Update - 169 ~ Dispute and Escape ​

Ab tak...

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.

“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’

*Ding*

[No information available.]

Ab aage...

Alaukik saundarya!

Kya hi khubsoorti thi. Veer ne apne jeevan me na jaane kitni hi sundar stree dekhi hongi par woh har baar ye sochne par vivash ho jaata tha ki akhir ek hi sansaar me itna saundarya kaise ho sakta tha? Aur, akhir kitna abhi dekhna baaki tha?

Itna dekhne ke baad bhi ye khatam hone ka naam nahi le raha. Kitni sundar streeyaan abhi aur iss sansaar me hongi? Itna kuch dekhne ke baad bhi uska kabhi inse mann kyu nahi bhara? Woh hamesha hi inn sawaalo ke bavandar me fass jaata tha. Aur, aaj bhi yahi hua.

China
Sichuan Province, Panzhihua
Morning ~ 2:20 AM

Veer ki nazre saamne khadi laal rang ki nighty pehne uss khubsoorat ladki par tiki hui thi. Gori makhmali twacha, harr ang me sampann maans, laal sundar honth aur badi badi kaali kajraari aankhein.

Woh bhi Veer ko upar se neeche tak dekh rahi thi. Zaahir hai jaise Veer ne use check kiya tha wese hi usne bhi Veer ko check kar liya tha. Kya iss ladki ko ye nahi pata tha ki Renshu ne yaha par use bulaaya hai? Aur, agar pata tha toh woh iss tarah use rok kyu rahi thi?

Aadha minute tak toh dono ek dusre ka bas aaklan hi karte rahe. Dono kuch nahi bole. Kuch shan baad Veer ke mann me ladki ki kahi gayi baat punah goonji.

‘Who allowed you to trespass Mister?’

Veer ne use dekhte hue fir uske prashn ka uttar diya,

Veer : I was invited here.

Ladki : I know that…! Woh envelope mene hi banaya tha.

Veer : Huh!?

Veer ke mann me turant hi uss envelope ki chhavi bann ke haazir hui. Kuch derr pehle hi usne woh envelope Driver ko diya tha. Toh iska matlab uss envelope ko iss ladki ne banaya tha? Yaani ye Renshu ki hi taraf thi?

Ab Veer ko samajh aaya ki envelope ki style bhala itni ladkiyo ki tarah kyu thi. Usme itne phool patte kyu bane hue the. Itni sajawat se koi ladki hi use taiyaar kar sakti thi. Aur, woh yaha soch raha tha ki Renshu ka taste ladkiyo waala tha.

Ye jaan ke use thodi raahat mili ki Renshu uss kism ka nahi tha. Parantu, ye ladki kaun thi jo system hone ke bawajood Renshu ke hit ke liye kaam kar rahi thi?

Veer : Toh jab envelope tumne hi banaya hai toh tumhe ye bhi pata hona chahiye ki mujhe woh envelope deke yaha par invite kiya gaya hai.

Ladki : Haan! Janti hu!

Veer : What the-!? Jab jaanti ho toh rok kyu rahi ho?

Ladki : Invite kiya hai Mister. Iska matlab ye thodi hai ki tum seedhe ghuste hue andar chale aaoge. Kya tumhe iss property ke maalik ne permission di?

Woh bauhe upar chadhaate hue uss se puchi.

Veer : What the hell!? Kya woh driver Renshu ne nahi bheja mere liye? Usi ne mujhse baahar kaha ki aap andar jaa sakte hai. Aur-

Ladki : Shut up!!!!

Veer : Huh!?

Ladki : How dare you-!???

Veer : ???

Ladki : Kya kaha tumne? Renshu??? Huh??

Veer : Kya ye ghar Renshu ka nahi!?

Veer jaise jaise ‘Renshu’ kehta jaa raha tha, ladki ka gussa utna hi badhta jaa raha tha.

Ladki : Zubaan sambhaal ke Mister!

Veer : Hmm???

Ladki : Renshi nahi!! It’s ‘Lord Renshu’!!

Veer : What the-!!!

[Huh? Is she delusional or what? Lord Renshu?? Pfft~ Wahahaha! What a joke!]

Veer (frowns) : Aur tumhari tareef?

Ladki : Naam batana mein zaroori nahi samajhti.

[Narcissist! Hmm~]

Pari ne ek shabd me hi saamne khadi ladki ko define kar diya. Narcissist woh log hote the jo apne aap ko bahut upar samajhte the. Veer bas uss ladki ko dekhta raha. Woh iss waqt uss se muh ladaane ke chakkar me nahi tha. Soorat bhale kitni hi acchi kyu na ho, andar ki khubsoorti se hi insaan ko parakhna chahiye. Ye baat Veer ek baar fir jaan gaya tha.

Ladki : Follow me!!!

Veer : …

Bina Veer ki taraf dobaara dekh woh ladki be-mann se seedha palat ke andar jaane lagi aur idhar majbooran Veer ko uska peecha karna pada.

Andar se ye siheyuan ghar kayi guna bada tha. Modern equipments aur machines ke saath saath puraani cheezo se bhi ghar saja hua tha. Jagah jagah sugandhit candles aur laalten se kona kona raushan tha. Lights bhi lagi hui thi par harr jagah candles aur sirf laalten hi jal rahi thi.




[Looks like Renshu ko modern lights pasand nahi.]

‘Maybe!’

[Wese ye candle lights bhi buri nahi. What do you say? Tum, mein aur candle light dinner? Hmm? Fufu~]

‘Shut up!’

[Oh dear! You are so unromantic.]

Veer chup chaap bas apne saamne ladki ki chaal ka peecha kar raha tha. Aur, harr baar khud ko yahi yaad dila raha tha ki zaroori nahi hai ki har sundar ladki ke paas sundar dil ho. Woh chalte chalte agal bagal ghar ko bhi dekhte jaa raha tha. Ghar antiques se bhi bhara pada tha. Na jaane kitne karodo ki sampatti toh inhi antiques ki thi.

Woh harr cheez ko check bhi karta jaa raha tha aur use harr cheez ki ek anumaanit keemat jaanane ko mil rahi thi. Woh ek baat samajh gaya tha ki Renshu ke paas atyadhik paisa tha. Isme koi shaq waali baat hi nahi.

Parantu, wahi akela system owner nahi tha. Ek system owner kya karta hai aisi sthiti me ye baat saamne chal rahi woh ladki bhi bhali bhaati jaanti thi. Isliye, woh bina palte hi chalte chalte Veer se boli,

Ladki : Mind your own business. Kaha par kya rakha hai, kya cheez hai tumhe check karne ki zaroorat nahi. You are a guest so, behave like one.

Veer ki bauhe ye sunn kass uthi.

Ye ladki…! Kitni irritating thi. Ye Pari bhi samajh gayi thi. Magar, galti uski bhi thi. Woh aam jagaho par aisa kar sakta tha. Par, yaha par woh system owners ke beech me tha. Aur, unke ghar ki cheezo ko check karna kahi na kahi theek nahi tha.

Usne idhar udhar dekhna band kiya aur saamne chal rahi ladki ki patli kamar ko dekh aage badhta raha. Par, abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab woh ladki achanak se ruki aur sarr mod peeche Veer ko gusse me dekhi.

Veer : Huh?

Uske rukte hi Veer bhi ruk gaya.

Ladki (grits) : I told you to mind your own business. Didn’t I?

‘What the-!?’

[Use pata lag gaya hai ki tum uske badan ko peeche se ghoor rahe the.]

‘Don’t tell me-’

[Haan! Koi skill hogi uske paas. Beware! Tumhe itni hi garmi chadhi hai then talk to me darling~ Why bother her? Mein hu na tumhare liye. Call me ‘Mommy’ and then I will-]

‘Shut up!!!’

Ek baar punah Pari ko shaant karwate hue Veer aage badha. Iss baar uski nazre neeche thi. Na hi uss ladki par aur na hi aas paas rakhi cheezon par.



Woh dono seedhiyo ka istemal kar ek floor upar aaye aur ek kamre ki orr badhne lage. Andar aate hi Veer ne dekha ki kamra andar se kaafi bada tha. Uski nazar turant hi saamne ki orr gayi.

Saamne ek decorative ping-feng rakha hua tha.



Ping-feng darasal woh lakdi ka furniture hota tha jise fold kiya jaa sakta tha. Ise kamre ko do bhaag me baatne ke liye istemal kiya jaata tha. Bas, ise khol ke beecho beech rakhna hota tha aur ye sundar si dikhne waali screen kamre ko do hisso me baant deti thi.

Iska istemal aksar chinese parivar kara karte the. Aur toh aur iska upyog kapde badalne ki screen ki tarah bhi kiya jaata tha. Ye ek barrier ya deewaar ki tarah kaam karta tha.

Yaha par bhi Veer ke saamne maujood ye ping-feng ek screen ki tarah hi kaam kar raha tha. Kyuki, ping-feng ke uss taraf use kisi insaan ki parchhaayi nazar aa rahi thi. Koi peeche kapde badal raha tha.

Ladki : I’m here, Dad!

Veer : Hmm?

Dad?? Veer ke mann me kuch sawaal paida hue. Par iske pehle ki woh inke jawaab khoj paata saamne se ek aadmi ping-feng ke baahar nikal ke aaya. Uski oonchi kad-kaathi dekh Veer ki aankhein chaudi ho gayi aur use uske sawaal ka jawaab bhi mil gaya.

Li Renshu!!!

Renshu : Mere ghar me tumhara swaagat hai, Veer!!!

Uski bhaari bharkam awaaz kamre me goonj gayi. Renshu pichli baar ki hi tarah dikhayi pad raha tha. Lambi lambi daadhi aur baal, bhara hua shareer. Toh wahi, Veer ke bagal se khadi ladki ko bhi akhir Veer ka naam pata chal gaya. Ye wahi ladki thi jo kuch din pehle Renshu se baat kar rahi thi. Renshu ki apni beti. Yahi woh ladki thi jise Veer ke envelope kholne par turant hi uska abhaas ho gaya tha.

Veer : Y-Ye-!? Ye tumhari beti hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Kyu?

Par Veer ke jawaab dene se pehle hi Renshu ki beti tapaak se bol padi,

Ladki : Hmph~ Mujhe toh laga tha tumhari ‘hindi’ bhaasha me ‘aap’ aur ‘tum’ ka alag alag mehatv hai. Par, lagta hai tum jaise ladko ko uska sahi se istemaal karna nahi aata. Itni bhi samajh nahi hai ki kaha par kise ‘aap’ kehna hai? Aur kise ‘tum’? Stupid!!!

Veer : ???

Veer use thoda ghoor ke dekha jaise samajhna chaah raha ho ki akhir ye ladki chaahti kya thi uss se? Kahi na kahi use itna andaza lag gaya tha ki ye ladki apne pita ki taraf behad hi wafadar, aagyakari aur aadarkari thi. Par, use kuch bhi kehne ki zaroorat nahi padi kyuki turant hi Renshu ki oonchi awaaz ne waha sabko shaant kar diya.

Renshu (yells) : Ericaaaaa!!!!!

Aur, apne pita ki oonchi awaaz sunn, Erica turant hi seham gayi. Sarr jhukaate hue usne fauran hi kaha,

Erica : Sorry Dad!

Renshu : Veer hamara mehman hai. Koi karzdaar nahi.

Erica : Kya woh favor karz nahi the Dad? Akhir humne inki jaan jo bachaayi thi.

Woh Veer ki taraf dekhte hue muh fula kar boli.

Renshu : Woh mera aur Veer ke beech ka mamla hai. Maine uski madad ki thi. Aur, woh meri madad karne ke liye aaj yaha par hai. Ek system owner ka dusre system owner ki madad karna hi sahi karm hai. Ye baat tum acche se jaanti ho. Ahinda se hamare mehmaano ki khatirdari me mujhe tumhari taraf se koi bhi kami mehsoos nahi honi chahiye.

Erica (sarr jhukate hue) : Y-Yes Dad! Par, inn mister se bhi keh dijiye ki ye aap ko aapke naam se na bulaaye. Aap yaha ke ‘Lord’ ho Dad. Nobody is stronger than you. Aur, inko bhi izzat karte aana chahiye. Aur-

Renshu : Veer jo chaahe mujhe bula sakta hai. Use inn formalities me shamil hone ki koi zaroorat nahi.

Erica (baffled) : Wh-Whaaatttt???

Woh ekdum stabdh thi. Kabhi bhi uske Dad ne apne se itni chhoti umr waale ladke ko aisi azaadi nahi di thi. Fir, Veer ko kaise? Akhir, aisi kya khaas baat thi iss ladke me?

Woh apne daant meeste hue Veer ko dekhi. Apne pita ke liye uska sammaan aseem tha. Harr aadmi uske pita ke saamne sarr jhukata tha. Yaha tak ki China ki apni government ke officials bhi uske saamne izzat se pesh aate the. Kisi ki majaal nahi thi ki uske Dad ke saamne koi oonchi awaaz me baat kar sake. Toh, fir ye ladka kaun tha? Bhala ise itni chhooth kyu mili hui thi?

Veer toh mann hi mann prafullit ho raha tha. Akhir, iss ladki ko apni kadwi dawayi ka swaad mil hi gaya. Erica jaise hi Veer ki orr dekhi, Veer ek kapti muskaan liye use hi dekh raha tha.

Veer : Heh~

Erica (gusse me) : Wha-!!?? Y-You- You freaking-!!!

Renshu : Hamare mehmaan ke liye ek garma garam chai banao Erica! Aao, Veer!

Kehte hue woh kamre ke daayi taraf chal diya jaha baithak bani hui thi. Aur, uske saath saath hi Veer bhi peeche peeche badh gaya. Par, Erica ko toh aaj jaise jhatke par jhatke lag rahe the.

Erica : Wh-What?? M-Mein? Chai banau? Aur, iske liye?

Renshu ne jab palat ke prashn bhari nazro se use ghoora toh woh turant hi apni nazre churaate hue haami bhari,

Erica : L-Laati hu!

Aur, waha se baayi orr badh wahi par lage ek induction chulhe me bartan rakh woh paani bhar usme chai chadhaane lagi.

Renshu ne Veer ko neeche baithaya. Neeche ek soft sa cushion baithne ke liye bana hua tha. Woh bhi apni jagah par Veer ke saamne baitha. Gol akaar ki table jiski height lagbhag 30 cm hogi unn dono ke beech maujood thi aur kamra laalten aur mombattiyo se raushan tha.

Renshu : Aane me koi taqleef toh nahi hui na?

Veer : Nahi! Bas, raasta thoda lamba tha. Ye poori property tumhari hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!

Veer : Great!!

Renshu : Tum soch rahe hoge ki bhala aisi jagah par mujhe property kaise mil gayi? Ye ilaaka toh jangal se lagta hai aur dekha jaaye toh iss par sarkaar ka haq hai. Hai na?

Veer (nods) : Right! Baahar jab mein car se utra tha toh mere dimaag me sabse pehle yahi aaya tha.

Renshu : Uske peeche bhi ek lambi kahani hai. Mere pita ji ne shuru se hi China ke liye bahut kuch kiya hai. Iss zameen par reh ke unhone bahut kuch China ke liye daav pe lagaya hai.

Veer : Ohh!

Renshu : Saral aur kam shabdo me kahu toh… Dekho Veer! Idhar dekho! Isme tumhe behtar se samajh me aayega.

Kehte hue usne saamne rakhi gol table par ek naksha pesh kiya jo ki China ka hi tha. Par, iss nakshe me China ke provinces me alag alag jangal jo maujood the woh aur bhi behtar dhang se nazar aa rahe the.

Renshu : Dekho Veer! Hum abhi Sichuan ke sheher Panzhihua ke baahri ilaake me maujood hai. Iske baad se Xishuangbanna ka jangal lagna shuru ho jaata hai.

Woh nakshe par apni ungli rakh Veer ko sab kuch acche se samjha raha tha. Aur Veer bhi bade hi dhyaan se sab kuch samajh raha tha. Toh wahi chai bana rahi Erica dur se hi muh fula ke Veer ko apne mann me khari khoti suna rahi thi. Aur, uska saath nibha rahi thi uski apni system~

Genesis!!!

‘Ye bewakoof ladka! Hmph! Zara bhi respect nahi hai isme. Akhir Dad ne kya dekh liya isme?’

[Mujhe nahi pata. But He’s handsome hehe!]

‘Tum handsome ladko ke alawa kuch aur sochti bhi ho ya nahi?’

[Sochti hu na!!]

‘Aur woh kya hai madam???’

[Ek strong aur powerful man! Ahhh~]

‘Shut up!!! Jab dekho tab bas strong powerful handsome man ki ratt lagayi rehti ho. Hum ladkiya bhi strong hoti hai.’

[Yes! But in the end… A woman always longs for a powerful and handsome man.]

‘Hmph! Tumhari ideology mujhe nahi samajh aati.’

[Ek na ek din samajh jaogi tum bhi.]

‘Aur kya pata? Kaho ye mister mujhse bhi fisaddi nikle? I think I can take him on.’

[Ye bhul mat karna. Never judge a system owner without finding out his abilities. Woh koi aam insaan nahi hai. He’s also a system owner like you. Koi baat hogi usme jo tumhare Dad ne uss par trust kar ke use invitation bheja. Ye baat tum bhi acche se jaanti ho ki tumhare Dad trust ko leke kitne sakht hai.]

‘Th-That’s right! Dad bina wajah iss tarah kisi par bhi trust nahi karte.’

[Yes! Aur, isliye tumhe kisi ko bhi halke me nahi lena hai. It’s better to be safe than sorry.]

‘Theek hai! Agar mein uss se lad nahi sakti toh kam se kam use aazma toh sakti hu.’

[Aur ek baat! Usne uss Crimson ko maara hai. Ye bhi yaad rakhna.]

‘Toh? Humne kaha uss Crimson ko dekha hai? Dad se hi suna tha jitna suna tha. Hume toh ye bhi nahi pata ki akhir woh kitna taqatwar tha. Tum khamakha Veer ko chane ke jhaad par chadha rahi ho.’

[Just listen to me and don’t fuck with him.]

‘Alright! Alright! But tum befaltu hi darr rahi ho Genie! Dad se strong koi nahi hai. Woh hamara kuch nahi kar sakta.’

Uski baat par uski pyaari Genie yaani ki Genesis ne koi jawaab nahi diya.

‘Aur isko toh mein ab batati hu. Mere upar hass raha tha huh? Let’s see how he laughs after this.’

[Tum kya soch rahi ho ab?]

Erica ne chai bana li thi. Usne Renshu aur apni chai pehle hi chhaan ke nikal li aur bachi hui chai me usne-

[What the hell? Kya kar rahi ho tum? Are you testing his patience? Mene abhi tumhe samjhaya tha ki don’t fuck with him. Hum abhi uske baare me theek se-]

‘Hehe! Don’t worry! Erica ka koi uske saamne mazak banaye ye Erica ko pasand nahi. Tum dekho bas ab-!!!’

Woh dono aapas me mann me hi khusur pusur karti rahi aur idhar Renshu sab kuch vistaar me Veer ko samjha raha tha.

Renshu : Sichuan ke neeche hi Yunnan Province lagta hai Veer. Nakshe me dekh ke tumhe samajh aa raha hoga.




Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Renshu : Yunnan me hi Xishuangbanna asal me sthit hai. China ka sabse bada jangal. Lekin, uss jangal ka baahri hissa yahi se lagna shuru ho jaata hai.

Veer : Okay!

Renshu : Baat kuch saal pehle ki hai. Xishuangbanna kyuki ek jangal hai toh tum ye jaante hi hoge ki jangalo me tribal log raha karte hai.

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Ye baat Veer jaanta tha. Harr jangal me kahi na kahi aadivaasi log rehte hi the. Alag alag tribes se hote hue woh jangalo me hi apna ghar, apna samaaj, apne niyam, apne qaayde sab kuch bana liya karte the.

Renshu : Uss samay bhi ek tribe waha raha karti thi. Jangal ke paas hi tab kahi se pata laga tha ki waha par ek mine ki khoj ki gayi hai.

Veer : Mine!?

Renshu : Hmm! Elements se bhari mine.

Veer (frowns) : Kaise elements?

Renshu : Kayi saare. Mines me keval ek element nahi hota Veer. Khodne par na jaane kya kya mil sakta hai. Aur, uss samay kuch metals mile the. Kuch elements bhi jo ki-

Veer : Jo ki?

Renshu : Radioactive the.

Veer (surprised) : Ek radioactive mine!?



Veer chakit tha. Radioactive mine koi aam mine nahi thi. Ye woh mines hoti thi jaha par radiation bhi paaya jaata tha. Iska matlab saaf tha ki mine me radioactive elements bhi maujood the. Aise me uss mine ki kya ahamiyat thi, ye Veer anumaan laga liya tha.

Renshu : Ab agar aise me mine ki khoj hoti hai. Toh tumhe kya lagta hai? Woh jagah kiske haq me jaani chahiye?

Veer : Government ke?

Renshu (nods) : Exactly! Lekin, shuruati daur me aisa hua nahi tha. Tumhe pata hai kyu?

Veer : Kyuki, jangal ke tribal log iss se taiyaar nahi the.

Renshu (nods) : Bilkul sahi! Unke anusaar jangal unki apni zameen thi. Mine agar government ke haatho me di… toh mine par jaane ke liye aane jaane ka raasta bhi dena padta. Tribal log ye kabhi nahi chaahte the ki unke ilaake me koi bhi baahri vyakti aaye din dakhal de.

Veer : Fir?

Renshu : Yahi par fir mere pita ji kahani me aate hai. Woh ek forest ranger the aur Tribal logo ki boli bhaasha se bahut acche se parichit the. Woh unhe samajhte the aur unse baat kiya karte the. Wahi the jinhone iss samjhaute ko karwaya tha.

Veer : Ohh!!

Renshu : Hmm! Aur, unhi ke itne saare yogdan ki wajah se pita jii ko uss samay yaha ye zameen dii gayi thi.

Veer : Jo ki kaafi badi zameen hai.

Renshu : Government ke liye kya zyada zaroori tha uss samay? Ye kuch acres ki zameen ya fir radioactive elements se ladi ek mine?

Veer : Hmm! Agar iss tarah rakha jaaye toh harr baat sense banaati hai. I see!

Renshu : Hmm! Aur, pita ji ke jaane ke baad ye zameen fir mere naam hui. Ab mein yaha ka maalik hu.

Veer : So that’s how it is!!

Woh dono abhi baat hi kar rahe the jab unke baayi orr se Erica ki awaaz aayi, “Chai taiyaar hai!”

Woh ek tray me chinese cups me chai bhar unke paas aayi aur tray ko neeche table par rakh di. Tray se ek cup uthaate hue usne sabse pehle apne Dad ko chai serve ki aur uske baad Veer ke liye ek cup uthaate hue badi si muskaan apne hontho par bikhere uske nazdeek aayi.

Erica : I’m sorry for my behavior. Dad se koi bhi iss tarah baat karta hai toh mujhe bas accha nahi lagta. I hope tum mujhe maaf kar doge?

Uske iss ravaiyye par Renshu khush hua aur muskuraya bhi. Toh wahi Veer bhi dobaara se uske baare me sochne par vivash ho gaya. Ye ladki itni buri bhi nahi thi.

Veer : It’s okay!

Usne haami bhar khushi khushi Erica ke haatho se chai ka cup liya. Sabhi apni apni jagah virajman the. Erica bhi ek cushion leke unke hi bagal se baith gayi thi. Renshu ne haath se ishaara kar Veer ko aage badhne ko kaha. Sharmane ki zaroorat nahi thi. Veer ne bhi cup me garam garam chai ko ek do baar foonk maar ke ghooth liya.

Aur tabhi-

‘Huh!!???’

Uska muh andar hi andar itni kass ke sikuda. Woh mann me hi cheenkh pada.

‘Fucking bitchhhhhh!!!!!’

Chai me cheeni nahi balki… namak maujood tha.

Uss swaad ko shabdo me bayaa nahi kiya jaa sakta tha. Itna wahiyaat tha. Idhar Veer ki haalat ek ghooth pee ke hi khasta thi toh wahi dusri orr Renshu chai ki chuski lete hue uske swaad par muskura raha tha.

Renshu : Chai acchi bani hai Erica! Hamare mehman India se hai. Aur, tumne iss chai se bilkul bhi niraash nahi kiya. Kyu hai na Veer? Kaisi lagi?

Kaisi lagi? Yeh chai bechaare Veer ke gale nahi utar rahi thi. Jaise darr ke maare gaand sikud jaaya karti thi kuch usi tarah abhi Veer ke gaal the jo andar se sikude hue the. Use ab sab samajh aa chuka tha. Erica ne ye sab jaan boojh ke kiya tha. Woh uss se apna badla le rahi thi. Cup par uski pakad mazboot ho gayi. Par, apne chehre par usne koi bhaav aane nahi diye. Iss ladki ko toh wo baad me dekh lega.

Veer : Ahaha! B-Bahut acchi hai! *nods* Waqai!

Idhar uska reaction dekh Erica mann hi mann thahaake maar rahi thi. Aur, jaise jataane ki koshish kar rahi thi ki woh koi aeri-geri ladki nahi balki Li Renshu ki beti thi.

Kahi na kahi ek zaroori aur aham baat bhi Veer ne apne mann me baitha li thi. Li Renshu aur uski beti Li Erica… Dono ke paas system tha. Toh kya woh iss waqt saare system owners me se sabse zyada taqatwar nahi the? Akhir, woh do log the. Baap aur beti! Do system owners ka ek saath hona. Koi bhi unhe halke me nahi le sakta tha.

Chai ko kuch derr side rakhte hue Veer ne Renshu ki taraf dekha aur kaha,

Veer : Mere kuch sawaal hai.

Renshu : Hmm! Pucho!

Veer : Sabse pehla sawaal ye hai ki police ya government ne tribal people ke khilaaf kuch kiya kyu nahi? Mine jaisi cheez hamesha government ke hisse me hi aati hai. Toh agar government chaahti toh tribal logo ko zabardasti bhi toh jangal se nikaal sakti thi na?

Renshu : Hmm! Accha sawaal hai. Aur, iska jawaab hai~ Nahi! Government aisa nahi kar sakti thi. Kyu? Uska kaaran batata hu.

