"arrey to kya hua?? jaanta hai to jaanta hai.. tujhe kyun mirchi lag rahi hai? kaam to mera mushkil ho raha hai na. khaana to mujhe akele khana pad raha hai na"
"lekin in sab ke beech fasa to main hoon. main yahan atka nahin rehna chahta. lekin mujhe yeh bhi pata karna hai ke in dono ke beech kya chal raha hai. kal weekend hai, kal achchi tarah se pata karna padega."
"ab mujhe iss kaam mein mat dalo. pehle hi mujhe kya kya karna pada hai - khaana banana, ghar sawarna, bhookha waapas aana.. ab aur kuch nahi karunga. main main kaam chhodne ki soch raha hoon aur tum mujhe ek aur resposibility de rahe ho" jhooth mooth vikas ne bola. sach to yeh tha ke wo bhi Rahul ke aane se itna jal raha tha jitna ke prem. aakhir pyaar to uska bhi latka hua tha. usse bhi tension hona jaayaz tha.
"Dekh vikas yeh to tujhe karna hi padega. ab hum dost bhi ban gaye hain. itna to tumhein mere liye karna hi padega"
"kaahe ke dost ban gaye hain? main koi dost vost nahin hoon kissi murde ka. aur waise bhi mujhe kya faayda hoga? kaam pe meri concentration kam hogi, time mera waste hoga, mukti to tujhe hi milega na"
"main bhi tumhaari kaafi help kar sakta hoon"
"kaise" achaanak se hi vikas ko interest aa gaya
"dekho humaare paas bhi kuch powers hoti hain. tum meri madat karoge to main bhi pakka tumhaari madat karunga"
"maine to madat karna shuru bhi kar diya hai. tum bhi kuch karo" vikas bola
"kal shaam ko jo ghud sawaari ka contest hain, ghoda number 5 pe daav laga do. 3 guna paise milenge. main nahi chahta tha ke humaare beech mein aisa rishta ho. lekin tum agar yeh hi chahte ho to yeh hi sahi. lekin madat tumhein meri poori karni padegi"
"zarur karunga mere yaar. zarur karunga. bas mujhe paisa lagane de" vikas kuch bookies ko to jaanta hi thha. wo fatafat ghar se nikla aur bina kuch soche samjhe 50k laga diye ghoda number 5 par. jab usne paise laga diye aur waapas ghar aa raha tha, tab uske zehen mein yeh baat aayi ke agar prem jhoot bol raha tha to kya hoga... lekin khair jab okhli mein sar de hi diya hai to moosal se kya darna - aisa sochte hue wo ghar pe aaya aur so gaya.
agle din subah uske darwaze ki ghanti zor zor se bajne lagi. wo utha aur jaa ke darwaaza khola.Dekha ke nidhi khadi hai haath mein chaaye ka pyaala le kar. "err sorry itni jaldi uthaa diya tumhein. tumhaare yahan chai bana loon main?"
"kyun nahin. do cup bana do. main bhi peeyunga. agar zyada mehnat nahi ho to kuch naashte mein bhi bana do. raat ko ekele khaa ke pet nahi bhara" vikas ne kataksh karte hue kaha
"sorry baba. maine raat mein bhi tumse bola tha na sorry. mujhe sach mein pata nahi tha ke rahul aa raha hai nahin to main usko 3 log ka khaana laane ko keh deti. chalo main abhi tumhaare liye naashta bana deti hoon"
"theek hain. tum khaana banao. main potty ho aata hoon tab tak" yeh shabd muh se nikalte hi usse realize hua ke usse aisa nahin kehna chahiye tha, ek ladki ke saamne wo bhi subah subah. wo fatak se muda aur nidhi ki taraf dekhe bina hi toilet ki taraf chal pada.
Nidhi bhi naak sakod ke chali gayi kitchen ki taraf. ab bachelor ka kitchen hai to ganda to hoga hi. Nidhi ne pehle achchi tarah se saare kitchen ki safai kari, fir chaye aur nasta bana diya. lekar aayi to dekha vikas waapis bistre pe pada so raha hai. "vikky utho. main akele itna naashta nahin khaa sakti."
udi baba. nidhi ne to vikas ko vikky kaha, yeh sunte hi vikas ki aankhein 100 watt bulb ki tarah badi ho gayi. lagta hai uska jaadu () asar karne laga tha nidhi pe. jhat se vikas uth baitha. "arrey main to bas aise hi jhapki le raha tha. main aaya to dekha ke tum safai kar rahi ho. maine socha ke theek hi ho raha hai, isliye aa ke jhapki le li"
"bahut hi ghatiya kism ke insaan ho tum. zara si madat karne ki koshish bhi nahi kari"
"tum kaam karte hue itni achchi lag rahi thhi ke maine kuch kehna theek nahi samjha". vikas ne notice nahi kiya ke prem side mein khada tha aur mand mand muskura raha tha. prem ko pata nahi tha ke vikas itni achchi baat kaise kar raha hai. shayad so ke utha hai isliye dimag nahi chal raha prem ne socha
"bas bas. baatein banana band karo aur chalo nashta karte hain" kehte hue nidhi ne dining table pe khaana laga diya.
dono naashte pe aise toote jaise janamon se bhookhe ho. shayad nidhi ne bhi kal theek se khana nahi khaya tha aisa sochkar vikas khush ho raha tha.
"kal rahu itna thoda khaana laaya tha ke ek jane ke liye bhi poora na padta, bahut kanjoos lagta hai mujhe wo" nidhi ne bola aur vikas ke sapnon ka mahal dhamm se fir neeche aa gira.
"Waise yeh Rahul hai kaun? college ka friend hai kya" prem ke kehne par vikas ne poocha
"nahin. prem ka boss tha"
"kaun prem?"
"main abhi yeh baat nahi kar sakti. bahut dukhon se bhari hui hai meri zindagi. main tumhaare saamne apna pitaara nahi kholna chahti"
"arrey doosron ke dukh baantna to achchi baat hoti hai. khushi mein tum kisi ke saath raho na raho, gham mein zarur uske saath rehna chahiye. aur waise bhi mujhe lagta hai ke ab to hum dost ban gaye hain. to doston ko to ek doosre ke baare mein saari baatein pata honi chahiye na. chalo main shuruaat karta hoon. fir tumhaara dil kare to tum bhi bataana" prem ke kahe anusaar, vikas tote ki tarah bolta gaya. apni saari kahaani usne nidhi ko suna di. carefully apne college ka naam nahi bataya. "to yeh thhi meri kahani. jis vikas ko tum aaj dekh rahi ho, wo ek bahut hi bure mahaul se guzra hai. meri zindagi ka har din hathode ki tarah pada hai mujh par. lekin dekho, main aaj ek successful aadmi ban gaya hoon. zindagi mein biwi ke siva sab kuch hai. waise tum pehli ladki ho jisse maine dosti banayi hai .agar tum bhi mujh se dosti bana lo aur apni kahaani suna do to shayad hum dono ek doosre ka gham baant ke bahut khush ho jayenge" pehli baar itni badi conversation vikas ne prem ke kahe anusaar 100% nibha di thhi. prem to khush tha hi, nidhi ka chehra dekhkar vikas bhi bahut khush thha.
"vikas tum kabhi aise aadmi se mile ho jiske saath tum poora waqt rehte ho, jiski zimmedaari hai tumhaari dekhbaal karna, jo saamne se to bahut achcha lagta ho par jiska dil koyle ki tarah kaala ho?? shayad nahin. lekin prem ek aisa aadmi thha. majboori se wo mera pati thha. Jitna bhi samay humaari shaadi ko hua, mujhe lagta hai wo sab ek brahm tha. prem ne mujhse kabhi sach nahi bola. main samajhti rahi ke wo mujhse sach hi bolta hai, lekin ek din uske mobile ke msg padh kar mujhe ehsaas hua ke wo mere saath sirf formality hi kar raha hai. shayad uske ghar waalon ne zabardasti uski shaadi mere saath karwayi thhi. lekin iss mein mera kya kasoor?? usne mujhse kabhi utna pyaar nahi kiya jitna ek pati ko apni biwi se karna chahiye. Poora waqt mujhe jhoot bol kar kabhi dipti to kabhi anita aur kabhi nisha ke saath gulcharrey udaata tha. ek baar maine uske mobile mein msg padhe to mujhe sab kuch saaf ho gaya. main fir bhi kuch nahi boli. maine kaha der saver wo waapis mere paas aayega hi. lekin hum dono ke beech ki dooriyan badhti gayin. hum dono rehte to ek chhat ke neeche aur sote to ek palang pe thhe, magar humaare darmiyaan jaise ek bahut badi deewar thhi. is deewar ko laangh paana aur uss tak pahunchne ka mujhe koi chaara nahi dikh raha tha. ek baar wo ghar pe keh ke gaya ke office ke kaam ke liye 2 din bahar jaa raha hai. mujhe pata thha ke wo kisi ladki ke paas jayega lekin main kuch nahi boli. maine divorce ke paper file kiye hue thhe. uss din wo papers mere haath lag gaye.maine unki 2 copies banwayi, ek uske ghar pe bheji aur ek le kar uske office mein chali gayi. mujhe laga ke uske desk par rakh dungi taaki jab wo office jaye to usse wo dikh jaayein. wahan meri mulaqat ittefaq se Rahul se hui. usne bahut bahane maare Prem ko justify karne ke lekin mujhe sab baat pehle hi pata thhi. maine uski desk pe paper rakhe aur waapas aa gayi. agle din mera birthday thha. Mujhe to pata tha ke prem nahi aayega isliye maine pehle hi apni college friends ke saath bahar jaane ka program banaya tha. isse pehle main nikalti, Rahul ek guldasta le kar humaare ghar aaya aur mujhe diya. wo mujhe bola ke prem ne usse phone karke bola hai yeh guldasta le jaane ke liye aur prem ko shayad 2 din aur lag jayenge bahar. mujhe laga shayad mera pati itna galat nahi hai jitna main samajh rahi hoon ke tabhi shayad mere upar dukhon ka pahaad toot pada. phone ki ghanti baji aur mujhe soochna mili ke prem ghar aa raha tha aur raaste mein uska accident ho gaya hai" Nidhi ke aankhon se aansoo rukne ka naam nahi le rahe thhe. gala itna roondh gaya tha ke shabd bhi aaram se nahi nikal paa rahe thhe. uski halat dekh ke vikas ko bahut daya aa rahi thhi. usne prem ki taraf dekha to paya ke uski bhi aankhein nam thhi.
"Nidhi mujhe lagta hai maine tumhaare dil ka koi bahut dard bhara taar chhed diya hai. main nahi chahta ke tum apne aap ko mere liye aur dukh do. shayad se samay chup hi rehna theek hoga tumhaare liye." vikas paani ki bottle lekar aaya nidhi ke liye
"nahi vikas. yeh baatein mere andar kisi jwaalamukhi ki tarah ubal rahi hai. kabhi na kabhi to inhein bahar aana hi hain. maine aaj tak kabhi kisi se inka zikr nahi kiya. agar aaj tum sun pao to ehsaan hoga mujh par"
"arrey ehsaan ki baat mat kar gadhi. dost to bol diya, nibhayegi nahin kya. maine pyaar kiya nahin dekhi?? dosti mein no sorry and no thankyou usne bola thha, main usko modify kar ke usmein ehsaan bhi include kar deta hoon" vikas ne mahaul ko thoda halka karne ki koshish kari. "aaj saturday hai aur kal sunday. dono din mujhe koi kaam nahi hai. tum chaaho to aise hi baitha ke mujhe apni poori zindagi ka lekha jokha suna sakti ho. kasam khuda ki agar maine uff tak bhi kari. jab bhi mann kare, aage bolne lag jaana" vikas ne muskuraate hue kaha. do minute saanse sambhaalne ke baad nidhi waapas bolne lagi,
"Mera saraa sansaar uss ek pal mein deh gaya. mujhe laga ke dharti phat jaye aur main usmein sama jaun. halanki prem mujhse pyaar nahi karta thha, par main usse bahut pyaar karti thhi aur aise achanak se uski maut ka sadma bardaasht nahi kar payi. divorce ke documents dekh kar uske ghar waalon ne bhi mere se rishta to ddiya. aise samay mein mujhe ek dost ki sakht zarurat thhi aur wo dost mujhe Rahul mein mila. ussne na sirf mujhe jeene ki raah dikhayi, balki mujhe waapas apne pairon pe khada kiya. Lekin duniya waalon se yeh dekha nahi jaata. unhone mujhe tarah tarah ke naam de kar badnaam karna shuru kar diya. isliye maine wo locality hi chhod di. nayi naukari mili par issi shaher mein. transfer ke liye shayad waqt lag jaye. to bas isliye iss locality mein shift ho gayi. par jagah badalne se ghaav nahi bharte. mujhe lagta hai ke prem ke diye ghaav aaj bhi hare hain" kehte hue nidhi fir se rone lag gayi.
Vikas ko nidhi pe jitna taras aa raha tha usse kahin zyaada gussa usse prem par aa raha tha. kaise usne ek hamesha khush rehne waali ladki ko ghamon ke samunder mein phenk diya hai. vikas nidhi ke paas ho gaya aur apne kandhe pe uska sir rakh kar usko sahunubhuti dene laga.
"chhodo ab purani baaton ko nidhi. jo hua, so hua. ab tum apni zindagi waapis paa chuki ho"
"haan main jaanti hoon"
"Bas ab tumhaari zindagi mein sirf ek cheez ki kami hai"
"kya"
"gas ka cylinder. jad tak wo nahin aayega, tumhein yahin pe aana padega"
"nahin main bahar se order kar lungi tumhein takleef hoti hai to" nidhi muskuraate hue boli.
"arrey takleef ki kya baat hai, issi bahaane mujhe thoda dhang ka khaana mil jaya karega bina mehnat ke" vikas bola aur dono khilkila ke has pade.
"vikas ek baat dhyaan rakhna. duniya chahe tumhein kuch bhi kahe, tum dil ke bade hi achche insaan ho. kabhi badalna mat. har aadmi ek ideal aadmi nahi ban sakta. har kisi mein kuch na kuch kharaabi hoti hi hai. doosron ki baaton mein aa ke, apne aap ko mat badalna nahi to tumhaari uniqueness kho jayegi. ja main tumse dosti kar sakti hoon tumhein jaane bina, to koi bhi ladki kar sakti hai."
"thanks for the compliment" vikaas ne blush hote hue kaha
"vikas bahut dinon baad aaj kisi se baat kar ke mujhe achcha lag raha hai. dil chahta hai ke main tumpe vishwas karun aur mujhe tum par vishwaas hone bhi laga hai. bus mere se ek waada karo. waada karo ke mera vishwas tum kabhi nahi todoge"
"main waada karta hun nidhi."
Nidhi aur vikas ne thodi der aise hi idhar-udhar ki baatein kari aur fir nidhi apne ghar chali gayi. Nidhi ke nikalte hi vikas haadh dho kar prem ke peeche pad gaya.
"kaise kar sakto tum apni biwi ke saath aisa? uske baad tum mujhe bhashan sunaate ho?? tumhaari biwi ki jagah agar main hota to divorce nahin, jaan se maar deta tumko"
"dekh vikas, mujhe pata hai ke mere se kya galti hui hai. aur ussi ko sudhaarne main yahan aaya hoon. iss liye apni yeh bak bak band kar. aur mujhe thoda sochne de"
"kya soch rahe ho ab?"
"yeh Rahul jitna seedha ban raha hai, mujhe lagta nahi hai ke utna seedha hai. mujhe lagta hai ke yeh nidhi ko bewakoof bana raha hai. koi baat to hai jo humaare saamne hote hue bhi humein dikh nahi rahi.Main iss Rahul ka bhandafod kar ke rahunga. main nahi chahta ke meri biwi kisi ke baat mein aise hi aa jaye. lekin Rahul chahta kya hai"
"shayad paisa ya property"
"property jo bhi hai wo mummy-papa ke naam pe hai aur wo jaisa nidhi keh rahi hai ke issko milne ke chances kam hain. maine jitna paisa kamaya tha, wo ek aise account mein daala tha jahan pe meri madat ke bagair koi aadmi ek paisa nahi nikal sakta. Aur waise bhi Rahul ek bahut hi ameer aadmi hai. paison ke liye uska aisa karna thoda ajeeb lagta hai"
"arrey to paisa nahi, property nahi to pyaar karne lag gaya hoga wo nidhi se"
"Ho sakta hai. par jahan tak maine Rahul ko dekha hai, wo bhi meri tarah aiyyaash hi tha. usski kaafi girl friends hua karti thi. fir kisi vidhwa ke peeche aise pagal hona, daal mein zarur kuch kaala hai"
"to tum dal chaano, main laga thoda aaram karne. waise bhi itni jaldi uthne ki aadat hai nahi meri weekend par"
"dhyaan rakhna aaj shaam 4 baje ki race se tumhein paise lene bhi jaana hai"
"Haan haan. kaise bhool sakta hoon wo main. 50 hazaar rupaye laga diye thhe maine 5 number ke ghode par"
"Hey bhagwaan. main to mazaak kar raha tha. hum logon ke paas kuch power nahi hoti. beta tere paise to doob gaye"
"abey kya baat kar raha hai... dekh sach sach bata. main jaa kar kisi tarah se haath pair jod kar kuch karne ki koshish karunga. mazaak mat kar dost. bhai hai na tu mera. bata, 5 number ka ghoda hi jeetega na"
"jeetna to 5 number ka hi chahiye. ab wo aage numberon mein fer badal kar dein to main kya jaanu" prem ne ek shaitani muskurahat ke saath bola
bas itna kehne ki der thhi ke vikas ke haath paaon fool gaye. agar wo yeh paise haar gaya to kya hoga? kitni mushkil se usne yeh paise jama kiye thhe. ab to ghar waalon ke saare paise bhi usne aiyyaashi mein uda diye hain. itne saare paise wo ek saath khona afford nahi kar sakta tha. poori dopahar wo bas karwatein badalta raha aur prem usko dekh ke bas hasta raha. Jab shaam hone ko thhi to wo fatafat tayyaar hua aur racecourse ki taraf ravaana ho gaya. jab usne wahan jaa ke check kiya, to uski jaan mein jaan aayi. 1.50 Lakhs Rs le kar wo muskuraate hue waapas aa gaya.
"mil gaye paise? khush ho ab tum?"
"abhi kahan. yeh to sirf shuruaat hi hai. abhi to humaari jodi khoob rang layegi." vikas khushi mein bola
"achcha suno. main kuch din ke Rahul ke yahan jaa raha hoon. main dekhta hoon ke wo kya khichdi pakaa raha hai. tum yahan sambhal loge?"
"bilkul sambhaal lunga main" vikas ne khushi mein kaha aur cupboard mein paise rakhne chal pada. prem ko shanka thhi ke pata nahin yeh sambhal payega ya nahin, lekin wo fir bhi chal pada rahul ke ghar ki ore.
idhar vikas saara paisa sambhal ke chal pada nidhi ke ghar. ghar mein se nidhi ke zor zor se hasne ki awaazein aa rahi thhi. vikas ne bell bajayi to nidhi ne aa ke darwaaza khol diya.
"ohh vikas.. aao andar. main phone pe hoon. bas thoda time do mujhe"
"haan haan zarur." kehte hue vikas hall mein baith gaya aur tv dekhne laga. thodi der mein nidhi phone rakh ke waapas aayi.
"haan vikas bolo. kya chal raha hai"
"kuch zyada nahin. ek ghode pe daav lagaya tha. jeet gaya aaj. 1 lakh ka fayda ho gaya. chalo aaj raat ko party karte hain"
"arrey waah yeh to bahut achchi baat hai. lekin mujhe pata nahi... party varty mein main zyada interested nahi hoon."
"Kab tak aise til til ke marti rahogi nidhi... chalo mere saath. thoda bahar jayenge. ghoomenge firenge. thodi daru peeyenge aur waapas aa jayenge"
"na baba na.. daru pee kar main bilkul control se bahar ho jati hoon. yeh plan rehne do. itna hi clebrate karne ka mood hai to kahin chal ke kuch achcha khaa ke aa jaate hain"
"arrey khaana to kabhi bhi khaa sakte hain, chalo na plz plz plz" vikas gidgadate hue bola, "waise bhi main to tumhaare saath rahunga hi. zyada nahin peene dunga"
"chalo theek hai tum insist karte ho to. Rahul ko bhi bula loon" nidhi ne poocha aur vikas ka muh ek dam latak gaya maano jaise kisi ne 4 thappad maar diye ho gaal pe, "he he he. main mazaak kar rahi thhi. maine kal tumhaara chehra dekha thha jab rahul ke aane se tumhaare pet pe laat pad gayi thhi. hum dono hi jayenge. kitne baje chalein?"
"abhi 5 baj rahe hain. main 8 baje aata hun. fir chalte hain."
"theek hai vikas. par dhyan rakhna mera" chehre par masoomiyat laate hue nidhi ne bola.
"zarorr rakhunga. aakhir dost hote hi kis liye hain" kehte hue vikas nidhi ke ghar se bahar nikal ke apne ghar ki ore chal pada.
ghar jaa kar vikas ne socha ke chalo thodi safai hi kar li jaye ghar ki aur ghar ki safai mein jut gaya. usko pata thha ke agar wo 8 bajne ka intezaar karne laga to ek ek pal uske upar hathode ki tarah padega. isliye kabhi safai mein, to kabhi tv dekhne mein to kabhi kapde dhone mein usne apne aap ko busy rakha. dekhte hi dekhte 8 baj gaye. vikas ek dum tayyaar tha aur sahi time pe nidhi ke ghar pahunch gaya. ghanti bajayi to koi reply nahi aaya. 2-3 baar usne ghanti bajayi aur fir check kiya to darwaza khula hua tha. usko laga ke nidhi kahin paas mein gayi hogi to wo andar ghus gaya intezaar karne ke liye. usne socha ke nidhi ko surprise dega, lekin andar to uske liye surprise thha. jaise hi wo andar ghusa, usne dekha ke nidhi ek toliye mein lipat kar, bathroom se bahar aa rahi hai. usko dekhte hi nidhi ki cheekh nikal gayi aur uska toliya girne hi waala tha ke nidhi ne usse pakkad liya.
"ohh tum ho, maine socha pata nahi kaun andar ghus aaya hai" nervously nidhi boli. "waise bahut handsome lag rahe ho in kapdon mein"
"arrey baatein baad mein karenge pehle jaldi se kuch pehen ke aa jao. mera mann dol gaya ya koi aur aa gaya to lene ke dene pad jayenge tumhein" vikas ek shaitaani hasi ke saath bola. nidhi daud ke apne bedroom mein ghus gayi aur darwaaza band kar liya. vikas ka yahan nidhi ke baare mein soch soch kar bura haal ho raha tha. Nidhi ko iss halat mein dekh, uske tan mein aag lag gayi thhi. Prem ka kaam karte karte wo jaise bhool hi gaya tha ke nidhi kaisi bala ki si khubsurati samate hue hain apne mein. aaj usko fir ehsaas hua un chaar saalon ka jo usne nidhi ko sirf dekhte hi dekhte guzaar diye thhe. agar usne tab kuch keh diya hota to aaj shayad nidhi uske saath hoti aur dono bahut khush hote. inhi baaton mein wo khoya hua tha ke nidhi waapas aa gayi
"kin khayalon mein khoye hue ho vikas? kahin party jaane ka idea bura to nahin lag raha? agar lag raha hai to bahut achchi baat hain, main kapde waapis change kar leti hoon"
"arrey nahi, thoda kaam ke baare mein soch raha tha" vikas ne bola aur nidhi ki taraf dekha. nidhi ko dekhte hi jaise uska dil dhadakna band ho gaya. kaale rang ki cocktail dress mein nidhi gazab dhaa rahi thi. uski aankhon mein fir wo chamak ki jhalak vikas ko dikhi jo kabhi college mein dikha karti thhi. nidhi ko dekhkar usse aisa laga jaise koyle ki khaan se koi bada hi tarasha hua nayaab hira nikal raha ho. usko ab yakeen ho chala tha ke bhagwaan ne nidhi ko bahut hi fursat mein banaya hai aur vikas ka janam sirf isliye hua hai taaki wo nidhi ko khush rakh sake.
"arrey mujhmein bhi kaam dikh raha hai kya?? itni ghoor ke kyun dekh rahe ho" nidhi ne muskurate hue poocha. shayad wo iska jawaab mann hi maan jaanti thhi.
"arrey nahi yaar. tum mujhe handsome keh rahi ho. khud ko nahi dekha aaine mein?? ek dam kayamat lag rahi ho. mujhe to sach mein pata hi nahi tha ke tum itni sundar ho. ab to mujhe sach mein darr lag raha hai ke main aaj raat tumhaara khayal rakh paunga ya nahi, aur agar rakh liya to fir mujhse kaun bachayega"
"ha ha ha. ab chalna hai ya yahin pe khade ho kar baatein karni hai"
"arrey bilkul chalna hai. tum tayaar ho to chalo"
Dono ek 5 star hotel ke badiye se disco mein gaye. 11 baje tak wahan rahe, khoob khaaya, peeya. disco band hone ka time hua jab tak dono kaafi talli thhe. dono ne ek auto pakda aur ghar ki taraf chal pade. poora raasta dono koi na koi ajeeb baatein karke haste rahe. auto se utre to dimag zabardast hil raha tha. kisi tarah se auto waale ko niptaa kar life mein chadhe.
"mujhe apne ghar le chalo vikky"
"kyun kya hua" khushi ke maare vikas ka dil itni zor se dhadakne laga ke usse laga ke abhi muh ke raaste bahar hi aa jayega
"mera sar bahut chakra raha hai. mujhe thodi coffee peeni hai. nahi to raat bhar pareshaani hoti rahegi. maine tumhein kaha tha ke mera khayal rakhna aur tum khud itna kheech gaye... sharaabi kahin ke" aadi tedhi disha mein chalti nidhi boli to vikas bhi jaane kyun has pada. wo usse apne kamre mein le aaya.
"aa to gaye. ab coffee kaun banayega"
"tum bana do na plz plz. mujh se khada bhi nahin raha jayega"
"arrey maine tumse 2 guna peeya hai. meri halat socho."
"tum to superman ho. bana do na. plz plz. chalo dono chalte hain" kehte hue nidhi uthi aur vikas ka haath pakkad ke zor zor se kheechne lagi
"arrey mera baaju ukhaad ke le kar jaogi kya. ruko. chal raha hoon" kehte hue vikas utha aur kitche ki taraf chal pade dono. nidhi se seedha nahi chala jaa raha tha to usne vikas ki baahon mein haath daal liya aur uske kandhe par sir rakh ke chali jaa rahi thi. "arrey yeh coffee ka dibba to khatam hai"
"arrey haan yaad aaya subah mujhe se gir gayi thi safai karte hue. sorry" nidhi ne bola. uska chehra vikas ke kaan ke paas hone ke karan, vikas ko aisa anubhav hua jaise wo kisi loudspeaker mein bol rahi ho.
"ab sorry keh ke kya hoga meri jaan, chalo main tumhein ghar chhod doon" vikas ne khijte hue bola
"mujhe ghar nahin jaana, mujhe neend nahi aayegi"
"main tumhein sula ke hi aaunga nidhi. chalo ab mere saath"
"promise?"
"promise." kehte hue vikas ne nidhi ko thoda sa kheecha jisse wo poori tarah vikas ke upar aa giri
"he he he. tumhein shayad mujhe uthaa ke le jaana padega. main chal nahi sakti, yeh pakka hai"
"hey bhagwaan kahan phans gaya" vikas ne socha aur nidhi ko utha liya. nidhi ne apne dono haath uske gale mein daal liye aur sar uske kandhe pe tika diya. ab vikas ko reh reh kar nidhi ke perfume ki smell aa rahi thhi, jo usko bahut uttejit kar rahi thhi. usko darr tha ke uttejna aur nashe se kahin uske haath se nidhi neeche na gir jaye. kisi tarah se wo nidhi ko uske ghar le kar gaya aur bistar par patka. "shukra hai pahunch gayi theek thaak" soch kar wo muda, par nidhi ne uska haath pakkad liya
"tumne promise kiya tha ke mujhe sula ke jaoge" masoomiyat se wo boli
"zarur"
"to aao aur mere paas baitho"
vikas nidhi ke paas baith gaya aur uske baalon mein haath ferne laga. 4 saal ka uska pyaar aaj poori tarah se umad raha tha. uska mann kar raha tha ke yeh raat kabhi khatam na ho aur wo aise hi yahan baitha rahe.
"tum kya sochne lag gaye vikky"
"kuch nahin nidhi"
"jhoot mat bolo aur batao"
"tumhein dekh raha tha nidhi"
"main tumhein bahut achchi lagti hoon na vikky"
"haan nidhi tum mujhe bahut achchi lagti ho"
"tum bhi mujhe bahut achche lagte ho vikas. tumhaare jaisa dost mujhe aaj tak nahi mila." vikas bas chup chaap usko dekh raha tha. uska mann hi nahi bhar raha tha aaj nidhi se. achanak se hi nidhi uthi aur uske gaalein mein apni baahein daal ke, uske hothon ko apne hothon se daba diya. isse pehle vikas kuch samajh paata, nidhi ke hoth dheere dheere uske neeche waale hoth ko choosne lage. ab yeh sharab ka asar tha ya kuch aur, yeh to pata nahi, lekin vikas ko bahut mazaa aane lag gaya tha. usse laga jaise saalon se registan mei nchalte hue jaise achanak hi usse thande paani ki jheel mil gayi ho. ussne sab baaton ko dimag se nikal diya aur poori tarah se iss pal mein doob gaya, jaise nidhi doobi hui thi
Nidhi ke bhi pure mann mein jaise aag lagi hui thhi. sochne samajhne ki shakti to jaise bilkul khatam ho hi gayi thhi. usko kuch nahi dikh raha tha ke saamne kaun hai aur kyun hai. bas usko itna pata tha ke uske saath ek aadmi hai, jiske saath wo kisi bhi haal mein sambhog karna chahti thhi. usne vikas ke hothon pe jaise apne hothon ki baarish kar di thhi. fir dheere dheere wo unko chabane lagi.
ab vikas ke liye to yeh saare anubhav bilkul naye thhe. usne socha ke kuch kar ke kaam bigaadne se achcha hai nidhi jaisa karna chah rahi hai, chup chaap waisa karte raho. Dheere dheere nidhi uske hothon ko choomte hue apni jeebh uske muh mein daalne lagi to usne jhat se muh khol diya aur uska daat seedha nidhi ke hoth pe laga jisse khoon aane laga. Vikas darr ke maare nidhi ka hoth choosne laga aur nidhi jaise saatve aasmaan par pahunch gayi. har thodi der mein wo apni jeebh vikas ke muh mein daalti aur uski jeebh ke saath kushti karti. vikas ko yeh ehsaas bahut achcha lag raha tha. thodi der mein wo dono baahon mein baahein daal ke bistar pe let gaye. baat abhi choomne se aage badhi nahi thhi.
Vikas ne himmat karke dheere dheer apna hath uski jaangh pe rakha aur ferne laga. usne padha tha ke aurat yeh karne se aur horny ho jaati hai. ab nidhi se bhi raha nahi jaa raha tha. wo uthi aur ek jhatke mein apna top nikaal feka. vikas ko laga ke usse bhi yehi karna chahiye lekin habad dabad mein apni t shirt utaarte hue uski kohni nidhi ke naak pe jaa lagi. lekin zyaada zor se nahi. nidhi bas thoda sa peeche ke ore girne ko hui lekin sambhal gayi. vikas ne dekha ke nidhi ab sirf apni bra aur panty mein hi hai to usne bhi apni jeans utaar di. apni taango se jeans nikalne ke liye jaise hi vikas neeche jhuka, uska maatha zor se bed side table pe laga. usko chakkar aane lag gaye aur usse laga ke wo abhi gir jayega.
lekin aisa mauka usse baar baar nahi milne waala tha. bhaad mein jaaye sab kuch, aaj to usko nidhi ke saath kuch na kuch karna hi tha. Nidhi bistar pe leti usse aane ka ishaara kar rahi thi.. bhaag ke wo bistar ke paas gaya aur uska ghutna dhamm se bistar mein laga aur wo dard se karah utha aur bistar par gir gaya. fir bhi rengta hua nidhi ke paas gaya. nidhi samajh gayi thi ke vikas naya hai. usne bina kuch kahe vikas ko peeth pe bal laita diya aur khud uski taango pe baith kar dheere dheere hilne lagi. ab to chhota vikas bhi full-on salaami de raha tha. usko apni yoni ke paas rakh kar, nidhi dheere dheere hilne lagi. ragad se jo garmi usse mil rahi thi, wo usko bahut anand de rahi thhi. achanak se hi usse kuch chipchipa sa mehsoos hua vikas ke taangon ke beech. usne haath laga ke dekha to paya ke vikas jhad chuka hai. usne vika ske chehre ki taraf dekha to usko ek nervous smile mein paaya.
woh uske upar se utari aur uski underwear utaar kar phenk di. chhota vikaas dheere dheere apne bil mein waapas ghus raha tha. nidhi apne hothon se usko choomne lagi. fir surrp ki awaaz ke saath usko apne muh mein daal liya. muh mein lekar wo jaise usse khel rahi thhi. kabhi ek kone mein karti to kabhi doosre mein. lekin iska asar hone laga tha. chhota vikaas thoda sa jaag gaya tha. lekin bada vikaas badhaal ho raha tha. usse bilkul sahan nahi ho raha tha yeh. dheere ka karya shaitaan ka hota hai - aisa usse lag raha tha. wo chahta tha ke jaldi se chudai shuru ho.
dheere dheere nidhi uske ling ko muh ke andar bahar karne lagi. fir usne uspe apni jeebh firaana shuru kiya. uske aisa karte hi maano jaise vikaas ke shareer mein laakho watt ka current daud gaya ho. itna mazaa usse zindagi mein kabhi nahi aaya tha. vikas ke ling pe jeebh ferte hue nidhi ne apni bra bhi utaar feki. ab jaise jaise uska muh upar neeche hota vikaas ka ling choosne ko, waise hi uske mumme bhi upar neeche hote. yeh nazaara dekh kar vikaas se raha nahi jaa raha tha. uska mann kar raha tha ke aaj to wo unhein dabaa hi de. 4 saal sirf nihaare hai unko, aaj jab darshan hue hain to poori kasar nikal hi de.
Use aav dekha na taav, bas apna haath badha diyaun mummo ki taraf. nidhi poori tarah se uske ling pe concentrate kar rahi thhi. jaise hi wo usse poora ghusaane ke liye muh ko neeche kiya, uska maatha dhann se vikas ke badhte haath se takraya. sharaab aur madhoshi ke saath jab insan ko dard milta hai to uska result kuch ajeeb sa hi hota hai. maathe pe chot kha ke, nidhi ki nikli cheekh. nidhi apna maatha pakkad kar thoda udhar moodi aur bistar par gir gayi. ab iss ko zyaada daru ka asar kahiye, nidhi ki nadaani ya vikas ka bad luck, dham se bistar par girte hi wo zor zor se kharrate bhar ke sone lagi. Reh gaya chhota vikaas jo abhi abhi salaami dene ke liye khada hua tha. Ab uska alag se dimag to tha nahin, nahin to yeh hi sochta ke aaj fir haathon se hi kuchla jaayega. Vikas pehle to hairaani se nidhi ki taraf dekhta raha ke kahin wo marr to nahin gayi, uski saansein chalti dekh, vikas ne jhat se wahin hilaya, bistar pe jhaada aur apne kapde pehen ke apne room mein jaa kar so gaya.
Jab vikas so ke utha to dopahar ke 2 baj gaye thhe. usne socha ke pata nahi kyun Aaj nidhi nahi aayi. wo naha dho ke fresh hua aur fir Nidhi ke ghar ki taraf chal pada. aur kuch to tha nahin us ke pas karne ko. Chalte chalte reh reh ke uske dimaag mein raat ki baatein aati thhi. sab kuch theek se to yaad nahi tha lekin dhundhla dhundhla to tha. Usko apne upar thodi sharam bhi aa rahi thi ke aaram se sex bhi nahi kar paya aur glaani bhi ke usne ek daru mein dhutt ladki ke saath sex karne ki koshish kari. lekin asal mein thha to sex, aur usne to shuru bhi kiya nahi tha, isliye mainly wo khush hi tha.
Jaa kar usne darwaaze ki ghanti bajayi. thodi der mein nidhi ne darwaaza khola. Uski aankhein ekdam laal thhi. vikas ko dekhte hi usski aankhein jhuk gayi.
"Plz mujhe akela chhod do. main abhi tumse koi baat nahi karna chahti" kehte hue usne darwaaza patak diya
ab vikas ko aaya gussa. na iski galti na kuch, aise kaise wo iske muh pe darwaza maar sakti hai. Usne fir ghanti bajayi, lekin darwaaza nahi khula. usne darwaaze ko knock karna shuru kiya, "nidhi meri baat suno, please darwaaza kholo. mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai"
"vikas plz mujhe chhod do abhi. mujhe koi baat nahi karni"
"nidhi pagal mat bano aur darwaaza kholo. nahin to main tod ke andar ghus jaunga. kis galti ki sazaa de rahi ho apne aap ko kamre mein band kar ke. kyun mujhe ko bhi apne saath sataa rahi ho nidhi plz darwaaza kholo"
Itna shor-sharaaba sun ke watchman bhi upar aa gaya.
"kya hua sahab, koi pareshani hai kya"
"tu chup kar yaar aur jaa neeche. teri zarurat hogi to bula lunga upar" vikas ne gusse mein kaha watchman se
"sahab aise mat boliye. yeh humaara kaam hai. aap aise kisi ke dossre ke ghar mein nahi ghus sakte"
"abbe kahe ka kaam. tu jaata hai ke dun abhi rakh ke kaan ke neeche. tujhe bol diya na ke koi zarurat hogi to bula lunga. ab dimag ka aur dahi mat kar aur nikal yahan se"
itna shor sun ke nidhi ne darwaaza khol diya, "kyun itna shor macha rahe ho ?? pagal ho gaye ho kya"
"dekhiye na memsahab, hum sahab ko bol rahe hain ke apne kamre mein jaiye par wo ulta humein hi dhamka rahe hain"
"main inki taraf se sorry maangti hoon. aap jaiye, main dekh lungi" nidhi ne kaha to watchman jaldi se neeche chala gaya.. usse pehle se hi darr tha ke sach main kahin vikas jadd ne de usko.
"kya bakwaas hai yeh nidhi. kyun mere muh par darwaaza band kar diya tumne?"
"vikas maine tumhein kaha na ke plz mujhe akela chhod do." kehte hue nidhi ne fir darwaaza band karne ki koshish kari. par iss baar vikas ne darwaaza pakkad liya.
"nahi. nahi chhodunga main tumhein akela. aur chhodu bhi kyun? jo kiya hum dono ne kiya. iska upay bhi hum dono hi nikalenge" kehta hua vikas nidhi ke ghar mein ghus gaya.
"ab reh kya gaya hai vikas. maine kal tumhein kaha tha ke tumhein mujhse sambhalna hai. tumne waada kiya tha ke tum mujhe sambhaloge. fir kaise tumne yeh sab hone diya vikas." nidhi jhallate hue boli
"tum aise bol rahi ho jaise mere paas koi chaabi thi jisse maine tijori khol di aur chori ho gayi. main bhi peeya hua tha, nahi rakh paya khud pe control to kya karun? jaan logi kya meri. aur waise bhi humaare beech mein aisa kuch ho nahi paya..."
uss ka yeh kehna tha ke nidhi khilkila ke has padi. aankhe gusse aur sharam se laal thhi par hasi jharne ki tarah phoot rahi thhi. pehle to vikas ko kuch samajh nahi aaya, fir achanak se hi dhyaan aaya ke wo uske upar has rahi hai. ab vikas ka dimag aur kharab ho gaya. wo guse se cheekhne hi waala tha ke usko prem ki baat yaad aayi ke agar gusse mein ho to jo bolna hai pehle dimag mein apne aap se bol ke dekho. agar wo theek lagta hai, to zor se bolo. Bas uske itna sochne bhar ki der thhi ke uska dimag thoda shaant hua. Jab usne nidhi ko haste dekha to usko bhi hasii aane lag gayi.
"ab has kya rahe ho besharam ki tarah. kaise pagal ho tum" nidhi ne haste hue kaha
"ab theek hai... jo hua so hua. jaan logi kya meri. kal to keh rahi thhi ke hota hai aisa" vikas ne bholi si awaaz mein kaha
"kya tum pehli baar kisi ladki ke itna kareeb aaye thhe?"
"haan" vikas fir blush karte hue bola "aaj tak yeh sirf movies mein hi dekha tha. jab sach mein hua to control nahi hua"
"vikas jo kuch bhi hua, galti se hue. daru ke nashe mein hua. plz isko seriously mat lena."
"Nidhi.. kya tum mujhse.."
"plz vikas plz aage mat bolna. hum dono achche dost hain. mujhe bas itna hi pata hai. main abhi kisi serious relationship ke liye tayaar nahi hoon. plz mere dost ki tarah raho"
"dost ne subah se khaana nahi khaya hai. kuch hain tumhaare paas?"
"nahin maine bhi nahi banaya. manga lete hain. baith jao"
Thodi der tak wo dono idhar udhar ki baatein karte rahe aur fir khaana kha liya.
"aaj raat ka kya program hai nidhi?"
"aaj raat hum teeno mere ghar pe khaana khayenge. Rahul khaana le kar aa raha hai. kuch bolne ki zarurat nahi hai, tum aa rahe ho. bas." nidhi ne aakhri baat vikas ke muh kholte hi boli
"arrey usko bolo ke wo na le kar aaye. wo kam le kar aata hai. hum le aayenge."
"maine usse bol diya hai. wo zyada le kar aayega. Aur please uske saamne kal raat ka koi zikr mat karna"
"chalo theek hai, issi bahaane Rahul se mulaqat hogi. dekhun to kaun hai wo mahapurush jo parayi stree ka itna khayal rakhta hai"
"he he he. mujhe jalne ki boo aa rahi hai"
"main kyun jalne laga tumhaare liye? hum to sirf dost hai na.. dost jalte thode na hai" kehta hua vikas khada hua. "chalo main waapas jaata hoon. raat mein aaoonga" kehte hue wo bahar nikal gaya.
"kya hua. kyun itna shor machaya hua hai? dekhte nahi ke baat kar raha tha usse" bahar aa kar prem pe bigadte hue bola
"aaj Rahul nidhi se milne aa raha hai."
"pata hai mujhe. main bhi dinner pe invited hoon. kuch pata chala rahul ke baare mein?"
"zyaada nahi. Shayad aaj wo nidhi ko propose karne walaa hai. kal usne ek diamond ring khareedi hai"
"achchi baat hai"
"kya achchi baat hai vikas?? mujhe nahi lagta ke Rahul Nidhi ke liye sahi ladka hai"
"tumhein lagne ka kya hai? tumhein thodi shaadi karni hai. tumse kaun puchega ?? aur agar pooch bhi liya kisi ne to tumhaari awaaz to bas mujhe sunayi padti hai" kehta hua vikas hasne laga
"vikas mazaak ke mood mein nahi hoon main. main rahul ke baare mein kuch aur information pata karna chahta hoon. please aaj usse propose mat karne dena"
"dekhta hoon" kehkar vikas ne prem ko to mana liya, par usska khud ka dil zor zor se dhadak raha tha. wo nahi chahta tha ke manzil ke itne paas aa kar bhi wo manzil se door ho jaye. Rahul ka to kuch aisa karna padega ke usse long term chutkaara mil jaye. lekin aisa kiya kya jaye... Vikas issi soch mein doob gaya
Vikas sochte sochte thakk gaya ke kaise nipta jaye Rahul se lekin usko koi idea nahi aa raha tha. Usne Prem se bas Rahul ki 4-5 girl friends ki details le li aur socha ke kisi tarah darra dhamka ke Rahul ko rok lega. shaam hui aur waapas Prem, Nidhi aur Vikas ek hi room mein aa gaye. Vikas aise hi idhar udhar ki baatein kar raha tha. Usne notice kiya ke Nidhi thodi gumsum si hai.
"Kya hua nidhi. itni serious kyun ho?"
"Thodi problem mein phas gayi hoon. zyada nahin. nipat lungi kisi tarah se"
"hadh ho gayi hai yeh to. ab humaari dosti mein wo mukaam aa gaya hai jahan hum ek doosre se problems bhi share nahin karenge? bata to do, help nahi leni mat lena, kam se kam main kuch mazaak hi udaa lunga tumhaari problems ka"
"faltu ki baatein mat kiya karo vikas. har cheez mein mazaak nahi chalta"
"to batao na sara chakkar kya hai. kyun bheja fry kar rahi ho"
"prem to meri zindagi se chala gaya hai magar uski wajah se aani problems khatam nahi hui hai abhi tak" itna sunna tha ke prem samajh gaya ke kya hua hoga aaj. jiska darr tha wahi hua. aakhir wo log nidhi tak pahunch hi gaye
"kya hua ab nidhi? batao mujhe. ho sakta hai main kuch madat kar sakun."
"mujhe bataye bina prem ne underworld se 50 lakhs ka loan uthaya tha aur obviously repay nahi kiya. aaj unka phone aaya tha. 3 din ka time hai mere paas. they are threatening to take my life"
"Ab yeh kahan fassa diya bechaari ko haramkhor. saale main agar aaj tujhe zinda kar paata na, to zinda kar ke teri mundi kaat deta" Vikas ne socha
"ghar ke liye uthaya tha. saara paisa account mein hai. wahan se nikal ke repay ho jayega"
"pata nahi kyun mujhe feeling aa rahi hai ke yeh itna aasaan nahi hoga"
"itna aasaan hota to main pehle din hi tumhein bol deta. tumhein mere bhesh mein jaana hoga aur us bank se paise nikalne honge. its a secret bank. usmein paisa jama karna jitna mushkil hai, usse kahin mushkil hai paisa bahar nikalna. mere ko koi problem nahi aayi thhi kyunki mera aur papa ka joint account thha. ab kisi tarah se kuch karna padega paisa nikalne ke liye"
"sharam kar thodi saale. pehle mere se kitni chhoti help maangi thi - nidhi tak teri baat pahunchaane ki, fir Rahul ka patta kaatne ko manaya... ab dacaiti karayega. dimag ki maa-behen ek kar di hai tune. saala uss din main uss truck ke neeche aaya hi kyun"
"tu aisa bol raha hai jaise free mein kaam kar raha hai. chal chhod yeh baatein. nidhi se meri savings ke baare mein pooch aur bank ki details nikalwa"
"kya soch rahe ho itni der se vikas? dont worry. i dont expect you to help me in this. bahut badi rakam hai"
"na na wo baat nahi hain. mujhe lagta nahin ke prem apni zindagi ke baare mein itna careless hua hoga. maana ke wo ek bahut luchcha, selfish aur ghatiya insaan tha, lekin mujhe lagta hai usne kahin na kahin kuch intezaam kiya hoga. tumhaare paas uske accounts details hain?"
p:- "aur koi gaaali deni hai to wo bhi bol de"
v:- "nahi ho gaya. chup kar aur mujhe kaam karne de"
n:- haan hai. aao bedroom mein
p:- uske bedroom main nahi jayega tu
v:- haan chalo bedroom mein chalte hain (kyun na jaoon bedroom mein be? tera bedroom nahi hai yeh)
n:- maine rakhe thhe almaari mein. abhi mil jayenge. (neha ne dhoondhte hue kaha)
v:- aaram se dhoondh lo. koi tension nahi hain. main bistar pe let jaata hoon (kehkar wo prem ko jalaane ke liye aaram se bistar par let gaya). waise Rahul kab aa raha hai?
n:- aata hi hoga.
v:- usko bata diya kya?
n:- usko kyun bataungi? usko nahi bataya
p:- kaho ke usko bata de. dekhte hain kitna help karne ko tayaar hota hai wo
n:- aur haan tum bhi usko kuch nahi batana. main nahi chahti ke kisi teesre ko iss baat ka pata chale.
v:- okay.
tabhi darwaaze ki ghanti baji.
n:- lagta hai aa gaya. tum darwaaza kholo. main papers dhoondhti hoon
v:- bahut achche. ab naukar ka kaam bhi karwa lo mujh se.
n:- uff.. tum bhi na. ruko. main hi kholti hoon. gahde kahin ke
kehte hue nidhi darwaaze ki taraf gayi aur vikas lapak ke almaari ke paas hua. usne dekh liya tha ke unke college ki graduation photo neeche gir gayi hai. wo nahi chahta thha ke nidhi uss photo ko dekhe aur vikaas ko pehchaane. usne wo photu utha ke peeche rakh di.
n:- hye rahul. aao aao. u r looking dashing.
r:- thanx nidhi. yeh lo khaana. itna laaya hoon ke poori cricket team kha jaayegi.
n:- issko wahan kitchen mein rakh do na plz. main thoda kaam karwa rahi thhi vikas se. tum yahan baitho, i will join u in 5 minutes.
v:- hi rahul. kaise ho. (vikas photo chupa ke aa chuka thha)
r:- main theek hoon. tum batao. main bhool gaya hoon ke kabhi nidhi ke ghar aaya hoon ya usse baat kari ho aur tum aas paas na ho.
v:- arrey yahi hoti hai asli dost ki nishani. occassionally nahin, regularly madat karte hain (nidhi bedroom mein jaa chuki thhi)
r:- arrey agressive kyun hota hai yaar. chill maar. aur bata kya chal raha hai
v:- kuch zyada nahin. bas subah se yahin pe hoon. time pass kar raha hoon
r:- bada master aadmi hai tu to. main to tujhe pehli baar dekhte hi samajh gaya tha ke tu ekdum master aadmi hai. behen ki madat karne sabse pehle aayega
v:- abe behen nahi hai wo meri. dost hai. bahut achchi
r:- achchaaa.. bahut achchi dost hai to tum uske baare mein jaante bhi bahut hoge
v:- haan. kaafi jaanta hoon
r:- dekh yaar main usko propose karne ka soch raha hoon. tum bataoge ke usko kya achcha lagta hai?
v:- lund.
r:- what !!!
v:- usko lund bahut achcha lagta hai. lekin exact size ka.
r:- kya bakwaas kar raha hai tu !!! sharam nahi aati aisi baat karte hue
v:- ab sach bolo to duniya ko wo bhi gawara nahin. ussne apne sab boy friends se breakup kiya kyunki unka lund chhota tha. pati ka murder karwa diya kyunki uska kuch zyaada bada tha
r:- itni gandi baat soch bhi kaise sakte ho tum
v:- abhi andar zameen jaydaad ke documents dhoondh rahi hai. dekhna abhi mujhe degi taaki main kal jaa kar wo saari cheezein unke maa baap se cheen lun
r:- shut up vikas. its not funny anymore.
n:- vikas zara idhar aana.
v:- main ek minute aaya (hothon par badi muskaan liye vikaas bedroom mein chala gaya)
n:- yeh rahe saare bank accounts ke documents.
