Update 25
Ravi jab haveli pahuncha to nikki bhi uske pichhe pichhe haveli mein daakhil hui.
Hall mein thakur sahab ke sath deewan ji baithe hue the. Wey aapas mein kuchh baatein kar rahe the jab ravi ne unhe hath jodkar namaste kiya.
Ravi aur nikki ko ek sath bahar se aate dekh thakur sahab ki ankhein khushi se muskura uthi. - "aao ravi, hum tumhara hi intezaar kar rahe the. Tumse kuchh aavashyak baatein karni hai." thakur sahab ravi se sambodhit hue.
Ravi ki aankhein aashcharya se sikud gayi. Paas hi khadi nikki ki aur nazar ghumi to uske honthon par ek rahasyamayii muskaan thirakte paaya. Usne phir se apni nazron ka rukh thakur sahab ke chehre par kiya. unke chehre par gehre santosh ke bhav they. raipur aane ke baad aaj pehli baar usne thakur sahab ko itna prasann dekha tha. lekin unke santosh ka kaaran uske samajh se pare tha.
"Nikki beta….tum Apne kamre jaakar aaram karo. Hamein Ravi se kuchh baat karni hai." Thakur sahab Nikki se bole.
"Ji...papa." Nikki jawab mein boli aur seedhiyon ki taraf badh gayi.
"Baitho Ravi." Thakur sahab Ravi se bole.
"Dhanyavaad." Ravi thakur sahab ko uttar dekar dheeme kadmo se chalte hue sofe par jaakar baith gaya. phir sawaliya nazron se thakur sahab ki aur dekha - "kahiye mujhse kis samabndh mein baat karna chahte the aap?" Ravi ne puchha.. Uske chehre par nikki ke sath hui jhadap ka tanav abhi bhi faila hua tha.
"baat aap hi se sambandhit hai ravi." thakur sahab bole - "aap jab se is haveli mein aaye hain. Hamare liye har cheej shubh hoti ja rahi hai. sach kahun to ab hamein aisa lagne laga hai jaise hamari har khushi aapse hokar hi jaati hai"
"main kuchh samjha nahi....? Aap kehna kya chahte hain?" ravi chaunkte hue kaha.
"ravi baat yah hai ki.....!" thakur sahab baat adhuri chhodkar apne sthan se uth khade hue. phir chahalkadmi karte hue ek sathan par khade ho gaye aur kuchh sochne lage.
Unhe khada hota dekh deewan ji bhi sofa chhod diye. Lekin ravi apni jagah baitha thakur sahab ki aur dekhta raha. Thakur sahab uski aur pith kiye khade the aur unke dono hath pichhe bandhe hue the.
"dar-asal....hum nikki ka vivaah karna chahte hain." thakur usi avashtha mein khade khade bole. Wo jo kuchh bhi kehna chahte the uske liye seedhe muh ravi se baat karna unhe sahaj nahi lag raha tha.
"ye to bahut khushi ki baat hai thakur sahab." ravi blaat muskurane ki koshish karte hue kaha.
"aap theek keh rahe hain ravi." thakur sahab ravi ki taraf palatkar bole - "ye waqai khushi ki baat hai, lekin hamari khushi abhi adhuri hai, ye tabhi puri hogi jab isme aapki marji bhi shaamil ho jayegi."
"m....meri marji?" ravi haklaya. - "main kuchh samjha nahi. Aap kis marji ki baat kar rahe hain?"
"ravi, humein zyada ghuma firakar baat karna nahi aata." thakur sahab ravi ki ghabrahat ko nazar-andaaz karte hue bole - "asal baat yah hai ki hum nikki ke liye aapki razamandi chahte hain. hamein nikki ke liye jaisa var chahiye tha wo sare goon aap mein hain. Sach to yah hai ravi ki jis din aapne radha ke saamne daamad hone ka naatak kiya....usi din se hum bhi aapko daamad ke roop mein dekhne lage hain. Ab agar aapko aitraaz na ho to, hum is rishtey ko pakka karna chahte hain."
Ravi soch mein pad gaya ! Usne socha bhi nahi tha ki thakur sahab use is tarah lapete mein lenge. ravi asmanjas mein pad gaya. Wo thakur sahab ko sab ke saamne na kehkar unka apmaan nahi karna chahta tha. Aur haan wo keh nahi sakta tha.
