Ko To Rok Lo {Update - 062}
____________________________
Maine keerti ke band mobile par ye msg send kiya aur fir samundar ki taraf bad chala. Ab na to mere pas jeene ka koi maksad bacha tha aur na hi ab mujhe kisi ki koi parwah thi.
Mujhe sirf keerti ka mujhse door jana najar aa raha tha. Jis se bachne ke liye mere pas maut ke siwa koi dusra rasta nahi tha. Isliye mai apni maut ki taraf bada chala ja raha tha.
Lekin mere upar abhi kisi ke pyar ka karz baki tha. Use utare bina marna mere nashib me nahi tha. Mere kadam raat ke sannate me samundar ki taraf bade chale ja rahe the. Tabhi mera mobile baj utha.
Maine mobile dekha to, keerti ka call aa raha tha. Maine call kaat diya. Lekin fir mobile baj utha. Mai jitni baar call katta. Utni baar wapas call aata. Jab maine call nahi uthya to, kuch der bad mere pas msg aa gaya.
Maine beman se msg pada. Lekin msg padte hi mere kadam jaha ke taha ruk gaye. Meri samajh me nahi aaya ki, ye sab kaise ho gaya. Mai wapas aakar apni jagah par baith gaya. Call abhi bhi aaye ja rahe the. Magar ab mere andar call uthane ki himmat nahi thi. Mai soch raha tha ki, kya karu aur kya na karu.
Mere pas keerti ke mobile se jo msg aaya tha.
Wo msg tha “bhaiya call uthao. Mai ami hu.”
Ye msg padkar mere marne ka irada to tal chuka tha. Lekin meri samajh me ye nahi aa raha tha ki, keerti ke mobile par ami kaise ho sakti hai. Yadi wo ami hi hai to, kya usne mera bheja hua msg pad liya hai. Jo wo is tarah se call lagayi ja rahi hai. Ya fir ye keerti hi mere msg ko padkar koi chaal chal rahi hai.
Idhar mai ye sab soche ja raha tha. Udhar keerti ke mobile se lagatar call aaye ja rahe the. Achanak mujhe khayal aaya ki, yadi ye sach me hi ami huyi to, kahi mere call na uthane se baat jyada na bigad jaye. Is baat ke mere dimag me aate hi, maine call utha liya aur dhadkate huye dil se kaha.
Mai bola “hello.”
Ami ne mere msg ko pad liya tha. Isliye wo mere call uthate hi rote huye kahne lagi.
Ami boli “bhaiya, aapne keerti didi ke mobile par ye kaisa msg bheja hai. Mai abhi jakar mummy se bolti hu ki, bhaiya keerti didi se naraj hokar marne ja rahe hai.”
Ami ki ye baat sunte hi, mere pairo ke niche ki jameen hi khisak gayi. Mujhe laga ki, ye abhi chhoti maa ko jakar sab kuch batayegi aur abhi hangama suru ho jayega. Ye khayal man me aate hi, maine apne har dard ko bhool kar, ami ko bade pyar se samjhate huye kaha.
Mai bola “pagal ladki, jaisa tu soch rahi hai. Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai. Ye msg to, yaha ke mere ek dost ne, mere mobile se apni girlfriend ko kiya tha. Mai usi ko delete kar raha tha. Dhokhe se wo keerti ke number par chala gaya. Maine ye batane ke liye call bhi kiya tha. Lekin tab keerti ka mobile band tha. Isliye call nahi gaya.”
Ami boli “yadi aisa tha to, fir aap call kyo nahi utha rahe the.”
Mai bola “mai uncle ke pas baitha tha. Ab unke pas se uth kar aane me wakt to lagta hai na. Yadi mujhe call na uthana hota to, fir mai call kaatta hi kyo. Call kaatne ka yahi matlab hota hai ki, abhi samne wala busy hai. Jab tu mobile chalane lagegi to, ye sab baten khud tere samajh me aa jayegi.”
Ami boli “bhaiya, aap sach bol rahe hai na.”
Mai bola “mujhe kisi pagal kutte ne kaata hai. Jo mai apni ami nimi ko chhod kar marne jauga. Mai to yaha hospital me uncle ke pas baitha hu aur abhi uncle so rahe hai. Meri to keerti se dopahar ke bad baat hi nahi huyi hai. Fir bhala mai us se kis baat par naraj rahuga. Mujhe to lagta hai ki, tu nimi se bhi jyada nasamajh hai. Jo itni si baat bhi nahi samajhti.”
Meri is baat ka ami par asar hua aur wo meri baat ko samajh gayi. Usne rahat ki saans lete huye kaha.
Ami boli “mai to dar hi gayi thi. Mujhe laga kahi aap sach me to ye sab karne nahi chale gaye.”
Mai bola “ab to sab baat samajh me aa gayi na. Ab ye bata ki, tu itni raat ko kyo jaag rahi hai aur tere pas ye keerti ka mobile kaha se aa gaya.”
Ami boli “bhaiya, mai aur nimi to aapko birthday wish karne ke liye jaag rahi thi. Magar nimi aapse baat hone ke thodi hi der bad so gayi. Lekin mai abhi tak jaag rahi hu. Happy bithday to you bhaiya.”
Ami ki baat sunkar meri aankhon se aansu chhalak pade. Ye aansu khushi ke bhi the aur us galti ke pachhtave ke bhi the. Jo mai abhi abhi karne ja raha tha. Mujhse kuch bhi kahte na bana. Maine sirf itna kaha.
Mai bola “thanks betu.”
Lekin meri itni si baat se hi ami ko aehsas ho gaya tha ki, mai ro raha hu. Use mujhe birthday wish karne se jo khushi mili thi. Wo khushi meri aankhon ke aansu mehsus karte hi udasi me badal gayi thi. Usne udasi bhare shabdon me mujhse kaha.
Ami boli “bhaiya aap ro kyo rahe ho. Aapko kya hua hai. Kya aapko kisi ne kuch kaha hai.”
Ami ki baat sunkar mujhe aehsas hua ki, mai ye kya kar raha hu. Apni us bholi bhali bahan ko bekar me dukhi kar raha hu. Jo abhi tak sirf isliye jaag rahi thi ki, mujhe birthday wish kar sake. Maine jaldi se apne aansu ponchhe aur ami ko chidate huye kaha.
Mai bola “ammo, tu sach me pagal hai. Are pagli ye aansu to is khushi ke hai ki, tum dono ko mera janam din yaad hai. Mujhe to yaad hi nahi tha ki, aaj mera janam din hai.”
Meri is baat se ami ko yakin ho gaya ki, meri aankhon me khushi ke aansu hai. Usne mujhe jhutha gussa dikhate huye kaha.
