39. Daddy In Morgue
Update 39
"Tune dekha sudhir ko?? Pehle kyu nahi bataya phir.. kaha hai wo??
Wo theek to hai na??" Harshit ke muh se sudhir ka naam sunte hi Mr
Gupta bole. Halaki harshit ke ansuo ne unke sawal ka jawab de diya
tha ki sudhir theek nahi hai.
"Tujhe pakka yakeen hai na ki wo wardboy sudhir uncle hi the?? Kyuki
jis halat mai wo wardboy tha us halat mai koi insan jinda to nahi ho
sakta.." Aditya ne use hilate huye poocha.
"Wo uncle hi the.. sudhir uncle hi the wo.." harshit ne rote huye
jawab diya.
"Excuse me.. par kya koi mujhe batayega ki yaha kya baatein ho rahi
hai.. sudhir ko tum logo ne kaha dekha?? Aur ye harshit ro kyu rha hai??" Thoda jhllate huye Mr Gupta bole. Un logo ki baatein sunkar
unka dil baitha ja raha tha.
"Mai batata hu uncle.." aditya ne bolna shuru kiya, "Yaha is hospital
mai aate hi hum logo ka samna jis pehli cheez se hua wo ek wardboy
tha.. uske dono pair ghutno se gayab the.. chehra bilkul kala pad
chuka tha.."
Dheere-dheere aditya ne us wardboy se mulaqat ka ek-ek pal unke
samne dohra diya.
"Aur phir wo dono dil hamari taraf badhne lage to hum log buri tarah
dar gaye..hume wapas room mai jana pada jaha bilkul gupp andhera
tha.. waha achanak harshit ne kuch suna to apne phobia ki vajah se
wo waha se bhag gaya aur hum log do groups mai bat gaye.. par thank
god sab log ab wapas mil gaye.." kehte huye aditya ne apni kahani
khatam ki. Par use kya pata tha ki jis cheez ki awaaj sunkar harshit
dum dabakar bhaga tha wo usi ka dil tha aur ab uski jagah shaitan ki
soch aur burayio se bhara dil le chuka tha. Un dono mai se ek dil
aditya ke seene mai dhadak raha tha aur dheere-dheere us par kabu
kar raha tha.
Aditya ki kahani sunkar Mr Gupta khud ko samhal nahi paye aur
ladkhadate huye dhamm se doctor wali kursi par ja gire.
"Sab meri galti hai.. use mai hi yaha laya.. meri vajah se hi uski ye
halat huyi hai.. unhone kaha bhi tha.. ohhh god sudhirrr..." Mr gupta
ruanse hote huye badbadaye.
Kafi dair tak waha sannata chhaya raha. Jaha Mr Gupta aur harshit
sudhir ki maut ke gham mai doobe the wahi baki log bhi aise mauke
par koi baat nahi chhedna chah rahe the. Sudhir uncle harshit ke liye
family member jaise hi the. Wo unhe 'chachu' bulata tha jo uske har
b'day har diwali, holi aur new year par uske liye uske manpasand gifts late the. Sudhir uncle ki koi aulad nahi thi isliye wo harshit ko hi apne
bete ki tarah mante the.
"Aage kya hua uncle??" Kuch dair ke sannate ke baad aditya ne
poocha. Uske andar aage ki sari baat janne ke liye ek kulbulahat
machi huyi thi.
"Aage..." Mr Gupta ne apni geeli aankhe pochhi aur bole, "Waha
morgue room mai kayi lashe rakhi huyi thi jinki halat kafi kharab thi..
sab sad-gal chuki thi.. balki unhe lasho ki jagah kankaal kehna hi
jyada behtar hoga.. mai sudhir ko dhoodna chahta tha isliye sabhi
lasho ka kapda hatakar dekha ki kahi wo mazak to nahi kar raha..
andhera bahut jyada isliye chehre dekhne ke liye mujhe torch ka
istemal karna pad raha tha.. par ye baat unko pasand nahi aayi.. bilkul
pasand nahi aayi.."
"Kinko???" 2-3 jano ne ek sath poocha jinme harshit bhi shamil tha.
"Un lasho ko..."
Flashback:
Morgue poori tarah lasho se ataa pada tha. Jaha nazar aur torch ki
roshni ja rahi thi waha stretchers par leti lashe hi dikh rahi thi.
Lashe safed chadar mai lipti huyi thi bas unke panje hi bahar dikh
rahe the jin par hospital ka tag laga hua tha. Kamra kafi thanda aur
upar se lasho se bhara hua tha. Ye dono hi cheezein mere andar ek
kapkapi aur sihran paida kar rahe the. Phir sudhir ki cheekh aur
farsh par dikh rahe wo dono pairo ne to mujhe andar tak kapa diya
tha. Aise mahaul mai dil ki dhadkan itnj teji se bhag rahi thi ki lag
raha tha ki kahi heart fail na ho jaye. Shareer ke sare rongte khade
ho chuke the. Mai ek-ek kadam napte huye un kate pairo ke paas gaya
jinse abhi bhi taza khoon ris rah tha. Na jane kyu unhe dekhte hi man
mai khayal aaya ki kahi ye sudhir ke na ho.
"Sudhirrrr..." man mai aisa khayal aate hi maine ek jordar awaaj
lagayi par koi jawab nahi mila.
Maine 2-3 baar aur cheekhein lagayi par sannate ke alawa aur koi
jawab nahi aaya. Achanak mere man mai na jane kyu ye khyal aaya ki
khi wo mazak to nahi kar raha. Aisa khayal aate hi man mai dr ke sath
hi gussa bhi panapne laga ki ye bhi koi mazak ka time hai. Halaki
sudhir ki mazak krne ki aadat thi bhi aisi hi ki wo jagah ya samay
dekhkar mazak nahi karta tha. Jab man kare shuru ho jata tha. Ho
sakta hai ye pair yaha pehle se mojoud ho prop ki tarah aur inhe
dekhkar hi use ye idea aaya ho.
"Sudhhirrr.. agar ye mazak hai.. to bahut hi ghatiya mazak hai..
chal..bahar aaja fauran.." maine uchi awaaj mai kaha par jawab mai
phir wahi sannata hi aaya.
Ab mera gussa satwe asmaan par tha. Maine turant un pairo ke sabse
nazdeek wale stretcher par gaya aur jhatke se uski chadar hata di.
"Sud...." torch ki roshni uske chehre par karte huye mai apni baat
poori keh bhi nahi paya ki jubaan gale mai hi atak gayi.
Us lash ka sir poori tarah sada hua tha. Maas to bas naam ko tha aur
wo bhi sadkar bhoora pad chuka tha. Andar ki khopdi saaf nazar aa
rahi thi. Torch ki roshni padte hi uski band palke halki si michmichayi
to ye dekhte hi maine turant torch waha se hata li. Is waqt mujhe
itna dar lag raha tha ki 21 saal ke ladke ka baap hone ke baad bhi
pair kaap rahe the. Us chehre par maine wapas chadar daal di aur
usse peeche hat gaya.
Par shayad bahut dair ho chuki thi. Mere peeche hatte hi wo lash
waha stretcher par uthkar baith gayi. Meri torch abhi bhi udhar
stretcher ki hi taraf thi. Wo lash pair latkakar us stretcher par hi
baithi huyi thi aur chadar abhi bhi uske shareer ko dhaki huyi thi.
Mere hath pair buri tarah kaap rahe the aur mai peeche hatta ja raha tha ki achanak ek stretcher se takra gaya. Aisa hote hi maine
palatkar dekha to us stretcher par soyi huyi lash bhi jaag gayi thi.
Usne turant chadar ke neeche se apna sada-gala hath nikala aur mera
hath pakad liya. Meri dhadkan ab jawab deti ja rahi thi.
"Chhod mera hath.. chho... bachhaooo.." Maine apna hath chhutane ki
bahut koshish ki lekin koi fayda nahi hua. Uski pakad bahut mazboot
thi isliye maine apna dusra hath jisme torch pakad rakhi thi uske
hath par rakha aur oori taqat lagakar apna hath kheecha. Is baar mai
kamyab ho gaya aur jaise hi mai wapas ghooma aur torch us stretcher
par ki wo lash waha nahi thi. Mai abhi soch hi raha tha ki wo lash kaha
gayi ki tabhi ye wali lash uthkar baith gayi. Mere peeche hone ke
karan mai ise dekh nahi paya aur iska ehsaas mujhe tab hua jab ye
stretcher se utarkar mere peeche khadi ho gayi. Murdo se bhare
kamre mai ye ehsaas hona ho ki koi aapke peeche khada hai kisi ki
jaan lene ke liye kafi hai. Meri gardan ke baal khade ho chuke the par
abhi kuch aur bhi baki tha. Itne dar mai bhi mujhe ye ehsaas hua ki
koi cheez mere pairo ke paas padi hai aur wo hil rahi hai.
Ab ek taraf to peeche khadi wo lash ka ehsaas aur dusri taraf aage
pairo ke paas kis cheez ke hone ka ehsaas, ye dono hi ehsaas mere
jaan lene par utaaru the. Maine buri tarah kaapte huye hatho se
torch ki roshni neeche ki aur jaise hi maine us cheez ko dekha torch
bhi dar gayi aur luplupane lagi. Waha neeche usi gayab huyi lash ka
kamar se upar ka hissa tha jo pet ke bal ghisatta hua mere paas aa
raha tha. Wo mujhse bas kuch hi inch ki doori par tha. Torch ki
roshni us par padte hi usne bhi sir uthakar meri taraf dekha to uski
kankaal wali khodi par jo muskan thi use mai kabhi nahi bhool sakta.
Uski patli-patli haddiyo wali ungliyo mai 2-2 inch lambe nukile
nakhoon the jo kisi ka bhi maas faad sakte the. Us lash ke utne hisse
par ab kahi koi kapda nahi tha. Poori chhati aur pet par bhi maas bas
naam ko hi tha. Pet par maas jaha nahi tha wah se antadiya bahar ko nikal rahi thi ur usi ke ghisatkar farsh par khoon ke bhoore nishan
bana rahi thi.
"Yaha nahi aana chahiye tha.. dost to gaya.. abtu bhi jayega.." peeche
wali aur aage wali dono lash ek sath sikke ki khankhanahat jaisi awaaj
mai boli.
Ye sab ab meri sehanshakti ke bahar tha. Dar jab had se jyada badh
jata hai tab insan ke andar apne aap hi himmat aa jati hai. Mai turant
darwaje ki taraf bhaga par wo locked tha.
"Bachaooo... please koi bachaooo..." mai darwaje peette huye chillaya
par kisi ne nahi suna.
Mai darwaja peet hi raha tha ki achanak mujhe apne upar chhat par
koi halchal mehsoos huyi. Maine torch ki roshni upar ki to dekha usi
lash ke neeche ka hissa waha chhat par rengta hua mere upar aa
chuka tha. Mai kuch kar pata isse pehle hi wo mere upar kood pada.
Mai us hisse samet farsh par gir pada. Wo hissa itna bhari tha ki
mujhse utha hi nahi ja raha tha. Tabhi dusra wala hissa mujhe apne
sir ke theek peeche mehsoos hua. Maine jaise hi gardan ghumayi wo
mere upar chad gaya aur buri tarah se nochne-katne laga. Wo hissa
bhi dusre ki tarah hi bahut bhari tha.
Mera shareer kayi jagaho se buri tarah kat-fat gaya tha aur unme se
buei tarah khoon beh raha tha. Neeche wala hissa shanti se mere pet
par pada hua tha aur upari hissa mujhe har jagah se noch-khasot
raha tha. Mujhe jaldi hi kuch karna tha warna meri maut tay thi.
Maine apne andar bachi-khuchi sari taqat sameti aur un dono hisso ko
apne upar se dhakel diya aur khada ho gaya.
Jaise hi mai khada hua maine dekha mere theek samne bas 1 foot ki
doori par wo lash khadi hai jisne mera hath pakda tha. Uski halat bhi
usi lash jitni kharab thi. Mai waha se hil pata isse pehle hi neeche
pade lash ke hisse ne mere pairo ko buri tarah jakad liya. Mai bilkul jaam ho gaya tha aur girne se bachne ke liye mere hatho ne apne aap
hi samne khadi lash ka sahara le liya. Ye use bilkul bhi pasand nahi aaya. Usne apne dono kankaal wale hath aage mere sir ke dono taraf rakhe aur isse pehle ki mai soch pata wo kya kar raha hai usne ek hi jhatke mai mera sir 180° ke angle par peeche ghuma diya aur mujhe bhi apni tarah ek lash bana diya.

