Update 192 (4)
Vivaah
"Beta, tum dono apne sath Nikki aur Pihu ko bhi le jao. Ye sab samaan tumhari maa wale kamre me rakha hai aur baaki khud bhi dekh lena.", Subhash ji ne apne bhatije Mohit aur bete Akhil ko phero me jaruri samaan le kar aane ke baare me tafsil se samjhate hue apne bade bhai sahab se bhi charcha ki thi. Rakesh Gaur bhi idhar he tha lekin is vivaah me jaise wo mann maar kar aaya tha waise he filhal wo apne aap me he khoya raha. Bache apne sath aur bhi 2 sewak le kar chale gaye the aur udhar mandap me sabhi tayaari charam par thi. Dono vedi tayaar karne ke sath un par alag alag pandit virajman the jo aapas me baat karte hue hawan me lakdi aadi saja rahe the.
Dusri taraf Shastri ji ke sath Col sahab aur Rajkumar-Lalita ji ne bhi har samagri ke sath uchit samaan waha rakhwa diya tha. Log jo araam kar rahe the wo bhi ab kapde aadi badal kar mandap me aa chuke the. Farsh par he darjano gadde bichane ke sath sath kursiyan bhi waiter laga kar coffee chai ke tayaari karne lage jaisa unhe Rameshwar ji se aadesh mila tha. Krishneshwar ji toh idhar aane se pehle he hukka gudguda chuke the.
"Yajmaan, var-vadhu ko bulwaya jaaye. Mahurat ka yahi uchit samay hai.", Ye Rameshwar ji ki taraf se aaye pujari ji the jinhone Madhuri aur Gorav ke phere padhne the aur unki baat se ittefaaq rakhte hue Subhash ji ke sath aaye pujari ji ne bhi dusre jode ko bulwane ka kaha. Ab tak unki taraf se bhi tayaari ho chuki thi. Madhuri-Radhika ko jab laaya gaya toh Radhika ke chehre par halki thakaan si najar aayi. Din ka safar aur itni tayari ke baad aise bheed-bhaad wale mahol me ye hona laajmi bhi tha.
"Aap dono idhar baithiye, kanyadaan kar rahe hai aap dono.", Rajkumar ji is baat par apne pita ki taraf dekhne lage jo haami bhar kar unhe aashvaste karte dikhe. Lalita ji bhi sar pe saya karke apne pati ke barabar he baith gayi. Dusri taraf Subhash ji ke sath Devika ji bhi aise he baith chuki thi jaha Radhika aur Sanjiv ke phere hone wale the. Umed, Daleep, Shankar, Narinder, Mehul, Param, Bhuppi aadi bhi khaane se faarig ho kar vedi ke kareeb he apni apni biwiyon ke sath the aur lambi mantrana ke baad agni prajwalit karte hue mangal gaan prarambh hua.
Arjun ko kaan me Kaushalya ji kuch samjhati rahi dono taraf apni pani najar rakhe hue. Bagal me he Arjun ke pita aur maa bhi uske sath satt kar he baithe the. Dhero vachan manmaane ke baad takriban aadhe ghante baad dono he jodo ko apni apni vedi ke gird ek prachalit niyam ke tehat phere lene ka bataya gaya, aapas me gathbandhan karke unhe joda bana kar. Mahol me mandap ke kareeb toh gambhirta barkaraar thi lekin piche ladkiyon aur bhabhi-aurato ke beech hansi-majaak, bhavishya ke vivaah ityadi ki atkale chal rahi thi. Kahi halki hansi toh kahi ek dusre ko choonti kaat ti ye baalayen apne he tarike se in phero ka aanand lene lagi.
"Shankar, dekh isko jara. Batti bujh gayi tere laal ki.", Aisa pehli baar hua tha ki Arjun kisi karye me shamil tha lekin aaj uski bhi aankhen neend se band ho chuki thi. Raat ke 3 baje chalte phero ke beech he wo apne paita ke kandhe par kab neend me jhool gaya usko pata he na chala. Kaushalya ji dhyaan is taraf gaya toh unhone Shankar ko agaah kiya jo bade gor se phero par dhyaan kiye apni biwi se kuch baat kar rahe the. Arjun ke sharir ko sarakte dekh aur apni maa ki baat sunn kar unhone hath se nischint rehne ka ishara diya aur Arjun ki bagal me hath daal kar usko bade dhyaan se apni goad me sar rakhte hue lita liya. Kaushalya ji ne bhi apni peeth peeche rakhi gaddi apne bete ki taraf badhaai toh unhone pratiuttar me muskaan dete hue wo gaddi apni jaangh par rakh kar Arjun ka sar pehle se behtar avastha me us par tika diya. Phero ko dekhte hue wo anjaane he apne bete ke sar ko thapkane lage the aur Arjun bhi aur jyada pasar kar bilkul apne bister ki tarah waha soya raha.
"Papa chai lijiye. Aur ye phere dekhne ki jagah aapki goad me pasra hua hai? Uth.."
"Shhhh.. Ye thaka hua hai beta. Sone do thodi der nahi toh sar bhari rahega iska baad me.", Rupali ki baat ka jawab dete hue unhone dusre hath se chai ka gilas le liya. Mantra abhi bhi jaari the aur har phere ke sath ek naya vachan dono jodo ko shapath roop lena padta. Aage jaha bhi jarurat padti Rajkumar ji apni patni sang wo daan-samagri pesh karte. Waisa he dusri aur Subhash ji ke sath Devika ji bhi dohrati. Maang me sindoor bhi bhara gaya aur mangalsutra bhi pehnaye gaye. Nirantar ye karya koyi dedh-paune 2 ghante chala tha aur pichli taraf bhi kuch log wahi gaddo par so chuke the, swabhavik tha itna jaagne par.
"Rajkumar ji, bitiya apne sasural jaane se pehle ghar-phera karke jaati hai. Waha ki tayaari?", Pujari ji ne yaha phere purn hote he Rajkumar ji se sawaal kiya.
"Haan waha ki tayaari poori hai pujari ji. Aap log itne chai lijiye, ladki ki maa, daadi aur bua waha pahuch jaati hai. Hum log sath he chal padenge.",Rajkumar ji se pehle Pandit ji ne he jawaab de diya. Somnath ji se unki yahi baatchit chal rahi thi.
"Ji aur jitne samdhan ji waha pahuch kar intjaam dekhti hai itne hum yahi se hamari bitiya ki vidaai bhi karwane ka prabandh karte hai. Dono ko samay bhi mil jaayega aur udhar Madhuri bitiya sasural ke liye niklengi toh hamari bitiya grah-pravesh karegi. Thik hai na Rajkumar ji?", Subhash ji ki baat se sabhi shemat the aur Sushila bua ne alag he sur chhed diya.
"Pehle dono taraf se challan katwa lo bhai sahab. Main ladke ki badi bua hu aur idhar ladki ki bhi. Sehre aur phere par pehla haq mera hai. Na toh soch liyo.", Jaha mahilao ke chehre par apni beti ke jaane ki wajah se dukh ke bhaav the wahi purush thode gambhir lekin Sushila ji ki baat sunn kar sabhi ki hansi nikal gayi. Somnath ji ne toh aage badh kar apne hath ka sone ka kada he Sushila ji ke aage kar diya jo unhone furti se lene ke baad ek baar dekha aur fir Akhil ke hath me pehna diya.
