29. Kids Dilemma
Update 29
"Wo log pakka idhar hi gaye hai.. hai.hai na??" Tara ne ankit se
poocha. Wo log is waqt corridor ke ant par khade the aur samne ka
scene dekh rahe the. Is hisse mai andhera jyada tha aur unke samne
jaha corridor bayi taraf mud raha tha jo poori tarah andhere se
dooba hua tha.
"Apni-apni torch nikal lo sab.." avinash ne apne bag se torch nikalte
huye kaha. Uski baat sunkar bakiyo ne bhi torches nikal li. Unhone us
hisse mai roshni ki to dekha wo bhi ek lamba corridor hi tha. Wo log
jaise hi waha mude peeche se Harshit aur baki log corridor mai
dakhil huye par ek dusre ko nahi dekh paye.
"Chhhappp..." jaise hi unhone aage kadam badaya ek awaaj aayi.
"Yaha to pani bhara hua hai.." apne pairo ki taraf torch ki roshni
karte huye moni boli. Waha kareeb adha foot pani bhara hua tha.
"Chalte raho sab log.." pair kholkar aage badhte huye ankit bola.
Uski baat sunkar sab log uske sath aage badhne lage. Wo log ek
dusre se bilkul sat kar chal rahe the kyuki ab koi aur alag ho gaya to
usko dhoodna namumkin ho jayega. Us corridor ke bhi dono taraf kayi
kamre the.
"Harshhiitttt.... harshhhiittt...." unhone awaaj lagayi jo sannate ko
cheerti huyi goonji lekin koi response nahi aaya. Wo log isi tarah
kabhi harshit to kabhi aditya, pooja ya priya ko awaaj lagate huye
aage badhte rahe par koi jawab nahi aaya.
"Ye corridor to kafi lamba hai.. khatam hi nahi ho raha.." kuch der
baad Ankit ne kaha. Usne torch ki roshni samne karke dekhna chaha ki abhi aur kitna corridor baki hai lekin siway andhere ke use kuch
nahi dikha.
"Mujhe ab bhi yahi lag raha hai ki wo log yaha nahi aaye.." tara ne
phir wahi kaha.
"Didi... meko bahut jor se toilet aa rahi hai.." moni ne Tanu se
phusphusa kar kaha. Uski baat sunkar na chahte huye bhi itne tense
mahaul mai bhi Tanu ke chehre par ek halki si muskan aa gayi kyuki
moni ne ye baat aise andaz mai kahi thi mano koi bahut hi sharmnak
baat kahi ho jo kahi koi aur na sun le.
"Are ankit.. suno.. thoda ruk jate hai.." Tanu ne kaha aur phir tara ke
kaan mai phusphusate huye moni wali baat dauhrayi. Uski baat sunkar
Tara ne ek nazar torch ki roshni mai moni ko dekha jo kuch kasmasa
rahi thi. Use dekhkar Tara ankit se boli, "Tanisha sahi keh rahi hai..
yaha itne sare room hai.. kisi ek mai kuch der ke liye ruk jate hai.."
Un dono mai se kisi ne bhi moni wali bat nahi batayi halaki wo koi
chhupane wali ya koi bahut badi baat nahi thi lekin us bachhi ki komal
aur najuk bhawnaye wo todna nahi chahti thi.
"Hum aisa nahi kar sakte.. warna wo log bahut aage nikal jayenge.."
ankit ne kaha.
"Are jab ye log keh rahi hai.. tu ruk jate hai na bhai.. waise mujhe
bathroom laga tha to mai bhi rukne ki soch raha tha.." Avinash ne
peeche se moni ke kandho par hath rakhte huye kaha. kaha. Uski baat
sunkar moni aur Tanu dono hi samajh gaye ki avinash jhoot bol raha
hai aur usne unki baat sun li hai. Tanu ne ek bade hi pyare aur
apnepan wale tarike se avi ko dekha aur aankho hi aankho mai shukriya kaha.
"Are to thoda control kar le yaar.. wo log nikal gaye to faltu mai pareshani ho jayegi.." ankit ne phir usi baat ko dauhraya.
"Hospital se bahar to nahi nikal jayenge na.. 5 minute ruk jayenge to
koi aafat nahi aa jayegi.."tara ne thoda gussa dikhate huye kaha aur
phir khud hi thodi narmi ke sath boli, "Kuch der ki hi to baat hai.. ruk
jate hai na.."
"Chal theek hai.. par aise achanak se kya hua tum logo ko??" Ankitne
akhir haar mante huye poocha.
"Ye hamara aur moni ka secret hai tere ko kyu bataye.." Tara ne
gardan uchi karte huye jawab diya aur phir paas hi mojoud ek room
ka darwaja check karne lagi.
"Ye to locked hai.. chalo koi dusra dekhte hai.." darwaja na khulta
dekh tara aage badhi aur ankit ke paas se hote huye wo aage ek-ek
room ko check karne lagi par sare rooms locked the.
"Yaha to sare rooms locked hai.." kafi sare rooms ko check karne ke
baad tara boli. Baki logab uske peeche-peeche chal rahe the. Moni ne
tanu ka top kas kar pakda jisse tanu samajh gayi uske liye control
karna ab mushkil hai.
"Aage dekhte hai.. shayad koi khula ho.." tanu ne kaha aur phir aage
ek room ki taraf dekhte huye boli, "hey..hey waha wo room se light aa
rahi hai.. wo shayad khula hua hai.."
Sabne us taraf dekha to waha ek room ke darwaje ke neeche se
bahut halki roshni bahar aa rahi thi.
"Ab iske andar to kuch nahi hoga na..."
Sab jaldi se us room ke paas pahuche aur jaise hi tara ne uska knob
ghumaya 'katt' ki awaaj ke sath wo darwaja khul gaya.
"Upar jaye ya neeche?? Yaha to pairo ke nishan bhi nahi hai??"
Seediyo ke samne khadi pooja ne poocha. Jaha corridor dhool se
bhara hua tha wahi seediya bilkul saaf thi.
"Mera intution kehta hai wo log jarur neeche hi gaye honge..." harshit
bola.
"Bhaiya ye intution kya hota hai??" Daato ke beech ungli dabate huye
rahul ne poocha.
Uska sawal sunkar sab log hasne lage wahi rahul soch raha tha ki usne
aisa kya joke suna diya.
"Intution matlab mera man keh raha hai ki wo log neeche ki taraf
gaye honge.. upar jane ka to koi matlab banta dikh nahi raha mujhe.."
harshit ne uske sir par hath ferte huye kaha.
"Achha to intution matlab man hota hai.. hamari teacher ne abhi
hume ye padhaya nahi hai.." rahul ne kaha to is baar wo charo aur jor
se hasne lage. Rahul ko ab gussa aane laga tha ki sab uska mazak uda
rahe hai isliye wo muh fulakar wahi farsh par unki taraf peeth karke
baith gaya.
"Aap sab bahut gande ho.. sab mera mazak uda rahe hai.. mujh par
has rahe hai.. mai ab aap logo se kabhi baat nahi karunga..." rahul ne
ruansa hote huye kaha.
Uski baat sunkar sab log ekdum chup ho gaye. Unhone anjane mai hi
uske nazuk man ko chot pahuchayi thi.
Priya jhuki aur uska chehra apni taraf karte huye boli, "Sorry rahul...
hume maaf kar do... pleasssseeee..."
Jawab mai rahul ne na mai gardan hilayi aur wapis apna muh dusri
taraf kar liya.
"Please rahul... maaf kar do na..." pooja ne kaha par rahul ne phir na
mai gardan hila di aur isi ke sath wo halka-halka subakne bhi laga tha.
Use rota dekh unhe sach mai apni bhool ka ehsaas ho raha tha jo
anjane mai hi sahi par ab ho chuki thi. Rahul ki siskiya har beette pal
ke sath badhti ja rahi thi. Wo kisi keemat par manne ko taiyar nahi
tha. Tabhi aditya ko ek idea aaya. Usne sabke kaan mai kuch phusphusate huye kaha aur phir usse bola, "Rahul... hume maaf kar
do.. dekho hum sab kaan pakadkar mafi mangte hai.. please maaf kar
do.. aage se aisa kabhi nahi hoga... maaf kar do na..."
Rahul ne subakte huye apna chehra utha kar unki taraf dekha to sach
mai sabne apne kaan pakad rakhe the.
"Sorry rahul..." Wo charo ek sath bole.
"Promise.. aap log mujh par kabhi nahi hasoge.." apne ansoo pochte
huye usne poocha.
"Pakka promise..." charo phir ek sath bole.
"Phir theek hai.. sorry accepted..." khush hote huye rahul ne kaha to
un charo ke chehre par bhi muskan aa gayi.
"Lekin ye to hum tay kar hi nahi paye ki upar jaye ya neeche.." baat
khatam karne ki neeyat se priya boli.
"Kyu na do group bana le... aur dono taraf jaye.. jisko bhi wo log mil
jaye.. wo whistle baja dena.." aditya ne apna idea sunaya.
"Nahi.. ye to hum bilkul nahi karne wale.. alag to hum kisi haal mai
nahi honge.. jis bhi taraf jayenge, sath jayenge..." harshit ne ekdum bhadakte huye kaha.
"To phir tu hi bata kya kare.. yahi khade rahe?? Ya wapas 313 mai chalkar unka intezar kare??" Aditya ne bhi thoda chidte huye kaha.
"Aisa karte hai.. pehle ek baar upar dekh aate hai.. waha mil gaye to theek hai warna neeche dekh lenge.." pooja ne apna idea sunaya. Uski baat sabko jach gayi aur tay ho gaya ki wo sab log pehle 'upar' jayenge.