Update 40
"Ye sach hai harshu.. mai ab mar chuka hu.." Isi ke sath harshit ki
taraf ruansi nazro se dekhte huye Mr Gupta bole. Wo is waqt usi
chair par baithe huye the
Sabki aankhe fati padi thi. Jis shaks ko wo apne samne dekh rahe hai
wo jinda nahi balki ek bhoot tha. Abhi tak jo log unki baatein sunne
ke liye unke paas khisak aaye the wo unke akhiri shabd sunte hi aise
peeche hate mano unme current aa raha ho.
"Daro mat.. mai tum logo ko koi nuksan nahi pahuchaunga.."
"Ye bahut hi bekar mazak hai papa.. itne bade ho gaye ho phir bhi
aisa mazak.." apne papa ko daatte huye harshit bola. Uski aankhe ye
sunte hi laal pad chuki thi.
"Ye mazak nahi hai harshu.. mai ye abhi sabit kar deta hu.." kehte
huye Mr Gupta ne apne dono hath apne sir par rakhe aur use peeche
ghuma diya mano unki gardan rubber ki bani ho.
"Bas kariye..." harshit rote hye chillaya to Mr Gupta ne apna sir
wapas normal kar diya. Uske dil mai azeeb si ghabrahat mach rahi thi
apne papa ko kho dene ke dar se shayad. Uska ulti karne ka man kar
raha tha par wo bhi nahi kar pa raha tha.
"Ab yakeen hua.." unhone bhari aankho se harshit se kaha.
"Mai nahi manta... aapko kuch nahi hua hai.. aap mere ko chhodkar
kahi nahi ja sakte.. aap kahi nahi gaye.. yahi hai.. mere paas.." apne
papa ke seene se chipakte huye harshit rote huye bola. Ansoo ab har
ek ki aankho mai the. Mr Gupta harshit ka sir sehla rahe the aur use
chup hone ko bol rahe the lekin harshit bas roye ja raha tha. Pehle
bada bhai, phir maa aur ab papa: fear-trap ne harshit ki poori duniya
hi ujaad di thi.
"Shant ho ja harshu.. ab kuch nahi ho sakta.. mai ab kabhi nahi laut
sakta.." kuch dair tak jab harshit unke seene se lage rota raha to wo
use pyar se hatate huye bole.
"Nahi.. aap bilkul theek hai.. hum sab yaha se bahar jayenge.. aur aap
hamare sath chalenge.. abhi to aapko mera graduation dekhna hai..
meri shadi dekhni hai.. apne pote-potiyo ke sath khelna hai.. abhi to
bahut kuch karna hai aapko.." wapas apne papa se chipatte huye
harshit bola. Ansoo abhi bhi barbas bahe ja rahe the.
"Ohhh ha.. teri maa ne bataya tha.. tere aur poo ke bare mai.. jab tu
coma mai tha.. bataya tha usne.." Mr Gupta ne use puchkarte huye
kaha, "Tum dono ki jodi ekdum perfect hai.. wada kar harshit.. tu
yaha se sahi salamat jayega.. aur meri bahu ko bhi sahi salamat nikal
kar le jayega.. wada kar.."
"Uncle....." pooja bas itna hi keh payi ki Mr Gupta ne use tok diya, "na
beta.. kuch kehne ki jarurat nahi hai.."
Ye sunkar pooja bhi unke seene se chipak gayi aur bilakh kar rone
lagi. Mr gupta ek hath se harshit to dusre se pooja ka sir sehla rahe
the aur puchkarte huye unhe shant karne ki koshish karte rahe. Kisi
aur ko unse ab na kuch janna tha na poochna tha. Jaha aditya ye
janne ke baad ki wo bhoot hai unki kisi baat par yakeen karna
munasib nahi samajh raha tha wahi avi, tanisha aur ankit ke khyal bhi usse milte-julte the. Dusri taraf moni aur rahul ek kone mai dubke
pade the jabse unhone Mr Gupta ko gardan ghumate dekha tha.
Kuch dair baad pooja shant huyi aur unse alag huyi. Rote-rote uski
aankhe laal pad gayi thi aur poora chehra ansuo se sana hua tha. Kuch
dair baad harshit bhi alag hua par unse alag hatne ki jagah wo wahi
unki god mai sir rakhkar baith gaya. Ro-rokar uski aankhe sooj gayi
thi aur wo kayi dino ka beemar lag raha tha. Mr Gupta ne bhi use
hatane ki ya usse kuch kehne ki koshish nahi ki aur use waise hi rehne
diya.
Kayi ghante yu hi gujar gaye. Harshit unki god mai hi so gaya tha
isliye unhone use uthakar bed par sula diya tha. Marne ke baad unme
kafi taqat aa chuki thi isliye unhone harshit ko aise utha liya mano wo
kagaz jitna halka ho. Baki sabki aankhe bhi bhari ho rahi thi par jo
log pehli hi 'so' chuke the unki aankho se to neend koso door thi.
Ankit aur Tara jaha us madadgaar ke bare mai baat kar rahe the
wahi tanisha aur avi ek kone mai baithe ek dusre ke bare mai jyada
se jyada janne ki koshish kar rahe the. Pooja aur priya done ek dusre
se sir sataye ek kone mai baithi so rahi thi wahi aditya bhi wahi
harshit ke paas bed par baitha tha aur lagbhag so hi raha tha. Mr
Gupta moni aur rahul ke paas baithe unse baat kar rahe the. Unse
baat karke un dono bachho ke man ka dar ja chuka tha aur wo dono
bhi ab unse normally baat kar rahe the. Sabke bags ek kone mai pade
the.
"Uncle.. kya marne mai dard hota hai??" Rahul ne masumiyat se
poocha.
"Bilkul bhi dard nahi hota.. bas ek jhatke mai sab khatam ho jata hai..
par ye tum kyu pooch rahe ho?? Abhi to tumhe bahut jeena hai.." Mr
Gupta ne uske sir par hath ferte huye kaha.
"Nahi uncle.. mujhe nahi lagta ki mai yaha se kabhi ja paunga.. kabhi
koi nahi ja pata.." rahul ne usi masumiyat se phir kaha.
Uski baat sunkar Mr Gupta soch mai pad gaye aur kuch nahi keh paye.
Kuch pal sochne ke baad wo uthe aur araam se so rahe harshit ke
paas gaye.
"Harshit uthhh... jaldi uthh.." unhone itni uchi awaaj mai kaha ki
harshit samet sabhi sone wale ek jhatke mai jaag gaye aur Mr Gupta
ko dekhne lage.
"Kya hua papa.. sone do na.." harshit ne ubasi lete huye kaha mano wo
maut ke muh mai nahi balki apne ghar ke naram bistar par so raha ho.
"Tum logo ko is jagah se nikalna hoga.. fauran.." unki baat sunte hi
harshit ko achanak sachhayi ka ehsaas hua aur ye bhi yaad aa gaya ki
uske papa ab mar chuke hai. Ye yaad aate hi uski phir se rulayi phoot gayi aur wo phir se apne papa se chipak gaya.
"Samhal khud ko harshit..." uske dono kandho ko pakadkar use jhidakte huye wo bole, "ye khel maut ka tamasha hai.. aur mai nahi chahta tum log is tamashe ke shikar bano.. tum logo ko yaha se nikalna hoga.. fauran.."
"Par kaise... hume wo heera jab tak nahi milta hum yaha se nahi ja sakte.." avinash ne chintit awaaj mai kaha.
"Heera?? Konsa heera??" Mr Gupta ne hairani se poocha. Wahi adi, harshit, pooja, priya ke chehro par bhi waisa hi bhaav tha.
"Ha ek heera hai.. jo is paheli ke anusar yahi is hospital mai hi kahi chhupa hai.. use dhoodkar hi hum aage badh sakte hai.." kehte huye ankit ne omni-letter apni jeb se nikalkar Mr Gupta ko dikhaya.
"Tum logo ne paheli suljha li??" Adi ne ascharya se poocha.
"Bas 50%... ye pata ha ki kya dhoodna hai.. kaha dhoodna hai ye nahi pata.." avi ne jawab diya.
"Mujhe pata hai baki ka 50%.." Mr Gupta ne paheli padhne ke baad
letter harshit ko dete huye kaha.
"Kyyaaa.... aapko pata hai?? Jaldi bataiye na phirr..." adi ne utsukta
se kaha. Unki baat sunkar sab log ab Mr Gupta ko gher kar khade ho
gaye the.
"Ye wahi jagah hai jaha meri maut huyi.. yani ki morgue..." Mr Gupta
ki baat sunkar sab log aise khade ho gaye mano pathhar ke bane ho.
"Dhoodo mujhe waha, jaha se umeed bhi wapas nahi aati.. matlab wo
jagah jaha se koi nahi lautkar aata.. yani morgue.. murdo kaantim
padaav.. unka akhiri ghar.." Mr Gupta ne dhang se samjhaya.
"Jab mujhe hosh aaya tab maine dekha mai ek stretcher par leta hu..
aur mujh par waisi hi chadar dhaki huyi hai.. mai samajh gaya tha ki
kuch hua hai.. phir jab mai utha aur chadar hatayi to dekha ek laal
bauna mere samne khada hai.. uski safed badi-badi aankhe thi jo kuch
had tak laal pad chuki thi.. waisa hi jaisa tum logo ne dekha tha.. uski
aankho se khoon beh raha tha.. usi ne mujhe bataya ki mai mar chuka
hu.. aur phir gayab ho gaya... uski baat sunkar mai sadme mai chala
gaya.. kuch nahi soch pa raha tha.. darwaja ab khul chuka tha isliye
mai waha se bahar gaya.. mai kafi dair tak idhar-udhar bhatakta raha
jab tak ki mujbe tu nahi dikh gaya.." Mr Gupta itna kehkar shant ho
gaye. Wo is samay un logo ko morgue ki taraf le ja rahe the. Wo log
is waqt usi galiyare mai the jisme unhe Mr Gupta mile the. Waha kafi
andhera tha lekin Mr Gupta ke karan unhe bilkul bhi dar nahi lag raha
tha. Unka shareer kisi androoni roshni se chamak raha tha aur jiski
abha se aas-paas ki cheezein bhi saaf dikh rahi thi.
"Phir se wahi bauna.. ye akhir chahta kya hai??" Harshit ne kaha.
"Harshitt.. mujhe lagta hai ki shayad usi ne mujhe theek kiya tha.." tara apne kandhe par ek nazar marte huye boli.
"Tumhe yakeen hai?? Kyuki maut ke khel mai koi shikari apne shikar
ki madad kabhi nahi karta.." adi ne ek azeeb si tone mai kaha.
"Yakeen ke sath to nahi keh sakti.. lekin wo jo koi bhi tha.. chhote
kad ka tha.. aur shayad laal tha.. aur phir tumhi batao aise theek
karne ki taqat kisi insan mai ho sakti hai kya??"
"Chalo maan li tumhari baat.. par phir ye batao ki usne hamari madad
kyu ki?? Aaj se pehle to kabhi aisa nahi hua ki kisi season mai kisi bhoot ne contestants ki madad ki ho.. phir ab kyu??" Adi ne ulta sawal daaga jiska jawab kisi ke paas nahi tha. Tara gehri soch mai doob gayi aur uska dhyan Mr Gupta ki awaaj se hi toota.
"Lo hum pahuch gaye.." morgue room ke samne pahuchkar Mr Gupta bole.

Update 40
"Ye sach hai harshu.. mai ab mar chuka hu.." Isi ke sath harshit ki
taraf ruansi nazro se dekhte huye Mr Gupta bole. Wo is waqt usi
chair par baithe huye the
Sabki aankhe fati padi thi. Jis shaks ko wo apne samne dekh rahe hai
wo jinda nahi balki ek bhoot tha. Abhi tak jo log unki baatein sunne
ke liye unke paas khisak aaye the wo unke akhiri shabd sunte hi aise
peeche hate mano unme current aa raha ho.
"Daro mat.. mai tum logo ko koi nuksan nahi pahuchaunga.."
"Ye bahut hi bekar mazak hai papa.. itne bade ho gaye ho phir bhi
aisa mazak.." apne papa ko daatte huye harshit bola. Uski aankhe ye
sunte hi laal pad chuki thi.
"Ye mazak nahi hai harshu.. mai ye abhi sabit kar deta hu.." kehte
huye Mr Gupta ne apne dono hath apne sir par rakhe aur use peeche
ghuma diya mano unki gardan rubber ki bani ho.
"Bas kariye..." harshit rote hye chillaya to Mr Gupta ne apna sir
wapas normal kar diya. Uske dil mai azeeb si ghabrahat mach rahi thi
apne papa ko kho dene ke dar se shayad. Uska ulti karne ka man kar
raha tha par wo bhi nahi kar pa raha tha.
"Ab yakeen hua.." unhone bhari aankho se harshit se kaha.
"Mai nahi manta... aapko kuch nahi hua hai.. aap mere ko chhodkar
kahi nahi ja sakte.. aap kahi nahi gaye.. yahi hai.. mere paas.." apne
papa ke seene se chipakte huye harshit rote huye bola. Ansoo ab har
ek ki aankho mai the. Mr Gupta harshit ka sir sehla rahe the aur use
chup hone ko bol rahe the lekin harshit bas roye ja raha tha. Pehle
bada bhai, phir maa aur ab papa: fear-trap ne harshit ki poori duniya
hi ujaad di thi.
"Shant ho ja harshu.. ab kuch nahi ho sakta.. mai ab kabhi nahi laut
sakta.." kuch dair tak jab harshit unke seene se lage rota raha to wo
use pyar se hatate huye bole.
"Nahi.. aap bilkul theek hai.. hum sab yaha se bahar jayenge.. aur aap
hamare sath chalenge.. abhi to aapko mera graduation dekhna hai..
meri shadi dekhni hai.. apne pote-potiyo ke sath khelna hai.. abhi to
bahut kuch karna hai aapko.." wapas apne papa se chipatte huye
harshit bola. Ansoo abhi bhi barbas bahe ja rahe the.
"Ohhh ha.. teri maa ne bataya tha.. tere aur poo ke bare mai.. jab tu
coma mai tha.. bataya tha usne.." Mr Gupta ne use puchkarte huye
kaha, "Tum dono ki jodi ekdum perfect hai.. wada kar harshit.. tu
yaha se sahi salamat jayega.. aur meri bahu ko bhi sahi salamat nikal
kar le jayega.. wada kar.."
"Uncle....." pooja bas itna hi keh payi ki Mr Gupta ne use tok diya, "na
beta.. kuch kehne ki jarurat nahi hai.."
Ye sunkar pooja bhi unke seene se chipak gayi aur bilakh kar rone
lagi. Mr gupta ek hath se harshit to dusre se pooja ka sir sehla rahe
the aur puchkarte huye unhe shant karne ki koshish karte rahe. Kisi
aur ko unse ab na kuch janna tha na poochna tha. Jaha aditya ye
janne ke baad ki wo bhoot hai unki kisi baat par yakeen karna
munasib nahi samajh raha tha wahi avi, tanisha aur ankit ke khyal bhi usse milte-julte the. Dusri taraf moni aur rahul ek kone mai dubke
pade the jabse unhone Mr Gupta ko gardan ghumate dekha tha.
Kuch dair baad pooja shant huyi aur unse alag huyi. Rote-rote uski
aankhe laal pad gayi thi aur poora chehra ansuo se sana hua tha. Kuch
dair baad harshit bhi alag hua par unse alag hatne ki jagah wo wahi
unki god mai sir rakhkar baith gaya. Ro-rokar uski aankhe sooj gayi
thi aur wo kayi dino ka beemar lag raha tha. Mr Gupta ne bhi use
hatane ki ya usse kuch kehne ki koshish nahi ki aur use waise hi rehne
diya.
Kayi ghante yu hi gujar gaye. Harshit unki god mai hi so gaya tha
isliye unhone use uthakar bed par sula diya tha. Marne ke baad unme
kafi taqat aa chuki thi isliye unhone harshit ko aise utha liya mano wo
kagaz jitna halka ho. Baki sabki aankhe bhi bhari ho rahi thi par jo
log pehli hi 'so' chuke the unki aankho se to neend koso door thi.
Ankit aur Tara jaha us madadgaar ke bare mai baat kar rahe the
wahi tanisha aur avi ek kone mai baithe ek dusre ke bare mai jyada
se jyada janne ki koshish kar rahe the. Pooja aur priya done ek dusre
se sir sataye ek kone mai baithi so rahi thi wahi aditya bhi wahi
harshit ke paas bed par baitha tha aur lagbhag so hi raha tha. Mr
Gupta moni aur rahul ke paas baithe unse baat kar rahe the. Unse
baat karke un dono bachho ke man ka dar ja chuka tha aur wo dono
bhi ab unse normally baat kar rahe the. Sabke bags ek kone mai pade
the.