"kya soch rahe ho Ravi?" Achanak Thakur sahab ki awaaz se Ravi chonka. Usne Thakur sahab ke chehre par Drishti ghumaya.
"Aapke dil mein koi baat hai to hamein nisankoch Kah dijiye. Hum nahi chahte ki aap par kisi prakaar ka koi dabaav pade.." Thakur sahab uske chehre ke manobhavon ko parakhne ki chesta karte hue bole.
"thakur sahab, main aap sab ki bahut izzat karta hoon, plz....meri baat ka bura mat maaniyega." ravi ne namr swar mien thakur sahab se kaha -"Main is waqt aapke is sawal ka jawab nahi de sakta. Meri kuch majbooriyan hain. Mujhe thoda waqt chahiye. Filhaal main aapse ek baat ki izazat chahta hoon." Ravi kuchh der ke liye ruka phir bbol _"main apnii maa ko yahan bulana chahta hoon....agar aap logon ko koi pareshani na ho to?"
"Koi baat nahi ravi, hamein koi jaldi nahi hai. Aap theek se vichaar kar lijiye phir hamein bata dijiyega?" thakur sahab uski jhenp mitate hue bole - "ab rahi baat aapki maataji ki aane ki to unhe jarur bulaiye....unse milne ki ichha to hum bhi rakhte hain. Aur phir is Rishtey ke liye unki marji bhi to jaruri hogi. Aap avashya hi unhe yahan bulaiye. Unse mil kar hum behad khush honge."
"Ji. aapka bahut bahut dhanyvad thakur sahab." ravi ne khada hote hue kaha - "main kal hi maa ko phone karke yahan bula leta hoon."
"ravi babu." achanak se deewan ji bole - "main do ek din mein kisi kaam se shahar jane wala hoon. Agar aap uchit samjhe to aapki mataji mere sath hi aa jayengi. Mere hote unhe koi parshani bhi nahi hogi."
"isse achhi baat aur kya hogi deewan ji. Unke akele aane ko lekar main chintit tha. par ab meri chinta door ho gayi." ravi ne deewan ji ka aabhar prakat kiya.
"theek hai ravi, ab aap jaiye aaram kijiye. ab hum is sambandh mein aapki maataji ke aane ke baad hi baat karenge." thakur sahab ravi se bole.
"ji...bahut achha, namaste." ravi hath jodte hue thakur sahab aur deewan ji ko pranaam kiya. Phir seedhiyon ki taraf badh gaya.
"aapko kya lagta hai deewan ji? Kya Ravi is rishtey ke liye haan kahega?"" ravi ke jaane ke baad thakur sahab sofe par baithte hue deewan ji se puchhe.
"Bilkul kahega Malik ." Deewan ji praphullit swar mein bole. _"Aakhir Nikki mein kami hi kya hai. Wo sunder hai, Sushill hai, padhi likhi hai aur Sabse badh kar aapka Naam uske Naam se juda hai. Bhala Aise Rishtey Ko kaun na kehne ka saahas kar Sakta hai?."
Thakur sahab Diwan ji ki baatein sunkar khamosh to ho Gaye. Lekin jaane Kyun unke Dil mein ek dhadka sa rah Gaya tha jo kisi Anjani aashanka ka pata de Raha tha.

Ravi apne kamre mein baitha gahan vichaaron mein duba hua tha. Uske samajh mein nahi aa raha tha ki......maa ke aane ke baad wo thakur sahab ko kya jawab dega. thakur sahab ki aashayein uske sath judi hui thi. Wo kis prakaar unhe mana kar sakega. Wey bechare pehle hi ek lambe arse se patni ke dukh se pidit hain...unhe kitna kasht hoga jab wo nikki ke sath vivaah se inkaar karega?.
