awesome update hai Enigma bhai,Update 202 (2)
Pariksha Purv
"Ye mall-yudh ka akhada nahi hai musafir. Ye snayu-tantra aur panch indriyon ke pashchaat tumhare paas atirikt kya hai, iski pariksha hai. Is dhooni me swayam panchtatvo ke sath aneko tap ka phal shamil hai hamare karmath shishyo evam guruo ka. Siddheshwar urf Sreedhar apne pratham shikshakaal me ek lalakvaan aur samarpit shishya tha hamare guru ji ka. Ab isme utarne se pehle gurudakshina swaroop wo bhent karo jisne tumhe yaha ki raah dikhai.", Aghori baba Vajranand apne jataayen samet kar sahi se sar par bandhne ke baad lohe ke trishul ko liye khandhar ke peeche bane is akhadenuma sthaan par chale aaye jaha unke dono pramukh shishya akhaade ke bhitar ja chuke the. Arjun sirf kamar par wahi ek vastra lapete the jo langot se kahi adhik chota tha. Ab jis gurudakshina ki Vajranand ji ne baat kahi thi Arjun sar hilata hua apne vastro ki taraf badh gaya. Patloon ki jeb se wahi sikka bahar nikala jisne ghor andhkaar me Arjun ka maarg prashast kiya tha.
"Aapko yakeen tha ki ye mere paas hoga baba?", Arjun ne ghutna modd kar jis tarah se ye sikka unke sammukh kiya tha wo is tarah muskuraye jaise Arjun se abhi sahi parichaya prapt na hua ho. Filhal unhone bas wo dakhshina apne hath me lete hue aankhe band karke us sikke ko tatola.
"Ye us hatthi raja ke bhi paas tha musafir jo sahi 51 baras pehle prabhu ko lalkaarne aa pahucha tha. Aseem bal, krodh aur peeda se funfkarta wo insaan swami Bhootnath ke us bhujang samaan tha jo ve swayam he shaant kar sakte hai apne gale me haar ki tarah dharan karke. Pehle waha kapaat the jinhe apni thokar se dhwast karte hue wo samadhan ki jagah is jagah ko he mitana chahta tha. Gurudev ke maatra halke prahaar se wo bhoomi par gira toh chakshu khulne he the. Yaha koyi kisi ka anisht nahi karta aur aisa sochna bhi samast tapasya vyarth karna hai. Ye mudra (sikka) uske hath se he giri thi jisko dikha kar wo aise sawaal kar raha tha aise swami bhi uske gulaam ho. Jawaab kaise mil sakta tha? Parantu yahi prateek hai Siddheshwar aur is sthal ke sath uske ateet me bann kar toote rishtey ka.", Arjun bade gor se sab sunn raha tha aur dono vyakti is golakar ghere ke bahar aa ruke toh Arjun ne bhitar jaane se pehle ye ekmatra sawaal poocha.
"Iski he wajah se wo raaj-darbar me sewak bann paya tha na baba?"
"Tab ye sthal itna khamosh aur viraan nahi hota hai musafir. Aghor tap par jaane se pehle vyakti ko is sansaar me apna samajik yogdaan dena aavashyak hota tha. Maansik, sharirik aur aatmik shiksha ke pehle charan purn karne ke baad inko samaaj me apni ruchi anusaar prakat karne ke liye bhraman karna padta tha. Shiksha ka sahi auchitya toh yahi hai ki isko grehan karne ke baad vistaar karna. Siddeshwar ki ruchi gehre evam ansulhjhe vishayo par adhik rehti thi parantu sharirik shiksha me bhi uske samaan naam-matra he shishya the gurudev ke. Swayam maharaja ne uska chayan rann-niti aur bhed-chakra ke jaankar hone ki wajah se darbar me aantarik suraksha pramukh ke taur par kiya tha. Kuch varsh baad wo wapis lauta jaisa ki anivarya tha parantu 8 baras baad wo jab nikla toh darbaar me pad-aaseen hone ke sath maharaja ka niji sewak bann baitha. Ye mudra dharohar hai is sthal ki aur ab Siddeshwar ka yaha se koyi rishta nahi raha iske wapis lautne par. Jao aur jaisa humne kaha tha apni khaasiyat pehchano wo is dhooni me rami hogi. Samarth hue toh swayam wo tumhe dhoond legi. Aatma tum bhi abhed ho musafir lekin wo dono aksar hume hairaan karte rehte hai apni lagan aur tapasya se.", Jiwa baba ne Arjun ke charno aur hatho ko ek baar fir se nehlaya jab uske kadam us pavitra raakh par jaane lage the.
"Gurudev ye abhyaas pariksha niyamanusaar nahi dikh rahi.", Ghere se bahar Jiwa Vajranand ji se aashankit swar me poochne lage jab bhitar jaane par Arjun ne us akhaade ki saleti-kaali raakh dono hatho me masalne ke baad pehle Taaraknath ki taraf mall-yudh ka aahvaan kiya. Samaan kadd lekin Taaraknath ka jism kuch jyada he bhaari aur chuada tha apne pratidwandi ke ispaat se maansal chharhare sharir ke saamne.
"Tumhe abhi manan pariksha uttrin karni hai Jiwa aur uske baad tum Tarak aur Kapil ke samkaksh ho paoge. Parantu ye jeev jo abhi tumhare saamne hai ye bhoot-saadhak hai, jo tum teeno ki shiksha me agla padaav hoga manan praiksha samapt karne ke pashchaat.", Bhitar dono daityakar jism aapas me daso ungliyan uljhate hue sharirik bal ki jaankari jutane me lage the. Kapileshwar panje modde ghutno ke bhaar bade dhyaan se dono par taktaki lagaye tha.
"Bhoot-saadhak? Gurudev ye toh sadharan musafir hai beshak laalach aur ghamand se pare ek majboot yuvak. Ye bhoot-saadhak kaise ho sakta hai wo bhi bina shiksha ke aur itni kam-umar me.?", Taaraknath ne apna bal badhate hue Arjun ki bhujayen peeche karni shuru kar di thi. 50 inch ke laghbhag chauda unka seena ab jyada bhayankar dikh raha tha aur wahi Arjun ke jism ki har maanspeshi apna akaar badhati lagi. Jald he Arjun ka ek paanv peeche hone ke sath agla ghutna jhukne laga tha jaise Taaraknath uspar haavi ho chuke ho.
"Swayam jaan jaoge Jiwa. Wo Taarak ki kshamta jaan chuka hai lekin Taarak ke sath hum swayam nahi dekh pa rahe ki is musafir ke adhbhutt bal ka strot kya hai. Wo jo iske bhitar hai ya us se adhik bhitar jinse bhoot bhi saadh liya hai. Baaye kandhe me adhik bal badh raha hai jo aksar kamjor hota hai. Ye Taarak se he khel raha Jiwa, usko kasht nahi dena chahta.", Bhitar sachmuch Taaraknaath ab ugra hone ke sath poora dum jhonk chuke the, aankhon me laali atyadhik badh kar bhayankar swaroop dikha rahi thi in baba ka aur yahi Arjun ne apni urja ka bejod namuna dikha diya jab khud par chhaaye pratidwandi ko uske he jor lagane ki disha me apne jism ke upar se gujaar kar peeth ke peeche fenk diya. Taarak iske liye bhi tyaar tha jo palti khaane ke bawjood peeth na lagne dete hue panjo aur hath ke bal bhoomi par aise khade hue jaise unchai se girne ke bawjood ek surakshit bilaav.
"Adhbhutt. Taaraknath ji aksar hume 100 ki ganana se pehle parajit kar dete hai gurudev lekin ye inka sabse behtar suraksha daav tha jabki musafir toh jaise prabhavheen hai unke bal se."
"Ye gunn le raha hai Jiwa, ye Taarak ke gunn grehan kar raha hai. Is musafir ki najar Taarak se pehle uske girne aur sambhalne ki disha me thi. Dekho ab jism garma raha hai musafir ka. Ab ye taqat pradarshan karega.", Bhitar thik waisa he hua tha. Arjun Taaraknath ke sath thik prarambh wali sthiti me hatheli se hatheli bhidaye jor laga raha tha lekin is baar bhujayen pratidwandi ki peeche ja rahi thi. Arjun ko jyada samay nahi laga Taaraknath ke ghutne bhoomi se lagwane me lekin tabhi ek taraf baithe Kapileshwar baaj ki tarah Arjun par jhapte aur kamar ki taraf se pakad kar usko poori taqat se peeche uchaal diya. Wo gira lekin thik waise he jaise Taaraknath sharir ko palti khilane ke baad panjo aur hath ke bal bhoomi par santulan bana gaye the. Ab saamne 2 pratidwandi the aur Arjun ke bhitar bhi toh 2 he the jisme se abhi tak ugra swaroop toh bahar aaya he nahi tha.
"Ye atyadhik prashikshit hai parantu itni c aayu me gurudev?"
"Kuch shiksha janam se he hum sath liye aate hai Jiwa aur is musafir ka abhi tak ka jiwan saral nahi prateet hota hume. Dukh, peeda, partyaag aur akelepan ko kam-umar se he apna shatru na bana kar un par vijay prapt ki hai isne. Ek se adhik aatmik guruo ke saayen me raha hai parantu bhoot-saadh sakne ke liye toh mahirsh-yogi he sarvopari hai. Jitna humko gyaat hai pichle 25 baras me humne kisi mahirsh yogi ke baare me nahi suna jo samaaj me sewaniyukt ho. Adhbhutt..", Apni baat beech me he rokte hue unhone wo drishya dekha jaha Kapileshwar se saamna karte Arjun ko uski peeth se jakadte hue Taarak ne uchalne ki jagah jameen se uthate hue ek taraf patakhni di. Hua fir ummeed se viprit jaha Taarak swayam peeth ke bal us raakh me gire the, Arjun aur Kapileshar ke jism sath he uthne ki wajah se aur unki bagal me Kapileshwar. Dono ke madhya baitha Arjun apni ungli par raakh mal raha tha, dard ki wajah se.
"Ye abhyaas nahi kar raha gurudev. Aur ab aap he sikhaye isko.", Dono apna josh aur gussa bhula kar muskurate hue uth khade hue. Arjun ke chehre par atche se wo mulayam raakh paut di thi Taaraknath ji ne, gussa jo shaant kar diya tha unhe thak kar Arjun ne.
"Ye mudra aur kamandal pakdo Jiwa. Aaj akhade me sachmuch he bada jeew chala aaya hai jisne pehle toh hume dhyaan-shivir se bahar bulwa liya aur aaj 10 baras baad abhyaas ghere me. Dekhe jara ab ye musafir khelta hai ya ye swayam ki pariksha lena chahta hai.", Jiwa ke sameep he ab baaki dono baba aa baithe the. Vajranand ji ko jaise jal-abhishek ki jarurat nahi thi aur wo sadhe kadmo se Arjun ke sammukh aa khade hue. Ye lambai me asadharan hone ke sath he kahi adhik tejasvi aur thehre paani se shaant the. Apni seedhe hath ki hatheli se unhone jhukte hue Arjun ko mallyudh jaari karne ka ishara diya aur inse hatheliya milate he Arjun ko aisi garmahat mehsoos hui jaise uski pakad me koyi garam kiya hua chatak patthar he aa gaya ho. Chehre se shaant lekin itna atyadhik sharirik bal wo bhi umar ke aise padaav par. Bahar baithe hue teeno saadhu bahot gehraai se is pal ko dekh rahe the jaha pehli baar unhe Arjun ke mastak par bal padte dikhe aur unke gurudev apna bal badhate hue inch dar inch Arjun ko peeche dhakelte ja rahe the. Wo peeche khisakna ek samay par ruka aur ab jaise dono he dhurandaro ke paanv inke sharirik bal ki shamta se raakh me dabte gaye.
