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 bad 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.
Waise bhi humare yaha ke logon me priya ki sabse jyada chhoti maa se patti thi. Yadi usne chhoti maa ko call lagaya hota to, mujhe kuch bhi ajib nahi lagta. Lekin uska vaani didi ko call lagana mujhe bahut ajib lag raha tha.
Mai abhi priya ki isi harkat me uljha hua tha ki, vaani didi ne priya ka call uthate huye kaha.
Vaani didi boli “haan priya bolo, tumhe aaj achanak meri yaad kaise aa gayi.”
Priya boli “……………” (didi, wo nikki ne shikha didi ko call lagaya tha. Unhi se pata chala ki, aap …………………..)
Vaani didi boli “haan priya, tumne bahut sahi suna hai. Lekin maine unhe ye baat kisi ko bhi batane se mana kiya tha.”
Priya boli “…………..” (didi, unne hume ye baat nahi batayi hai. Wo to humne nashte ke samay shikha didi ko call kiya tha. Isliye jab aman bhaiya nisha bhabhi ko ye baat bata rahe the to, humne bhi unki baat sun li thi.)
Vaani didi boli “chalo koi baat nahi hai. Lekin abhi tum ye baat kisi ko mat batana.”
Priya boli “……………” (didi, mai ye baat kisi ko nahi bataugi. Maine to aapko sirf isliye call lagaya hai. Kyoki humare …………………….…………………)
Vaani didi boli “ye to bahut achi baat hai. Lekin abhi baat karne ki jarurat nahi hai. Mai aaj raat ko Mumbai aa rahi hu. Mai kal kisi samay tumse mil kar is baare me baat karti hu.”
Priya boli “……………” (didi, ye to bahut achi baat hai. Mai raj bhaiya ko bol dugi. Wo aapko airport lene aa jayege.)
Vaani didi boli “nahi priya, iski jarurat nahi hai. Mai raat ko do baje waha pahuchugi. Isliye kisi ko pareshan hone ki jarurat nahi hai.”
Priya boli “……………” (didi, isme parehshani wali kya baat hai. Yadi aap mere shahar me aa rahi hai to, aapko humare ghar hi rukna padega.)
Vaani didi boli “priya samjha karo, mai apne kaam ke silsile me waha aa rahi hu aur mere aane jaane ka bhi koi samay nahi hai. Isliye is baar mujhe is baat ke liye maaf karo. Lekin agli baar jarur mai tumhare ghar me rukugi.”
Priya boli “…………….” (thik hai didi, mai kal aapke aane ka intejar karugi.)
Vaani didi boli “ok priya, mai kal waha pahuch kar tumse milti hu. Ab mai rakhti hu.”
Priya se itni baat karne ke bad, vaani didi ne call rakh diya. Hume priya ki baat sunayi nahi de rahi thi. Isliye hume samajh me nahi aaya ki usne vaani didi se kya baat ki hai.
Lekin vaani didi ki baton se itna jarur samajh me aa gaya tha ki, wo aaj raat ko Mumbai jaane wali hai. Unke achanak Mumbai jaane wali baat ne mere sath sath baki sabko bhi hairani me daal diya tha.
Wahi vaani didi ko priya se baat karte dekh kar ami pure samay unhe ghoor kar dekh rahi thi. Vaani didi ne bhi ami ki is harkat par gaur kar liya tha. Isliye un ne priya ka call rakhte hi, ami ko aankh dikhate huye kaha.
Vaani didi boli “tu mujhe is tarah se ghoor kar kyo dekh rahi hai. Kya mujhe kha jayegi.”
Vaani didi ki is baat ko sunkar, ami se unki baat ka koi bhi jabab dete nahi bana aur wo yaha waha dekhne lagi. Lekin nimi ko ami aur vaani didi ki chal rahi is baat chit ka matlab jara bhi samajh me nahi aaya.
Usne vaani didi ke sawal se ami ko pareshan hote dekha to, apni hi dhun me ami ki taraf se vaani didi ki baat ka jabab dete huye kaha.
Nimi boli “didi, aap ho hi itni jyada sundar ki humara dil karta hai, aapko dekhte hi rahe.”
Nimi ki baat sunkar, mere sath sath baki sabke chehre par muskurahat aa gayi. Lekin vaani didi ke Mumbai jaane wali baat ne chhoti maa ko chinta me daal diya tha. Un ne nimi ko daant lagayi aur fir vaani didi se kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “vaani, aaj jo kuch hua hai, uski vajah se mujhe kuch dar sa lag raha hai. Kya aisi halat me tera Mumbai jana jaruri hai.”
Vaani didi boli “mausi, mai aapke is dar ko samajh sakti hu. Lekin itni si baat ko lekar aapko itna darne ki jarurat nahi hai. Aap fikar mat kijiye. Mere yaha na rahne par bhi kahi kuch galat nahi hoga.”
“Mujhe apne parivar ki kab, kis se, kaise suraksha karna hai. Ye mujhe bahut achi tarah se aata hai. Isliye aap apne man ke har dar ko nikal dijiye aur befikar rahiye. Mere rahte kuch bhi bura nahi hoga.”