30. It Starts..
Update 30
"Ye roshni kaha se aa rahi thi??" kamre mai khade ankit ne hairani se
kaha, "Sabki aankhe ek sath dhokha kaise kha sakti hai??" Jis kamre
ke darwaje ke neeche se halki roshni aa rahi thi usme andar aane par
usne paya ki roshni ka ekmatra jariya un logo ki torches thi. Pani yaha
bhi bhara hua tha lekin bahar ke muqable yaha pani sirf 1-2 inch tak
hi tha.
"Is khel ka to koi bharosa hi nahi hai.. kab kya kar de..." Tara ne
kamre mai charo or torch ki roshni marte huye kaha. Wo kuch
dhoond rahi thi aur use akhir wo cheez ek badi si chair ke peeche mil
hi gayi. Wo lagbhag daudti huyi us taraf gayi par isse pehle ki wo
switches ko chuu pati kamre ki sabhi lights apne aap jal gayi. Hairani
se palak jhpapkate huye wo kabhi switches ko to kabhi kamre mai jal
rahi lights ko.
Light ki roshni mai unhone dekha ki ye ek doctor ka cabin tha. Kamra
jyada bada nahi tha par uski halat baki hospital ke muqable kafi achhi
thi. Itni achhi ki wo us hospital ka hissa lag hi nahi raha tha. Deewaro
ka paint aur plaster ab bhi apni jagah shaan se cjika hua tha. Laal
farsh bhi utna hi saaf tha jitna ek hospital ka hona chahiye tha
halaki geela tha. Yaha waha kahi koi makdi ka jaala ya dhool ka ek kad
bhi mojoud nahi tha. Kamre mai unke theek samne doctor ki table aur
chair rakhe the jinke pass tara khadi thi. Kamre mai dayi taraf ek patla sa check-up bed tha aur bayi taraf ek aur darwaja tha jis par 'Washroom' likha tha.
"Ye kamra.. ye..ye.. to bahut.."
"Badiya hai.." kamre mai har taraf nazre ghumate huye avinash ne ankit ki baat poori ki.
"Haaa... sahi kaha.. ye to is hospital ka hissa lagta hi nahi.." tanisha ne
kaha.
"Didiii...." tanisha ka hath kheechte huye moni ne kaha to tanu ko
yaad aaya ki wo yaha kyu aaye hai. Wo kuch bolne hi wali thi ki
avinash bol pada- "Wo raha samne washroom.. pehle kaun jayega??"
Jahir hai usne bhi moni ko hath kheechte dekh liya tha aur samajh
chuka tha ki wo kya chahti hai.
"Ladies First... Ladies First.. hum jayenge pehle..." avi ki baat sunte
hi moni itna jor se chillayi ki ek baar to sab dar gaye. Chillate huye
wo washroom tak gayi aur phir ruk gayi. Use akele andar jane se dar
lag raha tha isliye usne palatkar tanu aur Tara ko badi-badi aankho se
dekha.
"Mujhe bhi jana hai.. chalo moni dono sath chalte hai.." Tara ne uske
paas aate huye kaha.
Paas aakar usne door khola to pehle moni andar gayi aur phir tara.
Washroom bhi room ki tarah hi kafi saaf aur achhi halat mai tha.
"Ye bachhe bhi na.. jara jara si baato se pareshan ho jate hai.." unme
jate hi avinash thoda muskurate huye bola.
"Hmmm.. sahi kaha.." tanu ne kaha par ankit ki taraf se koi reaction nahi aaya. Wo ektak hawa mai dekh raha tha aur kuch soch raha tha.
Uske chehre par chinta saaf dekhi ja sakti thi.
"Kya soch raha hai bhai..." uske kandhe par hath rakhte huye avinash ne poocha.
Uske hath ka sparsh mehsoos hote hi wo hadbada gaya aur phir apni tone normal karte huye bola, "Kuch nahi.. bas wo.. wo us..paheli ke bare mai soch raha tha.."
"Omni-letter tere hi paas hai na.. jara dikha to.." uski baat sunkar
ankit ne apne trouser ki jebo mai us letter ko tatola aur nikalkar use
avinash ko diya.
Avinash ne us letter mai likhi lines ko ek-ek karke pada aur unka
matlab nikalne ki koshish karne laga.
"Ghis lo chahe jitna.. chamak meri kabhi nahi jati.. ye to saaf hai ki
koi chamakne wali cheez dhoodni hai.. jaise sona.. chandi.. ya aisa hi
kuch.." pehli do lines ka apne hisab se matlab nikalne ke baad wo aage
padhne laga, "Apno ki chot ke siwa.. koi chot mujhe nuksan nahi
pahuchati.. hmm..ye thoda kathin lag raha hai.. aisi konsi chamakne
wali cheez hai jise sirf uske apne hi chot pahucha sakte hai.. aur ye
'apno' se iska matlab kya hai.."
"Ye heera hai.." avi ki baat khatam hote hi tanu lagbhag uchalte huye
boli.
"Heera???" Khushi ke sath sath ascharya se avi ne kaha.
"Ha heera.. diamond.. yahi ek aisi cheez hai jise ghisne se iski chamak
nahi jati.. balki aur badh jati hai.. aur heere ko siway heere ke koi
nahi kaat sakta.. matlab iske apno ke siwa.. samjhe.." tanu ne
samjhaya.
"Brilliant tanu..." kehte huye avi ne ko kaskar gale laga liya jisse tanu
buri tarah sharma gayi aur jhenp gayi.
"Heera... sahi kaha tanu ne.. ye heera hi hai.. pichhle lagatar 2 season
mai to heera 3rd level par chhipaya gaya tha.." ankit ne ek pal sochne
ke baad kaha. Uski awaaj sunkar avi ne tanu ko chhod diya jo ab tak
usse chipka hua tha.
"Par hum use dhoode kaha.. ek minute.. paheli mai aage aur bhi kuch
tha na.." kuch palo ki khamoshi ko todte huye tanu boli. Bahar khade teeno logo mai se kisi ka bhi dhyan is baat par nahi gaya ki abhi-abhi
ek parchhayi jameen par lehrate huye bahar galiyare se us kamre mai
dakhil huyi hai aur bina kisi ko dikhayi diya ya koi awaaj kiye
washroom ke door ke neeche se fialti huyi andar ja chuki thi.
"M..mai aage padhta hu.." kehte huye avi ne wo letter dubara padhna
shuru kiya, "Sada rahunga mai bana.. likha hai kismat mai meri.. ye to
heere ki hi ek aur quality hai.. uski umra lakho-karodo saal hoti hai..
isse ye baat to saaf ho gayi ki ye heera hi hai.."
"Iske aage bhi to kuch tha.." tanu ne adheer hote huye kaha.
"Padh to raha hu.. umm.. dhoodo mujhe waha.. jaha se umeed bhi
wapas nahi aati.. ye..ye kauunsi jagah huyi.. jaha se umeed bhi wapas
nahi aati.." avi ne akhiri lines padte huye kaha aur phir letter wapas
ankit ko thama diya.
"Ye kaunsi jagah hai.. aur umeed se matlab kya hai iska.. ye to meri
samajh se bhi bahar hai.." sir khujate huye tara boli.
Dusri taraf washroom ka darwaja andar ki taraf se buri tarah
khatkhataya ja raha tha lekin bahar un teeno ko iski bhanak tak nahi
pad rahi thi. Andar se aati jordar cheekhein aur khatkhatane ki
awaaj bahar aane se pehle hi hawa mai gum ho jati thi.
"In dono ko kuch jyada hi der nahi ho gayi??" Kuch der baad ankit ne
kaha.
"Baaton ki vajah se lag raha hoga.. mere hisab se to abhi mushkil se
ek minute hua hoga.." avi ne befikri se kaha.
"Nahi ye sahi keh raha hai avi.. un dono ko andar gaye huye shayad 5
minute se bhi jyada samay ho chuka hai.. aur maine andar se aati ek
bhi awaaj ab tak nahi suni hai.
Wahi washroom se aati awaje ab shant ho chuki thi aur ab darwaje
ke neeche se khoon ki ek badi matra behkar aa rahi thi aur farsh par mojoud pani ke sath ghul-mil rahi thi. Chooki farsh pehle bhi laal hi
tha to kisi ko bhi malum nahi chala aur khoon yuhi darwaje ke neeche
se behta hua pani se milta raha.
"Ye sahi keh rahi hai.. maine bhi abhi tak ek bhi awaaj andar se aati
nahi suni hai.." uski baat ka samarthan karte huye ankit bola.
"Are tum log to faltu mai tension le rahe ho.. ruko abhi unko awaaj
lagata hu.. abhi sab malum pad jayega.. moniiiiii...." kehte huye avi ne
awaaj lagayi lekin andar se koi awaaj nahi aayi. Ye khamoshi unka dum
ghont rahi thi isliye avi ne kuch palo ki khamoshi ke baad phir se
awaaj lagayi, "Moni... bachha.. theek to hai na.." Ghabrahat ab uski
awaaj mai bhi saaf jhalak rahi thi. Wo teeno ab washroom ke paas aa
chuke the.
"Haaa.." ek bahut hi dheemi aur sarsarati par nischit roop se moni ki
hi awaaj aayi.
"Tu theek hai na bachha?? Aur teri awaaj ko kya hua?? Didi bhi
theek hai na??" Uski awaaj sunkar avi ne aage poocha.
"Theek hai?? Hahhahaha....." waisi hi dheemi aur sarsarati awaaj unhe
sunayi di. Ye hasi unhe andar tak kapa gayi kyuki iska saf matlab tha
ki kuch bhi theek nahi hai. Upar se haste huye ye awaaj itni darawani
lag rahi thi aur unke dimag mai hathode ki tarah baj rahi thi.
"Khooon!!!!" Achanak tanu chillayi jise sunkar wo dono uchal pade.
Unhone neeche dekha to unhe wo pani par tairta khoon dikh gaya jo
abhi bhi darwaje ke neeche se nikal raha tha aur jiske karan darwaje
ka nichla hissa bhi laal ho gaya tha.
"Tanu peeche hato.." ankit ne turant faisla le liya aur phir aankho hi
aankho mai avi ko bhi wo faisla suna diya. Dono kuch kadam peeche
huye aur ek sath us darwaje ko apne kandho se dhakka diya. 3-4 baar koshish karne ke baad akhir us darwaje ka lock toot hi gaya aur wo log andar pahuch gaye.
"Aaaahhhhh..." andar pahuchte hi tanu ki ek jordar cheekh nikal gayi.
Waha khoon se labalab farsh par Tara behosh padi huyi thi aur moni usi ke paas khadi huyi thi. Tara ka poora daya hath uske sharir se ukhad kar alag ho chuka tha jise is waqt moni apne muh mai dabaye khadi huyi has rahi thi. Unke aate hi moni ke sharir se ek parchhayi jaisi cheez bahar nikli aur hawa mai tairti huyi gayab ho gayi. Us cheez ke nikalte hi moni ke muh se wo hath chhut gaya aur wo bhi behosh hokar gir padi.