"Kapileshwar ji aap dekh pa rahe hai jo hum dekh rahe hai? Aisa lagta hai jaise 2 bahot badi urja ke strot apne sthaan par theharne ke baad uska prabhaav bahar gira rahe rahe. Gurudev nischit roop se is baalak se kahi atyadhik saksham hai aur wo iski adhbhutt urja ke antim kann tak jaan ne ka prayatan kar rahe hai. Parantu ye musafir yuwak itna kamtar bhi nahi hai.", Taaraknath ki baat sunn kar Jiwa ne bhi apni sehmati di parantu Kapileshwar ji toh naa me sar hilate hue saamne he dekhte rahe.
Arjun ke peeth par ubhar aayi asankhya sooksh paseene ki boonde bata rahi thi ki usko bhi aaj he apni samast shmata ka pata chalne wala hai. Chehra purn-tarah se apne se paun foot lambe aur aseem taaqat se bhare us shaksh par tha jiske chehre par jyada bhaav nahi the lekin mastak par bal toh padne shuru ho chuke the. Jis tarah se Arjun ka daaya paanv behad he dhime prabhaav se unki aur badh raha tha, thandi raakh me se maano halka jwalan dhuan sa uthne laga. Is samay me Arjun ke seene ke kataav aur ubhaar atyaadhik phool kar uske jism ka pehli baar itna utkrisht varnan karte dikhe jaisa na kabhi kisi vyayamshala me hua tha aur na kisi mukable me. Varjranand ji ke panje ne bhi Arjun ki taraf thik waise he rukh kiya jaise diyasalaai haule se ragadti hui jalne se pehle dhuan karti ho. Dono ki peshani se paseene ki motti motti bunde rakh me tapak kar girti hui waisa drishya dikha rahi thi jaise baarish ki ruki hui bunde thehre hue paani par girti usko chhalkane lagti hai.
"Yaaaaahhhhhh..", Aur is udhghosh se bahar wale teeno ke sath sath swayam Vajranand ji ke bhi kadam ukhad gaye aur unhone dekha wo bhoot jisko Arjun saadh chuka tha. Lekin ye pehle sirf muskurata tha apne dushman se bhidte samay. Aaj isne visphot karte hue Vajranand ko ek taraf ghuma kar aise uchaal diya tha jaise maahir palledar kanak se bhari sawa mann ki bori ko trolly me fenkte hai, sahi jagah. Raakh par 15 feet dur jaa kar girte Vajranand ji ke paanv tak jaise swayam ke wajan aur raakh ki ragad me jhulas uthe the. Unka ek hath jameen par aur dusra thik us trishool par tha jisko bhitar aane se pehle unhone ghere ke bahar gaada tha. Chehre par bhaiye aur hairaani ke sath krodh tha us tapasvi ke saamne jo abse pehle baraf manind shant tha. Trishul ki madhya nok se ungli par chira lagate hue Vajranand ne pehli boond pavitra raakh par tapkaai, dusri apne lalaat par lambvat tilak ki tarah ek kaan se dusre kaan ki disha me aur hath ko jhatakte hue kisi kushal dhaavak ki tarah Arjun ki taraf lapke. Wo sachmuch jaise ek buchaal he tha, 7 feet se lamba bhuchaal khuli jataaon ke sath us taraf daudta jaha unhe tinke ki tarah uchalne wala dridh bargad ke vriksh sa khada tha. Ye sab second ke aadhe hisse me hua tha jisko sadharan chakshu toh darj he na kar paate apne maastishk me.
"Aaahhhh... Bholenath..", Arjun ke daaye kandhe par majboot mushti prahaar karne me safal rehte hue bhi Vajranand swayam ko bacha na sake is musafir ke jordaar pratiuttar se. Raakh ka gubaar sa uth gaya tha poore akhaade me aur usme lipte antmim chhor par ja ruke Vajranand ji ne ghutno ke bal hote hue hath khade kar diye.
"Shaant musafir.. Shaant. Tumhe tumhari manzil par pahuchne se koyi nahi rok sakta.. Koyi bhi niyam se chalne wala maharathi tumhare sammukh nahi tik sakta. Hume abhaas ho gaya tha jab tumne waha khade reh kar hume 2 baar vibhinn vyaktitva se dekha tha. Humne bharsak koshish ki usko sakshaat dekhne ki parantu asafal rahe. Humne bas shamta jaanchne ke liye tumhe maansik kasht pahuchane ka dussahas kiya, uske liye maafi chahte hai.", Vajranand ji ke aisa kehte he Arjun ghutno ke bhaar dhamm se raakh ki satah par gir gaya. Hath uske jude hue the aur uske baad sar bhi raakh pe rakhta wo apni galti ki kshama maang raha tha, beawaaj. Vajranand ji uth kar ladkhadate hue uske kareeb aaye aur uska chehra uthate hue bade sneh se sar sehalya jaha sirf aansu aur raakh thi.
"Saamne toh koyi 51 baras se he nahi aaya phir ab kaise mumkin hai baba? Main Arjun Sharma unhi ka vanshaj hu jo aapke dwaar par talwar liye madad ki aas se aaye the, bas unhe madad maangni nahi aati hogi. Main jaha bhi andhere me wo toote dhaage dhoond kar kisi disha me badhne nikalta hu, aage aur andhkar milta hai jaha pehla dhaga toota hua aur aur aage ek aur naya sira jiska parinaam bhi pehle wale jaisa. Bahot bojh badh chuka hai is antarmann par lekin main haarna nahi chahta. Meri maa ne hamesha yahi kaha hai ki sahi gyaan he tooti kadiyon ko mila sakta hai. Aap jodd sakte hai un bikhre hue adhure dhaago ko?", Vajranand ji ke shishya jaha pehle uttejit thi ab wo alag he dard mehsoos kar rahe the jab ye ladka unke guru ki jaangh par sar tikaye pasra hua tha.
"Hum toh sirf khudko parmatma se jodne ki koshish me lage rehte hai putra parantu tumhari maa ne jo kaha hai aur jis shradha se hamare paas aaye uska anaadar hum aghori bhi nahi kar sakte. Bholenath aur maa he toh sarvesarva hai. Hume bhaan hua tha ke tum us vriksh ki he majboot shaakh ho jo yaha uttejjana me chala aaya tha aur wo suraksha-prehri apne kartavya me ye bhool kar baitha ki samadhan ke liye samarpan jaruri hai. Isliye toh wo haar gaya aur tum in dhaago tak pahuch gaye. Jisne tumhe aatmik gyaan aur apni dusri pehchaan ko saadhna sikhaya kya usne madad nahi ki?"
"Unka vachan sirf ek daayre ke raksha me aur mujhe sanwarne tak he simit hai baba. Khud ko maine nahi mere he behtar sanskaran ne sadha hai. Wahi mujhe sikhati hai hai bahar se jyada andhkar bhare apne antarman se jodd banana. Uske sammukh toh main aaveshit ho bhi jau toh sparsh matra se nishkriya ho jata hu. Is manzil par wo sath nahi baba hai, ye meri virasat hai sirf meri."
"Dhanya ho prabhu. Is bache ko virasat bhi saunpi gayi toh athaah dukh aur vedna se bhari. Itni jung toh 9 maas garbh me rehne wala navjiwan bhi nahi ladta jisko duniya me laane ke sabhi virudh ho siwaye maa ke. Tumhara uddeshya wahi Shridhar urf Siddheshwar ke anushthaan ke kaale itihaas se juda hai beta?", Arjun ne aankhen jhapka kar haami bhari. Chehre par wo raakh aansuo ke wajah se jamm kar gehri ho gayi thi. Ab aansu bhi thamm chuke the aur wo aag bhi.
"Taaraknath, putra ko gyaan dene ka waqt hai aur tum swayam ashaant ho. Garbh sangam sthal nahi le jaoge apne mitra ko? Arjun, hum dhaage nahi jodd sakte kyonki humara bahari duniya se judaav simit hai. Ye tumhari khandit virasat hai jisko kaayam tumhe he karna hoga. Khaali hath nahi bhejenge hum apne is mohak musafir ko. Us anushthaan se kisi vishipt tantrik aur aayojak ko kuch haansil nahi hota, siwaye haivaniyat aur asuri pravarti ke. Tumhe jo haansil hai wo phal toh aise insaan se he mil sakta hai jo is anushthaan ko purntaya ki dehleej par khandit kar chuka ho. Tum aisi baaton par vishwas nahi karoge parantu jis tarah bure karam vansh badhne ke sath dosh aage badhate hai waise he punya karmo ka phal bhi ateet se bhavishya tak us sahi vyakti ko hansil hota hai jiska judaav raha ho. Ye dhaga hum nahi suljha sakenge, maa madad karengi. Ho sakta hai ye hamara vichar sanshaya maatra ho lekin insaan tum asadharan ho jo virasat me kuch amulya gunn bhi liye hai. Taarak, tumhe kuch shanka toh nahi hamare is musafir par?", Arjun ko samjhane ke sath ek nayi uljhan bhi de daali thi Vajranand ji ne jo kahi se bhi pareshani wali nahi thi. Taaraknath ji bhi ghere ke bhitar aa chuke the.
"Toh kya wo anushthaan ateet me karne ki koshish satya hai gurudev? Humne sirf ye suna tha parantu is baalak ki shamta suchak hai ki ye bhi prehri hai aur peedit bhi. Tumne humare sath krida-abhaas kiya hai isliye mitra samaan ho hamare parantu aaj chintit mehsoos kar rahe hai swayam ko.", Taaraknath dwara bhoomi par baithe Arjun ka sar dularna bhi alag he drishya tha.
"2 baar ye pryaas hua hai Taarak, Siddheshwar itna gyaan nahi rakhta tha is anushthaan ke baare me aur prathm ghatna ke samay toh wo duniya me he nahi aaya tha. Sarvpratham aisa dussahas jisne kiya tha uska antt thik karam anusaar he hua parantu wo asur 99 akshat garbh aur taruni us anushthan me bhent kar chuka tha antt samay tak. Antim aahuti garbhvati tanuja ki di jaani thi aur fir bholenath evam maa jagjanani ki bhi sehan-shamta khatam ho gayi. Aayojak ke pahuchne se pehle he tanrtik Mrikswami aur uske 3 sahayko ke sar wahi garbh me dhad se alag kar diye swayam us garbhvati tanuja ne jisko murchhit karke dhokhe se waha laya gaya tha. Vann me sthit us anushthaanshala aur garbhgrah ko swayam us devi ne agni ke supurd kar diya tha jisko ye nar-pishaach sirf ek kamjor garbhvati stree samajhne ki bhool kar baithe the.", Khamoshi se ye katha sunta Arjun apne kaano par vishwas karne ke liye khudke ke sar pe thappad jadne laga toh uska hath Vajranand ji ne hanste hue pakad liya.
"Gurudev agar anushthan antim aahuti par khandit kiya jata hai toh uske dand swaroop aisa phir se dohrana padta hai usi aayojak ko. Sehasra-Vipaash garbh anushthaan ke khandit hone par pachasvi aahuti me tantrik ki jagah aayojak... aayojak apni nasl ke sath kukarm karne ke baad bali deta hai. Aur ye mamla us ek he ..", Taaraknath ko ishare se beech me he Vajranand ji ne khamosh karwa diya.
