Chapter 28
Against the Flow


Payal us kachche jhodpi ke bahar baithi hui thi jo nadi ke kinare banaya gaya tha. Uski nigahen nadi ke us paar sthir thi jahan dushman ke skeleton sena apni vibhishika failaye khade the. Shaam ka dhundhala suraj ab khatam hone wala tha aur uski aakhri kiranein nadi ke paani par laal rang ki chamak rhi thein.



Payal lekin ke ungliyan lagatar apne khanjar ke moth par phir rhi thi ek aadat jo usne saalo ki ladaiyon se seekhi thi. Uski aankhen thaki hui thi lekin woh jhapak bhi nhi rhi thi. Woh har ek skeleton ko gin rhi thi unki harkaton ko dekh rhi thi.

Nadi ke us paar haddiyon ki woh fauj ek ajeeb si khamoshi mein khadi thi. Kabhi kabhi unme se ek do aage badhte the nadi ki taraf lekin jaise hi paani ke kareeb pahunchte peeche hat jaate the. Yeh baat Payal ko ajeeb lag rhi thi. Kya woh paani se dar rhe the? Ya kuch aur baat thi?

Uske kandhe par halki si thakan ka bojh thi pichle teen din se lagatar ladai chal rhi thi. Uski sena jo pehle sattar yoddhao ki thi, ab aadhi reh gayi thi. Kuch mar gaye the, kuch itne ghaayal ho gaye the ke woh ab lad nhi skte the. Aur yeh skeleton sena...yeh kabhi thakti hi nhi thi. Na soti thi, na khaati thi, na hi inhe dard mehsoos hota tha. Bas aage badhti rehti thi, ek atalata ke saath jo kisi bhi zinda insaan mein nhi ho skti thi.

Payal ne gehri saans li. Uske dimaag mein kai sawal ghoom rhe the. Kaise iss sena ko harayen? Kaise apne bache hue yoddhao ko bachaye? Aur sabse badi baat kitni der tak woh iss nadi ke kinare rok sakte the is fauj ko?

Tabhi peeche se kadam ki awaaz aayi. Payal ne peeche mudkar dekha. Prachi aa rhi thi uske chehre par chinta aur thakan saaf dikh rhe the. Uske baal bikhar gaye the, aur uske mathe par pasine ki boondein chamak rhi thi. Uske peeche chhota Veleys, uchal kood karta hua aa rha tha.

Prachi ne Payal ke paas aate hi apne ghutne tekh diye, saans phooli hui. "Rajkumari Payal," usne kaha, uski awaaz mein chinta thi, "maine abhi Aaditya aur Harish se baat ki."



Payal turant seedhi ho gayi uski poori tawajjo ab Prachi par thi. "Kya kaha unhone? Dusri kinare ki sthiti kaisi hai?"

Prachi ne apne chehre par gire hue baal ko peeche karte hue kaha, "Buri. Bahut buri, Payal. Hamare yoddha wahan bahut mushkil se lad rhe hain. Dushman sena baar baar hamla kar rhi hai...aur hamare jawan...woh thak gaye hain. Bahut zyada ghaayal ho gaye hain." Usne thodi si saans li phir aage boli, "Aaditya keh rha hai ke agar hum abhi peeche nhi hate toh...toh bahut bhaari nuksaan hoga. Woh wapas aana chahte hain."

Payal ke jbadon mein akdan aayi. Uski aankhen ek pal ke liye band hui, jaise woh apne andar ke gusse ko tham rhi ho. Phir usne aankhe kholi aur seedhe Prachi ki taraf dekha. "Kitne log bache hain wahan? Hamare yoddhao mein se kitne lad sakte hain abhi bhi?"

Prachi ne apne hont dabaye, jaise iska jawab dena use takleef de rha ho. "Tees. Sirf tees, Rajkumari Payal. Aur woh bhi sab theek haalat mein nhi hain. Kuch ke haath toote hain, kuch ki tangein ghaayal hain...woh bas kisi tarah lad rhe hain."

"Tees," Payal ne dheere se dohraaya, uski awaaz mein ek gehri niraasha thi. Usne apni nigah phir se nadi ke us paar ki taraf ghumayi, jahan skeleton sena abhi bhi khadi thi. "Aur unke paas kitne hain abhi bhi?"

Prachi ne apne kandhe gira diye. "Sau se zyada. Shayad sau das, sau bees. Humne kai maar giraaye hain, lekin...lekin inka koi ant nhi lag rha. Jitne hum marenge utne hi phir se khade ho jaate hain. Jaise unhe koi...koi shakti phir se jod rhi ho."

Payal ne apne daant dabaye. Yeh sab uski samajh se bahar tha. Normal yoddha, normal dushman unhe woh samajh skti thi unse lad skti thi. Lekin yeh skeletons jo maut ke baad bhi lad rhe the unse ek alag hi jung thi. Yeh sirf talwaron aur bhaalon se jeeti jaane wali ladai nhi thi.

"Koi kamzori?" Payal ne achanak pucha uski awaaz tez

"Kya tumne ya Aaditya ne kuch dekha? Kuch bhi jo humein fayda de sake?"

Prachi ne thoda sochte hue apne haathon ko aapas mein ragda. "Haan...ek baat hai jo humne dhayn di hai ki. Woh...woh jaan boojh kar paani se bach rhe hain."

Payal ke bhauhen uthi. "Matlab?"

"Matlab," Prachi ne aage samjhate hue kaha, "jab bhi koi kankaal nadi ke paas aata hai woh bilkul kinare tak aata hai lekin paani mein nhi utarta. Aaditya ne kaha ke ek baar unhone ek skeleton ko dhakka dekar paani mein gira diya tha...aur woh turant bikharne laga. Uski haddiyan alag hone lagi. Jaise paani mein koi aisi cheez ho jo unhe tod rhi ho."

Payal ki aankhen chamak uthi. Yeh woh jaankari thi jiska woh intezaar kar rhi thi. Paani. Paani unki kamzori hai. Shayad yeh woh chabi thi jisse is jung ko palta ja sake.

Usne apne dimag mein turant ek yojana banana shuru ho gye. Agar skeleton paani mein kamzor ho jaate hain, toh shayad...shayad woh is nadi ko apna hathiyar bana sakti hai. Lekin iske liye use kuch yojna chaiye the. Kuch aisa jo use kuch aisa karna hoga jo skeletons ko paani mein aane ke liye majboor kar de.

"Lakshya kahan hai?" Payal ne achanak pucha.

Prachi ne apne ek haath se Veleys ko sahlaaya jo uske paas aa kar baith gaya tha uski chhoti si doom hilate hue. "Woh ghaayalon ke paas hai. Unki marham patti kar rha hai. Bahut saare yoddha buri tarah se ghaayal hain, Payal. Kuch ko toh ab ladne layak bhi nhi chhoda ja sakta."

Payal ne ek lambi saans li. Lakshya. Woh bahut zaroori tha uski agli yojana ke liye. Woh VanRajya ka sabse behtar Ved tha, aur use nadion aur paani ki bahut gehri samajh thi.

"Kitni naaven taiyar ki ja sakti hain ek din mein?" Payal ne achanak pucha, uski aankhen Prachi par tiki hui.

Prachi thodi hairan hui is sawaal se. "Naaven? Payal, tumhara matlab?!?"

"Jawab do," Payal ne beech mein kaha, uski awaaz mein ek ajeeb sa dhairyya tha. "Kitni naaven ek din mein taiyar ki ja sakti hain? Chhoti furti wali, jo paani mein aasani se chal sake."

Prachi ne thoda socha. Uske dimaag mein bhi ab samajh aa rha tha ke Payal kya soch rhi hai. "Chaar...shayad paanch. Agar hum sab log mil kar kaam karein toh. Lekin Payal, naavon ka kya karogi? Hum kahan ja rhe hain?"

Payal ne apna sir hilaya, uske hothon par halki si muskaan aayi, ek aisi muskaan jo sirf tab aati hai jab koi bahut badi aur khatarnak yojana dimaag mein ban rhi hoti hai. "Abhi woh tumhe batane ka waqt nhi hai, Prachi. Pehle mujhe Lakshya se baat karni hai. Mujhe use yahin bulao. Jaldi."

Prachi ne haan mein sir hilaya. Woh samajh gayi thi ke Payal ke dimaag mein kuch chal rha hai, kuch aisa jo shayad unhe iss mushkil se nikal sake. Usne khadi hote hue apni kamzor tangon par jor diya aur Veleys ko bhi apne saath aane ka ishara kiya.

"Main abhi bhejti hoon use," Prachi ne kaha aur woh mudne lagi.

"Prachi," Payal ne use rokne ke liye pukaara. Prachi ruk gayi aur peeche mudi.

"Haan?"

Payal ne uski aankhen dekhi, gehrayi se. "Hamare jawan...jo tees bache hain...unhe kaho ke woh himmat na haare. Hum yeh ladai haar nhi rhe. Main kuch karungi. Bas thodi der aur, Prachi. Bas thodi der."

Prachi ke chehre par thodi si rahat aayi. Usne haan mein sir hilaya aur chali gayi, uske peeche Veleys bhi uchalte hue chala gaya uske chhote paron ki awaaz mitti par halki si thap thap karti kar rhe the.


"Paani tumhari kamzori hai," Payal ne dheere se apne aap se kaha, jaise woh un skeleton se baat kar rhi ho. "Aur ab main usi paani se tumhe khatam karungi."

Usne apne khanjar ko uthaya aur uski dhar ko dekha. Talwar ki dhaar par chaand ki roshni chamki aur Payal ko apni saari pichli ladaiyan yaad aa gayi. Yeh ladai bhi woh jeetegi. Chahe jo bhi ho.

Kuch der baad door se kadam ki awaaz aayi. Payal ne peeche mudkar dekha. Lakshya aa rha tha uske haath khoon se sane hue the ghaayalon ki marham patti karne se. Uska chehra thaka hua tha, lekin jaise hi usne Payal ko dekha, usne apni kamar seedhi ki aur tezi se uske paas aaya.

"Rajkumari Payal," Lakshya ne kaha uski saans abhi bhi phuli hui thi, "Prachi ne kaha aapne bulaya hai?"

Payal ne haan mein sir hilaya aur apne bagal mein zameen par haath maara. "Baitho, Lakshya. Mujhe tumse kuch zaroori baat karni hai. Bahut zaroori."

Lakshya baith gaya, uski aankhen Payal ke chehre par tiki hui. Usne dekha ke Payal ke aankhen chamak rhi thi.

"Bataiye Rajkumari," Lakshya ne kaha. "Kya karna hai?"

Payal ne nadi ki taraf ishara kiya. "Hum iss nadi ko apna sabse bada hathiyar banaane wale hain Lakshya. Aur iske liye mujhe tumhari aur Harish Kaka ke madad chahiye."

Lakshya ne Payal ke chehre ko dhyan se dekha, phir nadi ko phir us paar khadi skeleton sena ko. Aur dheere dheere uski samajh mein bhi aane laga ke Payal ke dimag mein kya chal rha hai.

"Bataiye," usne phir se kaha, lekin iss baar uski awaaz mein ek naya josh tha. "Hum par yeh kaise karenge?"

Payal ne muskurate hue apni yojana batani shuru ki.


***

Karan ne jhatke se Meher ko apne haath mein nikala aur peeche mudke block kar liya.

"CLANG!!!"

Dhatuon ke awaaz charon taraf goonji. Saamne ek makdi ka siphai khada tha, uske dono haathon mein do curved blades chamak rhe the Chand ke roshni mein. Uske aath pair zameen par majbooti se jame hue the, aur uske aankhe... woh kaale the bilkul andheron jaise par uske sharir par japde ke neeche hare rang ke chadar se chayi hue thi.

"Tum kon ho?" Karan ne zor se pucha apne blade ko taiyar rkhte hue.

Jawab ke jagah soldier ne bass apne dono blades ko cross kiya aur bina kuch kahe Karan pe hamla kar diya.

"Whoosh!!!"

Pehla blade Karan ke gale ke taraf aaya. Karan ne jhatke se neeche jhuka blade uske baalon ke upar se kat ke nikal gaya. Dusra blade turant hi neeche se aaya uske pet ke taraf. Karan ne peeche jump karke dodge kiya.

"Masster!" Meher ke awaaz uske dimaag mein chillaye.

Siphai dobara aage badha iss baar uske blades ek rhythm mein chal rhe the - left, right, left, right. Karan peeche peeche hota gaya har ek attack ko dodge karta hua. Uske pair ek patther par phisla aur woh balance khone laga.

Siphai ne yeh dekha aur turant upar se ek jor ka hamla kiya. Karan ne dono haathon se Meher ko pakad ke upar uthaya blades Meher se takra ke sparks nikale. Par jor itna tha ke Karan ke ghutne mud gye woh neeche gir gaya.

"Argh!" Karan ke muh se awaaz nikli.

Siphai wahi ruk gaya, apne blades ko ek taraf jhukaye. Fir achanak uske nazar bagal mein baithi Akansha par padi.

Karan ke aankhe bade ho gye jab usne usse Akansha ke taraf bhaagte hue dekha. "NAHI!!!"

Akansha dar ke maare peeche renge lagi par uske par woh tezi se chal nhi kar pa rhe thein.

Soldier ne apna blade upar uthaya aur

"KARAN!!!" Akansha chillaye.

Par Karan pehle se hi hawa mein tha. Gusse se uske aankhe safed ho chuki thein. "TUMNE GALTI KAR DI!!!"

Usne hawa mein Meher ko dono haathon se pakda aur pure zor se neeche ki taraf strike kiya. Sipahi ne last moment mein apna blade ghuma ke block karne ki koshish ki par Karan ke force itne jayda thi ke dono blades takrate hi soldier ka blade uske haath se door ja gira.

"Dham!!!"

Karan zameen par gira aur bina ruke ek aur baar uspe hamla kiya. Siphai ne bache hue blade se block kiya par Karan ruka nhi. Ek ke baad ek strikes, har ek pehle se zyada takatavar.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!!"

Siphai peeche hota gaya. Uske movements ab defensive ho gye the.

"Masster! Abhi chance hai!" Meher chillaye.

Karan ne ek baar apna blade upar ki taraf swing kiya jisse soldier ka bhi blade upar chala gaya. Soldier ka guard khula pad gaya. Karan ne turant neeche se ek kick mari jo seedhe soldier ke chest mein lagi.

"Ughh!!!"

Siphai peeche ki taraf udke ek ped se ja takraya. Karan bhagte hue uske paas pahuncha aur Meher ko uske gale pe rakha.

"Naam batao! Kisne bheja tumhe yahan?!" Karan ke awaaz mein gussa tha, "Bolo nahi toh abhi khatam kar dunga tumhe!"

Siphai ne kuch nhi kaha bass apne kaale aankhen Karan mein dekhe jaa rha tha.

"BOLO!!!" Karan ne aur zor se blade press kiya, thodi si cut lag gayi sipahi ke gale par.

"Karan ruko!" Peeche se Akansha ke awaaz aayi.

Karan ne peeche mudke dekha toh Akansha dheere dheere bhagte hue uske taraf aa rhe the.

"Mausi aap theek ho?" Karan ne pucha par apna blade soldier ke gale se nhi hataya.

Akansha paas aayi aur siphai ko gaur se dekhne lagi. Unke aankhe sankri ho gayi. "Karan... yeh Mesaka ka siphai nhi hai."

"Kya?" Karan chauk gaya, "Par yeh yahan-"

"Dekho," Akansha ne siphai ke japde ke neeche ki ishara kiya. Wahan ek azeeb kaim ke hare rang ke parat ka mark tha, jo chand ki roshni mein halka sa glow kar rha tha. "Yeh mark... meine pehle dekha hai. Yeh Jalyak ke sache sipahiyon ka hota hai."

Karan ne blade thoda hataya par siphai ko chodha nhi.

Siphai ne ant mein apna muh khola, uske awaaz rough thi. "Haan... mein Mesaka ka sevak nhi hoon."

"Toh tumne hamla kyu kiya?" Karan ne gusse se pucha.

"Kyuki tum log Mesaka ke doot ho," siphai ne seedhe awaaz mein kaha, "Tum dono yahan hamare ilake mein ghus aaye. Hamare nirdesh hai ke koi bhi jo Mesaka ke saath hai unhe pakad ke hamare leader ke paas laya jaye."

Akansha aage badhi uske neele skin chand ke roshni mein chamak rhi thi "Hum Mesaka ke doot nhi hai."

Siphai ke aankhe Akansha par ghumi. Usne unhe gaur se dekha, uske neele azeeb tarah ke skin, uska khoobsurat roop.

"Hum asal mein Vanraajya se aaye hai," Akansha ne dheeme par vishwas bhari awaaz mein kaha.

Siphai ke body thodi jakad gayi. "Vanraaj se? Jhooth mat bolo. Vanraajya ke log yahan kyu aayenge?"

"Sach bol rhe hoon mein," Akansha ne aage badh ke kaha, "Mein khud Vanraajya ke ek vansh se hoon. Humare... humare rishte pehle ache the Jalyak ke saath."

Karan ko yeh sab sun ke dimag ghum ho rha tha par woh chup rha. Use pata tha ke Akansha aisa kuch jaanti thi jo woh nhi jaanta tha.

Siphai kuch der chup rha jaise woh soch rha ho. Fir usne Akansha ko fir se dekha uske blue skin par ghoorte hue.

"Agar tum Vanraajya se ho," Soldier ne dheere se kaha, "Toh tumhe hamare Jalnayak se milna chahiye. Shayad woh tumhari baat sun le."

Akansha ke chere par halki chitna kam hue "Kya tum hume apne Jalnayak ke paas le ja sakte ho?"

Siphai ne kuch seconds tak socha. Uske japda kasa hua tha. Par fir usne dhire se sir hilaya. "Haan... par agar tumne koi chalbaazi ki toh-"

"Koi chaalbaazi nhi hai," Akansha ne turant kaha, "Hume bas tumhare Jalnayak se baat karni hai."

Karan ne ant mein aakhirkaar Meher ko neeche kar liya aur soldier se thoda door khada ho gaya. Par woh taiyar tha agar siphai ne fir se kuch karne ki koshish ki toh.

Siphai aage badhne laga. Karan aur Akansha uske peeche chalne lage.

Woh teeno andhere jungle ke beech chalne lage. Charon taraf sirf chand ki roshni thi aur dur se kuch ajeeb si awaze aa rhe thein shayad aur siphai ke ya fir kuch jaanwaron ke.

"Masster," Meher ke awaaz Karan ke dimaag mein aayi, "Mujhe yeh theek nhi lag rha. Kya hume iss siphai pe vishwas karna chahiye?"

"Hamare paas chara nhi hai Meher. Aur... Akansha Mausi ko lagta hai woh jaanti hai kuch. Hume unpe vishwas karna hoga."

"Hmph," Kairav ka awaaz bhi aa gye, "Agar yeh dhoka hua na toh mein sabse pehle iss siphai ka-"

"Shaant rho tum dono," Karan ne dono ko chup rhene ko kaha.

Siphai ne ek baar peeche mudke dekha, "Zyada dur nhi hai. Bas thodi der aur."



***

Kuch der baad woh teeno ek purane basaav ke paas pahunch gaye jo jungle ke ghane bel paton ke beech chupa hua tha. Purane makdiyon ke ghar jo lambe samay se yahan khade the unke deewaron par kayi saari latayen chad gayi thein.

Kairav ka awaaz Karan ke dimaag mein goonj rhi thi, "Yeh jagah theek nhi lag rhi."

Karan ko bhi shanka ho rhe the. Usne Akansha ki taraf dekha jo ab uske bilkul paas chal rhe thein. "Mausi... kya yeh sahi hai?"

Akansha ne uske aankhon mein dekha aur dheere se sir hilaya. "Haan Karan... hume unpe bharosa karna hoga. Yeh hamare purane saathi hai."

Sipahi unhe ek gufa ke taraf le gaya jo basaav ke beech mein thi. Gufa ke bahar kuch aur makdi sipahi khade the unke haathon mein bhaale the.


Sipahi bahar khade dono sipahiyon ke paas gaya. "Yeh dono Jalnayak se milna chahte hai."



Ek sipahi aage aaya. "Kya? Tu inn ghuspethiyon ko yahan lekar aaye ho?!? Inhe yahi khatam kar dena chahiye tha!"

"Nahi," Pehle sipahi ne sakht awaaz mein kaha, "Jalnayak ke sakht aadesh hai ke sirf pakadna hai unhe. Maarna nahi."

Dusra sipahi kuch der gusse se dekhta raha fir sir hilaya. "Theek hai. Par agar inhone koi chaal chali toh tumhari jimmedari hogi."

"Mujhe pata hai," Pehle sipahi ne jawab diya.

Baaki sipahiyon ne aapas mein kuch baatein ki aur fir ek unme se bhag ke andar gaya.

Karan aur Akansha gufa ke andar baithe intezaar karne lage. Karan ke haath Meher par majboot the aur woh har pal taiyaar tha agar kuch galat hua toh.

Kuch samay baad kadam ke awaze aayi. Karan ne bahar ki taraf dekha.

Gufa ke andar ek budha makdi aaha manav aaya. Uske aath pair dheere dheere chal rhe the umar ke bojh se. Uske sharir par safed baal the jo kabhi shayad kaale rahe honge. Uske chehre par lambi daadi thi jo neeche tak aa rhe the. Par uske aankhe... woh abhi bhi tez thein jaise kisi baaz ke. Uske ek haath mein ek lathi thi jisse woh sahara le rha tha.

Woh Karan aur Akansha ke paas aaya aur unhe gaur se dekhne laga.

Akansha khadi hui aur sir jhukayi. "Hum dono Vanraajya se hai."

Budhe ne sir hilaya aur dono ko apne saath aane ka ishara kiya.

Woh teeno ek bade kaksh mein pahunche. Kaksh purani thi par saaf thi. Charon taraf mashaalein jal rhe thein jo roshni de rhe thein. Beech mein kuch bade pathar ke shile rakhe the jo kursiyon ka kaam kar skte the.



"Baith jao," Budhe ne kaha, khud ek pathar par baith ke.

Karan aur Akansha bhi baith gye, Karan ab bhi satark tha.

Budhe ne ek aurat sewak ko ishara kiya aur kuch isharon mein kuch kaha. Aurat ne sir jhukaya aur bahar chali gayi.

Budha Karan aur Akansha ki taraf ghuma. "Toh tum dono Vanraajya se ho?"

Uske awaaz mein shanka saaf thi. Usne Akansha ke neele chamdi ko dekha fir uske chehre ko.

Akansha "J-jee."

Kuch der baad woh aurat sewak wapas aayi. Uske haath mein teen kaanch ke pyale the. Usne ek pyala budhe ko diya aur baaki do Karan aur Akansha ke saamne rakh diye.

Budhe ne apna pyala uthaya aur usme se kuch piya. Fir usne Karan aur Akansha ki taraf dekha.

"Yeh kya hai?" Karan ne pucha pyale ko dekhte hue.

Budhe ke chehre par ek muskan aayi jo dosti bhari nhi thi "Yeh ek saadha peya hai... agar tum dono sach mein Kaalandard ke praani nhi ho... toh yeh zeher hai. Khaas tarah ka zeher jo sirf kuch khaas Jalyak ke hisson mein paaya jaata hai. Yeh tumpar kaam karega. Par agar nhi karega... toh tum dono ko maar diya jayega."

Karan ke aankhe gusse se laal ho gayi. "Agar kaam karega toh hum bhi mar jayenge!"

Budha hasa uske hasi se pure kaksh mein goonj padi. "Chinta mat karo... mere paas ilaaj hai. Par mein tumhe bachaunga sirf tab... jab tum sabit kar do ke mein tumpar bharosa kar sakta hoon."