Update 30
"Ye roshni kaha se aa rahi thi??" kamre mai khade ankit ne hairani se
kaha, "Sabki aankhe ek sath dhokha kaise kha sakti hai??" Jis kamre
ke darwaje ke neeche se halki roshni aa rahi thi usme andar aane par
usne paya ki roshni ka ekmatra jariya un logo ki torches thi. Pani yaha
bhi bhara hua tha lekin bahar ke muqable yaha pani sirf 1-2 inch tak
hi tha.
"Is khel ka to koi bharosa hi nahi hai.. kab kya kar de..." Tara ne
kamre mai charo or torch ki roshni marte huye kaha. Wo kuch
dhoond rahi thi aur use akhir wo cheez ek badi si chair ke peeche mil
hi gayi. Wo lagbhag daudti huyi us taraf gayi par isse pehle ki wo
switches ko chuu pati kamre ki sabhi lights apne aap jal gayi. Hairani
se palak jhpapkate huye wo kabhi switches ko to kabhi kamre mai jal
rahi lights ko.
Light ki roshni mai unhone dekha ki ye ek doctor ka cabin tha. Kamra
jyada bada nahi tha par uski halat baki hospital ke muqable kafi achhi
thi. Itni achhi ki wo us hospital ka hissa lag hi nahi raha tha. Deewaro
ka paint aur plaster ab bhi apni jagah shaan se cjika hua tha. Laal
farsh bhi utna hi saaf tha jitna ek hospital ka hona chahiye tha
halaki geela tha. Yaha waha kahi koi makdi ka jaala ya dhool ka ek kad
bhi mojoud nahi tha. Kamre mai unke theek samne doctor ki table aur
chair rakhe the jinke pass tara khadi thi. Kamre mai dayi taraf ek patla sa check-up bed tha aur bayi taraf ek aur darwaja tha jis par 'Washroom' likha tha.
"Ye kamra.. ye..ye.. to bahut.."
"Badiya hai.." kamre mai har taraf nazre ghumate huye avinash ne ankit ki baat poori ki.
"Haaa... sahi kaha.. ye to is hospital ka hissa lagta hi nahi.." tanisha ne
kaha.
"Didiii...." tanisha ka hath kheechte huye moni ne kaha to tanu ko
yaad aaya ki wo yaha kyu aaye hai. Wo kuch bolne hi wali thi ki
avinash bol pada- "Wo raha samne washroom.. pehle kaun jayega??"
Jahir hai usne bhi moni ko hath kheechte dekh liya tha aur samajh
chuka tha ki wo kya chahti hai.
"Ladies First... Ladies First.. hum jayenge pehle..." avi ki baat sunte
hi moni itna jor se chillayi ki ek baar to sab dar gaye. Chillate huye
wo washroom tak gayi aur phir ruk gayi. Use akele andar jane se dar
lag raha tha isliye usne palatkar tanu aur Tara ko badi-badi aankho se
dekha.
"Mujhe bhi jana hai.. chalo moni dono sath chalte hai.." Tara ne uske
paas aate huye kaha.
Paas aakar usne door khola to pehle moni andar gayi aur phir tara.
Washroom bhi room ki tarah hi kafi saaf aur achhi halat mai tha.
"Ye bachhe bhi na.. jara jara si baato se pareshan ho jate hai.." unme
jate hi avinash thoda muskurate huye bola.
"Hmmm.. sahi kaha.." tanu ne kaha par ankit ki taraf se koi reaction nahi aaya. Wo ektak hawa mai dekh raha tha aur kuch soch raha tha.
Uske chehre par chinta saaf dekhi ja sakti thi.
"Kya soch raha hai bhai..." uske kandhe par hath rakhte huye avinash ne poocha.
Uske hath ka sparsh mehsoos hote hi wo hadbada gaya aur phir apni tone normal karte huye bola, "Kuch nahi.. bas wo.. wo us..paheli ke bare mai soch raha tha.."
"Omni-letter tere hi paas hai na.. jara dikha to.." uski baat sunkar
ankit ne apne trouser ki jebo mai us letter ko tatola aur nikalkar use
avinash ko diya.
Avinash ne us letter mai likhi lines ko ek-ek karke pada aur unka
matlab nikalne ki koshish karne laga.
"Ghis lo chahe jitna.. chamak meri kabhi nahi jati.. ye to saaf hai ki
koi chamakne wali cheez dhoodni hai.. jaise sona.. chandi.. ya aisa hi
kuch.." pehli do lines ka apne hisab se matlab nikalne ke baad wo aage
padhne laga, "Apno ki chot ke siwa.. koi chot mujhe nuksan nahi
pahuchati.. hmm..ye thoda kathin lag raha hai.. aisi konsi chamakne
wali cheez hai jise sirf uske apne hi chot pahucha sakte hai.. aur ye
'apno' se iska matlab kya hai.."
"Ye heera hai.." avi ki baat khatam hote hi tanu lagbhag uchalte huye
boli.
"Heera???" Khushi ke sath sath ascharya se avi ne kaha.
"Ha heera.. diamond.. yahi ek aisi cheez hai jise ghisne se iski chamak
nahi jati.. balki aur badh jati hai.. aur heere ko siway heere ke koi
nahi kaat sakta.. matlab iske apno ke siwa.. samjhe.." tanu ne
samjhaya.
"Brilliant tanu..." kehte huye avi ne ko kaskar gale laga liya jisse tanu
buri tarah sharma gayi aur jhenp gayi.
"Heera... sahi kaha tanu ne.. ye heera hi hai.. pichhle lagatar 2 season
mai to heera 3rd level par chhipaya gaya tha.." ankit ne ek pal sochne
ke baad kaha. Uski awaaj sunkar avi ne tanu ko chhod diya jo ab tak
usse chipka hua tha.
"Par hum use dhoode kaha.. ek minute.. paheli mai aage aur bhi kuch
tha na.." kuch palo ki khamoshi ko todte huye tanu boli. Bahar khade teeno logo mai se kisi ka bhi dhyan is baat par nahi gaya ki abhi-abhi
ek parchhayi jameen par lehrate huye bahar galiyare se us kamre mai
dakhil huyi hai aur bina kisi ko dikhayi diya ya koi awaaj kiye
washroom ke door ke neeche se fialti huyi andar ja chuki thi.
"M..mai aage padhta hu.." kehte huye avi ne wo letter dubara padhna
shuru kiya, "Sada rahunga mai bana.. likha hai kismat mai meri.. ye to
heere ki hi ek aur quality hai.. uski umra lakho-karodo saal hoti hai..
isse ye baat to saaf ho gayi ki ye heera hi hai.."
"Iske aage bhi to kuch tha.." tanu ne adheer hote huye kaha.
"Padh to raha hu.. umm.. dhoodo mujhe waha.. jaha se umeed bhi
wapas nahi aati.. ye..ye kauunsi jagah huyi.. jaha se umeed bhi wapas
nahi aati.." avi ne akhiri lines padte huye kaha aur phir letter wapas
ankit ko thama diya.
"Ye kaunsi jagah hai.. aur umeed se matlab kya hai iska.. ye to meri
samajh se bhi bahar hai.." sir khujate huye tara boli.
Dusri taraf washroom ka darwaja andar ki taraf se buri tarah
khatkhataya ja raha tha lekin bahar un teeno ko iski bhanak tak nahi
pad rahi thi. Andar se aati jordar cheekhein aur khatkhatane ki
awaaj bahar aane se pehle hi hawa mai gum ho jati thi.
"In dono ko kuch jyada hi der nahi ho gayi??" Kuch der baad ankit ne
kaha.
"Baaton ki vajah se lag raha hoga.. mere hisab se to abhi mushkil se
ek minute hua hoga.." avi ne befikri se kaha.
"Nahi ye sahi keh raha hai avi.. un dono ko andar gaye huye shayad 5
minute se bhi jyada samay ho chuka hai.. aur maine andar se aati ek
bhi awaaj ab tak nahi suni hai.
Wahi washroom se aati awaje ab shant ho chuki thi aur ab darwaje
ke neeche se khoon ki ek badi matra behkar aa rahi thi aur farsh par mojoud pani ke sath ghul-mil rahi thi. Chooki farsh pehle bhi laal hi
tha to kisi ko bhi malum nahi chala aur khoon yuhi darwaje ke neeche
se behta hua pani se milta raha.
"Ye sahi keh rahi hai.. maine bhi abhi tak ek bhi awaaj andar se aati
nahi suni hai.." uski baat ka samarthan karte huye ankit bola.
"Are tum log to faltu mai tension le rahe ho.. ruko abhi unko awaaj
lagata hu.. abhi sab malum pad jayega.. moniiiiii...." kehte huye avi ne
awaaj lagayi lekin andar se koi awaaj nahi aayi. Ye khamoshi unka dum
ghont rahi thi isliye avi ne kuch palo ki khamoshi ke baad phir se
awaaj lagayi, "Moni... bachha.. theek to hai na.." Ghabrahat ab uski
awaaj mai bhi saaf jhalak rahi thi. Wo teeno ab washroom ke paas aa
chuke the.
"Haaa.." ek bahut hi dheemi aur sarsarati par nischit roop se moni ki
hi awaaj aayi.
"Tu theek hai na bachha?? Aur teri awaaj ko kya hua?? Didi bhi
theek hai na??" Uski awaaj sunkar avi ne aage poocha.
"Theek hai?? Hahhahaha....." waisi hi dheemi aur sarsarati awaaj unhe
sunayi di. Ye hasi unhe andar tak kapa gayi kyuki iska saf matlab tha
ki kuch bhi theek nahi hai. Upar se haste huye ye awaaj itni darawani
lag rahi thi aur unke dimag mai hathode ki tarah baj rahi thi.
"Khooon!!!!" Achanak tanu chillayi jise sunkar wo dono uchal pade.
Unhone neeche dekha to unhe wo pani par tairta khoon dikh gaya jo
abhi bhi darwaje ke neeche se nikal raha tha aur jiske karan darwaje
ka nichla hissa bhi laal ho gaya tha.
"Tanu peeche hato.." ankit ne turant faisla le liya aur phir aankho hi
aankho mai avi ko bhi wo faisla suna diya. Dono kuch kadam peeche
huye aur ek sath us darwaje ko apne kandho se dhakka diya. 3-4 baar koshish karne ke baad akhir us darwaje ka lock toot hi gaya aur wo log andar pahuch gaye.
"Aaaahhhhh..." andar pahuchte hi tanu ki ek jordar cheekh nikal gayi.
Waha khoon se labalab farsh par Tara behosh padi huyi thi aur moni usi ke paas khadi huyi thi. Tara ka poora daya hath uske sharir se ukhad kar alag ho chuka tha jise is waqt moni apne muh mai dabaye khadi huyi has rahi thi. Unke aate hi moni ke sharir se ek parchhayi jaisi cheez bahar nikli aur hawa mai tairti huyi gayab ho gayi. Us cheez ke nikalte hi moni ke muh se wo hath chhut gaya aur wo bhi behosh hokar gir padi.

