Update 96
Shankhnaad se Pehle
Saadhe 3 baje Arjun ki neend khuli toh bua ka maansal badan uski baahon me tha. Madhu bua alf nangi uske seene me apne stann dabaye lipti hui sukoon se so rahi thi. Arjun kamre ki halki neeli roshni me woh shaant masoom chehre dekhne laga. Aisa lagta tha ke jaise varsho baad woh chain se soyi ho. Ubhre honth kisi chhote shishi peete bache se upar uthe hue aur chehre par ye alag he noor. Unhe dekhte hue Arjun ne gaalo par aaye kuch baal peeche kiye toh woh jaise koi meetha sapna dekhti muskurane lagi.
'Bahot pyaari ho aap bua. Aapko bhi jiwan me woh pyaar na mila jo milna chahiye tha. Main koshish karunga kuch khusiyan aapke jiwan me dene ki.', Unke gaal ko halke se choomte hue woh fir se chehra unke saamne kiye leit gaya. Aankhe abhi bhi bua ko he dekh rahi thi. Jaane kaise lekin neend me he bua ne apni taang uske upar rakhte hue nichla hissa bhi sath laga dia. Raat 2 baar bharpoor chudai hone ke baad bhi jaise woh khwaab me bhi wahi kar rahi thi. Lund unki aisi harkat se akadta hua unki jaangho ke beech dabaav dene laga toh bua ne Arjun ko jor se pakadte hue hontho par honth laga diye.
"Maanogi nahi aap?", Arjun ne apne mann me he ye kaha aur upar wale hath se pakad kar apna akda hua ling bua ki bahar nikli motti fanko ke beech daba dia. Hairat ki baat thi ki woh itni geeli thi jaise koi sakhalan hua ho abhi. Unke naram nitambh apni taraf karta woh bade pyaar se choot ke andar apna lund utarne laga.
"Maahhh.. Sudhar jao.. aahh.", Bua ki neend uchat gai us motte dande ko choot me jagah banate dekh. Fir Arjun se lipti woh khud he uske uapr aa gai. Geeli gali me poora raasta us vikral ling se bharne ke baad araam se uske seene par leit gai. Pyaar se uske chehre, honth aur thuddi ko geela karti bua ko fir se Arjun ka nasha chadh raha tha.
"Sapne me bhi aap yahi kar rahi thi na?"
"Jis waqt tumhara mehsoos hua thik tabhi shayad main jhadi thi. Aahh.. ye andar hone par lagta hai main poori ho gai hu. Tum bhi kam nahi ho.", Arjun ne dono ke seene ke beech ek hatheli daalte hue unka sooja hua motta nipple aur naram ubhar pakad liya. Aamtaur par chhote laal beir sa rehne wala nipple abhi sooja hua doguna lag raha tha. Dhime dhime kamar uchalti woh ab seedhi baith gai thi. Khule ghungrale baal aur joro se hilte dono bade stann. Arjun bhi halka upar uthta unka ek chuchak mooh me bhar ke peene laga aur fir bua ki kamar pakad kar jaise unki uchalne me madad karne laga.
"Aaahh... Ye har waqt tayaar rehta hai? Kaash ye karna main dekh paati..", Bade kulhe aadhe se jyada lund andar bahar kar rahe the. Aur bua ki aisi mansha jaan kar Arjun unhe araam se ek taraf karta uth gaya.
"Kya hua?", Wo jaise kisi anhoni ka soch kar darr si gai thi.
"Kuch bhi nahi meri pyaari bua. Chalo mere sath aao.", Unhe apna hath deta woh bua ke sath he bathroom me aa gaya. Bua kuch samajh nahi paa rahi thi lekin Arjun ka kaha maanti woh diwar se lag kar khadi hui aur unki ek taang upar uthata woh ek dhakke me he unke andar poora sama gaya.
"Aaahh.. ye kya kar raha hai re?", Bua ka jism jitna bhara hua tha utna he lachila tha. Arjun bhi araam se unhe diwar se lagaye halke dhakke deta apni chati se unke motte ubhar daba raha tha.
"Sheeshe me dekh lijiye udhar. aahh.. Aapki itcha poori ho jayegi.", Unka gaal choomta woh chehre ko udhar karte hue bade pyaar se bua ki naram choot ka mardan karne laga. Aur sheeshe me us motte tagde lund ko apni naram ubhri choot ke beech andar bahar hota dekh ek pal ko toh bua bhi sharma gai fir gehre dhakko aur masti me woh dekhna jaise aur sukhad lagne laga. Har baar woh sakht sa danda andar se aur chamakta hua bahar nikal raha tha. Motte gubbar dabb kar bahar nikal rahe the.
"Aahh.. kass kar maar.. Ye toh aur maja de raha hai aahhh.. kaisi chaudi kar di hai re tune meri... ummm..", Bua hairaan ho gai jab Arjun ne unka bhari sharir upar uthate he dono kulhe thaam kar jadd tak lund pelna shuru kar dia. Sisakti hui woh bhi apne paanv uski kamar par lapete hatho se gardan pakad kar apni gaand teji se hilane lagi.
"Maaahh.. ammmmm.. maja aa raha hai aise toh.. aahh.. tu kitna tagda hai re. ", Ab sheeshe ko choodd woh Arjun ko dekhne lagi. Jald he dono hontho ko chooste is chudaai ko aur aage le gaye. Agle 20 minute me dono he bathroom me 4-5 alag aasan se ye chudaai sukh le chuke the. Diwar par hath tikaaye bua ab peeche se Arjun se chudwa rahi thi. Woh bhi ghode ke tarah unhe joro se andar tak hilata hua bade kharbuje masal raha tha.
"Main hone wala hu bua.. aah..", Bua ki choot jaane 4 baar ya 5 baar jhadne ke baad fir se kasne lagi thi.
"Andar he bhar de ye aahhhh.. Araam milega.", Choot me apna rass bharta woh khade hue he jor se unse lipat gaya tha. Bua bhi lambi saanse leti haanf rahi thi. Kuch araam karne ke baad Arjun ne fuhara chala dia.