Karan gusse mein khada ho gaya. "Mein yeh bevkoofi nhi karne wala!"

Turant hi dus gyarah sipahi andar aaye aur Karan ko pakad liya. Unhone uske dono haath peeche bandh diye.

"Choro mujhe!" Karan chillaya, tapakta hua.

Budha ne apna sar hilaya. "Isliye mein jawan mardo se nafrat karta hoon. Hamesha hungama machate hai."

Usne Akansha ki taraf dekha. "Toh tum kya karogi? Chalo insaaf se baat karte hai... agar tum dono mein se ek bhi apni bebaki sabit kar sake... toh mein bharosa kar lunga."

Akansha ne pyale ko dekha. Uske haath kaanp rhe the. Uske wajah se hi Karan iss musibat mein fasa tha. Ab usko hi uske bachana hoga kisi bhi keemat par.

"Mausi nahi!" Karan chillaya, "Yeh mat piyo!"

Par Akansha ne pyala uthaya. Usne Karan ki taraf dekha aur muskurayi... ek dukhi muskurahat.

"Mein tumhe surakshit rakhungi...Karan," Akansha ne dheeme se kaha.

Aur pyale ko apne hothon se lagayi.

"NAHI!!!" Karan ki chillane ki awaaz pure kaksh mein goonji.

Akansha ne sara peya pi liya. Kuch pal tak kuch nhi hua. Fir achanak unke aankhe bade ho gye. Unka sharir kaampne laga.

"Mausi!" Karan ne jhatke maare par sipahiyon ne use pakde rakha.

Akansha zameen par gir gayi. Unka pura sharir akad gaya aur woh behosh ho gayi.

Karan ke aankhe dekhte dekhte badalne lagi. Laal se... safed. Pure safed. Jaise andar koi aur aa gaya ho.

"TUMNE KYA KIYA!!!" Awaaz Karan ki thi par taakat usse bahut zyada.

Sipahiyon ne Karan ko pakde rakha par achanak unhe laga jaise woh aag pakad rahe hai. Unke haath jalne lage.

"Aaahh!" Sipahi chillaye aur Karan ko chodhne lage.

Kairav ne pura niyantran le liya tha. Karan ka sharir hawa mein utha aur dark sword khud hi uske haath mein aa gayi. Talwar se laal roshni nikal rhe the jo pure kaksh ko andhera mein dhal rhe the.

"TUM SABKA ANTH AAYA HAI AAJ!" Karan ke awaaz mein sirf gussa tha.

Pehla sipahi aage badha apni talwar utha ke. Karan ne sirf haath hilaya aur woh sipahi deewar se ja takraya behosh hoke gir gaya.

Teen aur sipahi ek saath aaye. Karan ne Kairav ko ghumaya ek baar, bus ek baar. Aur teeno sipahiyon ke talwarein toot ke zameen par gir gayi. Ek aur baar aur teeno sipahi hawa mein ud ke peeche gir gaye.

"Massster! Apne gusse par kabu rakho!" Meher ki awaaz uske dimaag mein aayi par Kairav ka nikayantran Karan ke dimag mein abhi bhari tha.

Budhe ne yeh sab dekha aur uske aankhe badi ho gayi. Dark sword... woh talwar... woh rang...

Achanak budhe ne apne ghutne tek diye. Uska sir zameen ko chhoo gaya.

"Maaf kar dijiye swami!" Budha chillaya, "Mein apne sachhe malik ko nhi pahchaan paya jab woh mere saamne the!"

Karan ne Kairav ko upar uthaya

"Masster... Akansha Mausi!" Meher ki awaaz fir aayi, "Unhe bachana hai! Apne gusse par kabu rakho!"

Yeh sunke Karan ruka. Usne neeche Akansha ko dekha jo behosh padi thi.

Dheere dheere safed aankhe kam hone lagi. Laal rang wapas aane laga. Kairav ka niyantran dhela padne laga.

Karan wapas aaya. Uske saans tez tez chal rhe the. Woh zameen par gir gaya ghutne tek ke.

"Ilaaj... abhi," Karan ne sakht awaaz mein kaha, neeche Akansha ko dekh ke.

Budha turant khada hua. "Sewikon! Jaldi ilaaj lekar aao!"

Do aurat sewika bhaag ke aayi unke haath mein ek doosra pyala tha. Unhone Akansha ke muh mein woh peya ubhala.

"Yeh unhe theek kar dega," Budha ne kaha, "Yeh zeher sirf mann ko nuksan pahunchata hai, sharir ko nahi. Woh adhi raat tak theek hokar uth jayengi."

Usne sewikon ko aadesh diya, "Inhe sabse achhe kamre mein le jao aur dhyan rakho."

Chaar sewika aaye aur Akansha ko uthake le gayi.

Karan ne upar dekha, uske aankhen abhi bhi gusse se bhari thi. "Samjhao abhi kya bol rhe the tum."

Budhe ne gehri saans li. "Woh talwar... woh humare sachhe Kalraaj ki talwar hai. Jo bhi use pakadta hai... woh humara sachha malik hai."

"Tumhe altar se mili hogi?" Budhe ne pucha.

Karan ne sir hilaya.

Budhe ke chehre par hairani aur prashansa dikh gaye. "Tumne asamaanbhav kar dikhaya. Hum sau saalon se uss talwar ko paane ki koshish kar rhe the. Aur tumne yeh kar dikhaya hai."

Usne aage jhuk ke kaha, "Ab humari sena tumhari hai. Jo tum kahoge hum karenge."

Budha uthkar khada hua aur zor se bola, "Kalraaj ki jai!"

"Kalraaj ki jai!" Saare sipahi ek saath chillaye aur Karan ke saamne jhuk gye.

Karan iss sab ko dekh ke pareshan tha. Yeh kya ho rha tha? Kalraaj? Sachha malik? Kuch bhi samajh nhi aa rha tha.

Usne Kairav ko toh paa liya tha par abhi uspe usko puri tarah niyantran paane mein samay lagne wala tha. Par abhi uske mann mein sirf ek baat thi Akansha theek ho jayein. Baaki sab baad mein.

***

Dusre kshetra mein Jalyak ke Mesaka courtyard mein pahunchi. Uske gulabi aankhe charon taraf ke tabahi ko dekh rhe thein. Zameen par lahu faila hua tha tute hue sharir ke tukde bikre pade the. Uske apne sipahiyon ke sharir... aur dushman ke bhi.

Asim jo ek deewar ke paas khada tha, Mesaka ko dekh ke jhuka. Uske chehre par ghav the uske bhaale toot chuka tha. Woh Mesaka ka itne salon se sabse vafadaar chela tha.

"Maharani..." Asim ki awaaz kamzor thi, "Woh... woh bahut taqatwar hain. Unmein se kuch ko hamare teeron se bhi koi fark nhi pad rha."

Mesaka aage badhi uske aath pair zameen par awaaz karte hue chalne lage. Woh ek mutant ke tute hue sharir ke paas ruki. Kaala kavach hare rang ka teezab abhi bhi uske muh se tapak rha tha.

"Toh unhone naye hathiyar bana liye," Mesaka ne dheere se kaha par uske awaaz mein koi dar nhi tha. Ulta... uske honthon par ek kroor muskurahat aa gayi. "Kitne saalon baad mujhe aise dushman mile jo... thodi mehnat maangte hai."

Aage courtyard mein kayi saare sipahi lad rhe the. Mesaka ke bache hue yoddha apne kavach uthaye saamne wale mutant jalyakon se takra rhe the. Par har baar jab woh aage badhte acid unke kavach ko pighlata aur woh peeche hatne par majboor ho jaate.

Ek mutant ne ek sipahi ko pakda aur uske upar apna muh khola. Hara teezab seedhe sipahi ke chehre par gira.

"AAAHHHH!!!" Sipahi ki chillane ki awaaz Mesaka ke kaano mein padi.

Mesaka ke aankhe sankri ho gayi.

"Asim," Mesaka ne peeche bina dekhe kaha, "Sabko peeche bulao. Ab."

"Par Maharani-"

"ABHI!" Mesaka ki awaaz mein aisa zor tha ke Asim turant bhaag ke gaya aur baaki sipahiyon ko peeche bulane laga.

Mesaka aage badhi courtyard ke beech mein. Uske charon taraf mutant jalyak the. Pandrah... nahi bees. Aur har ek usse dekh rha tha unke kaale aankhen uske har harkat par tiki hui.

Ek mutant aage badha apna muh khol ke. Teezab bahar nikalne laga.

Mesaka ne apne dono haath aage kiye aur aankhe band kar li.

Achanak uske sharir se safed rang ke dhaage nikalne lage. Pehle kuch... fir sau... fir hazaaron. Dhaage hawa mein tair ke charon taraf failne lage jaise koi jivi vastu ho.


Dhaage itni tezi se faile ke mutant samajh bhi nahi paaye. Pure courtyard ko har kone ko har jagah ko dhagon ne dhaak liya. Ek jaadui jaal ban gaya tha jo zameen se lekar asmaan tak faila hua tha.

Mutant jinhone hamla karne ki koshish ki, woh jaal mein fas gaye. Jitna woh tapakte utna jaal majboot hota.

Mesaka ne apni gulabi aankhe kholi. Ab woh muskura rhe thein.

"Tumhe lagta hai mein itne aasani se mar jaungi?" Mesaka ne kaha, "Mein yahan ki RANI hoon!"

Usne ek haath hilaya aur jaal sakht ho gaya. Mutant jo fas chuke the, unka sharir dabne laga. Haddiyan tootne ki awaaz aa rhe thein.

Par baaki mutant samajhdar the. Unhone jaal se bachne ke liye neeche zameen mein ghusne ki koshish ki. Unke pairo ne zameen ko khodna shuru kiya.

Mesaka ne yeh dekha aur zor se hasi. "Sochte ho bhaag jaoge?"

Usne dono haath aur aage kiye. Iss baar uske dhagon ka rang badalne laga. Safed se... sunahera.

Sunahera dhaage un mutants tak pahunche jo zameen mein ghus rhe the. Jaise hi dhaage unhe chhue mutants ka sharir ruk gaya. Bilkul ruk gaya.

Pehle mutant ne apna sir upar kiya. Par ab uske aankhen... woh gulabi ho chuki thein. Mesaka jaise.

"Uth jao," Mesaka ne hukum diya.

Mutant khada ho gaya.

"Apne saathiyon par hamla karo."

Bina kuch socha mutant apne hi bhaaiyon ki taraf mud gaya aur hamla karne laga. Uske muh se teezab nikla par iss baar apne saathiyon par. Jo bhi un sunhere dhagon ke chapet mein aata uspe Mesaka ka kabu ho jata tha.

Mesaka ne ek ek karke saat mutants ko apne control mein le liya. Aur ab woh saare apas mein hi lad rhe the.

Peeche khade sipahi yeh sab dekh ke dang reh gye. Asim ke muh khula ka khula reh gaya.

"Yahi hai Maharani ki takat," Ek purana sipahi ne kaha, "Isliye woh Jalyak ke rani hai."

Par achanak... ek awaaz aayi. Gehri darwani awaaz.

"Lagta hai tumne apni poori takat dikha di, Rani Mesaka."

Charon taraf ke mutant peeche hate aur beech se ek naya makdi aaya. Yeh makdi baaki mutants se bilkul alag tha. Uska aakaar zyada bada tha, uske sharir par kaala kavach nhi balki hare rang ke nishaan the jo chamak rhe the. Uske aath pair bahut tez aur ghane the, aur uske aankhen...jisme koi daya nhi dikh rhe the.

"Kaun ho tum?" Mesaka ne pucha par uske awaaz mein thoda shanka aa gayi thi.

"Mera naam hai Drayvek," Makdi ne kaha, "Aur mein yahan tumhara ant karne aaya hoon."

Asim aage badhna chata tha par Mesaka ne haath uthakar use roka.

Drayvek ne apne ek pair ko zameen par mara. Achanak uske sharir se bhi dhaage nikalne lage. Par yeh dhaage Mesaka ke dhagon se bilkul alag the. Yeh gehre kaale rang ke the aur inmein se ek ajeeb si chamak aa rhe the.

"Tumhe lagta hai sirf tumhare paas jaal hai?" Drayvek ne kaha aur hasa.

Usne apne dhaage Mesaka ke jaal ki taraf phenke. Jaise hi dono jaal takraye, Mesaka ke safed dhaage katne lage. Kat ke neeche gir rhe the.

Mesaka ke aankhe badi ho gayi. "Yeh... yeh kaise ho skta hai?"

"Mere dhaage tut nhi skte," Drayvek ne kaha, aage badhte hue, "Yeh sabse mazboot vastu se bane hai. Tumhare jaal meri shakti ke saamne kuch bhi nhi hai."

Drayvek ne aur dhaage phenke jo seedhe Mesaka ki taraf aaye. Mesaka ne apne dhaagon se rokne ki koshish ki par woh kat gaye.

"Maharani!" Asim chillaya aur bhaag ke beech mein aa gaya.

Usne apne dhaage nikale aur Drayvek ke dhagon ko rokne ki koshish ki. Asim ke dhaage bhi mazboot the, bahut mazboot. Kuch pal tak dono ke dhaage takrate rahe.

"Hmm tum bhi acha ladte ho," Drayvek ne kaha, "Par kaafi nahi."

Drayvek ne ek aur pair hilaya aur uske muh se kuch bahar aaya. Gehre hare rang ka dhuan. Zeher.

"Nahi!" Mesaka chillaye.

Par bahut der ho chuki thi. Dravyek Asim tak pahunch gaya. Varak ne saans lene ki koshish ki par zeher uske andar ghus gaya.

"Maha...rani..." Asim ke muh se khoon niklne laga. Uske pair kaampne lage.

Drayvek ne ek aakhri waar kiya. Uske kaale dhaage Varak ke sharir ko cheerte hue andar ghus gaye aur fir... bahar se usko sarir ko phaad diye.

Asim ka sharir zameen par gira. Uski aankhen khuli ki khuli reh gayi.

"Asimmmm!!!" Mesaka ke chillane ki awaaz pure mahal mein goonji.

Mesaka ke aankhen laal ho gayi gusse se. Usne apne aath pair se zameen mein zor se maara. Pure courtyard mein dararein pad gayi.

"Tumne mera sabse wafadar sipahi maar diya," Mesaka ne kaha uske awaaz mein ab sirf gussa tha, "Ab tumhe marne mein mujhe bahut maza aayega."

Usne apne sunahera dhaage nikale aur Drayvek ki taraf phenke. Par Drayvek taiyaar tha. Usne apne kaale dhaage phenke jo sunahera dhagon se takraye.

Dono yoddha ab aapas mein lad rhe the. Mesaka ke dhaage aur Drayvek ke dhaage hawa mein takra rhe the, awaaz nikal rhe thein jaise talwarein takra rhe ho.

Mesaka uske sunahera dhaage Drayvek tak pahunchne ki koshish kar rhe the taaki use control kar sake. Par Drayvek ke kaale dhaage beech mein aake rok rhe the.

"Sochti ho mujhe par niyantran kar logi?" Drayvek ne kaha, "Mein bahut lambe samay se tayaari kar rha tha tumse ladne ki. Tumhari har chaal mujhe pata hai."

Drayvek ne apne sare dhaage ek saath phenke. Itne saare dhaage ke Mesaka bach nhi paayi. Kuch dhaage uske pair mein lapate kuch uske haathon mein.

Mesaka giri par usne haar nhi maani. Usne apne bache hue dhaage Drayvek par phenke par Drayvek ne unhe aaram se tod diye.

Drayvek Mesaka ke paas aaya. Usne apna ek tez pair upar uthaya.

"Ab tumhare ant ka samay aa gaya hai Rani Mesaka,"

Usne apna pair neeche mara jo seedhe Mesaka ki chaati mein ghusa.

"Aahhh!" Mesaka ki awaaz nikli. Uske muh se khoon nikalne laga.

Peeche se sipahi dekhte rahe, sab ke chehre par darr tha. Unki Rani har rhe thein.

Par achanak... Mesaka ke honthon par ek muskurahat aayi. Khoon ke beech bhi woh muskura rhe thein.

"Kya... sochte ho... itne aasani se... maar diya mujhe?" Mesaka ne kaha.

Drayvek ko kuch samajh nhi aaya.

Mesaka ke sharir mein dararein aane lagi. Safed rang ki roshni un dararon se nikal rhe the.

Mesaka ne kuch fusfusaya.

"Yeh kya?!? " Drayvek peeche hatne laga.

Par Mesaka ke sharir se ek ajeeb si roshni nikli jo seedhe peeche khadi Viyali tak pahunchi. Viyali jo yeh sab dekh rhe thein achanak uska sharir kaampne laga.

"Nahi... Maharani....." Viyali ki awaaz nikli par woh khud ko rok nhi paayi.

Mesaka ka purana sharir khali khol ki tarah zameen par gira. Aur Viyali ka sharir chamakne laga.

Viyali ke neele rang ka sharir badalne laga. Unke aankhe gulabi hone lagi. Unka aakaar badne laga. Aur sab se ajeeb... unke peeche se char aur pair nikle.

Kuch pal mein Viyali ki jagah ek nayi Mesaka khadi thi. Yeh Mesaka pehle se aur bhi zyada taqatwar lag rhe thein. Uske ab gyarah pair the, uska sharir pehle se bada tha aur uske gulabi aankhen ab sone ki chamak ke saath chamak rhe thein.



"Yeh... yeh kaise..." Drayvek peeche hata pehli baar uske awaaz mein darr tha.

Nayi Mesaka ne apna sir upar kiya aur zor se hasi. Uski hasi se pure mahal ki deewaren kaanp uthi.

"Tumne socha tha ke maar diya mujhe?" Nayi Mesaka ne kaha, "Mein itni aasani se nhi marti. Jalayak ke Maharani hamesha naya roop lene ke lie ek sevak taiyar rkhte hai!!! Aur ab... ab tumhe dikhati hoon asli shakti."

Mesaka ne apne gyarah pair zameen par ek saath mare. Awaaz itni tez thi ke Drayvek bhi apne ghutne tek ke gir gaya.

Fir Mesaka ne apne naye dhaage nikale. Par yeh dhaage pehle ke dhagon se bilkul alag the. Yeh laal the aur inmein se ek tez roshni nikal rhe the.

Laal dhaage itni tezi se nikle ke Drayvek samajh nhi paaya. Unhone Drayvek ke kaale dhagon ko cheerte hue ek taraf phenk diya. Kaale dhaage jo tod nhi skte the... woh ab toot gaye the.

"Nahi! Yeh asamaanbhav hai!" Drayvek chillaya.

Mesaka ke laal dhaage Drayvek ke charon pair mein lapate. Jitna Drayvek chutne ki koshish karta utna dhaage tight hote.

"Mere naye roop mein," Mesaka ne kaha aage badhte hue, "Meri takat dus guna badh jaati hai. Isliye Viyali ko meine itna bada kiya tha. Lekin Tumhari murkhta ke wajah se mein aur takatvar banane se reh gyi. Par fir bhi ab tumhare jaal mere aage kuch bhi ab kuch nhi hai."

Mesaka ne aur laal dhaage nikale jo Drayvek ke muh ke aas paas lapate. Ab Drayvek apna zeher bhi nhi nikaal sakta tha.

"Tumne mera sabse wafadar sipahi maara," Mesaka ne kaha, Drayvek ke bilkul paas aa ke "Tumne mujhe takleef di. Aur ab... ab tum meri mehmaandaari dekhoge."

Mesaka ne apne sunahera dhaage bhi nikale. Yeh dhaage Drayvek ke sharir mein ghusne lage.

Drayvek ki aankhe badalne lagi. Nili se... gulabi.

"Nahi... nahi... mujhe...!!!!" Drayvek bade mushkil se bola.

Par Mesaka ne suna nhi. Uske sunahere dhaage ab Drayvek ke pure sharir ko dhaak chuke the.

Kuch pal baad Drayvek ki aankhe puri tarah gulabi ho gayi. Uska sharir shaant ho gaya.

"Ab uth jao," Mesaka ne hukum diya.

Drayvek khada ho gaya jaise koi kathputli ho.

"Apne bhaaiyon ko maaro aur isko samapt karo ab."

Drayvek bina kuch socha palat gaya aur apne hi mutant bhaaiyon par hamla karne laga. Uske kaale dhaage jo tut nhi skte the ab apne hi logo ko maar rhe the.

Baaki mutant yeh dekh ke darr gaye. Unka sabse taqatwar yoddha ab dushman ka gulam ban gaya tha.

"Bhaago!" Ek mutant chillaya.

Saare mutant bhaagne lage deewar mein ched ke taraf. Par Mesaka ne unhe aasani se jaane nhi diya. Usne apne laal dhaage phenke jo kayi mutants ko pakad ke wahi maar diye.

Kuch mutant bhagne mein safal ho gaye. Par jitne yaahan the sab ke sab maar diye gaye.

Jab sab khatam ho gaya, Mesaka wahan khadi rhe Drayvek uske paas khada tha gulabi aankhen liye, Mesaka ka control mein.

Peeche se saare sipahi ek awaaz mein chillaye, "Maharani Mesaka ki jai! Jai! Jai!"

Mesaka ne Asim ke sharir ki taraf dekha jo zameen par pada tha. Uske gulabi aankhen thodi dukhi ho gayi.

"Tumhari qurbani yaad rakhi jayegi Asim," Mesaka ne dheere se kaha.

Fir usne Drayvek ki taraf dekha. "Tumhe mein pinjre mein rakhungi. Jab jarurat hogi tab tum mere liye ladoge. Yahi hai tumhari saza."

Drayvek ne gulabi aankhen liye bas sir hilaya. Woh ab sirf ek kathputli tha ab.

Mesaka ne courtyard ki taraf dekha jahan tabahi machhi hui thi. Usne gehri saans li.

"Yeh jung ab aur lambi chalegi," Mesaka ne apne sipahiyon se kaha, "Par hum jeetenge. Kyuki mein Jalraaj ki Rani hoon. Aur koi bhi mujhe yahan se nhi hata skta. Koi bhi nhi haha haaha!!!"



****


Karan kursi par baitha hua tha Akansha ke palang ke bilkul bagal mein. Raat guzar chuki thi par uski aankhen abhi bhi khuli thi. Woh baar baar Akansha ko dekh rha tha unke chere par ek santusti thi. Jane kis baat ko lekar?



"Mausi theek ho jayengi na?" Karan ne khud se pucha.

Meher aur Kairav dono chup the. Dono ko pata tha ke Karan bahut pareshaan hai.

Raat dheere dheere guzarti gayi. Mashaalein jal rhe thein jo kamre mein halki roshni de rhe thein. Karan ka sir dheere dheere neeche jhukne laga. Uski aankhen band hone lagi.

"Bas... thodi der... aur..." Karan ne khud se kaha par woh itna thak gaya tha ke uski aankhen band ho gayi.

Uska sir kursi ke peeche ki taraf jhuk gaya aur woh gehri neend mein so gaya.

***

Subah ki pehli kiran kamre mein aayi. Karan ki aankhen dheere se khuli. Usne ek baar apna gala saaf kiya aur apne gardaan ko ghumaya jo akad gayi thi.

"Uff... kitni buri tarah se need lag gye," Karan ne khud se kaha.

Fir achanak use yaad aaya Akansha!!!!

Usne jhatke se palang ki taraf dekha par... Akansha wahan nhi thi. Palang khali thi chadar ek taraf hati hui thi.

"Mausi?" Karan khada ho gaya kamre mein charon taraf dekhte hue. "Mausi kahan hai?"

