Adultery Kaam Anjali

[soukoli]

"Yunhi tukka maar rahe honge... wo toh ye bhi kah rahe the ki aapko pata hai ki kisne maara hai Tarun ko..." Maine kaha....

"haan.. ho bhi sakta hai...!" Meenu ne lambi saans lekar kaha...

"Fir.. tum kal unko fone karogi kya.. didi?" Pinky ne poochha... Meenu ne koyi jawab nahi diya.. Pinky ne fir kaha," bolo na didi..?"

"Pata nahi.. meri toh khud samajh mein nahi aa raha ki kya karoon...?" Meenu ne kaha....

"Agar karo toh unke sath baithkar kahin mat jana didi... maine dekha tha.. wo baar baar aapko buri najar se dekh rahe the.." Pinky ne bhola sa chehra banakar kaha...

Meenu ne uski iss baat ka bhi koyi jawab nahi diya.. 'ladke toh sabhi aise hote hain.. unki toh najar hi buri hoti hai.. for Inspector toh uss'se 4-5 saal hi bada tha...' .... Meenu mann hi mann sochti rahi....



Agle din hum dono taiyaar hokar school jane ke liye unke ghar se nikal liye.. Meenu toh tab tak uthi bhi nahi thi.. Main uss'se baat karna chahti thi.. par chachi ne mana kar diya. Chachi ne bataya ki wo raat bhar soyi nahi hai.

Hum gaanv se nikle hi the ki Sandeep hamein paidal hi jata dikhayi diya.. wo akela hi tha.. hamein aata dekh kar wah ruk gaya..

"Hello!" Sandeep ne pahle Pinky aur fir mujhe dekh kar kaha..

"Hi.." Jawab sirf maine diya.. Pinky kuchh der chup rahne ke baad jhijhakte huye boli..," Kuchh pata chala.. Tarun ke baare mein...?"

Sandeep ke chehre par udaasi si chha gayi," Pata nahi.. Par Manisha kah rahi thi ki usne raat ko ladayi si ki aawajein suni thi.. choupal mein!"

"Koun Manisha? wahi kya jo tracter chalati hai.. aur motorcycle bhi?" Pinky ne Sandeep ki aur dekh kar poochha...

"Haan.. aur kya kare bechari !.. na toh uska koyi bhai hai.. aur na hi 'maa' ... baap sharaab peekar pada rahta hai 24 ghante.. wahi toh sambhal rahi hai ghar ko.." Sandeep ne Pinky ki baat par pratikriya di...

"Par usne kaise suni?" Maine poochha...

"Arey.. uska ghar choupal ke sath lagta hua hi toh hai...!" Sandeep bola...

"Haan.. wo toh mujhe pata hai.. par itni raat ko.. wo jaag rahi thi kya?" Maine yunhi baat karne ke liye baat ko aage badha diya.. Sandeep se baat karte huye mujhe bahut achchha lag raha tha....

"Wo toh kah rahi hai ki usne 9:00 baje ke aaspaas aawajein suni thi... 'wo' bhainson ko chara daalne ke liye ghar ke bahar baramade mein aayi thi... Tabhi usko choupal se kuchh bahas hone ki aawajein aayi.. Usne apni deewar se jhank kar dekhne ki koshish ki par andhere ki wajah se kuchh dikhayi nahi diya... Fir wo ye soch kar wapas chali gayi ki 'nashedi' (nasha karne wale) aakar baith gaye honge...

Maine ghabrakar poochha," Usne... kisko batayi hai ye baat?"

"Tarun ke gharwaalon ko.. aur uss 'chhokre' se inspector ko bhi... kyun?" Sandeep ne batane ke baad sawaal kiya....

"Nahi.. kuchh nahi..." Mera dil baith gaya.. Inspector ne ye ' 9:00 baje wali baat ka jikar hamare paas kyun nahi kiya.. maine toh usko ye bataya tha ki Tarun 11:00 baje tak hamare paas hi tha.." Mere mann mein anjana sa darr baithta chala gaya..

"Arey haan.. wo.. Shikha tumhe bula rahi thi.. kayi din pahle kaha tha.. mujhe yaad hi nahi raha..." Sandeep ne kaha...

"Kisko?" Maine poochha.. Pinky kuchh bol hi nahi rahi thi...

"Tum dono hi aa jana.. kya dikkat hai?" wah muskurate huye bola...

"Theek hai.. hum dono aa jayenge...!" Maine usko jawab dekar Pinky ka hath pakad kar kheencha," Kya ho gaya Pinky?"

"Kuchh nahi.." Usne sirf itna hi kaha.. shayad uske mann mein bhi wahi udhedbun chal rahi thi.. jo mere mann mein thi....
-------------------------------------

School mein jate hi mujhe Principal madam ne ek taraf bula kar poochha..," Tumhare gaanv mein kisi ladke ka murder ho gaya na?"

"Ji.. Tarun ka! " Maine sir jhukaye huye hi jawab diya...

"Ye.. wahi ladka tha na.. jo.. parson yahan aa gaya tha..?" Madam bolte huyi beech mein ek baar jhijhki....

"Ji!" Maine yunhi udasi bhari 'hami' bhari....

"Oh my God! Mujhe bhi wahi lag raha tha.. aaj newspapaer mein uski photo aayi huyi thi.. ye sab kaise hua?" Madam ne poochha.....

"Pata nahi madam!" Maine neerasta se jawaab diya...

"Hummm... kisi ko batana mat... uss din wo ladke fir wapas aaye the.. 'Sir' ke sath kuchh baat karke gaye the akele mein... shayad inke beech 'compromise' hua tha kuchh... dusre ladke se poochhna!"

"Ji.. uss'se main baat nahi karti madam.. sirf shakl se hi jaanti hoon..." Maine kaha..

"Chalo koyi baat nahi... mujhe toh badi daya aa rahi hai.. bechare ki.. 'inn' Sir ki bhi bahut political approach hai.. kitne toh sharaab ke theke chalte hain inke..... Kahin....." wah kuchh der chup rahi,"... par tum iss baat ka jikar mat karna kahin bhi.. tumhari baat bhi saamne aa jayegi nahi toh! .... samajh gayi na....?" Madam ne fusfusate huye mere kaano mein baat daal di....

"ji.. madam.." Maine kaha aur Pinky ke paas aa gayi...

"Kya kah rahi thi madam?" Pinky ne uske paas jate hi mujhse poochha....

"Chhod.. baad mein bataaungi.. pahle paper de le...!" Mujhe usko iss waqt bewajah ki tention dena achchha nahi laga...
------------------------------------

Khair.. hamara paper achchha ho gaya.. agle din chhutti thi.. wapas aate huye bhi hum Sandeep ke sath hi aaye the... Wah Pinky ke ghar ke kareeb tak hamare sath aaya...

Ghar jate hi humne dekha.. Meenu neeche akeli hi baithi thi...

"Kya hua? Gayi nahi kya aaj bhi?" Pinky ne poochha...

"Nahi...!" Meenu ne mara hua sa jawab diya....

"Fir.. wo inspector yahin aa gaya toh?" Maine bhari mann se kaha.....



"Main kya karoon? meri toh kuchh samajh mein hi nahi aa raha.. mujhe darr lag raha hai.. usko phone kaise karoongi main? wo toh.. wo toh mujhe college se le jane ki baat kar raha tha.. main akeli bhala..." Meenu pareshan si hokar bol rahi thi...

"Kal chal padna didi.. kal hamari chhutti hai.. main bhi aapke sath chal padoongi..!" Pinky ne usko sahara sa dene ki koshish ki...

"nahi.. mummy papa kaise maanenge? koyi bahana bhi nahi hai.. Aey Anju! tu chal pad na mere sath... plz!" Meenu ne kuchh sochkar kaha," Main chacha chachi ko bol ke dekh loongi...!"

"Par.. par main kya karoongi didi..?" Maine achkacha kar kaha...

"Dekh le yaar.. tere sath mujhe bhi thodi himmat mil jayegi.. hum dono ko dekh kar toh wo bhi..." Meenu ne yachna bhari nigaahon se meri aur dekha...

"Theek hai.. par.. papa se poochhna padega.. 'wo' mana kar sakte hain.. aur fir bahana toh wahan bhi banana padega kuchh.." Maine 'apni' taraf se haan kahte huye bola...

"Chal.. main abhi tere sath ghar chalti hoon... main mana loongi unko.. kisi bhi tarah..!" Meenu thode utsaah ke sath boli...

"Par.. abhi toh hamein ek baar Sikha ke ghar jana hai.. wo bula rahi thi hamein.. pata nahi kya baat hai?" Pinky beech mein hi bol padi... main toh bhool hi gayi thi..

"Theek hai.. tum tab tak wahan ho aao.. main chachi ke paas ja rahi hoon.. chacha ne abhi pi toh nahi rakhi hogi na?" Meenu mujhse poochhne lagi...

"Nahi.. abhi toh shuru nahi ki hogi.. aap abhi chali jao.. par mera naam mat lena ki mujhe jana hai.. papa mana kar denge.." Maine usko papa ke mere baare mein vicharon se awgat karaya...

"Theek hai.. main abhi ja kar aati hoon.. tum bhi mil aao Shikha se.." Meenu ne kaha aur bahar chali gayi.. hum bhi chachi ko bolkar Sandeep ke ghar ki aur chal pade....

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Hum Sikha ke ghar mein upar chadh hi rahe the ki neeche se Sandeep ka bada bhai 'Dholu' aa gaya.. Mujhe uske asli naam ka nahi pata.. Gaanv mein sab usko 'Dholu' hi kahte hain.... Hamare mud kar dekhte hi wah muskurakar bola..," aao.. aao.. aaj kaise darshan de diye deviyo!"

"Shikha hai bhaiya?" Pinky ne seedhiyon mein hi khade hokar poochha....

"Upar toh chalo... yahin se wapas jaaogi kya?" Usne hanste huye kaha aur hamare paas aakar 'mere' kandhe par hath rakh liya..

Ham aise hi upar aa gaye.. usne mere kandhe se apna hath nahi hataya... Mere shareer mein gad rahi Uski ungaliyon ka dabaav mujhe kuchh 'dusri' hi tarah ka mahsoos huaa... Unki chhuan mere School ke teachers ki ungaliyon ki tarah thi.. jo mouka milte hi mere badan par yahan wahan 'apne' hath saaf karna nahi bhoolte the.....

"Bhabhi ji kahan hain..?" Maine kasmasa kar unki patni ke baare mein poochha..

Dholu ne apna hath hata liya..," Wo... wo toh mayke gayi hai apne... 2-4 din mein aayegi....

"Aur Shikha...?" Pinky ne poochha...

"Wo sab Tarun ke ghar gaye huye hain... bus aate hi honge.. baitho...!" Dholu ki najrein lagatar meri uthti baithti chhatiyon par gadi huyi thi.. Shirt mein unki kasawat bahar se hi saaf nazar aa rahi thi...," tab tak TV dekh lo..!" Usne TV chalaya aur dusre kamre mein chala gaya...

Kareeb 2-4 hi minute huye honge.. Dholu ne mujhe dusre kamre se aawaj di," Idhar aana, Anju! ek baar!"



Maine Pinky ki taraf dekha.. wah yunhi hulke se muskura di.. Maine khadi hokar kaha,"Shayad mujhe bula raha hai.. main abhi aayi..!"

"Theek hai.."Pinky ne jawab diya aur fir TV ki aur dekhne lagi.. Main bahar nikal kar dusre kamre ke darwaje par jakar khadi ho gayi..aur badi sharaafat se poochha,"Kya?"

"Ohho.. andar toh aao!" Hath mein revolver liye uski nali mein foonk maarta hua wah bola... Main ajeeb si najron se dekhti huyi uske mano bhavon ko padhne ki koshish karte huye uske paas jakar khadi ho gayi.. Gaanv mein sabko pata tha ki wah aise hi ulte seedhe kaam karta rahta hai.. isiliye uske hath mein revolver dekh kar mujhe hairani nahi huyi.....,"Haan?"

"Tu toh poori jawaan ho gayi hai Anju! maine toh tujhe saal bhar baad dekha hai.." Usne mere paas jane ke baad revolver ek taraf rakh di aur aankhon hi aankhon mein meri chhatiyon ka bhar sa tolne laga....

Maine laja kar najrein jhuka li.. Meenu didi theek hi kahti thi.. aadmi toh sare hi 'kutte' hote hain.. ladki ko toh bus jawaan hone ki der hoti hai..

"Ha ha ha.. sharma gayi... hai na?" Usne mera hath pakad liya...

"Kkya kah rahe the aap?" Maine achkacha kar poochha.. Pinky ke wahan hone ka asar mere jawaab par saaf dikhayi de raha tha.. main dari huyi si thi...

"Pahle toh ye bata.. parche (Exams) kaise ja rahe hain tere...?" Wah ab bhi mere ek hath ko pakde huye tha...

"Theek ja rahe hain.. abhi tak!" Maine hadbadahat mein jawab diya.. Meri kalayi par uske hath ki pakad majboot hoti ja rahi thi...

"Shabaash! koyi locha ho toh batana.. kisi baat ki fikar mat kiya kar.. mast raha kar.. kisi se ghabrane ki koyi jarurat nahi hai.. koyi chhede chhude toh bus ek baar naam bata dena... Samajh gayi na!" Usne bolte huye revolver utha kar mujhe dikhayi aur wapas takiye ke neeche rakh di... Mujhe pahli baar laga ki shayad usne pi rakhi hai...

Maine apna sir hila diya.. par bol nahi payi...

"He he he.. Sharmate huye toh tu aur bhi gajab ki lagti hai.. kya jawani di hai ram ne tujhe! Suna tha tere baare mein ladkon se.. par vishvas nahi tha ki tu sach mein itna mast maal ban gayi hogi...." Bolte bolte usne mera dusra hath bhi pakad kar apni taraf kheench liya.. Mere apne mann mein Pinky ke idhar aa jane ke darr ko chhod kar koyi aur darr nahi tha...

Uske mujhe apni taraf kheenchte hi main khinchti chali gayi... Bed par baithe huye Dholu ka ghutna mere ghutno ke beech aa fansa.. na chahte huye bhi mujhe apni jaanghein khol deni padi.. aur mere gaal sharm se laal ho gaye...

"Kuchh toh bol Anju! kya iraada hai? Mujhe bhi baki ladkon ki tarah tadpayegi kya?" Dholu mujhe dheere dheere aur bhi jyada apne paas kheenchna ja raha tha.. par wah shayad isi koshish mein tha ki main bhi kuchh pahal karoon.. isiliye wo poora jor nahi laga raha hoga...

Main kuchh na boli.. ghabra kar apna chehra ghumaya aur darwaje ki aur dekhne lagi...

"thode din pahle tere bag mein tujhe ek love letter mila hoga.. mila tha na.." Usne ek hath se mera hath chhod kar mera chehra apni aur ghuma liya.. main turant neeche dekhne lagi... kuchh bol nahi payi...

"Bol na! Mila tha na letter?" Usne dobara poochha.. toh maine 'haan' mein sir hila diya...

"Wo apna khas chela hai.. ek no. ka bachcha hai.. bahut naam kamayega.. he he he.. naam bataaun uska?" Dholu ne mere skirt ka saamne wala nichla sira pakad kar apne hath mein le liya...

Main kuchh nahi bol payi.. uski inn chhoti chhoti harkaton se mere badan mein waasna ka toofan sa uthne laga tha....

"Bol na.. naam bata doon kya?" Dholu meri skirt ke kapde ko dheere dheere apni hatheli mein lapet'ta ja raha tha..

"Pinky aa jayegi.." Maine uski aankhon mein dekh kar apne darr ki wajah batayi...

"Chal pagal.. mere hote huye bhi darti hai.. Sun! Sheelu hai 'wo' .. teri jawani par bahut marta hai.. usi ne mujhe bola tha.. Sandeep se tere liye ek dhansu sa garma garam 'love letter' likhwane ko.. Mast likha hua tha na?" Dholu ki iss baat ne toh mera dil buri tarah dhadka diya....

"Kyaaaaa? Sandeee....." Maine lagbhag uchhalte huye apni pratikriya di....

"Haan.. par ye baat Sandeep se mat poochhna.. usne Sheelu se kasam li hai ki 'wo' kisi ko nahi batayega.. Samajh gayi na..." Mujhe ahsaas bhi nahi hua ki kab usne meri skirt ko aage se poora lapet liya.. jaise hi meri 'kachchhi' ke kinaron par uski ungaliyon ka ahsaas hua.. maine ghabrakar el baar jhuk kar apni nangi ho chuki jaanghon; ek baar bahar darwaje ki aur; aur fir kasmasate huye uski aankhon mein dekha....

