Update 197
Dohra Charitra
"Main kuch keh sakta hu bau ji?", Madhuri aur uske sasural walo ke sath sath Radhika ke bhi mata pita laut chuke the. Idhar se he Gorav aur Madhuri apne honeymoon par aur baaki log apne ghar. Aaj bagiche me Rameshwar ji ke sath Sanjiv tha, paani ka chhidkaav karte hue kuch gambhir. Uski daadi abhi abhi Roshni bua ke sath mandir gayi thi, apni aastha ki wajah se. Sanjiv bhi yaha isliye ruka tha ki nikalne se pehle wo apne dada ji se bhi kuch charcha kar sake. Rameshwar ji thodi nayi mitti tayaar kar rahe the jo unhone nehar kinare se mangwaayi thi bagiche me milane ke liye. Mitti ke naram dhele todte hue wo ruk gaye jab Sanjiv ne unse aagya chahi.
"Haan bilkul keh sakte ho bhai. Is desh me ye bhi ek adhikaar hai jo tumhe purn ajaadi deta hai apni baat rakhne ya kehne ka.", Ramshwar ji kaha sidha jawaab dete the lekin Sanjiv bhi toh unki chhaya me rehte hue ya bhali prakaar jaan chuka tha. Usne fir bhi chehre par khushi ke bhaav prakat na kiye.
"Aapko lagta hai ki munna jo kar raha hai wo sahi kar raha hai? Haan main us par sandeh nahi kar sakta lekin aap jyadatar pehlu kanoon ki najro se dekhte hai aur mujhe dikh raha hai toh bas apna chota bhai jo bahot saare kanoon aur niyam unki he kamjori ki wajah se badal raha hai.", Rameshwar ji sab sunte hue khurpi lagatar un naram londho par chalate rahe. Sanjiv ne ek taraju me swayam pandit ji aur unke niyam toh dusre me Arjun ko khada kar diya tha. Wo ye bhi jaan gaye the ki Sanjiv se baat bachi nahi hai jo shayad Arjun ka he kiya dhara hai lekin wo fir bhi apne bhai se dur ja raha hai jisme Arjun ka he aagrah hoga.
"Beta reitili mitti me jitna marji paani udel do wo sab sokh kar fir se pyaasi ban jaati hai. Matlab ki niyam jitne marji bana lo par kya kahi wo khatam ho sakte hai? Nahi na? Lekin us reitili mitti me agar garda mila diya jaaye toh kya hoga?", Sanjiv paani aage ki disha me dete hu har baat dhyaan se sunn raha tha.
"Santulit ho jaayegi ye nayi mitti. Na jyada paani sokhegi aur na kichad rahegi. Lekin meri baat ka matlab toh munna aur uski kaarastaniyon se hai na jo thodi bahot toh aapko bhi pata lagi hongi?"
"Hahaha.. yar tum dono bhi toh aise he ho. Khair jawaab jyada saral lehje me dene ki koshish karta hu. Tum ho kanooni aadmi aur wo hai fakeer mastmaula. Jab dono ke beech gehra taalmel baith jaaye toh meri kya bisaat jo main kuch bol paau.", Rameshwar ji ne toh yaha jawaab dene ki jagah jaise Sanjiv ko he lapet liya tha uske aur Arjun ke taalmel ki wajah se. Lekin Sanjiv bhi dhun ka pakka tha jisne is baat par pratikriya dene ki jagah fir se apna sawaal dohra diya.
"Wo kanoon todega toh aap kya karenge bau ji?", Ab toh Pandit ji ne khurpi ek taraf he rakh di aur paani se hath dhone ke baad kursi par baithte hue bagal me Sanjiv ko bhi baitha liya.
"Tum galat karte ho kuch jab duty par hote ho?", Unka ye prashan sachmuch kehne ko he chota tha par Sanjiv aakhir unka he khoon tha aur thik unka anusaran karne wala.
"Apne aap ko aaine me na dekhu bau ji lekin aatma-manthan me kya karunga jab daga karunga? Katai aisa nahi kar sakta jis se meri vardi se pehle aatma par daag lage."
"Main jaanta hu mere bache main atchi tarah se jaanta hu aur yahi wajah hai ki hum tumhare har sawaal par khudse he charcha karte hai. Sanjiv koyi bhi baat aise nahi karta, uski wajah hoti hai aur wo is dehleej ke bahar hai toh duty par hai. Haan Arjun sath ho toh duty avkaash par chali jaati hai aur avkaash pehle he ho toh tum par apne chote ka bhai ka asar ho jata hai. Lekin dusra pehlu jo hai mere sikke ka wo is chehre jitna spasht nahi hai, bas kehne ko number hai. Head tum ho toh tail wo lekin tum chehra ho aur wo... wo pata nahi kya kya hai jo hume bhi kayi baar samajh nahi aata. Khud he dekho ki uski paribhasha toh swayam hamare he paas nahi hai toh koyi aur kya dega? Lekin jaise mujhe tum par vishwas hai na Sanjiv, waise mujhe us par garv hai. Wo kahi jyada he bada registaan hai bhitar se jo tukdo tukdo me saari garda dhoond dhoond kar apne bhitar sama lega. Jaise wo tumhare gunn le chuka hai, mere, apni maa ke aur kudrat ke.", Arjun ka ullekh karte hue wo thoda sa rukte hue Sanjiv ke chehre ke bilkul kareeb aaye aur dhimi awaaj me kaha.
"Blackhole hai wo lekin sirf toote grah aur taare apne andar samahit karne wala. Bas is ek niyam ko he maanta hai tumhara munna aur mere bhi hath khade beta hai kuch maamlo me. Wo jitna khaa chuka hai hume uski khabar he nahi hai aur na tumhe hai, yakin hai hume kyonki wo jis taal pe sabko nacha raha hai uske kuch ansh hamare he aks se jude hai lekin us gyaan ko maine uplabdh nahi karwaya aur or koyi jaanta nahi. Ab ulta ye humko he waha bulane me kaamyab ho gaya jaha jana nahi chahte the."
"Haan aap sahi kehte hai bau ji. Jab meri baah pe soya hota hai toh lagta hai wo aajtak 13-14 saal pehle wala mera nathkhat chota bhai hai par wo apni anjaan duty par hota hai toh uski tayaari pehle he rehti hai. Sabhi ghatnaye, unse jude log aur shayad parinaam bhi. Wo boarding me he tha na bau ji?", Arjun ke vishaya me ye sab sunn kar khud Rameshwar ji ab khamosh rehne ka mann bana rahe the lekin Sanjiv ko pareshan mann ghar se vida karna us dada ko sahi na laga.
"Wo choti choti baato ko ehamiyat deta hai jaise tum dete ho. Lekin wo unke bhi ateet me ghus jata hai jabtak gehraai na maap le, matlab usko farak nahi padta ki ganit ka formula samajhte hue wo bhauti vigyaan me ja raha hai aur udhar se koyi yunani chinh usko kahi aur le jaaye. Wo khojta rahega jab tak ki wo wapis ganit par na laut aaye. Main matlab jaise tum ho waisa he tha aur tumhare Raghuvir dada thode bahot aise jaise Arjun, bahot thode the matlab. Lekin tumhari daadi hai bahot gehre mann wali aur bahar se sakth. Aise he pita ji the hamare, jitna unhe samajhne ki koshish karo utne samajh se bahar aur fir hume ijajat bhi nahi thi jyada taak-jhaak ki. Tumhare pita, chacha aur mama log ya jitne bhi kareebi hai unka kuch alag toh kirdaar hai na, visheshta?", Sanjiv ne paani band karte hue bas sar haa me hilaya.
"Ye insabke gunn le raha hai ya kayion ke toh le bhi chuka hai jaise mere, tumhare, tumhari daadi ke aur sabse eham hai Raghuvir Singh ke khaas gunn jo uske baad thode bahot toh Shankar me bhi the lekin jyada the Ajju me par Ajju tumhari daadi se seekh gaya tha dimaag ko niyantran me rakhna. Ab Arjun wo sabhi niyam jaan ne ke baad unki he kamjori ko hamare saamne la raha hai aur hum siwaye uska sath dene ke kar bhi kya sakte hai.? Lekin jis tarah tum apna karm kar rahe ho, mujhe bhi karte rehna hoga. Tark-sawaal aur gehan avlokan karne se pehle uske kisi bhi kadam par sandeh nahi jataya ja sakta. Toh tumhare laadle ne tumhe nahi bulawa bheja?", Apni majburi khul kar kabool karne ke baad unhone Sanjiv ke kandhe par hath rakhte hu jab akhade ki chunti ke sandarbh me poocha toh wo sar jhukaye he muskura diya.
"Aap sab jaante he hai bau ji. Wo batane ke bawjood hath bhi bandh deta hai aur usne iska jawaab ye keh kar diya ki bhaiya aap jab wapis lautne wale ho toh ek baar phone karna 20 din baad he milenge. Aur mujhe waisa he karna hoga.", Sanjiv uth khada hua saamne Narinder chacha ko car nikale dekh. Radhika sabse milne ke baad dada ji ka aashirwad lene aayi thi jaane se pehle aur Sanjiv uski bagal se nikal kar baaki sadasyo se milne laga. Ab unhe bhi jana tha apne naye rishtey ko majboot banane aur duniya eksath dekhne.
"Bitiya, khaali hath matt lautna. Zindagi aksar bhaagdaud me he nikal jaati hai aur hum phir ek samay par khaas yaadon ki jarurat rehti hai. Apne liye waisi he khoobsurat yaadein jutane ki ye sahi disha hai. Bhagwan Narayan tumhe khush rakhe aur har manokaamna purn ho.", Wo paanv chhone nahi dete the isliye paas baitha kar bas sar pe hath rakhte hue aashirwad diya. Radhika dekh rahi thi ki itne asadharan pratishta wale uske sasur kaise nange paanv he mitti sane paanv ke sath is bagiche me baithe khush the. Uske chehre par bhi pratiuttar me bholi muskaan aa gayi.
"Ji bauji aap bhi apna dhyaan dijiyega aur ye sab kaam kam he kare toh sehat thik rahegi aapki."
"Hahaha.. tum Guddu ki tarah baat kar rahi ho lekin itna dhyaan rakho ki mitti se lagaav barkaraar na rahe toh aksar bimari gher leti hai. Tumhari daadi tumhe jata nahi dekh sakti thi isliye tumhari kushalta ki kaamna maangne apne prabhu ke darbar chali gayi. Pahuchte he unse baat karna aur ab tumhe jana chahiye.", Rameshwar ji ne Radhika ko thik chote bache ki tarah samjhaya toh wo bhi jhempti hui hath jodd kar wapis laut aayi. Car me baithne se pehle Ritu ne jarur unke kaan me kuch kaha jis par wo hairani aur muskurahat ke sath pehle usko dekhti rahi fir kandhe par chapat lagati hui hansti hui pichli seat par baith gayi. Kayi hath in dono ko vida kar rahe the naye safar par jaate hue. Aur pandit ji sabko dekhne ke baad unki tulna apne bagiche se karne lage. Dono he hare-bhare aur vividhta se bharpoor the. Bas aaj us papite ke vriksh ne pehla phal dikhaya tha aur kuch phool bata rahe the ki ye toh bas shuruaat hai.
'Teri maya tu he jaane Arjun puttar. Bina beej ka phal uga diya isne ab pata lagao bhi toh kaha se lagao ki iski nasal me badlaav kaha se aaya?', Apne antarmann me bhi Rameshwar ji ka sochna paheliyon se he bhara tha aur fir khud he hanste hue apne hath paanv dhone lage jab Alka wo paani ki pipe chaalu karke unke saamne aa khadi hui.
"Aaj toh aap maal-poode banane wale tha dada ji? Dekh lo ab toh sab chale bhi gaye aur aapne time yaha kyaari me laga diya.", Alka ke shikayati lehje aur narajgi par Rameshwar ji ne bhi maafi maangi.
"Lakshmi beta tu kuch kahe aur main waisa na karu ye kabhi hua hai? Pehle rasoi khaali karwa aur mujhe bata. Main kapde badal kar aata hu fer sath me kheer bhi rakhte hai. Mewe pehle nikaal le teri daadi ki baari se, wo aa gayi toh pher ulahne dene se na hategi bp aur bimari ke.", Rameshwar ji is se pehle shayad tabhi rasoighar me gaye honge jab Alka ne farmaaish ki hogi, 1 ya dedh saal pehle. Lekin jo bhi banate the fir unki takkar ka poore ghar me koyi na tha us pakwaan me. Aaj unka mann bhi halka tha aur wo kuch hadd tak khush bhi the. Alka bhi chehakti hui nikal bhaagi aur apne bacho ko khush dekh wo bhi muskura diye.
'Kasuhalya devi aise he banaye rakhna is laghu sansaar ko. Sab tumhari he tapasya aur mehnat hai.'

"Dekho bhai apne Arjun ne kabaddi wale khiladiyon ke sath toh daav-pench ke liye mana kar diya jo ki sahi bhi hai. Teesre din inka bhi khel hai aur aise me bematlab kisi ke chot aa jaaye toh khamiyaja poori team ko uthana padega. Ab Shahid ke toh hath khade ho chuke hai lekin apne chote pradhan ji aadha kanaal khudai karke bhi maidaan se hatne ka naam nahi le rahe. Lekin ab kushti ki bajaye match hone ja raha hai kabaddi ka jisme ek taraf hoga Arjun toh dusri taraf gaanv ko 4 baar pratyogita jiwane wale hamare soorma. Wajah bhi iske peeche jaisa Sarpanch sahab aur Arjun se charcha karne par mujhe pata chala. Team pichle 3 baras se dusre he sthaan par rahi hai kyonki parle unche pind wale kaha humse behtar hai wo kami dur karni hogi.", Jugraaj ji sabhi khiladiyon aur shamil logo ko sambodhit karte hue unchi awaaj me bata rahe the aur kabaddi ke naram maidaan ke ird-gird mercury light ki doodhiya roshni me najara joshila ho chala tha. Safed chalk mitti se ghera bana diya gaya tha aur ek taraf akela Arjun khada tha toh dusri taraf Shahid, Dilbag, Kamlesh, Bhola ke sath sath unke purane sathi jo aaj bhi lambe tagde the aur kheto me mehnat ke sath kahi jyada majboot bhi.
"Master ji, aapne toh kaha tha ke Arjun bhai daav lagayenge aur wo bhi ek sath 2-2 bando pe.", Ye yuvak vartmaan kabaddi team ka raider tha, Billa. Kad-kathi me pehalwan aur Arjun jitna he lamba. Uski baat par kayion ne samarthan kiya. Is mahol ko ek taraf toh Damini apni saheli Indu ke sath dekh rahi thi aur dusri taraf chote se vriksh par hath tikaye sehmi hui Dipa bhabhi. Mitti me sana Arjun bilkul mastaye hue saand sa khada tha us maidaan me. Aur thik uske saamne dusri taraf 7 pehalwan sarikhe dugni umar ke maharathi.
"Sunn toh lo bhai sab poori baat. Maksad hai apni aaj ki team ko raid aur gherabandi sikhane ka lekin isme ek badlaav ye hai ki Arjun ko kam se kam 2 logo ko hath lagana hoga raid maarte waqt aur idhar se jo raid maarne jaayega uspe agar Arjun ne daav na lagaya toh ek ank saamne wali team ko. Haar aur jeet pe inaam bhi hai jo apne sarpanch sahab ne ghoshit kiya.", Jugraaj ji ne hanste hue apni baat ko wahi beech me choda toh logo ki utsukta badh gayi. Wahi Dipa bhabhi ne dekh liya tha ki Damini aur Indu ek taraf dabe paanv ja rahi thi. Dimag do tarfa tha ab unka. Pehle wo Arjun ki chinta se yaha aayi thi aur ab in dono ko aise jaata dekh koyi aur bura khayaal mann me uthne laga.
"Master ji ab inaam bhi bata do, kyun tarsa rahe ho hum bacho ko?", Ye Bhoot tha lekin jaane kyun usko ye naam diya gaya. 6 feet uncha, thoda pakke rang ka lekin jism se balisht. College tak padhaai ke baad filhal natije ke intjaar aur kabaddi ke siwa koyi kaam nahi tha.
"Inaam ye hai kaka ji ki jo bhi Arjun se ek point hansil karega, badle me apne sarpanch ji tumhari team ko ek khuraak denge. 5 point ka game toh matlab Dilbag ki team agar 5 ank arjit karti hai toh agle 3 din ki khuraak ka kharcha apne maan-niya sarpanch ji uthayenge. Doodh, anda, meat, maalish sabkuch.", Ab toh Kewal Singh ke naam par jordaar taaliyan goonji. Wo bhi hath utha kar sabko shaant karte hue khushi se haan bharne lage.
"Ye toh ek tarfa inaam hua ji. Arjun bhai jeetega toh kya hume khuraak Sarpanch sahab ko deni padegi?", Bhole Nihaal ka bhola sa sawaal tha aur sabhi hans diye. Ek taraf kuch ladkiyan bhi hath me badminton liye khusar phusar kar rahi thi. Khel-ghar me unka bhi dabdaba tha barabari ki wajah se beshak ladkiyan jyadatar badminton tak he simit thi ya fir wo thoda bahot handball khelne aati thi. Is beech Dipa bhabhi ki najro ne kuch ajeeb hote dekha. Diwar ke dusri aur koyi khada tha jiske sath sar ko dhake Damini baat kar rahi thi aur wo shaksh us taraf andhere ki wajah se saaf nahi dikh raha tha. Lekin tha wo koyi aisa jiski chhavi Dipa andhere me bhi pehchan sakti thi. Indu kuch dur khadi jaise baaki sab par dhyaan rakh rahi thi. Damini ne kuch diya tha us shaksh ko aur badle me usne bhi jo Damini ne apne seene me chhupa liya. Wo dono ab idhar aane ki bajaaye wahi se chalti hui khel-ghar se bahar nikal chali. Dipa ke dil aur mann ko vichlit karke.
"Hahaha.. Oye Neeleya, Arjun ki taraf se aisa he inaam daanv pe lagaya hai apne lala ji aur daar ji ne, jis wajah se swayam Lala ji yaha padhare hai. Toh ab jaisa nirdharit kiya gaya hai, toss ke baad khel shuru.", Jugraaj ji ne Arjun aur Shahid ko aage bulate hue sikka uchala toh jeet Shahid bhai ki hui. Dono hath milane ke baad alag ho kar apni apni jagah aa gaye, raid daalne ka jimma Arjun ko diya gaya tha.
'Daare tu kinare te, Bholeya tu isde thik peeche rahi. Dilu oh tere hath na laga sake, dhyan rakhi. Pehla mauka dena appa Arjun nu.', Shahid bhai the bhi kisi pehalwan jaise jo itne barso se akhade se niyamit jude the. Dilbaag furtila tha kabhi jo ab bas majboot sharir wala reh gaya tha. Usko thoda peeche rakhte hue Shahid ne baaki sabhi ko unka kaam samjha diya. Arjun mitti ke hath lagata 'kabaddi'kabaddi' bolte hue jaise he unke paale me dakhil hua wo 'C' akaar ka ghera thoda peeche hua. Sabhi dekh rahe the ki Arjun bahot sadhe hue kadmo se bas rekha ki kinare kinare idhar udhar ho raha hai. Jaise wo inke kadmo aur sharirik bhasha ka gyaan le raha ho. Kamlesh purana khiladi tha jisne ghera todne se pehle Dilbag ke kaan me kuch kaha aur apne sath ek aur khiladi ko liye baayi taraf se Arjun ko gherne ki kavayad karne laga. Aur wo apna prayas karta us se pehle he Arjun unki taraf kadamo ka dikhawa karke apne peeche khade Bholu aur Daare ke beech furti se nikalta wapis apne paale aa khada hua. Koyi samjha bhi nahi lekin Bholu aur Dara sar pe hath rakhte hue bahar chal diye.
"Lo vi mitro, Arjun ne raid poori kitti. Plan bane reh gaye aur banda baaj nikliya jehda samajh aun toh pehla he kamm kar gaya dona de thapki maarda. Arjun da ek point.", Ab charcha ka vishaya tha Arjun ki ummeed se he jyada furti aur uska jhapatna, jo aankh jhapkne se pehle ho gaya tha. Taaliyan ruki toh is baar Shahid ke sath Dilbag ne Arjun ke paale me kadam rakha, dono viprit disha se badhe the. Dipa bhabhi jaise anjaane darr ki wajah se thoda kareeb aa khadi hui aur in dono ko poori mustaidi se dekh raha Arjun Shahid bhai ki taraf jhapat kar unhe patak he raha tha ki Dilbaag ne chalaang lagate hue uske paanv jameen se ukhaad diye. Dipa ki saans he ruk chali thi ye soch kar he ki is prahaar se yakinan Arjun ko chot pahuchi hai. Udhar Arjun toh Shahid bhai ke upar se he palti kha kar mooh se mitti saaf karta khada ho gaya par Dilbaag wapis bhag chuka tha.
"Dilbag ne point kamaya teh Arjun ne daanv poora kitta. Mamla barabar reha es karke Shahid khel vich rahega. Ek point Shahid di team ne kyonki Arjun ne dono bande nahi giraye.", Jaisa ki purv-nirdharit hua tha ki Arjun ko dono raider ko patakhni dene par he ank milega aur waisa na hone par jo usko chu kar nikal jayega, ank us raider ko prapt hoga. Hua bhi aisa he jab Dilbag bach nikla lekin Shahid ko patakne ki wajah se 2 me se ek he ank ban paya. Khel yahi se majedar ho chala tha lekin bheed bhi badhne lagi thi, baat aaspas chupal tak jaane se. Dipa chalti hui kab agle paale ke kinare pahuch gayi usko bhi dhyaan na raha. Jyadatar log baithe the aur kuch khade toh Dipa bhabhi fir bhi kuch duri par halke andhere me thi. Arjun ne honth par aaya halka sa lahu jeeb se he chaat kar saaf karne ke baad raid shuru ki.
"Is baar dhava bolna 'P' bana ke lekin Kamlesh tum aur Dilu dandi pe rahoge bhai.", Shahid ke kahe anusaar 7 ke 7 khiladi panje majbooti si tikaye is tarah ghoomne lage jaise Arjun kendra bindu ho aur wo koyi naag jo usko kasne ke khwahishmand ho. Is baar uttejana me Bholu bahar se he cheekha.
"Oh Minder, gitteya te jump maar isde. Mege, lamak ja pith teh sheti.", Wo keh raha tha ki ek vyakti jaldi uske ghutno par chalaang lagaye aur dusra peeth par sawar ho jaaye. Arjun ne ghera kasne diya apne ird-gird aur jaise he wo dono vyakti uski taraf koode, thik saamne teesra aur Shahid Arjun ko dabochne koode. Aur yahi Arjun Minder se bachta hua Mege ko apne kandhe par uthaye apne paale ki taraf kood gaya. Ye dono he usne bahar kar diye the par 80-90 kilo ke Mege ko usne jitne araam se uthaya aur fir apne paale me araam se giraya tha sabhi taali aur seetiyan maarte reh gaye. Arjun sirf aur sirf khel raha tha jabki dusri taraf wo log haanfte hue ab isko gambhirta se lene lage, khaaskar Kamlesh aur Dilbag.
"Oye balle oh pandta. Sirra he lagata putt tu tah. Ae school de jawaak nai hai jinhanu tu ehda chuk ke pajh janda. Hahaha.. mann gaye putra.", Lala ji ne Jugraaj ji dwara 1 ank Arjun ko pradaan karne ke baad is adhbut drishya se khush ho kar paas khadi un 5-6 ladkiyon ko 50-50 rupaye diye, khel me lagan dikhane ke evaj me. Saamne Shahid ki team jaise do faad ho gayi thi is raid ke baad. Jaha Shahid 4 khiladion ko raid daalne ki yojna bata raha tha, wahi Dilbag ko Kamlesh budbudate hue kuch alag he kaam bata raha tha, bina uski taraf dekhe jaise wo iska pata kisi ko lagne na dena chahta ho. Dilbaag ne bolne se pehle har taraf aaspas baithe logo ko dekha aur utni he dhimi awaaj me usne jawaab diya. Unki team se 2 tagde khiladi Arjun ko gherne nikal chale the jabki Arjun unhe dekhne ke sath sath ye bhi dhyaan de raha tha ki saamne ek team nahi balki 2 khel rahi hai. Choti team kabaddi ke sath jaise aur kuch bhi karne ka irada rakhti hai. Dono khiladi satarkta se Arjun ki aur dhire dhire badh rahe the. Arjun kuch kadam peeche hota hua kabhi ek taraf ho jata toh kabhi dusre wale ko peeche hatne par majboor karta. Kamlesh ne sabhi ka dhyaan Arjun pe lage dekh Dilbaag ki jaangh par ungli chalte hue khaas ishara diya aur wo uske aage ho gaya. Dilbag ghere ki antim line par tha jidhar bas 2 he log the kyonki jyadatar toh paale ke aamne saamne lambvat baith kar ye khel dekh rahe the. Andhere me Dilbag ke hath me kuch pakdaya gaya aur fir wo vyakti waha se hat kar bheed me ja mila. Dipa bhabhi ne bhi ye dekh liya tha jiski aashanka ab sahi saabit hoti jaa rahi thi. Udhar Arjun un dono ko chhaka raha tha darate hue aur jaise he ek ki saans tootne lagi Arjun ne hath ka dikhawa usko pakadne ka karte hue paanv viprit disha me ghuma kar dusre wale ka rasta band kar diya. Palak jhapakte he wo Arjun ke kandhe se ghoom kar poli mitti me peeth ke bal gira tha aur jitne dusra Arjun ko choone ki koshish karta, uske badhe hue hath ko kandhe par laate hue Arjun ne kisi bori ki tarah ghuma kar badi aahista se uski peeth bhi pehle wale ki bagal me sata di.
"Oh Arjun baai.. ek number speed hai baai.. mann gaye tere dimaag nu. Jama billi wang jhapteya.", Nihaal khushi se taali peet raha tha aur Arjun un dono ko hath de kar uthane ke baad apni jagah aa kar wapis khada ho gaya. Un dono khiladiyon ke mann se ab gambhir pratiyogita wali baat nikal kar Arjun ke liye samman badh chuka tha jo khushi khushi maidaan se bahar kinare pe ja khade hue. Bholu aur Dara fir se team me aa chuke the unke bahar hone ki wajah se. Yahi niyam tha ki saamne 7 barkarar rahenge.
"Mitra pyaaron, score hai Arjun 3 Shahid 1. Matlab bas ek raid aur ek bachaav poora karna hai Arjun ne jabki itna he agar dusri team karti hai toh khel barabar. Aur dugna karne pe wo vijeta. Dekhna hoga tajurba jeetega ya josh.", Jugraaj ji ne ank sunaye toh Nihaal aur uske dost taliyan peetne lage the par kuch aur bhi the jo is se alag raaye rakhte the aur wo inse alag apne he jhund me the. Unki taraf kisi ne khaas tavajjo bhi na di. Dipa bhabhi gor se dekh rahi thi ki uska pati kya karne wala hai gaagh Kamlesh ke sath mil kar. Arjun bhi dekh raha tha ki Kamlesh Shahid ki jagah khud baki khiladiyon ko apne hisaab se gherabandi karne ka keh raha tha. Matlab saaf tha ki is raid me Arjun ke sath wo niyam se nahi khelne wala tha.
