Update 182 (B)
Antakshari
"Ye Sanjiv kya keh raha tha Bhole? Itni jatli baatein jo mere bhi dimaag ke upar se nikal rahi thi aur wo tujhe samajh aa rahi thi?", Diwar ki munder se paanv latkaye Narinder is gehri raat me apne bade bhai se wo sabkuch jaan na chahta tha jo Shankar ne usko pehle kabhi bataya nahi.
"Ye Sanjiv bhi na kabhi kabhi jyada jajbaati ho jata hai Inder. Aaj pehle he ye Lucky ke sath aadhi bottle gatke baitha tha aur upar se dusre brand ki is bottle ke 3 peg jaldi jaldi kheench kar kuch bhi antt shantt bolne laga. Sach toh ye hai ki wo Arjun ke liye kahi jyada he lagaav rakhta hai. Tere ishare se jaise usko laga ki kahi Vishnu wale maamle me Arjun na shamil ho jaaye toh wo apne daleel ke sath bhai ka pyaar he dikhane laga. Tu bhi toh mere liye aisa he hai na?", Shankar kaise bhi karke apni baat ko sahi karna chahta tha kyonki kuch pehlu sachmuch usne Narinder se dhakk kar rakhe the vartmaan halaat me.
"Chutiya jarur hu bhai lekin mand-chutiya nahi. Ye Ritu wala maamla kya hai? Aur Arjun kyun behtar hai iski jaanch Sanjiv ne jis tarah karke samjhaai hai us se lagta hai ki abhi tak tu bhi apni aulaad ko sahi se nahi jaan paya.", Narinder ne halaat ko samajhte hue sirf wahi 2 sawaal kiye the jinhe batane me shayad Shankar ko mushkil na hoti, kam se kam Narinder ke saamne toh nahi. Ek gehri aah bharne ke baad Shankar ne anant aasman me faile us andhkaar aur sitaro ko dekha.
"Haan ye bhi ek nasliya parikshan jaisa he toh hai Inder. Komal gunvaan hai aur wo pehli santaan ke hisaab se jyada apni maa par gayi. Ritu ke maamle me meri chahat ek aur beti ki thi jis se mere gunn usme adhik hai lekin Arjun jab hua toh wo bas dil ki chahat si thi ki ab ek toh beta ho jo tere ya mere jaisa ho. Rekha bhi us samay hadd se jyada gyaan aur sahitya ke beech rahi. Samay se thoda pehle ho gaya tha nahi toh tere wale ke sath he hona tha usne. Fir jaise wo sangarsh karta hua paida hua tha toh mrityu ko shishu avastha me parast karke wo sabit karta hai ki usme pehli dono santano se kahi jyada he khaas aur strong DNA hai. Jaanta hai uske epilepsy attack ke time mere doctor dost ne kya kaha tha?", Shankar jaise ab apne peshe aur samooche gyaan ke sath sath ghatnao ko bhi madde najar rakhta hua apni baat batane laga tha.
"Kya kaha tha us waqt doctor ne Shankar jisne tujhe itna prabhavit kiya?", Narinder bhi jaise baaki sawaal bhool kar ab ye jaan na chahta tha ki uske bhatije me aakhir kya vilakshan hai.
"Uski immunity sadharan se 2-3 guna jyada hai bhai. Brain se oxygen disconnect hone par bhi Arjun aadha pauna ghanta behosh rehne ke bawjood jhel bhi gaya aur jism par koyi galat prabhav bhi nahi pada. Maa bhi jaise usko humse behtar samajhti hai aur unki wo adhbhutt khuraak Arjun ka jism bade araam se sehan karke khud ko paripakva banata ja raha hai. Growth hormones kahi jyada active hone ke sath he overall impact ya kahu prabhav de rahe hai. Wo eksaar hai. Bas jo samajh nahi aa raha hai wo hai uska mental reaction. Kyonki wo discolse he nahi karna chahta kisi ke saamne. Aur jo tera sawaal tha Ritu wala toh us par main kahunga ki Ritu uske ye sab raaj mere ya us doctor se jyada atche se jaanti hai. Arjun emotional aur mental level pe jaise apni badi behan par nirbhar bhi hai aur connected bhi. Tu samajh raha hai na mera matlab Inder?", Shankar ne bade he saleeke se sabkuch pesh kiya tha abhi tak.
