Mega Update

Update - 154 ~ The Prestige's Ordeal​

Ab tak...

Kintu, samasya kabhi na aaye aisa kaise ho sakta tha. Jaha abhi sab kuch accha chal raha tha ki itne me hi Bhumika ko ek call aaya. Usne call receive kar jab baat suni toh uski aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Phone cut karte hi woh Veer ko dekhi,

Bhumika : Veer!! Ek problem ho gayi hai.

Magar woh akeli nahi thi. Truck se Prachi daudte hue aayi aur jaldbazi me boli,

Prachi : Ek nahi-! Do problem hai!!

Veer : Huh!!???

Ab aage...

Kehte hai ki bhagwan jab deta hai toh chhappar faad ke deta hai. Magar, kayi baar aisa bhi hota hai ki ek musibat ki jagah kaho anek musibatein saath me hi aa jaaye.

Veer iss samay isi duwidha me tha. Ek taraf woh Bhumika ko dekh raha tha jo chinta me uske saamne khadi thi toh wahi dusri taraf Prachi ko jo food truck se nikal ke jaldbaazi me aayi thi.

Samasyao ne darwaza khat-khata diya tha. Akhir, chal kya raha tha yaha? Veer ne pehle Bhumika se hi puchna sahi samjha.

Veer : Pehle aap bataiye! Kya hua hai?

Bhumika (frowns) : Veer! Ek bohut badi problem ho gayi hai.

Veer : Hotel me kuch-!?

Bhumika (nods) : Haan!

Veer : Kya dikkat hai?

Bhumika : Woh- Woh Head Chef-!!!

Veer : Head Chef?

Bhumika : Hmm! He's very troublesome to deal with. Pehle bhi woh kayi baar aisa kar chuka hai.

Veer : Kya kiya hai usne?

Bhumika : Baaki chefs ko bhadkana. Pay increase karne ke liye. Mein pehle hi 2 baar payment badha chuki hu. Magar-!! Oh no! Firse call aa raha hai. Veer! Mujhe jaana hoga!

Veer (nods) : Ek kaam kariye. Aap pohuchiye, mein aapke peeche peeche aata hu.

Bhumika : Alright!

Bhumika jaldbaazi me daudte hue waha se apni car ki orr nikli. Par, aisi sthiti me uska akela jaana theek nahi tha. Isliye,

Veer : Arohi dii?

Arohi (nods) : Mmm~ I got it!

Woh toh jaise bina kuch kahe hi samajh gayi. Bina Veer ko jawaab diye woh waha se tezz qadmo ke saath Bhumika ke peeche peeche chal di. Aur idhar Veer ke hontho par ek halki si muskaan saj gayi. Woh fir Prachi ki orr muda,

Veer : Ab tum batao! Kya hua hai?

Prachi : W-Woh-!

Veer : Ghabrane ki zaroorat nahi. Khul ke batao!

Prachi : Okay! Actually, baat ye hai ki- Ab aap toh jaante ho ki aapke kitne food trucks hai. Magar, aap harr ek ko daily dekhne nahi aa sakte. Right?

Veer : Mmm-hmm!

Prachi : Toh aaye din workers badalte rehte hai. Koi jaata hai toh koi naya aa jaata hai.

Veer : So?

Prachi : So, hua ye hai ki- Sir! Kaushik naam ka ek ladka hai.

Veer : Kaushik?

Prachi (nods) : Hmm! Woh morning waala breakfast ka jo ek aur food truck hai usme rehta hai. Uske saath ek aur ladka hai. Uske saath wala ladka accha hai lekin ye Kaushik-

Veer : Kuch kiya hai kya?

Prachi : N-Nahi!

Veer : Toh?

Prachi : Ab ho sakta hai mein zyada soch rahi hu. P-Par Sonali di jo hai-

Veer : Sonali ka kya?

Prachi : Sir, woh Kaushik aaj kal har roz shaam ko yaha aata hai aur fir Sonali di se meethi meethi baatein karta hai.

Veer : Hmm?

Prachi : Aur Sonali di use bas daant deti hai magar- Mujhe lagta hai jaise Kaushik ki baatein unhe pasand bhi aati hai.

Veer : I see! So, what's the problem?

Prachi : Problem ye hai ki- Mujhe lagta hai ki woh Kaushik kuch theek nahi hai.

Veer : Aisa kyu bhala? Agar woh theek nahi tha toh use hire kisne kiya?

Prachi : Sonali di ne hi. Uske kaam me koi dikkat nahi hai Sir.

Veer : Fir kya dikkat hai? Behaviour?

Prachi : Haan! Ho sakta hai mein kuch zyada overthink kar rahi hu. Mujhe jo laga woh mene aapko bata diya. Mujhe woh ladka theek nahi lagta.

Veer : Theek nahi lagta as in? Kya kuch gadbad kar raha hai? Ya kar sakta hai?

Prachi : Actually-

Veer : Prachi! Tumhe hich-kichane ki zaroorat nahi. Owner mein hu. Tum kaho! Tumhara koi kuch nahi ukhaad sakta. Just say!

Prachi : O-Okay! Shayad Kaushik-

Veer : Hmm?

Prachi : Sonali di ko paana chaahta hai.

Veer : Kya Sonali ko Kaushik pasand hai?

Prachi : Shayad haan! Like woh daant lagati hai use. Seedhe muh baat nahi karti par mene unko uski baato par muskuraate dekha hai.

Prachi ki baat par Veer ko thodi hairani hui. Sonali kisi ladke ki baato par muskura rahi thi?

Use Suman ko kahi gayi apni hi baat yaad aa gayi~

'Agar woh kisi aur ko chaahegi, toh mein use jaane dunga!'

Veer ko yaad hai ki usne isi kaaran kabhi Sonali ko Suman aur Aabha ki tarah apna slave nahi maana tha. Kyuki, ho sakta tha ki Sonali use apne maalik ke roop me sweekaar na kare. Ho sakta tha ki use koi aur ladka pasand aa jaaye.

Shayad aaj woh din aa chuka tha. Veer ne ek gehri saans li.

Veer : Agar use pasand hai. Toh kya dikkat hai?

Veer ko kehte hue pata nahi kyu accha nahi lag raha tha lekin fir bhi usne keh diya. Prachi ne jab ye suna toh woh hairat me use ghoor ke dekhi.

Prachi : A-Aap ko parvaah nahi?

Veer : Hmm? Isme parvaah kaisi? Sonali ko agar koi pasand hai toh acchi baat hai na woh toh-!?

Prachi : Eh? I-I thought-!!

Bechari Prachi duwidha me fas ke reh gayi. Use laga tha ki Veer aur Sonali ke beech kuch chal raha tha isliye woh bhaagi bhaagi daud ke ye baat use bataane aayi thi. Par yaha toh aisa prateet ho raha tha jaise Veer aur Sonali ke beech kuch tha hi nahi.

Woh toh ye soch ke aayi thi ki woh unn dono ke pyaar ko bacha legi. Par-

Veer : Sonali samajhdar hai. In case kuch gadbad tumhe lagti hai toh mujhe call kar dena.

Prachi : Mene aapko abhi toh bataya. Woh ladka theek nahi hai.

Veer : Hmm! Mene sunn liya hai Prachi. Par tumhare paas abhi kuch proof bhi nahi hai. Isliye keh raha hu, kuch gadbad lage toh mujhe call kar dena. You have my number, right?

Prachi : H-Haan!

Veer : I'll leave then!

Prachi : B-But-!!

Veer uski baat sune bagerr hi food truck ki orr chal diya. Andar Sonali dishes banaane me lagi hui thi.

Toh wahi road ke uss paar ek aur food truck khada hua tha. Jisme Kaushik aur ek aur worker maujood the.

Kaushik Sonali ko dekh apne lund ko masalne me laga hua tha. Aur uska saath driving seat par baitha tha.

Worker : Dekh! Mein abhi bhi keh raha hu. Woh teri pohuch ke baahar ki ladki hai. Upar se owner ki koi rishtedar lagti hai mujhe toh. Tujhse nahi patne waali.

Kaushik : Abe, tu jaanta hi kya hai ladkiyo ke baare me. Dekhta jaa bas tu. Gaav ki chhori hai. Chaahta toh mein uss Prachi ko set kar sakta tha. Magar, woh yahi Mumbai ki hai. Uss saali ko mere upar kuch shaq sa hai.

Worker : Woh ladki samajhdar hai!

Kaushik : Lekin, ye Sonali gaav se hai. Ise sheher ka utna gyaan nahi. Ise set karna asaan hai. Saali ko chodne me kya maza aayega. Lita lita ke chodunga.

Worker : Mein abhi bhi keh raha hu. Uss se dur hi reh.

Kaushik : Kya jhandu aadmi hai bey tu? Kabhi choot maari hai?

Worker : Nahi!

Kaushik : Bas yahi toh dikkat hai tumhari. Abe jaise ek nashedi insaan bina nashe ke reh nahi sakta na? Wese hi ye lund hai. Ek baar ye choot ka swaad chakh le na toh bina choot maare nahi rehta.

Worker : Choot ke chakkar me lene ke dene bhi pad jaate hai. Aur isliye, mein apne kaam se hi matlab rakhta hu.

Kaushik : Haan toh tu wahi kar. Mere kaam me taang mat ada. Mere lund ko choot ki zaroorat hai. Agar ye set ho gayi, toh fir kehne hi kya. Naukri bhi karte raho, free ki choot bhi maarte jao. Hahahaha! Pagaar ki pagaar. Upar se food truck ke maalik ki sambandhi hai woh. Sab set hai.

Worker (sighs) : Tu jaane aur tera kaam jaane.

Kaushik apne saathi ki baato ko ek kaan se sunn dusre kaan se nikal diya. Tabhi, uski nazar Veer par padi jo Sonali ke food truck me jaa raha tha.

Kaushik : Iski maa ka- Jaldi, gaadi waha laga.

Worker : Kyu? Kya hua?

Kaushik : Abe yahi owner hai na?

Worker (squints) : H-Haan shayad-! Haan yahi hai. Veer Sir!

Kaushik : Haan toh gaadi laga waha. Turant!

Worker : Haan haan!

Kaushik ke saathi ne food truck chaalu kar aage badhaya aur U-turn lete hue woh road ke iss side par aa gaya jaha Sonali ka food truck maujood tha.

Jab tak ye log yaha aa rahe the tab tak Veer aur Sonali ke beech alag vartalaap chal raha tha.

Veer : Sab theek toh chal raha hai na?

Sonali : Hmm? Aaj tumhe itna parvaah kaise hone lagi? Aise toh kabhi jhaakne nahi aate.

Veer : Kya mein puch nahi sakta?

Sonali : Puch sakte ho! Bilkul puch sakte ho. Sab kuch tumhara hi toh hai. Jo chaahe karo! Bhala mein kaun hoti hu-?

Veer (sighs) : Mera matlab ye hai ki kahi koi gadbad toh nahi hai. Koi dikkat toh nahi hai na? Sab theek hai?

Sonali ne do pal ke liye use dekha fir muh fula ke mudte hue boli,

Sonali : Hmm! Sab theek hai!

Veer (nods) : Alright! Agar koi- Agar koi problem ho toh mujhse share kar sakti ho. Okay?

Sonali (confused) : Tumhari tabiyat toh theek hai na?

Veer : I-!! Leave it! Apna dhyaan rakhna. Aur, apne aas paas ke logo ka bhi.

Sonali : Huhh!? Kya matlab? Aaj subah subah kahi sarr bhidwa ke aaye ho kya? Kaisi behki behki baatein kar rahe ho?

Veer kuch keh paata ki itne me Kaushik apne saathi ke sang truck leke haazir tha.

Window se nikal ke hi woh haath hilaate hue chillaaya,

Kaushik : Arre! Haha! Sir! Aaj mile ho aap! Warna kabhi darshan hi nahi hue aap ke toh batao.

Uske aate hi,

'Check!'

Veer ne usko poori tarah se scan kar liya. Kahi koi gadbad nazar nahi aayi. Kaushik ek aam ladka hi tha. Thoda awara-gardi karne waala tha magar kaam uska theek tha. Koi chor, gunda, mawali nahi tha woh. Jab Veer ne ye dekha ki kahi kuch gadbad nahi hai. Toh usne ek raahat ki saans li.

Kya iska matlab Prachi bewajah hi chintit ho rahi thi?

Prachi, jo theek unke saath khadi hui thi woh Kaushik ko aata dekh ke hi tension me aa gayi.

Veer ne idhar Kaushik ke aate hi uski baat ka jawaab diya,

Veer : Ohh! Naye ho?

Kaushik : Ji Sir!

Veer : Kya naam?

Kaushik : Ji Kaushik!

Veer : Alright! Acche se kaam karna.

Kaushik : Aap fiqr mat karo Sir! Mein apna kaam poori lagan se karta hu. Lekin, aaj aap se ek permission lena chaahta hu. Umeed hai aap mana nahi karoge.

Veer : Kaisi permission?

Kaushik : Woh kya hai na, kuch dino pehle pradarshani lagi hai yahi paas me. Mujhe jaana tha zara.

Veer (nods) : Theek hai! Tum jaldi jaa sakte ho.

Kaushik : Na na na na! S-Sirf mein nahi!

Veer : Toh?

Kaushik : Ahem! Woh kya hai na! Ab akela mein kya karunga Sir waha. Saath me koi hona chahiye na? Sundar si pradarshani ko dekhne ke liye ek sundari bhi toh honi chahiye na saath me? Hai na?

Veer : Bilkul!

Veer ne keh toh diya magar uske chehre par koi bhaav nahi the. Woh Kaushik ko aise dekh raha tha jaise kisi namoone ko dekh raha ho.

[Oh my~ Look at this worthless ant! A toad wishing to eat swan meat.]

Pari ke muh se bhi Kaushik ke liye beizzati hi nikli. Do kaudi ka ladka uske Master se hi unki hi bandi ko ghumaane ki permission maang raha tha. What a joke!

Magar-

Sonali ne jab Kaushik ki baatein suni, toh woh hass padi.

'Hmm?'

[Oh! Lagta hai~ Tumne apna swaad ise nahi chakhaya. What a mistake you have made my baby~ Isliye kehti hu. Forget all this. Come to me! Surrender to me! Call me 'Mommy' and I will make you the most powerful man in this world.]

'Please stop!!!'

Veer Pari se baat karne ke mood me nahi tha abhi. Sonali ne Kaushik ki baat sunn Veer ko dekha jaise maano woh dekhna chaah rahi ho ki Veer kaise react karta hai.

Veer (sighs) : No! This is work time. Tum khud jaana chaahte ho, koi manahi nahi hai. Jaa sakte ho. Par, staff me se kisi aur ko apne sang le jaana? Ye mein allow nahi kar sakta. Shaam hone waali hai aur ab rush hours rahenge. So, it's a strict 'NO' from my side.

Veer ka jawaab sunte hi jaise Kaushik ke muh pe 12 baj gaye. Kintu, usne aisa dikhaya nahi. Farzi muskan liye woh hassa aur punah bola,

Kaushik : Hahahaha! Arre kya Sir? Subah se din tak itna toh kaam kiya hai humne. Aur mein jaanta hu, sundari ka bhi ghoomne ka mann hoga. Ahem! Mera matlab hai Sonali ji ka! *winks*

Kaushik Sonali ko hi sundari keh ke itni derr se sambodhit kar raha tha. Jiske chalte, Sonali bas nazre ferr muskuraaye jaa rahi thi. Ye ladka roz uske paas kisi na kisi bahane se aaya karta aur roz apni fizool baato se use entertain karta.

Par kahi na kahi, ab uski fizool baatein hi Sonali ko jaise pasand aane lagi thi. Galti uski nahi thi. Balki, galti kisi ki bhi nahi thi.

Gaav ki ek aam ladki hone ke kaaran, Sonali ke standards ladko ko lekar behad hi low the. Shuru se hi woh apne baap Pushpendra aur uske bete Amit jaiso ko dekhti aayi thi. Jo ek number ke nalle, jaahil, gawaar aur nashedi aadmi the.

Aisi biraadri me rehne ke baad, Sonali ko ladke me bas itna hi chahiye rehta tha ki koi use sukhi rakh sake. Uski qadr kare. Bas!! Yahi the uske standards aur uski maangein.

Veer jaisa ladka uski expectations se bhi kahi zyada tha. Upar se uski khud ki maa, aur bhabhi apni taangein fela ke apne aap ko Veer ke prati samarpit kar chuki thi. Kahi na kahi, Sonali ke antarmann me ye dhaarna thi ki Veer bhala use kyu chaahega?

Uske paas toh ladkiyo ki line lagi hui thi. Magar maajra toh kuch aur hi tha, jo bechari woh nahi jaanti thi. Kisi aur ladke ka aana aur Sonali se iss tarah rubaru hona. Ye Veer ko na jaane kyu magar zara bhi pasand nahi aa raha tha.

Kaushik ke aamantran par usne turant hi naahi jataayi,

Veer : Nahi! Sonali ko kaam hai aur woh kahi nahi jayegi.

Kaushik : Arre ye kya baat hui Sir? Thoda hamare baare me bhi sochiye!

Veer : Nahi! Mene kaha na ki Sonali nahi-

Kintu,

Sonali : Kyu nahi? Kab se mein bhi subah se lage lage thak gayi thi. Pradarshani mujhe bhi dekhni thi. Na jaane kab se nahi dekhi. Isi bahaane thodi kamar bhi seedhi ho jayegi.

Veer : S-Sonali? T-Tum!?

Sonali : Haan! Kya mein nahi thakti? Mujhe bhi ghoomne ka mann karta hai. Aur kaun sa roz roz chhutti leti hu?

Veer : Tum aise kaise-!? Mujhe abhi zaroori kaam se jaana hai. Prachi akele nahi sambhal payegi. Tum iss waqt-

Sonali : Haan haan! Mujhe pata hai! Koi kaam nahi hai tumhara! Ab T.V me aa rahe ho iska matlab ye nahi ki harr waqt vyast ho tum. Ab aaye ho toh sambhalo apna yeh truck. Jaise uss din sambhala tha!?

Kaushik : Arre waah! Hahahaha! Kya baat hai! Dekha na Sir? Sab ki hi iccha hai. Mein toh kehta hu aaj aap chhutti hi dedo. Aa jao sundari- Mera matlab hai Sonali ji! Aaiye chalte hai! Thoda ghoom ke aate hai.

Bechari Sonali ye nahi jaanti thi ki abhi abhi Bhumika ki hotel me musibat aayi hai. Woh iss baat se anjaan thi. Woh nahi jaanti thi ki Veer ko abhi jald hi nikalna tha. Woh toh yahi samjhi ki Veer koi bahana bana raha tha.

Woh Kaushik se bhi parichit thi. Ye pehli baar nahi tha jab woh uske waale truck me baith rahi thi. Jab use hire kiya tha tab bhi woh Kaushik ke sang baith ke use venues ke baare me batayi thi. Kaha food truck lagana hai, kaise kaam karna hai. Toh isme ghabrane waali koi baat hi nahi thi ki woh akeli jaa rahi hai.

Saath hi woh Veer ko tang karne me kaha peeche hatati thi? Ye nirnay lete hi woh mann hi mann thahaake laga rahi thi. Soch rahi thi ki Veer chidhega aur tu-tu main-main karega.

Yahi soch woh truck se nikli aur Kaushik ke truck me chali gayi. Prachi muh khole bas nazara dekhti rahi. Jis train ko woh sahi se chalane ki koshish kar rahi thi woh toh patri se hi utar gayi. Naiyaa dubti hui nazar aa rahi thi use. Woh Veer ko bas hamdardi liye dekhi.

Aur mann me hi sochne lagi,

'Kya kar diya ye aapne Sonali di? Aapne Veer Sir jaise ladke ko haath se jaane diya? Agar mein aapki jagah hoti, toh uss Kaushik chhapri ko ghaas tak nahi daalti. Ye kya kar diya aapne?'

Sonali idhar muskaan liye seat par baithi aur truck chaalu hoke waha se chalne laga.

Magar jaise hi uski nazre Veer par tiki toh woh ghabra uthi. Veer ke chehre par taajub bhare bhaav the.

Woh Sonali ko aise dekh raha tha jaise use pehli baar dekh raha ho. Jaise usne koi aisa kaam kar diya ho jiski Veer ko umeed hi nahi thi. Achanak hi, Sonali ke dil ki dhadkane bechaini ke chalte tezz ho uthi. Par, truck chal chuka tha.

Use ye abhaas hua ki taang kheechne ke chakkar me kahi na kahi shayad usne Veer ko thes pohucha di hai. Ye sab kya ho raha tha?

Veer ke chehre par woh bhaav usne aaj se pehle kabhi nahi dekhe the. Kya uss se koi bhul ho gayi? Kya woh zyada bol gayi?

Sonali : N-Nahi-!!! R-Ruko-!

Par tab tak bohut derr ho chuki thi. Food truck kaafi aage badh chuka tha. Aur Sonali, sheeshe se Veer ke chehre ko dekh paa rahi thi. Na jaane kyu par uske dil me ek ajeeb sa dard utha.

Ab jaise sab kuch galat lag raha tha. Ye pradarshani, ye thakaan, Veer ki taang kheechna, jaise ab sab bhul chuki thi woh. Ab jaise inka koi artha hi nahi reh gaya tha. Kyuki jise sataane ke liye usne ye kiya tha wahi use hataash hue naraazgi me dekh raha tha. Veer ki wahi akhiri chhavi uske mann me bas gayi aur ek vichitr sa dard chhodh gayi.

Truck yaha se Veer ki aankhon se ojhal ho gaya. Sonali ke andar wapas jaane ki himmat bhi nahi aayi aur na hi woh kuch samajh paayi ki ye kya hua abhi abhi. Veer ko uss tarah dekh, uske dil me itna dard kyu uth raha tha?

'Iss se pehle-! Iss se pehle mene use kabhi aise nahi dekha! K-Kahi mein kuch zyada toh nahi bol gayi na? Agar woh bura maan gaya toh-!!!'

Lekin, ab sochne se kya fayda jab chidiya chug gayi khet. Woh ye nahi jaanti thi ki aane waale pal uske liye kaise hone waale the. Uske peeche khada Kaushik apni ghatiya nazro se uske badan ko taadne me laga hua tha. Muh se laar tapakne ki deri thi bas.

'Aaj toh teri seal tod hi dunga Sonali darling!!!'

***

"Ye kya kiya aapne?"

Truck ke jaate hi Veer ke peeche se Prachi ki naraazgi bhari awaaz aayi.

Veer : Kya?

Lag raha tha jaise woh Veer se bhi kahi zyada nirash thi.

Prachi : Aapne unhe jaane diya?

Veer (turns back) : Mene unhe jaane diya?

Veer ke sawaal par Prachi maun reh gayi. Usne jaane nahi diya tha. Balki, woh sabhi khud hi chale gaye the.

Veer chaahta toh ek baar me yaha maujood ek ek ki hekdi nikaal deta. Use bas 'Intimidating Presence' equip karne ki zaroorat thi. Uska aura mehsoos kar ke hi unn sab ki bolti band ho jaati. Lekin, usne aisa na kiya.

Prachi bas saantvna liye use dekhti rahi. Veer ke dil pe kya guzar rahi thi jaise woh jaanti thi.

Woh hairaan tha. Use thes pohuchi thi. Taajub iss baat ka nahi tha ki Sonali Kaushik ke saath gayi. Taajub iss baat ka tha ki Sonali uski baat ka yakeen na kar ke Kaushik ki baat ka yakeen kar chali gayi.

Kitne mahine ho chuke the use aur Sonali ko ek chhat ke neeche rehte hue? Usne apni taraf se kya kami chhodhi thi Sonali ke liye? Dard bas yahi tha ki Sonali ne ek baar bhi uski baat pe vishvaas na kiya. Aur bina poori baat sune nikal gayi. Yahi kaaran tha jo uske chehre par aashcharya tha.

Prachi : A-Ab?

Veer : You stay here! Mujhe kuch kaam hai! Mein aata hu baad me.

Prachi : O-Okay!

Woh aage kuch na keh paayi. Veer turant hi uske hawaale food truck chhodh seedha Hotel Prestige yaani ki Bhumika aur Shweta ki hotel ki orr nikal gaya.

***

Hotel Prestige
Evening ~ 6:08 PM

"Ye sab kya laga rakha hai, haan?"

"Aur nahi toh kya? Hum sab kya bewakoof hai?"

"Arre jab nahi ho paa raha hai toh lena hi nahi chahiye na order. Kaisa management hai aapka?"

"Paisa bhar dikhta hai inhe Bhai sahab. Baaki grahak ki qadr thodi hi hai."

"Sahi kaha!"

"Mein khud aadhe ghante se wait kar raha hu. Family saath me hai. Order le liya hai magar abhi tak table par paani ka jug tak nahi aaya hai. Ab batao!"

"Ye koi dhang thode hi hai. Bhai nahi ho raha aapse toh bata do. Band kar do. Hai na? Aadmi apni dusri jagah jaaye. Usko pehle hi bata do."

"Bilkul! Bilkul!"

"Haan! Samay ki barbadi hai aise me toh-"

"Mein bhi family saath aaya hu. Ab mera order pehle de diya. Aur abhi tak baccho ka order nahi aaya. Ye kya baat hui? Matlab mein unke saamne akele akele khau ab? Aap batao bhai. Family time ka matlab kya hota hai? Aadmi hotel kyu jaata hai?"

"Bilkul! Bilkul! Parivar ke saath khaane ke liye hi toh aata hai. Par ye baat ye kaha samajhte hai-"

"Sahi kaha ji. Darasal, ye aaj kal harr hotel ka bann gaya hai. Jab jab holiday waale din rehte hai ye uss din jaan boojh ke itna rush ghuswa lete hai laalach ke chakkar me. Baad me inse manage hota nahi hai."

Kayi saare log reception area me khade ek dusre se baatein karne me lage hue the aur counter ke uss side khadi Nandini jo ki hotel ki manager thi bas ghabra ke sab kuch dekh rahi thi.

Nandini : Sir! Please! Shaanti banaye rakhiye. Dekhiye! Thodi si problem ho gayi hai. Baat samajhne ki koshish kariye. Aisa kabhi hota nahi hai. Par aaj thodi si dikkat ho gayi hai.

