Update 226
Maksad aur Wajah (2)
"Shankar main chalu.?", Ye Bhuppi he tha jisne 10 feet chardiwari ke beech utni he unchaai wala lohe ka darwaja kholte Shankar ki taraf badhte hue kaha. Sangwan ji rumaal se apna chehra paunchte hue paidal he us khamosh sadak par tehal rahe the jaise wo bhi aaj koyi hastshep na chahte ho. Shankar ne bas na me gardan hila kar Bhuppi ko jawaab diya aur uske baaye kandhe par thapki deta hua darwaja khol kar andar aujhal ho gaya. Bhuppi ne bhi wo badi saankal dobara us buland dwar par jadd di. Hospital ki imaarat ke liye neev bhari ja chuki thi aur mitti dabane ke liye aaj waha paani chhodne ke baad ab koyi majdoor mistry maujood na tha. Bahar Bhupinder ki peshani par bhi paseena ubhar aaya tha kyonki ek taraf uska dost akela bhitar gaya tha aur dusri taraf gaadi me pichli seat par baithi Kaushalya shishe se us darwaje ko he dekhe ja rahi thi. Unke chehre par ajeeb si udaasi aur dard tha jo Bhuppi sehan na karte hue ek baar fir car ka darwaja khol unse baat karne gaadi me aa baitha.
"Maa ji, Shankar ke baare me koyi alag raaye mat banaiyega. Wo jajbaati hai, kabhi kabhaar thoda gussa bhi ho jata hai agar baat galat ho lekin insaan khara sona hai maa ji. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki wo aapko yaha sath liye aayega nahi toh...", Kaushalya ji ne sar ko aahista se hilate hue jaise Bhuppi ki kahi har baat par sehmati di aur uske sar ko sehlane ke baad gaal par hath rakhti hui kehne lagi.
"Main jaanti hu bete ki tumhe apne bhai samaan is dost ki kitni fikar rehti hai aur main kabhi sawaal nahi karti tumse ya Shankar se ki tum chikitsak ho kar bhi kya kya karte firte ho. Dharamvir bhai sahab ne toh tumse apna karya poori nishtha se karne ki saugandh dilwayi thi lekin tum log jaise us saugandh ko hospital aur mareejo ke bahar tak maan baithe. Shankar yaha bhi toh ilaaj he karne ke liye aaya hai aur mujhe bhi laya hai kyonki main bhi toh taklif me hu. Samajh sakti hu main bhi ki kayi baar tum logo ko niyam aur hidayato ke bahar nikal kar bhi kaam karna padta hai. Bas tum jaise jiwan ki raksha karne walo ko main katghare me khada hua nahi dekhna chahti, kisi ke jiwan haran ke iljaam me. Jiwan bhar ka joda hua naam ye duniya hatyara pukaar pukaar kar chheen legi chahe tumne kisi daanav ka sanhaar us samaaj ki bhalaai ke liye he kiya ho.", Mamtamayi sparsh aur ye gehri baatein sunn kar Bhuppi bhi sachhai se inkaar na kar saka lekin wo chintit tha toh sirf Kaushalya ji ke prati.
"Maa ji, bau ji kanoon ke samarthak aur usme aastha rakhne wale insaan hai jinhe har naya vardidhari apna aadarsh maanta hai. Aap unhi ki dharampatni hai toh ye na-insaafi nahi hogi? Jaanta hu Shankar aapko sabse pyara hai aur wo bhi duniya me agar sabse jyada kisi se moh rakhta hai aur har baat maanta hai wo aap he hai. Ekmat aap he uske liye sabkuch hai parantu aaj meri galti aur Shankar ki hatthta se aap beech majhdaar me hai agar baat kahi bhi 19-21 hoti hai. Bas meri kaamna yahi hai ki aapka basaya hua aashiyana is kalank se prabhavit na hone paaye.", Ab kahi Kaushalya ji ke chehre par feeki si muskaan ubhar aayi.
"Ye poora jiwan mera majhdaaro me he gujra hai bete. Pehli ladki thi tab samaaj aur pariwar ke beech. Fir byahta hui toh pati aur sasur ke beech aur maa ban ne ke baad pati aur bacho ke beech. Isko majhdaar ki bajaye hum kendra kahe toh jyada uchit hoga. Tum ye soch kar pareshan ho ki tumhare bau ji ko iski bhanak lagne par kya hoga toh iska jawaab ye hai beta ki patni-dharam sarvopari. Mere liye mere pati he sabkuch hai lekin aulaad ko apne pallu se bahar bhi nahi karungi. Tum kisi aur bhi wajah se chintit ho na isliye Shankar ko rok rahe the.?", Kaushalya ji ka ye kehna ki agar baat chunaav ki aayi toh wo apne pati ka sath dengi lekin aulaad ko bhi apne saaye me le kar, Bhuppi ko khamosh he kar gayi. Lekin agla sawaal jo unhone poocha tha uska jawaab dete na ban paya Bhuppi se.
"Aaj.. Aaj bhitar maamla alag hai maa ji lekin jitne bhi log andar kamre me band hai wo sabhi aapke aur Shankar ke doshi hai. Pata nahi aaj wo beech raste me na ruk jaaye koyi rishta dekh kar.", Ab in paheliyon se Kaushalya ja ka bhi dil bhaari hone laga tha lekin itna toh jaanti thi ki unke bhai ka hatyara koyi kareebi he hoga.
