Update 126
Aavran- 1
Saanjh 7 baj chuke the jab Shankar ji ghar me dakhil hue. Unhe aaj is waqt hona toh Rammehar Singh ki haveli par tha lekin is aksmaat muthbhed ki wajah se sara karyakram idhar udhar ho gaya. Dhero sawaal the aur jawaab dene wale log bhi kisi tukdo wali paheli ki tarah sabkuch nahi jaante the. Galiyare se bheetar wale aangan me aaye toh Ritu, Komal aur Priyanka ke sath ye anjaan ladki baithi coffee pee rahi thi. Shankar ji ko dekhte he usne hath jodd kar namastey kiya toh parichaya dusri taraf se aati Tara ne diya.
"Mama ji ye Himani hai, Arjun ke Aacharya dada ji ki naatin aur hamari saheli. Aur Himani didi ye hai mere pyare mama ji aur Arjun ke papa.", Tara fir se apne mama ki bagal me lagi khadi ho gayi.
"Namastey uncle. Aapke bare me bhi nana ji bataya hai ke aap ek famous surgeon hai.", Shankar ji ko khushi hui ki jis ladki ko dekh kar kabhi Ritu naraaj hui thi wo aaj uski he bagal me baithi thi. Lekin aankhon par chasma wo bhi shaam ke waqt.?
"Namastey beta, ye tumhara bhi ghar hai toh befikar raha karo. Shastri ji shehar se bahar hai kya?", Shankar ji abhi baat kar rahe the ki Rekha ji ne paani ka gilas diya toh ek muskaan ke sath unhone paani lekar peete hue biwi ko bhi dekha aur fir Himani ka jawaab sunn ne lage. Rekha ji wahi khadi rahi.
"Ji nana ji ko jaruri kaam tha isliye wo out of India hai lekin parso aa jayenge. And I am really comfortable here, thank you so much."
"Himani didi papa keh rahe hai ke ye goggles kyo laga rakhe hai.", Ritu ne chutki li toh Shankar ji bhi hansne lage apni shararti beti ki baat sunn kar lekin Himani thoda sa jhemp gayi. Wo ab pehle se behtar bolne lagi thi in logo ke sath rehne se.
"Uncle sabko itna atcha nahi lagta jitna Ritu ko mujhe bina chasme ke dekh ke lagta hai.", Itna keh kar Himani ne chasma hataya toh Ritu apne pita ka chehra dekhne lagi. Jaha shann bhar ke liye he hairat thi jo sabko nahi dikhe aur uske baad ek muskaan.
"One in a million toh Ritu ko atcha he lagega aur baaki sabko bhi beti. You are gifted. Khush rehna jaruri hai aur tumko toh double rehna chahiye. Har koyi itna lucky nahi hota. Mujhe, mere bacho ko he dekh lo sabki ek jaisi he boring eyes hai.", Shankar ji ke itna halke me lene aur tareef ke sath sath apna he majaak udaane par sabhi khush the, Himani ke sath sath.
"Sachmuch Ritu aur Komal lucky hai ke unke dad itne hansmukh aur positive hai.", Himani ne Arjun ko shamil nahi kiya toh Rekha ji ab muskurai. Unhe pata tha ke baat jarur hogi ab.
"Beta baap toh main Rupali aur Arjun ka bhi hu."
"Hahaha. sorry uncle wo Rupali se abhi itna milna nahi hua aur wo bhi atchi ladki hai. But don't mind Arjun is slighty better than everyone, known or unknown. Usko compare karna matlab uspe doubt karna. Nana ji bhi aisa nahi karenge.", Himani ne isme Aacharya ji tak ko shamil kiya tha aur Shankar ji ko atcha laga ke ladka apne vyaktitva ko sahi rakhta hai.
"Hain kaha wo janaab? Ghar me toh sabhi gaadi aur uski motorcycle khadi hai. Rekha, bathroom me kapde rakh do fir mujhe jana hai. Tara mere liye chai bana degi.", Unhone Arjun ka poocha tha aur chai le kar Aarti idhar aa gayi thi apne bade papa ke liye.
"Arjun aur bhaiya ka shor nahi suna tha kya jab aap ghar me aaye bade papa?", Aarti ne jaise ye kaha Shankar ji cup le kar bahar ki taraf chal diye kyonki baithak se he wo shor aa raha tha jis par unka dhyaan nahi gaya. Aarti aur Tara bhi peeche he chal di, Rekha ji kamre se apne pati ke kapde laane.
"Bhaiya bhaiya aap aage raho na ye final dragon hai aur mere pas bas 2 chance hai. Ye power mujhe lene do."
"Ruk main aage hu toh main laser leta hu tu 'S' se kaam chala. Sambhal us dusri taraf wale ko.", Yaha toh television ki awaaj 50 par thi aur dono bhai shor machate dhadadhar goliya chala rahe the. Rameshwar ji toh ghar the nahi Kaushalya ji ko le kar jo subah se bahar the. Shankar ji ke aane ka bhi in par koyi prabhaav na pada toh wo hairat se Tara-Aarti ko dekhne lage ki ye ladke kitni umar ke hai. Arjun toh maan liya lekin Sanjiv, wo toh ek adhikar aur gambhir yuvak tha. Lekin yaha sab samajh se bahar. Ritu ne aankh maarte hue aangan me lage bijli ke switch ko niche gira diya.
"Ohhh.. is light ko bhi abhi jana tha. Ho gaya na kiya karaya sab kharaab bhaiya? Generator leke aate hai jis se ye jhanjhat he khatam.", Arjun ne remote gusse me jameen par patka toh Sanjiv bhaiya bhi jhunjhlate hue bol pade.
"Chal Arora uncle ki dukaan par chalte hai. Waise bhi thaanedar sahab ne 5 din baad lagwana hai toh aaj he sahi. Upar wale kamre me set karte hai game aur aate hue Aladin aur Street Fighter ki casettee bhi lete aayenge.", Sanjiv ne kameej pehan kar khade hote kaha toh dono ki he najar bahar khade hanste hue sabhi chehro par padi.