"Arre kya dikkat ho gayi hai?"

"Haan haan! Jab nahi ho paa raha toh pehle batana chahiye."

"Shaam ke samay me ye haal hai, socho raat me kya hoga jab dinner ke liye aur families aayengi."

"Band kar do hotel."

Nandini : P-Please Sir! Try to understand.

Nandini ne kabhi bhi iss tarah ki situation se deal nahi kiya tha. Kyuki aisi naubat kabhi aayi hi nahi thi. Par aaj na jaane kiski nazar lag gayi thi unki hotel ko.

Nandini ne apne sehyogi logo ko dekha aur public ko shaant rakhne ke liye keh ke woh fauran hi andar kitchen ki orr bhaagi.

Andar aate hi woh zorr se boli,

Nandini : Ma'am!! Ma'am baahar situation ab out of control jaa rahi hai. Manage karna ab mushqil ho raha hai. Logo ka gussa badhta jaa raha hai.

Andar Bhumika chintit nazro se use dekhi. Kitchen me saamne saare chefs aur workers apna kaam dhaam chhodh ke ek jhund bana ke khade hue the.

Unn sab ke beech me hotel ka Head Chef apni guroor bhari muskaan liye khada tha. Head Chef woh hota tha jo kitchen me saare chefs ka head hota tha. Wahi baaki chefs ko nirdesh deta tha aur hotel acchi tarah se chal sake, isme uska bohut bada yogdaan hota tha.

Magar, Hotel Prestige ke Head Chef, Narang aaj kisi aur mood me hi tha. Kareeb 40-45 ki umr ka ye aadmi apne saath saath baakiyo ko bhi apne shadiyantra me shaamil kiye baitha tha.

Narang : Mein kahe deta hu! Hamari maange poori karo warna hum sab abhi ke abhi apni naukri chhodh denge.

Bhumika bechain ho uthi. Iske pehle bhi woh do baar uss Narang ki payment badha chuki thi. Iss se zyada woh afford nahi kar sakti thi. Balki, shayad hi koi itni payment deta hoga.

Bhumika : Aapki payment mein pehle hi do baar badha chuki hu. Ye theek nahi hai. Kahi aur jaa ke dekhiye. Koi bhi aapko-

Narang : Hmph! Toh theek hai. Chale jaata hu. Yaha se acchi pagaar milne ka offer wese hi aa chuka hai mujhe.

Bhumika : Huh!??

Narang : Chalo Bhai log!!

Narang ke saath kaafi log the. Magar saare nahi. Kuch the jo abhi bhi apni pagaar se khush the aur hotel ke hit ke liye hi kaam karna chaahte the. Hotel se unka lagaav tha. Par ye log chand hi the.

Bhumika ne jab dekha ki woh log jaa sakte hai toh woh darr gayi. Woh inhe jaane nahi de sakti thi. Agar aisa hua, toh hotel ke profit ke upar bohut bada antar aa sakta tha. Nuksaan hi nuksaan ho sakta tha.

Naye chefs ko dhundhna, unhe laana, fir wapas se kaam samjhana, ye sab na jaane kitna samay le sakta tha. Uske baad taste ka change hona. Harr chef apne dhang se khaana banata hai. Jo yaha pehle se bana rahe hai, unke jaisa agla aadmi nahi bana sakta.

Prestige ki yahi toh pehchaan thi. Uska taste!! Agar chefs badal jayenge, toh woh pehle jaisa taste kaise maintain kar payenge? Signature dishes ka kya hoga jo sirf head chef hi banaaya karta hai?

Inn vichaaro ne Bhumika ko ek chakravyuh me fasa diya. Agar Shweta yaha hoti toh woh ab tak chidh ke Narang ko bhaga chuki hoti. Usme itna tolerance nahi. Magar, Bhumika ke andar tolerance level kahi zyada tha.

Bhumika (frowns) : Ye aap theek nahi kar rahe. Baahar log apne khaane ka wait kar rahe hai. Ye saari baatein aap baad me bhi toh kar sakte the na? Abhi karne ki kya zaroorat thi?

Narang : Iska faisla abhi hi hoga. Baad me taalne wala kaam mera nahi. Kyu bhai log?

"Haan haan!! Faisla abhi hoga."

Bhumika : A-Aap sab-!!! Kya zara bhi pyaar nahi aapko iss hotel se? Itne saalo tak aap sab ne kaam kiya hai. Kya kabhi aapko kisi cheez ki taqleef hone di hai mene ya Mom ne?

Uski iss baat par kuch chefs apna sarr jhuka ke khade ho gaye. Baat satya thi. Aaj tak unhe kabhi bhi kisi bhi cheez ki taqleef nahi hui thi. Pagaar hamesha samay par mil jaaya karti thi. Tyohaaro me unhe bonus bhi milta tha. Kahi se bhi koi taqleef nahi thi.

Fir woh sab kyu apni itni shaleen maalkin ke khilaaf khade ho uthe? Jawaab tha ~ Narang!

Jisne bhadka ke unhe apne side kar liya tha. Thode se behkaave me aane ke baad woh ye tak bhul gaye ki isi hotel se unka ghar chalta tha. Aaj woh usi ko laat maar rahe the. Kahi na kahi unn sab ke andar ek glaani ki bhaavna zaroor jaagi. Magar ab woh itna aage badh chuke the. Ab peeche nahi hatt sakte the.

Narang : Hume bas saaf saaf jawab de do!

Bhumika duwidha me fas gayi. Kya kare woh?

Saath khadi Arohi bhi clueless thi. Kya karti woh bechari.

Arohi : Kaash Veer yaha hota-!!!

Uske muh se ye nikla hi tha ki-

"What's happening here???"

Ek jaani pehchaani awaaz uske kaano me padi.

'Huh???'

Bhumika aur Arohi dono ne mud ke dekha toh paaya ki Veer unke saamne khada hua tha. Woh abhi abhi kitchen me aaya tha. Baahar ke staff ne use andar jaane ke liye kaha tha.

Arohi : Veeeeeer!!!

Woh aage badh unke nazdeek aaya aur Bhumika ne use sab kuch samjha diya. Pehle toh Veer hassa aur uske baad usne Narang ko dekha,

Veer : Toh tumhe jawaab chahiye? Hmm?

Narang ne upar se neeche tak Veer ko dekha. Iss ladke ko usne pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha. Jis tarah se Bhumika aur Arohi uske saath pesh aa rahi thi, Narang ne ek anumaan laga liya ki ye ladka unka koi rishtedar hi tha. Apna guroor wapas se chehre par jhalkaate hue woh bola,

Narang : Hmph! Tum jawaab doge? Kherr! Jo bhi de, mujhe farq nahi padta. Bas, haan ya naa me bata do. Payment hamari badha rahe ho ya nahi?

Veer (smiles) : Theek hai! Toh mein deta hu tumhe jawaab!

Narang : Hmm!

Veer : GET LOST!

Narang : Huh???

Bhumika : Ahhh??? V-Veeer???

Narang ko jaise apne kaano par yakeen nahi hua. Bhumika ka bhi yahi haal tha. Woh iss waqt kaise bhi kar ke unhe rokna chaahti thi. Baahar sabhi khaane ka wait kar rahe the. Aise me ye kaisa nirnay tha ki Narang ko bhaga diya jaaye?

Narang : K-Kya kaha tumne?

Veer : Mene kaha, dafa ho jao!

Narang : Haah! Haha! Hahahahahaha!

Bhumika : Veer! Tum-!?

Narang : Mujhe toh laga tha thodi bohut aqal se kaam loge. Par- Hahahahaha!!!

Veer (smiles) : Aqal se hi kaam liya hai. Aur ye aqal pehle hi dikha deni chaahiye thi.

Narang : *frowns*

Veer : How much you pay him monthly?

Bhumika : Th-That's-!!! 60,000!!!

Veer (baffled) : 60 hazaar rupaye?? Aur pehle kitna pay karti thi?

Bhumika : 45,000!

Veer : 15,000 rupaye ka izaafa!! Mujhe nahi lagta ki aas paas ke kisi bhi hotel me kisi Head Chef ki itni payment hogi.

Narang : Ladke!! Tujhe pata hi kya hai? Hmph!!! Baahar jaake dekh zara. Casa Belle waale toh mujhe khushi khushi le lenge.

Bhumika : N-Nahi!!!

Bhumika ka darr jayaz tha.

Casa Belle!!!




Haal hi me khuli ek nayi hotel jo unke hotel ke paas hi thi. Ek 5 star hotel. Bhumika ka sapna tha ki woh apni iss hotel ko 5 star hotel me tabdeel kare. Duniya ki ekdum premium hotels me uski hotel ka naam jaana jaaye. Aur isi sapne ke liye woh jee tod mehnat kiya karti thi.

Lekin, Casa Belle ke aane ke baad se hi hotel ke liye mushqile badh rahi thi. Zyada crowd abhi bhi Prestige ke paas hi tha. Magar, kya hoga agar Narang jaise chefs uske paas se chale jaaye aur jaa ke Casa Belle me kaam karne lage?

Hotel toh band hone ki kagaar pe aa jayega.

Veer bas muskuraya. Aur woh khushi khushi bola,

Veer : Darwaze khule hai! Jaa sakte ho!

Narang : T-Tum-!!!

Bhumika : Veer! Nahi! Hum aisa nahi kar sakte. Jald se jald inn sab ko rokna hoga. Baahar shor badhta jaa raha hai. Th-Theek hai mein payment badhaane ke liye-

Veer : Hargiz nahi! Ek rupaya bhi badhaya nahi jayega. Payment aapke kaam ke hisaab se ekdum sahi hai. Balki, zyada hi hai. 50,000 is a very good amount for a head chef. Not to mention ki tum kisi 5 star hotel ke chef nahi ho. Aur na hi abhi hamari hotel ek fully 5 star hotel me tabdeel hui hai.

Narang : Toh theek hai-!!! Bhaad me jao tum! Madam ji! Ab sambhal lena aap. Baad me mere paas gidgidate hue mat aana.

Bhumika : V-Veeeeer!!! Ye kya kiya tumne? P-Please! Hum unhe jaane nahi de sakte.

Narang : Hmph! Chalo Bhai log!

Usne kaha, magar pehle ke muqaable ab sirf aadhe hi log Narang ke saath aaye. Baaki aadhe peeche hoke khade ho gaye. Veer ki baato ne jaise unhe abhaas dilaya tha ki unhe jo mil raha tha woh pehle se kahi zyada tha.

Narang : Hmm? Tum sab!!! Yahi rehne ka irada hai kya? Bhulo nahi ki aise mauke baar baar nahi aate. Pagaar badhaane ka iss se accha mauka nahi milega. Ye ghatiya hotel chhodho aur chalo mere saath. Mein tum sab ko 20% zyada pagaar dilwaunga pehle ke muqaable.

Chef 1 : 20% zyada?

Narang : Haan! Chalo ab! Narang ki zubaan hai.

Chef 1 : L-Lekin-!! Nahi! Nahi hum yahi theek hai.

Narang : Tum!!! Mene kaha chalo mere saath.

Uska haath jabran thaam Narang ne jab use ghaseetna chaaha toh ek mazboot haath ne uski kalaayi ko jakad liya.

Veer : Woh kahi nahi jayega!

Narang : Ladke-!!! Haath chhodh!! Woh toh madam ke yaha itne saal kaam kiya hai isliye haath nahi uthaya tujh par. Tu hota kaun hai mujhe rokne waala? Madam ke naate mein kuch kar nahi raha warna-

Veer : Warna!? Shukr manao ki unhi madam ke chalte tum ab tak sahi salamat ho. Itne saal kaam kiya hai isliye zyada kuch kiya nahi mene warna-

Narang : Hoshiyar samajhta hai apne aap ko? Saale teri toh-

*Swish*

Wahi par rakha ek bada sa chamcha utha ke Narang ne Veer ke sarr pe chalaya par woh late tha. Ya yu kahe ki Veer uss se hazaro guna tezz tha.

Agle hi shan Narang ke haath se woh chamcha gaayab hua,

LIMBO!!!

*Crack*

*Swoosh*

Narang ko uske peeche se shirt pakad ke Veer ne uska sarr turant hi-

*Plop*

Paani se bhare ganj me de maara.

*Blurgh!!* *Gulp* *glrggh*

Bhumika : Nooooo!!! You both-!!!! Stop it Please!!!

Paani se uske chehre ko nikaal Veer use darwaze ki orr laaya aur-

*BAMMMMMM*

Darwaza zorr se khula aur ek udta hua insaan kuch feet dur jaa ke gira.

Baahar baithi tamaam janta ekdum se shaant ho gayi. Jo shikaayte woh pehle kar rahe the. Maar dhaad dekh sabke sab ekdum se dubak ke baith gaye.

Narang : L-Ladkeeee-!!! Madar-

*Bammmmmmm*

"Ugggghhh!!!"

Veer ne use pakda aur use aise le gaya jaise maano woh kooda fekne jaa raha tha.

Veer : Security!!!

Guard 1 : H-Haan!

Veer : Aaj se ye chef nahi hai. Hamari hotel me kaam toh kya, shaqal bhi nahi dikhni chahiye iski.

[What a strong performance. That's what I like about you~ A strong boy... needs a strong 'Mommy'! Doesn't he?]

'Shut up!'

[Fufufu~ Sooner or later! You'll be mine! ♡]

Narang ke saath jitne bhi the, woh Veer ko ladta dekh ke hi sehem gaye.

Veer : Aur tum sab!? Jaana nahi hai?

"N-Nahi Sir! H-Hum kaam karne taiyaar hai. Hum-"

Veer : Out!!!

"???"

Veer : Iss se pehle ki yahi haal tum sab ka hoye. Mere bina kahe hi nikal jao!

Na chaahte hue bhi unn sabhi ko waha se nikalna pada. Unhone apne hi perr par kulhadi maar li thi. Acchi bhali naukri haath se gawa di.

Ab woh sab Narang ke hi bharose the. Idhar Bhumika ki jaan jaise halak me aa gayi. Veer ne sabke saamne hi Head Chef ko nikaal diya? Ab kya hoga?

Bhumika : Khatam! Sab khatam! Veer! Kyu kiya aisa??? Ab k-kaise-!?

Arohi : Trust him!

Bhumika : Huh?

Arohi : He must have thought of something.

Bhumika : Wh-What?

Narang aur uski toli ko bhagaane ke baad Veer apne customers ke saamne aaya aur usne apni baat rakhi,

Veer : Jo kuch bhi hua. Uss sab ke liye mein aapse maafi maangta hu. Darasal, hamare Head Chef ki zyaadti badh gayi thi. Aur unhe ayeena dikhana zaroori tha. Mujhe aap sab 10 minute dijiye. 10 minute ke andar andar orders lagne shuru ho jayenge. Mein waada karta hu, aisa swaad aapne kahi nahi chakha hoga.

Uske bolte hi aapsi me logo ki khusur pusur chaalu ho gayi.

"Theek hai lao Bhai! Ab itna late toh ho hi gaya hai."

"H-Haan! 10 minute dekh sakte hai."

Manzoori milne ke baad Veer muskuraate hue kitchen me gaya. Peeche peeche Bhumika aur Arohi bhi thi. Nandini wahi baahar reh ke logo ko sambhaale rahi.

Aur idhar andar aate hi,

*Ding*

[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]

Veer : Tum sab!!! Apna apna naam batao! Jaldi!

Bache hue chefs se jaise hi Veer ne buland awaaz me pucha sab uske aage sehem gaye. Andar se hi ek respect waali bhaavna na jaane kyu jaagrit hone lagi.

Apna apna naam unn sabhi ne bataya. Bhumika ko chinta khaaye jaa rahi thi.

Bhumika : Veer ab kya hoga? Hum kaise manage karenge? Ye nahi hona chahiye tha.

Veer : Bhumika dii!

Bhumika : ???

Veer (smiles) : Woh Narang pehle se hi naukri chhodhne ke chakkar me tha.

Bhumika : Wh-What??

Veer : Kya aapne gaur nahi kiya? Kyu woh baar baar Casa Belle hotel ka zikr kar raha tha?

Bhumika : Woh-

Veer (smiles) : Casa Belle waale logo ne pehle se hi use ghoos de di hai shayad. Narang toh bas bahana dhoondh raha tha yaha se nikalne ka.

Bhumika : Ahh!!?

Veer : Isliye woh aisi betuki farmayish rakh raha tha. Use laga tha ki aap use naukri se nikaal dogi. Aur uska kaam bann jayega.

Bhumika : Y-Ye!?

Veer (smiles) : But you were persistent. Aap use jaane nahi de rahi thi. Uske liye aur mushqil ho raha tha. And that's why he opted for violence.

Bhumika : Ahhhnn! Y-Ye baat thi!?

Veer : I fulfilled his wish. Ab shayad hi woh kabhi accha khaana bana paaye. *smiles*

Bhumika : Hmm?

Veer (smiles) : Looks like we've got a new competition in the market. Anyways! Aap sab kuch mujh par chhodh dijiye.

Bhumika : B-But how-!?

Veer (screams) : CHEFS!!!!

"Y-Yesss sirrr!!!"

Veer ne apni shirt utaar apni kamar par baandhi. Haath dhoye aur woh taiyaar tha.

Veer : Get ready!!! Bhumika dii! Arohi dii! Order numbers dijiye. Pehle woh bataiye jaha orders adhura pohucha hai. Uske baad woh orders jaha bohut derr se khaana nahi pohucha. And lastly newest ones.

Bhumika : G-Got it!!

Arohi : Veer! Table number 7!!! Umm! 1 Dal fry, 1 Veg pulav, and 1 butter paneer masala!!

Veer : Got it!!!

Uske haath itni raftaar se chal rahe the ki baaki chefs apni aankhein faade dekhte reh gaye. Kahi koi choonk nahi, sab kuch perfection se ho raha tha.

Bhumika ne jab uski speed dekhi toh uska muh khula ka khula reh gaya. Speed hona koi bohut badi baat nahi thi.

Par full accuracy ke saath speed hona, ye bilkul naamumkin jaisa tha. Kahi koi cheez gir nahi rahi thi. Tel ki maatra, pan ko saute karne ka dhang, ingredients ki maatra sab kuch jaise ekdum perfectly daala jaa raha tha.

Veer : Vijayyy!!!

Vijay : Y-Yes Chef!?

Veer : Tomato soup!!! Table number 9 ke liye. Abhi!!!

Vijay : Y-Yes Chef!!!

Veer : Toasted bread piece daalna mat bhulna!!

Vijay : Y-Yes!!

Veer : Coriander ki garnishing!!!

Vijay (shouts) : Yessssss Chef!!!

Veer : Rohitttt!!!!

Rohit : H-Haan??

Veer : Same table!!! Dry Manchurian!!

Rohit : Y-Yess Chef!!!

*Clang* *Schling*

Bartano ki khat-pat awaazo ke saath aur chaaku chhuriya ki dhaar ke sang Veer ne kitchen me ek alag hi aura bhar diya.

Baaki chefs Veer ki skills dekh, uss se order lete hue itne motivate ho gaye ki woh harsho-ullas ke saath khaana banaane me jutt gaye. Asli swaad tabhi aata hai jab ek chef dil se khushi khushi uss khaane ko banaaye. Aaj wahi ho raha tha.

Bhumika ne aisa drishya pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha. Veer ko kaam karta dekh, uski dhadkane tezz ho uthi. Sach kehte hai. Ek mard sabse zyada attractive tab hi lagta hai jab woh apne kaam me leen ho.

Woh yaha uss Narang ki payment badhaane ke chakkar me thi. Aur yaha Veer ne ek jhalak me uske shadiyantra ko pakad liya tha.

Bhumika : I have so much yet to learn...! M-Mein use samajh nahi saki theek se.

Arohi (smiles) : That's okay! As long as you keep faith in him!

Bhumika (smiles) : I see now! Thank you! Arohi!

Arohi (smiles) : Mmm~

Baahar jaise jaise dishes aati gayi, logo ke mann se woh doubt khatam ho gaya. Jaise jaise unhone khaane ka swaad chakha sab ke sab chakit reh gaye. Baat sahi thi. Aaj tak unn sabhi ne iss tarah ka swaad nahi chakha tha. Dishes toh same hi thi. Lekin, ek naya zaayka tha usme. Kuch extra tha. Jo woh bata nahi paa rahe the.

Akhir kaar ye silsila khatam hua. Raat ke 10:30 baj rahe the. Rush samaapt ho chuka tha. Veer ne aaj se pehle kabhi itna khaana nahi banaaya tha.

Garmi ke chalte woh poora paseene se lath-path tha. Hotel ke baahar closed ka sign lag chuka tha.

Dining area me hi woh ek kursi par AC ke neeche baith gaya.

Uske bagal se Arohi thi toh wahi dusri orr Bhumika.

Arohi ne ek towel lete hue uska paseena pochha.

Veer (smiles) : Thank you!

Arohi : Thank you!

Veer : Hmm?

Arohi : For working this hard!

Bhumika ne achanak se uski baah ko apne haatho ke ird gird liya.

Veer : ???

Bhumika : Veer! Aaj sab ne khaane ki itni zyaada tareef ki hai ki mein tumhe bata nahi sakti. Aisa pehle kabhi nahi hua.

Veer : Haha!

Bhumika : No doubt woh Narang accha khana banaata tha. Lekin, kabhi bhi public aise react nahi karti thi. Jo kuch bhi tamasha aaj hua, uss se public darr bhi gayi thi. Isliye mene unhe Sunday ka special offer ka coupon bhi diya hai. Umeed hai ye swaad chakhne ke baad woh zaroor ayenge.

Veer : Of course!

Bhumika (frowns) : L-Lekin-! Ye toh sirf aaj ke liye tha. Aaj tumne madad kar di. Aage kya hoga?

Veer : Don't worry! Aapke liye mene naya head chef bhi dhoondh liya hai.

Bhumika : Kya??? Kaun hai woh?

Veer (smiles) : You'll know soon!

Woh aankhein band thodi derr khud ko durust karne laga jab,

*Puch*

'Huh?'

Do narm honth uske gaal par lag gaye. Bhumika ne sharmaate hue uske gaal ko chooma.

Bhumika (blushes) : Th-Thank you so much!!!

Veer : Ahem! D-Don't mention it!

***

Yaha toh sab nipat chuka tha. Magar inn beete ghante Sonali kaha thi?

Food truck se nikalne ke baad woh Kaushik ke sang pradarshani dekhne gayi thi. Khayaal toh use Veer ka hi aa raha tha.

Kintu, Kaushik ki lagataar baato ko sunn aur pradarshani me mauj masti kar uska dhyaan Veer par se thoda hatt gaya.

Derr raat ho rahi thi. Usne aaj khoob enjoy kiya tha. Ab lautne ka samay tha.

Kaushik ka dost bhi jaa chuka tha. Ab woh khud hi gaadi chala raha tha.

Kaushik : Kya iss nacheez ke saath sundari jii ko thoda bohut bhi accha laga?

Sonali : Hahaha! Tumhari baatein betuki hai. Aur mujh par line maarna band kar do.

Kaushik : Uui maa! Pakda gaya kya mein?

Sonali : Kab ke!!! Chalo! Aur mujhe jaldi se wapas se truck par chhodh do. Prachi ab aur late nahi ruk payegi.

Kaushik : Bilkul! Bilkul!

Sonali ko raaste pata nahi the. Magar kuch na kuch mod yaad zaroor the.

Jab Kaushik ne truck dusri disha me moda toh uski bauhe kass uthi.

Sonali : Arre? Y-Ye raasta nahi hai. Woh waala mod tha.

Kaushik : Jaane dijiye na! Aaj yaha se chalte hai. Kaafi saari khubsoorat jagaahe hai yaha pe. Aapko dikhata hu.

Sonali : N-Nahi! Raat bohut ho gayi hai. Aur mujhe ab jaana hai.

Kaushik : Maaniye toh baat-!!

Sonali : Mene kaha na-!!! Ye-! Ye kya kar rahe ho tum??

Kaushik : Nahi!! A-Aaj aapko meri baat maanami padegi.

Woh uski orr mudte hue bola. Uski muskaan me iss baar hawas ke iraade jhalak rahe the.

Sonali : !!???

Mega Update

Update - 154 ~ The Prestige's Ordeal​

Ab tak...

Kintu, samasya kabhi na aaye aisa kaise ho sakta tha. Jaha abhi sab kuch accha chal raha tha ki itne me hi Bhumika ko ek call aaya. Usne call receive kar jab baat suni toh uski aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Phone cut karte hi woh Veer ko dekhi,

Bhumika : Veer!! Ek problem ho gayi hai.

Magar woh akeli nahi thi. Truck se Prachi daudte hue aayi aur jaldbazi me boli,

Prachi : Ek nahi-! Do problem hai!!

Veer : Huh!!???

Ab aage...

Kehte hai ki bhagwan jab deta hai toh chhappar faad ke deta hai. Magar, kayi baar aisa bhi hota hai ki ek musibat ki jagah kaho anek musibatein saath me hi aa jaaye.

Veer iss samay isi duwidha me tha. Ek taraf woh Bhumika ko dekh raha tha jo chinta me uske saamne khadi thi toh wahi dusri taraf Prachi ko jo food truck se nikal ke jaldbaazi me aayi thi.

Samasyao ne darwaza khat-khata diya tha. Akhir, chal kya raha tha yaha? Veer ne pehle Bhumika se hi puchna sahi samjha.

Veer : Pehle aap bataiye! Kya hua hai?

Bhumika (frowns) : Veer! Ek bohut badi problem ho gayi hai.

Veer : Hotel me kuch-!?

Bhumika (nods) : Haan!

Veer : Kya dikkat hai?

Bhumika : Woh- Woh Head Chef-!!!

Veer : Head Chef?

Bhumika : Hmm! He's very troublesome to deal with. Pehle bhi woh kayi baar aisa kar chuka hai.

Veer : Kya kiya hai usne?

Bhumika : Baaki chefs ko bhadkana. Pay increase karne ke liye. Mein pehle hi 2 baar payment badha chuki hu. Magar-!! Oh no! Firse call aa raha hai. Veer! Mujhe jaana hoga!

Veer (nods) : Ek kaam kariye. Aap pohuchiye, mein aapke peeche peeche aata hu.

Bhumika : Alright!

