Aaiye phir se ek nazar dalte hain raat ki sari ghatna par.....akhir raat me vaishali aur baki sab ke sath hua kya tha ?
Ab Aage.........
Raat me jab uss buddhe ne sabko sone ko kaha tha to uske baad sabhi ek kamre me dubakkar baith gaye the, din bhar ki thakaan ki vajah se unhe neend bhi jaldi hi aa gayi, magar conductor ko bidi peene ki adat thi, to vah buddhe ke mana karne ke baavjud bhi bahar chala gaya.
Uske jate hi buddhe ne jaldi se ghar ka darwaja band kar diya jisse vo andar na sake warna sara bhed khul sakta tha yaha ka.
Conductor ke jane ke kuch der baad hi vaishali ki neend khul gayi, use bahut joro se peshab lagi huyi thi, magar buddhe ne aadhi raat ke baad ghar se bahar na nikalne ka bol kar pahle hi sab ko dara diya tha, aise me vaishali ki bhi bahar jane ki himmat nahi ho rahi thi.
Kuch samay tak to vah khud par control karti rahi magar peshab bhi bhala kabhi bina moote control ho sakti hai ? yahi haal vaishali ka bhi ho raha tha...jab bardast karna mushkil ho gaya to usne janhavi aur disha ko uthana chaha lekin vo dono gahri neend me thi isliye sun kar bhi dono ne ansuna kar diya.
Vaishali ko lag raha tha ki kahi salwar me hi uska moot na nikal jaye, dono ke na uthne par akhir vo khud hi uthi darte darte mobile ke torch ki roshni me darwaje ke paas tak pahuch gayi.
Hamaare gaon me ek kahawat hai ki “Hagga Na Darta Baggha Ko.” Matlab ki agar aap ko bahut jor se tatti ya peshab lagi ho to phir tab tak kisi ka darr nahi lagta jab tak ki aapka pet khali na ho jaye, beshak uss jagah par kisi baagh ka khatra kyon na mandra raha ho..ye alag baat hai ki tatti ya peshab se free hone ke baad unke dil dimag par vahi darr dubara haavi hone lagta hai.
Aisa hi kuch vaishali ke sath bhi tha, vah darte darte darwaja kholne hi wali thi ki tabhi use aabhas hua ki vah to pahle se hi khula hua hai, sirf usko tikaya bhar gaya hai...ye dekh kar vo soch me pad gayi lekin peshab lagi hone ke kaaran usne jyada soch vichar nahi kiya aur bahar nikal gayi aur thoda aage ja kar salwar khol kar mootne baith gayi...
Abhi vo moot hi rahi thi ki tabhi uske kaano me kisi ke dhire dhire baat karne ki awaz sunayi padi, awaz vahi kahi aas paas se hi aa rahi thi aur kuch kuch jani pahchani si malum ho rahi thi, ye ehsaas hote hi uske kaan khade ho gaye.
Ek to raat ka sannata, upar se jungle ki ye khaufnak jagah,,uske andar darr ek baar phir se apna ghar karne lag gaya...usme bhi uss buddhe ki baato ne iss darr ko badhane me aag me ghee dalne jaisa kaam kiya tha.
Usne jaldi se apna mootna khatam kiya aur salwar pahan kar tezi se ghar ke bhitar jaane ko palti par tabhi uske kaano me vahi chir parichit awaz sunayi padi to uski jigyasa badh gayi ye soch kar ki vo koun hai ?
Vaishali (mann me)—awaz to kuch suni huyi lag rahi hai, sab to andar hi hain phir yaha koun bahar aaya hai itni raat me aur kisse iss tarah dhire dhire chhup kar baate kar raha hai ? jabki taau ne to sabko bola tha ki koi bahar mat nikalna phir koun ho sakta hai ? darwaja bhi to band nahi tha..ek baar chhup kar ke se dekhti hu..
Vaishali apni jigyasa ko rok nahi saki aur ahista ahista awaz aa rahi disha me apne kadam badha diye..dabe paon chalte huye jab vo unke kuch karib pahuch gayi to khadi hokar unki baate sunne ka prayas karne lagi.
Halanki andhera hone ki vajah se unka chehra to nazar nahi aa raha tha kintu raat ke sannate me unki awaz jarur sunayi pad rahi thi.