Veer : ???

Renshu : Veer, Xishuangbanna jangal kareeban 20,000 square kilometers me faila hua hai. Jangal bada hai. Chhota mota nahi.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Mene tumhe kuch derr pehle tribes ke baare me bataya tha.

Veer : Yahi ki jangal me tribes ke log raha karte the!?

Renshu : Hmm! Par, unme se ek tribe mukhya thi jiski jansankhya bhi baakiyo se kahi adhik thi. Aur, woh tribe thi~ Long!

Veer : Long?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! ‘Long’ Tribe. Sabse khatarnak aur sabse ladaaku tribe. Jaadu totke, janvaro ko niyantrit karna, inn sab me bahut aage rehti thi.

Veer : Oh!?

Renshu : Jangal bahut ghana hai. Aise me jab jab Long tribe ke logo ko zabardasti apne ilaake ko dene ki baat kahi jaati thi toh tribe ke log hamesha ladne par utar aate the. Yaha tak ki ek-do logo ko jaan se maar bhi diya tha unhone. Tribe itni khatarnaak thi ki government khoon kharaabe par nahi utar sakti thi.

Veer : !!!??

Renshu : Ye sach hai! Isliye, mere pita ji ke dwara karwaya gaya ye samjhauta bahut hi upar maana jaata hai. Aur, unka naam aaj bhi aadar se liya jaata hai.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Koi aur sawaal?

Veer : Hmm! Dusra sawaal! Ye samjhauta akhir aise hi toh hua nahi hoga? Itni asaani se kaise maan gaye Long Tribe ke log? Sirf agar baato se hi manana tha toh pehle hi maan jaate? Tumhare pita ji ke aane se aisa kya hua?

Renshu Veer ke prashn par muskuraya aur use kuch derr dekha.

Renshu (smiles) : Mein sahi tha jo tumhe invitation diya.

Erica : Huh??

Bagal me baithi Erica jo ab tak table par apne dono haath tikaaye dono ke vartalaap ko dhyaan se sunn rahi thi woh firse apne Dad ko Veer ki taraf rujhaan rakhte dekh hairan reh gayi. Cheenkh cheenkh ke khud se yahi sawaal karti ki ~ Akhir iss ladke me aisa tha kya???

Renshu : Tum sahi ho Veer! Samjhauta aise hi nahi hua tha. Ek agreement kiya gaya tha. Jo ki abhi bhi kaagzo me maujood hai government aur Long tribe ke paas bhi.

Veer : Agreement?

Renshu : Hmm! Agreement jo mere pita jii ne karwaya tha. Aur, agreement ye tha ki ~ Mine desh ki bhoomi ka hissa hai jisme anokhe padaarth maujood hai. Zaahir hai uss par desh ki sarkaar ka hi haq hoga. Aur, jangal me Long tribe ho ya koi bhi tribe, iss par rok nahi laga sakti. Akhir, ye sabhi ke hit ke liye hai.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Lekin, government ko sirf aur sirf mine aur uss tak jaane ki hi access di jayegi. Woh baaki jangal me tribes ke log ya unke ilaake me hastakshep nahi kar sakte the.

Veer (frowns) : Aur Long Tribe iss se raazi ho gayi? Tumne abhi toh bataya tha na ki tribal log ye kabhi nahi chaahenge ki unke ilaake se koi bhi raasta banaya jaaye aur baahri vyakti-

Renshu : Pehle sunn toh lo poori baat.

Veer : !!?

Renshu : Of course! Shuruat me Long Tribe iss se bilkul bhi raazi nahi thi. Aur, yahi pe aata hai iss agreement ka second point.

Veer : Huh???

Renshu : For the allowance of transportation and ease of conduct from the tribal people, Long Tribe will be accorded 1/10th portion of the mine excluding the radioactive region. Ye tha second point.

Veer ki aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Veer : I-Iska matlab-!?

Renshu (nods) : Tumne sahi samjha. Mine ka 1/10th hissa Long Tribe ko de diya gaya tha.

Veer : Magar, Tribe ke logo ke liye woh mine kis kaam ki bhala?

Renshu : Ek aur accha sawaal. Veer, mujhe ye batao ki aam aadmi ko kis cheez ki sabse zyada zaroorat hoti hai? Koi aisi cheez jiske bina aam aadmi zindagi guzaar nahi sakta par tribal ke log araam se jee sakte hai.

Veer : Paisa!?

Renshu (smiles) : Ekdum sahi! Toh aise me Long Tribe ko fir kya chahiye tha? Paisa unka main maqsad nahi hai. Agar unhe paisa kamana hota toh woh jangalo me thodi reh rahe hote.

Veer : Hmm!

Veer apne hontho ko ek haath se chhipaaye ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Fir kuch derr baad bola,

Veer : Right! Jangalo me tribes rehti hai toh unke apne cultures hote hai. Mine ka istemal unke nazariye se kayi cheezo ke liye kiya jaa sakta tha. Jaise ki agar gold aur silver mine se milta hai toh uss se woh jwellery bana sakte hai. Koi aur metals milte hai toh woh unse bartan ya koi auzaar bhi bana sakte hai. Lekin, iske liye bhi toh unhe machines toh lagengi hi na? Woh ye sab akele kaise kar sakte hai?

Renshu : Old traditional method Veer.

Veer (surprised) : Unse ye aati hai?

Renshu : Maine tumse kaha tha ki Long Tribe bahut aage thi. Jaadu totke, maar dhaad, jaanvaro ko paalne ke alaawa ek ye kala bhi thi jisme woh maahir the.

Veer : I see! Agar, unse khud se ye sab banaate aata hai toh- ek prakaar se unhe fir paise ki zaroorat hi nahi. Woh saari suvidhaaye apne jangal me hi dhoondh sakte hai. Sheher jaane ki jo dependency thi woh-

Renshu : Samapt ho gayi.

Veer : Yeah!

Renshu : Aur, isliye akhir me Long Tribe iss faisle se raazi hui thi.

Veer : I got the picture now.

Renshu ke chehre par bhaav tabhi achanak se gambheer ho gaye.

Renshu (frowns) : But the picture has changed now.

Veer : Huh!!???

Heibei Province,
Beijing's Police station,
Morning - 3:08 AM~

Subah lag chuki thi parantu akaash me andhera hi chhaaya hua tha. Sooraj ko nikalne me abhi kaafi samay tha. Aur, itni raat gaye Beijing ke police station me police officers bhi apni night duty me kaam kam aur kharraate zyada le rahe the.

Night duty aksar ek bahaana hi hota tha unka. Ye toh bas bolne ki baat thi ki night duty kathin hoti thi. Asal sacchayi toh woh jaante the ki raat me khud qaidi bhi so jaaya karta tha. Risk kaafi kam hota tha. Aur, agar koi bhaagne ki firaaq me ho bhi toh- bhaagne me aksar asafal hi hota tha. 1-2% hi aise cases hote the jaha par qaidi faraar hone me qamyaab ho paata tha.

Yahi soch ke night duty me officers apni apni jagah liye kharraate le rahe the. Yaha tak ki jail me maujood qaidi bhi chenn ki neend me so rahe the. Siwae ek jann ke...

Ek khubsoorat si stree wahi jail ke ek cell me band thi. Patli si deewar se lagi hui patiya par woh baithi hui thi. Aur, apne hi vichaaro me leen thi.

Ye koi aur nahi Garofano hi thi jisko police ne apni giraft me le liya tha. Woh ab bhi samajh nahi paa rahi thi ki akhir ye sab ghatit kaise hua magar, abhi uss par dimaag kharch karne se behtar tha ye sochna ki yaha se baahar kaise nikla jaaye. Aur, isi ke liye Freya ki awaaz uske mann me turant hi goonj uthi,

[Kis cheez ka intezar kar rahi ho? This is the right moment. Do it.]

'Lekin, security cameras ka kya?'

[Pehle yaha se nikalna zaroori hai. Pehle ek step toh implement karo.]

'Hmm!'

Freya ki baat se Garofano raazi akhir ho hi gayi. Woh apni jagah se uthi aur aur salaakho ke paas aate hue usne awaaz lagaayi.

"Hello-!!!!"

"Hello!!???"

Woh lagataar unme se ek police officer ko bulaati rahi. Cell ki chaavi usi ke jeb me rakhi hui thi. Jaise tese kayi baar zorr se awaaz lagane ke baad woh officer apni neend se jaag hi gaya.

Officer : H-Huh!?? K-Kaun hai?

Uski aankhon se abhi bhi dhundhlapann hata nahi tha.

Garofano : Excuse me!?

Officer : H-Huh!!?? Kya hai?

Garofano : Yaha mere cell me paani khatam ho gaya hai. Peene ka paani mil sakta hai kya?

Uski iss request par Officer ne zyada kuch nahi socha. Bas sada sa muh banaate hue woh utha aur wahi table par rakhi usne ek paani ki bottle uthaayi aur Garofano ke cell ki orr badh gaya.

Paas aate hi usne jaise hi Garofano ko bottle thamaayi use achanak hi apne gale par kuch chubhan si hui. Kuch mehsoos hua. Par jab tak ki woh apna haath gardan par le jaake uss cheez ko dekh paata ki woh kya thi... Uski aankhon ke saamne andhera chhaa gaya aur woh dhadaam se neeche gir pada.

Uske neeche girte hi Garofano ne fatafat jhuk ke haath ko cell ke baahar le jaate hue uski pant ko tatola aur jeb me haath daalte hi cell ki chaavi uske haath me lag gayi.

Prison cell ke darwaaze ko kholte hue woh turant hi bahar aayi. Sab ke sab so rahe the. Par baahar maujood guard ke baare me kuch kaha nahi jaa sakta tha. Aur na hi CCTV operators ka jo cabin me baithe hue the.

'Step 1 done!'

[Time kam hai. Yaha khade nahi reh sakte. Run!!!]

'CCTVs ka kya? Usme toh sab kuch saaf saaf dikh gaya hoga.'

[Tumhara baahar aate bas record hua hoga. Apni skill use karte hue nahi. Don't worry. Just run!!]

'Par CCTVs se agar evidence mita de toh?'

[Very good! Tum yahi karti rehna. Agar woh log abhi hume dekh rahe ho toh? Woh jaag rahe ho toh? Ab tak unn logo ne kaho baaki officers ko complaint bhi kar di ho. Aur, tum yaha khadi rehna. Just run dear! We can handle this later.]

'Alright!'

Usne fir apna koi dimaag nahi lagaaya. She just needed to escape. Freya ki baat maan woh turant hi bhaag ke baahar ki orr nikli. Baahar jo do guards the woh jaag rahe the. Poori tarah active aur chaukanne toh nahi the lekin jaag rahe the.

Unn par bhi apni same tactic apnaate hue unhe behoshi ki haalat me chorr Garofano police station se faraar ho chuki thi.

Magar, uske bhaagte hi CCTVs waalo ne dekh liya tha. Afra tafri mach chuki thi. Garofano ko ek prison escapee ka darja de diya gaya tha. Tamaam stations me alert jaari kar diya gaya tha.

Idhar woh bhaagte hue bas yaha se dur jaati jaa rahi thi. Use iss waqt ek hi vyakti ke paas pahuchna tha. Aur woh tha ~

Li Renshu!!!

***

Sichuan Province, Panzhihua,
Li Renshu's house,
Night - 3:18 AM~

"Hmm! Toh ye baat hai. This is serious!!!"

Veer ne ek gehre chintan ke baad kaha. Kuch derr pehle Renshu ne use kaafi kuch bata diya tha. Woh unhi ke baare me soch raha tha.

Kuch derr pehle...

Renshu : Aur, isliye akhir me Long Tribe iss faisle se raazi hui thi.

Veer : I got the picture now.

Renshu ke chehre par bhaav tabhi achanak se gambheer ho gaye.

Renshu (frowns) : But the picture has changed now.

Veer : Huh!!???

Renshu : Maine tumhe bataya tha na ki Xishuangbana me ek mukhya Tribe thi.

Veer : Long Tribe!?

Renshu : Hmm! Aur tumhe ye bataya tha ki unhe mine ka 1/10th hissa diya gaya tha.

Veer (nods) : Haan!

Renshu : Well, toh ab dikkat ye hai ki Long Tribe ne mine ka ab 1/10th nahi balki poora aadha hissa apne qabze me kar liya hai.

Veer : What!? Kaise? A-Aur bhala kyu? Government kya kar rahi thi?

Renshu : Batata hu. Jaise mere pita jii ne Long Tribe aur government ke beech ek agreement karwaya tha. Kuch wesa hi mene bhi kuch saal pehle kiya tha. Agreement toh nahi par mene, mere aadmiyo ne aur Long Tribe ke logo ne milke ek alliance banayi thi.

Veer : Alliance?

Renshu : That's right!

Erica : Aur uss Alliance ka naam tha ~ The Order of the Legion.

Veer : Huh???

Renshu : Erica sahi keh rahi hai. Iss naam se hamari alliance ko banaya gaya tha. Ye ek muh bola samjhauta tha. Dono ke hit ke liye.

Veer : Aur iss Alliance ka purpose kya tha?

Renshu : Jangal aur mine, dono ka protection.

Veer : Fir Long Tribe apni baato se mukar kyu gayi?

Renshu : Uspe hi aa raha hu. Par, unke mukarne se alliance zaroor bikhar gayi. Ab do pehlu bann chuke the. Ek unka apna pehlu aur ek hamara.

Veer : ....

Renshu : The Order of the Legion do bhaago me batt gaya. Ek bann gaya, 'The Order' jo ki mere haatho me hai.




Renshu : Aur dusra Long Tribe ka ho chuka tha ~ 'The Legion.'




Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Ab tumhare pehle sawal par aate hai ki government kya kar rahi thi jab Long Tribe ne ye sab qabze me lena shuru kiya. Right?

Veer : Haan!

Renshu : Aur ye ki Long Tribe apne iss alliance se mukar kyu gayi. Hai na?

Veer (nods) : Haan!

Renshu : Jaise mein 'Order' ka Lord maana jaata hu. Wese hi...

Veer : ???

Renshu : Long Tribe ka bhi ek Lord hai. The Lord of the 'Legion.' Also known as The Ghost of Xishuangbanna. And also known as ~ Jaw Long!!!

Veer : Jaw Long!!!?

Renshu ne gambheerta me uski aankhon me aankhein daalte hue dekha aur fir ahista se kaha,

Renshu : Aur sanchhipt me kahu toh- Hamari hi tarah... Ek system owner!!!

*Badump*

Baaki baato se Veer ko itni hairani nahi hui thi, jitni ye akhiri baat ko sunn ke hui thi. Ek aur system owner. Kya chal raha tha yaha? Mines? Tribes? Agreements? Mr. Nicholson ka murder?

Renshu : Aur, ab mein tumse puchta hu. Kya tum hamari madad karoge???

Sawaal kisi bade se patthar ki tarah aake Veer ke upar gira. Uske haan kehte hi woh jaanta tha ki woh apne aap ko kinn anjaan khatarnaak jokhimo me daalne waala tha. Kitne gehre daldal uska intezar kar rahe the.

Renshu aur Erica dono ki nazre uske upar tiki hui thi. Abhi bhi samay tha. Agar woh chaahe toh apne aap ko peeche kheech sakta tha. Akhir, ant me uske liye sabse aham uska parivar hi the. Bewajah kisi jokhim me jaana murkhta hi thi. Woh Renshu ke favor ko kinhi aur tareeqo se bhi chuka sakta tha.

Par dono baap beti uske jawaab ka intezar kar rahe the. Aur, usne kuch derr baad apna muh khola,

Veer : Mein...

[Prince 143]

Update - 169 ~ Dispute and Escape ​

Ab tak...

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.

“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’

*Ding*

[No information available.]

Ab aage...

Alaukik saundarya!

Kya hi khubsoorti thi. Veer ne apne jeevan me na jaane kitni hi sundar stree dekhi hongi par woh har baar ye sochne par vivash ho jaata tha ki akhir ek hi sansaar me itna saundarya kaise ho sakta tha? Aur, akhir kitna abhi dekhna baaki tha?

Itna dekhne ke baad bhi ye khatam hone ka naam nahi le raha. Kitni sundar streeyaan abhi aur iss sansaar me hongi? Itna kuch dekhne ke baad bhi uska kabhi inse mann kyu nahi bhara? Woh hamesha hi inn sawaalo ke bavandar me fass jaata tha. Aur, aaj bhi yahi hua.

China
Sichuan Province, Panzhihua
Morning ~ 2:20 AM

Veer ki nazre saamne khadi laal rang ki nighty pehne uss khubsoorat ladki par tiki hui thi. Gori makhmali twacha, harr ang me sampann maans, laal sundar honth aur badi badi kaali kajraari aankhein.

Woh bhi Veer ko upar se neeche tak dekh rahi thi. Zaahir hai jaise Veer ne use check kiya tha wese hi usne bhi Veer ko check kar liya tha. Kya iss ladki ko ye nahi pata tha ki Renshu ne yaha par use bulaaya hai? Aur, agar pata tha toh woh iss tarah use rok kyu rahi thi?

Aadha minute tak toh dono ek dusre ka bas aaklan hi karte rahe. Dono kuch nahi bole. Kuch shan baad Veer ke mann me ladki ki kahi gayi baat punah goonji.

‘Who allowed you to trespass Mister?’

Veer ne use dekhte hue fir uske prashn ka uttar diya,

Veer : I was invited here.

Ladki : I know that…! Woh envelope mene hi banaya tha.

Veer : Huh!?

Veer ke mann me turant hi uss envelope ki chhavi bann ke haazir hui. Kuch derr pehle hi usne woh envelope Driver ko diya tha. Toh iska matlab uss envelope ko iss ladki ne banaya tha? Yaani ye Renshu ki hi taraf thi?

Ab Veer ko samajh aaya ki envelope ki style bhala itni ladkiyo ki tarah kyu thi. Usme itne phool patte kyu bane hue the. Itni sajawat se koi ladki hi use taiyaar kar sakti thi. Aur, woh yaha soch raha tha ki Renshu ka taste ladkiyo waala tha.

Ye jaan ke use thodi raahat mili ki Renshu uss kism ka nahi tha. Parantu, ye ladki kaun thi jo system hone ke bawajood Renshu ke hit ke liye kaam kar rahi thi?

Veer : Toh jab envelope tumne hi banaya hai toh tumhe ye bhi pata hona chahiye ki mujhe woh envelope deke yaha par invite kiya gaya hai.

Ladki : Haan! Janti hu!

Veer : What the-!? Jab jaanti ho toh rok kyu rahi ho?

Ladki : Invite kiya hai Mister. Iska matlab ye thodi hai ki tum seedhe ghuste hue andar chale aaoge. Kya tumhe iss property ke maalik ne permission di?

Woh bauhe upar chadhaate hue uss se puchi.

Veer : What the hell!? Kya woh driver Renshu ne nahi bheja mere liye? Usi ne mujhse baahar kaha ki aap andar jaa sakte hai. Aur-

Ladki : Shut up!!!!

Veer : Huh!?

Ladki : How dare you-!???

Veer : ???

Ladki : Kya kaha tumne? Renshu??? Huh??

Veer : Kya ye ghar Renshu ka nahi!?

Veer jaise jaise ‘Renshu’ kehta jaa raha tha, ladki ka gussa utna hi badhta jaa raha tha.

Ladki : Zubaan sambhaal ke Mister!

Veer : Hmm???

Ladki : Renshi nahi!! It’s ‘Lord Renshu’!!

Veer : What the-!!!

[Huh? Is she delusional or what? Lord Renshu?? Pfft~ Wahahaha! What a joke!]

Veer (frowns) : Aur tumhari tareef?

Ladki : Naam batana mein zaroori nahi samajhti.

[Narcissist! Hmm~]

Pari ne ek shabd me hi saamne khadi ladki ko define kar diya. Narcissist woh log hote the jo apne aap ko bahut upar samajhte the. Veer bas uss ladki ko dekhta raha. Woh iss waqt uss se muh ladaane ke chakkar me nahi tha. Soorat bhale kitni hi acchi kyu na ho, andar ki khubsoorti se hi insaan ko parakhna chahiye. Ye baat Veer ek baar fir jaan gaya tha.

Ladki : Follow me!!!

Veer : …

Bina Veer ki taraf dobaara dekh woh ladki be-mann se seedha palat ke andar jaane lagi aur idhar majbooran Veer ko uska peecha karna pada.

Andar se ye siheyuan ghar kayi guna bada tha. Modern equipments aur machines ke saath saath puraani cheezo se bhi ghar saja hua tha. Jagah jagah sugandhit candles aur laalten se kona kona raushan tha. Lights bhi lagi hui thi par harr jagah candles aur sirf laalten hi jal rahi thi.




[Looks like Renshu ko modern lights pasand nahi.]

‘Maybe!’

[Wese ye candle lights bhi buri nahi. What do you say? Tum, mein aur candle light dinner? Hmm? Fufu~]

‘Shut up!’

[Oh dear! You are so unromantic.]

Veer chup chaap bas apne saamne ladki ki chaal ka peecha kar raha tha. Aur, harr baar khud ko yahi yaad dila raha tha ki zaroori nahi hai ki har sundar ladki ke paas sundar dil ho. Woh chalte chalte agal bagal ghar ko bhi dekhte jaa raha tha. Ghar antiques se bhi bhara pada tha. Na jaane kitne karodo ki sampatti toh inhi antiques ki thi.

Woh harr cheez ko check bhi karta jaa raha tha aur use harr cheez ki ek anumaanit keemat jaanane ko mil rahi thi. Woh ek baat samajh gaya tha ki Renshu ke paas atyadhik paisa tha. Isme koi shaq waali baat hi nahi.

Parantu, wahi akela system owner nahi tha. Ek system owner kya karta hai aisi sthiti me ye baat saamne chal rahi woh ladki bhi bhali bhaati jaanti thi. Isliye, woh bina palte hi chalte chalte Veer se boli,

Ladki : Mind your own business. Kaha par kya rakha hai, kya cheez hai tumhe check karne ki zaroorat nahi. You are a guest so, behave like one.

Veer ki bauhe ye sunn kass uthi.

Ye ladki…! Kitni irritating thi. Ye Pari bhi samajh gayi thi. Magar, galti uski bhi thi. Woh aam jagaho par aisa kar sakta tha. Par, yaha par woh system owners ke beech me tha. Aur, unke ghar ki cheezo ko check karna kahi na kahi theek nahi tha.

Usne idhar udhar dekhna band kiya aur saamne chal rahi ladki ki patli kamar ko dekh aage badhta raha. Par, abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab woh ladki achanak se ruki aur sarr mod peeche Veer ko gusse me dekhi.

Veer : Huh?

Uske rukte hi Veer bhi ruk gaya.

Ladki (grits) : I told you to mind your own business. Didn’t I?

‘What the-!?’

[Use pata lag gaya hai ki tum uske badan ko peeche se ghoor rahe the.]

‘Don’t tell me-’

[Haan! Koi skill hogi uske paas. Beware! Tumhe itni hi garmi chadhi hai then talk to me darling~ Why bother her? Mein hu na tumhare liye. Call me ‘Mommy’ and then I will-]

‘Shut up!!!’

Ek baar punah Pari ko shaant karwate hue Veer aage badha. Iss baar uski nazre neeche thi. Na hi uss ladki par aur na hi aas paas rakhi cheezon par.



Woh dono seedhiyo ka istemal kar ek floor upar aaye aur ek kamre ki orr badhne lage. Andar aate hi Veer ne dekha ki kamra andar se kaafi bada tha. Uski nazar turant hi saamne ki orr gayi.

Saamne ek decorative ping-feng rakha hua tha.



Ping-feng darasal woh lakdi ka furniture hota tha jise fold kiya jaa sakta tha. Ise kamre ko do bhaag me baatne ke liye istemal kiya jaata tha. Bas, ise khol ke beecho beech rakhna hota tha aur ye sundar si dikhne waali screen kamre ko do hisso me baant deti thi.

Iska istemal aksar chinese parivar kara karte the. Aur toh aur iska upyog kapde badalne ki screen ki tarah bhi kiya jaata tha. Ye ek barrier ya deewaar ki tarah kaam karta tha.

Yaha par bhi Veer ke saamne maujood ye ping-feng ek screen ki tarah hi kaam kar raha tha. Kyuki, ping-feng ke uss taraf use kisi insaan ki parchhaayi nazar aa rahi thi. Koi peeche kapde badal raha tha.

Ladki : I’m here, Dad!

Veer : Hmm?

Dad?? Veer ke mann me kuch sawaal paida hue. Par iske pehle ki woh inke jawaab khoj paata saamne se ek aadmi ping-feng ke baahar nikal ke aaya. Uski oonchi kad-kaathi dekh Veer ki aankhein chaudi ho gayi aur use uske sawaal ka jawaab bhi mil gaya.

Li Renshu!!!

Renshu : Mere ghar me tumhara swaagat hai, Veer!!!

Uski bhaari bharkam awaaz kamre me goonj gayi. Renshu pichli baar ki hi tarah dikhayi pad raha tha. Lambi lambi daadhi aur baal, bhara hua shareer. Toh wahi, Veer ke bagal se khadi ladki ko bhi akhir Veer ka naam pata chal gaya. Ye wahi ladki thi jo kuch din pehle Renshu se baat kar rahi thi. Renshu ki apni beti. Yahi woh ladki thi jise Veer ke envelope kholne par turant hi uska abhaas ho gaya tha.

Veer : Y-Ye-!? Ye tumhari beti hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Kyu?

Par Veer ke jawaab dene se pehle hi Renshu ki beti tapaak se bol padi,

Ladki : Hmph~ Mujhe toh laga tha tumhari ‘hindi’ bhaasha me ‘aap’ aur ‘tum’ ka alag alag mehatv hai. Par, lagta hai tum jaise ladko ko uska sahi se istemaal karna nahi aata. Itni bhi samajh nahi hai ki kaha par kise ‘aap’ kehna hai? Aur kise ‘tum’? Stupid!!!

Veer : ???