31. Ohh... Noo....
Update 31
Washroom Mai Thodi Der Pehle:
Washroom kafi chhota tha jisme darwaje ke theek samne ek camode
tha aur usi ke paas ek washbasin tha. Poore washroom mai safed tiles
lagi thi par farsh bahar ki tarah laal hi tha.
"Didi.. aap dusri taraf dekho na.." moni ne tara se vinti bhari masum
awaaj mai kaha.
"Theek hai baba.. tu bhi na.. bahut naatak karti hai sachhi mai.." tara ne pehle to halke se uske sir par chapat mari aur phir uski taraf peeth karke khadi ho gayi.
"Aise nahi didi.. aankhe bhi band karo.. aur kaan bhi.." moni ne phir waisi hi awaaj mai usse kaha.
"Dekh moni.. ab jyada ho raha hai.. maine peeth kar to li teri taraf.. ab isse aage mai kuch nahi karne wali.. samjhi.." tara ne palatkar awaaj thodi uchi karte huye kaha. Moni ki ye bachkani jidein ab usse gussa dilane lagi thi.
"Didi please kar do na.. please.." apni awaaj mai aur chashni gholte
huye moni boli.
"Na bola na.. aur ab jaldi kar.. bahar sab log intezar kar rahe hai
hamara.. chal jaldi kar.." apni awaaj mai thoda aur gussa dalte huye
aur ani ungli us par taante huye tara ne kaha.
Tara ko itne gusse mai dekh moni bilkul seham gayi. Usne aisi bhi koi
baat nahi kahi thi ki Tara usko is tarah daat de. Uski aankhe dabdaba
rahi thi aur aisa lag raha tha ki wo kisi bhi pal dahadein maarkar rona
shuru kar degi. Pehle to tara use gusse se ghoorti rahi par jaise-jaise
uska chehra aur jyada ruansa hota ja raha tha waise-waise tara ka
gussa bhi pighalta ja raha tha aur uska tana hua hath neeche hota ja
raha tha. Use ab apni galti ka ehsaas ho raha tha ki use moni ko is
tarah nahi daatna chahiye tha.
"Achha achha.. ro mat.. mai kar leti hu aaankh band.." moni bas rone
hi wali thi ki tara ghabrakar boli. Use laga agar moni ke rone ki awaaj
agar bahar chali gayi to sab log sochenge ki wo use maar rahi hai. Par
use kya malum tha ki agar wo dono milkar gala fadkar bhi chillaye tab
bhi bahat kisi ko kuch sunayi nahi dega.
"Aur kaan bhi..." apni aankho pe chalak aayi boondo ko pochte huye
moni masumiyat se boli.
"Kaan naak aankh sab band kar lungi.. bas tu ro mat..." apne dono
kaano par hath rakhte huye tara palatkar boli, "Sheeeshhhh... ye
bachhe bhi na.. kitna natak karte hai.."
Moni ki taraf halaki ab uski peeth thi aur moni nahi dekh sakti thi
lekin phir bhi usne apni aankhe bhi meech rakhi thi. Wo kisi bhi
prakaar ka 'risk' nahi lena chahti thi.
Jab moni ko is baat ka pakka yakeen ho gaya ki tara ab kuch nahi
dekh sakti ya sun sakti tab wo camode ki taraf mudi. Yahi wo pal tha
jab wo 'parchhayi' washroom ke darwaje ke neeche se phisalti huyi
andar aayi aur tara ke pairo ke neeche se hoti huyi moni mai ja
samayi.
Kaan par hath rakh lene se kaan poori tarah band thode hi ho jate hai
aur jab agle do minute tak koi awaaj nahi aayi to tara ne band aankho
se hi poocha, "Moni..... ho gaya kya??"
Par moni ki taraf se koi jawab nahi aaya.
"Moni... hua ki....-" tara ne peeche palatte huye kaha par apni baat
poori nahi kar payi kyuki samne mojoud nazare ne uski bolti band kar
di thi. Waha moni washbasin ke upar ukdu baithi huyi thi aur baithibaithi hil rahi thi. Uske baal uske chhote se chehre par aage ki taraf
aa gaye the jis karan uska poora chehra dhak gaya tha. Wo neeche
kuch dekh rahi thi jis karan bhi uska chehra nahi dikh raha tha.
Washbasin ki uchayi farsh se kareeb 2.5 foot thi jabki moni khud hi
4 foot se jyada nahi thi to wo us par chadi kaise?? Aur usse bhi
azeeb baat ye ki chadi hi kyu?? Aise hi kuch sawal teji se tara ke
man mai umadte ja rahe the.
"M...m..moni k..kya hua t..tujhe??" Ladkhadati awaaj mai tara ne
poocha. Jawab mai phir wahi khamoshi chhayi rahi. Aisa laga jaise
moni ne kuch suna hi na ho. Ye chuppi tara ko aur jyada dara rahi thi.
Aur ab tak ke is show ke experience se wo itna to samajh chuki thi ki
kuch to gadbad hai isliye usne baki logo ko bula lena jyada behtar
samjha.
"A..ankit....." uske gale se ek mari huyi awaaj nikli jo bahar ankit to
kya khud use mushkil se sunayi di. Gala saaf karke usne ek baar phir awaaj lagayi jo pehle ke muqable kafi behtar thi par itni bhi nahi ki bahar kisi ko sunayi de jaye.
"Ankitttttt..." is baar wo poori taqat se chillayi par ye washroom to
jaise thaan chuka tha ki uski awaaj is darwaje ke bahar nahi jayegi.
Bahar se to koi response nahi aaya par is awaaj ne moni ka dhyan
jarur akarshit kar liya tha. Jaise hi usne sir uthakar tara ki taraf
dekha Tara ki cheekh nikal gayi aur wo peeth ke bal darwaje se ja
bhidi. Moni ka chehra bilkul safed pad chuka tha yaha tak ki hoth bhi
aur aankhe ekdum kaali. Uski aankhe itni kaali ho chuki thi ki uski
putliya bhi nahi dikh rahi thi.
"Didi.. chilla kyu rahi ho?? Aapko dar lag raha hai kya??" Ek behad
thandi aur sarsarati si awaaj mai moni boli jise sunte hi Tara samajh
gayi ki ye moni nahi hai.
"K..k.kaun ho t..tum??" Haklate huye tara ne poocha.
"Mai hu didi.. moni.. jise aap abhi daat rahi thi.. aap mujhe kyu daat
rahi thi didi??" Waisi hi sarsarati awaaj mai moni boli jiske sath hi
uske ansoo bhi girne lage. Par ye ansoo bhi uski aankho ki tarah
ekdum kaale the jisse uske dono aate jaise safed gaalo par kale rang
ki rekhayein khich gayi.
"M..m..mujhe maaf kar de moni.. m..mujhse g..galti ho gayi.." sthiti ki
nazukta ko bhapte huye tara ab ruansi ho chali thi.
"Galti..." achanak moni ki awaaj mai wapas bachho jaisa chulbulapan aa
gaya par dushta se bhara chulbulapan. "Galti ki to saza milni
chahiye.."
Itna kehkar moni washbasin se farsh par kood gayi. Koodte hi wo
farsh par aise dher hokar gir padi mano uske pairo mai ratti bhar bhi
jaan na ho. Usne apna sir uthaya to tara ne dekha chehre ke bal girne
ke karan moni ki naak se khoon behkar uske safed hotho tak aa raha
tha. Par uske chehre par dard ki shikan ke bajaye ek kutil muskan
thi. Usne hatho ke bal apne jism ko uthaya aur phir kisi dudhmuhe bachhe ki tarah pet ke bal ghisatte huye tara ki taraf badh rahi thi.
"Ankitttt... ankittt.. bachaoooo..... please koi bachaoo..." darwaje ko
buri tarah peette huye tara chillayi. Par bahar tak pahuchne se pehle
hi uski awaaj hawa mai hi lupt ho ja rahi thi.
"Koi nahi aayega bachane... tujhe mujhe daatna nahi chahiye tha..
tujhe payal se shart bhi nahi lagani chahiye thi.. ab tu maregi.." uski
taraf ghisatte huye moni boli. Yeh sunte hi tara ki awaaj uske gale
mai atak gayi aur hath apne aap hawa mai hi ruk gaye. Moni yeh baat
kaise jaan sakti hai kyuki ye baat to sirf wo, payal ya ankit hi jante
the.
Tara ne darte-darte peeche palatkar dekha to paya ki moni ab waha
nahi thi. Poora washroom khali tha.
"Ye kaha chali gayi??" Dehshat se tara cheekhte huye boli aur jaise
hi darwaje ki taraf wapas mudi use uske sawal ka jawab mil gaya.
Moni ascharyachakit roop se darwaje ke handle par khadi thi. Handle
itna bada ya majboot nahi tha ki koi us par khada ho jaye lekin moni
bahut hi araam se khadi thi. Darwaje aur tara ke beech mushkil se
adha foot ka antar hoga aur is samay tara ke chehre se bas ek inch
door moni ki safed pad chuki taangein thi kyuki handle par khadi hone
ke karan ab wo tara se bhi uchi ho gayi thi.
Tara isse pehle ki samhal pati ya ek inch bhi peeche sarak pati moni
furti se uske upar kood padi aur use neeche gira liya. Sir farsh se
takrate hi tara ka bheja chakrane laga aur wo behosh ho gayi. Wo
tara ke upar jhuki huyi thi aur phir achanak wo khadi huyi aur poori
taqat ke sath tara ke daye hath par koodi. Ek sath kayi haddiyo ke
chatakne ki awaaj aayi jisse tara behoshi ki halat se bahar aa gayi
aur ek tej dard bhari cheekh poore washroom mai goonj uthi.
Par moni ko isse bhi kaha santushti milne wali thi. Wo 4-5 aur tara ke
daye hath par koodi aur paglo ki tarah haste huye tab tak koodti rahi jab tak uske hath ki sari haddiya chhote-chhote tukdo mai na bikhar
gayi. Dard ki teevrta itni jyada thi ki tara bahut pehle hi phir se
gehri behoshi ke aalam mai sama chuki thi.
Thodi der baad moni ruki aur phir iske man mai na jane kya aaya ki usne apna ek pair tara ke daye kandhe par rakha aur phir us toote hath ko aise kheechne lagi jaise wo koi rubber ka tukda ho. Uski vehshiyana taqato ke bal par usne wo hath agle hi pal uske shareer se ukhad liya. Khoon ka fawwara chhut pada jo uske kandhe se nikalta hua us laal farsh ko aur laal kar raha tha par is baar tara ne koi pratikriya nahi di kyuki wo to pehle hi dard ke karan gehri behoshi mai sama chuki thi.... shayad kabhi na uthne ke liye.
"Ab tu kabhi kisi ko ungli nahi dikha payegi... hahaha..."
Idhar bahar se avinash ne moni ko awaaj lagayi jise usne ansuna kar diya. Apne hatho mai daboche khadi tara ke lachakte hath ko usne ek pal ghoora tabhi avinash phir se awaaj lagayi jiska jawab usne apni kutil hasi ke sath 'haa' mai diya. Kamal ki baat ye thi ki ab uski awaaj bilkul saaf-saaf bahar ja rahi thi par jo awaaj bahar pahuchi usne sabko hila diya tha.
"Tu theek hai na bachha?? Aur teri awaaj ko kya hua?? Didi bhi theek hai na??" Uski awaaj sunkar avi ne aage poocha jiska jawab moni ne apni vehshi awaaj ke sath dete huye tara ke ukhde hath ki usi ungli ko muh mai dalkar chabane lagi jo tara ne us par taani thi.

"Aise nahi didi.. aankhe bhi band karo.. aur kaan bhi.." moni ne phir waisi hi awaaj mai usse kaha.
"Dekh moni.. ab jyada ho raha hai.. maine peeth kar to li teri taraf.. ab isse aage mai kuch nahi karne wali.. samjhi.." tara ne palatkar awaaj thodi uchi karte huye kaha. Moni ki ye bachkani jidein ab usse gussa dilane lagi thi.

"Aur kaan bhi..." apni aankho pe chalak aayi boondo ko pochte huye

"Kaan naak aankh sab band kar lungi.. bas tu ro mat..." apne dono

bachhe bhi na.. kitna natak karte hai.."
Moni ki taraf halaki ab uski peeth thi aur moni nahi dekh sakti thi
lekin phir bhi usne apni aankhe bhi meech rakhi thi. Wo kisi bhi
prakaar ka 'risk' nahi lena chahti thi.
Jab moni ko is baat ka pakka yakeen ho gaya ki tara ab kuch nahi
dekh sakti ya sun sakti tab wo camode ki taraf mudi. Yahi wo pal tha
jab wo 'parchhayi' washroom ke darwaje ke neeche se phisalti huyi
andar aayi aur tara ke pairo ke neeche se hoti huyi moni mai ja

Kaan par hath rakh lene se kaan poori tarah band thode hi ho jate hai
aur jab agle do minute tak koi awaaj nahi aayi to tara ne band aankho
se hi poocha, "Moni..... ho gaya kya??"
Par moni ki taraf se koi jawab nahi aaya.
"Moni... hua ki....-" tara ne peeche palatte huye kaha par apni baat
poori nahi kar payi kyuki samne mojoud nazare ne uski bolti band kar

aa gaye the jis karan uska poora chehra dhak gaya tha. Wo neeche

"M...m..moni k..kya hua t..tujhe??" Ladkhadati awaaj mai tara ne
poocha. Jawab mai phir wahi khamoshi chhayi rahi. Aisa laga jaise
moni ne kuch suna hi na ho. Ye chuppi tara ko aur jyada dara rahi thi.
Aur ab tak ke is show ke experience se wo itna to samajh chuki thi ki
kuch to gadbad hai isliye usne baki logo ko bula lena jyada behtar
samjha.
"A..ankit....." uske gale se ek mari huyi awaaj nikli jo bahar ankit to
kya khud use mushkil se sunayi di. Gala saaf karke usne ek baar phir awaaj lagayi jo pehle ke muqable kafi behtar thi par itni bhi nahi ki bahar kisi ko sunayi de jaye.
"Ankitttttt..." is baar wo poori taqat se chillayi par ye washroom to

"Didi.. chilla kyu rahi ho?? Aapko dar lag raha hai kya??" Ek behad
thandi aur sarsarati si awaaj mai moni boli jise sunte hi Tara samajh
gayi ki ye moni nahi hai.
"K..k.kaun ho t..tum??" Haklate huye tara ne poocha.
"Mai hu didi.. moni.. jise aap abhi daat rahi thi.. aap mujhe kyu daat
rahi thi didi??" Waisi hi sarsarati awaaj mai moni boli jiske sath hi
uske ansoo bhi girne lage. Par ye ansoo bhi uski aankho ki tarah
ekdum kaale the jisse uske dono aate jaise safed gaalo par kale rang
ki rekhayein khich gayi.
"M..m..mujhe maaf kar de moni.. m..mujhse g..galti ho gayi.." sthiti ki
nazukta ko bhapte huye tara ab ruansi ho chali thi.
"Galti..." achanak moni ki awaaj mai wapas bachho jaisa chulbulapan aa
gaya par dushta se bhara chulbulapan. "Galti ki to saza milni
chahiye.."
Itna kehkar moni washbasin se farsh par kood gayi. Koodte hi wo
farsh par aise dher hokar gir padi mano uske pairo mai ratti bhar bhi
jaan na ho. Usne apna sir uthaya to tara ne dekha chehre ke bal girne
ke karan moni ki naak se khoon behkar uske safed hotho tak aa raha
tha. Par uske chehre par dard ki shikan ke bajaye ek kutil muskan
thi. Usne hatho ke bal apne jism ko uthaya aur phir kisi dudhmuhe bachhe ki tarah pet ke bal ghisatte huye tara ki taraf badh rahi thi.
"Ankitttt... ankittt.. bachaoooo..... please koi bachaoo..." darwaje ko
buri tarah peette huye tara chillayi. Par bahar tak pahuchne se pehle
hi uski awaaj hawa mai hi lupt ho ja rahi thi.
"Koi nahi aayega bachane... tujhe mujhe daatna nahi chahiye tha..
tujhe payal se shart bhi nahi lagani chahiye thi.. ab tu maregi.." uski
taraf ghisatte huye moni boli. Yeh sunte hi tara ki awaaj uske gale
mai atak gayi aur hath apne aap hawa mai hi ruk gaye. Moni yeh baat
kaise jaan sakti hai kyuki ye baat to sirf wo, payal ya ankit hi jante
the.
Tara ne darte-darte peeche palatkar dekha to paya ki moni ab waha
nahi thi. Poora washroom khali tha.
"Ye kaha chali gayi??" Dehshat se tara cheekhte huye boli aur jaise
hi darwaje ki taraf wapas mudi use uske sawal ka jawab mil gaya.
Moni ascharyachakit roop se darwaje ke handle par khadi thi. Handle
itna bada ya majboot nahi tha ki koi us par khada ho jaye lekin moni
bahut hi araam se khadi thi. Darwaje aur tara ke beech mushkil se
adha foot ka antar hoga aur is samay tara ke chehre se bas ek inch
door moni ki safed pad chuki taangein thi kyuki handle par khadi hone
ke karan ab wo tara se bhi uchi ho gayi thi.
Tara isse pehle ki samhal pati ya ek inch bhi peeche sarak pati moni
furti se uske upar kood padi aur use neeche gira liya. Sir farsh se
takrate hi tara ka bheja chakrane laga aur wo behosh ho gayi. Wo
tara ke upar jhuki huyi thi aur phir achanak wo khadi huyi aur poori
taqat ke sath tara ke daye hath par koodi. Ek sath kayi haddiyo ke
chatakne ki awaaj aayi jisse tara behoshi ki halat se bahar aa gayi
aur ek tej dard bhari cheekh poore washroom mai goonj uthi.
Par moni ko isse bhi kaha santushti milne wali thi. Wo 4-5 aur tara ke
daye hath par koodi aur paglo ki tarah haste huye tab tak koodti rahi jab tak uske hath ki sari haddiya chhote-chhote tukdo mai na bikhar
gayi. Dard ki teevrta itni jyada thi ki tara bahut pehle hi phir se
gehri behoshi ke aalam mai sama chuki thi.
Thodi der baad moni ruki aur phir iske man mai na jane kya aaya ki usne apna ek pair tara ke daye kandhe par rakha aur phir us toote hath ko aise kheechne lagi jaise wo koi rubber ka tukda ho. Uski vehshiyana taqato ke bal par usne wo hath agle hi pal uske shareer se ukhad liya. Khoon ka fawwara chhut pada jo uske kandhe se nikalta hua us laal farsh ko aur laal kar raha tha par is baar tara ne koi pratikriya nahi di kyuki wo to pehle hi dard ke karan gehri behoshi mai sama chuki thi.... shayad kabhi na uthne ke liye.
"Ab tu kabhi kisi ko ungli nahi dikha payegi... hahaha..."
Idhar bahar se avinash ne moni ko awaaj lagayi jise usne ansuna kar diya. Apne hatho mai daboche khadi tara ke lachakte hath ko usne ek pal ghoora tabhi avinash phir se awaaj lagayi jiska jawab usne apni kutil hasi ke sath 'haa' mai diya. Kamal ki baat ye thi ki ab uski awaaj bilkul saaf-saaf bahar ja rahi thi par jo awaaj bahar pahuchi usne sabko hila diya tha.
"Tu theek hai na bachha?? Aur teri awaaj ko kya hua?? Didi bhi theek hai na??" Uski awaaj sunkar avi ne aage poocha jiska jawab moni ne apni vehshi awaaj ke sath dete huye tara ke ukhde hath ki usi ungli ko muh mai dalkar chabane lagi jo tara ne us par taani thi.

