Jaari....



"Haan toh pichle 3 ghante se meri najar tujhpe he hai. Chal chupchap idhar chal.", Ye sadharan kad-kaathi ka ladka apni gardan par aisi majboot pakad dekh jaise Shankar ne kaha tha waise he is sunsaan imaarat me aage badh lia. Idhar market khatam he ho jati thi aur purani imaarte ya khandhar se kuch waise he ghar the. Dono he jab is andhere se toote-foote kamre me aa khade hue toh Shankar ne sard lehje me usko ghoor ke dekha.

"Woh.. woh meri koi galti nahi hai ji. Mujhe toh bas kaam mila tha aur paise. Aapki photo dete hue mujhe bas aapka peecha karne aur jis se bhi milte ho unki tasveer lene ke liye kaha tha."

"Photo kaha hai? Aur kaam kisne dia tha? Poori baat bata dega toh azaad kar dunga.", Us yuvak ki halat baaj ke kabje me kabootar si thi. Aankho ke khauf se he peshani par paani ki bunde ubhar aai.

"Ye raha camera. Reel isme he hai ji. Kal phone aaya tha aur aaj subah aapke address ke sath photo aur paise de kar ek tagdi si ladki koi 30 ke aas-pas aur utni he umar ka pehalwan sa ladka mere ghar aaye the. Phone jisne kia tha woh bhi aurat he thi lekin shayad thodi badi umar ki aur desi lehje wali. Naam kisi ka nahi pata main sach keh raha hu ji. Mera dhanda bas paise ke badle jaankari ekattha karke dene ka hai. Is se jyada mujhe nahi pata kisi ke baare me aur aapke ghar se he main peecha kar raha tha."

"Poori baat itni he thi.?"

"Ji woh ladki us ladke ko itna he boli thi ki 'chal Bijju ab budhiya ki khabar lete hai, tasvir is se mama le jayega.'"

"kaddaak" ki is awaaj par Shankar ne hairat se dekh toh woh ladka tooti daal sa jameen par aur uska bhai camera uthane ke sath he hath pakad kar bahar chal dia.

"Tum pagal ho? Woh kya kia tumne?", Shankar apne chote bhai ko dhyaan se dekh raha tha jiske chehre par alag muskaan thi.

"Samay kharaab kar rahe ho bhai. Hamara ghar koi cantt nahi hai jo koi bhi pariwar ke logo ki jaankari na hansil kar sake. Bas idhar koi aa nahi sakta kyonki yaha purane log rehte hai jo ek dusre ko jaante hai. Ye ladka bahar se aaya tha jo ki iska lehja aur baat karne ke tarike se maloom chal he raha tha. Woh line usko aise he kehne ke liye kaha gaya tha jis se hamara dhyaan Sushila, uske dono bacho aur Mohar Singh par rahe. Automatic slim camera 40000 ke aas-pas ka yaha ke kisi jasoos ke pas bahot mushkil baat hai. Aur sabse badi baat woh tujhe dhyaan se dekh raha tha matlab woh tere baare me jyada nahi janta tha. Iske peeche woh hai jo hamare bare me utna he jaanta hai jitna 20-22 saal pehle mila koi dost.", Narinder ki har baat sateek thi.

"hmmm. Idhar ki taraf ka sheesha band tha aur tu andar baitha tha, waha kaise dekh lia tune.?", Gaadi ke pas dono aa khade hue the aur Shankar wahi se usko woh band sheesha dikha raha tha jis se peeche najar rakhi jaati hai sadak par.

"Gaadi me baith aur dekh le.", Dono andar aaye toh Shankar ki najar us neeli film wale chasme par padi jo dashboard ke upar rakha tha.

"Sahi baat hai. Jaldi he kaam aa gaya ye."

"Kya kaam aa gaya aur tum dono ke kaam nahi khatam ho rahe kya?", Madhu ki baat sunte he dono muskurane lage.

"Chal bebe ab ghar jaa ke tu chai pila dio fir tayaari bhi karni hai.", Itna kehne ke sath he woh gaadi chalate hue idhar se nikal chale.

"Ye main hu?", Arjun market se seedha Preeti ke ghar chala aaya tha Renuka ko liye. Sabse milne ke baad woh Romela ke kamre ka darwaja khula dekh andar chala aaya jaha Romela bonsai ko saaf kar rahi thi. Woh gulab ka paudha bhi ek 10 inchi gamle me halki roshni le raha tha. Bister ke dusri taraf lage desk ke upar he charcoal ke tukde, pencil aur kuch chitra rakhe the. Pehle wala chitra gaanv ki 2 mahilao ka tha jo sar pe paani ka ghada liye ja rahi thi. Saaf aur bilkul sateek bana hua. Romela mahir thi jaise. Lekin agli badi sheet par Arjun ne jo sharir dekha woh uska khud ka tha. Bhoore rang ki is sheet par aakriti ko choddkar sara hissa kalapan liye tha jis wajah se drawing ubhar kar bahar aa rahi thi. Peeth ke taraf se bana ye chitra saaf bata raha tha Arjun ke sharir ka kataav, ek taraf ka chehra aur nirvastra prisht bhaag.

"This is wrong Arjun. That is personal stuff.", Woh muskurati hui desk ke pas aa khadi hui aur us chitra ko he dekhne lagi jo pichli raat usne banaya tha.

"Exactly. Ye main hu aur us halat me jo nahi honi chahiye. Lekin ye banaya kaise aapne?"

"Ye bas ek base sketch hai, I will convert it into something big and colorful. Hope you like it.", Romela ne ek folder me woh sabhi kaagaj band karte hue kaha. Uske aise jhukne se Arjun ka dhyaan ek pal ke liye un gulabi bade ubharo par gaya jinki gehri khaai bata rahi thi ki Romela har taraf se bhari-poori hai. Lekin fir khud ko sambhalta hua woh bina kuch kahe bahar nikal gaya.

"Strange. I hate when people admire my art and leave without making any compliment. But you are special my dear. Muaah.", Romela khudse itna kehti hui kuch jyada he khush thi. Baaki saaman ko bhi woh thik se andar rakhne lagi.

"Lunch karoge?", Preeti ne Arjun ko drawing hall me paani peete dekha toh puch lia. Samay nahi hua tha abhi lekin woh jaan-na chahti thi ki Arjun abhi yahi hai ya ja raha hai.

"Nahi, abhi toh chachi ke pas jana hai aur fir bahar kuch kaam se. Tum didi ke pas gai thi kya?"

"Wahi se aa rahi hu. Viky aaj Alka didi ke kabje me hai. Thoda lesson woh bhi leke he aayegi. Bua kaha hai?"

"Tumhare kamre me."

"Chalo aa jao fir andar.", Preeti usko apne sath he kamre me le aai.

"Wow. Bua ye sab kiske liye hai.?", Bister par rakhe itne sare naram joote chappal dekhte he woh uchal kar bed par aa baithi.

"Tumhe jo bhi pasand ho tum le sakti ho.", Renuka bua ne muskurate hue jawaab dia. Preeti un safed gulabi mulayam se dastane jaise juto ko dekhne lagi. Ye waise he the jaise naram baalo wale khilone.

"Waise ye itni flexible si chappal aur bellies kis khushi me li hai?"

"Woh jo bua ki khushi aa rahi hai na uski wajah se li hai. Yaha tum dhyaan rakhna ke inke paanv me sakht chapple na ho. Waha toh main pehan-ne dunga nahi inhe."

"Oh fir toh ye mere kaam ki nahi hai. Inko pehan-ne ki itni badi wajah hai toh fir apne liye toh purane he thik hai.", Preeti ki shaitani muskaan se Renuka bua ke gaal laal ho gaye the.

"Kamre me pehan sakti ho ye wale. Towel cloth he hai toh thik rahenge. Chalta hu ab aur shaam ko milta hu.", Arjun un dono ko wahi chodd apne ghar aa gaya. Yaha mahol shant tha jiski badi wajah Arjun ki sabhi behno ka upar kamre me hona tha. Sabhi is waqt upar wale drawing haal me television si chipki hui thi aur Alka-Ritu Viky ko alag liye apni baaton me magan thi. Neeche Sanjiv bhaiya apne dadaji ke sath baithe the aur unhe pareshan kiye bina Arjun seedha maa ke kamre me aa gaya.

"ye rakh dijiye. Papa ne dia tha market me mujhe.", Rekha ji ek baar fir se naha dho kar ab saaf saree aur blouse me apne baal sahi kar rahi thi aur Krishna chachi araam se soyi hui thi. Rekha ne apne bete ke hath me ye khas chasma dekha toh muskura uthi.

"Toh aaj tere papa ne tujhe ye pehan ne ke liye de he dia."

"Isme khas kya hai maa? Hamesha se bas maine ye papa ko he pehne dekha hai woh bhi jab woh ghar aate hai."

"Mujhe bhi bas itna pata hai ki tere papa ka ye behad khas hai. Main jyada toh kabhi kuch pooch he nahi paai unse.", Rekha ji ne wapis woh almari me apne thikane rakh dia tha.

"Chachi kab soyi hai?"

"Bas thodi der pehle he sulaya hai maine. Ye toh araam he nahi karna chahti thi isliye dawa di. Chal main thodi tayaar kar du fir tere papa ne bhi jana hai chacha-chachi ke sath."

"Papa bhi ja rahe hai?"

"Haan lekin hafte tak wapis aa jayenge. Tu ab thodi der sona chahta hai toh upar chala ja nahi toh padh le.", Arjun haami bharta fir se nikal chala, Bimla devi ko dopahar ke bhojan ka vada kia tha aur abhi bhi dedh ghanta pada tha uske pas. Kuch sochta hua woh pehle apne kamre me gaya aur fir bahar se he nikal chala bullet liye.

"Shankar thode samay ke liye sab bhool kar pariwar me reh. Jitna dhyaan dega utna kaam kharaab ho sakta hai.", Narinder aur Shankar dono he baithak me akele baithe the. Kaushalya ji ke sath he Rekha aur Lalita ji unka samaan pack kar rahi thi.

"Yar main kabhi bhi apne chehre par pareshani aane deta hu kya?"

"Atcha chal agar tujhe araam he chahiye toh main teri aadhi samasya ka nivaran kar deta hu."

"Kaise Inder? Aur kaunsi samasya, ye photo?"

"Dekh Shankar jaisa maine pehle kaha ke woh ladka bahar ka tha, jo line kabhi bhi ek kaam dene wala insaan nahi keh sakta usne tujhe woh bataai. Fir ghar pariwar ki photo lene wali baat jo Mohar Singh katai tere yaha hone par nahi karta. Usko pata hai ke uske aadmi tune gayab kar diye, Sushila bhi aisa nahi karegi. Uski dono aulad woh kaise bhej sakti hai?"

"Wahi baat toh main itni der se soch raha hu."

"Is photo par samay dekh jara.", Narinder ne lens aur reel samne karte hue kaha. Shankar ne pehli photo dekhi toh woh Arjun aur Renuka ki thi, jab woh ghar se nikle the. Uske baad bhi un dono ki kuch tasveer aur baad me Shankar ki gaadi ki jo shayad unke he sector ki rahi hogi.

"Matlab jo bhi hai woh Arjun par najar rakhte hue uske pariwar ki jaankari juta raha tha.?", Shankar ke sawaal me jawaab bhi tha.

"Hmm. Aur ye aakhiri tasveer usne Madhu ki li thi matlab is samay woh galat jagah pahuch chuka tha jaha uska kaam ho gaya. Aisa kaun ho sakta hai jo tujhe nahi jaanta lekin Arjun ke pariwar aur uski jasoosi karwaye?", Narinder ke is baat par jor dene par Shankar ka chehra gambhir ho gaya.

"Ladki. Koi ameer ladki aur aurat jisko ya toh Arjun pasand ho ya fir woh koi badla le rahi ho.", Narinder ke chehre ki alag muskaan jaise Shankar ki baat se sarokar rakhti ho.

"Ya fir ye dhyaan hatana bhi ho sakta hai. Jaise hum soch rahe hai. Kyonki waha Sombir Singh ki badi bahu ka naam aaya hai. Chal ye bata de ke Bindu ki beti ke baare me kitna maloom hai tujhe?"

"Ye galti ho gai Inder. Aur shayad woh ladki meri najar se bach bhi gai ho kyonki Arjun par har waqt najar rakhwana mehnga sabit ho jayega aur woh hamari soch se kahi tej hai. Ye pehli photo me he usne aankhe camera ki taraf ki hui hai, matlab woh andekhi kar raha tha jaan boojh kar. Ye jo koi bhi hai Arjun uski mansha jaan chuka hai Inder."

"Abhi kaha hai woh? Araam se he poochna jis se kisi ko shaq na ho.", Narinder ko bhi pata tha ke Shankar ne sahi dhyaan dia th photo par. Aur Arjun ne market wali tasveer me bhi camera aur ladke, dono ko dekh lia tha. Shankar ne apni biwi se Arjun ke baare me poocha toh unhone bhi itna he kaha ke 3 baje tak aane ka bol kar gaya hai. Khana apne dost ke ghar he kha kar aayega.

"Iske kitne dost hai?", Narinder aur Shankar araam se bahar nikal chale, car bhi Sanjiv wali nikal kar.

"Sandeep, Dharampal ka beta. Lekin waha wo nahi gaya hoga. Poora pariwar ganv gaya hua hai, kal hum dono he toh mile the Dharampal se gate ke bahar. Vikas bhi ghar hai aur Balbir ke pas woh hostel kya karega jaa ke? Gadi wapis le Inder. Col sahab ke ghar.", Shankar ki baat par Narinder ne bhi turant sector se gaadi wapis ghuma li.

"Waha woh motorcycle leke kyo jaane laga?"

"Inder woh Renuka ke sath us dukaan par pehle bhi aaya tha aur fir woh dono nikal gaye the aur 20-25 minute baad aaye the. Tune reel kaha rakhi hai? Saari photo dekhi thi kya?", Shankar ki baat sunte he Inder ne gaadi ek taraf lagate hue jeb se lens aur reel dono bahar nikal liye.

"Maine beech ki photo nahi dekhi thi kyonki mujhe laga ke upar aur aakhir ki photo bahot hongi. Kareeb 30 tasveer thi toh 5-6 reh gai shayad.", Aur fir kuch soch kar reel aur lens Shankar ko thamate hue gaadi ghar wali sadak par le aaye. Dono ne ek baar sheeshe me apne chehro ke bhaav dekhe aur muskurate hue andar chal diye.

"Aaj toh dono sher ikhatthe. Waah bhai lagta hai Col party ki tayaari karni bhool gaya.", Col sahab ki baat par hanste hue dono he kursi kheench kar baith gaye. Romela apne kamre me thi aur Preeti Shankar ji ke he ghar, jaha Viky pehle se he thi.

"Koi baat nahi chacha, 3 gilas banane me der he kitni lagti hai.", Narinder ki baat sunn kar Col sahab andar chal diye apni bottle aur gilas lene aur Renuka paani lekar idhar aai toh Shankar ji ne bina laag-lapete sawaal daag dia

"Renuka, tum log kapde lene se pehle kahi gaye the?"

"Haan bhaiya woh gaushala gaye the na."

"Nahi mera matlab ki us dukan par ek baar aane ke baad fir kahi gaye the."

"Haan bhaiya woh mujhe soft slippers lene the toh Arjun wahi le gaya tha."

"Arjun ne he pasand kiye honge, kyonki woh hamesha se sahi cheej pehchanta hai. Mujhe bhi aaj usne ye chasma dia jo kaam ka he nikla.", Shankar ji ki muskurahat dekh kar Renuka ne bhi waise he andaaj se muskurate hue kaha.

"Haan usko pata rehta hai ke kisko kya cheej leni chahiye. Lekin woh kuch der ke liye bahar gaya tha motorcycle ki chabi shayad gir gai thi. Fir 10 minute dhoondne ke baad park ke pas he mil gai thi. Fir woh andar aake sara samaan khud pack karwane ke baad mujhe wahi le aaya tha jaha aap log the."

"Thoda dhaan rakha karo uska, shararti hota ja raha hai din pratidin.", Narinder ji ne baat badal di thi jaise he samne se aate Col sahab ko dekha. Renuka unki baat par halke se sharmati hui fridge ki taraf chal di, baraf aur or pani lene ke liye.

"Haan bhi puttaro, scotch ya single malt?"

"Single." "Single", dono ke swar ek sath he nikle aur ek jaise toh col sahab bhi hanste hue teeno ke gilas me woh bhoori mehngi bottle se sunehari taral udelne lage. 4-4 baraf ke tukde daalne ke baad sharaab jitna he pani daalte hue teeno ne gilas aadar se ek dusre ki taraf dikhaye aur ek choti si ghoont bhari. Yaha unhone gilas takraye nahi the.

"Yar Shankar 2 minute de, maine na murga rakha hua tha aur Renuka ho gai hai pakki brahman kuch mahino se toh bas abhi aaya.", Shankar ji ne Renuka ko bhi apne kamre me jaate hue dekha aur reel par ek jagah ungli rakhte hue Narinder ke hath me lens de dia.

"Behanchod ye ladka kya bala hai? Uski he photo utaar li isne toh. Matlab usne jaankari le li hogi aur is ladke ko aise he chodd dia matlab usko tere bare me bhi pata tha.?"

"Joote ki dukan park ke pas hai, park se peeche wahi gali jaha modd par main cigrettee foonk raha tha. Arjun ne mujhe dekh lia tha yakinan. Lekin jaise woh ladka apni baat par adaa raha tha aur darr raha tha toh Arjun ko usne kuch alag nahi bataya hoga."

"Filhal yahi maan lena behtar rahega. Chal ab thanda ho ja aur teri wajah se itne saalo baad dopahar me daru peeni padd gai."

"2-2 he lene hai. Fir yahi murga laga ke sab saaf.", Ab koi hal nahi tha toh dono ke pas toh hanste hue is choti si mehfil ka he maja lene lage. Lekin hariaan aur khush bhi the ki ladka unse aage chal raha hai.

Arjun paune ek baje is gaanv wali sadak par araam se motorcycle chalata hua Saadhu Singh ke ghar pahuch gaya tha. Baahar is samay bhainso ke baade par tirpaal lagi thi, unhe dhoop se bachane ke liye. Arjun jyada na sochta hua darwaje ki taraf badha toh waha Mahender ki motorcycle bhi nahi khadi thi.

"Thakk-thakk", Bahar lagi lohe ki kadi darwaje par bajata woh pratiksha karne laga, kisi ke udhar aane ki. Khule aangan ke dusri taraf ke kone se Bimla Devi uski he taraf chali aa rahi thi. Mehndi rang ka safed aur sunehari chaap wala paramparik ghaghra aur kameej pehne. Hath aur paanv halke geele the aur thoda bahut lehnga bhi, jaise woh paani se juda koi kaam kar rahi thi abhi. Kaajal ko apna sharir Bimla devi se he mila tha jo ek bharpoor gadraai aur kade sharir ki swamini thi.

"Arre beta tum aaye ho. Aao andar aa jao. Atcha laga ke tum vaade ke toh pakke ho.", Mooh ke samne se chunni hatati woh khushi se Arjun ko andar le aai aur andar se woh sankal bhi darwaje ki chaukat par laga kar usko band kar dia.

"Uncle aur Mahender bhaiya najar nahi aa rahe?", Arjun ne jaanboojh kar Kaajal ka naam na lia. Bimla devi bhi uske liye khaat bichane ke baad ek peetal ke bade gilas me laasi lekar uske pas baith gai.

"Tere uncle toh apne naam ko he sarthak karne me jute hai aur Minder ka toh shehar he bhala. Aa jayega ghoom fir ke saanjh chupe. Le tu lassi pi fir main khana banati hu. Aur agar ruk ke khana hai toh chal ghar aur pichla khalihaan-sabjiya dikhati hu tujhe. Desi log hai beta aur waisa he khaan-paan hai.", Bimla devi ke ghaghre se unke ujle lekin majboot paanv jhaank rahe the. Waise he unka parvat sa bada seena apni dono samkaksh chottiyan ubhare tha. Arjun ne unhe apni taraf dekhte paya toh waise he unhe bhi nihar lia. Bimla devi is jawaan ladke dwara khud ka nihara jana dekh muskura uthi.

"Aunty ji desi rehan sehan he toh saadgi wala hai aur khana bhi saaf aur taqat dene wala. Milawat se toh jiwan aur sharir dono kharaab hote hai."

"Arre beta ye amrit wani wali baatein hai sab. Logo ko toh gori mem aur hotel ka khana he bhata hai.", Unki aisi khari baat sunkar Arjun hansne laga.

"Aap Romela aunty ki wajah se toh nahi keh rahi?"

"Arre woh matbal nahi tha mera lekin tunhe atcha yaad dilaya. Dekha nahi chaupal aur saamne wale jeth ji bhi usko he ghoor rahe the. Mardo ka toh din me bas nahi chalta haa. Aur yahi gaanv ki mehnatkash aur ghar sambhalnewali ki zindagi bas chulhe aur pashuo tak simit. Koi poochne wala nahi ke hamari halat kya hai.", Apni baat kuch rok kar woh jaise jo kehna chahti thi keh gai.

"Nahi aunty woh sirf rangat ya kuch anokha pehli bar dekhne ki wajah se he aakarshan hota hai. Mujhe toh alag nahi lagta kuch. Chaliye aapka ghar he dekhte hai, roti toh 2 baje tak he khaata hu main.", Arjun ke sath woh bhi khadi hui aur usko andar wali dusri rasoi dikhati hui sabke kamre dikhane lagi. 6-7 kamre the yaha jaise sabke he alag alag.

"Aunty itne saare kamre? Log toh 4 he hain ghar me.", Arjun ne galiyare se he pehle kamre me jaha ek diwan, televsion aur hukka rakha tha.

"Is ghar me bas kamre he hai beta, pariwar ya pyaar nahi. Ye tere uncle ka kamra hai aur idhar wala Minder ka. Dekh duniya jaha ka kabaad milega yaha. Aur ye wala Kajal ko jo band he rakhti hai woh.", Bimla devi ke swar me narajgi aur khud ke parti andekhi thi.

"Aap uncle ke kamre me nahi rehti?", Arjun ko tajjub hua jaan kar.

"Nahi re mera kamra toh ye janwaro ke chare wale se agla hai, haudi ke sath he. Lekin isme rehne se atcha main garmi ke waqt chatt pe he so jaat hu ya barish ho toh idhar galiyare me. Idhar se ye peeche ka rasta hai.", Yaha pani ki tanki bani hui thi unke kamre ke saamne aur bartan dhone ki jagah. Ek darwaja kholte he woh pichle khule khet jaise hisse me aa gaye. Yaha 5-6 bade peid lage the aur choti choti bagichi me alag alag sabjiya. Yaha bhi paani dene ke liye ek khuli tanki bani thi. Is taraf kahi jyada he jameen thi unke ghar ke hisaab se.

"Ye toh sachmuch badi atchi jagah hai. Jitni ye baad lagi hai kya sari jagah aapki hai?"

"4 kille hai ye poore aur inki dekhrekh main akeli karti hu. Kabhi kabhi devrani madad kar deti hai lekin apna waqt toh yahi katt jata hai.", Neem ke ghane peid ke neeche bichi khaat par Arjun ke sath baithti woh sab taraf dekh rahi thi. Poora hissa unhi ka tha aur 5 feet unchai ki katili baad par har taraf faliyo ki beil aur safede ke patle lambe peid kataar se lage the.

"Waise ek baat puchu tujhse?", Unke aise ye baat kehne se Arjun ne dhyaan se unhe dekha.

"Be-jhijhak puchiye. Aapko toh aisa kehna he nahi chahiye."

"Tera hamari Kaajal ke sath chakkar kabse chal raha hai?", Arjun ek pal ke liye tohda hairan hua lekin woh aisi jagah tha jaha woh dono he the aur jawab sahi dene he jaruri tha. Kyonki unki baat se itna toh pata chal he gaya tha ke woh sab jaanti hai.

"Koi dedh mahine se. Lekin aap kya chahti hai? Jab aapko pata hai aur aapne ye baat mujhse aise seedha akele me he ki hai toh kuch toh aap bhi chahti hongi.", Arjun ki baat sunkar Bimla devi ne uski taraf muskura kar dekha.

"Samajhdar hai tu jo baat ke peeche ki wajah puchne me samay nahi gavaya."

"Ladki ka rishta kar chuki ho, usko mere sath dekhne ke baad usko, mujhe ya apne ghar me kuch nahi kaha aapne toh jarur wajah toh hogi he."

"Tu seedhi baat karta hai toh main bhi teri he tarah hu. Mann me nahi rakhti kuch. Tu Kaajal ko jab tak chahe chod, jaha tum dono ka dil kare waha kar. Mujhe toh lagta hai ke woh bacha bhi tere se he janegi kyonki mard toh uska mard hai nahi. Lekin is budhiya par mahine dedh me najar rakh lia kar. Aisa nahi hai ke Bimla sabke saamne ghaghri khol deti hai, tere uncle ne he aakhri baar kia tha woh bhi jab Kajal 5 baras ki thi. Aur ye na sochna ke main ye isliye keh rahi hu ki main tum dono ke samband jaanti hu aur iska faayda le rahi hu. Bas jaise tum dono ko dekha tha na woh tasveer dimaag se ja nahi rahi. Jo aag itne saal tak bas kabhi 15-20 din me ungli se rokti aa rahi thi woh ab sharir jalane lagi hai aur isko toh tere jaisa ghoda he thanda kar sakta hai. Baaki teri marji hai aur main tere mana karne ke baad ye baat apne mooh par fir nahi laungi.", Bimla ka chehra wahi hariyali bagichi ki taraf shunya bhaav se ruka hua tha. Apni he row me behti woh poori baat spasht keh gai thi.

"Aapka bukhar abhi utarna hai ya kisi khas din?", Arjun ne jaise he ye kaha toh Bimla ke chehre par sukoon ke sath aankho me nami aa gai.

"Tu sach me is budhiya ki baat maan raha hai? Main ab bhi keh rahi hu ki tu naa bhi karega tab bhi tu Kajal ke sath jaari reh sakta hai. Usme chudaas jarur hai lekin woh ghodi khud tere pe marti hai. Biradari me uski shaadi toh rukne se rahi aur meri laadli ki khushiyon ke beech main kisi ko aane nahi dene wali."

"Woh jaisa chalega jabtak chalega dekha jayega. Aap apni baat karo.", Arjun ne sapaat tarike se gend unke paale me fenk di.

"2 baje khana khata hai na tu, paun ghanta hai aur tere samay pe main khana khila dungi tujhe.", Woh muskurati hui uthne lagi toh Arjun ne woh majboot chikni kalai thaam li. Rangat hatho ki gehua jarur thi Bimla devi ki kaam karne ki wajah se, lekin baal ek na tha. Aur hath bata raha tha ke woh sharir se abhi tak jawaan aur sakht hai.

"Aur deri hui toh uska jurmana?", Arjun ne halki hansi ke sath unhe dekha. Bimla devi bas apni kalai pakde jaane se he peit me tarange mehsoos karne lagi thi. Haath aur peit par roye ubarne lage the Arjun ke mardana sparsh maatra se.

"Tera jurmana mujhe bhi pata hai. Pichla hissa bhi tera agar aisa hua toh. Pasand hai na tujhko waha bhi karna, meri laadli le sakti hai toh main uski maa hu."

"Chaliye kya pata aap he kuch sikha de.", Arjun hath thame he unke peeche chalne laga.

"Khul kar bolna aur galiyan dena ek alag he maja deta hai. Lekin mujhe nahi lagta tu waisa karega.", Bimla devi ne apne kamre ke kiwad khole aur usko andar laati fir se darwaja lagane lagi.

"Darwaja khula rehne do. Kitne darwaje band karogi jab yaha wala khulna he hai. Haan gaaliyan pasand nahi khul kar jo marji boliye.", Arjun ne Bimla devi ko apni taraf kheenchte hue darwaja band karne se rok lia. Woh jaandar aurat bhi halke kapde ki tarah uske chaude seene se aa lagi.

"Toh fir tayaar ho ja asli chudai ke liye. Shehar me jaane kya kehte honge lekin beta gaanv me jo bhi kehte hai woh ab tu atche se sunega.", Bimla devi ne toh seedha uska lund pakad kar he masalna shuru kar dia. Arjun samajh gaya tha ke woh utawali ho rahi hai aur jitna asaan unhe lag raha hai utna ye hone wala nahi.

"Karo tayaar jara main bhi dekhu. Aapki beti ne jitna sikhaya hai main utna he jaanta hu.", Arjun ne dikhane ke liye hathiyar daal diye the aur Bimla devi ne apni chunari ek taraf fenkte hue blouse ke saamne wale 4 button khol kar woh bade desi tarbooj ajaad kar diye. Arjun ek pal toh un gore-bhoore asadharan chucho ko dekhta raha jinke chuchak aadha inch lambe aur patli ungli se motte, gehre bhoore rang ke the. Dehat me shayad bra pehan-ne ka riwaj he na tha.

"Le fir aaj dekh ye jaatni kya haal karti hai tera.", Dono papito ko aapas me ek bar dabati woh jameen par ghutne modd kar baith gai. Arjun ki jeans khol kar jaise he uska ardh-sakht lund dekha toh lapak kar pakad lia.

"Bada tagda lauda he tera abhi se he. Dekhu kitna bada ho sake hai yo?", Lund haht me pakadte he boli bhi theth ho gai thi aur uski khaal hilati woh lund ko sakht karne lagi. Arjun bhi us lakdi ke majboot diwan ke kinare baith gaya, Bimla devi ko poori sahuliyat dete hue.

"Ab tagda hai ya nahi woh toh aap he batayengi.", Lauda shabd pehli baar Arjun ne Sanjiv bhaiya ke mooh se suna tha aur aaj dusri baar Bimla ke.

"Mutthi me naa aa raha tha tagda he kahungi. Le dekh jara ye kasrat.", Uske lund par thook tapkati woh apne dono bade tarbooj se chucho ke beech dabakar kass ke hilane lagi. Ye sachmuch naya ehsaas tha. Mulayam aur gaddedar chuche us paun foot ke tagde lund ko aur motta karne lage. Arjun ne thoda jhukte hue dono nipple ungiyo me pakad kar masalne shuru kiye toh Bimla ki aankhe bhi masti se band hone lagi.

"Aah re.. jor ki daba ye ghundiya. Bahot din baad toh hath lagya hai inpe. Tera lauda bhi kuch jyada he badda hai, dur se dekhan par toh itna na lage tha."

"Aunty abhi thodi der baad lene he wali ho. Pata chal he jayega."

"Aahh.. ab chuchiyan khol ke yo masal rahi hu toh bhajan na karne wali. Chudne ke liye he tayaar karu hu na beta.. aah.", Jab lund atche se chikna ho gaya toh apne ghaghre ka side me bandha naada kholti woh ab poori tarah nangi uske saamne khadi thi. Mansal aur motte patt, halka ubhra peit, ek inch gehtri naabhi aur motti choot ke upar ghungrale baalo ka chota sa jungle. Choot ke honth thode bhoore the gore sharir ki tulna me, faanke kuch bahar ko. Badi madakta se apni ungli geeli karti woh choot ki darar me daalte hue Arjun ko dekhne lagi.

"Bada tagda sharir hai aunty aapka. Ab dekh ke lag raha hai ke uncle aapko mushkil se sambhalte honge.", Agar inchitape se maapa jaata toh Bimla ke chuche kahi bhi 42-44 se kam na the aur woh bhi kisi khaas bade bra cup me samane layak. 34 ki gudaaj kamar aur 44-46 ke lagbhag bade aur bhari chuttad.

"Tagda hai tabhi toh tujhe pasand kia. Tere uncle ka lund toh thik hai lekin garmi 2 minute na jhel sakta woh aadmi. Chal ab tu bhi nikaad le kapde aur dekhu kitni khaat-kabaddi sikhai hai meri beti ne.", Arjun bhi apne kapde nikalta poora nirvastra unke saamne khada ho gaya.

"Mooh me logi?"

"Tu bol mere bete main mooh, choot aur gaand sabme le lungi bas geela karte he ek baar jamm ke meri raam-pyaari koot de.", Diwan par baith ke woh dono hatho se uska lund/lauda pakad kar jeebh lagati jaise swaad dekhne lagi. Fir himmat karti apna mooh khol kar poora supada nigal gai. Arjun bhi unke bade chucho ko kass ke masalta halke dhakke se dene laga. Aadhe se kuch kam he lund lia tha ke ek minute me he khaansti woh us se alag ho gai.

"Jaad dukha di re isne toh. Ghanna he motta hai tera. Chal eb aaja.", Taange khole woh diwan par pasri toh Arjun hanste hue upar aa gaya.

"Teil nahi hai?"

"2 bache kaad diye isme se aur geeli bhi hai, teil se achaar dalega?", Ho gai galti Bimla devi se.

"Aahhh.. betichoddd.. maar dia re.. faad di meriiii..aahh maa ri marr gai main", Bas yahi chillane ki awaaje mooh se foot padi jaise he Arjun ne 1-2 baar us ubhri hui choot par supada firane ke baad dono motti jaanghe failate hue dhakka lagaya. 13 saal se jo choot sirf peshab ke kaam li gai ho aur yada-kada he ungli ne usko sehlaya ho woh teen inch motte lund ke saamne kya tikti. Kamjor kapde ki taraf choot ko faadta Arjun ka lund 5 inch andar ja baitha. Unke dono chuche mutthi me bhar kar woh bina ruke utne he lund se chudai karne laga. Choot ki nichli kinari se khoon ki chand bunde bister par girne lagi thi lekin 15-20 dhakko se he Bimla devi ka dard thoda kam hote hue unki choot me paani banane laga.

"Aunty ab thik hai na? Waise aap andar se toh Kaajal jitni he kasi hui ho.. aah.. garam bhi."

"Kameen.. choot faad ke rakh di re. Maine lage tha ke araam se ghuss je ga. Ghana he badda le lia aaj muniya ne.. aahhh. beta thodi dekh ke chudai kare kar.. Jawaan chhori toh marr je gi iske neeche aati... aahhh.. ahhh..", Agle 3-4 minute me he ab unki badi gaand thodi hawa me upar uchalti poora jadd tak woh khunta apne andar le rahi thi. Bimla ki choot bhi apni hadd tak usko mehsoos karke khule nal si jhaddne lagi.. Itni he der me kamar aur chuttado ki darar me paseena aa gaya tha.

"Chalo ghodi bano aap fir karta hu aapki sawari.", Arjun ne gaand par halke se thappad mara toh waha ka mans spring ki tarah hilne laga.

"Aah.. beta. Khiladi aadmi niklya re tu toh. Choot bhi jhaad di aur eb gaand bhi maarega."

"Na aunty, aaj sirf choot. Woh bhi aap jab tak mana na kar do.", Arjun ko yahi aasan toh pasand tha har bhaari mahila ke sath. Faile hue motte chuttad aur beech se dikhti woh bhoori motti choot jiski haalt itni he der me badal chuki thi. Laal maans ke beech waise he rang ka supada bhidata woh kisi ghode ke tarah he poora andar daalte hue Bimla par chadd gaya. Dono bade chuche ab jaise uske liye lagaam ka kaam kar rahe the jinhe kheenchta woh is ghodi ko kaabu kiye tha.

"Aahhhhmmm. maa ri bacha le.. Kasoota janwar hai tu toh. Is tariya aur bhi bheetar lage hai..aahh mmmm.", Na honth choose the na sharir masle the, seedha chudai jaise Bimla devi ko bhari padd rhai thi. Har dhakke par woh poora kaamp rahi thi.

"Arre tere baap ne bhi na choda tha is taraya toh.. Aahh maa. Jalan ho ri hai beta thoda dhire kar.", Usko maloom na tha ke woh kya bol gai thi lekin ye baat sunkar Arjun ab kahi jyada uttejjit hota hua bina ruke supade se jadd tak us gaanv ki tagdi ghodi ki choot ko kholne laga. Ek baar fir dard ki jagah Bimla ke sharir me maja bharne laga tha. Nipple daba daba ke Arjun ne suja diye the aur ab woh lund bahar nikal kar Bimla ko apni marji se bister ke kinare laata farsh pe khade ho kar aur buri tarah se pelne laga. Dono chuche saamne the aur giraft me jinhe Arjun ne hontho me dabate hue peena shuru kar dia.

"Aahh.. kaha chudwan ki soch li Bimla, ghoda toh fer bhi hatt je hai lekin you toh aahhh. faad ke he hatega..", Choot se paani rista hua bister ke kinare dhabba bana raha tha aur choot ke bahar ke baal bhi ab sharir se chipak gaye the bahar nikalte geelepan se.

"Aunty sach me bada kasa hua badan hai aapka. Agli baar tayaari se aaunga nahi toh pichle hisse me jaldi na ho jau.", Itni der baad bhi woh bola toh darane wali baat he bola.

"Beta choot faad ke toh fer bhi kaam chala lungi, gaand ki durgati kar di toh chalne se bhi gai. aahhh.. aahhh.. marr gai re.", Teesir baar choot jhadne lagi thi aur ab 2 bajne wale the. Arjun ne dono bhari taange kandhe par rakhte hue ye aakhiri dhakke tufaan se lagane chalu kar diye. Poore kamre me chootras ki teekhi mehak bhar gai thi aur patt-patt ka shor jaise baaki sab awaaj dabaye tha. Lund ke foolte he Bimla ki cheekhe tej ho gai lekin Arjun jab tak nahi ruka jitne uska veerya lund ki taraf na badhne laga.

"aahh.. Aunty.. gajab ho aap.. aaah..", Hath me pakde woh apna safed paani us badi jameen par girane laga jaha dono parwat ab laal ho chuke the. Bimla ka sharir thanda ho gaya tha aur jagah jagah woh safed garam pani usko alag he sukoon se bhar raha tha.

"2 baj gaye aunty. Ghar chalta hu, khana wahi khaunga. Parso milta hu aapse 2 baje.", Arjun ne aisa pehle kisi ke bhi sath na kia tha lekin iski wajah jarur rahi hogi kuch. Bimla bas taange failaye padi hui haanf rahi thi aur Arjun ko bahar jaate dekh. Jald he woh bahar wala darwaja dhaalne ke baad udhar se nikal lia tha. Kuch gade murde usko yaha bhi mile the Muskaan ke baad.

Update 93
Shatranz Ke khiladi (1)


Arjun ghar aaya toh woh dekh chuka tha ke unki ek gaadi Col sahab ke ghar ke bahar khadi hai. Kuch der apne dada-daadi ke sath baithne ke baad woh Komal didi bulane par waha se uth gaya.

"Ji didi."

"Chal bhai khaana kha le.", Komal didi ke seedha aise kehte he woh unhe hairat se dekhne laga.

"Is waqt tu ghar hai matlab apne dost ke pas tu khaa ke nahi aaya aur maine bhi abhi tak lunch nahi kia hai toh sath me he khaate hai.", Arjun apni pyaari badi didi ke sath he unke kamre me chal dia. Dono ka khaan wahi apne bister par lagati woh idhar udhar ki baatein bhi kar rahi thi. Jaise Chacha-Papa ki packing, Krishna chachi ka aaj din me hansna-bolna aur upar sabka film dekhna.

"Aap kabhi bahar nahi jana chahti kya didi? Ritu didi toh keh rahi thi ki woh MS bahar se he karengi aur Alka didi bhi aage ki padhai ka waisa he plan banaye hue hai.",Arjun ne apne hath se niwala didi ko khilaya aur unke pyaare chehre ko dekhne laga. Unhone bhi apne bhai ko waise he khilaya aur fir batane lagi.

"Dekh padhne ke baad na mere se kisi ne poocha ke aage padhna hai ya nahi aur na maine abhi tak bataya hai. Graduation toh meri khatam he ho gai ab aur result June me aayega. Agar is beech kisi ne poocha toh main shayad keh du ki main Masters karna chahti hu lekin chance 1% hai.", Komal didi ki baat kuch samajh aai kuch nahi.

"1%? Woh kyo didi? Papa toh kabhi bhi padhne se rokte nahi ulta woh toh khush honge aur maa bhi."

"Bhai ab jald he Sanjiv bhaiya ke sath Madhuri didi ki bhi shaadi ho jayegi. Aur yaha par fainsle ghar me rehne wale lete hai papa nahi. Dada ji bhale he ek baar ke liye ijajat de bhi de MBA ke liye lekin daadi nahi dengi. Main toh iske liye bahar bhi nahi jana chahti, yahi university se MBA kar lungi lekin fir unka wahi pravachan ke akeli ladki ko university bhejna thik nahi, shaadi ki umar hone lagi hai, saal ya 2 saal me kya pata kar bhi de. Aur rahi baat desh se bahar jaane ki toh woh main khud nahi chahti. Kabhi tu ghumane le gaya toh jaha le chalega main sath chal dungi.", Komal didi ne saari baat khatam karte waqt jaise Arjun ko khush karna chaha is baat ko bolkar.

"Padhogi toh aap jarur aur fir dekhta hu daadi mana kaise karti hai. Woh khudse kahengi ki Komal beta tu admission le le. Madhuri didi 23-24 ki hongi aur aap unse 2 saal choti. Aur unki shaadi ki wajah kuch aur hai sath he woh raji bhi hai. Aap karo ye 2 hafte araam fir main he leke chalunga aapko form jama karwane.", Arjun ka dridh nishchaye dekh Komal didi ko apne bhai par pyaar ke sath he thodi chinta hone lagi.

"Arre tu fikar mat kar. MBA ke baad bhi shaadi he karni hai toh fayeda toh kuch hone wala nahi. Chal khana khatam kar fir tu thoda araam kar lena aur main maa ke sath baaki kaam karwati hu.", Arjun ab khamoshi he raha aur khana khatam karte hue upar chal dia jaha baaki behne thi. Abhi bhi sab television se chipki thi lekin Alka-Ritu didi usko na dikhai di. Lekin Arjun ko abhi unse kaam nahi tha.

"Priyanka didi, ek baar mere kamre me aana.", Arjun unke saamne se apne kamre me chala gaya toh uski baat sunn kar sabhi ek dusre ko dekhne lagi. Tara hamesha ki tarah Aarti ke sath baithi thi aur Madhuri didi sofe par Priyanka didi ke sath.

"Ja, lagta hai jaruri kaam hai.", Madhuri didi ke chehre par bhi koi vishesh bhaav na aaye the. Priyanka didi ke andar aate he Arjun ne darwaja dhaal dia. Kuch der tak dono he baatein karte rahe aur 15 minute baad eksath he niche chal diye. Arjun khane ki mej par baith gaya aur didi ko andar jaate dekhne laga. Andar chacha, papa, bua aur dada-daadi the aur Arjun ko pehle se ye pata tha.

"Papa, aap kabtak wapis aane wale hai?", Priyanka bitiya apne papa ki waisi he ladli thi jaise Ritu Shankar ji ki.

"Bol beti kya baat hai? Kuch lana hai waha se?"

"Nahi papa, aapko aur maa ko waha time lagega aur idhar mera MBA ka dakhila bhi niklane wala hai. Maa ke sath toh aap wapis yahi aane wale hai fir main idhar he admission le lu?", Priyanka ki baat par daadi ke kaan khade ho gaye lekin woh unki taraf peeth kiye khadi apne papa se baat kar rahi thi.

"Haan toh kya badi baat hai. Yaha toh university bhi waha se atchi hai aur fir abhi main tere dada ji se yahi baat kar raha tha ke peeche wale makaan ko tayaar karwana hai ab. Sab yahi rehne wale hai lekin woh makaan bhi sambhalna hai toh 4-6 mahine me udhar he shift kar lenge Punjab se samaan mangwa kar. Tum mangwa lo form, Arjun la dega ya tum sath chali jana.", Narinder ji jaisi kisi aur se sarokar he nahi rakhte the apni beti ke fainsle ke saamne.

"Naukari bhi karni hai beta?", Kaushalya ji ke aisa kehte he Rameshwar ji thoda peeche he khisak gaye the. Unhe ummeed thi ki ab Panipat ka yudh hone he wala hai.

"Maa, Priyanka Civil Service ki tayaari bhi kar rahi hai mere kehne par aur iska khud ka sapna hai ki MBA karke kuch samay naukri aur fir apna business karne ki. Ab sapne maarna toh maa-baap ko atcha nahi lagega. Balki main toh chahta hu ki ye Civil Service na he clear kare aur jaisa isne soch rakha hai waisa kare jis se zindagi ke sabhi fainsle lene layak bane naa ki ghar me pati ki chaya me rehne wali koi padhi likhi badnaseeb."

"Teri baat se main bhi sehmat hu bhai. Maine bhi Tara ko aaj keh dia ke training ke baad agar woh aage padhna chahti hai toh degree kar le aur designer kapdo business ya factory lagani hai toh uske liye bhi main tayaar hu. Tu kar Priyanka MBA, waise bhi teri padhai sabke kaam he aane wali hai.", Madhu bua ne toh ab Kaushalya ji he daba dia tha beech me apna majboot paksh rakhte hue.

"Tu toh khud keh rahi thi ki Tara ki shaadi is saal karne ke liye. Main mana kar rahi thi tab teri zidd thi aur ab khud he badal gai.", Kaushalya ji ne jaise baat palti thi matlab ab woh alag tarah se gherne ke mood me thi.

"Arjun ne kaha tha ke factory chalane wala ladke ka baap hai, woh khud toh nahi. Kabiliyat Tara me hai toh usko mauka milna chahiye na ki saja aise ghar me shaadi karwa ke. Aur mere bete ne jo kaha woh kisi bhi haal me galat nahi. Papa ne bhi toh mujhe apne samay ke hisaab se college bheja jab ladkiya 10 paar karte he byaah di jaati thi. Pehle mujhse galti hui ki main sirf waise soch rahi thi jaise mahol me jee rahi thi. Ab Tara khud ladka pasand karke laaye toh bhi thik aur mujhse kahigi toh bhi. Lekin Priyanka tu admission le aur fir agle saal Tara bhi 2 saal ke liye apni Fashion me masters degree ke liye France jayegi.", Priyanka bister ke kinare batih gai thi lekin peeth abhi bhi daadi ki taraf.

"Kaushalya devi ji ab toh main bhi ittefaq rakhta hu inki baato se. Bache bade ho rahe hai aur baat padhne, zindagi sanvarne ki kar rahe hai. Ye 1970 toh nahi hai jaha itni bandish lagani chahiye. Jameen bhi hai in sabke pas toh aapas me kaam karenge toh sath he rahenge,10-20 logo ko rojgar milega aur atcha hai na tum bhi thoda bahot inke pas jaane lagogi toh main bhi araam karunga.", Rameshwar ji ki baat sunnkar thoda narajgi se unke paanv par hath marti hui woh bolne lagi.

"Kal he lagegi inki factory aur parso toh degree bhi ho jayegi jaise. Ab sabne keh di apni baat toh meri bhi sunn lo. Akel toh main Priyanka ko bhejne na wali, Komal sath jayegi iske. Uska bhi final ka natija sath he aayega. Aur Priyanka tu Arjun ya Sanjiv ko apne sath le ja ek 2 din me apne college, migration ka parcha diye bina toh tera aur Aarti ka yaha dakhila hone ni wala.", Apni daadi ki baat sunte he pyaar se woh unke gale lag gai. Shankar ji bhi apni maa ko dekh rahe the jo kitni bhi sakht kyo na thi lekin bhedbhav bilkul nahi karti ti.

"Aur jara us salaah dene wale ko bhej yaha mere pas. Madhu ke sath sath tera vakil bhi wahi hai jitna main usko jaanti hu. Daadi ko jyada he jaanta hai na woh.", Arjun darwaje par khada muskura raha th aur unki baat sunte he aa ke unse lipat gaya.

"Mujhe pata tha ke daadi kaise maanegi. Aap ho he itni pyaari ki mujhe pata hai aapko kaise raaji karna hai. Mujhe bhi aapki baat sahi lagti hai ke akele jaane se atcha saath me koi rahe.", Arjun unke gaal choom kar fir Priyanka didi ko pare hatata apni daadi ki goad me sar rakhe leit gaya.

"Teri daadi koi kal paida nahi hui beta. Aur agar ye sab tu chahta hai toh iska saaf matlab hai ke jimmedari bhi tu sambhalega. Ab ghar ka deputy toh fir tujhe he bana rakha hai SP sahab ne. Komal ko bhi bata dio ke kitabe kharid legi itne khali samay me. Pehle he tayaari karke rakhne ki aadat tujhe bhi toh Komal aur Ritu se mili hai. Shankar woh hospital wala jameen ka tukda de dio bhai apni laadli behan ko, baad me tum ladd pade toh meri jaan khayegi. Jaisa inka mann kare karen do, lagao factory ya jo bhi karna hai."

"Woh pehle se he mere naam hai maa. Bhai ne uske badle kheti wali jameen Arjun ke naam chadhwa di thi, papa ko bhi pata hai. Aur ab tum log bhaago yaha se, yaha maa-baap ke sath abhi unki aulaade baithi hai tumhare baap-bua nahi.", Madhu bua ne Arjun ko hatate hue khud jagah hathiya li aur woh dono bhi muskurate hue Komal ke kamre me chal diye.

"Aap Arjun ko sabse jyada samajthi hai maa. Itna toh koi bhi ni jaanta jaise abhi he dekh lo.", Narinder ji sab dekh samajh rahe the aur unko hairat thi ki Arjun is sabke peeche hai woh unki maa janti thi.

"Ye samajhte hai usko aur main sirf pyaar karti hu. Tere papa jab peeche hate the na toh matlab saaf hai ke mere se ulajhne ke liye unka laadla he hoga is sabke peeche. Aur Komal ko kitab padhte maine bhi dekha tha. Priyanka ko yaha laya kyonki woh tujhe bhi atche se jaanta hai, inki badolat. Madhu yaha baithi hai toh uski baat kaatne wali bhi kamjor. Matlab saaf hai ke woh pehle poori jaankari leta hai, fir sab taraf se gherta hai aur aakhir me mauka nahi deta. Kaam hone ke baad he najar aayega.", Rameshwar ji ne apni biwi ko itna jyada samjhate dekh kar alag tarah se dekha aur woh hansti hui fir apni beti ke sar ki maalish karne lagi. Narinder ko bahut kuch samjhane ke baad.

"Toh papa ne usko Arjun bana he dia poora. Atchi management aur uchit samay par uchit daav. Maan na padega aapko papa ke woh itni kam umar me he kahi jyada samajhdar hai.", Narinder ji ke muskurate chehre ke peeche jo bechaini thi woh Rameshwar ji bhi samajh chuke the. Aur waisa he unhe apne dusre bete ke chehre par dikhai de raha tha, beshak woh chup tha.

"Beta sabke liye woh 7-8 saal ki umar me pareshani jaisa tha ya ek ziddi gussel ladka. Lekin teri maa aur main jab kabhi shatranj khelte the toh Arjun hamesha se mere piche pada rehta tha us Vajir ko zinda karne ke liye jisko tumhari maa oont (Camel) aur hathi se gher kar maar deti thi. Usne shrimatiji ki bisaat bhi samjhi aur apne dada ko sab haarte hue bhi dekha lekin 2 ghode aur vajir ke sath woh baaji khatam kar deta hai, mehnat se vajir zinda karne ke baad. Yakeen na ho toh pooch lo apni maa se.", Rameshwar ji apne kapde thik karte hue uth gaye. Unhe bhi baithak ka darwaja khulne ki awaaj se pata chal gaya tha ke unke param mitra aa gaye honge. Bache raat ko Delhi jo nikalne wale the. Madhu bua bhi unke jaate he andar wale kamro ki aur chal di.

"Maa, papa ka wahi matlab tha jo main soch raha hu?", Shankar ki is baat par woh bhi apne bete ko dekhne lagi.

"Woh bachpan me bhi apne dada ko pasand karta tha kyonki usko unke niyam aur aadarsh atche lagte the. Tere papa usko dimagi aur sharirik mehnat karwate hue kaabu kar chuke the lekin teri jidd ne fir usko bahar bhej dia. Lekin woh hamesha se waisa he hai, seekhne aur mehnat karne wala. Galti se ab aisa kuch mat karna ke woh hathi aur oont pehchan jaye. Ghar me ab tak woh thik hai aur inke hisab se he hai. Dono jyada jaan-ne ki koshish karna band karo aur usko uske haal par chodd do.", Kaushalya ji bhi un dono ko wahi chodd kar bahar ki taraf chal di.

"Yaar sachi baat hai maa ki. Arjun ko uske haal par chodd dena he behtar hai. Hum jitne marji honhaar ho lekin woh baap hai hamare aur unhe byaaj pyaara hai mool se toh apna rasta pakadne me he bhalai hai.", Narinder ki baat par Shankar ne kuch vichar karne ke baad Col sahab aur apne pita ji ki taraf rukh kar lia khade hote hue.

"Sahi hai. Waise bhi ab ja he rahe hai toh kya fayeda sochne se bhi."

Arjun aaj ghar he tha toh apni chachi ke sath thoda waqt bitate hue woh bhi unki madad karne laga sab jarurat ka samaan aur unki report, dawaaiya rakhwate hue. Sab kaam jaldi he khatam karke woh kuch der wahi apni maa ke bister par leit gaya aur jald he neend se aankhen band ho gai.

"Dekh tere munne ko kaise neend me bhi muskurata rehta hai.", Lalita ji ne ye baat kahi toh Rekha ji se thi lekin Arjun ke par baith Krishna ji gai.

"Didi, muskurana he toh sabse mushkil kaam hai duniya me. Mere laadle ne itni si umar jaise bahut kuch seekh lia hai. Bhagwan har buri najar se iska bachaav kare.", Aankh se kajal leti Krishna ji ne Arjun ke kaan ke peeche najar ka teeka laga dia.

"Krishna pyaar toh tere se ye bhi bahot karta hai. Itne saalo baad bhi tu iske liye waisi he hai jaise jab ye chota sa tha aur tere aage peeche ghoomta rehta tha sara din. Maa ji toh tujhe bhi daant padti thi iske chakkar me jab dhoop me he chatt par tum dono patang udane me lag jaate the.", Lalita ji ki ye baat sunn kar Krishna ji bhi purani baatein yaad karti muskura uthi.

"Didi yaad hai ye kya kehta tha agar main mana kar deti thi? Ae Krishna main phir tere sath nahi sounga, akele me darr lagega fir pata chalega. Aur aadhi raat ko khud he mere bister par aa jata tha, neend me chalta hua."

"Chalaak tha jab chota tha. Sabke samne chachi maa akele me Krishna. Sach kahu toh jab ye wapis aaya tha na pichle saal toh apni garmiyo ki chuttiyon me isne poocha tha ke Krishna chaachi aa rahi hai kya? Maa ji ne itna he kaha tha ke woh ab idhar kyo aayegi? Uske apne bache hai jo bade ho gaye hai toh unke sath he rahegi woh. Arjun ne us din ke baad kisi ke samne naam nahi lia tera lekin maine kaapi dekhi thi iski jaha aaj bhi pehle panne par waise he 'Krishna' likhta hai jaise sikhaya tha tune. "Rekha" aur uske niche 'Krishna'. Pyaar toh sabse he karta hai ye lekin shayad tujhme aur Rekha me ye farak nahi karta, shayad parwah jyada he karta ho kyonki Rekha ko isne wahi karte toh dekha hai.", Lalita ji bhi pariwar ka woh adrishya majboot stambh thi jo sabke baare me jaanti thi aur pyar karti thi.

"Aapke saamne he tha didi. Mera bas toh kabhi chala he nahi. Main alag nahi rehna chahti thi aur is se toh bilkul bhi nahi. Lekin ab jo marji ho jaye main wapis panjab na jaane wali mere bache ko chodd kar.", Krishna ji ne bhi paanv seedhe karte hue ek hath Arjun ke seene par rakha aur aankhe munde leit gai.

"Ab uthna mat shaam se pehle. Ye bhi itne nahi uthne wala jitne tu so rahi hai.", Lalita ji ki aisi baat sunkar woh bina chehra uthaye muskurai aur fir araam karne lagi, bharpoor sukoon se.
.
.
Menaka shaam ke 5 baje akeli thi ghar me. Manju ghar ka samaan lene pas wali market gai thi aur un dono ke siwa yaha rehta he kaun tha. Manju ko gaye 10 minute hue the aur kamre me rakha phone bajte he woh andar chali aai.

"Hello.", Phone kaan pe lagaye fir jo baatein shuru hui toh agle 15 minute tak line chalu rahi. Lekin Menaka ne aakhir me tang aate hue thodi unchi awaaj me kaha.

"Aap maa ho meri isliye apni zindagi kharaab karti rahi hu. Aainda se agar is baare me koi bhi baat ki toh fir mujhse bura koi na hoga. Uske sath aapka koi lena dena nahi hai toh galti se bhi usko shamil mat karna. Pehle he badi mushkil se narak khatam kia hai aur aap fir mujhe wahi sab karne ke liye uksa rahi hai.?", Menaka apni baat kehne ke baad dusri taraf se aane wali is alag awaaj ko sunn ne lagi.

"Bhaiya aap jaise ho mujhe atche se pata hai. Chup rehti hu iska matlab ye nahi ke mujhe kuch nahi pata. Ehsaan aapne nahi kia mujh par koi, unhone hamare pariwar par kia jisko aap dono milkar kaise utaar rahe ho atche se dikhta hai. Bindu meri bhabhi nahi thi kabhi bhi lekin badi maa aaj bhi mere liye badi maa hai. Maa ki kartoot jara der se pata chali aur kaise bete ho jo apni maa ke sath he .. chiii.. Agli baar yaha phone karne se pehle 100 baar sochna aur fir bhi number mat mila dena." Menaka ki baat jaise beech me se he kaat te hue saamne se kuch aur bhi kaha gaya tha. Menaka ke bhai ne jaane kya kaha tha ke woh apna aapa khoti hui bolne lagi.

"Maa-chaudh hai aur utna he bana rahio. Arjun ka naam teri jubaan par bhi aaya toh Menaka tera aujaar kaat kar kutto ko khila degi. Behanchod bann-ne ke liye jigra hai toh karke dekh ye gustakhi. Main bhi us baap ki beti hu jis se tu janma lekin maine teri rakhail ka karz bahut jyada he adaa kia hai. Beech me agar Rishabh bhi aaya toh woh bhi nahi bachega. Rakh phone saale dalle neech.", Gusse se kaampti woh phone ke pas baithi lambi saansein le rahi thi aur thodi he der baad khud ko thik karne ke liye uth kar bathroom me chal di.
.
.
Shaam ko jaldi khana bana tha kyonki Shankar, Narinder aur Krishna ji ne 9 baje nikalna tha Delhi ke liye. 4 Baje ki unki udaan thi toh samay rehte jana he thik tha. Lekin Krishna ko aas-pas na dekh kar Narinder khud he apni bhabhi ke kamre me chala aaya jidhar Arjun ki baju par sar rakhe Krishna ji itminaan se so rahi thi. Unka ek hath apne ladle ke gaal par tha neend me bhi.

"Abhi waqt hai jaane me, inhe sone do. Aur Arjun jaag gaya toh dono bhavuk ho jayenge.", Rekha ji apne devar ka hath pakad kar wapis bahar laati hui kehne lagi.

"Bhabhi Krishna thik ho jaye toh prayschit me apni baaki zindagi laga dunga main. Shankar ke sath he mere se bhi ek galti ho gai ki in maa-beto ko judaa kar dia itne saal. Sach kahu toh waha ek din bhi bina dawa ke ye so na saki thi, bimari me. Yaha bas uske sath hone par he woh uthne lagi hai, sabse baatein karne bhi lagi hai aur dekho jara kaise dono bekhabar se soye hue hai pichle 3 ghante se.", Narinder ki aankh me halka paani aa gaya tha, jo bahot badi baat thi. Rekha ji ne bhi apne pyaare devar ko gale laga lia.

"Himmat rakho Narinder aur ab koshish karna ke waha atche se dhyaan rakho Krishna ka aur ilaaj poora sahi se ho. Fir Arjun apne aap he Krishna ki dekhbhal kar lega yaha. Ye bata rahe the ki ilaaj jyada behtar tabhi ho payega jab woh khush rahegi aur samay se apni poori khuraak legi. Chalo tum khana kha lo fir milne me bhi time lagega.", Rekha ji ne pyaar se Narinder ke sar par hath fera aur dur khade Shankar ji bhi ye drishya dekh rahe the. Kitni badi keemat chukani padd rahi thi ek vaade ke peeche.

Agle aadhe ghante me Sanjiv ke sath he Narinder-Shankar ji ne bhi khana kha lia tha. Ritu didi apne papa ko apni list bata rahi thi jo samaan unko chahiye tha waha se aur aise he Alka ka haal tha jo chote chacha ko samaan ki parchi thamaye unke pas baithi thi. Madhu bua aur Kaushalya ji bhi bachiyon ki baatein sunti khush ho rahi thi. Fir Rameshwar ji ke udhar aate he bas bade he waha baithe rahe.

"Haan toh sab samaan gaadi me rakhwa lia na? Passport, kagaj-patra aur ticket alag se surakshit rakhna. Waha kuch pehchan ke log hai meri toh gharelu khana aur mahol mil jayega. Bas ghadi mila lena dono desho ke hisab se jab bhi phone karna ho.", Rameshwar ji ki baat par Narinder ji ne sar hila dia.

"Tu sust kyo ho gaya hai? Kya pareshani hai beta?", Rameshwar ji apni jagah se uthkar apne bete ke saamne aa khade hue. Kitne saalo baad aaj unhone apne bete ka chehra apni chati se lagya tha. Bache kitne bhi bade kyo na ho jaye maa-baap unki dhadkan bhi pehchaan lete hai. Narinder ki aankhon me thodi der pehle ruk chuka paani fir se behne laga tha. Shankar ye na dekh saka jo chupchap uthkar galiyare se bahar nikal gaya.

"Papa, zindagi me pehli baar aaj mujhe apna dosh pata chala hai. Dukh Krishna ka utna nahi hai jitna ye soch soch kar ho raha hai ke aapko jab hamari jarurat hai aur thi bhi, hum kabhi aapke pas na reh sake."

"Mere bache kabhi bhi apne fainsle ka afsos mat karna. Zindagi me bahut kuch dekhna padta hai aur har fainsle ke peeche jo wajah hoti hai woh maayne rakhti hai. Baap toh main bhi atcha na bann saka jo baap ke kartavya ki jagah kaam ke prati jhuka raha. Lekin tumhari maa ne woh sambhala kyonki fainsle ke peeche wajah thi. Tumne bhi marji se toh nahi chaha tha aisa aur agar main ek baap ki tarah kahu toh Shankar aur Tum, dono he mera ghamand ho. Keh nahi pata kyonki pariwar me nahi raha na main us waqt. Aaj reh raha hu toh yakeen karo maine ab parvarish ki, beshak woh mera pauta ya pauti hai lekin maine sudhaar karne ki koshish ki. Tumne zindagi me jo kia woh pariwar ke liye he kia, hamare liye kia toh shikayat nahi hai mujhe koi. Dukh bhi hota hai ke mere bache hamari khushiyon ki wajah se apni zindagi dur rehte hue bita rahe hai. Chal khada ho beta aur teri maa se mil le, main Shankar se bhi kuch baat kar lu.", Rameshwar ji ki majboot baahe Narinder ko apne baap ka pyaar andar tak mehsoos kara gai thi.

"Chal dekh kaisa mahol bana dia hai tune. Pata he na tha ke meri 2 chhoriyan hai.", Kaushalya ji ke aisa kehte he Narinder apni maa se bhi gale lag gaya.

"Tu mera raja beta hai aur hamesha rahega. Teri maa ka sar toh unke samne bhi tumne na jhukne dia jinke samne duniya he jhukti thi. Aise bete sabko nahi milte. Aur chal teri lugai ko bhi utha le, yahi kehta hai na tu Krishna ke liye.", Ab Narinder kuch shant tha aur behtar bhi.

"Maa, woh udhar Arjun ke sath so rahi hai. Darr ki wajah se nahi uthaya kahi Arjun bhi na utth jaye."

"Haq hai un dono ka aur nahi milega toh fir Krishna ko jyada dukh hoga. Main uthati ho dono ko.", Unki baat sunn kar Narinder bhi bahar apne bhai aur pita ki taraf chal dia.

"Oh Kapoot, uth ja aur chodd teri chachi ko. Isne jana bhi hai.", Ab yaha Arjun apni chachi ko kass ke baho me liye tha. Daadi ki awaaj se angdaai let woh uthne laga toh pehle apni chachi ko pyaar se uthaya.

"Yaha araam karne nahi milta chachi. Aap tayaar ho jao lagta hai jaane ka samay ho gaya. Main sara samaan dekh leta hu ke sahi se rakha hai ya nahi.", Krishna ji apni saas ko dekh halki sharmati si uthne lagi.

"Kar lia laad toh ab khana kha le beta. Kapde safar me yahi thik hai.", Kaushalya ji unhe apne sath liye he bahar aa gai thi aur Arjun pehle he kursi ke pass woh chota stool rakh ke bahar ja chuka tha. Thodi he der me jaane wale sabhi log tayaar the aur Arjun apne kamre me kuch lene ka bol kar bhaag gaya tha. Col sahab, Renuka bua, Preeti bhi aaye the unse milne ke liye aur Krishna ji ne pyaar se Preeti ka maath choomne ke baad gale lagaya tha. Gaadi me baithne ke baad Krishna ji ne Sanjiv ko abhi rukne ko kaha aur jaise he Arjun ko ek kitab jaisa kuche le kar apne pas aate dekha toh muskurane lagi.

"Tujhe yaad tha ke ye mujhe deni hai.? Waise hai kya ye?"

"Aap he dekh lena. Aur sabse pehle waha jaate he phone karna. Bye chacha, bye papa.", Arjun unhe bye karne ke baad khidki ke pas baithi apni chachi ka gaal choomne ke baad hath pakadte hue itna he kaha, "Aap waha pareshan mat hona Chachi maa, main hamesha aapke pas rahunga.", Aur woh bhi apne laadle ke maathe ko choomti haami bharne lagi. Gaadi ghar se bahar nikalte he Narinder ji ne apni biwi ke hath se woh jild chadhi kitab lete hue pehla page dekhte he woh wapis unhe pakda di. Jisko woh bhi dekh rahi thi. "Krishna-Arjun, Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta purn sanvaad"

"Ye tum usko padhke sunati thi sone se pehle. Aaj bhi kitni saaf rakhi hai jaise nayi ho.", Narinder ji ki baat par Krishna ji bhi muskura di.

"Usko hamesha se ye photo pasand thi aur kehta tha ke dekho aapki aankhen aisi he hai. Sambhal sakta hai isliye toh ye uske pas chhodi thi. Shayad woh is se he jeena seekh gaya aur ab mujhe bhi dene ka maksad yahi hai.", Andhere me gaadi ab sahi raftaar par thi. Aage Shankar ji Sanjiv ki bagal me baithe the jo gaadi araam se chala raha tha.

Arjun kuch waqt apne dada ji ke sath bitane ke baad Rupali didi ko wahi dada-daadi se baatein karne ke liye chodd kar andar wale aangan ki taraf chal dia. Yaha rasoi me hamesha ki tarah Komal didi kaam kar rahi thi aur Tara bhi unke sath khadi geele bartan kapde se saaf kar rahi thi.

"Aaru, tu kab aaya idhar?", Komal didi ne jaise he kaha toh Tara ne bhi palat kar peeche dekha jaha Arjun araam se peedhi par baitha paani pee raha tha.

"Abhi toh aaya hu jab aap dono he padhai ki baatein kar rahi thi. Atchi baat hai na ke ab aap dono ko he manchaha samay mil gaya hai aur mujhe aap dono se jyada khushi hai is baat ki.", Arjun ne baat khatam he ki thi ki Tara uske seene se lipat gai, neeche baithte hue. Komal didi waise he kaam karti hui muskura rahi thi.

"Sach me Arjun tum bahot atche ho. Main nahi jaanti ke kaise tumne ye sab kia lekin mujhe apni zindagi wapis de kar sabit kar dia ke tum kuch bhi kar sakte ho. Thank you so much bhai.", Tara ne sneh se uska gaal chooma toh didi bhi Tara ke sar par hath ferti usko yaad dilane lagi ki woh uske upar he giri hui hai.

"Mera pyara bhai hai ye toh mujhe poora haq hai.", Tara halki sharam se muskurati hui alag ho kar kehne lagi.

"Haan toh mana kab kia maine lekin jo dur se dekhega toh tumhe dekh kar behan-bhai toh nahi samajhne wala. Chal ab tu upar jaa aur unke liye paani ki bottle bhi leti jana.", Komal didi ke aisa kehte he Tara ne ek baar Arjun ko bhi dekha jo unki khushi me khud bhi khush tha. Fir bottle fridge se nikal kar Tara upar apne naye kamre ki aur chali gai.

"Aapse kuch baat karni hai didi.", Arjun ne jaise ye kaha Komal didi ne bhi apne hath kapde se saaf kiye aur Arjun ko chatt par 5 minute intjaar karne ko kaha. Woh aage koi sawaal kiye bina bahar mukhya darwaje ka tala lagane ke baad upar chatt ko jaane wali seedhiyon par badh gaya. Mausam saaf tha aur is waqt hawa me na jyada thandak thi na umas. Mahol shaant aur saaf he tha. Arjun diwar par baitha apne he khaylo me dooba aasman nihaar raha tha. Komal didi kab upar chali aai aur gadda bicha kar baith gai usko jaise ehsaas bhi na hua.

"Haan toh ab bata teri pareshani ki wajah.", Arjun unki awaaj sunn kar apni jagh se utha aur neeche gadde par aa baitha.

"Woh jo badi daadi aai thi unko aap pehle se jaanti hai na? Aur jo didi thi unke sath woh kaun thi.?"

"Haan main thoda bahut jaanti hu unko bhai. Hamare pariwar ke sath unka purana sambandh hai shayad jab dadaji police me afsar nahi bane the tabse. Aur jaan-pehchaan bhi is wajah se he hai ke dadaji unke ganv me he kaafi samay tak rahe the. 30 saal purani pehchaan hai toh sambandh bhi atche hai. Woh ladki jaise hamari badi behan he hai aur tumne unhe jab dekha hoga toh shayad 7 saal ke rahe hoge."

"Didi, woh badi daadi ki ek purani tasvir maine Menaka ke ghar dekhi thi aur unke sath 2 mahilaye aur thi jo us waqt jawaan hongi. Ek shayad Menaka ki maa aur dusri mahila, jo unse bhi kam umar ki thi ki shakal thik waisi thi jaisi ek ladki hamare stadium me basketball khelne aati hai. Menaka ke pariwar me toh sirf unke bade bhaiya-bhabhi, maa aur ye ladka jis se Manju ki shaadi hui hai wahi log hai."

"Pehle tu ye bata ke ye jaan-ne ke baad tune kitna dimaag lagaya hai?", Komal didi he toh apne bhai ko sabse jyada jaanti thi.

"Aaj jab gaushala ke liye nikle the toh ye vyakti hamare sector ke pas jaise mujh par najar rakh raha tha. Lekin woh peeche nahi aaya aur jab hum wapis aaye toh main Renuka bua ko market leke gaya tha jaha wahi vyakti mujhe dikhai dia lekin is baar uski najar jaise papa aur jo bhi unke sath market the un par thi. Bua ko bahana karke main karke maine savdhani se woh aadmi pakad lia tha, woh gol park wale transformer ke kamre me.", Komal didi kisi aashanka se uski baatein dhyaan se sunn rhai thi.

"Fir?"

"Usne darr ki wajah se mujhe jo bataya woh ye tha ki Muskaan ne usko ek motti rakam di thi meri aur pariwar ke sadasyo ki jaankari lekar aane ke badle. Muskaan wahi ladki hai jiski shakal us aurat se thik waise he milti hai jaise aapki hamari maa se."

"Tune uske sath kya kia? Kahi.."

"Nahi didi woh bechara toh mere hath me bijli ki taar dekh kar he darr gaya tha. Waise bhi jitna mujhe jaan-na tha usne bata dia tha. Ghar ke kuch logo ki thodi bahot detail thi uske pas, ek reel aur dusri uske camera me thi. Camera wali chodd kar maine sabkuch le lia tha. Uski tasvir ke sath."

"Woh kyo chodd di fir bhai?"

"Uski alag wajah hai didi. Waise aisa camera pehle baar dekha tha maine. Kagaj bhi dalta tha aur reel bhi sath he thodi moti geometry jitna.", Arjun ko jaise woh sachmuch pasand aaya tha.

"Tujhe uske haath me saboot nahi chhodne chahiye the bhai."

"Papa ko uske baare me pata tha didi. Aur woh sirf apna kaam kar raha tha, dushman thodi he tha.", Arjun ne kandhe jhatakte hue aise kaha jaise usko parwaah nahi thi.

"Tu ghar aane ke baad fir wapis gaya tha. Aur kya pata laga us jasoos ke baare me.?"

"Sach kahu didi toh main khud Muskaan par najar rakhwa raha tha jabse main naani ke ghar se aane ke baad stadium ja raha hu. Woh stadium ke hostel me rehti hai, shayad dikhane ke liye. University me foreign students hostel ka card hai uske pas."

"Ye sab kaise pata chala tujhe?"

"Manju bhi uski saheli ho kar itna na jaan pai lekin Somya didi (Tejpal Sharma ki badi beti) uske sath he padhti hai aur woh bhi Alka didi ki tarah he hai, samajh lo. Aaj ke haadse ke baad mujhe yahi behtar laga ke khud he saamne se baat ki jaye. Aise toh pata nahi kitne log bematlab he shamil ho jayenge."

"Tujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha Arjun, kam se kam tu ye baat mujhse karta. Aur ye Muskaan kaun hai jiske baare me mujhe pata nahi?"

