Episode 53
Nateeja dekhne ke liye Sunil babu aur Aryan dono vidyalay gaye. Ghar par Nandini bechain aur utsuk thi. Usne teeke ki thaali tayyar rakhi thi aur mandir mein diya jalakar aur pooja karke usne Aryan ke awwal aane ki minnat maangi. Nandini ka yakeen mazboot tha, lekin jab tak Sunil babu aur Aryan ghar nahin laut te tab tak woh besabri se intezar mein kabhi darwaze ke bahar dekhti toh kabhi deewar pe tange ghadi ko. Rohit apni maa ko tanaav mein dekh has raha tha.
Nandini- “Tu has kyon raha hai?”
Rohit- “Maa… aap idhar se udhar, udhar se idhar kab se cartoon ki tarah chal rahi ho. Lagta hai pariksha bhaiyya ki nahin, aapki thi.”
Nandini apne kadmon mein ruki aur Rohit ko dekh sochne lagi ke baat toh bilkul sahi keh raha tha Rohit. Hosh mein aakar Nandini ne Rohit ko haste huye ek thappad lagane ka ishara kiya.
Rohit- “Aap tension na le maa. Bhaiyya zaroor achche number layenge. Unhone badi mehnat lagayi hai iss pariksha ke liye. Woh der raat tak padha karte the.”
Nandini- “Main jaanti hoon. Bade anushasan se padhai ki hai tere bhai ne.”
Nandini darasal mann hi mann beete huye saare dinon ko yaad kar rahi thi jabse Aryan ne Sunil babu ke prastaav ko apnakar uska gambhirta se palan kiya. Itne kam umar mein usne kya sayyam ka pradarshan kiya tha, bas isiliye kyunki uska lakshya apne maa ke sharir ka bhog chakhna tha. Ab toh Nandini bhi aatur thi apna sharir apne bete ko sounpne ko. Saari vidambana, saare bandhan door ho gaye the. Uske mann mein ab bebaak ichcha tha apne bete Aryan ke saath sambhog karne ka. Aur woh isi baat ko sach hone ke liye prarthana kiye jaa rahi thi ke kab Sunil babu Aryan ke saath laute aur Aryan ke awwal aane ki khush khabar de.
Aadhe ghanta baad aakhir ghar ki ghanti baji aur Nandini ne daudkar darwaza khola. Sunil babu ne Nandini ko dekha aur mamuli muskurahat di. Nandini kuch samajh nahin paayi. Sunil babu ke peeche se Aryan bhaari kadmon se ghar ke andar aaya. Usne Nandini ko dekha tak nahin aur sirf sar jhukaye khada raha. Ab Nandini darr gayi. Shayad Aryan ke number achche nahin aaye the. Rohit apne bhai ke paas aakar usko haathon se kheechkar poochne laga,
“Kya hua bhaiyya? Kuch bolte kyon nahin?”
Aryan ne Rohit ke sar pe se apna haath ghumaya aur Sunil babu ko dekhne laga.
Sunil babu- “Mujhe kya dekh rahe ho? Tum hi jawab do!”
Nandini- “Uff! Yeh kya paheliyon mein uljha rahe hai baap-beta milkar.”
Sunil babu- “Dekho pariksha jisne di hai, nateeja bhi wohi ghoshit kare. Tum kyon utavli ho rahi ho Aryan ki amma?”
Sunil babu Nandini ke badan ko upar se neeche tak vaasna se niharte huye bole. Nandini ko Sunil babu ki bhedti nazar se thoda sharma gayi. Usne turant apna aapa paaya aur Aryan ke paas jaakar usne use kaandhe se pakadkar poocha,
“Kya hua bata de! Jaan nikal jayegi meri.”
Aryan ne ekdum se Nandini ke munh par apna haath rakha.
“Na maa… Aise na bol.”
Aryan ko achanak Rohit ke saamne ki gai apni harkat ka ehsaas hua aur usne apna haath phat se peeche le liya. Nandini bhi Aryan ka uske honthon par uska haath rakhne se thoda chaunk gayi thi, aur Sunil babu shararati andaz mein muskura rahe the. Aryan ne phir se apna sar neeche kiya aur gehri saansein lene laga.
“Maa… woh main… Main…”
Rohit- “Tum kya bhaiyya?”
Sunil babu- “Arre yeh poore zille mein sabse awwal aaya hai! Shaan badha di hai isne humaare khandaan ki.”
Rohit iss khabar ko sunte hi apne bade bhai se haath uthakar high-five dene laga.
“Wow, bhaiyya! Yeh hui na baat. Dekho maa, main na kehta tha bhaiyya der raat tak padhai karte the.”