Par kamra khali tha.

Karan ke dil ki dhakan tez ho gayi. Woh bhaag ke bahar aaya. Corridor mein do aurat sewika jhaadu laga rhe thein.

"Tumne... tumne ek aurat ko dekha yahan se?" Karan ne jaldi se pucha, "Neele rang ki... woh... woh mere saath thi?"

Dono sewikon ne ek dusre ko dekha aur fir muskurayi.

"Haan, woh toh jag gayin bahut der pehle," Ek sewika ne kaha, "Hum unhe sab kuch samjha diye. Woh ab shaant hai."

"Kahan hai woh?" Karan ne pucha.

Dusri sewika ne kamre ki taraf ishara kiya. "Shayad woh nahane gaye hai andar."

Karan ne rahat ki saans li. "Theek hai... shukriya."

Woh wapas kamre ke andar aaya. Ek taraf ek darwaza tha jo band tha. Wahan se pani ki halki awaaz aa rhe thein.

Karan ne darwaze ke paas ja ke dheere se dastak di.

"Kaun hai?" Andar se Akansha ki awaaz aayi.

"Mausi? Mein hoon... Karan," Karan ne jawab diya.

Kuch pal ki khamoshi rahi. Fir Akansha ne kaha, "Andar aa jao."

Karan chaunk gaya. "K-kya? Par aap-"

"aa jao Karan,"

Karan ne darwaza dheere se khola aur andar jhanka. Kamra chhota tha par achha bana hua tha. Beech mein ek bada pathar ka hauz tha jisme pani bhara hua tha. Aur Akansha... woh hauz ke kinare baithi thi pani se bahar. Unke baal geele the aur pani ki boonde unke neele chamdi par chamak rhe thein.




"M-mausi... mujhe laga ke... matlab aap theek hai na?" Karan ne hadbadate hue pucha, darwaze ke paas hi khada rahte hue.

Akansha ne halke se hasi. "Haan Karan... ab bilkul theek hoon. Subah jab uthi toh sewikon ne sab bataya. Ke kaise tumne mujhe bachaya."

"N-nahi... woh toh..." Karan abhi bhi neeche dekh rha tha.

"Karan," Akansha ne uska naam liya, "Idhar dekho mujhe."

Karan ne dheere se upar dekha. Akansha uske taraf muskura rhe thein, par yeh muskurahat... kuch alag thi. Kuch ajeeb se.

"Tum bahut....bahut bahaddur ho Karan," Akansha ne kaha, "Itne khatare mein bhi tumne meri chinta ki."

"Aap... aap meri Mausi hai," Karan ne kaha, "Mein aapko kaise-"

"Mausi," Akansha ne yeh shabd dohraaya, thoda ajeeb tarike se. "Haan... mein tumhari Mausi hoon. Par kabhi kabhi... mujhe lagta hai ke tum mujhe Mausi se zyada kuch samajhte ho."

Karan ke aankhe badi ho gayi. "M-matlab? Mera matlab... mujhe samajh nhi aaya."

Akansha khadi hui pani hauz se kinare par. Saree kapda unke sharir par chipka hue the geele hone ki wajah se. Woh dheere dheere Karan ki taraf badhi.

Karan ke pair jaise jameen mein jad gaye the. Woh hil nhi pa rha tha unhe sundarata dekhar.

Akansha ab bilkul paas aa chuki thein. Unke geele baal unke kandhe par the aur pani ki boonde ab bhi unke chehre se girte ja rhe thein.

"Tum jaante ho Karan," Akansha ne dheere se kaha unki awaaz mein ek alag si sur thi, "Jab tumne mujhe bachane ke liye woh khatra liya... jab tumne meri taraf uss tarike se dekha jab mein zameen par padi thi... mujhe laga ke shayad... shayad tum mujhe kuch aur samajhte ho."

"Mausi aap... aap theek toh hai na?" Karan ne pucha, peeche hatne ki koshish karte hue par uski peeth darwaze se lag gayi.

Akansha ne apna haath aage badha kar Karan ke gaal par rakha. Unka haath thanda aur geela tha. "Bilkul theek hoon Karan. Pehli baar bahut lambe samay baad... bilkul aise mehsoos kar rhe ho jaise Ravisha ke baad mujhe apna koi saathi Mila hai."

Karan ke saans tez ho gayi. "M-mausi... shayad aapko aur aaram karna chahiye. Woh zeher... shayad abhi bhi-"

"Zeher?" Akansha hasi, "Zeher toh nikal gaya Karan. Jo ab andar hai... woh kuch aur hai."

Unke gulabi aankhe Karan ki aankhen mein dekh rhe thein. Bahut gaur se.

"Tum itne jawan ho," Akansha ne kaha, "Aur itne mazboot bhi. Jab tumne woh talwarein chalai... jab tumhari aankhe safed ho gayi thi... mujhe bahut darr laga. Par saath saath... kuch aur bhi mehsoos hua."

"M-mausi yeh sab..." Karan ka gala sukh gaya tha.

Akansha ne apna dusra haath bhi Karan ke dusre gaal par rakha. Ab woh Karan ka chehra dono haathon mein pakde hue thein.

"Karan," Akansha ne fusfusaya, "Kabhi kabhi... kuch rishte naam se zyada gehre hote hai. Samajh rahe ho?"

"Haaaa," Karan ne sach mein kaha, "Mujhe kuch samajh nhi aa rha."

Akansha ke honthon par ek muskurahat aayi. Woh Karan ke bahut paas aa gayi, itna paas ke Karan unki saans mehsoos kar sakta tha.

Karan ne unki taraf dekha. Unki gulabi aankhen ab bilkul paas thi, aur unki saans ki garmaahat uske chehre par mehsoos ho rahi thi. “Koi baat nahi mausi... par aap sach mein theek ho na?”

Akanksha ne muskuraya, aur is baar muskaan mein woh sur tha jo pehle tha. Woh dheere se Karan ke paas sarki, aur unka haath uske kandhe par chala gaya. “Haan Karan. Bilkul theek. Aur tum... tum mere liye itna kar rahe ho. Mujhe... mujhe bhi tumhare liye kuch karna hai...mmmmm.”

Karan ka dil fir se tez hua par is baar darr ke saath kuch aur bhi tha. Woh jaanta tha ke unka rishta ab pehle jaisa nahi raha. Pehle bhi... pehle bhi kai baar aisa hua tha raat ke andhere mein jab koi nahi dekh raha hota. Yeh unka raaz tha ek aisa rishta jo mausi-beta se bahut aage badh chuka tha.

Akanksha ne apna chehra Karan ke chehre ke paas laaya aur dheere se uske honthon par apne honth rakh diye aur dono saath mein neeche baith gye.



Karan ki aankhen band ho gayi aur woh chumban mein kho gaya. Unka chumban dheere dheere gehra hota gaya Akanksha ki jeebh uske muh mein ghus gayi, aur woh dono ek doosre ko choomte hue saans le rahe the.

“Mmm... Karan...” Akanksha ne karahte hue kaha chumban todte hue. Unka haath ab Karan ke seene par tha uski shirt ke andar haath daalte hue.

Karan ne bhi apne haath Akanksha ki kamar par rakhe unki saadi ke oopar se unki kamar ko sehlaate hue. “mausi... Aap bahut sundar ho- Par abhi halat mein yeh shi hai?!?”

Akanksha ne haskar kaha, “Karan hum dono jaante hain yeh sahi hai. Ab chup... aur mujhe mehsoos karo.”

Woh fir se chumban karne lagi is baar aur zor se. Karan ke haath ab unki peeth par the saadi ko dheela karte hue. Hauz ke paas baithkar, paani ki halki chhapak unke kaanon mein gunj rahi thi.

Kuch der baad Akanksha ne chumban toda aur saans lete hue kaha, “Karan... aao na, saath mein nahaate hain. Yeh paani itna garam hai... aur tumhare saath... mujhe aur garam mehsoos ho raha hai.”

Karan ne sir hilaaya uska chehra laal ho gaya tha. Woh khada hua, aur Akanksha ko haath pakadkar khada kiya. Dono hauz ke andar utar gaye Akanksha abhi bhi saadi mein thi. Paani unke ghutnon tak tha, aur saadi geeli hokar unke sharir se chipak gayi.

“Aah... yeh paani... kitna achha lag raha hai,” Akanksha ne karaaha, apne haathon se paani uthakar Karan ke chehre par daala.

Karan hasa aur usne bhi paani uthaya. Dono has-has kar paani mein khelne lage, par jaldi hi yeh khel chumban mein badal gaya. Karan uske honthon ko choomne laga. Uska haath ab saadi ke andar tha unki jaanghon ko sehlaate hue.

“Mmm... Karan... aur zor se,” Akanksha ne fusfusaya apne haath se Karan ki kurta utaarte hue.

Karan ne apni shirt utaar di, aur ab woh sirf pant mein tha.



Akanksha ke haath uske seene par the. Dono paani mein chumban karte hue.

Fir Akanksha ne kaha, “Bahar chalo Karan... mujhe tumhe dekhna hai.”

Dono hauz se bahar aaye, paani ki boondein unke shariron se gir rahi thi. Akanksha ne Karan ko wahan baithaya, aur khud uske saamne khadi ho gayi.

Karan ne dheere se Akanksha ki saadi ka pallu pakda aur dheela kiya. Saadi dheere dheere khulti gayi aur jaise hi woh giri, Akanksha sirf ab underwear mein the. Uska sharir chamak raha tha geela aur mulayam.

“Mausi... tum kitni sundar ho,” Karan ne kaha, apne haath se unki kamar pakadte hue.

Akanksha muskurayi, aur dheere se ghutnon ke bal baith gayi, charon haath pairon par. Woh Karan ke paas aayi jaise koi billi,



aur uske pant ke oopar se uske ling ko sehlaane lagi.

“Mmm... Karan... yeh... yeh kitna sakht ho gaya hai,” Akanksha ne karaaha apne honthon se uske pant par chumban karte hue.

Karan ki saans tez ho gayi. “mausiii... aah...”

Akanksha ne pant ka naada khola, aur uska ling baahar nikaala. Woh ab bilkul tana hua tha, garam aur sakht. Akanksha ne apne haath se usko pakda aur dheere se hilaane lagi.

“Aah... Karan... mujhe yeh chahiye,” woh boli, aur fir apne muh mein le liya.

Karan ne apna sir peeche jhuka diya, “Ooh... Mauu... mmm...”

Akanksha ne uske ling ko muh mein liya jeebh se chaatte hue. Woh dheere dheere andarbahaar karne lagi, apne haathon se uske andkosh ko sehlaate hue. Karan ke haath unke baalon mein the, unko pakadkar guide karte hue.

“Aah... aur zor se... Mausi... ooh haan... aise hi,” Karan karaah raha tha, uski aankhen bandh thi.

Akanksha ne gati badha di uske ling ko gehre gale tak lete hue. Unki awaaz gunj rahi thi chat chat jaise woh poora muh bhar rahi thi. Karan ka sharir kaanp raha tha, par woh niyantran karne ki koshish kar raha tha.

Kuch der baad Akanksha ne muh se uske ling ko nikaala, aur saans lete hue kaha, “Ab... ab baaki kapde?.”

Karan ne unko khada kiya aur bra ke button khole. Uske stan baahar aa gaye bade aur mulayam nipple sakht. Karan ne unko muh mein liya chooste hue.

“Aah... Karan... mmm... chooso... aur zor se,” Akanksha karaah rahi thi apne haath se uska sir dabaate hue.

Fir Karan ne uske panty pakadar neeche keech di ek jhatke mein, aur woh neeche gir gye. Akanksha ab bilkul nangi thi unki yoni geeli aur chamak rahi thi.

Akanksha ne Karan ko zameen par baithaya aur uski god mein baith gayi.



Dono aamne saamne Akanksha ke stan Karan ke seene se lag rahe the. Woh fir se chumban karne lage.

“Mmm... Karan... tumhara ling... mujhe mehsoos ho raha hai,” Akanksha ne kaha, apni yoni ko uske ling par ragadte hue.

Karan ne apne haath se usko pakda, aur dheere se andar daala. “Aah... Mausi... kitni tight ho tum...”

Akanksha ne karaaha, “Ooh... Karan... andar... poora andar... aah!”

Woh dheere dheere oopar neeche hone lagi, uske ling par baithkar. Karan ke haath unki kamar par the, unko oopar neeche karte hue. Dono karaah rahe the, saans tez thi.

“Aah... Karan... tez... mmm... aise hi... ooh bhagwan... tum kitne mazboot ho,” Akanksha chillayi, uski aankhen band ho rhe thein.

Karan ne gati badha di, unko zor se thokte hue. Unki yoni geeli thi chhap-chhap ki awaaz aa rahi thi. Akanksha ke stan uchal rahe the Karan unko pakadkar dabaata.

“Mmm... Mausi... tumhari yoni... kitni garam hai... aah,” Karan bola.

Kuch der yun hi chalta raha, dono paseene se bheeg gaye. Fir Akanksha ne kaha, “Ab... Mere pair jakad gye Hain.”

Karan ne usko god mein uthaya,

aur deewar ke paas le gaya. Akanksha ko deewar se laga diya unke pair zameen par uske hoothon ko chuste hue. Woh khadi thi peeche se deewar ka sahaara lie.



Karan ne apna ling fir se unki yoni par rakha, aur dheere se andar dhakela. “Aah......”

“Ooh... Karan... zor se... thoko mujhe... aah!” Akanksha karaah rahi thi apne haath deewar par rakhe.

Karan ne unki kamar pakdi aur zor-zor se dhakke maarne laga. Uski yoni mein uska ling andar bahaar ho raha tha, tez-tez. Awaaz gunj rahi thi thap thap thap.

“Aah... Karan... haan... aise... aur gehra... mmm... tum mujhe paagal kar rahe ho,” Akanksha chillayi.

Karan ke haath ab unke stanon par the, unko dabaate hue. Akanksha ka sharir kaanp raha tha woh charmotkarsh ke paas thi.

“Ooh... Karan... main... main aa rahi hoon... aah... andar hi daalo...aaj koi khatra nhi hai!” Akanksha ne chillaya.

Karan ne gati aur badha di uska garam ling unki yoni ko cheerta hua mehsoos ho raha tha. “Aah... Mausi... main bhi... ooh!”

Fir woh dono saath mein jhad gaye. Karan ka veery unki yoni mein bhar gaya, garam aur chipchipa. Akanksha ki yoni sikud rahi thi, usko doodh ki tarah nichodte hue.

“Aah... mmm... Karan... yeh... yeh adbhut tha,” Akanksha ne saans lete hue kaha apna sir uske kandhe par rakhte hue.

Dono wahi khade rahe, saans lete hue ek-doosre ko gale lagaye. Paani ki boondein abhi bhi gir rahi thi, par ab unmein unka paseena mil gaya tha. Yeh unka rishta tha gopniya, garam, aur ab aur gehra.

Jiske liye Karan ko abhi bahut ladna tha.

Chapter 28
Against the Flow


Payal us kachche jhodpi ke bahar baithi hui thi jo nadi ke kinare banaya gaya tha. Uski nigahen nadi ke us paar sthir thi jahan dushman ke skeleton sena apni vibhishika failaye khade the. Shaam ka dhundhala suraj ab khatam hone wala tha aur uski aakhri kiranein nadi ke paani par laal rang ki chamak rhi thein.



Payal lekin ke ungliyan lagatar apne khanjar ke moth par phir rhi thi ek aadat jo usne saalo ki ladaiyon se seekhi thi. Uski aankhen thaki hui thi lekin woh jhapak bhi nhi rhi thi. Woh har ek skeleton ko gin rhi thi unki harkaton ko dekh rhi thi.

Nadi ke us paar haddiyon ki woh fauj ek ajeeb si khamoshi mein khadi thi. Kabhi kabhi unme se ek do aage badhte the nadi ki taraf lekin jaise hi paani ke kareeb pahunchte peeche hat jaate the. Yeh baat Payal ko ajeeb lag rhi thi. Kya woh paani se dar rhe the? Ya kuch aur baat thi?

Uske kandhe par halki si thakan ka bojh thi pichle teen din se lagatar ladai chal rhi thi. Uski sena jo pehle sattar yoddhao ki thi, ab aadhi reh gayi thi. Kuch mar gaye the, kuch itne ghaayal ho gaye the ke woh ab lad nhi skte the. Aur yeh skeleton sena...yeh kabhi thakti hi nhi thi. Na soti thi, na khaati thi, na hi inhe dard mehsoos hota tha. Bas aage badhti rehti thi, ek atalata ke saath jo kisi bhi zinda insaan mein nhi ho skti thi.

Payal ne gehri saans li. Uske dimaag mein kai sawal ghoom rhe the. Kaise iss sena ko harayen? Kaise apne bache hue yoddhao ko bachaye? Aur sabse badi baat kitni der tak woh iss nadi ke kinare rok sakte the is fauj ko?

Tabhi peeche se kadam ki awaaz aayi. Payal ne peeche mudkar dekha. Prachi aa rhi thi uske chehre par chinta aur thakan saaf dikh rhe the. Uske baal bikhar gaye the, aur uske mathe par pasine ki boondein chamak rhi thi. Uske peeche chhota Veleys, uchal kood karta hua aa rha tha.

Prachi ne Payal ke paas aate hi apne ghutne tekh diye, saans phooli hui. "Rajkumari Payal," usne kaha, uski awaaz mein chinta thi, "maine abhi Aaditya aur Harish se baat ki."



Payal turant seedhi ho gayi uski poori tawajjo ab Prachi par thi. "Kya kaha unhone? Dusri kinare ki sthiti kaisi hai?"

Prachi ne apne chehre par gire hue baal ko peeche karte hue kaha, "Buri. Bahut buri, Payal. Hamare yoddha wahan bahut mushkil se lad rhe hain. Dushman sena baar baar hamla kar rhi hai...aur hamare jawan...woh thak gaye hain. Bahut zyada ghaayal ho gaye hain." Usne thodi si saans li phir aage boli, "Aaditya keh rha hai ke agar hum abhi peeche nhi hate toh...toh bahut bhaari nuksaan hoga. Woh wapas aana chahte hain."

Payal ke jbadon mein akdan aayi. Uski aankhen ek pal ke liye band hui, jaise woh apne andar ke gusse ko tham rhi ho. Phir usne aankhe kholi aur seedhe Prachi ki taraf dekha. "Kitne log bache hain wahan? Hamare yoddhao mein se kitne lad sakte hain abhi bhi?"

Prachi ne apne hont dabaye, jaise iska jawab dena use takleef de rha ho. "Tees. Sirf tees, Rajkumari Payal. Aur woh bhi sab theek haalat mein nhi hain. Kuch ke haath toote hain, kuch ki tangein ghaayal hain...woh bas kisi tarah lad rhe hain."

"Tees," Payal ne dheere se dohraaya, uski awaaz mein ek gehri niraasha thi. Usne apni nigah phir se nadi ke us paar ki taraf ghumayi, jahan skeleton sena abhi bhi khadi thi. "Aur unke paas kitne hain abhi bhi?"

Prachi ne apne kandhe gira diye. "Sau se zyada. Shayad sau das, sau bees. Humne kai maar giraaye hain, lekin...lekin inka koi ant nhi lag rha. Jitne hum marenge utne hi phir se khade ho jaate hain. Jaise unhe koi...koi shakti phir se jod rhi ho."

Payal ne apne daant dabaye. Yeh sab uski samajh se bahar tha. Normal yoddha, normal dushman unhe woh samajh skti thi unse lad skti thi. Lekin yeh skeletons jo maut ke baad bhi lad rhe the unse ek alag hi jung thi. Yeh sirf talwaron aur bhaalon se jeeti jaane wali ladai nhi thi.

"Koi kamzori?" Payal ne achanak pucha uski awaaz tez

"Kya tumne ya Aaditya ne kuch dekha? Kuch bhi jo humein fayda de sake?"

Prachi ne thoda sochte hue apne haathon ko aapas mein ragda. "Haan...ek baat hai jo humne dhayn di hai ki. Woh...woh jaan boojh kar paani se bach rhe hain."

Payal ke bhauhen uthi. "Matlab?"

"Matlab," Prachi ne aage samjhate hue kaha, "jab bhi koi kankaal nadi ke paas aata hai woh bilkul kinare tak aata hai lekin paani mein nhi utarta. Aaditya ne kaha ke ek baar unhone ek skeleton ko dhakka dekar paani mein gira diya tha...aur woh turant bikharne laga. Uski haddiyan alag hone lagi. Jaise paani mein koi aisi cheez ho jo unhe tod rhi ho."

Payal ki aankhen chamak uthi. Yeh woh jaankari thi jiska woh intezaar kar rhi thi. Paani. Paani unki kamzori hai. Shayad yeh woh chabi thi jisse is jung ko palta ja sake.

Usne apne dimag mein turant ek yojana banana shuru ho gye. Agar skeleton paani mein kamzor ho jaate hain, toh shayad...shayad woh is nadi ko apna hathiyar bana sakti hai. Lekin iske liye use kuch yojna chaiye the. Kuch aisa jo use kuch aisa karna hoga jo skeletons ko paani mein aane ke liye majboor kar de.

"Lakshya kahan hai?" Payal ne achanak pucha.

Prachi ne apne ek haath se Veleys ko sahlaaya jo uske paas aa kar baith gaya tha uski chhoti si doom hilate hue. "Woh ghaayalon ke paas hai. Unki marham patti kar rha hai. Bahut saare yoddha buri tarah se ghaayal hain, Payal. Kuch ko toh ab ladne layak bhi nhi chhoda ja sakta."

Payal ne ek lambi saans li. Lakshya. Woh bahut zaroori tha uski agli yojana ke liye. Woh VanRajya ka sabse behtar Ved tha, aur use nadion aur paani ki bahut gehri samajh thi.

"Kitni naaven taiyar ki ja sakti hain ek din mein?" Payal ne achanak pucha, uski aankhen Prachi par tiki hui.

Prachi thodi hairan hui is sawaal se. "Naaven? Payal, tumhara matlab?!?"

"Jawab do," Payal ne beech mein kaha, uski awaaz mein ek ajeeb sa dhairyya tha. "Kitni naaven ek din mein taiyar ki ja sakti hain? Chhoti furti wali, jo paani mein aasani se chal sake."

Prachi ne thoda socha. Uske dimaag mein bhi ab samajh aa rha tha ke Payal kya soch rhi hai. "Chaar...shayad paanch. Agar hum sab log mil kar kaam karein toh. Lekin Payal, naavon ka kya karogi? Hum kahan ja rhe hain?"

Payal ne apna sir hilaya, uske hothon par halki si muskaan aayi, ek aisi muskaan jo sirf tab aati hai jab koi bahut badi aur khatarnak yojana dimaag mein ban rhi hoti hai. "Abhi woh tumhe batane ka waqt nhi hai, Prachi. Pehle mujhe Lakshya se baat karni hai. Mujhe use yahin bulao. Jaldi."

Prachi ne haan mein sir hilaya. Woh samajh gayi thi ke Payal ke dimaag mein kuch chal rha hai, kuch aisa jo shayad unhe iss mushkil se nikal sake. Usne khadi hote hue apni kamzor tangon par jor diya aur Veleys ko bhi apne saath aane ka ishara kiya.

"Main abhi bhejti hoon use," Prachi ne kaha aur woh mudne lagi.

"Prachi," Payal ne use rokne ke liye pukaara. Prachi ruk gayi aur peeche mudi.

"Haan?"

Payal ne uski aankhen dekhi, gehrayi se. "Hamare jawan...jo tees bache hain...unhe kaho ke woh himmat na haare. Hum yeh ladai haar nhi rhe. Main kuch karungi. Bas thodi der aur, Prachi. Bas thodi der."