"NRI hai didi aur woh mere sath woh sab karna chahti hai jo main pyaar ya ehsaas ke bina kisi ke sath nahi karta. Lekin atcha hua ke maine baat khud he kar li uske sath. Aur baaki sab woh apne ghar ke dabaav me kar rahi thi aur asliyat khud usko bhi nahi pata lekin kal shaam usne mujhe khud bulaya hai. Uski badi behan se milwane ke liye, jisko jyada behtar pata hai aur aaj woh shehar me thi bhi nahi.", Komal didi dhyaan se dekh rahi thi apne is masoom bhai ko jo kahi jyada he gambhir tha is samay.

"Manju ki saheli hai woh, shakal us aurat se milti hai jisko tumne Menaka ke ghar tasvir me dekha tha aur ab Manju us pariwar me he shaadi karke aa gai hai. Is bare me vichar nahi kia? Aur tum itne yakeen se kaise keh sakte ho ke woh aage kuch aisa nahi karegi?"

"Vichar toh main tabhi kar chuka tha jab tasvir dekhi thi aur Muskaan ki harkate pehchaan li thi. Lekin kahi na kahi jaise Menaka aur Saroj mausi ko is baare me kuch bhi nahi pata aur shayad kuch aise log hai jinhe sab pata hai aur hum unse sawaal nahi kar sakte. Muskaan jo chahti hai main usko woh dene ko tayaar hu aur sabhi saboot jo uske khilaf hai woh mere pas surakshit hai, uske kabulname ke sath."

"Aur Somya ka kya? Woh bewajah he ye sab kar rahi thi? Aur uske baare me agar Muskaan ko pata chal gaya ho ya baad me pata chale toh woh bhi mushkil me nahi padd jayegi?", Komal didi jaise har pehlu ko dhyaan se samajh rahi thi.

"Maine kaha na aapse ke woh seedhe se is sabme shamil nahi hai aur Alka didi ki tarah hone ka matlab yahi hai ke woh bahot shatir hai shaant dikhne ke sath he. Papa unke bhi policewale hai. Aur mera sath dene ki wahi wajah hai jo aap sabki hai.", Arjun dono hath kamar ke peeche se gadde par rakhta hua araam se paanv pasare baith tha.

"Aajkal tum jyada he uddne lage ho, yaha tak ki aadhi baat toh mujhe bhi pata nahi chalne dete.", Komal didi apne bhai ki goad me sar rakh kar leit gai thi.

"Aap meri badi behan ho toh iska matlab yahi hua na ke aap aadhe ka aadha bhi nahi batati, jiske peeche aapka yahi maksad hai ke aap mujhe pyaar karti hai aur parwah karti hai. Aur main bhi apni pyaari didi se sawaal nahi karna chahta kabhi. Aap khaas ho jo mujhe he bina bataye behtar banane me lagi rehti ho.", Arjun ne unka woh naam ke swaroop he komal gaal sehlate hue kaha aur didi bhi uski taraf chehra karti muskurane lagi.

"Waise tu papa ki bajaye dadaji jaisa jyada hai. Mujhe toh laga tha ke tune us aadmi ko nuksaan pahuchaya hoga pakadne ke baad."

"Aapka Arjun itne chote-mote pyaade nahi maarta kyonki woh kisi aur ke liye ye sab karte hai, apna pariwar bachane ya paalne ke liye. Waise bhi jiwan lena bujhdili hai didi. Aapko jab darr lagta hai toh aap kisi ki jaan lete ho, fir darr aur badhta hai aur fir jyada satark rehna padta hai kyonki agli baar kahi jyada bada humla hone ki aashanka rehti hai. Ek kamjor pyaade ko apni taraf aane do aur uske peeche khade Vajir ko maar kar Raja se najar milana kahi jyada behtar hai."

"Aur Raja jo maut dega woh?"

"Didi ek Ghoda apne vajir ke upar aur ek us raja ke peeche pehle he rakhna padta hai. Waise ye batao ke aajkal ye baaki log itna kamre me kyo rehne lage hai?", Arjun ab dimaag ko dusri disha me karta sehaj hona chahta tha.

"Ritu-Alka toh saal shuru hone se pehle he kitabe khatam karne me lagi hai. Aur andar rehne ki wajah wahi ladkio wali hai. Itna sath rehne lagi hai ke dono ka time bhi ab sath aane laga hai. Rupali bhi jaise unke sath rehna pasand karti hai aur sara dhyaan bas padhai par hai uska bhi. Gaanv se shehar me aane par farak toh padta he hai toh Ritu bhi chahti hai ke uska aatmvishwas aur bolne ka lehja samay ke sath jaldi behtar ho jaye. Baaki Aarti ko waha sath wale kamre me sukoon rehta hai aur woh darjan bhar motte motte upanyaas padhti rehti hai ya fir shaam ko Manju-Tara aur Preeti ke sath apni masti me lag jaati hai. Waise toh kal raat se tera bhi system badal gaya hai."

"Haan. Aapki khas saheli mere upar aapne jo baandh di hai. Daadi toh bahana he hai iske peeche. Renuka ko mana ke kuch taklif hai lekin aapne ek teer se kahi saare nishane laga diye hai. Main bhi bandh gaya hu, wahi Madhu bua waha ho kar bhi kuch nahi kar sakti aur jaha tak mujhe lagta hai is beech baaki sab bhi mere dayre se bahar rahenge."

"Tumhari bhalai ke liye he. Lekin main tumhare pas he hu.", Komal didi ko muskurate dekh Arjun ne unke chehre ko thaam lia. Dono bade pyaar se ek dusre ke honth choomte hue jaise is khamosh raat ka he hissa bann gaye the. Is lambe chumban ke baad dono ke chehre juda hue toh Arjun bhi uth khada hua.

"Mujhe laga tha ke tum kuch der upar rehna chahte ho, mere sath."

"Main hamesha aisa he chahta hu lekin abhi dono ko kafi samay ho gaya hai idhar. Madhuri didi aapka intjaar kar rahi hongi aur dono bua mera.", Arjun ne halke se unka ubhaar sehlate hue gaal choom lia.

"Matlab tu bhi samajhne laga hai. Atchi baat hai aur logo se jyada sawaal jawaab karne ki jarurat nahi hai filhal."

"Nischint rahiye. Menaka bahar nahi hai aur unse sawaal karke main unhe dukh nahi pahuchaunga.", Arjun apni badi behan ko hanste hue neeche jaate dekhne laga. Col sahab ke ghar ke bahar wale aangan me tehalti Viky ko dekh kar Arjun bhi muskurata hua diwar par baith gaya.

'Billi ne kaabu kia hai isko. Sahi hai jitne dur rahegi bachi rahegi.' 15 minute ke baad Arjun bhi kal wali jagah aa kar leit gaya tha. Aaj Renuka ne uski dilwai hui nighty pehani hui thi aur waisa he kuch pehne Madhu bua bed par pasri hui kaan me walkman lagaye gaane sunn rahi thi.

"So jao araam se. Aaj aapki badi behan ko koi show nahi dikhane wale hum.", Arjun ne kaan me halke se kaha aur Renuka ko seene se laga kar woh leit gaya tha. Renuka bhi ab ja kar kahi sukoon mehsoos karti uske seene me dhansi thi. Jald he mahol shant ho gaya tha.
.
.
Muskaan aadhi raat me apne bister pe seene ke bal leti naam ke anusar he muskura rahi thi. Is band kamre me woh akeli thi lekin jaise kisi ko uska ye akelapan raas na aaya. 'Thakk-Thakk' ki halki awaaj darwaje par hote he woh khayalo se nikal kar darwaje ko dekhne lagi. Is samay jaise usko aisi koi ummeed na thi. Lekin fir se awaaj aane par jhatt khadi hoti woh darwaja khol kar dekhne lagi.

"So gai thi kya?"

"Nahi didi bas sone he lagi thi. Lekin aap itni raat me aur woh bhi bina bataye.?", Ye uski badi didi thi, us se bhi thodi lambi aur bhare sharir ki khoobsurat yuvti.

"Koi ladka bulaya hua hai kya andar jo aise pooch rahi hai."

"Nahi nahi. Andar aao aap. Aur aapko jab pata hai ke main aisa vaisa kuch nahi karti fir bhi aise sawaal.", Apni didi ke andar aate he darwaja band karti woh unhe bed par pasarte dekhne lagi. Takiya seene ke ek taraf lagati hui uski didi karwat ke bal leti Muskaan ko dekhne lagi aur khud ko sambhalti hui woh bhi study table se paani pakdane ke baad dusri taraf tek lagati si baith gai.

"Kya pata bhai duniya me kya kya hota rehta aajkal. Teri afwaahe itni hai toh socha kahi sach me he dil na kar gaya ho tumhara bhi kisi ke neeche aane ka.", Tanz karte hue woh woh muskura rahi thi.

"Shukar hai ke badnaam hu toh jyada naam kharaab hone se problem nahi hogi mujhe. Lekin log toh saadgi ka burqa pehne bhi 3-4 yaar banaye ghumte hai, kal woh badnaam na ho jaye kahi.", Muskaan ne kuch jyada he bada jawaab de dia tha woh bhi sard chehre se.

"Hahaha.. Karna padta hai meri jaan nahi toh log pyaar me kaise fansenge. Jab saadgi par mard marta hai na aur mehnat se hansil karke apna jismani pyaar dikhata hai, woh har wo baat bhi bata deta hai jo sharaab ke nashe me na keh paaye. Waise kaam hua jo dia tha?", Apni behan ki badchalni dekh kar Muskaan bhi feeki hansi hansti hui bed ke sirhane pade packet se kuch tasveer nikaal kar unki taraf karti bolne lagi.

"Jitna munasib tha utna hua aur aapka ek yaar shaheed ho gaya in 4 photo ke chakkar me."

"Photo kaise mili fir?", Uski behan ne halke gusse aur dabi awaaj me poocha. Photo par najar nahi daali thi abhi jiska matlab tha ke woh insan bhi khas tha aur yaha ek sawaal bhi.

"Photo dene ke baad bhi mara ja sakta hai. Yaha shaam ko bhi akhbar aata hai jisme uski laash baramad hone ki baat likhi thi. Photo wahi rakh gaya tha woh jaha bataya tha lekin fir woh un purani building me kya karne gaya hoga ye toh aapko jyada pata hoga mujhse.", Muskaan ka chehra thoda ajeeb aur shakk se bhara tha.

"Main aisa kyo karungi, woh bhi uske sath jis se main khud pyaar karti thi."

"Haan dikh raha hai aapka pyaar aur kitna dukhi ho aap woh bhi."

"Monti ko kitna pyaar karti hu ye main tumhe nahi batana chahti aur jab main khud ko qurbaan kar sakti hu toh Monti bhi is maksad me mera sath he de kar gaya hai.", Muskan ki didi sab kaabu kiye ab un tasveero ko dhyaan se dekhne lagi. Sabse upar Arjun ki he tasveer thi jisme peeche baithi yuvti ka chera dhaka tha. Agli tasveer me Shankar cigrettee ka kash lagate hue market ke is kone me khade the, Narinder ji aur Shankar dono ek sath khade tha jaha Narinder ki gardan dikh rahi thi. Aakhiri tasveer me fir se Arjun he tha aur uske sath khade Sanjiv ke chehre ke saamne peepal ki tehni aane se woh bhi sahi se nahi dikh raha tha.

"Bas yahi tasveere mili tumhe waha se? Monti toh keh raha tha ke usne darzan bhar photo kal he kheench liye the fir yaha sirf 4. Aur inme se 3 aaj ki hai.", Didi ab jaise Muskaan par he shakk kar rahi thi.

"Ye message tha inke sath. Aur ye khabar aap bhi dekh lo toh camera kaha hai pata chal jayega.", Muskaan ne wahi packet se ek kagah aur fir gadde ke neeche se aaj ka sandhya dainik akhbar unki taraf sarka dia.

'Baaki kal reel dhulvane ke baad. Camera print nahi de raha.' aur akhbaar me likha tha 'Kisi badi ghatna ka anjaam dene ke maksad se jasoosi kar raha sandigdh vyakti ***** chowk ke purane khandhar me mrit mila. Kabje me liye gaye camera se shehar ke khaas hisso aur vyaktio ki jaankari mili hai. Police prashashan ki taraf se poori report kal tak di jayegi.'

Ab unke chehre par hawaiyan udd rahi thi ye padhne ke baad.

"Shayad reel dhulvane he gaya hoga woh udhar. Sunday ko udhar wali he color lab hai jo khuli rehti hai. Waise kahi Monti ke pas koi diary ya number toh nahi tha aapka, purse waigarah me.?", Muskaan ki aisi baat sunn kar woh ab sach me he darr gai thi.

"Purse me meri photo thi aur shayad pata bhi jo maine bataya tha mujhse milne ke liye. Agar woh zinda rehta toh kal hum milne wale the aur fir woh Bombay chala jata wapis. Ab police ke pas mamla gaya hai toh fir mere chance bhi hai fansne ke.", Darr kya hota hai woh jaise aaj us khoobsurat chehre par pehli bar chaya tha. Lekin apni choti behan ko khilkhilate dekh kar woh hairaan ho gai.

"Sorry sorry. Waise aapko pareshan nahi karna chahti thi lekin fir soch ke dekhne me kya jata hai. Baaki photo ke sath ye aapki 2 tasveer bhi woh chodd gaya tha aur us kagaj ko pala kar bhi padh lo. 'Shabnam mujhe kuch thik nahi lag raha. Tumhari photo wapis de raha hu kyonki jab tum he meri ho toh inki jarurat nahi. Kahi mujhe kuch ho gaya toh tum par bhi musibat aa sakti hai. Hamare beech ka koi saboot ab mere pas nahi hai. Kal milte hai.'

Woh panne ke peeche likha sandesh padhte he jaise aankhon se dariya foot pada tha Shabnam ke. Kaagaj chehre par lagaye woh choomti hui rone lagi thi. Muskaan ne apni didi ko gale lagate hue thodi himmat di aur fir chehra saaf karte hue paani hontho se laga dia.

"Muskaan, is sabke badle me ab woh dono pariwar kya kya dekhne wale hai unhe bhi nahi pata. Monti ki maut ka badla ab mere irade aur majboot kar raha hai.", jakhmi naagin si woh geeli aankhon me bhi laal ho rahi thi.

"Didi, aapka gussa jayaj hai aur jaise maine kabhi aapse koi sawaal nahi kia aur hamesha jo kaha woh maan lia toh aap bhi meri baat dhyaan se suno."

"Bol. Lekin kaam ki baat honi chahiye."

"Aap kal ek baar Arjun se mil lo. Dekho isko personally mat lena par woh ladka atcha hai didi. Aapne toh kaam baad me dia tha lekin mujhe woh pehli najar me pasand aa gaya tha. Fir bhi main usko qurbaan karne ke liye aapke sath khadi rahi, beshak ektarafa pyaar hai lekin pyaar hai. Jaane se pehle aap daadi ko khatam karwa dengi toh maa ki ek itcha poori ho jayegi. Lekin Arjun nirdosh hai aur uske pariwar se kya lena dena hai woh kabhi maa ne bataya kya aapko? Aur agar itna he unhe badla lena hai apne sasural se toh fir dusri shaadi karke mujhe kyo paida kia is narak me jeene ke liye?", Chataak ki awaaj ke sath he Shabnam ne Muskaan ka gaal laal kar dia tha. Gusse se woh ghoorti rahi lekin Muskaan ko thappad khaane ke bawjood muskurate dekh badan me chintiya daudne lagi.

"Arjun sabse badi wajah hai is sabke beech. Uske baap ko nuksaan pahuchane se kuch khas nahi hone wala lekin Chandro Devi aur Arjun ki maut se dono pariwar apne aap khatam ho jayenge. Woh buddhiya mukhiya bani firti hai aur ye ladka apne ghar ki jaan. Uski tasveer aur jaankari lene he main yaha khud aai thi kyonki teri baato se pata chal gaya tha ke tu uske neeche aane wali hai, aaj nahi toh kal. Aur ye tune saabit bhi kar dia us se milne ki baat karke. Sahi baat hai ke tu mere baap ka khoon nahi hai, unka khoon kabhi giri hui baat nahi karega. Aise dushman ki tarif tujh jaisi dogali he kar sakti hai lekin main tujhe nuksaan nahi pahuchaungi.", Dimag ka santulan jaise buri tarah hill gaya tha Shabnam ka sirf Arjun ke naam se he.

"Aisa khoon mujhe bhi nahi chahiye. Bhagwaan ka shukar hai ke main dogli hui aur unse dur bhi jinme asli khoon bhara hai. Kasam khilwai thi naa aapne ke main mar jaungi lekin apne pariwar ke baare me kabi kisi ka kuch na batau toh main fir se woh dohrati hu. Aapke ya kisi ke baare me main mooh nahi kholungi lekin anjaam dekhna aap apni zidd ka aur us sati-savitri ko bhi bata dena ki baap jaal me fansa lia lekin beti ajaad hai. Na unke sath hai aur na unke dushmano ke. Arjun mujhe apni rakhail bhi banaye toh bhi khushnaseeb samjhungi khudko. Now Miss Shabnam Singh you may leave. Kamre se bhi aur zindagi se bhi.", Muskaan ne ab kahi apni awaaj unchi ki thi aur Shabnam bhi jaise tayaar he thi jaane ke liye.

"Maine koi kasam nahi khai hai yaad rakhna. Aur teri koi bhi galti ab maaf nahi hogi. Saali hai toh ek bhadve ki he aulaad toh waisi he niklegi.", Gusse se badbadati woh bahar nikal chali andhere me he aur darwaja band karne ke baad Muskaan ki aankhe jaar-jaar aansu bahane lagi. Jaane kitni he der woh waise he baithi khud ko kosti hui roti rahi aur thakk kar aakhir me farsh par he so gai. Har baar aisa toh nahi hota ke sab aapki baat ko samjhe, jo chaho woh mil jaye. Naseeb shayad insaan khud likh leta hai, kabhi galti se toh kabhi himmat se. Yaha Muskaan shayad woh abhagin thi jo pariwar se bhi dur thi aur pyaar se bhi.

Subah takriban 4 baje ka waqt tha jab haveli ke bahar khataka sunn kar Sultaan gurrane laga aur aangan me soya Mohar Singh jaise taise ladkhadata hua darwaje tak aaya.

"Kaun hai bhai itni subah?", Darwaja kholne se pehle Sultan ka patta pakad kar usne awaaj di.

"Mama, Shabnam."

"Kholta hu beti. Chal aaja andar. Waise is bakht aane ka karyakram kaise bann gaya?", Mohar Singh ko aise ladkhadate dekh kar andar aati Shabnam ne pooch he lia.

"Mama, tabiyat thik hai kya? Kisi se ladai jhagda hua hai?"

"Arre beti mere se jhagadne wala is poore gaanv me koi nahi. Log toh tere mama se aankh milate darte hai jhagadna dur ki baat hai."

"Oh Sheikh-chilli sharam hai ke waa bhi bech khaai? Gaam me koi gaand maar ke chala gaya aur yu deeng haake hai is chhori ke syaami. Dedh, taang khullan koni laag ri ar mooh paadna band koni ho reha. Chaal beti tu bhitar chaal main chaa rakhu su.", Apni badi behan Sushila Singh ki aisi khari khotti sunn ke Mohar Singh gaanv ke langde kutte ki tarah kulho ke neeche takiya dabata fir se leit gaya. 'Bhagwan ehsi behan den se aatcha toh ek aur raand de deta jo bahar chud ke kamm te kamm ghar aur jiwan mai sukoon toh raakhti. Ya apna ghar ke chodd ke meri kundli me aa baithi, kaali naagin. Par jo bhi ho gaand toh Shabnam ki bahot suthri aur badi se. Aah.. arr meri behanchod kaun maar gaya re. Aahh.. Utha le re bhagwan us khaagad ne jo aapna khootta baad gaya meri kori dharti ke bheetar.'

"Oh Bhanvri Devi, chaa chaan de ar aade mere kamre me dede.", Andar Sushila bister par Shabnam ke sath baithi thi. Aur apni badi bhabhi ko aadesh deti fir Shabnam ki taraf dekhne lagi.

"Mausi, aap meri wajah se uthi ho ya roj is waqt he uthti ho?"

"Neend kaha aati hai beti. Bas sharir ka bojh kam karne ke liye pasar jaati hu. Tu bata itni savere kaise aana ho gaya? Woh bhi yaha ghar pe?"

"Mausi apne he dagabaaj ho jaye toh fir kaha jaye? Pehle toh soch rahi thi ki Delhi nikal jau lekin idhar ke kaam dhyaan aate he soch ke yahi ek din bita ke fir samay se pehle kaam nibta du."

"Kisne daga kar dia tere sath? Teri mausi ka waqt badla jarur hai lekin bacho ke liye ab bhi 1-2 ka seena paad sakti hai. Tu tension na le aur jabtak rehna hai yaha reh."

"Muskaan pakad se nikal gai mausi aur aise waqt pe jab kaam ko anjaam dena tha. Main toh soche baithi thi ki sab nibta ke hawa ho jaungi aur fasegi woh dogli he. Lekin woh peeche hatt gai aur raat me bahar 2 ghante bitane ke baad main idhar chali aai."

"Muskaan toh aisi na thi. Jitna woh chupchap kar gai utna hum log na kar sake. Khair jo hua so hua, kuch pata laga Shankar ke beej ka?", Sushila mudde ki baat par aa gai thi baaki sab darkinar karte hue.

"Ye raha woh ladka, ab iska kaam aapne karwana hai aur aapki saas ko upar main bhejungi bas Bheem ab koi pareshani na kar de. Maa ne toh pehle he keh dia hai ke aap bano mukhiya unhe bas is kaam se matlab hai. Baaki paise mere waha jaate he aapko mil jayenge.", Sushila gor se photo dekh rahi thi is ladke ki jo kitna masoom aur dil ko bhaane wala tha.

"Pakka yahi hai woh?"

"Haan, yahi hai woh. Arjun naam hai iska aur Muskaan ki tarah stadium me he practice ke liye jata hai. Isko pyaar karne lagi hai woh dogli."

"Koi poori tasveer hai iski?"

"Haan mausi is wali me dekho ye raha aur dusre ka chehra chipp gaya hai.", Sanjiv ke sath wali tasvir dekh kar Sushila soch me he doob gai.

"Kya hua mausi?"

"Pehli wali me toh masoom si surat dikh rahi thi lekin lamba-chauda aur waise he ghungrale baal. Munni agar Shankar par marti thi toh fir Muskaan ka ispe marna jayaj he hai. Aur itne pyaare ladke ko maarne me taklif toh mujhe bhi hogi.", Sushila ki kutil muskaan chipp na saki.

"Maarne ke chakkar me chudwa mat lena mausi.", Sushila Shabnam ki aisi baat par bhi waise he muskurati rahi.

"Arre beta ye shehari kabootar dikhta hai Shankar jaisa lekin teri mausi us bagad-bille ke haath na lagi toh ye fir bhi balak hai. Haan tera dil kare toh le lio iska. Ab ek maje ki baat sunn jara tu bhi.", Sushila ne aankh dabate hue kaha.

"kaisi maje ki baat?"

"Bheem paagal ho chuka hai Menaka ki lene ke liye aur usko shehar me apni rakhail bana ke rakhne ki tamanna hai uski. Usko jimme lagaya tha Rameshwar ke pariwar par najar bithaye rakhne ke liye aur jaanti hai usne kya kia hai?"

"Matlab mujhe bataye bina bhi waha najar rakhi ja rahi thi? Mausi aapne toh ye baat mujhe na bataai.", Sushila apni chori pakde jaane par bhi khaas tarike se hansti hui jaise jaahir kar rahi ho ke woh toh Shabnam ka he kaam kar rahi thi. Lekin Shabnam kya jaanti thi ki idhar ek alag he shatranj bithaye baithi hai uski mausi.

"Tum ho jawaan-garam khoon beta. Humko karna padta hai intjaar, hum boodhe log shikaar ke peeche nahi bhaag sakte na. Poori baat sunn ab. Menaka bidak gai hai aur wajah hai Arjun Sharma. Matlab ab sahi samay hai is ladke ko gherne ka. Bhim isko maarna chahta hai, tera bhi wahi iraada hai aur mera toh dil hai ke Bijender is ladke ka dil nikaal kar Rameshwar ke hath me pakda ke aaye. Mohar Singh ko bhanak na lagne dio nahi toh woh chutiya kaam bigaad dega."

"Aapne ye kaise karne ka socha hai? Dekhna kia karaya kharaab na ho jaye kuch aisi waisi harkat se.", Shabnam abhi jaise nischint na tha.

"Menaka isko musibat me dekh ke toh niklegi na ghar se? Aur ye Menaka se pyaar karta ho ya na karta ho lekin Rameshwar ka khoon hai toh agar Menaka musibat me hogi toh jarur aayega aur akele he aayega. Par wapis nahi jayega. Bijender ko tayaar kia tha Shankar ka saamna karne ke liye lekin utna toh na hua woh fir bhi isko jameen me dafna sakta hai. Bheem bhi Bheem hai aur Menaka ke liye woh pehle he iski jaan ka dushman bana hua hai. Aaj khulwati hu fir bypas wala godaam aur kal Rameshwar ko uska pehla tohfa diya jaye.", Sushila ka chehra badle ki aag se pehli baar laal hua tha. Jaise woh sach me he khoon pee chuki ho apne dushman ka.

"Mausi, aap waha maujud rehna aur main tabtak saamne nahi aane wali jabtak dono kaam nahi ho jate."

"Tujhe bhi sab dikhaungi aur fir teri marji hai ke samne aa kar dekhe ya fir chupchap band kamre se dekh kar nikal jaye. Ab tu araam kar aur main jara chakkar laga aau nohre ka.", Shabnam ko araam karne ka keh kar woh bahar nikal chali aur Shabnam apne aap se kehne lagi, 'Jaanti hu raand tu bhi kitna soche baithi hai lekin tu purani hogi khiladi par Shabnam tere bhi par kaategi waqt aane pe.' In dono ko bas ye khabar na thi ki inki baatein koi aur bhi sunn chuka hai jo ab saari soochna aage pahuchane wala tha.
.
.
"Itni savere tum university me? Baat toh shaam ko milne ki hui thi."

"Mujhe laga tha ke shayad humko thoda jaldi milna chahiye. Kai baar sab samay se nahi hota."

"Haan thik kia tumne jo khud aa gaye. Udhar chalo waha hum bina najro me aaye baat kar sakte hai."

"Baith jao peeche."

"Waise tumhe kitni der hui yaha khade hue?"

"Ek ghanta ho he gaya hoga lekin jaanta tha ke tum idhar jarur aati ho 5 baje, aaj saadhe 5 baje he sahi."

"Mujhe tumse woh sab nahi chahiye ab."

"Lekin ab mujhe chahiye."

Update 94
Shatranz Ke khiladi (2)


Kareeb sava 6 baje Arjun park ke bahar aa khada hua jaha Aacharya Pramod Shastri ji apne samay ke paschaat bhi jaise uska he intjaar kar rahe the. Mukh par hamesha he rehne wala woh tej aur laali unke vyaktitva ki pehchaan. Arjun ne kareeb aate he unke paanv chuhe aur bina kuch kahe khada ho gaya.

"Bhai aaj jara humko bhi sawari karwao iski. Humne toh Jawa aur Triumph he chalaye lekin iska anubhav lena jaise tumhari sath he likha tha.", Unki aisi muskaan dekh Arjun ne apni hatheli unke saamne kar di jispar bullet ki chabi rakhi thi.

"Disha dikhane wale saamne rehte hai baba.", Arjun ke aisa kehne se he Aacharya ji sneh se gadgad ho gaye. Jo ladka unhe sabse priya tha aur unhone kabhi ye khud se bhi kabool na kia tha aaj usne jis haq se 'baba' pukara tha wahi shabd jaise woh kabse sunn-na chahte the. Apne samkaksh kad ke is ubharte vyaktitva ko gale lagane ke baad Aacharya ji jaise us bullet par sawaar hue toh Arjun ne bhi mehsoos kia tha ke uski 'Rani' ab shresth hath me thi. Woh saidev shaant rehne wala chehra ab kisi jawaan premi sa dikh raha tha. Aur Arjun ke peeche baithte he 'katak' ki awaaj bhi naa aai aur motorcycle aage badh gai.

"Hum swayam ko jaan-ne ke liye jitna andar se nirikshan karte hai utna bahar se bhi karna chahiye. Beshak ye maayne rakhne jaisa na lage kyonki ab sharir aur swayam toh ek he hai. Lekin prabhav bahut badi cheej hai beta. Woh tumhare aane se pehle tumhare liye tayaar tha aur ab bhi tumhe ghere hai."

"Baba, ye prabhav mujhe utna kyo nahi pata chalta jitna mujhe lagta hai ke woh kahi jyada he bada hai?"

"Tumhe aisa lagta hai ke woh bada hai? Beta, jara ye dekhna.", Motorcycle ki gati ekaek badh gai aur dono ke sahi bhaar se jaise bullet kahi jyada behtar pakad se daud rahi thi. Bypas par karte he pehli baar Arjun ki rani 130 ke upar udd rahi thi lekin hawa ko cheerti hui woh ab aise shaant thi jaise woh 'dug-dug' wala yantra gayab ho gaya ho usme se. Dono ki aankho se halka pani nikalta kaan ki disha me jaa raha tha. Kuch pal baad dono jaha ruke the woh wahi sarovar tha jaha Arjun Annu ko liye aaya tha.

"Kya mehsoos kia abhi?"

"Sab achanak ke hua. Ek pal ke liye ajeeb jaise niyantran se bahar ja rahi ho sthiti aur fir sab shaant lekin bahut tej aur wahi raftar jaise mann ko shaant karne lagi. Aisa lag raha tha ke Rani ne apni kashamta ko, us vaig ke sath bandh kar kaabu kar lia ho. Ye raftaar badhne ke bawjood sukoon de rahi thi."

"Rani.. hmm. Tum keh rahe the na dabaav bada lagta hai. Woh dabaav kaise cheer kar sukoon mila tumhari is 'Rani' ko? Gati toh tumne bhi mehsoos ki thi. Fir kahi koi dabaav na tha. Beta, woh dabaav jabtak tumhe uljhaye rakhega tum usko is sookshm roop ko bhi bade baadal samaan paoge. Lekin Arjun ka teer megh ke paar nikal kar bhi Indra ke sinhasan par aa laga tha. Matlab woh baadal ek dikhava hai aur tumhara vishwas aur kshamta kahi jyada badi jo har dabaav ke paar ja kar tumhe khud se milwayegi. Us pal me tumhe thik waisa he anubhav hoga jaisa kuch samay pehle abhi tumne kia. Lekin woh wala kshann bhar ke liye nahi hoga.", Aacharya ji muskurate hue seedhiyon ki taraf chal diye Arjun bhi gehri saans bharta hua unse ek kadam peeche chalne laga.

"Aapka kehna hai ke dabaav vyarth hai ya bhram jaisa kuch hai.?"

"Maine aisa toh nahi kaha dost. Saamne se truck aa raha hota toh hum dono kaha hote? Waise he maine jab megh kaha toh usme jal bhi bhara ho sakta hai aur vidhyut bhi. Khud ko niyantrit kar sakoge toh truck bhi nikal jayega aur woh paani-bijli bhi tumhe sehyog he denge. Anyatha udta kaagaj raftaar me disha bhool jata hai aur paani me geela. 'Rani' kuch hadd tak majboot hai aur tumhari hadd us se kahi jyada. Idhar dekho lekin shaant rehna.", Aacharya ji adhiktar udaharan he dete the baad me vyakhyaan agar jaruri lagta.

Arjun bhi un lambi seedhiyo par baitha dekhne laga ke kaise woh paani me doobi teesri seedhi par ek khaas tarike se ungli chalate hue tarange utpann kar rahe the. Aisa nahi tha ke woh ye kuch second tak karte rahe, agle 7-8 minute tak woh nirantar wahi dohrate rahe aur fir hath aadha feet andar aur utni he teji se bahar. Ek feet ke lagbhag lambai ke ye saleti si 'cat-fish' dono paro ke barabar se unke hath me idhar udhar hil rahi thi. Arjun kabhi us machli ko aur kabhi Aacharya ji ko dekh raha tha. Woh chamakdar thi aur fislan se bharpoor lekin fir bhi uske hath ki giraft me.

"Ye kitna daabav sehti hai maloom hai? Is paani ke talhatti me shayad itna wajan jitna kisi bade truck ko tumhare sar par rakh diya jaye utna. Ye ek minute agar us thehrav me aai toh jiwan dene wala paani he iska kaal ban kar praan le lega. Aur jara us taraf jaa kar khade ho jao.", Arjun tej kadmo se unki bataai disha me badh chala toh 20-25 feet duri par unhone rukne ko kaha aur machli ko hawa me uchaal dia. Paani par girte he woh aankhon se aujhal ho gai lekin fir 2-3 gol tarange banati apne zinda hone ka saboot de gai.

"Usko kuch nahi hua?"

"Jiwan milna thoda kasht de sakta hai lekin hai toh anmol he.", Agle 10 minute dono wahi seedhiyo par baithe rahe fir Arjun pehle baar unhe ghar ke bahar tak chhodd kar apne 'sansar' laut aaya. Thodi der se sahi lekin jyada he durust ho kar.
.
.
"Thik ho aap?", Arjun nahane ke baad Ritu didi ke kamre me ab unhe apne se lagaye baitha tha. Woh bhi band kamre me apne dheele kapdo ke sath uske seene se lagi pyaar ke chote se pal me muskura rahi thi.

"Mujhe kya hua hai?"

"Wahi jo har mahine hota hai. Aapko taklif nahi hoti kya?"

"Hoti hai baba lekin pehle se bahut kam. Tumhari dawa kaam kar gai hai na aur ab tumne toh raha saha bhi khatam kar dia.", Arjun ne unke gulabi hontho ko choom kar fir seene par lita lia. Peeth sehlata hua woh jaise sachmuch Ritu ko sukoon de raha tha. Maasik chakra ko jaha log ghrina se dekhte the wahi Arjun ke liye bas ye ek chakra tha jisme uski sangini ko thode atirikt prem ki jarurat thi.

"Aap kahi jyada pyaari ho, pata hai?"

"Haan, kyonki tum jhooth nahi kehte kabhi.", Hansti hui woh Arjun ke gaal ko daanto se halka sa kaat kar jeebh se chatne lagi.

"Shaitaan bhi ho. Araam se leti raho na thodi der.", Arjun unke dono kulho ko halke se apni taraf dabate hue manmani karne de raha tha.

"Kal main aur Alka daadi aur maa ke sath naani ke ja rahe hai. Shayad baaki aur log bhi jaye kyonki badi gaadi se jaana hai.", Ritu didi ki baat sunn kar Arjun unka chehra dekhne laga.

"Kyon?"

"Daadi ne mannat ki hui thi aur kal Mangalwar bhi hai toh Hanuman ji ka prashad lagane. Jaha tak mujhe pata hai Aarti, Tara, Madhuri didi bhi sath chalengi. Lekin main aur Alka toh mandir ki jagah naani ke ghar rehne wali hai. Waha bhi maja aata hai. Aur tum hote toh jyada atcha lagta lekin Daadi ne saaf mana kar dia ke Arjun ko mandir nahi leke jaana."

"Aapne mujhe kabhi dekha hai kya mandir jaate? Haan fir kabhi sirf aapko leke jaunga lekin alag mandir me, Hanumanji wale me toh mushkil hai.", Arjun ke is tarah se kehne se he Ritu samajh gai ki ishara kis taraf hai.

"Gande kahi ke."

"Kyon, aap nahi chalogi mere sath Krishna-pranami?", Arjun ne jitni saadgi se poocha tha Ritu ne apni aankhe band karte hue apne labb uske hontho par dabane ke baad dheemi awaaj me kaha.

"Main khud chahti hu ke hum gandharv ko vastavik bana de. Jab tum kahoge main tayar rahungi.", Is baar ka gale lagna alag tha. Premika ki jagah ye jivansangini thi.

"Khana kha lo tum dono ab. Haan sath me main bhi khaungi he.", Alka didi ne darwaja wapis laga kar khana bister par khali jagah rakh dia. Halki fulki masti karta Arjun waha se uth kar bartan rasoi me rakhta hua apni maa ko kuch kehkar ghar se nikal chala.
.
.
Menaka nashte se farig hone ke baad ab pichle aangan me kapde dhone ki machine lagane lagi thi. Nal ke neeche paani balti rakh kar woh Manju ko dekhne andar aai toh Manju itminaan se saaf-safaai karne me vyast dikhi. Jhadu pehle he laga chuki thi aur ab kaanch ka table kapde se chamkati hui woh kuch gungunane lag rahi thi.

"Oh laado meri. Araam kar le ya kitab khol le thodi der. Ye saaf-safaai main kar lungi."

"Didi, itna bhi kaam nahi hai. Aur 2 ghante pehle so ke uthne ke baad fir se araam kaun karta hai?", Muskurati hui woh thoda paani chiddak kar akhbaar se sheesha chamkane lagi.

"Tujhse kuch baat karni hai Manju, jara chai rakh main balti ka pani band kar ke aati hu.", Manju bhi sar jhatakti hui rasoi ki taraf chal di. Haath dhone ke baad pani ka bartan chulhe par chadhaya toh Menaka bhi andar aa khadi hui. Pathar ki slab par hath rakhti woh Manju ko dekhne lagi.

"Arjun khatre me hain.", Manju ke haath kaamp gaye itna sunte he. Woh jaise pal me he safed padd gai thi Menaka ke mooh Arjun ke liye aisa sunn kar.

"K..kis se khatra hai usko? Aapko kaise pata didi?", Manju pyaar jo karti thi us shakhs se jiska naam lia gaya tha.

"Mere pariwar se hai Manju. Tujhe main isliye ye bata rahi hu ki tumhari aankhon me maine uske liye samarpan aur pyaar dekha hai. Chahe woh tum dono ka aapas me khelna ya tumhare liye plate lagana ho. Woh bhi dil se tumhare liye sab karta hai. Pata nahi kitna sach hai ya kahi main jyada he sochti hou. Lekin tum uski bahut parwaah karti ho. Main khud usko kuch nahi keh sakti aur tumse bhi vachan chahti hu ki usko ye nahi kahogi ki maine tumhe bataya hai. Agar vachan de sakti ho toh main khatre se aagah kar sakti hu nahi toh seedha mere saamne aane par woh bach bhi jaye lekin mera wajood khatre me padd sakta hai aur sath he bahut se logo ka."

"Uske liye main kuch bhi karne ko tayaar hu. Tum befikar raho Manju kabhi jikar nahi karegi, apni aakhiri saans tak.", Manju aaj jaise Menaka ka rishta he bhool gai thi, aavesh aur darr ki wajah se. Woh bhi halki muskurahat ke sath chulhe ke saamne aati usme patti-adrak daalne lagi. Manju chup khadi bas dekh rahi thi ki Menaka ko chai ki padi hai aisi gambhir baat kehne ke baad. Lekin usko jawaab jald he mil gaya.

"Mera pariwar sirf wahi 4 log nahi hai jinhe tum jaanti ho. Ye bhi utna he bada hai jitna Arjun ka, shayad us se bhi kahi bada. Lekin yaha family tree sunane ki jagah main mudde ki baat karti hu. Mere bade bhaiya koi mahatma nahi hai jaisa agar maine unke mehant se mujhe padhane, paalne ke baare me pehle bataya tha. Main khud andhere me thi Manju. Woh chahte hai Arjun ko khatam karna aur isme unke sath hai meri badi bhabhi. Ye Bheem ki patni ki baat nahi kar rahi hu main, yaha 4 aur bhabhiya hai meri jinme se ek ko main thoda jyada jaanti hu aur dusri ke baare me jaanti hu lekin woh dikhi he nahi kabhi jyada. Toh 4 me se 2 bhabhiya jo meri maa ki umar ki hongi, woh apne bacho ke sath milkar chahti hai Arjun ko khatam karna. Waisa mauka mila toh woh uske pariwar ke harke vyakti ke sath aisa karna chahenge lekin Arjun ka pariwar apne aap me ek rehasya hai aur sath he aisa quila jisme koi khidki bahar nahi khulti jiski madad se koi bhed sake.", Menaka raamkahani sunate hue ruk ruk kar Manju ko bhi dekh rahi thi. Fir paani me ubaal aane par doodh dalti hui Manju ko dekhne lagi.

"Aur mere bhai ko ab ek nai wajah mil gai Arjun ko jaldi se jaldi raste se hatane ki. Aur ek wahi ladka hai jisko nuksaan pahuchate he uska pariwaar bikhar jayega. Meri badi bhabhiya kunbe se bahar hai aur jitni shaatir hai woh main bhi nahi soch sakti. Lekin is poore shadyantra me unke sath aur bhi darinde hai. Waqt kam hai aur jaha tak lagta hai unke liye ye waqt sahi hoga Arjun ko shikarn banane ke liye."

"Aur tum is sabme kaun ho? Tumhari sachhai kya hai Menaka?", Manju jo itni der se sunn rahi thi uski aankhon me aansu the aur dard. Kab usne Menaka ke dono hath kass ke pakad liye khud woh bhi nahi jaanti thi.

"Bakri thi main is sabke beech. Ek masoom si bakri jo kabhi idhar baandh di kabhi udhar. Sher ko pakadne ke liye lekin ab bakri bhi unke hath se bahar nikal aai hai toh chatpatahat jyada ho gai hai. Ho sakta hai ke Arjun ke sath meri bhi aahuti de di jaye. Woh jyada thik rahega us se jo main sapne me bhi khud ke sath hone wale anjaam se khauf khaa rahi hu.", Menaka ki halat aur baat ne Manju ko fir se vartmaan me la kar patak dia.

"Woh kya karne wale hai? Aur kaise?", Manju ne khud ko sambhalte hue ab samajhna he behtar mana.

"Woh shehar me toh aisa kuch kar nahi sakte aur Arjun ko bahar bulane ke liye unhe jarurat padegi ek bade chaare ki. Aur agar unhe itna he pata hai toh woh mujhe ya tumhe uthayenge. Ho sakta hai kisi aur ko bhi jo galti se unki najar me aa gaya ho aur jaankari le chuke ho uske baare me. Lekin sabse asaan main hu aur Arjun ko tum jaanti he ho ke woh madad karne se kabhi peeche nahi hat-ta toh agar kisi ki jaan khatre me padne par woh apni bhi daav par laga dega. Dekho Manju, is khatre ke talne ke baad tum mujhse jo bhi puchogi main sab bataungi lekin filhaal har cheej ko gor se samjho aur batao ke ye mauka he kyo thik hai.", Manju uljhan me padd gai aur Menaka chai ko 2 gilas me daalti khud bhi soch rahi thi. Chai liye woh apne kamre me chal di aur peeche gumsum si Manju.

"Arjun ke ghar me is waqt uske papa-chacha aur tauji nahi hai aur bhaiya bhi. Dada ji hamesha ghar rehte hai aur bujurg hai. Kal subah toh baaki ke sabhi log bhi nahi honge kyonki sab hamare gaanv jaane wale hai aur fir shehar. Matlab agar Arjun ke sath kuch hone wala hai toh .."

"Haan Manju, mujhe bhi chachi se pata chala tha ke woh log mangalwar ko ghar nahi honge aur jinse sab darte hai woh pehle he desh se bahar hai. Arjun kis waqt ghar nahi hota?"

"Subah se lekar dopahar tak woh school hota hai aur fir shaam ko stadium. School ke pas koi itni himmat nahi karega kyonki woh ghar ke pas hai aur school ke barabar he thana bhi hai. Waha aap bhi hongi aur Arjun bhi. Ye baat toh aap bhi jaan lijiye ke woh koi bacha nahi hai agar uske samne kisi ne aap par ya mujh par hath dala toh woh saamna kar sakta hai."

"Jawaan logo me yahi problem hoti hai ke woh jald hosh kho dete hai. Jinse khatra hai woh log dimag se itne shant hai ke saalo se woh jaise bahari duniya se alag hue pade hai. Rahi baat josh aur taqat ki toh ek janwar badi bhabhi ke pas hai Bijender ke roop me aur dusra mere bhaiya Bheem. Waise woh na bhai kehlane layak hai na bheem, duryodhan jyada thik rahega. Aur sher ko maarne ke liye kai jagah bade kutto ka prayog bhi hota hai. Agar Arjun tumhari soch me kahi jyada he majboot aur diler hai toh main bhi chahungi ke tumhara kehna he uchit ho. Bas ghinone dimaag jyada aage na soche baithe ho.", Menaka apni taraf se jitna batana chahti thi utna bata chuki thi.

"Woh log kisi ko stadium bhejenge. Arjun ka wahi thikana hai jaha uske aas-pas woh log nahi honge jinki woh parwah karta, jaisa woh log sochte hai. Preeti kal hogi nahi aur main yaha tumhare sath rehne wali hu."

"Tumhe jana he hoga Manju. Ye talwar aise jaane kab tak latakti rahegi. Mujhe woh yaha se le jaye toh tum kanoon ka sahara lena aur Arjun ko wahi roke rakhna. Sirf yahi ek tarika hai jis se main usko bacha sakti hu aur baaki sabko unke anjaam tak pahuchaya ja sakta hai.", Menaka ne jaise thaan lia tha ke ab bhi woh Arjun ko is sabse bahar he rakhegi, uske sath jo hota hai ho jaye.

"Agar woh aise log hai toh kanoon me bhi kahi na kahi unki pakad toh hogi he. Aur aap he nahi rahi toh fir sab vyarth ho jayega. Aisi qurbani woh bhi aap Arjun ke liye dene ko tayaar hai?"

"Jaan toh bahot chhoti cheej hai Manju, us ladke aur poore pariwar ke liye toh har roj marna bhi qubool hai mujhe. Unki apradhi bhi hu aur mureed bhi."

"Thik hai fir aap ghar rahengi aur main stadium lekin kuch badlaav ke sath.", Manju kuch vishwas se itna keh kar waha se uth khadi hui.
.

"Mausi, aap aaj dhaniye-hari mirch ki chutnye banao toh khaane ka jyada maja aayega.", Arjun kuch der tak Saroj mausi ke sath gaushala me tehlta raha aur fir jab unhone khaane ka poocha toh Arjun ne apni pyaari mausi se farmaish kar di. Ghar se nikalte he woh aadhe ghante me yaha pahuch gaya tha aur ummeed ke mutabik mausi pehle se wahi mili thi. Aaj pichle din se bhi kahi jyada khush aur muskurati hui.

"Haan toh mere laadle ke liye itna toh kar he sakti hu. Bas thoda intjaar karna padega kyonki khet tak aane jaane me samay lagega aur banane me bhi.", Saroj mausi ko niharta hua woh unki baat bhi sunn raha tha.

"Fir khet pe he khayenge khana. Itni der me bhookh bhi lag he jayegi aur waha jyada sukoon hoga idhar se.", Arjun ki baat ka matlab samajhti woh halki si laal hoti apni saadgi bhari muskaan se usko dekhne lagi.

"Khet ka rasta idhar se bhi hai. Chalo fir wahi baith jana.", Mausi ne woh kacha taar wala darwaja dikhate hue sath chalne ko kaha.

"Aap chalo main jara ek baar ye sab dekh kar aata hu. Mausi, udhar paani ki vyavastha hai kya?", Arjun ki aisi baat par woh thoda hairaan ho gai.

"Mera matlab pani ki tanki ya nahane ki jagah se hai mausi. Woh thoda mitti aur paseena hone ki wajah se. Aap chinta mat karo agar nahi hai toh main idhar naha lunga."

"Beta poori haud hai waha par aur motor bhi lagi hai. Yaha fir mitti me ganda hoga lekin khet me ek hissa sirf rehne ke hisaab se tayaar kia hua hai. Chal tu jab dil kare aa jana. Ye seedha chalte hue woh neem ke peid ke pas aa jana, bagichi aur kamra wahi hai.", Arjun jaanta tha us jagah ko kahi atche se lekin fir bhi dhyan se dekhne ka dikhawa karta woh 400 gaz ki duri par nigaah marta sar hilane laga.

"Thik hai aap chalo main bhi aata hu. Aur inhe khulla he rehne du na.", Dono kutte aaj Arjun ke pas he ghoom rahe the jinke lambe baal woh sehlata hua mausi se pooch raha tha.

"Haan. Lekin ye band karke aana nahi toh khet me he aa jayenge ye.", Darwaja kholti woh aage gai idhar Arjun ne woh janjir wapis band karte he dono kutto ki gardan baahon me lete hue pyaar se kaha.

"Ab tum log masti karo aur main kaam karta hu.", Charpai par rakh doodh ka dabba bade bartan me khali karta woh us dusre kamre me ghus gaya aur ye dono bade kutte us bartan se ja lage. Jaise jaldi he dono ne Arjun ko apna khaas dost maan lia tha. Chabi bahar nikalte waqt bhi Arjun ne usko kapde se he pakda tha aur ab andar wale raste se he woh kutto ke jaali lage kamre me aa gaya tha. 8x10 ka ye kamre bahar se jaise aadha he dikhta tha saht lage darwaje ki wajah se lekin andar woh ek he tha jaise dusra darwaja ek bhram he ho. 2 lohe ke peti idhar kone me rakhi thi jaha najar nahi padti thi. Chabi aage aur peeche se daant wali thi matlab dono he taalo ke liye.

'Khul ja sim-sim', Arjun ne muskurate hue woh upar wala tala khola aur andar dher saare 'Koras' company ki rang-birangi file dekh kar hairaan ho gaya. Ye waisi he gatte ki file thi jaisi kaagz sambhalne ke liye dafta-school me prayog hoti hai. Kapde se pehli file ko upar uthate he uspar likha naam dekh kar ek taraf rakh dia. Koi Roshan tha jiski file the. Aise he 3-4 file hatane ke baad ye naam padhte he Arjun ne usko utha lia. 'Sushila'. Matlab ye naam wahi tha jo usne phone par suna tha. Koi 4 panne aur 6 tasveer dekhne ke baad Arjun ne woh wapis rakhte hue uske neeche wali file uthai. Agle 10 minute me he woh 6 file apne dimaag me bitha chuka tha. Unko sahi se wapis rakhne ke baad ye peti band karke usne ek aur rakh di.

'Itna jhamela hai aur kitne araam se ye log rehte hai jaise inse atchi zindagi kisi aur ki hai he nahi. Bewkoofi bhi hai jo itna samaan rakhe baithe hai.', Arjun dusri peti kholta yahi keh raha tha khudse aur isme jyada chaukane wala samaan tha.

"Ye photo toh meri aur Preeti ki lekin idhar.? Fir peeche laga khoon dekh kar jaise kuch samajhne laga tha ke ye kaise hansil ki gai hongi. Ek peele kaagaj me Muskaan, Shabnam, Akanksha ki tasveer dekh kar jaise Arjun ko jhatka laga. Shabnam ki tasveer toh khud usne bhi kal he dekhi thi aur yaha woh pehle se he thi lekin peeche likha tha unknown. Waise he Muskaan ki tasvir ke peeche likha tha lekin Akanksha ki photo ke peeche padhte he usne kuch rahat ki saans li. 'Friend'. Ek aur folder me wahi pehalwan tha jisne Vikas par hamla kia tha. (Bijender) aur yaha file wali Sushila ki ek photo thi (Maa), ek sehatmand tagdi yuvti jiska naam likha tha Babita (behan) aur fir Mohar Singh. Yaha kuch aur bhi photo thi jinke upar kaala kanta mara gaya tha aur sab alag alag tarah se rakhi gai thi.

'Matlab abhi inhe mere baare me bhi utna he pata hai jitna jaruri hai. Lekin Shabnam inki bhi pahuch se bahar rahi hai. Laal folder me Menaka ke maa aur bhai ki photo Sushila ke sath lekin Menaka ki photo meri wali list me. Hmm.. Sahi ja rahe ho papa lekin ab nahi fansne wala aapke chakkar me. Chal beta Arjun ab jara mausi ka haal-chaal lete hai fir muskaan ka ehsaan bhi utarna hai.', Sab sahi se rakhta woh bahar aa gaya. Itni he der me badan par paseena paani ki tarah aa chuka tha. Chabi wahi rakhta woh fir se dono kutto ke sath dil behlane laga. Rubber ki gend fenkta aur unhe bari bari se daudata woh jaise unhe thakana chahta tha ya unse kahi jyada he ghulna milna.

"Abse ye gale me patta nahi pehan-na. Chalo araam karo dosto.", Dono ki gardan se woh nylon ka chauda patta khol kar diwar par taangne ke baad woh bhi khet ki taraf badh chala. Apne pita ke prati uske dil me aadar aur badh gaya tha sab jaan-ne ke baad aur ab woh bhi chahta tha ke kuch aur photo par lakire lage lekin uska hath kharaab na ho. Pita ke liye woh wahi chota bacha rehna chahta tha jo ab tak woh bana hua tha.

"Mausi, lagta hai jyada pareshaan kar dia maine aapko. Aur yaha bhi chulha lagaye baithi ho aap.", Arjun aaspas ka ye jana-pehchana khoobsurat mahol dekh kar thoda taja mehsoos kar raha tha. Wahi Saroj mausi aam ke vrikhs ki thandi chaya ke neeche lakdi ki peedhi par baithi aanta goondh rahi thi. Bhari vaksh unke suit ke gale se 1/3 bahar nikalte hue hil bhi rahe the. Fir najar ghumata woh unke pas he rakhi taaji chutney aur karaahi dekhne par muskurata hua is badi tanki ke pas aa khada hua, unse 10 feet dur. Cement aur eent ki bani ye majboot tanki uski lambai jitni he thi aur atchi chaudi upar tak labalab bhari.

"Tune kaha pareshan kia re. Main toh khush hu ke tu is budhiya ke kehne bhar se uske pas chala aaya. Is bahane mujhe thoda kaam bhi mil gaya aur araam bhi. Abhi bhari hai maine ye aur tu idhar he naha le, main angocha de dungi paunchne ke liye.", Arjun hansta hue kapde utaar kar us sann ki rassi par tangne laga jo shayad chaya me kapde dalne ke liye he 2 peido se bandhi thi. 15-20 vriksho se ghira ye hissa sachmuch kisi prakritik swarg sa he tha. Aam ki bor ki mehak, bagiche me lage phool aur aaspas ka saf-suthra ye poora hissa Arjun ke dil ko bha gaya tha. Usko jaise pata he na tha ke Mausi kabse uske lambe chaude sharir ko nihar rahi thi. Sirf aadhi jaangh tak ka safed rang ka elastic wala kacha pehne woh ek choti balti se paani nikal kar apne upar daalne laga.

Lambe baal bheegne se apni poori lambai dikhate uske chehre ko bhi dhakk gaye the. Sharir ko atche se masal kar woh 5-6 balti girane ke baad khud ko upar se neeche tak dekhne laga.

"Mausi sach me aapne ye jagah jannat si bana rakhi hai. Jaane kitni mehnat ki hogi isko itna khaas banane me.", Arjun ki saadgi se kahi baat par aate ke upar kapda rakhti woh bhi hath dhone uske paas aa khadi hui. Arjun hath dhulwa raha tha aur fir se najar un sunehari kharbujo par ja padi. Ek dam chikne chamakdar ubhaar jaise bina kahe bhi mausi ke jism ke prati bahut kuch keh rahe the. Arjun ke kache me naa chahte hue bhi ubhaar badhne laga jisko dekh kar mausi bhi muskura uthi.

"Ye teri mausi ne apni laadli ke liye khud tayaar kia tha. Haan woh bargad sabse purana hai jiski wajah se baaki peid fale-fule aur aaj ye aisa ho gaya. Manju yaha tairna seekhti thi jab 4 saal ki hogi. Fir humne is se badi kheill (Long open tank) kamro ke pichle hisse me banwa ke di toh woh ghanto lagi rehti thi un 25 foot ko maapti. Fir woh yaha bas tabhi aane lagi jab uska thoda akele rehne ka mann hota. Kheill toh 8 saal se sukhi padi hai. Aur tune agar jyada he masti karni hai toh isme baith ja, teri gajar uthne lagi hai.", Mooh par hath rakh ke hansti hui woh tanki se pani Arjun ke mooh par fenkti palat kar jaane lagi.

"Aap bhi sath he aa jao andar iske. Kya pata ye baith jaye.", Arjun se itna khulle nimantran ki ummeed unhe na thi lekin woh hansti hui aage chal di.

"Khud bitha le isko beta, budhiya ke sath kahi fir ye rooth he na jaye.", Unka itna khushnuma swabhaav dekh kar Arjun bhi hansta hua us badi tanki me utar gaya.

"Mausi mujhe toh lagta hai ke Manju ki wajah se aisa keh rahi ho aap. Lekin woh beti nahi lagti aapki agar lambai aur aankhe hata de. Aap 30 se kahi upar nahi dikhti aur uski tarah dubli patli nahi ho.", Arjun itna keh kar dubki lagata khada ho gaya.

"Hawa me na chadha ab itna bhi. Shaadi ke samay main bhi Manju jaisi he thi lekin fir jaane kab charbi chaddh gai. Tere mausa ka toh kehna ke meri ab naani ban-ne ki umar ho gai hai toh ab main kaam-dhaam bhi band kar du."

"Mausa ke liye toh main kuch nahi keh sakta kyonki woh bade hai. Lekin itna kahunga ke aap jaisi biwi ho toh pati ghar se ghante bhar bhi dur na rahe. Sab kaam bhi karti ho ghar-pariwar, khet-khalihan ka aur mausa-manju ka bhi lekin fir bhi hardam muskurati rehti ho."

"Bada jaanta hai re tu apni mausi ko.", Saroj mausi ab salad ke liye kuch hare pyaj aur gol chote kheere todd rahi thi.

"Mausi, dil ki baat kahu toh aapke college me agar main bhi hota na us waqt toh pakka bhaga le jata main aapko. Ab toh mausa ji le ude aur main jara deir se paida hua.", Hansta hua woh bahar nikla toh mausi ne sar par chapat lagate hue woh safed gamcha aur toliya usko pakda dia.

"Tere mausa toh vairagi ho gai jaane unhone kya dekh lia mujhme. Chal gamcha baandh le aur main rotiyan paka lu fir khaane ke baad baatein karenge.

Gollu aur Bijender apne sath 2 aur sathio or ek majdoor se aadmi ko liye jeep se is sunsaan sadak par bani ek manjila godaam jaisi ek manjila imaarat ke bahar aa khade hue. Dadtyakar sharir wale Bijender ne tala kholne ke baad ek hath se he us 20 feet chaude shutter ko upar uthate hue rasta khol dia. Gollu ne bhi jeep seedha andar karne ke baad utar kar Bijender ko thodi hairani se dekha.

"Bhai eb konsa kaam pakad lia yu? Is viraane me aan ke paache ke majburi ho gai.?"

"Aaja mere yaar jara isne thoda sanwaar deva. Oye thaam donu Maangeram ke sath milke woh aagle hisse ne thoda thik karwa dyo ar gaadi me lattu (bulb) pade hai woh lagwa dio. Main ar Gollu jarah jaanch-padtaal kar leva.", Uske kehte he woh teeno log furti se kaam me lag gaye. Yaha andar aate he 30 feet tak pakka farsha aur aage kachi jameen jispar jhaadiya ugg aai thi. Andar he ek taraf bada khali sa ujaad plot tha jaha 2-3 peid lage the aur ek taraf band store ya bathroom jaisa kuch tha. Idhar aakhir me upar jaane ke liye bahar se he seedhiya lagi thi lekin jarjar haalat me. Hath lagne bhar se woh gir sakti thi.

"Ehsa ke kaam hath lagya bhai ke aade aan ki load padd gai? Yu toh bahut badi jagah hai.", Gollu ab uske sath wo kachi jameen se godaam ke andar aa gaya tha jaha 20x90 foot ka ye bada haal ab thoda roshan tha diwar par lage 2 bade bulb ki roshni me. Aage ki taraf Mangeram kooda ek taraf karta hua jaale bhi hata raha tha. Bilkul aakhir me yaha toote kaanch ki khidkia aur 2 kamre bane the. Aur ek taraf shochalaya.

"Kaam badda hai bhai aur jitne log yaha hai hum sabne he yu kaam anjaam dena hai. Kade se bhi halki si galti ka matlab thaam saare meri maa ne jaano he ho. Maar degi bina sawaal jawaab ke.", Fir kuch der tak woh baaki charo ko badi gambhirta se sab samjhane laga aur fir ek kamre me chal dia Gollu ko liye. Is varsho se band kamre me ek darwaja bahar gali me bhi nikalta tha aur andar ki diwar par ye kala dedh feet ka sheesha laga tha jo bahar se purane aaine jaisa tha. Dhyaan se khud usko saaf karke woh bahar khade teeno ko dekhne laga.

"Yar yu chhora stadium me se arr main dekh chukya hu isne. Bada bhala chhora hai aur uski khatir itna jhanjhatt. Maarna he hai toh saale ne utha lete stadium ke bahar te aur nehar me fenk dena tha. Bera ni taai (Sushila) ke pakaana chahve hai.", Gollu kameej jhadta hua woh bahar ke darwaje se gali dekhne laga.

"Bhai maa jyada na bolti lekin itna jarur bataya ke yu chhora unka he hai jina ne mere pita ar dada ti maara tha. Ar England wali mausi iske khoon ke badle apna gaam ka hissa bhi maa ne den laag ri hai. 5 crore ke sath apni beti kya byaah mere gail. Lekin main is sabme is khatir shaamil konya. Tu toh jaane hai ke lugai mere kaam ki koni aur peesa mere daadke me bhi bahot hai aur naanke me bhi.", Bijender thoda gambhir ho gaya tha apni baat kehte hue. Gollu bhi apne dost ke kandhe par hath rakh ke jaise usko aage bolne ko kehne laga.

"Bhai mere ti bera hai ke tuh moh-maya te ghanni dur hai. Hum saare toh daru bhi pee leva ha ar kade hath lage toh koi kabootri bhi khet me pakad leva ha. Tu kade ehsa koi kaam ni karda."

"Main bhi pyaar karu su re Gollu. Mera jee bhi kare hai ke byaah karu, kheti sambhalu ar baalak paida karke pariwar banau. Fer tere gail daaru pee ke ghar jau toh meri jaan manne apne hath teh took khilave arr koli bhar ke mere te chipat ke sove. Lekin waa bhi sharat rakhe baithi hai ke byaah jadd karegi jib main Shankar ke chhore ki chaati paad usne khatam karunga.", Bijender jaise ekaek dil ki gehrai se bolne laga tha. Apni zindagi ka sach jo kabhi woh keh na paya tha aur is kaam se pehle woh apne raajdar ko bata ke halka hona chahta ho.

"Bhai tu karega yu aur main tere byaah me sar pe bottle rakh ke gaam ka chakkar lagaunga. Gollu apne yaar ke khatar kise teh bhi takraan ne tayaar hai."

"Gollu shart ka dusra bhaag bhi hai ek. Je meri ar us ladke ki muthbhed hui toh jitna tame mere baap ti Shankar ne dia tha utna main bhi us ladke ne dunga, jor ajmaaish ka. Woh jeet gaya toh ... main sab haar jaunga."

"Tu bebe teh pyaar kare hai bhai?", Gollu ab hairaan ho gaya tha kyonki agar kisi ne aisi shart uske dost ke sath rakhi hai toh woh ladki bhi Bijender jitna jaanti thi yar us se jyada he.

"Haan bhai. Babita mera pyaar aur duniya hai. Main Arjun ne koni maarna chahu na he Shankar ne. Mere baap-dada ki ladaai jisme woh khud galat the aur unhane he sab shuru kia tha toh main kis tariya keh diyu ke main sahi karan laag reha hu.? Shankar arr Umed chacha ne he 5 saal ki umar me mere sharir par maati lagai thi akhade ki fer ek saal me sab badal gaya. Madhulata chachi meri maa ki wajah teh Shankar ki na ho paai, mere baap ne Rameshwar ji pe goli chala di, Raghubir tauji ka chhora maar dia aur 15 aadmi jinda jala diye 4 jana ne milke, Rammehar nana ke laadle ne balatkaar ki gawahi ka badla lein ke chakkar me sara satyanash kar dia. Daadi bahot pyaari hai re meri lekin maa ziddi hai ar bebe uski bhi maa hai.", Bijender ne dil he khol ke rakh dia tha Gollu ke saamne.

"Bhai yu toh maine jama bhi konya bera tha. Etna badda ghamasaan ho rakhya hai aur fir Vikas ke gail tera panga kushti toh koni ho sake hai. Jab itni baddi baat tu maaf kar sake hai toh Vikas ki pehalwan selection pe ehsa kadam uthana janche koni.", Gollu ko apne yaar ka dard aaj pata laga tha.

"Woh bhi aapna he hai re. Uspe humla na karta toh woh marr jaata bematlab. Mohar maame ki lugai arr Vikas ki maa behan thi, woh din bithaye baithya tha uska arr hamari harkat ne sabke kaan khade kar diye. Nahi toh mama toh Vikas ne khatam karke apna badla lein main safal ho jata."

"Tu Arjun ne maarega fer?"

"Bhai Gollu, dekhunga ke kitna muqabla kar sake hai lekin Bheem jaan levega uski. Shama maang ke khoon hath pe laga lunga. Fer meri maa apnja raajpat sambhale arr main meri jaan ne leke Jammu. Chaal eb dekha jara ke kuch kar liya inhane. Ek kursi arr rassi bhi rakhwa de aade.", Bijender aage chal dia lekin Gollu jaise khud se baat karne me laga tha. 'Teri kasam bera na bhai sabka ke karwavegi. Woh jaanwar mahare sabke bass teh bahar hai lekin tera dost paache koni hatte. Babita toh teri ho ke rahegai.'

Din ke 11 baj rahe the jab Arjun aur Saroj mausi khane se faarig ho kar kamre ke andar farsh pe dari bichaye lete the. Bahar ghani chaya ke bawjood kuch umas aur garmi badh gai thi aur andar is bade kamre me cement ka saaf farsh thanda bhi tha aur hawadar bhi jaha 2 pankhe chal rahe the. Arjun ko bade pyaar se khana khilaya toh Saroj ji ne aur usne bhi mausi ko waise he apne hatho se tript kia tha, mana karne ke bawjood. Halki fulki masti karte hue dono andar aa gaye the kyonki savere andhere me uthne wale ye log ab araam ki itcha liye the.

"Mausi aap bhi graduate ho fir aapne shaadi aise ghar me kaisi ki?", Arjun sar ke neeche takiya lagaye chatt ko dekh raha tha. Bagal wali dari par leti Saroj mausi karwat karti usko dekhne lagi

"2 baatein hai jinhe tu bhi samajh jara sa. Ek toh meri padhai ki wajah thi teri maa Rekha, aur tere nana ke kehne par he mujhe 10 jamaat ke baad college ki ijajat mili thi. Dusra beta samay aur mahol. Main zamindari wale ghar se hu jaha ladki ke sar pe 12 saal ki umar me dupatta aa jata hai aur fir 16 paar toh shaadi ho jati thi us bakht. Lekin pita ji bhi thoda maan rakhte the tere nana ka toh mujhe unhone padhya aur 22 saal hone par shaadi kar di. Meri chhoti behan bhi mere he sath tere mausa ke chhote bhai se byaah di aur us samay bas zamindari he dekhi jaati thi aur ye log bhi the barabari ke. Pitaji ne jhatt shaadi karwa di."

"Aapse kuch bhi nahi poocha ya salaah li kisi ne? Aur choti mausi bhi sath he?"

"Beta salaah, yaha toh shakal tak na dekhi thi maine inki aur jara soch ke pati aise mile jo saanjhe ghar ki sharam maante 4 mahine baad toh mere kareeb aaye. Chhoti toh tabhi jameen ka bahana bana kar apne pati ke sath idhar gaanv me aa basi. Main badi thi aur shaant rehne wali fir pati toh nira jadd mila. Khud soch jara ke Manju aur Komal me kitna farak hai, jabki shaadi meri pehle hui thi. Aur Manju hai Ritu se kuch badi."

"Fir mausi ab toh maine kisi ko nahi dekha waha ghar pe. Manju ke dada-daadi?"

"Woh beta chal base the. Saas meri bimar rehti thi toh jyada na jee saki aur babuji ka accident ho gaya tha. Ha meri maa 2 saal pehle he puri hui hai aur papa unse ek saal pehle."

"Kitni ajeeb zindagi hai aise toh. Mausa ko aisa toh nahi karna chahiye. Biwi matlab ardhangini, aadha sharir aur uska dhyaan jaruri hai, sabse jaruri. Itne saal aapne fir kaise nikaal diye?"

"Beta teri maa ne bhi nikaal diye bas farak itna hai ke Shankar jija ki majburi thi jo dur rehna padta tha aur mere miya ji toh khalihaan ka bol kar jaane kaha kaha gayab rehte the. Ab bhi toh kuch nahi badla hai. Manju se mujhe kabhi shikayat nahi hui aur usne bhi ghar ke ladke ki tarah sab kia hai. Baap ke laad ke naam par choti moti farmaish poori hoti rahi aur woh utne me he santusht. Lekin Rekha aur teri naani ne himmat di thi ki iske sath woh sab na ho jo maine jhela. Ladki khud ki apni pehchaan banaye, fir jitna kar sakti thi kia lekin aakhir me ye shaadi wali galti ho gai."

"Mausi, dadaji kehte hai ke galat toh kuch hota nahi bas parishtiti aur nirnya hote hai. Haan unhe badla jaa sakta hai agar aap me badalne ki himmat ho. Insaan ka sabse jaruri haq hai uska apne aap ko banaye rakhna aur jiwan ko behtar karne ke liye hamesha khush rehna. Baaki sab chinta hai ya chintan. Dekha kabhi aapne mujhe pareshan, akela ya samjhauta karte hue.?", Arjun ne jaan lia tha ke mausi ka sar sakht farsh par hai. Khud ko waise he rakhte hue usne apni baah unke sar ke neeche rakhte hue unhe thoda araam dia. Woh bhi araam se uske sath waise he leti rahi, karwat Arjun ki aur kiye.

"Sab tere jitne samajhdar nahi hote re. Tu kitno ka khayaal rakhta hai abhi se. Apne dada-dadi se lekar ghar ke har sadasya ka. Bahar bhi tu badalta toh nahi hoga. Heera aur Moti kisi ko aise pas nahi aane dete lekin tu unse bhi ghulmil gaya. Insaan-insaan ki baat hoti hai beta."

"Mausi zindagi me jo aaj hai woh hai, jo kal aayega uske liye tayaar raho lekin bewajah pareshan hona thik nahi. Main kaha khayaal rakhta hu kisi ka. Sab mera he khayaal rakhte hai badle me jo mere bas me hota hai woh main kar deta hu. Bas itna sa he toh hai. Aap bhi toh mera kitna khayaal rakhti ho. Sab chhod-chaad ke itni mehnat sirf mere liye ki. Isliye toh kehta hu ke aap bahot pyaari ho.", Arjun ne jaise he unki taraf dekha toh mausi nirantar bas uske chehre ko he dekh rahi thi lekin karwat lene se dono he ab ek dusre se 6 inch dur the.

"Main bhi badalna chahti hu lekin fir sochti hu toh darr lagta hai kahi apni khushi ke liye ... Aur unki baat khatam hone se pehle he Arjun ne pyaar se unke hontho ka namak chakh lia. Woh palbhar sunn si usko dekhti rahi jo unhe choomne ke baad bhi pyaar se dekhe ja raha tha.

"Sochna kamjor karta hai mausi. Aap majboor nahi hai aapka haq hai mujh par. Aapke nischal prem ke badle main itna toh kar he sakta hu. Woh khaalipan bahot taklif deta hai jiske liye aap khud ko jimmewar maan kar bas zindagi kaat rahi hai. Sabkuch pas hai aapke.", Arjun ne araam se unke baalo me laga clip nikalte hue lambe baal ajaad kar diye.

"Tu sach me bahot pyaara hai re.", Is baar unhone ape naram honth Arjun se joddte hue baahon ke ghere me le lia tha. Unnat bada seena Arjun se dabta jaise saalo se dabe pyaar ki garmi mehsoos karta sakht hone laga tha. Dono ke beech kahi koi jaldbaji na thi aur Arjun bhi barabar pyaar se unke hontho ko mooh me leta hua apni pyaari mausi ko naye ehsaas se bharne laga. Daleep Singh ne toh kabhi bhi hontho ko geela na kia tha lekin Arjun unki jeebh bhi nissankoch apne mooh me bharta hua peeth sehla raha tha. Sudhbudh khoti Saroj jaise apni jawani ka pehla sahi anubhav le rahi thi. Patni toh woh Daleep ki kitne he saalo se thi lekin premika woh aaj bani thi.

"Tu bahut kuch jaanta hai re.", Itni der baad unke mooh se yahi nikla aur woh muskurati hui Arjun par jaise nihal hue ja rahi thi.

"Main toh bacha hu mausi, aapke sath khud-ba-khud ho gaya ye.", Arjun unke tagde sharir ko apne upar le aaya toh woh aur hairaan ho gai.

"Ye kaise kia re ab?"

"Phool si toh aap aur itni dur se atcha bhi nahi lag raha tha.", Arjun ne kamar par dono hath rakhte hue gaal choomne ke sath he kaan me latakti sone ki bali ke chedd par jeebh firai aur mausi andar tak kaamp gai. Jeebh waha se ghumti kaan ki lou par aa ruki jaha Arjun ne hontho se choomte hue unki nangi kamar par apni ungliya khaas tarike se firani shuru kar di.