"Kuritiya aksar aise he barkarar rakhi jaati hai. Inke niyam aise banaye gaye hai ki inku punravriti na ho toh dosh aur patan ka darr aayojak ke dimaag me baitha kar usko todd diya jata hai. Mrikswami ka wo eklauta chela he Siddeshwar ka guru bana tha, tantra ki duniya me. Gurudakshina swaroop usne Siddeshwar ko yahi anushthan un aayojak ke liye dohrane ka vachan liya aur dusht toh hamesha he aise avsaro ke liye tayaar rehte hai. Parantu is baar samay pehle jaisa nahi tha aur nayi peedhi me kuch sajag prehri bhi the. Jaisa Arjun ne kaha 57 bhent ke pashchat he vighna me vighneshwar aa padhare. Wahi jo hamare dwaar par aaye the tantriko ki talaash aur apne sawaalo ke jawaab lene. Sankhya 57 thi ye jyada iska hume bhaan nahi lekin dono vyaktiyon me marmik sanvednaye aur dard bhara tha un bekasoor deviyon ka jinhe tarun jiwan poora karne se pehle he nasht kar diya gaya. Aksar istarah ki muthbhed ke parinaam bahot bure hote hai aur waisa hua bhi hoga, yakinan bahot se apne khoye honge. Yahi toh virasat me mila hai is dhool me sane kamal ko. Ab tum isko hamari hasiyat mutabik garbh-gyaan dene ki koshish karo Taarak, ham dhyaan ki tayaari karte hai. Musafir jaane se pehle apni shiksha ka pramaan patra lete jana.", Vajranand ji inse pehle he utha kar chal diye aur unke dono chele bhi peeche. Arjun ke kandhe par hath rakhe aur dusre hath me trishul uthaye Taaraknath ji is dopehar ke aakhir samay me ghane vriksho ki kataar se judi nadi tak aa pahuche. Arjun ke kuch kehne samajhne se pehle he unhone trishul wahi jameen par gaad kar Arjun ki aankho par angrakha baandh diya.
"Chalo, garbh me kuch dikhaai nahi deta. Mehsoos karna padta hai aur yaha par hum tumhari mata ka sthaan le rahe hai, jagatjanani ki ijajat se.", Chhapaak ke tej awaaj ke sath wo Arjun ko jakde hue vishaal chattan ki tarah gehre paani ma gir gaye, haan thik jaise gira jata hai sharir ko dheela chhod kar. Ye antim sabak tha Arjun ki shiksha ka uski aanewali pariksha purv.

"Maa ji, aapke aur pita ji ke kapde rakh diye hai 2 din ke hisaab se aur Roshni ki bhi packing ho gayi hai. Sath aur kaun ja raha hai? Shankar bhai sahab ya bade jeth ji?", Krishna ji ne istree karne ke baad apne saas-sasur ke kapde ek attachi me laga diye the. Pehle jaha sirf aana jana he karna tha ab ye log Roshni aur Anjali ko bhi unke ghar chhodne ja rahe the. Bahot kuch waha bhi dekhna tha aur Roshni aise he toh yaha aa gayi thi. Beti ka college aur ghar sambhalna jaruri tha. Kuch fainsle liye gaye the jin par wahi vichar kiya jana tha. Rameshwar ji toh apni bhabhi ko lene gaye the aur ab wapis lautne wale he the.
"Komal ko bol de Krishna, 2 jodi kapde wo bhi rakh legi raat me pehan ne walo kapdo se alag. Leke toh main us nakchadhi ko jaane wali thi jo 3 baar phone milane ke baad bhi santusht nahi hu. Tere pita ji ki ek khuraak nikaal de baaki sath he rakh de kapdo ke. Shankar kuch keh ke gaya tha ke kab tak aayega aaj? Inder ka toh phone aa gaya tha ki wo der raat ka laut aayega.", Kaushalya ji mann me asankhya vichar chal rahe the. Unhe haweli se pata chala tha ke Arjun college wale kaam se nikla tha subah par Arjun ne yaha kuch aur bataya tha. Ab 4 bajne wale the aur uski koyi khabar tak nahi thi. Wo laparwaah nahi tha fir bhi Kaushalya ji ki uske sath daadi paute se alag khaas mamta bhi thi aur unke liye wo hamesha se munna he tha, bailbudhi.
"Jeth ji toh hai he maa ji ghar. Shankar bhaiya chahe aaj na aaye ya Naren ko deri ho jaaye, aap log toh subah he nikalne wale hai. Waise Komal se behtar aap Ritu ko he le jaaye. 2 din ki toh baat hai aur ye ladka usko jaanboojh ke pareshan karta hai toh aise me wo padhne se rahi."
"Na Krishna, Komal jaayegi toh Ritu vyast rahegi aur Arjun kar lega thodi der tak phone. Usko chain kaha milta jitne Ritu se pravachan na sunn le. Inder ya Shankar me se koyi sath chalta toh jyada behtar rehta, pata nahi kyun lekin lag raha hai ki koyi anisht na hone paaye waha. Baaki Satish ja he raha hai toh dekha jaayega. Rekha ko neend ki dawa di thi tumne dopehar ke khaane ke baad? Wo pagli raat ko so nahi rahi aajkal, Ritu ne bhi bataya aur maine khud bhi dekha 3:45 hue the subah jab main jaagi thi aur Rekha kuch padhne me lagi hui thi Ritu ko bagal me sulaye.", Kaushalya ji ki chinta bhi vyarth na thi. Aaj wo bhi samay se kuch pehle he uthi thi aur unhone dekha tha Rekha ke kamre ka aadha khula darwaja aur lamp ki roshni me kuch padhti hui apni bahu ko.
"Wo aisi he toh hai maa ji. Bolti nahi hai lekin kal se kuch pareshan hai wo. Arjun ne phone kiya toh kehalwa diya ki araam kar rahi hai, kal baat kar legi. Uski bechaini dikhti nahi lekin itne baras sath rehte hue usko atche se samajhti hu. Toh aap log Roshni ko ghar pahuchane ke baad aayenge ya rukna hoga kuch waqt?"
"Nahi kal toh sara samay inhone gaanv me rehne ka kaha hai aur parso subah bakhat se Roshni ki taraf nikal lenge. Purnima alag bechain si hai jaise Rajeshwari ne bataya aur ye bhi raat ko aajkal sone ka naatak karte rehte hai. Ghar ke ladke pehli baar sabhi baahar aaj aur ye bhi. Yahi sab soch kar mujhe bhi inhone bechaini de di. Arjun tujhse toh khul kar baat karta hai Krishna. Kahi wo kisi aur he masle me toh nahi juta hua?", Is baar toh Krishna ji ke paas swayam jawaab na tha chahe Arjun pehle unhe sab bata bhi deta tha, jitni jaankari honi chahiye.
"Nahi maa ji us se shaadi ke mahol me baat he kaha ho saki lekin inhone chinta jataai thi ki Arjun jo karne ja raha hai wo sirf dargaah wale mele ki sadharan si kushti nahi hai. Aur iski ghoshna Arjun ne jis tarah se karwaai hai matlab wo khud ye baat jitni dur ho sake utni dur pahuchana chahta tha. Mere papa ko toh kisi ne nahi bataya aur na Kundan chacha ko, lekin aap socho ki unhe ye baat pata chal gayi. Ho sakta hai apne he jaankar ne bataai ho aur aadhat-kisani ke kaam me ek dusre ki taraf bhi vyapari dost hai par wo aisa kyun kar raha hai aur Naren kabhi chintit nahi hote aur agar ho toh fir wo uske liye prayaas karte hai. Is baar baat bhi Arjun ki hai toh wo is sabse dur apne he business me vyast hone ka dikhawa kar rahe hai."
"Usko pata hai na ke tere pita ji hai Arjun ke sath toh wo aur uska bhai kyon beech me padne lage. Lekin akhade me toh bas 16 gaanv ke chune hue khiladi he bhaag le sakte hai na aur Arjun Maalti ke saand jaise bete ko dhool chata sakta hai toh koyi thoda tagda bhi hua toh wo sambhal lega. Ye binawajah ki garmi kyon badha rakhi hai in sabhi ne? Mujhe aur tension de rahe hai.", Kaushalya ji ne apni dawa ka dibba bhi Krishna ji ko thama diya, attachi me rakhne ke liye.
"Ye bata rahe the ki raj-darbar ke pehle wale mulajimo ke sath vartmaan ke bhi akhaade me Arjun ko chunoti de sakte hai, gaanv walo se jeetne ke baad. Waha jab koyi hai he nahi toh ye pareshan kyun hai? Keh rahe the ke agar koyi shahi pariwar ke he rishteydar aa nikle toh Arjun ke jeetne ke bawjood baat badh sakti hai. Wo hai toh sirf gram-pramukh he. Haar ka badla kahi..."
"Bas kar beta aisa kuch nahi honewala. Wo Saundarya ke hath se khana kha raha hai ab aur Mahendra usko bhatije ke sath apne khaas dost ke roop me dekhta hai tabhi Vinod ko wo Nepal wale apne bade hotel ko dekhne bhej raha hai. Haan aisa ho sakta hai jo log raj-pariwar me sirf 3 chehro ko dekh kar kuch ahit karne ka soch rahe ho unhe Arjun ke roop me jariya dikh raha hoga. Aur us pavitra bhoomi par goli-hathiyaar toh dur, police tak ki manaahi hai. Akhade me jo aayega usko saamne se he mukabla karna padega aur Arjun ke kareeb uske dada daadi maujhood honge poore gaanv ke sath. Inder is maamle me jis wajah se darta hai wo ye chunoti nahi uska pyaar hai Arjun ke liye. Dekh lagta hai tere pita ji aur Purnima aa gaye.", Bahar gaadi ke bhitar aane ki awaaj ke sath he Krishna ji attachi band karti hui khadi hui toh Aarti aur Alka thoda samaan liye andar dakhil hui.
"Bhool gayi thi ki ye dono bhi haweli ghoomne gayi hai apne dada ke sath. Haan unki Lakshmi kuch kahe toh fir wo kaha mana karne wale. Motti tu bhi apni baari se bach ke nikal gayi thi iske sath?", Kaushalya ji ne Aarti ko chhedte hue kaha toh wo mooh banati hui unke saamne he dhamm se baith gayi. Wo har tarah Ritu jaisi he thi siwaye bhari hui jangho aur kuch ubhre hue gaalo ke. Lekin ye uspar janchte bhi the, punjabi jhalak dikhti thi masoom chehre par.
"Aise phere shuru karwaye hai Kaushalya ki ek din udhar toh agle din idhar. Krishna jara paani pila beti.", Purnima ji jab kamre me daakhil hui toh unke hath me wo taambe ka dhakkar laga kalash dekh Kaushalya ji ne achanak he baaki sabko jaane ka ishara diya. Paani unhone khud he stool par aundhe rakhe kaanch ke gilaas me bhar kar apni is sakhi ki taraf badha diya. Alka bhi mooh chidhati hui nikal gayi apni daadi ko jis par unhone khaas tavajjo na di. Rameshwar ji baithak me he kiwaad laga kar kapde badalne lag gaye the joote khol kar.
"Phere toh tere aise he lagte rahenge, ghar tera he hai ye. Par inke phere tu kyu lagwa rahi hai aaj? Kahi tu wahi karne ka toh nahi soch rahi jaisa mujhe lag raha hai.?", Kaushalya ji ne wapis gilas le kar ek taraf rakhne ke baad 2 takiye Purnima ji ki taraf badha diye. Kalash ab kaanch ki baari me unhone rakh diya tha.
