Ko To Rok Lo {Update - 236}

Iske bad wo upar chhat se hi ghar ke charo taraf ka muayna karne lage. Humare ghar ke pichhe aur dahini taraf bahut bada garden bana hua tha. Jabki ghar ke samne bahut lamba porch tha.
Ghar ke bayin taraf car garage aur kuch servants quarters bane the. Magar pichhle kuch saalon se un quarters ka koi upyog nahi ho raha tha. Isliye abhi wo band pade huye the.
Iske alawa bhi bayin taraf bahut jyada khali jagah padi huyi thi. Un logon ko gym ke liye second floor sahi samajh me aaya. Lekin guest room ke liye unhe ghar ke bayin taraf ki khali jagah pasand aayi thi.
Unka kahna tha ki, us jagah par guest room banane se guest room ko aasani se makan ke sath joda ja sakta hai aur aisa karne se guest room bhi makan ka hi ek hissa ban jayega.
Iske alawa ghar me aaye guest ko bhi second floor tak nahi aana padega. Vaani didi ko bhi un logon ki ye baat sahi lagi aur wo chhoti maa se wahi par guest room banwane ki baat kahne lagi.
Abhi mai chhoti maa aur vaani didi ki ye baat sun hi raha tha ki, tabhi nimi kisi ko jor jor se aawaj lagane lagi. Nimi ko is tarah se aawaj lagate dekh kar mai chauk gaya aur hairani se keerti ki taraf dekhne laga.
Wahi nimi saxena uncle ke ghar ki taraf dekh kar tripti didi, tripti didi ki rat lagaye huye thi. Nimi ko is tarah chillate dekh kar chhoti maa ne use daant kar chup kara diya.
Saxena uncle ke chhat par ek ladki baithi kuch pad rahi thi. Chhoti maa ke daantne se nimi chup ho gayi thi. Lekin tab tak wo ladki nimi ki aawaj sun chuki thi aur ab wo nimi ko dekh kar hath hila rahi thi.
Mai us ladki ka tirpti naam sunkar chauk gaya tha. Isliye mai uski taraf guar se dekhne laga. Wo mujhe kuch jani pahchani si lag rahi thi. Use gaur se dekhte hi mai fauran hi use pahchan gaya.
Ye wahi wheelchair wali masoom si ladki thi, jise maine hospital me dekha tha. Ye baat samajh me aate hi, maine keerti se puchha.
Mai bola “ye ladki saxena uncle ki kaun hai.”
Keerti boli “ye saxena uncle ki badi beti hai. Jiske baare me abhi mai tumhe bata rahi thi. Kya tumne pahle bhi kabhi ise dekha hai.”
Mai bola “haan, jab chanda mausi hospital me thi aur ankita mujhse milne aayi thi. Usi samay ye bhi waha kisi ko dekhne aayi thi. Us samay mere sath sath ankita aur sheza ne bhi ise dekha tha.”
Keerti boli “ye chanda mausi ko hi dekhne hospital gayi hogi. Ye humare ghar kabhi nahi aati. Lekin chanda mausi ka ami nimi ko bulane ke liye iske ghar aana jana laga hi rahta hai. Isliye ye unko dekhne hospital gayi hogi.”
Mai bola “lekin tune mujhe ye baat pahle nahi batayi thi ki, saxena uncle ki badi beti ka naam tripti hai.”
Keerti boli “mujhe khud pahle iska naam pata nahi tha. Isliye mai tumhe ye baat bata nahi payi thi. Mai raat ko aaram se tumhe saari baat batati hu.”
Keerti ki ye baat sunne ke bad, maine us se aage koi sawal nahi kiya aur tripti ki taraf dekhne laga. Wo ab fir se kuch padne me lag gayi thi. Shayad wo aaj ke akhbar me chhapi kavita aur dhero shayari hi padne me lagi huyi thi.
