Update 194
Haq aur Haqiqat
"Pareshan ho wo bhi jaane kitni baaton se!! Main samajh sakti hu lekin utna bhi nahi jitna tum. Aakhir kuch toh aisa hai na Aaru jisme main tumhare sath shamil nahi hu.?", Wo ugrata jaane kaha chali gayi thi Arjun ki. Ab wo aaveshit na ho kar bas ek thake haare musafir ki tarah Ritu ke nirvastra seene par sar tikaye leta tha. Arjun ke baalo me ungliya firati Ritu bhi sansarg bhula kar bas apne bhai ko shaant rakh rahi thi. Uske sehlane se he jaise Arjun aadha dukh-dard bhool gaya tha.
"Meri uthal puthal tum jaisa gehra samandar he samet sakta hai Ritu aur main jaanta hu ki sirf sammaan ki wajah se tum khul kar nahi bol rahi.", Arjun ka jism jaise Ritu ke liye maayne he nahi rakhta tha aur wo uska bhaar badi asaani se liye sar thapakti hui muskuraai.
"Tum jo ashleel shabd bol rahe the kuch der pehle, unko kehne wali bhi toh tumhe yaad kar rahi hogi? Tumse sehan nahi ho raha na unka ab kisi aur ka ho jana? Lekin yahi niyati hai Arjun aur isme tumhara koyi dakhal nahi. Abhi toh sirf ek ki kami tumhe andar he andar pareshan kar rahi hai lekin aane wale samay me jyadatar ke sath yahi hoga.", Madhuri ka naam liye bagair Ritu ne Arjun ko samjha diya tha ke uska ankaha sach aur pareshani kya hai. Aur kahi na kahi ye sach bhi tha ke Arjun ke dil me aaj pehli bar tees uthi jab usko vastavikta ka abhaas Ritu ne karwaya.
"Mera bhi toh haq hai na Ritu?"
"Haan bilkul hai.. Tumhara haq. Bas wo kitna hai aur kab tak isko samajh jao toh dard kam hoga Aaru. Itna vaada karti hu ki main apni aakhiri saans tak sirf aur sirf tumhare pehlu me rahungi. Kayi baar halaat ke saamne jhukna bhi padega aur tootna bhi lekin jo naam tumne mujhe ekaant me diya hai wo mera-hamara poora bhavishya hoga. Tabtak tum har jaane wale ka kirdaar mujhe de sakte ho. Yakeen karo isme bhi bahot maja aane wala hai. Hahaha..", Ritu ki baat sunn kar Arjun ne sar utha kar usko hanste dekha toh wo bhi muskurane laga. Ritu Madhuri didi ka kirdar nibhane ki baat kar rhi thi aur uske bas is majaak matra se Arjun ka dil halka ho gaya. Sarak kar wo barabar aa leta. Ritu ko dono bahon me peeche se bhar kar panje un khuli hawa me saans lete vaksho par rakh unka akaar jaanchte hue.
"Damini bua ke baare me tumhari kya raaye hai? Wo waisa kar sakti hai is baat ko main abhi tak hajam nahi kar pa raha hu.", Ritu ne apne vaksho ko sehlate hath ko wahi dabate hue kamar atche se Arjun ke jism se chipka li. Chehra palat kar ek baar apne naram hontho se Arjun ke honth choom kar wo batane lagi apne anumaan.
"Ek rishta aur bhi hai unka aur papa ka jo anjaane he shayad maa bhi jaan chuki hai jab wo udhar gayi thi Vinod chacha ke bete ke samay. Mujhe ye Alka ne bataya tha jab maa aur taai ji baat kar rahi thi aur usko thoda bahot sunaai de gaya. Taai ji ke hisaab se toh wo rishta tab se hai jab Damini bua ki shaadi bhi nahi hui thi. Lekin kya ye ek sehamti wala ya pyaar se bana hua rishta hoga?", Ritu ke ek khaas baat ye bhi thi ki gambhir batchit ke waqt wo shabdo ka chunaav bahot anushashit tarah se karti thi. Ek baar bhi usne ye na kaha tha ke Damini ke sath Shankar ke avaidh sambandh the. Arjun bas sunn raha tha jaise usko bhi ye baat pata ho.
"Agar ye sehmati wala na hua toh? Is se wo sach toh nahi badlega na ki unhone he maa ko jakhmi kiya?"
"Jajbaati bahot jaldi ho jaate ho tum aur kisi din yahi maar kha jaoge. Ab bua ki shaadi se pehle agar waisa kuch hua hai toh jarur uske peeche wajah hogi na ? Papa aise nahi hai Aaru aur wo kisi bhi insaan ko kabhi apne tak nahi aane dete. Kisse dabe chhipe hum sabhi ne sune honge lekin baat nahi karte is baare me. Aur mujhe abhi bhi ajeeb lag raha hai lekin yaha main tumhare sath hu isliye himmat kar pa rahi hu aur hum khul kar baat nahi karenge.", Ritu ne ek paanv Arjun par chadhate hue sar uski majboot baah par tika liya.
"Haan sahi kaha aur main bhi wo baat nahi karna chahta.", Arjun ne Ritu ke gaal par aaye baalo ko fir se piche karte hue jawaab diya.