"Hann.. Haan bhai main gor se sunn raha hu aur samajh bhi raha hu. Par Sanjiv ne aisa kyun kaha ki Ritu asli Krishan hai? Baad me Subhadra kaha jiska toh asamajik matlab hai aur aisa hua toh ye maaf karne laayak hoga kya?", Narinder ne apni baat ab spasht keh di thi.
"Jab Arjun nirbhar he Ritu par hai bachpan se aur 9 baras ke antraal ke baad Ritu ko khud lagbhag ek aur saal laga Arjun se vyavahar sahi karne me toh tujhe kya lagta hai Inder ki aisa vyakti apni maansik aur aantaraik lagaam kisi anya ko saunp dega? Yaha fir se genes haavi hai aur Ritu ke case me jaise mera prabhav adhik raha wahi idhar hai. Tu khudko aur mujhe he le. Hum dono me vivaad kyon nahi hota jabki hum toh ek jaise he hai.?", Is baat ne jaise Narinder ko sochne par he majboor kar diya tha. Bahot he atoot aur aatmiya judaav tha Shankar aur Narinder ke darmiyaan jisme Shankar nirdeshak aur Narinder karta ki bhoomika me hota tha. Taalmel bhi jaise khoon ki wajah se utna he bejod tha.
"Matlab tu kehna chahta hai ki Arjun haal-filhaal me jo kar gujra hai wo sab isliye kyonki Ritu uski margdarshika hai?"
"Nahi. Wo bhi hoga kuch hadd tak lekin Arjun bhavuk hai, jaise ki tu aur Ritu vastavik hai jaise ki main. Aadar sirf rishtey me bade hone ka hai Inder. Lekin asal baat wahi hai ghoom fir kar. Undono ka paraspar judaav, jaisa Sanjiv ne kaha tha. Aur agar tujhe wo 2 din pehle wala kissa yaad ho jo ladka Asgar wale maamle me hamari dehleej pe chala aaya tha toh tu aur atche se samjhega."
"Haan toh waha hua kya tha sahi se toh shayad pata bhi nahi laga.?"
"Arjun usko samjhata raha bina koyi jhagda kiya lekin jaise he us ladke ne galat najar se Ritu ko dekha toh sirf ek hath padne par wo ladka sadak pe lagbhag murchit sa ho gaya tha, kaan par gehre cut ke sath. Aur thik Arjun ke agle vaar se pehle Ritu ka uska hath pakadna aur Arjun ka aise shaant ho jana jaise wo kabhi garam hua bhi na ho. Jaise tu meri us bimari ko thanda kar deta hai Inder, us se bada kuch Arjun me hai aur uski dawa Ritu. Mere maamle me wo samay adhiktar aata bhi tabhi tha jab tujh par koyi baat ho aur Arjun ke mamle me bhi.", Shankar ki aankhon me jara bhi neend na thi beshak subah darjano kaam the aur jimmewariyan bhi.
"Oh... toh Rudra wali baat majaak nahi thi jo mujhe Krishna ne bataai thi? Fir toh ye alag bhi nahi ho sakte kyonki Arjun ....
"Exactly. Aur yahi Sanjiv kehna chaah raha tha. Ritu samajhdar hai lekin uske bina Arjun aisa jaise saurmandal me koyi ulka pind. Betahasha gati se ghoomta, kshati pahuchta aur lakshyaheen ulka pind. Bachpan wo krodhit hota tha jab usko Preeti se dur karte the ya uski baat nahi maani jaati thi lekin tab bhi wo Ritu ke paas jaate he thanda. Fir uska jo Bheem wala haadsa hua toh waha usne apni hadd todi thi Menaka ki wajah se. Mishra ke londo aur aadmiyon ki thukaai ki thi tab bhi wajah Ritu he rahi hogi. Sudarshan aur uske dosto ko khastahaal kiya toh wajah Preeti ya Manju aur wo ruka bhi inke he rokne se lekin tabahi karne ke baad. Aise aur bhi ghatnakram hai Inder jinme agar Arjun shamil hua toh bhavukta aur judaav ki wajah se. Lekin wo shaant bhi apno ke kehne par ho jata hai par kar gujarne ke baad. Sirf uski badi behan he hai jo usko tatkaal me he thanda kar sakti hai. Aur mere liye apne jiwan ka sabse jatil case bhi mere bache hai aur ek khamosh tufaan bhi.", Shankar ke lafzo me ubhar aaye dard ko turant he Narinder pehchaan gaya tha. Khade ho kar wo apne bhai ke kandhe par hath rakhta hua bas itna he keh paya.