Lekin ab tripti ko dekh lene ke bad, mere liye is baat par yakin kar pana mushkil sa ho gaya tha ki, uske jaisi masoom si ladki ki vajah se keerti ka uske school se naam katne ki naubat aa gayi thi.
Mai yahi sab sochte huye gaur se tripti ko dekhne me laga hua tha. Tabhi keerti ne na jaane kya soch kar, mujhse dhire se kaha.
Keerti boli “tum itna kya soch rahe ho. Mai raat ko tumhe saari baat batati hu na.”
Keerti ki ye baat sunkar, mere chehre par muskurahat aa gayi aur maine us se kaha.
Mai bola “mai kuch bhi nahi soch raha hu. Tu bekar me pareshan mat ho.”
Meri baat sunkar, keerti ke bhi chehre par muskurahat aa gayi aur hum chhoti maa logon ki baten sunne lage. Thodi hi der me chhoti maa aur vaani didi ka un architect se samajhna samjhana ho gaya aur hum log niche aa gaye.
Kuch der bad, reshma apni gaadi me baith kar, un architect ke sath wapas chali gayi. Unke jaane ke bad, hum log bhi chhoti maa ko jata kar, vaani didi ke sath anuradha mausi ke ghar aa gaye.
Vaani didi pahle hi phone karke anu mausi aur bua ji ko taiyar rahne ki baat bol chuki thi. Isliye humare pahuchte hi, vaani didi unse shopping par chalne ke liye kahne lagi. Dushyant mausa ji unke sath jana nahi chahte the.
Lekin fir vaani didi ke bahut kahne par un ne vaani didi ki baat maan li aur shopping par jaane ke liye taiyar hone chale gaye. Vaani didi bua ji se baat karne me lagi thi. Ye dekh kar maine keerti se kaha.
Mai bola “tu mujhe dene ke liye wo bluetooth headphone layi thi. Wo mujhe de kyo nahi rahi hai.”
Meri baat sunkar, keerti ne apne handbag se bluetooth headphone nikalne lagi. Lekin usne wo headphone nikal kar apne kaan me laga liya. Use aisa karte dekh kar maine us se puchha.
Mai bola “ye kya kar rahi hai. Kya ise laga kar tujhe kisi se baat karna hai.”
Keerti boli “nahi, mujhe kisi se koi baat nahi karna hai. Mai to ise bas aise hi lagayi hu. Jab vaani didi log wapas aaye, tab tum bhi mujhse ye wapas le lena.”
Keerti ki is harkat ko dekh kar mere chehre par muskurahat aa gayi. Kuch der bad dushyant mausa ji taiyar hokar aa gaye. Fir mujhe keerti aur neha ko chhod kar baki sab shopping karne ke liye nikal gaye.
Keerti mujhe aur neha ko chanda mausi ke pas chhod kar khud chay banane chali gayi. Mai aur neha chanda mausi se baat karne lage. Kuch hi der me keerti chay lekar aa gayi aur usne hum sabko chay di.
Hum sab baat karte huye chay peene lage. Lekin abhi bhi keerti ke kaan me bluetooth headphone laga hua tha. Mujhe keerti ke is pagalpan par hansi aa rahi thi. Isliye maine use tokte huye kaha.
Mai bola “jab tujhe headphone laga kar kisi se baat hi nahi karna hai to, fir ise paglon ki tarah laga kar kyo ghoom rahi hai.”
Meri baat sunkar, keerti ne badi hi masumiyat se kaha.
Keerti boli “ye headphone itne dino se mere pas hai. Lekin maine kabhi ise laga kar nahi dekha hai. Ab mai ise tumhe wapas kar rahi hu. Isliye mai ise lagane ki apni ichha puri kar lena chahti hu.”
Keerti ki ye baat sunkar mere sath sath neha bhi hasne lagi. Lekin keerti par hum logon ke hasne ka koi asar nahi pada aur wo headphone ko waise hi apne kaan me lagaye rahi.
