Update 105
Khel -1
Arjun thoda deri se aaya tha lekin kisi ne jyada sawal nahi kiye. Aaj bahar Col Puri ne apne aadmi Muneer ko dekhbhal ke liye laga dia tha. Raat 10 se subah 6 tak woh ek din ke liye Pandit ji ke ghar tha. Arjun 5 minute Muneer se baat karne ke baad andar chal dia. Komal didi naha kar apne kamre me gayi thi aur Arjun khamoshi se apni maa ke pas aa gaya.
"Mil aaya Walia ji se?", Rekha ji bhi store se gown pehan kar bed ke pas he aai thi.
"Ji maa. Uncle aunty ne dinner rakha tha, kal unki beti England ja rahi hai isliye. Sandhu Sir bhi aaye the toh thoda samay lag gaya. Aaj main yahi sone wala hu.", Arjun ne pehli baar khudse he table par rakhe apne kapde liye aur store me jaa kar badalne laga. Maa abhi bhi baat kar rahi thi.
"Pehle toh nahi bataya ke tum Walia ji ke ghar bhi aate-jaate ho. Waise unke ek beta aur beti hai na? Beta bhi England he rehta hai.", Bister ko thik karte hue Rekha ji ne poocha.
"Haan, woh England me he married hai aur Annu naam hai unki beti ka jo Physics me research program ke liye waha ja rahi hai. Uncle se jyada aunty ke sath meri jamti hai. Annu meri teacher thi thode samay ke liye aur Sandhu ji ki beti ki sagaai ke waqt atche se pehchaan hui thi sabse.", Arjun bahar aane ke baad apna purse, rumaal aur woh uphaar table par rakhne ke baad maa ke barabar leit gaya. Ab badi light ki jagah woh zero ka bulb roshan tha. Rekha ji hamesha sone se pehle nahati thi aur ab Arjun ko wahi mehak aa rahi thi jis se usko sukoon milta tha. Lekin aaj woh bas unki taraf araam se karwat liye leta raha.
"Atche log hai aur tere papa ke dost bhi hai Walia ji. Bas aana jaana kam ho gaya pichle 6-7 saal se. Teri papa ki transfer ho gayi aur unka beta bhi bahar chala gaya. Lekin tere papa ko samay milta hai toh milne jaate rehte hai.", Rekha ji ne halke hatho se apni najuk ungliya Arjun ke sar par firane lagi, sukoon dene ke liye.
"Aunty bhi bahot atchi hai. Mera bahot dhyaan rakhti hain aur main bhi unke sath ludo khelta hu toh kabhi kitchen me help karwa deta hu.", Arjun ne ghutne modte hue apna sar takiye se niche laate hue chehra gown ke saamne kar dia. Rekha ji ne bhi ek pal ke liye hath sar se hata kar chain kholi aur upar wala ubhar Arjun ke saamne kar dia. Nipple abhi halka sooja hua tha aur ek pal dekhne ke baad Arjun ne hontho me bhar lia. Rekha ji fir se uska sar sehlane lagi sath he dono ki aankhe kuch pal ke liye band ho gayi.
"Woh hamesha se he aisi hain. Logo se milkar unhe khushi milti hai aur jaldi he sab par bharosa kar leti hai. Bas unka beta bahar chala gaya toh unhone bhi khud ko badal lia. Ab pehle jaisi nahi rahi.", Rekha ji Arjun ka sar sehlati hui khud bhi bada halka mehsoos karne lagi thi. Stanno ka bojh Arjun halka karta hua unhe araam pahucha raha tha. Woh aage kuch baatein karti us se pehle he woh neend me ja chuka tha.
'Bilkul nahi badla, le thodi der ye wala pee.', Arjun ko soye me bhi doodh peeta dekh woh muskurane lagi aur nichla ubhar uske hontho me daal kar khud bhi aankhen band karke Arjun se lipat gayi.

Crime-branch ki ye imarat shehar se 5-6 kilometer bahar thi jaha chardiwari ke beech 2 ekad jaamen ko atche se vriksho se susajjit rakha gaya tha. Thik beech me ye 2 manjila imarat me kayi kamre aur daftar the aur inme se he ek kamre me ye 55-56 saal ka robila sa aadmi ek kursi par baitha jaam pee raha tha. Chehre par jamane bhar ka gussa tha aur is jagah par hone ki bebasi. Jaam peete hue woh khaas tarike se honth bheenchta apne saamne baithe vyakti ko nafrat se dekh raha tha.
"Sir, mujhse kya narajgi hai? Murga, sharaab aur udhar khaas gadda bhi lagwa diya maine aapke liye fir bhi 2 shabd tarif ki jagah gussa dikha rahe ho.", Save 6 feet ka ye 26-28 varshiya aadmi muskura raha tha. Sharir bhi majboot aur haav-bhav bhi ek kabil afsar ke the.
"Tum ohde me barabar ho Deepak lekin main senior hu tumhara. Behanchod tum sab logo ki kya halat karunga woh dekh kar tumhara rona na nikal gaya toh main bhi ek baap ka nahi.", Dushyant shaam se yahi band tha aur DIG ke jaane ke baad ab dekhbhal aur poochtach ka jimma is naujawaan ke pas tha. Sasti sharaab aur kamchalau si plastic ki plate me rakhe tandoori murge se woh atchi seva kar raha tha Dushyant Malik ki.
"Sir, maine toh rank ki baat he nahi ki. Aap mere senior hai isliye toh aapke liye peg bana raha hu. Aajtak hath nahi lagaya in dono cheejo ko lekin dekhiye aapke liye ye bhi kar raha hu. Aap toh mera khayal rakhne ki jagah gaali de rahe hai.", Deepak waise he muskurate hue fir se jaam banane laga. Yaha na baraf thi aur na thanda paani. Lekin ghade ke paani se bhi kaam chal he raha tha.
"2 crore. 2 crore 24 ghante me tumhare pas honge bas mere 2 kaam kar do.", Dushyant ne woh adhpaka sa maans ka tukda utha kar chabate hue kaha. Thoda bahot bahar bhi gir raha tha jaise bhookh joro ki lagi ho.
"Itna toh hamare poore gaanv me kisi ne dekha nahi hoga. 2 crore ke liye toh main sabko maarne ke liye tayaar hu.", Abhi dono baatein kar he rahe the ki ek Constable ne halke se darwaja khatkhataya aur andar aa gaya. Salaam karte hue woh jaise aadesh ka intjaar karne laga tha.
"Raunak jara bahar gasht laga lo aur baaki sabse bhi kehna ke yaha jaruri kaam chal raha hai.", Deepak ki baat sunn kar haan me sar hilane ke baad fir se salaam bajaya aur bahar chala gaya.
