Waaah zabardast the vampire bhai. Kya likha hai aur kya bheja fry kar rahe hain mera.Chapter 9 - Look Who Died !!!
Agle din subah 10 baje main Chipku ke saath Sharafat Bar mein betha hua tha.
"Jaldi uth gaye Bhai aaj aap?"Vo mujhe dekh daant dikhata hua bola.
"God damn it. Does the entire world know that i sleep till late?"Maine dil hi dil mein socha.
"Haan aise hi aankh khul gayi"Main pehli bar ek Bar mein betha chaai pi raha tha jo pata nahi Chipku ne kaisa kahan se arrange karayi thi. Khud vo subah subah beer gatak raha tha.
"Aapka tabiat kaisa hai abhi bhai?
"Kal better tha thoda par sala Bukhar aaj phir se aa gaya"Maine chaai ka ghoonth lete hue kaha. Aaj subah meri aankh khuli toh mera bukhar phir laut aaya tha aur ek baar phir subah savere mujhe jaga diya tha.
"Doctor kya kehta hai"
"Gaya hi nahi doctor ke paas ab tak main"Maine muskurate hue kaha.
"Dikha lo Bhai. Aajkal sala kaise kaise toh bukhar chal rahe hain. Naam bhi aisa full angrezi type. Malum pade ke bukhar nahi koi imported perfume ke baat kar rele"
"Haan jaoonga. Main bhi soch raha hoon ke test vagerah kuchh kara hi loon"
"Apun ko kaise yaad kiya subah savere?"
"Kal udhar gaya tha main, Genie in a bottle"Maine bataya.
"Bole toh?"
"Arrey vo Sharafat Bhai ka doosra wala Bar, angrezi style wala"
"Achha haan. Vo sala naam apun ko kabhi samajh aayela hi nahi."
"Kal vahan gaya tha main vo ladki ke baare mein pata karne. Tu sach bol raha tha"
"Matlab?"Uske chehre ke haav bhaav ekdam badal gaye.
"Vahan kaam karne wali ek ladki ko maine vo Saanwli ki tasveer dikhayi thi. Vo mujhse jhooth boli ke usne is ladki ko kabhi dekha nahi par chehre se saaf pata chal raha tha ke jhooth bol rahi hai"
"Phir?"
"Phir vo ladki manager ko leke aayi, meri shakal dikhayi aur bas phir mujhe vahan se uthake bahar phenka nahi un logon ne par sharafat ke saath chalta zaroor kar diya"Maine haste hue kaha.
"Utho"Vo uthkar achanak khada ho gaya.
"Kya?"Maine hairani se uski taraf dekha.
"Bolo nahi kuchh. Bas khamoshi se utho aur kalti ho lo idhar se"
Isse pehle ke main kuchh kehta, vo uthkar gate ki taraf chal pada. Maine bhi chaai ke cup se ek aakhri ghoonth khincha aur uske pichhe pichhe chal diya.
Tez kadmo se chalte ham dono bahar aaye. Chipku sidha meri car ke paas pahuncha aur mujhe ishare se kaha ke main car mein bethkar vahan se chalun.
Koi 10 min drive ke baad ham thoda door pahunche aur kone mein maine uske kehne par gaadi rok di.
"Batayega kya kar raha hai?"Maine puchha.
"Kya Adi Bhai. Apun sala aapko mast jasoos type aadmi sochela tha. Aisa bevakoofi ka kaam aap karoge socha hi nahich apun"
"Ab kya hua?"Main hairan hote hue bola.
"Apun kya bataya tha aapko? Ke udhar us chhokri ko leke kuchh toh rada hua tha jiske baad Sharafat Bhai sabko khulle mein bole the ke us chhokri ko lekar koi baat nahi karega par phir bhi aap udhar aise chaude mein jaake sabko photu bitu dikhaye?"
Uski baat mujhe samajh aa rahi thi.
"Aur uske baad apni izzat badhva kar aap aake idhar Sharafat Bhai ke doosre Bar mein beth gayele? Aisa khulle mein? Aur apne saath sala apun ko bhi bitha dala?"
Uski ye baat bhi sahi thi.
"Vo kya bolte usko, Aa saand meri maar karke typke kuchh"
"Aa bel mujhe maar"Maine uski kahwat sahi kari.
"Haan vahinch. Aisaich koi irada lag rela hai aapka mere ko"
"Tu sahi keh raha hai. Yaar ye bimari ne mere sochne samajhne ki taqat pe parda daal diya hai. Doctor ko dikha hi loon"
"Haan dikha hi lo varna apne saath apun ko bhi marvaoge aap"
"Sorry Yaar"Maine maafi maangi.
"Jaan do abhi. Vaise us chhokri ke baare mein udhar koi bolega nahi par koi hai jo shayad kuchh janta ho"Vo sochta hua bola.
"Kaun?"
"Bijli"
"Bijli?"
"Haan. Vo idhar Sharafat Bhai ke addo pe kaam karne wali zyadatar ladkiyon ko jaanti hai. Usse baat karke dekho. Shayad kuchh bata deve"
Chipku se thodi der aur baat karke maine use kuchh paise diye aur vo gaadi se nikal kar paidal hi chala gaya. Jaate jaate mujhe ye hidayat bhi de gaya ke main bhool kar bhi Sharafat Bar mein dobara na aaon, kam se kam agle ek saal tak toh nahi.
Uske jaane ke baad main gaadi start kar hi raha tha ke phone baj utha. Call Khan ki thi.