Prachi ke chehre par thodi si rahat aayi. Usne haan mein sir hilaya aur chali gayi, uske peeche Veleys bhi uchalte hue chala gaya uske chhote paron ki awaaz mitti par halki si thap thap karti kar rhe the.


"Paani tumhari kamzori hai," Payal ne dheere se apne aap se kaha, jaise woh un skeleton se baat kar rhi ho. "Aur ab main usi paani se tumhe khatam karungi."

Usne apne khanjar ko uthaya aur uski dhar ko dekha. Talwar ki dhaar par chaand ki roshni chamki aur Payal ko apni saari pichli ladaiyan yaad aa gayi. Yeh ladai bhi woh jeetegi. Chahe jo bhi ho.

Kuch der baad door se kadam ki awaaz aayi. Payal ne peeche mudkar dekha. Lakshya aa rha tha uske haath khoon se sane hue the ghaayalon ki marham patti karne se. Uska chehra thaka hua tha, lekin jaise hi usne Payal ko dekha, usne apni kamar seedhi ki aur tezi se uske paas aaya.

"Rajkumari Payal," Lakshya ne kaha uski saans abhi bhi phuli hui thi, "Prachi ne kaha aapne bulaya hai?"

Payal ne haan mein sir hilaya aur apne bagal mein zameen par haath maara. "Baitho, Lakshya. Mujhe tumse kuch zaroori baat karni hai. Bahut zaroori."

Lakshya baith gaya, uski aankhen Payal ke chehre par tiki hui. Usne dekha ke Payal ke aankhen chamak rhi thi.

"Bataiye Rajkumari," Lakshya ne kaha. "Kya karna hai?"

Payal ne nadi ki taraf ishara kiya. "Hum iss nadi ko apna sabse bada hathiyar banaane wale hain Lakshya. Aur iske liye mujhe tumhari aur Harish Kaka ke madad chahiye."

Lakshya ne Payal ke chehre ko dhyan se dekha, phir nadi ko phir us paar khadi skeleton sena ko. Aur dheere dheere uski samajh mein bhi aane laga ke Payal ke dimag mein kya chal rha hai.

"Bataiye," usne phir se kaha, lekin iss baar uski awaaz mein ek naya josh tha. "Hum par yeh kaise karenge?"

Payal ne muskurate hue apni yojana batani shuru ki.


***

Karan ne jhatke se Meher ko apne haath mein nikala aur peeche mudke block kar liya.

"CLANG!!!"

Dhatuon ke awaaz charon taraf goonji. Saamne ek makdi ka siphai khada tha, uske dono haathon mein do curved blades chamak rhe the Chand ke roshni mein. Uske aath pair zameen par majbooti se jame hue the, aur uske aankhe... woh kaale the bilkul andheron jaise par uske sharir par japde ke neeche hare rang ke chadar se chayi hue thi.

"Tum kon ho?" Karan ne zor se pucha apne blade ko taiyar rkhte hue.

Jawab ke jagah soldier ne bass apne dono blades ko cross kiya aur bina kuch kahe Karan pe hamla kar diya.

"Whoosh!!!"

Pehla blade Karan ke gale ke taraf aaya. Karan ne jhatke se neeche jhuka blade uske baalon ke upar se kat ke nikal gaya. Dusra blade turant hi neeche se aaya uske pet ke taraf. Karan ne peeche jump karke dodge kiya.

"Masster!" Meher ke awaaz uske dimaag mein chillaye.

Siphai dobara aage badha iss baar uske blades ek rhythm mein chal rhe the - left, right, left, right. Karan peeche peeche hota gaya har ek attack ko dodge karta hua. Uske pair ek patther par phisla aur woh balance khone laga.

Siphai ne yeh dekha aur turant upar se ek jor ka hamla kiya. Karan ne dono haathon se Meher ko pakad ke upar uthaya blades Meher se takra ke sparks nikale. Par jor itna tha ke Karan ke ghutne mud gye woh neeche gir gaya.

"Argh!" Karan ke muh se awaaz nikli.

Siphai wahi ruk gaya, apne blades ko ek taraf jhukaye. Fir achanak uske nazar bagal mein baithi Akansha par padi.

Karan ke aankhe bade ho gye jab usne usse Akansha ke taraf bhaagte hue dekha. "NAHI!!!"

Akansha dar ke maare peeche renge lagi par uske par woh tezi se chal nhi kar pa rhe thein.

Soldier ne apna blade upar uthaya aur

"KARAN!!!" Akansha chillaye.

Par Karan pehle se hi hawa mein tha. Gusse se uske aankhe safed ho chuki thein. "TUMNE GALTI KAR DI!!!"

Usne hawa mein Meher ko dono haathon se pakda aur pure zor se neeche ki taraf strike kiya. Sipahi ne last moment mein apna blade ghuma ke block karne ki koshish ki par Karan ke force itne jayda thi ke dono blades takrate hi soldier ka blade uske haath se door ja gira.

"Dham!!!"

Karan zameen par gira aur bina ruke ek aur baar uspe hamla kiya. Siphai ne bache hue blade se block kiya par Karan ruka nhi. Ek ke baad ek strikes, har ek pehle se zyada takatavar.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!!"

Siphai peeche hota gaya. Uske movements ab defensive ho gye the.

"Masster! Abhi chance hai!" Meher chillaye.

Karan ne ek baar apna blade upar ki taraf swing kiya jisse soldier ka bhi blade upar chala gaya. Soldier ka guard khula pad gaya. Karan ne turant neeche se ek kick mari jo seedhe soldier ke chest mein lagi.

"Ughh!!!"

Siphai peeche ki taraf udke ek ped se ja takraya. Karan bhagte hue uske paas pahuncha aur Meher ko uske gale pe rakha.

"Naam batao! Kisne bheja tumhe yahan?!" Karan ke awaaz mein gussa tha, "Bolo nahi toh abhi khatam kar dunga tumhe!"

Siphai ne kuch nhi kaha bass apne kaale aankhen Karan mein dekhe jaa rha tha.

"BOLO!!!" Karan ne aur zor se blade press kiya, thodi si cut lag gayi sipahi ke gale par.

"Karan ruko!" Peeche se Akansha ke awaaz aayi.

Karan ne peeche mudke dekha toh Akansha dheere dheere bhagte hue uske taraf aa rhe the.

"Mausi aap theek ho?" Karan ne pucha par apna blade soldier ke gale se nhi hataya.

Akansha paas aayi aur siphai ko gaur se dekhne lagi. Unke aankhe sankri ho gayi. "Karan... yeh Mesaka ka siphai nhi hai."

"Kya?" Karan chauk gaya, "Par yeh yahan-"

"Dekho," Akansha ne siphai ke japde ke neeche ki ishara kiya. Wahan ek azeeb kaim ke hare rang ke parat ka mark tha, jo chand ki roshni mein halka sa glow kar rha tha. "Yeh mark... meine pehle dekha hai. Yeh Jalyak ke sache sipahiyon ka hota hai."

Karan ne blade thoda hataya par siphai ko chodha nhi.

Siphai ne ant mein apna muh khola, uske awaaz rough thi. "Haan... mein Mesaka ka sevak nhi hoon."

"Toh tumne hamla kyu kiya?" Karan ne gusse se pucha.

"Kyuki tum log Mesaka ke doot ho," siphai ne seedhe awaaz mein kaha, "Tum dono yahan hamare ilake mein ghus aaye. Hamare nirdesh hai ke koi bhi jo Mesaka ke saath hai unhe pakad ke hamare leader ke paas laya jaye."

Akansha aage badhi uske neele skin chand ke roshni mein chamak rhi thi "Hum Mesaka ke doot nhi hai."

Siphai ke aankhe Akansha par ghumi. Usne unhe gaur se dekha, uske neele azeeb tarah ke skin, uska khoobsurat roop.

"Hum asal mein Vanraajya se aaye hai," Akansha ne dheeme par vishwas bhari awaaz mein kaha.

Siphai ke body thodi jakad gayi. "Vanraaj se? Jhooth mat bolo. Vanraajya ke log yahan kyu aayenge?"

"Sach bol rhe hoon mein," Akansha ne aage badh ke kaha, "Mein khud Vanraajya ke ek vansh se hoon. Humare... humare rishte pehle ache the Jalyak ke saath."

Karan ko yeh sab sun ke dimag ghum ho rha tha par woh chup rha. Use pata tha ke Akansha aisa kuch jaanti thi jo woh nhi jaanta tha.

Siphai kuch der chup rha jaise woh soch rha ho. Fir usne Akansha ko fir se dekha uske blue skin par ghoorte hue.

"Agar tum Vanraajya se ho," Soldier ne dheere se kaha, "Toh tumhe hamare Jalnayak se milna chahiye. Shayad woh tumhari baat sun le."

Akansha ke chere par halki chitna kam hue "Kya tum hume apne Jalnayak ke paas le ja sakte ho?"

Siphai ne kuch seconds tak socha. Uske japda kasa hua tha. Par fir usne dhire se sir hilaya. "Haan... par agar tumne koi chalbaazi ki toh-"

"Koi chaalbaazi nhi hai," Akansha ne turant kaha, "Hume bas tumhare Jalnayak se baat karni hai."

Karan ne ant mein aakhirkaar Meher ko neeche kar liya aur soldier se thoda door khada ho gaya. Par woh taiyar tha agar siphai ne fir se kuch karne ki koshish ki toh.

Siphai aage badhne laga. Karan aur Akansha uske peeche chalne lage.

Woh teeno andhere jungle ke beech chalne lage. Charon taraf sirf chand ki roshni thi aur dur se kuch ajeeb si awaze aa rhe thein shayad aur siphai ke ya fir kuch jaanwaron ke.

"Masster," Meher ke awaaz Karan ke dimaag mein aayi, "Mujhe yeh theek nhi lag rha. Kya hume iss siphai pe vishwas karna chahiye?"

"Hamare paas chara nhi hai Meher. Aur... Akansha Mausi ko lagta hai woh jaanti hai kuch. Hume unpe vishwas karna hoga."

"Hmph," Kairav ka awaaz bhi aa gye, "Agar yeh dhoka hua na toh mein sabse pehle iss siphai ka-"

"Shaant rho tum dono," Karan ne dono ko chup rhene ko kaha.

Siphai ne ek baar peeche mudke dekha, "Zyada dur nhi hai. Bas thodi der aur."



***

Kuch der baad woh teeno ek purane basaav ke paas pahunch gaye jo jungle ke ghane bel paton ke beech chupa hua tha. Purane makdiyon ke ghar jo lambe samay se yahan khade the unke deewaron par kayi saari latayen chad gayi thein.

Kairav ka awaaz Karan ke dimaag mein goonj rhi thi, "Yeh jagah theek nhi lag rhi."

Karan ko bhi shanka ho rhe the. Usne Akansha ki taraf dekha jo ab uske bilkul paas chal rhe thein. "Mausi... kya yeh sahi hai?"

Akansha ne uske aankhon mein dekha aur dheere se sir hilaya. "Haan Karan... hume unpe bharosa karna hoga. Yeh hamare purane saathi hai."

Sipahi unhe ek gufa ke taraf le gaya jo basaav ke beech mein thi. Gufa ke bahar kuch aur makdi sipahi khade the unke haathon mein bhaale the.


Sipahi bahar khade dono sipahiyon ke paas gaya. "Yeh dono Jalnayak se milna chahte hai."



Ek sipahi aage aaya. "Kya? Tu inn ghuspethiyon ko yahan lekar aaye ho?!? Inhe yahi khatam kar dena chahiye tha!"

"Nahi," Pehle sipahi ne sakht awaaz mein kaha, "Jalnayak ke sakht aadesh hai ke sirf pakadna hai unhe. Maarna nahi."

Dusra sipahi kuch der gusse se dekhta raha fir sir hilaya. "Theek hai. Par agar inhone koi chaal chali toh tumhari jimmedari hogi."

"Mujhe pata hai," Pehle sipahi ne jawab diya.

Baaki sipahiyon ne aapas mein kuch baatein ki aur fir ek unme se bhag ke andar gaya.

Karan aur Akansha gufa ke andar baithe intezaar karne lage. Karan ke haath Meher par majboot the aur woh har pal taiyaar tha agar kuch galat hua toh.

Kuch samay baad kadam ke awaze aayi. Karan ne bahar ki taraf dekha.

Gufa ke andar ek budha makdi aaha manav aaya. Uske aath pair dheere dheere chal rhe the umar ke bojh se. Uske sharir par safed baal the jo kabhi shayad kaale rahe honge. Uske chehre par lambi daadi thi jo neeche tak aa rhe the. Par uske aankhe... woh abhi bhi tez thein jaise kisi baaz ke. Uske ek haath mein ek lathi thi jisse woh sahara le rha tha.

Woh Karan aur Akansha ke paas aaya aur unhe gaur se dekhne laga.

Akansha khadi hui aur sir jhukayi. "Hum dono Vanraajya se hai."

Budhe ne sir hilaya aur dono ko apne saath aane ka ishara kiya.

Woh teeno ek bade kaksh mein pahunche. Kaksh purani thi par saaf thi. Charon taraf mashaalein jal rhe thein jo roshni de rhe thein. Beech mein kuch bade pathar ke shile rakhe the jo kursiyon ka kaam kar skte the.



"Baith jao," Budhe ne kaha, khud ek pathar par baith ke.

Karan aur Akansha bhi baith gye, Karan ab bhi satark tha.

Budhe ne ek aurat sewak ko ishara kiya aur kuch isharon mein kuch kaha. Aurat ne sir jhukaya aur bahar chali gayi.

Budha Karan aur Akansha ki taraf ghuma. "Toh tum dono Vanraajya se ho?"

Uske awaaz mein shanka saaf thi. Usne Akansha ke neele chamdi ko dekha fir uske chehre ko.

Akansha "J-jee."

Kuch der baad woh aurat sewak wapas aayi. Uske haath mein teen kaanch ke pyale the. Usne ek pyala budhe ko diya aur baaki do Karan aur Akansha ke saamne rakh diye.

Budhe ne apna pyala uthaya aur usme se kuch piya. Fir usne Karan aur Akansha ki taraf dekha.

"Yeh kya hai?" Karan ne pucha pyale ko dekhte hue.

Budhe ke chehre par ek muskan aayi jo dosti bhari nhi thi "Yeh ek saadha peya hai... agar tum dono sach mein Kaalandard ke praani nhi ho... toh yeh zeher hai. Khaas tarah ka zeher jo sirf kuch khaas Jalyak ke hisson mein paaya jaata hai. Yeh tumpar kaam karega. Par agar nhi karega... toh tum dono ko maar diya jayega."

Karan ke aankhe gusse se laal ho gayi. "Agar kaam karega toh hum bhi mar jayenge!"

Budha hasa uske hasi se pure kaksh mein goonj padi. "Chinta mat karo... mere paas ilaaj hai. Par mein tumhe bachaunga sirf tab... jab tum sabit kar do ke mein tumpar bharosa kar sakta hoon."

Karan gusse mein khada ho gaya. "Mein yeh bevkoofi nhi karne wala!"

Turant hi dus gyarah sipahi andar aaye aur Karan ko pakad liya. Unhone uske dono haath peeche bandh diye.

"Choro mujhe!" Karan chillaya, tapakta hua.

Budha ne apna sar hilaya. "Isliye mein jawan mardo se nafrat karta hoon. Hamesha hungama machate hai."

Usne Akansha ki taraf dekha. "Toh tum kya karogi? Chalo insaaf se baat karte hai... agar tum dono mein se ek bhi apni bebaki sabit kar sake... toh mein bharosa kar lunga."

Akansha ne pyale ko dekha. Uske haath kaanp rhe the. Uske wajah se hi Karan iss musibat mein fasa tha. Ab usko hi uske bachana hoga kisi bhi keemat par.

"Mausi nahi!" Karan chillaya, "Yeh mat piyo!"

Par Akansha ne pyala uthaya. Usne Karan ki taraf dekha aur muskurayi... ek dukhi muskurahat.

"Mein tumhe surakshit rakhungi...Karan," Akansha ne dheeme se kaha.

Aur pyale ko apne hothon se lagayi.

"NAHI!!!" Karan ki chillane ki awaaz pure kaksh mein goonji.

Akansha ne sara peya pi liya. Kuch pal tak kuch nhi hua. Fir achanak unke aankhe bade ho gye. Unka sharir kaampne laga.

"Mausi!" Karan ne jhatke maare par sipahiyon ne use pakde rakha.

Akansha zameen par gir gayi. Unka pura sharir akad gaya aur woh behosh ho gayi.

Karan ke aankhe dekhte dekhte badalne lagi. Laal se... safed. Pure safed. Jaise andar koi aur aa gaya ho.

"TUMNE KYA KIYA!!!" Awaaz Karan ki thi par taakat usse bahut zyada.

Sipahiyon ne Karan ko pakde rakha par achanak unhe laga jaise woh aag pakad rahe hai. Unke haath jalne lage.

"Aaahh!" Sipahi chillaye aur Karan ko chodhne lage.

Kairav ne pura niyantran le liya tha. Karan ka sharir hawa mein utha aur dark sword khud hi uske haath mein aa gayi. Talwar se laal roshni nikal rhe the jo pure kaksh ko andhera mein dhal rhe the.

"TUM SABKA ANTH AAYA HAI AAJ!" Karan ke awaaz mein sirf gussa tha.

Pehla sipahi aage badha apni talwar utha ke. Karan ne sirf haath hilaya aur woh sipahi deewar se ja takraya behosh hoke gir gaya.

Teen aur sipahi ek saath aaye. Karan ne Kairav ko ghumaya ek baar, bus ek baar. Aur teeno sipahiyon ke talwarein toot ke zameen par gir gayi. Ek aur baar aur teeno sipahi hawa mein ud ke peeche gir gaye.

"Massster! Apne gusse par kabu rakho!" Meher ki awaaz uske dimaag mein aayi par Kairav ka nikayantran Karan ke dimag mein abhi bhari tha.

Budhe ne yeh sab dekha aur uske aankhe badi ho gayi. Dark sword... woh talwar... woh rang...

Achanak budhe ne apne ghutne tek diye. Uska sir zameen ko chhoo gaya.

"Maaf kar dijiye swami!" Budha chillaya, "Mein apne sachhe malik ko nhi pahchaan paya jab woh mere saamne the!"

Karan ne Kairav ko upar uthaya

"Masster... Akansha Mausi!" Meher ki awaaz fir aayi, "Unhe bachana hai! Apne gusse par kabu rakho!"

Yeh sunke Karan ruka. Usne neeche Akansha ko dekha jo behosh padi thi.

Dheere dheere safed aankhe kam hone lagi. Laal rang wapas aane laga. Kairav ka niyantran dhela padne laga.

Karan wapas aaya. Uske saans tez tez chal rhe the. Woh zameen par gir gaya ghutne tek ke.

"Ilaaj... abhi," Karan ne sakht awaaz mein kaha, neeche Akansha ko dekh ke.

Budha turant khada hua. "Sewikon! Jaldi ilaaj lekar aao!"

Do aurat sewika bhaag ke aayi unke haath mein ek doosra pyala tha. Unhone Akansha ke muh mein woh peya ubhala.

"Yeh unhe theek kar dega," Budha ne kaha, "Yeh zeher sirf mann ko nuksan pahunchata hai, sharir ko nahi. Woh adhi raat tak theek hokar uth jayengi."

Usne sewikon ko aadesh diya, "Inhe sabse achhe kamre mein le jao aur dhyan rakho."

Chaar sewika aaye aur Akansha ko uthake le gayi.

Karan ne upar dekha, uske aankhen abhi bhi gusse se bhari thi. "Samjhao abhi kya bol rhe the tum."

Budhe ne gehri saans li. "Woh talwar... woh humare sachhe Kalraaj ki talwar hai. Jo bhi use pakadta hai... woh humara sachha malik hai."

"Tumhe altar se mili hogi?" Budhe ne pucha.

Karan ne sir hilaya.

Budhe ke chehre par hairani aur prashansa dikh gaye. "Tumne asamaanbhav kar dikhaya. Hum sau saalon se uss talwar ko paane ki koshish kar rhe the. Aur tumne yeh kar dikhaya hai."

Usne aage jhuk ke kaha, "Ab humari sena tumhari hai. Jo tum kahoge hum karenge."

Budha uthkar khada hua aur zor se bola, "Kalraaj ki jai!"

"Kalraaj ki jai!" Saare sipahi ek saath chillaye aur Karan ke saamne jhuk gye.

Karan iss sab ko dekh ke pareshan tha. Yeh kya ho rha tha? Kalraaj? Sachha malik? Kuch bhi samajh nhi aa rha tha.

Usne Kairav ko toh paa liya tha par abhi uspe usko puri tarah niyantran paane mein samay lagne wala tha. Par abhi uske mann mein sirf ek baat thi Akansha theek ho jayein. Baaki sab baad mein.

***

Dusre kshetra mein Jalyak ke Mesaka courtyard mein pahunchi. Uske gulabi aankhe charon taraf ke tabahi ko dekh rhe thein. Zameen par lahu faila hua tha tute hue sharir ke tukde bikre pade the. Uske apne sipahiyon ke sharir... aur dushman ke bhi.

Asim jo ek deewar ke paas khada tha, Mesaka ko dekh ke jhuka. Uske chehre par ghav the uske bhaale toot chuka tha. Woh Mesaka ka itne salon se sabse vafadaar chela tha.

"Maharani..." Asim ki awaaz kamzor thi, "Woh... woh bahut taqatwar hain. Unmein se kuch ko hamare teeron se bhi koi fark nhi pad rha."

Mesaka aage badhi uske aath pair zameen par awaaz karte hue chalne lage. Woh ek mutant ke tute hue sharir ke paas ruki. Kaala kavach hare rang ka teezab abhi bhi uske muh se tapak rha tha.

"Toh unhone naye hathiyar bana liye," Mesaka ne dheere se kaha par uske awaaz mein koi dar nhi tha. Ulta... uske honthon par ek kroor muskurahat aa gayi. "Kitne saalon baad mujhe aise dushman mile jo... thodi mehnat maangte hai."

Aage courtyard mein kayi saare sipahi lad rhe the. Mesaka ke bache hue yoddha apne kavach uthaye saamne wale mutant jalyakon se takra rhe the. Par har baar jab woh aage badhte acid unke kavach ko pighlata aur woh peeche hatne par majboor ho jaate.

Ek mutant ne ek sipahi ko pakda aur uske upar apna muh khola. Hara teezab seedhe sipahi ke chehre par gira.

"AAAHHHH!!!" Sipahi ki chillane ki awaaz Mesaka ke kaano mein padi.

Mesaka ke aankhe sankri ho gayi.

"Asim," Mesaka ne peeche bina dekhe kaha, "Sabko peeche bulao. Ab."

"Par Maharani-"

"ABHI!" Mesaka ki awaaz mein aisa zor tha ke Asim turant bhaag ke gaya aur baaki sipahiyon ko peeche bulane laga.

Mesaka aage badhi courtyard ke beech mein. Uske charon taraf mutant jalyak the. Pandrah... nahi bees. Aur har ek usse dekh rha tha unke kaale aankhen uske har harkat par tiki hui.

Ek mutant aage badha apna muh khol ke. Teezab bahar nikalne laga.

Mesaka ne apne dono haath aage kiye aur aankhe band kar li.

Achanak uske sharir se safed rang ke dhaage nikalne lage. Pehle kuch... fir sau... fir hazaaron. Dhaage hawa mein tair ke charon taraf failne lage jaise koi jivi vastu ho.