"Phero me bado ke hath se sona milna matlab tumhara bhi rasta saaf. Maine behan ji se baat poochi thi toh pata chala ke ab tumhe jimmewar beta bann na hai. Ye tumhare tau ji ne ek tarah se apna hath tumhare hawale kar diya beta. Sabke saamne.", Sushila ji ne baat kehte kehte Akhil ko wo kada pehna bhi diya tha jo hairan tha aur utne he hairaan-khush uske pariwar wale.
"Aunty main toh abhi...
"Beta tu khaya kam kar aur suna jyada kar. Teri behan ko lene tu aayega na? Security wale toh na uske bhai lagte? Ab teri behan ko tabhi ghar bhejenge jab tu time se waha se niklega aur khud lene aayega. Galat kahi kya Somnath ji?", Ab toh vidhayak sahab bhi khush the aur Subhash ji toh apni biwi ke kaan me saaf kehte sune gaye ki jo 24 baras me na hua wo dekh lo kaha hua. Radhika toh Akhil ke gale lagna chahti thi lekin usko mauka deri se milna tha. Ab Akhil ko uski maa ne apne paas bula liya toh Sushila bua ne Rajkumar ji ki taraf aankhen uchka kar dekha. Is baar toh Madhu, Ruchita, Shalini aadi bhi unke sath thi.
"Dekh lo Raju bhai ab baari aapki he hai aur ek baalak toh main is taraf ka bhi sudharungi.", Wo keh toh rahi thi lekin is beech unhone ye bhi dekh liya tha ke Arjun nischint apne pita ki goad me sar tikaye soya hua tha. Rajkumar ji ne bhi is avsar par kalai me pehna kada utaar dena chaha toh Sushila ji ne mana kar diya. Babita bhi apni maa ko dhyaan se dekh rahi thi.
"Kada na chahiye bhai, wo toh ek ho chuka. Lalita apni chaadar Preeti ne de diye grah-pravesh ke baad.", Waise toh Preeti ko laal saya dene ka haq Rekha ko tha aur wo samay bhi abhi dur tha jab Preeti apna karwachauth ka vrat rakhti lekin Sushila ji ne jaise yaha sabke saamne he Arjun ka Preeti ke sath rishta ghoshit he kar diya.
"Maan li teri ye shart bhi. Ab aur koyi demand toh nahi hai Sushila?", Kaushalya ji ne hanste hue kaha tha aur unhone ye bhi dekha tha ki Preeti is baare me Komal se pooch rahi thi aur matlab pata chalte he wo unki aad me sharam se sar dabati hui sabse katrane lagi.
"Na aur toh kuch na chahiye. Baaki dono dulhe apni apni juttiyan na bacha paaye.", Matlab Sushila ji ne he madad kar di thi ladkiyon ki Sanjiv aur Gorav ki jooti gayab karwane me.
"Gorav ne mandap se likadna hai toh neg dena padega. Aur Sanjiv chahe bhai lagta ho lekin hisaab toh isne bhi karna padega ladkiyan ka.", Babita arthpurn dhang se apni baat keh kar Kaushalya ji ke he pas aa baithi. Is beech kisi ne Arjun ko bhi chutki kaat kar jaga diya tha.
"Ho kya raha hai? Sone bhi nahi dete aur choonti kisne kaati.?", Wo aankh malta hua khada hua toh ab sabke sath sath Shankar ji bhi hans rahe the. Wo jagah dekh kar jhempta hua saamne apni daadi se lipat ke ja baitha.
"Bailbudhi, tere bhai ke toh phere bhi ho gaye aur tu apne kamre me bhi ja pahucha sapno me.", Kaushalya ji Arjun ko dapat rahi thi aur wo dekh raha tha ki Zubeidaa dur khadi hui Vinni ke sath hans rahi thi aur Arjun ko jeebh chida kar bata rahi thi ki ye usne he kiya tha.
"Demand toh koyi bol nahi raha. Jooti deni hai ya ab aise he jana padega?", Abhishek ji ne apne bhai ki taraf se awaaj di thi aur saamne aayi Alka, Aarti.
"Jooti ek sharat pe milegi jija ji. Paise nahi chahiye badle me sirf promise."
"Chalo bhai promise se baat banti hai toh fir yahi sahi. Batao jo bhi vaada chahti ho aap log."
"Gorav jija ji 2 din ke liye didi ke sath hamare yaha aayenge wo bhi next week me.", Alka ne Aarti ki jagah jo jawaab diya us par Gorav sehre se he Madhuri ko dkehne laga jaha bina najre mile Madhuri ne palke jhuka di.
"Waise toh ye saaf saaf dabav banaya ja raha hai aur Gorav ko sirf dedh he chuttiyan milti hai lekin chalo ye tayaar hai. Ab jooti toh do."
"Jooti uthaai he kab thi humne? Wo toh wahi rakhi hai jaha utaari thi.", Priyanka bhi inme shamil ho kar jab batane lagi toh sabhi hans diye kyonki sachmuch kisi ne jooti dhoondi he nahi thi aur ab is dekha dekhi me Sanjiv ki taraf jab jootiyan dhoondi gayi toh jarur gayab thi.
"Aapko kya lagta hai hum in jaise hai Sanjiv jija ji? Hum verbal promise me believe nahi karte. Ab toh 21000 se ek rupaya kam na lene wale hum log.", Pihu chehak rahi thi aur uski haan me haan milati Nikki, Urvashi ji aur baaki log.
"Bhaiya ko jootiyan chori he nahi hui.", Arjun pehli baar bola tha aur uski baat sunn kar sabhi ek dusre ko dekhne lage wahi Sanjiv bhaiya mand mand muskura rahe the apni biwi ki bagal me khade.
"Hamare paas he hai inki jootiyan. Dekh lo sabne dhoondi lekin nahi mili na.?"
"Wo isliye ki bhaiya ki jootiyan maine utha li thi aur waha apni utaar di thi. Aur wo aap logo ne nahi churaai, isme hamara he koyi mila hua hai.",Arjun ke jawaab se ladkiyon ke chehre he utar gaye the aur uski behne shor machati hui jaise unka manobal aur girane lagi. Arjun najre utha kar Zubeidaa ko dekhta raha jo sakpaka gayi.
"Zubeidaa didi, meri jooti he mili aapko churane ke liye.? Maine suna tha aapko aur Nikki didi ko baat karte hue.", Arjun ne daadi ki kursi ke niche se plastic ka bag nikal kar bhaiya ko jootiyan nikal unke kadmo me rakh di. Aisa kare ke dauraan he wo Radhika bhabhi ke paanv bhi sparsh kar gaya.
'De do aashirwad. Wo sabse pehle hum dono ke paanv chhone ka mujhe bata chuka tha.', Sanjiv bhaiya ko toh jooti pehnate hue Arjun ne unke charan sparsh kar liye the aur yaha Radhika duvidha me thi ki wo pehle bado ke paanv chhune se pehle khud aashirwad kaise de de.
"Beti Devar-Bhabhi ka rishta aisa he hota hai.", Shashtri ji ne bhi ye dekha tha aur unki baat sunn kar Radhika ne najre jhukaye he Arjun ke sar pe hath rakh diya. Nikki aur unki party ke toh chehre he utre hue the jootiyan haarne par aur ab Umed ji yaha se apni maa, chachi, Lalita ji aur Sushila ji ko liye ghar ki taraf chal diye. Unhe waha tayaari karni thi aur unke peeche he Col sahab ka pariwar, Daleep ji bhi Manju-Saroj ke sath aur Narinder ji bhi ghar ki betiyon ko apni biwi ke sath liye chale gaye.