"Tujhe jo darr lag raha hai na Shankar uski parwah matt kar mere bhai. Tu usko apni taqat bana ke dekh aur ab mujhe ye kahi se bhi gair-samaajik nahi lag raha. Aise pyaar ko toh naam dene ki himmat hum jaise tuchh manushya kar he nahi sakte. Unme jo paralokik judaav hai iska toh maan karna chaiye mere bhai. Har jagah humne kanoon aur niyam ki dhajjiyan udaai, is samaaj ki gaand pe hal chalaya lekin aaj agar baat apne he bacho ke bhavishya aur unke bhalaai ki hai toh fir toh dugni maa chodni chaiye in niyamo ki. Mera beta kabhi belagaam ulka pind nahi banega. Wo chandrma aur dharti wala connection kehna mujhe jyada sahi lagta hai. Ab dil halka kar le aur aaja tere sar ki maalish karke main tujhe supt-grah le chalu.", Narinder aise mahol me bhi halki masti karta apne bhai ko liye 2 gaddo ki taraf chala aaya. Aur sachmuch dono sone lage toh wo Shankar ke baalo me halke hatho se khaas tarah ungliya firata jald he usko neend ke aagosh me bhej chuka tha.
'Waah re uparwale. Teri laathi me sachmuch awaaj nahi.', Sone se pehel Narinder ne muskura kar mann he mann ye kaha aur aankhe moond li. Dil ab halka ho chuka tha sabkuch jaan lene ke baad.
.
.
Abhi din nikalne se pehle ka andhkaar he tha jab alarm ghadi ki awaaj se Manju ki neend uchat gayi. Ye awaaj uske mata-pita ke kamre se aa rahi thi. Alsaai si Manju ne uthne se pehle ruk ruk kar angdaai li toh kamar se upar ek khaas ehsaas paya. Swatah he chehre par wo durlabh muskaan ubhar aayi uski kokh ko seenchne wale ka chehra vichaar karte he.
'Bas yahi itcha hai bhagwan se meri. Jab bhi ye aankhen khule toh tumhe dhyaan karu aur jab bhi band ho toh tumhari he tasvir se.', Manju ne apna dheela sa basketball wala lamba tshirt thik karne ke baad nirvastra taango ko ek salwar se dhaka aur baal banati hui kamre se bahar chali aayi. Abhi 4 bajne me 5-10 minute baaki thi. Ghar me ek baar fir khamoshi chha chuki thi shayad Saroj ji ya Daleep ji ne alarm ghadi turant he band kar di hogi.
'Ab itni jadli wapis he udhar jana tha toh wahi na ruk jaate sab. Lekin nahi.', khud se he batiyati hui Manju bathroom me halki hone ke dauran yahi sab soch rahi thi. Daleep ji toh udhar he rukne ke pakshdhar the lekin Saroj ji ne behan ka sasural wala hawala deke aisa hone na diya. Kuch soch kar Manju ne ek baar fir salwar jism se juda karke bathroom ki khunti par chadha di. Ab wo tshirt bhi nadarad thi uske sutwa lambe chamakdar jism se.
'Ishhhhh... jab ye mua peit me nahi aaya tha toh itni aag nahi bhadakti thi lekin ab toh lagta hai ki har waqt bas isko sehlati rahu.', Manju ka jism kaamjwar me tapne lag raha tha jis par girta thanda paani bhi jaise tapish bhadane he laga. Is meethi chubhan se khud he uski lambi patli ungliyan dono jaangho ke beech sthit phooli hui lambi faanko par chalne lagi. Arjun se milne se pehle tak wo aisi kriya ko ganda samajhti thi lekin ab halaat ye tha ki jabtak wo sone se pehle aur uthne ke baad ek baar apni muniya ko ragad na leti, uska sharir garmi badhata he rehta.
