********
Dono naha ke nikle to radhika sirf panty aur kurte mein thi. pajama pehn-ne ki himmat nahi thi uss mein. Suraj apna shorts pehan nikla neeche kuch na pehna. Radhika aate hi bed pe ludak gayi. Pata nahi kya kha ke peda kiya teri maa ne tujhe. poore ka poora khotta he tu. Meri ke cheethde udha diye. Radhika muh bichka boli. Suraj bhi apni sex power pe heran tha.
Radhika ne aaj khud hi kaha. Chicken ya fish mangwa aur peg pila mere ko. Suraj ne khushi se chehkte phone uthaya roasted mutton tikka, tandoori fish aur sodha etc. mangwa liye. Fir radhika ko dekh bola peene ke baad ek baar fir se. yeh sunte hi radhika boli subah duty pe mera baap jaye ga kya?
Suraj hass ke reh gaya. ‘tujhe aur garmi he to ja apni uss ladli window wali ke paas.’ Suraj sun ke window khol dekhne laga. Par window band thi. lights jarur on thi. itne mein room boy ne door knock kiya suraj ne door khola to wo samaan de dinner ka order le chala gaya.
Dono beth ke peene lage. Peete peete suraj ko yaad aya to bola radhika bhabi ka koi phone nahi aya. Maine do teen baar try kiya din mein par switch off aa raha tha. Yaar maine bhi try kiya tha tab bhi off hi aa rha tha. Radhika ne bataya. Suraj ne fir poocha ke atul bhai ka he to radhika ne kaha nahi he. Dono thoda worried ho gaye.
Radhika ne ek peg aur suraj do peg le chukka tha. Tabhi suraj ka phone baja. Iyer ka phone tha. Uss ne ek number de ke kaha ke subah dus baje iss ko call kar ke iss ke paas chale jana. Iss ke baad ek unknown number se radhika ke cell pe ek call aai. Radhika ne hello kaha to dusri aur se mrs. banerjee thi.
uss ne bataya ke subah kunal ne uss ka phone girra diya tha. Issi liye wo call na kar pai coz atul kaam pe ja chukka tha. Wo abhi aya he to pehle hotel ke reception pe call kar radhika ka number liya fir call kar pai uss ko.
Hotel waale yu to kisi ko koi number dete nahi magar wo sirf iss liye de diya kyu ke unn ke paas ek to atul ka number tha doosra wo jaante the ke yeh sab achhe friends ban chukke he.
Radhika ne baat kar ke phone suraj ko diya. Suraj ne hello bol seedha kaha ke bhabi kunal ko kuch kaha to nahi na cell todne pe. Bas thodi ci pitai ki he. Keh ke mrs. banerjee hass di.
‘please bhabi fir se usse kabhi nahi maarna. Uss ko bahut pyar kiya karo. Sirf pyar no daant. Mrs. banerjee samaj gayi ke suraj esa ku bol raha he. Wo thik he jesa tum kaho ge devar handsome kehti rahi. Fir kuch der aur baat kar uss ne call end kar aur kaha ke wo ab Kolkata ja ke apna number chaloo karva ke call kare gi. Koi emergency ho to atul ke phone pe call ya watsapp kar dena.
Dinner ke dauran suraj ko parul ki call aai. Wo kal ka lunch yaad karvane ko call ki thi uss ne. dinner kar ke dono giarah sava giarah soye. Subah jab radhika ki aankh khuli to saat bajne ko the. Uss ne suraj ko uthaya. Suraj ne chai order ki aur radhika bathroom mein ghuss gayi.
Jab bahar nikli to naha chukki thi wo. Chai pee ke wo tayar hone lagi. Jab tak suraj toilet ho ke aya wo baal bana rahi thi. tujhe itni jaldi ku padi he bandri suraj ne uss ki kamar pe chikoti kaat kaha.
Yaar raat ko pee to li par yeh bhool hi gayi aaj nau baje jana tha. Wese aaj main paanch baje free ho jau gi. To uss ke baad beach pe chale. Wo chehkte boli.