Ami boli “mai nahi, aap pagal ho aur bahut bade bhulakkad bhi ho. Jo aapko kuch bhi yaad nahi rahta.”
Mai ami ki baat ka matlab samajh gaya tha. Lekin mai chahta tha ki, meri baat ko lekar uske masoom se dil par koi bhi shaq na rahe. Isliye maine masoom bante huye kaha.
Mai bola “kyo mujhe kya yaad nahi rahta. Mai kya bhool gaya.”
Ami boli “are aap apna janam din hi bhool gaye. Aisa bhi kabhi hota hai. Mujhe aur nimi ko dekho. Hum log kabhi apna janam din nahi bhulte.”
Mai bola “mai bhool gaya to kya hua. Mera janamdin yaad rakhne ke liye meri pyari pyari ammo aur nimmo to hai. Ab ye bata mujhe janam din me kya gift de rahi hai.”
Ami boli “mai koi kamane jati hu. Jo mai aapko gift dugi.”
Mai bola “jyada baten mat bana. Mai janta hu. Tum dono ne mere gift ke liye chhoti maa ki naak me dam kar diya hoga.”
Meri baat sunkar ami khilkhilane lagi aur boli.
Ami boli “maine to aapke liye purse kharida hai.”
Mai bola “aur nimi ne kya kharida hai.”
Ami boli “wo mai nahi bata sakti. Yadi maine bata diya to, wo mujhse jhagda karegi.”
Mai bola “mai kaun sa use batane ja raha hu. Tu mujhe bata de. Mai use kuch nahi boluga.”
Ami boli “nimi ne aapke liye money bank kharida hai.”
Mai bola “kya meri umar use money bank rakhne ki lagti hai. Jo usne mere liye money bank kharida hai.”
Ami boli “maine bhi yahi kaha tha. Lekin wo kahne lagi ki, wo isme aapse paise judwayegi aur jab ye bhar jayega. Tab wo un paiso se aapke liye ek car kharidegi.”
Mai bola “car to tab aayegi. Jab wo money bank bharega. Lekin nimi ke rahte wo bhar hi nahi sakta. Use to aaye din paiso ki jarurat padti rahti hai. Wo khud hi usme se paise nikalti rahegi.”
Ami boli “yahi baat keerti didi ne bhi us se kahi thi. Lekin wo kahne lagi ki, is baar wo jarur use bhar kar rahegi.”
Keerti ka naam sunte hi mere dil ka dard taja ho gaya. Lekin sath hi sath ye bhi pata chal gaya ki, keerti bhi ye janti hai ki, aaj mera janam din hai. Magar shayad apni sagai ki khushi me use mujhe birthday wish karne ki jarurat hi mehsus nahi huyi. Maine apne dard ko chhupate huye ami se kaha.
Mai bola “chal, ab ye baten yahi par khatam kar. Ab yadi tera birthday wish karna ho gaya ho to, ye bata keerti ka mobile tere pas kaise aaya. Kya keerti ghar wapas aa gayi hai.”
Ami boli “nahi, didi abhi wapas nahi aayi hai. Unka mobile to dopahar se hi humare pas hai. Nimi dopahar ko unke mobile se aapko call laga rahi thi. Lekin aapne call nahi uthaya to, usne gusse me mobile band karke apne pas hi rakh liya tha. Tab se mobile nimi ke pas hi tha. Didi ke mangne par bhi usne mobile didi ko nahi diya tha. Fir didi ghar chali gayi to, mobile humare pas hi rah gaya.”
Mai bola “betu, ye to galat baat hai. Tum logon ko aisa nahi karna chahiye tha. Use mobile ke bina kitni pareshani ho rahi hogi.”
Ami boli “bhaiya, bas ek din ki hi to baat thi. Yadi didi yaha rahti to, hum unka mobile jarur de dete. Lekin didi ghar ja rahi thi aur hum ko raat ko aapko birthday wish bhi karna tha. Isliye hum dono ko aisa karna pada.”
Mai bola “betu, tum dono ko yadi wish hi karna tha to, tum chhoti maa ya aunty ka mobile bhi to le sakti thi.”
Ami boli “kaise le lete bahiya. Nimi ne jab se mummy ke gande mobile ko sabun se dhoya hai. Tab se to wo hume mobile chhine tak nahi deti hai. Ab aunty ke mobile me mehul bhaiya ke call aate rahte hai. Aise me wo apna mobile hume kyo degi.”
Mai bola “keerti to hai nahi. Fir abhi tum logon ke sath kaun so raha hai.”
Ami boli “hum dono akele so rahe hai. Nimi ne ro rokar mummy aur aunty ko niche sone ke liye bhaga diya hai. Nahi to wo log hume jagne nahi deti aur jaldi sula deti.”
Mai bola “thik hai. Ab tumhara b'day wish karna ho gaya hai. Ab keerti ka mobile band karke rakh do. Kal jab wo aaye to, use de dena. Ab kal se koi natak mat karna. Nahi to mai tum se naraj ho jauga. Ab tum bhi so jao.”
Ami boli “ok bhaiya. Kal se hum koi natak nahi karege. Happy b'day bhaiya. Good night.”
Mai bola “good night.”
Iske bad ami ne call rakh diya. Kuch der bad maine fir se call lagaya to, ami ne keerti ka mobile band kar diya tha. Maine rahat ki saans li aur fir time dekha to 12:30 baj chuka tha.
Mai ajib kashmkash me fasa hua tha. Na to keerti ka chehra mujhe jeene de raha tha aur na hi ami nimi ka chehra mujhe marne de raha tha. Mai isi jeene marne ki kashmkash me fasa hua wapas uncle ke pas aa gaya.
Aaj mera janamdin tha aur keerti ne mujhe mere janamdin par aisa tohfa diya tha. Jise mai jindgi bhar nahi bhula sakta tha. Mere man me jeene ki ichha hi khatam ho gayi thi.
Mai rona chahta tha. Apne aapko khatam kar dena chahta tha. Lekin jeene ke liye majbur tha. Mai bahar se to bilkul shant dikh raha tha. Magar mera dil andar hi andar ro raha tha.
Mai shayad duniya ka pahla aisa aashiq tha. Jo apni premika ki shadi ki khabar sunte hi is kadar toot gaya tha ki, uske pas apni premika se karne ke liye koi sawal hi nahi bacha tha.
Aisa hota bhi kyo na. Is baat ko khud us ladki ki maa ne kaha tha. Jise mai apni jaan samajhta tha. Mai inhi sab sochon me gum rah kar, ghanton tak, ek hi jagah par baitha raha.
Mai man hi man keerti se hajaron sawal kiye ja raha tha. Har sawal ke karne ke sath mujhe aisa lag raha tha. Jaise koi mere seene se mere dil ko khich kar bahar nikal raha ho. Mujhe apni haalat ka koi hosh na raha.