"Kya hua papa.. sone do na.." harshit ne ubasi lete huye kaha mano wo

"Par kaise... hume wo heera jab tak nahi milta hum yaha se nahi ja sakte.." avinash ne chintit awaaj mai kaha.
"Heera?? Konsa heera??" Mr Gupta ne hairani se poocha. Wahi adi, harshit, pooja, priya ke chehro par bhi waisa hi bhaav tha.
"Ha ek heera hai.. jo is paheli ke anusar yahi is hospital mai hi kahi chhupa hai.. use dhoodkar hi hum aage badh sakte hai.." kehte huye ankit ne omni-letter apni jeb se nikalkar Mr Gupta ko dikhaya.

"Bas 50%... ye pata ha ki kya dhoodna hai.. kaha dhoodna hai ye nahi pata.." avi ne jawab diya.
"Mujhe pata hai baki ka 50%.." Mr Gupta ne paheli padhne ke baad
letter harshit ko dete huye kaha.
"Kyyaaa.... aapko pata hai?? Jaldi bataiye na phirr..." adi ne utsukta
se kaha. Unki baat sunkar sab log ab Mr Gupta ko gher kar khade ho

41. Morgue Again..
Update 41
Samne tha hospital ke morgue ka safed adkhula darwaja. Andar gupp
andhera tha jiske karan kisi ke bhi pair aage nahi badh rahe the.
Rahul aur moni to morgue jane ke naam se hi kaap uthe the phir waha sach mai kadam rakhna to bahut door ki baat hai.
"Mai nahi jaunga andar.." aditya ke peeche dubakte huye rahul bola.
"Mai bhi nahi jaungi.." moni ne bhi uska anukaran kiya. Dono lagbhag ro rahe the andar na jane ke liye.
"Kyu bhai.. tum log andar kyu nahi jaoge??" Adi ne poocha.
"Andar bhoot hai.." dono ne ek sath kaha.
"Achha aur agar hamare jane ke baad bahar bhoot aa gaye to..." adi
ne unhe manane ke liye poocha.
"Mummmyyyy...." uski baat sunte hi moni chillate huye rone lagi.
Ye dekhkar harshit ne aditya ko aankh dikhayi aur phir moni ko shant
karte huye bola, "Are moni beta.. adi bhaiya to mazak kar rahe hai..
kyu hai na adiii..."
Harshit ne jab dat peeste huye adi se kaha to wo bhi bola, "Ha moni..
mai to mazak kar raha tha.. chalo andar chalein kuch nahi hoga.. aur
agar kuch hua to harshit bhaiya hai na.. sab samhal lenge.. kyu hai na
harshit.."
Aditya ke is ulte taunt ka harshit koi jawab nahi de paya aur bas itna hi bola, "chalo.. andar chalte hai.."
Harshit use hairani se dekhta hua aage badh raha tha bina aage dekhe isliye ane pita se takra gaya.
"Harshu.. tu ruk abhi.. tum log bhi abhi ruko.. pehle mai jakar dekhta hu.. kahi andar koi khatra to nahi.." Mr Gupta ne usse kaha.
"Nahi.. agar unhone aapke sath kuch kiya to??" Harshit ne unka hath pakadte huye kaha.
"Harshit.. wo mera ab aur jyada kya bigaad sakte hai.." Mr Gupta ne haste huye kaha sur phir andar chale gaye.
Bahar harshit aur baki log besabri se unka intezar kar rahe the. Koi 5 minute baad hi Mr Gupta bahar aaye aur bole, "Andar koi khatra nahi hai.. sab stretchers khali hai.. chalo aa jao sab log.."
Itna kehkar wo wapas andar chale gaye par harshit aur pooja ko chhodkar abhi bhi baki sab ke man mai thoda sankoch tha.
"Chalo aa jao.. chalo.." Mr Gupta wapas bahar aaye aur bole.
Itna kehkar wo phir se andar chale gaye aur is baar baki sab log bhi unke peeche-peeche aa gaye.
Jitna un logo ne socha tha aur jaisa unhone movies mai dekha tha wo
morgue usse kafi bada tha. Kisi hall jitne bade us morgue room mai
poori tarah andhera chhaya hua tha. Roshni ka ekmatra jariya is
samay sirf Mr Gupta the par andar mojoud khatre ko bhapte huye
sabhi logo ne apni torches nikal li thi. Torch ki roshni mai unhone
dekha waha har taraf stretchers hi stretchers the aur sab khali the.
Kam se kam dekhkar to yahi lag raha tha.
"Yaha switch kaha hai??" Idhar-udhar roshni marte huye ankit ne
poocha.
"Dekho wo raha.." priya ne ek taraf switchboard par roshni padte hi
kaha.
Ankit ne fauran switch on kiya aur jaise hi bulb ki roshni waha faili
dar ki ek lehar unke dil se nikalkar poore shareer mai daud gayi.
Poora morgue is waqt surkh laal roshni mai naha chuka tha par isse
bhi jyada darawani baat ye thi ki roshni hote hi wo stretchers ab
khali nahi rahe the. Ye dekhte hi sab log aapas mai ek sath chipak kar khade ho gaye aur un stretchers ko hi ghoorne lage jin par ab chadar ke neeche kisi lash ke hone ka akaar saaf dikh raha tha. Isi ke sath poore morgue mai ek tej durgandh bhi fail gayi jo yakeenan un lasho ki hi thi.
"Ye kaise hua?? Abhi to y.." Harshit apni baat poori nahi keh paya isse pehle hi Mr Gupta bol pade, "Ankit... light off kar do.. jaldi.."
Ankit ne unki awaaj mai ghabrahat dekhkar light turant off kar di.
Roshni jate hi unhone apni torches wapas stretchers par ghumayi to wo stretchers wapas khali ho chuke the aur wo durgandh bhi ja chuki thi. Ye dekhkar unhone chain ki saans li aur ankit bhi wapas unhi logo ke paas aa gaya.
Par ye chain ki saans kuch hi palo ki thi kyuki ankit ke jate hi wo
switch apne aap on ho gaya aur morgue ek baar phir usi laal roshni
aur lasho ki sadi badboo se bhar gaya. Stretchers phir se lasho se
pat chuke the jo shayad unhe jagaye jane ka intezar kar rahi thi.
"Ye kais..." kehte huye ankit wapas board ki taraf lapka aur light off
kardi. Ek baar phir wo lashe aur unki badboo gayab ho gayi. Ankit ne
apna hath abhi board se hataya hi tha ki roshni phir jal uthi aur is
baar board se bijli ki chingariya bhi bhadak uthi aur board jalne laga.
Ye dekhkar ankit apne aap do kadam peeche hat gaya. Us roshni ko
band karne ka ab koi tareeka nahi tha aur na hi un lasho ko bhagane
ka.
"Ye theek nahi hai.. ye theek nahi hai.." Mr Gupta badbada rahe the
aur unke chehre par dar ki lakeerein saaf sekhi ja sakti thi.
"Bhaiya... mujhe bahut dar lag raha hai.." rahul rote huye bola. Uski
awaaj sunte hi ek sath kayi stretchers se charmarane ki awaaj aayi.
"Sshhh.. awaaj neeche.. harshu.. ye achha sanket nahi hai.. tum logo
ko wo heera jaldi se dhoodkar yaha se nikalna hoga.." Mr Gupta ne
bahut hi dheemi awaaj mai kaha.
"Mujhe to lagta hai.. ye hume jaan-boojhkar yaha laye hai.. kyu hai
na.." aditya Mr Gupta ko aankh dikhate huye phusphusaya.
"Bas karo adi.. mujhe nahi lagta inhone aisa kuch kiya hai.. aur behtar
hoga ki tum apna dhyan heera dhoodne mai hi lagao.." apni kamar mai
dabi revolver bahar nikalte huye avinash dheere se bola. Uske hath mai gun dekhkar adi ek baar phir khamosh ho gaya.
Avinash ne us bulb ki taraf nishana lagaya aur jaise hi trigger dabane wala tha ki harshit ne use rok liya.
"Agar nishana chooka ya bulb goli lagne par bhi nahi phoota.. to goli ki
awaaj se ye sab murde jaag jayenge.." harshit ne uska gun wala hath
pakadte huye kaha. Ye sunkar avi ne apni gun neeche karli.
"Par hum use dhoode kaha.. yaha to in stretchers ke alawa kuch hai hi
nahi.." tanisha phusphusate huye boli.
Waha sch mai un stretchers ke alawa kuch naji tha. Bas kone mai ek
table par kuch surgical tools rakhe huye the.
"Inme to nahi hai.." un tools ko khangalte huye ankit bola.
"Itna hi asaan hota to phir baat hi kya thi.." harshit ne kaha.
"Kahi aisa to nahi ki hume.. in.. in stretchers ko.. uhhmm check karna
padega??" Thook gatakte huye tara ne poocha.
"Mujhe bhi yahi lag raha hai.." Mr Gupta ne bas itna hi kaha.
Ye sunkar sabki kapkapi chhut gayi aur pair aise jaam ho gaye mano
pathhar ke bane ho.
Kisi ki himmat nahi ho rahi thi aage badhne ki. Sab kisi murti ki tarah
khade the aur kabhi un stretchers ko to kabhi Mr Gupta ko dekh
rahe the.
"Ye kaam tum logo ko hi karna hoga.. mai khiladi nahi hu.. isliye tumhari isse jyada madad nahi kar sakta.. aur waise bhi us heere ko sirf tumhi log chhu sakte ho.." Mr Gupta ne unki nazro ko bhapte huye kaha.
"Aapko kaise pata??" Harshit ne poocha.
"Usi baune ne bataya tha.. levels clear karne ke liye jin cheezo ko pana hota hai unhe sirf khiladi hi chhu sakte hai.. aur...."
"Aur kaun??"
"Wo bauna khud.. uske alawa khud tashina bhi inhe nahi chhu sakta.."
Mr Gupta ne poori baat batayi aur phir bole, "Ghabrao nahi.. mai hu
na tumhare sath.. kuch nahi hoga.. tum log shuru to karo.."
"Theek hai.. agar aap kehte hai to.." harshit ne kaha aur ek stretcher
ki taraf badhne laga. Uska dil aaj tak kabhi itni tej nahi bhaga tha.
Uska rom-rom khada ho chuka tha aur hath buri tarah kaap rahe the.
"Bas unke chehre par torch ki roshni mat marna.. theek hai..." peeche
se mr gupta bole jisse harshit ki ghabrahat aur badh gayi.
Usne kaapte hatho se us stretcher par se chadar hatayi aur us lash
ko dekhte hi uski cheekh nikalne wali thi par usne turant hi apna hath
muh par rakh liya. Lash bilkul sadi-gali thi aur jagah-jagah se uska
maas gayab tha. Pet aur seene par maas bilkul bhi nahi tha jis karan
uski aantein, fefde, dil wagerah sab dikh rahe the. Laal roshni ki
vajah se wo lash aur bhi jyada darawani lag rahi thi. Wo lash Harshit
se mahaz ek foot ki doori par thi aur usko is waqt itna dar lag raha
tha ki uske hath-pair bilkul thande pad chuke the.
"Dekho uske aas-paas.. heera hai kya.." Mr Gupta bahut hi dheemi
awaaj mai bole taki sirf harshit unhe sun sake na ki wo lash.
Unki baat sunkar harshit ne darte-darte us stretcher aur us lash ke
aas-paas ek sarsari nigah dali. Waha kuch nahi mila to usne thook
gatakte huye uske khule pade seene ke andar jhaanka aur bola,
"N.nn..nn..nahi hai.."
"Theek hai.. wapas dhak do ise.. par dheere se.." Mr Gupta ne kaha to
harshit ne waisa hi kiya aur wapas apni jagah par aa gaya. Us lash se
door aakar use itna achha lag raha tha jitna use kabhi nahi laga tha.
"Dekha.. asaan hai.. chalo ab sab log aisa hi karo.. par poori sawdhani ke sath.. aur ye hamesha dhyan rakhna chahe kuch bhi ho jaye... unke chehre par torch ki roshni mat marna.. samajh gaye.." Mr Gupta ne baki sabse kaha.
Moni, rahul aur tara wahi Mr Gupta ke paas khade rahe aur baki
sabne agle 20 minute mai lagbhag poora morgue chhan mara. Sabhi
lasho ki halat us pehle wali jaisi hi thi. Abhi tak to sab kuch theek hi
chala tha aur kisi bhi lash ne uthne ki jehmat nahi uthayi thi. Ab sirf
do lashe hi bachi thi.
Harshit, ankit aur priya un dono lasho ke paas aaye aur dekhne lage ki
pehle kisko chune. Halaki ab tak in 20 minute mai wo kitne hi
stretchers ko check kar chuke the lekin phir bhi har baar chadar uthane unke hath-pair thande pad jate the. Himmat karke ankit ne ek lash se chadar utha hi diya.
"Yahi hai.. yahi hai.." us lash ko dekhte hi ankit ke muh se ye shabd khud-ba-khud nikal pade.