Suraj thoda off mood se, ‘yaar kese chale ge bike to aaj de ke aani he.’ Fir uss ne cell nikala aur parul ko call kar ke poochha ke unn ke paas gaadhi ek ya do. Parul hass ke teen he boli. To fir shaam ko beach pe chale radhika jana chahti he suraj ne kaha.
Iss pe parul thoda udas ho kehne lagi ke unn ka ek driver gaon gaya he aur doosra papa ke saath rehta he sadaa. Suraj ko laga ke baat nahi ban paye gi. Fir suraj ne kaha ke jaate time to wo le chale ga kya wo wapsi pe drive kar ke le jaye gi. To parul ne kaha ke drive to wo kar leti par mummy papa gussa karte he night ko driving ka.
Fir parul ne poochha ke prog batao kya he. Suraj kuch soch bola paanch baje radhika ko pick kare ge, chhe baje tak pahuche ge aur fir do teen ghante ghoom ke dinner kar ke I think saadhe nau dus baje tak hum hotel aa jaye ge. Chalo nahi to esa karte he main raat ko wapsi pe radhika ko hotel chhod ke tum ko ghar le jau ga waha se bus ya auto se hotel aa jau ga.
Parul ne kaha ruko main call back karti hoon abhi. Paanch mint baad hi parul ki call aa gayi. Uss ne bataya ke papa wese to nau baje aate he par aaj koshish kare ge jaldi aane ki agar deri hui bhi to hum driver ki wait kare ge aap ke paas reh ke hotel mein.
Suraj ne thums up dikha radhika ko phone pe parul ko thanks kaha. Parul fir boli ke if u say main babita ko le lu saath. Suraj ne my pleasure keh ke phone band kar diya.
Radhika ke naashta karne tak suraj ne naha liya. Uss ne decide kia k wo nashta radhika ko chhodne ke baad kare ga. Suraj radhika ko time pe chhod aya.
Nashte ka order de uss ne ghadi ki aur dekha dus bajne wale the. Uss ne iyer ke diye number pe call ki call pick hui to uss ne iyer ka hawala de ke baat shuru kar di. Uss party ne suraj ko baara baje ke baad kabhi bhi aane ka keh diya.
Laundry wala aya to suraj ne apne aur radhika ke kapde de kar dhulle le liye aur kal time par laane ko kaha. Nashta kar ke uss ne radhika aur apna ek suit ek chhotte bag mein daala ku ke parul ne bataya tha ke aksar waha kapde geele jaate he beach pe.
Pone giarah baje suraj waha se chal padha. Abhi chand hi kadam gaya hoga ke bike ko reserve lag gaya. Saali poori tanki khaali ho gayi teen char din mein. Usse yaad tha ke jab uss ne bike li thi to tanki full thi. fir uss ko laga ke ho sakta he parking mein se kisi ne nikal liya ho petrol.
Suraj ne ek petrol pump tanki full karvai aur chal diya. Suraj ko uss party ke paas pahuchte pahuchte saadhe bara baj gaye. Yaha bhi dedh do ghante laga ke deal final ho gayi. Kareeb sava do laakh ka order tha. Ek laakh yaha se bhi advance mil gaya.
Cheque or order le suraj ne purse mein dala. Factory se bahar aa ke uss ne time dekha sava do baj chukke the. Ab tak parul ka do baar phone aa chukka tha. Suraj ko abhi ek baar iyer se milna tha ku fir koi chance nahi tha. Uss ki factory bhi najdeek hi thi. wo khadhe khade hi mila aur unn ka thanx kaha aur fir ghar chal diya parul ke paas.
Ghar pahuchte pahuchte teen baj gaye. Uss ko dukh hua ke parul uss ke kaaran abhi tak bhookhi bethi he. Uss ne sorry kaha. Dono lunch karne lage. Lunch ke during suraj ne kaha ke wo fish currey. To mrs. iyer boli beta aaj Tuesday he na so no non veg. kal parul ke haath ki jarur mile gi.