"Nahi bolegi na kisi ko bhi.. ye andar ki baatein hoti hain pagal.. aisi baatein bahar nahi batate.... nahi batayegi na tu.." Dholu ne apna ghutna meri taangon ke beech se nikala aur mujhe poore jor se apni aur kheench liya.. uska chehra meri chhatiyon se aakar takraya.. Sharaab ki gandh mere nathunon mein sama gayi.. uska ek hath mere hath ko pakde huye apne ling par tha.. Meri halat kharaab ho gayi...

Meri saanson ko tej hote dekh wah utsahit sa hokar bola,"Bol na meri Rani.. kisi ko kuchh nahi batayegi na..!"

"Nahi!" Maine apne sir ko hulka sa hila kar apna jawab diya.. aur baglein jhankne lagi...

"De degi na Sheelu ko.. tera deewana hai wo.. madarchod pagal sa ho gaya hai.. jab se tune school jana band kiya hai.. meri maan le.. de degi na usko?" Dholu ne kahte huye mere hath ko apne hath ke neeche lekar apne ling par daba diya..

'Wo' pal toh main jindagi bhar nahi bhool sakti.. Uske bina kahe hi maine apni ungaliyon ka ghera bana kar uske 'ling' ko kaskar apni mutthi mein pakad liya aur sisakte huye boli," aaaah... haaaan.. de doongi... par kahan doon..?"

"Haye meri jaan.. teri mutthi kitni garam hai.. teri choot kaisi hogi saaaliiiiii.." Wah pagla sa gaya.. meri skirt ko upar utha kar usne hath ko aage kachchhi mein fansa kar neeche sarka diya..," Oh teri maa ka louda.... aisi gouri aur chikni choot toh maine jindagi bhar nahi dekhi.. ye toh abhi se tapak rahi hai..."

Dholu ne ek ungali meri yoni ki faankon mein ghumayi aur usko bahar nikal kar meri aur apni aankhon ke saamne karke aise khush hua mano madhu makkhiyon ke chhatte se shahad nikal laya ho... ," Teri choot toh main loonga... chhod saale behan ke loude ko.. 'uss' piddi ki aulaad ko iss maal ki kya kadar hogi.. 'wo' bhi sala teri aur dekhega toh uski gaand mein goli maar doonga seedhi.... tu toh ek number ka samaan hai.. bol kab degi mujhe?"

Uski baaton aur harkaton se main bhi pagal si ho chuki thi.. mujhe 'waise' bhi iss baat se koyi farq nahi padna tha ki meri jawani se 'wo' behan ka louda khele ye 'ye' behan ka louda... Par main itni madhosh ho chuki thi ki baat ka jawaab dena hi bhool gayi...

"Bol na meri rangeeli chhamiya.. ab main teri choot mare bina nahi maanoonga.. degi na mujhe.. legi na mera louda apni choot mein..?" wah mera hath chhod kar dono hathon ko skirt mein pichhe le jakar mere nitambon ko buri tarah masalta hua bola.....

"aaaaaaaahhhh!" Main sisakte huye boli," Par kahan loooooon.." Meri aankhein band ho gayi.. main sab kuchh bhool chuki thi....

"Yahin le le rani.. abhi le le..." Usne jakar darwaja band kiya aur wapas aakar baithte hi apni pant ki zip khol kar apna fanfanata hua ling bahar nikal liya...

Main darr gayi..," Nahi.. abhi nahi.. Pinky hai yahan..!"

"Arrrrrrreeeeyyyy.." Usne meri ek na suni aur mujhe uthakar apni god mein baithate huye meri taangon ko apni kamar ke dono aur pichhe nikal diya...," wo toh TV dekh rahi hai... bus do minute ki baat hai.. ek baar toh yahin ghuswa kar dekh le.. teri choot ko bhi mere loude ka chaska lag jayega.."

Usne kahte hi meri kachchhi mere ghutno tak neeche sarka di aur mere ghutno ko mod kar mujhe aur aage sarkate huye apne ling par baitha liya.. uska ling mere nitambon ki daraar ke beechon beench fansa khada tha.. aur meri yoni ki faankein uski motayi ke anuroop fail kar uss par tiki huyi thi..

Apne ling ko mere yoni ke chhed par tikane ke liye usne mujhe upar uksaya hi tha ki tabhi darwaja khula.. Mere kaano mein 'sorry bhai' bolne ki aawaj aayi aur darwaja fir se band ho gaya.....

Hadbada kar usne mujhe chhod diya.. aawaj Sandeep ki thi.. Main khadi hokar apni kachchhi ko upar sarkate huye rone lagi..," Tumne darwaja band kyun nahi kiya.."

"Iski maa ki choot.. iss darwaje par andar kundi nahi hai.. par tu chinta kyun kar rahi hai.. kuchh nahi hoga... " Dholu apni pant ki zip band karta hua bola...

"Sandeep ne dekh liya..." main roti huyi boli....

"Tu ro kyun rahi hai meri rani.. main tera yaar hoon.. aur wo mera bhai.. kya hua jo usne dekh liya toh.. ye bata.. kab aayegi mere paas..?"

Main kuchh nahi boli.. khadi khadi subakti rahi...

"Mobile hai tere paas?" Dholu ne mera hath wapas pakad liya.. Main 'na' mein sir hilate huye apne aansoo pounchhne lagi....

"Dekh.. tere yaar ke paas teen mobile hain.. jo marji le ja.. bus mere naam ke alawa koyi bhi fone aaye toh uthana mat.. tere paas jab bhi mouka ho.. mujhe fone karke bula lena.. ya main bula loonga.. le le.. koyi bhi ek fone utha le..." Usne apne teeno mobile mere aage rakh diye...

"Nahi.. main fone nahi rakh sakti.. ghar mein pata chal jayega kisi ko.." Maine inkaar mein apna sir hilate huye kaha...

"Arey.. vibration kar doonga meri rani.. apni chhatiyon mein chhupa kar rakhna.. jab bhi mera fone aayega.. teri chhatiyon mein gudgudi si hogi... kisi ko pata nahi chalega Rani.. le le..." Usne apne aap hi ek mobile ko settings change karke meri skirt ki jeb mein daal diya," ja ab.. chinta mat karna kisi bhi baat ki... aur haan.. Shikha aaj hi mama ke ghar chali gayi hai.. 2-3 din baad aayegi toh main fone karke bata doonga..... ab tum aaram se ghar jao.. chinta nahi karna.. kisi bhi baat ki.. main hoon na... tera yaar!"

Maine apni jeb mein hath maar kar mobile ke karan ubhar si gayi skirt ko theek kiya aur bina koyi jawab diye darwaja kholkar bahar nikal gayi..

Sandeep Pinky ke sath dusre kamre mein chupchap baitha tha.. par main uski taraf dekh nahi payi..," Chalein... Pinky!"

"Haan.. ek minute.." Pinky ne khade hokar mujhse kaha aur Sandeep ki aur palat gayi..," Parson tak aa jayegi na Shikha?"

"Main.. bata doonga.." Mujhe Sandeep ki aawaj aayi.. main pahle hi bahar ki aur apna chehra ghuma chuki thi.. Pinky ke bahar aate hi hum seedhiyon se neeche utar gaye...

"Kya kah raha tha Dholu?" Gali mein aate hi Pinky ne mujhse poochha...

"aaa.. haaan.. kuchh nahi.. bus..." Main uska sawaal sunkar hadbada gayi...

"Toh fir 10 minute se uske paas kya kar rahi thi...? Achchha ladka nahi hai wo.. iske ghar waale bhi iss'se kaam dhandhon se pareshan rahte hain... tujhe jyada der uske paas nahi rukna chahiye tha..." Pinky ne mujhe hidayat si dete huye kaha....

"haan.. mujhe pata hai.. par main kya karti.. idher udhar ki baatein karta raha.. parche kaise chal rahe hain.. koyi dikkat toh nahi hai.. wagairah wagairah.. iske paas toh revolver bhi hai.. mujhe dikha raha tha.. bol raha tha ki koyi problem ho toh bata dena..." Main apne aap ko bachate huye baatein batane lagi...

"Chal chhod.. hum didi ko wo baat toh batana bhool hi gaye.. Manisha wali.." Maine beech mein hi ruk kar usko bataya....

"Arrey Haan!.." Pinky ne jawaab diya..," Chal.. jaldi ghar chal...

Hum ghar pahunche toh Meenu wapas aa chuki thi.. ghar ke andar jate hi wo mujhe kahne lagi..," Chacha maan gaye.. kal tu mere sath hi chalna..!"

Maine uski baat par hulki si pratikriya dete huye kaha..," haan.. par ek baat galat ho gayi didi!"

"Kya?" Meenu ne chintit hote huye poochha...

"Wo.. humne kal inspector ko ye kaha tha na ki Tarun Parson yahan se 11 baje gaya hai......" Mujhe Meenu ne beech mein hi rok diya..," ek minute.. Pinky.. mummy papa Tarun ke ghar gaye hain.. tu chay bana la bhag kar...!"

"Kya didi? mujhe hamesha apne paas se utha kar bhaga dete ho.. mujhe sab pata hai.. jo ye aapko batayegi..." Pinky ne apna munh chadha kar kaha....

"Wo baat nahi hai pagal.. sach mein chay ka dil kar raha hai.. jab tak Anju baat bata rahi hai.. tu bhag kar chay bana la.. pls!" Meenu ne yaachna si karte huye kaha...

"Theek hai..!" Pinky ne munh latkaya aur upar chali gayi....

"Tu pahle ek baat bata Anju! Kal agar wo inspector kuchh ulta seedha bolne laga toh..?" Meenu ne Pinky ke jate hi mujhse kaha....

"Kya matlab didi? main samjhi nahi" Maine kaha...

"Wo.. mera kahne ka matlab hai ki uske paas wo 'letters' hain.. agar wo bhi mujhe blackmail karne laga toh..?" Meenu ne udaas hokar kaha...

"Toh..." Main chupchap uske chehre ko yunhi dekhti rahi..," Main kya bataaun didi?"

"Chal chhod.. kal hi pata lagega.. uske mann mein kya hai.. tu kya bata rahi thi..." Meenu wapas meri baat par aakar boli...

" Wo.. Mainsha hai na.. Tractor wali....!" Maine kaha...

"Haan.. kya hua ?"

"Usne parson raat 9:00 baje ke aaspaas choupal mein ladayi ki aawaj suni thi.. usne shayad inspector ko bhi bata di....!" Maine kaha...

"Toh ismein....!" Meenu bolte bolte achanak ruki aur baat samajh mein aate hi uski tone badal gayi," Hey bhagwan.. kab batayi usne inspector ko ye baat?"

"Shayad yahan aane se pahle hi usko pata chal gaya hoga.. tabhi toh mujhe dobara theek se soch kar batane ko bol raha tha...!" Maine Meenu ki tarah hi mara sa munh bana kar kaha....

"Ohh.. iss'se toh hamari jhooth pakdi jayegi... iss baat par toh hum ad bhi sakte hain.. par agar Tarun ko kisi ne gyarah baje se pahle hi maar diya hoga toh hum jaroor jhoothe ho jayenge... postmortom report mein toh sab kuchh aa jayega... fir hum kya kahenge...." Meenu rone ko ho gayi....

"Ek baat kahoon didi.. bura na maano toh.." Mere dimaag mein kuchh aaya tha....

"Haan.. bol.. ab iss'se bura kya hoga mere sath..!" Meenu poori tarah hatash ho chuki thi...

"Wo.. main ye kah rahi hoon ki Usko letters toh mil hi chuke hain... aap usko sab sach sach kyun nahi bata dete.. ki wo aapko blackmail kar raha tha... unn letters ke liye.... fir hum ye bhi bol denge ki humne isi baat ko chhipane ke liye jhooth bola tha..." Maine kaha....

Meenu kuchh der tak chupchap baithi sochti rahi... usne meri baat par koyi pratikriya nahi di..," Par wo toh pichhe pada hai ki mujhe kaatil ke baare mein pata hai.. main katil kahan se lakar doon usko...."

Tabhi Pinky chay lekar aa gayi," Fans gaye na hum didi?" Usne aate hi poochha...

"Kyun..? kyun dara rahi hai...?" Meenu ne hadbada kar kaha..

"Nahi.. wo 11 baje wali baat toh inspector ko pata lag gayi na.. ki humne jhooth bola tha...!"

 

[soukoli]

Meenu ne Pinky ki baat ka koyi jawaab nahi diya... tabhi maine Principal madam ki baat chhed di..," Ek baat aur batayi hai Principal madam ne.. aaj mujhe!"

"Haan.. wo kya kah rahi thi tujhe.. akele mein bula kar...!" Pinky ne poochha.....

" Tarun aur Sonu parson wapas school mein gaye the.. Sir se akele mein kuchh baat ki thi unhone.. madam kah rahi thi ki jaroor unhone sir ke sath koyi samjhouta kiya tha.. shayad uss recording ko dikha kar hi daraya hoga unko... Tarun uss din kah bhi raha tha.. ki wo master ab kahan jayega bach kar...!" Maine unko yaad dilaya...

"Haan.. par iss baat ka kya matlab hai?" Meenu ne mere baat batane ka maksad poochha...

"Madam bata rahi thi ki uss master ki pahunch kafi upar tak hai.. sharaab ke theke lene jaise kayi dhandhe hain uske.. aise aadmi khatarnaak toh hote hi hain..." Maine aage kaha....

"Matlab.. uss master ne Tarun ko...." Meenu achanak chup ho gayi.. aur fir boli..," Par usko kya pata ki Tarun hamare paas aata hai.. aur usko Tarun ka ghar bhi kaise pata hoga...." Meenu sochte huye boli...

"Main aaj din bhar yahi soch rahi thi didi... Sir ko pata tha ki Tarun hamare gaanv ka hi hai.. Fir gaanv mein aakar Tarun ka ghar pata karna mushkil nahi hai... ho sakta hai unhone kisi ko iss kaam ke liye laga diya ho... aur Tarun jab letter lene ke liye ghar gaya ho toh wo aadmi Tarun ke pichhe pichhe aa gaya ho... aur mouka dekh kar maar kar choupal mein...." Maine din bhar iss baat par ki huyi mathapachchi ka nichod unko suna diya....

"Hummmm..." Meenu meri baat par sahmati jatate huye boli..," Jaroor yahi hua hoga.. toh kya hum ye baat inspector ko bata dein..?"

"Parr.. iss'se Pinky ki aur meri pole bhi khul jayegi.. agar wo inspector Sir ke paas pahunch gaya toh..!" Maine darte huye kaha...

"Fir iss inspector se pichha kaise chhudaayein yaar..? 'Wo' toh mere pichhe hi pada rahega.. jab tak kaatil nahi pakda jata...!" Meenu runwasi si hokar boli....

"Pahle kal aap sirf wo blackmailing wali baat bata kar dekh lo didi.. baad mein soch lena..." Maine kaha...

"Kal mere sath chal toh rahi hai na.. tu bhi?" Meenu ne mujhse poochha...

"Haan.. chal padoongi didi.. par plz.. ye baat mere saamne mat batana usko.. Sir wali..." Maine prarthna si ki....

"Chal theek hai.. wo sab baadm ein soch lenge...."Meenu ne meri baat par sahmati jatayi....

"Main ghar jakar aati hoon didi... thodi der baad aa jaaungi..." Maine khadi hokar kaha...

"Chal theek hai.. tere aane ke baad hi baat karenge...." Meenu boli...

​

Main ghar ke liye nikali toh sham dhalne lagi thi.. kayi tarah ki baaton ka bhanwar sa ikattha hokar mere dimag mein uthal puthal si macha raha tha.. Achanak Manisha ko apne ghar ki deewar se mujhe dekhte pakar mere kadam thithak gaye.. Main kuchh soch kar palat gayi aur uski taraf muskurakar boli," kaisi ho Manisha?"

Shayad wah mujhe nahi dekh rahi thi.. uska dhyan kahin aur hi tha.. mere tokne par uska dhyan bhang hua..,"aaa.. haan.. theek hoon.." Wah bhi meri aur muskura di...

Ek baar maine chalne ki sochi... par pata nahi kyun.. kuchh der gali mein khadi rahi aur fir unke aangan mein ghus gayi,"Kya kar rahi ho?"

"Kuchh nahi.. " Mujhe andar aayi dekh wah kuchh sakpaka si gayi..," Thand jane lagi hai na... Ab katiya ko bhi bahar baandhna hai... usi ke liye bahar khoonta gaad raha hoon.." Usne kaha aur apne thegli (patches) lage huye kurte ke hisse ko chhipane si lagi.. ghar ka kaam kar rahi hone ki wajah se hi shayad usne itne gande kapde daal rakhe the....

Shayad wah mere wapas jane ka intjaar kar rahi thi.. Par mere mann mein toh kuchh aur hi chal raha tha..," Wo tumne Parson 9:00 baje choupal se kya aawaajein suni thi...?"