Saari raat kab aankhon hi aankon me gujar gayi. Iska mujhe pata hi nahi chala. Mujhe hosh tab aaya. Jab subah 6 baje nurse mere pas aayi. Usne aakar mujhe dekha aur mere chehre ko gaur se dekhte huye kaha.
Nurse boli “yaha sab thik to hai na.”
Mai bola “haan, sab thik hai.”
Nurse boli “aap thik to hai.”
Mai bola “haan mujhe kya hua.”
Nurse boli “ok to ab aap niche jaiye. Marij ko bath dene ka samay ho gaya hai.”
Nurse ke is tarah se baat karne ka karan mujhe samajh me nahi aaya. Lekin uski baat sunkar mai niche jarur aa gaya. Niche aakar mai apni jagah par jakar baith gaya. Lekin aaj us jagah par bhi mujhe koi shanti nahi mil rahi thi.
Mai abhi bhi udas aur gamgeen tha. Meri saari duniya lut jaane ka dard mere chehre se jhalak raha tha. Aise me meri najar ajay par padi. Us par najar padte hi mai apne aapko uski najar se chhupane laga.
Shayad mere andar kisi se najar milane ki takat nahi thi, ya fir mai apne gam ko sab se chhupana chahta tha. Lekin meri ye koshish bhi nakamyab rahi. Ajay ne mujhe dekh liya tha aur wo mere pas chala aaya.
Magar jab uski najar mere chehre par padi to, thodi der ke liye wo bhi saham gaya. Usne bas mujhse itna puchha.
Ajay bola “babu sahab, upar sab thik to hai.”
Maine muskurane ki nakamyab koshish karte huye kaha.
Mai bola “haan haan, sab thik hai. Aap aisa kyo puchh rahe hai.”
Ajay bola “wo isliye, kyoki aapke chehre ko dekh kar aisa lag raha hai. Jaise aap saari raat rote rahe hai.”
Mai bola “nahi, aisi koi baat nahi hai. Wo to saari raat jagne ki vajah se aisa lag raha hoga.”
Ajay bola “babu sahab, mai to kya, koi chhota sa bachcha bhi aapke chehre ko dekh kar yahi kahega ki, aap saari raat rote rahe hai.”
Mai bola “sach me aisi koi baat nahi hai. Do din se meri nind puri nahi ho pa rahi hai. Isliye aapko aisa lag raha hoga.”
Ajay ki parkhi najar samajh gayi thi ki, mujhe koi gam hai. Lekin mai apna gam use batana nahi chahta hu. Usne mujhse kaha.
Ajay bola “babu sahab, ho sakta hai ki aap sahi bol rahe ho. Lekin aapka chehra kuch aur hi bol raha hai. Acha to yahi hoga ki, aap apne doston ke aane ke pahle apna chehra sahi kar le. Nahi to meri tarah wo bhi aap se yahi sawal karege.”
Mujhe ajay ki ye baat sahi lagi. Mai uth kar andar muh hath dhone chala gaya. Jab mai muh hath dhokar bahar nikla to, ajay coffee liye mera intejar kar raha tha. Mai uske pas pahucha to usne mujhe coffee di. Maine us se coffee lete huye kaha.
Mai bola “kya hua. Aap abhi tak yahi khade huye hai. Kya aaj aapko koi sawari nahi mil rahi hai.”
Ajay bola “sawari ka kya hai babu sahab. Ek gayi to dusri mil jayegi. Lekin sahi baat ye hai ki, aapko aise me chhod kar jaane ka mera dil hi nahi kiya.”
Mai bola “are mujhe sach me kuch nahi hua. Aap bekar me pareshan mat hoiye.”
Ajay bola “babu sahab, mai bhi is daur se gujar chuka hu. Isliye janta hu ki, aapko kis baat ka gam hai. Aap bhale mujhe dost nahi mante. Magar mai to aapko dost manta hu. Fir bhala aapko kaise akela chhod kar ja sakta hu.”
Mujhe ajay ki ye sab baten achi lag rahi thi. Fir bhi mai use apne dil ka haal nahi bata sakta tha. Maine apni baat se uska dhyan hatane ke liye us se kaha.
Mai bola “aap bhi ajib baat karte ho. Ek taraf to mujhe apna dost samajhte ho, aur dusri taraf mujhe babu sahab kahte ho. Mujhe aapki dosti ka ye raz kuch samajh me nahi aaya.”
Ajay bola “mai to aapko dost samajhta hu. Lekin jab aap hi mujhe dost nahi samajhte to, fir bhala mai aapko aapke naam se kaise bula sakta hu.”
Mai bola “aisi baat nahi hai ajay bhai. Yadi mai aapko apna dost nahi samajhta hota to, fir aapse itni baten hi kyo karta. Acha yahi hoga ki ab aap mujhe babu sahab ki jagah punnu hi kahe.”
Ajay bola “tab aap bhi mujhe sirf ajji hi kahiye. Dosti me ye aap vaap acha nahi lagta.”
Mai bola “ok ajji. Kya tum mera ek kaam karoge.”
Ajay bola “ek kya, sau kaam bolo bhai. Dosti ke liye to ye jaan bhi hajir hai.”
Mai bola “mujhe aaj rukne ke liye hotel me ek kamra chahiye. Lekin mere pas koi saman nahi hai. Isliye bina saman ke mujhe hotel me kamra milne me bahut pareshani hogi. Kya tum mujhe kisi hotel me kamra dila sakte ho.”
Ajay bola “lekin tum to apne dost ke ghar ruke huye ho. Fir tumhe hotel me rukne ki kya jarurat hai.”
Mai bola “ye mat puchho. Tum yadi kar sakte ho to, bas aaj ke liye mera ye kaam kar do.”
Ajay bola “yadi aisi baat hai to, tum, mere ghar me ruk sakte ho.”
Mai bola “nahi, yadi mujhe ghar me hi rukna hota to, fir mere dost ke ghar me koi burai nahi thi. Mai aaj akela rahna chahta hu.”
Ajay shayad meri baat ka matlab samajh chuka tha. Us ne mujhse kaha.
Ajay bola “mera ghar kisi hotel se kam nahi hai. Tumhe waha koi pareshani nahi hogi. Kyoki waha mere siwa aur koi nahi hai. Tum waha jaise chahe, waise rah sakte ho. Isi bahane tum mera ghar bhi dekh loge.”
Jab ajay mere bahut samjhane par bhi nahi maana to, mujhe uski baat manna hi padi. Maine use uske ghar jaane ke liye haan kah diya. Iske bad meri us se idhar udhar ki baat hoti rahi.
Is bich uske pas kayi sawari aayi. Magar us ne sabhi sawari ko le jaane se mana kar diya. Shayad wo mujhe akela chhodna nahi chahta tha. Fir 7 baje mehul aa gaya. Meri mehul se thodi bahut uncle ko lekar baten huyi.
