arjun wapis kapdo ko attachi me aur kitabo ko bakse me bharne laga. Aarti dabe paanv uski taraf aati peeche se lipat gayi. Naram ubharo ka wo sparsh aur aise unka lipatna bata raha tha ki chahat Aarti ki bhi wahi hai.
"Raat ko Alka ke pas chale jana."
"Main yahi sone wala Aarti aur jab bhi aane ka dil ho toh yahi aa jana, savdhani se.", Arjun ne palat kar Aarti ko apni baahon me samet liya. Geele hontho par ek minute tak Arjun ke hontho ne bharpoor pyar jataya. Phir araam se dono he dur ho gaye.
"Mere aur didi ke kapde bhi maine bag me rakh liye hai. Jagah hogi itni car me?"
"Car ki dikki abhi bhi aadhi khali hai aur kuch samaan main andar bhi rakh lunga. 10 bajne wale hai toh ab aapko araam karna chahiye.", Arjun bhi jaanta tha ki Aarti aaj raat uske sath rehna chahti thi. Lekin Afsana ke aane ka bhi Arjun ko bura nahi laga tha. Agle 10 minute me wo dono bag aur bakse liye bahar chal diya. Hall paar karte he saamna Bholi begam se hua.
"Aaj raat main yahi sone wali hu. Aarti kaha hai?", Arjun chaah kar bhi sar pe hath na rakh saka. Bas iski he kami thi.
"Andar apne kamre me, tumhara he intjaar kar rahi hai wo.", Gurdeep ke maje lete hue Arjun ne usko andar jaane ko kaha aur hansta hu car ki taraf chal diya. Ye sab samaan aa chuka tha aur ab bas Aarti-Priyanka ke bag laa kar rakhne the. Dikki band karke wo wapis andar chala aaya toh Aarti ke kamre se aati awaajon ne bata diya tha ki Radio chalu ho chuka hai. Priyanka didi ke kamre ka band darwaja dhakelte hue wo andar aaya toh zero ki maddim roshni thi abhi.
'Ye kari hai packing inhone. Chain tak band nahi ki.', Arjun bedhyaani me bas in upar tak bhare bag ko band karne me laga tha aur bathroom ka darwaja khulne ki awaaj jaise sunaai he na padi. Afsana bhi wo bada toliya lapete apni he dhunn me bed tak chali aayi jaha uski poori aasteen ki tshirt aur pajama rakha tha, raat ko pehan ne ke liye. Ab toliya utaar kar bister par rakha toh saansein atak gayi. Bed ke dusri taraf bag me kapde dabata Arjun bhi sunn pad chuka tha neeli roshni me is jaanleva manjar ko dekhte he. Ujle rang ki poore cup wali naram bra aur waisi he rangat ki panty me uske saamne Afsana ka hahakari youvan tha. Afsana hosh me aati us se pehle he Arjun badi teji se kamre bahar nikal gaya. Spring wala darwaja wapis band ho gaya tha.
Afsana ki aankhon me paani aa chuka tha hosh me aate he. Jaise taise kapde pehan kar wo kuch der wahi bister par baithi rahi. Antarman maan he nahi raha tha ke aisa bhi kuch hua hai. Arjun ki aankhein us pal me bhi Afsana ka chehra he dekh rahi thi. Ye yaad aate he Afsana ko halka araam hua lekin dil yahi keh raha tha ke Arjun kya soch raha hoga uski is besharmi par aur ab wo kaise uska saamna karegi. Is haalat me toh aajtak Aarti ne bhi kabhi usko nahi dekha tha. Bujhe mann se wo ek baar aur apna chehra saaf karke Alka-Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi.
Gurdeep toh aadat anusaar patar patar kari ja rahi thi aur Alka ko bhi uski baatein sunn ne me maja aa raha tha. Uski bholi baatein, punjabi kisse aur chehre ke manmohak bhaav kisko pasand na aate. Gurdeep bebaki se Alka ki bagal me aa leti toh Aarti bhi khadi ho gayi.
"11 baj chuke hai madam, ab sona chahiye. Savere 6 baje tak uth gaye toh bhi atcha hai.", Yaha bhi Afsana khamosh he thi aur itne shor me kisi ka bhi dhyaan nahi gaya tha us par.
"Haan yar lekin main toh Alka ke pas soungi. Tu apni gulabo ke sath so, waise bhi wo har waqt sharmati rehti hai.", Gurdeep ki baat par Aarti bhi hansti hui dono ko be bol kar dusre kamre me chali aayi Afsana ke sath.
"Tum leit jao, main jara bahar darwaja dekh aati hu.", Aarti ke kehne par Afsana bister ke dusri taraf khamoshi se karwat ke bal leti gayi. Aankhen khuli thi aur mann vichlit. Ye tabtak shaant nahi hone wala tha jabtak wo Arjun se baat nahi kar leti.Afsana ke liye uski ijjat he jaise zindagi thi aur usko katai ye kabool na tha ke Arjun ke mann me uski koyi galat chhavi bane. Udhar Aarti ne bahar wale darwaje par andar se tala laga paya toh wo hall ke darwaje ko bhi chitakni lagati hui apne kamre me aa gayi. Ghar ki jyadatar roshni ab band ho chuki thi, bas zero ke bulb jagmag the.
"So gayi Afsa? Sorry yar, thakaan ki wajah se mujhe bhi neend aa rahi hai aur tere sath time nahi bita saki.", Cooler ki jyada awaaj na thi jis se Afsana ko sunai na diya ho lekin wo khamosh he rahi aur Aarti ne bhi patli chaadar apne upar audh li. 10 minute se pehle he wo gehri neend me ja chuki thi. Yahi haal barabar wale kamre ka tha jaha Alka Gurdeep ke sath bade araam se so rahi thi. Gaanv se shehar ka lamba safar, fir yaha tak ka safar aur shaam ko atchi bhaag-daud ke baad ab jara bhi himmat na bachi thi in dono me. Sadhe 11 ka waqt ho chala toh Afsana bade ehtiyaat se uth khadi hui. Rasoi me abhi tak doodh ka patila chulhe par tha aur jayaj garam bhi. Ek gilas nivaye doodh ka liye wo dhadakte dil aur kaampte kadmo se Arjun ke kamre tak chali aayi. Neend Arjun ki aankhon se bhi koso dur thi aur is sannatte me lamp ki roshni tale wo jaane kya padhne me vyast tha.
"Aapko doodh dena bhool gaye the.", Itna bhi jaane wo kitni himmat se keh paayi aur Arjun ne ek pal ke liye Afsana ko dekha aur hatho se gilas le kar wahi table par rakhte hue kaha.
"Sorry Afsana, mujhe bilkul bhi nahi pata tha ki udhar aap hongi. Main aapke liye koyi galat khayal nahi rakhta aur wo sab anjaane me ho gaya.", Afsana itna sunn kar jaise baraf si thandi padd gai. Pichle dedh ghante se wo bas yahi soch rahi thi ki usne ek bahot badi galti kar di hai jiska anjaam jaane kya hoga lekin yaha saamne se Arjun maafi maang raha tha. Afsana ko yu khamosh dekh Arjun ne pehli bar usko hath lagaya. Nivaye doodh ko pakadne se wo mom se mulayam hath bhi halke garam the.
"Dekhiye main jaanta hu ke aapko kitna bura lag raha hoga lekin sachmuch jo hua wo anjaane me hua. Aapko dukhi karne ka paap main bhool kar bhi nahi kar sakta lekin agar phir bhi aapko lagta hai wo sab maine jaanboojh kar kiya hai toh saja de sakti hai. Aainda main apna chehra bhi saamne nahi launga.", Arjun ne itna kehte hue hath chhoda toh Afsana ko laga jaise uski rooh he jism se juda ho gayi. Kis sammohan me thi wo ye khabar na thi lekin aaj wo Arjun se bhaagna nahi chahti thi.
"Aapki najro me humne kabhi galat iraade nahi dekhe Arjun. Hum yaha aapse maafi maangne aaye the jo hua uske liye. Hum behaya nahi hai jo andruni kapdo me jism-numaish kare. Ilm hota ki aap waha hai toh hum bahar he na nikalte.", Dheemi awaaj me apna dard bayaan karti Afsana ki sunehari aankhon se bhi dard chhalakne laga. Uski masoomiyat aur saafdili dekh Arjun ko ab jyada he bura lag raha tha. Aankhon me wo aansu jab dil ko dard dene lage toh Arjun ne khade ho kar Afsana ko seene se laga liya. Ye harkat wo kabhi nahi kar sakta tha aur Afsana bhi kabhi aisa kadam nahi leti. Lekin ye pal jaise apvaad tha dono ke liye. Afsana ke chehre ko apne seene se lagaaye wo bade pyar se uska sar thaame khada raha.
"Aap galat nahi ho sakti Afsana aur sach kahu toh main kabhi aapko thes nahi pahuchana chahta. Ye kismat kya khel khel rahi hai mujhe bilkul nahi pata. Main dur rehna chahta hu aapse kyonki jaanta hu aap ek behad shaleen aur saaf-dil masoom yuvti hai. Jo hua hai usko main thik toh nahi kar sakta lekin aapke aansu mujhe gunehgar bata rahe hai.", Arjun ke wo pakad bhi jaise jaanti thi ki aagosh me ek khaas yuvti hai. Bahupash ke jagah ye pakad sirf pyaar bhari thi. Afsana ke hath bhi Arjun ki peeth par the aur wo ab kuch sukoon me thi.
"Aap gunehgar ho bhi nahi sakte Arjun aur hume aapke didar se pareshani nahi hai. Bas darr hai ke aap hamare baare me galat khayaal na bana baithe.", Afsana ke dono hath ab Arjun ki bagal me the aur chehra seene par ek taraf rakhe wo niche dekh rahi thi. Arjun bhi ek sukoon se bhar chuka tha Afsana ko apne seene se lagaye. Jab aage koyi aur baat na hui toh Afsana ko dono ki haalat ka bhaan hua. Wo aaj pehli baar kisi gair ke gale lagi thi, wo bhi ek purush ke. Sharir halka kasamasaya toh Arjun ne he kadam peeche hata liye.
"Sorry. Aapki aankhon me aansu dekh kar pata nahi chala."
"Shukriya. Aur hume bura nahi laga.", Afsana ne najre jhukaye ye chhota sa jawaab diya aur jaane ke liye abhi mudi he thi ki Arjun ki baat sunn kar halchal mach gayi.
"Waise aap saafdil hone ke sath he hadd se jyada khoobsurat hai. Naqaab me raha kijiye, dekhne wale ki nazar bhi aisi khoobsurti ko maila kar sakti hai.", Arjun abhi bhi khada he tha aur Afsana ke palatne par phir se wo unhi aankhon ko dekhne laga jo itni der se jhuki hui thi.
"Aapke dekhne se hum maile nahi honge aur ab hume aapke saamne naqaab rakhne ki jarurat bhi nahi lagti. Neend farmaye, hum bhi jaate hai.", Is baar jaane se pehle Afsana ne jis taraf hath se salaam karte hue Arjun ko dekha tha wo gehra asar kar gaya. Afsana khud he uska darwaja band karti hui chali gai.
'Ab nahi aata kabhi punjab. Jis se bachna tha wahi raat ko saamne aa gai. Bhagwaan isko mat pyaar hone dena mujh jaise insaan se.', Arjun khud se itna bolta hua takiya dabaye bister par leit gaya. Ab bechaini nahi thi aur aankhen jald he band ho gayi. Raat ke kisi pehar wo mansal badan Arjun se lipta toh dheemi raftar se ek lamba sansarg shuru ho gaya is band kamre me.
.
.
"Ye sandook khol yar Gajju.", Gaanv ke is band pade ghar me bahar jitni khamoshi thi us se jyada chehal pehal is band kamre me thi. Torch ki roshni me Umed, Daleep ke sath Narinder har cheej ko bade dhyaan se jaanch raha tha. Yaha unhe kuch jaankari toh mili thi lekin wo utni bhi khaas nahi thi. Kone me rakha wo lohe ka bada sandook dekhna baaki tha. Umed ne pechkas se bina tala khole he sandook ka kabja nikal diya.
"Sala ye Karam Singh akela he rehta tha kya? Na biwi na bache aur baaki dono kamre toh aise khaali the jaise unki jarurat he na padi ho kabi. Chal tu dekh andar kya hai, main roshni deta hu.", Sandook ke dhakkan ko pakde Umed torch se roshni dikhane laga aur Narinder ne wo rajaai nikal kar ek taraf rakh di. Yaha ab bahot kuch tha us rajaai ko hatane ke baad. 2 purani album, kuch khatt, shwet-shyaam tasvire aur kuch asla jo purana tha.
"Bandook aur khanjar par hath mat lagana. Dekh hathhi par plastic bandha hua hai.", Umed ne jaise he chetaya toh Narinder ne rumaal se dono he cheej pakad kar charpai par rakh di. Ek lakdi ka baksa bhi tha jispar chhota sa tala laga tha. Aise bakse jyadar suhagane ya yuvtiya purane samay me saaj-sajja ka samaan rakhne ke liye prayog karti thi.
"Ye bahot he purana baksa hai be Gajju. Aisa ek tere bhi ghar tha aur meri maa ke pas bhi. Tala laga hai toh matlab ye kaam ki cheej hai."
"Haan toh nikal le na. Chal kar araam se dekhenge kaunsi sone ki bindi aur chaandi ki libstick hai isme. Wo tabeej bhi utha jo is kagaj ke niche hai."
"Ye kagaj nahi photo hai aur ye toh dhibri (mori) wala sikka hai dhaage me bandha.", Inder ne wo dono cheej uthane ke baad tabeej jeb me aur tasvir charpayi par rakh di. Itne me he Daleep ki awaaj par dhyaan gaya.
"Idhar dekho bhai kya mila. Ye is photo ke peeche tha aur bhi kaagaj hai is folder me.", Diwar par tangi us haar chadhi purani tasvir ke peeche se Daleep ko ek bada packet aur ye tasvir mili thi jisme 8 jawaan aadmi the. Ek ke chehre par gol ghera banaya gaya tha. Narinder sab kaam chhod kar us tasvir ko dekhne laga.
"Behanchod ye kya bawaal hai be Gajju? Dekhiyo jara ye papa aur Raghubir chacha he hai na?", Safed patloon aur kaali kameej he dikh rahi thi un dono ke sharir par, tasvir ke shwet-shyaam hone ki wajah se. Lekin un chehro ko pehchan pana mushkil tha kyonki sabhi 15 se 23-24 saal ke beech ke the.
"Haan be ye toh papa he hai aur ye Sombir tauji hai. Baaki kisi ko toh main nahi pehchanta. Lekin is ladke ke upar gola kyu mara hai jiske kandhe par chacha ka hath hai?"
"Photo daal bhai Daleep wapis packet me. Ye bahot kaam ki cheej hai aur iska yaha hona apne aap me hairani wali baat hai. 50 saal purani photo wo bhi is ghar me."
"Ye sab main jhole me daalta hu, Daleep bhai sandook ka kabja wapis daba do aur nikate hai yaha se.", Umed ke kehne ke sath he agle 5 minute me poora kamra pehle ki tarah vyavasthit ho chuka tha. 2 thaile samaan liye wo teeno he badi kushalta se is purane ghar se bahar nikal gaye. Dur kahi kutto ke rone ki awaaj ke siwa bas inke kadmo ki halki aahat he the is gehri raat me. Aage sunsaan kheto ke beech pagdandi se raste par chalte hue wo 10 minute baad sadak par pahuch gaye.
"Rajesh, kya raha?"
"Kya raha? Ye dekho sala meri car pe driver side ki taraf se ek aadmi goli maar kar gayab ho gaya aur tumhe awaaj tak sunai na di. Chakkar kya hai ye sab.? Pehle toh mujhe bhi samajh nahi aaya tha ke tum wo dummy sath kyu laaye lekin dekho uska bheja udaa diya kambakhto ne aur mujhe mauka bhi nahi mila unhe pakadne ka.", Rajesh ki halat dekh Narinder hans raha tha.
"Saale tum ho sahi nautanki. Kaha hai wo aadmi?", Ab is sawaal par Rajesh muskura diya.
"Dikki me hai harami. Batao goli chalane aaya tha toh chala ke bhaag jaye. Lekin nahi pehle darwaja khatkhatayenge, fir baat bhi karni hai. Kanpati pe ek hath pada toh moot nikal gaya lulli se uski. Baandh ke daal liya dikki me saale ko aur uski fatfati udhar fenk di jhaadiyon me. Chalo ab nikalte hai."
"Goli sachmuch chali thi kya?", Daleep ne chinta se kaha.
"Pagla gaye ho kya Daleep bhai. Ye car meri dilruba hai aur agar wo goli chalata toh maine gaand kaat deta uski. Ab is dummi ko bhi fenkna padega.", Car ki agli seat par plastic ka aadamkad murat bithaya hua tha inhone, kameej pehna kar.
"Abe fenkna matt, apne Daleep bhai ke kaam aayega. Dekh kaise motte chuche hai iske aur laane wale bhi Rajesh tum kamaal hai. Aadmi ka statue mangwaya lekin nahi londiya he pasand hai. Daleep bhai isme chhed kar lena, bhabhi toh ab naraaj hai lekin ye hamesha sath rahegi bina kuch kahe.", Narinder ne wo moorat pichli seat par beech me rakhi toh Daleep sachmuch uske seene par hath firane laga.
"Yaha pe thoda rubber lagwa do bhai toh main kaam chala lunga..", Daleep ki is baat par baaki teeno bhi thahaka laga gaye.
"Hahaha.. mast aadmi ho yar aap. Waise idea bura bhi nahi hai lekin isko aise he rakho main jab America jaunga toh aapke liye chudai wali gudiya leta aaunga. Uske gubbare daba daba kar pelna saali ko.", Rajesh ne car chalu karte hue kaha aur ye hanste hue baaton ke sath jaankari bhi sanjha karne lage. Andhere me gaadi wapis chal padi.
"Gaushala he chalte hai yar.", Narinder ki baat sunn kar Daleep ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Waha is waqt araam nahi kar sakte Inder aur neend liye bina mujhe chain nahi aata. Hotel he sahi rahega."
"Haan, hotel he chalte hai Daleep bhai. Roshni bhi hogi aur sakoon se sara kaam bhi kar lenge.", Rajesh ne bhi apna dimaag dikha diya jiski jarurat nahi thi.
"Oh kaath ke ullu, jo murga dikki main hai usko bhi hotel me rakhega kya?",Ye Umed na kaha toh ab kisi ne koyi sawaal na kiya. Car poori raftaar se gaushala ki aur badhne lagi. Aaj ek bahot badi sendh lagai thi in logo ne aur uske parniaam kya hone waale hai ye toh din nikalne par he pata chalna tha.

Gurdeep ki motti tarbooj si gaand Arjun se buri tarah chipki thi aur peeche se uska ek sudol stann dabate hue Arjun bhi kahi gehre lekin dheeme dhakko se uski tight choot ko apne lund ka abhyast kar raha tha. Paune 4 baje Gurdeep chupke se idhar chali aayi thi aur pichle aadhe ghante me khamosi se chalti ye chudaai ab apne charam par aane wali thi. 3 baar apna kaamras nikalne ke bawjood Gurdeep uska bharpoor sath de rahi thi. Lund se pach-pach ki ye halki awaaj dono ka he maja bakhaan karti rahi.
"ummm.. bas karo aahhh.. din me kiya tha tab bathroom jaane me bhi taklif ho rahi thi.. ufff.. ab toh lagta hai wo bhi mushkil hone wala hai.", Arjun uske maadak awaajo se aur tej dhakke lagane laga.
"Dhyaan rakhna tha na.. hhhhuuuuhh.. ab hone he wala hai.. bas..aahh.. sachmuch tumhara josh ummeed se jyada hai.."
"Ishhh... ho gayi main..aahh.. marr jaungi agar itni baar ye royegi toh.. aahhh... "
"Huhhhhh... lo..", Arjun ne lund choot se nikal kar gaand ke chhed par daba dia. Wo kora chhed naam-maatra he khula tha lekin poora lava usme bharne ke baad he Arjun alag hua.
"Chhhiii.. kar di na manmani.. aahh.. waha nahi lungi tumhara.. aahhh maa..", Dhimi awaaj karti wo bathroom chali gayi aur Arjun uske peeche.
"Ab aur nahi karna.", Nirvastra Gurdeep ke chehre par aseem khushi thi aur uski naa bhi jaisi saaf jhooth. Kharbuje se gol aur motti chuchiya laal padd chuki thi wahi gudadwaar se nikal kar moti sudol jaangho par behta Arjun ka veerya usko aur kaamuk dikha raha tha.
"Main nahane aaya hu darling kyonki sava 4 baj chuke hai. Saaf karo khud ko aur jaldi se wahi chali jao jaha se aayi thi.", Gurdeep ne samay ko gambhirta se liya aur apne sharir par paani udelti saaf karne lagi. Baal bheegne nahi diye aur poore 5 minute me he wo toliya lapete kamre me chali gayi. Arjun nityakriya se farig hone ke baad naha kar bahar aaya toh bister ab saaf tha. Toliya utha kar sharir sukhate hue wo kuch soch he raha tha ki alarm ki bahot halki awaaj sunai padi. Diwar ghadi bhi 5 baja rahi thi lekin itni jaldi kaun uthne laga tha? Arjun ki soch alarm ki awaaj band hone ke sath he khatam ho gayi.
Kapde pehan kar wo atche se tayaar hua aur seedha rasoi me chala aaya. Kisi ko jagane ka koyi irada na tha isliye khud he doodh garam karte hue hall ki light bhi jala di. Alka-Gurdeep jis kamre me thi uska darwaja khula tha aur dono he gehri neend me thi.
'Matlab Aarti ne alarm lagaya tha? Unhe kya jarurat hai itni jaldi uthne ki?', Arjun apne he khayalo me tha aur doodh ubal gaya.
'Ho gaya jyada garam.', Idhar udhar dekhne par jab kuch samajh nahi aaya toh kapde se he patila pakad kar hilate hue doodh thanda karne laga.
"Aap rehne dijiye, main kar deti hu.", Is khanakti awaaj ko sunn kar Arjun palta toh salwar-kameej pehne aur dupatte se seene ke sath sar ko dhake Afsana khadi thi. Nahane ke baad taja gulab si khili Afsana ka ye roop bhi jaanleva tha. Arjun ektak bas usko he dekhta raha.
"Khuli aankhon se khwaab dekhna galat nahi lekin hath me garam patili ke sath dekhna galat hai. Laaiye, hum karte hai aur aap baithak me jaaye.", Is baar Afsana ne ek taraf se kapde par hath rakha toh dono ki ungliya ek dusre ko chhuu gayi. Arjun ne aahista se patila Afsana ke hawale kiya lekin kareeb he khada raha. Saamne ki taraf bani chhoti si almari se Afsana ne jug nikal kar doodh ko faintna shuru kiya toh Arjun ko samajh aaya ki bartan kaha rakhe hote.
"Aapko kasht nahi dena chahta tha aur mujhe in drawers ka bhi pata nahi tha ki bartan yaha honge."
"Aap itni savere uth jaate hai iska ilm nahi tha. Hum pehle he kar dete agar khabar hoti. Saath me kya lenge?", Un gori kalaiyon me khoya Arjun ab kya jawaab deta. Thodi bahot bhi kalai dikh rahi thi toh wo bas isliye ki Afsana ko hatho ko hilana padd raha tha. Uske sabhi paridhan poori aasteen wale he dekhe the Arjun ne. Itne kareeb se wo geele baalo se aati sugandh bhi mahua ka asar karne lagi toh Arjun ne khud ko sambhala. Afsana ne sharmate hue doodh ka gilas Arjun ko thamaya aur bahar jaane lagi. Arjun ko toh ye pata he na chala tha kab doodh gilas me daal diya Afsana ne.
"Rukiye. Main bhi bahar he jaane wala hu toh aapko drop kar dunga."
"Hum khaali hath jaayenge kya? Motor chalane jaa rahe hai jis se paani ki kami na ho.", Arjun is jawaab se khud he jhemp gaya. Afsana kal raat jab aayi thi toh ek bag liye thi aur abhi bhi usne saaf kapde pehne the aur Aarti ke kapde Afsana ke aane wale nahi the. Muskurata hua wo doodh ki ghoont bharne laga. 10 minute baad he Afsana ek baar fir uske saamne thi, hath me bag liye.
"Arjun, tum itni subah kaha ja rahe ho?", Aarti bhi unindi si kamre se bahar chali aayi toh Arjun ko tayaar dekh pooch liya.
"Wo mujhe Jagtar bhaiya se kaam hai toh unhone sadhe 5 baje bola tha aane ke liye. Ghante bhar tak wapis aa jaunga. Nashte ke liye kuch lana hai?", Arjun ki nashte wali baat par Afsana ne ghoor kar Aarti ko dekha jo ab muskura rahi thi.
"Haan, chhole poodi le aana 3 plate. Gurughar ke pas he dukaan hai jo 6 baje he sab banane lagte hai."
"Aapko maloom hain na Aarti ammi ne khaas kaha tha ke aaj naasta hamare yaha hai aapka? 8 baje matlab 8 baje. Aur aap hume hamare ghar tak chhod sakte hai?", Afsana ke gusse ko dekh Aarti aur Arjun bas muskura rahe the.
"Chhodega kyu nahi. Tum kaho toh Arjun goad me le jayega. Hahahaha..", Ab Afsana ka gussa kafoor ho chuka tha aur chehre par sharam chha gayi.
"Chaliye main aapko ghar ke saamne utaar dunga. Aarti didi waise he majaak kar rahi thi.", Arjun ne bag lena chaha toh Afsana ne naa me gardan hilate hue usko apne sath laga liya.
"Aap chaliye hum aate hai.", Arjun car ki chaabi liye bahar chal diya.
"Aap jaanti hai na Aarti aisa majak nahi karna chahiye? Aapke bhai ke saamne he ye behuda baat karni thi?"
"Rehne de meri bholi gudiya, sab jaanti hu main. Tere gaal aise he gulabi nahi hue the aur abhi tu nikal, naaste par teri aisi khinchai karungi yaad rakhegi.", Aarti ke kathan me alag he josh tha aur sakuchati si Afsana uska hath pakde bahar chal di.
"Aap ye maskhari ammi ke saamne matt kariyega. Waise pehli baar hum aise jaa rahe hai, kuch galat toh nahi hain na?"
"Oh meri maa, ye mera bhai hai aur aunty ji isko jaanti hai bachpan se. Is mohalle me tujhe shayad he koyi jaanta ho jo tu itni parwah karti hai."
"Humko sabhi jaante hai ke hum Afsana Hussain hai.",Afsana ke bholepan par Aarti ko hansi aa gayi.
"Tere naam ko aur tere burke ko jaante honge lekin ye jo pari jaisi sundar ladki hai na isko yaha kisi ne nahi dekha. Ja wo tera intjaar kar raha hai. Mere bhai se thoda dur rehna, keh deti hu.", Aarti jaldi se darwaja band karti hui andar bhaag aayi.
"Aapko maar ki jarurat hai thodi.", Hansti hui Afsana ke motiyon se daant aur surkh gulabi adharo ko dekhta Arjun fir se dhyaan bhatakne laga. Darwaja band hone ki awaaj par usko hosh aaya lekin Afsana pichli seat par ja baithi thi.
"Driver wali feeling le rahi hai aap toh.", Arjun ne ye baat shishe me dekhte hue kahi aur Afsana ne dupatte ka ek seera chehre par kar liya.
"Hum aapki tauheen nahi kar rahe hai lekin sath baithna sawaal bann sakta hai. Aapko bura laga toh hum utar sakte hai.."
"Hahaha.. Matlab aap hain kya? Aisi chhoti chhoti baaton se bhala bura kisko lagta hai. Main apni didi aur maa ko bhi pichli seat par baitha kar he gaadi chalata hu. Aur atcha hai ki aap pichli seat par hai, nahi toh gaadi chalate hue dhyaan bhatakna khatarnaak ho sakta hai."
"Bas kijiye ab. Dekh abhi bhi aap idhar he rahe hai aur aisa karna galat hai.", Arjun ne ye baat turant maan li aur khamoshi se sadak par dhyaan dene laga. Shaant mahol aur park me sair karte hue gine chune log. Lekin ab Afsana ko ye khamoshi khatak rahi thi. Wo aaine me lagatar dekh rahi thi jaise Arjun se ab najar milegi. Ghar ke saamne car rukte he wo hosh me aayi. Bina kuch kahe wo seedha gate kholti hui andar chali gayi. Arjun ne bhi car ko Jagtar bhai ke ghar ke pas wale park ki taraf ghuma liya. Aaj bahot kuch jaankari leni thi unse gaanv aur waha ke logo ke baare me.

Update 143
Chugga (1)
Us bade park ke bahar he car sahi se lagate hue Arjun andar chala aaya. Jagtar samay ka paband insaan tha aur wo pehle he intjaar karta mila. Track pajama aur tshirt ke sath mehnge sports wale joote pehne wo abhi halka paseene me bheega Arjun ki taraf badh chala.
"Toh time nikal he liya tumne? Atcha kiya bhai, main bhi bas abhi running se free hua hu.", Dono ne hath milaye aur Jagtar vriksh ki chhaya me rakhe lohe ke bench par Arjun ke sath baith gaya.
"Aapko itna pareshan karne ke liye sorry bhaiya. Bas ye jaankari mere liye bahot jaruri hai. Aap 3 baje bhi bulate toh main us waqt bhi aa jata.", Arjun ke gambhir chehre ko dekh Jagtar halke se muskura diya. Saamne tehalte hue logo par ek najar daalte hue apni baat shuru ki.
"Jaisa tumne phone par bataya tha maine wo sab toh pata karwa liya hai bhai lekin uske sath he extra bhi pata laga hai. Samajh ye nahi aa raha ki ye sab tum mujhse behtar juta sakte the agar apne ghar ya waha gaanv me khud baat karte."
"Mumkin nahi hai bhaiya aur main kabhi pushtaini gaanv nahi gaya hu. Jaane ki ijajat bhi nahi milti aur ye naam main unke saamne le bhi nahi sakta. Khud he sochiye ki itihaas kaise puchu jab unhone khud he kuch na bataya ho?", Ab Arjun ki baat Jagtar ke samajh aa chuki thi.