Vaani didi ki ye baat sunne ke bad, chhoti maa ne kuch nahi kaha. Lekin wo kuch soch me pad gayi thi. Unhe kisi soch me gum dekh kar, vaani didi ne unka dhyan is baat se hatane ke liye unse kaha.
Vaani didi boli “mausi, aapne punnu ke birthday ke liye jo gift mangaya tha. Wo ise de kyo nahi deti hai. Kya use agle saal ke liye bacha kar rakhi hai.”
Vaani didi ki ye baat sunkar, chhoti maa apni soch se bahar nikal aayi. Un ne muskurate huye meri taraf dekha aur fir apne kamre me chali gayi. Thodi der bad wo apne kamre se ek bag lekar wapas aayi.
Un ne muskurate huye wo bag mere hath me thama diya. Mai fauran hi wo bag khol kar dekhne laga. Bag kholte hi, mujhe usme ek laptop najar aaya. Laptop dekhte hi, maine khush hote huye chhoti maa se kaha.
Mai bola “thanks chhoti maa, lekin aap janamdin ke itne din bad mujhe gift kyo de rahi hai.”
Chhoti maa boli “maine tere janamdin me dene ke liye ek computer liya tha. Lekin tab tu Mumbai me tha. Isliye maine wo tere kamre me hi rakhwa diya tha. Magar tere wapas aane ke ek din pahle hi wo computer keerti se toot gaya tha.”
“Isliye tab mai tujhe kuch bhi nahi de payi thi. Mai tujhe dusra computer dene ke baare me soch hi rahi thi ki, tabhi vaani ne computer ki jagah tujhe ek laptop dene ki baat kah di.”
“Mujhe bhi vaani ki ye baat sahi lagi aur maine tere liye ye laptop manga liya. Lekin tujhe ye laptop dene ke pahle hi tere sath wo hadsa ho gaya aur mujhe tujhe ye laptop dene ka samay hi nahi mil paya.”
Chhoti maa ki ye baat sunkar, mai hairani se keerti ki taraf dekhne laga. Itne din me usne ek baar bhi mujhe is baare me kuch nahi bataya tha. Mujhe uski is baat par bahut gussa aa raha tha.
Mujhe apni taraf dekhte pakar keerti sar jhuka kar khadi ho gayi. Chhoti maa ne mujhe keerti ko gusse me ghurte dekha to, un ne mujhe samjhate huye kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “jaane de na, us computer ko tutna tha to, wo toot gaya. Itni si baat ke liye gussa hone ki jarurat nahi hai. Galti to sabse hoti rahti hai.”
Mai bola “chhoti maa, mujhe computer ke tutne ka is par jara bhi gussa nahi hai. Mujhe to is baat par gussa aa raha hai ki, ye itne din se mere sath hai aur isne ek baar bhi mujhse ye baat nahi batayi hai.”
Chhoti maa boli “beta, isme keerti ki koi galti nahi hai. Maine hi keerti aur ami nimi se mana kiya tha ki, jab tak mai tujhe janamdin ka gift nahi de deti hu, tab tak koi bhi is baare me tujhse baat nahi karega.”
Chhoti maa ki baat sunkar, ami ne bhi keerti ka bachaw karte huye kaha.
Ami boli “haan bhaiya, mummy ke mana karne ki vajah se hi hum logon ne abhi tak ye baat aapse nahi batayi thi.”
Ab ami boli thi to, nimi ke chup rahne ka sawal hi paida nahi hota tha. Lekin uski aadat har baat me apna fayda dekhne ki thi aur usne abhi bhi aisa hi kuch karte huye kaha.
Nimi boli “haan bhaiya, ami didi thik kah rahi hai. Humne isi vajah se ye baat aapko nahi batayi thi. Lekin ab to wo computer toot chuka hai aur wo jara bhi aapke kaam ka nahi hai.”
“Magar aap fikar mat kijiye. Hum us computer ko bekar nahi hone dege. Wo computer jab sudhar kar aa jayega to, hum use apne kamre me sambhal kar rakh lege aur usme game khela karege.”
Nimi ki ye baat sunkar ek baar fir sab hasne lage. Nimi ko itni samajh to thi nahi ki, wo sabki is hansi ka matlab samajh sake. Isliye jab usne sabko apni baat par hanste dekha to, wo khud bhi sabke sath hasne lagi.
Ye uski aadat thi ki, jab uski nadani wali baat par koi hansta tha to, use hasne ki vajah samajh me na aane par wo ise apni baat ki shabashi samajh kar wo bhi hasne lagti thi.
Lekin yadi use hasne ki vajah samajh me aa jaye to, wo naraj hokar rone me bhi pal bhar ki der nahi lagati thi. Nimi humare ghar ki aisi chahchahati chidiya thi, jiske chahchahane se ghar me hamesha hansi khushi ka mahaul bana rahta tha.
Neha ko bhi nimi ki baten sunkar, bahut maja aata tha. Usne nimi ki ye baat suni to, nimi ki haan me haan milate huye mujhse kaha.
Neha boli “nimi thik kah rahi hai. Ab wo toota hua computer sudharne ke bad bhi, tumhare koi kaam ka nahi hai. Isliye ab wo nimi ka ho gaya hai. Lekin tum yadi chaho to, apna ye laptop dekar nimi se wo computer wapas le sakte ho.”