Nandini ke aankhon mein khushi ke aansoo bhar gaye the. Woh daudkar ghar ke mandir ke taraf bhaagi aur teeke ke thaali lekar aayi. Aryan abhi bhi apna sar jhukaye khada tha. Nandini ne apni tarjani ungli se uske chehre ko upar uthaya aur usne Aryan ke maathe par teeka lagaya. Aryan ki nazar jaise hi Nandini ke nazar se jaa mili, toh Nandini ko ekdum se bodh hua ke Aryan ke awwal aane ka matlab tha ke ab Aryan aur uske sambhog ke beech koi bhi baadha nahin tha. Aryan isiliye itne der se shaant tha, kyunki iss nateeje ki ahamiyat ko vidyalay se lekar ghar tak kalpana karte aaya tha. Nandini ke stanon ki nason mein doodh tez pravah se daudne laga. Usne thaali mein se motichur ka ladoo uthaya.
“Lo beta… munh kholo.”
Nandini ke yeh shabd kehte hi Aryan ki aankhen badi ho gayi. Apni maa se aise nyoute ka haal ke mahinon mein kuch aur hi matlab ban chuka tha. Nandini bhi apne kahe baat ke ubhayaarthakta ko jaan gayi aur uske poore badan mein kaam bhaavna se raungte khade ho gaye. Aryan ne apna munh khola aur Nandini ne uske munh mein ek poora laddoo thoos diya.
Rohit- “Maa, mujhe bhi, mujhe bhi!”
Sunil babu- “Abhi se?”
Sunil babu Nandini ko shaitani andaz mein dekh rahe the. Nandini ne apni aankhen badi kar unhe chup karaya.
Nandini- “Unka matlab hai Rohit beta ke iss thaali ka prasad toh tere bhaiyya ke awwal aane ke liye tha. Tu bhi awwal aa, tab tujhe bhi milega.”
Sunil babu- “Achcha, toh tab isse bhi dogi?”
Sunil babu cheshta kar zor se hasne lage. Nandini ko yeh bilkul pasand nahin aa raha tha.
“Aap bhi na!”
Tabhi Aryan ne badi naadani se Rohit ke sar pe se haath ghumaya.
“Rohit, tu chinta na kar. Main maa se keh doonga ke woh tujhe bhi de de.”
Aryan ne anjaane mein jo kaha use sunn Nandini ke poore badan mein laalima chaa gayi. Jab usne Sunil babu ke taraf dekha toh woh use mazakiye andaz mein aankh maar rahe the.
“Dekha kitna pyar hai dono bhaiyon mein. Mil-baat kar lete hain sab.”
Nandini ne ishare se Sunil babu ko chup hone ko kaha. Phir usne Rohit ke taraf dekha.
“Jao, andar kitchen mein mithai ka dibba hai, usme hai aur laddoo. Jaake le lo.”
Rohit khushi se kitchen mein chala gaya. Uske jaate hi Aryan, Nandini aur Sunil babu ke beech ek ajeeb khamoshi chaayi. Aakhir Nandini ne pooch hi liya.
“Ab?”
Sunil babu- “Ab packing karo.”
Nandini- “Matlab? Hum kahaan jaa rahe hain?”
Sunil babu- “Hum nahin… Rohit. Rohit ko main aaj dopahar hi mere behen ke ghar bhej raha hoon. Waise bhi uski chhuttiyaan chal rahi hai. Apni bua ke poti-poton ke saath woh waise bhi khush rehta hai. Humumar hai bachche, toh waqt kat jayega.”
Ek kshan bhar ke liye rukkar, Sunil babu ne gehre aawaz mein bolna jaari rakha.
“Aur humein waqt mil jayega.”
Nandini aur Aryan ne ek doosre ke taraf dekha. Aryan ki saansein tez hui aur Nandini bhi sharm se nikhar rahi thi. Tabhi Rohit kitchen se lauta.
Sunil babu- “Toh Rohit… ab jo tere bhaiyya ka result aa gaya hai, kya tum apni bua ke paas baaki ki chhuttiyaan bitana chahoge?”
Rohit- “Bhaiyya bhi chalenge?”
Sunil babu- “Nahin, iss baar bhiayya nahin aa payega. Woh ab mahavidyalay ke forms bharna aur baaki cheezon mein busy hoga. Par tum akele yahan bore ho jaoge. Isiliye maine socha ke…”
Rohit ne ek kshan ke liye socha, aur masoomiyat se usne apna faisla suna diya.
“Okay! Main aapko miss karunga bhaiyya. Ab aap bade ho gaye hain.”
Rohit apne bhai Aryan ke gale laga.
Sunil babu- “Abhi poori tarah kahan bada hua hai… par ho jayega.”
Sunil babu ne phir se Nandini ko dekh shaitani muskurahat di, aur Nandini unke shararat se thoda tang aur thoda uttejit hokar apni gardan hilane lagi. Aryan apne aankhon ke kone se bagal mein khadi apni maa ke stanon ko side se taad raha tha.