"Main keh raha tha ke 2 crore tumhare pas aur bas 2 kaam karne hai.", Dushyant ne ek chota sa ghoont peene ke baad baat jaari ki lekin jawaab me Deepak ne bas sehmati jatayi jaise pooch raha ho ke poori baat kaho.
"Rajpal aur Amrik ke bayaan ke sath he mere khilaf jo balatkaar aur hatya ke saboot jama kiye gaye hai woh bina chhed-chaad ke mujhe chahiye. Aur yaha se Delhi tak jaane ka intjaam. Ye 2 kaam ke badle 2 crore. Kya kehte ho?"
"Deal buri nahi hai aur main koshish karta hu lekin aadhe paise abhi chahiye.", Deepak ne apna paksh rakhte hue thodi gambhirta se Dushyant ko dekha.
"Phone ka intjaam karwao, ek crore main abhi tumhari kahi jagah bhijwa deta hu.", Dushyant ke itna kehte he Deepak kursi se uth khada hua aur darwaja band karke sath wale kamre se ek lambi taar wala telephone lekar fir se andar aa gaya.
"XXXX dukaan ke bahar mera aadmi milega Modal town me, paisa uske pas pahuchana hai. Ek crore milte he main aapko yaha se bahar bhijwa dunga aur baaki paisa saboot dete samay main khud lunga. Delhi aap kal nikalna aaj raat Hotel Tulip me mere khas kamre me rahiye.", Deepak ki baat sunn kar Dushyant ke chehre par khushi chaa gayi. Number milane se pehle usne kaha.
"Ek kaam karo fir. Apne aadmi ko Tulip he aane ko kaho, wahi 2 crore de deta hu aur raat ki thakaan dur karke wahi se Delhi nikal jaunga. Saboot mera aadmi tumse le lega.", Dushyant jarurat se jyada he kadiyal aur harami insaan tha. Jiska vishwas Deepak ko bhi nahi tha lekin usne rajamandi jata di aur Dushyant number milane laga.
"Satte, anaaj mandi waale godaam se 2 crore atche se bag me bhar kar Tulip hotel pahuch aadhe ghante me. Sath he raat ke liye ek najrana bhi, thoda kamsin sa.", Itna bol kar saamne wale ki thodi baat sunn kar Dushyant ne phone rakha aur Deepak se apne aadmi ko ghante baad bulane ko kaha.Deepak ne bhi apne aadmi ko phone karke hotel se paisa lene ko kaha ek ghante baad. Hatho me hathkadi pehante hue woh Dushyant ko le kar bahar aa gaya. Kisi ne sawaal nahi kia apne afsar se aur maruti 800 me baitha kar Deepak Dushyant ko bade araam se bahar nikaal le aaya. Raste me bas 2-4 baat hui aur car 10 minute baad he is sadharan se hotel ke bahar aa ruki. Hathkadi khol kar Deepak khud he Dushyant ki taraf ka darwaja khol kar usko liye hotel me aa gaya.
"Mera kamra khali hai?", Deepak ne counter par baithe jawaan se ladke ko poocha aur usne muskurate hue khade ho kar ek chabi hawale kar di.
"Mera koi dost ya sahab ko puchne koi aaye toh 204 me bhej dena. Khaas hai apne.", Deepak ne 50 ka note dete hue ladke ko khudh kia aur kamre ki taraf chal dia. Dusri manjil par 4 kamre the aur sabse aakhiri wale ko khol kar Deepak ne Dushyant ko kamra dikhaya aur araam karne ka bol kar wapis chala gaya.
"Chutiya sala. Kisne police me bharti kar dia gaandu ko? Iski gaand bhi atche se maarunga.", Dushyant bister par baithne ki jagah khidki ke pas khada bahar dekhne laga. Jald he Deepak apni maruti car ko chalata waha se gayab ho gaya jaise Dushyant par usko poora vishwas ho. Lekin Dushyant mucho par hath firata wahi khada raha jabtak bahar ek aur gaadi na aa kar ruk gayi. Ye uske he aadmi the aur 2 log gaadi me baithe rahe bas ek aadmi aur ek jawaan ladki hotel ki taraf badh gaye.
"Khel khelne se pehle jara paani nikal he lu.", Lund ko patloon ke upar se khujate hue woh bister par baith gaya. Pehle sharaab ka halka suroor tha aur ab aane wali ladki ke liye uttejjana me nasha doguna ho raha tha. Jald he darwaje par dastak hui.
"Satte dil khush kar dia, saali kya hoor lekar aaya hai.", Darwaja kholta hua Dushyant kahi jyada he khush tha. Lekin anjaam toh sapne me bhi nahi socha tha jo ho gaya. Mooh par jordaar mukka lagte he bhaari sharir bister par ja gira.
"Aaj ye mehmaan-navaaji ka mauka galti se mujhe mil gaya hai Malik.", Naak aur hontho se behte khoon se jyada dard toh saamne khade aadmi ko dekh kar dil me hone laga tha Dushyant Malik ko. Na Satte aaya tha aur na ladki lekin Jallad jarur khada tha jiske chehre par jamane bhar ki thandak aur bhoori aankho me khaas chamak thi.
Hotel ke bahar bhi ab na woh gaadi thi aur na un logo me se kisi ka nishan. Sabkuch Dushyant ki marji se nahi hua tha.

Saadhe 4 baje Arjun ki aankh khuli toh dono ubhar uske chehre par the. Unse aati woh sondhi mehak atche se saanso me bharne ke baad woh savdhani se apni maa ka hath takiye par rakhte hue kamre se bahar nikal kar bathroom me aa gaya. Agle 15 minute me he woh naha dho kar bahar aa chuka tha. Kapde maa ke he kamre me the aur toliya lapete woh andar aa gaya. Rekha ji bhi uth chuki thi aur Arjun ko tayaar hote dekh uske pas aa khadi hui.
"Neend atchi aai?"
"Best.", Arjun ne track pajame ke upar tshirt pehan li thi. Aur maa ke khoobsurat chehre ko itne kareeb dekh kar ab jyada sabar na kar saka. Woh motte honth chehra dhule bina bhi rass se bhare the jinpar apne honth rakhta woh ye gehra chumban karne laga. Jism par kahi hath na lagate hue dono kuch pal is lamhe me qaid rahe aur alag hote he Rekha ji najre jhukaye jaane lagi.
"Galti ho gayi kya maa?", Arjun ne unki kalai pakadte hue poocha.
"Pagal hai tu. Bathroom jaane de.", Woh muskurai toh Arjun ke dil ko swarg sa ehsaas hua. Unke haseen chehre aur bikhri julfo ko dekhta woh hath thaame khada raha.