Bhumika jaldbaazi me daudte hue waha se apni car ki orr nikli. Par, aisi sthiti me uska akela jaana theek nahi tha. Isliye,

Veer : Arohi dii?

Arohi (nods) : Mmm~ I got it!

Woh toh jaise bina kuch kahe hi samajh gayi. Bina Veer ko jawaab diye woh waha se tezz qadmo ke saath Bhumika ke peeche peeche chal di. Aur idhar Veer ke hontho par ek halki si muskaan saj gayi. Woh fir Prachi ki orr muda,

Veer : Ab tum batao! Kya hua hai?

Prachi : W-Woh-!

Veer : Ghabrane ki zaroorat nahi. Khul ke batao!

Prachi : Okay! Actually, baat ye hai ki- Ab aap toh jaante ho ki aapke kitne food trucks hai. Magar, aap harr ek ko daily dekhne nahi aa sakte. Right?

Veer : Mmm-hmm!

Prachi : Toh aaye din workers badalte rehte hai. Koi jaata hai toh koi naya aa jaata hai.

Veer : So?

Prachi : So, hua ye hai ki- Sir! Kaushik naam ka ek ladka hai.

Veer : Kaushik?

Prachi (nods) : Hmm! Woh morning waala breakfast ka jo ek aur food truck hai usme rehta hai. Uske saath ek aur ladka hai. Uske saath wala ladka accha hai lekin ye Kaushik-

Veer : Kuch kiya hai kya?

Prachi : N-Nahi!

Veer : Toh?

Prachi : Ab ho sakta hai mein zyada soch rahi hu. P-Par Sonali di jo hai-

Veer : Sonali ka kya?

Prachi : Sir, woh Kaushik aaj kal har roz shaam ko yaha aata hai aur fir Sonali di se meethi meethi baatein karta hai.

Veer : Hmm?

Prachi : Aur Sonali di use bas daant deti hai magar- Mujhe lagta hai jaise Kaushik ki baatein unhe pasand bhi aati hai.

Veer : I see! So, what's the problem?

Prachi : Problem ye hai ki- Mujhe lagta hai ki woh Kaushik kuch theek nahi hai.

Veer : Aisa kyu bhala? Agar woh theek nahi tha toh use hire kisne kiya?

Prachi : Sonali di ne hi. Uske kaam me koi dikkat nahi hai Sir.

Veer : Fir kya dikkat hai? Behaviour?

Prachi : Haan! Ho sakta hai mein kuch zyada overthink kar rahi hu. Mujhe jo laga woh mene aapko bata diya. Mujhe woh ladka theek nahi lagta.

Veer : Theek nahi lagta as in? Kya kuch gadbad kar raha hai? Ya kar sakta hai?

Prachi : Actually-

Veer : Prachi! Tumhe hich-kichane ki zaroorat nahi. Owner mein hu. Tum kaho! Tumhara koi kuch nahi ukhaad sakta. Just say!

Prachi : O-Okay! Shayad Kaushik-

Veer : Hmm?

Prachi : Sonali di ko paana chaahta hai.

Veer : Kya Sonali ko Kaushik pasand hai?

Prachi : Shayad haan! Like woh daant lagati hai use. Seedhe muh baat nahi karti par mene unko uski baato par muskuraate dekha hai.

Prachi ki baat par Veer ko thodi hairani hui. Sonali kisi ladke ki baato par muskura rahi thi?

Use Suman ko kahi gayi apni hi baat yaad aa gayi~

'Agar woh kisi aur ko chaahegi, toh mein use jaane dunga!'

Veer ko yaad hai ki usne isi kaaran kabhi Sonali ko Suman aur Aabha ki tarah apna slave nahi maana tha. Kyuki, ho sakta tha ki Sonali use apne maalik ke roop me sweekaar na kare. Ho sakta tha ki use koi aur ladka pasand aa jaaye.

Shayad aaj woh din aa chuka tha. Veer ne ek gehri saans li.

Veer : Agar use pasand hai. Toh kya dikkat hai?

Veer ko kehte hue pata nahi kyu accha nahi lag raha tha lekin fir bhi usne keh diya. Prachi ne jab ye suna toh woh hairat me use ghoor ke dekhi.

Prachi : A-Aap ko parvaah nahi?

Veer : Hmm? Isme parvaah kaisi? Sonali ko agar koi pasand hai toh acchi baat hai na woh toh-!?

Prachi : Eh? I-I thought-!!

Bechari Prachi duwidha me fas ke reh gayi. Use laga tha ki Veer aur Sonali ke beech kuch chal raha tha isliye woh bhaagi bhaagi daud ke ye baat use bataane aayi thi. Par yaha toh aisa prateet ho raha tha jaise Veer aur Sonali ke beech kuch tha hi nahi.

Woh toh ye soch ke aayi thi ki woh unn dono ke pyaar ko bacha legi. Par-

Veer : Sonali samajhdar hai. In case kuch gadbad tumhe lagti hai toh mujhe call kar dena.

Prachi : Mene aapko abhi toh bataya. Woh ladka theek nahi hai.

Veer : Hmm! Mene sunn liya hai Prachi. Par tumhare paas abhi kuch proof bhi nahi hai. Isliye keh raha hu, kuch gadbad lage toh mujhe call kar dena. You have my number, right?

Prachi : H-Haan!

Veer : I'll leave then!

Prachi : B-But-!!

Veer uski baat sune bagerr hi food truck ki orr chal diya. Andar Sonali dishes banaane me lagi hui thi.

Toh wahi road ke uss paar ek aur food truck khada hua tha. Jisme Kaushik aur ek aur worker maujood the.

Kaushik Sonali ko dekh apne lund ko masalne me laga hua tha. Aur uska saath driving seat par baitha tha.

Worker : Dekh! Mein abhi bhi keh raha hu. Woh teri pohuch ke baahar ki ladki hai. Upar se owner ki koi rishtedar lagti hai mujhe toh. Tujhse nahi patne waali.

Kaushik : Abe, tu jaanta hi kya hai ladkiyo ke baare me. Dekhta jaa bas tu. Gaav ki chhori hai. Chaahta toh mein uss Prachi ko set kar sakta tha. Magar, woh yahi Mumbai ki hai. Uss saali ko mere upar kuch shaq sa hai.

Worker : Woh ladki samajhdar hai!

Kaushik : Lekin, ye Sonali gaav se hai. Ise sheher ka utna gyaan nahi. Ise set karna asaan hai. Saali ko chodne me kya maza aayega. Lita lita ke chodunga.

Worker : Mein abhi bhi keh raha hu. Uss se dur hi reh.

Kaushik : Kya jhandu aadmi hai bey tu? Kabhi choot maari hai?

Worker : Nahi!

Kaushik : Bas yahi toh dikkat hai tumhari. Abe jaise ek nashedi insaan bina nashe ke reh nahi sakta na? Wese hi ye lund hai. Ek baar ye choot ka swaad chakh le na toh bina choot maare nahi rehta.

Worker : Choot ke chakkar me lene ke dene bhi pad jaate hai. Aur isliye, mein apne kaam se hi matlab rakhta hu.

Kaushik : Haan toh tu wahi kar. Mere kaam me taang mat ada. Mere lund ko choot ki zaroorat hai. Agar ye set ho gayi, toh fir kehne hi kya. Naukri bhi karte raho, free ki choot bhi maarte jao. Hahahaha! Pagaar ki pagaar. Upar se food truck ke maalik ki sambandhi hai woh. Sab set hai.

Worker (sighs) : Tu jaane aur tera kaam jaane.

Kaushik apne saathi ki baato ko ek kaan se sunn dusre kaan se nikal diya. Tabhi, uski nazar Veer par padi jo Sonali ke food truck me jaa raha tha.

Kaushik : Iski maa ka- Jaldi, gaadi waha laga.

Worker : Kyu? Kya hua?

Kaushik : Abe yahi owner hai na?

Worker (squints) : H-Haan shayad-! Haan yahi hai. Veer Sir!

Kaushik : Haan toh gaadi laga waha. Turant!

Worker : Haan haan!

Kaushik ke saathi ne food truck chaalu kar aage badhaya aur U-turn lete hue woh road ke iss side par aa gaya jaha Sonali ka food truck maujood tha.

Jab tak ye log yaha aa rahe the tab tak Veer aur Sonali ke beech alag vartalaap chal raha tha.

Veer : Sab theek toh chal raha hai na?

Sonali : Hmm? Aaj tumhe itna parvaah kaise hone lagi? Aise toh kabhi jhaakne nahi aate.

Veer : Kya mein puch nahi sakta?

Sonali : Puch sakte ho! Bilkul puch sakte ho. Sab kuch tumhara hi toh hai. Jo chaahe karo! Bhala mein kaun hoti hu-?

Veer (sighs) : Mera matlab ye hai ki kahi koi gadbad toh nahi hai. Koi dikkat toh nahi hai na? Sab theek hai?

Sonali ne do pal ke liye use dekha fir muh fula ke mudte hue boli,

Sonali : Hmm! Sab theek hai!

Veer (nods) : Alright! Agar koi- Agar koi problem ho toh mujhse share kar sakti ho. Okay?

Sonali (confused) : Tumhari tabiyat toh theek hai na?

Veer : I-!! Leave it! Apna dhyaan rakhna. Aur, apne aas paas ke logo ka bhi.

Sonali : Huhh!? Kya matlab? Aaj subah subah kahi sarr bhidwa ke aaye ho kya? Kaisi behki behki baatein kar rahe ho?

Veer kuch keh paata ki itne me Kaushik apne saathi ke sang truck leke haazir tha.

Window se nikal ke hi woh haath hilaate hue chillaaya,

Kaushik : Arre! Haha! Sir! Aaj mile ho aap! Warna kabhi darshan hi nahi hue aap ke toh batao.

Uske aate hi,

'Check!'

Veer ne usko poori tarah se scan kar liya. Kahi koi gadbad nazar nahi aayi. Kaushik ek aam ladka hi tha. Thoda awara-gardi karne waala tha magar kaam uska theek tha. Koi chor, gunda, mawali nahi tha woh. Jab Veer ne ye dekha ki kahi kuch gadbad nahi hai. Toh usne ek raahat ki saans li.

Kya iska matlab Prachi bewajah hi chintit ho rahi thi?

Prachi, jo theek unke saath khadi hui thi woh Kaushik ko aata dekh ke hi tension me aa gayi.

Veer ne idhar Kaushik ke aate hi uski baat ka jawaab diya,

Veer : Ohh! Naye ho?

Kaushik : Ji Sir!

Veer : Kya naam?

Kaushik : Ji Kaushik!

Veer : Alright! Acche se kaam karna.

Kaushik : Aap fiqr mat karo Sir! Mein apna kaam poori lagan se karta hu. Lekin, aaj aap se ek permission lena chaahta hu. Umeed hai aap mana nahi karoge.

Veer : Kaisi permission?

Kaushik : Woh kya hai na, kuch dino pehle pradarshani lagi hai yahi paas me. Mujhe jaana tha zara.

Veer (nods) : Theek hai! Tum jaldi jaa sakte ho.

Kaushik : Na na na na! S-Sirf mein nahi!

Veer : Toh?

Kaushik : Ahem! Woh kya hai na! Ab akela mein kya karunga Sir waha. Saath me koi hona chahiye na? Sundar si pradarshani ko dekhne ke liye ek sundari bhi toh honi chahiye na saath me? Hai na?

Veer : Bilkul!

Veer ne keh toh diya magar uske chehre par koi bhaav nahi the. Woh Kaushik ko aise dekh raha tha jaise kisi namoone ko dekh raha ho.

[Oh my~ Look at this worthless ant! A toad wishing to eat swan meat.]

Pari ke muh se bhi Kaushik ke liye beizzati hi nikli. Do kaudi ka ladka uske Master se hi unki hi bandi ko ghumaane ki permission maang raha tha. What a joke!

Magar-

Sonali ne jab Kaushik ki baatein suni, toh woh hass padi.

'Hmm?'

[Oh! Lagta hai~ Tumne apna swaad ise nahi chakhaya. What a mistake you have made my baby~ Isliye kehti hu. Forget all this. Come to me! Surrender to me! Call me 'Mommy' and I will make you the most powerful man in this world.]

'Please stop!!!'

Veer Pari se baat karne ke mood me nahi tha abhi. Sonali ne Kaushik ki baat sunn Veer ko dekha jaise maano woh dekhna chaah rahi ho ki Veer kaise react karta hai.

Veer (sighs) : No! This is work time. Tum khud jaana chaahte ho, koi manahi nahi hai. Jaa sakte ho. Par, staff me se kisi aur ko apne sang le jaana? Ye mein allow nahi kar sakta. Shaam hone waali hai aur ab rush hours rahenge. So, it's a strict 'NO' from my side.

Veer ka jawaab sunte hi jaise Kaushik ke muh pe 12 baj gaye. Kintu, usne aisa dikhaya nahi. Farzi muskan liye woh hassa aur punah bola,

Kaushik : Hahahaha! Arre kya Sir? Subah se din tak itna toh kaam kiya hai humne. Aur mein jaanta hu, sundari ka bhi ghoomne ka mann hoga. Ahem! Mera matlab hai Sonali ji ka! *winks*

Kaushik Sonali ko hi sundari keh ke itni derr se sambodhit kar raha tha. Jiske chalte, Sonali bas nazre ferr muskuraaye jaa rahi thi. Ye ladka roz uske paas kisi na kisi bahane se aaya karta aur roz apni fizool baato se use entertain karta.

Par kahi na kahi, ab uski fizool baatein hi Sonali ko jaise pasand aane lagi thi. Galti uski nahi thi. Balki, galti kisi ki bhi nahi thi.

Gaav ki ek aam ladki hone ke kaaran, Sonali ke standards ladko ko lekar behad hi low the. Shuru se hi woh apne baap Pushpendra aur uske bete Amit jaiso ko dekhti aayi thi. Jo ek number ke nalle, jaahil, gawaar aur nashedi aadmi the.

Aisi biraadri me rehne ke baad, Sonali ko ladke me bas itna hi chahiye rehta tha ki koi use sukhi rakh sake. Uski qadr kare. Bas!! Yahi the uske standards aur uski maangein.

Veer jaisa ladka uski expectations se bhi kahi zyada tha. Upar se uski khud ki maa, aur bhabhi apni taangein fela ke apne aap ko Veer ke prati samarpit kar chuki thi. Kahi na kahi, Sonali ke antarmann me ye dhaarna thi ki Veer bhala use kyu chaahega?

Uske paas toh ladkiyo ki line lagi hui thi. Magar maajra toh kuch aur hi tha, jo bechari woh nahi jaanti thi. Kisi aur ladke ka aana aur Sonali se iss tarah rubaru hona. Ye Veer ko na jaane kyu magar zara bhi pasand nahi aa raha tha.

Kaushik ke aamantran par usne turant hi naahi jataayi,

Veer : Nahi! Sonali ko kaam hai aur woh kahi nahi jayegi.

Kaushik : Arre ye kya baat hui Sir? Thoda hamare baare me bhi sochiye!

Veer : Nahi! Mene kaha na ki Sonali nahi-

Kintu,

Sonali : Kyu nahi? Kab se mein bhi subah se lage lage thak gayi thi. Pradarshani mujhe bhi dekhni thi. Na jaane kab se nahi dekhi. Isi bahaane thodi kamar bhi seedhi ho jayegi.

Veer : S-Sonali? T-Tum!?

Sonali : Haan! Kya mein nahi thakti? Mujhe bhi ghoomne ka mann karta hai. Aur kaun sa roz roz chhutti leti hu?

Veer : Tum aise kaise-!? Mujhe abhi zaroori kaam se jaana hai. Prachi akele nahi sambhal payegi. Tum iss waqt-

Sonali : Haan haan! Mujhe pata hai! Koi kaam nahi hai tumhara! Ab T.V me aa rahe ho iska matlab ye nahi ki harr waqt vyast ho tum. Ab aaye ho toh sambhalo apna yeh truck. Jaise uss din sambhala tha!?

Kaushik : Arre waah! Hahahaha! Kya baat hai! Dekha na Sir? Sab ki hi iccha hai. Mein toh kehta hu aaj aap chhutti hi dedo. Aa jao sundari- Mera matlab hai Sonali ji! Aaiye chalte hai! Thoda ghoom ke aate hai.

Bechari Sonali ye nahi jaanti thi ki abhi abhi Bhumika ki hotel me musibat aayi hai. Woh iss baat se anjaan thi. Woh nahi jaanti thi ki Veer ko abhi jald hi nikalna tha. Woh toh yahi samjhi ki Veer koi bahana bana raha tha.

Woh Kaushik se bhi parichit thi. Ye pehli baar nahi tha jab woh uske waale truck me baith rahi thi. Jab use hire kiya tha tab bhi woh Kaushik ke sang baith ke use venues ke baare me batayi thi. Kaha food truck lagana hai, kaise kaam karna hai. Toh isme ghabrane waali koi baat hi nahi thi ki woh akeli jaa rahi hai.

Saath hi woh Veer ko tang karne me kaha peeche hatati thi? Ye nirnay lete hi woh mann hi mann thahaake laga rahi thi. Soch rahi thi ki Veer chidhega aur tu-tu main-main karega.

Yahi soch woh truck se nikli aur Kaushik ke truck me chali gayi. Prachi muh khole bas nazara dekhti rahi. Jis train ko woh sahi se chalane ki koshish kar rahi thi woh toh patri se hi utar gayi. Naiyaa dubti hui nazar aa rahi thi use. Woh Veer ko bas hamdardi liye dekhi.

Aur mann me hi sochne lagi,

'Kya kar diya ye aapne Sonali di? Aapne Veer Sir jaise ladke ko haath se jaane diya? Agar mein aapki jagah hoti, toh uss Kaushik chhapri ko ghaas tak nahi daalti. Ye kya kar diya aapne?'

Sonali idhar muskaan liye seat par baithi aur truck chaalu hoke waha se chalne laga.

Magar jaise hi uski nazre Veer par tiki toh woh ghabra uthi. Veer ke chehre par taajub bhare bhaav the.

Woh Sonali ko aise dekh raha tha jaise use pehli baar dekh raha ho. Jaise usne koi aisa kaam kar diya ho jiski Veer ko umeed hi nahi thi. Achanak hi, Sonali ke dil ki dhadkane bechaini ke chalte tezz ho uthi. Par, truck chal chuka tha.

Use ye abhaas hua ki taang kheechne ke chakkar me kahi na kahi shayad usne Veer ko thes pohucha di hai. Ye sab kya ho raha tha?

Veer ke chehre par woh bhaav usne aaj se pehle kabhi nahi dekhe the. Kya uss se koi bhul ho gayi? Kya woh zyada bol gayi?

Sonali : N-Nahi-!!! R-Ruko-!

Par tab tak bohut derr ho chuki thi. Food truck kaafi aage badh chuka tha. Aur Sonali, sheeshe se Veer ke chehre ko dekh paa rahi thi. Na jaane kyu par uske dil me ek ajeeb sa dard utha.

Ab jaise sab kuch galat lag raha tha. Ye pradarshani, ye thakaan, Veer ki taang kheechna, jaise ab sab bhul chuki thi woh. Ab jaise inka koi artha hi nahi reh gaya tha. Kyuki jise sataane ke liye usne ye kiya tha wahi use hataash hue naraazgi me dekh raha tha. Veer ki wahi akhiri chhavi uske mann me bas gayi aur ek vichitr sa dard chhodh gayi.

Truck yaha se Veer ki aankhon se ojhal ho gaya. Sonali ke andar wapas jaane ki himmat bhi nahi aayi aur na hi woh kuch samajh paayi ki ye kya hua abhi abhi. Veer ko uss tarah dekh, uske dil me itna dard kyu uth raha tha?

'Iss se pehle-! Iss se pehle mene use kabhi aise nahi dekha! K-Kahi mein kuch zyada toh nahi bol gayi na? Agar woh bura maan gaya toh-!!!'

Lekin, ab sochne se kya fayda jab chidiya chug gayi khet. Woh ye nahi jaanti thi ki aane waale pal uske liye kaise hone waale the. Uske peeche khada Kaushik apni ghatiya nazro se uske badan ko taadne me laga hua tha. Muh se laar tapakne ki deri thi bas.

'Aaj toh teri seal tod hi dunga Sonali darling!!!'

***

"Ye kya kiya aapne?"

Truck ke jaate hi Veer ke peeche se Prachi ki naraazgi bhari awaaz aayi.

Veer : Kya?

Lag raha tha jaise woh Veer se bhi kahi zyada nirash thi.

Prachi : Aapne unhe jaane diya?

Veer (turns back) : Mene unhe jaane diya?

Veer ke sawaal par Prachi maun reh gayi. Usne jaane nahi diya tha. Balki, woh sabhi khud hi chale gaye the.

Veer chaahta toh ek baar me yaha maujood ek ek ki hekdi nikaal deta. Use bas 'Intimidating Presence' equip karne ki zaroorat thi. Uska aura mehsoos kar ke hi unn sab ki bolti band ho jaati. Lekin, usne aisa na kiya.

Prachi bas saantvna liye use dekhti rahi. Veer ke dil pe kya guzar rahi thi jaise woh jaanti thi.

Woh hairaan tha. Use thes pohuchi thi. Taajub iss baat ka nahi tha ki Sonali Kaushik ke saath gayi. Taajub iss baat ka tha ki Sonali uski baat ka yakeen na kar ke Kaushik ki baat ka yakeen kar chali gayi.

Kitne mahine ho chuke the use aur Sonali ko ek chhat ke neeche rehte hue? Usne apni taraf se kya kami chhodhi thi Sonali ke liye? Dard bas yahi tha ki Sonali ne ek baar bhi uski baat pe vishvaas na kiya. Aur bina poori baat sune nikal gayi. Yahi kaaran tha jo uske chehre par aashcharya tha.

Prachi : A-Ab?

Veer : You stay here! Mujhe kuch kaam hai! Mein aata hu baad me.

Prachi : O-Okay!

Woh aage kuch na keh paayi. Veer turant hi uske hawaale food truck chhodh seedha Hotel Prestige yaani ki Bhumika aur Shweta ki hotel ki orr nikal gaya.

***

Hotel Prestige
Evening ~ 6:08 PM

"Ye sab kya laga rakha hai, haan?"

"Aur nahi toh kya? Hum sab kya bewakoof hai?"

"Arre jab nahi ho paa raha hai toh lena hi nahi chahiye na order. Kaisa management hai aapka?"

"Paisa bhar dikhta hai inhe Bhai sahab. Baaki grahak ki qadr thodi hi hai."

"Sahi kaha!"

"Mein khud aadhe ghante se wait kar raha hu. Family saath me hai. Order le liya hai magar abhi tak table par paani ka jug tak nahi aaya hai. Ab batao!"

"Ye koi dhang thode hi hai. Bhai nahi ho raha aapse toh bata do. Band kar do. Hai na? Aadmi apni dusri jagah jaaye. Usko pehle hi bata do."

"Bilkul! Bilkul!"

"Haan! Samay ki barbadi hai aise me toh-"

"Mein bhi family saath aaya hu. Ab mera order pehle de diya. Aur abhi tak baccho ka order nahi aaya. Ye kya baat hui? Matlab mein unke saamne akele akele khau ab? Aap batao bhai. Family time ka matlab kya hota hai? Aadmi hotel kyu jaata hai?"

"Bilkul! Bilkul! Parivar ke saath khaane ke liye hi toh aata hai. Par ye baat ye kaha samajhte hai-"

"Sahi kaha ji. Darasal, ye aaj kal harr hotel ka bann gaya hai. Jab jab holiday waale din rehte hai ye uss din jaan boojh ke itna rush ghuswa lete hai laalach ke chakkar me. Baad me inse manage hota nahi hai."

Kayi saare log reception area me khade ek dusre se baatein karne me lage hue the aur counter ke uss side khadi Nandini jo ki hotel ki manager thi bas ghabra ke sab kuch dekh rahi thi.

Nandini : Sir! Please! Shaanti banaye rakhiye. Dekhiye! Thodi si problem ho gayi hai. Baat samajhne ki koshish kariye. Aisa kabhi hota nahi hai. Par aaj thodi si dikkat ho gayi hai.

"Arre kya dikkat ho gayi hai?"

"Haan haan! Jab nahi ho paa raha toh pehle batana chahiye."

"Shaam ke samay me ye haal hai, socho raat me kya hoga jab dinner ke liye aur families aayengi."

"Band kar do hotel."

Nandini : P-Please Sir! Try to understand.

Nandini ne kabhi bhi iss tarah ki situation se deal nahi kiya tha. Kyuki aisi naubat kabhi aayi hi nahi thi. Par aaj na jaane kiski nazar lag gayi thi unki hotel ko.

Nandini ne apne sehyogi logo ko dekha aur public ko shaant rakhne ke liye keh ke woh fauran hi andar kitchen ki orr bhaagi.

Andar aate hi woh zorr se boli,

Nandini : Ma'am!! Ma'am baahar situation ab out of control jaa rahi hai. Manage karna ab mushqil ho raha hai. Logo ka gussa badhta jaa raha hai.

Andar Bhumika chintit nazro se use dekhi. Kitchen me saamne saare chefs aur workers apna kaam dhaam chhodh ke ek jhund bana ke khade hue the.

Unn sab ke beech me hotel ka Head Chef apni guroor bhari muskaan liye khada tha. Head Chef woh hota tha jo kitchen me saare chefs ka head hota tha. Wahi baaki chefs ko nirdesh deta tha aur hotel acchi tarah se chal sake, isme uska bohut bada yogdaan hota tha.

Magar, Hotel Prestige ke Head Chef, Narang aaj kisi aur mood me hi tha. Kareeb 40-45 ki umr ka ye aadmi apne saath saath baakiyo ko bhi apne shadiyantra me shaamil kiye baitha tha.

Narang : Mein kahe deta hu! Hamari maange poori karo warna hum sab abhi ke abhi apni naukri chhodh denge.

Bhumika bechain ho uthi. Iske pehle bhi woh do baar uss Narang ki payment badha chuki thi. Iss se zyada woh afford nahi kar sakti thi. Balki, shayad hi koi itni payment deta hoga.