"Sahi kehte ho yar tum. Waise maine bhi ye sab khud nahi kiya jaisa tumne sujhaya tha. Har jaankari alag alag source se jutaai aur kuch kaagaj jutaane me thodi jyada he dikkat aayi thi lekin table ke niche se wo bhi nikalwa he liye tehsil se. Meri car me rakhi hai wo file aur jo kagaj me nahi hai wo main ab tumhe khud bata deta hu.", Arjun ne ek najar us zen car ko dekha jo park ke us taraf Jagtar ke ghar ke saamne he khadi thi aur fir sar hila kar sehmati jata di.
"Swargiya Motilal Sharma ji yaani tumhare padd-dada ji diwan-e-khaas bhi the Raja sahab ke aur munshi bhi. Unke charitra par kabhi koyi daag nahi aaya poore jiwankal me lekin ek ghatna pata lagi hai ke unke bade bete yaani ki tumhare dada ji pehle fauj me the aur waha jarur kuch hua tha jis wajah se Raja sahab ne he unhe fauj se wapis bulwa liya tha Munshi ji ke aagrah par. Ek saal baad wo police me shamil ho gaye.", Arjun ye fauj wali baat nahi jaanta tha.
"Aapka source sateek hai na bhai?"
"100 pratishat Arjun. Kaam ki baat toh ye hai ki tumhare dusre dada ji bilkul alag charitra ke the aur jawani ke kuch saal unhone shaahi taqat ka poora raub dikhaya tha apne dosto ke sath mil kar. Ye baat unke aream me utni faili nahi thi kyonki idhar apne pita ke anushasan ka bhaye tha. Jis vyakti Sarang ka tumne jikar kiya tha wo bhi kuch samay tak Krishneshwar Sharma ka ajeej raha hai aur Sarang ki asliyat jaante ho?", Jagtar ke is sawaal par hairat me baitha Arjun naa me gardan hila gaya.
"Raja sahab ki teesri biwi ka sabse bada beta tha Kumar Sarang jo baad me Sarang Kumar ho gaya. Rajasthan ke ek shahi gharane se thi unki maa aur baad me rajpaat ko le kar kuch khincha-taani hone par Sarang apne nanihal chala gaya jaha ki saari vasiyat usko mil gayi thi. 18-19 saal pehle he wo aakhiri baar is raj-gharane me aaya tha, kuch kaam se aur phir kabhi uska jikar yaha nahi hua. Baaki details file me he hain, araam se padh lena."
"Ye Krishneshwar dada ji ke baare me toh maine aisa kuch kabhi nahi suna. Bauji toh batate hai wo bade he sadharan se aur mehanati vyakti hai."
"Bhai, shaadi ke baad atche atche mehanat karne lagte hai. Waise uski bhi ek wajah pata lagi hai ki unke baare me unki mata ji ko kuch khatka hua tha aur uske baad wo kabhi apni jameen se bahar nahi gaye. Ab andar ki baat nahi pata ki kya hua hoga kya nahi. Waise tum toh yar jara bhi rajwade wale nahi lagte, sharir asadharan hai lekin Diwan-e-khaas ke pariwar ka ladka aur koyi tadak-bhadak nahi?", Jagtar bas taang kheench raha tha Arjun ki lekin Arjun ne saralta se jawaab diya.
"Mere dada ji ne saari zindagi police ki naukri ki hai bhaiya aur wo bhi ek behtar pehchaan banate hue. Mera papa sarkari doctor hai aur unki apni pehchan hai. Jab unhone he kabhi jikar nahi kiya ya wo pehchaan nahi dikhai toh main toh phir bhi unki teesri peedhi hu. Waise bhi mujhe toh hamesha jarurat se jyada he milta raha hai isliye santusht hu."
"Yar tum toh sachmuch he gambhir insaan ho. Waise tumhare chhote dada ka beta bada harami aur ayyash aadmi hai, agar tum nahi jaante toh bata deta hu. Vinod Sharma bataya tha na tumne?"
"Haan wo 3 bhai behno me sabse chhote hai lekin unhe bhi maine ek he baar dekha hai takriban 10 saal pehle. Unki kya jaankari mili hai?"
"Hotel Blue aur Country Farm ka maalik hai ye Vinod Sharma, takriban 36-37 saal ka hai. Shaadi ke 5 saal baad abhi kuch mahine pehle he baap bana hai. Juari bhi hai aur randibaji bhi karta hai. Bura matt maan na bhai lekin wahi bol raha hu jo sach hai.", Ek pal ke liye Jagtar ruka toh Arjun ne aage bolne ka ishara diya.
"Chinta matt kijiye, mujhe bas sab jaankari leni hai. Aur bataye unke sath sath dono badi behno ke baare me."
"Haan wo jameen ka vyapaar apne bade jija ke sath karta hai, ye agle he shehar me jaha se gaanv bhi kuch 20 kilometer he hoga. Jija ka naam sahi se nahi pata kuch PP Sharma karke hai aur Roshni Sharma jo, Vinod Sharma ki badi behan hai wo pehle toh sarkari teacher thi lekin ab kuch nahi karti. Vinod Sharma ki dusri behan ka pati Country Farm me sanjhedar hai. Raman Sharma naam hai uska aur biwi Damini ek housewife hai. Ye sab jaankari tumhe araam se apne ghar se he mil jaati kisi na kisi se. Lekin inka charitra shayad waha bhi batane wala koyi na hoga. PP Sharma gaagh vyakti hai aur ye Raman thoda dabbu kism ka. ", Arjun bade gor se apne he pariwar ke un sadasyo ki jaankari le raha tha jo unke yaha kabhi aate jaate nahi the.
"Sahi kehte ho ki inke baare me khaas baatein mujhe waha bhi pata nahi chalti.", Ab dono he uth kar park ke kinare kinare bani patri par chalte hue baatein karne lage. Paune 7 bajte he Arjun ne jaane ki ijajat li aur file ko car ke dasboard me sambhal kar rakhte hue wo waha se wapis nikal chala. Aaj usko bahot kuch pata chala tha aur Jagtar ne sachmuch bahot bada kaam kar dikhaya tha Arjun ke liye. Aisi gupt jaankariyan nikalna saral toh katai nahi tha lekin Jagtar ne ek khaas dost aur chhota bhai maante hue Arjun ke liye wo sab kiya. Badle me Arjun ne bhi aisa he kuch khaas kaam Jagtar ke liye kiya tha jo Jagtar ki zindagi sanvarne wala tha. Aise he dono ke beech ek majboot dosti ki neev shuru ho chuki thi.
.
.
"Ye tamancha khaas hai aur kaafi purana bhi. Jitna main samajh raha hu ye aise he kisi ke pas nahi ho sakta aur upar se ye is par ki gayi ye nakkashi batati hai ki iska sahi maalik toh koyi rutbe wala vyakti he hoga. Fingerprint toh utarwa liye hai aur nali ki jaanch report thodi der tak yahi aa jayegi.", Sangwan ji ke sath sirf Inder aur Umed he the is bade kaksh me subah ke 7 baje. Yaha aaye unhe 2 ghante ho chuke the aur is beech kuch khaas logo se bahot si baatein ho chuki thi.
"Ye khanjar bhi waisa sa he hai chacha ji. Iske baare me kya vichar hai aapke?", Narinder ne wo 8-9 inch lambe phal wala khanjar plastic sudha Sangwan ji ki taraf badhaya toh unhone gardan haan me hila di.
"Ispe jehar laga hua tha, jaisa lab-assistant ne bataya. Finger print iske bhi aa jayenge lekin dekhne wali baat ye hai ki itne khaas aur beshkimati hathiyaar aise kyu sahej kar rakhe gaye the. Rivolver german hai 1949 me bani aur ye khanjar bejod hai, kisi hunarmand vyakti ki kalakari ka khaas namuna. Waise ye dhibhri wala sikka jo hai aisa he kuch is ladke ke gale me bhi hai.", Sangwan ji ne tasvir ko lens ke niche karte hue dono ko dikhaya toh Umed ab gehri soch me padd gaya.
"Bas report aa jaye chacha ji, phir hum pata lagane ki koshish karte hai ki ye mudda kya hai.", Umed aur Narinder ne bahot kuch chhipa liya tha Sangwan ji se. Wo yaha bas in hathiyaro aur tasvir ke sath aaye the. Dhaage me bandha sikka khud Narinder ne jeb se nikal kar unhe dikhaya tha.
"Agar kuch jaruri kaam hai toh tum log wo kar sakte ho. Ye dono cheej sath le jao main report jaanch kar khud tumhe jaankari de dunga."
"Thik baat hai chacha ji. Waise bhi ab mujhe ghar jana hoga aur Umed ko bhi hajri lagaye aaj teesra din hone wala hai. Araam se baat karte hai is maamle me aur ho sake toh Shankar ya papa tak baat na jaaye.", Narinder ke aagrah ko unhone bhi swikaar kar liya. Dono log samaan us chhote se thaile me daal kar bahar nikal chale. Abhi jaise unke mann me bahot kuch chal raha tha. Lift se niche aate he Umed bina car chalu kiye aankhen band karke gehri saans lene laga.
"Inder ye maamla kahi galat disha me na chala jaaye bhai.", Chehre par daadhi kuch jyada he badh gayi thi Umed ke aur Narinder ke bhi saaf chehre par maheen baal bata rahe the ki 3-4 din se uska bhi dhyaan kahi aur nahi gaya hai.
"Ab jo hoga dekha jayega yar lekin kaam poora karke he rukna hai is baar toh. Waise jaan kar ajeeb nahi laga ki Chandarbhan aur Karam Singh judwa the? Shakal toh milti nahi thi saalo ki aur ye goad bhi gaya toh apne mama ke. Damyanti agar zinda hai toh usko dhoondna jaruri hai Gajju aur ab pakadna hoga Laajo kaaki ko. Chhinaal sagi behan hai wo Damyanti ki aur Ishwar kaka ke sath dusra byaah tha uska.", Narinder ke sawaal sunn kar Umed ne aankhen kholi aur ek ghoont paani se garare karte hue bahar fenk diya.
"Chandarbhan us tasvir me Munni ko he pel raha tha na? Aur Laajo kaaki ko bhi. Behanchod ho kya raha hai ye. Ab Bhole ke saamne ye tasvir gayi toh wo bangdu Munni ko toh maarega he khud ko bhi kuch kar baithega. Chandar sala sagi mausi aur behan ko he chod raha tha aur ye tasvir kisne nikale honge?"
"Lagta hai ye kuch bada he jhol hai Gajju. Madhulata se puchtach karne par jawaab hoga ki chandar usko blackmail kar raha tha kyonki Laajo ko dekh kar toh yahi lagta hai ke wo ye sab maje me kar rahi hai toh pata Madhulata ko bhi hoga. Phir wo kameeni yahi baat Shankar ko batayegi aur mahadev kaha phir kisi ki sunenge. Madhulata ko agwa kar sakte hai kya?", Narinder ne jis tarah se ye sawaal kiya tha Umed sakpaka gaya.
"Bawli-tared ho gaya kya bhai tu? Chandro taai ki haveli me ab kuch nahi karna aur agwa he karna hai toh shaadi ke baad dekhte hai. Lekin uske baad toh usko jaan se maarna padega be. Na na aisa kuch nahi karna. Yaha Arjun ko shamil kar kyonki wahi haveli me Munni ki khabar le sakta hai. Ab jara us folder me mile jameen ke kaagaz par aaja. Kumar Sarang ne jameen ke badle jameen di thi. Matlab ki Damyanti ka uske sath alag sambandh tha."
"Rakhail bhi keh sakte hai aur ye jameen wala mamla dhyaan bhatkane wala bhi. Us kaagaj ke hisab se Damyanti yaha jab aayi toh ye bache ho chuke the aur wo vidhwa thi. Laajo kaaki ka pehla pati jo Ishwar kaka ka bada bhai tha wo udhar Punjab se isko byaah kar laya tha. Dusre saal me maut hui aur chhote bhai Ishwar Singh ke sath Laajo ka dusra byaah kar diya gaya. Kuch missing hai yar aur agar wo kadi mil jaaye toh ye sulajh sakti hai.", Narinder ka bhi sar chakrane laga tha ye mayajal samajhte samajhte aur baat ghoom-fir kar wahi atak rahi thi.
"Dusri tarah se soch jara. Bindu aur Munni ka byaah ek he khaandan me hua wo bhi eksath. Waha aakhiri baar Damyanti najar aayi thi aur Sarang bhi maujud tha, tu aur Shankar nadarad the. Ye mujhe bhi Ajju ne he bataya tha jo phere bhi dekh kar aaya tha isliye yaad hai mujhe. Ab Ajju jaha maara gaya waha Shillu ne aurat dekhi thi aur Shillu ko mara Chandar ne. Ajju ke sharir par vaar karna itna asaan kaam nahi tha aur 10-12 laashe jab gira di ho toh bilkul bhi kisi me himmat nahi hogi aise insaan ke kareeb jaane ki.", Yaha ye dono he Lohan ke varnan se anjaan the. Par Narinder bhi Umed ki tarah he sochne laga.
"Tu kehna kya chahta hai Gajju? Tujhe lagta hai ke uski maut me Damyanti ka haath hai?"
"Wo khanjar se jab nishaan utaare gaye the toh mera dil ke raha tha aisi nakkashi wali cheej kisi rutbe wali aurat ke he pas ho sakti hai, aatmraksha ke liye. Ajju kabhi aurat par hath nahi utha sakta tha aur is baat ko harek insaan jaanta tha ki uske liye har aurat ijjat-balidan ka roop hai. Aisa mera dil keh raha hai bhai ki ho sakta hai us khanjar se he Ajju ko jakhmi kiya gaya ho.", Umed ka mann bechain ho chala tha itni baar apne bhai ko yaad karte hue. Kuch aisa he haal Narinder ka bhi tha.
"Chal yaha se chalte hai Gajju. Hum dono ko he araam ki sakht jarurat hai filhal. Daleep us ladke se jaankari lene ke baad bata he dega aur us makeup box ko araam se dekhenge.", Umed ko bhi ye baat thik lagi. Car ab Pandit ji ke ghar ki taraf chal padi, Narinder ko utarne ke liye.
.

Arjun pichle aadhe ghante se phone par he laga tha aur dono behne Resham Singh ji ke ghar gayi hui thi. Ghar aate he ye fainsla hua tha ki nashte ke baad wo sabhi ghar wapis niklenge. Aarti-Alka ke jaate he Arjun ne phone ghuma diya tha. Ek number par takriban 10 minute tak baat karne ke baad ab wo Sanjiv bhaiya se guftgu karne laga. Is taraf se jaise Arjun he bol raha tha aur dusri taraf Sanjiv araam se jaankari leta raha. Ghadi me paune 8 ka waqt dekhte he Arjun ne kuch bol kar phone rakha aur ghar ko durust karne jutt gaya.
Bahar se mukhya supply band karne ke baad sabhi taale lagaye aur mukhya dwar par bada tala bhi latka diya. Pados wale ghar ki ghanti baja kar wo intjaar he kar raha tha aur Gurdeep ko sath liye dono behne bahar chali aayi.
"Humko nikalna hoga 10 baje se pehle.", Arjun ke sankshipt se swar par Aarti ne ek nigha ghar par daali aur Gurdeep se gale mil kar car ki taraf chali aayi. Alka bhi hans kar Gurdeep se mili aur sab ko car me baithne ke baad jaate dekhti rahi. Ricki pehli manjil ki chhatt par khada bade dhyaan se sab dekh raha tha jab tak Alka car me na baith gayi.
"Poora ghanta laga diya aap logo ne toh Gurdeep ke yaha.", Arjun ne ye baat aise he kahi thi lekin Aarti hansne lagi.
"Aunty ji aane he nahi de rahi thi. Waise baaki cards maine uncle ko de diye hai jo wo aaj he pahucha denge.", Aarti ki baat sunn kar Arjun ne aage koyi sawaal na kiya. Kuch he der me unki car ab Hussain sahab ke ghar ke bahar khadi thi. Arjun ne card aur mithai ka dibba nikalne ke baad atche se gaadi ko lock kiya aur dono behno ke sath unke gate ke saamne aa khada hua. Ghanti ki awaaj sunte he ye raubdar shaksh sehan ka darwaja khol kar is taraf chale aaye. Takriban 6 feet lambai aur fakk safed kurta pajama pehne hue ye adhed umar ke vyakti ki rangat bhi gulabi thi.
"Namastey uncle ji. Shukar hai aaj toh aap ghar pe he hai.", Unke chehre par bhi bacho ko dekh khushi chhayi thi. Aarti ke sar par hath rakh kar aashirwad dene ke baad unhone Alka ko bhi sneh se andar aamantrit kiya. Arjun ne charan sparsh karne chaahe toh inhone uski baah thaam li.
"Beta, itna bhi bujurg matt karo aur aapse paanv padva kar dojakh me jana hai kya. Masha-allaah, Shankar-Narinder bhai se bhi 21 ho beta. Allah tumhe lambi umar aur shohrat de. Aao, isko apna he ghar samjho.", Arjun ke sath unka andaaj bharpoor samman aur pyaar wala tha. Arjun sadhe kadmo se unke sath bheetar chala aaya jaha baithak me 2 aur log baithe the, inki he umar ke takriban.
"Bilal bhai, aap hai Arjun Sharma apne Shankar bhai ke bete aur Arjun beta ye hamare chhote bhai hai. Janaab Mushtaq sahab hamare saale hai aur sath he vyapar dekhte hai.", Unhone Arjun ka parichaya karwaha toh nimantran partra aur mithai Hussain sahab ko dete hue Arjun ne dono ko he hath jodd kar namaskar kiya. Mushtaq Afsana Zubeida ke mama aur Bilal chacha the. Bilal ne khushi jahir ki wahi Mushtaq ke chehre par sirf aupcharikta dikhi. Arjun wahi ek sofe par baith gaya lekin thoda bechain tha in sabhi anjaan vyaktiyo me.
"Shankar bhai se hum 3 saal pehle mile the aur aaj tumhe pehli baar dekh rahe hai beta. Kad-kaathi toh pathaan jaisi hai bilkul. Kaam-dhanda karte ho ya sirf pehalwani.", Ye Bilal ne poocha tha aur andar se chehra dhake ye mahila tray me sharbat liye khamoshi se aayi aur table par tray rakh kar waise he chali gayi.
"Ji filhal toh padhai karta hu aur thoda bahot boxing ke sath kasrat bhi. 18 ki umar hai toh business jaisa mumkin nahi kuch.", Arjun ke saral jawaab se Hussain sahab ne sar hilate hue haan kaha jaise unhe Arjun ki jaankari ho.
"Bhai jaan, aisa ladka waha Lucknow me hota toh apni bitiya ka nikaah ek pal me karwa deta. Janaab toh abhi padhne likhne wale hai aur Shankar bhai doctor hai toh waisa he kuch ye bhi banenge. Atcha laga tumhe dekh kar.", Bilal ne apni baat khatam karte hue sharbat ka ek gilas Arjun ko thamaya aur ek apne bade bhai sahab ko. Mushtaq pehle he gilas utha kar pee raha tha.
"Ham-Zulf (jija) sahab, Taarik ke liye aap baat chalaye jara un ladki ke pariwar se jo abhi bheetar gayi thi inke aane se pehle? Apni he kaum ki lagi humko toh aur aftaab hai.", Ye Mushtaq ne jo bhi kaha tha wo Alka ke liye kaha tha aur Arjun ke kuch kehne se pehle he Hussain sahab naraaj ho gaye.
"Mushtaq, humne ye bahot baar kaha hai ke insaan ki kadar karna seekho aur pehle pehchaan karna bhi. Bitiya inki badi behan hai, gar yahi baat Narinder bhai ke saamne jubaan se nikli hoti toh jubaan jameen par halaal milti. Bilal inhe bahir le chalo, hum apna purse aur samaan liye aate hai. Begam ke walad sahab ne nikamma yaha bhej diya aur Hasnat jaise heere ko apne pas rakh liya.", Hussain sahab ke gusse me bhi ek alag he andaaj tha. Awaaj buland kiye bina he wo Mushtaq ko tagdi jhaad laga gaye the. Arjun unke jaane ke baad Mushtaq ko gor se dekhne laga toh jhempte hue wo bol he utha.
"Maaf karna hume maloom nahi tha ke wo aapki bahin hai."
"Maafi najro me hoti hai uncle, yaha sirf majboori dikh rahi hai.", Arjun bhi sofe se khada ho kar jaane he laga tha aur peeche se aate Hussain sahab ne kandhe par hath rakh diya.
"Beta, narajgi jaane do aur aap andar sabke sath baith kar nashta farmao. Hamare saale ki kahi baat ka humko dukh hai lekin aap is baat ko tavajjo mat de.", Arjun pal me he thanda ho gaya tha.
"Nahi uncle main gussa nahi hu aur aapne toh mere saamne he unhe daant diya jis par unhe bhi bura laga hoga. Galti ho jaati hai anjaane me."
"Kaam se jana nahi hota toh jarur sath he nashta farmate. Aapke ghar he milenge shaadi ki davat par. Shankar bhai aur Pandit ji ko hamara salaam dena.", Jaate hue Hussain sahab ne ek bar Arjun ko gale se lagaya aur dua dete hue bahar apni gaadi me baith kar nikal gaye. Unke jaate he baithak me Zubeidaa aa khadi hui.
"Tum toh yar bade khatarnak insaan ho. Hamare he ghar me hamare maamu ko he dapat diya? Maja aaya waise.", Hansti hui ye gadrai aadhunika bhi kamaal he thi. Poore ghar me jaise ek yahi thi jo befikar rehti thi. Yaha bhi wo Arjun ka hath pakadte hue khilkhila rahi thi. Gore bhare bhare gaal aur bina laali ke bhi surkh hontho wali muskaan se Arjun bhi muskurane laga.
"Kaisi hai aap?"
"Tumhare saamne he hu aur ab andar chalo, ammi raah dekh rahi hai ke kab chaand nikle aur kab nashta naseeb ho.", Zubeidaa ki aisi bindaas baatein sunn kar Arjun bhi sharma raha tha. Aur wo aise he hath pakde is andar wale hall me chali aayi. Ye mahila thodi hairani se Zubeida ko dekh rahi thi lekin aunty ji ne bade pyaar se Arjun ko swagat karte hue apne kareeb he diwan par baitha liya.
"Shukar hai tum milne aaye yaha. Humne toh socha tha kahi pichli bar is Zubeidaa ki wajah se naraaj na ho gaye ho.", Unki aisi baaton par Arjun jaha khush hua wahi Zubeidaa mooh bichka kar nakhra dikhane lagi. Aaj Zubeidaa bhi salwar kameej me he thi lekin dupatta nadarad hone se sharir ka har ubhaar qayamat najar kara raha tha.
"Main ab kis baat se naraaj hota hai aunty ji? Didi bahot atchi hai aur pichli baar inse mil kar bada atcha laga tha. Is baar aap hamare ghar aane wali hai wo bhi har function attend karna padega.", Arjun ko in aunty ka dulaar bhi atcha laga tha. Ek maryadit pariwar jaha pabandiyo ka dhakosala tak na tha. Soch bhi sabse mil jul kar rehne wali.
"Hum toh jarur aayenge bas ye Zubeidaa he aise shaadi-byaah ke mahol se dur rehti hai. Afsa ke abbu toh bahot khush the jab khud Afsa ne unhe bataya ki wo 7 din pehle he apni saheliyo ke sath tumhare yaha jaane wali hai. Krishna behan ke sath tumhari ammi bhi waha hongi toh hume bhi pareshani nahi. Bache aaj duniya dekhenge tabhi toh kal apne fainsle lene layak honge."
"Ammi, main toh jarur jaa rahi hu, phir aap chahe ghutne ka bahana karke ruk jana. Aur mehmaan ko nashta parosna padta hai, baaton se inki bhookh kaha mitegi?", Zubeidaa ke tanj par aunty bhi muskurane lagi. Zubeidaa apni ammi ke khade hote he Arjun ke bagal aa baithi.
"Mister, tum na bade he chaploos kism ke insaan ho jo hamari ammi ke khaas bane ja rahe ho. Waise ye jo hume taad rahi hai na ye hamari maami hai, Rukhsar begam.", Zubeidaa ne toh mooh par he us mahila ki firki le li thi. Jhempti hui Rukhsar begam bhi apni Nanad ke piche rasoi me chal di. Jaate he unke mooh se besakhta nikal gaya.
"Aapne dekha nahi kya kaise apni Zubi gair-mard ka haath thaame be-hayaai kar rahi hai? Aap ammi hai unki, tokna toh banta hai ke kam-as-kam seene par dupatta he lele. Ladka gar pasand hai toh rishta chalaye ya biradari me baat toh kahe, aise he khule-aam toh galat ha na baaji.", Rukhsar ki awaaj dheemi thi aur Zubeidaa ki ammi bas hanse ja rahi thi.
"Tum jaanti bhi ho wo hamare bete jaisa hai Rukhsar aur bache atcha bura samajhte hai. Behan-bhai ke beech biradari kaha aate hai? Chana-paneer garam karo, hum sevaniyaa dekhte hai. Afsana ke kamre me pehle teeno bachiyon ka nashta lagwao, Arjun unke baad he khayega jaisa Alka ne kaha.", Rukhsar toh bechari ab aage bol bhi na saki. Wahi bahar Zubeidaa aaj alag andaaj me he thi, chitrakaar wale roop se bilkul alag.
"Toh aaj break liya hai aapne painting se?", Arjun badi tehjeeb se baitha tha beshak Zubeida uske sath araam se baatein kar rahi thi.
"Mood na ho toh hum bister se nahi uthte phir painting ke liye toh mahol, araam aur dimag shaant hona chahiye. Waise he abbu ke aane ke baad mahol nahi milta."
"Uncle toh bade sahi lage mujhe, wo toh support he karte honge aapko.", Arjun ki najar kaan me pehni un chamakti baaliyon se hoti hui tarashi hui bohon aur aankhon par ja ruki toh usko unme alag he aks dikhne laga. Yaha bhi jaise Zubeidaa ki alag he kahani dikh rahi thi. Zubeidaa ke bhi chehre par muskaan aa gayi Arjun dwara aise dekhne par. Chehre ke saamne hath karke wo bolne lagi toh Arjun ne chehra ghumaya.
"Abbu se toh hamesha pyaar he mila hai. Ye jo hamare maamu hai, inhe khoj-been ki jyada buri aadat hai. Har bar kuch aisa ho jata hai jis se mood kharaab. 2 saal se rishtey la rahe hai, jaane unhe he hamari mehar milni ho nikaah me. Waise bhi itna chalta hai, hafte me 2 din break mil jata hai toh Afsana ki khinchai karke maja le leti hu.", Is jikar par Arjun toh thoda asehaj he ho gaya.
"Waise tum chaploos hone ke sath sath bande thode tedhe bhi ho. Najre kuch jyada he beqaabu hai janaab ki.", Kaha toh Arjun soch kar aaya tha ki aaj wo Zubeidaa se jab baat karega toh Komal didi ke samjhane wale hisab se khud un par haavi hoga, yaha ye alag he avtaar tha jo uska bura haal kiye ja raha tha.
"Woo.. aisa kuch nahi hai. Bus compare kar raha tha ke last time aap kaisi dikh rahi thi aur aaj bilkul alag."
"Matlab ab hume ghoorne ke sath besharmi se milaan bhi karoge kal-parso wala? Hadd hai yar tumhari toh aur itna saaf bol kar toh thode deeth bhi jaan padte ho.", Arjun ab jo bhi bol raha tha Zubeidaa uski jyada marrammat karne lagi.
"Sorry. Aisa toh bilkul nahi socha tha maine.", Arjun ke chehre ki gambhirta aur jhijhak dekh Zubeidaa peit par hath rakhte hansne lagi.
"Yaar tum na Afsa se bhi gaye gujre ho. Matlab main maje le rahi hu aur saamne se tum diye jaa rahe ho. Buddhu kahi ke, tumhe dosto ki sakht jarurat hai. Hahaha.. uff.. hans hans ke dukhne laga.", Ab jaise he Zubeidaa hansti hui thoda aage jhuki wo buri tarah kasa seena Arjun ke najro ke saamne aa gaya. Dono motte ubhar aapas me judne par kahi jyada he dikhne lage kameej gale se. Halak sookhne laga tha is drishya par aur Arjun ne najar hataai toh Zubeidaa ko bhi samajh aa gaya tha ke yaha kya hua hai. Chehre par laali aur sharam chaa gayi thi. Is baar Arjun ne dekha toh Zubeidaa dusri taraf dekhte hue diwan ki chadar kuredne lagi.
"Ekdum se itna khamosh kaise ho gaye tum dono? Lo beta tum shuru karo, main Zubi ka bhi lagati hu.", Aunty ji bahar chali aayi aur nashte ke roop me dher sara khana Arjun ke samne paros diya. Arjun unki baat sunn kar Zubeida ki taraf dekhte hue bol pada.
"Wo didi dikha rahi thi.. mera matlab bata rahi thi ki dost kitne jaruri hai aur aapas me kuch bhi chipana nahi chahiye. Phir baat beech me bhool gayi.", Ab Zubeidaa hontho ko mooh ke andar karti Arjun ko aise dekh rahi thi jaise keh rahi ho, 'Bachu tu dekh teri kya halat karti hu.'
"Is se jara ye pucho beta ke kitni saheliya hongi iski. Ek bhi nahi aur hamari shehjaadi naseehat dosti ki sikha rahi hai. Allaah kuch akal bakshe is bhatke insaan ko.", Aunty ji ne alag he taang kheench di thi jaate jaate. Unke nikalte he Zubeida kuch kehti Arjun he bola pada.
"Chaliye sath me he khaate hai agar iske peeche koyi alag kanoon na ho toh."
"Tum naa maukaparast ho aur hamari he ammi ke saamne kya bakwas farma rahe the? Waise sath khaane me koyi burai nahi hai lekin ye dono plate tum yaha hamare beech me rakho.", Ab Zebeidaa plate uthane ke liye jhukne se bhi bach rahi thi aur Arjun is baat hanste hue dono plate beech me rakhta unhe dekhne laga.
"Khamosh raho."
"Main bola he kaha hu. Aap thik toh hai na?", Arjun abhi bhi hans raha tha aur phir Zubeidaa bhi thoda sehaj ho kar muskurane lagi.