"Haan Bhai. Breaking news suni. Tera ek dushman duniya ko alvida keh gaya"Phone uthate hi Khan khush hote hue bola.
"Kaun?"
"Joshi. Gaya uper"
______________________________
Hosh aaya toh main ek kursi se bandha betha tha. Sar se khoon behkar mere gale ke aas paas sookh chuka tha aur shirt ke pichhle hisse mein mujhe chipchipahat mehsoos ho rahi thi. Bahar ab bhi andhera tha jisse maine andaza lagaya ke ya toh ek baar phir ek bahut lambe time tak behosh tha, din hokar phir se raat ho chuki thi ya mere sar par kiya gaya vaar abhi thodi der pehle ki hi baat thi aur subah abhi tak hui nahi thi.
Main us waqt ek chhote se kamre mein tha, chaaro taraf andhera tha aur kamre ke ek kone mein ek zero watt ka bulb jal raha tha jiski laal rang ki halki si roshni kamre mein pheli hui thi.
Kamra poori tarah khaali tha, ya us halki roshni mein jitna main dekh saka utna hissa toh khaali hi tha, sivaay bulb ke niche rakhi ek purani si table aur kamre ke beech rakhi us chair ke jis par main bandha betha tha. Mujhe kamre ka darwaza kahin nazar nahi aa raha tha toh maine andaza lagaya ke vo mere pichhe ki taraf tha. Maine gardan ghuma kar dekhna chaha par chair ka backrest kaafi ooncha tha aur main sar zyada ghuma nahi paya. Ulte aisa karne ki koshish mein mera sar chair ke backrest se halka sa laga aur chot ki vajah se dard ki ek lehar mere poore sar mein daud gayi.
"Aaah"Main dard ki vajah se karah utha aur theek usi waqt mujhe pichhe se ek aahat sunai di. Main samajh gaya ke kamre mein mere alawa koi aur bhi maujood tha jo mere pichhe darwaze ki taraf betha tha.
Main samajh gaya ke mere pichhe kaun hoga.
"Ye sab kuchh is tarah khatam hoga socha nahi tha"Maine bina ghoome hi apne pichhe khade shakhs se baat karni shuru ki"Par sawal ye hai ke ye sab hua kyun aur kaise?"
Mere pichhe se koi jawab nahi aaya.
"Aur doosra sawal ye hai ke Saanwli mujhe jaanti kaise thi?"
Phir ek khamoshi. Phir hui aahat se is baat ka toh mujhe yakeen ho gaya tha ke mere pichhe koi maujood hai par jawab koi nahi aaya.
"Bahar aa ja Khan, main janta hoon ke tu hi hai"Maine lambi saans chhodte hue kaha.
Uske baad thodi der tak koi aahat nahi hui, koi aawaz nahi aur phir kamre ke deewar par lagi tube-light jal uthi. Kamra roshni se naha utha, kisi ke uthkar chalne ki aawaz hui aur vo mere saamne aa khada hua.
Mera dost, mera sabse achha dost, mera eklauta dost, mere bachpan ka yaar, mera bhai.
"I mourned for you man"Maine uske chehre ki taraf dekhte hue kaha jispar ab halki halki daadhi ug aayi thi"Tera maut ka afsos manaya tha maine, apne bhai ki laash par aansoo bahaye the"
Vo ek baar phir chal kar mere pichhe ki taraf gaya, ek kursi utha kar laya aur mere saamne rakh kar beth gaya. Uske haath mein ek pistol thi jiska rookh meri taraf tha.
"Ab ye din aa gaye hain tere mere beech? Ek doosre par bandook taan rahe hain?"Maine pistol ki taraf dekha aur haste hue kaha.
Mere baat ka koi jawab diye bina vo kursi par aaram se tek laga kar beth gaya. Pistol ab bhi meri taraf taani hui thi.
"Kahan hain ham log?"Maine kamre mein dekhte hue kaha.
"Khandala ke paas, ye ek chhota sa rest house kharida hua hai mainem jungle ke beech mein hai, aas paas koi aur ghar nahi"Usne meri taraf dekhte hue jawab diya.
"Kabse behosh hoon main?"
"Kal raat se"
Maine chair ke hand-rest par bandhe hue apne haathon ki taraf dekha aur phir nazar utha kar Khan ki taraf.
"Batayega ya mujhe puchhna hi padega sab kuchh?"
"Puchh hi le yaar, main kya kya bataoonga"Vo thandi si aah bharta hua bola.
"Sab kuchh bata, sab kuchh"Maine apni aawaz sakhte karte hue bola"Shuru kar Saanwli se, kya kissa tha?"
"Pagal thi, pyaar karti thi mujhse aur shaadi karna chahti thi"
"Toh tune use maar diya?"
"Nahi, main bhi pyaar karta tha par phir use meri asliyat ka pata chal gaya"
"Pratap Raghuvanshi?"
"Haan"
"Walk me through it man, walk me through. Tu ye Raghuvanshi kaise ho gaya?"
"Lamba kissa hai yaar, bas yun samajh le ke police evidence room se chori ki gayi aur raids mein pakdi gayi drugs ko bechna shuru kar diya tha maine. Baat itni badh jaayegi socha nahi tha. Main toh bas thodi uper ki kamai karna chahta tha par phir dheere dheere mamla itna badh gaya ke aaj ki tareekh mein Mumbai ki aadhe se zyada drugs supply ko main control karta hoon"
"Aur koi nahi janta ke Pratap Raghuvanshi kaun hai?"