Humara chay peena hone ke bad, keerti neha ko apne sath lekar bahar chali gayi. Ab chanda mausi ke pas mai akela hi tha. Lekin meri samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, mai chanda mausi se apni baat kaise suru karu.
Mai isi uljhan me uljha hua, chanda mausi se yaha waha ki baten karne laga. Tabhi keerti wapas kamre me aayi aur yaha waha kuch talash karne lagi. Mujhe samajh me nahi aaya ki, wo kya talsha kar rahi hai.
Mai abhi us se is baare me kuch puchhne hi wala tha ki, wo wapas bahar chali gayi. Uske jaane ke bad mai fir se chanda mausi se baten karne laga. Aise hi baton baton me maine chanda mausi se kaha.
Mai bola “mausi, aaj subah maine aapko itna miss kiya ki, meri aankhon me aansu hi aa gaye.”
Chanda mausi boli “kyo baba, aaj subah aisa kya hua, jo mujhe yaad karke aapki aankhon me aansu aa gaye.”
Mai bola “mausi, aaj subah mai school ke liye taiyar ho gaya. Lekin taiyar hone ke bad bhi mera nashta nahi aaya tha. Aisa mere sath pahli baar hua hai. Warna aapke rahte aisa kabhi nahi hua.”
“Aap rahti thi to, mere taiyar hone ke pahle hi, nashta lekar mere kamre me aa jati thi. Aapki yahi baat yaad karke mujhe aapki bahut kami akhri aur meri aankhon me aansu aa gaye.”
Chanda mausi boli “baba, isme itna pareshan hone wali kya baat hai. Bas kuch din ki baat aur hai. Fir sab kuch pahle jaisa ho jayega.”
Mai bola “nahi mausi, ab kuch bhi pahle jaisa nahi ho sakta. Aapko Mumbai bhi to jana hai na.”
Chanda mausi boli “nahi baba, mai aapko aura mi nimi ko chhod kar kahi bhi nahi ja rahi hu. Maine aapke mausa ji aur bahurani se Mumbai jaane ke liye saaf mana kar diya hai.”
Mai bola “lekin mausi aapko Mumbai jarur jana chahiye. Jaise mai aapka beta hu. Waise hi priya bhi to aapki beti hai. Wo is samay waha bilkul akeli hai.”
Chanda mausi boli “lekin baba, bahurani to kah rahi thi ki, wow aha bahut khush hai aur waha wale use bahut pyar karte hai.”
Mai bola “haan mausi, chhoti maa sahi kah rahi hai. Wo sab log bahut ache hai aur priya ko bahut pyar karte hai. Priya ko waha kisi chij ki koi talleef nahi hai. Wo waha bahut khush hai.”
“Lekin aap ye baat bhi to sochiye. Aaj nahi to kal priya ko ye baat pata chal hi jayegi ki, wo humare ghar ki beti hai. Tab kya wo is baat ko nahi sochegi ki, hum logon ne is sachchai ko jante huye bhi use uske haal par chhod diya tha.”
“Hum logon ne uske baare me kabhi kuch nahi socha aur uske baare me jante huye bhi uski taraf se apni aankh moond li thi. Aap hi sochiye ki use us samay is baat ko jaan kar kitna dukh hoga.”
Chanda mausi boli “lekin baba, mai yadi waha chali bhi gayi to, mai kya kar sakti hu. Priya to mujhe janti tak nahi hai.”
Mai bola “nahi mausi, aisa nahi hai. Maine priya ko apne ghar ke sabhi logon ke baare me bataya hai. Wo aapko bhi ache se janti hai. Use jab pata chalega ki, aap waha rahne aa rahi hai. Tab wo khud hi aapse milne chali aayegi.”
“Wo dil ki bahut achi hai. Lekin dil ki marij bhi hai. Is samay uske pas humare parivar ka koi nahi hai. Mujhe jabse pata chala hai ki, priya meri bahan hai. Tab se mujhe uski chinta lagi rahti hai.”