"Banne.. Banwari jo mama tha na Shankar ka usne byaah isliye nahi kiya tha 35 tak kyonki wo Shankar ko he apni aulaad aur sabkuch maanta tha. Tum toh mile he hoge uske mama se college aur baad me bhi? Shankar ka pehla dost, uska humsaya aur sabkuch Banne he tha jiwan ki shuruaat me. Inder, Ajju, Umed, tum sab bhale he uske sabse eham bhai ho par Shankar ke liye pehli khoobsurat yaadein sirf apne dost jaise us mama ki he hai jiske qaatil bhitar band hai. Uski aankh me abhi jo paani hai na Bhupinder beta, wo gusse aur dard se bhara hai. Aise me wo rishtey toh dekhne he nahi wala, yaad kaha rehte hai wo sab usko jab Shankar ka dard us par haavi ho jaaye.? Chandaal kehte hai tumhae bauji usko aur duniya shayad kasaai.", Ye prasidh naam sunn kar Bhuppi bhi palat kar seat par seedha ho gaya. Ab mahol kuch behtar tha yaha bahar lekin chardiwari ke andar bina plastar ke us bade haalnuma kamre me aisa kuch nahi tha jaha ek taraf cement ke sainkdo katte kataar me lage the aur aage ke khaali hisse me 3 kursiyon par hath aur mooh bandhe 3 log us shaksh ko dekh rahe the jo tej dhoop ke beech darwaje par khada inhe ghoor raha tha.
'Khatt' ye awaaj do baar goonji is lambe galiyare se kamre me jaha ab taar par latakte 2 bulb roshan the aur darwaja ek bar fir se band. Ghupp andhere se bhare is thande kamre me ab bahutayat roshni thi 100-100 watt ke bulb se. Chamde ke shaandar joote chalne par koyi awaaj na karte lekin jisne wo pehne hue toh uske krodh ki dhwani jaise in teeno ke dil me tufaan uthane lagi. Ek ek karke Shankar ne un teeno ke he mooh se kapda hata diya.
"Pehle toh sirf tum he mera shikaar the Patwari lekin phir is Harnaam ka bhi jikar utha toh main samajh gaya ki peeth me chhura bhonkne wala koyi kareebi he hoga. Lekin dekho is sab me main ye bhool baitha ki hamare he ghar ka bhedi tum logo se mila hoga. Kyun Naresh kya kehna chahoge? Tumhare 3-3 bache hai, maa-baap ki jimmedari uthane ke badle Bablu se 10 lakh jyada bhi tumhare he hisse aaye aur tum he apne baap samaan chacha ke hatyaro ke sath ho?", Is awaaj me aaj pehli baar kanpann thi jo vyakti Naresh ke sar ke baal mutthi me jakde uska chehra upar uthata hua uski aatma dekhne ki koshish karta laga. Darr ke maare Naresh ke toh kanth se dard ki bhi awaaj na nikli, jawaab toh dur ki baat thi. Haan itni samay se thandak bhare is kamre me band hone ke bawjood uske chehre par paseena footne laga tha.
"Arree.. tu kameene doctor.. behanchod tu marega.. Tu jaanta na hai meri pahoch aur taqat.. Kabar khudwa dunga teri main bhosdike haraami..", Dono ke beech baitha ye fufkaarta machalta 50-55 baras ka aadmi Patwari he tha jiski bhadaas aur gaaliyan sunn kar ek sard aur kutil muskaan deta Shankar uske chehre par chehra jhukata dhire se bola.
"Jo chodna badhiya jaanta ho usko khodna nahi sikhate Patwari. Aur tu toh meri chudaai aur khudaai dono se waakif hai be lahsan. Chudaai teri bahu ki tabiyat se ki thi aur khudaai teri jama poonji ki jo tu apni hote hue bhi apni na bata paya tha. Wo samay aur tha bhootni ke jab tu bach gaya. Ab na mahol aur shauk badal chuke hai mere. Jhaant se aankh tak ek cheere me sab khol dunga aur dil dimaag nikaal ke aisa ghotunga ki dimaag ki haalat na dil samjhega aur na dil ki baat dimaag se gujregi. Par meri maa ne keha hai ke jisko bhi maaru uske hath khol ke maaru. Maa ki baat na taalta main nahi toh karne toh wahi ja raha tha jo abhi maine bola. Harnaam hath khol ke maaru ya tu iski haalat dekh ke khudkhushi karega?", Shankar ne wo rassi gaanth se kholne ki bajaye ek jordaar laat me kursi tehas nehas karte hue Patwari ko dhool sungha di thi. Wo bhari bharkam sharir cement reta se mishrit bhoomi par dhamm se gira toh ek baar ke liye utna hissa he dhool gubaar me bhar gaya. Darr ke maare Naresh kisi bache jaise cheekha tha aur Harnaam bhi khudko girne se na rok paya. Dhili hui rassi se apna jism nikaal kar chehra saaf karta Patwari us dhool ke gubaar se bahar he nikla tha ki us tagde hath ne majbooti se uski gardan par shikanja banate hue dobara jameen par de mara. Ab wo bhi cheekha.
"Aaahhhh.. Betttiii..choooddd.."
"Batana tha pehle Patwari ke teri beti ka khasam bhi nakara nikla. Par aaj main sirf jaan lene ke mood me hu, choot teri barsi ke baad tere ghar me ghus ke lunga. Teri kasam patwari.", Aur is baar bhi ek jordaar mushti prahaar jab Patwari ke jabde par pada toh saamne ke aadha darjan daant uske he mooh me bikhar gaye. Dard se jaise wo kuch pal ke liye hosh he kho baitha tha aur itne samay me Shankar ne baaki dono ke bandhan bhi khol diye. Shankar abhi palat kar waha kaune me rakhe aujaaro ki taraf he badh raha tha ki uske paanvo par dono hath lapete Naresh jameen par he lot gaya.
"Bhaiya.. Shankar bhaiya main apni bitiya ki saugandh khata hu ki mera Banne chacha ki maut se koyi lena dena nahi hai.. Bahot badi galatfehmi hui hai aapko aur aapke logo ko bhaiya.. Main toh sehar me mehnat karke apne 3-3 bacho aur biwi ko paalta hu.. Gaanv aaye toh mahino ho jaate hai bhaiya aur is patwari se toh meri koyi pehchaan bhi nahi.. mujhe matt maaro bhaiya..", Foot foot kar rauna kya hota hai ye yaha spasht tha is pal me jaha ye 30 paar ka vyakti apne he bhai ke kadmo me lipta guhar laga raha tha apne jiwan ki. Shankar ne ek najar pehle diwar se tek lagaye baithe Harnaam ko dekha jo kurte ki jeb se pump nikaale apne fefdo me saans bharne me laga tha aur fir Patwari ki taraf jo jameen pe lete hue he mooh jhuka kar apne toote daanto ko jameen par ugalta dikha.