"Sivaay Sharafat ke"
"Saanwli is sab mein kahan fit hoti hai?"
"Us din Sharafat ke Bar mein betha tha main. Vo mere saamne hi aakar Sharafat se naukri chhodne ki baat karne lagi. Sharafat nashe mein tha, kehne laga ke waitress ki naukri chhudva kar use dhandha karvayega. Zabardasti uske saath khincha taani karne laga aur phir mujhe pata nahi kya hua ke main beech mein aa gaya. Us waqt main Sharafat ke liye sirf ek mamuli policewala tha jo usko drugs supply karta tha isliye usne meri bhi nahi suni"
"Aur tab tune Sharafat ke sar par bandook laga kar Saanwli ko vahan se nikaal liya"
"Haan aur phir ham milne lage, ishq vishq ho gaya aur phir ek din use pata chal gaya ke main asal mein ek policewala hoon"
"Tera naam bhi?"
"Nahi asli naam toh use mera bahut baad mein pata chala. Us waqt toh sirf ye pata chala tha ke main police mein hoon"
"Phir kya kahani sunayi tune?"
"Yahi ke main asal mein undercover hoon aur drugs racket ko khatam karne ki koshish kar raha hoon"
"Yeah right"Maine tana maarne wale andaaz mein hasa"Aur vo maan gayi?"
"Khush bhi bahut hui ke uska boyfriend ek bahadur policewala hai, jasoos type"
"Phir?"
"Phir ham milte rahe. Ek jhooth ko chhupane ke liye maine hazaar jhooth bole. Main janta tha ke meri asliyat ka vo sabse bada loop hole hai isliye hamesha use fake IDs par registered number hi deta jin par vo mujhe call karti par aakhir asliyat kab tak chhupti. Zamane se chhupa sakta tha par us aurat se kaise chhupata jo mere saath so rahi thi. Ek din use sab pata chal gaya"
"Ke tu drug mafia hai?"
"Haan ke mera asli naam Khan hai aur Raghuvanshi ke naam se drug racket chala raha hoon"
"Phir?"
"Phir mujhe laga tha ke samajh jaayegi par bahut hi sachi sharafat ki moorti nikli. Mujhe dhamki dene lagi ke main sab chhod doon varna mujhe pakadva degi. Shayad vo ye ummeed kar rahi thi ke mujhe darayegi toh main is sabse bahar nikal jaoonga aur use phir se apna hero boyfriend vaapis mil jaayega"
"Yeah i can understand. Jisko vo bhagwan maan rahi thi vahi shaitan nikla toh samajh sakta hoon ke use kaisa laga hoga. Toh kya uski ye bhagwan phir se vaapis paane ki koshish rang laayi?"
"Nahi, tab tak main bahut aage nikal chuka tha aur shayad use bhi ye ehsaas hone laga tha ke main badloonga nahi"
"Mara kyun use?"
"Vo eklauti thi jo meri asliyat jaanti thi aur us waqt vo mujhe chhodne ki soch rahi thi. Main itna bada chance nahi le sakta tha aur shayad use bhi apni jaan ka khatra mehsoos hone laga tha"
"Is sab mein main kahan fit hota hoon?"
"Mil chuka tha tu usse"Khan ne kaha.
"Seriously, kab? I dont remember at all"
"Ek baar party mein mila tha, nashe mein dhut tha tu us waqt. Main Saanwli ke saath ek pub mein gaya aur vahan tu akela betha pi raha tha. Tu mujhe dekhte hi mere gale pad gaya. Ye us waqt ki baat hai jab vo meri asliyat nahi jaanti thi. Kahin tu mera asli naam uske aage na bol de is darr se main vahan se to uske saath jaldi nikal aaya par phir mujhe use tere baare mein batana pada"
"Aisa kya bataya tune use ke usne apni behan ko mere paas bhej diya?"
"Usne bheja tha?"
"Haan Saloni ne mujhe bataya ke usne khud phone karke apni behan ko mere paas aane ko kaha tha"
"Aur kya bataya?"
"Aur baat kar hi rahe the ke tune mere sar pe vaar kar diya"
"Maine sirf ye kaha tha ke tu ek jasoos hai, private detective. Jab main vahan se aise jaldi jaldi tujhse bachkar nikla toh vo puchhne lagi ke ham aise bhaag kyun aaye. Toh maine baat taalne ke liye keh diya ke tu ek jasoos hai aur bada imandaar aadmi hai , kaafi pehchan hai teri aur agar mujhe yun tere saath dekha jata toh mera undercover hone ka bhada phoot jata. Uske baad tune koi bahut bada haath mara tha, koi case resolve karne mein aur newspapers mein teri kaafi badha chadha kar tareef ki gayi thi. Aur yahin shayad mujhse bhi galti ho gayi thi. Usne newspaper mujhe dikhaya toh maine haste hue keh diya tha ke agar tu toh aisa hai ke agar waqt pada toh mujhe bhi pakadva dega, agar maine kuchh galat kiya toh"
"Aur isi bharose usne marnse se pehle apni behan ko shayad keh diya tha ke agar use kuchh ho jaaye toh vo sidhi mere paas aa jaaye. Vaise laash ka kya kiya uski?"
"Yahin bahar dafan hai"Khan ne khidki se bahar ki taraf ishara kiya.