“aisa laga jaise ki abhi abhi koi torch jala raha ho ?” kisi ne kaha.
“hamara hi koi admi hoga...sab itna ghabraye huye hain ki unme se kisi ki bahar aane ki himmat nahi hogi.” Jani pahchan awaz sunayi padi.
“abhi aur kitna time lagega ?” unme se kisi ek ne kaha.
“bas kuch der aur..sabhi achchi tarah se so jaye.” Dusre ne jawab diya.
“kafi log hain aur maaldar bhi lag rahe hain.” Kisi teesre ki awaz aayi.
“tabhi to main koi risk nahi lena chahta...agar thodi bhi laparwahi huyi to hamara sara plan fail ho sakta hai..isliye to main sabke gahri neend me sone ka intazar kar raha hu...vaise to sab bahut dare huye hain lekin unme se ek ladka aisa hai jo thoda tedha lag raha hai, uski ankho me mujhe jara bhi darr dikhayi nahi diya...upar se vo conductor bhi yahi kahi bahar aaya hua hai bidi peene bhosdika...pata nahi kaha mar gaya ?” vahi jani pahchani awaz wale shakhs ne kaha.
“theek hai..jaise hi kaam ho jaye to signal dena..tab tak hum yahi intazar karte hain...aur haan, uss conductor ki tension mat lo..use hamare admiyo ne pakad liya hai aur jaise hi hamara kaam hua, vaise hi uska kaam bhi tamaam ho jayega.” Pahle wale shakhs ne kaha.
“achcha, ab main chalta hu.” Dusre ne kaha.
Unki baate sun kar vaishali hairan ho gayi, itna to vah samajh hi gayi ki vo jo bhi log the, vo hamare baare me hi baat kar rahe the...tabhi vaha kisi ne torch jalayi...aur uss torch ki roshni me jaise hi vaishali ne uska chehra dekha to vah chounk gayi.
Vaishali (shocked, mann me)—ohh my god...itna bada dhokha ! ye to vahi buddha hai jisne hame rukne ke liye apne ghar me jagah di hai...ye log jarur hamare baare me hi baat kar rahe hain, jarur inka koi bahut bada shadyantra hai..mujhe turant sabko batana hoga iske pahle ki der ho jaye.
Ye soch kar vaishali jaldbazi me jane ke liye palti hi thi ki uska dupatta vaha ki kisi kantili jhadi me phans gaya..usko nikaalne ke liye vaishali ne jor se dupatte ko kheencha jisse vo jhadi jor se hil uthi...vaishali tezi se vaha se ghar ke andar ki taraf bhagi.
Apne aas paas iss ahat ko mahsoos karte hi vo sabhi turant alert ho gaye aur phir ek sath hi kayi torch jal uthi.
“jarur yaha koi hai..dekho jara.’ Pahle wale shakhs ne kaha.
“vo dekho..vo ladki bhag rahi hai” ek ki nazar padte hi usne ishara karte huye kaha.
Buddha—jaldi pakdo use..lagta hai ki usne hamari sab baate sun li hain..
Sunte hi kuch admi tezi se vaishali ko pakadne ke liye daude...daudte huye vaishali ka pair achanak kisi gaddhe me pada aur vah niche gir gayi..vah uth kar phir se bhagti ki itne me unn logo ne use pakad liya...lihaza vah jor se chilla uthi...
Yahi vah pahli cheekh thi jise andar sabne suna tha aur jiske chalte sabki neend khul gayi thi... magar neend se achanak uthne ke kaaran vo vaishali ki awaz ko pahchan nahi sake the.
Vah isse aage chilla bhi nahi payi kyonki ek admi ne turant rumaal se uska munh daba liya jisme ki chloroform laga hua tha....jiske chalte vah kuch hi der me behoshi ki halat me chali gayi.
Buddha—main jaldi se andar jata hu..kahi iski cheekh sun kar koi uth na jaye ?
“isko bhi vahi uss conductor ke sath baandh dete hain.” Ek ne kaha.
“nahi, isne hamari sab baate sun li hain jo hamare liye achcha nahi hai....” pahle wale shakhs ne kaha.
“to ise khatam hi kar dete hain.” Dusre ne kaha.