Neha ne sirf nimi ka maja lene ke liye ye baat kahi thi aur neha ki baat sunne ke bad, aisa hi kuch hua. Nimi ne jaise hi neha ki ye baat suni to, fauran hi neha ki baat ka samarthan karte huye kaha.
Nimi boli “bhaiya, neha didi thik kah rahi hai. Yadi aapko computer hi pasand hai to, aap laptop hume dekar, humse computer le sakte hai.”
Nimi ki baat sunkar, ek baar fir sabki hansi goonj gayi. Wahi maine pyar se nimi ke sar par hath ferte huye kaha.
Mai bola “meri pagal nimmo, wo computer bhi tera hai aur ye laptop bhi tera hi hai. Tera jab bhi man kare, tu mujhse ye laptop le sakti hai. Kya maine tujhe kabhi kisi chij ke liye mana kiya hai.”
Meri ye baat sunkar, nimi khush ho gayi. Tabhi mujhe paan ki yaad aayi aur maine apni jeb se paan nikal kar chhoti maa ko dete huye kaha.
Mai bola “chhoti maa, mai aapke liye ye meetha paan laya tha.”
Meri baat sunkar, chhoti maa ne pyar se mere gaal par hath fera aur mere hath se paan le liya. Lekin mujhe chhoti maa ko paan dete dekh kar vaani didi ne mujhe tokte huye kaha.
Vaani didi boli “ye mausi ko kis khushi me paan khilaya ja raha hai aur kya tujhe paan leti samay meri yaad nahi aayi thi. Jo tu mausi akele ke liye paan lekar aaya hai.”
Mai bola “didi, wo aaj chhoti maa mujhse naraj thi na aur wo kabhi kabhi meetha paan khati hai. Isliye unka mood sahi karne ke unke liye mai ye meetha paan lekar aaya tha. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki, aap bhi meetha paan khati hai.”
Vaani didi boli “mausi ki tarah mai bhi kabhi kabhi mai paan kha leti hu.”
Vaani didi ki is baat ke jabab me maine kaha.
Mai bola “to didi, aap bhi paan kha lijiye. Mai teen paan lekar aaya tha.”
Meri baat sunkar, vaani didi ne chaukte huye kaha.
Vaani didi boli “tu teen paan kisliye laya tha. Kya ami nimi bhi paan khati hai.”
Mai bola “nahi didi, ami nimi paan nahi khati hai. Chhoti maa unhe kabhi paan khane hi nahi deti hai. Lekin keerti bhi yaha thi na. Ye chhoti maa se jid karke unka aadha paan kha jati hai. Isliye mai iske liye bhi paan tha aur ek paan extra le aaya tha.”
Meri baat sunne ke bad, chhoti maa paan ka pouch khol kar, vaani didi aur keerti ko paan dene lagi. Chhoti maa, vaani didi aur keerti ko paan khate dekh kar neha bhi paan khane ki baat bolne lagi.
Neha ki baat sunkar, vaani didi ne apne paan me se aadha paan neha ko de diya. Ami nimi badi gaur se sabko paan khate dekh rahi thi. Ye dekh kar keerti ne unse puchha.
Keerti boli “ami nimi kya tum dono bhi paan khaogi.”
Ami boli “nahi didi, mummy gussa karegi.”
Keerti boli “nahi, aaj mausi tumhe paan khane ke liye gussa nahi karegi. Tum dono kabhi paan nahi khati ho. Aaj tum dono mere paan me se aadha aadha paan kha lo. Mai mausi ke paan me se aadha paan kha lugi.”
Ye kahte huye keerti ne apne paan me se aadha aadha paan ami nimi ko de diya aur khud paan ke liye chhoti maa ke samne jakar khadi ho gayi. Ye dekh kar maine keerti se kaha.
Mai bola “tujhse chhoti maa ka paan bachane ke liye hi mai itne paan lekar aaya tha. Lekin tu ami nimi ki aad lekar fir se paan ke liye chhoti maa ke samne jakar khadi ho gayi.”
Meri is baat par keerti ne muskurate huye kaha.
Keerti boli “mai kya karu. Mai jab tak mausi ke paan me se aadha paan nahi kha leti hu. Tab tak mera man hi nahi bharta hai.”
Keerti ki baat sunkar, chhoti maa ne muskurate huye apne paan me se aadha paan keerti ko de diya. Abhi sabke paan khane ka ye daur chal hi raha tha ki, tabhi ek ladki ne andar aate huye badi hi pyari si aawaj me kaha.
Ladki boli “aunty, kya mai andar aa sakti hu.”
Us ladki ki aawaj sunkar, maine palat kar uski taraf dekha. Wo pink top aur short black skirt pahne huyi thi. Uska rang bahut saaf tha aur chehre par chanchalta jhalak rahi thi. Jis vajah se wo bahut hi pyari lag rahi thi.
Wo mujhse umar sirf ek do saal chhoti lag rahi thi. Mai pahli baar use dekh raha tha. Wo shayad nayi nayi humari colony me aayi thi. Isliye mujhe samajh nahi aaya ki ye ladki kaun hai. Lekin chhoti maa ne use dekhte hi kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “dipti beta, aao, andar aao. Ye tumhara apna hi ghar hai aur tumhe yaha andar aane ke liye puchhne ki jarurat nahi hai.”
