usakee upasthiti ko mahasoos karate hue "paanch minat", Meena ne kaha aur kophee taiyaar karane lagee.
raajesh chup raha aur jab usakee maa kofee lekar mudee tabhee vah usakee aankhon mein dekh saka.
kya baat hai? usake peele chehare ko dekhate hue usakee maa ne poochha.
thik se so nahi paya hun, Raajesh ne javaab diya.
use cup thamaate hue meena ne poochha, kya tumhen bukhaar hai?
usaka karunaapoorn chehara dekhakar "ho sakata hai", raajesh ne jhooth bola
usake maathe ko mahasoos karate hue meena ne kaha, tumne mujhe chintit kar diya tha.
usaka haath pakadakar sahalaate hue usane kaha, main tumhen chidha raha tha.
usakee chhaatee par halke se mukka mar kar "yah isee kaaran se hai". . .
usane baat kaatate hue kaha, ise dobaara shuroo mat karana maa.
usane apana sir hilaate hue kaha, mainne tebal par kuchh rakha hai, dekho, meena ne thoda gussa dikhaate hue kaha.
yah kya hai? rajesh ne apni maa ke chaaron or apanee baahen daalate hue poochha.
tum khud hi kyon nahin dekh lete? usane apana gussa kam karate hue kaha.
raajesh ne paiket uthaaya aur jaise hee khola, usamen se teen snaip baahar gir gae.
tum keval ek hee chun sakate ho, usakee maa ne use chidhaate hue kaha.
tasveeron ko dekhane kee jahamat uthae bina rajesh ne kaha, maa, kya mainne nahin kaha ki main shaadee nahin karane ja raha hoon.
aur kya mainne yah nahin kaha ki main ab tumhari dekhabhaal nahin kar sakatee, meena ne javaab diya.
kareeb aakar usake gale mein baahen daalate hue tum mujh par bojh kyon daalana chaahate ho. rajesh ne kaha, main jaise hoon vaise hee khush hoon aur main abhee shaadee nahin karana chaahata.
lekin mujhe apane lie kuchh samay chaahie. mena ne kaha, main tumhen hamesha chammach se khaana khilaatee nahin rah sakatee.
rajesh ne kaha, jab aap apane haathon ka istemaal kar sakate hain to chammach ka istemaal kyon karen.
kya tumne tasveeren dekheen? tumhe koee pasand hai? bas mujhe batao aur main ise pal tumhari shadi fix kar doongee, usane usake seene par haath rakhate hue kaha.
rajesh ne javaab diya, nahin, mainne nahin dekha.
kya tum meree khaatir unhen nahin dekh sakate, meena ne usakee baanhon se baahar nikalate hue kaha.
yah dekhakar ki vah krodhit thee; theek hai main unhen dekhoonga, ab khush..! .
usake javaab se khush hokar haan, teenon bahut khoobasoorat hain raaj.
vah mej par vaapas gaya aur jab usane tasveeren dekheen to use samajh aaya ki usakee maan ne usake sahapaathiyon kee soochee kyon maangee thee.
tasveeren pakadakar vah vaapas aaya aur bola, maa, kya aapako lagata hai ki unamen se koee meree patnee baan sakti hai, usane poochha.
kyon, unme kya kharabi hai? meena ne kaha.
kya aapako lagata hai ki koee bhee aapake jitana smart or achchha dikhane vaali hai? usane poochha.
kyon, isaka isase kya lena-dena hai, meena ne puchha.
aap mujhase aisee ladakee se shaadee karane kee ummeed kaise kar sakate hain jo na to apke jitnee khubshurat hai aur na hee aapake jitanee smaart hai, usane usake gaalon par chutakee lete hue kaha.
to tum unhen pasand nahin karate, meena ne poochha.
nahin, rajesh ne apana sir hilaaya.
yah bhee nahin, usane use us ladakee kee tasveer dikhaate hue poochha jo pichhale din bheeg gaee thee.
vah teenon mein se sabase moorkh hai, rajesh ne uttar diya.
mujhe nahin pata ki tumhen kis tarah kee ladakee pasand hai, meena ne udaas hokar kaha.
rajesh ne kaha, main aisi ladakee chaahata hoon jo aapake jaisa majaakiya, smaart aur sundar ho.
ruko, main sheeshe mein dekhoongee aur dekhoongee ki main kitanee smaart ya kitanee sundar hoon, yah kahate hue meena apne bete ke baanhon se door chalee gaee.
aur jab apko wo khubshurat ladakee mil jae to krpaya mujhe phon karana, rajesh ne kaha aur jaise hee usakee maa mudee to usakee najaren apni maa par tik gaeen.
unakee aankhon ne use apanee nazaron se ojhal nahin hone diya or uski aankhen anpi maa ke sharir ko ghurti rahi.
apane kamare ke ekaant mein rajesh socha raha tha ki usakee maa ko ghoorana galat hai. rajesh ise bhao ko anpe man se nikalne ki koshish kee lekin choonki yah uskee smrti mein sangraheet tha isalie ise hataana sambhav nahin tha.
us raat usakee maa kee tasveer uske ankhon ke samane ekadam saaf thee. vah aasaanee se usakee bra kee chhotee-chhotee pattiyaan pahachaan sakata tha aur jaise hee usakee nazar us par padee to vah usakee sudaul peeth dekhakar dang rah gaya. sudaul dhalee huee peeth ne usakee hava nikaal dee aur usake peechhe-peechhe jaise hee usane usakee kaamuk peeth ko dekha to use paseena aane laga. is baar use ghoorakar dekhana bura nahin laga. use ise nihaarana mantramugdh kar dene vaala laga. haalaanki ve sari mein lipate hue the, lekin usake nichale hisse kee drdhata ko rokane mein jyaada kuchh nahin kar sake, jisamen ek aakarshak drshy tha. kya yahee kaaran tha ki usake dost ne kaha tha ki tum bhaagyashaalee vyakti ho, use aashchary hua.
us din se usaka apanee maan kee or dekhana ka najariya badal gaya aur kaee baar meena ko bhee badalaav mahasoos hua lekin usane ise apane dimaag se nikaal diya. ab rajesh ke chutakule aur majak badh gaee apni maa ke shath aur usane zara-sa bahaana paate hee meena ko apanee baanhon mein pakad liya karta.
aisa kuchh dinon tak chalata raha aur jab usake college ka aakhiree din tha, to meena kapade sukhaate hue soch rahee thee ki chhuttiyon ke dauraan us badamaash se kaise nipaten, tabhee usane rajesh ko maa chillaate hue suna.
"Lo shaitan ke baare me socha aur..." isase pahale ki vah pratikriya kar paatee, rajesh ne use itanee tejee se kheench liya ki ve donon jameen par gir pade aur unake oopar kapade jo rassee pe rakhe the shukhne ke liye wo v gir pade.