'Chilla bhi nahi sakti aur agar bata dene par kuch na mila toh badnaami ke naam par jaleel alag karenge. Waheguru Arjun ko bacha lo bas.', Dipa bhabhi ki sthithi bhi uchit thi. Saamne uska he pati niyam se virudh kaam karne wala tha jiska parinaam pakde jaane par bhi ghatak aur Arjun ke jakhmi hone par bhi. Wo chaah kar bhi cheekh nahi sakti thi ki Arjun par khatra hai. Is andhere me Dilbaag apni mutthi me chhipaya hathiyaar kahi bhi fenk kar bach sakta tha aur ghar jaane ke baad wo jo salook Dipa ke sath karta, us se yakeenan jism ke jakhm badhne he wale the. Arjun ghutno ke bal baith kar sar jhukata hua jaise fefdo me praanvayu badha raha tha ya kuch aur. Usko is andaaj me dekh khud Lala ji aur Jugraaj ji bhi apna dhyaan us par lagaye the. Wo jab khada hua toh chehre par alag he muskaan thi aur aankhon me manzil ko paane ki chahat.
"Sukhi, Bholu tum dono darna nahi aur line me idhar peeche hatne ke baad jitna ho sake is ladke ko andar lete aana. Jeete tu Shahid ke sath jodi me saamne reh kar kadam piche karte jana jis se fanda bann sake. Kala aur main bhi idhar aisa he karenge. Koyi galti nahi honi chahiye is baar. Uski saans na tooti toh is baar he wo jeet jana. Dilu, dhyaan naal.", Dilbaag ko Kamlesh ne alag sandesh diya tha. Lekin saamne se aata hua insaan jaise in chote mote ghero ki baare me soch he nahi raha tha. Safed patti paar karne se pehle usne jis tarah Dipa bhabhi ki aankhon me dekha tha wo kuch samajh na saki. Uski muskurahat dekh toh aisa lag raha tha jaise koyi Aashiq khudkhushi karne se pehle aakhir baar chehra dikha raha ho apne ishq ko.
"Fans gaya tah zinda nahi bachna main Kamli. Vekh teri gherabandi tagdi hai, appa jitt jana ehda vi.", Dilbaag mann he mann darr raha tha aur uski ye aakhiri koshish thi Kamlesh ko manane ki. Yahi dono the sabse aakhir me daayi taraf ke kone par.
"Shhh.. Baat haar jit ki nahi hai Dilu, poore pind ki hai. Ye banda akhade nahi jaane dena dargah wale. Bas sab jaise he isko daboche, keel patt me ya chuttad pe ghusa diyo."
"Sooye ka tukda iska akhade se na rok sakega.", Dilbaag ki mutthi band thi jaise usme he wo sookshm hathiyar tha.
"Sharir me taap chadhega iske bas chubha diyo. Wo aa chuka hai.", Kamlesh ne ye na bataya tha ke wo bas sua nahi hai balki jehar bujha sua hai jo kuch bhi kar sakta tha Arjun ke sath. Bahot he dhimi raftar me kabaddi kabaddi bolta hua Arjun bas Shahid ko he dekh raha tha jaise wo kehna chah raha ho ki saamne matt aana. 4 kadam aage badhate he jaisa Kamlesh ne kaha tha thik waisa he hua aur parinaam bilkul viprit. 2 log peeche se aur 2 saamne se koode the par Shahid ek taraf ho gaya Arjun ko khule sand ki tarah kandha ek taraf wale 2 logo par maarte dekh. Mitti ko pichle dono paanv ne aise udaya tha ki peeche wale dono apne chehre ko dhakne par majboor ho gaye. Kamlesh jhapata lekin is baar khel se virudh Arjun ne uski gardan pakad kar jameen par aise de mara tha ki aasman me jo taare abhi aaye na the wo Kamlesh dekhne laga tha. Dilbag ke hath se wo sue ka tukda ek taraf gir gaya jisko aage badhte Jugraaj ji ne bhi dekha, jo Arjun ko rokne aa rahe the. Lekin deri ho he gayi.
"Namard ho tummmm", Ye dahaad aisi thi ki har insaan kaanp utha aur jab tak wo log samajhne laayak hote Dilbaag Arjun ke paanv pe gir chuka tha.
"Maaf kar do pradhaan ji .. maaf kar do.. Ye Kamli ne kaha tha ke aapko akhaade me jaane se rokne ke liye ye karna jaruri hai. Mujhe nahi pata tha ke is ek sue ki maar se aap kaise jakhmi ho sakte the.. Mujhe maaf kar do..", Haal e bayaan sunte hue bhi Arjun ne pehle toh Kamlesh ki taang pakad kar usko apne paale ki taraf uchaal fenka fir paanv utha kar jaise he Dilbaag ke jhuke hue sar pe rakhne laga toh andhere me chamakte un 2 aansuon ne uska ye vaar rok diya. Arjun palat kar Sarpanch ki taraf chal diya tha.
"Ho gaya na pramanit Sarpanch sahab ki aapka shak sahi tha. Ab kya karna hai inke sath? Dilbag ko saja mere dada ji sunayenge aur itne ye vyakti apne khet se bahar nahi niklega. Ullanghan hone par khet-khalihaan wapis. Dusre ko aap apne tarike se dekho jo aapke shak par khara utar gaya, durbhagya se.", Arjun ne is baar sarpanch Kewal Singh ke charan sparsh kiye the aur sabhi ko sadme me chhod wo Nihal ka hath pakad kar Shahid bhaiya ke sath yaha se chal diya. Lala ji ne bhi ghere me bache dono ke siwa sabhi ko waha se abhi ke abhi jaane ka aadesh diya toh Dipa bhabhi na chahte hue bhi bheed ke sath yaha se chali gayi. Arjun ghar ki taraf na ja kar khel-ghar ki bagal wali sunsaan gali ki aur ja raha tha. Shahid bhai ne he usko kuch der sath rehne ke liye manaya tha.
"Lala ji, Dilbaag ka toh hisaab bana gaye chote pandit par hamare bhai ko shayad hum sahi saja nahi de paayenge. Jugraaj bhai, Kamlesh ke hath baandh do peeth peeche. Hosh me aayega toh jawaab lenge is se.", Kewal Singh Lala ji ki kursi ke paas he jameen par baith gaya. Aankhon me aansu the aur dil me kuch halkapan. Dilbag ne dono ki taraf ghutno par gire hue hath jode toh pehli baar master Jugraaj ne niyam kaayde bhulate hue uske gaal par jhannate dar thappad jadd diya.
"Bada maan tha ve Dilleya tere teh sahnu. Tu tah akhaade da he maan na rakheya. Kuj kami reh gayi se saade pyaar satkaar vich jo tu pind de maan nu he mitaan lageya ci?"
"Daar ji, main sach kehna hai chahe gurughar sau uthwa lo. Menu Kamli ne keha c ki eh kil Arjun de patt ya peeche maar ke osnu mele vich shamil hon toh rokna. Kehnda ki eh pind de mukhiya di jaan da sawaal hai. Tussi jaande ho ki es Dilbaag ne kadi koyi galat kamm nai kitta? Main Kamli de iraade nahi c jaanda?", Wo safaai de raha tha aur Lala ji feeki hansi dete hue usko dekh rahe the. Jugraaj ne Kamlesh ke bhi hath baandh diye the peeth ki taraf aur jald he waha Succha Singh ji ke sath sath, Rajnish ji urf Manager sahab ghatnasthal par pahuche 2 yuvako ko liye. Unhe poore maamle se khud sarpanch ne avgat karwaya. Chehre par unke bhi 12 baj gaye the sab sunn kar.
"Kewal Singh, tumhe Kamlesh ki jaankari thi?", Ye Succha Singh ji ne poocha tha jo ab chintit bhi the aur dukhi bhi.
"Ji baba ji lekin saboot nahi tha mere pas. Mahine pehle se main dekh raha tha ki ye parle pind ke kuch badmasho ke sath jyada he mel-jol badha raha hai. Dilbag nahi jaanta tha un logo ki mansha lekin sab log ayyashi iske he khet par karte the. Chahe Dilbag waha ho ya nahi. Adde wali rangdaari me bhi iska jikar hua tha lekin paiso ke dum par isne he baat dabva di. Kal Nawaab ki kuch baatchit hui thi Arjun se shaam ko aur uske baad wo ghar pe apne is chache se he baat kar raha tha ki kaise uske dost Arjun ko thikane lagana chahte hai. Pehle he maine vadde daar ji ko bataya tha ki iska gaanv nikala karwa do toh sahi hoga lekin aapke saamne he hai ke meri ijjat uchaal di isne wo bhi Pandit ji ke bache par humle ki saajish sare aam karte hue. Main padvi chhod dunga ji lekin kal ki panchayat me iska fainsla mujhe he karne de toh behtar hoga.", Itna khulasa karne ke baad Kewal Singh ek aur baith gaya. Kamlesh ke mooh se khoon beh raha tha aur wo bhi ab dard ko peene ki koshish karta hua uthne laga tha par hath bandhe dekh hairaani se saamne baithe logo ko ghoorne laga.
"Hmmm. Arjun ne fainsla tumhe he karne ko kaha hai toh aisa he hoga. Dilbaag ki saja kya hogi ye Pandit Rameshwar ji nirdharit karenge ya hum abhi unse baat karne ke baad subah panchayat me he unka farmaan bata denge. Filhal Dilbaag tumhe jo aadesh mila hai, wahi karna hai. Yaad rahe ki gaanv nikala nahi khet me najarband ki saja mili hai tumhe. 2 waqt ka khana tumhe wahi milega aur agar tum saja-khilafi karte ho toh hatya ke pryaas me saja bhogne se pehle sampatti kurk hogi aur gaanv bedakhli alag. Waise bhagyashali ho tum jo us bhali aatma ne tumhe jaane kaise baksh diya. Humla dekh kar toh lag raha tha ke ghere se koyi bhi apne paanv par khada hone laayak nahi bachega. Wo yaha logo ke manoranjan ke liye khel raha tha tum sabko aukaat dikha kar ki uske liye tum mehaj manoranjan ka jariya ho. Fir bhi baaj nahi aaye murkhta dikhane se.", Lala ji ne bhali bhaanti wo chaal aur poora drishya dekha tha jisme Arjun kahi se bhi Arjun na tha.
"Lala ji, es kill teh zehar bujhaya hoya ji.", Jugraaj kaanch ke gilaas me duba kar wo sue ka tukda liye aaya toh paani ka rang badal chuka tha. Dilbaag toh ye dekhte he khud ke gaal par thappad ki baarish karne laga jisko un 2 yuvako ne roka Suchha Singh ji ke aadesh par.
"Yahi case ab Kamlesh par banega Kewal Singh, tumhare panchayti farmaan ke baad. Pandit ji shayad khud pooch-tach karna chahenge ab Kamlesh Singh se. Ye saboot aur Kamlesh ko sath le chalo Dhiraj-Manjeet. Panchayat me pesh hone ke baad bhi ye hamari nigraani me rahega. Kewal, panchayat band kamre me lagegi aur uski munaadi matt karwana. Milte hai subah 7 baje dharamshala me. Zehar wali baat failne na paaye aur Nawaab se keh dena ki ya toh ghar rahe ya fir usko nanihaal bhijwa do kuch hafte. Tumne gaanv ko hamesha pehle rakha hai pariwar se toh itna toh tumhare liye hum bhi kar sakte hai. Dilbaag, tumhari saja shuru ho chuki hai. Nikal jao aur jab bulawa aaye toh hajir ho jana. Chaliye baba ji. Lala ji aapko Juggi chhod dega.", Rajnish ji ke aadmi Kamlesh ko jeep ke pichle hisse me fenk chuke the aur Succha Singh ji ko agli seat par baitha kar Rajnish ji waha se nikal gaye.
"Tumhe bura lag raha hoga na Kewal bhai?", Dilbaag toh andhere me jaise taise nikal chala tha par Jugraaj aur Lala ji sarpanch ke sath wahi par baithe the.
"Atcha he lag raha hai filhaal toh Juggi baai. Mera bas nahi chalta nahi toh parle pind ke saare nashedi dariyan me hath baandh kar fenk du. Dekh lo sangat ka asar. Main fauj sewa me raha aur jakhmi lauta par hara nahi. Bhagwaan, manjhla hai lekin mujhse jyada samajhdar aur is pind ka maan lekin ye sapola khud toh barbaad hua so hua, apne bhatije tak ko nahi baksha isne. Lala ji, chaupaal me ghoshna kar dena ki sabhi khiladiyon ki khuraak mere jimme hai. Is ghatna ke baare me waise toh log jyada baat nahi karenge kyunki wo toh darr he gaye the us awaaj aur tufaan se lekin ye aapne sahi kiya ki panchayat band kamre me rakhwai. Aagya dijiye, thoda apne nawaab ki bhi khair khabar leta hu.", Sarpanch ne Jugraaj se hath milaya aur Lala ji ke charan sparsh karne ke baad seedha apne ghar ki taraf chal diye, tej kadmo se.
"Kya lagta hai Juggi beta, us aandhi ko dekh kar?", Lala ji Jugraaj ke scooter ki taraf badhte hue ab thoda muskura rahe the jaise unhe is haadse ki ab chinta na ho. Waise bhi saja ka farmaan toh diya he ja chuka tha aur wo bhi bina mahol ko garam kiye.
"Aap behtar bata sakte hai chacha. Maine toh bas aaj 2 alag alag Arjun dekhe. Ek jo pehle hansi majaak me sabke sath khel khel raha tha aur dusra jaise koyi aur he tha. Apni taaqat ka ek chota sa namuna deta hua jungle ka raja. Bholu aur Sukhi ki toh hansli gir gayi hai kandha utarne ke sath. Jabki haalat baaki dono ki bhi thik nahi thi. Kamlesh ko dekha na kaise khoon ugal raha tha aur itni taaqat kisi me kaise ho sakti hai chacha? Wo sachmuch he jaise kutte aur sher wala muqabla tha. Sher ne mooh ki jagah panje se uchaal diya is dagabaaj ko. Pehle aisa kuch dekha hai aapne?", Jugraaj ne scooter me chabi lagane ke baad unki taraf dekha.
"Tulna toh nahi kar sakta par bade Pandit ji rehte toh hamesha he shaant aur hanste bolte the par jab unke gusse ko dekha toh tumhare jaisa he haal mera tha. Lekin unhone saja us vyakti ko kuchal kar di thi jabki Arjun ne unse viprit ksham-daan diya. Waha ek vyakti tha jo apradhi tha aur yaha 7 saamne the jinme se ek khud piche chala gaya aur 5 khade hone laayak na rahe wo bhi itni jaldi ki kisi ko samajh nahi aaya. Bas dikha toh wahi jor jiski tulna tum kutte aur sher ki taaqat se kar rahe ho. Akhaade me ho sakta hai peshewar log ho lekin ye insaan dohre swaroop wala hai aur agar dusra swaroop nikhar kar saamne aaya toh waha manjar qayamat bhara hone wala hai. Yahi wajah hai ki Rameshwar bhai ne eitraaj nahi kiya. Dekha kaise mauke par he saja suna di thik apne dada ji ki tarah? Chalo bhai ghar chhod do bas, neend toh is ladke ne udaa he di hai par araam toh karna hoga.", Jugraaj bhi muskurata hua scooter chalu karne ke baad unhe peeche baitha kar chalne laga.
"Dohra swaroop, kya sahi naam diya hai aapne. Ladka toh pehle se he tayaar hai aur jhalkiyan bhi dikha raha hai ki uski najar aur jism sabkuch samajhta hai. Bache darr na jaaye bas is ghatna se."
"Arre unhone dekha he kaha sabkuch aur hua bhi toh itni jaldi. Waise bhi charcha ke liye kuch toh hona chahiye beta. Khabar honi chahiye ki sher aa chuka hai.", Lala ji ne aadtan hanste hue baat khatam ki aur dono nikal chale, chowkidar ko gate subah 5 baje kholne ka bolte hue.

"Bhabhi, aap yaha raat me akeli khadi ho? Aap pareshan hai na bhabhi?", Nihal apne ghar ki taraf ja raha tha aur jaise he Dipa bhabhi ke ghar ke saamne pahucha usne dekha ki bhabhi bahar thaddi par akeli baithi hai mooh par dupatta liye. Kareeb aane par Nihaal ne paya ki chehre par kuch gilapan tha jo shayad aankhon ya garmi ki wajah se hoga. Uski awaaj sunte he Dipa bhabhi ne hadbadahat me chehra saaf karte hue jhooti muskaan di.
"Na ve, main toh bas tere paah ji ka intjar kar rahi thi. Aaye nahi na roti lene aaj akhade se jaate hue. Tujhe mile kya kahi?", Kitni safaai se wo jhooth bol rahi thi jabki Nihaal jaise unhe sach batane se he darr raha tha.
"Wo bhabhi.. main paah ji ki taraf se aa raha hu Shahid bhai ko khet pe chhod ke. Khana toh aapko bhi pata hai ke yar dosto ke ghar se bhi aa jana. Aap garmi me bahar na baitho, mausam bhi ghuta hoya. Barish hui toh bimaar padd jana aapne.", Nihaal ki bholi baatein sunn kar ab Dipa bhabhi kya jawaab deti.
"Shahid inke paas rukega ya milne gaya hai bas? Aur tu akela he aaya itni dur se?"
"Maaf karna bhabhi pehle maine jhooth kaha ke main paah ji ke pas se aa raha hu. Main aur Arjun baai Shahid paah ji ke naal he the kaafi der tak. Fer unke ghar se khana bandhwa kar paah ji toh Dilbag paah ji ki taraf nikal gaye khet pe aur main abhi Arjun ko haweli chhod ke apne ghar ja raha tha. Kisi ne aapko kuch kaha hai kya bhabhi?", Nihaal darr raha tha ke kahi unhe kisi ne galti se sach na bata diya ho. Pehle he bahot se aise sach the jo Dipa bhabhi ke kaan tak nahi pahuche the aur aaj bhi unhe ye batane koyi na aaya tha ke unke pati ne galat kaam me Kamlesh ka sath diya hai. Gaanv kya poora pariwar he tha ye jisme bache bhi samajhdar he the aise maamlo me.
"Na ve mujhe toh kisi ne nahi kaha kuch aur mausam kharab hone ki wajah se Raano ko andar baandh ke aayi thi na toh bas tumhare paah ji ko udeek rahi thi. Ab Shahid unki taraf chala gaya hai toh mujhe chinta nahi. Nahi toh tujhe he bhejti unka khana dene ke liye. Aur ye Arjun itni der se jata hai kya akhaade se?"
"De vi aana si bhabhi main aap bas keh deya karo. Arjun baai da mood thik c ni kuch aur Shahid paah ji ne thoda bahot hansi majaak karke sada dova da makhol kitta teh oh khush ho gaya. Bada mehanti munda hai bhabhi aur dil da vi changa. Keh raha tha ke kal toh kahi jana hai savere lekin shaam ko akhade jarur aayega. Keh raha tha ke aaj bahot thakaan hai chote pradhan ji bhi haweli nahi hai toh bas time se so jaayega. Maalish ke liye main badi bebe ko bol ke aaya hu baai ki. 2 baje se 5 tak toh wo mitti he khodta raha kalla udhar. Fer practice aur uske baad kabaddi wali kushti. 8 baj gaye.. Bhabhi 8 baj gaye aaj toh ghar se bahar. Bebe idhar he na chali aaye, main jata hu ji. Rabb rakha.", Hath jodd kar ye bhola insaan chala gaya aur peeche chhod gaya us insaan ko jo samajh nahi pa raha tha ke uske jiwan ka saar kya hai. Aaj Arjun ne bas uske aansuo ko dekh kar apna kadam peeche le liya tha jabki wo khud dohre mann se ek taraf waisa hone dena chahti thi aur dusri taraf apradhi ki biwi ke bojh se bachna bhi. Dipa jaanti thi kii uske pati ko maafi jarur mili hogi. Lekin ab Arjun jaise us se aur dur ho gaya tha. Din me toh uski awaaj kam se kam suni thi lekin ab uska bhi wajood rehna tha ya nahi, sab kismat pe tha. Aur wo toh Dipa se tabhi rooth gayi thi jab Dilbag ne usko badchalan bata diya tha parle gaanv ke nashediyon ki sohbat me.

Dohra Charitra
"Main kuch keh sakta hu bau ji?", Madhuri aur uske sasural walo ke sath sath Radhika ke bhi mata pita laut chuke the. Idhar se he Gorav aur Madhuri apne honeymoon par aur baaki log apne ghar. Aaj bagiche me Rameshwar ji ke sath Sanjiv tha, paani ka chhidkaav karte hue kuch gambhir. Uski daadi abhi abhi Roshni bua ke sath mandir gayi thi, apni aastha ki wajah se. Sanjiv bhi yaha isliye ruka tha ki nikalne se pehle wo apne dada ji se bhi kuch charcha kar sake. Rameshwar ji thodi nayi mitti tayaar kar rahe the jo unhone nehar kinare se mangwaayi thi bagiche me milane ke liye. Mitti ke naram dhele todte hue wo ruk gaye jab Sanjiv ne unse aagya chahi.
"Haan bilkul keh sakte ho bhai. Is desh me ye bhi ek adhikaar hai jo tumhe purn ajaadi deta hai apni baat rakhne ya kehne ka.", Ramshwar ji kaha sidha jawaab dete the lekin Sanjiv bhi toh unki chhaya me rehte hue ya bhali prakaar jaan chuka tha. Usne fir bhi chehre par khushi ke bhaav prakat na kiye.
"Aapko lagta hai ki munna jo kar raha hai wo sahi kar raha hai? Haan main us par sandeh nahi kar sakta lekin aap jyadatar pehlu kanoon ki najro se dekhte hai aur mujhe dikh raha hai toh bas apna chota bhai jo bahot saare kanoon aur niyam unki he kamjori ki wajah se badal raha hai.", Rameshwar ji sab sunte hue khurpi lagatar un naram londho par chalate rahe. Sanjiv ne ek taraju me swayam pandit ji aur unke niyam toh dusre me Arjun ko khada kar diya tha. Wo ye bhi jaan gaye the ki Sanjiv se baat bachi nahi hai jo shayad Arjun ka he kiya dhara hai lekin wo fir bhi apne bhai se dur ja raha hai jisme Arjun ka he aagrah hoga.
"Beta reitili mitti me jitna marji paani udel do wo sab sokh kar fir se pyaasi ban jaati hai. Matlab ki niyam jitne marji bana lo par kya kahi wo khatam ho sakte hai? Nahi na? Lekin us reitili mitti me agar garda mila diya jaaye toh kya hoga?", Sanjiv paani aage ki disha me dete hu har baat dhyaan se sunn raha tha.
"Santulit ho jaayegi ye nayi mitti. Na jyada paani sokhegi aur na kichad rahegi. Lekin meri baat ka matlab toh munna aur uski kaarastaniyon se hai na jo thodi bahot toh aapko bhi pata lagi hongi?"
"Hahaha.. yar tum dono bhi toh aise he ho. Khair jawaab jyada saral lehje me dene ki koshish karta hu. Tum ho kanooni aadmi aur wo hai fakeer mastmaula. Jab dono ke beech gehra taalmel baith jaaye toh meri kya bisaat jo main kuch bol paau.", Rameshwar ji ne toh yaha jawaab dene ki jagah jaise Sanjiv ko he lapet liya tha uske aur Arjun ke taalmel ki wajah se. Lekin Sanjiv bhi dhun ka pakka tha jisne is baat par pratikriya dene ki jagah fir se apna sawaal dohra diya.
"Wo kanoon todega toh aap kya karenge bau ji?", Ab toh Pandit ji ne khurpi ek taraf he rakh di aur paani se hath dhone ke baad kursi par baithte hue bagal me Sanjiv ko bhi baitha liya.
"Tum galat karte ho kuch jab duty par hote ho?", Unka ye prashan sachmuch kehne ko he chota tha par Sanjiv aakhir unka he khoon tha aur thik unka anusaran karne wala.
"Apne aap ko aaine me na dekhu bau ji lekin aatma-manthan me kya karunga jab daga karunga? Katai aisa nahi kar sakta jis se meri vardi se pehle aatma par daag lage."
"Main jaanta hu mere bache main atchi tarah se jaanta hu aur yahi wajah hai ki hum tumhare har sawaal par khudse he charcha karte hai. Sanjiv koyi bhi baat aise nahi karta, uski wajah hoti hai aur wo is dehleej ke bahar hai toh duty par hai. Haan Arjun sath ho toh duty avkaash par chali jaati hai aur avkaash pehle he ho toh tum par apne chote ka bhai ka asar ho jata hai. Lekin dusra pehlu jo hai mere sikke ka wo is chehre jitna spasht nahi hai, bas kehne ko number hai. Head tum ho toh tail wo lekin tum chehra ho aur wo... wo pata nahi kya kya hai jo hume bhi kayi baar samajh nahi aata. Khud he dekho ki uski paribhasha toh swayam hamare he paas nahi hai toh koyi aur kya dega? Lekin jaise mujhe tum par vishwas hai na Sanjiv, waise mujhe us par garv hai. Wo kahi jyada he bada registaan hai bhitar se jo tukdo tukdo me saari garda dhoond dhoond kar apne bhitar sama lega. Jaise wo tumhare gunn le chuka hai, mere, apni maa ke aur kudrat ke.", Arjun ka ullekh karte hue wo thoda sa rukte hue Sanjiv ke chehre ke bilkul kareeb aaye aur dhimi awaaj me kaha.
"Blackhole hai wo lekin sirf toote grah aur taare apne andar samahit karne wala. Bas is ek niyam ko he maanta hai tumhara munna aur mere bhi hath khade beta hai kuch maamlo me. Wo jitna khaa chuka hai hume uski khabar he nahi hai aur na tumhe hai, yakin hai hume kyonki wo jis taal pe sabko nacha raha hai uske kuch ansh hamare he aks se jude hai lekin us gyaan ko maine uplabdh nahi karwaya aur or koyi jaanta nahi. Ab ulta ye humko he waha bulane me kaamyab ho gaya jaha jana nahi chahte the."
"Haan aap sahi kehte hai bau ji. Jab meri baah pe soya hota hai toh lagta hai wo aajtak 13-14 saal pehle wala mera nathkhat chota bhai hai par wo apni anjaan duty par hota hai toh uski tayaari pehle he rehti hai. Sabhi ghatnaye, unse jude log aur shayad parinaam bhi. Wo boarding me he tha na bau ji?", Arjun ke vishaya me ye sab sunn kar khud Rameshwar ji ab khamosh rehne ka mann bana rahe the lekin Sanjiv ko pareshan mann ghar se vida karna us dada ko sahi na laga.