"Jaane de na Arjun.", Is baar hosh me aate he woh unse pehle kamre se bahar nikal gaya.
'Pagla kahi ka. Mooh bhi dhone ki parwah nahi ki.', Uske bahar nikalte he Rekha ji ne wahi geela toliya kuch soch kar uthaya aur wo bhi nahane ke liye chali gayi. Arjun joote pehan kar bahar ja chuka tha aur jaane se pehle Muneer ko bhi thande paani ki bottle pakdate hue haal-chaal pooch gaya tha. Mausam me halki umas thi lekin fir bhi sukoon bhara aur shaant mahol tha. Halke kadmo se daudta Arjun aaj kuch duvidha me tha lekin kuch sochta hua woh park ki aur badh gaya.
"Aaj bechain ho kuch.", Jaane kaise Aacharya ji uska dil najar bhar me he padh lete the.
"Aisa kuch nahi hai guru ji. Bas kal ka din thoda jyada he vyast tha aur neend bhi tukdo me he leni padi.", Unke paanv choone ke baad Arjun 10 minute daudne ka bol kar patri par tej kadmo se bhaagne laga. Aacharya ji shaant-bhav se usko daudte dekh apne naram joote ek taraf rakhte hari ghaans par chehal kadmi karne lage. Aise me bhi woh aankhen band karte gehri saanse le rahe the. Fir is hisse ke thik beech me ghaans par baithte hue unhone padmasan ki mudra dharan kar li. Arjun poore 5 chakkar lagane ke baad unke paas aaya toh woh bhi sharir ko dheela chhod kar araam se baith gaye.
"Toh ab batao ke pareshan kyo ho?", Sawaal wahi tha aur Arjun ke chehre ka paseena bhi jaise uske bhaav na chupa paya.
"Ek dost hai, khaas. Woh aaj ja rahi hai 3 saal ke liye desh se bahar. Raat main dinner par bhi gaya tha uski khushi ke liye aur woh bhi surprise karte hue. Waha se aate hue mere kadam sath nahi de rahe the dada ji. Lekin main maa ke pas soya toh sab bhool kar gehri neend li. Lekin ghar se bahar aate he aaj kadam yaha aana nahi chahte the aur main waha jana nahi chahta.", Arjun kuch pal jhuk kar khade hone ke baad fir aacharya ji ke bagal me he ghaas par paanv failate hue baith gaya. Aacharya ji bhi sab dhyaan se sunn rahe the aur Arjun ko padh rahe the.
"Tum wahi jaana chahte ho lekin khud ko kamjor sabit nahi karna chahte beta. Us dost ki khushi ke liye tumne raat jo kia woh sahi tha lekin ab tumhara apni khushi ko dabana galat hai. Jiski parwah ho uske dard me shamil hona jitna jaruri hai utna he jaruri hai us se tab milna jab tumhe bhi khushi ki jarurat ho. Kabhi kabhi aise pyaare swaarth karna jaruri hai.", Aacharya ji ne peeth par halki thaki dete hue jaise Arjun ko khada hone ko kaha.
"Galat nahi lagega?"
"Lagega na, agar tum waqt rehte bhi naa milne jao toh galat lagega. Aur shayad tum jo aaj kehna chahte ho uski ehamiyat tabb na rahe jab samay ka chakra ghoom jaye.", Aacharya ji bhi khade ho gaye the. Arjun dhyaan se unhe dekhta raha jaise ab woh unhe padhna chahta ho.
"Samay ka ek sahi pal.", Unhone fir se Arjun ko chetaya, muskaan ke sath. Arjun bhi turant unke paanv choo kar waha se nikal bhaaga. Ab kadam asmanjas me na the aur na sharir me kisi tarah ka koi dabaav. Annu se woh pehle uski khushi ke liye mila tha lekin ab woh apne liye us se baat karna chahta tha, batana chahta tha ke Annu ki ehamiyat khaas hai uske jiwan me aur woh bhi usko jarurat se jyada yaad karega jaane ke baad. Kadam khud-ba-khud aa ruke Sardar ji ke ghar ke saamne. Safeed tshirt se paseena paani ki tarah tapak raha tha aur bheege hue baal aankho ke saamne aa rahe the. Ghadi 5:25 baja rahi thi aur Arjun ne bina soche bas dhadakte dil se woh ghanti ka button daba dia.
"Walia ji toh gurudwara sahib chale gaye abhi 5 minute pehle.", Ye awaaj sunte he Arjun ne najar ghumai toh ye aunty wahi thi jo Annu ki mata ji ke paas aati rehti thi. Kaha toh woh himmat karke 2 kilometer ki duri udta hua taye karke aaya tha aur inke shabdo ne sharir he thanda kar dia. Woh bhi itna keh kar hath me doodh ka dallu liye apne raste chali gayi. Gehri saansein leta woh aangan me car ko nadarad dekh kar bhaari kadmo se apne ghar ki aur jaati gali ki taraf badhne laga.
"Arjun.", Yahi awaaj toh thi jiske liye Arjun jaane kitna bechain tha. Sapna na ho bas ye soch kar ek baar fir se najar ghumai toh andar ke darwaje ko khole Annu unindi si khadi Arjun jaisi he halat me thi. Lekin Arjun sajag tha aur is baar woh jaise Annu ko najro se dur nahi hone dena chahta tha. Gate ki kadi khol kar wapis band karta woh palbhar me he Annu ke saamne ja khada hua.
"Tum nahi jaanti mere sath kya ho raha hai.", Annu ne Arjun ki haalat dekhi toh saari neend kafur ho gayi. Uska hath pakadti woh usko andar karte he darwaja band karke peeth lagaye khadi ho gayi. Dhadkan apni chahat ko yu saamne dekh kar bekaabu ho chuki thi. Bhagwan kya kar raha hai uske saath aur Arjun aise kaise. Lekin dil ke saamne sab samikaran aur ummeede ek taraf karti woh uske paseene se bhare jism se ja lagi. Aisi prabhat hogi ye dono ne kaha socha tha. Aankhon se aansu sab baandh todd kar behte hue Arjun ke seene par aaye paseene me ghulne lage. Dono ke pyaar ki tarah.
"I love you Annu, main is baar khud ye kehne ke liye aaya hu. Jitna bhi kahu ke main thik hu aur hum dono fir milenge lekin ek sach ye bhi hai ke mere dil ka ek hissa tumhari yaad me soona rahega. Maine kabhi mehsoos nahi kia tha ke pyaar karne wala agar dur ho jaye toh kaisa lagta hai lekin kal raat main tumhare sath rehna chahta tha. Kal raat main tumhare liye aaya tha lekin aaj apne liye, hamare liye mujhe tumse milna tha.", Arjun bhi kaske Annu ko baahon ke ghere me liye usko seene se lagaye khada tha.