"3 baar ek he saptaah me tum is Harnaam ki dehleej paar karte dekhe gaye ho Naresh. Tumhe toh bhale se pata tha ki mere liye Banne mama ke maayne kya the. Phir bhi tum inka sath dete rahe aur aaj rote bilakhte hue jaan ki duhaai de rahe ho? Mujhe khed hoga tumhare bacho ke liye lekin main unhe kisi kisam ki pareshani nahi hone dunga."
"Is Harnaam ne Gauri (behan) ke sath jabardasti ki thi bhaiya aur ... aur main bas apni behan ki zindagi bachane ki khatir jameen ke badle mile paiso se iska mooh band kar raha tha. 3 din main gaya hu iske ghar lekin teeno baar basta bhar kar paise dene gaya tha jaise aaj bhi 10 lakh diye Gauri ke sath iske kukarm ka saboot lene ke evaj me.", Ab jaise yaha maut sa sannatta chhaa gaya Naresh ke mukh se nikle is vibhats sach ko sunn kar. Shankar angaare se jalti apni aankhon se dare sehme Harnaam ko ghoor raha tha jiske chehre par bhaav badle aur ek jordaar tankaar ke sath Patwari ne wo lohe ka sariya ghumaya. Tann ki awaaj us sariye ke takraane se hui thi lekin uska jhelne wala Shankar nahi balki hath jodd kar utha Naresh tha.
"Teri maa ki...huhhhhh..", Patwari ke hath me jhoolta wo ek inchi sariya kab uski he gardab par aa daba wo is baar Patwari he na dekh saka. Dhai mann jism ka patwari wo taaqat na jhel paya jo Shanakr ne lagaai thi. Sarakta khisakta hua wo diwar se chipka tha aur shanaye shanaye us motte sariye par Shankar ka baahubal badhta gaya. Chehre par nasse ubal kar fatne wali thi aur mooh cheekhne ke liye toote daant dikhata hua hadd tak khul gaya. Gol sariye me toh koyi dhaar na thi lekin dono taraf se usko dabati wo bhujaayen kitni shaktishali hongi iska pata is baat se he chalta tha ki naad ki majja tootne ki awaaj ke baad Patwari ke aankhon se bhi khoon ubal kar chehre par risne laga. Aur ek aakhir hunkaar bharte Shankar ne jo taaqat lagaai ki sariya peeche diwar se ja bhida. Patwari ki aankhon ki putliyan chehre se bahar latak chuki thi aur agle he pal uska chehra kate nariyal sa dharti par aa gira. Gardan se uchalta lahu Shankar ke chehre ko tarr kar gaya tha aur wo ab palta us dusre mujrim ki aur jo langdata hua darwaje ki taraf bhag raha tha.
"Aahhhhh.. uparwale..", Niche padi kursi hawa me lehraati hui jab Harnaam ke sar ki pichle hisse aur peeth se takraai toh wo bhi jism na sambhal paya aur lohe ke darwaje ko kholne se pehle wo khud he ja takraya. Niche ardhmurchhit pada Naresh dard me tadap raha tha sar par gehri chot aur behte rakt ki wajah se lekin Shankar ka dhyaan toh us shaitaan par tha jo uske bade mama ka sabse kareebi aur ghanisth dost hone ke bawjood uski he bitiya sang jabardasti kar gaya.
"Tujhe 2 baar kaise maaro haraam ke jane? Nahi nahi.. tujh jaise haraami janwar ko toh 100 baar bhi maarna kam hoga. Tujhe kaka bulati hai Gauri aur teri he bitiya se wo ladka rakhi bandhwata raha barso. Ruk.. bhosdike.. kamjor sharif ladki ki ijatt se khel kar tu mere he pariwar ko lootega aur koyi kuch nahi karega... Teri toh..", Aaspas dekhne par jab kuch najar na aaya toh Shankar ne us kursi ka paya he todd kar utha liya. Harnaam ke chuttado par 2 baar jordaar prahaar karke usne wo dhoti utaar kar ek taraf uchaal di. Niche Harnaam puri tarah se nirvastra tha aur umar ke chhate dashak me aane par dhile kulhe Shankar ki aankhon ke aage. Ek laat se dono kulho ki faanke prithak karte hue usne wo kaath ki lakdi ka chokor paya Harnaam ki guda par daba diya. Ab wahi paanv cheekhte chillate Harnaam ke jabdo ko dharti se chipkaye tha aur chokor mota kursi ka paya naram gosth ko kaat-ta faadta hua uske pichwade me dhansta gaya. Karnbhedi cheekhein beasar thi is kasaai ke aage jisne Harnaam ke jism ko keema banane ka thaan liya tha. Ab kulho ke beeche se fata hua maans aur behta khoon batane laga ki kaath ka tukda 8-10 inch bhitar dans chuka hai.