"Arre generator kyu ek bada tv, wo mehngi wali video game aur chhota fridge bhi lete aana hawa wale gadde ke sath. Ek ki shaadi hone wali hai, dusra baap se bhi 3 inch uncha ho gaya lekin abhi tak nikkar badal kar pant nahi bani.", Shankar ji ke aisa kehne par Arjun toh apne bhaiya ki taraf ho gaya aur jaise he najar bahar ki taraf jalti light par padi wo sab bhool kar chilla utha.
"Ye Ritu didi ne kiya hai bhaiya. Upar bhi game yahi band karti thi aur aaj bijli bhi inhone he bhagai hai. Kashyap ji ke toh light hai.", Uski baat par Shakar ji hansne lage aur Ritu angutha dikhati furr ho gayi. Shankar ji ne he bijli chalu ki aur hanste hue nahane chale gaye.
"Chal ab bahar he chalte hai, doctor Dang aa gaye toh hamara yaha rehna thik nahi.", Sanjiv bhaiya ne kadam bahar badhaye the aur Arjun bhi apne papa ke is naye naam par hansta hua unke sath ho liya.
"Bhaiya Himani ko bhi chhod dijiyega iske ghar. Yahi park ke pas hai.", Priyanka didi ne kaha toh Himani ishare se mana karne lagi.
"Aa jao gudiya, hum wahi jaa rahe hai.", Sanjiv bhaiya ne gudiya kaha toh Himani ki wo jhijhak thodi kam hui. Lekin Alka ne ek aur farmaish rakh di.
"Bhaiya aap udhar he ja rahe hai toh chhole-tikki bhi lete aana.", Uski shakal dekh kar Sanjiv bhaiya ne sar hila diya.
"Bhaiya aur mere liye dahi bhalle.", Aarti ne alag farmaish rakh di toh Tara bhi bol padi.
"3 plate, please."
"Thik hai thik hai, sab le aayenge. Chal chhote.", Cielo ki seat par baithne laga toh unhone Arjun ko Himani ke liye darwaja kholte dekh atcha laga. Car ghar se bahar nikli aur idhar Romela ji ke sath Renuka bhi ghar me dakhil ho gayi thi. 1 minute baad he Rameshwar ji shuda Col sahab aur Kaushalya ji ke wapis aa gaye.
"Papa, aaj sara din aap kaha the? Maa bhi aapke sath he gayi thi?", Tayaar ho kar Shankar ji baithak me wapis aaye toh Rameshwar ji sofe par araam se pasre hue the aur Col sahab paani pee rahe the. Komal video game ko sahi se samet kar rakh rahi thi.
"Teri maa ke laadle bhai ko card dene gaye the aur fir jitna socha utna kaam kar nahi paaye. Tum abhi ghar pe he ho?"
"Haan bas ja raha tha aur maa ke laadle bhai kahi Bhajan mama ki toh baat nahi kar rahe aap?", Shankar ji bhi chhote sofe par baith gaye. Unki mata ji kapde badalne gayi thi.
"Haan aur fir teri maa toh sarkaar ke jaise waha jamm he gayi. Waise kabhi kabhi humse bhi salah mashvara kar liya karo bhai. Buddhe hai lekin thoda bahot toh kaam kar he sakte hai."
"Mujhe laga ke aise waqt me aapko pareshan karna thik nahi rahega aur baat ghar tak nahi jaani chahiye.", Shankar ji ka sankoch dekh Col sahab me hath par hath rakhte hue kaha.
"Aani chahiye Shankar jis se sab sambhala ja sake. Pata hai agar tum sath na dete toh badi anhoni ho sakti thi aur Sanjiv ne bhi bhai sahab ko samay rehte poori khabar di. Arjun ye sab khud he karne wala tha Umed aur Dharamvir bhai sahab ke sath.", Ab Shankar ji ko samajh aaya tha ke unka beta kya karne laga tha.
"Aainda pehle aapse baat karunga agar baat aisi hui toh. Waise maan na padega ke aap log ek sanstha ki tarah kaam karte ho.", Shankar ji ne apne pita ki taraf dekhte hue kaha aur Col sahab hansne lage.
"Buddhe log toh bhai ab aisa he kar sakte, jawaano ki tarah saamna karni ki umar nahi hai na jo sar pe kafan bandh kar khud maut ko nimantran dene lage. Ab ye apne mama ko Arjun se dur rakhna, main bhi koshish karunga. Aaj Dharamvir bhai se madad li hai kal Bhajan ko shamil kar liya toh ye ladka jaane kya ulat-palat kar rakh de.", Rameshwar ji ne vyang kiya toh jiska matlab gehra tha.
"Kar dega toh kar dega. Galat nahi karne wala wo kuch bhi aur Shankar tu kal samay se le jaiyo sabko udhar. Main aur tere papa udhar Arjun, Satish bhai sahb ke sath jaane wale hai. Rajkumar Babita ka kanyadan karega to Lalita bhi sath jayegi aur bachiyan bhi.", Kaushalya ji ki baat par ab Shankar ji kya kehte, sar hila diya.
"Ghar pe kaun rahega yaha?", Ye sawaal apni jagah thik tha.
"Din ka samay hai Shankar, tala laga kar chabi Satish ke ghar de denge. Satish ke ghar par toh Parvati-Mukesh dekh he lenge.", Matlab saaf tha ke dono he pariwaar ja rahe the kal aur vivah gaanv me hone the.
"Waha safety ke liye kuch socha hai papa?", Bete ka ye sawaal unhe bhi pasand aaya lekin jawaab maa ne diya.
"Tere se badi safety kya ho sakti hai udhar? Hamare sath Umed hoga. Shaadi me ja rahe hai ya border par?"
"Kaushalya gaav-kasbe ka mahol hai ghar ki betiyan ja rahi hai toh Shankar ka chintit hona lazmi hai. Apni rivolver rakh lena sath aur ek gaadi Muneer le jayega. Hamare sath sab thik hai udhar kyonki Umed ke surakshakarmi honge he.", Aapne pita ki baat se Shankar ji kuch hadd tak nischint toh hue lekin unhone soch liya tha ke waha wo apne aap he suraksha ka intjaam kar lenge. Jaane ki ijajat lete hue wo apni esteem car nikal kar badh gaye Rammehar Singh ki haveli ke liye. Raat ke 8 bajne wale the aur filhal dhyan bas kal ke karyakramo par he tha.