Dhaage itni tezi se faile ke mutant samajh bhi nahi paaye. Pure courtyard ko har kone ko har jagah ko dhagon ne dhaak liya. Ek jaadui jaal ban gaya tha jo zameen se lekar asmaan tak faila hua tha.

Mutant jinhone hamla karne ki koshish ki, woh jaal mein fas gaye. Jitna woh tapakte utna jaal majboot hota.

Mesaka ne apni gulabi aankhe kholi. Ab woh muskura rhe thein.

"Tumhe lagta hai mein itne aasani se mar jaungi?" Mesaka ne kaha, "Mein yahan ki RANI hoon!"

Usne ek haath hilaya aur jaal sakht ho gaya. Mutant jo fas chuke the, unka sharir dabne laga. Haddiyan tootne ki awaaz aa rhe thein.

Par baaki mutant samajhdar the. Unhone jaal se bachne ke liye neeche zameen mein ghusne ki koshish ki. Unke pairo ne zameen ko khodna shuru kiya.

Mesaka ne yeh dekha aur zor se hasi. "Sochte ho bhaag jaoge?"

Usne dono haath aur aage kiye. Iss baar uske dhagon ka rang badalne laga. Safed se... sunahera.

Sunahera dhaage un mutants tak pahunche jo zameen mein ghus rhe the. Jaise hi dhaage unhe chhue mutants ka sharir ruk gaya. Bilkul ruk gaya.

Pehle mutant ne apna sir upar kiya. Par ab uske aankhen... woh gulabi ho chuki thein. Mesaka jaise.

"Uth jao," Mesaka ne hukum diya.

Mutant khada ho gaya.

"Apne saathiyon par hamla karo."

Bina kuch socha mutant apne hi bhaaiyon ki taraf mud gaya aur hamla karne laga. Uske muh se teezab nikla par iss baar apne saathiyon par. Jo bhi un sunhere dhagon ke chapet mein aata uspe Mesaka ka kabu ho jata tha.

Mesaka ne ek ek karke saat mutants ko apne control mein le liya. Aur ab woh saare apas mein hi lad rhe the.

Peeche khade sipahi yeh sab dekh ke dang reh gye. Asim ke muh khula ka khula reh gaya.

"Yahi hai Maharani ki takat," Ek purana sipahi ne kaha, "Isliye woh Jalyak ke rani hai."

Par achanak... ek awaaz aayi. Gehri darwani awaaz.

"Lagta hai tumne apni poori takat dikha di, Rani Mesaka."

Charon taraf ke mutant peeche hate aur beech se ek naya makdi aaya. Yeh makdi baaki mutants se bilkul alag tha. Uska aakaar zyada bada tha, uske sharir par kaala kavach nhi balki hare rang ke nishaan the jo chamak rhe the. Uske aath pair bahut tez aur ghane the, aur uske aankhen...jisme koi daya nhi dikh rhe the.

"Kaun ho tum?" Mesaka ne pucha par uske awaaz mein thoda shanka aa gayi thi.

"Mera naam hai Drayvek," Makdi ne kaha, "Aur mein yahan tumhara ant karne aaya hoon."

Asim aage badhna chata tha par Mesaka ne haath uthakar use roka.

Drayvek ne apne ek pair ko zameen par mara. Achanak uske sharir se bhi dhaage nikalne lage. Par yeh dhaage Mesaka ke dhagon se bilkul alag the. Yeh gehre kaale rang ke the aur inmein se ek ajeeb si chamak aa rhe the.

"Tumhe lagta hai sirf tumhare paas jaal hai?" Drayvek ne kaha aur hasa.

Usne apne dhaage Mesaka ke jaal ki taraf phenke. Jaise hi dono jaal takraye, Mesaka ke safed dhaage katne lage. Kat ke neeche gir rhe the.

Mesaka ke aankhe badi ho gayi. "Yeh... yeh kaise ho skta hai?"

"Mere dhaage tut nhi skte," Drayvek ne kaha, aage badhte hue, "Yeh sabse mazboot vastu se bane hai. Tumhare jaal meri shakti ke saamne kuch bhi nhi hai."

Drayvek ne aur dhaage phenke jo seedhe Mesaka ki taraf aaye. Mesaka ne apne dhaagon se rokne ki koshish ki par woh kat gaye.

"Maharani!" Asim chillaya aur bhaag ke beech mein aa gaya.

Usne apne dhaage nikale aur Drayvek ke dhagon ko rokne ki koshish ki. Asim ke dhaage bhi mazboot the, bahut mazboot. Kuch pal tak dono ke dhaage takrate rahe.

"Hmm tum bhi acha ladte ho," Drayvek ne kaha, "Par kaafi nahi."

Drayvek ne ek aur pair hilaya aur uske muh se kuch bahar aaya. Gehre hare rang ka dhuan. Zeher.

"Nahi!" Mesaka chillaye.

Par bahut der ho chuki thi. Dravyek Asim tak pahunch gaya. Varak ne saans lene ki koshish ki par zeher uske andar ghus gaya.

"Maha...rani..." Asim ke muh se khoon niklne laga. Uske pair kaampne lage.

Drayvek ne ek aakhri waar kiya. Uske kaale dhaage Varak ke sharir ko cheerte hue andar ghus gaye aur fir... bahar se usko sarir ko phaad diye.

Asim ka sharir zameen par gira. Uski aankhen khuli ki khuli reh gayi.

"Asimmmm!!!" Mesaka ke chillane ki awaaz pure mahal mein goonji.

Mesaka ke aankhen laal ho gayi gusse se. Usne apne aath pair se zameen mein zor se maara. Pure courtyard mein dararein pad gayi.

"Tumne mera sabse wafadar sipahi maar diya," Mesaka ne kaha uske awaaz mein ab sirf gussa tha, "Ab tumhe marne mein mujhe bahut maza aayega."

Usne apne sunahera dhaage nikale aur Drayvek ki taraf phenke. Par Drayvek taiyaar tha. Usne apne kaale dhaage phenke jo sunahera dhagon se takraye.

Dono yoddha ab aapas mein lad rhe the. Mesaka ke dhaage aur Drayvek ke dhaage hawa mein takra rhe the, awaaz nikal rhe thein jaise talwarein takra rhe ho.

Mesaka uske sunahera dhaage Drayvek tak pahunchne ki koshish kar rhe the taaki use control kar sake. Par Drayvek ke kaale dhaage beech mein aake rok rhe the.

"Sochti ho mujhe par niyantran kar logi?" Drayvek ne kaha, "Mein bahut lambe samay se tayaari kar rha tha tumse ladne ki. Tumhari har chaal mujhe pata hai."

Drayvek ne apne sare dhaage ek saath phenke. Itne saare dhaage ke Mesaka bach nhi paayi. Kuch dhaage uske pair mein lapate kuch uske haathon mein.

Mesaka giri par usne haar nhi maani. Usne apne bache hue dhaage Drayvek par phenke par Drayvek ne unhe aaram se tod diye.

Drayvek Mesaka ke paas aaya. Usne apna ek tez pair upar uthaya.

"Ab tumhare ant ka samay aa gaya hai Rani Mesaka,"

Usne apna pair neeche mara jo seedhe Mesaka ki chaati mein ghusa.

"Aahhh!" Mesaka ki awaaz nikli. Uske muh se khoon nikalne laga.

Peeche se sipahi dekhte rahe, sab ke chehre par darr tha. Unki Rani har rhe thein.

Par achanak... Mesaka ke honthon par ek muskurahat aayi. Khoon ke beech bhi woh muskura rhe thein.

"Kya... sochte ho... itne aasani se... maar diya mujhe?" Mesaka ne kaha.

Drayvek ko kuch samajh nhi aaya.

Mesaka ke sharir mein dararein aane lagi. Safed rang ki roshni un dararon se nikal rhe the.

Mesaka ne kuch fusfusaya.

"Yeh kya?!? " Drayvek peeche hatne laga.

Par Mesaka ke sharir se ek ajeeb si roshni nikli jo seedhe peeche khadi Viyali tak pahunchi. Viyali jo yeh sab dekh rhe thein achanak uska sharir kaampne laga.

"Nahi... Maharani....." Viyali ki awaaz nikli par woh khud ko rok nhi paayi.

Mesaka ka purana sharir khali khol ki tarah zameen par gira. Aur Viyali ka sharir chamakne laga.

Viyali ke neele rang ka sharir badalne laga. Unke aankhe gulabi hone lagi. Unka aakaar badne laga. Aur sab se ajeeb... unke peeche se char aur pair nikle.

Kuch pal mein Viyali ki jagah ek nayi Mesaka khadi thi. Yeh Mesaka pehle se aur bhi zyada taqatwar lag rhe thein. Uske ab gyarah pair the, uska sharir pehle se bada tha aur uske gulabi aankhen ab sone ki chamak ke saath chamak rhe thein.



"Yeh... yeh kaise..." Drayvek peeche hata pehli baar uske awaaz mein darr tha.

Nayi Mesaka ne apna sir upar kiya aur zor se hasi. Uski hasi se pure mahal ki deewaren kaanp uthi.

"Tumne socha tha ke maar diya mujhe?" Nayi Mesaka ne kaha, "Mein itni aasani se nhi marti. Jalayak ke Maharani hamesha naya roop lene ke lie ek sevak taiyar rkhte hai!!! Aur ab... ab tumhe dikhati hoon asli shakti."

Mesaka ne apne gyarah pair zameen par ek saath mare. Awaaz itni tez thi ke Drayvek bhi apne ghutne tek ke gir gaya.

Fir Mesaka ne apne naye dhaage nikale. Par yeh dhaage pehle ke dhagon se bilkul alag the. Yeh laal the aur inmein se ek tez roshni nikal rhe the.

Laal dhaage itni tezi se nikle ke Drayvek samajh nhi paaya. Unhone Drayvek ke kaale dhagon ko cheerte hue ek taraf phenk diya. Kaale dhaage jo tod nhi skte the... woh ab toot gaye the.

"Nahi! Yeh asamaanbhav hai!" Drayvek chillaya.

Mesaka ke laal dhaage Drayvek ke charon pair mein lapate. Jitna Drayvek chutne ki koshish karta utna dhaage tight hote.

"Mere naye roop mein," Mesaka ne kaha aage badhte hue, "Meri takat dus guna badh jaati hai. Isliye Viyali ko meine itna bada kiya tha. Lekin Tumhari murkhta ke wajah se mein aur takatvar banane se reh gyi. Par fir bhi ab tumhare jaal mere aage kuch bhi ab kuch nhi hai."

Mesaka ne aur laal dhaage nikale jo Drayvek ke muh ke aas paas lapate. Ab Drayvek apna zeher bhi nhi nikaal sakta tha.

"Tumne mera sabse wafadar sipahi maara," Mesaka ne kaha, Drayvek ke bilkul paas aa ke "Tumne mujhe takleef di. Aur ab... ab tum meri mehmaandaari dekhoge."

Mesaka ne apne sunahera dhaage bhi nikale. Yeh dhaage Drayvek ke sharir mein ghusne lage.

Drayvek ki aankhe badalne lagi. Nili se... gulabi.

"Nahi... nahi... mujhe...!!!!" Drayvek bade mushkil se bola.

Par Mesaka ne suna nhi. Uske sunahere dhaage ab Drayvek ke pure sharir ko dhaak chuke the.

Kuch pal baad Drayvek ki aankhe puri tarah gulabi ho gayi. Uska sharir shaant ho gaya.

"Ab uth jao," Mesaka ne hukum diya.

Drayvek khada ho gaya jaise koi kathputli ho.

"Apne bhaaiyon ko maaro aur isko samapt karo ab."

Drayvek bina kuch socha palat gaya aur apne hi mutant bhaaiyon par hamla karne laga. Uske kaale dhaage jo tut nhi skte the ab apne hi logo ko maar rhe the.

Baaki mutant yeh dekh ke darr gaye. Unka sabse taqatwar yoddha ab dushman ka gulam ban gaya tha.

"Bhaago!" Ek mutant chillaya.

Saare mutant bhaagne lage deewar mein ched ke taraf. Par Mesaka ne unhe aasani se jaane nhi diya. Usne apne laal dhaage phenke jo kayi mutants ko pakad ke wahi maar diye.

Kuch mutant bhagne mein safal ho gaye. Par jitne yaahan the sab ke sab maar diye gaye.

Jab sab khatam ho gaya, Mesaka wahan khadi rhe Drayvek uske paas khada tha gulabi aankhen liye, Mesaka ka control mein.

Peeche se saare sipahi ek awaaz mein chillaye, "Maharani Mesaka ki jai! Jai! Jai!"

Mesaka ne Asim ke sharir ki taraf dekha jo zameen par pada tha. Uske gulabi aankhen thodi dukhi ho gayi.

"Tumhari qurbani yaad rakhi jayegi Asim," Mesaka ne dheere se kaha.

Fir usne Drayvek ki taraf dekha. "Tumhe mein pinjre mein rakhungi. Jab jarurat hogi tab tum mere liye ladoge. Yahi hai tumhari saza."

Drayvek ne gulabi aankhen liye bas sir hilaya. Woh ab sirf ek kathputli tha ab.

Mesaka ne courtyard ki taraf dekha jahan tabahi machhi hui thi. Usne gehri saans li.

"Yeh jung ab aur lambi chalegi," Mesaka ne apne sipahiyon se kaha, "Par hum jeetenge. Kyuki mein Jalraaj ki Rani hoon. Aur koi bhi mujhe yahan se nhi hata skta. Koi bhi nhi haha haaha!!!"



****


Karan kursi par baitha hua tha Akansha ke palang ke bilkul bagal mein. Raat guzar chuki thi par uski aankhen abhi bhi khuli thi. Woh baar baar Akansha ko dekh rha tha unke chere par ek santusti thi. Jane kis baat ko lekar?



"Mausi theek ho jayengi na?" Karan ne khud se pucha.

Meher aur Kairav dono chup the. Dono ko pata tha ke Karan bahut pareshaan hai.

Raat dheere dheere guzarti gayi. Mashaalein jal rhe thein jo kamre mein halki roshni de rhe thein. Karan ka sir dheere dheere neeche jhukne laga. Uski aankhen band hone lagi.

"Bas... thodi der... aur..." Karan ne khud se kaha par woh itna thak gaya tha ke uski aankhen band ho gayi.

Uska sir kursi ke peeche ki taraf jhuk gaya aur woh gehri neend mein so gaya.

***

Subah ki pehli kiran kamre mein aayi. Karan ki aankhen dheere se khuli. Usne ek baar apna gala saaf kiya aur apne gardaan ko ghumaya jo akad gayi thi.

"Uff... kitni buri tarah se need lag gye," Karan ne khud se kaha.

Fir achanak use yaad aaya Akansha!!!!

Usne jhatke se palang ki taraf dekha par... Akansha wahan nhi thi. Palang khali thi chadar ek taraf hati hui thi.

"Mausi?" Karan khada ho gaya kamre mein charon taraf dekhte hue. "Mausi kahan hai?"

Par kamra khali tha.

Karan ke dil ki dhakan tez ho gayi. Woh bhaag ke bahar aaya. Corridor mein do aurat sewika jhaadu laga rhe thein.

"Tumne... tumne ek aurat ko dekha yahan se?" Karan ne jaldi se pucha, "Neele rang ki... woh... woh mere saath thi?"

Dono sewikon ne ek dusre ko dekha aur fir muskurayi.

"Haan, woh toh jag gayin bahut der pehle," Ek sewika ne kaha, "Hum unhe sab kuch samjha diye. Woh ab shaant hai."

"Kahan hai woh?" Karan ne pucha.

Dusri sewika ne kamre ki taraf ishara kiya. "Shayad woh nahane gaye hai andar."

Karan ne rahat ki saans li. "Theek hai... shukriya."

Woh wapas kamre ke andar aaya. Ek taraf ek darwaza tha jo band tha. Wahan se pani ki halki awaaz aa rhe thein.

Karan ne darwaze ke paas ja ke dheere se dastak di.

"Kaun hai?" Andar se Akansha ki awaaz aayi.

"Mausi? Mein hoon... Karan," Karan ne jawab diya.

Kuch pal ki khamoshi rahi. Fir Akansha ne kaha, "Andar aa jao."

Karan chaunk gaya. "K-kya? Par aap-"

"aa jao Karan,"

Karan ne darwaza dheere se khola aur andar jhanka. Kamra chhota tha par achha bana hua tha. Beech mein ek bada pathar ka hauz tha jisme pani bhara hua tha. Aur Akansha... woh hauz ke kinare baithi thi pani se bahar. Unke baal geele the aur pani ki boonde unke neele chamdi par chamak rhe thein.




"M-mausi... mujhe laga ke... matlab aap theek hai na?" Karan ne hadbadate hue pucha, darwaze ke paas hi khada rahte hue.

Akansha ne halke se hasi. "Haan Karan... ab bilkul theek hoon. Subah jab uthi toh sewikon ne sab bataya. Ke kaise tumne mujhe bachaya."

"N-nahi... woh toh..." Karan abhi bhi neeche dekh rha tha.

"Karan," Akansha ne uska naam liya, "Idhar dekho mujhe."

Karan ne dheere se upar dekha. Akansha uske taraf muskura rhe thein, par yeh muskurahat... kuch alag thi. Kuch ajeeb se.

"Tum bahut....bahut bahaddur ho Karan," Akansha ne kaha, "Itne khatare mein bhi tumne meri chinta ki."

"Aap... aap meri Mausi hai," Karan ne kaha, "Mein aapko kaise-"

"Mausi," Akansha ne yeh shabd dohraaya, thoda ajeeb tarike se. "Haan... mein tumhari Mausi hoon. Par kabhi kabhi... mujhe lagta hai ke tum mujhe Mausi se zyada kuch samajhte ho."

Karan ke aankhe badi ho gayi. "M-matlab? Mera matlab... mujhe samajh nhi aaya."

Akansha khadi hui pani hauz se kinare par. Saree kapda unke sharir par chipka hue the geele hone ki wajah se. Woh dheere dheere Karan ki taraf badhi.

Karan ke pair jaise jameen mein jad gaye the. Woh hil nhi pa rha tha unhe sundarata dekhar.

Akansha ab bilkul paas aa chuki thein. Unke geele baal unke kandhe par the aur pani ki boonde ab bhi unke chehre se girte ja rhe thein.

"Tum jaante ho Karan," Akansha ne dheere se kaha unki awaaz mein ek alag si sur thi, "Jab tumne mujhe bachane ke liye woh khatra liya... jab tumne meri taraf uss tarike se dekha jab mein zameen par padi thi... mujhe laga ke shayad... shayad tum mujhe kuch aur samajhte ho."

"Mausi aap... aap theek toh hai na?" Karan ne pucha, peeche hatne ki koshish karte hue par uski peeth darwaze se lag gayi.

Akansha ne apna haath aage badha kar Karan ke gaal par rakha. Unka haath thanda aur geela tha. "Bilkul theek hoon Karan. Pehli baar bahut lambe samay baad... bilkul aise mehsoos kar rhe ho jaise Ravisha ke baad mujhe apna koi saathi Mila hai."

Karan ke saans tez ho gayi. "M-mausi... shayad aapko aur aaram karna chahiye. Woh zeher... shayad abhi bhi-"

"Zeher?" Akansha hasi, "Zeher toh nikal gaya Karan. Jo ab andar hai... woh kuch aur hai."

Unke gulabi aankhe Karan ki aankhen mein dekh rhe thein. Bahut gaur se.

"Tum itne jawan ho," Akansha ne kaha, "Aur itne mazboot bhi. Jab tumne woh talwarein chalai... jab tumhari aankhe safed ho gayi thi... mujhe bahut darr laga. Par saath saath... kuch aur bhi mehsoos hua."

"M-mausi yeh sab..." Karan ka gala sukh gaya tha.

Akansha ne apna dusra haath bhi Karan ke dusre gaal par rakha. Ab woh Karan ka chehra dono haathon mein pakde hue thein.

"Karan," Akansha ne fusfusaya, "Kabhi kabhi... kuch rishte naam se zyada gehre hote hai. Samajh rahe ho?"

"Haaaa," Karan ne sach mein kaha, "Mujhe kuch samajh nhi aa rha."

Akansha ke honthon par ek muskurahat aayi. Woh Karan ke bahut paas aa gayi, itna paas ke Karan unki saans mehsoos kar sakta tha.

Karan ne unki taraf dekha. Unki gulabi aankhen ab bilkul paas thi, aur unki saans ki garmaahat uske chehre par mehsoos ho rahi thi. “Koi baat nahi mausi... par aap sach mein theek ho na?”

Akanksha ne muskuraya, aur is baar muskaan mein woh sur tha jo pehle tha. Woh dheere se Karan ke paas sarki, aur unka haath uske kandhe par chala gaya. “Haan Karan. Bilkul theek. Aur tum... tum mere liye itna kar rahe ho. Mujhe... mujhe bhi tumhare liye kuch karna hai...mmmmm.”

Karan ka dil fir se tez hua par is baar darr ke saath kuch aur bhi tha. Woh jaanta tha ke unka rishta ab pehle jaisa nahi raha. Pehle bhi... pehle bhi kai baar aisa hua tha raat ke andhere mein jab koi nahi dekh raha hota. Yeh unka raaz tha ek aisa rishta jo mausi-beta se bahut aage badh chuka tha.

Akanksha ne apna chehra Karan ke chehre ke paas laaya aur dheere se uske honthon par apne honth rakh diye aur dono saath mein neeche baith gye.



Karan ki aankhen band ho gayi aur woh chumban mein kho gaya. Unka chumban dheere dheere gehra hota gaya Akanksha ki jeebh uske muh mein ghus gayi, aur woh dono ek doosre ko choomte hue saans le rahe the.

“Mmm... Karan...” Akanksha ne karahte hue kaha chumban todte hue. Unka haath ab Karan ke seene par tha uski shirt ke andar haath daalte hue.

Karan ne bhi apne haath Akanksha ki kamar par rakhe unki saadi ke oopar se unki kamar ko sehlaate hue. “mausi... Aap bahut sundar ho- Par abhi halat mein yeh shi hai?!?”

Akanksha ne haskar kaha, “Karan hum dono jaante hain yeh sahi hai. Ab chup... aur mujhe mehsoos karo.”

Woh fir se chumban karne lagi is baar aur zor se. Karan ke haath ab unki peeth par the saadi ko dheela karte hue. Hauz ke paas baithkar, paani ki halki chhapak unke kaanon mein gunj rahi thi.

Kuch der baad Akanksha ne chumban toda aur saans lete hue kaha, “Karan... aao na, saath mein nahaate hain. Yeh paani itna garam hai... aur tumhare saath... mujhe aur garam mehsoos ho raha hai.”

Karan ne sir hilaaya uska chehra laal ho gaya tha. Woh khada hua, aur Akanksha ko haath pakadkar khada kiya. Dono hauz ke andar utar gaye Akanksha abhi bhi saadi mein thi. Paani unke ghutnon tak tha, aur saadi geeli hokar unke sharir se chipak gayi.

“Aah... yeh paani... kitna achha lag raha hai,” Akanksha ne karaaha, apne haathon se paani uthakar Karan ke chehre par daala.

Karan hasa aur usne bhi paani uthaya. Dono has-has kar paani mein khelne lage, par jaldi hi yeh khel chumban mein badal gaya. Karan uske honthon ko choomne laga. Uska haath ab saadi ke andar tha unki jaanghon ko sehlaate hue.

“Mmm... Karan... aur zor se,” Akanksha ne fusfusaya apne haath se Karan ki kurta utaarte hue.

Karan ne apni shirt utaar di, aur ab woh sirf pant mein tha.



Akanksha ke haath uske seene par the. Dono paani mein chumban karte hue.