"Nadaan umar me ya toh galti hoti hai ya phir koyi situation he aisi bann jaaye jisme dono ke kadam behak jaaye toh waisa ho jata hai. Lekin agar mamla pyaar ka hota toh milna julna laga rehta jo ki nahi hua jitna main samajhti hu. Ab jo baat mera dil keh raha hai lekin dimag usko sahi nahi bata raha wo ye hai ki papa ko waisi situation me laya gaya hoga jaise shikari ke saamne shikar rakh kar bada shikari uska he shikar kare. Umed chacha papa ko Bhole bulate hai kyonki ye unka sach hai Aaru aur mera mann keh raha hai ki Damini bua shikar bhi nahi thi aur unko parosne wala koyi choti soch wala toh bilkul nahi ho sakta. Khel barso purana hai jiske peeche jo bhi hai wo pariwar ke har sadasya ko jaanta hai, kamjori aur taqat ko bhi.", Ritu ke samjhane par Arjun jaise kuch ulajh sa gaya.
"Wo phir maa naam na bata kar usko bacha kyun rahi thi? Baat khulti aur Damini bua ka sach saamne aata toh kya pata unke peeche jo bhi ho wo bhi pakda jata.", Arjun se asehmati jatati Ritu ne hanste hue usko apne gale se laga liya.
"Maa itni bewkoof bhi nahi hai darling aur unke liye pariwar sabse upar hai. Pehli baat toh ye hai ki agar humla Damini bua ne kiya hai toh wo jaldbaaji kar gayi aur unhe ummeed nahi hai ki maa unhe pehchan gayi hogi. Dusri baat ye hai ki aisa bahot jaldi se hua hoga aur maa salamat hai jaisa mujhe nahi lagta ki Damini ko ummeed hogi us samay aur maa ka ghaav maine atche se dekha tha jiska matlab koshish toh unhe jaan se maarne ki he hogi par ho na saka aur hota bhi nahi kyonki maa sambhal sakti hai 2-3 Damini bade araam se. Ab jab Damini ko he nahi pata ke usko wo dekh chuki hai ya jaise tumne pata laga liya choti se chook se toh wo nischint hai. Maa bhi khamoshi se bas intjaar he karengi jisme wo maahir hai lekin us samay par unke sath us bade shikari ki tarah takkar ka shikari jarur hoga.", Ritu baar baar shikari wali baat kar rahi thi jis par Arjun ko halki si jhunjhalat hui.
"Kaun shikari aur maa ka sath kaun de sakta hai? Jaise wo bata he nahi rahi toh aage bhi waisa he karengi."
"Ooohhh mera Aaru toh gussa ho gaya.. Tum samajhdar ho bhi ya bas sabne bol bol kar tumhare dimag me fit kar diya.? Khel aaj ka nahi hai toh matlab Damini bua ko prayog kiya hoga Devaki daadi ya chote dada ji ne lekin ye ek najuk pehlu hai jis par tum ya main hath nahi daal sakte. Dada ji kabhi is se sehmat nahi honge kyonki unke liye chote dada ji sirf bhai na ho kar unki maa ki aakhiri nishani/jimmewari hai. Haan yaha wo bade shikari se bada agar koyi hai toh wo hai daadi, jinke saamne baaki kisi ki nahi chalti aur unme itna dhairya hai ki hum tum sachmuch waise kabhi nahi bann sakte. Samay aane par jarur wo maa se baat karengi aur unhe jaise bahot kuch pehle se pata hai jis wajah se wo humko gaanv wale pariwar se jyada ghulne milne nahi deti. Ab tum waha ja rahe ho aur wo chintit hai kyonki tum ho bhi toh ghatna kism ke insaan. Jaha jaate ho musibat bhi paida kar dete ho bina wajah. Abhi bhi tumne plan bana rakhe honge jo tum batane nahi wale lekin main yaad dila du ki aisa kuch mat kar dena ki dada ji he tumhe vanvaas de de.", Ritu kab Arjun ko seedha karte hue uske jism par chha gayi, is charcha me khoya Arjun dekh na saka. Wo lajwaab tha apni is behan/premika ke dimag ke saamne. Ritu har ek baat ka pehlu gehraai se samajhti thi aur utna he behtar bayaan bhi karti thi. Yahi ek aur baat thi jis wajah se Arjun hamesha uske saamne ghutne tek deta tha.
"Toh main maa ko wo naam bata du jaane se pehle?", Arjun ye mehnat isliye toh kar raha tha.
"Bilkul aur unke siwa kisi ko bhi nahi. Wo shayad apne aap tak he simat chuki hai aur tumhi unhe ehsaas karwa sakte ho ki sabko unki parwah bhi hai aur jarurat bhi.", Ritu ki baat Arjun bhali bhanti samajh chuka tha. Aur shayad wo sab bhi jis wajah se uski maa ne naam na lene ka irada kiya tha.
"Aisa bhi ho sakta hai na ki maa isliye khamosh hai ki papa ko saamne kiya ja sakta hai aur unko he galat dikha kar dada ji ka swabhimaan.", Arjun ne gehri hoti hui is raat me aasman ko dekha toh waha chaand toh nahi tha lekin timtimate taaro ka varschasva jarur tha. Shayad aaj aasman ki jagah chaand ki jarurat Arjun ko adhik thi. Apna hridya shaant rakhne ke liye.
"Tumhe ab college me hona chahiye tha lekin dekho eleventh me pahuche ho. Ab mujhe sone do aur baaki baat subah.", Ritu ne sansarg ki chahat na dikhate hue Arjun se chipak kar sone ko prathmikta di. Aisa jarur tha ke vastro ke naam par dono ke jism bas us patli si safed chaadar me seene tak dhak chuke the. Arjun mand mand muskura raha tha apni badi behan se ye meethi jhidak kha kar. Ritu ne jo jawaab diya tha uska matlab yahi tha ki Arjun baat ko deri se samajhta hai ya prakat karta hai jabki Arjun aisa sirf Ritu ke he saamne karta tha, is meethi jhidak aur pyaar ke liye. Apne seene par Ritu ko sulaaye wo halke hatho se thapki deta hua khud bhi gehri neend me chala gaya. Madhuri didi filhal uski soch se bahar ho chuki thi lekin Madhuri ki sasural me waisa biklul na tha.