"jo bhi ho.....!" ravi mann mein badbadaya. - "main kanchan ke sath anyaay nahi kar sakta. Nikki ameer baap ki beti hai. Uske liye asaani se achhe rishtey mil jaayeng. Lekin kanchan...? Wo Jhopde mein rahne wali ek gareeb kissaan ki beti hai. Par yahan baat sirf ameeri gareebi ki bhi nahi hai. Kanchan mujhse pyar karti hai. Din raat ek hi sapna dekhti hai meri Dulhan banne ki. Kya..main uske sapne uske armanon Ko kuchal kar use tanha chhod Doon. Nahi hargiz nahi.. Nikki ke liye to main sirf ek zid hoon Lekin Kanchan ke liye uski zindagi. Aur phir swaym main bhi to usse pyar karta hoon. Kya main uske bagair jee sakunga. Aahhh...main uske bagair jeene ki to soch bhi nahi Sakta. Duniya idhar ki udhar ho jaaye par main kanchan ka sath nahi chhodunga. Haan...thakur sahab ka dil jarur dukhega. Par wey samajhdaar insaan hain meri bhavnaon ko samajh jaayenge. Ab mujhe sirf maa ko manana hai"
Usne tay kar liya tha ki wo kanchan ke liye jarurat padi to maa ka bhi virodh karega. Waise use apni maa par pura bharosa tha ki wo uski khushiyon ke virudh nahi jayegi.
Kanchan ki yaad aate hi uske hontho par muskurahat fail gayi. uski pyari surat ka smran hote hi uski sari chintayein door ho gayi. mastishk ka saara bhaar utar gaya. Wo kanchan ki yaadon mein khota chala gaya.

Din ke 1 baje the. Shanta apni dhun mein nadi ki aur jaane wali kachi aur ubad khaabad pagdandiyon par chali ja rahi thi. wo is waqt apne bhaiya sugna ke liye khana pahunchane khet gayi thi. use khana khilane ke baad ab wo nadi ki aur jaa rahi thi.
Shanta roz isi waqt sugna ke liye khana lekar khet jaati thi. par aaj usne kheton mein thoda kaam bhi kar liya tha. sirf ek ghante ki mehnat ne use puri tarah thaka daala tha. wo pasine se tar-batar ho chuki thi. aisi sthiti mein ghar jaane se pehle usne nadi mein jaakar snaan karna uchhit samjha.
Wo kisi gehri soch mein goom raaste mein chali ja rahi thi ki tabhi uske kaano se ek mardana swar takraya. Wah awaaz ki disha mein mudi. jaise hi uski nazar awaaz dene wale par padi uske dil ki dhadkane badh gayi. Jaane kya baat thi ki use dekhte hi shanta siharan se bhar gayi thi.
"achha to tu hai" shanta ne apni saanso ko kaabu mein karte hue kaha - "papi birju, kya aise awaaz dete hain kisi ko? tune to mujhe dara hi diya tha."
"galti ho gayi bua. Waise jaa kahan rahi ho?" birju ne apne kaale daant dikhate hue hansa.
"tumhe usse kya lena dena? Main kahin bhi jaaun.tu kyun puchh raha hai?" bua ne sawal kiya.
"isliye bua ki agar hamari manzil ek hai to kyon na hum sath sath chalein." birju ne do arthi shabdo mein kaha.
"tujh jaise papi ke sang se main akeli bhali" shanta use azeeb si nazron se dekhte hue boli.
"maine aisa kya kiya hai bua jo tum mujhe paapi keh rahi ho?" birju uske nikat pahunchta hua bola. -"na to maine tumhe kabhi chheda hai....na pareshaan kiya hai, na kabhi tumse kuchh ganda bola hai aur na hi kabhi tumhare sharir ko chhua hai. Phir kyon mujhe papi kehti ho?" birju ne shanta ke sharir ko upar se niche tak ghura.
Shanta uski kaamuk nazron ki chubhan apne badan par mehsus karke haule se thar-thara uthi. Birju ki pyasi nazron ko apne naazuk ango par thirakte dekh uske badan mein tez sansanahat bharti chali gayi. Use Wo pal yaad aa gaye jab wo birju ke ehsaas maatr se geeli hui thi. Kitna unmaadi pal tha wo. Kaisi masti mein dub gayi thi wo. Aaj phir waisi hi khumari dheere dheere uspar haavi hota ja raha tha. Uski palkein nashe se bhari hone lagi thi.
Shanta ne apni bhari hoti palkein kholkar birju ki aur dekha. Phir boli - "sabse pehle to tu mujhe bua mat kaha kar......! Sirf 3 saal chhota hai tu mujhse."
"to kya kahun? Shanta kahun...?" birju ne shanta ke badalte haav bhav ko dekhte hue kaha.
Wo ek Pakka shikaari tha. Usne shanta ki aankhon mein failte vaasnatmak lehron ko dekh liya tha. Uske badan mein badhti garmi ko wo mehsus karne laga tha. use shanta ke dil mein uthti chingaari ko thodi aur hawa dene ki jarurat thi. Phir us chingari ko shola bante der nahi lagna tha. Wo ye bhi jaan gaya tha ki shanta uske baaton ka virodh bhale hi kare.....par ho-halla nahi karegi.