Uske bad maine mehul ka ajay se parichay karaya aur us se kaha ki, aaj mai din bhar ajay ke sath hi rahuga. Isliye aaj mera raj ke ghar jana nahi ho payega. Tum raj ko aur uske ghar walon ko ye baat bata dena. Ho sakta hai ki din me mera mobile bhi band rahe. Isliye yadi ghar se koi phone aaye to, use bhi tum sambhal lena.
Meri is baat ka matlab mehul nahi samajh saka. Use ye laga ki mai ajay ke sath ghumne ja raha hu. Isliye ye sab us se kah raha hu. Usne meri har baat ko haan kaha. Fir wo upar uncle ke pas chala gaya.
Mehul ke jate hi maine chhoti maa ko call laga diya. Unne call uthate hi mujhe b'day wish kiya. Fir nimi ko call thama diya. Nimi ne bhi mujhe b'day wish kiya aur fir hamsesha ki tarah apni baton ka pitara khol liya.
Thodi der tak mai uski baten sunta raha. Fir maine use bataya ki mai apne dost ke sath uske ghar ja raha hu. Isliye aaj dopahar me us se baat nahi kar pauga. Lekin use laga ki mai us se jhuth bol raha hu.
Tab maine uski ajay se baat kara di. Fir jakar usne mujhe call na karne ki sahmati di. Iske bad meri ami se baat huyi. Usne abhi bhi mujhe b'day wish kiya. Us se thodi bahut baat karne ke bad maine call rakh diya.
Call rakhne ke bad maine ajay se ghar chalne ko kaha. Meri baat sunte hi ajay ne apni taxi nikali aur hum uske ghar ke liye nikal pade. Raste me maine ek sharab ki dukan ke samne taxi rukwa di.
Ajay shayad pahle se hi janta tha ki, mai aaj hotel me kyo rukna chahta hu. Usne mujhse sirf itna kaha ki, tum kisi cheej ki chinta mat karo. Ye sab cheeje tumhe mere ghar me hi mil jayegi.
Uske bad hum dono uske ghar ke liye nikal pade. Kuch hi der bad hum ajay ke ghar pahuch gaye. Uske ghar pahuchne ke bad mai uske ghar ko dekhta rah gaya. Maine jaisa soch rakha tha, us se bilkul ulta uska ghar tha.
Use ghar kahna hi galat tha. Wo kisi bungalow se kam nahi tha. Uske mukable me riya raaj ka ghar bhi kuch nahi tha. Us bungalow ke main gate me taala laga hua tha. Ajay ne taxi se utar kar taala khola aur hum andar pahuche.
Ghar ke andar ka bhi wahi haal tha. Dekhne se kahi se bhi nahi lag raha tha ki, wo kisi taxi wale ka ghar hai. Balki aisa lag raha tha. Jaise ki mai kisi businessman ke ghar aa gaya hu.
Mere man me is sab ko janne ki jigyasha to huyi thi. Magar us samay mere andar kisi baat ko samajhne ki takat nahi thi. Mai sirf akelapan chahta tha. Jiski vajah se mai ajay ke ghar aaya tha.
Ajay ne mujhe mera kamra dikhaya aur mujhse fresh ho jaane ko kaha. Mai fresh hone chala gaya. Mai jab fresh hokar aaya to ajay ek trolley dakelte huye mere kamre me le aaya.
Us trolley me ek old monk rum ki bottle, soda aur dry fruit the. Usne trolley ko mere bed ke samne lakar khada kar diya. Fir usne almari se ek night suit nikala aur mujhe dete huye kaha.
Ajay bola "tum chaho to ye night sute pahan sakte ho. Tum shayad pahli baar pi rahe ho. Isliye tumhare liye ye brand laya hu. Tumhe yadi ye brand pasnd na aaye to tum bhahar se apni pasand ka brand le sakte ho. Tum jitni chahe utni pi sakte ho. Meri taraf se tumhe koi rok nahi hai. Mai tumhe disturb karne bhi nahi aauga. Bas meri tumse ek request hai.”
Mai bola “kya.”
Ajay bola “tum is samay bahut upset lag rahe ho. Isliye sharab pikar apne gam ko bhulana chahte ho. Lekin sharab peene ke bad kya hota hai. Shayad tum is baat ko nahi jante. Sharab ke nashe me aksar insan wo sab kar baithta hai. Jo wo kabhi karna nahi chahta.”
“Mai nahi chahta ki tumhare sath bhi aisa hi kuch ho. Ya fir tum sharab ke nashe me kisi ko koi ulta sidha call kar baitho. Isliye yadi tum bura na mano to apna mobile mujhe de do. Jis se aisa kuch hone se bacha ja sake.”
Mujhe ajay ki is baat me sachchai najar aayi. Lekin mujhe apne upar pura viswas tha. Lekin us viswas se jyada mujhe apne mobile se lagav tha. Kyoki mere mobile me keerti ke msg aur uski photo thi. Jis vajah se mai chah kar bhi apne mobile ko kisi ke hawale nahi kar sakta tha. Maine ajay ko talte huye kaha.
Mai bola “tum galat soch rahe ho yaar. Mai kisi gam ko bhulane ke liye sharab nahi pi raha. Mai to sirf apni thakan mitane aur nind puri karne ke liye sharab peena chahta hu. Isliye jaisa tum soch rahe ho. Waisa kuch bhi nahi hoga.”
“Mujhe apna mobile tumhe dene me koi pareshani nahi hai. Lekin isme meri jaan ki tasveer hai. Jise mai ek pal ke liye bhi khud se door nahi kar sakta. Tum kisi baat ki chinta mat karo. Mai ek do peg lekar so jauga.”
Meri baat sunkar ajay samajh gaya ki, mai apna gam use batana nahi chahta hu. Wo muskurate huye, kamre se bahar nikal gaya. Uske jate hi maine darwaja band kiya aur apne kapde badle.
Ab mai har tarah se aajad tha. Mai sharab ke nashe me keerti ki bewafai ko bhula dena chahta tha. Maine time dekha to 8:30 baj chuke the. Mai aakar bistar par tik kar baith gaya.
Maine mobile me keerti ka photo nikala aur use dekhne laga. Kal tak jis photo ko dekh kar mere chehre par muskurahat aa jaati thi. Aaj usi photo ko dekh kar meri aankhon se aansu bahne lage aur mere dil ka dard aah bankar gunjne laga.

____________________________
Maine keerti ke band mobile par ye msg send kiya aur fir samundar ki taraf bad chala. Ab na to mere pas jeene ka koi maksad bacha tha aur na hi ab mujhe kisi ki koi parwah thi.