"Idhar aap log Radhika bitiya ki bhi bidaai karwaye aur meri maane toh aap log ghar bhi aa jaye. Roodhiwadi baat toh main karunga nahi toh pariwar ke sadasyo ki tarah aap log bhi shamil ho kar chai nashte ke baad he vida lenge toh behtar rahega.", Rameshwar ji ne Radhika ke pariwar walo ko sapaat nyota de diya tha jis par Subhash ji apne bhai sahab se kuch charcha karne ke baad bole.
"Itne maan ke liye toh hum aapke shukar-gujaar hai Pandit ji lekin bitiya ki yaha se vidaai karne ke baad dhero kartavya aur bhi hai jaise mehman aur rishteydar. Lekin ye nashta hamara shaniwar ke liye taye raha. Madhuri bitiya se bhi tabhi mil lenge aur nischint ho kar pariwar me bhi samay vyatit karenge. Baaki ye hamara sirf anurodh hai."
"Jaisa thik lage manyavar. Chalo bhai ek dusre ka chehre kya dekh rahe ho.? Madhu bitiya, thoda inke sath bhi sehyog karo.", Madhu ji toh apne pita ki baat sunn kar Devika ji ke sath he chali gayi. Sabhi log us taraf he jaane lage the jaha Radhika ka pariwar ruka tha. Unke ghar ki badi mahilaon ne tayaari kar rakhi thi jaha kuch riwaaj aur lokgeet ke sath Dulhe aur dulhan ki aarti utaari jaane lagi. Wahi idhar mandap me Arjun apni jootiyan Zubeidaa se maang raha tha jo idhar se udhar bhaag kar kabhi is vedi ke saamne aa khadi hoti toh kabhi dusri ke. Preeti ke bagal me sar dhake khadi Afsana bhi ye khel kood dekh rahi thi.
"Ye Zubeidaa didi kar kya rahi hai?", Preeti ka dhyaan achanak he is baat par gaya jis tarah Zubeidaa jalti hui vedi ke aage ghoom rahi thi. Dekhne wale ko toh yahi lagta ke wo Arjun ko chhaka rahi hai lekin jaise he wo dusri vedi ki taraf gayi toh kuch waqt jaise Arjun unke aage bhagta pratit hua. Preeti ek alag he ginti me lagi thi aur thik uske anumaan par Zubeidaa apni jagah se mudd kar Arjun ke saamne aa ruki. Bhaag-daud se wo bhaari seena thirak raha tha aur Zubeidaa ne thoda jhukte hue Arjun ke saamne wo dono jootiyan rakh kar kaan pakad liye.
"Sorry.. bas tumhare maje le rahi thi aur ab mere me himmat nahi bachi. Tum jeete main haari."
'Haar toh bahot si gayi hai iske saamne lekin jis tarah aap haari ho mujhe toh nahi lagta ke is se Arjun jeeta hai.', Preeti ne badbadate hue aisa kaha jo Afsana ko spasht sunaai na diya.
"Ye baji bhi na mauka nahi dekhti kabhi. Aap he dekhe kaise bacho jaise khelne me lagi hai Arjun ke sath. Aur Arjun bhi bade nahi hue abhi tak."
"Wo toh bahot bada ho chuka hai Afsana bas bachpana karne ki aadat nahi ja rahi. Aapko aunty bula rahi hai.", Preeti ne jaise he Afsana ko dhyaan udhar karwaya jidhar uski maa dono behno ko bula rahi thi, Zubeidaa Afsana se bhi pehle us taraf daud gayi. Unki maa ne pehle toh dhimi awaaj me fatkaar lagaai fir khud he apni beti ka dupatta sneh se sar pe sahi se karte hue dono ka apne sath le liya.
"Ae mister ye sab kya tha?"
"Wo meri jooti le kar bhaag gayi thi Zubeidaa didi. Unhe he pakad raha tha. Thak gayi toh wapis kar di unhone khud he."
"Tum chalo toh sahi ghar fir batati hu ke jooti pakad rahe the ya kuch aur."
"Aisa kyu bol rahi ho? Tumne dekha nahi khud?"
"Bachu tumhe pata hai tum kaha khel rahe the? Aur kaise?", Arjun ka dhyaan jab vedi ki taraf karwaya toh wo abhi bhi nasamajh ki tarah Preeti ko sawaliyan najro se dekhe ja raha tha.
"Mandap me tum jis tarah bhaag rahe the, Zubeidaa didi ne is taraf 4 baar tumhe peeche bhagaya aur fir wo udhar 3 baar aise ghoomi thi ki wo kuch tumahre peeche rahe.", Arjun ek baar toh hairaan hua is samiksha se lekin fir khud he Preeti ke kareeb hote hue uske gaal par halki si chapat lagate hue bola.
"Bewkoof kahi ki. Pehli baat toh unhe is sabka sahi se pata nahi aur dusri baat ye hai ki 2 vediyon par aisi kriya nahi ho sakti. Wo waise he shararat kar rahi thi Afsana ko dikhane ke liye tabhi unhone thik 7 baar ye kiya. Tumhe kya lagta hai ye sab aise he kiya? Khaane par he humne ye baat ki thi aur main sharat haar gaya tha unse isliye wo ab Afsana ko satayengi yahi keh kar jo unhone dikhaya. Tum bhi na? Chalo kuch dikhata hu tumhe.", Arjun Preeti ko sath liye us taraf chal diya jaha baaki sabhi the. Sanjiv bhaiya ko aakhir usne he toh leke jana tha apni car se. Preeti Arjun ke sath us jamghat par pahuchi jaha geet gaaye ja chuke the aur ab sabhi log Radhika ko vida karte aashirwad dene me jute the.
'Dhire se awaaj lagao 'begum', fir dekhna maje.', Arjun ne yaha Preeti ko he aage kar diya. Wo hichkicha rahi thi lekin Afsana Zubeidaa kuch duri par thi Radhika-Sanjiv se isliye usne aisa karne ka soch liya. Waise usko maja bhi aa raha Arjun ke sath mil kar aisi shararat karne me.
'Ruko.. bolo Afsana begum.', Arjun ne ab naam bhi jodd diya tha jis par Preeti usko pehle toh hairat se dekhne lagi fir hans padi. Thoda Afsana ke kareeb ho kar Preeti ne pehle toh gala khankhara fir awaaj Arjun ki tarah thodi mardana karte hue Afsana ko peehe se he boli.
"Afsana begum.", Aur itna keh kar wo Arjun ke peeche ja khadi hui lekin Afsana ka toh wajood he kanp gaya aur jab peeche Arjun ko dekha toh chehre par pehle ghabrahat aur fir sharam ki laali. Ye Awaaj Zubeidaa ko bhi saaf sunaai di thi aur ab wo bhi Arjun ko dekh utni he hairaan hui. Fir apni behan ko dekha jo ungli se chunni lapete jameen ko dekhti hui aahista se boli.
"Aap sirf Afsana bhi pukar sakte hai na? Begum kehna sahi nahi hota. Kahiye hum kya kar sakte hai?", Larajti awaaj me bolti hui Afsana ko dekh Arjun apni hansi rok he na paya aur Preeti ko pakad kar dono ke saamne kar diya
"Isne ki hai ye masti aur Zubeidaa didi aap sharat haar gayi hai.", Arjun Preeti ko he fansa kar bhaag gaya tha car ki aur lekin ab Preeti ko Afsana aise dekh rahi thi jaise wo abhi ro degi.