"Naha he lo ab aap. Fir main ghumne jaunga aur aap araam se sona.", Bua farsh par leit gai thi. Gaand ka dard kuch kam he hua tha ke ab unki choot sooj chuki thi. Arjun ne unka poora sharir paani ke neeche pyaar se saaf kia aur sukhane ke baad badan par lotion laga kar thodi rahat di. Goad me liye he woh unhe bister tak le aaya.
"Ye gown pehan lijiye aur ab araam kijiye.", Arjun ne unko pyaar se choomne ke baad ek poora gown gale me daalte hue kaha. Unhone bhi muskurate hue dono hath gown se nikalkar sharir ka sahi se dhaka aur utne he pyaar se Arjun ke honth choom kar kuch der seene se lagi rahi. Arjun ko bhi unka aisa karna atcha laga.
"Aap ro kyo rahi ho?", Alag hote he unki bheegi aankhe dekh Arjun unka hath thaam kar sath he baith gaya.
"Bhagwan ne itni khushiyan nahi di thi na pehle. Tu bada pyaara aur saaf hai Arjun jo jismani sambandh ke laalach se koso dur apne sathi ka itna dhyaan rakhta hai, parwah karne ke sath he ehsaas karata he ke tumhare liye mera kitna adhi mulya hai. Kapde toh Ashok aur Shankar ne apni marji se anginat baar utare, maar bhi khai hai maine kabhi kabhi dil na hone ki wajah se lekin tum bilkul alag ho. Thodi der baithoge mere pas.", Arjun se jaise unhone nivedan kia tha, pyaar se bhara.
"Aapko ye nahi kehna chahiye.", Arjun ne bua ka hath choom kar pehle 2 takiye bister ki pusht se lagaye aur fir bua ko apne sath lagata woh judd kar bed par unke sath he baith gaya. Aankho se nikle dono moti Arjun ne saaf karte hue ab ek hath bua ke kandhe par rakh lia tha.
"Shaadi se pehle mera pehla pyaar Shankar tha. Woh hamesha samne raha jab main badi ho rahi thi. Fir sahi waqt aane par usne mujhe ladki se aurat banaya aur ye jawani ka josh jo hota hai ye us doodh ki tarah hota hai jo jitni baar chulhe par rakho ubal lene lagta hai. Lekin dhyaan dene par pata chalta hai ke woh kam bhi hota rehta hai. Fir aakhir me sakht. Shankar se mujhe shikayat nahi thi koi lekin main us par haq samajhti thi. Pata chal ke uski zindagi me main akeli nahi thi. Darzan bhar hongi koi aur woh jab ghar aata tabhi mere kehne par he karta tha. Shaadi ke baad Ashok bhi sirf apni marji hone par yahi karte, meri marji se unko kabhi farak he na pada. Aisa nahi ke pyaar nahi karte mujhse, lekin ye mard jo hota hai na jismani samay me ye haavi rehna chahta hai, mardangi aur aurat par adhikar dikhane ke liye.", Bua jaise aaj apna poora dil Arjun ke saamne kholna chahti thi. Arjun toh wahi paksh jaanta tha jo bua aur uske papa ke darmiyaan tha.
"Fir paisa, kaam-dhanda, pariwar. Main toh kahi dikhi he nahi kisi ko. Shankar toh Tara ke hone ke baad waha kabhi aaya nahi kai saal aur yaha aa kar main jab bhi us se milti toh tadap badh jaati thi. Ashok ke sath mera ab mann nahi karta tha aur Shankar mere sath ghar se bhagne ko tayaar nahi tha. Maanti hu main galat kar rahi thi lekin mere andar jo chal raha tha uski parwah kisi ne na ki. Purane ghar me 15 minute chudai ki woh bhi jaise khudko pasand ho, fir kabhi raat me is upar wali manjil par kyonki Shankar peene ke baad utawala rehta tha. Ghar wapis jaane ke baad sab wahi. Is chakkar me maine bhi sharaab shuru kar di. Nashe me mujhe dard sehne ki himmat milti thi. Fir Ashok aage kare, peeche ya mooh me. 6 mahine ya saal baad Shankar aata toh main ye sab uske sath bhi karti. Ab woh bhi fir se aasakt hua ke Madhu ab uske hisab ki ho gai hai. Lekin us sharaab ki wajah kisi ne nahi poochi, mere aatma ko sehlana toh dur kisi ne ye bhi nahi poocha ke main itni kyu badal gai.", Bua Arjun ke kandhe se lagi ek hath seene par rakhe thi. Thodi der pehle wali Madhu jaise ab andhkaar me doob chuki thi. Arjun unka sar sehlate hue jaise unhe prerit kar raha tha jiwan ko sambhalne ke liye.
"Jaante ho main yaha aai thi tab maine pehle baar Shankar se kaha tha ke Rekha ko bhi samay dena. Jaane kaise mere dil se wahi nikla jo main khudke liye na keh saki thi. Aur fir mujhe tum mile. Nadaan se dikhne wale masoom jiske prati main maa ki umar hone par bhi khinchi chali di. Bahut roka khudko, tumhe bhi dukh pahuchaya lekin fir mujhe jo pyaar aur ijjatt tumne di woh sab ghaav bhar gaya. Andar aur bahar dono ke. Mujhe ye masoom sa ladka itna samajhdar hai, pyaar ko jaanta hai ye pata chala. Tum koi vaada nahi karte jaise dusre log pehli bar jism milne par duniya jaha ki kasme khaa lete hai. Lekin tum mere khud utare kapde pehnane se pehle mujhe gehrai se dekhte ho. Kahi koi jakhm na de dia ho, dukh na pahuchaya ho. Kal raat main waise he soyi thi jaise bachpan me nasamajh si bhag-daud ke baat khush ho kar so jaati thi papa ke gudiya dilane par. Itna samajhdar kisne bana dia tumhe?"
