Ko To Rok Lo {Update - 233}
____________________________
Ye kah kar chhoti maa apni almari se kuch nikalne chali gayi. Mai unke bed par aakar baith gaya aur unke wo chij dikhane ka intejar karne laga. Unki baton se mujhe samajh me aa gaya tha ki, ab wo mujhse bilkul najaj nahi hai.
Unka acha mood dekh kar mujhe bhi bahut khushi ho rahi thi. Waise to ye kamra papa aur chhoti maa dono ka tha. Lekin mere liye ye kamra sirf meri chhoti maa ka tha.
Mujhe apne kamre se jyada shukun ami nimi aur chhoti maa ke kamre me mila karta tha. Isliye kisi pareshani ya tanav ke samay par mai in dono me se hi kisi ek ke kamre ki sharan me chala jata tha.
Jaha ami nimi ke kamre me unki pyari pyari baten mere tanav ko kam kar deti thi. Wahi chhoti maa ke kamre me unka pyar aur dular mere tanav ko khatam kar diya karta tha.
Abhi mai is kamre se jude shukun ke baare me soch hi raha tha ki, tabhi chhoti maa mere pas aakar baith gayi. Un ne bade pyar se mere sar par hath fera aur fir mere hath me ek tasveer thama di.
Mai gaur se us tasveer ko dekhne laga. Mere sath sath chhoti maa khud bhi us tasveer ko dekh rahi thi. Us tasveer ko dekhte hi, mere chehre par khud-ba-khud muskurahat aa gayi.
Ye meri mummy ki photo thi. Waise to mujhe meri mummy ki koi photo dekhe barso ho gaye the aur unhe pahchan pana mere liye aasan nahi tha. Fir bhi mai is photo ko dekhte hi, mummy ko faurna pahchan gaya tha.
Kyoki mai bachpan me is photo ko bahut dekha karta tha au rise dekhte hi, mere bachpan ki yaad taja ho gayi thi. Maine mummy ki tasveer ko gaur se dekhte huye chhoti maa se kaha.
Mai bola “chhoti maa, mummy is tasveer me kitni pyari lag rahi hai na.”
Chhoti maa boli “haan, didi is tasveer me bahut pyari lag rahi hai aur wo hakikat me bhi itni hi pyari thi.”
Chhoti maa ki ye baat sunkar, meri muskurahat aur bhi gahri ho gayi. Mujhe apni mummy par bahut pyar aa raha tha. Maine pyar se unki tasveer ko chumte huye chhoti maa se puchha.
Mai bola “chhoti maa, ye tasveer aapko kaha mili. Maine is tasveer ko bahut miss kiya hai.”
Chhoti maa boli “ye tasveer mere pas hi thi. Maine hi ise tujhse chhupaya tha.”
Chhoti maa ki ye baat sunkar, mai hairani se unki taraf dekhne laga. Un ne meri is hairani ko door karte huye kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “tu bachpan me is tasveer ko dekh kar bahut dukhi ho jata tha aur apni mummy ko yaad karke udas raha karta tha. Mujhse tera apni mummy ko yaad karke rona nahi dekha jata tha.”
“Isliye tujhe teri mummy ki yaad dilane wali har chij ko maine teri chori se tujhse chhupa kar, apne pas sambhal kar rakh liya tha. Unhi sab chijon me se ek ye tasveer bhi hai.”
Chhoti maa ki ye baat bilkul sahi thi. Chhoti maa mujhe bahut pyar karne lagi thi. Lekin iske bad bhi mai akele me apni mummy ki tasveer dekh kar, unki kami ko mehsus karke roya karta tha.
Chhoti maa is baare me mujhe bahut samjhati thi. Unke samjhane par mai kuch samay ke liye unki baat samajh jata tha. Lekin akele me meri mummy ki tasveer me mujhe unki kami ka aehsas kara kar mujhse rula diya karti thi.
Fir achanak hi ek din mere kamre se meri mummy ki ye tasveer kahi gayab ho gayi. Us din mai is baat ke liye bahut roya tha. Us din chhoti maa mujhe apne seene se laga kar hi soyi thi.
Us samay mai chhoti maa ki baton se bahal gaya tha. Fir dhire dhire meri mummy ki yadon ki jagah chhoti maa ke pyar ne mere dil me ghar kar liya aur fir ami nimi ke aa jaane se mai apni mummy ko puri tarah se bhool gaya tha.
