Awesome update bhai waiting for next update eagerly...Update 193 (1)
Pehli Mulakaat
Din ke 11 bajne tak yaha jyadatar log bister tyaag chuke the. Rekha he ekmatra stree thi jo abhi tak soyi thi aur uski wajah bhi sabko pata thi isliye koshshih rakhi gayi ki unke aaspas koyi awaaj na ho. Poore ghar me Kaushalya ji aur Rameshwar ji ke alawa koyi aur aisa tha jo ek pal bhi na soya tha wo Komal thi. Apni daadi ko khabar lagne se pehle he wo rasoi ke sara kaam nibta chuki thi aur dono kaamwali bai se poore ghar ki atchi tarah safaai bhi karwa di thi. Kaushalya ji rasmo ki tayaari karne ke baad aangan me aayi toh paseene se lathpath aur sabse bepawah si Komal ko rasoi ki garmi me ulajhte dekh kuch gambhir ho gayi.
"Matt bann dusri Rekha aur ye sharir hai na iski bhi seema hoti hai bitiya. Itna matt ghisao ke bhavishya me ye jaldi sath chhod de. Waise yaha se itni mehak kaise aa rahi hai?", Kaushalya ji ne apne pallu se he Komal ka chehra saaf karne ke baad chulhe par sikti wo bharwa bhindi dekh li thi par puchne ki mansha kuch aur bhi thi.
"Oh daadi aap bhi na. Na toh main kabhi aap jitna kaam kar sakti hu aur na he maa ki tarah. Parso aap he toh keh rahi thi ki nayi bahu ghar aaye toh chulhe par sabse pehle meetha he bann na chahiye.? Kheer tayaar kar rahi thi toh laga ki sabhi log halwai wala khana khaate hue pareshan na ho gaye ho. Ye amchoor wali bhindi dada ji ke sath sath chacha ji ko bhi pasand hai aur safed chhole ke sath chawal Sanjiv bhaiya ko. Aapne bhi kal thik se khana nahi khaya tha aur subah se ek cup chai ke alawa kuch liya bhi nahi. Gali me Gyaan uncle aaye the sabji le kar toh aapke liye ajwaain wali torai banai hai, bina jyada masale ke. Bas abhi maal-pooye baaki hai jo garam he thik rahenge parosne."
"Bas bas.. Paagal kahi ki. Wo bahar machine bhi tune he lagaai hogi?", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Komal ko jaise yaad aaya ki wo aakhiri chakkar ke kapde nikalne bhool gayi hai is sabme.
"Oh daadi. Main aati hu abhi kapde nikal kar. Galti se bhool gayi."
"Bas beta tu baith yaha. Maine kar di band aur wo kapde sukhane wo dono kaamwali chhat par bhej bhi di. Tujhe kya padi thi ye sab karne ki? Aaj he kapde bhi dho diye?", Komal ko apne sath liye wo wapis kamre me aa gayi thi. Chulha band tha ab sabji pakne se. Unke bister par ek taraf Shalini soyi hui thi aur uski bagal me Muskaan. Jisko bhi jaha jagah dikhi thi wo thakaan se wahi so gaya tha.
"Daadi, abhi lage hath kaam ho gaya na. Baad me jyada kaam ikattha ho jata aur mehmaan bhi chal-fir rahe hote. Mujhe yahi time thik laga aur baaki sabko araam ki jarurat bhi thi. Aap bhi toh aane ke baad nahi soyi.", Komal ne ek baar kamre me dakhil hote apne dada ji ko dekha jo ab tayaar ho chuke the.
"Ki gal ho rahi hai dono daadi pauti de vich?", Kursi laga kar wo bhi yahi baith gaye. Unke hath me ek file thi jo filhal band he rakhe hue the.
"Ye pagal araam karne ki jagah sara kaam akele he nibta chuki. Main isko yahi samjha rahi thi ki sabki aadatein itni na bigade ki kal ko unke sath sath hume bhi pareshani ho. Saaf-safaai karwane ke sath kapde aur khana tak kar diya is ladki ne akele. Kal subah 4 baje ki uthi hui hai.", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Rameshwar ji ne bade he sneh se Komal ke sar pe hath firate hue kaha.
"Thanedarni ji aap hum teeno ke liye chai he bana lo. Itne main meri is Annapurna ki khabar he le lu.", Kaushalya ji apne pita aur pauti ke sneh ko dekh muskurati hui khadi ho gayi. Komal khud ye karna chahti thi lekin apne dada ji ki baat par gor karte hue wo unhe prashanvachak nigah se he dekhne lagi. Kaushalya ji ke jaate he unhone wo file Komal ke saamne kar di. Hare gatte ki file khol kar Komal ne pehle toh un stamp paper ko sarsari nigah se dekha aur uske baad bina kuch kahe wo agle 2 page padhne lagi.
"Mujhe kya karna hai isme dada ji? Waise is par mere signature nahi hai aur iske baare me toh mujhe aapne ya daadi ne bhi nahi bataya.", Komal ne file ko bister par ek taraf rakh diya tha jaise wo filhal har baat ko atche se jaan sake.
"Pehle caretaker tumhari maa aur chachi thi is sabki. Tumhari chachi ne ye aage Priyanka ko waris banaya jab Arjun ne mana kiya aur baad me Arjun maan gaya toh usko. Aisa he Rekha bahu ne kiya tumhare aur Ritu ke kehne par. Lekin is bailbudhi ne ye nayi will tayaar karwa di apne bhai aur mujhe jhanse me le kar. Rupali ki taraf bhi usne aisa he kiya hai jisme filhal toh sabkuch Arjun he dekh raha hai lekin kanooni haq saari jameen-jayedad ka sirf aur sirf tumhare naam hai. Main chahta hu ki tum ye 10 pratishat ka labh Anjali bitiya ke naam kar do is Narinder wali taraf ka. Power of attorney tumhare he naam hai jabtak Arjun 21 ka nahi ho jata.", Yaha Rameshwar ji ne Roshni-Raman ki bitiya ka naam liya toh Komal ko jaise halki si uljhan hui par usne jara bhi jaahir na kiya.
"Mujhe kyun aitraaj hoga bhala dada ji? Waise bhi mujhe is sabme koyi interest nahi hai. Arjun ne toh mujhse poocha tak nahi aisa karwane se pehle aur mujhe pata bhi abhi lag raha hai. Bataye kaha sign karne hai?"
"File ke aakhir me 2 aur page hai. Unhe atche se padh lo sign karne se pehle. Ab Arjun ne aisa kyun kiya hai ye toh wahi bata sakta hai. Usne mana nahi kiya sab sambhalne se aur wo dhyaan deta hai har baat par. Sabke account me time se unka hissa dena aur jaha bhi kisi ko jarurat ho toh waha apni taraf se badha dena. Koyi naya bhagidar judta hai toh Arjun khud he usko ek uchit hissa pradaan karta hai.", Rameshwar ji baat karte hue ye bhi dekh rahe the ki Komal kaise bina koyi sawaal kiye lekin bade dhyaan se un panno ko jaanch rahi thi. Padhne ke baad usne aage palta toh waha bhi ek naya kaagaj tha.
"Yaha toh Radhika Dutt likha hai dada ji. Matlab bhabhi ko bhi Arjun ne .."
"Nahi nahi beta. Wo kagaj toh naam me badlaav aur yaha ke pariwar me shamil karne ke liye hai. Radhika ab is ghar ki sadasya hai na toh lage hath maine ye kaagaj bhi tayaar karwa liye. Haan ek sign yaha peeche khali panne par bhi kar do. Waise tumne ye nahi poocha beti ki hum aisa kyun kar rahe hai? Kyun Roshni aur Anjali ko hum idhar se hissedari de rahe hai jabki tumhare chote dada ke pas bhi sampatti hai aur Roshni ke pati alag jayedad hogi.", Rameshwar ji aadatan aise sawaal kar he lete the lekin yaha unke saamne Sanjiv ya Arjun na the. Ye Komal thi jo be-wajah sawaal nahi karti thi. Aur agar wo karti toh sawaal ummeed se kahi jyada he bade hote.
"Wo bhi pariwar ke sadasya hai dada ji aur aapne aisa fainsla liya hai toh jarur wajah hogi he. Jab aapke hath kisi ki madad kar sake us vyakti ke bure samay me toh is se badh kar insaaniyat kya hogi. Waise bhi yaha hum sabko aapne jarurat se jyada he diya hai, apne liye kuch na rakhte hue.", Rameshwar ji gadgad ho chuke the apni is sushil pauti ke jawaab se aur Kaushalya ji bhi chai le kar yaha aa chuki thi.
"Inke pas fir bhi bahot hai beti. 25 hajaar se jyada toh inki pension aati hai aur PF par toh byaaj bhi wasool rahe hai ye bank se. Lekin teri baat bhi thik hai ki jab apne hath me 2 roti ho toh agar hum ek kisi jaruratmand ko de bhi de toh wo ek roti hamare liye 2 ke barabar he rahegi. Chai pee kar tu araam kar le, fir khaane ke baad ye log toh gappe hankne me lage rahenge lekin tu Arjun ko market le jana. Mahine bhar ke liye wo jaane wala hai toh garmi ke hisaab se uske liye sahi kapde kharid lena. Aur uski khurak badalni hai toh wo parchi bhi main tumhe de dungi. Teri chachi aur taai ab tayaar hai toh jo thoda bahot kaam bach gaya wo unhe karne de. Pichli taraf wale kamre se agar 3 4 baje ke pehle tu bahar dikhi toh fer soch liyo.", Kaushalya ji ne ye pyaar bhari ghudki dete hue ek cup chai ka apne pati ki taraf badha diya. Komal bhi file ek taraf rakh chai ka aananad lene lagi. Sawaal Pandit ji ke mann me bhi the aur Komal ke bhi lekin ye dono he dridh mastishk insaan khud pehal nahi karne wale the.

Madhuri lagbhag 10 baje he apne sasural pahuch gayi thi. Abhishek ji ke sath darjan bhar caro me khaas baraati bhi yaha tak aaye the. Waise toh inke yaha sirf 4 he log the jisme se ek Shilpa ji ka shishu aur hafte me 5 din bahar rehne wala Gorav. Lekin is bade ghar ki dekhrekh Abhishek ji ke 2 vishwaspatra aur unki 19 varshiya santaan poore dil se karte the. Mukhya imarat me kuch jyada he bade aangan ke baad 2 manjilo par kul 8 kamre, 2 bade hall, ek rasoi aur lagbhag har kamre se juda bathroom tha. Ghar ki dekhbhal aur Shilpa ji ki madad ke liye hamesha uplabdh rehne wali Nepali mool ki Barsha Thapa (37) thi aur ghar ke sath bahar ke kaam ke liye uska mehnati evam saral swabhav pati Pashupati Thapa (40). Inki eklauti santaan Kiran Thapa (19), snatak ke pratham varsh imtihaan de chuki thi aur padhai ke sath sath wo apni maa aur Shilpa ji ki uchit madad karti thi.
"Choti memsaab toh bilkul chaand hai Abhishek babu. Sach kehti thi Shilpa memsaab ki Gorav babu ki kismat he tej hai. Aaiye dulhan ji aur apne daahine paanv se kalash palat kar kadam rakhiye apne ghar me. Bhagwan sukh-samridhi banaye rakhe.", Aarti ka thaal liye Barsha ne dwaar par he Gorav aur Madhuri ki nazar utari. Taamra-kalash me bhare chawal bikher Madhuri ne apne kadam bhitar rakhe toh pehle se maujood darjan bhar mehmaano ne phool aur chawal barsate hue dono ka swagat kiya. Lekin iske sath sath Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ke sar se shagun vaar kar Barsha ko dete hue ulahana bhi diya.
"Kitne baar kahe aapse Barsha ki humko memsaab mat kaha kijiye. Abhishek aapke liye babu hai wo thik lekin hume aap didi kehti hai wahi kahiye. Aur wo natkhat Gungun kaha hai? Ab tabiyat thik hai uski?", Shilpa ji apne rishteydaro aur devar-devrani ko liye aangan me aayi toh Pashupati ne pehle he sabke baithne aur nashte ka intjaam kar rakha tha. 3 lakdi ke table par thande paani aur sharbat ke gilas saje the kuch mishthaan aur phal-namkeen ke sath. Aangan me chhaya ke liye waise toh aam ke 2 vriksh paryapt the lekin shaadi wale ghar me lagne wala laal shamiana bhi bharpoor chhaya banaye tha. Rasoi se chai-coffee ki tray liye ye ujle salwar kameej me jarurat se jyada he gori yuvti in logo ko dekh wo tray pas wale table par rakh lagbhag daudti hui Shilpa ji ke paas aa gayi.
"Bhabhi aap ne mera intjaar bhi nahi kiya? Maa aap toh bolna bhi mat ab mere sath. Awaaj toh laga sakti thi ki chhoti bhabhi ghar aa gayi hai?", Takriban 5 feet ki ye ladki jis tarah se adhikar jata rahi thi wo dekh Abhishek ji aur Shilpa ji ke chehre par thakaan ke bawjood aseem khushi thi.
"Tujhe dhoop lag jaati na Gungun isliye maine he mana kiya tha. Ab dekh tere saamne hai teri nayi bhabhi aur Gorav se neg bhi le le teri marji ka.", Abhishek ji ne sabhi mehmano ko baithne ki gujarish karne ke sath sath is ladki ke bhi sar ko laad se sehlate hue kaha.
"Neg nahi chahiye Abhishek bhaiya. Bukhar ki wajah se pehle he main shaadi me na ja saki aur fir nayi bhabhi ke sath gate pe pehli photo bhi khinchne se reh gayi. Atcha toh aap na abhi mere sath aao nayi bhabhi aur Gorav bhaiya aap bhi aa sakte ho.", Ye ladki lagbhag Madhuri ka hath khinchte hue usko wapis he le ja rahi thi aur Shilpa ji bhi hanste hue apne devar ko unke peeche le gayi. Baraat ke sath gaye photographer ka camera khud he Abhishek ji ne utha liya kyonki wo vyakti hath mooh dhone ke baad abhi paani peene laga tha.
"Bhaiya ji ye ladki toh pagal hai aur aap isko daantne ki jagah iski baat maan rahe ho.?", Pashupati gamche se apna chehra saaf karta hua ghar ke maalik ki bagal me he chal raha tha.
"Pashupati ji, jab aapko bhi pata hai ki Kiran hamare liye ghar ki pehli bachi hai toh ye toka toki mat he kijiye. Aap mehmano ko dekhiye aur hum jara is shaitaan ki tasiveer khinch le. Shukar hai ki ye itne me he maan rahi hai.", Lekin Abhishek ji ki soch he galat nikli jab Kiran ne ek ya 2 nahi lagbhag darjan photo utarwaai aur baad me toh apne maa-baap ko bhi shamil kiya jab photographer khud he idhar chala aaya. Aas-pados ke log dono dulha-dulhan ko shagun ke sath shubhkamnaye dene ke baad nashta karne lage the aur Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ka parichaya karwaya.
"Ye Barsha didi hai jo hamare ghar ko ghar banaye rakhti hai, bina humse koyi mehnat karwaye aur ye hamari laadli hai Gungun. Waise toh iska naam Kiran hai lekin har waqt bas ye filmy gaane gungunati rehti hai jis wajah se tumhare jeth ji ne iska naam he Gungun rakh diya. Gorav aur inke liye Gungun he ghar ki beti aur inki behan hai. Abhishek jab bhi ghar hote hai toh unki subah ki chai hamesha yahi banati hai. Aur Gungun abse tumhe apni nayi bhabhi ka poora dhyaan rakhna hai.", Madhuri ne bhi bade saleeke se Kiran ko apne sath laga kar prem darshaya.
"Wo toh sab thik hai lekin aap toh neg ke baare me kuch keh rahi thi? Main nayi bhabhi ko apne sath he le jaungi market toh wahi se aap mujhe Rani Mukherji wali jeans dilwa dena. College me bahot si ladkiyan pehanti hai lekin maa toh mujhe salwar kameej ke alawa kuch dilwati he nahi.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Madhuri ke chehre par bhi muskaan aa gayi. Abhishek ji ne beech me dakhal dete hue kaha.
"Abhi tumhari nayi bhabhi ko araam karne ke liye unke kamre me le jao Gungun. Hum khud he kal sabko market le chalenge. Jo dil kare wo le lena aur tumhari maa bhi nahi tokegi. Gorav tum bhi thoda araam kar lo.", Baat bhi sahi thi jo saari raat shaadi me vyast hone ke baad 4-5 ghante ka safar aur idhar ghanta bhar mehmano ke sath lagane ke baad sharir ko araam ki sakht jarurat thi. Gungun urf Kiran turant he apni maa ko aankh chidhati hui Madhuri ko liye pehli manzil par badh chali. Kamre niche bhi the lekin Gorav hamesha se he upar wali manzil par akela rehta tha. Pehle kamre ko paar karke dono agle kamre me dakhil hone lagi toh Kiran ne he bataya.
"Bhabhi, ye pehle wala kamra bhi Gorav bhaiya ka he hai lekin usme sirf kitabe he kitabe hai. Wo toh chutti par bhi aate hai toh din bhar kitabo me lage rehte hai. Haan thoda khelne bhi jaate hai club me lekin jyadatar computer ya kitabe. Ye kamra bada hai jo ab aapka hai. Isko maine he sajaya hai aur subah jo gaadi aayi thi us se samaan nikaal kar main in dono almaari me laga chuki hu. Haan ye aapke chain wale bag maine nahi khole kyunki ye aapka jaruri samaan hoga.", Madhuri ke ghar se dahej chahe na bhi aaya ho lekin uphaar aur baaki sab samaan pehle he pauch chuka tha. Kiran ki mehnat aur is saaf suthre bade kamre ko dekh Madhuri sehajta se muskuraai.
"Ye meri taraf se neg samajh kar rakh lo Gungun. Ghar me sabse chhoti tumhi ho toh mana matt karna. Aur idhar bathroom hai?", Madhuri ne niche mile shagun ke darjan lifafe bina jaanche he Kiran ke hawale kar diye the jo wo badi hairaani se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ne bathroom dekha toh wo lagbhag ek kamre jitna he bada tha aur bilkul saaf. Jaise wo aajkal me he banaya gaya ho ya aadhunik samaan usme lagwa kar durust kiya ho. Aisa bathroom unke ghar bhi tha lekin ye wala toh kamre ke bheetar uska neeji tha.
"Aapne dekha bhi hai bhabhi ke ye kitne rupaye honge? Maa mujhe bahot maaregi aur ye shagun aapke hai toh aap he rakhiye."
"Shilpa didi ko bata dena ki ye maine apni marji se tumhe diye hai. Wo sambhal lengi apne aap. Aur ye kitne hai is se kya farak padta hai? Tumhare kaam he aayenge toh samjhdari se prayog karna. Ab tum ijajat do toh kya main fresh ho kar thoda araam kar lu?", Madhuri abhi tak un bhari vastro me thi aur Gungun usko pasine me dekh apne sar pe hath marti hui remote ki taraf lapki.
"Ye Aircondition chalana bhi yaad nahi raha. Haan aap fresh ho kar araam kijiye. Waise bhi yaha jyada log nahi aate toh aapko pareshani nahi hogi. Gorav bhaiya bhi aa gaye shayad.", Kiran ne kadmo ki aahat sunn li thi jo bilkul sahi thi. Par Gorav akela nahi aaya tha. Uske sath Shilpa ji bhi thi jo apne bete ko niche sula kar aayi thi.
"Badi bhabhi ye nayi bhabhi ne apne aap he mujhe diye hai. Unhone dekha bhi nahi ki ye kitne hai. Maine lene se mana kiya tha.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Shilpa ji ne uska gaal khinchte hue kaha.
"Rakh le jab diye hai toh. Aur kitne hai ye toh tu he dekh jab tujhe diye hai. Bank me dalwa liyo agar jyada ho toh. Chal ab ja ke araam kar tu bhi. Bukhaar utra nahi ki teri masti shuru ho gayi. Madhuri, tumhe kuch bhi chahiye ho toh..Mujhse mat kehna. Ye ghar tumhara bhi hai toh kisi ko bhi bol sakti ho. Aur jaise dil kare waise rehna. Yaha koyi panchayti raaj nahi hai. Gorav, tum bhi kapde badal kar araam kar lo. Phir shaam ko dinner par inke kuch friends aane wale hai tum dono se milne. Madhuri, tumhara sab samaan Kiran ne laga diya hai Barsha ke sath mil kar. Dekh lena.", Shilpa jis tarah se muskura kar wapis gayi thi us par Madhuri ki toh najar nahi padi lekin Gorav jarur jhemp gaya. Phir wo bhi diwar me bani un almari ki taraf badhte hue bola.
"Madhuri, main bagal wale kamre me nahane ja raha hu. Tum chaho toh kamra band kar sakti ho."
"Aap naha ke aa jaiye aur darwaja bahar se he laga dijiyega. Ye aapka bhi kamra hai.", Madhuri ne Gorav se pehle he almari khol kar saleeke se lage Gorav ke kapdo se ek kurta-pyjama, toliya nikal kar najre jhukaye he uski aur badha diya. Gorav ke gambhir chehre par halki si muskaan aayi thi ye dekh ki abhi Madhuri ko aaye chand ghante he hue hai aur wo patni wale karya karne lagi hai.
"Wo mere underwears main khud le leta hu.", Gorav aage badha toh almari ke dono pallo ke beech ab wo Madhuri ke sharir se bilkul satt kar ek daraaj se katcha-baniyaan nikalne laga. Na chahte hue bhi dono ke sharir me halka gharshan hua tha aur Madhuri ka wo vishal ubhaar ek taraf se Gorav ki kohni ko chho gaya. Madhuri ko abhi tak apne jism par sirf Arjun ka he sparsh anubhav tha lekin Gorav uska pati tha jo ek tarah se jiwanbhar ab uske sath bister sanjha karne wala tha. Chehre par halki si laali aur sharam aa he gayi thi is sparsh se. Gorav ko jab uske wo kapde na mile toh Madhuri ne jhuk kar bagal wali daraaj ko dekha. Ab dono miya biwi ek jaisi mudra me the aur Gorav toh sab bhool kar bas us kudrat ke hunar ko nihar raha tha. Madhuri ke chikne bhare bhare gaal, chehre par khaas chamak ke sath naak me bali aur gaal se latakti wo baalo ki ghumavdar latt. Madhuri ne dono vastra nikal liye toh najre aapas me takraai. Gorav hichkichata hua palat kar seedha ho gaya.
"Thank you."
"Welcome.", Madhuri ke jawaab ko sunn kar wo jaane se pehle achanak he uske gaal ko sehla kar kamre se nikal gaya. Wo bhi Gorav ki is harkat par kuch pal hairaan hui fir sar jhatakte hue boli.
'Khud he keh rahe the ki tum shaadi se mana kar do aur ab janaab ke chehre ki khushi kal se kuch aur bata rahi hai.', Madhuri apne kapde bhi le kar us bathroom me ghus gayi. Araam karne se pehle naha lena jaruri tha. Aur jabtak wo bathroom se naha kar salwar kameej me kamre me aayi darwaja band he tha lekin bister par Gorav jarur karwat ke bal leta dikha. Shayad wo thakne ki wajah se jald he so gaya tha jaisa Madhuri ko prateet hua. Aaine me khud ko sanwarne ke baad usne pehle Gorav ko chaadar di kamre me thandak ki wajah se aur fir khud bhi ek taraf ke khali hisse me Gorav ki taraf peeth karke leit gayi. Nayi jagah aur apne bhare-poore pariwar se dur Madhuri ko ab is bister par neend nahi aa rahi thi. Bagal me soya vyakti bas aaj he toh zindagi me aaya tha aur aise dhero vichar liye Madhuri ne 3-4 baar karwat li.
"Tum thik ho na Madhuri? Jaanta hu ke tumhe andar he andar ye ajeeb lag raha hoga. Ek naya pariwar aur upar se ghar se dur. Maa ji (Lalita) ne bataya tha ke tum apne jiwan me kabhi bhi ghar se dur nahi rahi ho. Waha hain bhi toh dher saare behan bhai jinke bina tumhe aisa lagna jayaj bhi hai. Jiwan me bahot kuch pehli baar he hota hai Madhuri aur jaruri nahi ke wo bura he ho. Dhire dhire se he sahi lekin kadam badhane se hum ek waisa he sansaar bana sakte hai. Apna sansaar, jaisa tumhe pasand hai.", Gorav ne aisa kehte hue Madhuri ke sar ko halke hatho se sehlaya toh wo badi badi aankhon se ab pehli baar is vyakti ko gor se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ko yu khamosh khud ki taraf dekhta pa kar Gorav ne haami bhari.
"Main tayaar nahi tha Madhuri jaisa maine pehli mulakaat par bataya tha tumhe ki tum mana kar do. Bhaiya ne apne liye kabhi kuch nahi kiya aur shaadi hone baad bhi unki prathmikta sirf main aur hamare pita ka khoya naam wapis banana he the. Mujhe kabil banane ke liye unhone kabhi khud par dhyaan nahi diya aur jab unhone chaha ki ye ghar aur bhi pahle-phule toh maine ek aashanka ki wajah se tumhe wo kaha tha. Mujhe darr tha ki kahi meri wajah se tumhara jiwan bematlab me na kharaab ho. Par main galat tha Madhuri. Pariwar badhne se samsyaye khatam hoti hai aur ekakipan sirf khud ko tasalli dena bhar hai. Sabhi khush the is shaadi me jabki unhe toh kuch mil bhi nahi raha tha. Wo naseebwala main tha jiske liye sabhi khush the aur mujhe tum mili ho. Sapno pe kaam karna toh nahi rokunga lekin tumhe bhi shikayat nahi hone dunga. Mujhse pehle is ghar ko tumhari jarurat hai. Bhabhi ko tumhari jarurat hai Madhuri aur sabko. Itminaan se bas araam karo aur ye khayaal nikal do apne dil se ki tum nayi jagah ho. Ye tumhari jagah hai.", Gorav ne jis tarah se lagatar sar sehlate hue Madhuri se apne jajbaat jaahir kiye the wo kuch sarak kar apne pati ke kareeb ho gayi. Iske baad kuch jyada baat na hui dono me aur is baar Madhuri bhi chain se so gayi. Goarav ne beech me thoda fansla fir barkarar kiya aur usko bhi jyada samay na laga.

Shankar ghar se toh hospital me kaam ka bol kar nikle the lekin ye jagah kisi bhi surat me hospital jaisi nahi thi. Shehar ke agle bypass par bana ye aalishan hotel aur uske bahar se bhitar tak ki ati-vishisht suraksha kuch aur he kahani bayaan karti thi. Yaha is samay me kisi bhi rahgir ko rukne ki saaf manahi thi aur wajah saaf thi. Hotel me pravesh karte he kuch mehngi caro ka kafila aur unke beech wo ekmatra sadharan esteem car. Ye vyaktitva apne aap me ek he tha aur wo tha Dr Shankar Sharma. Hotel me aaj ye mehtvapurn mulakaat is bade hall me ho rahi thi jaha kisi waiter tak ko jaane ki manahi thi. Service ka bhaar bhi suraksh dekhne walo par he tha. 23-24 log is hall me maujood the jinme se sirf 3 he yaha se sambandh rakhte the. Dr Shankar, Dr Dharamvir Sangwan aur Delhi se padhare Shriman Raunaklal. Baaki 20 logo me se jyadatar coat-pant pehne manager jaise ya karobari the aur sirf 3 log thik in teeno ke saamne. Ek hatta katta 35 barash ka pehalwan sa yuvak jiske gaal kashimiri seb se laal aur sharir daitya sa. Dusra gambhir, mehngi safed kameej pehne darmiyane se kad ka ghungrale baal wala lekin sabse robila adhed aur unke beech baitha wo 55-60 baras ka ek sant-bheshbhusha wala lekin inka mukhiya. Gale me rudraaksh ki mala, hath me sone ki janjire aur sharir fakk safed varstro me.
"Ye Raunaklal jis marji sarkaar me ho lekin isko hamari taqat ka atche se pata hai. Aur tum Dharamvir Sangwan, kehne ko toh is Shankar ke shikshak ho aur kuch chhote mote hospital ke maalik lekin bewajah bahot si jagah tum apni taang adaane se baaj nahi aate. Khair tum bhi yaha isliye bulaye gaye ho ki Delhi aur uske najdeek hamare 5 hospital me apni sewa de sako. Jagah hamari hogi, paisa Raunaklal aur tum barabar lagaoge. Haan ye Gajendra Bhalla jaise chhuttbhaiya ke sath kaam tum dono nahi karoge.", Us adhed se ghungrale baalo walo ne cigar ko jalane se pehle thoda mooh me daba kar toda aur fir jalane ke baad apni baat kahi. Jinhe wo naam se pukar raha tha wo dono he uske baap ki umar ke the. Is vyakti ka naam tha Suryavir Singh Rana, S.V. group of companies ka maalik aur desh videsh me khaase rasookh wala. Shankar iski baat ko darkinaar karte hue itminaan se kaali coffee ki chuskiyan le raha tha.
"Mere pas 10 hospital hai Rana aur mujhe nahi lagta ki mujhe filhal koyi naya kaam shuru karna chahiye.", Dharamvir Sangwan ke itne se jawaab par wo hatta katta sa aadmi nakhush dikha lekin Rana ne ishare se usko khamosh he rakha.
"Waise toh tumhari ye baat mere bhai ko nagawar gujri hai Dharavir lekin chalo tumhari ye pehli gustakhi hai aur doctor ke sath tum ek shikshak bhi rahe ho isliye main tumhe maaf karta hu. Wo 10 hospital he toh tum hamare sath mila rahe ho. Unme se 5 hum band karenge aur baaki pahcho par paisa laga kar wo aalishan imarat tayaar karenge ki poore uttar bharat me phir unke samaan koyi hospital na hoga. Tumse kuch paisa waisa nahi le rahe aur na tumhari hasiyat hai ki trucko ke hisaab se tum hamara khajana bhar sako. Raunaklal, tumne samjhaya nahi tha kya isko? Mere har minute ki keemat 5 lakh hai.", Rana ke chehre par koyi gussa na tha lekin awaaj bata rahi thi ki usko guroor bhi tha aur wo taqatwar bhi.
"Fainsle Dharamvir bhai sahab nahi lete Rana sahab. Shankar he adhikarik maalik hai share ke hisaab se aur Gajendra Bhalla ke sath Delhi me naye vypaar ka bada bhagidar bhi. Kaha kaam karna hai, kya kaam karna hai aur kiske sath karna hai ye sirf Shankar he taye karta hai aur agar Shankar uplabdh na ho toh Umed Singh.", Raunaklal Delhi me rasookhwala tha lekin yaha toh wo bhi is aadmi ko 'ji' ke sath sambodhit kar raha tha. Shankar abhi bhi diary par kuch likhta hua wo kali coffee me laga raha.
"Shankar. Dr Shankar Sharma suputra Rameshwar Sharma. Iska baap police afsar tha jo ab retired hai? 3 bhai aur ek behan. Patni se 3 aulaad jinme sabse chota ek ladka baaki dono ladkiyan. Chhota mota gunda bhi hai ye safed kapdo ke peeche lekin isko itni bhi kya ehmiyat de rakhi hai Dharamvir jo ye maalik bana hua hai? Aur Raunaklal, tum toh jaante ho mere bhai ke saamne sabhi gundo ki patloon kaise gili ho jaati hai. Ye chhote mote shehar wale bas gali mohalle me apne baap ke naam par 2-3 ke hath paanv todd kar raub jama lete hai. Yaha saamne wala awaaj baad me karta hai, pehle uske maathe ke beech bindi bann jaati hai.", Rana jaise bol raha tha uske darjan bhar coat-pant pehne wo chaddam gunde daant dikhane lage.
"21 minute hue hai aur is hisaab se tumhari nautanki ke hue 85 lakh. Ye toh kuch jyada he ho gaye lekin chalo tum yaha aaye ho toh khali hath toh nahi bhejunga tumhe. Ye cheque bana diya hai maine aur agar tumhe isko bhunane me koyi pareshani hai toh meri gaadi me ek crore pada hai.", Shankar pen aur cheque liye maje se tehalta hua table ke dusri taraf un teeno ke peeche ja ruka lekin uski jubaan sunn kar Rana ka chehra laal ho chuka tha. Uska wo pehalwan gunda bhai bhi akad kar kuch kehne he laga tha lekin us se pehle Shankar ne wo cheque Rana ke mooh par de mara aur pen us pehalwan ke kandhe me, jo shayad mehnga tha ispaat se bana hua. Lagbhag aadha pen us gainde jaise aadmi ke kandhe ki nichli haddi ke barabar se sharir me ghuss chuka tha. Koyi bhi harkat me aata us se pehle Shankar ka pasandida hathiyar is haal me chamak raha tha jo Rana ke bhai ke gale par tika tha.
"Randi ki aulaad saale yaha ek chutiya gandmare ko apna swami bana kar aa pahuche. Aur inhe lagta hai ki 5000 crore ki dalali karke ye maadarchod kisi ke bhi sar par mootne lagenge. Aye Raunaklal uncle. Inhe bataya nahi tha kya ke meri fees kya hai?", Shankar ne pen wala hath hata liya tha lekin uski kohni ki giraft itni majboot thi ki wo gainda tass se mass na ho saka.
"Tum kar kya rahe ho? Virendra ko chhod do aur hum tumhari saja kam kar denge.", Rana ke sath sath uski bagal me baithe bujurg ko bhi is vatanukalit hall me paseene aa chuke the. Shankar ne cigrattee nikal kar ek hath se he pehle mooh par lagaai aur fir usi hath se lighter jala kar sulga li. Table ke saamne baithe Sangwan ji aur Raunaklal muskura rahe the.
"3 baatein bata deta hu main tumhe Rana. Ek toh ye ki agar Shankar ne apni fees kabhi bataai hai toh mareej zinda nahi bacha lekin ye fees le kar rehta hai. Dusri baat, inke pita ke naam ke sath Pandit ji lagao ya kam se kam ji toh laga he lo aur shikshak bhi iske liye pita samaan hai toh ye unka kabhi anadar nahi hone deta. Aksar aise logo ki ye kalam pakadne wali ungli aur angootha kaat deta hai. Lekin tum nischint raho kyonki ye ghar aaye logo ki pehli baar me jaan nahi leta. Aur teesri baat jo ki tumhe sabse jyada yaad rakhni chahiye thi, galti se bhi lakkadbaggo ke jhund ko shero ki maand me nahi ghusna chahiye. Shankar akela he sher nahi hai idhar lekin yahi akela tumhari maand me ghuss kar har pille ki saans rok dega.", Dr Dharamvir Sangwan apni jagah se uth kar khade ho gaye the. Rana ko wo majboot sa bhai ladkhada raha tha kamjor pakad aur behte hue khoon ki wajah se. Shankar ke sharir ko dekh kar Rana ne uska aankalan bahot galat he lagaya tha. Lekin guroor fir bhi thoda bhari ha us par.
"Dekh rahe ho Dharamvir yaha kitne log hai? Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar aur maafi maang lo. Main jarurat se jyada dayavaan hu toh tumhe saja me sirf itna he karna hoga ki kabhi bhi Delhi ka rukh matt karna. Aur haan Raunaklal, tumhe ab dugni penalty lagegi.", Rana andar he andar apne bhai ki haalat dekh tilmila raha tha aur uske kareeb baitha wo bujurg uske kaan me kuch kehne ki koshshi karna chahta tha lekin is mahol me jaise sabka dhyaan Shankar par he tha.