"Joshi ko bhi tune mara tha?"
"Haan"
"Kyun?"
"Shak ho gaya tha use mujhpar. Usne bhi vahi trail pakad li thi jo tune padki thi. Shuru shuru ke dino mein Saanwli ne mere asli number par calls ki thi, vo call records Joshi ne pull karva liye the"
"Aur jinke baare mein vo mujhse bhi baat karna chah raha tha?"
"Haan"
"Toh tune usko mara par case phir tere paas kaise aa gaya?"
"Itni toh pehchan hai meri bhi yaar. Use chalta kiya, ek do phones kiye aur uski jagah par apna transfer kara liya"
"Aur itna panic kisliye?"
"Kyunki mere hazaar baar kehne par bhi tu ye case se haath khinchne ko taiyyar nahi tha"
"Geetanjali?"
"Vahi photo jo tu dekh raha tha. Usne mujhe Saanwli ke saath dekh liya tha"
"Ye usne tujhe kyun bataya?"
"Nahi bataya tha, pehle tujhe phone kiya tha par tune uthaya nahi. Phir usne mujhe phone kiya ye batane ke liye tu meri girlfriend ko dhoondhta phir raha hai"
"Toh tu uske ghar ja pahuncha aur use chalta kar diya?"
"Haan"
"Kyun?"
"Risk nahi le sakta tha, use pata kuchh nahi tha par main loose end chhodna nahi chahta tha"
"Bijli?"
"Sharafat ki vajah se vo jaanti thi ke main Raghuvanshi hoon. Der sawer use toh marna hi tha par filhal mere kaam aa rahi thi isliye maine zinda chhod rakha tha. Par phir jab tune usse phone karke mere baare mein puchha toh uska number bhi lag gaya"
"Nisha aur uska mangetar?"
"Chahta nahi tha ke maar doon par us din hostel ke bahar main uska pichha kar raha tha aur usne mujhe dekh liya"
"Phir?"
"Phir use bhi vahi kahani sunayi jo Saanwli ko sunayi thi ke main undercover hoon aur ye sara maut ek natak hai jiske baare mein tujhe bhi nahi pata. Behla phusla kar apne saath le gaya aur phir ....."Usne baat adhuri chhod di.
"Use nahi marna chahiye tha tujhe, use nahi marna chahiye tha"Main gusse mein daant piste hue bola.
"Meri galti nahi hai, mere uper mat daal. Tere haath jod raha tha shuru se ke ye case chhod de, agar tune meri baat maan li hoti toh aisa kuchh nahi hota"
"Sahi hai. Sala drugs beche tu, gundagardi kare tu, khoon kare tu aur galti meri nikal raha hai? Ye jo phone tune mujhe diya tha ismein tracking on kar rakhi thi na? Meri calls sun raha tha? Tabhi tujhe pata chala ke maine Bijli se kya baat ki, Nisha se kya kaha?"Maine us phone ke baare mein puchha jo Khan ne mujhe dekar purana phone mujhse le liya tha.
"Haan"
"Ab? Ab kya karna hai?"
"Tere uper hai"
"Matlab?"
"Matlab ke bhool ja sab kuchh, apna munh band rakh"
"Aur acting karun ke kuchh hua hi nahi, koi mara hi nahi?"
"Haan"
"Aur mere uper jo khoon ke ilzaam hain vo?"
"Main sambhal loonga"
"Kaise? Tu toh khud mar chuka hai? Vaise ek baat bata, apni maut ka natak kaise kiya?"
"Simple tha yaar, us din sab acting chal rahi thi tujhe ye yakeen dilvane ke liye ke maine Sharafat ko uksaya aur usne mujhe goli maar di"
"Marne ka natak kyun?"
"Dohri zindagi jeete jeete pareshan ho gaya tha aur uper se tu bhi pichha nahi chhod raha tha"
"To apni asli pehchan chhodkar tune Raghuvanshi banna behtar samjha?"
"Fayda zyada Raghuvanshi bankar jeene mein tha"
"Vo laash jo samundar se mili?"
"Meri kad kaathi ka tha ek aadmi, shakal buri tarah se bigaad di thi aur post-mortem reports mein thodi hera pheri karva kar saabit kara diya ke vo laash meri hi thi"
"Tere boodhe maan baap?"
Is baat ka Khan ne koi jawab nahi diya.
"Chipku kahan hai?"Maine puchha toh usne uper ki taraf anguli uthayi ke vo bhi mar chuka hai.
"Use kyun mara?"
"Bahar khada hua tha vo gate par, aur mujhe tujhe utha kar bahar le jana tha. Use marta nahi toh kya karta?"
Kamre mein phir kuchh pal ke liye khamoshi chha gayi.
"Ab tu bol ke tune kya decide kiya hai"Thodi der baad usne mujhse puchha.
"Karna kya hai, bandook tere haath mein hai. Tu bata ke kya karna hai"
"Vahi jo maine kaha, munh band rakh apna"
"Theek hai"Maine jhooth bolte hue kaha. Is waqt agar main usse behas karta toh vo mujhe bhi maar sakta tha"Haath khol mere"
"Koshish mat karna kuchh"Kehkar vo utha aur mere haath kholne laga. Maine kamre mein chaaro taraf nazar daudayi, kuchh aisa dhoondhne ke liye jise main hathyaar ke taur par istemaal kar sakun. Vo mera dost sahi par jo usne kiya tha uske liye main use maaf nahi kar sakta tha, apna munh band nahi rakh sakta tha.