Update 41
Samne tha hospital ke morgue ka safed adkhula darwaja. Andar gupp
andhera tha jiske karan kisi ke bhi pair aage nahi badh rahe the.
Rahul aur moni to morgue jane ke naam se hi kaap uthe the phir waha sach mai kadam rakhna to bahut door ki baat hai.
"Mai nahi jaunga andar.." aditya ke peeche dubakte huye rahul bola.
"Mai bhi nahi jaungi.." moni ne bhi uska anukaran kiya. Dono lagbhag ro rahe the andar na jane ke liye.
"Kyu bhai.. tum log andar kyu nahi jaoge??" Adi ne poocha.
"Andar bhoot hai.." dono ne ek sath kaha.
"Achha aur agar hamare jane ke baad bahar bhoot aa gaye to..." adi
ne unhe manane ke liye poocha.
"Mummmyyyy...." uski baat sunte hi moni chillate huye rone lagi.
Ye dekhkar harshit ne aditya ko aankh dikhayi aur phir moni ko shant
karte huye bola, "Are moni beta.. adi bhaiya to mazak kar rahe hai..
kyu hai na adiii..."
Harshit ne jab dat peeste huye adi se kaha to wo bhi bola, "Ha moni..
mai to mazak kar raha tha.. chalo andar chalein kuch nahi hoga.. aur
agar kuch hua to harshit bhaiya hai na.. sab samhal lenge.. kyu hai na
harshit.."
Aditya ke is ulte taunt ka harshit koi jawab nahi de paya aur bas itna hi bola, "chalo.. andar chalte hai.."
Harshit use hairani se dekhta hua aage badh raha tha bina aage dekhe isliye ane pita se takra gaya.
"Harshu.. tu ruk abhi.. tum log bhi abhi ruko.. pehle mai jakar dekhta hu.. kahi andar koi khatra to nahi.." Mr Gupta ne usse kaha.
"Nahi.. agar unhone aapke sath kuch kiya to??" Harshit ne unka hath pakadte huye kaha.
"Harshit.. wo mera ab aur jyada kya bigaad sakte hai.." Mr Gupta ne haste huye kaha sur phir andar chale gaye.
Bahar harshit aur baki log besabri se unka intezar kar rahe the. Koi 5 minute baad hi Mr Gupta bahar aaye aur bole, "Andar koi khatra nahi hai.. sab stretchers khali hai.. chalo aa jao sab log.."
Itna kehkar wo wapas andar chale gaye par harshit aur pooja ko chhodkar abhi bhi baki sab ke man mai thoda sankoch tha.
"Chalo aa jao.. chalo.." Mr Gupta wapas bahar aaye aur bole.
Itna kehkar wo phir se andar chale gaye aur is baar baki sab log bhi unke peeche-peeche aa gaye.
Jitna un logo ne socha tha aur jaisa unhone movies mai dekha tha wo
morgue usse kafi bada tha. Kisi hall jitne bade us morgue room mai
poori tarah andhera chhaya hua tha. Roshni ka ekmatra jariya is
samay sirf Mr Gupta the par andar mojoud khatre ko bhapte huye
sabhi logo ne apni torches nikal li thi. Torch ki roshni mai unhone
dekha waha har taraf stretchers hi stretchers the aur sab khali the.
Kam se kam dekhkar to yahi lag raha tha.
"Yaha switch kaha hai??" Idhar-udhar roshni marte huye ankit ne
poocha.
"Dekho wo raha.." priya ne ek taraf switchboard par roshni padte hi
kaha.
Ankit ne fauran switch on kiya aur jaise hi bulb ki roshni waha faili
dar ki ek lehar unke dil se nikalkar poore shareer mai daud gayi.
Poora morgue is waqt surkh laal roshni mai naha chuka tha par isse
bhi jyada darawani baat ye thi ki roshni hote hi wo stretchers ab
khali nahi rahe the. Ye dekhte hi sab log aapas mai ek sath chipak kar khade ho gaye aur un stretchers ko hi ghoorne lage jin par ab chadar ke neeche kisi lash ke hone ka akaar saaf dikh raha tha. Isi ke sath poore morgue mai ek tej durgandh bhi fail gayi jo yakeenan un lasho ki hi thi.
"Ye kaise hua?? Abhi to y.." Harshit apni baat poori nahi keh paya isse pehle hi Mr Gupta bol pade, "Ankit... light off kar do.. jaldi.."
Ankit ne unki awaaj mai ghabrahat dekhkar light turant off kar di.
Roshni jate hi unhone apni torches wapas stretchers par ghumayi to wo stretchers wapas khali ho chuke the aur wo durgandh bhi ja chuki thi. Ye dekhkar unhone chain ki saans li aur ankit bhi wapas unhi logo ke paas aa gaya.
Par ye chain ki saans kuch hi palo ki thi kyuki ankit ke jate hi wo
switch apne aap on ho gaya aur morgue ek baar phir usi laal roshni
aur lasho ki sadi badboo se bhar gaya. Stretchers phir se lasho se
pat chuke the jo shayad unhe jagaye jane ka intezar kar rahi thi.
"Ye kais..." kehte huye ankit wapas board ki taraf lapka aur light off
kardi. Ek baar phir wo lashe aur unki badboo gayab ho gayi. Ankit ne
apna hath abhi board se hataya hi tha ki roshni phir jal uthi aur is
baar board se bijli ki chingariya bhi bhadak uthi aur board jalne laga.
Ye dekhkar ankit apne aap do kadam peeche hat gaya. Us roshni ko
band karne ka ab koi tareeka nahi tha aur na hi un lasho ko bhagane
ka.
"Ye theek nahi hai.. ye theek nahi hai.." Mr Gupta badbada rahe the
aur unke chehre par dar ki lakeerein saaf sekhi ja sakti thi.
"Bhaiya... mujhe bahut dar lag raha hai.." rahul rote huye bola. Uski
awaaj sunte hi ek sath kayi stretchers se charmarane ki awaaj aayi.
"Sshhh.. awaaj neeche.. harshu.. ye achha sanket nahi hai.. tum logo
ko wo heera jaldi se dhoodkar yaha se nikalna hoga.." Mr Gupta ne
bahut hi dheemi awaaj mai kaha.
"Mujhe to lagta hai.. ye hume jaan-boojhkar yaha laye hai.. kyu hai
na.." aditya Mr Gupta ko aankh dikhate huye phusphusaya.
"Bas karo adi.. mujhe nahi lagta inhone aisa kuch kiya hai.. aur behtar
hoga ki tum apna dhyan heera dhoodne mai hi lagao.." apni kamar mai
dabi revolver bahar nikalte huye avinash dheere se bola. Uske hath mai gun dekhkar adi ek baar phir khamosh ho gaya.
Avinash ne us bulb ki taraf nishana lagaya aur jaise hi trigger dabane wala tha ki harshit ne use rok liya.
"Agar nishana chooka ya bulb goli lagne par bhi nahi phoota.. to goli ki
awaaj se ye sab murde jaag jayenge.." harshit ne uska gun wala hath
pakadte huye kaha. Ye sunkar avi ne apni gun neeche karli.
"Par hum use dhoode kaha.. yaha to in stretchers ke alawa kuch hai hi
nahi.." tanisha phusphusate huye boli.
Waha sch mai un stretchers ke alawa kuch naji tha. Bas kone mai ek
table par kuch surgical tools rakhe huye the.
"Inme to nahi hai.." un tools ko khangalte huye ankit bola.
"Itna hi asaan hota to phir baat hi kya thi.." harshit ne kaha.
"Kahi aisa to nahi ki hume.. in.. in stretchers ko.. uhhmm check karna
padega??" Thook gatakte huye tara ne poocha.
"Mujhe bhi yahi lag raha hai.." Mr Gupta ne bas itna hi kaha.
Ye sunkar sabki kapkapi chhut gayi aur pair aise jaam ho gaye mano
pathhar ke bane ho.
Kisi ki himmat nahi ho rahi thi aage badhne ki. Sab kisi murti ki tarah
khade the aur kabhi un stretchers ko to kabhi Mr Gupta ko dekh
rahe the.
"Ye kaam tum logo ko hi karna hoga.. mai khiladi nahi hu.. isliye tumhari isse jyada madad nahi kar sakta.. aur waise bhi us heere ko sirf tumhi log chhu sakte ho.." Mr Gupta ne unki nazro ko bhapte huye kaha.
"Aapko kaise pata??" Harshit ne poocha.
"Usi baune ne bataya tha.. levels clear karne ke liye jin cheezo ko pana hota hai unhe sirf khiladi hi chhu sakte hai.. aur...."
"Aur kaun??"
"Wo bauna khud.. uske alawa khud tashina bhi inhe nahi chhu sakta.."
Mr Gupta ne poori baat batayi aur phir bole, "Ghabrao nahi.. mai hu
na tumhare sath.. kuch nahi hoga.. tum log shuru to karo.."
"Theek hai.. agar aap kehte hai to.." harshit ne kaha aur ek stretcher
ki taraf badhne laga. Uska dil aaj tak kabhi itni tej nahi bhaga tha.
Uska rom-rom khada ho chuka tha aur hath buri tarah kaap rahe the.
"Bas unke chehre par torch ki roshni mat marna.. theek hai..." peeche
se mr gupta bole jisse harshit ki ghabrahat aur badh gayi.
Usne kaapte hatho se us stretcher par se chadar hatayi aur us lash
ko dekhte hi uski cheekh nikalne wali thi par usne turant hi apna hath
muh par rakh liya. Lash bilkul sadi-gali thi aur jagah-jagah se uska
maas gayab tha. Pet aur seene par maas bilkul bhi nahi tha jis karan
uski aantein, fefde, dil wagerah sab dikh rahe the. Laal roshni ki
vajah se wo lash aur bhi jyada darawani lag rahi thi. Wo lash Harshit
se mahaz ek foot ki doori par thi aur usko is waqt itna dar lag raha
tha ki uske hath-pair bilkul thande pad chuke the.
"Dekho uske aas-paas.. heera hai kya.." Mr Gupta bahut hi dheemi
awaaj mai bole taki sirf harshit unhe sun sake na ki wo lash.
Unki baat sunkar harshit ne darte-darte us stretcher aur us lash ke
aas-paas ek sarsari nigah dali. Waha kuch nahi mila to usne thook
gatakte huye uske khule pade seene ke andar jhaanka aur bola,
"N.nn..nn..nahi hai.."
"Theek hai.. wapas dhak do ise.. par dheere se.." Mr Gupta ne kaha to
harshit ne waisa hi kiya aur wapas apni jagah par aa gaya. Us lash se
door aakar use itna achha lag raha tha jitna use kabhi nahi laga tha.
"Dekha.. asaan hai.. chalo ab sab log aisa hi karo.. par poori sawdhani ke sath.. aur ye hamesha dhyan rakhna chahe kuch bhi ho jaye... unke chehre par torch ki roshni mat marna.. samajh gaye.." Mr Gupta ne baki sabse kaha.
Moni, rahul aur tara wahi Mr Gupta ke paas khade rahe aur baki
sabne agle 20 minute mai lagbhag poora morgue chhan mara. Sabhi
lasho ki halat us pehle wali jaisi hi thi. Abhi tak to sab kuch theek hi
chala tha aur kisi bhi lash ne uthne ki jehmat nahi uthayi thi. Ab sirf
do lashe hi bachi thi.
Harshit, ankit aur priya un dono lasho ke paas aaye aur dekhne lage ki
pehle kisko chune. Halaki ab tak in 20 minute mai wo kitne hi
stretchers ko check kar chuke the lekin phir bhi har baar chadar uthane unke hath-pair thande pad jate the. Himmat karke ankit ne ek lash se chadar utha hi diya.
"Yahi hai.. yahi hai.." us lash ko dekhte hi ankit ke muh se ye shabd khud-ba-khud nikal pade.