“Lekin mai chah kar bhi apni bahan ke liye kuch kar nahi sakta hu. Mai aur chhoti maa to uske pas rah nahi sakte hai. Lekin aapko to ye mauka mil raha hai. Aap is mauke ko apne hath se mat jaane dijiye.”
“Yadi aap waha chali gayi to, priya ke pas humare parivar ka bhi koi rahega aur meri tarah use bhi aapka pyar mil sakega. Aapke waha rahne se mujhe uski khabar bhi milti rahegi aur mujhe uski utni chinta bhi nahi rahegi.”
Meri is baat ne chanda mausi ke upar asar kiya aur un ne mujhe dilasa dete huye kaha.
Chanda mausi boli “baba, aapko priya ki chinta karne ki jarurat nahi hai. Aapke aur priya ke liye mai jarur Mumbai jaugi. Lekin mujhe to phone karna nahi aata hai. Kabhi mujhe aapko koi khabar deni huyi to kaise dugi.”
Mai bola “mausi, aapko iski fikar karne ki jarurat nahi hai. Mai aaj hi aapko ek naya mobile la deta hu. Keerti aur neha aapko mobile chalana sikha degi. Kuch hi dino me aapse mobile chalana aane lagega.”
“Yadi aap yaha par mobile chalana nahi seekh payi to, waha par neha aur priya mil kar aapko mobile chalana sikha degi. Mai neha se waha ke sim ka bhi jata duga. Wo waha pahuchte hi, aapke mobile me waha ki sim daal degi.”
Meri baat sunkar, chanda mausi ne muskurate huye kaha.
Chanda mausi boli “thik hai baba, aapko jo thik lage, aap wo kijiye. Lekin pahle bahurani ko mere Mumbai jaane ki baat bata dijiye. Wo is baat ko lekar bahut pareshan thi.”
Chanda mausi ki ye baat sunkar, maine chhoti maa aur vaani didi ko call laga kar chanda mausi ke maan jaane ki baat bata di. Dono ne hi kuch der me yaha pahuchne ki baat kah kar call rakh diya.
Iske bad maine neha aur keerti ko bhi kamre me bula kar unhe chanda mausi ki maan jaane ki baat bata di. Jise sunkar dono bahut khush huyi aur neha chanda mausi se lipat kar unse laad karne lagi.
Maine keerti ke kaan me abhi bhi bluetooth headphone lage dekha to, use ek baar fir se toka. Is baar usne mujhe bina koi bahas kiye apne kaan se headphone nikal kar mujhe de diya.
Iske bad maine mehul ko ye baat batane ke liye call laga diya. Lekin use ye baat pahle se hi pata thi. Usne bataya ki wo is samay mere hi ghar par hai aur thodi hi der bad chhoti maa ke sath mere pas aa raha hai.
Mehul ka call rakhne ke bad, meri chanda masui logon se baat hoti rahi. Kuch der bad ghar ki doorbell bajne lagi. Jise sunkar hum sab samajh gaye ki chhoti maa aa gayi hai.
Hum sab uth kar bahar aa gaye. Keerti ne darwaja khola to, mehul kuch carry bag liye ghar ke andar aa gaya. Uske hath me carry bag dekh kar, maine us se puchha.
Mai bola “ye tu kya lekar aaya hai. Ye kiske bag hai.”
Mehul bola “mai aunty ke sath yaha pahucha to, vaani didi log yaha pahuch chuki thi. Ye anu mausi aur bua ji ke bag hai.”
Ye kahte huye mehul ne wo carry bag keerti ko pakda diye. Keerti un bag ko andar rakhne lagi. Thodi hi der me vaani didi ke sath chhoti maa aur baki sab bhi andar aa gaye.
Maine khushi khushi ek baar fir chhoti maa ko chanda mausi ke maan jaane ki baat batane laga. Meri baat sunkar chhoti maa ke sath sath baki sab bhi khush najar aa rahe the.