‘but auntie kal to din mein ek baje train he.’ Suraj ne bataya. ‘I know I know.’ Aunti muskarai, ‘main aur parul aaye ge na beta aap ko see off karne.’ Suraj ne uss ko kal lunch laane ko roka bhi par wo kaha maan-ne wali thi. lunch ke baad parul ne apna ghar dikhaya.
Ghar dekhte dekhte dono baatein karte hue hasste rahe. Kai baar parul hasste hue suraj ka baaju pakad uss ke kandhe se apna gaal ragar deti. Neelu bhi to ese hi karte thi. iss ki habits bhi neelu jesi hi he. Suraj sochne lagta parul ko dekh.
Kareeb saadhe char dono nikle. Car pehle hi porch mein ready thi. car ki aur bhadte suraj mrs. iyer se, ‘auntie aap bhi chale hamare saath beach pe.’
Mrs. iyer muskarate hue, ‘main old lady kya karu gi aap youngs ke saath.’
Suraj thoda muskra kar, ‘arey auntie aap kis angle se old lady lagti he. Aap Chennai ki roads pe to nikal ke dekho…. Ambulances lagani pade gi aap ke peechhe peechhe. Log behosh ho jaye ge aap ki beauty dekh.’
‘u naughty.’ Suraj ke baaju pe ek chapat laga mrs. iyer Sharma gayi.
Suraj ne fir aage juk pyar liya aur car ki driving seat pe aa betha. Parul uss ke sath wali seat pe aa bethi. Suraj chal diya. Babita ke ghar ke saamne aa car roki. Kuch hi palo mein parul babita ke saath aa gayi. Parul fir aage bethne lagi to suraj ne uss ko please keh ke peechhe babita ke saath bethne ko kaha.
Dono kuch dur hi chale the ke parul ne kaha ke wo suraj ki layi sarees to lana hi bhool gayi. Suraj ne kaha ke wo kal station to aa hi rahi he to kal le aaye.
Parul ne uss ko tang karne ke lehje mein kaha ke agar wo kal na aai ya fir se bhool gayi to.
‘tab charo sarees teri.’ Suraj fir bola.
‘fir to main sachi mein bhool jau gi.’ Jese hi parul ne kaha to suraj ne review mirror se parul ko dekha to wo haath ka angootha dikha jeebh nikal muh chhida rahi thi suraj ko.
Neelu bhi to ese hi karti thi uss ko tang. Paanch baje poore radhika ka phone aa gaya.
Phone pe chaalu hote, ‘ kaha reh gaya be saale.’
‘Aa to raha hu chillati ku he.’ Keh ke suraj ne phone band kar dia.
Sava paanch baje suraj ne gaadi radhika ke saamne rok di. Radhika ne banawati gusse se suraj ko ghoorte pichla darwaja khola aur ja bethi.
‘main driver nahi hu tera chal aage aa ke beth radhika rani.’ Suraj ne uss ko aage aane ka ishara karte kaha.
‘aage bethe gi teri parul rani.’ Muskarate hue radhika ne parul ko aage jane ka kaha to parul jhat se aage ja ke beth gayi. Wo to shayad khud suraj ke paas bethna chahti thi. radhika fir se peechhe beth gayi.
Suraj ne peechhe mud ke radhika ko ghoora aur bol pada, ‘ku aage bethne se teri…….’ Phat-ti he kehte kehte wo ruk gaya. Radhika samajh gayi wo kya kehna chahta he.
Muskra di bas. Fir uss ne babita se introduction ki. Suraj ne car aage bada di. Wo begani car hone ke kaaran bade araam se chalta raha.
Iss time pe log jayada jaate he beech pe so rush kafi tha beach road pe. Saare raaste suraj aur radhika ke beech nok-jhonk chalti rahi.
Babita agar radhika ka saath dene lagi to parul suraj ke sath ho li. Ek do baar jab radhika ki kisi baat pe parul thoda chidh gayi. To radhika ne uss ko bhi chhedha, ‘yaar parul tu to aise chidh rahi he jese tu sach ki rani he aur yeh tera raja.