"okay" keh kar usne wo documents liye aur apni jeans mein stuff kar liye iss tarah ke unka thoda end jab se bahar ho aur nidhi ke saath drawing room mein aa gaya. "main yeh achchi tarah se inko padhta hoon aur kal batata hoon tumhein ke hum kya kar sakte hain. kaise wo sab ceezein waapas le sakte hain" usne Rahul ko sunaane ke liye yeh sab zor se bola.
Rahul ka chehra udhar dekhne layak tha. usko pakka yakeen tha ke vikas mazaak kar raha tha. par jo usne isko kaha ussi ke aagey waali baat nidhi se bhi kar raha hai. kahin vikas sach to nahi keh raha tha.... nahin yeh mumkin nahi hai... itna soch ke usne decide kiya ke engagement ring thode aur dinon tak uski jeb mein hi rahe to achcha hoga
n:- sorry rahul. chalo kaam khatam ho gaya. ab aaram se baatein karte hain
r:- kya dhoondh rahe thhe
v:- arrey bataya to tha tumhein kuch kagazaat thhe
n:- haan prem ke kuch kagaz thhe. vikas ko dikha rahi hoon. shayad wo madat kar sake meri
r:- oh achcha. aur batao kya chal raha hai. kal raat kya kiya
n:- kuch nahin, main aur vikas bahar gaye thhe. khaana khaaya aur aa gaye ghar pe. tum batao. (vikas nidhi ke yeh baat sunkar khush ho gaya. uske thode point badh gaye thhe rahul ke aage)
r:- kuch nahin. bas ghar pe aise hi baitha tha. movie dekh raha tha
v:- varsha se nahin mile kal
r:- (shakal se rang udd gaya uski) kaun varsha
v:- varsha gupta. arrey wo icici mein kaam karti hai jo
r:- main kyun milne laga usko
v:- kyun nahi miloge yaar. main to samjha tha ke uske saath tumhaara serious chal raha hai
n:- vikas in dono ka breakup hue kaafi time ho chuka hai. rahul ne mujhe bataya tha
r:- yaar tum mere upar nigrani rakh rahe ho kya??
v:- arrey nahin. asal mein varsha mili thhi 2 din pehle. wo pooch rahi thi ke tumhein jaanta hun ke nahin. usne mujhe breakup waali baat nahi batayi (vikas ne kisi tarah se baat ko sambhalne ki koshish kari. uska daav ulta pad gaya tha) aur batao, tumhaare ghar mein aur kaun kaun hai
r:- akela hoon. maa baap ka bachpan mein dehant ho gaya tha
v:- hey bhagwaan. maa baap ka bachpan mein dehant ho gaya tha to tum kaise hue?? mangal grah se speed post mein aaye kya
Ab nidhi zor zor se hasne lgi iss baat ko sunkar. vikas khush ho raha tha ke wo rahul ko uncomfortable kar raha hai. par pata nahi kyun usko lag raha tha ke rahul ek seedha insaan hai aur uske saath theek nahi kar raha wo.
r:- kya faaltu ki baat kar raha hai yaar. unke bachpan mein nahi, mere bachpan mein hua unka dehant. dada dadi ne paala. unke saath hi rehta hoon ab
n:- rahul dont mind par vikas bahut mazaakiya hai. sab se badi baat yeh hai ke isko pata nahi hai ke kya mazaak kab karna chahiye. kuch bhi kahin bhi bol deta hai. thoda pagal hai, par dil ka achcha hai
r:- dil ka kya achcha hai? tab se mera mazaak uda rahaa hai. maine bakri churayi hai kya iski??
v:- arrey yaar dil pe mat le. chal chhod.
n:- dekho vikas. yeh har waqt tum aise behave mat kiya karo. rahul itna achcha ladka hai, uska mazaak kyun udaate ho
v:- chalo ab mazaak udaana band. rahul pani peeyoge
r:- main wine laaya hoon.
v:- to wine peeyoge?
r:- zarur. tabhi to laya hoon
v:- to jab apne liye lene jao to hum dono ke liye bhi le aana. thoda gala sookh sa raha hai. (uska itna hi kehna tha ke wo aur nidhi fir se has pade)
r:- laata hoon saale laata hoon. ruk jaa. mera bhi samay aayega. tab dikhaata hoon
n:- arrey tum ruko rahul. main laati hoon. tum dono pyaar baato yahan (khilkhilaate hue andar chali gayi)
r:- yaar tujhko problem kya hai?
v:- tu meri problem hai. mujhe to pasand nahi hai
r:- kya bigaad diya hai maine tumhaara
v:- wo to waqt hi batayega. abhi ke liye itna information kaafi hai
r:- yaar maine socha tha tu meri help karega. tu to meri raah ka kaanta ban raha hai
v:- main koi help nahi karta kisi ki. ek bande ki help karni chaahi, usne itna bura phasa diya hai ke samajh nahi aa raha kya karun
r:- ekk baat poochun?
v:- nahin.
r:- kahin tum nidhi se..... (tabhi nidhi aa gayi aur unki baat kat gayi)
n:- lo aa gayi wine bhi. kya baat ho rahi thhi
v:- kuch nahin. aise hi ulti seedhi baatein kar raha tha rahul
n:- main nahi maanti. rahul tumhaari tarah nahi hai
r:- chalo chhodo in baaton ko. kis pachde mein phas gaye hain sabhi. (kehte hue rahul ne TV on kar diya aur music channel laga diya )
issi tarah se shaam guzarti rahi aur vidaai ka samay ho gaya. rahul pehle hi bahut uncomfortable feel kar raha tha apne upar jokes ko le kar isliye jaldi hi chal diya. nidhi, vikas aur prem reh gaye to vikas ne bank ke documents ko khol diya.
v:- kaun sa bank hai yeh. thoda vistaar se batao.
n:- pata nahin kya hai. lekin prem ne ek baar bataya tha ke yahan se paise nikalne mein bahut mushkilein aati hain. isliye maine kabhi koshish nahi kari. waise bhi uska aur uske papa ka joint account hai. to main to kahin se bhi picture mein nahin hoon
p:- yeh black money ko chupaane waala bank hai. yahan se paisa nikalne ke liye mujhe wahan hona bahut zaruri hai. mera sign lagega, kuch verification questions pooche jayenge. maine form bharte hue jo kuch bhi likha tha, wo poocha jayega. agar koi shakk hua to mere papa ko phone kiya jayega
v:- hmm aisa karte hain. main kal jaata hun iss bank mein. 3 din ki chuttu ki arzi maine online bhar di hain .dekhta hoon ke lafda kya hai saara.
n:- apna khayal rakhna vikas. kahin phas na jaana
v:- khayal rakhunga nidhi. (jitna abhi phasa hoon usse zyaada phasna to mumkin hai nahi aisa usne socha) chalo ab main chalta hoon. raat mein kuch jugaad ka sochta hoon
n:- ok vikas. good night. take care
v:- kal chalogi kya mere saath bank??
p:- bad idea. isko mat le kar jaana. koi lafda hua to yeh bhi phas jayegi. tujhe to nikalne ke liye main hoon, isko kaun nikaalega
n:- tum batao.. chalun kya?
v:- chalo rehne do. main dekhta hoon pehle ke lafda hai kya
n:- theek hain. main bhi 3 din ki chutti ki arzi de dungi. mujhe darr hai ke wo gunde kahin kaam pe na aa dhamke.
v:- baat to sahi hai. chalo ab kal dekhte hain. good night
ab vikas apne room mein pahunch gaya. uski halat kharab ho rahi thi. ek taraf itna dangerous kaam aur doosri taraf nidhi. nidhi ne jaise uske saare mastiksh pa rkoi jaadu kar diya thha. kuch bhi ho, wo uske khayal dimag se nahi nikal pata tha. usko apna haal bayaan bhi nahi kar paata thha yeh soch ke agar usne mana kar diya to uska kya hoga. prem ka kya hoga uski isko koi tension nahi thhi. nidhi ke baare mein sochte sochte vikas ko kab neend aa gayi, usko pata bhi nahi chala.
vikas ki haalat ko bayaan karta ek gaana
"abe uth saale. kitna soyega. bank nahi jaana kya" subah subah prem shuru ho gaya vikas ko uthaana. "chutti li hai iska yeh matlab nai hai ke shaam ko hi uthega. abhi chalte hain bank. aage ki planning bhi to karni hai"
"chalenge" kehta hua vikas doosri taraf muh kar ke so gaya
"lagta hai tu aise nahi maanega" kehte hue prem ne uske kaan ki taraf apni muh kiya aur zor zor se cheekhne laga
"kya hua" hadbadi mein vikas uth ke baitha
"kuch nahi hua. chalo tayyar ho. mujhe majboor mat karo ke main tumhein tortute karun" prem bahut utaawla tha kyunki uski wajah se hi nidhi pe itni mushkil aayi thhi
"haan haan uthta hoon" kehkar vikas bistar se uth gaya aur bathroom ki taraf jaane laga "ab peeche peeche andar bhi mat ghus jaana"
"aaj tak ghusa hoon kabhi?"
"aaj tak to mujhe chori karne ke liye bhi nahin kaha. aaj keh rahe ho naa" kehte hue vikas bathroom mein ghus gaya.
thodi der mein vikas ek dum tayyaar ho gaya jaane ke liye. "chalo main ek baar neha ke ghar hoke aata hoon. fir chalte hain"
"kyun jaa raha hai vahan?? rehne de. apan seedha chalte hain bank. itni kya jaldi padi hai"
"arrey ek baar dekh ke to aane do. kahin un gundon ne waapas pareshan to nahi kiya"
"badi chinta ho rahi hai tujhe" kehte hue dono chal pade nidhi ke flat ki ore. ghanti baji aur nidhi ne darwaaza khola aur apne hothon pe ungali rakh ke chup rehne ka ishaara kiya
"nahi kuch nahi rahul, wo vikas aaya hai. nahin nahin rakho mat. wo jaa hi raha hai" aur usne apni aankhon ke ishaare se vikas se poocha ke kya hua aur vikas ne bhi ishaaron mein samjha diya ke wo jaa raha hai bank
"yaar waise mujhe rahul bura aadmi nahi lagta.Ameer hai, successful hai, kind hai.." bank jaate hue vikas ne prem se bola
" tumhein kya lagta hai ke shaitaan jab aayega to kya apne laal seeng laga ke aayega ke logon dekho main aa gaya. darro mujhse ?? nahin... uske paas bhi ek achchi job hogi aur wo bhi khoob kama raha hoga. shayad charity bhi karega"
"to fir wo shaitaan kis baat ka? wo to devta samaan hi hua na"
"shaitaan isliye kyunki jab tum ek baar usse apna loge to wo tumhaari zindagi barbaad kar dega"
"hmm. waise mujhe to lagta hai ke rahul nidhi ke liye theek rahega. aur nidhi ko bhi shayad yeh hi lagta hai. tabhi poora waqt usse chipki rehti hai"
"mujhe aisa nahin lagta. mere khayal se humein nidhi ke liye ek ladka dhoondhna shuru karna chahiye. koi dhang ka banda milega, to apne aap rahul ko bhool jayegi"
"waise meri nazar mein hai ek ladka. job karta hai. theek thaak kamaa leta hai"
"hmm.. lamba hai?"
"zyada nahin. normal hi hai"
"bahut handsome hai?"
"zyada nahin. theek thaak"
"serious sa banda hoga, nahin to nidhi se kabhi milne ki ijaazat nahi dena usko. itne nuks usko kisi ek aadmi mein nahi pasand"
"serious to nahi hai. mast maula type hai thoda. thoda sa pet hai lekin zyaada nahi"
"nope. nahin banegi baat. main jaanta hoon nidhi ko"
"achcha.." kehte hue vikas thoda mayoos ho gaya
"ohh my god..."
"kya hua"
"tum apni baat kar rahe thhe.."
"wo..wo.."
"nahin tum sach mein apni baat kar rahe thhe.. tumne socha bhi kaise.." kehkar prem thahake laga laga ke hasne laga
"itna bhi funny nahin tha"
"arrey tum abhi mere saath ho isliye usse baat kar paate ho. tum mein aisa hai hi kya jo aisi hoor pari ko pata lo" haste hue prem ne bola
"mazaak kar raha tha. kyun dimag kha raha hai"
"arrey mazaak mein bhi.. tumne socha kaise..."
"saale bola na mazaak kar raha tha, bas khatam ho gayi baat ab" jhilaate hue vikas bola
"lo aa gaya bank. side mein rukwa do"
"abe yeh bank hai ke musuem" vikas ne andar ghus ke poocha. museum hi to tha wo. raja maharajao ke zamaane ki cheezein padi thhi wahan.
"wo reception dikh raha hai? wahan jaa ke uss ladki se pooch cigerette hai kya. wo jo kuch bhi kahe, uske baad kahiyo - darling mujhe apne haathon se ek cigerette pila do na" ab vikas gaya wahan aur keh diya jo prem ne kaha tha. waapas aaya to baya gaal ekdum surakh laal pada tha. kheech ke chappat khayi thi ussne us receptionist se. "aaj ke baad mazaak mein bhi mat sochna ke nidhi tumhaari ho sakti hai" prem ne kaha aur ishaara karte hue vikas ko apne peeche bulaya. wo ek kone mein gaye jahan guard khada tha. pooch isse ke prithviraj chauhan ka ghoda kahan milega"
"prithviraj chauhan ka ghoda kahan milega be" vikas ne bola
guard thoda side pe ho gaya aur dekha uske peeche ek darwaaza hai "yahan chale jaiye sahab, saare ghode yahin hain" kehte hue usne darwaaza khol diya. darwaaza ke andar jaa kar dekha to seedhiyan basement mein utar rahi thi. ujaala hone ke karan unhein neeche utarne mein koi dikkat nahi hui.neeche ek aur reception tha jo ki ek golakaar kamre ke beech mein tha. kamre ki deeware jaise lohe ki salaakhon se bani thhi aur har section ke peeche fir ek passage tha.
"isko bol ke account kholna hai" prem bola
"account kholne ke liye kya karna padega yahan pe" vikas ne uss aadmi se poocha. uska gaal abhi tak laal tha aur wo receptionist ussi ko dekh raha tha
"aapko kisne bheja hai? yahan pe sirf reference se hi accounts khulte hain"
p:- "bol shekhar shekhawat ne bheja hai"
"mujhe shekhar shekhawat ne bheja hai"
"zaroor zaroor baithiye sir. shekhawat ji to bahut purane customer hain. unke bete ka account bhi unhe ne hi khulwaya tha"
p:- poori security arrangement samajh isse ab
"mujhe security ki chinta hai"
"sir aap uski chinta mat kijiye. yeh jagah 24 ghante khuli rehti hai. kabhi bhi aaiye. yeh jitni salaakhein sekh rahe hain alag alag sections ki hain. har sections mein vault hain jo fully automatic hain. aapko unpe password dena hoga.ek baar password de diya, to aapki photo li jayegi. fir wo photo compare kari jayegi appki form ki photu se. agar password aur photu match hota hai, to vault khulega, nahin to saalkhein band ho jayengi aur 2 minute ke andar 25 guard yahan aa jayenge"
yeh sunkar vikas ki poori tarah phat gayi. usko yeh karya asambhav lagne laga tha. "hmm achcha hai. aisa karo, tum mujhe forms de do, main kal bhar ke aata hoon."
"kyun nahi sir. yeh lijiye. aaram se aaiyega. meri duty subah 8 se shaam 8 tak hoti hai. uske baad doosra banda milega. wo bhi aapki achchi tarah se help kar sakta hai"
"haan theek hai. laao forms. thanks. ek baat aur. mujhe apni email check karni thhi urgently. dekhna hai ke paise ka kya hua. kar sakta hoon?"
"zarur sir. mere comp pe baith jaiye. main thoda udhar ko khada ho jaunga"
"thanks" kehte hue vikas uske comp pe baith gaya
"kya kar raha hai yaar? aisi kaun si email hai"
"thodi tayyaari ke saath main bhi aaya hoon" kehte hue vikas ne ek hard disk numa cheez uske comp se jod di. "dekhen to yahan ka system kya hai" usne kuch button dabaye aur kuch files uss hard disk mein copy hone lagin. dekhane ke liye vikas ne apna email bhi khol diya. 2 minute mein saara data uski hard disk mein tha. "thank you very much yaar. tumne kaafi help kari. main aata hoon kal forms le kar" usne kaha aur prem ke saath bahar ho liya.
"yeh kya kar rahe thhe tum andar vikas"
"maine uske system ka software copy kar liya hai. ghar jaa ke test karunga ke main ismein hack kar sakta hoon ke nahin. agar kar paaya to bada aasan hoga."
"hmm. shikari lagte ho tum bhi"
"college mein masti ke liye karte thhe. pata nahin tha ke kabhi itni zarurat pad jayegi. chalo ghar chalte hain" kehte hue vikas ne taxi roki
"lekin in sab ke beech fasa to main hoon. main yahan atka nahin rehna chahta. lekin mujhe yeh bhi pata karna hai ke in dono ke beech kya chal raha hai. kal weekend hai, kal achchi tarah se pata karna padega."
"ab mujhe iss kaam mein mat dalo. pehle hi mujhe kya kya karna pada hai - khaana banana, ghar sawarna, bhookha waapas aana.. ab aur kuch nahi karunga. main main kaam chhodne ki soch raha hoon aur tum mujhe ek aur resposibility de rahe ho" jhooth mooth vikas ne bola. sach to yeh tha ke wo bhi Rahul ke aane se itna jal raha tha jitna ke prem. aakhir pyaar to uska bhi latka hua tha. usse bhi tension hona jaayaz tha.
"Dekh vikas yeh to tujhe karna hi padega. ab hum dost bhi ban gaye hain. itna to tumhein mere liye karna hi padega"
"kaahe ke dost ban gaye hain? main koi dost vost nahin hoon kissi murde ka. aur waise bhi mujhe kya faayda hoga? kaam pe meri concentration kam hogi, time mera waste hoga, mukti to tujhe hi milega na"
"main bhi tumhaari kaafi help kar sakta hoon"
"kaise" achaanak se hi vikas ko interest aa gaya
"dekho humaare paas bhi kuch powers hoti hain. tum meri madat karoge to main bhi pakka tumhaari madat karunga"
"maine to madat karna shuru bhi kar diya hai. tum bhi kuch karo" vikas bola
"kal shaam ko jo ghud sawaari ka contest hain, ghoda number 5 pe daav laga do. 3 guna paise milenge. main nahi chahta tha ke humaare beech mein aisa rishta ho. lekin tum agar yeh hi chahte ho to yeh hi sahi. lekin madat tumhein meri poori karni padegi"
"zarur karunga mere yaar. zarur karunga. bas mujhe paisa lagane de" vikas kuch bookies ko to jaanta hi thha. wo fatafat ghar se nikla aur bina kuch soche samjhe 50k laga diye ghoda number 5 par. jab usne paise laga diye aur waapas ghar aa raha tha, tab uske zehen mein yeh baat aayi ke agar prem jhoot bol raha tha to kya hoga... lekin khair jab okhli mein sar de hi diya hai to moosal se kya darna - aisa sochte hue wo ghar pe aaya aur so gaya.
agle din subah uske darwaze ki ghanti zor zor se bajne lagi. wo utha aur jaa ke darwaaza khola.Dekha ke nidhi khadi hai haath mein chaaye ka pyaala le kar. "err sorry itni jaldi uthaa diya tumhein. tumhaare yahan chai bana loon main?"
"kyun nahin. do cup bana do. main bhi peeyunga. agar zyada mehnat nahi ho to kuch naashte mein bhi bana do. raat ko ekele khaa ke pet nahi bhara" vikas ne kataksh karte hue kaha
"sorry baba. maine raat mein bhi tumse bola tha na sorry. mujhe sach mein pata nahi tha ke rahul aa raha hai nahin to main usko 3 log ka khaana laane ko keh deti. chalo main abhi tumhaare liye naashta bana deti hoon"
"theek hain. tum khaana banao. main potty ho aata hoon tab tak" yeh shabd muh se nikalte hi usse realize hua ke usse aisa nahin kehna chahiye tha, ek ladki ke saamne wo bhi subah subah. wo fatak se muda aur nidhi ki taraf dekhe bina hi toilet ki taraf chal pada.
Nidhi bhi naak sakod ke chali gayi kitchen ki taraf. ab bachelor ka kitchen hai to ganda to hoga hi. Nidhi ne pehle achchi tarah se saare kitchen ki safai kari, fir chaye aur nasta bana diya. lekar aayi to dekha vikas waapis bistre pe pada so raha hai. "vikky utho. main akele itna naashta nahin khaa sakti."
udi baba. nidhi ne to vikas ko vikky kaha, yeh sunte hi vikas ki aankhein 100 watt bulb ki tarah badi ho gayi. lagta hai uska jaadu () asar karne laga tha nidhi pe. jhat se vikas uth baitha. "arrey main to bas aise hi jhapki le raha tha. main aaya to dekha ke tum safai kar rahi ho. maine socha ke theek hi ho raha hai, isliye aa ke jhapki le li"
"bahut hi ghatiya kism ke insaan ho tum. zara si madat karne ki koshish bhi nahi kari"
"tum kaam karte hue itni achchi lag rahi thhi ke maine kuch kehna theek nahi samjha". vikas ne notice nahi kiya ke prem side mein khada tha aur mand mand muskura raha tha. prem ko pata nahi tha ke vikas itni achchi baat kaise kar raha hai. shayad so ke utha hai isliye dimag nahi chal raha prem ne socha
"bas bas. baatein banana band karo aur chalo nashta karte hain" kehte hue nidhi ne dining table pe khaana laga diya.
dono naashte pe aise toote jaise janamon se bhookhe ho. shayad nidhi ne bhi kal theek se khana nahi khaya tha aisa sochkar vikas khush ho raha tha.
"kal rahu itna thoda khaana laaya tha ke ek jane ke liye bhi poora na padta, bahut kanjoos lagta hai mujhe wo" nidhi ne bola aur vikas ke sapnon ka mahal dhamm se fir neeche aa gira.
"Waise yeh Rahul hai kaun? college ka friend hai kya" prem ke kehne par vikas ne poocha
"nahin. prem ka boss tha"
"kaun prem?"
"main abhi yeh baat nahi kar sakti. bahut dukhon se bhari hui hai meri zindagi. main tumhaare saamne apna pitaara nahi kholna chahti"
"arrey doosron ke dukh baantna to achchi baat hoti hai. khushi mein tum kisi ke saath raho na raho, gham mein zarur uske saath rehna chahiye. aur waise bhi mujhe lagta hai ke ab to hum dost ban gaye hain. to doston ko to ek doosre ke baare mein saari baatein pata honi chahiye na. chalo main shuruaat karta hoon. fir tumhaara dil kare to tum bhi bataana" prem ke kahe anusaar, vikas tote ki tarah bolta gaya. apni saari kahaani usne nidhi ko suna di. carefully apne college ka naam nahi bataya. "to yeh thhi meri kahani. jis vikas ko tum aaj dekh rahi ho, wo ek bahut hi bure mahaul se guzra hai. meri zindagi ka har din hathode ki tarah pada hai mujh par. lekin dekho, main aaj ek successful aadmi ban gaya hoon. zindagi mein biwi ke siva sab kuch hai. waise tum pehli ladki ho jisse maine dosti banayi hai .agar tum bhi mujh se dosti bana lo aur apni kahaani suna do to shayad hum dono ek doosre ka gham baant ke bahut khush ho jayenge" pehli baar itni badi conversation vikas ne prem ke kahe anusaar 100% nibha di thhi. prem to khush tha hi, nidhi ka chehra dekhkar vikas bhi bahut khush thha.
"vikas tum kabhi aise aadmi se mile ho jiske saath tum poora waqt rehte ho, jiski zimmedaari hai tumhaari dekhbaal karna, jo saamne se to bahut achcha lagta ho par jiska dil koyle ki tarah kaala ho?? shayad nahin. lekin prem ek aisa aadmi thha. majboori se wo mera pati thha. Jitna bhi samay humaari shaadi ko hua, mujhe lagta hai wo sab ek brahm tha. prem ne mujhse kabhi sach nahi bola. main samajhti rahi ke wo mujhse sach hi bolta hai, lekin ek din uske mobile ke msg padh kar mujhe ehsaas hua ke wo mere saath sirf formality hi kar raha hai. shayad uske ghar waalon ne zabardasti uski shaadi mere saath karwayi thhi. lekin iss mein mera kya kasoor?? usne mujhse kabhi utna pyaar nahi kiya jitna ek pati ko apni biwi se karna chahiye. Poora waqt mujhe jhoot bol kar kabhi dipti to kabhi anita aur kabhi nisha ke saath gulcharrey udaata tha. ek baar maine uske mobile mein msg padhe to mujhe sab kuch saaf ho gaya. main fir bhi kuch nahi boli. maine kaha der saver wo waapis mere paas aayega hi. lekin hum dono ke beech ki dooriyan badhti gayin. hum dono rehte to ek chhat ke neeche aur sote to ek palang pe thhe, magar humaare darmiyaan jaise ek bahut badi deewar thhi. is deewar ko laangh paana aur uss tak pahunchne ka mujhe koi chaara nahi dikh raha tha. ek baar wo ghar pe keh ke gaya ke office ke kaam ke liye 2 din bahar jaa raha hai. mujhe pata thha ke wo kisi ladki ke paas jayega lekin main kuch nahi boli. maine divorce ke paper file kiye hue thhe. uss din wo papers mere haath lag gaye.maine unki 2 copies banwayi, ek uske ghar pe bheji aur ek le kar uske office mein chali gayi. mujhe laga ke uske desk par rakh dungi taaki jab wo office jaye to usse wo dikh jaayein. wahan meri mulaqat ittefaq se Rahul se hui. usne bahut bahane maare Prem ko justify karne ke lekin mujhe sab baat pehle hi pata thhi. maine uski desk pe paper rakhe aur waapas aa gayi. agle din mera birthday thha. Mujhe to pata tha ke prem nahi aayega isliye maine pehle hi apni college friends ke saath bahar jaane ka program banaya tha. isse pehle main nikalti, Rahul ek guldasta le kar humaare ghar aaya aur mujhe diya. wo mujhe bola ke prem ne usse phone karke bola hai yeh guldasta le jaane ke liye aur prem ko shayad 2 din aur lag jayenge bahar. mujhe laga shayad mera pati itna galat nahi hai jitna main samajh rahi hoon ke tabhi shayad mere upar dukhon ka pahaad toot pada. phone ki ghanti baji aur mujhe soochna mili ke prem ghar aa raha tha aur raaste mein uska accident ho gaya hai" Nidhi ke aankhon se aansoo rukne ka naam nahi le rahe thhe. gala itna roondh gaya tha ke shabd bhi aaram se nahi nikal paa rahe thhe. uski halat dekh ke vikas ko bahut daya aa rahi thhi. usne prem ki taraf dekha to paya ke uski bhi aankhein nam thhi.
"Nidhi mujhe lagta hai maine tumhaare dil ka koi bahut dard bhara taar chhed diya hai. main nahi chahta ke tum apne aap ko mere liye aur dukh do. shayad se samay chup hi rehna theek hoga tumhaare liye." vikas paani ki bottle lekar aaya nidhi ke liye
"nahi vikas. yeh baatein mere andar kisi jwaalamukhi ki tarah ubal rahi hai. kabhi na kabhi to inhein bahar aana hi hain. maine aaj tak kabhi kisi se inka zikr nahi kiya. agar aaj tum sun pao to ehsaan hoga mujh par"
"arrey ehsaan ki baat mat kar gadhi. dost to bol diya, nibhayegi nahin kya. maine pyaar kiya nahin dekhi?? dosti mein no sorry and no thankyou usne bola thha, main usko modify kar ke usmein ehsaan bhi include kar deta hoon" vikas ne mahaul ko thoda halka karne ki koshish kari. "aaj saturday hai aur kal sunday. dono din mujhe koi kaam nahi hai. tum chaaho to aise hi baitha ke mujhe apni poori zindagi ka lekha jokha suna sakti ho. kasam khuda ki agar maine uff tak bhi kari. jab bhi mann kare, aage bolne lag jaana" vikas ne muskuraate hue kaha. do minute saanse sambhaalne ke baad nidhi waapas bolne lagi,
"Mera saraa sansaar uss ek pal mein deh gaya. mujhe laga ke dharti phat jaye aur main usmein sama jaun. halanki prem mujhse pyaar nahi karta thha, par main usse bahut pyaar karti thhi aur aise achanak se uski maut ka sadma bardaasht nahi kar payi. divorce ke documents dekh kar uske ghar waalon ne bhi mere se rishta to ddiya. aise samay mein mujhe ek dost ki sakht zarurat thhi aur wo dost mujhe Rahul mein mila. ussne na sirf mujhe jeene ki raah dikhayi, balki mujhe waapas apne pairon pe khada kiya. Lekin duniya waalon se yeh dekha nahi jaata. unhone mujhe tarah tarah ke naam de kar badnaam karna shuru kar diya. isliye maine wo locality hi chhod di. nayi naukari mili par issi shaher mein. transfer ke liye shayad waqt lag jaye. to bas isliye iss locality mein shift ho gayi. par jagah badalne se ghaav nahi bharte. mujhe lagta hai ke prem ke diye ghaav aaj bhi hare hain" kehte hue nidhi fir se rone lag gayi.
Vikas ko nidhi pe jitna taras aa raha tha usse kahin zyaada gussa usse prem par aa raha tha. kaise usne ek hamesha khush rehne waali ladki ko ghamon ke samunder mein phenk diya hai. vikas nidhi ke paas ho gaya aur apne kandhe pe uska sir rakh kar usko sahunubhuti dene laga.
"chhodo ab purani baaton ko nidhi. jo hua, so hua. ab tum apni zindagi waapis paa chuki ho"
"haan main jaanti hoon"
"Bas ab tumhaari zindagi mein sirf ek cheez ki kami hai"
"kya"
"gas ka cylinder. jad tak wo nahin aayega, tumhein yahin pe aana padega"
"nahin main bahar se order kar lungi tumhein takleef hoti hai to" nidhi muskuraate hue boli.
"arrey takleef ki kya baat hai, issi bahaane mujhe thoda dhang ka khaana mil jaya karega bina mehnat ke" vikas bola aur dono khilkila ke has pade.
"vikas ek baat dhyaan rakhna. duniya chahe tumhein kuch bhi kahe, tum dil ke bade hi achche insaan ho. kabhi badalna mat. har aadmi ek ideal aadmi nahi ban sakta. har kisi mein kuch na kuch kharaabi hoti hi hai. doosron ki baaton mein aa ke, apne aap ko mat badalna nahi to tumhaari uniqueness kho jayegi. ja main tumse dosti kar sakti hoon tumhein jaane bina, to koi bhi ladki kar sakti hai."
"thanks for the compliment" vikaas ne blush hote hue kaha
"vikas bahut dinon baad aaj kisi se baat kar ke mujhe achcha lag raha hai. dil chahta hai ke main tumpe vishwas karun aur mujhe tum par vishwaas hone bhi laga hai. bus mere se ek waada karo. waada karo ke mera vishwas tum kabhi nahi todoge"
"main waada karta hun nidhi."
Nidhi aur vikas ne thodi der aise hi idhar-udhar ki baatein kari aur fir nidhi apne ghar chali gayi. Nidhi ke nikalte hi vikas haadh dho kar prem ke peeche pad gaya.
"kaise kar sakto tum apni biwi ke saath aisa? uske baad tum mujhe bhashan sunaate ho?? tumhaari biwi ki jagah agar main hota to divorce nahin, jaan se maar deta tumko"
"dekh vikas, mujhe pata hai ke mere se kya galti hui hai. aur ussi ko sudhaarne main yahan aaya hoon. iss liye apni yeh bak bak band kar. aur mujhe thoda sochne de"
"kya soch rahe ho ab?"
"yeh Rahul jitna seedha ban raha hai, mujhe lagta nahi hai ke utna seedha hai. mujhe lagta hai ke yeh nidhi ko bewakoof bana raha hai. koi baat to hai jo humaare saamne hote hue bhi humein dikh nahi rahi.Main iss Rahul ka bhandafod kar ke rahunga. main nahi chahta ke meri biwi kisi ke baat mein aise hi aa jaye. lekin Rahul chahta kya hai"
"shayad paisa ya property"
"property jo bhi hai wo mummy-papa ke naam pe hai aur wo jaisa nidhi keh rahi hai ke issko milne ke chances kam hain. maine jitna paisa kamaya tha, wo ek aise account mein daala tha jahan pe meri madat ke bagair koi aadmi ek paisa nahi nikal sakta. Aur waise bhi Rahul ek bahut hi ameer aadmi hai. paison ke liye uska aisa karna thoda ajeeb lagta hai"
"arrey to paisa nahi, property nahi to pyaar karne lag gaya hoga wo nidhi se"
"Ho sakta hai. par jahan tak maine Rahul ko dekha hai, wo bhi meri tarah aiyyaash hi tha. usski kaafi girl friends hua karti thi. fir kisi vidhwa ke peeche aise pagal hona, daal mein zarur kuch kaala hai"
"to tum dal chaano, main laga thoda aaram karne. waise bhi itni jaldi uthne ki aadat hai nahi meri weekend par"
"dhyaan rakhna aaj shaam 4 baje ki race se tumhein paise lene bhi jaana hai"
"Haan haan. kaise bhool sakta hoon wo main. 50 hazaar rupaye laga diye thhe maine 5 number ke ghode par"
"Hey bhagwaan. main to mazaak kar raha tha. hum logon ke paas kuch power nahi hoti. beta tere paise to doob gaye"
"abey kya baat kar raha hai... dekh sach sach bata. main jaa kar kisi tarah se haath pair jod kar kuch karne ki koshish karunga. mazaak mat kar dost. bhai hai na tu mera. bata, 5 number ka ghoda hi jeetega na"
"jeetna to 5 number ka hi chahiye. ab wo aage numberon mein fer badal kar dein to main kya jaanu" prem ne ek shaitani muskurahat ke saath bola
bas itna kehne ki der thhi ke vikas ke haath paaon fool gaye. agar wo yeh paise haar gaya to kya hoga? kitni mushkil se usne yeh paise jama kiye thhe. ab to ghar waalon ke saare paise bhi usne aiyyaashi mein uda diye hain. itne saare paise wo ek saath khona afford nahi kar sakta tha. poori dopahar wo bas karwatein badalta raha aur prem usko dekh ke bas hasta raha. Jab shaam hone ko thhi to wo fatafat tayyaar hua aur racecourse ki taraf ravaana ho gaya. jab usne wahan jaa ke check kiya, to uski jaan mein jaan aayi. 1.50 Lakhs Rs le kar wo muskuraate hue waapas aa gaya.
"mil gaye paise? khush ho ab tum?"
"abhi kahan. yeh to sirf shuruaat hi hai. abhi to humaari jodi khoob rang layegi." vikas khushi mein bola
"achcha suno. main kuch din ke Rahul ke yahan jaa raha hoon. main dekhta hoon ke wo kya khichdi pakaa raha hai. tum yahan sambhal loge?"
"bilkul sambhaal lunga main" vikas ne khushi mein kaha aur cupboard mein paise rakhne chal pada. prem ko shanka thhi ke pata nahin yeh sambhal payega ya nahin, lekin wo fir bhi chal pada rahul ke ghar ki ore.
idhar vikas saara paisa sambhal ke chal pada nidhi ke ghar. ghar mein se nidhi ke zor zor se hasne ki awaazein aa rahi thhi. vikas ne bell bajayi to nidhi ne aa ke darwaaza khol diya.
"ohh vikas.. aao andar. main phone pe hoon. bas thoda time do mujhe"
"haan haan zarur." kehte hue vikas hall mein baith gaya aur tv dekhne laga. thodi der mein nidhi phone rakh ke waapas aayi.
"haan vikas bolo. kya chal raha hai"
"kuch zyada nahin. ek ghode pe daav lagaya tha. jeet gaya aaj. 1 lakh ka fayda ho gaya. chalo aaj raat ko party karte hain"
"arrey waah yeh to bahut achchi baat hai. lekin mujhe pata nahi... party varty mein main zyada interested nahi hoon."
"Kab tak aise til til ke marti rahogi nidhi... chalo mere saath. thoda bahar jayenge. ghoomenge firenge. thodi daru peeyenge aur waapas aa jayenge"
"na baba na.. daru pee kar main bilkul control se bahar ho jati hoon. yeh plan rehne do. itna hi clebrate karne ka mood hai to kahin chal ke kuch achcha khaa ke aa jaate hain"
"arrey khaana to kabhi bhi khaa sakte hain, chalo na plz plz plz" vikas gidgadate hue bola, "waise bhi main to tumhaare saath rahunga hi. zyada nahin peene dunga"
"chalo theek hai tum insist karte ho to. Rahul ko bhi bula loon" nidhi ne poocha aur vikas ka muh ek dam latak gaya maano jaise kisi ne 4 thappad maar diye ho gaal pe, "he he he. main mazaak kar rahi thhi. maine kal tumhaara chehra dekha thha jab rahul ke aane se tumhaare pet pe laat pad gayi thhi. hum dono hi jayenge. kitne baje chalein?"
"abhi 5 baj rahe hain. main 8 baje aata hun. fir chalte hain."
"theek hai vikas. par dhyan rakhna mera" chehre par masoomiyat laate hue nidhi ne bola.
"zarorr rakhunga. aakhir dost hote hi kis liye hain" kehte hue vikas nidhi ke ghar se bahar nikal ke apne ghar ki ore chal pada.
ghar jaa kar vikas ne socha ke chalo thodi safai hi kar li jaye ghar ki aur ghar ki safai mein jut gaya. usko pata thha ke agar wo 8 bajne ka intezaar karne laga to ek ek pal uske upar hathode ki tarah padega. isliye kabhi safai mein, to kabhi tv dekhne mein to kabhi kapde dhone mein usne apne aap ko busy rakha. dekhte hi dekhte 8 baj gaye. vikas ek dum tayyaar tha aur sahi time pe nidhi ke ghar pahunch gaya. ghanti bajayi to koi reply nahi aaya. 2-3 baar usne ghanti bajayi aur fir check kiya to darwaza khula hua tha. usko laga ke nidhi kahin paas mein gayi hogi to wo andar ghus gaya intezaar karne ke liye. usne socha ke nidhi ko surprise dega, lekin andar to uske liye surprise thha. jaise hi wo andar ghusa, usne dekha ke nidhi ek toliye mein lipat kar, bathroom se bahar aa rahi hai. usko dekhte hi nidhi ki cheekh nikal gayi aur uska toliya girne hi waala tha ke nidhi ne usse pakkad liya.
"ohh tum ho, maine socha pata nahi kaun andar ghus aaya hai" nervously nidhi boli. "waise bahut handsome lag rahe ho in kapdon mein"
"arrey baatein baad mein karenge pehle jaldi se kuch pehen ke aa jao. mera mann dol gaya ya koi aur aa gaya to lene ke dene pad jayenge tumhein" vikas ek shaitaani hasi ke saath bola. nidhi daud ke apne bedroom mein ghus gayi aur darwaaza band kar liya. vikas ka yahan nidhi ke baare mein soch soch kar bura haal ho raha tha. Nidhi ko iss halat mein dekh, uske tan mein aag lag gayi thhi. Prem ka kaam karte karte wo jaise bhool hi gaya tha ke nidhi kaisi bala ki si khubsurati samate hue hain apne mein. aaj usko fir ehsaas hua un chaar saalon ka jo usne nidhi ko sirf dekhte hi dekhte guzaar diye thhe. agar usne tab kuch keh diya hota to aaj shayad nidhi uske saath hoti aur dono bahut khush hote. inhi baaton mein wo khoya hua tha ke nidhi waapas aa gayi
"kin khayalon mein khoye hue ho vikas? kahin party jaane ka idea bura to nahin lag raha? agar lag raha hai to bahut achchi baat hain, main kapde waapis change kar leti hoon"
"arrey nahi, thoda kaam ke baare mein soch raha tha" vikas ne bola aur nidhi ki taraf dekha. nidhi ko dekhte hi jaise uska dil dhadakna band ho gaya. kaale rang ki cocktail dress mein nidhi gazab dhaa rahi thi. uski aankhon mein fir wo chamak ki jhalak vikas ko dikhi jo kabhi college mein dikha karti thhi. nidhi ko dekhkar usse aisa laga jaise koyle ki khaan se koi bada hi tarasha hua nayaab hira nikal raha ho. usko ab yakeen ho chala tha ke bhagwaan ne nidhi ko bahut hi fursat mein banaya hai aur vikas ka janam sirf isliye hua hai taaki wo nidhi ko khush rakh sake.
"arrey mujhmein bhi kaam dikh raha hai kya?? itni ghoor ke kyun dekh rahe ho" nidhi ne muskurate hue poocha. shayad wo iska jawaab mann hi maan jaanti thhi.
"arrey nahi yaar. tum mujhe handsome keh rahi ho. khud ko nahi dekha aaine mein?? ek dam kayamat lag rahi ho. mujhe to sach mein pata hi nahi tha ke tum itni sundar ho. ab to mujhe sach mein darr lag raha hai ke main aaj raat tumhaara khayal rakh paunga ya nahi, aur agar rakh liya to fir mujhse kaun bachayega"
"ha ha ha. ab chalna hai ya yahin pe khade ho kar baatein karni hai"
"arrey bilkul chalna hai. tum tayaar ho to chalo"
Dono ek 5 star hotel ke badiye se disco mein gaye. 11 baje tak wahan rahe, khoob khaaya, peeya. disco band hone ka time hua jab tak dono kaafi talli thhe. dono ne ek auto pakda aur ghar ki taraf chal pade. poora raasta dono koi na koi ajeeb baatein karke haste rahe. auto se utre to dimag zabardast hil raha tha. kisi tarah se auto waale ko niptaa kar life mein chadhe.
"mujhe apne ghar le chalo vikky"
"kyun kya hua" khushi ke maare vikas ka dil itni zor se dhadakne laga ke usse laga ke abhi muh ke raaste bahar hi aa jayega
"mera sar bahut chakra raha hai. mujhe thodi coffee peeni hai. nahi to raat bhar pareshaani hoti rahegi. maine tumhein kaha tha ke mera khayal rakhna aur tum khud itna kheech gaye... sharaabi kahin ke" aadi tedhi disha mein chalti nidhi boli to vikas bhi jaane kyun has pada. wo usse apne kamre mein le aaya.
"aa to gaye. ab coffee kaun banayega"
"tum bana do na plz plz. mujh se khada bhi nahin raha jayega"
"arrey maine tumse 2 guna peeya hai. meri halat socho."
"tum to superman ho. bana do na. plz plz. chalo dono chalte hain" kehte hue nidhi uthi aur vikas ka haath pakkad ke zor zor se kheechne lagi
"arrey mera baaju ukhaad ke le kar jaogi kya. ruko. chal raha hoon" kehte hue vikas utha aur kitche ki taraf chal pade dono. nidhi se seedha nahi chala jaa raha tha to usne vikas ki baahon mein haath daal liya aur uske kandhe par sir rakh ke chali jaa rahi thi. "arrey yeh coffee ka dibba to khatam hai"
"arrey haan yaad aaya subah mujhe se gir gayi thi safai karte hue. sorry" nidhi ne bola. uska chehra vikas ke kaan ke paas hone ke karan, vikas ko aisa anubhav hua jaise wo kisi loudspeaker mein bol rahi ho.
"ab sorry keh ke kya hoga meri jaan, chalo main tumhein ghar chhod doon" vikas ne khijte hue bola
"mujhe ghar nahin jaana, mujhe neend nahi aayegi"
"main tumhein sula ke hi aaunga nidhi. chalo ab mere saath"
"promise?"
"promise." kehte hue vikas ne nidhi ko thoda sa kheecha jisse wo poori tarah vikas ke upar aa giri
"he he he. tumhein shayad mujhe uthaa ke le jaana padega. main chal nahi sakti, yeh pakka hai"
"hey bhagwaan kahan phans gaya" vikas ne socha aur nidhi ko utha liya. nidhi ne apne dono haath uske gale mein daal liye aur sar uske kandhe pe tika diya. ab vikas ko reh reh kar nidhi ke perfume ki smell aa rahi thhi, jo usko bahut uttejit kar rahi thhi. usko darr tha ke uttejna aur nashe se kahin uske haath se nidhi neeche na gir jaye. kisi tarah se wo nidhi ko uske ghar le kar gaya aur bistar par patka. "shukra hai pahunch gayi theek thaak" soch kar wo muda, par nidhi ne uska haath pakkad liya
"tumne promise kiya tha ke mujhe sula ke jaoge" masoomiyat se wo boli
"zarur"
"to aao aur mere paas baitho"
vikas nidhi ke paas baith gaya aur uske baalon mein haath ferne laga. 4 saal ka uska pyaar aaj poori tarah se umad raha tha. uska mann kar raha tha ke yeh raat kabhi khatam na ho aur wo aise hi yahan baitha rahe.
"tum kya sochne lag gaye vikky"
"kuch nahin nidhi"
"jhoot mat bolo aur batao"
"tumhein dekh raha tha nidhi"
"main tumhein bahut achchi lagti hoon na vikky"
"haan nidhi tum mujhe bahut achchi lagti ho"
"tum bhi mujhe bahut achche lagte ho vikas. tumhaare jaisa dost mujhe aaj tak nahi mila." vikas bas chup chaap usko dekh raha tha. uska mann hi nahi bhar raha tha aaj nidhi se. achanak se hi nidhi uthi aur uske gaalein mein apni baahein daal ke, uske hothon ko apne hothon se daba diya. isse pehle vikas kuch samajh paata, nidhi ke hoth dheere dheere uske neeche waale hoth ko choosne lage. ab yeh sharab ka asar tha ya kuch aur, yeh to pata nahi, lekin vikas ko bahut mazaa aane lag gaya tha. usse laga jaise saalon se registan mei nchalte hue jaise achanak hi usse thande paani ki jheel mil gayi ho. ussne sab baaton ko dimag se nikal diya aur poori tarah se iss pal mein doob gaya, jaise nidhi doobi hui thi
Nidhi ke bhi pure mann mein jaise aag lagi hui thhi. sochne samajhne ki shakti to jaise bilkul khatam ho hi gayi thhi. usko kuch nahi dikh raha tha ke saamne kaun hai aur kyun hai. bas usko itna pata tha ke uske saath ek aadmi hai, jiske saath wo kisi bhi haal mein sambhog karna chahti thhi. usne vikas ke hothon pe jaise apne hothon ki baarish kar di thhi. fir dheere dheere wo unko chabane lagi.
ab vikas ke liye to yeh saare anubhav bilkul naye thhe. usne socha ke kuch kar ke kaam bigaadne se achcha hai nidhi jaisa karna chah rahi hai, chup chaap waisa karte raho. Dheere dheere nidhi uske hothon ko choomte hue apni jeebh uske muh mein daalne lagi to usne jhat se muh khol diya aur uska daat seedha nidhi ke hoth pe laga jisse khoon aane laga. Vikas darr ke maare nidhi ka hoth choosne laga aur nidhi jaise saatve aasmaan par pahunch gayi. har thodi der mein wo apni jeebh vikas ke muh mein daalti aur uski jeebh ke saath kushti karti. vikas ko yeh ehsaas bahut achcha lag raha tha. thodi der mein wo dono baahon mein baahein daal ke bistar pe let gaye. baat abhi choomne se aage badhi nahi thhi.
Vikas ne himmat karke dheere dheer apna hath uski jaangh pe rakha aur ferne laga. usne padha tha ke aurat yeh karne se aur horny ho jaati hai. ab nidhi se bhi raha nahi jaa raha tha. wo uthi aur ek jhatke mein apna top nikaal feka. vikas ko laga ke usse bhi yehi karna chahiye lekin habad dabad mein apni t shirt utaarte hue uski kohni nidhi ke naak pe jaa lagi. lekin zyaada zor se nahi. nidhi bas thoda sa peeche ke ore girne ko hui lekin sambhal gayi. vikas ne dekha ke nidhi ab sirf apni bra aur panty mein hi hai to usne bhi apni jeans utaar di. apni taango se jeans nikalne ke liye jaise hi vikas neeche jhuka, uska maatha zor se bed side table pe laga. usko chakkar aane lag gaye aur usse laga ke wo abhi gir jayega.
lekin aisa mauka usse baar baar nahi milne waala tha. bhaad mein jaaye sab kuch, aaj to usko nidhi ke saath kuch na kuch karna hi tha. Nidhi bistar pe leti usse aane ka ishaara kar rahi thi.. bhaag ke wo bistar ke paas gaya aur uska ghutna dhamm se bistar mein laga aur wo dard se karah utha aur bistar par gir gaya. fir bhi rengta hua nidhi ke paas gaya. nidhi samajh gayi thi ke vikas naya hai. usne bina kuch kahe vikas ko peeth pe bal laita diya aur khud uski taango pe baith kar dheere dheere hilne lagi. ab to chhota vikas bhi full-on salaami de raha tha. usko apni yoni ke paas rakh kar, nidhi dheere dheere hilne lagi. ragad se jo garmi usse mil rahi thi, wo usko bahut anand de rahi thhi. achanak se hi usse kuch chipchipa sa mehsoos hua vikas ke taangon ke beech. usne haath laga ke dekha to paya ke vikas jhad chuka hai. usne vika ske chehre ki taraf dekha to usko ek nervous smile mein paaya.
woh uske upar se utari aur uski underwear utaar kar phenk di. chhota vikaas dheere dheere apne bil mein waapas ghus raha tha. nidhi apne hothon se usko choomne lagi. fir surrp ki awaaz ke saath usko apne muh mein daal liya. muh mein lekar wo jaise usse khel rahi thhi. kabhi ek kone mein karti to kabhi doosre mein. lekin iska asar hone laga tha. chhota vikaas thoda sa jaag gaya tha. lekin bada vikaas badhaal ho raha tha. usse bilkul sahan nahi ho raha tha yeh. dheere ka karya shaitaan ka hota hai - aisa usse lag raha tha. wo chahta tha ke jaldi se chudai shuru ho.
dheere dheere nidhi uske ling ko muh ke andar bahar karne lagi. fir usne uspe apni jeebh firaana shuru kiya. uske aisa karte hi maano jaise vikaas ke shareer mein laakho watt ka current daud gaya ho. itna mazaa usse zindagi mein kabhi nahi aaya tha. vikas ke ling pe jeebh ferte hue nidhi ne apni bra bhi utaar feki. ab jaise jaise uska muh upar neeche hota vikaas ka ling choosne ko, waise hi uske mumme bhi upar neeche hote. yeh nazaara dekh kar vikaas se raha nahi jaa raha tha. uska mann kar raha tha ke aaj to wo unhein dabaa hi de. 4 saal sirf nihaare hai unko, aaj jab darshan hue hain to poori kasar nikal hi de.