"Tum sachmuch khatarnaak insaan ho aur ye final statement hai meri tumhare liye. Waise agar tumne ye sath khana khaane wali baat Afsana ko kahi hoti toh maja aata.", Ek niwala chana paneer ke sath laga kar khaate hue Zubeidaa ne araam se ye kaha toh Arjun ka dhyaan gaya ke wo teeno he yaha nahi thi. Idhar aunty ji ne dono ko he ek sath khaate dekha toh bina kuch kahe waha beech me rayte aur senvaiyon ki katori Zubeida ke liye rakhi aur garam poodi liye andar wale kamre ki taraf chal di.
"Kyo aisa kya ho jata?"
"Ruko abhi dikhati hu. Afsana-Afsana jara suno toh ek baar.", Zubeidaa ne thodi unchi awaaj me kaha toh Afsana us kamre se jhaank kar bahar dekhne lagi. Phir seene aur sar pe dupatta karti wo idhar chali aayi toh najro se he Arjun ko salaam kiya aur apni badi behan ki taraf dekhne lagi.
"Ji baaji, kahiye."
"Arjun bula raha tha tumhe. Hum toh sirf senvaiyaan khaa rahe hai isliye tum inke sath nashte me sath do."
"Hum hamari plate liye aate hai idhar agar aap kehti hai toh.", Badi masoomiyat se Afsana ne aisa kaha tha aur wo Arjun ko dekhne se katra rahi thi is waqt.
"Koyi jarurat nahi hai. Arjun koyi gair hai jo alag plate lagaye, sath he khaa lo yaha baith kar.", Itna sunte he Afsana ke aankhen badi ho gayi. Mooh par hath rakhti wo thoda hairani se Zubeidaa ko dekhne lagi.
"Tauba. Kais baatein karti hai baaji aap? Ye pehchaan ke hai lekin rishta nahi hai. Maaf kijiye.", Afsana ke aisa kehte he Arjun khana beech me rok kar he hansne laga aur Zubeidaa bhi khilkhilane lagi. Afsana stabdh se ab Arjun ko bhi dekh rahi thi ki yaha ho kya raha hai.
"Sorry.. sorry.. Aapko bura laga toh sorry bas Zubeidaa didi mujhe aapki reaction dikhane wali thi.", Arjun chup hone ki koshish karta fir hansne laga tha aur ab Afsana ke chehre par bhi sharam aa chuki thi. Alka thik kehti thi ki Zubeidaa baaji uske maje leti hai.
"Sorry Afsa darling. Aisa hai na hum dono he sath khaa rahe hai toh isne pooch liya ki aise khaane me problem toh nahi. Bas humne unhe bula liya jinhe problem hoti hai. Umaah.. Jao kar lo apna nashta apne band kamre me.", Afsana itna sunn kar thoda himmat se bolne lagi.
"Hum Aarti Alka ko bhi idhar bula lete hai.", Aur ab Zubeidaa Arjun ko dekh kar haan me sar hila rahi thi.
"Madam thoda thoda khud chalne lagi hai. Atchi baat hai nahi toh pehle itni baat kahi hoti toh abhi aansu najar aa jate. Waise savere tum he drop karke gaye the na?", Arjun baat sunte hue dekh raha tha ki Zubeidaa uski he chammach ka prayog karti hui uski he katori se senvaiyaa kha rahi thi. Jis par Zubeidaa ka dhyaan gaya toh wo aankhen hilati hui dekhne lagi.
"Ha.. haan wo main jaldi nikal raha tha aur inhe bhi ghar wapis aana tha toh lete hue aaya. Waise aap meri he chammach use kar rahi hai."
"Steel ki chammach hai wo bhi hamare ghar ki. Aisa kaho ke hum dono ek he chammach se khaa rahe hai. Dosto me itna toh chalta he hai. Waise dekho jara ab Afsana ke aur maje kaise leti hu.", Idhar Afsana ke sath Aarti Alka bhi plate uthaye chali aayi aur teeno he table par plate rakhti sofe par baith gayi.
"Afsu, aaj ghar pe tumhe chhodne Aarti aayi thi?", Ye sawaal sunn kar Aarti ne seedha he naa bol diya aur Afsana bagle jhaankne lagi.
"Wo hum pichli seat par baith kar aaye the baaji. Barabar nahi baithe."
"Oh meri gudiya tum sachmuch he bahot kachi ho.", Zubeidaa ke sath is baar Alka bhi hansne lagi thi.
"Kaha tha na maine tumhe ki Zubeidaa didi taang khinchti hai aur tum serious leti ho ye sab. Majaak kar rahi hai toh tumhe bhi sath dena chahiye.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Afsana ne bade he dhime se kaha.
"Hum majaak nahi kar sakte. Baaji badi hai wo kar sakti hai."
"Hey bhagwan. Yar Afsana tum toh sachmuch he mom ho. Har waqt bematlab pighalti rehti ho. Zubeidaa didi, isko banao thoda apne jaisa.", Aarti ne bhi ab Afsana ko tokte hue apne baat kahi. Lekin Afsana ne jab Zubeidaa aur Arjun ko ek he chammach bari bari se prayog karte dekha toh wo bas unhe he dekhne lagi.
"21vi sadi hai ye mohtarma aur Arjun hamara dost. Janti hu kya dekh rahi ho lekin tumhe toh ek plate me tabhi khana hai jab rishta ho. Bhai samajh kar bhi toh khaa sakti thi.", Zubeidaa alag he teer chalati thi aur yaha Arjun ki jagah ab Afsana nishane par aa gayi.
"Hum inhe bhai kaise bana le baaji? Aarti ke chhote bhai hai ye aur hamari dosti hai Aarti ke sath.", Apni baat par he Afsana fans chuki thi aur Alka khana chhod kar hansne lagi. Arjun ko thaska laga toh Zubeidaa ne hanste hue paani ka gilas uski taraf kiya.
"Arre bacho, nashta toh araam se karo. Phir hans bol lena.", Aunty garam poodiyan sabki plate me rakhne lagi toh Afsana ko khamosh dekh Zubeidaa ki taraf dekhne lagi.
"Ammi.. aapki ye ladli Arjun ko bhai bhi nahi keh rahi aur dost bhi nahi maan rahi. Batao ab iska kya kare? Car me Arjun ke sath toh aayi lekin pichli seat par baith kar. Hahaha.. Oooii.. maa.. bas.. aur nahi khana ab.", Zubeidaa ne naa kar di aur uski baat sunn kar Aunty ji ne bhi hanste hue sar pe chapat laga di.
"Meri gudiya nadaan hai tumhare jaisi hansod nahi jo kuch bhi bolti rehti hai. Afsana bitiya, tum dil par matt liya karo kisi baat ko. Sab hansi-majaak he kar rahe hai toh shamil hua karo."
"Ammi, hum naraaj nahi hai. Wo baaji ki baat samajh nahi aayi thi. Waise hum Arjun se bade hai na?", Afsana ke aisa kehne par Aunty ji ke chehre par ek pyaari si muskaan aa gayi thi. Beti ke sar ko sehlate hue unhone kaha.
"Hum-umar ho sabhi hamare liye toh. Ye Zubeidaa bhi tumse chhoti he hai, dekhti nahi har waqt kaise masti karti rehti. Arjun beta, sabji ya senvaiyaan chahiye ho toh bol dena. Aur jitni yaha rakhi hai wo lajmi khatam honi chahiye."
"Aunty ji, mere toh khatam ho gayi aur peit bhi bhar gaya. Ye Zubeidaa didi ki jo keh rahi thi ki unhe khana pasand nahi aaya. Jyada teil aur ghee dala hai aapne.", Afsana ye baat bhi hairat se sunn rahi thi.
"Aap baaji par iljaam laga rahe hai? Inhone toh aisa kuch bhi nahi kaha hamare saamne aur ammi baaji barbar inke sath he khaa rahi thi.", Ab Zubeidaa Arjun ke hath par taali deti hui hansne lagi thi aur aunty ji ne sar pe hath rakh liya.
"Tum sachmuch bahot bholi ho beti. Arjun Zubeidaa se majaak kar raha tha aur tumne baat apne upar le kar khud ko fir se sabit kar dia. Dekho Zubeidaa ko jara.", Aunty hansti hui rasoighar me chali gayi toh is baar Arjun he bol utha.
"Aapke yaha aise galat iljaam lagane ki saja kya hoti hai? Pata hota toh aisi gustakhi nahi karte.", Arjun ke aisa kehte he Alka ne hanste hue Afsana ko apne sath laga liya.
"Pata chala ke sabke sath rehne par kitna maja aata hai. Dekho khana bhi ho gaya aur hajam bhi. Zubeidaa didi, thoda tayaar karke bhejna jara Afsana ko, waha aap jaise he hai sab jo mauka nahi chhodte."
"2 din sambhal lena meri behan ko tum log. Phir mere aane ke baad mil kar madam ki class lagayenge.", Ye baat chal he rahi thi ki Arjun hath dhone ke liye uth khada hua. Afsana abhi bhi Alka ke sath lagi hui sharma rahi thi.
"Bete washbasin is taraf hai.", Aunty ne saaf toliya dete hue Arjun ko jagah dikhai aur Zubeidaa bhi thoda aage he bartan dhone ki jagah par plate rakhne lagi. Is baar phir wahi manoram gubbare dabte hue bahar nikle aur Arjun ki najar anyaas he waha padd gai. Turant Arjun ne dhyaan chalte paani par laga liya. Zubeidaa bhi hath dhone kareeb aayi toh chehre par fir se laali thi.
"Ab meri koyi galti nahi thi.", Arjun itna keh kar ek tarah hat kar toliye se hath paunchne laga.
"Meri galti thi matlab? Najre rokna seekho janaab."
"Rokta toh jyada bura lagta aapko aur aisa karna bhi galat hai toh hata li.", Arjun itna bol kar wapis chal diya.
"Bade he unche darje ke dheeth ho, kasam se.", Hansti hui Zubeidaa bhi wapis aa gayi thi aur ab Arjun ne jaane ki ijajat maangi toh Afsana aur Zubeidaa uske he dekhne lagi. Aunty ji ne thodi der rukne ka kaha lekin safar ki baat samajhte hue unhone koyi zidd nahi ki. Lekin abhi bhi Afsana chori chori Arjun ko dekh rahi thi, chehre par thodi pareshani thi jo Alka he bhaanp saki par wo bhi kuch boli nahi.
"Atcha aunty ji samay se aap sabhi log pahuch jarur jana.", Aarti ne gale milte hue kaha aur Alka ko bhi aunty ne aise he sneh diya. Arjun aashirwad le kar chalne laga toh Zubeidaa ne hath thaam liya.
"Janaab hum phone karenge aane se pehle, khatir dari me kami hui toh saja milegi."
"Aapka jara bhi kasht nahi hoga, iska poora khayaal rakhenge.", Arjun ne ye kehte hue ek baar Afsana ko bhi dekh lia. Zubeidaa aur aunty ji Arjun ke sath he bahar chal diye aur Afsana Aarti-Alka ke sath unke peeche. Ab kahi wo safed billi Arjun ko najar aayi thi bahar aangan me aate he. Uchalti hui wo Zubeidaa ki goad me aa chadhi. Darwaje se bahar aate he Arjun ne Alka-Aarti ke liye car ke darwaje khole aur dekhne laga.
"Jald milte hai Afsana. Chalne se pehle phone kar dena ya jab shehar me entry karo toh PCO se bata dena. Koyi na koyi lene aa he jayega.", Hath milane ke baad Aarti aur Alka car me baithi aur unke baad Arjun bhi steering wali seat par aa gaya. Is baar usne Afsana ko hath hila kar bye kiya tha, Aunty aur Zubeidaa ke palatne par. Afsana ke chehre par bhi ek hansi aa gayi thi.

Emergency case aane ki wajah se Shankar ji ki duty bhi samay se pehel shuru ho gayi thi. Bhuppi ke yaha se 5 baje wapis apne ghar aane ke baad nashta karte he wo 7 baje sarkari hospital ke operation theatre me ek gambhir halat me laaye gaye vyakti ki silaai me jutt gaye the. Ye ek naujawaan yuvak tha jo badi machine ki chapet me aane se marnasan haalat me idhar laya gaya tha. 3 bottle khoon chadhane ke sath sath poore sharir par takriban sava so taanke lagaye gaye the. 3 ghante baad Shankar ji bahar nikle toh wo yuvak ab khatre se bahar tha aur filhal kritrim roop se oxygen lagayi gayi thi. (9 May 1998, Shaniwar)
"Doctor sahab, aapne hamare zindagi ka sahar bacha liya. Aap hamare liye sakshat bhagwan ho doctor sahab. Hum gareeb logo ke pas toh apne bete ko bachane ke liye footi kaudi na thi lekin aapne jaan bachane ke sath ye paise ka bojh bhi hum par aane na diya. Main zindagi bhar gulami karne ko tayar hu aapki.", Ye kareeb 50 saal ka behaal sa vyakti apne bete ki jaan bachne par Shankar ji ke paanv me he lipat gaya. Aankhon se aansuon ki nadiyaan beh rahi thi aur vyaktitva se he maloom chalta tha is gareeb ki dayniya haalat ka.
"Dekho bhai tumhara beta isliye bach gaya kyonki tum samay se usko yaha le aaye. Maine sirf apna kaam kiya hai aur rahi baat paise ki toh wo main kafan ke sath toh upar leke jaa nahi sakta. Tum nishchint raho aur yaha uski dekhbhal ke liye uchit log hai. Is waqt tumhe apni dharampatni ke sath hona chahiye. Aage ilaaj ke kharche ki bhi matt sochna.", Shankar ji ne us vyakti ko dono baaju se pakad kar upar uthate hue samjhaya. Phir wahi pas me lagi 4 kursiyon me se ek par baithate hue ek nurse ko apne pas bula liya.
"Sister, inki details bhar lo aur patient ke care-taker me mera naam mention kar dena. Aur haan, inke liye canteen se chai nashta jarur mangwa dena. Ab aap himmat rakhiye aur nashte ke baad apne ghar chale jana, bete ki maa ko bhi fikar hogi. Chalta hu.", Shankar ji ke itna karne par ab us vyakti ke pas badle me kehne ko kuch bhi shesh na bacha tha. Apne khoon se sane angoche ko dono hatho me thame wo hath jodd kar bas bheegi aankhon se unka abhaar jatata raha. Shankar ji kandha thapthapate hue apne cabin me chale gaye.
"Uncle ji, ye hamare senior doctor hai Shankar ji aur inse kaabil surgeon toh yaha koyi nahi hai. Sabse badi baat hai ki sir khud he ab aap ke ladke ki jimmewari lenge toh ghabrane ki jarurat nahi. Chai pijiye aap, main abhi kisi ke hath nashta bhijwati hu. Sath wale kamre me baith kar pehle kuch kha lijiye.", Nurse ne chai pakdane ke sath he Shankar ji ki poori jaankari de di.
"Doctorni ji wo sahab toh hamare liye bhagwan ka he avtaar hai. Aapka bhi bahot dhanyawad lekin nashte ki jarurat nahi. Iski maa ko lene jaa he raha hu toh ghar pe he kar lunga. Waise bhi koyi itcha nahi hai.", Aadmi ne hath jodd kar mana kiya toh nurse ne aage dabaav nahi diya. Wahi Shankar ji ke cabin me Sangwan pehle he intjaar karta mila.
"Yar Shankar teri toh chutti thi aaj ki. Aur ye sunn ne me aaya ke jiska abhi tu ilaaj kar raha tha uska sara kharcha tu khud utha raha hai?", Yaha bhi chai ki chuskiya chal rahi thi.
"Chacha ke 10 hospital se mahine ka 30 lakh milta hai mujhe. Ek lakh kisi gareeb ki jaan bachane me kaam aa jaye toh kya nuksaan hai bhai? Waise wo bhi toh dasva hissa logo ke muft ilaaj me he lagate hai. Ye toh dasva hissa bhi nahi. Waise tu yaha kyu gaand marwane aa gaya chhuti ke din? Meri toh chal haajri CMO ne lagwa rakhi hai agle Shanivar aur Eitwar ki bhi.", Shankar ke aisa kehne par Param ne ajeeb sa chehra banate hue kaha.
"Ghar me saans na li jaati jabse Ruchi aayi hai. Main toh raat bhi bahar seedhi laga ke seedha upar gaya tha lugaai ke kamre me. Savere baapu 4 baje kisi ke phone se bahar nikalan lage toh jaate hue meri supari bhi dete gaye. Saare dhakke khaane ke baad tere ghar gaya toh pata laga sahab yaha hai. Waise thode bahot kaam toh tu atche karta hai Shankar, shakal dekh ki ni lagta lekin aadmi ek number hai.", Param maje le raha tha aur Shankar hans raha tha uske sath.
"Wo sab chhod aur ye bata ke Inder aur Umed abhi bhi tere farmhouse par he hai kya? Meri toh baat he nahi unse. Kal kuch jyada he over ho gaya tha main aur 8-9 ghante soya he raha Bhuppi ke ghar. Maa gussa kar rahi thi savere jab Inder ko mere sath nahi dekha toh.", Shankar ki apne chhote bhai ke liye parwah hamesha se he thi aur aaj toh jhaad bhi atchi khaasi mili thi apni maa se kyonki Narinder 2 din me ghar raha he kitna tha.
"Wo toh ghar pe he tha abhi jab main tujhse milne gaya tha udhar. Bahar aangan me he taai ji (Kaushalya ji) uske sar ki maalish kar rahi thi aur tau ji ke sath wo Shashtri ji bhi Inder se baatein kar rahe the hans hans ke. Mujhe toh kahi se na taai ji gusse me dikhi. Waise tu thoda ghar raha kar abhi jitne shaadi ka kaam hai. Abhi market chalega?", Param ne sara vritaant keh sunaya aur market jaane ka poocha toh jaise Shankar ko kuch aur bhi yaad aa gaya.
"Yar aaj mujhe Richa ko lene jana hai aur ye 11 baje jaruri operation bhi hai. Aur raat ko ghar nahi raha toh maa is baar maaf nahi karne wali.", Shankar ne apni sthiti bataai toh Sangwan bhi kuch sochne laga. Kuch pal baad usne he raaye di.
"Operation dono mil kar karte hai aur uske baad main Richa ko le aata hu agar tujhe theek lage toh. Nahi toh tu aana jana kar sakta hai, jyada time matt rukna."
"Lata aise toh wapis aane nahi degi aur 2 baje niklunga toh 7-8 baje se pehle wapis aane se raha. Tu lene gaya toh Richa toh aa he jayegi par uski maa ne mera jeena haraam kar dena hai. Aur aaj toh maine abhi tak usko phone bhi nahi kiya."
"Tu har roj phone karta hai Lata ko abhi tak?", Ab thoda Sangwan ke chehre par aashcharya ke bhaav the.
"Savere 9 baje se pehle aur shaam ko jab duty se wapis jaane lagta hu toh karta he hu. Ab itna bhi nahi karunga toh usko bura lagega. Pehli he bechari ki zindagi me kuch bacha nahi hai aur ab main bhi dur rehne lagu toh dil toot nahi jayega? Bahot parwah aur pyaar karti hai bhai wo bas halaat ki maari hai aur main chaah kar bhi usko wo khushiyan nahi de pa raha jo uska haq hai.", Shankar ki itni pyaar bhari darshnik baatein sunte he Sangwan ke chehre par ghor narajgi chha gayi.
"Chutiya hai be tu toh wo bhi chaman chutiya. Kaunsa haq be aur insaan apni haalat ka jimmewar khud hota hai na ki ye samaaj. Bhosdike najar na aata ke teri ab 3 betiyan aur ke beta hai Rekha bhabhi se? Unko tune lund haq diya jo tere naam ka sindhoor lagane ke bawjood teri andekhi ka shikar hai 23 saalo se. Dekh Shankar, tu aur main college ke pehle din se sath hai aur ek dusre ke harek raaj-samasyaye saanjhi hai. Tu mujhe Anni ki ehmiyat samjha sakta hai lekin apni biwi ke astitva ko khud nahi maanta.", Ant me Sangwan ne he apni awaaj neeche karte hue Shankar ko wahi samjhaya jo usne Sangwan ko kaha tha.
"Rekha ke pas poora pariwar hai bhai aur maine har jarurat poori ki hai uski lekin Lata mera pyaar hai jiski badtar haalat ka jimmewar aadha main bhi hu. Shaadi mujhse nahi hui lekin jiske sath hui usko maine he khatam kar diya. Antarman pe hamesha se yahi bojh hai ke sabki najar me toh maine he apni chahat ke liye usko vidhwa bana diya. Ab tu mujhe chutiya samajhta hai ya gaandu lekin sach yahi hai ke main he kasoorwar hu Lata ki zindagi ko narak banane ke liye. Bas isliye jo thodi bahot khushiyan main usko de sakta hu wo un par uska poora haq hai. Rekha bade ghar se hai aur yaha pariwar me bhi ek tarah se maa ne usko he sabkuch saunp rakha hai. Dekha jaaye toh Rekha sabse jyada sukhi hai jo har taraf uska khayal rakhne wale log hai."
"Sahi kehta hai bhai tu ki wo sukhi mahila hai. Itni sukhi hai ki wo sawaal he nahi karti kabhi. Main koyi doodh ka dhula insaan nahi hu Shankar lekin ek baar jara ye soch ki agar aurat ko pati-sukh na mile toh uski halat kya hogi? Agar aurat sanskaro me bandhi rahe toh wo samay se pehle he marr jaati hai avsaad, mansik kasht aur jaane kitni he jatil bimariyon se. Avsaad grast dukhi mann ek dheema zehar hai dost aur jitne log bhabhi ke aas-pas hai wo unhe tere wali khushi nahi de sakte. Waise mujhe toh lagta hai ab der ho chuki hai kyonki itni lambi andekhi ke baad bhabhi tujhse pyaar nahi kar paayengi. Waise bhi aap jaise Harishchandra ne toh pehli raat he unhe bata diya tha ke wo ghar ki bahu hai aur tera pyaar koi aur. Chal operation ki tayaari karte hai aur tujhe jaisa thik lage kar. Rekha bhabhi ka kuch ho nahi sakta kyonki tu toh ujde sansaar me hariyali lagane me vyast hai itne saalo se.", Aaj Sangwan ka mann buri tarah vyathit ho gaya tha. Uski bua ji ki maut avsaad se hui thi aur kaaran tha fufa ki ayaashi aur patni ki andekhi. Shankar maloom nahi tha ki aaj he Sangwan ki bua ki barsi hai aur wo ghar pe isliye he nahi ruk saka tha. Kuch der baad dono he dost bina jyada khinch-taan ke apne kaam par lag chuke the.

Arjun dopahar ko 1 baje se kuch pehle he wapis ghar pahuch chuka tha. Sara samaan Sanjiv bhaiya aur apni behno ki madad se car se nikal kar andar pahuchane ke baad apni chachi ki bagal me he leit kar araam karne laga toh Narinder chacha bhi idhar chale aaye. Kamre me ab Priyanka Komal samaan sahi kar rahi thi aur Sanjiv bhaiya bhi kursi par baithe the.
"Toh apni chachi maa ka khajana le he aaye aur wo bhi jaise harek cheej. Safar kaisa raha?", Narinder ji dekh rahe the ki unki biwi bade pyaar se Arjun ka sar sehla rahi thi aur wo bhi purn araam ki sthiti me tha.
"Nahi chacha ji, koyi dikkat nahi aayi aur gaanv wale raste se jyana toh safar ka pata bhi nahi chala. Waise mera dil tha aapki motorcycle bhi leke aane ka, shaadi ke baad jarur le aaunga.", Arjun ki baat sunn kar Narinder ji bhi muskura diye. Unhe bhi apni yamaha badi pasand thi.
"Jab dil kare le aana yar. Wo tumhari he hai ab kyonki mujhe toh ye Bullet pasand aa gayi hai.", Wo jaise Arjun ke maje le rahe the aisa kehte hue.
"Mujhe toh ab na motorcycle chaiye na car. Cycle thik hai apne liye aur baaki kahi jana ho toh aap aur bhaiya hain he.", Ab Sanjiv bhi apne bhai ki baat par hans raha tha jaise usko pata tha ki Arjun chacha se fansne wala nahi.
"Yar mujhe bhi kabhi apne sath shehar ghumane le chal tum dono. Na Sanjiv kahi leke jata hai aur na tum. Aur tum dono aapas me he lage rehte ho. Itna boodha bhi nahi hu, dost toh bana he sakte ho.", Narinder chacha ki baat Arjun samajh raha tha aur jaise usne bhaiya ko aankho se he ishara kiya.
"Lunch ke baad chalte hai chacha ji. Aapko aaj library leke chalte hai aur uske baad main ghar he rahunga ya jyada se jyada stadium.", Arjun jaise aaj apne chacha se bahot kuch sanjha karna chahta tha. Aur apni maa ki awaaj se turant uth khada hua jo usko dhoondti hui andar he chali aayi.
"Beta kapde badal lo aur khana ban chuka hai aap sab bhi dining table par aa jao. Aaj devar ji ki pasand ka he bana sabkuch.", Arjun ne apni maa ke hath se kapde lete hue unka gaal chooma aur bathroom chala gaya. Wahi Sanjiv bhi apni jagah se uth kar bahar chala aaya hath mooh dhone.
"Bhabhi, khushbu aa gayi thi bharva bhindi ki. Ek aap he ho jo ye sabji bana deti ho mere liye, warna maa ne toh hath he khade kar rakhe hai aur hamari begam sahiba toh bhindi tabhi banayngi jab main khud kaat ke du. Sath me aur kya banaya hai bhabhi.?", Narinder ke chehre par ek bache jaise khushi ki bhaav the aur Rekha ji bhi thoda khush thi is waqt.
"Rekha ne aapke liye pyaaj wale karele, kaali daal, aalu wala raita aur kheer bhi banai hai. 2 ghante se lagi hui hai ye rasoi me akeli aur aapki ye laadli betiyan toh kapde-samaan dekhte he unme kho gayi. Rekha, savere ka jimma abse Komal ke sath mera rahega. Koyi teen paanch nahi bas.", Krishna ji bister se uth kar apne kapde vyavasthit karti hui thodi narajgi se boli jis par Rekha ji apne devar ko dekhne lagi.
"Kuch din jaise bhabhi kehti hai waise raho Krishna. Kaam karne se koyi mana nahi kar raha lekin abhi bheed-bhaad wala samay rahega toh tum bagiche me Arjun ke sath mehnat karo ya shaam ko park me tehalne chali jaya karo. Garmi ka samya hai jisme tumhe thoda bachaav rakhna hai aur bhabhi tumhari chhoti behan hone ke sath sath jethani bhi hai. Har waqt jidd nahi karni. Chalo aaj sath me he khana khaate hai.", Ab Krishna ji narajgi se Rekha ko dekh rahi thi jo muskura rahi thi lekin Krishna ji ke bhi chehre par ekake muskaan aa he gayi.
"Ye devar-bhabhi ki saajish main samajhti hu. Rekha tu mil jara akele me fir dekhti hu tujhe atche se. Badi aayi jethani aur aap bhi ye bhabhi ke pallu se bandhe rehte ho na, mera beta batayega aapko. Haan keh deti hu.", Jameen par kadam rakhne se pehle he Narinder ji ne wo naram chappalo ki jodi apni biwi ke charno ke niche rakh di.
"Bhaagwan tumhare bete ka toh mukabla hamare pita ji bhi nahi kar sakte phir hum kis khet ki kaddu hai. Chalo ab khana khaate hai phir gaa lena apni raam-katha bhabhi ke sath.", Hanste muskurate hue Narinder ji apni biwi sang bahar chale aaye jaha Sanjiv pehle he baitha tha. Chehre par kuch soch thi jo Arjun ke barabar aate he dhoomil ho gayi.
"Kya irada hai chhote?"
"Bhaiya chacha ko jaankari saunp dete hai."
"Kisi haal me nahi bhai. Tu bas waise he ishare deta reh aur hum dono he chalte hai tere thikane par. Teri file ke badle mere pas bhi poori file hai Karam Singh ke ghar mile samaan ki. Wo Krishneshwar dada ji par he gola bana tha.", Sanjiv aur Arjun ki ye baatchit apne he andaaj me ho rahi thi aur Narinder ji rasoi me apna khana khud daal rahe the jab sab unki pasand ka bana tha.
"Thik hai toh pehal chacha ji ko he karne dete hai. Agar inhone kuch bataya toh bas aap apne hisab se dekhna. Waise chhote dada ji ki jaankari apne thaanedar sahab ko bhi poori nahi hai.", Arjun ab khamosh ho gaya tha jab Narinder ji idhar chale aaye aur Krishna ji Madhuri ke sath baaki sabke liye khana parosne lagi. Aaj ka din Arjun ke liye jyada he vyast rehne wala tha. Sanjiv aur Arjun ki baaton se itna toh pata chal chuka tha ki ye dono he baaki sabko chugga chugwa rahe hai aur chawal ke daane dikhane se pehle khud he chakh kar aage diye ja rahe ha
Chugga (1)
Us bade park ke bahar he car sahi se lagate hue Arjun andar chala aaya. Jagtar samay ka paband insaan tha aur wo pehle he intjaar karta mila. Track pajama aur tshirt ke sath mehnge sports wale joote pehne wo abhi halka paseene me bheega Arjun ki taraf badh chala.
"Toh time nikal he liya tumne? Atcha kiya bhai, main bhi bas abhi running se free hua hu.", Dono ne hath milaye aur Jagtar vriksh ki chhaya me rakhe lohe ke bench par Arjun ke sath baith gaya.
"Aapko itna pareshan karne ke liye sorry bhaiya. Bas ye jaankari mere liye bahot jaruri hai. Aap 3 baje bhi bulate toh main us waqt bhi aa jata.", Arjun ke gambhir chehre ko dekh Jagtar halke se muskura diya. Saamne tehalte hue logo par ek najar daalte hue apni baat shuru ki.
"Jaisa tumne phone par bataya tha maine wo sab toh pata karwa liya hai bhai lekin uske sath he extra bhi pata laga hai. Samajh ye nahi aa raha ki ye sab tum mujhse behtar juta sakte the agar apne ghar ya waha gaanv me khud baat karte."
"Mumkin nahi hai bhaiya aur main kabhi pushtaini gaanv nahi gaya hu. Jaane ki ijajat bhi nahi milti aur ye naam main unke saamne le bhi nahi sakta. Khud he sochiye ki itihaas kaise puchu jab unhone khud he kuch na bataya ho?", Ab Arjun ki baat Jagtar ke samajh aa chuki thi.