Bhumika : Aapki payment mein pehle hi do baar badha chuki hu. Ye theek nahi hai. Kahi aur jaa ke dekhiye. Koi bhi aapko-

Narang : Hmph! Toh theek hai. Chale jaata hu. Yaha se acchi pagaar milne ka offer wese hi aa chuka hai mujhe.

Bhumika : Huh!??

Narang : Chalo Bhai log!!

Narang ke saath kaafi log the. Magar saare nahi. Kuch the jo abhi bhi apni pagaar se khush the aur hotel ke hit ke liye hi kaam karna chaahte the. Hotel se unka lagaav tha. Par ye log chand hi the.

Bhumika ne jab dekha ki woh log jaa sakte hai toh woh darr gayi. Woh inhe jaane nahi de sakti thi. Agar aisa hua, toh hotel ke profit ke upar bohut bada antar aa sakta tha. Nuksaan hi nuksaan ho sakta tha.

Naye chefs ko dhundhna, unhe laana, fir wapas se kaam samjhana, ye sab na jaane kitna samay le sakta tha. Uske baad taste ka change hona. Harr chef apne dhang se khaana banata hai. Jo yaha pehle se bana rahe hai, unke jaisa agla aadmi nahi bana sakta.

Prestige ki yahi toh pehchaan thi. Uska taste!! Agar chefs badal jayenge, toh woh pehle jaisa taste kaise maintain kar payenge? Signature dishes ka kya hoga jo sirf head chef hi banaaya karta hai?

Inn vichaaro ne Bhumika ko ek chakravyuh me fasa diya. Agar Shweta yaha hoti toh woh ab tak chidh ke Narang ko bhaga chuki hoti. Usme itna tolerance nahi. Magar, Bhumika ke andar tolerance level kahi zyada tha.

Bhumika (frowns) : Ye aap theek nahi kar rahe. Baahar log apne khaane ka wait kar rahe hai. Ye saari baatein aap baad me bhi toh kar sakte the na? Abhi karne ki kya zaroorat thi?

Narang : Iska faisla abhi hi hoga. Baad me taalne wala kaam mera nahi. Kyu bhai log?

"Haan haan!! Faisla abhi hoga."

Bhumika : A-Aap sab-!!! Kya zara bhi pyaar nahi aapko iss hotel se? Itne saalo tak aap sab ne kaam kiya hai. Kya kabhi aapko kisi cheez ki taqleef hone di hai mene ya Mom ne?

Uski iss baat par kuch chefs apna sarr jhuka ke khade ho gaye. Baat satya thi. Aaj tak unhe kabhi bhi kisi bhi cheez ki taqleef nahi hui thi. Pagaar hamesha samay par mil jaaya karti thi. Tyohaaro me unhe bonus bhi milta tha. Kahi se bhi koi taqleef nahi thi.

Fir woh sab kyu apni itni shaleen maalkin ke khilaaf khade ho uthe? Jawaab tha ~ Narang!

Jisne bhadka ke unhe apne side kar liya tha. Thode se behkaave me aane ke baad woh ye tak bhul gaye ki isi hotel se unka ghar chalta tha. Aaj woh usi ko laat maar rahe the. Kahi na kahi unn sab ke andar ek glaani ki bhaavna zaroor jaagi. Magar ab woh itna aage badh chuke the. Ab peeche nahi hatt sakte the.

Narang : Hume bas saaf saaf jawab de do!

Bhumika duwidha me fas gayi. Kya kare woh?

Saath khadi Arohi bhi clueless thi. Kya karti woh bechari.

Arohi : Kaash Veer yaha hota-!!!

Uske muh se ye nikla hi tha ki-

"What's happening here???"

Ek jaani pehchaani awaaz uske kaano me padi.

'Huh???'

Bhumika aur Arohi dono ne mud ke dekha toh paaya ki Veer unke saamne khada hua tha. Woh abhi abhi kitchen me aaya tha. Baahar ke staff ne use andar jaane ke liye kaha tha.

Arohi : Veeeeeer!!!

Woh aage badh unke nazdeek aaya aur Bhumika ne use sab kuch samjha diya. Pehle toh Veer hassa aur uske baad usne Narang ko dekha,

Veer : Toh tumhe jawaab chahiye? Hmm?

Narang ne upar se neeche tak Veer ko dekha. Iss ladke ko usne pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha. Jis tarah se Bhumika aur Arohi uske saath pesh aa rahi thi, Narang ne ek anumaan laga liya ki ye ladka unka koi rishtedar hi tha. Apna guroor wapas se chehre par jhalkaate hue woh bola,

Narang : Hmph! Tum jawaab doge? Kherr! Jo bhi de, mujhe farq nahi padta. Bas, haan ya naa me bata do. Payment hamari badha rahe ho ya nahi?

Veer (smiles) : Theek hai! Toh mein deta hu tumhe jawaab!

Narang : Hmm!

Veer : GET LOST!

Narang : Huh???

Bhumika : Ahhh??? V-Veeer???

Narang ko jaise apne kaano par yakeen nahi hua. Bhumika ka bhi yahi haal tha. Woh iss waqt kaise bhi kar ke unhe rokna chaahti thi. Baahar sabhi khaane ka wait kar rahe the. Aise me ye kaisa nirnay tha ki Narang ko bhaga diya jaaye?

Narang : K-Kya kaha tumne?

Veer : Mene kaha, dafa ho jao!

Narang : Haah! Haha! Hahahahahaha!

Bhumika : Veer! Tum-!?

Narang : Mujhe toh laga tha thodi bohut aqal se kaam loge. Par- Hahahahaha!!!

Veer (smiles) : Aqal se hi kaam liya hai. Aur ye aqal pehle hi dikha deni chaahiye thi.

Narang : *frowns*

Veer : How much you pay him monthly?

Bhumika : Th-That's-!!! 60,000!!!

Veer (baffled) : 60 hazaar rupaye?? Aur pehle kitna pay karti thi?

Bhumika : 45,000!

Veer : 15,000 rupaye ka izaafa!! Mujhe nahi lagta ki aas paas ke kisi bhi hotel me kisi Head Chef ki itni payment hogi.

Narang : Ladke!! Tujhe pata hi kya hai? Hmph!!! Baahar jaake dekh zara. Casa Belle waale toh mujhe khushi khushi le lenge.

Bhumika : N-Nahi!!!

Bhumika ka darr jayaz tha.

Casa Belle!!!




Haal hi me khuli ek nayi hotel jo unke hotel ke paas hi thi. Ek 5 star hotel. Bhumika ka sapna tha ki woh apni iss hotel ko 5 star hotel me tabdeel kare. Duniya ki ekdum premium hotels me uski hotel ka naam jaana jaaye. Aur isi sapne ke liye woh jee tod mehnat kiya karti thi.

Lekin, Casa Belle ke aane ke baad se hi hotel ke liye mushqile badh rahi thi. Zyada crowd abhi bhi Prestige ke paas hi tha. Magar, kya hoga agar Narang jaise chefs uske paas se chale jaaye aur jaa ke Casa Belle me kaam karne lage?

Hotel toh band hone ki kagaar pe aa jayega.

Veer bas muskuraya. Aur woh khushi khushi bola,

Veer : Darwaze khule hai! Jaa sakte ho!

Narang : T-Tum-!!!

Bhumika : Veer! Nahi! Hum aisa nahi kar sakte. Jald se jald inn sab ko rokna hoga. Baahar shor badhta jaa raha hai. Th-Theek hai mein payment badhaane ke liye-

Veer : Hargiz nahi! Ek rupaya bhi badhaya nahi jayega. Payment aapke kaam ke hisaab se ekdum sahi hai. Balki, zyada hi hai. 50,000 is a very good amount for a head chef. Not to mention ki tum kisi 5 star hotel ke chef nahi ho. Aur na hi abhi hamari hotel ek fully 5 star hotel me tabdeel hui hai.

Narang : Toh theek hai-!!! Bhaad me jao tum! Madam ji! Ab sambhal lena aap. Baad me mere paas gidgidate hue mat aana.

Bhumika : V-Veeeeer!!! Ye kya kiya tumne? P-Please! Hum unhe jaane nahi de sakte.

Narang : Hmph! Chalo Bhai log!

Usne kaha, magar pehle ke muqaable ab sirf aadhe hi log Narang ke saath aaye. Baaki aadhe peeche hoke khade ho gaye. Veer ki baato ne jaise unhe abhaas dilaya tha ki unhe jo mil raha tha woh pehle se kahi zyada tha.

Narang : Hmm? Tum sab!!! Yahi rehne ka irada hai kya? Bhulo nahi ki aise mauke baar baar nahi aate. Pagaar badhaane ka iss se accha mauka nahi milega. Ye ghatiya hotel chhodho aur chalo mere saath. Mein tum sab ko 20% zyada pagaar dilwaunga pehle ke muqaable.

Chef 1 : 20% zyada?

Narang : Haan! Chalo ab! Narang ki zubaan hai.

Chef 1 : L-Lekin-!! Nahi! Nahi hum yahi theek hai.

Narang : Tum!!! Mene kaha chalo mere saath.

Uska haath jabran thaam Narang ne jab use ghaseetna chaaha toh ek mazboot haath ne uski kalaayi ko jakad liya.

Veer : Woh kahi nahi jayega!

Narang : Ladke-!!! Haath chhodh!! Woh toh madam ke yaha itne saal kaam kiya hai isliye haath nahi uthaya tujh par. Tu hota kaun hai mujhe rokne waala? Madam ke naate mein kuch kar nahi raha warna-

Veer : Warna!? Shukr manao ki unhi madam ke chalte tum ab tak sahi salamat ho. Itne saal kaam kiya hai isliye zyada kuch kiya nahi mene warna-

Narang : Hoshiyar samajhta hai apne aap ko? Saale teri toh-

*Swish*

Wahi par rakha ek bada sa chamcha utha ke Narang ne Veer ke sarr pe chalaya par woh late tha. Ya yu kahe ki Veer uss se hazaro guna tezz tha.

Agle hi shan Narang ke haath se woh chamcha gaayab hua,

LIMBO!!!

*Crack*

*Swoosh*

Narang ko uske peeche se shirt pakad ke Veer ne uska sarr turant hi-

*Plop*

Paani se bhare ganj me de maara.

*Blurgh!!* *Gulp* *glrggh*

Bhumika : Nooooo!!! You both-!!!! Stop it Please!!!

Paani se uske chehre ko nikaal Veer use darwaze ki orr laaya aur-

*BAMMMMMM*

Darwaza zorr se khula aur ek udta hua insaan kuch feet dur jaa ke gira.

Baahar baithi tamaam janta ekdum se shaant ho gayi. Jo shikaayte woh pehle kar rahe the. Maar dhaad dekh sabke sab ekdum se dubak ke baith gaye.

Narang : L-Ladkeeee-!!! Madar-

*Bammmmmmm*

"Ugggghhh!!!"

Veer ne use pakda aur use aise le gaya jaise maano woh kooda fekne jaa raha tha.

Veer : Security!!!

Guard 1 : H-Haan!

Veer : Aaj se ye chef nahi hai. Hamari hotel me kaam toh kya, shaqal bhi nahi dikhni chahiye iski.

[What a strong performance. That's what I like about you~ A strong boy... needs a strong 'Mommy'! Doesn't he?]

'Shut up!'

[Fufufu~ Sooner or later! You'll be mine! ♡]

Narang ke saath jitne bhi the, woh Veer ko ladta dekh ke hi sehem gaye.

Veer : Aur tum sab!? Jaana nahi hai?

"N-Nahi Sir! H-Hum kaam karne taiyaar hai. Hum-"

Veer : Out!!!

"???"

Veer : Iss se pehle ki yahi haal tum sab ka hoye. Mere bina kahe hi nikal jao!

Na chaahte hue bhi unn sabhi ko waha se nikalna pada. Unhone apne hi perr par kulhadi maar li thi. Acchi bhali naukri haath se gawa di.

Ab woh sab Narang ke hi bharose the. Idhar Bhumika ki jaan jaise halak me aa gayi. Veer ne sabke saamne hi Head Chef ko nikaal diya? Ab kya hoga?

Bhumika : Khatam! Sab khatam! Veer! Kyu kiya aisa??? Ab k-kaise-!?

Arohi : Trust him!

Bhumika : Huh?

Arohi : He must have thought of something.

Bhumika : Wh-What?

Narang aur uski toli ko bhagaane ke baad Veer apne customers ke saamne aaya aur usne apni baat rakhi,

Veer : Jo kuch bhi hua. Uss sab ke liye mein aapse maafi maangta hu. Darasal, hamare Head Chef ki zyaadti badh gayi thi. Aur unhe ayeena dikhana zaroori tha. Mujhe aap sab 10 minute dijiye. 10 minute ke andar andar orders lagne shuru ho jayenge. Mein waada karta hu, aisa swaad aapne kahi nahi chakha hoga.

Uske bolte hi aapsi me logo ki khusur pusur chaalu ho gayi.

"Theek hai lao Bhai! Ab itna late toh ho hi gaya hai."

"H-Haan! 10 minute dekh sakte hai."

Manzoori milne ke baad Veer muskuraate hue kitchen me gaya. Peeche peeche Bhumika aur Arohi bhi thi. Nandini wahi baahar reh ke logo ko sambhaale rahi.

Aur idhar andar aate hi,

*Ding*

[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]

Veer : Tum sab!!! Apna apna naam batao! Jaldi!

Bache hue chefs se jaise hi Veer ne buland awaaz me pucha sab uske aage sehem gaye. Andar se hi ek respect waali bhaavna na jaane kyu jaagrit hone lagi.

Apna apna naam unn sabhi ne bataya. Bhumika ko chinta khaaye jaa rahi thi.

Bhumika : Veer ab kya hoga? Hum kaise manage karenge? Ye nahi hona chahiye tha.

Veer : Bhumika dii!

Bhumika : ???

Veer (smiles) : Woh Narang pehle se hi naukri chhodhne ke chakkar me tha.

Bhumika : Wh-What??

Veer : Kya aapne gaur nahi kiya? Kyu woh baar baar Casa Belle hotel ka zikr kar raha tha?

Bhumika : Woh-

Veer (smiles) : Casa Belle waale logo ne pehle se hi use ghoos de di hai shayad. Narang toh bas bahana dhoondh raha tha yaha se nikalne ka.

Bhumika : Ahh!!?

Veer : Isliye woh aisi betuki farmayish rakh raha tha. Use laga tha ki aap use naukri se nikaal dogi. Aur uska kaam bann jayega.

Bhumika : Y-Ye!?

Veer (smiles) : But you were persistent. Aap use jaane nahi de rahi thi. Uske liye aur mushqil ho raha tha. And that's why he opted for violence.

Bhumika : Ahhhnn! Y-Ye baat thi!?

Veer : I fulfilled his wish. Ab shayad hi woh kabhi accha khaana bana paaye. *smiles*

Bhumika : Hmm?

Veer (smiles) : Looks like we've got a new competition in the market. Anyways! Aap sab kuch mujh par chhodh dijiye.

Bhumika : B-But how-!?

Veer (screams) : CHEFS!!!!

"Y-Yesss sirrr!!!"

Veer ne apni shirt utaar apni kamar par baandhi. Haath dhoye aur woh taiyaar tha.

Veer : Get ready!!! Bhumika dii! Arohi dii! Order numbers dijiye. Pehle woh bataiye jaha orders adhura pohucha hai. Uske baad woh orders jaha bohut derr se khaana nahi pohucha. And lastly newest ones.

Bhumika : G-Got it!!

Arohi : Veer! Table number 7!!! Umm! 1 Dal fry, 1 Veg pulav, and 1 butter paneer masala!!

Veer : Got it!!!

Uske haath itni raftaar se chal rahe the ki baaki chefs apni aankhein faade dekhte reh gaye. Kahi koi choonk nahi, sab kuch perfection se ho raha tha.

Bhumika ne jab uski speed dekhi toh uska muh khula ka khula reh gaya. Speed hona koi bohut badi baat nahi thi.

Par full accuracy ke saath speed hona, ye bilkul naamumkin jaisa tha. Kahi koi cheez gir nahi rahi thi. Tel ki maatra, pan ko saute karne ka dhang, ingredients ki maatra sab kuch jaise ekdum perfectly daala jaa raha tha.

Veer : Vijayyy!!!

Vijay : Y-Yes Chef!?

Veer : Tomato soup!!! Table number 9 ke liye. Abhi!!!

Vijay : Y-Yes Chef!!!

Veer : Toasted bread piece daalna mat bhulna!!

Vijay : Y-Yes!!

Veer : Coriander ki garnishing!!!

Vijay (shouts) : Yessssss Chef!!!

Veer : Rohitttt!!!!

Rohit : H-Haan??

Veer : Same table!!! Dry Manchurian!!

Rohit : Y-Yess Chef!!!

*Clang* *Schling*

Bartano ki khat-pat awaazo ke saath aur chaaku chhuriya ki dhaar ke sang Veer ne kitchen me ek alag hi aura bhar diya.

Baaki chefs Veer ki skills dekh, uss se order lete hue itne motivate ho gaye ki woh harsho-ullas ke saath khaana banaane me jutt gaye. Asli swaad tabhi aata hai jab ek chef dil se khushi khushi uss khaane ko banaaye. Aaj wahi ho raha tha.

Bhumika ne aisa drishya pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha. Veer ko kaam karta dekh, uski dhadkane tezz ho uthi. Sach kehte hai. Ek mard sabse zyada attractive tab hi lagta hai jab woh apne kaam me leen ho.

Woh yaha uss Narang ki payment badhaane ke chakkar me thi. Aur yaha Veer ne ek jhalak me uske shadiyantra ko pakad liya tha.

Bhumika : I have so much yet to learn...! M-Mein use samajh nahi saki theek se.

Arohi (smiles) : That's okay! As long as you keep faith in him!

Bhumika (smiles) : I see now! Thank you! Arohi!

Arohi (smiles) : Mmm~

Baahar jaise jaise dishes aati gayi, logo ke mann se woh doubt khatam ho gaya. Jaise jaise unhone khaane ka swaad chakha sab ke sab chakit reh gaye. Baat sahi thi. Aaj tak unn sabhi ne iss tarah ka swaad nahi chakha tha. Dishes toh same hi thi. Lekin, ek naya zaayka tha usme. Kuch extra tha. Jo woh bata nahi paa rahe the.

Akhir kaar ye silsila khatam hua. Raat ke 10:30 baj rahe the. Rush samaapt ho chuka tha. Veer ne aaj se pehle kabhi itna khaana nahi banaaya tha.

Garmi ke chalte woh poora paseene se lath-path tha. Hotel ke baahar closed ka sign lag chuka tha.

Dining area me hi woh ek kursi par AC ke neeche baith gaya.

Uske bagal se Arohi thi toh wahi dusri orr Bhumika.

Arohi ne ek towel lete hue uska paseena pochha.

Veer (smiles) : Thank you!

Arohi : Thank you!

Veer : Hmm?

Arohi : For working this hard!

Bhumika ne achanak se uski baah ko apne haatho ke ird gird liya.

Veer : ???

Bhumika : Veer! Aaj sab ne khaane ki itni zyaada tareef ki hai ki mein tumhe bata nahi sakti. Aisa pehle kabhi nahi hua.

Veer : Haha!

Bhumika : No doubt woh Narang accha khana banaata tha. Lekin, kabhi bhi public aise react nahi karti thi. Jo kuch bhi tamasha aaj hua, uss se public darr bhi gayi thi. Isliye mene unhe Sunday ka special offer ka coupon bhi diya hai. Umeed hai ye swaad chakhne ke baad woh zaroor ayenge.

Veer : Of course!

Bhumika (frowns) : L-Lekin-! Ye toh sirf aaj ke liye tha. Aaj tumne madad kar di. Aage kya hoga?

Veer : Don't worry! Aapke liye mene naya head chef bhi dhoondh liya hai.

Bhumika : Kya??? Kaun hai woh?

Veer (smiles) : You'll know soon!

Woh aankhein band thodi derr khud ko durust karne laga jab,

*Puch*

'Huh?'

Do narm honth uske gaal par lag gaye. Bhumika ne sharmaate hue uske gaal ko chooma.

Bhumika (blushes) : Th-Thank you so much!!!

Veer : Ahem! D-Don't mention it!

***

Yaha toh sab nipat chuka tha. Magar inn beete ghante Sonali kaha thi?

Food truck se nikalne ke baad woh Kaushik ke sang pradarshani dekhne gayi thi. Khayaal toh use Veer ka hi aa raha tha.

Kintu, Kaushik ki lagataar baato ko sunn aur pradarshani me mauj masti kar uska dhyaan Veer par se thoda hatt gaya.

Derr raat ho rahi thi. Usne aaj khoob enjoy kiya tha. Ab lautne ka samay tha.

Kaushik ka dost bhi jaa chuka tha. Ab woh khud hi gaadi chala raha tha.

Kaushik : Kya iss nacheez ke saath sundari jii ko thoda bohut bhi accha laga?

Sonali : Hahaha! Tumhari baatein betuki hai. Aur mujh par line maarna band kar do.

Kaushik : Uui maa! Pakda gaya kya mein?

Sonali : Kab ke!!! Chalo! Aur mujhe jaldi se wapas se truck par chhodh do. Prachi ab aur late nahi ruk payegi.

Kaushik : Bilkul! Bilkul!

Sonali ko raaste pata nahi the. Magar kuch na kuch mod yaad zaroor the.

Jab Kaushik ne truck dusri disha me moda toh uski bauhe kass uthi.

Sonali : Arre? Y-Ye raasta nahi hai. Woh waala mod tha.

Kaushik : Jaane dijiye na! Aaj yaha se chalte hai. Kaafi saari khubsoorat jagaahe hai yaha pe. Aapko dikhata hu.

Sonali : N-Nahi! Raat bohut ho gayi hai. Aur mujhe ab jaana hai.

Kaushik : Maaniye toh baat-!!

Sonali : Mene kaha na-!!! Ye-! Ye kya kar rahe ho tum??

Kaushik : Nahi!! A-Aaj aapko meri baat maanami padegi.

Woh uski orr mudte hue bola. Uski muskaan me iss baar hawas ke iraade jhalak rahe the.

Sonali : !!???

[BIZMAN]

We can compare household of veer with any kind of royal houses...
Like a royal household has a king and veer is king...
Leader of Household has wise and care giving mother and sister veer has in form of his mother and sister Tej...
Leader of household has leadership qualities obviously veer has leadership qualities....
Leader of household should be brave and warrior veer is also one of them...
Leader of household has empire to rule and hero has business empire...
Leader of household has female slaves veer has in form of suman, Abha and other members of parijat but they are still under cover and one side of family did not know about them I am waiting for that update when this secret will reveal or expose completely...
I am also waiting for the update that how many ladies will become the member of harem front the bunch of these beauties as we know in royal harems females have different status some Nobel females are just for breeding and others are just for fun....
In royal house holds a king will breed one or more Nobel females by the choice of his mother because elder females knows well the breeding traits of women and she gives a male child to household who will become true heir of his father's empire but right now here we are not looking this kind of concept....
Will there be any kind of physical empire of veer beside his business empire where he will do welfare works for the people of his empire and will protect their physical and financial interests...
Obviously no royal household can survive without a trained, well disciplined and brave army and right now this concept is also not seen by reader may be writer has some thing in his mind regarding this...
I have so many questions regarding the theme of story if I think it according to theme it is vast and big concept.....
Once again salute to the writer....
Thanks Werewolf bro for this marvelous content and great concept...

Mega Update

Update - 154 ~ The Prestige's Ordeal​

Ab tak...

Kintu, samasya kabhi na aaye aisa kaise ho sakta tha. Jaha abhi sab kuch accha chal raha tha ki itne me hi Bhumika ko ek call aaya. Usne call receive kar jab baat suni toh uski aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Phone cut karte hi woh Veer ko dekhi,

Bhumika : Veer!! Ek problem ho gayi hai.

Magar woh akeli nahi thi. Truck se Prachi daudte hue aayi aur jaldbazi me boli,

Prachi : Ek nahi-! Do problem hai!!

Veer : Huh!!???

Ab aage...

Kehte hai ki bhagwan jab deta hai toh chhappar faad ke deta hai. Magar, kayi baar aisa bhi hota hai ki ek musibat ki jagah kaho anek musibatein saath me hi aa jaaye.

Veer iss samay isi duwidha me tha. Ek taraf woh Bhumika ko dekh raha tha jo chinta me uske saamne khadi thi toh wahi dusri taraf Prachi ko jo food truck se nikal ke jaldbaazi me aayi thi.

Samasyao ne darwaza khat-khata diya tha. Akhir, chal kya raha tha yaha? Veer ne pehle Bhumika se hi puchna sahi samjha.

Veer : Pehle aap bataiye! Kya hua hai?

Bhumika (frowns) : Veer! Ek bohut badi problem ho gayi hai.

Veer : Hotel me kuch-!?

Bhumika (nods) : Haan!

Veer : Kya dikkat hai?

Bhumika : Woh- Woh Head Chef-!!!

Veer : Head Chef?

Bhumika : Hmm! He's very troublesome to deal with. Pehle bhi woh kayi baar aisa kar chuka hai.

Veer : Kya kiya hai usne?

Bhumika : Baaki chefs ko bhadkana. Pay increase karne ke liye. Mein pehle hi 2 baar payment badha chuki hu. Magar-!! Oh no! Firse call aa raha hai. Veer! Mujhe jaana hoga!

Veer (nods) : Ek kaam kariye. Aap pohuchiye, mein aapke peeche peeche aata hu.

Bhumika : Alright!

Bhumika jaldbaazi me daudte hue waha se apni car ki orr nikli. Par, aisi sthiti me uska akela jaana theek nahi tha. Isliye,

Veer : Arohi dii?

Arohi (nods) : Mmm~ I got it!

Woh toh jaise bina kuch kahe hi samajh gayi. Bina Veer ko jawaab diye woh waha se tezz qadmo ke saath Bhumika ke peeche peeche chal di. Aur idhar Veer ke hontho par ek halki si muskaan saj gayi. Woh fir Prachi ki orr muda,

Veer : Ab tum batao! Kya hua hai?

Prachi : W-Woh-!

Veer : Ghabrane ki zaroorat nahi. Khul ke batao!

Prachi : Okay! Actually, baat ye hai ki- Ab aap toh jaante ho ki aapke kitne food trucks hai. Magar, aap harr ek ko daily dekhne nahi aa sakte. Right?