“chup be bhosdike....dekh nahi raha ki ye kitni sundar hai....aisi sundar ladki ko jaan se nahi mara jata balki uski bur aur gaand maari jati hai....isko to hum sardar ke paas le jayenge....” pahle shakhs ne kaha.
“isko kahi chhupa dete hain phir “ teesre admi ne kaha.
“nahi, iski cheekh sun kar agar koi yaha aa gaya to sab gadbad ho jayegi..aur agar hamara plan fail hua to sardar hum sabki gaand maar lega.” Pahle shakhs ne kaha.
Buddha—ek kaam karo, jaldi se isko ghar ke piche ki khidki se mere room me pahucha do, agar koi jaag bhi gaya hoga to vah isko dhoondne ke liye bahar hi ayega, mere kamre me nahi.
“haan, ye theek rahega...
Uske baad vo buddha jaldi se ghar ke bhitar chala gaya aur do admiyo ne khidki ke raste behosh vaishali ko buddhe ke kamre me chhupa diya..ye khidki sidha uss buddhe ke kamre me hi khulti thi.
Uss conductor ke hath pair aur munh baandh kar ek jagah rakha gaya tha....usne kisi tarah apna munh kapde ki giraft se azad kar liya aur jor jor se chillane laga..ye dekh kar vaha moujud admiyo ne uska kaam tamaam kar diya.
Uske baad vaishali ke baare me jaise hi pata chala ki vo bahar gayi thi to raj use dhoondne ke liye ghar se bahar nikal gaya...kisi ko gumaan tak nahi tha ki jis vaishali ko dhoondne ke liye raj bahar ja raha hai vo to ghar ke andar hi uss buddhe ke kamre me behosh padi huyi hai...vah buddha raj ke bahar jate hi darwaja phir se band kar liya...
Subah jaise hi sabki neend ki jhapki lagi vaise hi taak me baitha vah buddha chloroform ki madad se sabko behosh karta gaya...sabke behosh hote hi usne unn sabke rupaye paise aur jewar nikaal kar ek thaile me bhar liye aur phir apne admiyo ko signal de diya.
Signal milte hi uske admi unn sabko ghasit ghasit kar ek jeep (jo ki vahi jungle me chhupa kar rakhi huyi thi) me daal kar registan ke kinare le gaye, aur vaha ki ret me phenk aaye ....jisse ki kisi ko buddhe par shaq na ho..aur vo vapis uss ghar tak jaldi na pahuch paye.
Ghar se bahar nikalne ke baad raj idhar udhar vaishali ko awaz dete huye talash karne laga, use ab bhi yahi lag raha tha ki vaishali ke ab tak ghar na aane ke piche conductor ka hath hai..vo abhi dhoond hi raha tha ki tabhi uske kaano me kisi ki dard bhari chillane ki awaz sunayi padi to vah ghabra kar tezi se udhar bhaga.
Halanki bahar nazre jamate huye baithe admiyo ne use dekha aur pakadna chaha to pahle wale shakhs ne unhe rok diya.
“Isko ghar se thoda door jane do, tum log picha karo iska..aur jitna ho sake, door le ja kar maarna..ab koi gadbad nahi honi chahiye.” Pahle wale admi ne dhire se kaha.
Mobile ke torch ki roshni me vah jaldi hi uss jagah pahuch gaya jaha conductor apni akhiri saanse le raha tha, ye akhiri cheekh bhi uski hi thi...usko iss haal me dekh kar vo chounk gaya.
Raj (chounk kar)—tum aur yaha iss haal me ? kisne kiya ye sab aur meri vaishali didi kaha hain ?
Conductor (dard)—aaaaaahhh...vo....vo....
Aur iske sath hi conductor ki iss janam ki jeevan yatra samapt ho gayi...raj kuch samajh pata ki itne me kisi ne use piche se kas ke pakad liya aur dusre ne uska munh daba liya.,,magar unhe kya pata tha ki jisko vo pakade huye hain vo kisi saand se kam nahi hai aur gussail saand ko kabu karna itna asaan nahi hai..ulta koshish karne wale ki jaan tak chali jati hai.
Ek to vah vaishali ko le kar vaise hi tension me tha, upar se kisi ke apne upar hamla karne se uska dimag 90 degree se ghum gaya...usne aav dekha na taav gusse me turant samne wale admi ke pet me kas ke ek laat jama di jisse vah jamin chatne laga aur phir ek jhatke me hi apna hath chhuda kar piche wale admi, jisne ki usko pakda tha,..uska hath pakad kar tezi se marod diya.