Yeh sunte jaha parul Sharma gayi to babita hass di, ‘mazaa aa gaya didi…parul rani aur suraj raja…’
suraj ne koi reaction na diya to radhika fir se bol padhi peeche se parul ke gaal chhoote hue, ‘sach mein babita inn dono ki Jodi lage gi to raja rani jesi hi.’
Parul gaal yeh sunte hi tamatar jese laal ho gaye. Aur suraj uss ne back mirror se ghoor ke dekha radhika ko jis ko radhika ne note kar liya.
Halki ci ek chapat maarte suraj ke sar pe, ‘ghoorta kya he saale.’
Babita fir se hass di, ‘ haye didi aap to gali bhi nikal leti ho.’
Suraj car ko thoda slow karta, ‘tu nahi janti babita mam yeh delhi ki kudiya kya kya bak leti he.’
‘kudiya?’ parul ke liye ye word naya tha, ‘it means?’.
Radhika ne jab bataya ke yeh Punjabi ka word he to parul badi shidat se punjabi seekhne ki ichha jaahir ki.
Iss pe radhika ne kaha ke Punjabi seekhni kaun ci mushkil he bas mirror ke saamne khade ho ke do jitni bhi gandi gandi gaaliya de sakte ho de daalo. Jis din sab gaaliya seekh gaye to samajh lo Punjabi aa gayi.
Iss pe wo teeno to hass di par suraj mathe pe bal daalte bola, ‘oye Punjabi gaali dena jante he to pyar karna bhi jaante he. Sach kahu to pyar karna seekhna ho to punajbiyo seekho.’
Suraj ne jab yeh kaha to radhika ne note kiya ke parul bade hi pyar se suraj ko dekh rahi thi.
‘iss mein to koi shak nahi yaar.’ Radhika ne haami bharte kaha. Aise hi hasste khelte wo kareeb 6.30 pm pe beach pe pahuche.
Beach pe pahuchte hi radhika ki najar gol-gappe wale pe padi to uss ne parul se kaha ke gol-gappe khaye. Charo ne mil ke gol gappe khaye fir wo samander ki aur badhe.
Iss time beach pe achha khasa rush tha. Suraj dhal raha tha. Sham ki laali ne beach ki sundarta ko chaar chaand laga diye the.
Chaaron samandar ke kinare masti karne lage. Pani uchhalne lage ek doosre pe. Esa chaaro do do ke group bana ke karte. Suraj ke saath kabhi radhika ho jati kabhi parul aur kabhi babita.
Jo do saath saath hote to apas mein thoda takra bhi jaate ya hasste hue ek doosre ka baajoo pakad chipak bhi jaate. Jab radhika suraj ke saath hoti to parul ko koi farak na padta.
Par jese hi babita suraj ki aur jaati to parul uss ko goorne lagti. Budbudane lagti. Yeh baat radhika note kar rahi thi.
fir beech mein ek baar parul ka kisi cheez se jo ke shayad koi fish thi paon takraya to cheekh maar ke thoda peeche hati. Jis se uss ka paon fisla aur wo pani mein gir padi.
Pani shayad sham ko tide ke kaaran thoda badh gaya tha so parul ek gota kha gayi.
Suraj ne jese hi dekha to wo pani mein kood swim karta ek do pal mein hi parul ke paas pahucha uss ko baahon mein utha pani se bahar chal pada.
Parul ne jab khud ko suraj ki baahon mein paya to uss ne apni baahein suraj ke gale mein daal di.
Andhera ho chukka tha par dur aa rahi roshni mein radhika jo saath saath hi chal rahi thi parul ke laal hote chehre aur aankhon mein panap rahi sharmo haya ko dekh liya.
Suraj ne paani se thoda dur ja geeli ret pe parul ko utara aur poocha, ‘koi chot to nahi aai parul.’
Peechhe aati babita boli, ‘chot kesi suraj ji.’
‘chot to aai he wo bhi gehri.’ Radhika ne parul aur suraj ko dekh aankh maar di jis ko babita na dekh pai par suraj aur parul ne dekh liya.
Parul ne sharma ke suraj ka baaju pakda aur uss ke peechhe chipne ki koshish ki.