"Wo choti choti baato ko ehamiyat deta hai jaise tum dete ho. Lekin wo unke bhi ateet me ghus jata hai jabtak gehraai na maap le, matlab usko farak nahi padta ki ganit ka formula samajhte hue wo bhauti vigyaan me ja raha hai aur udhar se koyi yunani chinh usko kahi aur le jaaye. Wo khojta rahega jab tak ki wo wapis ganit par na laut aaye. Main matlab jaise tum ho waisa he tha aur tumhare Raghuvir dada thode bahot aise jaise Arjun, bahot thode the matlab. Lekin tumhari daadi hai bahot gehre mann wali aur bahar se sakth. Aise he pita ji the hamare, jitna unhe samajhne ki koshish karo utne samajh se bahar aur fir hume ijajat bhi nahi thi jyada taak-jhaak ki. Tumhare pita, chacha aur mama log ya jitne bhi kareebi hai unka kuch alag toh kirdaar hai na, visheshta?", Sanjiv ne paani band karte hue bas sar haa me hilaya.
"Ye insabke gunn le raha hai ya kayion ke toh le bhi chuka hai jaise mere, tumhare, tumhari daadi ke aur sabse eham hai Raghuvir Singh ke khaas gunn jo uske baad thode bahot toh Shankar me bhi the lekin jyada the Ajju me par Ajju tumhari daadi se seekh gaya tha dimaag ko niyantran me rakhna. Ab Arjun wo sabhi niyam jaan ne ke baad unki he kamjori ko hamare saamne la raha hai aur hum siwaye uska sath dene ke kar bhi kya sakte hai.? Lekin jis tarah tum apna karm kar rahe ho, mujhe bhi karte rehna hoga. Tark-sawaal aur gehan avlokan karne se pehle uske kisi bhi kadam par sandeh nahi jataya ja sakta. Toh tumhare laadle ne tumhe nahi bulawa bheja?", Apni majburi khul kar kabool karne ke baad unhone Sanjiv ke kandhe par hath rakhte hu jab akhade ki chunti ke sandarbh me poocha toh wo sar jhukaye he muskura diya.
"Aap sab jaante he hai bau ji. Wo batane ke bawjood hath bhi bandh deta hai aur usne iska jawaab ye keh kar diya ki bhaiya aap jab wapis lautne wale ho toh ek baar phone karna 20 din baad he milenge. Aur mujhe waisa he karna hoga.", Sanjiv uth khada hua saamne Narinder chacha ko car nikale dekh. Radhika sabse milne ke baad dada ji ka aashirwad lene aayi thi jaane se pehle aur Sanjiv uski bagal se nikal kar baaki sadasyo se milne laga. Ab unhe bhi jana tha apne naye rishtey ko majboot banane aur duniya eksath dekhne.
"Bitiya, khaali hath matt lautna. Zindagi aksar bhaagdaud me he nikal jaati hai aur hum phir ek samay par khaas yaadon ki jarurat rehti hai. Apne liye waisi he khoobsurat yaadein jutane ki ye sahi disha hai. Bhagwan Narayan tumhe khush rakhe aur har manokaamna purn ho.", Wo paanv chhone nahi dete the isliye paas baitha kar bas sar pe hath rakhte hue aashirwad diya. Radhika dekh rahi thi ki itne asadharan pratishta wale uske sasur kaise nange paanv he mitti sane paanv ke sath is bagiche me baithe khush the. Uske chehre par bhi pratiuttar me bholi muskaan aa gayi.
"Ji bauji aap bhi apna dhyaan dijiyega aur ye sab kaam kam he kare toh sehat thik rahegi aapki."
"Hahaha.. tum Guddu ki tarah baat kar rahi ho lekin itna dhyaan rakho ki mitti se lagaav barkaraar na rahe toh aksar bimari gher leti hai. Tumhari daadi tumhe jata nahi dekh sakti thi isliye tumhari kushalta ki kaamna maangne apne prabhu ke darbar chali gayi. Pahuchte he unse baat karna aur ab tumhe jana chahiye.", Rameshwar ji ne Radhika ko thik chote bache ki tarah samjhaya toh wo bhi jhempti hui hath jodd kar wapis laut aayi. Car me baithne se pehle Ritu ne jarur unke kaan me kuch kaha jis par wo hairani aur muskurahat ke sath pehle usko dekhti rahi fir kandhe par chapat lagati hui hansti hui pichli seat par baith gayi. Kayi hath in dono ko vida kar rahe the naye safar par jaate hue. Aur pandit ji sabko dekhne ke baad unki tulna apne bagiche se karne lage. Dono he hare-bhare aur vividhta se bharpoor the. Bas aaj us papite ke vriksh ne pehla phal dikhaya tha aur kuch phool bata rahe the ki ye toh bas shuruaat hai.
'Teri maya tu he jaane Arjun puttar. Bina beej ka phal uga diya isne ab pata lagao bhi toh kaha se lagao ki iski nasal me badlaav kaha se aaya?', Apne antarmann me bhi Rameshwar ji ka sochna paheliyon se he bhara tha aur fir khud he hanste hue apne hath paanv dhone lage jab Alka wo paani ki pipe chaalu karke unke saamne aa khadi hui.
"Aaj toh aap maal-poode banane wale tha dada ji? Dekh lo ab toh sab chale bhi gaye aur aapne time yaha kyaari me laga diya.", Alka ke shikayati lehje aur narajgi par Rameshwar ji ne bhi maafi maangi.
"Lakshmi beta tu kuch kahe aur main waisa na karu ye kabhi hua hai? Pehle rasoi khaali karwa aur mujhe bata. Main kapde badal kar aata hu fer sath me kheer bhi rakhte hai. Mewe pehle nikaal le teri daadi ki baari se, wo aa gayi toh pher ulahne dene se na hategi bp aur bimari ke.", Rameshwar ji is se pehle shayad tabhi rasoighar me gaye honge jab Alka ne farmaaish ki hogi, 1 ya dedh saal pehle. Lekin jo bhi banate the fir unki takkar ka poore ghar me koyi na tha us pakwaan me. Aaj unka mann bhi halka tha aur wo kuch hadd tak khush bhi the. Alka bhi chehakti hui nikal bhaagi aur apne bacho ko khush dekh wo bhi muskura diye.
'Kasuhalya devi aise he banaye rakhna is laghu sansaar ko. Sab tumhari he tapasya aur mehnat hai.'

"Dekho bhai apne Arjun ne kabaddi wale khiladiyon ke sath toh daav-pench ke liye mana kar diya jo ki sahi bhi hai. Teesre din inka bhi khel hai aur aise me bematlab kisi ke chot aa jaaye toh khamiyaja poori team ko uthana padega. Ab Shahid ke toh hath khade ho chuke hai lekin apne chote pradhan ji aadha kanaal khudai karke bhi maidaan se hatne ka naam nahi le rahe. Lekin ab kushti ki bajaye match hone ja raha hai kabaddi ka jisme ek taraf hoga Arjun toh dusri taraf gaanv ko 4 baar pratyogita jiwane wale hamare soorma. Wajah bhi iske peeche jaisa Sarpanch sahab aur Arjun se charcha karne par mujhe pata chala. Team pichle 3 baras se dusre he sthaan par rahi hai kyonki parle unche pind wale kaha humse behtar hai wo kami dur karni hogi.", Jugraaj ji sabhi khiladiyon aur shamil logo ko sambodhit karte hue unchi awaaj me bata rahe the aur kabaddi ke naram maidaan ke ird-gird mercury light ki doodhiya roshni me najara joshila ho chala tha. Safed chalk mitti se ghera bana diya gaya tha aur ek taraf akela Arjun khada tha toh dusri taraf Shahid, Dilbag, Kamlesh, Bhola ke sath sath unke purane sathi jo aaj bhi lambe tagde the aur kheto me mehnat ke sath kahi jyada majboot bhi.
"Master ji, aapne toh kaha tha ke Arjun bhai daav lagayenge aur wo bhi ek sath 2-2 bando pe.", Ye yuvak vartmaan kabaddi team ka raider tha, Billa. Kad-kathi me pehalwan aur Arjun jitna he lamba. Uski baat par kayion ne samarthan kiya. Is mahol ko ek taraf toh Damini apni saheli Indu ke sath dekh rahi thi aur dusri taraf chote se vriksh par hath tikaye sehmi hui Dipa bhabhi. Mitti me sana Arjun bilkul mastaye hue saand sa khada tha us maidaan me. Aur thik uske saamne dusri taraf 7 pehalwan sarikhe dugni umar ke maharathi.
"Sunn toh lo bhai sab poori baat. Maksad hai apni aaj ki team ko raid aur gherabandi sikhane ka lekin isme ek badlaav ye hai ki Arjun ko kam se kam 2 logo ko hath lagana hoga raid maarte waqt aur idhar se jo raid maarne jaayega uspe agar Arjun ne daav na lagaya toh ek ank saamne wali team ko. Haar aur jeet pe inaam bhi hai jo apne sarpanch sahab ne ghoshit kiya.", Jugraaj ji ne hanste hue apni baat ko wahi beech me choda toh logo ki utsukta badh gayi. Wahi Dipa bhabhi ne dekh liya tha ki Damini aur Indu ek taraf dabe paanv ja rahi thi. Dimag do tarfa tha ab unka. Pehle wo Arjun ki chinta se yaha aayi thi aur ab in dono ko aise jaata dekh koyi aur bura khayaal mann me uthne laga.
"Master ji ab inaam bhi bata do, kyun tarsa rahe ho hum bacho ko?", Ye Bhoot tha lekin jaane kyun usko ye naam diya gaya. 6 feet uncha, thoda pakke rang ka lekin jism se balisht. College tak padhaai ke baad filhal natije ke intjaar aur kabaddi ke siwa koyi kaam nahi tha.
"Inaam ye hai kaka ji ki jo bhi Arjun se ek point hansil karega, badle me apne sarpanch ji tumhari team ko ek khuraak denge. 5 point ka game toh matlab Dilbag ki team agar 5 ank arjit karti hai toh agle 3 din ki khuraak ka kharcha apne maan-niya sarpanch ji uthayenge. Doodh, anda, meat, maalish sabkuch.", Ab toh Kewal Singh ke naam par jordaar taaliyan goonji. Wo bhi hath utha kar sabko shaant karte hue khushi se haan bharne lage.
"Ye toh ek tarfa inaam hua ji. Arjun bhai jeetega toh kya hume khuraak Sarpanch sahab ko deni padegi?", Bhole Nihaal ka bhola sa sawaal tha aur sabhi hans diye. Ek taraf kuch ladkiyan bhi hath me badminton liye khusar phusar kar rahi thi. Khel-ghar me unka bhi dabdaba tha barabari ki wajah se beshak ladkiyan jyadatar badminton tak he simit thi ya fir wo thoda bahot handball khelne aati thi. Is beech Dipa bhabhi ki najro ne kuch ajeeb hote dekha. Diwar ke dusri aur koyi khada tha jiske sath sar ko dhake Damini baat kar rahi thi aur wo shaksh us taraf andhere ki wajah se saaf nahi dikh raha tha. Lekin tha wo koyi aisa jiski chhavi Dipa andhere me bhi pehchan sakti thi. Indu kuch dur khadi jaise baaki sab par dhyaan rakh rahi thi. Damini ne kuch diya tha us shaksh ko aur badle me usne bhi jo Damini ne apne seene me chhupa liya. Wo dono ab idhar aane ki bajaaye wahi se chalti hui khel-ghar se bahar nikal chali. Dipa ke dil aur mann ko vichlit karke.
"Hahaha.. Oye Neeleya, Arjun ki taraf se aisa he inaam daanv pe lagaya hai apne lala ji aur daar ji ne, jis wajah se swayam Lala ji yaha padhare hai. Toh ab jaisa nirdharit kiya gaya hai, toss ke baad khel shuru.", Jugraaj ji ne Arjun aur Shahid ko aage bulate hue sikka uchala toh jeet Shahid bhai ki hui. Dono hath milane ke baad alag ho kar apni apni jagah aa gaye, raid daalne ka jimma Arjun ko diya gaya tha.
'Daare tu kinare te, Bholeya tu isde thik peeche rahi. Dilu oh tere hath na laga sake, dhyan rakhi. Pehla mauka dena appa Arjun nu.', Shahid bhai the bhi kisi pehalwan jaise jo itne barso se akhade se niyamit jude the. Dilbaag furtila tha kabhi jo ab bas majboot sharir wala reh gaya tha. Usko thoda peeche rakhte hue Shahid ne baaki sabhi ko unka kaam samjha diya. Arjun mitti ke hath lagata 'kabaddi'kabaddi' bolte hue jaise he unke paale me dakhil hua wo 'C' akaar ka ghera thoda peeche hua. Sabhi dekh rahe the ki Arjun bahot sadhe hue kadmo se bas rekha ki kinare kinare idhar udhar ho raha hai. Jaise wo inke kadmo aur sharirik bhasha ka gyaan le raha ho. Kamlesh purana khiladi tha jisne ghera todne se pehle Dilbag ke kaan me kuch kaha aur apne sath ek aur khiladi ko liye baayi taraf se Arjun ko gherne ki kavayad karne laga. Aur wo apna prayas karta us se pehle he Arjun unki taraf kadamo ka dikhawa karke apne peeche khade Bholu aur Daare ke beech furti se nikalta wapis apne paale aa khada hua. Koyi samjha bhi nahi lekin Bholu aur Dara sar pe hath rakhte hue bahar chal diye.
"Lo vi mitro, Arjun ne raid poori kitti. Plan bane reh gaye aur banda baaj nikliya jehda samajh aun toh pehla he kamm kar gaya dona de thapki maarda. Arjun da ek point.", Ab charcha ka vishaya tha Arjun ki ummeed se he jyada furti aur uska jhapatna, jo aankh jhapkne se pehle ho gaya tha. Taaliyan ruki toh is baar Shahid ke sath Dilbag ne Arjun ke paale me kadam rakha, dono viprit disha se badhe the. Dipa bhabhi jaise anjaane darr ki wajah se thoda kareeb aa khadi hui aur in dono ko poori mustaidi se dekh raha Arjun Shahid bhai ki taraf jhapat kar unhe patak he raha tha ki Dilbaag ne chalaang lagate hue uske paanv jameen se ukhaad diye. Dipa ki saans he ruk chali thi ye soch kar he ki is prahaar se yakinan Arjun ko chot pahuchi hai. Udhar Arjun toh Shahid bhai ke upar se he palti kha kar mooh se mitti saaf karta khada ho gaya par Dilbaag wapis bhag chuka tha.
"Dilbag ne point kamaya teh Arjun ne daanv poora kitta. Mamla barabar reha es karke Shahid khel vich rahega. Ek point Shahid di team ne kyonki Arjun ne dono bande nahi giraye.", Jaisa ki purv-nirdharit hua tha ki Arjun ko dono raider ko patakhni dene par he ank milega aur waisa na hone par jo usko chu kar nikal jayega, ank us raider ko prapt hoga. Hua bhi aisa he jab Dilbag bach nikla lekin Shahid ko patakne ki wajah se 2 me se ek he ank ban paya. Khel yahi se majedar ho chala tha lekin bheed bhi badhne lagi thi, baat aaspas chupal tak jaane se. Dipa chalti hui kab agle paale ke kinare pahuch gayi usko bhi dhyaan na raha. Jyadatar log baithe the aur kuch khade toh Dipa bhabhi fir bhi kuch duri par halke andhere me thi. Arjun ne honth par aaya halka sa lahu jeeb se he chaat kar saaf karne ke baad raid shuru ki.
"Is baar dhava bolna 'P' bana ke lekin Kamlesh tum aur Dilu dandi pe rahoge bhai.", Shahid ke kahe anusaar 7 ke 7 khiladi panje majbooti si tikaye is tarah ghoomne lage jaise Arjun kendra bindu ho aur wo koyi naag jo usko kasne ke khwahishmand ho. Is baar uttejana me Bholu bahar se he cheekha.
"Oh Minder, gitteya te jump maar isde. Mege, lamak ja pith teh sheti.", Wo keh raha tha ki ek vyakti jaldi uske ghutno par chalaang lagaye aur dusra peeth par sawar ho jaaye. Arjun ne ghera kasne diya apne ird-gird aur jaise he wo dono vyakti uski taraf koode, thik saamne teesra aur Shahid Arjun ko dabochne koode. Aur yahi Arjun Minder se bachta hua Mege ko apne kandhe par uthaye apne paale ki taraf kood gaya. Ye dono he usne bahar kar diye the par 80-90 kilo ke Mege ko usne jitne araam se uthaya aur fir apne paale me araam se giraya tha sabhi taali aur seetiyan maarte reh gaye. Arjun sirf aur sirf khel raha tha jabki dusri taraf wo log haanfte hue ab isko gambhirta se lene lage, khaaskar Kamlesh aur Dilbag.
"Oye balle oh pandta. Sirra he lagata putt tu tah. Ae school de jawaak nai hai jinhanu tu ehda chuk ke pajh janda. Hahaha.. mann gaye putra.", Lala ji ne Jugraaj ji dwara 1 ank Arjun ko pradaan karne ke baad is adhbut drishya se khush ho kar paas khadi un 5-6 ladkiyon ko 50-50 rupaye diye, khel me lagan dikhane ke evaj me. Saamne Shahid ki team jaise do faad ho gayi thi is raid ke baad. Jaha Shahid 4 khiladion ko raid daalne ki yojna bata raha tha, wahi Dilbag ko Kamlesh budbudate hue kuch alag he kaam bata raha tha, bina uski taraf dekhe jaise wo iska pata kisi ko lagne na dena chahta ho. Dilbaag ne bolne se pehle har taraf aaspas baithe logo ko dekha aur utni he dhimi awaaj me usne jawaab diya. Unki team se 2 tagde khiladi Arjun ko gherne nikal chale the jabki Arjun unhe dekhne ke sath sath ye bhi dhyaan de raha tha ki saamne ek team nahi balki 2 khel rahi hai. Choti team kabaddi ke sath jaise aur kuch bhi karne ka irada rakhti hai. Dono khiladi satarkta se Arjun ki aur dhire dhire badh rahe the. Arjun kuch kadam peeche hota hua kabhi ek taraf ho jata toh kabhi dusre wale ko peeche hatne par majboor karta. Kamlesh ne sabhi ka dhyaan Arjun pe lage dekh Dilbaag ki jaangh par ungli chalte hue khaas ishara diya aur wo uske aage ho gaya. Dilbag ghere ki antim line par tha jidhar bas 2 he log the kyonki jyadatar toh paale ke aamne saamne lambvat baith kar ye khel dekh rahe the. Andhere me Dilbag ke hath me kuch pakdaya gaya aur fir wo vyakti waha se hat kar bheed me ja mila. Dipa bhabhi ne bhi ye dekh liya tha jiski aashanka ab sahi saabit hoti jaa rahi thi. Udhar Arjun un dono ko chhaka raha tha darate hue aur jaise he ek ki saans tootne lagi Arjun ne hath ka dikhawa usko pakadne ka karte hue paanv viprit disha me ghuma kar dusre wale ka rasta band kar diya. Palak jhapakte he wo Arjun ke kandhe se ghoom kar poli mitti me peeth ke bal gira tha aur jitne dusra Arjun ko choone ki koshish karta, uske badhe hue hath ko kandhe par laate hue Arjun ne kisi bori ki tarah ghuma kar badi aahista se uski peeth bhi pehle wale ki bagal me sata di.
"Oh Arjun baai.. ek number speed hai baai.. mann gaye tere dimaag nu. Jama billi wang jhapteya.", Nihaal khushi se taali peet raha tha aur Arjun un dono ko hath de kar uthane ke baad apni jagah aa kar wapis khada ho gaya. Un dono khiladiyon ke mann se ab gambhir pratiyogita wali baat nikal kar Arjun ke liye samman badh chuka tha jo khushi khushi maidaan se bahar kinare pe ja khade hue. Bholu aur Dara fir se team me aa chuke the unke bahar hone ki wajah se. Yahi niyam tha ki saamne 7 barkarar rahenge.
"Mitra pyaaron, score hai Arjun 3 Shahid 1. Matlab bas ek raid aur ek bachaav poora karna hai Arjun ne jabki itna he agar dusri team karti hai toh khel barabar. Aur dugna karne pe wo vijeta. Dekhna hoga tajurba jeetega ya josh.", Jugraaj ji ne ank sunaye toh Nihaal aur uske dost taliyan peetne lage the par kuch aur bhi the jo is se alag raaye rakhte the aur wo inse alag apne he jhund me the. Unki taraf kisi ne khaas tavajjo bhi na di. Dipa bhabhi gor se dekh rahi thi ki uska pati kya karne wala hai gaagh Kamlesh ke sath mil kar. Arjun bhi dekh raha tha ki Kamlesh Shahid ki jagah khud baki khiladiyon ko apne hisaab se gherabandi karne ka keh raha tha. Matlab saaf tha ki is raid me Arjun ke sath wo niyam se nahi khelne wala tha.
'Chilla bhi nahi sakti aur agar bata dene par kuch na mila toh badnaami ke naam par jaleel alag karenge. Waheguru Arjun ko bacha lo bas.', Dipa bhabhi ki sthithi bhi uchit thi. Saamne uska he pati niyam se virudh kaam karne wala tha jiska parinaam pakde jaane par bhi ghatak aur Arjun ke jakhmi hone par bhi. Wo chaah kar bhi cheekh nahi sakti thi ki Arjun par khatra hai. Is andhere me Dilbaag apni mutthi me chhipaya hathiyaar kahi bhi fenk kar bach sakta tha aur ghar jaane ke baad wo jo salook Dipa ke sath karta, us se yakeenan jism ke jakhm badhne he wale the. Arjun ghutno ke bal baith kar sar jhukata hua jaise fefdo me praanvayu badha raha tha ya kuch aur. Usko is andaaj me dekh khud Lala ji aur Jugraaj ji bhi apna dhyaan us par lagaye the. Wo jab khada hua toh chehre par alag he muskaan thi aur aankhon me manzil ko paane ki chahat.
"Sukhi, Bholu tum dono darna nahi aur line me idhar peeche hatne ke baad jitna ho sake is ladke ko andar lete aana. Jeete tu Shahid ke sath jodi me saamne reh kar kadam piche karte jana jis se fanda bann sake. Kala aur main bhi idhar aisa he karenge. Koyi galti nahi honi chahiye is baar. Uski saans na tooti toh is baar he wo jeet jana. Dilu, dhyaan naal.", Dilbaag ko Kamlesh ne alag sandesh diya tha. Lekin saamne se aata hua insaan jaise in chote mote ghero ki baare me soch he nahi raha tha. Safed patti paar karne se pehle usne jis tarah Dipa bhabhi ki aankhon me dekha tha wo kuch samajh na saki. Uski muskurahat dekh toh aisa lag raha tha jaise koyi Aashiq khudkhushi karne se pehle aakhir baar chehra dikha raha ho apne ishq ko.
"Fans gaya tah zinda nahi bachna main Kamli. Vekh teri gherabandi tagdi hai, appa jitt jana ehda vi.", Dilbaag mann he mann darr raha tha aur uski ye aakhiri koshish thi Kamlesh ko manane ki. Yahi dono the sabse aakhir me daayi taraf ke kone par.
"Shhh.. Baat haar jit ki nahi hai Dilu, poore pind ki hai. Ye banda akhade nahi jaane dena dargah wale. Bas sab jaise he isko daboche, keel patt me ya chuttad pe ghusa diyo."
"Sooye ka tukda iska akhade se na rok sakega.", Dilbaag ki mutthi band thi jaise usme he wo sookshm hathiyar tha.
"Sharir me taap chadhega iske bas chubha diyo. Wo aa chuka hai.", Kamlesh ne ye na bataya tha ke wo bas sua nahi hai balki jehar bujha sua hai jo kuch bhi kar sakta tha Arjun ke sath. Bahot he dhimi raftar me kabaddi kabaddi bolta hua Arjun bas Shahid ko he dekh raha tha jaise wo kehna chah raha ho ki saamne matt aana. 4 kadam aage badhate he jaisa Kamlesh ne kaha tha thik waisa he hua aur parinaam bilkul viprit. 2 log peeche se aur 2 saamne se koode the par Shahid ek taraf ho gaya Arjun ko khule sand ki tarah kandha ek taraf wale 2 logo par maarte dekh. Mitti ko pichle dono paanv ne aise udaya tha ki peeche wale dono apne chehre ko dhakne par majboor ho gaye. Kamlesh jhapata lekin is baar khel se virudh Arjun ne uski gardan pakad kar jameen par aise de mara tha ki aasman me jo taare abhi aaye na the wo Kamlesh dekhne laga tha. Dilbag ke hath se wo sue ka tukda ek taraf gir gaya jisko aage badhte Jugraaj ji ne bhi dekha, jo Arjun ko rokne aa rahe the. Lekin deri ho he gayi.
"Namard ho tummmm", Ye dahaad aisi thi ki har insaan kaanp utha aur jab tak wo log samajhne laayak hote Dilbaag Arjun ke paanv pe gir chuka tha.
"Maaf kar do pradhaan ji .. maaf kar do.. Ye Kamli ne kaha tha ke aapko akhaade me jaane se rokne ke liye ye karna jaruri hai. Mujhe nahi pata tha ke is ek sue ki maar se aap kaise jakhmi ho sakte the.. Mujhe maaf kar do..", Haal e bayaan sunte hue bhi Arjun ne pehle toh Kamlesh ki taang pakad kar usko apne paale ki taraf uchaal fenka fir paanv utha kar jaise he Dilbaag ke jhuke hue sar pe rakhne laga toh andhere me chamakte un 2 aansuon ne uska ye vaar rok diya. Arjun palat kar Sarpanch ki taraf chal diya tha.
"Ho gaya na pramanit Sarpanch sahab ki aapka shak sahi tha. Ab kya karna hai inke sath? Dilbag ko saja mere dada ji sunayenge aur itne ye vyakti apne khet se bahar nahi niklega. Ullanghan hone par khet-khalihaan wapis. Dusre ko aap apne tarike se dekho jo aapke shak par khara utar gaya, durbhagya se.", Arjun ne is baar sarpanch Kewal Singh ke charan sparsh kiye the aur sabhi ko sadme me chhod wo Nihal ka hath pakad kar Shahid bhaiya ke sath yaha se chal diya. Lala ji ne bhi ghere me bache dono ke siwa sabhi ko waha se abhi ke abhi jaane ka aadesh diya toh Dipa bhabhi na chahte hue bhi bheed ke sath yaha se chali gayi. Arjun ghar ki taraf na ja kar khel-ghar ki bagal wali sunsaan gali ki aur ja raha tha. Shahid bhai ne he usko kuch der sath rehne ke liye manaya tha.