42. Level 2 Completed
Update 42
Jis lash ka parda ankit ne hataya tha uski halat hi bata rahi thi ki wo kuch khaas hai. Jaha baki lasho par maas dhoodna pad raha tha wahi ye lash bilkul sahi-salamat thi. Jaha baki lasho se sadi badboo aa rahi thi wahi ye lash bilkul taza lag rahi thi mano kuch hi ghanto purani ho.
Yaha tak ki shareer mai khoon ki lali saf dekhi ja sakti thi. Ye dono stretcher waise bhi baki sabse alag ek kone mai the jaha aas-paas aur koi stretcher nahi tha. Siway uske lambe nakhoono ke usme kuch bhi azeeb nahi tha. Ek baar to ankit bhi soch mai pad gaya ki kahi ye koi jinda shaks to nahi hai par safed pad chuka chehra aur tham chuki saansein bata rahi thi ki wo murda hi hai.
"Yahi hai wo lash.. mujhe yakeen hai heera isi ke aas-paas kahi hoga.."
ankit paas khade apne sathiyo se phusphusya.
"To dekh check kar na.. khada kyu hai.." adi bura sa muh banate huye
bola.
"Oye.. teri badtameezi tere dost sehan kar lenge.. mai nahi karunga..
aage se mujhse is tarah bol mat jaiyo..." uska tone sunkar ankit gusse
se bhadakte huye bola. Gusse ke karan uski awaaj ab kafi uchi ho
chuki thi phir bhi usne kafi control kiya hua tha.
"Warna kya.. haaaahhh... warna kya..." apni shirt ki dono bazuye upar
chadate huye adi bola.
"Bas karo tum dono.. kya bachho ki tarah ld rahe ho.. marwaoge kya
sabko..." priya dono par baraste huye boli jise sunkar wo dono ek
dusre ko ghoorte huye shant ho gaye.
"Tujhe hua kya hai adi.. tu lad kyu raha hai sabse.." priya ne uska
hath apne hatho mai lete huye poocha. Rahul aur moni thodi door Mr
Gupta ke sath khade ye tamasha dekh rahe the aur baar-baar unki
awaajo ke baad aas-paas mudkar dekh lete ki kahi kisi lash ki neend
to nahi kharab ho gayi. Wahi Mr Gupta shanti se khade the aur gaur se aditya ko padhne ki koshish kar rahe the.
Man hi man aditya ke andar bhi yahi antardwand chal raha tha. Wo khud ko kaabu karne ki jitni koshish karta par uski soch aur uski jubaan par se control chhutta ja raha tha.
"Ye koi dekho.. heera hai kya aas-paas kahi.." baat badalne ke maqsad se aditya bola.
Abhi to unki kismat achhi hi thi ki itne shor-sharabe ke bawjood bhi wo lashe abhi tak shant leti huyi thi par aisa jyada dair nahi rehne wala tha.
"Heera to yaha bhi kahi nahi hai..." kuch dair tak us stretcher ko
upar se lekar neeche tak poora tatolne ke baad ankit bola. Laal roshni
unke kaam ko aur mushkil bana rahi thi.
"Is lash ke neeche to nahi???" Pooja ne apni ashanka jahir ki. Uski
baat sunkar sabne use azeeb si nazro se dekha jaise usne bahut
darawani baat keh di ho.
"Kya... aise kyu dekh rahe ho.. ye possible hai.. h..hai na..." sabko
ghoorte dekh pooja boli.
"Ye dusri wali mai to nahi.." akhiri bachi lash ki taraf ishara karte
huye tara boli.
Uski baat sunkar us stretcher ke paas khadi pooja aur priya usse
turant door hat gayi. Abhi bhi ek stretcher baki hai ye to unhe dhyan
hi nahi tha. Harshit us stretcher ke paas aaya aur ek baar phir
kaapte hatho se chadar hata di.
"Sudhirr uncleeee..." chadar hatte hi harshit ke kadam ladkhada
gaye.
Ye shabd sunte hi Mr Gupta turant us stretcher ke paas aaye aur
apne dost ko us halat mai dekhkar unki aankhe baras padi.
Waha Sudhir uncle lete huye the usi halat mai jisme baki sabhi lashe
thi pichhli wali ko chhodkar. Dono pair abhi bhi ghutno ke neeche gayab the, seena phata pada tha jisse andar ke sare ang dikh rahe the, shareer par maas jagah-jagah latak raha tha, chehra kala pad chuka tha.
"Ohhhh... sudhirr... nooo..." wo us halat mai unhe dekh hi nahi paye..."
"Uncle stop please... is cheez se door rahiye.. hum nahi jante ki ye bhi hamari taraf hai ya nahi..." adi ne unhe samhalte huye kaha.
Ye sunkar Mr Gupta ne gusse se use dekha aur bole, "Ye koi 'cheeeeez' nahi hai.. ye mera dost hai.. sabse achha dost.. jiski ye halat sirf meri vajah se huyi hai.. aur tum keh rahe ho ki is 'cheez'
se door rahu??" Unki daant sunkar adi buri tarah seham gaya.
Unki awaaj ne kayi aur murdo ki shanti bhang kardi par phir bhi wo
sabhi abhi shant the. Shayad ye toofan se pehle ki shanti thi.
"Uncle.. adi sahi keh raha hai.." ye sunte hi Mr Gupta ne priya ko
ghoorkar dekha to wo boli, "mera matlab hai ki shayad sudhir uncle
ke sath yaha kuch kar diya gaya ho.. unki yaddasht mita di gayi ho..."
"Ya unke andar burayi bhar di gayi ho.." priya ki baat aditya ne poori
ki.
"Exactly.. mai bhi yahi kehna chah rahi hu.. hum yaha kisi par bhi
bharosa nahi kar sakte.." priya ne aage kaha.
"Mai theek hu.. mujhe kuch nahi hua.. marne ke baad bhi sab kuch
yaad hai mujhe.. phir sudhir kyu..."
"Aisi baat nahi hai uncle.. but sudhir uncle unhi ke sath the ab tak..
jabki aap yaha hamare sath the.. is beech ho sakta hai unke sath
unhone kuch kiya ho.. kya aap hum sabki life itni si baat ke liye risk
mai daal payenge??" Is baar priya ki baat unhe samajh aa gayi isliye
dukhi man ke sath wo peeche hat gaye.
"Heera to is stretcher par bhi kahi nahi hai.." adi ne poora stretcher
check karne ke baad kaha. Sudhir uncle ki lash bhi sad chuki thi aur unke phate seene aur pet se bhi sadi durgandh aa rahi thi jisse usse ulti si aa rahi thi.
"Heera to kahi nahi hai.. kahi ye galat jagah to nahi.." nirash hote huye ankit bola.
"Nahi.. mujhe nahi lagta ye galat jagah hai.. kyuki abhi bhi ek jagah reh gayi hai.." tanisha ne thoda aage aate huye kaha.
"Konsi??" Aditya harshit aur ankit ne ek sath poocha.
"Wo.. waha.." wapas usi normal lash ki taraf ishara karte huye tanisha
boli.
"Excuse me madam.. par hum use check kar chuke hai.." adi ne uska
mazak udate huye kaha.
"Nahi.. tum samjhe nahi.. wo lash alag thi.. hai na.. bilkul normal..
saaf-suthri.. baki lasho ke seene poore chire huye the.. andar ke sare
ang dikh rahe the.. par iske sath aisa nahi hai.." tanisha ne uska
mazak nazarandaz karte huye kaha.
"Tumh..hara.. mm.matlab heera.. i..iiis..l.llash kke..."
"Andar hai..." tara ki baat ko tanisha ne poora kiya.
"Shayad tanisha sahi hai.. tabhi to ye lash alag hai sabse.." Mr Gupta
ne kaha. Wo ab kafi sambhal chuke the.
"Papa.. tanisha.. aap log jante ho na kya keh rahe ho.. aap log chahte
ho hum is laash ko faade taki malum chale isme heera hai bhi ya
nahi.." Harshit ne kaha.
"Ha yahi karna hai tum logo ko.. aur jaldi karo.. mujhe ehsaas ho raha
hai ki ye lashe ab kisi bhi waqt jaag sakti hai.." Mr gupta ne kaha aur
turant un surgical tools ke paas gye aur usme se do knifes le aaye aur
ek-ek harshit aur ankit ko pakdate huye bole, "jaldi karo.."
"Kahi inka dimag to kharab nahi ho gaya hai.. lagta hai bhoot bankar
ye sochne-samajhne ki taqat kho chuke hai..." adi bahut hi halke se budbudaya jise koi aur nahi par Mr Gupta ne sun liya.
Uski baat sunkar Mr Gupta ne ek baar adi ko dekha aur phir harshit se bole, "Harshu.. tujhe apna waada yaad hai na.. tu yaha se sahi-salamat jayega.. aur sath hi pooja aur bakiyo ko bhi kuch nahi hone dega.."
"Yaad hai papa.."
"To iske liye tujhe kuch kade faisle lene honge.. tujhe kayi baar
mushkil aur aisi raahein chunni hongi jo na sirf anaitik hongi balki
vehshi bhi hongi.. par hamesha yaad rakhna unka sirf ek maqsad hona
chahiye.. apni aur apne dosto ki salamati.. ek ki jagah tujhe sabke liye
sochna hoga..." Mr Gupta ne iske aage harshit ke kaan mai kuch kaha.
Unki baat sunkar harshit ke chehre par dar, ascharya aur pareshani
ke bhaav ek sath aa-jaa rahe the.
"Yaad rakhna is baat ko... aur ye hamesha yaad rakhna tu akela nahi
hai.. tere paas dosti ki taqat hai jo badi se badi burayi ko maat de
sakti hai.. phir bhi tujhe jab bhi akelapan mehsoos ho mujhe yaad kar
lena.. tu mujhe apne aas-paas hi payega.. ab shuru hoja.. cheer daal is
lash ko.. aur nikal le heera.."
Unki baato ne harshit ke sath-sath bakiyo par bhi jaadu ki tarah
kaam kiya.
"Ankit ye knife mujhe de.. mujhe pata hai ye kaise karna hai.. mujhe
experience hai.." avinash ne kaha to sab uski taraf hairani se dekhne
lage.
Par unki nazro ki parwah kiye bagair avi ne ankit ke hath se knide liya
aur bina koi deri kiye seedhe us lash ke seene mai bilkul beech mai
cheera laga diya.
Aisa hote hi wo ho gaya jiska dar sabko tha. Ek sath kayi lashe uth
baithi aur unki taraf hi dekhne lagi. Rahul aur Moni cheekhte huye
priya se jakar lipat gaye.
"Heera isi mai hai.. ye saboot hai.. jaldi karo tum dono.." Mr Gupta uchi awaaj mai bole. Ab dheeme bolne ka koi matlab nahi tha.
Ye dekhkar harshit ne bhi turant ek aur cheera lagaya jisse us lash ke seene par ek "X" ka nishan ban gaya. Dusra cheera lagte hi kayi aur lashe uth baithi aur unme se kuch unki taraf badhne lagi. Ye
dekhkar Mr Gupta un lasho ki taraf lapak pade.
"Papaa.. nooo.." harshit chillaya.
"Tu apna kaam kar.. mujhe kuch nahi hoga.." Mr Gupta bhi chillaye aur
isi ke sath un lasho se bhid gaye. Unhone ek khali ho chuka stretcher
uthaya aur usi ke sath un lasho ko rokne ki koshish karne lage.
Ye dekhkar ki unke paas samay kam hai avi aur harshit ne kuch aur
gehre cheere lagaye. Unke dono hath taza khoon se lathpath ho
chuke the jinpar us lash ka thoda maas bhi atka hua tha
"Heera yaha bhi nahi hai.." harshit dar aur nirasha ke mile-jule bhaw
mai chillaya.
"Harshit... dil ke paas.. waha dekho.." tanisha ne kaha.
Ye sunkar harshit aur avi ne ek hi second mai uska dil poori tarah
cheer diya. Isi ke sath do baatein ek sath huyi. Jis lash ke sath wo
itni cheera-faadi kar rahe the sudhir uncle ki lash ke sath jaag uthi
wahi unhe uske dil ke paas hi chamakta hua takreeban 1inch ka wo
heera dikh gaya. Sudhir uncle tezi se apne kate pairo par daudte huye Mr Gupta ki peeth par chad gaye aur unhe yaha-waha katne-nochne lage.
"Sudhirrr... no... sud...." Mr Gupta bole par unpar koi asar nahi hua.
Apne hath-pair fekte huye unke paas padi wo lash fadfadane lagi aur isse pehle ki uske paine nakhoon unko cheer pate harshit ne turant andar hath dalkar wo heera nikal liya.
"Level 2 Completed... Proceed To Next Level..." heera nikalte hi ye awaaj goonji aur isi ke sath wo lash wala stretcher hilne laga.
Ye dekhkar harshit aur avi thoda peeche hat gaye. Unke hatte hi wo
stretcher ek hi pal mai us lash ko girata hua wo stretcher vertically
khada ho gaya. Abhi ye hua hi tha ki isi ke sath sudhir uncle wala
stretcher bhi apni jagah se hila aur phir wo bhi usi tezi ke sath waise
hi vertically khada ho gaya. Dono stretcher ek dusre se kareeb 3
foot door bilkul seedhe khade the.
Abhi ye azooba ghata hi tha ki ek aur azooba ghata. Un dono
stretchers ke beech ki jagah mai ab laal roshni ki jagah din ki safed
roshni dikh rahi thi.
"Ye hamara darwaza hai.. teesri level ka.." tara boli.
"Jaldi karo..." Mr Gupta chillaye. Wo lashe ab unse nahi samhal rahi thi aur sudhir uncle ki vajah se unhe aur pareshani ho rahi thi.
"Papa.. aap bhi chalo..." harshit rote hiye chillaya.
"Goooooooo......." apni poori taqat ke sath mr Gupta chillaye jise sunkar pooja ne harshit ka hath pakda aur use kheechte huye us darwaje mai chali gayi. Unke peeche-peeche pehle rahul moni aur priya, phir ankit aur tara aur phir avi adi aur tara bhi usme sama gaye.