.
.
"Ye ladki khaas thi kya chhote?", Dono bhai Arora electrical par generator ka order dene ke baad ab Model Town me lagi rehdiyo se khaane peene ka samaan pack karwa rahe the. Generator toh ab parso he lagne wala tha kyonki raat ko aadmi bhi nahi the aur agle din somwar hone ki wajah se dukaan band rehne wali thi. Baat shuru hui Himani se toh Arjun bhaiya ki baat par thoda gambhir ho gaya.
"Bhaiya ye Aacharya ji ki dohti hai aur sach kahu toh zindagi ka jo kadwa pehlu hota hai na isko bas wahi naseeb hua hai. Akelapan, maa-baap ka saya nahi, purusho se darr aur apne wajood se bhi haari hui. Koshish kar raha hu ke inki zindagi kuch badal saku. Mere guru aur dost hone ke sath sath Aacharya ji mere dada ji bhi hai. Bahot kuch sikhaya hai unhone mujhe wo bhi har sawaal ka jawab dene ke sath.", Sanjiv bhaiya ko toh Arjun hamesha he sabse pyara tha lekin uska ye roop dekh samman badh gaya .
"Chhote pata hai tu kuch saal uske jaise he mahol me raha lekin tera zindagi ke liye najariya bilkul viprit bana. Isliye main hamesha kehta hu ke tu na ek vardaan hai aur tere liye hamesha dil me ek darr laga rehta hai. Ghar na sachmuch tere aane ke baad bilkul badal gaya hai yar. Sab aapas me kareeb hai, hanste hai, ek dusre ka khayal rakhte hai aur baba (pandit ji) toh 10 saal jawaan he ho gaye."
"Ye hamesha aisa he rehne wala hai bhaiya kyonki ye sab aap logo ne kiya hai maine nahi. Waise ye sab chhodiye asli baat bataye ke aapke phone par dada ji ne kaise pratikirya di thi aaj? Bhadak gaye the na wo aap par?", Arjun thoda hans raha tha lekin khud ko rok bhi raha tha.
"Saale tu kaand he aise karta hai. Lekin agar tu wo salah na deta toh kaam bigad jata. Dekha na kaise teeno ek sath he utha liye aur police gayab he karwa di thi Sampat ke pas se. Sahi jagah par sahi teer tu chala gaya chhote."
"Waise agar wo sab nahi bhi hota toh papa aur chacha sambhal lete bhaiya lekin chot bhi lag sakti thi aur unke hath jyada he gande ho jaate. Main bhi koshish kar sakta tha lekin wo papa hai toh unke saamne nahi aur upar se dada ji ne toh aaj he mera boriya bistra ghar se kahi dur lagwa dena tha. Atcha kal aap hamare sath chalenge udhar badi daadi ke ghar shaadi me?", Arjun ne ye baat kuch soch kar he kahi thi jiska pata Sanjiv ka jara bhi na tha.
"Naa, chacha ke sath jaunga main. Waha toh mere papa jayenge aur waha kisi se jyada bolchal mat shuru kar dena. Daadi ko jaanta hai udhar toh bas unhi tak simit rehna.", Bhaiya ki baat sunn kar Arjun muskurane laga.
"Jaanta toh main waha Sushila bua ko bhi hu, Bijender bhaiya, Babita aur Richa didi ko bhi. Baaki aap kehte hai toh bas badi daadi se bolchal karunga.", Arjun ki baat par Sanjiv bhaiya ko bhi hansi aa gayi. Unhe yaad aa gaya ke aaj ye pariwar itne kareeb hai toh us ghatna ke baad se jab Arjun ne unhe bachaya tha.
"Babita aur Bijender ko dekha hai kaise pahaad se bhai-behan hai dono. Mila hu main un dono se apne dada ji ke sath aur Babita bahot gussel thi jitna mujhe yaad hai.", Arjun ko jaise yaad aa gaya tha ke Babita ne ek vaada kiya tha usko aur wo unka bejod sansarg.
"Na bhaiya wo toh bahot jyada he pyaari hai.", Arjun ko aise khoye dekh Sanjiv bhaiya jaise kuch samajh gaye.
"Abe tu kya bol raha hai? Kuch lafda toh nahi kar diya kyonki uski maa jo hai woh naak par gussa liye firti hai."
"Sushila ji toh apni bua hai, pyaari bua aur Babita didi se toh meri atchi jamti hai. Tension mat lo waha ki, sab apne hai aur jo nahi hai wo jaan jayenge ki Rameshwar ji ka chhota pauta aa raha hai. Uchit dhyaan rakha jaye nahi toh papa thode jyada he famous hai mere.", Arjun ke majaak ke sath he dono ne wo tikki-bhalle liye aur ghar ki taraf mudd gaye. Sanjiv bhaiya ne ek baar bhi cigratte nahi sulgai thi is dauraan.
"Dekh main waha ke baare me jyada nahi jaanta chhote lekin itna pata hai ke udhar sabhi log apne pariwar ke hiteshi nahi hai. Tu unki najro me aayega jarur aur is baat ka mujhe darr hai. Haan dada ji ke hote toh tu bilkul surakshit hai."
"Bhaiya, wo bhi sirf is wajah se he surakshit hai. Lekin aap tension matt lijiye, na main hath gande karunga aur na kisi ko karne dunga jab tak wo insaan hamare pariwar ko chot pahuchane ki koshish nahi karta.", Arjun ka badla swar aisa tha jisme Sanjiv bhaiya ko jhalak mili ke wo unse bhi kahi jyada jaanta hai.
"Waise teri love life kaisi chal rahi hai? Yaad hai pehli baar tera practical maine he karwaya tha aur ab sunn raha hu ke tu waha bhi Sachin bana hua hai.", Arjun unki is baat ko sunn kar hansta hua bahar dekhne laga.