"Lala ji, Dilbaag ka toh hisaab bana gaye chote pandit par hamare bhai ko shayad hum sahi saja nahi de paayenge. Jugraaj bhai, Kamlesh ke hath baandh do peeth peeche. Hosh me aayega toh jawaab lenge is se.", Kewal Singh Lala ji ki kursi ke paas he jameen par baith gaya. Aankhon me aansu the aur dil me kuch halkapan. Dilbag ne dono ki taraf ghutno par gire hue hath jode toh pehli baar master Jugraaj ne niyam kaayde bhulate hue uske gaal par jhannate dar thappad jadd diya.
"Bada maan tha ve Dilleya tere teh sahnu. Tu tah akhaade da he maan na rakheya. Kuj kami reh gayi se saade pyaar satkaar vich jo tu pind de maan nu he mitaan lageya ci?"
"Daar ji, main sach kehna hai chahe gurughar sau uthwa lo. Menu Kamli ne keha c ki eh kil Arjun de patt ya peeche maar ke osnu mele vich shamil hon toh rokna. Kehnda ki eh pind de mukhiya di jaan da sawaal hai. Tussi jaande ho ki es Dilbaag ne kadi koyi galat kamm nai kitta? Main Kamli de iraade nahi c jaanda?", Wo safaai de raha tha aur Lala ji feeki hansi dete hue usko dekh rahe the. Jugraaj ne Kamlesh ke bhi hath baandh diye the peeth ki taraf aur jald he waha Succha Singh ji ke sath sath, Rajnish ji urf Manager sahab ghatnasthal par pahuche 2 yuvako ko liye. Unhe poore maamle se khud sarpanch ne avgat karwaya. Chehre par unke bhi 12 baj gaye the sab sunn kar.
"Kewal Singh, tumhe Kamlesh ki jaankari thi?", Ye Succha Singh ji ne poocha tha jo ab chintit bhi the aur dukhi bhi.
"Ji baba ji lekin saboot nahi tha mere pas. Mahine pehle se main dekh raha tha ki ye parle pind ke kuch badmasho ke sath jyada he mel-jol badha raha hai. Dilbag nahi jaanta tha un logo ki mansha lekin sab log ayyashi iske he khet par karte the. Chahe Dilbag waha ho ya nahi. Adde wali rangdaari me bhi iska jikar hua tha lekin paiso ke dum par isne he baat dabva di. Kal Nawaab ki kuch baatchit hui thi Arjun se shaam ko aur uske baad wo ghar pe apne is chache se he baat kar raha tha ki kaise uske dost Arjun ko thikane lagana chahte hai. Pehle he maine vadde daar ji ko bataya tha ki iska gaanv nikala karwa do toh sahi hoga lekin aapke saamne he hai ke meri ijjat uchaal di isne wo bhi Pandit ji ke bache par humle ki saajish sare aam karte hue. Main padvi chhod dunga ji lekin kal ki panchayat me iska fainsla mujhe he karne de toh behtar hoga.", Itna khulasa karne ke baad Kewal Singh ek aur baith gaya. Kamlesh ke mooh se khoon beh raha tha aur wo bhi ab dard ko peene ki koshish karta hua uthne laga tha par hath bandhe dekh hairaani se saamne baithe logo ko ghoorne laga.
"Hmmm. Arjun ne fainsla tumhe he karne ko kaha hai toh aisa he hoga. Dilbaag ki saja kya hogi ye Pandit Rameshwar ji nirdharit karenge ya hum abhi unse baat karne ke baad subah panchayat me he unka farmaan bata denge. Filhal Dilbaag tumhe jo aadesh mila hai, wahi karna hai. Yaad rahe ki gaanv nikala nahi khet me najarband ki saja mili hai tumhe. 2 waqt ka khana tumhe wahi milega aur agar tum saja-khilafi karte ho toh hatya ke pryaas me saja bhogne se pehle sampatti kurk hogi aur gaanv bedakhli alag. Waise bhagyashali ho tum jo us bhali aatma ne tumhe jaane kaise baksh diya. Humla dekh kar toh lag raha tha ke ghere se koyi bhi apne paanv par khada hone laayak nahi bachega. Wo yaha logo ke manoranjan ke liye khel raha tha tum sabko aukaat dikha kar ki uske liye tum mehaj manoranjan ka jariya ho. Fir bhi baaj nahi aaye murkhta dikhane se.", Lala ji ne bhali bhaanti wo chaal aur poora drishya dekha tha jisme Arjun kahi se bhi Arjun na tha.
"Lala ji, es kill teh zehar bujhaya hoya ji.", Jugraaj kaanch ke gilaas me duba kar wo sue ka tukda liye aaya toh paani ka rang badal chuka tha. Dilbaag toh ye dekhte he khud ke gaal par thappad ki baarish karne laga jisko un 2 yuvako ne roka Suchha Singh ji ke aadesh par.
"Yahi case ab Kamlesh par banega Kewal Singh, tumhare panchayti farmaan ke baad. Pandit ji shayad khud pooch-tach karna chahenge ab Kamlesh Singh se. Ye saboot aur Kamlesh ko sath le chalo Dhiraj-Manjeet. Panchayat me pesh hone ke baad bhi ye hamari nigraani me rahega. Kewal, panchayat band kamre me lagegi aur uski munaadi matt karwana. Milte hai subah 7 baje dharamshala me. Zehar wali baat failne na paaye aur Nawaab se keh dena ki ya toh ghar rahe ya fir usko nanihaal bhijwa do kuch hafte. Tumne gaanv ko hamesha pehle rakha hai pariwar se toh itna toh tumhare liye hum bhi kar sakte hai. Dilbaag, tumhari saja shuru ho chuki hai. Nikal jao aur jab bulawa aaye toh hajir ho jana. Chaliye baba ji. Lala ji aapko Juggi chhod dega.", Rajnish ji ke aadmi Kamlesh ko jeep ke pichle hisse me fenk chuke the aur Succha Singh ji ko agli seat par baitha kar Rajnish ji waha se nikal gaye.
"Tumhe bura lag raha hoga na Kewal bhai?", Dilbaag toh andhere me jaise taise nikal chala tha par Jugraaj aur Lala ji sarpanch ke sath wahi par baithe the.
"Atcha he lag raha hai filhaal toh Juggi baai. Mera bas nahi chalta nahi toh parle pind ke saare nashedi dariyan me hath baandh kar fenk du. Dekh lo sangat ka asar. Main fauj sewa me raha aur jakhmi lauta par hara nahi. Bhagwaan, manjhla hai lekin mujhse jyada samajhdar aur is pind ka maan lekin ye sapola khud toh barbaad hua so hua, apne bhatije tak ko nahi baksha isne. Lala ji, chaupaal me ghoshna kar dena ki sabhi khiladiyon ki khuraak mere jimme hai. Is ghatna ke baare me waise toh log jyada baat nahi karenge kyunki wo toh darr he gaye the us awaaj aur tufaan se lekin ye aapne sahi kiya ki panchayat band kamre me rakhwai. Aagya dijiye, thoda apne nawaab ki bhi khair khabar leta hu.", Sarpanch ne Jugraaj se hath milaya aur Lala ji ke charan sparsh karne ke baad seedha apne ghar ki taraf chal diye, tej kadmo se.
"Kya lagta hai Juggi beta, us aandhi ko dekh kar?", Lala ji Jugraaj ke scooter ki taraf badhte hue ab thoda muskura rahe the jaise unhe is haadse ki ab chinta na ho. Waise bhi saja ka farmaan toh diya he ja chuka tha aur wo bhi bina mahol ko garam kiye.
"Aap behtar bata sakte hai chacha. Maine toh bas aaj 2 alag alag Arjun dekhe. Ek jo pehle hansi majaak me sabke sath khel khel raha tha aur dusra jaise koyi aur he tha. Apni taaqat ka ek chota sa namuna deta hua jungle ka raja. Bholu aur Sukhi ki toh hansli gir gayi hai kandha utarne ke sath. Jabki haalat baaki dono ki bhi thik nahi thi. Kamlesh ko dekha na kaise khoon ugal raha tha aur itni taaqat kisi me kaise ho sakti hai chacha? Wo sachmuch he jaise kutte aur sher wala muqabla tha. Sher ne mooh ki jagah panje se uchaal diya is dagabaaj ko. Pehle aisa kuch dekha hai aapne?", Jugraaj ne scooter me chabi lagane ke baad unki taraf dekha.
"Tulna toh nahi kar sakta par bade Pandit ji rehte toh hamesha he shaant aur hanste bolte the par jab unke gusse ko dekha toh tumhare jaisa he haal mera tha. Lekin unhone saja us vyakti ko kuchal kar di thi jabki Arjun ne unse viprit ksham-daan diya. Waha ek vyakti tha jo apradhi tha aur yaha 7 saamne the jinme se ek khud piche chala gaya aur 5 khade hone laayak na rahe wo bhi itni jaldi ki kisi ko samajh nahi aaya. Bas dikha toh wahi jor jiski tulna tum kutte aur sher ki taaqat se kar rahe ho. Akhaade me ho sakta hai peshewar log ho lekin ye insaan dohre swaroop wala hai aur agar dusra swaroop nikhar kar saamne aaya toh waha manjar qayamat bhara hone wala hai. Yahi wajah hai ki Rameshwar bhai ne eitraaj nahi kiya. Dekha kaise mauke par he saja suna di thik apne dada ji ki tarah? Chalo bhai ghar chhod do bas, neend toh is ladke ne udaa he di hai par araam toh karna hoga.", Jugraaj bhi muskurata hua scooter chalu karne ke baad unhe peeche baitha kar chalne laga.
"Dohra swaroop, kya sahi naam diya hai aapne. Ladka toh pehle se he tayaar hai aur jhalkiyan bhi dikha raha hai ki uski najar aur jism sabkuch samajhta hai. Bache darr na jaaye bas is ghatna se."
"Arre unhone dekha he kaha sabkuch aur hua bhi toh itni jaldi. Waise bhi charcha ke liye kuch toh hona chahiye beta. Khabar honi chahiye ki sher aa chuka hai.", Lala ji ne aadtan hanste hue baat khatam ki aur dono nikal chale, chowkidar ko gate subah 5 baje kholne ka bolte hue.
.
.
"Bhabhi, aap yaha raat me akeli khadi ho? Aap pareshan hai na bhabhi?", Nihal apne ghar ki taraf ja raha tha aur jaise he Dipa bhabhi ke ghar ke saamne pahucha usne dekha ki bhabhi bahar thaddi par akeli baithi hai mooh par dupatta liye. Kareeb aane par Nihaal ne paya ki chehre par kuch gilapan tha jo shayad aankhon ya garmi ki wajah se hoga. Uski awaaj sunte he Dipa bhabhi ne hadbadahat me chehra saaf karte hue jhooti muskaan di.
"Na ve, main toh bas tere paah ji ka intjar kar rahi thi. Aaye nahi na roti lene aaj akhade se jaate hue. Tujhe mile kya kahi?", Kitni safaai se wo jhooth bol rahi thi jabki Nihaal jaise unhe sach batane se he darr raha tha.
"Wo bhabhi.. main paah ji ki taraf se aa raha hu Shahid bhai ko khet pe chhod ke. Khana toh aapko bhi pata hai ke yar dosto ke ghar se bhi aa jana. Aap garmi me bahar na baitho, mausam bhi ghuta hoya. Barish hui toh bimaar padd jana aapne.", Nihaal ki bholi baatein sunn kar ab Dipa bhabhi kya jawaab deti.
"Shahid inke paas rukega ya milne gaya hai bas? Aur tu akela he aaya itni dur se?"
"Maaf karna bhabhi pehle maine jhooth kaha ke main paah ji ke pas se aa raha hu. Main aur Arjun baai Shahid paah ji ke naal he the kaafi der tak. Fer unke ghar se khana bandhwa kar paah ji toh Dilbag paah ji ki taraf nikal gaye khet pe aur main abhi Arjun ko haweli chhod ke apne ghar ja raha tha. Kisi ne aapko kuch kaha hai kya bhabhi?", Nihaal darr raha tha ke kahi unhe kisi ne galti se sach na bata diya ho. Pehle he bahot se aise sach the jo Dipa bhabhi ke kaan tak nahi pahuche the aur aaj bhi unhe ye batane koyi na aaya tha ke unke pati ne galat kaam me Kamlesh ka sath diya hai. Gaanv kya poora pariwar he tha ye jisme bache bhi samajhdar he the aise maamlo me.
"Na ve mujhe toh kisi ne nahi kaha kuch aur mausam kharab hone ki wajah se Raano ko andar baandh ke aayi thi na toh bas tumhare paah ji ko udeek rahi thi. Ab Shahid unki taraf chala gaya hai toh mujhe chinta nahi. Nahi toh tujhe he bhejti unka khana dene ke liye. Aur ye Arjun itni der se jata hai kya akhaade se?"
"De vi aana si bhabhi main aap bas keh deya karo. Arjun baai da mood thik c ni kuch aur Shahid paah ji ne thoda bahot hansi majaak karke sada dova da makhol kitta teh oh khush ho gaya. Bada mehanti munda hai bhabhi aur dil da vi changa. Keh raha tha ke kal toh kahi jana hai savere lekin shaam ko akhade jarur aayega. Keh raha tha ke aaj bahot thakaan hai chote pradhan ji bhi haweli nahi hai toh bas time se so jaayega. Maalish ke liye main badi bebe ko bol ke aaya hu baai ki. 2 baje se 5 tak toh wo mitti he khodta raha kalla udhar. Fer practice aur uske baad kabaddi wali kushti. 8 baj gaye.. Bhabhi 8 baj gaye aaj toh ghar se bahar. Bebe idhar he na chali aaye, main jata hu ji. Rabb rakha.", Hath jodd kar ye bhola insaan chala gaya aur peeche chhod gaya us insaan ko jo samajh nahi pa raha tha ke uske jiwan ka saar kya hai. Aaj Arjun ne bas uske aansuo ko dekh kar apna kadam peeche le liya tha jabki wo khud dohre mann se ek taraf waisa hone dena chahti thi aur dusri taraf apradhi ki biwi ke bojh se bachna bhi. Dipa jaanti thi kii uske pati ko maafi jarur mili hogi. Lekin ab Arjun jaise us se aur dur ho gaya tha. Din me toh uski awaaj kam se kam suni thi lekin ab uska bhi wajood rehna tha ya nahi, sab kismat pe tha. Aur wo toh Dipa se tabhi rooth gayi thi jab Dilbag ne usko badchalan bata diya tha parle gaanv ke nashediyon ki sohbat me.

"Aaj toh sara din he bahar bita diya beta tumne. Aur ek din me he itni mehnat karne ki kya jarurat aan padi thi jaise kal suraj nahi nikalne wala?", Arjun angocha lapete hue aangan ki taraf lagi motor ke niche baitha apne jism se mitti paseena saaf kar raha tha. Nirmal thanda paani jaha jism ko sukoon de raha tha wahi kuch jagah lagi halki ragad aur kharoche saaf bhi. Devaki khud he toliya uske kareeb taar par dalne ke baad khaat par baith kar usko nahate dekh baat karne lagi. Uske jism par paini najar thi Devaki ki jaise wo kuch khaas dekhna chahti ho par na dekh paane se nirasha hui jisko alag tarah jahir kiya.
"Daadi, aaj sanyukt abhyaas tha na waha par toh time lag gaya. Din he kitne bache hai apne gaanv ki team ke paas.? Fir thoda bahot akhaade me khelne ke baad main Shahid bhai ki taraf chala gaya aur uske baad Nihaal bhai ke sath tehalne. Aaj dada ji najar nahi aa rahe abhi tak?", Arjun ne khade ho kar jism par thoda sarson ka teil mala aur geele badan ko he halke hatho se maalish karte hue Devaki se baat bhi. Meena apna kaam poora karne ke baad darwaja band karke ek taraf khadi thi jaise aagya chahti ho apne kamre jaane ki.
"Atchi baat hai beta ki tum mehnat kar rahe ho. Thoda sambhal ke rehna bas, gaanv-dehaat me aksar log ranjish ke mauke dhoondte hai aur tum toh unke liye anjaan bhi nahi. Na ghar pe tumhare chacha hai aur na dada. Aise me koyi toh purush yaha rehna chahiye na? Khet se kal he lautenge ab. Aur kuch khaas kiya aaj?", Ab Krishneshwar ji ka toh yahi tha. Khet-khalihaan ke baad gaanv biradari me rehna. Ghar pe waise he unke sath bolne chalne ko log he kitne the. Lekin jis tarah Devaki ne khaas baat kaha Arjun sar jhukaye dono ghutno se niche pindalion tak maalish karta mand mand muskuraya. Damini in dono ki awaaj sunn kar idhar he chali aayi, jo shayad aaj aaj me he teesri ya chauthi baar nahai thi. Kaale rang ka 3 button wala sabhya gown pehne kuch unmukt thi ghar pe sewak aur pita ki gair maujdgi si. Arjun ne us par dhyaan na diya jaise koyi khabar he na ho.
"Khaas baat toh hui daadi lekin pata nahi kitni khaas hai. Koyi Shabana aunty ji hai gaanv me, jinka beta koyi yojna bana raha tha bhari gadbad karne ki khel-ghar ya mele me ye toh saaf nahi hua lekin wo aisa he karne wala tha aur uske sath paas ke he gaanv ke 2 aur ladke bhi the. Rajnish dada ji ne wo dono ladke toh pakad liye par Shabana aunty ka wo beta andhere ka faayeda utha kar nikal gaya. Haah... Shabbir naam tha shayad. Ab main toh naya hu yaha toh mujhe kya pata kaun kya hai aur naam itne yaad bhi kaha rehte hai? Aap jaanti hai unko?", Ye baat usne sharir ko paunchte waqt Damini ki taraf dekhte hue kahi thi jiske chehre par ekdum se khauf ubhar aaya tha. Lekin jaangh par uski maa ka hath mehsoos karte he wo apni jagah se uthti hui Meena ko jaane se pehle kaam batane ka dikhawa karti ek taraf chali gayi.
"Wo pariwar toh bahot bhala hai beta kyonki Shabana mere saamne toh byaah kar aayi thi idhar. Aur aana jana toh mera bhi hai thoda unki taraf lekin Shabbir aur uske bhai ko toh main sare raah fatkaar lagati rahi hu aise galat mel jol ki wajah se. Par yojna matlab toh wo kuch bada karne ki firaaq me he hoga jo manager sahab ne najar rakhi. Behan Seerat jitni nekdil aur sanskari, utna he nikamma aur ghatiya ye ladka. Jarur xxxx nikal gaya hoga bachne ke liye, udhar nanihaal hai na uska. Gaanv ki baat hai toh panchayat se bahar nahi jaane wali par chalo atcha hua ki durghatna nahi hui. Aur wo 2 ladke kaun hai kuch khabar lagi beta?", Devaki machhar wali agarbatti ko jalane ke baad aangan me diwar ke kareeb rakhti hui jaise ab apne kamre me he jaane wali thi. Arjun ne dhila pajama pehan liya tha naade wala. Angocha taar par sukhate hue usne apni choti daadi ki baat ka jawaab diya.
"Pariwar toh hamesha he bhale hote hai daadi, jitni mujhe samajh hai. Bas koyi ek aadh nikal he jata hai jo santusht nahi hota. Ab sahi aur galat toh samaajik taraju hai aur us hisaab se toh paribhasha bhi galat. Baaki main nahi jaanta ki wo ladke kaun the. Aap sone ja rahi hai daadi?", Arjun ke aise vichaar sunn kar Devaki ne khushi jaahir ki aur aashirwad deti hui bas itna bol gayi.
"Jug jug jiyo beta. Maine tumhari bua ko bol diya tha ke wo tumhari maalish kar de jaisa Nihaal ne kaha ki tumhare liye jaruri hai. Bhojan ke baad ya pehle ye toh tum apni suvidha se dekh lo. Baaki sabhi kha chuke hai aur bahu ke sath Aanchal uske he kamre me hogi. Nikku aaj din bhar soya nahi hai toh bas jab tak wo soyega nahi, maami bhanji lagi rahengi uske sath.", Bhitar se haweli ke dwar par tala lag chuka tha aur Devaki ke jaate he Arjun bhi apne kamre me chala aaya. Sharir sachmuch dukh raha tha lekin aaj jaise neend aani bhi mushkil thi is haalat me. Reh-reh kar usko yaad aa rahi thi toh Dipa bhabhi ki wo aankhen jinme aansu the. Usne bahot koshish ki thi khud ko rokne ki waisa na karne se lekin us band sadak jaisi raah par rasta bhi koyi aur na tha. Arjun apne khayalo me dooba waisi he haalat me bister ke beech pasra hua tha, paanv bister se latkaye. Jaise jism ke sath mastishk ko araam de raha ho. Jaane kitni he der wo is haalat me raha aur fir aankh khuli bhi toh kisi ke hilane se.
"Kitni der se awaaj laga rahi hu tumhe aur tum toh aise pade ho jaise afeem kha ke aaye ho. Bhookh nahi hai toh kam se doodh he pee lo thoda. Aur maa ne bataya tha tumhari maalish karni hai isliye main aayi thi.", Ye Damini thi jo uski bagal me baithi thi, seene par jhuki hui. Arjun kuch pal bas usko dekhta raha jaise wo abhi bhi samajh na paya ho fir hadbada kar seedha hone laga toh pehle Damini sahi hui.
"Kya time ho gaya bua?", Arjun ko laga tha ke wo shayad ghante se jyada he so gaya hai aur is kamre me toh ghadi bhi nahi thi.
"Tum toh aise pooch rahe ho jaise bahot der se bister pe ho? Main Meena ke sath galiyare ke udhar thi jab tum apne kamre me aaye aur 5 minute baad he main aa gayi. Waise paune 9 ho chuke hai aur maa toh so bhi gayi. Khana lagwau pehle ya fir maalish karu?", Damini ne maalish shabd kehte hue hontho ko thirkan di thi, sachmuch wo adaaon ki dhani kaamuk stree thi. Badan par pehna wo kala gown beshak jheena nahi tha par seene par dabaav banati 2 ubhri hui bindi saaf batati thi ki bhitar sabkuch ajaad hai. Arjun ka yun uske seene ko dekha jana Damini ko gadgad kar gaya.
"Aap maalish ki jehmat kyun leti ho bua, main thik hu. Aur Niketan soya ya nahi?"
"Abhi Anamika usko doodh pila rahi hai aur Aanchal uske kamre me baithi apna pasandida naatak dekh rahi hai. Aur maalish ki bahot jarurat hai tumhe, nahi toh jodd dukhenge subah. Dekha tha maine kitni mehnat kar rahe the waha aur Anamika ko pehle he bata aayi hu ki aadhe paune ghante baad he khana garam kare tumhara. Chalo ab chaati ke bal seedhe leit jao. Main naa nahi sunn na chahti.", Jitne haq aur kashish se Damini ne Arjun se aisa kaha tha wo na chahte hue bhi bister par girta hua palat gaya. Mooh diwar ki taraf kiye aankhe band lekin baahen faila kar lagbhag poora bister ghere hue. Damini uski taraf mudte he bas us jism par fir se haar gayi. Kya koyi yuvak itna aakarshak aur aisi aprakat mardaangi se bharpoor bhi ho sakta hai jiske sammohan me aane par baaki duniya he feeki lage?
'Nahi.', Damini mann he mann apne sawaal ke jawab par budbudayi aur is baar jo muskurahat thi wo bas isko paane ki thi, koyi shadyantra ya khel nahi. Garam karke laya hua jadi-booti wala teil jaise taise usne apni hatheli par giraya aur jab wo Arjun ki itni balisht aur sughad peeth ki taraf badhi toh haatho ki kampann wo khud he dekh pa rahi thi. Uski haalat us patange si thi jo tej agni ki taraf aakarshit toh ho jata hai usko paane ke liye, par ye nahi jaanta ki aage uska jism aur naseeb dono fanaa hone wale hai. Teil ko failate hue Damini meru (reedh) ke dono taraf ke vishal hisso par apne hath fislati toh ye chahat aur bal lene lagti. Bas kshann maatra ke liye uske jehan me jo pehla shakhs aaya tha jiska sukhad ehsaas wo aajtak nahi bhool payi thi apne komarya bhedan aur us yuwak ki taqat evam mardaangi ka toh wo Shankar he tha.
Adhbhut ehsaas tha wo jisme Shankar ne ek jhatke me he uski achhoti yoni ko cheer kar wo jadui darwaja sada ke liye todd diya. Barseem ki hari dheri par jis tarah us din Shankar ne usko bhoga tha, wo dard bhula kar paagalo ki tarah bas uske jism se lipti un naye rango ko dekh rahi thi jo pehle kabhi jiwan me bhare na the. Pathhar sa sakht Shankar aur maansal naram kuwanri Damini. Pehal sansarg jo Shankar ki adhirta aur bin chehra dekhe hua tha. Pata nahi wo kitna samay chala tha lekin jab dono alag hue tab bhi Damini bichadna nahi chahti thi. Bhola Shankar usko sharam ya darr samajh raha tha lekin alag hone par ye bhaav khud uske chehre par the. Damini ne he agar aage badh kar uske honth choomte hue aisa na kaha hota ki 'Kash tum ye pichli garmiyon me he kar lete toh aaj jitna dard na hota'.
"Oh bua 2 minute kharish jaisi maalish karte hue bhi aap thak gayi kya?", Arjun ki awaaj se wo ek jhatke me he ateet ki us yaad ko wahi chhod vartmaan me lauti. Chehre par laali aur dusra hath khudke seene pe tha Damini ka. Arjun ki chaudi peeth abhi bhi aadhi he chikni hui thi teil me.
"Kuch nahi Arjun, wo ye teil kuch der ke liye aise he chhodna padta hai. Ab tum kahoge ki bua ne toh maalish se he maar dala. Dekho mera kamaal.", Damini kisi surat me halki-fulki stree nahi thi. Atchi khuraak aur kad kaathi ke sath sath gaanv ki hawa me pali badhi aur khelne-koodne ke sath aajtak khoob jordar kaam karti aayi thi, Vinod kaha sehan kar paya tha uska bojh aur josh. Ye Arjun tha yaha jo Vinod toh katai na tha aur Shankar ne komarya liya tha toh uski yaad Damini ke zehan me marte dum tak rehne wali thi, nissandeh aajtak wo uski tagat ke aage jhukti aa rahi thi.
"Hahhhhh.. Ab laga ki bua ki aap mere paas ho. Jyada jor mat laga dena fir kahi kal aap chachi ya daadi se maalish karwati dikho. Aapke hath naram hone ke sath thode majboot toh hain. Sachmuch jaise jism se dard gayab hota ja raha hai.", Arjun aankhen moonde tarif karta raha aur Damini uski kamar se le kar kandho tak dono hath poore dabaav se aage le jaati aur waise he wapis niche. Ek taraf se hath thoda dur tak jaane me asmarth laga toh Damini ne sidha na poochte hue Arjun ko he uksaya.
"Arjun, abhi jor lagaya he kaha hai maine aur agar tum himmat rakhte ho ki sehan kar loge toh phir main khul kar apna maalish ka hunar dikhati hu. Bardasht kar sakte ho mera bojh?", Ab Damini ki mansha toh Arjun se chhipi na thi lekin agar wo utsahit thi toh usne bhi toka nahi. Balki ek kadam aage he raha wo Damini ki soch se.