Sabhi ab kafi thak chukke the mastiya karte hue. Car ki aur chal padhe.
Suraj ne gaadi kholi sab ne apne kapde nikale aur changing rooms ki aur chal padhe.
Kapde change kar ke sab ne geele kapde apne apne poly bag mein daale. Suraj ne unn ko nariyal pani wale ki aur chalne ko kaha aur khud sab ke poly bags le car ki aur chal diya.
Poly bags car mein rakh apna wallet aur sab ke cells uthaye aur unn ki aur chal diya.
Nariyal pani pee sab ne yahi decide kiya ke ab seedha dinner kiya jaye.
Wapas chal rahe the to babita ke ghar se call aayi ke kab tak aana he to babita ne kaha ke giarah to baj hi jaye ge.
Fir parul ke papa ki bhi call aa gayi to uss ne kaha ke saadhe dus tak driver ko hotel bheje.
Sab ne ek achhi si jagah dinner kiya. Bills saare suraj hi pay kar raha tha.
Uss ne parul ko ek bhi bill pay karne na diya. Jab hotel pahuche to pone giarah ka time tha.
Driver pehle hi betha hua tha unn ki wait karta. Radhika geele kapdo ka poly bag le ke neeche utri.
Parul aur babita bhi neeche uttar aai. Radhika ne dono ko jor dar hug ki baari baari.
Parul ke uss ne gaalo ko bhi chooma aur kaha ke kaash aunti uncle se wo mil paati.
Iss pe parul smile de ke boli ke mummy se mil legi aap kal hi hum kal aa rahe he dono aap ko see off karne.
‘oh really so sweet of u parul.’ Keh ke radhika ne fir hug kiya parul ko.
Issi beech babita suraj se haath mila aur bye keh ke car mein ja bethi.
Parul suraj ke kareeb hui to suraj ne to ek formal ci hug di par parul ne uss ko thodi tight hug di aur boli, ‘kuch din aur rukte aap to acha tha hum daily ghoomte.’
‘thanx parul. But not possible now. Seats are booked.’ Suraj ne uss se alag hote kaha.
Fir bola, ‘ghar pahuchte hi call kar dena.’
‘ya sure’ bolte teji se car mein ja bethi parul peeche babita ke saath.
Driver ne suraj ko salam kar ke door khola aur car le ke chal diya.
Suraj ne to note nahi kiya par radhika ne parul ko nam aankho ko saaf karte dekh liya tha.
Dono room ki aur chal diye. ‘radhika coffee logi.’ Suraj ne lift mein aate hi radhika se poochha.
‘ya’ radhika boli. 3rd floor pe jese hi dono lift se bahar nikle to suraj ki najar room boy par padi.
‘sir, soda aur limca?’ room boy muskrate bola.
‘nahi yaar aaj coffee par 15 mints baad.’ Suraj ne kaha aur room ki aur chal diya. Radhika lock khol chuki thi. dono room mein aa gaye.
Radhika ne towel uthaya aur bathroom mein ghuss gayi. Suraj tv on kar ke beth gaya. Channels change karne laga.
Bed pe bethe ke dimag mein ek halchal ci thi. neelu-pari, pari neelu…… bas yahi sochte usse pata hi na chala kab wo ek tamil channel laga ke beth gaya.
Tv pe dhayan hota to pata chalta uss ka dhayan to sara parul mein tha. Uss ka jo behave tha. Uss ne jese dekha har baar usse. Uss ke saath ek ek pal uss ko yaad aa raha tha.
Uss ki ye soche tab tooti jab radhika ne bathroom se naha ke niklte kaha, ‘oye yeh kya dekh raha he? Kaun sa channel lga ke betha he?’
suraj ese chonka jese neend se jaga ho. Uss ne radhika ko dekha aur fir uth ke towel le bathroom mein ghuss gaya.
Jab wo naha ke nikla tab tak coffee aa chuki thi. radhika wall hangers pe geele kapde latka ke bethi coffee pee rahi thi.
suraj bhi paas beth ke coffee peene laga. Coffee khatam kar ke dono bed pe bethe beach ki baatein karte rahe.