Fir Akanksha ne kaha, “Bahar chalo Karan... mujhe tumhe dekhna hai.”

Dono hauz se bahar aaye, paani ki boondein unke shariron se gir rahi thi. Akanksha ne Karan ko wahan baithaya, aur khud uske saamne khadi ho gayi.

Karan ne dheere se Akanksha ki saadi ka pallu pakda aur dheela kiya. Saadi dheere dheere khulti gayi aur jaise hi woh giri, Akanksha sirf ab underwear mein the. Uska sharir chamak raha tha geela aur mulayam.

“Mausi... tum kitni sundar ho,” Karan ne kaha, apne haath se unki kamar pakadte hue.

Akanksha muskurayi, aur dheere se ghutnon ke bal baith gayi, charon haath pairon par. Woh Karan ke paas aayi jaise koi billi,



aur uske pant ke oopar se uske ling ko sehlaane lagi.

“Mmm... Karan... yeh... yeh kitna sakht ho gaya hai,” Akanksha ne karaaha apne honthon se uske pant par chumban karte hue.

Karan ki saans tez ho gayi. “mausiii... aah...”

Akanksha ne pant ka naada khola, aur uska ling baahar nikaala. Woh ab bilkul tana hua tha, garam aur sakht. Akanksha ne apne haath se usko pakda aur dheere se hilaane lagi.

“Aah... Karan... mujhe yeh chahiye,” woh boli, aur fir apne muh mein le liya.

Karan ne apna sir peeche jhuka diya, “Ooh... Mauu... mmm...”

Akanksha ne uske ling ko muh mein liya jeebh se chaatte hue. Woh dheere dheere andarbahaar karne lagi, apne haathon se uske andkosh ko sehlaate hue. Karan ke haath unke baalon mein the, unko pakadkar guide karte hue.

“Aah... aur zor se... Mausi... ooh haan... aise hi,” Karan karaah raha tha, uski aankhen bandh thi.

Akanksha ne gati badha di uske ling ko gehre gale tak lete hue. Unki awaaz gunj rahi thi chat chat jaise woh poora muh bhar rahi thi. Karan ka sharir kaanp raha tha, par woh niyantran karne ki koshish kar raha tha.

Kuch der baad Akanksha ne muh se uske ling ko nikaala, aur saans lete hue kaha, “Ab... ab baaki kapde?.”

Karan ne unko khada kiya aur bra ke button khole. Uske stan baahar aa gaye bade aur mulayam nipple sakht. Karan ne unko muh mein liya chooste hue.

“Aah... Karan... mmm... chooso... aur zor se,” Akanksha karaah rahi thi apne haath se uska sir dabaate hue.

Fir Karan ne uske panty pakadar neeche keech di ek jhatke mein, aur woh neeche gir gye. Akanksha ab bilkul nangi thi unki yoni geeli aur chamak rahi thi.

Akanksha ne Karan ko zameen par baithaya aur uski god mein baith gayi.



Dono aamne saamne Akanksha ke stan Karan ke seene se lag rahe the. Woh fir se chumban karne lage.

“Mmm... Karan... tumhara ling... mujhe mehsoos ho raha hai,” Akanksha ne kaha, apni yoni ko uske ling par ragadte hue.

Karan ne apne haath se usko pakda, aur dheere se andar daala. “Aah... Mausi... kitni tight ho tum...”

Akanksha ne karaaha, “Ooh... Karan... andar... poora andar... aah!”

Woh dheere dheere oopar neeche hone lagi, uske ling par baithkar. Karan ke haath unki kamar par the, unko oopar neeche karte hue. Dono karaah rahe the, saans tez thi.

“Aah... Karan... tez... mmm... aise hi... ooh bhagwan... tum kitne mazboot ho,” Akanksha chillayi, uski aankhen band ho rhe thein.

Karan ne gati badha di, unko zor se thokte hue. Unki yoni geeli thi chhap-chhap ki awaaz aa rahi thi. Akanksha ke stan uchal rahe the Karan unko pakadkar dabaata.

“Mmm... Mausi... tumhari yoni... kitni garam hai... aah,” Karan bola.

Kuch der yun hi chalta raha, dono paseene se bheeg gaye. Fir Akanksha ne kaha, “Ab... Mere pair jakad gye Hain.”

Karan ne usko god mein uthaya,

aur deewar ke paas le gaya. Akanksha ko deewar se laga diya unke pair zameen par uske hoothon ko chuste hue. Woh khadi thi peeche se deewar ka sahaara lie.



Karan ne apna ling fir se unki yoni par rakha, aur dheere se andar dhakela. “Aah......”

“Ooh... Karan... zor se... thoko mujhe... aah!” Akanksha karaah rahi thi apne haath deewar par rakhe.

Karan ne unki kamar pakdi aur zor-zor se dhakke maarne laga. Uski yoni mein uska ling andar bahaar ho raha tha, tez-tez. Awaaz gunj rahi thi thap thap thap.

“Aah... Karan... haan... aise... aur gehra... mmm... tum mujhe paagal kar rahe ho,” Akanksha chillayi.

Karan ke haath ab unke stanon par the, unko dabaate hue. Akanksha ka sharir kaanp raha tha woh charmotkarsh ke paas thi.

“Ooh... Karan... main... main aa rahi hoon... aah... andar hi daalo...aaj koi khatra nhi hai!” Akanksha ne chillaya.

Karan ne gati aur badha di uska garam ling unki yoni ko cheerta hua mehsoos ho raha tha. “Aah... Mausi... main bhi... ooh!”

Fir woh dono saath mein jhad gaye. Karan ka veery unki yoni mein bhar gaya, garam aur chipchipa. Akanksha ki yoni sikud rahi thi, usko doodh ki tarah nichodte hue.

“Aah... mmm... Karan... yeh... yeh adbhut tha,” Akanksha ne saans lete hue kaha apna sir uske kandhe par rakhte hue.

Dono wahi khade rahe, saans lete hue ek-doosre ko gale lagaye. Paani ki boondein abhi bhi gir rahi thi, par ab unmein unka paseena mil gaya tha. Yeh unka rishta tha gopniya, garam, aur ab aur gehra.

Jiske liye Karan ko abhi bahut ladna tha.

Aaj ke liye itna hi next chapter soon this was a big chapter! (1-2 days)
Click to expand...

Chapter me emotions, action, power aur strategy ka accha mix kiya hai, jo chapter ko kaafi strength deta hai. Mishaka ka acr chapter ko ek level up karne ki strength deta hai.

Plot & story​
Click to expand...

Chapter me teeno scene apne kaam bakhubi kar rahe hain. Par karan ka apni mausi (Akansha😓)ke liye pyaar aur gusse me kairav ki power ka chota sa hissa use karna, iska main focus tha. Jo ki chapter ka core hai. Last scene pure chapter ko heavy hone se bachata  hai, aur ek liye aur worm hook deta hai.

Charecters​
Click to expand...

Karan (☠️)— dark sward aur kairav ki powers se aur powerful ho chuka hai.

Akanksha — is charecter ke bare me kya hi bolun, lekin sach kahun toh, ye apni jimmedari ko bakhubi nibha rahi hai. Last wale scene ko chhod kar. Ye line " is sab me tum meri wajah se pade ho karan" suit karti hai.

Mishaka— ye charecter naye janm ke sath aur bhi powerful ho gaya, jo future me kafi kuch badal sakta hai.

Prachi — ye charecter apna kaam bahut hi bakhubi se nibha rahi hai.

Payal —  apne emotions par control rakhti hai. Rajya ko khatre se bahar nikalne ke liye strategi bana rahi hai. Jo ek acche yoddha ki nisani hai.

Need Improvements​
Click to expand...

Language & spelling mistakes

Pahle se acchi hai,par abhi bhi improvement mangi hai.​

Sentences & repetition

Pichle chapters se accha tha ye chapter, par sentences thode tighten ki ja sakti thi, aur kuch jagah par repetition bhi hai, jo chapter me kam kiya ja sakta tha.​

Character

Prachi — is charecter ke thoughts clear karne ki jarurat hai. Kyonki kahin kahin isne payal ko "rajkumari payal" ya sirf " payal" bola hai. Ek word deside karo, payal ya rajkumari payal.​

Bonus — mera ek sawal hai. Jab Aditya ne skeleton ko pani me feka tha aur uski hadiyan alag ho gayi thi, toh usne dobara se wahi kyon nahi try Kiya.
mere hisab se koi yodha itni bekar soch nahi rakhta hoga, ki aisa dekh kar bhi nazar andaz kar de.

BTW overall chapter kafi strong hai, fighting scenes acche liye hain, wo baat alag hai samajhne me time lagta hai.Rating dun toh...

Rating — 8.8/ 10
Possibility — 9.5/ 10

(Aur ek baat viyali ka skintone green tha maybe, blue toh bilkul nahi tha. Ek point bhul gaya hun yaad aayega toh likh dunga. Abhi bhul gaya hun.)

Chapter 28
Against the Flow


Payal us kachche jhodpi ke bahar baithi hui thi jo nadi ke kinare banaya gaya tha. Uski nigahen nadi ke us paar sthir thi jahan dushman ke skeleton sena apni vibhishika failaye khade the. Shaam ka dhundhala suraj ab khatam hone wala tha aur uski aakhri kiranein nadi ke paani par laal rang ki chamak rhi thein.



Payal lekin ke ungliyan lagatar apne khanjar ke moth par phir rhi thi ek aadat jo usne saalo ki ladaiyon se seekhi thi. Uski aankhen thaki hui thi lekin woh jhapak bhi nhi rhi thi. Woh har ek skeleton ko gin rhi thi unki harkaton ko dekh rhi thi.

Nadi ke us paar haddiyon ki woh fauj ek ajeeb si khamoshi mein khadi thi. Kabhi kabhi unme se ek do aage badhte the nadi ki taraf lekin jaise hi paani ke kareeb pahunchte peeche hat jaate the. Yeh baat Payal ko ajeeb lag rhi thi. Kya woh paani se dar rhe the? Ya kuch aur baat thi?

Uske kandhe par halki si thakan ka bojh thi pichle teen din se lagatar ladai chal rhi thi. Uski sena jo pehle sattar yoddhao ki thi, ab aadhi reh gayi thi. Kuch mar gaye the, kuch itne ghaayal ho gaye the ke woh ab lad nhi skte the. Aur yeh skeleton sena...yeh kabhi thakti hi nhi thi. Na soti thi, na khaati thi, na hi inhe dard mehsoos hota tha. Bas aage badhti rehti thi, ek atalata ke saath jo kisi bhi zinda insaan mein nhi ho skti thi.

Payal ne gehri saans li. Uske dimaag mein kai sawal ghoom rhe the. Kaise iss sena ko harayen? Kaise apne bache hue yoddhao ko bachaye? Aur sabse badi baat kitni der tak woh iss nadi ke kinare rok sakte the is fauj ko?

Tabhi peeche se kadam ki awaaz aayi. Payal ne peeche mudkar dekha. Prachi aa rhi thi uske chehre par chinta aur thakan saaf dikh rhe the. Uske baal bikhar gaye the, aur uske mathe par pasine ki boondein chamak rhi thi. Uske peeche chhota Veleys, uchal kood karta hua aa rha tha.

Prachi ne Payal ke paas aate hi apne ghutne tekh diye, saans phooli hui. "Rajkumari Payal," usne kaha, uski awaaz mein chinta thi, "maine abhi Aaditya aur Harish se baat ki."



Payal turant seedhi ho gayi uski poori tawajjo ab Prachi par thi. "Kya kaha unhone? Dusri kinare ki sthiti kaisi hai?"

Prachi ne apne chehre par gire hue baal ko peeche karte hue kaha, "Buri. Bahut buri, Payal. Hamare yoddha wahan bahut mushkil se lad rhe hain. Dushman sena baar baar hamla kar rhi hai...aur hamare jawan...woh thak gaye hain. Bahut zyada ghaayal ho gaye hain." Usne thodi si saans li phir aage boli, "Aaditya keh rha hai ke agar hum abhi peeche nhi hate toh...toh bahut bhaari nuksaan hoga. Woh wapas aana chahte hain."

Payal ke jbadon mein akdan aayi. Uski aankhen ek pal ke liye band hui, jaise woh apne andar ke gusse ko tham rhi ho. Phir usne aankhe kholi aur seedhe Prachi ki taraf dekha. "Kitne log bache hain wahan? Hamare yoddhao mein se kitne lad sakte hain abhi bhi?"

Prachi ne apne hont dabaye, jaise iska jawab dena use takleef de rha ho. "Tees. Sirf tees, Rajkumari Payal. Aur woh bhi sab theek haalat mein nhi hain. Kuch ke haath toote hain, kuch ki tangein ghaayal hain...woh bas kisi tarah lad rhe hain."

"Tees," Payal ne dheere se dohraaya, uski awaaz mein ek gehri niraasha thi. Usne apni nigah phir se nadi ke us paar ki taraf ghumayi, jahan skeleton sena abhi bhi khadi thi. "Aur unke paas kitne hain abhi bhi?"

Prachi ne apne kandhe gira diye. "Sau se zyada. Shayad sau das, sau bees. Humne kai maar giraaye hain, lekin...lekin inka koi ant nhi lag rha. Jitne hum marenge utne hi phir se khade ho jaate hain. Jaise unhe koi...koi shakti phir se jod rhi ho."

Payal ne apne daant dabaye. Yeh sab uski samajh se bahar tha. Normal yoddha, normal dushman unhe woh samajh skti thi unse lad skti thi. Lekin yeh skeletons jo maut ke baad bhi lad rhe the unse ek alag hi jung thi. Yeh sirf talwaron aur bhaalon se jeeti jaane wali ladai nhi thi.

"Koi kamzori?" Payal ne achanak pucha uski awaaz tez

"Kya tumne ya Aaditya ne kuch dekha? Kuch bhi jo humein fayda de sake?"

Prachi ne thoda sochte hue apne haathon ko aapas mein ragda. "Haan...ek baat hai jo humne dhayn di hai ki. Woh...woh jaan boojh kar paani se bach rhe hain."

Payal ke bhauhen uthi. "Matlab?"

"Matlab," Prachi ne aage samjhate hue kaha, "jab bhi koi kankaal nadi ke paas aata hai woh bilkul kinare tak aata hai lekin paani mein nhi utarta. Aaditya ne kaha ke ek baar unhone ek skeleton ko dhakka dekar paani mein gira diya tha...aur woh turant bikharne laga. Uski haddiyan alag hone lagi. Jaise paani mein koi aisi cheez ho jo unhe tod rhi ho."

Payal ki aankhen chamak uthi. Yeh woh jaankari thi jiska woh intezaar kar rhi thi. Paani. Paani unki kamzori hai. Shayad yeh woh chabi thi jisse is jung ko palta ja sake.

Usne apne dimag mein turant ek yojana banana shuru ho gye. Agar skeleton paani mein kamzor ho jaate hain, toh shayad...shayad woh is nadi ko apna hathiyar bana sakti hai. Lekin iske liye use kuch yojna chaiye the. Kuch aisa jo use kuch aisa karna hoga jo skeletons ko paani mein aane ke liye majboor kar de.

"Lakshya kahan hai?" Payal ne achanak pucha.

Prachi ne apne ek haath se Veleys ko sahlaaya jo uske paas aa kar baith gaya tha uski chhoti si doom hilate hue. "Woh ghaayalon ke paas hai. Unki marham patti kar rha hai. Bahut saare yoddha buri tarah se ghaayal hain, Payal. Kuch ko toh ab ladne layak bhi nhi chhoda ja sakta."

Payal ne ek lambi saans li. Lakshya. Woh bahut zaroori tha uski agli yojana ke liye. Woh VanRajya ka sabse behtar Ved tha, aur use nadion aur paani ki bahut gehri samajh thi.

"Kitni naaven taiyar ki ja sakti hain ek din mein?" Payal ne achanak pucha, uski aankhen Prachi par tiki hui.

Prachi thodi hairan hui is sawaal se. "Naaven? Payal, tumhara matlab?!?"

"Jawab do," Payal ne beech mein kaha, uski awaaz mein ek ajeeb sa dhairyya tha. "Kitni naaven ek din mein taiyar ki ja sakti hain? Chhoti furti wali, jo paani mein aasani se chal sake."

Prachi ne thoda socha. Uske dimaag mein bhi ab samajh aa rha tha ke Payal kya soch rhi hai. "Chaar...shayad paanch. Agar hum sab log mil kar kaam karein toh. Lekin Payal, naavon ka kya karogi? Hum kahan ja rhe hain?"

Payal ne apna sir hilaya, uske hothon par halki si muskaan aayi, ek aisi muskaan jo sirf tab aati hai jab koi bahut badi aur khatarnak yojana dimaag mein ban rhi hoti hai. "Abhi woh tumhe batane ka waqt nhi hai, Prachi. Pehle mujhe Lakshya se baat karni hai. Mujhe use yahin bulao. Jaldi."

Prachi ne haan mein sir hilaya. Woh samajh gayi thi ke Payal ke dimaag mein kuch chal rha hai, kuch aisa jo shayad unhe iss mushkil se nikal sake. Usne khadi hote hue apni kamzor tangon par jor diya aur Veleys ko bhi apne saath aane ka ishara kiya.

"Main abhi bhejti hoon use," Prachi ne kaha aur woh mudne lagi.

"Prachi," Payal ne use rokne ke liye pukaara. Prachi ruk gayi aur peeche mudi.

"Haan?"

Payal ne uski aankhen dekhi, gehrayi se. "Hamare jawan...jo tees bache hain...unhe kaho ke woh himmat na haare. Hum yeh ladai haar nhi rhe. Main kuch karungi. Bas thodi der aur, Prachi. Bas thodi der."

Prachi ke chehre par thodi si rahat aayi. Usne haan mein sir hilaya aur chali gayi, uske peeche Veleys bhi uchalte hue chala gaya uske chhote paron ki awaaz mitti par halki si thap thap karti kar rhe the.


"Paani tumhari kamzori hai," Payal ne dheere se apne aap se kaha, jaise woh un skeleton se baat kar rhi ho. "Aur ab main usi paani se tumhe khatam karungi."

Usne apne khanjar ko uthaya aur uski dhar ko dekha. Talwar ki dhaar par chaand ki roshni chamki aur Payal ko apni saari pichli ladaiyan yaad aa gayi. Yeh ladai bhi woh jeetegi. Chahe jo bhi ho.

Kuch der baad door se kadam ki awaaz aayi. Payal ne peeche mudkar dekha. Lakshya aa rha tha uske haath khoon se sane hue the ghaayalon ki marham patti karne se. Uska chehra thaka hua tha, lekin jaise hi usne Payal ko dekha, usne apni kamar seedhi ki aur tezi se uske paas aaya.

"Rajkumari Payal," Lakshya ne kaha uski saans abhi bhi phuli hui thi, "Prachi ne kaha aapne bulaya hai?"

Payal ne haan mein sir hilaya aur apne bagal mein zameen par haath maara. "Baitho, Lakshya. Mujhe tumse kuch zaroori baat karni hai. Bahut zaroori."

Lakshya baith gaya, uski aankhen Payal ke chehre par tiki hui. Usne dekha ke Payal ke aankhen chamak rhi thi.

"Bataiye Rajkumari," Lakshya ne kaha. "Kya karna hai?"

Payal ne nadi ki taraf ishara kiya. "Hum iss nadi ko apna sabse bada hathiyar banaane wale hain Lakshya. Aur iske liye mujhe tumhari aur Harish Kaka ke madad chahiye."

Lakshya ne Payal ke chehre ko dhyan se dekha, phir nadi ko phir us paar khadi skeleton sena ko. Aur dheere dheere uski samajh mein bhi aane laga ke Payal ke dimag mein kya chal rha hai.

"Bataiye," usne phir se kaha, lekin iss baar uski awaaz mein ek naya josh tha. "Hum par yeh kaise karenge?"

Payal ne muskurate hue apni yojana batani shuru ki.


***

Karan ne jhatke se Meher ko apne haath mein nikala aur peeche mudke block kar liya.

"CLANG!!!"

Dhatuon ke awaaz charon taraf goonji. Saamne ek makdi ka siphai khada tha, uske dono haathon mein do curved blades chamak rhe the Chand ke roshni mein. Uske aath pair zameen par majbooti se jame hue the, aur uske aankhe... woh kaale the bilkul andheron jaise par uske sharir par japde ke neeche hare rang ke chadar se chayi hue thi.

"Tum kon ho?" Karan ne zor se pucha apne blade ko taiyar rkhte hue.

Jawab ke jagah soldier ne bass apne dono blades ko cross kiya aur bina kuch kahe Karan pe hamla kar diya.

"Whoosh!!!"

Pehla blade Karan ke gale ke taraf aaya. Karan ne jhatke se neeche jhuka blade uske baalon ke upar se kat ke nikal gaya. Dusra blade turant hi neeche se aaya uske pet ke taraf. Karan ne peeche jump karke dodge kiya.

"Masster!" Meher ke awaaz uske dimaag mein chillaye.

Siphai dobara aage badha iss baar uske blades ek rhythm mein chal rhe the - left, right, left, right. Karan peeche peeche hota gaya har ek attack ko dodge karta hua. Uske pair ek patther par phisla aur woh balance khone laga.

Siphai ne yeh dekha aur turant upar se ek jor ka hamla kiya. Karan ne dono haathon se Meher ko pakad ke upar uthaya blades Meher se takra ke sparks nikale. Par jor itna tha ke Karan ke ghutne mud gye woh neeche gir gaya.

"Argh!" Karan ke muh se awaaz nikli.

Siphai wahi ruk gaya, apne blades ko ek taraf jhukaye. Fir achanak uske nazar bagal mein baithi Akansha par padi.

Karan ke aankhe bade ho gye jab usne usse Akansha ke taraf bhaagte hue dekha. "NAHI!!!"

Akansha dar ke maare peeche renge lagi par uske par woh tezi se chal nhi kar pa rhe thein.

Soldier ne apna blade upar uthaya aur

"KARAN!!!" Akansha chillaye.

Par Karan pehle se hi hawa mein tha. Gusse se uske aankhe safed ho chuki thein. "TUMNE GALTI KAR DI!!!"

Usne hawa mein Meher ko dono haathon se pakda aur pure zor se neeche ki taraf strike kiya. Sipahi ne last moment mein apna blade ghuma ke block karne ki koshish ki par Karan ke force itne jayda thi ke dono blades takrate hi soldier ka blade uske haath se door ja gira.

"Dham!!!"

Karan zameen par gira aur bina ruke ek aur baar uspe hamla kiya. Siphai ne bache hue blade se block kiya par Karan ruka nhi. Ek ke baad ek strikes, har ek pehle se zyada takatavar.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!!"

Siphai peeche hota gaya. Uske movements ab defensive ho gye the.

"Masster! Abhi chance hai!" Meher chillaye.

Karan ne ek baar apna blade upar ki taraf swing kiya jisse soldier ka bhi blade upar chala gaya. Soldier ka guard khula pad gaya. Karan ne turant neeche se ek kick mari jo seedhe soldier ke chest mein lagi.

"Ughh!!!"

Siphai peeche ki taraf udke ek ped se ja takraya. Karan bhagte hue uske paas pahuncha aur Meher ko uske gale pe rakha.

"Naam batao! Kisne bheja tumhe yahan?!" Karan ke awaaz mein gussa tha, "Bolo nahi toh abhi khatam kar dunga tumhe!"

Siphai ne kuch nhi kaha bass apne kaale aankhen Karan mein dekhe jaa rha tha.

"BOLO!!!" Karan ne aur zor se blade press kiya, thodi si cut lag gayi sipahi ke gale par.