Veer use thoda ghoor ke dekha jaise samajhna chaah raha ho ki akhir ye ladki chaahti kya thi uss se? Kahi na kahi use itna andaza lag gaya tha ki ye ladki apne pita ki taraf behad hi wafadar, aagyakari aur aadarkari thi. Par, use kuch bhi kehne ki zaroorat nahi padi kyuki turant hi Renshu ki oonchi awaaz ne waha sabko shaant kar diya.

Renshu (yells) : Ericaaaaa!!!!!

Aur, apne pita ki oonchi awaaz sunn, Erica turant hi seham gayi. Sarr jhukaate hue usne fauran hi kaha,

Erica : Sorry Dad!

Renshu : Veer hamara mehman hai. Koi karzdaar nahi.

Erica : Kya woh favor karz nahi the Dad? Akhir humne inki jaan jo bachaayi thi.

Woh Veer ki taraf dekhte hue muh fula kar boli.

Renshu : Woh mera aur Veer ke beech ka mamla hai. Maine uski madad ki thi. Aur, woh meri madad karne ke liye aaj yaha par hai. Ek system owner ka dusre system owner ki madad karna hi sahi karm hai. Ye baat tum acche se jaanti ho. Ahinda se hamare mehmaano ki khatirdari me mujhe tumhari taraf se koi bhi kami mehsoos nahi honi chahiye.

Erica (sarr jhukate hue) : Y-Yes Dad! Par, inn mister se bhi keh dijiye ki ye aap ko aapke naam se na bulaaye. Aap yaha ke ‘Lord’ ho Dad. Nobody is stronger than you. Aur, inko bhi izzat karte aana chahiye. Aur-

Renshu : Veer jo chaahe mujhe bula sakta hai. Use inn formalities me shamil hone ki koi zaroorat nahi.

Erica (baffled) : Wh-Whaaatttt???

Woh ekdum stabdh thi. Kabhi bhi uske Dad ne apne se itni chhoti umr waale ladke ko aisi azaadi nahi di thi. Fir, Veer ko kaise? Akhir, aisi kya khaas baat thi iss ladke me?

Woh apne daant meeste hue Veer ko dekhi. Apne pita ke liye uska sammaan aseem tha. Harr aadmi uske pita ke saamne sarr jhukata tha. Yaha tak ki China ki apni government ke officials bhi uske saamne izzat se pesh aate the. Kisi ki majaal nahi thi ki uske Dad ke saamne koi oonchi awaaz me baat kar sake. Toh, fir ye ladka kaun tha? Bhala ise itni chhooth kyu mili hui thi?

Veer toh mann hi mann prafullit ho raha tha. Akhir, iss ladki ko apni kadwi dawayi ka swaad mil hi gaya. Erica jaise hi Veer ki orr dekhi, Veer ek kapti muskaan liye use hi dekh raha tha.

Veer : Heh~

Erica (gusse me) : Wha-!!?? Y-You- You freaking-!!!

Renshu : Hamare mehmaan ke liye ek garma garam chai banao Erica! Aao, Veer!

Kehte hue woh kamre ke daayi taraf chal diya jaha baithak bani hui thi. Aur, uske saath saath hi Veer bhi peeche peeche badh gaya. Par, Erica ko toh aaj jaise jhatke par jhatke lag rahe the.

Erica : Wh-What?? M-Mein? Chai banau? Aur, iske liye?

Renshu ne jab palat ke prashn bhari nazro se use ghoora toh woh turant hi apni nazre churaate hue haami bhari,

Erica : L-Laati hu!

Aur, waha se baayi orr badh wahi par lage ek induction chulhe me bartan rakh woh paani bhar usme chai chadhaane lagi.

Renshu ne Veer ko neeche baithaya. Neeche ek soft sa cushion baithne ke liye bana hua tha. Woh bhi apni jagah par Veer ke saamne baitha. Gol akaar ki table jiski height lagbhag 30 cm hogi unn dono ke beech maujood thi aur kamra laalten aur mombattiyo se raushan tha.

Renshu : Aane me koi taqleef toh nahi hui na?

Veer : Nahi! Bas, raasta thoda lamba tha. Ye poori property tumhari hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!

Veer : Great!!

Renshu : Tum soch rahe hoge ki bhala aisi jagah par mujhe property kaise mil gayi? Ye ilaaka toh jangal se lagta hai aur dekha jaaye toh iss par sarkaar ka haq hai. Hai na?

Veer (nods) : Right! Baahar jab mein car se utra tha toh mere dimaag me sabse pehle yahi aaya tha.

Renshu : Uske peeche bhi ek lambi kahani hai. Mere pita ji ne shuru se hi China ke liye bahut kuch kiya hai. Iss zameen par reh ke unhone bahut kuch China ke liye daav pe lagaya hai.

Veer : Ohh!

Renshu : Saral aur kam shabdo me kahu toh… Dekho Veer! Idhar dekho! Isme tumhe behtar se samajh me aayega.

Kehte hue usne saamne rakhi gol table par ek naksha pesh kiya jo ki China ka hi tha. Par, iss nakshe me China ke provinces me alag alag jangal jo maujood the woh aur bhi behtar dhang se nazar aa rahe the.

Renshu : Dekho Veer! Hum abhi Sichuan ke sheher Panzhihua ke baahri ilaake me maujood hai. Iske baad se Xishuangbanna ka jangal lagna shuru ho jaata hai.

Woh nakshe par apni ungli rakh Veer ko sab kuch acche se samjha raha tha. Aur Veer bhi bade hi dhyaan se sab kuch samajh raha tha. Toh wahi chai bana rahi Erica dur se hi muh fula ke Veer ko apne mann me khari khoti suna rahi thi. Aur, uska saath nibha rahi thi uski apni system~

Genesis!!!

‘Ye bewakoof ladka! Hmph! Zara bhi respect nahi hai isme. Akhir Dad ne kya dekh liya isme?’

[Mujhe nahi pata. But He’s handsome hehe!]

‘Tum handsome ladko ke alawa kuch aur sochti bhi ho ya nahi?’

[Sochti hu na!!]

‘Aur woh kya hai madam???’

[Ek strong aur powerful man! Ahhh~]

‘Shut up!!! Jab dekho tab bas strong powerful handsome man ki ratt lagayi rehti ho. Hum ladkiya bhi strong hoti hai.’

[Yes! But in the end… A woman always longs for a powerful and handsome man.]

‘Hmph! Tumhari ideology mujhe nahi samajh aati.’

[Ek na ek din samajh jaogi tum bhi.]

‘Aur kya pata? Kaho ye mister mujhse bhi fisaddi nikle? I think I can take him on.’

[Ye bhul mat karna. Never judge a system owner without finding out his abilities. Woh koi aam insaan nahi hai. He’s also a system owner like you. Koi baat hogi usme jo tumhare Dad ne uss par trust kar ke use invitation bheja. Ye baat tum bhi acche se jaanti ho ki tumhare Dad trust ko leke kitne sakht hai.]

‘Th-That’s right! Dad bina wajah iss tarah kisi par bhi trust nahi karte.’

[Yes! Aur, isliye tumhe kisi ko bhi halke me nahi lena hai. It’s better to be safe than sorry.]

‘Theek hai! Agar mein uss se lad nahi sakti toh kam se kam use aazma toh sakti hu.’

[Aur ek baat! Usne uss Crimson ko maara hai. Ye bhi yaad rakhna.]

‘Toh? Humne kaha uss Crimson ko dekha hai? Dad se hi suna tha jitna suna tha. Hume toh ye bhi nahi pata ki akhir woh kitna taqatwar tha. Tum khamakha Veer ko chane ke jhaad par chadha rahi ho.’

[Just listen to me and don’t fuck with him.]

‘Alright! Alright! But tum befaltu hi darr rahi ho Genie! Dad se strong koi nahi hai. Woh hamara kuch nahi kar sakta.’

Uski baat par uski pyaari Genie yaani ki Genesis ne koi jawaab nahi diya.

‘Aur isko toh mein ab batati hu. Mere upar hass raha tha huh? Let’s see how he laughs after this.’

[Tum kya soch rahi ho ab?]

Erica ne chai bana li thi. Usne Renshu aur apni chai pehle hi chhaan ke nikal li aur bachi hui chai me usne-

[What the hell? Kya kar rahi ho tum? Are you testing his patience? Mene abhi tumhe samjhaya tha ki don’t fuck with him. Hum abhi uske baare me theek se-]

‘Hehe! Don’t worry! Erica ka koi uske saamne mazak banaye ye Erica ko pasand nahi. Tum dekho bas ab-!!!’

Woh dono aapas me mann me hi khusur pusur karti rahi aur idhar Renshu sab kuch vistaar me Veer ko samjha raha tha.

Renshu : Sichuan ke neeche hi Yunnan Province lagta hai Veer. Nakshe me dekh ke tumhe samajh aa raha hoga.




Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Renshu : Yunnan me hi Xishuangbanna asal me sthit hai. China ka sabse bada jangal. Lekin, uss jangal ka baahri hissa yahi se lagna shuru ho jaata hai.

Veer : Okay!

Renshu : Baat kuch saal pehle ki hai. Xishuangbanna kyuki ek jangal hai toh tum ye jaante hi hoge ki jangalo me tribal log raha karte hai.

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Ye baat Veer jaanta tha. Harr jangal me kahi na kahi aadivaasi log rehte hi the. Alag alag tribes se hote hue woh jangalo me hi apna ghar, apna samaaj, apne niyam, apne qaayde sab kuch bana liya karte the.

Renshu : Uss samay bhi ek tribe waha raha karti thi. Jangal ke paas hi tab kahi se pata laga tha ki waha par ek mine ki khoj ki gayi hai.

Veer : Mine!?

Renshu : Hmm! Elements se bhari mine.

Veer (frowns) : Kaise elements?

Renshu : Kayi saare. Mines me keval ek element nahi hota Veer. Khodne par na jaane kya kya mil sakta hai. Aur, uss samay kuch metals mile the. Kuch elements bhi jo ki-

Veer : Jo ki?

Renshu : Radioactive the.

Veer (surprised) : Ek radioactive mine!?



Veer chakit tha. Radioactive mine koi aam mine nahi thi. Ye woh mines hoti thi jaha par radiation bhi paaya jaata tha. Iska matlab saaf tha ki mine me radioactive elements bhi maujood the. Aise me uss mine ki kya ahamiyat thi, ye Veer anumaan laga liya tha.

Renshu : Ab agar aise me mine ki khoj hoti hai. Toh tumhe kya lagta hai? Woh jagah kiske haq me jaani chahiye?

Veer : Government ke?

Renshu (nods) : Exactly! Lekin, shuruati daur me aisa hua nahi tha. Tumhe pata hai kyu?

Veer : Kyuki, jangal ke tribal log iss se taiyaar nahi the.

Renshu (nods) : Bilkul sahi! Unke anusaar jangal unki apni zameen thi. Mine agar government ke haatho me di… toh mine par jaane ke liye aane jaane ka raasta bhi dena padta. Tribal log ye kabhi nahi chaahte the ki unke ilaake me koi bhi baahri vyakti aaye din dakhal de.

Veer : Fir?

Renshu : Yahi par fir mere pita ji kahani me aate hai. Woh ek forest ranger the aur Tribal logo ki boli bhaasha se bahut acche se parichit the. Woh unhe samajhte the aur unse baat kiya karte the. Wahi the jinhone iss samjhaute ko karwaya tha.

Veer : Ohh!!

Renshu : Hmm! Aur, unhi ke itne saare yogdan ki wajah se pita jii ko uss samay yaha ye zameen dii gayi thi.

Veer : Jo ki kaafi badi zameen hai.

Renshu : Government ke liye kya zyada zaroori tha uss samay? Ye kuch acres ki zameen ya fir radioactive elements se ladi ek mine?

Veer : Hmm! Agar iss tarah rakha jaaye toh harr baat sense banaati hai. I see!

Renshu : Hmm! Aur, pita ji ke jaane ke baad ye zameen fir mere naam hui. Ab mein yaha ka maalik hu.

Veer : So that’s how it is!!

Woh dono abhi baat hi kar rahe the jab unke baayi orr se Erica ki awaaz aayi, “Chai taiyaar hai!”

Woh ek tray me chinese cups me chai bhar unke paas aayi aur tray ko neeche table par rakh di. Tray se ek cup uthaate hue usne sabse pehle apne Dad ko chai serve ki aur uske baad Veer ke liye ek cup uthaate hue badi si muskaan apne hontho par bikhere uske nazdeek aayi.

Erica : I’m sorry for my behavior. Dad se koi bhi iss tarah baat karta hai toh mujhe bas accha nahi lagta. I hope tum mujhe maaf kar doge?

Uske iss ravaiyye par Renshu khush hua aur muskuraya bhi. Toh wahi Veer bhi dobaara se uske baare me sochne par vivash ho gaya. Ye ladki itni buri bhi nahi thi.

Veer : It’s okay!

Usne haami bhar khushi khushi Erica ke haatho se chai ka cup liya. Sabhi apni apni jagah virajman the. Erica bhi ek cushion leke unke hi bagal se baith gayi thi. Renshu ne haath se ishaara kar Veer ko aage badhne ko kaha. Sharmane ki zaroorat nahi thi. Veer ne bhi cup me garam garam chai ko ek do baar foonk maar ke ghooth liya.

Aur tabhi-

‘Huh!!???’

Uska muh andar hi andar itni kass ke sikuda. Woh mann me hi cheenkh pada.

‘Fucking bitchhhhhh!!!!!’

Chai me cheeni nahi balki… namak maujood tha.

Uss swaad ko shabdo me bayaa nahi kiya jaa sakta tha. Itna wahiyaat tha. Idhar Veer ki haalat ek ghooth pee ke hi khasta thi toh wahi dusri orr Renshu chai ki chuski lete hue uske swaad par muskura raha tha.

Renshu : Chai acchi bani hai Erica! Hamare mehman India se hai. Aur, tumne iss chai se bilkul bhi niraash nahi kiya. Kyu hai na Veer? Kaisi lagi?

Kaisi lagi? Yeh chai bechaare Veer ke gale nahi utar rahi thi. Jaise darr ke maare gaand sikud jaaya karti thi kuch usi tarah abhi Veer ke gaal the jo andar se sikude hue the. Use ab sab samajh aa chuka tha. Erica ne ye sab jaan boojh ke kiya tha. Woh uss se apna badla le rahi thi. Cup par uski pakad mazboot ho gayi. Par, apne chehre par usne koi bhaav aane nahi diye. Iss ladki ko toh wo baad me dekh lega.

Veer : Ahaha! B-Bahut acchi hai! *nods* Waqai!

Idhar uska reaction dekh Erica mann hi mann thahaake maar rahi thi. Aur, jaise jataane ki koshish kar rahi thi ki woh koi aeri-geri ladki nahi balki Li Renshu ki beti thi.

Kahi na kahi ek zaroori aur aham baat bhi Veer ne apne mann me baitha li thi. Li Renshu aur uski beti Li Erica… Dono ke paas system tha. Toh kya woh iss waqt saare system owners me se sabse zyada taqatwar nahi the? Akhir, woh do log the. Baap aur beti! Do system owners ka ek saath hona. Koi bhi unhe halke me nahi le sakta tha.

Chai ko kuch derr side rakhte hue Veer ne Renshu ki taraf dekha aur kaha,

Veer : Mere kuch sawaal hai.

Renshu : Hmm! Pucho!

Veer : Sabse pehla sawaal ye hai ki police ya government ne tribal people ke khilaaf kuch kiya kyu nahi? Mine jaisi cheez hamesha government ke hisse me hi aati hai. Toh agar government chaahti toh tribal logo ko zabardasti bhi toh jangal se nikaal sakti thi na?

Renshu : Hmm! Accha sawaal hai. Aur, iska jawaab hai~ Nahi! Government aisa nahi kar sakti thi. Kyu? Uska kaaran batata hu.

Veer : ???

Renshu : Veer, Xishuangbanna jangal kareeban 20,000 square kilometers me faila hua hai. Jangal bada hai. Chhota mota nahi.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Mene tumhe kuch derr pehle tribes ke baare me bataya tha.

Veer : Yahi ki jangal me tribes ke log raha karte the!?

Renshu : Hmm! Par, unme se ek tribe mukhya thi jiski jansankhya bhi baakiyo se kahi adhik thi. Aur, woh tribe thi~ Long!

Veer : Long?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! ‘Long’ Tribe. Sabse khatarnak aur sabse ladaaku tribe. Jaadu totke, janvaro ko niyantrit karna, inn sab me bahut aage rehti thi.

Veer : Oh!?

Renshu : Jangal bahut ghana hai. Aise me jab jab Long tribe ke logo ko zabardasti apne ilaake ko dene ki baat kahi jaati thi toh tribe ke log hamesha ladne par utar aate the. Yaha tak ki ek-do logo ko jaan se maar bhi diya tha unhone. Tribe itni khatarnaak thi ki government khoon kharaabe par nahi utar sakti thi.

Veer : !!!??

Renshu : Ye sach hai! Isliye, mere pita ji ke dwara karwaya gaya ye samjhauta bahut hi upar maana jaata hai. Aur, unka naam aaj bhi aadar se liya jaata hai.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Koi aur sawaal?

Veer : Hmm! Dusra sawaal! Ye samjhauta akhir aise hi toh hua nahi hoga? Itni asaani se kaise maan gaye Long Tribe ke log? Sirf agar baato se hi manana tha toh pehle hi maan jaate? Tumhare pita ji ke aane se aisa kya hua?

Renshu Veer ke prashn par muskuraya aur use kuch derr dekha.

Renshu (smiles) : Mein sahi tha jo tumhe invitation diya.

Erica : Huh??

Bagal me baithi Erica jo ab tak table par apne dono haath tikaaye dono ke vartalaap ko dhyaan se sunn rahi thi woh firse apne Dad ko Veer ki taraf rujhaan rakhte dekh hairan reh gayi. Cheenkh cheenkh ke khud se yahi sawaal karti ki ~ Akhir iss ladke me aisa tha kya???

Renshu : Tum sahi ho Veer! Samjhauta aise hi nahi hua tha. Ek agreement kiya gaya tha. Jo ki abhi bhi kaagzo me maujood hai government aur Long tribe ke paas bhi.

Veer : Agreement?

Renshu : Hmm! Agreement jo mere pita jii ne karwaya tha. Aur, agreement ye tha ki ~ Mine desh ki bhoomi ka hissa hai jisme anokhe padaarth maujood hai. Zaahir hai uss par desh ki sarkaar ka hi haq hoga. Aur, jangal me Long tribe ho ya koi bhi tribe, iss par rok nahi laga sakti. Akhir, ye sabhi ke hit ke liye hai.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Lekin, government ko sirf aur sirf mine aur uss tak jaane ki hi access di jayegi. Woh baaki jangal me tribes ke log ya unke ilaake me hastakshep nahi kar sakte the.

Veer (frowns) : Aur Long Tribe iss se raazi ho gayi? Tumne abhi toh bataya tha na ki tribal log ye kabhi nahi chaahenge ki unke ilaake se koi bhi raasta banaya jaaye aur baahri vyakti-

Renshu : Pehle sunn toh lo poori baat.

Veer : !!?

Renshu : Of course! Shuruat me Long Tribe iss se bilkul bhi raazi nahi thi. Aur, yahi pe aata hai iss agreement ka second point.

Veer : Huh???

Renshu : For the allowance of transportation and ease of conduct from the tribal people, Long Tribe will be accorded 1/10th portion of the mine excluding the radioactive region. Ye tha second point.

Veer ki aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Veer : I-Iska matlab-!?

Renshu (nods) : Tumne sahi samjha. Mine ka 1/10th hissa Long Tribe ko de diya gaya tha.

Veer : Magar, Tribe ke logo ke liye woh mine kis kaam ki bhala?

Renshu : Ek aur accha sawaal. Veer, mujhe ye batao ki aam aadmi ko kis cheez ki sabse zyada zaroorat hoti hai? Koi aisi cheez jiske bina aam aadmi zindagi guzaar nahi sakta par tribal ke log araam se jee sakte hai.

Veer : Paisa!?

Renshu (smiles) : Ekdum sahi! Toh aise me Long Tribe ko fir kya chahiye tha? Paisa unka main maqsad nahi hai. Agar unhe paisa kamana hota toh woh jangalo me thodi reh rahe hote.

Veer : Hmm!

Veer apne hontho ko ek haath se chhipaaye ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Fir kuch derr baad bola,

Veer : Right! Jangalo me tribes rehti hai toh unke apne cultures hote hai. Mine ka istemal unke nazariye se kayi cheezo ke liye kiya jaa sakta tha. Jaise ki agar gold aur silver mine se milta hai toh uss se woh jwellery bana sakte hai. Koi aur metals milte hai toh woh unse bartan ya koi auzaar bhi bana sakte hai. Lekin, iske liye bhi toh unhe machines toh lagengi hi na? Woh ye sab akele kaise kar sakte hai?

Renshu : Old traditional method Veer.

Veer (surprised) : Unse ye aati hai?

Renshu : Maine tumse kaha tha ki Long Tribe bahut aage thi. Jaadu totke, maar dhaad, jaanvaro ko paalne ke alaawa ek ye kala bhi thi jisme woh maahir the.

Veer : I see! Agar, unse khud se ye sab banaate aata hai toh- ek prakaar se unhe fir paise ki zaroorat hi nahi. Woh saari suvidhaaye apne jangal me hi dhoondh sakte hai. Sheher jaane ki jo dependency thi woh-

Renshu : Samapt ho gayi.

Veer : Yeah!

Renshu : Aur, isliye akhir me Long Tribe iss faisle se raazi hui thi.

Veer : I got the picture now.

Renshu ke chehre par bhaav tabhi achanak se gambheer ho gaye.

Renshu (frowns) : But the picture has changed now.

Veer : Huh!!???

***

Heibei Province,
Beijing's Police station,
Morning - 3:08 AM~

Subah lag chuki thi parantu akaash me andhera hi chhaaya hua tha. Sooraj ko nikalne me abhi kaafi samay tha. Aur, itni raat gaye Beijing ke police station me police officers bhi apni night duty me kaam kam aur kharraate zyada le rahe the.

Night duty aksar ek bahaana hi hota tha unka. Ye toh bas bolne ki baat thi ki night duty kathin hoti thi. Asal sacchayi toh woh jaante the ki raat me khud qaidi bhi so jaaya karta tha. Risk kaafi kam hota tha. Aur, agar koi bhaagne ki firaaq me ho bhi toh- bhaagne me aksar asafal hi hota tha. 1-2% hi aise cases hote the jaha par qaidi faraar hone me qamyaab ho paata tha.

Yahi soch ke night duty me officers apni apni jagah liye kharraate le rahe the. Yaha tak ki jail me maujood qaidi bhi chenn ki neend me so rahe the. Siwae ek jann ke...

Ek khubsoorat si stree wahi jail ke ek cell me band thi. Patli si deewar se lagi hui patiya par woh baithi hui thi. Aur, apne hi vichaaro me leen thi.

Ye koi aur nahi Garofano hi thi jisko police ne apni giraft me le liya tha. Woh ab bhi samajh nahi paa rahi thi ki akhir ye sab ghatit kaise hua magar, abhi uss par dimaag kharch karne se behtar tha ye sochna ki yaha se baahar kaise nikla jaaye. Aur, isi ke liye Freya ki awaaz uske mann me turant hi goonj uthi,

[Kis cheez ka intezar kar rahi ho? This is the right moment. Do it.]

'Lekin, security cameras ka kya?'

[Pehle yaha se nikalna zaroori hai. Pehle ek step toh implement karo.]

'Hmm!'

Freya ki baat se Garofano raazi akhir ho hi gayi. Woh apni jagah se uthi aur aur salaakho ke paas aate hue usne awaaz lagaayi.

"Hello-!!!!"

"Hello!!???"

Woh lagataar unme se ek police officer ko bulaati rahi. Cell ki chaavi usi ke jeb me rakhi hui thi. Jaise tese kayi baar zorr se awaaz lagane ke baad woh officer apni neend se jaag hi gaya.

Officer : H-Huh!?? K-Kaun hai?

Uski aankhon se abhi bhi dhundhlapann hata nahi tha.

Garofano : Excuse me!?

Officer : H-Huh!!?? Kya hai?

Garofano : Yaha mere cell me paani khatam ho gaya hai. Peene ka paani mil sakta hai kya?

Uski iss request par Officer ne zyada kuch nahi socha. Bas sada sa muh banaate hue woh utha aur wahi table par rakhi usne ek paani ki bottle uthaayi aur Garofano ke cell ki orr badh gaya.

Paas aate hi usne jaise hi Garofano ko bottle thamaayi use achanak hi apne gale par kuch chubhan si hui. Kuch mehsoos hua. Par jab tak ki woh apna haath gardan par le jaake uss cheez ko dekh paata ki woh kya thi... Uski aankhon ke saamne andhera chhaa gaya aur woh dhadaam se neeche gir pada.

Uske neeche girte hi Garofano ne fatafat jhuk ke haath ko cell ke baahar le jaate hue uski pant ko tatola aur jeb me haath daalte hi cell ki chaavi uske haath me lag gayi.

Prison cell ke darwaaze ko kholte hue woh turant hi bahar aayi. Sab ke sab so rahe the. Par baahar maujood guard ke baare me kuch kaha nahi jaa sakta tha. Aur na hi CCTV operators ka jo cabin me baithe hue the.

'Step 1 done!'

[Time kam hai. Yaha khade nahi reh sakte. Run!!!]

'CCTVs ka kya? Usme toh sab kuch saaf saaf dikh gaya hoga.'

[Tumhara baahar aate bas record hua hoga. Apni skill use karte hue nahi. Don't worry. Just run!!]

'Par CCTVs se agar evidence mita de toh?'

[Very good! Tum yahi karti rehna. Agar woh log abhi hume dekh rahe ho toh? Woh jaag rahe ho toh? Ab tak unn logo ne kaho baaki officers ko complaint bhi kar di ho. Aur, tum yaha khadi rehna. Just run dear! We can handle this later.]

'Alright!'

Usne fir apna koi dimaag nahi lagaaya. She just needed to escape. Freya ki baat maan woh turant hi bhaag ke baahar ki orr nikli. Baahar jo do guards the woh jaag rahe the. Poori tarah active aur chaukanne toh nahi the lekin jaag rahe the.