Baara bajne wale the. Suraj ka dhayan radhika ki baaton mein kam aur wall clock pe jayada tha.
Yeh Radhika bhi note kar rahi thi. ‘yeh baar baar clock ku dekh raha he tu kahin jana he kya?’ aakhir radhika ne pooch hi liya.
Itne mein paanch mint the baara bajne ko to suraj ka cell baja jo uss ke haath mein hi tha.
Ek bell pe hi uss ne call pick ki. ‘pari…ul’ suraj ke honto se pari keh ke ul nikla.
Parul ne bataya ke wo log thik se pahuch gaye he ghar aur ab wo apne bedroom mein he.
Fir parul ne poocha ke kitne baje pahuchna he kal station to suraj ne kaha ke dopehar mein ek baje train ka time he to wo baara baje tak pahuch jaye ge.
Parul ne kaha thik he hum log saadhe giarah uss ke hotel aa jaye ge.
Tab suraj ne kaha ke wo preshan ku hote he. Parul bade hi apnepan se boli ke iss mein preshani kesi unn ko to aana he to fir wo ku auto ya taxi ke chakkar mein padhe.
Baat to parul thik keh rahi thi. fir ek do mint parul ne radhika se baat ki.
Radhika ne jab gud night kaha to parul ne cell suraj ko dene ko kaha.
Suraj se ek mint aur baat ki. Aur fir jab suraj ne gud night kahi to parul ne miss u kaha.
Suraj ne take care keh ke call end kar di. Uss ke baad suraj ne lights aur tv band kiya aur bed pe aa leta sone ko. Thakan ke kaaran dono jaldi hi nindiya mein chale gaye.
Subah saadhe saat pone aath radhika ki aankh khuli.
Wo uthi uth ke ac off kiya aur window khol ke bathroom mein chali gayi. Bathroom se nipat ke jab wo bahar aai aur suraj ko uthaya.
Suraj ne uthte hi clock dekhi aath baj chuke the. Uss ne chai mangwai. Chai pi ke toilet chala gaya.
Aya to dekha radhika ne packing shuru kar di thi. uss ne bhi kapde uthaye aur bag mein thoonsne laga. Radhika ne roka ke wo rehne de wahi uss ki packing bhi kar de gi.
Kareeb nau baje laundry wala kapde de gaya. Suraj ne bill le hisab chukaya. Saadhe nau baje tak dono naha liye.
Nashta mangwa ke kiya. Fir packing ko final touch de room check kiya kuch reh to nahi gaya.
Poore giarah baje dono reception pe the apne saare samaan ke saath. Hotel ke room ka bill radhika ke name se hi banwaya. Khaane ka bill alag banwa liya.
Radhika uss ko pehle hi keh chuki thi ke khane ka beech mein na dalwaye. Jinn jinn ko tips deni thi de ke dono 11.20 tak dono free the.
Radhika ne bahut kaha ke wo hotel ka bill apne atm se kar deti he. Par suraj ne ek na maani. Aur kaha ke pese ka hissab ghar ja ke kare ge aur saath yeh bhi kaha fikar na kar businessman ka beta hoon ek ek pesa ginn ke looga.
Unn ki behas khatam na hoti agar 11.25 pe parul na aa jati. Room boy ne bhaag ke saara samaan gaadi mein rakha.
Mrs. iyer uttar ke dono se mili gale laga ke. Radhika se shikwa kiya ke wo ghar ku nahi aai to radhika ne bataya ke time ki problem thi.
Car mein sab bethe aur chal padhe. Raaste mein hi auntie ne radhika se poochha ke wo non veg khati he ya nahi. Radhika ne kaha ke ghar mein koi nahi khata par wo aur uss ka bhai bahar kha lete.
Dus mint baad hi sab station mein enter hue. Baara baje tak sab platform pe the.