Veer : Mmm-hmm!

Prachi : Toh aaye din workers badalte rehte hai. Koi jaata hai toh koi naya aa jaata hai.

Veer : So?

Prachi : So, hua ye hai ki- Sir! Kaushik naam ka ek ladka hai.

Veer : Kaushik?

Prachi (nods) : Hmm! Woh morning waala breakfast ka jo ek aur food truck hai usme rehta hai. Uske saath ek aur ladka hai. Uske saath wala ladka accha hai lekin ye Kaushik-

Veer : Kuch kiya hai kya?

Prachi : N-Nahi!

Veer : Toh?

Prachi : Ab ho sakta hai mein zyada soch rahi hu. P-Par Sonali di jo hai-

Veer : Sonali ka kya?

Prachi : Sir, woh Kaushik aaj kal har roz shaam ko yaha aata hai aur fir Sonali di se meethi meethi baatein karta hai.

Veer : Hmm?

Prachi : Aur Sonali di use bas daant deti hai magar- Mujhe lagta hai jaise Kaushik ki baatein unhe pasand bhi aati hai.

Veer : I see! So, what's the problem?

Prachi : Problem ye hai ki- Mujhe lagta hai ki woh Kaushik kuch theek nahi hai.

Veer : Aisa kyu bhala? Agar woh theek nahi tha toh use hire kisne kiya?

Prachi : Sonali di ne hi. Uske kaam me koi dikkat nahi hai Sir.

Veer : Fir kya dikkat hai? Behaviour?

Prachi : Haan! Ho sakta hai mein kuch zyada overthink kar rahi hu. Mujhe jo laga woh mene aapko bata diya. Mujhe woh ladka theek nahi lagta.

Veer : Theek nahi lagta as in? Kya kuch gadbad kar raha hai? Ya kar sakta hai?

Prachi : Actually-

Veer : Prachi! Tumhe hich-kichane ki zaroorat nahi. Owner mein hu. Tum kaho! Tumhara koi kuch nahi ukhaad sakta. Just say!

Prachi : O-Okay! Shayad Kaushik-

Veer : Hmm?

Prachi : Sonali di ko paana chaahta hai.

Veer : Kya Sonali ko Kaushik pasand hai?

Prachi : Shayad haan! Like woh daant lagati hai use. Seedhe muh baat nahi karti par mene unko uski baato par muskuraate dekha hai.

Prachi ki baat par Veer ko thodi hairani hui. Sonali kisi ladke ki baato par muskura rahi thi?

Use Suman ko kahi gayi apni hi baat yaad aa gayi~

'Agar woh kisi aur ko chaahegi, toh mein use jaane dunga!'

Veer ko yaad hai ki usne isi kaaran kabhi Sonali ko Suman aur Aabha ki tarah apna slave nahi maana tha. Kyuki, ho sakta tha ki Sonali use apne maalik ke roop me sweekaar na kare. Ho sakta tha ki use koi aur ladka pasand aa jaaye.

Shayad aaj woh din aa chuka tha. Veer ne ek gehri saans li.

Veer : Agar use pasand hai. Toh kya dikkat hai?

Veer ko kehte hue pata nahi kyu accha nahi lag raha tha lekin fir bhi usne keh diya. Prachi ne jab ye suna toh woh hairat me use ghoor ke dekhi.

Prachi : A-Aap ko parvaah nahi?

Veer : Hmm? Isme parvaah kaisi? Sonali ko agar koi pasand hai toh acchi baat hai na woh toh-!?

Prachi : Eh? I-I thought-!!

Bechari Prachi duwidha me fas ke reh gayi. Use laga tha ki Veer aur Sonali ke beech kuch chal raha tha isliye woh bhaagi bhaagi daud ke ye baat use bataane aayi thi. Par yaha toh aisa prateet ho raha tha jaise Veer aur Sonali ke beech kuch tha hi nahi.

Woh toh ye soch ke aayi thi ki woh unn dono ke pyaar ko bacha legi. Par-

Veer : Sonali samajhdar hai. In case kuch gadbad tumhe lagti hai toh mujhe call kar dena.

Prachi : Mene aapko abhi toh bataya. Woh ladka theek nahi hai.

Veer : Hmm! Mene sunn liya hai Prachi. Par tumhare paas abhi kuch proof bhi nahi hai. Isliye keh raha hu, kuch gadbad lage toh mujhe call kar dena. You have my number, right?

Prachi : H-Haan!

Veer : I'll leave then!

Prachi : B-But-!!

Veer uski baat sune bagerr hi food truck ki orr chal diya. Andar Sonali dishes banaane me lagi hui thi.

Toh wahi road ke uss paar ek aur food truck khada hua tha. Jisme Kaushik aur ek aur worker maujood the.

Kaushik Sonali ko dekh apne lund ko masalne me laga hua tha. Aur uska saath driving seat par baitha tha.

Worker : Dekh! Mein abhi bhi keh raha hu. Woh teri pohuch ke baahar ki ladki hai. Upar se owner ki koi rishtedar lagti hai mujhe toh. Tujhse nahi patne waali.

Kaushik : Abe, tu jaanta hi kya hai ladkiyo ke baare me. Dekhta jaa bas tu. Gaav ki chhori hai. Chaahta toh mein uss Prachi ko set kar sakta tha. Magar, woh yahi Mumbai ki hai. Uss saali ko mere upar kuch shaq sa hai.

Worker : Woh ladki samajhdar hai!

Kaushik : Lekin, ye Sonali gaav se hai. Ise sheher ka utna gyaan nahi. Ise set karna asaan hai. Saali ko chodne me kya maza aayega. Lita lita ke chodunga.

Worker : Mein abhi bhi keh raha hu. Uss se dur hi reh.

Kaushik : Kya jhandu aadmi hai bey tu? Kabhi choot maari hai?

Worker : Nahi!

Kaushik : Bas yahi toh dikkat hai tumhari. Abe jaise ek nashedi insaan bina nashe ke reh nahi sakta na? Wese hi ye lund hai. Ek baar ye choot ka swaad chakh le na toh bina choot maare nahi rehta.

Worker : Choot ke chakkar me lene ke dene bhi pad jaate hai. Aur isliye, mein apne kaam se hi matlab rakhta hu.

Kaushik : Haan toh tu wahi kar. Mere kaam me taang mat ada. Mere lund ko choot ki zaroorat hai. Agar ye set ho gayi, toh fir kehne hi kya. Naukri bhi karte raho, free ki choot bhi maarte jao. Hahahaha! Pagaar ki pagaar. Upar se food truck ke maalik ki sambandhi hai woh. Sab set hai.

Worker (sighs) : Tu jaane aur tera kaam jaane.

Kaushik apne saathi ki baato ko ek kaan se sunn dusre kaan se nikal diya. Tabhi, uski nazar Veer par padi jo Sonali ke food truck me jaa raha tha.

Kaushik : Iski maa ka- Jaldi, gaadi waha laga.

Worker : Kyu? Kya hua?

Kaushik : Abe yahi owner hai na?

Worker (squints) : H-Haan shayad-! Haan yahi hai. Veer Sir!

Kaushik : Haan toh gaadi laga waha. Turant!

Worker : Haan haan!

Kaushik ke saathi ne food truck chaalu kar aage badhaya aur U-turn lete hue woh road ke iss side par aa gaya jaha Sonali ka food truck maujood tha.

Jab tak ye log yaha aa rahe the tab tak Veer aur Sonali ke beech alag vartalaap chal raha tha.

Veer : Sab theek toh chal raha hai na?

Sonali : Hmm? Aaj tumhe itna parvaah kaise hone lagi? Aise toh kabhi jhaakne nahi aate.

Veer : Kya mein puch nahi sakta?

Sonali : Puch sakte ho! Bilkul puch sakte ho. Sab kuch tumhara hi toh hai. Jo chaahe karo! Bhala mein kaun hoti hu-?

Veer (sighs) : Mera matlab ye hai ki kahi koi gadbad toh nahi hai. Koi dikkat toh nahi hai na? Sab theek hai?

Sonali ne do pal ke liye use dekha fir muh fula ke mudte hue boli,

Sonali : Hmm! Sab theek hai!

Veer (nods) : Alright! Agar koi- Agar koi problem ho toh mujhse share kar sakti ho. Okay?

Sonali (confused) : Tumhari tabiyat toh theek hai na?

Veer : I-!! Leave it! Apna dhyaan rakhna. Aur, apne aas paas ke logo ka bhi.

Sonali : Huhh!? Kya matlab? Aaj subah subah kahi sarr bhidwa ke aaye ho kya? Kaisi behki behki baatein kar rahe ho?

Veer kuch keh paata ki itne me Kaushik apne saathi ke sang truck leke haazir tha.

Window se nikal ke hi woh haath hilaate hue chillaaya,

Kaushik : Arre! Haha! Sir! Aaj mile ho aap! Warna kabhi darshan hi nahi hue aap ke toh batao.

Uske aate hi,

'Check!'

Veer ne usko poori tarah se scan kar liya. Kahi koi gadbad nazar nahi aayi. Kaushik ek aam ladka hi tha. Thoda awara-gardi karne waala tha magar kaam uska theek tha. Koi chor, gunda, mawali nahi tha woh. Jab Veer ne ye dekha ki kahi kuch gadbad nahi hai. Toh usne ek raahat ki saans li.

Kya iska matlab Prachi bewajah hi chintit ho rahi thi?

Prachi, jo theek unke saath khadi hui thi woh Kaushik ko aata dekh ke hi tension me aa gayi.

Veer ne idhar Kaushik ke aate hi uski baat ka jawaab diya,

Veer : Ohh! Naye ho?

Kaushik : Ji Sir!

Veer : Kya naam?

Kaushik : Ji Kaushik!

Veer : Alright! Acche se kaam karna.

Kaushik : Aap fiqr mat karo Sir! Mein apna kaam poori lagan se karta hu. Lekin, aaj aap se ek permission lena chaahta hu. Umeed hai aap mana nahi karoge.

Veer : Kaisi permission?

Kaushik : Woh kya hai na, kuch dino pehle pradarshani lagi hai yahi paas me. Mujhe jaana tha zara.

Veer (nods) : Theek hai! Tum jaldi jaa sakte ho.

Kaushik : Na na na na! S-Sirf mein nahi!

Veer : Toh?

Kaushik : Ahem! Woh kya hai na! Ab akela mein kya karunga Sir waha. Saath me koi hona chahiye na? Sundar si pradarshani ko dekhne ke liye ek sundari bhi toh honi chahiye na saath me? Hai na?

Veer : Bilkul!

Veer ne keh toh diya magar uske chehre par koi bhaav nahi the. Woh Kaushik ko aise dekh raha tha jaise kisi namoone ko dekh raha ho.

[Oh my~ Look at this worthless ant! A toad wishing to eat swan meat.]

Pari ke muh se bhi Kaushik ke liye beizzati hi nikli. Do kaudi ka ladka uske Master se hi unki hi bandi ko ghumaane ki permission maang raha tha. What a joke!

Magar-

Sonali ne jab Kaushik ki baatein suni, toh woh hass padi.

'Hmm?'

[Oh! Lagta hai~ Tumne apna swaad ise nahi chakhaya. What a mistake you have made my baby~ Isliye kehti hu. Forget all this. Come to me! Surrender to me! Call me 'Mommy' and I will make you the most powerful man in this world.]

'Please stop!!!'

Veer Pari se baat karne ke mood me nahi tha abhi. Sonali ne Kaushik ki baat sunn Veer ko dekha jaise maano woh dekhna chaah rahi ho ki Veer kaise react karta hai.

Veer (sighs) : No! This is work time. Tum khud jaana chaahte ho, koi manahi nahi hai. Jaa sakte ho. Par, staff me se kisi aur ko apne sang le jaana? Ye mein allow nahi kar sakta. Shaam hone waali hai aur ab rush hours rahenge. So, it's a strict 'NO' from my side.

Veer ka jawaab sunte hi jaise Kaushik ke muh pe 12 baj gaye. Kintu, usne aisa dikhaya nahi. Farzi muskan liye woh hassa aur punah bola,

Kaushik : Hahahaha! Arre kya Sir? Subah se din tak itna toh kaam kiya hai humne. Aur mein jaanta hu, sundari ka bhi ghoomne ka mann hoga. Ahem! Mera matlab hai Sonali ji ka! *winks*

Kaushik Sonali ko hi sundari keh ke itni derr se sambodhit kar raha tha. Jiske chalte, Sonali bas nazre ferr muskuraaye jaa rahi thi. Ye ladka roz uske paas kisi na kisi bahane se aaya karta aur roz apni fizool baato se use entertain karta.

Par kahi na kahi, ab uski fizool baatein hi Sonali ko jaise pasand aane lagi thi. Galti uski nahi thi. Balki, galti kisi ki bhi nahi thi.

Gaav ki ek aam ladki hone ke kaaran, Sonali ke standards ladko ko lekar behad hi low the. Shuru se hi woh apne baap Pushpendra aur uske bete Amit jaiso ko dekhti aayi thi. Jo ek number ke nalle, jaahil, gawaar aur nashedi aadmi the.

Aisi biraadri me rehne ke baad, Sonali ko ladke me bas itna hi chahiye rehta tha ki koi use sukhi rakh sake. Uski qadr kare. Bas!! Yahi the uske standards aur uski maangein.

Veer jaisa ladka uski expectations se bhi kahi zyada tha. Upar se uski khud ki maa, aur bhabhi apni taangein fela ke apne aap ko Veer ke prati samarpit kar chuki thi. Kahi na kahi, Sonali ke antarmann me ye dhaarna thi ki Veer bhala use kyu chaahega?

Uske paas toh ladkiyo ki line lagi hui thi. Magar maajra toh kuch aur hi tha, jo bechari woh nahi jaanti thi. Kisi aur ladke ka aana aur Sonali se iss tarah rubaru hona. Ye Veer ko na jaane kyu magar zara bhi pasand nahi aa raha tha.

Kaushik ke aamantran par usne turant hi naahi jataayi,

Veer : Nahi! Sonali ko kaam hai aur woh kahi nahi jayegi.

Kaushik : Arre ye kya baat hui Sir? Thoda hamare baare me bhi sochiye!

Veer : Nahi! Mene kaha na ki Sonali nahi-

Kintu,

Sonali : Kyu nahi? Kab se mein bhi subah se lage lage thak gayi thi. Pradarshani mujhe bhi dekhni thi. Na jaane kab se nahi dekhi. Isi bahaane thodi kamar bhi seedhi ho jayegi.

Veer : S-Sonali? T-Tum!?

Sonali : Haan! Kya mein nahi thakti? Mujhe bhi ghoomne ka mann karta hai. Aur kaun sa roz roz chhutti leti hu?

Veer : Tum aise kaise-!? Mujhe abhi zaroori kaam se jaana hai. Prachi akele nahi sambhal payegi. Tum iss waqt-

Sonali : Haan haan! Mujhe pata hai! Koi kaam nahi hai tumhara! Ab T.V me aa rahe ho iska matlab ye nahi ki harr waqt vyast ho tum. Ab aaye ho toh sambhalo apna yeh truck. Jaise uss din sambhala tha!?

Kaushik : Arre waah! Hahahaha! Kya baat hai! Dekha na Sir? Sab ki hi iccha hai. Mein toh kehta hu aaj aap chhutti hi dedo. Aa jao sundari- Mera matlab hai Sonali ji! Aaiye chalte hai! Thoda ghoom ke aate hai.

Bechari Sonali ye nahi jaanti thi ki abhi abhi Bhumika ki hotel me musibat aayi hai. Woh iss baat se anjaan thi. Woh nahi jaanti thi ki Veer ko abhi jald hi nikalna tha. Woh toh yahi samjhi ki Veer koi bahana bana raha tha.

Woh Kaushik se bhi parichit thi. Ye pehli baar nahi tha jab woh uske waale truck me baith rahi thi. Jab use hire kiya tha tab bhi woh Kaushik ke sang baith ke use venues ke baare me batayi thi. Kaha food truck lagana hai, kaise kaam karna hai. Toh isme ghabrane waali koi baat hi nahi thi ki woh akeli jaa rahi hai.

Saath hi woh Veer ko tang karne me kaha peeche hatati thi? Ye nirnay lete hi woh mann hi mann thahaake laga rahi thi. Soch rahi thi ki Veer chidhega aur tu-tu main-main karega.

Yahi soch woh truck se nikli aur Kaushik ke truck me chali gayi. Prachi muh khole bas nazara dekhti rahi. Jis train ko woh sahi se chalane ki koshish kar rahi thi woh toh patri se hi utar gayi. Naiyaa dubti hui nazar aa rahi thi use. Woh Veer ko bas hamdardi liye dekhi.

Aur mann me hi sochne lagi,

'Kya kar diya ye aapne Sonali di? Aapne Veer Sir jaise ladke ko haath se jaane diya? Agar mein aapki jagah hoti, toh uss Kaushik chhapri ko ghaas tak nahi daalti. Ye kya kar diya aapne?'

Sonali idhar muskaan liye seat par baithi aur truck chaalu hoke waha se chalne laga.

Magar jaise hi uski nazre Veer par tiki toh woh ghabra uthi. Veer ke chehre par taajub bhare bhaav the.

Woh Sonali ko aise dekh raha tha jaise use pehli baar dekh raha ho. Jaise usne koi aisa kaam kar diya ho jiski Veer ko umeed hi nahi thi. Achanak hi, Sonali ke dil ki dhadkane bechaini ke chalte tezz ho uthi. Par, truck chal chuka tha.

Use ye abhaas hua ki taang kheechne ke chakkar me kahi na kahi shayad usne Veer ko thes pohucha di hai. Ye sab kya ho raha tha?

Veer ke chehre par woh bhaav usne aaj se pehle kabhi nahi dekhe the. Kya uss se koi bhul ho gayi? Kya woh zyada bol gayi?

Sonali : N-Nahi-!!! R-Ruko-!

Par tab tak bohut derr ho chuki thi. Food truck kaafi aage badh chuka tha. Aur Sonali, sheeshe se Veer ke chehre ko dekh paa rahi thi. Na jaane kyu par uske dil me ek ajeeb sa dard utha.

Ab jaise sab kuch galat lag raha tha. Ye pradarshani, ye thakaan, Veer ki taang kheechna, jaise ab sab bhul chuki thi woh. Ab jaise inka koi artha hi nahi reh gaya tha. Kyuki jise sataane ke liye usne ye kiya tha wahi use hataash hue naraazgi me dekh raha tha. Veer ki wahi akhiri chhavi uske mann me bas gayi aur ek vichitr sa dard chhodh gayi.

Truck yaha se Veer ki aankhon se ojhal ho gaya. Sonali ke andar wapas jaane ki himmat bhi nahi aayi aur na hi woh kuch samajh paayi ki ye kya hua abhi abhi. Veer ko uss tarah dekh, uske dil me itna dard kyu uth raha tha?

'Iss se pehle-! Iss se pehle mene use kabhi aise nahi dekha! K-Kahi mein kuch zyada toh nahi bol gayi na? Agar woh bura maan gaya toh-!!!'

Lekin, ab sochne se kya fayda jab chidiya chug gayi khet. Woh ye nahi jaanti thi ki aane waale pal uske liye kaise hone waale the. Uske peeche khada Kaushik apni ghatiya nazro se uske badan ko taadne me laga hua tha. Muh se laar tapakne ki deri thi bas.

'Aaj toh teri seal tod hi dunga Sonali darling!!!'

***

"Ye kya kiya aapne?"

Truck ke jaate hi Veer ke peeche se Prachi ki naraazgi bhari awaaz aayi.

Veer : Kya?

Lag raha tha jaise woh Veer se bhi kahi zyada nirash thi.

Prachi : Aapne unhe jaane diya?

Veer (turns back) : Mene unhe jaane diya?

Veer ke sawaal par Prachi maun reh gayi. Usne jaane nahi diya tha. Balki, woh sabhi khud hi chale gaye the.

Veer chaahta toh ek baar me yaha maujood ek ek ki hekdi nikaal deta. Use bas 'Intimidating Presence' equip karne ki zaroorat thi. Uska aura mehsoos kar ke hi unn sab ki bolti band ho jaati. Lekin, usne aisa na kiya.

Prachi bas saantvna liye use dekhti rahi. Veer ke dil pe kya guzar rahi thi jaise woh jaanti thi.

Woh hairaan tha. Use thes pohuchi thi. Taajub iss baat ka nahi tha ki Sonali Kaushik ke saath gayi. Taajub iss baat ka tha ki Sonali uski baat ka yakeen na kar ke Kaushik ki baat ka yakeen kar chali gayi.

Kitne mahine ho chuke the use aur Sonali ko ek chhat ke neeche rehte hue? Usne apni taraf se kya kami chhodhi thi Sonali ke liye? Dard bas yahi tha ki Sonali ne ek baar bhi uski baat pe vishvaas na kiya. Aur bina poori baat sune nikal gayi. Yahi kaaran tha jo uske chehre par aashcharya tha.

Prachi : A-Ab?

Veer : You stay here! Mujhe kuch kaam hai! Mein aata hu baad me.

Prachi : O-Okay!

Woh aage kuch na keh paayi. Veer turant hi uske hawaale food truck chhodh seedha Hotel Prestige yaani ki Bhumika aur Shweta ki hotel ki orr nikal gaya.

***

Hotel Prestige
Evening ~ 6:08 PM

"Ye sab kya laga rakha hai, haan?"

"Aur nahi toh kya? Hum sab kya bewakoof hai?"

"Arre jab nahi ho paa raha hai toh lena hi nahi chahiye na order. Kaisa management hai aapka?"

"Paisa bhar dikhta hai inhe Bhai sahab. Baaki grahak ki qadr thodi hi hai."

"Sahi kaha!"

"Mein khud aadhe ghante se wait kar raha hu. Family saath me hai. Order le liya hai magar abhi tak table par paani ka jug tak nahi aaya hai. Ab batao!"

"Ye koi dhang thode hi hai. Bhai nahi ho raha aapse toh bata do. Band kar do. Hai na? Aadmi apni dusri jagah jaaye. Usko pehle hi bata do."

"Bilkul! Bilkul!"

"Haan! Samay ki barbadi hai aise me toh-"

"Mein bhi family saath aaya hu. Ab mera order pehle de diya. Aur abhi tak baccho ka order nahi aaya. Ye kya baat hui? Matlab mein unke saamne akele akele khau ab? Aap batao bhai. Family time ka matlab kya hota hai? Aadmi hotel kyu jaata hai?"

"Bilkul! Bilkul! Parivar ke saath khaane ke liye hi toh aata hai. Par ye baat ye kaha samajhte hai-"

"Sahi kaha ji. Darasal, ye aaj kal harr hotel ka bann gaya hai. Jab jab holiday waale din rehte hai ye uss din jaan boojh ke itna rush ghuswa lete hai laalach ke chakkar me. Baad me inse manage hota nahi hai."

Kayi saare log reception area me khade ek dusre se baatein karne me lage hue the aur counter ke uss side khadi Nandini jo ki hotel ki manager thi bas ghabra ke sab kuch dekh rahi thi.

Nandini : Sir! Please! Shaanti banaye rakhiye. Dekhiye! Thodi si problem ho gayi hai. Baat samajhne ki koshish kariye. Aisa kabhi hota nahi hai. Par aaj thodi si dikkat ho gayi hai.

"Arre kya dikkat ho gayi hai?"

"Haan haan! Jab nahi ho paa raha toh pehle batana chahiye."

"Shaam ke samay me ye haal hai, socho raat me kya hoga jab dinner ke liye aur families aayengi."

"Band kar do hotel."

Nandini : P-Please Sir! Try to understand.

Nandini ne kabhi bhi iss tarah ki situation se deal nahi kiya tha. Kyuki aisi naubat kabhi aayi hi nahi thi. Par aaj na jaane kiski nazar lag gayi thi unki hotel ko.

Nandini ne apne sehyogi logo ko dekha aur public ko shaant rakhne ke liye keh ke woh fauran hi andar kitchen ki orr bhaagi.

Andar aate hi woh zorr se boli,

Nandini : Ma'am!! Ma'am baahar situation ab out of control jaa rahi hai. Manage karna ab mushqil ho raha hai. Logo ka gussa badhta jaa raha hai.

Andar Bhumika chintit nazro se use dekhi. Kitchen me saamne saare chefs aur workers apna kaam dhaam chhodh ke ek jhund bana ke khade hue the.

Unn sab ke beech me hotel ka Head Chef apni guroor bhari muskaan liye khada tha. Head Chef woh hota tha jo kitchen me saare chefs ka head hota tha. Wahi baaki chefs ko nirdesh deta tha aur hotel acchi tarah se chal sake, isme uska bohut bada yogdaan hota tha.

Magar, Hotel Prestige ke Head Chef, Narang aaj kisi aur mood me hi tha. Kareeb 40-45 ki umr ka ye aadmi apne saath saath baakiyo ko bhi apne shadiyantra me shaamil kiye baitha tha.

Narang : Mein kahe deta hu! Hamari maange poori karo warna hum sab abhi ke abhi apni naukri chhodh denge.

Bhumika bechain ho uthi. Iske pehle bhi woh do baar uss Narang ki payment badha chuki thi. Iss se zyada woh afford nahi kar sakti thi. Balki, shayad hi koi itni payment deta hoga.

Bhumika : Aapki payment mein pehle hi do baar badha chuki hu. Ye theek nahi hai. Kahi aur jaa ke dekhiye. Koi bhi aapko-

Narang : Hmph! Toh theek hai. Chale jaata hu. Yaha se acchi pagaar milne ka offer wese hi aa chuka hai mujhe.

Bhumika : Huh!??

Narang : Chalo Bhai log!!

Narang ke saath kaafi log the. Magar saare nahi. Kuch the jo abhi bhi apni pagaar se khush the aur hotel ke hit ke liye hi kaam karna chaahte the. Hotel se unka lagaav tha. Par ye log chand hi the.

Bhumika ne jab dekha ki woh log jaa sakte hai toh woh darr gayi. Woh inhe jaane nahi de sakti thi. Agar aisa hua, toh hotel ke profit ke upar bohut bada antar aa sakta tha. Nuksaan hi nuksaan ho sakta tha.