Maine chhoti maa se chanda mausi ke liye mobile lene jaane ki baat jatayi. Jise sunkar, chhoti maa ne mujhe mobile kharidne ke liye paise diye. Mai aur mehul apni bike nahi laye the.
Isliye mai keerti ki scooty lekar bajar jaane laga. Lekin keerti bhi mere sath mobile kharidne chalne ki jid karne lagi. Jiske bad mai keerti ke sath bajar ke liye nikal gaya.
Bajar aakar humne mobile ki dukan se chanda mausi ke liye ek acha sa mobile kharida iske bad mai priya ke mobile ke liye bhi sim kharidne laga. Mujhe nayi sim kharidte dekh kar keerti ne mujhe tokte huye kaha.
Keerti boli “ye tum priya ke mobile ke liye le rahe ho na.”
Mai bola “haan, ab yaha tak aaya hu to, socha ki lage hath ye kaam bhi nipta lu.”
Keerti boli “tab to tum apne laptop ke liye ek Wi-Fi bhi le lo. Us se tumhare laptop me net bhi chalne lagega.”
Mujhe keerti ki ye baat sahi lagi aur maine ek Wi-Fi bhi le liya. Apni kharidi karne ke bad hum ghar wapas aane lage. Tabhi mujhe nimi ki subah ki cutlets aur manchurian wali baat yaad aa gayi aur maine keerti se kaha.
Mai bola “yadi hum sabke khane ke cutlets aur manchurian le chale to, kaisa rahega.”
Keerti boli “ye to bahut achi baat hai. Isi bahane nimi ki jeebh ko bhi thoda aaram mil jayega.”
Ye kah kar keerti hasne lagi aur uski is baar par mai bhi apni hansi na rok saka. Kuch hi der bad maine ek restaurant ke samne gaadi rok di aur waha se hum sabke liye cutlets aur Manchurian pack karwane lage.
Abhi hum usi restaurant me ye sab pack karwa rahe the ki, tabhi chhoti maa ka call aa gaya. Un ne mujhe bataya ki, wo log chanda mausi ko ghar lekar ja rahi hai. Mai sidhe ghar hi aa jau.
Chhoti maa se baat karne ke bad, maine ye baat keerti ko batayi. Iske bad hum wo sab dishes pack karwa kar ghar ke liye nikal pade. Kuch hi der me hum ghar pahuch gaye.
Chanda mausi ke ghar wapas aa jaane se ghar me hansi khushi ka mahol bana hua tha. Chhoti maa aur ami nimi chanda mausi ke pas baithe the. Jabki mehul aur neha bahar hall me baithe baten kar rahe the.
Lekin vaani didi kahi bhi najar nahi aa rahi thi. Mai aur keerti bhi mehul logon ke pas aakar baith gaye. Maine mehul se vaani didi ke baare me puchha to, usne kaha.
Mehul bola “hum logon ko ghar chhodne ke bad vaani didi bhi apna koi kaam niptane ke liye chali gayi hai. Lekin ye humare liye bhi acha hai ki, wo jab tak yaha rahe, tab tak apne kaam me busy hi rahe.”
Mehul ki ye baat sunkar, maine thoda chaukte huye kaha.
Mai bola “abe aaj hi un ne teri aur shilpa ki shadi pakki karne ki baat ki thi aur tu aaj ke aaj hi unki burayi karne laga.”
Mehul bola “shilpa wali baat sunkar, khushi to mujhe bhi huyi hai. Lekin mai vaani didi ki aadat ko bhi ache se janta hu. Wo humse 10 gram pyar jata kar humara 100 gram khoon bhi choos leti hai.”
“Wo to aaj unka mood acha tha. Isliye un ne teri jhagde wali aur rahul wali baat ko andekha kar diya tha. Warna aaj tere jhagda karne aur rahul ke bag se gaanja nikalne wali baat par humara band bajna pakka tha.”