"Arre beta.. aahh.. tu toh hath laga ke he jaan le raha hai.. aur ye idhar choomne se toh jhurjhuri hone lagi.", Chaati ke dono kinaro par kohniya rakhti woh uske mooh ko idhar udhar jaane se rokne ke liye fir se hotho ko peene lagi. Arjun ke sath woh pehla chumban itna pasand aaya tha ke woh baar baar wahi ehsaas jeena chahti thi. Sirf dheele pajame me leta Arjun bhi unki itcha poori karta hua sath he salwar ke upar se woh 46 ke kulhe bade pyaar se dabata leta raha. Mausi ke kulhe bhi unki tarah bejod he the. Khas fulawat aur lambe tagde sharir ke anusar he vishal gaddedar.

"Mausi sach kahu toh aapki mehnat ne aapka sharir bhi nikhar dia hai. Abhi bhi aap kisi ladki se hajaar guna behtar ho.", Arjun ka ishara woh samajh gai thi aur uski ungliya ka apne naram kulho me dhansna bhi pasand aa raha tha.

"Itni he mehnat ke baad tera pyaar mil raha hai toh main santusht hu. Waise tune abhi mausi ko dekha he kaha hai re. Ab jab tere he hawale hai toh poora dekh le. Sach kahu toh tujhe dekh ke lagta hai ke mere is bade sharir ko tu sambhal sakta hai shayad. Tera poora sharir bhi kitna bada aur sakht hai. Chehre se dhokha ho sakta hai lekin baaki chattan sa hai jo mujh jaisi 2 mann (80) ki aurat ko aise upar litaye hai. Ruk jara.", Woh uthne lagi toh Arjun ne unki kamar thapthapa di.

"Upar he baith ke karo na mausi.", Woh sharmati hui fir peeth pe lagi choti chain neeche karne ke baad kamar se pakad kar apne kameej ko jism se alag karti jald he wapis leit gai. Itni he der me Arjun ne dekh lia tha un pahaad se bade stanno ko jo jara bhi latke na the bas ek khas golai aur wajan se bhaari jarur the. Is umar me bhi nipple matar ke daane jaise aur poora jism saaf chikna. Chaati par dono mulayam motte ubhar dabte he uski bhi aa nikal ai.

"Mausi, aapne toh beti paida ki hai fir bhi ye utne bade nahi hai."

"Itne bade poore gaanv me nahi honge aur tujhe ye chhote lagte hai. Besharam.", Woh waise he upar se nirvastra leti dono ke nirvastra seene ki garmi ka sukh le rahi thi. Arjun har maayne me unki takkar ka tha. 46 ke kulhe toh the he woh chuche bhi ratti bhar na chotte the.

"Mera matlab hai ke aapke nipple. Manju ne doodh toh peeya hoga aur mausa ne bhi toh inhe sukh dia hoga. Lekin ye utne bhi bade nahi hai jitne doodh aane se pehle ek aurat ke ho jaate hai."

"Dhatt. Itni jaldi ye dekh liya tune.? Mujhe doodh nahi utra tha kabhi. Rekha ne pilaya na apni laadli ko aur fir uska peit ni bharta tha toh woh gaaye ka peeti thi. Aaahhh.. araam se daba re. Teri mausi tagdi hai lekin jism 10 saal se achoota hai.", Arjun ne dabav se ludhak kar bahar nikal aaye ek bade gubbare se chuche ko hatheli me lete hue pichkane ki koshish ki toh woh bhi dang reh gaya unhe itna thoss aur bhara hua mehsoos karke.

"Mausi ye toh kore he hai jaise lekin itne bade."

"Tere mausa ne dabaye jarur lekin peeye nahi aur fir khurak aur maalish se jyada he bade ho gaye. aahh.. tu hai jo ummm inhe pyaar kar raha hai. Beshak pati hath nahi lagata lekin sharir maine hamesha dhyaan se rakha hai, is aas se ke kabhi toh sukh milega..", Woh thoda upar hui toh Arjun ne dono hath se ek ubhar ko upar karte hue woh bhoora nipple hontho me daba lia. Mausi khud he aage sarakti uske peit se thoda aage aa gai thi. Arjun ne ab dusre ko bhi anguthe se sehlate hue kada karna shuru kar dia.

"Thik kia mausa ne fir.", Arjun ne shararat se itna kehte he dusre wale ko mooh me bhar lia. Woh sach me tarbuj se he the, hari-neeli nasse aur utne he bade gubbare se lekin thos.

"Aahh.. Chal kuch toh thik kia agar tu kehta hai toh.. umm.. ", Aankhen band kiye woh thoda hanfne si lagi thi. Ye sansani ekdum alag aur tej thi jo sharir me adhik bharne ke baad jaise unke peit se neeche utarti hui jaangho ke beech bhuchal le aai thi. Panje Arjun ke seene par dabati woh reh reh ka jhatke khane lagi thi aur jab nashe se bhari aankhen kholi toh hairaan reh gai.

"aahhh.. ye kya karne laga hai tu beta?", Arjun unki sthool motti jaangho ke beech baitha kuch der tak kamar ke thik neeche us 7-8 inch ke nishaan ko dekhne ke baad naram maans ko failate hue 4 inch lambi aur jism ke anusaar he motti fooli hui band choot ko niharne laga. Choot ke itne motte aur ubhre honth toh kalpana se he pare the. Aur woh mulayam silvate unke naram hone ka sanket thi. Khud ko dheela choddta hua woh jaise he un motte makhmali hontho ko failate hue choot ke andruni hisse par honth dabane laga waise he unke charam ka ras mooh me utar gaya. Diwanwar sa woh apni mausi ke younkund ka poora rass jaise choosne he laga tha. Aur uthne ki koshish karti Saroj mausi ka jism bhi itne adhik maje ki wajah se fir dari par ludhak gaya.

"Mausi, ye toh abhi tak jaise kori hai lekin hain badi meethi aur sundar.", Arjun jaise he unki jaangho ki taraf se unke upar jhukta aaya waise he mausi sharam se dusri taraf mooh karti diwar dekhne lagi.

"Tu kya kya karne laga hai re. Aahh.. Ganda kahi ka."

"Atcha nahi laga kya? Woh toh khush ho rahi thi aur itna jyada he khush thi ki dusri baar mooh geela kar dia.", Dono chuche woh masalta hue jaise unka mooh in steering se ghumane laga.

"Badmash. aah. Koi waha bhi ye sab karta hai kya? Lekin pata nahi kyon atcha laga.", Woh khud Arjun ke pajame ko neeche sarkane ki koshish karne lagi thi.

"Waise bataya nahi ke waha se abhi bhi aap aisi kaise ho?"

"Manju operation se hui the re. Uske baad he wajan badha tha aur woh toh waisi he rahegi jaisi thi. Konsa uske andar hamesha kuch ghusa rehta hai.", Sharam abhi bhi bahot aa rahi thi, shaayad jyada isliye kyonki ke naya jawaan ladka un jaisi tagdi aur umar-daraj ko 2 baar bina he milan kiye jhaad chuka tha.

"Ab jaayega andar fir waisi nahi rehne wali. Aur mujhe toh lagta hai aapko mere liye he bacha kar rakha gaya tha. Baal bhi nahi hai udhar toh.", Arjun thoda khull kar masti kar raha tha.

"Sharir bhari hai na toh baal saaf he rakhne padte hai, waise bhi aate he kitne hai. Aur tu kya andar daalega jis se usme badlaav aa jayega re?", Woh hontho par halke se daant dabati Arjun ko dekhne lagi. Mehsoos toh unhe bhi ho raha tha woh sakht motti lakdi sa danda apne naram peit par.

"Aa pehle ye baandho aankho par.", Arjun ko shararat soojhi aur pajama kholne se pehle he usne mausi ki aankho par unka he dupatta atche se bandh dia. Ek pal woh unke is bhadkau badan ko dekhne laga jo murde ka bhi khada kar de. Fir kamre ki khidki ke pas rakhi teil ki shishi uthata woh khud bhi pajama utaar kar unki jaangho ke pas aa baitha.

"Tu kya khel khelne laga hai re? Sharam aa rahi thi iska matlab ab aankhe he band kar dega?"

"Mausi, ap meri pyaari mausi ho na toh thodi der ke liye bas aise he leti raho.", Arjun ne thanda teil unki motti faanko ke beech dhaar se daalna shuru kia aur dusre hath se atche se utne hisse ki malish karne laga, bade halke dabaav se.

"Aahh.. Mere laadle teri he hai mausi lekin teil kyo laga raha hai? Waha pehele he geelapan bahot hai. aahh lekin tere hatho se bhi atcha lag raha hai re.", Mausi toh khud he paanv failane lagi thi. Kulhe itne motte the ki choot ka upar hissa 8 inch upar tha jameen se aur aage jaha tak cheera ja raha tha uske baad dono kulhe aapas me buri tarah chipke the. Arjun ne waise he unki choot me apni teil se sani ungli dabai toh woh pyaar se andar baithne lagi. Choot ka andar ka hissa bhi puri fulawat liye gelly sa naram tha.

"Umm... Teri toh ungli bhi maja de rahi hai. .aahh.. Mere mooh par bhi kapda bandh de re. Besharam hoti ja rahi hu main"

"Mausi aankhen band isliye ki hai ke mooh khol sako. Ab mehsoos karna kya andar karne wala tha main.", Arjun ne apna supada chikna karne ke baad 2-3 baar unke bhari kulho ke beech fansate hue jaise poora uttejit karna he thik samjha. Usko ye tarika maa ne sikhaya tha aur apne khulho ke beech itna motta garam gola sa mehsoos karte he mausi bhi uttejjana se usko dabati hui baaki kaam kar rahi thi. Aakriti se toh unhe bhi pata chal gaya tha ke woh kyaa cheej hai lekin aakar se khauf paida hone laga tha. Jaise he woh laal dehakta hua lund choot ke saamne aaya toh Arjun ne motti ubhri choot ki lakeer me usko dabate hue upar neeche karke bata dia tha ke mausi ka sochna sahi hai.

"Ye.. ye wahi hai jo main soch rahi hu? Tera kuch alag he hai beta.", Arjun muskurate hue unke upar leitne laga. Naram sharir par jab uska chauda sharir chaa gaya toh ek hath se unki rass bahati muniya ke chotte se chedd par bade desi tamatar sa supada dabaye rakhte hue usne dheemi awaaj me kaha.

"Ab woh badalne wali hai mausi lekin aapka sharir jhel lega. Thoda dard jarur hoga.", Iske sath he unhe kuch bolne dene se pehle he hontho ko kass ke mooh me dabata hua woh apni kamar ek madhyam se dhakke se aage thelta hua unke kandhe ko jameen se lagata ruk gaya. Choot beshak kachi na thi lekin supada jarurat se jyada he bhaynkar tha jisne band gulab ki doddi se chedd ko failate hue khile hue gulaab sa chauda dia tha. Mausi tadfi lekin Arjun ne unhe kaabu kiye rakha. Poora supada aur uske aage ka ek inch hissa andar bhuchal le aaya tha. Ab lund se hath hatata woh bade aram se unka woh baya ubhar masalta hua bhoore nipple ko sehla raha tha.

"Ye kya kar dia beta.. aahhh.. maa.. bhains ka khoota toh nahi baad dia re andar...", Hontho alag karte hue unhe saanse khulkar saans lene deta woh ab kandhe par rakha hath unke chehre par fira raha tha. Jaha dard aur paseena chaya tha.

"Mausi, agar aisa na karta toh ye andar na le paati. Bas thodi der baad aap khud sath dene lagogi.", Arjun ko aasha thi ki unki motti choot thodi he der me sab sehan kar legi aur fir kakh ka sahara leta woh dono ubhre nipple choosta hua utne he lund se chudai karne laga.

"aahh.. dukhta hai re.. jaise choot he bahar aa rahi ho iske sath.. umm.. Thoda pyaar se kar na.", Dheemi gati se bhi choot me jalan ho rahi thi jiski badi wajah nichli kinari se tapakta khoon tha. Choot ka maans thoda bahar aata aur fir andar chala jata lekin jald he teil aur chootras ke mishran ki wajah se woh bhains ka khoota aadhe ke lagbhag andar utarne laga tha. Chuche fir se phool kar kasne lage aur ab dard ki awaaj me halka khuamaar aane laga tha.

"Mausi sach me aap na bilkul band jaisi he ho. Aah.. mera bhi ye jaise taise he andar ja raha hai.", Arjun ko jab mushkil hone lagi toh mausi ne khud ghutne upar karte hue usko rasta dia. Beshak dard tha lekin woh jaanti thi ki aaj poora mard mila hai jo us se pyaar bhi kar raha hai aur dhyaan bhi rakh raha hai.

"Ummm.. Arjun.. aah.. itne se he kar re. Pata nahi aur le bhi sakegi ya nahi. ummmmaaahh.. thoda kass ke masal bobbe.", Ab woh thoda khulkar bolne lagi aur Arjun bhi naram jaangho ke beech har baar thoda aage sarakta 7 inch andar ghusaye choot ka roop badalne me laga tha. Honth choosta woh dono gubbare upar se niche tak masalta mausi ko woh sukh de raha tha jis se poori tarah anjaan thi. Unke Pati toh bas salwar kholi, andar dala aur kameej ke upar se he chuche masal kar andar khali ho gaye wala karyakram he jaante the lekin Arjun kaamkala me mausi ko naye he aasman me le aaya tha.

"Mausi ummm.. aapko atcha lag raha hai na ab.?", Chiknai aur sharir ke itne gadraye hone ki wajah se ab lund kuch araam se 5-6 inch tak andar bahar hone laga tha. Andar ki diwar se ragadta woh apne sath he choot ki safed bahar jama karta mausi ko fir se sakhalan par le aaya.

"Aaahhhh.. maa... Arjun.. ab bahut tej kuch nikalne wala hai..aahhh..", Aur sachmuch is baar jaise barsaat si hone lagi thi andar. Kaamras ka chiddra jaise poora aaj he khula tha aur itni maatra me kisi ko jhadte Arjun ne dusri baar dekha tha lekin ye fir bhi kahi jyada he tha. Lund bahar kheenchte he 'pukk' ki awaaj hui aur halke dard ke baad sharir shaant ho gaya tha mausi ka. Angoche se apna lund aur choot ko saaf karte hue usne kapda geela karke aur behtar tarike se sab nishaan saaf kiye. 10 saal se band woh gulabi patte ab choot ka mooh khole fir se bahar jhaank rahe the. Rangheen taral reh reh kar boond ke roop me bahar nikal raha tha. Arjun ne fir se thoda teil supade par lagane ke baad mausi ko karwat ke bal kar lia aur khud saamne aa kar woh bhari patt apni taang par rakhta thode kam dabaav se he firse unki naram sankari choot me lund bharta lipat gaya. Dupatta ab khol kar ek taraf rakh dia tha.

"Siiii.. aahhh. Itni ummeed na thi re.. aahh.. peit tak lagta hai aise karne se aur tera ye hai kitna bada? Maa...", Arjun unka ek vishaal kulha dabata neeche se dono ke kamar chipkayae araam se poora andar karke and chote lekin gehre dhakke de raha tha.

"Mausi ummm.. Sach kahu toh aapse pehle bhi main humbister hua hu.. aahh.. Lekin woh ladki sundar bahot thi par aapka mukabla woh sapne bhi nahi kar sakti.", Arjun ki aisi baat sunn kar mausi bhi sharamti siskati uske gale lag gai. Upar wale hath ko ab woh kulho ki darar me daba raha tha lekin aadhi ungliya darar me dhansne ke bawjood woh unke chedd se dur he raha. Waha ki narmahat aur chiknapan Arjun ko aur uttejjit kar raha tha. Lund jald he fatne ki haalat me aane laga jo Arjun ke liye thoda hairani ki baat thi. Woh milan ko aadhe ghante tak leke ja skta tha lekin itne kasaav aur geelepan me mausi ka bhaaripan bhi uske lund ko dabochta hua manjil par le jane laga tha.

"Ummm.. Beta .. aahhh. 10 saal band rehne se toh nadi bhi bhar jaati hai ye toh chotti si choot hai. aah.. lekin tu mmmm.. ssiii. tu pyaar karna bade atche se jaanta hai.. Main itni jaldi fir se aane lagi hu.. aahh.."

"Mausi dheela chhodo..aahh.. Mera..

"Andar he bhar de re.", Woh jaise kaampi thi unki pakad me Arjun bhi hill na saka aur sharir ki saari taqat jaise lund se nikalti mausi ke andar bahrne lagi thi. Sharir uska bhi reh reh kar jhatke kha raha tha. 5 minute tak dono he achet se ek dusre se lipte rahe aur Saroj ko aisa lag raha tha jaise kisi ne choot me garam pani ka nall khol dia ho. Safed ras me lithda woh atyadhik motta ling bahar nikalte he veerya ka dher dari par jamne laga.

"Hey raam.. Tu ghoda hai jo itna paani nikalta hai.?", Lekin Arjun shaant leta muskurata raha. Saroj bhi uthne ki asafal koshish karne ke baad Arjun ke seene par ludhak gai. Aankhen band kiye bhi woh unke gaddedar chucho ko sehlane laga.

"Oh besharam. Tu abhi toh tabahi macha ke ruka hai ab fir se inhe masalne laga. Aah.. sach me re tune kya haal kia hai meri dulari ka...", Unhe bhi Arjun ka sehlana pasand aa raha tha lekin woh sharmili aurat ek baar ki chudaai se he uska mooh me toh lene nahi wali thi.

"Oh mausi, aapke sath toh main har ghante baad karne ko tayaar hu. Pata hai pehli baar aisa laga hai jaise mere sharir se sara rass nichod lia gaya ho. Lekin fir bhi dil kehta hai ke rukna nahi hai.", Arjun ki baat sunkar khud mausi ne apna gaal uske hontho par rakh dia.

"Pata hai tu mera hamesha se chaheta raha hai. Rekha bolti thi ki Manju uski beti hai aur main hamesha usko ek taraf rakhke tujhe apne se laga leti thi. Aur kuch samay ke liye dono dur bhi ho gai thi jab tu ghar se bahar ho gaya tha."

"Mausi, mujhe pata hai aap hamesha mujhe Manju se dur rakhti thi aur sara pyaar mujhpe lutati thi. Kaise bhool sakta hu ke Manju ko aapne thappad maar kar uski kiss-miss mujhe de di thi. Bahot roi thi woh lekin baad me mujhse boli thi ki woh mere liye he leke aai thi lekin maa ne chinn ke de di thi. Aapko lagta hai ke main kuch bhool sakta hu? Woh ghar aapne baad me pakka kia hai, pehle waha samne aangan hota tha aur peeche kamre. Sath wala bhi hissa aapke pas tha jaha ab peela makan hai.", Arjun waise he leta ab bade pyaar se mausi ke baal aur sar sehla raha tha.

"Tujhe yaad hai ye sab?"

"Mujhe toh ye bhi yaad hai mausi ke aap us waqt hamare ghar aane ke baad kaise dupatta utaar kar rakh deti thi. Jaise bojh liye firti ho."

"Aur Manju?", Ab in 2 shabdo ne Arjun ke dil me hulchal macha di thi. Woh aankhen band kiye bas khamosh ho gaya tha.

"Tu Manju ki taraf khud he khincha aaya ya woh aai thi?

"Uska gussa waisa he hai. Ungli dikhate hue woh bolti gusse me hai lekin pata hai woh aisa tab karti hai jab usko woh pasand ho. Main jara der se samjha tha."

"Aur woh tere naam ka sindoor lagaye he fero se pehle he byaah kar chuki thi.", Bomb fodd dia tha mausi ne jaise ye baat kehke.

"Ye kaise hua? Aapne khud dekha ye sab?"

"Shaant reh mere bete. Woh jisne dekha tha wo Rekha thi. Lekin us se pehle mai tum dono ka pyaar sunn chuki hu, upar wale kamre me. Rekha ne kaha bhi tha ke ye dono barbaad na kar de sabkuch kyonki woh tujhse pyaar karti hai aur tu uska hamesha se ladla raha hai."

"Mausi maa ko pata hai ye sab?", Arjun ke paseene jaha se aa rahe the waha najara nahi ja sakti thi.

"Woh pata hai kaun hai? Jisne tunjhe dhadkan di hai. Ek tu he hai jiski wajah se Rekha khush hai aur ab tu usko wapis khushiyan dene laga hai. Ghar aayega toh dikhaungi ke woh khud ye sindoor wali baat kehne ke baad teri photo de kar gai thi. Aur hum dono ke sapne utne poore nahi bhi hue lein tera aur Manju ka pyaar bahot hai beta."

"Mausi woh meri patni hai aur aapke hone wali naati-natin ki maa. Pehli baar toh dil nahi pehchana tha lekin hum dono is jagah he the jab milan hua tha. Manju khud dil me aise utar gai thi ki main pachta raha tha."

"Woh tu matt he keh beta. Sambhal lia jayega sab aur main janti hu Preeti tera adhikaar hai, pyaar hai aur zindagi. Lekin Manju ki jitne naseeb me ho utna saath nibhana beta."

"Mausi, vaada karta hu ki Manju hamesha suhagan rahegi. Baaki jo ho na ho. Woh dur rahe ya kareeb lekin aaj aapse bhagwan ko sakshi maan kar kehta hu ki Manju par mera adhikar rahega. Rameshwar ji ki pratigya aur mera unko dia vachan bhi rukawat bana toh Arjun mitt jayega lekin Manju hamesha apne sthaan par rahegi.", Arjun itna keh he raha tha ke mausi ne uske hontho par ungli rakh di.

"Woh maayne nahi rakhta Arjun, tumhe bas us ghar ko surakshit rakhna hai. Manju ki zindagi woh khud he sanwaar sakti hai lekin ghar par lage grahan ko tumhe hatana hoga. Rekha kehti hai ke uska Arjun sabkuch kar sakta hai, tum yahi mere pas aa kar apni maa ko sarthak karna. Main samajh lungi ki meri beti hamesha suhagan rahegi aur mujhpar tumhara adhikar aisa he rahega. Main khud tumhe us vachan se mukt karti hu. Yaad rakhna ke tumhare dadaji he sabkuch hai.", Mausi is wakt apna dard bhoolti hui uth kar khadi ho gai thi.

"Ab mausi ko bhi pyaar karne lage ho toh sath toh chalo jara.", Arjun unhe niharta hua uth gaya.

"Waise mausi, Manju aap par he gai hai."

"Haan pata hai.Shayad mere se bhi khas hai jo meri beti hone ke bawjood tera jhel bhi gai aur nautanki bhi barkaraar rakhi usne. Aur tune baad me kuch kiya kya uske sath?", Mausi ab kamre ke bahar khadi thi uska sahara liye.

"Woh kehti hai ke mere bache ki he maa bann na hai usko."

"Jitna tu nikaal raha hai toh mujhe khud darr lag raha hai ke kahi tu maa aur beti dono he na peit se kar de.", Arjun hansta hua unhe utha kar haudi me ghus gaya. Pal bhar ke liye paani bahar uchla aur fir dono ek dusre se lipte sab bhool kar ek dusre me ko choomne lage.

"Tu bas wahi kar jo tu chahta hai. Sab jhanjhat ke baad main khud kehti hu ki jo tu chahega wahi hoga. Bas laksya matt bhool.", Mausi ne us thande paani me he uska ling pakad kar apne chedd par rakhte hue aanken band kar li. Sarr se woh bhayankar naag apni pasand ki jagah baith gaya tha
.
.
Gollu kamar me chhura rakhe Arjun ke aane ki pratiksha kar raha tha jo ghante bhar pehle andar gaya tha. Dosti ka karz adaa karne ka waqt aa gaya tha.

Update 95
Daav-Pench

Arjun hamesha ki tarah shaant tha jab ghar pahucha. Abhi sadhe 6 baj rahe the aur poora he din uska uthal puthal bhara raha tha. Aacharya ji, fir mausi ke sath woh khas samay bitana aur dhai baje ghar aane ke baad fir se Muskaan se milne ke liye jana. Stadium me bhi thoda adhik samay lag gaya tha lekin itni bhaag-daud ke bawjood na jism me thakaan thi na chehre par koi tanaav.

"Haan toh Arjun Shamra ji, agar aapko atcha lage toh kripya is bagiche me bhi thoda paani de do bhai. Garmiya hone lagi hai toh inhe pe jarurat hoti hogi.", Rameshwar ji chir-parichit awaaj dete hue usko dhyaan dilane lage ki aur bhi kaam hai uske jimme. Woh bhi tshirt kursi par rakhne ke baad joote kholkar bagiche me aa gaya. Col sahab ab uth kar chal diye the.

"Toh dada ji fir kal aap #### shehar ja rahe ho aur baaki sab bhi ja he rahe hai aapke sath."

"Beta ji kabhi kabhi jana jaruri hota hai. Waise toh main ghar se nikalta he kaha hu?"

"Woh toh sahi baat hai lekin bina kaam toh aap kahi jaate bhi nahi ho. Waise gaadi leke kaun jayega? Aap toh ab gaadi chalte nahi jitna yaad hai aur bhaiya idhar hai nahi.", Arjun paani ki pipe bade hisse me rakhta hua khurpi se thodi bahot gudaai karke sakht jagah ko naram kar raha tha. Rameshwar ji bhi ab uski bagal me aa baithe the jaisa khas mauke par he hota tha.

"Sanjiv ko kaam dia hai aur Bittu ka driver leke jayega sabko. Ye dekh jara idhar, lagta hai na hara patta hai lekin keeda hai. Chalava jo sabme se ek lagta hai lekin hota bilkul viprit. Ye patte he iska bhojan bann jate hai.", Arjun ke samne he unhone woh vilakshan bada sa keeda patte se uthate hue dikhaya. Arjun ne bhi unke hath se woh pakadne ke baad aadhye khaye patte par najar daali. Jaha pehle woh poora patta dikh raha tha.

"Ye keeda agar rang na badal kar waise he peit bharta toh main isko kuch na kehta lekin ab ye nahi rahega idhar.", Arjun uski tinke si taag pakad kar bade gor se dekh raha tha.

"Toh kya karega iske sath tu.?"

"Ye ab baithega naagfani (Cactus) par. Badal bache bhesh tu ab aur khaa isko.", Rameshwar ji hansne lage apne paute ki harkat par.

"Mujhe laga tu isko maar dega."

"Dadaji main aisa kuch nahi karta aur thodi der me isko amrood ke peid par rakh dunga. Ye prakriti ka hissa hai aur main inke beech nahi aana chahta. Haan koi dusra keeda isko kha jaye toh fir iski kismat.", Rameshwar ji uske hath se khurpi le kar mitti ke chhote dalle dabate hue maheen karne lage.

"Tu sahi kar raha hai lekin thoda bahot dhyaan mitti par bhi dena chahiye, kai baar woh sirf paani se nahi galti. Thukaai karni padti hai aur tab tak jab tak woh baaki mitti me mil na jaye.", Arjun muskura raha tha aur fir pipe thoda dusri taraf khiska kar apne dada ji se kehne laga.

"Aap mitti barabar karne ki baat karte ho, jara idhar dekho aap. Maine toh mitti me khaad bhi aise mila di hai ke pata nahi chalta. Haan ab woh fal-fool atche degi.", Papite ke 2 paudhe jameen atche se pakad chuke the jine Arjun ne kuch din pehle he lagaya tha.

"Yahi ummeed karta hu beta ke tu yaha sabko atche se jagah de unki. Har kism alag hai aur unka rehan-sehan bhi. Kharpatwar tera dada atche se saaf kar leta hai toh tu baaki sab sambhal.", Rameshwar ji ne bhi halke hath se un paudho ka jayeja lia toh woh bilkul sahi the. Unhe tassali hui toh woh baaki hisse bhi dekhne lage aur Arjun unse baatein karta hua sahi se paani dene laga. Aadha ghanta hua hoga ke ye awaaj dono ke chehre par hansi le aai.

"Bister wahi laga du dono ka? Ghante bhar se mitti me mitti ho rahe hai aur baatein pata nahi kaisi ke kuch palle nahi padti. Ab aap andar chalo ji hath paanv dho ke aur tu seedha gusalkhaane me ja, bailbuddhi.", Kaushalya ji jaise kuch samay se khadi thi aur fir halka andhera hone laga toh dono ko alag kia.

"Bhaagwan kal ghar nahi hounga toh isko samjha raha tha ke jimmewar rahe aur ghar ka dhyaan rakhe.", Muskurate hue Rameshwar ji paani ki pipe se he paanv saaf karte hue aangan me aaye toh apni dharampatni ji se toliya lete hue khud ko saaf karke andar chal diye. Arjun abhi bhi bagiche me he tha aur Preeti ko apni taraf aate dekh prasann ho gaya.

"Aajkal toh maano (billi) hath nahi lag rahi. Waise is samay darshan kaise de diye?"

"Oh mister bano mat. Aati hu leki tum he nahi dikhte. Waise aai toh Ritu didi se he milne thi tumhe dekha toh socha shakal dikha du. Stadium me aise ghoor rahe the jaise mere sath waha koi aur tha he nahi."

"Dil kar raha tha toh dekh lia. Waise bhi ab tumhare yaha aane me darr lagne laga hai."

"Haan abhi aana bhi matt. Viky pagal ho rahi hai tumse milne ke liye aur mummy ke samne kuch ulta seedha ho gaya toh tum bach bhi jaoge lekin main aur woh nahi."

"Arre mummy jyada khatarnaak hai tumhari. Viky ko toh main najdeek nahi lagne dunga lekin ab unse darr lagne laga hai.", Arjun apna nagna chitra yaad kar raha tha.

"Aisa kyo ho bachu jo tum ab unse darrne lage ho? Woh toh tumhe bahot yaad karti hai aur keh rahi thi ki fir se tumhare sath photo ke liye jaane wali hai.",Preeti ko ab woh kaise samjhata.

"Haan dekhenge lekin ye batao tum aise jeans-shirt me tayaar ho is waqt?", Arjun ne baat he palat di.

"Chandigarh ja rahi hu daadu ke sath. Woh maami ko leke aana hai na. Lekin pehle ye batao ke mummy se kis baat ka darr lagne laga hai.?", Preeti jaise ab peecha nahi chhodne wali thi.

"Unki drawing dekhna aur fir batana. Baaki ab ye sab chhodo aur batao ke wapis kab aana hai?"

"Kal shaam tak. Viky ne kal hostel jana tha lekin ab woh bhi ek din baad he jayegi. Fir milenge hum.", Aankh maar kar woh hansti hui bhaag gai, Arjun ko hairaan karti hui.

'Ye ladki bhi na. Pata nai kya kya chalta rehta hai iske dimag me. Shararti maano.'
.
.
"Babita, tera bhai kar aaya ri sab kaam? Arr thodi der us daayan pe bhi najar raakh le, jyada khaali chhodna bhi thik koni usne. Bahot tej lomdi hai.", Sushila Singh haveli ke is pichle kamre me aa khadi hui. Naram bister par pasri Babita bhi hatti-katti maansal mahila thi, 32 varsh ki ladki kehna tha kadachit galat he hoga. Apni maa ki baat sunn kar woh seedhi hone lagi toh uske motte ubhar hilte hue bahot kuch bata gaye the. Kameej ke upar se he 2 button se ubhre nipple ka matlab tha ke Babita me itni garmi thi ke woh patle kameej ke neeche bra bhi nahi pehne thi.

"Us raand pe jitni najar rakhwa le maa waa ke karegi bera koni laage. Tu kahve hai toh main bhi ghadi do ghadi dekh liyu hu.", Woh uthkar khadi he hui thi apni baat kehte hue ke Sushila ne tok dia.

"Thodi saram kare kar tu. Jhotti se bhains ho chuki hai lekin latta-kapda ebbi tak pehanan ka hosh koni. Nyu ughaadi bahar niklegi? Maan lia ke ghar utne marad koni lekin tera mama toh hai. Aur Bijender bhi aa sake hai.", Sushila gussa toh kar rahi thi lekin awaaj me waisa dum nahi tha jaisa auro ke saamne rehta tha. Wajah bhi saaf thi. Babita apni maa ko he aankhen dikhati hui kameej khol kar ek taraf rakhti hui bister par bra dhundne lagi. 2-2 kilo ke bade maansal chuche nirvastra jhool rahe the uske bister par jhukne se. Chaadar ke neeche se woh bade aakar ka apne kabutaro ka pinjra uthati unpar bandhne lagi.

"Mama ki majal koni jo aankh tha ke dekh le arr rahi baat Bijender ki toh woh itne syaami konni aave jitne apni kahi baat poori na karde. Arr itni he fikar say is bhains ki toh pehla un sabne khatam karke mere khatir bhi koi Jhotta dekh leti. Is baar agar kimme na hoya ne toh fer main teri aakhya ke saami he koi jhotta upar chadwa liyungi.", Babita kaisi thi woh Sushila ka bhi pata tha. Gussa aur khari-khoti baat dhaddale se woh bina dekhe keh deti thi.

"Fer nyu kariye ke Shankar ka chhora he chadhwa liye tu. Kalankni kade seedhi baat toh kahve koni arr jitni bhundi baat bulwa lo. Itna he kahu thi ke kapde thik pehan le. Lekin mooh me jo aave hai waa bakk degi. Maa su teri arr fikar manne bhi hai.", Sushila apni baat se he palat gai.

"Tu ghaat koni maa. Aag laga ke paache hatt je hai tu bhi. Mere kamre me main ughadi rahu ya na, koi kimme ni keh sakta. Manne bhains batave thi thodi der pehla. Soch ke bolle kar nahi dimag mint me khisak je hai mera.", Babita thodi shaant hogai thi ab aur firse kameej pehan ne lagi toh woh chaati par kahi jyada he kasta hua neeche jaane se rukne laga tha.

"Dekh beti samajh saku hu teri haalat. Galti meri bhi hai lekin ek din ki baat hai fer tu bhi aapni aag thandi kar liye.", Uska kameej sahi karti Sushila ko bhi thoda jor lagana pada. Apne hath se he beti ke ubhar dabane ke baad he woh sahi ho paya.

"Jo marji ho kaal. Bijender usne maare ya woh Bijender ne lekin main muhurat karwa ke he rahungi. Shankar ka chhora bhi ghaat na lagta.", Babita darwaje ke pas rukk kar apne peeche khadi maa se boli toh Sushila mooh banati si usko dekhne lagi fir muskura di.

"Barbaad he hona hai toh fer poora he hovange. Wo chhor ek toh bache koni arr bach gaya toh baaki koi na bachta. Karwa liye tu bhi apni ribbon kataai fer.", Sushila ke sath he woh bhi hansti hui fir haveli ke agle hisse ki taraf badh chali lekin ab Sushila ke maathe par halke bal padd gaye the.

'Teri aag bhi thandi hovegi lekin mere hisab te.'

"Haan toh bebe kade dimag laga rahi hai tu?", Babita ab Shabnam ke pas kursi par baithi thi. Shabnam bhi shayad ghar ki he kisi ladki ke dheele salwar kameej me bister par bathi kuch karne me vyast thi.

"Babita didi, apna dimag toh filhal rest pe hai. Kal dekhenge kya hota hai fir agla kaam bhi karna hai.", Shabnam woh kagaj modd kar diary ke andar rakhne ke baad bister se tek lagati Babita ko dekhne lagi.

"Matlab buddhiya ki chitaa banaye baithi hai tu. Badhiya baat hai. Arr nyu bata chhutki (Muskaan) kyu bidak gai.?"

"Didi, insaan sirf tabhi hath se nikalta hai jab woh dushman se ishq kar baithe. Lekin us bewkoof ne jo kia hai woh bhugatna toh padega he. Woh ladka toh waise bhi kal marne wala hai aur raha saha ab woh akeli bhi ho gai aur kamjor bhi.", Shabnam ke chehre ki khushi dekhti Babita ko ye atcha na laga tha lekin woh shaant he rahi.

"Chhore ki photu tu dikha jara Shabnam. Ke heere jade hai usme jo Muskaan jisi shatir bhi dil haar gai uspe, main bhi dekhu.", Babita ne bister ke pas rakhi photo dekh li thi lekin yaha se sahi tarah pata nahi chal raha tha kuch. Shabnam ne waise he muskurate hue 2 photo saamne badha di.

"Dekh lo didi aap bhi dekh lo. Ye dushman ab kuch ghanto ka mehmaan he hai.", Babita ne pehle chehra dekha jisko woh dekh kar jaise kho he gai thi. Fir uski poori tasvir dekhte he usne Shabnam ki aur najar ki.

"Chhora kasoota hai bebe arr maine yu pehle bhi dekhaya hoya hai lekin najar bhar.", Babita fir se Arjun ki tasvir dekhne lagi.

"Aapne isko kaha dekh lia didi?"

"Main doctor ne checkup karaan gai thi shehar arr yu ladka ek lugai ke sath gol-gappe kha ke likdya tha market me. Main bagal me khadi thi arr sach kahu toh photo bhi utna na dikhata jitna gajab yu asli main say.", Babita ne woh 3x4 ki uske chehre wali photo apni bra me daal li.

"Gazab kar rahi ho aap toh. Ye bhi jaanti ho ke woh hamara dushman hai? Waise aapne iske sath toh nahi dekha tha kahi?", Hairaan Shabnam diary ke peeche se ek thodi badi tasvir Babita ko dikhane lagi.

"Yu Menaka hai bawli, Bheem ki bebe. Naa ya koni thi lekin tere dhore uski photu kis tariya aai?"

"Oh toh ye hai Menaka. Waise ye photo Bijender ne di thi mujhe ki is ladki ko uthana hai Arjun ko dabochne ke liye. Menaka jab aakhiri baar dekhi thi tab main 3 saal ki thi aur Bheem ke ghar toh main abhi tak gai he nahi jo mujhe kuch pata hota. Bheem se bhi baat hui thi waise.", Shabnam jo bhi keh rahi thi Babita sunn kar bhi tasvir ghoore ja rahi thi.

"Bheem maa chudaye apni lekin ya raand us chhore ke gail hai? Tanne sahi khabar toh hai na? Kyunki jo manne dekhi woh bhi ghani suthri thi lekin thodi dubli. Fer woh iske gail chakkar chalaye hai toh chhora halka koni Shabnam. Ek pate ki baat bata diyu kise syaane ne kahi thi. "Jo chhora badi lugai ka yaar hove hai us jitna khatarnaak koi na hota.'", Babita ko shayad kuch dikkat bhi thi Menaka se aur ab uska Arjun ke sath sambandh pata lagne par woh gussa bhi thi aur dimaag bhi laga rahi thi.

"Matlab jisko aapne dekha woh uski premika jaisi thi?"

"100 pratishat. Meri umar ki hovegi ya thodi badi. Shehar ki lugaiya ka bera koni chaalta na bebe."

"Bada he shaatir hai jo 2-2 liye fir raha hai woh bhi dono apne se kahi jyada badi. Upar se Muskaan jaisi jaane kitni hongi aur.", Shabnam ki baat ka jaise khaas asar na hua tha Babita par aur ye sadharan sharir ki gori yuvti bister par 2 thali khaane ki rakh kar chupchap bahar chali gai.

"Ae Akshara, andar aa jara.", Awaaj me bilkul gussa na tha Babita ki jo uske swabhav se alag tha.

"Ji didi.", Sawa 5 feet ke lagbhag aur behad khoobsurat chehre ke sath he woh thodi masoom se thi. Sharir me jyada maans na tha lekin saleeke se salwar kameej aur gale me dupatta liye woh Babita ke saamne sar jhukaye khadi thi.

"Dekh tera chhota bhai.", Arjun ki dusri tasvir usko pakdati hui woh hav-bhav dekhne lagi.

"Mera bhai nahi hai ye. Sirf Bijender bhaiya he mere bhai hai aur koi nahi.", Dheemi awaaj me he spaat sa jawaab deti woh wapis photo pakdane ke baad khadi rahi.

"Atchi baat hai. Chaal ek kaa kar de mera. Samaan pakda ja aur ek plate de diye dhakan khatir."

"Ji", itna kehti woh bahar nikal gai.

"Konsa samaan? Aur aap ye kyo keh rahi thi ki Arjun uska bhai hai.?", Shabnam ne hairaan hote hue poocha.

"Whiskey. Aur Shankar ne maami peit se ki thi jab mama jail me tha. Donu chhoriya uski he hai lekin khaas baat yu hai ke bahot bholi aur samajhdar hai donu. Mere se bahot pyaar hai inka aur Bijender bhi dil se kare hai inki khatir. Le eb dekh Arjun ka thobda aur photu wapis kar diye.", Shabnam ne woh tasvir pakdi jo Babita ne bra se nikal kar uski aur ki thi. Waisi he bhoori aankhen aur idhar Akshara toliye me lapte woh bottle, thaali aur namkeen ke sath paani ki bottle jaise taise andar lekar aai toh Shabnam ne pas bitha lia. Ek baar poore chehre ko dhyaan se dekhne ke baad woh chupp he rahi. Akshara bhi sab samaan lagane ke baad darwaja band karti chali gai.

"Peeyegi?"

"Bana do didi. Ab toh hajam karna he thik hai. Sala ye Shankar kitne khaate khole baitha hai."

"Jabaan sambhal ke bebe. Sala koni woh. Dushman hai lekin pehle kaka bhi laage hai mera. Aur bura na maanio meri baat ka.", Babita ne bhi araam se he kaha tha lekin Shabnam dekh rhai thi ki Babita sanjida thi is baat par.

"Sorry. Mooh se nikal gaya. Woh bombay me thodi jubaan kharaab ho he gai. Mera chhota he rakhna.", Gilaso me ek chauthai sharab daalne ke baad Babita ne muskurate hue unhe paani se bhara aur ek gilas Shabnam ko thama dia.

"Koi baat na. Aur sharaab barabar piye kare hai bebe. Toh ho gaya yakeen ke inka LDA karwaun?"

"DNA hota hai didi lekin uski jarurat nahi hai. Waise sach kahu toh dimag ko jarurat bahot thi is sharaab ki. 3 din se bhari hai sabkuch."

"Tera bharipana tu kaad le hai kise na kise tarah. Gaand aur chuche nyu he na hilte tere left-right aade bas ya sharaab aur apna kamara he sahara se.", Shabnam ko halka sa jhatka laga tha Babita ki baat sunnkar jo muskurati hui aadha gilas khali karke ab chammach se namkeen kha rahi thi.

"Aapka matlab didi?"

"Janeman jo tere ubhaar se yu bahot kuch batla de hai tere baare me. Videsh rahi hai, fer film-nagri toh yaar toh chokhe banaye honge. Aade toh bheetar ungli na gai aaj tak lekin sasure dekh pahad se upar aur utne he paache hai.", Apne seene aur kulho ki taraf dhyaan dilati woh hansne lagi thi.

"Main pyaar-vyaar me nahi padti didi lekin aapki baat bhi sach hai. Aag badh jaati hai toh main khud ko nahi rokti. England me toh 2 the jo kaam chala dete the, fir yaha bhi ek mila lekin sala shaheed ho gaya kal. Lekin sach kahu toh mera jism aapke samne kuch bhi nahi hai. Koi habshi (Negro) he aise sharir ko tript kar sakta hai, mera toh chhote motte se kaam ho jata hai.", Shabnam is mudde par thoda khulkar bolne lagi thi. Gilas dono ke khatam hue toh Babita ne fir se bana diye.

"Humne toh koi hubshi na milna aur je koi hovega toh woh maame barge ki gaand maar sake hai lekin meri chadhai toh sapne me na kar sakta. Haan je kismat me likhya hoya toh jhotta aade bhi mil je ga is desi khatir.", Babita ko thodi garmi lagne lagi thi lekin usko maja aa raha tha. Waisa he haal Shabnam ka tha jisko shayad AC ki he aadat thi aur chhote kapdo ki.

"Didi, darwaja band kar do yar.", Babita uthti hui chitakni laga kar wapis baith gai. Saamne Shabnam ko sirf bra me dekh kar woh muskura rahi thi.

"Sach bolu toh thokku toh tanne bhi na mila koi badhiya. Asli mard toh sharir badha ke chamka deve hai. Waise badan tera bhi mada konya."

"Didi, zindagi me sukoon ho toh dhyaan du kahi. Ye behanchod pasand aaya tha lekin sala ek toh umar me chhota aur dusra ye galat jagah paida ho gaya.", Shabnam halke suroor me thi dedh gilas peene ke baad. 4 gilas banane me he Babita ne ek chauthai se thodi jyada bottle khali kar di thi aur Shabnam jaise uske mukable ki nahi thi.

"Yu khaagad manne bhi pasand hai ri. Photu chuche pe lagake bhi sukoon deve hai lekin tere wali baat mere gail hai. Marega toh naseeb me aan se raha. Lekin sharat laga ke keh saku ke yu Shankar se bhi bada khiladi hoga. Bata 2-2 lugai itti si umar me sambhal ke chaale hai toh iska yu matlab he hoya ke koi chhori iska jhel na sakti."

"Hmmm. Correct. Pakka yahi wajah hogi. Waise kya lagta hai Menaka iske sath us hadd tak gai hogi?"

"Dekh bebe, daaru sath pee hai toh baat dil ki kahungi. Bheem ar Sheela devi ka purana chakkar hai. Bheem hai tagda aur jawani barkraar hai uski. Sheela ho gai dheeli arr Bheem ki lugai uska bister me sath na deti. Menaka ke vidhwa hoye paache woh chahve hai usne apni rakhail banana kyunki Bheem ne shart rakhi thi maa ke sath ke Arjun ne woh is liye he maaran me sath devega agar maa Menaka us se chudwa de, balatkar koni karna. Maa ne fer ek teer 2 nishane wala yu plan bana dia. Arjun ke khatir Menaka chudegi lekin agar Arjun ki hatya ka iljaam aaya toh woh Bheem kabool karega. Kagaz likhwa chuki hai maa.", Shabnam ek ghoont me baaki sharaab khatam karti hui gehri saans lene lagi.

"Sheela Bheem ki maa hai? Aur ab woh Menaka ke sath ye karna chahta hai? Apni sagi behan ke sath. Behnchod ye aadmi haivaan hai kya?"

"Chahat hai uski, nahi toh choot ki kami koni uske dhore. Harqat mere sath bhi karna chahve tha woh lekin lund pakad ke marod dia tha uska galti karan te pehla. Khair aadmi thik hai woh. Ar uski maa khud chudegi toh har taraf woh choot he bhalega. Dil kare toh garmi likadwa liye tu bhi, araam se jhel legi tu kheli khai hai.", Ye gilas banane ke sath he Babita ne bottle dabbe me wapis band kar di matlab ye aakhiri peg the.

"Didi tumhara dil nahi karta karne ka ye sab?", Alag he aag lagne lagi thi Shabnam ke sharir me ab.

"Bijender lattu hai mere pe aur tayaar bhi shaadi khatir. Manne bhi keh rakhya hai ke Arjun ne maar ke maang bhar diye main sath chaal padungi jaha kahega."

"Aap apne bhai ke sath he?"

"Arre bawli woh pyaar kare hai main koni. Woh jitna marji tagda ho ya janwar lekin Shankar ke ladke ko jaan se na maarne wala. Samaaj me rehan wale log jitne bhi bure ho yu kaam konya karte apni behan ke sath. Jo woh apna kaha kar gaya toh bhi byaa toh hota na. Maa ne kuch soch rakhya hai is baare me."

"Agar Arjun bach gaya toh? Uske chance nahi hai lekin agar aisa hua toh?"

"Fer main khud us se chudungi kyuki main daav pe pehle he lagi hu. Baaki upar wala apne rang ke dikhavega woh wohi jaane. Chal roti todda fer main chaali apne kamre me arr thaam log jo karo woh karo.", Babita ne khali gilas ek taraf rakhte hue thali apni taraf kar li. Lekin Shabnam ek aur gilas banati jaise aaj dher hone ke mood me thi.
.
.
Aaj Renuka apni bhabhi ke sath he rehne wali thi toh Arjun kuch ajaad tha. Khaane ke baad woh kuch samay apne dada ji ke sath bitane ke baad maa se mil kar apne kamre me aa gaya. Ghar ka darwaja jald he lag gaya tha aur baaki sab bhi apne kamro me ja chuke the. Dada ji ne bataya the ke eitwaar ko woh punjab jayega Priyanka didi ke sath he, kuch jaruri kagaj lene the unke college aur university se. Sath he ghar me sambhal ke aana tha. Matlab saaf tha ke woh kam se kam somwar raat se pehle wapis nahi aane wala tha.

"Toh aaj meharbani hone wali hai.", Madhu bua ek reshmi nighty pehne koi upanyaas padh rahi thi jab Arjun apne kamre se gadda nikal kar wahi bichane laga.

"Aap karengi meharbani toh.", Arjun ne muskurate hue unhe ek pal dekha aur fir sabhi darwaje jaanch kar band karta hua apni jagah leit gaya.

"Joru ke bister par uski badi behan ke sath. Upar he aa jaate.", Madhu bua uske paas aane se pehle aaine me khud ko thik karti hui ghungrale lambe baalo ko bhi ungliyo se suljha rahi thi.

"Ye jyada thik hai aur fir bed hilta bhi hai.", Arjun ke aisa kehne par woh muskurati hui nigty ki tanniya thik karne lagi. Arjun dekh raha tha ke Madhu bua abhi bhi kitni aakarshak hai aur hamesha sanvri rehne se unka jism bahot alag aur khila chamakta rehta tha. Nighty ke bahar se bhi unke motte chucho ka woh kataav aur maansal bade kulhe unki khoobsurti me 4 chaand lagate the. Gori nangi pindaliya bhi poore jism ki tarah baal-vihin chamakdar thi.

"Tum hila sakte ho isliye hilta hai. Aur aise kya dekh rahe ho? Tumhare pas he aa rahi hu.", chikni baahon par khas lotion lagati woh fir bed ke kinare par ek panv rakhti uski maalish karne lagi. Arjun woh maansal motti jaanghe aur unki gehrai me dekhta hua bua ke jism ki tulna karne laga tha. Bedaag sharir aur andar saaf fooli hui choot, jinki faanko ki jhalak usko mil rahi thi.

"Sach me kamaal ki ho aap bua. Sach baat toh ye bhi hai ke aapne apna dhyaan poora rakha hai.", Arjun ke pajame me bhi woh khas ang angdaai lene laga tha. Madhu bua ek aisi mahila thi atche se jaanti thi ki pyaar karne wale mard ka khayaal kaise rakha jata hai.

"Sab tere liye he karti hu ye main. Pehle toh kabhi dhyaan nahi deti thi ya beman se samay nikalne ke liye karti rehti thi. Ab tere sath hone se main khush rehne lagi hu. Aur waise bhi main apne aap ko pasand karti hu toh ye jaruri bhi hai.", Madhu bua ne aaj ye dusri light jala di thi jo halki thi lekin zero bulb wali neeli ki tarah bilkul maddim na thi. Ek adaa se woh chalti hui Arjun ke saamne khadi hui aur ghutno ke bal baithti hui apna chehra uske saamne le aai. Dono hath gadde par tike the aur seena bahar ko nikla unki is mudra ko kahi jyada uttejjak bana raha tha. Arjun bhi unke nimantran ko swikarta bua ke maddbhare raseele hontho par honth rakhta unke bade chucho ke neeche hath lagata jaise unka wajan lene laga.

Dono he sirf chehra jode baaki sharir viprit kiye the. Jald he unka dheema chumban hontho ko chabane me badalta fir jeebh choosai tak aa pahucha. Nighty ghutne tak thi aur is tarah jhukne se woh woh andkaar bade kulhe poora numaya hote bua ka kaamuk jism jhalka rahe the. Patle kapde ke upar se Arjun un maansal stanno ko sehlane ke baad ab nighty ke andar aa chuka tha. Chikni twacha aur chucho ka poora wajan uski hatheliyo ke sath he dono ke jism me halki maje ki tarange bharne laga. Nipple kade hone lage the aur dono ki saanse tej. Thodi pakad majboot karte he bua ki aankhe band ho gai aur honth alag.

"Isss...aahh.. Kaise sehlata hai re tu inhe.. umm.. aahhh..", Siskariya badhne lagi toh Arjun ne dono tanniya kandhe se alag karte hue upar bhag beparda kar dia. Woh bade aur motte dugdh-kalash uske saamne beparda the. Bua ko waise he jhukaye rakhe Arjun gadde par sar rakhta neeche se ek bhoore nipple ko choosne laga. Bua uski is harkat se hilne lagi thi lekin dusre ubhar ko masalta woh apni is gadrai gaaye si bua ke dono thann kas kar mooh me bharta doodh peene ka upkram karne laga. Bua ne bhi ek hath se bed ka kinara pakadte hue dusre se Arjun ka motta ling thaam lia. Chusai tej ho gai thi jaise he unhone uske lund ko sehlana shuru kia.

"Ahhh.. khaa ja re.. Tu aahh.. santusht karta hai.. mmmm.. Aise har hisse ko pyaar kar.. ummm..", 10 minute tak dono nipple choos choos kar motte karne ke baad woh waise he lete hue unki kamar pakad kar sharir apni taraf kheenchne laga. Bua ka chehra uske bade ubhaar ke samne aa pahucha toh ab unki ye tej siskari nikal gai. Arjun neeche leta unki choot ki darar choomne ke sath he ab andar ke naram hisse ko bhi hontho me bahrne laga.

"Maahh.. aaj kya kya karega tu.. aahh.. mere neeche dabb jayega.. aahh. lekin bada atcha lag raha hai..", Bua ne khud he ghutne uske chehre dono taraf rakhte hue khulkar choot chusai ka maja lena shuru kar dia. Khud bhi woh uska pajama dheela karne ke baad apni kalai se motte lund ko ek pal dekhne ke baad hontho se choomne lagi. Jald he Kaamsutra ki 69 mudra me dono ek dusre ke sharir ko ye alokik sukh dene lage. Beshak woh himmat aur thode anubhav ke sath 3-4 inch tak Arjun ke lund ka hissa mooh me le rahi thi lekin utna bhi paryaapt tha. Jabde jald he motai ki wajah se dukhne lage toh woh Arjun ki jaangh par sar tikaya uske lund ko hath se he hilane lagi. Sharir akadte he mutti jyada he kass chuki thi, jis se woh laar se bheega tamatar sa supada aur bhi adhik phool gaya.

"Bua.. aahh.. maja aaya aapko?", Madhu bua toh jaise uski awaaj sunkar sapno se bahar nikli.

"Mera rom rom hila dia re tune toh. Kya jaadu karta hai.. aah.. Sach me ye lund chota-bada toh kuch maayne nahi rakhta teri kaamkala ki tulna me. Abhi tak andar se kuch nikal raha hai.", Ab woh pura wajan daale Arjun ke upar leit gai thi. Dono chuche ab chaati me dabne lage the bua ka chehra Arjun ke chehre pe hone se.

"Aaj toh sab hilega bua jara kamar upar uthao.", Arjun ki aisi baat par woh khush hoti hui apne kulhe hawa uthati jaise tayaar he thi. Hath se lund ko seedha karta woh unki geeli choot par bhida ke ruk gaya. Aage bua samajhdaar thi.

"aahh.. araam se araam se.. ummm..ahh...mmmmm", Jab choot us bhayankar lund se chaudi hone lagi toh bua khud he apne honth Arjun ke mooh par dabati awaaj band karne lagi. Naram choot khud he us baans se motte lund par chipakti hui neeche aane lagi. Aadhi lambai andar lete he khud bua na jaise kamar neeche gira dia.

"Marr gaiiii..aahhh..mmmm", Arjun ke kandho par dono panje gadati woh jaise dard me tadap uthi thi. Abhi bhi choot dukthi thi uske akaar se aur itna bada ek baar me lene se halat toh kharaab honi he thi. Fir kuch pal rukne ke baad woh dard me bhi apna jisma haule haule hilati hui 2-3 inch upar neeche karne lagi.

"Buaa.. aahh.. aap poora sath deti ho..aahh.. kasam se dekhne se nahi lagta ke itni najuk ho kar bhi aap sab jhel leti ho..aah..aaj jyada he tight lag rahi hai.", Arjun bhi unke bade kulhe masalta neeche se kamar hilane laga. Dono dhimi raftar me is kamuk chudai ka lutf lete sab bhool kar lage rahe.

"Ahhh..aammmmm.. ye tujhe he tight lagti hai re...aahh. ab tere fufa ..aahh.. ka nahi jaane wala isme.. umm.. gayab he ho jayega.. maahh.. gai..main", jhadne se woh buri tarah Arjun se lipat gai aur woh bhi unki choot ke ras se ungli geeli karta us garam rubber se chedd ko kuredne laga. 5-6 baar choot ki chiknai unke lachile chote chedd par lagate hue woh apni aadhi ungli daal kar waise he ruk gaya.

"Bua aapne karwaya hai waha pehle..", Lund abhi bhi poora choot ke andar sar uthyae khada tha.

"Toh kya aise he ye itne bade ho gaye re..aahh.. lekin jaisa aage gaya hai waisa he peeche.. ummm.. dheeli karega tabhi karne dungi..umm.. aahhh..", Arjun unki baat par muskurata hua bua ko ek taraf karke bathroom me chala gaya. Bahar aane par bua waise he gaand upar kiye aundhi leti ti. Thandi cream gaand ke chedd par lagte he aag bhadkane lagi.

"isshhh.. lagta hai aaj main mari..aahhh..Chal kabhi na kabhi toh karna he tha..umm.. waise bhi kal koi hone wala nai..mmm..", Arjun ne anguthe se woh gulabi bhoora chedd atche se chikna karne ke baad dheela karna shuru kar dia tha. Bua ko bhi yaha karwane me maja toh aata tha lekin woh khud nai kehna chahti thi. Jald he 2 ungliya andar bahar karne se Arjun ko samajh aa gaya tha ke ab aage badhna chahiye.

"Bua ghutno ke bal ho jao.", Kamar se unhe upar uthata woh Madhu bua ke matke se gol aur bade kulhe dekhne laga. Rass bahati gulabi khuli choot ke upar ye bhoora chikna chedd darar me ek inch gehra tha. Waise he lund par lotion lagata woh hath se malish karte hue unke thik peeche ghutno par aa gaya tha.

"Araam se karna Arjun, tumhara sach me bahut bada hai.", Bua ne ek baar palat kar dekha aur fir takiye par mooh tika dia. Arjun unke ek kulhe ko thapkata unhe gaand dheeli karne ka ishara dene laga. Lund ka mukh chedd par lagte he dono ne aankhe band kar li. Arjun saans leta hua thoda dabaav badhane laga aur lund dheemi raftaar se woh band challa kholta hua thoda andar jaane laga. 'kachhh' thode halke se tej dhakke ke sath he poora motta supada dehakti surang me atak chuka tha. Arjun ko aisa laga jaise kisi ne daanto ke beech uska lund pakad lia ho. Madhu bua mooh me takiye ka hissa dabaye ye peeda sehan kar rahi thi, aankhon me paani aa gaya lekin koi shabd na kaha. Fir sharir waha se dheela chhodti woh Arjun ko bhi araam dene lagi.

"Bua, sorry. Dard ho raha hoga aapko lekin ab motta hissa chala gaya andar.", Arjun unke naram kulhe sehlata ruka raha.

"Bhar de ab aahh.. fikar mat kar.. ummm.. ye chhedd seh lega re..", Arjun unki baat par thoda sa hairaan tha. Fir dono latakte chuche pakad kar aage dabaav banata woh unke makhan se naram chedd me garam salaakh aur aage tak bharne laga. Sachmuch bua ke gol kulhe goondhe hue aate se naram aur makkan se chikne the. Arjun ki maje se aankhe mund gai jab jadd tak lund baith gaya. Jo chedd daraar se dikhta tak na tha ab poori tarah failkar dono fanko ko 3-4 incha chauda kiye tha.

"Aahhh.. bua.. bahot naram aur kasi hui ho aap.. ye jaise mujhe he nichod rahi hai aahh..", Arjun ki ungliya un gore kharbujo ko dabati hui andar dhans chuki thi aur chuttodo se chipka woh waise he ruka raha.

"Mmm.. Tera ye danda jaane kaha kaha lag raha hai andar.. aahhh.. Ummeed na thi lekin aahh.. aisa lag raha hai ke pehli baar karwa rahi hu... Lekin dard me bhi maja hai..", kamar halki neeche karti woh fir se piche ho gai. Aise me 2-3 inch lund ki us halki rugad ne jhurjhuri si bhar di thi dono he chhed me.

"Mausi aapne isko pehle he tayaar kia hua tha...aahh.", Arjun ne chucho se hath hata kar kamar thaam li thi. Aadha lund bahar khench kar wapis andar bharte hue woh unke sharir ka thirakna dekh raha tha. Gol chuche neeche se jhool rahe the aur waise he kulho ka maans bhi.

"Umm.. Pata tha mujhe ki is baar tu nahi maanega.. aahh.. 8 baje he naha kar maine aadha ghanta poora sharir sanwara aur fir aakhir me isko bhi.. umm.. Nahi toh khoon aana pakka tha re.. aah.. Andar toh ye aur bhi bada ho raha hai.. umm.", Sach me challe ki kasawat se jism ka sara khoon jaise supade me utar raha tha.

"Aapko pyaar se karwana pasand nahi na.. aahh.", Ab dhakke thode tej hone lage the. Ek haath se Arjun unki choot ko masalta hua bua ka poora khayal rakh raha tha.

"Aisa sharir ho toh fir takrane me he maja hai Arjun aahhh.. umm.. Woh masti jyada sukoon deti hai jo sharir dukhne se barkaraar rehti hai.", Arjun ne 2 ungliya choot me utaar di

"Waise aahh.. aapko sabse jyada kya pasand hai.. aahh."

"Saturday bataungi tujhe.. abhi kass ke pel jara.. Waise tune Renuka ke sath yaha kia hai..?", Lund ko kulho ke beech kasti woh Arjun ko bhi tadpa deti thi.

"Aaahh.. Nahi bua.. ummmm. Woh nahi jhel sakti aahh.. Aur na main unke sath ye karna chahta hu.. umm.."

"Pagal hai.. aahhh.. Woh chahti hai ke tu usko pati ki tarah nahi boyfriend ke jaise pyaar kare.. ungli tej chala aah..", choot bheegne lagi thi aur lund bhi saans lena chahta tha, veerya ugal kar.

"Umm.. Aapse kisne kaha hahhh?"

"Hum dono saheliya aur behne bhi hai.. aahh.. siiii.. Gai re..ahh. ", Woh gadde par ludhakne lagi lekin Arjun bhi peeche se unke upar badi chaadar sa bichta gaand ki gehrai me samaya he leit gaya.

"Bua.. aahh. ab toh aur atcha lag raha hai.", aise me Arjun un naram kulho ka maja le raha tha unpar leita hu aur 3-4 dhakko me he usne bua ke kharbuje neeche se hath daal kar pakadte hue apna paani andar kholna shuru kar dia. Kasawat ki wajah se veerya bhi ruk ruk kar lambi pichakariya maar raha tha. Jo alag he sukoon de rahi thi Madhu ko.

"Agli baar Renuka ko aahh. tabiyat se ragadna bajaye shrir se chipka ke miya-biwi wala shaant karyakram karne ke."

"Woh peit se hai bua."

"Ullu woh peit se hai lekin abhi chatta mahina nahi hai jo tu chinta kar raha hai. Yahi samay hai usko sab sukh dene ka. Aaahh... Hil mat, andar rehne de.."

"Fir kya karu main?"

"Yaha bathroom hai, tera kamra hai, Sanjiv ka hai.. Tabiyat se har jagah sabkuch try kar. Sharir jitna kholega woh utni majboot banegi..umm. Fir chautha mahina lagne par kuch samay dena. Andar sharir bann-ne lagta hai tab.. Aur fir peeche mat karna.. aage bhi karte samay peit ka khayaal rakhte hue miya-biwi ki tarah araam se aur side se. Bacha normal he hoga.", Is waqt Arjun ke neeche dabi hui bhi Madhu bua bade pyaar se usko zindagi ke kuch khas sabak sikha rahi thi. Arjun bhi unke jism ko pyaar se sehlata hua sab dhyaan se sunn raha tha. Samay 11 he hua tha iska saaf matlab tha ke dono abhi aur bhi bahot kuch karne wale the.

Rammehar Singh ki ye haveli hamesha he 10 baje tak shaant ho jati thi aur abhi 11 baje yaha waisa he sannatta pasra tha. Aangan me Mohar Singh kisi chowkidar sa takht par baitha hua hukke ka dhua udda raha tha. Shayad kuch aakhiri he kash bache the jitna alaav hukke me tha us hisaab se. Sultaan bhi is waqt khulla tha lekin farsh pe leta ungh raha tha. Itne shaant vatavaran me Mohar Singh ke kaano me reh reh kar halki awaaj padd rahi thi lekin woh ispar ko dhyaan nahi de raha tha. Kuch pal baad thodi si tej awaaj hone par woh uth khada hua. Bahar se he sab band kamro ki khidkiyo par najar ferta woh kataar se bane 5 kamro ka nirikshan karne laga. Yaha 2 kamre khali the jo baithak aur uska he kamra tha.

"Oh teri behan ki yu ke hai?", Teesre kamre me maddimm roshni thi aur pardo ke beech ki jagah se kamar se neeche tak nirvastra paanv usko najar aa rahe the. Ye khidki ka kaanch ka palla band nahi tha, hawa ke sanchar ko banaye rakhne ke liye. Aur andar woh doodhiya lambi taange faili hui thi jaha ek najuk gori kalai kaanch ki bottle apni choot me andar bahar kar rahi thi. Sirf lamba patla upari 4 inch lamba gol hissa.

'Yu Shabnam he hai pakka. Bhaan ki laudi aatchi garam se ya chhori toh. Kash mera lund iski choot me hota aahh..", Woh Shabnam he thi jo sharaab aur andar ki garmi se itni uttejjit ho chuki thi ki sharir ko thanda karne ke liye is bade bister ke beech me leti khud ko shaant kar rahi thi. Gore sharir par halki bhoori choot ko ragadti hui woh bottle ke patle hisse ko andar bahar kar rahi thi. Mohar Singh wahi khada apna dheela lund hilane laga.

'Saali aisi jawani toh naseeb he na hui. Koi na, bhanji hai lekin paani toh likadwa he degi..', Halka sa parda sarkate hue woh ab kamar se upar un dono hilte hue chucho ko bhi nihar raha tha. Shabnams chudaas me khoi siskian leti hui badbada rahi thi. 'mmma..uuuuuhhhh.. ummm.. aahhh... tear me baby..aahh..', aur 2 minute me he woh shaant ho gai lekin Mohar Singh ke liye itna he bahot tha. 2-3 boond farsh par girane ke baad woh dheele lund ko dhoti se saaf karta haanf raha tha.

"kaun hai bahar?", Shabnam ki awaaj se Mohar Singh ki fati hui gaand jaise aur fatt gai thi. Jaise taise woh charpai tak aaya aur pasar gaya. Ek gehre dard ke sath. Shabnam 2 minute baad sirf woh ghutno tak ki kameej pehne idhar ka darwaja kholti bahar nikli toh khidki ke pas Sultan ko dekh kar muskura di.

"Naughty boy. Toh tum dekh rahe the? Lekin I'm not into beastality stud. umaah.", Sultan jaise sunn ho gaya tha Shabnam dwara choome jaane se. Ektak woh usko pyaar se dekhne laga aur Shabnam wapis andar chali gai.

'Gaand fati so fati par yu kutta bacha gaya. Aaahh.. kutiya saali dekhn bhi na deti.', Mohar Singh fir se aankhe band karta hua sone laga. Yaha ab pehle si khamoshi chaa gai thi. Lekin poori haveli me shayad abhi bhi kuch logo ki aankhon me neend na thi. Bijender toh ghar tha he nahi lekin yaha Sushila aur Babita apne apne kamro me jaag rahi thi. Sushila band kamre me ek jheena ghaghra aur kameej pehne jaise kuch ghatne ka intjaar kar rahi thi. Poora kamra aur khidkia kai baar dekh chuki thi jaise koi darr ho kisi ki najar ka. Thik 11:30 par woh telephone ke saamne baith kar number milane lagi.

"Sushila bolu su.", Uske parvat se bade ubhar is waqt unchi table par tike the jis tarah woh phone par jhuki samne wale ko apna parichaya de rahi thi.

"Sheela, Bheem ne phone de.", Dusri taraf se awaaj sunte he usne Bheem ko line par aane ka kaha aur fir halki hanfti awaaj kaan me sunai di.

"Tu es bakht bhi apni maa ke chhed me ghussa se? Thodi taqat bacha ke raakh le beta, bahot jaruri hai.", Sushila ki baat sunkar saamne se kuch der awaaj aati rahi.

"Bera hai manne ke tu konya thakta lekin teri chhoti si galti ka bada khamiyaja bhugatna padd sake hai. Mere se jyada nuksaan tera he hoga is khatir fikar hai. Kade tu is buddiya me jor khatam karan laag reha hai, kaal teri rani milegi uska maja liye. Dhyaan se sunn eb. Tadke baaki log tayar rakhiye, ek chhoti si chook arr sara khel kharaab. Wa Bindu aali ghani chalaak se, pakka koi jugat bhidaye baithi hogi. Aaj sara din waa araam te padi thi matbal saaf hai ke uski tayaari kuch jyada he hai.", Sushila ki awaaj sirf itni thi ki 10 foot dur se koi sunn na sake. Bheem ko bade dhyaan se woh sabkuch kam se kam shabdo me samjha rahi thi.

"Haan, bypas wala godaam jama surakshit hai. Aaj thik karwaya hai manne.", Sushila ne kaam ko anjaam dene ki jagah ka bataya.

"Dekh Bheem waa mere bas ki koni.", Saamne se jo bhi kaha gaya sunn kar Sushila thodi naram padd gai thi aur fir se Bheem ki baat sunn ne lagi.

"Menaka ka vaada mera tha arr Babita aur tere beech me Bijender hai. Pehle kaal ka kaam nibta le fer koi hal karange is baat ka.", Sushila ki chinta jayaz thi lekin jald he woh thik ho gai.

"Haan, pakka. Meri taraf teh nischint reh. Eb thoda araam kar le tu, bhot kaam hai agle din me.", Sushila ne phone rakhne ke baad ek lambi saans li aur kuch pal waise he baithi rahi. 'Yu bi Babita ka diwana se aur Bijender bi. Bijender jail me bhejna padega 2-4 saal arr iske keede main kaadungi. Ghana lalach aa gaya kameen ke dil me. Shankar teri ek baar ki naa dekh tera sabkuch ujaad ke jaavegi.', Kursi se khadi ho woh bister par aati halke gusse se apna ek ubhaar dabane ke baad karwat le kar leit gai. Sone se pehle bhi jubaan par aakhiri naam Shankar ka tha. Aaj bhi ghar ka woh agyaat shaksh samantar phone par saari baatein sunn kar handle par hath rakhe us hare telephone ko dekh raha tha.

Update 96
Shankhnaad se Pehle


Saadhe 3 baje Arjun ki neend khuli toh bua ka maansal badan uski baahon me tha. Madhu bua alf nangi uske seene me apne stann dabaye lipti hui sukoon se so rahi thi. Arjun kamre ki halki neeli roshni me woh shaant masoom chehre dekhne laga. Aisa lagta tha ke jaise varsho baad woh chain se soyi ho. Ubhre honth kisi chhote shishi peete bache se upar uthe hue aur chehre par ye alag he noor. Unhe dekhte hue Arjun ne gaalo par aaye kuch baal peeche kiye toh woh jaise koi meetha sapna dekhti muskurane lagi.

'Bahot pyaari ho aap bua. Aapko bhi jiwan me woh pyaar na mila jo milna chahiye tha. Main koshish karunga kuch khusiyan aapke jiwan me dene ki.', Unke gaal ko halke se choomte hue woh fir se chehra unke saamne kiye leit gaya. Aankhe abhi bhi bua ko he dekh rahi thi. Jaane kaise lekin neend me he bua ne apni taang uske upar rakhte hue nichla hissa bhi sath laga dia. Raat 2 baar bharpoor chudai hone ke baad bhi jaise woh khwaab me bhi wahi kar rahi thi. Lund unki aisi harkat se akadta hua unki jaangho ke beech dabaav dene laga toh bua ne Arjun ko jor se pakadte hue hontho par honth laga diye.

"Maanogi nahi aap?", Arjun ne apne mann me he ye kaha aur upar wale hath se pakad kar apna akda hua ling bua ki bahar nikli motti fanko ke beech daba dia. Hairat ki baat thi ki woh itni geeli thi jaise koi sakhalan hua ho abhi. Unke naram nitambh apni taraf karta woh bade pyaar se choot ke andar apna lund utarne laga.

"Maahhh.. Sudhar jao.. aahh.", Bua ki neend uchat gai us motte dande ko choot me jagah banate dekh. Fir Arjun se lipti woh khud he uske uapr aa gai. Geeli gali me poora raasta us vikral ling se bharne ke baad araam se uske seene par leit gai. Pyaar se uske chehre, honth aur thuddi ko geela karti bua ko fir se Arjun ka nasha chadh raha tha.

"Sapne me bhi aap yahi kar rahi thi na?"

"Jis waqt tumhara mehsoos hua thik tabhi shayad main jhadi thi. Aahh.. ye andar hone par lagta hai main poori ho gai hu. Tum bhi kam nahi ho.", Arjun ne dono ke seene ke beech ek hatheli daalte hue unka sooja hua motta nipple aur naram ubhar pakad liya. Aamtaur par chhote laal beir sa rehne wala nipple abhi sooja hua doguna lag raha tha. Dhime dhime kamar uchalti woh ab seedhi baith gai thi. Khule ghungrale baal aur joro se hilte dono bade stann. Arjun bhi halka upar uthta unka ek chuchak mooh me bhar ke peene laga aur fir bua ki kamar pakad kar jaise unki uchalne me madad karne laga.