Driver ki help se suraj sara samaan le aya tha. Unn ke samaan ke saath parul ke ghar se aya samaan bhi add ho gaya tha ab. Jinn mein ek basket badi ci, ek bag inn mein khana, fruit aur other eatables the, ek water cooler aur ek sarees wala bag tha jo parul ne suraj ko dete kaha yeh lijiye aap ka…….
‘Arey yeh to bhoolna tha tum ko fir bhooli ku nahi.’ Suraj ne jab ye kaha to Parul hass ke kehne lagi ke main kya karu gi sarees ka ye to mere paas to bahut he.
To suraj ne kaha ke jaha bahut he waha kuch aur ho jaati. Parul thoda Sharma ke neeche dekhte hue kehne lagi ke usse jab kuch chahiye ho ga to wo jarur maang legi.
‘pakka’ suraj ne haath aage kiya to parul ne sharmate hue haath mila ke kaha ‘ji pakka.’
Idhar radhika mrs. iyer se keh rahi thi ke auntie aap ne yeh sab ku kiya khana fruit aur sab kuch.
‘arey yeh kya keh rahi ho beti. Ek maa apne bacho ke liye nahi kare gi to kaun kare ga. Maa kese sehan kare ke uss ke bache bhookhe rahe aur wo khaye.’ Keh ke uss ne aage badh ke radhika ka maatha choom liya.
Ek mulakaat mein hi mrs. iyer ne radhika ka dil moh liya tha.
Udhar parul jo ke aaj ek Punjabi suit mein thi. Patiala salwaar, tang kameez aur galle mein dupatta radhika se boli, ‘didi aap ne dekha nahi maine kya pehna he.’
Parul in Punjabi suit
Radhika ne jab yeh dekha to kheench ke usse galle laga uss ka gaal chooma aur boli, ‘ arey haan meine to sachi nahi dekha yaar. Tu to badi sohni lag rahi he Punjabi suit mein.’
‘sohni nahi didi, sohni Punjabi kudi.’ Keh ke parul ne ek chor najar se suraj ko dekha jo uss ko hi dekhe ja raha tha bas.
Yeh sun sabhi hass diye. Radhika ne aur jor se uss ko apne seene se bheench fir se choom ke boli: haan haan sohni bahut sohni punjabi kudi.
Poore saadhe baarah train aa lagi. Suraj aur driver ne mil ke sara samaan ander rakha.
Radhika ne note kiya ke train ke lagte hi parul ke chehre pe udasi aa gayi.
Radhika ne jab ye poochha ke wo udas ku ho gayi to uss ki aankhein nam hoti chali gayi.
‘arey tujhe kya hua?’ radhika ne kheench ke uss ko fir galle laga liya.
Mrs. iyer ne kaha ke aaj tak iss ko kisi ke aane jaane ki fikar na hoti thi. koi aaye koi jaaye yeh apne mein mast rehti thi.
iss ko kisi guest ke aane pe kehti ke kuch bana do to jo kehti yeh bana deti. But khana apni marji se jab bhookh lagti tab hi khaati.
Par iss baar pata nahi kya baat he. Suraj ke saath beth iss ne khana bhi khaya. Aur kal suraj late hua to iss ne bhookh ke baad bhi wait ki.
Yeh kabhi kisi ko see off na karne jati agar kabhi jaati bhi to station pe apne cell mein mast.
Par aaj to subah se hi itni udas he itni udas he poochho mat. Pata nahi kya ho gya he achanak iss ko.
Auntie ki baatein sun ke radhika halke se muskraa ke ‘auntie bachi thi pehle lagta he ab badi ho gayi.’
Auntie bhi muskraa di thi. itne mein announcement hui ke train aadha ghanta deri se chale gi. Yeh sun parul ne thodi khushi mehsoos ki.
Jaha wo log khadhe the unn ke peechhe hi ek juice ka stall tha. Suraj udhar gaya aur paanch juice ka order diya.
Driver ki help se sab ko juice serve kiya. Jab suraj ne driver ko lene ko kaha. To driver ne kaha nahi sahib rehne do.
‘dekhiye uncle ghar mein kaam karne wale sabhi log mujhe suraj baba kehte he. Aap bhi please ya beta ya fir suraj baba hi kahe.’