Lekin aaj itne saalon bad, ek baar fir se apni mummy ki tasveer ko apne samne pakar meri purani yaden taja ho gayi thi aur mujhe mummy ki kami bahut jyada akharne lagi thi.
Na chahte huye bhi, mummy ko yaad karke meri aankhon me aansu aa gaye aur meri aankhne aansuon se bhigne lagi. Chhoti maa ne meri aankhon me aansu dekhe to, mere aasnsuon ko ponchhte huye kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “bas isi vajah se maine is tasveer ko tujhse chhupa kar rakha tha. Jaane wale to hamesha ke liye door chale jate hai. Lekin humare rone ke liye apni yaden chhod jate hai.”
“Tu us samay bahut chhota tha aur mai tujhe rota hua nahi dekh sakti thi. Isliye mujhe ye sab karna pada tha. Lekin mai ye nahi janti thi ki, tu apni mummy ko is kadar bhool jayega ki, tujhe unka chehra hi yaad nahi rahega.”
“Yaha tak ki jab teri judwa bahan priya apni mummy ka chehra liye tere samne aayi. Tab bhi tujhe is baat ka aehsas nahi hua ki, uski shakal teri mummy se bahut kuch milti hai.”
“Maine ye sab sirf teri bhalai ke liye kiya tha. Lekin aaj na jaane kyo mujhe is baat ka afsos ho raha hai ki, mujhe ye sab nahi karna chahiye tha. Mujhe teri mummy ki tasveer ko tujhse door nahi karna chahiye tha.”
“Yadi maine teri mummy ki tasveer ko tujhse door nahi kiya hota to, priya ko apne samne dekh kar, tere man ek baar ye khayal jarur aaya hota ki, uski shakal teri mummy se bahut milti hai.”
Itna bol kar chhoti maa chup ho gayi. Lekin unhe is baat ke liye afsos karte dekh kar, maine chhoti maa se kaha.
Mai bola “chhoti maa, aapko kisi baat ke liye afsos karne ki jarurat nahi hai. Mummy jab ye duniya chhod kar gayi thi. Tab mai bahut chhota tha. Isliye mere dimag me unke chehre ki dhundhli si hi tasveer hai.”
“Isliye priya ko apne samne dekh kar bhi mujhe kabhi is baat ka aehsas nahi hua tha ki, uski shakal mummy se milti hai. Lekin iska matlab ye to nahi hai ki, mai mummy ko bhool gaya hu.”
“Mai us samay chhota jarur tha. Lekin aaj bhi mujhe mummy ki bahut si baten yaad hai. Bas unka chehra sahi se yaad nahi tha. Magar aaj is tasveer ko dekh kar ek baar fir mummy ka chehra mere dil me sama gaya hai.”
“Mai mummy ko aaj bhi bahut miss karta hu. Lekin ye baat bhi sach hai ki, jab mujhse koi meri maa ke baare me puchhta hai to, meri aankhon ke samne sirf aapka hi chehra aata hai.”
“Aap duniya ki sabse achi maa hai aur ye meri khushnashibi hai hai ki, aap meri maa hai. Aap kabhi koi galti kar hi nahi sakti hai. Isliye aapko kabhi kisi baat ke liye mujhe ya kisi aur ko safayi dene ki koi jarurat nahi hai.”
“Aapne mummy ki tasveer ya unki chijon ko mujhse chhupa kar kuch bhi galat nahi kiya tha. Aapne jo bhi kiya tha. Apne bete ki bhalai ke liye kiya tha aur ek maa ko apne bachchon ki bhalai ke liye kuch bhi karne ka pura haq hai.”
Meri ye baat sunkar, chhoti maa ke chehre par muskurahat aa gayi aur un ne mere sar par hath ferte huye kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “jab tu itna sab kuch samajhta hai to, fir subah ami nimi ki baat ko lekar mujhse itni bahas kyo kar raha tha.”
Mai bola “chhoti maa, mai aapki subah ki baton se samajh gaya tha ki, aap ami nimi par, ami ki priya ko lekar ki gayi harkaton ki vajah se gussa kar rahi hai. Lekin jab aapne kaha ki, inhe yadi mere ghar me rahna hai to, mere hisab se hi chalna hoga.”
“Tab mujhe papa ki aapko kahi gayi baat yaad aa gayi. Un ne bhi aapse aisi hi kuch baat kahi thi. Lekin tab mai chhota tha aur chah kar bhi papa ki is baat ka koi virodh nahi kar paya tha.”