"Aaahh... Ye har waqt tayaar rehta hai? Kaash ye karna main dekh paati..", Bade kulhe aadhe se jyada lund andar bahar kar rahe the. Aur bua ki aisi mansha jaan kar Arjun unhe araam se ek taraf karta uth gaya.

"Kya hua?", Wo jaise kisi anhoni ka soch kar darr si gai thi.

"Kuch bhi nahi meri pyaari bua. Chalo mere sath aao.", Unhe apna hath deta woh bua ke sath he bathroom me aa gaya. Bua kuch samajh nahi paa rahi thi lekin Arjun ka kaha maanti woh diwar se lag kar khadi hui aur unki ek taang upar uthata woh ek dhakke me he unke andar poora sama gaya.

"Aaahh.. ye kya kar raha hai re?", Bua ka jism jitna bhara hua tha utna he lachila tha. Arjun bhi araam se unhe diwar se lagaye halke dhakke deta apni chati se unke motte ubhar daba raha tha.

"Sheeshe me dekh lijiye udhar. aahh.. Aapki itcha poori ho jayegi.", Unka gaal choomta woh chehre ko udhar karte hue bade pyaar se bua ki naram choot ka mardan karne laga. Aur sheeshe me us motte tagde lund ko apni naram ubhri choot ke beech andar bahar hota dekh ek pal ko toh bua bhi sharma gai fir gehre dhakko aur masti me woh dekhna jaise aur sukhad lagne laga. Har baar woh sakht sa danda andar se aur chamakta hua bahar nikal raha tha. Motte gubbar dabb kar bahar nikal rahe the.

"Aahh.. kass kar maar.. Ye toh aur maja de raha hai aahhh.. kaisi chaudi kar di hai re tune meri... ummm..", Bua hairaan ho gai jab Arjun ne unka bhari sharir upar uthate he dono kulhe thaam kar jadd tak lund pelna shuru kar dia. Sisakti hui woh bhi apne paanv uski kamar par lapete hatho se gardan pakad kar apni gaand teji se hilane lagi.

"Maaahh.. ammmmm.. maja aa raha hai aise toh.. aahh.. tu kitna tagda hai re. ", Ab sheeshe ko choodd woh Arjun ko dekhne lagi. Jald he dono hontho ko chooste is chudaai ko aur aage le gaye. Agle 20 minute me dono he bathroom me 4-5 alag aasan se ye chudaai sukh le chuke the. Diwar par hath tikaaye bua ab peeche se Arjun se chudwa rahi thi. Woh bhi ghode ke tarah unhe joro se andar tak hilata hua bade kharbuje masal raha tha.

"Main hone wala hu bua.. aah..", Bua ki choot jaane 4 baar ya 5 baar jhadne ke baad fir se kasne lagi thi.

"Andar he bhar de ye aahhhh.. Araam milega.", Choot me apna rass bharta woh khade hue he jor se unse lipat gaya tha. Bua bhi lambi saanse leti haanf rahi thi. Kuch araam karne ke baad Arjun ne fuhara chala dia.

"Naha he lo ab aap. Fir main ghumne jaunga aur aap araam se sona.", Bua farsh par leit gai thi. Gaand ka dard kuch kam he hua tha ke ab unki choot sooj chuki thi. Arjun ne unka poora sharir paani ke neeche pyaar se saaf kia aur sukhane ke baad badan par lotion laga kar thodi rahat di. Goad me liye he woh unhe bister tak le aaya.

"Ye gown pehan lijiye aur ab araam kijiye.", Arjun ne unko pyaar se choomne ke baad ek poora gown gale me daalte hue kaha. Unhone bhi muskurate hue dono hath gown se nikalkar sharir ka sahi se dhaka aur utne he pyaar se Arjun ke honth choom kar kuch der seene se lagi rahi. Arjun ko bhi unka aisa karna atcha laga.

"Aap ro kyo rahi ho?", Alag hote he unki bheegi aankhe dekh Arjun unka hath thaam kar sath he baith gaya.

"Bhagwan ne itni khushiyan nahi di thi na pehle. Tu bada pyaara aur saaf hai Arjun jo jismani sambandh ke laalach se koso dur apne sathi ka itna dhyaan rakhta hai, parwah karne ke sath he ehsaas karata he ke tumhare liye mera kitna adhi mulya hai. Kapde toh Ashok aur Shankar ne apni marji se anginat baar utare, maar bhi khai hai maine kabhi kabhi dil na hone ki wajah se lekin tum bilkul alag ho. Thodi der baithoge mere pas.", Arjun se jaise unhone nivedan kia tha, pyaar se bhara.

"Aapko ye nahi kehna chahiye.", Arjun ne bua ka hath choom kar pehle 2 takiye bister ki pusht se lagaye aur fir bua ko apne sath lagata woh judd kar bed par unke sath he baith gaya. Aankho se nikle dono moti Arjun ne saaf karte hue ab ek hath bua ke kandhe par rakh lia tha.

"Shaadi se pehle mera pehla pyaar Shankar tha. Woh hamesha samne raha jab main badi ho rahi thi. Fir sahi waqt aane par usne mujhe ladki se aurat banaya aur ye jawani ka josh jo hota hai ye us doodh ki tarah hota hai jo jitni baar chulhe par rakho ubal lene lagta hai. Lekin dhyaan dene par pata chalta hai ke woh kam bhi hota rehta hai. Fir aakhir me sakht. Shankar se mujhe shikayat nahi thi koi lekin main us par haq samajhti thi. Pata chal ke uski zindagi me main akeli nahi thi. Darzan bhar hongi koi aur woh jab ghar aata tabhi mere kehne par he karta tha. Shaadi ke baad Ashok bhi sirf apni marji hone par yahi karte, meri marji se unko kabhi farak he na pada. Aisa nahi ke pyaar nahi karte mujhse, lekin ye mard jo hota hai na jismani samay me ye haavi rehna chahta hai, mardangi aur aurat par adhikar dikhane ke liye.", Bua jaise aaj apna poora dil Arjun ke saamne kholna chahti thi. Arjun toh wahi paksh jaanta tha jo bua aur uske papa ke darmiyaan tha.

"Fir paisa, kaam-dhanda, pariwar. Main toh kahi dikhi he nahi kisi ko. Shankar toh Tara ke hone ke baad waha kabhi aaya nahi kai saal aur yaha aa kar main jab bhi us se milti toh tadap badh jaati thi. Ashok ke sath mera ab mann nahi karta tha aur Shankar mere sath ghar se bhagne ko tayaar nahi tha. Maanti hu main galat kar rahi thi lekin mere andar jo chal raha tha uski parwah kisi ne na ki. Purane ghar me 15 minute chudai ki woh bhi jaise khudko pasand ho, fir kabhi raat me is upar wali manjil par kyonki Shankar peene ke baad utawala rehta tha. Ghar wapis jaane ke baad sab wahi. Is chakkar me maine bhi sharaab shuru kar di. Nashe me mujhe dard sehne ki himmat milti thi. Fir Ashok aage kare, peeche ya mooh me. 6 mahine ya saal baad Shankar aata toh main ye sab uske sath bhi karti. Ab woh bhi fir se aasakt hua ke Madhu ab uske hisab ki ho gai hai. Lekin us sharaab ki wajah kisi ne nahi poochi, mere aatma ko sehlana toh dur kisi ne ye bhi nahi poocha ke main itni kyu badal gai.", Bua Arjun ke kandhe se lagi ek hath seene par rakhe thi. Thodi der pehle wali Madhu jaise ab andhkaar me doob chuki thi. Arjun unka sar sehlate hue jaise unhe prerit kar raha tha jiwan ko sambhalne ke liye.

"Jaante ho main yaha aai thi tab maine pehle baar Shankar se kaha tha ke Rekha ko bhi samay dena. Jaane kaise mere dil se wahi nikla jo main khudke liye na keh saki thi. Aur fir mujhe tum mile. Nadaan se dikhne wale masoom jiske prati main maa ki umar hone par bhi khinchi chali di. Bahut roka khudko, tumhe bhi dukh pahuchaya lekin fir mujhe jo pyaar aur ijjatt tumne di woh sab ghaav bhar gaya. Andar aur bahar dono ke. Mujhe ye masoom sa ladka itna samajhdar hai, pyaar ko jaanta hai ye pata chala. Tum koi vaada nahi karte jaise dusre log pehli bar jism milne par duniya jaha ki kasme khaa lete hai. Lekin tum mere khud utare kapde pehnane se pehle mujhe gehrai se dekhte ho. Kahi koi jakhm na de dia ho, dukh na pahuchaya ho. Kal raat main waise he soyi thi jaise bachpan me nasamajh si bhag-daud ke baat khush ho kar so jaati thi papa ke gudiya dilane par. Itna samajhdar kisne bana dia tumhe?"

"Halaat ne bua. Papa ka maa ko hamesha dabana, Dada ji ka akele he mehnat karna 3 jawaan bete hone ke bawjood, behno par pabandiya, aapka papa ke liye tadapna aur fir mera is ghar se jana. Krishna maa ko meri parwah thi lekin woh bhi na reh saki mere sath. Fir akela rehne par maine dekha ki bada insaan chhote ko hamesha dabata hai, darata hai jabki woh us taqatwar ke liye din-rat mehnat karta hai. Fir kitabe aur Dada ji ki shiksha ne mujhe khud ko badalne me sath dia. Wapis aane par dadaji ne ek badi baat kahi thi jab main unse kehta tha ke aap hamesha daadi ji se darte hai. Woh bole ki meri daadi he hai jo unke hisse ki bhi sari jimmedaria akele nibhati rahi hai. ye darr nahi hai, samarpan hai. Samarpan insaan ko jyada majboot banta hai kyonki fir woh akela nahi hota. Kisi ka dil ya dard he nahi samjhunga toh woh mujhe samarpit kyon hone laga? Ye dono taraf se kaam karta hai aur jitne aapas me purn samarpan he nahi toh fir pyaar kaise hua?", Arjun ne saralta se itni gehri baatein keh di thi.

"Bua, aap jab dil se mere sath hai. Mujhe khushi de rahi hai, meri dekhbhal bhi karti hai toh main wahi kyu na karu? Aur kaise vaade hum kar sakte hai siway iske ki jab bhi hum dono honge toh nischhal aur saaf honge ek dusre ke sath, poore dil aur aatmiyata se. Itne anmol samay me kaise aapko kshati pahuchane ki galti kar sakta hu? Yaadein toh gulaab si honi chahiye na in palo ki, Mehakti hui khaas sugandh liye. Hamare ekant me toh maine kabhi aapko kisi rishtey se nahi dekha siway pyaar ke, aur aap badi hai toh mujhe aapka jyada khayal rakhna he hoga. Waise ab sharaab matt peena aap.", Arjun ne subah ke waqt in gambhir baaton ko is masti se khatam karte hue muskura kar unki naak par halke se choom lia.

"Ye papa tumhe paida nahi kar sakte the kya?", Woh bhi laad se Arjun ke seene lagti kehne lagi.

"Shaadi fir bhi nahi hone wali thi. Aur aap ab jyada atchi dikhti ho, us waqt ki tasveer maine dekhi hai. Dubli si.", Arjun unhe pyaar se satate hue alag hua aur woh narajgi se hath marne ka dikhawa karne lagi. Apne kamre ki taraf jaata woh jaldi se unhe choom kar fir bhaag gaya.

"Shaitaan kahi ke. Tu mil agli baar mujhe."

"Raat ka kya khayaal hai bua?", Arjun kamre me kapde badalte hue bola.

"Bhool ja tu ab. Bura haal hai pehle he mera. Ab sone de thodi der.", Naatak karti woh leit gai thi aur Arjun tayaar ho kar unke kamre me aaya toh bua ki band aankhe dekh kamre ko thik karta woh fir bahar nikal chala.

Khushnuma mahol tha in vriksho ke jhurmut aur khulle aasman ke tale. 5 baje vatavaran purn shant tha university ke andar he aage ke is jungle si jagah par. Halke ujale me ghas par baitha Arjun apne pas baithi Muskaan ki baatein sunta hua us chotte talaab ko dekh raha tha. 5-6 bhoori rang ki batakh khas tarike se chalti fir paani me utar rahi thi. Barabar he baiti Muskaan ek ujli safed dheeli tshirt aur ghutno tak ki jeans ki nikkar pehne thi.

"Bade araam se baithe ho yaar. Waha sab log jung ki tayaari me lage hai aur tum mere sath is jungle me itni savere baithe batkhe dekh rahe ho.", Muskaan ke reshmi seedhe baal sahi se ek rubber me bandhe uske kandhe se neeche tike the. Woh bhi Arjun ki najro ka peecha karti wahi dekh rahi thi.

"Batao fir main kya karu? Ab unhone jo karna hai woh karenge lekin unke chakkar me main kyu ye anmol pal kharaab karu? Itni pyaari dushman sath baithi hai aur saamne pakshiyo ka poora pariwar maje le raha hai.", Arjun ki is halki si hansi par woh bhi muskura di.

"Dushman toh maine tumhe kabhi nahi mana. Aur main kabse pyaari ho gai?", Woh mooh banati hui dusri taraf dekhne lagi jaha 10 feet unche ghane sarkande lage the. Arjun ne ek baar Muskaan ki taraf dekha aur chhota sa tinka uske kaan se lagate hue masti karne laga.

"ouchh.. pagal kahi ke. Main sach me pareshan hu aur tum hans rahe ho."

"Kis baat se pareshan ho? Yahi ki tumhari didi ke log aur kai dusre log milkar mujhe khatam kar denge. Toh atcha he hai na. Fir tum bhi ajaad ho jaogi in sab mushkilo se aur ghar wapis ja sakogi. Itne log agar aisa chahte hai toh koi badi wajah he hogi. Fir is se unko sukoon milega toh atcha hai.", Baat kehta woh Muskaan ko dekhne laga jo mooh fere baat sunti rahi aur ekdum se uski taraf palat kar dheele hath se karara tamacha gaal par maar dia. Aankhon me aansu bhare the Muskaan ki aur Arjun ko thappad maarti woh khud he uske gale se lag gai. Woh ab bhi shaant he tha.

"Mujhe pyaar nahi karte ye main janti hu. Lekin main karti hu pyaar aur woh log mujhe maar de toh main khuskismat samjhungi khudko. Meri aankhen ab band bhi nahi hoti raat me ki unhone tumhe kuch kar dia aur iski jimmewar main hu.", Shaanti kuch hadd tak bhangg ho chuki thi Muskaan ke foot-foot ke rone se. Gulabi gaal aansuo se tarr the aur woh halka hilti hui apne andar bhare dard ko nikalne lagi.

"Sab baatein tum he soch leti ho kya? Main pyaar nahi karta? Woh mujhe maar denge? Jimmewar tum ho? Arre kitni pagal ho tum tumhe khud nahi pata. Aur bilkul nasamajh bhi. Shabnam ne jaane kya soch kar tumhe kaam lagaya tha jo har baar tum meri aankhon me rahi. Jab main khud tumhari behan ki pehchan wapis de sakta hu aur tumhare hath apni aur papa ki tasvire un tak pahucha sakta hu toh tumhe abhi bhi lagta hai ke Arjun tayaar nahi hai? Rona band karo aur raat ko tayaar rehna.", Arjun ne aakhiri baat bilkul kaan ko choomte hue kahi.

"Tum insaan ho bhi ya nahi? Yaha main is sabse itni pareshan hu ki so nahi paa rahi aur tum gandi baatein kar rahe ho.", Muskaan sisakte hue apne bheege chehre se usko dekh rahi thi. Fir Arjun ne uske chehre ko khud he saaf kia aur apna hath Muskaan ki kamar me daalta apne se lagaye baith gaya.

"Na tum mujhe kuch bataogi ke woh kaun log hai aur na main tumhe bataunga ke main kya soch kar nischint hu. Lekin sach kehta hu ke aaj main tumhare pas jarur aaunga, raat me. Mera dil hai tumse dhero baatein karne ka, jaan-ne ka aur meri wajah se ab tum akeli padd gai ho toh fir zindagi ke baare me kuch sochna toh padega. Jimmewar main hu is sabke liye tum nahi.", Arjun kahi na kahi Muskaan ki is haalat se chintit tha.

"Woh log bahot khatarnaak hai Arjun. Shabnam bhi unhe itna nahi jaanti kyonki woh ek tarah se mujhe saamne rakhti aai hai aur idhar woh bas 10 din se he hai. 6 Mahine woh Bombay he thi aur us se pehle saal me ek baar 2-3 din ke liye England se idhar aati thi. Main woh log kareeb se dekhe hai aur unhe samjha hai. Bereham, chalaak aur hamari soch se kahi jyada taqatwar. Aur woh meri jaankari se bhi jyada he honge. Main inme se kisi ki sagi nahi hu toh mujhe jaan boojh kar samne rakha gaya aur aisi image bana di jaise main bigdail ameer ladki hu, kal ko sab gayab ho jayenge aur main is sabki jimmedar kehlaungi.", Muskaan samajhdar thi jisko apne he pariwar walo ke mansube pehle se pata the.

"Tumhare tak baat nahi aayegi. Waise tumhare papa toh aisa kabhi nahi kar sakte Muskaan. Ek baap kabhi beti ko khatre me nahi dalega."

"Arjun, papa se maa ne dusri shaadi sirf isliye ki thi kyonki woh England ke naagrik hone ke sath he ek bade pariwar ke sabse laadle ladke the. Maa khoobsurat thi aur papa apahiz. Woh wheelchair pe hai jabse shaadi hui, shayad us se bhi pehle se. Fir aadhi se jyada property maa ke naam ho gai aur papa bhi unke samne bebas. Daadi ke baad ab maa he pariwar ke head hai, tauji ke hone ke bawjood. Unhone he maa ko banaya hai jaise.", Ladki kahi bhi koi galat alfaaj nahi bol rahi thi. Arjun uski aisi haalat dekh dukhi ho gaya tha. Is baar usne khud Muskaan ko apne seene se laga lia aur wahi ghaas pe leit kar aankhen band kar li. Muskaan ko toh jaise itne pyaar ki sapne me bhi ummeed na thi.

"Sab thik ho jayega Muskaan bas apne naam ko yaad rakhna. Pata nahi kaise hoga lekin tumhe poora pariwar milega aur utna he pyaar jitna har layak beti ko milta hai. Tumne apne hisse ka dukh jee lia hai aur ab baaki sabki baari hai. Ek masoom ke kandhe par bandook rakh kar chalne ki badi bhaari galti kar di.", Arjun kabhi ugra nahi hota tha lekin jaise seene se lagate hue woh Muskaan ke dard se judd sa gaya tha.

"Woh log..."

"Shhh.. Sab ko bhugatna padega. Pata tha ke aisa kuch hone wala hai lekin pehle main sirf isko ek badle ki mansha se liye jaane wale pratishodh ki tarah dekh raha tha lekin ye kshadyantra hai aur isme jitne bhi shamil hai sabko saja milegi.", Arjun ki awaaj halki kaamp rahi thi lekin woh tej nahi thi. Muskaan ko pehli baar laga tha jaise Arjun sacmuch alag hai uski soch se. Beshak woh taqatwar hai aur usme shaq karna bewkoofi thi kyonki usne khud aankho se dekha tha ki uske bheetar ek janwar aur hai.

"Shaant ho jao.", Badi naram awaaj me muskaan ne kaha toh Arjun ne uska sharir dheela chhodte hue khudki aankhe bhi band kar li. Lekin Muskaan khud uske upar sarakti Arjun ke shaant chehre ko dekhne lagi. Apni bhi aankhe band karti woh uske hontho par jhuki lekin usko nahi pata tha ke woh kya kar rahi hai. Band hontho se apne bhi naram honth bhidati woh waise he rahi. Arjun ke chehre par lambi si muskurahat aa gai.

"Tumhe kiss nahi karna aata? England se ho fir bhi nahi? Manju ko toh bahut kahaniya sunai hui hai tumne.", Ab woh ghaas par leti thi aur Arjun sirf uske chehre par ek taraf se jhuka tha. Sharam se aankhen band karti woh gardan naa me hilane lagi.

"England ka matlab ye toh nahi ki waha har koi har taraf choomta firta hai. Main joint family me rahi hu aur hamesha apne papa ke pas. Teacher ghar padhane aate the aur fir yaha aane ke baad maine kya kia hai woh tumhe bhi pata hoga. Haan Manju meri atchi saheli hai aur apni image kharaab karna fir uske samne he shuru kia tha. Waise tumne Manju ko kiss kia hai?"

"Har baar kiss se jyada he karta hu. Pooch lena mana nahi karegi batane se jaise Preeti ne tumse kaha tha.", Arjun ne dono ka naam lete hue bhi awaaj me shokhi barkarar rakhi.

"Kitne gande ho tum. 2-2 girlfriend aur ye sab bhi karte ho.", Woh sharam se chehra ghumane lagi.

"Ab 3-3 kehna thik rahega.", Arjun ne jaise pyaar se uska chehra thaama toh Muskaan ne himmat karte hue uska chehra neeche kheench lia. Apni patle gulabi honth kholti is baar woh khud he poore josh se Arjun ko choom rahi thi. Hontho ka rass agle ek minute tak badalta raha fir alag hone par dono he upar aasman dekhne lage.

"tumhe toh aata nahi tha?"

"Filme England me bhi dekhne ko milti thi aur yaha bhi. Badi hu tumse, college girl."

"Ye school wala boy tumhari saari filme bhula dega.", Arjun waise he leta muskura raha tha aur Muskaan fir se uske upar jhukti badi najakat se chote chote kai chumban hontho par lagatar karti rahi. Jaane ye kaisa tarika tha ke Arjun ka dil dheeme dhadakne laga, sukoon se. Sharir halka ho chuka tha aur ab Muskaan bhi baalo se rubber nikale uske seene par sar rakhe leti thi.

"Butterfly kisses. It connects two souls. Ek english short movie me dekha tha maine ye. Tumse pehle sirf Bruno ke sath iski practice ki thi."

"Bruno?"

"Room me aaoge toh milwa dungi. Jealous mat hona fir. Waise tum kyo hone lage 3-3 girlfriend wale ho."

"Utho teesri ji. Aasman saaf hone laga hai ab mujhe chalna hoga aur tum bilkul bhi akele nahi rehna filhal."

"Ye baat mujhe tumhare liye kehni chahiye.", Arjun uski parwah dekh hansta hua kachi sadak par khadi motorcycle tak aa gaya, peeche he Muskaan aa rahi thi.

"Akela nahi hu main lekin tum apna dhyaan rakhna.", Arjun jaise usko aashwast karna chahta tha aur Muskaan is baar alag tarah se peeche baithi thi, dono taraf paanv karti uske peeth se chipak kar.

"Tum na jaise dikhte ho bilkul waise nahi ho. Badmash aur shararti se.", Sar peeth par rakhti woh fir thoda chintit ho gai thi.

"Jo kaha hai woh yaad rakhna."

"Haan haan akeli nahi rahungi aur dhyaan rakhungi apna."

"Mera matlab tha raat ke bare me.", Arjun motorcycle liye aage badh chala aur Muskaan uski peeth par halke se chapat lagti hansne lagi.

"Dono gaadi ja rahi hai? Aur bhaiya aap kab aaye?", Arjun jaldi tayar ho gaya tha aur fir sabhi jab jaane lage toh woh bahar unke sath he chala aaya. Yaha safari aur esteem dono gaadi khadi thi. Sath he Sanjiv bhaiya aur ek police ka hawaldar bhi.

"Haan bhai ab baaki log toh naraaj nahi kar sakte. Isliye socha sabko he le chalte hai. Bas teri taaiji Aarti didi ghar me hai beta toh school se aane ke baad thoda dhyaan rakhna agar koi samaan lana ho. Waise raat ko Harpaal aa jayega nigrani ke liye aur aangan me he bister lagwa dena uska.", Dadaji ne Arjun ko sari hidayte de di thi jo apne bhaiya ke sath laga khada tha. Harpal police ka hawaldar tha aur pehle woh Rameshwar ji ka driver reh chuka tha.

"Aaru, meri leave table par he rakhi hai. Bhai meri class me de dena please. 2 din ki di hai.", Rupali didi ne usko aaj Aaru keh kar bulaya tha aur Arjun muskurata hua unhe dekhne laga.

"Kisi aur ka bhi koi kaam ho toh bata dena. Waise stadium toh ja sakta hu na.", Ye usne apni daadi ko dekh kar kaha tha aur Kaushalya ji bhi usko gale lagane ke baad beech wali seat par baithne lagi.

"Ajaad hai tu beta. Inki mat suna kar itni, Lalita ke pas Saroj bhabhi aa jayegi teri aur waise bhi pados me apne he log hai. Tu khana kha ke school chale jana.", Daadi ki baat par Arjun sar hilata fir maa se gale mila. Sabko bye kehne ke baad jab Sanjiv bhaiya bhi gaadi me baithe toh Arjun kuch samay unke gale laga raha. Sabko atcha lagta tha un dono ka pyaar dekh kar. Bhaiya ne gaal thapthapaya aur fir dono gaadi ghar se nikal kar apni manjil ki aur badh gai.

"Shukar hai.. Hhh..", Arjun unke jaate he andar aa gaya. Abhi school jaane me pauna ghanta baaki tha.

"lalla khana laga du pehle tera?", Taai ji jaise kafi samay se uthi hui thi aur sabhi log nashta karke gaye the isliye bartan dhone me lagi hui woh rasoi me aa khade hue Arjun se poochne lagi.

"Aaj nashta me aap ho kya?"

"Hatt badmash. Subah savere he shuru ho gaya. School se aane ke baad dekhenge ye sab aur raat bhi hai.", Arjun unko chhodd kar alag hota muskura raha tha.

"Taaiji filhal toh main ek baar tayaar ho jau, 10 minute me aata hu neeche.", Arjun fir seedha apne kamre me chal dia, upar wali manjil par. Yaha ab bharpoor shanti thi kyonki teeno kamro me rehne walo me se sirf Arjun he idhar tha. Almari me kuch dhoondta woh thoda nischint hua he tha ki seene par lipte ye najuk hath aur peeth par 2 naram gole mehsoos karte he Arjun ne aankhe band kar li. Almari araam se band karta woh bola.

"Itne dino baad aaj aapko yaad aai hai Aarti didi."

"Tumhe pata hai na, didi aur ghar me itne logo ke samne main pas nahi aane wali. Ab na rok saki jab tumhe idhar aate dekha toh.", Ye Aarti didi he thi aur Arjun se chipki hui woh behad khush najar aa rahi thi. Abhi tak unko Arjun ka ehsaas yaad tha.

"Aur thodi der baad main school chala jaunga.", Arjun ne unka ek hath thamne ke baad unki taraf mudte hue kaha. Dheele top aur pajame me woh hamesha ki tarah mosoom si alhadd ladki lag rahi thi, chasme ke bina. Arjun dusra hath kamar ke peeche lagata unhe sath lagaye pyaar se niharne laga.

"Toh kya hua? Lekin 2 minute toh hamare pas hai na.", Unki baat sunkar aaj din chadhne se pehle he woh teesri yuvti ko choomne laga tha. Aarti ke bhi hath uski peeth par kaste Arjun ko khud se chipkane lage. Aarti ke dono honth buri tarah geele ho chuke the aur 1 minute baad woh hanfti hui muskura rahi thi.

"Ho gai aaj meri goodmorning. Baad me milte hai.", Unki halki kampti taange dekh Arjun shararti muskaan dene laga.

"Gande. Ye hota hai jab tumhare pas aati hu.", Aur woh badi hawa ki gati se waha se nikal chali.

Mohar Singh ghar me ho rahi gatividhi ke baare me toh kuch nahi jaanta tha lekin mamla kuch gadbad jarur lag raha tha. Apni soch me he dooba woh nohre me baitha tha. Abhi nashta karne ke baad woh hukka tayaar he kar raha tha ke sath he ghar ki harek bareek baat par gor karne laga.

'Pehle aai thi Sheela aur sath Bheem. Fer 2 din baad Sushila gai thi sehar arr fer ya Shabnam neem andhere me seedhi Sushila ke gail. Chokha mamla hai koi jo manne ni bata re yo log. Kaal Bijender Mangeram arr Gollu ke sath gaya tha woh bhi jeep me tadke. Aaya sanjh ne. Raat Shabnam chaske leve thi jis tarah leve thi woh tarika tha akelepan ka. Matlab ko badi tension se. Hmmm. Manne ni bata re matbal mere pe inka bharosa koni lekin kaam chokha badda hai.' Mohar Singh ko jaise sabhi log kamtar aank rahe the lekin ye alag he praani tha. Zindgai bhar sahi samay par galat nirnaya aur galat samay par sahi jaise iski kismat he thi.

"Ram Ram mama, ke gyaan?", Ye Bijender he tha jo Sultan ko apne sath leke nohre me chakkar lagane aaya tha.

"Laadle tu aajkal dikhe he koni. Kade maame ke sath sukh dukh batla lia kar."

"Mama tera dukh toh mai bhi samjhu su. Lekin aaj kimme chintit lagge hai.", Bijender nivar ki buni lohe ki kursi par samne baith gaya.

"Dekh beta main tera mama kam aur dost jyada su. Dil me ek baat ghane tame teh thi lekin aaj thoda pareshan hu kyunki kimme thik na laag reha toh kisi durghatna teh pehla bata dena he thik hai.", Mohar Singh ne hukke ka pipe kapde se chamkate hue kapda ek taraf rakha aur apne lambe chaude bhanje ko dekhte hue kehne laga. Bijender ke dil me bhi mama ki aisi awaaj sunnkar ek darr sa baith gaya.

"Dekh beta, tu hai bhola arr hamesha seedhi soch wala arr tera mama bahot kapti. Lekin bera hai manne aajtak kade tera bura ni chaha.", Mohar Singh chupp ho gaya toh Bijender ashaant.

"Mama seedha bata mere pehalwan dimag mai ye aadi baat konya samajh aati."

"Tu jis se pyaar kare hai woh tere se koni kare. Jo tere se pyaar kare hai tu jaane koni. Baaki Sushila ne sirf tanne ek hathiyar ki tarya tayaar karya hai, bete ki tarah na. Mama arr Bhanja ne 2 ek jihse dil hove hai beta. 2 baar maa aave hai mama me.", Mohar Singh kahi gehri baat kar gaya tha.

"mama, main kise teh pyaar ni karda. Arr manne kaun pyaar kare hai. Maa wali baat maan li lekin aulaad hu uski main. Jo banega woh karunga uski khatir.", Bijender dimag wala nahi tha jo aisi baatein samajhta woh seedha aur ek raste chalne wala tha.

"Babita teri konni hove aaj likhwa le. Na Sushila kade hon degi. Anupama tere se jadd se pyaar kare hai jadd tu aathvi me tha aur wa teesri me. Aaj bhi tere kapde wah dhove hai arr press kare hai. Sirf teri roti ghar me wa bana ke uddeek kare hai ke tu khave fer waah nishchint ho ke took todd sake. Akshara fer bhi haand le hai lekin Anupama teri awaaj sune paache he bahar likde hai. Manne maaran ka jee kar reha hoga tera lekin jee aur kada karr le. Sushila ne jung shuru ki thi ya jad uska byaah bhi konya hoya tha. Char pariwar ek the arr khoob pyaar tha aapas me.", Bijender sach me gusse se apne mama ko dekh raha tha.

"Maar diye lekin poore 10 minute de manne bhi. Teri maa koni aati aade aaj."

"Main sunu hu tu bol mama."

"Sushila mare thi Shankar pe lekin uska pyaar thi Madhulata. Shankar ne teri maa bebe keh ke taal di thi is nohre me he jadd Fateh, Umed bahar daru peeve the. Ya gusse me kar gi byaar tere baap gail ar sath le mari Madhulata ne, Pandit ji ne nyu keh ke Shankar ne teri maa gail jabarjasti karan ki koshish ki. 3 pariwar jude the Rameswar ji ke gail arr Shankar chuskya bi koni jadd Madhulata teri chachi bana di gai. Baap ki ijjatt arr sabka bhala he sochya tha usne. Lekin Sushila arr Sheela ne milke jo aa aag lagai usme sab jhulas gaye fer. Goli chaali, Raghubir ka pariwar aadha khatam hoya arr fer bera ni ke kuch hoya jo main keh koni saku. Shankar gail mera 36 ka aakda hai ya baat main kahu hu. Main teri maa ki wajah se jail gaya arr paache usne teri maami fasa li. Lekin waa 2 aadmiya ki ladaai hai, pariwar ki konya. Teri maa Bindu gail milke teri daadi na marwa de toh kahiye beta. Yaa mahare baap ke bhi haath na aave thi toh hum toh khair chhote haa.", Mohar Singh ne hukke ko bujhte dekha toh kash kheenchne laga udhar Bijender ke chehre par hawaaiyan udd rahi thi.

"Mama, teri ek bhi baat saachi hoi toh main ghar chhod dunga."

"Tu ghar sambhal beta. Anupama ke kamre me ghuss ek bari arr dekh waa pagal ke chahve hai. Yu jayedaad ke 4 hisse hai lekin byaah kar arr 3 tere ek Sushila ka. Lekin jor jabardasti koni. Haan Shankar ke sath takkar lein ki socho ho toh ye Bheem-Bhum neere khassi hai uske syaami. Teri gardan pakad ke rubber si kheench dega is umar me bhi woh.", Bijender hairaan tha ye sunnkar

"Uska chhora lapetan ke chakkar me hu main.", Bijender ne seedhi baat ki.

"Bawligaand ho gaya tu. Kiski baat kare hai bera hai? Teri daadi ne phone laga liye arr number na ho toh mere se lele. Khudkhusi ka yu idea bhi teri maa ka hoga.", Mohar Singh shayad jarurat se jyada jaanta hua bhi chup rehta tha.

"Ke matlab hai mama? Woh chhota baalak hai 17-18 ka."

"Teri marji bhai. Aur sabne pata hai ke tu usne koni maare. Tera chacha laage hai na Shankar, teri maa ne toh byaah hoye baad bhi thaam donua ne koni rokya tha milan se. Bhadke toh bahot thi waah lekin maksad tha ke tu Shankar jissa bane. Bann na sakta jitne marji janam lele. Kaushalya ji Shankar ne jann sake thi aur jaamya bhi. Ek teri daadi ke syaami koi chaati chaudi karek baith saki hai toh Kaushalya chachi hai baaki sab toh aankh na tha ke dekh sakde.", Mohar fir se hukka gudgudane laga.

"Tu Arjun ke baare me kuch batave tha mama."

"Naa kuch na batata main. Meri bakwaas bahot hogi arr dekh koi aaya hai.", Ye Anupama he thi jo sar pe peela dupatta liye Bijender se najar na milati bada peetal ka gilas saamne karti hui boli.

"Ji aapka doodh lyaai thi.", Bijender ne aaj pehle baar dekha tha mama ki baat kuch hadd tak thik thi Anupama ke baare me. Woh najre nahi milati thi uske sath. Lekin Bijender ka har kaam wahi karti aai thi.

"Tu 2 minute aade baith Anupama mama gail main aau hu.", Sakuchati si woh baithne ki jagah aage bhainso ki taraf chal di jo Bijender ne bhi dekh lia tha. Woh apne baap ko kabhi pasand nahi karti thi. Bijender ghar ki dusri manjil par teji se chadhta hua Anupama aur Akshara ke kamro ke saamne aa khada hua. Anupama ka darwaja saankal se band tha jisko kholta woh andar aa gaya.

Saaf aur bilkul sambhal kar rakha kamra tha woh. Himmat karta woh bister ke pas aaya aur gadda takiye ke pas se uthate hue dekha toh waha 5x7"ki Bijender ki tasvir thi jispe lipstick lage honth chappe the. Fir idhar udhar dekh toh kuch khaas na mila lekin almari kholte he uski school ki shirt Anupama ke kapdo me ek taraf rakhi thi. Yaha 2 passport size ki dono ki photo almari me biche akhbaar ke neeche se usko mili aur sath he band dabbi me uski dil ke akaar ki photo par likha 'I Love B'. Bijender ke hath kaamp uthe. Woh sab waise he chhodta hua kamre se bahar chal dia, us hare telephone ko dekhe bina.

Annu aaj school nahi aai thi aur Arjun ko ye pata chala tha nayi Physics ki teacher ke aane pe. Ye ek 40 ke lagbhag umar ki mahila thi jo pehle din sirf pichla padhaya jaan-ne ke baad wahi dohra kar chali gai thi. Abhi ghanti he baji thi ki Miss Charul, jo pehle he bahar khadi thi andar aa gai.

"Chaliye fir sabhi line se ground me.", Arjun unki baat sunnkar baaki sabke he sath bahar nikal chala. Koi jaan-pehchan ka dikhawa kiye bina. Charul ne bhi koshish ki thi ki woh baat na he kare aise lekin andekhi se tees toh chubhi thi. Sabhi bahar aane ke baad apne mann-mutabik khel me lag gaye the lekin is baar Arjun basketball liye khud he court ki taraf ja raha tha. Miss Charul gor se dekh rahi thi usko kyonki baaki 7 ladke peeche he the. Unke waha aane se pehle he Arjun ne is kinare se 22 feet dur jaali ki taraf ball uchaal di thi.

"Waah. Sushil, dekha kya?", Ball lohe ke ring me sarr se ghusti court par aa giri lekin Arjun Dinesh ki baat na sunta baal ki taraf badha aur fir unki taraf mooh karte hue peeche se ball net me daalta Sushil ke pas aa khada hua. Woh sabhi aankhe faade dekh rahe the jo Arjun ne 1 minute me kia tha.

"Maaf karna dost. Meri game barabar ki nahi hai aur main ye khelna bhi nai chahta.", Baaki hatprabh se usko dekhne lage aur woh kinare par aa baitha. Taange pasarte hue.

"Bhai sahi keh raha hai woh. Game toh aisi hai jaise court ka inch-inch pata ho. Saale ke dole ni dekhe aur sateek throw bhi un bade shoulder ki wajah se he lagta hai. Aaj uske bina he khelte hai. Jo team best karegi Arjun next time dusri ke taraf se khelega.", Dinesh ki baat par baaki sabne bhi samarthan jataya lekin woh fir bhi hariaan toh the he.

"Dara rahe ho bacho ko?", Charul waha uske pas khud he chali aai thi. Lekin school ki wajah se barabar baith nahi sakti thi.

"Nahi. Bas bataya tha ke mere liye kuch bhi khel nahi hai. Jab khelta hu toh dil se nahi toh nahi."

"Naraaj ho na mujhse? I am really sorry Arjun. 3 din se main ye kehna chahti thi lekin na tumne mauka dia na Annu ne tumhe mera sandesh dia. Mujhe inki parwah nahi hai lekin sach me main apne kiye par sharminda hu. Annu ka dil bada hai ya tumhare kehne par usne mujhe maaf kia ho lekin meri galti maan-ne ke liye mujhe kisi jagah ki parwah nahi hai.", Charul kaan pakadne he wali thi ki Arjun ne naa me gardan hilate hue mana kar dia.

"Pyaar karne lagi ho mujhse? Saheli ka dost hu aur fir chhoti behan ke sath meri baaki ki girlfriends? Majaak ke waqt bhi tumhara dhyaan sirf is baat par tha ke kyon woh itni asaani se aapke dil ki baat keh rahi thi. Gulabi rumaal ko jo bhi tumne samjha woh shaayad gusse aur anjaane me. Lekin mujhe toh gussa nahi aaya bas waha rukta toh baat badh jarur jaati. Chhoti behan badi ko kuch mere saamne kehti toh apmaan lagta, dosti toot jaati Annu se kyonki waha dimag toh aapka bhi garam he tha. Kai baar dur jana he behtar hota hai bajaye ke wahi rukne se. Mujhe koi shikayat nahi hai.", Arjun apne dosto ki taraf dekhne laga jo ab poori koshish se throw ki practice kar rahe the bajaye ki match lagane ke.

"Annu sunday ko ja rahi hai aur usne school chhodd dia hai. Tum mile us se?"

"Haan kal 6 baje main uske sath he ghar pe tha. Woh samajhdar hai bas thoda dhyaan dena padta hai. Shayad aap uske baad he gai hongi unke ghar.", Arjun ne apne feete thode dheele karte hue paanv ghaas par seedhe kar liye the.

"Haan, dinner pe gai thi. Lekin usne tumhare baare me koi khaas baat nahi ki."

"Aapko behtar pata hoga kyo nahi ki? Dost toh purani hai aapki woh."

"Haan isliye ki usko firse sab yaad na aaye. lekin tum kya chahte ho? Main yaha tumse maafi maangne aai thi aur iski badi wajah hai ke mera dhyaan nahi lag raha. So nahi paa rahi hu aur jaise poori duniya ko meri parwah nahi hai."

"Fir Pink pasand hai aapko?", Arjun ka ye kaisa jawaab ya sawaal tha. Woh bina Charul ko dekhe aisi baat kar gaya tha ke Charul ektak usko dekhne lagi thi.

"You moron. Tum sach me ek ghatiya insaan ho. Main he jaane kya kya soch rahi thi lekin tum deserve nahi karte."

"Matlab pasand hai aapko? Atchi baat hai. Khoobsurat ho aur gussa bhi bahot hai aapme toh suit karta hai. Gora rang gulabi tabhi toh hota hai.",

"Kaisi baatein kar rahe ho tum? I'm your PE instructor and sports incharge."

"Than you must behave like one. this is an educational institution not our gossip coffee table Miss Charul. If you make me comfortable speaking unnecssary friendly things than I must go with the flow. Sorry. You can mark my absent or punish accordingly, within protocol.", Arjun ka ye swaroop bilkul alag tha. Charul chupchap waha se chal di thi. Aankho me aansu jaise taise roke woh najar bachati hui teacher's bathroom ki aur chal di. Idhar Arjun joote khol kar us ghaans ke maidaan ki taraf chal dia jo 200 meter lamba tha. Halke kadmo se chalta woh khudko sehaj kar raha tha aur fir kameej bahar karta daudne ke liye bane andkaar gole me bhaagne laga.

"Ye pagal hai kya? Nange paanv kabse daud raha hai. Lekin stamina bahot hai yaar dekh toh jara.", Ye ladki unki he class ki thi aur Koyal se baat kar rahi thi Arjun ko lagatar 15 minute se bhagte dekh kar. Charul bhi ab idhar seedhiyo ke paas aa gai thi aur inki baatein sunai de gai thi usko. Ek najar Arjun ko dekh kar woh Koyal ki baat sunn-ne lagi.

"Punishment hogi jaise Miss Annu ne di thi. Atcha hai lekin thoda seedhi baat kar deta hai bechara. Miss Charul ne bhi laga dia aaj daudne isko.", Koyal baat khatam karti peeche baithne aai toh apni teacher ko dekh kar seham si gai. Fir sorry bolti thodi dur jaa kar kitab khole baith gai.

'Ye aise nahi maanega kabhi. Har baat ki hadd tak jaane ka junoon hai toh fir aise he sahi.' Miss Charul Arjun ko dekhti hui khudse keh rahi thi. Woh eksaar raftar se ab 20 minute se jyada der se daud raha tha.

"Class may go now.", Charul ki is awaaj par sabhi chupchap line se andar ki taraf badh liye aur Arjun jaise apni dhun me he laga raha. Ground khali hote he Charul uski taraf chal di.

"Ruk jao Arjun.", Is awaaj se jaise woh dheema hota kuch aage ja kar ruk gaya. Kameej geeli ho kar paseena tapka rahi thi aur chehra abhi bhi shaant lekin paseene se sana hua.

"Ji Miss."

"Sorry. Aur main confuse thi. Mujhe tumse baat karni hai school ke baad."

"Aaj possible nahi hai. Aur aapko sorry kehne ki jarurat bhi nahi."

"Bhav kha rahe ho?", Charul ne uske chehre ko dekhte hue kaha

"Ladki nai hu main. Aur aaj jaruri kaam hai isliye mumkin nahi. Kal main samay nikaal lunga agar Annu se milna na hua toh."

"Annu fir beech me aa gai? Mujhe tumse baat karni hai, akele me."

"Thik hai Annu kamre se chali jayegi. Kal 3 baje uske he ghar. Ab chalta hu.", ghanti ki awaaj sunte he woh andar daud gaya. Charul ko ek aur pareshani me chhod kar.

Baaki period bhi aasha anurup he gujre lekin chutti ke waqt Menaka khud Arjun ke sath school se nikli thi. Uski car se. Arjun araam se baitha car ke dashboard me rakha samaan dekh raha tha jo kuch khaas na tha.

"Sab thik toh hai?"

"Haan, kyo aapke sath thik nahi hai kya?", Arjun ne jaise he Menaka ko sadak par dhyaan dete dekha toh sawaal kar lia.

"Sab thik hai. Mera matlab tha ke tum aaye nahi na ghar isliye."

"Ab Manju ke samne toh main kuch karne se raha. Parso aaunga fir dekhte hai ke lunch karwati ho aap ya dinner.", Arjun ki masti dekh woh bhi gambhir mahol khatam karti hansne lagi.

"Tum sach me alag he ho yar. Shaam ko kya irada hai fir?"

"Stadium aur fir ghar. Aaj sirf taaiji hai ghar pe aur aarti didi. Aap bhi chalo na, wahi khana kha lena."

"Nahi Arjun, aaj nahi kal. Chalo tum utro main nikalti hu. Manju ke sath thoda market jana hai. Milti hu jald.", Ghar ke bahar usko utarti woh aage chal di lekin Arjun khada dekhta raha jaati hui Menaka ko. Menaka bechain thi aur kuch chupa bhi rahi thi kyonki Manju ki scooty uske ghar ke bahar khadi thi is waqt.

Update 97
Kalyug ka Chakravyuh

"Mujhe tumse baat karni hai. Kya hum thodi der akele me baat kar sakte hai Arjun?", Dopahar ka khana khatam karte he Arjun uthne laga tha. Samne baithi Manju ne jhooth bol dia tha ke woh ghar se he khaa ke aai. Idhar Aarti ne bhi khaane ke baad rasoi sambhal li thi. Bartan, chulhe ki safaai aur Lalita ji apne kamre me chali gai thi, kyonki woh hamesha wahi khana khati thi.

"Tum sath he chalne wali ho stadium toh hum waha baat kar lenge Manju. Abhi sharir thoda thaka hua hai aur agar araam nahi kia toh shaam ki practice prabhavit hogi.", Arjun ne halki si muskaan dete hue Manju ko jawaab dia aur fir apne dada ji ke kamre me aa kar leit gaya. Manju ab thodi aur pareshan ho gai thi lekin woh jaahir na karte hue Aarti ke he pas chali gai. Arjun hath ke neeche takiya dabaye leit chuka tha.

3 baj rahe the aur aamtaur par garmiyo ke shuruwaat bhi pradesh me thodi tej he rehti thi is waqt. Log-bag aise samay gaanv-dehat me ghar me andar rehte hai ya khet me peid ke neeche araam karte hai. Lekin swargiya Rammehar ke yaha iske viprit mahol tha. Sushila ne Mohar Singh ko kuch jaruri kaam se agle shehar bhej dia tha aur iske peeche bhi uska maksad kuch aur he tha. Yaha gaanv ke bahar ek purani haveli me woh 5 mardo ke beech akeli mahila thi lekin dekhne se yahi pratit hota tha ke sabhi uske shubhchintak he the.

"Bebe, is baar katai kaam khatam he kar dena hai. Na yu Rameshwar ka jhanjhat arr na teri saas Chandro ka.", Ye 45-50 saal ka robila adhed Sushila ka mamera bhai tha aur jaise kareebi raajdar.

"Narsingh, meri pareshani ki wajah hai Bheem, Shabnam arr Bijender. Rameshwar ka pauta toh maaran khatir 8-10 tayaar hai lekin Bijender pehla uske gail akele bhidega baad me Bheem kaam kar dega uska. Lekin Bheem chahve hai aadhi jayedad, Babita arr Menaka. Shabnam raand hai jo mere khayaal se kaal manne bhi raste se hata sake hai kyunki sirf mere dhore he uske saboot hai.", Baaki paancho dhyaan se dekh rahe the Sushila ko

"Bijender?", Narsingh ne itna he poocha.

"Woh bawla ho chukya hai. Babita pasand hai arr shaadi ki ratt laag ri hai uske."

"Bebe, zinda gaad diunga je usne koi aisi harkat karan ki sochi bhi. Naam maati me milavega kunbe ka arr biradari ka.", Ye toh pal me he angare sa dehakne laga tha aur baaki sabke bhi chehre waise ho gaye the.

"Shaant reh. 2 saal jail me bhejan ki sochu thi arr itni der me Babita ka byaah bhi kade kar he devange aapni pehchaan me. Tu arr thaam baaki sab dhyaan dio ke jagah pe 6 baje pahuchna hai. Bheem ka kaam khatam karna hai arr fer uss chhore ki lash Rameshwar ki gali me fenkni hai. Shabnam hath chadhe toh sasuri kar dio saaf waah bhi.", Sushila sach me he jehar ugal rahi thi. Uska iraada he nahi tha kisi ko bhi chhodne ka.

"Bebe fer Bindu ne ke kahvegi?", Ye ek aur tagda sa adhed tha jo kursi par baithe hue bhi baaki sabse 5-6 inch uncha he tha.

"Kaale, ek kaam kar fer Bijender ne bhi kaat diye arr Menaka ne bhi. Sala sabut ae koni chhodna arr Arjun Sharma bi godaam me mara milega toh apne aap maamla hawa pakad lega.", Sushila ne ek paanv kursi ke upar rakhte hue thuddi ke neeche hath laga lia.

"Bahot dur ki sochhi se tanne. Menaka ka chakkar Pandit ke paute se, Bijender ka Shabnam gail arr Bheem ne badle ke chakkar me yu kar dia lekin mara gaya unke sath he. Chokhi kahani milegi ya toh. Lekin baaki sab dhyaan rakhio ke koi sa kisi ki najar me naa chadh je. Pehla he saali police kutte ki tarah paache laag ri hai.", Narsingh ke palle ye khooni kaand padd gaya tha.

"Fer ek chhota sa kaam rahvega lekin woh toh main aap kar liyungi. Bindu ki dusri chhori Muskaan ke bhi parr kaatne padenge, jaane waah bhi bahot kuch hai.", Sushila kya karne wali thi ye toh bas wahi jaanti thi lekin kitno ko maut dene ka iraada banaye thi ye khatarnaak baat thi.

"Woh bhi ho je ga bebe. Tu 13 din dukh me bita ke fer kunba kattha kar liye. Mahara bhi sabkuch tera hai, Rammehar fufa ka bhi arr teri sasuraad ka bhi. 40 gaam kabje me aaye paache toh tu he ticket leve gi. Fer main dekhu us doctor ne arr uske ghar ki lugaiya ne.", Narsingh ki aisi baat sunnkar Sushila hansne lage.

"Manne yaad hai ke teri najar uski lugai pe hai. Yaad bhi hai kitne saal pehla dekhi thi.?

"Aaho. Aaj lak yaad hai waah arr sach kahu toh itni jaanleva aurat na dekhi bebe kade.", Narsingh jaise yaadon me Rekha ji ka chehra dhyaan karne laga tha.

"Chaal waa sab bahot dur ki baat hai. Filhal toh aaj ki ghadi dhyaan me raakho. Thodi si bhi chook hoi aur saare sapne khatam.", Sushila waha se khadi ho kar paidal he gaanv ki taraf chal nikli.

"Narsingh, aapni baat yaad rakhiye. Main yu kaam ki keemat leke rahunga. Tu mukar konya sakda.", Sath he baithe itni der se shaant is lambe chaude adhed ki baat sunn kar Narsingh daant dikhane laga.

"Bhai Sushila ki leni hai ne? Le liye. Yaad rakhio koi sa ni bachna chahiye Sushila ne chhod ke. Raat ne haveli bhi saaf kar deni hai.", Narsingh ki aisi baat par woh lamba vyakti bol utha.

"Babita ki pehle maarunga fer usne maarunga. Thaam log bhi dekh lio 3-4 hai unki haveli me. Junn si hath chadhe koi reham ni arr jitna dil kar kario fer ..... samajhdar ho kunsa pehli baar karoge. Hahaha.", Kaala dil aur mann ka bhi kala he tha aur in sabme kahi taqatwar. Ye dusre raste se chal pade tayaari karne ke liye.
.
.
"Gollu bhai, ke lage hai ke jo bhi hon laag reha hai woh thik se? Mama ki baat sachi hai lekin dusri taraf maa hai meri. Usne beech mai konni chhoddu.", Bijender 4 baje he godaam me aa chuka tha aur ye jagah ab pehle si dhool-mitti wali se viprit andar se saaf suthri dikh rahi thi.

"Main salah konni de saku bhai bas itna kahunga ke zindagi me kade kade jaruri nahi ke jo paida kare woh sahi hove arr jo nuksaan kare woh galat. Mama bhi shatir hai arr taai toh khair ke kahu. Fer tera Bheem ke baare me yu sab batana toh manne bhi pareshaan kare hai yar. Tu khud soch ke main kisi chhori gail dushkarm karu toh tu ke karega? Aapni aakhyan ke syaami yu sab thodi der paache honn wala hai."

"Gollu tu kade ehsa koni kar sake aur manne bhi yaa he baat pareshan karan laag ri hai ke waa Menaka Bheem ki sagi chhoti bebe hai arr vidhwa akeli. Arjun uste pyaar kare hai ya waah us ladke ne toh baat sahi hai lekin Bheem jo karega woh toh hatya teh bhi bada apraadh se Gollu."

"Bheem ne haam konya rok sakde ya baat dhyaan rakhiye. Dusri taai khud agar yu karwaan laag ri hai toh hum toh khud-ba-khud shamil ho gye apraadh me. Waise yu khel badda hai hamari soch se. Wah teri England wali bebe bhi toh jugat bhida ri hogi kimme?"

"Haan, is sabme toh waah hai he lekin Maa ke gail milke wa Daadi Chandro ka kaam karan aali hai. Kunn karega yu toh bera bhi koni arr daadi ke kuch hoya toh Maa jo itne saal se chahve hai woh usne mil javega.", Dono kuch pal khamosh se baith gaye the ek taraf. Kuch pal shanti barkaraar rahi aur fir samne wala shutter thoda upar hua aur ye 4-5 log andar aa khade hue.

"Ke haal hai Bheem kaka? Raam-Raam choti daadi.", Sheela Devi aur uska bhimkaye beta Bheem unki taraf aa rahe the. Peeche he 3 aur aadmi the jo Bijender ki najro me he the. Teeno he sapaat-sakht chehre wale lambe chaude. Lekin yaha khade sabhi me Bheem alag he najar aa raha tha. Uska dehati lekin chauda badan Bijender se 25 he tha. Sakht chehre par lambi ghani mooche aur gale me sone ka chokor kasa tabeej kaale dhaage me piroya hua. Woh sachmuch he jaise Mahabharat se nikal kar aa khada hua tha unke samne.

"Daadi ke hove hai re? Tu mera hum-umar hai arr meri maa kaaki ki. Kaaki bulaye kar arr aade toh hal-chal badalan khatir katthe hoye ha fer araam teh haveli pe karange saari baat.", Bheem idhar udhar dekhne laga fir seedha us kamre me ghuss kar waha se lakdi ka takht kagaz ki tarah mutti me pakde is bheetar wale pakke godam me bicha kar uspe baith gaya.

"Thik baat hai.", Bijender ko gussa toh aaya lekin woh dusri taraf dekhne laga jaha woh 3 aadmi ab sath wale khulle kache hisse ki taraf chal diye the. Jaise ye jagah unki he thi.

"Teri maa koni aave ke beta?", Sheela Devi Bheem ki bagal me baithi in dono ko dekhti hui Bijender se pooch rahi thi.

"Aave hai maa bhi Kaaki. Shabnam bebe ne leke waah aade aan he wali hogi.", Bheem uski baat sunkar muskuraya aur pichle kamre se Sushila idhar he chalti hui aa khadi hui. Peeche he dupatte se mooh dhake Shabnam khadi thi. Ye gali wala rasta tha jo Bheem ko bhi abhi pata laga tha.

"Ghani lambi umar hai teri Sushila."

"Bera ni umar lambi hai ya teri jubaan kaali hai Sheela. Chaal tu andar kamre me aaja arr Bheem ke irada hai Menaka ne aade bulaan ka? 5 baj chuke hai sab nibta ke safai bhi karni padegi" Sushila ke baat par Bheem ke ek aankha halki si kaampne lagi thi.

"Kaaki, usne aade ka pata dena thik konya arr ghar pe jaa ke thaa ke lyana toh khel he kharaab kar dega."

"Matbal? Tanne kimme badlav kia hai ke?"

"Haan Kaki jaruri tha badlav karna bhi. Lekin usne khud konya bera ke waah aade apne aap aan laag ri hai.", Sushila achraj se dekhne lagi Bheem ko.

"Chandro admit hai haspataal me arr aakhiri saans leve hai. Laadli ne dekhe bina na marti aur ladli likad chuki hai sab bhool ke apni badi maa teh milan. Aade se he jaavegi.", Bheem ke chehre par kutil muskaan aa chuki thi. Aur baaki sab usko hairani se dekh rahe the siway Sheela devi ke. Bijender khoon ka ghoont pee ke reh gaya kyonki ab woh teen aadmi bhi udhar he aa khade hue the.

"Yu kis tariya ekdum se?", Sushila ab Bheem ki taraf he aa khadi hui thi aur Shabnam kapde ke peeche se he muskurati sab dekhne lagi.

"Tere sath wali lomdi se pooch kaaki, najar toh isne rakhwa raakhi thi. Main toh maa ne milwaan leke gaya tha. Fer haspataal se he Richa ne phone lagaya mahare jaaye baad Menaka dhore.", Abhi Bheem bata he raha tha ke saamne se murchit haalat me Menaka ko 2 log pakde hue andar chale aaye. Maathe par khoon beh raha tha jaha ek aadmi ne kapda rakha hua tha. Bheem furti se khada ho kar un dono ke samne aa gaya.

"Bhaan ke lode yo ke kar dia? teri maa chodu.", Ek ke gaal par kass ke jhaapad jadte he woh jameen par ja gira. Dusre ne khud he Menaka Bheem ki taraf kar di.

"Ruki koni Bheem bhai sahab toh gaadi ke sheeshe pe eent maarni padi. Apna ek aadmi toh gaadi ke neeche bhi aa gaya. Lekin ya bas behosh hui hai.", Bheem pal me he thanda ho gaya tha.

"Kisi ne dekhya arr gaadi?"

"Kise ne koni dekhya bhai ji. Koi aave he koni aade aur gaadi bahar khadi hai."

"Andar kar tawli usne. Maa le lode koi kaam sahi teh ni karde. Iske kuch hoya toh thaari maa chodd dunga.", Menaka ko phool ki tarah uthate hue usne diwan par daal dia. Bheem ki halat dekhte hue khud Sushila ne uske maathe ko saaf karte hue ghaav dekha aur takiya faad ke dher sari rooi waha laga kar safed leer se patti bandh di. Is dauraan Sheela devi aur Shabnam bhi madad kar rahi thi. Gaadi andar karte he shutter atche se band kar dia gaya tha. 10 minute baad sabkuch shaant ho chuka tha.

"Bolu thi na ke plan mat badle kar. Lekin tu kade sune hai arr Shabnam ke jarurat thi is sabki? Buddhiya maarni thi toh maar deti lekin sab eksath nahi karna tha.", Sushila jabde bheenche bolne lagi toh Bheem bhi najre jhukaye khada ho gaya.

"Mausi, main mera kaam kar rahi hu. Agar Bheem ne aise Menaka ko uthana tha toh main isko bhi nahi batati ye baat. Lekin parshan mat ho aap. Ye jagah aisi hai ke log idhar aane se katrate hai aur Bheem bhi ki koi bacha toh hai nahi. Ab aapka kaam kitna hua hai?", Shabnam par jaise koi prabhav he na pada tha Sushila ke krodh ka. Woh Bijender ko dekhne lagi toh jaise Bijender ko kuch pata he na tha.

"Dekhe ke hai be-akal. Tera kaam koni hoya. 6 bajan wale hai arr dushman ka kimme pata koni.", Sushila ke gusse ke bawjood Bijender shaant he raha.

"Taai woh Bhoora usne len gaya tha 4 baje. Lekin stadium se chhora sadhe 5 ya 6 baje likde kare hai toh thodi der me thaare samne he hoga.", Gollu ki baat sunnkar bhi Sushila ka gussa kam na hua. Lekin Menaka ki karah sunn kar ek baar fir se sabka dhyaan uski taraf ho gaya. Sheela ne jhatt se Menaka ke mooh par kapda laga dia aur Sushila ne peeche se baandhte hue awaaj band kar di. Woh uthne ki koshish karti us se pehle he peeche se dono kalai pakad kar Bheem ne hath bhi takiye ke kapde se kass kar bandh diye.

"Mooh bandhne ki jarurat nahi hai waise. Dono taraf khandhar hai aur peeche wali gali bhi viraan hai. Bypas yaha se 5 kilometer hai jaha shehar ki aakhiri chalu imarat hai.", Bijender Menaka ki aankho me jamane bhar ka dard dekh raha tha. Woh chatpata bhi nahi pa rahi thi.

"Khol dunga bebe. Sab khol dunga aur tu chaah ke bhi nahi cheekhegi.", Bheem ki aisi baat sunkar khoone sane chehre par wahi khauf ke bhaav aa gaye jaise usko ummeed thi.
.
.
"Chalta hu bhai bas bahut practice ho gai.", Idhar Arjun paseene me lathpath apna abhyaas khatam karta hua bench par baith kar glucose pee raha tha aur Balbir usko aaj rukne ke liye mana raha tha.

"Bhai 7 se 10 ka show hai. Chal na yar, Suman jabhi chalegi agar Manju sath jayegi toh."

"Toh bhai Manju ko le jao yar. Lekin mere ghar aaj koi nahi hai toh jana jaruri hai. Taaiji akeli hongi.", Arjun fir kapde badalne andar chal dia aur Balbir bhi. Kuch samay baad he dono saaf kapdo me patri par chalte hue stand ki taraf jaa rahe the.

"Arjun, suno jara.", Manju ne pas aate hue kaha toh Balbir thoda peeche ho gaya.

"Mere sath chalo, jaruri baat hai.", Is baar woh thodi dhimi awaaj me Arjun ka hath pakad kar aage le jane lagi.

"Chalte hai pareshan kyu ho rahi ho.?", Arjun ne araam se jawab dia aur Balbir ko jaane ka ishara karta woh motorcycle nikal kar Manju ko peeche baithne ko bola. Abhi dono stadium se nikal kar pehle chowk par he aaye the ki ye tagda pehalwan Arjun ke hath me kagaj pakdata ek taraf ja kar khada ho gaya.

'Chupchap gaadi me baith. Menaka', Arjun ne stand lagate hue wahi motorcycle khadi kar di. Apna bag Manju ko deta woh hontho par ungli rakhne ke baad us ladke ke barabar khadi kaale sheeshe wali zen car ki taraf badh gaya. Manju ke chehre par ek darr saaf jhalak raha tha. Lekin gaadi ko jaate dekh woh bas number padh saki. Arjun ko usne agaah bhi kia tha ke Menaka ke sath uski bhi jaan khatre me hai lekin woh fir bhi uski baat maan-ne ki bajaye manmani karta raha. Ab aafat aa he chuki thi.

'Beep-Beep' ki is dheemi awaaj ko sunte he Manju hosh me aai. Woh abhi bhi motorcycle ke pas he jami hui khadi thi lekin bag ke andar se aai is awaaj ne uska dhyaan bhang kia. Turant chain kholti woh upar wali jeb dekhne lagi. Yaha ek kagaz aur ye chota sa yantra tha calculator jaisi screen wala. 'Is number par phone karo.' Motorala likha ye kala sa yantra ek sandesh dikha raha tha aur Manju ne woh kagaj dekha toh waha bhi ek aur number likha tha jiske neeche Arjun ka sandesh tha.
'Pareshan mat hona aur is par phone karke bata do Arjun nikal gaya hai. Stadium ke guard room se phone karke Tum ghar chali jana. Love you.", Manju bhochakki reh gai ye padhte he. Matlab Arjun pehle se tayaar tha aur woh khud he Manju ko dur rakhe the.

"Aap phone kar lijiye. Motorcycle main pahucha dunga.', Ye 6 feet ka safed kameej aur neeli patloon me khada vyakti Manju ke liye kisi jinn ki tarah tha. Jaane kaha se ekdum aaya aur Arjun ki motorcycle lekar university ki taraf chala gaya. Manju bhagti hui stadium ki taraf udd chali.

.
.
Hath bandh do lekin aankhen kyu band kar rahe ho bhai? Main itni sharafat se toh sath chal raha hu tumhare.", Arjun ke dono hath nylon ki dori se bandhne ke baad uski agal bagal baithe pehalwano ne bina kuch jawaab diye safed kapda aankho par bandh dia.

"Atchi baat hai.", Arjun muskurata hua araam se peeth seat par tikata baith gaya. Woh dono pehalwan thoda hairaan the ki yaha woh apharan karke le ja rahe hai aur ye ladka unhi par muskura raha hai.

"Bhoore, iska ke chakkar hai?"

"Bhai Sushila tai ne iska kaam karna hai. Main toh jaanu hu ke ladka shareef hai par ke kar saka ha.?", Ye gaadi chalata hua pehalwan jaise hamdardi jata raha tha Arjun ke sath.

"Waise bhaiya aap thode din pehle apne dost ke sath mujhe he dekhne toh aaye the stadium. Woh majra alag tha na.?", Arjun ki baat sunn kar ek pal ko woh chup raha fir bola.

"Galatfehmi ho gai thi chhote bhai. Najar maarne aaye the ke woh ladka kaun hai jisne Bijender bhai par hath uthaya tha.", Bhoora desi bhasha ki jagah saral hindi me jawab dene laga.

"Galatfehmi nahi thi aapki. Main he tha jisne Bijender pehalwan par hath uthaya tha jab woh Vikas bhai se ladne aaye the.", Arjun ke is khulase se charo ek pal usko dekhne lage fir Bhoore ne najar sadak par kar di. Halka ubad-khabadd rasta tha ye bypass shuru hone par.

"Maut intjaar kar rahi hai aur tu yaha deenge haak raha hai. Bijender beech se cheer ke rakh dega tujhe lekin woh nahi maarne wala. Par aur bahot log hai aisi itcha liye waha.", Arjun khamosh ho gaya tha ab. Jaise uska dhyaan mahol ko samajhne me rum chuka ho. Baaki sab bhi aage kuch nahi bole. Ye chhoti si gaadi andar se jaandar he thi. Aur jald he woh palbhar ke liye ruki. Aage se bayi taraf ka darwaja khulne aur band hone ki awaaj ke baad 30 second baad he thoda aage chalti fir band ho gai.

"Nikalo re bahar isne. Apna kaam khatam toh aade rukne ka koi fayeda nahi.", Lekin Bhoore ki baat khatam hui he thi ki usko ek taraf dhakelta hua Bheem aage badha aur Arjun ki gardan pakad kar usko jameen par gira dia.

"Koi kahi na ja raha jitne kaam khatam na ho jata. Is behanchod ki chaati main sabke saamne paadunga.", Arjun aankho par bandhi patti ke sath he uthne laga tha ke peeth par ek tej praaha kia Bheem ne aur ek baar fir woh jameen par ja laga.

"Bheem, yu mera arr iska mamla hai. Tu baad me dekhiye.", Bijender dono ke beech aa khada hua tha. Bheem ek baar usko apni aag ugalti aankho se dekhne laga fir Sushila ko. Bijender ne Arjun ki aankho se patti kholi he thi ki Sushila bhi idhar chali aai.

Arjun ke honth aur maathe se halka khoon aa raha tha. Uska chehra upar karti woh gusse se Arjun ko dekh rahi thi.

"Bijender main toh kahu su ke Bheem ne he yu khatam karan de. Tu ek taraf ho ja."

"Na maa. Shankar arr mere baap me bhi mukabla hoya tha arr aaj main bhi iske khoon ki garmi dekhna chahu hu. Baad me Bheem jo marji kare iske sath lekin mauka jarur dunga isne main.", Bijender apni baat keh raha tha udhar Arjun se 40 feet dur Menaka ke gale pe chaaku rakhe Sheela devi khadi thi. Arjun ke hath khulne ke bawjood bandhe hue the.

"Bebe, agar tu meri baat maan leti toh main is sab me naa padta. Khair tu dagabaj ho gai toh ke baat lekin main pehle isne maarunga fer iski lash ke bagal me tere se pyaar gail apna naya rishta banaunga. Aashiq hai na tera yu? Bhai me ke kami thi jo yu pasand kia.", Bheem chalta hua Menaka ke peeche aa khada hua aur Sheela devi ek taraf ho gai. Gardan par chaaku ab Bheem rakhe hue tha. Menaka ki mooh par bandhi patti hatate hue woh hans raha tha.

"Arjun.. mujhe maaf karrr do.. Bhaiya aapne jo karna hai mere sath kar lijiye. Main sath jaane ko tayaar hu hamesha ke liye. Please isko jaane dijiye.", Sheela devi na ek karara jhaapad Menaka ke mooh par jadd dia uski baat sunte he.

"Haraamjadi mahina na hoya vidhwa hoye aur yaar banaye baithi hai. Itni khaaj thi toh manne kehti tere pe yu saand main khud chadhwa deti. Yu Rameshwar ka pilla pasand aaya tanne.", Menaka ke honth se khoon ki bund thoddi tak aane lagi thi aur Arjun ke chehre par halka sa dard ubhar aaya. Woh jameen par ghutne tikaye khamosh sa aankho ko band kiye baitha raha.

"Dekh jara Shankar ka nakli khoon. Yu pasand aaya tha jo na muaqabla karan ne tayaar laage hai arr na teri khatir ek lafz likdya iske mooh se.", Sushila jaane kis baat par bhadak uthi thi jo ek taraf rakha dedh inchi ka lohe ka pipe Arjun ke sar par maarti uske saamne thook kar aage badh gai. Sar is chott se kuch pal ke liye jameen par tika lekin tapakte khoon ke sath he woh fir se chehra saamne karte hue unhe dekhne laga. Pipe jaise utna majboot na tha ya Arjun ka sar patthar hoga. Khoon toh nikla tha lekin koi bada ghaav jaise kuch na hua.

"Jab sab thakk jao toh bata dena.", Arjun ne Menaka ke subakte hue chehre ko dekhte hue bas itna he kaha.

"Poore 5 minute hai tere pas. Ya tu manne maar de Arjun ya main tera haal kharaab kar dunga. Baad me tera toh nishchit hai marna.", Bijender uko khada karne ke liye baaju pakad kar upar utha raha tha lekin jaise sharir me jaan na thi ya Arjun achanak se chattan bann gaya. Arjun ne is pal me Bijender ko jaise dekha woh pehle thoda jhemp sa gaya fir Arjun ki aankon me jalalat dekhte he uski chaati me ghutna maarta hua cheekhne laga.

"Tu ghana akde hai? Main sochu tha ke tu samajh dar hoga lekin tu marna he chahve hai." Jameen par gire Arjun ko ghaseet kar woh godaam aur is farsh ke beech wale mitti ke hisse tak ghaseet laya.

"Sushila bua, khush toh bahut hongi aap. Apne bete ke sath vishwasghat kar sakti ho toh baaki jitne yaha hai unki bhi bali chadhane ka prabandh karke aai hogi.?" Arjun apne hontho par aaya khoon mitti me thookta hua Sushila ko dekhne laga. Arjun ki aisi muskaan dekh kar Sushila ka rang udd gaya tha.

"Ke ke bake hai tu? Maut sar pe khadi hai aur bhashan deve hai manne. Koi bua na lagti main teri."

"Babita aur Bijender ka rishta toh kabhi hone nahi wala, ye moorakh aulaad waise he mere sath mehnat kar raha hai. Aur jo khud ladki ke gardan par chaaku lagaye khada hai woh khud ko Bheem samajhta hai. Thooo hai aise namardo par.", Arjun jameen se uth khada hua tha aur kapde jhaadta Bijender ko ghoorne laga.

"Maa yo kis tarah jaane hai ya baat? Arr yu tanne bua kehke bulave hai matlab jhooth toh koni bole hai.", Bijender ki baat khatam hui aur udhar se Bheem saand ki tarah dahadta Arjun par lapka. Menaka ki gardan par koi chaku na tha kyonki Bheem Arjun par us se he prahaar karne laga tha.

'Dhaddaammm", Jis raftaar se Bheem uski taraf aaya tha us se doguni raftar ke sath woh zen ka sheesha todta hua uske andar ja fansa. Arjun ki kalai ke upar ye 2 inch lamba ghaav jarur bann gaya tha lekin koi parwah na thi. Baaki sabka jaise halak sookh chuka tha Bheem ki halat dekh kar. Aanan fanan me Sheela devi ne ye dusra chaaku Menaka ki gardan par kass dia tha. Halka khoon bahar challak aaya tha waha se. Arjun ek baar fir se asahaye ho gaya tha. Jo 3 aadmi Bheem ke sath aaye the ab apna dum dikhate woh rooi ki tarah Arjun par laat-ghunse barsate pil pade. Bijender apni maa ko dekh raha tha jo muskura rahi thi aur Menaka ka behta khoon dekh jameen par gire maar khate Arjun ka uske prati pyaar.

"Behanchodd dur hatto. Gollu maar in kameen loga ne.", Bijender jhotte ki tarah un teeno se bhidd gaya tha. Aur uski awaaj sunn kar itni der se sar jhukaye khada Gollu bhi apne dost ki raah par chal dia. Bhoora aur uske dost aage aaye aur idhar ek ke baad ek 6 goliyan us rivolver se chhoot gai. Shabnam ke hath me dhuaa choddti khali rivolver thi aur idhar jameen par Bhoora, Gollu, Bheem ka ek aadmi aur Bijender ka woh pehalwan dost jo Arjun ko leke aaya tha gire pade the. Shabnam koi nishanchi na thi lekin 6 goliyon me 4 log usne gira diye the. Mahol poora badal chuka tha. Shabnam abhi bhi trigger daba rahi thi is ummeed se ki kahi se koi aur goli chale aur nishane par aaya Arjun bhi apne anjaam tak pahuch jaaye.