"Sorry.. dekho ye sab Zubeidaa didi aur Arjun ne pehle se he mil kar plan kar rakha tha. Abhi mujhe laga tha ke main usko fasa dungi tumhare saamne lekin ye toh mujhe he aap dono ke saamne chhod kar bhaag khada hua. Ghar chal kar iski tabiyat se khinchaai karte hai.", Preeti khisakna chahti thi lekin Zubeidaa ne aisa hone na diya.
"Tum kahogi aur hum dono behne maan lengi? Afsa jaan.. Ye Preeti aur Arjun na dono he mil kar hume pareshan kar rahe hai. Kal wo mujhe bhi keh raha tha ke Zubeidaa begum, Afsana begum nahi dikhai de rahi. Aur aaj toh usne khud he tumhe begum bola lekin baat Preeti par daal kar dikha raha hai ke wo saaf hai. Ye Preeti bhi kam nahi hai."
"Haan wo hume maloom hai baaji. Preeti ye baaji aur Arjun mil kar hum dono se majaak kar rahe hai.", Afsana Preeti ka hath pakde waha se alag he ho chali apni behan ko wahi chhod kar.
"Waah beta.. hamari billi humse he miyaun.. Koyi na Afsa darling.. Bolti toh Arjun ke saamne he band hoti hai tumhari. Wo begum bola toh gaal laal ho gaye.. aaye haaye..", Zubeidaa apne me he hansti hui kahe ja rahi thi aur idhar Shankar ji ke kehne ke sath he baaki log bhi apni apni gaadi ki taraf badh chale. Arjun ki car ki pichli seat ke darwaje ko Subhash ji ne khola aur Radhika ke bhai ne apni behan ko baithane ke baad gale lag kar parso lene aane ka wada kiya. Car ke peeche dhaka lagate he bagal me baithi Madhu bua ne usko car aage badhane ka aadesh de diya. Peeche Devika ji aur unki jethani ke sath baaki aaurate chawal, sikke aadi uchaal rahi thi. Aankhon me beti ko vida karne par ek swabhavik nami sabke thi aur inse baat karte Rameshwar ji kuch waqt yaha maujood rahe.
"Bua, meri neend toh poori nahi hui aur ab Madhuri didi ke sath bhi jana hai.", Car ke bheetar ki khamoshi ko Arjun ne he bhang kiya. Pichli seat par Sanjiv bhaiya ke sath Alka aur Radhika bhabhi khamoshi se baithe hue the aur Arjun apne se aage chalti baaki car dekhta hua aaine se apni bhabhi ko bhi dekhne ki koshish kar raha tha. Radhika bhabhi ki aankhon se nikle aansuon se unke gaal tak kuch kajal beh aaya tha.
"Tujhe maa ya papa ne bola hai kya Madhuri ke sath jaane ke liye?", Bua ki baat sunn kar Arjun kuch sakte me aa gaya.
"Nahi toh bua lekin ye bhi toh rasam he hoti hai na?"
"Hoti hogi lekin parso Gorav khud aayega Madhuri ko yaha le kar. Phir idhar se he wo dono 5 din ke liye Dehradun-Nainital jaane wale hai. Parso he teri bhabhi ke pariwar wale bhi aayenge. Tujhe 2 din kahi nahi jana aur tu ghar chal kar jitna dil kare araam se so. Pata hai uske baad tu bhi gaanv nikal jaayega poore ek mahine ke liye.", Ye sunn kar Arjun ke toh apni didi ke sath banaye sabhi plan chowpat he ho gaye the. Wo toh fainsla he kiye baitha tha ke ghar jaate he 2 jodi kapde le kar wo didi ke sath unke sasural nikal jaayega.
"Kyon tujhe 2 din apni bhabhi ke paas nahi rehna jo itna udaas ho gaya?", Madhu bua bhi aakhir Kaushalya ji ki he beti thi jo kataaksh aur hansi majaak ke maamle me un par he gayi thi. Arjun unki baat sunn kar jhemp gaya tha lekin peeche baithe Sanjiv ke chehre par muskaan aa gayi.
"Ye agar jana he chahta hai toh jaane dijiye na bua ji. Waise bhi shikayte toh sirf isko he hoti hai.", Sanjiv bhaiya ne jab mooh khola toh Madhu bua bhi hansi na rok saki.
"Sunn liya tune ullu-ram.? Waise toh maine papa se kaha bhi tha ke Arjun ko yahi rok lo 10-12 din jis se tu apne bhai aur bhabhi ke sath samay bita sake. Lekin unhone he kaha ke tujhe jana chahiye aur Sanjiv bhi parso shaam ko Delhi chala jayega teri bhabhi ke sath aur waha se Kerla 10 din ke liye. Peeche ghar me tere papa, tau ji aur chacha hai he isliye tujh par dabaav nahi hai. Bas 2 din tu ghar araam kar aur sabke sath time bita fir mahine baad he tujhse mil paayenge. Radhika beta, tum bilkul bhi matt sochna ki tum ek bahu ho ab. Papa ne pehle bhi kaha hai ki unke liye tum Komal-Madhuri ki tarah ghar ki beti he ho. Haan ab badi tum he ho toh apni nanado ke sath saheli ke sath sath margdarshak ki tarah rehna.", Madhu bua ke kehne par Radhika bhabhi ne bas sar hila diya 'ji' ke sath. Aage jyada baatein na hui kyonki Arjun ab khuli sadak par apni pita ke sath aghosht si race laga chuka tha. Shehar wala pull aate aate Shankar ji bhi apni car ki pichle shishe se Arjun ko dekh muskurate hue 110 ke par car le ja chuke the aur thik peeche Arjun bhi utni he raftar par tha. Arjun ne khuli sadak dekh jaise he raftar badhaai Shankar ji us se pehle he baaki caro ko peeche chhodte apni biwi aur betiyon ke sath najro se aujhal ho gaye. Arjun ne haar maante hue 110 se raftar fir se 70 he kar di. Madhu bua mand mand muskura rahi thi.
"Un se nahi jeet sakta tu beta. Wo tere pita hai aur aisa unhone jaanboojh kiya jis se safar jaldi poora ho sake. Papa khud kayi baar unki driving ka prayog apne case me kar chuke hai aur tumhe toh car chalate mahina he hua hai.", Madhu bua jaise bilkul Shankar ji jaisi he thi soch ke maamle me. Wo uksa rahi thi Arjun ko lekin aaine se dekhte Sanjiv bhaiya ne naa me gardan hila kar usko shaant rehne ka ishara diya.
"Papa se jeetna bhi kaun chahta hai bua ji? Aur rahi baat mahine wali toh main shayad unhe dekh kar he seekha hu. Jab kabhi aapko kahi jaldi ho toh bata dijiyega, shayad papa ke aaspas time me he pahucha du. Aur bhabhi, gaanv se aane ke baad aapka permanent driver main he rehne wala hu.", Arjun ne fir se Sanjiv bhaiya ko dekh kar ye kaha tha jis par na chahte hue bhi Radhika ki hansi nikal gayi.
"Aap aise he hai devar ji?", Pehli baar wo boli thi aur lagbhag ghar bhi aa he chuka tha.
"Aap nahi bhabhi. Arjun.. Aur hum aa gaye aapke permanent thikane par. Tayaar ho jao ek baar fir se wo geet sunn ne ke liye jinka ek bhi shabd kisi ko samajh nahi aane wala lekin sabhi chorus is tarah karenge jaise yahi log hai aavishkar karne wale.", Arjun ne dekh liya tha ke ghar ke bahar Lalita ji kalash rakh rahi thi aur unki bagal me daadi khadi thi dhero mahiloan aur uski behno ke sath. Aarti ne aage badh kar bhabhi ki taraf ka darwaja khola toh sath he Sanjiv bhaiya bhi utre. Arjun car me baitha hua he sab dekh raha tha. Fir se chawal-phool barsaye gaye aur dono ko daaye-bahe barabar khada karke bhabhi ke paanv se kalash udel kar unhe andar le jaya gaya.