“Magar aaj jab maine aapko bhi papa ki tarah ye hi baat kahte dekha to, mai apne aapko is baat ka virodh karne se nahi rok paya aur mai aapke sath badtamizi karne ki galti kar gaya.”
Meri ye baat sunkar, chhoti maa ne thoda gambhir hote huye kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “dekh, mai manti hu ki, maine tere papa ki tarah hi ami nimi se ye baat ki thi. Lekin hum dono ke in baton ko karne ke pichhe chhupi vajah me bahut jyada antar hai.”
“Tere papa ne mujhse apni sharton par apne ghar me rahne ki jo baat kahi thi. Wo un ne sirf apni galtiyon par parda dalne ke liye kahi thi. Lekin mai ami nimi se ye baat sirf tum sabki bhalai ke liye kah rahi thi.”
“Mujhe richa didi ne tum logon ke Mumbai pahuchne ke pahle hi, ami ki priya ko apni bahan manne se inkar karne wali harkat ke baare me bata diya tha. Lekin vaani ne us samay mujhe shant rahne ko bol diya tha.”
“Isliye tum logon ke Mumbai aane par maine ami se is baare me koi baat nahi ki thi. Magar usne Mumbai me hi mere upar priya ki tarafdari karne ka iljam laga diya tha. Tab bhi mai vaani ke kahne par chup rah gayi thi.”
“Lekin mai ami ki in harkaton ko khamoshi se to dekh nahi sakti thi. Kyoki aaj jaise hum logon ko is baat ka pata chala hai ki, priya is ghar ki beti hai. Waise hi aaj nahi to kal priya ko bhi is baat ka pata chalna hai ki, wo is ghar ki beti hai.”
“Tab shayad priya ka is ghar me aane ka bhi rasta khul jaye. Lekin tab ami ki ye harkaten priya ke liye pareshani ka sabab ban sakti hai aur mai apne bachchon ke bich kisi tarah ka bhed dekhna nahi chahti hu.”
“Bas isliye mai aaj subah ami nimi ke sath itni sakhti se pesh aayi thi. Taki ami ki harkaton par abhi se lagam lagayi ja sake. Lekin tu bich me aa gaya aur mera saara gussa tujh par utar gaya.”
Keerti mujhe ami ki chhoti maa ke sath ki gayi harkate ke baare me pahle hi bata chuki thi. Isliye maine chhoti maa ki is baat ko sunkar, thoda gambhir hote huye kaha.
Mai bola “chhoti maa, aapki ye baat sahi hai. Mai bhi ami ke man me priya ko lekar pal rahi is galatfahmi se pareshan hu. Lekin mujhe aapka ami ke sath is tarah sakhti se pesh aana sahi nahi lag raha hai.”
“Ami abhi bachchi hai aur aapki sakhti ka us par bura asar bhi pad sakta hai. Hume ami ko pyar se samjhana chahiye. Mujhe ummid hai ki, wo humare pyar se samjhane se jarur humari baat ko samajh jayegi.”
Meri is baat ko sunkar, chhoti maa ne muskurate huye kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “tujhe kya lagta hai ki, maine ya kisi aur ne ami ko pyar se samjhane ki koi koshish nahi ki aur maine achanak hi uske sath sakhti se pesh aane ka faisla le liya hai.”
“Jaisa tu soch raha hai, waisa kuch bhi nahi hai. Hum jab ami nimi ke sath Mumbai se yaha aaye the. Tab richa didi ne ami ko priya ke hosh me aane par uske sath pyar se pesh aane ke baare me samjhaya tha.”
“Lekin usne richa didi ke muh par hi saaf kah diya tha ki, keerti aur vaani ke alawa koi bhi uski didi nahi hai. Uski is baat par vaani ne use samjhana chaha to, usne vaani ko aisa jabab diya ki, vaani bhi uska muh dekhti rah gayi thi.”
Chhoti maa ki ye baat sunkar, mai hairan huye bina rah saka. Kyoki sirf keerti aur vaani didi ko hi apni didi manne wali baat to, ami mere samne bhi Mumbai jaane ke pahle bol chuki thi.
Lekin ami ke vaani didi ko palat kar jabab dene wali baat mujhe keerti ne nahi batayi thi aur mujhe ye baat hajam bhi nahi ho rahi thi. Isliye maine chaukte huye chhoti maa se puchha.