Unn par bhi apni same tactic apnaate hue unhe behoshi ki haalat me chorr Garofano police station se faraar ho chuki thi.

Magar, uske bhaagte hi CCTVs waalo ne dekh liya tha. Afra tafri mach chuki thi. Garofano ko ek prison escapee ka darja de diya gaya tha. Tamaam stations me alert jaari kar diya gaya tha.

Idhar woh bhaagte hue bas yaha se dur jaati jaa rahi thi. Use iss waqt ek hi vyakti ke paas pahuchna tha. Aur woh tha ~

Li Renshu!!!

***

Sichuan Province, Panzhihua,
Li Renshu's house,
Night - 3:18 AM~

"Hmm! Toh ye baat hai. This is serious!!!"

Veer ne ek gehre chintan ke baad kaha. Kuch derr pehle Renshu ne use kaafi kuch bata diya tha. Woh unhi ke baare me soch raha tha.

Kuch derr pehle...

Renshu : Aur, isliye akhir me Long Tribe iss faisle se raazi hui thi.

Veer : I got the picture now.

Renshu ke chehre par bhaav tabhi achanak se gambheer ho gaye.

Renshu (frowns) : But the picture has changed now.

Veer : Huh!!???

Renshu : Maine tumhe bataya tha na ki Xishuangbana me ek mukhya Tribe thi.

Veer : Long Tribe!?

Renshu : Hmm! Aur tumhe ye bataya tha ki unhe mine ka 1/10th hissa diya gaya tha.

Veer (nods) : Haan!

Renshu : Well, toh ab dikkat ye hai ki Long Tribe ne mine ka ab 1/10th nahi balki poora aadha hissa apne qabze me kar liya hai.

Veer : What!? Kaise? A-Aur bhala kyu? Government kya kar rahi thi?

Renshu : Batata hu. Jaise mere pita jii ne Long Tribe aur government ke beech ek agreement karwaya tha. Kuch wesa hi mene bhi kuch saal pehle kiya tha. Agreement toh nahi par mene, mere aadmiyo ne aur Long Tribe ke logo ne milke ek alliance banayi thi.

Veer : Alliance?

Renshu : That's right!

Erica : Aur uss Alliance ka naam tha ~ The Order of the Legion.

Veer : Huh???

Renshu : Erica sahi keh rahi hai. Iss naam se hamari alliance ko banaya gaya tha. Ye ek muh bola samjhauta tha. Dono ke hit ke liye.

Veer : Aur iss Alliance ka purpose kya tha?

Renshu : Jangal aur mine, dono ka protection.

Veer : Fir Long Tribe apni baato se mukar kyu gayi?

Renshu : Uspe hi aa raha hu. Par, unke mukarne se alliance zaroor bikhar gayi. Ab do pehlu bann chuke the. Ek unka apna pehlu aur ek hamara.

Veer : ....

Renshu : The Order of the Legion do bhaago me batt gaya. Ek bann gaya, 'The Order' jo ki mere haatho me hai.




Renshu : Aur dusra Long Tribe ka ho chuka tha ~ 'The Legion.'




Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Ab tumhare pehle sawal par aate hai ki government kya kar rahi thi jab Long Tribe ne ye sab qabze me lena shuru kiya. Right?

Veer : Haan!

Renshu : Aur ye ki Long Tribe apne iss alliance se mukar kyu gayi. Hai na?

Veer (nods) : Haan!

Renshu : Jaise mein 'Order' ka Lord maana jaata hu. Wese hi...

Veer : ???

Renshu : Long Tribe ka bhi ek Lord hai. The Lord of the 'Legion.' Also known as The Ghost of Xishuangbanna. And also known as ~ Jaw Long!!!

Veer : Jaw Long!!!?

Renshu ne gambheerta me uski aankhon me aankhein daalte hue dekha aur fir ahista se kaha,

Renshu : Aur sanchhipt me kahu toh- Hamari hi tarah... Ek system owner!!!

*Badump*

Baaki baato se Veer ko itni hairani nahi hui thi, jitni ye akhiri baat ko sunn ke hui thi. Ek aur system owner. Kya chal raha tha yaha? Mines? Tribes? Agreements? Mr. Nicholson ka murder?

Renshu : Aur, ab mein tumse puchta hu. Kya tum hamari madad karoge???

Sawaal kisi bade se patthar ki tarah aake Veer ke upar gira. Uske haan kehte hi woh jaanta tha ki woh apne aap ko kinn anjaan khatarnaak jokhimo me daalne waala tha. Kitne gehre daldal uska intezar kar rahe the.

Renshu aur Erica dono ki nazre uske upar tiki hui thi. Abhi bhi samay tha. Agar woh chaahe toh apne aap ko peeche kheech sakta tha. Akhir, ant me uske liye sabse aham uska parivar hi the. Bewajah kisi jokhim me jaana murkhta hi thi. Woh Renshu ke favor ko kinhi aur tareeqo se bhi chuka sakta tha.

Par dono baap beti uske jawaab ka intezar kar rahe the. Aur, usne kuch derr baad apna muh khola,

Veer : Mein...

Khubsurat update hai,

 

[Rajesh]

Update - 169 ~ Dispute and Escape ​

Ab tak...

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.

“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’

*Ding*

[No information available.]

Ab aage...

Alaukik saundarya!

Kya hi khubsoorti thi. Veer ne apne jeevan me na jaane kitni hi sundar stree dekhi hongi par woh har baar ye sochne par vivash ho jaata tha ki akhir ek hi sansaar me itna saundarya kaise ho sakta tha? Aur, akhir kitna abhi dekhna baaki tha?

Itna dekhne ke baad bhi ye khatam hone ka naam nahi le raha. Kitni sundar streeyaan abhi aur iss sansaar me hongi? Itna kuch dekhne ke baad bhi uska kabhi inse mann kyu nahi bhara? Woh hamesha hi inn sawaalo ke bavandar me fass jaata tha. Aur, aaj bhi yahi hua.

China
Sichuan Province, Panzhihua
Morning ~ 2:20 AM

Veer ki nazre saamne khadi laal rang ki nighty pehne uss khubsoorat ladki par tiki hui thi. Gori makhmali twacha, harr ang me sampann maans, laal sundar honth aur badi badi kaali kajraari aankhein.

Woh bhi Veer ko upar se neeche tak dekh rahi thi. Zaahir hai jaise Veer ne use check kiya tha wese hi usne bhi Veer ko check kar liya tha. Kya iss ladki ko ye nahi pata tha ki Renshu ne yaha par use bulaaya hai? Aur, agar pata tha toh woh iss tarah use rok kyu rahi thi?

Aadha minute tak toh dono ek dusre ka bas aaklan hi karte rahe. Dono kuch nahi bole. Kuch shan baad Veer ke mann me ladki ki kahi gayi baat punah goonji.

‘Who allowed you to trespass Mister?’

Veer ne use dekhte hue fir uske prashn ka uttar diya,

Veer : I was invited here.

Ladki : I know that…! Woh envelope mene hi banaya tha.

Veer : Huh!?

Veer ke mann me turant hi uss envelope ki chhavi bann ke haazir hui. Kuch derr pehle hi usne woh envelope Driver ko diya tha. Toh iska matlab uss envelope ko iss ladki ne banaya tha? Yaani ye Renshu ki hi taraf thi?

Ab Veer ko samajh aaya ki envelope ki style bhala itni ladkiyo ki tarah kyu thi. Usme itne phool patte kyu bane hue the. Itni sajawat se koi ladki hi use taiyaar kar sakti thi. Aur, woh yaha soch raha tha ki Renshu ka taste ladkiyo waala tha.

Ye jaan ke use thodi raahat mili ki Renshu uss kism ka nahi tha. Parantu, ye ladki kaun thi jo system hone ke bawajood Renshu ke hit ke liye kaam kar rahi thi?

Veer : Toh jab envelope tumne hi banaya hai toh tumhe ye bhi pata hona chahiye ki mujhe woh envelope deke yaha par invite kiya gaya hai.

Ladki : Haan! Janti hu!

Veer : What the-!? Jab jaanti ho toh rok kyu rahi ho?

Ladki : Invite kiya hai Mister. Iska matlab ye thodi hai ki tum seedhe ghuste hue andar chale aaoge. Kya tumhe iss property ke maalik ne permission di?

Woh bauhe upar chadhaate hue uss se puchi.

Veer : What the hell!? Kya woh driver Renshu ne nahi bheja mere liye? Usi ne mujhse baahar kaha ki aap andar jaa sakte hai. Aur-

Ladki : Shut up!!!!

Veer : Huh!?

Ladki : How dare you-!???

Veer : ???

Ladki : Kya kaha tumne? Renshu??? Huh??

Veer : Kya ye ghar Renshu ka nahi!?

Veer jaise jaise ‘Renshu’ kehta jaa raha tha, ladki ka gussa utna hi badhta jaa raha tha.

Ladki : Zubaan sambhaal ke Mister!

Veer : Hmm???

Ladki : Renshi nahi!! It’s ‘Lord Renshu’!!

Veer : What the-!!!

[Huh? Is she delusional or what? Lord Renshu?? Pfft~ Wahahaha! What a joke!]

Veer (frowns) : Aur tumhari tareef?

Ladki : Naam batana mein zaroori nahi samajhti.

[Narcissist! Hmm~]

Pari ne ek shabd me hi saamne khadi ladki ko define kar diya. Narcissist woh log hote the jo apne aap ko bahut upar samajhte the. Veer bas uss ladki ko dekhta raha. Woh iss waqt uss se muh ladaane ke chakkar me nahi tha. Soorat bhale kitni hi acchi kyu na ho, andar ki khubsoorti se hi insaan ko parakhna chahiye. Ye baat Veer ek baar fir jaan gaya tha.

Ladki : Follow me!!!

Veer : …

Bina Veer ki taraf dobaara dekh woh ladki be-mann se seedha palat ke andar jaane lagi aur idhar majbooran Veer ko uska peecha karna pada.

Andar se ye siheyuan ghar kayi guna bada tha. Modern equipments aur machines ke saath saath puraani cheezo se bhi ghar saja hua tha. Jagah jagah sugandhit candles aur laalten se kona kona raushan tha. Lights bhi lagi hui thi par harr jagah candles aur sirf laalten hi jal rahi thi.




[Looks like Renshu ko modern lights pasand nahi.]

‘Maybe!’

[Wese ye candle lights bhi buri nahi. What do you say? Tum, mein aur candle light dinner? Hmm? Fufu~]

‘Shut up!’

[Oh dear! You are so unromantic.]

Veer chup chaap bas apne saamne ladki ki chaal ka peecha kar raha tha. Aur, harr baar khud ko yahi yaad dila raha tha ki zaroori nahi hai ki har sundar ladki ke paas sundar dil ho. Woh chalte chalte agal bagal ghar ko bhi dekhte jaa raha tha. Ghar antiques se bhi bhara pada tha. Na jaane kitne karodo ki sampatti toh inhi antiques ki thi.

Woh harr cheez ko check bhi karta jaa raha tha aur use harr cheez ki ek anumaanit keemat jaanane ko mil rahi thi. Woh ek baat samajh gaya tha ki Renshu ke paas atyadhik paisa tha. Isme koi shaq waali baat hi nahi.

Parantu, wahi akela system owner nahi tha. Ek system owner kya karta hai aisi sthiti me ye baat saamne chal rahi woh ladki bhi bhali bhaati jaanti thi. Isliye, woh bina palte hi chalte chalte Veer se boli,

Ladki : Mind your own business. Kaha par kya rakha hai, kya cheez hai tumhe check karne ki zaroorat nahi. You are a guest so, behave like one.

Veer ki bauhe ye sunn kass uthi.

Ye ladki…! Kitni irritating thi. Ye Pari bhi samajh gayi thi. Magar, galti uski bhi thi. Woh aam jagaho par aisa kar sakta tha. Par, yaha par woh system owners ke beech me tha. Aur, unke ghar ki cheezo ko check karna kahi na kahi theek nahi tha.

Usne idhar udhar dekhna band kiya aur saamne chal rahi ladki ki patli kamar ko dekh aage badhta raha. Par, abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab woh ladki achanak se ruki aur sarr mod peeche Veer ko gusse me dekhi.

Veer : Huh?

Uske rukte hi Veer bhi ruk gaya.

Ladki (grits) : I told you to mind your own business. Didn’t I?

‘What the-!?’

[Use pata lag gaya hai ki tum uske badan ko peeche se ghoor rahe the.]

‘Don’t tell me-’

[Haan! Koi skill hogi uske paas. Beware! Tumhe itni hi garmi chadhi hai then talk to me darling~ Why bother her? Mein hu na tumhare liye. Call me ‘Mommy’ and then I will-]

‘Shut up!!!’

Ek baar punah Pari ko shaant karwate hue Veer aage badha. Iss baar uski nazre neeche thi. Na hi uss ladki par aur na hi aas paas rakhi cheezon par.



Woh dono seedhiyo ka istemal kar ek floor upar aaye aur ek kamre ki orr badhne lage. Andar aate hi Veer ne dekha ki kamra andar se kaafi bada tha. Uski nazar turant hi saamne ki orr gayi.

Saamne ek decorative ping-feng rakha hua tha.



Ping-feng darasal woh lakdi ka furniture hota tha jise fold kiya jaa sakta tha. Ise kamre ko do bhaag me baatne ke liye istemal kiya jaata tha. Bas, ise khol ke beecho beech rakhna hota tha aur ye sundar si dikhne waali screen kamre ko do hisso me baant deti thi.

Iska istemal aksar chinese parivar kara karte the. Aur toh aur iska upyog kapde badalne ki screen ki tarah bhi kiya jaata tha. Ye ek barrier ya deewaar ki tarah kaam karta tha.

Yaha par bhi Veer ke saamne maujood ye ping-feng ek screen ki tarah hi kaam kar raha tha. Kyuki, ping-feng ke uss taraf use kisi insaan ki parchhaayi nazar aa rahi thi. Koi peeche kapde badal raha tha.

Ladki : I’m here, Dad!

Veer : Hmm?

Dad?? Veer ke mann me kuch sawaal paida hue. Par iske pehle ki woh inke jawaab khoj paata saamne se ek aadmi ping-feng ke baahar nikal ke aaya. Uski oonchi kad-kaathi dekh Veer ki aankhein chaudi ho gayi aur use uske sawaal ka jawaab bhi mil gaya.

Li Renshu!!!

Renshu : Mere ghar me tumhara swaagat hai, Veer!!!

Uski bhaari bharkam awaaz kamre me goonj gayi. Renshu pichli baar ki hi tarah dikhayi pad raha tha. Lambi lambi daadhi aur baal, bhara hua shareer. Toh wahi, Veer ke bagal se khadi ladki ko bhi akhir Veer ka naam pata chal gaya. Ye wahi ladki thi jo kuch din pehle Renshu se baat kar rahi thi. Renshu ki apni beti. Yahi woh ladki thi jise Veer ke envelope kholne par turant hi uska abhaas ho gaya tha.

Veer : Y-Ye-!? Ye tumhari beti hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Kyu?

Par Veer ke jawaab dene se pehle hi Renshu ki beti tapaak se bol padi,

Ladki : Hmph~ Mujhe toh laga tha tumhari ‘hindi’ bhaasha me ‘aap’ aur ‘tum’ ka alag alag mehatv hai. Par, lagta hai tum jaise ladko ko uska sahi se istemaal karna nahi aata. Itni bhi samajh nahi hai ki kaha par kise ‘aap’ kehna hai? Aur kise ‘tum’? Stupid!!!

Veer : ???

Veer use thoda ghoor ke dekha jaise samajhna chaah raha ho ki akhir ye ladki chaahti kya thi uss se? Kahi na kahi use itna andaza lag gaya tha ki ye ladki apne pita ki taraf behad hi wafadar, aagyakari aur aadarkari thi. Par, use kuch bhi kehne ki zaroorat nahi padi kyuki turant hi Renshu ki oonchi awaaz ne waha sabko shaant kar diya.

Renshu (yells) : Ericaaaaa!!!!!

Aur, apne pita ki oonchi awaaz sunn, Erica turant hi seham gayi. Sarr jhukaate hue usne fauran hi kaha,

Erica : Sorry Dad!

Renshu : Veer hamara mehman hai. Koi karzdaar nahi.

Erica : Kya woh favor karz nahi the Dad? Akhir humne inki jaan jo bachaayi thi.

Woh Veer ki taraf dekhte hue muh fula kar boli.

Renshu : Woh mera aur Veer ke beech ka mamla hai. Maine uski madad ki thi. Aur, woh meri madad karne ke liye aaj yaha par hai. Ek system owner ka dusre system owner ki madad karna hi sahi karm hai. Ye baat tum acche se jaanti ho. Ahinda se hamare mehmaano ki khatirdari me mujhe tumhari taraf se koi bhi kami mehsoos nahi honi chahiye.

Erica (sarr jhukate hue) : Y-Yes Dad! Par, inn mister se bhi keh dijiye ki ye aap ko aapke naam se na bulaaye. Aap yaha ke ‘Lord’ ho Dad. Nobody is stronger than you. Aur, inko bhi izzat karte aana chahiye. Aur-

Renshu : Veer jo chaahe mujhe bula sakta hai. Use inn formalities me shamil hone ki koi zaroorat nahi.

Erica (baffled) : Wh-Whaaatttt???

Woh ekdum stabdh thi. Kabhi bhi uske Dad ne apne se itni chhoti umr waale ladke ko aisi azaadi nahi di thi. Fir, Veer ko kaise? Akhir, aisi kya khaas baat thi iss ladke me?

Woh apne daant meeste hue Veer ko dekhi. Apne pita ke liye uska sammaan aseem tha. Harr aadmi uske pita ke saamne sarr jhukata tha. Yaha tak ki China ki apni government ke officials bhi uske saamne izzat se pesh aate the. Kisi ki majaal nahi thi ki uske Dad ke saamne koi oonchi awaaz me baat kar sake. Toh, fir ye ladka kaun tha? Bhala ise itni chhooth kyu mili hui thi?

Veer toh mann hi mann prafullit ho raha tha. Akhir, iss ladki ko apni kadwi dawayi ka swaad mil hi gaya. Erica jaise hi Veer ki orr dekhi, Veer ek kapti muskaan liye use hi dekh raha tha.

Veer : Heh~

Erica (gusse me) : Wha-!!?? Y-You- You freaking-!!!

Renshu : Hamare mehmaan ke liye ek garma garam chai banao Erica! Aao, Veer!

Kehte hue woh kamre ke daayi taraf chal diya jaha baithak bani hui thi. Aur, uske saath saath hi Veer bhi peeche peeche badh gaya. Par, Erica ko toh aaj jaise jhatke par jhatke lag rahe the.

Erica : Wh-What?? M-Mein? Chai banau? Aur, iske liye?

Renshu ne jab palat ke prashn bhari nazro se use ghoora toh woh turant hi apni nazre churaate hue haami bhari,

Erica : L-Laati hu!

Aur, waha se baayi orr badh wahi par lage ek induction chulhe me bartan rakh woh paani bhar usme chai chadhaane lagi.

Renshu ne Veer ko neeche baithaya. Neeche ek soft sa cushion baithne ke liye bana hua tha. Woh bhi apni jagah par Veer ke saamne baitha. Gol akaar ki table jiski height lagbhag 30 cm hogi unn dono ke beech maujood thi aur kamra laalten aur mombattiyo se raushan tha.

Renshu : Aane me koi taqleef toh nahi hui na?

Veer : Nahi! Bas, raasta thoda lamba tha. Ye poori property tumhari hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!

Veer : Great!!

Renshu : Tum soch rahe hoge ki bhala aisi jagah par mujhe property kaise mil gayi? Ye ilaaka toh jangal se lagta hai aur dekha jaaye toh iss par sarkaar ka haq hai. Hai na?

Veer (nods) : Right! Baahar jab mein car se utra tha toh mere dimaag me sabse pehle yahi aaya tha.

Renshu : Uske peeche bhi ek lambi kahani hai. Mere pita ji ne shuru se hi China ke liye bahut kuch kiya hai. Iss zameen par reh ke unhone bahut kuch China ke liye daav pe lagaya hai.

Veer : Ohh!

Renshu : Saral aur kam shabdo me kahu toh… Dekho Veer! Idhar dekho! Isme tumhe behtar se samajh me aayega.

Kehte hue usne saamne rakhi gol table par ek naksha pesh kiya jo ki China ka hi tha. Par, iss nakshe me China ke provinces me alag alag jangal jo maujood the woh aur bhi behtar dhang se nazar aa rahe the.

Renshu : Dekho Veer! Hum abhi Sichuan ke sheher Panzhihua ke baahri ilaake me maujood hai. Iske baad se Xishuangbanna ka jangal lagna shuru ho jaata hai.

Woh nakshe par apni ungli rakh Veer ko sab kuch acche se samjha raha tha. Aur Veer bhi bade hi dhyaan se sab kuch samajh raha tha. Toh wahi chai bana rahi Erica dur se hi muh fula ke Veer ko apne mann me khari khoti suna rahi thi. Aur, uska saath nibha rahi thi uski apni system~

Genesis!!!

‘Ye bewakoof ladka! Hmph! Zara bhi respect nahi hai isme. Akhir Dad ne kya dekh liya isme?’

[Mujhe nahi pata. But He’s handsome hehe!]

‘Tum handsome ladko ke alawa kuch aur sochti bhi ho ya nahi?’

[Sochti hu na!!]

‘Aur woh kya hai madam???’

[Ek strong aur powerful man! Ahhh~]

‘Shut up!!! Jab dekho tab bas strong powerful handsome man ki ratt lagayi rehti ho. Hum ladkiya bhi strong hoti hai.’

[Yes! But in the end… A woman always longs for a powerful and handsome man.]

‘Hmph! Tumhari ideology mujhe nahi samajh aati.’

[Ek na ek din samajh jaogi tum bhi.]

‘Aur kya pata? Kaho ye mister mujhse bhi fisaddi nikle? I think I can take him on.’

[Ye bhul mat karna. Never judge a system owner without finding out his abilities. Woh koi aam insaan nahi hai. He’s also a system owner like you. Koi baat hogi usme jo tumhare Dad ne uss par trust kar ke use invitation bheja. Ye baat tum bhi acche se jaanti ho ki tumhare Dad trust ko leke kitne sakht hai.]

‘Th-That’s right! Dad bina wajah iss tarah kisi par bhi trust nahi karte.’

[Yes! Aur, isliye tumhe kisi ko bhi halke me nahi lena hai. It’s better to be safe than sorry.]

‘Theek hai! Agar mein uss se lad nahi sakti toh kam se kam use aazma toh sakti hu.’

[Aur ek baat! Usne uss Crimson ko maara hai. Ye bhi yaad rakhna.]

‘Toh? Humne kaha uss Crimson ko dekha hai? Dad se hi suna tha jitna suna tha. Hume toh ye bhi nahi pata ki akhir woh kitna taqatwar tha. Tum khamakha Veer ko chane ke jhaad par chadha rahi ho.’

[Just listen to me and don’t fuck with him.]

‘Alright! Alright! But tum befaltu hi darr rahi ho Genie! Dad se strong koi nahi hai. Woh hamara kuch nahi kar sakta.’

Uski baat par uski pyaari Genie yaani ki Genesis ne koi jawaab nahi diya.

‘Aur isko toh mein ab batati hu. Mere upar hass raha tha huh? Let’s see how he laughs after this.’

[Tum kya soch rahi ho ab?]

Erica ne chai bana li thi. Usne Renshu aur apni chai pehle hi chhaan ke nikal li aur bachi hui chai me usne-

[What the hell? Kya kar rahi ho tum? Are you testing his patience? Mene abhi tumhe samjhaya tha ki don’t fuck with him. Hum abhi uske baare me theek se-]

‘Hehe! Don’t worry! Erica ka koi uske saamne mazak banaye ye Erica ko pasand nahi. Tum dekho bas ab-!!!’

Woh dono aapas me mann me hi khusur pusur karti rahi aur idhar Renshu sab kuch vistaar me Veer ko samjha raha tha.

Renshu : Sichuan ke neeche hi Yunnan Province lagta hai Veer. Nakshe me dekh ke tumhe samajh aa raha hoga.




Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Renshu : Yunnan me hi Xishuangbanna asal me sthit hai. China ka sabse bada jangal. Lekin, uss jangal ka baahri hissa yahi se lagna shuru ho jaata hai.

Veer : Okay!

Renshu : Baat kuch saal pehle ki hai. Xishuangbanna kyuki ek jangal hai toh tum ye jaante hi hoge ki jangalo me tribal log raha karte hai.

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Ye baat Veer jaanta tha. Harr jangal me kahi na kahi aadivaasi log rehte hi the. Alag alag tribes se hote hue woh jangalo me hi apna ghar, apna samaaj, apne niyam, apne qaayde sab kuch bana liya karte the.

Renshu : Uss samay bhi ek tribe waha raha karti thi. Jangal ke paas hi tab kahi se pata laga tha ki waha par ek mine ki khoj ki gayi hai.

Veer : Mine!?

Renshu : Hmm! Elements se bhari mine.

Veer (frowns) : Kaise elements?

Renshu : Kayi saare. Mines me keval ek element nahi hota Veer. Khodne par na jaane kya kya mil sakta hai. Aur, uss samay kuch metals mile the. Kuch elements bhi jo ki-

Veer : Jo ki?

Renshu : Radioactive the.

Veer (surprised) : Ek radioactive mine!?



Veer chakit tha. Radioactive mine koi aam mine nahi thi. Ye woh mines hoti thi jaha par radiation bhi paaya jaata tha. Iska matlab saaf tha ki mine me radioactive elements bhi maujood the. Aise me uss mine ki kya ahamiyat thi, ye Veer anumaan laga liya tha.

Renshu : Ab agar aise me mine ki khoj hoti hai. Toh tumhe kya lagta hai? Woh jagah kiske haq me jaani chahiye?

Veer : Government ke?

Renshu (nods) : Exactly! Lekin, shuruati daur me aisa hua nahi tha. Tumhe pata hai kyu?

Veer : Kyuki, jangal ke tribal log iss se taiyaar nahi the.