"Sahi kehte ho yar tum. Waise maine bhi ye sab khud nahi kiya jaisa tumne sujhaya tha. Har jaankari alag alag source se jutaai aur kuch kaagaj jutaane me thodi jyada he dikkat aayi thi lekin table ke niche se wo bhi nikalwa he liye tehsil se. Meri car me rakhi hai wo file aur jo kagaj me nahi hai wo main ab tumhe khud bata deta hu.", Arjun ne ek najar us zen car ko dekha jo park ke us taraf Jagtar ke ghar ke saamne he khadi thi aur fir sar hila kar sehmati jata di.
"Swargiya Motilal Sharma ji yaani tumhare padd-dada ji diwan-e-khaas bhi the Raja sahab ke aur munshi bhi. Unke charitra par kabhi koyi daag nahi aaya poore jiwankal me lekin ek ghatna pata lagi hai ke unke bade bete yaani ki tumhare dada ji pehle fauj me the aur waha jarur kuch hua tha jis wajah se Raja sahab ne he unhe fauj se wapis bulwa liya tha Munshi ji ke aagrah par. Ek saal baad wo police me shamil ho gaye.", Arjun ye fauj wali baat nahi jaanta tha.
"Aapka source sateek hai na bhai?"
"100 pratishat Arjun. Kaam ki baat toh ye hai ki tumhare dusre dada ji bilkul alag charitra ke the aur jawani ke kuch saal unhone shaahi taqat ka poora raub dikhaya tha apne dosto ke sath mil kar. Ye baat unke aream me utni faili nahi thi kyonki idhar apne pita ke anushasan ka bhaye tha. Jis vyakti Sarang ka tumne jikar kiya tha wo bhi kuch samay tak Krishneshwar Sharma ka ajeej raha hai aur Sarang ki asliyat jaante ho?", Jagtar ke is sawaal par hairat me baitha Arjun naa me gardan hila gaya.
"Raja sahab ki teesri biwi ka sabse bada beta tha Kumar Sarang jo baad me Sarang Kumar ho gaya. Rajasthan ke ek shahi gharane se thi unki maa aur baad me rajpaat ko le kar kuch khincha-taani hone par Sarang apne nanihal chala gaya jaha ki saari vasiyat usko mil gayi thi. 18-19 saal pehle he wo aakhiri baar is raj-gharane me aaya tha, kuch kaam se aur phir kabhi uska jikar yaha nahi hua. Baaki details file me he hain, araam se padh lena."
"Ye Krishneshwar dada ji ke baare me toh maine aisa kuch kabhi nahi suna. Bauji toh batate hai wo bade he sadharan se aur mehanati vyakti hai."
"Bhai, shaadi ke baad atche atche mehanat karne lagte hai. Waise uski bhi ek wajah pata lagi hai ki unke baare me unki mata ji ko kuch khatka hua tha aur uske baad wo kabhi apni jameen se bahar nahi gaye. Ab andar ki baat nahi pata ki kya hua hoga kya nahi. Waise tum toh yar jara bhi rajwade wale nahi lagte, sharir asadharan hai lekin Diwan-e-khaas ke pariwar ka ladka aur koyi tadak-bhadak nahi?", Jagtar bas taang kheench raha tha Arjun ki lekin Arjun ne saralta se jawaab diya.
"Mere dada ji ne saari zindagi police ki naukri ki hai bhaiya aur wo bhi ek behtar pehchaan banate hue. Mera papa sarkari doctor hai aur unki apni pehchan hai. Jab unhone he kabhi jikar nahi kiya ya wo pehchaan nahi dikhai toh main toh phir bhi unki teesri peedhi hu. Waise bhi mujhe toh hamesha jarurat se jyada he milta raha hai isliye santusht hu."
"Yar tum toh sachmuch he gambhir insaan ho. Waise tumhare chhote dada ka beta bada harami aur ayyash aadmi hai, agar tum nahi jaante toh bata deta hu. Vinod Sharma bataya tha na tumne?"
"Haan wo 3 bhai behno me sabse chhote hai lekin unhe bhi maine ek he baar dekha hai takriban 10 saal pehle. Unki kya jaankari mili hai?"
"Hotel Blue aur Country Farm ka maalik hai ye Vinod Sharma, takriban 36-37 saal ka hai. Shaadi ke 5 saal baad abhi kuch mahine pehle he baap bana hai. Juari bhi hai aur randibaji bhi karta hai. Bura matt maan na bhai lekin wahi bol raha hu jo sach hai.", Ek pal ke liye Jagtar ruka toh Arjun ne aage bolne ka ishara diya.
"Chinta matt kijiye, mujhe bas sab jaankari leni hai. Aur bataye unke sath sath dono badi behno ke baare me."
"Haan wo jameen ka vyapaar apne bade jija ke sath karta hai, ye agle he shehar me jaha se gaanv bhi kuch 20 kilometer he hoga. Jija ka naam sahi se nahi pata kuch PP Sharma karke hai aur Roshni Sharma jo, Vinod Sharma ki badi behan hai wo pehle toh sarkari teacher thi lekin ab kuch nahi karti. Vinod Sharma ki dusri behan ka pati Country Farm me sanjhedar hai. Raman Sharma naam hai uska aur biwi Damini ek housewife hai. Ye sab jaankari tumhe araam se apne ghar se he mil jaati kisi na kisi se. Lekin inka charitra shayad waha bhi batane wala koyi na hoga. PP Sharma gaagh vyakti hai aur ye Raman thoda dabbu kism ka. ", Arjun bade gor se apne he pariwar ke un sadasyo ki jaankari le raha tha jo unke yaha kabhi aate jaate nahi the.
"Sahi kehte ho ki inke baare me khaas baatein mujhe waha bhi pata nahi chalti.", Ab dono he uth kar park ke kinare kinare bani patri par chalte hue baatein karne lage. Paune 7 bajte he Arjun ne jaane ki ijajat li aur file ko car ke dasboard me sambhal kar rakhte hue wo waha se wapis nikal chala. Aaj usko bahot kuch pata chala tha aur Jagtar ne sachmuch bahot bada kaam kar dikhaya tha Arjun ke liye. Aisi gupt jaankariyan nikalna saral toh katai nahi tha lekin Jagtar ne ek khaas dost aur chhota bhai maante hue Arjun ke liye wo sab kiya. Badle me Arjun ne bhi aisa he kuch khaas kaam Jagtar ke liye kiya tha jo Jagtar ki zindagi sanvarne wala tha. Aise he dono ke beech ek majboot dosti ki neev shuru ho chuki thi.
.
.
"Ye tamancha khaas hai aur kaafi purana bhi. Jitna main samajh raha hu ye aise he kisi ke pas nahi ho sakta aur upar se ye is par ki gayi ye nakkashi batati hai ki iska sahi maalik toh koyi rutbe wala vyakti he hoga. Fingerprint toh utarwa liye hai aur nali ki jaanch report thodi der tak yahi aa jayegi.", Sangwan ji ke sath sirf Inder aur Umed he the is bade kaksh me subah ke 7 baje. Yaha aaye unhe 2 ghante ho chuke the aur is beech kuch khaas logo se bahot si baatein ho chuki thi.
"Ye khanjar bhi waisa sa he hai chacha ji. Iske baare me kya vichar hai aapke?", Narinder ne wo 8-9 inch lambe phal wala khanjar plastic sudha Sangwan ji ki taraf badhaya toh unhone gardan haan me hila di.
"Ispe jehar laga hua tha, jaisa lab-assistant ne bataya. Finger print iske bhi aa jayenge lekin dekhne wali baat ye hai ki itne khaas aur beshkimati hathiyaar aise kyu sahej kar rakhe gaye the. Rivolver german hai 1949 me bani aur ye khanjar bejod hai, kisi hunarmand vyakti ki kalakari ka khaas namuna. Waise ye dhibhri wala sikka jo hai aisa he kuch is ladke ke gale me bhi hai.", Sangwan ji ne tasvir ko lens ke niche karte hue dono ko dikhaya toh Umed ab gehri soch me padd gaya.
"Bas report aa jaye chacha ji, phir hum pata lagane ki koshish karte hai ki ye mudda kya hai.", Umed aur Narinder ne bahot kuch chhipa liya tha Sangwan ji se. Wo yaha bas in hathiyaro aur tasvir ke sath aaye the. Dhaage me bandha sikka khud Narinder ne jeb se nikal kar unhe dikhaya tha.
"Agar kuch jaruri kaam hai toh tum log wo kar sakte ho. Ye dono cheej sath le jao main report jaanch kar khud tumhe jaankari de dunga."
"Thik baat hai chacha ji. Waise bhi ab mujhe ghar jana hoga aur Umed ko bhi hajri lagaye aaj teesra din hone wala hai. Araam se baat karte hai is maamle me aur ho sake toh Shankar ya papa tak baat na jaaye.", Narinder ke aagrah ko unhone bhi swikaar kar liya. Dono log samaan us chhote se thaile me daal kar bahar nikal chale. Abhi jaise unke mann me bahot kuch chal raha tha. Lift se niche aate he Umed bina car chalu kiye aankhen band karke gehri saans lene laga.
"Inder ye maamla kahi galat disha me na chala jaaye bhai.", Chehre par daadhi kuch jyada he badh gayi thi Umed ke aur Narinder ke bhi saaf chehre par maheen baal bata rahe the ki 3-4 din se uska bhi dhyaan kahi aur nahi gaya hai.
"Ab jo hoga dekha jayega yar lekin kaam poora karke he rukna hai is baar toh. Waise jaan kar ajeeb nahi laga ki Chandarbhan aur Karam Singh judwa the? Shakal toh milti nahi thi saalo ki aur ye goad bhi gaya toh apne mama ke. Damyanti agar zinda hai toh usko dhoondna jaruri hai Gajju aur ab pakadna hoga Laajo kaaki ko. Chhinaal sagi behan hai wo Damyanti ki aur Ishwar kaka ke sath dusra byaah tha uska.", Narinder ke sawaal sunn kar Umed ne aankhen kholi aur ek ghoont paani se garare karte hue bahar fenk diya.
"Chandarbhan us tasvir me Munni ko he pel raha tha na? Aur Laajo kaaki ko bhi. Behanchod ho kya raha hai ye. Ab Bhole ke saamne ye tasvir gayi toh wo bangdu Munni ko toh maarega he khud ko bhi kuch kar baithega. Chandar sala sagi mausi aur behan ko he chod raha tha aur ye tasvir kisne nikale honge?"
"Lagta hai ye kuch bada he jhol hai Gajju. Madhulata se puchtach karne par jawaab hoga ki chandar usko blackmail kar raha tha kyonki Laajo ko dekh kar toh yahi lagta hai ke wo ye sab maje me kar rahi hai toh pata Madhulata ko bhi hoga. Phir wo kameeni yahi baat Shankar ko batayegi aur mahadev kaha phir kisi ki sunenge. Madhulata ko agwa kar sakte hai kya?", Narinder ne jis tarah se ye sawaal kiya tha Umed sakpaka gaya.
"Bawli-tared ho gaya kya bhai tu? Chandro taai ki haveli me ab kuch nahi karna aur agwa he karna hai toh shaadi ke baad dekhte hai. Lekin uske baad toh usko jaan se maarna padega be. Na na aisa kuch nahi karna. Yaha Arjun ko shamil kar kyonki wahi haveli me Munni ki khabar le sakta hai. Ab jara us folder me mile jameen ke kaagaz par aaja. Kumar Sarang ne jameen ke badle jameen di thi. Matlab ki Damyanti ka uske sath alag sambandh tha."
"Rakhail bhi keh sakte hai aur ye jameen wala mamla dhyaan bhatkane wala bhi. Us kaagaj ke hisab se Damyanti yaha jab aayi toh ye bache ho chuke the aur wo vidhwa thi. Laajo kaaki ka pehla pati jo Ishwar kaka ka bada bhai tha wo udhar Punjab se isko byaah kar laya tha. Dusre saal me maut hui aur chhote bhai Ishwar Singh ke sath Laajo ka dusra byaah kar diya gaya. Kuch missing hai yar aur agar wo kadi mil jaaye toh ye sulajh sakti hai.", Narinder ka bhi sar chakrane laga tha ye mayajal samajhte samajhte aur baat ghoom-fir kar wahi atak rahi thi.
"Dusri tarah se soch jara. Bindu aur Munni ka byaah ek he khaandan me hua wo bhi eksath. Waha aakhiri baar Damyanti najar aayi thi aur Sarang bhi maujud tha, tu aur Shankar nadarad the. Ye mujhe bhi Ajju ne he bataya tha jo phere bhi dekh kar aaya tha isliye yaad hai mujhe. Ab Ajju jaha maara gaya waha Shillu ne aurat dekhi thi aur Shillu ko mara Chandar ne. Ajju ke sharir par vaar karna itna asaan kaam nahi tha aur 10-12 laashe jab gira di ho toh bilkul bhi kisi me himmat nahi hogi aise insaan ke kareeb jaane ki.", Yaha ye dono he Lohan ke varnan se anjaan the. Par Narinder bhi Umed ki tarah he sochne laga.
"Tu kehna kya chahta hai Gajju? Tujhe lagta hai ke uski maut me Damyanti ka haath hai?"
"Wo khanjar se jab nishaan utaare gaye the toh mera dil ke raha tha aisi nakkashi wali cheej kisi rutbe wali aurat ke he pas ho sakti hai, aatmraksha ke liye. Ajju kabhi aurat par hath nahi utha sakta tha aur is baat ko harek insaan jaanta tha ki uske liye har aurat ijjat-balidan ka roop hai. Aisa mera dil keh raha hai bhai ki ho sakta hai us khanjar se he Ajju ko jakhmi kiya gaya ho.", Umed ka mann bechain ho chala tha itni baar apne bhai ko yaad karte hue. Kuch aisa he haal Narinder ka bhi tha.
"Chal yaha se chalte hai Gajju. Hum dono ko he araam ki sakht jarurat hai filhal. Daleep us ladke se jaankari lene ke baad bata he dega aur us makeup box ko araam se dekhenge.", Umed ko bhi ye baat thik lagi. Car ab Pandit ji ke ghar ki taraf chal padi, Narinder ko utarne ke liye.

Arjun pichle aadhe ghante se phone par he laga tha aur dono behne Resham Singh ji ke ghar gayi hui thi. Ghar aate he ye fainsla hua tha ki nashte ke baad wo sabhi ghar wapis niklenge. Aarti-Alka ke jaate he Arjun ne phone ghuma diya tha. Ek number par takriban 10 minute tak baat karne ke baad ab wo Sanjiv bhaiya se guftgu karne laga. Is taraf se jaise Arjun he bol raha tha aur dusri taraf Sanjiv araam se jaankari leta raha. Ghadi me paune 8 ka waqt dekhte he Arjun ne kuch bol kar phone rakha aur ghar ko durust karne jutt gaya.
Bahar se mukhya supply band karne ke baad sabhi taale lagaye aur mukhya dwar par bada tala bhi latka diya. Pados wale ghar ki ghanti baja kar wo intjaar he kar raha tha aur Gurdeep ko sath liye dono behne bahar chali aayi.
"Humko nikalna hoga 10 baje se pehle.", Arjun ke sankshipt se swar par Aarti ne ek nigha ghar par daali aur Gurdeep se gale mil kar car ki taraf chali aayi. Alka bhi hans kar Gurdeep se mili aur sab ko car me baithne ke baad jaate dekhti rahi. Ricki pehli manjil ki chhatt par khada bade dhyaan se sab dekh raha tha jab tak Alka car me na baith gayi.
"Poora ghanta laga diya aap logo ne toh Gurdeep ke yaha.", Arjun ne ye baat aise he kahi thi lekin Aarti hansne lagi.
"Aunty ji aane he nahi de rahi thi. Waise baaki cards maine uncle ko de diye hai jo wo aaj he pahucha denge.", Aarti ki baat sunn kar Arjun ne aage koyi sawaal na kiya. Kuch he der me unki car ab Hussain sahab ke ghar ke bahar khadi thi. Arjun ne card aur mithai ka dibba nikalne ke baad atche se gaadi ko lock kiya aur dono behno ke sath unke gate ke saamne aa khada hua. Ghanti ki awaaj sunte he ye raubdar shaksh sehan ka darwaja khol kar is taraf chale aaye. Takriban 6 feet lambai aur fakk safed kurta pajama pehne hue ye adhed umar ke vyakti ki rangat bhi gulabi thi.
"Namastey uncle ji. Shukar hai aaj toh aap ghar pe he hai.", Unke chehre par bhi bacho ko dekh khushi chhayi thi. Aarti ke sar par hath rakh kar aashirwad dene ke baad unhone Alka ko bhi sneh se andar aamantrit kiya. Arjun ne charan sparsh karne chaahe toh inhone uski baah thaam li.
"Beta, itna bhi bujurg matt karo aur aapse paanv padva kar dojakh me jana hai kya. Masha-allaah, Shankar-Narinder bhai se bhi 21 ho beta. Allah tumhe lambi umar aur shohrat de. Aao, isko apna he ghar samjho.", Arjun ke sath unka andaaj bharpoor samman aur pyaar wala tha. Arjun sadhe kadmo se unke sath bheetar chala aaya jaha baithak me 2 aur log baithe the, inki he umar ke takriban.
"Bilal bhai, aap hai Arjun Sharma apne Shankar bhai ke bete aur Arjun beta ye hamare chhote bhai hai. Janaab Mushtaq sahab hamare saale hai aur sath he vyapar dekhte hai.", Unhone Arjun ka parichaya karwaha toh nimantran partra aur mithai Hussain sahab ko dete hue Arjun ne dono ko he hath jodd kar namaskar kiya. Mushtaq Afsana Zubeida ke mama aur Bilal chacha the. Bilal ne khushi jahir ki wahi Mushtaq ke chehre par sirf aupcharikta dikhi. Arjun wahi ek sofe par baith gaya lekin thoda bechain tha in sabhi anjaan vyaktiyo me.
"Shankar bhai se hum 3 saal pehle mile the aur aaj tumhe pehli baar dekh rahe hai beta. Kad-kaathi toh pathaan jaisi hai bilkul. Kaam-dhanda karte ho ya sirf pehalwani.", Ye Bilal ne poocha tha aur andar se chehra dhake ye mahila tray me sharbat liye khamoshi se aayi aur table par tray rakh kar waise he chali gayi.
"Ji filhal toh padhai karta hu aur thoda bahot boxing ke sath kasrat bhi. 18 ki umar hai toh business jaisa mumkin nahi kuch.", Arjun ke saral jawaab se Hussain sahab ne sar hilate hue haan kaha jaise unhe Arjun ki jaankari ho.
"Bhai jaan, aisa ladka waha Lucknow me hota toh apni bitiya ka nikaah ek pal me karwa deta. Janaab toh abhi padhne likhne wale hai aur Shankar bhai doctor hai toh waisa he kuch ye bhi banenge. Atcha laga tumhe dekh kar.", Bilal ne apni baat khatam karte hue sharbat ka ek gilas Arjun ko thamaya aur ek apne bade bhai sahab ko. Mushtaq pehle he gilas utha kar pee raha tha.
"Ham-Zulf (jija) sahab, Taarik ke liye aap baat chalaye jara un ladki ke pariwar se jo abhi bheetar gayi thi inke aane se pehle? Apni he kaum ki lagi humko toh aur aftaab hai.", Ye Mushtaq ne jo bhi kaha tha wo Alka ke liye kaha tha aur Arjun ke kuch kehne se pehle he Hussain sahab naraaj ho gaye.
"Mushtaq, humne ye bahot baar kaha hai ke insaan ki kadar karna seekho aur pehle pehchaan karna bhi. Bitiya inki badi behan hai, gar yahi baat Narinder bhai ke saamne jubaan se nikli hoti toh jubaan jameen par halaal milti. Bilal inhe bahir le chalo, hum apna purse aur samaan liye aate hai. Begam ke walad sahab ne nikamma yaha bhej diya aur Hasnat jaise heere ko apne pas rakh liya.", Hussain sahab ke gusse me bhi ek alag he andaaj tha. Awaaj buland kiye bina he wo Mushtaq ko tagdi jhaad laga gaye the. Arjun unke jaane ke baad Mushtaq ko gor se dekhne laga toh jhempte hue wo bol he utha.
"Maaf karna hume maloom nahi tha ke wo aapki bahin hai."
"Maafi najro me hoti hai uncle, yaha sirf majboori dikh rahi hai.", Arjun bhi sofe se khada ho kar jaane he laga tha aur peeche se aate Hussain sahab ne kandhe par hath rakh diya.
"Beta, narajgi jaane do aur aap andar sabke sath baith kar nashta farmao. Hamare saale ki kahi baat ka humko dukh hai lekin aap is baat ko tavajjo mat de.", Arjun pal me he thanda ho gaya tha.
"Nahi uncle main gussa nahi hu aur aapne toh mere saamne he unhe daant diya jis par unhe bhi bura laga hoga. Galti ho jaati hai anjaane me."
"Kaam se jana nahi hota toh jarur sath he nashta farmate. Aapke ghar he milenge shaadi ki davat par. Shankar bhai aur Pandit ji ko hamara salaam dena.", Jaate hue Hussain sahab ne ek bar Arjun ko gale se lagaya aur dua dete hue bahar apni gaadi me baith kar nikal gaye. Unke jaate he baithak me Zubeidaa aa khadi hui.
"Tum toh yar bade khatarnak insaan ho. Hamare he ghar me hamare maamu ko he dapat diya? Maja aaya waise.", Hansti hui ye gadrai aadhunika bhi kamaal he thi. Poore ghar me jaise ek yahi thi jo befikar rehti thi. Yaha bhi wo Arjun ka hath pakadte hue khilkhila rahi thi. Gore bhare bhare gaal aur bina laali ke bhi surkh hontho wali muskaan se Arjun bhi muskurane laga.
"Kaisi hai aap?"
"Tumhare saamne he hu aur ab andar chalo, ammi raah dekh rahi hai ke kab chaand nikle aur kab nashta naseeb ho.", Zubeidaa ki aisi bindaas baatein sunn kar Arjun bhi sharma raha tha. Aur wo aise he hath pakde is andar wale hall me chali aayi. Ye mahila thodi hairani se Zubeida ko dekh rahi thi lekin aunty ji ne bade pyaar se Arjun ko swagat karte hue apne kareeb he diwan par baitha liya.
"Shukar hai tum milne aaye yaha. Humne toh socha tha kahi pichli bar is Zubeidaa ki wajah se naraaj na ho gaye ho.", Unki aisi baaton par Arjun jaha khush hua wahi Zubeidaa mooh bichka kar nakhra dikhane lagi. Aaj Zubeidaa bhi salwar kameej me he thi lekin dupatta nadarad hone se sharir ka har ubhaar qayamat najar kara raha tha.
"Main ab kis baat se naraaj hota hai aunty ji? Didi bahot atchi hai aur pichli baar inse mil kar bada atcha laga tha. Is baar aap hamare ghar aane wali hai wo bhi har function attend karna padega.", Arjun ko in aunty ka dulaar bhi atcha laga tha. Ek maryadit pariwar jaha pabandiyo ka dhakosala tak na tha. Soch bhi sabse mil jul kar rehne wali.
"Hum toh jarur aayenge bas ye Zubeidaa he aise shaadi-byaah ke mahol se dur rehti hai. Afsa ke abbu toh bahot khush the jab khud Afsa ne unhe bataya ki wo 7 din pehle he apni saheliyo ke sath tumhare yaha jaane wali hai. Krishna behan ke sath tumhari ammi bhi waha hongi toh hume bhi pareshani nahi. Bache aaj duniya dekhenge tabhi toh kal apne fainsle lene layak honge."
"Ammi, main toh jarur jaa rahi hu, phir aap chahe ghutne ka bahana karke ruk jana. Aur mehmaan ko nashta parosna padta hai, baaton se inki bhookh kaha mitegi?", Zubeidaa ke tanj par aunty bhi muskurane lagi. Zubeidaa apni ammi ke khade hote he Arjun ke bagal aa baithi.
"Mister, tum na bade he chaploos kism ke insaan ho jo hamari ammi ke khaas bane ja rahe ho. Waise ye jo hume taad rahi hai na ye hamari maami hai, Rukhsar begam.", Zubeidaa ne toh mooh par he us mahila ki firki le li thi. Jhempti hui Rukhsar begam bhi apni Nanad ke piche rasoi me chal di. Jaate he unke mooh se besakhta nikal gaya.
"Aapne dekha nahi kya kaise apni Zubi gair-mard ka haath thaame be-hayaai kar rahi hai? Aap ammi hai unki, tokna toh banta hai ke kam-as-kam seene par dupatta he lele. Ladka gar pasand hai toh rishta chalaye ya biradari me baat toh kahe, aise he khule-aam toh galat ha na baaji.", Rukhsar ki awaaj dheemi thi aur Zubeidaa ki ammi bas hanse ja rahi thi.
"Tum jaanti bhi ho wo hamare bete jaisa hai Rukhsar aur bache atcha bura samajhte hai. Behan-bhai ke beech biradari kaha aate hai? Chana-paneer garam karo, hum sevaniyaa dekhte hai. Afsana ke kamre me pehle teeno bachiyon ka nashta lagwao, Arjun unke baad he khayega jaisa Alka ne kaha.", Rukhsar toh bechari ab aage bol bhi na saki. Wahi bahar Zubeidaa aaj alag andaaj me he thi, chitrakaar wale roop se bilkul alag.
"Toh aaj break liya hai aapne painting se?", Arjun badi tehjeeb se baitha tha beshak Zubeida uske sath araam se baatein kar rahi thi.
"Mood na ho toh hum bister se nahi uthte phir painting ke liye toh mahol, araam aur dimag shaant hona chahiye. Waise he abbu ke aane ke baad mahol nahi milta."
"Uncle toh bade sahi lage mujhe, wo toh support he karte honge aapko.", Arjun ki najar kaan me pehni un chamakti baaliyon se hoti hui tarashi hui bohon aur aankhon par ja ruki toh usko unme alag he aks dikhne laga. Yaha bhi jaise Zubeidaa ki alag he kahani dikh rahi thi. Zubeidaa ke bhi chehre par muskaan aa gayi Arjun dwara aise dekhne par. Chehre ke saamne hath karke wo bolne lagi toh Arjun ne chehra ghumaya.
"Abbu se toh hamesha pyaar he mila hai. Ye jo hamare maamu hai, inhe khoj-been ki jyada buri aadat hai. Har bar kuch aisa ho jata hai jis se mood kharaab. 2 saal se rishtey la rahe hai, jaane unhe he hamari mehar milni ho nikaah me. Waise bhi itna chalta hai, hafte me 2 din break mil jata hai toh Afsana ki khinchai karke maja le leti hu.", Is jikar par Arjun toh thoda asehaj he ho gaya.
"Waise tum chaploos hone ke sath sath bande thode tedhe bhi ho. Najre kuch jyada he beqaabu hai janaab ki.", Kaha toh Arjun soch kar aaya tha ki aaj wo Zubeidaa se jab baat karega toh Komal didi ke samjhane wale hisab se khud un par haavi hoga, yaha ye alag he avtaar tha jo uska bura haal kiye ja raha tha.
"Woo.. aisa kuch nahi hai. Bus compare kar raha tha ke last time aap kaisi dikh rahi thi aur aaj bilkul alag."
"Matlab ab hume ghoorne ke sath besharmi se milaan bhi karoge kal-parso wala? Hadd hai yar tumhari toh aur itna saaf bol kar toh thode deeth bhi jaan padte ho.", Arjun ab jo bhi bol raha tha Zubeidaa uski jyada marrammat karne lagi.
"Sorry. Aisa toh bilkul nahi socha tha maine.", Arjun ke chehre ki gambhirta aur jhijhak dekh Zubeidaa peit par hath rakhte hansne lagi.
"Yaar tum na Afsa se bhi gaye gujre ho. Matlab main maje le rahi hu aur saamne se tum diye jaa rahe ho. Buddhu kahi ke, tumhe dosto ki sakht jarurat hai. Hahaha.. uff.. hans hans ke dukhne laga.", Ab jaise he Zubeidaa hansti hui thoda aage jhuki wo buri tarah kasa seena Arjun ke najro ke saamne aa gaya. Dono motte ubhar aapas me judne par kahi jyada he dikhne lage kameej gale se. Halak sookhne laga tha is drishya par aur Arjun ne najar hataai toh Zubeidaa ko bhi samajh aa gaya tha ke yaha kya hua hai. Chehre par laali aur sharam chaa gayi thi. Is baar Arjun ne dekha toh Zubeidaa dusri taraf dekhte hue diwan ki chadar kuredne lagi.
"Ekdum se itna khamosh kaise ho gaye tum dono? Lo beta tum shuru karo, main Zubi ka bhi lagati hu.", Aunty ji bahar chali aayi aur nashte ke roop me dher sara khana Arjun ke samne paros diya. Arjun unki baat sunn kar Zubeida ki taraf dekhte hue bol pada.
"Wo didi dikha rahi thi.. mera matlab bata rahi thi ki dost kitne jaruri hai aur aapas me kuch bhi chipana nahi chahiye. Phir baat beech me bhool gayi.", Ab Zubeidaa hontho ko mooh ke andar karti Arjun ko aise dekh rahi thi jaise keh rahi ho, 'Bachu tu dekh teri kya halat karti hu.'
"Is se jara ye pucho beta ke kitni saheliya hongi iski. Ek bhi nahi aur hamari shehjaadi naseehat dosti ki sikha rahi hai. Allaah kuch akal bakshe is bhatke insaan ko.", Aunty ji ne alag he taang kheench di thi jaate jaate. Unke nikalte he Zubeida kuch kehti Arjun he bola pada.
"Chaliye sath me he khaate hai agar iske peeche koyi alag kanoon na ho toh."
"Tum naa maukaparast ho aur hamari he ammi ke saamne kya bakwas farma rahe the? Waise sath khaane me koyi burai nahi hai lekin ye dono plate tum yaha hamare beech me rakho.", Ab Zebeidaa plate uthane ke liye jhukne se bhi bach rahi thi aur Arjun is baat hanste hue dono plate beech me rakhta unhe dekhne laga.
"Khamosh raho."