"Oye kya dekh rahe ho yaha akele baith kar.?", Preeti toh kapde bhi badal aayi thi aur wo car ke barabar khadi Arjun se he baat kar rahi thi jo saamne dekh muskura raha tha.
"Tum bagal me rehti ho aur hamari shaadi kahi dur hogi fir tum wapis is ghar me aaogi aur ye sab karogi. Rona dhona bhi hoga kya? Aur utni dur jaane ki jarurat bhi kya hai jab ghar sath sath hai? Ye beech wala plot bhi bana kar dono he ghar ek kar dete hai."
"Main toh fir bhi bagal wale ghar se aaungi lekin jara apni badi biwi ke baare me itna sab sochna. Shayad koyi solution nikaal paaye hum log.", Yaha toh Preeti uspe he palat war karke andar chali gayi thi. Naraaj toh wo thi he Arjun se lekin pyaar aur parwah kahi jyada thi. Arjun mann he mann bola.
'Aaj ka kuch pata nahi aur kal ke plan bana lo. Sahi hai maano darling. Waise galat toh kuch nahi kaha. Beda garak ho is samaaj ka. Jungle wala kanoon he thik tha. Chhhiii... yahi thik hai. Jo hoga wo ho ke he rahega lekin didi se mil lu pehle.' Arjun ko jab dhyaan aaya ki ab Madhuri didi bhi jaane wali hai toh wo turant bahar nikla.

"Aap Gorav se milne ke baad araam kar lena ji. Saari raat jaag kar nikali hai aur badhti umar me aisa karna thik bhi nahi aapke liye.", Baithak me sabhi bujurg log baith the aur kuch unki aulaad. Kaushalya ji ne bahu ka grahpravesh karwane ke baad yaha chai-nashta lagwate hue dhimi awaaj me Rameshwar ji se kaha toh unhone isharo se he kuch waqt baad baat karne ka kaha.
"Krishan, tum iski charcha agar Devki se bhi kar lete toh hum koyi fainsla le paate! Satish aur Shastri ji ki bhi yahi raaye hai aur apne doctor sahab toh inse bhi alag vichar rakhte hai.", Yaha baithak ke kiwad alag he band the jabki baaki ghar me khoob tayariyan ho rahi thi. Sabhi apni neend aur thakawat bhula kar Madhuri ke sasural walo ke sath sath Sanjiv aur Radhika ki dekh rekh me lage hue the. Kaushalya ji ne Purnima ji se he charo bacho ko ghar ke mandir me aashirwad dilwane ki jimmewari di thi. Purnima ji naha kar tayaar thi aur charo ke tilak aadi karke unhone mandir me pariwarik rasme aarambh ki. Baithak me Ab Shankar, Umed, Vinod, PP Sharma ek sath sath Roshni, Damini aur Devki ji ko bhi baitha liya gaya tha.
"Aap kya kehte hai Sangwan sahab? Bayaan toh chhoti guddi (Roshni) ne bhi diya hai ke Raman iske sath thik vyavahar na kar raha tha. Binod ne toh bhaiya ko he bata diya tha is baare me jo kal hone ja raha tha. Kanoon ki samajh is kisaan ko toh bilkul bhi nahi hai. Bas pariwar ka naam kharaab na ho, Chhoti guddi ka bhavishya jo likha hai so ab wahi hai.", Is kamre me mahol kuch gambhir aur kuch gumgin tha.
"Raman ka hissa main tatkaal he Roshni aur Anjali ke naam karwa deta hu pita ji. Baaki sarkari kaam aur is ghatna ke baare me mere vichar bhi aap jaise he hai.", PP Sharma ne apna mann bataya toh Damini ne bhi apne pati ko prashansha se dekha.
"Kanoon ki najar me toh jis tarah ye sab hua hai us hisaab se Rajesh ne humlawar ko aatmraksha me maar diya. Chalo saja kam ho ya bach bhi jaaye lekin ek case banta he hai us tarah se. Aur sambandh jahir honge toh pariwar ka naam bhi aayega. Roshni meri bhi beti hai Krishan aur iska bhavishya shayad main tumse behtar de sakta tha lekin shayad tumhare salah ke jyada paise lagte honge apne is nacheej bhai ke sath.", Rameshwar ji ne samjhane ke sath jab tanj kiya toh Krishneshwar ki toh sharmindgi se najre he jhuk gayi aur Shankar apne pita ke hath par hath rakh unhe shaant rakhne ki koshish karne laga.
"Maaf karna jeth ji, ab insaan ke chehre par toh nahi likha hota ki uska charitra kaisa hai? Itne baras usne meri beti ko khush bhi toh rakha tha damaad ji ne. Paisa-jayedaad cheej he aisi hai ki kab imaan dol jaaye.", Devki ne ye baat itne logo ke beech aise keh di thi jaise Rameshwar ji rishtey me unse chhote ho aur wo pariwar ki mukhiya. Is baat par jaha sabhi hairat me the wahi Narinder khud ko bolne se na rok saka.
"Maaf karna chachi aapko na pehle baat karne ki tameej thi aur na aaj hai. Aur koyi beech me nahi bolega jab main bol raha hu. Chacha, Raman ka rishta kaun leke aaya tha? Meri taraf dekh kar baat karna aap.", Narinder ko kabhi bhi in logo ne aise na dekha tha siwaye Shankar aur Umed ke. Wo toh waise bhi ab bolne wale nahi the kyonki Narinder aise toh kuch kehta bhi na tha. Krishneshwar ne koshish toh ki thi apni biwi ki taraf dekhne ki lekin apne bhatije ka darr shaayad kahi jyada tha.
"Devki ka bada bhai Puran leke aaya tha beta Raman ka rishta."
"Aur aapko papa se salah karne se kisne roka tha? Kya jaante the aap Raman ke pariwar ke baare me aur ye Puran aakhiri bar aapse kab mila tha haal-filhal me?", Itne sateek sawaal aur wo bhi lagatar. Ek baar Rameshwar ji beech me bolne he lage the aur unko Col sahab ne ungli se naa ka ishara kar diya. Devki ke chehre par heen-bhaav aa chuke the lekin jaise unki dono betiyan bhi sach jaan na chahti thi.
"Chhodo beta is sabko.. Ab jo ho gaya so ho gaya."
"Main batata hu aapko chacha ji. Puran mama ne pehle toh is Binodiye ka dimaag kharaab kiya tha jab ye chhota tha. Phir PP Sharma ji toh chalo ek pariwarik insaan hai jinhe sabki rajamandi se pasand kiya gaya lekin Raman Singh? Oh Raman Sharma mera matlab tha chachi ji. Wo aadmi khudko le kar aaya tha Puran ko dabaav me le kar. Binodiya sudhar raha tha Sharma ji ke sath shaadi-byaah wale kaam le kar lekin Raman ne he in dono ko wo hotel wali salah di. Galat keh raha hu Binod? Aur uska paksh kisne liya jameen bechne me? Aapne na chachi? Aap kehte ho chhodo toh chalo ye sab chhod deta hu. Roshni, ab bata tune sabse pehle kab maar khaayi thi Raman se?", Narinder ne sar pe hath ferte hue apni chacheri behan se sanvedna prakat ki toh wo rone se khud ko rok he na saki. Narinder ke gale lag kar wo hichkiyan lene lagi thi.