"Halaat ne bua. Papa ka maa ko hamesha dabana, Dada ji ka akele he mehnat karna 3 jawaan bete hone ke bawjood, behno par pabandiya, aapka papa ke liye tadapna aur fir mera is ghar se jana. Krishna maa ko meri parwah thi lekin woh bhi na reh saki mere sath. Fir akela rehne par maine dekha ki bada insaan chhote ko hamesha dabata hai, darata hai jabki woh us taqatwar ke liye din-rat mehnat karta hai. Fir kitabe aur Dada ji ki shiksha ne mujhe khud ko badalne me sath dia. Wapis aane par dadaji ne ek badi baat kahi thi jab main unse kehta tha ke aap hamesha daadi ji se darte hai. Woh bole ki meri daadi he hai jo unke hisse ki bhi sari jimmedaria akele nibhati rahi hai. ye darr nahi hai, samarpan hai. Samarpan insaan ko jyada majboot banta hai kyonki fir woh akela nahi hota. Kisi ka dil ya dard he nahi samjhunga toh woh mujhe samarpit kyon hone laga? Ye dono taraf se kaam karta hai aur jitne aapas me purn samarpan he nahi toh fir pyaar kaise hua?", Arjun ne saralta se itni gehri baatein keh di thi.
"Bua, aap jab dil se mere sath hai. Mujhe khushi de rahi hai, meri dekhbhal bhi karti hai toh main wahi kyu na karu? Aur kaise vaade hum kar sakte hai siway iske ki jab bhi hum dono honge toh nischhal aur saaf honge ek dusre ke sath, poore dil aur aatmiyata se. Itne anmol samay me kaise aapko kshati pahuchane ki galti kar sakta hu? Yaadein toh gulaab si honi chahiye na in palo ki, Mehakti hui khaas sugandh liye. Hamare ekant me toh maine kabhi aapko kisi rishtey se nahi dekha siway pyaar ke, aur aap badi hai toh mujhe aapka jyada khayal rakhna he hoga. Waise ab sharaab matt peena aap.", Arjun ne subah ke waqt in gambhir baaton ko is masti se khatam karte hue muskura kar unki naak par halke se choom lia.
"Ye papa tumhe paida nahi kar sakte the kya?", Woh bhi laad se Arjun ke seene lagti kehne lagi.
"Shaadi fir bhi nahi hone wali thi. Aur aap ab jyada atchi dikhti ho, us waqt ki tasveer maine dekhi hai. Dubli si.", Arjun unhe pyaar se satate hue alag hua aur woh narajgi se hath marne ka dikhawa karne lagi. Apne kamre ki taraf jaata woh jaldi se unhe choom kar fir bhaag gaya.
"Shaitaan kahi ke. Tu mil agli baar mujhe."
"Raat ka kya khayaal hai bua?", Arjun kamre me kapde badalte hue bola.
"Bhool ja tu ab. Bura haal hai pehle he mera. Ab sone de thodi der.", Naatak karti woh leit gai thi aur Arjun tayaar ho kar unke kamre me aaya toh bua ki band aankhe dekh kamre ko thik karta woh fir bahar nikal chala.

Khushnuma mahol tha in vriksho ke jhurmut aur khulle aasman ke tale. 5 baje vatavaran purn shant tha university ke andar he aage ke is jungle si jagah par. Halke ujale me ghas par baitha Arjun apne pas baithi Muskaan ki baatein sunta hua us chotte talaab ko dekh raha tha. 5-6 bhoori rang ki batakh khas tarike se chalti fir paani me utar rahi thi. Barabar he baiti Muskaan ek ujli safed dheeli tshirt aur ghutno tak ki jeans ki nikkar pehne thi.
"Bade araam se baithe ho yaar. Waha sab log jung ki tayaari me lage hai aur tum mere sath is jungle me itni savere baithe batkhe dekh rahe ho.", Muskaan ke reshmi seedhe baal sahi se ek rubber me bandhe uske kandhe se neeche tike the. Woh bhi Arjun ki najro ka peecha karti wahi dekh rahi thi.
"Batao fir main kya karu? Ab unhone jo karna hai woh karenge lekin unke chakkar me main kyu ye anmol pal kharaab karu? Itni pyaari dushman sath baithi hai aur saamne pakshiyo ka poora pariwar maje le raha hai.", Arjun ki is halki si hansi par woh bhi muskura di.
"Dushman toh maine tumhe kabhi nahi mana. Aur main kabse pyaari ho gai?", Woh mooh banati hui dusri taraf dekhne lagi jaha 10 feet unche ghane sarkande lage the. Arjun ne ek baar Muskaan ki taraf dekha aur chhota sa tinka uske kaan se lagate hue masti karne laga.
"ouchh.. pagal kahi ke. Main sach me pareshan hu aur tum hans rahe ho."
"Kis baat se pareshan ho? Yahi ki tumhari didi ke log aur kai dusre log milkar mujhe khatam kar denge. Toh atcha he hai na. Fir tum bhi ajaad ho jaogi in sab mushkilo se aur ghar wapis ja sakogi. Itne log agar aisa chahte hai toh koi badi wajah he hogi. Fir is se unko sukoon milega toh atcha hai.", Baat kehta woh Muskaan ko dekhne laga jo mooh fere baat sunti rahi aur ekdum se uski taraf palat kar dheele hath se karara tamacha gaal par maar dia. Aankhon me aansu bhare the Muskaan ki aur Arjun ko thappad maarti woh khud he uske gale se lag gai. Woh ab bhi shaant he tha.
"Mujhe pyaar nahi karte ye main janti hu. Lekin main karti hu pyaar aur woh log mujhe maar de toh main khuskismat samjhungi khudko. Meri aankhen ab band bhi nahi hoti raat me ki unhone tumhe kuch kar dia aur iski jimmewar main hu.", Shaanti kuch hadd tak bhangg ho chuki thi Muskaan ke foot-foot ke rone se. Gulabi gaal aansuo se tarr the aur woh halka hilti hui apne andar bhare dard ko nikalne lagi.
"Sab baatein tum he soch leti ho kya? Main pyaar nahi karta? Woh mujhe maar denge? Jimmewar tum ho? Arre kitni pagal ho tum tumhe khud nahi pata. Aur bilkul nasamajh bhi. Shabnam ne jaane kya soch kar tumhe kaam lagaya tha jo har baar tum meri aankhon me rahi. Jab main khud tumhari behan ki pehchan wapis de sakta hu aur tumhare hath apni aur papa ki tasvire un tak pahucha sakta hu toh tumhe abhi bhi lagta hai ke Arjun tayaar nahi hai? Rona band karo aur raat ko tayaar rehna.", Arjun ne aakhiri baat bilkul kaan ko choomte hue kahi.