Mai bola “chhoti maa, ami ne vaani didi ko is baare me kya jabab diya tha.”
Chhoti maa boli “vaani ne jab tumhari pyari ammo ko richa didi se ye kahte suna ki, vaani aur keerti ke siwa koi uski didi nahi hai to, vaani ne use samjhate huye kaha ki, wo (vaani) aur keerti to punnu ki door ki bahan hai.”
“Lekin priya punnu ki judwa bahan hai. Isliye use priya ke sath mil kar rahna chahiye. Ye baat sunkar to ami ke tevar hi badal gaye aur wo ulta vaani ke upar hi bhadak gayi.”
“Usne vaani ke sath badtamizi karte huye kaha ki, didi aap priya ko jabardasti humari didi banane ki koshish mat kijiye. Priya bhaiya ki judwa bahan ho ya na ho. Lekin wo humari didi kabhi bhi nahi ban sakti.”
“Na hi hum log kabhi priya ko apne ghar me aane dege. Aapne priya ko dudne ke liye apni naukri to chhod hi di hai. Ab aap khud bhi Mumbai me hi jakar rahne lagiye.”
“Ami ki ye baat sunkar, mai use marne ko huyi. Lekin vaani ne ek baar fir se mujhe aisa karne se rok diya tha. Lekin mai ami ki is harkat ko chah kar bhi maaf nahi kar payi thi aur isi vajah se ami se naraj thi.”
Itna bol kar chhoti maa chup ho gayi. Lekin mujhe abhi bhi chhoti maa ki is baat par yakin nahi aa raha tha. Mai soch bhi nahi sakta tha ki, ami kabhi vaani didi ke sath itni jyada badtamizi se baat kar sakti hai.
Ami ne saaf saaf vaani didi ki beijjati karke rakh di thi. Yahi baat yadi maine ya mere bap ne vaani didi se kahi hoti to, hume iska anjam bhi turant dekhne ko mil gaya hota.
Mai ami nimi se bahut pyar karta tha aur kabhi un par gussa nahi karta tha. Lekin chhoti maa ki ye baat sunne ke bad, ab mujhe bhi ami ki is hakat par gussa aane laga tha.
Mujhe abhi bhi samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, ami aisa kaise kar sakti hai aur vaani didi ami ki itni badi galti ko kaise andekha kar gayi. Mai abhi is baare me soch hi raha tha ki, tabhi chhoti maa ne mujhe tokte huye kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “kya hua.? Kya soch raha hai. Kya tujhe meri is baat par yakin nahi hai.”
Mai bola “nahi chhoti maa, aisi baat nahi hai. Mai to ye soch raha tha ki, ami vaani didi se itni badi baat kar bhi kaise sakti hai. Uske man me ye soch aayi bhi to, kaise aayi.”
Is se pahle ki chhoti maa mujhe meri is baat ka koi jabab de pati. Us se pahle hi vaani didi kamre me aa gayi. Un ne mujhe chhoti maa ke sath kisi baat me uljhe dekha to, mujhse kaha.
Vaani didi boli “hum sab bahar baithe tere mausi ko lekar aane ka intejar kar rahe hai aur tu yaha aaram se baith baten kar raha hai.”
Lekin maine vaani didi ki is baat ko ansuna karke, ulte unse hi sawal karte huye kaha.
Mai bola “didi, aapne ami ki itni badi galti ko andekha kaise kar diya. Yadi aap use kuch nahi kah sakti thi to, mujhe batana tha. Mai us ami ki bachchi ko aapke sath ki gayi is badtamizi ka ache se sabak sikhata.”
Meri ye baat sunkar, vaani didi chhoti maa ki taraf dekhne lagi. Chhoti maa ne unhe bataya ki, un ne mujhe ami ki harkat ke baare me bata diya. Jise sunne ke bad vaani didi ne muskura kar mere pas baithte huye kaha.
Vaani didi boli “acha chal, maan le ki maine tujhe ye baat bata di hoti to, tu ami ko kya sabak sikhata.”
Mai bola “mai us ami ki bachchi ko do lagata aur us se is baat ke liye aapse maafi mangne ko kahta.”
Meri is baat ko sunkar, vaani didi ne pyar se mere sar par chapat laga di. Lekin unki ye pyar ki chapat bhi mujhe jor se hi lagti thi. Aisa hi abhi bhi hua. Vaani didi ki chapat lagte hi, mai apne sar par hath ferne laga.