"Main kuch nahi karta bas ho jata hai bhaiya lekin aap meri chhodo apni batao. Na toh bhabhi ki tasvir dekhne ko mili, na aapne koyi jikar he kiya unka aur upar se sabkuch ekdum he ho raha hai. Chakkar kya hai? Love marriage ko arrange toh nahi karwa rahe aap?", Sanjiv ka dimaag jarur hil gaya tha Arjun ki baat se lekin jahir na karte hue hansne laga.
"Dekh chhote ye na ek surprise hai. Teri hone wali bhabhi aur tu bas direct he milna. Usko bhi tere baare me kuch nahi pata hai lekin itna bata deta hu ke pariwar thoda bada hai aur bheed atchi lagne wali hai.", Dono he aise baatein karte hue ghar tak chale aaye toh bahar he Preeti dikh gayi jo shayad abhi apne ghar se aa rahi thi. Arjun bhi pehle he utar gaya aur bhaiya muskurate hue andar chale gaye.
"Memsaab, aaj bina protection ke?", Arjun ne kareeb jaate he majaak me kaha toh Preeti usko upar se niche dekhne ke baad seedha bol padi.
"Tumhe he bulane aa rahi thi main. Pata nahi kaha udte firte ho har waqt. Chalo mere sath is se pehle koyi taang adaaye.", Preeti ne andar dekhne ke baad gate laga diya bahar se he. Aur Arjun ko toh kuch samajh he nahi aa raha tha ke wo kya chaah rahi hai.
"Kar kya rahi ho tum aur yaha ghar par daadi ke sath sath Ritu ne bhi jaan le leni hai kyonki 8 baj gaye hai.", Arjun Preeti ko toh naa kar he nahi sakta tha lekin samjhate hue uske sath unke he ghar ki taraf chal diya.
"Maine khana banaya hua hai hum dono ka aur mom-bua udhar he hai raat khaane par. Aajkal kuch jyada he wo Rekha maa ke sath chipki rehti hai, 10 baje tak wo wapis aane wali hai dada ji ke sath. Tum andar chalo aur ye Ritu didi ya daadi ji ka raag alapna band karo, unhe kuch nahi pata lagta.", Preeti ghar ke andar aate he uska hath pakad kar apne kamre me he ja ghusi. Arjun bhochakka tha ke ekaek Preeti ko ye kya ho gaya. Abhi wo kuch bolta us se pehle he Preeti ki tshirt ek taraf ja giri aur Arjun ko bed par girate hue wo uske upar thi.
"Darwaja khula hai aur ye tumne top kyu utaar diya? Marwaogi Preeti. ummmmm", Aur hontho par apne hontho ka tala lagati Preeti ne Arjun ko khamosh kar diya. Aur ab wo khud shamil ho chuka tha Preeti ke sath is manchahe safar par. Dono hath us reshmi jaalidar bra ke upar rakhte hue Arjun kathor stanno ko dabata Preeti ka meetha mukhras peene me itna kho gaya tha ke hall me hairat se unko dekhti Vicki ka bhi abhaas na hua. Preeti ne is milan ko aage le jaane ke liye apna pajama khiskaya he tha ke gala khankharne ki awaaj se dono he is avrodh ki taraf dekhne lage jiski upasthiti ne maja kharaab kar diya tha.
"I didn't mean to distrub you both. Your door is open Preeti.", Vicki itna bol kar sapaat chehre se rasoighar me chali gayi aur Preeti ne Arjun ke upar se uthte hue ek aur chumban kar diya.
"Bolti hai ke main romantic nahi hu.", Preeti ne aankh maarte hue Arjun se itna he kaha aur tshirt pehan ne ke liye bister se uth khadi hui. Arjun ko toh kuch samajh he nahi aa raha tha.
"Usne darwaja band karne ko kaha toh top kyu pehan rahi ho?", Arjun ki halat kharaab thi aur ling tanaav se poora khada kar diya tha Preeti ne uska.
"Idiot, chalo apne ghar jao. Darwaja band karu wo bhi is time par.?", Itrate hue Preeti aaine me apne baal thik karne lagi toh Arjun mayusi se uth kar jaane he laga tha ke Preeti ne hath thaam liya.
"Tumne he toh kaha tha Wednesday ko aur main tayaar bhi hu. Vicki ko bas dikhana jaruri tha isliye aisa kiya. Ummmmm.. Hope you understand."
"Ab tum aise kahogi toh main kyu bura maan ne laga. I love you."
"I Love you to Arjun. Chalo main tumhe ghar tak chhod deti hu, waise bhi log najar bahot laga rahe hai. Maa ko jaane do ek baar wapis fir Vicki maar le apne paanv par kulhadi.", Preeti ne bhi ek baar atche se gale lagne ke baad Arjun ka chehra chooma aur dono wapis unke ghar ki aur chal diye. Rasoi me khadi Vicki sharir se chipki legging ke upar se he choot ko sehla kar honth daba rahi thi.
.

"Tumhara naam Muskaan hai na beti?", Sitara devi ke yaha beshak ek maut hui thi jis wajah se vivah samaroh bilkul sada rakha gaya tha lekin ghar ki agli peedhi me ye pehla vivah tha toh pichle aangan me sangeet aur khaane peene ki vyavastha unhone khud bol kar rakhwai thi jis se Anupama ko bhi kuch rahat ho. Mahilaye aur yuvtiya he idhar shamil thi. Wahi gine chune logo ke liye nohre me thoda khaane peene ka intjaam Vikas aur dosto ne apne jimme le liya tha. Sab se faarig hone ke baad ab Shankar ji haveli ke bahar wale aangan me araam karne lage the toh Akshara ki jagah unke liye doodh Muskaan le kar aa gayi.
"Ji uncle ji, Muskaan Mirza mera poora naam hai aur aapke udhar he university student hu.", Thoda jhijhakte hue Muskaan ne apna poora naam bataya toh Shankar ji ne charpai par ek taraf baithte hue is ladki ko bhi saamne baithne ko kaha.
"Shabnam tumhari behan hai na beti?"
"Badkismati se wo meri badi behan hai aur Bindiya Singh jo ab Mirza hai wo meri maa. I know un sabke saath main bhi aapki gunehgar hu lekin maine kabhi unhe na Arjun ki koyi infromation di aur na unke wo kaam poore hone diye jis se nuksaan ho sakta tha kisi ka.", Shankar ji ko hairat thi ki ye ladki nidar hone ke sath sath Shabnam ya Bindu ki tarah farebi nahi hai. Hontho par jo baat thi wo dil se he nikal rahi thi aur dher sara paschataap tha.