Naye chefs ko dhundhna, unhe laana, fir wapas se kaam samjhana, ye sab na jaane kitna samay le sakta tha. Uske baad taste ka change hona. Harr chef apne dhang se khaana banata hai. Jo yaha pehle se bana rahe hai, unke jaisa agla aadmi nahi bana sakta.

Prestige ki yahi toh pehchaan thi. Uska taste!! Agar chefs badal jayenge, toh woh pehle jaisa taste kaise maintain kar payenge? Signature dishes ka kya hoga jo sirf head chef hi banaaya karta hai?

Inn vichaaro ne Bhumika ko ek chakravyuh me fasa diya. Agar Shweta yaha hoti toh woh ab tak chidh ke Narang ko bhaga chuki hoti. Usme itna tolerance nahi. Magar, Bhumika ke andar tolerance level kahi zyada tha.

Bhumika (frowns) : Ye aap theek nahi kar rahe. Baahar log apne khaane ka wait kar rahe hai. Ye saari baatein aap baad me bhi toh kar sakte the na? Abhi karne ki kya zaroorat thi?

Narang : Iska faisla abhi hi hoga. Baad me taalne wala kaam mera nahi. Kyu bhai log?

"Haan haan!! Faisla abhi hoga."

Bhumika : A-Aap sab-!!! Kya zara bhi pyaar nahi aapko iss hotel se? Itne saalo tak aap sab ne kaam kiya hai. Kya kabhi aapko kisi cheez ki taqleef hone di hai mene ya Mom ne?

Uski iss baat par kuch chefs apna sarr jhuka ke khade ho gaye. Baat satya thi. Aaj tak unhe kabhi bhi kisi bhi cheez ki taqleef nahi hui thi. Pagaar hamesha samay par mil jaaya karti thi. Tyohaaro me unhe bonus bhi milta tha. Kahi se bhi koi taqleef nahi thi.

Fir woh sab kyu apni itni shaleen maalkin ke khilaaf khade ho uthe? Jawaab tha ~ Narang!

Jisne bhadka ke unhe apne side kar liya tha. Thode se behkaave me aane ke baad woh ye tak bhul gaye ki isi hotel se unka ghar chalta tha. Aaj woh usi ko laat maar rahe the. Kahi na kahi unn sab ke andar ek glaani ki bhaavna zaroor jaagi. Magar ab woh itna aage badh chuke the. Ab peeche nahi hatt sakte the.

Narang : Hume bas saaf saaf jawab de do!

Bhumika duwidha me fas gayi. Kya kare woh?

Saath khadi Arohi bhi clueless thi. Kya karti woh bechari.

Arohi : Kaash Veer yaha hota-!!!

Uske muh se ye nikla hi tha ki-

"What's happening here???"

Ek jaani pehchaani awaaz uske kaano me padi.

'Huh???'

Bhumika aur Arohi dono ne mud ke dekha toh paaya ki Veer unke saamne khada hua tha. Woh abhi abhi kitchen me aaya tha. Baahar ke staff ne use andar jaane ke liye kaha tha.

Arohi : Veeeeeer!!!

Woh aage badh unke nazdeek aaya aur Bhumika ne use sab kuch samjha diya. Pehle toh Veer hassa aur uske baad usne Narang ko dekha,

Veer : Toh tumhe jawaab chahiye? Hmm?

Narang ne upar se neeche tak Veer ko dekha. Iss ladke ko usne pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha. Jis tarah se Bhumika aur Arohi uske saath pesh aa rahi thi, Narang ne ek anumaan laga liya ki ye ladka unka koi rishtedar hi tha. Apna guroor wapas se chehre par jhalkaate hue woh bola,

Narang : Hmph! Tum jawaab doge? Kherr! Jo bhi de, mujhe farq nahi padta. Bas, haan ya naa me bata do. Payment hamari badha rahe ho ya nahi?

Veer (smiles) : Theek hai! Toh mein deta hu tumhe jawaab!

Narang : Hmm!

Veer : GET LOST!

Narang : Huh???

Bhumika : Ahhh??? V-Veeer???

Narang ko jaise apne kaano par yakeen nahi hua. Bhumika ka bhi yahi haal tha. Woh iss waqt kaise bhi kar ke unhe rokna chaahti thi. Baahar sabhi khaane ka wait kar rahe the. Aise me ye kaisa nirnay tha ki Narang ko bhaga diya jaaye?

Narang : K-Kya kaha tumne?

Veer : Mene kaha, dafa ho jao!

Narang : Haah! Haha! Hahahahahaha!

Bhumika : Veer! Tum-!?

Narang : Mujhe toh laga tha thodi bohut aqal se kaam loge. Par- Hahahahaha!!!

Veer (smiles) : Aqal se hi kaam liya hai. Aur ye aqal pehle hi dikha deni chaahiye thi.

Narang : *frowns*

Veer : How much you pay him monthly?

Bhumika : Th-That's-!!! 60,000!!!

Veer (baffled) : 60 hazaar rupaye?? Aur pehle kitna pay karti thi?

Bhumika : 45,000!

Veer : 15,000 rupaye ka izaafa!! Mujhe nahi lagta ki aas paas ke kisi bhi hotel me kisi Head Chef ki itni payment hogi.

Narang : Ladke!! Tujhe pata hi kya hai? Hmph!!! Baahar jaake dekh zara. Casa Belle waale toh mujhe khushi khushi le lenge.

Bhumika : N-Nahi!!!

Bhumika ka darr jayaz tha.

Casa Belle!!!




Haal hi me khuli ek nayi hotel jo unke hotel ke paas hi thi. Ek 5 star hotel. Bhumika ka sapna tha ki woh apni iss hotel ko 5 star hotel me tabdeel kare. Duniya ki ekdum premium hotels me uski hotel ka naam jaana jaaye. Aur isi sapne ke liye woh jee tod mehnat kiya karti thi.

Lekin, Casa Belle ke aane ke baad se hi hotel ke liye mushqile badh rahi thi. Zyada crowd abhi bhi Prestige ke paas hi tha. Magar, kya hoga agar Narang jaise chefs uske paas se chale jaaye aur jaa ke Casa Belle me kaam karne lage?

Hotel toh band hone ki kagaar pe aa jayega.

Veer bas muskuraya. Aur woh khushi khushi bola,

Veer : Darwaze khule hai! Jaa sakte ho!

Narang : T-Tum-!!!

Bhumika : Veer! Nahi! Hum aisa nahi kar sakte. Jald se jald inn sab ko rokna hoga. Baahar shor badhta jaa raha hai. Th-Theek hai mein payment badhaane ke liye-

Veer : Hargiz nahi! Ek rupaya bhi badhaya nahi jayega. Payment aapke kaam ke hisaab se ekdum sahi hai. Balki, zyada hi hai. 50,000 is a very good amount for a head chef. Not to mention ki tum kisi 5 star hotel ke chef nahi ho. Aur na hi abhi hamari hotel ek fully 5 star hotel me tabdeel hui hai.

Narang : Toh theek hai-!!! Bhaad me jao tum! Madam ji! Ab sambhal lena aap. Baad me mere paas gidgidate hue mat aana.

Bhumika : V-Veeeeer!!! Ye kya kiya tumne? P-Please! Hum unhe jaane nahi de sakte.

Narang : Hmph! Chalo Bhai log!

Usne kaha, magar pehle ke muqaable ab sirf aadhe hi log Narang ke saath aaye. Baaki aadhe peeche hoke khade ho gaye. Veer ki baato ne jaise unhe abhaas dilaya tha ki unhe jo mil raha tha woh pehle se kahi zyada tha.

Narang : Hmm? Tum sab!!! Yahi rehne ka irada hai kya? Bhulo nahi ki aise mauke baar baar nahi aate. Pagaar badhaane ka iss se accha mauka nahi milega. Ye ghatiya hotel chhodho aur chalo mere saath. Mein tum sab ko 20% zyada pagaar dilwaunga pehle ke muqaable.

Chef 1 : 20% zyada?

Narang : Haan! Chalo ab! Narang ki zubaan hai.

Chef 1 : L-Lekin-!! Nahi! Nahi hum yahi theek hai.

Narang : Tum!!! Mene kaha chalo mere saath.

Uska haath jabran thaam Narang ne jab use ghaseetna chaaha toh ek mazboot haath ne uski kalaayi ko jakad liya.

Veer : Woh kahi nahi jayega!

Narang : Ladke-!!! Haath chhodh!! Woh toh madam ke yaha itne saal kaam kiya hai isliye haath nahi uthaya tujh par. Tu hota kaun hai mujhe rokne waala? Madam ke naate mein kuch kar nahi raha warna-

Veer : Warna!? Shukr manao ki unhi madam ke chalte tum ab tak sahi salamat ho. Itne saal kaam kiya hai isliye zyada kuch kiya nahi mene warna-

Narang : Hoshiyar samajhta hai apne aap ko? Saale teri toh-

*Swish*

Wahi par rakha ek bada sa chamcha utha ke Narang ne Veer ke sarr pe chalaya par woh late tha. Ya yu kahe ki Veer uss se hazaro guna tezz tha.

Agle hi shan Narang ke haath se woh chamcha gaayab hua,

LIMBO!!!

*Crack*

*Swoosh*

Narang ko uske peeche se shirt pakad ke Veer ne uska sarr turant hi-

*Plop*

Paani se bhare ganj me de maara.

*Blurgh!!* *Gulp* *glrggh*

Bhumika : Nooooo!!! You both-!!!! Stop it Please!!!

Paani se uske chehre ko nikaal Veer use darwaze ki orr laaya aur-

*BAMMMMMM*

Darwaza zorr se khula aur ek udta hua insaan kuch feet dur jaa ke gira.

Baahar baithi tamaam janta ekdum se shaant ho gayi. Jo shikaayte woh pehle kar rahe the. Maar dhaad dekh sabke sab ekdum se dubak ke baith gaye.

Narang : L-Ladkeeee-!!! Madar-

*Bammmmmmm*

"Ugggghhh!!!"

Veer ne use pakda aur use aise le gaya jaise maano woh kooda fekne jaa raha tha.

Veer : Security!!!

Guard 1 : H-Haan!

Veer : Aaj se ye chef nahi hai. Hamari hotel me kaam toh kya, shaqal bhi nahi dikhni chahiye iski.

[What a strong performance. That's what I like about you~ A strong boy... needs a strong 'Mommy'! Doesn't he?]

'Shut up!'

[Fufufu~ Sooner or later! You'll be mine! ♡]

Narang ke saath jitne bhi the, woh Veer ko ladta dekh ke hi sehem gaye.

Veer : Aur tum sab!? Jaana nahi hai?

"N-Nahi Sir! H-Hum kaam karne taiyaar hai. Hum-"

Veer : Out!!!

"???"

Veer : Iss se pehle ki yahi haal tum sab ka hoye. Mere bina kahe hi nikal jao!

Na chaahte hue bhi unn sabhi ko waha se nikalna pada. Unhone apne hi perr par kulhadi maar li thi. Acchi bhali naukri haath se gawa di.

Ab woh sab Narang ke hi bharose the. Idhar Bhumika ki jaan jaise halak me aa gayi. Veer ne sabke saamne hi Head Chef ko nikaal diya? Ab kya hoga?

Bhumika : Khatam! Sab khatam! Veer! Kyu kiya aisa??? Ab k-kaise-!?

Arohi : Trust him!

Bhumika : Huh?

Arohi : He must have thought of something.

Bhumika : Wh-What?

Narang aur uski toli ko bhagaane ke baad Veer apne customers ke saamne aaya aur usne apni baat rakhi,

Veer : Jo kuch bhi hua. Uss sab ke liye mein aapse maafi maangta hu. Darasal, hamare Head Chef ki zyaadti badh gayi thi. Aur unhe ayeena dikhana zaroori tha. Mujhe aap sab 10 minute dijiye. 10 minute ke andar andar orders lagne shuru ho jayenge. Mein waada karta hu, aisa swaad aapne kahi nahi chakha hoga.

Uske bolte hi aapsi me logo ki khusur pusur chaalu ho gayi.

"Theek hai lao Bhai! Ab itna late toh ho hi gaya hai."

"H-Haan! 10 minute dekh sakte hai."

Manzoori milne ke baad Veer muskuraate hue kitchen me gaya. Peeche peeche Bhumika aur Arohi bhi thi. Nandini wahi baahar reh ke logo ko sambhaale rahi.

Aur idhar andar aate hi,

*Ding*

[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]

Veer : Tum sab!!! Apna apna naam batao! Jaldi!

Bache hue chefs se jaise hi Veer ne buland awaaz me pucha sab uske aage sehem gaye. Andar se hi ek respect waali bhaavna na jaane kyu jaagrit hone lagi.

Apna apna naam unn sabhi ne bataya. Bhumika ko chinta khaaye jaa rahi thi.

Bhumika : Veer ab kya hoga? Hum kaise manage karenge? Ye nahi hona chahiye tha.

Veer : Bhumika dii!

Bhumika : ???

Veer (smiles) : Woh Narang pehle se hi naukri chhodhne ke chakkar me tha.

Bhumika : Wh-What??

Veer : Kya aapne gaur nahi kiya? Kyu woh baar baar Casa Belle hotel ka zikr kar raha tha?

Bhumika : Woh-

Veer (smiles) : Casa Belle waale logo ne pehle se hi use ghoos de di hai shayad. Narang toh bas bahana dhoondh raha tha yaha se nikalne ka.

Bhumika : Ahh!!?

Veer : Isliye woh aisi betuki farmayish rakh raha tha. Use laga tha ki aap use naukri se nikaal dogi. Aur uska kaam bann jayega.

Bhumika : Y-Ye!?

Veer (smiles) : But you were persistent. Aap use jaane nahi de rahi thi. Uske liye aur mushqil ho raha tha. And that's why he opted for violence.

Bhumika : Ahhhnn! Y-Ye baat thi!?

Veer : I fulfilled his wish. Ab shayad hi woh kabhi accha khaana bana paaye. *smiles*

Bhumika : Hmm?

Veer (smiles) : Looks like we've got a new competition in the market. Anyways! Aap sab kuch mujh par chhodh dijiye.

Bhumika : B-But how-!?

Veer (screams) : CHEFS!!!!

"Y-Yesss sirrr!!!"

Veer ne apni shirt utaar apni kamar par baandhi. Haath dhoye aur woh taiyaar tha.

Veer : Get ready!!! Bhumika dii! Arohi dii! Order numbers dijiye. Pehle woh bataiye jaha orders adhura pohucha hai. Uske baad woh orders jaha bohut derr se khaana nahi pohucha. And lastly newest ones.

Bhumika : G-Got it!!

Arohi : Veer! Table number 7!!! Umm! 1 Dal fry, 1 Veg pulav, and 1 butter paneer masala!!

Veer : Got it!!!

Uske haath itni raftaar se chal rahe the ki baaki chefs apni aankhein faade dekhte reh gaye. Kahi koi choonk nahi, sab kuch perfection se ho raha tha.

Bhumika ne jab uski speed dekhi toh uska muh khula ka khula reh gaya. Speed hona koi bohut badi baat nahi thi.

Par full accuracy ke saath speed hona, ye bilkul naamumkin jaisa tha. Kahi koi cheez gir nahi rahi thi. Tel ki maatra, pan ko saute karne ka dhang, ingredients ki maatra sab kuch jaise ekdum perfectly daala jaa raha tha.

Veer : Vijayyy!!!

Vijay : Y-Yes Chef!?

Veer : Tomato soup!!! Table number 9 ke liye. Abhi!!!

Vijay : Y-Yes Chef!!!

Veer : Toasted bread piece daalna mat bhulna!!

Vijay : Y-Yes!!

Veer : Coriander ki garnishing!!!

Vijay (shouts) : Yessssss Chef!!!

Veer : Rohitttt!!!!

Rohit : H-Haan??

Veer : Same table!!! Dry Manchurian!!

Rohit : Y-Yess Chef!!!

*Clang* *Schling*

Bartano ki khat-pat awaazo ke saath aur chaaku chhuriya ki dhaar ke sang Veer ne kitchen me ek alag hi aura bhar diya.

Baaki chefs Veer ki skills dekh, uss se order lete hue itne motivate ho gaye ki woh harsho-ullas ke saath khaana banaane me jutt gaye. Asli swaad tabhi aata hai jab ek chef dil se khushi khushi uss khaane ko banaaye. Aaj wahi ho raha tha.

Bhumika ne aisa drishya pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha. Veer ko kaam karta dekh, uski dhadkane tezz ho uthi. Sach kehte hai. Ek mard sabse zyada attractive tab hi lagta hai jab woh apne kaam me leen ho.

Woh yaha uss Narang ki payment badhaane ke chakkar me thi. Aur yaha Veer ne ek jhalak me uske shadiyantra ko pakad liya tha.

Bhumika : I have so much yet to learn...! M-Mein use samajh nahi saki theek se.

Arohi (smiles) : That's okay! As long as you keep faith in him!

Bhumika (smiles) : I see now! Thank you! Arohi!

Arohi (smiles) : Mmm~

Baahar jaise jaise dishes aati gayi, logo ke mann se woh doubt khatam ho gaya. Jaise jaise unhone khaane ka swaad chakha sab ke sab chakit reh gaye. Baat sahi thi. Aaj tak unn sabhi ne iss tarah ka swaad nahi chakha tha. Dishes toh same hi thi. Lekin, ek naya zaayka tha usme. Kuch extra tha. Jo woh bata nahi paa rahe the.

Akhir kaar ye silsila khatam hua. Raat ke 10:30 baj rahe the. Rush samaapt ho chuka tha. Veer ne aaj se pehle kabhi itna khaana nahi banaaya tha.

Garmi ke chalte woh poora paseene se lath-path tha. Hotel ke baahar closed ka sign lag chuka tha.

Dining area me hi woh ek kursi par AC ke neeche baith gaya.

Uske bagal se Arohi thi toh wahi dusri orr Bhumika.

Arohi ne ek towel lete hue uska paseena pochha.

Veer (smiles) : Thank you!

Arohi : Thank you!

Veer : Hmm?

Arohi : For working this hard!

Bhumika ne achanak se uski baah ko apne haatho ke ird gird liya.

Veer : ???

Bhumika : Veer! Aaj sab ne khaane ki itni zyaada tareef ki hai ki mein tumhe bata nahi sakti. Aisa pehle kabhi nahi hua.

Veer : Haha!

Bhumika : No doubt woh Narang accha khana banaata tha. Lekin, kabhi bhi public aise react nahi karti thi. Jo kuch bhi tamasha aaj hua, uss se public darr bhi gayi thi. Isliye mene unhe Sunday ka special offer ka coupon bhi diya hai. Umeed hai ye swaad chakhne ke baad woh zaroor ayenge.

Veer : Of course!

Bhumika (frowns) : L-Lekin-! Ye toh sirf aaj ke liye tha. Aaj tumne madad kar di. Aage kya hoga?

Veer : Don't worry! Aapke liye mene naya head chef bhi dhoondh liya hai.

Bhumika : Kya??? Kaun hai woh?

Veer (smiles) : You'll know soon!

Woh aankhein band thodi derr khud ko durust karne laga jab,

*Puch*

'Huh?'

Do narm honth uske gaal par lag gaye. Bhumika ne sharmaate hue uske gaal ko chooma.

Bhumika (blushes) : Th-Thank you so much!!!

Veer : Ahem! D-Don't mention it!

***

Yaha toh sab nipat chuka tha. Magar inn beete ghante Sonali kaha thi?

Food truck se nikalne ke baad woh Kaushik ke sang pradarshani dekhne gayi thi. Khayaal toh use Veer ka hi aa raha tha.

Kintu, Kaushik ki lagataar baato ko sunn aur pradarshani me mauj masti kar uska dhyaan Veer par se thoda hatt gaya.

Derr raat ho rahi thi. Usne aaj khoob enjoy kiya tha. Ab lautne ka samay tha.

Kaushik ka dost bhi jaa chuka tha. Ab woh khud hi gaadi chala raha tha.

Kaushik : Kya iss nacheez ke saath sundari jii ko thoda bohut bhi accha laga?

Sonali : Hahaha! Tumhari baatein betuki hai. Aur mujh par line maarna band kar do.

Kaushik : Uui maa! Pakda gaya kya mein?

Sonali : Kab ke!!! Chalo! Aur mujhe jaldi se wapas se truck par chhodh do. Prachi ab aur late nahi ruk payegi.

Kaushik : Bilkul! Bilkul!

Sonali ko raaste pata nahi the. Magar kuch na kuch mod yaad zaroor the.

Jab Kaushik ne truck dusri disha me moda toh uski bauhe kass uthi.

Sonali : Arre? Y-Ye raasta nahi hai. Woh waala mod tha.

Kaushik : Jaane dijiye na! Aaj yaha se chalte hai. Kaafi saari khubsoorat jagaahe hai yaha pe. Aapko dikhata hu.

Sonali : N-Nahi! Raat bohut ho gayi hai. Aur mujhe ab jaana hai.

Kaushik : Maaniye toh baat-!!

Sonali : Mene kaha na-!!! Ye-! Ye kya kar rahe ho tum??

Kaushik : Nahi!! A-Aaj aapko meri baat maanami padegi.

Woh uski orr mudte hue bola. Uski muskaan me iss baar hawas ke iraade jhalak rahe the.

Sonali : !!???

Mega Update

Update - 154 ~ The Prestige's Ordeal​

Ab tak...

Kintu, samasya kabhi na aaye aisa kaise ho sakta tha. Jaha abhi sab kuch accha chal raha tha ki itne me hi Bhumika ko ek call aaya. Usne call receive kar jab baat suni toh uski aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Phone cut karte hi woh Veer ko dekhi,

Bhumika : Veer!! Ek problem ho gayi hai.

Magar woh akeli nahi thi. Truck se Prachi daudte hue aayi aur jaldbazi me boli,

Prachi : Ek nahi-! Do problem hai!!

Veer : Huh!!???

Ab aage...

Kehte hai ki bhagwan jab deta hai toh chhappar faad ke deta hai. Magar, kayi baar aisa bhi hota hai ki ek musibat ki jagah kaho anek musibatein saath me hi aa jaaye.

Veer iss samay isi duwidha me tha. Ek taraf woh Bhumika ko dekh raha tha jo chinta me uske saamne khadi thi toh wahi dusri taraf Prachi ko jo food truck se nikal ke jaldbaazi me aayi thi.

Samasyao ne darwaza khat-khata diya tha. Akhir, chal kya raha tha yaha? Veer ne pehle Bhumika se hi puchna sahi samjha.

Veer : Pehle aap bataiye! Kya hua hai?

Bhumika (frowns) : Veer! Ek bohut badi problem ho gayi hai.

Veer : Hotel me kuch-!?

Bhumika (nods) : Haan!

Veer : Kya dikkat hai?

Bhumika : Woh- Woh Head Chef-!!!

Veer : Head Chef?

Bhumika : Hmm! He's very troublesome to deal with. Pehle bhi woh kayi baar aisa kar chuka hai.

Veer : Kya kiya hai usne?

Bhumika : Baaki chefs ko bhadkana. Pay increase karne ke liye. Mein pehle hi 2 baar payment badha chuki hu. Magar-!! Oh no! Firse call aa raha hai. Veer! Mujhe jaana hoga!

Veer (nods) : Ek kaam kariye. Aap pohuchiye, mein aapke peeche peeche aata hu.

Bhumika : Alright!

Bhumika jaldbaazi me daudte hue waha se apni car ki orr nikli. Par, aisi sthiti me uska akela jaana theek nahi tha. Isliye,

Veer : Arohi dii?

Arohi (nods) : Mmm~ I got it!

Woh toh jaise bina kuch kahe hi samajh gayi. Bina Veer ko jawaab diye woh waha se tezz qadmo ke saath Bhumika ke peeche peeche chal di. Aur idhar Veer ke hontho par ek halki si muskaan saj gayi. Woh fir Prachi ki orr muda,

Veer : Ab tum batao! Kya hua hai?

Prachi : W-Woh-!

Veer : Ghabrane ki zaroorat nahi. Khul ke batao!

Prachi : Okay! Actually, baat ye hai ki- Ab aap toh jaante ho ki aapke kitne food trucks hai. Magar, aap harr ek ko daily dekhne nahi aa sakte. Right?

Veer : Mmm-hmm!

Prachi : Toh aaye din workers badalte rehte hai. Koi jaata hai toh koi naya aa jaata hai.

Veer : So?

Prachi : So, hua ye hai ki- Sir! Kaushik naam ka ek ladka hai.

Veer : Kaushik?

Prachi (nods) : Hmm! Woh morning waala breakfast ka jo ek aur food truck hai usme rehta hai. Uske saath ek aur ladka hai. Uske saath wala ladka accha hai lekin ye Kaushik-

Veer : Kuch kiya hai kya?

Prachi : N-Nahi!

Veer : Toh?

Prachi : Ab ho sakta hai mein zyada soch rahi hu. P-Par Sonali di jo hai-

Veer : Sonali ka kya?

Prachi : Sir, woh Kaushik aaj kal har roz shaam ko yaha aata hai aur fir Sonali di se meethi meethi baatein karta hai.

Veer : Hmm?

Prachi : Aur Sonali di use bas daant deti hai magar- Mujhe lagta hai jaise Kaushik ki baatein unhe pasand bhi aati hai.

Veer : I see! So, what's the problem?

Prachi : Problem ye hai ki- Mujhe lagta hai ki woh Kaushik kuch theek nahi hai.

Veer : Aisa kyu bhala? Agar woh theek nahi tha toh use hire kisne kiya?

Prachi : Sonali di ne hi. Uske kaam me koi dikkat nahi hai Sir.

Veer : Fir kya dikkat hai? Behaviour?

Prachi : Haan! Ho sakta hai mein kuch zyada overthink kar rahi hu. Mujhe jo laga woh mene aapko bata diya. Mujhe woh ladka theek nahi lagta.

Veer : Theek nahi lagta as in? Kya kuch gadbad kar raha hai? Ya kar sakta hai?

Prachi : Actually-

Veer : Prachi! Tumhe hich-kichane ki zaroorat nahi. Owner mein hu. Tum kaho! Tumhara koi kuch nahi ukhaad sakta. Just say!

Prachi : O-Okay! Shayad Kaushik-

Veer : Hmm?

Prachi : Sonali di ko paana chaahta hai.