Renshu (nods) : Bilkul sahi! Unke anusaar jangal unki apni zameen thi. Mine agar government ke haatho me di… toh mine par jaane ke liye aane jaane ka raasta bhi dena padta. Tribal log ye kabhi nahi chaahte the ki unke ilaake me koi bhi baahri vyakti aaye din dakhal de.

Veer : Fir?

Renshu : Yahi par fir mere pita ji kahani me aate hai. Woh ek forest ranger the aur Tribal logo ki boli bhaasha se bahut acche se parichit the. Woh unhe samajhte the aur unse baat kiya karte the. Wahi the jinhone iss samjhaute ko karwaya tha.

Veer : Ohh!!

Renshu : Hmm! Aur, unhi ke itne saare yogdan ki wajah se pita jii ko uss samay yaha ye zameen dii gayi thi.

Veer : Jo ki kaafi badi zameen hai.

Renshu : Government ke liye kya zyada zaroori tha uss samay? Ye kuch acres ki zameen ya fir radioactive elements se ladi ek mine?

Veer : Hmm! Agar iss tarah rakha jaaye toh harr baat sense banaati hai. I see!

Renshu : Hmm! Aur, pita ji ke jaane ke baad ye zameen fir mere naam hui. Ab mein yaha ka maalik hu.

Veer : So that’s how it is!!

Woh dono abhi baat hi kar rahe the jab unke baayi orr se Erica ki awaaz aayi, “Chai taiyaar hai!”

Woh ek tray me chinese cups me chai bhar unke paas aayi aur tray ko neeche table par rakh di. Tray se ek cup uthaate hue usne sabse pehle apne Dad ko chai serve ki aur uske baad Veer ke liye ek cup uthaate hue badi si muskaan apne hontho par bikhere uske nazdeek aayi.

Erica : I’m sorry for my behavior. Dad se koi bhi iss tarah baat karta hai toh mujhe bas accha nahi lagta. I hope tum mujhe maaf kar doge?

Uske iss ravaiyye par Renshu khush hua aur muskuraya bhi. Toh wahi Veer bhi dobaara se uske baare me sochne par vivash ho gaya. Ye ladki itni buri bhi nahi thi.

Veer : It’s okay!

Usne haami bhar khushi khushi Erica ke haatho se chai ka cup liya. Sabhi apni apni jagah virajman the. Erica bhi ek cushion leke unke hi bagal se baith gayi thi. Renshu ne haath se ishaara kar Veer ko aage badhne ko kaha. Sharmane ki zaroorat nahi thi. Veer ne bhi cup me garam garam chai ko ek do baar foonk maar ke ghooth liya.

Aur tabhi-

‘Huh!!???’

Uska muh andar hi andar itni kass ke sikuda. Woh mann me hi cheenkh pada.

‘Fucking bitchhhhhh!!!!!’

Chai me cheeni nahi balki… namak maujood tha.

Uss swaad ko shabdo me bayaa nahi kiya jaa sakta tha. Itna wahiyaat tha. Idhar Veer ki haalat ek ghooth pee ke hi khasta thi toh wahi dusri orr Renshu chai ki chuski lete hue uske swaad par muskura raha tha.

Renshu : Chai acchi bani hai Erica! Hamare mehman India se hai. Aur, tumne iss chai se bilkul bhi niraash nahi kiya. Kyu hai na Veer? Kaisi lagi?

Kaisi lagi? Yeh chai bechaare Veer ke gale nahi utar rahi thi. Jaise darr ke maare gaand sikud jaaya karti thi kuch usi tarah abhi Veer ke gaal the jo andar se sikude hue the. Use ab sab samajh aa chuka tha. Erica ne ye sab jaan boojh ke kiya tha. Woh uss se apna badla le rahi thi. Cup par uski pakad mazboot ho gayi. Par, apne chehre par usne koi bhaav aane nahi diye. Iss ladki ko toh wo baad me dekh lega.

Veer : Ahaha! B-Bahut acchi hai! *nods* Waqai!

Idhar uska reaction dekh Erica mann hi mann thahaake maar rahi thi. Aur, jaise jataane ki koshish kar rahi thi ki woh koi aeri-geri ladki nahi balki Li Renshu ki beti thi.

Kahi na kahi ek zaroori aur aham baat bhi Veer ne apne mann me baitha li thi. Li Renshu aur uski beti Li Erica… Dono ke paas system tha. Toh kya woh iss waqt saare system owners me se sabse zyada taqatwar nahi the? Akhir, woh do log the. Baap aur beti! Do system owners ka ek saath hona. Koi bhi unhe halke me nahi le sakta tha.

Chai ko kuch derr side rakhte hue Veer ne Renshu ki taraf dekha aur kaha,

Veer : Mere kuch sawaal hai.

Renshu : Hmm! Pucho!

Veer : Sabse pehla sawaal ye hai ki police ya government ne tribal people ke khilaaf kuch kiya kyu nahi? Mine jaisi cheez hamesha government ke hisse me hi aati hai. Toh agar government chaahti toh tribal logo ko zabardasti bhi toh jangal se nikaal sakti thi na?

Renshu : Hmm! Accha sawaal hai. Aur, iska jawaab hai~ Nahi! Government aisa nahi kar sakti thi. Kyu? Uska kaaran batata hu.

Veer : ???

Renshu : Veer, Xishuangbanna jangal kareeban 20,000 square kilometers me faila hua hai. Jangal bada hai. Chhota mota nahi.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Mene tumhe kuch derr pehle tribes ke baare me bataya tha.

Veer : Yahi ki jangal me tribes ke log raha karte the!?

Renshu : Hmm! Par, unme se ek tribe mukhya thi jiski jansankhya bhi baakiyo se kahi adhik thi. Aur, woh tribe thi~ Long!

Veer : Long?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! ‘Long’ Tribe. Sabse khatarnak aur sabse ladaaku tribe. Jaadu totke, janvaro ko niyantrit karna, inn sab me bahut aage rehti thi.

Veer : Oh!?

Renshu : Jangal bahut ghana hai. Aise me jab jab Long tribe ke logo ko zabardasti apne ilaake ko dene ki baat kahi jaati thi toh tribe ke log hamesha ladne par utar aate the. Yaha tak ki ek-do logo ko jaan se maar bhi diya tha unhone. Tribe itni khatarnaak thi ki government khoon kharaabe par nahi utar sakti thi.

Veer : !!!??

Renshu : Ye sach hai! Isliye, mere pita ji ke dwara karwaya gaya ye samjhauta bahut hi upar maana jaata hai. Aur, unka naam aaj bhi aadar se liya jaata hai.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Koi aur sawaal?

Veer : Hmm! Dusra sawaal! Ye samjhauta akhir aise hi toh hua nahi hoga? Itni asaani se kaise maan gaye Long Tribe ke log? Sirf agar baato se hi manana tha toh pehle hi maan jaate? Tumhare pita ji ke aane se aisa kya hua?

Renshu Veer ke prashn par muskuraya aur use kuch derr dekha.

Renshu (smiles) : Mein sahi tha jo tumhe invitation diya.

Erica : Huh??

Bagal me baithi Erica jo ab tak table par apne dono haath tikaaye dono ke vartalaap ko dhyaan se sunn rahi thi woh firse apne Dad ko Veer ki taraf rujhaan rakhte dekh hairan reh gayi. Cheenkh cheenkh ke khud se yahi sawaal karti ki ~ Akhir iss ladke me aisa tha kya???

Renshu : Tum sahi ho Veer! Samjhauta aise hi nahi hua tha. Ek agreement kiya gaya tha. Jo ki abhi bhi kaagzo me maujood hai government aur Long tribe ke paas bhi.

Veer : Agreement?

Renshu : Hmm! Agreement jo mere pita jii ne karwaya tha. Aur, agreement ye tha ki ~ Mine desh ki bhoomi ka hissa hai jisme anokhe padaarth maujood hai. Zaahir hai uss par desh ki sarkaar ka hi haq hoga. Aur, jangal me Long tribe ho ya koi bhi tribe, iss par rok nahi laga sakti. Akhir, ye sabhi ke hit ke liye hai.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Lekin, government ko sirf aur sirf mine aur uss tak jaane ki hi access di jayegi. Woh baaki jangal me tribes ke log ya unke ilaake me hastakshep nahi kar sakte the.

Veer (frowns) : Aur Long Tribe iss se raazi ho gayi? Tumne abhi toh bataya tha na ki tribal log ye kabhi nahi chaahenge ki unke ilaake se koi bhi raasta banaya jaaye aur baahri vyakti-

Renshu : Pehle sunn toh lo poori baat.

Veer : !!?

Renshu : Of course! Shuruat me Long Tribe iss se bilkul bhi raazi nahi thi. Aur, yahi pe aata hai iss agreement ka second point.

Veer : Huh???

Renshu : For the allowance of transportation and ease of conduct from the tribal people, Long Tribe will be accorded 1/10th portion of the mine excluding the radioactive region. Ye tha second point.

Veer ki aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Veer : I-Iska matlab-!?

Renshu (nods) : Tumne sahi samjha. Mine ka 1/10th hissa Long Tribe ko de diya gaya tha.

Veer : Magar, Tribe ke logo ke liye woh mine kis kaam ki bhala?

Renshu : Ek aur accha sawaal. Veer, mujhe ye batao ki aam aadmi ko kis cheez ki sabse zyada zaroorat hoti hai? Koi aisi cheez jiske bina aam aadmi zindagi guzaar nahi sakta par tribal ke log araam se jee sakte hai.

Veer : Paisa!?

Renshu (smiles) : Ekdum sahi! Toh aise me Long Tribe ko fir kya chahiye tha? Paisa unka main maqsad nahi hai. Agar unhe paisa kamana hota toh woh jangalo me thodi reh rahe hote.

Veer : Hmm!

Veer apne hontho ko ek haath se chhipaaye ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Fir kuch derr baad bola,

Veer : Right! Jangalo me tribes rehti hai toh unke apne cultures hote hai. Mine ka istemal unke nazariye se kayi cheezo ke liye kiya jaa sakta tha. Jaise ki agar gold aur silver mine se milta hai toh uss se woh jwellery bana sakte hai. Koi aur metals milte hai toh woh unse bartan ya koi auzaar bhi bana sakte hai. Lekin, iske liye bhi toh unhe machines toh lagengi hi na? Woh ye sab akele kaise kar sakte hai?

Renshu : Old traditional method Veer.

Veer (surprised) : Unse ye aati hai?

Renshu : Maine tumse kaha tha ki Long Tribe bahut aage thi. Jaadu totke, maar dhaad, jaanvaro ko paalne ke alaawa ek ye kala bhi thi jisme woh maahir the.

Veer : I see! Agar, unse khud se ye sab banaate aata hai toh- ek prakaar se unhe fir paise ki zaroorat hi nahi. Woh saari suvidhaaye apne jangal me hi dhoondh sakte hai. Sheher jaane ki jo dependency thi woh-

Renshu : Samapt ho gayi.

Veer : Yeah!

Renshu : Aur, isliye akhir me Long Tribe iss faisle se raazi hui thi.

Veer : I got the picture now.

Renshu ke chehre par bhaav tabhi achanak se gambheer ho gaye.

Renshu (frowns) : But the picture has changed now.

Veer : Huh!!???

***

Heibei Province,
Beijing's Police station,
Morning - 3:08 AM~

Subah lag chuki thi parantu akaash me andhera hi chhaaya hua tha. Sooraj ko nikalne me abhi kaafi samay tha. Aur, itni raat gaye Beijing ke police station me police officers bhi apni night duty me kaam kam aur kharraate zyada le rahe the.

Night duty aksar ek bahaana hi hota tha unka. Ye toh bas bolne ki baat thi ki night duty kathin hoti thi. Asal sacchayi toh woh jaante the ki raat me khud qaidi bhi so jaaya karta tha. Risk kaafi kam hota tha. Aur, agar koi bhaagne ki firaaq me ho bhi toh- bhaagne me aksar asafal hi hota tha. 1-2% hi aise cases hote the jaha par qaidi faraar hone me qamyaab ho paata tha.

Yahi soch ke night duty me officers apni apni jagah liye kharraate le rahe the. Yaha tak ki jail me maujood qaidi bhi chenn ki neend me so rahe the. Siwae ek jann ke...

Ek khubsoorat si stree wahi jail ke ek cell me band thi. Patli si deewar se lagi hui patiya par woh baithi hui thi. Aur, apne hi vichaaro me leen thi.

Ye koi aur nahi Garofano hi thi jisko police ne apni giraft me le liya tha. Woh ab bhi samajh nahi paa rahi thi ki akhir ye sab ghatit kaise hua magar, abhi uss par dimaag kharch karne se behtar tha ye sochna ki yaha se baahar kaise nikla jaaye. Aur, isi ke liye Freya ki awaaz uske mann me turant hi goonj uthi,

[Kis cheez ka intezar kar rahi ho? This is the right moment. Do it.]

'Lekin, security cameras ka kya?'

[Pehle yaha se nikalna zaroori hai. Pehle ek step toh implement karo.]

'Hmm!'

Freya ki baat se Garofano raazi akhir ho hi gayi. Woh apni jagah se uthi aur aur salaakho ke paas aate hue usne awaaz lagaayi.

"Hello-!!!!"

"Hello!!???"

Woh lagataar unme se ek police officer ko bulaati rahi. Cell ki chaavi usi ke jeb me rakhi hui thi. Jaise tese kayi baar zorr se awaaz lagane ke baad woh officer apni neend se jaag hi gaya.

Officer : H-Huh!?? K-Kaun hai?

Uski aankhon se abhi bhi dhundhlapann hata nahi tha.

Garofano : Excuse me!?

Officer : H-Huh!!?? Kya hai?

Garofano : Yaha mere cell me paani khatam ho gaya hai. Peene ka paani mil sakta hai kya?

Uski iss request par Officer ne zyada kuch nahi socha. Bas sada sa muh banaate hue woh utha aur wahi table par rakhi usne ek paani ki bottle uthaayi aur Garofano ke cell ki orr badh gaya.

Paas aate hi usne jaise hi Garofano ko bottle thamaayi use achanak hi apne gale par kuch chubhan si hui. Kuch mehsoos hua. Par jab tak ki woh apna haath gardan par le jaake uss cheez ko dekh paata ki woh kya thi... Uski aankhon ke saamne andhera chhaa gaya aur woh dhadaam se neeche gir pada.

Uske neeche girte hi Garofano ne fatafat jhuk ke haath ko cell ke baahar le jaate hue uski pant ko tatola aur jeb me haath daalte hi cell ki chaavi uske haath me lag gayi.

Prison cell ke darwaaze ko kholte hue woh turant hi bahar aayi. Sab ke sab so rahe the. Par baahar maujood guard ke baare me kuch kaha nahi jaa sakta tha. Aur na hi CCTV operators ka jo cabin me baithe hue the.

'Step 1 done!'

[Time kam hai. Yaha khade nahi reh sakte. Run!!!]

'CCTVs ka kya? Usme toh sab kuch saaf saaf dikh gaya hoga.'

[Tumhara baahar aate bas record hua hoga. Apni skill use karte hue nahi. Don't worry. Just run!!]

'Par CCTVs se agar evidence mita de toh?'

[Very good! Tum yahi karti rehna. Agar woh log abhi hume dekh rahe ho toh? Woh jaag rahe ho toh? Ab tak unn logo ne kaho baaki officers ko complaint bhi kar di ho. Aur, tum yaha khadi rehna. Just run dear! We can handle this later.]

'Alright!'

Usne fir apna koi dimaag nahi lagaaya. She just needed to escape. Freya ki baat maan woh turant hi bhaag ke baahar ki orr nikli. Baahar jo do guards the woh jaag rahe the. Poori tarah active aur chaukanne toh nahi the lekin jaag rahe the.

Unn par bhi apni same tactic apnaate hue unhe behoshi ki haalat me chorr Garofano police station se faraar ho chuki thi.

Magar, uske bhaagte hi CCTVs waalo ne dekh liya tha. Afra tafri mach chuki thi. Garofano ko ek prison escapee ka darja de diya gaya tha. Tamaam stations me alert jaari kar diya gaya tha.

Idhar woh bhaagte hue bas yaha se dur jaati jaa rahi thi. Use iss waqt ek hi vyakti ke paas pahuchna tha. Aur woh tha ~

Li Renshu!!!

***

Sichuan Province, Panzhihua,
Li Renshu's house,
Night - 3:18 AM~

"Hmm! Toh ye baat hai. This is serious!!!"

Veer ne ek gehre chintan ke baad kaha. Kuch derr pehle Renshu ne use kaafi kuch bata diya tha. Woh unhi ke baare me soch raha tha.

Kuch derr pehle...

Renshu : Aur, isliye akhir me Long Tribe iss faisle se raazi hui thi.

Veer : I got the picture now.

Renshu ke chehre par bhaav tabhi achanak se gambheer ho gaye.

Renshu (frowns) : But the picture has changed now.

Veer : Huh!!???

Renshu : Maine tumhe bataya tha na ki Xishuangbana me ek mukhya Tribe thi.

Veer : Long Tribe!?

Renshu : Hmm! Aur tumhe ye bataya tha ki unhe mine ka 1/10th hissa diya gaya tha.

Veer (nods) : Haan!

Renshu : Well, toh ab dikkat ye hai ki Long Tribe ne mine ka ab 1/10th nahi balki poora aadha hissa apne qabze me kar liya hai.

Veer : What!? Kaise? A-Aur bhala kyu? Government kya kar rahi thi?

Renshu : Batata hu. Jaise mere pita jii ne Long Tribe aur government ke beech ek agreement karwaya tha. Kuch wesa hi mene bhi kuch saal pehle kiya tha. Agreement toh nahi par mene, mere aadmiyo ne aur Long Tribe ke logo ne milke ek alliance banayi thi.

Veer : Alliance?

Renshu : That's right!

Erica : Aur uss Alliance ka naam tha ~ The Order of the Legion.

Veer : Huh???

Renshu : Erica sahi keh rahi hai. Iss naam se hamari alliance ko banaya gaya tha. Ye ek muh bola samjhauta tha. Dono ke hit ke liye.

Veer : Aur iss Alliance ka purpose kya tha?

Renshu : Jangal aur mine, dono ka protection.

Veer : Fir Long Tribe apni baato se mukar kyu gayi?

Renshu : Uspe hi aa raha hu. Par, unke mukarne se alliance zaroor bikhar gayi. Ab do pehlu bann chuke the. Ek unka apna pehlu aur ek hamara.

Veer : ....

Renshu : The Order of the Legion do bhaago me batt gaya. Ek bann gaya, 'The Order' jo ki mere haatho me hai.




Renshu : Aur dusra Long Tribe ka ho chuka tha ~ 'The Legion.'




Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Ab tumhare pehle sawal par aate hai ki government kya kar rahi thi jab Long Tribe ne ye sab qabze me lena shuru kiya. Right?

Veer : Haan!

Renshu : Aur ye ki Long Tribe apne iss alliance se mukar kyu gayi. Hai na?

Veer (nods) : Haan!

Renshu : Jaise mein 'Order' ka Lord maana jaata hu. Wese hi...

Veer : ???

Renshu : Long Tribe ka bhi ek Lord hai. The Lord of the 'Legion.' Also known as The Ghost of Xishuangbanna. And also known as ~ Jaw Long!!!

Veer : Jaw Long!!!?

Renshu ne gambheerta me uski aankhon me aankhein daalte hue dekha aur fir ahista se kaha,

Renshu : Aur sanchhipt me kahu toh- Hamari hi tarah... Ek system owner!!!

*Badump*

Baaki baato se Veer ko itni hairani nahi hui thi, jitni ye akhiri baat ko sunn ke hui thi. Ek aur system owner. Kya chal raha tha yaha? Mines? Tribes? Agreements? Mr. Nicholson ka murder?

Renshu : Aur, ab mein tumse puchta hu. Kya tum hamari madad karoge???

Sawaal kisi bade se patthar ki tarah aake Veer ke upar gira. Uske haan kehte hi woh jaanta tha ki woh apne aap ko kinn anjaan khatarnaak jokhimo me daalne waala tha. Kitne gehre daldal uska intezar kar rahe the.

Renshu aur Erica dono ki nazre uske upar tiki hui thi. Abhi bhi samay tha. Agar woh chaahe toh apne aap ko peeche kheech sakta tha. Akhir, ant me uske liye sabse aham uska parivar hi the. Bewajah kisi jokhim me jaana murkhta hi thi. Woh Renshu ke favor ko kinhi aur tareeqo se bhi chuka sakta tha.

Par dono baap beti uske jawaab ka intezar kar rahe the. Aur, usne kuch derr baad apna muh khola,

Veer : Mein...

[Bhupinder Singh]

Update - 169 ~ Dispute and Escape ​

Ab tak...

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.

“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’

*Ding*

[No information available.]

Ab aage...

Alaukik saundarya!

Kya hi khubsoorti thi. Veer ne apne jeevan me na jaane kitni hi sundar stree dekhi hongi par woh har baar ye sochne par vivash ho jaata tha ki akhir ek hi sansaar me itna saundarya kaise ho sakta tha? Aur, akhir kitna abhi dekhna baaki tha?

Itna dekhne ke baad bhi ye khatam hone ka naam nahi le raha. Kitni sundar streeyaan abhi aur iss sansaar me hongi? Itna kuch dekhne ke baad bhi uska kabhi inse mann kyu nahi bhara? Woh hamesha hi inn sawaalo ke bavandar me fass jaata tha. Aur, aaj bhi yahi hua.

China
Sichuan Province, Panzhihua
Morning ~ 2:20 AM

Veer ki nazre saamne khadi laal rang ki nighty pehne uss khubsoorat ladki par tiki hui thi. Gori makhmali twacha, harr ang me sampann maans, laal sundar honth aur badi badi kaali kajraari aankhein.

Woh bhi Veer ko upar se neeche tak dekh rahi thi. Zaahir hai jaise Veer ne use check kiya tha wese hi usne bhi Veer ko check kar liya tha. Kya iss ladki ko ye nahi pata tha ki Renshu ne yaha par use bulaaya hai? Aur, agar pata tha toh woh iss tarah use rok kyu rahi thi?

Aadha minute tak toh dono ek dusre ka bas aaklan hi karte rahe. Dono kuch nahi bole. Kuch shan baad Veer ke mann me ladki ki kahi gayi baat punah goonji.

‘Who allowed you to trespass Mister?’

Veer ne use dekhte hue fir uske prashn ka uttar diya,

Veer : I was invited here.

Ladki : I know that…! Woh envelope mene hi banaya tha.

Veer : Huh!?

Veer ke mann me turant hi uss envelope ki chhavi bann ke haazir hui. Kuch derr pehle hi usne woh envelope Driver ko diya tha. Toh iska matlab uss envelope ko iss ladki ne banaya tha? Yaani ye Renshu ki hi taraf thi?

Ab Veer ko samajh aaya ki envelope ki style bhala itni ladkiyo ki tarah kyu thi. Usme itne phool patte kyu bane hue the. Itni sajawat se koi ladki hi use taiyaar kar sakti thi. Aur, woh yaha soch raha tha ki Renshu ka taste ladkiyo waala tha.

Ye jaan ke use thodi raahat mili ki Renshu uss kism ka nahi tha. Parantu, ye ladki kaun thi jo system hone ke bawajood Renshu ke hit ke liye kaam kar rahi thi?

Veer : Toh jab envelope tumne hi banaya hai toh tumhe ye bhi pata hona chahiye ki mujhe woh envelope deke yaha par invite kiya gaya hai.

Ladki : Haan! Janti hu!

Veer : What the-!? Jab jaanti ho toh rok kyu rahi ho?

Ladki : Invite kiya hai Mister. Iska matlab ye thodi hai ki tum seedhe ghuste hue andar chale aaoge. Kya tumhe iss property ke maalik ne permission di?

Woh bauhe upar chadhaate hue uss se puchi.

Veer : What the hell!? Kya woh driver Renshu ne nahi bheja mere liye? Usi ne mujhse baahar kaha ki aap andar jaa sakte hai. Aur-

Ladki : Shut up!!!!

Veer : Huh!?

Ladki : How dare you-!???

Veer : ???

Ladki : Kya kaha tumne? Renshu??? Huh??

Veer : Kya ye ghar Renshu ka nahi!?

Veer jaise jaise ‘Renshu’ kehta jaa raha tha, ladki ka gussa utna hi badhta jaa raha tha.

Ladki : Zubaan sambhaal ke Mister!

Veer : Hmm???

Ladki : Renshi nahi!! It’s ‘Lord Renshu’!!

Veer : What the-!!!

[Huh? Is she delusional or what? Lord Renshu?? Pfft~ Wahahaha! What a joke!]

Veer (frowns) : Aur tumhari tareef?

Ladki : Naam batana mein zaroori nahi samajhti.

[Narcissist! Hmm~]

Pari ne ek shabd me hi saamne khadi ladki ko define kar diya. Narcissist woh log hote the jo apne aap ko bahut upar samajhte the. Veer bas uss ladki ko dekhta raha. Woh iss waqt uss se muh ladaane ke chakkar me nahi tha. Soorat bhale kitni hi acchi kyu na ho, andar ki khubsoorti se hi insaan ko parakhna chahiye. Ye baat Veer ek baar fir jaan gaya tha.

Ladki : Follow me!!!

Veer : …

Bina Veer ki taraf dobaara dekh woh ladki be-mann se seedha palat ke andar jaane lagi aur idhar majbooran Veer ko uska peecha karna pada.

Andar se ye siheyuan ghar kayi guna bada tha. Modern equipments aur machines ke saath saath puraani cheezo se bhi ghar saja hua tha. Jagah jagah sugandhit candles aur laalten se kona kona raushan tha. Lights bhi lagi hui thi par harr jagah candles aur sirf laalten hi jal rahi thi.




[Looks like Renshu ko modern lights pasand nahi.]

‘Maybe!’

[Wese ye candle lights bhi buri nahi. What do you say? Tum, mein aur candle light dinner? Hmm? Fufu~]

‘Shut up!’

[Oh dear! You are so unromantic.]