"Tum insaan ho bhi ya nahi? Yaha main is sabse itni pareshan hu ki so nahi paa rahi aur tum gandi baatein kar rahe ho.", Muskaan sisakte hue apne bheege chehre se usko dekh rahi thi. Fir Arjun ne uske chehre ko khud he saaf kia aur apna hath Muskaan ki kamar me daalta apne se lagaye baith gaya.
"Na tum mujhe kuch bataogi ke woh kaun log hai aur na main tumhe bataunga ke main kya soch kar nischint hu. Lekin sach kehta hu ke aaj main tumhare pas jarur aaunga, raat me. Mera dil hai tumse dhero baatein karne ka, jaan-ne ka aur meri wajah se ab tum akeli padd gai ho toh fir zindagi ke baare me kuch sochna toh padega. Jimmewar main hu is sabke liye tum nahi.", Arjun kahi na kahi Muskaan ki is haalat se chintit tha.
"Woh log bahot khatarnaak hai Arjun. Shabnam bhi unhe itna nahi jaanti kyonki woh ek tarah se mujhe saamne rakhti aai hai aur idhar woh bas 10 din se he hai. 6 Mahine woh Bombay he thi aur us se pehle saal me ek baar 2-3 din ke liye England se idhar aati thi. Main woh log kareeb se dekhe hai aur unhe samjha hai. Bereham, chalaak aur hamari soch se kahi jyada taqatwar. Aur woh meri jaankari se bhi jyada he honge. Main inme se kisi ki sagi nahi hu toh mujhe jaan boojh kar samne rakha gaya aur aisi image bana di jaise main bigdail ameer ladki hu, kal ko sab gayab ho jayenge aur main is sabki jimmedar kehlaungi.", Muskaan samajhdar thi jisko apne he pariwar walo ke mansube pehle se pata the.
"Tumhare tak baat nahi aayegi. Waise tumhare papa toh aisa kabhi nahi kar sakte Muskaan. Ek baap kabhi beti ko khatre me nahi dalega."
"Arjun, papa se maa ne dusri shaadi sirf isliye ki thi kyonki woh England ke naagrik hone ke sath he ek bade pariwar ke sabse laadle ladke the. Maa khoobsurat thi aur papa apahiz. Woh wheelchair pe hai jabse shaadi hui, shayad us se bhi pehle se. Fir aadhi se jyada property maa ke naam ho gai aur papa bhi unke samne bebas. Daadi ke baad ab maa he pariwar ke head hai, tauji ke hone ke bawjood. Unhone he maa ko banaya hai jaise.", Ladki kahi bhi koi galat alfaaj nahi bol rahi thi. Arjun uski aisi haalat dekh dukhi ho gaya tha. Is baar usne khud Muskaan ko apne seene se laga lia aur wahi ghaas pe leit kar aankhen band kar li. Muskaan ko toh jaise itne pyaar ki sapne me bhi ummeed na thi.
"Sab thik ho jayega Muskaan bas apne naam ko yaad rakhna. Pata nahi kaise hoga lekin tumhe poora pariwar milega aur utna he pyaar jitna har layak beti ko milta hai. Tumne apne hisse ka dukh jee lia hai aur ab baaki sabki baari hai. Ek masoom ke kandhe par bandook rakh kar chalne ki badi bhaari galti kar di.", Arjun kabhi ugra nahi hota tha lekin jaise seene se lagate hue woh Muskaan ke dard se judd sa gaya tha.
"Woh log..."
"Shhh.. Sab ko bhugatna padega. Pata tha ke aisa kuch hone wala hai lekin pehle main sirf isko ek badle ki mansha se liye jaane wale pratishodh ki tarah dekh raha tha lekin ye kshadyantra hai aur isme jitne bhi shamil hai sabko saja milegi.", Arjun ki awaaj halki kaamp rahi thi lekin woh tej nahi thi. Muskaan ko pehli baar laga tha jaise Arjun sacmuch alag hai uski soch se. Beshak woh taqatwar hai aur usme shaq karna bewkoofi thi kyonki usne khud aankho se dekha tha ki uske bheetar ek janwar aur hai.
"Shaant ho jao.", Badi naram awaaj me muskaan ne kaha toh Arjun ne uska sharir dheela chhodte hue khudki aankhe bhi band kar li. Lekin Muskaan khud uske upar sarakti Arjun ke shaant chehre ko dekhne lagi. Apni bhi aankhe band karti woh uske hontho par jhuki lekin usko nahi pata tha ke woh kya kar rahi hai. Band hontho se apne bhi naram honth bhidati woh waise he rahi. Arjun ke chehre par lambi si muskurahat aa gai.
"Tumhe kiss nahi karna aata? England se ho fir bhi nahi? Manju ko toh bahut kahaniya sunai hui hai tumne.", Ab woh ghaas par leti thi aur Arjun sirf uske chehre par ek taraf se jhuka tha. Sharam se aankhen band karti woh gardan naa me hilane lagi.
"England ka matlab ye toh nahi ki waha har koi har taraf choomta firta hai. Main joint family me rahi hu aur hamesha apne papa ke pas. Teacher ghar padhane aate the aur fir yaha aane ke baad maine kya kia hai woh tumhe bhi pata hoga. Haan Manju meri atchi saheli hai aur apni image kharaab karna fir uske samne he shuru kia tha. Waise tumne Manju ko kiss kia hai?"
"Har baar kiss se jyada he karta hu. Pooch lena mana nahi karegi batane se jaise Preeti ne tumse kaha tha.", Arjun ne dono ka naam lete hue bhi awaaj me shokhi barkarar rakhi.
"Kitne gande ho tum. 2-2 girlfriend aur ye sab bhi karte ho.", Woh sharam se chehra ghumane lagi.
"Ab 3-3 kehna thik rahega.", Arjun ne jaise pyaar se uska chehra thaama toh Muskaan ne himmat karte hue uska chehra neeche kheench lia. Apni patle gulabi honth kholti is baar woh khud he poore josh se Arjun ko choom rahi thi. Hontho ka rass agle ek minute tak badalta raha fir alag hone par dono he upar aasman dekhne lage.
"tumhe toh aata nahi tha?"
"Filme England me bhi dekhne ko milti thi aur yaha bhi. Badi hu tumse, college girl."
