Wahi purani bate dimag me aate ja rhi thi sakuntala ke man me, jesa roj hota h. Ek ek dhaga jodkar sweater bunte bunte uske hath dukhne lag gye. Pani ki matki ki taraf per chal pde Or do gilas pani pine ke baad kuch sukoon mila. Shadi ke 19 saal baad sweater bunne jesi aadate usme viksit ho gyi thi jinhe shadi se pahle soch lena bhi gunah sa lagta. Aakhir wo chanchal si rahi thi apne bachpan me. Halanki maryada se bahar koi kaam nhi kiya kabhi. Ekloti aulad Or sabki ladli sakuntala padhne me hosiyar thi pr hamesa se ek sapna tha ki wo nokri na karke apna ghar sambhalegi jisme uska apna priwar hoga. Unhi sapno ko bunte bunte wo bdi hui or padhai puri hone se kuch din pahle apne pita se khane lagi
"Papa main nokri wagerah nahi karna chahti, sirf ek housewife bankar jindagi gujarna chahti hu"
Badi hoti beti ke mooh se maa or baap dono ne kafi baar use ye kahte huye suna tha. Waqt ke sath unhe yakeen krna pda ki unki beti jab ye baat kahti h to jese apna sapna unhe sache man se bta rhi ho.
Aaj jab usne dobara ye baat boli to uske pita ne aakhir kar swikar kr hi liya. Wo thoda sa hanse
"Haa beti hazaro baar sun chuka hu, koi baat nhi agar nokri nhi krni to ham konsa bhukhe mar rhe h, wese bhi tera ye sapna pura hone wala h"
Itna kahkar uske pita dinning table se uthe Or hath dhokar apni gadi dhone chal diye. Sakuntala ko apne riste ki bhanak lagi Or usne apni maa se pucha to unhone sab bta diya. Dhire dhire baat aage bdhi Or dhoom dham se uski shadi ho gyi. Jiski khushi or maa baap se door hone ka gam miljulkar apne sath baha le gye. Apne sasural me aake use laga jese aaj uska sapna pura ho gya. Din bitte gye or apne pati ki 8 ghante ki nokri ke sath apne aap ko adjust krke wo aage bdhti gyi. Anil ne bhi apni sakuntala ko khush rakhne me koi kasar nhi chhodi. Shadi ke kuch arse baad tk wo apni patni ko khush rakhne me koi kasar nhi chhod raha tha. Dhire dhire unki life bhi kisi normal indian couple ki tarah ho gyi or jindagi ki gadi apni raftar pakadne lagi. Bhagwan ne unki suni or shadi ke kareeb dedh saal baad vikas ne janam liya. Vikas ke sundar chehre ko din me sekdo baar chumte wo dono pati patni use bda hote dekhne lage.
School ke pahle din vikas ke sath sakuntala bhi ese ro rhi thi jese uske pita uski vidai ke waqt ro rhe the
"Are school ja rha h jung me nhi, ab rona bnd kro good luck wish kro"
Firse vikas ke chehre ko mamtamayi laad se chuma Or apne pati ko dher sari hidayate dete huye bhej diya.
Kab vikas ka 12th result aaya or kab usne B. Tech. Kiya un dono ko pta hi nhi chla. Waqt berahmi se dode ja rha tha or uski placement ka waqt bhi aa gya. Nokri pkki ho gyi thi pr apni maa ko surprise dena chahta tha. Janta tha ki uske pita 4 bje se pahle nhi aane wale.
Udhar pani pike wapir sweater bunne bethi sakuntala ko bhi nahi pta tha ki uski interview ka kya hua hoga. Tension na ho isiliye sweater me dhyan lga rhi thi. Par baar baar apne bete ki kamyabi ki duaye kar rhi thi. 40 sawan dekh chuki sakuntala maa hone ke karan ghabrahat ka sikar huye ja rahi thi. Usne apna mobile check kiya to vicky naam kaa koi notification nhi dikha. Firse niras hokar dhyan bhatkane ki kosis krne lgi, jab kamyabi nhi mili to mobile uthaya or game khelne lgi. Candy Crush game kafi samay se khelte aayi thi. Game ne thoda bahut dhyan bhatkane me madad ki pr utni nhi jitni use ummeed thi.
"Ye lo bhai receipt, or gate kholo"
Parking se apni apache nikalke vikas ne raftar pakad li or ghar pahunchne me koi der nhi lgayi. Bayi kaankh me apni file dbaye wo bhagkar darwaze pr phucha or bell bjayi.
Kisi or ke aane ka vichar door door tk nhi aaya sakuntala ke man me or wo bhagkar darwaza kholne gyi. Jese hi darwaza khola
"Meri job lag gyi maa" Kahkar vikas ne sakuntala ko God me utha liya or gana gungunane lga. Sakuntala ro rhi thi ya has rhi thi iska fesla krna muskil tha. Wo bahut khush thi. Use yakeen tha apne bete pr ki wo ek din kamyab ho jayega or aaj kamyab vikas use apni God me uthaye nach rha tha gaa rha tha. Dono maa bete khushi ke mare fule nhi sma rhe the. Fir apni maa ko niche utara kr muskurate huye use sab btaya.
"Jug jug jee mere laal, aaj tune hmara naam roshan kr diya"
Wo bhagkar kitchen me se thali layi or sindoor chawal or kuch gud rakh kr wapis aayi. Apne bete ko tilak kiya or uske gaal ko chum liya. Vikas ne us thali ko side me rakha or apni maa ko kandho se pakad kr kursi pr betha diya
"Dekha maa main kahta tha na ki ek din bda aadmi bnunga apne dam pr"
"Haa bete maan gyi tujhe ab jaldi se tere papa ko bhi ye khabar dede"
Apne pita ko call krke sari jaankari di or apna gift bhi mang liya. Pr ek baat rah rahkar use khaye ja rhi thi ki wo apni maa ko ye kese btayega ki use 1 saal tk usse door rhna pdega. Par btani to thi so bta di. Kuch der bahas ke baad isliye maan gyi ki vikas ne promise kiya ki 1 saal baad wo isi sahar me apna transfer krwa lega. Kismat se delhi or bangalore dono me IT firms h. Uske bhagya ne jor kiya tha isliye usi company me job mili jiska dono jagah manufacturing plant tha.
1 saal tk job chalti rhi or beech beech me chhutti lekar wo aata rha. Usne transfer application dali or fir bhagya ke jor se use delhi me transfer kr diya gya. Transfer hone se 2 mhine pahle hi wo antim baar ghar aakar gya tha. Train se utar kr taxi se apne ghar pahucha or bell bjayi. Aaj fir surprise dene ki sochkar hi usne apne maa baap ko kuch nhi btaya tha. Sakuntala ghar ke kaamo me masgool thi or thoda pseene se sarabor bhi. Jaldi se darwaze pr gyi or khola to samne apne jigar ke tukde ko khda paya.
"Surprise" Kahkar usne apni maa ko gale lga liya. Uski maa bhi bahut khushi se apne bete ki baho me sama gyi. Ghar aane ki khusi, apni maa ke pyar ke sath use ek or cheez bhi bhaa gyi, apni pyari maa ke pseene ki khusboo. Or betahasa chumne lga. Uski maa bhi apne bete ke pyar ka aanand lene lgi.