"Pata nahi Kaushalya 2 din se bada ajeeb sa lag raha hai aur inki he baatein sunaai deti rehti hai jab jab hall me baithti hu aur ye asthiyaan najar aati hai. Jiwanbhar unhone kabhi ghar me koyi anuchit baat nahi kahi thi aur bacho ko toh jhidakne ki jagah bhadava de kar khush he rahkhte the. Fir unhone aisa kya keh diya tha devar ji ko ki ye aajtak visarjit na hui? Maine aaj pooch he liya toh kehne lage ki sath le chalo. Aur Umed ko bhi inhone phone mila diya ki chahe jitna bhi jaruri kaam kar raha ho kal subah gaanv me dikhna chahiye. Main udhar jaane ke liye hamesha tayaar rehti hu par tumhare devar waha sirf apne tau ji ke he paas jaate the milne. Kyun wo sab ab yaad aa raha hai kuch dino se? Shaadi me unke liye paath karne ke baad se toh nahi aisa ho raha?"
"Nahi bhabhi, Raghu kabhi aapse dur hua hai kya jo aap aisi wajah bata rahi hai? Wo toh aaj tak mujhe apne sath he mehsoos hota hai. Kal Saundarya ne he Umed se phone karke maafi maangi jab usko pata chala ke Raghuvir kis wajah se fir kabhi mehal nahi gaya tha. Mehal kya wo sehar he nahi gaya tha uske baad. Umed jaan gaya tha ke uske pita ka apmaan raja Balwinder se anjaane me ho gaya tha us haadse ki wajah se. Dono he peedit aur sadme me the wo ghatna hone ke baad. Raghu aur maine behan khoyi thi aur uska jaayaj sawaal tha iski kanooni jaanch karwane ka. Pita ji waha rehte toh waisa nahi hone wala tha lekin durghatna ho jaati hai aise halaat me. Rani Saundarya ne sab jaan ne ke baad swayam he Umed se kaafi der tak baat ki aur Umed ne maafi swikaar karte hue Raghu ki aakhiri itcha poori karne ka mujhe vaada diya hai. Umed bhi jaanta tha Raghu ki antim itcha lekin wo apni zidd par kaayam tha aur hume wo galat bhi nahi lagta.", Rameshwar ji ne toliye se chehra saaf karne ke baad kursi ki pusht par he taang diya.
"Aisi kya antim itcha thi jiski wajah se ye itne baras tak mukti na pa sake devar ji? Maine jab jab ye sawaal kiya aapne aur Umed ne ek jaisa jawaab diya ki sahi samay par aisa hoga, intjaar kar sakte hai bas."
"Itcha toh wo likh kar he gaya tha bhabhi jo aajtak mere pas surakshit hai. Main wajah toh nahi pooch saka waisa karne ki lekin Raghuvir ki ajeeb si chahat thi. Jaha wo paida hua tha, us ghar me diya jalane ke baad sabse badi santaan ke sath in asthiyon ko aap aur Rani Saundarya aadha wahi nadi me pravahit kar de aur aadha hissa main hamari khaas jagah par, jaha hum dono ka bachpan aur jawani ka khusnuma samay eksath gujra hai. Us jagah mere sath Arjun ko bhi jana hoga. Hain na kuch jyada he ajeeb si antim itcha bhabhi?", Purnima ji toh thandi he padd gayi thi ye sab sunn kar aur sabse jyada prabhav hua tha Rani Saundarya ke shamil hone wali baat ka.
"Meenakshi ji ka bhi prem-pyaar tha Saundarya ke sath aur Raghuvir bhai sahab ko lagta hoga ki us pariwar me sirf wahi baaki reh gayi hai toh unhe ye na lage ki unka pariwar nahi hai. Pita ji ne thoda bahot toh bataya tha mujhe bhi unki badi behan ke baare me. Purnima agar itne baras baad Umed aur Saundarya ke beech bhi sthti sudhar gayi hai toh aisa karne me harj he kaisa? Haan ye Arjun mere palle yaha bhi nahi pada.", Abhi wo baat aage karti us se pehle he phone ghanghana utha jiska number dekh kar he Rameshwar ji samajh gaye ki ye mehal se hai.
"Saundarya ka he phone lagta hai.", Handle uthate hue unhone apne aansu paunchti Purnima ji ko dekha. Kuashalya ji ne hath se he unhe baat khud karne ka kaha.
"Oye khote tu waha kya kar raha hai?", Awaaj sunte he unhone anumaanit jawaab diya kyonki ye Arjun tha dusri taraf. Uski baat ko sunte hue aage Rameshwar ji bas sar hilate rahe huh haan ke sath. Aur phir phone apni biwi ki taraf badha diya kal aane wali baat bata kar. Daadi paute me bhi khati-meethi naukjhok ke baad thoda vartalaap hua jisko Kaushalya ji ne laghu-viraam dete hue Ritu ko awaaj laga di. Ghanti bajne ke baad se he wo darwaje ke dusri taraf khadi thi aur apna naam sunn kar kuch pal intjaar kiya aur andar dakhil hote he shuru ho gayi.
"Haan daadi, main padh rahi thi. Kuch kaam tha kya?", Kaushalya ji samajh gayi ki ab baat Arjun ko daant-dapat kar he shuru hone wali.
"Ye Arjun ka phone hai tere liye, market me time lag gaya tha isko tere liye rajkumari wali dress lene me. Ab tujhse he baat karni hai, mujhe toh saaf keh diya ke ye mera time nahi hai uski didi ka hai."
"Huh..", Ritu phone unke hath se lete he baithak me ja ghusi aur agle 3-4 minute bas uske he barasne ki awaaj aati rahi jiske saamne Purnima ji bhi dard bhool kar muskura uthi. Arjun ko 10 minute se upar he lag gaye isko manane me aur jab phone wapis rakhne aayi toh is baar usko Purnima ji ne daboch liya.
"Tu badi bhi hogi ya hamesha wahi bachi rehne wali hai jiska khilona dikhaai na de toh milne par todd kar he hat-ti thi. Itna laayak ladka hai aur tera sabse jyada khayaal rakhta par tu toh us se seedhe mooh baat he nahi karti."
"Ohhh... daadi aap uski tarafdari kar rahi ho? 12 baje phone karna tha usne lekin dekho 5 baj rahe hai. Aur koyi masoom nahi hai wo, aapne sirf meri sunn kar aisa kaha. Mujhse jyada toh wo bol raha tha. Waise daadi aapne kaha ki mere liye phone kiya tha fir 18 minute baat kaise hui aur wo bhi ghar wala number nahi tha. Wo awaragardi karta ghoom raha hai lekin aap ulta usko bachati nahi thak rahi. Bau ji, aap bologe kuch?", Ritu ne kamar par hath rakhte hue ab Pandit ji ki taraf mooh kiya toh unhone hath he jodd diye
"Ek baar ke liye tere baap se baat kar sakta hu par mujhe baksh de Kaushalya junior. Arjun ko suna diya matlab mujhe bhi mere hisse ka mil gaya. Ye teri daadi dekh le kya karti fir rahi hai.?", Ab jaise unhe bhi mauka mil gaya tha apni biwi se badla lene ka. Kaushalya ji ne unke saamne he bataya tha ke Komal bhi aa rahi hai.
"Main bol raha tha ke 2 din se koyi farak nahi padta Ritu ki padhaai se par ye Komal ko leke ja rahi hai. Kehti hai ke tumhe thodi saja milni chahiye Arjun se aise baat karne ke liye.", Ritu unki baat sunti hui apni daadi ko he dekhe ja rahi thi.
"Na aag lagao bau ji, aisa maine kaha tha daadi ko jab inhone mujhse poocha tha. Haan Komal didi ka munna kamjor ho gaya hoga isliye wo pareshan hai toh unka jana samajh me aata hai. Dekh lo daadi ab aap he. Main chalti hu aur jo rajkumari wali dress usne li hai wo aapke liye li hai.", Ritu aankh maarti hui apni daadi ko hansa ke he gayi thi jabki Rameshwar ji toh apni jagah se he uth khade hue.
"Nikal liye thaanedar sahab. Chalo is case ki sunwaai toh wahi karenge aapke sath."
.
.
Jab Arjun mehal pahucha tha toh wo jaise kisi nayi urja se bhara tha. Chehre par khaas chamak jaise jaane kya he paa liya ho aur mann aaj itne dino baad purntaya shaant. Kumar Mahendra aur unke manager ke sath Vinod ki meeting me shamil hone ki jagah usne apna samay sirf Kumari Amrita ke kaksh me bitaya tha, halka nashta aur juice peene ke sath. Ek ghante se adhik samay waha bitane aur Kumar Mahendra ke faarig hone par he wo Goel ji wali mulakat aur charcha karke seedha gaanv ke liye nikal chala. Aaj Aghori Vajranand baba ne usko wo garbh gyaan de diya tha jis se agar sabhi dhaage nahi judd sakte the toh kuch mehtvapurn ghatnaye toh wo suljhane he wala tha. Kal ke baad wo masoom cheekhen uske kaan me nahi goonjne wali thi aur Arjun ne pavitra raakh me jaise kuch aur bhi prapt kiya tha jiska alag he tej tha nadi wali shiksha dharan karne ke baad aur us viraane se nikalne ke baad. Poore 15 minute baad wo thik usi jagah ja pahucha tha jaha usne Minakshi ki sahayata se Laali se mulakaat karni thi.
"Shukriya yaha aane ke liye Minakshi ji. Laali, kshama chahta hu aise aapko baat karne ke liye bulwaya. Bas thoda jaruri tha aur Minakshi ji ne aashvasan diya hai ki aap inki sabse khaas hai aur raajdar bhi. Aasha karta hu ki ye barkaraar rahega bhavishya me bhi.", Mehndi se bhi kuch gehre rang ka saaf suthra salwar kameej pehne, patli charhari Laali kahi se bhi us mahol ki jhalak nahi deti thi jaisa basti ke baare me Arjun ne suna tha. Minakshi jarur badli badli si lagne lagi thi kuch samay se aur ab wo aadhi baah ki dhili safed tshirt aur neele track pant ke sath apne khelne wale joote pehne thi. Baalo ko sirf ek rubber se sar ki taraf baandhe. Arjun ke kareeb aate he uski rangat kuch gulabi dikhti aur ek jhijhak jaise wo har baar apni baat kehte kehte khudko he rok leti ho. Laali jaise bataya gaya tha thik waisi he thi.
"Didi ne toh pehle he bata diya tha aur aap toh aise baat kar rahe hai jaise sarkari baabu ho. Laali poore 85 gharo ki khabar rakhti hai chahe jyada didi ke ghar he kyun na rehti ho. Waise aap he naye pradhaan ji ho na aur aapki jameen par he mere baba chowkidari karte hai. Isliye aapki har baat maan na toh mera bhi farz hai. Waise badi amma un nikhattu Mukandi kaka ko bematlab paise deti rehti hai aur mere baba ki pagaar 5 saal se 45oo hai, haan pradhan ji unhe kharchi aur anaaj sabji dete rehte hai. Wo bhale aadmi hai.", Arjun bas iski baatein sunta hua muskurata raha. Mann keh raha tha ke itni masoom si chanchal ladki ka upyog na kare par agar koyi ye kaam kar sakta tha bina shak toh bas yahi ladki thi.
"Minakshi ji, aap bhi gor se suniyega jo main kehne wala hu.", Arjun ne najre niche kiye badminton ka balla ghumati Minakshi ka dhyaan idhar dilaya toh wo ek kadam aage aati hui Laali aur Arjun ke kareeb he aa khadi hui.
"Laali, tumhari umar jaan sakta hu?"