Chhoti maa ki baat sunkar, dipti ne andar aate huye kaha.
Dipti boli “aunty, aaj humara akhbar wala akhbar dekar nahi gaya hai. Kya aapke yaha aaj akhbar aaya hai.
Dipti ki is baat ka jabab keerti ne dete huye kaha.
Keerti boli “haan dipti, humare yaha aaj akhbar aaya hai. Ruko, mai abhi tumhe aaj ka akhbar deti hu.”
Ye kah kar keerti aaj ka akhbar lene chali gayi. Vaani didi ne dipti ko akhbar ke baare me baat karte dekha to, us se kaha.
Vaani didi boli “tujhe akhbar padne ka shauk kab se lag gaya. Aisa kya chhapa hai aaj ke akhbar me ki, tujhe akhbar pade bina chain nahi hai.”
Dipti boli “didi, mujhe akhbar padne ka shauk nahi hai. Wo kya hai ki, aaj ke din akhbar me achi achi kavitayen aati hai aur didi ko kavita padne ka bahut shauk hai. Isliye un ne hi kaha hai ki, ami nimi ke yaha se aaj ka akhbar le aao.”
Dipti ki baat sunkar, vaani didi muskura kar rah gayi. Tab tak keerti ne use aaj ka akhbar lakar de diya. Wo akhbar lekar wapas jaane ko huyi to, chhoti maa ne use tokte huye kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “dipti beta, aaj maine pulao banaya hai. Yadi tumhe pulao pasand hai to, khakar hi jao.”
Chhoti maa ki baat sunkar, dipti ne muskurate huye kaha.
Dipti boli “aunty, didi ko pulao aur biryani bahut pasand hai. Aap aisa kijiye, mujhe pulao de dijiye. Mai ghar jakar didi ke sath hi kha lugi.”
Dipti ki baat sunkar, chhoti maa uske liye pulao lene kitchen me chali gayi. Uski is baat se mujhe bhi yaad aa gaya ki, kuch din pahle vaani didi ne mujhse biryani bana kar khilane ki baat kahi thi.
Lekin apne sath huye hadse ki vajah se ye baat mere dimag se hi nikal gayi thi. Magar ab is baat ke yaad aate hi, maine bhi soch liya ki, vaani didi ke Mumbai se wapas aane ke bad, mai jarur unhe biryani bana kar khilauga.
Mai abhi isi baare me soch raha tha ki, tabhi chhoti maa ek tiffin me pulao pack karke le aayi. Un ne wo tiffin dipti ko diya aur fir dipti unse ijajat lekar chali gayi. Dipti ke jaane ke bad, chhoti maa ne mujhse puchha.
Chhoti maa boli “tu chanda mausi se baat karne kab jaane wala hai. Mujhe bhi unke pas jana hai.”
Mai bola “bas chhoti maa, mai ja hi raha hu. Aap taiyar ho jaiye, fir hum chalte hai.”
Chhoti maa boli “nahi, pahle tu unse apni baat kar le. Fir mujhe phone karke bata dena ki, wo jaane ke liye taiyar huyi ya nahi huyi. Teri unse baat ho jaane ke bad hi mai unse milne aaugi.”
Mai bola “thik hai chhoti maa, to fir mai akela hi chala jata hu.”
Meri baat sunkar, vaani didi ne kaha.
Vaani didi boli “nahi, tumhe akele jaane ki jarurat nahi hai. Hum sab bhi tumhare sath chal rahe hai. Mai mummy aur baki sab logon ko kuch der ke liye waha se alag kar dugi. Taki tum aaram se apni baat kar sako.”
Mai bola “thik hai didi.”
Vaani didi boli “tum baitho, mai abhi taiyar hokar aati hu. Keerti, neha, ami, nimi tum log bhi chalne ke liye taiyar ho jao.”
Itna kah kar vaani didi apne kamre me chali gayi. Unke jaane ke bad, chhoti maa, ami, nimi aur neha bhi apne kamre me chali gayi. Lekin keerti mere pas hi baithi thi. Ye dekh kar maine us se kaha.
Mai bola “kya tujhe taiyar nahi hona hai.”
Keerti boli “mai to pahle se hi taiyar hu. Ab aur kaise taiyar hou.”
Uski baat sunkar, mai muskura kar rah gaya. Fir mujhe dipti ki yaad aayi to, maine keerti ne puchha.
Mai bola “abhi ye jo dipti aayi thi. Ye kaun hai. Kya ye humari colony me nayi aayi hai.”
Meri baat sunkar, keerti ne muskurate huye kaha.
Keerti boli “are tumne ise pahchana nahi. Ye hi to saxena uncle ki bati aur ami nimi ki nayi saheli hai.”
Keerti ki ye baat sunkar maine chaukte huye kaha.
Mai bola “lekin tune to mujhse kaha tha ki, ami nimi ki saxena uncle ki chhoti beti ke sath dosti huyi hai.”
Meri is baat par keerti ne hanste huye kaha.