.
.
"Tumhari ye khushbu Madhuri, mujhe pagal bana rahi hai. Aur kitni haseen ho tum.", Gorav poori tarah upar chha chuka tha Madhuri ke jism par. Uski uttejjana dekh andar he andar Madhuri hairaan thi aur jaise aaj usne dekha tha sharaab ka alag he prabhav. Un parvat se vishal chucho ko dabana beshak Gorav ke liye ek naya aur majedar ehsaas tha parantu aaj Madhuri siwaye tees aur apne pati ki jaldbaji ke kuch mehsoos he nahi kar rahi thi. Aanan faanan me kab gown ke button alag hue aur kab us dheeli bra se wo motte kharbuje se stann bahar nikle, Madhuri ko khabar tak na lagi. Gorav toh unke aafreen jaal me aisa qaid hua ki bina deri kiye kisi bhukhe bache sa toot pada.
"Ohhh.. Tum kya bala ho Madhuri.? Ab aur nahi ruk sakta.", Chucho ko choosta hua ek hath niche le ja kar apna payjama kholne laga aur Madhuri nirvirodh uske niche waise he rahi. Wo khud ko mann he mann samjha rahi thi ki Gorav galat nahi hai aur shayad ye uske jiwan me pehla avsar hai sharirik milan ka jis wajah se wo itna utsahit hai. Gardan ek taraf karti hui Madhuri ne aankhen he moond li jab uski faili hui taango ke beech Gorav ne tatol kar phuli hui yoni ke hontho ko jancha. Wo uski sanrachna samajhne ki koshish karne ke sath he apne akde hue ling se bhi joojh raha tha. Majboot jism ke sath he ausat se behtar ling ka maalik tha Gorav aur uska prayaas rang laya jab wo yoni ki daraar par apna kukurmutte sa supada bhidane me kaamyab raha. Us garam sparsh se ek pal ko toh Madhuri kaanp si gayi jisko nashe ke bawjood Gorav samjha.
"Shhh.. dard hoga lekin pehli baar aisa hota hai. Maine kitab me bhi padha tha aur vyask film me bhi aisa dekha hua hai Madhuri. Bas galat mat samajhna.", Gorav ke aise khulase par Madhuri ko kuch behtar laga ki wo abhi bhi uski parwah kar raha hai lekin soch se bahar aati us se pehle he uske jism ko tej jhatka laga. Gorav ne anaadipan dikhate hue ek he jhatke me apna samoocha ling andar thok diya tha.
"Aaaiii.. ruko aahhh..", Madhuri ki cheekh kuch toh sookhi yoni me wo 7 inchi ling ek baar samane se aur kuch Gorav ki ungliyan kandhe me dhansne se nikli. Kuch aisa he haal uske pati ka bhi tha jisne na teil prayog kiya aur na Madhuri ko tayaar. Ling ka tanka is umar me toota tha Gorav ka jiska matlab tha ki wo hasthmaithun ka bhi aadi na tha. Kuch pal dono he is mudra me khamoshi se apna dard kam karte rahe aur Madhuri ke hath apne aap he Gorav ki chaudi peeth par. Isko ek mook sehmati samajh Gorav ne shuruaat me he jordar dhakke jadd diye. Wo bekarar tha aur usko kaise bhi khud ko halka karna tha, Madhuri ke jism par haq jamane ke sath sath.
"Uhhh.. dhire Gorav.. aahh.. ", Madhuri ki siskiyan mili juli thi lekin usko bas maje ki jagah Gorav ka anadipan jyada dukh de raha tha. Kisi belagaam ghode sa Gorav agle 3-4 minute tabadtod dhakke lagata hua Madhuri ki najuk maansal yonki ko jeetne me laga raha. Thapp thapp ki awaaj bas uske baad tabhi khatam hui jab haanfta hua wo Madhuri ke jism par ludhak gaya. Kitne he samay se sanjoya hua veerya wo Madhuri ki yoni me udal kar hanfta raha. Saansein kuch durust hui toh nasha utar chuka tha.
"Mujhe maaf karna Madhuri. Offo ye kya kar diya maine?", Gorav uthte he wo jagah dekhne laga jaha safed veerya ke sath sath halka lahu laga tha. Apne saaf payjame se he wo us yoni ko saaf karte hue baar baar Madhuri se maafi maang raha tha jabki Madhuri ne bas itna he kaha.
"Fikar mat kijiye. Sab thik hai bas aap jaise apne aap me he nahi the. Shayad sharaab ki wajah se. Main bathroom se aati hu aur aap bhi saaf kar lijiye.", Madhuri apne jism par gown durust karti hui halki ladkhadahat se chalti hui gayi toh Gorav ne ek baar usko aur fir apne ling ko dekha jo ab thithil ho chuka tha.