Ye dekh kar vaani didi mere sar ko sahlane lagi. Jab maine kaha ki, mujhe kuch nahi hua hai. Tab un ne muskurate huye kaha.
Vaani didi boli “tu ami ko do lagane ki baat kar raha hai. Tu mujhe kabhi ami nimi par gusse me chilla kar hi dikha de. Mai maan jaugi ki, tu unhe sabak sikha sakta hai.”
Vaani didi ki ye baat jara bhi galat nahi thi. Mai chah kar bhi kabhi un par gussa nahi kar sakta tha. Fir bhi maine ami ki us harkat par thoda narajgi jahir karte huye kaha.
Mai bola “aap kuch bhi kaho didi, lekin ami ki is harkat se mujhe bahut dukh pahucha hai. Wo priya ko pasand nahi karti hai to, na kare. Magar use aapse is tarah se badtamizi nahi karna chahiye tha. Ami ki is nadani ke liye mai aapse maafi manta hu.”
Vaani didi boli “mere bhai, tumhe ami ki galti ke liye maafi mangne ki jarurat nahi hai aur na hi ami ki harkat se dukhi hone ki jarurat hai. Tumhe bas is samay ami ke man ki stithi ko samajhne ki jarurat hai.”
“Ami ki us harkat par mujhe bhi us par bahut gussa aaya tha. Lekin mai uske dil ka dar samajh gayi thi. Isliye maine us par koi gussa nahi kiya tha aur mausi ko bhi us par gussa karne se rok diya tha.”
“Ami is samay sirf is baat se dari huyi hai ki, priya tumhari judwa bahan hai. Yadi priya is ghar me aa gayi to, fir wo hi tumhare sabse karib ho jayegi aur ami nimi tumse door ho jayegi.”
“Ami ko apne aur nimi ke hisse ka pyar priya ke aane se batta hua najar aa raha hai. Isliye wo priya ko jara bhi pasand nahi kar rahi hai aur man hi man priya se nafrat bhi karne lagi hai.”
Vaani didi ki ye baat sunkar, maine vaani didi se kaha.
Mai bola “didi, mai ami ko ye baat samjhane ki koshish karuga. Mere samjhane se wo jarur is baat ko samjhne ki koshish karegi.”
Vaani didi boli “nahi, ami ko samjhane se kuch nahi hoga. Mai tumhe uske man ka dar pahle hi bata chuki hu. Jo bhi use samjhata hai, wo use hi apna dushman samajhne lagti hai.”
“Usne mausi aur mujhse bhi isi vajah se badtamizi ki thi. Ami ke dil me priya ke liye jo nafrat hai, wo uske sath sakhti karne se ya use priya ke baare me samjhane se nahi mit sakti hai.”
“Ami ke dil se is nafrat ko mitane ke liye hume ami ke dil me priya ke liye pyar aur apnapan jagana hoga. Is kaam me thoda samay lag sakta hai. Isliye hume thoda sabar se kaam lena hoga.”
“Abhi ami ne tumhare sath mumbai jaane ki baat sirf tumhe priya se door rakhne ke liye kahi thi. Lekin maine use Mumbai jaane ki ijajat isliye di hai. Taki isi bahane use priya ke karib laya ja sake.”
Vaani didi ki ye baat sunkar, mai ami ke baare me sochne laga. Tabhi keerti hume khane ke liye bulane aa gayi. Usne humse khana khane chalne ki baat kahi aur wapas jaane lagi.
Lekin tabhi uski najar meri god me rakhi mummy ki tasveer par padi aur wo ruk kar use gaur se dekhne lagi. Kuch der tasveer ko gaur se dekhne ke bad, usne vaani didi se kaha.
Keerti boli “didi, ye badi mausi ki tasveer hai na.”
Vaani didi boli “haan, ye purnima mausi ki hi tasveer hai.”
Vaani didi ki ye baat sunkar keerti ne chahakte huye kaha.
Keerti boli “didi, ye to bilkul priya jaisi dikhti hai.”
Keerti ki is baat par vaani didi ne muskurate huye kaha.
Vaani didi boli “pagal, ye priya jaisi nahi dikhti hai. Balki priya inke jaisi dikhti hai.”
Iske bad keerti ki vaani didi se thodi bahut isi baare me baat huyi aur fir chhoti maa ne wo tasveer wapas apni almari me rakh di. Iske bad hum sab khana khane ke liye bahar aa gaye.