"Ek minute.. andar aa jao.. main 2 minute mein aati hoon.." Manisha ne nalke (handpump) par hath dhote huye kaha aur upar bhag gayi... uski ye harkat Meri samajh mein nahi aayi.. Par main uss'se Parson raat ke baare mein jaan'na chahti thi.. isiliye neeche wale kamre mein jakar charpayi par baith gayi....

kareeb paanch minute baad wah neeche aayi aur muskurakar meri aur dekhne lagi..

"Tum kapde badalne hi gayi thi kya?" Maine uske pahne huye naye kapdon ki aur dekhte huye poochha... Usne apne hath pichhe chhupa rakhe the...

"Haan.." Usne thoda hichak kar apne hath aage kiye.. uske hathon mein thami ek plate mein kuchh mithayi thi.. wah mere paas aakar baith gayi,"Lo.. tumhare liye...!"

Maine muskurakar uski taraf dekha aur plate mein se ek barfi utha li...

"Tumhare...... paper kaise chal rahe hain Anju!" Meri aur pyar se dekhte huye usne poochha...

"Achchhe chal rahe hain..! chacha kahan hain...?" Maine yunhi baat karne ke liye poochha....

"Upar pada hoga daru peekar saaalaa!" Usne jameen mein dekhte huye kaha... Uske chehre ke bhav hi badal gaye achanak.. mujhe laga maine galat baat chhed di... par achanak hi meri aur dekhte hi uski muskaan fir lout aayi," Lo.. na.. aur khao! Main shahar se laya tha.... aaj!"

Apne liye bolte huye wah kayi baar purushvachak shabdon ka prayog kar deti thi.. par gaanv mein koyi uski iss baat par hansta nahi tha.. kaam bhi toh aakhir wah kolhu ke bail ki tarah karti thi.. aisa kounsa kaam tha.. jo aadmi kar sakte the aur wah nahi..!

Meri dadi aksar batati thi....Uski Maa ke marne ke baad Ghar ke badle mahoul ne bechari ki sthiti ko bachpan mein hi dayneey sa bana diya tha... baap pahle hi sharaabi tha.. kunbe ke naam par ek chacha hi the jinhone shahar mein jane ke baad kabhi unki sudh li hi nahi.. Gaanv waalon ne uske baapu ko bahut samjhaya tha ki tere palle ek beti hai.. chhod de daru! par 'wo' kabhi nahi sudhra.. apni aadhi se jyada jameen ko toh wo daru mein ghol kar hi pi gaya...

Par kahte hain ki kuchh log niyati ke banjar khet ko apni mehnat aur sangharsh ke kudaal (kassi) se palat kar apne jeene ke liye usmein bhi 2-4 meethe fal uga hi lete hain.. Manisha unhi logon mein se ek nikali.. jab se hosh sambhala.. apne ghar ko hi sambhal liya..! bache huye kheton mein ji tod kar mehnat ki.. apne liye 2 waqt ki roti ka bhi jugaad kiya.. aur apne baap ke liye sharaab ka bhi.. par baki jameen bikne na di... Gaanv mein sab uski mehnat aur jeene ke jajbe ki kadra karte the.....

"Kya hua? kahan kho gayi Anju?" Manisha ki baat se main vicharon ki duniya se nikal kar bahar aayi..," a..a.. kuchh nahi.."

"Aur le na! achchhi nahi lagi kya?" Usne hichakte huye poochha....

"Nahi.. bahut achchhi hai.. mera pate bhar gaya... wo batao na Manisha? Parson tumne kya suna tha choupal mein.." Maine poochha...

Usne mithayi ki plate uthkar slab par rakh di aur mere paas aakar baith gayi..," Chhodo na.. jo hona tha ho gaya.. jisko batana tha bata diya.. tum kuchh aur baat karo.." Bolkar usne mera hath pakad liya.. uske haath mardon ki tarah khurdare se the.. aur unmein jaan bhi bahut lag rahi thi...

"Nahi.. fir bhi.. bechara Tarun.. bina baat hi maara gaya.. ho sakta hai uss waqt hi kisi ne usko maar diya ho...!" Mujhe uske hath ki pakad kuchh ajeeb si lag rahi thi.. maine apna hath chhuda liya...

Wah kuchh der chup rahi..," Na.. uss waqt kisi ne kisi ko nahi mara.. uss waqt toh wo chale gaye the.. wo toh nashedi honge shayad.. 'ye' kaam toh kisi ne baad mein hi kiya hai... yahan uske pate mein koyi 10-10 baar chaku ghounpega toh woh cheekhega nahi kya..?" Manisha ne vichlit si hote huye kaha...

"Haan.. ye baat toh hai.. woh koyi aur hi honge fir.." Main mann hi mann khush ho gayi... Tune inspector ko kya kya bataya hai...?"

"Chhod na Anju.. kyun iss baat ko baar baar utha rahi hai... waise bhi Tarun achchha ladka nahi tha.... tujhe toh pata hi hoga...!"

Uski baat sunkar main hadbada gayi..," Kkya matlab?"

"Chhod jane de.. tu aur suna!" Wah meri aur muskurakar pyar se boli..

"theek hai.. main ja rahi hoon ab..!" Main kahkar khadi ho gayi....

"Aa jaya kar... kabhi kabhi.. main toh akela hi rahta hoon..!" Manisha ne mere sath hi khade hote huye kaha.... aur mere sath sath bahar aa gayi...

"Humm.. dekhoongi..!" Maine uski aur muskurakar kaha aur darwaje ki taraf chal di..

Mainsha ne turant hi farsh se bhainson ka gobar uthana shuru kar diya.. Main ghar jate huye soch rahi thi.. bechari ko kaam ke liye late kar diya....





"mmhhhhh....mmmmhhhhhh....mmmmmhhhhhhhhhhh.." Maine apne aapko unhi jaane pahchane haathon ke changul se chhudane ki ji tod koshish ki.. par main kuchh na kar saki...

Uska ek hath pahle ki tarah hi mere munh par tha.. aur dusra meri kamar se hota hua mere pate par kasa hua tha... Wah mujhe lagbhag poori hi utha kar choupal ki aur ghaseet'ne lagi.. par uss din aisi halat mein bhi mera dhyan meri kamar mein gadi huyi uski sugadh aur kasi huyi chhatiyon par chala hi gaya tha... Nischit tour par wah wahi ladki thi jisne ek baar pahle bhi mere sath choupal mein 'pyar' ka khel khela tha....

Darasal.. Main kareeb 8:00 baje apne ghar se Pinky ke ghar ke liye chali thi.. choupal ke saamne aate hi jaise hi kambal mein lipta hua ek saya meri aur badha.. main ek dum ghabra gayi.. Maine darr kar bhagne ki koshish bhi ki par mere kadam jadvat se hokar jameen se hi chipke rah gaye.. Wah aayi aur mujhe kisi mook khiloune ki bhanti choupal mein utha kar usi jagah le gayi.. jis jagah wah pahli baar mujhe lekar gayi thi...

Main na bhi darti.. par uss din halaat badal chuke the.. do din pahle hi choupal mein Tarun ki lash mili thi.. aur kaatil ka kuchh pata nahi tha.. 'kya pata.. isi ne...' .. ye soch kar meri rooh tak sihar uthi.. mera sara badan thar thar kaanpne laga..

Kafi der tak wah mere pichhe khadi rah kar mere munh ko dabaye huye mere shareer ke sath chhedchhad karti rahi.. Wah meri chhatiyon ko bari bari pakar kar hilate huye unhe masalti rahi.. mere kaano mein saansein si chhodti huyi unhe hulka hulka kaat'ti rahi... par pichhli baar ki tarah wah na toh mere shareer mein jawani ki aag bhadka saki.. aur na hi mere dil ka darr hi door kar payi.. main ab bhi khadi khadi kaanp rahi thi...

Thak haar kar usne mere munh se hath hataya aur mujhe apni taraf palat liya.. Mere gaalon ko apne haathon mein liya aur mere honton par apne hont rakh diye.. Ajeeb si wo sukhad anubhuti bhi mere mann se darr nikal nahi payi..

main thar thar kaanp rahi thi.. aur iss darr ko shayad wah bhi samajh chuki thi.. Shayad isiliye baar baar mujhe chhod kar.. pakad kar.. yahan wahan sahla kar.. mera darr door karne ki koshish kar rahi thi... Wah mujhe vishvas dilana chah rahi thi ki wah jabardasti nahi kar rahi aur mujhe uss'se darna nahi chahiye... Par meri ye halat thi ki mere honton se ek bol bhi nikal nahi pa raha tha.....

Achanak usne meri skirt ko upar utha kar apna hath andar daala aur meri jaangh ko pakad kar meri ek taang upar utha li.. fir dusre hath ki ungaliyon ko mere dusri taraf se kachchhi mein daal kar nitambon ki daraar mein meri yoni dhoondhne lagi.. usko mil bhi gayi.. par ekdum sookhi huyi si.. jab mera gala tak darr ke maare sookh chuka tha toh usko toh sookha rahna hi tha...

Shayad wo jaisa soch rahi thi.. mere sath itna sab kuchh karne ke baad bhi wo kar nahi pa rahi thi.. uski pal pal mein jagah badal rahi chhed chhad se uski jhallahat ka pata chal raha tha..

achanak usne apne hath mein lekar upar uthayi huyi jaangh ko bhi chhod diya.. aur iske sath hi mujhe jameen par kuchh girne ki aawaj aayi.. aawaj ka hona tha ki wah turant hadbada kar neeche baithi aur mere pairon ke paas hath maar kar dekhne lagi..

Achanak mujhe dhyan aaya.. maine dheere se apni skirt ki jeb par hath laga kar dekha.. mobile gayab tha... 'Ohh!' mere munh se nikla aur meri najrein jhuk gayi...

Agle hi pal meri saansein halak mein atak kar rah gayi.. kismat kahein ya bad kismati.. usko mobile mil gaya aur shayad chhoo kar dekhte huye uska koyi button dab gaya.....

"Mmm...mmm...mmm..." Mere kaanpte huye hont uska naam lena chahte the.. par iss'se pahle ki main poora bol pati.. Usne khadi hokar mere munh par hath rakh diya..," Shhhhhhh.... Jaaaan se maar doongi.. agar mera naam liya toh!"

Usne ek baar aur button daba kar mobile ki screen on karke dekha aur usko apni chhatiyon mein thoos liya....

​

​

Ab ki baar maine Manisha ka chehra bilkul saaf dekha tha.. aur dekhne ke baad toh mere hosh hi udd chale the... Par uski jaan se maarne ki dhamki ke baad meri aawaj nikalna toh door.. saansein bhi tham tham kar aa rahi thi... mera poora shareer pasine mein naha chuka tha...

"Main.. Main tujhse bahut pyar karta hoon Anjali.. Itna pyar ki tum soch bhi nahi sakti.. Sirf tumhe ek baar dekhne ki khatir ghanton apne ghar ki deewar se gali mein dekhta rahta hoon.. par tumhare saamne ye sab bolne ki meri himmat hi nahi huyi..." Manisha dheere dheere bolne lagi...

Mujhe uski baatein bahut ajeeb lag rahi thi.. wo bhi ek ladki aur main bhi.. 'ye kaisa pyar?' main mann hi mann bhagwan se mujhe wahan se nikal lene ki prarthna karti rahi....

"Tum bhi kuchh bolo na Anju! main kaisa lagta hoon tumhe..?" Mainsha ne mere gaal par hath rakha aur apna khurdara angootha mere kaanp rahe honton par rakh liya...," Bolo na kuchh.. aise kyun tadpa rahi ho tum..." Ladki ki jubaan se mardana jajbaat.. sachmuch bada hi ajeeb pal tha wo.. mere liye....

"Mm..mmmain.. kaise boloon..? tttum mmujhe bhi maar dogi.." Mujhe vishvas ho chala tha ki Manisha ne Tarun ko bhi aise hi maar diya hoga.. bolne par..

"Aey pagal.. tu toh meri jaan hai.. tujhe bhala mein kaise maar sakta hoon.. tu darr kyun rahi hai Anju?" Manisha ne kah kar mujhe apne seene se chipka liya.. hamari chhatiyan ek dusri ki chhatiyon se takra gayi...

"ttum hi toh.... kah rahi thi ki main boli toh tum jaan se maar dogi..." Maine darte darte kaha....

"Hat pagal! wo toh main khud hi darr gaya tha.. ki tumne mujhe pahchan liya.. uska ye matlab thode hi tha... plz.. kuchh bolo na!" Manisha ne mere chehre ko chumbano se labrej karte huye kaha....

"Mujhe jane do plz..!" Mere munh se darte darte nikla...

"Kya? iska matlab tum mujhse pyar nahi karti! kya tum sach mein mujhse pyar nahi karti Anju!" Uske shabdon mein nirasha aur hatasha saaf jhalak rahi thi...

"Nahi.. karti hoon..!" Main apni kamar par sakht hote uske hathon ko mahsoos karke kaanp uthi..

"Jhooth bol rahi ho na tum.. pls.. mujhe sach sach bata do.. tum mujhse pyar karti ho ya nahi.. pls Anju.. main tumhare munh se 'haan' sun'ne ko tadap raha hoon.." Manisha bolti rahi..

"Jhooth nahi bol rahi.. tum mujhe bahut achchhi lagti ho.. bahut pyari.. sach mein!" Mujhe laga, mere bachne ka sirf yahi ek raasta hai...

"Fir jaane dene ke liye kyun bol rahi ho.. mujhse pyar karo na.. uss din bhi toh kiya tha tumne.. kitni achchhi tarah.... kitna pyara hai tumhara shareer... har jagah se.. kitni rasili si ho tum...!" Manisha mujhe ye sab bolti huyi duniya ka aathwan ajooba lag rahi thi.. haa! koyi ladka hota toh.....

"Ppata nahi kyun.. aaj.. yahan andhere mein mujhe darr sa lag raha hai... main isiliye bol rahi thi bus.." Maine safayi di...

"Mere ghar chaltein hain... neeche koyi nahi hota.. chalo!" Manisha ne mujhe chhod kar mera hath pakad kar mujhe kambal mein apne sath lapeta aur bahar ki aur chalne lagi... Na toh meri 'na' kahne ki himmat thi.. aur na hi main 'na' kah payi.. haan.. gali mein uss waqt koyi aa jata toh shayad main uss'se bachne ki koshish kar leti.. par koyi nahi aaya.. hum choupal se nikle aur uske ghar mein ghus gaye....

------------------------------

Andar kamre mein jaate hi usne darwaja aur khidkiyan band ki aur kambal utaar kar charpayi par rakh diya... Maine mahsoos kiya.. roshni mein wo mujhse najrein milane se katra rahi thi..," Kuchh logi tum?" usne chehra jhukaye huye poochha...

"Nahi....." Uske ishara karne ke baad mein charpayi par jakar baith gayi.. ab darr bahar utna nahi tha.. par andar waise ka waisa hi tha......

"Mithayi laaun?" Uski aankhein ab bhi deewar ko hi dekh rahi thi....

"Nahi.. kuchh nahi.. mujhe bhookh nahi hai...!" Maine jawaab diya...

Manisha ne mere paas charpayi par baith kar mera hath apne dono haathon mein liya aur usko dheere dheere sahlane lagi," Kuchh bolo na.. tum toh kuchh bolti hi nahi..."

"Mmain kya boloon.. Meri toh..." Main bolte huye ruk gayi.. usne bolna shuru kar diya tha..," Batao na.. main kaisa lagta hoon tumhe? tumhe pata hai main kab se tumse pyar karta hoon...?"

"Tum ladki ho didi!" Maine himmat karke bol hi diya..

"Toh? ... toh kya hua?" Usne poochha....

Uski aawaj mein hulke se badlaav se hi main darr gayi.. badi mushkil se maine apni baat ko sambhala..," nahi... kuchh nahi hua... main toh bus... main toh ye poochh rahi thi ki tum ladkon ki tarah 'ta hoon'.. 'ta hoon' kyun bolti ho?"

"Achchha.. ye!" wo muskurate huye boli..," pata nahi.. mujhe aise hi bolna achchha lagta hai.. aur khas tour par tab; jab mera..." Wah bolte huye ruki aur najrein jhuka li," jab mera pyar karne ka mann ho!"

"Achchhaaaaa.." Maine sir hilate huye jawab diya.. mera hath ab bhi uske hathon mein hi tha.. jise wo ab tak bade pyar se sahla rahi thi....," Ek baat bol doon.. gussa nahi hona..!" maine banawati pyar aankhon mein utaar liya...

"Bol na! teri kasam.. bilkul gussa nahi karoonga...!" Manisha ne bade pyar se kaha...

"Wo.. thodi der baad mujhe jana padega.. nahi toh Pinky ki mummy mere ghar par fone karke poochhegi...." Maine darkar uski aankhon mein dekhne ki koshish ki..

kuchh der wah yunhi mere chehre ko pyar se dekhti rahi.. fir mere chehre ko apne haathon mein le liya..," theek hai.. par ek baar pyar kar le.. usi din se tadap raha hoon.. tumse pyar karne ke liye...!" uski baat mein aadesh bhi tha aur prarthna bhi..