"Bhog he liya na tune bechari ko? Sab pyaar se karna tha lekin na tu kaabu me tha aur saali ye sharab ka beda garak ho. Kitni masoom hai meri biwi aur maine bas apni manmaani he ki.", Gorav ye khud se he keh raha tha aur kunthit mann se kapde pehan kar usne bister thik kiya. Madhuri se najre milane ki himmat nahi thi isliye karwat leta wo aankhe moond kar uske aane se pehle he so gaya. Saaf safaai ke sath he Madhuri ko apne badan par jagah jagah chhili hui khaal par bhi cream lagani padi. Yoni ka haal utna bura na tha lekin ye pehla sansarg tha jisme usko ek pal bhi aisa na laga jaise lagna chahiye tha. Haan Gorav ki baaton ne kuch had tak malham ka kaam kiya aur ab jiwanbhar wo uski patni thi isliye jism par haq bhi uska tha. Jabtak wo bahar aayi Gorav so chuka tha. Naye ghar me pehli raat aisi rehne ka malaal ab utna na tha. Gorav ko chaadar udha kar Madhuri bhi bagal me ja leti. Jaane kitni he der wo khayalo me khoyi jaagti rahi aur jab neend aane ka samay hua toh ghadi ne 4 bajne ka shor macha diya.

"Ji ye Inder aaj itni subah tayaar ho kar kidhar ja raha hai?", Ghar me subah he chehal-pehal shuru ho gayi thi aur aisa har roj he hota tha lekin aaj shayad wajah ye bhi thi ki Krishneshwar ji ne apni biwi aur bahu ke sath wapis nikalna tha. Hussain sahab bhi naha kar namaaj se farig hone ke baad chai ki pyaali apne dost Narinder aur unke pita ke sath farma rahe the. Kaushalya ji bahar aayi tab tak Narinder ek chamde ka bag liye ghar se nikal chuka tha.
"Kuch nahi Kaushalya bas ek jaruri kaam tha usko jameen ka dusre shehar me. Shaam tak laut aayega aur abhi Hussain bhi nikalne laga hai. Tum jara bahu (Hussain sahab ki biwi) aur bacho se mil lo. Phir Arjun bhi aata hoga aur Krishan bhi tayaar ho raha hai.", Rameshwar ji ne saleeke se jawaab diya tha aur Kaushalya ji bhi is maamle me jyada sawaal nahi karti thi. Unke bhitar jaate he Hussain sahab ne achraj se Pandit ji ko dekha toh wo muskurane lage.
"Har baat ki jaankari toh humko he nahi rehti beta phir ye toh hamari grahsthi ki neev hai jiska bojh hum badhana nahi chahte. Waise suna ke tum Hyderabad me bhi transport ka daftar khol rahe ho?", Rameshwar ji ne jis tarah mudda palta tha yakinan Hussain is se wakif tha.
"Ji chacha ji. Idhar ek transport hai aur mere sath 4 rishteydar bhi jude hue hai toh kaam utna nahi hai. Udhar bhi parichit hai aur Zubeidaa ke ek mama bhi kaafi arse se jame hue hai toh kaam failana behtar he hoga. Waise bhara-poora ghar kitni jaldi khali sa mehsoos hone laga hai.", Krishneshwar ji ki gaadi me driver samaan rakhne laga tha aur itna samaan dekh Hussain ko bhi thoda tajjub tha.
"Mele kabhi na kabhi toh khatam hote he hai beta. Aur ghar pariwar aksar subah-raat khaali lagte hai par hote nahi. Shankar bhi aata hoga aur baaki itne bache bahu hai ghar me toh ek chota sa mela har waqt laga rehta hai.", Preeti ne ghar me kadam rakha toh uske sath saji sanwari Afsana bhi thi. Gulabi salwar kameej aur sar ko dupatte se dhake Afsana utni he masoom lag rahi thi jitni pehle din. Bas ab uske chehre par darr ki jagah khushi rehti thi. Jeena seekhne ki khushi. Rameshwar ji ko namastey karti hui wo dono andar jaane lagi toh unhone Preeti ko rok liya.
"Beta, dekhna jara Sanjiv uth gaya ho toh. Arjun abhi tak nahi aaya jabki wo 5 se pehle he jaag jata hai. Sanjiv ko bol dena ki usko bula laaye.", Ghadi me sadhe 5 baj rahe the aur apne paute ko nadard dekh Rameshwar ji ko kami lagi. Preeti ne Sanjiv ko na jagate hue khud he usko bula kar laane par vichar kiya lekin ekdum se Pandit ji ko Arjun ka pata na bata kar. Pehle wo andar gayi jaha Rekha ji ka haalchal liya aur fir Komal didi se baat karke wapis bahar aa gayi.
"Dada ji, Arjun raat me pichle ghar gaya tha. Ritu aur Alka didi ki wajah se. Main he bula kar aati hu abhi.", Preeti ne aage unka jawaab na suna aur waise he bahar nikal gayi.
"Soch raha hu ke wo ghar bhi abaad kar du lekin pehle telephone ka connection karwana padega Hussain. Ghar ye bhi bada hai aur amuman 20-25 log araam se reh lete hai par sabhi ko apna kamra chahiye jaise jaise bade ho rahe hai. Waise tum mile hoge is bachi se?", Rameshwar ji ka mann halka ho gaya ye jaan kar ki Arjun ghoomne nahi gaya.
"Wo ghar bhi bahot bada hai chacha ji lekin kamre aapne 4-5 he banwaye hai udhar. Ab toh aalishan dikhne laga jabse rang-rogan karwaya hai aur maine dekha tha ke sukh-suvidha bhi poori hai. Lekin waha kaun rahega itna pyara ghar chhod kar?", Hussain sahab ka bhi dil laga tha is pariwar me aur unki baat bhi sahi thi.
"Haan ye toh baat hai ki waha kaun rahega. Baat karta hu teeno beto se ki agar unme se koyi chahe toh waha chala jaaye. Ghar me rehne se he ghar abaad rehta hai nahi toh 2-3 mahine me he fir jaale lag jayenge aur ghaas badi. Koyi nahi gaya toh fir Arjun ko he waha sone bhej diya karunga. Sambhal rahegi.", Rameshwar ji ki baat hote he galiyare se bag uthaye Anamika aur Devaki ji aaye. Unke sath he Kaushalya ji, Priyanka, Krishna, Rajkumar ji the. Rajkumar ji ne swayam he wo bag gaadi me rakhwaye aur nanhe bache ko sabne shagun diye. Anamika paanv chhoone badhi toh Rameshwar ji ne mana kar diya.