"Bua aapme bojh he kitna hai jo mujhe pareshani hogi. Bas thakk matt jana kahi fir bimaag ho jao. Aur ho sake toh ye light bujha do, aankhon me jalan hoti hai jab baaki jism me araam milta ho. Lamp mere hath ke paas hai toh main he jala deta hu.", Arjun ne padhne ke liye bister kinare rakha lamp chalu kar diya jo uski pahuch me he tha, 60 watt ka bulb bhi tej tha par uska gheraav simit aur usko bhi diwar ki taraf ghuma kar Arjun ne kamre me maalish ki jagah thoda uttejjak mahol bana diya. Dikh sabkuch saaf raha tha, par andhkaar ke adhik prabhaav me. Damini ki toh jaise mann ki muraad he poori ho gayi thi is band kamre me jaha wo Arjun ke kareeb thi aur ye naam matra roshni.
"Soch lo phir matt kehna ke bua ne bojh se daba kar kamar me chanak daal di?", Arjun ko dusri taraf mooh kiye aankhe moonde pa kar Damini ne aage badhne se pehle apne gown ka upar button khol liya. Wo toh nischint kar chuki thi ki aaj Arjun ko chahe adhura he sahi lekin bhari poori aurat ki garmi ka ehsaas jarur karwa ke rahegi.
"Jaise aapka dil kare waisa karo bua. Koyi rok tok nahi aur rahi baat bojh ki toh main pehle he keh chuka hu mere liye toh aap bhi sabke jaisi he ho. Itna wajan toh main poora din jism pe liye reh sakta hu. Bas araam mil jaaye jaisa aap abhi dila rahi thi.",Arjun ki swikriti milte he Damini ne dono taraf sa apna choga thoda upar utha kar paanv uski kamar ke dono taraf kar liye bister par chadhte he. Is unchaai se wo atche se dekh pa rahi thi andhere me chamakte us balisht jism ko jo ab uske niche he tha aur jald he poori tarah bas me bhi. Savdhani se Damini ghutne modne ke baad unhe bister par tikati hui thik Arjun ke kulho par kulhe tikaye thi. Arjun mann he mann muskura raha tha apni is bua ki khushi par. Usko bhi ehsaas ho chuka tha rubber se naram aur kahi jyada he failaav liye hue bade nitambo ka jo ab uske jism par virajmaan the. Damini ne dono hath fir se us khaas teil me chupad kar aage jhukte hue poori taraf kaamuk andaaj me sharir ka pradarshan karte hue pehle wala karya jaari kiya. 30-32 ki kamar wala Arjun seene ki taraf se 46 se kam na tha. Is mudra me toh peeth kahi jyada he failaav liye kisi bargad ke virksh samaan faili hui.
"Aahhh.. Sachmuch aap mahir ho bua.. Lagta nahi ki itne komal hatho me jadoo ke sath taqat bhi hogi. Bahot atcha lagta hai jab aap kandhe tak hath le jaati ho. Kassi chala chala kar yahi sabse jyada dukh rahe hai.", Arjun jaise usko aur jyada mauka de raha tha apni peeth par girne ka. Patle pajame ke upar se he wo ye bhi samajh chuka tha ki Damini ka gown ke bhitar kya haal hai. Bhaap sa garam seka chhodti uski mulayam ubhri hui choot poora dabaav banati jab Damini aage ko jhukti hui apna jism Arjun ki peeth ki taraf badhati. Bhari chuche bhi latakne ki wajah se nipple ke sath thoda naram hissa kandho par ragad dete. Damini kamjor nahi thi, kisi bhi surat me aam mahila se jyada taqatvar. Lekin Arjun ko utsahit karne ke chakkar me wo khud he garam hone lagi. Har baar yoni ka failna sikudna, har baar chucho par Arjun ki thos peeth ki ragad aur unme badhti sakhti. Kisi bahri nashe me mastaayi Damini har gujarte pal ke sath jyada josh se ye peeth maalish ka upkram badhati rahi. Kamar, peeth, kandhe aur kuch had tak Arjun ki gardan aur baahon ke jodd tak wo thakaan ko choos chuki thi. Uski haalat se anjaan Arjun pichle 10 minute se bas apne he khas sapne me khoya muskura raha tha aur us muskurahat ko dekha Damini ne jab wo kandhe tak hath le aayi. Maddim roshni me bhi damakta aadha chehra aur wo dhanushakar muskaan.
'Farebi hai pakka ye ladka. Kaise maje loot raha hai mere badan ke aur dhitaai se khush ho raha sone ka naatak karta hua.', Damini budbudati hui kab wahi pasar gayi usko he hosh na raha. Kharbuje apna akaar badal kar Arjun ki peeth par dabaav bana rahe the. Aur us par leti Damini maalish bhool kar bas uske chehre ko dekh kar aur jyada garam. Chehra Arjun ke gaal tak jhuk gaya aur uski garam saansein atche se Arjun ki saanson se milne lagi. Arjun ki palke khulne lagi toh Damini ne anjaane me he uske kandho ko poori taqat se daba diya uthne ki hadbadahat me.
"Aahhhh.. Ye kaha se sikha bua? Bilkul sahi jagah se dabaya aapne toh. Ab bas kijiye, nahi toh main so he jaunga is maje me.", Damini jaldi he bahar se sambhal kar wahi hath peeth par dabati kamar tak le aayi.
"Abhi toh seene aur paanv ki bhi baaki hai pyaare. Lagta hai tum bojh uthane ka bahana bana ke bach rahe ho.", Wo nahi jaanti thi ki us se bhari galti hone wali hai aisa karne par. Lekin Arjun jaise us khawaab ki chahat me Damini ki ye baat bhi maan gaya.
"Sidha hone do bua aur jab thak jao tab jaga dena mujhe. Main so nahi raha bas araam kar raha hu.", Arjun ke kehne par Damini ek paanv utha kar utari toh wo bister par seedha pasar gaya. Lekin is baar Arjun ne apne chehre ko kareeb rakhi tshirt se dhak liya jaise wo vyavdhan na chahta ho kisi bhi tarah ka apne antrang khayalo me. Is baar Damini jarur jhijhak rahi thi uske seene ki maalish se. Lekin samay nikal raha tha aur jaise Arjun abhi utna vash me na hua hoga jitna wo usko karna chahti thi. Damini ka khayaal tha ki wo Arjun ko apne jism ke jaal me aisa faans le ki wo khud uske paas aaye aur bhula de un rishto ko jo band kamre se bahar sabhi jaante hai. Damini is baar Arjun ke ling se kuch niche, uski sakht jaangho par apna wajan dhyaan se daalte hue baithi aur hatheliyon ko tyaar karne ke baad badi ehtiyaat se Arjun ke sakht seene ko sehlati hui maalish karne lagi. Damini is hisse par jor ki jagah sparsh aur anubhav ka pradarshan kar rahi thi. Abhi usko ye aakarshak seena aur pasliyan malte hue 5 he minute gujre the ki Aanchal ne uske josh ko hawa karte hue awaaj di.
"Arjun, tum so gaye? Darwaja kholo, maami khana tayaar kar rahi hai.", Aanchal ki awaaj par Arjun ke toh jism me koyi harkat he na hui jabki Damini turant kisi vidaal ki si furti se bister se niche utar kar katori liye darwaje ki taraf lapki. Aaj agar yahi kaam kisi baharwale ne kiya hota toh shayad wo hadd se gujar jaati. Darwaja khulne par saamne apni maa ko dekh kar Aanchal bhi hairaan reh gayi.
"Shor kyun macha rahi hai tu? Wo thaka hara akhaade se aaya tha aur neend me hai. Maa ne kaha tha ke uski maalish kar dena aur araam karne dena.", Itni safaai toh Aanchal ne maangi bhi na thi aur wo apni maa ke jism ka kuch khula bhaag dekh kar bedhadak kamre me dakhil ho gayi. Arjun toh mooh par takiya rakhe apne he meethe sapno me khoya tha jaise usko aaj duniya se kuch lena dena he na tha.
"Jab sharir se itni mehnat hui ho toh khali peit nahi sona chahiye. Arjun ne dopehar se he kuch nahi khaya hai aur maalish toh ho chuki hai jitna mujhe dikh raha hai. Aap apne hath saaf kar lijiye, main isko utha deti hu.", Aanchal ke itni himmat dekh Damini aage kuch bol na saki par wo samajh gayi thi ki uski beti ko khatka toh ho he gaya hai jaise wo uske seene ko ghoor rahi thi.
"Haan ja rahi nahane, garmi waise he bahot hai iske kamre me. Bol dena ki khaane ke baad wapis so jaaye.", Light ab jal rahi thi aur Aanchal ne chehre se tshirt hatane ke baad Arjun ko hilaya toh wo kunmunata hua aise utha jaise savera ho gaya. Saamne Aanchal ko khada dekh bas muskura diya.
"Kitna badhiya sapna tha didi aur aapne beech me he utha diya. Kya time ho gaya? Aur kamre me toh bua thi na?", Arjun badan ko angdaai ke anusaar kholta hua baith gaya. Tshirt barabar me rakhi thi jo apne upari nirvastra bhaag dekh usne turant pehani. Aanchal bas hans rahi thi uske sawalo par.
"Jyada he thak gaye the aaj tum jo aise he so gaye. Maami ne kaha hai ki tumhe utha du, fir khaane ka time nahi rehne wala. 10 bajne wale hai aur chalo mooh hath dho ke chachi wale kamre me he aa jao. Badi atchi film aa rahi hai tv par aur udhar AC bhi chal raha hai.", Aanchal ki baat sunn kar Arjun kamre me bane snaanghar he chal diya chehra dhone. Mann bahot halka tha jaise wo abhi swarg ghoom aaya ho. Aanchal usko le kar he bahar nikli, light pankha band karne ke baad.

"Flight ke time pahuch jayenge Sanjiv aur Radhika?", Shankar khaane se faarig hone ke baad bas kuch he waqt apne pita ke pas baitha tha aur Narinder ke ghar pe pravesh karte he wo usko sath liye chhat par tehalne laga. Din vyast raha tha dono he bhaiyon ka aur Umed bhi apne vyapaar ki wajah se Purnima ji ko haweli chhod kar ja chuka tha. Narinder ke itne jaldi lautne par sabse pehla sawaal Shankar ne yahi poocha.
"Main unhe toh bas Arore ke ghar tak chhodne gaya tha. Sanjiv usko kuch kaam saunp ke car se he nikla hai bahu ke sath. Ab unke safar me main kyun roda banu? Tu suna aaj ka din kaisa raha?", Narinder ki baat sahi lagi thi Shankar ko aur wo diwar ki munder par hath tikaye gali ke roshan gharo ki taraf dekh raha tha.
"Filhaal toh lag raha hai ki sabkuch thik hai par jab jab aisa lagta hai kisi na kisi ki maa apne aap chudwane aa jati hai. Pratap, wo agle sector wala apna doctor dost. Shaam ko bata raha tha ke Rajasthan sarhad pe jis jameen par wo hospital banane me laga tha, us par stay lag gaya hai. Sarkari aadesh nahi hai lekin rukwane wala aadmi vibhaag se he hai.", Shankar ko itna gambhir dekh Narinder samajh gaya ki is kisse me bhi uska bhai kahi na khi shamil hai.
"Aur iski wajah hogi teri uske sath gehri dosti aur vyapaar me hissedari?", Shankar ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Shalu (Shalini) ke chacha sasur se baat ki thi maine Gajju se number le kar. Unhone bataya ki highway paas hone ki wajah se keemat aasman jaane lagi hai udhar aur bade bade karobari aane lage hai jameen dekhne. Pratap wali jameen hai naye nakshe me sabse aage hai aur kone ka 4 ekad bhukhand hai. Jo naye rule ke hisaab se 70-30 rakhna hoga. Stay lagane wala local bhi hai aur vibhaag me uncha bhi. Pratap se 25 crore ki demand ki hai ya fir dhancha aise he khada rahega aur ijajat nahi milegi. Jaanta hai Inder sirf aise he dalle logo ki wajah se mujhe prashashan aur uske niyamo par gussa aata hai. Pratap ne sabkuch udhar laga rakha hai aur loan pe kaam shuru hua tha mujhse 5 lene ke baad. Dikkat nahi thi ab tak koyi lekin ab wo aadmi sadak pe aa jayega aise parajiviyon ki wajah se.", Narinder jaanta tha ki Shankar dosto ka dost hai jo unke liye kisi hadd tak gujar sakta hai. Wahi Pratap bhi ek sajjan vyakti tha swabhiman se bhara. Shankar se wo paise lene nahi wala tha hissedari se upar.
"Papa se yahi baat kar raha tha tu niche?"
"Hmmm.. Batana toh jaruri hai ki waha aisa ho raha hai. Main kahi kuch kar du toh baat un par pehle aayegi. Lekin unhone toh mujhe Delhi par karne se he mana kar diya us taraf jana toh dur. Bol rahe the ki ya toh dosti nibha lo ya apne baap ko uski jooti par gira do jiske mooh par unhone jooti maar ke bedakhal kiya tha. Ab toh baat aisi ho jaayegi ki agar kisi se us ko samjhane ke liye bhi kahunga toh baat mujhpe he aani hai. Pratap ka sabkuch daav pe hai yar Inder."
"Maa ko pranaam karu main us dalle ki. Tu chinta na kar Shankar, iska bhi hal hai apne paas. Tu is aadmi ki detail le doctor se aur Bhalle ko bhijwa. Wo Delhi baith ke he ye kaam kar dega jitna mujhe uska rasookh pata chala.", Inder ki baat par Shankar sehmat nahi tha jaise.
"Uski sewa kyun leni bhai jab apne paas jugaad hai. Aur wo toh khud apna ehsaanmand hai."
"Ab ehsaan ko uske dil me rehne de Shankar aur ye samajh ki wo ab partner hai hamara. Uska londa Rajasthan ke boarding me kyun padhta hai jaanta hai? Aur uska apharan apne pradesh me kyun hua? Umed ne kyun Bhalla ko itni tavajjo di aur itne bade bade kaam karne par bhi mooh nahi khola balki usko mureed banaya. Gajendra Bhalla waha rasookh rakhta hai aur agar us taraf koyi hai jo uski takkar ka hai toh wo Ramakaant Tehsildar. Dono ek dusre ko pasand nahi karte par Bhalla ki jooti kuch maamlo me us se upar hai aur dono ka support ek he party ko hai. Filhal wahi party idhar hai aur Delhi me toh usko kuch farak he nahi padta jab uska he naam ek jalwa ho. Bhalla toh khus ho jaayega Shankar ki tune usko kuch kaam diya. Wo rehta beshak Umed ke ya mere sath hai par juda tere sath hai dil se.", Narinder ka itna bharosa dekh Shankar kuch shaant hua kyonki Gajendra Bhalla ne sachmuch Shankar ko dharam bhai banaya tha, vidhi se. Aur kehne maatra se wo 2-2 bar idhar aaya tha shadi se pehle bhi aur shaadi me bhi, pariwar samet.
"Aur ye sach hai ki uska utna rasookh hai us registaan me?"
"Tabadala karwane ke baad bhi wo maafi mangwaye bina toh us aadmi ko jaane nahi dega. Baaki hisab uska bhi tere jaisa hai lekin wo khud nahi maarta kisi ko, uske aadmi laash pehchan ne laayak nahi chhodte bas ishara karne ki der hai. Raat ko waise bhi aajkal wo time se ghar aane laga hai. 10 bajne wale hai toh abhi khana kha raha hoga. Niche chalenge na sone toh kar liyo phone. Subah bol diyo Pratap ko good morning. Jo sacha insaan hai na Shankar, uska koyi 4 aana nahi chheen sakta. Aur jisne paap se lanka bhi basa li ho toh wo bhi deh jaati hai. Pratap saaf insan hai aur teri niyat bhi. Aur ye sab chhod munna laal ki khabar li kya papa se?", Narinder ne baat Arjun ke mudde par ghuma di thi aur Shanakr jaise baaki sab bhool gaya.
"Maa aaj poora din khush hai aur abhi sone lagi thi tab bhi bas uska he jaap karne me lagi thi. Yaad hai Inder is se pehle maa kab itna khush dikhi thi?", Shankar ke jawaab bhi itihaas samete rehte the aur Narinder jaise jawaab jaanta tha kyunki itihaas bahot baat yaad karwaya tha Shankar ne usko.
"Jab Naitik ko goad me uthaya tha maa ne, jab Arjun ka naamkaran wala din tha aur jab papa retire hue. Wo un 3 din kisi ko bolne he kaha de rahi thi. Sanjiv ki shaadi me toh fir bhi wo yaadon me uljhi thi khushi ke sath. Sanjiv jab paida hone wala tha tabhi humne thode se time me poora naksha badal kar rakh diya. Uski khushi manati ya itna kuch khone ka dukh.? Atcha hai ke maa aaj sara din khush rahi aur isme papa ka bhi poora hath hai jinhone bas baat khushi wali he unhe bataai.", Narinder ne sab ginwa diya tha is jawaab me siwaye aakhir me baat adhuri chhodte hue.
"Kuch aur bhi hua kya aaj? Aur tu bhi mujhe batane wala tha Bharat bhai ke sath mulakaat ke baare me aur Arjun ki nigrani kaise kar raha hai?", Shankar itna toh samajhta tha ke uska bhai vyast jiwan tabhi rakhta hai jab wo sachmuch kaam par ho. Aaj wo Sanjiv ko chhodne ke baad bhi itna samay bahar laga kar aaya tha.
"Bharat dilchasp aadmi hai lekin mujhe itni dilchaspi ki aadat nahi hai Shankar. Lekin network toh tagda he hoga jitna maine usko samjha. Mere saamne bhi 8-9 mukhbir aaye aur gaye uske paas. Koyi chai dene, koyi purana akhbar toh kuch tasvire. Jadd se judd kar kaam karne wala insaan hai aur tajurba bhi hoga jab Satish uncle se thoda he chota hai. Waise Arjun miya ne udhar karnama kar dikhaya wo bhi ummeed se pare.", Shankar ne haan me sar hila kar jaise pushti ki is baat ki.
"Suchh Singh uncle ka phone aaya tha jinhone pehle maa se baat ki aur fir papa ne band kamre me. Lambi baatchit hui thi unki par chehre se toh wo bhi khush he dikhe. Baaki bapu ko toh umar nikal gayi tab bhi samajh nahi paaye. Hanste hanste he kab bund laal kar dete the pata he ni chalta tha. Hahaha.. Waise tujhe kya bataya tere bande ne?"
"Kaisa banda be Shankar? Tu sahi keh raha tha ke wo jarurat se jyada chaukas insaan hai. Jugraaj se baat kar raha tha ek ghante se aur wo bhi pehle Arjun gungaan karta raha aur aakhir me mudde ki baat bataai wo bhi aise jaise kisi aur ko pata na chale. Arjun ne majaak majaak me Kamlesh aur uske 4 sathi kuch samay ke liye ghar me baitha diye aaj shaam ko. Keh raha tha ke waha baithe the unko he nahi pata laga ke ladka kya kar gaya toh saamne walo par toh gujri thi. 2 ke kandhe utaar diye pasliya sujane ke sath aur 2 ke takhne, kamar ki hansli hila di. Kamlesh toh thodi der pehle tak bhi seena pakad ke baitha ro raha tha. Khoon bahot nikla uska mooh se. Aur ye hua waha halke fulke mukable me.", Narinder ne baat aage badhane se pehle Shankar ka rukh dekhna chaha ke wo is baat ko kaise le raha hai.
"Aur bas itne he the? Lekin usne aise kyun mara jab khel majaak wala tha? Dimaag toh nahi hil gaya is ladke ka apne bade bhai aur chacha ki umar ke bande koot diye sabke saamne?", Shankar gussa nahi tha bas chintit tha. Baat unke pita tak ja he chuki thi toh wo kya kehta.
"Jugraaj ne bataya ke Kewal Singh ne usko pehle he bata diya tha ke Kamlesh kuch bada karne wala hai isliye usne he apne is bhai ko bulwaya tha maidaan me. Aur Arjun dopehar se he is sarpanch ke sath tha. Akhaade me Kamlesh ne humla karwaya Dilbaag se, wahi apne ghar se pehle jo rehta hai. Ford wala Dilbag, kya naam tha uske pita ka?", Shankar ko sawalo me uljha kar wo gussa rok raha tha uska kyonki humla aur yojna sunte he Shankar ke dhile nutt khul he jaate the.
"Gurjant Singh, chacha amli. Lekin wo himmat nahi kar sakta apne ladke pe hath daalne ki. Papa ko wo pasand tha kabhi aur wo aate jaate uske khet pe milte bhi the. Ye Kamlesh kaha hai? Kuch khabar di Jugraaj ne?"
"Rehne de is baat me na he padd Shankar. Dilbag ka sach Arjun jaan gaya tha isliye usne usko sirf jameen par giraya. Waise Juggi ye bhi keh raha tha ke Arjun ke aaspas aur log na hote toh wo shayad maar he deta ek aadhe ko. Par ladke ne samajhdari se kaam liya aur Dilbag ko saja sunai khet pe najarband rehne ki aur sarpanch ne kal Kamlesh ko panchayat me gaanv nikala dene ke sath sath 307 ka parcha bhi dalwa diya hai jaisa ghar jaane ke baad sarpanch ne Jugraaj ko bataya. Lala ji bhi fainsle me the aur is ghatna ke waqt bhi Arjun ke pas rahe. Shahid dhyaan rakh raha hai Dilbag ka jaisa Arjun chahta hai lekin wo kis jugat me hai ye nahi samajh aayi. Kamlesh ko toh pehle bhi ek baar Kewal ne jhada tha aur papa se bhi shikayat ki thi. Papa ne toh pehli galti bol kar chhod diya par ab sidha 307 ka parcha?"
"Wo toh chal jaan se maare ke pryaas me karwa diya hoga par Arjun ne Dilbag ko saja sunaai? Ye baat hui aur tu keh raha hai waha Juggi, Lala ji aur Succha Singh ji tak the. Kewal bhi bina panchayat rakhe paksh nahi rakhta aur us se pehle daar ji aur ke sath ye lala ji aur apne maulvi ji vichar karte hai. Krishan chacha dakhal nahi rakhte par papa yaha se sandesh de dete hai unhe agar aisi koyi baat ho. Par 8 baje se abhi tak toh main he unke sath tha. Suchha Singh ji ka bhi phone 9 ke baad he aaya. Hum bahar bahar se najar bhi nahi rakh pa rahe ho aur udhar andar alag khichdi pak rahi hai. Papa bas jaankari le rahe hai. Arjun saja nahi de sakta Inder kisi ko bhi", Shankar ki toh ghadi yahi atak gayi thi. Usko matlab he nahi tha ke haadsa hua, Arjun ne itno ko dhila kar diya lekin matlab tha toh bas is baat se ki wo Dilbag ko itne pratinidhiyon ke beech saja dene wala kaun ho gaya. Uske pita bhi apna paksh dete toh aise maamlo me subah hone wali panchayat par chote bhai ya gram-pratinidiyon me se kisi ko se kehalwate.
"Usne aise he chunoti nahi uthai be Shankar. Wo dada ki jooti pehan ke chaupal pe gaya tha. Pehle din subah usne ek fainsla liya aur shaam ko ek saja suna di, wo bhi aise jaise Dilbag ke jariye wo kuch aur dhoond raha ho. Mauke par saja dene ka haq sirf dada ji ko tha Shankar gaanv ke aapsi masle me. Ab Arjun wo haq le chuka hai jiska matlab hai ki Jugraaj bhi humko sirf jaankari de sakta hai ki kya hua par Arjun par najar rakhne ki jarurat wo nahi karega. Vada khilafi hogi ye aur aisa sirf 2 logo ki sehmati se ho sakta hai, Papa aur raani maa. Lekin ek taraf papa uske chunoti wale maamle par ukhde hue hai aur dusri taraf unhone itna bada fainsla uske paksh me jaane diya. Ho sakta hai ki isme rani maa ka prabhav ho lekin wo 18 ka he hai Shankar aur itni badi jimmewari?", Narinder ke antarmann ko Shankar he samajh sakta tha aur aise samay par wo aksar thoda bada bhai jisa vyavahar bhi karta tha.
"Jitna main jaanta hu Inder, gram-sampatti sirf yahi 2 log nahi paarit kar sakte. Haan adhikar papa ke paas bhi hai aur mohar mehal se he lagi hogi. Isme chote dada, Raghuvir chacha aur Rekha ki sehmati rehni jaruri hai. Rekha ko maa ki jagah shamil kiya gaya tha aur Raghuvir chacha ko gujre hone wale hai 5 baras se jyada. Aur usme bhi unke aahiri kuch baras ekakipan wale rahe hai. Fainsla toh matlab bahot pehle he kar liya gaya tha. Aur ek baat samajh nahi aa rahi ki ye hua so hua lekin Rekha ko haqdar kaise bani.? Main toh us dauraan idhar rehta he nahi tha aur mujhe toh iske baare me yahi thodi jaankari jab Arjun ke naam kheti wali jameen transfer karwayi gayi thi tabhi pata chala.", Shankar naya sawaal khoj laya tha itne bade mudde ko darkinar karta.
"Teri wajah se ghanchakkar. Tu aur rakh le taai ki haweli par sharte maa ke saamne. Maa ne toh tabhi thaan liya tha ke wo hamari jagah bahuon ko baaki ke haq dengi lekin Rekha bhabhi ko unhone chote chacha ke yaha he apna daiytva saunp diya tha. Panjikaran bhi khud papa ne karwaya tha mere sath ja kar. Matlab Rekha bhabhi ko bhi maloom hai ki Arjun uttradikari banaya gaya hai? Unke bina bhi toh sambhav nahi jaisa tu keh raha hai."
"Bahar he reh is sab se Inder nahi toh thanedar ke chakkar me padd gaye toh jaane is baar kaunsi saja milegi. Maa ne toh tagdi chot maari hai us samjhaute me meri shart ke badle. Aur Rekha toh meri samajh se he pare hai fir maa ko jaane kaise samajh aa jaati hai. Ghar ka he toh khayaal rakhti hai wo bhi bhabhi aur Krishna ke sath mil kar. Betiyan sath deti hai so alag."
"Tu rahega ling ka ling. Gotte wali jaga dimaag fit na hai tera. Ghar ko ghar banaye rakhna he toh sabse badi chunoti hai. Jaanta bhi hai ki bache kab padh gaye aur itne bade bade vishaye me aajtak unhe tution tak ki jarurat na padi. Sanjiv toh sabse bada udaharan hai iska tere samne. Fir ye kyun bhool jata hai ki bhabhi ki sehanshakti maa se bhi kahi jyada hai? Ritu ke samay bhi goli chali thi, Arjun goad me tha tab bhi waisa he hua par himmat dikha kar na sirf bete ko balki hamari maa ko bachaya tha bhabhi ne. Aurat ho kar bhi hamlavar ka saamna karne wali us naari ki kshamta tujhe nahi dikh rahi jabki ek bar goli tere saamne he un par chali aur hath bhi aisa kata ki atcha khasa mard behosh ho jaaye ya fir jyada bura bhi ho sakta tha. Bhai tujhme bas ek yahi choti si kami hai ki tu bahar ki duniya bahot behtar jaanta hai lekin ek andruni jiwan ki mehta tujhe aajtak pata nahi chali. Koyi aur hoti toh rishtey se inkaar kar deti aur byaah bhi ho jata toh ek din baat he apne ghar baith jaati.", Narinder jaise bahaav ke sath kuch jyada he Shankar ko jhanjhod gaya.