'na' kahne ki sochne se bhi darr lag raha tha mujhe.... pahli baar mujhe lag raha tha ki Manisha 'pagal' hai... Maine usko nipta dena hi theek laga," theek hai.. kar lo..!" Maine feeki si muskurahat chehre par lakar kaha...

"Sare kapde nikal kar achchhe se pyar karenge.. theek hai?" Usne poochha....

"Par.. par koyi aa gaya toh?" Maine jawab mein poochha..

"Yahan toh din mein bhi koyi nahi aata.. raat mein koun aayega.. tum darr kyun rahi ho?" usne mujhe kandhon se pakad kar hila diya...

"Theek hai.." Maine kaha aur apni shirt ke button kholne lagi...

"Ruko.. main nikaaloonga.. pyar se!" Manisha ne kaha aur mujhe kheench kar apni god mein baitha liya.....

 

[soukoli]

Meri shirt ko mere badan se nikalne ke baad Manisha ne meri ek chhati ko apne hath mein pakad liya," Kitni pyari hai tu.. bra kabhi nahi daalti kya?"

Meri chhati ke daane par uski ungali lagte hi wo jitna ho sakta tha, tan kar khada ho gaya.. aur sakht hokar chhoti kismis ke jaisa ban gaya.. sirf rang ka fark tha.. 'dana' ek dam gulabi tha.. maine usko dekha aur aankhein band karke boli," Nayiii.."

"Ek minute aise hi rah.." Usne kaha aur mere 'daaney' ko honton ke beech daba liya.. meri siski nikal gayi," aaah.."

"Kya hua? maine toh daant se bhi nahi kaata.. aise hi honton mein lekar dekha tha.." Usne mere daaney se munh hataya aur mere gaalon ka chumban leti huyi boli..

Main kuchh nahi boli.. aankhein band kiye uski god main padi rahi..

"Maja aa raha hai na.. Anju?" Usne pyar se mere baalon mein hath ferte huye poochha...

Maine apna sir 'haan' mein hila diya.. maja nahi aa raha hota.. toh bhi mujhe yahi karna tha..

"Tera toh chehra hi itna pyara hai ki dekh kar hi dil machal jata hai.. main toh kabhi bhi ye nahi sochta tha ki tujhe roshni mein bhi pyar kar paaunga.. ab mujhe tu mil gayi.. aur kuchh nahi chahiye.. teri kasam!" Manisha boli...

Mera dhyan uski baaton se jyada meri chhatiyon par thirak rahe uske hath par tha... badey hi pyar se wah meri seb jaisi tani huyi chhatiyon ko sahla rahi thi. mere badan mein uske hath ke neeche meri yoni tak chale jane ki tadap badhne lagi.. main thoda soch kar boli," tum bhi nikal do na!"

"Nahi.. tum nikalo apne hath se...!" usne kahne ke baad mujhe apni god se neeche utar kar charpayi par baitha diya aur mere saamne apni chhatiyan taan kar apne hath upar utha liye... Maine uski kameej neeche se pakdi aur upar kheenchte huye nikal di... Main uski chhatiyon par bandhe kapde ko dekh kar boli," Ye kya hai?" mobile bhi usi kapde mein fansa hua saaf dikh raha tha...

"Ye..?" Mera ishara samajh kar wah neeche dekh kar boli," ye maine inko baandh rakha hai iss kapde mein.. upar uthi huyi mujhe achchhi nahi lagti!" Usne kaha aur mujhe wapas apni god mein kheench liya... agle hi pal usne meri skirt ka hook khola aur mujhe upar utha kar skirt ko meri taangon se bahar nikal diya...

"aah.. aaj toh tu mujhe poori nangi dekhne ko milegi..!" uske munh se laar tapak kar mere nange pate par ja giri.. Usne mujhe ek baar fir upar uthaya aur meri kachchhi bhi neeche sarkayi aur maine apne panje upar utha diye.. kachchhi charpayi par aa giri....

"Haye.. kitni pyari hai.. iss par toh poori tarah 'jhantein' bhi nahi ugi hain.. uushhhh.....gori gori si makkhan jaisi..." Kahte huye usne meri jaanghon ke beech hath dekar meri yoni par ungaliyan ghumayi..

"aaaaaaahhhh" maine sisak kar apni jaanghein faila di... aur apni yoni ko dekhne lagi.....

Shayad thand ki wajah se meri yoni sikud kar aur bhi chhoti si ho gayi thi.. yoni ki faankon ke sikudne ki wajah se unmein silwatein si bani huyi thi... aur unke beech ki nanhi nahi pattiyan aapas mein chipki huyi thi...

Manisha ne apni ek ungali aur angoothe ki sahayata se meri yoni ki faankon ko failakar unn pattiyon ko alag alag kiya aur sisak kar unke beech anguli rakh kar boli..," Haye re.. tera toh ang ang gulabi hai.. tere hont gulabi.. tere choochak gulabi.. aur teri ye bhi andar se poori gulabi hai... tu mujhe kaise mil gayi meri jaaaaaaannnn.." Bolte hi usne mere honton par apne hont rakhe aur meri risne lagi yoni mein apni ungali andar ghusa di... aanand ke maare main pagal si ho gayi aur maine apne nitamb upar utha diye....

"Maja aaya..?" Usne ungali ko bahar karke fir se andar sarka diya aur mere hont chhod kar poochha....

"AAAhaaaaaan.." Maine lambi saans li aur boli...," Tum bhi nikal do apni.. main bhi aise hi karoongi tumhe...." Kahkar aawesh mein maine uski chhatiyon par bandhe kapde par daant gada diye....

Meri baat sunkar wah bahut khush huyi.. mujhe alag bithaya aur khadi hokar ek hi jhatke mein naada kholte hi salwar aur panty.. dono nikal di... Mujhse sabra nahi ho raha tha...Maine usi waqt aage hokar apna hath uski jaanghon ke beech fansa diya... uski kaale baalon wali yoni mein ungali ghusane ke liye....

"Ruko toh ek minute.. wahin aa raha hoon.. charpayi par.." Kah kar usne apni salwar apni kameej ke upar rakhi aur charpayi par khadi ho gayi..," Ek minute.."Usne kaha aur mujhe lita kar meri taangon ki taraf munh karke late gayi.. uski jaanghon ke beech dubki huyi uski yoni meri aankhon ke saamne thi... Mere jaanghon par hath lagate hi usne apni jaanghein khol di aur mere nitambon ko pakadte huye mujhe apne chehre ki aur kheench liya....

Uski yoni ki faankein saanwli si thi aur meri faankon se doguni moti bhi.. maine apne dono hathon se uski faankon ko alag alag kiya aur uska chhed dhoondha.. mujhe aascharya hua.. meri yoni ke mukable doguni yoni ka chhed meri yoni ke jitna hi tha... andar se bhi uska rang saanwla hi tha.. Uski yoni andar bahar sari ras se bheegi huyi thi... maine apni ek ungali ko uski faankon se ragad kar geela kiya aur chhed par rakh kar andar dhakel di....

Manisha sisak uthi aur uske mote mote nitamb thirak uthe... par agle hi pal uchhalne ki baari meri thi...

"aaaeeeeiiiiiiiieeee.. ye kya kar rahi ho.." Maine apne nitambon ko uchhal kar meri jaanghon ke beech ghuse huye uske munh se alag kiya....

".. achchha nahi laga kya?" Usne meri taraf dekh kar poochha.....

"Bahut achchha.. lag raha hai.. par sahan nahi ho raha.. gudgudi mach rahi hai.. maine apne nitamob ko wapas uske hath mein dheela chhod kar kaha....

"Karne do na.. bahut achchhi gandh aa rahi hai.. tumhari 'iss' mein se.. choosne do na thodi si der.." Manisha ne pyar se kaha....

Maine aage sarak kar apni jaanghein khol di aur gour se uski yoni ko dekhti huyi apni ungali andar bahar karne lagi...

"aaaah...Ek minute bus..." Kahkar wah uthi aur mujhe seedha karke lita liya.. uske baad wah mere chehre ke dono aur door door apne ghutne tika kar mere upar aa gayi... main bade pyar se uske oonche uthe huye nitambon ke beech ki gahri daraar aur pichhe ki taraf munh khole khadi yoni ko dekhne lagi.. Maine apna hath neche se bahar nikala aur apni ungali ko yoni ke aakar mein uss par ghumane lagi...

Usne meri jaanghon ko pichhe ki aur karte huye apne hath iss tarah se unmein fansa liye jaise ek baar Anil chacha aur sunder ne mummy ke sath kiya tha.. main kalpna karne lagi ki meri yoni bhi mummy ki yoni ki tarah khul kar upar dekhne lagi hogi....

Achanak wah uss par jhuki aur apni jeebh ko meri yoni ki daraaron mein upar neeche chalane lagi... maine chhatpata kar nitambon ko alag hatane ki koshish ki.. par meri jaanghein manisha ki baajuon mein jakdi huyi thi.. main hil tak nahi saki.... wah behichak meri yoni ko lapar lapar chat'te huye dheere dheere mere chhed mein jeebh ghusane ki koshish karne lagi.. main pagal si ho gayi.. aanand ke maare main siskiyan lete huye apne hath ki mutthi banakar uske nitambon par patapat maarne lagi.. par usne ji bhar kar choosne ke baad hi apna munh wahan se hataya...

"Kya hua? tum toh karo ungali se..." Usne kaha....

Meri saansein aniyantrit si ho chuki thi.. maine haanfte huye kaha..," Mujhse wahan jeebh sahan nahi ho rahi.. bahut jyada gudgudi ho rahi hai.. meri cheekh nikal jayegi... tum bhi ungali se karo.. maja aata hai..."

"Achchha ruko..!" Usne kaha aur uthkar baith gayi aur mujhe bhi baithne ko kaha...

Maine apni jaanghein failakar apni yoni ko dekha.... uski sari silwatein gayab ho chuki thi.. meri yoni ke ras aur uske thook se sani huyi 'wah' phool kar chhoti si double roti ki tarah ho gayi thi...," Karo na ungali...." Maine chhatpata kar kaha...

"Apni taangein seedhi karo.."Usne kaha.. maine kar li...

Meri ek jaangh ko apni ek jaangh ke upar chadha kar wah aage sarak aayi.. hum dono ki yoniyan ek dusri ke aamne saamne thi.. meri samajha mein nahi aa raha tha.. wah kya karna chahti hai....

"Thodi si aage aa jao.. meri choot se apni choot mila lo.." Usne kaha...

Mujhe thoda sa tedha hona pada.. par maine aage sarak kar uski yoni se apni yoni mila di.. aur uske chehre ki aur dekhne lagi....," Ab?"

Usne jawab nahi diya.. par jaise hi wah hili.. uski yoni ke kade aur kaale kaale baal meri yoni par andar bahar chubhne lage.. par uss chubhan mein ek alag hi maja aaya.. maine thodi si aur jaanghein khol di aur uski yoni se apni yoni bilkul chipka di....

"Aise hi karo naaaaa... aaaaaah.. tum bhi.. maja aa raha hai na?" usne apne nitambon ko upar neeche karte karte huye aankhein band karke poochha....


"Haaan.. bahut maja aa raha hai... aaaaaahhh.." Main sisakte huye uss'se bhi jyada tezi se upar neeche hone lagi... uske baal 'yoni mein ghus kar ek alag hi maja de rahe the... uski pata nahi.. par meri aankhein band thi.. aur main badbadate huye lagataar upar neeche ho rahi thi...

2 minute se jyada main aisa nahi kar payi.. main bhi thak chuki thi aur meri yoni ne bhi apne hath utha diye the.. ras nikal kar meri aur uski jaanghon par fail gaya...

Main nidhal hokar gir padi....," Bus.. Bus..Bus..."

Usne mera kahna maan liya... uthkar alag huyi aur mere upar late kar meri chhatiyon ko chooste huye ek ungali meri yoni mein utari aur dusre hath se tezi ke sath apni yoni mein ungali andar bahar karne lagi.... Mera bura haal tha.. aur aakhir aate aate uska bhi... kuchh der baad wah bhi meri chhatiyon par sir rakh kar haanfne lagi......

" Tumne ye kyun kaha ki Tarun achchha ladka nahi tha..." Maine mouke ka faayda uthate huye poochha.....

"Chhodo na.. bus maine bata diya na ki nahi tha.. aur jab tumhe pata hi hai toh kyun poochh rahi ho..." Manisha ne apni saanson par kaabu paate huye kaha aur meri yoni mein se apni ungali nikal li....

"Mmujhe kya pata? tum aise kyun bol rahi ho...?" Main uth kar baith gayi....

"Ek baat bataaun?" Usne kaha... main uski aur dekhne lagi....

"Ek din Tarun tumhe choupal mein lekar gaya tha na...?" Usne ghoor kar mujhe dekhte huye kaha....

Mujhse koyi jawab dete na bana.. par mujhe vishvas ho gaya ki jab hum dono bahar khade the.. toh jis saye ka mujhe aabhas hua tha.. wo wahi thi.. Manisha!

"Mujhe sab pata hai.. uss din main teri taak mein wahin khadi thi.. choupal ke darwaje par.. par Tarun tere sath aa gaya.. mujhe bada dukh hua.. fir jab tum dono wahin khade ho gaye toh main choupal mein ghus gayi.. ki kahin Tarun dekh na le.. thodi der baad Tarun tumhe lekar andar hi aa gaya.. maine tumhari sari baatein suni thi....!" Manisha ne bataya....

Main chupchap uske chehre ko ghoorti rahi...

"Sach mein bahut kamina tha wo.. achchha hua jo mar gaya...!" Wah uth kar apne kapde pahan'ne lagi.. maine bhi apna skirt utha kar kachchhi dhoondhni shuru kar di....

"Kal fir aaogi na? Main tumhara intjaar karoongi..." Manisha ne kapde pahante hi mere paas aakar mujhe choom liya...

"ye.. mera mobile...!" Maine uski baat taal kar uski aankhon mein dekhte huye kaha....

"Haan..." Usne apni chhatiyon mein hath daal kar usko nikal kar mere hath mein pakda diya," Ye lo... mujhe yaad nahi raha tha... kal fir aaogi na?"

"koshish karoongi.. par abhi exam chal rahe hain.... pakka nahi kah sakti..." Maine majboori ka vaasta diya...

"Theek hai.. par abhi ek pyari si 'chummi' toh de jao.." Usne mujhe darwaje ke bahar se wapas bula liya...

Main jabaran muskurayi aur wapas aakar uske paas khadi ho gayi...

Usne thoda sa neeche jhuk kar mere honton ko apne honton mein daba liya.. aur meri kamar mein hath daal kar kafi der tak inhe choosti rahi.. aur fir alag hatkar boli," Tumse meethi cheez duniya mein koyi nahi ho sakti!



"Anjuuuuuu!" Meenu ne mujhe agle din subah shahar le jane ke liye aawaj lagayi...

"Aayiii didi... bus ek minute..." Maine munder par khade hokar usko bola.. main taiyaar ho chuki thi.. par iss udedhbun mein thi ki mobile ko yahin chhupa doon ya sath lekar jaaun.. Chhotu ka darr tha.. usko hamesha ghar mein kuchh na kuchh tatolte rahne ki aadat thi.. Isiliye maine apni kameej nikaali aur bra pahan kar fone chhatiyon mein chhupa liya... aur neeche utar gayi...

---------------------------------------------------

"Hello!" Meenu ne inspector ke mobile par STD se phone kiya..

udhar se aaya jawaab mujhe sunayi nahi diya... par Meenu ki baaton ko main bade gour se sun rahi thi....

" Ji.. wo.. aapne mujhe shahar aakar fone karne ke liye bola tha.. isiliye...."

"Main.. Meenu bol rahi hun.. parson aap..."

"Jji.. kal meri tabiyat kharaab thi.. isiliye main..."

"Abhi toh college ke paas hi hoon..."

"Theek hai Sir.. "

"Nahi.. mere sath 'wo' Anjali bhi aayi huyi hai.. usko kuchh shopping..."

"Nahi.. usko kahan chhodoon Sirrr..? wo shahar mein nayi nayi aayi hai..."

"Theek hai sir.. main intzaar kar rahi hoon.. wahin jakar..." Meenu ne udaasi bhare chehre se fone rakhne ke baad STD waale se poochha,"Kitne paise ho gaye....?"

"2 rupaiye!" STD wala mujhe ghoor kar dekhta hua bola...

Meenu ne paise diye aur hum bahar aa gaye... Maine nikalte hi poochha..," Kya kah raha tha wo?"

"15 minute mein aa raha hai.. mujhe college ke bahar gate par khade hone ko bola hai....."Meenu ne chalte chalte jawaab diya...

"Aur main? .... main kahan rahoongi tab tak....?" Maine poochha...

"Tu mere paas hi rahna.. woh bole toh bhi tu door mat jana.. mujhe toh ghatiya type ka lagta hai....!" Meenu meri aur dekh kar boli....

