Chapter 4
Lagbagh 2 week beet gaye the iss ghatna ko aur hamari life bilkul normal thi. Mujhe inn do week may mummy ke behavihour may kuchh bhi aisa nahi laga jo alag ho. Main lagbhag Parvez wali ghatna ko bhool chuka tha.
Aaj main college se ghar jaldi aa gaya. Ghar me Mummy ek lady se baate kar rahi thi. Mummy ne mujhe dekha aur mera introduction uss lady se karwaya.
"Chintu beta, inse milo ye Rukhshana hai. Gupta ji (Padosi) ke beti ke shaadi may aayi thi, tumne dekha hoga?"
"Haa, chechra jana pahchana lag raha hai. Hello! kaisi ho aap."
Mummy: "Ye Chintu hai, mera beta."
Rukhshana: "Thik hoo aap kaise ho."
Fir Hi-Hello hone ke baad main apne kamre may chala gaya aur Mummy Rukhshana se baate karne lagi.
Do din ke baad main subah subah college jane ke liye apne room may rady ho raha tha ki tabhi gate ki bell baji. Mummy ne gate khola.
"Are Rukhshana aap, aayeyi. Kaisi hai aap?"
"Thik hoo main, aap kaisi hai? Aap abhi tak ready nahi hui?"
"Nahi! main bus ready hone ke liye jaa hi rahi thi."
"Koi baat nahi main wait kar lungi."
Main ready hokar apne kamre se hall may aaya jaha Rukhshana baithi thi. Mummy usko chayi de rahi thi.
"Hello Aunty kaisi hai aap?"
"Main thi ho beta. Aap kaise hoo?"
"Main bhi thk hoo."
"Chintu beta, aaj main Rukhshana ke saath market jaa rahi hoo kuchh saaman lene, mujhe aane may shaam ho jayegi. Maine tution wale bachcho ko mana kar diya hai aane ke liye. Tum bhi college se aakar khana kha lena."
"Thik hai Mummy. Aap shaam may kitne baje tak aaougi."
"Kuchh kah nahi sakte beta, lekin andhera hone se pahle aa jaougi."
"Thik hai mummy."
Fir Main college ke liye nikal gaya. Main college se 4 baje tak wapas ghar aa gaya. Main generally isi time daily college se ghar aata hoo. Khana khane ke baad main apne kamre may chala gaya. Maummy to shaam may aane wali thi so maine socha chalo kuchh der so lu.
Gate ki bell bajne se meri nind khul gayi. Maine gate open kiya to mummy gate par thi. Mummy ander aa gayi aur sofe par baith gayi.
"Chintu beta, thoda paani pila, bahot thak gayi hoo main."
Main mummy ko paani lakar diya. Mummy pura paani ek hi sans may pi gayi. Wo bahot thaki hui lag rahi thi.
"Aap kya kar rahi thi jo itna thak gayi."
"Market may bahot bheed thi so walk karna pda humlogo ko, gaadi ander nahi jaa paa rahi thi."
"Aapne to kuchh liya bhi nahi?"
"Haa, wo jo lena tha wo mil nahi raha tha, so main wapas aa gayi."
"Subah se lekar shaam tak aap market may hi thi?"
"Nahi, wo main Rukhshana ke ghar bhi chali gayi thi. Wahi toda late ho gaya."
Fir Mummy apne kamre may chali gayi. Kuchh baate jo maine Mummy may notice ki jo mujhe un-usual laga. Mummy generally jab bhi bahar jaati hai to wo halka meckup karti hai aur lipstick jarur lagati hai. Mummy ke hoto par lipstick puri tarah se gayab thi. Meckup bhi utra hua tha. Baal bhi thode bikhar se gaye the.
Generally, maine Mummy ko kabhi bhi aisa nahi dekha jab bhi wo bahar se aayi. Tabhi main chouk gaya aur mere dimag may mummy ki wo tasweer aa gayi jis din Parvez ne mummy ko choda tha, uss din Mummy jab ghar aayi thi to kuchh aisa hi chehra mummy ka ban gaya tha.
Mere dimag may achanak se dher sare prashan aa gaye. Kya Mummy Parvez se milne gayi thi? Ye Rukhsana kon hai? Kya Rukhsana ka Pravez ke saath koi connection hai? Kya Mummy aaj fir se Parvez se chud ke aayi hai?
Inhi sab prashano ke answer ke liye main Mummy ke room may gaya. Mummy bathroom may thi. Maine Mummy ka phone utha liya aur usko chceck karne laga. Maine call log dena to mujhe call log main kuchh bi un-usual nahi dikha. Fir maine WhatsApp open kiya. To waha Mujhe Rukhashan ke number par bahot sare call the jo Mostly Rukhshana ke taraf se hi aaye the, jo ki pichhle 2 week may kiye gaye the.
Ek aur number par bahot sare audio aur video call tha, wo number kisi naam se save nahi tha. Iss number par bhi jo bhi calls the wo last 2 week ke hi the. Maine wo number apne phone may note kar liya aur apne kamre may wapas aa gaya.
Maie uss number ko TrueCaller may search kiya ye pata karke ke liye ki kiska number hai ye. Lekin TrueCaller may mujhe koi bhi naam nahi mila.
Maine decide kiya ki main pata karounga ki Mummy kya such may Parvez se hi milne jaa rahi hai, aur ye number kya Parvez ka hi hai? Agle din Sunday tha to main pura din ghar par hi tha.