"Ye mere liye bhi mushkil hai aur mujhe bhi tumse akele milna tha jaane se pehle. Bas darr tha ke sabke saamne tumhe dekh kar main koi galti na kar du. I love you jaan.", Aaj Annu ke namkin hontho ka swaad ab tak ka sabse meetha lag raha tha.
"Main tumhe rulane nahi aaya Annu. Batane aaya hu ki tum hamesha mere pas rahogi. Jaane se pehle nahi milna agle 6 mahine tak jarur khalne wala tha.", Arjun un badi aankho ko choomte hue chehre ko saaf karne laga.
"Tumhe itna pyaar kab ho gaya mujhse? Aur dekho kya haal kia hai mera.", Annu ne hali narajgi se Arjun ke seene par mukka maarte hue kaha aur khudki bheegi tshirt dikhane lagi, jaha Arjun ka paseena kapde ko twacha se chipkaye tha.
"Kam ya jyada pyaar kya hota hai mujhe nahi pata. Aur tum meri ho toh pyaar ke sath he pasina bhi barabar milega.", Arjun ne us taaje gulab se chehre ko dono hatho me lete hue ye geela chumband kia toh Annu bhi usko majbooti se pakde barabar sath dene lagi. Lambe kad ke bawjood Annu aedi uchkati upar hone lagi toh Arjun ne kamar thaamte hue chehre ko dekha.
"Mummy papa 7 baje tak aayenge. Har sunday woh is waqt ghar nahi hote.", Arjun ko bhi pata tha ke woh kaha gaye hai lekin kab aayenge ye jaante he kamar se hath niche un bejod maansal kulho par aa gaye. Annu ko uthaye woh uski gardan choomta uske kamre me aa gaya. Yaha bhi dono ek kashish se bhare chumban me doob gaye. Ghadi ke kaanto aur duniya se pare ye 2 jism aur dil ek dusre se lage ek dusre me khone lage.
"Jaane se pehle ek aur baar pyaar nahi karoge?", Annu ka hilta seena aur laal chehra apni haalat bayan kar raha tha. Arjun bas is chehre ko dekh raha tha jo jaane kab dil ki gehrai me apni chhaap bana gaya tha.
"Jismani nahi lekin rumani jarur. Aaj tumhare sath main woh kuch khaas share karna chahta hu. Agle 10 minute tum bas mere sath mera kehna maan lo.", Arjun ne Annu ko farsh par khada karte hue gaal choomte hue kaha aur bathroom se khud ka chehra durust karne ke baad sath liye rasoi me aa gaya.
"Jo ab hum karenge woh tumhare sath hamesha rehne wala hai.", Arjun ne chaai ke bartan me thoda paani daalne ke baad chulhe par ubalne rakha aur Annu ke mehakte jism ko peeche se bahon me liye wahi khada ho gaya.
"Tum mujhe aise waqt chai banana sikha rahe ho?", Annu ne muskurate hue Arjun ke hath apne bade urojo par rakhte hue poocha. Arjun masti karta un dono maansal golo ko dabate hue gori gardan par honth firane laga.
"Hamesha akele rehne se bachne ka tarika bata raha hu. Hostel me seekha tha maine ki khaas pal kaise yaad rakhe jaate hai.", Chaipatti ke dabbe se 2 chammach chai ki ubalte paani me daalne ke baad Arjun 2 minute usko pakata raha. Annu ko toh is sabse koi lena dena na tha, Arjun ka pas hona kaafi tha uske liye. Gilas me woh kaali bina cheeni ki chai chaan kar Arjun ko sath liye woh wapis kamre me aa gaya. Geeli tshirt darwaje par tangi thi aur Annu uski goad me baithi uske seene par hath rakhe halke halke chumban lagataar karti rahi.
"Ek sip lo.", Arjun ne woh gilas saamne badhaya toh sirf chai ki teekhi mehak ek pal ke liye Annu ko bechain karne lagi lekin Arjun ke itna pyaar se kehne par garam uble paani ki chhoti si ghoont mooh me bharte he duniya ke sabse boore jayeke ka ehsaas ho gaya.
"Hahaha.. Bahot bura swaad hai na?", Arjun ne chehre ke bhaav dekhte hue hanste hue kaha.
"yuck.. kya hai ye?", Annu ne mooh ke saamne hath rakhte hue kaha.
"Mera pyaar, hamara pyaar hai ye Annu.", Arjun ne ek ghoont apne hontho se andar karte hue bade araam se swaad ko mehsoos karte hue pee lia. Gilas ek taraf rakhte hue Annu ke hontho se apne honth milate hue is baar jo chumban kia usme dono ke hontho ke sath he jeebh bhi athkheliya karne lagi aur alag hote he Annu ke chehre par hairat ke bhaav the.
"It turned sweet."
"Kaha na ke ye hamara pyaar hai. Jaisa swaad sirf akele mila, dono ke baantne par woh behtar me badal gaya.", Kasaili chai ka swaad bhi ajeeb tha jo baad me meetha ho chuka tha. Is baar Annu ne khud he ghoont bhari toh woh ajeeb mehak utni buri na lagi, woh kadwa paani bhi hontho ke sath jeebh ko tar karta araam se niche utar gaya. Asar bhi aisa tha ke dimag ke nasso ko araam dene wala. 5 minute me 10 ghoont aur 5 gehre meethe chumban. Sharir ko kapdo ke upar se he sehalte hue dono ne pyaar kia aur ghadi me 6:10 ka samay dekhte hue Arjun khada ho gaya.
"Jald milenge Annu. Jab bhi yaad aaye toh ab tumhare pas hamare pyaar ko mehsoos karne ka ek pra-roop hai. Punjab na jana hota toh main ye din tumhare sath he vyatit karta. Inka khayal rakhna.", Aakhiri lafz kehte hue Arjun ne shararat se dono ubharo ko pakadte hue Annu ke hontho ko kass ke choom lia.
"Ye sirf tum he kar sakte ho. Main toh ab inhe hath bhi nahi lagati. Waise thank you for cheering me up. Love you and take care.", Dono hatho ko thaam kar Annu ne Arjun ke dil ke upar kiss kia aur atche se gale lag gai.
"Aunty se milta rahunga aur unhe bata dena ke Arjun apni maa ke sath unhe shaadi ka card dene aayega. Bhaiya aur didi ki shaadi ek sath he hai is 21 May ko. Tumhe bhi photo email karunga.", Darwaje tak aate hue is baar Annu bhi khush thi aur Arjun ki bechaini bhi khatam ho chuki thi. Aangan me bhi Annu ne bina kisi ki parwah ke usko gale laga kar vida kia. Ab Arjun ke paanv us se alag nahi chal rahe the.