"Kyun didi? ghatiya kyun...?" Maine hairani si dikhate huye uss'se sawaal kiya....

"bus.. aisi hi bakwas kar raha tha.. bola aise maje nahi aayenge.. Anju ko kahin alag bhej do....!" Meenu ne jawaab diya aur boli," bus.. yahin khadi hoja.. yahi hai college.. gate par khade achchhe nahi lagenge.. wahan ladke khade rahte hain..."

Main kuchh nahi boli.. kuchh der baad dheere se Meenu ne hi mujhse kaha," Wo.. tu kuchh mat bolna.. School wali baat ke baare mein..."

"Theek hai.. par kyun?" Maine bhi uski tarah hi dheere bolna shuru kar diya...

"Pahle iski baat sunenge.. agar dhang se baat ki toh main bata doongi.. warna.. khamkha tumhe bhi tang karega... aur kya pata.. fir Pinky ko bhi bulane laga toh..?" Meenu ne mujhe samjhaate huye kaha...

"Theek hai didi... par kya pata.. 'sir' ne kuchh kiya hi na ho!" Maine kaha...

"haan.. ho sakta hai.. par aur koun karega?" Meenu ne aadhi si sahmati jatayi...

"Nahi.. bus main toh aise hi bol rahi hoon..." Main bol kar chup ho gayi.. par mere dimag main rah rah kar manisha ka khayaal aa raha tha.. usne kal mujhe bhi toh shor karne par jaan se maarne ki dhamki di thi... kya pata Tarun ko bhi aise hi pakad liya ho.. aur wo darr kar shor machane laga ho...

hamein wahan khade aadhe ghante se bhi upar ho gaya tha.. Meenu bechain hone lagi thi...

"Didi!" Maine khayaalon mein khoyi huyi Meenu ka hath pakad kar toka...

"Haan...."

"Ye Manisha kuchh ajeeb si ladki nahi hai...?" Maine kaha...

"Ye Manisha ka jikar kyun kar rahi ho..?" Meenu ne palat kar poochha...

"Bus.. yunhi... mujhe toh pagal lagti hai aadhi..." Maine kaha...

"Kyun?"

"Kal mein aapke ghar se apne ghar ja rahi thi toh main yunhi uske paas chali gayi.. Tarun wali baat poochhne ke liye... Mujhe neeche baithakar upar bhag gayi.. 5 minute baad aayi.. kapde badal kar.. aur mere liye mithayi lekar.. mujhe jabardasti sari khila kar hi wapas aane diya..." Main jo bata sakti thi.. usmein apni taraf se 'jabardasti' jod diya.....

"Ismein pagalpan wali baat kya hai.. koyi hamare ghar aata hai toh hum bhi toh aisa hi karte hain.. wo toh becharo bahut shareef hai.. kisi se jyada baat hi nahi karti.. apna kaam karti rahti hai sara din...!" Meenu ne meri baat kaati...

"Haan.. par kapde badalne wali baat mujhe aur bhi ajeeb lagi.. wo toh hamesha gande kapde pahne rahti hai.. aur waise bhi.. jab main gayi toh woh 'gobar' uthane wali thi.. bhainson ka... aur wo ladkon ki tarah se bolti hai..." Maine kaha...

"Hamesha nahi bolti.. par ekaadh baar uske munh se nikal jata hai.. kaam ladkon ke karti hai na! isiliye aadat ho gayi hogi... aur waise bhi..." Meenu apni baat ko poora nahi kar payi thi ki pichhe se aa rahi do ladkiyon ne hamein pakad liya....

"Kaisi ho Meenu.. yahan kya kar rahi ho?.. 3 din se college mein dikh hi nahi rahi..." Ek ne poochha...

"Ohh..shwetaaaa! tumne toh mujhe dara hi diya tha.. chalo.. hum thodi der mein aate hain..." Meenu sakpaka si gayi thi...

"Ye.. tumhari behan hai kya?" Shweta ne meri aur dekh kar kaha...

"Haan.. behan hi..." Meenu jawaab de rahi thi.. par Shweta ne usko beech mein hi rukne par majboor kar diya...," haan.. shakal se lag rahi hai.. par hai tumse bhi sunder..." Shweta ne kah kar meri taraf hath badha diya,"Hello darling!"

Tabhi hamein college ke gate par horn sunayi diya.. Police ki jeep khadi thi.. Meenu sakpaka si gayi..," Tum chalo shweta! hum thodi der baad aate hain..."

"Ohh comm'on yaar.. chal na.. canteen mein chalkar baithte yahan.. ab yahan kya karogi...?" Shweta mera hath kheenchte huye boli....

"Samjha karo yaar.. hamein kuchh kaam hai.. chalo toh..." Meenu bolte bolte achanak chup ho gayi.... Jeep hamare paas aakar ruki.. usmein wohi dono police waale the...

"chalo.. baitho!" Inspector ne sakht aawaj mein kaha....

Meenu hadbada kar Shweta ki aur dekhne lagi..," Tum chalo.. hum aate hain...!"

Shweta aur dusri ladki zeep ko dekhte huye aage badh gaye... Meenu runwasa sa munh banakar boli..," aap yahin kar lo.. jo baatein karni hain...!"

Inspector batteesi nikal kar apne munh mein kuchh chabata hua bola,"Yahan karne ki baatein hoti toh ghar par hi na kar leta... chalo.. jaldi baitho peechhe..."

"Aap toh iss tarah hamein police jeep mein baithne ko bol rahe ho.. jaise hum mujrim hain... yahan college ke saamne... kya sochenge sab?" Meenu idhar udhar dekhti huyi boli.. Shweta aur wo ladki kuchh aage khadi hokar hamein hi dekh rahi thi...

"Ohh.. my mistake...!" Kahkar inspector jeep se utra aur ek hath se Meenu ka hath pakad kar dusra hath uski kamar par rakh liya aur zor se bola," Sorry dear.. tumhe jyada intjaar karna pada..." Kahne ke baad uski tone dheemi ho gayi," Kya hai ki abhi meri shadi nahi huyi.. dahej mein badi gadi milne ki ummeed hai.. isiliye aajkal isi se kaam chala raha hoon....!"

Uski baat sunkar Meenu sakpaka uthi," hath kyun pakad rahe ho.. yahan.. sab kya sochenge..?"

"Ohho.. maharani ji.. toh kaise karoon main.." Inspector dono hath jod kar Meenu ki aur aage jhuk gaya," Policiya andaaj mein bolta hoon toh kahti ho ki log kya sochenge... khud neeche utar kar apni ijjat ki khichdi karke tumhe ijjat de raha hoon toh kahti ho ki log kya sochenge... mujhe nahi pata.. fatafat gadi mein baith jao...!" Usne tunak kar kaha aur wapas jakar baith gaya...

dono ladkiyan hamari hi aur dekh kar hans rahi thi.. unhe shayad Manav ki jor se kahi baatein sun li thi... Meenu ne mera hath pakda aur mujhe lekar jeep mein baith gayi.......

" Chacha, shahar ki kisi jhakaas jagah par chhod do hamein...!" Inspector sikud kar baithi huyi Meenu ki aur dekh kar muskuraya....

Motey police wale driver ne apni kheense nipori..,"Janaab.. iss kaam ke liye toh Hotel Natraj badhiya rahega.. jab mein city thane mein tha.. toh wahan se bahut chanda aata tha hamare paas.. he he he...."

"Theek hai.. uss'se thodi pahle rok dena.. hum paidal chale jayenge....!" Inspector ne driver wali seat par hath tika liya....

"Fir toh utar jao janaab.. yahan se 20-25 kadam ki doori par hi hai..." Police wale ne gadi rok di,"Wo.. aapko lene aaun ki nahi janaab...?"

"Nahi.. main aa jaaunga.. mujhe shayad kahin aur nikalna pade..." Inspector ne gadi se utar kar hamein neeche aane ka ishara kiya... hum dono neeche aakar apna sir jhukakar khade ho gaye....

"Janab! wo uss ladke ki call detail bhi aa gayi hai.. aapko abhi doon ya table mein rakhwa doon jakar...." Police wale ne chalne se pahle poochha....

"Oh haan... lao.. mujhe hi de do!" Inspector ne uss'se kuchh liya aur usko bhej diya...

"Mere pichhe pichhe aa jao.. tumhe bolne ki koyi jarurat nahi hai.." Inspector ne kadak aawaj mein kaha aur hum uske pichhe chal pade....

Idhar udhar dekh kar chal raha Inspector achanak muda aur hamein ungali se sath aane ka ishara karke ek hotel mein ghus gaya.. hum bhi uske sath hi andar chale gaye.. counter par ek nepali sa ladka baitha tha.. hamein dekh kar wo muskuraya aur inspector se kaha,"Bolo!"

Inspector ne sir jhukaya aur apne mathe par khujate huye bola," room mil jayega kya?"

"Dono ke liye?" ladke ne poochha... Inspector ne mud kar meri taraf dekha toh maine kaskar Meenu ka hath pakad liya.. wo bina kuchh bole hi ghooma aur ladke se kaha,"Haan!"

"Double charge lagega dono ke liye!" Ladka baar baar hamari aur dekh raha tha...

"Humm... iss'se achchha toh 2 kamre hi le leta hoon..." Inspector ne kuchh soch kar jawab diya....

"Aapki marji hai sahab.. chahe teen le lo! par sabka hi double charge lagega..." Ladke ne muskurakar kaha....

"Rate kya hai?" Inspector ne poochha....

"Ek kamre ka ek ghante ka 1000!" usne bataya....

"kamal hai yaar... itna toh poori raat ka bhi nahi banta...." Inspector ne usko ghoor kar dekha.. par wo aaram se hi baat kar raha tha.. shayad wo batana nahi chahta hoga ki wo inspector hai.....

"Iss kaam ke liye toh itna hi rate hai sahab... akele hote toh poori raat ka 600 hi lete...!" Usne sharafat se kaha....

"Theek hai... kamra dikha do!" inspector ne kaha....

"Aey munna!" Nepali ne aawaj lagayi aur dusre ladke ke aane par bola," sahab ko 7 no. dikha de...!"

"Tum yahin ruko.." Inspector ne hamein kaha aur dusre ladke ke sath andar chala gaya....

Inspector ke jaate hi nepali ne hamari aur dekh kar batteesi nikal di... aur kuchh der baad bola," Bura na mano toh.. ek baat kahoon madam?"

Meenu ne toh shayad uski aur dekha bhi nahi.. par meri najrein uss'se mil gayi...

"Wo kya hai ki... yahan aane wale customers..... nayi ladkiyon ki demaand karte hain... agar.. aapka koyi contact no. ho toh.. sirf 10 % par mein unko aapka no. de doonga.....!" Nepali ne kaha....

"Shut up you bastard!" Meenu ne ghoor kar usko gali di.. meri toh tab samajh mein bhi nahi aaya tha ki aisi uss nepali ne kya baat kah di thi.... par Meenu ka tamtamaya hua chehra dekh kar wo Nepali saham sa gaya tha.....

 

[soukoli]

Tabhi inspector aaya aur hamein andar bulakar le gaya.....



"Haaaaaaan.. toh baat wahin se shuru karte hain, jahan khatam huyi thi.." Kahkar inspector ne ek lambi saans li... wah kamre mein jakar wahan rakhi huyi do kursiyon mein se ek par baith gaya.. humein usne apne saamne bister par baithne ko kah diya tha.. main Meenu ki barabar mein baithi Manav ke chehre ki aur dekh rahi thi....

"Tum dono ne kaha tha ki Tarun uss raat 11 baje tumhare ghar se gaya hai.. kaha tha na?" Inspector ne Meenu se sawaal kiya....

Meenu kuchh der chupchap baithi rahi.. fir chehra neeche kiye huye hi apna sir hila diya," jji..."

"Aur ye jhooth hai.. hai na?" Inspector ne tippani ki....

Hum dono sir jhukaye baithe rahe... kisi ki bhi bolne ki himmat na huyi....

"Uss din tumhare gaanv ki kisi ladki ne bataya tha ki choupal mein usne 9:00 baje ke aaspaas jhagde ki aawaj suni thi... par main iss baat ko lekar aaswast nahi tha ki unmein se ek Tarun jaroor hoga... isiliye main ye sochkar chup raha ki ho sakta hai ki tum sach bol rahi ho aur wahan jhagda karne wale Tarun ke alawa koyi aur hon... par ab sab kuchh sheeshe ki tarah saaf hai... Tarun ki postmortum report ye kahti hai ki uska katl 9:15 aur 9:30 ke beech kiya gaya hai....

Iska matlab tumne jhooth bola... aur ye baat chhipane ka ek hi karan ho sakta hai... Tum katil ko bachana chahti ho.. aur tumhe sab kuchh pata hai... tumhare hi kahne par khoon kiya gaya hai...!" Inspector ne hum dono ko ghoorte huye kaha...

Meenu uski baat sunkar aankhon mein aansu le aayi aur uski aur dekh kar boli," Ye.. sach nahi hai Sir... Mujhe kuchh nahi pata.. bhagwan ki kasam!"

"Toh jhooth bolne ki wajah?" Inspector par uske aansuon ka hulka sa prabhav padta dikhayi diya....

"Wwo.. hum darey huye the.... Anju ne kaha tha.. isiliye maine bhi wahi kah diya...!" Meenu ne subakte huye kaha....

"Aur.... wo letters?" Inspector ne poochha....

Meenu ne iss baat ka koyi jawab nahi diya... wo sir jhukaye baithi rahi.....

"Iss baat ko maamuli baat mat samjho Meenu! Tarun ka khoon hua hai.. ye aansoo tapka kar tum na toh giragtaari se bach sakti ho.. aur na hi begunah shabit ho sakti ho... samajh rahi ho na meri baat... Tarun ke pate mein ek do baar nahi.. poore 13 baar chaku se vaar kiya gaya hai... saaf hai ki kisi ne gahri nafrat ke chalte aisa kiya hai... kyunki aam tour par junooni katil hi aisa karte hain...

Gaanv bhar mein maine pata kiya.. Tarun unki nazar mein ek shareef ladka tha... Fir aisa junooni toh koyi aashik hi ho sakta hai... aur kyunki Tarun ka tumhare sath kuchh lafda tha.. isiliye tumne apne kisi dusre aashiq se kah kar usko jaan se marwa diya... ab tak ki kahani toh yahi kahti hai.... tumhara kya kahna hai...?" Inspector bolne ke baad chup hokar Meenu ki aur dekhne laga....

Meenu bilakh uthi..," mera... vishvas kijiye sir.. mera koyi aash... main toh kisi se baat bhi nahi karti thi.. Tarun se bhi meri sirf dosti thi.. aur kuchh nahi.. bhagwan ki kasam..."

"Par.. unn letters ki bhasha toh kuchh aur hi kahti hai.. tumne usmein toh ye bhi likha hai ki tum Tarun ke sath sharirik sambandh banane ko tadap rahi ho.. aur ek dusre letter mein saaf saaf ye kahkar maafi maangi hai ki kisi ladke ke sath tumne najayaj sambandh banaye hain... aaj ke baad kisi dusre ladke ke sath sharirik sambandh nahi banaogi... wagairah wagairah.. aur wo bhi bahut behude shabdon mein.. bhagwan ki kasam khakar...." Inspector ne bola....

Uski baat sunkar Meenu ka rona aur tej ho gaya...," Wo sab.. pahle khud usne likhe the sir.. aur mujhse dusre kagaj par copy karwaye the.. maine apne paas se kuchh nahi likha.. main majboor thi..."

"Achchha! aisi kya majboori thi bhala....?" Inspector ne vyangya sa kiya....

"Aap samajh kyun nahi rahe... wo mujhse naraj hokar baatein karni chhod deta tha... dusri ladkiyon ke sath ghoomne lag jata tha...." Meenu subakte huye boli...

"Toh tumhe kya dikkat thi...? wo toh sirf tumhara dost hi tha... hai na!" Inspector bola....

Meenu iss baat par kuchh nahi bol payi .. kuchh der baad inspector ne hi bolna shuru kiya...,"Tum jitni chalak ban'ne ki koshish karogi.. utni hi tumhe dikkat hogi.. tumne jo kar diya hai, usko aansu dikha kar tum bach nahi sakti.. chupchap seedhe raaste par aa jao.. warna mujhe bhi tedhe raaste akhtiyaar karne padenge..." Inspector ne dhamki si di....

Meenu toot si gayi.. lag raha tha jaise usmein jaan hi nahi bachi hai..," Haan.. main uss'se pyar karti thi.. aur ye bhi samajhti thi ki wo bhi mujhse utna hi pyar karta hai.. par maine usko kabhi khud ko hath nahi lagane diya.. iss baat se wo roz roz mujhse naraj ho jata tha... par main uss'se baat kiye bina rah nahi pati thi.. aur usko manane ki koshish karti thi... par wo hamesha yahi shart rakhta tha.. uske sath relation banane ki.. par ye mujhe kisi keemat par manjoor nahi tha.. maine usko aur kuchh bhi karwane ko bola aur usne ye letters likhwa liye... maine tab bhi mana kiya tha.. par wo kahne laga ki iska matlab tumhe mujh par vishvas hi nahi hai... bus isi baat par maine usne jo kuchh bhi likh kar mujhe diya... maine dusre kagaj par utaar kar usko de diya..."

