Doosra Din
Jaise hi Surya apni pehli kiran se andhere ko mitaata hua dikhayi dene laga, poori vaadi roshni se bhar gayi. Surya ka rang, pehle peele aur phir narangi rang mein badalta gaya, jaise usne raat ke gehraiyon ko chhoda aur nayi subah ko apne saath laane ki koshish ki ho.
Surya ke ugne ke saath, uski roshni ne har cheez ko ek nayi zindagi de di thi. Pahaad ke upar se chamakti roshni ne, safar kar rahe sabhi sainiko, yuvaraj aur anya logo ko unke safar ki nayi shakti de di thi. Dheere dheere, sabhi apne-apne tambu se bahar nikal rahe the, kuch sainiko mein thodi si thakawat zaroor thi lekin kuch sainik bahut utsahi the.
Subah hote hi yuvaraj apne tambu se bahar aaye. Unhone Surya ki taraf dekha aur Surya ko dekhte hue apne haath jod diye. Unhone chaaron or dekha, sainik uthkar tambu ko hatane ki koshish kar rahe the, aur daasiyan subah ke halke bhojan ki taiyyari kar rahi thi jisse sainiko mein urja bani rahe. Yuvaraj ne bhi haath madad ke liye sainiko ki taraf badhaye. Unke sainiko ko yuvaraj ki yeh aadat bahut prerana daayi lagti thi.
Sainiko ki madad karne ke baad woh ab apni maa ko dhoondhne lage. Unhe pata chala woh nahakar abhi-abhi apne vastra badal rahi hain. Unhone unki daasiyon se kaha ki jab unki maa tayyar ho jaayein tab unhe bata den.
Yuvaraj ab aane wale raste ke baare mein jankari lene lage. Kuch hi samay baad unhe ek chhote gaon se guzarana tha. Phir uske baad, chhote se pahaad se guzar kar jana tha.
Us gaon ki aabadi lagbhag 100-1500 logo jitni thi. Gaon bahut bada tha, wahan har hafte mein ek din bazaar/vyapar hota tha aur woh din tha Somvaar, aur aaj ka din bhi Somvaar hi tha.
Sainiko ke pramukh Vishwajeet ne Yuvaraj ko is gaon ke aaj ke bazaar ke baare mein bataya. Vishwajeet ne yeh bhi bataya ki koi zaroorat ki cheezein woh wahan se le sakte hain.
Ab Yuvaraj ne dekha ki Surya ki subah ki kirnein saaf-saaf aa rahi hain. Yuvaraj ne apne sainiko se kaha ki woh sab jald se jald apna khana kha lein aur agle safar ke liye tayyar ho jaayein.
Kuch der baad Yuvaraj apni maa ke tambu ki ore chale. Unhone apni daasiyon se poocha,
**Yuvaraj** - "Kya maa tayyar ho chuki hain?"
**Daasi** - "Ji, Yuvaraj."
Yuvaraj ab andar chale gaye. Unhone dekha unki maa singar kar rahi thi.
**Maa Kadambari** - "Kya itni subah hume safar karna hoga? Aapne dekha nahi kitni thand hai. Sharir ekdum jam chuka hai. Aisa lagta hai, bahar kuch der aur rahte to sharir hil bhi nahi pata."
Maa Kadambari ne bade gambhir hokar kaha.
Yuvaraj maa Kadambari ke is baat par hansne lage.
**Yuvaraj** - "Subah ki thand hai, thodi hi der rahegi aap chinta mat kijiye, aisa kuch nahi hoga."
Maa Kadambari kaanch ki chudiyan pehan rahi thi.
**Yuvaraj** - "Yeh kya? Aap sone se sidha kaanch ki chudiyan? Lagta hai aapka sone se man utar chuka hai."
**Maa Kadambari** (haste hue) - "Waise aap keh sakte hain, lekin hum thode hi rajmahal mein baithe hain, hum to abhi ek pravasi hain, to hume laga utni zaroorat nahi... aahhhhh!"
Chudi pehante samay ek chudi tut gayi aur sidha unke anguthe ko halka sa kaat diya. Jakhm utna bhi bada nahi tha, par phool jaisi komal Kadambari ko halka sa dard hua.
Yuvaraj turant apni maa ke paas gaye. Unhone maa ke anguthe ko pakda aur turant apne hothon mein liya. Maa Kadambari achanak se hue is harkat ko samajh nahi paayi. Yuvaraj apne gile hothon se unki maa ke anguthe ka khoon dheere dheere chus rahe the. Unki maa Kadambari ab bas unhe hi dekh rahi thi. Unki saansen achanak se badhne lagi. Thandi hawa mano unke sharir par nahi, balki unke sharir ke andar se guzar rahi thi.
**Yuvaraj** - "Haan, ab aapka yeh jakhm thik ho jaayega."
Yuvaraj apni maa ko ab sawaliya nazaron se dekh rahe the.
**Yuvaraj** - "Aap thoda aaram se pehenti, itni bhi kya jaldi thi?"
Maa Kadambari ab us bhuchal chal rahe mann se baahar aayi.
**Maa Kadambari** - "Ab galti se lag gaya Yuvaraj, koi baat nahi waise bhi chot utni bhi zyada nahi hai."
**Yuvaraj** - "Haan, lekin thand mein yeh aapko aur takleef dega."
Ab Yuvaraj ghutno par baith gaye.
Yuvaraj - "Laiye maa, woh chudiyan hume dijiye, hum aapko pehna dete hain."
Maa Kadambari ke mann ne is baat ko ek baar bhi virodh nahi kiya. Unhone chupchaap woh chudiyan Yuvaraj ke haathon mein de di.