Hum sab ne ek sath khana khaya aur khane ke bad sab baten karne lage. Tabhi mujhe yaad aaya ki, aaj Monday hai. Is baat ke yaad aate hi, mai aaj ka akhbaar utha kar dekhne laga.
Keerti ne mujhe aaj ka akhbaar dekhte dekha to, wo mere pas aa gayi aur usne mujhe tokte huye kaha.
Keerti boli “aaj bhi Tripti ki rachna nahi chhapi hai. Mai pahle hi isme dekh chuki hu.”
Keerti ki ye baat sunkar, mai kuch udas sa ho gaya. Mujhe is baat se udas hote dekh kar, keerti ne kaha.
Keerti boli “isme itna jyada udas hone ki kya baat hai. Are wo abhi abhi bimari se uthi hai. Isliye ho sakta hai ki, abhi wo kuch likh na payi ho. Tum chaho to, nikki se is baare me baat kar sakte ho.”
Mujhe bhi keerti ki ye baat sahi lagi aur maine us se kaha.
Mai bola “tune ye acha yaad dilaya. Kal priya ki vajah se mai nikki se baat nahi kar paya tha. Nikki bhi is baat se naraj hogi. Mai abhi us se baat kar leta hu.”
Keerti se itna bolne ke bad maine nikki ko call laga diya. Mere call jaane ke thodi hi der bad nikki ne call utha liya. Usne call uthate hi, mujhse shikayat karte huye kaha.
Nikki boli “tumhari ye aadat achi nahi hai. Tum apne ghar pahuchte hi mujhe bilkul bhool jate ho. Kam se kam ek call karke ye to bata hi sakte the ki, tum ache se ghar pahuch gaye ho.”
Mai bola “aisi baat nahi hai. Mai tumhe call karna chahta tha. Lekin ghar aate hi, mai chanda mausi ko dekhne keerti ke ghar chala gaya tha. Fir waha se raat ko 11:30 baje ke bad hi ghar wapas aaya. Isliye mai tumhe call nahi kar paya.”
Nikki boli “jyada bahane banane ki jarurat nahi hai. Mujhe sab pata hai ki, kal tumne yaha kis kis baat ki hai. Tumne kal aman bhaiya ke ghar sab se baat ki hai. Mujhe shikha didi ne sab bata diya hai.”
“Ye hi nahi, tumne kal raat ko 12 baje ke bad priya ko bhi call laga kar, us se baat ki hai. Tumhe sabse baat karne ka samay mil gaya. Bas ek mujhse baat karne ke liye tumhare pas samay nahi hai.”
Mai bola “yaar, mai tumhe kaise samjhau. Mai bilkul sach kah raha hu. Mujhe sach me raat ko 12 baje ke pahle samay nahi mil paya tha. Shikha didi logon se to, meri sirf barkha didi ki vajah se baat ho gayi thi.”
“Warna kal meri waha par bhi kisi se baat nahi ho pati. Haan aaj yadi tumhe school na jana hota to, mai jarur tumhe raat ko 12 baje ke bad call karke tumse baat kar leta.”
“Lekin aaj tumhara school hone ki vajah se maine tumhe raat ko call laga kar pareshan karna thik nahi samjha tha. Magar kal meri tumse baat na ho pane me thodi si galti priya ki bhi hai.”
Meri ye baat sunkar, nikki ne thoda chaukte huye kaha.
Nikki boli “kyo priya ne aisa kya kiya. Jis vajah se tum mujhse baat nahi kar paye.”
Mai bola “priya mere dusre mobile par call laga rahi thi aur wo mobile mai ghar par hi bhool gaya tha. Usne mere is mobile par koi bhi call nahi lagaya. Yadi usne mere is mobile par call lagaya hota to, meri usi samay uske sath sath tumse bhi baat ho gayi hoti.”
Meri ye baat sunkar, nikki ne priya ke upar khurrate huye kaha.
Nikki boli “kamini, tumhare dusre mobile par call laga rahi thi aur mujhse kah rahi thi ki, tum uska call nahi utha rahe ho. Uski yahi baat sunkar, maine tumhe call nahi lagaya tha.”
“Yadi mujhe uski is harkat ke baare me jara bhi pata hota to, mai tumhe jarur call laga leti. Usne kal mujhe acha bevkuf banaya. Tum ruko mai abhi ghar jakar uski ache se khabar leti hu.”
Nikki ke abhi ghar me na hone ki baat sunkar, maine us se puchha.