"Beta, bas khush raho aur bhagwan tum par apni kripa sada banaye rakhe. Arjun waha ja raha hai aur mujhe poori ummeed hai ki tum samay samay par uski khinchai karti rahogi. Waise wo bandar kuch nahi karta isliye kaam me lagaye rakhna usko. Krishan, wo tumhare sath nahi ja raha?", Rameshwar ji jaise is baat se anjaan the ki Arjun kaise jaane wala hai. Lekin apne bade sasur ji ke aise sanvaad par na chahte hue bhi Anamika ke chehre par jarur khushi aayi.
"Bhai sahab bhabhi bata rahi thi ki Arjun motorgaadi se khud he aane wala hai. Jab hum log wahi ja rahe hai toh wo bhi sath he chalta."
"Nahi nahi. Agar usne yahi socha hai aur tumhari bhabhi ko jaankari hai toh usko karne do. Wo apna saadhan le ja raha hai toh jarur usko jarurat rahegi waha. Khair main toh ab saavan ke baad he aaunga tumhare paas lekin tum niyam se telephone jarur karte rehna. Arjun ke baare me kuch bhi baat ho, pehle mujhe batana. Ab dhoop hone lagegi aur pauta naajuk bhi hai.", Rameshwar ji ke kehne ka matlab Krishneshwar bhali bhanti samajh raha tha. Bhaiya bhabhi ka aashirwad lete hue wo khud gaadi ki agli seat par baithe aur devrani jethani ki aupcharik mulakaat ke baad Devaki bhi apni bahu ke sath pichli seat par. Kaushalya ji ne car ghar se rukhsat hone se pehle gadvi se jal jameen par arpit karte hue mangal kaamna ki aur uske baad Krishneshwar ji sapriwar vida hue.
"Ghar me aajkal bahot kuch ho raha hai jiski jaankari hum tak nahi aati.", Rameshwar ji ne wapis kadam baithak ki taraf le jaate hue apni ardhangini se sawaal kiya.
"Aisa toh aap bhi karte hai lekin main sawaal nahi karti. Aur rahi baat Arjun ki waha motorcycle le jaane wali toh wo maine he kaha tha. Aap jaante he ho ke shehar aur jameen kuch duri par hai aur bacha waha ghoomega tabhi toh jaanega. Haan safar lamba hai lekin aise he wo duniya dekhega. Aur main nahi chahti ki wo Vinod ya Krishan ki gaadi istemaal kare.", 2 took baat keh kar Kaushalya ji se fir se andar ki taraf badh gayi aur Rameshwar ji sar khujate hue tayaar hone lage. Arjun ki awaaj unhe sunaai de gayi thi jo apni badi behan Komal se baat karta hua ghar ke pichle hisse me jaate galiyare se gujar raha tha.
.

"Tumse toh bhai humne jyada baat ki bhi nahi aur dekho ab nikalna pad raha hai. Fursat mile toh ab kuch waqt bitane tum bhi aana beta hamare ghar.", Hussain sahab aur unke pariwar se milte hue Arjun ne unke charan sparsh kiye. Gale laga kar Hussain sahab ne is bharpoor tagde yuvak ko jancha toh unhe atcha laga ke Arjun unke dost jaisa he hai. Afsana najre bachati hui apna vyavasthit samaan fir se dekh rahi thi ya jaise wo waha rukna chahti thi filhal jabtak Arjun tha.
"Jarur aaunga uncle lekin rukne ka toh pata nahi abhi. Aapke paas se toh XXXX bhi 70-75 kilometer he hai. Shehar aana hua toh aapse bhi mil kar jaunga aur aunty ji ke hath ka nashta bhi jarur karunga. Aap sachmuch khana bahot atcha banati hai aunty bas ye Zubeidaa didi na mujhse jyada khaati hai toh inke sath nahi baantne wala. Alag plate me khaunga.", Arjun ke aise majaak par sabhi hansne lage the aur Kaushalya ji ne mooh banati hui Zubeidaa ko sar sehla kar bataya ki yahi Arjun ka tarika hai usko sataane ka.
"Daadi ji, ye ek baar aaye toh sahi hamare ghar phir dekhna main iski kya haalat karti hu. Main isko khaane nahi deti? Ulta ye darjan ke hisab se poodiyan dakaar jata hai. Ammi, jis din ye janaab aaye us din rasoi humko sambhalne dena. Galti se bhi aainda ye aisi gustakhi nahi karega. Huh..", Zubeidaa ki nautanki dekh kar Krishna ji ne uske sar par chapat laga di.
"Seedha bol na ke ab tu bhi rasoi seekhna chahti hai. Atchi baat hai aur saal ya 2 saal me tera niqaah bhi ho jana hai."
"Afsana begam ka hoga mera nahi chachi. Hamari zindagi ke fainsle toh hum he lenge aur ye shaadi-niqaah jaise mamle toh hume pasand nahi. Baaki main toh aur rukna chahti thi lekin hamari ammi jaan kehti hai ke abhi jana hoga. Atcha toh daadi ji wo aap kya kehti hai, aagya dijiye. Haan ab aagya dijiye hum sabhi ko.", Shankar ji itni tej aati awaajo ki taraf kab chale aaye un sabhi ko khabar bhi nahi hui par Zubidaa ki baat unhone bhi suni.