"Hilne ki taqat toh nahi bachi tujhme lekin dekh jinda maut kaise milti hai.", Harnaam ko lachaar karke Shankar ne uski he dhoti ko pehle Naresh ke sar par kas ke lapeta aur fir aage kone me khadi wo cement bajri ka masala banane wali machine ko board me laga kar chalu kar diya. Uski kshamta jaanchne ke liye wahi kareeb padi Patwari ki mundi us machine ke bade gol mooh me uchhaali toh jaldi he kad-kad ki awaaj se khopdi ka choora ho chuka tha. Harnaam ye drishya adhkhuli aankhon se dekh sadme me ja pahucha par uska jism rigad raha tha. Pichwade me khoonte ki tarah gada kursi ka paya aur ek taang ko pakde usko khinch kar le jata Shankar. Dono me se jyada dard kaun de raha tha ye toh manzil par pahuchne par he pata lagne wale tha. Aur jald he gala faad ke cheekhte Harnaam ka jism cement bajri milane wali machine ke mooh me fenk Shankar uske sar ko niche dabane laga. Ye aisa he tha jaise gaajar ka ras nikalne wali machine par juicewala gaajaro ko niche dabata hai. Yaha bhi gaajri rang ka ras jaise chukandan mila ho, wo machine ke dusre hisse se behne laga tha. Kitni he der tak haad, maans ki pisaai chalti rahi aur ab waha koyi cheekh pukaar ki awaaj nahi thi. Dhime dhime kadam leta wo pehle Naresh ke kareeb aaya jo kuch had tak aankhein kholne aur bolne me saksham tha. Baah apne kandhe par ghuma kar wo sahara dete hue is rakt ki mehak bhare kamre se bahar nikla toh tej dhoop kuch had tak kam ho chuki thi. Diwar ke sahare Naresh ko khada karke Shankar jameen me bani khuli tanki ke thande paani se apna chehra dhone ke baad raktanjit safed kameej utaar kar usko lighter se agni dikha kar jalaane laga.
"Chatt se gir gaye the tum yaha jab kaam dekhne aaye toh. Saboot mil gaye the na tumhe jiske liye paisa diye ja rahe the?", Shankar apni he dhu dhu kar jalti kameej ko hawa me latkaye Naresh se pooch raha tha. Thande paani ne chehre se rakt saaf kiya toh Shankar ko saaf chehra dekh Naresh ne dard me bhi haami bhari. Shankar ka nirvastra dhadd is waqt apni purn kshmata par nikhra aur har manspeshi ka kataav dikhata hua bilkul kisi jungle ke furtile bade sher sa tha. Wo kameej ab raakh ban chuki thi jiska aakhiri hissa jameen par safed se syaah hone laga. Tanki kinaare he chaukdi lagaye Shankar apni patloon ki jeb se cigratte nikaal kuch gehre kash lagane ke baad uth kar ek bar fir se Naresh ko sahara deta hua is jagah se bahar ki taraf nikal chala. Ganimat thi ki Naresh ke sar jyada chotil na hua aur wo sahara le kar chalne me saksham tha.
"Ganimat toh hai murkhadhiraaj? Bhaashan dete samay jo ujli kameej thi, wo kisi dwand ke baad kahi fenk aaye kya?", Ye darwaje ke bahar inka swagat karne ke liye Bhuppi ki bajaye swayam Rameshwar ji upasthit the aur unse kuch he duri par kaali contessa car me driver taraf ka shisha niche utaare Lakshman urf Lucky Arora baitha dikhai pada Shankar ko. Pita ke saamne nirvastra dhad aur ek jakhmi bhai ko sambhale ab Shankar bagle jhaank raha tha. Lucky ki bagal wali seat se ab tak ek anjaan chehra yaha aa chuka tha jo Rameshwar ji ke ishare par Naresh ko savdhani se usi gaadi me pichli seat par laad yaha se nikal gaya.
"Wo yaha bas maa ko dikhane laya tha papa aur andar Naresh pehle se tha jiska.."
"Jiska paanv fisal gaya hoga chhat se aur sar par chot aa gayi. Dekha maine uske sar par bandha vastra lekin wo burshat nahi thi barkhurdar. Jaante ho Shankar jab Dharampal ji ne apna aadmi Patwari ko livaane bheja toh wo pehle se he meri pakad me tha. Mujhe ye bhi pata tha ki Harnaam bhi utna he bada doshi hai jis par Umed ne apna pehredar lagaya hua tha. Haan Naresh jarur is sabke beech apvaad tha bete aur uski sachhaai sunn kar maine is bar apne kadam peeche le liye. Tumhari peeda aur prem ke chalte na maine kuch dekha aur na main jaanta hu kuch. Retired aadmi hu na bete aur shaam dhale baithna apni biwi ke saamne he hai jaha insaaf ke muddo par aksar kanoon ghar se bahar aur nyaye uske hisaab se hota hai. Aainda aisa nahi hoga agar tumne apna sarvshresth bhi dene ki koshish ki tab bhi nahi.", Rameshwar ji ne toh laad dular ke baad Shankar ko purn nirvastra he kar diya tha sab maamla uske saamne rakhte hue lekin na koyi sawaal kiya tha unhone aur na apni itchha jataai koyi. Bas khamoshi se wo Dharampal ji ki gaadi me pichli seat par apni biwi ka hath thaam kar baith gaye, jinki aankhon me 2 boond aansu the aur apne pati ke liye dher sara sammaan.
"Shankar beta gaadi chalao, Bhuppi ko lene wapis laut aana.", chakachak safed kameej Shankar ki taraf badhate hue Sangwan ji ne jab ye kaha toh gaadi ka shisha niche utarte hue jawab Rameshwar ji ne diya.
"Bhai sahab ye paidal he aayega ghar tak. Iske nana aur mama ki jameen toh isne bahot dekh li lekin kachi sadke bhi jara pata lagne do kaise rahgiro par dhool udaati hai. Fir karega apne kisi mama se shikayat toh yaha taarcoal bichhega 4-6 baras me. Paidal chalna sehat ke liye atcha hota hai doctor sahab.", Shankar samajh gaya tha ki ab paidal chalne me he bhalaai hai aur uske saamne he wo gaadi dhool udaati hui uske mama ke ghar ki taraf nikal chali. Angdaai leta Shankar dono hath sar ke peeche tikata bas thandi aah bharta reh gaya.