Veer chup chaap bas apne saamne ladki ki chaal ka peecha kar raha tha. Aur, harr baar khud ko yahi yaad dila raha tha ki zaroori nahi hai ki har sundar ladki ke paas sundar dil ho. Woh chalte chalte agal bagal ghar ko bhi dekhte jaa raha tha. Ghar antiques se bhi bhara pada tha. Na jaane kitne karodo ki sampatti toh inhi antiques ki thi.

Woh harr cheez ko check bhi karta jaa raha tha aur use harr cheez ki ek anumaanit keemat jaanane ko mil rahi thi. Woh ek baat samajh gaya tha ki Renshu ke paas atyadhik paisa tha. Isme koi shaq waali baat hi nahi.

Parantu, wahi akela system owner nahi tha. Ek system owner kya karta hai aisi sthiti me ye baat saamne chal rahi woh ladki bhi bhali bhaati jaanti thi. Isliye, woh bina palte hi chalte chalte Veer se boli,

Ladki : Mind your own business. Kaha par kya rakha hai, kya cheez hai tumhe check karne ki zaroorat nahi. You are a guest so, behave like one.

Veer ki bauhe ye sunn kass uthi.

Ye ladki…! Kitni irritating thi. Ye Pari bhi samajh gayi thi. Magar, galti uski bhi thi. Woh aam jagaho par aisa kar sakta tha. Par, yaha par woh system owners ke beech me tha. Aur, unke ghar ki cheezo ko check karna kahi na kahi theek nahi tha.

Usne idhar udhar dekhna band kiya aur saamne chal rahi ladki ki patli kamar ko dekh aage badhta raha. Par, abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab woh ladki achanak se ruki aur sarr mod peeche Veer ko gusse me dekhi.

Veer : Huh?

Uske rukte hi Veer bhi ruk gaya.

Ladki (grits) : I told you to mind your own business. Didn’t I?

‘What the-!?’

[Use pata lag gaya hai ki tum uske badan ko peeche se ghoor rahe the.]

‘Don’t tell me-’

[Haan! Koi skill hogi uske paas. Beware! Tumhe itni hi garmi chadhi hai then talk to me darling~ Why bother her? Mein hu na tumhare liye. Call me ‘Mommy’ and then I will-]

‘Shut up!!!’

Ek baar punah Pari ko shaant karwate hue Veer aage badha. Iss baar uski nazre neeche thi. Na hi uss ladki par aur na hi aas paas rakhi cheezon par.



Woh dono seedhiyo ka istemal kar ek floor upar aaye aur ek kamre ki orr badhne lage. Andar aate hi Veer ne dekha ki kamra andar se kaafi bada tha. Uski nazar turant hi saamne ki orr gayi.

Saamne ek decorative ping-feng rakha hua tha.



Ping-feng darasal woh lakdi ka furniture hota tha jise fold kiya jaa sakta tha. Ise kamre ko do bhaag me baatne ke liye istemal kiya jaata tha. Bas, ise khol ke beecho beech rakhna hota tha aur ye sundar si dikhne waali screen kamre ko do hisso me baant deti thi.

Iska istemal aksar chinese parivar kara karte the. Aur toh aur iska upyog kapde badalne ki screen ki tarah bhi kiya jaata tha. Ye ek barrier ya deewaar ki tarah kaam karta tha.

Yaha par bhi Veer ke saamne maujood ye ping-feng ek screen ki tarah hi kaam kar raha tha. Kyuki, ping-feng ke uss taraf use kisi insaan ki parchhaayi nazar aa rahi thi. Koi peeche kapde badal raha tha.

Ladki : I’m here, Dad!

Veer : Hmm?

Dad?? Veer ke mann me kuch sawaal paida hue. Par iske pehle ki woh inke jawaab khoj paata saamne se ek aadmi ping-feng ke baahar nikal ke aaya. Uski oonchi kad-kaathi dekh Veer ki aankhein chaudi ho gayi aur use uske sawaal ka jawaab bhi mil gaya.

Li Renshu!!!

Renshu : Mere ghar me tumhara swaagat hai, Veer!!!

Uski bhaari bharkam awaaz kamre me goonj gayi. Renshu pichli baar ki hi tarah dikhayi pad raha tha. Lambi lambi daadhi aur baal, bhara hua shareer. Toh wahi, Veer ke bagal se khadi ladki ko bhi akhir Veer ka naam pata chal gaya. Ye wahi ladki thi jo kuch din pehle Renshu se baat kar rahi thi. Renshu ki apni beti. Yahi woh ladki thi jise Veer ke envelope kholne par turant hi uska abhaas ho gaya tha.

Veer : Y-Ye-!? Ye tumhari beti hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Kyu?

Par Veer ke jawaab dene se pehle hi Renshu ki beti tapaak se bol padi,

Ladki : Hmph~ Mujhe toh laga tha tumhari ‘hindi’ bhaasha me ‘aap’ aur ‘tum’ ka alag alag mehatv hai. Par, lagta hai tum jaise ladko ko uska sahi se istemaal karna nahi aata. Itni bhi samajh nahi hai ki kaha par kise ‘aap’ kehna hai? Aur kise ‘tum’? Stupid!!!

Veer : ???

Veer use thoda ghoor ke dekha jaise samajhna chaah raha ho ki akhir ye ladki chaahti kya thi uss se? Kahi na kahi use itna andaza lag gaya tha ki ye ladki apne pita ki taraf behad hi wafadar, aagyakari aur aadarkari thi. Par, use kuch bhi kehne ki zaroorat nahi padi kyuki turant hi Renshu ki oonchi awaaz ne waha sabko shaant kar diya.

Renshu (yells) : Ericaaaaa!!!!!

Aur, apne pita ki oonchi awaaz sunn, Erica turant hi seham gayi. Sarr jhukaate hue usne fauran hi kaha,

Erica : Sorry Dad!

Renshu : Veer hamara mehman hai. Koi karzdaar nahi.

Erica : Kya woh favor karz nahi the Dad? Akhir humne inki jaan jo bachaayi thi.

Woh Veer ki taraf dekhte hue muh fula kar boli.

Renshu : Woh mera aur Veer ke beech ka mamla hai. Maine uski madad ki thi. Aur, woh meri madad karne ke liye aaj yaha par hai. Ek system owner ka dusre system owner ki madad karna hi sahi karm hai. Ye baat tum acche se jaanti ho. Ahinda se hamare mehmaano ki khatirdari me mujhe tumhari taraf se koi bhi kami mehsoos nahi honi chahiye.

Erica (sarr jhukate hue) : Y-Yes Dad! Par, inn mister se bhi keh dijiye ki ye aap ko aapke naam se na bulaaye. Aap yaha ke ‘Lord’ ho Dad. Nobody is stronger than you. Aur, inko bhi izzat karte aana chahiye. Aur-

Renshu : Veer jo chaahe mujhe bula sakta hai. Use inn formalities me shamil hone ki koi zaroorat nahi.

Erica (baffled) : Wh-Whaaatttt???

Woh ekdum stabdh thi. Kabhi bhi uske Dad ne apne se itni chhoti umr waale ladke ko aisi azaadi nahi di thi. Fir, Veer ko kaise? Akhir, aisi kya khaas baat thi iss ladke me?

Woh apne daant meeste hue Veer ko dekhi. Apne pita ke liye uska sammaan aseem tha. Harr aadmi uske pita ke saamne sarr jhukata tha. Yaha tak ki China ki apni government ke officials bhi uske saamne izzat se pesh aate the. Kisi ki majaal nahi thi ki uske Dad ke saamne koi oonchi awaaz me baat kar sake. Toh, fir ye ladka kaun tha? Bhala ise itni chhooth kyu mili hui thi?

Veer toh mann hi mann prafullit ho raha tha. Akhir, iss ladki ko apni kadwi dawayi ka swaad mil hi gaya. Erica jaise hi Veer ki orr dekhi, Veer ek kapti muskaan liye use hi dekh raha tha.

Veer : Heh~

Erica (gusse me) : Wha-!!?? Y-You- You freaking-!!!

Renshu : Hamare mehmaan ke liye ek garma garam chai banao Erica! Aao, Veer!

Kehte hue woh kamre ke daayi taraf chal diya jaha baithak bani hui thi. Aur, uske saath saath hi Veer bhi peeche peeche badh gaya. Par, Erica ko toh aaj jaise jhatke par jhatke lag rahe the.

Erica : Wh-What?? M-Mein? Chai banau? Aur, iske liye?

Renshu ne jab palat ke prashn bhari nazro se use ghoora toh woh turant hi apni nazre churaate hue haami bhari,

Erica : L-Laati hu!

Aur, waha se baayi orr badh wahi par lage ek induction chulhe me bartan rakh woh paani bhar usme chai chadhaane lagi.

Renshu ne Veer ko neeche baithaya. Neeche ek soft sa cushion baithne ke liye bana hua tha. Woh bhi apni jagah par Veer ke saamne baitha. Gol akaar ki table jiski height lagbhag 30 cm hogi unn dono ke beech maujood thi aur kamra laalten aur mombattiyo se raushan tha.

Renshu : Aane me koi taqleef toh nahi hui na?

Veer : Nahi! Bas, raasta thoda lamba tha. Ye poori property tumhari hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!

Veer : Great!!

Renshu : Tum soch rahe hoge ki bhala aisi jagah par mujhe property kaise mil gayi? Ye ilaaka toh jangal se lagta hai aur dekha jaaye toh iss par sarkaar ka haq hai. Hai na?

Veer (nods) : Right! Baahar jab mein car se utra tha toh mere dimaag me sabse pehle yahi aaya tha.

Renshu : Uske peeche bhi ek lambi kahani hai. Mere pita ji ne shuru se hi China ke liye bahut kuch kiya hai. Iss zameen par reh ke unhone bahut kuch China ke liye daav pe lagaya hai.

Veer : Ohh!

Renshu : Saral aur kam shabdo me kahu toh… Dekho Veer! Idhar dekho! Isme tumhe behtar se samajh me aayega.

Kehte hue usne saamne rakhi gol table par ek naksha pesh kiya jo ki China ka hi tha. Par, iss nakshe me China ke provinces me alag alag jangal jo maujood the woh aur bhi behtar dhang se nazar aa rahe the.

Renshu : Dekho Veer! Hum abhi Sichuan ke sheher Panzhihua ke baahri ilaake me maujood hai. Iske baad se Xishuangbanna ka jangal lagna shuru ho jaata hai.

Woh nakshe par apni ungli rakh Veer ko sab kuch acche se samjha raha tha. Aur Veer bhi bade hi dhyaan se sab kuch samajh raha tha. Toh wahi chai bana rahi Erica dur se hi muh fula ke Veer ko apne mann me khari khoti suna rahi thi. Aur, uska saath nibha rahi thi uski apni system~

Genesis!!!

‘Ye bewakoof ladka! Hmph! Zara bhi respect nahi hai isme. Akhir Dad ne kya dekh liya isme?’

[Mujhe nahi pata. But He’s handsome hehe!]

‘Tum handsome ladko ke alawa kuch aur sochti bhi ho ya nahi?’

[Sochti hu na!!]

‘Aur woh kya hai madam???’

[Ek strong aur powerful man! Ahhh~]

‘Shut up!!! Jab dekho tab bas strong powerful handsome man ki ratt lagayi rehti ho. Hum ladkiya bhi strong hoti hai.’

[Yes! But in the end… A woman always longs for a powerful and handsome man.]

‘Hmph! Tumhari ideology mujhe nahi samajh aati.’

[Ek na ek din samajh jaogi tum bhi.]

‘Aur kya pata? Kaho ye mister mujhse bhi fisaddi nikle? I think I can take him on.’

[Ye bhul mat karna. Never judge a system owner without finding out his abilities. Woh koi aam insaan nahi hai. He’s also a system owner like you. Koi baat hogi usme jo tumhare Dad ne uss par trust kar ke use invitation bheja. Ye baat tum bhi acche se jaanti ho ki tumhare Dad trust ko leke kitne sakht hai.]

‘Th-That’s right! Dad bina wajah iss tarah kisi par bhi trust nahi karte.’

[Yes! Aur, isliye tumhe kisi ko bhi halke me nahi lena hai. It’s better to be safe than sorry.]

‘Theek hai! Agar mein uss se lad nahi sakti toh kam se kam use aazma toh sakti hu.’

[Aur ek baat! Usne uss Crimson ko maara hai. Ye bhi yaad rakhna.]

‘Toh? Humne kaha uss Crimson ko dekha hai? Dad se hi suna tha jitna suna tha. Hume toh ye bhi nahi pata ki akhir woh kitna taqatwar tha. Tum khamakha Veer ko chane ke jhaad par chadha rahi ho.’

[Just listen to me and don’t fuck with him.]

‘Alright! Alright! But tum befaltu hi darr rahi ho Genie! Dad se strong koi nahi hai. Woh hamara kuch nahi kar sakta.’

Uski baat par uski pyaari Genie yaani ki Genesis ne koi jawaab nahi diya.

‘Aur isko toh mein ab batati hu. Mere upar hass raha tha huh? Let’s see how he laughs after this.’

[Tum kya soch rahi ho ab?]

Erica ne chai bana li thi. Usne Renshu aur apni chai pehle hi chhaan ke nikal li aur bachi hui chai me usne-

[What the hell? Kya kar rahi ho tum? Are you testing his patience? Mene abhi tumhe samjhaya tha ki don’t fuck with him. Hum abhi uske baare me theek se-]

‘Hehe! Don’t worry! Erica ka koi uske saamne mazak banaye ye Erica ko pasand nahi. Tum dekho bas ab-!!!’

Woh dono aapas me mann me hi khusur pusur karti rahi aur idhar Renshu sab kuch vistaar me Veer ko samjha raha tha.

Renshu : Sichuan ke neeche hi Yunnan Province lagta hai Veer. Nakshe me dekh ke tumhe samajh aa raha hoga.




Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Renshu : Yunnan me hi Xishuangbanna asal me sthit hai. China ka sabse bada jangal. Lekin, uss jangal ka baahri hissa yahi se lagna shuru ho jaata hai.

Veer : Okay!

Renshu : Baat kuch saal pehle ki hai. Xishuangbanna kyuki ek jangal hai toh tum ye jaante hi hoge ki jangalo me tribal log raha karte hai.

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Ye baat Veer jaanta tha. Harr jangal me kahi na kahi aadivaasi log rehte hi the. Alag alag tribes se hote hue woh jangalo me hi apna ghar, apna samaaj, apne niyam, apne qaayde sab kuch bana liya karte the.

Renshu : Uss samay bhi ek tribe waha raha karti thi. Jangal ke paas hi tab kahi se pata laga tha ki waha par ek mine ki khoj ki gayi hai.

Veer : Mine!?

Renshu : Hmm! Elements se bhari mine.

Veer (frowns) : Kaise elements?

Renshu : Kayi saare. Mines me keval ek element nahi hota Veer. Khodne par na jaane kya kya mil sakta hai. Aur, uss samay kuch metals mile the. Kuch elements bhi jo ki-

Veer : Jo ki?

Renshu : Radioactive the.

Veer (surprised) : Ek radioactive mine!?



Veer chakit tha. Radioactive mine koi aam mine nahi thi. Ye woh mines hoti thi jaha par radiation bhi paaya jaata tha. Iska matlab saaf tha ki mine me radioactive elements bhi maujood the. Aise me uss mine ki kya ahamiyat thi, ye Veer anumaan laga liya tha.

Renshu : Ab agar aise me mine ki khoj hoti hai. Toh tumhe kya lagta hai? Woh jagah kiske haq me jaani chahiye?

Veer : Government ke?

Renshu (nods) : Exactly! Lekin, shuruati daur me aisa hua nahi tha. Tumhe pata hai kyu?

Veer : Kyuki, jangal ke tribal log iss se taiyaar nahi the.

Renshu (nods) : Bilkul sahi! Unke anusaar jangal unki apni zameen thi. Mine agar government ke haatho me di… toh mine par jaane ke liye aane jaane ka raasta bhi dena padta. Tribal log ye kabhi nahi chaahte the ki unke ilaake me koi bhi baahri vyakti aaye din dakhal de.

Veer : Fir?

Renshu : Yahi par fir mere pita ji kahani me aate hai. Woh ek forest ranger the aur Tribal logo ki boli bhaasha se bahut acche se parichit the. Woh unhe samajhte the aur unse baat kiya karte the. Wahi the jinhone iss samjhaute ko karwaya tha.

Veer : Ohh!!

Renshu : Hmm! Aur, unhi ke itne saare yogdan ki wajah se pita jii ko uss samay yaha ye zameen dii gayi thi.

Veer : Jo ki kaafi badi zameen hai.

Renshu : Government ke liye kya zyada zaroori tha uss samay? Ye kuch acres ki zameen ya fir radioactive elements se ladi ek mine?

Veer : Hmm! Agar iss tarah rakha jaaye toh harr baat sense banaati hai. I see!

Renshu : Hmm! Aur, pita ji ke jaane ke baad ye zameen fir mere naam hui. Ab mein yaha ka maalik hu.

Veer : So that’s how it is!!

Woh dono abhi baat hi kar rahe the jab unke baayi orr se Erica ki awaaz aayi, “Chai taiyaar hai!”

Woh ek tray me chinese cups me chai bhar unke paas aayi aur tray ko neeche table par rakh di. Tray se ek cup uthaate hue usne sabse pehle apne Dad ko chai serve ki aur uske baad Veer ke liye ek cup uthaate hue badi si muskaan apne hontho par bikhere uske nazdeek aayi.

Erica : I’m sorry for my behavior. Dad se koi bhi iss tarah baat karta hai toh mujhe bas accha nahi lagta. I hope tum mujhe maaf kar doge?

Uske iss ravaiyye par Renshu khush hua aur muskuraya bhi. Toh wahi Veer bhi dobaara se uske baare me sochne par vivash ho gaya. Ye ladki itni buri bhi nahi thi.

Veer : It’s okay!

Usne haami bhar khushi khushi Erica ke haatho se chai ka cup liya. Sabhi apni apni jagah virajman the. Erica bhi ek cushion leke unke hi bagal se baith gayi thi. Renshu ne haath se ishaara kar Veer ko aage badhne ko kaha. Sharmane ki zaroorat nahi thi. Veer ne bhi cup me garam garam chai ko ek do baar foonk maar ke ghooth liya.

Aur tabhi-

‘Huh!!???’

Uska muh andar hi andar itni kass ke sikuda. Woh mann me hi cheenkh pada.

‘Fucking bitchhhhhh!!!!!’

Chai me cheeni nahi balki… namak maujood tha.

Uss swaad ko shabdo me bayaa nahi kiya jaa sakta tha. Itna wahiyaat tha. Idhar Veer ki haalat ek ghooth pee ke hi khasta thi toh wahi dusri orr Renshu chai ki chuski lete hue uske swaad par muskura raha tha.

Renshu : Chai acchi bani hai Erica! Hamare mehman India se hai. Aur, tumne iss chai se bilkul bhi niraash nahi kiya. Kyu hai na Veer? Kaisi lagi?

Kaisi lagi? Yeh chai bechaare Veer ke gale nahi utar rahi thi. Jaise darr ke maare gaand sikud jaaya karti thi kuch usi tarah abhi Veer ke gaal the jo andar se sikude hue the. Use ab sab samajh aa chuka tha. Erica ne ye sab jaan boojh ke kiya tha. Woh uss se apna badla le rahi thi. Cup par uski pakad mazboot ho gayi. Par, apne chehre par usne koi bhaav aane nahi diye. Iss ladki ko toh wo baad me dekh lega.

Veer : Ahaha! B-Bahut acchi hai! *nods* Waqai!

Idhar uska reaction dekh Erica mann hi mann thahaake maar rahi thi. Aur, jaise jataane ki koshish kar rahi thi ki woh koi aeri-geri ladki nahi balki Li Renshu ki beti thi.

Kahi na kahi ek zaroori aur aham baat bhi Veer ne apne mann me baitha li thi. Li Renshu aur uski beti Li Erica… Dono ke paas system tha. Toh kya woh iss waqt saare system owners me se sabse zyada taqatwar nahi the? Akhir, woh do log the. Baap aur beti! Do system owners ka ek saath hona. Koi bhi unhe halke me nahi le sakta tha.

Chai ko kuch derr side rakhte hue Veer ne Renshu ki taraf dekha aur kaha,

Veer : Mere kuch sawaal hai.

Renshu : Hmm! Pucho!

Veer : Sabse pehla sawaal ye hai ki police ya government ne tribal people ke khilaaf kuch kiya kyu nahi? Mine jaisi cheez hamesha government ke hisse me hi aati hai. Toh agar government chaahti toh tribal logo ko zabardasti bhi toh jangal se nikaal sakti thi na?

Renshu : Hmm! Accha sawaal hai. Aur, iska jawaab hai~ Nahi! Government aisa nahi kar sakti thi. Kyu? Uska kaaran batata hu.

Veer : ???

Renshu : Veer, Xishuangbanna jangal kareeban 20,000 square kilometers me faila hua hai. Jangal bada hai. Chhota mota nahi.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Mene tumhe kuch derr pehle tribes ke baare me bataya tha.

Veer : Yahi ki jangal me tribes ke log raha karte the!?

Renshu : Hmm! Par, unme se ek tribe mukhya thi jiski jansankhya bhi baakiyo se kahi adhik thi. Aur, woh tribe thi~ Long!

Veer : Long?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! ‘Long’ Tribe. Sabse khatarnak aur sabse ladaaku tribe. Jaadu totke, janvaro ko niyantrit karna, inn sab me bahut aage rehti thi.

Veer : Oh!?

Renshu : Jangal bahut ghana hai. Aise me jab jab Long tribe ke logo ko zabardasti apne ilaake ko dene ki baat kahi jaati thi toh tribe ke log hamesha ladne par utar aate the. Yaha tak ki ek-do logo ko jaan se maar bhi diya tha unhone. Tribe itni khatarnaak thi ki government khoon kharaabe par nahi utar sakti thi.

Veer : !!!??

Renshu : Ye sach hai! Isliye, mere pita ji ke dwara karwaya gaya ye samjhauta bahut hi upar maana jaata hai. Aur, unka naam aaj bhi aadar se liya jaata hai.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Koi aur sawaal?

Veer : Hmm! Dusra sawaal! Ye samjhauta akhir aise hi toh hua nahi hoga? Itni asaani se kaise maan gaye Long Tribe ke log? Sirf agar baato se hi manana tha toh pehle hi maan jaate? Tumhare pita ji ke aane se aisa kya hua?

Renshu Veer ke prashn par muskuraya aur use kuch derr dekha.

Renshu (smiles) : Mein sahi tha jo tumhe invitation diya.

Erica : Huh??

Bagal me baithi Erica jo ab tak table par apne dono haath tikaaye dono ke vartalaap ko dhyaan se sunn rahi thi woh firse apne Dad ko Veer ki taraf rujhaan rakhte dekh hairan reh gayi. Cheenkh cheenkh ke khud se yahi sawaal karti ki ~ Akhir iss ladke me aisa tha kya???

Renshu : Tum sahi ho Veer! Samjhauta aise hi nahi hua tha. Ek agreement kiya gaya tha. Jo ki abhi bhi kaagzo me maujood hai government aur Long tribe ke paas bhi.

Veer : Agreement?

Renshu : Hmm! Agreement jo mere pita jii ne karwaya tha. Aur, agreement ye tha ki ~ Mine desh ki bhoomi ka hissa hai jisme anokhe padaarth maujood hai. Zaahir hai uss par desh ki sarkaar ka hi haq hoga. Aur, jangal me Long tribe ho ya koi bhi tribe, iss par rok nahi laga sakti. Akhir, ye sabhi ke hit ke liye hai.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Lekin, government ko sirf aur sirf mine aur uss tak jaane ki hi access di jayegi. Woh baaki jangal me tribes ke log ya unke ilaake me hastakshep nahi kar sakte the.

Veer (frowns) : Aur Long Tribe iss se raazi ho gayi? Tumne abhi toh bataya tha na ki tribal log ye kabhi nahi chaahenge ki unke ilaake se koi bhi raasta banaya jaaye aur baahri vyakti-

Renshu : Pehle sunn toh lo poori baat.

Veer : !!?

Renshu : Of course! Shuruat me Long Tribe iss se bilkul bhi raazi nahi thi. Aur, yahi pe aata hai iss agreement ka second point.

Veer : Huh???

Renshu : For the allowance of transportation and ease of conduct from the tribal people, Long Tribe will be accorded 1/10th portion of the mine excluding the radioactive region. Ye tha second point.

Veer ki aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Veer : I-Iska matlab-!?

Renshu (nods) : Tumne sahi samjha. Mine ka 1/10th hissa Long Tribe ko de diya gaya tha.

Veer : Magar, Tribe ke logo ke liye woh mine kis kaam ki bhala?

Renshu : Ek aur accha sawaal. Veer, mujhe ye batao ki aam aadmi ko kis cheez ki sabse zyada zaroorat hoti hai? Koi aisi cheez jiske bina aam aadmi zindagi guzaar nahi sakta par tribal ke log araam se jee sakte hai.

Veer : Paisa!?

Renshu (smiles) : Ekdum sahi! Toh aise me Long Tribe ko fir kya chahiye tha? Paisa unka main maqsad nahi hai. Agar unhe paisa kamana hota toh woh jangalo me thodi reh rahe hote.

Veer : Hmm!

Veer apne hontho ko ek haath se chhipaaye ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Fir kuch derr baad bola,

Veer : Right! Jangalo me tribes rehti hai toh unke apne cultures hote hai. Mine ka istemal unke nazariye se kayi cheezo ke liye kiya jaa sakta tha. Jaise ki agar gold aur silver mine se milta hai toh uss se woh jwellery bana sakte hai. Koi aur metals milte hai toh woh unse bartan ya koi auzaar bhi bana sakte hai. Lekin, iske liye bhi toh unhe machines toh lagengi hi na? Woh ye sab akele kaise kar sakte hai?

Renshu : Old traditional method Veer.

Veer (surprised) : Unse ye aati hai?

Renshu : Maine tumse kaha tha ki Long Tribe bahut aage thi. Jaadu totke, maar dhaad, jaanvaro ko paalne ke alaawa ek ye kala bhi thi jisme woh maahir the.