'Ummm..', ek hath diwar par tikaye Manju apne dusre hath se lagatar apni yoni ki geeli faanko ko maalish ke andaj me masalti rahi. Unmaad bhadne par dusra hath diwar se hata kar apne ek nukile nipple se susajjit gol ubhar par rakhti wo ab naram chuche ko bhi dabane lagi. Arjun ne khaasi mehnat ki thi uske seene par jaha ab choti musammbiyon ki jagah bade kandhari anaar vypat the. Unka kasaav barkaraar tha lekin ek mulayam lamas ke sath. Har gujarte pal ke sath Manju ka chehra aur laal hone laga. Na chahte hue bhi uski siskiyan bathroom me chalte paani se tej hone lagi. Choot ne kaamras ko jaangho par bhejne ki bharpoor koshish ki thi lekin behta fuhare ka paani jaise kisi bhi nishaan ko panapne nahi dena chahta tha.
"Aaahhhh.. Arjunnnnnn.", Nidhaal si hoti Manju sabkuch bhool kar bathroom ke sangmarmari farsh par he pasar gayi. Saasein ukhad chuki thi jinhe sambhalna shayad abhi uske vash me na tha. Upar se nirantar girta paani bhi jaise in saanson ko jhutlane me asafal he raha. 5 minute baad Manju ki chetna lauti toh wo jaise taise khadi hui. Darwaje ke dusri taraf se jaane kabse uski maa Saroj kiwaad thapthapa rahi thi.
"Aaiiii.. maaaa.. Chain se nahane bhi nahi deti ho.", Fir se Manju ke chehre aur awaaj me wahi andaaj laut chuka tha jiske liye wo prakhyaat thi. Pehle se bathroom me tanga toliya seene par lapet wo geeli taango par salwar chadhaye bahar nikli toh uski maa ke chehre par alag he bhaav najar aaye.
"10 minute se awaaj laga rahi hu aur 100 bar darwaja peeta hoga maine. 4 baje tu andar ghusi thi lekin ab ghadi sadhe 4 baja rahi hai. Aur thoda khayaal rakha kar khudko thanda karte waqt. Baap bhi hai ghar me lekin nahi tujhe toh bhopu me naam bajana hai Arjun Arjun ka. Kar liyo waha ja ke uske sath lekin din shuru kare toh ram ka naam liya kar Arjun ka nahi.", Ye sab Saroj bahot he dhimi awaaj me keh rahi thi jaise wo kamre tak apni awaaj jaane na dena chahti ho. Manju bhi ye sab bhaanp kar halki si sharam ke bawjood muskura rahi thi. Saroj ne beti ke seene par sirf toliya dekh matha he peet liya.
"Baat aisi hain maa ke ab na wo damaad he hai aapka chahe lagti uski mausi ho aap. Aur rahi baat uske paas rehne ki toh wo khud he aata jata rehta hai mere ghar. Lekin filhaal jara mahol bhid-bhaad wala hai toh bas yaad he kar leti hu. Ho jao tayaar aap bhi apne munne se milne ke liye aur main chali apni kamre me.", Manju ne aankh maar kar seedhiyon ka rukh kiya aur kulanche maarti si nikal chali.
'Kya karu is ghodi ka ab main? Ek toh rishtey ka koyi naam bhi nahi raha aur upar se dhitaai toh dekho. Waise iski bhi kya galti hai jab wo ladka prem ki chumbak he aisi dhaaran kiye hai. Bhagwaan bas inhe buri najar se bachaye aur sab thik kare.', Saroj mamtavash dua maangne se kaha chookti aur fir Arjun ka dhyaan aate he uske bhi chehre par muskaan aa gayi. Sachmuch wo koyi asaani se bhulaya ja sakne wala kissa toh na tha. Wo toh sahej kar rakhne ke sath fir dohrane wala prem-snaan tha jiske baare me soch kar he premika ras bahane lage. Idhar Daleep ji bhi aankhen khol chuke the aur pratiksha me the ki kab unhe chai mile aur din shuru ho.