"Karan ruko!" Peeche se Akansha ke awaaz aayi.

Karan ne peeche mudke dekha toh Akansha dheere dheere bhagte hue uske taraf aa rhe the.

"Mausi aap theek ho?" Karan ne pucha par apna blade soldier ke gale se nhi hataya.

Akansha paas aayi aur siphai ko gaur se dekhne lagi. Unke aankhe sankri ho gayi. "Karan... yeh Mesaka ka siphai nhi hai."

"Kya?" Karan chauk gaya, "Par yeh yahan-"

"Dekho," Akansha ne siphai ke japde ke neeche ki ishara kiya. Wahan ek azeeb kaim ke hare rang ke parat ka mark tha, jo chand ki roshni mein halka sa glow kar rha tha. "Yeh mark... meine pehle dekha hai. Yeh Jalyak ke sache sipahiyon ka hota hai."

Karan ne blade thoda hataya par siphai ko chodha nhi.

Siphai ne ant mein apna muh khola, uske awaaz rough thi. "Haan... mein Mesaka ka sevak nhi hoon."

"Toh tumne hamla kyu kiya?" Karan ne gusse se pucha.

"Kyuki tum log Mesaka ke doot ho," siphai ne seedhe awaaz mein kaha, "Tum dono yahan hamare ilake mein ghus aaye. Hamare nirdesh hai ke koi bhi jo Mesaka ke saath hai unhe pakad ke hamare leader ke paas laya jaye."

Akansha aage badhi uske neele skin chand ke roshni mein chamak rhi thi "Hum Mesaka ke doot nhi hai."

Siphai ke aankhe Akansha par ghumi. Usne unhe gaur se dekha, uske neele azeeb tarah ke skin, uska khoobsurat roop.

"Hum asal mein Vanraajya se aaye hai," Akansha ne dheeme par vishwas bhari awaaz mein kaha.

Siphai ke body thodi jakad gayi. "Vanraaj se? Jhooth mat bolo. Vanraajya ke log yahan kyu aayenge?"

"Sach bol rhe hoon mein," Akansha ne aage badh ke kaha, "Mein khud Vanraajya ke ek vansh se hoon. Humare... humare rishte pehle ache the Jalyak ke saath."

Karan ko yeh sab sun ke dimag ghum ho rha tha par woh chup rha. Use pata tha ke Akansha aisa kuch jaanti thi jo woh nhi jaanta tha.

Siphai kuch der chup rha jaise woh soch rha ho. Fir usne Akansha ko fir se dekha uske blue skin par ghoorte hue.

"Agar tum Vanraajya se ho," Soldier ne dheere se kaha, "Toh tumhe hamare Jalnayak se milna chahiye. Shayad woh tumhari baat sun le."

Akansha ke chere par halki chitna kam hue "Kya tum hume apne Jalnayak ke paas le ja sakte ho?"

Siphai ne kuch seconds tak socha. Uske japda kasa hua tha. Par fir usne dhire se sir hilaya. "Haan... par agar tumne koi chalbaazi ki toh-"

"Koi chaalbaazi nhi hai," Akansha ne turant kaha, "Hume bas tumhare Jalnayak se baat karni hai."

Karan ne ant mein aakhirkaar Meher ko neeche kar liya aur soldier se thoda door khada ho gaya. Par woh taiyar tha agar siphai ne fir se kuch karne ki koshish ki toh.

Siphai aage badhne laga. Karan aur Akansha uske peeche chalne lage.

Woh teeno andhere jungle ke beech chalne lage. Charon taraf sirf chand ki roshni thi aur dur se kuch ajeeb si awaze aa rhe thein shayad aur siphai ke ya fir kuch jaanwaron ke.

"Masster," Meher ke awaaz Karan ke dimaag mein aayi, "Mujhe yeh theek nhi lag rha. Kya hume iss siphai pe vishwas karna chahiye?"

"Hamare paas chara nhi hai Meher. Aur... Akansha Mausi ko lagta hai woh jaanti hai kuch. Hume unpe vishwas karna hoga."

"Hmph," Kairav ka awaaz bhi aa gye, "Agar yeh dhoka hua na toh mein sabse pehle iss siphai ka-"

"Shaant rho tum dono," Karan ne dono ko chup rhene ko kaha.

Siphai ne ek baar peeche mudke dekha, "Zyada dur nhi hai. Bas thodi der aur."



***

Kuch der baad woh teeno ek purane basaav ke paas pahunch gaye jo jungle ke ghane bel paton ke beech chupa hua tha. Purane makdiyon ke ghar jo lambe samay se yahan khade the unke deewaron par kayi saari latayen chad gayi thein.

Kairav ka awaaz Karan ke dimaag mein goonj rhi thi, "Yeh jagah theek nhi lag rhi."

Karan ko bhi shanka ho rhe the. Usne Akansha ki taraf dekha jo ab uske bilkul paas chal rhe thein. "Mausi... kya yeh sahi hai?"

Akansha ne uske aankhon mein dekha aur dheere se sir hilaya. "Haan Karan... hume unpe bharosa karna hoga. Yeh hamare purane saathi hai."

Sipahi unhe ek gufa ke taraf le gaya jo basaav ke beech mein thi. Gufa ke bahar kuch aur makdi sipahi khade the unke haathon mein bhaale the.


Sipahi bahar khade dono sipahiyon ke paas gaya. "Yeh dono Jalnayak se milna chahte hai."



Ek sipahi aage aaya. "Kya? Tu inn ghuspethiyon ko yahan lekar aaye ho?!? Inhe yahi khatam kar dena chahiye tha!"

"Nahi," Pehle sipahi ne sakht awaaz mein kaha, "Jalnayak ke sakht aadesh hai ke sirf pakadna hai unhe. Maarna nahi."

Dusra sipahi kuch der gusse se dekhta raha fir sir hilaya. "Theek hai. Par agar inhone koi chaal chali toh tumhari jimmedari hogi."

"Mujhe pata hai," Pehle sipahi ne jawab diya.

Baaki sipahiyon ne aapas mein kuch baatein ki aur fir ek unme se bhag ke andar gaya.

Karan aur Akansha gufa ke andar baithe intezaar karne lage. Karan ke haath Meher par majboot the aur woh har pal taiyaar tha agar kuch galat hua toh.

Kuch samay baad kadam ke awaze aayi. Karan ne bahar ki taraf dekha.

Gufa ke andar ek budha makdi aaha manav aaya. Uske aath pair dheere dheere chal rhe the umar ke bojh se. Uske sharir par safed baal the jo kabhi shayad kaale rahe honge. Uske chehre par lambi daadi thi jo neeche tak aa rhe the. Par uske aankhe... woh abhi bhi tez thein jaise kisi baaz ke. Uske ek haath mein ek lathi thi jisse woh sahara le rha tha.

Woh Karan aur Akansha ke paas aaya aur unhe gaur se dekhne laga.

Akansha khadi hui aur sir jhukayi. "Hum dono Vanraajya se hai."

Budhe ne sir hilaya aur dono ko apne saath aane ka ishara kiya.

Woh teeno ek bade kaksh mein pahunche. Kaksh purani thi par saaf thi. Charon taraf mashaalein jal rhe thein jo roshni de rhe thein. Beech mein kuch bade pathar ke shile rakhe the jo kursiyon ka kaam kar skte the.



"Baith jao," Budhe ne kaha, khud ek pathar par baith ke.

Karan aur Akansha bhi baith gye, Karan ab bhi satark tha.

Budhe ne ek aurat sewak ko ishara kiya aur kuch isharon mein kuch kaha. Aurat ne sir jhukaya aur bahar chali gayi.

Budha Karan aur Akansha ki taraf ghuma. "Toh tum dono Vanraajya se ho?"

Uske awaaz mein shanka saaf thi. Usne Akansha ke neele chamdi ko dekha fir uske chehre ko.

Akansha "J-jee."

Kuch der baad woh aurat sewak wapas aayi. Uske haath mein teen kaanch ke pyale the. Usne ek pyala budhe ko diya aur baaki do Karan aur Akansha ke saamne rakh diye.

Budhe ne apna pyala uthaya aur usme se kuch piya. Fir usne Karan aur Akansha ki taraf dekha.

"Yeh kya hai?" Karan ne pucha pyale ko dekhte hue.

Budhe ke chehre par ek muskan aayi jo dosti bhari nhi thi "Yeh ek saadha peya hai... agar tum dono sach mein Kaalandard ke praani nhi ho... toh yeh zeher hai. Khaas tarah ka zeher jo sirf kuch khaas Jalyak ke hisson mein paaya jaata hai. Yeh tumpar kaam karega. Par agar nhi karega... toh tum dono ko maar diya jayega."

Karan ke aankhe gusse se laal ho gayi. "Agar kaam karega toh hum bhi mar jayenge!"

Budha hasa uske hasi se pure kaksh mein goonj padi. "Chinta mat karo... mere paas ilaaj hai. Par mein tumhe bachaunga sirf tab... jab tum sabit kar do ke mein tumpar bharosa kar sakta hoon."

Karan gusse mein khada ho gaya. "Mein yeh bevkoofi nhi karne wala!"

Turant hi dus gyarah sipahi andar aaye aur Karan ko pakad liya. Unhone uske dono haath peeche bandh diye.

"Choro mujhe!" Karan chillaya, tapakta hua.

Budha ne apna sar hilaya. "Isliye mein jawan mardo se nafrat karta hoon. Hamesha hungama machate hai."

Usne Akansha ki taraf dekha. "Toh tum kya karogi? Chalo insaaf se baat karte hai... agar tum dono mein se ek bhi apni bebaki sabit kar sake... toh mein bharosa kar lunga."

Akansha ne pyale ko dekha. Uske haath kaanp rhe the. Uske wajah se hi Karan iss musibat mein fasa tha. Ab usko hi uske bachana hoga kisi bhi keemat par.

"Mausi nahi!" Karan chillaya, "Yeh mat piyo!"

Par Akansha ne pyala uthaya. Usne Karan ki taraf dekha aur muskurayi... ek dukhi muskurahat.

"Mein tumhe surakshit rakhungi...Karan," Akansha ne dheeme se kaha.

Aur pyale ko apne hothon se lagayi.

"NAHI!!!" Karan ki chillane ki awaaz pure kaksh mein goonji.

Akansha ne sara peya pi liya. Kuch pal tak kuch nhi hua. Fir achanak unke aankhe bade ho gye. Unka sharir kaampne laga.

"Mausi!" Karan ne jhatke maare par sipahiyon ne use pakde rakha.

Akansha zameen par gir gayi. Unka pura sharir akad gaya aur woh behosh ho gayi.

Karan ke aankhe dekhte dekhte badalne lagi. Laal se... safed. Pure safed. Jaise andar koi aur aa gaya ho.

"TUMNE KYA KIYA!!!" Awaaz Karan ki thi par taakat usse bahut zyada.

Sipahiyon ne Karan ko pakde rakha par achanak unhe laga jaise woh aag pakad rahe hai. Unke haath jalne lage.

"Aaahh!" Sipahi chillaye aur Karan ko chodhne lage.

Kairav ne pura niyantran le liya tha. Karan ka sharir hawa mein utha aur dark sword khud hi uske haath mein aa gayi. Talwar se laal roshni nikal rhe the jo pure kaksh ko andhera mein dhal rhe the.

"TUM SABKA ANTH AAYA HAI AAJ!" Karan ke awaaz mein sirf gussa tha.

Pehla sipahi aage badha apni talwar utha ke. Karan ne sirf haath hilaya aur woh sipahi deewar se ja takraya behosh hoke gir gaya.

Teen aur sipahi ek saath aaye. Karan ne Kairav ko ghumaya ek baar, bus ek baar. Aur teeno sipahiyon ke talwarein toot ke zameen par gir gayi. Ek aur baar aur teeno sipahi hawa mein ud ke peeche gir gaye.

"Massster! Apne gusse par kabu rakho!" Meher ki awaaz uske dimaag mein aayi par Kairav ka nikayantran Karan ke dimag mein abhi bhari tha.

Budhe ne yeh sab dekha aur uske aankhe badi ho gayi. Dark sword... woh talwar... woh rang...

Achanak budhe ne apne ghutne tek diye. Uska sir zameen ko chhoo gaya.

"Maaf kar dijiye swami!" Budha chillaya, "Mein apne sachhe malik ko nhi pahchaan paya jab woh mere saamne the!"

Karan ne Kairav ko upar uthaya

"Masster... Akansha Mausi!" Meher ki awaaz fir aayi, "Unhe bachana hai! Apne gusse par kabu rakho!"

Yeh sunke Karan ruka. Usne neeche Akansha ko dekha jo behosh padi thi.

Dheere dheere safed aankhe kam hone lagi. Laal rang wapas aane laga. Kairav ka niyantran dhela padne laga.

Karan wapas aaya. Uske saans tez tez chal rhe the. Woh zameen par gir gaya ghutne tek ke.

"Ilaaj... abhi," Karan ne sakht awaaz mein kaha, neeche Akansha ko dekh ke.

Budha turant khada hua. "Sewikon! Jaldi ilaaj lekar aao!"

Do aurat sewika bhaag ke aayi unke haath mein ek doosra pyala tha. Unhone Akansha ke muh mein woh peya ubhala.

"Yeh unhe theek kar dega," Budha ne kaha, "Yeh zeher sirf mann ko nuksan pahunchata hai, sharir ko nahi. Woh adhi raat tak theek hokar uth jayengi."

Usne sewikon ko aadesh diya, "Inhe sabse achhe kamre mein le jao aur dhyan rakho."

Chaar sewika aaye aur Akansha ko uthake le gayi.

Karan ne upar dekha, uske aankhen abhi bhi gusse se bhari thi. "Samjhao abhi kya bol rhe the tum."

Budhe ne gehri saans li. "Woh talwar... woh humare sachhe Kalraaj ki talwar hai. Jo bhi use pakadta hai... woh humara sachha malik hai."

"Tumhe altar se mili hogi?" Budhe ne pucha.

Karan ne sir hilaya.

Budhe ke chehre par hairani aur prashansa dikh gaye. "Tumne asamaanbhav kar dikhaya. Hum sau saalon se uss talwar ko paane ki koshish kar rhe the. Aur tumne yeh kar dikhaya hai."

Usne aage jhuk ke kaha, "Ab humari sena tumhari hai. Jo tum kahoge hum karenge."

Budha uthkar khada hua aur zor se bola, "Kalraaj ki jai!"

"Kalraaj ki jai!" Saare sipahi ek saath chillaye aur Karan ke saamne jhuk gye.

Karan iss sab ko dekh ke pareshan tha. Yeh kya ho rha tha? Kalraaj? Sachha malik? Kuch bhi samajh nhi aa rha tha.

Usne Kairav ko toh paa liya tha par abhi uspe usko puri tarah niyantran paane mein samay lagne wala tha. Par abhi uske mann mein sirf ek baat thi Akansha theek ho jayein. Baaki sab baad mein.

***

Dusre kshetra mein Jalyak ke Mesaka courtyard mein pahunchi. Uske gulabi aankhe charon taraf ke tabahi ko dekh rhe thein. Zameen par lahu faila hua tha tute hue sharir ke tukde bikre pade the. Uske apne sipahiyon ke sharir... aur dushman ke bhi.

Asim jo ek deewar ke paas khada tha, Mesaka ko dekh ke jhuka. Uske chehre par ghav the uske bhaale toot chuka tha. Woh Mesaka ka itne salon se sabse vafadaar chela tha.

"Maharani..." Asim ki awaaz kamzor thi, "Woh... woh bahut taqatwar hain. Unmein se kuch ko hamare teeron se bhi koi fark nhi pad rha."

Mesaka aage badhi uske aath pair zameen par awaaz karte hue chalne lage. Woh ek mutant ke tute hue sharir ke paas ruki. Kaala kavach hare rang ka teezab abhi bhi uske muh se tapak rha tha.

"Toh unhone naye hathiyar bana liye," Mesaka ne dheere se kaha par uske awaaz mein koi dar nhi tha. Ulta... uske honthon par ek kroor muskurahat aa gayi. "Kitne saalon baad mujhe aise dushman mile jo... thodi mehnat maangte hai."

Aage courtyard mein kayi saare sipahi lad rhe the. Mesaka ke bache hue yoddha apne kavach uthaye saamne wale mutant jalyakon se takra rhe the. Par har baar jab woh aage badhte acid unke kavach ko pighlata aur woh peeche hatne par majboor ho jaate.

Ek mutant ne ek sipahi ko pakda aur uske upar apna muh khola. Hara teezab seedhe sipahi ke chehre par gira.

"AAAHHHH!!!" Sipahi ki chillane ki awaaz Mesaka ke kaano mein padi.

Mesaka ke aankhe sankri ho gayi.

"Asim," Mesaka ne peeche bina dekhe kaha, "Sabko peeche bulao. Ab."

"Par Maharani-"

"ABHI!" Mesaka ki awaaz mein aisa zor tha ke Asim turant bhaag ke gaya aur baaki sipahiyon ko peeche bulane laga.

Mesaka aage badhi courtyard ke beech mein. Uske charon taraf mutant jalyak the. Pandrah... nahi bees. Aur har ek usse dekh rha tha unke kaale aankhen uske har harkat par tiki hui.

Ek mutant aage badha apna muh khol ke. Teezab bahar nikalne laga.

Mesaka ne apne dono haath aage kiye aur aankhe band kar li.

Achanak uske sharir se safed rang ke dhaage nikalne lage. Pehle kuch... fir sau... fir hazaaron. Dhaage hawa mein tair ke charon taraf failne lage jaise koi jivi vastu ho.


Dhaage itni tezi se faile ke mutant samajh bhi nahi paaye. Pure courtyard ko har kone ko har jagah ko dhagon ne dhaak liya. Ek jaadui jaal ban gaya tha jo zameen se lekar asmaan tak faila hua tha.

Mutant jinhone hamla karne ki koshish ki, woh jaal mein fas gaye. Jitna woh tapakte utna jaal majboot hota.

Mesaka ne apni gulabi aankhe kholi. Ab woh muskura rhe thein.

"Tumhe lagta hai mein itne aasani se mar jaungi?" Mesaka ne kaha, "Mein yahan ki RANI hoon!"

Usne ek haath hilaya aur jaal sakht ho gaya. Mutant jo fas chuke the, unka sharir dabne laga. Haddiyan tootne ki awaaz aa rhe thein.

Par baaki mutant samajhdar the. Unhone jaal se bachne ke liye neeche zameen mein ghusne ki koshish ki. Unke pairo ne zameen ko khodna shuru kiya.

Mesaka ne yeh dekha aur zor se hasi. "Sochte ho bhaag jaoge?"

Usne dono haath aur aage kiye. Iss baar uske dhagon ka rang badalne laga. Safed se... sunahera.

Sunahera dhaage un mutants tak pahunche jo zameen mein ghus rhe the. Jaise hi dhaage unhe chhue mutants ka sharir ruk gaya. Bilkul ruk gaya.

Pehle mutant ne apna sir upar kiya. Par ab uske aankhen... woh gulabi ho chuki thein. Mesaka jaise.

"Uth jao," Mesaka ne hukum diya.

Mutant khada ho gaya.

"Apne saathiyon par hamla karo."

Bina kuch socha mutant apne hi bhaaiyon ki taraf mud gaya aur hamla karne laga. Uske muh se teezab nikla par iss baar apne saathiyon par. Jo bhi un sunhere dhagon ke chapet mein aata uspe Mesaka ka kabu ho jata tha.

Mesaka ne ek ek karke saat mutants ko apne control mein le liya. Aur ab woh saare apas mein hi lad rhe the.

Peeche khade sipahi yeh sab dekh ke dang reh gye. Asim ke muh khula ka khula reh gaya.

"Yahi hai Maharani ki takat," Ek purana sipahi ne kaha, "Isliye woh Jalyak ke rani hai."

Par achanak... ek awaaz aayi. Gehri darwani awaaz.

"Lagta hai tumne apni poori takat dikha di, Rani Mesaka."

Charon taraf ke mutant peeche hate aur beech se ek naya makdi aaya. Yeh makdi baaki mutants se bilkul alag tha. Uska aakaar zyada bada tha, uske sharir par kaala kavach nhi balki hare rang ke nishaan the jo chamak rhe the. Uske aath pair bahut tez aur ghane the, aur uske aankhen...jisme koi daya nhi dikh rhe the.

"Kaun ho tum?" Mesaka ne pucha par uske awaaz mein thoda shanka aa gayi thi.

"Mera naam hai Drayvek," Makdi ne kaha, "Aur mein yahan tumhara ant karne aaya hoon."

Asim aage badhna chata tha par Mesaka ne haath uthakar use roka.

Drayvek ne apne ek pair ko zameen par mara. Achanak uske sharir se bhi dhaage nikalne lage. Par yeh dhaage Mesaka ke dhagon se bilkul alag the. Yeh gehre kaale rang ke the aur inmein se ek ajeeb si chamak aa rhe the.

"Tumhe lagta hai sirf tumhare paas jaal hai?" Drayvek ne kaha aur hasa.

Usne apne dhaage Mesaka ke jaal ki taraf phenke. Jaise hi dono jaal takraye, Mesaka ke safed dhaage katne lage. Kat ke neeche gir rhe the.

Mesaka ke aankhe badi ho gayi. "Yeh... yeh kaise ho skta hai?"

"Mere dhaage tut nhi skte," Drayvek ne kaha, aage badhte hue, "Yeh sabse mazboot vastu se bane hai. Tumhare jaal meri shakti ke saamne kuch bhi nhi hai."

Drayvek ne aur dhaage phenke jo seedhe Mesaka ki taraf aaye. Mesaka ne apne dhaagon se rokne ki koshish ki par woh kat gaye.

"Maharani!" Asim chillaya aur bhaag ke beech mein aa gaya.

Usne apne dhaage nikale aur Drayvek ke dhagon ko rokne ki koshish ki. Asim ke dhaage bhi mazboot the, bahut mazboot. Kuch pal tak dono ke dhaage takrate rahe.

"Hmm tum bhi acha ladte ho," Drayvek ne kaha, "Par kaafi nahi."

Drayvek ne ek aur pair hilaya aur uske muh se kuch bahar aaya. Gehre hare rang ka dhuan. Zeher.

"Nahi!" Mesaka chillaye.

Par bahut der ho chuki thi. Dravyek Asim tak pahunch gaya. Varak ne saans lene ki koshish ki par zeher uske andar ghus gaya.

"Maha...rani..." Asim ke muh se khoon niklne laga. Uske pair kaampne lage.

Drayvek ne ek aakhri waar kiya. Uske kaale dhaage Varak ke sharir ko cheerte hue andar ghus gaye aur fir... bahar se usko sarir ko phaad diye.

Asim ka sharir zameen par gira. Uski aankhen khuli ki khuli reh gayi.

"Asimmmm!!!" Mesaka ke chillane ki awaaz pure mahal mein goonji.

Mesaka ke aankhen laal ho gayi gusse se. Usne apne aath pair se zameen mein zor se maara. Pure courtyard mein dararein pad gayi.

"Tumne mera sabse wafadar sipahi maar diya," Mesaka ne kaha uske awaaz mein ab sirf gussa tha, "Ab tumhe marne mein mujhe bahut maza aayega."

Usne apne sunahera dhaage nikale aur Drayvek ki taraf phenke. Par Drayvek taiyaar tha. Usne apne kaale dhaage phenke jo sunahera dhagon se takraye.

Dono yoddha ab aapas mein lad rhe the. Mesaka ke dhaage aur Drayvek ke dhaage hawa mein takra rhe the, awaaz nikal rhe thein jaise talwarein takra rhe ho.