Mehul ki is baat ko sunkar, mujhe uski subah wali harkat yaad aa gayi aur maine use taana marte huye kaha.
Mai bola “haan, isiliye tune fauran rahul ki harkat ka saara iljam mere upar daal kar mujhse kinara kar liya tha. Aaj tune badi achi dosti nibhayi hai.”
Lekin mehul ke upar mere taana marne ka koi asar nahi pada aur usne is baat se fir se apna pichha chhudate huye kaha.
Mehul bola “ab tujhe jo samajhna hai, tu samajhta rah. Lekin vaani didi ki aankhon ke samne rahul ke bag se gaanja nikalne wali baat itni bhi chhoti nahi thi ki, mai vaani didi ke samne khushi khushi rahul ko apna dost maan leta.”
“Wo to humari kismat achi thi ki, rahul ki is harkat ki gaaj sirf rahul par hi giri hai. Aaj rahul ke bap ne rhaul ko itni buri tarah se maara hai ki, kaho wo ab do teen din tak school bhi na aa sake.”
Mehul ki is baat par maine chaukte huye kaha.
Mai bola “ye tujhe kisne bataya hai.”
Mehul bola “ye mujhe shilpa ne bataya hai. Wo jab pritam ke sath apne ghar pahuchi to, use school se aane me der ho jaane ki vajah se uski mummy thoda pareshan thi aur use pritam ke sath dekh kar wo or bhi jyada pareshan ho gayi.”
“Tab pritam unhe saari baten samjhane laga. Wahi dusri taraf rahul ka bap vaani didi se baat hone ke bad, rahul ki khabar lene sidha apne ghar pahuch gaya aur rahul ke ghar aane ka intejar karne laga.”
“Rahul ke apne ghar pahuchte hi, uske bap ne use ghar ke bahar hi kutton ki tarah peetna suru kar diya. Shilpa ke ghar jab is shor sharable ki aawaj pahuchi to, pritam ke sath sath wo sab bhi ghar se bahar nikal aaye.”
“Un logon ne dekha ki, rahul ka bap, apne ghar ke samne rahul ko ghasit ghasit kar maar raha hai. Shilpa ne pritam ko bataya ki, ye wahi ladka hai, jo abhi punit ke sath un ladko se lad raha tha.”
“Pritam aur shilpa ko to rahul ki gaanja wali harkat ka pata nahi tha. Isliye shilpa ki mummy ke sath sath pritam bhi rahul ke bap ke pas pahuch gaya aur unhe rahul ko marne se rokne laga.”
“Pritam ko dekh kar, rahul ka bap kuch shant hua aur use rahul ki harkat ke baare me batane laga. Rahul ki harkat ke baare me sunkar, pritam ke sath sath baki mohalle wale bhi hairan rah gaye the.”
“Lekin rahul ke bap ki baat se pritam samajh gaya tha ki, use vaani didi ne call karke ye khabar di hai. Isliye pritam ne rahul ke bap ko vaani didi ke baare me bataya aur us se kaha ki, aap rahul ki harkaton par najar rakhiye.”
“Mohalle walo ne bhi rahul ke bap ko samjhaya. Tab jakar ye saara mamla shant hua aur rahul ki mummy rahul ko utha kar ghar ke andar le gayi. Vaani didi ke ek call ne rahul ki jindagi ko tahas nahas kar diya hai.”
“Ab tum jara khud socho ki, rahul ki is harkat par vaani didi ne ek call karke rahul ki ye halat banwa di hai to, wo khud is baat ki vajah se hum logon ki kya halat bana sakti thi.”
Mehul ke muh se rahul ki halat ke baare me mai soch me pad gaya tha. Wahi keerti aur neha bhi mehul ki baat bade dhyan se sun rahi thi. Mehul ki baat khatam hote hi keerti ne hume darate huye kaha.