Agle aadhe ghante baad woh tayaar ho kar apni behno se milne ke baad Preeti aur Renuka ke sath 10 minute bita kar is Esteem car me baitha tha pichli seat par Aarti aur Priyanka didi ke sath. Agli seat par Lucky Arora aur Deepak steering par the aur Lucky ne he Arjun ka parichaya Deepak se karwaya tha dost ke chhote bhai aur Shankar ji ke suputra ke roop me.
"Chhote bhai pata hai ke tum araam se jaane wale the lekin jara sarkari kaam humko bhi tha aur rajya se bahar police ki gaadi se ja nahi sakte the isliye tumhare sath ho liye. Bharosa dilata hu ke meri wajah se koi vyavdhaan nahi aayega tumhare safar me aur gudiya aap dono bhi nischint rahiyega. Ek he shehar ja rahe hai toh bas safar he sath hoga. Kal mera kaam khatam ho gaya toh shayad wapsi me bhi aap logo ke sath aau nahi toh ye policia aap logo ko jhelna nahi padega.", Deepak hansmukh aur milansaar vyakti tha.
"Bhaiya jaise Lucky bhaiya waise he aap ho hamare liye. Aisa mat sochna ke aap jabardasti hamare sath ja rahe ho, ho sakta hai ke hum log he aapke palle padd gaye ho.", Arjun ne hath milate hue jawaab dia toh sabhi ke chehre par hansi aa gayi. Deepak ne gaadi chalu karte he sahi disha me dauda di. Priyanka didi bahar dekh rahi thi aur Aarti ne chehre par dupatta rakhte hue sona he behtar samjha.
"Waise Arjun ke kisse toh sune he honge tumne Deepak.", Halki fulki baaton me he ghanta gujar gaya tha aur Priyanka didi ke sote he Lucky ne baat shuru ki.
"Agar ye wahi Arjun hai toh maan-na mushkil hai. Waise Arjun bhai tum apne pita se thoda juda ho.", Deepak ne pichle shishe me Arjun ko dekhte hue kaha.
"Haan papa hamesha vyast rehte hai aur main din bhar ghar ke logo ko pareshan karta rehta hu.", Arjun hanste hue bola.
"Arre bhai mera matlab woh nahi tha. Shankar ji toh itne majakiya aur jindadil insaan hai lekin tum lagta hai jyada baatein nahi karte.", Lucky bhi Deepak ki baat sunn raha tha, khamoshi se.
"Bhaiya aisa hai na ke aap ho policewale aur papa bhi sarkari doctor. Aap logo ka majaak chal jata hai lekin mera toh sirf mere retired dada ji ya retired col uncle he jhel sakte hai. On duty waalo se apna thoda dur se namaskar hai.", Arjun ke majaak par dono he hansne lage.
"Wakai dilchasp insaan ho yar. Suna hai boxing ka bhi shauk rakhte ho."
"Haan Sanjiv bhi bata raha tha ke tum atcha kar rahe ho boxing me.", Lucky ne bhi sur me sur milaya.
"Shauk toh hai seekhne ka, jo bhi naya seekhne ko mile main tayaar ho jata hu. Uske alawa toh bas peid-paudhe aur pariwar.", Arjun ki baat sunn kar dheemi awaaj me chalta radio bhi Deepak ne band kar dia. Saaf 15 feet chaudi sadak ke dono taraf hariyale vriksho ki kataar se bas unki he car gujar rahi thi. Kahi kahi koi scooter ya gaadi saamne se unki taraf nikal aati.
"Sudarshan ko tumne he mara tha?", Deepak ne is baar shishe se peeche nahi dekha tha. Arjun ki dono behna araam se soyi hui thi aur Lucky ko bhi jaise is sawaal ki ummeed na thi lekin woh bhi chup he raha.
"Jaisi harkat usne ki thi toh maine wahi kia jo thik laga. Aapko sahanubhuti hai kya Sudarshan se?", Arjun ab Deepak ko tatol raha tha.
"Mera woh matlab nahi tha. Sudarshan par pehle bhi kuch case the aur 2-3 baar usne police team jo usko pakadne gayi thi us par bhi humla kia tha. Sharir tagda hone ke bawjood tum umar me bahot chhote lagte ho aur anubhav me bhi. Kaise kar dikhaya tumne woh sab?", Deepak baat ko samjhate hue poochne laga. Sharir se woh bhi tagda aur lamba tha, shayad Arjun se bhi ek inch uncha.
"Insaan 2 he halaat me soch se jyada kar gujarta hai. Jab baat pariwar ki ho ya fir khud ki jaan ki. Mere sath toh dono sthitiya thi waha.", Arjun bhi utna he jawaab de raha tha jitne me agla sawaal paida ho sake. Deepak kuch der saamne sadak par dekhne laga aur fir agli baat kahi.
"Woh kabaddi sirf shauk ke liye khelta tha lekin kushti aur bharottolan (Weightlifting) me woh professional tha koi 5 saal pehle. Shayad jitni tumhari umar hai us se jyada usko anubhav hai in khelo ka aur sharir bhi lohe sa. Isliye mujhe bas hajam nahi hua tha us waqt ki koi akele he Sudarshan aur uske jaise 4 aur logo ko dhool chata sakta hai. Aur tumhe dekh kar toh ab baat jyada he mannghadant lag rahi hai.", Deepak ki hansi me jaise ek tanz tha. Woh jaane kya soch kar ye sab baat kar raha tha lekin Arjun bhi muskura raha tha.
"Yahi toh jaruri hai. Main bhi nahi chahta ke aap vishwas kare.", Arjun ne jawaab dete hue Aarti didi ke ludhakte sar ke peeche apni baah rakh di, jis se woh bina hile aur araam se soyi rahe.
"Sorry yar. Anjaane me he aisi baatein hone lagi. Waise ek pate ki baat batata hu. Jaha jaa rahe hain waha mahol bada majedar hota hai.", Deepak ko bhi laga ke Arjun dil se baat nahi kar raha aur shayad uski wajah bhi dono behno ki upasthithi hai.
"Main toh kabhi punjab aaya nahi hu pehle toh mujhe khaas pata nahi hai.", Arjun ko bhi thik laga tha ke baat ab sahi taraf mudd gayi hai.
"Sabse bada shehar ha Punjab ka ye aur chhote bhai yaha na log bhi milansaar hai aur khaana toh pucho he matt. College road ke samose-chole, Modal Town ke kulche, golgappe aur rabri. Badi market ke chole bhature, kulfi-falooda aur jaane kya kya. Har mohalle me kuch na kuch khaas rehta hai. Waise Lucky isliye aaya hai ke yaha uski pasand ka murga-machli har jagah milta hai woh bhi iske hisaab se duniya ka best.", Deepak ne hanste hue Lucky ka jikar kia toh woh bhi hansne laga.