Keerti boli “are buddhu, ye hi saxena uncle ki chhoti beti hai.”
Keerti ki ye baat sunkar, maine aur bhi jyada chaukte huye kaha.
Mai bola “lekin ye to ami nimi se bahut badi lagti hai.”
Keerti boli “haan, ye ami nimi se bahut badi hai. Ye 8th class me hai aur abhi abhi iska naam meri school me likha hai. Lekin iski badi bahan ke chakkar me iske sath sath ab mera naam bhi mere school se katne wala hai.”
Keerti ki is baat ne mujhe aur bhi bada jhatka de diya. Mujhe samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, dipti ki badi bahan ne aisa kya kiya hai. Jiski vajah se dipti ke sath sath ab keerti ka naam bhi uske school se katne wala hai.

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.

Priya boli “……………” (didi, mai ye baat kisi ko nahi bataugi. Maine to aapko sirf isliye call lagaya hai. Kyoki humare …………………….…………………)
Vaani didi boli “ye to bahut achi baat hai. Lekin abhi baat karne ki jarurat nahi hai. Mai aaj raat ko Mumbai aa rahi hu. Mai kal kisi samay tumse mil kar is baare me baat karti hu.”
Priya boli “……………” (didi, ye to bahut achi baat hai. Mai raj bhaiya ko bol dugi. Wo aapko airport lene aa jayege.)
Vaani didi boli “nahi priya, iski jarurat nahi hai. Mai raat ko do baje waha pahuchugi. Isliye kisi ko pareshan hone ki jarurat nahi hai.”
Priya boli “……………” (didi, isme parehshani wali kya baat hai. Yadi aap mere shahar me aa rahi hai to, aapko humare ghar hi rukna padega.)
Vaani didi boli “priya samjha karo, mai apne kaam ke silsile me waha aa rahi hu aur mere aane jaane ka bhi koi samay nahi hai. Isliye is baar mujhe is baat ke liye maaf karo. Lekin agli baar jarur mai tumhare ghar me rukugi.”
Priya boli “…………….” (thik hai didi, mai kal aapke aane ka intejar karugi.)
Vaani didi boli “ok priya, mai kal waha pahuch kar tumse milti hu. Ab mai rakhti hu.”
Priya se itni baat karne ke bad, vaani didi ne call rakh diya. Hume priya ki baat sunayi nahi de rahi thi. Isliye hume samajh me nahi aaya ki usne vaani didi se kya baat ki hai.
Lekin vaani didi ki baton se itna jarur samajh me aa gaya tha ki, wo aaj raat ko Mumbai jaane wali hai. Unke achanak Mumbai jaane wali baat ne mere sath sath baki sabko bhi hairani me daal diya tha.
Wahi vaani didi ko priya se baat karte dekh kar ami pure samay unhe ghoor kar dekh rahi thi. Vaani didi ne bhi ami ki is harkat par gaur kar liya tha. Isliye un ne priya ka call rakhte hi, ami ko aankh dikhate huye kaha.
Vaani didi boli “tu mujhe is tarah se ghoor kar kyo dekh rahi hai. Kya mujhe kha jayegi.”

Usne vaani didi ke sawal se ami ko pareshan hote dekha to, apni hi dhun me ami ki taraf se vaani didi ki baat ka jabab dete huye kaha.
Nimi boli “didi, aap ho hi itni jyada sundar ki humara dil karta hai, aapko dekhte hi rahe.”
Nimi ki baat sunkar, mere sath sath baki sabke chehre par muskurahat aa gayi. Lekin vaani didi ke Mumbai jaane wali baat ne chhoti maa ko chinta me daal diya tha. Un ne nimi ko daant lagayi aur fir vaani didi se kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “vaani, aaj jo kuch hua hai, uski vajah se mujhe kuch dar sa lag raha hai. Kya aisi halat me tera Mumbai jana jaruri hai.”
Vaani didi boli “mausi, mai aapke is dar ko samajh sakti hu. Lekin itni si baat ko lekar aapko itna darne ki jarurat nahi hai. Aap fikar mat kijiye. Mere yaha na rahne par bhi kahi kuch galat nahi hoga.”
“Mujhe apne parivar ki kab, kis se, kaise suraksha karna hai. Ye mujhe bahut achi tarah se aata hai. Isliye aap apne man ke har dar ko nikal dijiye aur befikar rahiye. Mere rahte kuch bhi bura nahi hoga.”
Vaani didi ki ye baat sunne ke bad, chhoti maa ne kuch nahi kaha. Lekin wo kuch soch me pad gayi thi. Unhe kisi soch me gum dekh kar, vaani didi ne unka dhyan is baat se hatane ke liye unse kaha.
Vaani didi boli “mausi, aapne punnu ke birthday ke liye jo gift mangaya tha. Wo ise de kyo nahi deti hai. Kya use agle saal ke liye bacha kar rakhi hai.”
Vaani didi ki ye baat sunkar, chhoti maa apni soch se bahar nikal aayi. Un ne muskurate huye meri taraf dekha aur fir apne kamre me chali gayi. Thodi der bad wo apne kamre se ek bag lekar wapas aayi.