Keerti boli “rahul ki nasha karne wali harkat jara bhi achi nahi hai. Lekin us se bhi ajib baat ye hai ki, vaani didi ne itni badi baat ko itni aasani se andekha kar diya hai aur tum logon par jara bhi shaq nahi kiya hai.”
“Mujhe to ye tufan ke aane ke pahle ki shanti lagti hai. Tum dono sawdhan rahna aur us rahul se bhi door hi rahna. Vaani didi ki gaaj kabhi bhi tum logon ke upar gir sakti hai.”
Keerti ki ye baat sunkar, maine uske upar khijte huye kaha.
Mai bola “aisa kuch nahi hoga. Tu hume bekar me hi dara rahi hai.”
Keerti boli “mai bekar me hi nahi dara rahi hu. Tum shayad bhool gaye ho ki, aaj hi vaani didi ne mausi se tumhare liye gym banwane ki baat ki hai. Iska matlab saaf hai ki, un ne aaj ke jhagde ko jara bhi andekha nahi kiya hai.”
“Wo tumhe majbut banana chahti hogi. Isliye pahla mauka lagte hi, un ne gym banwane ki baat samne rakh di. Aise hi wo is baat ki bhi chhan been jarur karegi ki, kahi tum log bhi to koi nasha nahi karte ho.”
“Yadi unhe dhokhe se bhi kahi se ye pata chal gaya ki, tum log koi nasha karte ho to, wo tum logon ki aisi gat banayegi ki, tumhare farishte bhi tumko pahchan nahi payege.”
Ye kahte huye keerti gusse me mujhe goorne lagi. Mai uski is aakhiri kahi baat aur uske is tarah se goorne ka matlab samajh gaya tha. Uska ishara meri sharab peene wali harkat ki taraf tha.
Isliye mujhse apni safayi me kuch bhi kahte nahi ban raha tha. Lekin keerti ki is baat par mehul ne fauran hi apni safayi dete huye kaha.
Mehul bola “iske aur mere dost alag alag hai. Iske doston ki tarah mere kisi bhi dost me nasha karne ki buri aadat nahi hai aur na hi mai kabhi koi nasha karta hu. Isliye kam se kam mujhe to is baat se darne ki jarurat nahi hai.”
Ek to keerti pahle hi meri sharab peene ki baat ko lekar mujhe gusse me ghoor kar dekh rahi thi. Upar se mehul ke is tarah se safayi dene wali baat ne uski gusse ki aag me ghee dalne ka kaam kar diya tha.
Mujhe mehul ki is harkat par bahut gussa aa raha tha aur mera dil kar raha tha ki, iski saari pol abhi ke abhi keerti ke samne khol kar rakh du. Lekin mai chah kar bhi aisa kuch kar nahi sakta tha.
Mehul meri is khamoshi ka pura fayda utha raha tha. Wo apni aur apne doston ki sharafat ke kisse bad chad kar keerti aur neha ko sunaye ja raha tha. Jis se keerti ka gussa mere upar badne laga tha.
Wo mujhe kha jaane wali najro se ghoor rahi thi. Mai keerti ke is gusse ko shant karne ke liye aankhon hi aankhon me us se maafi maangne me laga hua tha. Lekin mehul meri aur keerti ki is aankhon hi aankhon ki baat se anjan tha.
Wo to bas apni baten bad chad kar keerti aur neha ko batane me laga hua tha. Thodi der tak keerti mujhe gusse me ghoorti rahi aur khamoshi se mehul ki ye baten sunti rahi.
Magar fir achanak hi keerti ka mehul ke upar gussa fat pada aur usne mehul ko bakna suru kar diya. Jab keerti ne bolna suru kiya to, mehul ki bolti band ho gayi aur mere kaan se dhuaan nikalne laga.
Mai aur mehul hairani se keerti ko dekhne lage. Wahi keerti ki baat sunne ke bad, neha bhi hairani se keerti ko dekh rahi thi. Lekin jaise hi neha ki najar meri aur mehul ki patli halat par padi to, wo khilkhila kar hasne lagi.