Mujhe sirf keerti ka mujhse door jana najar aa raha tha. Jis se bachne ke liye mere pas maut ke siwa koi dusra rasta nahi tha. Isliye mai apni maut ki taraf bada chala ja raha tha.
Lekin mere upar abhi kisi ke pyar ka karz baki tha. Use utare bina marna mere nashib me nahi tha. Mere kadam raat ke sannate me samundar ki taraf bade chale ja rahe the. Tabhi mera mobile baj utha.
Maine mobile dekha to, keerti ka call aa raha tha. Maine call kaat diya. Lekin fir mobile baj utha. Mai jitni baar call katta. Utni baar wapas call aata. Jab maine call nahi uthya to, kuch der bad mere pas msg aa gaya.
Maine beman se msg pada. Lekin msg padte hi mere kadam jaha ke taha ruk gaye. Meri samajh me nahi aaya ki, ye sab kaise ho gaya. Mai wapas aakar apni jagah par baith gaya. Call abhi bhi aaye ja rahe the. Magar ab mere andar call uthane ki himmat nahi thi. Mai soch raha tha ki, kya karu aur kya na karu.
Mere pas keerti ke mobile se jo msg aaya tha.
Wo msg tha “bhaiya call uthao. Mai ami hu.”
Ye msg padkar mere marne ka irada to tal chuka tha. Lekin meri samajh me ye nahi aa raha tha ki, keerti ke mobile par ami kaise ho sakti hai. Yadi wo ami hi hai to, kya usne mera bheja hua msg pad liya hai. Jo wo is tarah se call lagayi ja rahi hai. Ya fir ye keerti hi mere msg ko padkar koi chaal chal rahi hai.
Idhar mai ye sab soche ja raha tha. Udhar keerti ke mobile se lagatar call aaye ja rahe the. Achanak mujhe khayal aaya ki, yadi ye sach me hi ami huyi to, kahi mere call na uthane se baat jyada na bigad jaye. Is baat ke mere dimag me aate hi, maine call utha liya aur dhadkate huye dil se kaha.
Mai bola “hello.”
Ami ne mere msg ko pad liya tha. Isliye wo mere call uthate hi rote huye kahne lagi.
Ami boli “bhaiya, aapne keerti didi ke mobile par ye kaisa msg bheja hai. Mai abhi jakar mummy se bolti hu ki, bhaiya keerti didi se naraj hokar marne ja rahe hai.”
Ami ki ye baat sunte hi, mere pairo ke niche ki jameen hi khisak gayi. Mujhe laga ki, ye abhi chhoti maa ko jakar sab kuch batayegi aur abhi hangama suru ho jayega. Ye khayal man me aate hi, maine apne har dard ko bhool kar, ami ko bade pyar se samjhate huye kaha.
Mai bola “pagal ladki, jaisa tu soch rahi hai. Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai. Ye msg to, yaha ke mere ek dost ne, mere mobile se apni girlfriend ko kiya tha. Mai usi ko delete kar raha tha. Dhokhe se wo keerti ke number par chala gaya. Maine ye batane ke liye call bhi kiya tha. Lekin tab keerti ka mobile band tha. Isliye call nahi gaya.”
Ami boli “yadi aisa tha to, fir aap call kyo nahi utha rahe the.”
Mai bola “mai uncle ke pas baitha tha. Ab unke pas se uth kar aane me wakt to lagta hai na. Yadi mujhe call na uthana hota to, fir mai call kaatta hi kyo. Call kaatne ka yahi matlab hota hai ki, abhi samne wala busy hai. Jab tu mobile chalane lagegi to, ye sab baten khud tere samajh me aa jayegi.”
Ami boli “bhaiya, aap sach bol rahe hai na.”
Mai bola “mujhe kisi pagal kutte ne kaata hai. Jo mai apni ami nimi ko chhod kar marne jauga. Mai to yaha hospital me uncle ke pas baitha hu aur abhi uncle so rahe hai. Meri to keerti se dopahar ke bad baat hi nahi huyi hai. Fir bhala mai us se kis baat par naraj rahuga. Mujhe to lagta hai ki, tu nimi se bhi jyada nasamajh hai. Jo itni si baat bhi nahi samajhti.”
Meri is baat ka ami par asar hua aur wo meri baat ko samajh gayi. Usne rahat ki saans lete huye kaha.
Ami boli “mai to dar hi gayi thi. Mujhe laga kahi aap sach me to ye sab karne nahi chale gaye.”
Mai bola “ab to sab baat samajh me aa gayi na. Ab ye bata ki, tu itni raat ko kyo jaag rahi hai aur tere pas ye keerti ka mobile kaha se aa gaya.”
Ami boli “bhaiya, mai aur nimi to aapko birthday wish karne ke liye jaag rahi thi. Magar nimi aapse baat hone ke thodi hi der bad so gayi. Lekin mai abhi tak jaag rahi hu. Happy bithday to you bhaiya.”
Ami ki baat sunkar meri aankhon se aansu chhalak pade. Ye aansu khushi ke bhi the aur us galti ke pachhtave ke bhi the. Jo mai abhi abhi karne ja raha tha. Mujhse kuch bhi kahte na bana. Maine sirf itna kaha.
Mai bola “thanks betu.”
Lekin meri itni si baat se hi ami ko aehsas ho gaya tha ki, mai ro raha hu. Use mujhe birthday wish karne se jo khushi mili thi. Wo khushi meri aankhon ke aansu mehsus karte hi udasi me badal gayi thi. Usne udasi bhare shabdon me mujhse kaha.
Ami boli “bhaiya aap ro kyo rahe ho. Aapko kya hua hai. Kya aapko kisi ne kuch kaha hai.”
Ami ki baat sunkar mujhe aehsas hua ki, mai ye kya kar raha hu. Apni us bholi bhali bahan ko bekar me dukhi kar raha hu. Jo abhi tak sirf isliye jaag rahi thi ki, mujhe birthday wish kar sake. Maine jaldi se apne aansu ponchhe aur ami ko chidate huye kaha.
Mai bola “ammo, tu sach me pagal hai. Are pagli ye aansu to is khushi ke hai ki, tum dono ko mera janam din yaad hai. Mujhe to yaad hi nahi tha ki, aaj mera janam din hai.”
Meri is baat se ami ko yakin ho gaya ki, meri aankhon me khushi ke aansu hai. Usne mujhe jhutha gussa dikhate huye kaha.
Ami boli “mai nahi, aap pagal ho aur bahut bade bhulakkad bhi ho. Jo aapko kuch bhi yaad nahi rahta.”
Mai ami ki baat ka matlab samajh gaya tha. Lekin mai chahta tha ki, meri baat ko lekar uske masoom se dil par koi bhi shaq na rahe. Isliye maine masoom bante huye kaha.