"Ye milawat wala beej hai chacha, na sudharne wala. Waise tum Delhi ki baat kar rahe the na Rana toh saja sunn lo. Delhi me najar matt aana aainda kyonki main aaj he shaam Delhi ke liye nikalne wala hu. Jisko tum gundo ka shehjada bata rahe ho ye ladkiyon wala powder khila kar bada kiya hai tumne, isko main apne paas he rakhunga. Haan iska dhadd le kar ja sakte ho jab tumhare ye baaki lakadbagghe is hotel se 10 kos dur ja chuke ho.", Shankar ne thaan liya tha ke wo is pehalwan ko zinda nahi chhodne wala.
"Shankar Virendra ko zinda jaane do. Baat badh sakti hai. Rana ke pita.."
"Raunaklal ji, is gandmare ke baap pita aur mere papa? Unhone hamesha sikhaya hai ke apni ijjatt apne hath. Aap kya chahte ho main apne karam se na-insaafi karke ye operation blade wapis jeb me rakh lu.?", Ab Raunaklal ke sath sath Rana aur us bujurg ke bhi gotte mooh me aa gaye the. Shankar ka chehra tamtama raha tha aur us blade ki pakad jyada majboot dikhne lagi.
"Baat yahi khatam karte hai aur iske badle hum ek aur meeting rakhenge. Is taraf ki Delhi tumhari aur udhar ki hamari. Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar nahi toh yaha se koyi bhi zinda nahi jaane wala. Main apni baat ka pakka hu aur aaj pehli baar saamne wali ki baat maan raha hu. Mere bhai ko chhod do..", Rana na uth pa raha tha aur na he wo apne aadmiyon ko aadesh de saka. Shankar sirf Dharamvir ji ko he dekh raha tha jo muskurate hue khamoshi se is manjar ko jehan me sametne lage.
"Wo aisa hai Rana ki Shankar mera sabse kabil beta hai isliye ye akela 40 pratishat ka maalik hai aur mere baaki teen lafange 60% ke barabar bhagidar. Tum soch rahe ho ke bahar tumhari suraksha hai lekin wo tumhari soch hai. Ab waha sirf hum hai aur jo ye naumne garmi me bhi coat pant pehne baithe hai ya toh ye yaha se khamoshi se nikal jaaye nahi toh wo log andar aaye toh main Raunaklal ki baat se bhi ittefaaq nahi rakhne wala. Delhi me ab 5 hospital banenge aur wo sabhi tumhari jagah par jisme tumhara koyi hissa nahi hone wala kyonki tum na toh idhar ki taraf dikhoge aur na he udhar ki taraf. Ye kaagaz hai tumhari un jagah ke aur ye NOC hai. Keemat tumhari zindagi. Sign kar do.", Sangwan ji ne file aise khiskaai thi ki wo seedha Rana ke saamne ja ruki. Wo toh hairaan sa apni he jameen ke kaagaj dekh raha tha jinke sahi sahi kaagaj ye log pehle se he liye the.
"Aise kya dekh raha hai bhosdike? Mera bhai pehle pehle kaagaj banwata hai fir uske maalik ko bulwata hai. Shukar kar Inder yaha nahi aaya. Chal pen chala nahi toh..", Shankar ne itna kehne ke sath blade ka dabaav banaya toh Virendra Rana ke gale se patli se khoon ki dhaar risne lagi aur hall me dakhil hue Bhuppi, Deepak, Daleep aur Rajesh ke sath 4 log. Sabhi ke hath me swachalit tamanche chamak rahe the muskurahat ke sath.
"Matlab Raunaklal, tumne ye jaal bichhaya tha?"
"Bhosdike maine bola na mere bhai ne kiya tha ye sab. Usko Punjab me maja nahi aa raha tha aur main sarkari doctor hu isliye Delhi me kya karunga.? Haan un dono ko Delhi chahiye thi aur ye 100-200 crore wale kaam nahi karne the. Is chakkar me Sangwan chacha ne bola ke unhe ab kuch bade hospita bhi waha banane padenge toh tujhse milne aa gaye. Tu harek ko chutiya samajh raha tha aur yahi tujhse galti ho gay. Chal sign kar aur nikal. Iske badle main sachmuch tere bhai ko sabut saunp dunga.", Baaki sabhi ko Daleep and party ne ek ek karke chalta kar diya tha. Shankar ki baahon me Virendra toh kabka behosh he ho chuka tha jiski haalat dekh Rana ne bina dekhe sabhi kagajo par lagatar hastakshar kar diye.
"Mere bhai ko chhod do aur main Delhi se dur rahunga."
"Wo toh tu rahega he lekin tera baap.. Sorry tumhare aadarniya pita ji thode dheeth hai. Tum mujhe meri kundli aadhi adhuri bata rahe the na toh us se pehle jara apne pita ji se mere papa ke baare me pooch lete. Vir Singh Rana ki patloon geeli ho jaati us naam se agar tumne Pandit ji bol diya hota toh. Aye Deepak, is swami ke thik beech me goli maar. Swarg se pehle ye ruka na toh tujhe dekhne ke liye peeche bhejunga.", Shankar ki garjana khatam bhi nahi hui thi ki silencer lagi pistol se bas pitt ki awaaj aayi aur wo rudrakshdhari Swami kursi par ludhak gaya. Khoon ke chhinte Rana ke chehre par bhi gire the jis se wo seham kar hairat se sabko dekh raha tha. Shankar ne Rana ke bhai ka sharir jameen par girate hue swami ki gardan utha kar bade he gor se wo goli ka nishaan dekha jaha se khoon behta hua table ko bhigo raha tha.
"Ye swarg se bhi aage gaya beta. Tu toh champion ho gaya Deepak center point ka. Chal Rana tujhe main poore 5 minute de raha hu aur agar utni der me tu apne bhai ko le kar yaha se nikal gaya toh tum dono zinda rahoge nahi toh gate yaha se 250 gaj dur hai aur tumhari laash is sarhad me he kisi bagiche me dafan milegi.", Shankar ki baat sunn kar Rana ne pehle toh hall ko dekha jaha ab uska koyi bhi aadmi nahi tha lekin yaha jitne the sabke hatho me hathiyar. Uska bhai jo sharir me us se dugna tha wo murchhit pada tha. Rana ne jaise taise usko uthane ki bharpoor koshish ki lekin sawa 100 kilo se jyada ka wo pehalwan tass se mass na hua. Rana ke chehre se pasina paani ki tarah farsh par jaldi he girne laga aur samay teji se kam hota gaya.
"2 minute", Daleep ke itna kehte he Rana ne apne bhai ko wahi chhoda aur bahar ki taraf daud laga di.
"Jaane doge isko Shankar?"
"Haan chacha isko toh jaane he dunga. Abhi toh ye bahot kaam aane wala hai jaisa Inder ne kaha tha. Ye Virendra ko apne kabje me rakhna hai hume isliye mujhe aisa karna pada. Bhuppi iski atche se khaatir karna aur jo bhi chahiye ho wo muhaiyya karwana. Aapne atcha kaam kiya Raunaklal uncle aur baaki sab ne bhi.", Shankar ne paani ki bottle utha kar ek lamba ghoont bhara toh uske kareeb aa khade hue Dharamvir ji ne bade he sneh se kandha thapthapaya.
"Aaj pehli baar dekha ke mera Shankar shikaar karne ka riwaaj seekh raha hai. Mujhe toh laga tha yaha 20-25 laash girne wali hai lekin wo hero shayad kuch badal sa gaya.", Unki baat sunn kar Raunaklal ne bhi gardan haan me hilaai.
"Ye sahi kaha aapne bhai sahab. Mujhe bhi laga tha ke aaj inke sath sath hum log bhi swag-sidharne wale hai. Aur Shankar ki herogiri se toh khud Pandit ji bhi darte hai."
"Baat aisi hai ki mere dono bhai (Umed-Narinder) ne mujhe bataya tha yaha aane se pehle. Unka kehna tha ki jaruri nahi ki khoon bematlab bahaya jaaye agar kaam baaton se ho sakta ho toh. Us janwar ko bacha kar rakho us din ke liye jab khoon jyada bahana pade. Vir Singh Rana se Inder khud milna chahta hai wo bhi papa ki taraf se aur aise maslo ke beech Shankar kabhi nahi aata."
"Toh is swami ko kyun mara?"
"Maine mara? Main kaun hota hu chacha ji kisi ko maarne wala? Deepak tadaf raha tha rivolver liye aur mujhse ye dekha na gaya toh iske nishane ki pariksha leni chahi maine. Waise ye Sharman Muni tha, hawala wala aur iske jaane se Vir Singh Rana ke hath ab aadhe toh katt chuke hai. Ye pehli mulakaat atchi rahi Rana pariwar ke sath aur ab main ghar ja kar apne bete ko surprise dena chahta hu.", Shankar ne wo cigrattee joote ke niche daba kar bujhane ke baad apne blade aur hatheli ko paani se wahi saaf kiya.
"Toh aaj tum Arjun ke sath waqt bitane wale ho?", Rajesh ne ye kaha tha jo apne jija ke sath he aage chalne laga. Sangwan ji us file ko liye Raunaklal ko kuch samjha rahe the hanste hue aur baaki logo ne us swami ki lash ko thikane lagane ke liye ek kapde me lapet liya. Rajesh ke sath Daleep bhi tha.
"Mera beta hai Rajesh wo aur usko bhi chahat rehti hai ki main usko apni bagal me baitha kar thoda ghumau firau. Waise bhi usne mujhse apni maa ke liye bahot sawaal kiye the aur jab usne apni maa ka hath dekha toh mujhe jis tarah apne gale lagaya wo sirf main he mehsoos kar sakta hu. Ek mahine ke liye wo ghar se dur jaane wala hai. Mujhe bhi kami khalegi he uski chahe main ghar pe utna nahi rehta.", Daleep bade gor se Shankar ko dekh raha tha jo chalte hue apne bete ko yaad karke jis tarah khush tha wo sachmuch Shankar ki khaas muskaan thi, ek gehri muskaan kisi nischall pyaar ki.
"Jija maine toh aapko kabhi itne sensitive hote nahi dekha. Aur wo bas ek mahine ke liye ja raha hai jabki pehle bhi wo 8-9 saal ghar se dur raha tha. Waise atchi baat hai ki aap usko samajhte ho."
"8-9 saal nahi Rajesh 8 saal 137 din ya fir yun kahu ki 3060 din toh behtar rahega. Ye maine pehle nahi jana tha ke hum itne dur rahe hai. Kuch din pehle he maine ginti ki thi ki mera beta mujhse kitne samay dur raha. Uska mehatva mujhe thoda deri se pata chala lekin ek wahi hai jo papa ke sansaar ki neev barkaraar rakh sakta hai. Abhi yaha se jaate he main usko apne sath market le jaane wala hu. Ritu-Alka bhi jaayengi he lekin main chahta hu ki tu aur Daleep bhi mere sath chalo. Tu Rekha, Rupali, Aarti aur Komal ko le chalna. Daleep apne sath Manju, Pinki, Krishna aur Inder ko. Umed bhi tayaar milega.", Shankar ke aisa kehne par Daleep ko kuch khatka sa hua Manju ka naam sunn kar.
"Wo baaki log?"
"Jo araam karna chahte hai unhe karne de na yar aur Sanjiv ko bhi toh time dena hai. Baaki bhabhi aur Raju bhai ne behno ke sath geet he gaane hai Sanjiv Radhika ke. Main chahta hu ke kisi ko ye na lage ki wo Arjun ke sath samay nahi bita saka. Khaane ka bil aaj meri sasural ki taraf se."
"Hahaha.. jija. Meri he gaand maar li na?"
"Rajesh darling, isko gaand maarna nahi sewa ka mauka dena kehte hai. Teri he toh khushi badha raha hu main.", Shankar ki baat ka arth samajh kar Rajesh uske gale lag gaya.
"Didi ke liye."
"Haan teri didi ke liye. Wo chahti hai ki tu us se milne special ghar aaye. Chal fir aaj yahi gift sahi.", Shankar ne aisa kehne ke sath Rajesh ko peeche aane ka ishara diya Daleep ke sath aur esteem nikaal kar ghar ki taraf badh chala. Yaha wo suraksha ab hawa ho chuki thi jiske dum par S.V. Rana mulakaat karne aaya tha.

Pehli Mulakaat
Din ke 11 bajne tak yaha jyadatar log bister tyaag chuke the. Rekha he ekmatra stree thi jo abhi tak soyi thi aur uski wajah bhi sabko pata thi isliye koshshih rakhi gayi ki unke aaspas koyi awaaj na ho. Poore ghar me Kaushalya ji aur Rameshwar ji ke alawa koyi aur aisa tha jo ek pal bhi na soya tha wo Komal thi. Apni daadi ko khabar lagne se pehle he wo rasoi ke sara kaam nibta chuki thi aur dono kaamwali bai se poore ghar ki atchi tarah safaai bhi karwa di thi. Kaushalya ji rasmo ki tayaari karne ke baad aangan me aayi toh paseene se lathpath aur sabse bepawah si Komal ko rasoi ki garmi me ulajhte dekh kuch gambhir ho gayi.
"Matt bann dusri Rekha aur ye sharir hai na iski bhi seema hoti hai bitiya. Itna matt ghisao ke bhavishya me ye jaldi sath chhod de. Waise yaha se itni mehak kaise aa rahi hai?", Kaushalya ji ne apne pallu se he Komal ka chehra saaf karne ke baad chulhe par sikti wo bharwa bhindi dekh li thi par puchne ki mansha kuch aur bhi thi.
"Oh daadi aap bhi na. Na toh main kabhi aap jitna kaam kar sakti hu aur na he maa ki tarah. Parso aap he toh keh rahi thi ki nayi bahu ghar aaye toh chulhe par sabse pehle meetha he bann na chahiye.? Kheer tayaar kar rahi thi toh laga ki sabhi log halwai wala khana khaate hue pareshan na ho gaye ho. Ye amchoor wali bhindi dada ji ke sath sath chacha ji ko bhi pasand hai aur safed chhole ke sath chawal Sanjiv bhaiya ko. Aapne bhi kal thik se khana nahi khaya tha aur subah se ek cup chai ke alawa kuch liya bhi nahi. Gali me Gyaan uncle aaye the sabji le kar toh aapke liye ajwaain wali torai banai hai, bina jyada masale ke. Bas abhi maal-pooye baaki hai jo garam he thik rahenge parosne."
"Bas bas.. Paagal kahi ki. Wo bahar machine bhi tune he lagaai hogi?", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Komal ko jaise yaad aaya ki wo aakhiri chakkar ke kapde nikalne bhool gayi hai is sabme.
"Oh daadi. Main aati hu abhi kapde nikal kar. Galti se bhool gayi."
"Bas beta tu baith yaha. Maine kar di band aur wo kapde sukhane wo dono kaamwali chhat par bhej bhi di. Tujhe kya padi thi ye sab karne ki? Aaj he kapde bhi dho diye?", Komal ko apne sath liye wo wapis kamre me aa gayi thi. Chulha band tha ab sabji pakne se. Unke bister par ek taraf Shalini soyi hui thi aur uski bagal me Muskaan. Jisko bhi jaha jagah dikhi thi wo thakaan se wahi so gaya tha.
"Daadi, abhi lage hath kaam ho gaya na. Baad me jyada kaam ikattha ho jata aur mehmaan bhi chal-fir rahe hote. Mujhe yahi time thik laga aur baaki sabko araam ki jarurat bhi thi. Aap bhi toh aane ke baad nahi soyi.", Komal ne ek baar kamre me dakhil hote apne dada ji ko dekha jo ab tayaar ho chuke the.
"Ki gal ho rahi hai dono daadi pauti de vich?", Kursi laga kar wo bhi yahi baith gaye. Unke hath me ek file thi jo filhal band he rakhe hue the.
"Ye pagal araam karne ki jagah sara kaam akele he nibta chuki. Main isko yahi samjha rahi thi ki sabki aadatein itni na bigade ki kal ko unke sath sath hume bhi pareshani ho. Saaf-safaai karwane ke sath kapde aur khana tak kar diya is ladki ne akele. Kal subah 4 baje ki uthi hui hai.", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Rameshwar ji ne bade he sneh se Komal ke sar pe hath firate hue kaha.
"Thanedarni ji aap hum teeno ke liye chai he bana lo. Itne main meri is Annapurna ki khabar he le lu.", Kaushalya ji apne pita aur pauti ke sneh ko dekh muskurati hui khadi ho gayi. Komal khud ye karna chahti thi lekin apne dada ji ki baat par gor karte hue wo unhe prashanvachak nigah se he dekhne lagi. Kaushalya ji ke jaate he unhone wo file Komal ke saamne kar di. Hare gatte ki file khol kar Komal ne pehle toh un stamp paper ko sarsari nigah se dekha aur uske baad bina kuch kahe wo agle 2 page padhne lagi.
"Mujhe kya karna hai isme dada ji? Waise is par mere signature nahi hai aur iske baare me toh mujhe aapne ya daadi ne bhi nahi bataya.", Komal ne file ko bister par ek taraf rakh diya tha jaise wo filhal har baat ko atche se jaan sake.
"Pehle caretaker tumhari maa aur chachi thi is sabki. Tumhari chachi ne ye aage Priyanka ko waris banaya jab Arjun ne mana kiya aur baad me Arjun maan gaya toh usko. Aisa he Rekha bahu ne kiya tumhare aur Ritu ke kehne par. Lekin is bailbudhi ne ye nayi will tayaar karwa di apne bhai aur mujhe jhanse me le kar. Rupali ki taraf bhi usne aisa he kiya hai jisme filhal toh sabkuch Arjun he dekh raha hai lekin kanooni haq saari jameen-jayedad ka sirf aur sirf tumhare naam hai. Main chahta hu ki tum ye 10 pratishat ka labh Anjali bitiya ke naam kar do is Narinder wali taraf ka. Power of attorney tumhare he naam hai jabtak Arjun 21 ka nahi ho jata.", Yaha Rameshwar ji ne Roshni-Raman ki bitiya ka naam liya toh Komal ko jaise halki si uljhan hui par usne jara bhi jaahir na kiya.
"Mujhe kyun aitraaj hoga bhala dada ji? Waise bhi mujhe is sabme koyi interest nahi hai. Arjun ne toh mujhse poocha tak nahi aisa karwane se pehle aur mujhe pata bhi abhi lag raha hai. Bataye kaha sign karne hai?"
"File ke aakhir me 2 aur page hai. Unhe atche se padh lo sign karne se pehle. Ab Arjun ne aisa kyun kiya hai ye toh wahi bata sakta hai. Usne mana nahi kiya sab sambhalne se aur wo dhyaan deta hai har baat par. Sabke account me time se unka hissa dena aur jaha bhi kisi ko jarurat ho toh waha apni taraf se badha dena. Koyi naya bhagidar judta hai toh Arjun khud he usko ek uchit hissa pradaan karta hai.", Rameshwar ji baat karte hue ye bhi dekh rahe the ki Komal kaise bina koyi sawaal kiye lekin bade dhyaan se un panno ko jaanch rahi thi. Padhne ke baad usne aage palta toh waha bhi ek naya kaagaj tha.
"Yaha toh Radhika Dutt likha hai dada ji. Matlab bhabhi ko bhi Arjun ne .."
"Nahi nahi beta. Wo kagaj toh naam me badlaav aur yaha ke pariwar me shamil karne ke liye hai. Radhika ab is ghar ki sadasya hai na toh lage hath maine ye kaagaj bhi tayaar karwa liye. Haan ek sign yaha peeche khali panne par bhi kar do. Waise tumne ye nahi poocha beti ki hum aisa kyun kar rahe hai? Kyun Roshni aur Anjali ko hum idhar se hissedari de rahe hai jabki tumhare chote dada ke pas bhi sampatti hai aur Roshni ke pati alag jayedad hogi.", Rameshwar ji aadatan aise sawaal kar he lete the lekin yaha unke saamne Sanjiv ya Arjun na the. Ye Komal thi jo be-wajah sawaal nahi karti thi. Aur agar wo karti toh sawaal ummeed se kahi jyada he bade hote.
"Wo bhi pariwar ke sadasya hai dada ji aur aapne aisa fainsla liya hai toh jarur wajah hogi he. Jab aapke hath kisi ki madad kar sake us vyakti ke bure samay me toh is se badh kar insaaniyat kya hogi. Waise bhi yaha hum sabko aapne jarurat se jyada he diya hai, apne liye kuch na rakhte hue.", Rameshwar ji gadgad ho chuke the apni is sushil pauti ke jawaab se aur Kaushalya ji bhi chai le kar yaha aa chuki thi.
"Inke pas fir bhi bahot hai beti. 25 hajaar se jyada toh inki pension aati hai aur PF par toh byaaj bhi wasool rahe hai ye bank se. Lekin teri baat bhi thik hai ki jab apne hath me 2 roti ho toh agar hum ek kisi jaruratmand ko de bhi de toh wo ek roti hamare liye 2 ke barabar he rahegi. Chai pee kar tu araam kar le, fir khaane ke baad ye log toh gappe hankne me lage rahenge lekin tu Arjun ko market le jana. Mahine bhar ke liye wo jaane wala hai toh garmi ke hisaab se uske liye sahi kapde kharid lena. Aur uski khurak badalni hai toh wo parchi bhi main tumhe de dungi. Teri chachi aur taai ab tayaar hai toh jo thoda bahot kaam bach gaya wo unhe karne de. Pichli taraf wale kamre se agar 3 4 baje ke pehle tu bahar dikhi toh fer soch liyo.", Kaushalya ji ne ye pyaar bhari ghudki dete hue ek cup chai ka apne pati ki taraf badha diya. Komal bhi file ek taraf rakh chai ka aananad lene lagi. Sawaal Pandit ji ke mann me bhi the aur Komal ke bhi lekin ye dono he dridh mastishk insaan khud pehal nahi karne wale the.

Madhuri lagbhag 10 baje he apne sasural pahuch gayi thi. Abhishek ji ke sath darjan bhar caro me khaas baraati bhi yaha tak aaye the. Waise toh inke yaha sirf 4 he log the jisme se ek Shilpa ji ka shishu aur hafte me 5 din bahar rehne wala Gorav. Lekin is bade ghar ki dekhrekh Abhishek ji ke 2 vishwaspatra aur unki 19 varshiya santaan poore dil se karte the. Mukhya imarat me kuch jyada he bade aangan ke baad 2 manjilo par kul 8 kamre, 2 bade hall, ek rasoi aur lagbhag har kamre se juda bathroom tha. Ghar ki dekhbhal aur Shilpa ji ki madad ke liye hamesha uplabdh rehne wali Nepali mool ki Barsha Thapa (37) thi aur ghar ke sath bahar ke kaam ke liye uska mehnati evam saral swabhav pati Pashupati Thapa (40). Inki eklauti santaan Kiran Thapa (19), snatak ke pratham varsh imtihaan de chuki thi aur padhai ke sath sath wo apni maa aur Shilpa ji ki uchit madad karti thi.
"Choti memsaab toh bilkul chaand hai Abhishek babu. Sach kehti thi Shilpa memsaab ki Gorav babu ki kismat he tej hai. Aaiye dulhan ji aur apne daahine paanv se kalash palat kar kadam rakhiye apne ghar me. Bhagwan sukh-samridhi banaye rakhe.", Aarti ka thaal liye Barsha ne dwaar par he Gorav aur Madhuri ki nazar utari. Taamra-kalash me bhare chawal bikher Madhuri ne apne kadam bhitar rakhe toh pehle se maujood darjan bhar mehmaano ne phool aur chawal barsate hue dono ka swagat kiya. Lekin iske sath sath Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ke sar se shagun vaar kar Barsha ko dete hue ulahana bhi diya.
"Kitne baar kahe aapse Barsha ki humko memsaab mat kaha kijiye. Abhishek aapke liye babu hai wo thik lekin hume aap didi kehti hai wahi kahiye. Aur wo natkhat Gungun kaha hai? Ab tabiyat thik hai uski?", Shilpa ji apne rishteydaro aur devar-devrani ko liye aangan me aayi toh Pashupati ne pehle he sabke baithne aur nashte ka intjaam kar rakha tha. 3 lakdi ke table par thande paani aur sharbat ke gilas saje the kuch mishthaan aur phal-namkeen ke sath. Aangan me chhaya ke liye waise toh aam ke 2 vriksh paryapt the lekin shaadi wale ghar me lagne wala laal shamiana bhi bharpoor chhaya banaye tha. Rasoi se chai-coffee ki tray liye ye ujle salwar kameej me jarurat se jyada he gori yuvti in logo ko dekh wo tray pas wale table par rakh lagbhag daudti hui Shilpa ji ke paas aa gayi.
"Bhabhi aap ne mera intjaar bhi nahi kiya? Maa aap toh bolna bhi mat ab mere sath. Awaaj toh laga sakti thi ki chhoti bhabhi ghar aa gayi hai?", Takriban 5 feet ki ye ladki jis tarah se adhikar jata rahi thi wo dekh Abhishek ji aur Shilpa ji ke chehre par thakaan ke bawjood aseem khushi thi.
"Tujhe dhoop lag jaati na Gungun isliye maine he mana kiya tha. Ab dekh tere saamne hai teri nayi bhabhi aur Gorav se neg bhi le le teri marji ka.", Abhishek ji ne sabhi mehmano ko baithne ki gujarish karne ke sath sath is ladki ke bhi sar ko laad se sehlate hue kaha.
"Neg nahi chahiye Abhishek bhaiya. Bukhar ki wajah se pehle he main shaadi me na ja saki aur fir nayi bhabhi ke sath gate pe pehli photo bhi khinchne se reh gayi. Atcha toh aap na abhi mere sath aao nayi bhabhi aur Gorav bhaiya aap bhi aa sakte ho.", Ye ladki lagbhag Madhuri ka hath khinchte hue usko wapis he le ja rahi thi aur Shilpa ji bhi hanste hue apne devar ko unke peeche le gayi. Baraat ke sath gaye photographer ka camera khud he Abhishek ji ne utha liya kyonki wo vyakti hath mooh dhone ke baad abhi paani peene laga tha.
"Bhaiya ji ye ladki toh pagal hai aur aap isko daantne ki jagah iski baat maan rahe ho.?", Pashupati gamche se apna chehra saaf karta hua ghar ke maalik ki bagal me he chal raha tha.
"Pashupati ji, jab aapko bhi pata hai ki Kiran hamare liye ghar ki pehli bachi hai toh ye toka toki mat he kijiye. Aap mehmano ko dekhiye aur hum jara is shaitaan ki tasiveer khinch le. Shukar hai ki ye itne me he maan rahi hai.", Lekin Abhishek ji ki soch he galat nikli jab Kiran ne ek ya 2 nahi lagbhag darjan photo utarwaai aur baad me toh apne maa-baap ko bhi shamil kiya jab photographer khud he idhar chala aaya. Aas-pados ke log dono dulha-dulhan ko shagun ke sath shubhkamnaye dene ke baad nashta karne lage the aur Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ka parichaya karwaya.
"Ye Barsha didi hai jo hamare ghar ko ghar banaye rakhti hai, bina humse koyi mehnat karwaye aur ye hamari laadli hai Gungun. Waise toh iska naam Kiran hai lekin har waqt bas ye filmy gaane gungunati rehti hai jis wajah se tumhare jeth ji ne iska naam he Gungun rakh diya. Gorav aur inke liye Gungun he ghar ki beti aur inki behan hai. Abhishek jab bhi ghar hote hai toh unki subah ki chai hamesha yahi banati hai. Aur Gungun abse tumhe apni nayi bhabhi ka poora dhyaan rakhna hai.", Madhuri ne bhi bade saleeke se Kiran ko apne sath laga kar prem darshaya.
"Wo toh sab thik hai lekin aap toh neg ke baare me kuch keh rahi thi? Main nayi bhabhi ko apne sath he le jaungi market toh wahi se aap mujhe Rani Mukherji wali jeans dilwa dena. College me bahot si ladkiyan pehanti hai lekin maa toh mujhe salwar kameej ke alawa kuch dilwati he nahi.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Madhuri ke chehre par bhi muskaan aa gayi. Abhishek ji ne beech me dakhal dete hue kaha.
"Abhi tumhari nayi bhabhi ko araam karne ke liye unke kamre me le jao Gungun. Hum khud he kal sabko market le chalenge. Jo dil kare wo le lena aur tumhari maa bhi nahi tokegi. Gorav tum bhi thoda araam kar lo.", Baat bhi sahi thi jo saari raat shaadi me vyast hone ke baad 4-5 ghante ka safar aur idhar ghanta bhar mehmano ke sath lagane ke baad sharir ko araam ki sakht jarurat thi. Gungun urf Kiran turant he apni maa ko aankh chidhati hui Madhuri ko liye pehli manzil par badh chali. Kamre niche bhi the lekin Gorav hamesha se he upar wali manzil par akela rehta tha. Pehle kamre ko paar karke dono agle kamre me dakhil hone lagi toh Kiran ne he bataya.
"Bhabhi, ye pehle wala kamra bhi Gorav bhaiya ka he hai lekin usme sirf kitabe he kitabe hai. Wo toh chutti par bhi aate hai toh din bhar kitabo me lage rehte hai. Haan thoda khelne bhi jaate hai club me lekin jyadatar computer ya kitabe. Ye kamra bada hai jo ab aapka hai. Isko maine he sajaya hai aur subah jo gaadi aayi thi us se samaan nikaal kar main in dono almaari me laga chuki hu. Haan ye aapke chain wale bag maine nahi khole kyunki ye aapka jaruri samaan hoga.", Madhuri ke ghar se dahej chahe na bhi aaya ho lekin uphaar aur baaki sab samaan pehle he pauch chuka tha. Kiran ki mehnat aur is saaf suthre bade kamre ko dekh Madhuri sehajta se muskuraai.
"Ye meri taraf se neg samajh kar rakh lo Gungun. Ghar me sabse chhoti tumhi ho toh mana matt karna. Aur idhar bathroom hai?", Madhuri ne niche mile shagun ke darjan lifafe bina jaanche he Kiran ke hawale kar diye the jo wo badi hairaani se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ne bathroom dekha toh wo lagbhag ek kamre jitna he bada tha aur bilkul saaf. Jaise wo aajkal me he banaya gaya ho ya aadhunik samaan usme lagwa kar durust kiya ho. Aisa bathroom unke ghar bhi tha lekin ye wala toh kamre ke bheetar uska neeji tha.
"Aapne dekha bhi hai bhabhi ke ye kitne rupaye honge? Maa mujhe bahot maaregi aur ye shagun aapke hai toh aap he rakhiye."
"Shilpa didi ko bata dena ki ye maine apni marji se tumhe diye hai. Wo sambhal lengi apne aap. Aur ye kitne hai is se kya farak padta hai? Tumhare kaam he aayenge toh samjhdari se prayog karna. Ab tum ijajat do toh kya main fresh ho kar thoda araam kar lu?", Madhuri abhi tak un bhari vastro me thi aur Gungun usko pasine me dekh apne sar pe hath marti hui remote ki taraf lapki.
"Ye Aircondition chalana bhi yaad nahi raha. Haan aap fresh ho kar araam kijiye. Waise bhi yaha jyada log nahi aate toh aapko pareshani nahi hogi. Gorav bhaiya bhi aa gaye shayad.", Kiran ne kadmo ki aahat sunn li thi jo bilkul sahi thi. Par Gorav akela nahi aaya tha. Uske sath Shilpa ji bhi thi jo apne bete ko niche sula kar aayi thi.
"Badi bhabhi ye nayi bhabhi ne apne aap he mujhe diye hai. Unhone dekha bhi nahi ki ye kitne hai. Maine lene se mana kiya tha.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Shilpa ji ne uska gaal khinchte hue kaha.
"Rakh le jab diye hai toh. Aur kitne hai ye toh tu he dekh jab tujhe diye hai. Bank me dalwa liyo agar jyada ho toh. Chal ab ja ke araam kar tu bhi. Bukhaar utra nahi ki teri masti shuru ho gayi. Madhuri, tumhe kuch bhi chahiye ho toh..Mujhse mat kehna. Ye ghar tumhara bhi hai toh kisi ko bhi bol sakti ho. Aur jaise dil kare waise rehna. Yaha koyi panchayti raaj nahi hai. Gorav, tum bhi kapde badal kar araam kar lo. Phir shaam ko dinner par inke kuch friends aane wale hai tum dono se milne. Madhuri, tumhara sab samaan Kiran ne laga diya hai Barsha ke sath mil kar. Dekh lena.", Shilpa jis tarah se muskura kar wapis gayi thi us par Madhuri ki toh najar nahi padi lekin Gorav jarur jhemp gaya. Phir wo bhi diwar me bani un almari ki taraf badhte hue bola.
"Madhuri, main bagal wale kamre me nahane ja raha hu. Tum chaho toh kamra band kar sakti ho."
"Aap naha ke aa jaiye aur darwaja bahar se he laga dijiyega. Ye aapka bhi kamra hai.", Madhuri ne Gorav se pehle he almari khol kar saleeke se lage Gorav ke kapdo se ek kurta-pyjama, toliya nikal kar najre jhukaye he uski aur badha diya. Gorav ke gambhir chehre par halki si muskaan aayi thi ye dekh ki abhi Madhuri ko aaye chand ghante he hue hai aur wo patni wale karya karne lagi hai.
"Wo mere underwears main khud le leta hu.", Gorav aage badha toh almari ke dono pallo ke beech ab wo Madhuri ke sharir se bilkul satt kar ek daraaj se katcha-baniyaan nikalne laga. Na chahte hue bhi dono ke sharir me halka gharshan hua tha aur Madhuri ka wo vishal ubhaar ek taraf se Gorav ki kohni ko chho gaya. Madhuri ko abhi tak apne jism par sirf Arjun ka he sparsh anubhav tha lekin Gorav uska pati tha jo ek tarah se jiwanbhar ab uske sath bister sanjha karne wala tha. Chehre par halki si laali aur sharam aa he gayi thi is sparsh se. Gorav ko jab uske wo kapde na mile toh Madhuri ne jhuk kar bagal wali daraaj ko dekha. Ab dono miya biwi ek jaisi mudra me the aur Gorav toh sab bhool kar bas us kudrat ke hunar ko nihar raha tha. Madhuri ke chikne bhare bhare gaal, chehre par khaas chamak ke sath naak me bali aur gaal se latakti wo baalo ki ghumavdar latt. Madhuri ne dono vastra nikal liye toh najre aapas me takraai. Gorav hichkichata hua palat kar seedha ho gaya.
"Thank you."
"Welcome.", Madhuri ke jawaab ko sunn kar wo jaane se pehle achanak he uske gaal ko sehla kar kamre se nikal gaya. Wo bhi Gorav ki is harkat par kuch pal hairaan hui fir sar jhatakte hue boli.
'Khud he keh rahe the ki tum shaadi se mana kar do aur ab janaab ke chehre ki khushi kal se kuch aur bata rahi hai.', Madhuri apne kapde bhi le kar us bathroom me ghus gayi. Araam karne se pehle naha lena jaruri tha. Aur jabtak wo bathroom se naha kar salwar kameej me kamre me aayi darwaja band he tha lekin bister par Gorav jarur karwat ke bal leta dikha. Shayad wo thakne ki wajah se jald he so gaya tha jaisa Madhuri ko prateet hua. Aaine me khud ko sanwarne ke baad usne pehle Gorav ko chaadar di kamre me thandak ki wajah se aur fir khud bhi ek taraf ke khali hisse me Gorav ki taraf peeth karke leit gayi. Nayi jagah aur apne bhare-poore pariwar se dur Madhuri ko ab is bister par neend nahi aa rahi thi. Bagal me soya vyakti bas aaj he toh zindagi me aaya tha aur aise dhero vichar liye Madhuri ne 3-4 baar karwat li.