"Baato se toh lagta hai ke shehar jyada bada hai ye. Fir toh main didi ke sath jitna samay milega bas ghoomna pasand karunga.", Arjun is naye shehar ke baare me sunn kar romanchit hone laga tha.
"Arjun shehar bhi bada hai aur market toh anginat. Park, cinema, videshi kapde, factory aur har woh cheej jo honi chahiye tumhe dekhne ko milegi. College, university toh tum jaane he wale ho.", Lucky ne charcha me shamil hote hue aur bhi baatein batai.
"Aap log bhi ghoomenge?", Arjun ne jigyasa se pooch lia.
"Kaha yaar, hamari kaha aisi kismat 12 baje commissionar sahab se meeting hai fir shaam tak Police line me rehna padega aur kal sara din kaam. Raat ko samay mila toh Lucky ka toh manoranjan tayaar rahega aur main dekhunga television par filme.", Deepak ne maayus sa chehra banate hue Lucky ko dekha.
"Koi baat nahi. Aap na hamare shehar me samay nikalna fir main aapko waha hamare layak jagah ghumaunga. Sanjiv bhaiya bhi boring lagte hai lekin sach kahu hum dono bhi masti kar he lete hai.", Arjun ne jaise aspasht shabdo me dosti ka hath badha dia tha Deepak ke saamne.
"Done bhai, waise bhi meri shaam toh bekaar he rehti hai. Lucky ka toh ghar hai woh jab chahe nikal jata hai lekin main toh samay vyatit karne bhi duty chala jata hu.", Deepak ko khushi hui thi ki Arjun samajhdar hone ke sath he jindadil ladka tha. Sadak kinare ek dhaba dekh kar unhone car roki toh dono didi ki bhi aankh khul gayi. Unhe bathroom dikhane ke baad car me he chai aur parathe dene ka bol kar woh teeno log 2 charpai par aamne saamne baith gaye.
"Ab gaadi Lucky chalayega aur main nashta karne ke baad ghanta neend lunga. Raat bhi kaali ho gayi aur ab din bhi waisa he jaane wale hai.", Deepak ne apni baat kehte hue 5 aalu pyaaz ke paranthe makhan ke sath aur 4 chai ek lassi order kar di. Priyanka aur Aarti didi bhi bathroom se mooh dhone ke baad car ki taraf jaate hue Arjun ko dekhne lagi toh Arjun ne ijajat lete hue apni didi ko bhi ek taraf charpai par bula lia. Lucky aur Deepak apni baaton me lag gaye aur Arjun nashta apni behno ke sath he karne laga.
"Kya paranthe hai didi, maja aa gaya. Lassi bhi badi atchi hai.", Arjun ne khane ki tarif ki toh Priyanka didi ke bolne se pehle he dhaabe ke sanchalak, ek safed daadhi wale aakarshak se Sardar ji bol pade.
"Puttar ji, eh Punjab vich khuraka he haingi jehdi gabru banaye rakhdi hai. Shehar vich mere chote prah (brother) da dhaba hai Gurmel de naam toh Modal Town de gol chakkar kol, sama mile tah hoke aaiyo.", Itna keh kar woh Arjun ke sar par hath fer kar aage baithe ek gareeb ko chai-roti dene chale gaye. Arjun ko atcha laga unka swabhav aur aise apnapan dikhana.
"Main bhi yahi kehne waali thi ki pyaaj-paneer ke paronthe toh Gurmel ke ya fir Bansi ke khilaungi. Dekhna sab swaad bhool jaoge.", Aarti didi chehra dhone ke baad ab swabhavik ho gayi thi, hamesha ki tarah khoobsurat aur pyaari. Priyanka didi bhi baaton ke sath nashta karne lagi aur yaha se faarig hone ke baad gaadi chal padi apni manjil ki aur. Agle ek ghante me he sadak ke dono taraf badi factory aur showroom dikhai dene lage. Sadak itni chaudi ki 4 gaadi barabar chal sake. Arjun bahar dekh raha tha ke 3 me se ek shakhs sardar najar aa raha tha.
"Waah didi, aapka shehar toh bahut bada aur atcha hai."
"Abhi shehar aage hai bhai aur Modal Town tak jaate hue he 20-25 minute lag jayenge, khaali sadak hai isliye.", Priyanka didi jisko khali sadak bata rahi thi waha toh pehle he atchi bheed thi.
"Aap shehar ke aakhir me rehti ho kya?", Arjun ki baat ka jawaab Lucky ne dia.
"Arjun, Modal Town shehar ke thik beech me hai aur sabse khaas ilaka. Us se aage bhi itna he shehar hai aur aisa har taraf se hai na ki sirf seedhi sadak par. Hamare shehar me toh 4 lakh ki abaadi hai lekin yaha 22 lakh log rehte hai. Shayad ab tumhe atche se samajh aaye.", Priyanka didi ke sath Aarti didi bhi hansti hui Arjun ki hairat ko dekhne lagi.
"Tabhi sochu ki didi isko khali sadak kyo keh rahi hai. Matlab pramukh samay par toh yaha jaam he lag jata hoga."
"Subah 9-10 aur shaam ko 5-7 bje ke waqt gaadi 10 minute wala safar 25-30 minute me karti hai.", Deepak ne bhi thoda gyaand dia aur aise he shehar ke drishya dekhta raha aur Priyanka didi Lucky bhaiya ko rasta samjhati apne ghar tak le aai. Unhone bahot kaha tha dono ko andar aane ke liye lekin fir kabhi aane ka bol kar Lucky aur Deepak unhe ghar ke bahar he chodd kar nikal chale.

Rameshwar ji ke ghar ke bahar 11 baje 3 gaadi khadi thi. 2 sarkari aur ek kaali Benz. Shankar ji ghar aa chuke the aur is waqt baithak se itar poora ghar jaise katt sa gaya tha.
"Kal raat Dushyant Malik hotel tulip me mara gaya. Waha se ek 19 varshiya ladki, 2 jakhmi apradhi aur 1 crore baramad hua hai. Hotel ke karinde ka he phone aaya tha aur usne pushti ki hai ke 3 log upar gaye the unme se vardaat ko anjaam dene wala bhi sath he gaya tha lekin rooprekha banwai jaa rahi hai.", Nirmal Singh ji poori baat Rameshwar ji ko bata rahe the. Sath he Dharamvir ji, Param aur Shankar ke sath waha Col sahab aur 3 police wale bhi baithe the.
"Dushyant waha se nikla kaise?" Rameshwar ji pehla sawaal wahi tha jo har police wale ka hota hai.