"Agli baar tujhe maa bhi nahi bachane wali aur aise beech sunsaan me main bhi nahi lene aane wala agar aisi murkhta karta rahega. Pata nahi baapu ke aaj kya hua jo apni jeeti jitaai baaji ki aakhiri chaal tere hawaale kar alag ho gaye. Sab sahi tha jitna mujhe pata laga lekin jab wo Gauri wali baat chhidi toh papa ne mann badal liya Shankar.", Khuli jeep jo kabhi Banwari mama ki hoti thi wo liye diwar ki aut se Inder yaha aaya toh Shankar ko chain mila lekin usne jo bataya wo sunn kar apne pita ke prati dil me sammaan charam par ja pahucha.
"Gauri ka jikar nahi hota toh main shayad Naresh ko bhi maar deta Inder."
"Tabhi toh tujhme aur papa me jameen aasman ka farak hai bhai. Wo wajah aur maksad ke beech ka antar samajhte hai aur har choti badi baat par vichar karne ke baad bhi fainsla tab tak nahi lete jab tak har pehlu, saboot aur dosh na mil jaaye. Tu jajbaat aur parinaam wala aadmi hai bhai. Ek sar kata toh kunba he mita dega aur baat behan beti ki hui toh pal bhar me ek samajhdar shikshit pariwarik jimmedar insaan. Waise itna bhi khaas nahi hai tu lekin ab mera bhai hai toh thoda toh banta he hai. Waise Guddu keh rahi thi ki shaam hote hote sab uske shehar he chalenge. Apne hotel me maa ka janamdin mana kar aur khana vana kha ke wo aur jija nikal lenge. Aaj sharaab na peeni hume, yaad rakhiyo.", Shankar ka mood kaise thik karna hai ye Narinder ko atche se pata tha aur tareef ke sath thodi meethi beijjatti karta hua wo apne bhai ko bagal wali seat par baithaye usi kache raaste par dhimi raftar me jeep chalata geet gungunane laga.
'Ek chatur naar badi hoshiyaar... mere mann ke dwaar wo ghusat jaat.. hum marat jaat arre hey hey hey.. meri bholi naar badi hoshiyaar.. baapu ke saamne bhigat jaat haaye bhigat jaat haye .. Oh bhole .. oh bhole... tere din khatam hue re.. khatam hue..'
.
.
"Toh aapka din waisa nahi raha jaisa soch ke nikle the? Waise baat toh hui hogi bhabhi se aapki?", Baithak me video game television par joddne ke baad dono bhai farsh par he diwaan se tek lagaye baith chuke the. Sanjiv abhi ghar lauta tha aur Arjun bhi kuch he waqt pehle aane ke baad thodi kasrat karke ab nikkar baniyaan pehne unke sath tha.
"Din toh bahot sahi tha lekin dopehar hote hote aadhe raste he wapis aana pada. Haan Radhika aur daadi se baat hui thi meri dopehar me he. Wo log savere he lautenge jitna pata laga. Dopehar me maine yaha ghar bhi phone kiya tha lekin tum kisi ko bhi bata kar nahi gaye aaj.", Sanjiv game shuru karte he aage badh raha tha Arjun thik uske peeche. Madhuri yaha dono ke liye rooh-afja wala thanda doodh rakh kar khaane ka pooch wapis chali gayi. Bhookh dono ko he nahi thi aur baatein jaise kaun pehle shuru kare is injtaar me. Khel ko ek baar beech me rok kar Arjun ne baithak ke dono taraf wale darjwaje band kiye aur wapis apni jagah par aa baitha.
"Main bhi sabke bahar jaane se kuch samay pehle he nikal gaya tha bhaiya. Ghar aane ke baad kisi se milne he nahi gaya tha isliye ghar me akele rehne se thik wahi karna laga. Raat ko aap keh rahe the ki koyi badi duvidha hai. Hua kya samadhaan?", Sanjiv bhi apne bhai ke aadhe adhure jawaab se sehmat nahi tha aur abhi wo apne masle par bhi baat karne me jijhak raha tha.
"Haan wo utni badi baat nahi thi bas main he jyada soch raha tha uske baare me. Toh Dharampal uncle ke bete ke sath ghooma fira ya Taneja ki bitiya ke sath? Suna hai Taneja aur uski biwi ne mil kar ek aur business shuru kiya hai. ATIF. Akansha Taneja Interiors and Furnishing. Solanki aur Taneja sehmati se alag alag ho gaye hai hafte pehle. Aur Sandeep.. wo subah dikhai diya tha mujhe jab main ghar se nikal raha tha. Solanki ke ghar ki taraf se he aa raha tha wo.", Sanjiv bhaiya Arjun ko aise ishaare de rahe the jinke baare me usko kuch bhi maloom nahi tha. Aur wo hairaan bhi hua ki Akanksha aur Purvi ke pitaon ne apna sanjha vyapaar alag kar liya tha. Ghar lautne ke baad wo Akanksha se toh mil he nahi paya tha lekin usko Sandeep ka Purvi ki taraf chakkar kaatna samajh jarur aaya.
"Pehle toh main Shastri dada ji ki taraf gaya tha bhaiya kyonki Himani ko mujhse baat karni thi aur uske mama maami se bhi milna ho gaya. Dada ji kisi meeting me busy the toh maine unhe disturb nahi kiya. Waha se main thoda samay badi market me apne dost Sudhir se milne chala gaya aur wapis aate hue Walia aunty ji ke ghar unka haalchal lene chala gaya. Aapke aane se ghanta pehle he aaya tha main udhar se, khana kha kar. Waise Ajeet Solanki jab sudhar gaya toh Taneja ne business kyun alag kiya? Aur ye aisi baat aapse kaun kar raha tha.?", Sanjiv ko ab Arjun ke poore din ki jaankari mil chuki thi kyonki jis hisaab se usne vivran diya tha wo sabhi log samay khaau toh the he.
"Solanki bigda he kab tha chhote, bas ayaash tha kabhi jo ab sambhal gaya hoga teri sangat me apni beti dekh kar. Aaj main kachehari gaya hua tha tab wahi dono se mulakaat hui thi meri. Khush the dono aur wajah bhi badhiya bataai business alag alag karne ki. Solanki poori tarah se thekedari ka dhanda shuru kar raha hai aur Taneja ka toh tujhe bata he diya. Waise tu Sushma Taneja ko kitna jaanta hai?", Ye naam he toh tha Akanksha ki maa ka aur Sanjiv dwara spasht naam lene par Arjun ne bhi waisa he jawaab diya.