"Ye school wala boy tumhari saari filme bhula dega.", Arjun waise he leta muskura raha tha aur Muskaan fir se uske upar jhukti badi najakat se chote chote kai chumban hontho par lagatar karti rahi. Jaane ye kaisa tarika tha ke Arjun ka dil dheeme dhadakne laga, sukoon se. Sharir halka ho chuka tha aur ab Muskaan bhi baalo se rubber nikale uske seene par sar rakhe leti thi.
"Butterfly kisses. It connects two souls. Ek english short movie me dekha tha maine ye. Tumse pehle sirf Bruno ke sath iski practice ki thi."
"Bruno?"
"Room me aaoge toh milwa dungi. Jealous mat hona fir. Waise tum kyo hone lage 3-3 girlfriend wale ho."
"Utho teesri ji. Aasman saaf hone laga hai ab mujhe chalna hoga aur tum bilkul bhi akele nahi rehna filhal."
"Ye baat mujhe tumhare liye kehni chahiye.", Arjun uski parwah dekh hansta hua kachi sadak par khadi motorcycle tak aa gaya, peeche he Muskaan aa rahi thi.
"Akela nahi hu main lekin tum apna dhyaan rakhna.", Arjun jaise usko aashwast karna chahta tha aur Muskaan is baar alag tarah se peeche baithi thi, dono taraf paanv karti uske peeth se chipak kar.
"Tum na jaise dikhte ho bilkul waise nahi ho. Badmash aur shararti se.", Sar peeth par rakhti woh fir thoda chintit ho gai thi.
"Jo kaha hai woh yaad rakhna."
"Haan haan akeli nahi rahungi aur dhyaan rakhungi apna."
"Mera matlab tha raat ke bare me.", Arjun motorcycle liye aage badh chala aur Muskaan uski peeth par halke se chapat lagti hansne lagi.
.
.
"Dono gaadi ja rahi hai? Aur bhaiya aap kab aaye?", Arjun jaldi tayar ho gaya tha aur fir sabhi jab jaane lage toh woh bahar unke sath he chala aaya. Yaha safari aur esteem dono gaadi khadi thi. Sath he Sanjiv bhaiya aur ek police ka hawaldar bhi.
"Haan bhai ab baaki log toh naraaj nahi kar sakte. Isliye socha sabko he le chalte hai. Bas teri taaiji Aarti didi ghar me hai beta toh school se aane ke baad thoda dhyaan rakhna agar koi samaan lana ho. Waise raat ko Harpaal aa jayega nigrani ke liye aur aangan me he bister lagwa dena uska.", Dadaji ne Arjun ko sari hidayte de di thi jo apne bhaiya ke sath laga khada tha. Harpal police ka hawaldar tha aur pehle woh Rameshwar ji ka driver reh chuka tha.
"Aaru, meri leave table par he rakhi hai. Bhai meri class me de dena please. 2 din ki di hai.", Rupali didi ne usko aaj Aaru keh kar bulaya tha aur Arjun muskurata hua unhe dekhne laga.
"Kisi aur ka bhi koi kaam ho toh bata dena. Waise stadium toh ja sakta hu na.", Ye usne apni daadi ko dekh kar kaha tha aur Kaushalya ji bhi usko gale lagane ke baad beech wali seat par baithne lagi.
"Ajaad hai tu beta. Inki mat suna kar itni, Lalita ke pas Saroj bhabhi aa jayegi teri aur waise bhi pados me apne he log hai. Tu khana kha ke school chale jana.", Daadi ki baat par Arjun sar hilata fir maa se gale mila. Sabko bye kehne ke baad jab Sanjiv bhaiya bhi gaadi me baithe toh Arjun kuch samay unke gale laga raha. Sabko atcha lagta tha un dono ka pyaar dekh kar. Bhaiya ne gaal thapthapaya aur fir dono gaadi ghar se nikal kar apni manjil ki aur badh gai.
"Shukar hai.. Hhh..", Arjun unke jaate he andar aa gaya. Abhi school jaane me pauna ghanta baaki tha.
"lalla khana laga du pehle tera?", Taai ji jaise kafi samay se uthi hui thi aur sabhi log nashta karke gaye the isliye bartan dhone me lagi hui woh rasoi me aa khade hue Arjun se poochne lagi.
"Aaj nashta me aap ho kya?"
"Hatt badmash. Subah savere he shuru ho gaya. School se aane ke baad dekhenge ye sab aur raat bhi hai.", Arjun unko chhodd kar alag hota muskura raha tha.
"Taaiji filhal toh main ek baar tayaar ho jau, 10 minute me aata hu neeche.", Arjun fir seedha apne kamre me chal dia, upar wali manjil par. Yaha ab bharpoor shanti thi kyonki teeno kamro me rehne walo me se sirf Arjun he idhar tha. Almari me kuch dhoondta woh thoda nischint hua he tha ki seene par lipte ye najuk hath aur peeth par 2 naram gole mehsoos karte he Arjun ne aankhe band kar li. Almari araam se band karta woh bola.
"Itne dino baad aaj aapko yaad aai hai Aarti didi."
"Tumhe pata hai na, didi aur ghar me itne logo ke samne main pas nahi aane wali. Ab na rok saki jab tumhe idhar aate dekha toh.", Ye Aarti didi he thi aur Arjun se chipki hui woh behad khush najar aa rahi thi. Abhi tak unko Arjun ka ehsaas yaad tha.
"Aur thodi der baad main school chala jaunga.", Arjun ne unka ek hath thamne ke baad unki taraf mudte hue kaha. Dheele top aur pajame me woh hamesha ki tarah mosoom si alhadd ladki lag rahi thi, chasme ke bina. Arjun dusra hath kamar ke peeche lagata unhe sath lagaye pyaar se niharne laga.
"Toh kya hua? Lekin 2 minute toh hamare pas hai na.", Unki baat sunkar aaj din chadhne se pehle he woh teesri yuvti ko choomne laga tha. Aarti ke bhi hath uski peeth par kaste Arjun ko khud se chipkane lage. Aarti ke dono honth buri tarah geele ho chuke the aur 1 minute baad woh hanfti hui muskura rahi thi.
"Ho gai aaj meri goodmorning. Baad me milte hai.", Unki halki kampti taange dekh Arjun shararti muskaan dene laga.
"Gande. Ye hota hai jab tumhare pas aati hu.", Aur woh badi hawa ki gati se waha se nikal chali.