"Tum thik ho na Madhuri? Jaanta hu ke tumhe andar he andar ye ajeeb lag raha hoga. Ek naya pariwar aur upar se ghar se dur. Maa ji (Lalita) ne bataya tha ke tum apne jiwan me kabhi bhi ghar se dur nahi rahi ho. Waha hain bhi toh dher saare behan bhai jinke bina tumhe aisa lagna jayaj bhi hai. Jiwan me bahot kuch pehli baar he hota hai Madhuri aur jaruri nahi ke wo bura he ho. Dhire dhire se he sahi lekin kadam badhane se hum ek waisa he sansaar bana sakte hai. Apna sansaar, jaisa tumhe pasand hai.", Gorav ne aisa kehte hue Madhuri ke sar ko halke hatho se sehlaya toh wo badi badi aankhon se ab pehli baar is vyakti ko gor se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ko yu khamosh khud ki taraf dekhta pa kar Gorav ne haami bhari.
"Main tayaar nahi tha Madhuri jaisa maine pehli mulakaat par bataya tha tumhe ki tum mana kar do. Bhaiya ne apne liye kabhi kuch nahi kiya aur shaadi hone baad bhi unki prathmikta sirf main aur hamare pita ka khoya naam wapis banana he the. Mujhe kabil banane ke liye unhone kabhi khud par dhyaan nahi diya aur jab unhone chaha ki ye ghar aur bhi pahle-phule toh maine ek aashanka ki wajah se tumhe wo kaha tha. Mujhe darr tha ki kahi meri wajah se tumhara jiwan bematlab me na kharaab ho. Par main galat tha Madhuri. Pariwar badhne se samsyaye khatam hoti hai aur ekakipan sirf khud ko tasalli dena bhar hai. Sabhi khush the is shaadi me jabki unhe toh kuch mil bhi nahi raha tha. Wo naseebwala main tha jiske liye sabhi khush the aur mujhe tum mili ho. Sapno pe kaam karna toh nahi rokunga lekin tumhe bhi shikayat nahi hone dunga. Mujhse pehle is ghar ko tumhari jarurat hai. Bhabhi ko tumhari jarurat hai Madhuri aur sabko. Itminaan se bas araam karo aur ye khayaal nikal do apne dil se ki tum nayi jagah ho. Ye tumhari jagah hai.", Gorav ne jis tarah se lagatar sar sehlate hue Madhuri se apne jajbaat jaahir kiye the wo kuch sarak kar apne pati ke kareeb ho gayi. Iske baad kuch jyada baat na hui dono me aur is baar Madhuri bhi chain se so gayi. Goarav ne beech me thoda fansla fir barkarar kiya aur usko bhi jyada samay na laga.

Shankar ghar se toh hospital me kaam ka bol kar nikle the lekin ye jagah kisi bhi surat me hospital jaisi nahi thi. Shehar ke agle bypass par bana ye aalishan hotel aur uske bahar se bhitar tak ki ati-vishisht suraksha kuch aur he kahani bayaan karti thi. Yaha is samay me kisi bhi rahgir ko rukne ki saaf manahi thi aur wajah saaf thi. Hotel me pravesh karte he kuch mehngi caro ka kafila aur unke beech wo ekmatra sadharan esteem car. Ye vyaktitva apne aap me ek he tha aur wo tha Dr Shankar Sharma. Hotel me aaj ye mehtvapurn mulakaat is bade hall me ho rahi thi jaha kisi waiter tak ko jaane ki manahi thi. Service ka bhaar bhi suraksh dekhne walo par he tha. 23-24 log is hall me maujood the jinme se sirf 3 he yaha se sambandh rakhte the. Dr Shankar, Dr Dharamvir Sangwan aur Delhi se padhare Shriman Raunaklal. Baaki 20 logo me se jyadatar coat-pant pehne manager jaise ya karobari the aur sirf 3 log thik in teeno ke saamne. Ek hatta katta 35 barash ka pehalwan sa yuvak jiske gaal kashimiri seb se laal aur sharir daitya sa. Dusra gambhir, mehngi safed kameej pehne darmiyane se kad ka ghungrale baal wala lekin sabse robila adhed aur unke beech baitha wo 55-60 baras ka ek sant-bheshbhusha wala lekin inka mukhiya. Gale me rudraaksh ki mala, hath me sone ki janjire aur sharir fakk safed varstro me.
"Ye Raunaklal jis marji sarkaar me ho lekin isko hamari taqat ka atche se pata hai. Aur tum Dharamvir Sangwan, kehne ko toh is Shankar ke shikshak ho aur kuch chhote mote hospital ke maalik lekin bewajah bahot si jagah tum apni taang adaane se baaj nahi aate. Khair tum bhi yaha isliye bulaye gaye ho ki Delhi aur uske najdeek hamare 5 hospital me apni sewa de sako. Jagah hamari hogi, paisa Raunaklal aur tum barabar lagaoge. Haan ye Gajendra Bhalla jaise chhuttbhaiya ke sath kaam tum dono nahi karoge.", Us adhed se ghungrale baalo walo ne cigar ko jalane se pehle thoda mooh me daba kar toda aur fir jalane ke baad apni baat kahi. Jinhe wo naam se pukar raha tha wo dono he uske baap ki umar ke the. Is vyakti ka naam tha Suryavir Singh Rana, S.V. group of companies ka maalik aur desh videsh me khaase rasookh wala. Shankar iski baat ko darkinaar karte hue itminaan se kaali coffee ki chuskiyan le raha tha.
"Mere pas 10 hospital hai Rana aur mujhe nahi lagta ki mujhe filhal koyi naya kaam shuru karna chahiye.", Dharamvir Sangwan ke itne se jawaab par wo hatta katta sa aadmi nakhush dikha lekin Rana ne ishare se usko khamosh he rakha.
"Waise toh tumhari ye baat mere bhai ko nagawar gujri hai Dharavir lekin chalo tumhari ye pehli gustakhi hai aur doctor ke sath tum ek shikshak bhi rahe ho isliye main tumhe maaf karta hu. Wo 10 hospital he toh tum hamare sath mila rahe ho. Unme se 5 hum band karenge aur baaki pahcho par paisa laga kar wo aalishan imarat tayaar karenge ki poore uttar bharat me phir unke samaan koyi hospital na hoga. Tumse kuch paisa waisa nahi le rahe aur na tumhari hasiyat hai ki trucko ke hisaab se tum hamara khajana bhar sako. Raunaklal, tumne samjhaya nahi tha kya isko? Mere har minute ki keemat 5 lakh hai.", Rana ke chehre par koyi gussa na tha lekin awaaj bata rahi thi ki usko guroor bhi tha aur wo taqatwar bhi.
"Fainsle Dharamvir bhai sahab nahi lete Rana sahab. Shankar he adhikarik maalik hai share ke hisaab se aur Gajendra Bhalla ke sath Delhi me naye vypaar ka bada bhagidar bhi. Kaha kaam karna hai, kya kaam karna hai aur kiske sath karna hai ye sirf Shankar he taye karta hai aur agar Shankar uplabdh na ho toh Umed Singh.", Raunaklal Delhi me rasookhwala tha lekin yaha toh wo bhi is aadmi ko 'ji' ke sath sambodhit kar raha tha. Shankar abhi bhi diary par kuch likhta hua wo kali coffee me laga raha.
"Shankar. Dr Shankar Sharma suputra Rameshwar Sharma. Iska baap police afsar tha jo ab retired hai? 3 bhai aur ek behan. Patni se 3 aulaad jinme sabse chota ek ladka baaki dono ladkiyan. Chhota mota gunda bhi hai ye safed kapdo ke peeche lekin isko itni bhi kya ehmiyat de rakhi hai Dharamvir jo ye maalik bana hua hai? Aur Raunaklal, tum toh jaante ho mere bhai ke saamne sabhi gundo ki patloon kaise gili ho jaati hai. Ye chhote mote shehar wale bas gali mohalle me apne baap ke naam par 2-3 ke hath paanv todd kar raub jama lete hai. Yaha saamne wala awaaj baad me karta hai, pehle uske maathe ke beech bindi bann jaati hai.", Rana jaise bol raha tha uske darjan bhar coat-pant pehne wo chaddam gunde daant dikhane lage.
"21 minute hue hai aur is hisaab se tumhari nautanki ke hue 85 lakh. Ye toh kuch jyada he ho gaye lekin chalo tum yaha aaye ho toh khali hath toh nahi bhejunga tumhe. Ye cheque bana diya hai maine aur agar tumhe isko bhunane me koyi pareshani hai toh meri gaadi me ek crore pada hai.", Shankar pen aur cheque liye maje se tehalta hua table ke dusri taraf un teeno ke peeche ja ruka lekin uski jubaan sunn kar Rana ka chehra laal ho chuka tha. Uska wo pehalwan gunda bhai bhi akad kar kuch kehne he laga tha lekin us se pehle Shankar ne wo cheque Rana ke mooh par de mara aur pen us pehalwan ke kandhe me, jo shayad mehnga tha ispaat se bana hua. Lagbhag aadha pen us gainde jaise aadmi ke kandhe ki nichli haddi ke barabar se sharir me ghuss chuka tha. Koyi bhi harkat me aata us se pehle Shankar ka pasandida hathiyar is haal me chamak raha tha jo Rana ke bhai ke gale par tika tha.
"Randi ki aulaad saale yaha ek chutiya gandmare ko apna swami bana kar aa pahuche. Aur inhe lagta hai ki 5000 crore ki dalali karke ye maadarchod kisi ke bhi sar par mootne lagenge. Aye Raunaklal uncle. Inhe bataya nahi tha kya ke meri fees kya hai?", Shankar ne pen wala hath hata liya tha lekin uski kohni ki giraft itni majboot thi ki wo gainda tass se mass na ho saka.
"Tum kar kya rahe ho? Virendra ko chhod do aur hum tumhari saja kam kar denge.", Rana ke sath sath uski bagal me baithe bujurg ko bhi is vatanukalit hall me paseene aa chuke the. Shankar ne cigrattee nikal kar ek hath se he pehle mooh par lagaai aur fir usi hath se lighter jala kar sulga li. Table ke saamne baithe Sangwan ji aur Raunaklal muskura rahe the.
"3 baatein bata deta hu main tumhe Rana. Ek toh ye ki agar Shankar ne apni fees kabhi bataai hai toh mareej zinda nahi bacha lekin ye fees le kar rehta hai. Dusri baat, inke pita ke naam ke sath Pandit ji lagao ya kam se kam ji toh laga he lo aur shikshak bhi iske liye pita samaan hai toh ye unka kabhi anadar nahi hone deta. Aksar aise logo ki ye kalam pakadne wali ungli aur angootha kaat deta hai. Lekin tum nischint raho kyonki ye ghar aaye logo ki pehli baar me jaan nahi leta. Aur teesri baat jo ki tumhe sabse jyada yaad rakhni chahiye thi, galti se bhi lakkadbaggo ke jhund ko shero ki maand me nahi ghusna chahiye. Shankar akela he sher nahi hai idhar lekin yahi akela tumhari maand me ghuss kar har pille ki saans rok dega.", Dr Dharamvir Sangwan apni jagah se uth kar khade ho gaye the. Rana ko wo majboot sa bhai ladkhada raha tha kamjor pakad aur behte hue khoon ki wajah se. Shankar ke sharir ko dekh kar Rana ne uska aankalan bahot galat he lagaya tha. Lekin guroor fir bhi thoda bhari ha us par.
"Dekh rahe ho Dharamvir yaha kitne log hai? Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar aur maafi maang lo. Main jarurat se jyada dayavaan hu toh tumhe saja me sirf itna he karna hoga ki kabhi bhi Delhi ka rukh matt karna. Aur haan Raunaklal, tumhe ab dugni penalty lagegi.", Rana andar he andar apne bhai ki haalat dekh tilmila raha tha aur uske kareeb baitha wo bujurg uske kaan me kuch kehne ki koshshi karna chahta tha lekin is mahol me jaise sabka dhyaan Shankar par he tha.
"Ye milawat wala beej hai chacha, na sudharne wala. Waise tum Delhi ki baat kar rahe the na Rana toh saja sunn lo. Delhi me najar matt aana aainda kyonki main aaj he shaam Delhi ke liye nikalne wala hu. Jisko tum gundo ka shehjada bata rahe ho ye ladkiyon wala powder khila kar bada kiya hai tumne, isko main apne paas he rakhunga. Haan iska dhadd le kar ja sakte ho jab tumhare ye baaki lakadbagghe is hotel se 10 kos dur ja chuke ho.", Shankar ne thaan liya tha ke wo is pehalwan ko zinda nahi chhodne wala.
"Shankar Virendra ko zinda jaane do. Baat badh sakti hai. Rana ke pita.."
"Raunaklal ji, is gandmare ke baap pita aur mere papa? Unhone hamesha sikhaya hai ke apni ijjatt apne hath. Aap kya chahte ho main apne karam se na-insaafi karke ye operation blade wapis jeb me rakh lu.?", Ab Raunaklal ke sath sath Rana aur us bujurg ke bhi gotte mooh me aa gaye the. Shankar ka chehra tamtama raha tha aur us blade ki pakad jyada majboot dikhne lagi.
"Baat yahi khatam karte hai aur iske badle hum ek aur meeting rakhenge. Is taraf ki Delhi tumhari aur udhar ki hamari. Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar nahi toh yaha se koyi bhi zinda nahi jaane wala. Main apni baat ka pakka hu aur aaj pehli baar saamne wali ki baat maan raha hu. Mere bhai ko chhod do..", Rana na uth pa raha tha aur na he wo apne aadmiyon ko aadesh de saka. Shankar sirf Dharamvir ji ko he dekh raha tha jo muskurate hue khamoshi se is manjar ko jehan me sametne lage.
"Wo aisa hai Rana ki Shankar mera sabse kabil beta hai isliye ye akela 40 pratishat ka maalik hai aur mere baaki teen lafange 60% ke barabar bhagidar. Tum soch rahe ho ke bahar tumhari suraksha hai lekin wo tumhari soch hai. Ab waha sirf hum hai aur jo ye naumne garmi me bhi coat pant pehne baithe hai ya toh ye yaha se khamoshi se nikal jaaye nahi toh wo log andar aaye toh main Raunaklal ki baat se bhi ittefaaq nahi rakhne wala. Delhi me ab 5 hospital banenge aur wo sabhi tumhari jagah par jisme tumhara koyi hissa nahi hone wala kyonki tum na toh idhar ki taraf dikhoge aur na he udhar ki taraf. Ye kaagaz hai tumhari un jagah ke aur ye NOC hai. Keemat tumhari zindagi. Sign kar do.", Sangwan ji ne file aise khiskaai thi ki wo seedha Rana ke saamne ja ruki. Wo toh hairaan sa apni he jameen ke kaagaj dekh raha tha jinke sahi sahi kaagaj ye log pehle se he liye the.
"Aise kya dekh raha hai bhosdike? Mera bhai pehle pehle kaagaj banwata hai fir uske maalik ko bulwata hai. Shukar kar Inder yaha nahi aaya. Chal pen chala nahi toh..", Shankar ne itna kehne ke sath blade ka dabaav banaya toh Virendra Rana ke gale se patli se khoon ki dhaar risne lagi aur hall me dakhil hue Bhuppi, Deepak, Daleep aur Rajesh ke sath 4 log. Sabhi ke hath me swachalit tamanche chamak rahe the muskurahat ke sath.
"Matlab Raunaklal, tumne ye jaal bichhaya tha?"
"Bhosdike maine bola na mere bhai ne kiya tha ye sab. Usko Punjab me maja nahi aa raha tha aur main sarkari doctor hu isliye Delhi me kya karunga.? Haan un dono ko Delhi chahiye thi aur ye 100-200 crore wale kaam nahi karne the. Is chakkar me Sangwan chacha ne bola ke unhe ab kuch bade hospita bhi waha banane padenge toh tujhse milne aa gaye. Tu harek ko chutiya samajh raha tha aur yahi tujhse galti ho gay. Chal sign kar aur nikal. Iske badle main sachmuch tere bhai ko sabut saunp dunga.", Baaki sabhi ko Daleep and party ne ek ek karke chalta kar diya tha. Shankar ki baahon me Virendra toh kabka behosh he ho chuka tha jiski haalat dekh Rana ne bina dekhe sabhi kagajo par lagatar hastakshar kar diye.
"Mere bhai ko chhod do aur main Delhi se dur rahunga."
"Wo toh tu rahega he lekin tera baap.. Sorry tumhare aadarniya pita ji thode dheeth hai. Tum mujhe meri kundli aadhi adhuri bata rahe the na toh us se pehle jara apne pita ji se mere papa ke baare me pooch lete. Vir Singh Rana ki patloon geeli ho jaati us naam se agar tumne Pandit ji bol diya hota toh. Aye Deepak, is swami ke thik beech me goli maar. Swarg se pehle ye ruka na toh tujhe dekhne ke liye peeche bhejunga.", Shankar ki garjana khatam bhi nahi hui thi ki silencer lagi pistol se bas pitt ki awaaj aayi aur wo rudrakshdhari Swami kursi par ludhak gaya. Khoon ke chhinte Rana ke chehre par bhi gire the jis se wo seham kar hairat se sabko dekh raha tha. Shankar ne Rana ke bhai ka sharir jameen par girate hue swami ki gardan utha kar bade he gor se wo goli ka nishaan dekha jaha se khoon behta hua table ko bhigo raha tha.
"Ye swarg se bhi aage gaya beta. Tu toh champion ho gaya Deepak center point ka. Chal Rana tujhe main poore 5 minute de raha hu aur agar utni der me tu apne bhai ko le kar yaha se nikal gaya toh tum dono zinda rahoge nahi toh gate yaha se 250 gaj dur hai aur tumhari laash is sarhad me he kisi bagiche me dafan milegi.", Shankar ki baat sunn kar Rana ne pehle toh hall ko dekha jaha ab uska koyi bhi aadmi nahi tha lekin yaha jitne the sabke hatho me hathiyar. Uska bhai jo sharir me us se dugna tha wo murchhit pada tha. Rana ne jaise taise usko uthane ki bharpoor koshish ki lekin sawa 100 kilo se jyada ka wo pehalwan tass se mass na hua. Rana ke chehre se pasina paani ki tarah farsh par jaldi he girne laga aur samay teji se kam hota gaya.
"2 minute", Daleep ke itna kehte he Rana ne apne bhai ko wahi chhoda aur bahar ki taraf daud laga di.
"Jaane doge isko Shankar?"
"Haan chacha isko toh jaane he dunga. Abhi toh ye bahot kaam aane wala hai jaisa Inder ne kaha tha. Ye Virendra ko apne kabje me rakhna hai hume isliye mujhe aisa karna pada. Bhuppi iski atche se khaatir karna aur jo bhi chahiye ho wo muhaiyya karwana. Aapne atcha kaam kiya Raunaklal uncle aur baaki sab ne bhi.", Shankar ne paani ki bottle utha kar ek lamba ghoont bhara toh uske kareeb aa khade hue Dharamvir ji ne bade he sneh se kandha thapthapaya.
"Aaj pehli baar dekha ke mera Shankar shikaar karne ka riwaaj seekh raha hai. Mujhe toh laga tha yaha 20-25 laash girne wali hai lekin wo hero shayad kuch badal sa gaya.", Unki baat sunn kar Raunaklal ne bhi gardan haan me hilaai.
"Ye sahi kaha aapne bhai sahab. Mujhe bhi laga tha ke aaj inke sath sath hum log bhi swag-sidharne wale hai. Aur Shankar ki herogiri se toh khud Pandit ji bhi darte hai."
"Baat aisi hai ki mere dono bhai (Umed-Narinder) ne mujhe bataya tha yaha aane se pehle. Unka kehna tha ki jaruri nahi ki khoon bematlab bahaya jaaye agar kaam baaton se ho sakta ho toh. Us janwar ko bacha kar rakho us din ke liye jab khoon jyada bahana pade. Vir Singh Rana se Inder khud milna chahta hai wo bhi papa ki taraf se aur aise maslo ke beech Shankar kabhi nahi aata."
"Toh is swami ko kyun mara?"
"Maine mara? Main kaun hota hu chacha ji kisi ko maarne wala? Deepak tadaf raha tha rivolver liye aur mujhse ye dekha na gaya toh iske nishane ki pariksha leni chahi maine. Waise ye Sharman Muni tha, hawala wala aur iske jaane se Vir Singh Rana ke hath ab aadhe toh katt chuke hai. Ye pehli mulakaat atchi rahi Rana pariwar ke sath aur ab main ghar ja kar apne bete ko surprise dena chahta hu.", Shankar ne wo cigrattee joote ke niche daba kar bujhane ke baad apne blade aur hatheli ko paani se wahi saaf kiya.
"Toh aaj tum Arjun ke sath waqt bitane wale ho?", Rajesh ne ye kaha tha jo apne jija ke sath he aage chalne laga. Sangwan ji us file ko liye Raunaklal ko kuch samjha rahe the hanste hue aur baaki logo ne us swami ki lash ko thikane lagane ke liye ek kapde me lapet liya. Rajesh ke sath Daleep bhi tha.
"Mera beta hai Rajesh wo aur usko bhi chahat rehti hai ki main usko apni bagal me baitha kar thoda ghumau firau. Waise bhi usne mujhse apni maa ke liye bahot sawaal kiye the aur jab usne apni maa ka hath dekha toh mujhe jis tarah apne gale lagaya wo sirf main he mehsoos kar sakta hu. Ek mahine ke liye wo ghar se dur jaane wala hai. Mujhe bhi kami khalegi he uski chahe main ghar pe utna nahi rehta.", Daleep bade gor se Shankar ko dekh raha tha jo chalte hue apne bete ko yaad karke jis tarah khush tha wo sachmuch Shankar ki khaas muskaan thi, ek gehri muskaan kisi nischall pyaar ki.
"Jija maine toh aapko kabhi itne sensitive hote nahi dekha. Aur wo bas ek mahine ke liye ja raha hai jabki pehle bhi wo 8-9 saal ghar se dur raha tha. Waise atchi baat hai ki aap usko samajhte ho."
"8-9 saal nahi Rajesh 8 saal 137 din ya fir yun kahu ki 3060 din toh behtar rahega. Ye maine pehle nahi jana tha ke hum itne dur rahe hai. Kuch din pehle he maine ginti ki thi ki mera beta mujhse kitne samay dur raha. Uska mehatva mujhe thoda deri se pata chala lekin ek wahi hai jo papa ke sansaar ki neev barkaraar rakh sakta hai. Abhi yaha se jaate he main usko apne sath market le jaane wala hu. Ritu-Alka bhi jaayengi he lekin main chahta hu ki tu aur Daleep bhi mere sath chalo. Tu Rekha, Rupali, Aarti aur Komal ko le chalna. Daleep apne sath Manju, Pinki, Krishna aur Inder ko. Umed bhi tayaar milega.", Shankar ke aisa kehne par Daleep ko kuch khatka sa hua Manju ka naam sunn kar.
"Wo baaki log?"
"Jo araam karna chahte hai unhe karne de na yar aur Sanjiv ko bhi toh time dena hai. Baaki bhabhi aur Raju bhai ne behno ke sath geet he gaane hai Sanjiv Radhika ke. Main chahta hu ke kisi ko ye na lage ki wo Arjun ke sath samay nahi bita saka. Khaane ka bil aaj meri sasural ki taraf se."
"Hahaha.. jija. Meri he gaand maar li na?"
"Rajesh darling, isko gaand maarna nahi sewa ka mauka dena kehte hai. Teri he toh khushi badha raha hu main.", Shankar ki baat ka arth samajh kar Rajesh uske gale lag gaya.
"Didi ke liye."
"Haan teri didi ke liye. Wo chahti hai ki tu us se milne special ghar aaye. Chal fir aaj yahi gift sahi.", Shankar ne aisa kehne ke sath Rajesh ko peeche aane ka ishara diya Daleep ke sath aur esteem nikaal kar ghar ki taraf badh chala. Yaha wo suraksha ab hawa ho chuki thi jiske dum par S.V. Rana mulakaat karne aaya tha.
Enigma bhai ki boli matlab bandook ki goliUpdate 193 (1)
Pehli Mulakaat
Din ke 11 bajne tak yaha jyadatar log bister tyaag chuke the. Rekha he ekmatra stree thi jo abhi tak soyi thi aur uski wajah bhi sabko pata thi isliye koshshih rakhi gayi ki unke aaspas koyi awaaj na ho. Poore ghar me Kaushalya ji aur Rameshwar ji ke alawa koyi aur aisa tha jo ek pal bhi na soya tha wo Komal thi. Apni daadi ko khabar lagne se pehle he wo rasoi ke sara kaam nibta chuki thi aur dono kaamwali bai se poore ghar ki atchi tarah safaai bhi karwa di thi. Kaushalya ji rasmo ki tayaari karne ke baad aangan me aayi toh paseene se lathpath aur sabse bepawah si Komal ko rasoi ki garmi me ulajhte dekh kuch gambhir ho gayi.
"Matt bann dusri Rekha aur ye sharir hai na iski bhi seema hoti hai bitiya. Itna matt ghisao ke bhavishya me ye jaldi sath chhod de. Waise yaha se itni mehak kaise aa rahi hai?", Kaushalya ji ne apne pallu se he Komal ka chehra saaf karne ke baad chulhe par sikti wo bharwa bhindi dekh li thi par puchne ki mansha kuch aur bhi thi.
"Oh daadi aap bhi na. Na toh main kabhi aap jitna kaam kar sakti hu aur na he maa ki tarah. Parso aap he toh keh rahi thi ki nayi bahu ghar aaye toh chulhe par sabse pehle meetha he bann na chahiye.? Kheer tayaar kar rahi thi toh laga ki sabhi log halwai wala khana khaate hue pareshan na ho gaye ho. Ye amchoor wali bhindi dada ji ke sath sath chacha ji ko bhi pasand hai aur safed chhole ke sath chawal Sanjiv bhaiya ko. Aapne bhi kal thik se khana nahi khaya tha aur subah se ek cup chai ke alawa kuch liya bhi nahi. Gali me Gyaan uncle aaye the sabji le kar toh aapke liye ajwaain wali torai banai hai, bina jyada masale ke. Bas abhi maal-pooye baaki hai jo garam he thik rahenge parosne."
"Bas bas.. Paagal kahi ki. Wo bahar machine bhi tune he lagaai hogi?", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Komal ko jaise yaad aaya ki wo aakhiri chakkar ke kapde nikalne bhool gayi hai is sabme.
"Oh daadi. Main aati hu abhi kapde nikal kar. Galti se bhool gayi."
"Bas beta tu baith yaha. Maine kar di band aur wo kapde sukhane wo dono kaamwali chhat par bhej bhi di. Tujhe kya padi thi ye sab karne ki? Aaj he kapde bhi dho diye?", Komal ko apne sath liye wo wapis kamre me aa gayi thi. Chulha band tha ab sabji pakne se. Unke bister par ek taraf Shalini soyi hui thi aur uski bagal me Muskaan. Jisko bhi jaha jagah dikhi thi wo thakaan se wahi so gaya tha.
"Daadi, abhi lage hath kaam ho gaya na. Baad me jyada kaam ikattha ho jata aur mehmaan bhi chal-fir rahe hote. Mujhe yahi time thik laga aur baaki sabko araam ki jarurat bhi thi. Aap bhi toh aane ke baad nahi soyi.", Komal ne ek baar kamre me dakhil hote apne dada ji ko dekha jo ab tayaar ho chuke the.
"Ki gal ho rahi hai dono daadi pauti de vich?", Kursi laga kar wo bhi yahi baith gaye. Unke hath me ek file thi jo filhal band he rakhe hue the.
"Ye pagal araam karne ki jagah sara kaam akele he nibta chuki. Main isko yahi samjha rahi thi ki sabki aadatein itni na bigade ki kal ko unke sath sath hume bhi pareshani ho. Saaf-safaai karwane ke sath kapde aur khana tak kar diya is ladki ne akele. Kal subah 4 baje ki uthi hui hai.", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Rameshwar ji ne bade he sneh se Komal ke sar pe hath firate hue kaha.
"Thanedarni ji aap hum teeno ke liye chai he bana lo. Itne main meri is Annapurna ki khabar he le lu.", Kaushalya ji apne pita aur pauti ke sneh ko dekh muskurati hui khadi ho gayi. Komal khud ye karna chahti thi lekin apne dada ji ki baat par gor karte hue wo unhe prashanvachak nigah se he dekhne lagi. Kaushalya ji ke jaate he unhone wo file Komal ke saamne kar di. Hare gatte ki file khol kar Komal ne pehle toh un stamp paper ko sarsari nigah se dekha aur uske baad bina kuch kahe wo agle 2 page padhne lagi.
"Mujhe kya karna hai isme dada ji? Waise is par mere signature nahi hai aur iske baare me toh mujhe aapne ya daadi ne bhi nahi bataya.", Komal ne file ko bister par ek taraf rakh diya tha jaise wo filhal har baat ko atche se jaan sake.
"Pehle caretaker tumhari maa aur chachi thi is sabki. Tumhari chachi ne ye aage Priyanka ko waris banaya jab Arjun ne mana kiya aur baad me Arjun maan gaya toh usko. Aisa he Rekha bahu ne kiya tumhare aur Ritu ke kehne par. Lekin is bailbudhi ne ye nayi will tayaar karwa di apne bhai aur mujhe jhanse me le kar. Rupali ki taraf bhi usne aisa he kiya hai jisme filhal toh sabkuch Arjun he dekh raha hai lekin kanooni haq saari jameen-jayedad ka sirf aur sirf tumhare naam hai. Main chahta hu ki tum ye 10 pratishat ka labh Anjali bitiya ke naam kar do is Narinder wali taraf ka. Power of attorney tumhare he naam hai jabtak Arjun 21 ka nahi ho jata.", Yaha Rameshwar ji ne Roshni-Raman ki bitiya ka naam liya toh Komal ko jaise halki si uljhan hui par usne jara bhi jaahir na kiya.
"Mujhe kyun aitraaj hoga bhala dada ji? Waise bhi mujhe is sabme koyi interest nahi hai. Arjun ne toh mujhse poocha tak nahi aisa karwane se pehle aur mujhe pata bhi abhi lag raha hai. Bataye kaha sign karne hai?"
"File ke aakhir me 2 aur page hai. Unhe atche se padh lo sign karne se pehle. Ab Arjun ne aisa kyun kiya hai ye toh wahi bata sakta hai. Usne mana nahi kiya sab sambhalne se aur wo dhyaan deta hai har baat par. Sabke account me time se unka hissa dena aur jaha bhi kisi ko jarurat ho toh waha apni taraf se badha dena. Koyi naya bhagidar judta hai toh Arjun khud he usko ek uchit hissa pradaan karta hai.", Rameshwar ji baat karte hue ye bhi dekh rahe the ki Komal kaise bina koyi sawaal kiye lekin bade dhyaan se un panno ko jaanch rahi thi. Padhne ke baad usne aage palta toh waha bhi ek naya kaagaj tha.
"Yaha toh Radhika Dutt likha hai dada ji. Matlab bhabhi ko bhi Arjun ne .."
"Nahi nahi beta. Wo kagaj toh naam me badlaav aur yaha ke pariwar me shamil karne ke liye hai. Radhika ab is ghar ki sadasya hai na toh lage hath maine ye kaagaj bhi tayaar karwa liye. Haan ek sign yaha peeche khali panne par bhi kar do. Waise tumne ye nahi poocha beti ki hum aisa kyun kar rahe hai? Kyun Roshni aur Anjali ko hum idhar se hissedari de rahe hai jabki tumhare chote dada ke pas bhi sampatti hai aur Roshni ke pati alag jayedad hogi.", Rameshwar ji aadatan aise sawaal kar he lete the lekin yaha unke saamne Sanjiv ya Arjun na the. Ye Komal thi jo be-wajah sawaal nahi karti thi. Aur agar wo karti toh sawaal ummeed se kahi jyada he bade hote.
"Wo bhi pariwar ke sadasya hai dada ji aur aapne aisa fainsla liya hai toh jarur wajah hogi he. Jab aapke hath kisi ki madad kar sake us vyakti ke bure samay me toh is se badh kar insaaniyat kya hogi. Waise bhi yaha hum sabko aapne jarurat se jyada he diya hai, apne liye kuch na rakhte hue.", Rameshwar ji gadgad ho chuke the apni is sushil pauti ke jawaab se aur Kaushalya ji bhi chai le kar yaha aa chuki thi.
"Inke pas fir bhi bahot hai beti. 25 hajaar se jyada toh inki pension aati hai aur PF par toh byaaj bhi wasool rahe hai ye bank se. Lekin teri baat bhi thik hai ki jab apne hath me 2 roti ho toh agar hum ek kisi jaruratmand ko de bhi de toh wo ek roti hamare liye 2 ke barabar he rahegi. Chai pee kar tu araam kar le, fir khaane ke baad ye log toh gappe hankne me lage rahenge lekin tu Arjun ko market le jana. Mahine bhar ke liye wo jaane wala hai toh garmi ke hisaab se uske liye sahi kapde kharid lena. Aur uski khurak badalni hai toh wo parchi bhi main tumhe de dungi. Teri chachi aur taai ab tayaar hai toh jo thoda bahot kaam bach gaya wo unhe karne de. Pichli taraf wale kamre se agar 3 4 baje ke pehle tu bahar dikhi toh fer soch liyo.", Kaushalya ji ne ye pyaar bhari ghudki dete hue ek cup chai ka apne pati ki taraf badha diya. Komal bhi file ek taraf rakh chai ka aananad lene lagi. Sawaal Pandit ji ke mann me bhi the aur Komal ke bhi lekin ye dono he dridh mastishk insaan khud pehal nahi karne wale the.

Madhuri lagbhag 10 baje he apne sasural pahuch gayi thi. Abhishek ji ke sath darjan bhar caro me khaas baraati bhi yaha tak aaye the. Waise toh inke yaha sirf 4 he log the jisme se ek Shilpa ji ka shishu aur hafte me 5 din bahar rehne wala Gorav. Lekin is bade ghar ki dekhrekh Abhishek ji ke 2 vishwaspatra aur unki 19 varshiya santaan poore dil se karte the. Mukhya imarat me kuch jyada he bade aangan ke baad 2 manjilo par kul 8 kamre, 2 bade hall, ek rasoi aur lagbhag har kamre se juda bathroom tha. Ghar ki dekhbhal aur Shilpa ji ki madad ke liye hamesha uplabdh rehne wali Nepali mool ki Barsha Thapa (37) thi aur ghar ke sath bahar ke kaam ke liye uska mehnati evam saral swabhav pati Pashupati Thapa (40). Inki eklauti santaan Kiran Thapa (19), snatak ke pratham varsh imtihaan de chuki thi aur padhai ke sath sath wo apni maa aur Shilpa ji ki uchit madad karti thi.
"Choti memsaab toh bilkul chaand hai Abhishek babu. Sach kehti thi Shilpa memsaab ki Gorav babu ki kismat he tej hai. Aaiye dulhan ji aur apne daahine paanv se kalash palat kar kadam rakhiye apne ghar me. Bhagwan sukh-samridhi banaye rakhe.", Aarti ka thaal liye Barsha ne dwaar par he Gorav aur Madhuri ki nazar utari. Taamra-kalash me bhare chawal bikher Madhuri ne apne kadam bhitar rakhe toh pehle se maujood darjan bhar mehmaano ne phool aur chawal barsate hue dono ka swagat kiya. Lekin iske sath sath Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ke sar se shagun vaar kar Barsha ko dete hue ulahana bhi diya.