Yuvaraj ke paas hote hi ab Maa Kadambari ko apne pan ka ahsaas hua. Unhe laga ki woh duniya ke saare bandhanon se azaad hain. Maano unhe sansaar ke saare sukh mil chuke hain. Na koi bhay, na koi chinta. Yuvaraj ke paas aate hi unke chehre par kuch samay ke liye hi sahi, lekin ek muskaan hamesha rehti thi. Woh is baat ko bahut acche se jaanti aur samajhti bhi thi.
Yuvaraj ne maa ke ungliyon ko bilkul ek saath halki se dabaya aur dheere dheere karke unhe chudiyan pehnani shuru kar di. Woh chudiyan unke jakhm ke upar se halka se ghiste hue nikal rahi thi.
Unki muh se halki si "ahhhhhh" aa rahi thi, lekin apne is chote sukhad dard ko woh bas chhupa rahi thi. Woh khud nahi jaanti thi ki aisa woh kyun kar rahi hain. Yadi unke jagah par Maharaj Ranvijay hote to ab tak unhe apne aap se door kar chuki hoti.
Unki soch aur gehari ho rahi thi. Apne bete se yeh kaisa moh hai, kya woh Ishwar unki koi aur pariksha le raha tha? Kya woh phir kisi paap ka hissa banne ja rahi thi? Ek paap to woh pehle hi kar chuki thi. Ab unke dil mein yeh ho raha tha ki kahin woh dusre paap ka anjaam na de. Us paap ka raaz philhaal unke aur kisi aur khaas insaan ke paas hi tha.
Yuvaraj - "Hmm, ab ho gaya. Aur kuch pehnana hai to bataiye, hum pehnake denge."
Kadambari ka dhyaan bhatak gaya.
Kadambari - "A... Haan..."
Kadambari jaane anjaane mein unhe "Haan" bol di. Unki aankhein ab Yuvaraj ki taraf hi thi.
Tambu ke bahar se awaaz aayi - "Yuvaraj, humne halke phulke khane ka intezaam kar liya hai. Aap jald aayiye."
Yuvaraj - "Haan, haan, hum abhi aate hain."
Yuvaraj ne maa ke gale mein woh haar jaisa kuch pehnaya.
Yuvaraj - "Hum jald hi jaakar aapke liye bhi kuch lekar aate hain, aap yahi baithiye."
Maa Kadambari - "Haan, aap jaiye. Hum intezaar karenge."
Yuvaraj ab tambu se bahar gaye. Ab unke sharir mein hone wala kampan achanak se ruk gaya. Mann mein daud rahe ghode achanak se ruk gaye. Unka mann ek talab ke paani ki tarah shaant ho gaya tha.
Unhone apne aas paas dekha.
Maa Kadambari (apne mann mein) - "Are yeh kya, yeh haar to yahi hai, to Yuvaraj ne mujhe kya pehnaya?"
Unhone jab apne gale mein dekha, to unki aankhein achanak se chamak uthi. Unke haath kaanpne lage, sharir mein ek madhakta ka utsah jaag utha. Unki aankhein achanak se band ho gayi. Unke chaati ka ubhar apne aap upar-niche hone laga.
Yeh sab kya ho raha hai? Aur aakhir kyun? Yeh bhi bas ek abhushan hi toh hai. Main yeh sab kya soch rahi hoon?
Nahi... nahi... nahi... yeh koi aam abhushan nahi hai... yeh ek mangalsutra hai... yeh mangalsutra mujhe apne bete ne pehnaya hai. Aakhir unhone aisa kyun kiya? Unhe toh samajhta hi hoga. Woh abhi bachche thodi hain. Mangalsutra aur anya abhushano ka fark unhe toh pata hi hoga.
Nahi nahi... Shayad sainik ke bulate waqt unki nazar mangalsutra par nahi padi ho. Aur unhone galti se pehna diya ho. Mujhe Yuvaraj par aisa aarop nahi lagana chahiye.
Yuvaraj - "Yeh lijiye, humne aapke liye khana laaya hai. Aap jald se ise khaa lijiye, abhi rasta bahut lamba hai."
Maa Kadambari ka dhyaan ab punha apne bete Yuvaraj ki taraf chala gaya.
Maa Kadambari - "Dhanyawaad."
Yuvaraj - "Ab yeh dhanyawaad kis liye?"
Maa Kadambari (haste hue) - "Aapne mere liye yahan tak khana laaya, toh main yeh nahi toh aur kya kahoon."
Yuvaraj - "Kartavya aur ahsaan mein fark hota hai. Jo maine kiya, use kartavya kahte hain. Toh maine jo kiya, uske liye aapka dhanyawaad anuchit hai."
Maa Kadambari - "Accha, ab hum samajh gaye. Theek hai. Abhi aap khana khao."
Yuvaraj - "Subah ki kasrat ke baad khana khane mein alag hi anand rahta hai. Kitna bhi khao, man nahi bharta."
Maa Kadambari ne halka sa muskura diya.
Maa Kadambari - "Woh aapke sharir ko dekh kar samajh aata hai. Ekdum hatte-katte ho chuke ho aap."
Yuvaraj - "Dhanyawaad..."
Phir muskurate hue - "Kuch aise hi samay dhanyawaad kaha jaata hai."
Maa Kadambari bhi ab hansne lagi.
Kuch der baad, Yuvaraj aur Maa Kadambari khana khaa lete hain.
Yuvaraj ab bahar apne sainiko ke saath is safar ka prarambh karte hain.