Mohar Singh ghar me ho rahi gatividhi ke baare me toh kuch nahi jaanta tha lekin mamla kuch gadbad jarur lag raha tha. Apni soch me he dooba woh nohre me baitha tha. Abhi nashta karne ke baad woh hukka tayaar he kar raha tha ke sath he ghar ki harek bareek baat par gor karne laga.
'Pehle aai thi Sheela aur sath Bheem. Fer 2 din baad Sushila gai thi sehar arr fer ya Shabnam neem andhere me seedhi Sushila ke gail. Chokha mamla hai koi jo manne ni bata re yo log. Kaal Bijender Mangeram arr Gollu ke sath gaya tha woh bhi jeep me tadke. Aaya sanjh ne. Raat Shabnam chaske leve thi jis tarah leve thi woh tarika tha akelepan ka. Matlab ko badi tension se. Hmmm. Manne ni bata re matbal mere pe inka bharosa koni lekin kaam chokha badda hai.' Mohar Singh ko jaise sabhi log kamtar aank rahe the lekin ye alag he praani tha. Zindgai bhar sahi samay par galat nirnaya aur galat samay par sahi jaise iski kismat he thi.
"Ram Ram mama, ke gyaan?", Ye Bijender he tha jo Sultan ko apne sath leke nohre me chakkar lagane aaya tha.
"Laadle tu aajkal dikhe he koni. Kade maame ke sath sukh dukh batla lia kar."
"Mama tera dukh toh mai bhi samjhu su. Lekin aaj kimme chintit lagge hai.", Bijender nivar ki buni lohe ki kursi par samne baith gaya.
"Dekh beta main tera mama kam aur dost jyada su. Dil me ek baat ghane tame teh thi lekin aaj thoda pareshan hu kyunki kimme thik na laag reha toh kisi durghatna teh pehla bata dena he thik hai.", Mohar Singh ne hukke ka pipe kapde se chamkate hue kapda ek taraf rakha aur apne lambe chaude bhanje ko dekhte hue kehne laga. Bijender ke dil me bhi mama ki aisi awaaj sunnkar ek darr sa baith gaya.
"Dekh beta, tu hai bhola arr hamesha seedhi soch wala arr tera mama bahot kapti. Lekin bera hai manne aajtak kade tera bura ni chaha.", Mohar Singh chupp ho gaya toh Bijender ashaant.
"Mama seedha bata mere pehalwan dimag mai ye aadi baat konya samajh aati."
"Tu jis se pyaar kare hai woh tere se koni kare. Jo tere se pyaar kare hai tu jaane koni. Baaki Sushila ne sirf tanne ek hathiyar ki tarya tayaar karya hai, bete ki tarah na. Mama arr Bhanja ne 2 ek jihse dil hove hai beta. 2 baar maa aave hai mama me.", Mohar Singh kahi gehri baat kar gaya tha.
"mama, main kise teh pyaar ni karda. Arr manne kaun pyaar kare hai. Maa wali baat maan li lekin aulaad hu uski main. Jo banega woh karunga uski khatir.", Bijender dimag wala nahi tha jo aisi baatein samajhta woh seedha aur ek raste chalne wala tha.
"Babita teri konni hove aaj likhwa le. Na Sushila kade hon degi. Anupama tere se jadd se pyaar kare hai jadd tu aathvi me tha aur wa teesri me. Aaj bhi tere kapde wah dhove hai arr press kare hai. Sirf teri roti ghar me wa bana ke uddeek kare hai ke tu khave fer waah nishchint ho ke took todd sake. Akshara fer bhi haand le hai lekin Anupama teri awaaj sune paache he bahar likde hai. Manne maaran ka jee kar reha hoga tera lekin jee aur kada karr le. Sushila ne jung shuru ki thi ya jad uska byaah bhi konya hoya tha. Char pariwar ek the arr khoob pyaar tha aapas me.", Bijender sach me gusse se apne mama ko dekh raha tha.
"Maar diye lekin poore 10 minute de manne bhi. Teri maa koni aati aade aaj."
"Main sunu hu tu bol mama."
"Sushila mare thi Shankar pe lekin uska pyaar thi Madhulata. Shankar ne teri maa bebe keh ke taal di thi is nohre me he jadd Fateh, Umed bahar daru peeve the. Ya gusse me kar gi byaar tere baap gail ar sath le mari Madhulata ne, Pandit ji ne nyu keh ke Shankar ne teri maa gail jabarjasti karan ki koshish ki. 3 pariwar jude the Rameswar ji ke gail arr Shankar chuskya bi koni jadd Madhulata teri chachi bana di gai. Baap ki ijjatt arr sabka bhala he sochya tha usne. Lekin Sushila arr Sheela ne milke jo aa aag lagai usme sab jhulas gaye fer. Goli chaali, Raghubir ka pariwar aadha khatam hoya arr fer bera ni ke kuch hoya jo main keh koni saku. Shankar gail mera 36 ka aakda hai ya baat main kahu hu. Main teri maa ki wajah se jail gaya arr paache usne teri maami fasa li. Lekin waa 2 aadmiya ki ladaai hai, pariwar ki konya. Teri maa Bindu gail milke teri daadi na marwa de toh kahiye beta. Yaa mahare baap ke bhi haath na aave thi toh hum toh khair chhote haa.", Mohar Singh ne hukke ko bujhte dekha toh kash kheenchne laga udhar Bijender ke chehre par hawaaiyan udd rahi thi.
"Mama, teri ek bhi baat saachi hoi toh main ghar chhod dunga."
"Tu ghar sambhal beta. Anupama ke kamre me ghuss ek bari arr dekh waa pagal ke chahve hai. Yu jayedaad ke 4 hisse hai lekin byaah kar arr 3 tere ek Sushila ka. Lekin jor jabardasti koni. Haan Shankar ke sath takkar lein ki socho ho toh ye Bheem-Bhum neere khassi hai uske syaami. Teri gardan pakad ke rubber si kheench dega is umar me bhi woh.", Bijender hairaan tha ye sunnkar
"Uska chhora lapetan ke chakkar me hu main.", Bijender ne seedhi baat ki.