Use aav dekha na taav, bas apna haath badha diyaun mummo ki taraf. nidhi poori tarah se uske ling pe concentrate kar rahi thhi. jaise hi wo usse poora ghusaane ke liye muh ko neeche kiya, uska maatha dhann se vikas ke badhte haath se takraya. sharaab aur madhoshi ke saath jab insan ko dard milta hai to uska result kuch ajeeb sa hi hota hai. maathe pe chot kha ke, nidhi ki nikli cheekh. nidhi apna maatha pakkad kar thoda udhar moodi aur bistar par gir gayi. ab iss ko zyaada daru ka asar kahiye, nidhi ki nadaani ya vikas ka bad luck, dham se bistar par girte hi wo zor zor se kharrate bhar ke sone lagi. Reh gaya chhota vikaas jo abhi abhi salaami dene ke liye khada hua tha. Ab uska alag se dimag to tha nahin, nahin to yeh hi sochta ke aaj fir haathon se hi kuchla jaayega. Vikas pehle to hairaani se nidhi ki taraf dekhta raha ke kahin wo marr to nahin gayi, uski saansein chalti dekh, vikas ne jhat se wahin hilaya, bistar pe jhaada aur apne kapde pehen ke apne room mein jaa kar so gaya.
Jab vikas so ke utha to dopahar ke 2 baj gaye thhe. usne socha ke pata nahi kyun Aaj nidhi nahi aayi. wo naha dho ke fresh hua aur fir Nidhi ke ghar ki taraf chal pada. aur kuch to tha nahin us ke pas karne ko. Chalte chalte reh reh ke uske dimaag mein raat ki baatein aati thhi. sab kuch theek se to yaad nahi tha lekin dhundhla dhundhla to tha. Usko apne upar thodi sharam bhi aa rahi thi ke aaram se sex bhi nahi kar paya aur glaani bhi ke usne ek daru mein dhutt ladki ke saath sex karne ki koshish kari. lekin asal mein thha to sex, aur usne to shuru bhi kiya nahi tha, isliye mainly wo khush hi tha.
Jaa kar usne darwaaze ki ghanti bajayi. thodi der mein nidhi ne darwaaza khola. Uski aankhein ekdam laal thhi. vikas ko dekhte hi usski aankhein jhuk gayi.
"Plz mujhe akela chhod do. main abhi tumse koi baat nahi karna chahti" kehte hue usne darwaaza patak diya
ab vikas ko aaya gussa. na iski galti na kuch, aise kaise wo iske muh pe darwaza maar sakti hai. Usne fir ghanti bajayi, lekin darwaaza nahi khula. usne darwaaze ko knock karna shuru kiya, "nidhi meri baat suno, please darwaaza kholo. mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai"
"vikas plz mujhe chhod do abhi. mujhe koi baat nahi karni"
"nidhi pagal mat bano aur darwaaza kholo. nahin to main tod ke andar ghus jaunga. kis galti ki sazaa de rahi ho apne aap ko kamre mein band kar ke. kyun mujhe ko bhi apne saath sataa rahi ho nidhi plz darwaaza kholo"
Itna shor-sharaaba sun ke watchman bhi upar aa gaya.
"kya hua sahab, koi pareshani hai kya"
"tu chup kar yaar aur jaa neeche. teri zarurat hogi to bula lunga upar" vikas ne gusse mein kaha watchman se
"sahab aise mat boliye. yeh humaara kaam hai. aap aise kisi ke dossre ke ghar mein nahi ghus sakte"
"abbe kahe ka kaam. tu jaata hai ke dun abhi rakh ke kaan ke neeche. tujhe bol diya na ke koi zarurat hogi to bula lunga. ab dimag ka aur dahi mat kar aur nikal yahan se"
itna shor sun ke nidhi ne darwaaza khol diya, "kyun itna shor macha rahe ho ?? pagal ho gaye ho kya"
"dekhiye na memsahab, hum sahab ko bol rahe hain ke apne kamre mein jaiye par wo ulta humein hi dhamka rahe hain"
"main inki taraf se sorry maangti hoon. aap jaiye, main dekh lungi" nidhi ne kaha to watchman jaldi se neeche chala gaya.. usse pehle se hi darr tha ke sach main kahin vikas jadd ne de usko.
"kya bakwaas hai yeh nidhi. kyun mere muh par darwaaza band kar diya tumne?"
"vikas maine tumhein kaha na ke plz mujhe akela chhod do." kehte hue nidhi ne fir darwaaza band karne ki koshish kari. par iss baar vikas ne darwaaza pakkad liya.
"nahi. nahi chhodunga main tumhein akela. aur chhodu bhi kyun? jo kiya hum dono ne kiya. iska upay bhi hum dono hi nikalenge" kehta hua vikas nidhi ke ghar mein ghus gaya.
"ab reh kya gaya hai vikas. maine kal tumhein kaha tha ke tumhein mujhse sambhalna hai. tumne waada kiya tha ke tum mujhe sambhaloge. fir kaise tumne yeh sab hone diya vikas." nidhi jhallate hue boli
"tum aise bol rahi ho jaise mere paas koi chaabi thi jisse maine tijori khol di aur chori ho gayi. main bhi peeya hua tha, nahi rakh paya khud pe control to kya karun? jaan logi kya meri. aur waise bhi humaare beech mein aisa kuch ho nahi paya..."
uss ka yeh kehna tha ke nidhi khilkila ke has padi. aankhe gusse aur sharam se laal thhi par hasi jharne ki tarah phoot rahi thhi. pehle to vikas ko kuch samajh nahi aaya, fir achanak se hi dhyaan aaya ke wo uske upar has rahi hai. ab vikas ka dimag aur kharab ho gaya. wo guse se cheekhne hi waala tha ke usko prem ki baat yaad aayi ke agar gusse mein ho to jo bolna hai pehle dimag mein apne aap se bol ke dekho. agar wo theek lagta hai, to zor se bolo. Bas uske itna sochne bhar ki der thhi ke uska dimag thoda shaant hua. Jab usne nidhi ko haste dekha to usko bhi hasii aane lag gayi.
"ab has kya rahe ho besharam ki tarah. kaise pagal ho tum" nidhi ne haste hue kaha
"ab theek hai... jo hua so hua. jaan logi kya meri. kal to keh rahi thhi ke hota hai aisa" vikas ne bholi si awaaz mein kaha
"kya tum pehli baar kisi ladki ke itna kareeb aaye thhe?"
"haan" vikas fir blush karte hue bola "aaj tak yeh sirf movies mein hi dekha tha. jab sach mein hua to control nahi hua"
"vikas jo kuch bhi hua, galti se hue. daru ke nashe mein hua. plz isko seriously mat lena."
"Nidhi.. kya tum mujhse.."
"plz vikas plz aage mat bolna. hum dono achche dost hain. mujhe bas itna hi pata hai. main abhi kisi serious relationship ke liye tayaar nahi hoon. plz mere dost ki tarah raho"
"dost ne subah se khaana nahi khaya hai. kuch hain tumhaare paas?"
"nahin maine bhi nahi banaya. manga lete hain. baith jao"
Thodi der tak wo dono idhar udhar ki baatein karte rahe aur fir khaana kha liya.
"aaj raat ka kya program hai nidhi?"
"aaj raat hum teeno mere ghar pe khaana khayenge. Rahul khaana le kar aa raha hai. kuch bolne ki zarurat nahi hai, tum aa rahe ho. bas." nidhi ne aakhri baat vikas ke muh kholte hi boli
"arrey usko bolo ke wo na le kar aaye. wo kam le kar aata hai. hum le aayenge."
"maine usse bol diya hai. wo zyada le kar aayega. Aur please uske saamne kal raat ka koi zikr mat karna"
"chalo theek hai, issi bahaane Rahul se mulaqat hogi. dekhun to kaun hai wo mahapurush jo parayi stree ka itna khayal rakhta hai"
"he he he. mujhe jalne ki boo aa rahi hai"
"main kyun jalne laga tumhaare liye? hum to sirf dost hai na.. dost jalte thode na hai" kehta hua vikas khada hua. "chalo main waapas jaata hoon. raat mein aaoonga" kehte hue wo bahar nikal gaya.
"kya hua. kyun itna shor machaya hua hai? dekhte nahi ke baat kar raha tha usse" bahar aa kar prem pe bigadte hue bola
"aaj Rahul nidhi se milne aa raha hai."
"pata hai mujhe. main bhi dinner pe invited hoon. kuch pata chala rahul ke baare mein?"
"zyaada nahi. Shayad aaj wo nidhi ko propose karne walaa hai. kal usne ek diamond ring khareedi hai"
"achchi baat hai"
"kya achchi baat hai vikas?? mujhe nahi lagta ke Rahul Nidhi ke liye sahi ladka hai"
"tumhein lagne ka kya hai? tumhein thodi shaadi karni hai. tumse kaun puchega ?? aur agar pooch bhi liya kisi ne to tumhaari awaaz to bas mujhe sunayi padti hai" kehta hua vikas hasne laga
"vikas mazaak ke mood mein nahi hoon main. main rahul ke baare mein kuch aur information pata karna chahta hoon. please aaj usse propose mat karne dena"
"dekhta hoon" kehkar vikas ne prem ko to mana liya, par usska khud ka dil zor zor se dhadak raha tha. wo nahi chahta tha ke manzil ke itne paas aa kar bhi wo manzil se door ho jaye. Rahul ka to kuch aisa karna padega ke usse long term chutkaara mil jaye. lekin aisa kiya kya jaye... Vikas issi soch mein doob gaya
Vikas sochte sochte thakk gaya ke kaise nipta jaye Rahul se lekin usko koi idea nahi aa raha tha. Usne Prem se bas Rahul ki 4-5 girl friends ki details le li aur socha ke kisi tarah darra dhamka ke Rahul ko rok lega. shaam hui aur waapas Prem, Nidhi aur Vikas ek hi room mein aa gaye. Vikas aise hi idhar udhar ki baatein kar raha tha. Usne notice kiya ke Nidhi thodi gumsum si hai.
"Kya hua nidhi. itni serious kyun ho?"
"Thodi problem mein phas gayi hoon. zyada nahin. nipat lungi kisi tarah se"
"hadh ho gayi hai yeh to. ab humaari dosti mein wo mukaam aa gaya hai jahan hum ek doosre se problems bhi share nahin karenge? bata to do, help nahi leni mat lena, kam se kam main kuch mazaak hi udaa lunga tumhaari problems ka"
"faltu ki baatein mat kiya karo vikas. har cheez mein mazaak nahi chalta"
"to batao na sara chakkar kya hai. kyun bheja fry kar rahi ho"
"prem to meri zindagi se chala gaya hai magar uski wajah se aani problems khatam nahi hui hai abhi tak" itna sunna tha ke prem samajh gaya ke kya hua hoga aaj. jiska darr tha wahi hua. aakhir wo log nidhi tak pahunch hi gaye
"kya hua ab nidhi? batao mujhe. ho sakta hai main kuch madat kar sakun."
"mujhe bataye bina prem ne underworld se 50 lakhs ka loan uthaya tha aur obviously repay nahi kiya. aaj unka phone aaya tha. 3 din ka time hai mere paas. they are threatening to take my life"
"Ab yeh kahan fassa diya bechaari ko haramkhor. saale main agar aaj tujhe zinda kar paata na, to zinda kar ke teri mundi kaat deta" Vikas ne socha
"ghar ke liye uthaya tha. saara paisa account mein hai. wahan se nikal ke repay ho jayega"
"pata nahi kyun mujhe feeling aa rahi hai ke yeh itna aasaan nahi hoga"
"itna aasaan hota to main pehle din hi tumhein bol deta. tumhein mere bhesh mein jaana hoga aur us bank se paise nikalne honge. its a secret bank. usmein paisa jama karna jitna mushkil hai, usse kahin mushkil hai paisa bahar nikalna. mere ko koi problem nahi aayi thhi kyunki mera aur papa ka joint account thha. ab kisi tarah se kuch karna padega paisa nikalne ke liye"
"sharam kar thodi saale. pehle mere se kitni chhoti help maangi thi - nidhi tak teri baat pahunchaane ki, fir Rahul ka patta kaatne ko manaya... ab dacaiti karayega. dimag ki maa-behen ek kar di hai tune. saala uss din main uss truck ke neeche aaya hi kyun"
"tu aisa bol raha hai jaise free mein kaam kar raha hai. chal chhod yeh baatein. nidhi se meri savings ke baare mein pooch aur bank ki details nikalwa"
"kya soch rahe ho itni der se vikas? dont worry. i dont expect you to help me in this. bahut badi rakam hai"
"na na wo baat nahi hain. mujhe lagta nahin ke prem apni zindagi ke baare mein itna careless hua hoga. maana ke wo ek bahut luchcha, selfish aur ghatiya insaan tha, lekin mujhe lagta hai usne kahin na kahin kuch intezaam kiya hoga. tumhaare paas uske accounts details hain?"
p:- "aur koi gaaali deni hai to wo bhi bol de"
v:- "nahi ho gaya. chup kar aur mujhe kaam karne de"
n:- haan hai. aao bedroom mein
p:- uske bedroom main nahi jayega tu
v:- haan chalo bedroom mein chalte hain (kyun na jaoon bedroom mein be? tera bedroom nahi hai yeh)
n:- maine rakhe thhe almaari mein. abhi mil jayenge. (neha ne dhoondhte hue kaha)
v:- aaram se dhoondh lo. koi tension nahi hain. main bistar pe let jaata hoon (kehkar wo prem ko jalaane ke liye aaram se bistar par let gaya). waise Rahul kab aa raha hai?
n:- aata hi hoga.
v:- usko bata diya kya?
n:- usko kyun bataungi? usko nahi bataya
p:- kaho ke usko bata de. dekhte hain kitna help karne ko tayaar hota hai wo
n:- aur haan tum bhi usko kuch nahi batana. main nahi chahti ke kisi teesre ko iss baat ka pata chale.
v:- okay.
tabhi darwaaze ki ghanti baji.
n:- lagta hai aa gaya. tum darwaaza kholo. main papers dhoondhti hoon
v:- bahut achche. ab naukar ka kaam bhi karwa lo mujh se.
n:- uff.. tum bhi na. ruko. main hi kholti hoon. gahde kahin ke
kehte hue nidhi darwaaze ki taraf gayi aur vikas lapak ke almaari ke paas hua. usne dekh liya tha ke unke college ki graduation photo neeche gir gayi hai. wo nahi chahta thha ke nidhi uss photo ko dekhe aur vikaas ko pehchaane. usne wo photu utha ke peeche rakh di.
n:- hye rahul. aao aao. u r looking dashing.
r:- thanx nidhi. yeh lo khaana. itna laaya hoon ke poori cricket team kha jaayegi.
n:- issko wahan kitchen mein rakh do na plz. main thoda kaam karwa rahi thhi vikas se. tum yahan baitho, i will join u in 5 minutes.
v:- hi rahul. kaise ho. (vikas photo chupa ke aa chuka thha)
r:- main theek hoon. tum batao. main bhool gaya hoon ke kabhi nidhi ke ghar aaya hoon ya usse baat kari ho aur tum aas paas na ho.
v:- arrey yahi hoti hai asli dost ki nishani. occassionally nahin, regularly madat karte hain (nidhi bedroom mein jaa chuki thhi)
r:- arrey agressive kyun hota hai yaar. chill maar. aur bata kya chal raha hai
v:- kuch zyada nahin. bas subah se yahin pe hoon. time pass kar raha hoon
r:- bada master aadmi hai tu to. main to tujhe pehli baar dekhte hi samajh gaya tha ke tu ekdum master aadmi hai. behen ki madat karne sabse pehle aayega
v:- abe behen nahi hai wo meri. dost hai. bahut achchi
r:- achchaaa.. bahut achchi dost hai to tum uske baare mein jaante bhi bahut hoge
v:- haan. kaafi jaanta hoon
r:- dekh yaar main usko propose karne ka soch raha hoon. tum bataoge ke usko kya achcha lagta hai?
v:- lund.
r:- what !!!
v:- usko lund bahut achcha lagta hai. lekin exact size ka.
r:- kya bakwaas kar raha hai tu !!! sharam nahi aati aisi baat karte hue
v:- ab sach bolo to duniya ko wo bhi gawara nahin. ussne apne sab boy friends se breakup kiya kyunki unka lund chhota tha. pati ka murder karwa diya kyunki uska kuch zyaada bada tha
r:- itni gandi baat soch bhi kaise sakte ho tum
v:- abhi andar zameen jaydaad ke documents dhoondh rahi hai. dekhna abhi mujhe degi taaki main kal jaa kar wo saari cheezein unke maa baap se cheen lun
r:- shut up vikas. its not funny anymore.
n:- vikas zara idhar aana.
v:- main ek minute aaya (hothon par badi muskaan liye vikaas bedroom mein chala gaya)
n:- yeh rahe saare bank accounts ke documents.
"okay" keh kar usne wo documents liye aur apni jeans mein stuff kar liye iss tarah ke unka thoda end jab se bahar ho aur nidhi ke saath drawing room mein aa gaya. "main yeh achchi tarah se inko padhta hoon aur kal batata hoon tumhein ke hum kya kar sakte hain. kaise wo sab ceezein waapas le sakte hain" usne Rahul ko sunaane ke liye yeh sab zor se bola.
Rahul ka chehra udhar dekhne layak tha. usko pakka yakeen tha ke vikas mazaak kar raha tha. par jo usne isko kaha ussi ke aagey waali baat nidhi se bhi kar raha hai. kahin vikas sach to nahi keh raha tha.... nahin yeh mumkin nahi hai... itna soch ke usne decide kiya ke engagement ring thode aur dinon tak uski jeb mein hi rahe to achcha hoga
n:- sorry rahul. chalo kaam khatam ho gaya. ab aaram se baatein karte hain
r:- kya dhoondh rahe thhe
v:- arrey bataya to tha tumhein kuch kagazaat thhe
n:- haan prem ke kuch kagaz thhe. vikas ko dikha rahi hoon. shayad wo madat kar sake meri
r:- oh achcha. aur batao kya chal raha hai. kal raat kya kiya
n:- kuch nahin, main aur vikas bahar gaye thhe. khaana khaaya aur aa gaye ghar pe. tum batao. (vikas nidhi ke yeh baat sunkar khush ho gaya. uske thode point badh gaye thhe rahul ke aage)
r:- kuch nahin. bas ghar pe aise hi baitha tha. movie dekh raha tha
v:- varsha se nahin mile kal
r:- (shakal se rang udd gaya uski) kaun varsha
v:- varsha gupta. arrey wo icici mein kaam karti hai jo
r:- main kyun milne laga usko
v:- kyun nahi miloge yaar. main to samjha tha ke uske saath tumhaara serious chal raha hai
n:- vikas in dono ka breakup hue kaafi time ho chuka hai. rahul ne mujhe bataya tha
r:- yaar tum mere upar nigrani rakh rahe ho kya??
v:- arrey nahin. asal mein varsha mili thhi 2 din pehle. wo pooch rahi thi ke tumhein jaanta hun ke nahin. usne mujhe breakup waali baat nahi batayi (vikas ne kisi tarah se baat ko sambhalne ki koshish kari. uska daav ulta pad gaya tha) aur batao, tumhaare ghar mein aur kaun kaun hai
r:- akela hoon. maa baap ka bachpan mein dehant ho gaya tha
v:- hey bhagwaan. maa baap ka bachpan mein dehant ho gaya tha to tum kaise hue?? mangal grah se speed post mein aaye kya
Ab nidhi zor zor se hasne lgi iss baat ko sunkar. vikas khush ho raha tha ke wo rahul ko uncomfortable kar raha hai. par pata nahi kyun usko lag raha tha ke rahul ek seedha insaan hai aur uske saath theek nahi kar raha wo.
r:- kya faaltu ki baat kar raha hai yaar. unke bachpan mein nahi, mere bachpan mein hua unka dehant. dada dadi ne paala. unke saath hi rehta hoon ab
n:- rahul dont mind par vikas bahut mazaakiya hai. sab se badi baat yeh hai ke isko pata nahi hai ke kya mazaak kab karna chahiye. kuch bhi kahin bhi bol deta hai. thoda pagal hai, par dil ka achcha hai
r:- dil ka kya achcha hai? tab se mera mazaak uda rahaa hai. maine bakri churayi hai kya iski??
v:- arrey yaar dil pe mat le. chal chhod.
n:- dekho vikas. yeh har waqt tum aise behave mat kiya karo. rahul itna achcha ladka hai, uska mazaak kyun udaate ho
v:- chalo ab mazaak udaana band. rahul pani peeyoge
r:- main wine laaya hoon.
v:- to wine peeyoge?
r:- zarur. tabhi to laya hoon
v:- to jab apne liye lene jao to hum dono ke liye bhi le aana. thoda gala sookh sa raha hai. (uska itna hi kehna tha ke wo aur nidhi fir se has pade)
r:- laata hoon saale laata hoon. ruk jaa. mera bhi samay aayega. tab dikhaata hoon
n:- arrey tum ruko rahul. main laati hoon. tum dono pyaar baato yahan (khilkhilaate hue andar chali gayi)
r:- yaar tujhko problem kya hai?
v:- tu meri problem hai. mujhe to pasand nahi hai
r:- kya bigaad diya hai maine tumhaara
v:- wo to waqt hi batayega. abhi ke liye itna information kaafi hai
r:- yaar maine socha tha tu meri help karega. tu to meri raah ka kaanta ban raha hai
v:- main koi help nahi karta kisi ki. ek bande ki help karni chaahi, usne itna bura phasa diya hai ke samajh nahi aa raha kya karun
r:- ekk baat poochun?
v:- nahin.
r:- kahin tum nidhi se..... (tabhi nidhi aa gayi aur unki baat kat gayi)
n:- lo aa gayi wine bhi. kya baat ho rahi thhi
v:- kuch nahin. aise hi ulti seedhi baatein kar raha tha rahul
n:- main nahi maanti. rahul tumhaari tarah nahi hai
r:- chalo chhodo in baaton ko. kis pachde mein phas gaye hain sabhi. (kehte hue rahul ne TV on kar diya aur music channel laga diya )
issi tarah se shaam guzarti rahi aur vidaai ka samay ho gaya. rahul pehle hi bahut uncomfortable feel kar raha tha apne upar jokes ko le kar isliye jaldi hi chal diya. nidhi, vikas aur prem reh gaye to vikas ne bank ke documents ko khol diya.
v:- kaun sa bank hai yeh. thoda vistaar se batao.
n:- pata nahin kya hai. lekin prem ne ek baar bataya tha ke yahan se paise nikalne mein bahut mushkilein aati hain. isliye maine kabhi koshish nahi kari. waise bhi uska aur uske papa ka joint account hai. to main to kahin se bhi picture mein nahin hoon
p:- yeh black money ko chupaane waala bank hai. yahan se paisa nikalne ke liye mujhe wahan hona bahut zaruri hai. mera sign lagega, kuch verification questions pooche jayenge. maine form bharte hue jo kuch bhi likha tha, wo poocha jayega. agar koi shakk hua to mere papa ko phone kiya jayega
v:- hmm aisa karte hain. main kal jaata hun iss bank mein. 3 din ki chuttu ki arzi maine online bhar di hain .dekhta hoon ke lafda kya hai saara.
n:- apna khayal rakhna vikas. kahin phas na jaana
v:- khayal rakhunga nidhi. (jitna abhi phasa hoon usse zyaada phasna to mumkin hai nahi aisa usne socha) chalo ab main chalta hoon. raat mein kuch jugaad ka sochta hoon
n:- ok vikas. good night. take care
v:- kal chalogi kya mere saath bank??
p:- bad idea. isko mat le kar jaana. koi lafda hua to yeh bhi phas jayegi. tujhe to nikalne ke liye main hoon, isko kaun nikaalega
n:- tum batao.. chalun kya?
v:- chalo rehne do. main dekhta hoon pehle ke lafda hai kya
n:- theek hain. main bhi 3 din ki chutti ki arzi de dungi. mujhe darr hai ke wo gunde kahin kaam pe na aa dhamke.
v:- baat to sahi hai. chalo ab kal dekhte hain. good night
ab vikas apne room mein pahunch gaya. uski halat kharab ho rahi thi. ek taraf itna dangerous kaam aur doosri taraf nidhi. nidhi ne jaise uske saare mastiksh pa rkoi jaadu kar diya thha. kuch bhi ho, wo uske khayal dimag se nahi nikal pata tha. usko apna haal bayaan bhi nahi kar paata thha yeh soch ke agar usne mana kar diya to uska kya hoga. prem ka kya hoga uski isko koi tension nahi thhi. nidhi ke baare mein sochte sochte vikas ko kab neend aa gayi, usko pata bhi nahi chala.
vikas ki haalat ko bayaan karta ek gaana
"abe uth saale. kitna soyega. bank nahi jaana kya" subah subah prem shuru ho gaya vikas ko uthaana. "chutti li hai iska yeh matlab nai hai ke shaam ko hi uthega. abhi chalte hain bank. aage ki planning bhi to karni hai"
"chalenge" kehta hua vikas doosri taraf muh kar ke so gaya
"lagta hai tu aise nahi maanega" kehte hue prem ne uske kaan ki taraf apni muh kiya aur zor zor se cheekhne laga
"kya hua" hadbadi mein vikas uth ke baitha
"kuch nahi hua. chalo tayyar ho. mujhe majboor mat karo ke main tumhein tortute karun" prem bahut utaawla tha kyunki uski wajah se hi nidhi pe itni mushkil aayi thhi
"haan haan uthta hoon" kehkar vikas bistar se uth gaya aur bathroom ki taraf jaane laga "ab peeche peeche andar bhi mat ghus jaana"
"aaj tak ghusa hoon kabhi?"
"aaj tak to mujhe chori karne ke liye bhi nahin kaha. aaj keh rahe ho naa" kehte hue vikas bathroom mein ghus gaya.
thodi der mein vikas ek dum tayyaar ho gaya jaane ke liye. "chalo main ek baar neha ke ghar hoke aata hoon. fir chalte hain"
"kyun jaa raha hai vahan?? rehne de. apan seedha chalte hain bank. itni kya jaldi padi hai"
"arrey ek baar dekh ke to aane do. kahin un gundon ne waapas pareshan to nahi kiya"
"badi chinta ho rahi hai tujhe" kehte hue dono chal pade nidhi ke flat ki ore. ghanti baji aur nidhi ne darwaaza khola aur apne hothon pe ungali rakh ke chup rehne ka ishaara kiya
"nahi kuch nahi rahul, wo vikas aaya hai. nahin nahin rakho mat. wo jaa hi raha hai" aur usne apni aankhon ke ishaare se vikas se poocha ke kya hua aur vikas ne bhi ishaaron mein samjha diya ke wo jaa raha hai bank
"yaar waise mujhe rahul bura aadmi nahi lagta.Ameer hai, successful hai, kind hai.." bank jaate hue vikas ne prem se bola
" tumhein kya lagta hai ke shaitaan jab aayega to kya apne laal seeng laga ke aayega ke logon dekho main aa gaya. darro mujhse ?? nahin... uske paas bhi ek achchi job hogi aur wo bhi khoob kama raha hoga. shayad charity bhi karega"
"to fir wo shaitaan kis baat ka? wo to devta samaan hi hua na"
"shaitaan isliye kyunki jab tum ek baar usse apna loge to wo tumhaari zindagi barbaad kar dega"
"hmm. waise mujhe to lagta hai ke rahul nidhi ke liye theek rahega. aur nidhi ko bhi shayad yeh hi lagta hai. tabhi poora waqt usse chipki rehti hai"
"mujhe aisa nahin lagta. mere khayal se humein nidhi ke liye ek ladka dhoondhna shuru karna chahiye. koi dhang ka banda milega, to apne aap rahul ko bhool jayegi"
"waise meri nazar mein hai ek ladka. job karta hai. theek thaak kamaa leta hai"
"hmm.. lamba hai?"
"zyada nahin. normal hi hai"
"bahut handsome hai?"
"zyada nahin. theek thaak"
"serious sa banda hoga, nahin to nidhi se kabhi milne ki ijaazat nahi dena usko. itne nuks usko kisi ek aadmi mein nahi pasand"
"serious to nahi hai. mast maula type hai thoda. thoda sa pet hai lekin zyaada nahi"
"nope. nahin banegi baat. main jaanta hoon nidhi ko"
"achcha.." kehte hue vikas thoda mayoos ho gaya
"ohh my god..."
"kya hua"
"tum apni baat kar rahe thhe.."
"wo..wo.."
"nahin tum sach mein apni baat kar rahe thhe.. tumne socha bhi kaise.." kehkar prem thahake laga laga ke hasne laga
"itna bhi funny nahin tha"
"arrey tum abhi mere saath ho isliye usse baat kar paate ho. tum mein aisa hai hi kya jo aisi hoor pari ko pata lo" haste hue prem ne bola
"mazaak kar raha tha. kyun dimag kha raha hai"
"arrey mazaak mein bhi.. tumne socha kaise..."
"saale bola na mazaak kar raha tha, bas khatam ho gayi baat ab" jhilaate hue vikas bola
"lo aa gaya bank. side mein rukwa do"
"abe yeh bank hai ke musuem" vikas ne andar ghus ke poocha. museum hi to tha wo. raja maharajao ke zamaane ki cheezein padi thhi wahan.
"wo reception dikh raha hai? wahan jaa ke uss ladki se pooch cigerette hai kya. wo jo kuch bhi kahe, uske baad kahiyo - darling mujhe apne haathon se ek cigerette pila do na" ab vikas gaya wahan aur keh diya jo prem ne kaha tha. waapas aaya to baya gaal ekdum surakh laal pada tha. kheech ke chappat khayi thi ussne us receptionist se. "aaj ke baad mazaak mein bhi mat sochna ke nidhi tumhaari ho sakti hai" prem ne kaha aur ishaara karte hue vikas ko apne peeche bulaya. wo ek kone mein gaye jahan guard khada tha. pooch isse ke prithviraj chauhan ka ghoda kahan milega"
"prithviraj chauhan ka ghoda kahan milega be" vikas ne bola
guard thoda side pe ho gaya aur dekha uske peeche ek darwaaza hai "yahan chale jaiye sahab, saare ghode yahin hain" kehte hue usne darwaaza khol diya. darwaaza ke andar jaa kar dekha to seedhiyan basement mein utar rahi thi. ujaala hone ke karan unhein neeche utarne mein koi dikkat nahi hui.neeche ek aur reception tha jo ki ek golakaar kamre ke beech mein tha. kamre ki deeware jaise lohe ki salaakhon se bani thhi aur har section ke peeche fir ek passage tha.
"isko bol ke account kholna hai" prem bola
"account kholne ke liye kya karna padega yahan pe" vikas ne uss aadmi se poocha. uska gaal abhi tak laal tha aur wo receptionist ussi ko dekh raha tha
"aapko kisne bheja hai? yahan pe sirf reference se hi accounts khulte hain"
p:- "bol shekhar shekhawat ne bheja hai"
"mujhe shekhar shekhawat ne bheja hai"
"zaroor zaroor baithiye sir. shekhawat ji to bahut purane customer hain. unke bete ka account bhi unhe ne hi khulwaya tha"
p:- poori security arrangement samajh isse ab
"mujhe security ki chinta hai"
"sir aap uski chinta mat kijiye. yeh jagah 24 ghante khuli rehti hai. kabhi bhi aaiye. yeh jitni salaakhein sekh rahe hain alag alag sections ki hain. har sections mein vault hain jo fully automatic hain. aapko unpe password dena hoga.ek baar password de diya, to aapki photo li jayegi. fir wo photo compare kari jayegi appki form ki photu se. agar password aur photu match hota hai, to vault khulega, nahin to saalkhein band ho jayengi aur 2 minute ke andar 25 guard yahan aa jayenge"
yeh sunkar vikas ki poori tarah phat gayi. usko yeh karya asambhav lagne laga tha. "hmm achcha hai. aisa karo, tum mujhe forms de do, main kal bhar ke aata hoon."
"kyun nahi sir. yeh lijiye. aaram se aaiyega. meri duty subah 8 se shaam 8 tak hoti hai. uske baad doosra banda milega. wo bhi aapki achchi tarah se help kar sakta hai"
"haan theek hai. laao forms. thanks. ek baat aur. mujhe apni email check karni thhi urgently. dekhna hai ke paise ka kya hua. kar sakta hoon?"
"zarur sir. mere comp pe baith jaiye. main thoda udhar ko khada ho jaunga"
"thanks" kehte hue vikas uske comp pe baith gaya
"kya kar raha hai yaar? aisi kaun si email hai"
"thodi tayyaari ke saath main bhi aaya hoon" kehte hue vikas ne ek hard disk numa cheez uske comp se jod di. "dekhen to yahan ka system kya hai" usne kuch button dabaye aur kuch files uss hard disk mein copy hone lagin. dekhane ke liye vikas ne apna email bhi khol diya. 2 minute mein saara data uski hard disk mein tha. "thank you very much yaar. tumne kaafi help kari. main aata hoon kal forms le kar" usne kaha aur prem ke saath bahar ho liya.
"yeh kya kar rahe thhe tum andar vikas"
"maine uske system ka software copy kar liya hai. ghar jaa ke test karunga ke main ismein hack kar sakta hoon ke nahin. agar kar paaya to bada aasan hoga."
"hmm. shikari lagte ho tum bhi"
"college mein masti ke liye karte thhe. pata nahin tha ke kabhi itni zarurat pad jayegi. chalo ghar chalte hain" kehte hue vikas ne taxi roki

vikas ghar aaya aur seedha uss external hard disk ko apne computer se jod liya aur lag gaya kuch karne mein. ab prem ke liye to yeh sabkuch jaise bilkul anjaana tha. wo wo idhar udhar ho gaya taake vikas disturb na ho. vikas us kaam mein itna mast tha ke usko pata hi nahi chala kitna time ho gaya.
"abe o. 10 ghante se laga hua hai iss karamphooter mein, batayega ke kuch ho bhi raha hai ya nahin" prem ne yeh bola to achanak se hi vikas ko realise hua ke wo kitni der se wahan baitha hai
"chal ho gaya kaam. tayyar ho jaa. paise nikalne jaana hai"
"achcha main naye kapde pehen leta hoon. naha dho leta hoon. arrey ek minute.. mujhe to marre kaafi time ho gaya hai aur main ek aatma hoon.. yeh sab nahi kar sakta. dimag kharab hai kya tera? abhi jayega? subah hi to ho ke aaye hain"
"main naha ke aata hoon. abhi dimag ka dahi mat kar. jo kehta hoon wo sun bas. tere photu ki jagah mera photu lag gaya hai. tere sign ki jagah mera sign lag gaya hai. bahut strong network thha lekin aakhir maine hack kar liya. ab bas humein jaana hai aur paisa nikaalna hai. 8 baj chuke hain to shift bhi change ho chuki hogi. bas yeh tanta abhi khatam karte hain. bahut ho gaya. ab aur nahi jhela jaata. bas tu soch le ke andar jaa kar kya karna hai, baaki main sambhal lunga" vikas ne muh dhote hue sab kuch prem ko bata diya
"arrey issi baat ka to darr hai. unka kaam hai paisa chupaana. mujhe lagta nahin yeh itna aasaan hoga. lekin chal, ab chal hi lete hain. wait karne ka mujhe bhi kuch faayda lag nahi raha" prem ne bhi seedhe shabdon mein vikas ko bol diya
vikas jaldi se fresh hua aur wo dono waapas nikal liye bank ki ore. musuem ki basement mein pahunche to dekha ke bheed bahut hai. to wo dono ek kone mein baith gaye aur apni baari ka intezaar karne lage. jaise jaise samay beet raha tha, waise waise vikas ki aur phatte jaa rahi thi. bahar se to usko yeh sab kuch bahut aasaan lag raha tha lekin ab usko yeh sab ek bad idea lagne laga tha. tabhi receptionist ne unki taraf ishaara kar ke unhein bulaya.
"haan ji sir. how can i help you"
"mujhe apne account se kuch paise nikalne hai"
"sir aapka account number batayenge"
v:- "account number bol"
p:- "yaad nahi hai mujhe."
v:- "abey fir paise kaise niklenge"
p:- "naam bata na re"
v:- "kiska naam"
p:- "mahatma gandhi ka bata de. mera naam hi batayega na jab mere naam se account hai to"
v:- "mujhe account number yaad nahi hai. Prem naam hai mera"
p:- "prem shekhawat"
v:- "prem shekhawat. shekhar shekhawat ka beta hoon"
receptionist - "ok sir ek minute rukiye. main manager ko bulaata hoon"
ab vikas ki phat ke 4... manager ne kuch ulta seedha pooch liya ya pehchaan liya to pata nahin kya hoga. usko paseena aane laga
p:- abey maatha poch. jisko shak nahi hai usko bhi yakeen ho jayega ke chori karne aaya hai.
vikas ne maatha pocha aur manager ka intezaar karne laga. tabhi usko saamne se ek gussail sa aadmi aata dikhayi diya. usko lag gaya ke wo hi manager hoga.
p:- kismat achchi hai.. iss manager ne kabhi mujhe dekha nahi hai
m:- sir good evening. i m here to help you. aap mere cabin mein aa jaiye. (kehta hua wo un dono ko apne cabin mein le gaya). sir mujhe kuch verification karna padega. aap baith jaiye. kuch peeyenge?
v:- no thank you. thoda jaldi karenge aap please.
m:- sir standard procedure hai. thoda time to lagega. aapka paisa surakshit bhi to rakhna hota hai na. date of birth ?
v:- meri
p:- pagala gaya hai kya... tere kutte ki poochega kya wo? 14th June 1984
v:- 14th June 1984 hai sir
m:- any identification marks on your body?
p:- mole on left testicle
v:- kyya !!!
p:- bol na be
v:- ji left tatte pe ek till hai
m:- any idea aapne apna account last kab access kiya tha?
p:- papa ne hi kiya hoga
v:- sir maine to kabhi nahi access kiya. ho sakta hai papa ne hi kiya ho. joint account hai na.
m:- aaj nahi aaye papa?
p:- gyaan de. bol de kuch. taal iss baat ko
v:- ji wo papa se jhagda ho gaya hai. wo to meri shakal bhi nahin dekhte. unko to mujhe beta kehne mein bhi sharam aati hai. lekin hum yeh baatein kyun kar rahe hain?
m:- hmm theek hai. tumhaari gharelu maamlon mein mujhe interest nahi hai. bas verification kar raha tha. chalo ab. you can operate you vault. jagah to yaad hogi na
p:- haan. salaakehin khulwa do
v:- offcourse yaad hai. thanks for everything. bas wo gate khulwa dena.
m:- yeah offcourse.
darr ke maare vikas ka bura haal tha. paseena aise choot raha tha jaise maano jharna beh raha ho. ac mein bhi usko garmi lag rahi thhi. kisi tarah se wo prem ke peeche peeche chala aur gate tak pahunch gaya. salaakhein khuli aur wo andar ho gaya.
andar dono taraf dher saare vaults thhe. har vault par keypad laga hua.
"seedha chalte jao. left corner waala apna hai" prem ne bola to vikas jaldi jaldi chalne laga. jab wo wahan pahuncha to prem ne usko password bataya "password hai 4nicat3".
"password yeh nahi hai, maine change kiya tha" kehte hue vikas ne 8055d1k3 daal diya.
"tumne password bossdike rakha.. aur kuch nahi mila tumhein?"
"he he he. kahin to dikhaana hota hai na ke hum sab ke baadshah hain" kehte hue vikaas ne kaanpte haathon se vault khola. usko darr tha ke kahin alarm na baj pade. lekin vault khul gaya aur uske andar ek bada sa suitcase tha
"ismein saare paise hai. poore honge." prem ne kaha to vikas ne jhat se suitcase nikal diya aur usko kholne laga "abe kya kar raha hai? ginega kya yahan baith ke?"
"arrey dekhne to se itne paise lagte kaise hain" kehte hue vikas ne suitcase khola. usko pata nahi kyun lag raha tha ke paise honge nahin, lekin wo bag noton se thasathas bhara hua tha."chalo ab chalte hain" poore din mein vikas ke muh par pehli baar muskaan aayi thi.
ab wo bag lekar saalakhon ke paar hue to vikas ne prem se bola, "yaar mujhe andaaza nahin tha ke inti aaram se kaam ban jayega. i rock"
"kalmuhe, kaali zabaan, gadhe... saamne manager ke saath dekh kaun khada hai"
"kaun hai wo??"
"mera baap. shekhar shekhawat. beta lag gayi aaj to. ho gaya saara kaam tamaam. our bluff has been caught"
v:- ohh shit.. ab kya karein
p:- pata nahin. jo karna hai tumko hi karna. wo mujhe nahi dekh sakte.. remember
v:- abe main kya karun (vikas ka haal ekdum bura tha). aise hi chalte rehte hain. shayad manager dekhega nahi humein
p:- sahi hai. mundi niche kar aur chalta reh (aur wo bank ke bahar pahunch gaye - aisa update hota agar kal deta.. lekin ab itna intezaar kiya hai to kuch to mazaa aana chahiye na )
ab wo dono ne socha hi tha ke manager ne unne dekh liya.
m:- prem sir. yahan aaiye ek baar.
shekhar - mere bete ka naam bhi prem tha
m:- tha kya. wohi hain. dekh lijiye. 100% wohi hain (kehte hue usne apna haath vikas ki taraf badha diya jo bahut karib aa chuka tha)
s:- yeh mera beta nahin hai
v:- (ab vikas bhi soch chuka tha ke aaj ya to aar ya paar. uske dimag mein ek hi idea tha ke kisi tarah se bank se bahar finkwa diya jaye taaki bas jaan bach jaye) to maine kab kaha ke aap mere papa ho (wo bhi garja)
s:- kaun hai yeh manager. kyun milwa rahe ho tum mujhe isse
m:- sir aapka beta hi to hai
s:- mera beta marr chuka hai
v:- haan aur aap bhi mere liye ussi din mar gaye thhe
s:- arrey sach mein yeh mera beta nahi hai manager
v:- dekha manager. maine kaha tha na.. saare rishte khatam kar chuke hain
s:- abe kaun se rishte.. hai kaun tu??
v:- jo bhi hoon. aapka beta nahin hoon
s:- manager door kar isse yahan se.. kyun dimag kharab kar raha hai mera. jo mera aur meri wife ka joint account hai, usse paise nikalne hai mujhe
v:- manager keh do inse ke yeh bhi mer eliye marr chuke hain.
m:- plz sahab. aap mujhe apni family problems mein mat ghusediye
s:- arey kaahe ki family?? yeh mera beta nahin hai. wo marr chuka hai
m:- sir maaf kar dijiye na. jo hua so hua. bhool jaiye
v:- inke maaf karne se kya hota hai? main inhe maaf nahi karunga. agar maine apni maa ko vachan na diya hota, to aaj hi inka....
s:- SECURITY... bahar phenko iss aadmi ko.. kyun mere muh lag raha hai pata nahi. MANAGER bolo security ko ke issko bahar phenke. (ab marta kya na karta. ek taraf wo aadmi jisne apne account se paisa nikaal liya tha aur shayad kabhi waapas na aaye, ( www.indiansexstories1.com ) doosri taraf uska loyal customer)
m:- security !! plz escort Mr. Prem out of here.
v:- chala jaunga main khud hi. aur haan yaad rakhna shekhar shekhawat, main mar jaunga lekin tujhe kabhi maaf nahi karunga.(kehta hua aur jhoot-moot ka natak karta hua vikas bahar chalne laga)
s:- kaise kaise log hain. aise hi gale pad raha hai. oye manager.. chal mera paisa nikalwa ab
p: arrey bach gaye.. aaj to kisi tarah se jaan bach gayi
v:- meri jaan bachi. teri to tu gava baitha hai
p:- kuch bhi.. aaj lagta tha ke fas gaye.. main to soch raha tha ke tu chakki peeste hue kaisa dikhega jail mein
v:- saale pehle to bada bol raha tha... ke tujhe bacha lunga, ab kyun phatt gayi teri
p:- arre bolne mein kya jaata hai... karne mein problem hai na. chalo jo kuch bhi hua. kam se kam paise to mil gaye
v:- paise to mil gaye.... phatt ke 8 ho gayi thhi meri andar samjha... mujhe bas apne koolhon pe police waalon ke dande mehsoons ho rahe thhe aur jail ki kalkothri ki smell aaa rahi thhi. wo to bhala ho ke bach gaye kisi tarah.. warna...
p:- haan haan. theek hai. ab ho gaya na khatam. ab ek baat bata... tu nidhi ko batayega kab?
v:- kya batana hai?
p:- mere baare mein yaar. tujhe yeh to nahi lag raha na ke main hamesha ke liye tere saath reh ke hi khush hoon?
v:- abe tere baare mein sochta kaun hai? mujhe pata hai ke main tere saath khush nahi hoon. aur main bhi tumhaare se jaldi se jaldi chutkaara paaana chahta hoon.
p:- to kab bol rahe ho usko ?
v:- mauka milte hi bol dunga. mujhe iss baat ka darr hai ke kahin wo maani nahi, to mujh se baat karna band kar degi, fir usse samjhana impossible ho jayega
p:- to koshish kar ke to dekh. shayad maan hi jaaye. aaj bata dena. wo zarur poochegi ke kaise mila, fir bata dena.
v:- theek hai. dekhte hain.
ab wo ghar pahunch gaye. aur vikas ko laga ke chalo sabse pehle nidhi ke hi yahan chala jaye
"tu pagal hai? suar ki tarah bheega hua hai paseene mein. thoda naha le. fir jaiyo aaram se"
"baat to sahi hai. chalo pehle ghar hi chalte hain." dihar wo apne flat mein gaya aur udhar nidhi ke flat se rahul nikal kar gaya jisko wo dono dekh na sake. thodi der mein vikas ek dum tayyar hua, paison ka briefcase uthaya aur chal diya nidhi ke yahan. nidhi ke darwaaze ki ghanti bajayi. usne darwaaza khola to dekha ke nidhi ki aankhein nam hain. "ky aho gaya? phir se phone aaya kya unka?"
"nahin. andar aa jao. kuch batana hai" nidhi ne bola. uski aankhon mein moti se aasoo saaf chalak rahe thhe
"haan bolo... kya hua"
"rahul aaya tha"
"to kya mukke maar ke gaya kya?? ro kyun rahi ho?"
"he proposed"
ab vikas babu ka chehra dekhne layak thha. itni mehnat karke, daaka daalne ke baad wo daana chura ke laaya aur yahan to murgi kissi aur se katne jaa rahi thhi. "kya matlab he proposed"
"mere se shaadi ke liye poocha usne stupid"
"to tumne kya kaha"
"kya lagta hai tumhein"
vikas ki saas mein saas aayi "mana kar diya hoga"
"rahul ka promotion ho gaya hai. kal shaam ko wo america jaa raha hai. wo chahta hai ke main uske saath hi jaoon"
"bhaad mein jaane do saale ko. main hoon na yahan"
"maine haan kar di"
"kya... tum mazaak kar rahi ho.. RAHUL !!!"
"main kyun mazaak karungi vikas? kya kami hai rahul mein? achchi zindagi de sakta hai mujhe. pyaar bhi bahut karta hai. shayad main yahan se chali jaoon to paise bhi na dene pade mujhe"
p:- abe jaanti nahi hai underworld waalon ko yeh. pataal se dhoondh ke nikaalenge.. tab rahul koi madat nahi karne waala iski
"tum chali jaogi to main inka kya karunga?" vikas ne suitcase table pe rakh diya aur khol ke nidhi ko dikhaya...
"kahan se laye itna paisa tum?"
"wo bahar raddi waala aaya tha. saste mein bech raha tha. maine le liye... kya lagta hai tumhein kahan se laya main yeh paise nidhi?"
"tum bank gaye thhe..."
"haan. bank gaya tha. prem ke account mein daaka daala hai maine. aur yeh sab maine tumhaare liye kiya hai nidhi"
"thank you very much vikas. i cant thank you enough for this"
"mat jaao nidhi. ruk jao. mana kar do rahul ko"
"ruk ke kya karungi vikas? ek nayi zindagi mera intezaar kar rahi hai. koi pagal hi hoga jo isko mana karega. waise tumhein yeh paise mile kahan se?"
"mere liye ruk jao nidhi. main tumhein rahul se zyaada pyaar dunga"
"Vikas please. mujhe packing karni hai. is time please mujhe chhod do..."
"nidhi tum mujhe chhod ke jaa sakti ho, lekin socho, mujhse bhagogi kaise.. kismat ne humaari zindagiyan aapas mein aise hi nahi baandhi hain"
"vikas tum pagal ho gaye ho? bas kyunki maine tumhein hi hello kar di iska yeh matlab nahi hai ke tumhaari aur meri jodi upar se bankar aayi hai"
"nidhi... mujhe prem dikhta hai"
"what non sense vikas. tum pagal ho gaye ho kya. get out??"
"nidhi usne mujhe help kari aaj paisa nikalne mein. accident ke baad i dont why par wo mujhe dikhne laga. uski aatma yahin bhatak rahi hai. wo tumse kuch kehna chahta hai nidhi"
"vikas mujhe lagta hai ke tum bilkul paagal ho gaye ho. tum yahan se abhi nikal jao. mujhe tumhaare paise nahi chahiye. uthao inhein aur daffaa ho jao"
"nidhi main sach keh raha hoon. plz baat to suno meri."
"tumhein sharam aani chahiye vikas ek vidhwa se uske pati ke baare mein jhooth bolte hue. tumhein andaaza bhi nahin hai ke tumne aaj mujhe kitna dukh pahunchaaya hai. i really liked you vikas. Ho sakta hai ke aaj main tumhaare saath ruk jaati.. but you are reallly sick. bimar ho tum. ilaaj karwao kisi doctor se apna"
ab vikas nidhi ko yakin dilaane ke liye usse prem ke baare mein baatein batata chala gaya. prem bole jaa raha tha aur wo nidhi ko bataye jaa raha tha. wo prem ki bahut saari baatein usse batata chala gaya.. usse laga ke ab to nidhi ko yakeen hona chahiye
"vikas u really r a psycho.. kab se follow kar rahe ho mujhe?? kahan se mili tumhein yeh information?"
"mujhe prem ne bataya"
"prem prem prem.. marr chuka hai wo.. kaise bataya usne tumhein"
"wo mere saath rehta hai. uski aatma yahin hai"
"uff oh vikas. kyun torture kar rahe ho mujhe. tumhein lagta hai ke main tumhaari baat maan jaungi?"