Col sahab ke ghar ke bahar ye Taxi number plate wali gaadi ruki tab Asgar khaali plot me chhidkaav kar raha tha. Asgar ki bhi jaise dincharya bhor hone se pehle he shuru ho jaati thi. Raat se jagmag rangbirangi laddiyan abhi bhi jhilmil thi aur idhar car ki pichli seat se ye chharhara sa gora-chitta vyakti utra toh Asgar lapak kar aage badha. Aankhon par bina dandi wala najar ka mehnga chasma aur chust kameej patloon ke sath he sharirk bhasha kisi raees videshi hindustani ki thi.
"Laaiye sahab, aapka samaan main nikal chalta hu.", Asgar ne is vyakti ko car ki seat se bada bag nikalte dekh aage badhkar khud he madad ki. Ek pal ke liye in sahab ne badi kritaghyata se Asgar ko dekha jiski deel-dol tagdi hone ke bawjood chehre se saaf jahir hota tha ke wo nek mehnatkash vyakti hai. Taxi ke driver ne dikki ka tala khol kar 2 bag aur bahar nikale toh Asgar ne unme se bhi ek bada wala utha liya.
"Thank you dost. Tumhe papa ne security pe rakha hai ya tau ji ne? Waise mera na Vivaan Puri hai aur main Col Satish Puri ka beta hu.", Driver ko 500-500 ke kuch note dene ke sath he in sahab ne ek badi si gudiya apne hath me lene ke sath he dusra bag bhi kandhe par daal liya. Ye the Preeti ke pita jo America se Delhi aur ab Delhi se seedha idhar padhare the. Unki baat par Asgar adab se muskurate hue bola. Vivaan ji tab tak gate ki taraf chalne lage the aur unke peeche Asgar.
"Ji sir, main yaha shubh-utsav par khaansama hu aur Pandit ji ke sath sath aapke pita ji ne bhi humari bahot madad ki hai. Aap jarur Hindustan se bahar rehte hai.", Asgar ne ek najar wapis jaate taxi-wale ko dekha aur fir galiyare se chalte aaye Col sahab ko. Tala kholne ke baad Col sahab badi he garamjoshi se apne bete se gale lag kar mile the. Asgar ne dono bag andar wale darwaje ke paas savdhani se rakh kar bahar ka rukh kiya toh usko bhi unhone rok liya.
"Arre Asgar miya, bhai tum sabhi ko khana khilate ho toh kabhi ek pyali chai hamare ghar ki bhi pee lo. Ye Vivaan hai, hamara beta aur Vivaan aadat ke anusar tum toh jarur mil he liye hoge Asgar se?", Asgar ne dono hath jodd diye the aur tabtak andar se Romela bhi saaf-suthre paridhan me idhar aa chuki thi.
"Nahi sahab, aapki ye chai ki pyaali udhar rahi hum par. Paani ka chhidkaav karne ke liye aaya tha aur abhi nahane ke baad wapis aaunga. Jhoothe mooh chai peena kisi bhi rasoiye ke liye galat hai. Ijajat chahta hu ji aur chote sahab, agar kuch khas bhi banana ho toh bejhijhak kahiyega. Continental me bhi hath barabar chalta hai mera.", Asgar ne vida lene se pehle fir se dono ko pranaam kiya aur ghar se nikalte hue darwaja wapis dhaal diya.
"Toh flight me koyi pareshani toh nahi aayi? Tum toh barkhurdar 2 din pehle aane wale the lekin lagta hai America kuch jyada he raas aa raha hai. Chalo baaki baat coffee par karte hai.", Vivaan ne abhi toh wo dhai-3 feet ki gudiya apne seene se he laga rakhi thi aur unke pita ek taraf toh dusri taraf Romela sath thi.
"Safar toh aapko pata he hai papa in connecting flights ka. Parso he aa jata lekin wo Krishna bhabhi ke kuch reports lene the jis wajah se thoda samay laga. Aap toh jaise pehle the ab us se bhi kahi atche dikh rahe ho. Aur ye madam adjust ho gayi kya?", Apni biwi ka kandha pyaar se dabate hue Vivaan ne thodi maskhari karni chahi lekin Romela ne mooh banate hue hath jhatak diya. Swabhavik triya-charitra jab pati ko niche lana ho apne. Teeno he ab tak hall me aa chuke the. Mukesh sara samaan ab Romela ke kamre me rakhne laga tha.