32. Aftermath
Update 32
"Dhakkkk..." ki tej awaaj ke sath washroom ka darwaja khulkar alag
ho gaya aur jaise hi andar ka nazara dikha waha khade logo ke pairo
tale jameen khisak gayi.
"Aaaaaaahhhhh...." ek lambi cheekh tanu ke gale se nikli aur wo
turant darwaje par hi behosh hokar gir padi.
"Taraaaaaaa..." ek lambi cheekh ankit ke muh se nikli jiske sath hi wo
daudta hua tara ke paas aaya aur uske sahi-salamat hath se uski nabz
check karne laga. Koi halchal na pakar wo ekdum stabdh ho gaya aur
jameen par peeche aise khiska jaise bijli ka nanga taar chhu liya ho.
Khisakte huye wo wapas gate tak aaya aur wahi baith gaya. Ansoo
barbas bas bahe ja rahe the. Us ek cheekh ke baad uski awaaj uska
sath chhod chuki thi.
Tara aur moni ki ye halat dekhkar agar is waqt bhi koi hoshohawas
mai tha to wo sirf avinash tha. Moni ne sir uthakar un teeno ko ek
nazar dekha to avinash ki kapkapi chhut gayi. Uski shatani kali aankho
ne use ye ehsaas dilane mai ek second ka bhi samay nahi lagaya ki ye
moni nahi hai aur yaha jo kuch bhi hua hai wo isi ne kiya hai. Lekin
aisa laga jaise us 'chhaya' ko in teeno ka waha aana pasand nahi aaya
isliye isse pehle ki avinash ek kadam bhi aage badhata ek kale dhuye
ke badal ke roop mai wo parchayi moni ke shareer mai se nikli aur
hawa mai gayab ho gayi.
Us chhaya ke nikalte hi moni ek bejaan jism ki tarah lehrayi aur
behosh hokar farsh par gir padi. Tara ka hath uske muh se chhut kar
uske paas hi pada tha aur jis mude-tude tarike se wo pada tha usse
yahi sabit ho raha tha ki uske andar ab haddiyo ki jagah safed choora
bhara hua hai. Ankit ne bhi ek nazar uthakar us parchhayi ko dekha par koi react nahi kiya. Uske liye ab kisi baat ka koi matlab nahi tha
kyuki uski jindagi ki sabse pyari cheez uski behan use chhodkar ja
chuki thi.
Avinash achambhit aur dara hua lekin phir bhi poori tarah hosh mai
lagbhag bhagta hua moni ke paas aaya ye dekhne ke liye ki kya wo
theek hai. Tara ja chuki thi isliye wo janta tha ki uske liye ab kuch
nahi kiya ja sakta tha lekin moni shayad abhi bhi theek ho. Ankit ne
use hikarat bhari nazro se dekha par bola kuch nahi bas ek nazar
maarkar wapas apni behan ki lash ko dekhne laga.
Avinash ne jhukar moni ko god mai uthaya aur uski nabz check ki to
dekha ki wo theek thi bas behosh ho gayi thi. Moni ki naak se ab bhi
khoon beh raha tha aur aankho ke neeche kale aansuo ke karan bani
rekhayein ab bhi bani huyi thi jinhe avinash ne apne hath se pochkar
saaf kar diya. Halaki pochne se uska chehra ab aur bura dikh raha
tha kyuki ab ek to kala rang aur upar se farsh par pehle se mojoud
tara ka khoon bhi jo girne se moni ke chehre par bhi lag gaya tha ab
uske poore chehre par fail gaye the. Usne washbasin se pani lekar
moni ke chehre ko achhe se saaf kiya jisse moni ki behoshi toot gayi
aur wo kasmasate huye avinash ki god mai jaag gayi. Avi ka khud ka
chehra poori tarah ansuo se bheega hua tha jiska ehsaas use tab hua
jab usne moni ko hosh mai aate dekha. Moni ko pehle to kuch samajh
nahi aaya ki wo avi ki god mai kyu hai lekin jab usne avi ka poora
chehra ansuo se bheega dekha to apne nanhe-nanhe hatho se uska
chehra poch diya.
"Bachha.. tu theek hai na??" Avi ne use halke se apni god se utarte
huye poocha.
"Theek hu bhaiya.. par....." moni ne bilkul normal awaaj msi kaha aur
akhiri shabd to itne dheeme se kaha ki avi ko bhi mushkil se sunayi
diya. Chooki tara ki taraf moni ki peeth thi usne use abhi tak nahi
dekha tha. Ankit ab lagatar undono ko hikarat aur gusse bhari nazro
se ghoor raha tha. Use avi ka vyavhar aur bhi chot pahucha raha tha jo aise moni ke sath aise behave kar raha tha ki tara wali ghatna huyi
hi na ho.
"Par kya??" Usne poocha tomo ni ne isharo se use kaan neeche karne
ko kaha. Jab avi jhuk gaya aur yo moni sharmate huye uske kaan mai
bahut halke se phusphusayi, "Meri toilet nikal gayi hai..."
Avi ko samajh hi nahi aaya ki wo kya jawab de. Moni ko kuch bhi yaad
nahi tha ki usne tara ke sath kya kiya hai. Uski masumiyat dekhkar
uski aankhe phir geeli ho gayi lekin moni ko haqeeqat se rubaru
karana jaruri tha. Isliye usne moni ke dono kandho ko pakda aur use
halke se tara ki taraf ghuma diya.
Tara ko dekhte hi jaisa ki avi ne socha tha moni ki cheekh nikal gayi
aur wo bhi behosh hokar girne lagi. Isse pehhle ki moni gire avi ne
use samhal liya aur god mai uthakar bahar le jane laga. Jaise hi wo
darwaje par ankit ke paas se gujra to unko usne un dono par ek chid
aur hikarat bhari nazar dali lekin avi ne koi react nahi kiya. Wo ankit
ka dard samajh sakta tha jo jahir hai moni ko apni behan ka doshi
maan raha tha par wo aise halat mai kisi se bhi behas karne ke mood
mai nahi tha.
Tanu ke behosh shareer ko falaangkar aur ankit ki nazro ki parwah
kiye bina wo moni ko lekar bahar aaya aur use waha kone mai mojoud
checkup-bed par lita diya. Use bilkul besudh dekhkar avi ko phir
ashankao ne gher liya lekin ek baar phir uski ashankayein galat sabit
huyi kyuki behoshi mai hi moni halka sa hili. Wo bas behosh thi ye
jankar usne rahat ki saans li aur wapas washroom ki taraf gaya.
Ankit ab tak waise hi baitha hua tha aur ansoo bahaye ja raha tha.
Uske hoth buri tarah kaap rahe the aur samne padi apni behan ki lash
ko sooni aankho se bas dekhe ja raha tha. Avinash ki bhi aankhe nam
thi par ek wahi tha jo is halat mai tha ki ankit ko samhal sake. Wo ankit ke paas baitha aur peeche se uske kandhe par apna hath rakha.
Kisi ka sparsh mehsoos hote hi ankit ka baandh toot gaya aur wo
palat kar avi se lipat gaya aur phoot-phoot kar rone laga. Avi ne bhi
yahi behtar samjha ki in ansuo ko behne diya jaye isliye use rokne ki
usne koi koshish nahi ki. Ab ankit ki peeth tara ki taraf thi aur avi
uske kandhe par tike apne sir se tara ko dekh raha tha. Ankit baarbaar ek hi baat chilla raha tha aur roye ja raha tha "Tara chali
gayi"... "Tara chali gayi"...
Achanak avi ne ankit ke sir ke peeche tara ke shareer mai ek halchal
dekhi. Use apni aankho par yakeen nahi hua ki jo usne dekha wo sahi
bhi tha ya bas uski aankho ka veham tha. Par confirm karna jaruri tha
isliye usne ankit ko apne se alag kiya aur tara ki taraf badhne laga.
Avi se alg hote hi ankit farsh par gir pada aur waise hi farsh par
chehra chhupakar rone laga.
Avi tara ke nazdeek pahuchkar use gaur se dekhne laga. Uske kandhe
se jaha se uska hath ukhada gaya tha khoon ab bhi beh raha tha
halaki kaafi dheere-dheere. Waha us jagah ar andar ka maas aur
haddiya saaf-saaf nazar aa rahe the. Achanak usne phir wahi halchal
dekhi. Tara ki chhati bahut hi halki-halki hil rahi thi. Tanu ko ab tak
hosh aa chuka tha aur wo uthkar ab avi ki bagal mai aakar khadi ho
gayi thi. Aankhe uski bhi geeli thi aur tara ke ghaaw ko dekhkar use
chakkar bhi aa rahe the.
"Ye k..kaise ho gaya avi?? Tara... nahi.." wo badbadayi.
Avi ne ek nazar apne paas khadi tanu par dali par koi jawab nahi diya
aur wapas Tara ko dekhne laga. Ek baar phir wahi halchal dekhkar avi
se raha nahi gaya. Usne apna sir tara ki chhati par rakha aur un halki
magar asha jagane wali dil ki dhadkano ko sunkar wo khud se
badbadaya aur phir ek baar uske dusre hath ki nabz check karne ke
baad wo khushi se chillaya, "Ye jindaaa hai..."
Uski chekh sunkar jaha ankit ne turant apna sir uthakar usko dekha
to wahi tanu bhi achambhit si usko dekh rahi thi. Wahi bahar avi ki
awaaj sunkar moni bhi jaag gayi thi.
"K..k..kya?? Kya k.kaha??" Ankit ne avishwas magar sath hi ek khushi
ki lehar ke sath poocha.
"Ye jinda hai.. tara.. jinda hai ye.." jab avi ne dubara ye shabd kahe to ankit ke chehre par aaya bhaav dekhne layak tha. Usne turant apne ansoo poche aur bhagta hua uske paas aaya aur collar pakad kar use utha diya.
"Tu sach bol raha hai na??" Ankit ki awaaj mai khushi aur junoon dono hi koot-koot kar bhare the.
"H...h..ha bhai.. mai sach keh raha hu.. teri behan tara jinda hai.." kisi tarah apna collar uske hatho se chhudate huye avi bola.
Uski baat sunkar ankit turant waha farsh par baith gaya aur uske sir par hath ferte huye bola, "To ye uth kyu nahi rahi hai???"
"Kyuki ye ab coma mai hai.." avi ka jawab sunkar ankit ke chehre par ubhar aayi khushi usi teji se gayab ho gayi jis teji se wo aayi thi.