"Shabnam didi. Ye kaam aapne aate he kyo nahi kar dia tha? Ye sab bewajah maare na jaate.", Arjun me uthne ki taqat na thi lekin woh gardar uthata hua Shabnam ko jaise jaleel kar raha tha.

"Minde, apni rivoler likad ke le aa. Saale saare maarne hai ye. Koi bachke na ja sake.", Bheem jaise taise bahar nikal kar gaadi pakde khada tha. Apne ek aadmi se usne pehle he rivolver plot wale hisse me rakhwai thi ye soch kar ki agar koi bahar aaye toh chatt se he tapka dena. Woh aadmi bhi furti se us aur bhaga. Bijender jameen par gire apne dono dosto ka sar thaame baitha tha. Gollu ki saansein chal rahi thi kyonki goli peit me thi lekin Bhoora shant ho chuka tha. Ek goli seene me aur dusri uske dil ke thik upar lagi thi. Pakka farsh khoon se aise bhara tha jaise balti bhar ke waha udel dia gaya ho.

Agla drishya ekdum alag tha jaha Bheem ka madadgar jameen par rigadta hua andar aa raha tha aur uske aage sadhe 6 feet ka ye daadhi wala 45-50 ke kareeb ka yamraj sa aadmi jisne Minde ki taang pakad rakhi thi.

"Mahol toh jyada kharaab kar dia tumne Sushila. Aur Sheela woh chaku hata lo nahi toh sooni maang tumhare he khoon se bharne me mujhe kasht nahi hoga.", Sheela aur Sushila ke paseene chhoot gaye the apne saamne is pahaad ko khade dekh kar. Bheem ke dono aadmio ke chehre par sateek goli marte hue usne apni baat pukhta kar di thi ki woh Shabnam ki tarah koi kacha nishanchi na tha. Sheela ek taraf khadi hui aur Shabnam ne is taraf se woh lohe ka pipe poori jaane se is vyakti ke sar par maarne ka upkrarm kia.

"Jaanti mujhe toh ye cheshta nahi karti ladki. Ye tinke Umed Singh se takra kar mudd sakte hai lekin hame kharoch bhi nahi de sakte.", Shabnam ko uske haal par chhodta Umed Singh sher si chaal chalta bade araam se Bijender ke sar par aa khada hua.

"Beta bahar gaadi khadi hai aur driver bhi. Isko hospital le jao ye zinda hai.", Bijender ke aansuo se geele chehre par bade pyaar se hath ferte hue Umed Singh ne jaise usko himmat di aur baaki dono dost bhi teji se lapke. Aanan fanan me shutter kholte woh Gollu ko uthaye bahar nikal liye.

"Toh Bheem Singh, baaj nahi aate na tum. Halat toh tumhari bhi thik nahi hai lagta hai kisi naye shikari se takra gaye is baar.", Pehli baar chehre par muskaan aai thi Umed Singh ke aur woh apna bhoora ray-ban utarte hue Bheem ka chehra pakad kar aise dekhne lage jaise doctor mareej ka nirikshan kar raha ho.

"Arjun, Menaka ko khol do aur in teeno ko bandh do. Chalo fir kaam dhanda karte hai, bahot samay kharaab ho gaya.", Umed Singh ne us chasme me he pratibimb dekha tha Shabnam ko jo bhagna chahti thi lekin awaaj aur rivolver apni taraf dekh kar wahi rukk gai. Arjun halka sa ladkhadata hua Menaka ki aur badha. Rassi kholte he woh uske gale lag chuki thi. Aur yahi Umed Singh se galti ho gai jo woh bahar se aate in 5 badmasho ka na dekh saka lekin furti se ek taraf hota woh unki goli se jarur bach gaya tha. Lekin Sheela devi itni khushkismat na thi. Gale ko cheerti woh goli bahot thi uska sharir jameen par girane ke liye.

Narsingh ke pas pistol thi aur baaki 4 ke hath me ek talwar aur 3 lohe ki rod. Aur apni goli ka galat nishana dekh kar woh bhi gaadi ke dusri taraf chippe Umed par 12-14 feet se goli barsane laga. Udhar se bhi 4 goliyan chali jisme 2 log maare gaye, ek toh wahi tha jisko Sushila chahiye thi. Narsingh ki bandook se bhi aakhiri goli Umed ke panv me ja ghusi thi.

"Bach na sakta aaj tu Umed. Goli teri bhi khatam arr meri bhi lekin tu akela hai aur hum 4.", Narsingh ne Bheem ko bhi sahara dete hue utha lia tha. Kaala Umed ki taraf badha kyonki sharir se wahi tha jo Umed se takra sakta tha, Bheem ki halat durust hoti toh shaayad woh bhi aisi himakar kar sakta tha. Lekin un charon ka dhyaan apni taraf badhti maut par na gaya jo teeno mahilao ko kamre me band karne ke baad unki taraf aa raha tha.

"Umed tum jaise 4-5 par neend me bhi bhari padega hijde. Narsingh naam rakhne se tu sher nahi bann ne wala.", Kaale ki talwar ka war bachate hue Umed ne uski kalai pakad li thi lekin hawa me goonji is cheekh ko sunn kar sabhi idhar he dekhne lage.

"Waar samne se karte hai Bheem, peeche se geedad he jhoothan churane aate hai.", Arjun ne Umed ki taraf lohe ki rod liye badh rahe Bheem Singh ko kamar se pakad kar us gaadi ke bonutt par aise de mara tha ke Bheem ki cheekh me gaadi ka tootna bhi sunai na dia tha. Bache hue sheeshe bhi mitti ki tarah har taraf bikhar gaye the aur Bheem kate vriksh sa aadha bonnut par aur aadha gaadi ki chatt faade uske bheetar. Sharir kuch hilne ke baad shant ho gaya tha lekin ab Narsingh ki kalai Arjun ke hath me thi. Udhar Umed bhi kuch josh me Kaale ki talwar uski he chaati ke bheetar daal chuka tha.

2 aur goliya chali jiske sath he Narsingh jameen par gir gaya bina Arjun ki maar khaye aur aakhiri wala bhagne se pehle he jameen soongh raha tha.

"Chote pandit, hamesha deri se he aati hai police. Khair tum aaye toh ab sambhalo ye sab. Main nikalta hu.", Sanjiv bhaiya gambhir chehre se Arjun ko dekh rahe the, jo muskura raha tha. Umed Singh Sanjiv ko aankh dikhate hue Arjun ke seene se lagte hue bas itna he bole, "Naaj hai tujhpe. Message deri se mila uske liye sorry, woh chunaav bhi aa rahe hai na."

"Chacha, phone karta hu subah.", Arjun ne bhi sankshipt sa jawaab dia aur woh andhere me bahar nikal gaye.

"Ye sab mujhe Manju ke phone se pata chala. Aur dadaji se tera pager number. Itni badi vardaat tu akele karne nikal aaya?", Gusse me unhone Bheem ke chehre me 2 goliyan utaar di thi.

"Jeb dekh lia karo jara apni. Gaadi me baithne se pehle maine kagaj dala tha. Secret service wale undercover.", Arjun unke gale lagte hue hansne laga. Sanjiv bhaiya bi apne chhote bhai ki hansi par shaant ho gaye the.

"Baaki sab kaha hai?"

"Udhar band kia hua hai hath bandh ke.", Unke sath he woh Sushila aur Shabnam ke pas aa gaya jo jameen par baithi thi, haath peeche se bandhe the unke. Aur ek taraf khadi Menaka ke gale par Arjun ka rumaal bandha tha.

"Chal tu Menaka ko le kar nikal main inhe jara sasural ke darshan karwata hu. Waise toh irada kuch aur hai lekin kanoon ki hadd me rehna jyada sahi rahega. Ghar pe ye undercover wali baat."

"Haan nahi kehta main kuch bhi lekin apne chhote bhai se mat chupaya karo itna sab. Rivolver rakhni nahi aati aapko abhi tak."

"Tera pager hai kaha? Aur ye itna advanced pager tere pas?", Sanjiv bhaiya Sushila ke peeth par rivolver lagaye chal rahe the aur Shabnam bhi sehmi hui sath he thi.

"Mere pas bahot kuch hai lekin manahi hai. Pager Umed chacha ke kehne par ek policewala kal deke gaya tha aur dadaji ko pata tha. Isliye sab gharwale bahar hain.", Arjun ne ye jor ka jhatka dia tha Sanjiv bhaiya ko.

"Wo is sab ke baare me jaante hai? Aur unhone tujhe ijajat di is sabki? Bina soche ki tu itna chhota hai aur yaha jaan ja sakti thi.", Sanjiv thoda sakte me tha.

"Yaha aur bhi log hai bhaiya. Dusri baat unhe ye pata hai ke Umed chacha sab kar rahe hai, main toh sirf chhota sa pyada hu. Samjh lo khabri jaisa. Idhar toh main aaya he nahi hu. Aap unse bhi yahi kahenge.", Arjun ne bahar khadi jeep ko dekha toh thoda sochne laga. Fir shutter ke pas khadi bullet dekh kar woh uski taraf badha. Ye Bijender ki thi aur chabi usme he lagi thi.

"Kisi ko main kuch nahi kehne wala lekin tujhse bahot sawaal hai mere. Manju agar phone na karti toh yaha gadbad ho jaani thi aaj.", Sanjiv bhaiya ne dono mahilao ko jeep ke piche baithane ke baad seat ke sath he ek ek hath unke hathkadi se bandh diye the.

"Manju na karti toh bhi aapke pas phone aata. Waise pager dekh lijiye message jarur hoga poore 6 baje.", Arjun ne Menaka ko apne peeche bithaya aur Sanjiv bhaiya apne pager ki hari light me woh sandesh padhne lage.

"Hmm. Toh tujhe mera pager number bhi pata hai?"

"Aap aage chalo main araam se aata hu. Sawaal mere bhi bahot hai lekin fir kabhi baat karenge jab aapka dil ho jeera-lemon pilane ka. Abhi mujhe kuch kaam hai." , Arjun ne kick lagate hue woh bullet start ki aur bhaiya gaadi me baith ne ke sath he wireless par koi sandesh dene lage. Aaj pehli bar woh apna parichaya de rahe the. IPS Sajiv Sharma. Lal batti wali woh jeep unse aage chalne lagi thi aur Arjun dheemi raftar se ye alag tarike ki bullet chalata thandi hawa ka lutf lene laga.

"Aaj tumne mujhe khareed lia Arjun. Beshak tum mujhe fir kabhi mat dekhna lekin main tumhe bachana he chahti thi.", Menaka uski kamar me hath daale bhavuk ho gai thi aur pachtava bhi tha ke itna sabkuch ho gaya.

"Ye aise waqt par bhi rone ki wajah samajh nahi aa rahi. Tum mere sath ho, dono zinda aur salamat. Hamare pyaar ki wajah se dekho aaj Bheem Singh bhi nahi rahe aur tumhari maa bhi. Dekha jaye toh tumhe mujhse nafrat karni chahiye kyonki meri wajah se pariwar khatam ho gaya tumhara.", Arjun sapaat lehje me keh raha tha. Lekin Menaka jor se uski peeth se lipat gai.

"Aaj maine dekha tha tumhari aankho me. Tum apni jaan bhi dene ko tayaar the. Kaise kar sakte ho itna pyaar woh bhi aisi aurat se jo shayad tumhari dushman he thi ek tarah se.", Arjun kuch jawaab deta us se pehle he 'bhadaaakk.. chhrrrrrrrrrrr' ka ye dhamaka vatavaran ko hila gaya. Unse 500 meter dur chal rahi bhaiya ki jeep is bypass wale modd se viprit disha me uchalti hui sadak se pare ghane vriksho me ja lagi. Dhamake ki garzana aisi thi ki ek pal ke liye bullet bhi aniyantrit ho gai lekin Arjun badhavaas sa khud he motorcycle neeche girata us taraf bhaagne laga. Sthiti har tarah se bekabu ho chuki thi. Us canter se utar kar 3 log jeep ki taraf bhadd rahe the jab tak Arjun waha pahuchta ek aadmi ne driver ke bheje me goli utaar di thi. Dusra peeche wale hisse ki taraf jata khali kanasatar se jaise paani chidakne laga tha.

"Sanjiv kade gira hai re? Usne zinda nahi chhodna.", Woh aadmi aage kuch kehta us se pehle he 2 goliya uske seene me aa lagi udhar jhaadio se. Baaki dono bhi udhar he lapke lekin koi aur goli chalti us se pehle he Arjun dono ko liye andhere me kood gaya.

"kaddaakk" ki tej awaaj aur jungle is aadmi ki cheekh se goonj utha. Arjun ne reedh ka jodd he todd dia tha. Dusra sambhalta us se pehle he uska sharir jeep par jaa gira.

"Bhaiya-Bhaiya..", Arjun pukarta hua aage badh raha tha aur samne se karahta hua Sanjiv pasliya dabaye dusre hath me pistol ke sath rigadata hua aa raha tha. Arjun ne furti se unhe apne kandhe par dala aur sadak ki taraf badhne laga. Andhere me dono bhaio ke chehre-sar se khoon behta jameen geeli kar raha tha. Ye majboot sa hath Arjun ke paanv par kasa toh woh jaise neeche baithne laga, lekin fir khud he mutthi khul gai thi.

"Mohar Singh.. Mohar Singh hai ye. Arjun aise hum nahi ja payenge bhai.. Tu jeep dekh, maine wireless kia hua hai. Unhe bata iske baare me.", Idhar Menaka bhi aa khadi hui thi. Kuch aur na soojha toh apne sar par bandhi patti aur gale ka rumaal woh Sanjiv bhaiya ke sar par dabati hui unka khoon rokne lagi. Kismat itni bhi bereham na thi aaj. Arjun ki aankhon me aansu dekh shayad bhagwan bhi taras kha gaya tha. Laal batti ki jeep aur badi van modd se idhar aati dikhi. Arjun apne bhaiya ko kandhe pe liye thik sadak ke beech khada hota unke samne aa gaya.

"Inhe jaldi hospital leke chalo. Aur udhar jeep me dekho ke koi zinda hai kya.", Arjun ki baat sunn kar bhaiya dard me bhi muskurane lage.

"Ye apna kaam kar lenge. Idhar Lucky hai mere sath. Tu yaha se nikal aur jubaan band rakhna. Main jald milta hu tujhse.", Lucky bhi Sanjiv ki halat dekh ghabra gaya tha lekin dusri gaadi walo ko nirdesh deta woh jeep liye shehar ki taraf nikal chala. Jeep me Sushila aur Shabnam shayad behosh ho gai thi jinhe ye 4 policewale gadi me daalne ke baad baaki 3 adhmare aur mrit vyaktio aur driver ki lash ko bhi van me lita kar wapis nikal gaye. Ghatnasthal par ek hawaldar chhodd kar.

"Bhai, jara waha se meri motorcycle la do ge?", Arjun ne kamar par hath rakhte hue us policewale se kaha aur woh bina kuch kahe andhere me us taraf chal dia. Arjun ki soch se kahi jyada he bada mamla ho gaya tha ye. Aaj ek pal ke liye woh jaise apne bhaiya ko kho he chuka tha. Aisa ho jata toh shayad Arjun zindagi bhar ye iljaam apne dil par liye rehta. Jaise taise woh khamosh sa Menaka ko liye uske ghar aa gaya. Agle 10 minute me woh bister par leta tha Manju ke kamre me jaha ye doctor sahab uske har ghaav par marham lagane ke baad neend ka injection de kar chale gaye the. Kuch aisa he dusre kamre me Menaka ke sath hua tha.

"Iska dhyaan rakhna bitiya. Aur hosh me aane par keh dena ke Rameshwar Sharma ke sawaal iska intjaar kar rahe hai. Ye masoom pyada meri gair-maujdgi me vajir bann baitha.", Ye Pandit ji he the jinke sath Tejpal Sharma chupchap khade the.

"Koi ghabrane wali baat toh nahi hai na dadaji?", Manju ki aankhon me aansu dekh kar woh muskura diye.

"Ye mera abhimaan hai bitiya, kabhi kuch nahi ho sakta isko. Lekin nasamjh hai thoda jyada hoshiyaar pata nahi. Ghaav chhote motte hai 1-2 din me toh dikhne wale bhi nahi. Chalo aaj bitiya tumhare hath ki chai pila do ab aa he gaya hu toh fir kya 10 minute aur kya ghanta.", Rameshwar ji Manju ko sar sehlate hue bahar sofe par aa baithe.

"Toh Bittu mia, dekh lia najara?"

"Pandit ji, ye pagalpan he tha. Sanjiv mara jata agar ye na hota toh. Umed ke bhi paanv me goli lagi hai. Lekin ye kaise pahuch gaya udhar?"

"Policewale ka khoon toh kahi na kahi sabme he hai is ghar me. Isne kaha tha ke ye Umed ki madad karega, guru hai na woh iska. Lekin Umed bhi jaise iska gulam ho gaya hai. Baaki sab toh jaanch ke baad pata lagega. Kaha khaad me mitti dene ki baat kahi thi aur ye sab saaf kar aaya.", Rameshwar ji ki muskaan rehasya se bhari thi.

"Chandro Devi ki halat bhi sthir hai ab. Doctor keh rahe the ki khatre se bahar hai. Bheem-Sheela devi ne 3 aur logo ki madad se Sushila ke pariwar par hamla kia jisme Mohar Singh ke sath 12 aur log maare gaye hai apradhiyo ko mila kar.", Jaise Tejpal mama ne khakha tayaar kia ho report banane se pehle.

"Hmmm.. 12 ki jagah 13 kar do Tejpal. Ek ko humne khud ajaad kar dia. Bhabhi ji se main parso mil lunga aur Sushila ko kehna ki Rameshwar aaj bhi unka bhala he sochta hai beshak uski wajah se mere bete ki khushiya maine khatam kar di lekin usko ba-ijjat bari kar dia gaya hai. Bijender se vyaktigat mulakaat main parso kar lunga. Haan Shabnam ko apni nigrani me rakhna, Shankar karega baat aane par.", Idhar Manju chai rakhne ke baad Menaka ke kamre me chali gai.

"Ji. Order aur file toh aap bhijwa he denge. Waise abhi aap yahi rukne wale hai?"

"Barkhurdar tumhare pita ji ne aaj dawat rakhi hai toh hum yaha kya karenge. 8:00 baje hai toh 45 minute me toh tum mujhe ghar utaar he doge.", Tejpal ji ke chehre par bhi hansi aa gai.

"Waise sach kahu toh Arjun ko dekh kar garv hota hai."

"Haan bhanja jab mama ki gardan pakadne lage toh garv hoga he. Hahaha.. Waise sach baat hai. Main isko in sabse dur rakhna chahta hu lekin chah kar bhi rakh na paunga.", Rameshwar ji kamre me nigaah marte hue Arjun ko dekhne lage.

"Ab chintit hone ki wajah he nahi hai uncle. Sab saaf toh kar he dia hai Sanjiv aur Umed ne milkar. Jo bache hai woh dost rahenge ya shubhchintak."

"Iske sath ek samasya hai beta. Kaam na mile toh ye khud he dhoond leta hai. Abhi toh chalo jo hua so hua. Aur main bhi koshish karunga ke iski shiksha thodi jyada badha du, mere liye he atcha rahega. Chalo bhai ab chalte hi. Beti ke ghar ki chai pee li bahot atcha laga.", Rameshwar ji uthne ke baad fir se Arjun ko dekh kar Manju ko bhi aashirwad dete hue bahar nikal chale.
.
.
Bijender ICU ke bahar baitha tha apne ek dost ke sath. Aaj usne ek dost kho dia tha aur dusra shayad kho he deta agar Umed kaka uski samay rehte madad na karte. Aankhe abhi tak bheegi thi. Sabse ajeeb baat ye hui thi ki is haspataal me he uski maa aur chacheri behan ko bhi laya gaya tha lekin woh batane ke bawjood waha se hila nahi.

"Ji, aapke kapde aur khana laai hu.", Anupama pehli baar bahar yu uske saamne aai thi. Beshak Babita he usko leke aai thi lekin Babita alag emergency ward me apni maa ke pas chali gai thi. Ek pal toh Bijender khamosh baitha raha, shunya me dekhte hue lekin fir uski kamar par mooh rakhte hue woh fafak kar ro pada. Yaha bas 3 he log the lekin uska dost bahar chala gaya tha halat dekh kar.

"Aapne kabhi kuch galat nahi kia lekin kahi na kahi chook hui hai. Hum mil kar sudhar sakte hai sabkuch. Balwaan (Bhoora) bhai ke jaane ka mujhe bhi dukh hai lekin Gollu bhaiya khatre se bahar. Haunsla rakhiye aap. Chaliye kapde badal lijiye itne main yaha dekhti hu.", Anupama ki saaf aur dil se kahi baat sunkar Bijender khada ho kar uske gale lag gaya. Woh bahot kuch kehna chahta tha lekin aaj jaise shabd nahi foot rahe the.

"Hum nai shuruwaat kar sakte hai. Kal papa ko mukhagni deni hai aapko aur uske baad jimmewari sambhalni padegi sari.", Bijender ne chehre se chehra lagate hue sirf haami bhari aur kapde le kar chala gaya. Police ne is maamle me inme se kisi se poochtach toh nahi ki thi lekin apni tayaar report par hastakshar karwa liye the. Shabnam ko sandigdh ki shreni me rakha gaya tha aur uska ilaaj bhi police nigrani me he ho raha tha.

"Dekh maa, ke ho gaya poore pariwar gail. Tanne sabke syaami yo keha tha ne ke meri chhori itne byaah ni karegi jitne Shankar ke pariwar sath badla na le lia jaye. Manne sirf teri haa me haa milai thi. Lekin aaj Shankar ke pariwar ne poora ghar khatam karne ki jagah tanne ba-ijjat bari arr us harami maame ki maut bhi badle ki bhavna se ki hatya likh di. Woh chhora sabne maar sake tha lekin usne ek ki jaan bhi konya li. Eb tere dhore bahot tame hai sochan ka. Yu taang toot chuki hai, kalai ki haddi bhi arr sarr pe 6 taanke aaye hai. Hafta aathe he reh, main halchal leti rahungi tera.", Babita ne aage kuch na kehte hue apni maa ko daal ka paani bade pyaar se pilaya jo Sushila peena nahi chahti thi. Aankhe uski bhi bhari thi aur sab khone ke baad ehsaas hua tha ke woh kitni kharaab bahu, biwi, maa aur behan thi. Lekin fir samne se Bijender ko aate dekh mooh fer lia. Aaj himmat na thi apne bete ki aankhon ka samna karne ka.

"Ae maa, tu tawli thik ho jya. 13 din baad tere chhore ka arr chhori ka byaah hai.", Bijender gol stool par baithta apni maa ke gaal par hath rakhte hue bola toh Babita hairani se usko dekhne lagi.

"Bebe tu tension na le. Gollu gail tera ar Anupama gail mera byaah hovega. Gollu ne hosh aaya toh manne bataya ke main Anupama ne pasand karu hu. Woh bawla toh Arjun dhore kaal stadium he chala gaya tha yu kehan ke Bijender ne woh kuch na kare arr woh yu sab apne pyaar khatir karan laag reha hai. Fer bera chalya ke thamm donu pasand karo ho ek dusre ne. Chaal ma tu araam kar, main tadke aaunga milan. Gollu ke maa-baap ho sake hai ke hal-chal len upar aave. Main Anupama ne chhod ke aau ghar. Tu dhyaan rakhiye bebe apna. Jo galti hui uske khatir chotte bhai ne maaf kar diye.", Jaane se pehle woh apni maa aur behan se gale lag ke mila.

"Dekh le iska dil. Yu hai sacha arr pariwar ki hifajat karan wala. Khair tere neend ki sui de rakhi hai toh tu araam kar. Mai is bistre pe sou hu.", Babita ne bhi maa ke chehre par hath ferte hue kaha aur fir khali bister par leit gai.

Sushila soch rahi thi ki agar aaj yahi ladai Shankar ke sath hui hoti toh ek baar fir sab khatam ho jata lekin waha Arjun tha. Jo marne ko tayaar tha aur sabko bachane ke liye bhi.

"Beti, ek baar bas Arjun ne sandesh bhijwa diye ke uski bua milna chahve hai us se. Shankar toh kade koni aave lekin woh chhora bhala hai.", Sushila ne itna kaha aur aankhe band kar li. Wahi Babita muskura uthi apni maa ki baat sunkar.
.
.
Raat 12 baje Arjun jhatke se uth khada hua. Paseene se bheega jism aur uttejjana se woh bechain sa tha lekin fir achanak he woh wapis bister par ludhak gaya.

Update 98
Kuch Apno ke Sath- Kuch apno se dur (1)

"Araam se lete raho. Tum nahi aa sakte the toh main khud aa gai.", Muskaan Arjun ke seene par pyaar se hath rakhti usko shaant kar rahi thi. Arjun par shayad ab dava ka asar lagbhag khatam ho chuka tha aur bas kahi kahi halka dard tha sharir me jo sehan karne layak tha.

"Manju kaha hai? Aur tum yaha kaise aa gai?", Arjun uske hath par hath rakhe aankhe band kiye tha. Muskan waise he barabar me baithi pyaar se uske sparsh ko mehsoos karti hui dheemi awaaj sunn rahi thi.

"Mujhe Manju ne bataya tumhare baare me. Phone kia tha maine usko apna sach batane ke liye. Phir pata laga ke tumhare sath itna kuch ho gaya hai toh main khud ko rok na saki aane se. Manju se saja ki ummeed liye aai thi lekin uska dil dekho, kasoorwar ko he apne gale laga lia usne.", Muskaan ki awaaj gambhir hone lagi thi lekin beech me he reh gai.

"Ab iske saamne tape-recorder band kar le Muskaan. Tere sath maine jo karna tha kar lia lekin isko maaf nahi karne wali main. Bister se hile bhi toh taange todd dungi keh deti hu.", Manju kapade badal kar bathroom se bahar aane ke baad Muskaan ki baat sunn chuki thi. Fir Arjun ke pas aa kar khadi hui usko daantne lagi thi ki uski kalai pakad kar Arjun ne apne pas kheench lia.

"Hath chhodo mera.", Manju ne halki narajgi dikhate hue mooh fer lia aur Arjun ke mooh se halki karah nikal gai.

"Kya hua? Dekhne do mujhe, keh bhi rahi hu ki bister par raho."

"Yaha dard hua thoda.", Arjun ne muskurate hue apne dil par hath rakha aur fir Manju ko apne seene se laga lia, jiska Manju ko jaise pehle se intjaar tha. Sara gussa aur narajgi pal me he gayab ho gaya. Muskaan ka hath abhi bhi Arjun ke dusre hath me tha lekin bister par. Woh in dono ko dekh kar muskura rahi thi.

"Aaj bahot pareshan kia na maine? Jaruri tha Manju, main tumhe is sabme shamil nahi karna chahta tha. Yakeen maano mujhe kuch nahi hua aur tumhare rehte waise bhi kuch ho bhi nahi sakta.", Arjun ki is kalai par bhi patti bandhi thi jis hath se usne Manju ko apne seene se lagaya hua tha. Lekin woh ab bilkul sahi tha.

"Aur tumne ye Muskaan wali baat bhi mujhse chupai? Jaanti hu ki ye saaf-dil hai lekin meri saheli ke baare me tumhe jyada pata tha.", Manju uske seene par sar tikaye hue Muskaan ko dekh rahi thi aur fir un dono ke hath bhi.

"Isko khud nahi pata tha ke ye kya kar rahi hai? Lekin fir bhi mujhe bachaye toh rakha isne aur tumhe bhi khud he isne sab bata dia."

"Sabkuch nahi bataya hai abhi. Tumne bhi waise lekin main dekh rahi hu ki tum dono me se kaun ye batayega ye mujhe.", Manju ko khud ki taraf aise dekhte hue Muskaan ka chehra laal hone laga. Woh hath chhudane lagi lekin Arjun ne thoda kass ke hatheli pakad li.

"Tumhe sachmuch nahi pata Manju?", Arjun ke sawaal par Manju muskura kar uthne lagi thi in dono ko samay dene ke liye lekin sath he Arjun bhi khada hone laga.

"Ghar chalta hu main taai ji aur Aarti didi akele hai udhar."

"Nahi, unhe bata dia tha ke tum aaj yahi rukne wale ho. Menaka didi ki tabiyat thik nahi hai aur udhar dadaji ne apna koi aadmi bheja hua hai. Preeti bhi Aarti ke he sath hai. Subah tum chale jana. Waise apni chot ke baare me kya kehne wale ho?", Manju dekh rahi thi ki Arjun uski baat sunn kar bathroom ki taraf ja raha tha. Lekin darwaja khula he rakhte hue woh khud ko aaine me dekhne laga. Honth par soojan aur halki chot ka nishaan tha, daai taraf ki eyebrow par bhi patti thi tape ke sath, sar ke upar bhi waise he patti thi aur kalai poori bandhi thi. Sharir par ragad aur kharoche thi lekin kahi khoon ka nishaan na tha.

"Mere kapde kisne badle the.?", Arjun ke jism par saaf pyjama tha aur upar bhaag nirvastra.

"Maine he badle the doctor ki madad se. Dadaji us waqt Menaka didi ka ilaaj karwa rahe the toh ye mujhe he karna pada.", Manju almari se tshirt nikalne lagi toh Arjun wapis bahar aa gaya.

"Thik kia. Aur iski jarurat nahi hai filhal. Muskaan tum khana bana leti ho?", Arjun ne Manju ko tshirt wapis dete hue bed par khamosh baithi Muskaan se poocha.

"Ha.... Haan bana leti hu thoda bahot.", Woh uthne lagi toh Manju Arjun ka hath pakad kar khud he bahar le aai, Muskaan ko sath aane ka keh kar.

"Sofe par baith jao. Khana banaya hua hai, main lagati hu.", Manju ne Arjun ke paanv khud he seedhe karte hue kursi par rakh diye, neeche gaddi lagate hue. Muskaan bade dhyaan se dekh rahi thi ye sab. Woh abhi khadi he thi ki Arjun ki baat sunn kar sakte me aa gai.

"Baith jao tum bhi, woh biwi hai meri. Shayad ab sirf meri.", Manju ne rasoi me he plate tayaar karte hue pyaar se ek baar Arjun ko dekha aur fir kaam karne lagi.

"Manju ki shaadi toh Menaka ke bhai se hui hai na? Tumhari patni kaise ho sakti hai woh?"

"Wo baat toh sab jaante hai lekin mera aur Manju ka rishta ab sirf tumhe pata hai. Waise table par frame ke andar kiski photo hai dekho jara?", Kaanch ke table par hamesha woh frame rehta tha jisme Manju aur Rishabh ki photo hoti thi lekin aaj waha sirf Manju ki photo thi, dusri jagah khali thi. Manju 2 palte table par lagane ke baad ek Muskaan ke samne rakh kar khud Arjun ki bagal me aa gai.

"Dada ji nikal kar le gaye the ye. Lekin mujhe bhi nahi pata tha ke unhone aisa kyu kia? Toh kya ab main Rishabh ki vidhwa hu?", Manju shaant aur gambhir thi.

"Jab shaadi se pehle he mere naam ka sindoor maang me bhar chuki ho toh fir uske sath tumhara vivah koi mayne rakhta hai?", Arjun ne khud he Manju ka gaal choomte hue khud se laga lia. Muskaan jaise uljhan me khoi in dono ko dekh rahi thi aur uski maujudgi me Arjun ki aisi harkat par Manju aankhe jhukaye sharmati hui sikudne lage thi.

"Ye tumhe kaise pata? Shadi me toh tum nahi the."

"Galat toh nahi kaha na maine? Aur dadaji aaye the toh aankhe band karne se pehle maine bhi unhe mere kamre me dekha tha. Yaha aate he photo par najar padte he samajh gaya tha ke woh is ghar se kya leke gaye hai. Aur Muskaan ab tum nischint ho kar apna bhavishya bana sakti ho. Jab bhi dil kare yaha Manju ke pas rehne/milne aa jana. Ab tum akeli nahi ho. Khana khao aur fir araam kar lena.", Muskaan thodi bhavuk ho gai thi. Kuch un dono ka pyaar dekh kar aur kuch Arjun dwara uske liye parwah dekh kar. Lekin fir muskurati hui woh khane lagi, shayad khana usne bhi nahi khaya tha ek do din se.

"Tum araam se baitho main khilati hu tumhe.", Manju apne hatho se Arjun ko khilne lagi.

"Sach kahu toh ye sab bahot alag hai, samajh se pare bhi aur pyara bhi. Tumhari apni he ke duniya hai jisme bahar jaisa sabkuch dikhta hai woh sab tumhare aaspas bilkul he alag hai.", Muskaan bahot kuch kehna chahti thi lekin jaise sahi shabd na the uske pas.

"Haan aisa he kuch samajh lo. Jo neeji zindagi hai woh bahar se alag hai kyonki dono alag duniya hai. Main Manju se kuch nahi chupana chahta aur tumse bhi nahi. Yaha main iska hu aur har us jagah jaha ye mere sath ho. Tumhare vyaktigat kshann me tuhare sath, Manju ki najar me rehte hue.", Muskaan poori baat ka matlab samajhte hue sharmati hui uthh gai aur plate rakhne rasoighar me chal di. Manju ne bhi Arjun ka chehra saaf karte hue saman uthaya aur woh bhi udhar he gai jaha se Muskaan wapis aa rahi thi. Lekin woh seedha Arjun ke paas aati hui uske hontho ko halke se choom kar bolne lagi.

"Yaha tum miya-biwi ke beech main haddi nahi bann-ne wali. Apni jagah tumhe pata hai aur ab main chali us kamre me sone. Manju, dhyaan rakhna jara shayad mehnat tumhe he karni padegi.", Hansti hui woh Menaka ke kamre me jaate he darwaja band karti bister par leit gai. Mahol thik kar gai thi apni is natkhat harkat se.

"Mere samne he tumne aisa kia?

"Main toh hila bhi nahi, agar tumne dhyaan dia ho.", Arjun masoomiyat se Manju ko dekhne laga. Aur woh hansti hui usko khada karti apne kamre me aa gai. Jo shayad ab in dono ka he rehne wala tha. Ghar aur rasoi jaanchne ke baad woh 10 minute baad Arjun ke baahon me thi, pur-sukoon se. Woh seedha leta apne upar jhuki Manju ke patle rasbhare hontho ko araam se pee raha tha.

"Date nahi aai hai meri.", Arjun ke ek bar muskura kar dekhti woh khadi hui aur tubelight band karti zero bulb roshan karne ke baad ekmatra gown bhi sharir se juda karke woh fir se Arjun ke pas chali aai. Usko bhi araam deti hui woh pajama hata kar uski bagal me aa gai thi.

"Tum ye chahti ho? Aakhiri saal bhi hai tumhara aage aur fir national bhi.", Arjun uski patli kamar par hath ferte hue apne dil ki baat keh raha tha.

"4 mahine toh koi dikkat nahi fir waise bhi 6-7 mahine main yaha ghar me aur maa ke sath udhar gaanv me bita lungi. Padhai khatam karke dekhungi ki aage kya karna hai. Itna jarur hai ke ye chhota Arjun mujhe har-haal me chahiye." Dono he apne madhur palo me ek dusre ke sath dhero baatein kar rahe the aur kuch kshann baad Manju khud he Arjun ki sawari karti hui dono ko araam de rahi thi. Ek inka milan tha jisme hamesha Manju he Arjun ko niyantrit karti thi aur woh bhi poore dil se uske sath hota tha.

"Ye bade hone lage hai ab., Arjun pyar se dono ubharo ko hatheli me liye sehla raha tha. Manju ke chehre par bhi alag he chamak thi is dauran. Woh ek baar hone ke bawjood bade araam se kamar hilati hui Arjun ki baatein sunn rahi thi.

"Mehnat jab bhi ki hai thodi toh nahi ki tumne. Har baar kisi bhookhe bache se toh tum inhe khaate rehte ho, bade toh honge he. Aur bhi kai jagah se size badal chuka hai.", Manju hamesha ekant me Arjun ke sath dil ki har baat kar leti thi aur Arjun bhi un sakht ubharo se hath neeche lata uske tarashe hue hilte kulho ko dabane laga. Yaha pehle ki tulna me sachmuch jyada he ijaafa hua tha.

"Kitna badle hai hai? Ab toh sach me inhe pyaar karna padega."

"Dhatt. Pehle thik ho jao fir mana nahi karungi. Kandhe aur paanv me bhi chott hai tumhare.. aahhh.. Waise mera toh maan lia tumhari wajah se sab badh raha hai lekin ye tumhara bhi jaise har bar pehle se bada kaise ho raha hai.", Manju beshak Arjun ke sath bharpoor ekakaar hui thi aur hamesha woh himmat se usko poora jhel leti thi lekin baat sahi thi.

"Tumhari mehnat hai ye bhi. Waise kitna badlav aaya hai? Tum sach me ab jyada naram lag rahi ho.", Arjun ne fir se dono gol chuche pakad liye the. Unhe apni taraf laane laga toh khud Manju us par jhuk gai. Hontho me woh teekhe nipple bharta peene laga. Ek hath ab apne upar jhuki Manju ki kamar par tha. Woh bhi apni laye barkaraar rakhti waise he apni geeli yoni uske vishal ling par aage peeche kar rahi thi.

"B se C ho gaye hai aur Ritu ke sath suit silne dene gai thi tab pata chala ke yaha bhi 36 ho gaya hai size 34 se. aahh.. kaato matt.. ummm", Manju thoda thakne lagi thi aur Arjun bhi samajh gaya tha. Waise bhi dono kareeb he the apni manjil ke. Arjun araam se usko paltate hue upar aaya aur waise he lambwat lete hue ye aakhir dhakke gehre lagane laga.

"aah.. tum kyu mehnat karne lage.. aahh.. siii", Uski peeth par hath rakhti woh charam paane he lagi thi ki Arjun bhi apna sara josh andar khaali karta hua upar leit gaya.

"Itni her der ke liye toh kar sakta hu. Waise main ab thik hu.", Hontho ko choomte hue dono kuch pal is sthiti me rahe fir sharir jode hue he karwat lekar ek dusre ko dekhne lage. Manju ka lamba paanv ab Arjun ke upar tha. Ling rass khali karne bawjood waise he yoni ke andar poora bhara raha.

"tumhare sath toh main waise bhi kabhi nahi thakta. Aur woh toh khud hamesha andar he rehna chahta hai.", Masti karte hue woh is haal me bhi Manju ke ek nitambh ko halke se dabate hue chote chote chumban de raha tha. Manju bhi araam se lipti hui is kismat ki raat ka poora lutf le rahi thi. Itna sabkuch hua tha poore din me. Kaha ghar me 2-2 log apne sapne sanjoye the, Muskaan khud sara din Arjun ke baare me sochti rahi thi, Menaka ne bhi pyaar dekha tha Arjun ki aankhon me lekin aadmi jaha bhi rahe woh wapis apni biwi ki bahon me he sukoon pata hai. Halki fulki chuhal ke baad dono is haalat me he ekdusre se lipte neend ke aagosh me chale gaye the, ghadi raat ke 2 baja rahi thi.

Is sabse dur aur bekhabar Rameshwar ji ka bhara-pariwar yaha Arjun ke nanihaal me bahut khush tha. Rekha ji apni bhabhi aur saheli Mamta ke sath raat ke 11 baje unke kamre me zindagi ke sukh-dukh sanjhe kar rahi thi, wahi Kaushalya ji bhi apni samdhan Sunanda ji ke sath dhero baatein karne ke baad araam se leti thi. Alka, Ritu, Tara ne Somya ke khali kamre par kabja jama lia tha aur unki mameri behan Swati bhi unke sath behad khush thi. Sath wale kamre me he Madhu bua, Madhuri didi aur Priyanka didi dinbhar ki thakaan aur ghoomne-firne ki wajah se araam kar rahi thi. Aaj sabka din atcha raha tha yaha. Hanuman ji ke mandir me shradha se pooja-path karne ke baad unhone shehar bhi dekha tha aur kharidi bhi ki thi. Bas Komal didi idhar nahi thi.

"Toh maami kuch badlaav aaya kya aapki zindagi me?", Woh is waqt khulli chatt par gadde bichaye yaha Sangita aur Anita maami ke sath thi. Jo unse kuch he badi hone ke sath Komal didi ki atchi saheliya bhi thi.

"Thodi aas toh hai Komal aur ab kuch sukoon rehne laga hai. Sangita didi ka toh mahina bhi nahi aaya is baar.", Anita maami, jo sabse chhoti bahu thi woh pehle se behtar najar aa rahi thi. Unki baat sunnkar Sangita maami ne apna chehra takiye me daba lia tha.

"Waah Sangita maami, lagta hai mama ne fir mehnat kar he di.", Komal didi ki aisi baat sunn kar Anita maami ne nakhre se unke hath par hath mara.

"Un dono se ghanta kuch na hua kabhi. Lekin haan mehnat jo bhi hui woh kaam kar gai apna.", Anita maami jaise baat jahir nahi karne wali thi lekin Komal didi ke hansne par woh dono he unhe dekhne lagi.

"Maloom hai mujhe, naani aapse jaise keh rahi thi na ke jisko aap dhoond rahi ho woh nahi aaya. Lekin thode din me aayega tab kar lena apne dil ki.", Komal didi ki baat sunn kar is baar Anita maami ki najre jhukk gai. Shayad jhijhak aur unke raaj ke khulne se.

"Dekh Komal, isme Anita ka bhi koi dosh nahi. Ye main he chahti thi aur hum dono ka us se koi galat samband rakhne ka irada nahi hai. Tum behan ho uski toh naam lena nahi chahti lekin hamari zindagi banane wala woh hamesha hamare liye bhagwan samaan rahega.", Sangita maami ki awaaj halki bharra gai thi.

"Pareshan mat ho maami. Aap itni pyaari ho toh usne jo bhi kia aapke aur sabki khushi ke liye kia na. Aur jaanti hu main ke aap dono he is pariwar se bahot pyaar karti ho. Agar Anita maami ka confirm nahi hua hai aur woh ab aisa karna nahi chahti toh thik hai main usko yaha nahi bhejungi.", Komal didi ki baat par Anita maami ne jhatt hath pakad lia.

"Tu mana karke dekh usko, wahi aa kar uspe chadh jaungi main. Inka ek baar me tehar gaya toh atchi baat hai lekin mera abhi baaki hai. Is baar jabtak yakeen na ho jaye main toh usko chhodne wali nahi.", Unka utawalapan dekh kar didi hansne lagi.

"Oh meri pyaari maami, itna mat socho aap. Shukarwar raat woh yahi aane wala hai Bittu mama ke sath aur fir shaniwar dopahar tak woh aapke hawale. Bas thoda araam karne dena, woh abhi chhota hai.", Woh hansti hui keh rahi thi lekin fir Anita maami ke baat sunn kar current sa laga.

"Tu badi behan hai uski isliye mooh ni kholti jyada. Lekin jisko chhotta bol rahi hai na usne ek baar me he aisa haal kia tha ke hum dono teri naani ke hath chadh gai thi langdane ki wajah se. Kuch chotta nahi hai uska, bacha samajh rahi hai kyonki tere samne he bada hua hai na isliye.", Anita maami ki baat andar ek aag si laga gai thi lekin Komal didi shant ho gai.

"Kuch bhi bolti hai tu bhi Anita. Iski baat ka bura naa maan Komal, ye khud bhi abhi nasamajh hai. Lekin sach kahu toh woh pyaar karna jaanta hai, bado se kahi jyada atche se. Utna he khayaal bhi rakhta hai."

"Arre maami aap log meri saheliyan ho. Main toh is waqt us hisaab se he baat kar rahi hu. Chalo atcha hai ke samajhdar hai, kalko biwi ka poora dhyaan rakhega. Anita maami ke sath aapka dil kare toh dekh lena. Haha.", Woh bhi hansti hui takiya theek karke karwat ke bal leit gai.

"Haan woh toh lajmi hai. Tax toh lungi he in dono se chowkidari ka. Waise Madhuri aur Sanjiv ki shaadi ka kya hisaab hai? Maaji se suna tha ke unke rishtey ho chuke hai."

"Maami didi ka toh rishta ho chuka hai lekin Sanjiv bhaiya ke liye ladki sirf dadaji ne dekhi hai. Aur jaha tak Madhuri didi ki shaadi ki baat hai toh woh 21 May ko honi hai. Mahina pada hai abhi."

"Aur teri shaadi? Hum dono se kahi jawaani tere pe hai, shayad badi nanad ji ka poora roop tujhe unse he mil gaya."

"Maami abhi shaadi dur dur tak nahi karne wali. 2 saal padhai aur fir dekhte hai. Haan 27-28 ki umar tak toh ho jayegi."

"Badi himmat hai tere me. Yaha toh 17 ki hui thi aur kharish hone lagi the mere.", Anita maami ki is chuhal se baki dono hansne lagi.

"Maami mere koi kharish nahi hoti, baal nahi hai na. Aap dhyaan rakhti toh itna risk na lena padta.", Komal shayad he aise kisi ke sath majak karti thi. In dono ke sath gehra judaav tha unka.

"Aag thi mere andar. Haan nahi toh aur raji thi main shaadi ke liye. Ab tu thandi hai toh isme meri galti nahi.", Anita maami ke adaa se mooh banati hui jaise didi ko taana de rahi thi.

"Atchi baat hai. Ab is aag par cooker chadhega jaldi he fir 9 mahine baad seeti bajegi toh dekhungi aag rehti hai ya kharish hoti hai.", Unki baat par Anita maami hanste hue Komal ko halke hath se maarne lagi.

"Dekh lo didi, sab kehte hai itni bholi hai ye. Yaha isko cooker aur seeti sab pata hai. Komal baaj aaja tu.", Fir 5-10 minute masti majaak karne ke baad teeno he araam karte hue sone lagi. Dil bhi halka ho gaya tha aur sukoon bhi tha hansne bolne ki wajah se.

6 baje Menaka ki aankh khuli toh bagal me ye anjaan khoobsurat ladki dekh kar ek pal ke liye woh usko dekhne lagi fir savdhani se uth kar bathroom me chali aai. Sharir dukh raha tha aur lagbhag 10 ghante se woh so rahi thi toh laghushanka ka bojh saha na gaya. Jaise taise woh farig hone ke baad aaine me khudko dekhne lagi. Is haal me ghar se bahar jana kahi se bhi thik na tha. Maathe par chott thi jaha saaf patti bandhi thi aur gale par jo halka ghaav bana tha waha bhi. Arjun ka dhyaan aate he woh kapde badal kar drawing hall me pahuchi he thi ki Manju bread par makhan lagane ke baad chai ki tray liye samne aa khadi hui.

"Didi aap bister par chalo wapis. Doctor ne heavy dose di thi aur aapne kuch khaya bhi nai hai. kal dopahar ke baad. Chaliye andar.", Manju is waqt atche se tyaar thi nahai hui. Sooti laal rang ka press kia hua kameej jispar gol safed kapde ke button tange the, safed chudidaar salwar aur maang me sindoor ke sath pooja ka tilak usko ek aadarsh yuvti ka poorn swaroop de raha tha. Menaka ne bhi palbhar ke liye usko dekha aur fir jyada kuch kahe bina andar he aa gai.

"Arjun so raha hai?"

"Woh toh aadha ghanta pehle he tayaar ho kar chala gaya tha. Aur ye meri saheli hai Muskaan, raat aai thi fir Arjun waha pehle se he so raha tha toh maine isko yaha sone ko bol dia tha.", Manju ne halke se Muskaan ka paanv hilate hue jagane ka upkram kia aur idhar woh chai ki tray Menaka ke samne rakhe the.

"Just 5 minutes more and where is Bruno daddy?", Neend me woh ek hath bister par fira rahi thi lekin fir jaise he kuch khayal aaya toh woh jhatt se uth khadi hui.

"Sorry. Kya time ho raha hai? Namstey didi.", Hadbadahat me he woh Menaka ko hath jodd kar khadi ho gai.

"Araam se araam se. Ye Menaka didi hai aur abhi 6 baje hai. Sona hai toh thodi der aur so ja, waise main chai bana lai hu teri.", Manju ne usko shaant karte hue pas he bithana chaha toh woh fresh hone ka bol kar bathroom me bhaag gai.

"Lagta hai ye ladki papa ki ladli hai.", Menaka ne cup uthate hue kaha lekin Manju ne hath rokte hue apne hath se unke mooh par woh bread laga di.

"Pehle andar kuch jaane dijiye fir ye chai peeni hai. Aur iske papa yaha nahi rehte, England me hai. Sapna dekh rahi hogi.", Menaka Manju ka itna pyaar dekh kar halke se muskura di. Apne he hath se Manju ne woh aadhi bread khilane ke baad unhe chai peene di. Fir baaki woh khud araam se khane lagi.

"Arjun thik tha? Raat ko uske khoon toh bahot laga tha? Fir tune usko jaane kyu dia.?"

"Woh uska khoon nahi tha aur agar hoga bhi toh thoda bahot. Saari pattiyan khol kar bas kalai wali baandhe woh sahi salamat he nikla tha. Aur kaise rokti batao? Ghar bhi log chinta kar rahe honge aur woh sunta bhi nahi hai.", Manju dhyaan se Menaka ke hath aur kalai dekh rahi thi, jaha abhi bhi halke nishan the, shayad rassi ke khichav ke.

"Arjun so raha hai kya?", Muskaan bhi bathroom se bahar aate hue wahi sawaal dohrane lagi.

"University aayega woh milne tujhse.", Manju agar kehti ki woh stadium milega toh Menaka agla sawaal jarur karti aur Muskaan bhi samajh gai ki samne baat karna galat he hoga.

"Tum chai nahi pee rahi?"

"Main chai nahi peeti. Doodh pee chuki ho pehle he. Aap log baitho main jara aati hu.", Manju itna bol kar bahar chal di.

Arjun Bijender ki motorcycle liye he ghar ke bahar pahucha tha aur Col sahab ke ghar ke samne khadi unki gaadi par najar padi. Usko dekh kar Col sahab ne ishare se he pas bulaya.

"Ji chote daadu. Waise aap Chandigarh se wapis kal aaye hai aur aaj fir itni subah jaane lage hai."

"Beta ji main nahi ja raha kahi. Alisha ja rahi hai wapis Greece toh usko airport bhijwa raha hu. Tum ye kiski motorcycle chala rahe ho?"

"Dost ki hai daadu. Meri kharaab ho gai thi stadium ke bahar.", Arjun andar se aati is swarg se utari apsara ko dekhne laga apni baate kehte hue. Gol khoobsurat chehra, kaale lehrate hue seene se niche tak aate baal, halki ghumavdar aur aisi kamniya kaya jo saaf jahir thi ki woh hindustani toh hai he nahi.

"Alisha he is Arjun and Arjun she's Preeti's maternal aunt and Viky's mom Alisha.", Dono ka parichaya unhone he karwaya toh Arjun ne seedhe khade hote hue hath jodd kar abhivadan kia.

"He's one big guy Uncle and handsome too. You look really good young man.", Alisha ne muskurate hue Arjun ko seene se lagate hue halke se gaal ko chooma toh Col sahab ne bhi halki si gardan ek taraf karte hue Arjun ko ishara kia waisa he karne ka. Unke gulabi mulayam gaal par halke se honth rakhte he ek dilkash khushbu saanso me utar gai. Alisha ka shikanja bhi halka kass gaya tha Arjun par lekin sab itna jaldi hua ke kisi ko iska bhaan na hua. Dono fir se tehjeeb purvak khade the.

"Beta Preeti abhi tumhare he ghar so rahi hai. Usko bula do jara.", Col sahab ki baat sunkar Arjun turant waha se nikal lia. Alisha ka tej woh abhi tak mehsoos kar raha tha. Aur kaisi khushbu thi jo woh waha khade chote daadu ko bhi bhool gaya tha. Apni he soch me woh ghar ke andar chala aaya jaha uski Rani pehle se he khadi thi aur aangan me baitha ye vyakti Arjun ko dekh kar seedha khada ho gaya.

"Baith jao bhaiya. Toh aap lekar aaye the meri motorcycle?", Woh vyakti chai pee raha tha lekin Arjun ko dekh kar cup rakh dia tha.

"Bhaiya Ji ye toh SHO sahab ka driver chodd kar gaya tha raat 10 baje. chabi isme he lagi hai. Aap aa gaye ho toh fir main bhi jata hu."

"Pehle chai pee lijiye araam se. Waise aapne kidhar jana ha?"

"Ji yaha se toh seedha pehle auto he lunga civil haspataal ka, fir wahi duty hai meri."

"Aap woh kaale wali motorcycle le jana. Gollu naam ka patient agar aap khoj pao toh iski chabi unke hawale kar dena nahi toh fir Tejpal mama ke thane khadi kar dena, Bijender tak woh pahucha denge.", Arjun ne jaise he Bijender naam lia toh ye vyakti sar haa me hilane laga.

"Ji wahi duty hai meri. Bijender Singh ke sath dead body leke unke gaanv he jana hai, Pandit ji ne kal raat he ye kaam jimme laga dia tha.", Arjun dhanyawaad karta hua unse hath mila kar andar galiyare me he aaya tha ke sidha Preeti se takra gaya. Woh bhi apni he dhunn me aa rahi thi aur Arjun se takrate he girne lagi lekin fir uski he baahon ne Preeti ko thaam lia.

"Matlab ab main najar bhi nahi aata?", Sab itni jaldi hua tha aur upar se Arjun ka aisa kehna. Preeti ki dhadkan badh gai thi yu achanak uski bahon me khud ke hone se.

"Wapis aati hu, please jaane do. Main late ho gai hu.", Preeti bahar dekh rahi thi jaise waha koi usko bulane he naa aa gaya ho aur idhar Arjun ne sahi mauka dekh kar uske hontho par halka sa chumban karte hue ajaad kar dia.

"Abhi batati hu tumhe, fayeda uthane lage ho.", Woh jhunjhlati hui bahar aangan ki taraf aai toh Viky unhe dekhne ke baad wapis ja rahi thi. Preeti sar pe hath marti hui uske he peeche chal di.

"Pata tha ke ghar pe hum 2 he log hai fir bhi poori raat bahar. Arre ye tere honth aur hath par kya hua lalla?", Lalita ji shikayat karti hui ekdum he ghabra kar Arjun ko bade dhyaan se dekhne lagi. Matlab is se pehle woh 3 logo se mila tha aur unhone kisi ne gor na kia uski halat par.

"Taai ji, araam se baitho aap yaha. Kuch nahi hua hai mujhe. Woh kal Menaka ji ko thoda market leke gaya tha aur wapis aate hue tyre slip ho gaya tha. Mamuli si chott aai hai lekin us waqt aata toh aapne sabko bata dena tha. Dekho bilkul thik hu aur woh Menaka ji ke thodi sar pe chott aai thi isliye unhe doctor ke le jana pada aur deri hone ke wajah se main wahi ruk gaya. Bilkul thik hu aur aap bas doodh bana do fir mujhe tayar bhi hona hai.", Arjun ne apni ghabrai hui pyaari taai ji ko gale laga kar aaswast kia toh woh fir bhi usko dhyaan se dekhne lagi.

"Tu kahi nahi jaa raha hai. Fauj ki duty nahi hai, school hai. Ghar pe reh kar araam kar, keh deti hu.", Taai ji parwah aur halke gusse se itna bol kar rasoighar me chali gai toh Arjun Madhuri didi wale kamre ki taraf chal dia. Usko ummeed thi ki Preeti yahi soyi ho gi Aarti didi ke sath aur waisa he tha. Darwaja shayad Preeti wapis bhida kar chali gai thi aur is waqt andar bister par Aarti didi ast-vyast halat me darwaje ki taraf he mooh karke so rahi thi. Arjun araam se unke pas baith kar niharne laga. Woh toh hamesha he masoom dikhti thi aur ab bhi waisi he kisi chhoti bachi si woh neend me doobi thi. Kandhe tak safed chaadar ko Arjun ne halke se neeche kia toh chehre par halki si hansi aa gai.

Aarti ko jaise kapdo ka bhi hosh na tha ya fir koi aur wajah hogi. Unka ek gulabi nipple us dheeli tshirt se halka sa bahar nikla hua jhaank raha tha. Ek baar poore ubhar ko sehlate hue Arjun ne wapis top upar kia toh Aarti ne hath pakad lia.

"Sone de Preeti ki bachi, ab dard nahi hai."

"Atcha ji, Preeti yaha tak hath lagane lagi hai?", Arjun ne kaan me sargoshi ki toh Aarti ne mooh chaadar me chipa lia. Usko aise sharmate dekh Arjun halka sa apna bhar dalte hue chadar ke upar se he unke gaal par honth rakhe baith gaya.

"Please, koi aa jayega. Woh Preeti ne sirf hath rakha tha yaha kyonki mujhe ajeeb lag raha tha andar se.", Dhimi awaaj me Aarti didi ne Arjun ko apna sach bataya.

"Fir ye bahar kaise tha? Maine he andar kia abhi.", Andaje se Arjun ne seene ka wahi ubhar pakadte hue halke se dabaya toh woh sisak uthi.

"sshhh.. Yahi dard hai. Mat karo na Arjun."

"Didi, yaha gilti bani hui hai. Aapne inhe sakhti se dabaya tha kya? Ya koi chott lagi idhar?", Arjun ab seedha ho kar baith gaya tha. Fir Aarti bhi uski baat sunkar khud ko sehaj karti hui ek minute me aane ka bol kar bahar chali gai. Arjun taai ji ki awaaj sunn kar bahar aaya toh bathroom ka darwaja band dekh samajh gaya tha ke didi kaha gai hai aur table par uski khuraak rakhi thi.

"Sone dena tha bechari ko. Raat 2 baje tak toh ye mere panv daba rahi thi. Preeti bhi mere kamre me he thi. Ab neend poori nahi hogi toh sara din aalas chadha rahega.", Taai ji ki baat sunn kar Arjun unhe dekhne laga.

"Aapko kya hua tha ? Main doctor ke le chalta hu thodi der me."

"Arre lalla jaisa soch raha hai waisa kuch nahi hai. Kal sara din araam he kia tha aur fir raat me pindali ki nass chadh gai thi. Upar se ye dono mere kamre me jab aai toh main khud maalish karne me lagi thi toh dono ladkiya shuru ho gai. Fir na sone dia aur na khud soyi. Chal doodh pee le fir araam kar lio. Saadhe 6 baje hai toh 9 baje tak nashta tayaar karungi. Maa ji ka phone aaya tha ke woh log 6 baje tak aayenge shaam ko.", Idhar Aarti didi bahar aai toh chehra dhula hua tha aur shayad seene par unhone pinjra pehan lia tha.

"Beta, teri coffee bhi tayaar hai. Main jara diya batti kar du kyunki maa ji nahi hai. Tum log baitho.", Aarti didi sakuchati si Arjun ke samne baith gai aur taaiji hath dhone ke baad mandir me chal di, jo Kaushalya ji ke kamre ke sath he bana tha. Agla aadha ghanta toh ab woh wahi rehne wali thi.

"Ye tumhe kya hua?", Aarti didi ne bhi ab dhyaan dia tha Arjun par aur unko bhi wahi kahani bata di jo taai ji se kahi thi.

"Ab batao aap, waha guilty kaise bani? Aur aapne ye fir inko jakad lia bra me?", Halki awaaj lekin spasht shabd kehne par Aarti ek pal ke liye najre jhuka kar baith gai.

"Woh galti se ho gaya jab tumhare pas se aai thi uske baad. Ho jayega thik apne aap he."

"Aise thik nahi hone wala. Daadi ki daraj me 'olimesa' ki shishi padi hai woh le kar upar aa jana nashta karne ke baad. Abhi aap taai ji ke sath raho.", Aarti didi jameen me nakhoon gadane lagi thi uski aisi baat sunn kar aur Arjun jyada kuch baat kahe bina doodh khatam karta upar chal dia, apne kamre me.

"Bal-bal bache ho tum mere bhai. Kismat atchi thi tumhari jo gaadi se bahar uchle bhi toh aisi jagah gire jaha jameen naram thi aur kisi ki goli ka shikar nahi bane. Kuch kehna chahoge?", Lucky is private hospital ke vatanukulit kaksh me bister par lete apne dost Sanjiv ko chai pila raha tha. Chaati par ek feet chaudi patti bandhi thi aur sar pe bhi 4 tanke aaye tha. Paanv ka jodd hil gaya tha jisko sahare ke sath seedha karte hue gulabi patti ke sath lapeta hua tha. Kharoche toh bahot thi lekin shayad woh utni badi ya dard dene wali na thi.

"Mera chhota bhai mujhe kuch hone nahi deta Lucky. Pehli baar woh mujhe apne se kahi paripakwa aur sanjida laga. Waise toh woh mujhse bahot pyaar karta hai lekin aaj agar zinda hu toh uski wajah se. Waha akela hota toh main bhi marr gaya hota, 2 he goli toh bachi thi jo maine Mohar Singh par kharch kar di thi. Waise baaki 2 log aur the, unka kya hua?", Sanjiv ki baat sunn kar Lucky asmanjas me padd gaya.

"Matlab un dono ka woh haal tumne nahi kia tha?"

"Maine bataya na bhai ke sirf Mohar Singh mere nishane par aaya tha aur uske baad toh koi meri gardan bhi daba deta toh main shayad hath bhi na pakda pata unka. Jaan he nahi thi."

"Sanjiv, unme se ek jindgi bhar wheelchair par rehne wala hai aur dusra jo gaadi par mila tha abhi bhi critical hai. Bach toh jayega lekin zindagibhar aam halat me toh nahi rehne wala. Arjun ne kia unka woh haal?"

"Ye baat bahar nahi jaani chahiye. Woh is case me kahi bhi nahi hai dhyaan rakhna. Aur woh kya kar sakta hai ye toh hum log ummeed bhi nahi kar sakte.", Sanjiv bhaiya ka jo hath thoda behtar tha usme unhone cup thaam lia. Lucky uthkar ek khidki kholne ke baad cigrettee jalata hua Sanjiv ko kash lagwane laga.

"Jis tarah woh tujhe araam se uthaye tha woh dekh kar main bhi samajh sakta hu ki woh khaas hai. Lekin tumhe us apradhi Bheem Singh ki report dekhni chahiye. Thodi der pehle he Dr Gulati ne sanjhi ki thi."

"Aisa kya tha usme? Kuch ghabrane wali baat toh nahi?"

"Unhone report toh khair khud he badal kar sar me goli lagna bata dia lekin jaisa uske sharir ka haal asli report me tha toh woh zinda waise bhi na rehta. Kai jagah toh gaadi ka steel 3 inch tak jism ke andar tha aur sar se paanv tak 27 fracture. Kisi ne usko 5-6 manjil se jaise neeche fenka ho. Chaati ki haddi andar he uske fefde me ghus chuki thi. Ab main tumhari baat se ittefaq rakhta hu ke hum log ummeed bhi nahi kar sakte ke woh kya kar sakta hai. Bahar walo par najar rakhne ke sath uske upar bhi najar rakhni chahiye.", Lucky ke is mashware par Sanjiv bhaiya ke sooje hue chehre par ek feeki hansi aa gai.

"Galti bhi nahi kar sakte hum ye karne ki. Usko mere baare me pata tha pehle se he. Usne pehle bhi mere se kuch sawaal kiye the jinke liye mujhe jhoot bolna pada aur sahi kahu toh hum-tum jitne marji undercover ya shatir bann jaye woh apni nadaani me he humse kahi aage hai. Tune jaha se phone kia tha na toh woh tujhpar bhi najar rakhe tha. Hum sab bas apna kaam kare toh jyada thik rahega, Arjun peeche pada toh woh sirf sahi aur galat samajhta hai. Keemat bahut badi chukani padd sakti hai mere bhai.", Sanjiv ekaek gambhir ho chuka tha.

"Usko kisi ka support hai?"

"Ek tarah se toh kisi ka bhi nahi hai kyonki pariwar ka koi sadasya aisa nahi chahega. Lekin kahi na kahi Dada ji jarur sath hai. Shayad unhe bhi nahi pata ke Arjun kitna kuch khojne me laga hai. Filhal uske sabhi raste band ho gaye hai aage badhne ke. Bas tum abse koi galti mat karna aur main bhi dhyaan rakhunga.", Sanjiv thoda araam karna chahta tha aur Lucky ne bhi us bister ko sirhane ki taraf se thoda upar karne ke baad apne dost ko thik se litaya aur kuch der baithne ke baad kaam par chala gaya.

Subah 8 baje tak Bijender apne kuch dosto ki madad se Mohar Singh ki lash hospital se ganv leke aa gaya tha. Ab pariwar me toh khas log the nahi fir bhi antim-sanskaar karna uska daitva tha. Pehli baar bade pariwar se Madhulata apni beti Richa ke sath unke ganv aai thi. Bhanvri devi jo Bijender ki badi maami thi, unse gale lag kar mili thi. Mahol gamgeen tha kyonki us peedhi ka Mohar Singh aakhiri vyakti aur ek tarah se Sitara devi ka waris he tha. Nohre me purusho ke liye alag vyavastha ki gai thi jidhar Bijender sab dekh raha tha. Milne wale wahi shok mana rahe the. Ghar me Anupama ka bhi thoda bura haal tha, aakhir baap toh Mohar Singh he tha uska chahe woh kaisa bhi tha charitra se. Akshara hamesha se wahi sapaat chehra liye kaam kar rahi thi.

"Atcha kia Munni tu chali aai beti. Humne toh ummeed he na thi ki us ghar se kabhi yaha koi aayega. Mere saare bete bhagwan ko pyaare ho gaye.", Sitara devi ki aankhen sookh chuki thi ro ro kar lekin Madhulata aur Richa ke gale lagte he woh fir bhavuk ho gai. Richa ne he Anupama ko sambhala aur himmat bandhai.

"Sushila didi kaisi hai ab?", Madhulata ne Babita se gale lagne ke baad apni jethani ka bhi pata lena uchit samjha.

"Maa ne chutti na milti chachi abhi. Arr thik bhi hai uska wahi rehna. Mama jihsa bhi tha ghar me ek badda toh tha lekin woh bhi na raha. Baat buri lagegi lekin main fer kahungi ke haadse hote rehve hai lekin insaan ka farz hai unse seekh lena aur pariwar me rehna. Sabne dekh lia ke bura karna aur chahna kade thik koni hove. Balwaan bechara apne ghar ka eklauta jawaan chhora tha chachi. Ke galti thi us bechare ki? Uski patni peit se hai arr baap pehle he koni tha Balwan ka. Kise bhi ghar se koi ek ki maut koni hoi chachi, pariwar maare gaye sabke sirf Maa ki zidd arr lalach se.", Babita ne jitni sakhti se apni baat shuru ki thi utni he jaldi uske chehre par aansuo ki baadh aa gai thi.

"Beti main samajh sakti hu ke tu apni maa se pyaar karti hai isliye jo Sushila ne kia tune kabhi virodh na kia lekin tu sath bhi nahi thi. Aakhiri mauka toh sabko milna chahiye.", Madhulata ka dil bhi alag he tha jo itni badi baat keh rahi thi, sabkuch jaante hue.

"Chachi, Bijender beshak maa ne aur mauke de lekin mera toh jee bhar lia eb. Inke phool chugg liave Bijender fer ya toh maa aade rahvegi ya main. Beti hu toh seva karungi lekin chutti mile pachhe daadi ke paav pakad ke maafi maange arr prayschitt kare.", chehra saaf karne ke baad Babita bhi gaanv ki mahilao ke pas baith gai. Kuch he samay baad Mohar Singh ke sharir ko arthi par liye purush sadasya/gaanv ke log shamshaan chale gaye. Haveli ke aangan me log shok karte rahe aur milne aate rahe.

"Sukanya nahi aai Akshara?", Richa Anupama ke kamre me thi jaha judwa Akshara unke liye chai leke aai thi.

"Woh samajhdar hai jo in sabse alag reh kar apni zindagi bana rahi hai. Baap uska bhi nahi tha lekin didi badlaav ka mehatva jaanti hai aur in janjiro me waise bhi kaun rehna chahega.", Akshra hamesha shant rehti thi lekin filhal woh bolna chahti thi.

"Tum bhi toh janjiro se nikal sakti thi?", Richa ki baat sunn kar woh apni 10 minute badi behan ko dekhne lagi jo sar jhukaye baithi thi.

"Ye hai mere yaha rehne ki wajah. Hamare baap ne toh poori koshish ki thi ki yaha na reh kar aapki tarah bahar rahe. Kuch bane aur zindagi me apna mukaam banaye. Aap toh saal baad sarkari afsar bann jaogi lekin meri zindagi iski wajah se andhere me he reh gai. Isko sambhalti rahi hu aur is ghar pe bhi najar rakhti rahi. Badi behan ye hai lekin Bijender ke siwa kabhi isko kuch dikha nahi. Majburi hai ke main pyaar karti hu is se nahi toh main toh yaha ek pal na rukti.", Akshara ki kadwi baat me jara bhi jhooth na tha. Anupama ke aankhon me ye naye aansu aa gaye the apni chhoti behan ki halat dekh kar.

"Koi baat nahi, gussa mat ho. Papa ne kaha hai ke woh somwar ko tumhara Ph.D. ke liye aavedan de denge. Hostel me rahogi Punjab University me toh jo dil kare woh karna. Main bhi milti rahungi aur isko karne do shaadi, umar hai iski aur koi toh sapne poore kare apne.", Richa ne Akshara ka ek hath thame hue he Anupama ka sar sehlate hue samjhaya.

"Is se toh gussa ho bhi nai sakti main. Shayad ye maa pe chali gai aur main baap pe. Oh ghar ki bahurani, tera khasam aa gaya hai neeche ja ke kapde de usko. Shamshan se aaya hai.", Akshara ki baat sunnkar Anupama roti hui uske seene se lag gai.

"Chup ho ja chal. Tere saamne he toh bol leti hu yaar. Aur suna ni ke main Somwar ko ja rahi hu, itne kamre me tu mere he sath hai. Samajhle mummy-papa wala rishta bas 4-5 din ka reh gaya apna. Itne rona band kar aur jaa ke kaam kar thoda.", Richa dhyaan se sunn rahi thi uski baar aur fir aansu saaf karti hui Anupama bahar nikal gai.

"Ye konsa rishta hai tum dono ka?"

"Mia-biwi wala. Abhi toh bataya tha aapko ke main papa pe gai hu aur ye maa pe. 11 ke baad subah 4 tak mere sath he soti hai. Kamre dikhane ko alag hai mere lekin hum dono ko neend ek dusre ke sath he aati hai. Chalo aap bhi neeche aa jao mooh-hath dho kar. Chachi wapis jaane wali hai.", Akshara ka ye andaaj alag he tha lekin jaise Richa ko andesha tha aur woh dono jaise ek dusre ko behtar jaanti thi. Din ke 11 baj chuke the.

Idhar Rameshwar ji ke ghar pe subah sadhe 9 baje rojana se alag sirf 3 log the. Lalita ji dono ko nashta karwane ke baad ab kapde dhone lagi thi. Samne Kashyap ji ki bahu unse baatein karti hui kapde dhulwane me madad bhi kar rahi thi. Lalita ji ne toh mana kia tha lekin Saroj hansti hui apna pallu kamar me khonsti hui balti se kapde khangal kar unhe pakdane lagi.

Upar Arjun kuch kaam karne ke baad kursi par baitha he the ki is aahat se palat kar dekhne laga. Darwaje se andar aa kar Aarti didi sehmi si najre jhukaye khadi thi.

"Aa jaiye idhar. Mujhse darr lag raha hai kya aapko?", Arjun ki baat sunn kar woh naa me gardan hilati hui uski kursi ke pas chali aai.

"Ghar me taaiji hai?"

"Atcha toh is baat se pareshan hai aap. Woh 2 ghante se pehle toh kaam khatam karne se rahi. Sath he woh aise upar nahi aati jabtak jaruri kaam na ho.", Arjun ne unke dono hath pakadte hue pyaar se unke bhole chehre ko dekha.

"Waise bhi main kuch karne nahi wala jis se aapko dikkatt ho.", Arjun khada ho kar unhe bed ki kinare baithte hue woh teil ki shishi sath rakhe chote stool par rakhta unhe seedha leitne ko bolne laga.

"Fir bhi Arjun.", Woh halka ghabra rahi thi lekin seedhi leit kar bas usko dekhne lagi. Arjun unki kamar ke pas baith kar araam se tshirt upar karne laga. Usne toh Aarti ke seene par najar tak na daali thi. Hath un ubharo par halke se lagte he woh samajh gaya didi ne bra nahi pehni hui.

"Aapko jo sikhata hu woh raat me sone se pehle khud bhi kar lena.", Woh rangheen teil hath par dalne ke baad sirf ek najar didi ne nirvastra gol ubharo ko dekh kar usne halke se ek ubhar ko kinaro se pakadte hue ghadi ki disha se uspar teil se maalish shuru kar di. Na jyada dabaav aur na sakhti. Woh alag baat thi ki uske aise khule sparsh se Aarti didi ki aankhen band ho chuki thi aur nipple ubhar kar sakht ho gaya tha. Fir stann ki jadd se nipple tak dono hatho se malish karne laga. Hali gilti ka ehsaas ab hua tha.

"Aise he ek bar clock-wise aur fir bottom to top. 5-5 minute karna.", Arjun ne unhe smajhaya toh woh aankhen khol kar ummeed se usko dekhne lagi.