"chalo.. thodi der ke liye tumhari ye baat hi maan leta hoon... uske baad kya hua? usne tumhari blackmailing shuru kar di.. hai na?" Inspector bola....

"Haan.... usne 3-4 din se aisa karna shuru kiya tha... par main kisi tarah usko taalti rahi... uss din pahli baar maine letters ke badle uski baat maan lene ko kaha tha... isiliye wo 'letters' lene apne ghar chala gaya.. main soch rahi thi ki agar usne letters pahle hi wapas kar diye toh uski baat nahi maanoongi... mujhe uss'se nafrat ho gayi thi... par 'wo' lout kar aaya hi nahi... 11 baje ki baat Anju ne isiliye aapko kahi thi ki kahin mere papa iss'se ye na poochhein ki wo padhaye bina kyun chala gaya wapas..." kahkar Meenu chup ho gayi.....

"Tumhe pata hoga ki wo 'letters' ab mere paas hain... tum unhe wapas bhi lena chahti hogi.. hai na?" Inspector ka lahja achanak badal gaya...

Meenu ne uski baat ka koyi jawaab nahi diya....

"Ladka imaandaar tha.. apne waade ka pakka.. tumhari tarah nahi ki souda karo aur baad mein mukar jao.. wo sach mein letters lekar aaya tha.. uski jeb se mujhe ye letters mile.... wo baat alag hai ki usne inn letters ki copy kara rakhi ho.... jaise maine bhi nahi karayi hai abhi tak.. ha ha ha... kya samjhi....?" Inspector ne kahne ke baad Meenu ko dekh kar apne honton par jeebh feri...

"Sir.. mujhe sach mein kuchh nahi pata.. ab maine aapko sab kuchh sach sah bata diya hai....!" Meenu ne nirasha bhari najron se inspector ko dekh kar kaha....

"Theek hai.. maine maan li.. ab inn letters ka bhi main kya karoonga...? tumhe wapas chahiye na?" Inspector kahkar muskuraya...

"Jji.. sir.. aap inhe jala do.. pls.. mere ghar waalon ko inka pata chal gaya toh wo jeete ji mar jayenge..." Meenu ne prarthna ki....

"Aise hi... bina kuchh liye diye...! kuchh toh raham karo mujh par.... maine bhi badi mehnat ki hai.. yahan 2-4 hazar rupaiye bhi kharch karoonga... mera bhi toh kuchh banta hai na..." Inspector ne kaha....

"Jji.. kya matlab?" Meenu ne poochha....

"Oh.. ab itni bhi bholi mat bano.. Anju ko bahar bhej do aur......" Inspector ne apna sir khujaya...," aur kapde nikal do!"



Meenu sunte hi bhay se kaanpne si lagi.. ye darr uske 2 din pahle se hi sata raha tha.. Maine Meenu ki aankhon mein dekha aur isharon hi isharon mein uss'se poochha ki kya karoon... usne apne kaanpte huye hath se mujhe kaskar pakad liya,"yye kya kah rahe ho... aap?"

"Ab dobara bolna padega kya? Ja ladki.. bahar ghoom le thodi der.." Inspector ne gurra kar kaha toh meri wahan baithe rahne ki himmat nahi rahi.... maine bed se neeche utar kar Meenu se apni baanh chhudane lagi...

"Nahi Anju!" Meenu ne dusre hath se bhi mujhe pakad liya aur roni soorat bana kar boli," Tttum.. kahin mat jao pls..."

"Suna nahi kya tumne?" Inspector dobara chillaya....

"Yye.. jane nahi de rahi Sir.. isssko darr lag raha hai.." Maine bhola sa munh banakar inspector ki aur dekha....

"Theek hai fir.. tum yahan baithkar tamasha dekhna.. apna kaam toh mujhe har haal mein karna hai.. warna iske teeno letters case ke sath laga kar suspected ki list mein daal doonga... kaat'ti rahegi court ke chakkar...." Inspector ek baar khada hua fir wapas baith gaya.....

"Nahi sir.. nahi.. pls.. mujhe maaf kar do!" Meenu ne mujhe chhodkar inspector ki taraf dono hath jod liye aur gidgidane lagi....

"Maaf kar do? tumne mera kya bigada hai..? ye toh aapas ki soudebazi hai.. ya toh meri baat maan lo.. warna mujhe apni duty karne do.. jao agar jana chahti ho!" Inspector muskurata hua pair ke upar pair chadha kar baith gaya......

"Main barbaad ho jaaungi Sir... kuchh nahi bachega mere paas.... plssssss.. mujhe letter de do aur hamein jane do..." Meenu lagataar aansu baha rahi thi.. meri samajh mein nahi aa raha tha ki 'wo' aakhir itne achchhe mouke ko hath se kyun jane de rahi hai.... Maine meenu ke aansu pounchhte huye inspector se kaha," Sir.. aap isko na rulayiye.. aapko jo karna hai.. mere sath kar lijiye.. par pls.. meri didi ko chhod dijiye.... isko letter de dijiye...."

Maine jis andaaj mein apni kasak ka ijhaar kiya tha shayad ek baar toh Dilip kumar ji bhi hote toh meri peeth thapthapate... lahja bhawuk hone ke karan meri aankhon mein sachmuch hi aansu aa gaye the... par badle mein mujhe tab bhi inspector ki daant hi khane ko mili," yahan rahna hai toh chup chap apna munh band karke baithi rah.. warna bhaga doonga yahan se.. samajh gayi?"

Mujhe na ugalte bana na nigalte.. main mayoos hokar wapas bister par baith gayi...

"Idhar aa mere paas!" Inspector ne hamari taraf ungali se ishara kiya...

"Koun main?" Maine apni khushi ko chhupate huye kaha....

"Kaha na tu chup baith ja! ab tune ek shabd bhi bola toh kaan ke neeche lagaaunga ek..." Inspector ne mujhe fir dhamka diya.. meri toh ummeed hi khatam ho gayi...

Usne ek baar fir ungali se hi Meenu ki aur ishara karte huye kaha," Sunayi nahi de raha kya? khadi hokar idhar aa...!"

Meenu iss baar wahan baithe rahne layak himmat nahi juta payi... mare huye kadmon se mera hath pakde huye khadi huyi aur fir rengti huyi si uske paas jakar khadi ho gayi....

Inspector ne Meenu ka hath pakad kar apni aur kheench liya," Samasya kya hai tumhari? mere sath ek baar humbister hokar tumhe tumhare letters mil jayenge aur hamesha ke liye iss jhanjhat se chhutkara bhi.. fir bhi main tumhare upar chhod raha hoon... agar jana chahti ho toh jao.. aise ro kyun rahi ho?"

Meenu kuchh der chupchap khadi subakti rahi.. fir apna hath chhudane ki koshish karti huyi boli," Hamein jane do Sir.. main aisa nahi kar sakti... hamein yahan se jane do...!"

Inspector ne uska hath nahi chhoda.. kuchh der uski aur muskurata raha fir apni pichhli jeb mein hath daalkar kuchh kagaj nikale aur Meenu ki hatheli mein thama diye..," Ye lo tumhare letters! aur khushi khushi jao... mujhe tumhare andar ka sach jaan'ne ke liye itni asabhya bhasha ka istemaal karna pada.. iske liye sorry..! par wo jaroori tha.. jab tak main tumhari taraf se nischint nahi ho jata.. mera dimag baar baar aakar tum par hi atakta rahta... mere dil mein ab tak yahi baat thi ki tum itni shareef nahi ho jitni shakal se dikhti ho.... par main galat tha.. tum waisi hi ho jaisi dikhti ho.... aisi hi rahna!" Inspector ne uska hath chhod diya...

Main hairan thi.. par Meenu ko jaane kya hua.. wo achanak fafak fafak kar rone lagi...

"Arrey ab kya hua? Sorry bola na maine.. sach mein main itna bura nahi hoon, jitna tumne samajh liya tha... ladki ki ijjat kya hoti hai.. main achchhi tarah samajhta hoon.. par tahkikaat karne ka mera tareeka thoda juda hai.. uske liye maaf karna.. agar mujhe bina soche samjhe kuchh karna hota toh main tumhe yahan nahi bulata.. tumhare ghar waalon ke saamne hi gaanv walon ko ikattha karke tumse sawaal karta.... aur fir tumhe custody mein lena bhi police ke liye mushkil nahi tha... wahan ye sab karna aasan hota na? Par mujhe ye sab tumhari ijjat ko barkaraar rakhne ke liye hi karna pada... " Inspector ke chehre par ye sab bolte huye ek alag hi noor chamak raha tha," Abhi bahar tak mere sath hi chalna.. ab tumhe aur tang nahi karoonga... haan.. kisi tarah ki koyi jaankari tumhare paas ho toh bejhijhak mujhe bata dena... ek minute.. ye Tarun ke fone ki call detail hai.. ek baar iss par najar maar lo.. kuchh dimag mein aaye toh batana...." Kahkar usne list Meenu ke hathon mein de di....

Meenu mook si bani inspector ki aankhon mein hi dekhti rahi.. list ko apne hath mein pakde....

"Kya hua ab?" Inspector ne uski naak pakad kar kheench li.. aur hansne laga...

"Thanx... sir!" Meenu ne itna hi kaha aur apni najrein jhuka li...

"Manav! Manav bologi toh jyada achchha lagega mujhe..." Inspector ne kaha aur fir se muskura diya...

Meenu ne koyi jawaab nahi diya... wo khadi khadi list ko dekhne lagi.. fir Manav ki taraf sarak kar usko list dikhate huye boli..," Shayad ye Sonu ka no. hai... iske alawa main kisi no. ko nahi jaanti...."

"Sonu koun?" Inspector ne poochha....

Meenu ne munh pichka kar kaha..,"Uska dost hai.. par mujhe pahle nahi pata tha ki wo dono itne gahre dost hain...."

"Humm... Inspector ne apna mobile nikala..," abhi kahan hoga ye...?"

"Pata nahi Sir.. Gaanv mein hoga ya fir college aaya hoga..." Meenu ne jawab diya...

"Ok.. try karke dekhte hain..." Usne kaha aur no. mila diya....

Achanak meri chhatiyon mein current sa doud gaya... tabhi mujhe dhyan aaya.. Dholu ka fone 'wahin' hai... Maine usko wahin chhati mein daba liya....

"nahi.. utha nahi raha..." Inspector ne kaha aur fone ko dekhne laga... ek baar fir meri chhatiyon mein kampan shuru ho gayi... main kuchh soch kar darr gayi.. par maine apne aawegon ko uss waqt kaabu mein rakhna hi theek samjha....

"aao chalein...!" kahkar Inspector ne darwaja khola aur bahar nikal gaya....

Meenu ne meri aur dekha aur mushkurakar khushi ke aansu ludhka diye.. mera hath pakda aur hum bhi inspector ke pichhe pichhe ho liye....

Hotel se bahar nikalne ke baad Manav ne muskurakar hamari aur dekha aur kaha," Jao!"

Inspector palta hi tha ki Meenu ne usko aawaj laga di,"Hello.. Sir!"

"Haan.. bolo?" Inspector palta aur wapas aakar bola....

"Wo.. hamein aapko kuchh batana tha... aap kaho toh baad mein fone par...." Meenu ne hadbada kar kaha...

"Agar tumhe jaldi nahi hai toh abhi bata do... Tarun se related hai kya?" Inspector ne poochha....

"Ji... abhi bata dete hain.... par.. yahan... sir, aap kahin aur nahi chal sakte hain kya?" Meenu boli...

"Kyun nahi? par mujhe sir kahna band karo.. mujhe bura lag raha hai.. hamara college ek hi tha na...!" Inspector ne muskurakar kaha aur meenu ki taraf hath badha diya...

Meenu ne sharmakar muskurate huye meri aur dekha aur fir uski aankhon se thoda sa neeche dekhte huye uska hath pakad liya,"OK, Manav ji.. he he he..."



"Thanx! OK, Let's go.." Kahkar Inspector ne ek auto wale ko hath diya..

"University Library!" Inspector ne kaha aur uske baithne ka ishara karne par humein andar baithne ko kaha... Kuchh der baad hum wahan pahunch gaye jahan 'wo' humein le jana chahta tha....

Ek badi si buliding ke saamne park mein bahut sare jode baithe baatein kar rahe the.. ladki akele ladkon ke sath thi aur ladke akeli ladkiyon ke sath.. sab masti mein baithe khilkhila rahe the.. unko yun masti se ek dusre ke hathon mein hath daale dekh kar mera mann vichlit ho gaya... main Meenu ke sath chalte chalte soch rahi thi ki main kab college mein aaungi... Gaanv mein toh khullam khulla aise soch bhi nahi sakte...

"Humm.. yahan theek hai.. aao..!" Inspector ne kaha aur park mein baki ladke ladkiyon se alag ek jagah baith gaya...

"Ab bolo.. kya baat hai?" Inspector ne hamare baithte hi Meenu se poochha.. hum dono uss'se thodi door hatkar baithe the...

"Wo... aap kisi ko nahi batayenge na?" Sahmi huyi si Meenu ne uski najron mein jhankte huye kaha...

"Jo bhi mann mein hai.. bejhijhak bol do.. main aisa koyi kaam nahi karoonga jiss'se kisi bekasoor par hulki si bhi aanch aaye..." Inspector ne bharosa dilane ki koshish ki...

"Wo.. ho sakta hai ki Tarun ko 'ek' Sir ne.... " bolkar Meenu chup ho gayi....

"Kya? kounse Sir? jo kuchh bhi tum jaanti ho.. khul kar batao pls..." Inspector utsuk hokar bola...

"Tu bata de na Anju... tujhe poori baat ka pata hai.." Meenu ne meri aur dekha...

"Mmain.. kkkounsi baat? " Main hadbada kar boli...

"Wahi... School wali.. jo tumhare sath huyi thi... aur jo madam ne tumhe bataya tha...!" Meenu ne meri aur dekha aur najrein jhuka li.. uske chehre se hi lag raha tha ki wo vichlit si ho gayi hai.....

"Nayi.. tum hi bata do.... main nahi.." Maine bhi apne aapko door hi rakhna chaha... jub kuchh milna hi nahi tha toh main kyun apni juban ko ganda karti....

"Ye kya majak bana rahe ho tum log.. batate kyun nahi..." Inspector beshabra sa hokar bola...

"OK OK.. batati hoon..," Meenu ne kaha aur fir meri aur dekh kar bechara sa chehra banakar boli," Pls Anju.. tum bata do na..."

Maine Meenu ki aur dekh kar apna gala sa saaf kiya aur fir Inspector ki aur dekhne lagi.....

"Ab bolo bhi... koyi toh bolo...!"

"WWwo.. School mein jis din hamara pahla paper tha..." Maine itna hi kaha tha ki Meenu wahan se uth gayi," Mmain.. 2 minute mein aati hoon bus..." usne kaha aur wahan se furrr ho gayi...

"Haan.. haan.. tum bolo... main sun raha hoon...!" Inspector ne jhallate huye kaha...

"Wo.. ek sir ki duty hain wahan...............!" Yahan se shuru karke maine Inspector ko agle din madam ke dwara kahi gayi baat jyon ki tyon suna di... Shayad hi poori baat khatam hone se pahle tak Inspector ne palkein bhi jhapkaayin hon... par mere rukte hi wo bola...," Oh Shit! aur main kahan kahan dimag ghuma raha tha....." Wah kuchh der ruka aur fir mujhe daant'ta hua sa bola," Tum'me itni bhi akal nahi thi kya ki tum 'uss' master ke mann ki baat bhi nahi samajh payi... aur pata lagne ke baad bhi... khair chhodo.. bula lo usko!" Inspector ne mujhse kaha.....

"Kahan hai wo?" Maine najrein ghuma kar dekha.. humse door jakar wah akeli chehra doosri aur kiye baithi thi....," Aa jayegi.. kuchh kar rahi hogi..?" Maine bechari si soorat banakar inspector ko kaha....

"Kuchh nahi kar rahi wo.. mujhe pata hai ki 'wo' kyun gayi thi....? jao.. jaldi bulakar le aao!" Inspector ne kaha aur khada ho gaya....

"Didi.. chalo.. 'wo' bula raha hai..."Maine Meenu ke paas jakar uske kandhe par hath rakha toh wo uchhal si padi...," Kkya..? kkya bole 'wo'"

"Kuchh nahi.. sirf mujhe daanta tha..." Maine kaha toh wo khadi hokar najrein si churati huyi mere sath uske paas chali gayi.....