"Maine bola tha maa se ke galat aadmi se byaah diya tumne.. uhhhhhh.. Bhaiya aap sab sach bol rahe ho aur maine isliye aapko he phone kiya jab itne saal tak pita ji yahi kehte rahe ki vivaah me ye sab chalta rehta hai. Maa toh sunti he nahi thi kabhi aur jab Raman ne mujhse Anjali ko maarne wali baat kahi tabhi maine soch liya tha ke main ab aapko sach bata dungi."
"Shaant ho ja meri behan. Tera ye bhai jinda hai aur jabtak ye hai tabtak tujhe toh kuch hone nahi deta baaki jinhone fainsle karne the wo pehle kar chuke. Bas ab aur nahi. Sunn liya aapne chacha ji.. Ab fainsla mere papa karenge aur Binod, apno par vishwas karna seekh. Kamai tu pehle bhi atchi kar leta tha jab jija ke sath mehnat karta tha. Raman ki raah pe chal kar pehle tu nuksaan utha gaya aur ab ye behan. Dono maa beti maari jaati toh kya jawab deta tu.?", Binodiye ke toh khud aankhon se aansu aa chuke the lekin Devki ka chehra tass se mass na hua.
"Inder, beta abhi ghar me mehmaan bhi hai aur samay bhi sahi nahi. Tum batao ke tumhare pas kya hal hai? Main toh aatmhatya ke paksh me hu."
"Nahi rakhna koyi vasta papa aise insaan se jiski maut par jhootha shuak manana pade. Nirmal uncle ko bolo ki lash me goli utaar de aur aap bayaan dena ki wo Raman Sharma bann kar jalsaji kar raha tha jiski soochna aap pehle he IG office me de chuke ho. Yaha wo jo bhi kala dhanda karne aaya tha usme police encounter me wo mara gaya. Aapki di hui report aur mujrim ki detail mel khaane par aapne shinakht karke pushti kar di. Is ghar me wo insaan kabhi bhi tha he nahi.", Ek saans me Narinder ye fainsla suna gaya tha jis par na chahte hue bhi Shankar ke chehre par muskaan aa he gayi. Sachmuch Narinder kabhi bhi aaj ke baare me nahi sochta tha. Wo bhavishya ki jaanch pehle he karke rakhta tha jis se samay aane par fainsla lene me pareshani na ho. Narinder ke kamre se nikalte he Devki ne mooh khola.
"Jo thik lage so karo aap log. Baaki Puran naye saal par he ghar aaya tha uske baad koyi baatchit nahi hui."
"Aainda ho bhi nahi sakti chachi. Raman unhe marwa chuka hai lekin kiske kehne par ye nahi pata chala.", Shankar ne alag he dhamaka kar diya tha yaha se jaane se pehle. Fainsla ho chuka tha ke Raman Sharma urf Singh ka parcha pichli tareekh me darj karwa kar us se sambandh vichhed kar liye jaayenge aur is durghatna ko naye sire se police muthbhed ka parinaam bataya jaaye. Rameshwar ji ne Narinder ki taraf gayi teesre hisse ki jameen Arjun ke naam se hatwa kar Roshni aur Anjali ke naam karwane ka bhi fainsla de diya tha. Bina jaanch parakh ke kiye gaye ek galat vivaah ne ek pal ke liye toh poore pariwar ko he sankat me daal diya tha parantu samay rehte jaise is vipda ko bhi kahi behtar tarike se sambhala tha is pariwar ne.
"Bhaiya, main bhi aaj gaanv nikalne ki soch raha hu agar koyi aavashyak kaam na ho toh. Aur jo bhi hua usme aapka doshi main bhi utna he hu jitna wo Raman.", Krishneshwar ne dono hath jodd diye the jinhe khud Shashtri ji ne thaam liya.
"Aap mujhe chhota bhai maane ya bada, lekin pariwar ko toh samajhte he honge Krishneshwar ji? Jaisa bhabhi ji ne kaha ki insaan ke chehre se uska charitra nahi pata lagta main bhi maanta hu ye. Aapne toh bacho ko behtar jiwan dene ki he chahat rakhi lekin hamari ek roodhiwaad soch aksar haavi ho jaati hai ki beti dusre ghar chali gayi toh hamara us se samajik haq khatam ho gaya. Apne khoon se bhala hum dur ho sakte hai? Bhai sahab bhi toh aapke he hai aur ye aapko dukhi kaise dekh sakte hai bhala? Raat he toh baat hui thi hamari. Aap aaj yahi rahiye aur shaam ko kuch samay mere sath bhi vyatit kijiye. Fir jab dil kare tab chale jana. Itne ye sab bhi hal ho jaayega.", Shastri ji ki baat sunn kar Rameshwar ji bhi apne bhai ke kareeb chale aaye. Peeth thapthapte hue wo bole.
"Tum mere liye maa ki dharohar ho Krishan aur unki har vastu ko hum sar-maathe laga kar rakhte hai. Tum toh unke priye the isliye hamara sabkuch tum he ho. Mann ko halka rakho aur Hansmukh intjaar kar raha hai bahar tumhara. Bahu, dono betiyon ko bhitar le jao aur Roshni filhal yahi rahegi Anjali bitiya ke sath. Baaki bahu aayi hai aaj toh ye udaasi ghar se bahar he rahe toh behtar hoga. Chaliye Shastri ji, aaj aapko bagiche me he chai pilate hai. Ye Asgar wali toh mujhe bhi pasand nahi. Vinod, teri taai ko bol ki 6-7 cup chai apni rasoi se he bagiche me bhijwa de. Aur tumne jaise kal himmat dikhai, hamesha koshish karna ke aisa kar sako.", Vinod ki peeth thapthapa kar wo baaki sabke sath bahar he chal diye. Subah ke 5 baj chuke the aur Madhuri ke bhi nikalne ka waqt ho chuka tha jis se Pandit ji aangan me he milne wale the.
'Tau ji ki baat sahi hai maa. Tum har baar apne fainsle papa pe dabaav se manwa leti ho. Ab ghar ja ke baat karunga main tumse.', Vinod apni maa ke kaan me itna bol kar yahi se bahar chal diya. Cigrattee ki talab bhi thi aur dimag me hajaro sawal bhi. Filhal jyada asaan toh talab dur karna he tha uske liye. PP Sharma toh apni biwi ke sath andar he ho liya tha khamoshi se.

Madhuri ke ghar se vida hone ke baad Sanjiv-Radhika ki kuch rasme dopehar aur shaam ko hone wali thi jaisa Kaushalya ji ne kaha tha. Ab unke kehne par he Lalita ji ne Sanjiv ko apne kamre me araam karne ka kaha toh wo na nukur karta dikha. Radhika ko Vinni, Alka, Tara, Komal upar wale kamre me le ja chuki thi baaki ghar dikhane ke baad. Bathroom se fresh ho kar Radhika us kamre me dakhil hui toh usko is tarah saja dekh gaalo ki sharam doguni ho gayi. Ab ye sabkuch jiwan me pehli baar he toh ho raha tha aur wo bhi apne ghar se alag is naye ghar me jo ab hamesha ke liye uska tha. Kisi bhi ladki ne jyada khinchai na karke hamesha ki tarah dostana aur parwah se bhara prem he darshaya tha.