Aisa karte hi vo admi dard se chillane laga, kandhe se uska hath toot chuka tha..raj ne fauran uski gardan daboch li..
Raj (gusse me)—bata madarchoddd...meri didi kaha hain ? kya kiya tum logo ne unke sath ? jaldi bata warna teri maiya chod dalunga...
Magar vo admi bolta bhi to kaise bolta ? raj ne itni kas ke uski gardan daboch rakhi thi ki vo kuch bol hi nahi pa raha tha, bas dard se chhatpataye ja raha tha...aur kuch der chhatpatane ke baad usne bhi iss papi duniya ko alvida kah diya.
Jis admi ke pet me laat padi thi, vah uth kar phir se bhid gaya..raj ne use ek jhatke me hi dubara niche patak diya aur uski bhi gardan daboch li..
Raj (gusse me)—teri maa ko chodu...madarchod...tadaaakkk.....bata meri vaishali didi kaha hain ?
Ye admi bhi iss duniya se rukhsat hone hi wala tha ki tabhi kisi ne piche se raj ke sir me kisi vajandar cheez se vaar kiya jisse uska sir ghumne laga sath me khoon nikalna bhi shuru ho gaya, aur phir vo behosh hota chala gaya kintu behosh hote hote usne uss admi ko bhi yamlok ki sair karne ke liye bhej diya.
Subah hote hote vaishali ko bhi hosh aa chuka tha, magar tab tak vo sab apne maqsad me kamyab ho chuke the..hosh aate par jaise hi usne khud ko ek kamre me dekha aur use raat ki sari ghatna yaad aayi to vah ghabra kar kamre se bahar nikal kar uss room me gayi jaha sab log ruke huye the..
Kintu vaha to ab koi bhi nahi tha...ye dekh vah ghar se bahar nikalne ke liye darwaje ki taraf bhagi magar bahar nikalte hi kuch logo ne use pakad liya.
Admi 1—tu kaha jati hai meri bulbul....chalo re le chalo iss bulbul ko sardar ke paas...bechari ki aaj saamuhik suhagrat hogi...hahahaha....aur haan, unn sabki dead body ko yaha se kahi door le ja kar alag alag jagah par phenk dena...
Vaishali—chhodo mujhe....sab log kaha hain ? kya kiya tum sabne unke sath ? humne tumhara kya bigada hai ? saale buddhe harami, hamne tujh par bharosa kiya aur tune...? chhodo mujhe..aaaahh....raaajjjjj....bachaaooo...raaajjjjjjj..ek baar mera hath chhod do..phir dekhna, ek ek ki chamdi udhed kar bhusa nahi bhar diya to vaishali mera naam nahi..raaajjjjjj...bachaaooo
Admi 1—le chalo re iss chhamiya ko....sardar aaj itni mast loundiya pa kar khush ho jayega.. aur tum log unn charo ko ja kar kahi thikane lagao..
Admi 2—lekin yaar uss ladke ki saans abhi bhi chal rahi hai jisne hamare do admiyo ko mara tha..
Admi 1—arrey nahi re...mare huye ko kya maarna...uske sir se vaise bhi itna khoon bah chuka hai ki vo thodi der me khud hi mar jayega..
Uski baat sunte hi teen chaar admi raj, conductor aur baki do unke hi admi jinhe raj ne raat me tapkaya tha, jeep me laad kar chale gaye aur sabko yaha se door alag alag jagah par phenk aaye.
Teen admi vaishali ko le kar ghasitte huye le jane lage, magar tabhi....kisi ki awaz sun kar unke kadam ruk gaye aur jaise hi unhone palat kar dusri taraf awaz ki disha me dekha to sabhi chounk gaye..
“Ladki ko chhod do....warna tum sab ki gaand me itne chhed karungi ki tumhara hagna mootna sab munh se shuru jayega.”
INTERMISSION
Unke samne ek ladki khadi thi jise dekh kar vo chounk gaye the, usne apne dono hath aur sir me rumaal baandh rakha tha..uski dhamki sun kar vo sabhi hasne lage..