"Pyaar ke saamne kisi se tulna kaise ki ja sakti hai yar? Mujhe toh is sabki chahat he nahi thi kabhi aur tere saamne hai ki pyaar ki wajah se main taraju ke 2 alag alag paldo me akela he santulan banaye jee raha hu. Rekha atchi hai aur ek badhia maa bhi lekin na toh hamari maa ko kabhi ishq hu, na baap ko aur na he Rekha ko toh ye log kaha samjhenge pyaar ki ehamiyat? Rishto ki shayad jyada samajh rakhte honge aur samaaj ki par 2 dilo ke beech wale us pyaar ka kya jiske saamne poori duniya bhi haar jaane ka dukh nahi aur wo hansil na ho toh poori duniya bhi bharpaayi na kar sakti."
"Sahi kehta hai bhai tu. Wo 3-3 bache toh hawa me udd kar aa gaye the jaise purane samay ki kahaniyan batati hai. Bacha manga aur ja beti tujh par kripa hui. Chal be tu niche he chal pata nahi aaj ye ishq ki hariyali kaha dekh ke aaya hai jo maa baapu ko tu ishq ka dushman bata raha. Waise Vishnu ki bhi jaanch me laga diya maine Bharat bhai ko.", Aur Inder ne turant he Shankar ka dimag nayi jagah ghuma diya. Aise he wo uljhaye rakhta tha Shankar ko apne tikdam me jis se wo jald he usme shamil ho jata tha. Dono seedhiyan utar kar niche sone chal diye kyonki 11 baj chuke the. Rekha ke kamre ko chhod baki har kamre me zero bulb he jal rahe the ya wo bhi nahi.
"Notes ke liye bol dena apne papa ko beta. Tumhari Ruchi bua bata rahi thi ki is university ke kuch purane paper aur kitabe unke yaha padi hai. Aise toh ye poori 8 kitabe khatam karne me 2 mahine lagenge aur notes bhi barabar nahi tayaar hone wale.", Rekha tek lagaye apni beti ko dekh rahi jo barabar baithi hui pichle 4 ghante se bas padhne me he juti thi. Alka ne he usko yaha khana laa ke diye tha aur ab sone jaane se pehle coffee bhi.
"Ek sample paper toh hai he na maa. Us se he match karte topics padh rahi hu aur medical chahe yaha ko ho yahi kahi aur ka, system aur subjects toh wahi rehte hai na maa?"
"Phir tu yahi se kyun nahi padhai poori kar leti agar sabkuch same hai? Farak kahi jyada hai aur waha ka eduction model bhi. Chal ab ye kitaabe ek taraf rakh aur araam kar le. Waise toh 30 minute ke baad 10 minute ka break le lena chahiye lekin tujhe pehle se aadat hai isliye maine nahi toka. Lekin sava 11 ho chuke hai aur 4 baje ka alarm set hai.", Sone ki baat sunn kar Ritu ne turant he sab samaan samet kar saamne table par rakh diya. Uski furti dekh Rekha bhi kuch shankit thi ke ye ekdum se isko kya hua lekin jaise he Ritu ne zero ka bulb jalane ke baad bister par paanv ki taraf rakhi chaadar upar lene ka upkram kiya toh Rekha ji samajh gayi apni is gudiya ki jaldbaaji.
"Tujhe apne pas sulana mujhe toh bhari nahi padne wala na beta?"
"Halka padega maa, likhwa lo. Aur mujhe bhi is se atchi neend kahi nahi aati.", Unke hath se duri rakhte hue Ritu simat kar andar he dubak gayi. Bahar bas halki si awaaj aayi toh wo chain khulne ki thi.
"Sharam kar beta tu 20 ki hone wali hai 2 mahine baad. Agar ye kisi ne dekh liya na toh meri problem toh unhe samajh aa jaayegi lekin tere paas jawaab nahi hone wala.", Rekha ji usko samjha rahi thi aur Ritu ne toh andar he unke upari vaksh ko anavrit kar liya tha jarurat anusaar.
"Bol dena paida hone par toh piya nahi tha, ab kasar poori ho rahi hai. Komal didi aur Aaru dekho kitne hatte katte hai lekin main toh dubli hu unke saamne. Ab sone do na maa?", Matlab sone se saaf tha peene do na maa. Aur Rekha ji jawaab deti us se pehle he wo chaadar ke bhitar he apne honth jod chuki thi. Aisa kuch samay ke antraal baad ho raha tha toh jo mauli rukawat ubhri thi dugdh-chhidra par usko Ritu ne jor se daba kar khinchte hue hataya toh Rekha ji ki halki si cheekh nikal gayi.
"Oh.. beta tu sachmuch waisi ki waisi hai. Tab doodh kam banta tha toh khoon nikaal deti thi aur ab bhi hathh waisa he hai tera.. Aaru se baat hui teri?", Rekha ji ne pyaar se uska sar sehlate hue poocha jabki jawaab me Ritu ne bhitar he sar hilane ke sath unki kamar me hath dal liya.
"Wo thik hai na? Meri toh bas subah he ek minute ke liye baat hui thi. Lekin wo tujhse jaroor poochta hoga mere aur Komal ke baare me.", Ritu ne bas aakhiri baar ye jawaab diya wo bhi purane andaaj me he. Aur Rekha ji ke aakhir sawal se pehle he dher ho chuki thi.
'Galti ho gayi isko bula kar. Mushkil se band kiya tha aur ab fir haalat pehle jaisi. Poora khatam karna meri gudiya.. araam se..', Sar ko thapkati hui wo apne aap se he baat kar rahi thi. Vicharo me apne bache he the aur anyaas he dhyaan jab Arjun aur Ritu par kendrit hua toh sar ko jhatak kar aankhen band he kar li. Kaha toh wo soch rahi thi ki kuch samay pehle us raat dono bhai behan apni maa ki agal bagal yahi sukh le rahe the jisme Ritu ne Arjun ke sote he uski taraf bhi kabja jama kar usko pare dhakel diya tha. Aur fir dhyaan aaya unke beech pyaar ka wo ankaha pehlu jiske liye unki saas tak jhalki de gayi thi. Bache itne pyare the aur maa ke kareeb bhi lekin inki kismat me ye kaisa rishta likha hai jiska naam jubaan par aana he gunaah hai? Rekha ko bas yaad raha toh apne bete ka wo chehre jisme khud wo thi. Aur ye sach toh us rishtey se bhi bhari tha jis par wo chintit thi. Soch ko purnviraam dete hue Rekha ne apni beti ko aagoseh me lene ka he fainsla kiya. Samay aane par ghar ke bade he fainsla lenge, wo bas ek baat dhyaan rakhegi ki pariwar tootne na paaye..

.
Vinod ke kamre me is waqt zero ki neeli roshni ke sath television ka atirikt prakash vyapt tha. Arjun ko jyada bhookh na hone ke bawjood apni chachi dwara khaas uske liye banaya bhojan itna pasand aaya tha ki wo Aanchal aur unke sath batchit karte hue poora khana khatam karke he hata. Samay thoda jyada laga tha batchit aur film ki charcha ke beech. Niketan bhi AC ki thandi hawa me is waqt chain se so raha tha bister ke thik beech.
"Aanchal, raat jyada ho chuki hai beti. Apne kamre me chalo, film toh ek khatam hogi toh dusri shuru.", Damini pichle dedh ghante se apne kamre me akeli thi jo ab uth kar idhar aayi toh Arjun bhi apne raat ke sone wale kapde pehan kar kamre me aa chuka tha. Aanchal aur Arjun 3 gaddi wale sofe par baithe the aur Aanchal apne jiwan ka he koyi kissa film me chal rahe majaak se jodd kar suna rahi thi. Inke hansne par tatkaal rok lagi Damini ke aane par.
"Bas uth rahi hu maa, tum chalo kamre me. Waise bhi din bhar sona he hota hai. Lekin aaj aap kyun nahi soyi abhi tak?", Aanchal ke aise sawaal par pehle se he ukhdi hui Damini apna aapa he kho baithi.
"Tumhari ye mehfile aur television ke shor ke beech behra bhi nahi so sakta. Maa ka kamra dur hai aur waha cooler hai isliye unhe awaaj nahi aati. Main bagal wala kamra chhod kar he rehti hu, jyada dur nahi. Utho abhi aur chalo sone. Arjun tumhe bhi toh jaldi uthna hoga? Anamika, tum toh badi ho...", Damini ka lehja dekh Aanchal kuch bolne he lagi thi ki Arjun ne uska hath daba diya.
"Sorry bua hamari wajah se aapko pareshani hui. Didi, bua ki baat sahi hai. Hum toh yahi hai, kal din me baith jaayenge. Aap jao aur bua ko bhi akele neend nahi aa rahi hogi.", Anamika bhi kshama maangne ke baad television band karke bhitar wale snaanghar me chali gayi. Ab Damini ko apni he harkat buri lag rahi thi jab 2-2 log maafi maang rahe the us dhimi awaaj ke liye jo kamre me bhi sahi se nahi suni ja rahi thi aur uski khudki beti narajgi se paanv patak kar uske saamne se he nikalti hui us kamre me chali gayi jaha usne sona tha. Arjun wapis us gaddi wale sofe par baitha toh Damini ne thodi tameej se poocha is baar.
"Tum abhi yahi baithne wale ho? Maalish ke samay toh tumhe neend aa rahi thi."
"Haan bua neend toh abhi bhi aa rahi hai lekin khana deri se khaya hai na toh bister pe jaane ka mood nahi. Aap so jaiyen, 11 baj chuke hai. Subah koyi nahi bhi uthayega toh 5-6 baje tak aankh shor se khul he jaati hai.", Arjun ne sofe par he chaukdi laga li thi. Damini aage kuch na kehti hui niraash ho kar bahar se shubhkamnaye deti chali gayi. Arjun ne uth kar darwaja lagaya aur sofe pe fir se pasar gaya. Wo apne sapne ke baare me he soch raha tha jo bilkul vastavik sa tha aur dil ko adhbhut sukh deta. Anamika jab snaanghar se kapde badal kar gown pehne bahar aayi toh Arjun ko chatt ki taraf najre jamaye muskurate dekh pehle hairaan hui fir uske sar pe halki chapat laga kar bolne lagi.
"Mungerilal ji, khuli aankhon se he sapne dekh rahe ho wo bhi si chote se sofe par let kar.? Udhar poora bister saamne khali pada hai aur tum idhar sikud kar lete ho. Chalo utho.", Arjun sharmata hua utha jaise uski chori saaf pakdi gayi ho aur fir chachi ka gulabi geela chehra aur waisa he gown dekh tarif se muskuraya.
"Main soch raha tha ke ya toh idhar he manji daal lu aangan se la kar nahi toh apne kamre me chala jau.", Arjun ki baat sunn kar chuddiyan utaar kar mej par rakhti Anamika chachi ne palat kar hairani jatate hue poocha.
"Aur tum aisi betuki soch laaye kab apne dimaag me? Abhi toh khud he 3 taikye waha rakhwaye hai aur fir ye manji-apna kamra kaha se aa gaya? Badi didi ki wajah se aisa bol rahe ho toh rehne do? Main samman karti hu isliye jawaab nahi deti par tumhe yaha sone ka haq khud tumhare chacha aur mere pati ne diya hai wo bhi maa ji aur pita ji ke saamne. Chalo jao us taraf apni jagah par.", Chachi ne bister ke dono taraf wale lamp chalu kar diye the jis se aadhe kamre me bharpoor roshni ho chuki thi.
"Meri jagah us taraf? Waah kya sarhad banaai hai aapne Niketan ko lita kar. Waise main jaane ka isliye keh raha tha ki unka dimaag toh aap bhi dekh chuki ho aur atche se jaanti ho ki kahi..", Arjun bister ke dusri taraf jaa kar tek lagate hue goad me ek takiya leta baith gaya.
"Mujhe farak nahi padta aur ye kamra mera hai jaha sone ka haq tumhara hai inki gair-hajiri. Udhar na toh wo cooler chalta hai aur na AC laga hai. Naitik bhi neend me kidhar bhi sarak jata hai aur mujhe bhi chain se 2 ghadi sona chahiye ke nahi?", Bister par baithne ke baad chachi apni kalaai par koyi cream laga rahi thi aur fir panjo ke upari bhag par bhi. Arjun dekh raha tha ki ab chachi khud par thoda dhyaan dene lagi hai. Pehli baar milne par toh usne paaya tha ki kalaai par halke roye jaise baal saaf dikhte the unke jinka ghantatva bhi adhik tha. Na nail-polish dikhti thi aur na nakhoon vyavasthit. Ab toh baahen eksaar aur roye ka ansh tak na tha. Paanv ke panje bhi unke rang jaise gore aur unke nakh saaf tarashe hue. Payjeb jo Arjun ne he dilwayi thi.
"Kya tukur tukur dekh rahe ho? Main nahi karti thi ye sab siwaye chehra ubtan se saaf karne ke. Tumne aadat bigadi aur uske baad tumhari behno aur Saroj-Priya ne. Kal shehar ja rahe ho na toh jo bataungi wo lete aana, paise hain mere paas.", Anamika chachi ki baatein sunn kar Arjun karwat leta hua unke chehre ka jootha nakhra dekh bas muskura raha tha.
"Hey naari teri leela aprampaar hai. Na nar samajh sake na narayan."
"Ab ye kya tana de rahe ho? Nahi laa ke dena toh thik hai, mana kar do lekin pehle ye sab kyun dilwaya tha?", Mej par kamre me snaanghar se aate hue sath laya wo makeup ka dabba Arjun ko utha kar dikhati hui wo ab thodi sachmuch naraaj lagi.
"Paise ka kya bol rahi ho chachi, mera batua bhi aapke paas hai aur bag me bhi bahot pade hai. Aur jarurat hui toh cheque bhi laya hu sath ya fir dada ji ko phone karunga toh mil jaayenge. Atcha hoga na aap sath he chalo shehar. Motorcycle pe ghuma ke laaunga aur mehal bhi dekh lena market ke sath. Is golu-molu ke bhi garmiyon ke kapde le lenge.", Arjun ke nyote par saaf inkaar kar diya chachi ne.
"Nahi ja sakti main. Tum yaad se bas wo samaan le aana jo is bakse me khali ho gaya hai ya hone wala hai. Iske kapde pehle he tumhare sath sath badi maa aur baaki sabhi ne bahot diye hai. Rehta toh ye baniyan nikkar me he hai sara din."
"Haan mere sath kyun jaane lagi aap? Chacha ka he toh ek haq hai aur haweli ki bahu ki tauheen nahi hogi adni si motorcycle par baithne se? Hamari taraf koyi pehchanta nahi tha aur bache ki jarurat ka samaan lena tha toh sath jana pada majburi me.", Arjun bhi chuhal karta hua aundha leta takiye ka satyanash karne me laga tha. Lekin tulna wali baat aur fir haweli ki bahu wala tana Anamika se sehan na hua. Rooyi aur mehakte taral ki shishi mej par rakhte he wo bifar uthi.
"Ek baar aur bolna jara ye majburi, haweli aur apne shehar wali baat? Main tumhare sath waha bhi swabhavik main thi aur idhar bhi wahi hu. Jaanta toh waise bhi is haweli ki bahu ko kaun hoga jab na milne koyi aaya na main bahar nikli. Tumhare chacha ke samne haan-hu se jyda kuch suna mujhe kehte? Ye chota hai jo garmi me safar nahi kar sakta aur tumhe jaha kaam hai waha sirf tum he jao toh behtar hoga. Sath chalungi jab Madhuri ke sasural jana ho ya fir kisi kaam se lekin dhoop ke samay nahi. Aur ab kuch nahi mangwana mujhe tumse.", Shishi ke sath dibba pack karke bister ke niche khiska kar chachi Arjun aur apne bete se mooh fer kar leit gayi. Lamp ka switch sanjha tha jisko band karte he kamre me fir se wahi halki neeli roshni reh gayi. Arjun toh asmanjas me sochta he reh gaya ke aisi toh koyi baat bhi usne nahi kahi thi aur chachi apne bete tak se mooh fer kar so gayi. Kuch pal intjaar karne ke baad wo dabe paanv uthne laga toh jaise iski aahat bhi Anamika ko pata chal gayi. Upar wala hath wo apne chehre par lati us se pehle he Arjun ne hath thaam liya.
"Dil behla rahi thi aap itni der se? Rone ke liye subah he mana kiya tha na chachi aur ab kis baat se vyathit ho? Samajh gaya. Haweli me he rehna padta hai aur koyi hai bhi nahi aapke pas?", Arjun ki baat par chachi ne sar jhukate hue naa me sar hila diya. Wo uske saamne rona nahi chahti thi par jaise Arjun ne unki sanvedanshilta jiwit kar di thi apne pyaar aur dekhbhal se.
"Samaan bhi la dunga chachi aur jo kahogi wo bhi. Bas ye aansu mat bahaya karo choti choti baat par."
"Tumhe koyi kuch bhi keh dega aur meri majburi dekho ki main jawaab bhi nahi de sakti.", Arjun is baat par halke se muskurata hua unke chehre ke kareeb aaya toh wo peeche hatne lagi lekin maathe ko choom kar wo khud he peech ho gaya.
"Itna dhyaan matt diya karo aisi choti moti baaton par. Wo toh khud pareshan thi isliye gusse me mooh se nikal gaya unke. Chalo ab udhar mooh karo aur main apni jagah aaya.", Arjn unhe baah se dhakelta hua palatne ka bol kar wapis apni jagah aa gaya. Bas wo ab gehri neend soye Niketan ke bilkul kareeb tha jaise usko apni chhaya me surakshit rakh raha ho. Chehra saaf karke Anamika bhi apne bete ko sehlati hui pehle toh khamosh rahi fir dhimi awaaj me boli.
"Maalish poori nahi hui na toh aag beqabu ho gayi hogi.", Arjun toh sann he reh gaya ye sunn kar lekin is halki roshni me wo saaf dekh pa raha tha ke chachi ko uska ye sab karna jara bhi pasand na aaya.
"Aapko kaise pata, kamra toh band tha aur aap toh idhar thi jab main mere kamre me gaya tha?"
"Khidki toh band nahi thi na? Hawa ke liye khuli chhodi hogi par hawa ke sath utni jagah se aankhen bhi andar ja sakti hai. Besharmi se pade the na uske niche?"
"Oh toh isliye Aanchal didi ko bheja tha aapne khud aane ki jagah? Aur badi didi se sidha 'uske', kya baat hai Mrs Anamika Sharma, ye sanskar toh haweli ke nahi hai. Galat sangati me toh nahi rehne lagi aap aajkal.", Arjun ke makhol se is baar toh chachi ne uske kandhe par nakhoon he gada diye.
"Besharmi khud karo aur galat mujhe thehrao. Bagiche me khud ghumo aur khuraak leke bhi wo jaaye par baaki sewa main karu. Nahi baat karni mujhe tumse koyi."
"Batua aur ghadi aapke paas hai aur unke sath main bhi yaha. Pagal wo ho rahi hai jabki main yaha aapko manane me laga hu.", Arjun ne badi saavdhani se Niketan ko sath chipkaye hue dusri taraf kiya toh Anamika khud-ba-khud uski is taraf wali baah par sar tikati hui leit gayi.
"Ab raat bhar hilna bhi nahi, yahi saja hai tumhari. Dohre charitra waale dhongi."
"Sachmuch yahi main kehna chahta tha lekin sanskaar beech me aa gaye. Ab lagta hai ki jaise main apne kamre me hu.", Kamre wali baat Arjun ne bahot he dhimi kahi thi jo Anamika ne fir bhi suni. Uske peit se hath gujar kar wo apne bete ko bhi jaanch rahi thi jo Arjun se chipka ab behtar sthiti me tha.
"Ab jyada atche se lagega ki tum apne kamre me ho.", Aankhen moondne se pehle Anamika ne bas halke se Arjun ke hontho aur gaal ke madhya chumban diya aur waise he so gayi. Arjun baat maanta hua bina hile ek taraf maa aur dusri taraf bete ko mefooj kiye khuli aankhon se fir wahi sapna dekhna laga jisme wo swapan-sundari thi, dohre charitra wali.
Aur wo Bharat bhai jaise aasmaan ke paar dekhne wala vyakti tha. Aasman ne bhi apna dohra charitra dikha diya unke anumaan ko sahi thehra kar. Bahar halki bunda-baandi shuru ho chuki thi.
"Daadi, aaj sanyukt abhyaas tha na waha par toh time lag gaya. Din he kitne bache hai apne gaanv ki team ke paas.? Fir thoda bahot akhaade me khelne ke baad main Shahid bhai ki taraf chala gaya aur uske baad Nihaal bhai ke sath tehalne. Aaj dada ji najar nahi aa rahe abhi tak?", Arjun ne khade ho kar jism par thoda sarson ka teil mala aur geele badan ko he halke hatho se maalish karte hue Devaki se baat bhi. Meena apna kaam poora karne ke baad darwaja band karke ek taraf khadi thi jaise aagya chahti ho apne kamre jaane ki.
"Atchi baat hai beta ki tum mehnat kar rahe ho. Thoda sambhal ke rehna bas, gaanv-dehaat me aksar log ranjish ke mauke dhoondte hai aur tum toh unke liye anjaan bhi nahi. Na ghar pe tumhare chacha hai aur na dada. Aise me koyi toh purush yaha rehna chahiye na? Khet se kal he lautenge ab. Aur kuch khaas kiya aaj?", Ab Krishneshwar ji ka toh yahi tha. Khet-khalihaan ke baad gaanv biradari me rehna. Ghar pe waise he unke sath bolne chalne ko log he kitne the. Lekin jis tarah Devaki ne khaas baat kaha Arjun sar jhukaye dono ghutno se niche pindalion tak maalish karta mand mand muskuraya. Damini in dono ki awaaj sunn kar idhar he chali aayi, jo shayad aaj aaj me he teesri ya chauthi baar nahai thi. Kaale rang ka 3 button wala sabhya gown pehne kuch unmukt thi ghar pe sewak aur pita ki gair maujdgi si. Arjun ne us par dhyaan na diya jaise koyi khabar he na ho.
"Khaas baat toh hui daadi lekin pata nahi kitni khaas hai. Koyi Shabana aunty ji hai gaanv me, jinka beta koyi yojna bana raha tha bhari gadbad karne ki khel-ghar ya mele me ye toh saaf nahi hua lekin wo aisa he karne wala tha aur uske sath paas ke he gaanv ke 2 aur ladke bhi the. Rajnish dada ji ne wo dono ladke toh pakad liye par Shabana aunty ka wo beta andhere ka faayeda utha kar nikal gaya. Haah... Shabbir naam tha shayad. Ab main toh naya hu yaha toh mujhe kya pata kaun kya hai aur naam itne yaad bhi kaha rehte hai? Aap jaanti hai unko?", Ye baat usne sharir ko paunchte waqt Damini ki taraf dekhte hue kahi thi jiske chehre par ekdum se khauf ubhar aaya tha. Lekin jaangh par uski maa ka hath mehsoos karte he wo apni jagah se uthti hui Meena ko jaane se pehle kaam batane ka dikhawa karti ek taraf chali gayi.
"Wo pariwar toh bahot bhala hai beta kyonki Shabana mere saamne toh byaah kar aayi thi idhar. Aur aana jana toh mera bhi hai thoda unki taraf lekin Shabbir aur uske bhai ko toh main sare raah fatkaar lagati rahi hu aise galat mel jol ki wajah se. Par yojna matlab toh wo kuch bada karne ki firaaq me he hoga jo manager sahab ne najar rakhi. Behan Seerat jitni nekdil aur sanskari, utna he nikamma aur ghatiya ye ladka. Jarur xxxx nikal gaya hoga bachne ke liye, udhar nanihaal hai na uska. Gaanv ki baat hai toh panchayat se bahar nahi jaane wali par chalo atcha hua ki durghatna nahi hui. Aur wo 2 ladke kaun hai kuch khabar lagi beta?", Devaki machhar wali agarbatti ko jalane ke baad aangan me diwar ke kareeb rakhti hui jaise ab apne kamre me he jaane wali thi. Arjun ne dhila pajama pehan liya tha naade wala. Angocha taar par sukhate hue usne apni choti daadi ki baat ka jawaab diya.
"Pariwar toh hamesha he bhale hote hai daadi, jitni mujhe samajh hai. Bas koyi ek aadh nikal he jata hai jo santusht nahi hota. Ab sahi aur galat toh samaajik taraju hai aur us hisaab se toh paribhasha bhi galat. Baaki main nahi jaanta ki wo ladke kaun the. Aap sone ja rahi hai daadi?", Arjun ke aise vichaar sunn kar Devaki ne khushi jaahir ki aur aashirwad deti hui bas itna bol gayi.
"Jug jug jiyo beta. Maine tumhari bua ko bol diya tha ke wo tumhari maalish kar de jaisa Nihaal ne kaha ki tumhare liye jaruri hai. Bhojan ke baad ya pehle ye toh tum apni suvidha se dekh lo. Baaki sabhi kha chuke hai aur bahu ke sath Aanchal uske he kamre me hogi. Nikku aaj din bhar soya nahi hai toh bas jab tak wo soyega nahi, maami bhanji lagi rahengi uske sath.", Bhitar se haweli ke dwar par tala lag chuka tha aur Devaki ke jaate he Arjun bhi apne kamre me chala aaya. Sharir sachmuch dukh raha tha lekin aaj jaise neend aani bhi mushkil thi is haalat me. Reh-reh kar usko yaad aa rahi thi toh Dipa bhabhi ki wo aankhen jinme aansu the. Usne bahot koshish ki thi khud ko rokne ki waisa na karne se lekin us band sadak jaisi raah par rasta bhi koyi aur na tha. Arjun apne khayalo me dooba waisi he haalat me bister ke beech pasra hua tha, paanv bister se latkaye. Jaise jism ke sath mastishk ko araam de raha ho. Jaane kitni he der wo is haalat me raha aur fir aankh khuli bhi toh kisi ke hilane se.
"Kitni der se awaaj laga rahi hu tumhe aur tum toh aise pade ho jaise afeem kha ke aaye ho. Bhookh nahi hai toh kam se doodh he pee lo thoda. Aur maa ne bataya tha tumhari maalish karni hai isliye main aayi thi.", Ye Damini thi jo uski bagal me baithi thi, seene par jhuki hui. Arjun kuch pal bas usko dekhta raha jaise wo abhi bhi samajh na paya ho fir hadbada kar seedha hone laga toh pehle Damini sahi hui.