Veer : I see! Agar, unse khud se ye sab banaate aata hai toh- ek prakaar se unhe fir paise ki zaroorat hi nahi. Woh saari suvidhaaye apne jangal me hi dhoondh sakte hai. Sheher jaane ki jo dependency thi woh-

Renshu : Samapt ho gayi.

Veer : Yeah!

Renshu : Aur, isliye akhir me Long Tribe iss faisle se raazi hui thi.

Veer : I got the picture now.

Renshu ke chehre par bhaav tabhi achanak se gambheer ho gaye.

Renshu (frowns) : But the picture has changed now.

Veer : Huh!!???

***

Heibei Province,
Beijing's Police station,
Morning - 3:08 AM~

Subah lag chuki thi parantu akaash me andhera hi chhaaya hua tha. Sooraj ko nikalne me abhi kaafi samay tha. Aur, itni raat gaye Beijing ke police station me police officers bhi apni night duty me kaam kam aur kharraate zyada le rahe the.

Night duty aksar ek bahaana hi hota tha unka. Ye toh bas bolne ki baat thi ki night duty kathin hoti thi. Asal sacchayi toh woh jaante the ki raat me khud qaidi bhi so jaaya karta tha. Risk kaafi kam hota tha. Aur, agar koi bhaagne ki firaaq me ho bhi toh- bhaagne me aksar asafal hi hota tha. 1-2% hi aise cases hote the jaha par qaidi faraar hone me qamyaab ho paata tha.

Yahi soch ke night duty me officers apni apni jagah liye kharraate le rahe the. Yaha tak ki jail me maujood qaidi bhi chenn ki neend me so rahe the. Siwae ek jann ke...

Ek khubsoorat si stree wahi jail ke ek cell me band thi. Patli si deewar se lagi hui patiya par woh baithi hui thi. Aur, apne hi vichaaro me leen thi.

Ye koi aur nahi Garofano hi thi jisko police ne apni giraft me le liya tha. Woh ab bhi samajh nahi paa rahi thi ki akhir ye sab ghatit kaise hua magar, abhi uss par dimaag kharch karne se behtar tha ye sochna ki yaha se baahar kaise nikla jaaye. Aur, isi ke liye Freya ki awaaz uske mann me turant hi goonj uthi,

[Kis cheez ka intezar kar rahi ho? This is the right moment. Do it.]

'Lekin, security cameras ka kya?'

[Pehle yaha se nikalna zaroori hai. Pehle ek step toh implement karo.]

'Hmm!'

Freya ki baat se Garofano raazi akhir ho hi gayi. Woh apni jagah se uthi aur aur salaakho ke paas aate hue usne awaaz lagaayi.

"Hello-!!!!"

"Hello!!???"

Woh lagataar unme se ek police officer ko bulaati rahi. Cell ki chaavi usi ke jeb me rakhi hui thi. Jaise tese kayi baar zorr se awaaz lagane ke baad woh officer apni neend se jaag hi gaya.

Officer : H-Huh!?? K-Kaun hai?

Uski aankhon se abhi bhi dhundhlapann hata nahi tha.

Garofano : Excuse me!?

Officer : H-Huh!!?? Kya hai?

Garofano : Yaha mere cell me paani khatam ho gaya hai. Peene ka paani mil sakta hai kya?

Uski iss request par Officer ne zyada kuch nahi socha. Bas sada sa muh banaate hue woh utha aur wahi table par rakhi usne ek paani ki bottle uthaayi aur Garofano ke cell ki orr badh gaya.

Paas aate hi usne jaise hi Garofano ko bottle thamaayi use achanak hi apne gale par kuch chubhan si hui. Kuch mehsoos hua. Par jab tak ki woh apna haath gardan par le jaake uss cheez ko dekh paata ki woh kya thi... Uski aankhon ke saamne andhera chhaa gaya aur woh dhadaam se neeche gir pada.

Uske neeche girte hi Garofano ne fatafat jhuk ke haath ko cell ke baahar le jaate hue uski pant ko tatola aur jeb me haath daalte hi cell ki chaavi uske haath me lag gayi.

Prison cell ke darwaaze ko kholte hue woh turant hi bahar aayi. Sab ke sab so rahe the. Par baahar maujood guard ke baare me kuch kaha nahi jaa sakta tha. Aur na hi CCTV operators ka jo cabin me baithe hue the.

'Step 1 done!'

[Time kam hai. Yaha khade nahi reh sakte. Run!!!]

'CCTVs ka kya? Usme toh sab kuch saaf saaf dikh gaya hoga.'

[Tumhara baahar aate bas record hua hoga. Apni skill use karte hue nahi. Don't worry. Just run!!]

'Par CCTVs se agar evidence mita de toh?'

[Very good! Tum yahi karti rehna. Agar woh log abhi hume dekh rahe ho toh? Woh jaag rahe ho toh? Ab tak unn logo ne kaho baaki officers ko complaint bhi kar di ho. Aur, tum yaha khadi rehna. Just run dear! We can handle this later.]

'Alright!'

Usne fir apna koi dimaag nahi lagaaya. She just needed to escape. Freya ki baat maan woh turant hi bhaag ke baahar ki orr nikli. Baahar jo do guards the woh jaag rahe the. Poori tarah active aur chaukanne toh nahi the lekin jaag rahe the.

Unn par bhi apni same tactic apnaate hue unhe behoshi ki haalat me chorr Garofano police station se faraar ho chuki thi.

Magar, uske bhaagte hi CCTVs waalo ne dekh liya tha. Afra tafri mach chuki thi. Garofano ko ek prison escapee ka darja de diya gaya tha. Tamaam stations me alert jaari kar diya gaya tha.

Idhar woh bhaagte hue bas yaha se dur jaati jaa rahi thi. Use iss waqt ek hi vyakti ke paas pahuchna tha. Aur woh tha ~

Li Renshu!!!

***

Sichuan Province, Panzhihua,
Li Renshu's house,
Night - 3:18 AM~

"Hmm! Toh ye baat hai. This is serious!!!"

Veer ne ek gehre chintan ke baad kaha. Kuch derr pehle Renshu ne use kaafi kuch bata diya tha. Woh unhi ke baare me soch raha tha.

Kuch derr pehle...

Renshu : Aur, isliye akhir me Long Tribe iss faisle se raazi hui thi.

Veer : I got the picture now.

Renshu ke chehre par bhaav tabhi achanak se gambheer ho gaye.

Renshu (frowns) : But the picture has changed now.

Veer : Huh!!???

Renshu : Maine tumhe bataya tha na ki Xishuangbana me ek mukhya Tribe thi.

Veer : Long Tribe!?

Renshu : Hmm! Aur tumhe ye bataya tha ki unhe mine ka 1/10th hissa diya gaya tha.

Veer (nods) : Haan!

Renshu : Well, toh ab dikkat ye hai ki Long Tribe ne mine ka ab 1/10th nahi balki poora aadha hissa apne qabze me kar liya hai.

Veer : What!? Kaise? A-Aur bhala kyu? Government kya kar rahi thi?

Renshu : Batata hu. Jaise mere pita jii ne Long Tribe aur government ke beech ek agreement karwaya tha. Kuch wesa hi mene bhi kuch saal pehle kiya tha. Agreement toh nahi par mene, mere aadmiyo ne aur Long Tribe ke logo ne milke ek alliance banayi thi.

Veer : Alliance?

Renshu : That's right!

Erica : Aur uss Alliance ka naam tha ~ The Order of the Legion.

Veer : Huh???

Renshu : Erica sahi keh rahi hai. Iss naam se hamari alliance ko banaya gaya tha. Ye ek muh bola samjhauta tha. Dono ke hit ke liye.

Veer : Aur iss Alliance ka purpose kya tha?

Renshu : Jangal aur mine, dono ka protection.

Veer : Fir Long Tribe apni baato se mukar kyu gayi?

Renshu : Uspe hi aa raha hu. Par, unke mukarne se alliance zaroor bikhar gayi. Ab do pehlu bann chuke the. Ek unka apna pehlu aur ek hamara.

Veer : ....

Renshu : The Order of the Legion do bhaago me batt gaya. Ek bann gaya, 'The Order' jo ki mere haatho me hai.




Renshu : Aur dusra Long Tribe ka ho chuka tha ~ 'The Legion.'




Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Ab tumhare pehle sawal par aate hai ki government kya kar rahi thi jab Long Tribe ne ye sab qabze me lena shuru kiya. Right?

Veer : Haan!

Renshu : Aur ye ki Long Tribe apne iss alliance se mukar kyu gayi. Hai na?

Veer (nods) : Haan!

Renshu : Jaise mein 'Order' ka Lord maana jaata hu. Wese hi...

Veer : ???

Renshu : Long Tribe ka bhi ek Lord hai. The Lord of the 'Legion.' Also known as The Ghost of Xishuangbanna. And also known as ~ Jaw Long!!!

Veer : Jaw Long!!!?

Renshu ne gambheerta me uski aankhon me aankhein daalte hue dekha aur fir ahista se kaha,

Renshu : Aur sanchhipt me kahu toh- Hamari hi tarah... Ek system owner!!!

*Badump*

Baaki baato se Veer ko itni hairani nahi hui thi, jitni ye akhiri baat ko sunn ke hui thi. Ek aur system owner. Kya chal raha tha yaha? Mines? Tribes? Agreements? Mr. Nicholson ka murder?

Renshu : Aur, ab mein tumse puchta hu. Kya tum hamari madad karoge???

Sawaal kisi bade se patthar ki tarah aake Veer ke upar gira. Uske haan kehte hi woh jaanta tha ki woh apne aap ko kinn anjaan khatarnaak jokhimo me daalne waala tha. Kitne gehre daldal uska intezar kar rahe the.

Renshu aur Erica dono ki nazre uske upar tiki hui thi. Abhi bhi samay tha. Agar woh chaahe toh apne aap ko peeche kheech sakta tha. Akhir, ant me uske liye sabse aham uska parivar hi the. Bewajah kisi jokhim me jaana murkhta hi thi. Woh Renshu ke favor ko kinhi aur tareeqo se bhi chuka sakta tha.

Par dono baap beti uske jawaab ka intezar kar rahe the. Aur, usne kuch derr baad apna muh khola,

Veer : Mein...

[Bhupinder Singh]

Update - 169 ~ Dispute and Escape ​

Ab tak...

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.

“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’

*Ding*

[No information available.]

Ab aage...

Alaukik saundarya!

Kya hi khubsoorti thi. Veer ne apne jeevan me na jaane kitni hi sundar stree dekhi hongi par woh har baar ye sochne par vivash ho jaata tha ki akhir ek hi sansaar me itna saundarya kaise ho sakta tha? Aur, akhir kitna abhi dekhna baaki tha?

Itna dekhne ke baad bhi ye khatam hone ka naam nahi le raha. Kitni sundar streeyaan abhi aur iss sansaar me hongi? Itna kuch dekhne ke baad bhi uska kabhi inse mann kyu nahi bhara? Woh hamesha hi inn sawaalo ke bavandar me fass jaata tha. Aur, aaj bhi yahi hua.

China
Sichuan Province, Panzhihua
Morning ~ 2:20 AM

Veer ki nazre saamne khadi laal rang ki nighty pehne uss khubsoorat ladki par tiki hui thi. Gori makhmali twacha, harr ang me sampann maans, laal sundar honth aur badi badi kaali kajraari aankhein.

Woh bhi Veer ko upar se neeche tak dekh rahi thi. Zaahir hai jaise Veer ne use check kiya tha wese hi usne bhi Veer ko check kar liya tha. Kya iss ladki ko ye nahi pata tha ki Renshu ne yaha par use bulaaya hai? Aur, agar pata tha toh woh iss tarah use rok kyu rahi thi?

Aadha minute tak toh dono ek dusre ka bas aaklan hi karte rahe. Dono kuch nahi bole. Kuch shan baad Veer ke mann me ladki ki kahi gayi baat punah goonji.

‘Who allowed you to trespass Mister?’

Veer ne use dekhte hue fir uske prashn ka uttar diya,

Veer : I was invited here.

Ladki : I know that…! Woh envelope mene hi banaya tha.

Veer : Huh!?

Veer ke mann me turant hi uss envelope ki chhavi bann ke haazir hui. Kuch derr pehle hi usne woh envelope Driver ko diya tha. Toh iska matlab uss envelope ko iss ladki ne banaya tha? Yaani ye Renshu ki hi taraf thi?

Ab Veer ko samajh aaya ki envelope ki style bhala itni ladkiyo ki tarah kyu thi. Usme itne phool patte kyu bane hue the. Itni sajawat se koi ladki hi use taiyaar kar sakti thi. Aur, woh yaha soch raha tha ki Renshu ka taste ladkiyo waala tha.

Ye jaan ke use thodi raahat mili ki Renshu uss kism ka nahi tha. Parantu, ye ladki kaun thi jo system hone ke bawajood Renshu ke hit ke liye kaam kar rahi thi?

Veer : Toh jab envelope tumne hi banaya hai toh tumhe ye bhi pata hona chahiye ki mujhe woh envelope deke yaha par invite kiya gaya hai.

Ladki : Haan! Janti hu!

Veer : What the-!? Jab jaanti ho toh rok kyu rahi ho?

Ladki : Invite kiya hai Mister. Iska matlab ye thodi hai ki tum seedhe ghuste hue andar chale aaoge. Kya tumhe iss property ke maalik ne permission di?

Woh bauhe upar chadhaate hue uss se puchi.

Veer : What the hell!? Kya woh driver Renshu ne nahi bheja mere liye? Usi ne mujhse baahar kaha ki aap andar jaa sakte hai. Aur-

Ladki : Shut up!!!!

Veer : Huh!?

Ladki : How dare you-!???

Veer : ???

Ladki : Kya kaha tumne? Renshu??? Huh??

Veer : Kya ye ghar Renshu ka nahi!?

Veer jaise jaise ‘Renshu’ kehta jaa raha tha, ladki ka gussa utna hi badhta jaa raha tha.

Ladki : Zubaan sambhaal ke Mister!

Veer : Hmm???

Ladki : Renshi nahi!! It’s ‘Lord Renshu’!!

Veer : What the-!!!

[Huh? Is she delusional or what? Lord Renshu?? Pfft~ Wahahaha! What a joke!]

Veer (frowns) : Aur tumhari tareef?

Ladki : Naam batana mein zaroori nahi samajhti.

[Narcissist! Hmm~]

Pari ne ek shabd me hi saamne khadi ladki ko define kar diya. Narcissist woh log hote the jo apne aap ko bahut upar samajhte the. Veer bas uss ladki ko dekhta raha. Woh iss waqt uss se muh ladaane ke chakkar me nahi tha. Soorat bhale kitni hi acchi kyu na ho, andar ki khubsoorti se hi insaan ko parakhna chahiye. Ye baat Veer ek baar fir jaan gaya tha.

Ladki : Follow me!!!

Veer : …

Bina Veer ki taraf dobaara dekh woh ladki be-mann se seedha palat ke andar jaane lagi aur idhar majbooran Veer ko uska peecha karna pada.

Andar se ye siheyuan ghar kayi guna bada tha. Modern equipments aur machines ke saath saath puraani cheezo se bhi ghar saja hua tha. Jagah jagah sugandhit candles aur laalten se kona kona raushan tha. Lights bhi lagi hui thi par harr jagah candles aur sirf laalten hi jal rahi thi.




[Looks like Renshu ko modern lights pasand nahi.]

‘Maybe!’

[Wese ye candle lights bhi buri nahi. What do you say? Tum, mein aur candle light dinner? Hmm? Fufu~]

‘Shut up!’

[Oh dear! You are so unromantic.]

Veer chup chaap bas apne saamne ladki ki chaal ka peecha kar raha tha. Aur, harr baar khud ko yahi yaad dila raha tha ki zaroori nahi hai ki har sundar ladki ke paas sundar dil ho. Woh chalte chalte agal bagal ghar ko bhi dekhte jaa raha tha. Ghar antiques se bhi bhara pada tha. Na jaane kitne karodo ki sampatti toh inhi antiques ki thi.

Woh harr cheez ko check bhi karta jaa raha tha aur use harr cheez ki ek anumaanit keemat jaanane ko mil rahi thi. Woh ek baat samajh gaya tha ki Renshu ke paas atyadhik paisa tha. Isme koi shaq waali baat hi nahi.

Parantu, wahi akela system owner nahi tha. Ek system owner kya karta hai aisi sthiti me ye baat saamne chal rahi woh ladki bhi bhali bhaati jaanti thi. Isliye, woh bina palte hi chalte chalte Veer se boli,

Ladki : Mind your own business. Kaha par kya rakha hai, kya cheez hai tumhe check karne ki zaroorat nahi. You are a guest so, behave like one.

Veer ki bauhe ye sunn kass uthi.

Ye ladki…! Kitni irritating thi. Ye Pari bhi samajh gayi thi. Magar, galti uski bhi thi. Woh aam jagaho par aisa kar sakta tha. Par, yaha par woh system owners ke beech me tha. Aur, unke ghar ki cheezo ko check karna kahi na kahi theek nahi tha.

Usne idhar udhar dekhna band kiya aur saamne chal rahi ladki ki patli kamar ko dekh aage badhta raha. Par, abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab woh ladki achanak se ruki aur sarr mod peeche Veer ko gusse me dekhi.

Veer : Huh?

Uske rukte hi Veer bhi ruk gaya.

Ladki (grits) : I told you to mind your own business. Didn’t I?

‘What the-!?’

[Use pata lag gaya hai ki tum uske badan ko peeche se ghoor rahe the.]

‘Don’t tell me-’

[Haan! Koi skill hogi uske paas. Beware! Tumhe itni hi garmi chadhi hai then talk to me darling~ Why bother her? Mein hu na tumhare liye. Call me ‘Mommy’ and then I will-]

‘Shut up!!!’

Ek baar punah Pari ko shaant karwate hue Veer aage badha. Iss baar uski nazre neeche thi. Na hi uss ladki par aur na hi aas paas rakhi cheezon par.



Woh dono seedhiyo ka istemal kar ek floor upar aaye aur ek kamre ki orr badhne lage. Andar aate hi Veer ne dekha ki kamra andar se kaafi bada tha. Uski nazar turant hi saamne ki orr gayi.

Saamne ek decorative ping-feng rakha hua tha.



Ping-feng darasal woh lakdi ka furniture hota tha jise fold kiya jaa sakta tha. Ise kamre ko do bhaag me baatne ke liye istemal kiya jaata tha. Bas, ise khol ke beecho beech rakhna hota tha aur ye sundar si dikhne waali screen kamre ko do hisso me baant deti thi.

Iska istemal aksar chinese parivar kara karte the. Aur toh aur iska upyog kapde badalne ki screen ki tarah bhi kiya jaata tha. Ye ek barrier ya deewaar ki tarah kaam karta tha.

Yaha par bhi Veer ke saamne maujood ye ping-feng ek screen ki tarah hi kaam kar raha tha. Kyuki, ping-feng ke uss taraf use kisi insaan ki parchhaayi nazar aa rahi thi. Koi peeche kapde badal raha tha.

Ladki : I’m here, Dad!

Veer : Hmm?

Dad?? Veer ke mann me kuch sawaal paida hue. Par iske pehle ki woh inke jawaab khoj paata saamne se ek aadmi ping-feng ke baahar nikal ke aaya. Uski oonchi kad-kaathi dekh Veer ki aankhein chaudi ho gayi aur use uske sawaal ka jawaab bhi mil gaya.

Li Renshu!!!

Renshu : Mere ghar me tumhara swaagat hai, Veer!!!

Uski bhaari bharkam awaaz kamre me goonj gayi. Renshu pichli baar ki hi tarah dikhayi pad raha tha. Lambi lambi daadhi aur baal, bhara hua shareer. Toh wahi, Veer ke bagal se khadi ladki ko bhi akhir Veer ka naam pata chal gaya. Ye wahi ladki thi jo kuch din pehle Renshu se baat kar rahi thi. Renshu ki apni beti. Yahi woh ladki thi jise Veer ke envelope kholne par turant hi uska abhaas ho gaya tha.

Veer : Y-Ye-!? Ye tumhari beti hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Kyu?

Par Veer ke jawaab dene se pehle hi Renshu ki beti tapaak se bol padi,

Ladki : Hmph~ Mujhe toh laga tha tumhari ‘hindi’ bhaasha me ‘aap’ aur ‘tum’ ka alag alag mehatv hai. Par, lagta hai tum jaise ladko ko uska sahi se istemaal karna nahi aata. Itni bhi samajh nahi hai ki kaha par kise ‘aap’ kehna hai? Aur kise ‘tum’? Stupid!!!

Veer : ???

Veer use thoda ghoor ke dekha jaise samajhna chaah raha ho ki akhir ye ladki chaahti kya thi uss se? Kahi na kahi use itna andaza lag gaya tha ki ye ladki apne pita ki taraf behad hi wafadar, aagyakari aur aadarkari thi. Par, use kuch bhi kehne ki zaroorat nahi padi kyuki turant hi Renshu ki oonchi awaaz ne waha sabko shaant kar diya.

Renshu (yells) : Ericaaaaa!!!!!

Aur, apne pita ki oonchi awaaz sunn, Erica turant hi seham gayi. Sarr jhukaate hue usne fauran hi kaha,

Erica : Sorry Dad!

Renshu : Veer hamara mehman hai. Koi karzdaar nahi.

Erica : Kya woh favor karz nahi the Dad? Akhir humne inki jaan jo bachaayi thi.

Woh Veer ki taraf dekhte hue muh fula kar boli.

Renshu : Woh mera aur Veer ke beech ka mamla hai. Maine uski madad ki thi. Aur, woh meri madad karne ke liye aaj yaha par hai. Ek system owner ka dusre system owner ki madad karna hi sahi karm hai. Ye baat tum acche se jaanti ho. Ahinda se hamare mehmaano ki khatirdari me mujhe tumhari taraf se koi bhi kami mehsoos nahi honi chahiye.

Erica (sarr jhukate hue) : Y-Yes Dad! Par, inn mister se bhi keh dijiye ki ye aap ko aapke naam se na bulaaye. Aap yaha ke ‘Lord’ ho Dad. Nobody is stronger than you. Aur, inko bhi izzat karte aana chahiye. Aur-

Renshu : Veer jo chaahe mujhe bula sakta hai. Use inn formalities me shamil hone ki koi zaroorat nahi.

Erica (baffled) : Wh-Whaaatttt???

Woh ekdum stabdh thi. Kabhi bhi uske Dad ne apne se itni chhoti umr waale ladke ko aisi azaadi nahi di thi. Fir, Veer ko kaise? Akhir, aisi kya khaas baat thi iss ladke me?

Woh apne daant meeste hue Veer ko dekhi. Apne pita ke liye uska sammaan aseem tha. Harr aadmi uske pita ke saamne sarr jhukata tha. Yaha tak ki China ki apni government ke officials bhi uske saamne izzat se pesh aate the. Kisi ki majaal nahi thi ki uske Dad ke saamne koi oonchi awaaz me baat kar sake. Toh, fir ye ladka kaun tha? Bhala ise itni chhooth kyu mili hui thi?

Veer toh mann hi mann prafullit ho raha tha. Akhir, iss ladki ko apni kadwi dawayi ka swaad mil hi gaya. Erica jaise hi Veer ki orr dekhi, Veer ek kapti muskaan liye use hi dekh raha tha.

Veer : Heh~

Erica (gusse me) : Wha-!!?? Y-You- You freaking-!!!

Renshu : Hamare mehmaan ke liye ek garma garam chai banao Erica! Aao, Veer!

Kehte hue woh kamre ke daayi taraf chal diya jaha baithak bani hui thi. Aur, uske saath saath hi Veer bhi peeche peeche badh gaya. Par, Erica ko toh aaj jaise jhatke par jhatke lag rahe the.

Erica : Wh-What?? M-Mein? Chai banau? Aur, iske liye?

Renshu ne jab palat ke prashn bhari nazro se use ghoora toh woh turant hi apni nazre churaate hue haami bhari,

Erica : L-Laati hu!

Aur, waha se baayi orr badh wahi par lage ek induction chulhe me bartan rakh woh paani bhar usme chai chadhaane lagi.

Renshu ne Veer ko neeche baithaya. Neeche ek soft sa cushion baithne ke liye bana hua tha. Woh bhi apni jagah par Veer ke saamne baitha. Gol akaar ki table jiski height lagbhag 30 cm hogi unn dono ke beech maujood thi aur kamra laalten aur mombattiyo se raushan tha.

Renshu : Aane me koi taqleef toh nahi hui na?

Veer : Nahi! Bas, raasta thoda lamba tha. Ye poori property tumhari hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!

Veer : Great!!

Renshu : Tum soch rahe hoge ki bhala aisi jagah par mujhe property kaise mil gayi? Ye ilaaka toh jangal se lagta hai aur dekha jaaye toh iss par sarkaar ka haq hai. Hai na?

Veer (nods) : Right! Baahar jab mein car se utra tha toh mere dimaag me sabse pehle yahi aaya tha.

Renshu : Uske peeche bhi ek lambi kahani hai. Mere pita ji ne shuru se hi China ke liye bahut kuch kiya hai. Iss zameen par reh ke unhone bahut kuch China ke liye daav pe lagaya hai.

Veer : Ohh!

Renshu : Saral aur kam shabdo me kahu toh… Dekho Veer! Idhar dekho! Isme tumhe behtar se samajh me aayega.

Kehte hue usne saamne rakhi gol table par ek naksha pesh kiya jo ki China ka hi tha. Par, iss nakshe me China ke provinces me alag alag jangal jo maujood the woh aur bhi behtar dhang se nazar aa rahe the.

Renshu : Dekho Veer! Hum abhi Sichuan ke sheher Panzhihua ke baahri ilaake me maujood hai. Iske baad se Xishuangbanna ka jangal lagna shuru ho jaata hai.

Woh nakshe par apni ungli rakh Veer ko sab kuch acche se samjha raha tha. Aur Veer bhi bade hi dhyaan se sab kuch samajh raha tha. Toh wahi chai bana rahi Erica dur se hi muh fula ke Veer ko apne mann me khari khoti suna rahi thi. Aur, uska saath nibha rahi thi uski apni system~

Genesis!!!

‘Ye bewakoof ladka! Hmph! Zara bhi respect nahi hai isme. Akhir Dad ne kya dekh liya isme?’