"Bawligaand ho gaya tu. Kiski baat kare hai bera hai? Teri daadi ne phone laga liye arr number na ho toh mere se lele. Khudkhusi ka yu idea bhi teri maa ka hoga.", Mohar Singh shayad jarurat se jyada jaanta hua bhi chup rehta tha.
"Ke matlab hai mama? Woh chhota baalak hai 17-18 ka."
"Teri marji bhai. Aur sabne pata hai ke tu usne koni maare. Tera chacha laage hai na Shankar, teri maa ne toh byaah hoye baad bhi thaam donua ne koni rokya tha milan se. Bhadke toh bahot thi waah lekin maksad tha ke tu Shankar jissa bane. Bann na sakta jitne marji janam lele. Kaushalya ji Shankar ne jann sake thi aur jaamya bhi. Ek teri daadi ke syaami koi chaati chaudi karek baith saki hai toh Kaushalya chachi hai baaki sab toh aankh na tha ke dekh sakde.", Mohar fir se hukka gudgudane laga.
"Tu Arjun ke baare me kuch batave tha mama."
"Naa kuch na batata main. Meri bakwaas bahot hogi arr dekh koi aaya hai.", Ye Anupama he thi jo sar pe peela dupatta liye Bijender se najar na milati bada peetal ka gilas saamne karti hui boli.
"Ji aapka doodh lyaai thi.", Bijender ne aaj pehle baar dekha tha mama ki baat kuch hadd tak thik thi Anupama ke baare me. Woh najre nahi milati thi uske sath. Lekin Bijender ka har kaam wahi karti aai thi.
"Tu 2 minute aade baith Anupama mama gail main aau hu.", Sakuchati si woh baithne ki jagah aage bhainso ki taraf chal di jo Bijender ne bhi dekh lia tha. Woh apne baap ko kabhi pasand nahi karti thi. Bijender ghar ki dusri manjil par teji se chadhta hua Anupama aur Akshara ke kamro ke saamne aa khada hua. Anupama ka darwaja saankal se band tha jisko kholta woh andar aa gaya.
Saaf aur bilkul sambhal kar rakha kamra tha woh. Himmat karta woh bister ke pas aaya aur gadda takiye ke pas se uthate hue dekha toh waha 5x7"ki Bijender ki tasvir thi jispe lipstick lage honth chappe the. Fir idhar udhar dekh toh kuch khaas na mila lekin almari kholte he uski school ki shirt Anupama ke kapdo me ek taraf rakhi thi. Yaha 2 passport size ki dono ki photo almari me biche akhbaar ke neeche se usko mili aur sath he band dabbi me uski dil ke akaar ki photo par likha 'I Love B'. Bijender ke hath kaamp uthe. Woh sab waise he chhodta hua kamre se bahar chal dia, us hare telephone ko dekhe bina.

Annu aaj school nahi aai thi aur Arjun ko ye pata chala tha nayi Physics ki teacher ke aane pe. Ye ek 40 ke lagbhag umar ki mahila thi jo pehle din sirf pichla padhaya jaan-ne ke baad wahi dohra kar chali gai thi. Abhi ghanti he baji thi ki Miss Charul, jo pehle he bahar khadi thi andar aa gai.
"Chaliye fir sabhi line se ground me.", Arjun unki baat sunnkar baaki sabke he sath bahar nikal chala. Koi jaan-pehchan ka dikhawa kiye bina. Charul ne bhi koshish ki thi ki woh baat na he kare aise lekin andekhi se tees toh chubhi thi. Sabhi bahar aane ke baad apne mann-mutabik khel me lag gaye the lekin is baar Arjun basketball liye khud he court ki taraf ja raha tha. Miss Charul gor se dekh rahi thi usko kyonki baaki 7 ladke peeche he the. Unke waha aane se pehle he Arjun ne is kinare se 22 feet dur jaali ki taraf ball uchaal di thi.
"Waah. Sushil, dekha kya?", Ball lohe ke ring me sarr se ghusti court par aa giri lekin Arjun Dinesh ki baat na sunta baal ki taraf badha aur fir unki taraf mooh karte hue peeche se ball net me daalta Sushil ke pas aa khada hua. Woh sabhi aankhe faade dekh rahe the jo Arjun ne 1 minute me kia tha.
"Maaf karna dost. Meri game barabar ki nahi hai aur main ye khelna bhi nai chahta.", Baaki hatprabh se usko dekhne lage aur woh kinare par aa baitha. Taange pasarte hue.
"Bhai sahi keh raha hai woh. Game toh aisi hai jaise court ka inch-inch pata ho. Saale ke dole ni dekhe aur sateek throw bhi un bade shoulder ki wajah se he lagta hai. Aaj uske bina he khelte hai. Jo team best karegi Arjun next time dusri ke taraf se khelega.", Dinesh ki baat par baaki sabne bhi samarthan jataya lekin woh fir bhi hariaan toh the he.
"Dara rahe ho bacho ko?", Charul waha uske pas khud he chali aai thi. Lekin school ki wajah se barabar baith nahi sakti thi.
"Nahi. Bas bataya tha ke mere liye kuch bhi khel nahi hai. Jab khelta hu toh dil se nahi toh nahi."
"Naraaj ho na mujhse? I am really sorry Arjun. 3 din se main ye kehna chahti thi lekin na tumne mauka dia na Annu ne tumhe mera sandesh dia. Mujhe inki parwah nahi hai lekin sach me main apne kiye par sharminda hu. Annu ka dil bada hai ya tumhare kehne par usne mujhe maaf kia ho lekin meri galti maan-ne ke liye mujhe kisi jagah ki parwah nahi hai.", Charul kaan pakadne he wali thi ki Arjun ne naa me gardan hilate hue mana kar dia.
"Pyaar karne lagi ho mujhse? Saheli ka dost hu aur fir chhoti behan ke sath meri baaki ki girlfriends? Majaak ke waqt bhi tumhara dhyaan sirf is baat par tha ke kyon woh itni asaani se aapke dil ki baat keh rahi thi. Gulabi rumaal ko jo bhi tumne samjha woh shaayad gusse aur anjaane me. Lekin mujhe toh gussa nahi aaya bas waha rukta toh baat badh jarur jaati. Chhoti behan badi ko kuch mere saamne kehti toh apmaan lagta, dosti toot jaati Annu se kyonki waha dimag toh aapka bhi garam he tha. Kai baar dur jana he behtar hota hai bajaye ke wahi rukne se. Mujhe koi shikayat nahi hai.", Arjun apne dosto ki taraf dekhne laga jo ab poori koshish se throw ki practice kar rahe the bajaye ki match lagane ke.