"tum mujhse kuch aisi baat poocho jo tum dono ke siwa kisi ko nahin pata thhi"
"hmmm" ab nidhi bhi usse peecha chudaane ke liye kuch sochne lag gayi..."batao humne apne beton ka kya naam rakhne ka socha tha"
vikas ne palat kar prem ki taraf dekha. "Raj agar ladka, ranjini agar ladki"
Nidhi ghoor ghoor ke vikas ko dekh rahi thhi"kya prem abhi bhi yahin hai"
"haan" vikas dheere se bola
uske aage jo hua uske liye vikas katayi tayyaar nahi thha. nidhi khadi hui aur ek kheech ke tamaacha uske gaal pe maara. fir usne wo suitcase uthaya aur vikas ki taraf de maara. "tum kitna jhoot bologe vikas kitna. nahin chahiye mujhe tumhaare paise bhi. pata nahin kiska chura ke laye ho. hath jod kar tumse kehti hoon ke mere ghar se nikal jao. na to tumhaara prem sacha hai, na hi uske bataye gaye naam"
Vikas ne peeche mud ke dekha to prem sach mein gayab thha. ab nidhi bhi rone lagi thhi. vikas ko pata thha ke iss samay usska kuch kehna ya kuch samjhana bekaar hai. shayad wo nidhi se pyaar karke ke apna aakhri chance kho chuka tha. "yeh paise tumhaare prem ke hain. tumhaari amaanat hain. tum rakho. mujhe inka kuch nahi karna" kehkar wo kamre se bahar nikla aur apne flat mein chala gaya
vikas apne bed par let kar bas nidhi ke hi baare mein soch raha tha. wo jitna uske baare mein sochta jaa raha tha, utna hi wo usse apne se door hoti jaa rahi thi. bas kal raat tak ka time thha uske paas. uske baad shayad nidhi ko kabhi nahi dekh payega. ek ladki jisko wo itne saal tak chahta raha, jisko paane ka sapna pehle usne dekhne ki bhi nahi sochi thhi, aaj wo itni paas aakar usse door ho gayi thhi. Usko paane ke jo armaan usne piroye thhe, aaj un sab pe paani fir gaya tha. lekin iska dosh wo apne upar kaise le sakta hai? usne to bilkul sach bola tha. sab kuch sach. zindagi mein pehli baar shayad usne itni sachhai se koi baat kisi se kari thhi, lekin yeh saala prem .. time pe dhokha de gaya. jiss prem ke liye usne apni jaan jokhim mein daali, jis prem ki baatein usne din raat suni, jis prem ka wo eklauta aasra bana, aaj ussi ne usko ghodi bana diya.
"prem.. kahan ho tum.. main jaanta hoon yahin kahin chup ke baithe ho. niklo bahar. baat karo mujhse. kyun.. kyun kiya yeh sab mere saath tumne" ab vikas ka gussa charam seema pe thha .. wo apne aape se bahar tha. aankhein ekdum soorkh laal. jaise khoon utar aaya ho. lekin prem to kahin dhoondhne par bhi nahi milta usko. gusse mein wo flat se bahar nikal gaya aur chal pada apne purane adde ki taraf. jaise jaise wo bar ki taraf badh raha tha, wo jaanta thha ke wo ussi zindagi ko waapas apnane jaa raha hai jisko accident ke baad chhod diya tha. wo jaanta tha ke ek baar usne iss aadat ko waapas apna liya to uski zindagi tabah ho sakti hai. ho sakta hai abki baar usse bachane koi prem ya nidhi na aaye. lekin iss waqt uske mann mein itni khudas aur gussa tha ke wo anjaam ki parwah kiye bagair fir daaru ke nashe mein ghulne ko tayyaar ho gaya.
Raat ko kisi tarah se ladkhadate hue usne apne flat ka darwaaza khola, aur andar aa kar dhamm se gir gaya bistar par. neend uski aankhon se koso door thhi. dimaag tivra gati se chakkar kha raha tha. bistar par lete hue bhi usko aisa lag raha tha jaise kisi bawandar mein fasa hua hai. usko kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha tha ke kya chal raha hai. reh reh kar nidhi ki yaadein kaundhti thhi dimag mein. kabhi wo has rahi hoti thhi, kabhi ro rahi hoti thhi, kabhi bas yun hi usse dekh rahi hoti thhi to kabhi chaata mar rahi hoti thhi. Vikas ka dimag theek hone ki bajaye aur kharab hota jaa raha tha. usne decide kar liya ke abhi jayega aur saari baatein nidhi se clear kar lega.
wo bistar se uthne ki koshish karne laga par aisi haalat mein woh uth nahi paa raha tha. kisi tarah se girte padte usne apne room ki batti jalayi. saamne hi prem baitha tha. usko dekhkar aur gussa aaya vikas ko aur wo usko maarne ke liye uski taraf badha
"saale. ehsaan faramosh. yeh sila diya tune mujhe. kamine... kyun aaya hai ab yahan. bhaag ja yahan se. koi madat nahi karne waala teri main"
"haalat dekhi hai tune apni? kisi madat ki umeed bhi nahi hai mujhe tere se. "
"bata kyun diya itna bada dhokha tune mujhe... kyun sahi time pe mere saath nahi raha"
"tumhein sharam aani chahiye yeh bolte hue vikas. apni haalat ko to dekho. tumhein lagta hai ke kabhi nidhi ko khush rakh paate tum?"
"main usse bahut pyaar karta tha, karta hoon aur karta rahunga. tum kaun hote ho mujhe tokne waale. mujh se gidgidaate hue to tumhein main bahut achcha lag raha tha. ab kaam nahi bana to mujhe khari khoti sunaoge"
"abey chod tu in baaton ko. rahul tujhse har maamle mein achcha hai. wo nidhi ko bahut khush rakh sakta hai. main bahut khush hoon ke nidhi uske saath jaa rahi hai aur tumhaare saath nahi hai."
"haan haan manao khushiyan. dekhta hoon kitne din khush rehte ho. aakhir mein waapas to mere paas hi aaoge na. rahul ke through message thode bhijwa sakte ho"
"tumhein pata hai ke tum kitne ghatiya, selfish aur chotti soch waale insaan ho?? aisa aadmi mere roop mein ek baar nidhi ki zindagi mein aa chuka hai, aur main nahi chahta ke meri wajah se waapas uski zindagi mein aaye. kehte hain ke apne sabhi paapon ka prayshchit insaan ko yahin karna hota hai. main samajh lunga ke ek bhoot banke is dharti pe rehna hi meri behavior ka prayshit tha. aur main bahut khush rahunga yeh jaan ke ki tum uski zindagi barbaad nahi kar rahe meri wajah se"
"nikal jaa yahan se saale. ehsaan faramosh. kutte. shakkal bhi nahin dekhni mujhe teri. saale peeth pe waar kiya hai tune. sadta reh ab dharti par. dekhte hain kaun poochta hai tujhe" gusse mein vikas thoda aage badha to nashe mein ladkhada kar gir gaya aur so gaya.
vikas ko aise behosh pade dekh prem ko bhi bahut gussa aa raha tha. wo reh reh ke soch raha tha ke kyun bhagwaan ne uska paala aise ghatiya aadmi se baandha, jo doosron ki fikar to door, apna khayal bhi theek se nahi rakh paata hai. Upar se usko reh reh ke wo photu ki yaad aati thhi jo uss din vikas nidhi se chupa raha tha. prem ne dekh liya tha ke vikas aur nidhi photo mein ek saath hai aur usko maamla samajhne mein der nahi lagi thhi. wo jaan gaya tha ke vikas uska sahara le kar sirf nidhi ke karib aana chahta hai aur uski help karna ka koi intention nahi rakhta. Usne tabhi mann bana liya tha ke wo vikas jaise galeech aadmi ko nidhi se kabhi sambandh nahi rakhne dega. Aur isi liye aaj usne vikas ko jhoothe naam bata diye thhe. andar hi andar wo bahut khush tha ke vikas aur nidhi ki dosti toot gayi hai, lekin apni haalat pe usko aur bhi daya aa rahi thhi. lekin yeh soch ke ki jis bhagwaan ne usko vikas se milwaya hai, wo kisi aur se bhi milwa dega, prem wahan se chala gaya.
Vikas ki neend seedha jaa kar dopahar ko hi khuli. ghadi mein ek bajne ko tha aur usko zabardast hangover ho raha tha. wo jaa ke nahaya dhoya aur laga apna lunch banane. saath mein wo yeh bhi soche jaa raha tha ke ab wo aage kya kare. uska dil yeh maan-ne ko tayaar hi nahi tha ke nidhi se uska saath choot gaya hai. usne poori dopahar bas yeh sochne mein guzaar di ke kaise jaake nidhi se baat cheet waapas start kare lekin koi upay nahi nikla. shaam tak koi upay na nikalne se usne socha ke chalo aise hi jaa ke ek baar mil lete hain nidhi se, aur kuch nahi to kam se kam see off hi kar denge. aisa soch kar wo nidhi ke flat ki taraf chal pada.
Wahan pahuncha to usne dekha ke darwaaza thoda sa khula hua hai. usne 2 baar ghanti bajayi lekin koi aaya nahin. kuch soch kar wo ghar ke andar ghus gaya. andar ghar ki halat kharab thhi. saara samaan bikhra pada tha. vikas ko laga jaise chori hui hai ghar mein aur uska dil zor zor se dhadakne lag gaya. usne socha ke waapas jaa kar police ko khabar karega. jaise hi wo peeche muda ek ghusaa uske muh pe aa ke laga aur chaaro taraf andhera chaa gaya.
jab uski aankh khuli to usko sab dhundhla dhundhla dikhayi de raha tha... dheere dheere wo adjust hua to paya nidhi ke flat mein hi hai. usne apne haath uthaane chaahe to paya ke uske haath aur pair kursi se bandhe hain.
"koi hai" wo zor se chillaya "kya chal raha hai yahan? mujhe kholo"
:aa gaya hosh tujhko miyan.. kab se teri awaaz sunne ko kaan taras rahe thhe" ek lamba chauda aadmi uske paas aa kar bola
"kaun ho tum" vikas thoda darr raha tha
"abe kya karega jaan ke hamaari tareef?? teri chammak challo kahan hai?"
"kiss ki baat kar rahe ho?"
"jiske ghar mein tu hai shaane.. zyaada hoshiyar mat ban nahin to gaand mein goli maar dunga. ek mahine tak hag nahi payega.."
"kya chahte ho tum"
"tujhe to nahi chahta. bata de nidhi kahan gayi hai aur nikal le apni jaan hath mein le ke.. warna murde se pata nikalwaunga"
"mujhe sach mein nahi pata ke wo kahan hai"
"abe hoshiyaari chaatni band kar aur jaldi bata ke wo kahan hai warna yeh bandook dekhi hai, usko itna andar ghusa ke chalaunga ke internal beleeding se hi mar jayega"
"arrey band kar apni bakwaas. bahut ho gaya. agar mujhe pata hota ke wo yahan nahi hai to main kya jhaadu maarne aata iss samay yahan. bahut bak raha hai tu. hai kaun" jaan ka thikaana nahi tha, fir bhi uski akkad nahi gayi thhi
"teri darling ne paise chukaane hai humaare... 50 lakh.... aaj dene thhe usko, pata nahin kahan bhaag gayi hai" tabhi uss aadmi ka phone baj uthav"hello... haan shekhawat sahab... kya baat kar rahe ho... 50 laakh chori kar liye... koi photu wagerah hai kya launde ka.... haan nikalwa lo, main kal aake photu leta hoon. fir dekhta hoon ke kya kiya jaye uska" kehkar usne phone kaat diya. "munna .. o munna. kahan chupa hai be... suna tune.. kisi ne shekhar sahab ke ladke ke account se 50 lakh rs chura liye hain. saala aajkal choron ke ghar bhi chori hone lagi hain... kal jaa ke unse wo launde ka photu le lena... bank ke camere se nikalwaane gaye hain wo... dekhta hoon kiski itni himmat aa gayi ke ismail bhai ke area mein chori karne laga" usne apne saathi se bola
Vikaas ko o ab jaise kaato to khoon nahi. na kewal nidhi paise le kar laapata ho gayi thhi, balki usski chori bhi pakdi gayi thi. kya hoga uska ab... kaise bachayega apni zindagi in khooniyon se.. kya yehi uski zindagi ka ant hai... ya uski kismat mein kuch aur likha hai...
"tu batayega ke ladki kahan hai ya daalu gaand mein pistol"
"arrey nere baap.. nahi pata mujhe kahan hai wo.. kyun mere peeche pade ho"
"lagta hai tu aise nahin batayega. o munna.. la to tera tamancha... iska main aaj hi game over kar daalta hoon"
"ruko ruko. mujhe pata nahin hai ke wo kahan hai.. par kal wo kisi ke paas jaane ke liye keh rahi thhi"
"chal fir tote ki tarah shuru ho ja aur bakk daal sab kuch"
"kholo pehle mujhe. haath dard kar rahe hain mere"
"abe shaane.. bandook mere paas hai, gunda main hoon, sawaal main kar raha hoon, jaan teri jaane waali hai.. fir tu mujhe kaise order de raha hai?? abe koi isse samjhao ke yahan mera hukm chalega.. aur mera hukm yeh hai ke tu uss ladki ka pata bol daal"
"dekho mujhe maar ke tumhein kuch nahi milega. lekin agar tumne mujhe khol diya to main shayad tumhaari koi madat kar paoo"
"abe tu kya logic de ke meri gaand maar raha hai be... jaldi bata warna aaj tu gaya" kehte hue ussne apni revolver nikaal ke vikas ki kanpatti pe rakh di
"kal wo kuch keh rahi thhi ke yeh sheher chhod kar chali jayegi Rahul ke saath"
"kaun rahul be... "
"uska koi boy friend hai..."
"aaila mind blowing... pati ki chitta ki raakh thandi hote hi rangraliya start. yeh ladki to kamaal ki lagti hai yaar. kahan milega rahul?"
"main bas usse ek-do baar mila hoon. mujhe pata nahi ke wo kahan rehta hai"
"poora naam bataa... hum nikalwa lenge address"
"nahi malum"
"abe fir tereku maaloon kya hai be?? laundiya ke itne paas rehkar bhi tune kisi anjaan ko kaise le jaane diya re wo mast maal?? tere jaise mard se to saala napunsak hona hi theek hai. bol kar doon tujhe napunsak ya pata batayega" kehte hue wo zor zor se hasne laga.
Tabhi darwaaze ki ghanti baji to ismail thoda chonk gaya.."o munna dekh to kaun hai aur usse pyar ke saath yahan par le aa"
"abhi laya bhaai"
"lagta hai teri laundiya aa gayi"
lekin wahan nidhi nahi rahul khada tha. vikas ki haalat dekh kar uske bhi chehre ka rang udd gaya tha. vikas ne usko dekha aur kuch ishaara kiya
"kaun hai be tu" ismail ne pooche
"yeh vikas hai. nidhi ka dost." bina kuch soche samjhe vikas ne jhat se bol diya
"achcha. to tu kaun hai"
"main bhi vikas hoon"
"abe kaisa vikas ho raha hai is desh mein... do laundon ke saat hote hue laundiya kisi rahul ke saath bhaag gayi. o vikas number 2... kahan hai be teri dost?" Rahul ko samajhte der na lgi ke yeh nidhi ko dhoondh rahe hain aur inko rahul ke baare mein kuch pata hai.
"ji pata nahin. main to bas aise hi milne aaya tha"
"ha ha ha... chal tu bhi idhar aa ke baith jaa. jab tak laundiya nahi milti, tum dono yahin sadoge. saala mera 50 lakh le kar bhaagi hai.. usko to main pataal se bhi dhoondh nikalunga"
"arrey maine kya kiya hai.. main to milne aaya tha bus, ab wo hai nahin to main chalta hoon. main message chhod deta hoon uske liye. wo aayegi to mujhe phone kar degi.. agar aap apna number mujhe de do to main fir aapko bata dunga... aap bhi kyun yahan sadd rahe hain" Rahul darr se thartharaate hue bola
" abe o mutter ke aakhri daane... mujhe kya doodh peeta bachcha samjha hai tune? party chal rahi hain yahan? baith yahan warna gaand mein itni goliyan daag dunga ke jab chalega to aisa lagega ke ghunghroon baj rahe hain. baith saale"
ab marta kya na karta, rahul bhi baith gaya vikas ke saath waali kursi pe. abhi simail aur kuch pooch pata ke tabhi darwaaze pe ek aur ghanti baji.
"abe yeh ghar hai ke dharamshala hai re. koi na koi aata hi rehta hai. munna.. o munna... le kar aa re pyaar se jo bhi aaya hai usko"
jab munna ki awaaz nahi aayi to ismail bhai khade hue aur peeche mud ke dekha.
"hands up ismail. kab tak bachte rahoge police se. mujhe pata tha ke ek na ek din pakka phasoge" police inspector ne bola. "tum kya samajhte ho ke guard ko behosh karke andar ghus jaoge aur kisi ko pata nahi chalega. hawaldaar, laga do inhein hathkadi aur le chalo jeep mein. issko to iss baar itni lambi sazaa dilwaunga ke yaad rakhega"
"ha ha ha inspector.. naye aaye ho kya... 2 din se zyada nahi rakh paoge mujhe. aur ek baar main nikal gaya, fir tujhe mujhse kaun bachayega ismail haste hue bola. usko pata tha ke uski giraftaari ki khabar milte hi koi na koi minister phone karke usse bahar nikalwa hi dega. "aur sun lo tum dono. 2 din mein jab main bahar aaunga, to chup chap mujhe yahan ladki aur paise mil jaane chahiye. nahin to tum dono ki khair nahin" usne hawaldaar ke saath jaate hue bola
Rahul aur vikas ki jaan mein jaan aayi. dono ki aisi haalat thhi jaise maut ka farishta unhein choom ke nikal gaya ho. police ke kuch sawaalon ka jawaab de kar, dono vikas ke flat mein aa gaye aur baith gaye.
"yeh sab kya tha vikas"
"nidhi ke pati ne in logon se kuch paise liye thhe"
"haan jaanta hoon"
"jaante ho?"
"haan. nidhi ne mujhe bataya tha. maine apni saari property girvi rakh ke 50 lakh ka intezaam kiya tha aur kal raat usse diye thhe wo saare paise"
"ohh shit !!"
"kya hua..."
"rahul tum aaj foreign jaane waale thhe na nidhi ko le kar"
"aaj nahi kal raat ko jaana hai. isi silsile mein main usse milne aaya tha. lekin tumhein kya hua"
"rahul hum dono ka kat gaya hai..."
"matlab??"
"matlab nidhi tumse 50 lakh le kar aur mujhe se 50 lakh le kar faraar ho gayi hai"
"kya bakte ho!!!"
"sahi bol raha hoon. kal main prem ke bank gaya tha.. wahan pe prem ke alias mein, maine uske account se paise nikale aur raat ko aa ke nidhi ko de diye thhe"
"chori kari tumne?"
"haan. aur sabse badi baat yeh hai ke meri chori pakdi bhi gayi hai. prem ke baap ne issi gunde ko phone kiya tha chori batane ke liye. agar yeh hawalaat se bahar aa gaya, to meri khair nahi hai"
"ohh my gawd.... yeh kaise ho gaya... mujhe yakeen nahi aa raha ke nidhi mere saath aisa karegi...meri saari property..."
"tumhaare saath aisa karegi.... Rahul tumhaare paas abhi bhi job hai aur tum foreign jaa ke bach jaoge. reh jaunga main. ek mujrim. koi bhi kabhi bhi yahan mujhe tapka sakta hai aur kisi ko khabar bhi nahi hogi. usne mere saath zyaada bada khel khela hai" dono kuch der baith kar, aankhein jhuka kar sochte rahe. aage kya karna hai dono mein se kisi ke samajh mein nahi aa raha tha. pyaar mein andhe ho kar dono ne aisa kaam kar diya tha jisse unki aage ki zindagi par ek prashan chinh lag gaya tha. "rahul meri madat karo plz"
"main kaise madat kar sakta hoon vikas..."
"mujhe apne saath le chalo america. kuch din ke liye apne paas rakh lo, main koi na koi job dhoondh kar apna guzaara kar lunga. tumhaare paas nidhi ke naam ki ticket to hogi hi, bhi naam hi change karna hai tumhein"
"aur visa... wahan ka visa kaise lagega tumhaara??"
"meri company ne pehleh hi visa lagwa diya hai. asal mein main shayad 2-3 mahine mein wahan jaane hi waala tha kaam ke silsile mein, lekin ab mere paas itne din nahi hain. dekho main tumhaare aage daya ki bheekh maangta hoon. agar mere liye nahin to kam se kam maine tumhaara naam chupa ke tumhaari jaan bachane ki koshish kari thhi ismail ke aage, uske khaatir meri madat kar do"
"pata nahi vikas... i..i... chalo theek hai.. main sab dekhta hoon. kal tayyaar rehna. we will leave tomorrow"
"thank you rahul. sach mein thank you." vikas aur rahul ek baar gale mile aur fir rahul chala gaya mayoos ho kar apne ghar. usse abhi bhi yakeen nahi aa raha tha ke jisko usne apna dil diya, ussi ne uske saath vishwasghaat kiya. yeh achcha thha ke wo yeh desh se bahar jaa raha tha kal. nahin to shayad is gham mein yahan pagal hi ho jaata.
"ma'am would you like to have something"
"1 glass of champagne please. i m feeling pretty tired"
"sure ma'am. i will get that for you"
champagne peete peete nidhi sochne lagi ke kitni aasani se usne do logon ko murkh bana diya. vikas to bechara aise hi phas gaya.uske nazar to sirf rahul pe hi thhi. jis din usne vikas ko dekha tha, wo ussi din usse pehchaan gayi thhi. usse yaad aa gaya tha ke vikas uske college mein uske saath padhta tha aur poora waqt usko ghoorta tha. dheere dheere usko realise ho gaya tha ke vikas ko bhi ullu banana bahut aasan hai. aur aaj ussi ullu ki badolat, wo 50 lakh ki bajaye, ek crore le kar america jaa rahi thhi hamesha hamesha ke liye. ek naya desh, ek nayi pehchaan... wo apni zindagi waapas shuru karegi.. jin shoukon ko wo prem ki wajah se poora nahi kar payi, wo sab poora karegi. jahan tak rahul aur vikas ka sawaal thha, usse yakeen tha ke wo dono ab kabhi usse nahin milenge.
Vikas ek bahut hi mushkil bachpan se nikalna waala aadmi hai. apne maa baap ke dehant ke baad usko apne chacha chachi se kabhi wo pyar nahi mila jo usko lagta thha ke wo deserve karta hai. baalig hote hi usko pata chala ke uske maa baap uske liye bahut paise chhod gaye thhe, jinko le kar wo sheher aa gaya. College ke dauran usko nidhi se ek tarfa pyaar hua jiska izhaar karna to door, wo nidhi se kabhi baat bhi nahi kar paya. Samay ke saath usko daaru ki latt lag gayi aur wo ek nihayti selfish aadmi ban gaya. ek jaan leva accident ke baad uski mulakat prem se hui jo ki ek aatma thhi aur apni mukti ke liye bhatak rahi thhi. Kisi tarah se prem ne usko apni madat ke liye mana liya. kaam bas itna thha ke vikas ko prem ki biwi ko yakeen dilana thha ke Prem utna bura nahi thha jitna wo samajhti thhi. kaam aasaan hoga soch ke vikas ne haan kar di. prem ki biwi uski college ki dilbara nidhi nikli. Ab usse pataane ki koshish mein Vikas ne kayi paapad bele aur ek bank bhi loota. jab vikas ko laga ke ab sab theek ho gaya hai tabhi ek aur pahaad toot gaya aur nidhi paise le kar bhaag gayi. vikas hi nahi, nidhi ne Rahul ke bhi paise le liye thhe. Rahul ne vikas ko america relocate hone mein madat karne ka waada bhi kiya.
Kehte hain toote dil ka koi ilaaj nahi hota. jab dil toot jaata hai to saare jahan se nafrat ho jaati hai aur gusse mein aadmi khud ko barbaad karne ko tayyaar ho jaata hai. aisa hi kuch vikas ke saath bhi hua thha. Nidhi ke pyaar mein wo itna pagal ho gaya thha ke uss dhokhe ne usski zindagi ko fir ussi barbaadi ki raah par daal diya thha jahan se woh uss pyaar ke sahare nikla thha. America aaye hue usse ek hafta beet gaya thha. usski kismat achchi thhi ke usski company ne usse itni jaldi accomodate kar diya thha apni america ki branch mein. Aaj wo Rahul ke ghar se nikal kar apne flat mein bhi shift ho gaya thha. iss ajnabi desh mein usko sirf apni bottal ka hi sahara thha. wo na kisi se koi baat karta, na kisi se milta. ghar par daru peeta aur kaam par hangover se jhoojhte hue jo ho sake, utna kaam karta. usski zindagi aise hi chale jaa rahi thhi. reh reh kar ussko nidhi ka khayaal aata. wo sochta ke wo kahan hogi aur kaisi hogi. jiss nidhi ko usne itna pyaar kiya thha, wo usko itna bada dhokha de kar nikal gayi lekin fir bhi usski chahat usske dil se nikal nahi payi thhi.
Aaj shaam bhi wo pee ke achchi tarah se talli thha. reh reh kar usske vichaaron mein nidhi aati jisse usko prem ke upar aur bhi gussa aata. ussko prem se iss baat ki khundas nahi thhi ke wo ussko aise beech mein chhod ke chala gaya. ussko gussa iss baat ka thha ke jiss pyaar ko wo lagbhag bhula chuka thha, prem ki wajah se wohi pyaar se uska waapas saamna ho gaya thha. jis dard ke saath usse jeene ki aadat pad chuki thhi, prem ne wo dard bhula kar kuch haseen sapne usse dikhaye jo pure nahin ho sake. uss din ke baad se prem kabhi bhi usse nahi dikha thha aur usse laga thha ke uska peecha choot chuka hai prem se. Usko iss baat ka bilkul bhi dukh na thha. daru peete peete usse hichkiyan aane lagi to wo paani peene ke liye kitchen ki taraf gaya aur fridge khol ke paani peene laga. paani peete hue usse ehsaas hua ke usske peeche koi khada hai. peeche palat kar ussne dekha to koi nahin thha. usse socha ke nashe ke karan aisa hua hai aur bottal ko fridge mein rakh kar apne bistar ki taraf jaane laga.
ladkhadate hue jab wo bistar ki taraf jaa raha thha to usko thokar lagi aur zameen par gir gaya. apna chehra jab usne upar uthaya to uski aankhon ne bistar ke neeche kuch pada hua dekha. jab wo ragad ke bistar ke aur paas hua to usske hosh udd gaye. bistar ke neeche koi ladki chuppi hui thhi. uski aankhein soorkh laal thhi aur chehra bilkul safed. sar se paaon tak wo ek safed rang ke pardarshi gown mein thhi. darr ke maare vikas jhat se khada hua to usne dekha ke wohi ladki ab saamne uske bistar par baithi hai aur usse ghoor rahi hai. wo vikas ko ishaara kar ke apni taraf bulane lagi. Darr ke maare vikas do kadam peeche hua aur fir ladkhada ke gir gaya. ab wo "ladki" deewaron par rengti hui seedha uske sar ke upar aa gayi thhi. Usske lambe safed daant vikas ko saaf dikh rahe thhe. tabhi unn daaton mein se khoon ki ek boond aa kar vikas par giri. darr ke maare vikas behosh ho gaya.
Subah jab vikas ki aankh khuli sirf 7 hi baje thhe. dard se uska sar phataa jaa raha thha. apne aap ko zameen pe sota dekh vikas ne apne dimag par thoda zor daala aur usko kal shaam ki saari baatein dhyaan aayi. yeh baatein dhyaan mein aate hi fir uske hosh udd gaye. usske jism ke rom rom kaanpne laga. wo khud ko samjhane laga ke yeh sab daru ke nashe ne hi kiya hai, lekin wo ehsaas abhi tak uske rongte khade kar raha thha. wo zameen se utha, apna muh dhoya aur thodi der ke liye bahar nikal gaya. office mein 3 din ki chutti thhi aur vikas ko koi idea nahi thha ke wo in 3 dinon mein kya karega. wo bas muh uthaye chale jaa raha thha jahan bhi uske kadam usko le kar jaa rahe thhe. thhodi der mein hi wo park mein pahuncha. wo bahut thakk gaya thha aur usska poora shareer paseene mein dooba pada thha. wo park mein ek bench par baith gaya aur logon ko jogging karte hue dekhne laga.
Wo paas mein lage water dispenser pe jaa kar paani pee raha thha ke tabhi ek kutta bhaagta hua uski taraf aaya. wo jaldi se water fountain se door hua. kutta uski taraf aaya aur zor zor se usko dekhkar bhonkne laga. kutta ek cocker spaniel thha aur chup hone ka naam nahi le raha thha. vikas tezi se uski taraf badha taaki usko ek laat maar sake lekin jaise hi uski taraf badha, kutta rota hua idhar udhar bhaagne lag gaya. tabhi kutte ki maalkin bhi wahan aa gayi jisne vikas ko ussko maarne ke iraade se aage badhte hue dekh liya thha.
"arrey kya kar rahe ho tum.. kyun maar rahe ho bechaare ko" usne fatafat se kutte ke gale mein lagi chain ko pakkadte hue bola
"bechaara ?? mujhe kaatne aa raha thha... khud ko katwaane se achcha maine usse maarna samjha..."
"mera pingu kisi ko nahi kaat ta.. aur tumhein sharam aani chahiye aise kisi bezubaan jaanwar par atyachaar karte hue"
"bahut sahi hai madam... kutta bhale hi mujhe kaat khaye, lekin main ussko kuch na karun... paalte hi kyun ho kutta agar sambhaala nahin jaata to..."
"kya kutta kutta laga rakha hai... iska naam pingu hai..."
"arrey pingu ho ya osama ho... hai to yeh kutta hi... sambhal lo issko.. fi meri taraf aaya to laat maar ke isska muh tod dunga.. "
"kaise bure insaan ho tum... aao pingu hum chalte hain" kehte hue uss ladki ne doosri taraf ka mod le liya aur chalti gayi. usska kutta abhi bhi reh reh kar vikas ki taraf dekh raha thha aur bhonk raha thha
"haan le jao isse. kahin mere haath se khoon ho gaya to iss baar shayad na bach ke bhaag paoon" vikas chillaya.
Kuch samay wahan baithne ke baad vikas utha aur apne ghar ki taraf chalne laga. raste mein chalte hue bhi ussne notice kiya ke jitne log kutta ghuma rahe thhe, un sab ke kutte vikas se darr bhi rahe thhe aur usse dekh kar bhonk bhi rahe thhe. Jaise jaise vikas apne ghar ki taraf badh raha thha, paseene se uski haalat aur kharaab ho rahi thhi. dheere dheere uski peeth mein bhi bahut dard hone lag gaya ab usse theek se chala bhi nahi jaa raha thha. usne 2 kadam aur liye aur chakkar khaa ke wahin road ke kinare par gir gaya.
Thodi der baad usse hosh aaya to usne dekha ke wo hospital mein pada hai aur ek doctor torch se uski aankhon mein jhaank raha hai
"abe door hatt, andha karega kya" usne doctor ko door dhakka diya jisse doctor ko gussa aa gaya
"main dekh raha hoon ke tumhaare saath kya problem hai..."
"mere saath koi problem nahi hai.. zyaada der yahan reh gaya to hogi problem."
"thodi der ruko. mujhe checkup karne do. tum behosh ho gaye thhe aur tumhein uthaa ke yahan laya gaya thha. checkup se to sab kuch normal lagta hai... par tum behosh kyun ho gaye thhe"
"arrey ho gaya hounga.. mujhe chinta nahin hai to tumhein koi chinta karne ki zarurat nahi hai.. ho jaata hai kabhi kabhi daru se. chal ab hatt door aur mujhe nikalne de." kehta hua usne khade hone ki koshish kari lekin doctor ne uska haath pakkad liya
"dekho main tumhein jaane dunga lekin ek baar checkup karwane mein harz hi kya hai.. yeh free hospital hai aur hum tumhaara achcha ilaaj akrenge."
"theek hai. tu itna kehta hai to main tayaar hoon. lekin koi ilaaj vilaaj nahi akrwana maine."
"chalo uss weighing machine pe khade ho jao" doctor ne weighing machine ki ore ishara karte hue kaha to vikas jhatt se uss par chad gaya.
"kya bakwaas hai... mera weight 130kg aa raha hai.. abhi pichle hafte to 75 thha. ek hafte mein 55kgk aise badh gaya... kya khataara machine hai tumhaari.. yeh bhi free mein mili thhi kya... main nahi karwata koi check up wagerah. kya maalum mujhe AIDS ki bimari de do.. jaa raha hoon main" kehta hua vikas gusse mein uss exam room se bahar nikla. abhi usne mushkil se 10 kadam hi liye honge ke fir uski peeth dukhne lagi aur wo chakkar khaa ke neeche gir gaya
jab vikas ki aankhein khuli to usne apne aap ko ek private ward ke bed mein paaya. Usko glucose ki drips chadh rahi thhi aur uske bistar ke paas 2 doctors aur ek nurse khade koi gambheer mudra mein baatein kar rahe thhe. uski aankhein khulti dekh sabka dhyaan usski ore gaya
"patient ko hosh aa gaya hai" nurse boli
"vikas knaam hai mera.. aur mujhe patient patient karke mat bulao... koi bimari nahin hai mujhe"
"yeh hum decide karenge Mr. Vikas. tumhaari bodi mein alcohol ki maatra bahut hai jisse tumhaara blood pressure aasmaan choo raha hai" ek doctor bola
"haan aur issi liye mujhe chakkar aa rhae hain aur main 2 baar behosh ho chuka hoon. hatao ab yeh sab kuch aur mujhe ghar jaane do"
"unfortunately problem wo nahin hai. tumhaara liver ekdum sahi kaam kar raha hai. problem tumhaare blood mein hai. kisi karan se tumhaara blood dheere dheere sukh raha hai..."
"kya bakwaas kar rahe ho doctor.. kisne di tumhein doctor ki degree... yeh impossible hai... tum log bekaar ho.. mujhe jaane do"
"dekhiye mr. vikas ya to ap humaare saath tests mein cooperate kariye nahin to humein majbooran tumhein behosh karna padega. pata nahin aur sedatives ka tumhaari body pe kya asar ho... heart attack bhi aa sakta hai... behtar yehi hoga ke tum chup chaap yahan pade raho..." doosre doctor ne thoda zor dete hue bola
"hadd karte ho aap.. ek aadmi ko apna ilaaj nahi karwana aur fir bhi tum zabardasti usske peeche pade hue ho... case kar dunga main tum sab par.. main bilkul theek hoon"
"nurse.. get the sedatives.. yeh aise nahin maanega... full body clampers bhi le kar aao taaki issko bed ke saath baandh diya jaaye" doosra doctor aur kathorta se bola...
"mujhe pata hai ke tum meri consent ke bina kuch nahin kar sakte. main jaa raha hoon" kehte hue vikas ne uthne ki koshish kari par uth na paya. tabhi -4 ward boys daudte hue aaye aur usko pakkad liya. nurse ne fatafat se injection diya aur vikas behosh ho gaya. thodi der mein usski neend khuli to usne dekha ke wo operation theater mein hain...
"patient ke heart ne kaam karna band kar diya hai.. jaldi se shock ka intezaam karo.." ek doctor bola. vikaas waapas se behosh ho gaya. iss baar vikas ki aankhein ek jhatke se khuli aur ussne apne aap ko operation theater mein hi paya. wo side mein khada thha aur doctors kisi body ke upar operation kar rahe thhe. ussne thoda paas jaa kar dekha to paaya ke jis body pe operation ho raha thha wo ussi ki thhi.... to kya wo marr gaya thha ?? par heart monitors pe to uski dhadkan aur pulse chal rahi thhi.. shayad yeh sab sapna hi hai...tabhi doctors ne usko palat kar ek taraf ki karwat mein kar diya. wahan ka mahaul dekh kar usske hosh udd gaye.
jo ladki kal usse chatt pe dikhi thhi, ab wo usski peeth se chipki hui thhi. usska thoda sa hissa vikas ki body mein ghus chuka thha. uss ladki ne apna chehra vikas ki taraf kiya aur fir apne lambe lambe safed daant ussko dikha ke daraane lagi. vikaas ki phatt gayi.. ussko samajh nahi aa raha thha ke wo kya kare..
"vikas himmat mat haaro.. tumhein usska muqabla karna padega.. ussko andar ghusne se roko.. main aa raha hoon" tabhi vikas ke kaano mein wo awaaz padi
"kaun hai be.. kaun bol raha hai... yeh kaisa sapna hai"
"main prem hoon vikas aur yeh sapna nahi hai.. tum maut ke bahut kareeb pahunch rahe ho aur ek buri aatma tumhaare shareer par kabza kar rahi hai. kuch bhi ho jaye, tum usse apne shareer mein ghusne mat dena.. main bas aa hi raha hoon"
"kya bakwaas hai.. tum prem nahi ho... yeh ek sapna hi hai.. mujhe itne ajeeb sapne kyun aate hain... saali yeh sharaab ka hi asar hai sab" vikas ne bola...
"vikas meri baat maano. aur lado uss se... main bas pahunch hi raha hoon"
ab vikas ko laga ke chalo sapna hi sahi, par koshish karne mein kya harz hai. wo apne "shareer" ke paas pahuncha aur ussne uss 'ladki' ko kamar se pakkad liya. uss ladki ne zor se cheekh maari aur apna ek haath vikas ke chehre par maara. vikas ka chehra jalne lag gaya. aisa laga maano kisi billi ne panja maar diya ho. jab fir bhi uski neend nahi tooti to usko sach mein darr lagne laga ke kahin yeh baat sach to nahi hai ke uska shareer kissi aur ke kabze mein jaa raha hai... usne fir se uss ladki ki chaati pakkad li aur usse zor zor se kheechne laga bahar. wo ladki cheekhti rahi aur chillaati rahi par vikas ne apni koshish jaari rakhi. kuch der mashakkat karne ke baad vikas ne dekha ke ladki ke paaon ke talwon ko chhodkar, uska saara shareer ab vikas ke shareer se alag ho gaya hai. usne poori koshish kari lekin uss woh ang alag nahi ho raha thha. woh ladki chillati rahi aur vikas ko nochti rahi . tabhi vikas ne dekha ke prem bhi aa gaya hai aur donon ne saath mil kar yeh kaam karna shuru kara... tabhi wo ladki ek baar aur zor se cheekhi...
"ohh shit... yeh madat maang rahi hai vikas.. humein jaldi se kuch karna padega.. nahin to tum issi duniya mein qaid reh jaoge"
"kuch karna padega bole to?? ab aur kya karna hai... naach ke issko daraoun kya main... "
"faaltu ki baat nahi... zarur iss aatma ka koi hissa hai jo tum se juda hua hai jiske karan yeh alag nahi ho rahi hai..."
"waah mere james bond... saale tu timepass kar raha hai yahan.. dikh nahi raha ke uske paaon ke talwe mere shareer se chipke hue hain..." vikaas ne haafte hue bola...
"mera matlab wo nahi hai.. zarur issne tumse judne ke liye kisi cheez ka sahara liya hai.. yaad karo vikas .. tumne iss aatma ko pehle kab dekha thha aur kya isski koi cheez thhi jo tumne li..."
"isski koi cheez... nahi..... issne mujhe kuch diya hi nahi thha... kal raat ko daru ke nashe mein mujhe laga thha ke maine isse pehli baar dekha hai... "
"haan to issne kya kiya thha.. kaise judi thhi yeh tumse..."
"pata nahin.. mujhe laga thha ke ek khoon ki boond mujhpar aa kar giri aur fir main behosh ho gaya thha...."
"kahan giri thhi wo boond.. wo khoon nahi hoga.. iss aatma ke wajood ka hissa hoga jo issne tumhaari kisi cheez se baandh liya hoga.. jaldi yaad karo.. samay bahut kam hai" waapas uss aatma ki chitkaar sun kar prem bola
"gardan pe gira thha meri.. shayad mere locket pe gira thha... "
"kahan hai wo locket...." prem ne poocha aur dekha to operation theater ke ek kone mein ek case mein wo locket rakha thha. "tumhein wo locket uthaana hoga vikas aur usko saaf karna hoga.." aapsi baaton mein wo log itna busy ho gaye thhe ke unhone notice hi nahi kiya thha ke vikas ki dhadkanein ruk chuki thhi aur doctors ne fir se usse seedha lita diya thha.
"kaise.. kaise llon main wo locket..." vikas ne doctors ko operation band karte hue dekha to bola...
"tumhein apne shareer main waapas ghusna hoga. socho mat. jis tarah se bistar par let te ho, waise hi apni body mein waapas ghuso. deri mat karo.. agar wo madat aa gayi to problem ho jayegi. " prem ne kaha to vikas ne uss ladki ko chhod diya aur apne shareer mein let gaya. par abhi bhi jab wo haath pair hilaane ki koshish karta to uski aatma shareer se bahar aa jaati aur shareer mein kuch harkat na hoti. "emotions vikas.. emotions hain jo humein iss duniya mein har ek cheez ke saath jodte hain... kuch aise emotions laao jisse tumhaari jeene ki umeed jaage..."
Ab vikas ko samajh nahi aa raha tha ke wo kya kare.. sach to yeh thha ke usske jeene ka koi maksad thha hi nahin. jabse nidhi ne usko dhokha diya hai, uske jeene ki ichcha hi khatam ho gayi hai...nidhi.... haan nidhi... vikas nidhi ke baare mein sochne laga aur fir uska pyaar paane ke liye tadap uththa... usska rom rom nidhi ke sparsh ko tarasne laga... agar ek baar nidhi ussko waapas mil jaati to fir vikas usse kabhi na khota...
"vikas uthoo..... vo log paas hi hain... locket pakdo.." prem ki awaaz aayi to vikas ne aankhein kholi. iss baar uske haath pair achchi tarah se hil rahe thhe. usne khada hone ki koshish kari lekin dhamm se neeche gira. rengta hua wo uss locket ke paas pahuncha.
"ohh my god.. he is alive.. doctor.. plz rush immediately" nurse intercom pe chillayi aur vikas ko pakadne ke liye daudi. vikas reng kar uss locket waali table tak pahunch hi raha thha ke nurse ne usse pakkad liya.
"abe chhod mujhe" vikas thoda hila lekin usske jisam mein kuch jaan nahi thhi. nurse usse uthaane lagi. jaise hi wo khada hua ussne nurse ko ek dhakka diya jissse wo thodi door ja giri. tabhi ussne dekha ke sab doctors bhaage bhaage andar aa rahe hain. usne ek jhappatta maar ke wo locket uthaya,,, "ab kya karun isska..."
"khoon ke daag saaf karna hai iska... dekh kahin kuch mile to" itna hi suna thha vikas ne. doctors ne usko achchi tarah se pakkad liya thha aur usko bed ki taraf le jaa rahe thhe. usko ek injection bhi de diya thha. idhar udhar dekhne par vikas ne paaya ke paas mein hi ek basin mein disinfectant rakha hua hai. usski aankhein bojh se band ho rahi thhi .. ussko pata thha ke agar abhi usne aankhein moond li to shayad kabhi nahi jee payega... usne ek aakhri dum lagaya aur uss locket ko uss besin ki taraf uchal diya aur khud adhmara ho kar operation table par let gaya....
Jab Vikas ki aankhein khuli to usko bahut halka halka meshoos ho raha thha. chaaron taraf bahut tez roshini thhi aur kuch dikhayi nahi de raha thha. uske pairon ke neeche bhi sirf roshni hi thhi. aisa lag raha thha maano wo baadalon mein ghira hua ho.
"marr gaya kya main ?" wo zor se chillayya
"nahin... abhi tak to nahin mare ho tum. congrats. do baar mar ke jeevit hone ke liye" usko prem ki awaaz aayi
"Prem.. tu hai kya... dikhta kyun nahi hai.... saamne aa mere..."
"tumhaari aankhein abhi band hai vikas. abhi tumhein kuch nahi dikhega jab tak tum marr nahi jaate ya uth nahi jaate"
"yeh ab kahan fas gaya hoon main... saale tu jab bhi aata hai, mere liye koi na koi maut ka paigaam hi laata hai"
"yeh maine nahi kiya vikas. yeh to tumhaari badkismati thhi..."
"haan haan.. main hi badkismat hoon... aaram se jee raha thha.. tune aa kar saari zindagi ki maa behen kar di.. ab kya karne aaya hai..."
"main na aata na vikas, to tum dekhte rehte aur tumhaare shareer mein vo pret aatma ghus jaati. tumhein mera shukarguzaar hona chahiye, aur tum mujhe hi gaaliyan nikal rahe ho"
"kyun na nikalun gaaliyan... tune meri zindagi ko kya se kya kar diya hai..."
"jo kiya maine nahi kiya... mujhe kya pata thha ke neha kya plan bana rahi thhi.. main tumhaari soch pad sakta thha, usski nahi... khair choddo in baaton ko..."
"haan haan.. chhod do... tum to nikal loge kisi aur ke saath.. zindagi to meri kharab hui na prem... saara ghar baar chhod ke to main aa gaya hoon na iss ajnabi desh mein...."
"tu bol to aise raha hai jaise bharat ki poori abaadi teri dost thhi.. kis ko chhod kar aaya hai wahan?? uss watchman ke siwa tujhe miss hi kaun karega?? wo bhi dua hi karega ke tum kabhi waapas na aao taaki fir tumhein nashe ki haalat mein usse tumhaari flat tak na chhodna pade... baat karta hai..."
"main jaisa thha, tere aane se pehle khush thha..."
"purani baatein chhod ab. abhi jo ho raha hai wo soch..."
"nikal gayi kya wo chudail mere andar se?"
"haan.. tera fenka locket seedha nishane par laga aur uska daag gir gaya..."
"mujhe to pehle hi pata thha ke main apna talent waste kar raha hoon.. mujhe to nishanebaazi mein india ko represent karna thha..."
"tu fir faltu ki baat karne laga... "
"chal tu kaam ki baat kar.. kya thha jo yeh sab thha..."
"yaar yeh ek sadiyon se chali aa rahi kahani hai. jaisa maine tumhein bataya thha, dharti par bahut hi saare logon ki aatmayein bhatak rahi hain... har koi mere jitna fortunate nahi hota jo ke aise bande ko khoj sake jo unko dekh sake. kayi aatmayein yahan 2-3 hazaar saalon se bhatak rahi hain. ab aatmaon ka koi shareer to hota nahi, to samay ke saath saath unka wajood thhoda thhoda ghista rehta hai. itne saalon se yahan sadne ke karan kuch aatmayein hoti hain jinke andar ki saari achchai ghis jaati hai aur wo buri aatmayein ban jaati hain. wo badle ke liye jis insaan par haath pade, usko dukh pahunchaane ki koshish karti hain. mujhe lagta hai kisi janam mein yeh aatma ussi jagah par rahi hogi jahan tum rehte ho. issi liye isne tumhaare andar ghusne ki koshish kari"
"par main hi kyun ?? aur yeh aatmayein waapas iss duniya mein kyun aana chahti hain ?"
" vikas log samajhte hain ke mar ke khel khatam ho jaata hai, lekin aisa hai nahi. marne ke baad ki zindagi iss dharti ki zindagi se zyaada mushkil hoti hai. khaaskar ke hum jaison ke liye. pal pal marne ka dukh aur kuch na karne ki frustration jaise humein khaaye jaati hai. bholl jaate hain hum log ke zinda rehna kaisa lagta hai. yehi karan hai ke kuch buri aatmayein zabardasti kisi ke shareer mein ghusne ki koshish karti hain. bahut saari aatmayein safal ho jati hain par kuch ek asafal bhi hoti hain. ab uss aatma ki haalat aisi ho jayegi ke wo 15-20 saal tak hil bhi nahi payegi. bas hawa ke saath ek jagah se doosri jagah uddti rahegi"
"lekin main hi kyun... maine kya in logon ki bakri churayi thhi jo yeh aatma mere peeche padd gayi.."
"hum jaisi aatmayein sirf do hi roopon mein ek shareer mein ghus sakti hain. ek wo hai jaise iss aatma ne koshish kari - zabardasti kisi toote hue aadmi ke saath apna wajood jod lena aur fir dheere dheere uska khoon choos ke uske andar sama jaana. doosra tareeka hai ke kisi aadmi ki marzi se uske andar ghus jaana"
"kaun aisa aadmi hai jo inko apne andar ghusne dega?"
"hote hain kuch jo jaane anjaane mein yeh kadam bhi utha lete hain..."
"to kya koi bhi aatma mere andar ghus sakti hai?"
"ab mushkil hai kisi ka zabardasti ghusna.. iss aatma ne tumhaare shareer par ek nishaan chhod diya hai jisse baaki aatmaaon ko pata chal jayega ke isska hashra kya hua thha. itne saal moorchit haalat mein pade rehne ke darr se, koi tumhaare andar ghusne ki koshish nahi karega"
"tumhein itna sab kuch kaise maloom hai prem..."
"jab main gusse mein tumhaare paas se chala gaya thha to mujhe apne jaise aatmaaon ki ek basti mili. wahan itne din rehne ke baad mujhe yeh pata chala hai..."
"ek hafte mein tumne itna sab pata kar liya?"
"yeh tumhaare liye ek hafta hoga vikas. hum jaison ke liye yeh 7 saal ke barabar hai. waise bhi main "nayi" aatma hoon to mujhmein yeh sab samajhne ki capacity kuch zyaada hai..."
"hmm.. theek hai... par ek baat batao.. tum meri madat karne kyun aaye... tum to mujhe chhod ke chale gaye thhe...."
"maine apni galti realise kar li hai vikas. aur ab jab meri mukti ka koi saadhan nahi dikhta to mujhe lagta hai ke main tumhaare saath hi rahun. kam se kam koi to hoga jissko main apna keh sakunga ya jisko kuch sudhar sakunga. main tumhein dhoondh raha thha lekin tum mil nahi paaye. tumhaari aatma ki tadap hi thhi jisne mujhe tumhaari taraf kheencha aur main jaldi se aa gaya..."
"to matlab hai ke tum mera peecha marte dam tak nahi chhodoge ? aise hi pareshan karte rahoge mujhe ??"
"tumhein pata hai prem ke main tumhaari kitni madat kar sakta hoon.. kam se kam tumhaari paison ki samasya to bhaag hi jayegi... main tumhein yakeen dilaata hoon ke iss baar tumhein kuch bhi karne ko nahi kahunga.. bas mujhe apne ghar mein rehne ki ijaazat de do...."
"ijaazat ?? pehle tum meri ijaazat ke baad ghusse thhe kya ?? pehle to kisi khet mein madmast saand ki tarah ghus gaye thhe aur meri zindagi ko tehes nehas kar daala... ab permission maang rahe ho?? bade ajeeb ho tum..."
"nahi vikas. main tumpar bojh nahi banna chahta... agar tum haan nahi kahoge to main sach much tumhein chhod kar chala jaunga. tadapta rahunga iss dharti par aur intezaar karta rahunga tumhaara mann badalne ka...."
"chal chal.. senti mat maar ab... main tumhein IJAAZAT deta hoon" vikas ne khilkhilaate hue kaha
"to kya main sach much tumhaare ghar mein reh sakta hoon?"