"Tumhari badi behan toh keh rahi thi ki main tumhare sath kuch na karu, koyi nuksaan na pahuchau? Aur tum alag baat keh rahi ho. Jaanti ho wo meri custody me hai.", Shankar ji ne Muskaan ko thoda sehaj karne ke liye uski taraf ek takiya badhaya toh pehli baar wo thoda muskurai. Goad me takiya le kar ab wo sahi se baith gayi thi. Shankar ji ki beti Ritu bhi toh aise he baithti thi jab paanv latka kar wo baat karti thi.
"Kya hai na uncle wo brain-washed hone ka naatak jaruri karti hai lekin Shabnam ko toddna kisi ke bhi bas ka nahi hai, physical pain de kar toh bilkul bhi nahi. Mujhe toh itna pata hai ke maa ne shaadi ki thi sirf hamari family ke level aur paise ko dekh kar. Aur mere papa kehte rahe ke maa ne unse sacha pyaar kiya hai. Bhala jo aadmi chal he nahi sakta us se ek widow India se England aa kar hafte me he sacha pyaar kar baithi? Shabnam ko maa ke sath sath aur bhi bahot se logo ne train kiya hai aur main kuch jaan nahi paayi kyonki kabhi dhyaan tha he nahi is sab par jab England thi. Bas dhyaan rakhna ke wo naam bhi batayegi toh unke jinhe raste se hatwana ho. Itna toh India aane ke baad main jaan he gayi.", Muskaan ka itna sab batana aur aise masoom chehre ke sath yaad karte samya sar jhatakna Shankar ji ko bhi behad atcha lag raha tha.
"Tumhari maa ka sasural aur maayka toh yaha hai. Kabhi gayi nahi waha?"
"Mera toh unse koyi rishta hai nahi aur waise bhi I was just a bait (chara) for them aur ab wo bhi hath se nikal gaya. Haan Bijender bhaiya aur Sushila mausi se milne ja sakti hu wo bhi agar kabhi possible hua toh. Waise aap Arjun ke papa hai na?", Muskaan ka Sushila ko mausi kehna Shankar ji ko thoda khatka aur fir Arjun ka jikar karna bhi.
"Haan, mera beta hai Arjun. Tum mili ho Arjun se, shayad jab wo apne dada ji ke sath yaha aaya tha tab?"
"Nahi nahi uncle. Tab main yaha nahi thi jab wo log aaye the. Arjun ne he toh meri jaan bachai hai aur baad me Shabnam ko bhi. University aur stadium me hum thode time se known hai aur usne he mujhe is sab se bahar nikala kyunki wo samajh gaya tha ke main us par najar rakh rahi hu jo mujhe aata bhi nahi tha.", Shankar ki jo aisi baatein bhi khusi de rahi thi jinme kaam ka kuch tha bhi nahi lekin ye ladki shayad dil halka kar rahi thi aur unhe Muskaan atchi bhi lagi.
"Wo toh school me hai fir University kaise? Tumse milne toh nahi aata beta?"
"Haha. Nothing like that uncle. Wo complicated ladka hai aur librarian se le kar Computer department ke sath involve rehta hai. Mostly study purpose se aur kabhi kabhi mujhse bhi mil leta hai agar basketball khel rahi hoti hu ya library me padhte time. Aap kehte hai wo school me hai lekin jaise soch chuka hai ke aage kya subject lene hai. But yes we are good friends kyonki mere dost hai he nahi udhar.", Shankar ji aise waqt par ab gambhir baat nahi karne chahte the toh wo bhi bachi ki khushi dekh khush hote rahe.
"Uski life hai beta lekin kal meri wife aur betiyan bhi aayengi yaha toh possible hai tumhe aur bhi dost mil jaye. Ek toh is session se tumhare he Universtiy se MBA start karne wali hai, Komal naam hai uska. Dost hone chahiye aur wahi aapki bure samay me taqat bante hai."
"See main jo batane aayi thi wo sirf darr ki wajah se nahi bata paayi. Aap sachmuch utne strict ya kahu dangerous nahi hai jitna suna tha. Mom ki ek baat suni thi maine ki aap hamesha najar me he rehte ho. 'Jo bhi hai usme Shankar aur Narinder ko kabhi kuch nahi hoga kyonki unhe sab apni aankhon se dekhna hoga.' Aur uncle agar aap koshish kare toh un logo ko pakad sakte hai kyonki wo phone karne wala maa ke mayke ke aas-pas se hai. Aur Shabnam ki bhi yaha har taraf bahot se logo ne help ki hai. Aapke ghar par ya shehar me toh aisa kuch karne ki himakat wo nahi karenge lekin jaisa aapne kaha ke family bhi yaha aayegi toh sachet rehna.", Muskaan ka swar ekdum he dheema ho gaya tha itni lambi baat batate hue. Aur Shankar ji ko jo jhatka laga uski toh koyi seema he nahi thi. Bindu bhi toh Narinder ke punjab wale ghar aisa he kuch karwane wali thi.
"Us phone ke baare me tum itna sahi se kaise keh sakti ho ke wo tumhari maa ke maayke se aaya tha.?"
"Kyonki display par 91-12** toh dikh gaya tha baaki najar nahi aaya kyonki wo hamesha hath rakh leti thi jab bhi call aati thi India se, chahe pas me koyi ho ya na ho. Unhone kabhi ghar se yaha India phone nahi kiya ye bhi unki khoobi hai. Incoming wale number bill par print nahi hote. Ab ye code toh wahi ka hai na jaha wo paida hui?", Muskaan ne sahi code bataya tha Shankar ji ko aur ab kayi sawaal uth gaye the dimag me.
"Tumne suna kaise jab woh number he chhipa kar baat karti hai toh?"