"Kitne baar kahe aapse Barsha ki humko memsaab mat kaha kijiye. Abhishek aapke liye babu hai wo thik lekin hume aap didi kehti hai wahi kahiye. Aur wo natkhat Gungun kaha hai? Ab tabiyat thik hai uski?", Shilpa ji apne rishteydaro aur devar-devrani ko liye aangan me aayi toh Pashupati ne pehle he sabke baithne aur nashte ka intjaam kar rakha tha. 3 lakdi ke table par thande paani aur sharbat ke gilas saje the kuch mishthaan aur phal-namkeen ke sath. Aangan me chhaya ke liye waise toh aam ke 2 vriksh paryapt the lekin shaadi wale ghar me lagne wala laal shamiana bhi bharpoor chhaya banaye tha. Rasoi se chai-coffee ki tray liye ye ujle salwar kameej me jarurat se jyada he gori yuvti in logo ko dekh wo tray pas wale table par rakh lagbhag daudti hui Shilpa ji ke paas aa gayi.
"Bhabhi aap ne mera intjaar bhi nahi kiya? Maa aap toh bolna bhi mat ab mere sath. Awaaj toh laga sakti thi ki chhoti bhabhi ghar aa gayi hai?", Takriban 5 feet ki ye ladki jis tarah se adhikar jata rahi thi wo dekh Abhishek ji aur Shilpa ji ke chehre par thakaan ke bawjood aseem khushi thi.
"Tujhe dhoop lag jaati na Gungun isliye maine he mana kiya tha. Ab dekh tere saamne hai teri nayi bhabhi aur Gorav se neg bhi le le teri marji ka.", Abhishek ji ne sabhi mehmano ko baithne ki gujarish karne ke sath sath is ladki ke bhi sar ko laad se sehlate hue kaha.
"Neg nahi chahiye Abhishek bhaiya. Bukhar ki wajah se pehle he main shaadi me na ja saki aur fir nayi bhabhi ke sath gate pe pehli photo bhi khinchne se reh gayi. Atcha toh aap na abhi mere sath aao nayi bhabhi aur Gorav bhaiya aap bhi aa sakte ho.", Ye ladki lagbhag Madhuri ka hath khinchte hue usko wapis he le ja rahi thi aur Shilpa ji bhi hanste hue apne devar ko unke peeche le gayi. Baraat ke sath gaye photographer ka camera khud he Abhishek ji ne utha liya kyonki wo vyakti hath mooh dhone ke baad abhi paani peene laga tha.
"Bhaiya ji ye ladki toh pagal hai aur aap isko daantne ki jagah iski baat maan rahe ho.?", Pashupati gamche se apna chehra saaf karta hua ghar ke maalik ki bagal me he chal raha tha.
"Pashupati ji, jab aapko bhi pata hai ki Kiran hamare liye ghar ki pehli bachi hai toh ye toka toki mat he kijiye. Aap mehmano ko dekhiye aur hum jara is shaitaan ki tasiveer khinch le. Shukar hai ki ye itne me he maan rahi hai.", Lekin Abhishek ji ki soch he galat nikli jab Kiran ne ek ya 2 nahi lagbhag darjan photo utarwaai aur baad me toh apne maa-baap ko bhi shamil kiya jab photographer khud he idhar chala aaya. Aas-pados ke log dono dulha-dulhan ko shagun ke sath shubhkamnaye dene ke baad nashta karne lage the aur Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ka parichaya karwaya.
"Ye Barsha didi hai jo hamare ghar ko ghar banaye rakhti hai, bina humse koyi mehnat karwaye aur ye hamari laadli hai Gungun. Waise toh iska naam Kiran hai lekin har waqt bas ye filmy gaane gungunati rehti hai jis wajah se tumhare jeth ji ne iska naam he Gungun rakh diya. Gorav aur inke liye Gungun he ghar ki beti aur inki behan hai. Abhishek jab bhi ghar hote hai toh unki subah ki chai hamesha yahi banati hai. Aur Gungun abse tumhe apni nayi bhabhi ka poora dhyaan rakhna hai.", Madhuri ne bhi bade saleeke se Kiran ko apne sath laga kar prem darshaya.
"Wo toh sab thik hai lekin aap toh neg ke baare me kuch keh rahi thi? Main nayi bhabhi ko apne sath he le jaungi market toh wahi se aap mujhe Rani Mukherji wali jeans dilwa dena. College me bahot si ladkiyan pehanti hai lekin maa toh mujhe salwar kameej ke alawa kuch dilwati he nahi.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Madhuri ke chehre par bhi muskaan aa gayi. Abhishek ji ne beech me dakhal dete hue kaha.
"Abhi tumhari nayi bhabhi ko araam karne ke liye unke kamre me le jao Gungun. Hum khud he kal sabko market le chalenge. Jo dil kare wo le lena aur tumhari maa bhi nahi tokegi. Gorav tum bhi thoda araam kar lo.", Baat bhi sahi thi jo saari raat shaadi me vyast hone ke baad 4-5 ghante ka safar aur idhar ghanta bhar mehmano ke sath lagane ke baad sharir ko araam ki sakht jarurat thi. Gungun urf Kiran turant he apni maa ko aankh chidhati hui Madhuri ko liye pehli manzil par badh chali. Kamre niche bhi the lekin Gorav hamesha se he upar wali manzil par akela rehta tha. Pehle kamre ko paar karke dono agle kamre me dakhil hone lagi toh Kiran ne he bataya.
"Bhabhi, ye pehle wala kamra bhi Gorav bhaiya ka he hai lekin usme sirf kitabe he kitabe hai. Wo toh chutti par bhi aate hai toh din bhar kitabo me lage rehte hai. Haan thoda khelne bhi jaate hai club me lekin jyadatar computer ya kitabe. Ye kamra bada hai jo ab aapka hai. Isko maine he sajaya hai aur subah jo gaadi aayi thi us se samaan nikaal kar main in dono almaari me laga chuki hu. Haan ye aapke chain wale bag maine nahi khole kyunki ye aapka jaruri samaan hoga.", Madhuri ke ghar se dahej chahe na bhi aaya ho lekin uphaar aur baaki sab samaan pehle he pauch chuka tha. Kiran ki mehnat aur is saaf suthre bade kamre ko dekh Madhuri sehajta se muskuraai.
"Ye meri taraf se neg samajh kar rakh lo Gungun. Ghar me sabse chhoti tumhi ho toh mana matt karna. Aur idhar bathroom hai?", Madhuri ne niche mile shagun ke darjan lifafe bina jaanche he Kiran ke hawale kar diye the jo wo badi hairaani se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ne bathroom dekha toh wo lagbhag ek kamre jitna he bada tha aur bilkul saaf. Jaise wo aajkal me he banaya gaya ho ya aadhunik samaan usme lagwa kar durust kiya ho. Aisa bathroom unke ghar bhi tha lekin ye wala toh kamre ke bheetar uska neeji tha.
"Aapne dekha bhi hai bhabhi ke ye kitne rupaye honge? Maa mujhe bahot maaregi aur ye shagun aapke hai toh aap he rakhiye."
"Shilpa didi ko bata dena ki ye maine apni marji se tumhe diye hai. Wo sambhal lengi apne aap. Aur ye kitne hai is se kya farak padta hai? Tumhare kaam he aayenge toh samjhdari se prayog karna. Ab tum ijajat do toh kya main fresh ho kar thoda araam kar lu?", Madhuri abhi tak un bhari vastro me thi aur Gungun usko pasine me dekh apne sar pe hath marti hui remote ki taraf lapki.
"Ye Aircondition chalana bhi yaad nahi raha. Haan aap fresh ho kar araam kijiye. Waise bhi yaha jyada log nahi aate toh aapko pareshani nahi hogi. Gorav bhaiya bhi aa gaye shayad.", Kiran ne kadmo ki aahat sunn li thi jo bilkul sahi thi. Par Gorav akela nahi aaya tha. Uske sath Shilpa ji bhi thi jo apne bete ko niche sula kar aayi thi.
"Badi bhabhi ye nayi bhabhi ne apne aap he mujhe diye hai. Unhone dekha bhi nahi ki ye kitne hai. Maine lene se mana kiya tha.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Shilpa ji ne uska gaal khinchte hue kaha.
"Rakh le jab diye hai toh. Aur kitne hai ye toh tu he dekh jab tujhe diye hai. Bank me dalwa liyo agar jyada ho toh. Chal ab ja ke araam kar tu bhi. Bukhaar utra nahi ki teri masti shuru ho gayi. Madhuri, tumhe kuch bhi chahiye ho toh..Mujhse mat kehna. Ye ghar tumhara bhi hai toh kisi ko bhi bol sakti ho. Aur jaise dil kare waise rehna. Yaha koyi panchayti raaj nahi hai. Gorav, tum bhi kapde badal kar araam kar lo. Phir shaam ko dinner par inke kuch friends aane wale hai tum dono se milne. Madhuri, tumhara sab samaan Kiran ne laga diya hai Barsha ke sath mil kar. Dekh lena.", Shilpa jis tarah se muskura kar wapis gayi thi us par Madhuri ki toh najar nahi padi lekin Gorav jarur jhemp gaya. Phir wo bhi diwar me bani un almari ki taraf badhte hue bola.
"Madhuri, main bagal wale kamre me nahane ja raha hu. Tum chaho toh kamra band kar sakti ho."
"Aap naha ke aa jaiye aur darwaja bahar se he laga dijiyega. Ye aapka bhi kamra hai.", Madhuri ne Gorav se pehle he almari khol kar saleeke se lage Gorav ke kapdo se ek kurta-pyjama, toliya nikal kar najre jhukaye he uski aur badha diya. Gorav ke gambhir chehre par halki si muskaan aayi thi ye dekh ki abhi Madhuri ko aaye chand ghante he hue hai aur wo patni wale karya karne lagi hai.
"Wo mere underwears main khud le leta hu.", Gorav aage badha toh almari ke dono pallo ke beech ab wo Madhuri ke sharir se bilkul satt kar ek daraaj se katcha-baniyaan nikalne laga. Na chahte hue bhi dono ke sharir me halka gharshan hua tha aur Madhuri ka wo vishal ubhaar ek taraf se Gorav ki kohni ko chho gaya. Madhuri ko abhi tak apne jism par sirf Arjun ka he sparsh anubhav tha lekin Gorav uska pati tha jo ek tarah se jiwanbhar ab uske sath bister sanjha karne wala tha. Chehre par halki si laali aur sharam aa he gayi thi is sparsh se. Gorav ko jab uske wo kapde na mile toh Madhuri ne jhuk kar bagal wali daraaj ko dekha. Ab dono miya biwi ek jaisi mudra me the aur Gorav toh sab bhool kar bas us kudrat ke hunar ko nihar raha tha. Madhuri ke chikne bhare bhare gaal, chehre par khaas chamak ke sath naak me bali aur gaal se latakti wo baalo ki ghumavdar latt. Madhuri ne dono vastra nikal liye toh najre aapas me takraai. Gorav hichkichata hua palat kar seedha ho gaya.
"Thank you."
"Welcome.", Madhuri ke jawaab ko sunn kar wo jaane se pehle achanak he uske gaal ko sehla kar kamre se nikal gaya. Wo bhi Gorav ki is harkat par kuch pal hairaan hui fir sar jhatakte hue boli.
'Khud he keh rahe the ki tum shaadi se mana kar do aur ab janaab ke chehre ki khushi kal se kuch aur bata rahi hai.', Madhuri apne kapde bhi le kar us bathroom me ghus gayi. Araam karne se pehle naha lena jaruri tha. Aur jabtak wo bathroom se naha kar salwar kameej me kamre me aayi darwaja band he tha lekin bister par Gorav jarur karwat ke bal leta dikha. Shayad wo thakne ki wajah se jald he so gaya tha jaisa Madhuri ko prateet hua. Aaine me khud ko sanwarne ke baad usne pehle Gorav ko chaadar di kamre me thandak ki wajah se aur fir khud bhi ek taraf ke khali hisse me Gorav ki taraf peeth karke leit gayi. Nayi jagah aur apne bhare-poore pariwar se dur Madhuri ko ab is bister par neend nahi aa rahi thi. Bagal me soya vyakti bas aaj he toh zindagi me aaya tha aur aise dhero vichar liye Madhuri ne 3-4 baar karwat li.
"Tum thik ho na Madhuri? Jaanta hu ke tumhe andar he andar ye ajeeb lag raha hoga. Ek naya pariwar aur upar se ghar se dur. Maa ji (Lalita) ne bataya tha ke tum apne jiwan me kabhi bhi ghar se dur nahi rahi ho. Waha hain bhi toh dher saare behan bhai jinke bina tumhe aisa lagna jayaj bhi hai. Jiwan me bahot kuch pehli baar he hota hai Madhuri aur jaruri nahi ke wo bura he ho. Dhire dhire se he sahi lekin kadam badhane se hum ek waisa he sansaar bana sakte hai. Apna sansaar, jaisa tumhe pasand hai.", Gorav ne aisa kehte hue Madhuri ke sar ko halke hatho se sehlaya toh wo badi badi aankhon se ab pehli baar is vyakti ko gor se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ko yu khamosh khud ki taraf dekhta pa kar Gorav ne haami bhari.
"Main tayaar nahi tha Madhuri jaisa maine pehli mulakaat par bataya tha tumhe ki tum mana kar do. Bhaiya ne apne liye kabhi kuch nahi kiya aur shaadi hone baad bhi unki prathmikta sirf main aur hamare pita ka khoya naam wapis banana he the. Mujhe kabil banane ke liye unhone kabhi khud par dhyaan nahi diya aur jab unhone chaha ki ye ghar aur bhi pahle-phule toh maine ek aashanka ki wajah se tumhe wo kaha tha. Mujhe darr tha ki kahi meri wajah se tumhara jiwan bematlab me na kharaab ho. Par main galat tha Madhuri. Pariwar badhne se samsyaye khatam hoti hai aur ekakipan sirf khud ko tasalli dena bhar hai. Sabhi khush the is shaadi me jabki unhe toh kuch mil bhi nahi raha tha. Wo naseebwala main tha jiske liye sabhi khush the aur mujhe tum mili ho. Sapno pe kaam karna toh nahi rokunga lekin tumhe bhi shikayat nahi hone dunga. Mujhse pehle is ghar ko tumhari jarurat hai. Bhabhi ko tumhari jarurat hai Madhuri aur sabko. Itminaan se bas araam karo aur ye khayaal nikal do apne dil se ki tum nayi jagah ho. Ye tumhari jagah hai.", Gorav ne jis tarah se lagatar sar sehlate hue Madhuri se apne jajbaat jaahir kiye the wo kuch sarak kar apne pati ke kareeb ho gayi. Iske baad kuch jyada baat na hui dono me aur is baar Madhuri bhi chain se so gayi. Goarav ne beech me thoda fansla fir barkarar kiya aur usko bhi jyada samay na laga.

Shankar ghar se toh hospital me kaam ka bol kar nikle the lekin ye jagah kisi bhi surat me hospital jaisi nahi thi. Shehar ke agle bypass par bana ye aalishan hotel aur uske bahar se bhitar tak ki ati-vishisht suraksha kuch aur he kahani bayaan karti thi. Yaha is samay me kisi bhi rahgir ko rukne ki saaf manahi thi aur wajah saaf thi. Hotel me pravesh karte he kuch mehngi caro ka kafila aur unke beech wo ekmatra sadharan esteem car. Ye vyaktitva apne aap me ek he tha aur wo tha Dr Shankar Sharma. Hotel me aaj ye mehtvapurn mulakaat is bade hall me ho rahi thi jaha kisi waiter tak ko jaane ki manahi thi. Service ka bhaar bhi suraksh dekhne walo par he tha. 23-24 log is hall me maujood the jinme se sirf 3 he yaha se sambandh rakhte the. Dr Shankar, Dr Dharamvir Sangwan aur Delhi se padhare Shriman Raunaklal. Baaki 20 logo me se jyadatar coat-pant pehne manager jaise ya karobari the aur sirf 3 log thik in teeno ke saamne. Ek hatta katta 35 barash ka pehalwan sa yuvak jiske gaal kashimiri seb se laal aur sharir daitya sa. Dusra gambhir, mehngi safed kameej pehne darmiyane se kad ka ghungrale baal wala lekin sabse robila adhed aur unke beech baitha wo 55-60 baras ka ek sant-bheshbhusha wala lekin inka mukhiya. Gale me rudraaksh ki mala, hath me sone ki janjire aur sharir fakk safed varstro me.
"Ye Raunaklal jis marji sarkaar me ho lekin isko hamari taqat ka atche se pata hai. Aur tum Dharamvir Sangwan, kehne ko toh is Shankar ke shikshak ho aur kuch chhote mote hospital ke maalik lekin bewajah bahot si jagah tum apni taang adaane se baaj nahi aate. Khair tum bhi yaha isliye bulaye gaye ho ki Delhi aur uske najdeek hamare 5 hospital me apni sewa de sako. Jagah hamari hogi, paisa Raunaklal aur tum barabar lagaoge. Haan ye Gajendra Bhalla jaise chhuttbhaiya ke sath kaam tum dono nahi karoge.", Us adhed se ghungrale baalo walo ne cigar ko jalane se pehle thoda mooh me daba kar toda aur fir jalane ke baad apni baat kahi. Jinhe wo naam se pukar raha tha wo dono he uske baap ki umar ke the. Is vyakti ka naam tha Suryavir Singh Rana, S.V. group of companies ka maalik aur desh videsh me khaase rasookh wala. Shankar iski baat ko darkinaar karte hue itminaan se kaali coffee ki chuskiyan le raha tha.
"Mere pas 10 hospital hai Rana aur mujhe nahi lagta ki mujhe filhal koyi naya kaam shuru karna chahiye.", Dharamvir Sangwan ke itne se jawaab par wo hatta katta sa aadmi nakhush dikha lekin Rana ne ishare se usko khamosh he rakha.
"Waise toh tumhari ye baat mere bhai ko nagawar gujri hai Dharavir lekin chalo tumhari ye pehli gustakhi hai aur doctor ke sath tum ek shikshak bhi rahe ho isliye main tumhe maaf karta hu. Wo 10 hospital he toh tum hamare sath mila rahe ho. Unme se 5 hum band karenge aur baaki pahcho par paisa laga kar wo aalishan imarat tayaar karenge ki poore uttar bharat me phir unke samaan koyi hospital na hoga. Tumse kuch paisa waisa nahi le rahe aur na tumhari hasiyat hai ki trucko ke hisaab se tum hamara khajana bhar sako. Raunaklal, tumne samjhaya nahi tha kya isko? Mere har minute ki keemat 5 lakh hai.", Rana ke chehre par koyi gussa na tha lekin awaaj bata rahi thi ki usko guroor bhi tha aur wo taqatwar bhi.
"Fainsle Dharamvir bhai sahab nahi lete Rana sahab. Shankar he adhikarik maalik hai share ke hisaab se aur Gajendra Bhalla ke sath Delhi me naye vypaar ka bada bhagidar bhi. Kaha kaam karna hai, kya kaam karna hai aur kiske sath karna hai ye sirf Shankar he taye karta hai aur agar Shankar uplabdh na ho toh Umed Singh.", Raunaklal Delhi me rasookhwala tha lekin yaha toh wo bhi is aadmi ko 'ji' ke sath sambodhit kar raha tha. Shankar abhi bhi diary par kuch likhta hua wo kali coffee me laga raha.
"Shankar. Dr Shankar Sharma suputra Rameshwar Sharma. Iska baap police afsar tha jo ab retired hai? 3 bhai aur ek behan. Patni se 3 aulaad jinme sabse chota ek ladka baaki dono ladkiyan. Chhota mota gunda bhi hai ye safed kapdo ke peeche lekin isko itni bhi kya ehmiyat de rakhi hai Dharamvir jo ye maalik bana hua hai? Aur Raunaklal, tum toh jaante ho mere bhai ke saamne sabhi gundo ki patloon kaise gili ho jaati hai. Ye chhote mote shehar wale bas gali mohalle me apne baap ke naam par 2-3 ke hath paanv todd kar raub jama lete hai. Yaha saamne wala awaaj baad me karta hai, pehle uske maathe ke beech bindi bann jaati hai.", Rana jaise bol raha tha uske darjan bhar coat-pant pehne wo chaddam gunde daant dikhane lage.
"21 minute hue hai aur is hisaab se tumhari nautanki ke hue 85 lakh. Ye toh kuch jyada he ho gaye lekin chalo tum yaha aaye ho toh khali hath toh nahi bhejunga tumhe. Ye cheque bana diya hai maine aur agar tumhe isko bhunane me koyi pareshani hai toh meri gaadi me ek crore pada hai.", Shankar pen aur cheque liye maje se tehalta hua table ke dusri taraf un teeno ke peeche ja ruka lekin uski jubaan sunn kar Rana ka chehra laal ho chuka tha. Uska wo pehalwan gunda bhai bhi akad kar kuch kehne he laga tha lekin us se pehle Shankar ne wo cheque Rana ke mooh par de mara aur pen us pehalwan ke kandhe me, jo shayad mehnga tha ispaat se bana hua. Lagbhag aadha pen us gainde jaise aadmi ke kandhe ki nichli haddi ke barabar se sharir me ghuss chuka tha. Koyi bhi harkat me aata us se pehle Shankar ka pasandida hathiyar is haal me chamak raha tha jo Rana ke bhai ke gale par tika tha.
"Randi ki aulaad saale yaha ek chutiya gandmare ko apna swami bana kar aa pahuche. Aur inhe lagta hai ki 5000 crore ki dalali karke ye maadarchod kisi ke bhi sar par mootne lagenge. Aye Raunaklal uncle. Inhe bataya nahi tha kya ke meri fees kya hai?", Shankar ne pen wala hath hata liya tha lekin uski kohni ki giraft itni majboot thi ki wo gainda tass se mass na ho saka.
"Tum kar kya rahe ho? Virendra ko chhod do aur hum tumhari saja kam kar denge.", Rana ke sath sath uski bagal me baithe bujurg ko bhi is vatanukalit hall me paseene aa chuke the. Shankar ne cigrattee nikal kar ek hath se he pehle mooh par lagaai aur fir usi hath se lighter jala kar sulga li. Table ke saamne baithe Sangwan ji aur Raunaklal muskura rahe the.
"3 baatein bata deta hu main tumhe Rana. Ek toh ye ki agar Shankar ne apni fees kabhi bataai hai toh mareej zinda nahi bacha lekin ye fees le kar rehta hai. Dusri baat, inke pita ke naam ke sath Pandit ji lagao ya kam se kam ji toh laga he lo aur shikshak bhi iske liye pita samaan hai toh ye unka kabhi anadar nahi hone deta. Aksar aise logo ki ye kalam pakadne wali ungli aur angootha kaat deta hai. Lekin tum nischint raho kyonki ye ghar aaye logo ki pehli baar me jaan nahi leta. Aur teesri baat jo ki tumhe sabse jyada yaad rakhni chahiye thi, galti se bhi lakkadbaggo ke jhund ko shero ki maand me nahi ghusna chahiye. Shankar akela he sher nahi hai idhar lekin yahi akela tumhari maand me ghuss kar har pille ki saans rok dega.", Dr Dharamvir Sangwan apni jagah se uth kar khade ho gaye the. Rana ko wo majboot sa bhai ladkhada raha tha kamjor pakad aur behte hue khoon ki wajah se. Shankar ke sharir ko dekh kar Rana ne uska aankalan bahot galat he lagaya tha. Lekin guroor fir bhi thoda bhari ha us par.
"Dekh rahe ho Dharamvir yaha kitne log hai? Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar aur maafi maang lo. Main jarurat se jyada dayavaan hu toh tumhe saja me sirf itna he karna hoga ki kabhi bhi Delhi ka rukh matt karna. Aur haan Raunaklal, tumhe ab dugni penalty lagegi.", Rana andar he andar apne bhai ki haalat dekh tilmila raha tha aur uske kareeb baitha wo bujurg uske kaan me kuch kehne ki koshshi karna chahta tha lekin is mahol me jaise sabka dhyaan Shankar par he tha.
"Ye milawat wala beej hai chacha, na sudharne wala. Waise tum Delhi ki baat kar rahe the na Rana toh saja sunn lo. Delhi me najar matt aana aainda kyonki main aaj he shaam Delhi ke liye nikalne wala hu. Jisko tum gundo ka shehjada bata rahe ho ye ladkiyon wala powder khila kar bada kiya hai tumne, isko main apne paas he rakhunga. Haan iska dhadd le kar ja sakte ho jab tumhare ye baaki lakadbagghe is hotel se 10 kos dur ja chuke ho.", Shankar ne thaan liya tha ke wo is pehalwan ko zinda nahi chhodne wala.
"Shankar Virendra ko zinda jaane do. Baat badh sakti hai. Rana ke pita.."
"Raunaklal ji, is gandmare ke baap pita aur mere papa? Unhone hamesha sikhaya hai ke apni ijjatt apne hath. Aap kya chahte ho main apne karam se na-insaafi karke ye operation blade wapis jeb me rakh lu.?", Ab Raunaklal ke sath sath Rana aur us bujurg ke bhi gotte mooh me aa gaye the. Shankar ka chehra tamtama raha tha aur us blade ki pakad jyada majboot dikhne lagi.
"Baat yahi khatam karte hai aur iske badle hum ek aur meeting rakhenge. Is taraf ki Delhi tumhari aur udhar ki hamari. Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar nahi toh yaha se koyi bhi zinda nahi jaane wala. Main apni baat ka pakka hu aur aaj pehli baar saamne wali ki baat maan raha hu. Mere bhai ko chhod do..", Rana na uth pa raha tha aur na he wo apne aadmiyon ko aadesh de saka. Shankar sirf Dharamvir ji ko he dekh raha tha jo muskurate hue khamoshi se is manjar ko jehan me sametne lage.
"Wo aisa hai Rana ki Shankar mera sabse kabil beta hai isliye ye akela 40 pratishat ka maalik hai aur mere baaki teen lafange 60% ke barabar bhagidar. Tum soch rahe ho ke bahar tumhari suraksha hai lekin wo tumhari soch hai. Ab waha sirf hum hai aur jo ye naumne garmi me bhi coat pant pehne baithe hai ya toh ye yaha se khamoshi se nikal jaaye nahi toh wo log andar aaye toh main Raunaklal ki baat se bhi ittefaaq nahi rakhne wala. Delhi me ab 5 hospital banenge aur wo sabhi tumhari jagah par jisme tumhara koyi hissa nahi hone wala kyonki tum na toh idhar ki taraf dikhoge aur na he udhar ki taraf. Ye kaagaz hai tumhari un jagah ke aur ye NOC hai. Keemat tumhari zindagi. Sign kar do.", Sangwan ji ne file aise khiskaai thi ki wo seedha Rana ke saamne ja ruki. Wo toh hairaan sa apni he jameen ke kaagaj dekh raha tha jinke sahi sahi kaagaj ye log pehle se he liye the.
"Aise kya dekh raha hai bhosdike? Mera bhai pehle pehle kaagaj banwata hai fir uske maalik ko bulwata hai. Shukar kar Inder yaha nahi aaya. Chal pen chala nahi toh..", Shankar ne itna kehne ke sath blade ka dabaav banaya toh Virendra Rana ke gale se patli se khoon ki dhaar risne lagi aur hall me dakhil hue Bhuppi, Deepak, Daleep aur Rajesh ke sath 4 log. Sabhi ke hath me swachalit tamanche chamak rahe the muskurahat ke sath.
"Matlab Raunaklal, tumne ye jaal bichhaya tha?"
"Bhosdike maine bola na mere bhai ne kiya tha ye sab. Usko Punjab me maja nahi aa raha tha aur main sarkari doctor hu isliye Delhi me kya karunga.? Haan un dono ko Delhi chahiye thi aur ye 100-200 crore wale kaam nahi karne the. Is chakkar me Sangwan chacha ne bola ke unhe ab kuch bade hospita bhi waha banane padenge toh tujhse milne aa gaye. Tu harek ko chutiya samajh raha tha aur yahi tujhse galti ho gay. Chal sign kar aur nikal. Iske badle main sachmuch tere bhai ko sabut saunp dunga.", Baaki sabhi ko Daleep and party ne ek ek karke chalta kar diya tha. Shankar ki baahon me Virendra toh kabka behosh he ho chuka tha jiski haalat dekh Rana ne bina dekhe sabhi kagajo par lagatar hastakshar kar diye.
"Mere bhai ko chhod do aur main Delhi se dur rahunga."
"Wo toh tu rahega he lekin tera baap.. Sorry tumhare aadarniya pita ji thode dheeth hai. Tum mujhe meri kundli aadhi adhuri bata rahe the na toh us se pehle jara apne pita ji se mere papa ke baare me pooch lete. Vir Singh Rana ki patloon geeli ho jaati us naam se agar tumne Pandit ji bol diya hota toh. Aye Deepak, is swami ke thik beech me goli maar. Swarg se pehle ye ruka na toh tujhe dekhne ke liye peeche bhejunga.", Shankar ki garjana khatam bhi nahi hui thi ki silencer lagi pistol se bas pitt ki awaaj aayi aur wo rudrakshdhari Swami kursi par ludhak gaya. Khoon ke chhinte Rana ke chehre par bhi gire the jis se wo seham kar hairat se sabko dekh raha tha. Shankar ne Rana ke bhai ka sharir jameen par girate hue swami ki gardan utha kar bade he gor se wo goli ka nishaan dekha jaha se khoon behta hua table ko bhigo raha tha.
"Ye swarg se bhi aage gaya beta. Tu toh champion ho gaya Deepak center point ka. Chal Rana tujhe main poore 5 minute de raha hu aur agar utni der me tu apne bhai ko le kar yaha se nikal gaya toh tum dono zinda rahoge nahi toh gate yaha se 250 gaj dur hai aur tumhari laash is sarhad me he kisi bagiche me dafan milegi.", Shankar ki baat sunn kar Rana ne pehle toh hall ko dekha jaha ab uska koyi bhi aadmi nahi tha lekin yaha jitne the sabke hatho me hathiyar. Uska bhai jo sharir me us se dugna tha wo murchhit pada tha. Rana ne jaise taise usko uthane ki bharpoor koshish ki lekin sawa 100 kilo se jyada ka wo pehalwan tass se mass na hua. Rana ke chehre se pasina paani ki tarah farsh par jaldi he girne laga aur samay teji se kam hota gaya.
"2 minute", Daleep ke itna kehte he Rana ne apne bhai ko wahi chhoda aur bahar ki taraf daud laga di.
"Jaane doge isko Shankar?"
"Haan chacha isko toh jaane he dunga. Abhi toh ye bahot kaam aane wala hai jaisa Inder ne kaha tha. Ye Virendra ko apne kabje me rakhna hai hume isliye mujhe aisa karna pada. Bhuppi iski atche se khaatir karna aur jo bhi chahiye ho wo muhaiyya karwana. Aapne atcha kaam kiya Raunaklal uncle aur baaki sab ne bhi.", Shankar ne paani ki bottle utha kar ek lamba ghoont bhara toh uske kareeb aa khade hue Dharamvir ji ne bade he sneh se kandha thapthapaya.
"Aaj pehli baar dekha ke mera Shankar shikaar karne ka riwaaj seekh raha hai. Mujhe toh laga tha yaha 20-25 laash girne wali hai lekin wo hero shayad kuch badal sa gaya.", Unki baat sunn kar Raunaklal ne bhi gardan haan me hilaai.
"Ye sahi kaha aapne bhai sahab. Mujhe bhi laga tha ke aaj inke sath sath hum log bhi swag-sidharne wale hai. Aur Shankar ki herogiri se toh khud Pandit ji bhi darte hai."
"Baat aisi hai ki mere dono bhai (Umed-Narinder) ne mujhe bataya tha yaha aane se pehle. Unka kehna tha ki jaruri nahi ki khoon bematlab bahaya jaaye agar kaam baaton se ho sakta ho toh. Us janwar ko bacha kar rakho us din ke liye jab khoon jyada bahana pade. Vir Singh Rana se Inder khud milna chahta hai wo bhi papa ki taraf se aur aise maslo ke beech Shankar kabhi nahi aata."
"Toh is swami ko kyun mara?"
"Maine mara? Main kaun hota hu chacha ji kisi ko maarne wala? Deepak tadaf raha tha rivolver liye aur mujhse ye dekha na gaya toh iske nishane ki pariksha leni chahi maine. Waise ye Sharman Muni tha, hawala wala aur iske jaane se Vir Singh Rana ke hath ab aadhe toh katt chuke hai. Ye pehli mulakaat atchi rahi Rana pariwar ke sath aur ab main ghar ja kar apne bete ko surprise dena chahta hu.", Shankar ne wo cigrattee joote ke niche daba kar bujhane ke baad apne blade aur hatheli ko paani se wahi saaf kiya.
"Toh aaj tum Arjun ke sath waqt bitane wale ho?", Rajesh ne ye kaha tha jo apne jija ke sath he aage chalne laga. Sangwan ji us file ko liye Raunaklal ko kuch samjha rahe the hanste hue aur baaki logo ne us swami ki lash ko thikane lagane ke liye ek kapde me lapet liya. Rajesh ke sath Daleep bhi tha.
"Mera beta hai Rajesh wo aur usko bhi chahat rehti hai ki main usko apni bagal me baitha kar thoda ghumau firau. Waise bhi usne mujhse apni maa ke liye bahot sawaal kiye the aur jab usne apni maa ka hath dekha toh mujhe jis tarah apne gale lagaya wo sirf main he mehsoos kar sakta hu. Ek mahine ke liye wo ghar se dur jaane wala hai. Mujhe bhi kami khalegi he uski chahe main ghar pe utna nahi rehta.", Daleep bade gor se Shankar ko dekh raha tha jo chalte hue apne bete ko yaad karke jis tarah khush tha wo sachmuch Shankar ki khaas muskaan thi, ek gehri muskaan kisi nischall pyaar ki.
"Jija maine toh aapko kabhi itne sensitive hote nahi dekha. Aur wo bas ek mahine ke liye ja raha hai jabki pehle bhi wo 8-9 saal ghar se dur raha tha. Waise atchi baat hai ki aap usko samajhte ho."
"8-9 saal nahi Rajesh 8 saal 137 din ya fir yun kahu ki 3060 din toh behtar rahega. Ye maine pehle nahi jana tha ke hum itne dur rahe hai. Kuch din pehle he maine ginti ki thi ki mera beta mujhse kitne samay dur raha. Uska mehatva mujhe thoda deri se pata chala lekin ek wahi hai jo papa ke sansaar ki neev barkaraar rakh sakta hai. Abhi yaha se jaate he main usko apne sath market le jaane wala hu. Ritu-Alka bhi jaayengi he lekin main chahta hu ki tu aur Daleep bhi mere sath chalo. Tu Rekha, Rupali, Aarti aur Komal ko le chalna. Daleep apne sath Manju, Pinki, Krishna aur Inder ko. Umed bhi tayaar milega.", Shankar ke aisa kehne par Daleep ko kuch khatka sa hua Manju ka naam sunn kar.
"Wo baaki log?"
"Jo araam karna chahte hai unhe karne de na yar aur Sanjiv ko bhi toh time dena hai. Baaki bhabhi aur Raju bhai ne behno ke sath geet he gaane hai Sanjiv Radhika ke. Main chahta hu ke kisi ko ye na lage ki wo Arjun ke sath samay nahi bita saka. Khaane ka bil aaj meri sasural ki taraf se."
"Hahaha.. jija. Meri he gaand maar li na?"
"Rajesh darling, isko gaand maarna nahi sewa ka mauka dena kehte hai. Teri he toh khushi badha raha hu main.", Shankar ki baat ka arth samajh kar Rajesh uske gale lag gaya.
"Didi ke liye."
"Haan teri didi ke liye. Wo chahti hai ki tu us se milne special ghar aaye. Chal fir aaj yahi gift sahi.", Shankar ne aisa kehne ke sath Rajesh ko peeche aane ka ishara diya Daleep ke sath aur esteem nikaal kar ghar ki taraf badh chala. Yaha wo suraksha ab hawa ho chuki thi jiske dum par S.V. Rana mulakaat karne aaya tha.