Mai bola “kyo mujhe kya yaad nahi rahta. Mai kya bhool gaya.”
Ami boli “are aap apna janam din hi bhool gaye. Aisa bhi kabhi hota hai. Mujhe aur nimi ko dekho. Hum log kabhi apna janam din nahi bhulte.”
Mai bola “mai bhool gaya to kya hua. Mera janamdin yaad rakhne ke liye meri pyari pyari ammo aur nimmo to hai. Ab ye bata mujhe janam din me kya gift de rahi hai.”
Ami boli “mai koi kamane jati hu. Jo mai aapko gift dugi.”
Mai bola “jyada baten mat bana. Mai janta hu. Tum dono ne mere gift ke liye chhoti maa ki naak me dam kar diya hoga.”
Meri baat sunkar ami khilkhilane lagi aur boli.
Ami boli “maine to aapke liye purse kharida hai.”
Mai bola “aur nimi ne kya kharida hai.”
Ami boli “wo mai nahi bata sakti. Yadi maine bata diya to, wo mujhse jhagda karegi.”
Mai bola “mai kaun sa use batane ja raha hu. Tu mujhe bata de. Mai use kuch nahi boluga.”
Ami boli “nimi ne aapke liye money bank kharida hai.”
Mai bola “kya meri umar use money bank rakhne ki lagti hai. Jo usne mere liye money bank kharida hai.”
Ami boli “maine bhi yahi kaha tha. Lekin wo kahne lagi ki, wo isme aapse paise judwayegi aur jab ye bhar jayega. Tab wo un paiso se aapke liye ek car kharidegi.”
Mai bola “car to tab aayegi. Jab wo money bank bharega. Lekin nimi ke rahte wo bhar hi nahi sakta. Use to aaye din paiso ki jarurat padti rahti hai. Wo khud hi usme se paise nikalti rahegi.”
Ami boli “yahi baat keerti didi ne bhi us se kahi thi. Lekin wo kahne lagi ki, is baar wo jarur use bhar kar rahegi.”
Keerti ka naam sunte hi mere dil ka dard taja ho gaya. Lekin sath hi sath ye bhi pata chal gaya ki, keerti bhi ye janti hai ki, aaj mera janam din hai. Magar shayad apni sagai ki khushi me use mujhe birthday wish karne ki jarurat hi mehsus nahi huyi. Maine apne dard ko chhupate huye ami se kaha.
Mai bola “chal, ab ye baten yahi par khatam kar. Ab yadi tera birthday wish karna ho gaya ho to, ye bata keerti ka mobile tere pas kaise aaya. Kya keerti ghar wapas aa gayi hai.”
Ami boli “nahi, didi abhi wapas nahi aayi hai. Unka mobile to dopahar se hi humare pas hai. Nimi dopahar ko unke mobile se aapko call laga rahi thi. Lekin aapne call nahi uthaya to, usne gusse me mobile band karke apne pas hi rakh liya tha. Tab se mobile nimi ke pas hi tha. Didi ke mangne par bhi usne mobile didi ko nahi diya tha. Fir didi ghar chali gayi to, mobile humare pas hi rah gaya.”
Mai bola “betu, ye to galat baat hai. Tum logon ko aisa nahi karna chahiye tha. Use mobile ke bina kitni pareshani ho rahi hogi.”
Ami boli “bhaiya, bas ek din ki hi to baat thi. Yadi didi yaha rahti to, hum unka mobile jarur de dete. Lekin didi ghar ja rahi thi aur hum ko raat ko aapko birthday wish bhi karna tha. Isliye hum dono ko aisa karna pada.”
Mai bola “betu, tum dono ko yadi wish hi karna tha to, tum chhoti maa ya aunty ka mobile bhi to le sakti thi.”
Ami boli “kaise le lete bahiya. Nimi ne jab se mummy ke gande mobile ko sabun se dhoya hai. Tab se to wo hume mobile chhine tak nahi deti hai. Ab aunty ke mobile me mehul bhaiya ke call aate rahte hai. Aise me wo apna mobile hume kyo degi.”
Mai bola “keerti to hai nahi. Fir abhi tum logon ke sath kaun so raha hai.”
Ami boli “hum dono akele so rahe hai. Nimi ne ro rokar mummy aur aunty ko niche sone ke liye bhaga diya hai. Nahi to wo log hume jagne nahi deti aur jaldi sula deti.”
Mai bola “thik hai. Ab tumhara b'day wish karna ho gaya hai. Ab keerti ka mobile band karke rakh do. Kal jab wo aaye to, use de dena. Ab kal se koi natak mat karna. Nahi to mai tum se naraj ho jauga. Ab tum bhi so jao.”
Ami boli “ok bhaiya. Kal se hum koi natak nahi karege. Happy b'day bhaiya. Good night.”
Mai bola “good night.”
Iske bad ami ne call rakh diya. Kuch der bad maine fir se call lagaya to, ami ne keerti ka mobile band kar diya tha. Maine rahat ki saans li aur fir time dekha to 12:30 baj chuka tha.
Mai ajib kashmkash me fasa hua tha. Na to keerti ka chehra mujhe jeene de raha tha aur na hi ami nimi ka chehra mujhe marne de raha tha. Mai isi jeene marne ki kashmkash me fasa hua wapas uncle ke pas aa gaya.
Aaj mera janamdin tha aur keerti ne mujhe mere janamdin par aisa tohfa diya tha. Jise mai jindgi bhar nahi bhula sakta tha. Mere man me jeene ki ichha hi khatam ho gayi thi.
Mai rona chahta tha. Apne aapko khatam kar dena chahta tha. Lekin jeene ke liye majbur tha. Mai bahar se to bilkul shant dikh raha tha. Magar mera dil andar hi andar ro raha tha.
Mai shayad duniya ka pahla aisa aashiq tha. Jo apni premika ki shadi ki khabar sunte hi is kadar toot gaya tha ki, uske pas apni premika se karne ke liye koi sawal hi nahi bacha tha.
Aisa hota bhi kyo na. Is baat ko khud us ladki ki maa ne kaha tha. Jise mai apni jaan samajhta tha. Mai inhi sab sochon me gum rah kar, ghanton tak, ek hi jagah par baitha raha.
Mai man hi man keerti se hajaron sawal kiye ja raha tha. Har sawal ke karne ke sath mujhe aisa lag raha tha. Jaise koi mere seene se mere dil ko khich kar bahar nikal raha ho. Mujhe apni haalat ka koi hosh na raha.
Saari raat kab aankhon hi aankon me gujar gayi. Iska mujhe pata hi nahi chala. Mujhe hosh tab aaya. Jab subah 6 baje nurse mere pas aayi. Usne aakar mujhe dekha aur mere chehre ko gaur se dekhte huye kaha.