Veer : Kya Sonali ko Kaushik pasand hai?

Prachi : Shayad haan! Like woh daant lagati hai use. Seedhe muh baat nahi karti par mene unko uski baato par muskuraate dekha hai.

Prachi ki baat par Veer ko thodi hairani hui. Sonali kisi ladke ki baato par muskura rahi thi?

Use Suman ko kahi gayi apni hi baat yaad aa gayi~

'Agar woh kisi aur ko chaahegi, toh mein use jaane dunga!'

Veer ko yaad hai ki usne isi kaaran kabhi Sonali ko Suman aur Aabha ki tarah apna slave nahi maana tha. Kyuki, ho sakta tha ki Sonali use apne maalik ke roop me sweekaar na kare. Ho sakta tha ki use koi aur ladka pasand aa jaaye.

Shayad aaj woh din aa chuka tha. Veer ne ek gehri saans li.

Veer : Agar use pasand hai. Toh kya dikkat hai?

Veer ko kehte hue pata nahi kyu accha nahi lag raha tha lekin fir bhi usne keh diya. Prachi ne jab ye suna toh woh hairat me use ghoor ke dekhi.

Prachi : A-Aap ko parvaah nahi?

Veer : Hmm? Isme parvaah kaisi? Sonali ko agar koi pasand hai toh acchi baat hai na woh toh-!?

Prachi : Eh? I-I thought-!!

Bechari Prachi duwidha me fas ke reh gayi. Use laga tha ki Veer aur Sonali ke beech kuch chal raha tha isliye woh bhaagi bhaagi daud ke ye baat use bataane aayi thi. Par yaha toh aisa prateet ho raha tha jaise Veer aur Sonali ke beech kuch tha hi nahi.

Woh toh ye soch ke aayi thi ki woh unn dono ke pyaar ko bacha legi. Par-

Veer : Sonali samajhdar hai. In case kuch gadbad tumhe lagti hai toh mujhe call kar dena.

Prachi : Mene aapko abhi toh bataya. Woh ladka theek nahi hai.

Veer : Hmm! Mene sunn liya hai Prachi. Par tumhare paas abhi kuch proof bhi nahi hai. Isliye keh raha hu, kuch gadbad lage toh mujhe call kar dena. You have my number, right?

Prachi : H-Haan!

Veer : I'll leave then!

Prachi : B-But-!!

Veer uski baat sune bagerr hi food truck ki orr chal diya. Andar Sonali dishes banaane me lagi hui thi.

Toh wahi road ke uss paar ek aur food truck khada hua tha. Jisme Kaushik aur ek aur worker maujood the.

Kaushik Sonali ko dekh apne lund ko masalne me laga hua tha. Aur uska saath driving seat par baitha tha.

Worker : Dekh! Mein abhi bhi keh raha hu. Woh teri pohuch ke baahar ki ladki hai. Upar se owner ki koi rishtedar lagti hai mujhe toh. Tujhse nahi patne waali.

Kaushik : Abe, tu jaanta hi kya hai ladkiyo ke baare me. Dekhta jaa bas tu. Gaav ki chhori hai. Chaahta toh mein uss Prachi ko set kar sakta tha. Magar, woh yahi Mumbai ki hai. Uss saali ko mere upar kuch shaq sa hai.

Worker : Woh ladki samajhdar hai!

Kaushik : Lekin, ye Sonali gaav se hai. Ise sheher ka utna gyaan nahi. Ise set karna asaan hai. Saali ko chodne me kya maza aayega. Lita lita ke chodunga.

Worker : Mein abhi bhi keh raha hu. Uss se dur hi reh.

Kaushik : Kya jhandu aadmi hai bey tu? Kabhi choot maari hai?

Worker : Nahi!

Kaushik : Bas yahi toh dikkat hai tumhari. Abe jaise ek nashedi insaan bina nashe ke reh nahi sakta na? Wese hi ye lund hai. Ek baar ye choot ka swaad chakh le na toh bina choot maare nahi rehta.

Worker : Choot ke chakkar me lene ke dene bhi pad jaate hai. Aur isliye, mein apne kaam se hi matlab rakhta hu.

Kaushik : Haan toh tu wahi kar. Mere kaam me taang mat ada. Mere lund ko choot ki zaroorat hai. Agar ye set ho gayi, toh fir kehne hi kya. Naukri bhi karte raho, free ki choot bhi maarte jao. Hahahaha! Pagaar ki pagaar. Upar se food truck ke maalik ki sambandhi hai woh. Sab set hai.

Worker (sighs) : Tu jaane aur tera kaam jaane.

Kaushik apne saathi ki baato ko ek kaan se sunn dusre kaan se nikal diya. Tabhi, uski nazar Veer par padi jo Sonali ke food truck me jaa raha tha.

Kaushik : Iski maa ka- Jaldi, gaadi waha laga.

Worker : Kyu? Kya hua?

Kaushik : Abe yahi owner hai na?

Worker (squints) : H-Haan shayad-! Haan yahi hai. Veer Sir!

Kaushik : Haan toh gaadi laga waha. Turant!

Worker : Haan haan!

Kaushik ke saathi ne food truck chaalu kar aage badhaya aur U-turn lete hue woh road ke iss side par aa gaya jaha Sonali ka food truck maujood tha.

Jab tak ye log yaha aa rahe the tab tak Veer aur Sonali ke beech alag vartalaap chal raha tha.

Veer : Sab theek toh chal raha hai na?

Sonali : Hmm? Aaj tumhe itna parvaah kaise hone lagi? Aise toh kabhi jhaakne nahi aate.

Veer : Kya mein puch nahi sakta?

Sonali : Puch sakte ho! Bilkul puch sakte ho. Sab kuch tumhara hi toh hai. Jo chaahe karo! Bhala mein kaun hoti hu-?

Veer (sighs) : Mera matlab ye hai ki kahi koi gadbad toh nahi hai. Koi dikkat toh nahi hai na? Sab theek hai?

Sonali ne do pal ke liye use dekha fir muh fula ke mudte hue boli,

Sonali : Hmm! Sab theek hai!

Veer (nods) : Alright! Agar koi- Agar koi problem ho toh mujhse share kar sakti ho. Okay?

Sonali (confused) : Tumhari tabiyat toh theek hai na?

Veer : I-!! Leave it! Apna dhyaan rakhna. Aur, apne aas paas ke logo ka bhi.

Sonali : Huhh!? Kya matlab? Aaj subah subah kahi sarr bhidwa ke aaye ho kya? Kaisi behki behki baatein kar rahe ho?

Veer kuch keh paata ki itne me Kaushik apne saathi ke sang truck leke haazir tha.

Window se nikal ke hi woh haath hilaate hue chillaaya,

Kaushik : Arre! Haha! Sir! Aaj mile ho aap! Warna kabhi darshan hi nahi hue aap ke toh batao.

Uske aate hi,

'Check!'

Veer ne usko poori tarah se scan kar liya. Kahi koi gadbad nazar nahi aayi. Kaushik ek aam ladka hi tha. Thoda awara-gardi karne waala tha magar kaam uska theek tha. Koi chor, gunda, mawali nahi tha woh. Jab Veer ne ye dekha ki kahi kuch gadbad nahi hai. Toh usne ek raahat ki saans li.

Kya iska matlab Prachi bewajah hi chintit ho rahi thi?

Prachi, jo theek unke saath khadi hui thi woh Kaushik ko aata dekh ke hi tension me aa gayi.

Veer ne idhar Kaushik ke aate hi uski baat ka jawaab diya,

Veer : Ohh! Naye ho?

Kaushik : Ji Sir!

Veer : Kya naam?

Kaushik : Ji Kaushik!

Veer : Alright! Acche se kaam karna.

Kaushik : Aap fiqr mat karo Sir! Mein apna kaam poori lagan se karta hu. Lekin, aaj aap se ek permission lena chaahta hu. Umeed hai aap mana nahi karoge.

Veer : Kaisi permission?

Kaushik : Woh kya hai na, kuch dino pehle pradarshani lagi hai yahi paas me. Mujhe jaana tha zara.

Veer (nods) : Theek hai! Tum jaldi jaa sakte ho.

Kaushik : Na na na na! S-Sirf mein nahi!

Veer : Toh?

Kaushik : Ahem! Woh kya hai na! Ab akela mein kya karunga Sir waha. Saath me koi hona chahiye na? Sundar si pradarshani ko dekhne ke liye ek sundari bhi toh honi chahiye na saath me? Hai na?

Veer : Bilkul!

Veer ne keh toh diya magar uske chehre par koi bhaav nahi the. Woh Kaushik ko aise dekh raha tha jaise kisi namoone ko dekh raha ho.

[Oh my~ Look at this worthless ant! A toad wishing to eat swan meat.]

Pari ke muh se bhi Kaushik ke liye beizzati hi nikli. Do kaudi ka ladka uske Master se hi unki hi bandi ko ghumaane ki permission maang raha tha. What a joke!

Magar-

Sonali ne jab Kaushik ki baatein suni, toh woh hass padi.

'Hmm?'

[Oh! Lagta hai~ Tumne apna swaad ise nahi chakhaya. What a mistake you have made my baby~ Isliye kehti hu. Forget all this. Come to me! Surrender to me! Call me 'Mommy' and I will make you the most powerful man in this world.]

'Please stop!!!'

Veer Pari se baat karne ke mood me nahi tha abhi. Sonali ne Kaushik ki baat sunn Veer ko dekha jaise maano woh dekhna chaah rahi ho ki Veer kaise react karta hai.

Veer (sighs) : No! This is work time. Tum khud jaana chaahte ho, koi manahi nahi hai. Jaa sakte ho. Par, staff me se kisi aur ko apne sang le jaana? Ye mein allow nahi kar sakta. Shaam hone waali hai aur ab rush hours rahenge. So, it's a strict 'NO' from my side.

Veer ka jawaab sunte hi jaise Kaushik ke muh pe 12 baj gaye. Kintu, usne aisa dikhaya nahi. Farzi muskan liye woh hassa aur punah bola,

Kaushik : Hahahaha! Arre kya Sir? Subah se din tak itna toh kaam kiya hai humne. Aur mein jaanta hu, sundari ka bhi ghoomne ka mann hoga. Ahem! Mera matlab hai Sonali ji ka! *winks*

Kaushik Sonali ko hi sundari keh ke itni derr se sambodhit kar raha tha. Jiske chalte, Sonali bas nazre ferr muskuraaye jaa rahi thi. Ye ladka roz uske paas kisi na kisi bahane se aaya karta aur roz apni fizool baato se use entertain karta.

Par kahi na kahi, ab uski fizool baatein hi Sonali ko jaise pasand aane lagi thi. Galti uski nahi thi. Balki, galti kisi ki bhi nahi thi.

Gaav ki ek aam ladki hone ke kaaran, Sonali ke standards ladko ko lekar behad hi low the. Shuru se hi woh apne baap Pushpendra aur uske bete Amit jaiso ko dekhti aayi thi. Jo ek number ke nalle, jaahil, gawaar aur nashedi aadmi the.

Aisi biraadri me rehne ke baad, Sonali ko ladke me bas itna hi chahiye rehta tha ki koi use sukhi rakh sake. Uski qadr kare. Bas!! Yahi the uske standards aur uski maangein.

Veer jaisa ladka uski expectations se bhi kahi zyada tha. Upar se uski khud ki maa, aur bhabhi apni taangein fela ke apne aap ko Veer ke prati samarpit kar chuki thi. Kahi na kahi, Sonali ke antarmann me ye dhaarna thi ki Veer bhala use kyu chaahega?

Uske paas toh ladkiyo ki line lagi hui thi. Magar maajra toh kuch aur hi tha, jo bechari woh nahi jaanti thi. Kisi aur ladke ka aana aur Sonali se iss tarah rubaru hona. Ye Veer ko na jaane kyu magar zara bhi pasand nahi aa raha tha.

Kaushik ke aamantran par usne turant hi naahi jataayi,

Veer : Nahi! Sonali ko kaam hai aur woh kahi nahi jayegi.

Kaushik : Arre ye kya baat hui Sir? Thoda hamare baare me bhi sochiye!

Veer : Nahi! Mene kaha na ki Sonali nahi-

Kintu,

Sonali : Kyu nahi? Kab se mein bhi subah se lage lage thak gayi thi. Pradarshani mujhe bhi dekhni thi. Na jaane kab se nahi dekhi. Isi bahaane thodi kamar bhi seedhi ho jayegi.

Veer : S-Sonali? T-Tum!?

Sonali : Haan! Kya mein nahi thakti? Mujhe bhi ghoomne ka mann karta hai. Aur kaun sa roz roz chhutti leti hu?

Veer : Tum aise kaise-!? Mujhe abhi zaroori kaam se jaana hai. Prachi akele nahi sambhal payegi. Tum iss waqt-

Sonali : Haan haan! Mujhe pata hai! Koi kaam nahi hai tumhara! Ab T.V me aa rahe ho iska matlab ye nahi ki harr waqt vyast ho tum. Ab aaye ho toh sambhalo apna yeh truck. Jaise uss din sambhala tha!?

Kaushik : Arre waah! Hahahaha! Kya baat hai! Dekha na Sir? Sab ki hi iccha hai. Mein toh kehta hu aaj aap chhutti hi dedo. Aa jao sundari- Mera matlab hai Sonali ji! Aaiye chalte hai! Thoda ghoom ke aate hai.

Bechari Sonali ye nahi jaanti thi ki abhi abhi Bhumika ki hotel me musibat aayi hai. Woh iss baat se anjaan thi. Woh nahi jaanti thi ki Veer ko abhi jald hi nikalna tha. Woh toh yahi samjhi ki Veer koi bahana bana raha tha.

Woh Kaushik se bhi parichit thi. Ye pehli baar nahi tha jab woh uske waale truck me baith rahi thi. Jab use hire kiya tha tab bhi woh Kaushik ke sang baith ke use venues ke baare me batayi thi. Kaha food truck lagana hai, kaise kaam karna hai. Toh isme ghabrane waali koi baat hi nahi thi ki woh akeli jaa rahi hai.

Saath hi woh Veer ko tang karne me kaha peeche hatati thi? Ye nirnay lete hi woh mann hi mann thahaake laga rahi thi. Soch rahi thi ki Veer chidhega aur tu-tu main-main karega.

Yahi soch woh truck se nikli aur Kaushik ke truck me chali gayi. Prachi muh khole bas nazara dekhti rahi. Jis train ko woh sahi se chalane ki koshish kar rahi thi woh toh patri se hi utar gayi. Naiyaa dubti hui nazar aa rahi thi use. Woh Veer ko bas hamdardi liye dekhi.

Aur mann me hi sochne lagi,

'Kya kar diya ye aapne Sonali di? Aapne Veer Sir jaise ladke ko haath se jaane diya? Agar mein aapki jagah hoti, toh uss Kaushik chhapri ko ghaas tak nahi daalti. Ye kya kar diya aapne?'

Sonali idhar muskaan liye seat par baithi aur truck chaalu hoke waha se chalne laga.

Magar jaise hi uski nazre Veer par tiki toh woh ghabra uthi. Veer ke chehre par taajub bhare bhaav the.

Woh Sonali ko aise dekh raha tha jaise use pehli baar dekh raha ho. Jaise usne koi aisa kaam kar diya ho jiski Veer ko umeed hi nahi thi. Achanak hi, Sonali ke dil ki dhadkane bechaini ke chalte tezz ho uthi. Par, truck chal chuka tha.

Use ye abhaas hua ki taang kheechne ke chakkar me kahi na kahi shayad usne Veer ko thes pohucha di hai. Ye sab kya ho raha tha?

Veer ke chehre par woh bhaav usne aaj se pehle kabhi nahi dekhe the. Kya uss se koi bhul ho gayi? Kya woh zyada bol gayi?

Sonali : N-Nahi-!!! R-Ruko-!

Par tab tak bohut derr ho chuki thi. Food truck kaafi aage badh chuka tha. Aur Sonali, sheeshe se Veer ke chehre ko dekh paa rahi thi. Na jaane kyu par uske dil me ek ajeeb sa dard utha.

Ab jaise sab kuch galat lag raha tha. Ye pradarshani, ye thakaan, Veer ki taang kheechna, jaise ab sab bhul chuki thi woh. Ab jaise inka koi artha hi nahi reh gaya tha. Kyuki jise sataane ke liye usne ye kiya tha wahi use hataash hue naraazgi me dekh raha tha. Veer ki wahi akhiri chhavi uske mann me bas gayi aur ek vichitr sa dard chhodh gayi.

Truck yaha se Veer ki aankhon se ojhal ho gaya. Sonali ke andar wapas jaane ki himmat bhi nahi aayi aur na hi woh kuch samajh paayi ki ye kya hua abhi abhi. Veer ko uss tarah dekh, uske dil me itna dard kyu uth raha tha?

'Iss se pehle-! Iss se pehle mene use kabhi aise nahi dekha! K-Kahi mein kuch zyada toh nahi bol gayi na? Agar woh bura maan gaya toh-!!!'

Lekin, ab sochne se kya fayda jab chidiya chug gayi khet. Woh ye nahi jaanti thi ki aane waale pal uske liye kaise hone waale the. Uske peeche khada Kaushik apni ghatiya nazro se uske badan ko taadne me laga hua tha. Muh se laar tapakne ki deri thi bas.

'Aaj toh teri seal tod hi dunga Sonali darling!!!'

***

"Ye kya kiya aapne?"

Truck ke jaate hi Veer ke peeche se Prachi ki naraazgi bhari awaaz aayi.

Veer : Kya?

Lag raha tha jaise woh Veer se bhi kahi zyada nirash thi.

Prachi : Aapne unhe jaane diya?

Veer (turns back) : Mene unhe jaane diya?

Veer ke sawaal par Prachi maun reh gayi. Usne jaane nahi diya tha. Balki, woh sabhi khud hi chale gaye the.

Veer chaahta toh ek baar me yaha maujood ek ek ki hekdi nikaal deta. Use bas 'Intimidating Presence' equip karne ki zaroorat thi. Uska aura mehsoos kar ke hi unn sab ki bolti band ho jaati. Lekin, usne aisa na kiya.

Prachi bas saantvna liye use dekhti rahi. Veer ke dil pe kya guzar rahi thi jaise woh jaanti thi.

Woh hairaan tha. Use thes pohuchi thi. Taajub iss baat ka nahi tha ki Sonali Kaushik ke saath gayi. Taajub iss baat ka tha ki Sonali uski baat ka yakeen na kar ke Kaushik ki baat ka yakeen kar chali gayi.

Kitne mahine ho chuke the use aur Sonali ko ek chhat ke neeche rehte hue? Usne apni taraf se kya kami chhodhi thi Sonali ke liye? Dard bas yahi tha ki Sonali ne ek baar bhi uski baat pe vishvaas na kiya. Aur bina poori baat sune nikal gayi. Yahi kaaran tha jo uske chehre par aashcharya tha.

Prachi : A-Ab?

Veer : You stay here! Mujhe kuch kaam hai! Mein aata hu baad me.

Prachi : O-Okay!

Woh aage kuch na keh paayi. Veer turant hi uske hawaale food truck chhodh seedha Hotel Prestige yaani ki Bhumika aur Shweta ki hotel ki orr nikal gaya.

Hotel Prestige
Evening ~ 6:08 PM

"Ye sab kya laga rakha hai, haan?"

"Aur nahi toh kya? Hum sab kya bewakoof hai?"

"Arre jab nahi ho paa raha hai toh lena hi nahi chahiye na order. Kaisa management hai aapka?"

"Paisa bhar dikhta hai inhe Bhai sahab. Baaki grahak ki qadr thodi hi hai."

"Sahi kaha!"

"Mein khud aadhe ghante se wait kar raha hu. Family saath me hai. Order le liya hai magar abhi tak table par paani ka jug tak nahi aaya hai. Ab batao!"

"Ye koi dhang thode hi hai. Bhai nahi ho raha aapse toh bata do. Band kar do. Hai na? Aadmi apni dusri jagah jaaye. Usko pehle hi bata do."

"Bilkul! Bilkul!"

"Haan! Samay ki barbadi hai aise me toh-"

"Mein bhi family saath aaya hu. Ab mera order pehle de diya. Aur abhi tak baccho ka order nahi aaya. Ye kya baat hui? Matlab mein unke saamne akele akele khau ab? Aap batao bhai. Family time ka matlab kya hota hai? Aadmi hotel kyu jaata hai?"

"Bilkul! Bilkul! Parivar ke saath khaane ke liye hi toh aata hai. Par ye baat ye kaha samajhte hai-"

"Sahi kaha ji. Darasal, ye aaj kal harr hotel ka bann gaya hai. Jab jab holiday waale din rehte hai ye uss din jaan boojh ke itna rush ghuswa lete hai laalach ke chakkar me. Baad me inse manage hota nahi hai."

Kayi saare log reception area me khade ek dusre se baatein karne me lage hue the aur counter ke uss side khadi Nandini jo ki hotel ki manager thi bas ghabra ke sab kuch dekh rahi thi.

Nandini : Sir! Please! Shaanti banaye rakhiye. Dekhiye! Thodi si problem ho gayi hai. Baat samajhne ki koshish kariye. Aisa kabhi hota nahi hai. Par aaj thodi si dikkat ho gayi hai.

"Arre kya dikkat ho gayi hai?"

"Haan haan! Jab nahi ho paa raha toh pehle batana chahiye."

"Shaam ke samay me ye haal hai, socho raat me kya hoga jab dinner ke liye aur families aayengi."

"Band kar do hotel."

Nandini : P-Please Sir! Try to understand.

Nandini ne kabhi bhi iss tarah ki situation se deal nahi kiya tha. Kyuki aisi naubat kabhi aayi hi nahi thi. Par aaj na jaane kiski nazar lag gayi thi unki hotel ko.

Nandini ne apne sehyogi logo ko dekha aur public ko shaant rakhne ke liye keh ke woh fauran hi andar kitchen ki orr bhaagi.

Andar aate hi woh zorr se boli,

Nandini : Ma'am!! Ma'am baahar situation ab out of control jaa rahi hai. Manage karna ab mushqil ho raha hai. Logo ka gussa badhta jaa raha hai.

Andar Bhumika chintit nazro se use dekhi. Kitchen me saamne saare chefs aur workers apna kaam dhaam chhodh ke ek jhund bana ke khade hue the.

Unn sab ke beech me hotel ka Head Chef apni guroor bhari muskaan liye khada tha. Head Chef woh hota tha jo kitchen me saare chefs ka head hota tha. Wahi baaki chefs ko nirdesh deta tha aur hotel acchi tarah se chal sake, isme uska bohut bada yogdaan hota tha.

Magar, Hotel Prestige ke Head Chef, Narang aaj kisi aur mood me hi tha. Kareeb 40-45 ki umr ka ye aadmi apne saath saath baakiyo ko bhi apne shadiyantra me shaamil kiye baitha tha.

Narang : Mein kahe deta hu! Hamari maange poori karo warna hum sab abhi ke abhi apni naukri chhodh denge.

Bhumika bechain ho uthi. Iske pehle bhi woh do baar uss Narang ki payment badha chuki thi. Iss se zyada woh afford nahi kar sakti thi. Balki, shayad hi koi itni payment deta hoga.

Bhumika : Aapki payment mein pehle hi do baar badha chuki hu. Ye theek nahi hai. Kahi aur jaa ke dekhiye. Koi bhi aapko-

Narang : Hmph! Toh theek hai. Chale jaata hu. Yaha se acchi pagaar milne ka offer wese hi aa chuka hai mujhe.

Bhumika : Huh!??

Narang : Chalo Bhai log!!

Narang ke saath kaafi log the. Magar saare nahi. Kuch the jo abhi bhi apni pagaar se khush the aur hotel ke hit ke liye hi kaam karna chaahte the. Hotel se unka lagaav tha. Par ye log chand hi the.

Bhumika ne jab dekha ki woh log jaa sakte hai toh woh darr gayi. Woh inhe jaane nahi de sakti thi. Agar aisa hua, toh hotel ke profit ke upar bohut bada antar aa sakta tha. Nuksaan hi nuksaan ho sakta tha.

Naye chefs ko dhundhna, unhe laana, fir wapas se kaam samjhana, ye sab na jaane kitna samay le sakta tha. Uske baad taste ka change hona. Harr chef apne dhang se khaana banata hai. Jo yaha pehle se bana rahe hai, unke jaisa agla aadmi nahi bana sakta.

Prestige ki yahi toh pehchaan thi. Uska taste!! Agar chefs badal jayenge, toh woh pehle jaisa taste kaise maintain kar payenge? Signature dishes ka kya hoga jo sirf head chef hi banaaya karta hai?

Inn vichaaro ne Bhumika ko ek chakravyuh me fasa diya. Agar Shweta yaha hoti toh woh ab tak chidh ke Narang ko bhaga chuki hoti. Usme itna tolerance nahi. Magar, Bhumika ke andar tolerance level kahi zyada tha.

Bhumika (frowns) : Ye aap theek nahi kar rahe. Baahar log apne khaane ka wait kar rahe hai. Ye saari baatein aap baad me bhi toh kar sakte the na? Abhi karne ki kya zaroorat thi?

Narang : Iska faisla abhi hi hoga. Baad me taalne wala kaam mera nahi. Kyu bhai log?

"Haan haan!! Faisla abhi hoga."

Bhumika : A-Aap sab-!!! Kya zara bhi pyaar nahi aapko iss hotel se? Itne saalo tak aap sab ne kaam kiya hai. Kya kabhi aapko kisi cheez ki taqleef hone di hai mene ya Mom ne?

Uski iss baat par kuch chefs apna sarr jhuka ke khade ho gaye. Baat satya thi. Aaj tak unhe kabhi bhi kisi bhi cheez ki taqleef nahi hui thi. Pagaar hamesha samay par mil jaaya karti thi. Tyohaaro me unhe bonus bhi milta tha. Kahi se bhi koi taqleef nahi thi.

Fir woh sab kyu apni itni shaleen maalkin ke khilaaf khade ho uthe? Jawaab tha ~ Narang!

Jisne bhadka ke unhe apne side kar liya tha. Thode se behkaave me aane ke baad woh ye tak bhul gaye ki isi hotel se unka ghar chalta tha. Aaj woh usi ko laat maar rahe the. Kahi na kahi unn sab ke andar ek glaani ki bhaavna zaroor jaagi. Magar ab woh itna aage badh chuke the. Ab peeche nahi hatt sakte the.