Usne rassiyan khol kar mere haath chhuda diya. Main apni kalaiyan malta hua uth khada hua aur uski aankhon mein aankhen dalkar dekha.
"Tu mera bhai nahi hai, tu vo hai hi nahi jo mera eklauta dost tha. Tu toh koi aur hai jise main maaf nahi kar sakta"
Ye kehkar maine ek saath se uska vo haath pakad liya jismein pistol thi aur doosre haath se uski gardan. Vo ek pal ke liye chaunka par phir sambhal kar mujhse bhid pada. Kad kaathi mein ham dono hi barabar the isliye kisi ek ka doosre par kaabu pana mushkil tha.
Thodi der tak ham yun hi ek doosre se bhide rahe. Vo apne pistol wala haath chhudane ki koshish kar raha tha aur main uske haath se pistol chhudane ki koshish. Ham dono ka poora dhyaan us pistol ki taraf tha aur isi khincha-taani mein vahi hua jo hona tha aur jaisa ke aksar hamari hindi movies mein hota hai, goli chal gayi.
Aur mere pet mein ja dhansi. Khan par meri pakad dheeli pad gayi aur ladkhada kar main neeche gir pada.
Main ummeed kar raha tha ke vo shayad mujhse sambhalne ki koshish karega ya kam se kam mujhe goli lagne par thoda pareshan hoga par aisa hua nahi. Maine bejaan sa neeche ja gira aur vo khada mujhe dekhta raha. Vo shayad is baat ke liye taiyyar hokar aaya tha ke agar maine uski baat nahi maani toh vo mujhe maar dega isliye mera yun goli kha kar girna uske liye koi achambhe ki baat nahi thi.
"You should have listened to me man"Kehte hue uske apni gardan inkaar karne ke andaaz mein hilayi aur palat kar kamre ki khidki se bahar dekhne laga, shayad ye pakka karne ke liye ke goli ki aawaz sunkar koi bahar is taraf aa toh nahi raha.
Maine apne haath neeche ki taraf le jakar apne joote mein phasi hui pocket pistol nikali jo ab tak vahin thi aur jo ke shayad Khan ki nazar se bach gayi thi.
"Khan"Maine himmat karke thodi oonchi aawaz mein kaha.
Vo palta, mere haath mein pistol dekhi jo uski taraf uthi hui thi aur isse pehle ke vo kuchh kar pata, maine ghoda khinch diya. Goli sidhe uske maathe se thoda neeche uski naak ke paas jakar lagi. Uska shareer jhatka kha kar pichhe deewar se takraya aur neeche ja gira.
Aur ab mein yahan pada uski laash ki taraf dekh raha hoon. Jab usne marne ka natak kiya tha tab bhi goli yun hi uske sar par lagi thi, farq sirf itna tha ke tab vo natak kar raha tha, beh raha khoon nakli tha aur uska chehra theek tha par ab maut asli hai, khoon asli hai aur uska chehra bigad chuka hai. Jo ke shayad uske zinda rehte hi bigad gaya tha, Khan se badal kar Pratap Raghuvanshi ka ho gaya tha.
Goli mere pet mein lagi hai aur black blood behkar shareer se bahar aa raha hai jiska matlab ye hai ke mere paas zyada waqt nahi hai.

THE END
nice kahani ...dekhte hai kaun aaya hai jiske chalte hero ki life badal jayegi ..lagta hai aditya middle class se hai aur note likhkar khudko motivate kar raha hai par aisa ho nahi raha .Chapter 1 - Saloni
Vo ek normal sa din tha, par mujhe koi idea nahi tha ke us din se mere liye museebaton ka ek aisa silsila shuru hone wala tha jiska andaza main shayad khwaab mein bhi nahi laga sakta tha.
Agar mujhe zara bhi pata hota ke aane waledino mein mere saath kya hone wala hai toh shayad main us din subah sokar uthta hinahi ya uthte hi kahin bhaag jata. Chhutti par chala jata, kahin ghoomne nikal jata, bhale hi tirath yatra par chala jata par shehar se nikal jata. Par maine aisa kuchh nahi kiya. Vo ek aam sa din tha aur maine vahi kiya jo main ek aam se din mein karta tha.
Apna boss khud hone ka sabse bada fayda ye hota hai ke you are not answerable to anyone. Jo karna hai aapne karna hai. Koi puchhne wala nahi, koi batane wala nahi. Jab marzi mein aaye utho, jab dil kare so jao. Jab chaho kaam par jao aur jab mood na bane tab mat jao.
Kehne ka matlab ye ke mere 9 baje sokar uthne ki vajah sirf yahi thi ke main apna boss khud tha.
Aur us din toh had ho gayi thi. Maine aankh kholkar ek nigah ghadi par daali toh subah ke 10 baj rahe the.
"Uth ja mohan pyaare" Apne aap se kehta hua main bistar par uth betha.
Saamne deewar par lage poster par bada bada likha tha,
"You wont get rich sitting here all day"
Vo poster maine ye soch kar lagaya tha ke shayad vo mujhe motivate karega. Jab main aalas mein betha time paas karunga toh mujhe yaad dilayega ke mujhe kaam karna chahiye kyunki mujhe zindagi mein ameer hona hai. Ek bada sa ghar kharidna hai, ek lambi si gaadi leni hai. Bank balance itna badha dena hai ke Bank bhi balance na kar paaye.