"Hummm... Thanx! sach mein hi bahut kaam ki khabar thi... kal subah school mein hi milna padega uss'se?" Inspector ne chalte chalte kaha....

"Par... par.. wo toh do din se School mein aa hi nahi rahe...." Maine bola....

"Koyi baat nahi.. Madam se uska kuchh pata thikana toh mil hi jayega..."

"Par.. par aap mera naam toh nahi loge na...!" Maine saham kar poochha....

"Nahi... ab tum niklo... mujhe der ho rahi hai...!" Inspector ne kaha aur Meenu ki aur dekha.. wo najrein jhukaye khadi thi....

"Theek hai.. mera no. yaad hai na...?" Inspector ne poochha toh Meenu ne haan mein sir hila diya...

"Good... kuchh bhi khabar lage toh mujhe fone jaroor kar dena... ya isko bata dena," Usne meri aur ishara kiya..," Tumse badi toh ye lagti hai.. baat karne mein.." Kahne ke baad usne apne purse se card nikal kar mujhko bhi pakda diya... Main uski aur muskura di...

Inspector ne Auto rukwayi aur hamari aur muskura kar chala gaya....

"Ab kaha chalein?" Maine Meenu se poochha.....

"Tune usko sab kuchh bata diya kya?" Meenu ne meri baat par dhyan na dekar ulta sawaal kiya....

"Haan... aapne hi toh bola tha...!" Maine usko jawaab diya....

"Tujhe... tujhe kya bilkul bhi sharam nahi aayi....!" Meenu meri aur achraj se dekhti huyi boli.....

"Aa rahi thi didi.. par main kya karti....?" Main kuchh aur bhi bolne wali thi ki meri chhatiyon mein huyi kampan ne mera dhyan vichlit kar diya...

"Chal... ab seedhe ghar hi chalte hain... aaj mood nahi hai mera.. class attend karne ka... arey haan.. tujhe shopping bhi toh karwani hai... aa...." Meenu ne kaha aur sadak par khadi hokar Auto ka wait karne lagi........

------------------------------------------------------

Ghar pahunchte pahunchte jane kitni hi baar fone aa chuke the.... Main pareshan si ho gayi thi... Main apne ghar hi rah gayi... Tala kholkar upar jate hi maine apni bra mein hath dekar fone nikala... aur missed call ki detail check karne lagi.... 10 ki 10 call Dholu ke naam se thi... Maine bister ke neeche mobile chhipaya aur bathroom mein ghus gayi....

Shahar jakar aane ki wajah se main thak si gayi thi fir bhi jane kyun mera dil rah rah kar machal raha tha.. Mann hi mann maine sham tak ji bhar kar sone ke baad Meenu ke ghar jate huye Manisha ke paas jane ka mann bana liya tha.. Bathroom se wapas aate hi maine fone ko kisi achchhi jagah chhipane ke liye bister ke neeche se nikala hi tha ki ek baar fir call aa gayi.. maine screen par dekha; call Dholu ki hi thi... Maine darwaje ke paas khade hokar bahar jhanka aur call receive kar li...

Main kafi der dusri aur se aawaj ka intjaar karne ke baad dheere se boli,"Hellooo!"

"Kya hello yaar? Tu toh chutiya bana gayi..." Dholu ki khurdari aur narajgi bhari aawaj mere kaano mein utar gayi...

"Kkkya hua?" Main darr si gayi thi...

"Ghanta hoga yahan? tune sara din fone nahi uthaya.. main poora din ghar par akela tha.. Socha tha aaj tumhari bhi chhuti hai... fone kyun nahi uthaya tune?" Usne besabri se poochha....

"Wwo.. par main aaj shahar gayi thi.. Meenu ke sath...!" Maine mayoos hokar kaha...

"Shahar mein hai tu?" Usne poochha....

"Nayi.. ab toh ghar par hi hoon... abhi aayi hoon bus..." Maine jawab diya...

"Ghar mein? Tune sabke saamne hi fone utha rakha hai kya?" Wo thoda sa vichlit hokar bola....

"Nahiii.. main pagal hoon kya? Mummy papa khet gaye honge.. chhotu ka pata nahi...." Maine jawab diya....

"Darwaja khol ke rakhna.. main bus 2 minute mein aa raha hoon..." Usne hadbadi si mein kaha.. iss'se pahle main kuchh bolti.. wo fone kaat chuka tha... Main darr gayi.. 'ghar par toh theek hai hi nahi.. iss'se achchha toh main usko raat choupal mein hi bula loongi...' maine mann hi mann socha aur usko fone lagaya.... par usne kaat diya...

Main uske ghar aane ki baat sunkar darr gayi.. Sare gaanv ko pata tha ki wo kaisa ladka hai.. fir uska hamare ghar aana jana bhi nahi tha.. 'kisi ne dekh kar papa ko bol diya toh meri toh aisi taisi ho jayegi...' Ye soch kar maine uske aane se pahle hi ghar se nikal bhagna theek samjha......

Maine khana khane ka iraada chhoda aur Meenu ke ghar jane ke liye seedhiyan utarne lagi.. Par main jaise hi neeche utari.. dekha 'wo' darwaje ke saamne hi khada hai... Kisi bahar wale ko usko meri taraf dekh kar daant nikalte na dikh jaaun.. isiliye main bhag kar deewar ki aad mein khadi ho gayi...

"Upar chal na!" usne andar aate hi kaha...

"Mmujhe abhi Meenu ke paas jana hai.. jaroori kaam hai.. main tumhe raat ko kahin bula loongi.. fone karke..." Maine sahmi huyi nigaahon se uski aur dekha...

 

[Vinish02]

Tabhi inspector aaya aur hamein andar bulakar le gaya.....



"Haaaaaaan.. toh baat wahin se shuru karte hain, jahan khatam huyi thi.." Kahkar inspector ne ek lambi saans li... wah kamre mein jakar wahan rakhi huyi do kursiyon mein se ek par baith gaya.. humein usne apne saamne bister par baithne ko kah diya tha.. main Meenu ki barabar mein baithi Manav ke chehre ki aur dekh rahi thi....

"Tum dono ne kaha tha ki Tarun uss raat 11 baje tumhare ghar se gaya hai.. kaha tha na?" Inspector ne Meenu se sawaal kiya....

Meenu kuchh der chupchap baithi rahi.. fir chehra neeche kiye huye hi apna sir hila diya," jji..."

"Aur ye jhooth hai.. hai na?" Inspector ne tippani ki....

Hum dono sir jhukaye baithe rahe... kisi ki bhi bolne ki himmat na huyi....

"Uss din tumhare gaanv ki kisi ladki ne bataya tha ki choupal mein usne 9:00 baje ke aaspaas jhagde ki aawaj suni thi... par main iss baat ko lekar aaswast nahi tha ki unmein se ek Tarun jaroor hoga... isiliye main ye sochkar chup raha ki ho sakta hai ki tum sach bol rahi ho aur wahan jhagda karne wale Tarun ke alawa koyi aur hon... par ab sab kuchh sheeshe ki tarah saaf hai... Tarun ki postmortum report ye kahti hai ki uska katl 9:15 aur 9:30 ke beech kiya gaya hai....

Iska matlab tumne jhooth bola... aur ye baat chhipane ka ek hi karan ho sakta hai... Tum katil ko bachana chahti ho.. aur tumhe sab kuchh pata hai... tumhare hi kahne par khoon kiya gaya hai...!" Inspector ne hum dono ko ghoorte huye kaha...

Meenu uski baat sunkar aankhon mein aansu le aayi aur uski aur dekh kar boli," Ye.. sach nahi hai Sir... Mujhe kuchh nahi pata.. bhagwan ki kasam!"

"Toh jhooth bolne ki wajah?" Inspector par uske aansuon ka hulka sa prabhav padta dikhayi diya....

"Wwo.. hum darey huye the.... Anju ne kaha tha.. isiliye maine bhi wahi kah diya...!" Meenu ne subakte huye kaha....

"Aur.... wo letters?" Inspector ne poochha....

Meenu ne iss baat ka koyi jawab nahi diya... wo sir jhukaye baithi rahi.....

"Iss baat ko maamuli baat mat samjho Meenu! Tarun ka khoon hua hai.. ye aansoo tapka kar tum na toh giragtaari se bach sakti ho.. aur na hi begunah shabit ho sakti ho... samajh rahi ho na meri baat... Tarun ke pate mein ek do baar nahi.. poore 13 baar chaku se vaar kiya gaya hai... saaf hai ki kisi ne gahri nafrat ke chalte aisa kiya hai... kyunki aam tour par junooni katil hi aisa karte hain...

Gaanv bhar mein maine pata kiya.. Tarun unki nazar mein ek shareef ladka tha... Fir aisa junooni toh koyi aashik hi ho sakta hai... aur kyunki Tarun ka tumhare sath kuchh lafda tha.. isiliye tumne apne kisi dusre aashiq se kah kar usko jaan se marwa diya... ab tak ki kahani toh yahi kahti hai.... tumhara kya kahna hai...?" Inspector bolne ke baad chup hokar Meenu ki aur dekhne laga....

Meenu bilakh uthi..," mera... vishvas kijiye sir.. mera koyi aash... main toh kisi se baat bhi nahi karti thi.. Tarun se bhi meri sirf dosti thi.. aur kuchh nahi.. bhagwan ki kasam..."

"Par.. unn letters ki bhasha toh kuchh aur hi kahti hai.. tumne usmein toh ye bhi likha hai ki tum Tarun ke sath sharirik sambandh banane ko tadap rahi ho.. aur ek dusre letter mein saaf saaf ye kahkar maafi maangi hai ki kisi ladke ke sath tumne najayaj sambandh banaye hain... aaj ke baad kisi dusre ladke ke sath sharirik sambandh nahi banaogi... wagairah wagairah.. aur wo bhi bahut behude shabdon mein.. bhagwan ki kasam khakar...." Inspector ne bola....

Uski baat sunkar Meenu ka rona aur tej ho gaya...," Wo sab.. pahle khud usne likhe the sir.. aur mujhse dusre kagaj par copy karwaye the.. maine apne paas se kuchh nahi likha.. main majboor thi..."

"Achchha! aisi kya majboori thi bhala....?" Inspector ne vyangya sa kiya....

"Aap samajh kyun nahi rahe... wo mujhse naraj hokar baatein karni chhod deta tha... dusri ladkiyon ke sath ghoomne lag jata tha...." Meenu subakte huye boli...

"Toh tumhe kya dikkat thi...? wo toh sirf tumhara dost hi tha... hai na!" Inspector bola....

Meenu iss baat par kuchh nahi bol payi .. kuchh der baad inspector ne hi bolna shuru kiya...,"Tum jitni chalak ban'ne ki koshish karogi.. utni hi tumhe dikkat hogi.. tumne jo kar diya hai, usko aansu dikha kar tum bach nahi sakti.. chupchap seedhe raaste par aa jao.. warna mujhe bhi tedhe raaste akhtiyaar karne padenge..." Inspector ne dhamki si di....

Meenu toot si gayi.. lag raha tha jaise usmein jaan hi nahi bachi hai..," Haan.. main uss'se pyar karti thi.. aur ye bhi samajhti thi ki wo bhi mujhse utna hi pyar karta hai.. par maine usko kabhi khud ko hath nahi lagane diya.. iss baat se wo roz roz mujhse naraj ho jata tha... par main uss'se baat kiye bina rah nahi pati thi.. aur usko manane ki koshish karti thi... par wo hamesha yahi shart rakhta tha.. uske sath relation banane ki.. par ye mujhe kisi keemat par manjoor nahi tha.. maine usko aur kuchh bhi karwane ko bola aur usne ye letters likhwa liye... maine tab bhi mana kiya tha.. par wo kahne laga ki iska matlab tumhe mujh par vishvas hi nahi hai... bus isi baat par maine usne jo kuchh bhi likh kar mujhe diya... maine dusre kagaj par utaar kar usko de diya..."

"chalo.. thodi der ke liye tumhari ye baat hi maan leta hoon... uske baad kya hua? usne tumhari blackmailing shuru kar di.. hai na?" Inspector bola....

"Haan.... usne 3-4 din se aisa karna shuru kiya tha... par main kisi tarah usko taalti rahi... uss din pahli baar maine letters ke badle uski baat maan lene ko kaha tha... isiliye wo 'letters' lene apne ghar chala gaya.. main soch rahi thi ki agar usne letters pahle hi wapas kar diye toh uski baat nahi maanoongi... mujhe uss'se nafrat ho gayi thi... par 'wo' lout kar aaya hi nahi... 11 baje ki baat Anju ne isiliye aapko kahi thi ki kahin mere papa iss'se ye na poochhein ki wo padhaye bina kyun chala gaya wapas..." kahkar Meenu chup ho gayi.....

"Tumhe pata hoga ki wo 'letters' ab mere paas hain... tum unhe wapas bhi lena chahti hogi.. hai na?" Inspector ka lahja achanak badal gaya...

Meenu ne uski baat ka koyi jawaab nahi diya....

"Ladka imaandaar tha.. apne waade ka pakka.. tumhari tarah nahi ki souda karo aur baad mein mukar jao.. wo sach mein letters lekar aaya tha.. uski jeb se mujhe ye letters mile.... wo baat alag hai ki usne inn letters ki copy kara rakhi ho.... jaise maine bhi nahi karayi hai abhi tak.. ha ha ha... kya samjhi....?" Inspector ne kahne ke baad Meenu ko dekh kar apne honton par jeebh feri...

"Sir.. mujhe sach mein kuchh nahi pata.. ab maine aapko sab kuchh sach sah bata diya hai....!" Meenu ne nirasha bhari najron se inspector ko dekh kar kaha....

"Theek hai.. maine maan li.. ab inn letters ka bhi main kya karoonga...? tumhe wapas chahiye na?" Inspector kahkar muskuraya...

"Jji.. sir.. aap inhe jala do.. pls.. mere ghar waalon ko inka pata chal gaya toh wo jeete ji mar jayenge..." Meenu ne prarthna ki....

"Aise hi... bina kuchh liye diye...! kuchh toh raham karo mujh par.... maine bhi badi mehnat ki hai.. yahan 2-4 hazar rupaiye bhi kharch karoonga... mera bhi toh kuchh banta hai na..." Inspector ne kaha....

"Jji.. kya matlab?" Meenu ne poochha....

"Oh.. ab itni bhi bholi mat bano.. Anju ko bahar bhej do aur......" Inspector ne apna sir khujaya...," aur kapde nikal do!"



Meenu sunte hi bhay se kaanpne si lagi.. ye darr uske 2 din pahle se hi sata raha tha.. Maine Meenu ki aankhon mein dekha aur isharon hi isharon mein uss'se poochha ki kya karoon... usne apne kaanpte huye hath se mujhe kaskar pakad liya,"yye kya kah rahe ho... aap?"

"Ab dobara bolna padega kya? Ja ladki.. bahar ghoom le thodi der.." Inspector ne gurra kar kaha toh meri wahan baithe rahne ki himmat nahi rahi.... maine bed se neeche utar kar Meenu se apni baanh chhudane lagi...

"Nahi Anju!" Meenu ne dusre hath se bhi mujhe pakad liya aur roni soorat bana kar boli," Tttum.. kahin mat jao pls..."

"Suna nahi kya tumne?" Inspector dobara chillaya....

"Yye.. jane nahi de rahi Sir.. isssko darr lag raha hai.." Maine bhola sa munh banakar inspector ki aur dekha....

"Theek hai fir.. tum yahan baithkar tamasha dekhna.. apna kaam toh mujhe har haal mein karna hai.. warna iske teeno letters case ke sath laga kar suspected ki list mein daal doonga... kaat'ti rahegi court ke chakkar...." Inspector ek baar khada hua fir wapas baith gaya.....

"Nahi sir.. nahi.. pls.. mujhe maaf kar do!" Meenu ne mujhe chhodkar inspector ki taraf dono hath jod liye aur gidgidane lagi....

"Maaf kar do? tumne mera kya bigada hai..? ye toh aapas ki soudebazi hai.. ya toh meri baat maan lo.. warna mujhe apni duty karne do.. jao agar jana chahti ho!" Inspector muskurata hua pair ke upar pair chadha kar baith gaya......

"Main barbaad ho jaaungi Sir... kuchh nahi bachega mere paas.... plssssss.. mujhe letter de do aur hamein jane do..." Meenu lagataar aansu baha rahi thi.. meri samajh mein nahi aa raha tha ki 'wo' aakhir itne achchhe mouke ko hath se kyun jane de rahi hai.... Maine meenu ke aansu pounchhte huye inspector se kaha," Sir.. aap isko na rulayiye.. aapko jo karna hai.. mere sath kar lijiye.. par pls.. meri didi ko chhod dijiye.... isko letter de dijiye...."