Update 193 (1)
Pehli Mulakaat
Din ke 11 bajne tak yaha jyadatar log bister tyaag chuke the. Rekha he ekmatra stree thi jo abhi tak soyi thi aur uski wajah bhi sabko pata thi isliye koshshih rakhi gayi ki unke aaspas koyi awaaj na ho. Poore ghar me Kaushalya ji aur Rameshwar ji ke alawa koyi aur aisa tha jo ek pal bhi na soya tha wo Komal thi. Apni daadi ko khabar lagne se pehle he wo rasoi ke sara kaam nibta chuki thi aur dono kaamwali bai se poore ghar ki atchi tarah safaai bhi karwa di thi. Kaushalya ji rasmo ki tayaari karne ke baad aangan me aayi toh paseene se lathpath aur sabse bepawah si Komal ko rasoi ki garmi me ulajhte dekh kuch gambhir ho gayi.
"Matt bann dusri Rekha aur ye sharir hai na iski bhi seema hoti hai bitiya. Itna matt ghisao ke bhavishya me ye jaldi sath chhod de. Waise yaha se itni mehak kaise aa rahi hai?", Kaushalya ji ne apne pallu se he Komal ka chehra saaf karne ke baad chulhe par sikti wo bharwa bhindi dekh li thi par puchne ki mansha kuch aur bhi thi.
"Oh daadi aap bhi na. Na toh main kabhi aap jitna kaam kar sakti hu aur na he maa ki tarah. Parso aap he toh keh rahi thi ki nayi bahu ghar aaye toh chulhe par sabse pehle meetha he bann na chahiye.? Kheer tayaar kar rahi thi toh laga ki sabhi log halwai wala khana khaate hue pareshan na ho gaye ho. Ye amchoor wali bhindi dada ji ke sath sath chacha ji ko bhi pasand hai aur safed chhole ke sath chawal Sanjiv bhaiya ko. Aapne bhi kal thik se khana nahi khaya tha aur subah se ek cup chai ke alawa kuch liya bhi nahi. Gali me Gyaan uncle aaye the sabji le kar toh aapke liye ajwaain wali torai banai hai, bina jyada masale ke. Bas abhi maal-pooye baaki hai jo garam he thik rahenge parosne."
"Bas bas.. Paagal kahi ki. Wo bahar machine bhi tune he lagaai hogi?", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Komal ko jaise yaad aaya ki wo aakhiri chakkar ke kapde nikalne bhool gayi hai is sabme.
"Oh daadi. Main aati hu abhi kapde nikal kar. Galti se bhool gayi."
"Bas beta tu baith yaha. Maine kar di band aur wo kapde sukhane wo dono kaamwali chhat par bhej bhi di. Tujhe kya padi thi ye sab karne ki? Aaj he kapde bhi dho diye?", Komal ko apne sath liye wo wapis kamre me aa gayi thi. Chulha band tha ab sabji pakne se. Unke bister par ek taraf Shalini soyi hui thi aur uski bagal me Muskaan. Jisko bhi jaha jagah dikhi thi wo thakaan se wahi so gaya tha.
"Daadi, abhi lage hath kaam ho gaya na. Baad me jyada kaam ikattha ho jata aur mehmaan bhi chal-fir rahe hote. Mujhe yahi time thik laga aur baaki sabko araam ki jarurat bhi thi. Aap bhi toh aane ke baad nahi soyi.", Komal ne ek baar kamre me dakhil hote apne dada ji ko dekha jo ab tayaar ho chuke the.
"Ki gal ho rahi hai dono daadi pauti de vich?", Kursi laga kar wo bhi yahi baith gaye. Unke hath me ek file thi jo filhal band he rakhe hue the.
"Ye pagal araam karne ki jagah sara kaam akele he nibta chuki. Main isko yahi samjha rahi thi ki sabki aadatein itni na bigade ki kal ko unke sath sath hume bhi pareshani ho. Saaf-safaai karwane ke sath kapde aur khana tak kar diya is ladki ne akele. Kal subah 4 baje ki uthi hui hai.", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Rameshwar ji ne bade he sneh se Komal ke sar pe hath firate hue kaha.
"Thanedarni ji aap hum teeno ke liye chai he bana lo. Itne main meri is Annapurna ki khabar he le lu.", Kaushalya ji apne pita aur pauti ke sneh ko dekh muskurati hui khadi ho gayi. Komal khud ye karna chahti thi lekin apne dada ji ki baat par gor karte hue wo unhe prashanvachak nigah se he dekhne lagi. Kaushalya ji ke jaate he unhone wo file Komal ke saamne kar di. Hare gatte ki file khol kar Komal ne pehle toh un stamp paper ko sarsari nigah se dekha aur uske baad bina kuch kahe wo agle 2 page padhne lagi.
"Mujhe kya karna hai isme dada ji? Waise is par mere signature nahi hai aur iske baare me toh mujhe aapne ya daadi ne bhi nahi bataya.", Komal ne file ko bister par ek taraf rakh diya tha jaise wo filhal har baat ko atche se jaan sake.
"Pehle caretaker tumhari maa aur chachi thi is sabki. Tumhari chachi ne ye aage Priyanka ko waris banaya jab Arjun ne mana kiya aur baad me Arjun maan gaya toh usko. Aisa he Rekha bahu ne kiya tumhare aur Ritu ke kehne par. Lekin is bailbudhi ne ye nayi will tayaar karwa di apne bhai aur mujhe jhanse me le kar. Rupali ki taraf bhi usne aisa he kiya hai jisme filhal toh sabkuch Arjun he dekh raha hai lekin kanooni haq saari jameen-jayedad ka sirf aur sirf tumhare naam hai. Main chahta hu ki tum ye 10 pratishat ka labh Anjali bitiya ke naam kar do is Narinder wali taraf ka. Power of attorney tumhare he naam hai jabtak Arjun 21 ka nahi ho jata.", Yaha Rameshwar ji ne Roshni-Raman ki bitiya ka naam liya toh Komal ko jaise halki si uljhan hui par usne jara bhi jaahir na kiya.
"Mujhe kyun aitraaj hoga bhala dada ji? Waise bhi mujhe is sabme koyi interest nahi hai. Arjun ne toh mujhse poocha tak nahi aisa karwane se pehle aur mujhe pata bhi abhi lag raha hai. Bataye kaha sign karne hai?"
"File ke aakhir me 2 aur page hai. Unhe atche se padh lo sign karne se pehle. Ab Arjun ne aisa kyun kiya hai ye toh wahi bata sakta hai. Usne mana nahi kiya sab sambhalne se aur wo dhyaan deta hai har baat par. Sabke account me time se unka hissa dena aur jaha bhi kisi ko jarurat ho toh waha apni taraf se badha dena. Koyi naya bhagidar judta hai toh Arjun khud he usko ek uchit hissa pradaan karta hai.", Rameshwar ji baat karte hue ye bhi dekh rahe the ki Komal kaise bina koyi sawaal kiye lekin bade dhyaan se un panno ko jaanch rahi thi. Padhne ke baad usne aage palta toh waha bhi ek naya kaagaj tha.
"Yaha toh Radhika Dutt likha hai dada ji. Matlab bhabhi ko bhi Arjun ne .."
"Nahi nahi beta. Wo kagaj toh naam me badlaav aur yaha ke pariwar me shamil karne ke liye hai. Radhika ab is ghar ki sadasya hai na toh lage hath maine ye kaagaj bhi tayaar karwa liye. Haan ek sign yaha peeche khali panne par bhi kar do. Waise tumne ye nahi poocha beti ki hum aisa kyun kar rahe hai? Kyun Roshni aur Anjali ko hum idhar se hissedari de rahe hai jabki tumhare chote dada ke pas bhi sampatti hai aur Roshni ke pati alag jayedad hogi.", Rameshwar ji aadatan aise sawaal kar he lete the lekin yaha unke saamne Sanjiv ya Arjun na the. Ye Komal thi jo be-wajah sawaal nahi karti thi. Aur agar wo karti toh sawaal ummeed se kahi jyada he bade hote.
"Wo bhi pariwar ke sadasya hai dada ji aur aapne aisa fainsla liya hai toh jarur wajah hogi he. Jab aapke hath kisi ki madad kar sake us vyakti ke bure samay me toh is se badh kar insaaniyat kya hogi. Waise bhi yaha hum sabko aapne jarurat se jyada he diya hai, apne liye kuch na rakhte hue.", Rameshwar ji gadgad ho chuke the apni is sushil pauti ke jawaab se aur Kaushalya ji bhi chai le kar yaha aa chuki thi.
"Inke pas fir bhi bahot hai beti. 25 hajaar se jyada toh inki pension aati hai aur PF par toh byaaj bhi wasool rahe hai ye bank se. Lekin teri baat bhi thik hai ki jab apne hath me 2 roti ho toh agar hum ek kisi jaruratmand ko de bhi de toh wo ek roti hamare liye 2 ke barabar he rahegi. Chai pee kar tu araam kar le, fir khaane ke baad ye log toh gappe hankne me lage rahenge lekin tu Arjun ko market le jana. Mahine bhar ke liye wo jaane wala hai toh garmi ke hisaab se uske liye sahi kapde kharid lena. Aur uski khurak badalni hai toh wo parchi bhi main tumhe de dungi. Teri chachi aur taai ab tayaar hai toh jo thoda bahot kaam bach gaya wo unhe karne de. Pichli taraf wale kamre se agar 3 4 baje ke pehle tu bahar dikhi toh fer soch liyo.", Kaushalya ji ne ye pyaar bhari ghudki dete hue ek cup chai ka apne pati ki taraf badha diya. Komal bhi file ek taraf rakh chai ka aananad lene lagi. Sawaal Pandit ji ke mann me bhi the aur Komal ke bhi lekin ye dono he dridh mastishk insaan khud pehal nahi karne wale the.

Madhuri lagbhag 10 baje he apne sasural pahuch gayi thi. Abhishek ji ke sath darjan bhar caro me khaas baraati bhi yaha tak aaye the. Waise toh inke yaha sirf 4 he log the jisme se ek Shilpa ji ka shishu aur hafte me 5 din bahar rehne wala Gorav. Lekin is bade ghar ki dekhrekh Abhishek ji ke 2 vishwaspatra aur unki 19 varshiya santaan poore dil se karte the. Mukhya imarat me kuch jyada he bade aangan ke baad 2 manjilo par kul 8 kamre, 2 bade hall, ek rasoi aur lagbhag har kamre se juda bathroom tha. Ghar ki dekhbhal aur Shilpa ji ki madad ke liye hamesha uplabdh rehne wali Nepali mool ki Barsha Thapa (37) thi aur ghar ke sath bahar ke kaam ke liye uska mehnati evam saral swabhav pati Pashupati Thapa (40). Inki eklauti santaan Kiran Thapa (19), snatak ke pratham varsh imtihaan de chuki thi aur padhai ke sath sath wo apni maa aur Shilpa ji ki uchit madad karti thi.
"Choti memsaab toh bilkul chaand hai Abhishek babu. Sach kehti thi Shilpa memsaab ki Gorav babu ki kismat he tej hai. Aaiye dulhan ji aur apne daahine paanv se kalash palat kar kadam rakhiye apne ghar me. Bhagwan sukh-samridhi banaye rakhe.", Aarti ka thaal liye Barsha ne dwaar par he Gorav aur Madhuri ki nazar utari. Taamra-kalash me bhare chawal bikher Madhuri ne apne kadam bhitar rakhe toh pehle se maujood darjan bhar mehmaano ne phool aur chawal barsate hue dono ka swagat kiya. Lekin iske sath sath Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ke sar se shagun vaar kar Barsha ko dete hue ulahana bhi diya.
"Kitne baar kahe aapse Barsha ki humko memsaab mat kaha kijiye. Abhishek aapke liye babu hai wo thik lekin hume aap didi kehti hai wahi kahiye. Aur wo natkhat Gungun kaha hai? Ab tabiyat thik hai uski?", Shilpa ji apne rishteydaro aur devar-devrani ko liye aangan me aayi toh Pashupati ne pehle he sabke baithne aur nashte ka intjaam kar rakha tha. 3 lakdi ke table par thande paani aur sharbat ke gilas saje the kuch mishthaan aur phal-namkeen ke sath. Aangan me chhaya ke liye waise toh aam ke 2 vriksh paryapt the lekin shaadi wale ghar me lagne wala laal shamiana bhi bharpoor chhaya banaye tha. Rasoi se chai-coffee ki tray liye ye ujle salwar kameej me jarurat se jyada he gori yuvti in logo ko dekh wo tray pas wale table par rakh lagbhag daudti hui Shilpa ji ke paas aa gayi.
"Bhabhi aap ne mera intjaar bhi nahi kiya? Maa aap toh bolna bhi mat ab mere sath. Awaaj toh laga sakti thi ki chhoti bhabhi ghar aa gayi hai?", Takriban 5 feet ki ye ladki jis tarah se adhikar jata rahi thi wo dekh Abhishek ji aur Shilpa ji ke chehre par thakaan ke bawjood aseem khushi thi.
"Tujhe dhoop lag jaati na Gungun isliye maine he mana kiya tha. Ab dekh tere saamne hai teri nayi bhabhi aur Gorav se neg bhi le le teri marji ka.", Abhishek ji ne sabhi mehmano ko baithne ki gujarish karne ke sath sath is ladki ke bhi sar ko laad se sehlate hue kaha.
"Neg nahi chahiye Abhishek bhaiya. Bukhar ki wajah se pehle he main shaadi me na ja saki aur fir nayi bhabhi ke sath gate pe pehli photo bhi khinchne se reh gayi. Atcha toh aap na abhi mere sath aao nayi bhabhi aur Gorav bhaiya aap bhi aa sakte ho.", Ye ladki lagbhag Madhuri ka hath khinchte hue usko wapis he le ja rahi thi aur Shilpa ji bhi hanste hue apne devar ko unke peeche le gayi. Baraat ke sath gaye photographer ka camera khud he Abhishek ji ne utha liya kyonki wo vyakti hath mooh dhone ke baad abhi paani peene laga tha.
"Bhaiya ji ye ladki toh pagal hai aur aap isko daantne ki jagah iski baat maan rahe ho.?", Pashupati gamche se apna chehra saaf karta hua ghar ke maalik ki bagal me he chal raha tha.
"Pashupati ji, jab aapko bhi pata hai ki Kiran hamare liye ghar ki pehli bachi hai toh ye toka toki mat he kijiye. Aap mehmano ko dekhiye aur hum jara is shaitaan ki tasiveer khinch le. Shukar hai ki ye itne me he maan rahi hai.", Lekin Abhishek ji ki soch he galat nikli jab Kiran ne ek ya 2 nahi lagbhag darjan photo utarwaai aur baad me toh apne maa-baap ko bhi shamil kiya jab photographer khud he idhar chala aaya. Aas-pados ke log dono dulha-dulhan ko shagun ke sath shubhkamnaye dene ke baad nashta karne lage the aur Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ka parichaya karwaya.
"Ye Barsha didi hai jo hamare ghar ko ghar banaye rakhti hai, bina humse koyi mehnat karwaye aur ye hamari laadli hai Gungun. Waise toh iska naam Kiran hai lekin har waqt bas ye filmy gaane gungunati rehti hai jis wajah se tumhare jeth ji ne iska naam he Gungun rakh diya. Gorav aur inke liye Gungun he ghar ki beti aur inki behan hai. Abhishek jab bhi ghar hote hai toh unki subah ki chai hamesha yahi banati hai. Aur Gungun abse tumhe apni nayi bhabhi ka poora dhyaan rakhna hai.", Madhuri ne bhi bade saleeke se Kiran ko apne sath laga kar prem darshaya.
"Wo toh sab thik hai lekin aap toh neg ke baare me kuch keh rahi thi? Main nayi bhabhi ko apne sath he le jaungi market toh wahi se aap mujhe Rani Mukherji wali jeans dilwa dena. College me bahot si ladkiyan pehanti hai lekin maa toh mujhe salwar kameej ke alawa kuch dilwati he nahi.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Madhuri ke chehre par bhi muskaan aa gayi. Abhishek ji ne beech me dakhal dete hue kaha.
"Abhi tumhari nayi bhabhi ko araam karne ke liye unke kamre me le jao Gungun. Hum khud he kal sabko market le chalenge. Jo dil kare wo le lena aur tumhari maa bhi nahi tokegi. Gorav tum bhi thoda araam kar lo.", Baat bhi sahi thi jo saari raat shaadi me vyast hone ke baad 4-5 ghante ka safar aur idhar ghanta bhar mehmano ke sath lagane ke baad sharir ko araam ki sakht jarurat thi. Gungun urf Kiran turant he apni maa ko aankh chidhati hui Madhuri ko liye pehli manzil par badh chali. Kamre niche bhi the lekin Gorav hamesha se he upar wali manzil par akela rehta tha. Pehle kamre ko paar karke dono agle kamre me dakhil hone lagi toh Kiran ne he bataya.
"Bhabhi, ye pehle wala kamra bhi Gorav bhaiya ka he hai lekin usme sirf kitabe he kitabe hai. Wo toh chutti par bhi aate hai toh din bhar kitabo me lage rehte hai. Haan thoda khelne bhi jaate hai club me lekin jyadatar computer ya kitabe. Ye kamra bada hai jo ab aapka hai. Isko maine he sajaya hai aur subah jo gaadi aayi thi us se samaan nikaal kar main in dono almaari me laga chuki hu. Haan ye aapke chain wale bag maine nahi khole kyunki ye aapka jaruri samaan hoga.", Madhuri ke ghar se dahej chahe na bhi aaya ho lekin uphaar aur baaki sab samaan pehle he pauch chuka tha. Kiran ki mehnat aur is saaf suthre bade kamre ko dekh Madhuri sehajta se muskuraai.
"Ye meri taraf se neg samajh kar rakh lo Gungun. Ghar me sabse chhoti tumhi ho toh mana matt karna. Aur idhar bathroom hai?", Madhuri ne niche mile shagun ke darjan lifafe bina jaanche he Kiran ke hawale kar diye the jo wo badi hairaani se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ne bathroom dekha toh wo lagbhag ek kamre jitna he bada tha aur bilkul saaf. Jaise wo aajkal me he banaya gaya ho ya aadhunik samaan usme lagwa kar durust kiya ho. Aisa bathroom unke ghar bhi tha lekin ye wala toh kamre ke bheetar uska neeji tha.
"Aapne dekha bhi hai bhabhi ke ye kitne rupaye honge? Maa mujhe bahot maaregi aur ye shagun aapke hai toh aap he rakhiye."
"Shilpa didi ko bata dena ki ye maine apni marji se tumhe diye hai. Wo sambhal lengi apne aap. Aur ye kitne hai is se kya farak padta hai? Tumhare kaam he aayenge toh samjhdari se prayog karna. Ab tum ijajat do toh kya main fresh ho kar thoda araam kar lu?", Madhuri abhi tak un bhari vastro me thi aur Gungun usko pasine me dekh apne sar pe hath marti hui remote ki taraf lapki.
"Ye Aircondition chalana bhi yaad nahi raha. Haan aap fresh ho kar araam kijiye. Waise bhi yaha jyada log nahi aate toh aapko pareshani nahi hogi. Gorav bhaiya bhi aa gaye shayad.", Kiran ne kadmo ki aahat sunn li thi jo bilkul sahi thi. Par Gorav akela nahi aaya tha. Uske sath Shilpa ji bhi thi jo apne bete ko niche sula kar aayi thi.
"Badi bhabhi ye nayi bhabhi ne apne aap he mujhe diye hai. Unhone dekha bhi nahi ki ye kitne hai. Maine lene se mana kiya tha.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Shilpa ji ne uska gaal khinchte hue kaha.
"Rakh le jab diye hai toh. Aur kitne hai ye toh tu he dekh jab tujhe diye hai. Bank me dalwa liyo agar jyada ho toh. Chal ab ja ke araam kar tu bhi. Bukhaar utra nahi ki teri masti shuru ho gayi. Madhuri, tumhe kuch bhi chahiye ho toh..Mujhse mat kehna. Ye ghar tumhara bhi hai toh kisi ko bhi bol sakti ho. Aur jaise dil kare waise rehna. Yaha koyi panchayti raaj nahi hai. Gorav, tum bhi kapde badal kar araam kar lo. Phir shaam ko dinner par inke kuch friends aane wale hai tum dono se milne. Madhuri, tumhara sab samaan Kiran ne laga diya hai Barsha ke sath mil kar. Dekh lena.", Shilpa jis tarah se muskura kar wapis gayi thi us par Madhuri ki toh najar nahi padi lekin Gorav jarur jhemp gaya. Phir wo bhi diwar me bani un almari ki taraf badhte hue bola.
"Madhuri, main bagal wale kamre me nahane ja raha hu. Tum chaho toh kamra band kar sakti ho."
"Aap naha ke aa jaiye aur darwaja bahar se he laga dijiyega. Ye aapka bhi kamra hai.", Madhuri ne Gorav se pehle he almari khol kar saleeke se lage Gorav ke kapdo se ek kurta-pyjama, toliya nikal kar najre jhukaye he uski aur badha diya. Gorav ke gambhir chehre par halki si muskaan aayi thi ye dekh ki abhi Madhuri ko aaye chand ghante he hue hai aur wo patni wale karya karne lagi hai.
"Wo mere underwears main khud le leta hu.", Gorav aage badha toh almari ke dono pallo ke beech ab wo Madhuri ke sharir se bilkul satt kar ek daraaj se katcha-baniyaan nikalne laga. Na chahte hue bhi dono ke sharir me halka gharshan hua tha aur Madhuri ka wo vishal ubhaar ek taraf se Gorav ki kohni ko chho gaya. Madhuri ko abhi tak apne jism par sirf Arjun ka he sparsh anubhav tha lekin Gorav uska pati tha jo ek tarah se jiwanbhar ab uske sath bister sanjha karne wala tha. Chehre par halki si laali aur sharam aa he gayi thi is sparsh se. Gorav ko jab uske wo kapde na mile toh Madhuri ne jhuk kar bagal wali daraaj ko dekha. Ab dono miya biwi ek jaisi mudra me the aur Gorav toh sab bhool kar bas us kudrat ke hunar ko nihar raha tha. Madhuri ke chikne bhare bhare gaal, chehre par khaas chamak ke sath naak me bali aur gaal se latakti wo baalo ki ghumavdar latt. Madhuri ne dono vastra nikal liye toh najre aapas me takraai. Gorav hichkichata hua palat kar seedha ho gaya.
"Thank you."
"Welcome.", Madhuri ke jawaab ko sunn kar wo jaane se pehle achanak he uske gaal ko sehla kar kamre se nikal gaya. Wo bhi Gorav ki is harkat par kuch pal hairaan hui fir sar jhatakte hue boli.
'Khud he keh rahe the ki tum shaadi se mana kar do aur ab janaab ke chehre ki khushi kal se kuch aur bata rahi hai.', Madhuri apne kapde bhi le kar us bathroom me ghus gayi. Araam karne se pehle naha lena jaruri tha. Aur jabtak wo bathroom se naha kar salwar kameej me kamre me aayi darwaja band he tha lekin bister par Gorav jarur karwat ke bal leta dikha. Shayad wo thakne ki wajah se jald he so gaya tha jaisa Madhuri ko prateet hua. Aaine me khud ko sanwarne ke baad usne pehle Gorav ko chaadar di kamre me thandak ki wajah se aur fir khud bhi ek taraf ke khali hisse me Gorav ki taraf peeth karke leit gayi. Nayi jagah aur apne bhare-poore pariwar se dur Madhuri ko ab is bister par neend nahi aa rahi thi. Bagal me soya vyakti bas aaj he toh zindagi me aaya tha aur aise dhero vichar liye Madhuri ne 3-4 baar karwat li.
"Tum thik ho na Madhuri? Jaanta hu ke tumhe andar he andar ye ajeeb lag raha hoga. Ek naya pariwar aur upar se ghar se dur. Maa ji (Lalita) ne bataya tha ke tum apne jiwan me kabhi bhi ghar se dur nahi rahi ho. Waha hain bhi toh dher saare behan bhai jinke bina tumhe aisa lagna jayaj bhi hai. Jiwan me bahot kuch pehli baar he hota hai Madhuri aur jaruri nahi ke wo bura he ho. Dhire dhire se he sahi lekin kadam badhane se hum ek waisa he sansaar bana sakte hai. Apna sansaar, jaisa tumhe pasand hai.", Gorav ne aisa kehte hue Madhuri ke sar ko halke hatho se sehlaya toh wo badi badi aankhon se ab pehli baar is vyakti ko gor se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ko yu khamosh khud ki taraf dekhta pa kar Gorav ne haami bhari.
"Main tayaar nahi tha Madhuri jaisa maine pehli mulakaat par bataya tha tumhe ki tum mana kar do. Bhaiya ne apne liye kabhi kuch nahi kiya aur shaadi hone baad bhi unki prathmikta sirf main aur hamare pita ka khoya naam wapis banana he the. Mujhe kabil banane ke liye unhone kabhi khud par dhyaan nahi diya aur jab unhone chaha ki ye ghar aur bhi pahle-phule toh maine ek aashanka ki wajah se tumhe wo kaha tha. Mujhe darr tha ki kahi meri wajah se tumhara jiwan bematlab me na kharaab ho. Par main galat tha Madhuri. Pariwar badhne se samsyaye khatam hoti hai aur ekakipan sirf khud ko tasalli dena bhar hai. Sabhi khush the is shaadi me jabki unhe toh kuch mil bhi nahi raha tha. Wo naseebwala main tha jiske liye sabhi khush the aur mujhe tum mili ho. Sapno pe kaam karna toh nahi rokunga lekin tumhe bhi shikayat nahi hone dunga. Mujhse pehle is ghar ko tumhari jarurat hai. Bhabhi ko tumhari jarurat hai Madhuri aur sabko. Itminaan se bas araam karo aur ye khayaal nikal do apne dil se ki tum nayi jagah ho. Ye tumhari jagah hai.", Gorav ne jis tarah se lagatar sar sehlate hue Madhuri se apne jajbaat jaahir kiye the wo kuch sarak kar apne pati ke kareeb ho gayi. Iske baad kuch jyada baat na hui dono me aur is baar Madhuri bhi chain se so gayi. Goarav ne beech me thoda fansla fir barkarar kiya aur usko bhi jyada samay na laga.

Shankar ghar se toh hospital me kaam ka bol kar nikle the lekin ye jagah kisi bhi surat me hospital jaisi nahi thi. Shehar ke agle bypass par bana ye aalishan hotel aur uske bahar se bhitar tak ki ati-vishisht suraksha kuch aur he kahani bayaan karti thi. Yaha is samay me kisi bhi rahgir ko rukne ki saaf manahi thi aur wajah saaf thi. Hotel me pravesh karte he kuch mehngi caro ka kafila aur unke beech wo ekmatra sadharan esteem car. Ye vyaktitva apne aap me ek he tha aur wo tha Dr Shankar Sharma. Hotel me aaj ye mehtvapurn mulakaat is bade hall me ho rahi thi jaha kisi waiter tak ko jaane ki manahi thi. Service ka bhaar bhi suraksh dekhne walo par he tha. 23-24 log is hall me maujood the jinme se sirf 3 he yaha se sambandh rakhte the. Dr Shankar, Dr Dharamvir Sangwan aur Delhi se padhare Shriman Raunaklal. Baaki 20 logo me se jyadatar coat-pant pehne manager jaise ya karobari the aur sirf 3 log thik in teeno ke saamne. Ek hatta katta 35 barash ka pehalwan sa yuvak jiske gaal kashimiri seb se laal aur sharir daitya sa. Dusra gambhir, mehngi safed kameej pehne darmiyane se kad ka ghungrale baal wala lekin sabse robila adhed aur unke beech baitha wo 55-60 baras ka ek sant-bheshbhusha wala lekin inka mukhiya. Gale me rudraaksh ki mala, hath me sone ki janjire aur sharir fakk safed varstro me.
"Ye Raunaklal jis marji sarkaar me ho lekin isko hamari taqat ka atche se pata hai. Aur tum Dharamvir Sangwan, kehne ko toh is Shankar ke shikshak ho aur kuch chhote mote hospital ke maalik lekin bewajah bahot si jagah tum apni taang adaane se baaj nahi aate. Khair tum bhi yaha isliye bulaye gaye ho ki Delhi aur uske najdeek hamare 5 hospital me apni sewa de sako. Jagah hamari hogi, paisa Raunaklal aur tum barabar lagaoge. Haan ye Gajendra Bhalla jaise chhuttbhaiya ke sath kaam tum dono nahi karoge.", Us adhed se ghungrale baalo walo ne cigar ko jalane se pehle thoda mooh me daba kar toda aur fir jalane ke baad apni baat kahi. Jinhe wo naam se pukar raha tha wo dono he uske baap ki umar ke the. Is vyakti ka naam tha Suryavir Singh Rana, S.V. group of companies ka maalik aur desh videsh me khaase rasookh wala. Shankar iski baat ko darkinaar karte hue itminaan se kaali coffee ki chuskiyan le raha tha.
"Mere pas 10 hospital hai Rana aur mujhe nahi lagta ki mujhe filhal koyi naya kaam shuru karna chahiye.", Dharamvir Sangwan ke itne se jawaab par wo hatta katta sa aadmi nakhush dikha lekin Rana ne ishare se usko khamosh he rakha.
"Waise toh tumhari ye baat mere bhai ko nagawar gujri hai Dharavir lekin chalo tumhari ye pehli gustakhi hai aur doctor ke sath tum ek shikshak bhi rahe ho isliye main tumhe maaf karta hu. Wo 10 hospital he toh tum hamare sath mila rahe ho. Unme se 5 hum band karenge aur baaki pahcho par paisa laga kar wo aalishan imarat tayaar karenge ki poore uttar bharat me phir unke samaan koyi hospital na hoga. Tumse kuch paisa waisa nahi le rahe aur na tumhari hasiyat hai ki trucko ke hisaab se tum hamara khajana bhar sako. Raunaklal, tumne samjhaya nahi tha kya isko? Mere har minute ki keemat 5 lakh hai.", Rana ke chehre par koyi gussa na tha lekin awaaj bata rahi thi ki usko guroor bhi tha aur wo taqatwar bhi.
"Fainsle Dharamvir bhai sahab nahi lete Rana sahab. Shankar he adhikarik maalik hai share ke hisaab se aur Gajendra Bhalla ke sath Delhi me naye vypaar ka bada bhagidar bhi. Kaha kaam karna hai, kya kaam karna hai aur kiske sath karna hai ye sirf Shankar he taye karta hai aur agar Shankar uplabdh na ho toh Umed Singh.", Raunaklal Delhi me rasookhwala tha lekin yaha toh wo bhi is aadmi ko 'ji' ke sath sambodhit kar raha tha. Shankar abhi bhi diary par kuch likhta hua wo kali coffee me laga raha.
"Shankar. Dr Shankar Sharma suputra Rameshwar Sharma. Iska baap police afsar tha jo ab retired hai? 3 bhai aur ek behan. Patni se 3 aulaad jinme sabse chota ek ladka baaki dono ladkiyan. Chhota mota gunda bhi hai ye safed kapdo ke peeche lekin isko itni bhi kya ehmiyat de rakhi hai Dharamvir jo ye maalik bana hua hai? Aur Raunaklal, tum toh jaante ho mere bhai ke saamne sabhi gundo ki patloon kaise gili ho jaati hai. Ye chhote mote shehar wale bas gali mohalle me apne baap ke naam par 2-3 ke hath paanv todd kar raub jama lete hai. Yaha saamne wala awaaj baad me karta hai, pehle uske maathe ke beech bindi bann jaati hai.", Rana jaise bol raha tha uske darjan bhar coat-pant pehne wo chaddam gunde daant dikhane lage.
"21 minute hue hai aur is hisaab se tumhari nautanki ke hue 85 lakh. Ye toh kuch jyada he ho gaye lekin chalo tum yaha aaye ho toh khali hath toh nahi bhejunga tumhe. Ye cheque bana diya hai maine aur agar tumhe isko bhunane me koyi pareshani hai toh meri gaadi me ek crore pada hai.", Shankar pen aur cheque liye maje se tehalta hua table ke dusri taraf un teeno ke peeche ja ruka lekin uski jubaan sunn kar Rana ka chehra laal ho chuka tha. Uska wo pehalwan gunda bhai bhi akad kar kuch kehne he laga tha lekin us se pehle Shankar ne wo cheque Rana ke mooh par de mara aur pen us pehalwan ke kandhe me, jo shayad mehnga tha ispaat se bana hua. Lagbhag aadha pen us gainde jaise aadmi ke kandhe ki nichli haddi ke barabar se sharir me ghuss chuka tha. Koyi bhi harkat me aata us se pehle Shankar ka pasandida hathiyar is haal me chamak raha tha jo Rana ke bhai ke gale par tika tha.
"Randi ki aulaad saale yaha ek chutiya gandmare ko apna swami bana kar aa pahuche. Aur inhe lagta hai ki 5000 crore ki dalali karke ye maadarchod kisi ke bhi sar par mootne lagenge. Aye Raunaklal uncle. Inhe bataya nahi tha kya ke meri fees kya hai?", Shankar ne pen wala hath hata liya tha lekin uski kohni ki giraft itni majboot thi ki wo gainda tass se mass na ho saka.
"Tum kar kya rahe ho? Virendra ko chhod do aur hum tumhari saja kam kar denge.", Rana ke sath sath uski bagal me baithe bujurg ko bhi is vatanukalit hall me paseene aa chuke the. Shankar ne cigrattee nikal kar ek hath se he pehle mooh par lagaai aur fir usi hath se lighter jala kar sulga li. Table ke saamne baithe Sangwan ji aur Raunaklal muskura rahe the.
"3 baatein bata deta hu main tumhe Rana. Ek toh ye ki agar Shankar ne apni fees kabhi bataai hai toh mareej zinda nahi bacha lekin ye fees le kar rehta hai. Dusri baat, inke pita ke naam ke sath Pandit ji lagao ya kam se kam ji toh laga he lo aur shikshak bhi iske liye pita samaan hai toh ye unka kabhi anadar nahi hone deta. Aksar aise logo ki ye kalam pakadne wali ungli aur angootha kaat deta hai. Lekin tum nischint raho kyonki ye ghar aaye logo ki pehli baar me jaan nahi leta. Aur teesri baat jo ki tumhe sabse jyada yaad rakhni chahiye thi, galti se bhi lakkadbaggo ke jhund ko shero ki maand me nahi ghusna chahiye. Shankar akela he sher nahi hai idhar lekin yahi akela tumhari maand me ghuss kar har pille ki saans rok dega.", Dr Dharamvir Sangwan apni jagah se uth kar khade ho gaye the. Rana ko wo majboot sa bhai ladkhada raha tha kamjor pakad aur behte hue khoon ki wajah se. Shankar ke sharir ko dekh kar Rana ne uska aankalan bahot galat he lagaya tha. Lekin guroor fir bhi thoda bhari ha us par.
"Dekh rahe ho Dharamvir yaha kitne log hai? Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar aur maafi maang lo. Main jarurat se jyada dayavaan hu toh tumhe saja me sirf itna he karna hoga ki kabhi bhi Delhi ka rukh matt karna. Aur haan Raunaklal, tumhe ab dugni penalty lagegi.", Rana andar he andar apne bhai ki haalat dekh tilmila raha tha aur uske kareeb baitha wo bujurg uske kaan me kuch kehne ki koshshi karna chahta tha lekin is mahol me jaise sabka dhyaan Shankar par he tha.
"Ye milawat wala beej hai chacha, na sudharne wala. Waise tum Delhi ki baat kar rahe the na Rana toh saja sunn lo. Delhi me najar matt aana aainda kyonki main aaj he shaam Delhi ke liye nikalne wala hu. Jisko tum gundo ka shehjada bata rahe ho ye ladkiyon wala powder khila kar bada kiya hai tumne, isko main apne paas he rakhunga. Haan iska dhadd le kar ja sakte ho jab tumhare ye baaki lakadbagghe is hotel se 10 kos dur ja chuke ho.", Shankar ne thaan liya tha ke wo is pehalwan ko zinda nahi chhodne wala.