Par nahi, aisa kuchh bhi nahi ho raha tha. Na toh main ameer ho raha tha aur na hi voposter mujhe motivate kar pa raha tha.
"Yeah i know. I am not getting rich anywaysso doesnt matter" Khud se kehta hua main bed se utha aur bathroom ki taraf badha.
Cell phone mein 10 missed calls thi par maine uth kar dekhne ki zaroorat nahi samjhi. Janta tha ke missed calls kiski thi.
Routine ke mutaabik stove par chaai rakhi aur music system on kar diya. Kamra Rafi sahab ki meethi aawaz se goonj utha.
Khoya khoya chand, khula aasman ......
Unki sur mein apni besuri aawaz milata main sofe par beth gaya aur ek cigrette jalayi.
Mera maanna tha ke Hindustan mein 3 hi singers aise hue jinki na koi barabari kar paya aur na hi koi unse aage nikal paya. Ek Rafi Sahab, Ek lata Mangeshkar aur teesre Kishore Da. Mere poore music collection mein 70% songs sirf in 3 singers ke hi the.
Sofe par betha chaai banne ka intezaar karte hue main cigarette ke kash laga hi raha tha ke darwaze ki ghanti baji.
Kaash mujhe pata hota ke darwaza kholne par mere saath kya hone wala hai toh main darwaza kholta hi nahi. Saara din balki aanewale 7 din aur kamre mein hi band betha rehta par darwaza bilkul nahi kholta. Par nahi, maine darwaza khola. Poora khola.
"Aditya? Aditya Sharma?"
_________________________
nice update ..saloni aayi hai aditya ka ghar internet se address pata karke ,,aur usko apni behen ki talash karni hai jo laapta hai ..Vo koi 25 se 30 saal ke beech ki, aam si dikhne wali ladki thi. Halka sawla rang, medium kad kaathi, lambe baal.
"Ji haan" Maine jawab diya. "Kahiye?"
"Ji mera naam Saloni hai, kya main aapse thodi der baat kar sakti hoon?"
Mujhe mana kar dena chahiye tha, apne kaano par haath rakh lene chahiye the, munh pher kar darwaza band kar dena chahiye tha par nahi, maine aisa kuchh nahikiya.
"Ji zaroor. Kahiye" Maine jawab diya.
"Kya main andar aa sakti hoon?"
"Sure, Please" Darwaze se hatkar side hote hue maine jagah banayi aur vo andar aa gayi.
"Bethiye" Maine couch ki taraf ishara karte hue kaha "Chaai lengi aap?"
"Ji nahi thanks" Usne muskurate hue kaha.
"Its no problem" Main kitchen ki taraf badhte hue bola "Maine stove par rakhi hui hai, ban hi gayi hogi"
2 cups mein chaai dalkar main vaapis living room mein aaya. Ek cup use diya aur doosracup lekar khud uske saamne beth gaya.
"Kahiye"
"Ji aapke baare mein Internet par padha. Aapke office gayi thi, kaafi intezaar kiya parvo band tha. Internet se hi aapke ghar ka bhi address mil gaya tha toh yahan chali aayi"
"Office band tha?" Maine dil hi dil mein socha. Nisha toh subah 9 baje tak office pahunch jaati hai.
"I hope its not a problem" Uski aawaz se mera dhyaan toota "Ke main yahan aapke ghar aise chali aayi"
"Nahi koi baat nahi" Nisha aur office ki taraf se dhyaan hatate hue main bola"Kahiye main aapke liye kya kar sakta hoon?"
"Ji vo maine internet par hi padha tha ke aap missing logon ko dhoondhne mein madad karte hain?"
"Ji haan meri ek chhoti si agency hai aur ham missing person mein deal karte hain" Maine kaha.

Is kahani ko padhte hue aap 1 minute bhi nhi ho sakte .nice update ..saloni aayi hai aditya ka ghar internet se address pata karke ,,aur usko apni behen ki talash karni hai jo laapta hai ..
mast update ..ye aditya ka dimaag tharipan se bhara hua hai aisa lagta hai ..saawli naam hai ladki ka jo ek saal pehle mumbai job karne ke liye aayi thi aur kuch mahino se usne apne ghar pe call karna kar kar diya ..aisa kya hua uske saath ki ab wo ek call bhi nahi kar rahi ..Maine ek nazar use sar se paon tak dekha. Ek behad aam si dikhne wali ladki.
Usko dekh kar hi ye lagta tha ke vo ek middle class family se hai. Ek behad sada sa salwar kameez, gale mein dupatta, lambe baal, medium kad kaathi, halka bhara hua shareer, sawla sa rang.
"So?" Apni taraf dekhte yun pakar usne mujhe toka.
"So what?" Maine jawab diya.
""Kya aap karenge meri madad?"
Uski baat sun kar main muskura utha.
"Dekhiye Saloni ji its not that easy. Ye depend karta hai"
"Kis baat par?"
"Bahut saari baaton par" Maine chaai ka cup ek taraf rakhte hue cigarette sulgayi aur packet uski taraf badhaya "Do you smoke?"
"No thanks" Usne inkaar mein sar hilaya. Vaise toh usko dekh kar hi main samajh gaya tha ke cigarette nahin peeti hogi par phir bhi formality sake puchh liya.