Un ne muskurate huye wo bag mere hath me thama diya. Mai fauran hi wo bag khol kar dekhne laga. Bag kholte hi, mujhe usme ek laptop najar aaya. Laptop dekhte hi, maine khush hote huye chhoti maa se kaha.
Mai bola “thanks chhoti maa, lekin aap janamdin ke itne din bad mujhe gift kyo de rahi hai.”
Chhoti maa boli “maine tere janamdin me dene ke liye ek computer liya tha. Lekin tab tu Mumbai me tha. Isliye maine wo tere kamre me hi rakhwa diya tha. Magar tere wapas aane ke ek din pahle hi wo computer keerti se toot gaya tha.”
“Isliye tab mai tujhe kuch bhi nahi de payi thi. Mai tujhe dusra computer dene ke baare me soch hi rahi thi ki, tabhi vaani ne computer ki jagah tujhe ek laptop dene ki baat kah di.”
“Mujhe bhi vaani ki ye baat sahi lagi aur maine tere liye ye laptop manga liya. Lekin tujhe ye laptop dene ke pahle hi tere sath wo hadsa ho gaya aur mujhe tujhe ye laptop dene ka samay hi nahi mil paya.”
Chhoti maa ki ye baat sunkar, mai hairani se keerti ki taraf dekhne laga. Itne din me usne ek baar bhi mujhe is baare me kuch nahi bataya tha. Mujhe uski is baat par bahut gussa aa raha tha.
Mujhe apni taraf dekhte pakar keerti sar jhuka kar khadi ho gayi. Chhoti maa ne mujhe keerti ko gusse me ghurte dekha to, un ne mujhe samjhate huye kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “jaane de na, us computer ko tutna tha to, wo toot gaya. Itni si baat ke liye gussa hone ki jarurat nahi hai. Galti to sabse hoti rahti hai.”
Mai bola “chhoti maa, mujhe computer ke tutne ka is par jara bhi gussa nahi hai. Mujhe to is baat par gussa aa raha hai ki, ye itne din se mere sath hai aur isne ek baar bhi mujhse ye baat nahi batayi hai.”
Chhoti maa boli “beta, isme keerti ki koi galti nahi hai. Maine hi keerti aur ami nimi se mana kiya tha ki, jab tak mai tujhe janamdin ka gift nahi de deti hu, tab tak koi bhi is baare me tujhse baat nahi karega.”
Chhoti maa ki baat sunkar, ami ne bhi keerti ka bachaw karte huye kaha.
Ami boli “haan bhaiya, mummy ke mana karne ki vajah se hi hum logon ne abhi tak ye baat aapse nahi batayi thi.”
Ab ami boli thi to, nimi ke chup rahne ka sawal hi paida nahi hota tha. Lekin uski aadat har baat me apna fayda dekhne ki thi aur usne abhi bhi aisa hi kuch karte huye kaha.
Nimi boli “haan bhaiya, ami didi thik kah rahi hai. Humne isi vajah se ye baat aapko nahi batayi thi. Lekin ab to wo computer toot chuka hai aur wo jara bhi aapke kaam ka nahi hai.”
“Magar aap fikar mat kijiye. Hum us computer ko bekar nahi hone dege. Wo computer jab sudhar kar aa jayega to, hum use apne kamre me sambhal kar rakh lege aur usme game khela karege.”
Nimi ki ye baat sunkar ek baar fir sab hasne lage. Nimi ko itni samajh to thi nahi ki, wo sabki is hansi ka matlab samajh sake. Isliye jab usne sabko apni baat par hanste dekha to, wo khud bhi sabke sath hasne lagi.
Ye uski aadat thi ki, jab uski nadani wali baat par koi hansta tha to, use hasne ki vajah samajh me na aane par wo ise apni baat ki shabashi samajh kar wo bhi hasne lagti thi.
Lekin yadi use hasne ki vajah samajh me aa jaye to, wo naraj hokar rone me bhi pal bhar ki der nahi lagati thi. Nimi humare ghar ki aisi chahchahati chidiya thi, jiske chahchahane se ghar me hamesha hansi khushi ka mahaul bana rahta tha.
Neha ko bhi nimi ki baten sunkar, bahut maja aata tha. Usne nimi ki ye baat suni to, nimi ki haan me haan milate huye mujhse kaha.
Neha boli “nimi thik kah rahi hai. Ab wo toota hua computer sudharne ke bad bhi, tumhare koi kaam ka nahi hai. Isliye ab wo nimi ka ho gaya hai. Lekin tum yadi chaho to, apna ye laptop dekar nimi se wo computer wapas le sakte ho.”
Neha ne sirf nimi ka maja lene ke liye ye baat kahi thi aur neha ki baat sunne ke bad, aisa hi kuch hua. Nimi ne jaise hi neha ki ye baat suni to, fauran hi neha ki baat ka samarthan karte huye kaha.
Nimi boli “bhaiya, neha didi thik kah rahi hai. Yadi aapko computer hi pasand hai to, aap laptop hume dekar, humse computer le sakte hai.”
Nimi ki baat sunkar, ek baar fir sabki hansi goonj gayi. Wahi maine pyar se nimi ke sar par hath ferte huye kaha.