"Shankar Virendra ko zinda jaane do. Baat badh sakti hai. Rana ke pita.."
"Raunaklal ji, is gandmare ke baap pita aur mere papa? Unhone hamesha sikhaya hai ke apni ijjatt apne hath. Aap kya chahte ho main apne karam se na-insaafi karke ye operation blade wapis jeb me rakh lu.?", Ab Raunaklal ke sath sath Rana aur us bujurg ke bhi gotte mooh me aa gaye the. Shankar ka chehra tamtama raha tha aur us blade ki pakad jyada majboot dikhne lagi.
"Baat yahi khatam karte hai aur iske badle hum ek aur meeting rakhenge. Is taraf ki Delhi tumhari aur udhar ki hamari. Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar nahi toh yaha se koyi bhi zinda nahi jaane wala. Main apni baat ka pakka hu aur aaj pehli baar saamne wali ki baat maan raha hu. Mere bhai ko chhod do..", Rana na uth pa raha tha aur na he wo apne aadmiyon ko aadesh de saka. Shankar sirf Dharamvir ji ko he dekh raha tha jo muskurate hue khamoshi se is manjar ko jehan me sametne lage.
"Wo aisa hai Rana ki Shankar mera sabse kabil beta hai isliye ye akela 40 pratishat ka maalik hai aur mere baaki teen lafange 60% ke barabar bhagidar. Tum soch rahe ho ke bahar tumhari suraksha hai lekin wo tumhari soch hai. Ab waha sirf hum hai aur jo ye naumne garmi me bhi coat pant pehne baithe hai ya toh ye yaha se khamoshi se nikal jaaye nahi toh wo log andar aaye toh main Raunaklal ki baat se bhi ittefaaq nahi rakhne wala. Delhi me ab 5 hospital banenge aur wo sabhi tumhari jagah par jisme tumhara koyi hissa nahi hone wala kyonki tum na toh idhar ki taraf dikhoge aur na he udhar ki taraf. Ye kaagaz hai tumhari un jagah ke aur ye NOC hai. Keemat tumhari zindagi. Sign kar do.", Sangwan ji ne file aise khiskaai thi ki wo seedha Rana ke saamne ja ruki. Wo toh hairaan sa apni he jameen ke kaagaj dekh raha tha jinke sahi sahi kaagaj ye log pehle se he liye the.
"Aise kya dekh raha hai bhosdike? Mera bhai pehle pehle kaagaj banwata hai fir uske maalik ko bulwata hai. Shukar kar Inder yaha nahi aaya. Chal pen chala nahi toh..", Shankar ne itna kehne ke sath blade ka dabaav banaya toh Virendra Rana ke gale se patli se khoon ki dhaar risne lagi aur hall me dakhil hue Bhuppi, Deepak, Daleep aur Rajesh ke sath 4 log. Sabhi ke hath me swachalit tamanche chamak rahe the muskurahat ke sath.
"Matlab Raunaklal, tumne ye jaal bichhaya tha?"
"Bhosdike maine bola na mere bhai ne kiya tha ye sab. Usko Punjab me maja nahi aa raha tha aur main sarkari doctor hu isliye Delhi me kya karunga.? Haan un dono ko Delhi chahiye thi aur ye 100-200 crore wale kaam nahi karne the. Is chakkar me Sangwan chacha ne bola ke unhe ab kuch bade hospita bhi waha banane padenge toh tujhse milne aa gaye. Tu harek ko chutiya samajh raha tha aur yahi tujhse galti ho gay. Chal sign kar aur nikal. Iske badle main sachmuch tere bhai ko sabut saunp dunga.", Baaki sabhi ko Daleep and party ne ek ek karke chalta kar diya tha. Shankar ki baahon me Virendra toh kabka behosh he ho chuka tha jiski haalat dekh Rana ne bina dekhe sabhi kagajo par lagatar hastakshar kar diye.
"Mere bhai ko chhod do aur main Delhi se dur rahunga."
"Wo toh tu rahega he lekin tera baap.. Sorry tumhare aadarniya pita ji thode dheeth hai. Tum mujhe meri kundli aadhi adhuri bata rahe the na toh us se pehle jara apne pita ji se mere papa ke baare me pooch lete. Vir Singh Rana ki patloon geeli ho jaati us naam se agar tumne Pandit ji bol diya hota toh. Aye Deepak, is swami ke thik beech me goli maar. Swarg se pehle ye ruka na toh tujhe dekhne ke liye peeche bhejunga.", Shankar ki garjana khatam bhi nahi hui thi ki silencer lagi pistol se bas pitt ki awaaj aayi aur wo rudrakshdhari Swami kursi par ludhak gaya. Khoon ke chhinte Rana ke chehre par bhi gire the jis se wo seham kar hairat se sabko dekh raha tha. Shankar ne Rana ke bhai ka sharir jameen par girate hue swami ki gardan utha kar bade he gor se wo goli ka nishaan dekha jaha se khoon behta hua table ko bhigo raha tha.
"Ye swarg se bhi aage gaya beta. Tu toh champion ho gaya Deepak center point ka. Chal Rana tujhe main poore 5 minute de raha hu aur agar utni der me tu apne bhai ko le kar yaha se nikal gaya toh tum dono zinda rahoge nahi toh gate yaha se 250 gaj dur hai aur tumhari laash is sarhad me he kisi bagiche me dafan milegi.", Shankar ki baat sunn kar Rana ne pehle toh hall ko dekha jaha ab uska koyi bhi aadmi nahi tha lekin yaha jitne the sabke hatho me hathiyar. Uska bhai jo sharir me us se dugna tha wo murchhit pada tha. Rana ne jaise taise usko uthane ki bharpoor koshish ki lekin sawa 100 kilo se jyada ka wo pehalwan tass se mass na hua. Rana ke chehre se pasina paani ki tarah farsh par jaldi he girne laga aur samay teji se kam hota gaya.
"2 minute", Daleep ke itna kehte he Rana ne apne bhai ko wahi chhoda aur bahar ki taraf daud laga di.
"Jaane doge isko Shankar?"
"Haan chacha isko toh jaane he dunga. Abhi toh ye bahot kaam aane wala hai jaisa Inder ne kaha tha. Ye Virendra ko apne kabje me rakhna hai hume isliye mujhe aisa karna pada. Bhuppi iski atche se khaatir karna aur jo bhi chahiye ho wo muhaiyya karwana. Aapne atcha kaam kiya Raunaklal uncle aur baaki sab ne bhi.", Shankar ne paani ki bottle utha kar ek lamba ghoont bhara toh uske kareeb aa khade hue Dharamvir ji ne bade he sneh se kandha thapthapaya.
"Aaj pehli baar dekha ke mera Shankar shikaar karne ka riwaaj seekh raha hai. Mujhe toh laga tha yaha 20-25 laash girne wali hai lekin wo hero shayad kuch badal sa gaya.", Unki baat sunn kar Raunaklal ne bhi gardan haan me hilaai.
"Ye sahi kaha aapne bhai sahab. Mujhe bhi laga tha ke aaj inke sath sath hum log bhi swag-sidharne wale hai. Aur Shankar ki herogiri se toh khud Pandit ji bhi darte hai."
"Baat aisi hai ki mere dono bhai (Umed-Narinder) ne mujhe bataya tha yaha aane se pehle. Unka kehna tha ki jaruri nahi ki khoon bematlab bahaya jaaye agar kaam baaton se ho sakta ho toh. Us janwar ko bacha kar rakho us din ke liye jab khoon jyada bahana pade. Vir Singh Rana se Inder khud milna chahta hai wo bhi papa ki taraf se aur aise maslo ke beech Shankar kabhi nahi aata."
"Toh is swami ko kyun mara?"
"Maine mara? Main kaun hota hu chacha ji kisi ko maarne wala? Deepak tadaf raha tha rivolver liye aur mujhse ye dekha na gaya toh iske nishane ki pariksha leni chahi maine. Waise ye Sharman Muni tha, hawala wala aur iske jaane se Vir Singh Rana ke hath ab aadhe toh katt chuke hai. Ye pehli mulakaat atchi rahi Rana pariwar ke sath aur ab main ghar ja kar apne bete ko surprise dena chahta hu.", Shankar ne wo cigrattee joote ke niche daba kar bujhane ke baad apne blade aur hatheli ko paani se wahi saaf kiya.
"Toh aaj tum Arjun ke sath waqt bitane wale ho?", Rajesh ne ye kaha tha jo apne jija ke sath he aage chalne laga. Sangwan ji us file ko liye Raunaklal ko kuch samjha rahe the hanste hue aur baaki logo ne us swami ki lash ko thikane lagane ke liye ek kapde me lapet liya. Rajesh ke sath Daleep bhi tha.
"Mera beta hai Rajesh wo aur usko bhi chahat rehti hai ki main usko apni bagal me baitha kar thoda ghumau firau. Waise bhi usne mujhse apni maa ke liye bahot sawaal kiye the aur jab usne apni maa ka hath dekha toh mujhe jis tarah apne gale lagaya wo sirf main he mehsoos kar sakta hu. Ek mahine ke liye wo ghar se dur jaane wala hai. Mujhe bhi kami khalegi he uski chahe main ghar pe utna nahi rehta.", Daleep bade gor se Shankar ko dekh raha tha jo chalte hue apne bete ko yaad karke jis tarah khush tha wo sachmuch Shankar ki khaas muskaan thi, ek gehri muskaan kisi nischall pyaar ki.
"Jija maine toh aapko kabhi itne sensitive hote nahi dekha. Aur wo bas ek mahine ke liye ja raha hai jabki pehle bhi wo 8-9 saal ghar se dur raha tha. Waise atchi baat hai ki aap usko samajhte ho."
"8-9 saal nahi Rajesh 8 saal 137 din ya fir yun kahu ki 3060 din toh behtar rahega. Ye maine pehle nahi jana tha ke hum itne dur rahe hai. Kuch din pehle he maine ginti ki thi ki mera beta mujhse kitne samay dur raha. Uska mehatva mujhe thoda deri se pata chala lekin ek wahi hai jo papa ke sansaar ki neev barkaraar rakh sakta hai. Abhi yaha se jaate he main usko apne sath market le jaane wala hu. Ritu-Alka bhi jaayengi he lekin main chahta hu ki tu aur Daleep bhi mere sath chalo. Tu Rekha, Rupali, Aarti aur Komal ko le chalna. Daleep apne sath Manju, Pinki, Krishna aur Inder ko. Umed bhi tayaar milega.", Shankar ke aisa kehne par Daleep ko kuch khatka sa hua Manju ka naam sunn kar.
"Wo baaki log?"
"Jo araam karna chahte hai unhe karne de na yar aur Sanjiv ko bhi toh time dena hai. Baaki bhabhi aur Raju bhai ne behno ke sath geet he gaane hai Sanjiv Radhika ke. Main chahta hu ke kisi ko ye na lage ki wo Arjun ke sath samay nahi bita saka. Khaane ka bil aaj meri sasural ki taraf se."
"Hahaha.. jija. Meri he gaand maar li na?"
"Rajesh darling, isko gaand maarna nahi sewa ka mauka dena kehte hai. Teri he toh khushi badha raha hu main.", Shankar ki baat ka arth samajh kar Rajesh uske gale lag gaya.
"Didi ke liye."
"Haan teri didi ke liye. Wo chahti hai ki tu us se milne special ghar aaye. Chal fir aaj yahi gift sahi.", Shankar ne aisa kehne ke sath Rajesh ko peeche aane ka ishara diya Daleep ke sath aur esteem nikaal kar ghar ki taraf badh chala. Yaha wo suraksha ab hawa ho chuki thi jiske dum par S.V. Rana mulakaat karne aaya tha.
awesome update hai Enigma bhai,Update 193 (1)
Pehli Mulakaat
Din ke 11 bajne tak yaha jyadatar log bister tyaag chuke the. Rekha he ekmatra stree thi jo abhi tak soyi thi aur uski wajah bhi sabko pata thi isliye koshshih rakhi gayi ki unke aaspas koyi awaaj na ho. Poore ghar me Kaushalya ji aur Rameshwar ji ke alawa koyi aur aisa tha jo ek pal bhi na soya tha wo Komal thi. Apni daadi ko khabar lagne se pehle he wo rasoi ke sara kaam nibta chuki thi aur dono kaamwali bai se poore ghar ki atchi tarah safaai bhi karwa di thi. Kaushalya ji rasmo ki tayaari karne ke baad aangan me aayi toh paseene se lathpath aur sabse bepawah si Komal ko rasoi ki garmi me ulajhte dekh kuch gambhir ho gayi.
"Matt bann dusri Rekha aur ye sharir hai na iski bhi seema hoti hai bitiya. Itna matt ghisao ke bhavishya me ye jaldi sath chhod de. Waise yaha se itni mehak kaise aa rahi hai?", Kaushalya ji ne apne pallu se he Komal ka chehra saaf karne ke baad chulhe par sikti wo bharwa bhindi dekh li thi par puchne ki mansha kuch aur bhi thi.
"Oh daadi aap bhi na. Na toh main kabhi aap jitna kaam kar sakti hu aur na he maa ki tarah. Parso aap he toh keh rahi thi ki nayi bahu ghar aaye toh chulhe par sabse pehle meetha he bann na chahiye.? Kheer tayaar kar rahi thi toh laga ki sabhi log halwai wala khana khaate hue pareshan na ho gaye ho. Ye amchoor wali bhindi dada ji ke sath sath chacha ji ko bhi pasand hai aur safed chhole ke sath chawal Sanjiv bhaiya ko. Aapne bhi kal thik se khana nahi khaya tha aur subah se ek cup chai ke alawa kuch liya bhi nahi. Gali me Gyaan uncle aaye the sabji le kar toh aapke liye ajwaain wali torai banai hai, bina jyada masale ke. Bas abhi maal-pooye baaki hai jo garam he thik rahenge parosne."
"Bas bas.. Paagal kahi ki. Wo bahar machine bhi tune he lagaai hogi?", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Komal ko jaise yaad aaya ki wo aakhiri chakkar ke kapde nikalne bhool gayi hai is sabme.
"Oh daadi. Main aati hu abhi kapde nikal kar. Galti se bhool gayi."
"Bas beta tu baith yaha. Maine kar di band aur wo kapde sukhane wo dono kaamwali chhat par bhej bhi di. Tujhe kya padi thi ye sab karne ki? Aaj he kapde bhi dho diye?", Komal ko apne sath liye wo wapis kamre me aa gayi thi. Chulha band tha ab sabji pakne se. Unke bister par ek taraf Shalini soyi hui thi aur uski bagal me Muskaan. Jisko bhi jaha jagah dikhi thi wo thakaan se wahi so gaya tha.
"Daadi, abhi lage hath kaam ho gaya na. Baad me jyada kaam ikattha ho jata aur mehmaan bhi chal-fir rahe hote. Mujhe yahi time thik laga aur baaki sabko araam ki jarurat bhi thi. Aap bhi toh aane ke baad nahi soyi.", Komal ne ek baar kamre me dakhil hote apne dada ji ko dekha jo ab tayaar ho chuke the.
"Ki gal ho rahi hai dono daadi pauti de vich?", Kursi laga kar wo bhi yahi baith gaye. Unke hath me ek file thi jo filhal band he rakhe hue the.
"Ye pagal araam karne ki jagah sara kaam akele he nibta chuki. Main isko yahi samjha rahi thi ki sabki aadatein itni na bigade ki kal ko unke sath sath hume bhi pareshani ho. Saaf-safaai karwane ke sath kapde aur khana tak kar diya is ladki ne akele. Kal subah 4 baje ki uthi hui hai.", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Rameshwar ji ne bade he sneh se Komal ke sar pe hath firate hue kaha.
"Thanedarni ji aap hum teeno ke liye chai he bana lo. Itne main meri is Annapurna ki khabar he le lu.", Kaushalya ji apne pita aur pauti ke sneh ko dekh muskurati hui khadi ho gayi. Komal khud ye karna chahti thi lekin apne dada ji ki baat par gor karte hue wo unhe prashanvachak nigah se he dekhne lagi. Kaushalya ji ke jaate he unhone wo file Komal ke saamne kar di. Hare gatte ki file khol kar Komal ne pehle toh un stamp paper ko sarsari nigah se dekha aur uske baad bina kuch kahe wo agle 2 page padhne lagi.
"Mujhe kya karna hai isme dada ji? Waise is par mere signature nahi hai aur iske baare me toh mujhe aapne ya daadi ne bhi nahi bataya.", Komal ne file ko bister par ek taraf rakh diya tha jaise wo filhal har baat ko atche se jaan sake.
"Pehle caretaker tumhari maa aur chachi thi is sabki. Tumhari chachi ne ye aage Priyanka ko waris banaya jab Arjun ne mana kiya aur baad me Arjun maan gaya toh usko. Aisa he Rekha bahu ne kiya tumhare aur Ritu ke kehne par. Lekin is bailbudhi ne ye nayi will tayaar karwa di apne bhai aur mujhe jhanse me le kar. Rupali ki taraf bhi usne aisa he kiya hai jisme filhal toh sabkuch Arjun he dekh raha hai lekin kanooni haq saari jameen-jayedad ka sirf aur sirf tumhare naam hai. Main chahta hu ki tum ye 10 pratishat ka labh Anjali bitiya ke naam kar do is Narinder wali taraf ka. Power of attorney tumhare he naam hai jabtak Arjun 21 ka nahi ho jata.", Yaha Rameshwar ji ne Roshni-Raman ki bitiya ka naam liya toh Komal ko jaise halki si uljhan hui par usne jara bhi jaahir na kiya.
"Mujhe kyun aitraaj hoga bhala dada ji? Waise bhi mujhe is sabme koyi interest nahi hai. Arjun ne toh mujhse poocha tak nahi aisa karwane se pehle aur mujhe pata bhi abhi lag raha hai. Bataye kaha sign karne hai?"
"File ke aakhir me 2 aur page hai. Unhe atche se padh lo sign karne se pehle. Ab Arjun ne aisa kyun kiya hai ye toh wahi bata sakta hai. Usne mana nahi kiya sab sambhalne se aur wo dhyaan deta hai har baat par. Sabke account me time se unka hissa dena aur jaha bhi kisi ko jarurat ho toh waha apni taraf se badha dena. Koyi naya bhagidar judta hai toh Arjun khud he usko ek uchit hissa pradaan karta hai.", Rameshwar ji baat karte hue ye bhi dekh rahe the ki Komal kaise bina koyi sawaal kiye lekin bade dhyaan se un panno ko jaanch rahi thi. Padhne ke baad usne aage palta toh waha bhi ek naya kaagaj tha.
"Yaha toh Radhika Dutt likha hai dada ji. Matlab bhabhi ko bhi Arjun ne .."
"Nahi nahi beta. Wo kagaj toh naam me badlaav aur yaha ke pariwar me shamil karne ke liye hai. Radhika ab is ghar ki sadasya hai na toh lage hath maine ye kaagaj bhi tayaar karwa liye. Haan ek sign yaha peeche khali panne par bhi kar do. Waise tumne ye nahi poocha beti ki hum aisa kyun kar rahe hai? Kyun Roshni aur Anjali ko hum idhar se hissedari de rahe hai jabki tumhare chote dada ke pas bhi sampatti hai aur Roshni ke pati alag jayedad hogi.", Rameshwar ji aadatan aise sawaal kar he lete the lekin yaha unke saamne Sanjiv ya Arjun na the. Ye Komal thi jo be-wajah sawaal nahi karti thi. Aur agar wo karti toh sawaal ummeed se kahi jyada he bade hote.
"Wo bhi pariwar ke sadasya hai dada ji aur aapne aisa fainsla liya hai toh jarur wajah hogi he. Jab aapke hath kisi ki madad kar sake us vyakti ke bure samay me toh is se badh kar insaaniyat kya hogi. Waise bhi yaha hum sabko aapne jarurat se jyada he diya hai, apne liye kuch na rakhte hue.", Rameshwar ji gadgad ho chuke the apni is sushil pauti ke jawaab se aur Kaushalya ji bhi chai le kar yaha aa chuki thi.
"Inke pas fir bhi bahot hai beti. 25 hajaar se jyada toh inki pension aati hai aur PF par toh byaaj bhi wasool rahe hai ye bank se. Lekin teri baat bhi thik hai ki jab apne hath me 2 roti ho toh agar hum ek kisi jaruratmand ko de bhi de toh wo ek roti hamare liye 2 ke barabar he rahegi. Chai pee kar tu araam kar le, fir khaane ke baad ye log toh gappe hankne me lage rahenge lekin tu Arjun ko market le jana. Mahine bhar ke liye wo jaane wala hai toh garmi ke hisaab se uske liye sahi kapde kharid lena. Aur uski khurak badalni hai toh wo parchi bhi main tumhe de dungi. Teri chachi aur taai ab tayaar hai toh jo thoda bahot kaam bach gaya wo unhe karne de. Pichli taraf wale kamre se agar 3 4 baje ke pehle tu bahar dikhi toh fer soch liyo.", Kaushalya ji ne ye pyaar bhari ghudki dete hue ek cup chai ka apne pati ki taraf badha diya. Komal bhi file ek taraf rakh chai ka aananad lene lagi. Sawaal Pandit ji ke mann me bhi the aur Komal ke bhi lekin ye dono he dridh mastishk insaan khud pehal nahi karne wale the.

Madhuri lagbhag 10 baje he apne sasural pahuch gayi thi. Abhishek ji ke sath darjan bhar caro me khaas baraati bhi yaha tak aaye the. Waise toh inke yaha sirf 4 he log the jisme se ek Shilpa ji ka shishu aur hafte me 5 din bahar rehne wala Gorav. Lekin is bade ghar ki dekhrekh Abhishek ji ke 2 vishwaspatra aur unki 19 varshiya santaan poore dil se karte the. Mukhya imarat me kuch jyada he bade aangan ke baad 2 manjilo par kul 8 kamre, 2 bade hall, ek rasoi aur lagbhag har kamre se juda bathroom tha. Ghar ki dekhbhal aur Shilpa ji ki madad ke liye hamesha uplabdh rehne wali Nepali mool ki Barsha Thapa (37) thi aur ghar ke sath bahar ke kaam ke liye uska mehnati evam saral swabhav pati Pashupati Thapa (40). Inki eklauti santaan Kiran Thapa (19), snatak ke pratham varsh imtihaan de chuki thi aur padhai ke sath sath wo apni maa aur Shilpa ji ki uchit madad karti thi.
"Choti memsaab toh bilkul chaand hai Abhishek babu. Sach kehti thi Shilpa memsaab ki Gorav babu ki kismat he tej hai. Aaiye dulhan ji aur apne daahine paanv se kalash palat kar kadam rakhiye apne ghar me. Bhagwan sukh-samridhi banaye rakhe.", Aarti ka thaal liye Barsha ne dwaar par he Gorav aur Madhuri ki nazar utari. Taamra-kalash me bhare chawal bikher Madhuri ne apne kadam bhitar rakhe toh pehle se maujood darjan bhar mehmaano ne phool aur chawal barsate hue dono ka swagat kiya. Lekin iske sath sath Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ke sar se shagun vaar kar Barsha ko dete hue ulahana bhi diya.
"Kitne baar kahe aapse Barsha ki humko memsaab mat kaha kijiye. Abhishek aapke liye babu hai wo thik lekin hume aap didi kehti hai wahi kahiye. Aur wo natkhat Gungun kaha hai? Ab tabiyat thik hai uski?", Shilpa ji apne rishteydaro aur devar-devrani ko liye aangan me aayi toh Pashupati ne pehle he sabke baithne aur nashte ka intjaam kar rakha tha. 3 lakdi ke table par thande paani aur sharbat ke gilas saje the kuch mishthaan aur phal-namkeen ke sath. Aangan me chhaya ke liye waise toh aam ke 2 vriksh paryapt the lekin shaadi wale ghar me lagne wala laal shamiana bhi bharpoor chhaya banaye tha. Rasoi se chai-coffee ki tray liye ye ujle salwar kameej me jarurat se jyada he gori yuvti in logo ko dekh wo tray pas wale table par rakh lagbhag daudti hui Shilpa ji ke paas aa gayi.
"Bhabhi aap ne mera intjaar bhi nahi kiya? Maa aap toh bolna bhi mat ab mere sath. Awaaj toh laga sakti thi ki chhoti bhabhi ghar aa gayi hai?", Takriban 5 feet ki ye ladki jis tarah se adhikar jata rahi thi wo dekh Abhishek ji aur Shilpa ji ke chehre par thakaan ke bawjood aseem khushi thi.
"Tujhe dhoop lag jaati na Gungun isliye maine he mana kiya tha. Ab dekh tere saamne hai teri nayi bhabhi aur Gorav se neg bhi le le teri marji ka.", Abhishek ji ne sabhi mehmano ko baithne ki gujarish karne ke sath sath is ladki ke bhi sar ko laad se sehlate hue kaha.
"Neg nahi chahiye Abhishek bhaiya. Bukhar ki wajah se pehle he main shaadi me na ja saki aur fir nayi bhabhi ke sath gate pe pehli photo bhi khinchne se reh gayi. Atcha toh aap na abhi mere sath aao nayi bhabhi aur Gorav bhaiya aap bhi aa sakte ho.", Ye ladki lagbhag Madhuri ka hath khinchte hue usko wapis he le ja rahi thi aur Shilpa ji bhi hanste hue apne devar ko unke peeche le gayi. Baraat ke sath gaye photographer ka camera khud he Abhishek ji ne utha liya kyonki wo vyakti hath mooh dhone ke baad abhi paani peene laga tha.
"Bhaiya ji ye ladki toh pagal hai aur aap isko daantne ki jagah iski baat maan rahe ho.?", Pashupati gamche se apna chehra saaf karta hua ghar ke maalik ki bagal me he chal raha tha.
"Pashupati ji, jab aapko bhi pata hai ki Kiran hamare liye ghar ki pehli bachi hai toh ye toka toki mat he kijiye. Aap mehmano ko dekhiye aur hum jara is shaitaan ki tasiveer khinch le. Shukar hai ki ye itne me he maan rahi hai.", Lekin Abhishek ji ki soch he galat nikli jab Kiran ne ek ya 2 nahi lagbhag darjan photo utarwaai aur baad me toh apne maa-baap ko bhi shamil kiya jab photographer khud he idhar chala aaya. Aas-pados ke log dono dulha-dulhan ko shagun ke sath shubhkamnaye dene ke baad nashta karne lage the aur Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ka parichaya karwaya.
"Ye Barsha didi hai jo hamare ghar ko ghar banaye rakhti hai, bina humse koyi mehnat karwaye aur ye hamari laadli hai Gungun. Waise toh iska naam Kiran hai lekin har waqt bas ye filmy gaane gungunati rehti hai jis wajah se tumhare jeth ji ne iska naam he Gungun rakh diya. Gorav aur inke liye Gungun he ghar ki beti aur inki behan hai. Abhishek jab bhi ghar hote hai toh unki subah ki chai hamesha yahi banati hai. Aur Gungun abse tumhe apni nayi bhabhi ka poora dhyaan rakhna hai.", Madhuri ne bhi bade saleeke se Kiran ko apne sath laga kar prem darshaya.
"Wo toh sab thik hai lekin aap toh neg ke baare me kuch keh rahi thi? Main nayi bhabhi ko apne sath he le jaungi market toh wahi se aap mujhe Rani Mukherji wali jeans dilwa dena. College me bahot si ladkiyan pehanti hai lekin maa toh mujhe salwar kameej ke alawa kuch dilwati he nahi.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Madhuri ke chehre par bhi muskaan aa gayi. Abhishek ji ne beech me dakhal dete hue kaha.
"Abhi tumhari nayi bhabhi ko araam karne ke liye unke kamre me le jao Gungun. Hum khud he kal sabko market le chalenge. Jo dil kare wo le lena aur tumhari maa bhi nahi tokegi. Gorav tum bhi thoda araam kar lo.", Baat bhi sahi thi jo saari raat shaadi me vyast hone ke baad 4-5 ghante ka safar aur idhar ghanta bhar mehmano ke sath lagane ke baad sharir ko araam ki sakht jarurat thi. Gungun urf Kiran turant he apni maa ko aankh chidhati hui Madhuri ko liye pehli manzil par badh chali. Kamre niche bhi the lekin Gorav hamesha se he upar wali manzil par akela rehta tha. Pehle kamre ko paar karke dono agle kamre me dakhil hone lagi toh Kiran ne he bataya.
"Bhabhi, ye pehle wala kamra bhi Gorav bhaiya ka he hai lekin usme sirf kitabe he kitabe hai. Wo toh chutti par bhi aate hai toh din bhar kitabo me lage rehte hai. Haan thoda khelne bhi jaate hai club me lekin jyadatar computer ya kitabe. Ye kamra bada hai jo ab aapka hai. Isko maine he sajaya hai aur subah jo gaadi aayi thi us se samaan nikaal kar main in dono almaari me laga chuki hu. Haan ye aapke chain wale bag maine nahi khole kyunki ye aapka jaruri samaan hoga.", Madhuri ke ghar se dahej chahe na bhi aaya ho lekin uphaar aur baaki sab samaan pehle he pauch chuka tha. Kiran ki mehnat aur is saaf suthre bade kamre ko dekh Madhuri sehajta se muskuraai.
"Ye meri taraf se neg samajh kar rakh lo Gungun. Ghar me sabse chhoti tumhi ho toh mana matt karna. Aur idhar bathroom hai?", Madhuri ne niche mile shagun ke darjan lifafe bina jaanche he Kiran ke hawale kar diye the jo wo badi hairaani se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ne bathroom dekha toh wo lagbhag ek kamre jitna he bada tha aur bilkul saaf. Jaise wo aajkal me he banaya gaya ho ya aadhunik samaan usme lagwa kar durust kiya ho. Aisa bathroom unke ghar bhi tha lekin ye wala toh kamre ke bheetar uska neeji tha.
"Aapne dekha bhi hai bhabhi ke ye kitne rupaye honge? Maa mujhe bahot maaregi aur ye shagun aapke hai toh aap he rakhiye."
"Shilpa didi ko bata dena ki ye maine apni marji se tumhe diye hai. Wo sambhal lengi apne aap. Aur ye kitne hai is se kya farak padta hai? Tumhare kaam he aayenge toh samjhdari se prayog karna. Ab tum ijajat do toh kya main fresh ho kar thoda araam kar lu?", Madhuri abhi tak un bhari vastro me thi aur Gungun usko pasine me dekh apne sar pe hath marti hui remote ki taraf lapki.
"Ye Aircondition chalana bhi yaad nahi raha. Haan aap fresh ho kar araam kijiye. Waise bhi yaha jyada log nahi aate toh aapko pareshani nahi hogi. Gorav bhaiya bhi aa gaye shayad.", Kiran ne kadmo ki aahat sunn li thi jo bilkul sahi thi. Par Gorav akela nahi aaya tha. Uske sath Shilpa ji bhi thi jo apne bete ko niche sula kar aayi thi.
"Badi bhabhi ye nayi bhabhi ne apne aap he mujhe diye hai. Unhone dekha bhi nahi ki ye kitne hai. Maine lene se mana kiya tha.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Shilpa ji ne uska gaal khinchte hue kaha.
"Rakh le jab diye hai toh. Aur kitne hai ye toh tu he dekh jab tujhe diye hai. Bank me dalwa liyo agar jyada ho toh. Chal ab ja ke araam kar tu bhi. Bukhaar utra nahi ki teri masti shuru ho gayi. Madhuri, tumhe kuch bhi chahiye ho toh..Mujhse mat kehna. Ye ghar tumhara bhi hai toh kisi ko bhi bol sakti ho. Aur jaise dil kare waise rehna. Yaha koyi panchayti raaj nahi hai. Gorav, tum bhi kapde badal kar araam kar lo. Phir shaam ko dinner par inke kuch friends aane wale hai tum dono se milne. Madhuri, tumhara sab samaan Kiran ne laga diya hai Barsha ke sath mil kar. Dekh lena.", Shilpa jis tarah se muskura kar wapis gayi thi us par Madhuri ki toh najar nahi padi lekin Gorav jarur jhemp gaya. Phir wo bhi diwar me bani un almari ki taraf badhte hue bola.
"Madhuri, main bagal wale kamre me nahane ja raha hu. Tum chaho toh kamra band kar sakti ho."
"Aap naha ke aa jaiye aur darwaja bahar se he laga dijiyega. Ye aapka bhi kamra hai.", Madhuri ne Gorav se pehle he almari khol kar saleeke se lage Gorav ke kapdo se ek kurta-pyjama, toliya nikal kar najre jhukaye he uski aur badha diya. Gorav ke gambhir chehre par halki si muskaan aayi thi ye dekh ki abhi Madhuri ko aaye chand ghante he hue hai aur wo patni wale karya karne lagi hai.
"Wo mere underwears main khud le leta hu.", Gorav aage badha toh almari ke dono pallo ke beech ab wo Madhuri ke sharir se bilkul satt kar ek daraaj se katcha-baniyaan nikalne laga. Na chahte hue bhi dono ke sharir me halka gharshan hua tha aur Madhuri ka wo vishal ubhaar ek taraf se Gorav ki kohni ko chho gaya. Madhuri ko abhi tak apne jism par sirf Arjun ka he sparsh anubhav tha lekin Gorav uska pati tha jo ek tarah se jiwanbhar ab uske sath bister sanjha karne wala tha. Chehre par halki si laali aur sharam aa he gayi thi is sparsh se. Gorav ko jab uske wo kapde na mile toh Madhuri ne jhuk kar bagal wali daraaj ko dekha. Ab dono miya biwi ek jaisi mudra me the aur Gorav toh sab bhool kar bas us kudrat ke hunar ko nihar raha tha. Madhuri ke chikne bhare bhare gaal, chehre par khaas chamak ke sath naak me bali aur gaal se latakti wo baalo ki ghumavdar latt. Madhuri ne dono vastra nikal liye toh najre aapas me takraai. Gorav hichkichata hua palat kar seedha ho gaya.
"Thank you."
"Welcome.", Madhuri ke jawaab ko sunn kar wo jaane se pehle achanak he uske gaal ko sehla kar kamre se nikal gaya. Wo bhi Gorav ki is harkat par kuch pal hairaan hui fir sar jhatakte hue boli.
'Khud he keh rahe the ki tum shaadi se mana kar do aur ab janaab ke chehre ki khushi kal se kuch aur bata rahi hai.', Madhuri apne kapde bhi le kar us bathroom me ghus gayi. Araam karne se pehle naha lena jaruri tha. Aur jabtak wo bathroom se naha kar salwar kameej me kamre me aayi darwaja band he tha lekin bister par Gorav jarur karwat ke bal leta dikha. Shayad wo thakne ki wajah se jald he so gaya tha jaisa Madhuri ko prateet hua. Aaine me khud ko sanwarne ke baad usne pehle Gorav ko chaadar di kamre me thandak ki wajah se aur fir khud bhi ek taraf ke khali hisse me Gorav ki taraf peeth karke leit gayi. Nayi jagah aur apne bhare-poore pariwar se dur Madhuri ko ab is bister par neend nahi aa rahi thi. Bagal me soya vyakti bas aaj he toh zindagi me aaya tha aur aise dhero vichar liye Madhuri ne 3-4 baar karwat li.