"Kya time ho gaya bua?", Arjun ko laga tha ke wo shayad ghante se jyada he so gaya hai aur is kamre me toh ghadi bhi nahi thi.
"Tum toh aise pooch rahe ho jaise bahot der se bister pe ho? Main Meena ke sath galiyare ke udhar thi jab tum apne kamre me aaye aur 5 minute baad he main aa gayi. Waise paune 9 ho chuke hai aur maa toh so bhi gayi. Khana lagwau pehle ya fir maalish karu?", Damini ne maalish shabd kehte hue hontho ko thirkan di thi, sachmuch wo adaaon ki dhani kaamuk stree thi. Badan par pehna wo kala gown beshak jheena nahi tha par seene par dabaav banati 2 ubhri hui bindi saaf batati thi ki bhitar sabkuch ajaad hai. Arjun ka yun uske seene ko dekha jana Damini ko gadgad kar gaya.
"Aap maalish ki jehmat kyun leti ho bua, main thik hu. Aur Niketan soya ya nahi?"
"Abhi Anamika usko doodh pila rahi hai aur Aanchal uske kamre me baithi apna pasandida naatak dekh rahi hai. Aur maalish ki bahot jarurat hai tumhe, nahi toh jodd dukhenge subah. Dekha tha maine kitni mehnat kar rahe the waha aur Anamika ko pehle he bata aayi hu ki aadhe paune ghante baad he khana garam kare tumhara. Chalo ab chaati ke bal seedhe leit jao. Main naa nahi sunn na chahti.", Jitne haq aur kashish se Damini ne Arjun se aisa kaha tha wo na chahte hue bhi bister par girta hua palat gaya. Mooh diwar ki taraf kiye aankhe band lekin baahen faila kar lagbhag poora bister ghere hue. Damini uski taraf mudte he bas us jism par fir se haar gayi. Kya koyi yuvak itna aakarshak aur aisi aprakat mardaangi se bharpoor bhi ho sakta hai jiske sammohan me aane par baaki duniya he feeki lage?
'Nahi.', Damini mann he mann apne sawaal ke jawab par budbudayi aur is baar jo muskurahat thi wo bas isko paane ki thi, koyi shadyantra ya khel nahi. Garam karke laya hua jadi-booti wala teil jaise taise usne apni hatheli par giraya aur jab wo Arjun ki itni balisht aur sughad peeth ki taraf badhi toh haatho ki kampann wo khud he dekh pa rahi thi. Uski haalat us patange si thi jo tej agni ki taraf aakarshit toh ho jata hai usko paane ke liye, par ye nahi jaanta ki aage uska jism aur naseeb dono fanaa hone wale hai. Teil ko failate hue Damini meru (reedh) ke dono taraf ke vishal hisso par apne hath fislati toh ye chahat aur bal lene lagti. Bas kshann maatra ke liye uske jehan me jo pehla shakhs aaya tha jiska sukhad ehsaas wo aajtak nahi bhool payi thi apne komarya bhedan aur us yuwak ki taqat evam mardaangi ka toh wo Shankar he tha.
Adhbhut ehsaas tha wo jisme Shankar ne ek jhatke me he uski achhoti yoni ko cheer kar wo jadui darwaja sada ke liye todd diya. Barseem ki hari dheri par jis tarah us din Shankar ne usko bhoga tha, wo dard bhula kar paagalo ki tarah bas uske jism se lipti un naye rango ko dekh rahi thi jo pehle kabhi jiwan me bhare na the. Pathhar sa sakht Shankar aur maansal naram kuwanri Damini. Pehal sansarg jo Shankar ki adhirta aur bin chehra dekhe hua tha. Pata nahi wo kitna samay chala tha lekin jab dono alag hue tab bhi Damini bichadna nahi chahti thi. Bhola Shankar usko sharam ya darr samajh raha tha lekin alag hone par ye bhaav khud uske chehre par the. Damini ne he agar aage badh kar uske honth choomte hue aisa na kaha hota ki 'Kash tum ye pichli garmiyon me he kar lete toh aaj jitna dard na hota'.
"Oh bua 2 minute kharish jaisi maalish karte hue bhi aap thak gayi kya?", Arjun ki awaaj se wo ek jhatke me he ateet ki us yaad ko wahi chhod vartmaan me lauti. Chehre par laali aur dusra hath khudke seene pe tha Damini ka. Arjun ki chaudi peeth abhi bhi aadhi he chikni hui thi teil me.
"Kuch nahi Arjun, wo ye teil kuch der ke liye aise he chhodna padta hai. Ab tum kahoge ki bua ne toh maalish se he maar dala. Dekho mera kamaal.", Damini kisi surat me halki-fulki stree nahi thi. Atchi khuraak aur kad kaathi ke sath sath gaanv ki hawa me pali badhi aur khelne-koodne ke sath aajtak khoob jordar kaam karti aayi thi, Vinod kaha sehan kar paya tha uska bojh aur josh. Ye Arjun tha yaha jo Vinod toh katai na tha aur Shankar ne komarya liya tha toh uski yaad Damini ke zehan me marte dum tak rehne wali thi, nissandeh aajtak wo uski tagat ke aage jhukti aa rahi thi.
"Hahhhhh.. Ab laga ki bua ki aap mere paas ho. Jyada jor mat laga dena fir kahi kal aap chachi ya daadi se maalish karwati dikho. Aapke hath naram hone ke sath thode majboot toh hain. Sachmuch jaise jism se dard gayab hota ja raha hai.", Arjun aankhen moonde tarif karta raha aur Damini uski kamar se le kar kandho tak dono hath poore dabaav se aage le jaati aur waise he wapis niche. Ek taraf se hath thoda dur tak jaane me asmarth laga toh Damini ne sidha na poochte hue Arjun ko he uksaya.
"Arjun, abhi jor lagaya he kaha hai maine aur agar tum himmat rakhte ho ki sehan kar loge toh phir main khul kar apna maalish ka hunar dikhati hu. Bardasht kar sakte ho mera bojh?", Ab Damini ki mansha toh Arjun se chhipi na thi lekin agar wo utsahit thi toh usne bhi toka nahi. Balki ek kadam aage he raha wo Damini ki soch se.
"Bua aapme bojh he kitna hai jo mujhe pareshani hogi. Bas thakk matt jana kahi fir bimaag ho jao. Aur ho sake toh ye light bujha do, aankhon me jalan hoti hai jab baaki jism me araam milta ho. Lamp mere hath ke paas hai toh main he jala deta hu.", Arjun ne padhne ke liye bister kinare rakha lamp chalu kar diya jo uski pahuch me he tha, 60 watt ka bulb bhi tej tha par uska gheraav simit aur usko bhi diwar ki taraf ghuma kar Arjun ne kamre me maalish ki jagah thoda uttejjak mahol bana diya. Dikh sabkuch saaf raha tha, par andhkaar ke adhik prabhaav me. Damini ki toh jaise mann ki muraad he poori ho gayi thi is band kamre me jaha wo Arjun ke kareeb thi aur ye naam matra roshni.
"Soch lo phir matt kehna ke bua ne bojh se daba kar kamar me chanak daal di?", Arjun ko dusri taraf mooh kiye aankhe moonde pa kar Damini ne aage badhne se pehle apne gown ka upar button khol liya. Wo toh nischint kar chuki thi ki aaj Arjun ko chahe adhura he sahi lekin bhari poori aurat ki garmi ka ehsaas jarur karwa ke rahegi.
"Jaise aapka dil kare waisa karo bua. Koyi rok tok nahi aur rahi baat bojh ki toh main pehle he keh chuka hu mere liye toh aap bhi sabke jaisi he ho. Itna wajan toh main poora din jism pe liye reh sakta hu. Bas araam mil jaaye jaisa aap abhi dila rahi thi.",Arjun ki swikriti milte he Damini ne dono taraf sa apna choga thoda upar utha kar paanv uski kamar ke dono taraf kar liye bister par chadhte he. Is unchaai se wo atche se dekh pa rahi thi andhere me chamakte us balisht jism ko jo ab uske niche he tha aur jald he poori tarah bas me bhi. Savdhani se Damini ghutne modne ke baad unhe bister par tikati hui thik Arjun ke kulho par kulhe tikaye thi. Arjun mann he mann muskura raha tha apni is bua ki khushi par. Usko bhi ehsaas ho chuka tha rubber se naram aur kahi jyada he failaav liye hue bade nitambo ka jo ab uske jism par virajmaan the. Damini ne dono hath fir se us khaas teil me chupad kar aage jhukte hue poori taraf kaamuk andaaj me sharir ka pradarshan karte hue pehle wala karya jaari kiya. 30-32 ki kamar wala Arjun seene ki taraf se 46 se kam na tha. Is mudra me toh peeth kahi jyada he failaav liye kisi bargad ke virksh samaan faili hui.
"Aahhh.. Sachmuch aap mahir ho bua.. Lagta nahi ki itne komal hatho me jadoo ke sath taqat bhi hogi. Bahot atcha lagta hai jab aap kandhe tak hath le jaati ho. Kassi chala chala kar yahi sabse jyada dukh rahe hai.", Arjun jaise usko aur jyada mauka de raha tha apni peeth par girne ka. Patle pajame ke upar se he wo ye bhi samajh chuka tha ki Damini ka gown ke bhitar kya haal hai. Bhaap sa garam seka chhodti uski mulayam ubhri hui choot poora dabaav banati jab Damini aage ko jhukti hui apna jism Arjun ki peeth ki taraf badhati. Bhari chuche bhi latakne ki wajah se nipple ke sath thoda naram hissa kandho par ragad dete. Damini kamjor nahi thi, kisi bhi surat me aam mahila se jyada taqatvar. Lekin Arjun ko utsahit karne ke chakkar me wo khud he garam hone lagi. Har baar yoni ka failna sikudna, har baar chucho par Arjun ki thos peeth ki ragad aur unme badhti sakhti. Kisi bahri nashe me mastaayi Damini har gujarte pal ke sath jyada josh se ye peeth maalish ka upkram badhati rahi. Kamar, peeth, kandhe aur kuch had tak Arjun ki gardan aur baahon ke jodd tak wo thakaan ko choos chuki thi. Uski haalat se anjaan Arjun pichle 10 minute se bas apne he khas sapne me khoya muskura raha tha aur us muskurahat ko dekha Damini ne jab wo kandhe tak hath le aayi. Maddim roshni me bhi damakta aadha chehra aur wo dhanushakar muskaan.
'Farebi hai pakka ye ladka. Kaise maje loot raha hai mere badan ke aur dhitaai se khush ho raha sone ka naatak karta hua.', Damini budbudati hui kab wahi pasar gayi usko he hosh na raha. Kharbuje apna akaar badal kar Arjun ki peeth par dabaav bana rahe the. Aur us par leti Damini maalish bhool kar bas uske chehre ko dekh kar aur jyada garam. Chehra Arjun ke gaal tak jhuk gaya aur uski garam saansein atche se Arjun ki saanson se milne lagi. Arjun ki palke khulne lagi toh Damini ne anjaane me he uske kandho ko poori taqat se daba diya uthne ki hadbadahat me.
"Aahhhh.. Ye kaha se sikha bua? Bilkul sahi jagah se dabaya aapne toh. Ab bas kijiye, nahi toh main so he jaunga is maje me.", Damini jaldi he bahar se sambhal kar wahi hath peeth par dabati kamar tak le aayi.
"Abhi toh seene aur paanv ki bhi baaki hai pyaare. Lagta hai tum bojh uthane ka bahana bana ke bach rahe ho.", Wo nahi jaanti thi ki us se bhari galti hone wali hai aisa karne par. Lekin Arjun jaise us khawaab ki chahat me Damini ki ye baat bhi maan gaya.
"Sidha hone do bua aur jab thak jao tab jaga dena mujhe. Main so nahi raha bas araam kar raha hu.", Arjun ke kehne par Damini ek paanv utha kar utari toh wo bister par seedha pasar gaya. Lekin is baar Arjun ne apne chehre ko kareeb rakhi tshirt se dhak liya jaise wo vyavdhan na chahta ho kisi bhi tarah ka apne antrang khayalo me. Is baar Damini jarur jhijhak rahi thi uske seene ki maalish se. Lekin samay nikal raha tha aur jaise Arjun abhi utna vash me na hua hoga jitna wo usko karna chahti thi. Damini ka khayaal tha ki wo Arjun ko apne jism ke jaal me aisa faans le ki wo khud uske paas aaye aur bhula de un rishto ko jo band kamre se bahar sabhi jaante hai. Damini is baar Arjun ke ling se kuch niche, uski sakht jaangho par apna wajan dhyaan se daalte hue baithi aur hatheliyon ko tyaar karne ke baad badi ehtiyaat se Arjun ke sakht seene ko sehlati hui maalish karne lagi. Damini is hisse par jor ki jagah sparsh aur anubhav ka pradarshan kar rahi thi. Abhi usko ye aakarshak seena aur pasliyan malte hue 5 he minute gujre the ki Aanchal ne uske josh ko hawa karte hue awaaj di.
"Arjun, tum so gaye? Darwaja kholo, maami khana tayaar kar rahi hai.", Aanchal ki awaaj par Arjun ke toh jism me koyi harkat he na hui jabki Damini turant kisi vidaal ki si furti se bister se niche utar kar katori liye darwaje ki taraf lapki. Aaj agar yahi kaam kisi baharwale ne kiya hota toh shayad wo hadd se gujar jaati. Darwaja khulne par saamne apni maa ko dekh kar Aanchal bhi hairaan reh gayi.
"Shor kyun macha rahi hai tu? Wo thaka hara akhaade se aaya tha aur neend me hai. Maa ne kaha tha ke uski maalish kar dena aur araam karne dena.", Itni safaai toh Aanchal ne maangi bhi na thi aur wo apni maa ke jism ka kuch khula bhaag dekh kar bedhadak kamre me dakhil ho gayi. Arjun toh mooh par takiya rakhe apne he meethe sapno me khoya tha jaise usko aaj duniya se kuch lena dena he na tha.
"Jab sharir se itni mehnat hui ho toh khali peit nahi sona chahiye. Arjun ne dopehar se he kuch nahi khaya hai aur maalish toh ho chuki hai jitna mujhe dikh raha hai. Aap apne hath saaf kar lijiye, main isko utha deti hu.", Aanchal ke itni himmat dekh Damini aage kuch bol na saki par wo samajh gayi thi ki uski beti ko khatka toh ho he gaya hai jaise wo uske seene ko ghoor rahi thi.
"Haan ja rahi nahane, garmi waise he bahot hai iske kamre me. Bol dena ki khaane ke baad wapis so jaaye.", Light ab jal rahi thi aur Aanchal ne chehre se tshirt hatane ke baad Arjun ko hilaya toh wo kunmunata hua aise utha jaise savera ho gaya. Saamne Aanchal ko khada dekh bas muskura diya.
"Kitna badhiya sapna tha didi aur aapne beech me he utha diya. Kya time ho gaya? Aur kamre me toh bua thi na?", Arjun badan ko angdaai ke anusaar kholta hua baith gaya. Tshirt barabar me rakhi thi jo apne upari nirvastra bhaag dekh usne turant pehani. Aanchal bas hans rahi thi uske sawalo par.
"Jyada he thak gaye the aaj tum jo aise he so gaye. Maami ne kaha hai ki tumhe utha du, fir khaane ka time nahi rehne wala. 10 bajne wale hai aur chalo mooh hath dho ke chachi wale kamre me he aa jao. Badi atchi film aa rahi hai tv par aur udhar AC bhi chal raha hai.", Aanchal ki baat sunn kar Arjun kamre me bane snaanghar he chal diya chehra dhone. Mann bahot halka tha jaise wo abhi swarg ghoom aaya ho. Aanchal usko le kar he bahar nikli, light pankha band karne ke baad.

"Flight ke time pahuch jayenge Sanjiv aur Radhika?", Shankar khaane se faarig hone ke baad bas kuch he waqt apne pita ke pas baitha tha aur Narinder ke ghar pe pravesh karte he wo usko sath liye chhat par tehalne laga. Din vyast raha tha dono he bhaiyon ka aur Umed bhi apne vyapaar ki wajah se Purnima ji ko haweli chhod kar ja chuka tha. Narinder ke itne jaldi lautne par sabse pehla sawaal Shankar ne yahi poocha.
"Main unhe toh bas Arore ke ghar tak chhodne gaya tha. Sanjiv usko kuch kaam saunp ke car se he nikla hai bahu ke sath. Ab unke safar me main kyun roda banu? Tu suna aaj ka din kaisa raha?", Narinder ki baat sahi lagi thi Shankar ko aur wo diwar ki munder par hath tikaye gali ke roshan gharo ki taraf dekh raha tha.
"Filhaal toh lag raha hai ki sabkuch thik hai par jab jab aisa lagta hai kisi na kisi ki maa apne aap chudwane aa jati hai. Pratap, wo agle sector wala apna doctor dost. Shaam ko bata raha tha ke Rajasthan sarhad pe jis jameen par wo hospital banane me laga tha, us par stay lag gaya hai. Sarkari aadesh nahi hai lekin rukwane wala aadmi vibhaag se he hai.", Shankar ko itna gambhir dekh Narinder samajh gaya ki is kisse me bhi uska bhai kahi na khi shamil hai.
"Aur iski wajah hogi teri uske sath gehri dosti aur vyapaar me hissedari?", Shankar ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Shalu (Shalini) ke chacha sasur se baat ki thi maine Gajju se number le kar. Unhone bataya ki highway paas hone ki wajah se keemat aasman jaane lagi hai udhar aur bade bade karobari aane lage hai jameen dekhne. Pratap wali jameen hai naye nakshe me sabse aage hai aur kone ka 4 ekad bhukhand hai. Jo naye rule ke hisaab se 70-30 rakhna hoga. Stay lagane wala local bhi hai aur vibhaag me uncha bhi. Pratap se 25 crore ki demand ki hai ya fir dhancha aise he khada rahega aur ijajat nahi milegi. Jaanta hai Inder sirf aise he dalle logo ki wajah se mujhe prashashan aur uske niyamo par gussa aata hai. Pratap ne sabkuch udhar laga rakha hai aur loan pe kaam shuru hua tha mujhse 5 lene ke baad. Dikkat nahi thi ab tak koyi lekin ab wo aadmi sadak pe aa jayega aise parajiviyon ki wajah se.", Narinder jaanta tha ki Shankar dosto ka dost hai jo unke liye kisi hadd tak gujar sakta hai. Wahi Pratap bhi ek sajjan vyakti tha swabhiman se bhara. Shankar se wo paise lene nahi wala tha hissedari se upar.
"Papa se yahi baat kar raha tha tu niche?"
"Hmmm.. Batana toh jaruri hai ki waha aisa ho raha hai. Main kahi kuch kar du toh baat un par pehle aayegi. Lekin unhone toh mujhe Delhi par karne se he mana kar diya us taraf jana toh dur. Bol rahe the ki ya toh dosti nibha lo ya apne baap ko uski jooti par gira do jiske mooh par unhone jooti maar ke bedakhal kiya tha. Ab toh baat aisi ho jaayegi ki agar kisi se us ko samjhane ke liye bhi kahunga toh baat mujhpe he aani hai. Pratap ka sabkuch daav pe hai yar Inder."
"Maa ko pranaam karu main us dalle ki. Tu chinta na kar Shankar, iska bhi hal hai apne paas. Tu is aadmi ki detail le doctor se aur Bhalle ko bhijwa. Wo Delhi baith ke he ye kaam kar dega jitna mujhe uska rasookh pata chala.", Inder ki baat par Shankar sehmat nahi tha jaise.
"Uski sewa kyun leni bhai jab apne paas jugaad hai. Aur wo toh khud apna ehsaanmand hai."
"Ab ehsaan ko uske dil me rehne de Shankar aur ye samajh ki wo ab partner hai hamara. Uska londa Rajasthan ke boarding me kyun padhta hai jaanta hai? Aur uska apharan apne pradesh me kyun hua? Umed ne kyun Bhalla ko itni tavajjo di aur itne bade bade kaam karne par bhi mooh nahi khola balki usko mureed banaya. Gajendra Bhalla waha rasookh rakhta hai aur agar us taraf koyi hai jo uski takkar ka hai toh wo Ramakaant Tehsildar. Dono ek dusre ko pasand nahi karte par Bhalla ki jooti kuch maamlo me us se upar hai aur dono ka support ek he party ko hai. Filhal wahi party idhar hai aur Delhi me toh usko kuch farak he nahi padta jab uska he naam ek jalwa ho. Bhalla toh khus ho jaayega Shankar ki tune usko kuch kaam diya. Wo rehta beshak Umed ke ya mere sath hai par juda tere sath hai dil se.", Narinder ka itna bharosa dekh Shankar kuch shaant hua kyonki Gajendra Bhalla ne sachmuch Shankar ko dharam bhai banaya tha, vidhi se. Aur kehne maatra se wo 2-2 bar idhar aaya tha shadi se pehle bhi aur shaadi me bhi, pariwar samet.
"Aur ye sach hai ki uska utna rasookh hai us registaan me?"
"Tabadala karwane ke baad bhi wo maafi mangwaye bina toh us aadmi ko jaane nahi dega. Baaki hisab uska bhi tere jaisa hai lekin wo khud nahi maarta kisi ko, uske aadmi laash pehchan ne laayak nahi chhodte bas ishara karne ki der hai. Raat ko waise bhi aajkal wo time se ghar aane laga hai. 10 bajne wale hai toh abhi khana kha raha hoga. Niche chalenge na sone toh kar liyo phone. Subah bol diyo Pratap ko good morning. Jo sacha insaan hai na Shankar, uska koyi 4 aana nahi chheen sakta. Aur jisne paap se lanka bhi basa li ho toh wo bhi deh jaati hai. Pratap saaf insan hai aur teri niyat bhi. Aur ye sab chhod munna laal ki khabar li kya papa se?", Narinder ne baat Arjun ke mudde par ghuma di thi aur Shanakr jaise baaki sab bhool gaya.
"Maa aaj poora din khush hai aur abhi sone lagi thi tab bhi bas uska he jaap karne me lagi thi. Yaad hai Inder is se pehle maa kab itna khush dikhi thi?", Shankar ke jawaab bhi itihaas samete rehte the aur Narinder jaise jawaab jaanta tha kyunki itihaas bahot baat yaad karwaya tha Shankar ne usko.
"Jab Naitik ko goad me uthaya tha maa ne, jab Arjun ka naamkaran wala din tha aur jab papa retire hue. Wo un 3 din kisi ko bolne he kaha de rahi thi. Sanjiv ki shaadi me toh fir bhi wo yaadon me uljhi thi khushi ke sath. Sanjiv jab paida hone wala tha tabhi humne thode se time me poora naksha badal kar rakh diya. Uski khushi manati ya itna kuch khone ka dukh.? Atcha hai ke maa aaj sara din khush rahi aur isme papa ka bhi poora hath hai jinhone bas baat khushi wali he unhe bataai.", Narinder ne sab ginwa diya tha is jawaab me siwaye aakhir me baat adhuri chhodte hue.
"Kuch aur bhi hua kya aaj? Aur tu bhi mujhe batane wala tha Bharat bhai ke sath mulakaat ke baare me aur Arjun ki nigrani kaise kar raha hai?", Shankar itna toh samajhta tha ke uska bhai vyast jiwan tabhi rakhta hai jab wo sachmuch kaam par ho. Aaj wo Sanjiv ko chhodne ke baad bhi itna samay bahar laga kar aaya tha.
"Bharat dilchasp aadmi hai lekin mujhe itni dilchaspi ki aadat nahi hai Shankar. Lekin network toh tagda he hoga jitna maine usko samjha. Mere saamne bhi 8-9 mukhbir aaye aur gaye uske paas. Koyi chai dene, koyi purana akhbar toh kuch tasvire. Jadd se judd kar kaam karne wala insaan hai aur tajurba bhi hoga jab Satish uncle se thoda he chota hai. Waise Arjun miya ne udhar karnama kar dikhaya wo bhi ummeed se pare.", Shankar ne haan me sar hila kar jaise pushti ki is baat ki.
"Suchh Singh uncle ka phone aaya tha jinhone pehle maa se baat ki aur fir papa ne band kamre me. Lambi baatchit hui thi unki par chehre se toh wo bhi khush he dikhe. Baaki bapu ko toh umar nikal gayi tab bhi samajh nahi paaye. Hanste hanste he kab bund laal kar dete the pata he ni chalta tha. Hahaha.. Waise tujhe kya bataya tere bande ne?"
"Kaisa banda be Shankar? Tu sahi keh raha tha ke wo jarurat se jyada chaukas insaan hai. Jugraaj se baat kar raha tha ek ghante se aur wo bhi pehle Arjun gungaan karta raha aur aakhir me mudde ki baat bataai wo bhi aise jaise kisi aur ko pata na chale. Arjun ne majaak majaak me Kamlesh aur uske 4 sathi kuch samay ke liye ghar me baitha diye aaj shaam ko. Keh raha tha ke waha baithe the unko he nahi pata laga ke ladka kya kar gaya toh saamne walo par toh gujri thi. 2 ke kandhe utaar diye pasliya sujane ke sath aur 2 ke takhne, kamar ki hansli hila di. Kamlesh toh thodi der pehle tak bhi seena pakad ke baitha ro raha tha. Khoon bahot nikla uska mooh se. Aur ye hua waha halke fulke mukable me.", Narinder ne baat aage badhane se pehle Shankar ka rukh dekhna chaha ke wo is baat ko kaise le raha hai.
"Aur bas itne he the? Lekin usne aise kyun mara jab khel majaak wala tha? Dimaag toh nahi hil gaya is ladke ka apne bade bhai aur chacha ki umar ke bande koot diye sabke saamne?", Shankar gussa nahi tha bas chintit tha. Baat unke pita tak ja he chuki thi toh wo kya kehta.
"Jugraaj ne bataya ke Kewal Singh ne usko pehle he bata diya tha ke Kamlesh kuch bada karne wala hai isliye usne he apne is bhai ko bulwaya tha maidaan me. Aur Arjun dopehar se he is sarpanch ke sath tha. Akhaade me Kamlesh ne humla karwaya Dilbaag se, wahi apne ghar se pehle jo rehta hai. Ford wala Dilbag, kya naam tha uske pita ka?", Shankar ko sawalo me uljha kar wo gussa rok raha tha uska kyonki humla aur yojna sunte he Shankar ke dhile nutt khul he jaate the.
"Gurjant Singh, chacha amli. Lekin wo himmat nahi kar sakta apne ladke pe hath daalne ki. Papa ko wo pasand tha kabhi aur wo aate jaate uske khet pe milte bhi the. Ye Kamlesh kaha hai? Kuch khabar di Jugraaj ne?"