"Atchi aurat hai wo aur padhi likhi hone ke sath ghar sambhalne ke kaabil bhi. Mujhse bahot atcha vyavahaar hai unka aur baaki aisa he Solanki aunty ka bhi hai, balki wo toh mera dhyaan bete se bhi jyada rakhti hai. Kyun kuch baat hai kya bhaiya unko le kar?"
"Crime branch me ek file aayi hui thi chhote jisme baaki sab toh thik tha lekin 50 panno ke beech ek jagah par Sushma Taneja ka jikar tha doubtful category me. Bahot badi baat nahi hai naam aana kyonki vyapari log hai aur badi badi meetings me bade logo se bhi milna julna rehta hai aise logo ka. Chahe khud wo utne bade naam nahi hai lekin har naam ek samay chota he hota hai. Information file thi wo bas aur case study ke liye mere paas hai. Madad karega meri chhote?", Sanjiv ne jaise naaptol kar baat kahi jisme wo Sushma Taneja ko kahi bhi doshi ya galat nahi dikha raha tha lekin fir bhi madad ki baat bolna Arjun ko ek baar toh uljha he gaya.
"Ye kaisa maamla hai bhaiya aur aapko toh kam se kam ye nahi kehna chahiye. Madad log anjaan ya bahar walo se maangte hai. Main toh aapki chhaya me bada hua hu aur aapko toh aadesh karna chahiye.", Arjun ki baat par Sanjiv ne game rok kar pehle uske sar par hath firaya aur fir thode naram lehje me baat shuru ki.
"Dekh chhote ye maamla thoda naajuk hai aur maine 2 logo ki bajaye sirf ek ka he jikar kiya hai jinhe tu jaanta hai. Madad isliye kyunki dusra insaan is ghar ke sath juda hone ke sath sath tere jiwan me bhi bahot eham sthaan rakhta hai. Vivaan Puri, Preeti ke papa jinhe 2 hafte pehle Sushma Taneja ki taraf se 10 lakh ki rakam jama ki gayi. Aur baat sirf yahi hoti toh main andekha bhi kar deta lekin aisa har saal hota aaya hai aur Preeti ke papa ne apni taraf is len-den ko financial help dikhaya hai aur wo Ameriki naagrik hai jis se unse koyi poochtach bhi nahi ki ja sakti aur dekha jaaye toh Sushma Taneja bhi bulwaye jaane par isko pariwarik bata sakti hai. Filhaal wo is business se pehle Solanki aur Taneja ki firm me kahi bhi kisi sthaan par niyukt nahi rahi. 10 lakh choti rakam nahi hoti Arjun aur wo bhi har saal bhijwana.", Arjun ka bhi gala sookh gaya jabki usne abhi abhi thanda doodh khatam kiya tha.
"Aunty ko aap arrest bhi kar sakte hai kya agar baat badi hui toh?"
"Bewkoof maine tujhse ye kab kaha ki wo doshi hai? Kuch logo ke bade bade len-den par najar rakhi ja rahi thi chhote kyonki bahot se log galat kaamo me paisa bhej rahe hai. Ye report unki thi jo ya toh utne ameer nahi hai ya inke paas koyi kaam dhanda nahi hote hue bhi 5 lakh se adhik ka ek musht kahi bhugtaan kiya gaya ho. Wo file sirf aakhiri 3 mahino ki hai lekin maine jab Sushma Taneja ki poori jaanch karwaayi toh usme jyadatar 5 anko me he paisa rehta hai aur kuch niyamit saavadhi me jama kiya jata hai. 5 he baar pichle 5 baras me 10 lakh ek he vyakti ko bheje gaye jo ki tera hone wala sasur aur vyvahaar me mera bhi chacha lagta hai. Is maamle ki gambhirta samajh rahe ho tum chhote bhai? Ye bhale he mere case se sarokaar nahi rakhta lekin agar ye kisi tarah ka gehra khel hai toh maamla kabhi bhi bigad sakta hai.", Arjun ab jarur sakte me aa chuka tha kyonki pehle jaha Sanjiv bhaiya us se madad maang rahe the ab unhone ye sara maamla kahi aur ghuma diya.
"Agar us report se Sushma aunty ka koyi lena dena nahi hai aur Vivaan uncle ne ye paisa aarthik madad ke hissab se dikhaya hai toh mamla kaha gadbad hua? Haan andruni gadbad jarur hai isme jaise ye paise kisi aur taraf ishara karte ho lekin maine toh ye suna tha ki Sushma aunty kabhi Vivaan uncle ke rakhi baandhti rahi hai."
"Kyonki.. kyonki Shankar chacha ne Vivaan uncle ke ek eham file department se kuch samay pehle hatwaai hai. Main tab honeymoon par tha lekin mehkame me kuch baatein pata chal he jaati hai. Main jo soch raha hu kaash waisa kuch na ho Arjun aur agar waisa kuch nikla toh phir main teri hone wali biwi jisko main bhi apne bache jaisa samajhta hu, us se maafi maangne laayak nahi rahunga. Aaj pehle he din aisa lag raha hai jaise main ajeeb se janjaal me fansa mehsoos kar raha hu aur yaha apne thaanedar ji ka anusaran karu toh farz nibhana sahi hai aur sanvedanao par jau toh lagta hai ki paapi kehlaunga. Kya ho agar Vivaan uncle waha baith kar koyi bada he khel khel rahe ho? Agar baat sirf Sushma ji tak simit hui toh tum sambhal lena apne hisaab se lekin unke sath kuch galat hone alawa kuch aur bhi saamne aaya toh main..", Sanjiv se aage kuch kaha he nahi gaya kyonki ye maamla he aisa naajuk tha jisme 'kaash' agar 'saabit' ho jata toh Col Puri ke ghar me tufaan aa sakta tha. Aur wo insaan Rameshwar ji ke liye kya maayne rakhta tha ye baat dono bhai bhali bhaanti jaante the.