"Main bola he kaha hu. Aap thik toh hai na?", Arjun abhi bhi hans raha tha aur phir Zubeidaa bhi thoda sehaj ho kar muskurane lagi.
"Tum sachmuch khatarnaak insaan ho aur ye final statement hai meri tumhare liye. Waise agar tumne ye sath khana khaane wali baat Afsana ko kahi hoti toh maja aata.", Ek niwala chana paneer ke sath laga kar khaate hue Zubeidaa ne araam se ye kaha toh Arjun ka dhyaan gaya ke wo teeno he yaha nahi thi. Idhar aunty ji ne dono ko he ek sath khaate dekha toh bina kuch kahe waha beech me rayte aur senvaiyon ki katori Zubeida ke liye rakhi aur garam poodi liye andar wale kamre ki taraf chal di.
"Kyo aisa kya ho jata?"
"Ruko abhi dikhati hu. Afsana-Afsana jara suno toh ek baar.", Zubeidaa ne thodi unchi awaaj me kaha toh Afsana us kamre se jhaank kar bahar dekhne lagi. Phir seene aur sar pe dupatta karti wo idhar chali aayi toh najro se he Arjun ko salaam kiya aur apni badi behan ki taraf dekhne lagi.
"Ji baaji, kahiye."
"Arjun bula raha tha tumhe. Hum toh sirf senvaiyaan khaa rahe hai isliye tum inke sath nashte me sath do."
"Hum hamari plate liye aate hai idhar agar aap kehti hai toh.", Badi masoomiyat se Afsana ne aisa kaha tha aur wo Arjun ko dekhne se katra rahi thi is waqt.
"Koyi jarurat nahi hai. Arjun koyi gair hai jo alag plate lagaye, sath he khaa lo yaha baith kar.", Itna sunte he Afsana ke aankhen badi ho gayi. Mooh par hath rakhti wo thoda hairani se Zubeidaa ko dekhne lagi.
"Tauba. Kais baatein karti hai baaji aap? Ye pehchaan ke hai lekin rishta nahi hai. Maaf kijiye.", Afsana ke aisa kehte he Arjun khana beech me rok kar he hansne laga aur Zubeidaa bhi khilkhilane lagi. Afsana stabdh se ab Arjun ko bhi dekh rahi thi ki yaha ho kya raha hai.
"Sorry.. sorry.. Aapko bura laga toh sorry bas Zubeidaa didi mujhe aapki reaction dikhane wali thi.", Arjun chup hone ki koshish karta fir hansne laga tha aur ab Afsana ke chehre par bhi sharam aa chuki thi. Alka thik kehti thi ki Zubeidaa baaji uske maje leti hai.
"Sorry Afsa darling. Aisa hai na hum dono he sath khaa rahe hai toh isne pooch liya ki aise khaane me problem toh nahi. Bas humne unhe bula liya jinhe problem hoti hai. Umaah.. Jao kar lo apna nashta apne band kamre me.", Afsana itna sunn kar thoda himmat se bolne lagi.
"Hum Aarti Alka ko bhi idhar bula lete hai.", Aur ab Zubeidaa Arjun ko dekh kar haan me sar hila rahi thi.
"Madam thoda thoda khud chalne lagi hai. Atchi baat hai nahi toh pehle itni baat kahi hoti toh abhi aansu najar aa jate. Waise savere tum he drop karke gaye the na?", Arjun baat sunte hue dekh raha tha ki Zubeidaa uski he chammach ka prayog karti hui uski he katori se senvaiyaa kha rahi thi. Jis par Zubeidaa ka dhyaan gaya toh wo aankhen hilati hui dekhne lagi.
"Ha.. haan wo main jaldi nikal raha tha aur inhe bhi ghar wapis aana tha toh lete hue aaya. Waise aap meri he chammach use kar rahi hai."
"Steel ki chammach hai wo bhi hamare ghar ki. Aisa kaho ke hum dono ek he chammach se khaa rahe hai. Dosto me itna toh chalta he hai. Waise dekho jara ab Afsana ke aur maje kaise leti hu.", Idhar Afsana ke sath Aarti Alka bhi plate uthaye chali aayi aur teeno he table par plate rakhti sofe par baith gayi.
"Afsu, aaj ghar pe tumhe chhodne Aarti aayi thi?", Ye sawaal sunn kar Aarti ne seedha he naa bol diya aur Afsana bagle jhaankne lagi.
"Wo hum pichli seat par baith kar aaye the baaji. Barabar nahi baithe."
"Oh meri gudiya tum sachmuch he bahot kachi ho.", Zubeidaa ke sath is baar Alka bhi hansne lagi thi.
"Kaha tha na maine tumhe ki Zubeidaa didi taang khinchti hai aur tum serious leti ho ye sab. Majaak kar rahi hai toh tumhe bhi sath dena chahiye.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Afsana ne bade he dhime se kaha.
"Hum majaak nahi kar sakte. Baaji badi hai wo kar sakti hai."
"Hey bhagwan. Yar Afsana tum toh sachmuch he mom ho. Har waqt bematlab pighalti rehti ho. Zubeidaa didi, isko banao thoda apne jaisa.", Aarti ne bhi ab Afsana ko tokte hue apne baat kahi. Lekin Afsana ne jab Zubeidaa aur Arjun ko ek he chammach bari bari se prayog karte dekha toh wo bas unhe he dekhne lagi.
"21vi sadi hai ye mohtarma aur Arjun hamara dost. Janti hu kya dekh rahi ho lekin tumhe toh ek plate me tabhi khana hai jab rishta ho. Bhai samajh kar bhi toh khaa sakti thi.", Zubeidaa alag he teer chalati thi aur yaha Arjun ki jagah ab Afsana nishane par aa gayi.
"Hum inhe bhai kaise bana le baaji? Aarti ke chhote bhai hai ye aur hamari dosti hai Aarti ke sath.", Apni baat par he Afsana fans chuki thi aur Alka khana chhod kar hansne lagi. Arjun ko thaska laga toh Zubeidaa ne hanste hue paani ka gilas uski taraf kiya.
"Arre bacho, nashta toh araam se karo. Phir hans bol lena.", Aunty garam poodiyan sabki plate me rakhne lagi toh Afsana ko khamosh dekh Zubeidaa ki taraf dekhne lagi.
"Ammi.. aapki ye ladli Arjun ko bhai bhi nahi keh rahi aur dost bhi nahi maan rahi. Batao ab iska kya kare? Car me Arjun ke sath toh aayi lekin pichli seat par baith kar. Hahaha.. Oooii.. maa.. bas.. aur nahi khana ab.", Zubeidaa ne naa kar di aur uski baat sunn kar Aunty ji ne bhi hanste hue sar pe chapat laga di.
"Meri gudiya nadaan hai tumhare jaisi hansod nahi jo kuch bhi bolti rehti hai. Afsana bitiya, tum dil par matt liya karo kisi baat ko. Sab hansi-majaak he kar rahe hai toh shamil hua karo."
"Ammi, hum naraaj nahi hai. Wo baaji ki baat samajh nahi aayi thi. Waise hum Arjun se bade hai na?", Afsana ke aisa kehne par Aunty ji ke chehre par ek pyaari si muskaan aa gayi thi. Beti ke sar ko sehlate hue unhone kaha.
"Hum-umar ho sabhi hamare liye toh. Ye Zubeidaa bhi tumse chhoti he hai, dekhti nahi har waqt kaise masti karti rehti. Arjun beta, sabji ya senvaiyaan chahiye ho toh bol dena. Aur jitni yaha rakhi hai wo lajmi khatam honi chahiye."
"Aunty ji, mere toh khatam ho gayi aur peit bhi bhar gaya. Ye Zubeidaa didi ki jo keh rahi thi ki unhe khana pasand nahi aaya. Jyada teil aur ghee dala hai aapne.", Afsana ye baat bhi hairat se sunn rahi thi.
"Aap baaji par iljaam laga rahe hai? Inhone toh aisa kuch bhi nahi kaha hamare saamne aur ammi baaji barbar inke sath he khaa rahi thi.", Ab Zubeidaa Arjun ke hath par taali deti hui hansne lagi thi aur aunty ji ne sar pe hath rakh liya.
"Tum sachmuch bahot bholi ho beti. Arjun Zubeidaa se majaak kar raha tha aur tumne baat apne upar le kar khud ko fir se sabit kar dia. Dekho Zubeidaa ko jara.", Aunty hansti hui rasoighar me chali gayi toh is baar Arjun he bol utha.
"Aapke yaha aise galat iljaam lagane ki saja kya hoti hai? Pata hota toh aisi gustakhi nahi karte.", Arjun ke aisa kehte he Alka ne hanste hue Afsana ko apne sath laga liya.
"Pata chala ke sabke sath rehne par kitna maja aata hai. Dekho khana bhi ho gaya aur hajam bhi. Zubeidaa didi, thoda tayaar karke bhejna jara Afsana ko, waha aap jaise he hai sab jo mauka nahi chhodte."
"2 din sambhal lena meri behan ko tum log. Phir mere aane ke baad mil kar madam ki class lagayenge.", Ye baat chal he rahi thi ki Arjun hath dhone ke liye uth khada hua. Afsana abhi bhi Alka ke sath lagi hui sharma rahi thi.
"Bete washbasin is taraf hai.", Aunty ne saaf toliya dete hue Arjun ko jagah dikhai aur Zubeidaa bhi thoda aage he bartan dhone ki jagah par plate rakhne lagi. Is baar phir wahi manoram gubbare dabte hue bahar nikle aur Arjun ki najar anyaas he waha padd gai. Turant Arjun ne dhyaan chalte paani par laga liya. Zubeidaa bhi hath dhone kareeb aayi toh chehre par fir se laali thi.
"Ab meri koyi galti nahi thi.", Arjun itna keh kar ek tarah hat kar toliye se hath paunchne laga.
"Meri galti thi matlab? Najre rokna seekho janaab."
"Rokta toh jyada bura lagta aapko aur aisa karna bhi galat hai toh hata li.", Arjun itna bol kar wapis chal diya.
"Bade he unche darje ke dheeth ho, kasam se.", Hansti hui Zubeidaa bhi wapis aa gayi thi aur ab Arjun ne jaane ki ijajat maangi toh Afsana aur Zubeidaa uske he dekhne lagi. Aunty ji ne thodi der rukne ka kaha lekin safar ki baat samajhte hue unhone koyi zidd nahi ki. Lekin abhi bhi Afsana chori chori Arjun ko dekh rahi thi, chehre par thodi pareshani thi jo Alka he bhaanp saki par wo bhi kuch boli nahi.
"Atcha aunty ji samay se aap sabhi log pahuch jarur jana.", Aarti ne gale milte hue kaha aur Alka ko bhi aunty ne aise he sneh diya. Arjun aashirwad le kar chalne laga toh Zubeidaa ne hath thaam liya.
"Janaab hum phone karenge aane se pehle, khatir dari me kami hui toh saja milegi."
"Aapka jara bhi kasht nahi hoga, iska poora khayaal rakhenge.", Arjun ne ye kehte hue ek baar Afsana ko bhi dekh lia. Zubeidaa aur aunty ji Arjun ke sath he bahar chal diye aur Afsana Aarti-Alka ke sath unke peeche. Ab kahi wo safed billi Arjun ko najar aayi thi bahar aangan me aate he. Uchalti hui wo Zubeidaa ki goad me aa chadhi. Darwaje se bahar aate he Arjun ne Alka-Aarti ke liye car ke darwaje khole aur dekhne laga.
"Jald milte hai Afsana. Chalne se pehle phone kar dena ya jab shehar me entry karo toh PCO se bata dena. Koyi na koyi lene aa he jayega.", Hath milane ke baad Aarti aur Alka car me baithi aur unke baad Arjun bhi steering wali seat par aa gaya. Is baar usne Afsana ko hath hila kar bye kiya tha, Aunty aur Zubeidaa ke palatne par. Afsana ke chehre par bhi ek hansi aa gayi thi.

Emergency case aane ki wajah se Shankar ji ki duty bhi samay se pehel shuru ho gayi thi. Bhuppi ke yaha se 5 baje wapis apne ghar aane ke baad nashta karte he wo 7 baje sarkari hospital ke operation theatre me ek gambhir halat me laaye gaye vyakti ki silaai me jutt gaye the. Ye ek naujawaan yuvak tha jo badi machine ki chapet me aane se marnasan haalat me idhar laya gaya tha. 3 bottle khoon chadhane ke sath sath poore sharir par takriban sava so taanke lagaye gaye the. 3 ghante baad Shankar ji bahar nikle toh wo yuvak ab khatre se bahar tha aur filhal kritrim roop se oxygen lagayi gayi thi. (9 May 1998, Shaniwar)
"Doctor sahab, aapne hamare zindagi ka sahar bacha liya. Aap hamare liye sakshat bhagwan ho doctor sahab. Hum gareeb logo ke pas toh apne bete ko bachane ke liye footi kaudi na thi lekin aapne jaan bachane ke sath ye paise ka bojh bhi hum par aane na diya. Main zindagi bhar gulami karne ko tayar hu aapki.", Ye kareeb 50 saal ka behaal sa vyakti apne bete ki jaan bachne par Shankar ji ke paanv me he lipat gaya. Aankhon se aansuon ki nadiyaan beh rahi thi aur vyaktitva se he maloom chalta tha is gareeb ki dayniya haalat ka.
"Dekho bhai tumhara beta isliye bach gaya kyonki tum samay se usko yaha le aaye. Maine sirf apna kaam kiya hai aur rahi baat paise ki toh wo main kafan ke sath toh upar leke jaa nahi sakta. Tum nishchint raho aur yaha uski dekhbhal ke liye uchit log hai. Is waqt tumhe apni dharampatni ke sath hona chahiye. Aage ilaaj ke kharche ki bhi matt sochna.", Shankar ji ne us vyakti ko dono baaju se pakad kar upar uthate hue samjhaya. Phir wahi pas me lagi 4 kursiyon me se ek par baithate hue ek nurse ko apne pas bula liya.
"Sister, inki details bhar lo aur patient ke care-taker me mera naam mention kar dena. Aur haan, inke liye canteen se chai nashta jarur mangwa dena. Ab aap himmat rakhiye aur nashte ke baad apne ghar chale jana, bete ki maa ko bhi fikar hogi. Chalta hu.", Shankar ji ke itna karne par ab us vyakti ke pas badle me kehne ko kuch bhi shesh na bacha tha. Apne khoon se sane angoche ko dono hatho me thame wo hath jodd kar bas bheegi aankhon se unka abhaar jatata raha. Shankar ji kandha thapthapate hue apne cabin me chale gaye.
"Uncle ji, ye hamare senior doctor hai Shankar ji aur inse kaabil surgeon toh yaha koyi nahi hai. Sabse badi baat hai ki sir khud he ab aap ke ladke ki jimmewari lenge toh ghabrane ki jarurat nahi. Chai pijiye aap, main abhi kisi ke hath nashta bhijwati hu. Sath wale kamre me baith kar pehle kuch kha lijiye.", Nurse ne chai pakdane ke sath he Shankar ji ki poori jaankari de di.
"Doctorni ji wo sahab toh hamare liye bhagwan ka he avtaar hai. Aapka bhi bahot dhanyawad lekin nashte ki jarurat nahi. Iski maa ko lene jaa he raha hu toh ghar pe he kar lunga. Waise bhi koyi itcha nahi hai.", Aadmi ne hath jodd kar mana kiya toh nurse ne aage dabaav nahi diya. Wahi Shankar ji ke cabin me Sangwan pehle he intjaar karta mila.
"Yar Shankar teri toh chutti thi aaj ki. Aur ye sunn ne me aaya ke jiska abhi tu ilaaj kar raha tha uska sara kharcha tu khud utha raha hai?", Yaha bhi chai ki chuskiya chal rahi thi.
"Chacha ke 10 hospital se mahine ka 30 lakh milta hai mujhe. Ek lakh kisi gareeb ki jaan bachane me kaam aa jaye toh kya nuksaan hai bhai? Waise wo bhi toh dasva hissa logo ke muft ilaaj me he lagate hai. Ye toh dasva hissa bhi nahi. Waise tu yaha kyu gaand marwane aa gaya chhuti ke din? Meri toh chal haajri CMO ne lagwa rakhi hai agle Shanivar aur Eitwar ki bhi.", Shankar ke aisa kehne par Param ne ajeeb sa chehra banate hue kaha.
"Ghar me saans na li jaati jabse Ruchi aayi hai. Main toh raat bhi bahar seedhi laga ke seedha upar gaya tha lugaai ke kamre me. Savere baapu 4 baje kisi ke phone se bahar nikalan lage toh jaate hue meri supari bhi dete gaye. Saare dhakke khaane ke baad tere ghar gaya toh pata laga sahab yaha hai. Waise thode bahot kaam toh tu atche karta hai Shankar, shakal dekh ki ni lagta lekin aadmi ek number hai.", Param maje le raha tha aur Shankar hans raha tha uske sath.
"Wo sab chhod aur ye bata ke Inder aur Umed abhi bhi tere farmhouse par he hai kya? Meri toh baat he nahi unse. Kal kuch jyada he over ho gaya tha main aur 8-9 ghante soya he raha Bhuppi ke ghar. Maa gussa kar rahi thi savere jab Inder ko mere sath nahi dekha toh.", Shankar ki apne chhote bhai ke liye parwah hamesha se he thi aur aaj toh jhaad bhi atchi khaasi mili thi apni maa se kyonki Narinder 2 din me ghar raha he kitna tha.
"Wo toh ghar pe he tha abhi jab main tujhse milne gaya tha udhar. Bahar aangan me he taai ji (Kaushalya ji) uske sar ki maalish kar rahi thi aur tau ji ke sath wo Shashtri ji bhi Inder se baatein kar rahe the hans hans ke. Mujhe toh kahi se na taai ji gusse me dikhi. Waise tu thoda ghar raha kar abhi jitne shaadi ka kaam hai. Abhi market chalega?", Param ne sara vritaant keh sunaya aur market jaane ka poocha toh jaise Shankar ko kuch aur bhi yaad aa gaya.
"Yar aaj mujhe Richa ko lene jana hai aur ye 11 baje jaruri operation bhi hai. Aur raat ko ghar nahi raha toh maa is baar maaf nahi karne wali.", Shankar ne apni sthiti bataai toh Sangwan bhi kuch sochne laga. Kuch pal baad usne he raaye di.
"Operation dono mil kar karte hai aur uske baad main Richa ko le aata hu agar tujhe theek lage toh. Nahi toh tu aana jana kar sakta hai, jyada time matt rukna."
"Lata aise toh wapis aane nahi degi aur 2 baje niklunga toh 7-8 baje se pehle wapis aane se raha. Tu lene gaya toh Richa toh aa he jayegi par uski maa ne mera jeena haraam kar dena hai. Aur aaj toh maine abhi tak usko phone bhi nahi kiya."
"Tu har roj phone karta hai Lata ko abhi tak?", Ab thoda Sangwan ke chehre par aashcharya ke bhaav the.
"Savere 9 baje se pehle aur shaam ko jab duty se wapis jaane lagta hu toh karta he hu. Ab itna bhi nahi karunga toh usko bura lagega. Pehli he bechari ki zindagi me kuch bacha nahi hai aur ab main bhi dur rehne lagu toh dil toot nahi jayega? Bahot parwah aur pyaar karti hai bhai wo bas halaat ki maari hai aur main chaah kar bhi usko wo khushiyan nahi de pa raha jo uska haq hai.", Shankar ki itni pyaar bhari darshnik baatein sunte he Sangwan ke chehre par ghor narajgi chha gayi.
"Chutiya hai be tu toh wo bhi chaman chutiya. Kaunsa haq be aur insaan apni haalat ka jimmewar khud hota hai na ki ye samaaj. Bhosdike najar na aata ke teri ab 3 betiyan aur ke beta hai Rekha bhabhi se? Unko tune lund haq diya jo tere naam ka sindhoor lagane ke bawjood teri andekhi ka shikar hai 23 saalo se. Dekh Shankar, tu aur main college ke pehle din se sath hai aur ek dusre ke harek raaj-samasyaye saanjhi hai. Tu mujhe Anni ki ehmiyat samjha sakta hai lekin apni biwi ke astitva ko khud nahi maanta.", Ant me Sangwan ne he apni awaaj neeche karte hue Shankar ko wahi samjhaya jo usne Sangwan ko kaha tha.
"Rekha ke pas poora pariwar hai bhai aur maine har jarurat poori ki hai uski lekin Lata mera pyaar hai jiski badtar haalat ka jimmewar aadha main bhi hu. Shaadi mujhse nahi hui lekin jiske sath hui usko maine he khatam kar diya. Antarman pe hamesha se yahi bojh hai ke sabki najar me toh maine he apni chahat ke liye usko vidhwa bana diya. Ab tu mujhe chutiya samajhta hai ya gaandu lekin sach yahi hai ke main he kasoorwar hu Lata ki zindagi ko narak banane ke liye. Bas isliye jo thodi bahot khushiyan main usko de sakta hu wo un par uska poora haq hai. Rekha bade ghar se hai aur yaha pariwar me bhi ek tarah se maa ne usko he sabkuch saunp rakha hai. Dekha jaaye toh Rekha sabse jyada sukhi hai jo har taraf uska khayal rakhne wale log hai."
"Sahi kehta hai bhai tu ki wo sukhi mahila hai. Itni sukhi hai ki wo sawaal he nahi karti kabhi. Main koyi doodh ka dhula insaan nahi hu Shankar lekin ek baar jara ye soch ki agar aurat ko pati-sukh na mile toh uski halat kya hogi? Agar aurat sanskaro me bandhi rahe toh wo samay se pehle he marr jaati hai avsaad, mansik kasht aur jaane kitni he jatil bimariyon se. Avsaad grast dukhi mann ek dheema zehar hai dost aur jitne log bhabhi ke aas-pas hai wo unhe tere wali khushi nahi de sakte. Waise mujhe toh lagta hai ab der ho chuki hai kyonki itni lambi andekhi ke baad bhabhi tujhse pyaar nahi kar paayengi. Waise bhi aap jaise Harishchandra ne toh pehli raat he unhe bata diya tha ke wo ghar ki bahu hai aur tera pyaar koi aur. Chal operation ki tayaari karte hai aur tujhe jaisa thik lage kar. Rekha bhabhi ka kuch ho nahi sakta kyonki tu toh ujde sansaar me hariyali lagane me vyast hai itne saalo se.", Aaj Sangwan ka mann buri tarah vyathit ho gaya tha. Uski bua ji ki maut avsaad se hui thi aur kaaran tha fufa ki ayaashi aur patni ki andekhi. Shankar maloom nahi tha ki aaj he Sangwan ki bua ki barsi hai aur wo ghar pe isliye he nahi ruk saka tha. Kuch der baad dono he dost bina jyada khinch-taan ke apne kaam par lag chuke the.

Arjun dopahar ko 1 baje se kuch pehle he wapis ghar pahuch chuka tha. Sara samaan Sanjiv bhaiya aur apni behno ki madad se car se nikal kar andar pahuchane ke baad apni chachi ki bagal me he leit kar araam karne laga toh Narinder chacha bhi idhar chale aaye. Kamre me ab Priyanka Komal samaan sahi kar rahi thi aur Sanjiv bhaiya bhi kursi par baithe the.
"Toh apni chachi maa ka khajana le he aaye aur wo bhi jaise harek cheej. Safar kaisa raha?", Narinder ji dekh rahe the ki unki biwi bade pyaar se Arjun ka sar sehla rahi thi aur wo bhi purn araam ki sthiti me tha.
"Nahi chacha ji, koyi dikkat nahi aayi aur gaanv wale raste se jyana toh safar ka pata bhi nahi chala. Waise mera dil tha aapki motorcycle bhi leke aane ka, shaadi ke baad jarur le aaunga.", Arjun ki baat sunn kar Narinder ji bhi muskura diye. Unhe bhi apni yamaha badi pasand thi.
"Jab dil kare le aana yar. Wo tumhari he hai ab kyonki mujhe toh ye Bullet pasand aa gayi hai.", Wo jaise Arjun ke maje le rahe the aisa kehte hue.
"Mujhe toh ab na motorcycle chaiye na car. Cycle thik hai apne liye aur baaki kahi jana ho toh aap aur bhaiya hain he.", Ab Sanjiv bhi apne bhai ki baat par hans raha tha jaise usko pata tha ki Arjun chacha se fansne wala nahi.
"Yar mujhe bhi kabhi apne sath shehar ghumane le chal tum dono. Na Sanjiv kahi leke jata hai aur na tum. Aur tum dono aapas me he lage rehte ho. Itna boodha bhi nahi hu, dost toh bana he sakte ho.", Narinder chacha ki baat Arjun samajh raha tha aur jaise usne bhaiya ko aankho se he ishara kiya.
"Lunch ke baad chalte hai chacha ji. Aapko aaj library leke chalte hai aur uske baad main ghar he rahunga ya jyada se jyada stadium.", Arjun jaise aaj apne chacha se bahot kuch sanjha karna chahta tha. Aur apni maa ki awaaj se turant uth khada hua jo usko dhoondti hui andar he chali aayi.
"Beta kapde badal lo aur khana ban chuka hai aap sab bhi dining table par aa jao. Aaj devar ji ki pasand ka he bana sabkuch.", Arjun ne apni maa ke hath se kapde lete hue unka gaal chooma aur bathroom chala gaya. Wahi Sanjiv bhi apni jagah se uth kar bahar chala aaya hath mooh dhone.
"Bhabhi, khushbu aa gayi thi bharva bhindi ki. Ek aap he ho jo ye sabji bana deti ho mere liye, warna maa ne toh hath he khade kar rakhe hai aur hamari begam sahiba toh bhindi tabhi banayngi jab main khud kaat ke du. Sath me aur kya banaya hai bhabhi.?", Narinder ke chehre par ek bache jaise khushi ki bhaav the aur Rekha ji bhi thoda khush thi is waqt.
"Rekha ne aapke liye pyaaj wale karele, kaali daal, aalu wala raita aur kheer bhi banai hai. 2 ghante se lagi hui hai ye rasoi me akeli aur aapki ye laadli betiyan toh kapde-samaan dekhte he unme kho gayi. Rekha, savere ka jimma abse Komal ke sath mera rahega. Koyi teen paanch nahi bas.", Krishna ji bister se uth kar apne kapde vyavasthit karti hui thodi narajgi se boli jis par Rekha ji apne devar ko dekhne lagi.
"Kuch din jaise bhabhi kehti hai waise raho Krishna. Kaam karne se koyi mana nahi kar raha lekin abhi bheed-bhaad wala samay rahega toh tum bagiche me Arjun ke sath mehnat karo ya shaam ko park me tehalne chali jaya karo. Garmi ka samya hai jisme tumhe thoda bachaav rakhna hai aur bhabhi tumhari chhoti behan hone ke sath sath jethani bhi hai. Har waqt jidd nahi karni. Chalo aaj sath me he khana khaate hai.", Ab Krishna ji narajgi se Rekha ko dekh rahi thi jo muskura rahi thi lekin Krishna ji ke bhi chehre par ekake muskaan aa he gayi.
"Ye devar-bhabhi ki saajish main samajhti hu. Rekha tu mil jara akele me fir dekhti hu tujhe atche se. Badi aayi jethani aur aap bhi ye bhabhi ke pallu se bandhe rehte ho na, mera beta batayega aapko. Haan keh deti hu.", Jameen par kadam rakhne se pehle he Narinder ji ne wo naram chappalo ki jodi apni biwi ke charno ke niche rakh di.
"Bhaagwan tumhare bete ka toh mukabla hamare pita ji bhi nahi kar sakte phir hum kis khet ki kaddu hai. Chalo ab khana khaate hai phir gaa lena apni raam-katha bhabhi ke sath.", Hanste muskurate hue Narinder ji apni biwi sang bahar chale aaye jaha Sanjiv pehle he baitha tha. Chehre par kuch soch thi jo Arjun ke barabar aate he dhoomil ho gayi.
"Kya irada hai chhote?"
"Bhaiya chacha ko jaankari saunp dete hai."
"Kisi haal me nahi bhai. Tu bas waise he ishare deta reh aur hum dono he chalte hai tere thikane par. Teri file ke badle mere pas bhi poori file hai Karam Singh ke ghar mile samaan ki. Wo Krishneshwar dada ji par he gola bana tha.", Sanjiv aur Arjun ki ye baatchit apne he andaaj me ho rahi thi aur Narinder ji rasoi me apna khana khud daal rahe the jab sab unki pasand ka bana tha.
"Thik hai toh pehal chacha ji ko he karne dete hai. Agar inhone kuch bataya toh bas aap apne hisab se dekhna. Waise chhote dada ji ki jaankari apne thaanedar sahab ko bhi poori nahi hai.", Arjun ab khamosh ho gaya tha jab Narinder ji idhar chale aaye aur Krishna ji Madhuri ke sath baaki sabke liye khana parosne lagi. Aaj ka din Arjun ke liye jyada he vyast rehne wala tha. Sanjiv aur Arjun ki baaton se itna toh pata chal chuka tha ki ye dono he baaki sabko chugga chugwa rahe hai aur chawal ke daane dikhane se pehle khud he chakh kar aage diye ja rahe ha

Update 144
Chugga (2)
Abhi dopehar ka bhojan chal he raha tha aur ghar ke aangan me ye car aa ruki. Sanjiv bhaiya ki najar kheer khaate Arjun par padi jo muskura raha tha aur wahi Narinder ji ke bhi hath ruk gaye apni biwi ko niwala khilate hue jo Sanjiv-Arjun ko dekhne lage the.
"Umed chacha ji ki gaadi hai.", Arjun ne jaise he jawaab diya waise he galiyare se chalta hua wo sadhe 6 feet ka lamba raubdar muskurata vyakti idhar chala aaya. Sath he Vinita bhi chust jeans aur safed kameej pehne unke barabar chalti aayi. Umed ji ke hath me apni laadli ka ye bag bhi tha, hafte bhar ke kapdo wala.
"Waah bhai tum chacha bhatija toh bada jordar connection banaye ho. Arjun ne toh car ki awaaj se he bata diya ke tum ho.", Narinder ji ne apne dusri taraf ki kursi kheench kar Umed ko baithne ka ishara diya wahi Vinita ne Krishna ji aur chacha ke gale me dono taraf hath daalte hue chachi ka gaal choomte hue abvidan kiya. Wo bhi uske sar ko apne sath lagati hui bhatiji ko dularne lagi.