Admi 1—yaar..lo ek aur patakha khud hi hamari jholi me aa gayi...hahahaha
Ladki (tezi se)—haraam ke pillo..suna nahi..maine kya kaha..ladki ko sidhe tarah se chhod do..warna...
Admi 3—bhai, ye to bandit queen hai..dhamki deti hai...hihihihihi
Admi 2—ladki ko to hum nahi chhodenge aur na hi ab tujhe....jao pakad lao isko bhi....aaj do do maal ka maza ek sath lootne ka mouka mila hai...jao utha lo isko bhi...phir aaj ise asli bandit queen banayenge.....
Do admi turant uss ladki ki taraf badhe..unhe apni taraf aate dekh vah ladki bhi turant unse bhidne ke liye taiyar ho gayi..jaise hi dono uske paas pahuche, usne fauran ghum kar ek kick ek admi ke ghutne par aur ek karara puch dusre admi ke pet me jad diya.
Ye sab itna jaldi hua ki vo dono kuch samajh hi nahi paye aur vahi niche baith kar dard me tadapne lage..usne dono ko sambhalne ka koi mouka hi nahi diya aur iss vaar ke agle hi pal ek ek punch dono ke jabde me raseed kar diya..iss dusre hamle ne dono ke jabde tod diye aur unke daant unke munh ka sath chhod kar bahar nikal aaye...dono ke munh se khoon ki dhara bah chali aur vo vahi lahuluhan ho kar ludhak gaye..
Apne sathiyo ki ye durdasha dekh kar vo admi hakke bakke rah gaye..unhone sapne me bhi nahi socha tha ki jinse aas paas ke sabhi log darr se tharrate hain, unhe ek ladki pal bhar me dhool chata degi ? jisnki dahshat ka ye aalam hai ki log raat me vaha se gujarte tak nahi, unka ye haal vo bhi ek chhuimui si ladki ke hatho ?
Ye haal apne admiyo ka dekh kar unhe bhi ab gussa aa gaya aur jo iss samay unka netratva kar raha tha ya phir ye kaha jaye ki jise vaishali ko sakushal apne sardar tak pahuchane ki jimmedari soumpi gayi thi..usne turant apni bandook ka nishana uss ladki ki taraf taan diya.
Admi 1—Sali, bahut dum hai tujhme..? huuunnnhh...abhi batata hu tujhe...chal jaldi se hath upar kar warna teri khopdi uda dunga....chal upar kar hath..aaaaaahhh
Vo kuch karta ki tabhi uski gaand me ek laat padi aur vo munh ke bal jamin me gir pada...hua ye ki jab uss ladki ne dono admiyo ko dharashayi kiya to kuch pal ke liye bakiyo ka dhyan vaishali ki ore se hat gaya tha..mouke ka fayda utha kar vaishali ne uss admi ki gaand me kas ke laat jama di.
Iske baad kisi ko kuch karne ka mouka hi nahi diya uss ladki ne..uss admi ke niche girte hi usne apni jeb se chaku nikaal kar phenk kar mara jo sidha uss admi ki hatheli me ja ghusa jisne vaishali ke hath pakad rakhe the...aur phir palak jhapakte hi usne vo bandook apne hatho me le li..
Bandook hath me aate hi usne baki admiyo ki apni laat kick aur punch se dhunayi start kar di, kuch hi der me vo sabhi jamin chatte nazar aane lage.
Ladki—isse pahle ki inke aur sathi aa jaye..chalo yaha se...jaldi..
Vaishali—thanks, meri jaan bachane ke liye...agar tum nahi aati to main..
Ladki—pahle niklo yaha se...baad me baat karte hain...
Dono tezi se bhagte huye vaha se chal padi..aur jaldi hi main road par pahuch gayi jaha ek scooty khadi thi..
Ladki—chalo jaldi baitho scooty me..
Vaishali—ye kiski scooty hai ?
Ladki—meri hai..chalo baitho jaldi...jo puchna hai, raste me puch lena...yaha rukna theek nahi hai..
Vaishali (nam ankhe)—nahi, pahle mujhe apne bhai ko bachana hai...pls,,meri ek madad aur kar do..use inn logo ne kahi phenk diya hai..vo bahut ghayal hai...agar use jaldi hospital nahi pahuchaya gaya to vah mar jayega..aur agar vo mar gaya to main bhi jeete ji mar jaungi..pls..mujhe mere bhai ke paas le chalo..pls..