"Ijajat dijiye bhi kaam kar jata hai beti. Maa ko urdu bhi atche se aati hai. Aur Hussain yar tum akele Inder ke sath party karke nikal rahe ho. Mujhe toh mauka bhi nahi diya.", Ladkiyon ko khaas uphar saunpte hue unhone Hussain se bhi hath milaya aur maa ke hamesha ki tarah gale lage. Arjun taai ji ki awaaj par bahar nikalne laga toh usne Afsana ki un chamakti aakhon me khudka he aks dekha, ek kshann ke liye sahi lekin wo najre aapas me takraai thi. Andaaj aisa tha jaise us ek pal me hajaro sawaal kar gayi jinke jawaab Arjun ke paas hote bhi kaise jab sawaal he samajh na aaye. Aur ye dekha kisi aur ne bhi lekin Arjun bahar nikal aaya.
"Beta, tere bhai ko utha de.", Rasoi me Lalita ji ke paas saji sanwri Radhika bhabhi ko dekh Arjun jaise unki baat he ansuni kar gaya. Baar baar saree ko sahi karti hui Radhika aise pareshan chehre me bhi khoobsurat lag rahi thi. Rasoighar me nashte ki mehak ke bawjood khushbu bikherti Radhika bhabhi ka ye avtaar Arjun ke dimaag me bas gaya. Dono ki najre mili toh Arjun ne aage badh kar ghutne tekte hue saree ki plate khud he sahi kar di.
"Bhabhi good morning. Lagta hai aapko saree ki aadat nahi hai? Taai ji, aap he sikha dena kyonki saree me bhabhi atchi lagti hai.", Arjun itna bol kar apni taai ka gaal choomta hua upari manjil ki aur daud gaya. Jaha uska bada bhai abhi tak raat ki mehnat se thaka rangeen khawab dekh raha tha. Rasoighar me sharmati hui Radhika jhuki palko se mand mand muskura bhi rahi thi.
"Mera lalla na kuch poochta nahi Radhika bitiya aur uski aisi harkato ka bura bhi nahi maan na. Baat uski sahi hai ke tum saree me atchi lagti ho lekin chaho toh salwar kameej bhi pehan sakti ho. Kisi ko aapatti nahi hogi. Waise tumhe yaha dekh kar maa ji jarur mujhe tok dengi. Tum Rekha ke paas baitho, main chai le kar udhar he aati hu. Pehle tumhare chacha sasur ko paani de du.", Lalita ji se pehle Priyanka he gilaas bhar ke le jaati hui boli.
"Taai ji, bade papa ko main paani de rahi hu. Aur bhabhi aap bhi uncle aunty se mil lo. Daadi ji ne kaha hai.", Radhika ko hath pakad kar Priyanka sath le gayi toh Lalita ji ne chai ki tray lete hue apni devrani ke kamre ka rukh kiya. Arjun bhi seedhiyon se daudta sa niche aa raha tha. Sanjiv shayad uth gaya hoga. Rekha ji ke kamre me bhi wo apni taai se pehle pravesh karta seedha apni maa ki bagal me ja pasra. Rekha ji abhi bhi bister par thi lekin aadatan nahane ke baad. Hath ki patti bacha kar.
"Maa, aap kam se kam aaj toh nahana taal deti. Taai ji aap he inhe rok diya karo.", Arjun ko apne sath aise lipta dekh Rekha ji bas muskuraai aur uske chehre ko taakti rahi. Anjaane he unki aankhen bheeg gayi apne bete ka chehra itne kareeb dekh aur Lalita ji chai ki tray table par rakhti hui khamoshi se bahar chali gayi. Is lamhe me wo bhi shamil nahi hona chahti thi. Apni maa ko aise muskurane ke sath sath bhigi aankhon me dekh Arjun ne pehle toh kamre ko dekha aur fir wapis unki baah par sar rakh liya.
"Aap khush hai ya dukhi? Khush toh nahi ho sakti kyonki main mahine bhar aapse dur rahunga aur dukhi hongi toh batayengi nahi. Jaanti ho maa, aapke jaisa dil shayad papa ka bhi nahi hai kyonki wo ijhaar toh karte hai chahe kabhi kabhi sahi.", Arjun ne us nami ko apne hath se saaf karte hue wo aansu apne seene par paunch liye. Uski ye harkat dekh Rekha ji ne aahista se uske maathe par honth rakh kar khamosh ijhaar kar he diya.
"Ab tum bade ho gaye ho aur aajkal sabhi kaam apni marji se karne lage ho toh main kya baat karu tumse? Jaanti hu ki naraaj ho tum mujhse lekin kya mujhe itna bhi haq nahi ki main apne bache ko parshani se dur rakhu? Tum mujhe mahina toh kya ek pal bhi dur nahi ho sakte Arjun. Meri saansein apne is bete me basti hai aur saans toh chalengi he. Bas tumhe ek mahina dekh na sakungi isliye aansu aa gaye lekin tumhare chehre par jo jeet hai uski khushi bhi hai mujhe.", Ye jaane kya adrishya taaqat thi ek maa me jo apne bete ko itni gehraai se padh leti thi.
"Aur jeet ki wajah nahi jaan na chahogi maa?", Arjun ne wo patti bandha hath apne dono hatho me lete hue dekha jaha uski maa ko ek ghar ke he sadasya ne jakhm de diya tha.
"Bolna jaruri toh nahi Arjun? Naam aksar sunaai de jaate hai aur abhi khamoshi he behtar hai beta.", Rekha ji ne wahi hath Arjun ke seene par rakh diya jaise unhe jakhm hua he na ho.