Ye sunkar Mr Gupta ne gusse se use dekha aur bole, "Ye koi 'cheeeeez' nahi hai.. ye mera dost hai.. sabse achha dost.. jiski ye halat sirf meri vajah se huyi hai.. aur tum keh rahe ho ki is 'cheez'
se door rahu??" Unki daant sunkar adi buri tarah seham gaya.
Unki awaaj ne kayi aur murdo ki shanti bhang kardi par phir bhi wo
sabhi abhi shant the. Shayad ye toofan se pehle ki shanti thi.
"Uncle.. adi sahi keh raha hai.." ye sunte hi Mr Gupta ne priya ko
ghoorkar dekha to wo boli, "mera matlab hai ki shayad sudhir uncle
ke sath yaha kuch kar diya gaya ho.. unki yaddasht mita di gayi ho..."
"Ya unke andar burayi bhar di gayi ho.." priya ki baat aditya ne poori
ki.
"Exactly.. mai bhi yahi kehna chah rahi hu.. hum yaha kisi par bhi
bharosa nahi kar sakte.." priya ne aage kaha.
"Mai theek hu.. mujhe kuch nahi hua.. marne ke baad bhi sab kuch
yaad hai mujhe.. phir sudhir kyu..."
"Aisi baat nahi hai uncle.. but sudhir uncle unhi ke sath the ab tak..
jabki aap yaha hamare sath the.. is beech ho sakta hai unke sath
unhone kuch kiya ho.. kya aap hum sabki life itni si baat ke liye risk
mai daal payenge??" Is baar priya ki baat unhe samajh aa gayi isliye
dukhi man ke sath wo peeche hat gaye.
"Heera to is stretcher par bhi kahi nahi hai.." adi ne poora stretcher
check karne ke baad kaha. Sudhir uncle ki lash bhi sad chuki thi aur unke phate seene aur pet se bhi sadi durgandh aa rahi thi jisse usse ulti si aa rahi thi.
"Heera to kahi nahi hai.. kahi ye galat jagah to nahi.." nirash hote huye ankit bola.
"Nahi.. mujhe nahi lagta ye galat jagah hai.. kyuki abhi bhi ek jagah reh gayi hai.." tanisha ne thoda aage aate huye kaha.
"Konsi??" Aditya harshit aur ankit ne ek sath poocha.
"Wo.. waha.." wapas usi normal lash ki taraf ishara karte huye tanisha
boli.
"Excuse me madam.. par hum use check kar chuke hai.." adi ne uska
mazak udate huye kaha.
"Nahi.. tum samjhe nahi.. wo lash alag thi.. hai na.. bilkul normal..
saaf-suthri.. baki lasho ke seene poore chire huye the.. andar ke sare
ang dikh rahe the.. par iske sath aisa nahi hai.." tanisha ne uska
mazak nazarandaz karte huye kaha.
"Tumh..hara.. mm.matlab heera.. i..iiis..l.llash kke..."
"Andar hai..." tara ki baat ko tanisha ne poora kiya.
"Shayad tanisha sahi hai.. tabhi to ye lash alag hai sabse.." Mr Gupta
ne kaha. Wo ab kafi sambhal chuke the.
"Papa.. tanisha.. aap log jante ho na kya keh rahe ho.. aap log chahte
ho hum is laash ko faade taki malum chale isme heera hai bhi ya
nahi.." Harshit ne kaha.
"Ha yahi karna hai tum logo ko.. aur jaldi karo.. mujhe ehsaas ho raha
hai ki ye lashe ab kisi bhi waqt jaag sakti hai.." Mr gupta ne kaha aur
turant un surgical tools ke paas gye aur usme se do knifes le aaye aur
ek-ek harshit aur ankit ko pakdate huye bole, "jaldi karo.."
"Kahi inka dimag to kharab nahi ho gaya hai.. lagta hai bhoot bankar
ye sochne-samajhne ki taqat kho chuke hai..." adi bahut hi halke se budbudaya jise koi aur nahi par Mr Gupta ne sun liya.
Uski baat sunkar Mr Gupta ne ek baar adi ko dekha aur phir harshit se bole, "Harshu.. tujhe apna waada yaad hai na.. tu yaha se sahi-salamat jayega.. aur sath hi pooja aur bakiyo ko bhi kuch nahi hone dega.."
"Yaad hai papa.."
"To iske liye tujhe kuch kade faisle lene honge.. tujhe kayi baar
mushkil aur aisi raahein chunni hongi jo na sirf anaitik hongi balki
vehshi bhi hongi.. par hamesha yaad rakhna unka sirf ek maqsad hona
chahiye.. apni aur apne dosto ki salamati.. ek ki jagah tujhe sabke liye
sochna hoga..." Mr Gupta ne iske aage harshit ke kaan mai kuch kaha.
Unki baat sunkar harshit ke chehre par dar, ascharya aur pareshani
ke bhaav ek sath aa-jaa rahe the.
"Yaad rakhna is baat ko... aur ye hamesha yaad rakhna tu akela nahi
hai.. tere paas dosti ki taqat hai jo badi se badi burayi ko maat de
sakti hai.. phir bhi tujhe jab bhi akelapan mehsoos ho mujhe yaad kar
lena.. tu mujhe apne aas-paas hi payega.. ab shuru hoja.. cheer daal is
lash ko.. aur nikal le heera.."
Unki baato ne harshit ke sath-sath bakiyo par bhi jaadu ki tarah
kaam kiya.
"Ankit ye knife mujhe de.. mujhe pata hai ye kaise karna hai.. mujhe
experience hai.." avinash ne kaha to sab uski taraf hairani se dekhne
lage.
Par unki nazro ki parwah kiye bagair avi ne ankit ke hath se knide liya
aur bina koi deri kiye seedhe us lash ke seene mai bilkul beech mai
cheera laga diya.
Aisa hote hi wo ho gaya jiska dar sabko tha. Ek sath kayi lashe uth
baithi aur unki taraf hi dekhne lagi. Rahul aur Moni cheekhte huye
priya se jakar lipat gaye.
"Heera isi mai hai.. ye saboot hai.. jaldi karo tum dono.." Mr Gupta uchi awaaj mai bole. Ab dheeme bolne ka koi matlab nahi tha.
Ye dekhkar harshit ne bhi turant ek aur cheera lagaya jisse us lash ke seene par ek "X" ka nishan ban gaya. Dusra cheera lagte hi kayi aur lashe uth baithi aur unme se kuch unki taraf badhne lagi. Ye
dekhkar Mr Gupta un lasho ki taraf lapak pade.
"Papaa.. nooo.." harshit chillaya.
"Tu apna kaam kar.. mujhe kuch nahi hoga.." Mr Gupta bhi chillaye aur
isi ke sath un lasho se bhid gaye. Unhone ek khali ho chuka stretcher
uthaya aur usi ke sath un lasho ko rokne ki koshish karne lage.
Ye dekhkar ki unke paas samay kam hai avi aur harshit ne kuch aur
gehre cheere lagaye. Unke dono hath taza khoon se lathpath ho
chuke the jinpar us lash ka thoda maas bhi atka hua tha
"Heera yaha bhi nahi hai.." harshit dar aur nirasha ke mile-jule bhaw
mai chillaya.
"Harshit... dil ke paas.. waha dekho.." tanisha ne kaha.
Ye sunkar harshit aur avi ne ek hi second mai uska dil poori tarah
cheer diya. Isi ke sath do baatein ek sath huyi. Jis lash ke sath wo
itni cheera-faadi kar rahe the sudhir uncle ki lash ke sath jaag uthi
wahi unhe uske dil ke paas hi chamakta hua takreeban 1inch ka wo
heera dikh gaya. Sudhir uncle tezi se apne kate pairo par daudte huye Mr Gupta ki peeth par chad gaye aur unhe yaha-waha katne-nochne lage.
"Sudhirrr... no... sud...." Mr Gupta bole par unpar koi asar nahi hua.
Apne hath-pair fekte huye unke paas padi wo lash fadfadane lagi aur isse pehle ki uske paine nakhoon unko cheer pate harshit ne turant andar hath dalkar wo heera nikal liya.
"Level 2 Completed... Proceed To Next Level..." heera nikalte hi ye awaaj goonji aur isi ke sath wo lash wala stretcher hilne laga.
Ye dekhkar harshit aur avi thoda peeche hat gaye. Unke hatte hi wo
stretcher ek hi pal mai us lash ko girata hua wo stretcher vertically
khada ho gaya. Abhi ye hua hi tha ki isi ke sath sudhir uncle wala
stretcher bhi apni jagah se hila aur phir wo bhi usi tezi ke sath waise
hi vertically khada ho gaya. Dono stretcher ek dusre se kareeb 3
foot door bilkul seedhe khade the.
Abhi ye azooba ghata hi tha ki ek aur azooba ghata. Un dono
stretchers ke beech ki jagah mai ab laal roshni ki jagah din ki safed
roshni dikh rahi thi.
"Ye hamara darwaza hai.. teesri level ka.." tara boli.
"Jaldi karo..." Mr Gupta chillaye. Wo lashe ab unse nahi samhal rahi thi aur sudhir uncle ki vajah se unhe aur pareshani ho rahi thi.
"Papa.. aap bhi chalo..." harshit rote hiye chillaya.
"Goooooooo......." apni poori taqat ke sath mr Gupta chillaye jise sunkar pooja ne harshit ka hath pakda aur use kheechte huye us darwaje mai chali gayi. Unke peeche-peeche pehle rahul moni aur priya, phir ankit aur tara aur phir avi adi aur tara bhi usme sama gaye.

43. Level 3: Amusement Park
Update 43
Aankho ko chubhlane wali laal roshni se nikalkar wo log is waqt ek khuli jagah mai khade the. Suraj ki tej dhoop unke chehro par pad rahi thi.
"Ye.. ye hai teesri levellll??" Aankhe faade samne ka nazara dekhte huye avi bola.
Uska chaunkna swabhawik tha kyuki jo nazara unke samne thauski
unhone kabhi kalpna hi nahi ki thi. Wo log is waqt ek amusement park
ke gate par khade the. Jameen par cement tiles bichi huyi thi.
Peeche palatkar dekha to paya entrance wala kareeb 8-10 foot ucha
jalidar gate tha jispar ek mota sa taala latka hua tha par uske sath
ek azeeb baat bhi thi.
"Yaha peeche itni dhund kyu hai??" Gate ke peeche mojoud dhund ki
taraf ishara karte huye tara boli.
"Kya pata... ho sakta hai shayad isliye kyuki wo is level ka hissa nahi
hoga.." ankit bhi us dhund ko dekhte huye bola.
Harshit ke kaano mai is waqt aas-paas wo log kya keh rahe hai kuch
nahi pahuch raha tha. Wo abhi bhi apne papa ke bare mai hi soch rah
tha.
"Hum logo ko wapas jana hoga.. unki madad karni hogi..." harshit apni
soch se bahar aate huye bola.
"Harshit ummmm..." pooja uska hath dubara pakadte huye boli, "Hum
wapas nahi ja sakte.. darwaja ja chuka hai.. ye ek tarfa rasta tha harshit.. koi wapasi nahi hai..."
"Hume koshish to karni hi chahiye.. ho sakta hai is dhund ke peeche wahi murda-ghar ho.. yaha kuch bhi ho sakta hai.." harshit ne uske hath par apna dusra hath rakhte huye kaha.
"Chalo maan lo hum waha pahuch gaye.. phir uske baad kya hmmm?? Tumhare papa mar chuke hai harshit.. hum unki koi madad nahi kar sakte.." aditya ne uske kandhe ko dabate huye kaha.
"Mai phir bhi koshish karunga..." kehte huye harshit bina ek pal deri kiye us jalidar gate par chad gaya.
"HARSHITTT...." ek sath kayi log chillaye par unhe undekha karte huye harshit chadta hi raha. Use rukta na dekh pooja bhi uske peeche chadne lagi. Gate kafi slippery tha jise unhe kafi pareshani horahi thi par uski banawat kuch aisi thi ki usme pair asaani se
fasaya ja sakta tha. Pooja ke peeche baki sab log bhi gate par chad
gaye siway ankit, tara aur aditya ke. Ab tak harshit dusri taraf
pahuch chuka tha aur gate se bas utar hi raha tha. Tara ke liye to ye
kaam ab namumkin tha isliye ankit bhi apni behan ke sth wahi ruka
raha jabki aditya ke liye in sb cheezo ka koi matlab hi nahi tha isliye
wo isme unke sath bhi nahi tha.
"Kaha mai pehle bade-bade pahado par kitni asaani se chad jati thi..
par ab...." apne rock-climbing wale dino ko yaad karte huye tara
ruansi ho uthi aur apne stump(ukhde hath) ko dekhne lagi.
"Tara aise nirash nahi hote.. tu phir se pahaad chad payegi.. bharosa
rakh.. tere liye mai best treatment karwaunga.. jo bhi is duniya mai
mumkin ho sakega wo tere liye karwaunga.. bas tu himmat na harna..."
use dilasa dete huye ankit bola aur isse pehle ki tara ro pade usne
use seene se laga liya.
"Ssshhhhh..... rote nahi hai... tu to meri ladaku billli hai na..." uski
peeth par hath ferte huye ankit bola to tara ki ankhe akhir beh hi
padi. Wahi ankit ki aankhe bhi nam thi thi aur tara ke bhawishya ki
chinta use khaye ja rahi thi. Achanak usne aas-paas kuch azeeb
cheez mehsoos ki aur jab palatkar aditya ki taraf dekha to uska muh
bhi hairani se phata hua tha.
Harshit ke peeche-peeche pooja aur phir baki paacho log bhi dusri taraf utar gaye. Sabse peeche moni aur rahul the jinhe harshit aur avinash sahara dekar utar rahe the. Jaise hi unhone un dono ko utara aur peeche palatkar dekha to unki chehre bhi dehshat ke mare khule reh gaye. Turant unhone gate ki taeaf dekha to unhe yakeen ho gaya ki jo wo dekh rahe hai wo sach hai. Wo log amusement park ke andar hi khade the jabki ankit, aditya aur tara gate ke dusri taraf dhund mai khade the.
"Ye..ye.. impossible hai.. ye..ye nahi ho sakta..." harshit dar ke mare
gate se door hatte huye bola.
Aditya aur ankit gate ke dusri taraf se jaha dehshat se usi ko dekh
rahe the wahi tara ki aankhe rone ke karan abhi bhi band thi aur wo
ankit se chipke huye hi khadi thi.
"T..t..tara...." ankit ne haklate huye kaha.
Uski awaaj mai dar mehsoos kar jaise hi tara ne aankhe kholi apne
aas-paas mojoud dhund ko dekhkar wo ghabra gayi.
"Hum yaha.. kaise??" Ankit se alag hote huye wo boli.
Abhi aage ankit ya koi or kuch bol pata isse pehle hi tej dahad waha
goonj uthi jo ankit, tara aur aditya ke peeche us dhund mai se aayi
thi. Ye kisi bhayanak jaanwar ki dahad thi jo itni tej aur darawani thi
ki tara ladkhadate huye peeche hatiaur santulan khokar gir padi.
"Tum log... jaldi karo... idhar aa jao.. fauran.." dahad sunte hi harshit
turant un teeno se bola.
Yeh sunte hi aditya turant us jalidar gate par chad gaya aur upar
chadne laga. Ankit ne bhi uski baat mani aur pehle tara ko sahara
diya aur phir uske peeche-peeche khud bhi chadne laga. Abhi usne
chadna shuru kiya hi tha ki ek baar phir wo dahad waha goonji aur is
baar kafi nazdeek se aati mehsoos huyi. Aur is baar ye akeli nahi thi
balki ek sath kayi dahad waha goonji thi. Tara ko waise hi ek hath ki vajah se chadne mai kafi pareshani ho rahi thi upar se ye awaajein sunkar uske hath-pair hi thande pad gaye. Uski pakad chhut gayi aur wo ankit ko sath lete huye neeche gir padi. In dono ko girta dekh aditya ek pal ke liye ruka aur phir wapas chadne laga. Top par pahuchkar wo dusri taraf ghuma aur phir wahi se neeche kood gaya aur andar pahuch gaya. Ab bahar sirf ankit aur tara hi reh gaye the. Ek baar phir kayi dahade waha goonji aur is baar aur bhi nazdeek se aati mehsoos huyi.
"Tara uth.. jaldi kar.. hume jaldi se andar pahuchna hoga.." apne
kapde jhadta aur bag-pack samhalta ankit bola.
"I.. can't do it.. mai nahi kar paungi.. tu chala ja mere bina.." tara sir
jhukate huye boli.
"Ha tu kar payegi.. chal uth.." kehte huye usne tara ka dusra hath
pakda aur use kheech kar khada kar diya aur wapas gate ki taraf
karte huye bola, "chal chadna shuru kar.. jaldi kar.. jab tak tu nahi
chadegi mai bhi nahi chadunga.."
"I can't do that..." tara phir rote huye boli.
"Yes you can..." itna kehkar usne tara ko upar ki taraf dhakela jisse
apne aap hi tara ka hath us gate par jam gaya aur wo phir se upar
chadne ki koshish karne lagi. Dikkat use ab bhi ho rahi thi par is baar
usne bhi soch liya tha ki apni kamzori ko wo apni aur apne bhai ki jaan
nahi lene degi.
"Hurry guys... jaldi karo.. wo paas aa rahe hai.." pooja un dono se boli.
Yeh sunkar dono ne palatkar dekha us dhund mai kuch akritiya dekhi
dikh rahi thi jo teji se unke paas aa rahi thi. Ye kuch jaanwar jaisi
akritiya thi jo kafi badi thi aur daudte huye unki taraf badh rahi thi.
Unhe dekhkar jaha tara ne apni speed badhayi wahi ankit ne bhi
chadna shuru kar diya. Unki madad karne ke liye harshit aur avinash
bhi andar wali side se gate par chad gaye taki unki madad kar sake
wahi aditya chuchap khada ye tamasha dekh raha tha.
Tara kisi tarah upar tak pahuch hi gayi jaha harshit aur avinash ne
use samhal liya aur uski madad karne lage dusri taraf utarne mai.
Wahi ankit abhi 3/4 raste hi pahucha tha ki achanak dhadhadate
huye wo jaanwar waha aaye aur kafi taqat ke sath us darwaje se
takraye. Wo teen the aur kafi gusse mai lag rahe the. Wo kisi kutte aur vanmanush ki mix-breed jaise dikh rahe the jinke behad nukile daat the aur rang matmaila tha. Jis taqat se wo takraye the, agar ankit ne unko aata dekh gate ko poori taqat ke sath na jakad rakha hota to uska girna tay tha. Par tara, avi aur harshit ki pakad utni
mazboot nahi thi isliye wo ek jhatke ke sath door ja gire.
Ankit ne neeche dekha to wo jaanwar usi ki taraf dekhkar gurra rahe
the aur ek to uchhal kar use pakadne ki koshish bhi kar raha tha par
wo bas kuch inch hi reh jata tha. Baki dono janwar khade ab andar
mojoud baki sabhi ko ghoor rahe the.
"Hurry up ankit... jaldi kar..." pooja aur priya dono ek sath chillayi.
Avi tara aur harshit ko girne se halaki koi chot to nahi aayi thipar sir
teeno kehi chakra rahe the. Unke backpack ne unka jhatka samhal
liya tha.
Unki awaaj sunkar ankit ne wapas chadna shuru kiya. Ye dekhkar wo
uchhal raha jaanwar peeche hata aur phir usi tarah gate se takraya.
Isse ankit ke ek hath ki pakad chhut gayi par dusre hath ke sahare
wo phir bhi latka hi raha. Usne turant khud ko samhala aur upar top
tak pahuch gaya. Waha pahuchkar usne dusri taraf jaise hi utarna
shuru kiya wo janwar jaise dhund mai aaye the waise hi dhund mai
gayab ho gaye. Ye dekhkar ankit ne rahat ki saans li aur araam se
bina kisi hadbadahat ke wo dusri taraf utar gaya.
"Tu theek to hai na..." utarte hi usne tara se poocha.
"Ha theek hu.. bas sir ghoom raha hai thoda.. par ye abhi abhi hua
kya.. wo jaanwar kaun the.." tara ne apna sir pakadte huye poocha.
"Jaha tak mujhe yaad aata hai.. ye janwar is game ke rakhwale hai shayad.. 10th season mai jab ek contestant 5th level mai level ke bahar chali gayi thi tab bhi yahi jaanwar dikhaye gaye the jinhone us ladki ko..." Tanisha ne dimag par jor dalte huye kaha.
"Ha wo episode yaad hai mujhe.. uska naam shayad damini tha.. level kisi factory ki thi.. usne bhi aise hi galti se gate paar kar liya tha jiske baad in janwaro ne use gher liya tha.. par aage kya hua ye hamesha ki tarah kabhi nahi dikhaya.. usi ke paas us waqt omni-letter tha jis karan un logo ka khel 5th level par hi khatam ho gaya tha.." Avinash ne kaha.
"Are omni-letter se dhyan aaya.. apna omni-letter kiske paas hai??" Pooja ne poocha.
"Mere paas hai.." ankit ne kaha.
"To nikal na.. dekh kya dhoodna hai ab hume.." aditya yeh sunkar tapaak se bola.
Uski baat sunkar ankit ne apne bag mai se letter nikala aur usme chhap chuke naye aksharo ko padhne laga.
"Boond naye jiwan ki kaid karke,
Maine bhi payi jindagi hai..
Hasne ki chahat hai agar to aao mere paas, Jindagi ka dusra naam bhi to hasi hai.."