"jo jee mein aaye keh.....par bua mat kaha kar." shanta Kaanpte swar mein boli.
"to theek hai shanta.....ab bata do....kahan ja rahi ho?" birju ne kaamuk swar mein kaha.
"tu aakhir chahta kya hai ye bata?" shanta uski aankhon mein jhakte hue boli.
"chahta to bahut kuchh hoon....par jo bhi tum khushi se dogi main le lunga shanta." wah dhithai ke sath bola. Usne shanta shabd par khash zor diya.
Shanta sar se paon tak kaanp gayi. Use birju ke saahas par aashcharya hua. Par jaane kyon use birju par gussa nahi aaya..usne birju ki aankhon mein jhanka, wahan use vaasna ke atirikt kuchh bhi nazar na aaya. Wah kuchh na boli. Bas stabdh hokar birju ke chehre ko dekhti rahi. Uska dil zoron se dhadak raha tha. birju ke aankhon ki tapish wo apne andar mehsus karne lagi thi.
Tabhi, achanak wo hua jiski kalpana shanta ne nahi ki thi. Birju ne use ek hath se gardan se pakda aur uske hontho par apne honth rakh diya.
Shanta.....awaak ! Ye sab kuch itna jaldi hua tha ki use kuchh bhi samajh mein nahi aaya tha. Birju uske honthon ko kuchalna aarambh kar chuka tha.
Shanta chhatpatayi !
Isse pehle ki wo kuchh aur kar paati. Birju ne ek aur kahar dhaya. Apna ek hath uske boobs par rakhkar daba diya.
Shanta ka sharir hi nahi uski aatma tak kaanp uthi. Vaasna ki tez lehar uske sharir mein bijli ki gati se fail gayi. par uska virodh ab bhi jaari tha. shanta puri shakti lagakar usse chhutne ka prayaas kar rahi thi.....kintu birju ke majboot hathon ki pakad se khud ko azaad nahi kar pa rahi thi.
Birju ne uske honth cusna aur boobs dabana jaari rakha. birju ke kathor hathon ka sparsh ab use garmane lagi thi. Ab uske honth bhi birju ke honthon se judne lage the. uska virodh ab dikhawa maatr ka rah gaya tha. Birju ne apne dusre hath ko gardan se hatakar uske nitambo par rakh diya aur use apne kamar se sata liya. Shanta usse sat-ti chali gayi. Birju uske nitambo ko masalne aur dabane laga.
birju ke honth ab uske gardan aur chhati ke aas-paas ghumne lage the. Shanta ke muh se anand mishrit siskaari futne lagi thi. Birju ke haath uske samast ango ko tatolne mein lage hue the. Shanta ki aankhein kab ki band ho chuki thi. Shanta birju ke chhedchhad se sukhe patte ki tarah udti ja rahi thi.
Birju ne ab der karna uchit nahi samjha. Usne apne dono hathon ko shanta ke nitammbo par rakha aur use upar utha liya. use apne hathon mein uthaye hue wah jhadiyon ki taraf badh gaya. Birju ne use liye hue zameen par lamba hota chala gaya. Birju ne use litate hi apna ek hath uske jaanghon par rakh diya.
Sahsa ! Shanata ki chetna lauti !
Usne birju ko ek tez dhakka diya aur jhat se khadi ho gayi.
Birju ne aashcharya se use dekha.
Shanta apni ukhdi saanson ko niyantarit karne ka prayaas kar rahi thi. Uski aankhein nashe ki khumari se laal aur bhari ho gayi thi.
"kya hua shanta?" birju na khushamad bhare swar mein puchha.
"m......main ye nahi kar sakti birju." wah ladkhadati awaaz mein boli.
"kyon.....? Kya dikkat hai?" birju ne adheer hokar puchha.
"main is waqt....din ke ujaale....is tarah khule mein ye nahi kar sakti. Mujhe maaf kar do." shanta boli aur birju ke uttar ki pratiksha kiye bagair tezi se nadi ki aur bhagti chali gayi.
Birju apni mutthiyan bhichta hua use jaata dekhta raha. Wo chahta to uske sath zor jabardasti kar sakta tha. Lekin wo use pyar se hi haasil karna chahta tha.