"Maine direct convesation nahi suni uncle. Jitna number dikha wo achanak dikha aur us waqt main casettee se ek song clear karne ke liye waha baithi thi. Phone aane par maa ne bahar jaane ko kaha toh mera casettee recorder main wahi bhool gayi. Ab sabse easy way toh yahi hai na kisi song ko hatana ho toh silent jagah bas reel ka utna hissa recording par laga do sab saaf. Lekin waha itna he record hua aur reel khatam kyonki aakhiri song tha wo. Main koyi detective nahi hu bas ye sab anjaane me hua aur agar mere kuch karne se ye sab ruk sakta hai toh main aisa he karungi. Aap koyi bure log toh nahi hai aur mujhe toh wajah bhi nahi pata ke ye aise khel khele he kyo ja rahe hai.? Chalti hu main uncle aur agar aapko kuch bhi poochna ho toh kabhi bhi pooch sakte hai. Goodnight.", Muskaan ke shubhratri kehne par Shankar ji ne bhi sar pe hath ferte hue khush rehne ka aashirwad diya aur ab gehrai se sab sochne lage jo is ladki ne unse bina puche he bata diya tha. Ek baat toh saaf thi ki Muskaan apne upar daag nahi lagne dena chahti thi aur na apne pita par.
'Hal nahi niklega itne saboot se. Wo code PCO ka he hoga aur phone karne wale ka pata karna ghaans ke dher se sooi nikalna. Itna saaf hai ke jade wahi gadi hai jaha sab shuru hua. Lekin mujhpar najar kaun rakh sakta hai? Ye ladki apne waha ke pariwar ko bachana chahti hai aur iske badle khud khatre me hai. Shankar, ye gutthi ek dimag se nahi sulajhne wali.', Apne aap se baatein karte hue Shankar ji bechain ho chuke the. Bindu ke sath wo dusra kaun ho sakta hai jo unko aur Narinder ko kuch nahi karna chahta.
"Chacha ji abhi tak jaag rahe ho?", Vikas bhi idhar aa kar khaat par leit gaya aur Shankar ji ko baithe dekh baat ki shuruaat ki.
"Haan yar, aadat nahi hai na itni jaldi sone ki aur upar se kal fir sabse jaruri din hai. Sorry tera utna sath nahi de paya yar. Hospital aur bahar ke kaam ki wajah se 2 din jyada he vyast raha."
"Chacha ji, abhi se hum logo ko aadat padegi toh aage chal kar kuch sambhal sakenge. Kiya toh abhi bhi aapne aur Umed uncle ne he hai sabkuch. Dada ji ne bhi baaki kaam karwa diye lage hath. Maine aur mere dost ne toh bas aane wale mehmano aur yahi chhota mota kaam sambhala. Ab aap araam kijiye kyonki bade kaam se pehle sharir ka tayaar rehna bhi jaruri hai.", Vikas ne toh apne khiladi wale jiwan ki baat kahi thi lekin Shankar ji ko ye baat apne hisab se bhi sahi lagi. Bade kaam se pehle khud ko shaant rakhna.
"Yar tera chhota bhai (Arjun) bhi kuch karta dharta hai stadium me ya sirf time pas he ho raha hai uska? Main toh jyada dekh rekh nahi kar pata uski."
"Wo unme se hai jo khet na bhi jaaye toh khali jameen dekh kahi bhi mehnat karni shuru kar de chacha ji. Anushashan bhi hai aur lagan ka bhi pakka hai bas thodi chinta hoti hai ke wo na jajbaati aur dil se chalne wala ladka hai. Sabhi waise nahi hote aur isliye uska khayal jyada rakhna padta hai. Boxing trial me state champion he dho diya tha ladke ne jabki pehle koyi anubhav nahi tha usko.", Shankar ji ko ye baat apne pita se bhi pata chali thi ki Arjun ne aisa kaam kiya hai.
"Wahi usne Sudarshan wala kaand bhi kiya tha. Tab toh anushashan nahi dikha usme.", Kataksh bhi kuch soch kar karte the Shankar ji lekin Vikas samajhdar tha.
"Zinda chhod kar anushashan he toh dikhaya Arjun ne. Aap waha hote toh pakka jaan le lete aise insaan ki. Baaki baat jab ladki ki ijjat par aaye toh Arjun ko wo karna bilkul sahi tha. Us din bhi usne khud ko kaabu he kiya tha chacha ji nahi toh aaj halaat dusre ho sakte the sabhi pariwaro me. Diler bhi hai aur maaf karna bhi jaanta hai.", Vikas ke lafjo me Arjun ke liye pyaar aur parwah thi jisko dekh kar Shankar ji ne halki si gardan hila di sone ki mudra lene se pehle.
"Haan wo badi galti thi Sudarshan ki aur waisa nahi hona chahiye tha. Sher insaan paida hota hai, tayaar nahi kiya ja sakta. Taqat galat ho toh anjaam bhi waisa he milta hai."
"Badi daadi ne laad laad me jyada dheel de di thi usko aur eklauta tha na tab haveli par toh taqat ka bhi pata chal gaya tha. Ab na karega wo aisi himakat aur ab Bijender udhar hai toh samjho hawa bhi tight rahegi kyonki wo kayde se rehne wala atcha insaan hai jiske liye pariwar sabkuch hai.", Vikas ne takiya sahi karte hue aankhen band ki toh Shankar ji bhi anusaran karte hue sone lage. 10 baj chuke the raat ke aur ab haveli me koyi shor bhi na tha.

Raat ke 9 baje Sombir Singh ki haveli me sannata nahi tha. Ek taraf jaha Malti ji apni jethani ke kahe anusaar gehne, kapde aadi sahi se vyavasthit kar rahi thi wahi Sushila Singh apne bete ko bhi sabkuch samjha rahi thi ki kya rasme hoti hai aur fir gaanv wapis aane par sabse pehle kin jaruri riwajo ko poora karna hota hai. Bijender bhi sabkuch sunte hue apne kal pehne jaane wale kapdo ko hangar me daal kar almari me rakh deta hai. Aaj haveli me aur bhi kuch rishteydar the jis wajah se Babita upar wali manjil par usi kamre me apni tayaari kar rahi thi jaha din me wo Richa ke sath thi. Yaha ek dur ki bhabhi bhi uske sath madad kar rahi thi.