"Bhabhi, aap ab araam kare. Baaki sabhi log bhi yahi karne wale hai. Komal didi aur Vinni didi idhar he hongi. Hum log pichle ghar ja rahe hai jo aapko baad me dikha denge. Is taraf ab koyi bhi nahi rehne wala. Teeno kamre bas aapke he hai baaki Arjun ka kuch pata nahi.", Alka ne hall-kamre me kadmo ki aahat suni toh baaki sabhi ke sath idhar se nikal gayi. Sanjiv jaise taise he aaya tha aur apni behno ke chehre par khushi dekh thoda ghabra kar ek taraf ho gaya.
"Aap araam kijiye bhaiya aur jab uth jao toh nashte ke liye bol dijiyega.", Alka sehajta se itna he keh kar chali gayi aur Sanjiv ne yahi se darwaja band kar diya.
'Hey bhagwan itna toh interview par nahi ghabraya jitna aaj apne he ghar me chalte hue fatt rahi hai. Har koyi aise kyun dekh raha tha? Chal beta Sanjiv ab 5-6 ghante se pehle nahi uthna.', Sanjiv abhi kamre me dakhil he hua tha ki waja ki sajawat aur bister ke beech ghoonghat nikale baithi apni nayi naveli dulhan ko dekh kadam wahi ruk gaye.
"Waha kyun khade ho? Ye tumhara he toh kamra hai na? Matlab aaj se hamara.", Radhika ne jab bahar wale kamre ke band hone ki awaaj ke baad yaha Sanjiv ko dekha toh wo aashavast ho gayi ki idhar ab koyi nahi hai jaisa Alka ne bataya tha.
"Wo.. Wo toh thik hai. Lekin agar tum akele sona chahti ho toh.. Main is kamre me araam kar leta hu.", Sanjiv se toh kuch kehte he na bann raha tha aur Radhika ke chehre par muskaan bahot kuch bayaan kar rahi thi.
"Ab se har roj tumhare he sath toh sona hai mujhe. Fir chahe us kamre me ya is kamre me. Alka ne bataya hai ki teeno kamre hamare he hai. Thakaan mujhe bhi hai lekin ab toh license hai tumhare sath sone ka?", Radhika ki khushi dekh Sanjiv bhi kuch behtar mehsoos karta hua ek taraf apni jooti utaar kar kurte ke button khol pajame aur baniyan me bister ke kinare aa baitha.
"Ye toh thik kaha tumne Radhika lekin teeno nahi 2 kamre khali hai. Hamari bagal wala Arjun ka hai aur wo uska he rahega. Tum bhi phero ke time se he thaki hui lag rahi ho aur upar se ye bhari bhari kapde. Alka ne AC bhi nahi chalaya dekho.", Sanjiv ne remote utha kar AC chalu kiya aur Radhika bhi apni nath ko kholne ki koshish karne lagi.
"Kholne me madad karna Sanjiv. Pata nahi kaise band ki hai ye aur mujhse ye sab pehna bhi nahi jata.", Sanjiv ke toh hath he kanp uthe Radhika ke chehre se chand inch apna chehra karte hue. Jaise taise wo nath ko kholne me laga raha lekin uske kaanpte hath dekh Radhika peeche hatt gayi.
"Tumse nahi hone wala.", Muskurate hue Radhika ne khud he thoda jor se nath ka hukk khola toh halki si aah nikal gayi.
"Radhika.. Tum thik ho na? Pata nahi ye sab kyun pehnate hai ye gharwale? Dekho khoon toh nahi aaya na?", Sanjiv ko itna pareshan dekh Radhika uchak kar uski goad me he ja baithi.
"Oh mere policia balam, tum na sachmuch he bade fattu ho. Nath he kholi hai koyi chaku nahi laga. Umaahhh. Bahot jyada he parwah nahi karte tum meri? Ab leto idhar aur jabtak main na uthu tum hilna bhi matt.", Radhika ne khud he Sanjiv ko choom liya tha jis par wo ladki ki tarah sharmane laga. Fir ek baar gale lag kar Radhika alag hui toh Sanjiv takiya sahi karte hue seedha leit gaya. Radhika ne bhi bina hil-hujjatt ke apna sar us balisht bhuja par rakhte hue dusra hath Sanjiv ki chhati par rakhte hue aankhe moond li. Thakaan itni thi ki Radhika ko ek pal na laga gehri neend ke aagosh me samane me. Sanjiv kuch par bas chhat ko taakta raha aur Radhika ko jaanchne ke baad usko sahi se dusri taraf karwat dene ke baad uske hath ke niche takiya rakh kar dabe paanv kamre se bahar nikal aaya. Bagal wale kamre ka darwaja khola toh andar Arjun waise he soya hua tha jaise abhi Sanjiv Radhika ko sula kar aaya tha. Idhar wala takiya hata kar wo khud apne bhai ki bagal me ja soya. Neend me Arjun bhi apne bhai ki bagal me aa dubka. Is baar Sanjiv ko jara bhi der na lagi sone me. Wo Radhika ko bhi chain se gehri neend lene dena chahta tha aur khud ko rokna bhi us milan se jo din chadhe karna thik na tha. Is kamre me in dono ko dekh koyi keh he nahi sakta tha ke Sanjiv ki shaadi hui hai. Hamesha ki tarah wo dono bhai bejod prem se bandhe waise he soye the.

"Rekha, tumhe is hath ka thoda jyada he dhyaan rakhan hoga. Nahate waqt polythene lapetna aur rasoi me bilkul bhi nahi jana. Krishna, ye toh nahi maanegi lekin tum dhyaan dena is baat ka. Komal beta, mere kapde nikal do. Mujhe aaj jaruri kaam se ek bar hospital jana hai lekin shaam tak laut aaunga.", Shankar ji nashta karne ke baad yaha apne kamre me kayi din baad is tarah baithe the aur unke sameep he Rekha ji, Krishna ji aur Madhu. Narinder bhi ek kursi par baitha apne vicharo me khoya tha. Umed bagal wale kamre me soya hua tha thakaan ki wajah se. Komal apne pita ki baat sunn kar kapde nikalne lagi.
"Aap araam kar lete thoda? Shaam ko toh aapne Delhi bhi jana hai jaisa Umed bhai sahab bata rahe the.", Rekha ji ne apna hath 2 takiyo par tikaya hua tha. Halka bukhar tha unhe chot ki wajah se.
"Bhabhi, isko neend ki jarurat nahi hai aur Umed abhi isliye so raha hai taaki ye raste me so sake. Jana mujhe tha lekin Hussain bhai ko aaj rok liya hai toh meri jagah Shankar ja raha hai. Krishna tum bhabhi ke he kamre me rehna. Waise abhi tak mujhe ye baat sahi se kisi ne nahi bataai ke chot lagi kaise? Aaina toh bhool kar bhi matt bolna koyi.", Narinder ji ki baat sunn kar Shankar ji toh kapde le kar bathroom ki aur chale gaye hanste hue peeche ye log reh gaye jo Rekha se sahi jawaab chahte the.
"Aaina toh inhone he bol diya Inder. Waha pillar par aluminium chadha tha jaha hath rakhne se jakham ho gaya."
"Bhabhi, statement record kar raha hu aap bolti jao bas.", Ab jaise Narinder ki baat sunn kar Rekha ne karwat he badal li.
"Main bhala kyun jhooth bolungi."