33. Is It Real??
Update 33
Tara farsh par bilkul shant soyi huyi thi. Uska chehra kisi gehri jheel
jitna shant tha aur yahi shanti ankit ke dil ko aur ghayal kar rhi thi.
Bachpan se hi tara ke chulbulepan aur shararto ka aadi ban chuka
ankit use itna shant dekhkar chhalni hua ja raha tha. Use ab bhi yakeen nahi ho raha tha ki tara ka poora dahina hath uske shareer se
alag ho chuka hai aur shayad wo ab kabhi nahi jagegi.
"Par tujhe kaise malum ye coma mai hai?? Tu koi doctor hai kya??"
Apni awaaj ko jitna ho sake ankit ne samanya rakhte huye poocha par
rookhpan ab bhi mojoud tha.
"Ek tarike se.. ha.. wo mai baad mai bataunga.. mudde ki baat ye hai ki
excessive blood-loss ki vajah se iska dimag mai khoon nahi pahuch
raha hai jis karan ye coma mai chali gayi hai.. hume pehle iska ye
khoon behna tokna hoga.." uske ghule ghaav ki taraf ishara karte
huye usne kaha. Ankit ko kuch samajh nahi aaya ki avi ye sab kaise
janta hai kyuki jaha tak use yaad aata hai avi ne unhe bataya tha ki
wo b.tech 3rd year mai hai.
"Aur ise fauran khoon bhi chadana hoga.. warna ye mar jayegi.." itna
sunte hi ankit ka dimag fauran sunn pad gaya. Tara ko khone ka gham
wo abhi seh kar dekh chuka tha. Uski behan uski jaan thi aur wo
dubara us gham ko nahi jhel sakta tha.
Ankit ne avi ke sath milkar tara ko waha wash room se uthaya aur
bahar lekar aaye. Tanu bhi chalti huyi unke peeche bahar aa gayi aur
washroom ka darwaja band kar diya. Moni ko hosh aa chuka tha aur
wo abhi bhi tara ko sadme se dekh rahi thi. Wo wahi us bed ke paas
khadi thi jab ankit aur avi tara ko lekar waha aaye aur us par lita
diya. Ankit ne jab paas hi khadi moni ko dekha to dar aur gusse ki
mili-juli awaaj mai bola, "Aeee... h..h..hat ja w..waha se..." Ye tay
karna mushkil tha ki uski halkahat dar ke karan thi ya gusse ke par
wo galat kar raha tha isliye avi turant usse uchi awaaj mai bola,
"Ankitttt.. isme moni ki koi galti nahi hai.. tune bhi us saaye ko dekha
tha na.. moni par usi ne kabza kiya hua tha..tu ye achhe se samajh le.. moni bilkul bekasoor hai.. wo bhala poore hoshohawas mai tara ko
nuksan kyu pahuchayegi.."
Uski baat sunkar moni ke chehre par mojoud dehshat ka bhaav aur
gehra ho gaya.
"Bhaiya.. ye maine kiya?? D..idi ko chot m..m..aine di??" Uski ungli
pakadte huye tara ne rote huye poocha.
"Na bachha.. na.. rote nahi.. tune kuch nahi kiya.. ye to us saaye ka
kaam hai... usi ne tujhe vash mai kiya tha.. tune kuch nahi kiya.." use
apne gale se lagate huye avi ne use dilasa diya. Ankit abhi bhi moni ko
ghoor raha tha mano us saaye ki shaitaniyat ke saboot dhoond raha
ho.
"Par.. iske andar.. ab bhi..." kehte-kehte ankit ruk gaya kyuki moni ab
use unhi masoom nazro se dekh rahi thi jinke wo aadi the. Ye nazre
ye batane ke liye kafi thi ki wo saaya ab moni ko chhod kar ja chuka
hai.
"Kya tumhe ye azeeb nahi lagta ki itna khoon beh jane ke baad bhi
tara ab tak jinda hai.." itni der se khamosh khadi tanu ne kaha to
ankit ne kha jane wali nazro se use dekha. Ab tak avi moni se alag
hokar doctor ki table par dressing ka samaan dhoodna shuru kar
chuka tha. Tara ki baat sunkar uske hath bhi ruk gaye aur wo bhi
tanu ko ghoorne laga.
"Meri baat ka galat matlab mat nikalna.. mera matlab tha ki jitna
khoon tara ka baha hai utne mai to kisi bhi normal insan ki maut ho jati.. ye chamatkar hi hai ki ye abhi tak jinda hai.." tara ne ankit ki nazro ko samajhte huye apni baat poori ki.
"Tumhari baat sahi hai.. mai bhi yahi soch raha hu.. lekin isse bhi jyada ek aur azeeb baat ho rahi hai.." avi ne wapas table ko check karte huye kaha aur jab use dressing ka saman mil gaya to usne dekha ki ankit aur tanu dono use sawaliya nazro se dekh rahe hai.
"Azeeb baat ye hai ki aaj se pehle kabhi is show mai kisi contestant
ko marte yaha tak ki chot pahuchte bhi nahi dikhaya gaya.. par is
baar kuch azeeb ho raha hai.. logo ko screen ke samne hi mara ja
raha hai.. is baar.. kuch.. alag ho raha hai... is baar humne.. kuch alag
kar diya hai.. kuch bahut hi alag.. aur bura bhi.." dressing ka samaan
lekar aate huye avi bola.
Harshit aur uske sathiyo ke hath apni torches par kase huye the aur
wo bahut hi sawdhani ke sath aage badh rahe the. Sab log khamosh
the aur hawa mai ek ajeeb si sansanahat thi jise sirf harshit
mehsoos kar raha tha. Upar wale floor tak jane ke liye unhe jyada
seediya nahi chadni padi. Jaise hi wo log upar pahuche unhone dekha
ki yaha neeche wali manzil se jyada andhera hai. Neeche phir bhi
kuch lights jal rahi thi lekin yaha to gupp andhera tha. Roshni ka
ekmatra jariya unki torches thi jinki roshni wo idhar-udhar fenk rahe
the taki aas-paas ki cheezein dekh sake. Torch ki roshni mai unhone
dekha kiwo ek seediya ek mod par thi jaha se samne aur dayi dono
taraf ek-ek lamba galiyara jata tha bilkul neeche wale floor ki tarah.
Par jo cheez yaha alag thi wo ye ki ye sabse upari floor tha kyuki
seediya iske upar nahi ja rahi thi. Aur to aur yaha ke galiyaro ki halat
bhi neeche wale floor se jyada kharab thi. Yaha to aisa lag raha tha
ki koi toofan aaya tha. Poore farsh par cheezein bikhri huyi thi, kamro aur darwajo ki khidkiya tooti huyi thi jinke kaanch ke tukde pade huye the, deewaro par paint ke sath poora plaster hi ukhad aaya tha, stretchers ulte-seedhe pade huye the.
"Ankittttt.... avinashhhhhh.... taraaaaaa....." harshit ne ek jordar awaaj lagayi jo waha mojoud dono galiyaro mai goonjti huyi nikal gayi. Goonj itni tej thi ki uska kampan unhe saaf-saaf mehsoos ho raha tha.
"Yaha to awaaj goonj rahi hai..kisi pahaad ki tarah.." pooja ne kaha.
Halaki usne bilkul normal aur dheemi awaaj mai ye baat kahi thi lekin
phir bhi ye goonjne lagi. Iski goonj kafi kam thi lekin ye kam hairani
ki baat nahi thi ki ye goonji hi kyu. Is goonj ne unke dil mai ek anjane
dar ko janam de diya tha. Achanak ek tej aah us anjane mahaul mai
goonji jisne unke dar ko kayi guna badha diya. Ye awaaj pehchanne
mai harshit se koi galti nahi ho sakti thi par wo ye nahi samajh pa
raha tha ki wo yaha kaise ho sakte hai. Ek baar phir wo dard bhari
aah waha goonji jisne un sabko andar tak hila diya khaskar harshit ko.
"Pappppaaaaa...." wo jitna ho sake utni tej awaaj mai chillaya. Uski
cheekh sunkar waha khada uska har ek sathi dar se kaap gaya. Ye
awaaj un teeno ko jani pehchani lag rahi thi par harshit ke muh se
papa sunkar unhe bhi yakeen ho gaya ki ye Mr. Gupta ki hi awaaj thi
jo unhe studio tak chhodne aaye the.
"Aaaahh.. h..h..ars..hitttt...." ek bahut hi mari huyi si awaaj waha
goonji jo dayi taraf wale galiyare se aayi thi.
"Papaa.. mai aa raha hu.. papaaa.." chillate huye usi taraf bhaga jisse
uski awaaj ki tej goonj waha charo taraf fail gayi.
"Harshhittt.. ruk harshittt.. ruk ja..." chillate huye aditya bhi uske
peeche-peeche bhaga aur priya, pooja aur rahul bhi.
"Harshittt.. ruk to sahi.. wo uncle nahi hai..." pooja chillayi.
"Harshitttt.. ruk ja.." priya chillayi par harshit to jaise kisi ki sun hi
nahi raha tha. Wo 'papa-papa' chillaye huye bhag raha tha aur jitna
wo aage aata utna hi awaaj use aur door se aati malum padti. Galiyara
unki umeed se kayi guna lamba tha aur aisa lag raha tha ki ye kabhi
khatam hi nahi hoga. Harshit raste mai bikhre stretchers se takra
raha tha, kayi baar girte-girte bhi bacha lekin phir bhi ruka nahi.
Aditya ne use na rukte dekh apni speed thodi badhayi aur uske nazdeek pahuchte hi uska hath pakad liya aur use akhir rok hi liya.
"Ruk kar sun to sahi yaar.. ye uncle ki awaaj nahi hai.." harshit bhagne
ke liye chhatpata raha tha lekin uski baat sunte hi uska chhatpatana
band ho gaya.
"Tujhe kaise malum ye papa ki awaaj nahi hai??" Apni awaaj mai
hikarat aur adheerta ka put late huye harshit ne poocha.
"Ye in shaitano ki koi chal hai.. yaad hai na waha studio mai mera ek
humshakal aaya tha jo in ladkiyo ko kahi le jana chahta tha.. ye bhi
wahi hai.. hume alag karne ki saazish.." aditya ne use samjhaya.
"Adi sahi keh raha hai harshu.. ye uncle nahi ho sakte.. wo to hume
waha studio tak chhod kar chale gaye the.. wo yaha kaise ho sakte
hai??" Pooja ne uska hath apne hath mai lete huye kaha.
"Aur agar tum log galat huye to?? Agar ye papa hi huye to??" Usi
hikarat ke put ke sath apna hath jhatakte huye wo bola.
"Wo nahi ho sakte.. samajh is baat ko.. ye hume alag karne ki sazish
hai.." aditya ne uske rookhepan ko nazarandaj karte huye kaha.
"Tere liye kehna asaan hai.. kyuki tere papa to hai nahi.. par...."
harshit apni baat poori kar bhi nahi paya tha ki ek thappad uske gaal
par itni teji se pada ki use duniya ghoomti nazar aane lagi. Pooja ke is
chhate ne use turant hi ye ehsaas kara diya ki usne abhi-abhi apne
sabse achhe dost se kitni kadwi baat kahi hai. Is jagah ki burayi uske
upar hawi ho rahi thi jis vajah se aaj uske dost ki aankho mai ansoo
the
"Harshhittt... tujhe jana hai to ja.. koi nahi rokega tujhe lekin aaj ke
baad agar tere muh se aisi ghatiya baat dubara nikli to mai.. to mai..
tujhe hamesha ke liye chhod dungi.." ansoo bahate huye pooja ne
kaha.
"Sorry... sorry.. mujhe nahi pata mere muh se ye kaise nikal ga..."
pooja ke hath pakadne ki koshish karte huye harshit bola par usne uska hath jhatak diya. Use aur rota dekh harshit adi ki taraf muda aur use gale se lagate huye bola, "Yaar maaf karde.. mujhse bahut badi galti ho gayi.. mera irada aisa nahi tha.. mai nahi janta ki ye mere muh se kaise nikal gaya.. please mujhe maaf karde.."
Aditya ki aankhe motiyo ki tarah ansoo baha rahi thi. Wo samajhdar tha isliye samajhta tha ki harshit jhoot nahi bol raha.
"Mujhe pata hai ki tera aisa irada nahi tha.. tu t.... uncleee..." aditya apni baat keh pata isse pehle hi uchhal pada. Samne andhere se Mr Gupta ladkhadakar chalte huye unki taraf aa rahe the.