Narang : Hume bas saaf saaf jawab de do!

Bhumika duwidha me fas gayi. Kya kare woh?

Saath khadi Arohi bhi clueless thi. Kya karti woh bechari.

Arohi : Kaash Veer yaha hota-!!!

Uske muh se ye nikla hi tha ki-

"What's happening here???"

Ek jaani pehchaani awaaz uske kaano me padi.

'Huh???'

Bhumika aur Arohi dono ne mud ke dekha toh paaya ki Veer unke saamne khada hua tha. Woh abhi abhi kitchen me aaya tha. Baahar ke staff ne use andar jaane ke liye kaha tha.

Arohi : Veeeeeer!!!

Woh aage badh unke nazdeek aaya aur Bhumika ne use sab kuch samjha diya. Pehle toh Veer hassa aur uske baad usne Narang ko dekha,

Veer : Toh tumhe jawaab chahiye? Hmm?

Narang ne upar se neeche tak Veer ko dekha. Iss ladke ko usne pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha. Jis tarah se Bhumika aur Arohi uske saath pesh aa rahi thi, Narang ne ek anumaan laga liya ki ye ladka unka koi rishtedar hi tha. Apna guroor wapas se chehre par jhalkaate hue woh bola,

Narang : Hmph! Tum jawaab doge? Kherr! Jo bhi de, mujhe farq nahi padta. Bas, haan ya naa me bata do. Payment hamari badha rahe ho ya nahi?

Veer (smiles) : Theek hai! Toh mein deta hu tumhe jawaab!

Narang : Hmm!

Veer : GET LOST!

Narang : Huh???

Bhumika : Ahhh??? V-Veeer???

Narang ko jaise apne kaano par yakeen nahi hua. Bhumika ka bhi yahi haal tha. Woh iss waqt kaise bhi kar ke unhe rokna chaahti thi. Baahar sabhi khaane ka wait kar rahe the. Aise me ye kaisa nirnay tha ki Narang ko bhaga diya jaaye?

Narang : K-Kya kaha tumne?

Veer : Mene kaha, dafa ho jao!

Narang : Haah! Haha! Hahahahahaha!

Bhumika : Veer! Tum-!?

Narang : Mujhe toh laga tha thodi bohut aqal se kaam loge. Par- Hahahahaha!!!

Veer (smiles) : Aqal se hi kaam liya hai. Aur ye aqal pehle hi dikha deni chaahiye thi.

Narang : *frowns*

Veer : How much you pay him monthly?

Bhumika : Th-That's-!!! 60,000!!!

Veer (baffled) : 60 hazaar rupaye?? Aur pehle kitna pay karti thi?

Bhumika : 45,000!

Veer : 15,000 rupaye ka izaafa!! Mujhe nahi lagta ki aas paas ke kisi bhi hotel me kisi Head Chef ki itni payment hogi.

Narang : Ladke!! Tujhe pata hi kya hai? Hmph!!! Baahar jaake dekh zara. Casa Belle waale toh mujhe khushi khushi le lenge.

Bhumika : N-Nahi!!!

Bhumika ka darr jayaz tha.

Casa Belle!!!




Haal hi me khuli ek nayi hotel jo unke hotel ke paas hi thi. Ek 5 star hotel. Bhumika ka sapna tha ki woh apni iss hotel ko 5 star hotel me tabdeel kare. Duniya ki ekdum premium hotels me uski hotel ka naam jaana jaaye. Aur isi sapne ke liye woh jee tod mehnat kiya karti thi.

Lekin, Casa Belle ke aane ke baad se hi hotel ke liye mushqile badh rahi thi. Zyada crowd abhi bhi Prestige ke paas hi tha. Magar, kya hoga agar Narang jaise chefs uske paas se chale jaaye aur jaa ke Casa Belle me kaam karne lage?

Hotel toh band hone ki kagaar pe aa jayega.

Veer bas muskuraya. Aur woh khushi khushi bola,

Veer : Darwaze khule hai! Jaa sakte ho!

Narang : T-Tum-!!!

Bhumika : Veer! Nahi! Hum aisa nahi kar sakte. Jald se jald inn sab ko rokna hoga. Baahar shor badhta jaa raha hai. Th-Theek hai mein payment badhaane ke liye-

Veer : Hargiz nahi! Ek rupaya bhi badhaya nahi jayega. Payment aapke kaam ke hisaab se ekdum sahi hai. Balki, zyada hi hai. 50,000 is a very good amount for a head chef. Not to mention ki tum kisi 5 star hotel ke chef nahi ho. Aur na hi abhi hamari hotel ek fully 5 star hotel me tabdeel hui hai.

Narang : Toh theek hai-!!! Bhaad me jao tum! Madam ji! Ab sambhal lena aap. Baad me mere paas gidgidate hue mat aana.

Bhumika : V-Veeeeer!!! Ye kya kiya tumne? P-Please! Hum unhe jaane nahi de sakte.

Narang : Hmph! Chalo Bhai log!

Usne kaha, magar pehle ke muqaable ab sirf aadhe hi log Narang ke saath aaye. Baaki aadhe peeche hoke khade ho gaye. Veer ki baato ne jaise unhe abhaas dilaya tha ki unhe jo mil raha tha woh pehle se kahi zyada tha.

Narang : Hmm? Tum sab!!! Yahi rehne ka irada hai kya? Bhulo nahi ki aise mauke baar baar nahi aate. Pagaar badhaane ka iss se accha mauka nahi milega. Ye ghatiya hotel chhodho aur chalo mere saath. Mein tum sab ko 20% zyada pagaar dilwaunga pehle ke muqaable.

Chef 1 : 20% zyada?

Narang : Haan! Chalo ab! Narang ki zubaan hai.

Chef 1 : L-Lekin-!! Nahi! Nahi hum yahi theek hai.

Narang : Tum!!! Mene kaha chalo mere saath.

Uska haath jabran thaam Narang ne jab use ghaseetna chaaha toh ek mazboot haath ne uski kalaayi ko jakad liya.

Veer : Woh kahi nahi jayega!

Narang : Ladke-!!! Haath chhodh!! Woh toh madam ke yaha itne saal kaam kiya hai isliye haath nahi uthaya tujh par. Tu hota kaun hai mujhe rokne waala? Madam ke naate mein kuch kar nahi raha warna-

Veer : Warna!? Shukr manao ki unhi madam ke chalte tum ab tak sahi salamat ho. Itne saal kaam kiya hai isliye zyada kuch kiya nahi mene warna-

Narang : Hoshiyar samajhta hai apne aap ko? Saale teri toh-

*Swish*

Wahi par rakha ek bada sa chamcha utha ke Narang ne Veer ke sarr pe chalaya par woh late tha. Ya yu kahe ki Veer uss se hazaro guna tezz tha.

Agle hi shan Narang ke haath se woh chamcha gaayab hua,

LIMBO!!!

*Crack*

*Swoosh*

Narang ko uske peeche se shirt pakad ke Veer ne uska sarr turant hi-

*Plop*

Paani se bhare ganj me de maara.

*Blurgh!!* *Gulp* *glrggh*

Bhumika : Nooooo!!! You both-!!!! Stop it Please!!!

Paani se uske chehre ko nikaal Veer use darwaze ki orr laaya aur-

*BAMMMMMM*

Darwaza zorr se khula aur ek udta hua insaan kuch feet dur jaa ke gira.

Baahar baithi tamaam janta ekdum se shaant ho gayi. Jo shikaayte woh pehle kar rahe the. Maar dhaad dekh sabke sab ekdum se dubak ke baith gaye.

Narang : L-Ladkeeee-!!! Madar-

*Bammmmmmm*

"Ugggghhh!!!"

Veer ne use pakda aur use aise le gaya jaise maano woh kooda fekne jaa raha tha.

Veer : Security!!!

Guard 1 : H-Haan!

Veer : Aaj se ye chef nahi hai. Hamari hotel me kaam toh kya, shaqal bhi nahi dikhni chahiye iski.

[What a strong performance. That's what I like about you~ A strong boy... needs a strong 'Mommy'! Doesn't he?]

'Shut up!'

[Fufufu~ Sooner or later! You'll be mine! ♡]

Narang ke saath jitne bhi the, woh Veer ko ladta dekh ke hi sehem gaye.

Veer : Aur tum sab!? Jaana nahi hai?

"N-Nahi Sir! H-Hum kaam karne taiyaar hai. Hum-"

Veer : Out!!!

"???"

Veer : Iss se pehle ki yahi haal tum sab ka hoye. Mere bina kahe hi nikal jao!

Na chaahte hue bhi unn sabhi ko waha se nikalna pada. Unhone apne hi perr par kulhadi maar li thi. Acchi bhali naukri haath se gawa di.

Ab woh sab Narang ke hi bharose the. Idhar Bhumika ki jaan jaise halak me aa gayi. Veer ne sabke saamne hi Head Chef ko nikaal diya? Ab kya hoga?

Bhumika : Khatam! Sab khatam! Veer! Kyu kiya aisa??? Ab k-kaise-!?

Arohi : Trust him!

Bhumika : Huh?

Arohi : He must have thought of something.

Bhumika : Wh-What?

Narang aur uski toli ko bhagaane ke baad Veer apne customers ke saamne aaya aur usne apni baat rakhi,

Veer : Jo kuch bhi hua. Uss sab ke liye mein aapse maafi maangta hu. Darasal, hamare Head Chef ki zyaadti badh gayi thi. Aur unhe ayeena dikhana zaroori tha. Mujhe aap sab 10 minute dijiye. 10 minute ke andar andar orders lagne shuru ho jayenge. Mein waada karta hu, aisa swaad aapne kahi nahi chakha hoga.

Uske bolte hi aapsi me logo ki khusur pusur chaalu ho gayi.

"Theek hai lao Bhai! Ab itna late toh ho hi gaya hai."

"H-Haan! 10 minute dekh sakte hai."

Manzoori milne ke baad Veer muskuraate hue kitchen me gaya. Peeche peeche Bhumika aur Arohi bhi thi. Nandini wahi baahar reh ke logo ko sambhaale rahi.

Aur idhar andar aate hi,

*Ding*

[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]

Veer : Tum sab!!! Apna apna naam batao! Jaldi!

Bache hue chefs se jaise hi Veer ne buland awaaz me pucha sab uske aage sehem gaye. Andar se hi ek respect waali bhaavna na jaane kyu jaagrit hone lagi.

Apna apna naam unn sabhi ne bataya. Bhumika ko chinta khaaye jaa rahi thi.

Bhumika : Veer ab kya hoga? Hum kaise manage karenge? Ye nahi hona chahiye tha.

Veer : Bhumika dii!

Bhumika : ???

Veer (smiles) : Woh Narang pehle se hi naukri chhodhne ke chakkar me tha.

Bhumika : Wh-What??

Veer : Kya aapne gaur nahi kiya? Kyu woh baar baar Casa Belle hotel ka zikr kar raha tha?

Bhumika : Woh-

Veer (smiles) : Casa Belle waale logo ne pehle se hi use ghoos de di hai shayad. Narang toh bas bahana dhoondh raha tha yaha se nikalne ka.

Bhumika : Ahh!!?

Veer : Isliye woh aisi betuki farmayish rakh raha tha. Use laga tha ki aap use naukri se nikaal dogi. Aur uska kaam bann jayega.

Bhumika : Y-Ye!?

Veer (smiles) : But you were persistent. Aap use jaane nahi de rahi thi. Uske liye aur mushqil ho raha tha. And that's why he opted for violence.

Bhumika : Ahhhnn! Y-Ye baat thi!?

Veer : I fulfilled his wish. Ab shayad hi woh kabhi accha khaana bana paaye. *smiles*

Bhumika : Hmm?

Veer (smiles) : Looks like we've got a new competition in the market. Anyways! Aap sab kuch mujh par chhodh dijiye.

Bhumika : B-But how-!?

Veer (screams) : CHEFS!!!!

"Y-Yesss sirrr!!!"

Veer ne apni shirt utaar apni kamar par baandhi. Haath dhoye aur woh taiyaar tha.

Veer : Get ready!!! Bhumika dii! Arohi dii! Order numbers dijiye. Pehle woh bataiye jaha orders adhura pohucha hai. Uske baad woh orders jaha bohut derr se khaana nahi pohucha. And lastly newest ones.

Bhumika : G-Got it!!

Arohi : Veer! Table number 7!!! Umm! 1 Dal fry, 1 Veg pulav, and 1 butter paneer masala!!

Veer : Got it!!!

Uske haath itni raftaar se chal rahe the ki baaki chefs apni aankhein faade dekhte reh gaye. Kahi koi choonk nahi, sab kuch perfection se ho raha tha.

Bhumika ne jab uski speed dekhi toh uska muh khula ka khula reh gaya. Speed hona koi bohut badi baat nahi thi.

Par full accuracy ke saath speed hona, ye bilkul naamumkin jaisa tha. Kahi koi cheez gir nahi rahi thi. Tel ki maatra, pan ko saute karne ka dhang, ingredients ki maatra sab kuch jaise ekdum perfectly daala jaa raha tha.

Veer : Vijayyy!!!

Vijay : Y-Yes Chef!?

Veer : Tomato soup!!! Table number 9 ke liye. Abhi!!!

Vijay : Y-Yes Chef!!!

Veer : Toasted bread piece daalna mat bhulna!!

Vijay : Y-Yes!!

Veer : Coriander ki garnishing!!!

Vijay (shouts) : Yessssss Chef!!!

Veer : Rohitttt!!!!

Rohit : H-Haan??

Veer : Same table!!! Dry Manchurian!!

Rohit : Y-Yess Chef!!!

*Clang* *Schling*

Bartano ki khat-pat awaazo ke saath aur chaaku chhuriya ki dhaar ke sang Veer ne kitchen me ek alag hi aura bhar diya.

Baaki chefs Veer ki skills dekh, uss se order lete hue itne motivate ho gaye ki woh harsho-ullas ke saath khaana banaane me jutt gaye. Asli swaad tabhi aata hai jab ek chef dil se khushi khushi uss khaane ko banaaye. Aaj wahi ho raha tha.

Bhumika ne aisa drishya pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha. Veer ko kaam karta dekh, uski dhadkane tezz ho uthi. Sach kehte hai. Ek mard sabse zyada attractive tab hi lagta hai jab woh apne kaam me leen ho.

Woh yaha uss Narang ki payment badhaane ke chakkar me thi. Aur yaha Veer ne ek jhalak me uske shadiyantra ko pakad liya tha.

Bhumika : I have so much yet to learn...! M-Mein use samajh nahi saki theek se.

Arohi (smiles) : That's okay! As long as you keep faith in him!

Bhumika (smiles) : I see now! Thank you! Arohi!

Arohi (smiles) : Mmm~

Baahar jaise jaise dishes aati gayi, logo ke mann se woh doubt khatam ho gaya. Jaise jaise unhone khaane ka swaad chakha sab ke sab chakit reh gaye. Baat sahi thi. Aaj tak unn sabhi ne iss tarah ka swaad nahi chakha tha. Dishes toh same hi thi. Lekin, ek naya zaayka tha usme. Kuch extra tha. Jo woh bata nahi paa rahe the.

Akhir kaar ye silsila khatam hua. Raat ke 10:30 baj rahe the. Rush samaapt ho chuka tha. Veer ne aaj se pehle kabhi itna khaana nahi banaaya tha.

Garmi ke chalte woh poora paseene se lath-path tha. Hotel ke baahar closed ka sign lag chuka tha.

Dining area me hi woh ek kursi par AC ke neeche baith gaya.

Uske bagal se Arohi thi toh wahi dusri orr Bhumika.

Arohi ne ek towel lete hue uska paseena pochha.

Veer (smiles) : Thank you!

Arohi : Thank you!

Veer : Hmm?

Arohi : For working this hard!

Bhumika ne achanak se uski baah ko apne haatho ke ird gird liya.

Veer : ???

Bhumika : Veer! Aaj sab ne khaane ki itni zyaada tareef ki hai ki mein tumhe bata nahi sakti. Aisa pehle kabhi nahi hua.

Veer : Haha!

Bhumika : No doubt woh Narang accha khana banaata tha. Lekin, kabhi bhi public aise react nahi karti thi. Jo kuch bhi tamasha aaj hua, uss se public darr bhi gayi thi. Isliye mene unhe Sunday ka special offer ka coupon bhi diya hai. Umeed hai ye swaad chakhne ke baad woh zaroor ayenge.

Veer : Of course!

Bhumika (frowns) : L-Lekin-! Ye toh sirf aaj ke liye tha. Aaj tumne madad kar di. Aage kya hoga?

Veer : Don't worry! Aapke liye mene naya head chef bhi dhoondh liya hai.

Bhumika : Kya??? Kaun hai woh?

Veer (smiles) : You'll know soon!

Woh aankhein band thodi derr khud ko durust karne laga jab,

*Puch*

'Huh?'

Do narm honth uske gaal par lag gaye. Bhumika ne sharmaate hue uske gaal ko chooma.

Bhumika (blushes) : Th-Thank you so much!!!

Veer : Ahem! D-Don't mention it!

***

Yaha toh sab nipat chuka tha. Magar inn beete ghante Sonali kaha thi?

Food truck se nikalne ke baad woh Kaushik ke sang pradarshani dekhne gayi thi. Khayaal toh use Veer ka hi aa raha tha.

Kintu, Kaushik ki lagataar baato ko sunn aur pradarshani me mauj masti kar uska dhyaan Veer par se thoda hatt gaya.

Derr raat ho rahi thi. Usne aaj khoob enjoy kiya tha. Ab lautne ka samay tha.

Kaushik ka dost bhi jaa chuka tha. Ab woh khud hi gaadi chala raha tha.

Kaushik : Kya iss nacheez ke saath sundari jii ko thoda bohut bhi accha laga?

Sonali : Hahaha! Tumhari baatein betuki hai. Aur mujh par line maarna band kar do.

Kaushik : Uui maa! Pakda gaya kya mein?

Sonali : Kab ke!!! Chalo! Aur mujhe jaldi se wapas se truck par chhodh do. Prachi ab aur late nahi ruk payegi.

Kaushik : Bilkul! Bilkul!

Sonali ko raaste pata nahi the. Magar kuch na kuch mod yaad zaroor the.

Jab Kaushik ne truck dusri disha me moda toh uski bauhe kass uthi.

Sonali : Arre? Y-Ye raasta nahi hai. Woh waala mod tha.

Kaushik : Jaane dijiye na! Aaj yaha se chalte hai. Kaafi saari khubsoorat jagaahe hai yaha pe. Aapko dikhata hu.

Sonali : N-Nahi! Raat bohut ho gayi hai. Aur mujhe ab jaana hai.

Kaushik : Maaniye toh baat-!!

Sonali : Mene kaha na-!!! Ye-! Ye kya kar rahe ho tum??

Kaushik : Nahi!! A-Aaj aapko meri baat maanami padegi.

Woh uski orr mudte hue bola. Uski muskaan me iss baar hawas ke iraade jhalak rahe the.

Sonali : !!???

भाई रेलवे में job लगी है as a senior commercial clerk, उसी का joining का process चालू है। Document verification, medical और खूब सारे cirtificats बनवाने में सास लेने की फुरसत नहीं मिल रही है, इसलिए ज्यादा online भी नही आ रहा।

Samajh sakta hu bhai. Aur sabse pehle toh congratulations. Sarkari Naukri paane ke liye. Bohut bohut badhaayi.

हालकि दोनो अपडेट पढ़े, दोनो शानदार थे पर अभी इतना time नही मिल रहा की एक अच्छा सा बड़ा सा review लिख पाऊं, और खाली nice update awesome update लिख के छोटा सा पोस्ट करूंगा तो मेरी आत्मा को setisfaction नहीं मिलेगा। तो अभी के लिए sorry रहेगा एक बार job join कर लूं फिर आपकी स्टोरी फिर से पूरी पढूंगा।

Hmm! Koi baat nahi Bhai. Jab samay mile tab likh dena kuch. Beech beech me shaqal dikha diya karo. Taaki mujhe pata chalta rahe ki haan sab yahi hai.

And हां एक request भी है, आने वाले अपडेट में मुझे वीर और आरोही का conversation देखना है, वो conversation जो वीर के birthday में unexpected kiss की वजह से अधूरी रह गई है।

Unka convo alag se hai ek sequence me. Jaha kiss ko lekar hi woh dono ek dusre ko confront karenge. Kavya ke sang bhi ek convo hai.

बाकी तो भाई स्वस्थ रहे मस्त रहे

[Werewolf]

पूरा होकर खत्म हुआ सब,
जो है आधा वो ही जिंदा है।।​

Werewolf bhau ka ye hi fanda is story ko jiwit rakhe hue hai .....So finally.. finally hogaya "CRIMSON ARC" khatam poori arc mein bhenchod suspence suspence humesha humko beech mein chhod ke chale jaate the ...khi veer ke baal leherate hue khatam kardete to khi ding notification aajata grace Martin is dead ...

update agar aisi jagah finish nahi hoga, toh readers ke andar agle update padhne ki laalsa kaise jaagegi? Usko intensify karne ke liye ye apun karta hai aur dheere dheere ye karte rehne par ab mujhe iski aadat lag gayi hai. Mein itna manjh gaya hu isme ki update kaise shuru karna hai aur kaise khatam, sab badhiya se dimaag me aata hai.

OR OR ..Haan action usko hum kaise bhool skte hai.I have seen many action seen in movies ..as well as.. in story sab jagah dekha beech par ,factory mein ,sunsan jagah par or Haan bedroom mein bhi ....but but I have never ever seen action inside the water or wo bhi sharks ke beech mein or aise nhi ki bas likh diya. I have felt that I am seeing that fucking action or is action seen ke saath crimson bhi chatak gaya ..

Aur wahi scene likhna kaafi complicated tha mere liye. Challenge tha. Kyuki mene bhi pehle kabhi paani me ladaayi ke baare me nahi likha tha you know. Jab aap underwater fight dikhaate ho toh aapki vocabulary ko pehle se hi restriction lag jaate hai. Aap ladaayi khul ke nahi dikha sakte kyuki characters paani ke andar maujood hai. Jo freely move nahi kar sakte.

Dono hi characters ke baare me depth me jaanane ke baad hi unki uss fight ko likha gaya. Crimson apni jagah strong tha. Woh apni skills ka use kar raha tha. Toh wahi Veer apni skills aur dimaag ka istemaal kar raha tha. Jaha Veer ka dimaag Vijay praapt kiya kyuki intelligence badha jo liya tha usne.

Till now in your story Miss Ava Martin is shown as 'pawn' kyonki abhi Tak uska jitna bhi role rha hai is story mein she has not done a fucking thing on her own so I can't say anything about her in my opinion she is neither a bad character not good for me she is like neutral .

Abhi neutral lag sakti hai. Aur acchi baat hai ki woh neutral lag rahi hai. Uska role zyada raha hu nahi hai abhi. Woh bas use ki gayi thi. Aur usne Crimson ne Veer ko use Kiya. And that was it. Uske baad uski sachhayi saamne aayi. She helped Veer and she is gone now.

And in the end we saw the past of crimson ...that how he got trapped with his friend who was his real buddy ..after seeing that I got Respect for this BADASS character though he had done many bad thing but if any thing same as crimson happen to me and I got that system I had done far worst than him ..

Still! He did chose the wrong path. Crimson ne bhale hi unn logo ko maar diya. Lekin woh bhi kaun sa sahi kaam kar raha tha? Usne bhi apna raasta galat hi chuna tha. And that's why... He lost!

Now coming to the another character
"Mr. X" as you named him cause we don't know his real name. Till date he is mystery for us but it's okk agar shuhagraat hi dikha denge to fir wo apni biwi nhi humari biwi hojayegi na

Haha! Woh aise hi beech beech me aata jayega. Don't worry!

(Mujhe pta hai bhai tanne laag rhia hoga kaise example den lag ria yo Banda ab ke karoon sangati ka asar hai mere saare dost hi bharose Wale hai ...)

Ab aate hai crimson arc ki poonch par bole to aakhri upadate is mein dekhle Bhai update ko beech mein finish kardia keara ka kuch alg sa rudra roop dikha kar ab yhaan par bhi humare saath khelne ka achha prayas Kia hai aapne

Arc ka end tha. Suspense me toh hona hi tha. Abhi business arc bhi aise hi end hoyega. Pehle se jata raha hu.

Kyonki jab veer ne hi khud dairy likhi to usko is hisaab se likhni thi ki uska mission successful hota na ki favorability kam. i am little bit confuse here that why this happen keara ke part ko padh kar mein sirf itna hi kahunga bhai (it's just a suggestion dil par na le) ki keara ko lead mein mat rakhna ..kyonki agar keara heroine banti hai to deal jayada hongi pyaar kam according to me (ab mein koi judge to hoon nhi Jo Mera faisla hi saasan hoga to aapne decide Kia hai whi karna wolfy bro) NIDHI MAM ko lead role mein hona chahiye as heroine or we can say jo apne veer ke sabse close ho ....

Dekhte jao man kaise kya hota hai. Veer ne diary Kaera ke emotions ko jagaane ke liye likhi thi. Apne fayde ke liye nahi. Uska maqsad sirf aur sirf Kaera ko uske emotions wapas dena tha. Aur tabhi toh woh Veer hai. He's not selfish. Kaera ki favourability giri hai kisi incident ko yaad kar ke. Lekin woh 50 pe abhi bhi barkaraar hai aur ye bhi isliye kyuki use kuch incidents yaad hai. Ab woh kaun kaun se hai ju yaad kar lena.

Kaera Trinity ka hissa hai. She's one of the lead heroines. Nidhi ma'am bohut hi complex character hai. Araam se approach karna hoga use. Dekhte hai hum.

That's it from my side wolfy bro ....all i can say about crimson arc is "KATAI JEHER".....or aage bhi aise hi khoon bheta rhega bande marte rhenge veer ka system update hota rhega...or Haan Aisa action milta rhega kyonki pyaar dekhne hum is story ko nhi padh rhe wo bhut log likhte hai par ..Aisa action bhut Kam log likhte hai so ..keep witting....

Thanks a lot man!