"Wahi toh bhabhi. Aur fir ladies bathroom ke bahar aapka khoon thodi na tha. Aur wo tea-spot wali jagah kursiyon ke paas bhi kisi ne murga kata hoga. Sahi keh raha hu na"
"Bathroom bhi isliye gayi thi ki hath paani ke niche kar du aur waha kursi par baith kar inka intjar kar rahe the chahe toh Mehul bhai sahab se pooch lena. Itni badi baat bhi nahi hai Inder."
"Chalo fir aisa he sahi bhabhi. Madhu, tumne kab nikalna hai?"
"Saas-sasur toh chale bhi gaye mere. Ab toh tum apne jija se he pucho aur wo toh Vivaan ke ghar jaane kya plan bana rahe hai? Keh toh rahe the ki shaam ko niklenge.", Madhu ne apni bhabhi ke gardan tak chaadar udhane ke baad hath bhi sahi se rakha. Rekha ko neend ki dawa bhi di thi Shankar ji ne jis wajah se wo sone lagi thi.
"Aaj ruk ja bebe. Kal chali jaiyo. Ghar ekdum se khali sa ho jayega toh maa-papa ko bhi atcha nahi lagega. Baki Ashok ji se main khud baat kar leta hu. Himanshu ki bhi chuttiyan padi hai toh usko he chhod de idhar."
"Aaj toh rukne ka bann bhi jayega bhai lekin tumhare bhanje ko wo pehle he gaanv le ja chuke hai. Ek baar ke liye toh mujhe yaha 10 din bhi chhod denge par usko filhal apne se dur nahi rakhne wale.", Madhu ki baat sunn kar Narinder ji muskurate hue uth gaye.
"Haan bebe. Baat toh sahi hai teri. Hamare thanedar ko he dekh lo. Apne byaaj ko kahi jaane na dete. Khair tum log bhi thoda araam kar lo, main Umed ke pas he so raha hu. Hussain bhai aur bhabhi Pinki wale kamre me soye hai jab wo uthe toh mujhe bhi utha dena."

"Tang mat kar yar Alka. Sone de thodi der fir jo chahe kar liyo.", Baaki ladkiyan alag kamro me ghode bech kar soyi padi thi aur yaha ek kamre me Ritu dhila sa pajama aur waisi he tshirt pehne aundhe mooh bister par pasri thi jab Alka kapde badal kar uske upar ja leti. Pehle toh Ritu ne parwah na ki lekin jab Alka ke dono hath uski tshirt ke nichle seero se hote hue dono maansal ubharo par pakad banane lage toh wo kasmasa uthi. Alka ne hath na hatate hue unki maalish jaari rakhi aur fir Ritu ka gaal choom liya. Ab toh Ritu ke dono nipple uski ungliyon me dabe akadne he lage the.
"Tu yaha bister se muniya chipkaye leti hui hai aur udhar wo Arjun. Arre kab himmat dikhayegi aur kab tak bas lipta chipti tak ruki rahegi? Parso wo nikal jayega aur tu uski yaad me roti rahiyo, poora ek mahina.", ye sunn kar Ritu jhatt palat gayi. Alka ne bhi hath hata kar uski bagal me let kar hath kamar me daal liye. Thakaan ke bawjood Ritu ke chehre par jo masomiyat hamesha dikhti thi wo abhi tak thi. Uljhan se wo ektak bas Alka ko dekhe ja rahi thi.
"Soch mat darling aur kaise bhi karke aaj ki raat hath se jaane matt de. Ye sabhi mehmaan toh 11-12 baje tak nikal jayengi apni car se aur udhar abhi bhi mehmaan hai. Bhaiya ki taraf toh Arjun bhi nahi rehne wala toh tu bas idhar aa jana ye bol kar ki main aur tu yahi sone wale hai. Ab Arjun ko bhi yahi bhejenge dada ji. Aarti-Tara ko main thikane laga dungi, tu tension matt le. Kal Arjun na idhar aa payega aur na hum."
"Yar dil toh mera hamesha he uske pas rehne ka karta hai. Aur agar Aarti-Tara maan bhi jaaye fir bhi problem khatam nahi hone wali.", Ritu ne bhi Alka ki patli kamar par hath rakh liya tha. Dono ek dusre ko dekhte hue baatein kar rahi thi.
"Muskaan ko daadi nahi bhejne wali is taraf. Jyada se jyada Priyanka didi aa sakti hai jo neend ki pakki hai aur is se bura ho sakta hai jab Afsana aur Zubeidaa yaha ruki toh. Preeti keh rahi thi ki Zubeidaa didi bhi apne munnalal par lattu hai."
"Wo sab toh main he dekh lungi yar. Aur aaj Hussain uncle rukne wale hai pariwar ke sath. Didi bhi unke sath kal jaayengi par asli problem hai Vinni didi aur Rupali. Rupali yahi aayegi agar hum aaye toh. Usko Aarti dekh legi lekin Vinni didi nahi rukne wali ab kyonki shaadi hone tak he wo ruki hui thi."
"Sachmuch yar.. Behanchod yahi problem hai ke kisko kisko bandh ke rakhe. Abhi toh udhar wo Babita didi bhi ruki hui hai Sushila aunty ke sath. Preeti ko bol na ke aaj wo Vinni didi aur Aarti ko apne ghar le jaaye. Architect ka bahana bhi atcha hai. Aarti ke sath Rupali free. Baaki main chakkar chala he lungi.", Alka ne chamakti aankhon se kaha toh Ritu ne usko apne seene se laga liya
"Ek baat toh bata jara. Tu ye itne teer sirf mere liye toh nahi chala rahi?"
"Kameeni kya tera kya mera? Main bolti nahi lekin jaise tujhe samjahti hu waise he tu bhi meri haalat janti hai."
"Arjun dono ke sath comfortable nahi hone wala aur hum bhi toh ek dusre ke sath itne he comfortable hai."
"Ritu, tera dimaag bhi na jung kha gaya. Neend ki jarurat hai tujhe. Wo yaha aayega toh kamre toh badal he sakte hai? Tu teri marji ka time bita bas mujhe thodi der chahiye.. 3-4 ghante bas."
"Kameeni.. 3-4 ghante tu aur fir main bas uske sath sone ke liye hai na? Koyi na tu kar intjaam aur fir 10 se 1 wo tere pas lekin ek ke baad subah tak is kamre me mere sath."
"Umaaahh. Done. Dil khush kar diya tune toh mera. Waise jyada maja tab aayega jab teeno.. kya kehti hai?"
"Chiiii.. chal sone de ab aur ye idea tere pas he rakh.", Ritu sharam se dohri hoti mooh palatne lagi thi.
"Soch na Ritu. Ek he bed par hum teeno. Waise bhi uske taste hum dono me different he hai. Akele me toh bhari padd jata hai lekin aise shayad kaabu aa jaye."
"So ja ab badi aayi taste wali. Main kar leti hu usko control. Haalat uski kharab hoti hai last me aur ab tu ek bhi baat nahi kahegi. Chup chaap so ja. Din chadha nahi raat ki pehle soch lo.", Ritu ki baat sunn kar Alka uske sath peeche se chipak kar leit gayi. Hath abhi bhi Ritu ke ubharo par he the jinhe wo bina hilaye lipti thi. In dono ke beech jitna khulapan aur samarpan tha shayad he baaki kisi me tha. Aaj Rameshwar ji ke pariwar me bhi ek beti byaah karke rukhsat hui thi aur ek bahu ne kadam rakhe the. Aane wala samay bharpoor ghatnakram se bhara rehne wala tha jis se pehle lagbhag jyadatar log araam farma rahe the aur kuch tayaariyon me jute the, apne dayitva nibhate hue.