"18 poore kiye hai maine mukhiya ji pichli diwali par. Ab batao agar umar uchit lagi hai toh.", Ye sachmuch tikhi he thi lekin saafdil.
"Haan baba ab tum sahi ho is kaam ke liye. Waise tumne bataya ki basti me 85 pariwar rehte hai toh abaadi hogi 250 ke aaspas?"
"Uhhh.. itne log toh sirf khet me he kaam karte hai mukhiya ji. Aur jyadatar unme aurate he hongi. 200 se jyada toh gaanv-shehar me mistri majduri aur chowkidari ke kaam karte hai. 15 kachi dukane chalate hai aur 150 se jyada bache toh yahi ke school me padhne aate hai. Fir wo sookhe talaab ki taraf baajigaro wali basti hai jisme 50 se jyada pariwar aur 400 log honge. Unke udhar jyada ladkiyan he hai aur jo ladke hai wo idhar kam he rehte hai. Matlab maan ke chalo ki 1000 log se jyada he honge, 8 tak toh main bhi padhi hu.", Laali umar aur ummeed se jyada he jaankari rakhti thi aur unse toh mukhya naam bhi bata diye the jinki dukaan, lohar aur aise he apne kaam the.
"Bahot atche. Mukandi kaka kaise aadmi hai?"
"Wo toh unko bhi nahi pata hoga ji. Daru pee kar toh talaab kinare bhi soye pade rehte hai kayi baar aur waise wo dalali khaate hai 50 se jyada majduro se jo uke liye kaam karte hai. Unki 3 betiya aur 1 chota bacha hai. Dusre wali beti ek mahine se apne nanihaal gayi hui hai jabki naani toh khud unke ghar rehti hai. Ab batao koyi kya jaan sakta hai aise aadmi ke baare me? Kuch khaas pata karna hai?"
"Kal toh tumhari kaam se chutti hogi mele ki wajah se? Koshish karna ye pata chale ki aisi kitni ladkiyan hai jo kuch mahine se apne rishteydaro ke yaha gayi hui hai. Agar tumhe pehle se he pata hai toh apni Minakshi didi ke ghar baith kar sabke naam kaagaj par likh lena. Filhaal humko yaha se alag alag nikalna hoga. Shaam ko yahi milenge thik is waqt. Aur tumhare baba ki tankhwah aaj se 2 hajaar badh gayi hai. Anaaj aur baaki sab bhi behtar milta rahega.", Laali ki toh badi badi aankhen khushi se aur bhi badi ho gayi jisko dekh Arjun ne ishare se usko shaant rehne ka kaha.
"Tumhari Minakshi didi jald he tumhe shehar ghumane wali hai. Ab shaant rehna aur ye baat apne baba se bhi matt kehna. Khud pradhan ji unhe bata denge. Ab jidar se aayi ho wahi se aap dono jao. Main yaha Jagtar bhaiya ki taraf ja raha hu.", Arjun dono ko dhanywaad kehta hua nikal chala toh bebaak si Laali ne ab Minakshi ko he lapak liya.
"Didi ye Arjun bhaiya toh bade bhale aadmi nikle aur aap itni chup kyo rahi? Dinbhar toh aapki amma ji aapko chup rehne ka bolti rehti hai aur mere sath bhi aap itna bata rahi thi, samjha rahi thi ki kaise baat karni hai kaise nahi. Dekho ye toh koyi akdu nahi dikhe jaise aapne bataya tha aur na he gusse wale."
"Haan thik hai thik hai. Lekin tum ya toh unhe bhaiya bulao ya fir mujhe didi."
"Oh.. Aap he didi thik ho fir toh. Bhaiya ajeeb lagta hai bolna mukhiya ji hai aakhir. Lekin wo aapko aap aur aap unhe aap bula rahi thi. Aise toh aapki mummy ji aur papa ji baat karte hai na didi?"
"Tu chal Laali yaha se aur jubaan teri kainchi jaisi chalti rehti hai. Mujhe bhi deri ho rahi hai aur tu bhi samay se pahuch ja.. Kaam saavdhani se, baat jimmewari hai Laali, teri didi ki ijjatt ka sawaal hai."
"Wo toh aap bhaiya ji ko he dena.. matlab mukhiya ji ko jinhe aap aur jo aapko aap kehte hai. Do not borry, Lalta can handle."
"Wo worry hota hai shaitaan aur chal ab tu idhar se ja, main chali khelne.", Minakshi apna sar jhatakti hui sharam ke maare jyada jwaab bhi na de saki lekin Laali ne uski atchi taang khinchai kar di thi jo batata tha ke inka paraspar pyaar jaat-paat aur ameeri-gareebi se kahi jyada he pare tha. Arjun inse kahi pehle haweli ke aangan me rani ko khada karke mooh hath dhone me laga tha. Vinod chacha bhi bahar he apne pita ke sath baithe hansi majaak karte hue apne bete se khelne me lage the aur inke liye chai Anamika chachi laayi thi. Devaki pashuo wali taraf Meena se kaam karwati hui jaise apne gusse ko khatam karne me juti hui thi. Aaj Arjun ko toliya dene Aanchal aayi thi aur uska ye daba chhupa hontho ka ishar dekh Arjun jhempta hua apne kamre me he chal diya kapde badalne.
"Aanchal, Arjun ke dhule hue kapde bister par rakhe hai. Wo pakda dena usko.", Anamika ki awaaj kitne dino baad he suni thi is haweli ke aangan ne. Wo doodh ki balti lene chal di thi Aanchal ko anjaane he ye badhiya avsar deti hui. Raat ko Jasleen se nibatna toh abhi dur tha, Arjun filhal Aanchal ke he changul me fans gaya tha apni chachi ki is bholi galti se.
Update 203
Raat Ka Humsafar
"Amrita, kab tak apne kaksh me rehne wali ho beti? Khana yahi bhijwa du?", Saundarya ji apni vyast dincharya aur karyo se faarig ho kar 7 baje lauti thi aur apne bete se baat karne ke baad thoda vishram aur vastra badal kar unhone samay dekha toh saadhe 8 baj rahe the. Aksar 8 baje unka aur dono bacho ka khaane ka samay nirdharit rehta tha lekin Mahendra apne samay se bhojan karke udhyaan me tehalne gaya tha aur Amrita ki sewika ne rani maa ko bataya ki choti rani toh dopehar se he apne kamre se bahar nahi nikli. Maa ko chinta hona laajmi he tha jis wajah se unhone Amrita ke kamre ke darwaje par dastak di, jo bhitar se band tha.
"Oh maa, mujhe bhookh nahi hai. Aap dinner kar lijiye, hum thoda sona chahte hai.", Amrita bhitar kamre me aundhi karwat liye thithil aankhon ke sath muskura rahi thi us tasvir ko apne chehre ke pas dekh kar. Aaj wo vastra badle he bister par thi jo thoda ast-vyast bhi tha jaise wo anginat karwat leti rahi ho bister pe. Saamne mej par rakha aadha khali juice ka gilaas jiske kinare par swayam Amrita ke hontho se utri coffee ke rang c laali lagi thi. Muskura kar apne chehre ke aage he baah karke wo jaise fir wahi sapne dekhne jaane wali thi jin par uski maa ki awaaj ne viraam laga diya tha lekin ye itna asaan bhi nahi tha.
"Darwaja toh kholo jara Amrita. Nahi hai khaane ka dil toh koyi baat nahi par baat sunogi hamari? Tumse salaah karna jaruri hai ek maamle me.", Ab Amrita bina he apni dasha dekhe khijti hui us disha me chal di darwaja kholne. Aur apni beti ko aise alsaya sa ast vyast dekhne ke baad rani maa ne wo alag sa noor bhi dekha jo is awastha me bhi Amrita ka abtak ka sabse khoobsurat chitran kar raha tha. Aisa unhone swayam kabhi nahi dekha tha lekin ye jo saamne thi aaj bilkul bhi anushasit-shaleen aur saleeke se nahi thi. Kurti kahi se upar niche, jagah jagah chunnat padi hui aur wo ghungrale kesh jinhe aksar Amrita bandhe rakhti thi ya dupatte-saree ke pallu se wo chhipe rehte the, aaj kahi chehre ke saamne se seene tak toh kahi dusre gaal par kandhe se aage. Chehre par aalas sirf najro me tha jabki chamak aur alag si surkhi.
"Dekhti rahogi maa? Aa jao andar ya rehne do aapke kamre me he chalte hai aaj toh?"
"Shhh. Hume bhitar aane do aur hamare kaksh me humne bulaya nahi aur na tumne waha dastak di thi. Hey ram.. ye rajkumari ka kamra he hai na ya hum kisi schooli bache ke kamre me pahuch gaye hai? Sirhane farsh par, chaadar dekho aur ye tumhara dupatta waha kursi par.. kitaabe mej se niche giri hui.. Amrita kahi tumne sharaab toh nahi pee?", Rani maa ke toh mooh par he hath chala aaya tha aur Amrita ab kahi ye sab dekh rahi thi jo uski maa ne bataya. Chehre par sharam aur pakde jaane ka darr lekin wo apni maa ke saamne bhi aajkal chanchalpan dikhane se baaj nahi aati thi.
"Hum soye the aur wo badi khidki khuli thi maa. Koyi bandar aaya hoga jisne ye sab kiya aur chala gaya. Dekho waha par fruits bhi rakhe hue the dher saare lekin ab thode he bache hai.", Rani maa takiye bister par rakhne ke sath khud he us ujli hui safed chaadar aur ek feet unche naram gaddo ko vyavasthit karne lagi. Amrita mooh chupati hui kitabe wapis table par tikati hui turant bister ki taraf lapki jaha uski maa pahuchne he wali thi. Ekmatra pehle se pade takiye ke niche se wo 3x5 ki photo nikaal kar wo palti toh ab maa bister ki taraf aage na badhti uske saamne khadi thi.
"Ye kaunsa bandar tha bitiya jo tray kele aur papaya chhod gaya? Aur hamari aalsi rajkumari ne aisi furti jis kaagaj ke liye dikhai hai, koyi shadyantra toh nahi wo jisme tum aur tumhara bandar shamil ho?", Ab wo maa he thi jo bache ko hansi majaak me he range hath pakad leti thi chahe bache kitne bhi bade kyun na ho jaaye.
"Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai maa. Wo toh bas ye jaruri kaagaj hai aur aap bed thik kar rahi thi jis se kahi ye diwar wali taraf na sarak jata. Haan aur hum bandar se dosti karne wale lagte hai kya aapko? Ab usko kya pasand hai kya nahi, ye uski marji. Aap aajkal bematlab bahot se anumaan lagane lagi hai.", Amrita asaani se haar swikaar karne walo me se nahi thi aur apni galti par toh bilkul bhi nahi jo rani maa atche se jaanti thi. Juice ka gilaas utha kar unhone bas ek baar sahi se dekha aur usko choti mej par rakhi tray me rakh diya. Tray me pehle se he coffee ka cup pada tha jisko hath tak nahi lagaya gaya tha aur sandwich jiska ek hissa he khaya gaya tha lekin waha bhi thodi si gehre bhoore rang ki parat thi, mamuli si. Apni maa ko aise wo sab gor se nirikshan karte dekh Amrita ne apne baal sahi karne ke sath thoda jism ko bhi vyavasthit kiya. Pata nahi ab wo kya pooch le aur Arjun ka batana bhi padega aur khud ko bachana bhi.
"Kamre me aur kaun aaya tha...