Ladki—isme bahut khatra hai aur phir itne bade jungle me hum use dhoondenge kaha ?
Vaishali (nam ankhe)—main janti hu ki vo koun se raste se gaye hain..pls..
Ladki—theek hai baitho jaldi..
Mouke ki najakat ko samajhte huye dono jaldi se vaha se nikal gaye..raste me vaishali ne use raat ki poori ghatna batayi jise sun kar vah ladki bhi dang rah gayi.
Vaishali—thanks ki tumhari vajah se main aaj bach gayi..tum waqai me bahut bahadur ho..
Ladki—it’s ok..
Vaishali—apne baare me to tumne kuch bataya hi nahi ? tumhe unn dakuo se ladne me jara bhi darr nahi laga ?
Ladki—mera naam....Monika...hai ...aur darr kaisa ? main Black Belt champion hu...aise do chaar admiyo ko bina hathiyar ke bhi dhool chata dena mere baante hath ka kaam hai..main to bas yaha se gujar rahi thi ki tabhi mujhe kisi ladki ke chillane ki awaz aayi to main ruk gayi..shayad ye cheekh tumhari hi thi..vaise tum bhi kam bahadur nahi ho..koi aur ladki hoti to kab ka unke samne ghutne tek deti...
Vaishali—hmmm...ruko..ruko..vo dekho...vaha koi pada hai...
Dono baat karte huye uss jagah pahuch gayi jaha conductor ki dead body padi huyi thi..dono ne aur aage ja kar bahut dhoonda lekin unhe raj kahi nahi nazar aaya...
Vaishali (rote huye)—kaha gaya raj ? kya kiya unhone mere raj ke sath ?
Aise hi baat karte huye sab uss basti me aa gaye jaha palak rahti thi...ye basti jungle se lagi huyi thi..sabhi ghar kachchi mitti ke bane huye the...ghar pahuchne par jab palak ke mata pita ne uske sath itne saare logo ko dekha to vah hairan ho gaye..puchne par palak ne sach sach bata diya..
Jab uske mata pita ki nazar raj par gayi to vah achanak hi chounk kar khade ho gaye..
Ab Aage..........
“Nahi, ye nahi ho sakta...ye kaise sambhav hai ?” Palak ke 50 varsheey pita buddhi ram ne raj ko dekh kar hairan hote huye dheere se apni patni 40 saal ki Phoolwati se kaha.
“Yahi to main bhi soch rahi hu ki bhala ye kaise sambhav hai ?” Palak ki maa Phoolwati ne bhi uske pita ki tarah apni hairanagi ko jatate huye dabi juban jawab diya.
Unn dono ke chehro par hairani dekh kar raj khud bhi hairan ho gaya..uske kuch samajh me hi nahi aa raha tha.
Raj (hairan)—aap dono mujhe dekh kar aise hairan kyon ho gaye ? pahle to didi hairan ho gayi thi mujhe dekhte hi aur ab aap dono ? yaha tak ki ye dinanath baba aur vo jungle me rahne wali kamla bhi mujhe dekh kar chounk gaye the.. kya aap dono mujhe jante hain ? lekin main to aap sabse aaj pahli baar hi mil raha hu aur to aur aaj se pahle main kabhi yaha aaya bhi nahi..phir ye kaise ho sakta hai ? (phir mann me)...kahi vo wala raj to yaha nahi aaya tha..jaise kamla mujhe dekh kar uss raj ka dhokha kha gayi, vaise hi ye sab bhi...? jarur aisa hi hoga..
Phoolwati—yahi to hum bhi soch rahe hain beta...
Palak—jo aap soch rahi ho vahi to main bhi soch rahi thi amma ki ye kaise ho sakta hai..
Raj—kya kaise ho sakta hai ? meri to kuch samajh me nahi aa raha hai..
Phoolwati—batate hain beta lekin pahle apne baare me kuch batao beta..tum koun ho, kaha se aaye ho aur yaha manhoos jagah me kisliye aaye ho ? aur kya tumhara naam raj hai ?
Raj—ji haan, mera naam raj hai...(phir raj ne apne baare me sab kuch bata diya)
Sab kuch sun kar vo sab aur bhi hairan ho gaye aur kuch der tak ek dusre ka munh dekhte rahe, unki aisi halat dekh kar raj bhi achambhit tha.