"Main aise hi khade paon koi case haath mein nahi le sakta. Bahut saari baatein hoti hain. Mujhe details sunni hogi aur uske baadhi faisla kar sakta hoon ke main case loongaya nahi"
"Fair enough. Vaise aapne abhi thodi der pehle kaha tha ke HAM missing persons mein deal karte hain. Kya aapke alawa koi aur bhi hai?"
"Nahi nahi" Maine haste hue kaha "Main akela hi hoon. Ek secretary hai jo office sambhalti hai isliye kabhi kabhi munh se ham nikal jata hai"
"Ok" Vo bhi jawab mein muskurayi.
"So. Lets start from the very begining. Why dont you tell me somethng about yourself and your sister?"
"Ok" Usne apne gale mein pada dupatta thoda theek gaya aur aadat se majboor meri tharki nazar ek pal ke liye uske dupatte ke neeche uski chhatiyon par pad gayi.
"36 kam se kam" Aur mere tharki dimag ne uske size ka andaza bhi laga liya.
"Ham log asal mein U.P se hain. Saharanpur,chhota sa shehar hai, shayad aapne suna ho"
"Ji haan suna hai" Maine apna dhyaan uski chhatiyon se hataya aur uski baat gaur se sunne laga.
"Ji ham log vahin se hain. Ghar mein sirf 4 log hain, mere mummy papa aur ham do sisters. Koi saal bhar pehle meri chhoti behen ham sab ki marzi ke khilaff Mumbai aa gayi thi"
"Let me guess" Main beech mein bola"Movies mein kaam karne ke liye?"
"Nahi" Meri baat sunkar vo halke se has padi "Mujhe dekh kar aap andaza toh laga hi sakte hain ke meri behen bhi koi aisi khoobsurat nahi hogi"
"But i am sure size toh uska bhi kam se kam36 hi hoga" Mere tharki dimag ka ghoda phir dauda. Maine fauran lagam lagayi aur kaabu mein kiya.
"Toh phir?"
"Ji vo yahan job ki talash mein aayi thi. Bahut ambitious thi aur Saharanpur jaise chhote shehar mein options ke naam par kuchh bhi nahi hai"
"Ok. And did she find a job here?"
"Yes she did or at least she told us that she did" Uski is baat par mera dimag thanka.
"You didnt know for sure? Kab mili thi aap aakhri baar usse?" Maine sawal kiya.
"Jis din vo Mumbai aane ke liye Delhi se train mein bethi thi" Usne sar jhukate hue kaha.
"Aapne ek saal se apni behen ko nahi dekha tha?"
"Nahi. Vo yahan aayi aur job ki talash mein lag gayi. Aanke ke koi ek mahine baad usne bataya ke usko job mil gayi hai. Kisi office mein assistant ki job. Kaafi khush thi vo us din"
"Ok" Maine cigarette khatam ki aur ash traymein bhujhate hue kaha "Carry on"
"Uske baad agle 6 mahine tak vo rozana shaam ko phone karti thi aur ham logon se baat karti thi. Apne poore din ke baare mein bataya karti thi. Apni job ke baare mein bataya karti thi. Phir dheere dheere uska phone aana kam ho gaya. Pehle 2 din mein ek baar, phir 4 din mein ek baar aur phir hafte do hafte mein ek baar. Hamne puchha toh kehti thi ke job change ki hai, kaam mein bahut busy hai isliye"
"Aakhri baar kab baat ki thi aapne usse?"
"Ji koi 1 mahina pehle. Usne ek din raat ko phone kiya. Mummy Daddy so chuke the tohsirf mujhse baat hui. Kaafi pareshan lag rahithi. Koi 10-15 minute baat ki aur phir baad mein phone karne ka keh kar phone rakh diya. Bas, uske baad phone nahi kiya"
"Ek mahine se aapko apni behen ka phone nahi aaya aur aap log pareshan nahi hue?" Maine sawal kiya
"Hue toh the par uska phone tab aise hi aata tha. Hafte do hafte mein kabhi kabhi aur vo bhi sirf 100-15 minute ke liye. Is baarjab 5 hafte guzar gaye aur phone nahi aaya toh main pareshan hui. Kaafi din se uska mobile bhi switched off ja raha tha. Mujhe laga ke shayad number badal diya hoga"
"Hmmmmm" Maine sochte hue kaha"Naam kya hai aapki behen ka?"
"Saawli" Usne jawab diya
"Ek behen Saawli aur doosri saloni. Saawli Saloni" Maine naam milate hue kaha
"Ji haan" Usne bhi muskura kar jawab diya.
"Aur dono ka size 36" Mera tharki dimag phir zor se chillaya.

nice update ..aditya ne ladki me gum hone ke reason to soch liye usme se rape aur murder sahi lagta hai .."Aap police ke paas yun nahi gayi? Ya gayi thi?" Maine sawalon ka silsila jaari rakha.
"Gayi thi. Kal FIR darj karayi maine"Usne jawab diya.
"Phir bhi aap yahan mere saamne bethi hain. Is baat ka matlab main ye nikalun ke aapko police par bharosa nahi ya aap apni behen se behad mohabbat karti hain aur uski talash mein you dont wanna leave any stone unturned?"
"Dono" Usna mere lambe se sawal ka chhota sa jawab diya.
"Hmmm" Maine sochte hue phir cigarette jalayi "Ye toh hue basics. I will need some more details"
"Jaise ke?" Usne phir dupatta theek kiya, meri nazar phir lalchayi par is baar kismet ne saath nahi diya.