"Tum thik ho na Madhuri? Jaanta hu ke tumhe andar he andar ye ajeeb lag raha hoga. Ek naya pariwar aur upar se ghar se dur. Maa ji (Lalita) ne bataya tha ke tum apne jiwan me kabhi bhi ghar se dur nahi rahi ho. Waha hain bhi toh dher saare behan bhai jinke bina tumhe aisa lagna jayaj bhi hai. Jiwan me bahot kuch pehli baar he hota hai Madhuri aur jaruri nahi ke wo bura he ho. Dhire dhire se he sahi lekin kadam badhane se hum ek waisa he sansaar bana sakte hai. Apna sansaar, jaisa tumhe pasand hai.", Gorav ne aisa kehte hue Madhuri ke sar ko halke hatho se sehlaya toh wo badi badi aankhon se ab pehli baar is vyakti ko gor se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ko yu khamosh khud ki taraf dekhta pa kar Gorav ne haami bhari.
"Main tayaar nahi tha Madhuri jaisa maine pehli mulakaat par bataya tha tumhe ki tum mana kar do. Bhaiya ne apne liye kabhi kuch nahi kiya aur shaadi hone baad bhi unki prathmikta sirf main aur hamare pita ka khoya naam wapis banana he the. Mujhe kabil banane ke liye unhone kabhi khud par dhyaan nahi diya aur jab unhone chaha ki ye ghar aur bhi pahle-phule toh maine ek aashanka ki wajah se tumhe wo kaha tha. Mujhe darr tha ki kahi meri wajah se tumhara jiwan bematlab me na kharaab ho. Par main galat tha Madhuri. Pariwar badhne se samsyaye khatam hoti hai aur ekakipan sirf khud ko tasalli dena bhar hai. Sabhi khush the is shaadi me jabki unhe toh kuch mil bhi nahi raha tha. Wo naseebwala main tha jiske liye sabhi khush the aur mujhe tum mili ho. Sapno pe kaam karna toh nahi rokunga lekin tumhe bhi shikayat nahi hone dunga. Mujhse pehle is ghar ko tumhari jarurat hai. Bhabhi ko tumhari jarurat hai Madhuri aur sabko. Itminaan se bas araam karo aur ye khayaal nikal do apne dil se ki tum nayi jagah ho. Ye tumhari jagah hai.", Gorav ne jis tarah se lagatar sar sehlate hue Madhuri se apne jajbaat jaahir kiye the wo kuch sarak kar apne pati ke kareeb ho gayi. Iske baad kuch jyada baat na hui dono me aur is baar Madhuri bhi chain se so gayi. Goarav ne beech me thoda fansla fir barkarar kiya aur usko bhi jyada samay na laga.

Shankar ghar se toh hospital me kaam ka bol kar nikle the lekin ye jagah kisi bhi surat me hospital jaisi nahi thi. Shehar ke agle bypass par bana ye aalishan hotel aur uske bahar se bhitar tak ki ati-vishisht suraksha kuch aur he kahani bayaan karti thi. Yaha is samay me kisi bhi rahgir ko rukne ki saaf manahi thi aur wajah saaf thi. Hotel me pravesh karte he kuch mehngi caro ka kafila aur unke beech wo ekmatra sadharan esteem car. Ye vyaktitva apne aap me ek he tha aur wo tha Dr Shankar Sharma. Hotel me aaj ye mehtvapurn mulakaat is bade hall me ho rahi thi jaha kisi waiter tak ko jaane ki manahi thi. Service ka bhaar bhi suraksh dekhne walo par he tha. 23-24 log is hall me maujood the jinme se sirf 3 he yaha se sambandh rakhte the. Dr Shankar, Dr Dharamvir Sangwan aur Delhi se padhare Shriman Raunaklal. Baaki 20 logo me se jyadatar coat-pant pehne manager jaise ya karobari the aur sirf 3 log thik in teeno ke saamne. Ek hatta katta 35 barash ka pehalwan sa yuvak jiske gaal kashimiri seb se laal aur sharir daitya sa. Dusra gambhir, mehngi safed kameej pehne darmiyane se kad ka ghungrale baal wala lekin sabse robila adhed aur unke beech baitha wo 55-60 baras ka ek sant-bheshbhusha wala lekin inka mukhiya. Gale me rudraaksh ki mala, hath me sone ki janjire aur sharir fakk safed varstro me.
"Ye Raunaklal jis marji sarkaar me ho lekin isko hamari taqat ka atche se pata hai. Aur tum Dharamvir Sangwan, kehne ko toh is Shankar ke shikshak ho aur kuch chhote mote hospital ke maalik lekin bewajah bahot si jagah tum apni taang adaane se baaj nahi aate. Khair tum bhi yaha isliye bulaye gaye ho ki Delhi aur uske najdeek hamare 5 hospital me apni sewa de sako. Jagah hamari hogi, paisa Raunaklal aur tum barabar lagaoge. Haan ye Gajendra Bhalla jaise chhuttbhaiya ke sath kaam tum dono nahi karoge.", Us adhed se ghungrale baalo walo ne cigar ko jalane se pehle thoda mooh me daba kar toda aur fir jalane ke baad apni baat kahi. Jinhe wo naam se pukar raha tha wo dono he uske baap ki umar ke the. Is vyakti ka naam tha Suryavir Singh Rana, S.V. group of companies ka maalik aur desh videsh me khaase rasookh wala. Shankar iski baat ko darkinaar karte hue itminaan se kaali coffee ki chuskiyan le raha tha.
"Mere pas 10 hospital hai Rana aur mujhe nahi lagta ki mujhe filhal koyi naya kaam shuru karna chahiye.", Dharamvir Sangwan ke itne se jawaab par wo hatta katta sa aadmi nakhush dikha lekin Rana ne ishare se usko khamosh he rakha.
"Waise toh tumhari ye baat mere bhai ko nagawar gujri hai Dharavir lekin chalo tumhari ye pehli gustakhi hai aur doctor ke sath tum ek shikshak bhi rahe ho isliye main tumhe maaf karta hu. Wo 10 hospital he toh tum hamare sath mila rahe ho. Unme se 5 hum band karenge aur baaki pahcho par paisa laga kar wo aalishan imarat tayaar karenge ki poore uttar bharat me phir unke samaan koyi hospital na hoga. Tumse kuch paisa waisa nahi le rahe aur na tumhari hasiyat hai ki trucko ke hisaab se tum hamara khajana bhar sako. Raunaklal, tumne samjhaya nahi tha kya isko? Mere har minute ki keemat 5 lakh hai.", Rana ke chehre par koyi gussa na tha lekin awaaj bata rahi thi ki usko guroor bhi tha aur wo taqatwar bhi.
"Fainsle Dharamvir bhai sahab nahi lete Rana sahab. Shankar he adhikarik maalik hai share ke hisaab se aur Gajendra Bhalla ke sath Delhi me naye vypaar ka bada bhagidar bhi. Kaha kaam karna hai, kya kaam karna hai aur kiske sath karna hai ye sirf Shankar he taye karta hai aur agar Shankar uplabdh na ho toh Umed Singh.", Raunaklal Delhi me rasookhwala tha lekin yaha toh wo bhi is aadmi ko 'ji' ke sath sambodhit kar raha tha. Shankar abhi bhi diary par kuch likhta hua wo kali coffee me laga raha.
"Shankar. Dr Shankar Sharma suputra Rameshwar Sharma. Iska baap police afsar tha jo ab retired hai? 3 bhai aur ek behan. Patni se 3 aulaad jinme sabse chota ek ladka baaki dono ladkiyan. Chhota mota gunda bhi hai ye safed kapdo ke peeche lekin isko itni bhi kya ehmiyat de rakhi hai Dharamvir jo ye maalik bana hua hai? Aur Raunaklal, tum toh jaante ho mere bhai ke saamne sabhi gundo ki patloon kaise gili ho jaati hai. Ye chhote mote shehar wale bas gali mohalle me apne baap ke naam par 2-3 ke hath paanv todd kar raub jama lete hai. Yaha saamne wala awaaj baad me karta hai, pehle uske maathe ke beech bindi bann jaati hai.", Rana jaise bol raha tha uske darjan bhar coat-pant pehne wo chaddam gunde daant dikhane lage.
"21 minute hue hai aur is hisaab se tumhari nautanki ke hue 85 lakh. Ye toh kuch jyada he ho gaye lekin chalo tum yaha aaye ho toh khali hath toh nahi bhejunga tumhe. Ye cheque bana diya hai maine aur agar tumhe isko bhunane me koyi pareshani hai toh meri gaadi me ek crore pada hai.", Shankar pen aur cheque liye maje se tehalta hua table ke dusri taraf un teeno ke peeche ja ruka lekin uski jubaan sunn kar Rana ka chehra laal ho chuka tha. Uska wo pehalwan gunda bhai bhi akad kar kuch kehne he laga tha lekin us se pehle Shankar ne wo cheque Rana ke mooh par de mara aur pen us pehalwan ke kandhe me, jo shayad mehnga tha ispaat se bana hua. Lagbhag aadha pen us gainde jaise aadmi ke kandhe ki nichli haddi ke barabar se sharir me ghuss chuka tha. Koyi bhi harkat me aata us se pehle Shankar ka pasandida hathiyar is haal me chamak raha tha jo Rana ke bhai ke gale par tika tha.
"Randi ki aulaad saale yaha ek chutiya gandmare ko apna swami bana kar aa pahuche. Aur inhe lagta hai ki 5000 crore ki dalali karke ye maadarchod kisi ke bhi sar par mootne lagenge. Aye Raunaklal uncle. Inhe bataya nahi tha kya ke meri fees kya hai?", Shankar ne pen wala hath hata liya tha lekin uski kohni ki giraft itni majboot thi ki wo gainda tass se mass na ho saka.
"Tum kar kya rahe ho? Virendra ko chhod do aur hum tumhari saja kam kar denge.", Rana ke sath sath uski bagal me baithe bujurg ko bhi is vatanukalit hall me paseene aa chuke the. Shankar ne cigrattee nikal kar ek hath se he pehle mooh par lagaai aur fir usi hath se lighter jala kar sulga li. Table ke saamne baithe Sangwan ji aur Raunaklal muskura rahe the.
"3 baatein bata deta hu main tumhe Rana. Ek toh ye ki agar Shankar ne apni fees kabhi bataai hai toh mareej zinda nahi bacha lekin ye fees le kar rehta hai. Dusri baat, inke pita ke naam ke sath Pandit ji lagao ya kam se kam ji toh laga he lo aur shikshak bhi iske liye pita samaan hai toh ye unka kabhi anadar nahi hone deta. Aksar aise logo ki ye kalam pakadne wali ungli aur angootha kaat deta hai. Lekin tum nischint raho kyonki ye ghar aaye logo ki pehli baar me jaan nahi leta. Aur teesri baat jo ki tumhe sabse jyada yaad rakhni chahiye thi, galti se bhi lakkadbaggo ke jhund ko shero ki maand me nahi ghusna chahiye. Shankar akela he sher nahi hai idhar lekin yahi akela tumhari maand me ghuss kar har pille ki saans rok dega.", Dr Dharamvir Sangwan apni jagah se uth kar khade ho gaye the. Rana ko wo majboot sa bhai ladkhada raha tha kamjor pakad aur behte hue khoon ki wajah se. Shankar ke sharir ko dekh kar Rana ne uska aankalan bahot galat he lagaya tha. Lekin guroor fir bhi thoda bhari ha us par.
"Dekh rahe ho Dharamvir yaha kitne log hai? Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar aur maafi maang lo. Main jarurat se jyada dayavaan hu toh tumhe saja me sirf itna he karna hoga ki kabhi bhi Delhi ka rukh matt karna. Aur haan Raunaklal, tumhe ab dugni penalty lagegi.", Rana andar he andar apne bhai ki haalat dekh tilmila raha tha aur uske kareeb baitha wo bujurg uske kaan me kuch kehne ki koshshi karna chahta tha lekin is mahol me jaise sabka dhyaan Shankar par he tha.
"Ye milawat wala beej hai chacha, na sudharne wala. Waise tum Delhi ki baat kar rahe the na Rana toh saja sunn lo. Delhi me najar matt aana aainda kyonki main aaj he shaam Delhi ke liye nikalne wala hu. Jisko tum gundo ka shehjada bata rahe ho ye ladkiyon wala powder khila kar bada kiya hai tumne, isko main apne paas he rakhunga. Haan iska dhadd le kar ja sakte ho jab tumhare ye baaki lakadbagghe is hotel se 10 kos dur ja chuke ho.", Shankar ne thaan liya tha ke wo is pehalwan ko zinda nahi chhodne wala.
"Shankar Virendra ko zinda jaane do. Baat badh sakti hai. Rana ke pita.."
"Raunaklal ji, is gandmare ke baap pita aur mere papa? Unhone hamesha sikhaya hai ke apni ijjatt apne hath. Aap kya chahte ho main apne karam se na-insaafi karke ye operation blade wapis jeb me rakh lu.?", Ab Raunaklal ke sath sath Rana aur us bujurg ke bhi gotte mooh me aa gaye the. Shankar ka chehra tamtama raha tha aur us blade ki pakad jyada majboot dikhne lagi.
"Baat yahi khatam karte hai aur iske badle hum ek aur meeting rakhenge. Is taraf ki Delhi tumhari aur udhar ki hamari. Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar nahi toh yaha se koyi bhi zinda nahi jaane wala. Main apni baat ka pakka hu aur aaj pehli baar saamne wali ki baat maan raha hu. Mere bhai ko chhod do..", Rana na uth pa raha tha aur na he wo apne aadmiyon ko aadesh de saka. Shankar sirf Dharamvir ji ko he dekh raha tha jo muskurate hue khamoshi se is manjar ko jehan me sametne lage.
"Wo aisa hai Rana ki Shankar mera sabse kabil beta hai isliye ye akela 40 pratishat ka maalik hai aur mere baaki teen lafange 60% ke barabar bhagidar. Tum soch rahe ho ke bahar tumhari suraksha hai lekin wo tumhari soch hai. Ab waha sirf hum hai aur jo ye naumne garmi me bhi coat pant pehne baithe hai ya toh ye yaha se khamoshi se nikal jaaye nahi toh wo log andar aaye toh main Raunaklal ki baat se bhi ittefaaq nahi rakhne wala. Delhi me ab 5 hospital banenge aur wo sabhi tumhari jagah par jisme tumhara koyi hissa nahi hone wala kyonki tum na toh idhar ki taraf dikhoge aur na he udhar ki taraf. Ye kaagaz hai tumhari un jagah ke aur ye NOC hai. Keemat tumhari zindagi. Sign kar do.", Sangwan ji ne file aise khiskaai thi ki wo seedha Rana ke saamne ja ruki. Wo toh hairaan sa apni he jameen ke kaagaj dekh raha tha jinke sahi sahi kaagaj ye log pehle se he liye the.
"Aise kya dekh raha hai bhosdike? Mera bhai pehle pehle kaagaj banwata hai fir uske maalik ko bulwata hai. Shukar kar Inder yaha nahi aaya. Chal pen chala nahi toh..", Shankar ne itna kehne ke sath blade ka dabaav banaya toh Virendra Rana ke gale se patli se khoon ki dhaar risne lagi aur hall me dakhil hue Bhuppi, Deepak, Daleep aur Rajesh ke sath 4 log. Sabhi ke hath me swachalit tamanche chamak rahe the muskurahat ke sath.
"Matlab Raunaklal, tumne ye jaal bichhaya tha?"
"Bhosdike maine bola na mere bhai ne kiya tha ye sab. Usko Punjab me maja nahi aa raha tha aur main sarkari doctor hu isliye Delhi me kya karunga.? Haan un dono ko Delhi chahiye thi aur ye 100-200 crore wale kaam nahi karne the. Is chakkar me Sangwan chacha ne bola ke unhe ab kuch bade hospita bhi waha banane padenge toh tujhse milne aa gaye. Tu harek ko chutiya samajh raha tha aur yahi tujhse galti ho gay. Chal sign kar aur nikal. Iske badle main sachmuch tere bhai ko sabut saunp dunga.", Baaki sabhi ko Daleep and party ne ek ek karke chalta kar diya tha. Shankar ki baahon me Virendra toh kabka behosh he ho chuka tha jiski haalat dekh Rana ne bina dekhe sabhi kagajo par lagatar hastakshar kar diye.
"Mere bhai ko chhod do aur main Delhi se dur rahunga."
"Wo toh tu rahega he lekin tera baap.. Sorry tumhare aadarniya pita ji thode dheeth hai. Tum mujhe meri kundli aadhi adhuri bata rahe the na toh us se pehle jara apne pita ji se mere papa ke baare me pooch lete. Vir Singh Rana ki patloon geeli ho jaati us naam se agar tumne Pandit ji bol diya hota toh. Aye Deepak, is swami ke thik beech me goli maar. Swarg se pehle ye ruka na toh tujhe dekhne ke liye peeche bhejunga.", Shankar ki garjana khatam bhi nahi hui thi ki silencer lagi pistol se bas pitt ki awaaj aayi aur wo rudrakshdhari Swami kursi par ludhak gaya. Khoon ke chhinte Rana ke chehre par bhi gire the jis se wo seham kar hairat se sabko dekh raha tha. Shankar ne Rana ke bhai ka sharir jameen par girate hue swami ki gardan utha kar bade he gor se wo goli ka nishaan dekha jaha se khoon behta hua table ko bhigo raha tha.
"Ye swarg se bhi aage gaya beta. Tu toh champion ho gaya Deepak center point ka. Chal Rana tujhe main poore 5 minute de raha hu aur agar utni der me tu apne bhai ko le kar yaha se nikal gaya toh tum dono zinda rahoge nahi toh gate yaha se 250 gaj dur hai aur tumhari laash is sarhad me he kisi bagiche me dafan milegi.", Shankar ki baat sunn kar Rana ne pehle toh hall ko dekha jaha ab uska koyi bhi aadmi nahi tha lekin yaha jitne the sabke hatho me hathiyar. Uska bhai jo sharir me us se dugna tha wo murchhit pada tha. Rana ne jaise taise usko uthane ki bharpoor koshish ki lekin sawa 100 kilo se jyada ka wo pehalwan tass se mass na hua. Rana ke chehre se pasina paani ki tarah farsh par jaldi he girne laga aur samay teji se kam hota gaya.
"2 minute", Daleep ke itna kehte he Rana ne apne bhai ko wahi chhoda aur bahar ki taraf daud laga di.
"Jaane doge isko Shankar?"
"Haan chacha isko toh jaane he dunga. Abhi toh ye bahot kaam aane wala hai jaisa Inder ne kaha tha. Ye Virendra ko apne kabje me rakhna hai hume isliye mujhe aisa karna pada. Bhuppi iski atche se khaatir karna aur jo bhi chahiye ho wo muhaiyya karwana. Aapne atcha kaam kiya Raunaklal uncle aur baaki sab ne bhi.", Shankar ne paani ki bottle utha kar ek lamba ghoont bhara toh uske kareeb aa khade hue Dharamvir ji ne bade he sneh se kandha thapthapaya.
"Aaj pehli baar dekha ke mera Shankar shikaar karne ka riwaaj seekh raha hai. Mujhe toh laga tha yaha 20-25 laash girne wali hai lekin wo hero shayad kuch badal sa gaya.", Unki baat sunn kar Raunaklal ne bhi gardan haan me hilaai.
"Ye sahi kaha aapne bhai sahab. Mujhe bhi laga tha ke aaj inke sath sath hum log bhi swag-sidharne wale hai. Aur Shankar ki herogiri se toh khud Pandit ji bhi darte hai."
"Baat aisi hai ki mere dono bhai (Umed-Narinder) ne mujhe bataya tha yaha aane se pehle. Unka kehna tha ki jaruri nahi ki khoon bematlab bahaya jaaye agar kaam baaton se ho sakta ho toh. Us janwar ko bacha kar rakho us din ke liye jab khoon jyada bahana pade. Vir Singh Rana se Inder khud milna chahta hai wo bhi papa ki taraf se aur aise maslo ke beech Shankar kabhi nahi aata."
"Toh is swami ko kyun mara?"
"Maine mara? Main kaun hota hu chacha ji kisi ko maarne wala? Deepak tadaf raha tha rivolver liye aur mujhse ye dekha na gaya toh iske nishane ki pariksha leni chahi maine. Waise ye Sharman Muni tha, hawala wala aur iske jaane se Vir Singh Rana ke hath ab aadhe toh katt chuke hai. Ye pehli mulakaat atchi rahi Rana pariwar ke sath aur ab main ghar ja kar apne bete ko surprise dena chahta hu.", Shankar ne wo cigrattee joote ke niche daba kar bujhane ke baad apne blade aur hatheli ko paani se wahi saaf kiya.
"Toh aaj tum Arjun ke sath waqt bitane wale ho?", Rajesh ne ye kaha tha jo apne jija ke sath he aage chalne laga. Sangwan ji us file ko liye Raunaklal ko kuch samjha rahe the hanste hue aur baaki logo ne us swami ki lash ko thikane lagane ke liye ek kapde me lapet liya. Rajesh ke sath Daleep bhi tha.
"Mera beta hai Rajesh wo aur usko bhi chahat rehti hai ki main usko apni bagal me baitha kar thoda ghumau firau. Waise bhi usne mujhse apni maa ke liye bahot sawaal kiye the aur jab usne apni maa ka hath dekha toh mujhe jis tarah apne gale lagaya wo sirf main he mehsoos kar sakta hu. Ek mahine ke liye wo ghar se dur jaane wala hai. Mujhe bhi kami khalegi he uski chahe main ghar pe utna nahi rehta.", Daleep bade gor se Shankar ko dekh raha tha jo chalte hue apne bete ko yaad karke jis tarah khush tha wo sachmuch Shankar ki khaas muskaan thi, ek gehri muskaan kisi nischall pyaar ki.
"Jija maine toh aapko kabhi itne sensitive hote nahi dekha. Aur wo bas ek mahine ke liye ja raha hai jabki pehle bhi wo 8-9 saal ghar se dur raha tha. Waise atchi baat hai ki aap usko samajhte ho."
"8-9 saal nahi Rajesh 8 saal 137 din ya fir yun kahu ki 3060 din toh behtar rahega. Ye maine pehle nahi jana tha ke hum itne dur rahe hai. Kuch din pehle he maine ginti ki thi ki mera beta mujhse kitne samay dur raha. Uska mehatva mujhe thoda deri se pata chala lekin ek wahi hai jo papa ke sansaar ki neev barkaraar rakh sakta hai. Abhi yaha se jaate he main usko apne sath market le jaane wala hu. Ritu-Alka bhi jaayengi he lekin main chahta hu ki tu aur Daleep bhi mere sath chalo. Tu Rekha, Rupali, Aarti aur Komal ko le chalna. Daleep apne sath Manju, Pinki, Krishna aur Inder ko. Umed bhi tayaar milega.", Shankar ke aisa kehne par Daleep ko kuch khatka sa hua Manju ka naam sunn kar.
"Wo baaki log?"
"Jo araam karna chahte hai unhe karne de na yar aur Sanjiv ko bhi toh time dena hai. Baaki bhabhi aur Raju bhai ne behno ke sath geet he gaane hai Sanjiv Radhika ke. Main chahta hu ke kisi ko ye na lage ki wo Arjun ke sath samay nahi bita saka. Khaane ka bil aaj meri sasural ki taraf se."
"Hahaha.. jija. Meri he gaand maar li na?"
"Rajesh darling, isko gaand maarna nahi sewa ka mauka dena kehte hai. Teri he toh khushi badha raha hu main.", Shankar ki baat ka arth samajh kar Rajesh uske gale lag gaya.
"Didi ke liye."
"Haan teri didi ke liye. Wo chahti hai ki tu us se milne special ghar aaye. Chal fir aaj yahi gift sahi.", Shankar ne aisa kehne ke sath Rajesh ko peeche aane ka ishara diya Daleep ke sath aur esteem nikaal kar ghar ki taraf badh chala. Yaha wo suraksha ab hawa ho chuki thi jiske dum par S.V. Rana mulakaat karne aaya tha.
awesome update hai Enigma bhai,Update 193 (1)
Pehli Mulakaat
Din ke 11 bajne tak yaha jyadatar log bister tyaag chuke the. Rekha he ekmatra stree thi jo abhi tak soyi thi aur uski wajah bhi sabko pata thi isliye koshshih rakhi gayi ki unke aaspas koyi awaaj na ho. Poore ghar me Kaushalya ji aur Rameshwar ji ke alawa koyi aur aisa tha jo ek pal bhi na soya tha wo Komal thi. Apni daadi ko khabar lagne se pehle he wo rasoi ke sara kaam nibta chuki thi aur dono kaamwali bai se poore ghar ki atchi tarah safaai bhi karwa di thi. Kaushalya ji rasmo ki tayaari karne ke baad aangan me aayi toh paseene se lathpath aur sabse bepawah si Komal ko rasoi ki garmi me ulajhte dekh kuch gambhir ho gayi.
"Matt bann dusri Rekha aur ye sharir hai na iski bhi seema hoti hai bitiya. Itna matt ghisao ke bhavishya me ye jaldi sath chhod de. Waise yaha se itni mehak kaise aa rahi hai?", Kaushalya ji ne apne pallu se he Komal ka chehra saaf karne ke baad chulhe par sikti wo bharwa bhindi dekh li thi par puchne ki mansha kuch aur bhi thi.
"Oh daadi aap bhi na. Na toh main kabhi aap jitna kaam kar sakti hu aur na he maa ki tarah. Parso aap he toh keh rahi thi ki nayi bahu ghar aaye toh chulhe par sabse pehle meetha he bann na chahiye.? Kheer tayaar kar rahi thi toh laga ki sabhi log halwai wala khana khaate hue pareshan na ho gaye ho. Ye amchoor wali bhindi dada ji ke sath sath chacha ji ko bhi pasand hai aur safed chhole ke sath chawal Sanjiv bhaiya ko. Aapne bhi kal thik se khana nahi khaya tha aur subah se ek cup chai ke alawa kuch liya bhi nahi. Gali me Gyaan uncle aaye the sabji le kar toh aapke liye ajwaain wali torai banai hai, bina jyada masale ke. Bas abhi maal-pooye baaki hai jo garam he thik rahenge parosne."
"Bas bas.. Paagal kahi ki. Wo bahar machine bhi tune he lagaai hogi?", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Komal ko jaise yaad aaya ki wo aakhiri chakkar ke kapde nikalne bhool gayi hai is sabme.
"Oh daadi. Main aati hu abhi kapde nikal kar. Galti se bhool gayi."
"Bas beta tu baith yaha. Maine kar di band aur wo kapde sukhane wo dono kaamwali chhat par bhej bhi di. Tujhe kya padi thi ye sab karne ki? Aaj he kapde bhi dho diye?", Komal ko apne sath liye wo wapis kamre me aa gayi thi. Chulha band tha ab sabji pakne se. Unke bister par ek taraf Shalini soyi hui thi aur uski bagal me Muskaan. Jisko bhi jaha jagah dikhi thi wo thakaan se wahi so gaya tha.
"Daadi, abhi lage hath kaam ho gaya na. Baad me jyada kaam ikattha ho jata aur mehmaan bhi chal-fir rahe hote. Mujhe yahi time thik laga aur baaki sabko araam ki jarurat bhi thi. Aap bhi toh aane ke baad nahi soyi.", Komal ne ek baar kamre me dakhil hote apne dada ji ko dekha jo ab tayaar ho chuke the.
"Ki gal ho rahi hai dono daadi pauti de vich?", Kursi laga kar wo bhi yahi baith gaye. Unke hath me ek file thi jo filhal band he rakhe hue the.
"Ye pagal araam karne ki jagah sara kaam akele he nibta chuki. Main isko yahi samjha rahi thi ki sabki aadatein itni na bigade ki kal ko unke sath sath hume bhi pareshani ho. Saaf-safaai karwane ke sath kapde aur khana tak kar diya is ladki ne akele. Kal subah 4 baje ki uthi hui hai.", Kaushalya ji ki baat sunn kar Rameshwar ji ne bade he sneh se Komal ke sar pe hath firate hue kaha.
"Thanedarni ji aap hum teeno ke liye chai he bana lo. Itne main meri is Annapurna ki khabar he le lu.", Kaushalya ji apne pita aur pauti ke sneh ko dekh muskurati hui khadi ho gayi. Komal khud ye karna chahti thi lekin apne dada ji ki baat par gor karte hue wo unhe prashanvachak nigah se he dekhne lagi. Kaushalya ji ke jaate he unhone wo file Komal ke saamne kar di. Hare gatte ki file khol kar Komal ne pehle toh un stamp paper ko sarsari nigah se dekha aur uske baad bina kuch kahe wo agle 2 page padhne lagi.
"Mujhe kya karna hai isme dada ji? Waise is par mere signature nahi hai aur iske baare me toh mujhe aapne ya daadi ne bhi nahi bataya.", Komal ne file ko bister par ek taraf rakh diya tha jaise wo filhal har baat ko atche se jaan sake.
"Pehle caretaker tumhari maa aur chachi thi is sabki. Tumhari chachi ne ye aage Priyanka ko waris banaya jab Arjun ne mana kiya aur baad me Arjun maan gaya toh usko. Aisa he Rekha bahu ne kiya tumhare aur Ritu ke kehne par. Lekin is bailbudhi ne ye nayi will tayaar karwa di apne bhai aur mujhe jhanse me le kar. Rupali ki taraf bhi usne aisa he kiya hai jisme filhal toh sabkuch Arjun he dekh raha hai lekin kanooni haq saari jameen-jayedad ka sirf aur sirf tumhare naam hai. Main chahta hu ki tum ye 10 pratishat ka labh Anjali bitiya ke naam kar do is Narinder wali taraf ka. Power of attorney tumhare he naam hai jabtak Arjun 21 ka nahi ho jata.", Yaha Rameshwar ji ne Roshni-Raman ki bitiya ka naam liya toh Komal ko jaise halki si uljhan hui par usne jara bhi jaahir na kiya.
"Mujhe kyun aitraaj hoga bhala dada ji? Waise bhi mujhe is sabme koyi interest nahi hai. Arjun ne toh mujhse poocha tak nahi aisa karwane se pehle aur mujhe pata bhi abhi lag raha hai. Bataye kaha sign karne hai?"
"File ke aakhir me 2 aur page hai. Unhe atche se padh lo sign karne se pehle. Ab Arjun ne aisa kyun kiya hai ye toh wahi bata sakta hai. Usne mana nahi kiya sab sambhalne se aur wo dhyaan deta hai har baat par. Sabke account me time se unka hissa dena aur jaha bhi kisi ko jarurat ho toh waha apni taraf se badha dena. Koyi naya bhagidar judta hai toh Arjun khud he usko ek uchit hissa pradaan karta hai.", Rameshwar ji baat karte hue ye bhi dekh rahe the ki Komal kaise bina koyi sawaal kiye lekin bade dhyaan se un panno ko jaanch rahi thi. Padhne ke baad usne aage palta toh waha bhi ek naya kaagaj tha.
"Yaha toh Radhika Dutt likha hai dada ji. Matlab bhabhi ko bhi Arjun ne .."
"Nahi nahi beta. Wo kagaj toh naam me badlaav aur yaha ke pariwar me shamil karne ke liye hai. Radhika ab is ghar ki sadasya hai na toh lage hath maine ye kaagaj bhi tayaar karwa liye. Haan ek sign yaha peeche khali panne par bhi kar do. Waise tumne ye nahi poocha beti ki hum aisa kyun kar rahe hai? Kyun Roshni aur Anjali ko hum idhar se hissedari de rahe hai jabki tumhare chote dada ke pas bhi sampatti hai aur Roshni ke pati alag jayedad hogi.", Rameshwar ji aadatan aise sawaal kar he lete the lekin yaha unke saamne Sanjiv ya Arjun na the. Ye Komal thi jo be-wajah sawaal nahi karti thi. Aur agar wo karti toh sawaal ummeed se kahi jyada he bade hote.
"Wo bhi pariwar ke sadasya hai dada ji aur aapne aisa fainsla liya hai toh jarur wajah hogi he. Jab aapke hath kisi ki madad kar sake us vyakti ke bure samay me toh is se badh kar insaaniyat kya hogi. Waise bhi yaha hum sabko aapne jarurat se jyada he diya hai, apne liye kuch na rakhte hue.", Rameshwar ji gadgad ho chuke the apni is sushil pauti ke jawaab se aur Kaushalya ji bhi chai le kar yaha aa chuki thi.
"Inke pas fir bhi bahot hai beti. 25 hajaar se jyada toh inki pension aati hai aur PF par toh byaaj bhi wasool rahe hai ye bank se. Lekin teri baat bhi thik hai ki jab apne hath me 2 roti ho toh agar hum ek kisi jaruratmand ko de bhi de toh wo ek roti hamare liye 2 ke barabar he rahegi. Chai pee kar tu araam kar le, fir khaane ke baad ye log toh gappe hankne me lage rahenge lekin tu Arjun ko market le jana. Mahine bhar ke liye wo jaane wala hai toh garmi ke hisaab se uske liye sahi kapde kharid lena. Aur uski khurak badalni hai toh wo parchi bhi main tumhe de dungi. Teri chachi aur taai ab tayaar hai toh jo thoda bahot kaam bach gaya wo unhe karne de. Pichli taraf wale kamre se agar 3 4 baje ke pehle tu bahar dikhi toh fer soch liyo.", Kaushalya ji ne ye pyaar bhari ghudki dete hue ek cup chai ka apne pati ki taraf badha diya. Komal bhi file ek taraf rakh chai ka aananad lene lagi. Sawaal Pandit ji ke mann me bhi the aur Komal ke bhi lekin ye dono he dridh mastishk insaan khud pehal nahi karne wale the.

Madhuri lagbhag 10 baje he apne sasural pahuch gayi thi. Abhishek ji ke sath darjan bhar caro me khaas baraati bhi yaha tak aaye the. Waise toh inke yaha sirf 4 he log the jisme se ek Shilpa ji ka shishu aur hafte me 5 din bahar rehne wala Gorav. Lekin is bade ghar ki dekhrekh Abhishek ji ke 2 vishwaspatra aur unki 19 varshiya santaan poore dil se karte the. Mukhya imarat me kuch jyada he bade aangan ke baad 2 manjilo par kul 8 kamre, 2 bade hall, ek rasoi aur lagbhag har kamre se juda bathroom tha. Ghar ki dekhbhal aur Shilpa ji ki madad ke liye hamesha uplabdh rehne wali Nepali mool ki Barsha Thapa (37) thi aur ghar ke sath bahar ke kaam ke liye uska mehnati evam saral swabhav pati Pashupati Thapa (40). Inki eklauti santaan Kiran Thapa (19), snatak ke pratham varsh imtihaan de chuki thi aur padhai ke sath sath wo apni maa aur Shilpa ji ki uchit madad karti thi.
"Choti memsaab toh bilkul chaand hai Abhishek babu. Sach kehti thi Shilpa memsaab ki Gorav babu ki kismat he tej hai. Aaiye dulhan ji aur apne daahine paanv se kalash palat kar kadam rakhiye apne ghar me. Bhagwan sukh-samridhi banaye rakhe.", Aarti ka thaal liye Barsha ne dwaar par he Gorav aur Madhuri ki nazar utari. Taamra-kalash me bhare chawal bikher Madhuri ne apne kadam bhitar rakhe toh pehle se maujood darjan bhar mehmaano ne phool aur chawal barsate hue dono ka swagat kiya. Lekin iske sath sath Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ke sar se shagun vaar kar Barsha ko dete hue ulahana bhi diya.
"Kitne baar kahe aapse Barsha ki humko memsaab mat kaha kijiye. Abhishek aapke liye babu hai wo thik lekin hume aap didi kehti hai wahi kahiye. Aur wo natkhat Gungun kaha hai? Ab tabiyat thik hai uski?", Shilpa ji apne rishteydaro aur devar-devrani ko liye aangan me aayi toh Pashupati ne pehle he sabke baithne aur nashte ka intjaam kar rakha tha. 3 lakdi ke table par thande paani aur sharbat ke gilas saje the kuch mishthaan aur phal-namkeen ke sath. Aangan me chhaya ke liye waise toh aam ke 2 vriksh paryapt the lekin shaadi wale ghar me lagne wala laal shamiana bhi bharpoor chhaya banaye tha. Rasoi se chai-coffee ki tray liye ye ujle salwar kameej me jarurat se jyada he gori yuvti in logo ko dekh wo tray pas wale table par rakh lagbhag daudti hui Shilpa ji ke paas aa gayi.