Raj (hairan)—ab to aap log kuch bataiye ki akhir baat kya hai ? aap log mujhe kaise jante hain ?
Buddhiram—beta, sach to ye hai ki hum khud tumhe aaj pahli baar dekh rahe hain.
Raj (hairan)—kyaa ? to phir aap mujhe dekh kar chounk kyon gaye aur aapko mera naam kaise pata hai pahle se hi ?
Phoolwati—iski do vajah hain beta..pahla, aaj se kayi saal pahle se kuch gunde aksar yaha aate the aur poori basti walo ko tumhari photo dikha kar sabse puchte the ki iss ladke ko dekha hai kahi ? iska naam raj hai ? vo sab ye kyon puchte the, pata nahi..
Raj—aur dusri vajah ?
Phoolwati—ussi samay ek ladki na jane kaha se bhatakti huyi ghayal halat me yaha aa pahuchi aur hamare ghar ke bahar hi gir kar behosh ho gayi..hum use apne ghar ke bhitar le aaye... do din baad usko hosh aaya lekin vo itni jyada ghayal thi ki kuch bol hi nahi pa rahi thi...hamari koi aulad to thi nahi to hamne use apni hi beti maan liya aur raat din uski dekh bhal karne lage..raat me site huye vo sapna dekh kar chilla uthti thi...uske aane ke baad hame ye mahsoos hona hi band ho gaya tha ki hamari koi aulad nahi hai...lekin hamari ye khushi jyada din tak nahi rahi.
Raj (hairan)—matlab ?
Phoolwati—uss samay ye jungle aisa tha ki yaha aane ka rasta to tha kintu bahar nikalne ka koi rasta nahi tha...har taraf ek tarah ka tilism jaisa mayajal bichha hua tha...uss ladki ki badaulat hi bahut hadh tak ye yaha ka tilism toot gaya... na jane kaha se ye baat wasiyat ke pyase uss darinde Black Star ko pata chal gayi.. agle hi din kuch naqabposh admi hathiyar liye yaha aa gaye aur usse wasiyat ke baare me puchtach karte huye maarpeet karne lage...vo bahut hi bahadur ladki thi...usne unn sabko thikane laga diya...iss ghatna ke baad ek raat na jane usne khwab me kya dekha ki agle din vo nadi ke uss paar ki basti me jane ki jid karne lagi lekin vaha jana itna saral nahi tha..hamne use bahut samjhaya...ki vah vaha jane ka khyal dil se nikal de kyonki iss mayajaal ka asli kendra to nadi ke uss paar hi hai...par vo nahi mani, aur yaha se chali gayi..jate jate uski ek diary yahi rah gayi jo bilkul kori thi magar haan usme ek sketch jarur tha jisme tumhari tasveer bani huyi thi...
Ye sunte hi raj ki dhadkan achanak hi tez ho gayi...dil bechain ho kar tezi se dhadakne laga, vo puchna bahut kuch chah raha tha lekin shabd nahi nikal rahe the hotho se..
Raj (bechain)—kya naam tha uss ladki ka ?
Phoolwati (sochte huye)—uska naam....haan, sheetal ya sadhna..aisa hi kuch bataya tha usne.
Sheetal, sadhna ka naam sunte hi raj dhadam se niche baith gaya..uski ankho se jhar jhar karke aanshoo bahne lage...
Phoolwati—nahi, baad me uska kuch pata nahi chala....baad me kewal itna pata chala ki vaha jate samay raste me hi uss darinde black star se uska samna ho gaya aur uss kamine ne wasiyat ki lalach me use maar diya..
Raj (dard aur gussa)—(aankh me pani)..kyaaaa ? didi...tere khoon ke ek ek boond ki kasam..aaj se meri jindagi ka sirf ek hi maqsad hoga..uss madarchodd..black star se badla lena...chahe vo dharti, akash ya pataal jaha bhi chhup jaye..ye saand use chhodega nahi..