Mai bola “meri pagal nimmo, wo computer bhi tera hai aur ye laptop bhi tera hi hai. Tera jab bhi man kare, tu mujhse ye laptop le sakti hai. Kya maine tujhe kabhi kisi chij ke liye mana kiya hai.”
Meri ye baat sunkar, nimi khush ho gayi. Tabhi mujhe paan ki yaad aayi aur maine apni jeb se paan nikal kar chhoti maa ko dete huye kaha.
Mai bola “chhoti maa, mai aapke liye ye meetha paan laya tha.”
Meri baat sunkar, chhoti maa ne pyar se mere gaal par hath fera aur mere hath se paan le liya. Lekin mujhe chhoti maa ko paan dete dekh kar vaani didi ne mujhe tokte huye kaha.
Vaani didi boli “ye mausi ko kis khushi me paan khilaya ja raha hai aur kya tujhe paan leti samay meri yaad nahi aayi thi. Jo tu mausi akele ke liye paan lekar aaya hai.”
Mai bola “didi, wo aaj chhoti maa mujhse naraj thi na aur wo kabhi kabhi meetha paan khati hai. Isliye unka mood sahi karne ke unke liye mai ye meetha paan lekar aaya tha. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki, aap bhi meetha paan khati hai.”
Vaani didi boli “mausi ki tarah mai bhi kabhi kabhi mai paan kha leti hu.”
Vaani didi ki is baat ke jabab me maine kaha.
Mai bola “to didi, aap bhi paan kha lijiye. Mai teen paan lekar aaya tha.”
Meri baat sunkar, vaani didi ne chaukte huye kaha.
Vaani didi boli “tu teen paan kisliye laya tha. Kya ami nimi bhi paan khati hai.”
Mai bola “nahi didi, ami nimi paan nahi khati hai. Chhoti maa unhe kabhi paan khane hi nahi deti hai. Lekin keerti bhi yaha thi na. Ye chhoti maa se jid karke unka aadha paan kha jati hai. Isliye mai iske liye bhi paan tha aur ek paan extra le aaya tha.”
Meri baat sunne ke bad, chhoti maa paan ka pouch khol kar, vaani didi aur keerti ko paan dene lagi. Chhoti maa, vaani didi aur keerti ko paan khate dekh kar neha bhi paan khane ki baat bolne lagi.
Neha ki baat sunkar, vaani didi ne apne paan me se aadha paan neha ko de diya. Ami nimi badi gaur se sabko paan khate dekh rahi thi. Ye dekh kar keerti ne unse puchha.
Keerti boli “ami nimi kya tum dono bhi paan khaogi.”
Ami boli “nahi didi, mummy gussa karegi.”
Keerti boli “nahi, aaj mausi tumhe paan khane ke liye gussa nahi karegi. Tum dono kabhi paan nahi khati ho. Aaj tum dono mere paan me se aadha aadha paan kha lo. Mai mausi ke paan me se aadha paan kha lugi.”
Ye kahte huye keerti ne apne paan me se aadha aadha paan ami nimi ko de diya aur khud paan ke liye chhoti maa ke samne jakar khadi ho gayi. Ye dekh kar maine keerti se kaha.
Mai bola “tujhse chhoti maa ka paan bachane ke liye hi mai itne paan lekar aaya tha. Lekin tu ami nimi ki aad lekar fir se paan ke liye chhoti maa ke samne jakar khadi ho gayi.”
Meri is baat par keerti ne muskurate huye kaha.
Keerti boli “mai kya karu. Mai jab tak mausi ke paan me se aadha paan nahi kha leti hu. Tab tak mera man hi nahi bharta hai.”
Keerti ki baat sunkar, chhoti maa ne muskurate huye apne paan me se aadha paan keerti ko de diya. Abhi sabke paan khane ka ye daur chal hi raha tha ki, tabhi ek ladki ne andar aate huye badi hi pyari si aawaj me kaha.
Ladki boli “aunty, kya mai andar aa sakti hu.”
Us ladki ki aawaj sunkar, maine palat kar uski taraf dekha. Wo pink top aur short black skirt pahne huyi thi. Uska rang bahut saaf tha aur chehre par chanchalta jhalak rahi thi. Jis vajah se wo bahut hi pyari lag rahi thi.
Wo mujhse umar sirf ek do saal chhoti lag rahi thi. Mai pahli baar use dekh raha tha. Wo shayad nayi nayi humari colony me aayi thi. Isliye mujhe samajh nahi aaya ki ye ladki kaun hai. Lekin chhoti maa ne use dekhte hi kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “dipti beta, aao, andar aao. Ye tumhara apna hi ghar hai aur tumhe yaha andar aane ke liye puchhne ki jarurat nahi hai.”
Chhoti maa ki baat sunkar, dipti ne andar aate huye kaha.
Dipti boli “aunty, aaj humara akhbar wala akhbar dekar nahi gaya hai. Kya aapke yaha aaj akhbar aaya hai.
Dipti ki is baat ka jabab keerti ne dete huye kaha.
Keerti boli “haan dipti, humare yaha aaj akhbar aaya hai. Ruko, mai abhi tumhe aaj ka akhbar deti hu.”
Ye kah kar keerti aaj ka akhbar lene chali gayi. Vaani didi ne dipti ko akhbar ke baare me baat karte dekha to, us se kaha.