"Rehne de is baat me na he padd Shankar. Dilbag ka sach Arjun jaan gaya tha isliye usne usko sirf jameen par giraya. Waise Juggi ye bhi keh raha tha ke Arjun ke aaspas aur log na hote toh wo shayad maar he deta ek aadhe ko. Par ladke ne samajhdari se kaam liya aur Dilbag ko saja sunai khet pe najarband rehne ki aur sarpanch ne kal Kamlesh ko panchayat me gaanv nikala dene ke sath sath 307 ka parcha bhi dalwa diya hai jaisa ghar jaane ke baad sarpanch ne Jugraaj ko bataya. Lala ji bhi fainsle me the aur is ghatna ke waqt bhi Arjun ke pas rahe. Shahid dhyaan rakh raha hai Dilbag ka jaisa Arjun chahta hai lekin wo kis jugat me hai ye nahi samajh aayi. Kamlesh ko toh pehle bhi ek baar Kewal ne jhada tha aur papa se bhi shikayat ki thi. Papa ne toh pehli galti bol kar chhod diya par ab sidha 307 ka parcha?"
"Wo toh chal jaan se maare ke pryaas me karwa diya hoga par Arjun ne Dilbag ko saja sunaai? Ye baat hui aur tu keh raha hai waha Juggi, Lala ji aur Succha Singh ji tak the. Kewal bhi bina panchayat rakhe paksh nahi rakhta aur us se pehle daar ji aur ke sath ye lala ji aur apne maulvi ji vichar karte hai. Krishan chacha dakhal nahi rakhte par papa yaha se sandesh de dete hai unhe agar aisi koyi baat ho. Par 8 baje se abhi tak toh main he unke sath tha. Suchha Singh ji ka bhi phone 9 ke baad he aaya. Hum bahar bahar se najar bhi nahi rakh pa rahe ho aur udhar andar alag khichdi pak rahi hai. Papa bas jaankari le rahe hai. Arjun saja nahi de sakta Inder kisi ko bhi", Shankar ki toh ghadi yahi atak gayi thi. Usko matlab he nahi tha ke haadsa hua, Arjun ne itno ko dhila kar diya lekin matlab tha toh bas is baat se ki wo Dilbag ko itne pratinidhiyon ke beech saja dene wala kaun ho gaya. Uske pita bhi apna paksh dete toh aise maamlo me subah hone wali panchayat par chote bhai ya gram-pratinidiyon me se kisi ko se kehalwate.
"Usne aise he chunoti nahi uthai be Shankar. Wo dada ki jooti pehan ke chaupal pe gaya tha. Pehle din subah usne ek fainsla liya aur shaam ko ek saja suna di, wo bhi aise jaise Dilbag ke jariye wo kuch aur dhoond raha ho. Mauke par saja dene ka haq sirf dada ji ko tha Shankar gaanv ke aapsi masle me. Ab Arjun wo haq le chuka hai jiska matlab hai ki Jugraaj bhi humko sirf jaankari de sakta hai ki kya hua par Arjun par najar rakhne ki jarurat wo nahi karega. Vada khilafi hogi ye aur aisa sirf 2 logo ki sehmati se ho sakta hai, Papa aur raani maa. Lekin ek taraf papa uske chunoti wale maamle par ukhde hue hai aur dusri taraf unhone itna bada fainsla uske paksh me jaane diya. Ho sakta hai ki isme rani maa ka prabhav ho lekin wo 18 ka he hai Shankar aur itni badi jimmewari?", Narinder ke antarmann ko Shankar he samajh sakta tha aur aise samay par wo aksar thoda bada bhai jisa vyavahar bhi karta tha.
"Jitna main jaanta hu Inder, gram-sampatti sirf yahi 2 log nahi paarit kar sakte. Haan adhikar papa ke paas bhi hai aur mohar mehal se he lagi hogi. Isme chote dada, Raghuvir chacha aur Rekha ki sehmati rehni jaruri hai. Rekha ko maa ki jagah shamil kiya gaya tha aur Raghuvir chacha ko gujre hone wale hai 5 baras se jyada. Aur usme bhi unke aahiri kuch baras ekakipan wale rahe hai. Fainsla toh matlab bahot pehle he kar liya gaya tha. Aur ek baat samajh nahi aa rahi ki ye hua so hua lekin Rekha ko haqdar kaise bani.? Main toh us dauraan idhar rehta he nahi tha aur mujhe toh iske baare me yahi thodi jaankari jab Arjun ke naam kheti wali jameen transfer karwayi gayi thi tabhi pata chala.", Shankar naya sawaal khoj laya tha itne bade mudde ko darkinar karta.
"Teri wajah se ghanchakkar. Tu aur rakh le taai ki haweli par sharte maa ke saamne. Maa ne toh tabhi thaan liya tha ke wo hamari jagah bahuon ko baaki ke haq dengi lekin Rekha bhabhi ko unhone chote chacha ke yaha he apna daiytva saunp diya tha. Panjikaran bhi khud papa ne karwaya tha mere sath ja kar. Matlab Rekha bhabhi ko bhi maloom hai ki Arjun uttradikari banaya gaya hai? Unke bina bhi toh sambhav nahi jaisa tu keh raha hai."
"Bahar he reh is sab se Inder nahi toh thanedar ke chakkar me padd gaye toh jaane is baar kaunsi saja milegi. Maa ne toh tagdi chot maari hai us samjhaute me meri shart ke badle. Aur Rekha toh meri samajh se he pare hai fir maa ko jaane kaise samajh aa jaati hai. Ghar ka he toh khayaal rakhti hai wo bhi bhabhi aur Krishna ke sath mil kar. Betiyan sath deti hai so alag."
"Tu rahega ling ka ling. Gotte wali jaga dimaag fit na hai tera. Ghar ko ghar banaye rakhna he toh sabse badi chunoti hai. Jaanta bhi hai ki bache kab padh gaye aur itne bade bade vishaye me aajtak unhe tution tak ki jarurat na padi. Sanjiv toh sabse bada udaharan hai iska tere samne. Fir ye kyun bhool jata hai ki bhabhi ki sehanshakti maa se bhi kahi jyada hai? Ritu ke samay bhi goli chali thi, Arjun goad me tha tab bhi waisa he hua par himmat dikha kar na sirf bete ko balki hamari maa ko bachaya tha bhabhi ne. Aurat ho kar bhi hamlavar ka saamna karne wali us naari ki kshamta tujhe nahi dikh rahi jabki ek bar goli tere saamne he un par chali aur hath bhi aisa kata ki atcha khasa mard behosh ho jaaye ya fir jyada bura bhi ho sakta tha. Bhai tujhme bas ek yahi choti si kami hai ki tu bahar ki duniya bahot behtar jaanta hai lekin ek andruni jiwan ki mehta tujhe aajtak pata nahi chali. Koyi aur hoti toh rishtey se inkaar kar deti aur byaah bhi ho jata toh ek din baat he apne ghar baith jaati.", Narinder jaise bahaav ke sath kuch jyada he Shankar ko jhanjhod gaya.
"Pyaar ke saamne kisi se tulna kaise ki ja sakti hai yar? Mujhe toh is sabki chahat he nahi thi kabhi aur tere saamne hai ki pyaar ki wajah se main taraju ke 2 alag alag paldo me akela he santulan banaye jee raha hu. Rekha atchi hai aur ek badhia maa bhi lekin na toh hamari maa ko kabhi ishq hu, na baap ko aur na he Rekha ko toh ye log kaha samjhenge pyaar ki ehamiyat? Rishto ki shayad jyada samajh rakhte honge aur samaaj ki par 2 dilo ke beech wale us pyaar ka kya jiske saamne poori duniya bhi haar jaane ka dukh nahi aur wo hansil na ho toh poori duniya bhi bharpaayi na kar sakti."
"Sahi kehta hai bhai tu. Wo 3-3 bache toh hawa me udd kar aa gaye the jaise purane samay ki kahaniyan batati hai. Bacha manga aur ja beti tujh par kripa hui. Chal be tu niche he chal pata nahi aaj ye ishq ki hariyali kaha dekh ke aaya hai jo maa baapu ko tu ishq ka dushman bata raha. Waise Vishnu ki bhi jaanch me laga diya maine Bharat bhai ko.", Aur Inder ne turant he Shankar ka dimag nayi jagah ghuma diya. Aise he wo uljhaye rakhta tha Shankar ko apne tikdam me jis se wo jald he usme shamil ho jata tha. Dono seedhiyan utar kar niche sone chal diye kyonki 11 baj chuke the. Rekha ke kamre ko chhod baki har kamre me zero bulb he jal rahe the ya wo bhi nahi.
"Notes ke liye bol dena apne papa ko beta. Tumhari Ruchi bua bata rahi thi ki is university ke kuch purane paper aur kitabe unke yaha padi hai. Aise toh ye poori 8 kitabe khatam karne me 2 mahine lagenge aur notes bhi barabar nahi tayaar hone wale.", Rekha tek lagaye apni beti ko dekh rahi jo barabar baithi hui pichle 4 ghante se bas padhne me he juti thi. Alka ne he usko yaha khana laa ke diye tha aur ab sone jaane se pehle coffee bhi.
"Ek sample paper toh hai he na maa. Us se he match karte topics padh rahi hu aur medical chahe yaha ko ho yahi kahi aur ka, system aur subjects toh wahi rehte hai na maa?"
"Phir tu yahi se kyun nahi padhai poori kar leti agar sabkuch same hai? Farak kahi jyada hai aur waha ka eduction model bhi. Chal ab ye kitaabe ek taraf rakh aur araam kar le. Waise toh 30 minute ke baad 10 minute ka break le lena chahiye lekin tujhe pehle se aadat hai isliye maine nahi toka. Lekin sava 11 ho chuke hai aur 4 baje ka alarm set hai.", Sone ki baat sunn kar Ritu ne turant he sab samaan samet kar saamne table par rakh diya. Uski furti dekh Rekha bhi kuch shankit thi ke ye ekdum se isko kya hua lekin jaise he Ritu ne zero ka bulb jalane ke baad bister par paanv ki taraf rakhi chaadar upar lene ka upkram kiya toh Rekha ji samajh gayi apni is gudiya ki jaldbaaji.
"Tujhe apne pas sulana mujhe toh bhari nahi padne wala na beta?"
"Halka padega maa, likhwa lo. Aur mujhe bhi is se atchi neend kahi nahi aati.", Unke hath se duri rakhte hue Ritu simat kar andar he dubak gayi. Bahar bas halki si awaaj aayi toh wo chain khulne ki thi.
"Sharam kar beta tu 20 ki hone wali hai 2 mahine baad. Agar ye kisi ne dekh liya na toh meri problem toh unhe samajh aa jaayegi lekin tere paas jawaab nahi hone wala.", Rekha ji usko samjha rahi thi aur Ritu ne toh andar he unke upari vaksh ko anavrit kar liya tha jarurat anusaar.
"Bol dena paida hone par toh piya nahi tha, ab kasar poori ho rahi hai. Komal didi aur Aaru dekho kitne hatte katte hai lekin main toh dubli hu unke saamne. Ab sone do na maa?", Matlab sone se saaf tha peene do na maa. Aur Rekha ji jawaab deti us se pehle he wo chaadar ke bhitar he apne honth jod chuki thi. Aisa kuch samay ke antraal baad ho raha tha toh jo mauli rukawat ubhri thi dugdh-chhidra par usko Ritu ne jor se daba kar khinchte hue hataya toh Rekha ji ki halki si cheekh nikal gayi.
"Oh.. beta tu sachmuch waisi ki waisi hai. Tab doodh kam banta tha toh khoon nikaal deti thi aur ab bhi hathh waisa he hai tera.. Aaru se baat hui teri?", Rekha ji ne pyaar se uska sar sehlate hue poocha jabki jawaab me Ritu ne bhitar he sar hilane ke sath unki kamar me hath dal liya.
"Wo thik hai na? Meri toh bas subah he ek minute ke liye baat hui thi. Lekin wo tujhse jaroor poochta hoga mere aur Komal ke baare me.", Ritu ne bas aakhiri baar ye jawaab diya wo bhi purane andaaj me he. Aur Rekha ji ke aakhir sawal se pehle he dher ho chuki thi.
'Galti ho gayi isko bula kar. Mushkil se band kiya tha aur ab fir haalat pehle jaisi. Poora khatam karna meri gudiya.. araam se..', Sar ko thapkati hui wo apne aap se he baat kar rahi thi. Vicharo me apne bache he the aur anyaas he dhyaan jab Arjun aur Ritu par kendrit hua toh sar ko jhatak kar aankhen band he kar li. Kaha toh wo soch rahi thi ki kuch samay pehle us raat dono bhai behan apni maa ki agal bagal yahi sukh le rahe the jisme Ritu ne Arjun ke sote he uski taraf bhi kabja jama kar usko pare dhakel diya tha. Aur fir dhyaan aaya unke beech pyaar ka wo ankaha pehlu jiske liye unki saas tak jhalki de gayi thi. Bache itne pyare the aur maa ke kareeb bhi lekin inki kismat me ye kaisa rishta likha hai jiska naam jubaan par aana he gunaah hai? Rekha ko bas yaad raha toh apne bete ka wo chehre jisme khud wo thi. Aur ye sach toh us rishtey se bhi bhari tha jis par wo chintit thi. Soch ko purnviraam dete hue Rekha ne apni beti ko aagoseh me lene ka he fainsla kiya. Samay aane par ghar ke bade he fainsla lenge, wo bas ek baat dhyaan rakhegi ki pariwar tootne na paaye..

.
Vinod ke kamre me is waqt zero ki neeli roshni ke sath television ka atirikt prakash vyapt tha. Arjun ko jyada bhookh na hone ke bawjood apni chachi dwara khaas uske liye banaya bhojan itna pasand aaya tha ki wo Aanchal aur unke sath batchit karte hue poora khana khatam karke he hata. Samay thoda jyada laga tha batchit aur film ki charcha ke beech. Niketan bhi AC ki thandi hawa me is waqt chain se so raha tha bister ke thik beech.
"Aanchal, raat jyada ho chuki hai beti. Apne kamre me chalo, film toh ek khatam hogi toh dusri shuru.", Damini pichle dedh ghante se apne kamre me akeli thi jo ab uth kar idhar aayi toh Arjun bhi apne raat ke sone wale kapde pehan kar kamre me aa chuka tha. Aanchal aur Arjun 3 gaddi wale sofe par baithe the aur Aanchal apne jiwan ka he koyi kissa film me chal rahe majaak se jodd kar suna rahi thi. Inke hansne par tatkaal rok lagi Damini ke aane par.
"Bas uth rahi hu maa, tum chalo kamre me. Waise bhi din bhar sona he hota hai. Lekin aaj aap kyun nahi soyi abhi tak?", Aanchal ke aise sawaal par pehle se he ukhdi hui Damini apna aapa he kho baithi.
"Tumhari ye mehfile aur television ke shor ke beech behra bhi nahi so sakta. Maa ka kamra dur hai aur waha cooler hai isliye unhe awaaj nahi aati. Main bagal wala kamra chhod kar he rehti hu, jyada dur nahi. Utho abhi aur chalo sone. Arjun tumhe bhi toh jaldi uthna hoga? Anamika, tum toh badi ho...", Damini ka lehja dekh Aanchal kuch bolne he lagi thi ki Arjun ne uska hath daba diya.
"Sorry bua hamari wajah se aapko pareshani hui. Didi, bua ki baat sahi hai. Hum toh yahi hai, kal din me baith jaayenge. Aap jao aur bua ko bhi akele neend nahi aa rahi hogi.", Anamika bhi kshama maangne ke baad television band karke bhitar wale snaanghar me chali gayi. Ab Damini ko apni he harkat buri lag rahi thi jab 2-2 log maafi maang rahe the us dhimi awaaj ke liye jo kamre me bhi sahi se nahi suni ja rahi thi aur uski khudki beti narajgi se paanv patak kar uske saamne se he nikalti hui us kamre me chali gayi jaha usne sona tha. Arjun wapis us gaddi wale sofe par baitha toh Damini ne thodi tameej se poocha is baar.
"Tum abhi yahi baithne wale ho? Maalish ke samay toh tumhe neend aa rahi thi."
"Haan bua neend toh abhi bhi aa rahi hai lekin khana deri se khaya hai na toh bister pe jaane ka mood nahi. Aap so jaiyen, 11 baj chuke hai. Subah koyi nahi bhi uthayega toh 5-6 baje tak aankh shor se khul he jaati hai.", Arjun ne sofe par he chaukdi laga li thi. Damini aage kuch na kehti hui niraash ho kar bahar se shubhkamnaye deti chali gayi. Arjun ne uth kar darwaja lagaya aur sofe pe fir se pasar gaya. Wo apne sapne ke baare me he soch raha tha jo bilkul vastavik sa tha aur dil ko adhbhut sukh deta. Anamika jab snaanghar se kapde badal kar gown pehne bahar aayi toh Arjun ko chatt ki taraf najre jamaye muskurate dekh pehle hairaan hui fir uske sar pe halki chapat laga kar bolne lagi.
"Mungerilal ji, khuli aankhon se he sapne dekh rahe ho wo bhi si chote se sofe par let kar.? Udhar poora bister saamne khali pada hai aur tum idhar sikud kar lete ho. Chalo utho.", Arjun sharmata hua utha jaise uski chori saaf pakdi gayi ho aur fir chachi ka gulabi geela chehra aur waisa he gown dekh tarif se muskuraya.
"Main soch raha tha ke ya toh idhar he manji daal lu aangan se la kar nahi toh apne kamre me chala jau.", Arjun ki baat sunn kar chuddiyan utaar kar mej par rakhti Anamika chachi ne palat kar hairani jatate hue poocha.
"Aur tum aisi betuki soch laaye kab apne dimaag me? Abhi toh khud he 3 taikye waha rakhwaye hai aur fir ye manji-apna kamra kaha se aa gaya? Badi didi ki wajah se aisa bol rahe ho toh rehne do? Main samman karti hu isliye jawaab nahi deti par tumhe yaha sone ka haq khud tumhare chacha aur mere pati ne diya hai wo bhi maa ji aur pita ji ke saamne. Chalo jao us taraf apni jagah par.", Chachi ne bister ke dono taraf wale lamp chalu kar diye the jis se aadhe kamre me bharpoor roshni ho chuki thi.
"Meri jagah us taraf? Waah kya sarhad banaai hai aapne Niketan ko lita kar. Waise main jaane ka isliye keh raha tha ki unka dimaag toh aap bhi dekh chuki ho aur atche se jaanti ho ki kahi..", Arjun bister ke dusri taraf jaa kar tek lagate hue goad me ek takiya leta baith gaya.
"Mujhe farak nahi padta aur ye kamra mera hai jaha sone ka haq tumhara hai inki gair-hajiri. Udhar na toh wo cooler chalta hai aur na AC laga hai. Naitik bhi neend me kidhar bhi sarak jata hai aur mujhe bhi chain se 2 ghadi sona chahiye ke nahi?", Bister par baithne ke baad chachi apni kalaai par koyi cream laga rahi thi aur fir panjo ke upari bhag par bhi. Arjun dekh raha tha ki ab chachi khud par thoda dhyaan dene lagi hai. Pehli baar milne par toh usne paaya tha ki kalaai par halke roye jaise baal saaf dikhte the unke jinka ghantatva bhi adhik tha. Na nail-polish dikhti thi aur na nakhoon vyavasthit. Ab toh baahen eksaar aur roye ka ansh tak na tha. Paanv ke panje bhi unke rang jaise gore aur unke nakh saaf tarashe hue. Payjeb jo Arjun ne he dilwayi thi.
"Kya tukur tukur dekh rahe ho? Main nahi karti thi ye sab siwaye chehra ubtan se saaf karne ke. Tumne aadat bigadi aur uske baad tumhari behno aur Saroj-Priya ne. Kal shehar ja rahe ho na toh jo bataungi wo lete aana, paise hain mere paas.", Anamika chachi ki baatein sunn kar Arjun karwat leta hua unke chehre ka jootha nakhra dekh bas muskura raha tha.
"Hey naari teri leela aprampaar hai. Na nar samajh sake na narayan."
"Ab ye kya tana de rahe ho? Nahi laa ke dena toh thik hai, mana kar do lekin pehle ye sab kyun dilwaya tha?", Mej par kamre me snaanghar se aate hue sath laya wo makeup ka dabba Arjun ko utha kar dikhati hui wo ab thodi sachmuch naraaj lagi.
"Paise ka kya bol rahi ho chachi, mera batua bhi aapke paas hai aur bag me bhi bahot pade hai. Aur jarurat hui toh cheque bhi laya hu sath ya fir dada ji ko phone karunga toh mil jaayenge. Atcha hoga na aap sath he chalo shehar. Motorcycle pe ghuma ke laaunga aur mehal bhi dekh lena market ke sath. Is golu-molu ke bhi garmiyon ke kapde le lenge.", Arjun ke nyote par saaf inkaar kar diya chachi ne.
"Nahi ja sakti main. Tum yaad se bas wo samaan le aana jo is bakse me khali ho gaya hai ya hone wala hai. Iske kapde pehle he tumhare sath sath badi maa aur baaki sabhi ne bahot diye hai. Rehta toh ye baniyan nikkar me he hai sara din."
"Haan mere sath kyun jaane lagi aap? Chacha ka he toh ek haq hai aur haweli ki bahu ki tauheen nahi hogi adni si motorcycle par baithne se? Hamari taraf koyi pehchanta nahi tha aur bache ki jarurat ka samaan lena tha toh sath jana pada majburi me.", Arjun bhi chuhal karta hua aundha leta takiye ka satyanash karne me laga tha. Lekin tulna wali baat aur fir haweli ki bahu wala tana Anamika se sehan na hua. Rooyi aur mehakte taral ki shishi mej par rakhte he wo bifar uthi.
"Ek baar aur bolna jara ye majburi, haweli aur apne shehar wali baat? Main tumhare sath waha bhi swabhavik main thi aur idhar bhi wahi hu. Jaanta toh waise bhi is haweli ki bahu ko kaun hoga jab na milne koyi aaya na main bahar nikli. Tumhare chacha ke samne haan-hu se jyda kuch suna mujhe kehte? Ye chota hai jo garmi me safar nahi kar sakta aur tumhe jaha kaam hai waha sirf tum he jao toh behtar hoga. Sath chalungi jab Madhuri ke sasural jana ho ya fir kisi kaam se lekin dhoop ke samay nahi. Aur ab kuch nahi mangwana mujhe tumse.", Shishi ke sath dibba pack karke bister ke niche khiska kar chachi Arjun aur apne bete se mooh fer kar leit gayi. Lamp ka switch sanjha tha jisko band karte he kamre me fir se wahi halki neeli roshni reh gayi. Arjun toh asmanjas me sochta he reh gaya ke aisi toh koyi baat bhi usne nahi kahi thi aur chachi apne bete tak se mooh fer kar so gayi. Kuch pal intjaar karne ke baad wo dabe paanv uthne laga toh jaise iski aahat bhi Anamika ko pata chal gayi. Upar wala hath wo apne chehre par lati us se pehle he Arjun ne hath thaam liya.
"Dil behla rahi thi aap itni der se? Rone ke liye subah he mana kiya tha na chachi aur ab kis baat se vyathit ho? Samajh gaya. Haweli me he rehna padta hai aur koyi hai bhi nahi aapke pas?", Arjun ki baat par chachi ne sar jhukate hue naa me sar hila diya. Wo uske saamne rona nahi chahti thi par jaise Arjun ne unki sanvedanshilta jiwit kar di thi apne pyaar aur dekhbhal se.
"Samaan bhi la dunga chachi aur jo kahogi wo bhi. Bas ye aansu mat bahaya karo choti choti baat par."
"Tumhe koyi kuch bhi keh dega aur meri majburi dekho ki main jawaab bhi nahi de sakti.", Arjun is baat par halke se muskurata hua unke chehre ke kareeb aaya toh wo peeche hatne lagi lekin maathe ko choom kar wo khud he peech ho gaya.
"Itna dhyaan matt diya karo aisi choti moti baaton par. Wo toh khud pareshan thi isliye gusse me mooh se nikal gaya unke. Chalo ab udhar mooh karo aur main apni jagah aaya.", Arjn unhe baah se dhakelta hua palatne ka bol kar wapis apni jagah aa gaya. Bas wo ab gehri neend soye Niketan ke bilkul kareeb tha jaise usko apni chhaya me surakshit rakh raha ho. Chehra saaf karke Anamika bhi apne bete ko sehlati hui pehle toh khamosh rahi fir dhimi awaaj me boli.
"Maalish poori nahi hui na toh aag beqabu ho gayi hogi.", Arjun toh sann he reh gaya ye sunn kar lekin is halki roshni me wo saaf dekh pa raha tha ke chachi ko uska ye sab karna jara bhi pasand na aaya.
"Aapko kaise pata, kamra toh band tha aur aap toh idhar thi jab main mere kamre me gaya tha?"
"Khidki toh band nahi thi na? Hawa ke liye khuli chhodi hogi par hawa ke sath utni jagah se aankhen bhi andar ja sakti hai. Besharmi se pade the na uske niche?"
"Oh toh isliye Aanchal didi ko bheja tha aapne khud aane ki jagah? Aur badi didi se sidha 'uske', kya baat hai Mrs Anamika Sharma, ye sanskar toh haweli ke nahi hai. Galat sangati me toh nahi rehne lagi aap aajkal.", Arjun ke makhol se is baar toh chachi ne uske kandhe par nakhoon he gada diye.
"Besharmi khud karo aur galat mujhe thehrao. Bagiche me khud ghumo aur khuraak leke bhi wo jaaye par baaki sewa main karu. Nahi baat karni mujhe tumse koyi."
"Batua aur ghadi aapke paas hai aur unke sath main bhi yaha. Pagal wo ho rahi hai jabki main yaha aapko manane me laga hu.", Arjun ne badi saavdhani se Niketan ko sath chipkaye hue dusri taraf kiya toh Anamika khud-ba-khud uski is taraf wali baah par sar tikati hui leit gayi.
"Ab raat bhar hilna bhi nahi, yahi saja hai tumhari. Dohre charitra waale dhongi."
"Sachmuch yahi main kehna chahta tha lekin sanskaar beech me aa gaye. Ab lagta hai ki jaise main apne kamre me hu.", Kamre wali baat Arjun ne bahot he dhimi kahi thi jo Anamika ne fir bhi suni. Uske peit se hath gujar kar wo apne bete ko bhi jaanch rahi thi jo Arjun se chipka ab behtar sthiti me tha.
"Ab jyada atche se lagega ki tum apne kamre me ho.", Aankhen moondne se pehle Anamika ne bas halke se Arjun ke hontho aur gaal ke madhya chumban diya aur waise he so gayi. Arjun baat maanta hua bina hile ek taraf maa aur dusri taraf bete ko mefooj kiye khuli aankhon se fir wahi sapna dekhna laga jisme wo swapan-sundari thi, dohre charitra wali.
Aur wo Bharat bhai jaise aasmaan ke paar dekhne wala vyakti tha. Aasman ne bhi apna dohra charitra dikha diya unke anumaan ko sahi thehra kar. Bahar halki bunda-baandi shuru ho chuki thi.