Mrs. iyer ke kehne pe driver ne glass tham liya.
Mrs. iyer radhika se, ‘suraj ki innhi chotti chhotti baaton ne hum sab ke dil mein jagah bana li.’
Fir wo suraj se, ‘beta ab aate jaate rehna Chennai aur ab kabhi hotel mein nahi rehna. Bhool mat jana ke teri ek maa Chennai mein he ab.’
‘ Kabhi nahi auntie.’ Aur yeh kehte hi suraj thoda bhavuk ho auntie ke galle lag gaya.
Itne mein fir announcement hui ke train 2 baje chale gi. Yeh sun ke parul ke chehre badh rahi udasi fir se kam ho gayi aur wo radhika ke kaan mein boli, ‘didi kitna achha ho agar ye train yoon late hoti rahe aur kabhi jaye hi na.’
suraj ne auntie se alag hote yeh sun liya aur bola, ‘achha to tum yeh chahti ho ke hum yoon hi sari jindgi yahi gujar de.’ Keh ke suraj hass diya.
Parul Sharma ke radhika se lipat gayi aur uss ke kaan mein aur dheeme se boli, ‘haaye didi inn ke saath to main sari jindgi narak mein gujar du.’
Mrs. iyer ka cell baja mr. iyer ka phone tha. Dono tamil mein baat kar rahe the. Mrs. iyer ne yeh poochhne ko call ki thi ke wo nikle ke nahi.
Parul ne maa se phone le ke tamil mein hi kaha ke train late he 2 baje chale gi. Aur yeh bhi kaha ke agar unn ko jaldi he to wo mummy ko driver ke saath bhej deti he aur wo auto se aa jaye gi.
Par mr. iyer ne kaha koi baat nahi wo train chalne pe hi aaye.
Mrs. iyer ne fir bataya ke pehle yeh ladki station pe aate hi shor machane lag jati thi ke chalo wapas. Agar rain late ho to railways ko kosne lagti aur ab hilne ka naam nahi le rahi.
Parul ne maa ko ghoora to mrs. iyer hass di.
Suraj ne pocket se ek 500 ka note nikala aur driver ko dete kaha ke bacho ke liye kuch le jana.
Driver ne inkar karte kaha ke nahi suraj baba aap hamara guest hum guest se pesa nahi leta.
Suraj ne kaha yeh aap ke liye nahi bacho ke liye he.
Fir mrs. iyer ne jab yeh kaha ke ye guest nahi mera hi beta he tab ja ke liye.
Train ka time hone laga tha. Radhika ne auntie ke gale lag vida maangi. Mrs. iyer ne kaha ke wo bhi ab jab aaye to ghar hi ruke hotel mein nahi …….nahi to uss ko dukh hoga.
Dono ki aankhein bheeg gayi. Fir wo parul ki aur mudi aur uss ko galle laga liya.
Parul ek baar to foot foot ke ro di. Nahi parul esa nahi karte didi ko rulaye gi kya.
Rote rote hi radhika ne kaha. Parul thoda sambhalte hue. Didi mat jao. Suraj ko kaho mat jaaye.
Mujhe bahut yaad unn ki. Mera dil nahi lage ga. Radhika samaj nahi pa rahi thi ke wo kya kahe.
Radhika ne uss ke gaalo ko chooma aur train ke door pe ja khadi hui.
Idhar uss time suraj mrs. iyer ke galle laga hua tha. Wo dono bhi ro rahe the.
Fir suraj alag ho parul ke kandhe pe haath rakh halka sa hug karte, ‘parul teri fish currey bahut yaad aaye gi.’
‘to mat jao na suraj roj khilau gi.’ Parul ne rote rote kaha.
Itne mein train sarkne lagi. Acha parul bye acha auntie keh ke suraj jhuka aur bhaag ke train pe ja chadha.
Dono tab tak door pe khade rahe jab tak parul aur mrs. iyer haath hilati unn ko najar aati rahi.
Dono dekh rahe the ke parul maa se lagi ro rahi he.