"haan haan .. bilkul reh sakte ho..."
"thank you vikas.. tumhein pata nahi hai ke tumne meri kitni badi pareshani hall kar di... chalo abhi main chalta hoon... thoda kaam karna hai mujhe" prem ne kaha aur uski awaaz aani band ho gayi... vikaas bhi thodi der idhar udhar bhatakta raha. fir usne dekha ke achanak se roshni ke wo baadal dhundhle hote jaa rahe hain... usne socha ke shayad usse hosh aa gaya hai aur ab wo apne shareer mein waapas aa jayega... usska sochna poori tarah se galat nahi thha. ussko hosh aa rhaa thha. usske aas paas ka scene badalne laga. ab vikas ek hospital mein thha. apne ward mein. par wo fir se ek kone mein khada thha. ussko apna shareer wahan machinon se laga dikh raha thha.tabhi usne dekha ke usske shareer men harkat hui aur uske shareer pe lagi aankhein khul gayi.. vikas ko samajh nahi aa raha thha ke yeh kya ho raha hai aur wo apne shareer mein kyun nahi hai.. tabhi usne dekha ke usska shareer chehre par halki muskaan ke saath uski taraf dekhne laga aur uske kaano mein prem ki awaaz goonji
"thank you vikas. mujhe apne ghar mein rehne ki ijaazat dene ke liye thank you..."
"abe o. 10 ghante se laga hua hai iss karamphooter mein, batayega ke kuch ho bhi raha hai ya nahin" prem ne yeh bola to achanak se hi vikas ko realise hua ke wo kitni der se wahan baitha hai
"chal ho gaya kaam. tayyar ho jaa. paise nikalne jaana hai"
"achcha main naye kapde pehen leta hoon. naha dho leta hoon. arrey ek minute.. mujhe to marre kaafi time ho gaya hai aur main ek aatma hoon.. yeh sab nahi kar sakta. dimag kharab hai kya tera? abhi jayega? subah hi to ho ke aaye hain"
"main naha ke aata hoon. abhi dimag ka dahi mat kar. jo kehta hoon wo sun bas. tere photu ki jagah mera photu lag gaya hai. tere sign ki jagah mera sign lag gaya hai. bahut strong network thha lekin aakhir maine hack kar liya. ab bas humein jaana hai aur paisa nikaalna hai. 8 baj chuke hain to shift bhi change ho chuki hogi. bas yeh tanta abhi khatam karte hain. bahut ho gaya. ab aur nahi jhela jaata. bas tu soch le ke andar jaa kar kya karna hai, baaki main sambhal lunga" vikas ne muh dhote hue sab kuch prem ko bata diya
"arrey issi baat ka to darr hai. unka kaam hai paisa chupaana. mujhe lagta nahin yeh itna aasaan hoga. lekin chal, ab chal hi lete hain. wait karne ka mujhe bhi kuch faayda lag nahi raha" prem ne bhi seedhe shabdon mein vikas ko bol diya
vikas jaldi se fresh hua aur wo dono waapas nikal liye bank ki ore. musuem ki basement mein pahunche to dekha ke bheed bahut hai. to wo dono ek kone mein baith gaye aur apni baari ka intezaar karne lage. jaise jaise samay beet raha tha, waise waise vikas ki aur phatte jaa rahi thi. bahar se to usko yeh sab kuch bahut aasaan lag raha tha lekin ab usko yeh sab ek bad idea lagne laga tha. tabhi receptionist ne unki taraf ishaara kar ke unhein bulaya.
"haan ji sir. how can i help you"
"mujhe apne account se kuch paise nikalne hai"
"sir aapka account number batayenge"
v:- "account number bol"
p:- "yaad nahi hai mujhe."
v:- "abey fir paise kaise niklenge"
p:- "naam bata na re"
v:- "kiska naam"
p:- "mahatma gandhi ka bata de. mera naam hi batayega na jab mere naam se account hai to"
v:- "mujhe account number yaad nahi hai. Prem naam hai mera"
p:- "prem shekhawat"
v:- "prem shekhawat. shekhar shekhawat ka beta hoon"
receptionist - "ok sir ek minute rukiye. main manager ko bulaata hoon"
ab vikas ki phat ke 4... manager ne kuch ulta seedha pooch liya ya pehchaan liya to pata nahin kya hoga. usko paseena aane laga
p:- abey maatha poch. jisko shak nahi hai usko bhi yakeen ho jayega ke chori karne aaya hai.
vikas ne maatha pocha aur manager ka intezaar karne laga. tabhi usko saamne se ek gussail sa aadmi aata dikhayi diya. usko lag gaya ke wo hi manager hoga.
p:- kismat achchi hai.. iss manager ne kabhi mujhe dekha nahi hai
m:- sir good evening. i m here to help you. aap mere cabin mein aa jaiye. (kehta hua wo un dono ko apne cabin mein le gaya). sir mujhe kuch verification karna padega. aap baith jaiye. kuch peeyenge?
v:- no thank you. thoda jaldi karenge aap please.
m:- sir standard procedure hai. thoda time to lagega. aapka paisa surakshit bhi to rakhna hota hai na. date of birth ?
v:- meri
p:- pagala gaya hai kya... tere kutte ki poochega kya wo? 14th June 1984
v:- 14th June 1984 hai sir
m:- any identification marks on your body?
p:- mole on left testicle
v:- kyya !!!
p:- bol na be
v:- ji left tatte pe ek till hai
m:- any idea aapne apna account last kab access kiya tha?
p:- papa ne hi kiya hoga
v:- sir maine to kabhi nahi access kiya. ho sakta hai papa ne hi kiya ho. joint account hai na.
m:- aaj nahi aaye papa?
p:- gyaan de. bol de kuch. taal iss baat ko
v:- ji wo papa se jhagda ho gaya hai. wo to meri shakal bhi nahin dekhte. unko to mujhe beta kehne mein bhi sharam aati hai. lekin hum yeh baatein kyun kar rahe hain?
m:- hmm theek hai. tumhaari gharelu maamlon mein mujhe interest nahi hai. bas verification kar raha tha. chalo ab. you can operate you vault. jagah to yaad hogi na
p:- haan. salaakehin khulwa do
v:- offcourse yaad hai. thanks for everything. bas wo gate khulwa dena.
m:- yeah offcourse.
darr ke maare vikas ka bura haal tha. paseena aise choot raha tha jaise maano jharna beh raha ho. ac mein bhi usko garmi lag rahi thhi. kisi tarah se wo prem ke peeche peeche chala aur gate tak pahunch gaya. salaakhein khuli aur wo andar ho gaya.
andar dono taraf dher saare vaults thhe. har vault par keypad laga hua.
"seedha chalte jao. left corner waala apna hai" prem ne bola to vikas jaldi jaldi chalne laga. jab wo wahan pahuncha to prem ne usko password bataya "password hai 4nicat3".
"password yeh nahi hai, maine change kiya tha" kehte hue vikas ne 8055d1k3 daal diya.
"tumne password bossdike rakha.. aur kuch nahi mila tumhein?"
"he he he. kahin to dikhaana hota hai na ke hum sab ke baadshah hain" kehte hue vikaas ne kaanpte haathon se vault khola. usko darr tha ke kahin alarm na baj pade. lekin vault khul gaya aur uske andar ek bada sa suitcase tha
"ismein saare paise hai. poore honge." prem ne kaha to vikas ne jhat se suitcase nikal diya aur usko kholne laga "abe kya kar raha hai? ginega kya yahan baith ke?"
"arrey dekhne to se itne paise lagte kaise hain" kehte hue vikas ne suitcase khola. usko pata nahi kyun lag raha tha ke paise honge nahin, lekin wo bag noton se thasathas bhara hua tha."chalo ab chalte hain" poore din mein vikas ke muh par pehli baar muskaan aayi thi.
ab wo bag lekar saalakhon ke paar hue to vikas ne prem se bola, "yaar mujhe andaaza nahin tha ke inti aaram se kaam ban jayega. i rock"
"kalmuhe, kaali zabaan, gadhe... saamne manager ke saath dekh kaun khada hai"
"kaun hai wo??"
"mera baap. shekhar shekhawat. beta lag gayi aaj to. ho gaya saara kaam tamaam. our bluff has been caught"
v:- ohh shit.. ab kya karein
p:- pata nahin. jo karna hai tumko hi karna. wo mujhe nahi dekh sakte.. remember
v:- abe main kya karun (vikas ka haal ekdum bura tha). aise hi chalte rehte hain. shayad manager dekhega nahi humein
p:- sahi hai. mundi niche kar aur chalta reh (aur wo bank ke bahar pahunch gaye - aisa update hota agar kal deta.. lekin ab itna intezaar kiya hai to kuch to mazaa aana chahiye na )
ab wo dono ne socha hi tha ke manager ne unne dekh liya.
m:- prem sir. yahan aaiye ek baar.
shekhar - mere bete ka naam bhi prem tha
m:- tha kya. wohi hain. dekh lijiye. 100% wohi hain (kehte hue usne apna haath vikas ki taraf badha diya jo bahut karib aa chuka tha)
s:- yeh mera beta nahin hai
v:- (ab vikas bhi soch chuka tha ke aaj ya to aar ya paar. uske dimag mein ek hi idea tha ke kisi tarah se bank se bahar finkwa diya jaye taaki bas jaan bach jaye) to maine kab kaha ke aap mere papa ho (wo bhi garja)
s:- kaun hai yeh manager. kyun milwa rahe ho tum mujhe isse
m:- sir aapka beta hi to hai
s:- mera beta marr chuka hai
v:- haan aur aap bhi mere liye ussi din mar gaye thhe
s:- arrey sach mein yeh mera beta nahi hai manager
v:- dekha manager. maine kaha tha na.. saare rishte khatam kar chuke hain
s:- abe kaun se rishte.. hai kaun tu??
v:- jo bhi hoon. aapka beta nahin hoon
s:- manager door kar isse yahan se.. kyun dimag kharab kar raha hai mera. jo mera aur meri wife ka joint account hai, usse paise nikalne hai mujhe
v:- manager keh do inse ke yeh bhi mer eliye marr chuke hain.
m:- plz sahab. aap mujhe apni family problems mein mat ghusediye
s:- arey kaahe ki family?? yeh mera beta nahin hai. wo marr chuka hai
m:- sir maaf kar dijiye na. jo hua so hua. bhool jaiye
v:- inke maaf karne se kya hota hai? main inhe maaf nahi karunga. agar maine apni maa ko vachan na diya hota, to aaj hi inka....
s:- SECURITY... bahar phenko iss aadmi ko.. kyun mere muh lag raha hai pata nahi. MANAGER bolo security ko ke issko bahar phenke. (ab marta kya na karta. ek taraf wo aadmi jisne apne account se paisa nikaal liya tha aur shayad kabhi waapas na aaye, ( www.indiansexstories1.com ) doosri taraf uska loyal customer)
m:- security !! plz escort Mr. Prem out of here.
v:- chala jaunga main khud hi. aur haan yaad rakhna shekhar shekhawat, main mar jaunga lekin tujhe kabhi maaf nahi karunga.(kehta hua aur jhoot-moot ka natak karta hua vikas bahar chalne laga)
s:- kaise kaise log hain. aise hi gale pad raha hai. oye manager.. chal mera paisa nikalwa ab
p: arrey bach gaye.. aaj to kisi tarah se jaan bach gayi
v:- meri jaan bachi. teri to tu gava baitha hai
p:- kuch bhi.. aaj lagta tha ke fas gaye.. main to soch raha tha ke tu chakki peeste hue kaisa dikhega jail mein
v:- saale pehle to bada bol raha tha... ke tujhe bacha lunga, ab kyun phatt gayi teri
p:- arre bolne mein kya jaata hai... karne mein problem hai na. chalo jo kuch bhi hua. kam se kam paise to mil gaye
v:- paise to mil gaye.... phatt ke 8 ho gayi thhi meri andar samjha... mujhe bas apne koolhon pe police waalon ke dande mehsoons ho rahe thhe aur jail ki kalkothri ki smell aaa rahi thhi. wo to bhala ho ke bach gaye kisi tarah.. warna...
p:- haan haan. theek hai. ab ho gaya na khatam. ab ek baat bata... tu nidhi ko batayega kab?
v:- kya batana hai?
p:- mere baare mein yaar. tujhe yeh to nahi lag raha na ke main hamesha ke liye tere saath reh ke hi khush hoon?
v:- abe tere baare mein sochta kaun hai? mujhe pata hai ke main tere saath khush nahi hoon. aur main bhi tumhaare se jaldi se jaldi chutkaara paaana chahta hoon.
p:- to kab bol rahe ho usko ?
v:- mauka milte hi bol dunga. mujhe iss baat ka darr hai ke kahin wo maani nahi, to mujh se baat karna band kar degi, fir usse samjhana impossible ho jayega
p:- to koshish kar ke to dekh. shayad maan hi jaaye. aaj bata dena. wo zarur poochegi ke kaise mila, fir bata dena.
v:- theek hai. dekhte hain.
ab wo ghar pahunch gaye. aur vikas ko laga ke chalo sabse pehle nidhi ke hi yahan chala jaye
"tu pagal hai? suar ki tarah bheega hua hai paseene mein. thoda naha le. fir jaiyo aaram se"
"baat to sahi hai. chalo pehle ghar hi chalte hain." dihar wo apne flat mein gaya aur udhar nidhi ke flat se rahul nikal kar gaya jisko wo dono dekh na sake. thodi der mein vikas ek dum tayyar hua, paison ka briefcase uthaya aur chal diya nidhi ke yahan. nidhi ke darwaaze ki ghanti bajayi. usne darwaaza khola to dekha ke nidhi ki aankhein nam hain. "ky aho gaya? phir se phone aaya kya unka?"
"nahin. andar aa jao. kuch batana hai" nidhi ne bola. uski aankhon mein moti se aasoo saaf chalak rahe thhe
"haan bolo... kya hua"
"rahul aaya tha"
"to kya mukke maar ke gaya kya?? ro kyun rahi ho?"
"he proposed"
ab vikas babu ka chehra dekhne layak thha. itni mehnat karke, daaka daalne ke baad wo daana chura ke laaya aur yahan to murgi kissi aur se katne jaa rahi thhi. "kya matlab he proposed"
"mere se shaadi ke liye poocha usne stupid"
"to tumne kya kaha"
"kya lagta hai tumhein"
vikas ki saas mein saas aayi "mana kar diya hoga"
"rahul ka promotion ho gaya hai. kal shaam ko wo america jaa raha hai. wo chahta hai ke main uske saath hi jaoon"
"bhaad mein jaane do saale ko. main hoon na yahan"
"maine haan kar di"
"kya... tum mazaak kar rahi ho.. RAHUL !!!"
"main kyun mazaak karungi vikas? kya kami hai rahul mein? achchi zindagi de sakta hai mujhe. pyaar bhi bahut karta hai. shayad main yahan se chali jaoon to paise bhi na dene pade mujhe"
p:- abe jaanti nahi hai underworld waalon ko yeh. pataal se dhoondh ke nikaalenge.. tab rahul koi madat nahi karne waala iski
"tum chali jaogi to main inka kya karunga?" vikas ne suitcase table pe rakh diya aur khol ke nidhi ko dikhaya...
"kahan se laye itna paisa tum?"
"wo bahar raddi waala aaya tha. saste mein bech raha tha. maine le liye... kya lagta hai tumhein kahan se laya main yeh paise nidhi?"
"tum bank gaye thhe..."
"haan. bank gaya tha. prem ke account mein daaka daala hai maine. aur yeh sab maine tumhaare liye kiya hai nidhi"
"thank you very much vikas. i cant thank you enough for this"
"mat jaao nidhi. ruk jao. mana kar do rahul ko"
"ruk ke kya karungi vikas? ek nayi zindagi mera intezaar kar rahi hai. koi pagal hi hoga jo isko mana karega. waise tumhein yeh paise mile kahan se?"
"mere liye ruk jao nidhi. main tumhein rahul se zyaada pyaar dunga"
"Vikas please. mujhe packing karni hai. is time please mujhe chhod do..."
"nidhi tum mujhe chhod ke jaa sakti ho, lekin socho, mujhse bhagogi kaise.. kismat ne humaari zindagiyan aapas mein aise hi nahi baandhi hain"
"vikas tum pagal ho gaye ho? bas kyunki maine tumhein hi hello kar di iska yeh matlab nahi hai ke tumhaari aur meri jodi upar se bankar aayi hai"
"nidhi... mujhe prem dikhta hai"
"what non sense vikas. tum pagal ho gaye ho kya. get out??"
"nidhi usne mujhe help kari aaj paisa nikalne mein. accident ke baad i dont why par wo mujhe dikhne laga. uski aatma yahin bhatak rahi hai. wo tumse kuch kehna chahta hai nidhi"
"vikas mujhe lagta hai ke tum bilkul paagal ho gaye ho. tum yahan se abhi nikal jao. mujhe tumhaare paise nahi chahiye. uthao inhein aur daffaa ho jao"
"nidhi main sach keh raha hoon. plz baat to suno meri."
"tumhein sharam aani chahiye vikas ek vidhwa se uske pati ke baare mein jhooth bolte hue. tumhein andaaza bhi nahin hai ke tumne aaj mujhe kitna dukh pahunchaaya hai. i really liked you vikas. Ho sakta hai ke aaj main tumhaare saath ruk jaati.. but you are reallly sick. bimar ho tum. ilaaj karwao kisi doctor se apna"
ab vikas nidhi ko yakin dilaane ke liye usse prem ke baare mein baatein batata chala gaya. prem bole jaa raha tha aur wo nidhi ko bataye jaa raha tha. wo prem ki bahut saari baatein usse batata chala gaya.. usse laga ke ab to nidhi ko yakeen hona chahiye
"vikas u really r a psycho.. kab se follow kar rahe ho mujhe?? kahan se mili tumhein yeh information?"
"mujhe prem ne bataya"
"prem prem prem.. marr chuka hai wo.. kaise bataya usne tumhein"
"wo mere saath rehta hai. uski aatma yahin hai"
"uff oh vikas. kyun torture kar rahe ho mujhe. tumhein lagta hai ke main tumhaari baat maan jaungi?"
"tum mujhse kuch aisi baat poocho jo tum dono ke siwa kisi ko nahin pata thhi"
"hmmm" ab nidhi bhi usse peecha chudaane ke liye kuch sochne lag gayi..."batao humne apne beton ka kya naam rakhne ka socha tha"
vikas ne palat kar prem ki taraf dekha. "Raj agar ladka, ranjini agar ladki"
Nidhi ghoor ghoor ke vikas ko dekh rahi thhi"kya prem abhi bhi yahin hai"
"haan" vikas dheere se bola
uske aage jo hua uske liye vikas katayi tayyaar nahi thha. nidhi khadi hui aur ek kheech ke tamaacha uske gaal pe maara. fir usne wo suitcase uthaya aur vikas ki taraf de maara. "tum kitna jhoot bologe vikas kitna. nahin chahiye mujhe tumhaare paise bhi. pata nahin kiska chura ke laye ho. hath jod kar tumse kehti hoon ke mere ghar se nikal jao. na to tumhaara prem sacha hai, na hi uske bataye gaye naam"
Vikas ne peeche mud ke dekha to prem sach mein gayab thha. ab nidhi bhi rone lagi thhi. vikas ko pata thha ke iss samay usska kuch kehna ya kuch samjhana bekaar hai. shayad wo nidhi se pyaar karke ke apna aakhri chance kho chuka tha. "yeh paise tumhaare prem ke hain. tumhaari amaanat hain. tum rakho. mujhe inka kuch nahi karna" kehkar wo kamre se bahar nikla aur apne flat mein chala gaya
vikas apne bed par let kar bas nidhi ke hi baare mein soch raha tha. wo jitna uske baare mein sochta jaa raha tha, utna hi wo usse apne se door hoti jaa rahi thi. bas kal raat tak ka time thha uske paas. uske baad shayad nidhi ko kabhi nahi dekh payega. ek ladki jisko wo itne saal tak chahta raha, jisko paane ka sapna pehle usne dekhne ki bhi nahi sochi thhi, aaj wo itni paas aakar usse door ho gayi thhi. Usko paane ke jo armaan usne piroye thhe, aaj un sab pe paani fir gaya tha. lekin iska dosh wo apne upar kaise le sakta hai? usne to bilkul sach bola tha. sab kuch sach. zindagi mein pehli baar shayad usne itni sachhai se koi baat kisi se kari thhi, lekin yeh saala prem .. time pe dhokha de gaya. jiss prem ke liye usne apni jaan jokhim mein daali, jis prem ki baatein usne din raat suni, jis prem ka wo eklauta aasra bana, aaj ussi ne usko ghodi bana diya.
"prem.. kahan ho tum.. main jaanta hoon yahin kahin chup ke baithe ho. niklo bahar. baat karo mujhse. kyun.. kyun kiya yeh sab mere saath tumne" ab vikas ka gussa charam seema pe thha .. wo apne aape se bahar tha. aankhein ekdum soorkh laal. jaise khoon utar aaya ho. lekin prem to kahin dhoondhne par bhi nahi milta usko. gusse mein wo flat se bahar nikal gaya aur chal pada apne purane adde ki taraf. jaise jaise wo bar ki taraf badh raha tha, wo jaanta thha ke wo ussi zindagi ko waapas apnane jaa raha hai jisko accident ke baad chhod diya tha. wo jaanta tha ke ek baar usne iss aadat ko waapas apna liya to uski zindagi tabah ho sakti hai. ho sakta hai abki baar usse bachane koi prem ya nidhi na aaye. lekin iss waqt uske mann mein itni khudas aur gussa tha ke wo anjaam ki parwah kiye bagair fir daaru ke nashe mein ghulne ko tayyaar ho gaya.
Raat ko kisi tarah se ladkhadate hue usne apne flat ka darwaaza khola, aur andar aa kar dhamm se gir gaya bistar par. neend uski aankhon se koso door thhi. dimaag tivra gati se chakkar kha raha tha. bistar par lete hue bhi usko aisa lag raha tha jaise kisi bawandar mein fasa hua hai. usko kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha tha ke kya chal raha hai. reh reh kar nidhi ki yaadein kaundhti thhi dimag mein. kabhi wo has rahi hoti thhi, kabhi ro rahi hoti thhi, kabhi bas yun hi usse dekh rahi hoti thhi to kabhi chaata mar rahi hoti thhi. Vikas ka dimag theek hone ki bajaye aur kharab hota jaa raha tha. usne decide kar liya ke abhi jayega aur saari baatein nidhi se clear kar lega.
wo bistar se uthne ki koshish karne laga par aisi haalat mein woh uth nahi paa raha tha. kisi tarah se girte padte usne apne room ki batti jalayi. saamne hi prem baitha tha. usko dekhkar aur gussa aaya vikas ko aur wo usko maarne ke liye uski taraf badha
"saale. ehsaan faramosh. yeh sila diya tune mujhe. kamine... kyun aaya hai ab yahan. bhaag ja yahan se. koi madat nahi karne waala teri main"
"haalat dekhi hai tune apni? kisi madat ki umeed bhi nahi hai mujhe tere se. "
"bata kyun diya itna bada dhokha tune mujhe... kyun sahi time pe mere saath nahi raha"
"tumhein sharam aani chahiye yeh bolte hue vikas. apni haalat ko to dekho. tumhein lagta hai ke kabhi nidhi ko khush rakh paate tum?"
"main usse bahut pyaar karta tha, karta hoon aur karta rahunga. tum kaun hote ho mujhe tokne waale. mujh se gidgidaate hue to tumhein main bahut achcha lag raha tha. ab kaam nahi bana to mujhe khari khoti sunaoge"
"abey chod tu in baaton ko. rahul tujhse har maamle mein achcha hai. wo nidhi ko bahut khush rakh sakta hai. main bahut khush hoon ke nidhi uske saath jaa rahi hai aur tumhaare saath nahi hai."
"haan haan manao khushiyan. dekhta hoon kitne din khush rehte ho. aakhir mein waapas to mere paas hi aaoge na. rahul ke through message thode bhijwa sakte ho"
"tumhein pata hai ke tum kitne ghatiya, selfish aur chotti soch waale insaan ho?? aisa aadmi mere roop mein ek baar nidhi ki zindagi mein aa chuka hai, aur main nahi chahta ke meri wajah se waapas uski zindagi mein aaye. kehte hain ke apne sabhi paapon ka prayshchit insaan ko yahin karna hota hai. main samajh lunga ke ek bhoot banke is dharti pe rehna hi meri behavior ka prayshit tha. aur main bahut khush rahunga yeh jaan ke ki tum uski zindagi barbaad nahi kar rahe meri wajah se"
"nikal jaa yahan se saale. ehsaan faramosh. kutte. shakkal bhi nahin dekhni mujhe teri. saale peeth pe waar kiya hai tune. sadta reh ab dharti par. dekhte hain kaun poochta hai tujhe" gusse mein vikas thoda aage badha to nashe mein ladkhada kar gir gaya aur so gaya.
vikas ko aise behosh pade dekh prem ko bhi bahut gussa aa raha tha. wo reh reh ke soch raha tha ke kyun bhagwaan ne uska paala aise ghatiya aadmi se baandha, jo doosron ki fikar to door, apna khayal bhi theek se nahi rakh paata hai. Upar se usko reh reh ke wo photu ki yaad aati thhi jo uss din vikas nidhi se chupa raha tha. prem ne dekh liya tha ke vikas aur nidhi photo mein ek saath hai aur usko maamla samajhne mein der nahi lagi thhi. wo jaan gaya tha ke vikas uska sahara le kar sirf nidhi ke karib aana chahta hai aur uski help karna ka koi intention nahi rakhta. Usne tabhi mann bana liya tha ke wo vikas jaise galeech aadmi ko nidhi se kabhi sambandh nahi rakhne dega. Aur isi liye aaj usne vikas ko jhoothe naam bata diye thhe. andar hi andar wo bahut khush tha ke vikas aur nidhi ki dosti toot gayi hai, lekin apni haalat pe usko aur bhi daya aa rahi thhi. lekin yeh soch ke ki jis bhagwaan ne usko vikas se milwaya hai, wo kisi aur se bhi milwa dega, prem wahan se chala gaya.
Vikas ki neend seedha jaa kar dopahar ko hi khuli. ghadi mein ek bajne ko tha aur usko zabardast hangover ho raha tha. wo jaa ke nahaya dhoya aur laga apna lunch banane. saath mein wo yeh bhi soche jaa raha tha ke ab wo aage kya kare. uska dil yeh maan-ne ko tayaar hi nahi tha ke nidhi se uska saath choot gaya hai. usne poori dopahar bas yeh sochne mein guzaar di ke kaise jaake nidhi se baat cheet waapas start kare lekin koi upay nahi nikla. shaam tak koi upay na nikalne se usne socha ke chalo aise hi jaa ke ek baar mil lete hain nidhi se, aur kuch nahi to kam se kam see off hi kar denge. aisa soch kar wo nidhi ke flat ki taraf chal pada.
Wahan pahuncha to usne dekha ke darwaaza thoda sa khula hua hai. usne 2 baar ghanti bajayi lekin koi aaya nahin. kuch soch kar wo ghar ke andar ghus gaya. andar ghar ki halat kharab thhi. saara samaan bikhra pada tha. vikas ko laga jaise chori hui hai ghar mein aur uska dil zor zor se dhadakne lag gaya. usne socha ke waapas jaa kar police ko khabar karega. jaise hi wo peeche muda ek ghusaa uske muh pe aa ke laga aur chaaro taraf andhera chaa gaya.
jab uski aankh khuli to usko sab dhundhla dhundhla dikhayi de raha tha... dheere dheere wo adjust hua to paya nidhi ke flat mein hi hai. usne apne haath uthaane chaahe to paya ke uske haath aur pair kursi se bandhe hain.
"koi hai" wo zor se chillaya "kya chal raha hai yahan? mujhe kholo"
:aa gaya hosh tujhko miyan.. kab se teri awaaz sunne ko kaan taras rahe thhe" ek lamba chauda aadmi uske paas aa kar bola
"kaun ho tum" vikas thoda darr raha tha
"abe kya karega jaan ke hamaari tareef?? teri chammak challo kahan hai?"
"kiss ki baat kar rahe ho?"
"jiske ghar mein tu hai shaane.. zyaada hoshiyar mat ban nahin to gaand mein goli maar dunga. ek mahine tak hag nahi payega.."
"kya chahte ho tum"
"tujhe to nahi chahta. bata de nidhi kahan gayi hai aur nikal le apni jaan hath mein le ke.. warna murde se pata nikalwaunga"
"mujhe sach mein nahi pata ke wo kahan hai"
"abe hoshiyaari chaatni band kar aur jaldi bata ke wo kahan hai warna yeh bandook dekhi hai, usko itna andar ghusa ke chalaunga ke internal beleeding se hi mar jayega"
"arrey band kar apni bakwaas. bahut ho gaya. agar mujhe pata hota ke wo yahan nahi hai to main kya jhaadu maarne aata iss samay yahan. bahut bak raha hai tu. hai kaun" jaan ka thikaana nahi tha, fir bhi uski akkad nahi gayi thhi
"teri darling ne paise chukaane hai humaare... 50 lakh.... aaj dene thhe usko, pata nahin kahan bhaag gayi hai" tabhi uss aadmi ka phone baj uthav"hello... haan shekhawat sahab... kya baat kar rahe ho... 50 laakh chori kar liye... koi photu wagerah hai kya launde ka.... haan nikalwa lo, main kal aake photu leta hoon. fir dekhta hoon ke kya kiya jaye uska" kehkar usne phone kaat diya. "munna .. o munna. kahan chupa hai be... suna tune.. kisi ne shekhar sahab ke ladke ke account se 50 lakh rs chura liye hain. saala aajkal choron ke ghar bhi chori hone lagi hain... kal jaa ke unse wo launde ka photu le lena... bank ke camere se nikalwaane gaye hain wo... dekhta hoon kiski itni himmat aa gayi ke ismail bhai ke area mein chori karne laga" usne apne saathi se bola
Vikaas ko o ab jaise kaato to khoon nahi. na kewal nidhi paise le kar laapata ho gayi thhi, balki usski chori bhi pakdi gayi thi. kya hoga uska ab... kaise bachayega apni zindagi in khooniyon se.. kya yehi uski zindagi ka ant hai... ya uski kismat mein kuch aur likha hai...
"tu batayega ke ladki kahan hai ya daalu gaand mein pistol"
"arrey nere baap.. nahi pata mujhe kahan hai wo.. kyun mere peeche pade ho"
"lagta hai tu aise nahin batayega. o munna.. la to tera tamancha... iska main aaj hi game over kar daalta hoon"
"ruko ruko. mujhe pata nahin hai ke wo kahan hai.. par kal wo kisi ke paas jaane ke liye keh rahi thhi"
"chal fir tote ki tarah shuru ho ja aur bakk daal sab kuch"
"kholo pehle mujhe. haath dard kar rahe hain mere"
"abe shaane.. bandook mere paas hai, gunda main hoon, sawaal main kar raha hoon, jaan teri jaane waali hai.. fir tu mujhe kaise order de raha hai?? abe koi isse samjhao ke yahan mera hukm chalega.. aur mera hukm yeh hai ke tu uss ladki ka pata bol daal"
"dekho mujhe maar ke tumhein kuch nahi milega. lekin agar tumne mujhe khol diya to main shayad tumhaari koi madat kar paoo"
"abe tu kya logic de ke meri gaand maar raha hai be... jaldi bata warna aaj tu gaya" kehte hue ussne apni revolver nikaal ke vikas ki kanpatti pe rakh di
"kal wo kuch keh rahi thhi ke yeh sheher chhod kar chali jayegi Rahul ke saath"
"kaun rahul be... "
"uska koi boy friend hai..."
"aaila mind blowing... pati ki chitta ki raakh thandi hote hi rangraliya start. yeh ladki to kamaal ki lagti hai yaar. kahan milega rahul?"
"main bas usse ek-do baar mila hoon. mujhe pata nahi ke wo kahan rehta hai"
"poora naam bataa... hum nikalwa lenge address"
"nahi malum"
"abe fir tereku maaloon kya hai be?? laundiya ke itne paas rehkar bhi tune kisi anjaan ko kaise le jaane diya re wo mast maal?? tere jaise mard se to saala napunsak hona hi theek hai. bol kar doon tujhe napunsak ya pata batayega" kehte hue wo zor zor se hasne laga.
Tabhi darwaaze ki ghanti baji to ismail thoda chonk gaya.."o munna dekh to kaun hai aur usse pyar ke saath yahan par le aa"
"abhi laya bhaai"
"lagta hai teri laundiya aa gayi"
lekin wahan nidhi nahi rahul khada tha. vikas ki haalat dekh kar uske bhi chehre ka rang udd gaya tha. vikas ne usko dekha aur kuch ishaara kiya
"kaun hai be tu" ismail ne pooche
"yeh vikas hai. nidhi ka dost." bina kuch soche samjhe vikas ne jhat se bol diya
"achcha. to tu kaun hai"
"main bhi vikas hoon"
"abe kaisa vikas ho raha hai is desh mein... do laundon ke saat hote hue laundiya kisi rahul ke saath bhaag gayi. o vikas number 2... kahan hai be teri dost?" Rahul ko samajhte der na lgi ke yeh nidhi ko dhoondh rahe hain aur inko rahul ke baare mein kuch pata hai.
"ji pata nahin. main to bas aise hi milne aaya tha"
"ha ha ha... chal tu bhi idhar aa ke baith jaa. jab tak laundiya nahi milti, tum dono yahin sadoge. saala mera 50 lakh le kar bhaagi hai.. usko to main pataal se bhi dhoondh nikalunga"
"arrey maine kya kiya hai.. main to milne aaya tha bus, ab wo hai nahin to main chalta hoon. main message chhod deta hoon uske liye. wo aayegi to mujhe phone kar degi.. agar aap apna number mujhe de do to main fir aapko bata dunga... aap bhi kyun yahan sadd rahe hain" Rahul darr se thartharaate hue bola
" abe o mutter ke aakhri daane... mujhe kya doodh peeta bachcha samjha hai tune? party chal rahi hain yahan? baith yahan warna gaand mein itni goliyan daag dunga ke jab chalega to aisa lagega ke ghunghroon baj rahe hain. baith saale"
ab marta kya na karta, rahul bhi baith gaya vikas ke saath waali kursi pe. abhi simail aur kuch pooch pata ke tabhi darwaaze pe ek aur ghanti baji.
"abe yeh ghar hai ke dharamshala hai re. koi na koi aata hi rehta hai. munna.. o munna... le kar aa re pyaar se jo bhi aaya hai usko"
jab munna ki awaaz nahi aayi to ismail bhai khade hue aur peeche mud ke dekha.
"hands up ismail. kab tak bachte rahoge police se. mujhe pata tha ke ek na ek din pakka phasoge" police inspector ne bola. "tum kya samajhte ho ke guard ko behosh karke andar ghus jaoge aur kisi ko pata nahi chalega. hawaldaar, laga do inhein hathkadi aur le chalo jeep mein. issko to iss baar itni lambi sazaa dilwaunga ke yaad rakhega"
"ha ha ha inspector.. naye aaye ho kya... 2 din se zyada nahi rakh paoge mujhe. aur ek baar main nikal gaya, fir tujhe mujhse kaun bachayega ismail haste hue bola. usko pata tha ke uski giraftaari ki khabar milte hi koi na koi minister phone karke usse bahar nikalwa hi dega. "aur sun lo tum dono. 2 din mein jab main bahar aaunga, to chup chap mujhe yahan ladki aur paise mil jaane chahiye. nahin to tum dono ki khair nahin" usne hawaldaar ke saath jaate hue bola
Rahul aur vikas ki jaan mein jaan aayi. dono ki aisi haalat thhi jaise maut ka farishta unhein choom ke nikal gaya ho. police ke kuch sawaalon ka jawaab de kar, dono vikas ke flat mein aa gaye aur baith gaye.
"yeh sab kya tha vikas"
"nidhi ke pati ne in logon se kuch paise liye thhe"
"haan jaanta hoon"
"jaante ho?"
"haan. nidhi ne mujhe bataya tha. maine apni saari property girvi rakh ke 50 lakh ka intezaam kiya tha aur kal raat usse diye thhe wo saare paise"
"ohh shit !!"
"kya hua..."
"rahul tum aaj foreign jaane waale thhe na nidhi ko le kar"
"aaj nahi kal raat ko jaana hai. isi silsile mein main usse milne aaya tha. lekin tumhein kya hua"
"rahul hum dono ka kat gaya hai..."
"matlab??"
"matlab nidhi tumse 50 lakh le kar aur mujhe se 50 lakh le kar faraar ho gayi hai"
"kya bakte ho!!!"
"sahi bol raha hoon. kal main prem ke bank gaya tha.. wahan pe prem ke alias mein, maine uske account se paise nikale aur raat ko aa ke nidhi ko de diye thhe"
"chori kari tumne?"
"haan. aur sabse badi baat yeh hai ke meri chori pakdi bhi gayi hai. prem ke baap ne issi gunde ko phone kiya tha chori batane ke liye. agar yeh hawalaat se bahar aa gaya, to meri khair nahi hai"
"ohh my gawd.... yeh kaise ho gaya... mujhe yakeen nahi aa raha ke nidhi mere saath aisa karegi...meri saari property..."
"tumhaare saath aisa karegi.... Rahul tumhaare paas abhi bhi job hai aur tum foreign jaa ke bach jaoge. reh jaunga main. ek mujrim. koi bhi kabhi bhi yahan mujhe tapka sakta hai aur kisi ko khabar bhi nahi hogi. usne mere saath zyaada bada khel khela hai" dono kuch der baith kar, aankhein jhuka kar sochte rahe. aage kya karna hai dono mein se kisi ke samajh mein nahi aa raha tha. pyaar mein andhe ho kar dono ne aisa kaam kar diya tha jisse unki aage ki zindagi par ek prashan chinh lag gaya tha. "rahul meri madat karo plz"
"main kaise madat kar sakta hoon vikas..."
"mujhe apne saath le chalo america. kuch din ke liye apne paas rakh lo, main koi na koi job dhoondh kar apna guzaara kar lunga. tumhaare paas nidhi ke naam ki ticket to hogi hi, bhi naam hi change karna hai tumhein"
"aur visa... wahan ka visa kaise lagega tumhaara??"
"meri company ne pehleh hi visa lagwa diya hai. asal mein main shayad 2-3 mahine mein wahan jaane hi waala tha kaam ke silsile mein, lekin ab mere paas itne din nahi hain. dekho main tumhaare aage daya ki bheekh maangta hoon. agar mere liye nahin to kam se kam maine tumhaara naam chupa ke tumhaari jaan bachane ki koshish kari thhi ismail ke aage, uske khaatir meri madat kar do"
"pata nahi vikas... i..i... chalo theek hai.. main sab dekhta hoon. kal tayyaar rehna. we will leave tomorrow"
"thank you rahul. sach mein thank you." vikas aur rahul ek baar gale mile aur fir rahul chala gaya mayoos ho kar apne ghar. usse abhi bhi yakeen nahi aa raha tha ke jisko usne apna dil diya, ussi ne uske saath vishwasghaat kiya. yeh achcha thha ke wo yeh desh se bahar jaa raha tha kal. nahin to shayad is gham mein yahan pagal hi ho jaata.
"ma'am would you like to have something"
"1 glass of champagne please. i m feeling pretty tired"
"sure ma'am. i will get that for you"
champagne peete peete nidhi sochne lagi ke kitni aasani se usne do logon ko murkh bana diya. vikas to bechara aise hi phas gaya.uske nazar to sirf rahul pe hi thhi. jis din usne vikas ko dekha tha, wo ussi din usse pehchaan gayi thhi. usse yaad aa gaya tha ke vikas uske college mein uske saath padhta tha aur poora waqt usko ghoorta tha. dheere dheere usko realise ho gaya tha ke vikas ko bhi ullu banana bahut aasan hai. aur aaj ussi ullu ki badolat, wo 50 lakh ki bajaye, ek crore le kar america jaa rahi thhi hamesha hamesha ke liye. ek naya desh, ek nayi pehchaan... wo apni zindagi waapas shuru karegi.. jin shoukon ko wo prem ki wajah se poora nahi kar payi, wo sab poora karegi. jahan tak rahul aur vikas ka sawaal thha, usse yakeen tha ke wo dono ab kabhi usse nahin milenge.
Vikas ek bahut hi mushkil bachpan se nikalna waala aadmi hai. apne maa baap ke dehant ke baad usko apne chacha chachi se kabhi wo pyar nahi mila jo usko lagta thha ke wo deserve karta hai. baalig hote hi usko pata chala ke uske maa baap uske liye bahut paise chhod gaye thhe, jinko le kar wo sheher aa gaya. College ke dauran usko nidhi se ek tarfa pyaar hua jiska izhaar karna to door, wo nidhi se kabhi baat bhi nahi kar paya. Samay ke saath usko daaru ki latt lag gayi aur wo ek nihayti selfish aadmi ban gaya. ek jaan leva accident ke baad uski mulakat prem se hui jo ki ek aatma thhi aur apni mukti ke liye bhatak rahi thhi. Kisi tarah se prem ne usko apni madat ke liye mana liya. kaam bas itna thha ke vikas ko prem ki biwi ko yakeen dilana thha ke Prem utna bura nahi thha jitna wo samajhti thhi. kaam aasaan hoga soch ke vikas ne haan kar di. prem ki biwi uski college ki dilbara nidhi nikli. Ab usse pataane ki koshish mein Vikas ne kayi paapad bele aur ek bank bhi loota. jab vikas ko laga ke ab sab theek ho gaya hai tabhi ek aur pahaad toot gaya aur nidhi paise le kar bhaag gayi. vikas hi nahi, nidhi ne Rahul ke bhi paise le liye thhe. Rahul ne vikas ko america relocate hone mein madat karne ka waada bhi kiya.
Kehte hain toote dil ka koi ilaaj nahi hota. jab dil toot jaata hai to saare jahan se nafrat ho jaati hai aur gusse mein aadmi khud ko barbaad karne ko tayyaar ho jaata hai. aisa hi kuch vikas ke saath bhi hua thha. Nidhi ke pyaar mein wo itna pagal ho gaya thha ke uss dhokhe ne usski zindagi ko fir ussi barbaadi ki raah par daal diya thha jahan se woh uss pyaar ke sahare nikla thha. America aaye hue usse ek hafta beet gaya thha. usski kismat achchi thhi ke usski company ne usse itni jaldi accomodate kar diya thha apni america ki branch mein. Aaj wo Rahul ke ghar se nikal kar apne flat mein bhi shift ho gaya thha. iss ajnabi desh mein usko sirf apni bottal ka hi sahara thha. wo na kisi se koi baat karta, na kisi se milta. ghar par daru peeta aur kaam par hangover se jhoojhte hue jo ho sake, utna kaam karta. usski zindagi aise hi chale jaa rahi thhi. reh reh kar ussko nidhi ka khayaal aata. wo sochta ke wo kahan hogi aur kaisi hogi. jiss nidhi ko usne itna pyaar kiya thha, wo usko itna bada dhokha de kar nikal gayi lekin fir bhi usski chahat usske dil se nikal nahi payi thhi.
Aaj shaam bhi wo pee ke achchi tarah se talli thha. reh reh kar usske vichaaron mein nidhi aati jisse usko prem ke upar aur bhi gussa aata. ussko prem se iss baat ki khundas nahi thhi ke wo ussko aise beech mein chhod ke chala gaya. ussko gussa iss baat ka thha ke jiss pyaar ko wo lagbhag bhula chuka thha, prem ki wajah se wohi pyaar se uska waapas saamna ho gaya thha. jis dard ke saath usse jeene ki aadat pad chuki thhi, prem ne wo dard bhula kar kuch haseen sapne usse dikhaye jo pure nahin ho sake. uss din ke baad se prem kabhi bhi usse nahi dikha thha aur usse laga thha ke uska peecha choot chuka hai prem se. Usko iss baat ka bilkul bhi dukh na thha. daru peete peete usse hichkiyan aane lagi to wo paani peene ke liye kitchen ki taraf gaya aur fridge khol ke paani peene laga. paani peete hue usse ehsaas hua ke usske peeche koi khada hai. peeche palat kar ussne dekha to koi nahin thha. usse socha ke nashe ke karan aisa hua hai aur bottal ko fridge mein rakh kar apne bistar ki taraf jaane laga.
ladkhadate hue jab wo bistar ki taraf jaa raha thha to usko thokar lagi aur zameen par gir gaya. apna chehra jab usne upar uthaya to uski aankhon ne bistar ke neeche kuch pada hua dekha. jab wo ragad ke bistar ke aur paas hua to usske hosh udd gaye. bistar ke neeche koi ladki chuppi hui thhi. uski aankhein soorkh laal thhi aur chehra bilkul safed. sar se paaon tak wo ek safed rang ke pardarshi gown mein thhi. darr ke maare vikas jhat se khada hua to usne dekha ke wohi ladki ab saamne uske bistar par baithi hai aur usse ghoor rahi hai. wo vikas ko ishaara kar ke apni taraf bulane lagi. Darr ke maare vikas do kadam peeche hua aur fir ladkhada ke gir gaya. ab wo "ladki" deewaron par rengti hui seedha uske sar ke upar aa gayi thhi. Usske lambe safed daant vikas ko saaf dikh rahe thhe. tabhi unn daaton mein se khoon ki ek boond aa kar vikas par giri. darr ke maare vikas behosh ho gaya.
Subah jab vikas ki aankh khuli sirf 7 hi baje thhe. dard se uska sar phataa jaa raha thha. apne aap ko zameen pe sota dekh vikas ne apne dimag par thoda zor daala aur usko kal shaam ki saari baatein dhyaan aayi. yeh baatein dhyaan mein aate hi fir uske hosh udd gaye. usske jism ke rom rom kaanpne laga. wo khud ko samjhane laga ke yeh sab daru ke nashe ne hi kiya hai, lekin wo ehsaas abhi tak uske rongte khade kar raha thha. wo zameen se utha, apna muh dhoya aur thodi der ke liye bahar nikal gaya. office mein 3 din ki chutti thhi aur vikas ko koi idea nahi thha ke wo in 3 dinon mein kya karega. wo bas muh uthaye chale jaa raha thha jahan bhi uske kadam usko le kar jaa rahe thhe. thhodi der mein hi wo park mein pahuncha. wo bahut thakk gaya thha aur usska poora shareer paseene mein dooba pada thha. wo park mein ek bench par baith gaya aur logon ko jogging karte hue dekhne laga.
Wo paas mein lage water dispenser pe jaa kar paani pee raha thha ke tabhi ek kutta bhaagta hua uski taraf aaya. wo jaldi se water fountain se door hua. kutta uski taraf aaya aur zor zor se usko dekhkar bhonkne laga. kutta ek cocker spaniel thha aur chup hone ka naam nahi le raha thha. vikas tezi se uski taraf badha taaki usko ek laat maar sake lekin jaise hi uski taraf badha, kutta rota hua idhar udhar bhaagne lag gaya. tabhi kutte ki maalkin bhi wahan aa gayi jisne vikas ko ussko maarne ke iraade se aage badhte hue dekh liya thha.
"arrey kya kar rahe ho tum.. kyun maar rahe ho bechaare ko" usne fatafat se kutte ke gale mein lagi chain ko pakkadte hue bola
"bechaara ?? mujhe kaatne aa raha thha... khud ko katwaane se achcha maine usse maarna samjha..."
"mera pingu kisi ko nahi kaat ta.. aur tumhein sharam aani chahiye aise kisi bezubaan jaanwar par atyachaar karte hue"
"bahut sahi hai madam... kutta bhale hi mujhe kaat khaye, lekin main ussko kuch na karun... paalte hi kyun ho kutta agar sambhaala nahin jaata to..."
"kya kutta kutta laga rakha hai... iska naam pingu hai..."
"arrey pingu ho ya osama ho... hai to yeh kutta hi... sambhal lo issko.. fi meri taraf aaya to laat maar ke isska muh tod dunga.. "
"kaise bure insaan ho tum... aao pingu hum chalte hain" kehte hue uss ladki ne doosri taraf ka mod le liya aur chalti gayi. usska kutta abhi bhi reh reh kar vikas ki taraf dekh raha thha aur bhonk raha thha
"haan le jao isse. kahin mere haath se khoon ho gaya to iss baar shayad na bach ke bhaag paoon" vikas chillaya.
Kuch samay wahan baithne ke baad vikas utha aur apne ghar ki taraf chalne laga. raste mein chalte hue bhi ussne notice kiya ke jitne log kutta ghuma rahe thhe, un sab ke kutte vikas se darr bhi rahe thhe aur usse dekh kar bhonk bhi rahe thhe. Jaise jaise vikas apne ghar ki taraf badh raha thha, paseene se uski haalat aur kharaab ho rahi thhi. dheere dheere uski peeth mein bhi bahut dard hone lag gaya ab usse theek se chala bhi nahi jaa raha thha. usne 2 kadam aur liye aur chakkar khaa ke wahin road ke kinare par gir gaya.
Thodi der baad usse hosh aaya to usne dekha ke wo hospital mein pada hai aur ek doctor torch se uski aankhon mein jhaank raha hai
"abe door hatt, andha karega kya" usne doctor ko door dhakka diya jisse doctor ko gussa aa gaya
"main dekh raha hoon ke tumhaare saath kya problem hai..."
"mere saath koi problem nahi hai.. zyaada der yahan reh gaya to hogi problem."
"thodi der ruko. mujhe checkup karne do. tum behosh ho gaye thhe aur tumhein uthaa ke yahan laya gaya thha. checkup se to sab kuch normal lagta hai... par tum behosh kyun ho gaye thhe"
"arrey ho gaya hounga.. mujhe chinta nahin hai to tumhein koi chinta karne ki zarurat nahi hai.. ho jaata hai kabhi kabhi daru se. chal ab hatt door aur mujhe nikalne de." kehta hua usne khade hone ki koshish kari lekin doctor ne uska haath pakkad liya
"dekho main tumhein jaane dunga lekin ek baar checkup karwane mein harz hi kya hai.. yeh free hospital hai aur hum tumhaara achcha ilaaj akrenge."
"theek hai. tu itna kehta hai to main tayaar hoon. lekin koi ilaaj vilaaj nahi akrwana maine."
"chalo uss weighing machine pe khade ho jao" doctor ne weighing machine ki ore ishara karte hue kaha to vikas jhatt se uss par chad gaya.