"Arjun nahi aaya tha maa. Matlab aaya tha par chala gaya tha.", Jaldbaaji me Amrita ne sawaal sunn ne se pehle he jawaab de diya tha. Usko yahi lag raha tha ke maa poochne wali hai 'Kamre me Arjun aaya tha'
"Haan chala toh gaya hai kyonki hume bhi thoda bahot dikhaai deta hai lekin ye bandar mehal ke niyam kanoon todne ke sath ab bhitar bhi utpaat machane laga hai. Kadi saja milegi is bandar ko hath lagne par."
"Ye sab Arjun ne nahi kiya maa.", Amrita ke chehre par pareshani dekh kar rani maa bas halke se muskuraayi fir wapis gambhir.
"Humne kab kaha ki Arjun ko saja denge? Hum toh us bandar ke liye keh rahe hai jo aajkal mehal me utpaat machane ke baad hamare shayan-kaksh tak aa pahcha. Bol dete hai prehriyo ko goli maar de ya jaal me pakad kar fir jungle me he chhod aaye. Hamari beti ka jhootha sandwich tak nahi chhoda us bandar ne.", Ab Amrita apne dono hath mooh par rakhti dhamm se bister par baith gayi aur uski haalat dekh kar Saundarya ji bhi sneh se uske sar pe hath ferte hue bagal me.
"Humne toh pehle he kaha tha beti ki wo manmohna tume jeena sikha dega. Wo in samajik ya shahi niyamo se kahi pare hai aur sabhi se prem karta hai chahe badle me saamne wala uska ahit he kyun na chahe. Tum chaand dekhte dekhte uske kareeb he pahuch gayi. Kahi paa toh nahi liya na us chaand ko?", Mamta ke sparsh se toh pathhar bhi bol uthte hai aur yaha toh ye chanchala thi jo apni maa aur bhai ki aankh ka sabse bahumulya noor. Amrita apni maa ki bagal se lagti hue apna chehra unke kandhe par rakhti hui shunya me jaise jawaab dhoondne lagi. Asaan nahi tha sab samjhana chahe maa khud samajhti thi aise haal ko.
"Chand kisi ek ka nahi hota maa lekin ye chaand bhi nahi hai. Haan aap thik kehti hai ki uska aakarshan kisi adrishya dor sa hai jisme mujh jaisi 37 baras ki aadhi adhuri duniya ki samajh rakhne wali aur hamesha niyam-daayro me rehni wali aisi aurat jo kayi sar jhuka sakti hai wo khud uske kadmo me girne lagi. Wo alag baat hai ki usne girne se pehle hume surakshit sambhaal liya. Mujhe aise maamlo ki samajh nahi hai maa lekin main ye naya badlaav pasand karti hu. Uske sath bachpan laut raha hai aur wo samay jis se anjaan bas main college aur uttradhikao me he reh gayi thi. Manmohna toh lafz he sahi nahi us farebi ke liye. Haan wo aapko aisi aisi duniya me le jata hai jo vastavikta se pare lagti hai, ek meetha fareb. Hum galat kar rahe hai rani maa lekin hume pachtava kyun nahi ho raha? Kyun aisa lagta hai ki humne pehli baar indradhanush ka saprsh kar liya hai. Uske wo rang har andhkar ko khud me sokh kar hume raat me bhi niharika (nebula) sa dikhate hai. Kitna khoobsurat lagta hai jab uske jaane ke baad bhi hum uski parchaayi ko apne aaspas he mehsoos karte hai. Jaante hai ye kahi se bhi samajik nahi hai lekin agar ghutan dur ho rahi hai toh fir hume iske badle har saja manjoor hai. Usko paane ki gustakhi nahi kar sakte, kabhi kabhi bas 2 ghadi milna bahot hoga.", Us shunya me khoyi Amrita ke chehre par itne bhaav aa rahe the ki koyi chitrakar unko chitrapatt par utaarne ke kabil na tha. Muskurate hue apni beti ke varnan ko sunti hui rani maa ke netra bhi sajal ho uthe the har lafz ko sunn aur mehsoos karke.
"Divya-pram kisi rishtey ka mohtaaj nahi hota beti aur jab ye itna gehra ho toh fir kya niyam aur kya unhe banane wale hum or ye samaaj. Aisa toh humne mehsoos karna toh dur vishwa ki kisi pustak ya granth me nahi padha. Wo tumne kaha na Niharika... England me humne kuch chitra dekhe the ajyaabghar me, wo kisi niharika ke he the aur hum vismrit the ki kya kudrat aise rang bhi dikha sakti hai. Waha us ghane andhkaar me toh toote taare samahit ho jaate hai fir ye indradhanushi rang jo atthahas karte us andhkar ko bhi apna gulaam banaye the. Arjun hamesha se he khaas hai thik waise he durlabh. Hum boodhe ho chale hai Amrita, tumhari behan hote na toh pratispardhi hote is maamle me. Hahaha..", Chehra saaf karti hui wo jis tarah muskuraai thi Amrita bhi utni aakarshak na lagti. Umar ke is padaav pe jaha baal chandi se ujle ho chale the, chehre par jhurriyan tak na thi aur har daant heere sa tarasha ek saar. Apne naam par Saundarya aaj tak barkaraar thi chahe unki beti hajaro dilo ki swapnil chaahat ho par Saundarya, unhe toh ateet me kabhi janta ke saamne na laya jata tha.
"Fir toh wo aapka ho ke he reh jata maa, aaj kam se kam wo ajaad parinda toh hai. Waise ek baat puche? Arjun se he judi hui hai aur agar aap jawaab dena chahe toh hume atcha lagega.", Amrita ne uth kar bister par dono ke takiye lagaye aur maa ko apne kareeb he letne ki pyaari arzi lagaai. Saundarya ji jaane kin vicharo me khoyi khush thi ki haan kar baithi apni beti ke bagal me sahi karwat se leti.
"Arjun aur baapu ji ko toh humne compare karke dekha aur thoda samjha. Wo samajh aa sake the lekin ye mastmaula sa hai aur bahot alag bhi unse bilkul ulat. Baapu ji gambhir insaan the jitna hume pata aur suna, wo hanste bolte honge par niyam aur vachan unke liye sarvopari the. Apne naam ke sath maa ka naam likhte the aur is wajah se he unhone kabhi charitra par aanch na aane di. Arjun aapko unke jaisa kaha se laga? Wo toh chhalliya hai na? Aur Pandit ji jaise na toh sanrakshak aur na kisi vachan me bandha. Fir wo baapu ji ka waaris bana kaise jabki Inder bhaiya toh kahi jyada is maamle me baapu ji jaise hai."
"Kisne kaha ke Arjun vachan me nahi bandha hua? Wo ajaad dikhta hai lekin hum aur tum uske sirf ansh maatra se parichit hai. Swayam pandit ji Arjun ka maan karte hai chahe wo kehte ya dikhate nahi. Baapu ji swayam waaris nahi the beti bas unhone virasat supurd kar di thi aur waaris bann ne ke niyamo par koyi khara nahi utra chahe wo Umed ho, Shankar, Inder, Vinod ya Kumar he kyun nahi. Haan Kumar bhi ban sakta tha unki virasat ka maalik par wo un sharto pe khara nahi utra jo baapu ji ne apne dil se likhi thi. Arjun ne school ke sath sath anadhikrit shahi shiksha bhi grehan ki jaisa hamare samay ke baad nahi hua. Wo aatmik, baudhik aur sharirik bal ki pariksha school khatam karne se pehle uttrin kar chuka hai. Usko sikhana nahi sirf batana padta hai aur wo waisa kar deta. Sabse khaas hai uske rakt me daya ka bhaav jo swayam Pandit ji me bhi kabhi kabhi nahi hota. Baaki sabke toh hath bhi khoon se range hai.", Sochte hue rani maa kuch bechain se hone lagi thi aur Amrita ne ye bhi bhaanp liya.
"Aap uske baare me ye sab jaanti hai lekin kuch aisa hai jo aap chaah kar bhi bol nahi paa rahi maa. Wo khoon toh Shankar bhaiya ka he hai aur aage Pandit ji aur fir baapu ji. Toh wo durlabh kaise hai maa? Aur ab hamara ek aur sawaal hai jiska jawaab hum chahte hai aapki beti hone ke taur par. Aaj Arjun purane raanighar me aaya tha hume khojne aur waha uski maa ki tasvir thi. Ye ittefaaq nahi ho sakta maa kyonki 100 baras purani painting ka chehra aaj ki Rekha ji jaisi kaise ho sakti hai? Aur ye Arjun baapu ji jaisa dikhta hai matlab wo aurat.. wo unki maa thi jinki painting waha dhool me band thi?", Ab Amrita pareshan thi aur rani maa khamosh.
"Arjun ne kaise dekha us tasvir ko Amrita? Aur uski kya pratikriya thi?"
"Wo bas hum... Uske sath shararat karte hue bhaag rahe the.. aur hamare peeche bhagte Arjun ka galiyare me paanv fisal gaya, girne se bachne ke liye usne wo parda thaam liya jis se painting dhanki hui thi. Lekin wo gir gaya tha aur painting uski aankhon ke saamne aa gayi. Par usne jyada utsaah nahi dikhaya shuru me hairaan hone ke baad. Wo keh raha tha ki thodi bahot uski maa us painting wali aurat jaisi hai. Aur wo usko utaar kar dekhne laga lekin koyi naam nahi mila. Na painting banane wale ka na us aurat ka. Keh raha tha ke wo aapse baat karega uske baare me. Lekin Arjun taal gaya par aap toh jaanti hongi na uske baare me kyonki najar toh aap bhi Arjun ki maa se chura rahi thi. Wo bahot khoobsurat hai, aapse bhi lekin wo bas bahu hai Pandit ji ke pariwar ki, hai na maa? Koyi aur wajah toh nahi hai na iske peeche?"
"Koyi wajah nahi hai beti, tumhari kasam ye sab sanyog he hai aur hume nahi pata ki ye ab kyun dohraya ja raha hai. Wo tasvir hamare janam ke pehle se he udhar rahi hai aur unke barabar kisi ki bhi nahi lagaai gayi. Maa se poochte the toh wo yahi kehti thi ki wo devi hai aur pita ji toh hamesha darbaar me jaane se pehle unke saamne hath jodd kar jaate the lekin unhone bhi yaha bataya ki ye unke janam se he udhar hai kisi khaas ki. Tab bhi us tasvir par saanjh dhalte parda ho jata tha aur subah hataya jata tha. Humne wo chehra bachpan se dekha tha aur har roj dekha. Jab hum Pandit ji ke pariwar se mile the toh pehli baar Rekha ko dekhte he hum seham gaye jaane kis wajah se. Wo Shankar ki biwi hai, yahi parichaya mila tha. Arjun ko toh humne swaya tumhare sath he waha vivaah avsar par dekha jo us waqt abhaas dilata tha baapu ji ke vyaktitva ka. Jis din waha se wapis laute humne bharsak koshish ki is kadi ko samajhne aur suljhane ki lekin Rekha udhar he agle shehar se, sampann pariwar jo Pandit ji ka purana sathi raha hai inke vivaah se bhi pehle se. Hume pata hai ki humne galat tarah se chhanbin karwaayi par hamari pareshani bhi nirarthak nahi hai Amrita."
"Haan ho bhi kaise sakti hai maa jab aapne itne baras wo chehra dekha jikse baare me koyi jaankari he nahi aur is umar me wo sakshaat saamne aa khada ho toh darr bhi lagega. Arjun bhaiya aur Pandit ji ki jagah baapu ji jaisa dikhta hai aur Rekha ji us barso purani painting jaisi. Aapas me Arjun aur Rekha ji ka rishta maa bete ka hai. Baapu ji ki maa toh nahi hai wo painting wali?"