"Tere papa toh aise waqt bhi shamil nahi honge hamare sath. Yahi toh anyaye hai jo mujhe hamesha dukh deta hai. Kam se kam tera toh soch sakte the lekin nahi wo toh apne pyaar bhare pariwar ke sath kal ek parai ladki ke baap bann rahe hai.", Madhulata bhi yaha Richa ke liye kapde tayaar kar rahi thi aur jo bhi dena tha Babita ko wo alag se pack karti hui aadatan gussa ho rahi thi.
"Unka asli pariwar toh wahi hai maa. Yaha sirf ek mere liye toh wo sabko chhod nahi denge aur waise bhi haveli aur is gaanv ke hisaab se toh wo mere bas dharam-chacha hai. Aap pehan lo jara byahta ki saree aur maang bhar lo agar main galat keh rahi hu toh?", Kal apni maa dwara pehne jaane wale odhni-kameej aur ghaghre ko dekh kar Richa ne kuch jaruri samaan alag karte hue sawal kiya toh ab Madhulata ki baari thi jawaab dene ki.
"Jitne is haveli me hu toh ye berang kapde bhi mere jiwan ka he sach hai. Main toh tere liye keh rahi thi ki wo aa sakte the yaha."
"Behan ke liye uska bhai aa raha hai toh mujhe utne me he khushi hai. Haan aapki demand apne liye hai toh phone kar ke bula leti, waise bhi aapse toh wo darte he hai.", Richa ne ye prasadhan ka samaan ek bag me daalte hue ek najar apni maa ko khoye dekha aur andar he andar muskurane lagi. Kaha toh Madhulata itna kabhi sunti nahi aur aaj bolti band thi.
"Haan kar liyo jee poora apne sautele bhai se mil kar. Uske gunn toh teri daadi bhi gaati rehti hai, jara parwah nahi ki aise ladke ko pyaar karne me jisne is ghar ke bade bete ko adhmara kar ke narak jaisi zindagi di. Sabko bas wahi bhala lagta hai jo chaati taan kar logo ke ghar ujaade.", Kataksh karte samay wo ye bhi nahi soch rahi thi ki aaj he toh beti ne usko sab samjhaya tha lekin insaan jehrila ho jaye toh fir saaf khoon pasand bhi kaha karta hai.
"Fir toh aapko vidhwa karne wale ke sath mujhe paida karke aapne kuch alag nahi kiya maa. Waise bhi Sudarshan bhaiya ne Arjun ki mangetar ko uthane ki koshish ki thi, mard ladta nahi bachata hai. Jinhone mardangi dikhai wo toh na rahe lekin haan kuch log aise hai jo tab bhi ek parchai the aur aaj bhi wahi hai. Aap kyo bina wajah itna sochti ho? Shaadi yaha hai aur yahi apna pariwar hai. Aap karo apni bhabhi aur mausi se baat main upar ja rahi hu Babita didi ke kamre me. Savere time se na uthi toh jagane aa jana.", Ye make-up aur waisa he samaan ka thaila liye Richa pichle aangan me jaati hui dono bade kutto ko bhi ajaad karti upar chal di.
'Haan ab tu he sikhayegi ke mujhe kiske sath rehna chahiye aur kiske sath nahi? Kar lene do ek raat aur araam us teri pyaari aunty aur Arjun ki maa ko. Meri halat me Shankar hoga toh phir usko bhi akal aayegi ke ek mayaan me 2 talwar rakhna hamesha faayeda ka sauda nahi hota. Tu bach gayi iska shukar mana aur us Arjun ko me dikhati hu Chakravyuh ka 8va darwaja.', Madhulata ne steel ka wo gilas gusse me itni jor se dabaya tha ke naram hatho ne bhi uska akaar badal kar nakara kar diya tha. Gehri saans lene ke baad khud ko sehaj karti wo apne kamre me chali gayi.

Rameshwar ji ke yaha toh 11 baje he nichla hissa shaant hota tha aur wo bhi jaruri nahi tha ke sabhi so jaate the is waqt. Upari bhaag ka koi samay nahi tha jaha pichle bhaag me ladkiya 2 baje tak bhi jaagti rehti thi wahi Arjun waise he kuch na kuch karta rehta tha. Sanjiv bhaiya ko dada ji ne baithak me sone ko kaha tha toh aaj bhi wo yaha akela he kitabo me khoya baitha tha. 2 ghante se wo bas padhai me he laga tha aur ab paani ki bottle khaali dekh kar dusre kamre me aaya toh yaha bhi koyi na tha.
'Aaj toh akele nahi sone wala main. Inka thik hai 4-5 ek sath rehti hai aur udhar Madhuri didi ke sath bhi Priyanka didi aur Komal didi ke sath Rupali didi. Bhaiya itne din baad aaye lekin unhe bhi niche he sula diya.' Apne aap se he baatein karta wo Ritu didi ke kamre me gaya toh jaisa socha tha waisa he najara mila lekin aaj padhaai ki jagah sabhi apni apni dress nikal kar dekh rahi thi ki wo kya pehnengi kal aur uske baad Arjun ko pata tha ke inke makeup wala topic chalu ho jayega.
"Oye, nikal yaha se. Jyada taak-jhaank nahi kar raha?", Ritu didi ne darwaje ke beech khade hote jaise usko andar dekhne se roka. Lekin fir bhi najar aa he gaya ke waha Preeti aur Vicki bhi baithi thi.
"Ye billi aaj raat ko yahi so rahi hai?", Arjun ne itna poocha toh darwaja mooh par he band karti Ritu didi ne bas itna he jawaab diya.
"Ja ke so ja, jyada idhar udhar matt dekha kar.", Aur Arjun apna mooh liye niche chal diya. Usko toh pehle he andesha tha ki yaha filhal ijjatt nahi milne wali thi. Niche rasoi me paani peene ke baad usne maa ka he darwaja halke se khatkaya.
"Neend nahi aa rahi thi kya upar?", Rekha ji ne sar sehlate hue apne laadle ko kamre me andar kiya aur chitkani laga di. Wo amuman darwaja band karti thi lekin chitkani sirf kabhi kabhi. Arjun bhi sirf baniyan aur pajame me bister par ja leta.