"kya bakwaas hai... mera weight 130kg aa raha hai.. abhi pichle hafte to 75 thha. ek hafte mein 55kgk aise badh gaya... kya khataara machine hai tumhaari.. yeh bhi free mein mili thhi kya... main nahi karwata koi check up wagerah. kya maalum mujhe AIDS ki bimari de do.. jaa raha hoon main" kehta hua vikas gusse mein uss exam room se bahar nikla. abhi usne mushkil se 10 kadam hi liye honge ke fir uski peeth dukhne lagi aur wo chakkar khaa ke neeche gir gaya
jab vikas ki aankhein khuli to usne apne aap ko ek private ward ke bed mein paaya. Usko glucose ki drips chadh rahi thhi aur uske bistar ke paas 2 doctors aur ek nurse khade koi gambheer mudra mein baatein kar rahe thhe. uski aankhein khulti dekh sabka dhyaan usski ore gaya
"patient ko hosh aa gaya hai" nurse boli
"vikas knaam hai mera.. aur mujhe patient patient karke mat bulao... koi bimari nahin hai mujhe"
"yeh hum decide karenge Mr. Vikas. tumhaari bodi mein alcohol ki maatra bahut hai jisse tumhaara blood pressure aasmaan choo raha hai" ek doctor bola
"haan aur issi liye mujhe chakkar aa rhae hain aur main 2 baar behosh ho chuka hoon. hatao ab yeh sab kuch aur mujhe ghar jaane do"
"unfortunately problem wo nahin hai. tumhaara liver ekdum sahi kaam kar raha hai. problem tumhaare blood mein hai. kisi karan se tumhaara blood dheere dheere sukh raha hai..."
"kya bakwaas kar rahe ho doctor.. kisne di tumhein doctor ki degree... yeh impossible hai... tum log bekaar ho.. mujhe jaane do"
"dekhiye mr. vikas ya to ap humaare saath tests mein cooperate kariye nahin to humein majbooran tumhein behosh karna padega. pata nahin aur sedatives ka tumhaari body pe kya asar ho... heart attack bhi aa sakta hai... behtar yehi hoga ke tum chup chaap yahan pade raho..." doosre doctor ne thoda zor dete hue bola
"hadd karte ho aap.. ek aadmi ko apna ilaaj nahi karwana aur fir bhi tum zabardasti usske peeche pade hue ho... case kar dunga main tum sab par.. main bilkul theek hoon"
"nurse.. get the sedatives.. yeh aise nahin maanega... full body clampers bhi le kar aao taaki issko bed ke saath baandh diya jaaye" doosra doctor aur kathorta se bola...
"mujhe pata hai ke tum meri consent ke bina kuch nahin kar sakte. main jaa raha hoon" kehte hue vikas ne uthne ki koshish kari par uth na paya. tabhi -4 ward boys daudte hue aaye aur usko pakkad liya. nurse ne fatafat se injection diya aur vikas behosh ho gaya. thodi der mein usski neend khuli to usne dekha ke wo operation theater mein hain...
"patient ke heart ne kaam karna band kar diya hai.. jaldi se shock ka intezaam karo.." ek doctor bola. vikaas waapas se behosh ho gaya. iss baar vikas ki aankhein ek jhatke se khuli aur ussne apne aap ko operation theater mein hi paya. wo side mein khada thha aur doctors kisi body ke upar operation kar rahe thhe. ussne thoda paas jaa kar dekha to paaya ke jis body pe operation ho raha thha wo ussi ki thhi.... to kya wo marr gaya thha ?? par heart monitors pe to uski dhadkan aur pulse chal rahi thhi.. shayad yeh sab sapna hi hai...tabhi doctors ne usko palat kar ek taraf ki karwat mein kar diya. wahan ka mahaul dekh kar usske hosh udd gaye.
jo ladki kal usse chatt pe dikhi thhi, ab wo usski peeth se chipki hui thhi. usska thoda sa hissa vikas ki body mein ghus chuka thha. uss ladki ne apna chehra vikas ki taraf kiya aur fir apne lambe lambe safed daant ussko dikha ke daraane lagi. vikaas ki phatt gayi.. ussko samajh nahi aa raha thha ke wo kya kare..
"vikas himmat mat haaro.. tumhein usska muqabla karna padega.. ussko andar ghusne se roko.. main aa raha hoon" tabhi vikas ke kaano mein wo awaaz padi
"kaun hai be.. kaun bol raha hai... yeh kaisa sapna hai"
"main prem hoon vikas aur yeh sapna nahi hai.. tum maut ke bahut kareeb pahunch rahe ho aur ek buri aatma tumhaare shareer par kabza kar rahi hai. kuch bhi ho jaye, tum usse apne shareer mein ghusne mat dena.. main bas aa hi raha hoon"
"kya bakwaas hai.. tum prem nahi ho... yeh ek sapna hi hai.. mujhe itne ajeeb sapne kyun aate hain... saali yeh sharaab ka hi asar hai sab" vikas ne bola...
"vikas meri baat maano. aur lado uss se... main bas pahunch hi raha hoon"
ab vikas ko laga ke chalo sapna hi sahi, par koshish karne mein kya harz hai. wo apne "shareer" ke paas pahuncha aur ussne uss 'ladki' ko kamar se pakkad liya. uss ladki ne zor se cheekh maari aur apna ek haath vikas ke chehre par maara. vikas ka chehra jalne lag gaya. aisa laga maano kisi billi ne panja maar diya ho. jab fir bhi uski neend nahi tooti to usko sach mein darr lagne laga ke kahin yeh baat sach to nahi hai ke uska shareer kissi aur ke kabze mein jaa raha hai... usne fir se uss ladki ki chaati pakkad li aur usse zor zor se kheechne laga bahar. wo ladki cheekhti rahi aur chillaati rahi par vikas ne apni koshish jaari rakhi. kuch der mashakkat karne ke baad vikas ne dekha ke ladki ke paaon ke talwon ko chhodkar, uska saara shareer ab vikas ke shareer se alag ho gaya hai. usne poori koshish kari lekin uss woh ang alag nahi ho raha thha. woh ladki chillati rahi aur vikas ko nochti rahi . tabhi vikas ne dekha ke prem bhi aa gaya hai aur donon ne saath mil kar yeh kaam karna shuru kara... tabhi wo ladki ek baar aur zor se cheekhi...
"ohh shit... yeh madat maang rahi hai vikas.. humein jaldi se kuch karna padega.. nahin to tum issi duniya mein qaid reh jaoge"
"kuch karna padega bole to?? ab aur kya karna hai... naach ke issko daraoun kya main... "
"faaltu ki baat nahi... zarur iss aatma ka koi hissa hai jo tum se juda hua hai jiske karan yeh alag nahi ho rahi hai..."
"waah mere james bond... saale tu timepass kar raha hai yahan.. dikh nahi raha ke uske paaon ke talwe mere shareer se chipke hue hain..." vikaas ne haafte hue bola...
"mera matlab wo nahi hai.. zarur issne tumse judne ke liye kisi cheez ka sahara liya hai.. yaad karo vikas .. tumne iss aatma ko pehle kab dekha thha aur kya isski koi cheez thhi jo tumne li..."
"isski koi cheez... nahi..... issne mujhe kuch diya hi nahi thha... kal raat ko daru ke nashe mein mujhe laga thha ke maine isse pehli baar dekha hai... "
"haan to issne kya kiya thha.. kaise judi thhi yeh tumse..."
"pata nahin.. mujhe laga thha ke ek khoon ki boond mujhpar aa kar giri aur fir main behosh ho gaya thha...."
"kahan giri thhi wo boond.. wo khoon nahi hoga.. iss aatma ke wajood ka hissa hoga jo issne tumhaari kisi cheez se baandh liya hoga.. jaldi yaad karo.. samay bahut kam hai" waapas uss aatma ki chitkaar sun kar prem bola
"gardan pe gira thha meri.. shayad mere locket pe gira thha... "
"kahan hai wo locket...." prem ne poocha aur dekha to operation theater ke ek kone mein ek case mein wo locket rakha thha. "tumhein wo locket uthaana hoga vikas aur usko saaf karna hoga.." aapsi baaton mein wo log itna busy ho gaye thhe ke unhone notice hi nahi kiya thha ke vikas ki dhadkanein ruk chuki thhi aur doctors ne fir se usse seedha lita diya thha.
"kaise.. kaise llon main wo locket..." vikas ne doctors ko operation band karte hue dekha to bola...
"tumhein apne shareer main waapas ghusna hoga. socho mat. jis tarah se bistar par let te ho, waise hi apni body mein waapas ghuso. deri mat karo.. agar wo madat aa gayi to problem ho jayegi. " prem ne kaha to vikas ne uss ladki ko chhod diya aur apne shareer mein let gaya. par abhi bhi jab wo haath pair hilaane ki koshish karta to uski aatma shareer se bahar aa jaati aur shareer mein kuch harkat na hoti. "emotions vikas.. emotions hain jo humein iss duniya mein har ek cheez ke saath jodte hain... kuch aise emotions laao jisse tumhaari jeene ki umeed jaage..."
Ab vikas ko samajh nahi aa raha tha ke wo kya kare.. sach to yeh thha ke usske jeene ka koi maksad thha hi nahin. jabse nidhi ne usko dhokha diya hai, uske jeene ki ichcha hi khatam ho gayi hai...nidhi.... haan nidhi... vikas nidhi ke baare mein sochne laga aur fir uska pyaar paane ke liye tadap uththa... usska rom rom nidhi ke sparsh ko tarasne laga... agar ek baar nidhi ussko waapas mil jaati to fir vikas usse kabhi na khota...
"vikas uthoo..... vo log paas hi hain... locket pakdo.." prem ki awaaz aayi to vikas ne aankhein kholi. iss baar uske haath pair achchi tarah se hil rahe thhe. usne khada hone ki koshish kari lekin dhamm se neeche gira. rengta hua wo uss locket ke paas pahuncha.
"ohh my god.. he is alive.. doctor.. plz rush immediately" nurse intercom pe chillayi aur vikas ko pakadne ke liye daudi. vikas reng kar uss locket waali table tak pahunch hi raha thha ke nurse ne usse pakkad liya.
"abe chhod mujhe" vikas thoda hila lekin usske jisam mein kuch jaan nahi thhi. nurse usse uthaane lagi. jaise hi wo khada hua ussne nurse ko ek dhakka diya jissse wo thodi door ja giri. tabhi ussne dekha ke sab doctors bhaage bhaage andar aa rahe hain. usne ek jhappatta maar ke wo locket uthaya,,, "ab kya karun isska..."
"khoon ke daag saaf karna hai iska... dekh kahin kuch mile to" itna hi suna thha vikas ne. doctors ne usko achchi tarah se pakkad liya thha aur usko bed ki taraf le jaa rahe thhe. usko ek injection bhi de diya thha. idhar udhar dekhne par vikas ne paaya ke paas mein hi ek basin mein disinfectant rakha hua hai. usski aankhein bojh se band ho rahi thhi .. ussko pata thha ke agar abhi usne aankhein moond li to shayad kabhi nahi jee payega... usne ek aakhri dum lagaya aur uss locket ko uss besin ki taraf uchal diya aur khud adhmara ho kar operation table par let gaya....
Jab Vikas ki aankhein khuli to usko bahut halka halka meshoos ho raha thha. chaaron taraf bahut tez roshini thhi aur kuch dikhayi nahi de raha thha. uske pairon ke neeche bhi sirf roshni hi thhi. aisa lag raha thha maano wo baadalon mein ghira hua ho.
"marr gaya kya main ?" wo zor se chillayya
"nahin... abhi tak to nahin mare ho tum. congrats. do baar mar ke jeevit hone ke liye" usko prem ki awaaz aayi
"Prem.. tu hai kya... dikhta kyun nahi hai.... saamne aa mere..."
"tumhaari aankhein abhi band hai vikas. abhi tumhein kuch nahi dikhega jab tak tum marr nahi jaate ya uth nahi jaate"
"yeh ab kahan fas gaya hoon main... saale tu jab bhi aata hai, mere liye koi na koi maut ka paigaam hi laata hai"
"yeh maine nahi kiya vikas. yeh to tumhaari badkismati thhi..."
"haan haan.. main hi badkismat hoon... aaram se jee raha thha.. tune aa kar saari zindagi ki maa behen kar di.. ab kya karne aaya hai..."
"main na aata na vikas, to tum dekhte rehte aur tumhaare shareer mein vo pret aatma ghus jaati. tumhein mera shukarguzaar hona chahiye, aur tum mujhe hi gaaliyan nikal rahe ho"
"kyun na nikalun gaaliyan... tune meri zindagi ko kya se kya kar diya hai..."
"jo kiya maine nahi kiya... mujhe kya pata thha ke neha kya plan bana rahi thhi.. main tumhaari soch pad sakta thha, usski nahi... khair choddo in baaton ko..."
"haan haan.. chhod do... tum to nikal loge kisi aur ke saath.. zindagi to meri kharab hui na prem... saara ghar baar chhod ke to main aa gaya hoon na iss ajnabi desh mein...."
"tu bol to aise raha hai jaise bharat ki poori abaadi teri dost thhi.. kis ko chhod kar aaya hai wahan?? uss watchman ke siwa tujhe miss hi kaun karega?? wo bhi dua hi karega ke tum kabhi waapas na aao taaki fir tumhein nashe ki haalat mein usse tumhaari flat tak na chhodna pade... baat karta hai..."
"main jaisa thha, tere aane se pehle khush thha..."
"purani baatein chhod ab. abhi jo ho raha hai wo soch..."
"nikal gayi kya wo chudail mere andar se?"
"haan.. tera fenka locket seedha nishane par laga aur uska daag gir gaya..."
"mujhe to pehle hi pata thha ke main apna talent waste kar raha hoon.. mujhe to nishanebaazi mein india ko represent karna thha..."
"tu fir faltu ki baat karne laga... "
"chal tu kaam ki baat kar.. kya thha jo yeh sab thha..."
"yaar yeh ek sadiyon se chali aa rahi kahani hai. jaisa maine tumhein bataya thha, dharti par bahut hi saare logon ki aatmayein bhatak rahi hain... har koi mere jitna fortunate nahi hota jo ke aise bande ko khoj sake jo unko dekh sake. kayi aatmayein yahan 2-3 hazaar saalon se bhatak rahi hain. ab aatmaon ka koi shareer to hota nahi, to samay ke saath saath unka wajood thhoda thhoda ghista rehta hai. itne saalon se yahan sadne ke karan kuch aatmayein hoti hain jinke andar ki saari achchai ghis jaati hai aur wo buri aatmayein ban jaati hain. wo badle ke liye jis insaan par haath pade, usko dukh pahunchaane ki koshish karti hain. mujhe lagta hai kisi janam mein yeh aatma ussi jagah par rahi hogi jahan tum rehte ho. issi liye isne tumhaare andar ghusne ki koshish kari"
"par main hi kyun ?? aur yeh aatmayein waapas iss duniya mein kyun aana chahti hain ?"
" vikas log samajhte hain ke mar ke khel khatam ho jaata hai, lekin aisa hai nahi. marne ke baad ki zindagi iss dharti ki zindagi se zyaada mushkil hoti hai. khaaskar ke hum jaison ke liye. pal pal marne ka dukh aur kuch na karne ki frustration jaise humein khaaye jaati hai. bholl jaate hain hum log ke zinda rehna kaisa lagta hai. yehi karan hai ke kuch buri aatmayein zabardasti kisi ke shareer mein ghusne ki koshish karti hain. bahut saari aatmayein safal ho jati hain par kuch ek asafal bhi hoti hain. ab uss aatma ki haalat aisi ho jayegi ke wo 15-20 saal tak hil bhi nahi payegi. bas hawa ke saath ek jagah se doosri jagah uddti rahegi"
"lekin main hi kyun... maine kya in logon ki bakri churayi thhi jo yeh aatma mere peeche padd gayi.."
"hum jaisi aatmayein sirf do hi roopon mein ek shareer mein ghus sakti hain. ek wo hai jaise iss aatma ne koshish kari - zabardasti kisi toote hue aadmi ke saath apna wajood jod lena aur fir dheere dheere uska khoon choos ke uske andar sama jaana. doosra tareeka hai ke kisi aadmi ki marzi se uske andar ghus jaana"
"kaun aisa aadmi hai jo inko apne andar ghusne dega?"
"hote hain kuch jo jaane anjaane mein yeh kadam bhi utha lete hain..."
"to kya koi bhi aatma mere andar ghus sakti hai?"
"ab mushkil hai kisi ka zabardasti ghusna.. iss aatma ne tumhaare shareer par ek nishaan chhod diya hai jisse baaki aatmaaon ko pata chal jayega ke isska hashra kya hua thha. itne saal moorchit haalat mein pade rehne ke darr se, koi tumhaare andar ghusne ki koshish nahi karega"
"tumhein itna sab kuch kaise maloom hai prem..."
"jab main gusse mein tumhaare paas se chala gaya thha to mujhe apne jaise aatmaaon ki ek basti mili. wahan itne din rehne ke baad mujhe yeh pata chala hai..."
"ek hafte mein tumne itna sab pata kar liya?"
"yeh tumhaare liye ek hafta hoga vikas. hum jaison ke liye yeh 7 saal ke barabar hai. waise bhi main "nayi" aatma hoon to mujhmein yeh sab samajhne ki capacity kuch zyaada hai..."
"hmm.. theek hai... par ek baat batao.. tum meri madat karne kyun aaye... tum to mujhe chhod ke chale gaye thhe...."
"maine apni galti realise kar li hai vikas. aur ab jab meri mukti ka koi saadhan nahi dikhta to mujhe lagta hai ke main tumhaare saath hi rahun. kam se kam koi to hoga jissko main apna keh sakunga ya jisko kuch sudhar sakunga. main tumhein dhoondh raha thha lekin tum mil nahi paaye. tumhaari aatma ki tadap hi thhi jisne mujhe tumhaari taraf kheencha aur main jaldi se aa gaya..."
"to matlab hai ke tum mera peecha marte dam tak nahi chhodoge ? aise hi pareshan karte rahoge mujhe ??"
"tumhein pata hai prem ke main tumhaari kitni madat kar sakta hoon.. kam se kam tumhaari paison ki samasya to bhaag hi jayegi... main tumhein yakeen dilaata hoon ke iss baar tumhein kuch bhi karne ko nahi kahunga.. bas mujhe apne ghar mein rehne ki ijaazat de do...."
"ijaazat ?? pehle tum meri ijaazat ke baad ghusse thhe kya ?? pehle to kisi khet mein madmast saand ki tarah ghus gaye thhe aur meri zindagi ko tehes nehas kar daala... ab permission maang rahe ho?? bade ajeeb ho tum..."
"nahi vikas. main tumpar bojh nahi banna chahta... agar tum haan nahi kahoge to main sach much tumhein chhod kar chala jaunga. tadapta rahunga iss dharti par aur intezaar karta rahunga tumhaara mann badalne ka...."
"chal chal.. senti mat maar ab... main tumhein IJAAZAT deta hoon" vikas ne khilkhilaate hue kaha
"to kya main sach much tumhaare ghar mein reh sakta hoon?"
"haan haan .. bilkul reh sakte ho..."
"thank you vikas.. tumhein pata nahi hai ke tumne meri kitni badi pareshani hall kar di... chalo abhi main chalta hoon... thoda kaam karna hai mujhe" prem ne kaha aur uski awaaz aani band ho gayi... vikaas bhi thodi der idhar udhar bhatakta raha. fir usne dekha ke achanak se roshni ke wo baadal dhundhle hote jaa rahe hain... usne socha ke shayad usse hosh aa gaya hai aur ab wo apne shareer mein waapas aa jayega... usska sochna poori tarah se galat nahi thha. ussko hosh aa rhaa thha. usske aas paas ka scene badalne laga. ab vikas ek hospital mein thha. apne ward mein. par wo fir se ek kone mein khada thha. ussko apna shareer wahan machinon se laga dikh raha thha.tabhi usne dekha ke usske shareer men harkat hui aur uske shareer pe lagi aankhein khul gayi.. vikas ko samajh nahi aa raha thha ke yeh kya ho raha hai aur wo apne shareer mein kyun nahi hai.. tabhi usne dekha ke usska shareer chehre par halki muskaan ke saath uski taraf dekhne laga aur uske kaano mein prem ki awaaz goonji
"thank you vikas. mujhe apne ghar mein rehne ki ijaazat dene ke liye thank you..."

Pehle to Vikas ko kuch samajh nahi aaya ke ho kya raha hai. wo muh khol ke bas idhar udhar dekhta raha. wo dekhta raha ke usske shareer mein harkat honi shuru ho gayi hai aur doctors kaafi satisfied dikh rahe hain. "kya yeh sach much ho sakta hai? kya sach mein prem ne mera shareer le liya hai ya yeh bhi sapna hi hai?" wo aisa sochne lag gaya.
"sapna sapna sapna... tumhein har cheez sapna hi kyun lagti hai vikas." uske kaano mein prem ki awaaz padi
"keh do prem.. keh do yeh sab mazaak hai...."
"nahin vikas. yeh mazaak nahi hai. yeh sab kuch tumne hi apne upar daala hai. main tumhein samjhaata raha ke sudhar jao magar tum nahi maane. nahin dekh sakta main kisi ko apni zindagi aise barbaad karte hue, khaas kar ke jab main uss zindagi ke liye mara jaa raha hoon. tumhein to koi farak padega nahi. tumhaare jeene ka to koi maksad pehle bhi nahi thha. bas tum maut ki hi aasha kar rahe thhe. jo tumhein chahiye thha wo tumhein mil gaya hai. saddo ab wahan." gussa prem ki aankhon mein saaf jhalak raha tha. "kitni achcha lagta hai zinda hona. koi dard nahi. koi samasya nahi.. mujhe to abhi se mazaa aane laga hai"
"yaar prem tu aisa kaise kar sakte hai.. maine tujhpe vishwas kiya aur tujhe apne saath rehne ke liye bola aur tune yeh kar diya" niraash hote hue vikas ne bola.
"surprise surprise... main jhooth bol raha thha. tumhaare shareer ko kaabu mein karne ke liye mujhe kayi papad belne pade hain. ab to main issko nahi chhodne waala"
"saale yeh silaa de raha hai tu meri dosti ka? maine kya kuch nahi kiya tere liye..."
"jhooth. tumne mere liye kuch nahi kiya. tumne sab kuch apne liye hi kiya. tum nidhi ko pehle se chahte thhe. tumne mera sirf faayda uthaane ki koshish kari taaki tum usske aur kareeb aa sako. aise mat dekho mujhe.. sab pata chal gaya thha mujhe isliye main tab tumhaare paas se gaya thha. tumne ek aatma ka faayda uthaane ki koshish kari thhi vikas. tumhein sharam aani chahiye... lekin nahi.. tum to ulta mujh ko hi kos rahe thhe. ab tadpo aur mehsoos karo wo torture jo main har pal har lamha mehsoos karta aaya hun itne dinon se. dekho ke jab tumhein manzil dikhti hai lekin tum manzil tak pahunchne ki soch bhi nahi sakte to kaisa lagta hai. mehsoos karo uss tadap ko jo tumhein logon ko zinda dekh kar hoti hai aur socho ke kaash tumne apni zindagi barbaad na kari hoti. ab sirf tumhaare sochne ke hi din baaki hai vikas. ab jo karunga, wo main hi karunga."
"tum kuch bhi bol lo prem par apne aap ko justify nahi kar sakte. sach to yeh hai ke tumne apni zindagi barbaad kari. tumhaare karmon ki wajah se tumpar yeh sab problems aayi. Fir bhi tumhaari kismat achchi thhi ke maine tumhaari madat karne ki koshish kari. Ab tumhaari biwi chalu nikali to ismein meri kya galti hai. Kyun tum mujhe sazaa de rahe ho kyunki main tumhaari kari hui galtiyan nahi sudhar paaya? Sach to yeh hai ke tum abhi tak yahan fase hue ho kyunki asal mein aaj bhi tum vahi prem ho jo marne se pehle thhe. Tumhaare dil mein asal mein koi dukh nahi hai apne karmon ka. Aaj bhi agar tum zinda hote to tum waise hi apni biwi ko dhokha de rahe hote. Yeh saara dukhi hona aur mere saamne gidgidaana sirf ek bahana thha tumhaara apni mukti paane ka. Ab jab tumhein aur kuch nahi mila to tumne mujhe behla kar meri zindagi le li... kahan ka insaaf hai ye”
“bhashan bade dene aa gaye tujhe... ab yeh baatein sochta reh aur peet-ta reh apna maatha deewaron se. Saddta reh uss duniya mein. Main yahan teri duniya mein aish karunga. Jo zindagi tune puri tarah se barbaad kar di thhi, main fir se theek karunga. Tera koi bhala ho na ho, main to apna aaram se rahunga. “ prem ka itna kehna hi thha ke vikas gusse mein bokhla gaya. Wo koshish karne laga ke koi cheez utha ke prem ko maare lekin uske haath har cheez ke through ho jaate thhe. Ant mein thak haar ke wo ek kone mein baith gaya aur rone laga. Itna ashay usne khud ko aaj tak mehsoos nahi kiya thha. Ussko kuch samajh nahi aa raha thha ke wo kya kare aur kahan jaye. Apni yeh problem bataye bhi to kissko bataye. “rone se kuch nahi hoga vikas. Mere khayal se tumhein ab mere aas paas hi rehna chahiye. Kya pata kisi din mera dil badal jaye aur main tumhein tumhaara shareer waapas kar doon. “ prem haste hue bola.
Ab vikas sochne laga. Usske paas sach mein do upaye thhe. Ya to wo prem ke saath saath rehta aur umeed karta ke prem ka dil badal jaye ya wo yahan se chala jaata uss gyaan ki khoj mein jo ussko apna shareer waapas hathyaane mein madat karega. Wo soch nahi paa raha thha ke wo kya kare.
Hairan aur pareshan vikas wahin ek kone mein khada raha jabki prem uske shareer mein ghus ke aaram se so raha thha. jaise jaise vikas usko dekhta jaata, uska gussa aur bhi badhta jaata. wo na sirf prem pe gussa thha par khud pe bhi thha. kitni aasani se ussne kuch hi dinon mein doosri baar apni zindagi barbaad kar di thhi. ab usko sach mein lagne laga thha ke yeh uski sazaa hi hai apni zindagi ki sahi value na samajhne ki. Wo bilkul hi hataash ho gaya thha. usko yeh to pakka thha ke prem itni aasani se uska shareer usse waapas nahi karne waala. wo bhi agar prem ki jagah hota to shareer kabhi bhi waapas na karta. to matlab yeh shareer usko cheen na hi padega. lekin kaise... prem itna to murakh nahi thha ke sab kuch pata hone par bhi uski baaton mein aa jaye.
aisa sochte hue wo ghoom hi raha thha ki prem utth gaya. vikas ne socha ke chalo ek baar waapas se usske saamne gidgida liya jaaye. jaise hi prem ki aankhein khuli to ussne vikas ko apne upar ghurta paaya...
"kya hua..." prem ne poocha
"shareer chori ho gaya mera. chor bhi saamne hai.. par kuch kar nahi paa raha hoon.. aur kya hoga...."
"ab kitne din issi baat ko rota rahega vikas... ab tujhe samajh aaya ke meri kya tadap hoti thhi... aur tu pura wat mera mazaak udaata rehta thha..."
"abe teri tadap teri maut ke karan thhi... kisi ne tere vishwas ka galat fayda uthaa ke tera jism nahi istemaal karna shuru kar diya thha..."
"tu to aise bol raha hai jaise tera rape kar diya maine..."
"rape hi to kar diya hai... usse bhi bura haal hai mera... rape hota to kuch din tak pichwada dukhta aur fir theek ho jaata.. abhi to samajh nahi aa raha hai ke yeh naatak kitne din tak chalega... kabhi band bhi hoga ya main yun hi Mr. India bana rahunga...."
"der saver tujhe tera shareer waapas mil hi jayega... prakriti ke niyam ka ulanghan zyaada din tak nahi ho sakta.. par main puri koshish karunga ke tu har pal tadpe aur wo dard samjhe jo mujh jaisi aatmayein jhelti hain... tujhe seekhna padega ke yeh jeevan tu itni aasani se waste nahi kar sakta..."
"mujhe seekh mil gayi hai mere bhai. mujhe pata chal gaya hai ke maine bahut galat kaam kiye hain... ab mera shareer waapas kar de..."
"ab yeh tera nahin, mera shareer hai.. jab mujhe lagega ke tu issko appreciate karne layak ho chuka hai.. tabhi isse waapas karunga... zyaada nautanki mat kar ab... jitna tu yahan randi rona royega, utni hi der mein mujhe iss hospital se chutti milegi. sahi yeh hi hoga ke tu chup chap rahe taaki mere dimag pe zor na pade aur doctors jaldi se discharge kar dein mujhe"
"yaar tu ek hafte mein kitna badal gaya hai... jo prem humesha pyaar se baat karta thha, wo aaj mere saath kaisi gandi gandi baatein kar raha hai..."
"main nahi badla vikas.. samay badal gaya hai.. ab tu meri boli bol raha hai aur main teri... chal chup kar ke wahan jaa ke khada ho jaa... doctors aate hi honge checkup ke liye..." prem ne bola to vikas ek school mein teacher dwaara punish kiye gaye bachche ki tarah kandhe jhukaye ek kone mein jaa ke khada ho gaya...
kuch hi samay mein usne dekha ke ek doctor aaya aur prem se baatein karne lag gaya. wo uske thoda paas hua taaki saari baatein sun le...
"humein sach mein nahin pata ke tumhaare saath kya hua thha. tumhaare shareer ka har ang ab bilkul sahi kaam kar raha hai.. jo bhi problem thhi, wo theek ho gayi hai.. humne tumhein thodi der observation mein bhi rakha thha par tumhaare andar koi bhi problem nahi hai..." doctor bola
"to kya main bilkul theek hoon..." prem ne poocha
"lagta to aisa hi hai... bas umeed karte hain ke kuch waapas na ho jaye.. lekin tumhein yahan rakhne ka mujhe koi tuk nahin dikhta.. bas itna kehna chahta hoon ke agar kabhi bhi thodi si bhi pareshani ho, to fauran yahan waapas aa jaana. main tumhaare discharge paper sign kar deta hoon. ghante bhar ke andar tum jaa sakte ho..."
Doctor ka itna kehna hi thha ke prem khushi se phoola nahi samaya... ussko bas iss baat ka intezaar thha ke kab wo yahan se nikle aur bahar ki hawa ko apne upar mehsoos kare.. muddat ho gayi thi jeene ka ehsaas liye usse. jald hi saari formalities poori ho gayi aur prem bahar nikalne ke liye tayyaar ho gaya... vikas bhi usske peehce peehce kandhe latkaye chale jaa raha thha. wo nikal hi rahe thhe ke prem ki takkar ek doctor se ho gayi...
"tum".. wo gusse mein aag baboola hote hue boli
"haan main..." prem bola aur apne mann me vikas se bola .. "kaun hai re yeh..."
"arrey wo isske kutte se jhagda ho gaya thha ek din park mein.." vikas bola..
"kutte se jhagda?? saale insaan kam pad gaye thhe kya jo ab kutton se ladne laga... aadmi hai ya pajama..."
"yaar pata nahi kyun uss din mujhe bhonke jaa raha thha.. mera dimag pehle hi kharam thha to maine bhi dhamka diya..." vikas bola...
"waise uss din ke liye sorry hai... mujhe aapke kutte ke saath aisa salook nahi karna chahiye thha. " prem bola
"pingu..." wo saamne se boli...
"kiski goo..."
"saale uske kutte ka naam pingu hai..." vikas bola
"ohh achcha achcha pingu.. haan pingu ko meri taraf se sorry keh dena.. keh dena vikas uncle sorry bol rahe thhe aur kal uske liye dog biscuit laayenge bina zeher waale.."
"khabardaar jo mere pingu ko kuch dene ki koshish kari to..."
"arrey kabhi nahi... humaari kya matti maari gayi hai jo itni sundar madam ke pingu ko maarenge aur unse humeshaa ke liye dushmani kar lenge.. aise thode na chalta hai... waise mera naam vikas hai..." prem ne apna haath aage karte hue bola
"hi.. i am ruhi..." usne haath milaate hue bola...
"aap yahan kisi ko le kar aayi hain ya apna ilaaj karwane aayi hain?"
"i am a doctor here... and i am getting late" kehte hue ruhi wahan se chali gayi..
"dekha tune.. seekh kuch... aise karte hain ladki ko impress. tune neha se hi bolne mein hi itni mehnat kari thhi jaise panipat ki jang jeet li ho..." prem ne kaha aur hospital ka darwaza khol ke bahar nikal gaya vikas ke saath
Kitnon samay se prem ne iss taazi hawa ko mehsoos nahi kiya thha. aaj wo chahta thha ke bas apna poora shareer issi hawa se bhar le. yeh hawa, yeh bhini bhini khusbuen, yeh suhaana mausam - yehi sab to thha jisse paane ke liye wo itna desperate ho gaya thha ke vikas ka shareer cheen ne ko tayaar ho gaya thha. iss shareer mein bitaya ek ek pal ab usse kisi anmol ratan jaisa lag raha thha. ussko itni khushi ho rahi thhi ke uski aankhein bhar aayi
"yeh dekho... haramkhor... rona mujhe chahiye aur tu aansoo baha raha hai.. itna hi dukh hai to waapas kyun nahi chala jaata jahan se aaya hai... nautanki saala"
"tum nahi samjhoge vikas. kabhi kisi cheez ke liye til til ke tadpo aur fir tumhein mil jaye to aisa hi hota hai."
"abe dhyaan se" kareen se guzarti car ko dekhkar vikas bola. "ab tu aatma nahi raha... mere shareer ko kuch nuksaan mat pahunchaana". vikas ko bhi bahut hi ajeeb lag raha thha. usske liye yeh din utna ujaale se bhara nahi thha jitna prem ke liye thha. chaaron aur jaise saanjh ka sa mausam thha aur bahut hi zyaada bheed thhi. "aaj din mein hi itni kam roshni kaise ho gayi.." wo bola
"roshni kam nahi hui hai vikas. yahan hospital ke aas paas bahut si roohein bhatak rahi hain. har ek rooh apne peeche koi na koi chaap chhod jaati hai. yehi karan hai ke tumhein wo jagah thodi dull lag rahi hai. aage jaa kar sab theek ho jayega." prem bola aur sachmuch uske kahe anusar thode hi samay mein din ek dum 100 watt ke bulb jaisa chamakdar ho gaya. "apna address bata..." prem ne ek taxi rokte hue bola aur vikas ke bataye address pe chalne ke liye bola. vikas bhi taxi mein ghus gaya.
jab wo ghar mein pahunche to ghar ka darwaaza khula hua thha.
"arrey tu darwaaza band karna bhool gaya thha kya..." prem ne vikas se poocha...
"pata nahin... jahan tak mujhe yaad hai maine to band kiya thha..." vikas kuch sochte hue bola.
"tu aur teri yaddasht.." prem bola aur andar ghus gaya room ke...
"aaiye vikas ji.. aapka intezaar ho raha thha...." prem ke andar ghuste hi usse awaaz aayi... saamne do gunde jaise dikhne waale log baithe thhe....
"kaun ho tum..."
"abe saale... mujhe bhool gaya... ismail bhai ko bhool gaya tu.... munna.. meri bandook dena to zara... tujhe bola thha naa saale ke police mujhe zyaada din bandh nah irakh sakti... aur tu mujhse bhaag ke yahan aa gaya... lagta hai tujhe ismail bhai ki power ka andaaza nahi hai"
"kaun ismail bhai.. kaun ho tum..."
"saale natak band kar.. gaand mein pistol ghusa dunga.. munna meri pistol de to" wo peeche khade munna se bola aur apni pistol haath mein le li... "haan ab bol... yaad aaya ke dabaoon ghoda...."
"yehi hai wo jo tumhaare udhaar liye paise waapas lene aaya thha nidhi ke yahan aur mujhe dharr liya thha. tumhaare baap ne bhi issi ko apne bank account ke looteron ko dhoondhne ka kaam saunpa hai...." vikas prem se bola
"yaad aa gaya .. yaad aa gaya... kaise hain aap..." prem haath jod ke bola...
"abe baraat ka swaagat kar raha hai kya.... chal nikal 1 crore rupaye..."
"1 crore rupaye kaun se.." prem ne hairaane se poocha...
"abe bachpan mein maths nahi padha thha kya... 50 lakh jo teri chammak challo ko mujhe chukaane thhe aur 50 laakh jo tune shekhar shekhawat ke bank account se churaaye thhe... ab time khoti mat kar.. jaldi se paisa nikal de.. mere paas aur bhi bahut kaam hai" ismail gusse mein bola...
"ah...ah.. wo paisa to mere paas nahi hai...." prem bola...
"tere paas nahi hai... to kahan gaya wo paisa ??? mazaak ke mood mein nahi hoon main... chal jahan pe chupaya hai paisa wahan se nikal..." ab ismail ko gussa chadhne laga thha.
"main sach kehta hoon ismail ji... mere paas ek phooti kaudi bhi nahi hai... kahan se laaun itna paisa... maine koi bank account nahi loota..." prem gidgidaate hue bola...
"aye munna.. samjha isse... yeh mere dimag ka dahin kar raha hai... shayad yeh bhool gaya hai ke main kaun hoon" usska yeh kehna hi thha ke munna jaldi se aage hua aur bola
"kyun natak kar raha hai... paisa de de... tu jaanta nahin hai ismail bhai ko.. jo tujhe yahan tak dhoondh sakta hai, wo pal mein hi yahan tujhe maar bhi sakta hai.. kyun apni jaan se haath dhona chahta hai tu... tera handsome thobda clear dikh raha thha bank ke camere mein..." usne vikas ko samjhaate hue bola
"dekhiye bhai sahab... mere paas koi paisa nahin hai... yeh baat sach hai ke maine bank se paisa churaya thha. par yeh baat bhi sach hai ke wo paisa maine nidhi ko dene ke liye churaaya thha...."
"to shaane mangaa na nidhi se wo paisa... aur kahan hai wo chammak challo... usne bhi bahut tadpaya hai mujhe... usse bhi hisaab poora karna hai mujhe..." ismail garjaa
"wo paisa le kar bhaag gayi hai..." prem dheere se bola...
"abe meri shakkal pe kya chutiyon ka sardar likha hai?? saale itni boori tarah gaand marunga ke duniya samajh bhi nahi payegi ke tere saath kya hua... paisa la ke de abhi ke abhi.. " ismail khada hua aur prem ke sar par bandook rakh ke bola
"kyun ek baat ke peeche pad gaye ho... maine bola na ke paisa nahin hai to nahin hai.. hota to tumhein de deta.. meri jaan se pyaara thode hai wo paisa mujhe.. mujhe ullu bana ke saara paisa le kar bhaag gayi hai nidhi. main utna hi kangaal hoon jitna pehle hota thha. kaisa samjhaun yeh main tumhein...."
ismail ek nakli hassi haste hue bola, "abe chutiye... tu kya samajhta hai ke main teri baat maan lunga... jo aadmi itni aaram se desh ke sabse surakshit bank se paise nikal ke dafaa ho gaya, wo ek kal ki chokri se chutiya katwaa baitha... yeh baat mujhe to kya, kisi ko bhi hazam nahi hogi..."
"hazam ho ya na ho, yehi sach hai... bandook mere sar par hai.. main jhoot kyun bolunga..."
"kyun bolega yeh to nahi pata.. bol raha hai, yeh pata hai... 24 ghante ka samay deta hoon tujhe... ya to tu mujhe wo ladki laa ke de jiske paas tu kehta hai ke saara paisa hai, nahin to saara paisa laa ke de. jo bhi ho, theek 24 ghante ke baad agar paisa mere paas nahi hua, to samajh liyo ki teri jaan gayi... itna tadpa tadpa ke maarunga ke saari kaaynaat kaanp uthegi tera hashra dekh kar..." bahut hi zyaada gusse mein ismail bola... "abe o munna.. tu apni baap ki baraat mein aaya hai kya jo kone mein khada maze le raha hai.. chal.. aur bhi bahut kaam hai apan ko.." ismail munna ko bola aur wo dono saath mein chale gaye kamre se bahar.
"ab kahan phas gaya main.. saale vikas..." 10 minute shaant rehne ke baad prem bola...
"mujhe mat kos prem.. tera hi kiya dhara hai... tere hi karan hua hai sab. aaj tak tere bure karmon ke karan koi na koi bhugat raha thha... aaj aaya hai ooth pahaad ke neeche" vikas ne thahaka lagate hue kaha... "tu poora wat bolta rehta hai ke main teri condition samjhoon, tera dard mehsoon karun.... ab tu mera dard mehsoos kar... dekh kitne papad bilwaye thhe tune mujhse... aur dekh kya kya jhelna pada thha mujhe..."
prem apna sar apne dono haathon se pakkad ke baith gaya. uske dimag mein kuch nahi aa raha thha ke ab kya kare. 1 crore ko chhoti rakam to thhi nahin jo aaram se mil jaati. 24 ghante mein to itna paisa laana namumkin hi thha. ussko ek hi tareeka dikh raha thha ke kisi tarah nidhi ko dhoondha jaye aur usska pata hi ismail ko de diya jaye.. lekin itni badi duniya mein wo nidhi ko dhoondhega kaise?? wo bhi 24 ghante mein... samay dheere dheere khatam hota jaa raha thha aur iss janjaal se nikalne ka usse koi upaay nahi dikh raha thha.
"bhai mujhe to koi upaay nahi dikh raha hai... tu hi apni akkal lada..." kaafi der tak jaddojehad karne ke baad prem ne vikas ko bola
"main kya google hoon jo ek crore ka idea de dunga... tune fansaya hai iss janjaal mein, tu hi nikaal.. mujhse nahi hota yeh sab..."
"arrey saath mil kar sochenge to zarur kuch hoga... tu bas wahan khade hue mujhe hi ghoor raha hai..."
"dekh raha hoon main ke teri halat kitni kharab ho chuki hai... ab pata chala tujhe meri condition ka... tere liye bahut mamooli cheez thhi meri madat.. lekin tune meri zindagi ko ek public mootralaya bana diya... koi bhi aa ke moot ke jaata raha.. ab bhugat.. main ab aaram karta hoon..." kehta hua vikas nakli hansi hasne laga
"aaram karta hoon se tera kya matlab hai? shareer to tera hi hai na... usne maar bhi diya to mujhe to thhoda sa dard hi hoga.. lekin tera waapas na aana to confirm ho jayega... chal ab madat kar..." prem ki baat mein point to thha. so dono baith kar apna dimag ladane lage
"nidhi ko kaise dhoondha jaye...." thodi der baad vikas bola...
"impossible hai usko dhoondhna.. wo iss bhari duniya mein kahi bhi ho sakti hai... kahan kahan dhoondhenga..."
"dekh tune bhi to mujhe dhoondh liya thha na.. ho sakta hai ke tu nidhi ko bhi dhoondh paye... koshish to kar..."
"teri maari kahani doosri hai vikas... main tere saath bandha gaya hoon... teri har ek soch, har ek harkat ka mujhe pata rehta hai... baakiyon ke saath aisa nahin hai... tere paas paise nahin hai kya?"
"mujhe dekh kar lagta hai ke main crorepati hoon?? itna paisa hota to aise idhar udhar bhaag nahi raha hota.... hmm.. Rahul... uski madat le sakte hain... shayad uske paas kuch ho..."
"uski property girwi padi hai... wo kyun madat karega ab teri? nidhi uske bhi to paise le kar udd gayi thhi.... aur koi dost nahi hai tera??"
"nahin.. aur to koi nahin hai..."
"bank se loan le lete hain..."
"bahut achche... jaake unko kehte hain ke gale mein kharash ho gayi hai.. ek crore chahiye aur wo 2 minute mein paisa muh pe maarenge na.... meri naukari ki pagar itni nahi hai ke 40 saal mein bhi ek crore kama paaoon.. aur tu loan ki baat karta hai.... meri kayi generations ko bank ka bandhua mazdoor ban ke rehna padega... thodi to akkal laga yaar.. kuch achcha soch..." ab vikas ko bhi darr lagne laga thha.
"aisa karte hain .. alag alag reh kar sochte hain... tu thoda ghar ke bahar ghoom aur main yahan reh kar sochta hoon... fir milte hain aur decide karte hain"
"main kyun bahar jaun?? tu bahar jaa na..."
"tera shareer aaj hi hospital se nikla hai.. main issko aur exert kar ke issko nuksaan nahi pahunchaana chahta... " prem haste hue bola...
"bahut kameena hai re tu... theek hain.. main hi thoda ghoom ke aata hoon" vikas ne kaha aur nikal pada room se bahar.
Wo bahar bas chalta jaa raha thha aur kuch sochne ki koshish kar raha thha. koi idea uske dimag mein nahi aa raha thha ke tabhi uski takkar ek ladki se ho gayi. ladki neeche gir gayi.
"abe dekh ke nahi chala jaata kya... aankhon ki jagah button fit kar diye hain kya..." wo bina mude bola aur chalta raha...kuch hi palon mein usko apni gardan par pressure mehsoos hua jaise koi usse daba raha ho..
"koun ho tum... tum yahan ke nahi ho... kya lene aaye ho iss duniya mein..."
"arrey gala chhod.. maarne ka iraada hai kya... theek hai marr nahi sakta par dard to hota hai na..." vikas zor se chillaya... uss ladki ki awaaz badi hi ajeeb si thhi.. aisa lag raha thha jaise tez hawa mein koi bolne ki koshish kar raha ho
"kaise dekh sakte ho tum mujhe?? kaun ho tum aur yahan kyun aaye ho.. jaldi batao..." wo waapas boli. par iss baar usne apna haath vikas ke gale se door kar diya...
"ji main ek kismat ka maara hoon. jisse pyaar kiya, usne dil toda aur jissko dost samajh ke uski madat karni ko koshish kari, usne yahan pahuncha diya... main iss duniya ka sabse abhaga insaan hoon... aaj tak mere liye kuch sahi nahi hua.. aisa lagta hai ke mera dharti pe aana bhi ek galti thhi" vikas jaldi jaldi bola...
"kya badbadaa rahe ho..."
"meri kahani kuch iss prakar hai..." kehte hue vikas ne apni saari kahani uss ladki ko suna di.. pata nahi kyun... usko yeh karne se thoda sukoon mil raha thha. apne bachpan ki kahani to wo nidhi ko bhi bata chuka thha par aage ki kahani kisi aur ko batane se jo sukoon usko mil raha thha, usse usske kaleje pe thodi thandak pahunch rahi thhi.
"yeh to bahut dardnaak kahani hai... sach mein tumhaare saath bahut bura hua hai.. main tumhein dekhte hi samajh gayi thhi ke tum alag ho.. waise main tumhaara shareer tumhein waapas dilaane mein tumhaari madat kar sakti hoon. par tumhein uske badle mera ek kaam karna hoga..."
"kya kaam...."
"wo main tumhein waqt aane par bata dungi... "
"ajeeb hadh hai.. har kisi ko mere se kuch na kuch kaam nikalwana hai... main kya yahan koi kaam nikalwane ki machine hoon... "
"tumhein apna shareer waapas chahiye ke nahi?"
"chahiye..."
"to for tumhein mera kaam karna hi padega..."
"theek hai.. lekin pehle mera shareer waapas milna chahiye..."
"theek hai.. chalo tumhaara shareer waapas lete hain" uss ladki ne kaha aur vikas ke peeche peeche chal padi. excitement mein vikas jaldi jaldi chale jaa raha thha. usne dekha nahi ke uss ladki ke chehre par ek ajeeb si muskaan thhi.
"bhai mujhe to koi upaay nahi dikh raha hai... tu hi apni akkal lada..." kaafi der tak jaddojehad karne ke baad prem ne vikas ko bola
"main kya google hoon jo ek crore ka idea de dunga... tune fansaya hai iss janjaal mein, tu hi nikaal.. mujhse nahi hota yeh sab..."
"arrey saath mil kar sochenge to zarur kuch hoga... tu bas wahan khade hue mujhe hi ghoor raha hai..."

"kitna door hai tumhaara ghar" uss ladki ne poocha
"tumhaara naam kya hai" jawaab dene ki bajaye vikas ne saamne se ek aur prashan kiya.
"nisha."
"kaise mari thhi tum?"
"accident ho gaya thha..."
"yaar yeh accident bade hote hain is duniya mein... aur kuch ho na ho, mera jeena haraam kar rakha hai in accidenton ne."
"kab tak pahunchenge hum?"
"pahunch jayenge jab pahunchna hoga... itni jaldi kya hai.. pehle yeh batao ke kaam kya karwaogi mujhse?? waapas mera ullu to nahin bana rahi?"
"kya tumhein lagta hai ke main tumhaara ullu banaungi vikas? meri tadapti aatma ko mushkil se koi madat karne ko tayyar hua hai aur tumhein lagta hai ke yeh mauka main haath se aise hi jaane dungi?" usne bholi surat bana ke aur apni baaton mein mithaas gholte hue vikas ko kaha. vikas ne ek nazar uski ore daudayi aur bola:
"hmmm... dekhne se to nahi lagta ke tum murakh bana sakti ho, lekin tumhein mujhe ek waada karna hoga..."
"kaisa vaada" nisha boli
"tumhein waada karna hoga ke meri madat karne ke badle mein tum mera shareer nahi maangogi...."
"arrey yeh bhi koi baat hui.. main keh to rahi hoon ke aisa kuch nahi karungi..."
"to fir karo waada...." vikas ko thoda thoda shakk hona shuru ho gaya thha ke yeh nisha ki rooh uska faayda to nahi uthaane waali
"vikaas bachkaani baatein mat karo aur chalo tumhaare ghar... main tumhaari madat karne ki koshish kar rahi hoon aur tum ho ke...." thoda chidti hui nisha boli
"tum pehle waada karo. hum fir hi aage badhenge. nahin to main tumhaara koi bhi kaha nahi maan-ne waala" vikas ne ruk kar kaha. "agar tumhaare mann mein khott nahi hai to kyun tum meri baat maan nahi rahi"
"theek hai vikas. main vaada karti hoon ke tumhaari madat karne ke badle mein main tumhaara sharir nahin mangoongi.. chalein ab" vikas ki aankhon mein dekhti hui wo boli
"haan chalo. yeh saamne waali building mein mera ghar hai. aa jao." vikas nisha ko le kar chalne laga. mann hi mann wo bahut khush ho raha thha ke apni chaturai se dhokha khaane se bach gaya. jab wo dono ghar mein ghuse to prem ghode bech ke soya hua thha. vikas ko gussa to bada aaya ke itni tension ke samay mein prem so raha hai lekin wo kuch bola nahin. bolta bhi kaise, jism waapas paane ki khushi ne sach mein uske shabdon pe lagaam laga di thhi. "ab kya karna hai" usne nisha se poocha.
"shhhh.. dheere bolo.. wo jaag gaya to pareshani hogi" nisha dabi hui awaaz mein boli. "tumhaare paas prem ki koi cheez hai?"
"yaar ajeeb gadhe ki poonch hai tu.. ab aatma ban ke kya main prem ki cheezein le kar ghoomunga? thodi to akkal laga" nervousness ne vikas ko gherna shuru kar diya thha. usse achanak se hi lagne laga thha ke uska shareer paana usske liye itna aasaan nahi hoga. wo bas nisha ki taraf ghoorta jaa raha thha aur dekh raha thha ke nisha kuch sochne ki koshish kar rahi hai..