"Chacha ji ye Aaru koyi itna bhi tej nahi jo aisi halki awaaj se gaadi ka bata de. Wo toh Umed chacha ki aadat hai ki gate se pehle hamesha 2 horn bajate hai. Waise horn ki awaaj jarur Aaru atche se pehchanta hai.", Ye Alka thi bahar se he aayi thi inke peeche. Aur ab Arjun bhi hans raha tha kyonki Alka ki baat bilkul uchit thi.
"Hahaha.. toh meri gudiya is Munaa se bhi jyada tej hai? Jeeti raho aur sada aise he khush raho. Waise mujhe toh shaam ko aana tha lekin suna ke Rekha bhabhi ne aaj bharva bhindi banai hai toh lalach me thoda jaldi aa gaya.", Umed ji ne ek taraf Alka ka hath thaam rakha tha dusri taraf wo Narinder ji ko dekh hans rahe the jo bina roti he bhindi ko khaane me lage the. Madhuri ne bhi turant apne chacha ke saamne daal, bhindi aur karele ki plate laga di garma fooli hui roti ke sath.
"Aap khaao chachi ke hath ki bhindi aur main jara Ritu-Alka ke sath upar chali.", Vinita ne ek baar bas Arjun ko dekha tha aur Alka ko sath liye wo upar badh chali, bag ke sath. Alka bhi dhimi awaaj me kuch batati ja rahi thi apni is badi behan ko aur Vinni hansti hui upar wali manjil ke is pichle bhaag me chali aayi. Niche thodi he der me khaane par sabhi ladkiyan he baithi thi ab. Khaane ke turant baad he Narinder ji aur Umed ji jaruri kaam bata kar bahar chale gaye the aur ab Arjun Sanjiv ke pas waqt tha akele me baatchit ka. Car me Sandhu ji ke naam ka card rakhte hue Arjun ne wo file bhi sath le li. Steering par ab Sanjiv bhaiya the aur car university ke raste badh chali.
"Toh aapko lagta hai ki hum is raaj ko suljha sakte hai? Yaha toh itni uljhan hai ki dhaage ka ek sira pakado toh aage chal kar 4 seere aur nikal aate hai. Pata nahi ye sab alag alag ghatnaye kyu ek sath judi hui lag rahi hai bhaiya.", Arjun ne he cielo me chhayi chuppi todi toh Sanjiv ke chehre par chhayi soch bhi utar gayi.
"Jaanta hai chhote ye sab seere kyun pakad nahi aa rahe? Ek toh hum is peedhi me hai jaha aate aate bahot kuch gayab ho chuka hai ya phir pichli peedhi ke logo ne khud ko badal liya hai. Aur jitne log utni baatein sunn ne ko mil rahi hai lekin poora toh kisi ko bhi nahi pata. Lohan ne jo bataya wo ab tak sabse jyada khulase wala tha toh Mishra ki kathani jo mujhe Narinder chacha ne bataai wo thodi alag thi. Jhooth dono he nahi bol sakte the kyonki sach batana majburi tha. Tujhe jo pata chala usme bhi common log wahi the par unki kahani bhi alag.", Sanjiv bhaiya ki baat apni jagah sahi thi aur Arjun ki khojbin bhi.
"Karam Singh wala sach kya kehta hai bhaiya?", Arjun ne baat ko ek aur disha dene ke maskad se kaha tha lekin sambandh iska bhi kahi na kahi poore prakaran se tha.
"Karam Singh ne bhi jaise samay ke paar ka khel soch rakha tha Chhote. Ek tarah se itni saari jaankari usne apne ghar me sahej kar rakhi jiska matlab ye toh nahi ho sakta na ki wo yaadein ho bas? Wo jaanta tha ki agar usko kuch bhi hota hai toh uske jimmewar log wahi honge jinke sath takraav hai. Khojbin bhi hogi aur wo saab cheej uske ghar se he milengi jo kayi zindagiyo me bhuchaal laa sakti hai.", Ab kahi Arjun ka bhi dhyaan is prakaran par gaya. Sanjiv bhaiya ne bilkul sahi baat kahi thi ki yaha chugga toh Karam se daal gaya hai pehle se. Arjun ko khamosh dekh bhaiya muskura diye.
"Chhote, pareshan matt ho. Aaj bas jitni jaankari dono ke pas hai wo badal le, uske baad is maamle par kaam tab tak nahi karenge jab tak khud thaanedar ji apne mooh se na kahe. Wo khanjar shaahi pariwar se tha aur rivolver German, jiksa handle ivory (haathi daant) coated tha. Matlab wo bhi shaahi sadasya ya unke saaman kisi bade pariwar ki. Kaagaj toh aur bhi dhamakedar the, chal kar dekh lena khud he. Waise ye tera adda aur kisko pata hai?", Bhaiya baaton ke beech he university wale kamre ke baare me puchne lage.
"Study ke liye hai ye room bhaiya aur agar kuch sambhal kar rakhna ho toh bilkul thik jagah. Waise shahi pariwar ke sath toh hamare pariwar ka bhi nata raha hai. Kuch naya naam mila kya aapko un kaagajo me.?", Is saaf-suthri sadak par jab car andar aayi toh hamesha ki tarah surakshakarmi ne muskura kar Arjun ki taraf hath hilaya aur pratiuttar me Arjun ne bhi waisa he kiya. Aage Arjun he bhaiya ko batate hue international hostel ki parking me ek taraf car lagwate hue is behad shaant aur thande galiyare me chal diya.
"Naam toh saamne 3-4 aaye hai chhote. Aur jaisa mera dil keh raha hai ye sabhi naam he poori kahani bata sakte hai. Neelima naam ka ulekh tha ek chitthi me aur wo Sarang dwara damyanti ko likhi gayi thi. 19 August 1973 ko, bhanji lagti thi wo Sarang ki. Lohan ne bhi iska jikar kiya tha aur sath me Shalini bua ka bhi. Neelima ko dhoondna hai toh Shalini bua se madad leni hogi aur unse baat karna kaam bigaad dega. Waise badi aalishan jagah hai ye chhote aur tu yaha pehchaan bana chuka hai atchi khaasi.", Counter par baithe aadmi ne bhi jab Arjun ko dur se he hath hilaya toh Arjun ne bhi waisa he kiya. Chalte he wo is aakhiri kamre ke bahar aa pahuche. Arjun ne chaabi se tala kholte he andar ki light jala di. Darwaja wapis band karte hue usne bhaiya ko fridge se paani ki bottle nikal kar dete hue apni baat kahi.
"Ye jagah ab sirf aap he jaante hai bhaiya aur meri atchi dost hai university ke pramukh logo se jo idhar kaam karte hai. Waise Shalini bua se main he baat karunga, lag toh mujhe bhi raha tha ki Ajju chacha ke baare me jaankari wahi de sakti hai.", AC chalu karte hue Arjun ne wahi diwar par lage poster ko sarkate hue ye adrishya si khidki khol kar kuch kagaj nikale aur sabkuch pehle jaisa karta hua wo joote khol kar bister par aa baitha.
"Badi khufiya jagah banaye baitha hu tu yaha.", Bhaiya muskura rahe the wo sab dekh kar.
"Bahot kuch hai yaha jo dikhta nahi hai bhaiya. Aap jara ye kagaj dekho main computer start kar du.", Ab Sanjiv bhaiya ke pas Punjab wali jaankari aur ye kagaj the jinhe wo bade gor se dekhne lage. Arjun ne yaha har pariwar ka jikar kiya hua tha aur sabse aakhri panne par khudke pariwar ka. Waha Rameshwar Sharma ke baad ek khaali box me prashan-chinh tha aur uske baad ek he vyakti ke 2 naam. Krishan Chand Sharma aur Krishneshwar Sharma. Iske aage Arjun ko bas apne chacha Vinod ka pata tha baaki dono bua ke aage naam ki jagah khaali thi. Sanjiv ko wo naam pata tha aur ab jaise Arjun ko bhi poori jaankari Jagtar se milne ke baad wo pata chal gaye the. Monitor par Window 98 ka nishaan jaane ke baad Arjun internet chalu karke wapis bister par aa baitha.
"Ye chhote dada ke aise naam likhne ka matlab? Tujhe kya lagta hai ke ye alag alag naam likhne me bhi koyi fasaad hai? Aur dada ji log 2 bhai he the fir ye swaal is ghere me kyon? Tujhe lagta hai ki aur bhi bhai-behan honge?", Sanjiv bhaiya ke kauthool ko dekh Arjun ne sar haan me hilaate hue ab wo file utha li jo bhaiya ne tayar ki thi Karma Singh ke ghar se mili jaankari ke sath. Kuch chitthi-patra aur tasvire unhone waha se gayab karke yahi rakh li thi. Arjun panne palat kar sab dhyaan se dekh raha tha. Koyi 5 minute baad wo bola.
"Bhaiya wajah toh nahi pata lekin baad aisi hai ke humko abhi tak padd-dada ji ke samay ki saari jaankari nahi hai. Dil toh kehta hai ke shayad unke aur bhi bache the lekin apne dada ji ko dekh kar vichar badal jata hai. Unke aur bhai-behan ho toh swabhavik hai ki pariwar me pata hota. Aur ek maje ki baat suno, ye Damyanti Sarang ki kya lagti hai aapko?", Arjun baat sunane ke sath he sawaal kar gaya jis par Sanjiv ne turant uttar diya.
"Rakhail. Kyun ki Damyanti ke pati ke baare me koyi jaankari nahi mili lekin Sarang ke sath uska naata gehra tha aur bahot se kaagaz ishara karte bhi hai."
"Atcha toh fir yaha Chandar aur Karam ke judwa bhai hone ki baat hai lekin unke baad Bindiya bhi paida hui. Kahi bhi Sarang ka jikar nahi, shaahi rajkumar bhi kayi vivah kar he sakta tha. Damyanti naam bhi rasookh wala hai aur wo hathiyaar tak shaahi the. Madhulata ki maa ke do vivah hue. Pariwar bhi koyi kami wala toh nahi tha jitna mujhe lagta hai lekin shayad wo bhi rajsi sukh chahti hongi.", Arjun ke aise sawaalo se Sanjiv bas ulajh he raha tha. Dimaag bhannaya toh seedha sawaal.
"Chhote jo kehna hai wo spasht kar. Mera dimag chakra raha hai is sab me."
"Damyanti Sarang ki behan thi bhaiya jisko 19 ki umar me mrit bataya gaya hai. Koyi pati nahi toh wo maa kaise bani? Aur kyu kahi bhi uska itna ullekh nahi hai par Sarnag ne uski poori hifajat ki hai ye saaf hai. Ab ek aur baat kahu, dil thaam lijiyega.", Arjun ke is khulase se toh Sanjiv ke chehre par 12 he baj gaye. Wo bas mundi haan me hila gaya.
"Chhote dada ji ne kuch aisa kiya tha jis se unhe ghar me he baandh diya gaya. Shayad iski wajah aur ghatna apen thaanedar ji ko bhi nahi maloom, wo police se pehle fauj me the. Ab kahani toh yahi ishara karti hai ke Sarang ke khaas dost Krishneshwar ji he sab kaand ki wajah hai.", Sanjiv abhi bhi hairat me tha aur Arjun uth kar computer ki taraf chal diya. Email dekhne ke liye. Sanjiv ki chetna wapis aayi toh agla sawaal.
"Laajwanti kaha fit hoti hai fir is maamle me? Wo dono behne hai toh raaj-pariwar ki 2 ladkiyan gayab ho jaaye aur koyi kuch na kare? Laajwanti ne toh aisa kuch kiya bhi nahi tha jis se ijjat par baat aaye, fir wo shahi pariwar se dur aisi jamidari wali zindagi kyu jeene lagi bhala?", Arjun ek email ko padhte hue muskura raha tha. Uska chehra Sanjiv dekh toh nahi paya lekin wo bas baitha he tha.
"Kyonki Lajwanti uski behan hai he nahi bhaiya. Unhe unka pehla pati wahi se byaah kar laya tha, sach hai ya koyi aur khel lekin kahi bhi Lajwanti ke pariwar ka ullekh nahi. Haan Damyanti aur Laajwanti ka rishta bahot gehra hai aur Shabnam lagi hui hai jaanch padtal karne me. Aapko lagta nahi Shabnam ko dekh kar ki wo kitni haseen hai aur attitude khoon ke khaas hone ka ishara karta hai jaisa Bindiya ka hoga. Madhulata ghaagh aurat hai, shatir bhi jaise uska khoon milwat bhara ho. Richa papa ki wajah se alag hai apni maa aur naani se. Idhar aao aur ye dono tasvir dekho jara.", Arjun aaj jitni jaankari de raha tha wo pehle he Sanjiv ko jhakjhor chuki thi aur wo abhi bhi nahi ruk raha tha. Computer ke monitor par ye rangeen tasvir thi London ke pramukh sthaan ki aur isme jo yuvti thi ya mahila kaho, wo kahi jyada he haseen aur rubaab se bhari.
"Waah. Ye kaun hai?"
"Aap case suljhane me lage ho aur Bindiya kaaki ko bhi nahi pehchane? Ye ek aur tasvir dekho aur jara thaath bhi dekho inke.", Arjun ne dusri tasvir dikhai toh ye chehre aur seene tak ki badi tasvir thi. Bindiya ki aankehn, chehre ka kataav aur chamak bilkul Shabnam aur Muskaan jaisi thi.
"Behnchod 40 paar ki bhi ho kar ye kitni gajab hai chhote. Saali ye aurat Tarachand jaise ki rakhail kaise bani?"
"Shabnam ne bhi kiya tha is naam ke aadmi ke sath, sirf 2 baar. Aur ye Madhulata kaaki ke shikaar hai bhaiya. Bindiya ka pehla pyaar toh apne Inder chacha ji the jaisa mujhe Shabnam ne bataya aur Shabnam beti bhi Inder chacha aur Bindiya ki hai. Sarang ka dakhal jab khatam hua toh uske kuch samay baad he Bindiya desh se bahar chali gayi aur us beech wale samay me he ye Sutradhar Munni kaaki ne Bindiya ko kabje me le liya. Aap khud he socho ki Bindiya ne kabhi waha se Munni ko phone nahi kiya ulta wahi Karam Singh ya Chandarbhan se Bindiya ko sandesha bhijwati thi."
"Yaar chhote ye toh sachmuch khatarnak aurat hai. Matlab Shankar chacha ki kamjori ye Madhulata kaaki Chandro daadi ka bhi koyi raaj dabaye baithi hogi."
"Unse baat nahi kar sakte bhaiya aur filhal toh main aaj ke baad is vishaya par charcha bhi nahi karne wala. Jyada khojbin saari khushi he na khatam kar de. Aur ye Munni kaaki ke par sahi samay aane par he kaatenge, kahi jaldbaaji me aap aur main mere paap ek hathe chadh gaye toh jaane kya gati hogi apni.", Arjun iske baad kuch der yahoo messenger par he Shabnam aur Annu ke sath baat karta raha.
Sanjiv bhaiya ne ek khaali gilas utha kar ciggratte sulga li. Khidki khol kar wo peeche ye jungla ka najara karte hue file bhi padh rahe the. Arjun ki baat se ab unhe bhi ittafaaq tha ki Bindiya jo bhi hai wo par ek giri hui aurat nahi hai. Ab toh ek tarah se Shabnam bhi uski behan he thi. Dono he bhai kuch der aise he vyast rahe aur 4 bajne se pehle he wapis ghar ki taraf badh chale. Jaate hue Arjun ne usko Sandhu ji ke ghar utaarne ka kaha toh bhaiya bhi usko wahi utaar kar apne raste chal diye.
.
.
"Maa ji keh rahi thi ki tum is mahine ke baad bahar ja rahe ho? Mujhe ye baat tumse pata chalni chahiye thi. Lagta hai pyaar badalne laga hai tumhara.", Lata sansarg ke baad bathroom se khud ko saaf karke wapis bister par baithte hue Shankar ji par tanj karne lagi toh wo bas naa me gardan hilane lage. Dopehar ke is khamosh samay me bas yahi dono haveli me jaag rahe the. Baaki sabhi apne kamro me he araam farma rahe the.
"Tumhe main har baat batata hu Lata aur taai ko ye papa ne bataya hoga. Abhi toh ghar me bhi kisi ko nahi pata ki main ja raha hu. Sarkar bhej rahi hai behtar technology samajhne ke liye aur aisa mauka asaani se nahi milta. Main bhi aadhunik ilaaj me upyog hone wali machine, takneek aur tarike jaan-na chahta hu. 4 hafte ka program hai bas.", Shankar ji ke poore khulase par Lata ke chehre par pehle thode narajgi ke bhaav aaye phir achanak he wo khush ho uthi.
"Aise me toh pariwar ka bhi ek vyakti sath ja sakta hai na? Biwi bhi?", Ab sansarg ke baad thithil se pade Shankar ji ko kaha samajh aata ki unki ye preyasi kya kehna chahti hai.
"Rekha ko nahi le raha. Usko pariwar me he rehna pasand hai aur waha wo karegi bhi kya."
"Choot maarne ke waqt Lata aur biwi ka naam lo toh Rekha. Waah gajab ka doglapan hai tumhara. Arre kabi toh taras khaao mujh bechari par jo yaha barso se qaid hai.", Is gusse aur teekhi baaton ne toh Shankar ji ki neend he udaa di.
"Oh mera wo matlab nahi tha meri Chanda bas thodi thakaan thi. Tumhe leke toh main bhi jana chahta hu par waha bahot se jaankar doctor honge, unke biwiyan bhi sath hogi jo Rekha ko jaanti hai. Tumhe sath leke jana matlab pehle Taai se baat karni padegi aur ye baat jayegi papa tak. Galat ho jayega, bahot jyada galat.", Shankar ji ne apni lachaari dikhai toh Lata mann he mann kulbulane lagi thi. Chehre par bhi saaf narajgi thi.
"Mujhe alag se bhej do phir, itne paise toh tumhare pas honge he ya uske liye bhi Pandit ji ko shamil karna padega? 4 hafte main bhi sukoon le lungi aur tum yaha ka matt sochna, idhar se main nikal sakti hu.", Ab toh Shankar ji ke pas bhi koyi chahra na bacha tha.
"Tumhara passport de do, visa lagwa dunga. Lekin ehtiyaat rakhna thodi, ghar me ye bhanak bhi lagi ki tum videsh ja rahi ho wo bhi mere sath toh kohraam mach jayega. Waise bhi mere din saadhe-sati se badtar chal rahe hai. Aur yaha kuch fasaad hua toh samjho papa ne akhbaar me he nikaal dena ki is Shankar Sharma se pariwar ka koyi sambandh nahi.", Apni he baat kehte hue Shankar ke chehre par hansi aa gayi.
"Aaj bhi tum unke liye college wale ladke ho na jo har kaam maa-baap se pooch kar karta hai. Is se jyada bedakhal kya karenge jab sabkuch pehle he ek paute ke naam kar diya ho. 3 bhai ho tum aur uske baad ghar me 2 ladke lekin yaha toh sabkuch bas Arjun eklaute ke naam karke unhone ek tarah se tumhe bhi baandh he rakha hai.", Lata ki aadat kaha badal sakti thi aur pramaan de diya jayedaad aur Arjun ka jikar karke.
"Wo mera akele ka beta nahi hai Lata. Aur Sanjiv ne khud apna hissa usko diya hai Inder ke sath sath. Haan Rekha wali jayedad uske naam akele ke hui, Ritu Komal ko bhi shamil karna chahiye tha. Baaki Banwari mama toh pehle he Arjun ko waris bana gaye the aur papa ne baaki jameen kharid kar wo bhi Arjun ko he de di. Waise mujhe kuch nahi chahiye, 30 lakh mahina aata hai mujhe. Retirement ke baad 2 hospital bahot hai zindagi aish se gujarne ke liye aur baaki kayi kaam hain jinse aamdani badhne he wali hai. Tumhe har sukh de sakta hu, itni hasiyat hai meri.", Shankar ji aadatan apna bholapan dikha he gaye jaha na bete ke liye koi gussa tha aur naa jayedad ka lalach. Jarurat se jyada toh unke pas khud ki kamaai se bhi tha. Lekin Lata ek taraf jaha Shankar ki aamdan par hairaan thi wahi Rekha wali jayedad bhi Arjun ke naam sunn kar usko ab Arjun par kahi jyada gussa tha.
"Itna kama lete ho toh fir le chalo mujhe aur apni beti ko yaha se. Kahi aaj Arjun ka moh toh nahi kamjor kar raha tumhe?"
"Pagalpan kyu karti ho yar tum? Jitne taai hai itne tum yaha ho aur uske baad main tumhe shehar me alag ghar le dunga jaha har suvidha mile meri Chanda ko. Lekin dusra sach ye bhi hai ki mere liye mera pariwar hamesha pehle sthaan par rahega. Arjun mera beta hai aur mere papa duniya ke sabse sahi insaan. Unhone kuch soch kar he mere bete ko waris banaya hoga. Mera moh meri maa se hai, Inder se hai aur fir tumse."
"Matlab main teesre sthaan par hu tumhari zindagi me?"
"Pehle pe toh hamesha he maa-papa aur Inder he hai Chanda aur is baare me please kuch tippani matt karna. Ab thodi der main araam kar lu agar ijajat ho toh? Apna passport nikaal kar de dena mujhe jaane se pehle. 4 baje hai toh 6 baje tak utha dena aur Richa ko bol dena apne kapde pack kar le.", Shankar ji ne karwat lete hue aankhen band kar li. Bhojan ke baad sansarg aur upar se dopehar wala aalas bahot tha neend ke liye.
'Yahi teen logo ne zindagi narak bana di meri aur tumhe mujhse jyada wahi pasand hai. Upar se kambakht ye Arjun jaane kya cheej hai. Jabse ye zindagi me aaya hai danka he suni ja rahi hu kamine ka aur meri zindagi shamshaan banti ja rahi hai. Pata nahi is se nijaat milegi ya kamina aise he mujhe ghutan se maar dega. Ek baar niklu toh sahi is kaidkhaane se fir dekhti hu sabko.', Mann me hajaro vichar chal rahe the aur ab Madhulata ko aas thi ki wo Shankar ka istemaal karke he rahat paa sakti hai. Pata nahi ye kabootar is shikari ka chugga chugta hai koyi aur vyavdhaan paida ho jaye.

Joginder Singh Sandhu ji ka ghar bhi khushnuma mahol se bhara tha. Aaj is mahol me Arjun bhi shaamil tha aur khud Sandhu sahab bhi avkaash par the. Card-mithai dene ke baad kuch der tak baatein chalti rahi aur Arjun ki najar is jaane-pehchane chhote se kutte par padi jo ek kamre se nikal kar idhar he chala aaya.
"Ye Sam hai?", Arjun dwara naam lete he us kamre se bahar nikalti Parul bhi thoda hairaan ho gayi lekin jald he chehre par lambi muskurahat liye wo uski bagal me aa baithi.
"Toh tum Sam se Annu ke ghar mil chuke ho. Haan ye pehle uske pas bhi rehta tha kabhi kabhi aur jara tum ye batao ke kal aane wale the. Kyon nahi aaye?"
"Bhabhi, ghar ke kaam se Punjab jana pada toh nahi aa paya. Lekin aaj seedha idhar he aaya hu.", Ek taraf Arjun dwara bhabhi kehne par Parul khush thi wahi uska seedha yaha aana sunn kar bhi atcha laga. Abhi tak hall me Sandhu ji, aunty aur Parul he the Arjun ke sath. Pehle baaton ka morcha uncle aunty ke pas tha aur ab unhone jaruri kaam ka batate hue Arjun se ijajat li toh bache Parul aur Arjun. Sandhu ji apni dharampatni ke sath car me bahar chale gaye toh ab Parul thoda sehaj ho kar sofe par pasar gayi.
"Maan liya janaab tum hadd se jyada he busy ho lekin har waqt toh nahi hote hoge. Us din bhi toh apne dost ke sath tafri maar he rahe the. Waise agar Punjab wale shehar jaane ka bata dete toh main aur Charul bhi sath chal padte. XXXX nagar me Simmi ka bhi ghar hai jisko laare lagaye hue ho tum.", Dheela laal sharara aur lambi chust kameej me Parul bina makeup he gazab dhaa rahi thi. Wo alag baat thi ki dono apne rishtey ko poori izzat dete the lekin har ladki ye bhi chahti hai ki uska dost prashansha jarur kare. Seedhiyo se utar kar hall me kadam rakhti Charul ke paanv apni jagah he jamm gaye is chehre ko dekhte he.
"Alka aur Aarti didi sath thi bhabhi aur ab toh mujhe koyi khaas bhi nahi hai, jitna jaruri tha wo kar chuka hu. Aap jab chahe phone kar diya kijiye, banda seva me hajir rahega. Waisa Vikas bhaiya ne bataya tha ke aapko jaruri kaam hai kuch.", Arjun ki peeth thi Charul ki taraf aur Charul jaise mann banane me uljhi thi ki wo milte he gussa dikhaye ya samajhdari. Parul ne dekh liya tha apni behan ko aur uski najro ka peecha karte hue ab Arjun ne bhi kaale top aur chust pajame me qaid is sundari ko dekha toh bas dekhta he reh gaya.
"Wo tumhe ek baar sath chalna padega mere lekin weekdays me he. Vikas ke pas bhi time nahi hai kyonki nayi naukari hai aur ghar ki ab saari jimmewari bhi. Agar possible ho toh monday chalte hai. Chaho toh Charul ko bhi le chalenge.", Ab ye aakhir me apna naam sunn kar jhempti hui Charul bhi idhar he chali aayi. Arjun ne aankhon se hello toh kar he diya tha.
"Haan toh meri bhi chuttiyan hai aur suna hai Arjun ne car bhi li hai jiski treat dene se ye bachta aa raha hai. Waise sach kahu toh Parul ye ladka na time ka bada paband hai.", Ab Charul kursi kheench kar unke saamne he aa baithi. Samay ki pabandi wala dialogue bata raha tha ki Arjun milne ka vaada karke bhi nahi aaya.
"Paani he pila do bhabhi.", Arjun jaise is waqt Charul se baat karna chahta tha lekin Parul ki shararat usne kaha dekhi thi.
"Paani? Abhi toh piya hai aur ye le is bottle me bhi thanda paani hai. Nahi toh Charul isko thodi extra ice daal kar paani de jara.", Ye Charul bhi samajh rahi thi ki wo baat karna chahta hai aur didi pareshan kar rahi hai. Lekin usko laga chalo yahi thik hai, Arjun se thoda maja liya jaaye. Charul uth kar jaane he lagi thi ki Arjun ne kalai pakad li. Jaha Charul ki dhadkan ne raftaar pakadi wahi Parul jhoothi hairani se usko dekhne lagi.
"Nahi peena extra ice wala, aap baitho apni jagah. Aur bhabhi main aapka devar lagta hu toh sewa aapse karwani hai, inse nahi."
"Hey bhagwan kitna nirlajj hai tu Arjun. Vikas toh tujhse sharif aur sanskari batata rehta hai aur yaha meri he chhoti behan ka hath mere saamne he pakad liya.", Parul drama karti Charul ko bhi dekh rahi thi jo sharam se niche dekhne lagi.
"Oh meri hitler bhabhi, pehli mulakaat me he meri sharafat ke jhande saamne kar diye tha bhaiya ne aur aapne bhi Annu ko lapet liya tha. Aur maine inse bhi kuch baat karni hai isliye aapko kitchen tak bhej raha tha. Ek minute me batao jara main kitni baat kar lunga?", Arjun ne kalai chhod di thi aur Charul wapis kursi par baithi dono ko dekhne lagi.
"Is se dur he rahiyo Charul, jaanti hai na kitni girlfriend hai iski? Ab toh shayad number badh bhi gaya hoga. Annu, Preeti, wo basketball wali aur jaane kaun kaun.", Ye sab Parul isliye keh rahi thi kyonki Charul ne aisa he kuch Arjun ke liya kaha tha. Aur usko pata tha ke itne din se jo Charul ghar me reh rahi hai toh uski wajah Arjun he hoga lekin Arjun sorry na kahe bas.
"Aap mere liye chai he bana do aur agar isne kuch bournvita-milkshake pina hai toh wo sahi. Baaki sabki apni apni zindagi hai toh main tension nahi leti jyada.", Charul ke is kathan par Parul andar he hans rahi thi kyonki khud Parul ne dekha tha apni behan ko band kamre me makeup karte, gaane sunte aur ladkiyon wale kapde aaine ke saamne khud par laga kar dekhte hue. Arjun abhi khamosh he tha aur Parul thode gambhir chehre ke sath uth khadi hui.
"Tumhare kamre me baat kar sakti ho Arjun se lekin ye jarur dhyaan rakhna ki ye mera eklauta devar hai.", Parul ne naram shabdo me he sachet kar diya tha pichla sara majaak hatate hue. Arjun bhi jaanta tha ki Parul bhabhi uski parwah karti hai.
"Khaa nahi jaungi main aapke devar ko. Aur mere liye bhi milkshake he bana dena.", Charul uth kar khadi hui aur Arjun ko apne sath he upar chalne ka ishara kiya. Lakdi ki railing wali ye badi seedhiyan ghar ke andar se he dusri manjil tak aati thi jaha 3 kamre the. Sandhu ji ka ghar beshak 350 gaj ka tha lekin aalishan tha. Arjun bas apne se 2 kadam upar chalti Charul ko dekh raha tha aur rasoi ke pas khadi Parul ke chehre par ek alag he muskaan thi. Pehle kamre ke andar aate he Charul ne darwaje ki chitakni chadha di.
"Paanv me gir jaun toh shaanti milegi tumhe? Ya hath joddne se kaam chal jayega?", Ek pal me he Charul ke chehre par wo dard umad aaya jisko rokne ki wo bharsak koshish kar rahi thi itne dino se. Arjun dwara uski andekhi ne is kadar dard diya tha ki aankhon me motte motte aansu ek pal me bahar tapak pade. Arjun bas hairaan tha ki ye kya hua. Darwaje se peeth lagaye khadi Charul subakti hui farsh ki taraf jaane lagi toh bina soche Arjun ne wo dheela padta jism apni giraft me le liya. Har khayaal dimaag se nikal wo bas Charul ko apne chaude seene se lagaye khada tha jo fafak kar bas roye ja rahi thi.
