Part 2
Update 2
Main wahan se seedha ghar aaya aur apne room mein chala gaya. Mere dimaag mein kaafi kuch chal raha tha. Woh pal, jab maine Masoom ko khoya, mere liye ek bhayanak yaad ban gaya tha. Woh pal, uski muskaan, uski aankhon mein chhupi hui khushi — ab sab kuch dhundhla ho gaya tha. Mere haath kaanp rahe the, aur main apna aapa kho raha tha. Gussa aur dard dono ek saath mehsoos ho rahe the. Yeh sab kuch aise hi kyun ho raha tha?
Mujhe yaad aaya, meri cigarette ki packet kahan gayi thi, jo main aksar apne akele waqt mein chhupakar peeta tha. Aaj tak main is baare mein kabhi nahi bola, lekin aaj yeh sab saamne aa gaya tha. Shayad yeh mere andar ka sabse gehra raaz tha.
Tabhi, kisi ne cigarette meri taraf badhayi. Maine bina kisi soch-vichar ke usse le liya aur jaldi se peene laga. Phir, balcony ki taraf badha, hawa mein dhua udaate hue. Thodi der baad, maine apne dil ko thoda shaanti di.
Lekin aachanak mujhe yaad aaya ki yeh cigarette kisne di thi. Maine cigarette ko flower pot mein bujhaya aur peeche mudkar dekha. Neha wahan khadi thi.
Main uske paas gaya aur cigarette ki packet uske haath se chhin li.
"Neha, tum yeh packet kyun uthayi thi? Tumhara dimaag theek hai na?" Main thoda gussa hote hue bola.
Neha dheere se boli, "Woh yahan table par paani gir gaya tha, toh maine apne paas rakh li thi."
Main thoda regret karte hue bola, "Ohh, sorry. Main tum par chillaya. Par tum yeh sab apne saath kyun rakh rahi ho? Yeh dekhna bhi mat karo, pata hai isse aanewale bachche par asar pad sakta hai."
Neha ne thoda pyaar bhari awaaz mein kaha, "Aap kyun pareshan ho rahe ho? Sab theek hai."
Main thoda samajh nahi paaya, "Haan, main bas thoda aise hi… sab kuch thik hai."
Neha ne thoda soch kar kaha, "Kya aapne ab tak kisi ko bataya hai ki main maa banne wali hoon?"
Main thoda dheere se jawab diya, "Tum jaanti ho, main aisa nahi kar sakta."
Neha ki aankhon mein thoda dard tha, "Toh kya aap kehna chahte hain ki hamara baccha bina kisi naam ke is duniya mein aayega?"
Us baat ne mujhe chhuka diya. Mere liye yeh ek bohot gehra sawaal tha. Kya hum is naye safar ko bina kisi naam ke shuru kar sakte hain?
Mujhe apne dil ki sunni thi, lekin is faisle ka asar na sirf hum dono par, balki aane wali zindagi par bhi padna tha. Main bas Neha ki aankhon mein dekhta raha, aur mehsoos kiya ki yeh sirf ek baat nahi, ek nayi zindagi ka aaghaz hai.
Main - "Neha, aisa mat socho. Main bas nahi chahta ki aur muskilein aayein."
Neha - "Kya matlab hai muskiloon se aapka?"
Main - "Nahi, nahi. Shayad muskilein sahi nahi hain, shayad musibatein aa jaayein."
Neha - "Kya bakwas hai yeh sab? Aap aisa soch bhi kaise sakte hain? Hamara baccha kya musibat hai aapke liye?"
Main - "Nahi Neha, aisa nahi. Bas main kehna chahta hoon ki yeh sahi mahol nahi hai. Yeh sab karne ka bacche par galat asar pad sakta hai."
Neha bhar jaane lagi apne room ki taraf. Main bhi uske peeche chala pada. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki woh itni jaldi itni badi baatein kyun kar rahi hai, par shayad meri baatein uske dil ko gehra chot de gayi thi.
Main uske room mein pahuncha toh woh mirror ke paas khadi thi. Maine jaakar usse peeche se hug kar liya.
Neha - "Chhodiye mujhe!"
Main - "Sorry jaan, main maanta hoon ki aaj kal main khud mein khoya rahata hoon. Shayad tum mujhe khudgarz keh sakti ho."
Neha - "Huuuhh, woh toh aap ho hi."
Main - "Accha, kya meri Papu ki maa ab mujhe maaf karegi?"
Neha - "Haan, par aaj ke baad aise Papu mat kehna."
Main - "Aare baap re, itna gussa!"
Neha mere haathon ko apne pet par kas leti hai - "Mujhe maaf kariye. Shayad jab se yeh mere andar aaya hai, main kuch zyada hi soch rahi hoon. Kabhi kabhi man hota hai ki aapka sir fod doon."
Main - "Aare, aisa kya kiya maine?"
Neha - "Pata nahi, shayad yeh jo sochta hai, main bhi wahi sochti hoon."
Main - "Haan, isse apni maa se bahut pyaar hai, aur apne dad ko lagta hai zyada pasand nahi karta."
Neha - "Pata hai, abhi mere dimaag mein kya khayal aa rahe hain?"
Main - "Kya baatein toh?"
Neha - "Yahi ki kab aap hum dono ke saath akele time bitaoge, matlab..."
Main - "Shh! Bas karo, main samajh raha hoon. Yeh natak hai, main uski maa ko time doonga, uski dekhbhaal karunga."
Neha ne mujhse mudh kar ek kiss de diya.
Main - "Wow, waise yeh kisi taraf se tha."
Neha - "Iski taraf se, par mere hothon se."
Maa - "Are dev, tu yahan Neha ke saath aise kyun khada hai?"
Main Neha se alag hua.
Main - "Kuch nahi maa, bas isse samjha raha tha ki chhutti ke baad college start karna hai, sahi se sambhal ke."
Maine speed se maa ko pakad liya, warna maa shayad seedhi gir jaati. Maine maa ko aram se lita diya.
Main - "Kya maa, kitna kaam karti ho, aram kiya karo."
Maa - "Pata nahi, kisi ne mujhe dhakka diya, aisa laga."
Maine Neha ko dekha.
Main - "Chalo maa, neeche jao, koi kaam tha mujhse."
Maa - "Haan beta, jaa jara dekh mithai ko keh de."
Main - "Accha maa, Diwali ke liye."
Maa - "Chal phir neeche aa jaa, kuch kha le."
Main - "Haan maa, aap chalo, main aata hoon."
Maa chali gayi.
Main - "Neha, iska maa ke liye pyaar badhata jaa raha hai."
Neha - "Aree, aap bhi na, kuch bhi, har kuch yahi todhi karega."
Par mujhe laga raha tha ki kahin maa ne mujhe toka isliye usne kuch kiya. Main bhi na jaane kya soch raha tha.
Main - "Chalo, neeche kahaan kha le."
Phir main Neha ke saath neeche aaya aur baith gaya.
Dad - "Aur barukhudaar, kya hua? Kaam hua woh pura?"
Roshani - "Haan, boliye na, kya dad zinda hai?"
Main has kar - "Haan, haan, kyun nahi, woh hai."
Roshani akkar mere gale lag gayi sab ke saamne. Mujhe bada ajeeb sa lag raha tha. Maine usse khud se alag kiya.
Main - "Roshani, kya kar rahi ho? Sab ke saamne aise nahi karte."
Roshani - "Kya hua? Thoda pyaar toh dikhana chahiye na."
Main - "Haan, par thoda sambhal ke. Yeh sab thoda ajeeb lagta hai."