"Sharaab peene ke baad usne constable se khuli hawa me ghoomne ki request ki thi Pandit ji. BP ki shikayat thi usko toh aisa karna thik laga. Lekin Dushyant bhi bhali bhanti wakif tha hamari jagah se jo woh aisa kar gaya.", Nirmal Singh ne lachari dikhate hue najre jhuka li.
"Ho kya raha hai yaha par.? Pehle Taai ke ghar haadsa hua, fir Sushila aur Sheela wala kaand. Uske baad Bhan Singh bhi chauda ho gaya meri gair-maujdgi me aur ab ye Dushyant kaise aur kyon shamil hua?", Shankar ji ne awaaj neechi rakhte hue he narajgi me dil ki baat kahi. Lekin Rameshwar ji ne woh jaise suni he nahi.
"Raat ko duty par sirf constable he tha.?", Ye sawaal Dharamvir ji ne kia.
"Ji. 2 constable khana kha rahe the aur ek Dushyant ke sath bahar gaya tha. Officer toh aapko bhi pata hai ke 8 baje ke baad waha nahi rehte. Lekin sochne wali baat hai ke itna paisa, ladki aur aadmi ke sath Dushyant kya plan kar raha tha? Mamla aapsi vivad ka he hoga jo sath aaya aadmi he ye anjaam de gaya.", Nirmal Singh ki baat par Rameshwar ji khamosh rahe. Waisa he haal Dharamvir ji, Shankar aur Param ka tha.
"Bhaag gaya chalo maan lia. Lekin 6 kilometer dur pahuch gaya toh matlab isme koi na koi toh shamil he tha. Nirmal ji aisa toh nahi ki bakra jaan boojh kar halaal hua ho.?", Col Puri ka ye sawaal har paksh ko khol raha tha.
"Col Puri, ye police vibhag hai Army nahi jaha ek Col ke kehne par poori regiment baat maan leti hai. Yaha hamara sipahi tak ajaad vichar liye rehta hai chahe uski galti se IG ki naukri chali jaaye.", IG Kapoor ke itna kehte he Col sahab ne unka hath pakad lia.
"Mera ye matlab nahi tha Kapoor. Chook hui hai aur abhi 2 log baaki the jinke sath Dushyant ka bhi rishta ho sakta tha. Unse khatra hai aur isliye Dushyant ki zindagi ki parwah thi. Nahi toh main khud goli chalne me deri nahi karta."
"4 logo ki laash bhi mili hai. Ek toh Parshad Raman Kumar aur 3 uske sath ke he vyapari the. Aap jaante hai kisi ko? Dushyant ke sath unka gathbandhan bhi tha aur charo he Lok Dal ke khaas the.", Ek 3 sitara policewala gatte ki file unke saamne rakhne ke baad apni jagah wapis khada ho gaya.
"Ye kab hua?", Rameshwar ji ki list me Raman Kumar ka bhi naam tha. Aur uski maut bhi thik usi din hona ek alag kahani bata raha tha.
"Raat kisi ne **** hane phone kia tha ke sadak ke beech 4 log pade hai. Kareeb 3 baje ki baat hai. Postmortum me hatya toh sabit hui lekin koi saboot ya jism par nishan nahi mila.", Us inspector ne detail di aur Dharamvir ji ke sath he Rameshwar ji bhi photo aur report dekhne lage.
"Atcha Nirmal ji, aap team ko le jaiye. Main shaam ko baat karta hu. Kapoor sahab, aap chhuti par hai toh Satish ke sath jaam shuru kijiye main inke ghar aata hu abhi.", Rameshwar ji ne Dharamvir ji ko chhod kar baaki sabhi sarkari vyaktiyo ko jaise jaane ka ishara dia aur Col sahab bhi ab IG se gale milne ke baad unhe apne sath eh le gaye. Shankar ji bhi jaam ki baat sunn kar khade hue lekin is baar awaaj Bade Sangwan ji ki aai, Pandit ji ki jagah.
"Tum dono yahi baitho abhi.", Param aur Shankar dono he thithak kar ruk gaye lekin Col sahab ne mudd kar bhi nahi dekha unhe. Baithak ka darwaja band karne ke liye unhone Param ko kaha aur Shankar ko saamne bitha lia.
"Barkhurdar, bas itna keh do ke tum kal shaam 7 baje America se wapis aa gaye the.", Dharamvir ji ka ye sawaal Shankar ji se tha. Rameshwar ji bhi dhyaan se dekh rahe the.
"Ye abhi aaya hai aur main he toh leke aaya hu.", Chote Sangwan ne beech me jawaab dia.
"Tumhe pata hai ke tumne kya kia hai Shankar? Dushyant hamara nishana nahi tha, Raman ke sath Tarachand Garg bhi tha is maamle me. In sabme ameer aur taqatwar Tarachand he hai jo aane wala MLA hai. Tumhari wajah se woh hamari pakad se nikal gaya.", Dharamvir ji ke lafjo me alag he pareshani thi. Baat poori karne lage.
"Woh varmaan sarkar me bhi badi hasiyat rakhta hai lekin tumne sab gud-gobar kar dia.", Hataash se woh Rameshawar ji ka hath pakad kar baith gaye. Kuch pal khamoshi chaayi rahi aur is baar Rameshwar ji bole.
"Toh Tarachand ko bhi maar dia?"
"Police ko 5 mile hai lekin 7 aur milne baaki hai. Main aap jitna dariyadil nahi hu aur meri maa ki neend ek raat bhi kharaab hui toh main shehar mita dunga unke sukoon ke liye. Dushyant bhi aapne chhoda tha aur Tarachand ke liye chacha ne mana kia tha. Meri majburi thi ki waha main bebas tha, dur tha lekin ab agar kisi ne bhi aisi galti ki toh unhe maloom rahega Shankar yahi hain.", Bina koi jawaab sune Shankar bahar nikal gaya, Dharamvir ji ne bhi Param ko ishare se uske sath jaane ko kaha.
"Toh aapko ye maloom tha?", Dharamvir Sangwan ji ka sawaal sadharan he tha.
"Haan. Aur kaun ho sakta hai jo laasho ka sailaab le aaye? Jab isne kaha ke ye aaj dopahar tak wapis aa jayega main samajh gaya tha ke ye rukega nahi lekin Nirmal ki konsi nabz isne dabai hui hai jo woh iska saath de raha hai? Shankar ne ek policewale ko mara hai Dharamvir."
"Nahi bhai sahab. Shankar ne saboot he kaha chhoda hai. Dushyant Malik toh aapko marwane ki supari de raha tha. Ye rahi report.", Bade Sangwan ji ne file ka aakhiri panna dikhate hue kaha. Jaha police ki lekhani me bhi Rameshwar ji ko 25 saal purani likhwat najar aa gayi.