"Annu sunday ko ja rahi hai aur usne school chhodd dia hai. Tum mile us se?"
"Haan kal 6 baje main uske sath he ghar pe tha. Woh samajhdar hai bas thoda dhyaan dena padta hai. Shayad aap uske baad he gai hongi unke ghar.", Arjun ne apne feete thode dheele karte hue paanv ghaas par seedhe kar liye the.
"Haan, dinner pe gai thi. Lekin usne tumhare baare me koi khaas baat nahi ki."
"Aapko behtar pata hoga kyo nahi ki? Dost toh purani hai aapki woh."
"Haan isliye ki usko firse sab yaad na aaye. lekin tum kya chahte ho? Main yaha tumse maafi maangne aai thi aur iski badi wajah hai ke mera dhyaan nahi lag raha. So nahi paa rahi hu aur jaise poori duniya ko meri parwah nahi hai."
"Fir Pink pasand hai aapko?", Arjun ka ye kaisa jawaab ya sawaal tha. Woh bina Charul ko dekhe aisi baat kar gaya tha ke Charul ektak usko dekhne lagi thi.
"You moron. Tum sach me ek ghatiya insaan ho. Main he jaane kya kya soch rahi thi lekin tum deserve nahi karte."
"Matlab pasand hai aapko? Atchi baat hai. Khoobsurat ho aur gussa bhi bahot hai aapme toh suit karta hai. Gora rang gulabi tabhi toh hota hai.",
"Kaisi baatein kar rahe ho tum? I'm your PE instructor and sports incharge."
"Than you must behave like one. this is an educational institution not our gossip coffee table Miss Charul. If you make me comfortable speaking unnecssary friendly things than I must go with the flow. Sorry. You can mark my absent or punish accordingly, within protocol.", Arjun ka ye swaroop bilkul alag tha. Charul chupchap waha se chal di thi. Aankho me aansu jaise taise roke woh najar bachati hui teacher's bathroom ki aur chal di. Idhar Arjun joote khol kar us ghaans ke maidaan ki taraf chal dia jo 200 meter lamba tha. Halke kadmo se chalta woh khudko sehaj kar raha tha aur fir kameej bahar karta daudne ke liye bane andkaar gole me bhaagne laga.
"Ye pagal hai kya? Nange paanv kabse daud raha hai. Lekin stamina bahot hai yaar dekh toh jara.", Ye ladki unki he class ki thi aur Koyal se baat kar rahi thi Arjun ko lagatar 15 minute se bhagte dekh kar. Charul bhi ab idhar seedhiyo ke paas aa gai thi aur inki baatein sunai de gai thi usko. Ek najar Arjun ko dekh kar woh Koyal ki baat sunn-ne lagi.
"Punishment hogi jaise Miss Annu ne di thi. Atcha hai lekin thoda seedhi baat kar deta hai bechara. Miss Charul ne bhi laga dia aaj daudne isko.", Koyal baat khatam karti peeche baithne aai toh apni teacher ko dekh kar seham si gai. Fir sorry bolti thodi dur jaa kar kitab khole baith gai.
'Ye aise nahi maanega kabhi. Har baat ki hadd tak jaane ka junoon hai toh fir aise he sahi.' Miss Charul Arjun ko dekhti hui khudse keh rahi thi. Woh eksaar raftar se ab 20 minute se jyada der se daud raha tha.
"Class may go now.", Charul ki is awaaj par sabhi chupchap line se andar ki taraf badh liye aur Arjun jaise apni dhun me he laga raha. Ground khali hote he Charul uski taraf chal di.
"Ruk jao Arjun.", Is awaaj se jaise woh dheema hota kuch aage ja kar ruk gaya. Kameej geeli ho kar paseena tapka rahi thi aur chehra abhi bhi shaant lekin paseene se sana hua.
"Ji Miss."
"Sorry. Aur main confuse thi. Mujhe tumse baat karni hai school ke baad."
"Aaj possible nahi hai. Aur aapko sorry kehne ki jarurat bhi nahi."
"Bhav kha rahe ho?", Charul ne uske chehre ko dekhte hue kaha
"Ladki nai hu main. Aur aaj jaruri kaam hai isliye mumkin nahi. Kal main samay nikaal lunga agar Annu se milna na hua toh."
"Annu fir beech me aa gai? Mujhe tumse baat karni hai, akele me."
"Thik hai Annu kamre se chali jayegi. Kal 3 baje uske he ghar. Ab chalta hu.", ghanti ki awaaj sunte he woh andar daud gaya. Charul ko ek aur pareshani me chhod kar.
Baaki period bhi aasha anurup he gujre lekin chutti ke waqt Menaka khud Arjun ke sath school se nikli thi. Uski car se. Arjun araam se baitha car ke dashboard me rakha samaan dekh raha tha jo kuch khaas na tha.
"Sab thik toh hai?"
"Haan, kyo aapke sath thik nahi hai kya?", Arjun ne jaise he Menaka ko sadak par dhyaan dete dekha toh sawaal kar lia.
"Sab thik hai. Mera matlab tha ke tum aaye nahi na ghar isliye."
"Ab Manju ke samne toh main kuch karne se raha. Parso aaunga fir dekhte hai ke lunch karwati ho aap ya dinner.", Arjun ki masti dekh woh bhi gambhir mahol khatam karti hansne lagi.
"Tum sach me alag he ho yar. Shaam ko kya irada hai fir?"
"Stadium aur fir ghar. Aaj sirf taaiji hai ghar pe aur aarti didi. Aap bhi chalo na, wahi khana kha lena."
"Nahi Arjun, aaj nahi kal. Chalo tum utro main nikalti hu. Manju ke sath thoda market jana hai. Milti hu jald.", Ghar ke bahar usko utarti woh aage chal di lekin Arjun khada dekhta raha jaati hui Menaka ko. Menaka bechain thi aur kuch chupa bhi rahi thi kyonki Manju ki scooty uske ghar ke bahar khadi thi is waqt.