Update 43
Aankho ko chubhlane wali laal roshni se nikalkar wo log is waqt ek khuli jagah mai khade the. Suraj ki tej dhoop unke chehro par pad rahi thi.
"Ye.. ye hai teesri levellll??" Aankhe faade samne ka nazara dekhte huye avi bola.

"Hume koshish to karni hi chahiye.. ho sakta hai is dhund ke peeche wahi murda-ghar ho.. yaha kuch bhi ho sakta hai.." harshit ne uske hath par apna dusra hath rakhte huye kaha.
"Chalo maan lo hum waha pahuch gaye.. phir uske baad kya hmmm?? Tumhare papa mar chuke hai harshit.. hum unki koi madad nahi kar sakte.." aditya ne uske kandhe ko dabate huye kaha.
"Mai phir bhi koshish karunga..." kehte huye harshit bina ek pal deri kiye us jalidar gate par chad gaya.
"HARSHITTT...." ek sath kayi log chillaye par unhe undekha karte huye harshit chadta hi raha. Use rukta na dekh pooja bhi uske peeche chadne lagi. Gate kafi slippery tha jise unhe kafi pareshani horahi thi par uski banawat kuch aisi thi ki usme pair asaani se

kaam ab namumkin tha isliye ankit bhi apni behan ke sth wahi ruka
raha jabki aditya ke liye in sb cheezo ka koi matlab hi nahi tha isliye
wo isme unke sath bhi nahi tha.
"Kaha mai pehle bade-bade pahado par kitni asaani se chad jati thi..
par ab...." apne rock-climbing wale dino ko yaad karte huye tara
ruansi ho uthi aur apne stump(ukhde hath) ko dekhne lagi.
"Tara aise nirash nahi hote.. tu phir se pahaad chad payegi.. bharosa
rakh.. tere liye mai best treatment karwaunga.. jo bhi is duniya mai
mumkin ho sakega wo tere liye karwaunga.. bas tu himmat na harna..."
use dilasa dete huye ankit bola aur isse pehle ki tara ro pade usne
use seene se laga liya.
"Ssshhhhh..... rote nahi hai... tu to meri ladaku billli hai na..." uski
peeth par hath ferte huye ankit bola to tara ki ankhe akhir beh hi
padi. Wahi ankit ki aankhe bhi nam thi thi aur tara ke bhawishya ki
chinta use khaye ja rahi thi. Achanak usne aas-paas kuch azeeb
cheez mehsoos ki aur jab palatkar aditya ki taraf dekha to uska muh

Harshit ke peeche-peeche pooja aur phir baki paacho log bhi dusri taraf utar gaye. Sabse peeche moni aur rahul the jinhe harshit aur avinash sahara dekar utar rahe the. Jaise hi unhone un dono ko utara aur peeche palatkar dekha to unki chehre bhi dehshat ke mare khule reh gaye. Turant unhone gate ki taeaf dekha to unhe yakeen ho gaya ki jo wo dekh rahe hai wo sach hai. Wo log amusement park ke andar hi khade the jabki ankit, aditya aur tara gate ke dusri taraf dhund mai khade the.
"Ye..ye.. impossible hai.. ye..ye nahi ho sakta..." harshit dar ke mare
gate se door hatte huye bola.
Aditya aur ankit gate ke dusri taraf se jaha dehshat se usi ko dekh
rahe the wahi tara ki aankhe rone ke karan abhi bhi band thi aur wo
ankit se chipke huye hi khadi thi.
"T..t..tara...." ankit ne haklate huye kaha.
Uski awaaj mai dar mehsoos kar jaise hi tara ne aankhe kholi apne
aas-paas mojoud dhund ko dekhkar wo ghabra gayi.
"Hum yaha.. kaise??" Ankit se alag hote huye wo boli.
Abhi aage ankit ya koi or kuch bol pata isse pehle hi tej dahad waha
goonj uthi jo ankit, tara aur aditya ke peeche us dhund mai se aayi
thi. Ye kisi bhayanak jaanwar ki dahad thi jo itni tej aur darawani thi
ki tara ladkhadate huye peeche hatiaur santulan khokar gir padi.
"Tum log... jaldi karo... idhar aa jao.. fauran.." dahad sunte hi harshit
turant un teeno se bola.
Yeh sunte hi aditya turant us jalidar gate par chad gaya aur upar

baar kafi nazdeek se aati mehsoos huyi. Aur is baar ye akeli nahi thi
balki ek sath kayi dahad waha goonji thi. Tara ko waise hi ek hath ki vajah se chadne mai kafi pareshani ho rahi thi upar se ye awaajein sunkar uske hath-pair hi thande pad gaye. Uski pakad chhut gayi aur wo ankit ko sath lete huye neeche gir padi. In dono ko girta dekh aditya ek pal ke liye ruka aur phir wapas chadne laga. Top par pahuchkar wo dusri taraf ghuma aur phir wahi se neeche kood gaya aur andar pahuch gaya. Ab bahar sirf ankit aur tara hi reh gaye the. Ek baar phir kayi dahade waha goonji aur is baar aur bhi nazdeek se aati mehsoos huyi.
"Tara uth.. jaldi kar.. hume jaldi se andar pahuchna hoga.." apne
kapde jhadta aur bag-pack samhalta ankit bola.
"I.. can't do it.. mai nahi kar paungi.. tu chala ja mere bina.." tara sir
jhukate huye boli.
"Ha tu kar payegi.. chal uth.." kehte huye usne tara ka dusra hath
pakda aur use kheech kar khada kar diya aur wapas gate ki taraf
karte huye bola, "chal chadna shuru kar.. jaldi kar.. jab tak tu nahi
chadegi mai bhi nahi chadunga.."
"I can't do that..." tara phir rote huye boli.
"Yes you can..." itna kehkar usne tara ko upar ki taraf dhakela jisse
apne aap hi tara ka hath us gate par jam gaya aur wo phir se upar
chadne ki koshish karne lagi. Dikkat use ab bhi ho rahi thi par is baar
usne bhi soch liya tha ki apni kamzori ko wo apni aur apne bhai ki jaan
nahi lene degi.
"Hurry guys... jaldi karo.. wo paas aa rahe hai.." pooja un dono se boli.
Yeh sunkar dono ne palatkar dekha us dhund mai kuch akritiya dekhi
dikh rahi thi jo teji se unke paas aa rahi thi. Ye kuch jaanwar jaisi
akritiya thi jo kafi badi thi aur daudte huye unki taraf badh rahi thi.
Unhe dekhkar jaha tara ne apni speed badhayi wahi ankit ne bhi
chadna shuru kar diya. Unki madad karne ke liye harshit aur avinash
bhi andar wali side se gate par chad gaye taki unki madad kar sake
wahi aditya chuchap khada ye tamasha dekh raha tha.
Tara kisi tarah upar tak pahuch hi gayi jaha harshit aur avinash ne
use samhal liya aur uski madad karne lage dusri taraf utarne mai.
Wahi ankit abhi 3/4 raste hi pahucha tha ki achanak dhadhadate
huye wo jaanwar waha aaye aur kafi taqat ke sath us darwaje se
takraye. Wo teen the aur kafi gusse mai lag rahe the. Wo kisi kutte aur vanmanush ki mix-breed jaise dikh rahe the jinke behad nukile daat the aur rang matmaila tha. Jis taqat se wo takraye the, agar ankit ne unko aata dekh gate ko poori taqat ke sath na jakad rakha hota to uska girna tay tha. Par tara, avi aur harshit ki pakad utni
mazboot nahi thi isliye wo ek jhatke ke sath door ja gire.
Ankit ne neeche dekha to wo jaanwar usi ki taraf dekhkar gurra rahe
the aur ek to uchhal kar use pakadne ki koshish bhi kar raha tha par
wo bas kuch inch hi reh jata tha. Baki dono janwar khade ab andar
mojoud baki sabhi ko ghoor rahe the.
"Hurry up ankit... jaldi kar..." pooja aur priya dono ek sath chillayi.
Avi tara aur harshit ko girne se halaki koi chot to nahi aayi thipar sir
teeno kehi chakra rahe the. Unke backpack ne unka jhatka samhal
liya tha.
Unki awaaj sunkar ankit ne wapas chadna shuru kiya. Ye dekhkar wo
uchhal raha jaanwar peeche hata aur phir usi tarah gate se takraya.
Isse ankit ke ek hath ki pakad chhut gayi par dusre hath ke sahare
wo phir bhi latka hi raha. Usne turant khud ko samhala aur upar top
tak pahuch gaya. Waha pahuchkar usne dusri taraf jaise hi utarna
shuru kiya wo janwar jaise dhund mai aaye the waise hi dhund mai
gayab ho gaye. Ye dekhkar ankit ne rahat ki saans li aur araam se
bina kisi hadbadahat ke wo dusri taraf utar gaya.
"Tu theek to hai na..." utarte hi usne tara se poocha.
"Ha theek hu.. bas sir ghoom raha hai thoda.. par ye abhi abhi hua
kya.. wo jaanwar kaun the.." tara ne apna sir pakadte huye poocha.
"Jaha tak mujhe yaad aata hai.. ye janwar is game ke rakhwale hai shayad.. 10th season mai jab ek contestant 5th level mai level ke bahar chali gayi thi tab bhi yahi jaanwar dikhaye gaye the jinhone us ladki ko..." Tanisha ne dimag par jor dalte huye kaha.
"Ha wo episode yaad hai mujhe.. uska naam shayad damini tha.. level kisi factory ki thi.. usne bhi aise hi galti se gate paar kar liya tha jiske baad in janwaro ne use gher liya tha.. par aage kya hua ye hamesha ki tarah kabhi nahi dikhaya.. usi ke paas us waqt omni-letter tha jis karan un logo ka khel 5th level par hi khatam ho gaya tha.." Avinash ne kaha.
"Are omni-letter se dhyan aaya.. apna omni-letter kiske paas hai??" Pooja ne poocha.
"Mere paas hai.." ankit ne kaha.
"To nikal na.. dekh kya dhoodna hai ab hume.." aditya yeh sunkar tapaak se bola.
Uski baat sunkar ankit ne apne bag mai se letter nikala aur usme chhap chuke naye aksharo ko padhne laga.
"Boond naye jiwan ki kaid karke,
Maine bhi payi jindagi hai..
Hasne ki chahat hai agar to aao mere paas, Jindagi ka dusra naam bhi to hasi hai.."