Nurse boli “yaha sab thik to hai na.”
Mai bola “haan, sab thik hai.”
Nurse boli “aap thik to hai.”
Mai bola “haan mujhe kya hua.”
Nurse boli “ok to ab aap niche jaiye. Marij ko bath dene ka samay ho gaya hai.”
Nurse ke is tarah se baat karne ka karan mujhe samajh me nahi aaya. Lekin uski baat sunkar mai niche jarur aa gaya. Niche aakar mai apni jagah par jakar baith gaya. Lekin aaj us jagah par bhi mujhe koi shanti nahi mil rahi thi.
Mai abhi bhi udas aur gamgeen tha. Meri saari duniya lut jaane ka dard mere chehre se jhalak raha tha. Aise me meri najar ajay par padi. Us par najar padte hi mai apne aapko uski najar se chhupane laga.
Shayad mere andar kisi se najar milane ki takat nahi thi, ya fir mai apne gam ko sab se chhupana chahta tha. Lekin meri ye koshish bhi nakamyab rahi. Ajay ne mujhe dekh liya tha aur wo mere pas chala aaya.
Magar jab uski najar mere chehre par padi to, thodi der ke liye wo bhi saham gaya. Usne bas mujhse itna puchha.
Ajay bola “babu sahab, upar sab thik to hai.”
Maine muskurane ki nakamyab koshish karte huye kaha.
Mai bola “haan haan, sab thik hai. Aap aisa kyo puchh rahe hai.”
Ajay bola “wo isliye, kyoki aapke chehre ko dekh kar aisa lag raha hai. Jaise aap saari raat rote rahe hai.”
Mai bola “nahi, aisi koi baat nahi hai. Wo to saari raat jagne ki vajah se aisa lag raha hoga.”
Ajay bola “babu sahab, mai to kya, koi chhota sa bachcha bhi aapke chehre ko dekh kar yahi kahega ki, aap saari raat rote rahe hai.”
Mai bola “sach me aisi koi baat nahi hai. Do din se meri nind puri nahi ho pa rahi hai. Isliye aapko aisa lag raha hoga.”
Ajay ki parkhi najar samajh gayi thi ki, mujhe koi gam hai. Lekin mai apna gam use batana nahi chahta hu. Usne mujhse kaha.
Ajay bola “babu sahab, ho sakta hai ki aap sahi bol rahe ho. Lekin aapka chehra kuch aur hi bol raha hai. Acha to yahi hoga ki, aap apne doston ke aane ke pahle apna chehra sahi kar le. Nahi to meri tarah wo bhi aap se yahi sawal karege.”
Mujhe ajay ki ye baat sahi lagi. Mai uth kar andar muh hath dhone chala gaya. Jab mai muh hath dhokar bahar nikla to, ajay coffee liye mera intejar kar raha tha. Mai uske pas pahucha to usne mujhe coffee di. Maine us se coffee lete huye kaha.
Mai bola “kya hua. Aap abhi tak yahi khade huye hai. Kya aaj aapko koi sawari nahi mil rahi hai.”
Ajay bola “sawari ka kya hai babu sahab. Ek gayi to dusri mil jayegi. Lekin sahi baat ye hai ki, aapko aise me chhod kar jaane ka mera dil hi nahi kiya.”
Mai bola “are mujhe sach me kuch nahi hua. Aap bekar me pareshan mat hoiye.”
Ajay bola “babu sahab, mai bhi is daur se gujar chuka hu. Isliye janta hu ki, aapko kis baat ka gam hai. Aap bhale mujhe dost nahi mante. Magar mai to aapko dost manta hu. Fir bhala aapko kaise akela chhod kar ja sakta hu.”
Mujhe ajay ki ye sab baten achi lag rahi thi. Fir bhi mai use apne dil ka haal nahi bata sakta tha. Maine apni baat se uska dhyan hatane ke liye us se kaha.
Mai bola “aap bhi ajib baat karte ho. Ek taraf to mujhe apna dost samajhte ho, aur dusri taraf mujhe babu sahab kahte ho. Mujhe aapki dosti ka ye raz kuch samajh me nahi aaya.”
Ajay bola “mai to aapko dost samajhta hu. Lekin jab aap hi mujhe dost nahi samajhte to, fir bhala mai aapko aapke naam se kaise bula sakta hu.”
Mai bola “aisi baat nahi hai ajay bhai. Yadi mai aapko apna dost nahi samajhta hota to, fir aapse itni baten hi kyo karta. Acha yahi hoga ki ab aap mujhe babu sahab ki jagah punnu hi kahe.”
Ajay bola “tab aap bhi mujhe sirf ajji hi kahiye. Dosti me ye aap vaap acha nahi lagta.”
Mai bola “ok ajji. Kya tum mera ek kaam karoge.”
Ajay bola “ek kya, sau kaam bolo bhai. Dosti ke liye to ye jaan bhi hajir hai.”
Mai bola “mujhe aaj rukne ke liye hotel me ek kamra chahiye. Lekin mere pas koi saman nahi hai. Isliye bina saman ke mujhe hotel me kamra milne me bahut pareshani hogi. Kya tum mujhe kisi hotel me kamra dila sakte ho.”
Ajay bola “lekin tum to apne dost ke ghar ruke huye ho. Fir tumhe hotel me rukne ki kya jarurat hai.”
Mai bola “ye mat puchho. Tum yadi kar sakte ho to, bas aaj ke liye mera ye kaam kar do.”
Ajay bola “yadi aisi baat hai to, tum, mere ghar me ruk sakte ho.”
Mai bola “nahi, yadi mujhe ghar me hi rukna hota to, fir mere dost ke ghar me koi burai nahi thi. Mai aaj akela rahna chahta hu.”
Ajay shayad meri baat ka matlab samajh chuka tha. Us ne mujhse kaha.
Ajay bola “mera ghar kisi hotel se kam nahi hai. Tumhe waha koi pareshani nahi hogi. Kyoki waha mere siwa aur koi nahi hai. Tum waha jaise chahe, waise rah sakte ho. Isi bahane tum mera ghar bhi dekh loge.”
Jab ajay mere bahut samjhane par bhi nahi maana to, mujhe uski baat manna hi padi. Maine use uske ghar jaane ke liye haan kah diya. Iske bad meri us se idhar udhar ki baat hoti rahi.
Is bich uske pas kayi sawari aayi. Magar us ne sabhi sawari ko le jaane se mana kar diya. Shayad wo mujhe akela chhodna nahi chahta tha. Fir 7 baje mehul aa gaya. Meri mehul se thodi bahut uncle ko lekar baten huyi.