"Kya karu main iska Dharamvir? Kapoor aur Satish toh iske he sath hai, medical bhi ye karwa leta hai aur Chandu bhi mera dost hone par iske sath hai.", Rameshwar ji ne apni lachari darshai.
"Bhabhi. Bhai sahab ye sab isliye hua kyonki bhabhi ko ye baat pata lagi hogi. Upar se kaun baap chahega ke uska beta woh ganda kaam kare jisme woh pehle he shamil hai.", Dharamvir ji bhi thoda pareshan the.
"Tarachand choti moti hasti nahi tha bhai."
"7 Log maare hai matlab Shankar ne vansh he khatam kar dia. Maine pehle he kaha tha ke Sanjiv aur Deepak ko alag rakhna Shankar se kyonki woh dono aapke sath reh kar bhi Shankar se seekhne ke liye betaab hai. Bura matt maniyega lekin aap us se jyada he kroor the. Woh alag baat hai ke aapne hamesha chote mote mujrim maaf kiye lekin ladki, maa aur dharam ke khilaaf waale toh aapne bhi zinda nahi chhode.", Dharamvir Singh ne table se paani ka gilas utha kar Rameshwar ji ke mooh par lagaya toh unhone woh thaam kar pee lia.
"Tum sab jaante ho dost. Main aaj ghar par hu 8 saal se. Lekin in maa-bete ko toddna namumkin hai."
"Todna kyo hai bhai sahab? Jodd dijiye fir dekhiye Shankar ko ghar se fursat nahi milegi. Main bhi pareshan hu is se kyonki ye us jagah pahuch chuka hai ke 1% zindagi par bhi ye 100 ka daav khelne laga hai. Isme Shankar ke sanhar ke sath he Narayan ki jivan dene ka roop bhi akhtiyaar ho chuka hai. Challenge na mile toh Shankar khud paida kar leta hai. Isko apni maa ke he pas chhod do.", Dharamvir ji ki baat me jo satya tha woh Rameshwar ji ko samajh aa gaya tha.
"Seedha bolo na ke Arjun ke saamne la khada karu. Dharamvir, Bhajan ko phone lagao aur bolo ke Rameshwar ne yaad kia hai. Dekhe jara Shankar kitni der tikta hai mere sher ke saamne. Main beshak nahi chahta tha ke Kaushalya ka eham toote lekin shaanti jaruri hai aur Shankar ko ye nahi pata ke uski maa bhi ab pyaar baant chuki hai. Is baar Arjun hoga maidaan me abhimanyu nahi.", Itni baat sunte he Dharamvir ji ke chere par lambi muskaan aa gayi aur phone ko paas khinchte hue uhone apni baat kahi.
"Matlab ab dono ko nahi pata ke mukabla kis se hai aur jeet kaha? Mera daav Arjun par hai.", Dharamvir ji ne number lagane se pehle kaha.
"Arjun ka daav apne baap par hain.", Rameshwar ji ne behichak kaha aur number milne ke baad phone le lia.
"Namaskar Pandit ji. Kaho kaise yaad aa gayi is nacheej ki?", Saamne bhi jaise number pata lagne ki machine thi.
"Aisa hai bhai ke Shankar ki maa ki tabiyat thik nahi rehti jabse mere saale ka dehant hua hai. Tum toh CM bane baad phone karte nahi mujhe, apni behan se gappe laga lete ho. Jara Shankar ka kuch karo ke woh yaha pas reh sake. Rajkumar bahar rehta hai Narinder ki bhi samasya hai.", Rameshwar ji ne jo shabdo ka jaal buna saamne wala usme pal me he fans gaya.
"Kya baat kar di aapne jija ji. Shankar kal subah he aapke shehar ka civil hospital SMO ke hisab se join karega. Baaki bacho ki shaadi aur samaroh me main aa raha hu. Jiji ne kal he mujhe bata dia tha. Koi aur sewa ho toh kahiye."
"Bas tum itna kar do main samjhunga ke maine apni bivi ke liye kuch toh kia. Tum jaante he ho ke Shankar uski saans hai.", Rameshwar ji ne turup ka ikka he maar dia.
"Haan toh woh hai he. Didi ne toh khud he kaha hai ke hone wali bahu ke liye main apni gaadiyan aur log lagau jis se unhe bhi pata lage ke pariwar kaisa hai.", Rameshwar ji uski mandbuddhi par bas muskura diye.
"Jo karna hai karo. Main beech me nahi padta. Bas meri biwi mujhe pyaari hai aur uska beta uske paas. Shankar jo bhi daleel de kharij kar dena."
"Baat karte he ho gaya ji. Abhi notice gaya aur uska farmouse ka samaan bhi main idhar mangwa lunga.", Bhajan ne itna kaha aur halki fulki baat ke baad phone cut ho gaya.
"Bhai sahab Shankar ko yaha rakh rahe ho? Mera kaam bhi toh woh chalata hai."
"Dharamvir, woh tumhe baap he maanta hai. Tumse toh alag nahi kia. Lekin sach kahu 8 saal maine kabhi kisi par nahi lagaye aur main ab dekhna chahta hu ke kya Arjun is kabil hai jo Kaushalya ke 9 mahine ke baad 45 saal par bhari padd sake. Dimag kehta hai ke Shankar jallad aur adhura insaan hai. Dil kehta hai ke Arjun ke sath reh kar woh insaan bhi banega aur Pandit bhi. Mujhe uski harkat se pareshani nahi hai, jimmedari se hai.", Rameshwar ji ne baat khol kar rakh di.
"Arjun ko main nahi jaanta. Thoda ullekh karenge."
"Dharamvir, woh ajay hai. Haar ke bhi wahi jeetega ye gur usko pata hai. Umed yahi kehta hai ke Shankar ki jawani Arjun ka bachpan aur Baba Malang ka budhapa Arjun ka ye samay hai. Uske pas shayad hamare tak pahuch ho lekin saboot nahi hone par usne sawaal nahi kiye. Lekin yaha woh Rekha ke sath hoga, Kaushalya ke saamne dono honge, jimmedari bhi hogi. Unch neech bhi hona lajmi hai. Shankar ko pata lagna chahiye ke woh ab baap hai, beta nahi.", Rameshwar ji ne baat vistaar se kahi.
"Arjun kuch aur bhi hai. Yaad hai na aapko."
"Shankar ko dekhne do jara ke taqat ke bawjood hosh rakhna jaruri hota hai. Mauka main khud dunga. Tum bhi jaante ho list 12 ki thi Shankar wahi tak simit raha. 3 jaan kar chhode hai Shankar ke liye lekin ab Arjun apne baap ke sath rehne wala hai.