"Romela toh Preeti se bhi jaldi adjust hui hai yaha. Aur maine ek bhi shikayat nahi suni apni bahu se ki usko kisi prakar ki taklif hui ho. Baaki ab tum aa gaye ho toh tumhari santushti ka dhyaan jarur rakhenge bhai. Khair, coffee peene ke baad kuch araam karna chaho toh kar lena. Baad me vyast hona he padega.", Apne sasur dwara tareef karne par khoobsurat Romela ke chehre par kahi jyada he chamak aa chuki thi. Wahi Parvati ne table par teeno ke liye coffee ke cup rakhne ke sath he bahar se laya hua akhbar Col sahab ko thama diya.
"Waise lagta hai ab army wale asool thode dheele ho gaye hai aapke, papa. Nahi toh 5 baje tak toh ghar me sab jaag he jaate the pehle."
"Barkhurdar, tum jab yaha rehte the tab ghar me army-man tha. Ab yaha itne barso se ek pauti ka dada rehta hai jiski duniya bas apni us pari ke ird-gird he hai. Wo jab uthegi tab uthegi lekin tum abhi bhi yaha niyam follow karoge.", Col sahab ne hanste hue he cheta diya tha ke jis ghar ki yaadein Vivaan unhe yaad kara raha hai wo dashako purani baat hai.
"Ji Sir.", Majaak me Vivaan ne thoda josh me kehne ke sath he salute mara toh is baar Romela ne unhe chup rehne ka ishara karke ghudki di.
"Bache so rahe hai Viv. Aur bhabhi ke sath Vicki bhi apne kamre me soyi hai. Kuch guests bhi hai yaha toh thoda dhyaan rakho.", Romela ne wo badi si gudiya utha kar Preeti ke kamre ka rukh kiya. Yaha Vivaan ab sadharan hota hua coffee ki chuski lene laga.
"Matlab ye sach hai ki Shankar bhaiya ke bete ke sath he Preeti ab jiwan vyatit karegi? Matlab aisa nahi hai ki main koyi sawaal kar raha hu lekin bas thoda clear karna tha aapse.", Vivaan ne wahi ek pita wala sawaal kiya tha jis par Col sahab muskura diye.
"Tumhari maa ki itcha thi bete ki uski pauti ya pauta bhai sahab ke ghar se hamara aisa rishta barkarar rakhe jis se kabhi bhi pariwar alag na ho. Khair maine ye sab thopa nahi hai aur nahi he us bachpan wale kisse par bhabhi ji ne koyi jor diya tha. Dono bache ek dusre ke sath he khush rehte hai Vivaan aur tum Arjun se miloge toh agar wo tumhe thik na laga toh main jarur bhai sahab se charcha karunga. Aakhir tum he toh akele shubchintak ho Preeti ke.", Is jawab par Vivaan jaise jhemp sa gaya tha aur najre jhukaye wo coffee ki bhaanp leta raha. Romela apni beti ke kamre se bahar aa chuki thi, darwaja band karke.
"Aisa hai Viv ki tum Arjun se kaabil ladka agar dhoond do toh main poori umar tumse koyi sawaal nahi karungi. Lekin us se bhi jaruri baat hai ek bhara-poora suljha hua pariwar jisme har insaan ko uska vyaktigat swaroop swatantrata se milta hai. Ek pal ke liye Arjun ko bhula bhi do toh ye toh nahi bhula sakte na ki Preeti ne mere baad ek maa ka sukh Rekha me he paya hai. Renuka pe tumse jyada haq Shankar jatata hai bhai ke roop me.", Abhi Romela kuch aur bhi bolti ki Vivaan cup ek taraf rakh ke jor jor se hansne laga.
"Hahaha.. toh finally tumhare sabhi sawaal aur shak khatam ho he gaye na Roma? You were tha one who was hesitant and worried. I was sure and I will remain forever. Tau ji toh hain he ek gehra samandar jo khudke pas kuch na rakhte hue sabkuch baant dete hai. Shankar bhai, Inder aur yaha tak ki Madhu bhi jisko dil se ek baar maan lete hai fir uska sath nahi chhodte. Taai ji ne toh khair kabhi mujhe he ye ehsaas nahi hone diya ki main unka beta nahi hu. Papa ko unhone he manaya tha jab main bahar jana chahta tha. Aur Arjun, Rekha bhabhi-Shankar bhaiya ka beta. Us se behtar kya he hoga meri pari ke liye? Ye dono shayad isliye he agal bagal me paida hue honge ki baad me beech wala plot kabza sake.", Vivaan ki baat par ab Col sahab bhi khilkhila kar hans rahe the aur apne gale ke gird ye mulayam se hatho ka ghera mehsoos karte he ek baap ka dil joro se dhadak utha. Ye uski beti he toh thi jiska sparsh matra bata raha tha ke wo is vyakti ka he ansh hai. Kursi se khade ho kar Vivaan ne turant he apni beti ko baahon me bhar liya.