"Shhhhh.. Maine koyi andekhi nahi ki Charul. Halaat bhi sath nahi the aur jab waqt nikaal kar stadium gaya toh tum bhi nahi mili. Main kisi pyaar karne wale ki andekhi karne ka paap nahi kar sakta.", Arjun bas peeth sehlate hue usko chup karwana chahta tha jo thoda mushkil kaam lagne laga. Charul ke aansuon ki tej raftaar ne uska kandha bhigo dia aur wo bas khamosh rahi.
"Agar tumhari andekhi karni hoti toh main yaha kyu aata? Mujhe pata chala tha ki tum ab stadium bhi nahi aa rahi isliye main aise waqt yaha aaya jab baat kar saku.", Arjun ne dono hatho me wo gora chehra thaam kar dekha toh ab waha rone ki wajah se rangat laal aur sirf aansu he the. Charul ki band aankhen abhi bhi aansu baha rahi thi jo shayad kisi aur wajah se bhi thi. Ubhre hue surkh adhar bhi aansuo se bheege dekh Arjun ne bina soche unpar apne honth tika diye. Geele namkin hontho ki lajjat bhi auns me bheege gulaab si thi. Ek pal ko Charul ka poora wajood he kaamp gaya apne jiwan ke is pehle mardana sampark se. In hontho tak kabhi koyi pahuch na saka tha aur aaj jisne inhe inke hone ka ehsaas karwaya bas wahi Charul ki chahat thi.
Ek pal ke liye apni gehri aankhen khol kar hairat se Arjun ko dekha jo uske dono gaal thaame poori shiddat se inka pehla rass peene me laga tha aur Charul ne bhi apni ungliya uski peeth par kaste hue is lamhe ko aage badha diya. Saans lene ke liye khule hontho ke beech Arjun ki jeebh ka jana he jaise uske liye komarya bhedan sa ehsaas dene laga. Kab Charul uska anusaran kar baithi ye khud usko na pata laga. Hontho ke sath sath ab Arjun bade itminaan se uski jivha-ras ko apne me samata Charul ko darwaje se laga chuka tha. Gaalo par rakhe hath peeth, kamar se fisalte hue us chikne pajame ke us bhaag par aa ruke jaha Charul ki jawaani ke wo golakar unnat nitambh the.
"Oooohh.. aahhhhh..", Arjun ne honth alag kare toh ukhdi hui saanso ke sath Charul ka seena bhi upar niche hota dikha. Aankhen sukoon, sharam aur is jaadui anubhav se band kiye Charul madhosh si khadi thi.
"Ab bhi lagta hai ki main tumhari andekhi kar raha tha?", Is awaaj se Charul turant madhoshi ke naye aalam se bahar nikli. Kuch bhi sapna nahi tha aur Arjun kuch inch dur uski najro ke saamne he khada tha. Bina kuch kahe wo buri tarah apne ishq se ja lipti jiske khwaab wo jaane kitne dino se dekhti aayi thi. Aaj mann me koyi gubaar na tha aur na wo dard jo Arjun ki andekhi se jyada usne khud ke galat faninslo se paya tha. Itna kuch hone ke bawjood Arjun uske pas tha, bagair narajgi ke. Charul ne koyi kasar na rakhte hue Arjun ki gardan, gaal, aankhen aur hontho apne apni mohar chhap di. Uska bas chalta toh wo is pal me uske bheetar he sama jaati.
"I'm really bad Arjun but you are the most caring person. Sorry for my strange behaviour, I really missed you and it was just the guilt I had. Sorry.", Ek khiladi hone ke bawjood Charul thos hone ke sath makhmal si taravat liye the. Wo jism aaj uski chahat ke majboot badan me tha aur ab dil ki har bechaini hawa ho chuki thi.
"Waise mujhe toh is guilt se bhare kiss me bahot maja aaya." Arjun ki is ek pankti ne he mahol bana diya. Charul sab dukhde bhool kar sharam se uske seene par gadi ja rahi thi aur Arjun bhi apni tshirt ka khinchna mehsoos karte hue aage bol utha.
"Agla step itni jaldi nahi Charul darling, bhabhi bhi rehti hai meri yaha aur wo chikhna chillana sunegi toh mera yaha pehli aur aakhiri baari aana hoga. Kapde faadna aaj ke liye toh baksh he do.", Ab toh Charul ka khade rehna he dubhar ho gaya tha. Sharmati hui wo darwaja khol bahar nikalne lagi toh saamne Parul ko tray hatho me liye khade paya.
"Wo.. wo hum niche he aa rahe the.", Charul ki aniyantrit saansein, hilta seena, behaal aur gulabi chehra dekh Parul kutilta se muskurane lagi.
"Sorry for my strange behaviour.. hahaha.. aur aisa kaunsa kiss hota hai devar ji jisme guilt bhari ho?", Ab ye dono he panchhi jhemp rahe the kyonki Parul jaise waha kayi der se khadi sab sunn rahi thi. Phir bhi Arjun he bola aur Charul wapis kamre me pravesh karti bathroom me daud gayi.
"Aap na bhabhi hadd se jyada he shararti ho, pata nahi Vikas bhaiya ka kya hone wala hai. Matlab aap hum dono ki nigrani kar rahi thi?"
"Devarji, wo meri behan hai aur aapke kisse mashoor bhi bahot hai. Nigrani na karu toh kya bahar khadi hui wo sab sunu jo abhi nahi hona chahiye. Hato ek taraf aur jaldi se milkshake khatam karo.", Arjun ek taraf hua toh Parul andar aati hui tray ke sath bister par aa baithi. Arjun bhi ab kahi is aalishan kamre ko dekh raha tha jo lagbhag waisa he tha jaisa Annu ka. Bas Annu ke kamre me Arjun apne aap ko har jagah he mehsoos karta tha aur shayad yaha bhi thoda bahot uska wajood rehne wala tha aane wale samay me.
"Ye sab saaj-sajawat mahine bhar ka parinaam hai Arjun. Pehle toh idhar bas tshirt pajama ka dher aur ast-vyast cheeje dikhai deti thi. Madam toh aajkal teddy bear ke sath sone lagi hai.", Bathroom ke andar chehra dhoti Charul toh ye sab sunn kar sharam se mari he jaa rahi thi. Arjun bister ki jagah kursi kareeb rakhte baith gaya.
"Kuch badlaav agar khud ko atche lage toh aisa karna behtar hai na bhabhi? Samay ke sath insaan galat aur sahi ki pehchaan kar he leta hai. Charul ka antarman hamesha uljha raha jo shayad is wajah se bhi ki jiwan ke uddeshya kabhi clear nahi rahe. Ek ladki wale rupantar ko grahan kar pana har mahila khiladi ke liye kathin hota hai, Charul ke liye toh jyada he mushkil tha. Dil ki baat pehle khud keh nahi saki, fir Annu jaisi dost ke sath mann me pratidwandita aana swabhavik bhi tha kyonki dost he toh pratidwandi hote hai. Iske sath he anginat bar khud se he sahi galat ke liye ulajhana asaan toh nahi hota? Itne badlaav aane ke baad kamjor padd jana swabhavik hai bhabhi kyonki fir sirf chahat he bachti hai.", Arjun ke itne gehre kathan par Parul lajwaab thi aur Charul khush. Charul ki halat ka bayaan shayad wo khud bhi itna behtar na kar paati jitna Arjun ne kiya tha. Bathroom se nikalte he usne Parul ke saamne Arjun ke gaal par chumban ankit karte hue sirf 'Thank you' kaha aur gilas utha kar uski taraf badha diya.
"Ab ghusi na tere dimaag me meri aur Annu ki kahi baatein? Ye tujhe hamesha se samajhta raha hai lekin madam toh bas isme bhi akele bhaag lengi aur akele jeetengi. Chal ab apna milkshake khatam kar aur tayaar ho ja.", Parul ki baat sunn kar Charul thodi duri par apne he bister par baith kar doodh peene lagi. Kuch halki fulki baaton ke baad ab Arjun bhi yaha se chal diya, jald milne ka waada karta. Ghadi me 5 bajne wale the aur 6 baje usko Preeti ke ghar Romela se bhi milna tha, jo alag he daane bikherne me lagi thi jiska Arjun ko koyi andaja he na tha.

Pandit ji yaha abhi kuch jyada chehal pehal najar nahi aa rahi thi. Sabhi ladkiyan apne upar wale kamro me band thi aur Rameshwar ji aaj Col sahab ke sath golf khelne nikal gaye the. Kaushalya ji bhi Lalita ji aur Krishna ji ko sath liye aaj Malhotra ji ke ghar chali gayi thi. Unke sath atchi banti thi aur kal he unki bitiya Krishna ji ko apne yaha aane ka jor de kar gayi thi. Rekha ji yaha niche wale hisse me kuch waqt toh Komal ke sath he kaam karti rahi fir khud he apni laadli ko Vinni Madhuri ke pas upar bhej diya.
Sab bas yahi dekhte the ki Rekha jaisi bahu ne ghar ko kitne atche se sambhal rakha hai. Bado ke uthne ke samay se lekar raat sabke sone tak wo nirant he kaam karti rehti thi jiske liye jaane kitni he baar Kaushalya ji aur Lalita ji ne bhi unse narajgi jataai thi. Sasur bahu se jyada Rameshwar ji bhi Rekha ko apni beti aur ghar ka ek pramukh stambh maante the. Lekin kisi ne bhi kabhi ek naari ke antarman ko utne behtar tarike se na samjha jitna jaruri tha.
Majboot stambh! Ye sabko bahar se dikhai deta tha lekin andar ke khokhlepan aur tanaav ko sirf unke bache he jaan paaye the aur unme bhi Komal se aage Arjun nikal chuka tha. Bathroom vyavasthit karne ke baad jaise he Rekha ji ki najar apne kamre par gayi toh vicharo ke itihaas me jaane me ek pal na laga. Is darwaje se he toh unki jethani unhe andar le gayi thi vivah hone ke baad. Sab bahot khush the aur hamesha bharpoor laad-pyaar se pali Rekha bhi laaj-sharam, thode darr aur dhero sapne ke sath udhar dakhil hui thi.
Andhera gehrata gaya tha aur unke pati ki jhalak raat ke aakhiri pehar shuru hone tak na mili. Wo raat 2 baje kamre me dakhil hue the aur bas agle aadhe ghante me Rekha ke sath wahi sab hua jaisa aksar suhaagrat me hota tha bas bina prem aur marji ke. Mooh fer kar sone se pehle unke pati ke lafz the ki tum is pariwar ki bahu ho aur tumhe yaha uchit maan-sammaan milega. Biwi ka darja wo hamesha paayengi lekin pyaar ka haq wo pehle he kisi ko de chuke hai. Jismani dard abhi jajb bhi na hua tha aur ye aatma ko chhalni karte shabdo ne jaise har sapne ko asankhya kaanch ke tukdo me tabdil karke rakh diya.
"Maa! Oh meri pyaari maa, yaha akeli khadi kin khayalo me khoyi hai aap? Sorry jab aaya tha toh aap itni vyast thi ki main mil he nahi paya sahi se. Umaahhh..", Arjun ne jaise he apni maa ko piche se baahupash me lete hue apni baat kehne ke sath gaal ko chooma toh hath ke ghere par 2 garam paani ki boonde mehsoos hui. Ye aansu uski maa Rekha ki aankhon se nikle the jo ateet me mile dard me khoyi thi aur achanaak bahar ka labada uske jism par bich gaya, Arjun ke roop me. Lekin un hatho ko toh wo aansu tejaab se kahi jyada garam aur asehaniya lage.
"Aapki aankhon me ye aansu? Meri..", Arjun apni kasam deta us se pehle he Rekha ji ne apne bete ke hontho par hath rakh diya. Dabdabayi aankhon ke bawjood wo muskura rahi thi.
"Tere pyaar ki wajah se ye aankhen bheeg gayi Arjun. Tera paida hona he jaise mujhko poora kar gaya tha aur tu kabhi mujhe apni kasam nahi dega yaad rakhna.", Ab Arjun pal-bhar khamosh raha lekin usko bina kahe bhi jawaab mil sakta tha. Is aas se apni maa ko saamne se seene lagate hue usne aankhen band kar li. Kaha maloom tha is nadaan ko ki uski maa se wo paida hua hai, jitne wo nahi chahengi unka dard Arjun bhi mehsoos nahi kar sakta.
Rekha sabse jyada samajhti thi apne is nadaan se dil ko jo uske liye he dhadakta tha aur iske pyaar me ratti bhar milawat na thi. Bas is pal me wo uski preyasi bann kar jata rahi thi ki Arjun ke liye uske kuch aur bhi maayne hai. Arjun itne samay gale lagne ke baad bhi bas khud ko he mehsoos karta raha apni maa ke dil me. Ye sabse jatil dil tha aur Arjun unka maatha choom kar peeche hatt gaya.
"Aap nahi batayengi, kasam bhi nahi dunga lekin sach toh kuch aur bhi siway hamare pyaar ke. Raat main aapke pas sone wala hu maa.", Arjun itna bol kar bas apni maa ke shaant chehre ko dekhta raha. Un gehri aankhon me bhi sirf Arjun ka he aks tha lekin Arjun itna jaan chuka tha ki maa ke wo aansu prem ka mishran liye dil ko thandak dene ki jagah peeda se bhare khaulte hue tejaab se the.
"Tere papa aayenge toh unhe kya kahungi? Tu mooh hath dho le main doodh bana deti hu.", Rekha ji muskura kar taal rahi thi lekin Arjun ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Wo aayenge bhi toh chacha ke sath baithak me soyenge. In dono kamro me meri maa aur chachi maa ke sath bas main he hu. Waise doodh main pee kar aaya hu, aap rehne dijiye.", Arjun ne ek taraf rakhe dhule hue kapdo se toliya uthate hue kaha aur 2 kadam palat gaya. Lekin fir ek baar mudd kar bol utha.
"Ab main aisi koyi koshish nahi karunga jis se aapko dukh ho. Main aapka he hu maa, har swaroop me aapka. Aap jitni bhi parat audh lijiye sabse andruni kokh se ek maa aur premika kuch bhi chhipa nahi sakti. Aainda gujre waqt se wo yaadein bahar matt laiyega jinme mera astitva na ho.", Arjun ek baar phir se unke gaal choom kar upar wale apne bathroom ki aur badh chala. Rekha ji ke chehre par khushi ke bawjood hairat bhi najar thi.
Wo apne bhagwaan par he bhaari padd gaya tha gale lagne se thik us dev (celestial) Nar ki tarah jiska sabkuch Narayan the. Dana khilane wala kaha chugga leta hai. Rekha apni galti yaad karte hue aap par he muskura uthi kyonki premika ke roop me bhi Arjun kamjori toh bhaamp he sakta tha.
Chugga (2)
Abhi dopehar ka bhojan chal he raha tha aur ghar ke aangan me ye car aa ruki. Sanjiv bhaiya ki najar kheer khaate Arjun par padi jo muskura raha tha aur wahi Narinder ji ke bhi hath ruk gaye apni biwi ko niwala khilate hue jo Sanjiv-Arjun ko dekhne lage the.
"Umed chacha ji ki gaadi hai.", Arjun ne jaise he jawaab diya waise he galiyare se chalta hua wo sadhe 6 feet ka lamba raubdar muskurata vyakti idhar chala aaya. Sath he Vinita bhi chust jeans aur safed kameej pehne unke barabar chalti aayi. Umed ji ke hath me apni laadli ka ye bag bhi tha, hafte bhar ke kapdo wala.
"Waah bhai tum chacha bhatija toh bada jordar connection banaye ho. Arjun ne toh car ki awaaj se he bata diya ke tum ho.", Narinder ji ne apne dusri taraf ki kursi kheench kar Umed ko baithne ka ishara diya wahi Vinita ne Krishna ji aur chacha ke gale me dono taraf hath daalte hue chachi ka gaal choomte hue abvidan kiya. Wo bhi uske sar ko apne sath lagati hui bhatiji ko dularne lagi.
"Chacha ji ye Aaru koyi itna bhi tej nahi jo aisi halki awaaj se gaadi ka bata de. Wo toh Umed chacha ki aadat hai ki gate se pehle hamesha 2 horn bajate hai. Waise horn ki awaaj jarur Aaru atche se pehchanta hai.", Ye Alka thi bahar se he aayi thi inke peeche. Aur ab Arjun bhi hans raha tha kyonki Alka ki baat bilkul uchit thi.
"Hahaha.. toh meri gudiya is Munaa se bhi jyada tej hai? Jeeti raho aur sada aise he khush raho. Waise mujhe toh shaam ko aana tha lekin suna ke Rekha bhabhi ne aaj bharva bhindi banai hai toh lalach me thoda jaldi aa gaya.", Umed ji ne ek taraf Alka ka hath thaam rakha tha dusri taraf wo Narinder ji ko dekh hans rahe the jo bina roti he bhindi ko khaane me lage the. Madhuri ne bhi turant apne chacha ke saamne daal, bhindi aur karele ki plate laga di garma fooli hui roti ke sath.
"Aap khaao chachi ke hath ki bhindi aur main jara Ritu-Alka ke sath upar chali.", Vinita ne ek baar bas Arjun ko dekha tha aur Alka ko sath liye wo upar badh chali, bag ke sath. Alka bhi dhimi awaaj me kuch batati ja rahi thi apni is badi behan ko aur Vinni hansti hui upar wali manjil ke is pichle bhaag me chali aayi. Niche thodi he der me khaane par sabhi ladkiyan he baithi thi ab. Khaane ke turant baad he Narinder ji aur Umed ji jaruri kaam bata kar bahar chale gaye the aur ab Arjun Sanjiv ke pas waqt tha akele me baatchit ka. Car me Sandhu ji ke naam ka card rakhte hue Arjun ne wo file bhi sath le li. Steering par ab Sanjiv bhaiya the aur car university ke raste badh chali.
"Toh aapko lagta hai ki hum is raaj ko suljha sakte hai? Yaha toh itni uljhan hai ki dhaage ka ek sira pakado toh aage chal kar 4 seere aur nikal aate hai. Pata nahi ye sab alag alag ghatnaye kyu ek sath judi hui lag rahi hai bhaiya.", Arjun ne he cielo me chhayi chuppi todi toh Sanjiv ke chehre par chhayi soch bhi utar gayi.
"Jaanta hai chhote ye sab seere kyun pakad nahi aa rahe? Ek toh hum is peedhi me hai jaha aate aate bahot kuch gayab ho chuka hai ya phir pichli peedhi ke logo ne khud ko badal liya hai. Aur jitne log utni baatein sunn ne ko mil rahi hai lekin poora toh kisi ko bhi nahi pata. Lohan ne jo bataya wo ab tak sabse jyada khulase wala tha toh Mishra ki kathani jo mujhe Narinder chacha ne bataai wo thodi alag thi. Jhooth dono he nahi bol sakte the kyonki sach batana majburi tha. Tujhe jo pata chala usme bhi common log wahi the par unki kahani bhi alag.", Sanjiv bhaiya ki baat apni jagah sahi thi aur Arjun ki khojbin bhi.
"Karam Singh wala sach kya kehta hai bhaiya?", Arjun ne baat ko ek aur disha dene ke maskad se kaha tha lekin sambandh iska bhi kahi na kahi poore prakaran se tha.
"Karam Singh ne bhi jaise samay ke paar ka khel soch rakha tha Chhote. Ek tarah se itni saari jaankari usne apne ghar me sahej kar rakhi jiska matlab ye toh nahi ho sakta na ki wo yaadein ho bas? Wo jaanta tha ki agar usko kuch bhi hota hai toh uske jimmewar log wahi honge jinke sath takraav hai. Khojbin bhi hogi aur wo saab cheej uske ghar se he milengi jo kayi zindagiyo me bhuchaal laa sakti hai.", Ab kahi Arjun ka bhi dhyaan is prakaran par gaya. Sanjiv bhaiya ne bilkul sahi baat kahi thi ki yaha chugga toh Karam se daal gaya hai pehle se. Arjun ko khamosh dekh bhaiya muskura diye.
"Chhote, pareshan matt ho. Aaj bas jitni jaankari dono ke pas hai wo badal le, uske baad is maamle par kaam tab tak nahi karenge jab tak khud thaanedar ji apne mooh se na kahe. Wo khanjar shaahi pariwar se tha aur rivolver German, jiksa handle ivory (haathi daant) coated tha. Matlab wo bhi shaahi sadasya ya unke saaman kisi bade pariwar ki. Kaagaj toh aur bhi dhamakedar the, chal kar dekh lena khud he. Waise ye tera adda aur kisko pata hai?", Bhaiya baaton ke beech he university wale kamre ke baare me puchne lage.
"Study ke liye hai ye room bhaiya aur agar kuch sambhal kar rakhna ho toh bilkul thik jagah. Waise shahi pariwar ke sath toh hamare pariwar ka bhi nata raha hai. Kuch naya naam mila kya aapko un kaagajo me.?", Is saaf-suthri sadak par jab car andar aayi toh hamesha ki tarah surakshakarmi ne muskura kar Arjun ki taraf hath hilaya aur pratiuttar me Arjun ne bhi waisa he kiya. Aage Arjun he bhaiya ko batate hue international hostel ki parking me ek taraf car lagwate hue is behad shaant aur thande galiyare me chal diya.
"Naam toh saamne 3-4 aaye hai chhote. Aur jaisa mera dil keh raha hai ye sabhi naam he poori kahani bata sakte hai. Neelima naam ka ulekh tha ek chitthi me aur wo Sarang dwara damyanti ko likhi gayi thi. 19 August 1973 ko, bhanji lagti thi wo Sarang ki. Lohan ne bhi iska jikar kiya tha aur sath me Shalini bua ka bhi. Neelima ko dhoondna hai toh Shalini bua se madad leni hogi aur unse baat karna kaam bigaad dega. Waise badi aalishan jagah hai ye chhote aur tu yaha pehchaan bana chuka hai atchi khaasi.", Counter par baithe aadmi ne bhi jab Arjun ko dur se he hath hilaya toh Arjun ne bhi waisa he kiya. Chalte he wo is aakhiri kamre ke bahar aa pahuche. Arjun ne chaabi se tala kholte he andar ki light jala di. Darwaja wapis band karte hue usne bhaiya ko fridge se paani ki bottle nikal kar dete hue apni baat kahi.
"Ye jagah ab sirf aap he jaante hai bhaiya aur meri atchi dost hai university ke pramukh logo se jo idhar kaam karte hai. Waise Shalini bua se main he baat karunga, lag toh mujhe bhi raha tha ki Ajju chacha ke baare me jaankari wahi de sakti hai.", AC chalu karte hue Arjun ne wahi diwar par lage poster ko sarkate hue ye adrishya si khidki khol kar kuch kagaj nikale aur sabkuch pehle jaisa karta hua wo joote khol kar bister par aa baitha.
"Badi khufiya jagah banaye baitha hu tu yaha.", Bhaiya muskura rahe the wo sab dekh kar.
"Bahot kuch hai yaha jo dikhta nahi hai bhaiya. Aap jara ye kagaj dekho main computer start kar du.", Ab Sanjiv bhaiya ke pas Punjab wali jaankari aur ye kagaj the jinhe wo bade gor se dekhne lage. Arjun ne yaha har pariwar ka jikar kiya hua tha aur sabse aakhri panne par khudke pariwar ka. Waha Rameshwar Sharma ke baad ek khaali box me prashan-chinh tha aur uske baad ek he vyakti ke 2 naam. Krishan Chand Sharma aur Krishneshwar Sharma. Iske aage Arjun ko bas apne chacha Vinod ka pata tha baaki dono bua ke aage naam ki jagah khaali thi. Sanjiv ko wo naam pata tha aur ab jaise Arjun ko bhi poori jaankari Jagtar se milne ke baad wo pata chal gaye the. Monitor par Window 98 ka nishaan jaane ke baad Arjun internet chalu karke wapis bister par aa baitha.
"Ye chhote dada ke aise naam likhne ka matlab? Tujhe kya lagta hai ke ye alag alag naam likhne me bhi koyi fasaad hai? Aur dada ji log 2 bhai he the fir ye swaal is ghere me kyon? Tujhe lagta hai ki aur bhi bhai-behan honge?", Sanjiv bhaiya ke kauthool ko dekh Arjun ne sar haan me hilaate hue ab wo file utha li jo bhaiya ne tayar ki thi Karma Singh ke ghar se mili jaankari ke sath. Kuch chitthi-patra aur tasvire unhone waha se gayab karke yahi rakh li thi. Arjun panne palat kar sab dhyaan se dekh raha tha. Koyi 5 minute baad wo bola.
"Bhaiya wajah toh nahi pata lekin baad aisi hai ke humko abhi tak padd-dada ji ke samay ki saari jaankari nahi hai. Dil toh kehta hai ke shayad unke aur bhi bache the lekin apne dada ji ko dekh kar vichar badal jata hai. Unke aur bhai-behan ho toh swabhavik hai ki pariwar me pata hota. Aur ek maje ki baat suno, ye Damyanti Sarang ki kya lagti hai aapko?", Arjun baat sunane ke sath he sawaal kar gaya jis par Sanjiv ne turant uttar diya.
"Rakhail. Kyun ki Damyanti ke pati ke baare me koyi jaankari nahi mili lekin Sarang ke sath uska naata gehra tha aur bahot se kaagaz ishara karte bhi hai."
"Atcha toh fir yaha Chandar aur Karam ke judwa bhai hone ki baat hai lekin unke baad Bindiya bhi paida hui. Kahi bhi Sarang ka jikar nahi, shaahi rajkumar bhi kayi vivah kar he sakta tha. Damyanti naam bhi rasookh wala hai aur wo hathiyaar tak shaahi the. Madhulata ki maa ke do vivah hue. Pariwar bhi koyi kami wala toh nahi tha jitna mujhe lagta hai lekin shayad wo bhi rajsi sukh chahti hongi.", Arjun ke aise sawaalo se Sanjiv bas ulajh he raha tha. Dimaag bhannaya toh seedha sawaal.
"Chhote jo kehna hai wo spasht kar. Mera dimag chakra raha hai is sab me."
"Damyanti Sarang ki behan thi bhaiya jisko 19 ki umar me mrit bataya gaya hai. Koyi pati nahi toh wo maa kaise bani? Aur kyu kahi bhi uska itna ullekh nahi hai par Sarnag ne uski poori hifajat ki hai ye saaf hai. Ab ek aur baat kahu, dil thaam lijiyega.", Arjun ke is khulase se toh Sanjiv ke chehre par 12 he baj gaye. Wo bas mundi haan me hila gaya.
"Chhote dada ji ne kuch aisa kiya tha jis se unhe ghar me he baandh diya gaya. Shayad iski wajah aur ghatna apen thaanedar ji ko bhi nahi maloom, wo police se pehle fauj me the. Ab kahani toh yahi ishara karti hai ke Sarang ke khaas dost Krishneshwar ji he sab kaand ki wajah hai.", Sanjiv abhi bhi hairat me tha aur Arjun uth kar computer ki taraf chal diya. Email dekhne ke liye. Sanjiv ki chetna wapis aayi toh agla sawaal.
"Laajwanti kaha fit hoti hai fir is maamle me? Wo dono behne hai toh raaj-pariwar ki 2 ladkiyan gayab ho jaaye aur koyi kuch na kare? Laajwanti ne toh aisa kuch kiya bhi nahi tha jis se ijjat par baat aaye, fir wo shahi pariwar se dur aisi jamidari wali zindagi kyu jeene lagi bhala?", Arjun ek email ko padhte hue muskura raha tha. Uska chehra Sanjiv dekh toh nahi paya lekin wo bas baitha he tha.
"Kyonki Lajwanti uski behan hai he nahi bhaiya. Unhe unka pehla pati wahi se byaah kar laya tha, sach hai ya koyi aur khel lekin kahi bhi Lajwanti ke pariwar ka ullekh nahi. Haan Damyanti aur Laajwanti ka rishta bahot gehra hai aur Shabnam lagi hui hai jaanch padtal karne me. Aapko lagta nahi Shabnam ko dekh kar ki wo kitni haseen hai aur attitude khoon ke khaas hone ka ishara karta hai jaisa Bindiya ka hoga. Madhulata ghaagh aurat hai, shatir bhi jaise uska khoon milwat bhara ho. Richa papa ki wajah se alag hai apni maa aur naani se. Idhar aao aur ye dono tasvir dekho jara.", Arjun aaj jitni jaankari de raha tha wo pehle he Sanjiv ko jhakjhor chuki thi aur wo abhi bhi nahi ruk raha tha. Computer ke monitor par ye rangeen tasvir thi London ke pramukh sthaan ki aur isme jo yuvti thi ya mahila kaho, wo kahi jyada he haseen aur rubaab se bhari.
"Waah. Ye kaun hai?"
"Aap case suljhane me lage ho aur Bindiya kaaki ko bhi nahi pehchane? Ye ek aur tasvir dekho aur jara thaath bhi dekho inke.", Arjun ne dusri tasvir dikhai toh ye chehre aur seene tak ki badi tasvir thi. Bindiya ki aankehn, chehre ka kataav aur chamak bilkul Shabnam aur Muskaan jaisi thi.
"Behnchod 40 paar ki bhi ho kar ye kitni gajab hai chhote. Saali ye aurat Tarachand jaise ki rakhail kaise bani?"
"Shabnam ne bhi kiya tha is naam ke aadmi ke sath, sirf 2 baar. Aur ye Madhulata kaaki ke shikaar hai bhaiya. Bindiya ka pehla pyaar toh apne Inder chacha ji the jaisa mujhe Shabnam ne bataya aur Shabnam beti bhi Inder chacha aur Bindiya ki hai. Sarang ka dakhal jab khatam hua toh uske kuch samay baad he Bindiya desh se bahar chali gayi aur us beech wale samay me he ye Sutradhar Munni kaaki ne Bindiya ko kabje me le liya. Aap khud he socho ki Bindiya ne kabhi waha se Munni ko phone nahi kiya ulta wahi Karam Singh ya Chandarbhan se Bindiya ko sandesha bhijwati thi."
"Yaar chhote ye toh sachmuch khatarnak aurat hai. Matlab Shankar chacha ki kamjori ye Madhulata kaaki Chandro daadi ka bhi koyi raaj dabaye baithi hogi."