Update 44
Flashback:
Riya ki dardnaak cheekh poori gufa mai goonj gayi. Gufa ki deewar se takrane ke karan uska pair buri tarah chhil gaya tha jisse kafi khoon beh raha tha aur use bahut dard ho raha tha. Uske sir mai bhi kafi chot aayi thi aur waha se bhi khoon beh raha tha.
"Riyaaaaa...... riyaaaaa.... kya hua???" riya ka hath chhutte hi neerav ne cheekhte huye poocha.
Gufa mai itna andhera tha ki kisi ko kuch nahi dikh raha tha. Riya ke
girne aur phir uske cheekhne ki awaaj sunkar neerav ruk gaya tha
wahi salma itni dari huyi thi ki wo neerav se hath chhutakar bhagti hi
rahi.
"Salmaaa!! Rukkk...." neerav awaaj lagata reh gaya par usne suna hi
nahi.
Wo andhere mai tatolta hua peeche riya ke paas aaya aur jab usko
farsh par karahte huye paya to uski bhi rulayi chhut gayi.
"Riya uth na... wo pakad lenge tujhe bhi.." neerav ne lagbhag rote
huye kaha. Use mehsoos ho raha tha ki aas-paas thand badh rahi hai.
"Mera pair... mai nahi chak sakti..." dard se karahte huye riya boli.
"Riya... koshish kar... please.."
"Mujhe bahut dard ho raha hai.. mera pair.. lagta hai toot gaya hai.."
dard se rote huye riya boli.
Apne bag se torch nikalte huye rahul bola, "kuch nahi hua... mai
uthata hu tere ko..."
Torch ki roshni mai neerav ne dekha riya ka pair buri tarah chhil
gaya hai aur usme se khoon beh raha hai. Riya jaha giri thi waha gufa
do hisso mai bat rahi thi aur usi ki deewar se takra kar wo apna pair
tudwa baithi thi. Abhi neerav riya ko sahara dekar utha hi raha tha
ki achanak salma ki tej cheekh unhe sunayi di.
Aage salma bhage ja rahi thi andhere mai. Wo itni jyada dari huyi thi
ki usne dekha hi nahi ki neerav aur riya peeche chhut gaye hai.
Bhagte-bhagte akhir jab uski saans phoolne lagi to wo ruk gayi. Aaspaas kafi thand thi isliye bhi uski saansein kuch jaldi foolne lagi thi.
"Neerav... kaha hai?? Riya??" Andhere mai tatolte huye salma haafte huye boli. Lekin Jawab mai sirf sannata hi aaya.
"N...neerav?? Riyaaaa??" Koi jawab na pakar salma ne is baar dartedarte jawab lagayi par jawab is baar bhi wahi tha.
Yeh mehsoos karte hi ki is waqt wo bilkul akeli hai usne bina ek pal ki
deri kiye apna bag utara aur usme turant torch nikal li.
"Chal ja... chal ja.." usne do-teen baar torch ko jhatka aur thoka par
wo nahi chali.
Achanak usne mehsoos kiya ki samne se koi cheese uski taraf aa rahi
hai. Bina torch ke aise gupp andhere mai ye mehsoos karte hi uski
kapkapi chhut gayi. Uske hath-pair buri tarah kaap rahe the aur
dimag bilkul sunn pad chuka tha.
"Kkk...k.kaun h..h..ai??" Kisi tarah apne gale mai thodi jaan fookte
huye wo bharbharayi.
Wo abhi boli hi thi ki kisi ne samne se uske dono kandhe pakad liye.
Bina ek pal ki deri kiye salma poori taqat se cheekhi jise sunkar us
cheese ne apne hath uske kandhe se hata liye aur uske muh par rakh
diye.
"Ye to salma ki cheekh thi na.. maine roka tha use par wo to bhagti hi
chali gayi.." ankit ne jaldi se apne sahare se riya ko uthate huye kaha.
Waha ab bahut jyada thand badh chuki thi par azeeb baat ye thi ki
ab wo kali cheez unka peecha karti nahi dikh rahi thi.
"Mera sir chakra hai.. mai nahi chal paungi.." sahare se khade hote hi
riya ek hathse apna sir pakadte huye boli. Jab usne mehsoos kiya ki
kuch geeli aur garam cheese uske hath par lagi hai to usne apna hath
sir se hataya aur torch ki roshni mai dekha. Yeusi ka khoon tha jiski
vajah se uska poora hath laal ho gaya tha.
Apne hath par laga khoon dekhkar uske kadam ladkhada gaye jisse uske sath-sath neerav ka bhi balance bigad gaya. Wo phir se rone lagi. Khud ko aur apni behan ko samhalne ke liye neerav ne deewar ka sahara liya aur bola, "chup ho ja.. jyada gehri chot nahi hai.. salma ko
dhoodte hai.. medical kit usi ke bag mai rakhi thi milan ne.."
Milan ka naam sunte hi riya boli, "Wo bhi chala gaya.. salma bhi gayi..
sab ek-ek karke marte ja rahe hai.. humara number bhi jaldi hi
aayega.. hum sab marne wale hai.."
"Ye kya bakwas kar rahi hai.. chot seedhe dimag mai lagi hai kya??
Kuch nahi hua hai kisi ko bhi.. na salma ko aur na hi milan ko.. chal
ab....... aaaeeeee jaldi challlll...." apni baat kehte-kehte achanak
neerav atka aur phir dar ke mare chillate huye bola. Usne riya ke
peeche kuch dekha tha aur ye janne ke liye riya ne mudkar dekha to
uski bhi heartbeat badh gayi. Wo kaali cheese laut aayi thi aur
deewar ko gherte huye unhi ki taraf aa rahi thi. Uske daat abhi bhi
waise hi nukile the lekin ab wo muskura nahi raha tha balki kafi gusse
mai lag raha tha. Wo kafi nazdeek aa chuka tha aur riya se mahaz
kuch hi foot door tha.
Neerav ne bina ek pal ki deri kiye riya ko apni taraf kheecha par uska
balance nahi ban paya jisse wo wahi gufa mai peeth ke bal gir pada
aur riya uske upar. Wo un do hisso mai bat rahi gufa ke bilkul muhane
par hi gira tha. Torch uske hath se chhutkar bagal mai ludhak gayi
jiski roshni seedhi us kaale danav par pad rahi thi. Wo dana deewaro
par pasarta hua utni hi tezi se aage badh raha tha aur ab unki maut
nischit thi. Neerav ne gardan uthakar use bilkul kareeb aate dekha
aur ab jo hona tha use soch kar aankhe band karli.
Wo danav isse pehle ki riya aur neerav ko chhu pata isse pehle hi kisi
ne un dono ko gufa mai peeche kheech liya. Wo dono ab gufa ke dayi taraf wale hisse mai the. Wo danav waha gufa ke us hisse mai ghus hi nahi paya aur unki taraf jane ki jagah baye hisse mai chala gaya.
Waha us hisse mai muhane par ek laal rekha khichi huyi thi jo waha shayad kafi saalo se thi jis karan wo kafi dhundli pad chuki thi. Neerav aur riya ne paltkar dekha ki kaun hai jisne unki madad ki to
wo salma thi jiske sath milan bhi tha.
Riya bina apne pair ki parwah kiye turant uthi aur milan ke seene se
lag gayi. Usne milan ko buri tarah jakad rakha tha aur fafak-fafak
kar ro rahi thi.
"Ssshhhhhh..... rote nahi... rote nahi... sab theek hai... sssshhhh...."
milan ne use dilasa dete huye kaha.
"Ise chot lagi hai... mujhe dekhne do..." salma ke peeche andhere se
ye badi azeeb si awaaj aayi aur phir isi ke sath ek aur shaks andhere
se samne aaya. Use dekhte hi neerav aur riya ek jhatke mai peeche
hat gaye aur dehshat se use ghoorne lage.
"Kaun ho tum logggg??? Tum log salma aur milan ho hi nahi sakte??
Wo dono kaha hai??" Neerav ne riya ko apne peeche lete huye
kamzor si awaaj mai poocha.
"Neeravv.. hamari baat sun.. hum asli hi hai.. aur ye hamari hi taraf
hai.. isi ne meri jaan bachayi hai.. aur ab yahi riya ko theek kar sakta
hai..." milan ne thoda aage aate huye kaha to neerav riya sahit utna hi
peeche hat gaya.
"Ladke... tere yakeen karne ya na karne se kuch fark nahi padta..
kyuki sach yahi hai.. ise manna na manna tere upar hai.." us shaks ne
kaha.
"Par hum tum logo ki baato ka yakeen kaise kare??" Is baar thodi
jyada himmat ke sath neerav ne poocha.
"Mai tujhe poori baat sunata hu.. par jaruri kaam pehle..." milan ne
kaha aur phir us shaks ki taraf dekhte huye bola, "ahmad... shuru kar
sakte ho..."
Itna sunkar ahmad riya ki taraf badha to neerav bhi raste se hat gaya. Riya use apne paas aata dekh thartharane lagi lekin use milan par poora yakeen tha isliye wo kuch nahi boli. Ahmad uske paas aaya
aur gaur se uske ghayal pair ko dekhne laga. Riya ko ye bada azeeb
lag raha tha lekin wo ab bhi shant thi. Ahmad ne ab uske ghayal sir
par nazar dali aur phir apne dono hatho se uska pair pakad liya. Aisa
karte hi neerav ne uski taraf lapakna chaha par milan ne use pakad
liya.
"Chhod... chhod use.. kya kar raha hai meri behan ke sath..." neerav
ne milan ki kaid mai machalte huye kaha.
Par ahmad ne koi jawab nahi diya aur usi tarah uske pair ko jakde
khada raha. Riya to bilkul but ban chuki thi is achanak huye 'hamle'
se. Aur phir usne mehsoos kiya ki uske pair ka dard kam ho raha hai.
Ek azeeb si sansanahat use apne pair mai mehsoos ho rhi thi mano us
par cheetiya reng rahi ho par use ye achha lag raha tha.
Kuch der yu hi jakde rakhne ke baad ahmad ne riya ka pair chhod
diya aur uske hatho ke hatte hi riya aur neerav ne dekha ki uska pair
bilkul theek ho chuka hai.
"Ladki... mai upar aau ya tu jhukegi.." ahmad ne kaha par uski awaaj to
jaise riya ko sunayi hi nahi di. Wo to bas apne pair ko hi dekhe ja rahi
thi.
Jab riya ne koi response nahi diya to ahmad ne bina ek pal deri kiye
hawa mai chhalang lagayi aur uske sir ko bhi waise hi jakad liya. Wo
hawa mai bina kisi sahare ke uske sir ko pakde khada tha. Kuch der
baad usne uska sir chhod diya aur wapas jameen par aa gaya. Pair ki
hi tarah riya ke sir ki chot bhi gayab ho chuki thi.
"Tum log... tum logo ko jinda nahi hona chahiye tha.. tum logo ki maut
ke sath hi ye finale khatam hona tha.. show ab khatam ho chuka hai..
par tashina jald jaan jayenge ki tum log jinda ho.. isliye agar apni jaan ki salamati chahte ho to is gufa se kabhi bahar mat nikalna.. yaha tumhe koi nuksan nahi pahucha sakta.. ab se yahi tumhara ghar hai.. jindagi bhar ke liye.. ya jitni bhi bachi hai iske liye.." ahmad ne andhere mai wapas gayab hone se pehle se kaha.

"Riya uth na... wo pakad lenge tujhe bhi.." neerav ne lagbhag rote
huye kaha. Use mehsoos ho raha tha ki aas-paas thand badh rahi hai.
"Mera pair... mai nahi chak sakti..." dard se karahte huye riya boli.
"Riya... koshish kar... please.."
"Mujhe bahut dard ho raha hai.. mera pair.. lagta hai toot gaya hai.."