Mesaka uske sunahera dhaage Drayvek tak pahunchne ki koshish kar rhe the taaki use control kar sake. Par Drayvek ke kaale dhaage beech mein aake rok rhe the.

"Sochti ho mujhe par niyantran kar logi?" Drayvek ne kaha, "Mein bahut lambe samay se tayaari kar rha tha tumse ladne ki. Tumhari har chaal mujhe pata hai."

Drayvek ne apne sare dhaage ek saath phenke. Itne saare dhaage ke Mesaka bach nhi paayi. Kuch dhaage uske pair mein lapate kuch uske haathon mein.

Mesaka giri par usne haar nhi maani. Usne apne bache hue dhaage Drayvek par phenke par Drayvek ne unhe aaram se tod diye.

Drayvek Mesaka ke paas aaya. Usne apna ek tez pair upar uthaya.

"Ab tumhare ant ka samay aa gaya hai Rani Mesaka,"

Usne apna pair neeche mara jo seedhe Mesaka ki chaati mein ghusa.

"Aahhh!" Mesaka ki awaaz nikli. Uske muh se khoon nikalne laga.

Peeche se sipahi dekhte rahe, sab ke chehre par darr tha. Unki Rani har rhe thein.

Par achanak... Mesaka ke honthon par ek muskurahat aayi. Khoon ke beech bhi woh muskura rhe thein.

"Kya... sochte ho... itne aasani se... maar diya mujhe?" Mesaka ne kaha.

Drayvek ko kuch samajh nhi aaya.

Mesaka ke sharir mein dararein aane lagi. Safed rang ki roshni un dararon se nikal rhe the.

Mesaka ne kuch fusfusaya.

"Yeh kya?!? " Drayvek peeche hatne laga.

Par Mesaka ke sharir se ek ajeeb si roshni nikli jo seedhe peeche khadi Viyali tak pahunchi. Viyali jo yeh sab dekh rhe thein achanak uska sharir kaampne laga.

"Nahi... Maharani....." Viyali ki awaaz nikli par woh khud ko rok nhi paayi.

Mesaka ka purana sharir khali khol ki tarah zameen par gira. Aur Viyali ka sharir chamakne laga.

Viyali ke neele rang ka sharir badalne laga. Unke aankhe gulabi hone lagi. Unka aakaar badne laga. Aur sab se ajeeb... unke peeche se char aur pair nikle.

Kuch pal mein Viyali ki jagah ek nayi Mesaka khadi thi. Yeh Mesaka pehle se aur bhi zyada taqatwar lag rhe thein. Uske ab gyarah pair the, uska sharir pehle se bada tha aur uske gulabi aankhen ab sone ki chamak ke saath chamak rhe thein.



"Yeh... yeh kaise..." Drayvek peeche hata pehli baar uske awaaz mein darr tha.

Nayi Mesaka ne apna sir upar kiya aur zor se hasi. Uski hasi se pure mahal ki deewaren kaanp uthi.

"Tumne socha tha ke maar diya mujhe?" Nayi Mesaka ne kaha, "Mein itni aasani se nhi marti. Jalayak ke Maharani hamesha naya roop lene ke lie ek sevak taiyar rkhte hai!!! Aur ab... ab tumhe dikhati hoon asli shakti."

Mesaka ne apne gyarah pair zameen par ek saath mare. Awaaz itni tez thi ke Drayvek bhi apne ghutne tek ke gir gaya.

Fir Mesaka ne apne naye dhaage nikale. Par yeh dhaage pehle ke dhagon se bilkul alag the. Yeh laal the aur inmein se ek tez roshni nikal rhe the.

Laal dhaage itni tezi se nikle ke Drayvek samajh nhi paaya. Unhone Drayvek ke kaale dhagon ko cheerte hue ek taraf phenk diya. Kaale dhaage jo tod nhi skte the... woh ab toot gaye the.

"Nahi! Yeh asamaanbhav hai!" Drayvek chillaya.

Mesaka ke laal dhaage Drayvek ke charon pair mein lapate. Jitna Drayvek chutne ki koshish karta utna dhaage tight hote.

"Mere naye roop mein," Mesaka ne kaha aage badhte hue, "Meri takat dus guna badh jaati hai. Isliye Viyali ko meine itna bada kiya tha. Lekin Tumhari murkhta ke wajah se mein aur takatvar banane se reh gyi. Par fir bhi ab tumhare jaal mere aage kuch bhi ab kuch nhi hai."

Mesaka ne aur laal dhaage nikale jo Drayvek ke muh ke aas paas lapate. Ab Drayvek apna zeher bhi nhi nikaal sakta tha.

"Tumne mera sabse wafadar sipahi maara," Mesaka ne kaha, Drayvek ke bilkul paas aa ke "Tumne mujhe takleef di. Aur ab... ab tum meri mehmaandaari dekhoge."

Mesaka ne apne sunahera dhaage bhi nikale. Yeh dhaage Drayvek ke sharir mein ghusne lage.

Drayvek ki aankhe badalne lagi. Nili se... gulabi.

"Nahi... nahi... mujhe...!!!!" Drayvek bade mushkil se bola.

Par Mesaka ne suna nhi. Uske sunahere dhaage ab Drayvek ke pure sharir ko dhaak chuke the.

Kuch pal baad Drayvek ki aankhe puri tarah gulabi ho gayi. Uska sharir shaant ho gaya.

"Ab uth jao," Mesaka ne hukum diya.

Drayvek khada ho gaya jaise koi kathputli ho.

"Apne bhaaiyon ko maaro aur isko samapt karo ab."

Drayvek bina kuch socha palat gaya aur apne hi mutant bhaaiyon par hamla karne laga. Uske kaale dhaage jo tut nhi skte the ab apne hi logo ko maar rhe the.

Baaki mutant yeh dekh ke darr gaye. Unka sabse taqatwar yoddha ab dushman ka gulam ban gaya tha.

"Bhaago!" Ek mutant chillaya.

Saare mutant bhaagne lage deewar mein ched ke taraf. Par Mesaka ne unhe aasani se jaane nhi diya. Usne apne laal dhaage phenke jo kayi mutants ko pakad ke wahi maar diye.

Kuch mutant bhagne mein safal ho gaye. Par jitne yaahan the sab ke sab maar diye gaye.

Jab sab khatam ho gaya, Mesaka wahan khadi rhe Drayvek uske paas khada tha gulabi aankhen liye, Mesaka ka control mein.

Peeche se saare sipahi ek awaaz mein chillaye, "Maharani Mesaka ki jai! Jai! Jai!"

Mesaka ne Asim ke sharir ki taraf dekha jo zameen par pada tha. Uske gulabi aankhen thodi dukhi ho gayi.

"Tumhari qurbani yaad rakhi jayegi Asim," Mesaka ne dheere se kaha.

Fir usne Drayvek ki taraf dekha. "Tumhe mein pinjre mein rakhungi. Jab jarurat hogi tab tum mere liye ladoge. Yahi hai tumhari saza."

Drayvek ne gulabi aankhen liye bas sir hilaya. Woh ab sirf ek kathputli tha ab.

Mesaka ne courtyard ki taraf dekha jahan tabahi machhi hui thi. Usne gehri saans li.

"Yeh jung ab aur lambi chalegi," Mesaka ne apne sipahiyon se kaha, "Par hum jeetenge. Kyuki mein Jalraaj ki Rani hoon. Aur koi bhi mujhe yahan se nhi hata skta. Koi bhi nhi haha haaha!!!"



****


Karan kursi par baitha hua tha Akansha ke palang ke bilkul bagal mein. Raat guzar chuki thi par uski aankhen abhi bhi khuli thi. Woh baar baar Akansha ko dekh rha tha unke chere par ek santusti thi. Jane kis baat ko lekar?



"Mausi theek ho jayengi na?" Karan ne khud se pucha.

Meher aur Kairav dono chup the. Dono ko pata tha ke Karan bahut pareshaan hai.

Raat dheere dheere guzarti gayi. Mashaalein jal rhe thein jo kamre mein halki roshni de rhe thein. Karan ka sir dheere dheere neeche jhukne laga. Uski aankhen band hone lagi.

"Bas... thodi der... aur..." Karan ne khud se kaha par woh itna thak gaya tha ke uski aankhen band ho gayi.

Uska sir kursi ke peeche ki taraf jhuk gaya aur woh gehri neend mein so gaya.

***

Subah ki pehli kiran kamre mein aayi. Karan ki aankhen dheere se khuli. Usne ek baar apna gala saaf kiya aur apne gardaan ko ghumaya jo akad gayi thi.

"Uff... kitni buri tarah se need lag gye," Karan ne khud se kaha.

Fir achanak use yaad aaya Akansha!!!!

Usne jhatke se palang ki taraf dekha par... Akansha wahan nhi thi. Palang khali thi chadar ek taraf hati hui thi.

"Mausi?" Karan khada ho gaya kamre mein charon taraf dekhte hue. "Mausi kahan hai?"

Par kamra khali tha.

Karan ke dil ki dhakan tez ho gayi. Woh bhaag ke bahar aaya. Corridor mein do aurat sewika jhaadu laga rhe thein.

"Tumne... tumne ek aurat ko dekha yahan se?" Karan ne jaldi se pucha, "Neele rang ki... woh... woh mere saath thi?"

Dono sewikon ne ek dusre ko dekha aur fir muskurayi.

"Haan, woh toh jag gayin bahut der pehle," Ek sewika ne kaha, "Hum unhe sab kuch samjha diye. Woh ab shaant hai."

"Kahan hai woh?" Karan ne pucha.

Dusri sewika ne kamre ki taraf ishara kiya. "Shayad woh nahane gaye hai andar."

Karan ne rahat ki saans li. "Theek hai... shukriya."

Woh wapas kamre ke andar aaya. Ek taraf ek darwaza tha jo band tha. Wahan se pani ki halki awaaz aa rhe thein.

Karan ne darwaze ke paas ja ke dheere se dastak di.

"Kaun hai?" Andar se Akansha ki awaaz aayi.

"Mausi? Mein hoon... Karan," Karan ne jawab diya.

Kuch pal ki khamoshi rahi. Fir Akansha ne kaha, "Andar aa jao."

Karan chaunk gaya. "K-kya? Par aap-"

"aa jao Karan,"

Karan ne darwaza dheere se khola aur andar jhanka. Kamra chhota tha par achha bana hua tha. Beech mein ek bada pathar ka hauz tha jisme pani bhara hua tha. Aur Akansha... woh hauz ke kinare baithi thi pani se bahar. Unke baal geele the aur pani ki boonde unke neele chamdi par chamak rhe thein.




"M-mausi... mujhe laga ke... matlab aap theek hai na?" Karan ne hadbadate hue pucha, darwaze ke paas hi khada rahte hue.

Akansha ne halke se hasi. "Haan Karan... ab bilkul theek hoon. Subah jab uthi toh sewikon ne sab bataya. Ke kaise tumne mujhe bachaya."

"N-nahi... woh toh..." Karan abhi bhi neeche dekh rha tha.

"Karan," Akansha ne uska naam liya, "Idhar dekho mujhe."

Karan ne dheere se upar dekha. Akansha uske taraf muskura rhe thein, par yeh muskurahat... kuch alag thi. Kuch ajeeb se.

"Tum bahut....bahut bahaddur ho Karan," Akansha ne kaha, "Itne khatare mein bhi tumne meri chinta ki."

"Aap... aap meri Mausi hai," Karan ne kaha, "Mein aapko kaise-"

"Mausi," Akansha ne yeh shabd dohraaya, thoda ajeeb tarike se. "Haan... mein tumhari Mausi hoon. Par kabhi kabhi... mujhe lagta hai ke tum mujhe Mausi se zyada kuch samajhte ho."

Karan ke aankhe badi ho gayi. "M-matlab? Mera matlab... mujhe samajh nhi aaya."

Akansha khadi hui pani hauz se kinare par. Saree kapda unke sharir par chipka hue the geele hone ki wajah se. Woh dheere dheere Karan ki taraf badhi.

Karan ke pair jaise jameen mein jad gaye the. Woh hil nhi pa rha tha unhe sundarata dekhar.

Akansha ab bilkul paas aa chuki thein. Unke geele baal unke kandhe par the aur pani ki boonde ab bhi unke chehre se girte ja rhe thein.

"Tum jaante ho Karan," Akansha ne dheere se kaha unki awaaz mein ek alag si sur thi, "Jab tumne mujhe bachane ke liye woh khatra liya... jab tumne meri taraf uss tarike se dekha jab mein zameen par padi thi... mujhe laga ke shayad... shayad tum mujhe kuch aur samajhte ho."

"Mausi aap... aap theek toh hai na?" Karan ne pucha, peeche hatne ki koshish karte hue par uski peeth darwaze se lag gayi.

Akansha ne apna haath aage badha kar Karan ke gaal par rakha. Unka haath thanda aur geela tha. "Bilkul theek hoon Karan. Pehli baar bahut lambe samay baad... bilkul aise mehsoos kar rhe ho jaise Ravisha ke baad mujhe apna koi saathi Mila hai."

Karan ke saans tez ho gayi. "M-mausi... shayad aapko aur aaram karna chahiye. Woh zeher... shayad abhi bhi-"

"Zeher?" Akansha hasi, "Zeher toh nikal gaya Karan. Jo ab andar hai... woh kuch aur hai."

Unke gulabi aankhe Karan ki aankhen mein dekh rhe thein. Bahut gaur se.

"Tum itne jawan ho," Akansha ne kaha, "Aur itne mazboot bhi. Jab tumne woh talwarein chalai... jab tumhari aankhe safed ho gayi thi... mujhe bahut darr laga. Par saath saath... kuch aur bhi mehsoos hua."

"M-mausi yeh sab..." Karan ka gala sukh gaya tha.

Akansha ne apna dusra haath bhi Karan ke dusre gaal par rakha. Ab woh Karan ka chehra dono haathon mein pakde hue thein.

"Karan," Akansha ne fusfusaya, "Kabhi kabhi... kuch rishte naam se zyada gehre hote hai. Samajh rahe ho?"

"Haaaa," Karan ne sach mein kaha, "Mujhe kuch samajh nhi aa rha."

Akansha ke honthon par ek muskurahat aayi. Woh Karan ke bahut paas aa gayi, itna paas ke Karan unki saans mehsoos kar sakta tha.

Karan ne unki taraf dekha. Unki gulabi aankhen ab bilkul paas thi, aur unki saans ki garmaahat uske chehre par mehsoos ho rahi thi. “Koi baat nahi mausi... par aap sach mein theek ho na?”

Akanksha ne muskuraya, aur is baar muskaan mein woh sur tha jo pehle tha. Woh dheere se Karan ke paas sarki, aur unka haath uske kandhe par chala gaya. “Haan Karan. Bilkul theek. Aur tum... tum mere liye itna kar rahe ho. Mujhe... mujhe bhi tumhare liye kuch karna hai...mmmmm.”

Karan ka dil fir se tez hua par is baar darr ke saath kuch aur bhi tha. Woh jaanta tha ke unka rishta ab pehle jaisa nahi raha. Pehle bhi... pehle bhi kai baar aisa hua tha raat ke andhere mein jab koi nahi dekh raha hota. Yeh unka raaz tha ek aisa rishta jo mausi-beta se bahut aage badh chuka tha.

Akanksha ne apna chehra Karan ke chehre ke paas laaya aur dheere se uske honthon par apne honth rakh diye aur dono saath mein neeche baith gye.



Karan ki aankhen band ho gayi aur woh chumban mein kho gaya. Unka chumban dheere dheere gehra hota gaya Akanksha ki jeebh uske muh mein ghus gayi, aur woh dono ek doosre ko choomte hue saans le rahe the.

“Mmm... Karan...” Akanksha ne karahte hue kaha chumban todte hue. Unka haath ab Karan ke seene par tha uski shirt ke andar haath daalte hue.

Karan ne bhi apne haath Akanksha ki kamar par rakhe unki saadi ke oopar se unki kamar ko sehlaate hue. “mausi... Aap bahut sundar ho- Par abhi halat mein yeh shi hai?!?”

Akanksha ne haskar kaha, “Karan hum dono jaante hain yeh sahi hai. Ab chup... aur mujhe mehsoos karo.”

Woh fir se chumban karne lagi is baar aur zor se. Karan ke haath ab unki peeth par the saadi ko dheela karte hue. Hauz ke paas baithkar, paani ki halki chhapak unke kaanon mein gunj rahi thi.

Kuch der baad Akanksha ne chumban toda aur saans lete hue kaha, “Karan... aao na, saath mein nahaate hain. Yeh paani itna garam hai... aur tumhare saath... mujhe aur garam mehsoos ho raha hai.”

Karan ne sir hilaaya uska chehra laal ho gaya tha. Woh khada hua, aur Akanksha ko haath pakadkar khada kiya. Dono hauz ke andar utar gaye Akanksha abhi bhi saadi mein thi. Paani unke ghutnon tak tha, aur saadi geeli hokar unke sharir se chipak gayi.

“Aah... yeh paani... kitna achha lag raha hai,” Akanksha ne karaaha, apne haathon se paani uthakar Karan ke chehre par daala.

Karan hasa aur usne bhi paani uthaya. Dono has-has kar paani mein khelne lage, par jaldi hi yeh khel chumban mein badal gaya. Karan uske honthon ko choomne laga. Uska haath ab saadi ke andar tha unki jaanghon ko sehlaate hue.

“Mmm... Karan... aur zor se,” Akanksha ne fusfusaya apne haath se Karan ki kurta utaarte hue.

Karan ne apni shirt utaar di, aur ab woh sirf pant mein tha.



Akanksha ke haath uske seene par the. Dono paani mein chumban karte hue.

Fir Akanksha ne kaha, “Bahar chalo Karan... mujhe tumhe dekhna hai.”

Dono hauz se bahar aaye, paani ki boondein unke shariron se gir rahi thi. Akanksha ne Karan ko wahan baithaya, aur khud uske saamne khadi ho gayi.

Karan ne dheere se Akanksha ki saadi ka pallu pakda aur dheela kiya. Saadi dheere dheere khulti gayi aur jaise hi woh giri, Akanksha sirf ab underwear mein the. Uska sharir chamak raha tha geela aur mulayam.

“Mausi... tum kitni sundar ho,” Karan ne kaha, apne haath se unki kamar pakadte hue.

Akanksha muskurayi, aur dheere se ghutnon ke bal baith gayi, charon haath pairon par. Woh Karan ke paas aayi jaise koi billi,



aur uske pant ke oopar se uske ling ko sehlaane lagi.

“Mmm... Karan... yeh... yeh kitna sakht ho gaya hai,” Akanksha ne karaaha apne honthon se uske pant par chumban karte hue.

Karan ki saans tez ho gayi. “mausiii... aah...”

Akanksha ne pant ka naada khola, aur uska ling baahar nikaala. Woh ab bilkul tana hua tha, garam aur sakht. Akanksha ne apne haath se usko pakda aur dheere se hilaane lagi.

“Aah... Karan... mujhe yeh chahiye,” woh boli, aur fir apne muh mein le liya.

Karan ne apna sir peeche jhuka diya, “Ooh... Mauu... mmm...”

Akanksha ne uske ling ko muh mein liya jeebh se chaatte hue. Woh dheere dheere andarbahaar karne lagi, apne haathon se uske andkosh ko sehlaate hue. Karan ke haath unke baalon mein the, unko pakadkar guide karte hue.

“Aah... aur zor se... Mausi... ooh haan... aise hi,” Karan karaah raha tha, uski aankhen bandh thi.

Akanksha ne gati badha di uske ling ko gehre gale tak lete hue. Unki awaaz gunj rahi thi chat chat jaise woh poora muh bhar rahi thi. Karan ka sharir kaanp raha tha, par woh niyantran karne ki koshish kar raha tha.

Kuch der baad Akanksha ne muh se uske ling ko nikaala, aur saans lete hue kaha, “Ab... ab baaki kapde?.”

Karan ne unko khada kiya aur bra ke button khole. Uske stan baahar aa gaye bade aur mulayam nipple sakht. Karan ne unko muh mein liya chooste hue.

“Aah... Karan... mmm... chooso... aur zor se,” Akanksha karaah rahi thi apne haath se uska sir dabaate hue.

Fir Karan ne uske panty pakadar neeche keech di ek jhatke mein, aur woh neeche gir gye. Akanksha ab bilkul nangi thi unki yoni geeli aur chamak rahi thi.

Akanksha ne Karan ko zameen par baithaya aur uski god mein baith gayi.



Dono aamne saamne Akanksha ke stan Karan ke seene se lag rahe the. Woh fir se chumban karne lage.

“Mmm... Karan... tumhara ling... mujhe mehsoos ho raha hai,” Akanksha ne kaha, apni yoni ko uske ling par ragadte hue.

Karan ne apne haath se usko pakda, aur dheere se andar daala. “Aah... Mausi... kitni tight ho tum...”

Akanksha ne karaaha, “Ooh... Karan... andar... poora andar... aah!”

Woh dheere dheere oopar neeche hone lagi, uske ling par baithkar. Karan ke haath unki kamar par the, unko oopar neeche karte hue. Dono karaah rahe the, saans tez thi.

“Aah... Karan... tez... mmm... aise hi... ooh bhagwan... tum kitne mazboot ho,” Akanksha chillayi, uski aankhen band ho rhe thein.

Karan ne gati badha di, unko zor se thokte hue. Unki yoni geeli thi chhap-chhap ki awaaz aa rahi thi. Akanksha ke stan uchal rahe the Karan unko pakadkar dabaata.

“Mmm... Mausi... tumhari yoni... kitni garam hai... aah,” Karan bola.

Kuch der yun hi chalta raha, dono paseene se bheeg gaye. Fir Akanksha ne kaha, “Ab... Mere pair jakad gye Hain.”

Karan ne usko god mein uthaya,

aur deewar ke paas le gaya. Akanksha ko deewar se laga diya unke pair zameen par uske hoothon ko chuste hue. Woh khadi thi peeche se deewar ka sahaara lie.



Karan ne apna ling fir se unki yoni par rakha, aur dheere se andar dhakela. “Aah......”

“Ooh... Karan... zor se... thoko mujhe... aah!” Akanksha karaah rahi thi apne haath deewar par rakhe.

Karan ne unki kamar pakdi aur zor-zor se dhakke maarne laga. Uski yoni mein uska ling andar bahaar ho raha tha, tez-tez. Awaaz gunj rahi thi thap thap thap.

“Aah... Karan... haan... aise... aur gehra... mmm... tum mujhe paagal kar rahe ho,” Akanksha chillayi.

Karan ke haath ab unke stanon par the, unko dabaate hue. Akanksha ka sharir kaanp raha tha woh charmotkarsh ke paas thi.

“Ooh... Karan... main... main aa rahi hoon... aah... andar hi daalo...aaj koi khatra nhi hai!” Akanksha ne chillaya.

Karan ne gati aur badha di uska garam ling unki yoni ko cheerta hua mehsoos ho raha tha. “Aah... Mausi... main bhi... ooh!”

Fir woh dono saath mein jhad gaye. Karan ka veery unki yoni mein bhar gaya, garam aur chipchipa. Akanksha ki yoni sikud rahi thi, usko doodh ki tarah nichodte hue.

“Aah... mmm... Karan... yeh... yeh adbhut tha,” Akanksha ne saans lete hue kaha apna sir uske kandhe par rakhte hue.

Dono wahi khade rahe, saans lete hue ek-doosre ko gale lagaye. Paani ki boondein abhi bhi gir rahi thi, par ab unmein unka paseena mil gaya tha. Yeh unka rishta tha gopniya, garam, aur ab aur gehra.

Jiske liye Karan ko abhi bahut ladna tha.