Mai bola “kya abhi tum ghar me nahi ho.”
Nikki boli “nahi, abhi mai uncle, raj, riya aur nitika ke sath priya ke liye car lene aayi hu.”
Nikki ki ye baat sunkar maine chaukte huye kaha.
Mai bola “lekin uncle achanak priya ke liye car kyo le rahe hai.”
Nikki boli “wo kal hum sab jab tumhe chhod kar ghar wapas aaye to, priya thakan hone ki baat kah kar apne kamre me aaram karne chali gayi. Ye dekh kar raj ne uncle se kaha ki, wo to apni car lekar office chale jate hai.”
“Lekin priya ki achanak tabiyat kharab ho jaane aur ghar me koi dusri gaadi na hone ki vajah se priya ko jaldi hospital le jaane me bahut takleef hoti hai. Isliye hume ek car aur le leni chaiye.”
“Is par uncle ne raj se kaha ki, tum khud ke istemal ke liye car lena chahte ho aur priya ki aad le rahe ho. Uncle ki ye baat sunkar raj ne kaha ki, wo sirf priya ke liye car lena chahta hai.”
“Taki bimari ki is halat me priya ko kahi aane jaane me ya doctor ke yaha aane jaane me koi takleef na ho. Yadi priya nahi chahegi to, wo car ko hath bhi nahi lagayega. Aap chahe to priya ki car ke liye ek driver bhi rakh sakte hai.”
“Wo sirf jarurat ke samay par hi priya ki car ko hath lagayega. Raj ki is baat par hum sabne bhi uski haan me haan milayi. Jiske bad uncle ne hum sabki baat maan kar priya ke liye car lene ka faisla kar liya.”
“Ye baat abhi priya ko malum nahi hai. Uncle ne iske liye aaj hum sabko apne office bulaya tha. Abhi hum uncle ke sath usi Audi car showroom me aaye hai. Jaha se humne shikha didi ke liye car uthayi thi.”
Nikki ki ye baat sunkar maine khush hote huye kaha.
Mai bola “ye to bahut achi baat hai. Lekin tum log kis color ki car le rahe ho.”
Nikki boli “hum wo hi car aur wo hi color le rahe hai. Jo humne shikha didi ke liye liya tha.”
Mai bola “wo car to thik hai. Lekin priya ko us samay red color se jyada black color pasand aaya tha. Isliye mujhe lagta hai ki, priya ke liye black color ki hi car lena chahiye.”
Nikki boli “ek min, tum is baare me khud hi raj se baat kar lo. Mai raj ko phone deti hu.”
Ye kahte huye nikki raj ke pas chali gayi. Kuch der bad, phone par raj ki aawaj aayi to, mai use priya ko car ka black color pasand hone wali baat batane laga. Meri baat sunne ke bad raj ne kaha ki, wo mujhse thodi der bad baat karta hai.
Itna kah kar usne wapas nikki ko mobile de diya. Mai nikki se baat kar hi raha tha ki, tabhi riya uske pas aa gayi. Nikki ne riya se baat karne ki baat kah kar riya ko phone de diya.
Nikki ki tarah riya bhi kal us se baat na karne ki baat ko lekar mujhse jhagda karne lagi. Mai use bhi wahi safayi dene laga. Jo maine nikki ko di thi. Kuch der baat karne ke bad riya ne wapas nikki ko phone de diya.
Mai nikki se baat karne laga. Kuch der bat raj ne aakar bataya ki, usne car ka black color final kar diya hai. Iske bad meri nikki se baat chalti rahi. Kuch der bad nikki ne ghar pahuchne ke bad baat karne ki baat kah kar call rakh diya.
Nikki ke call rakhne ke bad, mai chhoti maa logon ko uncle ki priya ke liye car lene wali baat batane laga. Abhi mai chhoti maa ko ye baat bata hi raha tha ki, tabhi vaani didi ka mobile bajne laga.
Vaani didi ne mujhe chup rahne ka ishara karte huye kaha ki, priya ka call aa raha hai. Vaani didi ki ye baat sunkar, mere sath sath baki sab bhi chauke bina na rah sake.
Mujhe samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, priya ne vaani didi ko call kyo lagaya hai. Usne abhi tak chhoti maa ya keerti ko koi call nahi kiya tha. Aise me uske sidhe vaani didi ko call karne wali baat mujhe kuch hajam nahi ho rahi thi.