"tum yahan khade raho. main shareer ke paas jaa kar khadi hoti hoon. thodi der mein main tumhein kuch mantra jaap bataungi. jaise jaise main kahun, tumhein usko sirf dohraana hai. thode hi samay mein wo aatma tumhaare shareer tyaag degi aur tum waapas ussko dharan kar paoge." ussne aisa kaha aur vikas ko hairani mein khada chhod kar wo bistar ke paas chali gayi. fir wo uss shareer ke chaaron aur kuch budbudaate hue haath pair chalane lagi. vikas ko kuch samajh nahi aa raha thha lekin fir bhi khada bas dekh raha thha. achanak se ussne vikas ki taraf muh kiya. "mere peeche peeche dohraana shuru karo" aur kuch bolne lagi. vikas ke samajh mein nahi aa raha thha ke wo kya bol rahi hai par wo andaaze se jitna sahi ho sakta thha, utni achchi tarah se usske shabd dohra raha thha. ussne abhi bolna shuru hi kiya thha ke usske shareer mein harkat hui.
prem aise uchalne laga jaise usske shareer ko current pad rahe ho. uski samajh mein kuch nai aa raha thha ke kya ho raha hai aur uske bhayankar dard ho raha thha. chaaron taraf dhua dhua sa lag raha thha. tabhi usse ehsaas hua ke vikas aas paas hi hai aur mantar jaap kar raha hai. "vikas.. kya kar raha hai yeh.. ruk jaa...yeh bewkoofi mat kar..."
"isski baat mat suno vikas. yeh darr gaya hai .. apni baaton mein aise hi uljhaane ki koshish kar raha hai". nisha ek pal ke liye mantar padhna bandh kari to prem ko jaise fir se thodi si shakti mil gayi.
"vikas kiss ke kehne par kar raha hai yeh... meri baat maan jaa... jo bhi hai wo tera shareer hathyaane ki koshish kar raha hai... itni aasani se tujhe tera shareer waapas nahi mil payega... aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" prem ke shareer mein fir se dard ki bahut tez sui-yan chubhne lag gayi thhi.
Vikas bina kuch soche samjhe nisha ke kahe shabd dohraye jaa raha thha. usne prem ki baaton pe zara dhyaan nahi diya. wo fatafat shabd bol raha thha ke ussko fir prem ki awaaz aayi "vikaas maan jaa meri baat. aisa karega to tu apne shareer se bilkul hi haath dho baithega. jo bhi tere saath hai, bahut hi powerful tantra ka sahara le raha hai. wo kabhi aasani se tera shareer nahi chodega. mujhpar vishwaas kar vikas. please mujhpar vishwaas kar."
ab iss cheez ne usko sach mein ek duvidha mein daal diya. aur wo chup ho gaya. "vikas .. chup kyun ho gaye... humaare paas time nahi hai... jaldi karo.." kehkar usne kuch shabd waapas dohraye. vikas samajh nahi paa raha thha ke uss aadmi ka yakeen kare jissko wo shayad thoda bahut jaanta thha aur jo usko dhokha de chuka thha ya uss ka jisko wo bilkul bhi nahi jaanta thha. ek pal ke liye ussne kuch socha aur decide kar liya ke kya karna hai....
"Jis ka pata hi thha ke dhokha de hi chuka hai, aur shayad waapas dega hi, uske upar bhala kyun vishwas kiya jaye. waise bhi nisha ne vaada kar to diya hai ke wo mera shareer nahi maangegi meri madat ke bina. to fir uski hi madat karunga. bhaad mein gaya prem, uske dhokhe, uski makkari aur usska jhooth" aisa vikas ne socha aur nirantar un mantron ka jaap karta raha. prem dard se tadap raha thha aur cheekhein maar raha thha.
prem ko dheere dheere uss shareer pe apni pakkad kamzor padti jaa rahi thhi. usko aisa lag raha thha jaise wo ek lohe ka tukda ho aur usse thodi dorr pe kisi bahut hi powerful magnet ko on kar diya ho. bina chahe hue bhi wo uss magnet ki taraf khincha jaa raha thha aur dard itna ho raha thha ke bas poocho na. usko dheeme dheem aisa lag raha thha jaise usska wajood halka ho raha hai aur chhat ki taraf badh raha hai. usko kuch samajh nahi aa raha thha ke wo kya kare. usko pakka yakin thha ke jo bhi vikas ki madat kar raha hai, wo iss shareer par kabu paa lega aur vikas fir se bharosa kar ke haath mein ghanta pakde reh jayega. ussne ek aakhri baar vikas se madat ki umeed lagayi aur apni poori jaan laga kar bola, "vikas tujhe nidhi ki kasam hai ruk jaa." aur iss baar uska teer sahi nishaane par laga aur vikas chup ho gaya.
Vikas ko khud nahi pata thha ke wo chup kyun ho gaya. uske kaan mein sirf nidhi shabd pade aur ek-a-ek uske honth apne aap ruk gaye. wo rukna nahi chahta thha, par ruk gaya. ab jab bhi wo muh kholta to usske muh se awaaz nahi nikalti. jo dimag abhi tak poori tarah se apne shareer ko waapas paane ke baare mein soch raha thha, wo ab bhatak gaya thha aur nidhi ke baare mein sochne lag gaya thha. uski hasi reh reh kar vikas ke kaanon mein padti. usski khushboo reh reh ke vikas ko mehsoos hoti. uski aankhon ke saamne jaise sirf aur sirf nidhi hi chaa rahi thhi. usska yeh bhram nisha ki awaaz se toota.
"chup mat ho vikas. humein humaara shareer waapas lena hai..." yeh baat sunkar pehli baar vikas ne nisha ko upar se neche tak gaur se dekha. sach much wo ek bahut hi sundar ladki thhi. jism ke har sahi jagah par sahi maas aur sahi ubhaar. usski shakal bhi usse jaani pehchaani si lag rahi thhi ab. kahin yeh.... haan... yeh shakal to nidhi se kaafi similar thhi. kahin yeh nidhi to nahi hai?? nahin nidhi nahi ho sakti, wo hoti to shakal poori tarah se same hoti. shayad yeh chudail ne usske mann ko padh kar hi aisa roop dharan kiya thha.
"humaara shareer nahi, mera shareer" vikas ne mantar padhne bilkul band kar diye thhe ab.
"haan haan.. jo bhi... mantar padhna shuru karo" wo thodi si khij ke boli
"jo bhi nahin. yeh mera shareer hai. humaara shareer nahi. aur yeh waisa hi rahega. tumhaara isske upar koi bhi hak na thha, na hai aur na hi hoga" ab vikas ko pehli baar lag raha thha ke wo jo kar raha hai, wo theek kar raha hai. isliye josh mein bhar kar hero jaise dialogue maar raha thha.
"haan haan. tera hi shareer rahega. ab mantar padhna shuru kar" vo aur jhalla ke boli
"abe mantron ki chachi.. sach sach bata ke tu hai kaun.." vikas usske paas badhta hua bola...
ab ussko bhi pata chal chuka thha ke usska natak pakda jaa chuka hai. kaise pakda gaya, yeh ussko nahi pata thha. lekin pakda gaya hai, itna pata chal chuka thha. shareer paane ke itne paas hokar bhi itni door hone ke karan usska gussa bhi charam seema par thha, par ussne bhi ek baar aur haar na maani. "meri baat kyun nahi sunte tum vikas. tumhein pata to hai main kaun hoon. fir mujhe kyun katra rahe ho... meri aankhon mein aankhein daal kar batao, kya tum mujhse abhi tak utna pyaar nahi karte jitna kabhi college mein kiya karte thhe ? kya abhi bhi tum mujhe paane ke liye nahi tadapte? kya tumhein nahi lagta ke agar tumhaari prem se mulaat na hui hoti aur tumhein pata chal jaata ke main tumhaare pados mein rehne aayi hoon to tum mujhe aur achchi tarah se impress kar paate? kya tumhein nahi lagta ke tumhaari zindagi prem ke bina hi achchi thhi? kya tumne kabhi nah isocha ke agar prem hi tumhaare raaste se hatt jaye to tum kuch bhi kar sakte ho?? to fir aaj jab prem ko hataane ka samay aa gaya hai to tum kis soch mein padd gaye ho? kyun nahi maante meri baat? kyun nahi prem naam ki iss bimari se peecha chuda lete" ab uss aatma ki shakkal ekdum nidhi jaisi ho gayi thhi. aur usski awaaz bhi bilkul nidhi se milne lag gayi thhi.
"band kar yeh faltu ka naatak. mujhe pata hai ke tu nidhi nahi hai. yeh faaltu ke hathkande karke tu kabhi bhi mera support nahi le payega. ek pal ke liye meri selfishness ne meri aankhein band kar di thhi. lekin ab main sab samajh chuka hoon. ab aa jaa tu apne asli roop mein" vikas ne yeh kaha aur dekha ke wo aatma ne ek aadmi ka roop dharan kar liya. gusse mein uski aankhein laal thhi.
"kyun .. aakhir kyun tune mujhe waapas tadapte rehne par majboor kar diya vikas" usne gusse mein kaha aur saamne pade vase ko uthaa kar vikas ki taraf phenk diya. ab vikas thha to ek aatma hi. wo vase usske andar se guzarta hua deewar se jaa takraya aur chhote chhote tukdon mein bikhar gaya. hairani se vikas ki aankhein phati ki phati reh gayi ke uss aatma ne kaise ek asli cheez ko utha liya. "zyaada mat soch vikas. pem ki aatma humaari duniya mein kaafi nayi hai issliye kaafi cheezein nahi jaanti. main jaanta hoon. aur tujhe sikha bhi sakta hoon. bas meri madat kar iss prem ko apne shareer se bahar nikalne mein.. kyun tujhe achanak se iss se itna lagaav ho gaya hai?"
"prem se lagaav achanak se nahi hua hai mujhe. chahe prem ne mere saath kuch bhi kiya ho, lekin usski koshish yehi thhi ke main ek achcha insaan bann jaaoon aur apni zindagi aise vyarth na jaane doon. jis raah par main chal raha thha, ussne mujhe uss raah se pehle ek baar alag kiya. jo nidhi ne humaare saath kiya usspe usska koi control nahi thha. shayad wo issliye hua thha taaki mujhe pata chal sake ki achcha insaan banne ki raah aasaan nahi hai. har kadam pe darjanon mushkilen hain. wo ek tarah se mera test thha jisko maine poori tarah se fail kar diya. achcha insaan bann ne ki seedhi pe chalte hue pehli thokar hi main bardaasht nahi kar paaya aur fir ussi talle par aa gaya jahan se nikal kar mujhe sukoon mil raha thha. shayad issi liye kismat ne mere saath yeh khel khela hai. mujhe pata nahin hai ke mera shareer mujhe kab milega, lekin milega zaroor, yeh pata hai. aur iss baar main waapas mili zindagi ko yun vyarth nahi jaane dunga. yeh mera apne aap se vaada hai" vikaas poore sankalp ke saath bola.
"tu chahe kitna bhi apne aap ko convince kar le vikas, lekin prem ek makkaar hai aur woh makaar hi rahega. jo apni biwi ko dhokha de sakta hai, wo kisi ko bhi dhokha de sakta hai. rona padega tujhe baad mein. fir baat karenge"
"dhokhe ki baat tu na hi kar to achcha hai. tu khud hi mera shareer hathyaane ke chakkar mein thha. bhala ho jo maine sahi samay par break maar di, nahin to main aur prem dono iss paar hote aur abhi tu maze loot raha hota"
ab prem ko bhi hosh aane lag gaya thha. "kisse itni gyaan ki baatein kar raha hai vikas... aur kiske kehne par tune fir thokar khaane ka iraada kar liya thha?" wo bola
"thhi ek ladki.. lekin ab wo ladka ho chuki hai. vikas tumhein chot pahunchaane ka iraada nahin thha. shayad tum meri stithi samajh sakte ho. lekin samay rehte main sambhal gaya. aur shukar hai iss baat ka."
"agar abhi bhi tum meri madat karo to main tumhein apna shareer waapas paane ka tareeka bata sakta hoon" wo aatma boli
"shareer ko waapas paane ka tareeka bata ke tu mujhe waapas nahi lalcha sakta." ab vikas ka bhi iraada pakka ho gaya thha
"lagta hai jab tak main tujhe yeh raaz nahi bataunga, to kisi na kisi ki baaton mein aakar aise ulte seedha kaam karta hi rahega vikas. isliye aaj main hi tujhe batata hoon ke tu apna shareer waapas kaise paa sakta hai. zyaada mushkil nahi hai. lekin mehnat ka kaam hai" prem bola aur ho gaya shuru vikas ko yeh raaz ki baat batana
"karma.. yeh ek aisi cheez hai jiss ko bahut kam logon ne matvapuran samjha hai. lekin yeh ek bahut hi important cheez hai. tumhaari after-life mein yeh bhale hi thhoda matva rakhe, par current zindagi mein bahut mahatva rakhta hai. jab tak tumhaara karma neutral ya positive hai, tumhaari zindagi aaram se chalti hai. jaise hi yeh negative hota hai, tumhaari zindagi mein adchane aana shuru ho jaati hain. yeh karma tumhaare shareer se nahi, tumhaari aatma se juda hota hai. kuch bahut hi kam log hote hian jinka karma ya to bahut positive hota hai ya bahut negative hota hai. in dono type ke logon ko waapas dharti pe janam de kar bheja jaata hai taaki positive karma waali aatma yahan pe rehne waale logon ka aur bhala kare aur negative karma waali aatma prayschit kare aur apna karma positive kare. agar in dono me se koi bhi situation ulti padti hai to uss aatma ko jaldi hi kheech liya jaata hai aur fir usska lekha jhokha hota hai aur decide hota hai ke usse narak mein faika jaaye ya swarag mein rakha jaye." prem bola
"to mujhe yeh sab kyun bata raha hai tu?? maine kaun sa yahan aatankwaad failaaya hai ya padosiyon ke bachche khaaye hain jo mujhe yeh din dekhne pad rahe hain" vikas ne bola
"karma sirf in sab karyon ko karne se hi nahin badhta/ghat ta vikas. har cheez jo tum karte ho, usske saath koi na koi karma juda hota hai. kisi zarooratmand ko roti dena, kisi ka ha maarna, apni zindagi ko vyaarth udaa dena, apne maa baap ka adar na karna - yeh sab wo chhoti chhoti baatein hai jinse humaara karma juda hota hai. agar baat tumhaari ho to tumhaara karma sach mein itna negative thha ke aaj nahi to kal tumhaara bulaava aa hi jaata aur tumhein narak ki aag mein saddna pad sakta thha. lekin har ek aadmi ke paas apna karma significantly sudhaarna/bigaadne ke kayi mauke aate hain. tumne wo mauka tab le liya thha jab tumne meri help karne ke liye haami bhari thhi. lekin jo humne chaaha wo ho nahi saka aur wo mauka tumhaare haath se gaya. ab tumne fir apni purani aadaton ko apna kar apna karma kam karna shuru kar diya. jab kisi aatma ka karma kam ho jaata hai, to aas paas ki bhatakti hui aatmayein usse target karne lag jaati hai kyunki wo jaanti hain ke usske shareer par se original aatma jald hi nikalne waali hai. shareer aur aatma ki isi kamzori ka faayda wo uthaana chahti hain aur kayi baar ismein saksham bhi ho jaati hain."
"tune jo kehna hai wo khul ke keh. yeh paheliyan mat boojha. tune batana thha mera shareer waapas kaise milega aur tu pata nahi yeh kya karma gyaan dene lag gaya..."
"seedhi baat yeh hai ke agar main tera shareer nahi leta to koi aur tera shareer le leta. jo bhi ho, 2-4 din mein tu to oopar pahunchne hi waala thha. tera shareer maine le kar tujhpar ek ehsaan kiya hai. main tera shareer aaram se surakshit rakhunga aur teri aatma ka karma tujhe badhaana hi hoga. jab tera karma waapas badh jayega aur tu waapas iss dharti pe rehne ke layak ho jayega, tab main tujhe tera shareer waapas kar dunga. yeh mera waada hai tujhse."
"Ab saala yeh karma kahan se laaun... koi fal hota to ped se tod kar khaa jaata. koi churaane waali cheez hoti to tujhe pareshan kar ke chori karwa leta... par yeh laoon kahan se..."
"mauke milte rahenge vikas. bas mauke ko pehchaan-ne ki koshish karna. agar tumne mujhse koi ulte seedhe tareeke se yeh shareer hathya bhi liya, to tum zyaada der tak iss duniya mein tik nahi paaoge. isliye jo kuch bhi karoge, thoda soch samajh ke karna. apna shareer waapas paana tumhaara lakshya nahi hona chahiye, iss dharti par iss shareer ke saath zyaada se zyaada samay bitaana tumhaara lakshya hona chahiye"
"Abe kitna gyaan dega be tu. chal ab itna bol hi diya hai to yeh bhi bata hi de ke kaise apne lakshya ko paoon"
"yeh tumhein hi sochna hai. aur waise bhi raat bahut ho gayi hai. ab main sone laga hoon. bahut thaka diya hai tumhaare unexpected surprise ne. kal ka din pata nahi kya le kar aayega. kaise yakeen dilayenge un logon ko ke hum kadke hain. aaj to aaram se sote hain.... waise ek baat poochun..."
"mujhe pata hai kya poochna hai tune aur usska jawaab hai nahin. uss aatma ne bilkul sahi kaha thha mera mann padh kar. main wohi sab sochta hoon tere baare mein. na to mujhe tere se koi hamdardi hai aur na hi chahat." vikas ne jaise prem ke kaleje par ek hathodi se vaar kar diya thha. "chal ab so jaa. main idhar udhar bhatak kar dekhta hoon kuch mil paye to"
*-*
Subah jab prem ki aankh khuli to vikas paas mein hi khada thha aur sofe par ismail bhai baitha thha. munna har baar ki tarah unke bagal mein khada thha.
"yeh kya natak laga rakha hai re tune... teri jaan pe bani hai aur tu ghode bech kar so raha hai ?? saala poore din ghar mein band reh kar hila raha thha kya kal? na ghar se bahar nikla aur na hi kisi ko call lagaya .... ya to saara paisa tere paas hai ya fir tujhe apni jaan ki chinta nahi hai re baba" kehkar wo hasne laga aur munna bhi unko hasta dekh hasne laga.
"ismail bhai. yakeen karo mera. mere paas na hi aapke paise hai aur na hi nidhi ka koi ata pata. main yahan hoon bhi ajnabi isliye kissi se paise udhaar nahi le sakta. ab aisi haalat mein bahar jaa kar tandav karne se to raha. ghar par baitha hi bahut der tak soch raha thha ke kya kiya jaye, lekin koi raasta nahi dikhta mere ko"
"main dikhata hoon raasta tere ko shaane. gaand se goli daalunga, raasta bana ke muh se bahar niklegi. ismail bhai ke saath shaanpaatti nahi karne ka. tu jaanta nahi hai ke main kitna danger aadmi hoon" fir munna ki taraf dekhte hue "munna meri pistol lekar aana to zara"
ab to prem ka dimag bhi ekdum sadd chuka thha. ek to itni subah, upar se fir se in logon ke saath maatha pachchi. "abe apni pistol paas mein kyun nahi rakhta tu? kya baar baar mangaata rehta hai? goli maarni hai to maar. maa kasam uff tak nahin karunga. lekin mujhe maar kar tere paise nahin milne waale. tera network strong hai, hum nidhi ko dhoondhte hain. paise waapas lete hain. mere sar chadh kar kyun tandav kar raha hai tu..."
"abe zabaan ko lagaam de. bandook mere haath mein hai. rob dikhaane ka haq sirf mere ko hai. tu darr. mujhse apni jaan ki bheekh maang. fir batata hoon main ke kaise tera chamda nikal kar, usske joote bana kar bechunga aur apna paisa vasool karunga" ismail ne gusse mein kaha.
"..aur itni jaldi kyun aa gaye?? 24 ghante ka samay diya thha na.... abhi bhi kaafi samay baaki hai"
"apnu time khoti nahi karta... pichle time mein tune ghanta kuch ukhaada hai jo ab 8 ghante mein tu 1 crore le aayega ?? saale koi paudha boya hai kya jisse paise niklenge?? mere paas ek offer hai, isliye jaldi aaya" ismail thoda serious ho kar bola
"to fir bolo na offer. kahe ko magajmaari karte ho" prem ne ismail ki hi bhasha mein bola
"aye.. meri duplicate nakal nahi nikalne ka.. gaand mein goli daal kar muh se bahar nikalunga. jaanta nahi hai tu abhi ismail bhai ko"
"nahin karunga mere baap. bas tu mujhe bata ke kya offer hai tere paas" haath jod kar prem ne vinti kari
"ab aaya na line par. dekh kuch bhi bol, jis tarah se tune uss bank mein se paisa nikaala thha, wo kabiletarif hai. aur kuch ho na ho, tu chor bahut achcha hai. jo chori tune pichli baar apne liye kari thhi, main chahta hoon wo tu iss baar mere liye kare..."
"kya bakwaas hai.. main koi bank wank nahi lootne waala. uss din main lucky thha. yahan ke bank waise nahin hain.."
"bank nahi re... ek heera lootna hai tujhe.. yaah kahen to heere ki angoothi. bahut hi nayaab hai. mere ek client ka dil usspar aaya hua hai lekin bahut mehengi hai. paisa to wo de sakta hai lekin jiss cheez ko chura sakte hain usske liye paisa kya dena. ussne mujhe bahut badi rakam dene ka waayda kiya hai agar main wo angoothi usse la kar dun to. tu wo angoothi chura aur mujhe laa kar de. baat khatam. tera account clear. tu apne raste, main apne raste. dono ajnabi. angoothi kaun si dukaan se churaani hai, yeh main bataunga. lekin mere jaise aadmi ka wahan ghusna khatre se khaali nahi hai. yeh kaam tujhe hi karna hoga.. kaise yeh mujhe nahi pata"
ab marta kya na karta. prem ne socha ke marna to aise bhi hai aur waise bhi, ek baar dekh hi lete hain ke yeh angoothi kahan hai aur churayi jaa sakti hai ke nahin, agar kaam safal hua to bach jayenge, nahin hua to america se bhaag jayega iss umeed ke saath ke shayad agle baar ismail usse na dhoondh paye. aisa soch kar wo ismail se uss shop ki details wagerah samajhne lag gaya. vikas bhi aage ho gaya taaki ussko bhi yeh sab details pata chalti rahein.
ismail bhai ke jaane ke baad bhi vikas aur prem bahut der tak koi tarkeeb sochte rahe heere ki angoothi churaane ki. kaafi samay baad bhi jab koi upay nahi nikla to prem bola,
"vikas ek kaam kar. tu wahan jaa kar dekh kyun nahi aata ek baar saare intezaam. ek baar tu apni aankhon se dekh lega to shayad hum kuch karne mein saksham ho sakein"
"haan. main bhi yehi soch raha thha. lekin prem, kya tujhe sach mein lagta hai ke hum kuch kar payenge... hum dono mein se koi bhi chor nahi hai. bank aaram se loot liya thha kyunki wahan ka sab kuch pata thha. yeh to bahut badi chori lagti hai"
"chinta mat kar vikas. main yahan saara saaman baandhta hoon. tu zara ho kar aa jaa. agar koi raasta nahi dikha to aaj hi iss desh se bhaag jayenge. waapis india jayenge. koi tarkeeb lagaunga main ke apne kisi dost ke yahan tujhe naukari bhi mil jaye. par lets hope ke yeh ismail bhai ka chakkar khatam ho hi jaye. to ek baar ho kar to aa jaa. yeh raha address."
"tu bhi mere saath chal prem. agar rasta bhatak gaya to kya hoga. main to kisi se pooch bhi nahi paunga."
"theek hai. main bhi chalta hoon. lekin main uss dukaan ke bahut hi door khada rahunga taaki koi bhi mujhe dekh na paye. kisi ne dekh liya to fir chori karni bahut hi mushkil ho jayegi" prem ne vikas se bola aur nahaa dho ke thodi der mein tayyaar ho gaya. "dukaan zyaada door nahi hai. chal kar hi jaate hain." prem ne kaha aur dono ghar se ravaana ho gaye. prem ne socha ke park ke beech mein se short cut le liya jaye aur park mein ghus gaya. peeche peeche vikas bhi chal pada. dono chal hi rahe thhe ke unko saamne Dr. Ruhi tehelte hue dikhi. ab basically to prem ek playboy hi thha. to wahan khada hua wo usse ghoorne laga. usske saath usska kutta bhi thha.
"yehi hai kya pingu?" prem ne poocha
"haan. yehi hai. badi irritating awaaz hai. bas kutton ki tarah bhaukta rehta hai" vikas ko wo din yaad aa gaya
"aa zara dr. sahiba se mil lete hain"
"prem late ho rahe hain. pehle kaam nipta lete hain."
"arrey dukaan kaun sa kahin bhaage jaa rahi hai." prem bola aur fir vikas ka chehra dekhte hua bola, "chal theek hai. wo jo gate dikh raha hai na tujhe, uss se bahar nikal ke right le lena. kaafi der tak seedha chalega to deBeers ka bada sa showroom dikh jayega. koi pareshani hogi to ruk jaana. main aata hoon thodi der mein. aise hum dono kaam ek saath kar lenge" vikas ko pata lag gaya thha ke prem nahi maanega. issliye wo khud hi prem ke bataye raste par chalne lag gaya. idhar prem lapak kar Ruhi ke paas ho liya.
"kya doctor sahiba.. subah subah sehat bana rahi hain apni aur pingu ki... bahut badhiya hai.. koi tips hamein bhi de do" ruhi ne ussko dekha aur andekha kar ke aage badh chali. prem bhi itni aasani se haar maan ne waalon mein se nahi thha. "arrey lagta hai aapne abhi tak uss din ke liye maaf nahi kara. uss din meri tabiyat theek nahi thhi. guss emein kuch zyaada bol gaya shayad. kab tak aise hi sazaa dengi aap. maaf bhi kar dijiye."
ab ruhi ko bhi pata chal chuka thha ke prem aise peecha nahi chhodne waala unka. "dekhiye maine aapko maaf kar diya hai. bas mera peecha mat kijiye. mera morning schedule thoda tight hota hai. mere paas aapke liye waqt nahi hai" ussne ruk kar prem ki taraf dekhte hue kaha. pingu bhi peeche mud gaya dekhne ke liye ke usske morning walk mein kaun pange kar raha hai.
"arrey madam waqt to nikalne se hi niklega na. chaliye saath mein walking karte hain" kehta hua prem usske saath ho liya.
"arrey aap samajhta kyun nahi, jab bol diya ke apne raste jaao, to jaao na. kyun faaltu mein gale padte ho" ruhi ne gusse se kaha. apni maalkin ko gusse mein dekh kar pingu bhi prem ki taraf dekh kar gurraane lag gaya.
prem ne socha ke ab ruhi se baat karke to koi faayda hai nahi, kutte ko hi impress kar liya jaye. wo apne ghutnon pe hua aur ek haath aage kar ke pingu ko bulaane lag gaya. pingu pehle se hi thode gusse mein thha to bhaag ke ussne prem ki ungali apne daaton ke beech daba li aur usse zor zor se kaatne lag gaya. "aaahhhh" dard ke maare prem ki muh se cheekh nikali. "abe ungali hai meri.. chhod.." wo pingu ko hataane ki koshish karne laga par pingu hatne ka naam nahi le raha thha. dard ke maare prem bhi chilaane laga. tabhi ruhi aage badhi aur pingu ka jabda apne haath se thoda sa khol diya jisse uski pakkad thodi dheeli padi aur prem ne haath bahar nikal liya. ungali se bahut hi tez khoon beh raha thha.
"dekha .. main keh rahi thhi ke chal jao.. nahi maane tum.. dekho kya ho gaya" ruhi thodi pareshan ho kar boli... "uff itna khoon beh raha hai... aisa karo apni ungali ko zor se daba lo aur mere peeche peeche aao.. ghar par main tumhaari dressing kar deti hoon. pehle jaa kar jaldi se uss fountain ke paani se haath dho lo. paani thanda hai, khoon bhi thoda ruk jayega" prem samajh gaya ke kutte ne uska kaam kar diya hai. ladki ke dil mein uske liye thodi hamdardi jaag gayi hai. wo thoda aur dard ka natak karte water fountain ke paas gaya aur apna haath dho liya. fir wo ruhi ke peeche peeche usske ghar jaane lag gaya.
*-*
Udhar vikas ne poori dukaan ka achche se muaayna kar liya thha. chori ki gunjaish usse lag hi nahi rahi thhi. dukaan ke andar bahut saare CCTVs lage hue thhe jo har ek jagah par nigraani kiye hue thhe. waise yeh dukaan india ki dukaanon jaisi nahi thhi. yahan par ek waiting area thha aur andar ki ore kayi chhote chhote offices thhe. shayad har ek office type ki jagah ek salesman ke under aati thhi. har ek cube mein ek taraf ek badi si desk thhi aur ek taraf chhoti desk. chhoti desk ke dono ore kursiyan thhi. shayad customer ko iss chhoti desk par baitha ke usko angoothiyan dikhayi jaati thhi. saari angoothiyan shayad uss badi desk mein rakhi thhi. har ek cube mein ek camera thha jo ek kone mein thha aur aisi position pe thha ke saare room ki aaram se recording kar sakta thha. wahan se wo back area mein agay jahan ussne dekha ke ek aur office hai (shayad boss ka thha) aur ek bade se office mein 2-3 tarah ki badi badi machine padi hain, jo ki ussko samajh nahi aaya ke kiss kaam ke liye hain.
achchi tarah se saara maamla samajh ke vikas hatash ho gaya. ab usko pakka yakeen ho gaya thha ke yahan chori karna namumkin hai. wo bujhe mann se dukaan se bahar nikla aur waapis apne ghar ki ore chal pada. raaste mein usse wohi aadmi khada mila jisne kal usske shareer ko hathyaane ki koshish kari thhi. vika sko chalta dekh wo bhi usske peeche peeche ho liya.
"kyaa baat hai.. waapas kuch ulta karne ka iraada hai kya?"
"meri madat kar do vikas. plz..."
"abe kaahe ki madat.. bhaad mein jaa tu. time nahi hai mere paas. tujh jaise logon ki madat karne se achcha hai main narak mein hi saddta rahun"
"aisa na kaho vikas. main aur nahi sehen kar sakta iss duniya ko. please mujhe yahan se mukti dilao. mujhe pakka yakeen hai ke tum yeh kar sakte ho. yeh koi mushkil ka kaam nahi hai."
"haan haan. maine pehle bhi yeh baatein suni hui hai. abhi tak pachtaa raha hoon. kisi aur ko dhoondh tu. main kuch nahi karne waala."
"vikas meri ek baat to sun lo. bas tumhein mera ek message kisi tak pahunchaana hai. bas. aur kuch nahi karna. jaise hi tum wo msg uss tak pahuncha doga, mera kaam ho jayega aur mujhe mukti mil jayegi" wo aadmi gidgidaane laga
"bas ek msg?? aur kuch nahin?"
"nahin. bas ek msg batana hai"
"haan yeh to main kar dunga. kiss tak pahunchaana hai wo msg?"
"tumhaare ghar ke paas hi meri premika rehti hai. uss tak"
"kya naam hai uska?"
"Dr. Ruhi"
Prem ka khoon behna ab bahut kam ho gaya thha. Ruhi ne antiseptic aur cotton se uska ghaav achchi tarah se saaf kiya aur patti kar di. Ussko itne kareeb se dekh kar baar baar prem ka mann dol raha thha. Kisi tarah se ussne apne upar kaboo kiya hua thha. Kuch samay ke liye nidhi ka khayal usske mann se poori tarah nikal chukka thha. “waise aapki mornings itni busy kyun hoti hain” jab patti puri tarah se ho gayi to ussne poocha
“bas aise hi. Thodi yoga, fir kaam. Subah se hi patients ki bheed umadni shuru ho jaati hai.” Ussne ek lambi saas lete hue kaha
“arrey itna dukhi kyun hoti ho.. yeh to puny aka kaam hai”
“par main doctor punya kamaane ke liye nahi bani thhi. Paisa bhi to koi cheez hoti hai.”
“arrey aap to senti ho gayi. Main to mazaak kar raha thha. Waise kaun kaun rehta hai aapke saath”
“umar mein aap mujhse bade lagte ho, mujhe aap mat kaho..”
“chalo dono ek doosre ko aap nahin kahenge. To yeh batao tumhaare saath aur kaun kaun rehta hai”
“filhaal to koi nahin. Ek boyfriend thha jiski death ho gayi. Tabse bas akeli hi rehti hoon pingu ke saath.. waise tumhaari ungali kaisi hai..”
“arrey itne pyaar se apne saaf kari hai to buri kaise ho sakti hai..”
“flirt karne ki koshish mat karo. I m already getting late. Ab mujhe bhi kaam pe jaana hai. Tum bhi kaam pe chalo”
“kaam hi to kar raha hoon yahan” prem ne socha aur khade ho kar ruhi ko thanks keh kar nikal gaya.
Doosri ore vikas abhi tak uss aadmi mein hi uljha hua thha. “naam kya hai tumhaara”
“kevin.. main bhi ek doctor thha…”
“to suno kevin babu. Abhi to mere paas karne aur sochne ke liye bahut kaam hai. Abhi main tumhaari koi madat nahi kar sakta. Par samay milte hi karunga zarur. Yeh mera vaada hai” usne aisa kaha aur nirash hue kevin ko chhod kar apne ghar ki taraf badh gaya. Prem wahan pehle se hi maujood thha. “abbey teri ungali ko kya hua… galat insaan ko ungali kar di thhi kya ??” haste hue vikas ne bola.
“abe nahin.. tere dost pingu ne kaat khaaya. Lekin issi bahaane ruhi se thodi dosti ho gayi. Tu bata.. kya pata chala?”
Vikas ne ek hi saans mein saara kissa keh sunaya uss jewellery shop ka. “mujhe lagta nahi hai ke kisi bhi tarah se yeh chori karna mumkin hoga. Main to kehta hoon ke apna boriya bistaraa baandho aur nikal chalo yahan se.”
“yaar tu haar badi jaldi maan jaata hai. Mujhe lagta hai ke kuch to possible hoga hi. Ek baat bata… wo jo desks pad thhi hare k cabin mein, wo kaisi thhi” aise kar ke prem ne kayi aur sawaal kiye taaki wo uss dukaan ko achchi tarah se samajh paye. Jab wo santusht ho gaya to bola “lagta to possible hai. Lekin thodi madat ki zarurat padegi humein. Abhi sabse zyaada badi problem uss camera ki hai. Agar kisi tarah se wo disconnect ho jaye to thoda kaam ban jayega. Aur doosri problem hai ke humein shayad madat ki zarurat bhi padegi. “
“Rahul se madat maang sakte hain” vikas bola
“aur kyun karega wo teri madat? Pehle kam jhamelon mein phasa hai wo. Lagta hai mujhe hi kuch karna padega”
“kya karega tu ?”
“meri nazar mein ek hai jissko paison ki zarurat hai. Shayad wo yeh kaam karne ko tayyaar ho jaye. Bas thoda sa jhooth bolna padega. Lekin lagta hai ke main sambhaal lunga. Waise bhi 5 din ka time diya hai ismail ne. tab tak to angoothi humaare kabze mein hi hogi”
"sapna sapna sapna... tumhein har cheez sapna hi kyun lagti hai vikas." uske kaano mein prem ki awaaz padi
"keh do prem.. keh do yeh sab mazaak hai...."
"nahin vikas. yeh mazaak nahi hai. yeh sab kuch tumne hi apne upar daala hai. main tumhein samjhaata raha ke sudhar jao magar tum nahi maane. nahin dekh sakta main kisi ko apni zindagi aise barbaad karte hue, khaas kar ke jab main uss zindagi ke liye mara jaa raha hoon. tumhein to koi farak padega nahi. tumhaare jeene ka to koi maksad pehle bhi nahi thha. bas tum maut ki hi aasha kar rahe thhe. jo tumhein chahiye thha wo tumhein mil gaya hai. saddo ab wahan." gussa prem ki aankhon mein saaf jhalak raha tha. "kitni achcha lagta hai zinda hona. koi dard nahi. koi samasya nahi.. mujhe to abhi se mazaa aane laga hai"
"yaar prem tu aisa kaise kar sakte hai.. maine tujhpe vishwas kiya aur tujhe apne saath rehne ke liye bola aur tune yeh kar diya" niraash hote hue vikas ne bola.
"surprise surprise... main jhooth bol raha thha. tumhaare shareer ko kaabu mein karne ke liye mujhe kayi papad belne pade hain. ab to main issko nahi chhodne waala"
"saale yeh silaa de raha hai tu meri dosti ka? maine kya kuch nahi kiya tere liye..."
"jhooth. tumne mere liye kuch nahi kiya. tumne sab kuch apne liye hi kiya. tum nidhi ko pehle se chahte thhe. tumne mera sirf faayda uthaane ki koshish kari taaki tum usske aur kareeb aa sako. aise mat dekho mujhe.. sab pata chal gaya thha mujhe isliye main tab tumhaare paas se gaya thha. tumne ek aatma ka faayda uthaane ki koshish kari thhi vikas. tumhein sharam aani chahiye... lekin nahi.. tum to ulta mujh ko hi kos rahe thhe. ab tadpo aur mehsoos karo wo torture jo main har pal har lamha mehsoos karta aaya hun itne dinon se. dekho ke jab tumhein manzil dikhti hai lekin tum manzil tak pahunchne ki soch bhi nahi sakte to kaisa lagta hai. mehsoos karo uss tadap ko jo tumhein logon ko zinda dekh kar hoti hai aur socho ke kaash tumne apni zindagi barbaad na kari hoti. ab sirf tumhaare sochne ke hi din baaki hai vikas. ab jo karunga, wo main hi karunga."
"tum kuch bhi bol lo prem par apne aap ko justify nahi kar sakte. sach to yeh hai ke tumne apni zindagi barbaad kari. tumhaare karmon ki wajah se tumpar yeh sab problems aayi. Fir bhi tumhaari kismat achchi thhi ke maine tumhaari madat karne ki koshish kari. Ab tumhaari biwi chalu nikali to ismein meri kya galti hai. Kyun tum mujhe sazaa de rahe ho kyunki main tumhaari kari hui galtiyan nahi sudhar paaya? Sach to yeh hai ke tum abhi tak yahan fase hue ho kyunki asal mein aaj bhi tum vahi prem ho jo marne se pehle thhe. Tumhaare dil mein asal mein koi dukh nahi hai apne karmon ka. Aaj bhi agar tum zinda hote to tum waise hi apni biwi ko dhokha de rahe hote. Yeh saara dukhi hona aur mere saamne gidgidaana sirf ek bahana thha tumhaara apni mukti paane ka. Ab jab tumhein aur kuch nahi mila to tumne mujhe behla kar meri zindagi le li... kahan ka insaaf hai ye”
“bhashan bade dene aa gaye tujhe... ab yeh baatein sochta reh aur peet-ta reh apna maatha deewaron se. Saddta reh uss duniya mein. Main yahan teri duniya mein aish karunga. Jo zindagi tune puri tarah se barbaad kar di thhi, main fir se theek karunga. Tera koi bhala ho na ho, main to apna aaram se rahunga. “ prem ka itna kehna hi thha ke vikas gusse mein bokhla gaya. Wo koshish karne laga ke koi cheez utha ke prem ko maare lekin uske haath har cheez ke through ho jaate thhe. Ant mein thak haar ke wo ek kone mein baith gaya aur rone laga. Itna ashay usne khud ko aaj tak mehsoos nahi kiya thha. Ussko kuch samajh nahi aa raha thha ke wo kya kare aur kahan jaye. Apni yeh problem bataye bhi to kissko bataye. “rone se kuch nahi hoga vikas. Mere khayal se tumhein ab mere aas paas hi rehna chahiye. Kya pata kisi din mera dil badal jaye aur main tumhein tumhaara shareer waapas kar doon. “ prem haste hue bola.
Ab vikas sochne laga. Usske paas sach mein do upaye thhe. Ya to wo prem ke saath saath rehta aur umeed karta ke prem ka dil badal jaye ya wo yahan se chala jaata uss gyaan ki khoj mein jo ussko apna shareer waapas hathyaane mein madat karega. Wo soch nahi paa raha thha ke wo kya kare.
Hairan aur pareshan vikas wahin ek kone mein khada raha jabki prem uske shareer mein ghus ke aaram se so raha thha. jaise jaise vikas usko dekhta jaata, uska gussa aur bhi badhta jaata. wo na sirf prem pe gussa thha par khud pe bhi thha. kitni aasani se ussne kuch hi dinon mein doosri baar apni zindagi barbaad kar di thhi. ab usko sach mein lagne laga thha ke yeh uski sazaa hi hai apni zindagi ki sahi value na samajhne ki. Wo bilkul hi hataash ho gaya thha. usko yeh to pakka thha ke prem itni aasani se uska shareer usse waapas nahi karne waala. wo bhi agar prem ki jagah hota to shareer kabhi bhi waapas na karta. to matlab yeh shareer usko cheen na hi padega. lekin kaise... prem itna to murakh nahi thha ke sab kuch pata hone par bhi uski baaton mein aa jaye.
aisa sochte hue wo ghoom hi raha thha ki prem utth gaya. vikas ne socha ke chalo ek baar waapas se usske saamne gidgida liya jaaye. jaise hi prem ki aankhein khuli to ussne vikas ko apne upar ghurta paaya...
"kya hua..." prem ne poocha
"shareer chori ho gaya mera. chor bhi saamne hai.. par kuch kar nahi paa raha hoon.. aur kya hoga...."
"ab kitne din issi baat ko rota rahega vikas... ab tujhe samajh aaya ke meri kya tadap hoti thhi... aur tu pura wat mera mazaak udaata rehta thha..."
"abe teri tadap teri maut ke karan thhi... kisi ne tere vishwas ka galat fayda uthaa ke tera jism nahi istemaal karna shuru kar diya thha..."
"tu to aise bol raha hai jaise tera rape kar diya maine..."
"rape hi to kar diya hai... usse bhi bura haal hai mera... rape hota to kuch din tak pichwada dukhta aur fir theek ho jaata.. abhi to samajh nahi aa raha hai ke yeh naatak kitne din tak chalega... kabhi band bhi hoga ya main yun hi Mr. India bana rahunga...."
"der saver tujhe tera shareer waapas mil hi jayega... prakriti ke niyam ka ulanghan zyaada din tak nahi ho sakta.. par main puri koshish karunga ke tu har pal tadpe aur wo dard samjhe jo mujh jaisi aatmayein jhelti hain... tujhe seekhna padega ke yeh jeevan tu itni aasani se waste nahi kar sakta..."
"mujhe seekh mil gayi hai mere bhai. mujhe pata chal gaya hai ke maine bahut galat kaam kiye hain... ab mera shareer waapas kar de..."
"ab yeh tera nahin, mera shareer hai.. jab mujhe lagega ke tu issko appreciate karne layak ho chuka hai.. tabhi isse waapas karunga... zyaada nautanki mat kar ab... jitna tu yahan randi rona royega, utni hi der mein mujhe iss hospital se chutti milegi. sahi yeh hi hoga ke tu chup chap rahe taaki mere dimag pe zor na pade aur doctors jaldi se discharge kar dein mujhe"
"yaar tu ek hafte mein kitna badal gaya hai... jo prem humesha pyaar se baat karta thha, wo aaj mere saath kaisi gandi gandi baatein kar raha hai..."
"main nahi badla vikas.. samay badal gaya hai.. ab tu meri boli bol raha hai aur main teri... chal chup kar ke wahan jaa ke khada ho jaa... doctors aate hi honge checkup ke liye..." prem ne bola to vikas ek school mein teacher dwaara punish kiye gaye bachche ki tarah kandhe jhukaye ek kone mein jaa ke khada ho gaya...
kuch hi samay mein usne dekha ke ek doctor aaya aur prem se baatein karne lag gaya. wo uske thoda paas hua taaki saari baatein sun le...
"humein sach mein nahin pata ke tumhaare saath kya hua thha. tumhaare shareer ka har ang ab bilkul sahi kaam kar raha hai.. jo bhi problem thhi, wo theek ho gayi hai.. humne tumhein thodi der observation mein bhi rakha thha par tumhaare andar koi bhi problem nahi hai..." doctor bola
"to kya main bilkul theek hoon..." prem ne poocha
"lagta to aisa hi hai... bas umeed karte hain ke kuch waapas na ho jaye.. lekin tumhein yahan rakhne ka mujhe koi tuk nahin dikhta.. bas itna kehna chahta hoon ke agar kabhi bhi thodi si bhi pareshani ho, to fauran yahan waapas aa jaana. main tumhaare discharge paper sign kar deta hoon. ghante bhar ke andar tum jaa sakte ho..."
Doctor ka itna kehna hi thha ke prem khushi se phoola nahi samaya... ussko bas iss baat ka intezaar thha ke kab wo yahan se nikle aur bahar ki hawa ko apne upar mehsoos kare.. muddat ho gayi thi jeene ka ehsaas liye usse. jald hi saari formalities poori ho gayi aur prem bahar nikalne ke liye tayyaar ho gaya... vikas bhi usske peehce peehce kandhe latkaye chale jaa raha thha. wo nikal hi rahe thhe ke prem ki takkar ek doctor se ho gayi...
"tum".. wo gusse mein aag baboola hote hue boli
"haan main..." prem bola aur apne mann me vikas se bola .. "kaun hai re yeh..."
"arrey wo isske kutte se jhagda ho gaya thha ek din park mein.." vikas bola..
"kutte se jhagda?? saale insaan kam pad gaye thhe kya jo ab kutton se ladne laga... aadmi hai ya pajama..."
"yaar pata nahi kyun uss din mujhe bhonke jaa raha thha.. mera dimag pehle hi kharam thha to maine bhi dhamka diya..." vikas bola...
"waise uss din ke liye sorry hai... mujhe aapke kutte ke saath aisa salook nahi karna chahiye thha. " prem bola
"pingu..." wo saamne se boli...
"kiski goo..."
"saale uske kutte ka naam pingu hai..." vikas bola
"ohh achcha achcha pingu.. haan pingu ko meri taraf se sorry keh dena.. keh dena vikas uncle sorry bol rahe thhe aur kal uske liye dog biscuit laayenge bina zeher waale.."
"khabardaar jo mere pingu ko kuch dene ki koshish kari to..."
"arrey kabhi nahi... humaari kya matti maari gayi hai jo itni sundar madam ke pingu ko maarenge aur unse humeshaa ke liye dushmani kar lenge.. aise thode na chalta hai... waise mera naam vikas hai..." prem ne apna haath aage karte hue bola
"hi.. i am ruhi..." usne haath milaate hue bola...
"aap yahan kisi ko le kar aayi hain ya apna ilaaj karwane aayi hain?"
"i am a doctor here... and i am getting late" kehte hue ruhi wahan se chali gayi..
"dekha tune.. seekh kuch... aise karte hain ladki ko impress. tune neha se hi bolne mein hi itni mehnat kari thhi jaise panipat ki jang jeet li ho..." prem ne kaha aur hospital ka darwaza khol ke bahar nikal gaya vikas ke saath
Kitnon samay se prem ne iss taazi hawa ko mehsoos nahi kiya thha. aaj wo chahta thha ke bas apna poora shareer issi hawa se bhar le. yeh hawa, yeh bhini bhini khusbuen, yeh suhaana mausam - yehi sab to thha jisse paane ke liye wo itna desperate ho gaya thha ke vikas ka shareer cheen ne ko tayaar ho gaya thha. iss shareer mein bitaya ek ek pal ab usse kisi anmol ratan jaisa lag raha thha. ussko itni khushi ho rahi thhi ke uski aankhein bhar aayi
"yeh dekho... haramkhor... rona mujhe chahiye aur tu aansoo baha raha hai.. itna hi dukh hai to waapas kyun nahi chala jaata jahan se aaya hai... nautanki saala"
"tum nahi samjhoge vikas. kabhi kisi cheez ke liye til til ke tadpo aur fir tumhein mil jaye to aisa hi hota hai."
"abe dhyaan se" kareen se guzarti car ko dekhkar vikas bola. "ab tu aatma nahi raha... mere shareer ko kuch nuksaan mat pahunchaana". vikas ko bhi bahut hi ajeeb lag raha thha. usske liye yeh din utna ujaale se bhara nahi thha jitna prem ke liye thha. chaaron aur jaise saanjh ka sa mausam thha aur bahut hi zyaada bheed thhi. "aaj din mein hi itni kam roshni kaise ho gayi.." wo bola
"roshni kam nahi hui hai vikas. yahan hospital ke aas paas bahut si roohein bhatak rahi hain. har ek rooh apne peeche koi na koi chaap chhod jaati hai. yehi karan hai ke tumhein wo jagah thodi dull lag rahi hai. aage jaa kar sab theek ho jayega." prem bola aur sachmuch uske kahe anusar thode hi samay mein din ek dum 100 watt ke bulb jaisa chamakdar ho gaya. "apna address bata..." prem ne ek taxi rokte hue bola aur vikas ke bataye address pe chalne ke liye bola. vikas bhi taxi mein ghus gaya.
jab wo ghar mein pahunche to ghar ka darwaaza khula hua thha.
"arrey tu darwaaza band karna bhool gaya thha kya..." prem ne vikas se poocha...
"pata nahin... jahan tak mujhe yaad hai maine to band kiya thha..." vikas kuch sochte hue bola.
"tu aur teri yaddasht.." prem bola aur andar ghus gaya room ke...
"aaiye vikas ji.. aapka intezaar ho raha thha...." prem ke andar ghuste hi usse awaaz aayi... saamne do gunde jaise dikhne waale log baithe thhe....
"kaun ho tum..."
"abe saale... mujhe bhool gaya... ismail bhai ko bhool gaya tu.... munna.. meri bandook dena to zara... tujhe bola thha naa saale ke police mujhe zyaada din bandh nah irakh sakti... aur tu mujhse bhaag ke yahan aa gaya... lagta hai tujhe ismail bhai ki power ka andaaza nahi hai"
"kaun ismail bhai.. kaun ho tum..."
"saale natak band kar.. gaand mein pistol ghusa dunga.. munna meri pistol de to" wo peeche khade munna se bola aur apni pistol haath mein le li... "haan ab bol... yaad aaya ke dabaoon ghoda...."
"yehi hai wo jo tumhaare udhaar liye paise waapas lene aaya thha nidhi ke yahan aur mujhe dharr liya thha. tumhaare baap ne bhi issi ko apne bank account ke looteron ko dhoondhne ka kaam saunpa hai...." vikas prem se bola
"yaad aa gaya .. yaad aa gaya... kaise hain aap..." prem haath jod ke bola...
