Dono khana kha kar apne kamre me dakhil hue. We darwaja band karne wale hi the ki kisi ne akar unka gate rok diya. Arjun ne jab apna sar uthakar upar dekha to dekhta hi rah gaya.
Uske munh se nikla, “kya mast lag rahi hai.”
Darasal band hone se rokne wala koi aur nahi Mrinali thi, Surabhi ki nani. Wah jab gate band hota hua dekhi to usne jhat se apna hath laga diya tha.
“Nani, aap aa gayi.”
Wah Arjun ki baat sunkar use dantne wali hi thi ki usko Surabhi ki awaj sunai di.
“Rukmani!” kahte hue Mrinali Surabhi ke gale lag gayi. Fir wah usse alag hote hue boli, “ye badtamij ladka kaun hai. Aur tumhare sath kya kar raha hai.”
“Arjun tum leaving room me hi raho mai tab tak nani se baat kar rahi hu.” Surabhi Arjun ko boli. “Thik hai” Arjun kandhe uchkata hua bola. Aur jakar sofe par baith gaya.
Surabhi Mrinali ko lekar bedroom me aa jati hai. Kuchh ghante pahle yahi Surabhi aur Arjun ne dhum machai thi, lekin ab kamara pura saaf suthra tha. Hawa bhi fresh thi.
Mrinali ko lekar Surabhi bed par baith gayi. Usne Mrinali se puchha, “Nani aap kaisi ho.”
“Mai thik hu. Tu apna bata. Pata hai mai aaj kitna dar gayi thi. Jab tumhari khabar rajmahal se aayi thi.” Mrinali uski hath pakadti hui boli.
Rajmahal ki jikr sunte hi Surabhi ki ankho me anshu aa gaye. Wah boli, “Nani, mai thilk hu. Mai Arjun ke sath rajmahal se bahar aa gayi thi. Uske baad ekaek Arjun ko hosh aa gaya. Mujhe to laga tha ki maine Arjun ko kho diya hai. Wo apne bahar jise dekha wah mera Arjun hai.”
“Ohh achha to wah Arjun hai. Lekin wah to yodhha nahi ban sakta tha na. Maine dekha abhi wah Mortal rank ki first star ki high rank ka yodhha hai.” Mrinali puchhi. Usne bhi is ladke ke baare me sun rakha tha.
Mrinali ko Surabhi batati hai ki kaise wah bahut tut chuki thi aur jangal me Arjun ko kaise hosh aya tha. Jisko sunkar nani awak rah gayi thi. Wah samajh nahi paa rahi thi ki aisa kya ho gaya hai ki uthne ke baad nakara ladka do din me hi high grade first star yodhha ban gaya hai. Akhirkar Surabhi ne Mrinali ko jadui anguthi ke baare me nahi bataya tha.
Surabhi kuchh sochkar boli, “Nani, in sab bato ko chhodiye, apko ek sach batana hai. Yah sab maine abhi tak kisi ko nahi bataya hai.”
“Kaisa sach…” Mrinali boli. Uske kaan khade ho gaye the. Surabhi boli. “Nani Arjun, Ranjit ka beta nahi hai. Darasal mere aur Ranjit ke bich kabhi sambandh bane hi nahi.”
“Ye kya bak rahi hai…” Mrinali chauk jati hai. Wah lagbhag uchhalte hue bolti hai. Akhirkar koi apko kahe ki jis baat ko aap 18 saal se sach maan rahi ho wah jhutha hai, to chaukega kyo nahi. Mrinali ko chaukta hua dekhkar Surabhi use shant karti hai. Aur batati hai, “Arjun mera aur **** ka beta hai. Uske pita bahut bade samrajya ke rajkumar hai. Jis din mai unse mili thi usi din se mai unhe pasand karne lagi thi. Aur kuchh din baad mai apne aap ko usko saunp baithi thi. Uske sath mai teen mahine tak rahi thi. Hamlog roj bhes badal kar shahar me ghumne jaate. Kjhub mauj mastiya karte. Lekin ek din wah mujhe chhodkar chala gaya. Usne ek chhithi aur ek mayajal ki chhodkar gaya tha. Usme usne bataya tha ki wah yaha par kuchh salo keliye sadharan jindagi jine keliye aya tha.” wah kuchh der ruki. Lekin yah sab batate hue uski ankho me anshu nahi the. Lag raha tha wah sabkuchh accept kar chuki hai. Wah aage boli, “wah mayajal aisi thi ki mai apne paas se kisi admi ko aane par shuru kar di to use mayajal me mai dikhungi lekin waha par mai nahi houngi. Maine usi ki sahayata se Ranjit ko apne paas aane se rok rakha. Kuchh mahine baad pata chala ki mai pregnent hu. Aap to janti ho na ki yodhhayon ke bachhe bahut din tak garbh me rahte hai. Isiliye mujhe jyada paresani nahi hui. Yah sab baat maine aapse chhupa kar rakhi thi.”
Mrinali Surabhi ko bade hi gaur se dekh rahi thi. Aur man hi man soch rahi thi, “na jane is ladki ne apne andar aur kya kya raaj chhupa rakhe hai.”
Surabhi fir se aage boli, “nani ab mai khul kar apne man se jina chahti hu. Aur apko pata hai ki maine Arjun ke sath aaj sex kar liya hai. Ab mai pichhe nahi hat sakti.”
Mrinali Surabhi keliye bahut dukhi thi. Jab usne aisi baat suni to usne kuchh nahi kaha, kyonki yodhha ki duniya me aise riste aam baat hote hai. Aur Mrinali sau saal se upar ji chuki thi. Ab use yah sab baat paresan nahi karti thi ki koi kisse chudta hai aur kisse nahi. Bas agar kisi ka vishwas na tutata hai to sab thik hai.
Surabhi aage boli, “nani, maine faisla kiya hai ki Arjun rajgaddi keliye lade. Aapko madad karni padegi uski.”
Surabhi ki baat sunkar Mrinali boli, “Surabhi, yah karke tum bahut galat karogi. Tum Arjun par koi dabav mat dalo. Use karne do jo wah chah raha hai. Nahi to uska bachpan to barbad ho jayega jawani bhi barbad ho jayegi.”
Surabhi Mrinali ki baat sunkar chauk padi. Use bhi samajh me aane laga tha ki apni bhawnao me aakar usne kya karne ka soch liya tha.
Mrinali boli, “achha Arjun ko bulao.” Surabhi Arjun ko kamre ke andar bula leti hai. Mrinali Arjun ko apne paas bithati hai aur kahti hai, “tumhe maafi nahi mangni kya. Kitni bhaddi baat boli thi mujhe tumne darwaje par.”
Arjun pal bhar Mrinali ko dekhta hai. Wah Mrinali ki ankho me koi gussa nahi dekhta. Lekin waha use kuchh aur hi dikhai deta hai jise dekh kar wah chauk jata hai.