"Bhabhi aap ne mera intjaar bhi nahi kiya? Maa aap toh bolna bhi mat ab mere sath. Awaaj toh laga sakti thi ki chhoti bhabhi ghar aa gayi hai?", Takriban 5 feet ki ye ladki jis tarah se adhikar jata rahi thi wo dekh Abhishek ji aur Shilpa ji ke chehre par thakaan ke bawjood aseem khushi thi.
"Tujhe dhoop lag jaati na Gungun isliye maine he mana kiya tha. Ab dekh tere saamne hai teri nayi bhabhi aur Gorav se neg bhi le le teri marji ka.", Abhishek ji ne sabhi mehmano ko baithne ki gujarish karne ke sath sath is ladki ke bhi sar ko laad se sehlate hue kaha.
"Neg nahi chahiye Abhishek bhaiya. Bukhar ki wajah se pehle he main shaadi me na ja saki aur fir nayi bhabhi ke sath gate pe pehli photo bhi khinchne se reh gayi. Atcha toh aap na abhi mere sath aao nayi bhabhi aur Gorav bhaiya aap bhi aa sakte ho.", Ye ladki lagbhag Madhuri ka hath khinchte hue usko wapis he le ja rahi thi aur Shilpa ji bhi hanste hue apne devar ko unke peeche le gayi. Baraat ke sath gaye photographer ka camera khud he Abhishek ji ne utha liya kyonki wo vyakti hath mooh dhone ke baad abhi paani peene laga tha.
"Bhaiya ji ye ladki toh pagal hai aur aap isko daantne ki jagah iski baat maan rahe ho.?", Pashupati gamche se apna chehra saaf karta hua ghar ke maalik ki bagal me he chal raha tha.
"Pashupati ji, jab aapko bhi pata hai ki Kiran hamare liye ghar ki pehli bachi hai toh ye toka toki mat he kijiye. Aap mehmano ko dekhiye aur hum jara is shaitaan ki tasiveer khinch le. Shukar hai ki ye itne me he maan rahi hai.", Lekin Abhishek ji ki soch he galat nikli jab Kiran ne ek ya 2 nahi lagbhag darjan photo utarwaai aur baad me toh apne maa-baap ko bhi shamil kiya jab photographer khud he idhar chala aaya. Aas-pados ke log dono dulha-dulhan ko shagun ke sath shubhkamnaye dene ke baad nashta karne lage the aur Shilpa ji ne Madhuri ka parichaya karwaya.
"Ye Barsha didi hai jo hamare ghar ko ghar banaye rakhti hai, bina humse koyi mehnat karwaye aur ye hamari laadli hai Gungun. Waise toh iska naam Kiran hai lekin har waqt bas ye filmy gaane gungunati rehti hai jis wajah se tumhare jeth ji ne iska naam he Gungun rakh diya. Gorav aur inke liye Gungun he ghar ki beti aur inki behan hai. Abhishek jab bhi ghar hote hai toh unki subah ki chai hamesha yahi banati hai. Aur Gungun abse tumhe apni nayi bhabhi ka poora dhyaan rakhna hai.", Madhuri ne bhi bade saleeke se Kiran ko apne sath laga kar prem darshaya.
"Wo toh sab thik hai lekin aap toh neg ke baare me kuch keh rahi thi? Main nayi bhabhi ko apne sath he le jaungi market toh wahi se aap mujhe Rani Mukherji wali jeans dilwa dena. College me bahot si ladkiyan pehanti hai lekin maa toh mujhe salwar kameej ke alawa kuch dilwati he nahi.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Madhuri ke chehre par bhi muskaan aa gayi. Abhishek ji ne beech me dakhal dete hue kaha.
"Abhi tumhari nayi bhabhi ko araam karne ke liye unke kamre me le jao Gungun. Hum khud he kal sabko market le chalenge. Jo dil kare wo le lena aur tumhari maa bhi nahi tokegi. Gorav tum bhi thoda araam kar lo.", Baat bhi sahi thi jo saari raat shaadi me vyast hone ke baad 4-5 ghante ka safar aur idhar ghanta bhar mehmano ke sath lagane ke baad sharir ko araam ki sakht jarurat thi. Gungun urf Kiran turant he apni maa ko aankh chidhati hui Madhuri ko liye pehli manzil par badh chali. Kamre niche bhi the lekin Gorav hamesha se he upar wali manzil par akela rehta tha. Pehle kamre ko paar karke dono agle kamre me dakhil hone lagi toh Kiran ne he bataya.
"Bhabhi, ye pehle wala kamra bhi Gorav bhaiya ka he hai lekin usme sirf kitabe he kitabe hai. Wo toh chutti par bhi aate hai toh din bhar kitabo me lage rehte hai. Haan thoda khelne bhi jaate hai club me lekin jyadatar computer ya kitabe. Ye kamra bada hai jo ab aapka hai. Isko maine he sajaya hai aur subah jo gaadi aayi thi us se samaan nikaal kar main in dono almaari me laga chuki hu. Haan ye aapke chain wale bag maine nahi khole kyunki ye aapka jaruri samaan hoga.", Madhuri ke ghar se dahej chahe na bhi aaya ho lekin uphaar aur baaki sab samaan pehle he pauch chuka tha. Kiran ki mehnat aur is saaf suthre bade kamre ko dekh Madhuri sehajta se muskuraai.
"Ye meri taraf se neg samajh kar rakh lo Gungun. Ghar me sabse chhoti tumhi ho toh mana matt karna. Aur idhar bathroom hai?", Madhuri ne niche mile shagun ke darjan lifafe bina jaanche he Kiran ke hawale kar diye the jo wo badi hairaani se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ne bathroom dekha toh wo lagbhag ek kamre jitna he bada tha aur bilkul saaf. Jaise wo aajkal me he banaya gaya ho ya aadhunik samaan usme lagwa kar durust kiya ho. Aisa bathroom unke ghar bhi tha lekin ye wala toh kamre ke bheetar uska neeji tha.
"Aapne dekha bhi hai bhabhi ke ye kitne rupaye honge? Maa mujhe bahot maaregi aur ye shagun aapke hai toh aap he rakhiye."
"Shilpa didi ko bata dena ki ye maine apni marji se tumhe diye hai. Wo sambhal lengi apne aap. Aur ye kitne hai is se kya farak padta hai? Tumhare kaam he aayenge toh samjhdari se prayog karna. Ab tum ijajat do toh kya main fresh ho kar thoda araam kar lu?", Madhuri abhi tak un bhari vastro me thi aur Gungun usko pasine me dekh apne sar pe hath marti hui remote ki taraf lapki.
"Ye Aircondition chalana bhi yaad nahi raha. Haan aap fresh ho kar araam kijiye. Waise bhi yaha jyada log nahi aate toh aapko pareshani nahi hogi. Gorav bhaiya bhi aa gaye shayad.", Kiran ne kadmo ki aahat sunn li thi jo bilkul sahi thi. Par Gorav akela nahi aaya tha. Uske sath Shilpa ji bhi thi jo apne bete ko niche sula kar aayi thi.
"Badi bhabhi ye nayi bhabhi ne apne aap he mujhe diye hai. Unhone dekha bhi nahi ki ye kitne hai. Maine lene se mana kiya tha.", Kiran ki baat sunn kar Shilpa ji ne uska gaal khinchte hue kaha.
"Rakh le jab diye hai toh. Aur kitne hai ye toh tu he dekh jab tujhe diye hai. Bank me dalwa liyo agar jyada ho toh. Chal ab ja ke araam kar tu bhi. Bukhaar utra nahi ki teri masti shuru ho gayi. Madhuri, tumhe kuch bhi chahiye ho toh..Mujhse mat kehna. Ye ghar tumhara bhi hai toh kisi ko bhi bol sakti ho. Aur jaise dil kare waise rehna. Yaha koyi panchayti raaj nahi hai. Gorav, tum bhi kapde badal kar araam kar lo. Phir shaam ko dinner par inke kuch friends aane wale hai tum dono se milne. Madhuri, tumhara sab samaan Kiran ne laga diya hai Barsha ke sath mil kar. Dekh lena.", Shilpa jis tarah se muskura kar wapis gayi thi us par Madhuri ki toh najar nahi padi lekin Gorav jarur jhemp gaya. Phir wo bhi diwar me bani un almari ki taraf badhte hue bola.
"Madhuri, main bagal wale kamre me nahane ja raha hu. Tum chaho toh kamra band kar sakti ho."
"Aap naha ke aa jaiye aur darwaja bahar se he laga dijiyega. Ye aapka bhi kamra hai.", Madhuri ne Gorav se pehle he almari khol kar saleeke se lage Gorav ke kapdo se ek kurta-pyjama, toliya nikal kar najre jhukaye he uski aur badha diya. Gorav ke gambhir chehre par halki si muskaan aayi thi ye dekh ki abhi Madhuri ko aaye chand ghante he hue hai aur wo patni wale karya karne lagi hai.
"Wo mere underwears main khud le leta hu.", Gorav aage badha toh almari ke dono pallo ke beech ab wo Madhuri ke sharir se bilkul satt kar ek daraaj se katcha-baniyaan nikalne laga. Na chahte hue bhi dono ke sharir me halka gharshan hua tha aur Madhuri ka wo vishal ubhaar ek taraf se Gorav ki kohni ko chho gaya. Madhuri ko abhi tak apne jism par sirf Arjun ka he sparsh anubhav tha lekin Gorav uska pati tha jo ek tarah se jiwanbhar ab uske sath bister sanjha karne wala tha. Chehre par halki si laali aur sharam aa he gayi thi is sparsh se. Gorav ko jab uske wo kapde na mile toh Madhuri ne jhuk kar bagal wali daraaj ko dekha. Ab dono miya biwi ek jaisi mudra me the aur Gorav toh sab bhool kar bas us kudrat ke hunar ko nihar raha tha. Madhuri ke chikne bhare bhare gaal, chehre par khaas chamak ke sath naak me bali aur gaal se latakti wo baalo ki ghumavdar latt. Madhuri ne dono vastra nikal liye toh najre aapas me takraai. Gorav hichkichata hua palat kar seedha ho gaya.
"Thank you."
"Welcome.", Madhuri ke jawaab ko sunn kar wo jaane se pehle achanak he uske gaal ko sehla kar kamre se nikal gaya. Wo bhi Gorav ki is harkat par kuch pal hairaan hui fir sar jhatakte hue boli.
'Khud he keh rahe the ki tum shaadi se mana kar do aur ab janaab ke chehre ki khushi kal se kuch aur bata rahi hai.', Madhuri apne kapde bhi le kar us bathroom me ghus gayi. Araam karne se pehle naha lena jaruri tha. Aur jabtak wo bathroom se naha kar salwar kameej me kamre me aayi darwaja band he tha lekin bister par Gorav jarur karwat ke bal leta dikha. Shayad wo thakne ki wajah se jald he so gaya tha jaisa Madhuri ko prateet hua. Aaine me khud ko sanwarne ke baad usne pehle Gorav ko chaadar di kamre me thandak ki wajah se aur fir khud bhi ek taraf ke khali hisse me Gorav ki taraf peeth karke leit gayi. Nayi jagah aur apne bhare-poore pariwar se dur Madhuri ko ab is bister par neend nahi aa rahi thi. Bagal me soya vyakti bas aaj he toh zindagi me aaya tha aur aise dhero vichar liye Madhuri ne 3-4 baar karwat li.
"Tum thik ho na Madhuri? Jaanta hu ke tumhe andar he andar ye ajeeb lag raha hoga. Ek naya pariwar aur upar se ghar se dur. Maa ji (Lalita) ne bataya tha ke tum apne jiwan me kabhi bhi ghar se dur nahi rahi ho. Waha hain bhi toh dher saare behan bhai jinke bina tumhe aisa lagna jayaj bhi hai. Jiwan me bahot kuch pehli baar he hota hai Madhuri aur jaruri nahi ke wo bura he ho. Dhire dhire se he sahi lekin kadam badhane se hum ek waisa he sansaar bana sakte hai. Apna sansaar, jaisa tumhe pasand hai.", Gorav ne aisa kehte hue Madhuri ke sar ko halke hatho se sehlaya toh wo badi badi aankhon se ab pehli baar is vyakti ko gor se dekh rahi thi. Madhuri ko yu khamosh khud ki taraf dekhta pa kar Gorav ne haami bhari.
"Main tayaar nahi tha Madhuri jaisa maine pehli mulakaat par bataya tha tumhe ki tum mana kar do. Bhaiya ne apne liye kabhi kuch nahi kiya aur shaadi hone baad bhi unki prathmikta sirf main aur hamare pita ka khoya naam wapis banana he the. Mujhe kabil banane ke liye unhone kabhi khud par dhyaan nahi diya aur jab unhone chaha ki ye ghar aur bhi pahle-phule toh maine ek aashanka ki wajah se tumhe wo kaha tha. Mujhe darr tha ki kahi meri wajah se tumhara jiwan bematlab me na kharaab ho. Par main galat tha Madhuri. Pariwar badhne se samsyaye khatam hoti hai aur ekakipan sirf khud ko tasalli dena bhar hai. Sabhi khush the is shaadi me jabki unhe toh kuch mil bhi nahi raha tha. Wo naseebwala main tha jiske liye sabhi khush the aur mujhe tum mili ho. Sapno pe kaam karna toh nahi rokunga lekin tumhe bhi shikayat nahi hone dunga. Mujhse pehle is ghar ko tumhari jarurat hai. Bhabhi ko tumhari jarurat hai Madhuri aur sabko. Itminaan se bas araam karo aur ye khayaal nikal do apne dil se ki tum nayi jagah ho. Ye tumhari jagah hai.", Gorav ne jis tarah se lagatar sar sehlate hue Madhuri se apne jajbaat jaahir kiye the wo kuch sarak kar apne pati ke kareeb ho gayi. Iske baad kuch jyada baat na hui dono me aur is baar Madhuri bhi chain se so gayi. Goarav ne beech me thoda fansla fir barkarar kiya aur usko bhi jyada samay na laga.

Shankar ghar se toh hospital me kaam ka bol kar nikle the lekin ye jagah kisi bhi surat me hospital jaisi nahi thi. Shehar ke agle bypass par bana ye aalishan hotel aur uske bahar se bhitar tak ki ati-vishisht suraksha kuch aur he kahani bayaan karti thi. Yaha is samay me kisi bhi rahgir ko rukne ki saaf manahi thi aur wajah saaf thi. Hotel me pravesh karte he kuch mehngi caro ka kafila aur unke beech wo ekmatra sadharan esteem car. Ye vyaktitva apne aap me ek he tha aur wo tha Dr Shankar Sharma. Hotel me aaj ye mehtvapurn mulakaat is bade hall me ho rahi thi jaha kisi waiter tak ko jaane ki manahi thi. Service ka bhaar bhi suraksh dekhne walo par he tha. 23-24 log is hall me maujood the jinme se sirf 3 he yaha se sambandh rakhte the. Dr Shankar, Dr Dharamvir Sangwan aur Delhi se padhare Shriman Raunaklal. Baaki 20 logo me se jyadatar coat-pant pehne manager jaise ya karobari the aur sirf 3 log thik in teeno ke saamne. Ek hatta katta 35 barash ka pehalwan sa yuvak jiske gaal kashimiri seb se laal aur sharir daitya sa. Dusra gambhir, mehngi safed kameej pehne darmiyane se kad ka ghungrale baal wala lekin sabse robila adhed aur unke beech baitha wo 55-60 baras ka ek sant-bheshbhusha wala lekin inka mukhiya. Gale me rudraaksh ki mala, hath me sone ki janjire aur sharir fakk safed varstro me.
"Ye Raunaklal jis marji sarkaar me ho lekin isko hamari taqat ka atche se pata hai. Aur tum Dharamvir Sangwan, kehne ko toh is Shankar ke shikshak ho aur kuch chhote mote hospital ke maalik lekin bewajah bahot si jagah tum apni taang adaane se baaj nahi aate. Khair tum bhi yaha isliye bulaye gaye ho ki Delhi aur uske najdeek hamare 5 hospital me apni sewa de sako. Jagah hamari hogi, paisa Raunaklal aur tum barabar lagaoge. Haan ye Gajendra Bhalla jaise chhuttbhaiya ke sath kaam tum dono nahi karoge.", Us adhed se ghungrale baalo walo ne cigar ko jalane se pehle thoda mooh me daba kar toda aur fir jalane ke baad apni baat kahi. Jinhe wo naam se pukar raha tha wo dono he uske baap ki umar ke the. Is vyakti ka naam tha Suryavir Singh Rana, S.V. group of companies ka maalik aur desh videsh me khaase rasookh wala. Shankar iski baat ko darkinaar karte hue itminaan se kaali coffee ki chuskiyan le raha tha.
"Mere pas 10 hospital hai Rana aur mujhe nahi lagta ki mujhe filhal koyi naya kaam shuru karna chahiye.", Dharamvir Sangwan ke itne se jawaab par wo hatta katta sa aadmi nakhush dikha lekin Rana ne ishare se usko khamosh he rakha.
"Waise toh tumhari ye baat mere bhai ko nagawar gujri hai Dharavir lekin chalo tumhari ye pehli gustakhi hai aur doctor ke sath tum ek shikshak bhi rahe ho isliye main tumhe maaf karta hu. Wo 10 hospital he toh tum hamare sath mila rahe ho. Unme se 5 hum band karenge aur baaki pahcho par paisa laga kar wo aalishan imarat tayaar karenge ki poore uttar bharat me phir unke samaan koyi hospital na hoga. Tumse kuch paisa waisa nahi le rahe aur na tumhari hasiyat hai ki trucko ke hisaab se tum hamara khajana bhar sako. Raunaklal, tumne samjhaya nahi tha kya isko? Mere har minute ki keemat 5 lakh hai.", Rana ke chehre par koyi gussa na tha lekin awaaj bata rahi thi ki usko guroor bhi tha aur wo taqatwar bhi.
"Fainsle Dharamvir bhai sahab nahi lete Rana sahab. Shankar he adhikarik maalik hai share ke hisaab se aur Gajendra Bhalla ke sath Delhi me naye vypaar ka bada bhagidar bhi. Kaha kaam karna hai, kya kaam karna hai aur kiske sath karna hai ye sirf Shankar he taye karta hai aur agar Shankar uplabdh na ho toh Umed Singh.", Raunaklal Delhi me rasookhwala tha lekin yaha toh wo bhi is aadmi ko 'ji' ke sath sambodhit kar raha tha. Shankar abhi bhi diary par kuch likhta hua wo kali coffee me laga raha.
"Shankar. Dr Shankar Sharma suputra Rameshwar Sharma. Iska baap police afsar tha jo ab retired hai? 3 bhai aur ek behan. Patni se 3 aulaad jinme sabse chota ek ladka baaki dono ladkiyan. Chhota mota gunda bhi hai ye safed kapdo ke peeche lekin isko itni bhi kya ehmiyat de rakhi hai Dharamvir jo ye maalik bana hua hai? Aur Raunaklal, tum toh jaante ho mere bhai ke saamne sabhi gundo ki patloon kaise gili ho jaati hai. Ye chhote mote shehar wale bas gali mohalle me apne baap ke naam par 2-3 ke hath paanv todd kar raub jama lete hai. Yaha saamne wala awaaj baad me karta hai, pehle uske maathe ke beech bindi bann jaati hai.", Rana jaise bol raha tha uske darjan bhar coat-pant pehne wo chaddam gunde daant dikhane lage.
"21 minute hue hai aur is hisaab se tumhari nautanki ke hue 85 lakh. Ye toh kuch jyada he ho gaye lekin chalo tum yaha aaye ho toh khali hath toh nahi bhejunga tumhe. Ye cheque bana diya hai maine aur agar tumhe isko bhunane me koyi pareshani hai toh meri gaadi me ek crore pada hai.", Shankar pen aur cheque liye maje se tehalta hua table ke dusri taraf un teeno ke peeche ja ruka lekin uski jubaan sunn kar Rana ka chehra laal ho chuka tha. Uska wo pehalwan gunda bhai bhi akad kar kuch kehne he laga tha lekin us se pehle Shankar ne wo cheque Rana ke mooh par de mara aur pen us pehalwan ke kandhe me, jo shayad mehnga tha ispaat se bana hua. Lagbhag aadha pen us gainde jaise aadmi ke kandhe ki nichli haddi ke barabar se sharir me ghuss chuka tha. Koyi bhi harkat me aata us se pehle Shankar ka pasandida hathiyar is haal me chamak raha tha jo Rana ke bhai ke gale par tika tha.
"Randi ki aulaad saale yaha ek chutiya gandmare ko apna swami bana kar aa pahuche. Aur inhe lagta hai ki 5000 crore ki dalali karke ye maadarchod kisi ke bhi sar par mootne lagenge. Aye Raunaklal uncle. Inhe bataya nahi tha kya ke meri fees kya hai?", Shankar ne pen wala hath hata liya tha lekin uski kohni ki giraft itni majboot thi ki wo gainda tass se mass na ho saka.
"Tum kar kya rahe ho? Virendra ko chhod do aur hum tumhari saja kam kar denge.", Rana ke sath sath uski bagal me baithe bujurg ko bhi is vatanukalit hall me paseene aa chuke the. Shankar ne cigrattee nikal kar ek hath se he pehle mooh par lagaai aur fir usi hath se lighter jala kar sulga li. Table ke saamne baithe Sangwan ji aur Raunaklal muskura rahe the.
"3 baatein bata deta hu main tumhe Rana. Ek toh ye ki agar Shankar ne apni fees kabhi bataai hai toh mareej zinda nahi bacha lekin ye fees le kar rehta hai. Dusri baat, inke pita ke naam ke sath Pandit ji lagao ya kam se kam ji toh laga he lo aur shikshak bhi iske liye pita samaan hai toh ye unka kabhi anadar nahi hone deta. Aksar aise logo ki ye kalam pakadne wali ungli aur angootha kaat deta hai. Lekin tum nischint raho kyonki ye ghar aaye logo ki pehli baar me jaan nahi leta. Aur teesri baat jo ki tumhe sabse jyada yaad rakhni chahiye thi, galti se bhi lakkadbaggo ke jhund ko shero ki maand me nahi ghusna chahiye. Shankar akela he sher nahi hai idhar lekin yahi akela tumhari maand me ghuss kar har pille ki saans rok dega.", Dr Dharamvir Sangwan apni jagah se uth kar khade ho gaye the. Rana ko wo majboot sa bhai ladkhada raha tha kamjor pakad aur behte hue khoon ki wajah se. Shankar ke sharir ko dekh kar Rana ne uska aankalan bahot galat he lagaya tha. Lekin guroor fir bhi thoda bhari ha us par.
"Dekh rahe ho Dharamvir yaha kitne log hai? Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar aur maafi maang lo. Main jarurat se jyada dayavaan hu toh tumhe saja me sirf itna he karna hoga ki kabhi bhi Delhi ka rukh matt karna. Aur haan Raunaklal, tumhe ab dugni penalty lagegi.", Rana andar he andar apne bhai ki haalat dekh tilmila raha tha aur uske kareeb baitha wo bujurg uske kaan me kuch kehne ki koshshi karna chahta tha lekin is mahol me jaise sabka dhyaan Shankar par he tha.
"Ye milawat wala beej hai chacha, na sudharne wala. Waise tum Delhi ki baat kar rahe the na Rana toh saja sunn lo. Delhi me najar matt aana aainda kyonki main aaj he shaam Delhi ke liye nikalne wala hu. Jisko tum gundo ka shehjada bata rahe ho ye ladkiyon wala powder khila kar bada kiya hai tumne, isko main apne paas he rakhunga. Haan iska dhadd le kar ja sakte ho jab tumhare ye baaki lakadbagghe is hotel se 10 kos dur ja chuke ho.", Shankar ne thaan liya tha ke wo is pehalwan ko zinda nahi chhodne wala.
"Shankar Virendra ko zinda jaane do. Baat badh sakti hai. Rana ke pita.."
"Raunaklal ji, is gandmare ke baap pita aur mere papa? Unhone hamesha sikhaya hai ke apni ijjatt apne hath. Aap kya chahte ho main apne karam se na-insaafi karke ye operation blade wapis jeb me rakh lu.?", Ab Raunaklal ke sath sath Rana aur us bujurg ke bhi gotte mooh me aa gaye the. Shankar ka chehra tamtama raha tha aur us blade ki pakad jyada majboot dikhne lagi.
"Baat yahi khatam karte hai aur iske badle hum ek aur meeting rakhenge. Is taraf ki Delhi tumhari aur udhar ki hamari. Mere bhai ko chhod do Shankar nahi toh yaha se koyi bhi zinda nahi jaane wala. Main apni baat ka pakka hu aur aaj pehli baar saamne wali ki baat maan raha hu. Mere bhai ko chhod do..", Rana na uth pa raha tha aur na he wo apne aadmiyon ko aadesh de saka. Shankar sirf Dharamvir ji ko he dekh raha tha jo muskurate hue khamoshi se is manjar ko jehan me sametne lage.
"Wo aisa hai Rana ki Shankar mera sabse kabil beta hai isliye ye akela 40 pratishat ka maalik hai aur mere baaki teen lafange 60% ke barabar bhagidar. Tum soch rahe ho ke bahar tumhari suraksha hai lekin wo tumhari soch hai. Ab waha sirf hum hai aur jo ye naumne garmi me bhi coat pant pehne baithe hai ya toh ye yaha se khamoshi se nikal jaaye nahi toh wo log andar aaye toh main Raunaklal ki baat se bhi ittefaaq nahi rakhne wala. Delhi me ab 5 hospital banenge aur wo sabhi tumhari jagah par jisme tumhara koyi hissa nahi hone wala kyonki tum na toh idhar ki taraf dikhoge aur na he udhar ki taraf. Ye kaagaz hai tumhari un jagah ke aur ye NOC hai. Keemat tumhari zindagi. Sign kar do.", Sangwan ji ne file aise khiskaai thi ki wo seedha Rana ke saamne ja ruki. Wo toh hairaan sa apni he jameen ke kaagaj dekh raha tha jinke sahi sahi kaagaj ye log pehle se he liye the.
"Aise kya dekh raha hai bhosdike? Mera bhai pehle pehle kaagaj banwata hai fir uske maalik ko bulwata hai. Shukar kar Inder yaha nahi aaya. Chal pen chala nahi toh..", Shankar ne itna kehne ke sath blade ka dabaav banaya toh Virendra Rana ke gale se patli se khoon ki dhaar risne lagi aur hall me dakhil hue Bhuppi, Deepak, Daleep aur Rajesh ke sath 4 log. Sabhi ke hath me swachalit tamanche chamak rahe the muskurahat ke sath.
"Matlab Raunaklal, tumne ye jaal bichhaya tha?"
"Bhosdike maine bola na mere bhai ne kiya tha ye sab. Usko Punjab me maja nahi aa raha tha aur main sarkari doctor hu isliye Delhi me kya karunga.? Haan un dono ko Delhi chahiye thi aur ye 100-200 crore wale kaam nahi karne the. Is chakkar me Sangwan chacha ne bola ke unhe ab kuch bade hospita bhi waha banane padenge toh tujhse milne aa gaye. Tu harek ko chutiya samajh raha tha aur yahi tujhse galti ho gay. Chal sign kar aur nikal. Iske badle main sachmuch tere bhai ko sabut saunp dunga.", Baaki sabhi ko Daleep and party ne ek ek karke chalta kar diya tha. Shankar ki baahon me Virendra toh kabka behosh he ho chuka tha jiski haalat dekh Rana ne bina dekhe sabhi kagajo par lagatar hastakshar kar diye.
"Mere bhai ko chhod do aur main Delhi se dur rahunga."
"Wo toh tu rahega he lekin tera baap.. Sorry tumhare aadarniya pita ji thode dheeth hai. Tum mujhe meri kundli aadhi adhuri bata rahe the na toh us se pehle jara apne pita ji se mere papa ke baare me pooch lete. Vir Singh Rana ki patloon geeli ho jaati us naam se agar tumne Pandit ji bol diya hota toh. Aye Deepak, is swami ke thik beech me goli maar. Swarg se pehle ye ruka na toh tujhe dekhne ke liye peeche bhejunga.", Shankar ki garjana khatam bhi nahi hui thi ki silencer lagi pistol se bas pitt ki awaaj aayi aur wo rudrakshdhari Swami kursi par ludhak gaya. Khoon ke chhinte Rana ke chehre par bhi gire the jis se wo seham kar hairat se sabko dekh raha tha. Shankar ne Rana ke bhai ka sharir jameen par girate hue swami ki gardan utha kar bade he gor se wo goli ka nishaan dekha jaha se khoon behta hua table ko bhigo raha tha.
"Ye swarg se bhi aage gaya beta. Tu toh champion ho gaya Deepak center point ka. Chal Rana tujhe main poore 5 minute de raha hu aur agar utni der me tu apne bhai ko le kar yaha se nikal gaya toh tum dono zinda rahoge nahi toh gate yaha se 250 gaj dur hai aur tumhari laash is sarhad me he kisi bagiche me dafan milegi.", Shankar ki baat sunn kar Rana ne pehle toh hall ko dekha jaha ab uska koyi bhi aadmi nahi tha lekin yaha jitne the sabke hatho me hathiyar. Uska bhai jo sharir me us se dugna tha wo murchhit pada tha. Rana ne jaise taise usko uthane ki bharpoor koshish ki lekin sawa 100 kilo se jyada ka wo pehalwan tass se mass na hua. Rana ke chehre se pasina paani ki tarah farsh par jaldi he girne laga aur samay teji se kam hota gaya.
"2 minute", Daleep ke itna kehte he Rana ne apne bhai ko wahi chhoda aur bahar ki taraf daud laga di.
"Jaane doge isko Shankar?"
"Haan chacha isko toh jaane he dunga. Abhi toh ye bahot kaam aane wala hai jaisa Inder ne kaha tha. Ye Virendra ko apne kabje me rakhna hai hume isliye mujhe aisa karna pada. Bhuppi iski atche se khaatir karna aur jo bhi chahiye ho wo muhaiyya karwana. Aapne atcha kaam kiya Raunaklal uncle aur baaki sab ne bhi.", Shankar ne paani ki bottle utha kar ek lamba ghoont bhara toh uske kareeb aa khade hue Dharamvir ji ne bade he sneh se kandha thapthapaya.
"Aaj pehli baar dekha ke mera Shankar shikaar karne ka riwaaj seekh raha hai. Mujhe toh laga tha yaha 20-25 laash girne wali hai lekin wo hero shayad kuch badal sa gaya.", Unki baat sunn kar Raunaklal ne bhi gardan haan me hilaai.
"Ye sahi kaha aapne bhai sahab. Mujhe bhi laga tha ke aaj inke sath sath hum log bhi swag-sidharne wale hai. Aur Shankar ki herogiri se toh khud Pandit ji bhi darte hai."
"Baat aisi hai ki mere dono bhai (Umed-Narinder) ne mujhe bataya tha yaha aane se pehle. Unka kehna tha ki jaruri nahi ki khoon bematlab bahaya jaaye agar kaam baaton se ho sakta ho toh. Us janwar ko bacha kar rakho us din ke liye jab khoon jyada bahana pade. Vir Singh Rana se Inder khud milna chahta hai wo bhi papa ki taraf se aur aise maslo ke beech Shankar kabhi nahi aata."
"Toh is swami ko kyun mara?"
"Maine mara? Main kaun hota hu chacha ji kisi ko maarne wala? Deepak tadaf raha tha rivolver liye aur mujhse ye dekha na gaya toh iske nishane ki pariksha leni chahi maine. Waise ye Sharman Muni tha, hawala wala aur iske jaane se Vir Singh Rana ke hath ab aadhe toh katt chuke hai. Ye pehli mulakaat atchi rahi Rana pariwar ke sath aur ab main ghar ja kar apne bete ko surprise dena chahta hu.", Shankar ne wo cigrattee joote ke niche daba kar bujhane ke baad apne blade aur hatheli ko paani se wahi saaf kiya.
"Toh aaj tum Arjun ke sath waqt bitane wale ho?", Rajesh ne ye kaha tha jo apne jija ke sath he aage chalne laga. Sangwan ji us file ko liye Raunaklal ko kuch samjha rahe the hanste hue aur baaki logo ne us swami ki lash ko thikane lagane ke liye ek kapde me lapet liya. Rajesh ke sath Daleep bhi tha.
"Mera beta hai Rajesh wo aur usko bhi chahat rehti hai ki main usko apni bagal me baitha kar thoda ghumau firau. Waise bhi usne mujhse apni maa ke liye bahot sawaal kiye the aur jab usne apni maa ka hath dekha toh mujhe jis tarah apne gale lagaya wo sirf main he mehsoos kar sakta hu. Ek mahine ke liye wo ghar se dur jaane wala hai. Mujhe bhi kami khalegi he uski chahe main ghar pe utna nahi rehta.", Daleep bade gor se Shankar ko dekh raha tha jo chalte hue apne bete ko yaad karke jis tarah khush tha wo sachmuch Shankar ki khaas muskaan thi, ek gehri muskaan kisi nischall pyaar ki.
"Jija maine toh aapko kabhi itne sensitive hote nahi dekha. Aur wo bas ek mahine ke liye ja raha hai jabki pehle bhi wo 8-9 saal ghar se dur raha tha. Waise atchi baat hai ki aap usko samajhte ho."
"8-9 saal nahi Rajesh 8 saal 137 din ya fir yun kahu ki 3060 din toh behtar rahega. Ye maine pehle nahi jana tha ke hum itne dur rahe hai. Kuch din pehle he maine ginti ki thi ki mera beta mujhse kitne samay dur raha. Uska mehatva mujhe thoda deri se pata chala lekin ek wahi hai jo papa ke sansaar ki neev barkaraar rakh sakta hai. Abhi yaha se jaate he main usko apne sath market le jaane wala hu. Ritu-Alka bhi jaayengi he lekin main chahta hu ki tu aur Daleep bhi mere sath chalo. Tu Rekha, Rupali, Aarti aur Komal ko le chalna. Daleep apne sath Manju, Pinki, Krishna aur Inder ko. Umed bhi tayaar milega.", Shankar ke aisa kehne par Daleep ko kuch khatka sa hua Manju ka naam sunn kar.
"Wo baaki log?"
"Jo araam karna chahte hai unhe karne de na yar aur Sanjiv ko bhi toh time dena hai. Baaki bhabhi aur Raju bhai ne behno ke sath geet he gaane hai Sanjiv Radhika ke. Main chahta hu ke kisi ko ye na lage ki wo Arjun ke sath samay nahi bita saka. Khaane ka bil aaj meri sasural ki taraf se."
"Hahaha.. jija. Meri he gaand maar li na?"
"Rajesh darling, isko gaand maarna nahi sewa ka mauka dena kehte hai. Teri he toh khushi badha raha hu main.", Shankar ki baat ka arth samajh kar Rajesh uske gale lag gaya.
"Didi ke liye."
"Haan teri didi ke liye. Wo chahti hai ki tu us se milne special ghar aaye. Chal fir aaj yahi gift sahi.", Shankar ne aisa kehne ke sath Rajesh ko peeche aane ka ishara diya Daleep ke sath aur esteem nikaal kar ghar ki taraf badh chala. Yaha wo suraksha ab hawa ho chuki thi jiske dum par S.V. Rana mulakaat karne aaya tha.