"Waise thik toh Vivaan uncle aur Romela aunty ke beech bhi kuch nahi hai bhaiya. Unki shaadi bhi beech majhdaar me latki hui hai. Renuka bua pehle he pati kho chuki aur Col dada ji jaise taise khud he ghar ko sambhale hai jisme Preeti unke sath rahi hai. Kya ek mauka nahi diya ja sakta Vivaan uncle ko agar unka jurm utna bada na hua toh?"
"Agar aise case jaanch me jyada nikal aaye toh samman jarur jaari hoga. Wo wahi reh kar is se bach sakte hai lekin yaha par Col dada ji tak baat jarur aayegi aur unki jiwan bhar ki kamaai ijatt par kalank lag sakta hai. Hamara kanoon aur iski prakriya bahot jatil hai Arjun. Dosh bete ka ho aur wo na mile toh poore pariwar ko he apradhiyon ki tarah dekha jata hai. Aur yahi koyi bahot bade paise ka khel hua jiska prayog amanviya karyo me ho raha ho toh samjho beda garak. Pehli baat maine yahi toh bataai thi ki kuch logo par najar rakhne ke chalte he aisa kiya gaya hai. Hawala, nagad, sone-heere ya jameen tak se bhugtaan ho rahe hai. Aur kuch log hai bhi nishaane par lekin file gayab hona aur uske baad Sushma ji ka naam saamne aana mujhe bechain kar raha hai bhai. Aakhir kya wajah rahi hogi itne paise ke peeche? Aur wo file kis maamle se judi thi jisko IG Kapoor ne he chacha ke hawale karke Vivaan chacha ka naam tak kahi aane na diya.? Chal thoda bahar chalte hai bhai aur raat main ghar nahi aane wala, dekh liyo jara. Subah hone se pehle jarur laut aaunga.", Arjun bhi video game ke remote television ke niche rakhta hua baniyan ke upar he tshirt pehan uth khada hua.
"Kal toh hume Punjab bhi jana hai bhaiya didi ko unke sasural chhodne. Main akela nahi jaane wala unke waha aur fir mujhe meri Rani bhi wapis leke aani hai."
"Jaanta hu chhote isliye toh raat ko overtime karne wala hu. Aur tu wapis toh mere sath aane nahi wala isliye Lucky ko bhi sath le chalunga.", Sanjiv ne baithak se bahar aate he scooter ko stand se utara aur wahi aangan me Saroj bhabhi se baat karti Madhuri aur Komal ko dekh Arjun ko poochne ka ishara diya agar ghar ka koyi samaan le kar aana ho. Dono ne he inkaar kiya aur scooter bahar nikalte samay Arjun ne jarur Saroj bhabhi ki taraf se mile us mook ishare ko dekha jo koyi aamantran sa laga. Din dhal chuka tha aur kuch he samay me khaane ki tayaari hone wali thi.

"Tumhe ye ghar yaad aata hoga na Rupali? Aayega bhi kyun nahi jab tum yahi paida hui aur pali badhi.", Bade aangan me jaha aas pados ke mahilaye Kaushalya ji aur unki bahuon se milne aayi hui thi, wahi jyadatar ladkiyan Madhu aur Narinder ji ke sath khet dekhne nikal gayi thi. Bahar khule me gaanv ke kuch bade bujurg Rameshwar ji ke sath salah mashwara kar rahe the aur Shankar logo ki sehat jaanchne ke sath unhe dawa salaah dene me vyast raha. Rajkumar ji bhi Col sahab ke sath waha ki mandali me he baithe the lekin in sabse alag aur najro se dur Ritu aur Rupali ghar ki khuli chhat par doobte suraj ke baad ki laali dekhti hui apni he baatchit me lagi thi.
"Idhar ka kuch yaad rakhne ki wajah he kaha bachi Ritu? Haan mere baapu ji he the yaha jinke sath subah savere main dhero baatein karti aur apne sapno ke baare me batati rehti. Raat gujarne ke baad subah unki chai roti banana mujhe pasand tha lekin Sushila taai.. Tumhare toh wo naani-daadi he lagti ek hisaab se, unke yaha ja kar saaf safaai karni padti. Padhne baithti nahi thi ki koyi na koyi kaam bata deti wo mujhe. Maa ki shakal yaad nahi thi isliye unhe badi maa kehti thi lekin wo toh dur ki rishteydar kehlane tak ke kaabil nahi thi. Dasvi ka natija aaya toh baapu ji bahot khush hue the lekin agle din Sushila taai ne mere lambe baal kandhe tak katwa kar mera ghar se nikalna he band karwa diya. Baapu ji tau ji aur taai ka bada sammaan karte the aur taai ne jab khari khoti suna kar mujhe shehar padhaane ki itchha par eitraaj jataya toh main bahot royi lekin maine dobara is baare me kabhi baat nahi uthaai.", Ritu itne samay se Rupali ke sath reh rahi thi aur dono hum umar bhi thi lekin ye sach jaan kar usko apne par he gussa aane laga.
"Papa se baat nahi kari thi kya tumhare bapu ji ne? Dono kaafi kareeb the hamesha he."