[Mujhe nahi pata. But He’s handsome hehe!]

‘Tum handsome ladko ke alawa kuch aur sochti bhi ho ya nahi?’

[Sochti hu na!!]

‘Aur woh kya hai madam???’

[Ek strong aur powerful man! Ahhh~]

‘Shut up!!! Jab dekho tab bas strong powerful handsome man ki ratt lagayi rehti ho. Hum ladkiya bhi strong hoti hai.’

[Yes! But in the end… A woman always longs for a powerful and handsome man.]

‘Hmph! Tumhari ideology mujhe nahi samajh aati.’

[Ek na ek din samajh jaogi tum bhi.]

‘Aur kya pata? Kaho ye mister mujhse bhi fisaddi nikle? I think I can take him on.’

[Ye bhul mat karna. Never judge a system owner without finding out his abilities. Woh koi aam insaan nahi hai. He’s also a system owner like you. Koi baat hogi usme jo tumhare Dad ne uss par trust kar ke use invitation bheja. Ye baat tum bhi acche se jaanti ho ki tumhare Dad trust ko leke kitne sakht hai.]

‘Th-That’s right! Dad bina wajah iss tarah kisi par bhi trust nahi karte.’

[Yes! Aur, isliye tumhe kisi ko bhi halke me nahi lena hai. It’s better to be safe than sorry.]

‘Theek hai! Agar mein uss se lad nahi sakti toh kam se kam use aazma toh sakti hu.’

[Aur ek baat! Usne uss Crimson ko maara hai. Ye bhi yaad rakhna.]

‘Toh? Humne kaha uss Crimson ko dekha hai? Dad se hi suna tha jitna suna tha. Hume toh ye bhi nahi pata ki akhir woh kitna taqatwar tha. Tum khamakha Veer ko chane ke jhaad par chadha rahi ho.’

[Just listen to me and don’t fuck with him.]

‘Alright! Alright! But tum befaltu hi darr rahi ho Genie! Dad se strong koi nahi hai. Woh hamara kuch nahi kar sakta.’

Uski baat par uski pyaari Genie yaani ki Genesis ne koi jawaab nahi diya.

‘Aur isko toh mein ab batati hu. Mere upar hass raha tha huh? Let’s see how he laughs after this.’

[Tum kya soch rahi ho ab?]

Erica ne chai bana li thi. Usne Renshu aur apni chai pehle hi chhaan ke nikal li aur bachi hui chai me usne-

[What the hell? Kya kar rahi ho tum? Are you testing his patience? Mene abhi tumhe samjhaya tha ki don’t fuck with him. Hum abhi uske baare me theek se-]

‘Hehe! Don’t worry! Erica ka koi uske saamne mazak banaye ye Erica ko pasand nahi. Tum dekho bas ab-!!!’

Woh dono aapas me mann me hi khusur pusur karti rahi aur idhar Renshu sab kuch vistaar me Veer ko samjha raha tha.

Renshu : Sichuan ke neeche hi Yunnan Province lagta hai Veer. Nakshe me dekh ke tumhe samajh aa raha hoga.




Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Renshu : Yunnan me hi Xishuangbanna asal me sthit hai. China ka sabse bada jangal. Lekin, uss jangal ka baahri hissa yahi se lagna shuru ho jaata hai.

Veer : Okay!

Renshu : Baat kuch saal pehle ki hai. Xishuangbanna kyuki ek jangal hai toh tum ye jaante hi hoge ki jangalo me tribal log raha karte hai.

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Ye baat Veer jaanta tha. Harr jangal me kahi na kahi aadivaasi log rehte hi the. Alag alag tribes se hote hue woh jangalo me hi apna ghar, apna samaaj, apne niyam, apne qaayde sab kuch bana liya karte the.

Renshu : Uss samay bhi ek tribe waha raha karti thi. Jangal ke paas hi tab kahi se pata laga tha ki waha par ek mine ki khoj ki gayi hai.

Veer : Mine!?

Renshu : Hmm! Elements se bhari mine.

Veer (frowns) : Kaise elements?

Renshu : Kayi saare. Mines me keval ek element nahi hota Veer. Khodne par na jaane kya kya mil sakta hai. Aur, uss samay kuch metals mile the. Kuch elements bhi jo ki-

Veer : Jo ki?

Renshu : Radioactive the.

Veer (surprised) : Ek radioactive mine!?



Veer chakit tha. Radioactive mine koi aam mine nahi thi. Ye woh mines hoti thi jaha par radiation bhi paaya jaata tha. Iska matlab saaf tha ki mine me radioactive elements bhi maujood the. Aise me uss mine ki kya ahamiyat thi, ye Veer anumaan laga liya tha.

Renshu : Ab agar aise me mine ki khoj hoti hai. Toh tumhe kya lagta hai? Woh jagah kiske haq me jaani chahiye?

Veer : Government ke?

Renshu (nods) : Exactly! Lekin, shuruati daur me aisa hua nahi tha. Tumhe pata hai kyu?

Veer : Kyuki, jangal ke tribal log iss se taiyaar nahi the.

Renshu (nods) : Bilkul sahi! Unke anusaar jangal unki apni zameen thi. Mine agar government ke haatho me di… toh mine par jaane ke liye aane jaane ka raasta bhi dena padta. Tribal log ye kabhi nahi chaahte the ki unke ilaake me koi bhi baahri vyakti aaye din dakhal de.

Veer : Fir?

Renshu : Yahi par fir mere pita ji kahani me aate hai. Woh ek forest ranger the aur Tribal logo ki boli bhaasha se bahut acche se parichit the. Woh unhe samajhte the aur unse baat kiya karte the. Wahi the jinhone iss samjhaute ko karwaya tha.

Veer : Ohh!!

Renshu : Hmm! Aur, unhi ke itne saare yogdan ki wajah se pita jii ko uss samay yaha ye zameen dii gayi thi.

Veer : Jo ki kaafi badi zameen hai.

Renshu : Government ke liye kya zyada zaroori tha uss samay? Ye kuch acres ki zameen ya fir radioactive elements se ladi ek mine?

Veer : Hmm! Agar iss tarah rakha jaaye toh harr baat sense banaati hai. I see!

Renshu : Hmm! Aur, pita ji ke jaane ke baad ye zameen fir mere naam hui. Ab mein yaha ka maalik hu.

Veer : So that’s how it is!!

Woh dono abhi baat hi kar rahe the jab unke baayi orr se Erica ki awaaz aayi, “Chai taiyaar hai!”

Woh ek tray me chinese cups me chai bhar unke paas aayi aur tray ko neeche table par rakh di. Tray se ek cup uthaate hue usne sabse pehle apne Dad ko chai serve ki aur uske baad Veer ke liye ek cup uthaate hue badi si muskaan apne hontho par bikhere uske nazdeek aayi.

Erica : I’m sorry for my behavior. Dad se koi bhi iss tarah baat karta hai toh mujhe bas accha nahi lagta. I hope tum mujhe maaf kar doge?

Uske iss ravaiyye par Renshu khush hua aur muskuraya bhi. Toh wahi Veer bhi dobaara se uske baare me sochne par vivash ho gaya. Ye ladki itni buri bhi nahi thi.

Veer : It’s okay!

Usne haami bhar khushi khushi Erica ke haatho se chai ka cup liya. Sabhi apni apni jagah virajman the. Erica bhi ek cushion leke unke hi bagal se baith gayi thi. Renshu ne haath se ishaara kar Veer ko aage badhne ko kaha. Sharmane ki zaroorat nahi thi. Veer ne bhi cup me garam garam chai ko ek do baar foonk maar ke ghooth liya.

Aur tabhi-

‘Huh!!???’

Uska muh andar hi andar itni kass ke sikuda. Woh mann me hi cheenkh pada.

‘Fucking bitchhhhhh!!!!!’

Chai me cheeni nahi balki… namak maujood tha.

Uss swaad ko shabdo me bayaa nahi kiya jaa sakta tha. Itna wahiyaat tha. Idhar Veer ki haalat ek ghooth pee ke hi khasta thi toh wahi dusri orr Renshu chai ki chuski lete hue uske swaad par muskura raha tha.

Renshu : Chai acchi bani hai Erica! Hamare mehman India se hai. Aur, tumne iss chai se bilkul bhi niraash nahi kiya. Kyu hai na Veer? Kaisi lagi?

Kaisi lagi? Yeh chai bechaare Veer ke gale nahi utar rahi thi. Jaise darr ke maare gaand sikud jaaya karti thi kuch usi tarah abhi Veer ke gaal the jo andar se sikude hue the. Use ab sab samajh aa chuka tha. Erica ne ye sab jaan boojh ke kiya tha. Woh uss se apna badla le rahi thi. Cup par uski pakad mazboot ho gayi. Par, apne chehre par usne koi bhaav aane nahi diye. Iss ladki ko toh wo baad me dekh lega.

Veer : Ahaha! B-Bahut acchi hai! *nods* Waqai!

Idhar uska reaction dekh Erica mann hi mann thahaake maar rahi thi. Aur, jaise jataane ki koshish kar rahi thi ki woh koi aeri-geri ladki nahi balki Li Renshu ki beti thi.

Kahi na kahi ek zaroori aur aham baat bhi Veer ne apne mann me baitha li thi. Li Renshu aur uski beti Li Erica… Dono ke paas system tha. Toh kya woh iss waqt saare system owners me se sabse zyada taqatwar nahi the? Akhir, woh do log the. Baap aur beti! Do system owners ka ek saath hona. Koi bhi unhe halke me nahi le sakta tha.

Chai ko kuch derr side rakhte hue Veer ne Renshu ki taraf dekha aur kaha,

Veer : Mere kuch sawaal hai.

Renshu : Hmm! Pucho!

Veer : Sabse pehla sawaal ye hai ki police ya government ne tribal people ke khilaaf kuch kiya kyu nahi? Mine jaisi cheez hamesha government ke hisse me hi aati hai. Toh agar government chaahti toh tribal logo ko zabardasti bhi toh jangal se nikaal sakti thi na?

Renshu : Hmm! Accha sawaal hai. Aur, iska jawaab hai~ Nahi! Government aisa nahi kar sakti thi. Kyu? Uska kaaran batata hu.

Veer : ???

Renshu : Veer, Xishuangbanna jangal kareeban 20,000 square kilometers me faila hua hai. Jangal bada hai. Chhota mota nahi.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Mene tumhe kuch derr pehle tribes ke baare me bataya tha.

Veer : Yahi ki jangal me tribes ke log raha karte the!?

Renshu : Hmm! Par, unme se ek tribe mukhya thi jiski jansankhya bhi baakiyo se kahi adhik thi. Aur, woh tribe thi~ Long!

Veer : Long?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! ‘Long’ Tribe. Sabse khatarnak aur sabse ladaaku tribe. Jaadu totke, janvaro ko niyantrit karna, inn sab me bahut aage rehti thi.

Veer : Oh!?

Renshu : Jangal bahut ghana hai. Aise me jab jab Long tribe ke logo ko zabardasti apne ilaake ko dene ki baat kahi jaati thi toh tribe ke log hamesha ladne par utar aate the. Yaha tak ki ek-do logo ko jaan se maar bhi diya tha unhone. Tribe itni khatarnaak thi ki government khoon kharaabe par nahi utar sakti thi.

Veer : !!!??

Renshu : Ye sach hai! Isliye, mere pita ji ke dwara karwaya gaya ye samjhauta bahut hi upar maana jaata hai. Aur, unka naam aaj bhi aadar se liya jaata hai.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Koi aur sawaal?

Veer : Hmm! Dusra sawaal! Ye samjhauta akhir aise hi toh hua nahi hoga? Itni asaani se kaise maan gaye Long Tribe ke log? Sirf agar baato se hi manana tha toh pehle hi maan jaate? Tumhare pita ji ke aane se aisa kya hua?

Renshu Veer ke prashn par muskuraya aur use kuch derr dekha.

Renshu (smiles) : Mein sahi tha jo tumhe invitation diya.

Erica : Huh??

Bagal me baithi Erica jo ab tak table par apne dono haath tikaaye dono ke vartalaap ko dhyaan se sunn rahi thi woh firse apne Dad ko Veer ki taraf rujhaan rakhte dekh hairan reh gayi. Cheenkh cheenkh ke khud se yahi sawaal karti ki ~ Akhir iss ladke me aisa tha kya???

Renshu : Tum sahi ho Veer! Samjhauta aise hi nahi hua tha. Ek agreement kiya gaya tha. Jo ki abhi bhi kaagzo me maujood hai government aur Long tribe ke paas bhi.

Veer : Agreement?

Renshu : Hmm! Agreement jo mere pita jii ne karwaya tha. Aur, agreement ye tha ki ~ Mine desh ki bhoomi ka hissa hai jisme anokhe padaarth maujood hai. Zaahir hai uss par desh ki sarkaar ka hi haq hoga. Aur, jangal me Long tribe ho ya koi bhi tribe, iss par rok nahi laga sakti. Akhir, ye sabhi ke hit ke liye hai.

Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Lekin, government ko sirf aur sirf mine aur uss tak jaane ki hi access di jayegi. Woh baaki jangal me tribes ke log ya unke ilaake me hastakshep nahi kar sakte the.

Veer (frowns) : Aur Long Tribe iss se raazi ho gayi? Tumne abhi toh bataya tha na ki tribal log ye kabhi nahi chaahenge ki unke ilaake se koi bhi raasta banaya jaaye aur baahri vyakti-

Renshu : Pehle sunn toh lo poori baat.

Veer : !!?

Renshu : Of course! Shuruat me Long Tribe iss se bilkul bhi raazi nahi thi. Aur, yahi pe aata hai iss agreement ka second point.

Veer : Huh???

Renshu : For the allowance of transportation and ease of conduct from the tribal people, Long Tribe will be accorded 1/10th portion of the mine excluding the radioactive region. Ye tha second point.

Veer ki aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Veer : I-Iska matlab-!?

Renshu (nods) : Tumne sahi samjha. Mine ka 1/10th hissa Long Tribe ko de diya gaya tha.

Veer : Magar, Tribe ke logo ke liye woh mine kis kaam ki bhala?

Renshu : Ek aur accha sawaal. Veer, mujhe ye batao ki aam aadmi ko kis cheez ki sabse zyada zaroorat hoti hai? Koi aisi cheez jiske bina aam aadmi zindagi guzaar nahi sakta par tribal ke log araam se jee sakte hai.

Veer : Paisa!?

Renshu (smiles) : Ekdum sahi! Toh aise me Long Tribe ko fir kya chahiye tha? Paisa unka main maqsad nahi hai. Agar unhe paisa kamana hota toh woh jangalo me thodi reh rahe hote.

Veer : Hmm!

Veer apne hontho ko ek haath se chhipaaye ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Fir kuch derr baad bola,

Veer : Right! Jangalo me tribes rehti hai toh unke apne cultures hote hai. Mine ka istemal unke nazariye se kayi cheezo ke liye kiya jaa sakta tha. Jaise ki agar gold aur silver mine se milta hai toh uss se woh jwellery bana sakte hai. Koi aur metals milte hai toh woh unse bartan ya koi auzaar bhi bana sakte hai. Lekin, iske liye bhi toh unhe machines toh lagengi hi na? Woh ye sab akele kaise kar sakte hai?

Renshu : Old traditional method Veer.

Veer (surprised) : Unse ye aati hai?

Renshu : Maine tumse kaha tha ki Long Tribe bahut aage thi. Jaadu totke, maar dhaad, jaanvaro ko paalne ke alaawa ek ye kala bhi thi jisme woh maahir the.

Veer : I see! Agar, unse khud se ye sab banaate aata hai toh- ek prakaar se unhe fir paise ki zaroorat hi nahi. Woh saari suvidhaaye apne jangal me hi dhoondh sakte hai. Sheher jaane ki jo dependency thi woh-

Renshu : Samapt ho gayi.

Veer : Yeah!

Renshu : Aur, isliye akhir me Long Tribe iss faisle se raazi hui thi.

Veer : I got the picture now.

Renshu ke chehre par bhaav tabhi achanak se gambheer ho gaye.

Renshu (frowns) : But the picture has changed now.

Veer : Huh!!???

***

Heibei Province,
Beijing's Police station,
Morning - 3:08 AM~

Subah lag chuki thi parantu akaash me andhera hi chhaaya hua tha. Sooraj ko nikalne me abhi kaafi samay tha. Aur, itni raat gaye Beijing ke police station me police officers bhi apni night duty me kaam kam aur kharraate zyada le rahe the.

Night duty aksar ek bahaana hi hota tha unka. Ye toh bas bolne ki baat thi ki night duty kathin hoti thi. Asal sacchayi toh woh jaante the ki raat me khud qaidi bhi so jaaya karta tha. Risk kaafi kam hota tha. Aur, agar koi bhaagne ki firaaq me ho bhi toh- bhaagne me aksar asafal hi hota tha. 1-2% hi aise cases hote the jaha par qaidi faraar hone me qamyaab ho paata tha.

Yahi soch ke night duty me officers apni apni jagah liye kharraate le rahe the. Yaha tak ki jail me maujood qaidi bhi chenn ki neend me so rahe the. Siwae ek jann ke...

Ek khubsoorat si stree wahi jail ke ek cell me band thi. Patli si deewar se lagi hui patiya par woh baithi hui thi. Aur, apne hi vichaaro me leen thi.

Ye koi aur nahi Garofano hi thi jisko police ne apni giraft me le liya tha. Woh ab bhi samajh nahi paa rahi thi ki akhir ye sab ghatit kaise hua magar, abhi uss par dimaag kharch karne se behtar tha ye sochna ki yaha se baahar kaise nikla jaaye. Aur, isi ke liye Freya ki awaaz uske mann me turant hi goonj uthi,

[Kis cheez ka intezar kar rahi ho? This is the right moment. Do it.]

'Lekin, security cameras ka kya?'

[Pehle yaha se nikalna zaroori hai. Pehle ek step toh implement karo.]

'Hmm!'

Freya ki baat se Garofano raazi akhir ho hi gayi. Woh apni jagah se uthi aur aur salaakho ke paas aate hue usne awaaz lagaayi.

"Hello-!!!!"

"Hello!!???"

Woh lagataar unme se ek police officer ko bulaati rahi. Cell ki chaavi usi ke jeb me rakhi hui thi. Jaise tese kayi baar zorr se awaaz lagane ke baad woh officer apni neend se jaag hi gaya.

Officer : H-Huh!?? K-Kaun hai?

Uski aankhon se abhi bhi dhundhlapann hata nahi tha.

Garofano : Excuse me!?

Officer : H-Huh!!?? Kya hai?

Garofano : Yaha mere cell me paani khatam ho gaya hai. Peene ka paani mil sakta hai kya?

Uski iss request par Officer ne zyada kuch nahi socha. Bas sada sa muh banaate hue woh utha aur wahi table par rakhi usne ek paani ki bottle uthaayi aur Garofano ke cell ki orr badh gaya.

Paas aate hi usne jaise hi Garofano ko bottle thamaayi use achanak hi apne gale par kuch chubhan si hui. Kuch mehsoos hua. Par jab tak ki woh apna haath gardan par le jaake uss cheez ko dekh paata ki woh kya thi... Uski aankhon ke saamne andhera chhaa gaya aur woh dhadaam se neeche gir pada.

Uske neeche girte hi Garofano ne fatafat jhuk ke haath ko cell ke baahar le jaate hue uski pant ko tatola aur jeb me haath daalte hi cell ki chaavi uske haath me lag gayi.

Prison cell ke darwaaze ko kholte hue woh turant hi bahar aayi. Sab ke sab so rahe the. Par baahar maujood guard ke baare me kuch kaha nahi jaa sakta tha. Aur na hi CCTV operators ka jo cabin me baithe hue the.

'Step 1 done!'

[Time kam hai. Yaha khade nahi reh sakte. Run!!!]

'CCTVs ka kya? Usme toh sab kuch saaf saaf dikh gaya hoga.'

[Tumhara baahar aate bas record hua hoga. Apni skill use karte hue nahi. Don't worry. Just run!!]

'Par CCTVs se agar evidence mita de toh?'

[Very good! Tum yahi karti rehna. Agar woh log abhi hume dekh rahe ho toh? Woh jaag rahe ho toh? Ab tak unn logo ne kaho baaki officers ko complaint bhi kar di ho. Aur, tum yaha khadi rehna. Just run dear! We can handle this later.]

'Alright!'

Usne fir apna koi dimaag nahi lagaaya. She just needed to escape. Freya ki baat maan woh turant hi bhaag ke baahar ki orr nikli. Baahar jo do guards the woh jaag rahe the. Poori tarah active aur chaukanne toh nahi the lekin jaag rahe the.

Unn par bhi apni same tactic apnaate hue unhe behoshi ki haalat me chorr Garofano police station se faraar ho chuki thi.

Magar, uske bhaagte hi CCTVs waalo ne dekh liya tha. Afra tafri mach chuki thi. Garofano ko ek prison escapee ka darja de diya gaya tha. Tamaam stations me alert jaari kar diya gaya tha.

Idhar woh bhaagte hue bas yaha se dur jaati jaa rahi thi. Use iss waqt ek hi vyakti ke paas pahuchna tha. Aur woh tha ~

Li Renshu!!!

***

Sichuan Province, Panzhihua,
Li Renshu's house,
Night - 3:18 AM~

"Hmm! Toh ye baat hai. This is serious!!!"

Veer ne ek gehre chintan ke baad kaha. Kuch derr pehle Renshu ne use kaafi kuch bata diya tha. Woh unhi ke baare me soch raha tha.

Kuch derr pehle...

Renshu : Aur, isliye akhir me Long Tribe iss faisle se raazi hui thi.

Veer : I got the picture now.

Renshu ke chehre par bhaav tabhi achanak se gambheer ho gaye.

Renshu (frowns) : But the picture has changed now.

Veer : Huh!!???

Renshu : Maine tumhe bataya tha na ki Xishuangbana me ek mukhya Tribe thi.

Veer : Long Tribe!?

Renshu : Hmm! Aur tumhe ye bataya tha ki unhe mine ka 1/10th hissa diya gaya tha.

Veer (nods) : Haan!

Renshu : Well, toh ab dikkat ye hai ki Long Tribe ne mine ka ab 1/10th nahi balki poora aadha hissa apne qabze me kar liya hai.

Veer : What!? Kaise? A-Aur bhala kyu? Government kya kar rahi thi?

Renshu : Batata hu. Jaise mere pita jii ne Long Tribe aur government ke beech ek agreement karwaya tha. Kuch wesa hi mene bhi kuch saal pehle kiya tha. Agreement toh nahi par mene, mere aadmiyo ne aur Long Tribe ke logo ne milke ek alliance banayi thi.

Veer : Alliance?

Renshu : That's right!

Erica : Aur uss Alliance ka naam tha ~ The Order of the Legion.

Veer : Huh???

Renshu : Erica sahi keh rahi hai. Iss naam se hamari alliance ko banaya gaya tha. Ye ek muh bola samjhauta tha. Dono ke hit ke liye.

Veer : Aur iss Alliance ka purpose kya tha?

Renshu : Jangal aur mine, dono ka protection.

Veer : Fir Long Tribe apni baato se mukar kyu gayi?

Renshu : Uspe hi aa raha hu. Par, unke mukarne se alliance zaroor bikhar gayi. Ab do pehlu bann chuke the. Ek unka apna pehlu aur ek hamara.

Veer : ....

Renshu : The Order of the Legion do bhaago me batt gaya. Ek bann gaya, 'The Order' jo ki mere haatho me hai.




Renshu : Aur dusra Long Tribe ka ho chuka tha ~ 'The Legion.'




Veer : Hmm!

Renshu : Ab tumhare pehle sawal par aate hai ki government kya kar rahi thi jab Long Tribe ne ye sab qabze me lena shuru kiya. Right?

Veer : Haan!

Renshu : Aur ye ki Long Tribe apne iss alliance se mukar kyu gayi. Hai na?

Veer (nods) : Haan!

Renshu : Jaise mein 'Order' ka Lord maana jaata hu. Wese hi...

Veer : ???

Renshu : Long Tribe ka bhi ek Lord hai. The Lord of the 'Legion.' Also known as The Ghost of Xishuangbanna. And also known as ~ Jaw Long!!!

Veer : Jaw Long!!!?

Renshu ne gambheerta me uski aankhon me aankhein daalte hue dekha aur fir ahista se kaha,

Renshu : Aur sanchhipt me kahu toh- Hamari hi tarah... Ek system owner!!!

*Badump*

Baaki baato se Veer ko itni hairani nahi hui thi, jitni ye akhiri baat ko sunn ke hui thi. Ek aur system owner. Kya chal raha tha yaha? Mines? Tribes? Agreements? Mr. Nicholson ka murder?

Renshu : Aur, ab mein tumse puchta hu. Kya tum hamari madad karoge???

Sawaal kisi bade se patthar ki tarah aake Veer ke upar gira. Uske haan kehte hi woh jaanta tha ki woh apne aap ko kinn anjaan khatarnaak jokhimo me daalne waala tha. Kitne gehre daldal uska intezar kar rahe the.

Renshu aur Erica dono ki nazre uske upar tiki hui thi. Abhi bhi samay tha. Agar woh chaahe toh apne aap ko peeche kheech sakta tha. Akhir, ant me uske liye sabse aham uska parivar hi the. Bewajah kisi jokhim me jaana murkhta hi thi. Woh Renshu ke favor ko kinhi aur tareeqo se bhi chuka sakta tha.

Par dono baap beti uske jawaab ka intezar kar rahe the. Aur, usne kuch derr baad apna muh khola,

Veer : Mein...

Aaj ke liye itna hi guys.
This update consists of around 6.4k words. Pichla like target complete nahi hua tha by the way. Sed lyf. Arc ka build up hota jaa raha hai. Dheere dheere harr cheez saamne aa rahi hai. Ye update kaafi informational hai toh ise araam se aur bareeki se padhna. Dispute ko darshaya gaya hai. Isi ke ird gird iska poora arc hai. Baaki factors jo aur bhi suspense waale hai woh end arc me aayenge. Baaki, likes thokne ka aur revos rakhna ka. Target 160 hai. 150 nahi.
Dhanyavaad.

Nice update