"Lekin aisa kyun maa? Aksar ghar ko bachate bachate hum dekh nahi paate ki jameen bhi dhansti rehti hai bahar ki maar se. Aap kya aatmrakhsa me bhi vishwas nahi karti?", Arjun unki kalaai ko abhi bhi hatho me liye tha aur apni maa ke pehlu me kisi bache sa leta wo chehre se gambhir tha.
"Badi badi baatein karne lage ho tum. Lekin main chahti hu abhi tum bas ye samay khul kar jiyo. Apne liye aur duniya dekho. Ghar toh surakshit haatho me hai aur tumhare papa isko barkaraar rakhenge. Mera khayaal rakhne ke liye bhi maa ji se le kar tumhari behne aur sabhi log hai. Bas tum apna samay galat umar me jaaya kar rahe ho aise bematlab paheliyan suljhane me."
"Toh aap nahi chahti ki main aapke pas rahu? Aapka khayaal rakhu aur agar aapko pareshani ho toh main kuch bhi na karu?", Arjun baal-sulabh gussa dikha raha tha jisko dekh Rekha ji ke chehre par wahi hansi chha gayi jo Arjun ka mann pal me halka kar deti thi. Maa ko khush dekh wo mooh ferne laga toh uske gaal ko choom kar Rekha ji ne khudse usko dono baahon me bhar liya.
"Tum hamesha aise gussel he rahoge? Main jaanti hu tum meri parwah karte ho aur khayaal bhi rakh sakte ho. Bas abhi tum in choti moti baaton par dhyaan matt diya karo. Waise tumhare jaane se maa ji, Krishna didi aur Ritu sabse jyada dukhi rehne wali hai. Aur main ye bhi dekh sakti hu ki Ritu bahar khadi hui sab sunn kar ro bhi rahi hai.", Rekha ji ne aadhe dhale darwaje ke bahar parchaai se he pata kar liya tha ke wo Ritu hai aur maa ki thodi tej awaaj sunn kar wo tej kadmo se andar dakhil hoti hui unki dusri taraf ja lipti. Ritu sachmuch ro rahi thi aur apni maa ki peeth me chehra chupaye wo thoda kass kar lipat gayi.
"Wo mere jaane se nahi, aapki haalt se dukhi hai maa. Aap har samay kitna positive rehti hai jabki aisa karke shayad aap khud ko he bhula rahi hai. Didi, papa ne dekh liya toh meri shaamat aa jaayegi. Ab rona band karo.", Ritu ko hilate hue Arjun ne ye yaad dilaya ki ghar me uske pita bhi hai. Ritu jhatt se uth kar mooh saaf karne lagi thi aur uske laal gaalo ko dekh Arjun mooh chidhane laga. Rekha ji ne usko baahon se nikaal kar apni is beti ko seene par lagaya toh Ritu ne unke hath ka khayaal rakha.
"Maa, abse main har raat aapke he paas sone wali hu. Haan papa ko bhi bol dena aap aur is bandar se keh do ki hume iski koyi parwah nahi. Ye chahe mahine ke liye jaaye ya fir saal ke liye. Pehle bhi toh 8 saal ke liye bhaag gaya tha aur tab isko chinta nahi hu.", Ritu baat ko jidhar le gayi thi wo sunn kar ek pal toh Arjun bhi kaanp gaya. Uske chehre par aate in bhaav ko baaki dono ne padh liya tha.
"Aaru, ye tujhe pareshaan kar rahi hai aur aisa isliye kyonki ab na ye padhaai karegi aur na koyi kaam. Ritu, maa ko uthne de aur chai peene de fir dawa bhi khaani hai inhone.", Komal chai aage karti hui apne bhai behan ko maa se hata kar wahi baith gayi. Dono bhai behan khamoshi se alag ho gaye aur inke papa bhi kamre me aa kar sath chai peete hue haal-chaal lene lage. Shankar ji Arjun ke liye kuch kapde aur samaan laaye the jo unhone mej par rakh diya tha. Ritu se he unhone Rekha ji ke hath ki taja patti karwaai thi aur Arjun is dauraan bas wo kaale dhaage ginta raha jo hatheli par taanke ke roop me sthit the. Ritu ye sab bade utsaah se kar rahi thi jabki Komal is drishya se najre bachati hui apne pita ke liye almaari se kapde nikalne lagi.
"Waha motorcycle se ja rahe ho toh helmet jarur pehan lena. Safar thoda lamba hai toh sahi jagah 10-15 minute rukna behtar hoga. Baaki motorcycle par bag ke sath safar karna thik nahi. Car le jao.", Shankar ji aise he baat shuru kar rahe the apne bete se.
"Ji bag pichli seat par bandh jayega araam se. Aur main bypaas wali road se jaunga jo jyada bhidbhaad wali nahi hai. Daadi keh rahi thi ki aapne bhi waha aana hai beech me?", Arjun sakuch raha tha is waqt lekin Shankar ji uske chehre ko dekhne ke baad chai ka ghoont bhar kar akhbar par najar daalte hue bole.
"2 hafte baad aana hai lekin thodi der ka he kaam hai mera. Aur jisko tum bypas keh rahe ho pehle wahi main-road thi ya samajh lo wahi ek rasta hota tha. Gaanv ab gaanv nahi raha Arjun, kasba hai. Log toh hamesha atche he dikhte hai lekin fir bhi sambhal kar rehna thoda aur der raat kahi nikalna bhi nahi. Baaki samay mile toh Madhuri se milne chale jana aur apne jija se meljol badhana atcha he hota hai. Udhar tumhare padd-dada ji ke naam se dharamshala hai aur uske sath he akhada bhi. Shaam ko atcha time gujrega aur jaruri nahi ke poora mahina he rehna hai. Jab dil kare aa jana.", Shankar ji jis tarah usko ye choti choti baatein samjha rahe the wo kahi na kahi Arjun ki mansha bhi jaan na chahte the.