Next day Monday ko main apne college gaya aur apne time par hi wapas ghar aa gaya. Mummy ghar par hi thi aur bachcho ko tution de rahi thi, kuchh der baad Mummy ne mujhe awaz di khana khane ke liye main, tution ke bachche jaa chuke the, main hall may aaya to maine Mummy may ek nayi chij notice ki. Mummy ke baalo may gajra laga hua tha. Maine iske pahle kabhi bhi Mummy ko gajra lagate nahi dekha.
"Mummy, aapne balo may Gajra lagaya hai?"
"Haa, Kaisa lag raha hai?"
"Achha lag raha hai."
"Wo main aaj Rukhsana se saath market gayi thi wo ussi ne laga diya."
"Aap aaj fir Market gayi thi?"
"Haa tumhare college jane ke baad Rukhsana aayi thi aur ussi ke saath chali gayi. Aaj jaldi hi wapas aagyi."
Mujhe fir se doubt hua ki Mummy ho na ho aaj fir se Parvez se milne gayi hogi. Jarur Parvez ne aaj fir se Mummy ko chodne ke liye bulaya hoga. Khana khane ke baad main fir apne kamre may chala gaya.
Next day maine college ke liye ready ho raha tha ki tabhi Rukhsana hamare gha gyai. Ussi waqt main bhi apne kamre se nikla.
"Idhar paas may hi aayi thi, to socha aapse bhi mil lu."
Mummy: "Achaha kiya aap aa gayi, mujhe bhi aapse milna achcha lagta hai."
Main bhi Hello kaha aur Mummy ko bye bolkar college ke liye nikal gaya. Main ghar se apni scooty bahar nikal raha tha aur ye soch raha tha ki kal hi to Rukhsana mummy se mili thi aur aaj fir milne aa gayi. Jaruru ye mummy ke lekar fir se bahar jayegi.
Maine decide kiya ki aaj college nahi jaounga aur inlogo ka pichcha karounga. Main dekhan chahta tha ki mummy kaha jaati hai. Main mummy ke upar spy nahi karna chahta tha lekin main ab majboor ho gaya tha. Mujhe kisi bhi tarah ye confirm karna tha ki kya mummy parvez se hi milne jaati hai.
Main scotty se kuchh dur chala gyaa aur wait karne laga. Waha se mera gate saaf dikha raha tha. Kuchh 30 min ke baad gate par ek cab aakar ruk gayi. 5 min baad Mummy aur Rukhsana dono ghar se bahar aaye mummy ne gate lock kiya aur fir dono cab may baith gaye aur cab chalne lagi.
Mummy ko dekhkar lag raha tha mummy achche se taiyar hui thi. Main kuchh doori maintain kar ke cab ka pichha karne laga. Koi 20 min tak cab chali hogi aur fir ek ghar ke bahar cab ruk gayi. Wo ghar market se bahar hi tha aur waha bahot bhid bhad bhi nahi thi. Maine thodi door par ruk gaya aur cab ko hi dekh raha tha. Fir Mummy aur Rukhsana dono cab se uthar gaya, aur uss ghar ke gate par chale gaye.
Rukhsana ne shayad bell bajaya hoga aur wo log gate par hi wait kar rahe the. Thodi hi der may gate open hua aur wo dono ander chale gaye. Main thodi door par khada tha so mai dekh nahi paya ki kisne gate open kiya. Cab abhi bhi uss ghar ke bahar hi ruki hui thi.
Koi 5 min ke baad Rukhsana ghar se bahar aayi aur cab may baith kar waha se chali gayi. Mummy ghar ke ander hi thi. Maine apni scotty se ghar ke charo or ek chakkar lagaya. Ghar ke gate par main road tha lekin ghar ke pichche ek patli si gali thi jo bilkul hi sunsaan thi. uss gali ki dsri or ek badi si building thi jimay ek bhi window nahi tha, shayad koi comercial property thi.
Ghar ke pichhe ek chhoti si backdoor bhi tha. Main apni scooty wala nahi khadi kar sakta tha, agar koi dekh leta to dikkat hoti. So main uss gali se thodi dur may ek shop thi waha maine apni scooty laga di aur chalte huye wapas uss gali may aa gaya.
Gahr ke pichhe ki diwar bahot uchi uchi thi, maine pichhe ke darwaje se jhak ke deka to diwar ke ander thodi jagah khali thi aur waha par dher sare ful-podhe ke gamle rakhe the aur uske baad main ghar ki diwar aur windows this. Ghar bahto hi bada tha aur bahar ke diwar aur windows ke beech jo jagah khali thi wo apne aap may ek gali jaisi lag rahi thi.
Maine gate kholne ki kosisi ki to wo open ho gayi, shayad gate lock nahi kiya hua tha. Shayad pichhe ke taraf koi aata jata nahi, farsh par thodi gandagi jama ho gayi thi aur poudhe bhi sukh rahe the, shayad bahot dino se paani nahi diya gaya tha.
Ghar ke windws bilkul niche se the aur windows se dekhne par pura kamra dikhai pad raha tha. Suru ke 2 windows close the. Main dhire dhire kar ke savdhani se aage badhne laga aur jo windows open tha usmy bade hi savdhani se ander dekhne ki kosis kar raha tha.
Har ek room may 2 windows the aur main 6 windows dekh chuka tha aur mujhe abtak kuchh nahi dikha. Ghar 2 majila tha aur agar Mummy upar wale kamre may hogi to fir dekhana bahot muskil hoga. Kyunki upar jane ka koi bhi rasta najar nahi aa raha tha.
Main yahi soch raha tha ki tabhi mujhe aage se kuchh awaj sunai di. Awaj bahot dhimi thi lekin main gour se sunne laga. Awaz kisi mahila ki lag rahi thi.
"Aaah.. aah...hmmm....aah...thoda dhire kijiye...aah...hmmm"