Update 33
Tara farsh par bilkul shant soyi huyi thi. Uska chehra kisi gehri jheel
jitna shant tha aur yahi shanti ankit ke dil ko aur ghayal kar rhi thi.
Bachpan se hi tara ke chulbulepan aur shararto ka aadi ban chuka
ankit use itna shant dekhkar chhalni hua ja raha tha. Use ab bhi yakeen nahi ho raha tha ki tara ka poora dahina hath uske shareer se
alag ho chuka hai aur shayad wo ab kabhi nahi jagegi.
"Par tujhe kaise malum ye coma mai hai?? Tu koi doctor hai kya??"
Apni awaaj ko jitna ho sake ankit ne samanya rakhte huye poocha par
rookhpan ab bhi mojoud tha.
"Ek tarike se.. ha.. wo mai baad mai bataunga.. mudde ki baat ye hai ki
excessive blood-loss ki vajah se iska dimag mai khoon nahi pahuch
raha hai jis karan ye coma mai chali gayi hai.. hume pehle iska ye
khoon behna tokna hoga.." uske ghule ghaav ki taraf ishara karte
huye usne kaha. Ankit ko kuch samajh nahi aaya ki avi ye sab kaise
janta hai kyuki jaha tak use yaad aata hai avi ne unhe bataya tha ki
wo b.tech 3rd year mai hai.
"Aur ise fauran khoon bhi chadana hoga.. warna ye mar jayegi.." itna
sunte hi ankit ka dimag fauran sunn pad gaya. Tara ko khone ka gham
wo abhi seh kar dekh chuka tha. Uski behan uski jaan thi aur wo
dubara us gham ko nahi jhel sakta tha.
Ankit ne avi ke sath milkar tara ko waha wash room se uthaya aur
bahar lekar aaye. Tanu bhi chalti huyi unke peeche bahar aa gayi aur
washroom ka darwaja band kar diya. Moni ko hosh aa chuka tha aur
wo abhi bhi tara ko sadme se dekh rahi thi. Wo wahi us bed ke paas
khadi thi jab ankit aur avi tara ko lekar waha aaye aur us par lita
diya. Ankit ne jab paas hi khadi moni ko dekha to dar aur gusse ki
mili-juli awaaj mai bola, "Aeee... h..h..hat ja w..waha se..." Ye tay
karna mushkil tha ki uski halkahat dar ke karan thi ya gusse ke par
wo galat kar raha tha isliye avi turant usse uchi awaaj mai bola,
"Ankitttt.. isme moni ki koi galti nahi hai.. tune bhi us saaye ko dekha
tha na.. moni par usi ne kabza kiya hua tha..tu ye achhe se samajh le.. moni bilkul bekasoor hai.. wo bhala poore hoshohawas mai tara ko
nuksan kyu pahuchayegi.."
Uski baat sunkar moni ke chehre par mojoud dehshat ka bhaav aur
gehra ho gaya.
"Bhaiya.. ye maine kiya?? D..idi ko chot m..m..aine di??" Uski ungli
pakadte huye tara ne rote huye poocha.
"Na bachha.. na.. rote nahi.. tune kuch nahi kiya.. ye to us saaye ka
kaam hai... usi ne tujhe vash mai kiya tha.. tune kuch nahi kiya.." use
apne gale se lagate huye avi ne use dilasa diya. Ankit abhi bhi moni ko
ghoor raha tha mano us saaye ki shaitaniyat ke saboot dhoond raha

"Kya tumhe ye azeeb nahi lagta ki itna khoon beh jane ke baad bhi

ankit ne kha jane wali nazro se use dekha. Ab tak avi moni se alag
hokar doctor ki table par dressing ka samaan dhoodna shuru kar
chuka tha. Tara ki baat sunkar uske hath bhi ruk gaye aur wo bhi
tanu ko ghoorne laga.
"Meri baat ka galat matlab mat nikalna.. mera matlab tha ki jitna
khoon tara ka baha hai utne mai to kisi bhi normal insan ki maut ho jati.. ye chamatkar hi hai ki ye abhi tak jinda hai.." tara ne ankit ki nazro ko samajhte huye apni baat poori ki.
"Tumhari baat sahi hai.. mai bhi yahi soch raha hu.. lekin isse bhi jyada ek aur azeeb baat ho rahi hai.." avi ne wapas table ko check karte huye kaha aur jab use dressing ka saman mil gaya to usne dekha ki ankit aur tanu dono use sawaliya nazro se dekh rahe hai.
"Azeeb baat ye hai ki aaj se pehle kabhi is show mai kisi contestant

wo bahut hi sawdhani ke sath aage badh rahe the. Sab log khamosh

34. Room Of Surprises
Update 34
Aditya ke muh se ye sunte hi Harshit ne peeche palatkar dekha to
use bhi apni aankho par yakeen nahi hua. Sabhi ki torches usi taraf
tani huyi thi. Galiyare ke andhere hisse se uske papa chale aa rahe
the. Unki halat theek nahi lag rahi thi. Shareer par kayi jagah ka
maas udhda hua tha jaha se khoon beh raha tha. Kapde jagah-jagah
se phate huye the aur jab harshit ne gaur kiya to paya ye wahi kapde
h jo unhone un logo ko studio chhodte waqt pehne the. Wo bamushkil
ladkhada kar chal pa rahe the.
"H..h.har...shittt..." ladkhadati awaaj mai unhone pukara.
"Papaaaa!!! Papaaa... mai yahi hu..aapke paas.." teji se aate huye
harshit ne unhe samhalte huye kaha. Papa ko samne dekh wo abhi-abhi huyi apne dosto ke sath baatcheet ko bilkul bhool chuka tha.
Waise bhi apne papa ko is halat mai dekh use kuch nahi soojh raha tha. Lekin uske dost nahi bhoole the isliye wo Mr Gupta ko shaq bhari nigaho se dekh rahe the.
"Papa.. aap yaha?? Kaise?? Aur aapki ye halat??" Rote huye harshit ne poocha.
"H..h..harshittt.. tu aa g..aya.. tu.. tu.." uske papa bas itna hi keh paye
aur behosh ho gaye.
"Papa... papa... kya hua aapko... papa.. aankhe kholo na.." harshit ne
rote huye unhe jhakjhora par koi fayda nahi hua. Use kuch samajh
nahhi aa raha tha ki wo kya kare. Uske papa uski god mai behosh pade
the aur wo kuch nahi kar pa raha tha. Aditya aur baki log wahi but
bane ye sab hota dekh rahe the lekin kisi ke bhi muh se ek shabd
nahi phoot raha tha. Harshit ne torch ki roshni idhar-udhar ghumayi
to dekha aage ek room ka darwaja thoda khula hua tha. Usne apne
papa ko uthane ki koshish ki lekin nahi utha paya.
"Please... madad karo meri.." apne dosto ki taraf dekhte huye harshit
ne vinti ki. Uski awaaj sunkar un teeno ne ek dusre ko dekha aur
isharo mai hi tay kar liya ki pehle harshit ki madad kare aur phir kuch
kahenge. Aditya aur pooja uske paas aaye aur Mr Gupta ko uthane
mai uski madad ki. Mr gupta ko kisi tarah khada karke harshit aur
aditya ke kandho par tikaya gaya aur phir wo dono unhe us kamre tak
le gaye. Peeche-peeche unke pooja aur priya rahul ka hath thame aa
rahi thi.
Poore floor ki tarahye room bhi andhere mai dooba hua tha. Torch ki
roshni mai unhone dekha ye ek private room tha jisme patient bed ke
sath hi ek visitor's bed bhi tha. Room kafi ganda tha aur waha dhool
jami huyi thi. Kayi medical instruments, syringes, medicines wagerah
bhi rakhi thi jin par bhi dhool ki moti parat jama thi. Unhone Mr Gupta ko patient bed par litaya aur aas-paas dressing ka samaan dhoodne lage taki unke ghaavo ki marham-patti ki ja sake.
"Harshitt... mujhe ab bhi yahi lagta hai ki ye ek chaal hai.." dressing ki pattiya harshit ko dete huye aditya bola jo use ek drawer mai mili thi.
"Kya matlab hai tera??" Harshit ne poocha.
"Yahi ki ye uncle nahi hai.. ye uncle kaise ho sakte hai?? Mera matlab
hai ki unke yaha hone ka koi matlab hi nahi banta.. tujhe to malum hi
hai ki is show mai koi wild-card entry nahi hoti.. phir ye uncle kaise
ho sakte hai??" Aditya ne darte-darte ye baat kahi ki kahi harshit
phir se na bhadak jaye.
"To tujhe lagta hai ki ye koi papa ka duplicate hai.. koi bhoot hai..
haaa??"
"Ha mujhe aisa hi lagta hai.."
"To phir tujhe galat lagta hai.. kyuki ye mere papa hi hai.. mai apne
papa ko achhi tarah se janta hu.. unko pehchanne mai mujhse koi
bhool nahi ho sakti.. aur tujhe kya lagta hai unhe ye chotein kaha se
lagi?? Khud ko mari hai?? Nahi... ye mere papa hi hai.."
"Par???"
"Par kya?? Yahi na ki wo yaha kaise aaye.. is baat ka jawab hume
tabhi milega jab ye hosh mai aayenge.. isliye ab meharbani karke is
baat ko yahi khatam kar de.. aur mujhe wo bottle paas kar de.."
Aditya ne paas rakhi dettol ki dhool khayi bottle harshit ko thama di
jiske baad harshit ne apne papa ka first-aid shuru kar diya. Usne
dettol se unke ghaav poche aur un par pattiya baandh di. Torch ki
halki roshni mai ye kaam karna itna asaan nahi tha lekin phir bhi
harshit ne ye kar hi liya. Jab harshit sara kaam niptakar Mr Gupta ke
paas se utha to usne pehli baar kamre par ek achhi nazar dali. Kamra
kafi aalishan aur bada tha lekin dhool aur gandgi ne iski sari chamak
sokh li thi. Patient bed ke theek upar ek A/C laga hua tha, dayi taraf 2-3 kadmo ki doori par hi ek fridge tha aur sath hi room mai ek attached bathroom bhi tha.
"Room to kafi achha hai.." harshit ko room dekhte dekh pooja boli.
"Hmmm..." harshit ne bas itna hi kaha.
Use thodi pyaas lag rahi thi itni mehnat ke baad lekin tabhi use yaad
aaya ki un sabke hi paas pani khatam hone wala hai. Wo fridge ke
paas aaya aur jaise hi use kholkar dekha mayoos ho gaya. Andar
mojoud har ek cheez buri tarah sad chuki thi. Usne fridge band kar
diya aur wapas aakar apne papa ke bagal mai baith gaya. Idhar rahul
ne apni bottle nikalkar pani peena shuru kiya to harshit se raha nahi
gaya. Usne bhi apni bottle mai bache thode se pani ko bhi khatam kar
hi diya. Rahul ki bootle se pooja, priya aur aditya ne bhi pani peeya
aur uski bottle bhi khali ho gayi.
"Hamare paas abpani ki ekboond bhi nahi bachi hai.. hume jald se jald
pani dhoodna hi hoga.. aur bakiyo ko bhi.." aditya ne khali bottle rahul
ko dete huye kaha.
"Ye bathroom mai ho sakta hai pani ho.. jara check karke dekh.."
pooja boli.
"Bhaiya hume kya ab bathroom ka pani peena padega.." rahul ne
bottle hath mai lehrate huye poocha.
"Ye ek survival-game hai rahul.. yaha hume wo sab kuch karna hoga jo
jinda rehne keliye jaruri ho.. abhi to sirf pani khatam hua hai..socho
jab khane ka samaan khatam hoga tab hum kya karenge..." rahul ke
baalo par hath ferte huye aditya ne kaha aur phir uske hath se
bottle lekar bathroom ki taraf chal diya.
Bathroom bhi room ki tarah hi kafi bada aur aalishan tha. Waha ek
bathtub, shower, commode, washbasin sab kuch tha par sab dhool se
sana hua aur andhere mai dooba hua. Par aditya waha akela nahi tha.
Uske sath waha koi aur bhi tha jiski badi-badi aankhe apne shikar ko ghoor rahi thi. Ye ek saaya tha jo uske pairo ke theek neeche tha aur uske sath-sath hi chal raha tha. Agar adi ne torch ki roshni ek baar bhi apne theek neeche ke farsh par jamayi hoti to shayad uska dil dhadakna hi band kar deta.
Aditya torch lekar washbasin ke paas gaya par nirasha hi hath lagi. Jaise hi usne basin ka nal khola to usme se siway hawa ke kuch nahi nikla.
"Dhattt...isme to pani hai hi nahi.. kya karu.." adi khud se badbadaya.
Washbasin se hatkar usne apni torch ki roshni bathtub ki taraf ki to
dekha usme. Pani bhara tha par dhool ki parat ke sath. Wo jaldi se
bathtub ke paas aaya aur us pani ko check karne laga. Bathtub mai
pani upar tak bhara hua tha aur bilkul shant tha.
"Ye pani to sada hua hai.." man hi man usne socha. Pani par dhool ki
moti parat hone ke bawjood usne dekha ki wo jama hua pani hara pad
chuka hai aur usme se kuch azeeb si durgandh bhi aa rahi hai. Wo
uthne hi laga tha ki usne dekha bathtub ke nal se pani ki boond ek-ek
karke tub mai tapak rahi thi. Aditya ne turant nal kholkar dekha to
saaf pani ki ek tej bauchhar beh nikli. Adi ne jaldi se thoda sa pani
apne hath mai lekar dekha to use wo bilkul sahi laga.
Pani ko bilkul saaf pakar adi wahi baith gaya aur usne turant rahul ki bottle nal ke neeche laga di. Usne ek hath se bottle pakad rakhi thi aur dusre mai torch. Use pani bharne ke liye nal ki taraf thoda jhukna pad raha tha jis karan usne dhyan hi nahi diya ki isi waqt wo saaya uske pairo ke neeche se nikalkar us bhare huye bathtub mai sama gaya. Aisa hote hi nal se aati pani ki tej dhar bilkul dheemi pad gayi aur ek patli kamzor dhar mai badal gayi. Adi ko ye thoda azeeb laga par usne is par jyada dhyan nahi diya. Usne torch ko muh mai dabaya aur dusre hath se nal ka handle ghumana chaha par wo to pehle hi poora ghooma hua tha. Isliye wo us dheemi dhar ke sath hi laga raha. Idhar bathtub ke andar ka pani ab dheere-dheere badalne laga tha. Chooki torch adi ke muh mai dabi thi aur uska poora dhyan bottle par hi tha usne dekha hi nahi ki kab wo sada hua pani kaali keechad mai badal gaya.
Bottle bharne mai kafi samay lag raha tha isliye uska hath ab dukh raha tha. Jaise hi bottle bhari usne jhat se uska cap lagaya aur apne bag-pack se apni bottle nikalne laga. Uska dhyan abhi tak us keechad par nahi gaya tha kyuki andhere mai pani waise bhi kala hi dikhta hai.
Jaise hi wo apni bottle ko nal ke neeche laya jhatke ke sath us keechad se ek hath nikla jisne uski gardan pakad li aur use apne sath us keechad mai kheech liya.