"Mumkin nahi hai aisa hona beti. Unki tasvir yaha kaise ho sakti hai jaha swayam baapu ji ka pravesh varjit tha.? Par unhe devi kaha jata tha aur Rekha ke liye aise vichaar swayam Kaushalya ji ke hai. Dekha nahi waaris me swayam Rekha sanrakshak hai aur ek maa ne swayam bete ko vachan ke supurd kar diya. Itna bada dil har maa ka nahi hota aur wo bhi jab pehle se he ek navjaat kho chuke ho pariwar me. Khair aaye toh the tumse alag baat par charcha karne lekin pehle tumhare bandar ne hume hairaan kar diya aur ab ateet ne jiske jawaab toh dene wala he koyi zinda nahi bacha."
"Kar lijiye jo baat karni hai maa. Waise bhi 3 ghante soye hai hum abhi."
"Usko sona nahi sochna kehte hai, khayalo me sochna. Arjun hamare kaksk me sandesh chhod kar gaya tha jaane se pehle ki kal main aur tum Mahendra ke sath waha dargaah par aaye. Uski gujaarish hai mujhse lekin tum dono nahi gaye toh wo idhar nahi aane wala fir. Dekh lo kaise fareb karta hai ye tumhara farebi. Saaf nahi kaha ke mujhse bhi nahi milega, kyonki uske liye bhi idhar he aana padega aur hum apni beti ko akele bhejne nahi waale. Pehle hum kabhi aise manch par nahi gaye Amrita aur jab Arjun me apne bete ko dekhte hai toh mamta par darr haavi hone lagta hai."
"Aap apni mamta se bandhi rahiye lekin mujhe wo pehle he mana chuka hai aane ke liye aur Pandit ji se bhi kehalwa diya hai jab usne ghar phone kiya tha yaha aane ke baad.", Amrita ko wapis chehakte dekh rani maa muskurati hui naa me sar hilati hui khush ho rahi thi.
"Tumhe wo kaise manayega jab tum pehle he maani-manaai ho. Mujhe bhi jana padega beti, wo toh mehal aane nahi wale lekin milna jaruri hai. Bas yahi poochne aayi thi ki tum chalogi? Mujhe atcha lagta tumhari haan se par tum pehle he usko haan kar baithi jo fir bhi humse ijajat le raha tha. Chalo, tum araam karo ya fir wo kagaj nikal kar chehra niharo. Main apne kamre me ja rahi hu aur tumhara bhojan sewika yahi pahucha degi jab itcha ho. Waise bhookh-pyaas wali baatein suni thi lekin aaj yakeen ho gaya. Shubratri.", Ab Amrita kaise kehti ki aaj toh Arjun ne bas thode he prem-rang barsaye the lekin wo utne ko bhi tayaar na thi par fir bhi uske sath beh gayi. Aaj uske hontho ki surkhi isi bister par wo farebi atche se saaf karke gaya tha jiske bas kache khwaab he dekhe the Amrita ne aur wo kehne ki koshish karti us se pehle he wo mann padh chuka tha. Kisi phool ki tarah apne pehlu me uthaye aaj Arjun ne bister, mej aur yaha tak ki diwar se laga kar Amrita ke achhote badan par har taraf sparsh kiya tha sirf 2 khaas ango ko mehfooj rakhte hue, jinhe wo jald he tasalli se dekhne aur pyaar karne wala tha.

"Khaane ke waqt toh aaj sabke sath bade chehak rahe the lekin yaha halaat bilkul alag hai. Aur kamra band kyun kiya tha?", Raat gehrane ke sath he Arjun bhojan ke baad sabse thodi bahot baatein karke Vinod chacha ke sath tehalne chala gaya tha. Ye log kareeb ek ghante baad laute the aur chacha kapde badal kar apne kamre me sone chale gaye aur Arjun apna pitara liye is kamre me band ho gaya. Aanchal ke aane par usne wapis baksa band karte hue usko almari me rakh kar darwaja khola. Ek baar toh wo bhi thoda seham gaya tha kyonki Aanchal ka uske kamre me aise raat me aana kisi ko bhi khatak sakta tha lekin ab aa gayi thi aur wo khush dikh rahi thi.
"Koyi halaat nahi badle hai bas thodi der padhne ke baad sone he wala tha. Subah jaldi tayaar hona hai aur fir waha dekho ye log mere sath kya karte hai. Waise aap khush lag rahi ho, aao thodi der baithte hai fir padhaai kar lunga.", Arjun ne rasta diya toh Aanchal ne bhitar daakhil hote he halke se uska gaal choom liya. Wo bharpoor chanchalta se dhamm se bister par ja pasri jaise ye kamra in nav-dampatti ka ho. Arjun ke sath bahot hadd tak fursat paa chuki thi Aanchal chahe uski sharam kuch haavi hoti lekin dil me Arjun kahi jyada gehra baith chuka tha.
"Aapki naani aur nana me se koyi dekh leta toh pata hai kya hota?", Arjun chalta hua bister ke dusri taraf tek lagate hue pasar gaya. Darwaja chitakni lagaye bina band kiya tha filhaal jo Aanchal dekhte hue mooh bana chuki thi.
"Naani toh na uthne wali subah 5 baje se pehle aur late bhi ho sakta hai. Aur nana koyi soye bhi ek ghanta ho chuka toh fikar kis baat ki? Aur gaal pe he toh kiss kiya hai, bade aaye pareshan hone wale.", Arjun atche se Aanchal ke chehre aur fir uske kase hue bina baah ke top aur chust pajame ko dekhta hua muskura bhar diya. Aanchal bharpoor jawaan aur aakarshak yuvti thi chahe bahri duniya me kam dilchaspi rakhti rahi lekin dekhne wala toh bas aisi he sangini aur premika ki kaamna karta tha. Youvan ke bharpoor uthaan aur patli kamar ke sath uske chehre ki alag si saadgi aur tarashe hue bhare bhare honth. Arjun paas khisak kar uske samtal peit par hath rakhte hue haule se sehlane laga toh Aanchal ki saanein aniyantrit ho chali aur hath wahi daba liya.
"Ab pata laga jab khud par aayi? Daadi soyi hai lekin unki neend kachi bahot hai. Aur 2 kamro ke baad chacha ka kamra hai jo abhi jaage bhi ho sakte hai. Waise dekh raha hu ki tum abhi abhi naha kar aayi ho aur ye kapde kahi se tumhari naani ke maapdand par khare nahi utarte.",Ab Aanchal halke se hanste hue uske kandhe par maarne lagi thi.
"Unhe neend ki goli khilaai hai nana ji ne. Keh rahi thi ki thakaan mehsoos kar rahi hai par neend bhi nahi aa rahi. Fir maine wahi goli unke doodh me bhi mila di. Goli chaba ke khaati hai na toh kya he doodh ka swaad pata chalta. Aur mama apne kaam me lage honge agar nahi soye toh. Waise pehle wo bol rahe the ke tum AC me so jao unke kamre me lekin maami ne kaha ke Arjun apne kamre me soyega. Usko padhna hota hai. Bada dhyaan rehta hai maami ko tumhara. Nahi?", Arjun samajh raha tha ke Aanchal kaha ishara kar rahi hai chahe majaak me sahi lekin usne bhi baat ka rukh badal kar us kasi hui tshirt ke peit wali taraf se andar ungliyan pahucha di. Makhmal sa naram wo naabhi wala hissa abhi nahane ki wajah se alag si thandak bhara tha lekin Arjun ke is sparsh se Aanchal ne apni taange kass li. Wo wahi haule haule us chikni twacha ko sehlate hue thoda aage badh raha tha aur Aanchal khud he apna chehra Arjun ke gale par rakhti usko choomne lagi. Jyada samay nahi gujra jab wo khud uske peit par baithi bade pyaar se ye dhimre chumban kar rahi thi. Kabhi Arjun uske ek honth ko mooh me bharte hue choosta toh kabhi Aanchal ye dohrati. Badan par chipi tshirt ke bhitar Arjun ke hatho ka saprsh jaise he un bhare hue chucho ki jadd me mehsoos hua, Aanchal kaanpti hui Arjun se kas ke lipat gayi. Wo uttejjana ke charam par thi aur ye bhi parwah nahi ki koyi unhe dekh bhi sakta hai chahe khidki darwaje band he sahi, chitakni nahi lagi thi.
"Ohhh.. Tum jaanboojh ke aisa karte ho na? Shaam ko jab aayi thi tab bhi aise he tadpa ke chhod diya aur ab bhi..", Arjun ke hath apni peeth ko sehlate dekh Aanchal ki chetna lauti. Arjun ne vaksho ko pakde bina he hath khinch liye the lekin Aanchal ki garmi 10 minute ke is halke sparsh aur gehre chumbano se he apni charam par ja pahuchi thi jisko Arjun ne ekdum he thanda kar diya, harkate band karke. Aanchal ke chehre ko apne saamne dekh Arjun ne chehre par aaya paseena apne hath se sehla kar hatate hue jawaab diya.
"Kaha tha na ki sab araam araam se aur pyaar se. Jaanta hu aapko kuch jyada he jaldi hai lekin aapki wo badi wajah toh maine dur kar he di na? Na ya aapki maa hai aur na ab Vinod chacha aapko us drishti se dekhte hai. Jab dil bhi mera aur aap bhi, toh itna besabar nahi hona. Haan thoda jaanboojh ke kiya lekin kya ye sab atcha nahi laga?", Aanchal ab sharam se najre churati hui uske seene ko kured rahi thi.
"Atcha bhi laga aur bura bhi. Us din ke baad mujhe sabkuch ajeeb sa lagta hai Arjun. Akele sone par wahi dikhta hai aur fir tumhara chehra. Uske baad bas yahi lagta hai ki tum waise he mujhe thaame raho aur koyi hadd na ho. Neend khulti hai toh khud ki soch par he jhunjla jaati ho lekin fir wahi haalat jab tum saamne aate ho aur dil wahi chahat jaahir kar deta hai. Apna lo na mujhe, wo chahat bahot mushkil hai har raat sambhalni.", Arjun ka hath khud he Aanchal ne apne ubhre hue seene par tika diya tha. Unka wo ehsaas aur akaar shabdo me bayaan karne laayak na tha. Kapde ke bhitar ye gol ubhar bina kisi pinjre ke khule the lekin unki sakhti aur golaai adhbhutt. Arjun unhe agar abhi masalta toh yakinan wo khud samay se pehle is raat he Aanchal ko ladki se aurat bana deta. Waise bhi wo Madhuri didi ki humumar thi lekin kaam-gyaan lagbhag shunya. Jo bhi dekha tha wo bas ghinona vaasna ka khel jo uski maa ka he rehta tha vibinn sathiyon sang. Wo uttjit jarur thi lekin vaasna me andhi nahi.
"Kal ka din do mujhe Aanchal, uske baad pehal main he karunga. Mujhe bhi pal bhulaye nahi bhoolta jab tumhe bathroom me dekha tha. Aane wali dusri raat bas hum dono honge Aanchal aur subah hone tak main tumhe sone nahi dene wala. Khawahish hai ek, fir se tumhe waise he dekhne ki lekin us raat.", Aanchal toh sharam se dohri ho chali thi wo drishya yaad karte hue jaha Arjun ne uska ek taraf se aadha vaksh aur pichla samoocha hissa dekha tha, paani se bhiga aur jisma par ekmatra vastra bas panty thi, bhigi hui.