"Idhar wale par bhi kar do."

"Thik hai.", Woh hansta hua unke chehre ko niharne laga.

"Main atchi nahi lagti tumhe?"

"Aap pagal ho didi? Mujhe toh aap badi pyaari lagti ho aur waise aap ho bhi pyaari aur masoom. Subah main aapke pas baitha yahi dekh raha tha.", Arjun malish karte hue mehsoos kar raha tha ke ye ubhar bilkul durust tha. Lekin fir unka khud he usko kehna bahot kuch bata raha tha.

"Mujhe waise he kiss karo jaise kal ki thi.", Aarti didi ki aisi maang sunn kar Arjun ne is baar dono ubharo par hath rakhte hue unke upar jhuk kar dono gulabi hontho par apne honth rakh diye. Aarti didi jaise sachmuch andar se bhari hui thi jo us se lipat kar khud he betahasha choomne lagi. Arjun ubhar se hath hatane laga toh khud unhone wapis hath wahi rakh dia. Fir halke se sharir kaampne laga toh woh honth mooh me bhare he rukk gai. Hath Arjun se lipte usko apne se lagaye woh Arjun ki aankhon me dekhne lagi.

"Mujhe tumhare sath akele rehna hai poora din.", Unki aisi maang jayaj thi. Kitne samay se Aarti didi ghar pe thi aur Arjun ko pyaar karne ke bawjood aajtak ek pal khudse nahi manga tha unhone.

"Mere sath Punjab chalengi Sunday ko? Main Priyanka didi ko bol dunga ke woh yahi rahe aur aap mere sath chal padna. Sunday aapke sath aur Monday kaam hone ke baad jab aap kahengi hum wapis aa jayenge.", Arjun ne tshirt thik karne ke baad unka chehra pyaar se sehalate hue kaha toh Aarti didi ne uska hath apne gaal par he daba lia.

"Didi ko sath he chalne do, jaha tak mujhe maloom hai unka bhi dil hoga tumahre sath rehne ka."

"Fir kaise mumkin hai mera aapke sath waha akele rehna?"

"Woh main apne aap kar lungi bas daadi ko bol dena ke tum mujhe bhi lekar ja rahe ho apne sath. Main unhe samjha dungi ki mere college me mera he jana jaruri hai.", Arjun ne haami bharte hue is baar khud he unke hontho ko chooma aur fir khada ho gaya.

"Jaisa aap kahe. Aur ab apne kamre me jaa kar thodi der inhe ajaad kar ke leit jana.", Arjun ki baat par woh khush hoti hui uska gaal choom kar neeche chali gai. Arjun bhi hath dhone ke baad apni diary khol kar baith gaya. Jaane woh kya likhta raha woh agle 5-6 minute.

"Toh bhaiya ji yaha ho aap. Poore ghar me dhoond lia maine aapko.", Arjun is meethi chehakti awaaj ko sunn kar dang reh gaya. Saroj bhabhi uske kamre me aa gai thi.

"Bhabhi aap toh geeli ho kar aai ho. Aaj holi toh nahi hai.", Arjun ne gardan ghuma kar hare blouse aur saree me khadi Saroj bhabhi ke sharir ka poora jayja lete hue kaha. Blouse sharir se chipka hua tha aur paani ki wajah se rang aur gehra dikhne laga. Gore ubhar halke se bahar tak aaye hue chamak rahe the. Safed peit par nabhi se neeche bandhi saree aur unka shararti chehra dekh kar Arjun khud he sharma gaya.

"Khel lo holi devar ji. Maine toh mana bhi nahi kia kabhi. Ulta kahi pichkari kaam nahi karti toh baat alag hai. Waise toh usdin bhi peecha chuda ke bhaag aaye the.", Woh aage ki baat sune bina uske kareeb he bister ke kinare baith gai thi.

"Aunty wahi the bhabhi aur aap toh kamaal he ho. Seedha mera gaal he choom lia. Aise kaun karta hai.?", Arjun halki sharam se itna kehta farsh dekhne laga.

"Aaye haye dekho toh kaise gaal laal ho rahe hai. Ladki main hu aur sharma tum rahe ho. Gaal he chooma tha kaunsa kapde utarne lagi thi. Aur rahi meri saas ki baat toh sabko pata hai ke woh ghar se kyon nahi nikalti. Pas ka toh fir bhi najar aa jata hai unhe chasme se lekin 6 feet dur toh sab rang barabar hai. Glucoma hai unhe. Waise ab tum ho he itne pyaare toh bhabhi kaise na choome.", Saroj bhabhi jab bhi dur se dekhi thi toh hamesha sharmati ya najre churati dekhi thi Arjun ne lekin pichli 4-5 baar se toh woh jaise Arjun ko he chupp karwa deti thi.

"Bhabhi, aap janti ho ki jo hua woh galat tha aur agar aage badhe toh woh bhi galat he hoga. Masti majaak kabhi kabhi bahar nikal jata hai.", Arjun ne himmat karte hue unka gora hath pakadte hue apne dil ki baat keh di. Woh jaha uske dwara hath pakadne se khush hui wahi baat sunn kar najre jhuka li.

"Shaadi ko saal bhar toh ho chuka hai Arjun lekin meri sab ummeed dum chodd chuki hai. Bahar begairat hone se toh atcha hai ke tumhare hatho he khud ko saump du. Tum behno aur pariwar ke beech pale badhe samajhdar ladke ho jo mere sath apne sambandh bahar nahi jahir karoge.", Saroj bhabhi ne chand shabdo me he apni zindagi ka sach uske samne rakh dia tha. Arjun achraj se kabhi unhe dekhta kabhi unke thande hatho ko.

"Sach kahu toh tumhare bhaiya ka sambandh kisi aur se hai. Woh bhi shaadi se pehle se he. Unhe main sirf ghar ke hisab se pasand hu, bahu ki tarah. Patni nahi. Tumne toh dekha he hoga ke woh neem-andhere nikal jaate hai fir 2-3 din baad aana aur fir wapis chale jana. Mere saas-sasur bahot atche hai aur main unke sath khush bhi hu."

"Bhabhi aap khush hai toh fir ye sab kyu? Aur konse sambandh aise hote hai jinhe bahar nahi jahir karte? Devar-bhabhi ka he toh rishta hai.", Arjun aise waqt me koi kadam pehle nahi lene wala tha. Beshak bhabhi ki baat dukh pahuchane wali thi aur usko humdardi bhi thi.

"Isko khush dikhna kehte hai, rehna nahi Arjun. Aurat hu gaaye nahi ki khareed laye aur khoonte se bandh dia. Yaha shaadi pariwar ki marji se ki maine kyonki ek toh ye log atche bhi hai upar se bina kisi maang ke saade tarike se byaah karke laye. Meri 2 aur behne hai lekin unke upar sirf meri maa hai. 3-4 saal me unki shaadi ke waqt meri sooni kokh bahut kuch keh jayegi. Lekin tum nahi samajh sakte kyonki ho sakta hai mera aise khudko thaali me parosna tumhe mera alag he charitra dikhata ho.", Woh ab geeli aankhe liye waha se uth kar chalne lagi lekin hath toh abhi tak Arjun ke hath me tha.

"Aise kaise chali jayengi aap? Itni der se apni kahi ja rahi hai aur fir devar se rooth ko jaogi kaha?", Arjun ne halke se apni taraf unhe jhatka toh woh uski baahon me aa lagi.

"Bhabhi, maaf karna main pehle baat samajhna chahta tha. Aisa hai na ke ye devar shararat karta nahi lekin agar galti ho jaye toh rukna bhi nahi aata. Ab jara aakhiri sawaal ka jawaab bhi de he do.", Arjun ne unki gudaaj naram kamar pakadte hue haule se kaha.

"Bahot bure ho tum. Pucho ab bhi kuch reh gaya ho toh.", Woh sajal netro se usko pal bhar dekhne ke baad uske seene se lagi rahi.

"Aapka raajdar kaun hai? Aisa kadam kisi ko vishwas me liye bina toh mumkin nahi.", Arjun saree ke upar se he unke bahar ki taraf nikle motte nitambh ka jayja lete hue bola.

"Lalita aunty ko maine sab bataya hai. Ek wahi hai jinke sath meri atche se bolchal hai aur unhone bhi kaha tha ke agar tumne inkaar kar dia toh fir woh koi madad nahi karengi. Please unke samne ye mat kehna.", Drawing room ka darwaja bade araam se bahar se band hua aur Arjun taaiji ke aisa karne par mand-mand muskura raha tha.

"Bhaiya ne thodi mehnat ki hai ya sab mujhe he karna hoga?", Arjun waise he unhe liye khada tha aur aisi baat ne Saroj bhabhi ke chehre par bhi laali la di thi.

"3-4 baar kia hai lekin bataya na 2-3 minute bas. Na karte toh fir meri halat itni buri nahi hoti."

"Haalat jyada bhi buri ho sakti hai. Aur aap abhi tayaar hai?"

"Tumhari chutti kharaab toh nahi jaani chahiye.", Firse unke laal adhro par purani muskurahat aa gai thi. Jyada samay na kharaab karta woh unke sath he bister par dheh gaya. Saroj bhabhi chanchal hone ke sath he ek bharpoor unnatt sharir ki malkin thi. Aaj wahi naram maansal jism Arjun ke sharir ke neeche daba tha. Jaldi he dono bister par ek dusre se ulajhte hue sharir se khel rahe the.

"Ruko, ghar bhi jana hai mujhe.", Uske bahupash se nikalti woh khud he 2 minute baad sirf safed bra aur hare petikot me uske saamne thi. Halka sa ubhra chikna peit aur motte motte tane hue anaar Arjun ko dikhati woh julfe peeche karne ke sath he uski goad me aa baithi.

"Ghar jaane me waqt lagega bhabhi.", Arjun ne bra ke upar wale anavrit hisse par hontho se pyaar jatya aur woh bhi kamar aage karti uska sar apne anaro ke upar dabane lagi.

"Aahh.. deri toh thik hai lekin fate haal jaane par sawal ho sakte hai.. umm", Jald he bra ki dono pattiya dheeli ho chuki thi. Bhoore tanne hue nipple unglio se marodta woh ab bhabhi ke hontho ko choom raha tha. Saroj bhabhi ko bhi ye naya ehsaas hua jo kapdo ke upar se he unke naram khajane par lag raha tha. Lekin Arjun ka har sparsh aag bhadka raha tha unke tann me. Beparwah si woh uski pakad me machal rahi thi. Jald he dono motte ubhar Arjun ke panjo ke sath he hontho ke kalakari dekhne lage.

"Shhh.. aahh.. Araam se baba.. ye najuk hai.", Masti aur halke dard me kamar peeche hone lagi thi aur aise karte dekh Arjun ne unhe bister par he lita dia. Ab woh khulkar unke dono chuche peeta aur masalta petikot ki ganth khol chuka tha.

"Meri chutti ka aapko pata tha.?"

"Aahh.. Baatein baad me kar lena please. Kal mujhe pata laga tha ke ghar ke log aaj shaam aane wale hai.. ummm. maine request ki thi ki aahhh.. woh meri madad kar de.. baaki main kar lungi.. umm.", Woh taange uthana chahti thi lekin Arjun ne bharpoor ujale me pehle unhe nirvastra karna he uchit samjha. Petikot ke neeche koi kachi na thi. Naabhi se 3 inch neeche aadhi hatheli jitne hisse me woh maheen baal bata rahe the ki unhe jaise aaj-kal me he saaf kia gaya ho. Jaanghe motti aur bharavdar aapas me chipki hui Saroj bhabhi ka khajana chupa rahi thi.

"Dard hoga aapko.", Arjun ne jaise he unki taage dur ki toh saamne woh gulabi motti faanke jaise intjaar he kar rahi thi. Halka sa nichla hissa gehre rang ka tha lekin kahi bhi koi baal nahi.

"Mujhe nahi lagta ke dard hoga. Aur hone do jo hota hai...aahhh..", Narma dehakti choot me ek ungli jaate he Arjun jaise nirikshan karne laga. Pehli ungli he andar mushkil se sarki thi lekin chiknaai bata rahi thi ko woh uttejjit hai. Saamne teil par najar padte he Arjun Aarti didi ka shukriya ada karne laga. Atchi tarah bhabhi ki choot teil se tarr karne ke baad woh bhi apna pajama utar kar ek taraf baith gaya. Jadd se supade tak chikna karne ke sath he woh bina deri kiye unke upar kisi baadal ki tarah chaa gaya tha. Ab Saroj bhabhi ko pata chala tha ke woh sach me he kahi jyada bada aur chauda hai. Sehat toh dekhi thi unhone lekin nirvastra dono aaj he the.

"Cheekhna matt.", Arjun ke dimag me kuch aur he chal raha tha jo woh aaj kuch alag kar raha tha. Lekin Saroj bhabhi ka kanth sookh gaya jab woh dehakta hua motta supada unki choot pe aa tika. Taange chaudi thi aur ghutne mude hue. Arjun beech me sahi aasan liye ek hath se unka kandha pakde hontho par honth rakhta halka dabaav dene laga toh bhabhi ki gardan 'naa' me hilne lagi. Lekin aankhen band karti woh agle he pal tayaar bhi ho gai thi.

"Ummmm..maahhh...iiiiiiii", Hontho se honth toh alag na hue lekin unki motti choot ki faanke aukaat se jyada dur tak fail chuki thi is dabaav ke sath lage dhakke se. 3 inch lund un gulabi hontho ke andar fans gaya tha aur Arjun ki jeeb bhabhi ke daanto me dabi thi. Ek halka dhakka aur maarte he bhabhi ka kaumarya bhi bhang ho gaya.

"Aahhhiiiiii..maar dia .. arjunnnn.. fatt gai hai meri..aahhh..", Aankhon se paani aur choot se khoon ek raftar se he bahar nikal aaye. Sharir sunn ho gaya tha jaise garam loha unki choot ko faadta andar baith gaya ho. Arjun aadhe se jyada lund andar fansaye ab unhe sehla raha tha. 3-4 minute baad awaaj nikli toh Arjun ne paani ki bottle bhabhi ke hontho par lagai. Gala aur honth geele hote he woh dard bhare chehre se is jalim ko dekhne lagi jo dusre hath se unka ek chucha bedardi se masalta hua laal karne pe tula tha.

"Kaha fans gai main is chakkar me.. aahhh.. faad ke rakh di tumne aahhh.. aise kon karta hai..?"

"Bhabhi pehli baat toh aapne sex kia he nahi tha. Dusra aapka kaumarya sakht tha, maine khud ungli se check kia tha. Aisa nahi karta toh hum kuch kar nahi sakte the. Jhooth kyu bola aapne?"

"Kaise kehti ki unka kaam he nahi karta.. unnnn.. par tumhara itna bada hai bata toh sakte the. Jaan nikal rahi hai meri."

"Dard toh mujhe bhi hua bhabhi.. Aapka sharir dubla-patla hota toh main karta bhi nahi. Waise ho aap pakki bhabhi he.", Arjun ne ek muskaan ke sath fir se unke hontho ko mooh me lete hue utne he ling ko halke se thoda nikal kar aadha he rasta kholna shuru kia. Woh uski majboot pakad me halki tadaf rahi thi lekin agle 5 minute me he gulabi diwaro ka sookhapan kam hone laga.

"Aah.. bedardi ho devar ji.. ummm.. aahhh.. sachmuch maar he doge agar koi thandi ladki gale padd gai toh.. umm.. aahhh..", Bhabhi abhi itne me he behaal thi aur Arjun apni taaiji ke baare me soch raha tha.

"Bhabhi, abhi aadha bahar he hai. Mujhe lagta hai itne me he aaj santusht ho jao baaki agli baar andar karunga.", Arjun ki baat sunn kar Saroj bhabhi ne aankhen badi karte hue hath neeche lagaya toh fir se saans atak gai. Arjun samajh gaya ke ye itna he jhel sakti hai. Pyaar se agle 3-4 minute me he unhe khaali karke woh alag hua toh Saroj bhabhi aankhen band kiye apne muniya sehla rahi thi.

"Thik kaha tumne. Poora lena mere bas me bhi nahi, chaal kharaab toh abhi ho gai hogi. Aahhh.. lekin tumhara?"

"bhabhi aap araam karo thoda main thik karta hu aapko. Aur uske baad chupchap ye bahar wale raste se he ghar chali jana.", Arjun bathroom se halka garam pani leke aaya aur unki lahuluhan choot ko atche se saaf karte hue dhyaan bhi dene laga ke jyada nuksaan na hua ho. Kapde pehnane ke baad khud he unhe khada kia.

"Devar ji.. aahh.. ye sab mere ghar he karna ..aahh. abhi toh jaise taise pahuch bhi jaungi lekin ye ajgar poora le lia toh uthne wali nahi.", Arjun ka ling chootras me bheega abhi tak akda hua tha. Saroj bhabhi ne pehli baar he shayad ek dhang ka lund dekha tha. Saroj bhabhi grill pakadti apne ghar ke liye nikal gai aur Arjun kuch sochne ke baad nahane chala gaya. 15 minute baad woh ab neeche dada ji ke kamre me ke number mila raha tha.

"Ji Arjun Sharma, Umed Chacha ko itna bata dijiye.", Samne wali taraf jo bhi tha usne Arjun ko line par rakhte hue dusri taraf ki line par baat ki. Jald he dono baat karne lage. Is waqt Arjun chaukas bhi tha aur baat bhi savdhani se kar raha tha. 10 minute baad kuch nishchint hota woh wahi pasar gaya.

"Haan toh mera gift pasand aaya Lalla?", Taaiji uske pas aa baithi thi.

"Taai ji aise gift dene se pehle ye toh socha kijiye ke kahi main he na fass jau. Upar se woh pehli baar kar rahi thi.", Arjun thoda sanjida tha is waqt.

"Beta, bhali ladki hai woh aur kisi ka ghar bas raha ho teri wajah se toh woh galat toh nahi. Haan woh pehli baar ye kar rahi hai ye mujhe bhi nahi pata tha.", Lalita ji kuch sochne lagi thi.

"Pehle mere sath upar chal ke dekho kya ho gaya udhar.", Arjun unhe hath pakad kar apne sath liye chala aur Lalita ji bhi kisi aashanka ke baare me sochti turant sath ho li. Woh us se aage chalti kamre me aai toh idhar Arjun ne darwaja band kar dia.

"Kya hua, ye khoon toh chal utar jyaega. Aur kya hai idhar?"

"Aur ye hai taai ji.", Arjun ne peeche se unke dono gubbare jakad liye. Woh ek pal ko rukti fir muskurane lagi.

"Atcha toh apni he taai se hoshiyari. Chal dekhu kitna josh baaki hai uske sath karne ke baad.", Yaha dono majboot sharir mile the aur agle aadhe ghante me Arjun unhe 3 baar khali karne ke baad andar he faarig ho kar barabar leit chuka tha.

"Tu sachmuch ghoda hai re. Araam se nahi kar sakta tha kya? Sab hila kar rakh dia mera.", Taai ji bhi gehri saansein le rahi thi. Unke woh gosht se bhare motte chuche dono taraf se chatt ko dekhte Arjun ko jaise aur uttejjit karne lage.

"Jo aag lagai hai na taai ji woh toh ab nikalunga main. Aur aage se ye sab pehle mujhe pata hona chahiye.", Arjun ne unka foola hua gaal mooh me bharte hue dono kharbuje pakad liye. Taai ji toh jaise khud he tayaar thi ki woh unka har ang jhakjor de. Motte bhoore nipple chusakta woh ek baar fir unke younkund me poora utar gaya tha. Bas is baar pyaar karne ka tarika pehle sa tej na ho kar dheema aur gehra tha.

"Aah.. tu he mera khayal rakhta hai.. ummm.. Pata hai tu peeche se liye bina nahi jaane dega. Aaah.. Karle re..", Taaiji is baar 5-6 tagde dhakke me he jawaab de gai thi. Arjun unhe seedha litaye he dono bhari chikni taange upar uthata gaand ke bhoore challe ko niharne laga. Sachmuch taaiji he toh thi jinke har ang me kaamukta aur charbi bharpoor bhari thi. Jaitoon ke teil ki boonde udhar tapkata woh is mudra me he unke pichle chedd ko ubhare apna gulabi supada waha tikata dono motte chucho ko pakad kar dabav banane laga.

"Aahh.. ghoda hai re tu.. aahhmmmmm.. Lagta nahi fir tera tau kuch kar payega..aahhh.", Us gehri gufa me pal pratipal andar jaata woh vikral lund kulho ko chaudane laga tha. Idhar Arjun jabde bhinche poora andar utaar kar unse judd gaya. Hawa me upar uthi motti jaange aur unke beech fansa woh 9 inch ka baans dono ko ek pal araam deta thehar chuka tha. Jald he Arjun ne gati pakdi aur unke motte nipple choosta woh apni taai ji ke is chedd ka poora maja le raha tha. Lalita ji bhi jaise ab guda-dwar ke bina poora sukh mehsoos nahi karti thi. Arjun ka chehra uthati woh khud uske hontho ko khaane lagi aur aate ke tarah Arjun dono bade stanno ka bharpoor mardan karne me laga raha.

"Taaiji.. aahh. Sachmuch yaha alag he lagta hai.. aahh..Har dhakke par woh andkosh tak gaand ke chedd par bhidd raha tha. Chuche laal pad chuke the aur dono pasine me nayhaye hatne ka naam nahi le rahe the. Poora bahar kheench kar Arjun ne ek he baar me unki choot me thel dia.

"Aah.. tu jaanta hai re chudai kaise karte hai. Aahhhh.. mmmm.. Kar mere lalla.. aahh.. bahut dino baad tu milta hai re.", Ab woh bhi un moti fanko ke beech thoda chain se chudai karta jaha taha taaiji ko choom raha tha. Lund fir se foolne laga tha aur is baar shayad pehle se bhi kahi bhayankar aur dono ek sath halki kampkampi se jhadte chipke rahe.

"Peit se na ho jau isliye dawa leni shuru kar di hai tere is dande ki wajah se.. Lekin sach me sukoon toh aise he milta hai. Nihal kar dia lalla.", Dono paseene se bheege chaadar par pasre rahe. Arjun nanga he so gaya tha aur kuch samay baad taai ji bhi uth kar uspe chaadar dalti neeche chali gai. Agle 2 ghante tak usko koi hosh na tha.

"Puttar ji 3 vari 6 aun teh vaari khatam. Hun vekh mai teri eh pakki gitti kive wapis ghar pahuchandi aa.", Annu ki mata ji aur Arjun ludo khele me lage the. Woh thik dhai baje idhar aa gaya tha aur Annu se mile bina he woh drawing room me gatte ki ludo dekh kar aunty ke sath wahi baith gaya tha. Pichle 15 minute me aunty ne Arjun ki 2 gitti wapis band kar di thi aur khudki 2 home kar chuki thi. Ye teesri wali bhi 1 number se baal baal bach gai.

"Aunty vekho hunn fer main kive kholda vi ha teh isnu home karda ha.", Arjun 4 number aane par fir mayus ho gaya lekin gitti bach gai thi. Aunty hanste hue fir se ek bar 6 aur 5 laati uski pahuch se teesri wali bhi dur le chali. Idhar Annu lobby se un dono ko dekh rahi thi aur fir jab agle 5 minute tak dono aise he khoye rahe toh aa kar ludo palat di.

"Hadd ho gai dono ki. Mummy main kehya si ke eh jado aavega tah andar bhej dio. Naal ae khud vi tuhade varga he hai. main gall ni karni hunn kise vi naal.", Paanv patakti hui woh andar bhag gai aur idhar Arjun ne hanste hue khel wahi se laga dia.

"Jhalli hai aunty ji ae. Ehnu ki pata assi sab yaad rakhde ha."

"Puttar ji main jhalli ni haigi. Ek gitti ghar vch rakh te baari meri hai.", Aunty ki baat par Arjun start par rakhi ek gitti andar karta unhe paasa de kar baith gaya.

"Annu ghar nahi hai kya aunty?", Ye awaaj sunte he Arjun ne dhyaan he na dia aur aunty ne bhi Charul ko andar ka ishara karte hue paasa fenka. Idhar ye dono khel me lage rahe aur andar Annu ko araam se television dekhte hue Charul hairan ho gai.

"Tujhe pata bhi hai ke bahar kaun hai?"

"Mom aur Arjun ke alawa koi aur hai kya?"

"Matlab woh tujhe chhod kar yaha baitha hai? Aur tu bhi araam se yaha akeli tv me lagi hui hai."

"Haan toh mere jaane ke baad woh wahi rehne wala hai. Maa jaane wali hai waise bhi Kartaar aunty ke sath toh karne de dono ko time pas. Unka bhi dil khush ho jata hai Arjun ke sath. Parso woh unke sath pakode bana raha tha, papa bhi jaldi ghar aa gaye the. Aur tu bata kaisa raha tera school.?", Annu ne jagah banate hue kaha aur remote ek taraf rakh dia.

"Wahi jo hamesha rehta hai. Lekin ye aaj school nahi aaya."

"Uske chott lag gai thi kal shaam toh fir nahi gaya. Mummy ne aate he poocha tha aur maine sunn lia. Aa jayega kal aur waise bhi ye maje ke liye he aata hai. Iska admission letter dekha, non-attending hai. Matlab jab dil kare aaye jab kare na aaye.", Annu ki aisi baat sunn kar Charul ka toh chehra he utar gaya.

"Tujhe kaise pata chala?"

"Boyfriend hai woh mera student hone ke sath he. Pichli bar usne bataya tha ke uski didi waise he leave dene chali gai, jarurat nahi thi. Chal tension mat le badhiya coffee pilati hu.", Ye log baat kar rahe the aur idhar Annu ke mata ji chale gaye the, Arjun ko hara kar. Annu ki awaaj sunn kar Arjun muskurata hua fridge se doodh nikal kar rasoi me chala gaya. 5-6 minute baad he 2 coffee liye woh bister par un dono ke samne tray rakhta dusri aur se Annu ki goad me sar rakh ke viprit disha me paanv pasarta leit gaya.

"Mummy kuch keh kar gai thi kya?", Annu ne pyaar se uska sar sehlate hue poocha aur hath ne chott ko mehsoos kar lia tha.

"Haan woh 5-6 baje tak aayengi, tum bahar jao toh chabhi unki bhabhi ji ko de dena.", Arjun ki aankhen band he thi.

"Toh aajkal aunty ka bhi dhyaan rakh rahe ho?", Charul ne coffee ka cup uthate hue beech me he apni baat shuru kar di.

"Tum apne ghar nahi bulati nahi toh waha bhi main dil laga he dunga aunty ka.", Arjun ne jaise he ye kaha toh Annu hansne lagi. Bindas swabhav dikhne laga tha ab Arjun me.

"Bula le isko, dekh fir.", Annu ne jaise he ye kaha toh Charul coffee ki chuski lene lagi.

"Aunty coffee sach me atchi banati hai. Pehle hamesha chai he pee thi."

"Haan, ye is aunty ne banai hai. Waise tumne pehle nahi bataya Arjun ke tum itna kaam kar lete ho kitchen me."

"Tumne kaha bataya tha ke tum itni atchi ho .....", Arjun ne goad me lete hue he Annu ko shararat se dekha baat adhuri chhod kar. Woh bhi hansti hui uske gaal ko kheench kar fir Charul se baat karne lagi.

"Ye badtameej hota ja raha hai. Main yahi baat karne aai thi.", Charul ne sapaat lehje me kaha jispar Annu ne khaas pratikriya nahi di.

"Dekh Charul agar iske baare me mere sath koi baat karni hai toh woh positive he honi chahiye. Teri galti maine sirf iski wajah se ignore ki aur tere samne hai ke maine firse tujhe accept kar lia. Ye badtameej hai toh shayad koi wajah toh jarur hogi uske peeche. Aage se nahi hoga aisa kuch ye main bata deti hu. PE iske pas hai nahi aur sports period me ye library rahega. Baat khatam aur agar isne kuch galat kaha hai toh main uske liye sorry bolti hu."Arjun inki baaton se alag ab Annu ke peit me mooh dabaye leta tha, top ke upar se he.

"Itni bhi badi baat nahi thi jiske liye aisa karna pade. I'm sorry Arjun for my previous behaviour and for present one. But tumhara bhi kahi na kahi fault hai.", Charul galti maante hue bhi jaise Arjun ke sath mukabla kar rahi thi. Is baar jawaab bhi Arjun ne he dia.

"Haan meri galti toh jarur hai aur uske liye main Annu ko kabhi kuch nahi keh sakta kyonki ye saaf-dil hai aur seedhi baat karti hai. Rahi baat tumhari toh jara samay do apne aap ko aur pehle din se lekar yaha ye baat kehne tak jo bhi hua usko samajhna. Main toh hamesha yahi rehne wala hu.", Is baar Arjun apni baat keh kar ek taraf leit gaya aur bed ki daraj se rooi-savlon nikalti Annu uske sar pe jaha chott thi waha lagane lagi.

"You are right. May be I'm overthinking. Chalo kal milti hu tum dono se, abhi jana hai.", Charul uth kar khadi hui toh Annu bhi usko bahar chhod kar aane ke baad darwaja band karti Arjun ki bagal me leit gai.

"Ye sar pe chott kaise lagi?", Dono he jaise Charul ki kisi baat ki parwah kiye bina apne me he shuru ho gaye.

"Gir gaya tha kal toh patthar lag gaya chhota sa. Tum yahi sab dekhti rehti ho kya? 3 din pade hai ye nahi ki pyaar kar lu, lekin nahi jaanch karni jaruri hai.", Arjun mooh banate hue Annu ko dekh raha tha jo uske upar aati hui pyaar se aankho par choom kar thoda neeche sarakti seene par sar rakh ke leit gai.

"Ladaai karne lage ho aur bahana chot ka. Kalai par chott, honth ka kinara bhi aur sar ke dusri taraf. Lekin koi baat nahi agar itna jaruri kuch tha toh saaf mana kar sakte ho lekin mujhse jhoot nahi kehna. Fir aisa lagta hai jaise main tumhare liye kuch mayne nahi rakhti aur please ye realise mat karwana kabhi.", Arjun ko apni galti ka ehsaas ho gaya tha.

"Ae motti, sorry. Suno jara idhar aao. Woh kya hai na kal se yahi bol raha hu sabko toh tumhe bhi keh dia. kisi ne sar nahi dekha tha na aur kidhar kaise lagi hai ye toh tum he dhyaan de sakti ho. Jaise mujhe pata hai tumhare kaha par til hai.", Arjun ne tshirt ke andar hath dalte hue manane ki koshish ki.

"Tumhare bhi waha til hai, lekin jo kaha woh yaad rakhna.", Ab sachmuch woh bas rone he wali thi.

"Thik hai meri maa. Chalo ab idhar aa jao, dono araam se sote hai."

"Sone aaye ho ab? Pehle mom ke sath bahar fir ye maharani aa gai aur ab tum time waste kar rahe ho.", Annu uske hontho par honth rakhti khud he apne upar kheenchne lagi.

Update 99
Kuch Apno ke Sath- Kuch apno se dur (2)


"Neend bhi lena chahta hu main tumhare sath.", Arjun ki chudi nirvastra chaati ke neeche leti Annu uski baat sunn kar jaise dard me muskurane ki koshish karne lagi thi. Dard, us se juda hone ka aur Arjun ka itni badi baat keh jana woh bhi is waqt jab dono sansarg karne he wale the.

"Tumhe abhi kuch nahi pata Arjun ki zindagi kis aur karwat legi. Tumne he kaha tha na koi vaada nahi aur koi bhavishya nahi. Fir aaj is baat ko main kya samjhu?", Annu ki baat bhi galat nahi thi lekin Arjun khud he uske upar se hatt gaya. Ek taraf seedha leit kar woh chatt par ghoomte pankhe ko dekhne laga jisme koi awaaj na thi lekin uska vaig samay ki tarah eksaar tha. Koi manjil nahi koi thehraav nahi bas apni dhuri par ek daayre me ghoomta hua woh pankha uski tarah he toh tha. Annu yaha bhi apni he galti maan kar uske seene par sar rakhti maafi maang rahi thi.

"Sorry mera matlab tumhe chott pahuchana nahi tha Arjun. Tum bhi jaante ho ke main kabhi sapne me aisa nahi kar sakti lekin hum dono he jaante hai ke in pyaar ke kuch lamho ke baad hamari alag zindagiya hongi jisme mere pas tumhari yaadon aur pyaar ke yahi pal jeene ki wajah rehne wale hai. Bhagwan ne itna he dia lekin shikayat nahi hai mujhe.", Annu ki har baat bas un dono ke prem par sthirr thi aur woh jaise ab khud he Arjun ko har bandhan se mukti de kar usko wapis purani zindagi me jaane dena chahti thi.

"Tum intjaar karogi Annu?", Arjun kaise ye keh sakta tha? Uska vaada Ritu didi se tha, Shaadi Preeti se nirdharit thi aur abhi jaane zindagi ne kitne rang aur dikhane the. Renuka, Manju ka jo darja tha woh kya kuch maayne nahi rakhta tha? Shayad Arjun ne kuch socha he hoga kyonki woh itne dil nahi todd sakta tha. Annu bhi is sawaal ke jawab me hairaani se uske shunya bhaav se chehre ko dekhne lagi jo chatt ko he taak raha tha.

"Tumhare sirf itna kehne se main zindagi bhar aisa kar sakti hu lekin tum aisa kuch bhi mat karna ke sab badal jaye. Main toh waise bhi ab kisi aur ki nahi ho sakti.", Annu ki aankhon ka dard halke paani se Arjun ki chaati tak chala aaya.

"Abhi toh main bhi kuch nahi jaanta Annu. Lekin main tumhe kabhi khona nahi chahta. Tum sirf 7 din ke sath agla ek saal bitane wali ho toh main tumhe aise 7 din har mahine de sakta hu. Woh aise kuch waqt wale nahi pal nahi ki kabhi 1 ghadi ya 2, poore saat din sirf hum dono ke. Bas wapis jarur aana.", Arjun ne bina dekhe Annu ko apne seene pe kass lia. Annu uske dil ke thik upar chehra rakhe thi aur aansu khud he tej ho chale. Arjun ki dhadkan uske gaal ke neeche dhadakti hui bata rahi thi woh Annu se judd chuka tha. Kuch lamho baad ye khamoshi Annu ne he bhang ki.

"In baaton ke beech tum mujh par dhyaan nahi de rahe ho.", Woh chehra saaf kar chuki thi aur roothti hui Arjun ki kamar par baithi thi. Arjun ne dil ke gehraai se usko najar bhar dekhne ke baad apni taraf kheench lia. Mulayam kulho ke beech sirf woh neeli panty thi jo naam-matra kapda tha. Upar dheeli tshirt ke andar Annu ke dono bejodd ubhar ajaad the jo Arjun ke seene par dabne lage unke pyaar se choomne par. Arjun aankhen band kiye bas Annu ke hontho me dooba tha aur wahi haal Annu ka tha. Makhmali nitambho ke beech woh neeli patti ek taraf khiskate hue Arjun ne hath ke dabav se Annu ko kapar upar karne ka ishara kia. Bina uski panty utare woh apni sakht ling un nichle maadak hontho par tika kar fir se uske dono gaddedar kulho ko masalne laga

"Aahhh.. ummmm.. Ye kya soojha?"", Khud Annu ne thodi kamar dabaai toh jaruri hissa us rass bahate laal gulaab me utar gaya. Ek pal ke liye honth juda hue kyonki abhi bhi Annu ke bahari kinare itni motaai lene me saksham nahi hue the. Fir wapis Arjun ke chehre par jhukti woh araam se gaal aur maathe ko choomne lagi.

"Dil nahi kar raha ke tumhe alag karu khud se. Waise tumhe upar litane ka bhi alag maja hai.", Arjun ne purane andaaj me shararat se kaha tha.

"Pata hai tumhe ye sponge jaise hips dabane atche lagte hai. Aur mujhe tumhare upar leitna pasand hai. Ye bhi tumhe pasand karte hai.", Annu ka ishara apne bade naram stanno se tha.

"Pata hai Annu, kabhi bhi nahi lagta tha ke tum andar se itni alag hogi. Khoobsurat toh ho he lekin is kamre me jab tumhe pehli baar poori tarah se dekha tha toh aankho pe vishwas nahi hua tha.", Naram ubhre kulhe sach me ungliyo ke dabaav se aadha inch tak andar dabb rahe the. Hath fisalta hua unke beech wali chikni gehri darar me aaya toh Arjun wahi apni ungliyo sehlate hue ek chota sa chumban Annu ko karne ke baad dekhne laga. 2-3 baar apni kamar aage peeche karti woh ab aadha ling andar liye fir se ruk gai thi.

"Ummm.. mujhe nahi pata ke tumhe ye alag laga ya atcha. But main khud in dono ke size aur softness se comfortable nahi thi. Dekha nahi suit kaise upar se tight rehte hai, woh bhi straight aur loose pehan-ne ki wajah se.. aahh.. araam se baba. Main kar rahi hu.. ummm..Aur inhe hide karne ke liye mujhe thoda motta dikhne se bhi dikkat nahi. Lekin ye tumhare samne aise he rahenge.", Baaton ke beech he Arjun ne halka sa dhakka us lachili-naram surang me laga dia tha. Annu sisakti hui dard jajb karne ke baad khud he tshirt utar kar pare rakhti Arjun ke hath apne ubhar par rakhne lagi.

"Pehli baar toh darr laga tha ke .. umm.. inko chott na pahucha du. Najuk lage the aur hain bhi toh itne pyaare.", Halke se us gulabi nipple ko ek bar hontho par laga kar woh fir se usko dhime se dabane laga. Annu ki kamjori bhi shayad uske naram uroj he the jin par Arjun ka saprsh usko swarg sa aanand de raha tha. Patili panty ki ragad se ling aur kasta hua andar bahar hone par dono ko alag he sukh de raha tha. Yahi toh khasiyat thi Annu ki jo apne jism ko puri tarah apne premi par waar deti thi.

"Tumhara hai ye aur inhe bhi tum pasand ho. Tumhara sparsh poori raat inme bhara rehta hai.. aahhh.. ummm.. jaane kaise main ye le rahi hu..aahh... ek baat kahu", Annu fir se uske seene par leti apne dono stann khud he Arjun ke jism se ragadti hui aage-peeche ho rahi thi. Woh jaangho ke beech mehakta gulaab apna ras bahata Arjun ke kaamdand ko sakhti se jakde bhigone laga tha.

"Ahhh. Tumhe sirf kehna chahiye.. Ummm.. Aur tumse pyaar karne ke baad mujhe bhi har samay yahi khushbu jakde rehti hai, tumhari mehak mere jism se... aahh..", Arjun bhi kasaaw ki wajah se Annu ko jor se dabaye uske stanno ka apne sharir par ho raha alag he asar mehsoos karta kuch jyada uttejit ho raha tha. Lekin ye sirf dono ka he judaav tha jo ek dusre ko har tarah ka sukh dena jaante the.

"Tum anal karna chahte ho mere sath?", Annu ke is sawal par Arjun ne kas kar uske hontho ko jakad lia. Kamar apne aap he upar uthti Annu ki hadd tak thokar marne lagi. Agle 3-4 minute woh vidhyut-gati se Annu ke poore sharir ko niyantran me liye ab tak ki sabse tej aur gehri chudaai me laga raha. Annu bhi antim samay par apni jangho ke beech jadd tak lund ko dabaye uske peit par sthirr ho gai. Honth alag na hue aur sharir ka poora jor jaise is pal me Annu ki gehraai me udelta woh pruva-vatt usko apne upar liye leta raha. Aaj Annu ne bhi mehsoos kia tha ke Arjun ke sharir se itna seman nikla hai jitna 2-3 baar me nikalta tha. Khamoshi ko bhi usne he bhang kia.

"Anal sunte he tumne toh jaan he nikal di. Aisa matt kar dena ki 9 mahine baad main waha se final baby-bump ke sath yaha aau. Aahh.. lagta hai jaise mahine bhar ka andar nikal dia tumne.", Annu bhi abhi uthna nahi chahti thi lekin panty se thoda pareshani jarur hone lagi thi.

"Anal tumhare aane ke baad. Jab sirf hum dono poori raat akele ho aur rahi baat baby-bump ki toh parso tumne he kaha tha ke 2-3 din me down hone wali ho toh woh possible nahi. Waise tumne abhi tak bataya nahi ki waha kyo ja rahi ho?"

"Pehle toh jaane ki 2 wajah thi. Ek tum aur dusra mera dusra sapna. Waha admission mil gaya bhaiya ki wajah se aur tumhare bina rehna mere liye mushkil tha yaha."

"Tumne atcha kia Annu. Log galat raaste par chal padte hai lekin tumne yaha bhi zindagi ko maksad dia. Lekin maine kaha tha ke main hamesha sath hu tumhari har pareshani aur fainslo me."

"Isliye toh ab mera dil kar raha hai ke main rukk jau."

"Nahi, mujhe dusra sapna he rehne do Annu. Tumhara fainsla kahi se galat nahi hai."

"Ye ek saal ka nahi hai, main ek saal baad bhi sirf tumse milne ke liye aane wali thi. 3 saal aur fir 1 saal ki research. Namumkin ho jayega ab jab main ye jaan gai hu ke tum bhi mujhe utna he pyaar karte ho."

"Yaha tum saal me 2 baar toh aa he sakti ho. Kya pata jo tum karne ja rahi ho woh mere he kaam aaye. Apne se dur jaane par bhi woh kareeb he rehta hai. Kabhi khud ke fainslo par sandeh matt karna."

"Main har 6 mahine se pehle yaha aaungi lekin kya tum ek baar waha aaoge? Sorry bhool jati hu ke tum abhi student ho aur family me sabse chhote bhi. Koi baat nai.", Annu khud he sawaal karne ke baad jawaab deti hui uthne lagi toh woh safed rass dono ke khaas ango ko bhigoye Arjun ke sharir par jama hua tha. Annu bathroom me jaane lagi thi aur peeche he Arjun bhi aa gaya. Annu ko dekhe bina he fuhara chalaye woh neeche khada ho gaya.

"Tumhari research se pehle main waha aaunga aur agar mumkin hua toh waha samay sath he bitayenge.", Annu comod par baithi hath wale fuhare se apne samne paani daalti hui ruk gai. Paanv me jhoolti panty farsh pe girati woh peeche se Arjun ke nirvastra jism se lipat kar sath he bheegne lagi.

"Jo kaam mumkin na ho uski baat bhi nahi karni chahiye. Aaj ek he din me tumne bahot bada vaada pehle he kar dia hai Arjun."

"Annu, waha main pariwar ke kaam se aane wala hu tabhi maine research se pehle kaha, saal nahi bataya. Aur maine filhal toh apni kiye vaade nibhaye hai. Haan saans ruk gai.."

"Shhh.. Chup. 10 minute bas ab main tumhare sath rehna chahti hu. Galti se aisi baat mooh par fir kabhi mat lana."

"Mooh band kar do fir.", Arjun ne palat kar Annu ke geele jism ko nihara toh woh bhi baat poori karti uske jism se lipat kar choomne lagi. Aadarsh premika ki tarah.
.
.
Kareeb saadhe 6 baje Arjun ko apne gaalo par he halka geelapan mehsoos hua toh Ritu didi uske sirhane baithi thi. Aankho se 2 garam moti nikal kar Arjun ke gaal par gir gaye the.

"Oh toh ab aap aise uthane lagi ho mujhe. Lekin main badalne nahi wala.", Arjun unhe apne upar kheech kar gaal saaf karne laga. Ritu didi kamar ke sath baithi hui uske seene par thodi jhuk gai thi.

"Tumhare sath kya hua hai Aaru? Sach sach batana ye chott kaise aai tumhe. Chehre aur sar pe nishaan hai aur ye kalai par 3 tanke. Bhai kya hua ye sab?", Woh rote hue bas Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Arjun bhi kalai par bandhi patti ko waha na dekh samajh gaya tha ke ab bachna namumkin hai. Aur woh bach bhi kaise sakta tha apni aatma se.

"Batata hu pehle rona band kijiye aur saamne se first aid box nikal kar idhar bandage karo.", Arjun unke dono gaal hath me leke maathe par chumban karne ke baad kamar bister se tika kar baith gaya. Didi bhi saaf patti, betadine aur rooi lekar uske pas baith kar hath ka jakhm dekhne lagi.

"Kal ek haadsa hua tha jisko aap apne tak he rakhengi. Menaka ke sath bahot bura ho sakta tha kyonki ek tarah se woh kidnap he ho gai thi lekin mere dost ne mujhe iske baare me bataya aur waha Menaka ko bachate waqt ye jhadap ho gai. Sar pe halki si chott aai lekin kuch khas nahi aur ye honth par toh girne ki wajah se lag gai. Aapke hote hue mere sath kuch bura ho sakta hai kya didi?", Arjun dekh raha tha ke didi bade dhyan se pehle patti ki kuch teh lagane ke baad uspar dawa failane lagi. Fir jakhm ke upar atche se usko set kia. Jakhm ko unhone pehle bhi saaf kia tha jis se dawa kaam kar sake. Rooi ko bhi chokor kaatne ke baad upar rakhti woh savdhani se patti kalai par ghumane lagi.

"Ye knife ka mark hai yaha. Tumhari kalai cut sakti thi Arjun.", Woh abhi bhi subak rahi thi. Us khoobsurat chehre ko Arjun sapne me dard me nahi dekh sakta tha. Dono hatho me unhe pakad kar seene se laga kar woh kuch pal ke liye baitha raha. Peeth ko sehlate hue woh duvidha me tha ke didi ko sach kahe ya na kahe.

"Didi, mujhe jo saja dena chaho woh aap de sakti ho is galti ke liye. Main chahta hu ke ye pariwar hamesha khush rahe aur kabhi kisi tarah ka koi dukh na dekhe. Kal maine jo bhi kia hai usme Menaka ki jaan bachane ke sath he kuch aise logo ko bhi dur karna jaruri tha jo hamare 'Sansar' par najar lagaye the. Hamare pariwar ke liye aapka chhota bhai khud ko daanv pe lagane se bhi peeche nahi hatega. Bas is se jyada main kuch nahi keh sakta lekin jis din aap fir se aise royi toh main wapis boarding chala jaunga.", Arjun ko pata tha ke ye baat kehne se Ritu didi ka baaki baaton se dhyan hatt jayega.

"Tu kar koi aisi bewkoofi aur dekh main kya karti hu fir. Tune mujhe rulaya hai na fir zindagi bhar tu meri photo par haar dekhega.", Arjun ko aisi toh ummeed bilkul nai thi.

"Pagal. Galti se bhi aisa kaha toh fir .. Main majaak kar raha tha aur fir aisa mat kehna didi. Main sabkuch bardasht kar sakta hu lekin aapke bina mera astitva nahi hai. Bas thoda sa meri jimmewari ki taraf bhi socho. Kya ek jaan ki aisi mamuli keemat aapka bhai nahi chuka sakta?"

"Tune mujhse milkar ek bar bhi pyaar nahi kia.", Ritu didi khud he chehra thik karti uske seene par hath tikaye purane roop me aa gai thi.

"Bada mauka dia na aapne mujhe. Ummmm.. ", Unke hontho par apna pyaar deta woh ek bar aur unhe seene se laga kar sukoon dene laga.

"Oye shabash. Ye toh khullamkhulla chuma-chati ho rahi hai. Besharmo darwaja kaun dekhega?", Tara andar aati hui darwaja band kar chuki thi. Aur usne bas inhe chumban karte he dekha tha.

"Tu toh itna kuch karti hai toh main beech me aai kya? Ab 2 din baad isko dekha hai toh milu bhi nahi.", Ritu didi ne Tara ke aise dekhne par pratikriya he nahi di thi jabki Arjun bechain ho gaya tha

"Haan. Jo marji karo lekin woh andar aane ka rasta band karke. Or tere ye eyebrow pe soojan? Honth, hath aur peeth pe bhi. Khada ho pehle tu aur tujhe ye sab nahi dikha kya Ritu?", Tara pal me he jhalla gai thi buri tarah. Arjun ko seedha karke woh jaise gehan nirikshan karne lagi uska.

"Aate he dekh lia tha maine. Kal stadium me practice ke waqt iske chehre ka ye haal hua hai. Hath par chot bike girne se lagi hai, maine abhi fresh bandage ki hai.", Ritu didi ne jo kaha woh vishwas dilane ke liye bilkul thik tha. Mukkebazi me toh chehre par aisi soojan aur chott lag he sakti thi.

"Band karwati hu iska ye sab nana ji ko bol kar. Atche bhale sharir ka kya haal kia hai."

"Tara ji, shanti rakho. Ab aage se aisa nahi hoga.", Tara ko ek hath se apne gale lagate hue Arjun ne pyaar se mana lia. Lekin Ritu didi ka dimag abhi bhi kahi chal raha tha.

"Preeti aai thi yaha?", Ritu didi ka ye sawaal apne aap me bahut kuch tha jiske peeche ki mansha Arjun bhanp gaya tha.

"Subah gai thi apne ghar jab main aaya tha. Baad me pata nahi mujhe. Kyo kya hua ab? Rehne dena agar aapne kuch poochtach karni ho toh.", Arjun dono se alag ho kar saaf tshirt aur track pajama pehan ne laga. Dono ladkiya bhi usko neeche aane ka bol kar bahar chal di.
.
.
"Haan toh lagta hai ke school aur stadium se azaad rahe ho aaj tum. Kya kuch seekh rahe ho aajkal thoda hame bhi bata dio karo bhai.", Rameshwar ji toh jaise aane ke baad seedha bagiche me he aa baithe the. Hamesha wale apne safed kurte pyjame me. Filhal unke sath waha Col sahab the jo Arjun dwara lagaye naye papite aur raat ki raani ko jaanch rahe the. Arjun dono se gale lag kar he mila tha.

"Jana toh tha lekin taaiji se school jane se mana kar dia aur fir stadium me iski wajah se nai gaya. Paseena aayega toh shayad ye jaldi thik na ho.", Arjun wahi unke samne ghaas par baith gaya tha.

"Tumhare chotte daadu pooch rahe the ke ye dono aisi viksit kisme kaha se le aaye. Aur inhone bhi aaj apne pichle aangan me poori jagah tayar karwa di hai. Khulli jagah hai toh bagicha atcha banega.", Rameshwar ji ne baat karte waqt ek najar apne dost par bhi dali jo wahi aa baithe the.

"Haan bhai, ye papite ke paudhe toh alag hai he lekin tum shayad inka dhyaan bhi khas tarike se rakh rahe ho. Raat ki rani ki bail itni badi kaise mil gai? Ho sake toh thoda Mukesh ko bhi samjha dena aur Romela ko bhi."

"Chote daadu woh Dharampal uncle hai na unke ek dost hai jo university me aisi kisme tayaar karte hai ya fir bahar se mangwa kar unko yaha ke mahol se tayaar karte hai. Dharampal uncle ne he ye laa kar diye the. Papite toh Thailand ke hai, seedless jinhe seedha paani dene ki jagah ye gaddho me paani bhar dena hai bas. Baaki khaad wahi apni desi wali hai. Raat ki rani ke liye toh unhe bhi mehnat karni padi thi lekin jaise taise woh le he aaye the. Isko subah lagane ke baad maine shaam ko seedha kia toh dekho jara ye kitni lambi hai. Pehli manjil tak pahuch rahi hai. Waise pichle aangan me toh aapke pas is bagiche jitni he jagah hai.", Arjun sab khush ho kar bata raha tha.

"Haan 400 gaz hogi he. 4 trolly mitti aur aadhi trolly khaad dalwai hai waha saaf karwane ke baad. 2-3 din Mukesh safaai karega fir tum thoda idea de dena baaki bhai sahab hai he."

"Pehle toh daadu ab 'selection' lagwa lo saari jagha me. Ghaas jagha pakad legi toh jameen ka bhi pata chal jayega. Kyo bauji aap kya kehte ho?", Kabhi kabhi woh Pandit ji ko bauji bhi kehta tha jo usne bachpan me unke driver ya madad maangne aaye logo ko kehte dekha tha. Woh hansne lage lekin haan me sar hila dia.

"Maine bhi yahi kaha tha ek kinare rok kar lawn bana le fir kuch bade paudhe he mangwa kar replant karwa lena. Unke neeche baaki chotte phool aur sabji ki kyaari lag he jayegi. Waise tumse ek aur kaam tha bhai.", Rameshwar ji ne ek najar Komal ko dekha jo tray stool par rakhti kuch aur laane ke liye pooch rahi thi. Lekin nimbu-pani bahot tha aisa dada ji ne kaha aur didi chali gai.

"Kahiye fir aapka dusra kaam karte hai.", Arjun jaise ye bola tha na chahte hue bhi Pandit ji usko muskurate hue chup rehne ka ishara karne lage.

"Parso tera mama aayega tujhe lene toh school ke baad uske sath chale jana. Patwari ke pas tere nana le jayenge toh sab dhyan se padh-likh kar kaam poora kar lena. Agle din subah bhoomi poojan karwa ke aa jana."

"Kaisa bhoomi-poojan? Waha pehle he itne khet hai ke Manohar nana aur chote mama se woh nahi sambhalte toh ye naya kaam kaun dekhega? Rajesh mama toh dekhe 10 saal hone ko aaye aur Bittu mama police me hai.", Arjun hairan bhi tha aur jaankari bhi lena chahta tha.

"Rajesh aa gaya hai aur wahi college ki neev rakhni hai. Ek toh ye jameen woh tere naam kar chuke hai aur upar se wahi hissa hai jo sadak par hai aur shehar ke sath lagta hai. Aadhe ghante ka kaam hai aur unki bhi itcha hai ke tu he waha pehli eent rakhe."

"Toh aap nahi jayenge?", Arjun ko filhal toh samajh nahi aa raha tha lekin fir bhi jo dil kia pooch lia.

"Abhi bhoomi poojan hai, main jaunga jab imarat ki buniyad rakhenge. Dekh le bhai Satish, ye ladka school pas nahi hai abhi lekin college me malikana hissa rakhne wala hai.", Rameshwar ji hansne lage toh Col sahab ne bhi unka sath dia.

"Waise sahi hai beta, 2 saal me tum apne he college me padhne jaoge fir toh."

"Nahi chotte daadu college toh main apne pradesh me nahi karne wala. Normal graduation ki toh St. Stephans Delhi ya Calcutta se karunga aur engineerig Pilani ya Bombay se.", Rameshwar ji se bhi Arjun ne kabhi college ke baare me aisa nahi kaha tha. Kyonki woh toh bhavishya ki baat he nahi karta tha.

"Fir tu England kyu nahi chala jata?", Unhone ye majaak me kaha tha.

"Haan agar aapki pehchaan hai Cambridge ya King's college me toh main chala jaunga waha bhi.", Arjun ne unhe he lapete me le lia hanste hue.

"Fir toh beta Oxford jyada behtar rahegi." Ye Col sahab the

"Waha toh pehchan bhi kaam nahi aane wali chote daadu aur 10% seats ke liye jaane kitne laakh student baithe honge. Waise bhi ghar se itna dur nahi jaane wala main."

"Chal Shekhchilli wapis bagiche me he aaja. Main jara tere chote daadu ke sath sair karne ja raha hu tu paani pila inhe. Haan kal din me mere sath bahar chalna hai toh kahi mat jana school ke baad.", Woh Arjun ko nayi duvidha me chhodd kar nikal chale apne mitra ke sath.
.
.
"Krishna ko dakhil kar lia tha unhone aaj. Doctor ke rahe hai ke sab thik hai aur shayad utna samay bhi na lage jitna pehle soch rahe the. Yaha shayad sahi test nahi ho paye aur report me bhi thodi bahot chook thi.", Arjun apni daadi ke pas baitha tha aur woh uska hal-chal lene ke baad America ki khabar de rahi thi. Arjun ki chott ko jyada tul na de kar woh bas baaki sab bata rahi thi. Madhu bua bhi uth kar waha se chali gai toh Rameshwar ji bhi andar aa gaye the. Sath he unhone woh darwaja band kar dia tha jidhar se pichle aangan ka rasta tha.

"Toh barkhurdar jara ab samjhane ka kasht karoge?", Woh bed par araam karne ki jagah Arjun ke samne ek kursi rakh kar baith gaye. Kaushalya ji bhi shanti se dono ko dekhti rahi.

"Aapko toh pata he hai sabkuch. Maine sirf Menaka ko bachane ke liye thoda sa badlaav kia tha.", Arjun is waqt sapaat lehje me bol raha tha.

"Tumhe sabse jyada khabar thi aur baat itni badi hai ye tumne ek baar bhi jahir nahi kia. Iski wajah? Waise bhi mamla toh ye tha ki waha par Shabnam aur uske saathi milne wale the, Sushila par najar thi aur kahi na kahi Mohar Singh ke hone se bhi inkaar nahi tha lekin tumne baaki koi jaankari nahi di. Ye Sushila aur Mohar Singh ke baare me tumhe kaise maloom tha?", Rameshwar ji bhi spasht baat he kar rahe the lekin Kaushalya devi ke chehre par duniya bhar ka khuaf tha.

"Wajah toh aap behtar samajhte honge. Shabnam se jyada najar meri un badi daadi ke pariwar par thi. Menaka ke ghar se ek chota sa saboot mila tha lekin woh kitna gehra tha ye samajhte hue waqt hath se nikal chuka tha. Ek na ek din toh ye hona he tha lekin mera waisa irada bilkul bhi nahi tha. Aapko sandesh bheja tha maine aur Umed chacha ko bhi lekin woh mujhe he le gaye toh fir koi rasta nahi bachta tha."

"Sanjiv? Usko shamil karne ki wajah?"

"Woh shamil nahi hote toh fir aapse najre nahi mila pata main kabhi bhi. Waha sirf saja se kaam toh nahi chal sakta tha. Aur unke baare me main aapse sawaal nahi karunga ki woh kaise aur kab bane.", Arjun ki baat par kuch der tak woh gehrai se sochte rahe.

"Bheem ki haalat dekh kar main samajh sakta hu ki tum akele me kya karte lekin tumhe bahar rehne ke liye kaha gaya tha. Koi aur hal ho sakta tha is sabka."

"Fir wahi hal hota jo main kabhi nahi chahta ke aisa ho. Aap mujhe mere se behtar jaante hai. Gale par chaaku lagaye koi khada ho aur woh sabhi log mere pariwar ke sath waisa he kuch karne ka soche toh mujhe nahi lagta unki goliyan rok sakti thi. Haan Bheem par gussa tha aur aisa nahi karta toh woh Umed chacha ko peeche se nuksaan pahuchane wala tha. Unke pehle he goli lagi thi paanv me.", Arjun ki baatein ab Kaushalya ji ke kuch palle padd rahi thi. Aur woh rok na saki beech me bolne se.

"Kitne maar diye?"

"Daadi maine ek bhi nahi mara. Umed chacha aur Sanjiv bhaiya ne kia hai jo kia hai.", Rameshwar ji santusht the Arjun ke aise kehne se.

"Sahi kaha beta tumne. Thodi si chook ho gai thi mere se aur kabhi kabhi sipahi ko aise waqt khud he fainsle lene padte hai lekin jaankar atcha laga ke tumne hath kharaab nahi kiye. Bheem aur Rishabh ne milkar jo kia tha uski saja hum dono ne he apne asool se bahar nikal kar di. Tumne akele me bagawat nahi ki aur woh duty par bhi baagi ho gaya tha.", Rameshwar ji ka chehra halki peeda dikhane ke baad fir shaant ho gaya.

"Ab bataoge ke ye kya fasaad kar di hai tum logo ne jiski mujhe bhanak nahi lagi. Aur Umed ab kaha se aa gaya?", Kaushalya ji pas khisak aai thi.

"Bhaagwan jo pariwar kabhi alag hue the unhe ye tera kapoot fir se kareeb le aaya hai. Chandro devi ne tumhe yaad kia hai toh kal ek baar mil aana aur main jara Arjun ke sath Rammehar ke ghar jaunga."

"Baat pooch rahi hu aur aap chorus suna rahe ho ji."

"Sheela devi ka pariwar nahi raha ab aur Mohar Singh ke sath uske mamere dakait bhaiyon ka bhi naam mitt gaya hai. Arjun ne Sushila aur uske bete ke sath he Menaka, Shabnam ki zindagi bhi bachai hai. Sath he apne bade bhai aur chacha ko bhi.", Rameshwar ji ki aisi baat sunn kar Kaushalya ji ke aankhon me aansu aa gaye.

"Aapka dil nahi ghata ji ek bar bhi. Isko kuch ho jata toh main bhi marr jati. Woh sab naag hai doodh pilane par bhi kaatne wale. Mera masoom sa bacha un darindo me akela tha aur aapne ye hone dia."

"Kaushalya maanta hu thodi chook hui lekin agar isko rokta toh bhi samasya hone wali thi aur karne dia kyonki sab meri najar me tha. Umed iska dharam baap hai aur woh isko kabhi kuch nahi hone dega. Sanjiv ne bhi apna kaam poora kia. Samasya tab aati jab ek bhi unme se bach jata."

"Toh sach me sab saaf kar dia kya ji?", Kaushalya ji ki aisi achraj wali shakal dekh kar Arjun muskurate hue unhe apne se laga kar baith gaya.

"Daadi, dadaji jab safai karwate hai toh maidaan me kankar tak nahi chhodte. Aur Umed chacha na sirf idhar he goli maarte hai, pata nahi olympic me kyo nahi gaye. Aap pareshan mat hua karo aur vaada hai ke main ab kabhi aisa nahi karne wala.", Arjun ne ye baat apne dada ki taraf ek raajdar muskaan ke sath kahi thi

"Haan woh ullu inke pas he nisanchi bana tha. Khaas lagaav tha na us se inhe lekin tu Umed ko kabse mil raha hai?"

"Jabse ghar aaya hu tabse 2 baar he mila hu lekin phone par baat ho jati hai. School me chacha har 2 mahine baad aate the milne aur fir 2 din rehne ke baad jaate the jaise dadaji.", Arjun ki baat ne ab Rameshwar ji ko faswa dia tha.

"Toh hum log he moorakh the."

"Ye saand aise he nahi bana devi ji. Aur main sirf iska haal jaan-ne ke liye jata tha aur kitabe dene. Umed ke pita aur tumhare swargiya Jeth ji trustee the waha toh baad me khud Umed ne iske liye abhyaas-shala banwa rakhi thi. Woh toh isko wahi rakhna chahta tha lekin ye aur ruk na paya tum sabki wajah se. Pehle 5 saal toh isne Umed se bhi jyata baad nahi ki thi.", Rameshwar ji uth khade hue aur darwaje par se toliya utaar kar bahar wale bathroom ki tafaf chal diye.

"Toh tu jaanta hai in sabko jinse tera saamna hua?"

"Nahi daadi. Kisi ko nahi jaanta lekin the sab mujhe atche se jaan-ne wale he."

"Menaka atchi ladki hai aur ye samajh le ke woh abse teri bua jaisi hai. Tere dada ji ne sirf uski atchi zindagi ke liye us pariwar ki madad ki jo hamare liye he musibat bann raha tha. Dil aisa he unka lekin fir khadi fasal ukhadne se bhi peeche nahi hatenge apni bhool sudharne ke liye. Kal jab dada ke sath jayega na toh Sushila se atche se milna, woh badi hai tere papa se. Ziddi aur ghamandi hai lekin tune us par ehsaan kar dia hai toh woh tere sath dil se vyahvahar karegi. Jyada sawaal mat karna tere dada ke samne. Aur ho sakta hai waha Bijender aur Sudarshan bhi ho, bade bhai jaise hai woh dono. Sudarshan teri badi daadi ke sath rehta hai lekin aise mauke par toh aaya he hoga", Daadi ki aakhiri baat par woh unhe ghoorne laga.

"Sudarshan ka is sabse kya chakkar?"

"Tu jaanta hai usko? Tere se toh 10-12 saal bada hoga woh. Aakhiri baar dekha tha toh woh 7-8 ka tha aur utna he Bijender raha hoga. Bijender fir bhi milta raha tha jab tak school jata raha."

"Sudarshan naam suna hai bas lekin shayad ye wala alag ho jisko aap janti hai.", Fir darwaje par halki thapki ki awaaj se Arjun uth kar kholne gaya toh samne Alka didi thi jo uska hath pakad kar apne sath he upar le chali, unke he kamro wali taraf.
.
.
Khuli hawa me yaha 4 charpai lagi thi nohre me raat ke waqt. Ek par Bijender leta aasman me taare dekh raha tha aur uske bagal wali par Vikas poonia baitha laute se paani peene me laga tha. Vikas din me he aa gaya tha Bijender se phone par sandesh milte he. Woh log yaha nohre me he sone wale the ab kyonki phool chugne tak toh Bijender ghar me so nahi sakta tha.

"Vikas, tanne main kade dukhi ni karna chahta tha lekin saamne se sab bata bhi koni saku tha."

"Chodd is baat ne bhai. Balak toh ghule-lade kare he hai. Jaata ke toh 2 sage bhai joot na bajave itne woh sage na kehlate aapna toh fer bhi kime 2 ghara ka fansla hai.", Vikas ke mann me bhi koi dwesh na tha.

"Tu jis chhore gail ni rehta, Shankar chache wala Arjun. Kaal usne he poora pariwar bachaya se Vikas. Bahot diler aur samajhdar maanas se woh."

"Chotta bhai hai mera aur jama saachi baat hai ke woh dileri me ghaat konya. Shayad chokha he hovega jitna dekhya hai."

"Rishab ka bhai koni woh Bheem Singh, Arjun ne woh gaadi pe kisi gindi ki tariya uchaal dia tha. Sava 6 foot ka jaanwar ek balak ne. Main usne halka koot ke plat teh bhagana chahu tha lekin mere teh woh halya bhi koni.", Bijender is waqt sab yaad kar raha tha jo usne dekha tha.

"Guddi kaaki wala Sudarshan Choti dhyaan hai bhai?"

"Haan, ek woh he toh janwar hai jo manne Arjun ke takkar ka lagya. Lekin apni bolchal na hai uske sath.", Bijender ne jaise mooh banaya uska naam sunn kar.

"Uske rod-plate ghall ri hai saare sharir me. Uske akele ke nahi woh 4 aur bhi the uske malang badmash unke bhi. Arjun ne sar teh upar thaa ke woh syaami darwaje jitni dur baga ke maarya tha. Akela woh arr 5 choti barge, stadium ne bera hai yu baat.", Vikas ki baat sunn kar Bijender khaat se uth kar baith gaya.

"Yu kad hoya? Arjun ne akele sodh bhar di unki arr daadi Chandro ne bhi kuch na keha?"

"Haan akele, kyunki main arr Balbir toh ek ne he sambhal na sake. Daadi ke kahvegi jadd baat chhori ka hath pakadan ki ho. Choti Arjun ki mangetar arr ek videshi mehmaan na thaan lagya tha. Sach kahu Bijender waah chhori na rokti Arjun ne toh woh un sabke 2 faad kar deta."

"Itni jaan hai usme? Choti chotta janwar konya. Khair tu jhooth toh bole koni arr 2 najare toh main khud dekh chukya. Woh toh maar kha ke bhi haase tha. Milna padega is ke gail toh."

"Tu pehlya bhi milya hai jadd mere dhore aaya tha."

"Aaho. Sahi kahya Vikas ne. Gollu batave tha ke Bijender bhai takraya hoya hai us ladke se. Arr woh bhi gaya tha milan khatir lekin Arjun ne uska chaaku modd ke wapis goj me ghaal dia tha. Sath he nyu bhi kehya ke woh apne bhai ne kuch hon ni dega.", Ye Bijender ka dost he tha jo ladai ke waqt sath tha.

"Shilu, yaa toh Gollu ne bhi nahi batai manne. Aur ke kehve tha woh?"

"Bhai Gollu bhi ulti-sulti bake tha. Kehve tha ke Bijender bhai ka pyaar dilwana chahve tha is khatir he woh Arjun dhore gaya tha lekin woh chhora bahot badhiya niklya arr jitna shaant woh rehve hai, utna koi aur taqatvar Gollu ne kade ni dekhya. Chhora jihsa bhi hai Bijender lekin tere pe hath ni thyaya.", Shilu bhi dusri taraf wali charpai par leit gaya.

"Meri samajh se bahar hai sabkuch. Menaka ne dard me dekh ke uski bhi aankh band ho gai thi. Lekin woh uske khatir maran ne bhi tyaar tha. Pyaar kare hai woh us se? Karda he hovega kyunki Bheem toh is khatir jyada utawala tha usne maaran ke liye.", Bijender khud hairaan tha kyonki Vikas ne bhi bataya tha usko mangetar wali baat aur jhagda aur Menaka wala toh khud uske samne tha.

"Yaad hai Bijender teri chotti kaaki ke kehya karti thi. Pyaar den wala toh 100 ne bhi kar sake hai arr nafrat wala ek pe he atkya reh je hai.", Vikas ne yaha Madhulata ka jikar kar dia tha.

"Haan munni kaaki hamesha ya baat kahe karti. Maa ki wajah se kaaki teh bhi aaj 8 saal baar milna hoya. Waa aurat sach me mahaan hai Vikas. Arjun uska chhora hota jitna manne pata hai uska aur Shankar kaka ke baare me. Khair Arjun ki yaa maa bhi ghaat na hogi.", Abhi woh log charcha he kar rahe the ke nohre ke gate ke us paar se Anupama ki awaaj aai. Chehre par is waqt bhi chunni kiye woh najre fere sandesha dene aai thi.

"Ji, woh Chote dada ka phone tha abhi. Kaal aavenge milan 2 baje. Sabka puchya tha arr Vikas bhai ne bhi rukan ki kahi hai.", Vikas dhyaan se dekh raha tha ke thodi der pehle toh jab woh haveli me tha tab Anupama uske samne bina parde ke thi aur seedhi baat kar rahi thi.

"Thik se. Tu bhi roti-took kha ke araam kar le eb 4 baje ki uth ri hai. Savere maami aap kar legi ki kaam tu 6 baje bahar aaiye kamre se. Main maa se mil ke tawli aa jaunga.", Bijender ne jaise Anupama ko dekha tha woh jaate he kankhiyo se khud bhi ek najar dekhne ke baad haa me sar hilati wahi chali gai jaha se aai thi.

"Ke dekhe hai? Bhabhi banani hai ya mera sala banega?", Bijender ki baat samajh aate he Vikas muskurata hua leit kar upar dekhne laga.

"Sahi hai. Waise sala he thik su. Sunya hai ke jija saale ne ghana laad ladave hai.", Vikas ki aisi baat par pyaar se uski baah par thapki maarta Bijender bhi muskurane laga. Dukh ki is ghadi me kaise kareeb aa gaye the woh rishtey jo saalo dur rahe the.
.
.
"Preeti ki toh atchi khasi khabar le daali aaj Alka ne. Lekin fir pyaar se apne sath he rakh lia aaj.", Renuka bua Arjun se lipti halki awaaj me baat kar rahi thi.

"Us pagli ki bhi galti nahi hai. Neend me thi aur upar se uski maami ne jana bhi tha. Fir woh Viky ke sath university chali gai aur shaam ko he aai thi.", Arjun araam se Renuka bua ko peeth ki taraf se chipkaye unke gaal ko halke se choom raha tha. Unke baalo se aati woh taji mehak bhi usko atchi lag rahi thi. Halke halke unke naram kabootar sehlata woh unse baatein bhi kar raha tha.

"Koi baat nahi, kabhi kabhi daant-fatkaar jaruri hai. Samjhegi tabhi toh ghar sambhalne layak banegi. Nahi toh sabko sandwich he milne wale baad me.", Renuka bua khud he apne naram kulhe Arjun ke us thos hisse par daba rahi thi. Unhe atcha lag raha tha ye naya sparsh.

"Sorry bol rahi thi aur fir Ritu didi le gai usko apne sath. Waha bhi meri he khabar le dali jis se Preeti ko atcha lage. Waise aaj aap jyada he nahi ye daba rahi?", Arjun ne kulho ke nichle naram bhaag ko hath me bhar ke jaise jayja lia aur gown ko us gehri naram darar me andar daba dia.

"Aahh.. Aisa kuch mat socho. Haan. Bas atcha lag raha hai toh sath chipak rahi hu.", Arjun unki sharam dekh raha tha aur woh aise unke sath karne bhi nahi wala tha. Madhu bua ke samne Renuka bua ka rona-dhona sab bigaad deta.

"Atcha toh aaj aise he sone wali ho aap?"

"Nahi nahi. Aaj waise he jaise hamesha sote hai.", Woh jaldi he palat kar uske seene me aa lagi. Arjun bhi inki makhmali jaangh par hath firata saamne se unke labo ko halke halke choomne laga.

"Tum dono ye miya-biwi se bahar bhi nikal lo thoda. 2 ghante mai khatar-patar sunti rehti hu isliye kaan me ye speaker laga ke sona padd raha hai. Aadhe ghante ka serial banane ki jagah 3 ghante ki family film banane lag jaate ho. So jao chup-chap nahi main neeche aa jaungi fir dono me se ke bhaag khada hoga.", Madhu bua ki awaaj sunte he Renuka Arjun se liapat gai aankhen band karte hue aur Arjun ne Madhu bua ko aankh maarte hue havai chumban de dia. Woh fir dusri taraf mooh karke hansti hui leit gai.

"Galat toh nahi kaha na unhone.", Arjun ne Renuka ki taang wapis apne upar rakhte hue gown kamar tak sarka dia, woh abhi bhi aankhen band kiye thi, ek sharmili muskaan ke sath.