"Oh pops.. I really missed you a lot.", Preeti lambe kadd ki hone ke bawjood apne pita ke gale tak he aa rahi thi aur usko apne seene se lagaye Vivaan ke jaise jajbaat he jawaab de gaye. Wo kuch pal apni beti ko mehsoos karne ke baad wo aweg, wo dur rehne ka dard aur is sneh se bas rone he laga tha. Kaanch ke peeche se un bhoori aankhon me aansu apne aap he behne lage. Baap aur beti ka nischhall pyaar shayad maa-bete se bhi jyada he hota hoga lekin ye dono balidani he rehte hai isliye kamtar he aanka jata hai. Kuch aisa he haal tha Preeti ka jisne apne pita ki kameej par garam paani ki chhaap chodni shuru kar di thi.
"Meri pari meri gudiya.. Tujhe bhi bahot miss kiya maine. Bas ab kameej geeli matt kar kyonki tere aansu pakke rang wale hai.", Is bhavuk pal me Vivaan ne sabit kar diya tha ke wo jiwan ke prati hamesha hansmukh drishtikon he rakhta hai. Baap beti alag hue toh Vivaan ne najakat se Preeti ka maatha choom kar agla majaak shuru kar diya.
"Pados me he toh jana hai ek din. Din me 3-4 baar toh jaati he hogi abhi. Fir ye rona dhona tu rehne he de meri Pari. Teri maa royi thi jab main isko Greece se yaha leke aaya tha. Hahaha", Vivaan ki awaaj sunn kar ab toh Alisha bhi jaag chuki thi aur uske aate he Romela raosi ki taraf chal di. Preeti bhi good morning maami bolne ke baad apne kamre me wapis. Yaha Vivaan thoda asehaj hua lekin Alisha se gale lag kar milta hua wo nahane ka bolte he khisak liya. Kuch toh tha jo filhaal najar nahi aa raha tha lekin vypat tha in teeno ke beech he. Alisha, Romela aur Vivaan ke beech. Filhaal kaun galat tha aur kaun sahi iska fainsla toh anyaas karna mumkin bhi na tha.

"Oh chacha... yaar ye kya pilaya tha raat me?", Sanjiv sar pakde baitha tha jab Narinder ji dand pelne ke baad paseene se tar-batar paani ka jug liye uske he gadde par aa baithe. Apni baniyaan se he wo sharir ka paseena saaf karte hue muskura rahe the. Dusre hath se paani ek gilaas me daalne ke baad unhone wo Sanjiv ko thamate hue kaha.
"Aisa hai beta ke tum chahe policia afsar bann gaye ho lekin ek cheej nahi seekhe.", Narinder ji ki baat sunn kar Sanjiv ne ek saans me he poora gilaas halak me udel liya. Ab wo plastic ki panni se kate hue nimbu, jo shayad kuch der pehle he wo rasoi se le kar aaye the gilass me nichodne lage.
"Kya nahi seekha chacha ji? Sala itna toh pee bhi nahi thi jitna gala sookh raha hai aur sar bhaari ho raha hai."
"Beta tumne pehle toh pee Vodka apne dost ke sath, khaali peit. Taaki mooh se durgandh na aaye lekin khana bhi jaruri hota hai. Uske baad tumne whiskye ka pavva khatam kiya aur fir bina he khana khaaye so gaye. Raat me uthe bhi the tum aur tanki ka paani pee kar wapis so gaye the. Jaante bhi ho raat me tum kya kuch keh rahe the.?", Narinder ji paini nigaah se dekh rahe the apne bhatije ko lekin Sanjiv ka sara dhyaan gilaas me nichood rahe nimbu par he tha aur usme kala namak girane ke baad uske chacha ne 2 ghoont paani daalte he wo uske saamne kar diya. Sanjiv ne jaise he mooh lagaya toh khataas se ek pal wo thithak gaya lekin jaise taise poora khatam karke wo kuch sehaj sa hua.