"Unhe dekh kar he toh baapu ji mujhe doctor banana chahte the lekin yaha gaanv me agar ek he ghar ke beech diwar ban jaaye toh iska bahot galat arth nikala jata hai. Papa aate rehte the yaha aur hamesha mere liye koyi na koyi kitaab lete aate. Jis din baapu ji gujre toh taai ke ghar me chulha foonkte hue meri kitaab ka wo aakhiri panna bhi unki bahu ne chule me jhonk diya tha. 2 saal se toh maine ro ro kar jaise taise aansu sukhaye the apne aur baapu ji ke jaate he main meri kismat par ek baar fir rone lagi. Us samay bas main khud ko anaath samajh rahi thi jiski aane wali zindagi Sushila taai ke ghar me jhadu pauncha karne me gujarne wali thi. Bhool gayi thi ki Papa ne hamesha he mujhko laado, bitiya aur mera bacha keh ke bulaya. Jab aap apne jiwan ki sabse badi wajah kho dete ho tab gujra waqt bhi kaal sa dobara laut aata hai Ritu. Aur main toh ajaad he kaha ho paayi thi taai se. Tum shuru se ek padhe likhe aur apno ki kadar karne walo ke beech pali badhi toh aisa tumhare sath nahi hua hoga lekin jaanti hu ki tum insaan ka dukh dard atche se samajhti ho.", Ritu uski bagal me hath daale un naarangi baadalo ko neela hote dekh ek feeki hansi se apna bhi bataane lagi.
"Tum ek atchi beti aur samajhdar ladki hone ke sath dabaav sehne me saksham rahi ho Rupali. Ateet ka kaal roop me saamne lautna koyi bada ehsaas nahi. Ek bada dukh apne sath purane dard le kar he aayega lekin zindagi tab bhi dono taraf ka awasar deti hai. Dukh ke daabav me marna hai ya apne jiwan ke liye bagawat karni hai. Main koyi aasman se utari pari nahi hu lekin tumne thik kaha ki mera jiwan us samay me tumse kahi behtar raha. Par ye yaad rakhna ki ab ateet me jaane ki tumhare paas koyi wajah nahi hai jaisa tumne khud kaha tha. Ab tum Dr Shankar Sharma aur Rekha Sharma ki beti ho aur wahi pehchaan ab jiwan bhar sath rehne wali hai. Aur dukh dard kaha nahi hote? Khushiyan unke bina adhuri he rehti hai.", Doordarshita bhari baatein sunn kar aakhir Rupali ne bhi pooch he liya.
"Tum toh aise bol rahi ho jaise mere se aadhe dukh toh tumne bhi jhele hai? Daadi se shikayat laga dungi agar tumne haami bhari toh.", Rupali ke kehne ka tarika he itna khushnuma tha ki Ritu bhi muskuraye bina na reh saki.
"Hahaha.. wo toh khud ek aisi majboot diwar hai jo sabke dukh bina unhe pata lage khud par le leti hai aur kabhi shikayat bhi nahi karti. Unke aaspas bhi pahuch paayi toh ganimat samjho."
"Tum dukh kyun lena chahti ho jab sab thik chal raha hai?", Rupali ke aisa kehne par Ritu aankhein badi karke hairat se dekhne lagi.
"Oh paagal mera matlab unke jitni majboot bann ne se hai. Dukh mile dushmano ko mere aur tere hisse ke. Kuch bhi bolti hai. Sahi me tum na jara bhi duniyadari wali ladki nahi ho. Tabhi wo Sushila taai tumhare sath itna kuch kar paayi. Main hoti tumhari jagah toh chulhe me uska he sar daal kar aag laga deti agar wo mere aur mere papa ke beech dakhal deti aur itna kaam leti taane sunati hui. Jab aap galat nahi ho aur koyi aapke sath ek seema se adhik galat kare toh virodh nahi karna bhi aapko barabar doshi banata hai Rupali rani."
"Atcha apna sabse bada dukh batao agar tum mujhe dil se apni behan maanti ho toh.", Rupali ne anyaas he sawaal pooch dala tha aur uske sath jo baat jodd di thi usko Ritu jhutla bhi nahi saki.
"Aaru ka hum sabse dur jana wo bhi poore 8 saal ke liye. Jaanti ho maine gusse me us se poore ek saal baat bhi nahi ki thi wapis aane ke baad. Pyaar aur gussa bhi ek he sikke ke do pehlu hai.", Ritu uthne lagi thi gehrate aasman aur baaton ka rukh galat disha me jaate rakh aur idhar Rupali ne ye ek aur baat keh di.
"Kal ko agar Arjun dobara tumse dur chala gaya toh kya ye dukh dobara ateet se laut aayega tumhari zindagi me? Pata nahi kyun par mujhe na tum dono kabhi toh ek jaise lagte ho aur kabhi ek he sikke ke do pehlu."
"Dono he maamlo me rahenge toh sath he Rupali. Chahe sukh dukh wala sikka samajh lo ya ek jaise dikhaai padte aapas me jude hue. Maine kaha tha na ki main parivartan ke paksh me nahi balki parivartan karne me yakeen rakhti hu. Samay jab tumhare mutaabik na chale toh tum he samay ko palat do. Dukh jarur hoga thoda lekin uske baad shikayat nahi hogi. Daadi bula rahi hai sabki aur ab hume chalna hoga. Hotel bhi apna hai aur party bhi sirf humari hone wali hai waha. Waise yaha main fir aana chahungi kabhi..."
"Arjun yaha ek baar bhi nahi aaya waise aur aaj toh itne badhiya awsar bhi wo wahi reh gaya."
"Maine bulaya he nahi tha usko nahi toh aa jata. Jitna wo naye logo aur nayi jagah se dur rahe ye uske liye atcha he hoga.", Ritu apni daadi ko niche aane ke liye hath hilati hui saleti-kaali seedhiyon ki taraf badhne lagi aur Rupali uski baat ke peeche ki wajah na samajhti hui apna sar khujati ek baar mudd kar is khuli chhat ko aakiri baar dekh Ritu ke peeche he nikal chali. Ye pariwar ab Madhu ke sasural wale shehar jaane lage the jaha Narinder ne pehle he phone karke intjaam karwa liye the aur udhar Sanjiv aur Arjun ghar laut rahe tha jaha se khaane ke baad Sanjiv apni ek alag tehkikaat ke liye nikalne wala tha aur Arjun aaj ghar me 3-3 premikaon ke saamipya me fasne wala tha, shayad 4 bhi ho sakti thi.