"Unse baat nahi kar sakte bhaiya aur filhal toh main aaj ke baad is vishaya par charcha bhi nahi karne wala. Jyada khojbin saari khushi he na khatam kar de. Aur ye Munni kaaki ke par sahi samay aane par he kaatenge, kahi jaldbaaji me aap aur main mere paap ek hathe chadh gaye toh jaane kya gati hogi apni.", Arjun iske baad kuch der yahoo messenger par he Shabnam aur Annu ke sath baat karta raha.
Sanjiv bhaiya ne ek khaali gilas utha kar ciggratte sulga li. Khidki khol kar wo peeche ye jungla ka najara karte hue file bhi padh rahe the. Arjun ki baat se ab unhe bhi ittafaaq tha ki Bindiya jo bhi hai wo par ek giri hui aurat nahi hai. Ab toh ek tarah se Shabnam bhi uski behan he thi. Dono he bhai kuch der aise he vyast rahe aur 4 bajne se pehle he wapis ghar ki taraf badh chale. Jaate hue Arjun ne usko Sandhu ji ke ghar utaarne ka kaha toh bhaiya bhi usko wahi utaar kar apne raste chal diye.

"Maa ji keh rahi thi ki tum is mahine ke baad bahar ja rahe ho? Mujhe ye baat tumse pata chalni chahiye thi. Lagta hai pyaar badalne laga hai tumhara.", Lata sansarg ke baad bathroom se khud ko saaf karke wapis bister par baithte hue Shankar ji par tanj karne lagi toh wo bas naa me gardan hilane lage. Dopehar ke is khamosh samay me bas yahi dono haveli me jaag rahe the. Baaki sabhi apne kamro me he araam farma rahe the.
"Tumhe main har baat batata hu Lata aur taai ko ye papa ne bataya hoga. Abhi toh ghar me bhi kisi ko nahi pata ki main ja raha hu. Sarkar bhej rahi hai behtar technology samajhne ke liye aur aisa mauka asaani se nahi milta. Main bhi aadhunik ilaaj me upyog hone wali machine, takneek aur tarike jaan-na chahta hu. 4 hafte ka program hai bas.", Shankar ji ke poore khulase par Lata ke chehre par pehle thode narajgi ke bhaav aaye phir achanak he wo khush ho uthi.
"Aise me toh pariwar ka bhi ek vyakti sath ja sakta hai na? Biwi bhi?", Ab sansarg ke baad thithil se pade Shankar ji ko kaha samajh aata ki unki ye preyasi kya kehna chahti hai.
"Rekha ko nahi le raha. Usko pariwar me he rehna pasand hai aur waha wo karegi bhi kya."
"Choot maarne ke waqt Lata aur biwi ka naam lo toh Rekha. Waah gajab ka doglapan hai tumhara. Arre kabi toh taras khaao mujh bechari par jo yaha barso se qaid hai.", Is gusse aur teekhi baaton ne toh Shankar ji ki neend he udaa di.
"Oh mera wo matlab nahi tha meri Chanda bas thodi thakaan thi. Tumhe leke toh main bhi jana chahta hu par waha bahot se jaankar doctor honge, unke biwiyan bhi sath hogi jo Rekha ko jaanti hai. Tumhe sath leke jana matlab pehle Taai se baat karni padegi aur ye baat jayegi papa tak. Galat ho jayega, bahot jyada galat.", Shankar ji ne apni lachaari dikhai toh Lata mann he mann kulbulane lagi thi. Chehre par bhi saaf narajgi thi.
"Mujhe alag se bhej do phir, itne paise toh tumhare pas honge he ya uske liye bhi Pandit ji ko shamil karna padega? 4 hafte main bhi sukoon le lungi aur tum yaha ka matt sochna, idhar se main nikal sakti hu.", Ab toh Shankar ji ke pas bhi koyi chahra na bacha tha.
"Tumhara passport de do, visa lagwa dunga. Lekin ehtiyaat rakhna thodi, ghar me ye bhanak bhi lagi ki tum videsh ja rahi ho wo bhi mere sath toh kohraam mach jayega. Waise bhi mere din saadhe-sati se badtar chal rahe hai. Aur yaha kuch fasaad hua toh samjho papa ne akhbaar me he nikaal dena ki is Shankar Sharma se pariwar ka koyi sambandh nahi.", Apni he baat kehte hue Shankar ke chehre par hansi aa gayi.
"Aaj bhi tum unke liye college wale ladke ho na jo har kaam maa-baap se pooch kar karta hai. Is se jyada bedakhal kya karenge jab sabkuch pehle he ek paute ke naam kar diya ho. 3 bhai ho tum aur uske baad ghar me 2 ladke lekin yaha toh sabkuch bas Arjun eklaute ke naam karke unhone ek tarah se tumhe bhi baandh he rakha hai.", Lata ki aadat kaha badal sakti thi aur pramaan de diya jayedaad aur Arjun ka jikar karke.
"Wo mera akele ka beta nahi hai Lata. Aur Sanjiv ne khud apna hissa usko diya hai Inder ke sath sath. Haan Rekha wali jayedad uske naam akele ke hui, Ritu Komal ko bhi shamil karna chahiye tha. Baaki Banwari mama toh pehle he Arjun ko waris bana gaye the aur papa ne baaki jameen kharid kar wo bhi Arjun ko he de di. Waise mujhe kuch nahi chahiye, 30 lakh mahina aata hai mujhe. Retirement ke baad 2 hospital bahot hai zindagi aish se gujarne ke liye aur baaki kayi kaam hain jinse aamdani badhne he wali hai. Tumhe har sukh de sakta hu, itni hasiyat hai meri.", Shankar ji aadatan apna bholapan dikha he gaye jaha na bete ke liye koi gussa tha aur naa jayedad ka lalach. Jarurat se jyada toh unke pas khud ki kamaai se bhi tha. Lekin Lata ek taraf jaha Shankar ki aamdan par hairaan thi wahi Rekha wali jayedad bhi Arjun ke naam sunn kar usko ab Arjun par kahi jyada gussa tha.
"Itna kama lete ho toh fir le chalo mujhe aur apni beti ko yaha se. Kahi aaj Arjun ka moh toh nahi kamjor kar raha tumhe?"
"Pagalpan kyu karti ho yar tum? Jitne taai hai itne tum yaha ho aur uske baad main tumhe shehar me alag ghar le dunga jaha har suvidha mile meri Chanda ko. Lekin dusra sach ye bhi hai ki mere liye mera pariwar hamesha pehle sthaan par rahega. Arjun mera beta hai aur mere papa duniya ke sabse sahi insaan. Unhone kuch soch kar he mere bete ko waris banaya hoga. Mera moh meri maa se hai, Inder se hai aur fir tumse."
"Matlab main teesre sthaan par hu tumhari zindagi me?"
"Pehle pe toh hamesha he maa-papa aur Inder he hai Chanda aur is baare me please kuch tippani matt karna. Ab thodi der main araam kar lu agar ijajat ho toh? Apna passport nikaal kar de dena mujhe jaane se pehle. 4 baje hai toh 6 baje tak utha dena aur Richa ko bol dena apne kapde pack kar le.", Shankar ji ne karwat lete hue aankhen band kar li. Bhojan ke baad sansarg aur upar se dopehar wala aalas bahot tha neend ke liye.
'Yahi teen logo ne zindagi narak bana di meri aur tumhe mujhse jyada wahi pasand hai. Upar se kambakht ye Arjun jaane kya cheej hai. Jabse ye zindagi me aaya hai danka he suni ja rahi hu kamine ka aur meri zindagi shamshaan banti ja rahi hai. Pata nahi is se nijaat milegi ya kamina aise he mujhe ghutan se maar dega. Ek baar niklu toh sahi is kaidkhaane se fir dekhti hu sabko.', Mann me hajaro vichar chal rahe the aur ab Madhulata ko aas thi ki wo Shankar ka istemaal karke he rahat paa sakti hai. Pata nahi ye kabootar is shikari ka chugga chugta hai koyi aur vyavdhaan paida ho jaye.

Joginder Singh Sandhu ji ka ghar bhi khushnuma mahol se bhara tha. Aaj is mahol me Arjun bhi shaamil tha aur khud Sandhu sahab bhi avkaash par the. Card-mithai dene ke baad kuch der tak baatein chalti rahi aur Arjun ki najar is jaane-pehchane chhote se kutte par padi jo ek kamre se nikal kar idhar he chala aaya.
"Ye Sam hai?", Arjun dwara naam lete he us kamre se bahar nikalti Parul bhi thoda hairaan ho gayi lekin jald he chehre par lambi muskurahat liye wo uski bagal me aa baithi.
"Toh tum Sam se Annu ke ghar mil chuke ho. Haan ye pehle uske pas bhi rehta tha kabhi kabhi aur jara tum ye batao ke kal aane wale the. Kyon nahi aaye?"
"Bhabhi, ghar ke kaam se Punjab jana pada toh nahi aa paya. Lekin aaj seedha idhar he aaya hu.", Ek taraf Arjun dwara bhabhi kehne par Parul khush thi wahi uska seedha yaha aana sunn kar bhi atcha laga. Abhi tak hall me Sandhu ji, aunty aur Parul he the Arjun ke sath. Pehle baaton ka morcha uncle aunty ke pas tha aur ab unhone jaruri kaam ka batate hue Arjun se ijajat li toh bache Parul aur Arjun. Sandhu ji apni dharampatni ke sath car me bahar chale gaye toh ab Parul thoda sehaj ho kar sofe par pasar gayi.
"Maan liya janaab tum hadd se jyada he busy ho lekin har waqt toh nahi hote hoge. Us din bhi toh apne dost ke sath tafri maar he rahe the. Waise agar Punjab wale shehar jaane ka bata dete toh main aur Charul bhi sath chal padte. XXXX nagar me Simmi ka bhi ghar hai jisko laare lagaye hue ho tum.", Dheela laal sharara aur lambi chust kameej me Parul bina makeup he gazab dhaa rahi thi. Wo alag baat thi ki dono apne rishtey ko poori izzat dete the lekin har ladki ye bhi chahti hai ki uska dost prashansha jarur kare. Seedhiyo se utar kar hall me kadam rakhti Charul ke paanv apni jagah he jamm gaye is chehre ko dekhte he.
"Alka aur Aarti didi sath thi bhabhi aur ab toh mujhe koyi khaas bhi nahi hai, jitna jaruri tha wo kar chuka hu. Aap jab chahe phone kar diya kijiye, banda seva me hajir rahega. Waisa Vikas bhaiya ne bataya tha ke aapko jaruri kaam hai kuch.", Arjun ki peeth thi Charul ki taraf aur Charul jaise mann banane me uljhi thi ki wo milte he gussa dikhaye ya samajhdari. Parul ne dekh liya tha apni behan ko aur uski najro ka peecha karte hue ab Arjun ne bhi kaale top aur chust pajame me qaid is sundari ko dekha toh bas dekhta he reh gaya.
"Wo tumhe ek baar sath chalna padega mere lekin weekdays me he. Vikas ke pas bhi time nahi hai kyonki nayi naukari hai aur ghar ki ab saari jimmewari bhi. Agar possible ho toh monday chalte hai. Chaho toh Charul ko bhi le chalenge.", Ab ye aakhir me apna naam sunn kar jhempti hui Charul bhi idhar he chali aayi. Arjun ne aankhon se hello toh kar he diya tha.
"Haan toh meri bhi chuttiyan hai aur suna hai Arjun ne car bhi li hai jiski treat dene se ye bachta aa raha hai. Waise sach kahu toh Parul ye ladka na time ka bada paband hai.", Ab Charul kursi kheench kar unke saamne he aa baithi. Samay ki pabandi wala dialogue bata raha tha ki Arjun milne ka vaada karke bhi nahi aaya.
"Paani he pila do bhabhi.", Arjun jaise is waqt Charul se baat karna chahta tha lekin Parul ki shararat usne kaha dekhi thi.
"Paani? Abhi toh piya hai aur ye le is bottle me bhi thanda paani hai. Nahi toh Charul isko thodi extra ice daal kar paani de jara.", Ye Charul bhi samajh rahi thi ki wo baat karna chahta hai aur didi pareshan kar rahi hai. Lekin usko laga chalo yahi thik hai, Arjun se thoda maja liya jaaye. Charul uth kar jaane he lagi thi ki Arjun ne kalai pakad li. Jaha Charul ki dhadkan ne raftaar pakadi wahi Parul jhoothi hairani se usko dekhne lagi.
"Nahi peena extra ice wala, aap baitho apni jagah. Aur bhabhi main aapka devar lagta hu toh sewa aapse karwani hai, inse nahi."
"Hey bhagwan kitna nirlajj hai tu Arjun. Vikas toh tujhse sharif aur sanskari batata rehta hai aur yaha meri he chhoti behan ka hath mere saamne he pakad liya.", Parul drama karti Charul ko bhi dekh rahi thi jo sharam se niche dekhne lagi.
"Oh meri hitler bhabhi, pehli mulakaat me he meri sharafat ke jhande saamne kar diye tha bhaiya ne aur aapne bhi Annu ko lapet liya tha. Aur maine inse bhi kuch baat karni hai isliye aapko kitchen tak bhej raha tha. Ek minute me batao jara main kitni baat kar lunga?", Arjun ne kalai chhod di thi aur Charul wapis kursi par baithi dono ko dekhne lagi.
"Is se dur he rahiyo Charul, jaanti hai na kitni girlfriend hai iski? Ab toh shayad number badh bhi gaya hoga. Annu, Preeti, wo basketball wali aur jaane kaun kaun.", Ye sab Parul isliye keh rahi thi kyonki Charul ne aisa he kuch Arjun ke liya kaha tha. Aur usko pata tha ke itne din se jo Charul ghar me reh rahi hai toh uski wajah Arjun he hoga lekin Arjun sorry na kahe bas.
"Aap mere liye chai he bana do aur agar isne kuch bournvita-milkshake pina hai toh wo sahi. Baaki sabki apni apni zindagi hai toh main tension nahi leti jyada.", Charul ke is kathan par Parul andar he hans rahi thi kyonki khud Parul ne dekha tha apni behan ko band kamre me makeup karte, gaane sunte aur ladkiyon wale kapde aaine ke saamne khud par laga kar dekhte hue. Arjun abhi khamosh he tha aur Parul thode gambhir chehre ke sath uth khadi hui.
"Tumhare kamre me baat kar sakti ho Arjun se lekin ye jarur dhyaan rakhna ki ye mera eklauta devar hai.", Parul ne naram shabdo me he sachet kar diya tha pichla sara majaak hatate hue. Arjun bhi jaanta tha ki Parul bhabhi uski parwah karti hai.
"Khaa nahi jaungi main aapke devar ko. Aur mere liye bhi milkshake he bana dena.", Charul uth kar khadi hui aur Arjun ko apne sath he upar chalne ka ishara kiya. Lakdi ki railing wali ye badi seedhiyan ghar ke andar se he dusri manjil tak aati thi jaha 3 kamre the. Sandhu ji ka ghar beshak 350 gaj ka tha lekin aalishan tha. Arjun bas apne se 2 kadam upar chalti Charul ko dekh raha tha aur rasoi ke pas khadi Parul ke chehre par ek alag he muskaan thi. Pehle kamre ke andar aate he Charul ne darwaje ki chitakni chadha di.
"Paanv me gir jaun toh shaanti milegi tumhe? Ya hath joddne se kaam chal jayega?", Ek pal me he Charul ke chehre par wo dard umad aaya jisko rokne ki wo bharsak koshish kar rahi thi itne dino se. Arjun dwara uski andekhi ne is kadar dard diya tha ki aankhon me motte motte aansu ek pal me bahar tapak pade. Arjun bas hairaan tha ki ye kya hua. Darwaje se peeth lagaye khadi Charul subakti hui farsh ki taraf jaane lagi toh bina soche Arjun ne wo dheela padta jism apni giraft me le liya. Har khayaal dimaag se nikal wo bas Charul ko apne chaude seene se lagaye khada tha jo fafak kar bas roye ja rahi thi.
"Shhhhh.. Maine koyi andekhi nahi ki Charul. Halaat bhi sath nahi the aur jab waqt nikaal kar stadium gaya toh tum bhi nahi mili. Main kisi pyaar karne wale ki andekhi karne ka paap nahi kar sakta.", Arjun bas peeth sehlate hue usko chup karwana chahta tha jo thoda mushkil kaam lagne laga. Charul ke aansuon ki tej raftaar ne uska kandha bhigo dia aur wo bas khamosh rahi.
"Agar tumhari andekhi karni hoti toh main yaha kyu aata? Mujhe pata chala tha ki tum ab stadium bhi nahi aa rahi isliye main aise waqt yaha aaya jab baat kar saku.", Arjun ne dono hatho me wo gora chehra thaam kar dekha toh ab waha rone ki wajah se rangat laal aur sirf aansu he the. Charul ki band aankhen abhi bhi aansu baha rahi thi jo shayad kisi aur wajah se bhi thi. Ubhre hue surkh adhar bhi aansuo se bheege dekh Arjun ne bina soche unpar apne honth tika diye. Geele namkin hontho ki lajjat bhi auns me bheege gulaab si thi. Ek pal ko Charul ka poora wajood he kaamp gaya apne jiwan ke is pehle mardana sampark se. In hontho tak kabhi koyi pahuch na saka tha aur aaj jisne inhe inke hone ka ehsaas karwaya bas wahi Charul ki chahat thi.
Ek pal ke liye apni gehri aankhen khol kar hairat se Arjun ko dekha jo uske dono gaal thaame poori shiddat se inka pehla rass peene me laga tha aur Charul ne bhi apni ungliya uski peeth par kaste hue is lamhe ko aage badha diya. Saans lene ke liye khule hontho ke beech Arjun ki jeebh ka jana he jaise uske liye komarya bhedan sa ehsaas dene laga. Kab Charul uska anusaran kar baithi ye khud usko na pata laga. Hontho ke sath sath ab Arjun bade itminaan se uski jivha-ras ko apne me samata Charul ko darwaje se laga chuka tha. Gaalo par rakhe hath peeth, kamar se fisalte hue us chikne pajame ke us bhaag par aa ruke jaha Charul ki jawaani ke wo golakar unnat nitambh the.
"Oooohh.. aahhhhh..", Arjun ne honth alag kare toh ukhdi hui saanso ke sath Charul ka seena bhi upar niche hota dikha. Aankhen sukoon, sharam aur is jaadui anubhav se band kiye Charul madhosh si khadi thi.
"Ab bhi lagta hai ki main tumhari andekhi kar raha tha?", Is awaaj se Charul turant madhoshi ke naye aalam se bahar nikli. Kuch bhi sapna nahi tha aur Arjun kuch inch dur uski najro ke saamne he khada tha. Bina kuch kahe wo buri tarah apne ishq se ja lipti jiske khwaab wo jaane kitne dino se dekhti aayi thi. Aaj mann me koyi gubaar na tha aur na wo dard jo Arjun ki andekhi se jyada usne khud ke galat faninslo se paya tha. Itna kuch hone ke bawjood Arjun uske pas tha, bagair narajgi ke. Charul ne koyi kasar na rakhte hue Arjun ki gardan, gaal, aankhen aur hontho apne apni mohar chhap di. Uska bas chalta toh wo is pal me uske bheetar he sama jaati.
"I'm really bad Arjun but you are the most caring person. Sorry for my strange behaviour, I really missed you and it was just the guilt I had. Sorry.", Ek khiladi hone ke bawjood Charul thos hone ke sath makhmal si taravat liye the. Wo jism aaj uski chahat ke majboot badan me tha aur ab dil ki har bechaini hawa ho chuki thi.
"Waise mujhe toh is guilt se bhare kiss me bahot maja aaya." Arjun ki is ek pankti ne he mahol bana diya. Charul sab dukhde bhool kar sharam se uske seene par gadi ja rahi thi aur Arjun bhi apni tshirt ka khinchna mehsoos karte hue aage bol utha.
"Agla step itni jaldi nahi Charul darling, bhabhi bhi rehti hai meri yaha aur wo chikhna chillana sunegi toh mera yaha pehli aur aakhiri baari aana hoga. Kapde faadna aaj ke liye toh baksh he do.", Ab toh Charul ka khade rehna he dubhar ho gaya tha. Sharmati hui wo darwaja khol bahar nikalne lagi toh saamne Parul ko tray hatho me liye khade paya.
"Wo.. wo hum niche he aa rahe the.", Charul ki aniyantrit saansein, hilta seena, behaal aur gulabi chehra dekh Parul kutilta se muskurane lagi.
"Sorry for my strange behaviour.. hahaha.. aur aisa kaunsa kiss hota hai devar ji jisme guilt bhari ho?", Ab ye dono he panchhi jhemp rahe the kyonki Parul jaise waha kayi der se khadi sab sunn rahi thi. Phir bhi Arjun he bola aur Charul wapis kamre me pravesh karti bathroom me daud gayi.
"Aap na bhabhi hadd se jyada he shararti ho, pata nahi Vikas bhaiya ka kya hone wala hai. Matlab aap hum dono ki nigrani kar rahi thi?"
"Devarji, wo meri behan hai aur aapke kisse mashoor bhi bahot hai. Nigrani na karu toh kya bahar khadi hui wo sab sunu jo abhi nahi hona chahiye. Hato ek taraf aur jaldi se milkshake khatam karo.", Arjun ek taraf hua toh Parul andar aati hui tray ke sath bister par aa baithi. Arjun bhi ab kahi is aalishan kamre ko dekh raha tha jo lagbhag waisa he tha jaisa Annu ka. Bas Annu ke kamre me Arjun apne aap ko har jagah he mehsoos karta tha aur shayad yaha bhi thoda bahot uska wajood rehne wala tha aane wale samay me.
"Ye sab saaj-sajawat mahine bhar ka parinaam hai Arjun. Pehle toh idhar bas tshirt pajama ka dher aur ast-vyast cheeje dikhai deti thi. Madam toh aajkal teddy bear ke sath sone lagi hai.", Bathroom ke andar chehra dhoti Charul toh ye sab sunn kar sharam se mari he jaa rahi thi. Arjun bister ki jagah kursi kareeb rakhte baith gaya.
"Kuch badlaav agar khud ko atche lage toh aisa karna behtar hai na bhabhi? Samay ke sath insaan galat aur sahi ki pehchaan kar he leta hai. Charul ka antarman hamesha uljha raha jo shayad is wajah se bhi ki jiwan ke uddeshya kabhi clear nahi rahe. Ek ladki wale rupantar ko grahan kar pana har mahila khiladi ke liye kathin hota hai, Charul ke liye toh jyada he mushkil tha. Dil ki baat pehle khud keh nahi saki, fir Annu jaisi dost ke sath mann me pratidwandita aana swabhavik bhi tha kyonki dost he toh pratidwandi hote hai. Iske sath he anginat bar khud se he sahi galat ke liye ulajhana asaan toh nahi hota? Itne badlaav aane ke baad kamjor padd jana swabhavik hai bhabhi kyonki fir sirf chahat he bachti hai.", Arjun ke itne gehre kathan par Parul lajwaab thi aur Charul khush. Charul ki halat ka bayaan shayad wo khud bhi itna behtar na kar paati jitna Arjun ne kiya tha. Bathroom se nikalte he usne Parul ke saamne Arjun ke gaal par chumban ankit karte hue sirf 'Thank you' kaha aur gilas utha kar uski taraf badha diya.
"Ab ghusi na tere dimaag me meri aur Annu ki kahi baatein? Ye tujhe hamesha se samajhta raha hai lekin madam toh bas isme bhi akele bhaag lengi aur akele jeetengi. Chal ab apna milkshake khatam kar aur tayaar ho ja.", Parul ki baat sunn kar Charul thodi duri par apne he bister par baith kar doodh peene lagi. Kuch halki fulki baaton ke baad ab Arjun bhi yaha se chal diya, jald milne ka waada karta. Ghadi me 5 bajne wale the aur 6 baje usko Preeti ke ghar Romela se bhi milna tha, jo alag he daane bikherne me lagi thi jiska Arjun ko koyi andaja he na tha.

Pandit ji yaha abhi kuch jyada chehal pehal najar nahi aa rahi thi. Sabhi ladkiyan apne upar wale kamro me band thi aur Rameshwar ji aaj Col sahab ke sath golf khelne nikal gaye the. Kaushalya ji bhi Lalita ji aur Krishna ji ko sath liye aaj Malhotra ji ke ghar chali gayi thi. Unke sath atchi banti thi aur kal he unki bitiya Krishna ji ko apne yaha aane ka jor de kar gayi thi. Rekha ji yaha niche wale hisse me kuch waqt toh Komal ke sath he kaam karti rahi fir khud he apni laadli ko Vinni Madhuri ke pas upar bhej diya.
Sab bas yahi dekhte the ki Rekha jaisi bahu ne ghar ko kitne atche se sambhal rakha hai. Bado ke uthne ke samay se lekar raat sabke sone tak wo nirant he kaam karti rehti thi jiske liye jaane kitni he baar Kaushalya ji aur Lalita ji ne bhi unse narajgi jataai thi. Sasur bahu se jyada Rameshwar ji bhi Rekha ko apni beti aur ghar ka ek pramukh stambh maante the. Lekin kisi ne bhi kabhi ek naari ke antarman ko utne behtar tarike se na samjha jitna jaruri tha.
Majboot stambh! Ye sabko bahar se dikhai deta tha lekin andar ke khokhlepan aur tanaav ko sirf unke bache he jaan paaye the aur unme bhi Komal se aage Arjun nikal chuka tha. Bathroom vyavasthit karne ke baad jaise he Rekha ji ki najar apne kamre par gayi toh vicharo ke itihaas me jaane me ek pal na laga. Is darwaje se he toh unki jethani unhe andar le gayi thi vivah hone ke baad. Sab bahot khush the aur hamesha bharpoor laad-pyaar se pali Rekha bhi laaj-sharam, thode darr aur dhero sapne ke sath udhar dakhil hui thi.
Andhera gehrata gaya tha aur unke pati ki jhalak raat ke aakhiri pehar shuru hone tak na mili. Wo raat 2 baje kamre me dakhil hue the aur bas agle aadhe ghante me Rekha ke sath wahi sab hua jaisa aksar suhaagrat me hota tha bas bina prem aur marji ke. Mooh fer kar sone se pehle unke pati ke lafz the ki tum is pariwar ki bahu ho aur tumhe yaha uchit maan-sammaan milega. Biwi ka darja wo hamesha paayengi lekin pyaar ka haq wo pehle he kisi ko de chuke hai. Jismani dard abhi jajb bhi na hua tha aur ye aatma ko chhalni karte shabdo ne jaise har sapne ko asankhya kaanch ke tukdo me tabdil karke rakh diya.
"Maa! Oh meri pyaari maa, yaha akeli khadi kin khayalo me khoyi hai aap? Sorry jab aaya tha toh aap itni vyast thi ki main mil he nahi paya sahi se. Umaahhh..", Arjun ne jaise he apni maa ko piche se baahupash me lete hue apni baat kehne ke sath gaal ko chooma toh hath ke ghere par 2 garam paani ki boonde mehsoos hui. Ye aansu uski maa Rekha ki aankhon se nikle the jo ateet me mile dard me khoyi thi aur achanaak bahar ka labada uske jism par bich gaya, Arjun ke roop me. Lekin un hatho ko toh wo aansu tejaab se kahi jyada garam aur asehaniya lage.
"Aapki aankhon me ye aansu? Meri..", Arjun apni kasam deta us se pehle he Rekha ji ne apne bete ke hontho par hath rakh diya. Dabdabayi aankhon ke bawjood wo muskura rahi thi.
"Tere pyaar ki wajah se ye aankhen bheeg gayi Arjun. Tera paida hona he jaise mujhko poora kar gaya tha aur tu kabhi mujhe apni kasam nahi dega yaad rakhna.", Ab Arjun pal-bhar khamosh raha lekin usko bina kahe bhi jawaab mil sakta tha. Is aas se apni maa ko saamne se seene lagate hue usne aankhen band kar li. Kaha maloom tha is nadaan ko ki uski maa se wo paida hua hai, jitne wo nahi chahengi unka dard Arjun bhi mehsoos nahi kar sakta.
Rekha sabse jyada samajhti thi apne is nadaan se dil ko jo uske liye he dhadakta tha aur iske pyaar me ratti bhar milawat na thi. Bas is pal me wo uski preyasi bann kar jata rahi thi ki Arjun ke liye uske kuch aur bhi maayne hai. Arjun itne samay gale lagne ke baad bhi bas khud ko he mehsoos karta raha apni maa ke dil me. Ye sabse jatil dil tha aur Arjun unka maatha choom kar peeche hatt gaya.
"Aap nahi batayengi, kasam bhi nahi dunga lekin sach toh kuch aur bhi siway hamare pyaar ke. Raat main aapke pas sone wala hu maa.", Arjun itna bol kar bas apni maa ke shaant chehre ko dekhta raha. Un gehri aankhon me bhi sirf Arjun ka he aks tha lekin Arjun itna jaan chuka tha ki maa ke wo aansu prem ka mishran liye dil ko thandak dene ki jagah peeda se bhare khaulte hue tejaab se the.
"Tere papa aayenge toh unhe kya kahungi? Tu mooh hath dho le main doodh bana deti hu.", Rekha ji muskura kar taal rahi thi lekin Arjun ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Wo aayenge bhi toh chacha ke sath baithak me soyenge. In dono kamro me meri maa aur chachi maa ke sath bas main he hu. Waise doodh main pee kar aaya hu, aap rehne dijiye.", Arjun ne ek taraf rakhe dhule hue kapdo se toliya uthate hue kaha aur 2 kadam palat gaya. Lekin fir ek baar mudd kar bol utha.
"Ab main aisi koyi koshish nahi karunga jis se aapko dukh ho. Main aapka he hu maa, har swaroop me aapka. Aap jitni bhi parat audh lijiye sabse andruni kokh se ek maa aur premika kuch bhi chhipa nahi sakti. Aainda gujre waqt se wo yaadein bahar matt laiyega jinme mera astitva na ho.", Arjun ek baar phir se unke gaal choom kar upar wale apne bathroom ki aur badh chala. Rekha ji ke chehre par khushi ke bawjood hairat bhi najar thi.
Wo apne bhagwaan par he bhaari padd gaya tha gale lagne se thik us dev (celestial) Nar ki tarah jiska sabkuch Narayan the. Dana khilane wala kaha chugga leta hai. Rekha apni galti yaad karte hue aap par he muskura uthi kyonki premika ke roop me bhi Arjun kamjori toh bhaamp he sakta tha.