Maine jis andaaj mein apni kasak ka ijhaar kiya tha shayad ek baar toh Dilip kumar ji bhi hote toh meri peeth thapthapate... lahja bhawuk hone ke karan meri aankhon mein sachmuch hi aansu aa gaye the... par badle mein mujhe tab bhi inspector ki daant hi khane ko mili," yahan rahna hai toh chup chap apna munh band karke baithi rah.. warna bhaga doonga yahan se.. samajh gayi?"

Mujhe na ugalte bana na nigalte.. main mayoos hokar wapas bister par baith gayi...

"Idhar aa mere paas!" Inspector ne hamari taraf ungali se ishara kiya...

"Koun main?" Maine apni khushi ko chhupate huye kaha....

"Kaha na tu chup baith ja! ab tune ek shabd bhi bola toh kaan ke neeche lagaaunga ek..." Inspector ne mujhe fir dhamka diya.. meri toh ummeed hi khatam ho gayi...

Usne ek baar fir ungali se hi Meenu ki aur ishara karte huye kaha," Sunayi nahi de raha kya? khadi hokar idhar aa...!"

Meenu iss baar wahan baithe rahne layak himmat nahi juta payi... mare huye kadmon se mera hath pakde huye khadi huyi aur fir rengti huyi si uske paas jakar khadi ho gayi....

Inspector ne Meenu ka hath pakad kar apni aur kheench liya," Samasya kya hai tumhari? mere sath ek baar humbister hokar tumhe tumhare letters mil jayenge aur hamesha ke liye iss jhanjhat se chhutkara bhi.. fir bhi main tumhare upar chhod raha hoon... agar jana chahti ho toh jao.. aise ro kyun rahi ho?"

Meenu kuchh der chupchap khadi subakti rahi.. fir apna hath chhudane ki koshish karti huyi boli," Hamein jane do Sir.. main aisa nahi kar sakti... hamein yahan se jane do...!"

Inspector ne uska hath nahi chhoda.. kuchh der uski aur muskurata raha fir apni pichhli jeb mein hath daalkar kuchh kagaj nikale aur Meenu ki hatheli mein thama diye..," Ye lo tumhare letters! aur khushi khushi jao... mujhe tumhare andar ka sach jaan'ne ke liye itni asabhya bhasha ka istemaal karna pada.. iske liye sorry..! par wo jaroori tha.. jab tak main tumhari taraf se nischint nahi ho jata.. mera dimag baar baar aakar tum par hi atakta rahta... mere dil mein ab tak yahi baat thi ki tum itni shareef nahi ho jitni shakal se dikhti ho.... par main galat tha.. tum waisi hi ho jaisi dikhti ho.... aisi hi rahna!" Inspector ne uska hath chhod diya...

Main hairan thi.. par Meenu ko jaane kya hua.. wo achanak fafak fafak kar rone lagi...

"Arrey ab kya hua? Sorry bola na maine.. sach mein main itna bura nahi hoon, jitna tumne samajh liya tha... ladki ki ijjat kya hoti hai.. main achchhi tarah samajhta hoon.. par tahkikaat karne ka mera tareeka thoda juda hai.. uske liye maaf karna.. agar mujhe bina soche samjhe kuchh karna hota toh main tumhe yahan nahi bulata.. tumhare ghar waalon ke saamne hi gaanv walon ko ikattha karke tumse sawaal karta.... aur fir tumhe custody mein lena bhi police ke liye mushkil nahi tha... wahan ye sab karna aasan hota na? Par mujhe ye sab tumhari ijjat ko barkaraar rakhne ke liye hi karna pada... " Inspector ke chehre par ye sab bolte huye ek alag hi noor chamak raha tha," Abhi bahar tak mere sath hi chalna.. ab tumhe aur tang nahi karoonga... haan.. kisi tarah ki koyi jaankari tumhare paas ho toh bejhijhak mujhe bata dena... ek minute.. ye Tarun ke fone ki call detail hai.. ek baar iss par najar maar lo.. kuchh dimag mein aaye toh batana...." Kahkar usne list Meenu ke hathon mein de di....

Meenu mook si bani inspector ki aankhon mein hi dekhti rahi.. list ko apne hath mein pakde....

"Kya hua ab?" Inspector ne uski naak pakad kar kheench li.. aur hansne laga...

"Thanx... sir!" Meenu ne itna hi kaha aur apni najrein jhuka li...

"Manav! Manav bologi toh jyada achchha lagega mujhe..." Inspector ne kaha aur fir se muskura diya...

Meenu ne koyi jawaab nahi diya... wo khadi khadi list ko dekhne lagi.. fir Manav ki taraf sarak kar usko list dikhate huye boli..," Shayad ye Sonu ka no. hai... iske alawa main kisi no. ko nahi jaanti...."

"Sonu koun?" Inspector ne poochha....

Meenu ne munh pichka kar kaha..,"Uska dost hai.. par mujhe pahle nahi pata tha ki wo dono itne gahre dost hain...."

"Humm... Inspector ne apna mobile nikala..," abhi kahan hoga ye...?"

"Pata nahi Sir.. Gaanv mein hoga ya fir college aaya hoga..." Meenu ne jawab diya...

"Ok.. try karke dekhte hain..." Usne kaha aur no. mila diya....

Achanak meri chhatiyon mein current sa doud gaya... tabhi mujhe dhyan aaya.. Dholu ka fone 'wahin' hai... Maine usko wahin chhati mein daba liya....

"nahi.. utha nahi raha..." Inspector ne kaha aur fone ko dekhne laga... ek baar fir meri chhatiyon mein kampan shuru ho gayi... main kuchh soch kar darr gayi.. par maine apne aawegon ko uss waqt kaabu mein rakhna hi theek samjha....

"aao chalein...!" kahkar Inspector ne darwaja khola aur bahar nikal gaya....

Meenu ne meri aur dekha aur mushkurakar khushi ke aansu ludhka diye.. mera hath pakda aur hum bhi inspector ke pichhe pichhe ho liye....

Hotel se bahar nikalne ke baad Manav ne muskurakar hamari aur dekha aur kaha," Jao!"

Inspector palta hi tha ki Meenu ne usko aawaj laga di,"Hello.. Sir!"

"Haan.. bolo?" Inspector palta aur wapas aakar bola....

"Wo.. hamein aapko kuchh batana tha... aap kaho toh baad mein fone par...." Meenu ne hadbada kar kaha...

"Agar tumhe jaldi nahi hai toh abhi bata do... Tarun se related hai kya?" Inspector ne poochha....

"Ji... abhi bata dete hain.... par.. yahan... sir, aap kahin aur nahi chal sakte hain kya?" Meenu boli...

"Kyun nahi? par mujhe sir kahna band karo.. mujhe bura lag raha hai.. hamara college ek hi tha na...!" Inspector ne muskurakar kaha aur meenu ki taraf hath badha diya...

Meenu ne sharmakar muskurate huye meri aur dekha aur fir uski aankhon se thoda sa neeche dekhte huye uska hath pakad liya,"OK, Manav ji.. he he he..."



"Thanx! OK, Let's go.." Kahkar Inspector ne ek auto wale ko hath diya..

"University Library!" Inspector ne kaha aur uske baithne ka ishara karne par humein andar baithne ko kaha... Kuchh der baad hum wahan pahunch gaye jahan 'wo' humein le jana chahta tha....

Ek badi si buliding ke saamne park mein bahut sare jode baithe baatein kar rahe the.. ladki akele ladkon ke sath thi aur ladke akeli ladkiyon ke sath.. sab masti mein baithe khilkhila rahe the.. unko yun masti se ek dusre ke hathon mein hath daale dekh kar mera mann vichlit ho gaya... main Meenu ke sath chalte chalte soch rahi thi ki main kab college mein aaungi... Gaanv mein toh khullam khulla aise soch bhi nahi sakte...

"Humm.. yahan theek hai.. aao..!" Inspector ne kaha aur park mein baki ladke ladkiyon se alag ek jagah baith gaya...

"Ab bolo.. kya baat hai?" Inspector ne hamare baithte hi Meenu se poochha.. hum dono uss'se thodi door hatkar baithe the...

"Wo... aap kisi ko nahi batayenge na?" Sahmi huyi si Meenu ne uski najron mein jhankte huye kaha...

"Jo bhi mann mein hai.. bejhijhak bol do.. main aisa koyi kaam nahi karoonga jiss'se kisi bekasoor par hulki si bhi aanch aaye..." Inspector ne bharosa dilane ki koshish ki...

"Wo.. ho sakta hai ki Tarun ko 'ek' Sir ne.... " bolkar Meenu chup ho gayi....

"Kya? kounse Sir? jo kuchh bhi tum jaanti ho.. khul kar batao pls..." Inspector utsuk hokar bola...

"Tu bata de na Anju... tujhe poori baat ka pata hai.." Meenu ne meri aur dekha...

"Mmain.. kkkounsi baat? " Main hadbada kar boli...

"Wahi... School wali.. jo tumhare sath huyi thi... aur jo madam ne tumhe bataya tha...!" Meenu ne meri aur dekha aur najrein jhuka li.. uske chehre se hi lag raha tha ki wo vichlit si ho gayi hai.....

"Nayi.. tum hi bata do.... main nahi.." Maine bhi apne aapko door hi rakhna chaha... jub kuchh milna hi nahi tha toh main kyun apni juban ko ganda karti....

"Ye kya majak bana rahe ho tum log.. batate kyun nahi..." Inspector beshabra sa hokar bola...

"OK OK.. batati hoon..," Meenu ne kaha aur fir meri aur dekh kar bechara sa chehra banakar boli," Pls Anju.. tum bata do na..."

Maine Meenu ki aur dekh kar apna gala sa saaf kiya aur fir Inspector ki aur dekhne lagi.....

"Ab bolo bhi... koyi toh bolo...!"

"WWwo.. School mein jis din hamara pahla paper tha..." Maine itna hi kaha tha ki Meenu wahan se uth gayi," Mmain.. 2 minute mein aati hoon bus..." usne kaha aur wahan se furrr ho gayi...

"Haan.. haan.. tum bolo... main sun raha hoon...!" Inspector ne jhallate huye kaha...

"Wo.. ek sir ki duty hain wahan...............!" Yahan se shuru karke maine Inspector ko agle din madam ke dwara kahi gayi baat jyon ki tyon suna di... Shayad hi poori baat khatam hone se pahle tak Inspector ne palkein bhi jhapkaayin hon... par mere rukte hi wo bola...," Oh Shit! aur main kahan kahan dimag ghuma raha tha....." Wah kuchh der ruka aur fir mujhe daant'ta hua sa bola," Tum'me itni bhi akal nahi thi kya ki tum 'uss' master ke mann ki baat bhi nahi samajh payi... aur pata lagne ke baad bhi... khair chhodo.. bula lo usko!" Inspector ne mujhse kaha.....

"Kahan hai wo?" Maine najrein ghuma kar dekha.. humse door jakar wah akeli chehra doosri aur kiye baithi thi....," Aa jayegi.. kuchh kar rahi hogi..?" Maine bechari si soorat banakar inspector ko kaha....

"Kuchh nahi kar rahi wo.. mujhe pata hai ki 'wo' kyun gayi thi....? jao.. jaldi bulakar le aao!" Inspector ne kaha aur khada ho gaya....

"Didi.. chalo.. 'wo' bula raha hai..."Maine Meenu ke paas jakar uske kandhe par hath rakha toh wo uchhal si padi...," Kkya..? kkya bole 'wo'"

"Kuchh nahi.. sirf mujhe daanta tha..." Maine kaha toh wo khadi hokar najrein si churati huyi mere sath uske paas chali gayi.....

"Hummm... Thanx! sach mein hi bahut kaam ki khabar thi... kal subah school mein hi milna padega uss'se?" Inspector ne chalte chalte kaha....

"Par... par.. wo toh do din se School mein aa hi nahi rahe...." Maine bola....

"Koyi baat nahi.. Madam se uska kuchh pata thikana toh mil hi jayega..."

"Par.. par aap mera naam toh nahi loge na...!" Maine saham kar poochha....

"Nahi... ab tum niklo... mujhe der ho rahi hai...!" Inspector ne kaha aur Meenu ki aur dekha.. wo najrein jhukaye khadi thi....

"Theek hai.. mera no. yaad hai na...?" Inspector ne poochha toh Meenu ne haan mein sir hila diya...

"Good... kuchh bhi khabar lage toh mujhe fone jaroor kar dena... ya isko bata dena," Usne meri aur ishara kiya..," Tumse badi toh ye lagti hai.. baat karne mein.." Kahne ke baad usne apne purse se card nikal kar mujhko bhi pakda diya... Main uski aur muskura di...

Inspector ne Auto rukwayi aur hamari aur muskura kar chala gaya....

"Ab kaha chalein?" Maine Meenu se poochha.....

"Tune usko sab kuchh bata diya kya?" Meenu ne meri baat par dhyan na dekar ulta sawaal kiya....

"Haan... aapne hi toh bola tha...!" Maine usko jawaab diya....

"Tujhe... tujhe kya bilkul bhi sharam nahi aayi....!" Meenu meri aur achraj se dekhti huyi boli.....

"Aa rahi thi didi.. par main kya karti....?" Main kuchh aur bhi bolne wali thi ki meri chhatiyon mein huyi kampan ne mera dhyan vichlit kar diya...

"Chal... ab seedhe ghar hi chalte hain... aaj mood nahi hai mera.. class attend karne ka... arey haan.. tujhe shopping bhi toh karwani hai... aa...." Meenu ne kaha aur sadak par khadi hokar Auto ka wait karne lagi........

------------------------------------------------------

Ghar pahunchte pahunchte jane kitni hi baar fone aa chuke the.... Main pareshan si ho gayi thi... Main apne ghar hi rah gayi... Tala kholkar upar jate hi maine apni bra mein hath dekar fone nikala... aur missed call ki detail check karne lagi.... 10 ki 10 call Dholu ke naam se thi... Maine bister ke neeche mobile chhipaya aur bathroom mein ghus gayi....

Shahar jakar aane ki wajah se main thak si gayi thi fir bhi jane kyun mera dil rah rah kar machal raha tha.. Mann hi mann maine sham tak ji bhar kar sone ke baad Meenu ke ghar jate huye Manisha ke paas jane ka mann bana liya tha.. Bathroom se wapas aate hi maine fone ko kisi achchhi jagah chhipane ke liye bister ke neeche se nikala hi tha ki ek baar fir call aa gayi.. maine screen par dekha; call Dholu ki hi thi... Maine darwaje ke paas khade hokar bahar jhanka aur call receive kar li...

Main kafi der dusri aur se aawaj ka intjaar karne ke baad dheere se boli,"Hellooo!"

"Kya hello yaar? Tu toh chutiya bana gayi..." Dholu ki khurdari aur narajgi bhari aawaj mere kaano mein utar gayi...

"Kkkya hua?" Main darr si gayi thi...

"Ghanta hoga yahan? tune sara din fone nahi uthaya.. main poora din ghar par akela tha.. Socha tha aaj tumhari bhi chhuti hai... fone kyun nahi uthaya tune?" Usne besabri se poochha....

"Wwo.. par main aaj shahar gayi thi.. Meenu ke sath...!" Maine mayoos hokar kaha...

"Shahar mein hai tu?" Usne poochha....

"Nayi.. ab toh ghar par hi hoon... abhi aayi hoon bus..." Maine jawab diya...

"Ghar mein? Tune sabke saamne hi fone utha rakha hai kya?" Wo thoda sa vichlit hokar bola....

"Nahiii.. main pagal hoon kya? Mummy papa khet gaye honge.. chhotu ka pata nahi...." Maine jawab diya....

"Darwaja khol ke rakhna.. main bus 2 minute mein aa raha hoon..." Usne hadbadi si mein kaha.. iss'se pahle main kuchh bolti.. wo fone kaat chuka tha... Main darr gayi.. 'ghar par toh theek hai hi nahi.. iss'se achchha toh main usko raat choupal mein hi bula loongi...' maine mann hi mann socha aur usko fone lagaya.... par usne kaat diya...

Main uske ghar aane ki baat sunkar darr gayi.. Sare gaanv ko pata tha ki wo kaisa ladka hai.. fir uska hamare ghar aana jana bhi nahi tha.. 'kisi ne dekh kar papa ko bol diya toh meri toh aisi taisi ho jayegi...' Ye soch kar maine uske aane se pahle hi ghar se nikal bhagna theek samjha......

Maine khana khane ka iraada chhoda aur Meenu ke ghar jane ke liye seedhiyan utarne lagi.. Par main jaise hi neeche utari.. dekha 'wo' darwaje ke saamne hi khada hai... Kisi bahar wale ko usko meri taraf dekh kar daant nikalte na dikh jaaun.. isiliye main bhag kar deewar ki aad mein khadi ho gayi...

"Upar chal na!" usne andar aate hi kaha...

"Mmujhe abhi Meenu ke paas jana hai.. jaroori kaam hai.. main tumhe raat ko kahin bula loongi.. fone karke..." Maine sahmi huyi nigaahon se uski aur dekha...