Uske bad maine mehul ka ajay se parichay karaya aur us se kaha ki, aaj mai din bhar ajay ke sath hi rahuga. Isliye aaj mera raj ke ghar jana nahi ho payega. Tum raj ko aur uske ghar walon ko ye baat bata dena. Ho sakta hai ki din me mera mobile bhi band rahe. Isliye yadi ghar se koi phone aaye to, use bhi tum sambhal lena.
Meri is baat ka matlab mehul nahi samajh saka. Use ye laga ki mai ajay ke sath ghumne ja raha hu. Isliye ye sab us se kah raha hu. Usne meri har baat ko haan kaha. Fir wo upar uncle ke pas chala gaya.
Mehul ke jate hi maine chhoti maa ko call laga diya. Unne call uthate hi mujhe b'day wish kiya. Fir nimi ko call thama diya. Nimi ne bhi mujhe b'day wish kiya aur fir hamsesha ki tarah apni baton ka pitara khol liya.
Thodi der tak mai uski baten sunta raha. Fir maine use bataya ki mai apne dost ke sath uske ghar ja raha hu. Isliye aaj dopahar me us se baat nahi kar pauga. Lekin use laga ki mai us se jhuth bol raha hu.
Tab maine uski ajay se baat kara di. Fir jakar usne mujhe call na karne ki sahmati di. Iske bad meri ami se baat huyi. Usne abhi bhi mujhe b'day wish kiya. Us se thodi bahut baat karne ke bad maine call rakh diya.
Call rakhne ke bad maine ajay se ghar chalne ko kaha. Meri baat sunte hi ajay ne apni taxi nikali aur hum uske ghar ke liye nikal pade. Raste me maine ek sharab ki dukan ke samne taxi rukwa di.
Ajay shayad pahle se hi janta tha ki, mai aaj hotel me kyo rukna chahta hu. Usne mujhse sirf itna kaha ki, tum kisi cheej ki chinta mat karo. Ye sab cheeje tumhe mere ghar me hi mil jayegi.
Uske bad hum dono uske ghar ke liye nikal pade. Kuch hi der bad hum ajay ke ghar pahuch gaye. Uske ghar pahuchne ke bad mai uske ghar ko dekhta rah gaya. Maine jaisa soch rakha tha, us se bilkul ulta uska ghar tha.
Use ghar kahna hi galat tha. Wo kisi bungalow se kam nahi tha. Uske mukable me riya raaj ka ghar bhi kuch nahi tha. Us bungalow ke main gate me taala laga hua tha. Ajay ne taxi se utar kar taala khola aur hum andar pahuche.
Ghar ke andar ka bhi wahi haal tha. Dekhne se kahi se bhi nahi lag raha tha ki, wo kisi taxi wale ka ghar hai. Balki aisa lag raha tha. Jaise ki mai kisi businessman ke ghar aa gaya hu.
Mere man me is sab ko janne ki jigyasha to huyi thi. Magar us samay mere andar kisi baat ko samajhne ki takat nahi thi. Mai sirf akelapan chahta tha. Jiski vajah se mai ajay ke ghar aaya tha.
Ajay ne mujhe mera kamra dikhaya aur mujhse fresh ho jaane ko kaha. Mai fresh hone chala gaya. Mai jab fresh hokar aaya to ajay ek trolley dakelte huye mere kamre me le aaya.
Us trolley me ek old monk rum ki bottle, soda aur dry fruit the. Usne trolley ko mere bed ke samne lakar khada kar diya. Fir usne almari se ek night suit nikala aur mujhe dete huye kaha.
Ajay bola "tum chaho to ye night sute pahan sakte ho. Tum shayad pahli baar pi rahe ho. Isliye tumhare liye ye brand laya hu. Tumhe yadi ye brand pasnd na aaye to tum bhahar se apni pasand ka brand le sakte ho. Tum jitni chahe utni pi sakte ho. Meri taraf se tumhe koi rok nahi hai. Mai tumhe disturb karne bhi nahi aauga. Bas meri tumse ek request hai.”
Mai bola “kya.”
Ajay bola “tum is samay bahut upset lag rahe ho. Isliye sharab pikar apne gam ko bhulana chahte ho. Lekin sharab peene ke bad kya hota hai. Shayad tum is baat ko nahi jante. Sharab ke nashe me aksar insan wo sab kar baithta hai. Jo wo kabhi karna nahi chahta.”
“Mai nahi chahta ki tumhare sath bhi aisa hi kuch ho. Ya fir tum sharab ke nashe me kisi ko koi ulta sidha call kar baitho. Isliye yadi tum bura na mano to apna mobile mujhe de do. Jis se aisa kuch hone se bacha ja sake.”
Mujhe ajay ki is baat me sachchai najar aayi. Lekin mujhe apne upar pura viswas tha. Lekin us viswas se jyada mujhe apne mobile se lagav tha. Kyoki mere mobile me keerti ke msg aur uski photo thi. Jis vajah se mai chah kar bhi apne mobile ko kisi ke hawale nahi kar sakta tha. Maine ajay ko talte huye kaha.
Mai bola “tum galat soch rahe ho yaar. Mai kisi gam ko bhulane ke liye sharab nahi pi raha. Mai to sirf apni thakan mitane aur nind puri karne ke liye sharab peena chahta hu. Isliye jaisa tum soch rahe ho. Waisa kuch bhi nahi hoga.”
“Mujhe apna mobile tumhe dene me koi pareshani nahi hai. Lekin isme meri jaan ki tasveer hai. Jise mai ek pal ke liye bhi khud se door nahi kar sakta. Tum kisi baat ki chinta mat karo. Mai ek do peg lekar so jauga.”
Meri baat sunkar ajay samajh gaya ki, mai apna gam use batana nahi chahta hu. Wo muskurate huye, kamre se bahar nikal gaya. Uske jate hi maine darwaja band kiya aur apne kapde badle.
Ab mai har tarah se aajad tha. Mai sharab ke nashe me keerti ki bewafai ko bhula dena chahta tha. Maine time dekha to 8:30 baj chuke the. Mai aakar bistar par tik kar baith gaya.
Maine mobile me keerti ka photo nikala aur use dekhne laga. Kal tak jis photo ko dekh kar mere chehre par muskurahat aa jaati thi. Aaj usi photo ko dekh kar meri aankhon se aansu bahne lage aur mere dil ka dard aah bankar gunjne laga.
Dil Aur Dimag Ko Ro Luga Aah Kar Luga.
Tumhare Ishq Me Sab Kuch Tabah Kar Luga.
Agar Mujhe Na Mili Tum, Tumhare Sar Ki Kasam.
Mai Apni Saari Jawani Tabah Kar Luga.
Tumhare Ishq Me Sab Kuch Tabah Kar Luga.
Agar Mujhe Na Mili Tum, Tumhare Sar Ki Kasam.
Mai Apni Saari Jawani Tabah Kar Luga.