"Ye waha bhi kuch na kuch jalwa dikhane se nahi hatne wala papa. Kaan khinch do nahi toh mujhe bolo main kar deti hu. Ek mahina ye udhar kya karega?", Ritu ne beech me taang adaai toh Arjun lachari se apni maa ki taraf dekhne laga jo bas khush thi inhe aapas me laga dekh.
"Ab iska dil hai toh karne do aur jaha tak main jaanta hu tum isko abhi mana kar do toh ye nahi jaane wala. Nautanki main bhi kiya karta tha lekin ab main tumhara baap hu beta. Tum khush ho ki ye kuch seekhna chahta hai aur aadat nahi hai dur rehne ki isliye parwah bhi kar rahi ho. Waise beta tum ek mahina karne kya waale ho udhar?", Arjun ko is sawaal ki ummeed thi lekin Ritu ye jaan kar sakpaka gayi ki uske pita ne jaise koyi chori pakad li ho.
"Mujhe dada ji ne waha ke baare me bahot kuch bataya hai papa. Jaise hamari haweli, jameen aur bagiche jaha aam-angoor lagte hai. Phir aaspas school, dispensary aur jaane kya kya unke papa ne bhi banwaya tha jaha main jana chahta hu aur apne pariwar ki history dekhne ki chahat hai bas. Wo raani ji bhi bula kar gayi thi toh ek mehal bhi dekhne ko milega. Bua ne bhi bahot kuch bataya tha toh karne ke liye toh shayad mahina bhi kam pade. Lekin ek wajah aur bhi hai udhar jaane ki.", Arjun ne baat ko beech me rokk kar gehri najar Ritu par daali.
"Aur wo wajah?", Shankar ji bhi jaise kuch kuch samajh rahe the.
"Didi ka exam hai na England wale college ke liye June ke aakhir me? Sanjiv bhaiya bhi tour pe jaane wale hai kal raat ko. Main idhar rahunga toh itna kuch karne ke liye mere pas hai nahi ki vyast reh saku par didi ka exam jarur prabhavit ho jaayega. Ab yaha na rukne ki is se badi wajah aur kya ho sakti hai.", Ritu ye dekh kar hairaan thi ki jis baat ka jikar karna tak usko dara raha tha wo Arjun ne he khol di thi. Wo bhi uske pita ke saamne jo ab ye yaad aate he Ritu ko dekhne lage.
"Mai soch rahi thi ki December wala exam de dungi. Admission toh agle saal he possible hoga na papa.?", Lekin Shankar ji se pehle jawaab Rekha ji ki taraf se aaya.
"Beta June me he agar pariksha di jaaye toh kam se kam December ke liye bhetar tayaari toh kar sakogi. Arjun thik keh raha hai ki tumhe ye pariksha deni chahiye aur poori tayaari ke sath. Aakhir ye tumhara apna fainsla hai ek kabil doctor bann ne ka. Tumhare papa ne toh kabhi pariksha ko nahi tala tha.", Rekha ki baat sunn kar Shankar ji ko bhi hairani hui lekin wo jaan gaye ki Krishna ji ne bataya hoga.
"Maa, India me bhi toh atche.."
"Didi, exam toh aap dene wali ho aur main December nahi June me he aapko clear karte dekhna chahta hu. Agle saal aap chali jaogi aur uske agle saal Alka didi. Bas apna focus waisa he rakhna jaisa college ek pehle saal me tha. Papa jarur ab ye challenge dekhna chahte hai.", Arjun ne jaise Ritu ko haan kehne ke liye fansa he diya tha.
"Tumhare Sangwan dada ji bhi bol rahe the ki Ritu clear kar sakti lekin mujhe doubt hai jis tarah tum exam se bhaag rahi ho. Migration toh main paiso se bhi karwa dunga beta lekin haq se jaogi toh jyada atcha lagega. Chalo main nahane chala aur Arjun tum bhi tayaari karo. Rekha, sirf chai nahi nashta bhi kar lo. Dawa tabhi milegi khaane ke liye aur Komal beta is baat ka dhyaan rakhna.", Shankar ji ne toh dusri raah bhi sujhai toh ek taane ke sath jis par Ritu kuch ruswa hoti lagi lekin Arjun ki aankhon me uske liye sirf sammaan tha aur naaj.
"Done. Exam dungi bhi aur clear bhi karungi. Lekin main rahungi maa ke kamre me.", Ritu ki baat sunn kar bahar jaate hue Shankar ji ne sehamti de di.
"Main bhi chahta hu ke tum apni maa ke pas he raho. Najar rahegi.", Ab ye kaunsi najar rakhwa rahe the ye toh unhe he pata tha. Arjun toh ja he raha tha ghar se jo unhe aksar pareshan karta tha kabhi damaad wala bhavishya dikha kar toh kabhi Ritu ko he unki bahu banate hue. Lekin ek haq toh mil chuka tha usko aur Shankar ji chahte the ki bache ab khudko saabit karte jaaye bas.

Dekhte he dekhte 60-70 update tak pehla mel-jol chal nikla aur ek agyaatvaas se agar main wapis lauta toh uski wajah bas aap sabhi log the. Main nahi jaanta ki main itna kaabil hu ya pyaar ka haqdaar lekin ye manch jarur ab mere dil ke bahot kareeb hai, aap sabhi ki wajah se.