Update 100 (A)
Kuch Apno ke Sath- Kuch apno se dur (3)


"Didi, aapko toh pata hai na raat kitni der ho gai thi. Upar se 3 ghante baad he uth kar bhagna pada aur ghar me akela dekh kar Arjun shuru na ho jaye iska bhi darr tha, maami ke jaane ke sath he.", Preeti raat me is waqt Aarti aur Ritu didi ke sath bed par leti thi. Tara dusre kamre me Alka didi se management ke notes samajh rahi thi jo ki unki training ka he hissa tha.

"Arre tu is baat ko aise samajh ki agar usko kuch hoga toh tu he peeche se dhyaan nahi degi toh fir pas hone ka kya matlab? Jab saare yaha hote hai toh woh najro se bach nahi sakta lekin tum dono ko zindagi me aise imtihaan bhi dene honge jaha teesra koi nahi hoga. Arjun tujhe kabhi kuch kahega nahi lekin aise waqt me tu uske sath hogi toh woh dhyaan rakhega.", Ritu didi Preeti ke sar ko thapki de rahi thi.

"Sahi baat hai Ritu ki Preeti. Tum dono ka connection atcha hai lekin agar aise samay me tumhara uske sath hona jaruri hai jab koi bhi na ho. Sach kehna ke tum dono kab aakhiri baar ek sath the akele me.?", Aarti didi ka bhi sawaal sateek he tha. Preeti ne jab gor kia toh woh masoom sach me he apne Arjun se pas hone ke bawjood poore hafte se dur he thi.

"Woh mummy ke aane ke baad ye Viky wala incidence hai ho gaya aur fir maine sach me he Arjun ko samay nahi dia. Lekin ye anjaane me hua tha didi."

"Yaha uski zindagi me 20 log toh honge he Preeti. Kya usne kabhi kisi ko shikayat ka koi mauka dia samay nahi bitane ya dhyaan nahi dene ke liye? Tu Viky ko rokne ke chakkar me Arjun ko he bhool gai. Fir Chandigarh jaane ki jagah agar tu yaha hoti aur Viky ko waha bhej deti toh Arjun parso stadium se lekar aaj subah tak tere sath hota. Woh pyaar karta hai tujhse isliye woh kabhi shikayat nahi karega. Bas kabhi kabhi thoda sa hissa bhi khali ho na toh koi aur waha sthaan bana sakta hai. Tujhse toh sambandh atoot hai aur rahega lekin jo main keh rahi hu usko samajh.", Ritu didi ne toh saaf saaf he keh dia tha ke agar Preeti aise he karti rahi toh kuch toh badlaav jarur aayega.

"Ab nahi hoga aisa kuch. Aapki baat thik hai didi, main Viky par khamkhwah he dhyan de rahi thi. Usko Arjun sambhal sakta tha aur is beech main uske sath he rehti toh shayad dono ko manchaha time bhi milta aur woh chott bhi na kha ke aata. Alka didi ko bol dena ki ab main aisi galti nahi hone dungi.", Preeti sachmuch bhavuk ho kar Ritu didi ke seene se lagne lagi.

"Aaj na tu iske gale nahi lagegi. Aaj tu idhar aa aur usko padhne de, pehle he woh tere laad-pyaar me bahot time kharab kar chuki hai.", Alka didi ne Preeti ko kamar se pakad kar apne pas kar lia. Waha ab Aarti didi na thi aur Ritu didi bhi uth kar hansti hui study table ki taraf badh gai.

"Sorry didi. Woh routine itna uneven ho gaya tha ke sachmuch aisi galti kar baithi.", Preeti ki is saafgoi ko dekhte hue Alka didi ne bhi usko apne sath laga lia.

"Ab tu araam se so jaa aur fir subah Arjun ke sath he ghumne chali jana. Maine bola hai usko ke jaate samay hamara darawaja knock kar ke he jaaye. Chal ab hum dono neend lete hai aur ye maharani saja bhugtegi Arjun ko akele pyaar karne ki.", Ritu didi ki taraf narajgi se Alka didi ne najre tarer kar kaha toh woh muskurati hui fir se kitab me lag gai. Preeti bhi jald he unke aagosh me lipat kar neend me chali gai thi. Udhar Arjun bhi Renuka bua ko upar se santusht karne ke baad araam se so chuka tha.
.
.
Subah Rameshwar ji bhi apne samay se pehle he uth gaye the. Shayad Arjun abhi abhi bahar nikla tha aur gate band karne ki awaaj saaf sunai dene se Rameshwar ji ki bhi neend uchat gai thi.

"Kya hua ji? Aap raat bhi bahot der tak soye nahi the aur fir abhi 4 baje uth gaye. Pareshan ho ji kisi baat se?", Kaushalya ji sach me unki ardhangini he thi, sirf naam ki patni nahi.

"Kaushalya neend toh atchi he aai thi mujhe lekin pata nahi ye dimaag itna satark kyo ho raha hai.", Rameshwar ji ne stool par rakha tambe ka lauta uthaya aur ghoont ghoont karke peene lage. Unka uthne ka baad sabse pehle kaam yahi hota tha ke ser-bhar saaf jal peene ke baad he bister tyagte the aur ye lauta unki maa ki he nishani thi jisko woh khud he sambhalte the.

"Satark jyada toh hona he hai ji. Aapke laadle ki jaan par bann aai thi toh ab aap jarurat se jyada he chokas rahoge. Lekin main fir bhi kehti hu ke aap bas waise he rahe jaise aap Arjun ke wapis aane ke baad hue ho. Woh paripakva hai aur saath he aapki chaaya me rehta hai. Waise mujhe laga tha ke aap Rishabh ki wajah se pareshan ho rahe honge.", Kaushalya ji ne apne baal sahi se joode me baandhte hue sar par saree thik ki aur woh bhi apni taraf rakha kaanch ka dhaka gilas utha kar thoda thoda peene lagi.

"Rishabh ko main atchi zindagi dena chahta tha Kaushalya aur mujhe Shankar ki woh baat bhi yaad hai jo usne Menaka-Renuka ke suhaag ujadne ke samay kahi thi. Kaushal toh Shankar ko kabhi bhaya he na tha aur fir usne yahi baat kahi thi ki jaise Menaka ka gharwala ek chalava bhar hai waise he ye Rishabh uske liye. Tab maine Shankar ko kaha tha ke Rishabh meri nigrani me hai. Lekin dekho kaise woh thodi si pehchan aur taqat milte he apni badi-maa ki he maut ka shadyantra kar gaya. Sach kahu toh log mujhe parkhi kehte hai lekin tumhara sapoot shayad mujhse behtar galat ki pehchan kar leta hai."

"Ji aap khud ko dosh kyo de rahe ho. Aapne hamesha karam kia hai aur kabhi kisi masoom ka bura nahi hone dia. Woh Shankar hai jo sirf galat he dhoondta hai, sahi toh uski najar me sirf kamjor he hote hai. Aap insaan ko hamesha thik kehte hai aur paristhiti he jo hoti hai wahi karwati hai sahi galat. Bas ab Manju ko le kar mujhe bechaini hai."

"Kaushalya woh ladki maine dekhi hai. Abhi se uski aankhon me Arjun ke liye maa sa pyaar aur bahot himmat hai. Bas ab Daleep ko keh dena ke woh jo chahti hai wo karne de Manju ko nahi toh fir main baat karunga Daleep se. Chalo tum abhi thoda araam karo main kuch waqt bagiche me baithna chahta hu.", Rameshwar ji apni jagah se uth kar baithak wale raste bahar khuli hawa me chal diye.

.
.
Preeti Arjun ka hath thaame jal-nigam wale jungle ke pas he ek saaf pathar par baithi thi. Dono he halki daud lagate idhar aa gaye the. Abhi bhi halka andhera tha aasman me aur yaha Arjun Preeti ke garam gaal par naak se gudgudi kar raha tha. Woh bhi uske sath lagi is sab chuhal aur masti ka aanand le rahi thi.

"Tumhe ye jagah pasand hai?"

"Tumhe atchi nahi lagi?", Arjun ne jawab me he sawal kar dia.

"Bahot alag aur shaant hai ye. Aur dekho na yaha sirf hum dono he hai.", Preeti ki najre is pal me sirf aseem shaant aur prakriti se bharpoor is jagah par sthirr thi. Wahi Arjun uske halke garam sharir ki mehak leta gulabi gaal par honth rakhe the. Kab hath sarak kar Preeti ke peit par aa gaya ye pata na chala.

"Fir bhi tum udhar dekh rahi ho?", Arjun Preeti ke sapaat chikne peit par tshirt ke andar hath daalte hue ab uske kaan ki woh bareek sone ki pin choomta hua apni sath poori tarah sata chuka tha. Aaj Preeti ke chehre par woh shararat ya Arjun par haavi hone ka irada na dikha. Halki sharam se woh khud he sikudti hui Arjun ke aagosh me aa gai. Jaha pehle dono sath baithe the ab woh Arjun ki jaangh par baithi thi.

"Aaj mera dil hai ke tum mujhe dekho aur main bas mehsoos karu, hum dono ke sath is jagah ko.", Preeti ki aisi baat sunnkar Arjun ne uske gulabi gaal ko hontho me halke se daba lia. Wahi hath peit se sarakta hua un kathor ubharo ki talhatti me aaya toh maje se aankhe band karti hui Preeti apni gardan peeche karne lagi. Ye bhi jaise ek avsar tha Arjun ke hontho ke liye. Lambi uttejak gardan par honth rakhne ka. Aas-pas ke drishy ko pal me bhulati woh khud kisi jonk ki tarah Arjun ke hontho se chipakti hui ab uske sath seena bhidyae thi.

"ummmmmm.. Mujhe kheench he lete ho apne sath.", Dono ke honth juda hue toh Arjun muskura raha tha wahi Preeti halke gusse se dekhti mooh bana rahi thi. Fir ek baar dono ke chehre kareeb aaye aur is baar bas samay ruk sa gaya. Dheeme se ek honth ko mooh me bharte hue Arjun Preeti ko wahi le jaane laga jaha sirf un dono ka he astitva tha. Arjun ke mooh me gulabi jeebh firat woh bhi aankhe band kiye uske baalo me ungliya firane lagi. Kab taange Arjun ki goad me dono taraf ho gai aur kab seene ek dusre par dabav dene lage..

'Trinnnnn' ki awaaj jaise Arjun ko dharti par wapis le aai. Bahot dheemi lekin is sannatte me un kano ke liye sunai dene wali ye dhwani Arjun pehchanta tha. Dono alag hue toh ab Preeti ke chehre par hairani thi. Uske dono vaksho par kase Arjun ke hath bahar nikal aaye lekin woh muskura raha tha.

"Ye Saadhu Singh uncle hai, doodhwale. Matlab 5 bajne ko hai ab aur humne bhi wapis chalna chahiye."

"Bhaad me jaaye tumhare uncle.", Preeti haavi ho chuki thi aur ab jaise Arjun bebas. Dono jis taraf the waha Saadhu Singh ka dhyaan ja he nahi sakta tha. Woh toh shehar me jaate the aur yaha ye dono viprit disha me in ghane vrikhso ki chaya tale sabki najro se pare jaise prakriti ka he hissa bane hue the. Arjun Preeti ko dono hatho se thaame apna pyaar jatane de raha tha lekin woh ab bhi santusht na thi. Arjun ka ek haath apne seene par khud he rakhti woh usko choomne ke sath he apni kamar aage sarkane lagi.

Aisi he toh thi Arjun ki Preeti. Usko sampoorn adhikaar se apne vash me karne wali jaha Arjun kabhi haavi nahi ho sakta tha. Honth alag hone ke baawjood woh uske poore chehre ko geela karne lagi thi. Sharir se chipke pajame ke beech jabhi kumud-ras aane laga toh shaant hoti woh uske gale lag gai. Arjun bhi jaise fefdo me hawa bharta khud ki halat durust karne laga. Hath abhi tak un dono vaksho par jame the, tshirt ke andar.

"Inhe chhodd bhi do ab nahi toh aage jo hoga fir shikayat karte rehna.", Preeti ki aisi ghudki sunnte he Arjun ne jhatt se dono hath bahar kheench liye. Kathor nipple pe halki ragad se Preeti ne ek baar aur Arjun ki kamar par dabav bana kar fir khudko dheela chhod tha.

"Pagal ho jaati ho tum. Kaha toh main tumhe ye jagah dikhane laya tha exercise karne ke liye aur kaha ye tumhara balatkaari roop subah andhere me he bahar aa gaya.", Arjun ki masti jaise bhari padne wali thi ab.

"Bachu jis din kia na maine rape fir kai din tak ye khada nahi hone wala. Keh deti hu, haan. Aur aisi waisi jagah na he leke aaya karo agar khair chahte ho apni.", Preeti uski goad se nikal kar ab saamne khadi thi. Arjun apne he sar pe hath marta khada hua aur naa me gardan hilata muskurane laga.

"Bilkul pagal ho tum. Chalo tumhe ek aur jagah dikhata hu, abhi bahot time pada hai.", Arjun uska hath thaame aage jungle ki taraf jaati kachi pagdandi par badh gaya. Preeti bhi choti bachi ki tarah ithlati hui uske sath chalne lagi jaise waha ek aur najara unki pratiksha me ho. Jungle ke beech 400-500 kadam badhne par woh khud he hath chhuda kar aage bhagne lagi jaha ye najara dekh kar woh hairaan thi. Woh nehar jaha aksar Arjun gaanv paar karke teirne jata tha, wo is taraf se he udhar jaati thi. Saaf neela paani aur ghane vriksh jaise is taraf unke siwa koi aaya he na ho.

"Wowwww... Ye tumne kab dhoonda? This is serene.", Woh nehar ke banere khadi kabhi paani ko toh kabhi uske upar jhuke bargad ke ghane peid ko dekhne lagi. Bargad ki lambi jataye latakti hui nehar se 3-4 feet he upar thi. Nehar ke dusre kinare bhi kataar se aise he ghane vriksh, jhaadiya aur kahi kahi saaf jameen thi. Arjun uske barabar khada khud bhi is drishya ko nihaar raha tha.

"Main khud pehli baar he aaya hu yaha. Ye nehar maine aage gaanv ke bahar dekhi thi lekin is taraf main nahi aaya tha. Waise bata deta hu ki yaha thoda khatra ho sakta hai.", Arjun ka ishara jungle ki taraf tha lekin Preeti ki muskaan jaise jyada bada khatra thi.

"Haan, yaha tumhe koi bachane wala nahi hoga. Lekin main taras khaa lungi agar tum mere sath iske andar chalo toh.", Preeti muskurate hue fir se paani ko dekhne lagi thi. Jaise ye hansini kisi bhi pal usme utarne wali ho. Arjun duvidha me padd gaya. Ek toh Preeti ko yaha laa kar waise he aafat mol le li thi upar se uska yaha paani ke andar jaane ke liye lalaiyit hona.

"Kapde nahi hai aur toliya bhi. Hum kal aa jayenge aur kal bhi toh ye sab yahi rehne wala.", Arjun ki baat jaise woh ansuni karti hui apne joote khol kar ab dheeli tshirt utaar chuki thi. Neela tang pajama bhi uske dudhiya jism se utar kar baaki kapdo par aa gira toh Arjun ne gehri saans li. Yaha waise bhi kisi ki maujdgi ka koi nishaan na tha aur upar se ye kaamdevi 2 chhote kapdo me khadi apna he aks paani me dekh kar muskura rahi thi. Sports bra ko bhi khol kar hath me pakde woh Arjun ko dekhne lagi.

"Hum abhi yaha par hai toh koi kal-val nahi. Mera dil jo chaah raha hai woh toh main karke rahungi. Ho sakta hai ye besharmi lage lekin main apne pati ke sath hu aur woh mujhe is haalat me dekh sakta hai. Apni tshirt mujhe de dena, towel ka kaam ye kar he degi.", Arjun kuch jawaab deta us se pehle he woh sirf ek tang panty pehne dono hath upar uthati paani me utar gai. Virane me ye chappaak ki awaaj bahot thi Arjun ko hosh me laane ke liye. Uski aankho ke saamne Preeti kisi jalpari se paani ki satah ke neeche dur nikal chuki thi. Halke bahaav wale is paani me jaha woh ruk kar khadi hui toh Arjun uske bheege chehre aur geele baalo ko dekhne laga. Bahaav ka jaise Preeti par koi asar na tha lekin najre paani par jamaye woh kya soch rahi thi ye jarur Arjun ko hairan kar raha tha.

"Tum bahaav ke ulat bina chalaang lagaye kaise teir leti ho?", Kaajal se kahi jyada daksh thi Preeti jo vaig ke viprit machli si teriti hui Arjun se thodi aage bane haud ki dawar ko pakad kar fir se ruk gai thi.

"Tum external force use karte ho na swimming ke liye toh tum asaani se nahi samjhoge. Manju is slightly better teacher kyonki ye main bas karna jaanti hu samjha nahi sakti. Waise kya irada hai? Jameen par toh tum haare he the jara paani me bhi utar aao. Dekhe kitna workout kia hai tumne.", Arjun muskurata hua apni tshirt is bina kaanto wale jhaad par utar kar rakhte hue jawaab dene laga.

"Yaha tum haarne wali ho. Tum teirna jaanti ho lekin jaan lagana nahi. Woh saamne nehar ka modd hai jaha safede ka peid laga hai. Waha tak race lagate hai. Jo hara woh kisi teesre ke saamne kiss karega.", Arjun ne joote aur pajama bhi utaar ke rakh diye the. Woh sirf aadhi nikkar pehne hoad ki diwar par aa khada hua. Sharir ko kholta hua woh khud bhi apne bataye nishaan ki taraf dekhne laga. 300 gaz se kam dur toh woh kisi haal me nahi tha. Preeti uski shart aur aatmvishwas ko dekh bas muskura rahi thi.

"Tum upar se he jump karne wale ho na? Mere 3 kehte he start kar dena.", Preeti diwar chhod kar dusri taraf chal di. Arjun ne bhi uske nirvastra ubharo ko niharne ke baad hanste hue angutha dikya aur Preeti ke 3 kehte he paani me kood gaya. Uski challang Preeti se juda thi aur thodi anaadi teiraak wali. Paani ko uchalta woh dono hath baari baari se aage piche karta aage badh gaya. Preeti wahi khadi ye dekh kar muskura rahi thi.

"Thakne ke kaam karta hai fir swimmer banega. Arjun darling 50 meter ka lap dia hai tumhe aur dugne se haarne wale ho.", Nehar ki satah par he paanv ka jor lagate hue Preeti ek baar fir paani ke andar he furti se kisi machli se aage badhi. Woh sar ke saamne se hath ardhchakra banati peeche laa kar kahi jyada raftar aur bina shor kiye teirne lagi. Arjun us uske beech ki duri jaise aadhe minute me he khatam ho gai thi aur agle ek minute ke baad Preeti manjil par pahuch kar saamne se aate Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Haath chalata hua woh thik-thak teir raha tha aur paas aate he Preeti ne khud he usko apni giraft me le lia.

"Bada atcha teir lete ho.", Arjun ke nirvastra jism se paani ke beech me chipki woh bheege hontho ko choomne lagi.

"Ye hath thik nahi hai abhi toh thoda slow ho gaya main.", Arjun bhi gehri saanse leta Preeti ke teekhe chuchak chaati par mehsoos kar raha tha. Apni kalai Preeti ko dikhate hue woh jaise ek bahana dene laga chhote bacho ki tarah. Kalai par bandhi paati ke upar shayad ghar se chalne se pehle he ye tape laga li thi usne, paseene se bachane ke liye.

"Koi baat nahi. Ab saja toh milegi he. Goad me utha kar kapdo tak leke chalna padega bachu. Paani ke andar ya bahar kinare se, tumhari marji.", Arjun ko bahar nikalna he behtar laga. Ek taraf nehar par jhoolti motti daal ko pakad kar woh bahar aaya toh Preeti abhi uske tagde jism ko dekhne lagi. Bheega hua woh majboot badan ab pehle se kahi jyada foola aur poore kataav dikha raha tha. Uski taraf hath badhati woh bhi Arjun se halat me paani se bahar nikalne lagi. Preeti sachmuch Arjun jaisi he thi lekin fakk-gulabi gori. Tarasha hua jism jispar koi vasa na thi, sadharan ladkio se jyada chaude aur majboot kandhe, ubhri baahe aur pindliya. Arjun uske seene ke ubhar dekhne ke baad ab gore kulho ke beech fansi panty dekh raha tha.

"Bahar nikalo mujhe. Waha baad me dekh lena atche se.", Preeti ki awaj se hosh aaya ke usko bahar bhi kheenchna hai. Jhempta hua woh bade dhyaan se Preeti ko bahar nikalne ke baad goad me uthaye kapdo ki disha me chalne laga. Itni savere khud ko nirvastra Arjun ke sath is haalat me paa kar Preeti ke chehre par alag he chamak aa gai thi. Thande paani ke bawjood dono ke jism ab garam the.

"Aise muskurane ki wajah?"

"Tum sexy lag rahe ho aur mujhe bada maja aa raha hai aise.", Arjun ke hath Preeti ki kamar aur gudaj kulho par the. Nange chuche kahi jyada sakhti se Arjun se dabte hue Preeti ki thodi der pehle wali halat ko fir se aag dene lage.

"Jo dimag me chal raha hai woh na he socho toh thik rahega. Dekho kaise haal me hum dono abhi aur tumhe yaha masti soojh rahi hai."

"Tumhara woh jaha lag raha hai tumhe bhi khabar hai. Anjaan matt bano.", Arjun uski baat par halki sharam se saamne dekhne laga. Geeli nikkar se bahar nikla uska motta supada Preeti ki panty ke thik beech fooli hui choot par daba tha. Kapdo ke pas woh usko utarne laga lekin Preeti aur kas ke uski gardan se lipat kar apni kamar araam se us jagah ragadne lagi.

"Umm.. Matt karo please.", Arjun ki aankhen band hone lagi thi aur Preeti sab ansuna karti hui usko hontho ke sath sath ling ko bhi dabane lagi. Arjun ka dimag kaam karna band kar raha tha. Seene par woh gulabi chuchak chaaku si ragad marte hue 2-3 inch upar neeche hone lage. Panty ka kinara jaane kaise halka sa ek taraf khisak gaya aur dono ke sharir me tej current sa daud gaya. Shayad jaangho ke failne aur nirantar ragad ki wajah se. Lekin parinaam ye hua ki woh gulabi baal-vihin naram yon-kund seedha apne premi se chipak gaya tha. Preeti agar ab 2 inch neeche hoti toh hadd par ho jaati.

"Please.", Arjun ne honth alag karte hue kaha aur Preeti bhi usko ajaad karti hui jameen par khadi ho gai. Ek adaad se apni geeli panty utaar kar woh purn-nirvastra apni kamar aur kulhe dikhati hui jhaad se tshirt utaar kar khud ko saaf karne lagi. Arjun moorat bana bas us najare ko dekh raha tha. Tarashe hue thos gol kulhe aur unke beech ubhri hui woh band yoni ki faanke. Jhukne par toh jaise dhadkan he ruk gai thi. Dil par hath rakhe woh bas Preeti ko taakta raha.

"Dekh ke he kaam chalana ab. Kapde pehan lo fir chalte hai yaha se.", Arjun ko hosh aaya toh Preeti hath se he apne baal sukha rahi thi, poore kapde pehne. Ek baar fir se uske chehre par sharam aa gai. Turant nikkar utar kar woh pajama pehan-ne laga.

"Sach me bahot bada hai yar. Tum kahi se bhi natural nahi ho.", Preeti ne furti se woh spring sa uchalta kaam-dand pakad lia tha. Ek bar jadd se supade tak usko maapne ke baad woh ek taraf ho gai. Arjun dekh he sakta tha. Pajama pehan kar tshirt ki halat dekhi toh woh itni geeli thi jaise paani me dubo kar nikali ho. Kass kar nichodne ke baad geeli he pehan li. Preeti abhi bhi jaise gehri soch me doobi ek hath se dusre hath par gith banati hui jaise Arjun ke ling ke sath hath ki samiksha kar rahi thi.

"Itna bada agar yaha se andar jayega toh ye toh navel bhi cross kar gaya.", Arjun ko wo jaise apne choot se peit tak ishara karke dikha rahi thi woh muskurata hua naa me gardan hilane laga.

"Aise seedha thodi na jata hai. Chhodo is sabko lekin ye batao tum itna atcha kaise teir leti ho? Aur tumne kaha ke Manju sikha sakti hai toh kya woh bhi tumhare jaisi he swimming kar leti hai?", Arjun ab gambhirta se baat kar raha tha toh Preeti ne bhi jameen par baith kar joote pehante hue jawaab dia.

"Mom ne mujhe pani me he paida kia tha. Ye ek natural tarika hai aur fir Greece me jaha maa ka pariwar hai waha pool bhi the aur ponds bhi. Tumhe shayad pata ho ya nahi lekin babies swimming kar lete hai. Mujhe kisi ne jyada nahi sikhaya lekin US aur Greece me maine life ke pehle 5 saal me itni swimming kar li thi jitni tabse aajtak nahi ki. Yaha bhi daadu jab club jaate the toh waha main ghanto swimming karti thi. Waha army ki kuch professional swimmers bhi practice karti thi aur meri tarif karti thi. Lekin Manju ko dekha toh laga ke woh better hai. But woh kehti hai ke main natural hu aur us se jyada atchi. Don't know but she's way more skilled and faster than the people I know.", Preeti baithi hui paani ko he dekh rahi thi.

"Main boarding me karta tha swimming aur yaha abhi kuch samay se he is nehar me aane laga. Mujhe lagta tha ke main atcha kar raha hu. Tumne is distance me he mujhe 100 meter ke aaspas se hara dia. Manju ke baare me ye toh pata tha ke woh swimming bachpan se karti aa rahi hai lekin jaisa tum keh rahi ho utna nahi pata.", Arjun bhi barabar he baith gaya tha.

"Dekhna chahiye tumhe ek baar. Yaha toh fir bhi flow ki wajah se energy kam lagti hai lekin stadium wale swimming pool me woh 10 lap aise karti hai jaise koi warm-up ho. Mere kehne par usne full force se compete kia tha aur Dimpi ne stopwatch se bataya ke woh har baar mujhse 4-5 second aage rahi. Aur woh practical hai, samajh hai ke dive kaise karna hai. Position aur movement ki har chhoti chhoti bareek baat tak woh samjha sakti hai. Tum bura nahi terite lekin aisa lagta hai jaise jaan jyada laga rahe ho aur body movement par dhyaan kam de rahe ho. Kal usko sath leke aate hai aur towel leke bhi. Ye geeli tshirt aur dono ke underwears kaam kharaab kar denge.", Preeti fir se hansne lagi thi. Arjun ne uski panty saaf pani se nikaalne ke baad nichodd kar apni jeb be daal li.

"Hey. Ye kya kar rahe ho? Woh meri hai."

"Tumhare pas jeb nahi hai. Aur rahi baat Manju ko yaha laane ki toh woh filhal nahi karne wala main. Tum aa sakti ho mere sath jab dil kare.", Arjun ke sapaat chehre ko ek pal dekhne ke baad Preeti ka dhyaan uske baalo par gaya. Hamesha apne ghungrale kesh peeche ki disha me saleeke se rakhne wale Arjun ke kundal is waqt kuch saamne aur ek taraf ki cheer liye the. Uske swabhavik roop me. Fir dhyaan us patti par gaya jo Arjun khol kar ek taraf rakh chuka tha. Kalaai par 3 kaale tanke us jakhm ko band kiye the jaha bhoori parat aa chuki thi.

"Jaante bhi ho kitne aks dikhate ho mujhe tum? Shayad tumhe nahi pata kyonki woh main dekhti hu.", Preeti ne ek kankar paani me maarte hue kaha. Chehre par alag he hansi thi.

"Jaise main toh kuch dekhta he nahi hu. Lekin chalo tum kehna chahti ho toh main bhi fir bata dunga.", Arjun ne apne baaye hath me Preeti ka daya hath thaamte hue uske geele baalo se tapakti ek boond ko us surahidar gardan par fisalte dekha.

"Hum jab yaha aaye the na rehne ke liye, tab daadu ek gana sunte the. I was not comfortable with hindi that time. Kuch aisa tha 'Darpan ne dekha tumko, tune jab jab kia shringaar' aur fir maine wahi gana ek film me dekha aur us abhineta ko bhi. Beshak baat filmy hai lekin woh chehra mere mann me bas gaya tha. Firoz Khan naam bataya tha Daadu ne unka, aur dekho jara tum bilkul waise he ho bas thode jyada jawaan aur meri jaan.", Khilkhilate hue Preeti ne dusre hath se Arjun ke baal kharaab karte kaha aur wahi Arjun ne usko kheench kar apni goad me lita liya.

"Tum na poori pagal he ho meri maano. Filmo me bhi mujhe jodd lia. Sach me bholi si gori gudiya.", Arjun ne laad jatate hue maathe ko choom lia. Goad me sar rakhe Preeti bhi araam se leti Arjun ko nihar rahi thi.

"Ye dhund fir dhal jayegi, rishtey bhi. Main wahi tumse har lamhe pyaar karta milunga, tasveer dil me liye. Gurehgaar bhi ho sakta hu khwahish ka sahil bhi. Mohabbat tumsi fir kaise kar sakunga jab dil ke darpan me tum he ho, Aradhana.", Preeti ne jaise ye kaha Arjun ke chehre par khushi chaa gai.

"Chalo pehle main tumhari baaton ko sahi karta hu fir apni kahunga. Lagta hai tumne woh bol bas tabhi sune the aur jaise sune waise yaad rakhe.", Arjun nehar ke dusri taraf se ugti laalima ko dekhne laga.

"Darpan ko dekha tune jab jab kia singaar
Phulon ko dekha tune jab jab aai bahaar
Ek badnaseeb hu main mujhe nahi dekha ek baar", Ye chand panktiya kis gehrai se kahi thi woh Preeti ke dil me utarti chali gai. Arjun ka chehre niche karte hue khud he usne pyaar us hontho ko choom lia.

"Ye maine pehle bhi tumhare he mooh se suna tha aur aaj bhi mera dil tha ki tum fir se ye gungunao. Haan woh baat bhi sach hai ke mujhe woh abhineta isliye he pasand hai kyonki ye tumhare baal bachpan me bhi aise he dikhte the."

"Tumne mere mooh se ye gana kab suna? Jaha tak mujhe yaad hai maine kabhi kisi ke saamne toh gana suna bhi nahi.", Arjun uske sar ko sehlata dhyaan se dekh bhi raha tha us gulabi chehre aur neeli-hari aankhon ko.

"Tumne ghar aane ke baad mujhe stadium me he dekha tha aur jaise main tumhe yaad bhi nahi thi. Lekin hamari us pehli choti mulakaat ke baad main tumhare ghar aai thi kyonki Chandigarh se wapis aane ke baad main Ritu didi se mili nahi thi. Jab unse pata laga ke tum ghar me he ho toh main dhoondti hui upar chali aai thi. Tum kaise dikhte hoge, mujhe yaad bhi rakha hoga ya kahi ab woh bachpan ka pyaar tumhe yaad bhi hoga ya nahi, ye sab sochti main chatt ki seedhiyon par aa khadi hui thi. Raat me tum chatt par akele baithe the aur aasman me dekhte hue yahi gunguna rahe the. Maine sahi se dekha nahi thi aur fir wapis laut gai thi.", Preeti ki is baat ko sunn kar Arjun khamoshi se uska masoom chehra dekhne laga.

"Fir yaad aaya ke mujhe tumse dur rehna hai kyonki tumhe shayad kuch yaad he nahi raha apne bachpan ke baare me. Ritu didi se lipat kar main kuch waqt khud ko sambhalti rahi lekin unhone kaha tha ke tum mere ho aur jald wapis aaoge mere pas. Lekin main khud se koi pehal na karu. Palak didi ki shaadi se pehle wale din jab Rajan ne meri kalai pakdi toh tumne kaha tha ke 'Preeti sirf meri hai.' aur woh bahot tha ye batane ke liye ki tum wapis aaoge.", Preeti ne jo bhi kaha tha woh kahi se galat na tha.

"Tumhe pata hai Preeti jab main ghar se dur tha toh maine sabkuch bhula dia tha. Sabkuch matlab apna pariwar, log aur khud ko bhi. Har raat bas ek sapna main kabhi bhula na paya. Meri bagal me baithi woh neeli-hari aankhe jo tumhari thi aur hum dono ko sambhale Ritu aur Alka didi. Bas tum waisi na rahi jab main wapis aaya aur fir mili bhi jab main stadium jaane laga.", Arjun thoda bhavuk hota fir se Preeti par jhuka lekin uske gale aur baalo ko soonghta hua.

"Pata hai mujhe aur ye bhi pata hai ke hum teeno se kahi jyada bhi tum kisi se jude ho. Lekin woh sahi bhi hai kyonki hum char log us chaya tale he toh bade hue hai.", Preeti ki aisi baat sunn kar Arjun ne araam se he uski aankhon me jhanka aur jaise jawab mil gaya tha.

"Haan Komal didi ko koi bhi najar-andaaj nahi kar sakta. Beshak uske baad Manju aur Renuka hai lekin main jaanti hu ki kabhi tumne apne sath hum teeno ki bhi agar andhekhi ki toh woh Komal didi ke liye he hogi. Aur sach kehti hu ki hum tumhare sath he hongi us ghadi me.", Preeti shayad Arjun ko us se behtar he jaanti thi.

"Aisa nahi hoga meri jaan. Chalo ab khadi ho jao aur chalte hai.", Arjun ne halke se un surkh honto ko choom kar Preeti ko uthaya toh angdaai leti woh apni sakht chuchiyan masti se Arjun ko dikhati khadi ho gai.

"Vaada sirf ek jagah shaadi ke baad karne ka hai. Main baaki dono jagah hamesha tayar hu. Lekin tumhari sehmati se.", Preeti ne aage badhne se pehle Arjun ko aankh marte hue kaha aur fir dono he hanste hue waha se chal pade.
.
.

Roopali didi ke sath ghar se nikalte waqt Arjun unse baaton me laga tha. Woh bhi hansti-muskurati uski har baat ka jawaab deti sath chal rahi thi. Bagiche me baithe Col Sahab aur angoor ki bail ko durust karte Rameshwar ji apne in bacho ko dekh kar muskura rahe the. Aaj Col Sahab bhi apne bade bhai sahab ke barabar bagiche me kaam kar rahe the. Tamatar, hari-mirch aur baingan ke paudho ko majbooti dene ke liye woh sarkande barabar rop kar unhe dhaage se paudhe ke sath baandh rahe the.

"Bhai sahab Roopali aapki bhatiji se pauti bann he gai. Sach me ye Komal-Ritu is alag nahi lagti ab."

"Satish, rishtey ka toh koi naam nahi hota bhai. Samman, pyar aur vishwas jo ho wo duniya badal sakte hai. Rupali ne wahi pyaar Arjun aur baaki behno me paya jo har behan chahti hai. Yaha usko samman mil raha hai chahe woh tumhari bhabhi se ya fir Arjun dwara. Ritu jis haq se isko daant lagatai, samjhati hai aur apne sath rakhti hai woh pariwar me vishwas karata hai. Waha iska rishteydar he kaun tha?", Rameshwar ji ab angoor ki bail ko aage tak durust karte baandh chuke the.

"Sahi kaha bhai sahab aapne aur badi gehri baat hai ke rishtey ka koi naam nahi. Samaaj bas kisi tarah apni manmaani se woh rooprekha banaye hai jo bhar di gai harek dimag me. Rishta toh bas pyaar ka he hota hai aur woh dono taraf se.", Col sahab neele-safed baingan aur us kesariya tamatar ko dekhne lage jo apne apne paudhe se jude the. Rameshwar ji bhi dhyaan de rahe the apne dost ki taraf aur unki baaton par.

"Satish idhar dekho. Ye jo gulaab ka jhaad hai na, ye Arjun ne tayaar kia tha poore 6 mahine me.", Col sahab unki baat sunnkar apne jagah se uth khade hue aur 4 feet ke lagbhag unche us gulaab ke jhaad ko samajhne lage. Safed, peele, narangi aur gehre laal gulab ke phool-kaliyan ek he paudhe par.Jameen me motti jadd bhi ek he thi.

"Drafting. Matlab usko kalam lagane ki atchi samajh hai. 4-4 kism ek par he laga di usne?"

"Bhai, ye paudha hai toh 2 saal purana lekin sawa saal se Arjun iske sath he duniydari samajhta aa raha hai. Woh kehta hai gehre judaav ke liye sabse jaruri hai bheetar se ek-samaan hona. Ye safed aur laal gulaab ke beech jitne rang hai woh beshak alag alag hai lekin sabhi gulab hai. Inke beech tamatar nahi lag sakta.", Col Sahab is baat ko sunn kar khilkhila uthe.

"Ab ye baat toh duniya bhar ko pata hai ke tamatar aur gulab ek daal par nahi lag sakte bhai sahab. Haan gulaab usne sabhi rang ke uga diye."

"Satish usne is se aage jo baat kahi thi woh badi gehri thi.", Rameshwar ji bhi ek rehasya se chehre ko dhake Col sahab ko dekh rahe the.

"Kya bhai sahab?"

"Woh kehta ke Tamatar aur Gulab vichitra hai. Ek par fal lagtha hai dusre par phool, ek kaanto se bhara sakht aur dusra naram. Lekin ye ek dusre ka dhyaan rakh sakte hai. Inki jarurate alag alag hai lekin wahi ek-dusre ke liye vardaan hai. Tum samajh sako toh samjho."

"Sahi kaha hai usne bhai sahab. Gulab ka jhaad is sahi duri se tamatar ki raksha kar sakta hai, uski madad kar sakta adhik phal dene me wahi badle me apni taraf ki paryaapt nami se tamatar ka paudha gulab ko sookhne na dega. Jitni khuraak is phal wale paudhe ko milegi wahi khanjiz se bharpoor mitti aage gulab ko sehatmand rakhegi. Badi dur ki sochta hai Arjun."

"Pucho mat bhai ke kitni dur tak soch jata hai woh. Kabhi kabhi lagta hai ke uske sawaal woh poochne se ruk jata hai kyonki shayad mere pas unke jawaab he na honge.", Rameshwar ji mitti se sane hath saaf karte hue bol rahe the.

"Aise konse sawaal bhai sahab jinke jawaab aapke pas bhi na ho?"

"Satish, uske sawaal samaaj ke niyam se pare chale jaate hai. Jyada toh main bhi nahi keh sakta lekin jitna aabhas hai woh batata hai ke usko jivan aur prem ka kahi adhik gehra gyaan hai.", Abhi dono aur baatein karte us se pehle he Kaushalya ji tayaar ho kar udhar aa chuki thi.

"Menaka ke sath main badi jethani ji se milne ja rahi hu ji. Aap nashta kar lijiye aur Bittu se baat bhi. Uska phone aaya tha ke woh pratiksha kar raha hai.", Rameshwar ji ne dhyaan dia toh bagiche ke bahar gaadi me Menaka baithi thi. Saamne ka hissa jaise taja durghatna ke halke nishan bata raha tha lekin gaadi sahi haalat me thi garage se thik hone ke baad.

"Thik hai shrimatiji. Waise Komal bhi sath ja rahi hai?"

"Haan. Leke toh Arjun ko jana tha par woh apne dadaji ka bhagat aapke he sath jayega. Chalti hu ji.", Unke samne he Kaushalya ji aur Komal gaadi me baith gaye. Komal agli seat par baithne se pehle apni daadi ko peeche araam se bitha chuki thi. Car turant aage badh gai.

"Toh sab thik ho gaya hai?", Col Sahab ne bhi hath dho liye the aur apne bhai sahab ke sath andar nashte ke liye chalne lage. Aaj unka bhi bhojan yahi tha.

"Meri samajh se toh shayad kuch hadd tak thik ho gaya hai. Baaki Nar-Narayan ki kripa."

"Woh parso raat wali muthbhed Tejpal ne sambhali thi? Aur ye Chandro bhabhi ji ka masla kya hua?"

"Haan, soochna mili thi ki Sheela Devi ka pariwar kuch logo ki madad se Sushila aur uske bacho ko mitane ja rahe the. Dusri taraf unhone badi bhabhi ko bhi nuksaan pahuchane ki koshish ki thi lekin dono taraf asafal ho gaye."

"Aapne anhoni rok he di fir bhai sahab. Main jaanta tha ke us pariwar ke liye aap sabkuch daav par laga sakte hai.", Col sahab ki aisi sateek baat sunn kar Rameshwar ji ne gor se unhe dekh. Fir jaise unhe bhi samajh aa gaya tha ke ye baat woh chaah kar bhi chupa nahi sakte. Shankar aur Kaushalya ka atoot bandhan aur Col Sahab ka Shankar se prem apne aap me misal the.

"Kya lagta hai ke maine kaise kia hoga? Haan us pariwar ko main kuch hone nahi dunga jabtak zinda hu. Raghubir Singh aur Sombir Singh ne kabhi mujhe khoon se alag bhai nahi samjha toh unke baad mera he daitva hai pariwaro ki dekhbhal karna.", Dono he baithak me aa gaye the aur Alka ye dekh kar andar chali gai thi.

"Main nahi jaanta ye aapne kaise kia hoga kyonki saamne se toh aap shamil hue nahi honge. Aur Shankar ka faila jaal kitna bhi bada kyo na ho lekin woh aapka bas ek chotta sa alag hissa bhar hai. Jiski andekhi aap jaanboojh kar karte hai.", Col Sahab ne paani ki chhoti ghoont lete hue gilas wapis rakh dia.

"Nahi Satish is baar main samne se shamil tha. Sabhi ko mandir ke baad market me chhod kar main khud he badi bhabhi wali ghatna par pahucha tha. 1 minute ki deri toh jarur hui lekin 25 saal baad mere hath bilkul nahi kaampe us insaan ko mitate hue jisko main ek behtar bhavishya dena chahta tha. Apni badi maa ko jinda jalane wale ka ye haal karna kahi galat na laga mujhe bas tees jarur reh gai ki maine Shankar ko baat kyo na maani thi.Bhabhi ke sath aisa na hota.", Rameshwar ji ke chehre par jo pashchataap tha woh kahi bhi us apradh ke liye na tha jo unhone kia. Ek masoom ke liye tha jo sabki dekhbhal karti aaj apne he pariwar walo ke shadyantra se ghiri thi.

"Aapne koi apraadh nahi kia hai lekin Rishabh par Shankar ki najar kaafi samay se thi. Uska phone aaya tha mujhe ke kuch bura hone wala hai lekin woh America me hai toh kar woh bhi kuch nahi sakta tha. Aapka bhi dukh samajh sakta hu ke aapne us ladke ko kabhi alag nahi samjha lekin apne he hath se ye karna bada mushkil raha hoga.", Rameshwar ji ne unki baat sunnkar ab chehre ko durust kar lia tha.

"Waise tumhe toh khush hona chahiye bhai. Tumhe mera yahi roop pasand tha aur Shankar is wajah se he toh tumhara humsaya hai.", Rameshwar ji sachmuch aashawadi aur hansmukh vyakti he the.

"Hahaha.. Sabko lagta hai ke Shankar jaanwar hai ya usme dil nahi hai. Woh aaj bhi shayad bhavnao ko ek he tarike se samajhta hai aur jawani us par thehraav liye hai. Woh maatra apka ek ansh hai. Pehle 3 saal toh aapne fauj me he bitaye the aur main aapke sath 1 saal raha hu us waqt. Tauji (Rameshwar ji ke pita) Maharaja sahab se kehkar aapko fauj se nikalwa kar police me bharti na karwate toh aapne apne he afsar maar diye hote. Atchi baat ye hai ke kabhi Shankar santulan nahi rakh paya jaisa aapme the."

"Sshhh.. Shaant. Fir kabhi charcha karenge is baare me. Kaushalya nahi bhi hai tab bhi uske mureed idhar he rehte hai bhai. Jo ithihaas me dafan hai wahi rehne do aur rahi baat mere pita ji ki toh woh munshi the toh dil kamjor he tha. Maa ne he bachpan me josh bhara tha jo 16 ki umar me main regiment me dakhil hua tha. Lekin abhi khana khao bhai Luxmi aa rahi hai.", Rameshwar ji ne turant he baatchit badal di thi saamne aati Alka ko dekh kar.

"Alka, fir degree ke baad kya karne wali?", Dono ke saamne thali lagane ke baad chote dada ji ki baat sunnkar Alka bhi muskurati hui wahi baith gai. Rameshwar ji ke ye ladli thi.

"2 saal pade hai abhi dadaji. Lekin ye pakka hai ke Cambridge ya Oxford se Masters karungi. Third option Germany hai."

"Matlab ye confirm hai ke jana bahar he hai.? Lekin uske liye plan bhi karna hota hai kuch. Bahar degree karne me 8-10 lakh lag jayenge aur rehna bhi itna he padega.", Col sahab sawaal par muskura rahe the.

"Mere account me itne toh hain he aur baaki dadaji ka bhi gaanv wala paisa mera aur Ritu ka he hai. Toh paise ki dikkat toh aane se rahi lekin daadi ko ye baat mere bauji he samjhayenge.", Alka ne badi safaai se banoodk Rameshwar ji ke kandhe par rakh di thi lekin Alka ke pas itni rakam sunn kar Col sahab hairani se dono ki taraf dekhne lage.

"Bhai yaha sab mujhe he saamne kar dete hai. Aur Luxmi jo paise bata rahi hai woh gaanv ki fasal aur #### shehar wali market ke kiraye se hone wali aamdani ke hisse hai. Jameen toh Arjun ke naam hai lekin fasal ke munafe alag tarah se kar diye the Kaushalya ne. Ritu aur iska 30-30% hai baki sabka 10-10. Ye dono 18 ki hui toh sara paisa baap-dada ke account se apne me jama karwa lia. Vishwas he nahi hai kisi par.", Rameshwar ji itna keh kar hansne lage aur Alka ke chehre par jhoothi narajgi aa gai. Idhar Madhuri didi garam chapati rakhne ke baad Alka ko ghoor kar dekhti chali gai.

"Bhai sahab badi dur ki soch kar rakhi aapne toh bacho ke liye. Aur ye kamai ka aisa bantwara toh meri samajh se bhi pare hai. Matlab Sanjiv, Madhuri, Komal aur Arjun ka 10%.?"

"Nahi nahi bhai. Isme Sanjiv aur Arjun kaha se aa gaye? Priyanka aur Aarti ka hai woh. Haan Sanjiv ne apna sabkuch Arjun ko de rakha hai. Us akele ki kamai in sabse jyada hai lekin woh bhi baaki charo ko 10-10 deta hai. Ye dono jara Kaushalya ji ki khaas hai toh unhone apna aur mera bhi Ritu aur iske naam kar rakha hai."

"#### shehar wale baag aur Bhabhi ki pushtani jameen ki aamdan matlab Arjun ki hai? Aapne toh bahot jaldi he sabkuch inme baant dia.", Col sahab ke chehre par prashansha ke bhaav.

"Na bhai, bantwara toh ek soot jameen ka bhi nahi kia. Haan ye bache padhe likhe aur kal ko jo karna chahe woh apne paiso se kar sake itni koshish ki hai. Jameen saari Arjun ke naam hai lekin ek tukda bhi bechne ke liye usko Rekha, Sanjiv aur Priyanka ke hastakshar chahiye honge. Tumhari bhabhi ke gaanv wali jameen me Rupali uski gaurdian hai.", Alka bhi dhyaan se sunn rahi thi jo bhi uske dadaji bata rahe the apne param-mitra ko.

"Bahut khoob. Sansar ko banaye rakhne ke aapke niyam bhi utne he jatil hai jitna Arjun. Hahaha. Atchi baat hai. Aur Alka beti tum bahar jaogi toh Ritu toh yaha akele rehne nahi wali tumhare bina.", Unki baat sunn kar Alka muskurane lagi aur jawaab uske dada ji ne he dia.

"Woh toh abhi se aavedan diye baithi hai. 2 saal baad woh migration England le rahi hai, uske doctor dadaji ki kripa se. Chale toh abhi jana tha lekin tumhari bhabhi 21 se pehle na bhejne wali thi usko. Dharmavir bhai ka sapna hai Ritu Neuro surgeon bane toh woh jaane kaise ye sabkuch pehle he kiye baithe hai."

"Sangwan ji ka moh sirf Shankar se nahi hai. Us se judi har cheej aur insaan se woh utna he pyaar karte hai. Ye maine waha Banwari ke sanskar ke waqt he dekh lia tha. Kapde badle bina jo vyakti operation se nikalte he itni dur aa pahucha toh woh kis hadd tak Shankar se juda hai hum sirf soch he sakte hai. Aur bahot mehnat ki hai Shankar ke upar unhone. Shankar ki training se pehle se he woh usko apne sath gehan-chikitsa me shamil rakhte the. Waise aapke sath bhi utna he prem hai unka."

"Shankar ki wajah se he hai bhai. Ab woh toh yaha rehta nahi lekin ek taraf tumhe mere sath bandha hua hai aur upar se Dharamvir, Kundanlal aur Nirmal Singh jaise uske baaki dharam-pita bhi mere aas-pas he rehte hai. Hahaha.", Alka ab waha se ja chuki thi aur dono apni baatein hasi-majaak karte purane-naye din yaad karte rahe.

School me Mrs Verma ne aate he Arjun se uska haal-chal lia aur apni chinta jahir ki thi uske accident me chotil hone par. Hamesha ki tarah unka period sahi tarike se gaya. Kuch samjhane aur kuch sawalo ke sath lekin aaj Physics ki nayi teacher nirdharit ki gai thi jinka pratham din tha class me.

Vedika Grover. Ek aakarshak 30 varshiya mahila jinke kandhe tak karine se kate baal aur chatakh rang ki saree unke bahri sondarya ko jahir kar rahe the. Chehre par bhi nasargik khoobsurti aur muskurahat bata raha tha ke ye kisi bhi lihaj se khadoos toh nahi thi. Sabka parichaya lene ke baad unhone ne apne baare me sankshipt shabdo me bataya aur ab tak padhaye path ki jaankari lene lagi. Koyal aaj unhe dekh kar jyada he chehak rahi thi jo Arjun ki najro se bach na saka. Ek kagaj Koyal ne bina Arjun ki taraf dekhe apne desk se uski taraf sarkaya toh Arjun ne jaldi se woh pakad lia.

"Toh pehalwan ji class me aap ladkiya taadne aate hai?", Arjun is awaaj se hadbadata hua apni nayi teacher ki taraf dekhne laga jinke chehre par wahi sawaal tha jo jubaan ne kaha tha. Mutthi me kagaz dabaye woh khada ho gaya. Sushil aur Dinesh toh khamoshi sar jhuka kar baithe rahe lekin Dharminder peeche baitha mooh par hath rakhe hansne laga.

"Ji...ji.. mera aisa koi irada nahi tha. Woh toh bas Koyal ko aise khush dekh kar main thoda hairan tha bas.", Arjun ne jaise he khade hone ke baad najre jhukai toh Vedika madam dhyaan se usko aur ab chaukanni baithi Koyal ko dekhne lagi.

"Maar-peet karne wale ladke yahi toh karte hai. School me aana aur fir time-pas karte rehna, yahi toh aata hai. Haan bholapan dikha kar tum meri baat ko galat sabit nahi kar sakte.", Abhi woh ye keh rahi thi ki class me andar aati Miss Annu Walia ko dekh kar sabhi khade ho gaye. Hamesha ki tarah aakarshak vesh-bhoosha aur simit prasadhan ke bawjood woh pehle se kahi adhik khoobsurat lag rahi thi. Youvan ka ye nikhar bhi Arjun ki he den tha.

"Tum bhi baith jao.", Annu ne ek najar Arjun par daalte hue ek file Vedika ki taraf badha di. File hath me lete hue Vedika ne jo kaha woh sunn kar Annu kabhi Arjun toh kabhi Vedika ko dekhne lagi.

"Isko maine khada kia hai Miss Annu. Pata nahi tha ke itne anushashit aur naami school me aise log bhi padhte hai. A section me jaane kaise aaya hoga, paise ke dum par ya sifarish par."

"Kya kia hai isne?", Annu ne shaant swabhav se poocha aur najre jhukaye khade Arjun ko dekhne lagi.

"Maar-peet karne wale ladke se kya ummeed kar sakte hai. Dekha nahi iska haal aur sharir. Upar se khuleaam ladkia ghoor raha tha besharmi se.", Lekin is baat ka jawaab kahi aur se he aaya.

"Miss Arjun bilkul waisa nahi hai jaisa aap keh rahi hai. Woh mere khush hone par wajah pooch raha tha aur maine he chit par likh kar wajah batai lekin aapko shayad kuch aur he laga.", Koyal ki aisi baat sunn kar Annu ne Arjun ki mutthi pakad kar saamne ki toh ek chotta sa kaagaj daba hua tha. Jis par likha tha 'Meri bhabhi'

"Lijiye mam. Dekh lijiye kya hai. Mujhe toh samajh nahi aaya 'meri bhabhi' ka matlab. Baaki ye ladka aur iski kismat Physics teachers ke sath kharaab he hai. Aap rakhiye ye course-notes aur details. Main chalti hu.", Annu ne ek baar fir jaane se pehle Arjun ko dekha aur bahar nikal gai. Vedika ne parchi par likhi baat dekhi aur fir Koyal ko bhi khada kar dia.

"Tumhari bhabhi main ghar par hu aur mister tum jara aisi baatein class ke baad kar lia karo. Apni galti ke liye I am really sorry but you must focus on class when your teacher is explaining anything. Fir jo baatein karo main kuch nahi kahungi."

"It's not your fault mam. I'm really sorry and I will not repeat this in future."

"Sit down. Waise ye Miss Annu Walia ke sath kya hua tha?", Fir se Vedika madam ke chehre par wahi muskaan aa gai thi.

"Madam isne pehle he din unse unka introduction maang lia tha jis par woh bhadak gai thi aur ye class se bahar. Hua toh agle din bhi bahar tha lekin tab kuch aur baat par. Iske sath he hum baaki teeno ke bhi bure din shuru ho gaye the Annu mam ke period me.", Dharminder se jab chup nahi raha gaya toh woh muskurate hue Arjun ki mahima batane laga aur baaki sab bhi hansne lage. Vedika madam bhi kursi par araam se baith kar mahol ke sath ho li.

"Matlab Physics ke sath 36 ka aankda hai aur padhane wale ke sath 72 ka.", Woh bhi hajir jawab aur alag he vyaktitva wali thi.

"Aisa nahi hai Mam, Arjun ko physics bahot pasand hai. Annu miss khud Verma mam se keh rahi thi ki ye syllebus se 2 saal aage chal raha hai.", Is meethi awaaj ko suna toh Arjun ka dhyaan bhi uski taraf hua. Class me woh kabhi bhi teesri kataar ki taraf nahi dekhta tha. Akanksha aur Koyal ke siwa toh usne kabhi kisi se baat bhi nahi ki thi. Is ladki ko pehli baar gor se usne dekha tha. Behad gori aur shaant chehre wali is ladki ke reshmi tambai baal ek safed kapde ke rubber se bandhe the. Lambai jaha shirt skirt se judti thi waha tak. Lekin is pal bhi usne Arjun ko nahi dekha tha.

"Bhai ye Mini tere bare me kya bol rahi hai.?", Dinesh ne Arjun ke kaan me fusfusate hue kaha aur idhar Vedika mam is ladki ki baat sunn kar tajjub se Arjun ko dekh rahi thi.

"Tum coaching le rahe ho bahar se? Non-attending students ki list me naam hai tumhara.", Ye file ka pehla page tha jo Annu madam de kar gai unhe.

"Ji nahi mam. Meri badi sister mujhe padhati hai toh fir woh class ke chapter nahi dekhti. Woh topic complete hone ke baad he next lesson par jaati hai. Kahi ek chotti si term ya point agar next class ka hota hai toh woh usko detail me explain karti hai isliye kai baar woh apni books include kar leti hai.", Arjun ne apni safaai me jawaab dia.

"Non-Attending kyo ho fir? Aur tumhari sister konsi padhai kar rahi hai.?", Vedika madam ki bhi achanak dilchaspi badh gai thi ye jaan kar ki woh class se aage chal raha hai.

"Ji Sports ki wajah se. Didi MBBS kar rahi hai aur.", Agla koi sawaal woh karti us se pehle he ghanti baj gai. Sabhi lab ke liye khade hone lage the ki Miss Charul Singh kaksha me chali aai.

"Computer ka period aaj ground me lagega aap logo ka.", Unki is sapaat baat par sabhi kataar se bahar nikalne lage aur Arjun us ladki ko dekhne laga jiska naam Dinesh ne Mini bataya tha. Saleti skirt ghutno tak ki thi aur safed shirt ki baaju kohni tak maude woh ek sadhi chaal se uske saamne se bahar nikal gai. Lambai kahi se bhi saadhe 5 feet se kam na thi aur pehli baar Arjun itne dhyaan se dekh raha tha. Fir woh bhi bahar chal dia apni taraf Charul ko ghoorta dekh.

#### shehar bypas se koi aadhe ghante ki duri par tha jaha Chandro Devi ab is neeji hospital ke sarv-suvidha sampann vatanukulit kamre me bister par leti thi aur unke sharir par alag tarah ki pattiya bandhi thi. Chehre ke ek taraf ye neela rang ka cream lagai gai thi aur waisa he gale se lekar seene tak tha. Sharir jaise aag me jhulas gaya ho waise he jalne ke nishan is dava se chupaye gaye the. Unka ye surakshit hath Kaushalya ji thaame hue bagal me baithi thi.

"Kaushalya, tu aai toh dil ko sakoon mil gaya behan. Dekh itne paapi paida karne ka natija tere saamne hai. Rameshwar ko maaf kar dena bas.", Chandro daadi toh hamesha pahaad se thi jinki awaaj sunn kar atche khase mard ki najar neechi ho jati thi aur wahi aaj bebas aur dukhi Kaushalya ji ko bade pyaar se bula rahi thi.

"Jiji, kaisi baat karte ho aap. Bacho ko hamare beech me kabhi na aapne aane dia na inhone. Dekh kar dil ko thes jarur pahuchi ki Rishabh kaise itni himakat kar gaya. Aap aur aapke devar ke pyaar bhare rishtey ke beech kaushalya kaise aa sakti hai? Unhe aapki chinta hamesha rehti hai aur woh yahi kehte hai ke bhabhi ko haveli se akele bahar nahi nikalna chahiye. Us din bhi aap ghar aai toh bas woh isliye he pareshan the. Bhagwan jaldi thik kar dega sabkuch.", Kaushalya ji ki bhi aankhen thodi namm ho gai thi is halat ko dekh kar. Is waqt kamra andar se band tha aur Menaka bahar Richa-Komal ke sath thi.

"Sahi kehti hai tu. Rishabh 3-4 baar pehle bhi us waqt milne aata tha khet par jab main dopahar me chakkar maarne jati thi. Usme itni himmat kabhi na thi ki woh kuch galat kar sakta, meri soch ke hisab se. Aur dekh kaise dokhe se hath paanv baandh ke jalte bhatte me gira dia. Maine kabhi farak na kia kisi bache me par ye najayaz apna rang dikha gaya.", Itni der baad un boodhi aankho me halka gussa aaya tha.

"Najayaz toh woh tha he isliye Shankar ki aankh us par rehti thi. Bhanwar Singh ka beej tha jo us masoom ko paida karna pada tha jiski izzatt usne looti thi. Sheela ko isliye dia tha kyonki uske he sambandh the Mohar aur Bhanwar ke sath. Lekin inhe kaise pata chala aap par humle ka?", Rishabh ki kundli minute me khol di thi Kaushalya ne jis par ek feeki si muskurahat Chandro Devi ke chehre par aa gai.

"Chala gaya un sabke he pas aur galti kar di maine jo Shankar ki baat na maani. Woh pehle he keh ke gaya tha ke us se dur rahu woh ganda khoon hai. Chal koi baat ni Kaushalya soch lungi aise paap ka prayschit kar dia. Rameshwar kaise aaya ye toh mujhe bhi pata nahi lekin Rajesh (Arjun ka mama) kuch samay se aas-pas he tha. Budhape me Rameshwar ko woh karna padd gaya jo woh jawani me bhi nahi karta tha. Goliyan chehre me utaarne ke baad bhi chain na aaya toh sharir bhatte me daal kar tala laga ke mujhe idhar le aaya tha. Kundan bhi sath he tha uske.", Kaushalya jo ko thodi hairat toh hui apne pati ke aisa karne par lekin fir woh muskura uthi Kundanlal ka jikar aane par.

"Sunanda aai thi milne?", Kaushalya ji ne woh baatein he khatam kar di.

"Na. Aaj aayegi shaam ko Rajesh ke sath, Richa se baat hui thi. Mera pauta kaha hai Kaushalya?", Is baar jaise ye aakhiri baat me dil he unhone Kaushalya ki hath me rakh dia tha. Awaaj laraj gai thi.

"Jiji usko hospital aane par pabandi hai. Aapke devar ke sath woh ghar he aa jayega milne. Rakh lena apne pas jitna dil kare.", Kaushalya ji ki baat unke chehre par peeda ke bawjood ek muskaan aa gai.

"Shankar aur usko dur he rakhna hai? Sahi baat hai teri waise. Komal bata rahi thi ki dimaag jyada tej hai uska aur jor bhi Shankar-Narinder se kahi jyada hai. Atchi baat hai ke us masoom ko in sabse dur he rakho. Lekin tu kismat wali hai Kaushalya jo bacho ke baad pauta-pauti bhi vardaan se mile."

"Kyon Bijender, Richa, Sudarshan kahi kam hai kya jiji? Aur Guddi-Munni jaisi samarpit bahu kisi ke pas na hongi. Mere wale bhi toh aapke he hai bas dur ho gaye lekin jald mil lenge ek dusre se."

"Jitne naam liye unme se bas Richa he toh sath hai. Sushila pehle he Bijender/Babita ka bachpan khatam kar gai aur Sudarshan kabhi samajhdar tha he nahi. Banana tha usko Shankar aur bann gaya woh Fateh. Natija bhi jyada na badla aur dekh Arjun ne lita dia usko saal bhar ke liye bister pe.", Ye bomb fodd dia tha jaise Chandro Devi ne Kaushalya ji par.

"Kya jiji? Sudarshan aur Arjun ka jhagda? Koi galatfehmi toh nahi ho gai?"

"Thand rakh aur araam se baithi reh Kaushalya. Sudarshan ne galti ki thi jo usne Arjun ki mangetar aur saheli ke sath gustakhi kar dali. Lekin sach kahu toh dukh bhi hoya aur khushi bhi. Dukh is baat ka ke meri itni mehnat ke bawjood Sudarshan sahi raaste na chal paya, kahi na kahi ghar ke kisi bade mard ki chaya me na pala shayad isliye. Khushi is baat ki ke Arjun apno ki raksha karni jaanta hai aur woh bhi kisi ke kandhe par banduk rakhe bina. Maine toh Arjun ko tabhi maaf kar dia tha jab Sudarshan ki galat harkat pata lagi, ek tarah se toh main bhi Arjun ki gunehgar he hui jo is ghar ke ladke ne aisi harkat kar dali. Lekin Shankar us raat he aaya tha mere pas maafi maangne.", Kaushalya ji hairani se sari baat sunn rahi thi. Shankar ka gaanv wali haveli akele jana koi badi baat na thi lekin Arjun ke liye.

"Kya woh sachmuch maafi maangne he aaya tha.?"

"Aur Munni se milne aata toh main ye baat thodi batati. Woh saari raat bahar aangan me leta raha aur bhor ke waqt pehli baat usne maafi se he shuru ki. Uski baat me darr tha kaushalya aur woh Arjun ke liye nahi tha. Sabke liye tha aur woh mehsoos karte he mera dil machal gaya Arjun ko dekhne ko. Bas isliye tere darwaje chali aai thi us din. Us bache ko kabhi dukh pareshani na hone dena Kaushalya, mere chahe milwa ya mat milwa.", Kaushalya ji filhal santusht bhi thi aur muskura bhi rahi thi.

"Maine toh pehle he kaha hai ke main kaun hoti hu beech me aani wali. Uske upar utna he haq aapka bhi hai. Waise aap jaldi se thik ho jao fir Richa ki shaadi bhi karni hai.", Is baar Chandro devi ne chatt ki taraf dekhte hue gehti saans bhari.

"Shankar uski shaadi ek saal toh hone na deta abhi. Training chalu hai uski Income tax afsar ki abhi. Shankar ki beti ki zindagi ka fainsla kisi aur ko karne ka haq nahi hai. Munni bhi baat karna chahti thi Shankar se lekin woh America chala gaya. Koi na, Bijender ki shaadi 2 hafte baad hai toh kisi se toh shuruwaat ho."

"Bijender byaah kar raha hai?"

"Haan. Aaya tha aaj 6 baje aur fir aayega. Keh raha tha wohi leke jayega mujhe wapis haveli aur ab mere he pas rahega. Kuch bhi keh woh pyaar hamesha karta tha lekin Sushila ki jidd ne kaam kharaab kar dia. Kaushalya 2 kaam hai jo sirf tu kar sakti hai. Bol karegi? Aakhiri itcha samajh le chahe.", Itna nivedan woh kisi se nahi karti thi lekin jaise Kaushalya devi he jiske samne woh khud ko bhi ek sadharan insaan samajhthi thi.

"Aap bas hukum karo jiji, main aur aapke devar jaan tak de sakte hai bas aap antim ithca mat kaho."

"Kaushalya jiske sath Bijender byaah kar raha hai woh anaath hai. Uska kanyadan Shankar se karwa dio."

"Ye koi badi baat toh nahi. Kaun ladki hai woh?"

"Anupama."

"Shankar khushi se karega ye kaam. Aap dusri baat batao.", Kaushalya ji ke chehre par ye muskaan dekh kar Chandro devi bhi khush ho gai thi. Fir kuch gambhir hote hue unhone apni dusri maang ki.

"Bindu. Woh dayan hai Kaushalya aur agar Bindu ka nahi roka toh mere pas toh khone ko kuch nahi lekin tera sansaar bhi jhulas sakta hai. Woh England me baith kar yaha jadde pasaar rahi hai lekin Shankar uske khilaf kabhi kuch nahi karega.", Ye jhulsa dene wali baat par Kaushalya ji ka chehra bhi tamtama gaya.

"Chinta na karo jiji. Woh Bindu hai toh uske upar 'Rekha' lagane wala Shankar se bada sher bhi hai mere pas. Lekin ye baat behtar hoga apne devar se kehna kyonki mere hath 2 he hai aur dono ek jaise.", Kaushalya ji ka swabhimaan bahot kuch bata gaya tha.

"Us masoom ko beech me nahi lana Kaushalya.", Chandro devi bhi kuch samajh gai thi.

"Ghabrao mat jiji. Aap bas unse baat karna aur woh khud dekhenge kaise jadde kaatni hai Bindu ki.", Kaushalya ji baat par bas unhone sehmati jatate hue sar hila dia. Darwaje par khatka hote he woh kundi kholkar bahar wale vyakti ko dekhne lagi.

"Dawa aur injection ka samay ho gaya maa ji inka.", Nurse ne andar aate hue kaha aur fir Menaka ke sath Richa aur Komal bhi andar aa gai. Sabhi ne kuch der unse baatein ki aur jaane se pehle Komal aur Menaka ko aashirwad de kar Chandro devi bhi araam karne lagi.

School ke samay se ek sawa ghanta pehle he Arjun ko Ritu didi lene aa pahuchi thi. Principal office se he chapdasi Arjun ko apne sath kaksha se idhar le aaya tha.

"Ritu Sharma tumhari didi hai?", Principal Mrs Singla ke kaanch ke table ke is taraf baithi Ritu didi ko dekh kar Arjun ne adab se sar hilate hue kaha.

"Yes Mam. She's my elder sister."

"PCB me 98% the tumhari sister ke, highest in region. Tumse wahi expectations rahengi hamari.", Mrs Singla ne chasme ka frame thik karte hue ek najar short leave par dalte hue kaha.

"Lekin mam mere pas toh PCM hai. Rupali didi medical me hai toh woh top kar sakti hai.", Arjun ki aisi nasamjhi par jaha Ritu didi usko ghoorne lagi wahi Mrs Singla le laal surkhi wale hontho par muskurahat aa gai.

"Koi baat nahi fir tum usme he apni didi ki barabari kar lena. Waise Ritu tumhare brother ki progress report toh tumhari mother le he gaye the last week lekin main batana chahungi ki ye sabhi main subjects me improve kar raha hai.", Arjun hairaan tha ke uski maa kab report le gai, woh toh kabhi bahar nikalti nahi hai.

"Additional subjects me mam?", Ritu didi ne jaise unki baat samajh li thi.

"Waise toh Computer class me bhi ye active hai lekin sports faculty ka kehna hai ke behaviour aur physical activities me Arjun is disobedient and irregular.", Ritu didi ne ek baar sar jhukaye khade Arjun ki taraf dekha aur fir aage baat kahi.

"PE ki class ye attend nahi karega mam. Library is better option.", Ritu didi ne baat khatam he kar di thi aur pehli bar Arjun ke chehre par khushi jhalak rahi thi. Mrs Singla ke hami bharte he Ritu didi Arjun ko liye bahar aa gai.

"Ye kya chakkar hai batayega?", Jaisi ummeed thi waisa he sawal kar dia tha didi ne. Corridor se bahar aate hue unhone ek najar unki taraf dekh rahi Charul par bhi dali aur Arjun ke jawaab ka intjaar karne lagi.

"Aapko kya lagta hai? Main kabhi bhi aisa kuch kar sakta hu? Lekin aapne thik kia jo jhanjhat he khatam kar dia.", Arjun abhi bhi didi ka hath thaame chal raha tha. Usko khushi thi ki aaj Ritu didi khud school lene aai thi.

"Ye Charul he teri PE faculty hai na?", Ritu didi ko bhi atcha lag raha tha jaise Arjun ne apni ungliya unki ungliyo me piroye hath pakad rakha tha.

"Haan. Aap jaanti hai isko?"

"Atche se jaanti hu isko. Ye aur Parul aati thi pehle Madhuri didi ke pas fir college badal gaye toh milna kam ho gaya. Kahi iske sath tera kuch?", Shararat se didi ne Arjun ke chehre ko dekha aur dono hanste hue bahar aa gaye. Scooty me chabi lagate hue Arjun ne apni baat kahi.

"Didi ye scooty par jana ab ajeeb lagta hai. Dekho jara mera size aur iska. Waise aap lene kaise aa gai.?"

"Dada ji ne tere sath kahi jana hai isliye unhone kaha tha ke 12 baje main tujhe le aau. Waise bhai tu mujhe bullet chalani sikha sakta hai kya?", Peeche baithti Ritu didi ki baat sunn kar Arjun ne sheeshe me unka pyara chehra dekha.

"Done. Waise sach kahu toh ye meri bhi khwahish thi ki aap Rani ko chalao. Sablog jo sirf aapko najuk gudiya sa samajhte hai woh bhi dekhe ki meri jaan sirf khoobsurat he nahi kahi jyada majboot bhi hai.", Arjun ka sidhe sidhe unhe apni jaan kehna Ritu didi ke chehre par ek haya aur muskaan le aaya. Arjun ne scooty aage badhai toh shaant gali me uske peeche baithi didi ne apne hath uske peit par rakh liye.

"Tu sach me aisa chahta hai?"

"Haan. Aur sath he chahta hu ke aap yaha bhi kabhi kabhi mujhe lene aaya karo. Mujhe aapke sath ghar wapis jana toh hamesha se pasand hai.", Arjun Ritu didi ke sath hamesha he dil se baat karta tha.

"Chal thik hai main aage se koshish karungi kabhi kabhi tere school aane ki. Waise Dada ji ke sath kaha ja raha hai?"

"Aap unhe jaanti ho. Jaane ke baad he pata chalega ye toh.", Dono he ghar ke bahar aaye toh didi utar kar andar chal di. Bahar Col sahab ki gaadi khadi thi. Arjun jaldi se kapde badalne upar chala gaya aur 10 minute baad he hath me ek paratha gol banaye hue apne dada ji ke pas baithak me aa gaya.

"Barkhurdar agar ijajat ho toh chala jaye? Tumhare chhote dada ji toh pichle ek ghante se intjaar kar rahe hai.", Apne dada ji ki baat sunn kar woh mooh me niwala bhare he unke sath bahar nikal lia. Tata Sierra ki beech wali seat par safed kurta pyjama pehne woh araam se paratha chaba raha tha aur aage baithe dono gehre dost-dil se bhai apne raste chal diye. Koi aadhe ghante baad gaadi in gaanv ki galiyon se hoti hui ek badi haveli ke bahar aa ruki jaha pehle he ek ambulance aur police jeep khadi thi.

Ye sachmuch ke mehal si badi haveli thi jiske bahar 5-6 gaadiyan khadi thi aur log aa ja rahe the. Dusri taraf ko aadhe ekad ka darwaja laga plot tha jaha darjan bhar log baithe guftgu kar rahe the aur is gaadi se utarte Rameshwar ji ko dekh kuch aded aur bujurg turant he unki taraf lapak liye. Koi paanv choo raha tha aur koi gale milta hua aabhar jata raha tha. Aisa he unhone Col sahab ke sath bhi kia aur fir aakhir me Arjun ne jo dekha toh woh hairan he reh gaya. Woh gaadi se abhi utar kar neeche bhi nahi aaya tha ke thik saamne us bade kutte ke sath apne dada ji ka sneh dekh wahi jadd ho gaya. Dono paanv dadaji ke upar rakhe woh unke seene ko chaat raha tha. Arjun bahar aaya toh woh bhoora-kala kutta usko bhi soonghne ke baad fir se uske dada ji ke sath he aage chalne laga.