"Jaise ke vo kahan kaam karti thi, kahan rehti thi, uske dost kaun kaun the vagerah vagerah"
"Uske doston ke baare mein toh main nahi jaanti, kabhi usne bataya hi nahi. Kahan kaam karti thi main ye bhi nahi jaanti kyunki usne sirf itna bataya tha ke kisi private office mein assistant ki job karti hai.Par haan, main ye jaanti hoon ke vo kahan rehti hai aur shayad usse hi aapko aapke pehle do sawalon ke jawab bhi mil jaayen" Vo boli.
"Matlab?" Main uski baat ka matlab samajh toh gaya tha par phir bhi uske munh se sunne ke liye sawal puchh dala.
"I mean vo ek ladies hostel mein rehti thi, you know what i mean?. Working women hostel. Paying guest type, outstation auraton ke liye"
"Haan main samajh gaya" Maine jawab diya "Vahan saath rehne wali ladkiyon ko shayad pata ho ke vo kahan kaam karti thi"
"Yep aur uske doston ke baare mein bhi vo ladkiyan bata sakti hain. Balki vo ladkiyan sab uski dost hi hongi"
"Yep. True. We can ask them" Maine kaha.
"Toh kya main ise aapki haan samjhun?" Usne vo sawal puchha jiska jawab mujhe namein dena tha par aisa hua nahi.
Case dekhne mein bahut simple lag raha tha. Ek outstation ladki jo Mumbai mein rehti thi, kaam karti thi pichhle ek mahine se gayab hai. Ye koi nayi baat nahi thi. Aisa toh Mumbai aur Mumbai hi kya Hindustan ke har shehar mein roz-marra ki si baat hai.Log aksar kho jaate hain. Kabhi kabhi vo milte hain aur kabhi kabhi unki laash aur kabhi kabhi dono mein se kuchh bhi nahi.
Aise cases mein pehle bhi handle kar chuka tha. Log khote hain toh 2 hi suraten nikalti hain. Ya toh vo apni marzi se gayab hain ya apni marzi ke khilaff. Agar marzi se gayab hote hain toh aksar mil jaate hain aur phir mera kaam khatam ho jata hai. Vo kyun gayab hue, kya vajah thi ye unki aur unke gharwalo ki sardardi hoti hai, isse mera kuchh lena dena nahi.
Haan agar apni marzi ke khilaff gayab hon toh ismein bhi 2 suraten nikalti hain. Ya toh vo agva yaani ke kidnap hue ya phir unke saath kuchh anhoni hui. Agar kidnap huen toh aksar ransom call aa jaati hai aur mamla sulat jata hai. Ya toh insaan ghar aa jata hai ya uski laash ka pata mil jata hai. Agar anhoni hui ho toh bhi der sawer pata lag hi jata hai.
Case ek ladki ka tha aur mujhe shuru mein hi andaza ho gaya tha ke kya hua hoga. Agar paise ke liye kidnap hui hoti toh ab tak ransom call aa jaani chahiye thi par aisa hua nahi. Aur uski behen ko dekh kar ye andaza ho hi raha tha ke vo koi bahut ameer gharane ki ladki nahi thi toh ye option toh maine shuru mein hi rule out kar diya tha.
Yaani option number 2 jo ki hamare desh mein ladkiyon ke gayab hone ki sabse badi vajah hoti hai. Aise ayyash kism ke log jo apni tharak mitane ke liye rape ki hadh tak chale jaayen, aise logon ki hamare desh mein koi kami nahi. Ladki ko uthana, uske saath zabardasti karna aur phir kahin use ya uski body ko dump kar dena inke liye koi badi baat nahi hoti aur yahi possibility mujhe is case mein bhi lag rahi thi.
Kisi ne use kidnap kiya, uska rape kiya, aur kyunki ek mahine se uska koi pata nahi toh ye mana ja sakta tha ke rape ke baad uski jaan li aur ab uski laash kahin kisi naale mein padi sad rahi hogi. Aakhri andaza maine is baat se lagaya ke uske ghar par abtak uski maut ki khabar nahi gayi thi toh isliye agar uski jaan li gayi hai aur kisi ko uska pata nahi toh matlab ke laash bhi ab tak mili nahi.
Kul milakar case aasan lag raha tha. Mujhe laga ke main pehle bhi aise cases mein deal kar chuka hoon toh koi badi baat nahi hai.
"Theek hai i will take the case. Aap aaj shaam ko mere office aa jaiyega, kuchh papers vagerah sign karne ke liye aur meri fees vagerah discuss karne ke liye.Baaki ki details bhi main aapse tab hi le loonga"
"Great" Vo ekdam se khush ho uthi aur tab pehli baar mera dhyaan uski badi badi chhatiyon se hatkar uski aankhon ki taraf gaya. Kuchh ajeeb si baat thi uski aankhon mein, ek ajeeb si kashish"
"Aur haan, shaam ko aate hue apni behen kiek tasveer please le aaiyega"
"Vo toh abhi hai hamare paas" Usne apne bag mein haath dala aur ek photo nikal kar meri taraf badhayi. Maine tasveer apne haath mein li aur ek nazar daali.
"Ye toh aapki photo hai" Maine uski taraf dekhte hue kaha. Photo mein jo ladki thi aurmere saamne jo ladki bethi thi vo hubahu ek hi thi, sivaay kapdon ke.
"Nahi vo meri behen hi hai. Ham judva hain.Shakal soorat ekdam 100% milti hai" Usne meri baat ka jawab diya.