Phoolwati--uske jane ke ek saal baad palak ka janam hua.. palak jab badi huyi to ekdam uss ladki ke jaise hi dikhne lagi.. hame laga ki hamari sheetal/sadhna beti phir se naya janam le kar hamare paas lout aayi hai...hum to iska naam bhi sheetal ya sadhna hi rakhna chahte the magar phir ye soch kar nahi rakha ki kahi black star ne jaan liya to sheetal ya sadhna samajh kar vo jalim phir se hamari beti ko na maar de, isliye hamne iska naam palak rakha..palak ke haav bhaav, baat karne ka tarika, vahi shakal surat, vaise hi raat me sapne dekhna aur chilla uthna..sab kuch uske jaisa hi tha..kabhi kabhi to sapne me hi badbadane lagti hai ki “tumhe aana hoga, meri khatir yaha aana hoga”...kabhi kabhi gaana gaane lagti hai sote sote hi..uss black star ki nazar uss par na pade isliye hamne uss basti ko chhod diya aur yaha aa kar bas gaye.
Phoolwati ki iss baat ne jaise raj ke bujhe dil me jeevan ka ek naya sanchar kar diya...ab tak sabhi ki palke nam ho chuki thi...magar palak thi ki uski ankhe ekdam sookhi padi thi..uske dil me iss samay kya chal raha hai, ye andaza lagana kafi mushkil hai..vah to bas ektak bina palak jhapkaye raj ko hi dekhe ja rahi thi..
Buddhiram—jis darr se hamne vo basti chhodi..aaj vahi hua...jo hum nahi chahte the..hamare lakh mana karne ke baad bhi ye ladki jungle me na jane kya karne chali jati hai ? na jane aisa kya lagaav hai ise jungle se ? bilkul uske jaise hi jiddi hai...aaj dekho aa gayi na unn jalimo ki nazar me ? pad gayi na uss dusht ki buri nazar hamari beti par...na jane ab kya karega vo harami ?
Raj (gusse me)—kuch nahi hogaaa...ab main aa gaya hu....ab kuch nahi hone dunga main...ab to jo hoga uss madarchod ke sath hoga..
Phoolwati (pareshan)—lekin beta..iska yaha rahna ab theek nahi hai aur na hi tum sab ka..vo shant nahi baithega..
Raj—aap chinta mat kijiye...kal subah hi aap sab mere sath mere ghar chalenge aur main iss baare me kuch nahi sununga..aapko apni ussi beti ki kasam hai..
Raj ne aage badh kar palak ko apne seene se laga liya jo abhi bhi vaisi hi halat me thi...seene se lagte hi usne pahli baar apni palak jhapkate huye aankhe band kar li aur bina kisi pratirodh ke raj se chipakti chali gayi...uske haav bhav se aise lag raha tha jaise ki vah sadiyo se raj ko janti ho..
“Kisi Julf Ka Baadal Hona Kitna Achcha Lagta Hai,
Kisi Aankh Ka Kaajal Hona Kitna Achcha Lagta hai,
Taane Sahkar, Ashk Chhupa Kar, Iss Sanjeeda Duniya Mein,
Tere Pyar Mein Paagal Hona Kitna Achcha Lagta Hai.”
Buddhiram—theek hai beta, jaisa tum theek samjho..(dinanath ko dekh kar)..lekin beta, ye koun hain aur iss haal me ?
Shayad ab pahli baar unka dhyan zanjeero me bandhe dinanath ki taraf gaya tha, dekha to unhone yaha aate samay bhi tha lekin raj ko dekhne ke baad poora dhyan raj ki taraf hi ho kar rah gaya tha.
Unki baat ka jawab dinanath ne khud hi diya..apni poori kahani unhone khud hi bata di, jo usne raj ko bataya tha.
Dinanath—bas yahi meri dukh bhari kahani hai..raj bete ne mujhe uss harami ki qaid se to azad kara diya magar ab na jane inn zanjeero se kaise azadi milegi ?
Buddhiram—aap chinta mat kariye..main abhi kuch karta hu..
Kahne ke sath hi vo bhitar ja kar ek aari le aaya aur usse salakho ko kaatne laga..thodi der me hi dinanath unn bandhano se bhi mukt ho gaya.
Uske baad sabhi andar aa gaye...phoolwati ne khana banaya sabke liye...khana kha kar araam karne lage..raj ko peshab lagi to vah mootne ke liye ghar ke piche taraf chala gaya..lekin jaise hi vaha pahucha to samne dekhte hi chounk gaya.