"abe baraat ka swaagat kar raha hai kya.... chal nikal 1 crore rupaye..."
"1 crore rupaye kaun se.." prem ne hairaane se poocha...
"abe bachpan mein maths nahi padha thha kya... 50 lakh jo teri chammak challo ko mujhe chukaane thhe aur 50 laakh jo tune shekhar shekhawat ke bank account se churaaye thhe... ab time khoti mat kar.. jaldi se paisa nikal de.. mere paas aur bhi bahut kaam hai" ismail gusse mein bola...
"ah...ah.. wo paisa to mere paas nahi hai...." prem bola...
"tere paas nahi hai... to kahan gaya wo paisa ??? mazaak ke mood mein nahi hoon main... chal jahan pe chupaya hai paisa wahan se nikal..." ab ismail ko gussa chadhne laga thha.
"main sach kehta hoon ismail ji... mere paas ek phooti kaudi bhi nahi hai... kahan se laaun itna paisa... maine koi bank account nahi loota..." prem gidgidaate hue bola...
"aye munna.. samjha isse... yeh mere dimag ka dahin kar raha hai... shayad yeh bhool gaya hai ke main kaun hoon" usska yeh kehna hi thha ke munna jaldi se aage hua aur bola
"kyun natak kar raha hai... paisa de de... tu jaanta nahin hai ismail bhai ko.. jo tujhe yahan tak dhoondh sakta hai, wo pal mein hi yahan tujhe maar bhi sakta hai.. kyun apni jaan se haath dhona chahta hai tu... tera handsome thobda clear dikh raha thha bank ke camere mein..." usne vikas ko samjhaate hue bola
"dekhiye bhai sahab... mere paas koi paisa nahin hai... yeh baat sach hai ke maine bank se paisa churaya thha. par yeh baat bhi sach hai ke wo paisa maine nidhi ko dene ke liye churaaya thha...."
"to shaane mangaa na nidhi se wo paisa... aur kahan hai wo chammak challo... usne bhi bahut tadpaya hai mujhe... usse bhi hisaab poora karna hai mujhe..." ismail garjaa
"wo paisa le kar bhaag gayi hai..." prem dheere se bola...
"abe meri shakkal pe kya chutiyon ka sardar likha hai?? saale itni boori tarah gaand marunga ke duniya samajh bhi nahi payegi ke tere saath kya hua... paisa la ke de abhi ke abhi.. " ismail khada hua aur prem ke sar par bandook rakh ke bola
"kyun ek baat ke peeche pad gaye ho... maine bola na ke paisa nahin hai to nahin hai.. hota to tumhein de deta.. meri jaan se pyaara thode hai wo paisa mujhe.. mujhe ullu bana ke saara paisa le kar bhaag gayi hai nidhi. main utna hi kangaal hoon jitna pehle hota thha. kaisa samjhaun yeh main tumhein...."
ismail ek nakli hassi haste hue bola, "abe chutiye... tu kya samajhta hai ke main teri baat maan lunga... jo aadmi itni aaram se desh ke sabse surakshit bank se paise nikal ke dafaa ho gaya, wo ek kal ki chokri se chutiya katwaa baitha... yeh baat mujhe to kya, kisi ko bhi hazam nahi hogi..."
"hazam ho ya na ho, yehi sach hai... bandook mere sar par hai.. main jhoot kyun bolunga..."
"kyun bolega yeh to nahi pata.. bol raha hai, yeh pata hai... 24 ghante ka samay deta hoon tujhe... ya to tu mujhe wo ladki laa ke de jiske paas tu kehta hai ke saara paisa hai, nahin to saara paisa laa ke de. jo bhi ho, theek 24 ghante ke baad agar paisa mere paas nahi hua, to samajh liyo ki teri jaan gayi... itna tadpa tadpa ke maarunga ke saari kaaynaat kaanp uthegi tera hashra dekh kar..." bahut hi zyaada gusse mein ismail bola... "abe o munna.. tu apni baap ki baraat mein aaya hai kya jo kone mein khada maze le raha hai.. chal.. aur bhi bahut kaam hai apan ko.." ismail munna ko bola aur wo dono saath mein chale gaye kamre se bahar.
"ab kahan phas gaya main.. saale vikas..." 10 minute shaant rehne ke baad prem bola...
"mujhe mat kos prem.. tera hi kiya dhara hai... tere hi karan hua hai sab. aaj tak tere bure karmon ke karan koi na koi bhugat raha thha... aaj aaya hai ooth pahaad ke neeche" vikas ne thahaka lagate hue kaha... "tu poora wat bolta rehta hai ke main teri condition samjhoon, tera dard mehsoon karun.... ab tu mera dard mehsoos kar... dekh kitne papad bilwaye thhe tune mujhse... aur dekh kya kya jhelna pada thha mujhe..."
prem apna sar apne dono haathon se pakkad ke baith gaya. uske dimag mein kuch nahi aa raha thha ke ab kya kare. 1 crore ko chhoti rakam to thhi nahin jo aaram se mil jaati. 24 ghante mein to itna paisa laana namumkin hi thha. ussko ek hi tareeka dikh raha thha ke kisi tarah nidhi ko dhoondha jaye aur usska pata hi ismail ko de diya jaye.. lekin itni badi duniya mein wo nidhi ko dhoondhega kaise?? wo bhi 24 ghante mein... samay dheere dheere khatam hota jaa raha thha aur iss janjaal se nikalne ka usse koi upaay nahi dikh raha thha.
"bhai mujhe to koi upaay nahi dikh raha hai... tu hi apni akkal lada..." kaafi der tak jaddojehad karne ke baad prem ne vikas ko bola
"main kya google hoon jo ek crore ka idea de dunga... tune fansaya hai iss janjaal mein, tu hi nikaal.. mujhse nahi hota yeh sab..."
"arrey saath mil kar sochenge to zarur kuch hoga... tu bas wahan khade hue mujhe hi ghoor raha hai..."
"dekh raha hoon main ke teri halat kitni kharab ho chuki hai... ab pata chala tujhe meri condition ka... tere liye bahut mamooli cheez thhi meri madat.. lekin tune meri zindagi ko ek public mootralaya bana diya... koi bhi aa ke moot ke jaata raha.. ab bhugat.. main ab aaram karta hoon..." kehta hua vikas nakli hansi hasne laga
"aaram karta hoon se tera kya matlab hai? shareer to tera hi hai na... usne maar bhi diya to mujhe to thhoda sa dard hi hoga.. lekin tera waapas na aana to confirm ho jayega... chal ab madat kar..." prem ki baat mein point to thha. so dono baith kar apna dimag ladane lage
"nidhi ko kaise dhoondha jaye...." thodi der baad vikas bola...
"impossible hai usko dhoondhna.. wo iss bhari duniya mein kahi bhi ho sakti hai... kahan kahan dhoondhenga..."
"dekh tune bhi to mujhe dhoondh liya thha na.. ho sakta hai ke tu nidhi ko bhi dhoondh paye... koshish to kar..."
"teri maari kahani doosri hai vikas... main tere saath bandha gaya hoon... teri har ek soch, har ek harkat ka mujhe pata rehta hai... baakiyon ke saath aisa nahin hai... tere paas paise nahin hai kya?"
"mujhe dekh kar lagta hai ke main crorepati hoon?? itna paisa hota to aise idhar udhar bhaag nahi raha hota.... hmm.. Rahul... uski madat le sakte hain... shayad uske paas kuch ho..."
"uski property girwi padi hai... wo kyun madat karega ab teri? nidhi uske bhi to paise le kar udd gayi thhi.... aur koi dost nahi hai tera??"
"nahin.. aur to koi nahin hai..."
"bank se loan le lete hain..."
"bahut achche... jaake unko kehte hain ke gale mein kharash ho gayi hai.. ek crore chahiye aur wo 2 minute mein paisa muh pe maarenge na.... meri naukari ki pagar itni nahi hai ke 40 saal mein bhi ek crore kama paaoon.. aur tu loan ki baat karta hai.... meri kayi generations ko bank ka bandhua mazdoor ban ke rehna padega... thodi to akkal laga yaar.. kuch achcha soch..." ab vikas ko bhi darr lagne laga thha.
"aisa karte hain .. alag alag reh kar sochte hain... tu thoda ghar ke bahar ghoom aur main yahan reh kar sochta hoon... fir milte hain aur decide karte hain"
"main kyun bahar jaun?? tu bahar jaa na..."
"tera shareer aaj hi hospital se nikla hai.. main issko aur exert kar ke issko nuksaan nahi pahunchaana chahta... " prem haste hue bola...
"bahut kameena hai re tu... theek hain.. main hi thoda ghoom ke aata hoon" vikas ne kaha aur nikal pada room se bahar.
Wo bahar bas chalta jaa raha thha aur kuch sochne ki koshish kar raha thha. koi idea uske dimag mein nahi aa raha thha ke tabhi uski takkar ek ladki se ho gayi. ladki neeche gir gayi.
"abe dekh ke nahi chala jaata kya... aankhon ki jagah button fit kar diye hain kya..." wo bina mude bola aur chalta raha...kuch hi palon mein usko apni gardan par pressure mehsoos hua jaise koi usse daba raha ho..
"koun ho tum... tum yahan ke nahi ho... kya lene aaye ho iss duniya mein..."
"arrey gala chhod.. maarne ka iraada hai kya... theek hai marr nahi sakta par dard to hota hai na..." vikas zor se chillaya... uss ladki ki awaaz badi hi ajeeb si thhi.. aisa lag raha thha jaise tez hawa mein koi bolne ki koshish kar raha ho
"kaise dekh sakte ho tum mujhe?? kaun ho tum aur yahan kyun aaye ho.. jaldi batao..." wo waapas boli. par iss baar usne apna haath vikas ke gale se door kar diya...
"ji main ek kismat ka maara hoon. jisse pyaar kiya, usne dil toda aur jissko dost samajh ke uski madat karni ko koshish kari, usne yahan pahuncha diya... main iss duniya ka sabse abhaga insaan hoon... aaj tak mere liye kuch sahi nahi hua.. aisa lagta hai ke mera dharti pe aana bhi ek galti thhi" vikas jaldi jaldi bola...
"kya badbadaa rahe ho..."
"meri kahani kuch iss prakar hai..." kehte hue vikas ne apni saari kahani uss ladki ko suna di.. pata nahi kyun... usko yeh karne se thoda sukoon mil raha thha. apne bachpan ki kahani to wo nidhi ko bhi bata chuka thha par aage ki kahani kisi aur ko batane se jo sukoon usko mil raha thha, usse usske kaleje pe thodi thandak pahunch rahi thhi.
"yeh to bahut dardnaak kahani hai... sach mein tumhaare saath bahut bura hua hai.. main tumhein dekhte hi samajh gayi thhi ke tum alag ho.. waise main tumhaara shareer tumhein waapas dilaane mein tumhaari madat kar sakti hoon. par tumhein uske badle mera ek kaam karna hoga..."
"kya kaam...."
"wo main tumhein waqt aane par bata dungi... "
"ajeeb hadh hai.. har kisi ko mere se kuch na kuch kaam nikalwana hai... main kya yahan koi kaam nikalwane ki machine hoon... "
"tumhein apna shareer waapas chahiye ke nahi?"
"chahiye..."
"to for tumhein mera kaam karna hi padega..."
"theek hai.. lekin pehle mera shareer waapas milna chahiye..."
"theek hai.. chalo tumhaara shareer waapas lete hain" uss ladki ne kaha aur vikas ke peeche peeche chal padi. excitement mein vikas jaldi jaldi chale jaa raha thha. usne dekha nahi ke uss ladki ke chehre par ek ajeeb si muskaan thhi.
"bhai mujhe to koi upaay nahi dikh raha hai... tu hi apni akkal lada..." kaafi der tak jaddojehad karne ke baad prem ne vikas ko bola
"main kya google hoon jo ek crore ka idea de dunga... tune fansaya hai iss janjaal mein, tu hi nikaal.. mujhse nahi hota yeh sab..."
"arrey saath mil kar sochenge to zarur kuch hoga... tu bas wahan khade hue mujhe hi ghoor raha hai..."

"theek hai.. chalo tumhaara shareer waapas lete hain" uss ladki ne kaha aur vikas ke peeche peeche chal padi. excitement mein vikas jaldi jaldi chale jaa raha thha. usne dekha nahi ke uss ladki ke chehre par ek ajeeb si muskaan thhi.
"kitna door hai tumhaara ghar" uss ladki ne poocha
"tumhaara naam kya hai" jawaab dene ki bajaye vikas ne saamne se ek aur prashan kiya.
"nisha."
"kaise mari thhi tum?"
"accident ho gaya thha..."
"yaar yeh accident bade hote hain is duniya mein... aur kuch ho na ho, mera jeena haraam kar rakha hai in accidenton ne."
"kab tak pahunchenge hum?"
"pahunch jayenge jab pahunchna hoga... itni jaldi kya hai.. pehle yeh batao ke kaam kya karwaogi mujhse?? waapas mera ullu to nahin bana rahi?"
"kya tumhein lagta hai ke main tumhaara ullu banaungi vikas? meri tadapti aatma ko mushkil se koi madat karne ko tayyar hua hai aur tumhein lagta hai ke yeh mauka main haath se aise hi jaane dungi?" usne bholi surat bana ke aur apni baaton mein mithaas gholte hue vikas ko kaha. vikas ne ek nazar uski ore daudayi aur bola:
"hmmm... dekhne se to nahi lagta ke tum murakh bana sakti ho, lekin tumhein mujhe ek waada karna hoga..."
"kaisa vaada" nisha boli
"tumhein waada karna hoga ke meri madat karne ke badle mein tum mera shareer nahi maangogi...."
"arrey yeh bhi koi baat hui.. main keh to rahi hoon ke aisa kuch nahi karungi..."
"to fir karo waada...." vikas ko thoda thoda shakk hona shuru ho gaya thha ke yeh nisha ki rooh uska faayda to nahi uthaane waali
"vikaas bachkaani baatein mat karo aur chalo tumhaare ghar... main tumhaari madat karne ki koshish kar rahi hoon aur tum ho ke...." thoda chidti hui nisha boli
"tum pehle waada karo. hum fir hi aage badhenge. nahin to main tumhaara koi bhi kaha nahi maan-ne waala" vikas ne ruk kar kaha. "agar tumhaare mann mein khott nahi hai to kyun tum meri baat maan nahi rahi"
"theek hai vikas. main vaada karti hoon ke tumhaari madat karne ke badle mein main tumhaara sharir nahin mangoongi.. chalein ab" vikas ki aankhon mein dekhti hui wo boli
"haan chalo. yeh saamne waali building mein mera ghar hai. aa jao." vikas nisha ko le kar chalne laga. mann hi mann wo bahut khush ho raha thha ke apni chaturai se dhokha khaane se bach gaya. jab wo dono ghar mein ghuse to prem ghode bech ke soya hua thha. vikas ko gussa to bada aaya ke itni tension ke samay mein prem so raha hai lekin wo kuch bola nahin. bolta bhi kaise, jism waapas paane ki khushi ne sach mein uske shabdon pe lagaam laga di thhi. "ab kya karna hai" usne nisha se poocha.
"shhhh.. dheere bolo.. wo jaag gaya to pareshani hogi" nisha dabi hui awaaz mein boli. "tumhaare paas prem ki koi cheez hai?"
"yaar ajeeb gadhe ki poonch hai tu.. ab aatma ban ke kya main prem ki cheezein le kar ghoomunga? thodi to akkal laga" nervousness ne vikas ko gherna shuru kar diya thha. usse achanak se hi lagne laga thha ke uska shareer paana usske liye itna aasaan nahi hoga. wo bas nisha ki taraf ghoorta jaa raha thha aur dekh raha thha ke nisha kuch sochne ki koshish kar rahi hai..
"tum yahan khade raho. main shareer ke paas jaa kar khadi hoti hoon. thodi der mein main tumhein kuch mantra jaap bataungi. jaise jaise main kahun, tumhein usko sirf dohraana hai. thode hi samay mein wo aatma tumhaare shareer tyaag degi aur tum waapas ussko dharan kar paoge." ussne aisa kaha aur vikas ko hairani mein khada chhod kar wo bistar ke paas chali gayi. fir wo uss shareer ke chaaron aur kuch budbudaate hue haath pair chalane lagi. vikas ko kuch samajh nahi aa raha thha lekin fir bhi khada bas dekh raha thha. achanak se ussne vikas ki taraf muh kiya. "mere peeche peeche dohraana shuru karo" aur kuch bolne lagi. vikas ke samajh mein nahi aa raha thha ke wo kya bol rahi hai par wo andaaze se jitna sahi ho sakta thha, utni achchi tarah se usske shabd dohra raha thha. ussne abhi bolna shuru hi kiya thha ke usske shareer mein harkat hui.
prem aise uchalne laga jaise usske shareer ko current pad rahe ho. uski samajh mein kuch nai aa raha thha ke kya ho raha hai aur uske bhayankar dard ho raha thha. chaaron taraf dhua dhua sa lag raha thha. tabhi usse ehsaas hua ke vikas aas paas hi hai aur mantar jaap kar raha hai. "vikas.. kya kar raha hai yeh.. ruk jaa...yeh bewkoofi mat kar..."
"isski baat mat suno vikas. yeh darr gaya hai .. apni baaton mein aise hi uljhaane ki koshish kar raha hai". nisha ek pal ke liye mantar padhna bandh kari to prem ko jaise fir se thodi si shakti mil gayi.
"vikas kiss ke kehne par kar raha hai yeh... meri baat maan jaa... jo bhi hai wo tera shareer hathyaane ki koshish kar raha hai... itni aasani se tujhe tera shareer waapas nahi mil payega... aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" prem ke shareer mein fir se dard ki bahut tez sui-yan chubhne lag gayi thhi.
Vikas bina kuch soche samjhe nisha ke kahe shabd dohraye jaa raha thha. usne prem ki baaton pe zara dhyaan nahi diya. wo fatafat shabd bol raha thha ke ussko fir prem ki awaaz aayi "vikaas maan jaa meri baat. aisa karega to tu apne shareer se bilkul hi haath dho baithega. jo bhi tere saath hai, bahut hi powerful tantra ka sahara le raha hai. wo kabhi aasani se tera shareer nahi chodega. mujhpar vishwaas kar vikas. please mujhpar vishwaas kar."
ab iss cheez ne usko sach mein ek duvidha mein daal diya. aur wo chup ho gaya. "vikas .. chup kyun ho gaye... humaare paas time nahi hai... jaldi karo.." kehkar usne kuch shabd waapas dohraye. vikas samajh nahi paa raha thha ke uss aadmi ka yakeen kare jissko wo shayad thoda bahut jaanta thha aur jo usko dhokha de chuka thha ya uss ka jisko wo bilkul bhi nahi jaanta thha. ek pal ke liye ussne kuch socha aur decide kar liya ke kya karna hai....
"Jis ka pata hi thha ke dhokha de hi chuka hai, aur shayad waapas dega hi, uske upar bhala kyun vishwas kiya jaye. waise bhi nisha ne vaada kar to diya hai ke wo mera shareer nahi maangegi meri madat ke bina. to fir uski hi madat karunga. bhaad mein gaya prem, uske dhokhe, uski makkari aur usska jhooth" aisa vikas ne socha aur nirantar un mantron ka jaap karta raha. prem dard se tadap raha thha aur cheekhein maar raha thha.
prem ko dheere dheere uss shareer pe apni pakkad kamzor padti jaa rahi thhi. usko aisa lag raha thha jaise wo ek lohe ka tukda ho aur usse thodi dorr pe kisi bahut hi powerful magnet ko on kar diya ho. bina chahe hue bhi wo uss magnet ki taraf khincha jaa raha thha aur dard itna ho raha thha ke bas poocho na. usko dheeme dheem aisa lag raha thha jaise usska wajood halka ho raha hai aur chhat ki taraf badh raha hai. usko kuch samajh nahi aa raha thha ke wo kya kare. usko pakka yakin thha ke jo bhi vikas ki madat kar raha hai, wo iss shareer par kabu paa lega aur vikas fir se bharosa kar ke haath mein ghanta pakde reh jayega. ussne ek aakhri baar vikas se madat ki umeed lagayi aur apni poori jaan laga kar bola, "vikas tujhe nidhi ki kasam hai ruk jaa." aur iss baar uska teer sahi nishaane par laga aur vikas chup ho gaya.
Vikas ko khud nahi pata thha ke wo chup kyun ho gaya. uske kaan mein sirf nidhi shabd pade aur ek-a-ek uske honth apne aap ruk gaye. wo rukna nahi chahta thha, par ruk gaya. ab jab bhi wo muh kholta to usske muh se awaaz nahi nikalti. jo dimag abhi tak poori tarah se apne shareer ko waapas paane ke baare mein soch raha thha, wo ab bhatak gaya thha aur nidhi ke baare mein sochne lag gaya thha. uski hasi reh reh kar vikas ke kaanon mein padti. usski khushboo reh reh ke vikas ko mehsoos hoti. uski aankhon ke saamne jaise sirf aur sirf nidhi hi chaa rahi thhi. usska yeh bhram nisha ki awaaz se toota.
"chup mat ho vikas. humein humaara shareer waapas lena hai..." yeh baat sunkar pehli baar vikas ne nisha ko upar se neche tak gaur se dekha. sach much wo ek bahut hi sundar ladki thhi. jism ke har sahi jagah par sahi maas aur sahi ubhaar. usski shakal bhi usse jaani pehchaani si lag rahi thhi ab. kahin yeh.... haan... yeh shakal to nidhi se kaafi similar thhi. kahin yeh nidhi to nahi hai?? nahin nidhi nahi ho sakti, wo hoti to shakal poori tarah se same hoti. shayad yeh chudail ne usske mann ko padh kar hi aisa roop dharan kiya thha.
"humaara shareer nahi, mera shareer" vikas ne mantar padhne bilkul band kar diye thhe ab.
"haan haan.. jo bhi... mantar padhna shuru karo" wo thodi si khij ke boli
"jo bhi nahin. yeh mera shareer hai. humaara shareer nahi. aur yeh waisa hi rahega. tumhaara isske upar koi bhi hak na thha, na hai aur na hi hoga" ab vikas ko pehli baar lag raha thha ke wo jo kar raha hai, wo theek kar raha hai. isliye josh mein bhar kar hero jaise dialogue maar raha thha.
"haan haan. tera hi shareer rahega. ab mantar padhna shuru kar" vo aur jhalla ke boli
"abe mantron ki chachi.. sach sach bata ke tu hai kaun.." vikas usske paas badhta hua bola...
ab ussko bhi pata chal chuka thha ke usska natak pakda jaa chuka hai. kaise pakda gaya, yeh ussko nahi pata thha. lekin pakda gaya hai, itna pata chal chuka thha. shareer paane ke itne paas hokar bhi itni door hone ke karan usska gussa bhi charam seema par thha, par ussne bhi ek baar aur haar na maani. "meri baat kyun nahi sunte tum vikas. tumhein pata to hai main kaun hoon. fir mujhe kyun katra rahe ho... meri aankhon mein aankhein daal kar batao, kya tum mujhse abhi tak utna pyaar nahi karte jitna kabhi college mein kiya karte thhe ? kya abhi bhi tum mujhe paane ke liye nahi tadapte? kya tumhein nahi lagta ke agar tumhaari prem se mulaat na hui hoti aur tumhein pata chal jaata ke main tumhaare pados mein rehne aayi hoon to tum mujhe aur achchi tarah se impress kar paate? kya tumhein nahi lagta ke tumhaari zindagi prem ke bina hi achchi thhi? kya tumne kabhi nah isocha ke agar prem hi tumhaare raaste se hatt jaye to tum kuch bhi kar sakte ho?? to fir aaj jab prem ko hataane ka samay aa gaya hai to tum kis soch mein padd gaye ho? kyun nahi maante meri baat? kyun nahi prem naam ki iss bimari se peecha chuda lete" ab uss aatma ki shakkal ekdum nidhi jaisi ho gayi thhi. aur usski awaaz bhi bilkul nidhi se milne lag gayi thhi.
"band kar yeh faltu ka naatak. mujhe pata hai ke tu nidhi nahi hai. yeh faaltu ke hathkande karke tu kabhi bhi mera support nahi le payega. ek pal ke liye meri selfishness ne meri aankhein band kar di thhi. lekin ab main sab samajh chuka hoon. ab aa jaa tu apne asli roop mein" vikas ne yeh kaha aur dekha ke wo aatma ne ek aadmi ka roop dharan kar liya. gusse mein uski aankhein laal thhi.
"kyun .. aakhir kyun tune mujhe waapas tadapte rehne par majboor kar diya vikas" usne gusse mein kaha aur saamne pade vase ko uthaa kar vikas ki taraf phenk diya. ab vikas thha to ek aatma hi. wo vase usske andar se guzarta hua deewar se jaa takraya aur chhote chhote tukdon mein bikhar gaya. hairani se vikas ki aankhein phati ki phati reh gayi ke uss aatma ne kaise ek asli cheez ko utha liya. "zyaada mat soch vikas. pem ki aatma humaari duniya mein kaafi nayi hai issliye kaafi cheezein nahi jaanti. main jaanta hoon. aur tujhe sikha bhi sakta hoon. bas meri madat kar iss prem ko apne shareer se bahar nikalne mein.. kyun tujhe achanak se iss se itna lagaav ho gaya hai?"
"prem se lagaav achanak se nahi hua hai mujhe. chahe prem ne mere saath kuch bhi kiya ho, lekin usski koshish yehi thhi ke main ek achcha insaan bann jaaoon aur apni zindagi aise vyarth na jaane doon. jis raah par main chal raha thha, ussne mujhe uss raah se pehle ek baar alag kiya. jo nidhi ne humaare saath kiya usspe usska koi control nahi thha. shayad wo issliye hua thha taaki mujhe pata chal sake ki achcha insaan banne ki raah aasaan nahi hai. har kadam pe darjanon mushkilen hain. wo ek tarah se mera test thha jisko maine poori tarah se fail kar diya. achcha insaan bann ne ki seedhi pe chalte hue pehli thokar hi main bardaasht nahi kar paaya aur fir ussi talle par aa gaya jahan se nikal kar mujhe sukoon mil raha thha. shayad issi liye kismat ne mere saath yeh khel khela hai. mujhe pata nahin hai ke mera shareer mujhe kab milega, lekin milega zaroor, yeh pata hai. aur iss baar main waapas mili zindagi ko yun vyarth nahi jaane dunga. yeh mera apne aap se vaada hai" vikaas poore sankalp ke saath bola.
"tu chahe kitna bhi apne aap ko convince kar le vikas, lekin prem ek makkaar hai aur woh makaar hi rahega. jo apni biwi ko dhokha de sakta hai, wo kisi ko bhi dhokha de sakta hai. rona padega tujhe baad mein. fir baat karenge"
"dhokhe ki baat tu na hi kar to achcha hai. tu khud hi mera shareer hathyaane ke chakkar mein thha. bhala ho jo maine sahi samay par break maar di, nahin to main aur prem dono iss paar hote aur abhi tu maze loot raha hota"
ab prem ko bhi hosh aane lag gaya thha. "kisse itni gyaan ki baatein kar raha hai vikas... aur kiske kehne par tune fir thokar khaane ka iraada kar liya thha?" wo bola
"thhi ek ladki.. lekin ab wo ladka ho chuki hai. vikas tumhein chot pahunchaane ka iraada nahin thha. shayad tum meri stithi samajh sakte ho. lekin samay rehte main sambhal gaya. aur shukar hai iss baat ka."
"agar abhi bhi tum meri madat karo to main tumhein apna shareer waapas paane ka tareeka bata sakta hoon" wo aatma boli
"shareer ko waapas paane ka tareeka bata ke tu mujhe waapas nahi lalcha sakta." ab vikas ka bhi iraada pakka ho gaya thha
"lagta hai jab tak main tujhe yeh raaz nahi bataunga, to kisi na kisi ki baaton mein aakar aise ulte seedha kaam karta hi rahega vikas. isliye aaj main hi tujhe batata hoon ke tu apna shareer waapas kaise paa sakta hai. zyaada mushkil nahi hai. lekin mehnat ka kaam hai" prem bola aur ho gaya shuru vikas ko yeh raaz ki baat batana
"karma.. yeh ek aisi cheez hai jiss ko bahut kam logon ne matvapuran samjha hai. lekin yeh ek bahut hi important cheez hai. tumhaari after-life mein yeh bhale hi thhoda matva rakhe, par current zindagi mein bahut mahatva rakhta hai. jab tak tumhaara karma neutral ya positive hai, tumhaari zindagi aaram se chalti hai. jaise hi yeh negative hota hai, tumhaari zindagi mein adchane aana shuru ho jaati hain. yeh karma tumhaare shareer se nahi, tumhaari aatma se juda hota hai. kuch bahut hi kam log hote hian jinka karma ya to bahut positive hota hai ya bahut negative hota hai. in dono type ke logon ko waapas dharti pe janam de kar bheja jaata hai taaki positive karma waali aatma yahan pe rehne waale logon ka aur bhala kare aur negative karma waali aatma prayschit kare aur apna karma positive kare. agar in dono me se koi bhi situation ulti padti hai to uss aatma ko jaldi hi kheech liya jaata hai aur fir usska lekha jhokha hota hai aur decide hota hai ke usse narak mein faika jaaye ya swarag mein rakha jaye." prem bola
"to mujhe yeh sab kyun bata raha hai tu?? maine kaun sa yahan aatankwaad failaaya hai ya padosiyon ke bachche khaaye hain jo mujhe yeh din dekhne pad rahe hain" vikas ne bola
"karma sirf in sab karyon ko karne se hi nahin badhta/ghat ta vikas. har cheez jo tum karte ho, usske saath koi na koi karma juda hota hai. kisi zarooratmand ko roti dena, kisi ka ha maarna, apni zindagi ko vyaarth udaa dena, apne maa baap ka adar na karna - yeh sab wo chhoti chhoti baatein hai jinse humaara karma juda hota hai. agar baat tumhaari ho to tumhaara karma sach mein itna negative thha ke aaj nahi to kal tumhaara bulaava aa hi jaata aur tumhein narak ki aag mein saddna pad sakta thha. lekin har ek aadmi ke paas apna karma significantly sudhaarna/bigaadne ke kayi mauke aate hain. tumne wo mauka tab le liya thha jab tumne meri help karne ke liye haami bhari thhi. lekin jo humne chaaha wo ho nahi saka aur wo mauka tumhaare haath se gaya. ab tumne fir apni purani aadaton ko apna kar apna karma kam karna shuru kar diya. jab kisi aatma ka karma kam ho jaata hai, to aas paas ki bhatakti hui aatmayein usse target karne lag jaati hai kyunki wo jaanti hain ke usske shareer par se original aatma jald hi nikalne waali hai. shareer aur aatma ki isi kamzori ka faayda wo uthaana chahti hain aur kayi baar ismein saksham bhi ho jaati hain."
"tune jo kehna hai wo khul ke keh. yeh paheliyan mat boojha. tune batana thha mera shareer waapas kaise milega aur tu pata nahi yeh kya karma gyaan dene lag gaya..."
"seedhi baat yeh hai ke agar main tera shareer nahi leta to koi aur tera shareer le leta. jo bhi ho, 2-4 din mein tu to oopar pahunchne hi waala thha. tera shareer maine le kar tujhpar ek ehsaan kiya hai. main tera shareer aaram se surakshit rakhunga aur teri aatma ka karma tujhe badhaana hi hoga. jab tera karma waapas badh jayega aur tu waapas iss dharti pe rehne ke layak ho jayega, tab main tujhe tera shareer waapas kar dunga. yeh mera waada hai tujhse."
"Ab saala yeh karma kahan se laaun... koi fal hota to ped se tod kar khaa jaata. koi churaane waali cheez hoti to tujhe pareshan kar ke chori karwa leta... par yeh laoon kahan se..."
"mauke milte rahenge vikas. bas mauke ko pehchaan-ne ki koshish karna. agar tumne mujhse koi ulte seedhe tareeke se yeh shareer hathya bhi liya, to tum zyaada der tak iss duniya mein tik nahi paaoge. isliye jo kuch bhi karoge, thoda soch samajh ke karna. apna shareer waapas paana tumhaara lakshya nahi hona chahiye, iss dharti par iss shareer ke saath zyaada se zyaada samay bitaana tumhaara lakshya hona chahiye"
"Abe kitna gyaan dega be tu. chal ab itna bol hi diya hai to yeh bhi bata hi de ke kaise apne lakshya ko paoon"
"yeh tumhein hi sochna hai. aur waise bhi raat bahut ho gayi hai. ab main sone laga hoon. bahut thaka diya hai tumhaare unexpected surprise ne. kal ka din pata nahi kya le kar aayega. kaise yakeen dilayenge un logon ko ke hum kadke hain. aaj to aaram se sote hain.... waise ek baat poochun..."
"mujhe pata hai kya poochna hai tune aur usska jawaab hai nahin. uss aatma ne bilkul sahi kaha thha mera mann padh kar. main wohi sab sochta hoon tere baare mein. na to mujhe tere se koi hamdardi hai aur na hi chahat." vikas ne jaise prem ke kaleje par ek hathodi se vaar kar diya thha. "chal ab so jaa. main idhar udhar bhatak kar dekhta hoon kuch mil paye to"
*-*
Subah jab prem ki aankh khuli to vikas paas mein hi khada thha aur sofe par ismail bhai baitha thha. munna har baar ki tarah unke bagal mein khada thha.
"yeh kya natak laga rakha hai re tune... teri jaan pe bani hai aur tu ghode bech kar so raha hai ?? saala poore din ghar mein band reh kar hila raha thha kya kal? na ghar se bahar nikla aur na hi kisi ko call lagaya .... ya to saara paisa tere paas hai ya fir tujhe apni jaan ki chinta nahi hai re baba" kehkar wo hasne laga aur munna bhi unko hasta dekh hasne laga.
"ismail bhai. yakeen karo mera. mere paas na hi aapke paise hai aur na hi nidhi ka koi ata pata. main yahan hoon bhi ajnabi isliye kissi se paise udhaar nahi le sakta. ab aisi haalat mein bahar jaa kar tandav karne se to raha. ghar par baitha hi bahut der tak soch raha thha ke kya kiya jaye, lekin koi raasta nahi dikhta mere ko"
"main dikhata hoon raasta tere ko shaane. gaand se goli daalunga, raasta bana ke muh se bahar niklegi. ismail bhai ke saath shaanpaatti nahi karne ka. tu jaanta nahi hai ke main kitna danger aadmi hoon" fir munna ki taraf dekhte hue "munna meri pistol lekar aana to zara"
ab to prem ka dimag bhi ekdum sadd chuka thha. ek to itni subah, upar se fir se in logon ke saath maatha pachchi. "abe apni pistol paas mein kyun nahi rakhta tu? kya baar baar mangaata rehta hai? goli maarni hai to maar. maa kasam uff tak nahin karunga. lekin mujhe maar kar tere paise nahin milne waale. tera network strong hai, hum nidhi ko dhoondhte hain. paise waapas lete hain. mere sar chadh kar kyun tandav kar raha hai tu..."
"abe zabaan ko lagaam de. bandook mere haath mein hai. rob dikhaane ka haq sirf mere ko hai. tu darr. mujhse apni jaan ki bheekh maang. fir batata hoon main ke kaise tera chamda nikal kar, usske joote bana kar bechunga aur apna paisa vasool karunga" ismail ne gusse mein kaha.
"..aur itni jaldi kyun aa gaye?? 24 ghante ka samay diya thha na.... abhi bhi kaafi samay baaki hai"
"apnu time khoti nahi karta... pichle time mein tune ghanta kuch ukhaada hai jo ab 8 ghante mein tu 1 crore le aayega ?? saale koi paudha boya hai kya jisse paise niklenge?? mere paas ek offer hai, isliye jaldi aaya" ismail thoda serious ho kar bola
"to fir bolo na offer. kahe ko magajmaari karte ho" prem ne ismail ki hi bhasha mein bola
"aye.. meri duplicate nakal nahi nikalne ka.. gaand mein goli daal kar muh se bahar nikalunga. jaanta nahi hai tu abhi ismail bhai ko"
"nahin karunga mere baap. bas tu mujhe bata ke kya offer hai tere paas" haath jod kar prem ne vinti kari
"ab aaya na line par. dekh kuch bhi bol, jis tarah se tune uss bank mein se paisa nikaala thha, wo kabiletarif hai. aur kuch ho na ho, tu chor bahut achcha hai. jo chori tune pichli baar apne liye kari thhi, main chahta hoon wo tu iss baar mere liye kare..."
"kya bakwaas hai.. main koi bank wank nahi lootne waala. uss din main lucky thha. yahan ke bank waise nahin hain.."
"bank nahi re... ek heera lootna hai tujhe.. yaah kahen to heere ki angoothi. bahut hi nayaab hai. mere ek client ka dil usspar aaya hua hai lekin bahut mehengi hai. paisa to wo de sakta hai lekin jiss cheez ko chura sakte hain usske liye paisa kya dena. ussne mujhe bahut badi rakam dene ka waayda kiya hai agar main wo angoothi usse la kar dun to. tu wo angoothi chura aur mujhe laa kar de. baat khatam. tera account clear. tu apne raste, main apne raste. dono ajnabi. angoothi kaun si dukaan se churaani hai, yeh main bataunga. lekin mere jaise aadmi ka wahan ghusna khatre se khaali nahi hai. yeh kaam tujhe hi karna hoga.. kaise yeh mujhe nahi pata"
ab marta kya na karta. prem ne socha ke marna to aise bhi hai aur waise bhi, ek baar dekh hi lete hain ke yeh angoothi kahan hai aur churayi jaa sakti hai ke nahin, agar kaam safal hua to bach jayenge, nahin hua to america se bhaag jayega iss umeed ke saath ke shayad agle baar ismail usse na dhoondh paye. aisa soch kar wo ismail se uss shop ki details wagerah samajhne lag gaya. vikas bhi aage ho gaya taaki ussko bhi yeh sab details pata chalti rahein.
ismail bhai ke jaane ke baad bhi vikas aur prem bahut der tak koi tarkeeb sochte rahe heere ki angoothi churaane ki. kaafi samay baad bhi jab koi upay nahi nikla to prem bola,
"vikas ek kaam kar. tu wahan jaa kar dekh kyun nahi aata ek baar saare intezaam. ek baar tu apni aankhon se dekh lega to shayad hum kuch karne mein saksham ho sakein"
"haan. main bhi yehi soch raha thha. lekin prem, kya tujhe sach mein lagta hai ke hum kuch kar payenge... hum dono mein se koi bhi chor nahi hai. bank aaram se loot liya thha kyunki wahan ka sab kuch pata thha. yeh to bahut badi chori lagti hai"
"chinta mat kar vikas. main yahan saara saaman baandhta hoon. tu zara ho kar aa jaa. agar koi raasta nahi dikha to aaj hi iss desh se bhaag jayenge. waapis india jayenge. koi tarkeeb lagaunga main ke apne kisi dost ke yahan tujhe naukari bhi mil jaye. par lets hope ke yeh ismail bhai ka chakkar khatam ho hi jaye. to ek baar ho kar to aa jaa. yeh raha address."
"tu bhi mere saath chal prem. agar rasta bhatak gaya to kya hoga. main to kisi se pooch bhi nahi paunga."
"theek hai. main bhi chalta hoon. lekin main uss dukaan ke bahut hi door khada rahunga taaki koi bhi mujhe dekh na paye. kisi ne dekh liya to fir chori karni bahut hi mushkil ho jayegi" prem ne vikas se bola aur nahaa dho ke thodi der mein tayyaar ho gaya. "dukaan zyaada door nahi hai. chal kar hi jaate hain." prem ne kaha aur dono ghar se ravaana ho gaye. prem ne socha ke park ke beech mein se short cut le liya jaye aur park mein ghus gaya. peeche peeche vikas bhi chal pada. dono chal hi rahe thhe ke unko saamne Dr. Ruhi tehelte hue dikhi. ab basically to prem ek playboy hi thha. to wahan khada hua wo usse ghoorne laga. usske saath usska kutta bhi thha.
"yehi hai kya pingu?" prem ne poocha
"haan. yehi hai. badi irritating awaaz hai. bas kutton ki tarah bhaukta rehta hai" vikas ko wo din yaad aa gaya
"aa zara dr. sahiba se mil lete hain"
"prem late ho rahe hain. pehle kaam nipta lete hain."
"arrey dukaan kaun sa kahin bhaage jaa rahi hai." prem bola aur fir vikas ka chehra dekhte hua bola, "chal theek hai. wo jo gate dikh raha hai na tujhe, uss se bahar nikal ke right le lena. kaafi der tak seedha chalega to deBeers ka bada sa showroom dikh jayega. koi pareshani hogi to ruk jaana. main aata hoon thodi der mein. aise hum dono kaam ek saath kar lenge" vikas ko pata lag gaya thha ke prem nahi maanega. issliye wo khud hi prem ke bataye raste par chalne lag gaya. idhar prem lapak kar Ruhi ke paas ho liya.
"kya doctor sahiba.. subah subah sehat bana rahi hain apni aur pingu ki... bahut badhiya hai.. koi tips hamein bhi de do" ruhi ne ussko dekha aur andekha kar ke aage badh chali. prem bhi itni aasani se haar maan ne waalon mein se nahi thha. "arrey lagta hai aapne abhi tak uss din ke liye maaf nahi kara. uss din meri tabiyat theek nahi thhi. guss emein kuch zyaada bol gaya shayad. kab tak aise hi sazaa dengi aap. maaf bhi kar dijiye."
ab ruhi ko bhi pata chal chuka thha ke prem aise peecha nahi chhodne waala unka. "dekhiye maine aapko maaf kar diya hai. bas mera peecha mat kijiye. mera morning schedule thoda tight hota hai. mere paas aapke liye waqt nahi hai" ussne ruk kar prem ki taraf dekhte hue kaha. pingu bhi peeche mud gaya dekhne ke liye ke usske morning walk mein kaun pange kar raha hai.
"arrey madam waqt to nikalne se hi niklega na. chaliye saath mein walking karte hain" kehta hua prem usske saath ho liya.
"arrey aap samajhta kyun nahi, jab bol diya ke apne raste jaao, to jaao na. kyun faaltu mein gale padte ho" ruhi ne gusse se kaha. apni maalkin ko gusse mein dekh kar pingu bhi prem ki taraf dekh kar gurraane lag gaya.
prem ne socha ke ab ruhi se baat karke to koi faayda hai nahi, kutte ko hi impress kar liya jaye. wo apne ghutnon pe hua aur ek haath aage kar ke pingu ko bulaane lag gaya. pingu pehle se hi thode gusse mein thha to bhaag ke ussne prem ki ungali apne daaton ke beech daba li aur usse zor zor se kaatne lag gaya. "aaahhhh" dard ke maare prem ki muh se cheekh nikali. "abe ungali hai meri.. chhod.." wo pingu ko hataane ki koshish karne laga par pingu hatne ka naam nahi le raha thha. dard ke maare prem bhi chilaane laga. tabhi ruhi aage badhi aur pingu ka jabda apne haath se thoda sa khol diya jisse uski pakkad thodi dheeli padi aur prem ne haath bahar nikal liya. ungali se bahut hi tez khoon beh raha thha.
"dekha .. main keh rahi thhi ke chal jao.. nahi maane tum.. dekho kya ho gaya" ruhi thodi pareshan ho kar boli... "uff itna khoon beh raha hai... aisa karo apni ungali ko zor se daba lo aur mere peeche peeche aao.. ghar par main tumhaari dressing kar deti hoon. pehle jaa kar jaldi se uss fountain ke paani se haath dho lo. paani thanda hai, khoon bhi thoda ruk jayega" prem samajh gaya ke kutte ne uska kaam kar diya hai. ladki ke dil mein uske liye thodi hamdardi jaag gayi hai. wo thoda aur dard ka natak karte water fountain ke paas gaya aur apna haath dho liya. fir wo ruhi ke peeche peeche usske ghar jaane lag gaya.

Udhar vikas ne poori dukaan ka achche se muaayna kar liya thha. chori ki gunjaish usse lag hi nahi rahi thhi. dukaan ke andar bahut saare CCTVs lage hue thhe jo har ek jagah par nigraani kiye hue thhe. waise yeh dukaan india ki dukaanon jaisi nahi thhi. yahan par ek waiting area thha aur andar ki ore kayi chhote chhote offices thhe. shayad har ek office type ki jagah ek salesman ke under aati thhi. har ek cube mein ek taraf ek badi si desk thhi aur ek taraf chhoti desk. chhoti desk ke dono ore kursiyan thhi. shayad customer ko iss chhoti desk par baitha ke usko angoothiyan dikhayi jaati thhi. saari angoothiyan shayad uss badi desk mein rakhi thhi. har ek cube mein ek camera thha jo ek kone mein thha aur aisi position pe thha ke saare room ki aaram se recording kar sakta thha. wahan se wo back area mein agay jahan ussne dekha ke ek aur office hai (shayad boss ka thha) aur ek bade se office mein 2-3 tarah ki badi badi machine padi hain, jo ki ussko samajh nahi aaya ke kiss kaam ke liye hain.
achchi tarah se saara maamla samajh ke vikas hatash ho gaya. ab usko pakka yakeen ho gaya thha ke yahan chori karna namumkin hai. wo bujhe mann se dukaan se bahar nikla aur waapis apne ghar ki ore chal pada. raaste mein usse wohi aadmi khada mila jisne kal usske shareer ko hathyaane ki koshish kari thhi. vika sko chalta dekh wo bhi usske peeche peeche ho liya.
"kyaa baat hai.. waapas kuch ulta karne ka iraada hai kya?"
"meri madat kar do vikas. plz..."
"abe kaahe ki madat.. bhaad mein jaa tu. time nahi hai mere paas. tujh jaise logon ki madat karne se achcha hai main narak mein hi saddta rahun"
"aisa na kaho vikas. main aur nahi sehen kar sakta iss duniya ko. please mujhe yahan se mukti dilao. mujhe pakka yakeen hai ke tum yeh kar sakte ho. yeh koi mushkil ka kaam nahi hai."
"haan haan. maine pehle bhi yeh baatein suni hui hai. abhi tak pachtaa raha hoon. kisi aur ko dhoondh tu. main kuch nahi karne waala."
"vikas meri ek baat to sun lo. bas tumhein mera ek message kisi tak pahunchaana hai. bas. aur kuch nahi karna. jaise hi tum wo msg uss tak pahuncha doga, mera kaam ho jayega aur mujhe mukti mil jayegi" wo aadmi gidgidaane laga
"bas ek msg?? aur kuch nahin?"
"nahin. bas ek msg batana hai"
"haan yeh to main kar dunga. kiss tak pahunchaana hai wo msg?"
"tumhaare ghar ke paas hi meri premika rehti hai. uss tak"
"kya naam hai uska?"
"Dr. Ruhi"
Prem ka khoon behna ab bahut kam ho gaya thha. Ruhi ne antiseptic aur cotton se uska ghaav achchi tarah se saaf kiya aur patti kar di. Ussko itne kareeb se dekh kar baar baar prem ka mann dol raha thha. Kisi tarah se ussne apne upar kaboo kiya hua thha. Kuch samay ke liye nidhi ka khayal usske mann se poori tarah nikal chukka thha. “waise aapki mornings itni busy kyun hoti hain” jab patti puri tarah se ho gayi to ussne poocha
“bas aise hi. Thodi yoga, fir kaam. Subah se hi patients ki bheed umadni shuru ho jaati hai.” Ussne ek lambi saas lete hue kaha
“arrey itna dukhi kyun hoti ho.. yeh to puny aka kaam hai”
“par main doctor punya kamaane ke liye nahi bani thhi. Paisa bhi to koi cheez hoti hai.”
“arrey aap to senti ho gayi. Main to mazaak kar raha thha. Waise kaun kaun rehta hai aapke saath”
“umar mein aap mujhse bade lagte ho, mujhe aap mat kaho..”
“chalo dono ek doosre ko aap nahin kahenge. To yeh batao tumhaare saath aur kaun kaun rehta hai”
“filhaal to koi nahin. Ek boyfriend thha jiski death ho gayi. Tabse bas akeli hi rehti hoon pingu ke saath.. waise tumhaari ungali kaisi hai..”
“arrey itne pyaar se apne saaf kari hai to buri kaise ho sakti hai..”
“flirt karne ki koshish mat karo. I m already getting late. Ab mujhe bhi kaam pe jaana hai. Tum bhi kaam pe chalo”
“kaam hi to kar raha hoon yahan” prem ne socha aur khade ho kar ruhi ko thanks keh kar nikal gaya.
Doosri ore vikas abhi tak uss aadmi mein hi uljha hua thha. “naam kya hai tumhaara”
“kevin.. main bhi ek doctor thha…”
“to suno kevin babu. Abhi to mere paas karne aur sochne ke liye bahut kaam hai. Abhi main tumhaari koi madat nahi kar sakta. Par samay milte hi karunga zarur. Yeh mera vaada hai” usne aisa kaha aur nirash hue kevin ko chhod kar apne ghar ki taraf badh gaya. Prem wahan pehle se hi maujood thha. “abbey teri ungali ko kya hua… galat insaan ko ungali kar di thhi kya ??” haste hue vikas ne bola.
“abe nahin.. tere dost pingu ne kaat khaaya. Lekin issi bahaane ruhi se thodi dosti ho gayi. Tu bata.. kya pata chala?”
Vikas ne ek hi saans mein saara kissa keh sunaya uss jewellery shop ka. “mujhe lagta nahi hai ke kisi bhi tarah se yeh chori karna mumkin hoga. Main to kehta hoon ke apna boriya bistaraa baandho aur nikal chalo yahan se.”
“yaar tu haar badi jaldi maan jaata hai. Mujhe lagta hai ke kuch to possible hoga hi. Ek baat bata… wo jo desks pad thhi hare k cabin mein, wo kaisi thhi” aise kar ke prem ne kayi aur sawaal kiye taaki wo uss dukaan ko achchi tarah se samajh paye. Jab wo santusht ho gaya to bola “lagta to possible hai. Lekin thodi madat ki zarurat padegi humein. Abhi sabse zyaada badi problem uss camera ki hai. Agar kisi tarah se wo disconnect ho jaye to thoda kaam ban jayega. Aur doosri problem hai ke humein shayad madat ki zarurat bhi padegi. “
“Rahul se madat maang sakte hain” vikas bola
“aur kyun karega wo teri madat? Pehle kam jhamelon mein phasa hai wo. Lagta hai mujhe hi kuch karna padega”
“kya karega tu ?”
“meri nazar mein ek hai jissko paison ki zarurat hai. Shayad wo yeh kaam karne ko tayyaar ho jaye. Bas thoda sa jhooth bolna padega. Lekin lagta hai ke main sambhaal lunga. Waise bhi 5 din ka time diya hai ismail ne. tab tak to angoothi humaare kabze mein hi hogi”