Vaani didi boli “tujhe akhbar padne ka shauk kab se lag gaya. Aisa kya chhapa hai aaj ke akhbar me ki, tujhe akhbar pade bina chain nahi hai.”
Dipti boli “didi, mujhe akhbar padne ka shauk nahi hai. Wo kya hai ki, aaj ke din akhbar me achi achi kavitayen aati hai aur didi ko kavita padne ka bahut shauk hai. Isliye un ne hi kaha hai ki, ami nimi ke yaha se aaj ka akhbar le aao.”
Dipti ki baat sunkar, vaani didi muskura kar rah gayi. Tab tak keerti ne use aaj ka akhbar lakar de diya. Wo akhbar lekar wapas jaane ko huyi to, chhoti maa ne use tokte huye kaha.
Chhoti maa boli “dipti beta, aaj maine pulao banaya hai. Yadi tumhe pulao pasand hai to, khakar hi jao.”
Chhoti maa ki baat sunkar, dipti ne muskurate huye kaha.
Dipti boli “aunty, didi ko pulao aur biryani bahut pasand hai. Aap aisa kijiye, mujhe pulao de dijiye. Mai ghar jakar didi ke sath hi kha lugi.”
Dipti ki baat sunkar, chhoti maa uske liye pulao lene kitchen me chali gayi. Uski is baat se mujhe bhi yaad aa gaya ki, kuch din pahle vaani didi ne mujhse biryani bana kar khilane ki baat kahi thi.
Lekin apne sath huye hadse ki vajah se ye baat mere dimag se hi nikal gayi thi. Magar ab is baat ke yaad aate hi, maine bhi soch liya ki, vaani didi ke Mumbai se wapas aane ke bad, mai jarur unhe biryani bana kar khilauga.
Mai abhi isi baare me soch raha tha ki, tabhi chhoti maa ek tiffin me pulao pack karke le aayi. Un ne wo tiffin dipti ko diya aur fir dipti unse ijajat lekar chali gayi. Dipti ke jaane ke bad, chhoti maa ne mujhse puchha.
Chhoti maa boli “tu chanda mausi se baat karne kab jaane wala hai. Mujhe bhi unke pas jana hai.”
Mai bola “bas chhoti maa, mai ja hi raha hu. Aap taiyar ho jaiye, fir hum chalte hai.”
Chhoti maa boli “nahi, pahle tu unse apni baat kar le. Fir mujhe phone karke bata dena ki, wo jaane ke liye taiyar huyi ya nahi huyi. Teri unse baat ho jaane ke bad hi mai unse milne aaugi.”
Mai bola “thik hai chhoti maa, to fir mai akela hi chala jata hu.”
Meri baat sunkar, vaani didi ne kaha.
Vaani didi boli “nahi, tumhe akele jaane ki jarurat nahi hai. Hum sab bhi tumhare sath chal rahe hai. Mai mummy aur baki sab logon ko kuch der ke liye waha se alag kar dugi. Taki tum aaram se apni baat kar sako.”
Mai bola “thik hai didi.”
Vaani didi boli “tum baitho, mai abhi taiyar hokar aati hu. Keerti, neha, ami, nimi tum log bhi chalne ke liye taiyar ho jao.”
Itna kah kar vaani didi apne kamre me chali gayi. Unke jaane ke bad, chhoti maa, ami, nimi aur neha bhi apne kamre me chali gayi. Lekin keerti mere pas hi baithi thi. Ye dekh kar maine us se kaha.
Mai bola “kya tujhe taiyar nahi hona hai.”
Keerti boli “mai to pahle se hi taiyar hu. Ab aur kaise taiyar hou.”
Uski baat sunkar, mai muskura kar rah gaya. Fir mujhe dipti ki yaad aayi to, maine keerti ne puchha.
Mai bola “abhi ye jo dipti aayi thi. Ye kaun hai. Kya ye humari colony me nayi aayi hai.”
Meri baat sunkar, keerti ne muskurate huye kaha.
Keerti boli “are tumne ise pahchana nahi. Ye hi to saxena uncle ki bati aur ami nimi ki nayi saheli hai.”
Keerti ki ye baat sunkar maine chaukte huye kaha.
Mai bola “lekin tune to mujhse kaha tha ki, ami nimi ki saxena uncle ki chhoti beti ke sath dosti huyi hai.”
Meri is baat par keerti ne hanste huye kaha.
Keerti boli “are buddhu, ye hi saxena uncle ki chhoti beti hai.”
Keerti ki ye baat sunkar, maine aur bhi jyada chaukte huye kaha.
Mai bola “lekin ye to ami nimi se bahut badi lagti hai.”
Keerti boli “haan, ye ami nimi se bahut badi hai. Ye 8th class me hai aur abhi abhi iska naam meri school me likha hai. Lekin iski badi bahan ke chakkar me iske sath sath ab mera naam bhi mere school se katne wala hai.”
Keerti ki is baat ne mujhe aur bhi bada jhatka de diya. Mujhe samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, dipti ki badi bahan ne aisa kya kiya hai. Jiski vajah se dipti ke sath sath ab keerti ka naam bhi uske school se katne wala hai.