"Nahi maa, bhaiya upar hote tab bhi main shayad araam se na so pata.", Bete ki ye baat sunn kar Rekha ji ne aanvla teil ki shishi uthai aur ek angocha apni goad me bichate hue Arjun ka sar waha rakh liya. Hatheli me teil gira kar wo bade pyaar se apne bete ke sar ko maalish se halka karne lagi.
"Pata hai jab sharir jyada kaam kare toh neend asaani se aati hai aur jab dimaag ka prayog jyada ho toh tanaav. Tumhe khud ko kuch kadam peeche he rehna chahiye beta. Abhi sukoon se rahoge toh aage behtar kaam kar sakoge.", Rekha ji agar dil se baat karti thi toh jyadatar wo apne bacho ya jethani ke sath he hota tha. Lekin Arjun isme bhi khaas tha jaha koyi ek paribhasha nahi thi is prem-dor ki.
"Abhi sab thik ho jaye toh fir hamesha sukoon rahega na maa. Aur mujhe atcha lagta hai kyonki aap yahi toh karti hai. Sabko pyaar aur ijjat deti ho, kabhi koyi sawaal nahi koyi maang nahi. Toh batao main aisa kyu na karu?", Arjun neeche leta hua apni maa ke chehre ko dekh raha tha jiske sath wo kisi ki tulna nahi karta tha. Rekha ji ke chehre par bas hamesha wali muskaan thi apne bete ke liye.
"Wo mera dayitva hai beta aur mujhe ye hamesha karna he hoga. Tumhe abhi kaksha me ghoomna chahiye naa ki khud kendra bann na. Mujhe naaj hai tum par kyonki jab har insaan ye kehta hai ke Arjun samajhdar hai, sabka khayaal rakhta hai ya suraksha karna jaanta hai dil ko ek khushi milti hai jiske liye shabd bhi kam lage. Lekin kya ye sahi hai jab tum ek kishor ho aur ghar ki pehchan abhi tumse nahi honi chahiye beta. Kisi ko niraash kabhi matt karna aur hamesha bado ki baat ko vachan ki tarah lena lekin apne is mann ko thoda simit karo jo bina kisi ke maange parwah dene chala jata hai.", Rekha ji ki baaton ki gehrai batati thi ki unka gyaan sadharan nahi hai. Ek kishor bete ki parwah aur jiwan ke sunehre palo ka mulya unhe maloom tha. Ungliya sachmuch Arjun ko araam deti hui jaisi kisi adrishya jakdan se ajaad kar rahi thi.
"Fir bhi maa, agar sab ekdum sahi ho jaye toh atcha rahega na."
"Tu aisa jawaab dega ye ummeed nahi thi Arjun. There is a complete process behind every clear project. If you add additionl force or skip any required step, it will ruin it's nature and formation. Bacha 5 mahine me bahar nahi nikal sakte ya fir agar kahu ki prithvi 12 ghante me apni dhuri par ghoomne lage toh jiwan he nahi hoga. Sab thik karne ki koshish me utawalapan aur jaldbaji wahi atirikt urja aur gayab kramank ka kaam karenge jo ummeed se itar parinaam dega.", Ab kahi Arjun lajwaab ho gaya tha. Usne apne papa wale kaam me kuch aisa he kiya tha, dada ji bhi toh usko mana kar rahe the ki wo dur rahe ab aisi kisi bhi ghatna se.
"Sorry maa, main samajh gaya ke aap kya kehna chah rahi ho. Galti ho jaati hai jab main jyada sochne lag jata hu."
"Wahi toh maine kaha tha na sabse pehle ki apne mann ko niyantrit karo. Abhi jo saamne dikhai de uske baare me socho, us se judi pareshani ke baare me pata karo aur koshish karo ke wo sahi tarike aur sahi insaan ki madad se suljhe. Ghar me raho, apne dosto ke sath milo-julo, jo ghar ke kaam hamesha karte rehte ho un par dhyaan do aur sahi disha me apne lakshya par kaam karo. Mera sabkuch sirf tumhi ho aur mera jiwan tabhi sarthak hoga jab tum apne jiwan se santusht hoge. Dil se, dimaag ya bahri kamaai se nahi. In kandho par itna bojh abhi se matt lo ki jarurat padne par ye jhuk jaaye.", Sar thapakne ke baad wo uske kandhe aur gardan par khaas tarah se dabaav deti hui maalish karne lagi.
"Aap itna gehrai se kaise jaanti hai sabkuch? Matlab har topic par aap pakad rakhti hai lekin sabse jyada aap insaan ko samajhti hai maa. Lekin fir bhi itni shaant aur bas meri parchaai si rehti hai.", Arjun ne lete hue he maa ke gaal par haule se hath firaya toh wo bhi jhuk kar uske maathe par pyaar dene ke baad muskurane lagi.
"Teri parchhai nahi hu main beta, tu meri tapasya ka wo vardaan hai jiska aavran ban kar mujhe he rehna hoga. Chal ab tu araam kar main hath dho kar aati hu.", Arjun ke sar par lagaya teil us safed angoche se atche se saaf karne ke baad unhone kandhe aur chehre ko bhi pyaar se saaf kiya jis se kahi bhi teil ka nishaan na rahe aur kamre se nikal kar bathroom chali gayi.
Arjun bas yahi soch raha tha ke maa itni asimit gyaan rakhti hai aur utni he shaant rehti hai. Ye kaisa santulan bana liya hai unhone jisme koyi tark ya vivaad ki jhalak dekhne ko nahi milti. Maa usko bhi itna jaanti hai jitna wo khud nahi jaan paya. Tabhi toh wo uska aavran hai. Idhar soch se bahar aaya toh ab dimag bilkul he shaant ho gaya tha agla drishya dekh kar. Maa ne wahi kaali nighty pehan li thi jo usne unhe uphaar swaroop di thi.
"Shaant hone ke baad he tum so paaoge.", Badi light ko band karte hue unhone wo zero ki roshni jala di thi lekin unke saamne shayad pehle wali light bhi bematlab he thi. Is naisargik sondarya ki tulna karna bematlab he tha.