"Paanv laagu dada ji.", Bijender ka sar is waqt poora chikna tha aur woh dono ke paanv choone ke baad hath jodd kar khada ho gaya tha. Rameshwar ji ne ek bar gale milne ke baad kuch baat ki aur fir Arjun ko kareeb aane ka ishara kia.

"Ye tumhare bade bhai hai beta, Bijender Singh.", Arjun bina kuch kahe khud he gale mila toh kuch pal ke liye Bijender usko seene se lagaye jaise dil ko araam dene laga. Dusri taraf Col Sahab andar ja chuke the Vikas ke sath.

"Sushila bas ghante bhar ke liye aai hai fir usko wapis bhi jana hai. Tum baaki sab dekho main sabse khud he mil lunga beta.", Rameshwar ji ki baat sunn kar bhi woh unhe apne sath liye haveli ke andar aa gaya. Yaha aaj sirf rishteydar he the aur ghar ki mahilaye. Ek stretcher par Sushila leti thi jiske kareeb kuch mahilaye baithi baatein kar rahi thi lekin samne se aate Rameshwar ji ko dekh Sushila ki shaant aankhon se bhi jhar-jhar aansu behne lage.

"Ye tumhari taai hai bua nahi.", Arjun thoda achambhit sa apne dada ji ki baat sunn kar dono ko dekhne laga. Rameshwar ji Sushila ke sar par hath ferte hue wahi baithi Babita aur Anupama se bole.

"Apne bhai ka dhyaan rakhna main jara nohre me ja raha hu Bijender ke sath.", Unki baat sunn kar dono he khadi ho gai aur idhar Col sahab bhi Mohar Singh ki tasvir ke samne hath jodd kar Vikas ko liye unke sath he bahar nikal chale.

"Unki baat par mat jana aap. Mere liye aap bua he ho aur rahogi. Papa ne toh yahi likha hua tha aapke naam ke sath.", Arjun nisankoch kisi ke parwah kiye bina Sushila ka gaal choom kar wahi ghutne neeche karta unka hath thaam kar baith gaya. Aaspas sabhi ye dekh rahe the lekin Sushila jis moh se usko nihar rahi thi woh sirf ye dono he jaante the.

"Tu bahot pyara hai re aur kuch alag he mitti se bana hua. Apne maarne wale ko bhi pyaar kar raha hai.", Sushila ki paniyai aankhe aur mushkil se hilta hath dekh kar Arjun ne khud he woh hath apne gaal par rakh lia.

"Bua, galti sabse hui aur fir aapko kisi ne samjha bhi nahi. Aap apne hath se mujhe maar bhi deti toh main tayaar tha iske liye. Bas baat sirf itni si thi ki aapka pyaar milne se pehle main marna nahi chahta tha. Aur ye motti meri badi behan Babita he hogi.", Arjun ki aisi baat sunn kar jaha Sushila uski samajhdari aur sneh se khush thi wahi Babita hairaan si hoti uske sar ke pas aa khadi hui.

"Tu kis tariya jaane hai re manne? Chooja sa toh hai arr manne motti kehve hai.", Babita ne bhi uske sar par hath rakha toh Arjun ke gehri muskaan dekh woh jaise jadd ho gai thi.

"Aapko toh gussa aata hai na sab pe, wahi dekhne ke liye bola tha. Sorry aur sach kahu toh badi pyaari ho aap bhi. Papa aapko Dolli bulate the na?", Arjun ne jo kaha woh sunnkar ye dusri vyakti thi jo in 5 minute me rone lagi thi. Fir khud he Arjun ne woh 2 motte aansu saaf karte hue unke chehre ko dekha.

"Tu paida bhi na hoya tha fer tanne yu sab kis tariya pata?", Babita bhi jameen par uske barabar ghutne modde baithi thi aur Arjun ne uska hath Sushila ke hath me pakda dia.

"Main kisi ko nahi jaanta tha lekin papa ne bina kahe woh rasta dikhaya jaha aap aur unke dil se jude sabhi log the. Maafi chahta hu ki meri andekhi ki wajah se itna kuch ho gaya lekin main nahi jaanta tha ke jo ho raha tha woh itna bada hoga. Sushila bua aapke jakhm bhar jayenge fir main khud he aapke sath idhar aaunga.", Bijender peeche khada ye sab dekh raha tha. Uski pathar si maa aaj aansu baha rahi thi uski behan ek ladke ko pehle baar apne seene se lagaye thi.

"Oh jhakoi. Aade tera bada bhai bhi se jisne tu 2 baar koot chukya. Sharam aave toh mere se bhi thodi maafi maang le.", Arjun jhatt khada ho kar uske gale lag gaya.

"Bhaiya 2 nahi ek baar. Pata nahi tha na ke aap bade bhai ho nahi toh woh galti bhi nahi karta lekin fir bhi ek baat jarur kahunga ki Vikas bhaiya ke liye main jaan de sakta hu."

"Rehne de chhote bhai. Tera ye Vikas bhai itna matlabi nahi hai. Meri mausi aaj manne pehli baar roti-hansti dekhi hai aur main Bijender ne kahu tha ke yu chhora jadugar hai jo kuch bhi kar sake hai. Samay ka her-fer samajh le aur tu shayad sab thik karan khatir he aaya tha is duniya me.", Vikas bhi idhar he aa gaya tha aur fir apni baat kehne ke baad Arjun ke sar par hath firate hue ek baar fir Bijender ko apne sath le kar andar chala gaya.

"Beta tu nirmal se lekin har insaan tere barga koni hove. Main bahot buri su arr dekh tu sab apni aakhya se dekhan baad bhi mere pe pyaar lutaan laag reha hai."

"Bua, aap na gusse wali thi aur jo hua waha galti bahot logo se hui hogi. Daadi keh rahi thi ki aap bahot pyaari ho bas koi aapko samajhta nahi hai.", Arjun ne apna nischall roop dikhate hue unke gaal ko halke se choom lia aur khada ho gaya. Babita itni der se sab dekh rahi thi. Ab uski maa ke chehre par dard ki jagah bas ek halki si khushi thi.

"Jab ya chaalan laag je gi fer pyaar dikha liye tu. Chaal baaki sabte tera introduction karwa diu. Yu saare tanne aankh paade dekhan laag re hai.", Babita ne uska hath thaamte hue 12-13 mahilao ki taraf la kar parichaya dia.

"Kaaki-Maami yu Arjun hai, Shankar kaka ka chhora. Arr Arjun ya badi maami, ya manjhli maami arr yu hai Kanta kaaki Gollu ki maa. Arr ya bhi teri bebe laage hai iska naam Anupama hai.", Arjun ne sabko hath jodd kar pranam kia aur fir andar se bahar aati is bujurg mahila ne uske sar par hath rakh dia.

"Manne daadi keh le ya Naani, main beta Babita ki naani laagu hu arr Anupama ki daadi.", Ye ghar ki bujuru aur swargiya Rammehar ki dharampatni ji thi. Unka aashirwad lene ke baad Arjun kuch der wahi khada raha toh Sushila ke kehne par Babita usko apne sath andar le gai.

"Wo didi ko main jaanta hu kya?", Arjun ke shabdo ne jaise Babita ko jhanjhod he dia tha. Anupama ko jis tarah Arjun ne dekha tha woh bhi samajh gai thi ki ye sawaal usne kyu kia hoga.

"Bera koni. Waise galat tame par ek baat kehni thi. Keh saku hu ke?", Babita kamro se usko sath liye andar aangan me chali aai jaha chulhe par bade patile me chai banati Akshra unse kuch duri par he thi abhi.

"Haan bejhijhak."

"Aagle mangalwar ne is number pe phone kar liye ek baar.", Fridge par rakhe kagaz pen se woh ek telephone number likh kar Arjun ko pakdati hui boli aur fir aage badh gai. Arjun ne number apni jeb me rakhte hue Babita ka he anusaran kia toh Akshara par najar padi. Bahar dekhi Anupama aur is ladki me ek dusre ka he aks tha bas ye sharir se thodi dubli aur fakk safed gori thi.

"Ke dekhe hai? Yu Akshara hai Anupama ki judwa.", Babita parichaya karwa rahi thi lekin Arjun kahi khoya sa bas is masoom se chehre ko dekhne laga. Jaane kya hua jo usne jhukk kar Akshara ke paanv choo liye. Akshara ko bhi jaise hosh aaya lekin woh apna hath uske sar par rakh chuki thi.

"Kaun ho?"

"Arjun. Sorry aap utni badi nahi ho lekin dil ne kaha ke shayad mujhe yahi karna chahiye tha.", Arjun ne sankshipt sa parichaya dia aur Babita ne steel ki badi thaali me 12-13 gilas chai ke rakhte hue uski taraf badha diye.

"Yu galiyare se seedha bahar jaa ke syaami nohre me chala ja. Arr sabne chaa pakda ke baaki jhoothe kaasan (Bartan) aade le aaiye haud pe.", Babita ne ishare se bartan dhone wali jagah dikhai toh Arjun araam se chala gaya. Gaanv-dehat me apnapan sahayad aise he dikhaya jata tha. Arjun andar us jagah tak aa gaya tha jaha Mohar Singh ko bhi ijajjat na thi aur Bijender bhi apni maa ya daadi ke maujdgi me he idhar aa sakta tha.

"Jaane hai yu kaun hai?", Babita moodha (traditional cane stool) sarkati us par baith gai. Akshara Arjun ko jaate hue he dekh rahi thi.

"Jiji, jo koi bhi hai lekin bera koni kyu apna sa laage hai.", Akshara ne sar pe se dupatta utaar kar ek taraf rakhte hue kameej ke nichle hisse se he apna chehra saaaf kia aur Babita ko dekhne lagi. Jo muskura rahi thi bas.

"Woh bhi dekh bina jaane kis tariya tanne dekhe tha. Dil toh uska teri chaati teh lagan ka tha lekin shayad chhora sharmila hai."

"Jiji batao na kaun hai yu? Meri jee michlan laag reha hai aur aap paheliya pucho ho.", Akshara ki tadap dekh kar Babita ne is baar shaant swar me he kaha.

"Tera chhota bhai hai woh. Arjun Sharma, Shankar kaka ka beta. Bahar woh Anupama ne bhi ghoore tha lekin tu kaka pe jyada gai hai aur woh bhi. Shayad khoon ek dusre ne pehchan gaya ho lekin bera koni ke thaam donua ka rishta bhi ho sake hai.", Akshara turant he khadi ho kar upar apne kamre ki taraf bhaag gai. Peeche Babita uski haalat ko samajhti hui khud chulhe ke pas baith gai. 'Bawli hai jama. Khud kehve hai ke Shankar se kuch lena dena koni arr aaj bhai dekh ke bura haal ho gaya.'

"Didi, main wahi ja raha hu. Kuch aur kaam hai kya aapko?", Arjun ki aankhen jaise kisi aur ko bhi dhoond rahi thi lekin fir woh jaane laga toh Babita ne usko apne pas he bula lia.

"Aade baith ek minute.", Babita ko jaise ye mahol kuch sahi laga tha baat kehne ke liye.

"Ji kahiye.", Arjun kuch duri par baith kar Babita ko dekhne laga. Gol gora chehra, kaali syaah aankhen aur 6 feet ka ek tagda gadraya sharir. Babita kahi se bhi koi kamjor gharelu mahila ya yuvti nahi lagti thi bas uska chehra saral masoom sa tha.

"Phone karan ki jarurat konya lekin tu mangalwar ne milan aa sake hai?", Dheemi awaaj me jaise woh kuch jaruri he baat kehna chahti thi. Lekin Arjun toh pehli he baar mil raha tha us se.

"Agar aana jaruri hai toh main aa sakta hu. Waise bhi 30 kilometer he toh hai gaanv aapka."

"Jaruri se is khatir he kahu hu. Gaanv aan ki jarurat konya lekin. Jadd sadak is taraf mude hai toh ulte haath ki taraf purani haveli hai mahari. Mangalwar ne tadke 11 baje ya dopahar me dhai-3 baje aana hai."

"Thik hai main 11 baje aa jaunga.", Arjun ki baat sunn kar Babita hairat se dekhne lagi.

"Maar ke ger diu tanne vadde fer? Kimme darr konya ke tere me?"

"Didi, aapse kaisa darr? Chhote bhai ko toh marne se rahi aap. Baaki itna mujhe bhi pata hai ke aap jaruri baat he karna chahti hai.", Arjun ki saaf baat par woh halke se muskurai aur fir seedhiyon ki taraf ishara karti boli.

"Upar chala ja aur woh galiyare me aakhiri kamre se pehle wale me dawa ka dibba rakhya hai. Ja ke le aa.", Arjun sar hilata us taraf chal dia toh Babita bhi waha se uth kar bahar ki aur chal di.

Galiyare me yaha ek kataar se 4 kamre the jaise haveli ke nichle bhaag me bane the. 2 kamre par karte he woh samajh gaya tha ke is hisse me log nahi rehte shayad aur darwaja thelta hua woh andar aaya toh bheegi aankho se Arjun ko dekhti Akshara saamne bister par baithi thi. Dono apni apni jagah he jaise sthirr ho gaye the. Arjun chetna me aaya jab Akshara usko apne seene se lipti mili.

"Bhaiiiii.. ", Fafak kar roti hui Akshara ke mooh se ye alfaaj sunn kar Arjun ne aankhen band kar li. Hath khud he peeth sehlate hue jaise Akshara ko haunsla dene lage. Fir dono hath me woh pyaara chehra thaamte hue Arjun ne pyaar se unki aankho ko dekha aur jeb se rumaal nikal kar chehra saaf karne laga.

"didi.. Aap meri didi ho?"

"Shankar kaka ke sath tujhe 12 baras pehle dekha tha maine. Mera saga bhai toh koi nahi hai lekin tere raakhi jarur bandhi thi. Itne saalo baad dekha na toh khud ko rok na paai.", Arjun ne is baar fir se unhe seene se lagate hue jaise unki dhadkan mehsoos karni chaahi. Aur woh bhi samajh gaya tha ke kuch toh jhooth hai lekin woh pyara he tha jo bhi tha.

"Chalo abse hum sage bhai-behan he ho gaye. 12 saal ki toh main poorti kar nahi sakta lekin aapse har mahine milne aaya karunga yaha aur aap bhi jab dil kare ghar pe phone karke mujhse baat kar sakti hai. Ab rona band kijiye aur chaliye bahar chalte hai. Haan woh dawa ka dibba lene ke liye mujhe yaha Babita didi ne bheja tha."

"Koi dabba nahi hai idhar. Jiji ne mujhe pareshan dekh kar tujhe bheja hai. Yaha toh main tere gale lag he sakti hu, bahar toh Chauhdariyo ke usool ijajat nahi dete na jawan ladki ko ladke se pyaar dikhane ka. Chahe fir bhai-behan he kyu na ho.", ye baat jaise chott he kar gai thi Arjun ke mann me.

"Chalo jara aap mere sath aao.", Arjun ne kalai chodd di toh chehra saaf karne ke baad Akshara sakuchati si us se 2 kadam peeche he chalti neeche aa gai. Usko bahar wale aangan me leke aati woh halat sambhal chuki thi.

"Bua, ab aapse jald he milunga main.", Arjun ne Sushila ko halke se apne seene se lagaya, jo ab stretcher par he thodi baithi si thi. Sushila ne bhi maath choom kar haami bhari. Lekin iske baad Arjun ne jo kia woh dekh kar Akshara ke paseene chhoot gaye. Woh waise he Babita aur Anupama ke gale lagta hua aakhir me darwaje ke pas khadi uske bhi gale se lag gaya. Babita muskura rahi thi aur Anupama bhi hairat me thi apni judwa behan ke jaise he. Fir Sitara devi ke gale lagte hue Arjun ne kaha.

"Waise toh mera bhi dil aapko naani he kehne ka tha lekin naani toh 3 hai pehle he aur daadi meri 2 hai. Toh aapko daadi he kahunga main, barabar ho jayega na.", Sitara devi is gamgeen waqt me bhi muskura uthi beshak aankho me aansu aa gaye the.

"Beta tu aaj pehli baar bhi aaya toh aise waqt me jab tujhse main sahi se mil bhi na paai. Lekin tu ab yaha befikar ho ke aa aur sab tere he apne hai yaha. Bas aana jarur beta kyonki shayad tu he is ghar me khushiyan wapis laa sakta hai.", Woh khud he jab Arjun ke seene se lagi toh jaise kamjor padne lagi. Arjun unhe sambhal kar is taraf laate hue charpai par baitha kar hatho se paani pilane laga.

"Aap apna dhyaan rakhiye aur ye ghar aapki he chaaya me chalna chahiye. Khushiyan kahi nahi jaati bas humko sath rehkar us se pehle ka safar karna padta hai. Daadi main jald he aapse milne aaunga aur aapke pas rukk kar he jaunga.", Arjun unka hath thaame baitha tha ke Rameshwar ji bhi idhar aa gaye aur hath jodte hue Sitara devi ke charan sparsh karke barabar baith gaye. Rishtey me jaise woh devar he the jo Sitara devi na ghoonghat bhi na kia.

"Rameshwar iska khayaal rakhio. Main jaanti hu is ghar ne tumhe bahut taklif di hai lekin abse yaha teri bhabhi he sabkuch sambhalegi aur kabhi shikayat ka mauka na milega.", Arjun ka hath Rameshawr ji ke hath me rakhti woh Arjun ka sar sehlane lagi thi.

"Taklif shayad charo pariwaro ko barabar hui hai bhabhi. Aap apna khayaal rakhiye aur Sushila bhi durust hone ke baad apne ghar he jayegi. Main aata rahunga aur Somwar ko Umed ke sath he Shankar bhi milne aayega. Abhi aagya dijiye fir tehravi par main Kaushalya ke sath he aaunga.", Rameshwar ji ne fir se hath jode toh Col sahab bhi idhar aane ke baad Sitara Devi se mile.

"Apni chaaya ke bina tum aaj bhi nahi chalte. Satish tujhe bhi jaane-anjaane bahot dukh pahuchaya hai maine. Maaf kar dena bhai ho sake toh."

"Bhabhi jab aapne kuch kia he nahi toh maafi kis baat ki aur mere dil me toh kabhi kisi ke liye koi nafrat waise he nahi aai. Apna dhyaan rakhiye ab mujhe bhi chalna hoga.", Itni der se Sushila ke pas baitha Sultan bhi turant uth khada hua. 2 helper aur ek nurse us stretcher ko bhi le jane lage the aur Babita-Bijender unke sath he bahar aa gaye. Arjun ek baar Akshara ko pyaar se dekh kar apne dono dada ke sath bahar nikal gaya.

"Ye aapko jaanta hai? Mooh dekhna kitna bada hai iska.", Arjun dekh raha tha ke uske dadaji ab khud he us bade kutte ko dular rahe the. Aur uski baat ka jawaab Bijender ne dia tha.

"Dada ne he dia tha ye mujhe 5 saal pehle aur us se pehle ek saal inke pas he tha. Iska naam Sultan hai.", Bijender ne naam pukara toh Sultan ek baar uski taraf dekh kar fir se Rameshwar ji ke sath khelne laga.

"Beta, koi dikkat pareshani ho toh hichkichana nahi. Jo bann padega main jarur karunga aur tumhari maa se milne jaate rehna. Samay sabkuch thik kar dega. Vikas tum bhi kuch din yahi se aana jana karte rehna. Ghar me jitne sadasya hai unki dekhbhal ye akela nahi kar payega.", Ye baat Col sahab ne kahi thi aur dono he pehalwan unke charan sparsh karte unhe gaadi me baithte dekhne lage. Arjun bhi dono se gale lag kar fir milne ka bolta hua beech wali seat par aa baitha. Darwaja se jhaankti Akshara ko dekh woh muskura raha tha. Kuch he der me gaadi jaha se aai thi us raste par wapis chalne lagi.

"Mujhe bhi waisa dog chahiye bauji.", Arjun ki aisi baat sunn kar Rameshwar ji ke udaas chehre par fir se hansi aa gai.

"Abhi tum pehle he bahot jimmedari sambhal rahe ho. Aur Sultan jaisi nasal tum bina kisi anubhav ke nahi kaabu kar sakte ho abhi. Woh ek German badi nasal hai Arjun jiske liye shayad hamara ghar paryapt na ho.", Rameshwar ji fir se saamne dekhne lage aur Arjun thoda udaas ho gaya tha unki baat sunn kar.

"Koi baat nahi tum udaas mat hona. Main Shankar se kehta hu woh tumhe German Shepherd ya koi labrador la dega. Woh nasle ghar me araam se reh bhi lengi aur tum sambhal bhi sakte ho. Lekin garmi ki chuttiyon me he milega.", Col sahab ki baat sunn kar Rameshwar ji thoda achraj se unhe dekhne lage.

"Satish maanta hu ki Arjun sambhal sakta hai lekin jab ye ghar se bahar se bahar ho kuch din toh peeche se kaun dekhbhal karega?", Unki shanka jaayaz he thi.

"Preeti-Ritu koi bhi kar lega aur waise bhi jaha tak main jaanta hu aap khud he training dene wale ho. Aapka lagaav jag-jahir tha aur Madhuban me shayad he koi police dog ho jo aapki najar se bacha ho. Sabko diye hai aapne toh ek Arjun bhi rakh sakta hai.", Arjun dhyaan se sunn raha tha unki baatein.

"Dada ji dogs ko bhi train karte the?"

"Ghodo ko bhi. Tere papa ke pas toh abhi bhi 2 kathiawadi ghode aur 2 german shepherd hai. Khud dilwa ke laaye the ye usko Poona se. Lekin main sehmat hu ke ab ghar pe jarurat bhi hai. Nahi toh fir main mere yaha rakh leta hu.", Col sahab ke itne bade khulase ke baad Arjun apne dada ko hairat se dekh raha tha.

"Thik hai bhai agar aisi he baat hai toh mangwa dete hai. Apni daadi ke saamne tum maanoge jimmedari uthane wali baat aur uski saaf-safaai bhi tumhi dekhoge."

"Matlab jab main jab anubhavi ho jaunga toh uske baad aap mujhe Sultan jaisi nasal bhi rakhne denge.?"

"Nahi. College ke baad tum haathi-ghode jo marji rakh lena us se pehle sirf tumhare pas teen option hai. Labrador, Doberman aur German Shepherd. Rottweiler ya Pakistani bulli kabhi ghar ke andar nahi aayenge.", Rameshwar ji ne thoda sheesha neeche kia aur bahar dekhne lage. Arjun muskura raha tha aur uske sath he col sahab bhi.

"Aap sachmuch bade pyaare ho bauji. Thank you so much.", Peeche baithe Arjun ne apni baahen unke gale me daalte hue khushi jaahir ki.

"Beta rakhna main bhi chahta hu lekin tum khud he dekh lena ki ek chota sa pilla jab ghar me aata hai toh har cheej us se prabhavit ho jati hai. Woh mehnat kisi insaan ke bache se jyada lagti hai pehle 6 mahine aur agar hum dhyaan nahi denge toh natije ulat bhi sakte hai. Shankar ke pas jagah hai, log hai aur woh samay bhi deta hai. Jabse woh paida hua toh ghar me hamesha janwar rakhe gaye lekin yaha is ghar me pichle 8 saal me koi janwar nahi pala gaya hai. Khair atchi baat hai tum zindagi ke bahot saare sabak seekhne wale ho apni is itcha-purti ke sath.", Rameshwar ji bhi uske dono hath pakde waise he samjha rahe the.

"Bhai sahab Preeti kabse peeche padi thi lekin mere idhar woh dekhbhal nahi ho sakti jaisi aapke pas milegi.", Rameshwar ji ab maan chuke the.

"Waise dada ji Maa ke pas bhi nanihal me ek hai jo unse bahot pyaar karta hai. Toh woh bhi dhyaan rakhne me meri madad kar he dengi."

"Tiger bhi tere dada ji ne he dia tha lekin Rekha ne woh wahi rakha kyonki unke pas log aur jagah hai. Sath he nigrani karne wala samajhdar kutta hai woh.", Arjun ab jaise naraaj he ho chala tha ye baat sunn kar.

"Kaha faswa rahe ho bhai. Bittu ne woh mujhse lia tha kyonki tumhari maa chinta karti thi udhar ki. Haan unke ghar me bhi shuru se he pashu rahe hai toh sabhi gharwale jaante hai sambhalna. Kal ko tu kahega gaaye bhi rakhni hai.", Rameshwar ji palla chudate hue jawaab dene lage.

"80 gaaye hai pehle he apne pas. Gaushala me jaa chuka hu. Aur waha bhi aapne 2 dogs rakhe hue hai. Chalo chhodo ye sab bas ab aap jo kahenge woh main maanunga lekin chhuttiyon me mujhe tiger jaisa he puppy chahiye.", Halki fulki baatein karte pata bhi nahi chala ke kab ghar bhi aa gaye. Samay abhi dhai he hua tha toh dopahar ka khana karne ke hisab se Pandit ji apne mitra ko bhi ghar me he le aaye aur Arjun bahar se he upar apne kamre ki aur.

"Haan toh meri lomdi mil li apne bhai te?", Babita is waqt khana kha rahi thi aur uske sath he Akshara aur Anupama bhi, uske he kamre me.

"Mil li jiji.", Akshara ki baat sunn kar Anupama hairat se dekh rahi thi. Usko jaise kuch khabar nahi thi ki kis bhai ki baat ho rahi hai.

"Sabke syaami tere kaalje ne laag gaya dekhi chhore ki himmat. Is haveli me aaj tak toh ehsa pehle koni hoya tha lekin aaj hoya bhi arr dekh naani-maami arr meri maa bhi kuch kehan ki jagah khush hove thi. Aaj toh koi chaudhary na dikhya.", Babita ne jaise he ye yaad dilaya Akshara ke sharmile chehre par ek khoobsurat mukaan teir gai. Wahi itni der se chupchap baithi Anupama bol uthi.

"Jiji, woh mahara bhai kis tariya hoya? Arr aapki baat bhi chokhi hai. Usne toh aapke bhi koli bhar li thi arr itni himmat koi aur kar deta toh aap toh gaal sujati he sath baaki toh haddi-pasli ek kar dete."

"Woh pehla he bhai arr maa ne bacha lyaya ri bawli. Jo maut den wale ne bhi pyaar karke maaf kar sake hai toh uske khatir yu kaam badda konya. Rahi baat mere koli bharan ki toh main toh tere chhotte bhai ke syami ke ke karungi thaam bas soch ke hairan ho lio. Shankar kaka ka chhora thaam donua ne shayad pehchane hai.", Babita ne angdaai lete hue apne dono bade aur kasaav liye kharbuje ubharte hue ek maadak angdai ke sath kaatil muskaan dete hue baat kahi.

"Chiii.. Woh baalak hai jiji. Aap kaisi baat karo ho?", Akshara sharam se laal hoti hui roti ke andar nakhun gadane lagi thi aur Anupama abhi bhi hairani se kabhi Babita ko dekhti toh kabhi apni judwa behan ko.

"Baalak toh usne Bheem aur Bijender sabit kar diye. Chalu bhi ghana hai jo thaare toh pyaar teh gale milya arr mere kass ke. Eb talak bobbe dukhe hai mere.", Thali bister ke ek taraf rakhti Babita ne band kamre me he apni kameej upar utha kar woh asadharan roop se badi bra khol kar ek taraf fenki aur apne bade chucho ko sehlane ke baad kameej fir se niche kar lia. Bister ke dusri taraf takiya chaati ke neeche dabati woh leit kar dono ko dekhne lagi. Anupama toh honth dabaye abhi thodi der pehle wale drishya se bhochakki si apni badi behan ko dekh rahi thi lekin Akshara araam se baithi rahi.

"Jiji aap sach me uske kaani aasakt ho?", Akshara ki seedhi si baat sunn kar Babita gambhirta se boli.

"Dekh bebe, byaah toh mera Gollu gail hovega lekin sach kahu toh manne ek sharat khud ke sath lagai hoi thi. Bheem ya Bijender us chhore ne maar dete toh unme se jo bhi koi mere hath lagata toh main apna kunwarapan saunpne ke sath maar deti. Arr jo ulta hota jo ho bhi chukya hai toh main dil se us insaan ne dhanywad karti jisne yu pariwar bachaya aur galat ke galat sahi gail sahi kia. Arjun ne toh aur bhi gehri jagah bana di ri. Maa-bhai toh bachaye he sath he donua ne badal ke poora kunba sudhar dia. Eb bata main 32 ki umar me agar pehli baar apni khushi jaahir karu toh yu galat kis tariya hoya?"

"Na jiji. Kimme galat koni aur Arjun shayad sambhal bhi le aapne, koi aur toh shayad he pyaar ka jawaab pyaar gail de.", Akshara ne bina najre uthaye kaha.

"Tu bawli hai jo badi jiji ne ulti baat batave hai? Woh sharir teh tagda hovega lekin jo baat jiji kare hai uske khatir aur bhi bahot kuch seekhna pade hai.", Anupama kehne se rok na saki.

"Tu ke soche hai woh chhora anubhavi koni? Bawli tu hai bebe. Menaka uspe lattu hai arr pehle bhi manne jiske satti woh dekhya tha waah uski mashook bhi koi meri umar ki he thi. Bhool na ke woh aulaad kiski hai. Shankar kaka is maamle me apne tame pe shikari tha arr yu uska bhi baap laage hai manne. Baaki bhindi ho ya gajar, bheetar toh pehla uska he javega.", Babita ne hanste hue aakhiri line kahi aur Anupama thaaliya utha kar abhi aane ka bol kar fir se darwaja band karti bahar chali gai.

"Muskaan bhi toh Arjun ke sath he hai jiji.", Akshara ne aisi baat kahi ke Babita seedhi baith gai. Kameej par dono taraf button se ubhar aaye the un pahado ke shikhar par.

"Waah meri jaan. Yu baat kari tanne pate ki. Phone khishkaiye aade.", Akshara ne phone saamne kia aur diary bhi jisme phone number likhe the. Number milane ke baad Babita ne woh laal rang ka 'loudspeaker' wala button daba dia.

"Hello. International Women Hostel."

"Ji I am Babita Singh sister of Muskaan ####. Please connect my line with her.", Babita ne saaf angrezi bhasha me jawaab dia aur samne wale ne bhi 2 button dabane ke baad ye line hold par rakhte hue hostel ke kamre ka number daba dia. Jald he line par ye meethi awaj aai.

"Babita Singh on another line."

"Please Connect.", Muskaan apne bister par leti hath me intercom liye agli awaaj ka intjaar karne lagi.

"Oh laado. Ke haal tere?"

"Main badhia didi. Aaj aapko meri yaad aa he gai.", Muskaan ne jawaab dia toh Babita ki jagah Akshara ne baat ki.

"Muskaan, yaha pe mahol thik nahi tha isliye didi baat nahi kar paai. Pehle toh har dusre din phone karti he thi."

"Sorry didi mera woh matlab nahi tha. Waise aana main bhi chahti thi lekin pata nahi fir sab kaise treat karenge aur kya sochenge.", Muskaan ne ek najar ghadi par ghumai toh 3 baje hue the. Woh araam se baat kar sakti thi.

"Arjun gail toh he sake hai. Aur tere se kiski narajgi aade? Tu pehla bhi aade ladli thi arr ebb bhi hai.", Babita ne jo naam lia woh sunn kar Muskaan ki muskaan lambi ho gai. Khud ke peit ko sehlati hui woh hansti hui boli.

"Aapko ye Arjun kaha se yaad aa gaya? Aur bade yakeen se kaha ke main usko waha leke aa jau."

"Thodi der pehla aade he tha woh baalak. Usne dekh ke toh teri yaad aai ke mahari Muskaan bhi dekho kis balak gail dillagi lagaye baithi se.", Babita ki baat Akshara samajh gai thi. Woh muskurati hui maje se baat sunn rahi thi.

"Bacha nahi hai didi lekin pyara toh sachmuch bahot hai. Aur dekho waha aap logo se milne bhi chala gaya aur mujhe khabar tak nahi. Waise ek aur baat bata deti ho, aapke saamne toh besharam hu he thodi main.", Muskaan bhi peit ke bal leit gai thi ab.

"Oho. Tu mere jitne besharam kadd ho gai? Bata kunsa raaj batana tha.", Babita ne Akshara ko aankh maarte hue Muskaan se kaha.

"Aaj raat Arjun mere pas aayega ya shayad main uske pas jaungi.", Itna bolte he Muskaan ne aankhe band kar li.

"Baap re. Baalak ne khaa na jaiye. Tu kheli khaai hai woh nasamajh hai, khaagad (Saand) hoya toh ke baat hoi hai toh balak buddhi."

"Na main kheli khai hu aur na woh nasamajh. 2 girlfriend pehle he hai uski aur agar uska woh aapne dekh lia na toh pehle aankhen phatengi fir woh jagah jaha woh jayega.", Muskaan ke kehne ka andaaj he bata raha tha ke usne jivan me ye sukh kabhi lia nahi aur na aisi khuli bhasha prayog ki thi jo gaanv-dehat me ki jaati hai.

"Pagal hai ke? Aur tu toh keh rahi hai ke kheli khaai konya fer jadd lia he koni toh kis tariya bera?"

"Didi pyaar se ek dusre ko baahon me toh lia he hai. Mera pehla kiss he uske sath ab tak ki sabse anmol yaad ban chuka hai. Arjun pyaar ko jitni gehrai se samajhta hai utna toh shayad he koi samajhta hoga. Woh ehsaas karata hai ke aap uske liye kitne khaas ho, jis pal me aap uske sath ho. Hath chehre par bhi rakhta hai toh dhadkan khud he uska naam lene lagti hai. Kaise na pyaar ho us se jo aapki sabhi galtiya bhula kar bhi khud ko samarpit kar de? Pyaar ka ehsaas maine kia hai didi aur woh behad khaas aur shabdo me bata sakne jaisa bilkul nahi hai. Ab woh dur hai fir bhi aisa lagta hai jaise woh kareeb he ho.", Muskaan bister ke kinare jhoolti si apne dil ka haal bataye ja rahi thi aur dusri taraf teeno khamosh bas uski baat sunti apni he socho me sab mehsoos kar rahi thi. Muskaan ke hath se phone ka handla chhittak kar niche gir gaya jaise he 2 hatho ne uske paanv pakad kar apni taraf kheencha.

"tum? tum yaha kaise? Pagal ho kya jo din me he idhar aa gaye aur darwaja band hai.", Ghabrahat jald he hairani me badal chuki thi jab khud ko us insaan ki baahon me paya jisne usko pyaar ka ehsaas karaya tha.

"Khud he toh bataya tha ke ye pichla hissa sunsan rehta hai aur khidki ek taraf khiskane se he khul jaati hai. Mujhe toh laga tha ke tumhe khusi milegi mere aane se.", Arjun ke seene me dabi ab woh khud he gehri saans leti hui muskurane lagi.

"Seedhi dhoond he li tumne. Bata toh sakte he the ke aane wale ho. Dekho meri halat jara.", Muskaan ke chehre ki khushi shabdo me kehni sach me mushkil thi. Aur usko badhate hue Arjun ne un hilte laal hontho par apne honth rakh diye. 10 second ka he woh chumban bahot tha Muskaan ki aankhne band karne ke liye. Patli si baniyaan aur ek chhoti kasi nikkar pehne uska woh bedag jism poori tarah Arjun ke aagosh me tha.

"Stadium saadhe 4 jana tha aur ghar pe sab apne kaam me lage the. Kal naani ke ghar jana hai waha se parso aaunga aur uske baad agle din mujhe didi ke sath punjab jana hai subah jaldi aur agle din raat tak he ghar aa paunga. Jaane se pehle itna toh kar he sakta hu ki 2 baar tumse mil lu.", Muskaan ne itna sunn kar khud he uska chehra apne upar jhuka lia. Woh dheema chumban jald he uttejjan se bhara bann gaya. Arjun ke hath us patli si baniyan me chippe thos ubharo par aaye toh gardan jhatakti Muskaan ki ek tej siskari nikal gai.

"Aahhh.. Arjunnn.. ummm pyaar se baba.. sab tumhara he hai.. aahh.. in par mera bhi hath bas tumhari yaad me laga hai.. aahhh.. ", Gardan choomte hue Arjun ne dono amrit-kalash hatho me bharte hue jaise he kapde ke upar se ek nipple mooh me lia Muskaan ki taange uski kamar par lipat gai aur maadak awaaj kamre me goonj uthi.

"Dhire. Tum toh marwa he dogi.", Arjun ne chehra upar karte hue un madhosh aankho ko dekhte hue kaha.

"Jaan, sound proof hai aur corridor me mere ye aakhiri kamra he hai jisme koi rehta hai. Agle teen khali he hai.. Ummmm", Fir se Muskan usko upar kheenchti nagins si uske shirir se lipat gai.

"Sunn le tere bhai aur muskaan ki awaaj. Baawle he ho rakhe hai donu aur chhora toh ghanna he tej hai.", Phone ki line chalu thi aur Babita ke sath he baaki dono bhi sharam aur hairat me sab awaaje sunn rahi thi. Aur Muskaan ke kamre me jaise he usne apna upar bhaag ajaad karte hue Arjun ki goad me naram kulhe tikaye Arjun ne baahon me lete hue naa me gardan hila di.

"Kapde abhi nahi utarne. Mera dil tumse milne aur kuch samay bitane ka tha. Raat ki jagah main subah 3 baje aaunga aur fir 6 baje tak tumhare he sath khud he tumhari har khwahish poori karunga. Haan aise tum upar leti sakti ho.", Arjun Muskan ki kamar thaame hue he us naram gadde wale bed par chitt leit gaya. Hath us elastic wali nikkar se naram kulho ko dabane lage the. Muskaan bhi pyaar se uska chehra thaame chote chote chumban de rahi thi.

"Tum hath lagate ho toh main waise he wet ho jati hu. Pata nahi tumhara irada aur kya feel karwane ka hai. Waise bahot bure ho tum. Gande kahi ke khud poore kapde pehne ho aur meri haalat dekho. Aaahh.. kya karte ho waha se hath hataooo.. ummmmm.. aaaaaaaaahhh...", Naram ubhre he kulho dabate hue Arjun Muskaan ki pyaari baatein sunn bhi raha tha aur uska pyaar bhi mehsoos kar raha tha. Maje maje me haath jab geeli naram fanko se chuha toh ek ungli se woh thoda sa hissa sehla dia.

"Sach me he tum wet ho chuki, yahi dekh raha tha. Aur jo bhi karenge woh hum dono he karenge toh feel bhi sath he hone wala hai. Waise tumhe kabhi kisi ne ye nahi bataya ke tum jitni khoobsurat ho utna khoobsurat sharir aur ye dil hai.", Arjun ne baaye ubhar par hatheli tikate hue kaha toh Muskaan jor se lipat gai.

"Tumhare irade thik nahi lagte. Boobs par hath rakhte hue dil ki baat kar rahe ho. Isliye kehti ho ke gande ho bahot gande. Lekin pyaar bhi toh main tumse he karti ho. Dil bhi tumhara aur jo pakde lete ho woh bhi. Umaaahh.", Ek meetha chumban karti fir woh waisi he leit gai aur Arjun ab dono hath peeth par rakhe bas leta hua baatein karne laga tha. Udhar Babita ne bhi line kaat di thi.

"Dekhya. Donu kis hadd tak jude hai aapas me? Boobs, kissing aur paani chhodti muniya sehla gaya woh uski", Babita ki baat par Akshara ne jawaab dia.

"Jiji aapne suna ke dono dil se jude hai jo woh sharir milane ki jagah ek dusre ko kitna pyaar de rahe hai. Woh sirf uski khushi ke liye itna jhanjhatt karke kaise kamre me aa gaya. Aur sabse badi baat ki Muskaan hamare sath baat karte hue bhi usko dil se yaad kar rahi thi."

"Sach baat kahi tanne laado. Ya dor toh ghani majboot hai jo dikhe koni lekin bande donu hai. Ek baat toh bera paati ke woh pyaar karan ka hunar raakhe hai. Muskaan ne bhi bera hai ke donu byaah na kar sakte lekin pyaar toh nibha he sake hai.", Babita ki kameej se woh dono chuchak kahi jyada he ubhar kar khade the phone par sunaai di gai baaton se.

"Jiji, aapke toh ye tane hue hai.", Anupama ne ye baat aisi he kahi thi kyonki usko jaise is sabka gyaan he na tha.

"Tera khasam jab ragdega ko toh tere bhi daane bade ho jyange. Woh lagya toh Muskaan gail tha lekin bina photu ki picture toh humne bhi dekhi hai. Le iske bhi dekh le tu.", Babita ne furti se Akshara ka dheela kameej upar uthate hue woh safed angiya thodi neeche khiska di. Mutthi ke akaar ke dono gore ubharo bar laal chuchak kishmish ke daane se khade the aur Babita ki majboot giraft me jakdi Akshara sharam se simti khud ko chupa rahi thi lekin uske kapde thik karke Babita ne wahi bister par lita dia. Sharam se Akshara ne mooh dusri taraf ghumate hue kaha.

"Jiji, bahot gandi ho aap. Aise kaun karta hai bhala? Chiiii."

"Bebe, teri ya jodidaar sharir se badh gai lekin akal jara bhi koni. Eb meethi baat sunn ke sharir bhi toh chaske leve he hai. Bera ni Bijender jadd isne ragdega toh ya maje levegi ya dard me rovegi.", Anupama hamesha hairaan he ho jati thi.

"Mere sath aisa kyu nahi hua jiji? Iske toh mere se chotte hai lekin ghundi dekho kaise phuli hui thi.", Anupama ne jhijhakte hue apna dudhiya jism thoda beparda karte hue waise he bra tak kameej uthaya aur thodi mushkil se ek cup niche karti apni ek dabe hue sust se chuchak ko unke saamne kar dia. Anupama ke ubhaar Akshara se dogune the, kisi bade kinnu ke jaise lekin sharir jaise uttejjit nahi hua tha.

"Tu niri mandhbudhi hai. Dekh lo jiji isko tabhi kehti hu ke isme akal he nahi koi.", Akshara ne thodi himmat dikhate hue apni ungliyon se woh beparda ubhar sehlaya toh nipple halka kada hota hua ubharne laga. Anupama ne aankhen bheench li aur Akshara ne hath hata lia.

"Shabash. Matlab ya sirf tere hath lagaan se chaske le sake hai kyunki mera hath lagaan ka toh ispe farak na ho reha.", Babita ne bhi hath laga ke dekha tha aur woh nipple waise he raha, ardhviksit sa.

"Jiji ya kai baar raat ne mooh me bhar le hai mere.", Anupama ki baat par Akshara ne sar pe hath rakh lia aur fir chehra chupati uthne lagi.

"Datt.. Kade jaave hai tu meri lomdi? Matlab tu yu sab bhi kare hai iske sath?", Babita ne aankhen tarer kar kaha toh Akshara paanv ke anguthe se jamin kuredne lagi.

"Jiji hum donu toh raat ne katthi soya kara arr jadd bhi Akshara mere koli bharr ke chuchi choose hai toh ye aur bhi bade ho je hai. Ya bholi koni, is jagah bhi haath laga ke manne ganda karde hai. Shuru me toh aatcha koni laage karta lekin 3-4 saal se toh jis din ya mere sath koni sove manne neend koni aave.", Ye bomb fodd dia tha Anupama ne nasamjhi me.

"Ae tu thik toh hai bhaan? Tanne tere bebe gail chaske aave hai? Matlab teri machine kharaab toh koni? 2 chhoriyan aapas me yu koni kare hai.", Babita gambhirta se Akshara ko pooch bhi rahi thi aur samjha bhi rahi thi.

"Aisi baat ni hai jiji. Ek toh hum dono shuru se sath rahi hai isliye main iske sath khuli hu aur dusra jab college jaane lagi thi toh thoda bahot is sabke baare me pata laga tha. Samlingi nahi hu main lekin agar aapko yaad ho toh pehle ye kamjor bhi rehti thi aur chehra daano se bhara bhi tha. Mere aisa karne se ye ab thik rehti hai aur sharir dekh lo kaise bhar gaya hai. Kal ko byaah hoga toh kam se kam isko kuch akal toh aayegi. 8 class padhne ke baad ghar pe he baithi hai ye.", Babita ko samajh aa gaya tha ke Akshara aisa kyo karti hai.

"Fir tu kamjor kyu reh gai?"

"Main thik hu aur samajh hai thodi toh shaadi ke baad thik ho he jaungi.", Akshara ne itna kaha toh Babita ne usko seene se laga lia.

"Meri banno toh badi samajhdar hai. Aur tu ghodi ho gai tanne akal jama koni. Ye sab baat Bijender syaami na kariye nahi toh tera byaah koni hon diu.", Babita ne jhoothe gusse se Anupama ko daraya.

"Na jiji unke samne toh main waise he kuch na bolti. Jo marji kare woh mere sath lekin main kade bhi kuch na khaungi.", Dono uski baat sunn kar hansne lagi aur fir khud ko durust karti woh bahar logo ke liye chai-pani ka intjaam karne chal di.
.

Idhar hostel ke kamre me Muskaan sukoon se Arjun ki baahon me so rahi thi. Pyaar bhari baaton aur Arjun ke sehlane se woh kuch waqt pehle he so gai thi. Arjun ka dil tha ke aaj woh Muskaan ko aise hairaan karte hue kuch khushiyan de sake. Kuch dino se ye pyaari si ladki bhi andar se khokhli ho chuki thi aur Arjun jaise uska woh khalipan dur karna chahta tha. Ghadi me 4:20 ka samay dekh kar bade dhyaan se usne Muskaan ko takiye par sahi se rakhte hue woh bhoore rang ka naram khilona uske hath ke neeche rakh dia. Yehi uske akelepan ka dost Bruno tha. Gehri neend me soyi woh ab kahi jyada he masoom si lag rahi thi. Gaal ko choom kar Arjun ne AC ka taapman thoda kam karte hue safed chaadar kamar tak udhaa di. Jis raste woh aaya tha wahi se utar kar woh 5 minute baad hostel ke is pichle bhaag me jameen par khada tha. Seedhi wapis diwar ke sath lita kar woh aage paidal he chal dia.

"Bhai aaj pehli baar dekh raha hu ke kuch deri se aaye ho.", Stadium beshak paas he tha lekin fir bhi Arjun 10 minute deri se tha aur Balbir uska intjaar stand par karta mila.

"Bade bhai woh University me ek samaan pakdana tha toh bas wahi waqt lag gaya. Trial toh 5 baje hai na, itne sharir garma lete hai.", Arjun ki baat sunn kar Balbir hansta hua sath chal dai gym ki taraf. Kuch halki kasrat karte hue dono baatein kar rahe the.

"University ka security incharge Vikas bhai ki pehchan ka hai. Kabhi koi lafde wali baat ho toh behichak keh dena.", Balbir ne ye bataya toh Arjun muskurane lage.

"Woh incharge aur stadium wale apne Maniram ji bhai hai. Aur meri pehchan ab andar waalo se bhi thik-thak hai. Aapko kabhi jarurat ho toh mera naam he le lena. Vikas bhai ki jarurat jab padegi tab padegi.", Arjun teji se paanv aage piche karta hua kandhe bhi daye-baye hila raha tha.

"Waah bhai tu toh cheeta hai re. Ye kamaal kab kar lia tune?"

"Waise toh VC bhi mere uncle ke mitra hai lekin utne bade insaan ki jagah maine ye saamne dikhne walo se dosti karni thik samjhi. Maniram ji ne kuch din pehle savere 5 baje meri mulaqaat apne bhai se karwai thi aur unhone mera pass bana dia. Unke bhai ka naam Mahipal hai aur fir unki madad se ab mere pas library ka card bhi hai aur university ke club ka bhi. Ek tarah se apne sath waha ke surkshakarmi se lekar maali, librarian, canteen wala tak hai. Badle me unhone kuch manga nahi lekin aapko toh pata he hai ke insaan pyaar aur ijjatt milne par sath rehta hai. Aate jaate milta hu aur kuch kaam ki cheej seekh bhi leta hu.", Arjun ne kuch na chupaya aur pichle 8-10 din me jo bhi usne sambandh banaye the woh Balbir ke samne khol kar rakh diye.

"Badi pahuchi hui cheej nikla re tu toh. Main toh samjhta tha ke tu sharif ladka hai."

"Bhaiya lalach toh mere mann me koi hai he nahi. Meri didi padhti hai waha university me. Aur bataya na ke VC bhi mere uncle ke dost hai. Jitne logo ke baare me maine aapko bataya woh sabhi mehnati aur apne kaam ke prati imandar hai. Thandi hawa me andar jungle tak ghoom aata hu, maali bhaiya se thodi bagwani ki jankari le leta hu, Mahipal ji ka ghar hai udhar he toh unke chotte bacho ke liye kitabe la di tasveer wali kahaniyo ki. Sara sansaar he toh ek ghar hai fir kya mera aur kya aapka.", Arjun ne hanste hue kaha aur tshirt utaar ka dusri pehan li. Balbir ke sath he woh fir mukkebaji ke hall ki taraf chal dia. Dwar par he 3x4 ka chart laga tha jis par likha tha 'State Boxing Trial-Haryana' aur Arjun hairani se Balbir ko dekhne laga.

"Kya hua? Trial dene aaya hai toh yahi ho rahe hai."

"Bade bhai, Stadium Incharge ne toh kaha tha ke trial stadium ko represent karne ke liye hai. Yaha likha hai State Trial. Matlab yaha toh poore raajya se boxers trial dene aaye hue hai.", Balbir ne uska hath pakda aur andar chal dia.

"Tension mat le bhai teri category me 6 log hai. 2 match jeet aur tu pehle number pe aur ek bhi jeeta toh bhi qualify ho jayega. 3-3 minute ke 3 round honge aur abhi 5 se 6 ke beech andar ke teeno ring me Heavyweight ke he trial hai.", Ye wahi haal tha jaha national ke chhote match khele gaye the. Arjun Balbir ke sath he andar aaya toh takriban so-sawa so log toh in 3 ring ke aaju baju he the. Woh dono he shayad sabse aakhiri the jo yaha aaye the.

"Arre jawaan tumhare muqable ka waqt hai aur tum he gayab ho.", Sandhu ji ne aage badh kar Arjun ka hath thama toh unke sath he Stadkum incharge Mr Desai ko hairat se dekhne laga.

"Beta tum soch rahe hoge ki maine tumhe kaha tha Stadium represent karne ke liye aur yaha seedha inter-district ho rahe hai. Toh baat hum dono ki he sahi hai. Ye national stadium hai aur jab tumne kagaj sign kia toh tum yaha ke sadasya bann gaye. Main tumhe ek anubhav dena chahta hu kyonki mujhe Joginder bata chuka hai ke ye khel tum sirf ek simit samay ke liye khel rahe ho na ki isme apna career banane ke liye. Haryana ki kameej tum apni marji se pehan-na koi jaldi nahi hai. Bas ek baar khud ko parakh lo ki kya tum akele he daud kar first aa rahe ho ya fir bheed ko cheer kar.", Desai ji ki baat 16 aane sach thi. Arjun ne thoda bahot suna tha ke sirf boxing me unka stadium seedha district entry leta hai.

"Ji main tayaar hu aur ab baat khud ko parakhne ki hai toh peeche hatne ka samay ja chuka hai."

"Chalo bhai Joginder ji iski dress badalva do aur pehnao isko stadium ki jarsi. 5:20 pe iska muqabla aapke param mitra Katiyaar ke shagird se hai. Delhi ke ladke ko Faridabad se khila raha hai woh.", Desai ji ki baat sunn kar Joginder ji ke chehre par thodi pareshani aa gai.

"Chal puttar tu ye laal nikkar aur baniyan pehan ke idhar aaja fir head-guard khel se pehle lagata hu. Woh beech wale ring me tera mukabla hai 7 minute baad.", Arjun ko liye Balbir wahi ek andhere kone me aa gaya.

"Bhai jaldi se yahi badal le main samne khada hu.", Arjun hansta hua Balbir ki baat sunn kar kapde badalne laga. Waise bhi Balbir ka jism kaha uske pahaad se sharir ko chupa sakta tha. Gore tagde sharir par woh surkh laal baniyaan aur ghutno se halki upar tak ki nikkar Arjun ko aaj pehli baar dikha rahi thi uske khiladi wale swaroop me. Fir deri na karta woh bina idhar udhar kisi ko dekhe pehle ring ke barabar se hota hua is beech wale ke pas aa khada hua. Sandhu ji ne ek jhalak uske roop ko nihara aur stadium ke nishan wala neela-safed sticker uske dil se thoda upar baniyan par atche se chipka dia. Woh Dheeli baniyaan bhi uske 46 inch chaude seene par kasi hui thi.

"Apne pratidwandi ko dekhna chahte ho toh udhar dekh sakte ho.", Sandhu ji ne ring ke dusri taraf ishara kia toh Arjun ne gardan naa me hila di.

"Andar toh jana he hai guruji fir 5 minute jee bhar ke dekh lunga. Aap bas yahi rehna.", Abhi woh apni baat keh he raha tha ek aur pahaad sa vyakti uske saamne aa khada hua.

"Sanjay bhai aap?", Arjun kehte he Sanjay Sangwan se lipat gaya.

"Arre ruk ja chaand. Pata laga tera muqabla hai toh main aaj tera helper ban-ne ki itcha se aa gaya. 3 mukable hai tere aur pehle me main he tere column me rahunga.", Ye bahot badi baat thi kyonki Sanjay Sangwan ab mukkebaji me woh naam tha jo Vikas pehalwani me tha. Trial ke muakble me uska aana dikhata tha Joginder ji aur Arjun ke prati uska lagaav. Idhar Ring me ye adhed se refree ne steel ki seeti bajai toh mahol thoda shaant ho gaya. Arjun ke chehre par ye laal foam wala headguard lagate hue Sandhu ji ne mooh me safety bhi sahi se kar di.

"Jo dil kare woh kar. Koi pressure nahi lena.", Unhe bhi pata tha ke Arjun ka saamna jis se ho raha hai woh ek paripakva khiladi hai aur iska toh ye pehla trial he tha. Sanjay hath me toliya aur glucose wale thande pani ki bottle liye khada tha aur Arjun jhuk kar rassi ke beech se nikalta hua andar aa gaya.

"#### Stadium se Arjun Sharma ka mukabla hai Faridabad ke Satbir Khatana ke sath. Aap dono ko pehle he bata dia jata hai ke 2 baar niyam toddne par disqualify kar diye jayenge aur kamar se neeche kisi bhi surat me prahar ki sakht manahi hai. Ghanti bajne par aap dono he apne sthaan par chale jayenge aur khel ka fainsla 3 judge aap logo ke technical prahar ki ginti se karenge. Knockout ki samay seema 10 ki ginti tak rahegi. Aap dono ek dusre se hath milaye aur khel ko khel ki bhavna se he kheliyega.", Itni lambi chaudi jaankari dene ke baad jab refree ne dono ke dastane wale daaye hath ek dusre se bhidaye toh Satbir ne robile andaaj me Arjun ke hath ke upar he halka prahar karte hue gusse se nihara. 6 feet ka Satbir bhi ek balshali jism ka vyakti tha aur chehre par daadhi ke halke baal bata rahe the ke woh umar me bhi bada he tha.

'Tannn' ki awaaj se dono he kadmo ko ek andaaj me aage badhate ek dusre ki taraf chale aaye. Khatana jaise bhaap gaya tha ke Arjun ek nausikhiya aur anubhavheen hai isliye seedha uske chehre par prahar karne laga. Lekin 6-7 baar uske dono hath bekar he hawa me ghume. Arjun chehre ke sath seedha hath lagay ulte mukke ko saamne kia bas idhar se udhar badi chapalta se ja raha tha. Satbir ko jaise ye ummeed nahi thi ki is category ka mukkebaj aisi furti aur lachak bhi rakh sakta hai.

"Pasli me maar. Kaha samay kharaab kar raha hai.", Ye Katiyaar ki awaaj thi jo dedh minute me he kheej gaya tha aur iske sath he Satbir ne chalava dikhate hue pasli ka nishana karne ke baad dusre hath ko Arjun ke chere ki taraf teji se ghuma dia. Lekin dono hath Arjun ne kushalta se rokte hue ulte hath ka ek bharpoor waar Satbir ki seedhi taraf ki pasli me kar dia. Halke dard me woh turan he 3-4 kadam peeche hua aur dard jajb karta samaya kharaab karne laga.

"Dekh rahe ho ke ye ladka kya kar raha hai? Ye is muqable ko kahi jyada he gambhirta se le raha hai Sanjay.", Joginder ji dheemi awaaj me apne prasidh shishya se guftgu kar rahe the.

"Guru ji baat kuch aur hai. Arjun us ladke ki jagah Katiyaar ji se match khel raha hai.", Sanjay ki baat sunn kar pehli baar unke chehre par thodi ajeem si muskaan aa gai. Andar abhi bhi Arjun us anubhavi mukkebaj ko hataash kar raha tha. Round me 30 second pade the aur kisi saand ki tarah Satbir andhadhund mukke barsane laga lekin Arjun poori mustaidi aur raftaar se har war vifal karta usko poora moka de raha tha. 'Tannnn' ki awaaj se bhi woh nahi ruka toh Arjun ne he awaaj dete hue kaha jo thodi ajeeb tarah se nikli thi mooh me suraksha hone ki wajah se. 'Luk ja bhai . walning mil daygi.' aur hatash hota hua Satbir refree ke beech me aane ke baad peeche chal dia. Katiyaar usko jamane bhar ki shiksha deta gusse me woh safety geeli karte hue thoda paani pila raha tha. Arjun muskurata hua Sanjay ke hath se paani lekar garare karta sharir ko sehaj karne laga.

"Tum itna shaant rehne ke sath chaukas kaise ho sakte ho? Upar se lachak bahot jyada hai sharir me, size ke hisab se ye mumkin nahi hoti."

"Bhaiya sab mumkin hai. Aur aapne he sikhaya tha ke anjaan khiladi ke saath pehel round me sirf uska khel samjho. Mujhe aapka sabak hamesha yaad raha hai.", Sanjya ne uske mukke par halke se mukka marte hue kaha, "Knockout" aur 'tann-tann' ki awaaj se dusra round shuru ho gaya tha.

Satbir jitne vaig se Arjun ki taraf lapka tha utni he raftar se chehre par ek ke baad ek 6 mukke padne par hilta hua neeche gir gaya tha. Jhunjhlata hua woh khada hua toh is bar dono taraf se pasliyo aur chaati par 5 second me 10 mukke padd gaye the.

"Rok do rok do.", Refree ka hath pakadta woh ring me baitha Arjun ko mana kar raha tha maarne se. Chehre par itni suraksha ke bawjood gaal laal ho chuke the aur aankh aur naak ke beech se halka khoon ris raha tha. Arjun 4-5 feet dur khada bas dekh raha tha us insaan ko jo thodi der pehle pagal saand sa poora josh dikha raha.

"Pratibhagi ke match ke beech me he khel chhodne par match #### Stadium ke Arjun Sharma ke naam hota hai. Iske sath he aap apne bhaar-varg me antar-rajya ke liye qualify karte hai.", Refree ne itna kehte hue Arjun ka hath upar utha dia aur ab pehli baar uski najar saamne khade apne dada ji aur Col sahab par padi. Jo Mr Desai ke sath he khade is match ka najara jaane kab se le rahe the. Kuch aur log bhi the jo vishesh the aur shayad unke kareebi bhi. Sandhu ji ki jagah ring ke andar Sanjay he aaya.

"Arre mere bhai tu toh poora mukkebaj hai bina he match khele. Waah ladke dil khush kar dia baaki match ka jo bhi natija ho ye gajab gaya."

"Bhaiya woh Katiyaar ji na insaan atche nahi hai bas isliye main itna serious hua tha. Guruji ko jaise pareshan karna he unki aadat hai.", Sanjay bhi hansta hua usko sath liye bahar aane laga toh Joginder ji ne dono ko ring me rehne ka ishara kia. Vikas jaane kab aaya tha jo unke barabar khada ye photo lene laga un dono ki. Aur uske baad agli tasveer me dono ka sath Joginder ji aur refree sahab ne bhi dia.

"Atcha khelte ho beta. Ab agla mukabla 5:40 par hai tumhara. Good luck.", Refree mahodaya ne itna kaha aur peeth thapthapa di.

"Aap kab aaye?", Arjun apne dono dada ke gale lagte hue khush ho gaya. Unhone he baaki sabse apne paute ko milwaya aur fir jawaab dia.

"Hum toh kabse idhar he the lekin tu he jaane kaha tha."

"Uncle ji woh Arjun mere he sath abhyaas kar raha tha.", Balbir ne bhi paanv choone ke baad deri ki wajah batai aur Vikas bhi idhar unke sath shamil ho gaya.

"Agla muqabla khelega ya bas.?", Vikas ki baat par Arjun ki jagah jawaab is meethi si awaaj ne dia.

"Baaki ke dono khelne padenge isko aur har haal me.", Preeti glucose sudakti hui ek taraf se idhar he aati hui boli jiske sath he Manju, Chandni, Dimpi bhi thi.

"Dada ji aaj ye is bache ka kaam karwa ke he maanengi.", Vikas ne hans ke kaha toh Col sahab bhi sath he hansne lage.

"Beta atcha hai na gaal laal free me ho jayenge. Seb-badaam khaane ki jarurat he nahi.", Rameshwar ji ki baat par mahol thoda khushnuma ho gaya aur iske sath he Balbir ne chehtaya ke tayaar ho jaye kyonki pehle wale ring me muqabla hone wala hai. Arjun uske sath he udhar chal dia. Is baar paanv me ek mukkebaj wali chapalta ring ke bahar se he dikh rahi thi.

"Ye wala bhi atcha pratidwandi hai. Maine January me iska mukabla dekh hua hai chhote bhai aur iska khel dimag ke sath he stamina wala bhi hai. Bas araam se khelna hai.", Balbir samjhate hue usko tayaar karne laga aur ghanti ki awaaj ke sath he Arjun fir se andar ja chuka tha. Dusre ring me bhi ek aur muqabla shuru tha lekin is baar fir bheed is ring ke bahar aa chuki thi. Aupcharik baatein sunte samay Arjun ne apne pratidwandi ko dekh toh ye bhi uske barabar kad ka lekin thoda patla aur maaspeshiyo se bharpoor yuvak tha. Halki muooch aur kaali aankhen uska vyaktitva bata rahi thi.

"Arjun Sharma aur Hemant Rathod pehle he apne dono muqable jeet chuke hai. Agar ye muqabla dono me se koi bhi knock out se jeet jata hai toh woh pehle sthaan par qualifier khatam karega. Anko ke aadar par Hemat ko 5 aur Arjun ko 2 ank ke antar se match jeetna hoga pratham rehne ke liye.", Iske sath he kaanse ki ghanti par 'tann' ki awaaj se ye match bhi shuru ho gaya.

"Guru ji Rathod qualifier kyon khel raha hai? Ye toh pehle he Haryana champion hai.", Vikas ne khel me gambhirta dikhate hue sawaal kia aur andar dono khiladi ek dusre ki furti maap rahe the.

"Katiyaar ne idar 3 ladke utaare hai aur Hemant uske paas he prashikshan le raha hai Haryana jeetne ke baad se he. Paisa mukkebaj ko chahiye aur aise bane hue khiladi Katiyaar ko.", Rameshwar ji bhi thodi dilchaspi le rahe the in baaton me shamil hue bina he. Aur aisa he haal unke sath aaye ye 4 log jine se ek DIG Nirmal Singh the, saade kameej-pant me.

"Pandit ji ladke dono tej hai lekin saamne wala jyada anubhavi hai.", Nirmal Singh ji ki baat sahi thi abhi tak toh. Andar in 2 minute me Hemant 6 sahi war kar chuka tha Arjun ke 4 ke badle. Dono waar karne se pehle ek dusre ki suraksha bhedd rahe the. Aakhiri kshanno me ke karara mukka Arjun ke gaal par lagne ke sath round khatam hua toh Hemant turant apne shtaan par chala gaya. Dimaag shaant aur khel saaf tha is ladke ka.

"Bhai score dekh jara. Judge ka toh pata nahi lekin match ke hisab se 5-8 hai filhal.", Balbir ne Arjun ke chehre ko geele toliye se saaf karne ke baad thoda paani pilaya aur fir se gaurd sahi se laga diye. Arjun bas sar hilata sharir ko halka kholne laga tha. 2 ghanti bajte he match aage badh gaya. Dono he ek baar fir ek dusre ke khel ko aajmate hue koshish kar rahe the pratidwandi ko thakane ki. Hemant ek punch maarne ke baad ab thoda tej ho gaya tha. Paanv bijli se aage peeche karta woh Arjun ke sharir ke dono taraf se waar karne me laga tha lekin ab jaise Arjun uski he raftaar ke sath mel karta har mukke ko apne se dur rakhne laga tha.

"Upper cut laga jab side nahi lag rahe.", Hemant khel me 10-6 se aage tha lekin fir bhi Katiyaar gusse me chillata hua usko jaldi khel khatam karne ke liye uksa raha tha. Aur yahi par Hemant ne jaldbaji me seedha haath neeche se upar laat hue Arjun ki thuddi ko nishana bana dia. Parinaam viprit rahe aur khamiyaje me Hemant ke toote suraksha kawach se chehre par tabadtod ghusse barsata Arjun usko Katiyaar ke pas he kone me fasaye dheela karne laga.

"Stop.", Hemant ne hosh sambhalte hue Arjun ko bahon me bhar lia toh Refree ne dono ko ek dusre se prithak kar dia. Chehre ka haal itni her der badal gaya tha Hemant ka aur iske sath he 2 ghanti bajte he round khatam ho gaya.

"Woh ek kamjor khiladi hai Hemant. Tum pata nahi kaisa khel khel rahe ho jo 2 round laga diye. Is qualifier me maine sirf Joginder ko uski aukaat dikhane ke liye tumhe shamil kia tha lekin lagta hai tum kuch aur he vichar banaye baithe ho. Sarkari naukri lagwa dunga agle saal tak tumhari.", Katiyaar ne apna daav khela aur fir us ladke ko durust karta hua guard pehnane laga. Dusri taraf Balbir bhi wahi kar raha tha.

"Mamla abhi tak thik hai chhote bhai. 14-11 tumhare hath me khel hai. Badhat banaye rakhna kyonki ab woh mauka nahi dene wala.", Arjun ne hath bhidate hue salaah ka maan rakha aur kadam hilata hua teesri ghanti ke sath he Hemant ke saamne aa khada hua. Balbir ne sach kaha tha. Jo furti aur teji ekdum se Hemant ne dikhai thi woh Arjun ne pehle 2 round me nahi dekhi thi. Badi dakhsta se woh Arjun ki pasli me 2 war aur ek mukka gaal par jama gaya tha. Is baar wala punch bhi atcha khasa tha jis par Arjun halke se dard ko mehsoos karke muskura utha tha.

"Sala pagal hai ye ladka Dubey. Maar khane par hans raha hai.", Katiyaar aakhiri round ki wajah se neeche apne PA se baat kar raha tha. Ghadi dikha rahi thi ki khel me ek minute he baki reh gaya hai aur ab baari hairaan hone ki Hemant ki thi. Kaan se pehle jo punch laga toh ek pal ke liye aankho ke samne andhera chaa gaya tha. Arjun ki raftar is waqt waisi thi jaisi kit par abhyaas ke waqt Balbir ne dekhi thi. Na kadam Hemant ko samajh aa rahe the aur na kamar ke upar ka lehrata hissa. Chaati, kaakh, pasliya aur chehre par ek khaas andaaj me mukke lagne par ladkhada kar woh ring ke kone me jhool gaya. Arjun ne aage koi waar na karte hue jaise uth kar sambhalne ka poora mauka dia lekin woh ghanti bajne ke baad he dono hatho se chehra sambhalta saamne khade Arjun ko dekh pa raha tha.

"Bahot he atcha khelte ho dost. Mere jaisa he khel hai lekin shayad raftaar kahi jyada aur furti bhi kamaal ki hai.", Hemant ne khud he guard utaarne ke baad Arjun se hath milte hue gale laga lia.

"Bhai tumhara khel bahot he saaf hai aur utna he khoobsurat. Mere he sath khelte toh pakka hum dono ek dusre ki madad kar sakte the.", Arjun ne bhi apna ek dastana utaar kar Hemant ka hath thaam lia tha. Refree ne anko ke aadhar par Arjun ko vijay ghoshit kia. Mukabla 23-15 se woh jeeta tha lekin usne Vikas bhai ko keh kar ek tasvir Hemant ke sath he khichwai thi. Halke khoon ke bawjood Hemant muskura raha tha.

Katiyaar waha se ek baar fir bina kuch kahe bahar nikal chuka tha lekin Nirmal Singh ji ne Hemant ko apne pas bula lia tha.

"Atcha khelte ho beta. Padhai karte ho khelne ke sath?"

"Ji uncle BA second year ke imtihaan diye. Waise toh is baar National me pehle he main jaa chuka hu January me inter-district jeetne ke baad lekin coach sahab ne jabardasti yaha utaar dia."

"Ye mera card rakho aur abse tumhari padhai ke sath khel ki jimmewari bhi hamari rahegi. 10 May se tum Haryana Police ki taraf coaching loge.", Hemant ki aankhon se aansu he nikal aaye the itni badi baat sunn kar.

"Beta tum layak ho aur mehnati bhi. Ye DIG sahab hai aur jaisa kehte hai waisa he karna. Madhuban Police Acadamy me tumhara naam darj karwane ke baad aage bata dia jayega. Somwar ko inhe phone karke samay le lena.", Rameshwar ji ne uski peeth thapkate hue shabashi di

"Waise khel toh Arjun jeeta hai. Ye sab aap usko de toh behtar rahega.", Hemant ka dil sachmuch bada he tha.

"Woh school jata hai aur ye khel bas sardi shuru hone tak he ye khelega. Itne National khela ya practice kare iski marji hai. Boxing tumhari zindagi hai aur tumhe is raste par he chalna chahiye. Ek saal baad padhai poore hote he tum Police me naukari karoge.", Rameshwar ji ne jaise he Arjun ka poora parichaya dia toh woh bhi dang reh gaya ke jis ladke ke sath woh khel raha tha woh 3 saal chhota hai.

"Katiyaar apne teesre ladke ko le kar chala gaya toh ab Arjun ko agla matcha nahi khelna.", Sanjay Sangwan ne itna kaha toh sabhi muskurate hue bahar chal diye. Hemant bhi khush tha lekin uski taraf dekh kar Col sahab ne sawaal kia.

"Kaise wapis jaoge? Tum apne coach ke sath he aaye the aur woh toh chale gaye.", Hemant sach me sochne par majbur ho gaya kyonki uska bag bhi Katiyaar ki gaadi me he tha.

"Ji mera bag bhi unke he sath chala gaya."

"Chalo main tumhe bhijwa deta hu. Aaj he sarkari gaadi me baith jao bhai.", Nirmal Singh ji ke sath he 4 policewale judd gaye the aur woh Hemant ko liye nikal chale Pandit ji se vida le kar.

"Barkhurdar aaj tumne hamara swabhimaan aur badha dia hai. Dekh kar atcha laga ke tum har kaam ke liye pratibadh ho aur halke me nahi lete. Joginder beta pata nahi kaise lekin tumne is ladke par atcha kaam kia hai.", Rameshwar ji ki baat par Sandhu ji ne hath he jodd diye.

"Pandit ji maine toh aaj tak isko sirf bahari starr ka prashikshan dia hai. Mukkebaji ka pratidwandi ke sath abhyaas toh agle mahine shuru hone wala tha. Baaki ye ladka hai jo Arjun ke dil se mehnat karta hai.", Balbir ka hath pakad kar unhone samne kia toh woh bhi hath jodd ke khada ho gaya.

"Balbir bhaiya ne he is match me meri poori sahayta ki hai dadaji. Guruji toh hamesha he credit lene se inkaar karte hai aur inke sath Balbir bhaiya bhi waisa he karenge lekin jo bhi seekha hai woh Coach sir ne sikhaya aur Balbir bhaiya ne mere se dugni mehant karke mera sath dia hai.", Arjun ne bhi apni dil ki baat kehne me waqt na lagaya.

"Vikas beta, Balbir ko leke tehravi ke din gaanv me he milna. Ab ijajat leta hu bhai hamara vyaktigat samay ho raha hai duniya se alag baithne ka. Kyo Satish bhai."

"Chalo bhai sahab. Aur tum dono bhi baitho gaadi me.", Unhone Preeti aur Manju se aisa kaha toh Preeti narajgi se apne daadu ko dekhne lagi.

"Dadaji main chalti hu aapke sath aur Preeti Arjun ke sath aa jayegi. Usne Model Town se samaan lena hai.", Manju Preeti ka haht dabati hui khud un dono ke sath chali gai aur baaki sab ne turant in dono se duri bana li Vikas ke ek ishare par.

"Oh toh khel aise chal raha hai aajkal.", Arjun Preeti ko dekh kar muskuraya aur fir ek minute wahi rukne ka bol kar Sandhu ji ke pas daud laga di.

"Ye wapis karni thi guru ji.", Apni khel wali poshak ke baare me unhe batate hue woh baniyaan utarne laga toh woh muskura diye.

"Pehne rakho woh tumne kamai hai.", Arjun unke paanv choo kar fir se Preeti ki taraf chala aaya toh usne bhi ghar tak waise he jaane ko kaha.

"Pagal ho. Ye baniyaan pehan kar sadak par."

"Chupchap chalo. Main dikhana chahti hu mere boyfriend ka sexy look.", Preeti ki baat sunn kar woh apna bag usko pakda ke chaabi ghuamta stand ki taraf chal dia. Aisi he pyaar ki dor toh thi Arjun ke jiwan me jo usko har waqt kisi na kisi roop me sambhale rakhti thi. Kabhi kareeb reh kar toh kabhi dur se. Pyaar ke sath.