Update 34
Aditya ke muh se ye sunte hi Harshit ne peeche palatkar dekha to
use bhi apni aankho par yakeen nahi hua. Sabhi ki torches usi taraf
tani huyi thi. Galiyare ke andhere hisse se uske papa chale aa rahe
the. Unki halat theek nahi lag rahi thi. Shareer par kayi jagah ka
maas udhda hua tha jaha se khoon beh raha tha. Kapde jagah-jagah
se phate huye the aur jab harshit ne gaur kiya to paya ye wahi kapde
h jo unhone un logo ko studio chhodte waqt pehne the. Wo bamushkil
ladkhada kar chal pa rahe the.
"H..h.har...shittt..." ladkhadati awaaj mai unhone pukara.
"Papaaaa!!! Papaaa... mai yahi hu..aapke paas.." teji se aate huye
harshit ne unhe samhalte huye kaha. Papa ko samne dekh wo abhi-abhi huyi apne dosto ke sath baatcheet ko bilkul bhool chuka tha.
Waise bhi apne papa ko is halat mai dekh use kuch nahi soojh raha tha. Lekin uske dost nahi bhoole the isliye wo Mr Gupta ko shaq bhari nigaho se dekh rahe the.
"Papa.. aap yaha?? Kaise?? Aur aapki ye halat??" Rote huye harshit ne poocha.
"H..h..harshittt.. tu aa g..aya.. tu.. tu.." uske papa bas itna hi keh paye
aur behosh ho gaye.
"Papa... papa... kya hua aapko... papa.. aankhe kholo na.." harshit ne
rote huye unhe jhakjhora par koi fayda nahi hua. Use kuch samajh
nahhi aa raha tha ki wo kya kare. Uske papa uski god mai behosh pade
the aur wo kuch nahi kar pa raha tha. Aditya aur baki log wahi but
bane ye sab hota dekh rahe the lekin kisi ke bhi muh se ek shabd
nahi phoot raha tha. Harshit ne torch ki roshni idhar-udhar ghumayi
to dekha aage ek room ka darwaja thoda khula hua tha. Usne apne
papa ko uthane ki koshish ki lekin nahi utha paya.
"Please... madad karo meri.." apne dosto ki taraf dekhte huye harshit
ne vinti ki. Uski awaaj sunkar un teeno ne ek dusre ko dekha aur
isharo mai hi tay kar liya ki pehle harshit ki madad kare aur phir kuch
kahenge. Aditya aur pooja uske paas aaye aur Mr Gupta ko uthane
mai uski madad ki. Mr gupta ko kisi tarah khada karke harshit aur
aditya ke kandho par tikaya gaya aur phir wo dono unhe us kamre tak
le gaye. Peeche-peeche unke pooja aur priya rahul ka hath thame aa
rahi thi.
Poore floor ki tarahye room bhi andhere mai dooba hua tha. Torch ki
roshni mai unhone dekha ye ek private room tha jisme patient bed ke
sath hi ek visitor's bed bhi tha. Room kafi ganda tha aur waha dhool
jami huyi thi. Kayi medical instruments, syringes, medicines wagerah
bhi rakhi thi jin par bhi dhool ki moti parat jama thi. Unhone Mr Gupta ko patient bed par litaya aur aas-paas dressing ka samaan dhoodne lage taki unke ghaavo ki marham-patti ki ja sake.
"Harshitt... mujhe ab bhi yahi lagta hai ki ye ek chaal hai.." dressing ki pattiya harshit ko dete huye aditya bola jo use ek drawer mai mili thi.
"Kya matlab hai tera??" Harshit ne poocha.
"Yahi ki ye uncle nahi hai.. ye uncle kaise ho sakte hai?? Mera matlab
hai ki unke yaha hone ka koi matlab hi nahi banta.. tujhe to malum hi
hai ki is show mai koi wild-card entry nahi hoti.. phir ye uncle kaise
ho sakte hai??" Aditya ne darte-darte ye baat kahi ki kahi harshit
phir se na bhadak jaye.
"To tujhe lagta hai ki ye koi papa ka duplicate hai.. koi bhoot hai..
haaa??"
"Ha mujhe aisa hi lagta hai.."
"To phir tujhe galat lagta hai.. kyuki ye mere papa hi hai.. mai apne
papa ko achhi tarah se janta hu.. unko pehchanne mai mujhse koi
bhool nahi ho sakti.. aur tujhe kya lagta hai unhe ye chotein kaha se
lagi?? Khud ko mari hai?? Nahi... ye mere papa hi hai.."
"Par???"
"Par kya?? Yahi na ki wo yaha kaise aaye.. is baat ka jawab hume
tabhi milega jab ye hosh mai aayenge.. isliye ab meharbani karke is
baat ko yahi khatam kar de.. aur mujhe wo bottle paas kar de.."
Aditya ne paas rakhi dettol ki dhool khayi bottle harshit ko thama di
jiske baad harshit ne apne papa ka first-aid shuru kar diya. Usne
dettol se unke ghaav poche aur un par pattiya baandh di. Torch ki
halki roshni mai ye kaam karna itna asaan nahi tha lekin phir bhi
harshit ne ye kar hi liya. Jab harshit sara kaam niptakar Mr Gupta ke
paas se utha to usne pehli baar kamre par ek achhi nazar dali. Kamra
kafi aalishan aur bada tha lekin dhool aur gandgi ne iski sari chamak
sokh li thi. Patient bed ke theek upar ek A/C laga hua tha, dayi taraf 2-3 kadmo ki doori par hi ek fridge tha aur sath hi room mai ek attached bathroom bhi tha.
"Room to kafi achha hai.." harshit ko room dekhte dekh pooja boli.
"Hmmm..." harshit ne bas itna hi kaha.
Use thodi pyaas lag rahi thi itni mehnat ke baad lekin tabhi use yaad
aaya ki un sabke hi paas pani khatam hone wala hai. Wo fridge ke
paas aaya aur jaise hi use kholkar dekha mayoos ho gaya. Andar
mojoud har ek cheez buri tarah sad chuki thi. Usne fridge band kar
diya aur wapas aakar apne papa ke bagal mai baith gaya. Idhar rahul
ne apni bottle nikalkar pani peena shuru kiya to harshit se raha nahi
gaya. Usne bhi apni bottle mai bache thode se pani ko bhi khatam kar
hi diya. Rahul ki bootle se pooja, priya aur aditya ne bhi pani peeya
aur uski bottle bhi khali ho gayi.
"Hamare paas abpani ki ekboond bhi nahi bachi hai.. hume jald se jald
pani dhoodna hi hoga.. aur bakiyo ko bhi.." aditya ne khali bottle rahul
ko dete huye kaha.
"Ye bathroom mai ho sakta hai pani ho.. jara check karke dekh.."
pooja boli.
"Bhaiya hume kya ab bathroom ka pani peena padega.." rahul ne
bottle hath mai lehrate huye poocha.
"Ye ek survival-game hai rahul.. yaha hume wo sab kuch karna hoga jo
jinda rehne keliye jaruri ho.. abhi to sirf pani khatam hua hai..socho
jab khane ka samaan khatam hoga tab hum kya karenge..." rahul ke
baalo par hath ferte huye aditya ne kaha aur phir uske hath se
bottle lekar bathroom ki taraf chal diya.
Bathroom bhi room ki tarah hi kafi bada aur aalishan tha. Waha ek
bathtub, shower, commode, washbasin sab kuch tha par sab dhool se
sana hua aur andhere mai dooba hua. Par aditya waha akela nahi tha.
Uske sath waha koi aur bhi tha jiski badi-badi aankhe apne shikar ko ghoor rahi thi. Ye ek saaya tha jo uske pairo ke theek neeche tha aur uske sath-sath hi chal raha tha. Agar adi ne torch ki roshni ek baar bhi apne theek neeche ke farsh par jamayi hoti to shayad uska dil dhadakna hi band kar deta.
Aditya torch lekar washbasin ke paas gaya par nirasha hi hath lagi. Jaise hi usne basin ka nal khola to usme se siway hawa ke kuch nahi nikla.
"Dhattt...isme to pani hai hi nahi.. kya karu.." adi khud se badbadaya.
Washbasin se hatkar usne apni torch ki roshni bathtub ki taraf ki to
dekha usme. Pani bhara tha par dhool ki parat ke sath. Wo jaldi se
bathtub ke paas aaya aur us pani ko check karne laga. Bathtub mai
pani upar tak bhara hua tha aur bilkul shant tha.
"Ye pani to sada hua hai.." man hi man usne socha. Pani par dhool ki
moti parat hone ke bawjood usne dekha ki wo jama hua pani hara pad