"Maine kal sachmuch bina kuch khaaye he aadhi bottle khatam kar di thi chacha ji. Lucky ne bola bhi tha mujhe aur fir jab aap log baithe toh main tabtak control me tha jabtak papa waha tha aur fir cigrattee ka kash lagate he jaise mujhe kuch ho gaya tha. Pata nahi chacha mere sath kya hua tha lekin mujhe bas 4 naam yaad hai. Vishnu, Balwan, Arjun aur Ritu. Main Arjun ko kabhi kuch hone nahi dunga. Aur raatbhar mujhe bas bure bure khayaal he aate rahe jaise kabhi ek car palat rahi hai aur main waha nahi hu. Koyi Arjun ko maar raha hai lekin main soya hua hu aur jab main paani peene ke liye utha toh main bahot ghabraya hua tha. Arjun ne apne daaye seene ki taraf hath rakha hua tha aur wo muskura raha tha chacha ji lekin jaise he hath hataya toh waha goli ka chhed tha aur uske baad wo behosh ho gaya. Main tab bhi uske paas nahi tha.", Ye sab batate hue Sanjiv jaise sadme me tha aur Narinder ji ke chehre par hamesha wali muskurahat.
"Sharaab ka ye bhi ek asar hai dost. Tum kal Arjun ke kareeb he hoge jab Lucky ke sath pee rahe the? Aur duniya me ek wahi hai jiske sath tumhara aisa yarana hai jisme bhai, guru, dost, dushman aur salahkaar tak ek he insaan ho? Atchi baat hai ki tum uski parwah karte ho lekin sharaab ke baad aksar aise khayaal aate hai jab aapka itna khaas insaan aapke kareeb ho. Chalo ab utho aur thoda sa tehal lo. Phir kele aur doodh ka mishran le kar thoda araam kar lena, hangover khatam ho jayega.", Narinder ji ne Sanjiv ki peeth halke se thapthapate hue kuch haunsla diya. Sanjiv bhi apni jagah se uth khada hua kyonki aaj uski haldi, mehandi aur fir raat me sangeet ka karyakram tha. 25-30 dost toh uske bhi the jo kal shaadi me shareek hone ke liye aane wale the shaam tak.
"Waise ek baat saanjhi karni thi aapse. Wo kya hai na ki Arjun ne ek baar khwaab dekha tha ki wo mujhe kandhe pe liye ja raha hai aur mere sar se khoon beh raha tha us samay. Ek hath ne uska paanv pkad kar usko rok liya tha. Ye sach hua tha jab Mohar Singh ne humla kiya tha. Aap bhi sochna ki sharaab wala Sanjiv galat ho bhi sakta hai lekin aise khwaab kuch toh ishara karte he honge.", Sanjiv dhime kadmo se niche chala gaya tha aur peeche chhod gaya tha apne chacha ko us gehri soch me chhod kar jiske baare me kabhi Narinder sochna bhi nahi chahta tha.
'Tujhse kya kahu mere bete ki tere sapne toh kuch bhi nahi. Maine khud ko dekha hai nirjiv lekin chehre par muskaan thi ki bagal me gire mere bhai ki saansein kayam thi aur mere pita humse 100 kadam he dur the, hath me pistol liye. Senkdo baar wo khwaab mujhe aaya hai aur aaj bhi aaya tha.', Narinder ne baniyaan diwar par daal kar raat ki utari hui tshirt pehan ne ke baad Umed aur Shankar ko jagaya aur fir dhyaan mudra me ja baitha. Sapno aur vastvikta ke beech ek ankahi antakshri hamesha he chalti hai jisme aksar humko ehsaas nahi hota ki hum kis taraf haare hai. Narinder ko bhaan tha kyonki wo Indrajeet bhi tha aur mrityu ke saamne nidar rehne wala bhi.
Aaj ghar me dhol shuru hone wale the toh ye waqt katai in baaton ka na tha. Vivaah utsav prarambh.