"Aisa bolo na ki aaj ki raat bhi sone nahi doge mujhe. Chalti hu, tum padh lo. Jyada besir-pair ki khwahishe matt bataya karo.", Is baar uske uthne se pehle Arjun ne majbooti se dono sughad lachile nitambh pakad kar dabate hue apne honth fir se Aanchal se chipka diye the. Is baar Aanchal ne wo ang apni achhooti jugni ke niche mehsoos kiya tha jo uksi kalpana aur Damini ke sansargiyon walo ke aujaar se kahi jyada he bhishan tha. Halka abhaas toh usko Arjun ne uske ghar he karwa diya tha par abhi wo uske upar baithi thi jo kapde ke upar se he apni sakhti aur garmi se uski yonki ko chetawani de raha tha lekin uski yoni ke iraade toh viprit he the jo milne ke liye abhi se aansu tapkane lagi thi. Aanchal chumban samapt hote he bister se uchalti hui bina Arjun ko dekhe darwaja khol kar apne kamre me band ho gayi. Arjun khamoshi se hans raha tha apni baniyaan par Aanchal dwara chhodi us geeli chaap ko dekhte hue. Ling naabhi ki taraf akdaa hua us se bhi aage the.
'Shaant raha kar thoda. Yaha pehle aur bhi jaruri kaam hai lekin tu sar utha le pehle. Aaj Jass darling milne wali hai tujhse, fir 2 din pareshan matt kariyo yar.', Arjun apne ling ko sahi karta hua jaise usko mana raha tha khush karne ke sath. Lekin apne kamre ke bhitar qaid hui Aanchal toh pajama utaar kar bathroom me he ghuss chuki thi. Aaj uska itne se he sakhallan ho gaya tha jo panty na hone ki wajah se patle kapde se bahar tak mehsoos hua.
'Bade Pandit ji, ab jara aapki bhi sunn le thodi, fir humko bhi sukoon lene jana hai kyonki chain toh aap lene nahi dete.', Darwaja is baar atche se band kar diya tha Arjun ne kyonki ab wo kisi aahat se bhi hilne nahi wala tha.

"Likhna bhi ek kathin karya hai aur ab hum samajhte hai kyun Krishan vidyalya jaane se katrata tha. Aaj hume ghar gaye hue 5 din ho chuke hai parantu grehsthi se kuch badhkar samajik dayitva aur prant ki sukh shanti hai. Isko bhang karne wale bhi apne he ho toh mushkile aur jyada. Pehle he in apno ne peeth dhakne laayak nahi chhodi aur us se ubar sakte lekin prabhu Narayan jaise iski ijajat nahi dete. Balwinder ke saale sahab wo Jyotsana ke bhai Sumedh ne gehri saajish rachi thi jisme sarkari hastshep judwa kar wo alag mansube paale baitha tha. Balwinder par he humla karwa diya jab wo suraksha bina janta ke beech tha. Kshetra kuch sarhad se bahar tha aur waha ke prashashan ne toh likha padhi tak se inkaar kar diya. Main toh pehle se he Rana ke khilaaf tha usko suraksha adhikari banane ke lekin Balwinder kabhi kabhi dil-dimaag se nahi chalta. Ghayal hua par bach gaya ganimat hai. Darbar, janta aur yaha ki jimmewariyon ke sath Balwinder ki bhi dekhbhal bhi jaruri hai. Haan 4 log dhoond kar kaat diye humne aur ek ko waha jiwit chhod diya aur ek ko sath le aaye. Jiwit isliye ki Sumedh ko maloom rahe ki hamari talwar kisi sarhad aur prashashan anusaar nahi chalti. Isko hamare hath chalate hai jab jab koyi hamare apne ko thes pahuchane ki himakat karta hai. Rana sabse pehle adrishya ho gaya khabar milte he. Jaane dete hai usko abhi nahi toh videsh baithi Jyotsana pehli baar hume apshabd kahegi. Parso Krishan aaya tha bhojan le kar cycle se, pagal hai thoda jo garmi bhi nahi dekhta. Bata raha tha ke ghar pe badi bahu aur bache aaye hai. Devaki bahu ki tabiyat thik nahi hai, garbhvati hone ki wajah se.
Ab kya kahe is hamare saral-buddhi ko? Inki maa ne kehlawa bhi bheja ki agar mehal ka khana itna he pasand hai toh unki haweli 10 kos dur kyu banwa di humne. Khair wo toh aise he kabhi kabhi shikayat karti hai jis se hume dhyaan rahe ki unke hatho ka bhojan hamari har pareshani, thakaan aur bhookh shaant kar deta hai. Devaki ki bhai aaye the usko livane ke liye peehar aur jab hume iski jaankari mili toh spasht na kar di humne. Chalbaajo ko toh neend me bhi pakad lete hai fir ye toh ab rishteydar ho chuke hai. Kaise hamare ghar ki santaan us narak me paida hone de? Bhunbhunati hai toh hoti rahe lekin wapis peehar toh jaane nahi denge. Hamare nalayak bete ko Devaki ne he fansa tha apne is Netram ke kehne par aur ye kaisa bhai hua jo behan ko he gair-mard ke niche nirvxxx karwa de? Aajtak Krishan ne hume ye nahi bataya ki wo aakhir kis se milne gaya tha aur uski preyasi ki jagah ye kalawati kaise uske pehlu me aa baithi. Ab ye aadikaal toh nahi jaha ladka ladki bina vastro ke dekhe jaaye toh samanya lagega. Upar se janta me wo munshi ke suputra hai aur beesiyon log drishya ke gawaah bann gaye. Us din atcha rehta ki Sangi he uske sath hota ya wo koyi katal kar deta. Katal toh dur ki baat hai is piddi se kidi ka dard nahi dekha jata. Ab wo prashikshit abhinetri ro kar shor machayegi toh bechara ghabrayega he. Dusre praant ki panchayat se fainsla aaya ki Munshi Motilal ji ke suputra agar aisa udaharan pesh karenge toh kaise bahu betiyon ka kalyaan hoga? Inki mata ji toh maa mahima hai jinhone bol diya ke mere bete ne usko hath lagaya hai toh ab wo unki bahu hui. Is hisaab se hamari toh 15 aur banti hai lekin kya wo hume aisa karne dengi? Bhool kar bhi iska sangyaan hua toh na munshi rahenge na vajeer, fakeer bann na padega. Aksar hum saral insaan dil se fainsle le lete hai un logo ko sammaan dene ke liye jinke mann me viprit vichaar aur uddeshya rehte hai. Bade bete ki bhi shaadi karwani padi aur unke is piddi ki bhi sath he, umar se pehle ye bhi kar liya hamare chote suputra ne lekin 5 baras kata kata raha apni is anchahi biwi se. Ab paanv bhari kar diye toh sabse bachta firta hai jaise koyi sawaal na pooch le is jaadu ka jo usne kar dikhaya. Hahaha.. bahot he bhola hai mera ye bacha aur hamari chinta bhi yahi hai ki hamare jaane ke baad agar Raame iska dhyaan na rakh saka toh sab barbaad bhi ho sakta hai.
Beete saawan me Raame ne bada ajeeb kaam karwaya jab 8-10 logo ko liye wo purane ghar ke malbe ko saaf karwane laga. Pichla hissa girwa diya tha humne aur baad me banwaya hua hai usme mehal ke pramukh sewako ke 5 pariwar rehte hai ab. Raame se wajah poochi toh pehle toh kehta raha ke wo bas saaf safaai karwa raha hai lekin fir raat me jab lauta toh ye gaanv wali haweli me isne jhoola dala tha sabse pehle, haweli toh baad me bani. Us jhoole ko kabhi hilata toh kabhi rok leta. Hum galiyare me baithe in janaab ki ye paagal harkat dekhte rahe jabtak sehan hua. Jab uth kar kareeb gaye toh wo hadbada gaya, aankhen bhigi hui aur Guddi 5 baras wale kapdo me rooyi bhar ke ye usko jhoola jhula raha tha. Ek wahi toh thi jisko kamar pe taang ke ye kahaniya sunata hua mohalle me ghoomta rehta tha. Guddi ne kaha ke idhal ghola bano toh raste me bhi jhuk jata tha apni behan ke liye. Vidyalaya se aane ke baad sabse jaruri karya toh yahi hota tha na ki Guddi ko goad me uthana hai chahe fir wo 3 saal he chhoti thi lekin Raame ka sarvasva he thi uski behan aur hamari Guddi. Raghu bhi utna he karta tha lekin wo ijhaar kam kyonki majboot vyakti hai. Raame naukri par ya jiwan me sakht insaan hai lekin wo sanvdanshil hai thik apni maa ki tarah. Pakde jaane par raat ko he nikal gaya apne biwi bacho ke paas. 5 ghante baad bhi jana tha lekin chalo ab kya keh sakte hai jab hum khud he uske mitra na bann sake. Yaha aate hai toh dard ke sath ye anubhooti bhi rehti hai ki hum apni beti se uski saaligirah par milne aa rahe hai. Waise wo akshya-tritya ko janmi thi par chhata saal hai na usko gaye hue aaj he ke din toh yahi soch lete hai ki Guddi ke bahane apni anjaan ummeed se bhi dil ka haal bayaan kar denge. Hum tehkhane me utarne ki himmat ek baar juta sakte hai lekin us kaksh ki taraf laalten bhi nahi dikha sakte.
Us raat ke baare me Balwinder ne humse pehli baar sawaal kiye the jaise usko sandeh hua ho ki hum kuch jaante hai. Pita ji aur Bhupendra ji ka shav utarte hue kuch tukde toh preahriyon ke hatho me he aa gire the aur 4 log behosh hue so hue. Is haweli ke bhitar aniginat kate fate shav dekh kar us waqt ke suraksha-pramukh ne ulti he kar di thi, kitna diler hai na Rana? Tabhi toh bhaag khada hua saamna karne ki jagah. Ab kaise kehte Balwinder se ki hamari jagah wo hota toh uski rooh bhi kaanp uthti. Lekin mara jata wo agar hamari jagah hota. Aaj bhi hum khudse sawaal karte hai ki kyun hum dhairyavaan na bane aur dimaag se kaam lete toh Sreedhar ko pichle dwaar se bhaagne na dete. Ghir gaye the hum aur tehkhaane se aati cheenkhon ne Sreedhar ko humse bacha liya. Suna tha ke usme aseem bal hai aur us se nidar koyi nahi. Saamna karta toh hum us dusht ko sacche sewak ki taqat se parichit karwate, beshak jiwait na rehte par ye bojh bhi dil par nahi rehta ki wo jiwit hai. Haan wo kahi se bhi insaan nahi hai, na sharir se aur na soch se. Jab usko darbaar se mukti de di gayi thi toh hamare he pita ne usko maha-gyata aur saadhak bata kar raaj-kosh sahayta sucharu rakhwai. Aise toh prabhu bholenath ke upasak nahi hote. Jo hote hai unhe humne he ruswa kar diya. Aajtak hamare seene ke upari hisse me kabhi kabhi dard hota hai 6 saal hone ko aaye lekin hum us pavitra aatama ke maatra halke he dhakke se door ja gire the. Wo hota prakram aur kshamta saadhna ki jisme sirf aur sirf parmeshwar aur jankalyaan ki bhala karne ki taqat hoti hai. Gaye the shaitaan ka pata poochne aur unko gussa dila baithe jo madad kar sakte the. Roothe hue saadhak ke paas lautne ki galti nahi karenge, intjaar kar lenge hum us din ka jab Sreedhar apne dum-kham sahit lautega, wo sahi waqt par jarur aayega agar usko apni taaqat par itna he ghamand hai. Par hai pakka shadyantrakari aur ghaagh jisko kisi ki parwaah nahi siwaye apne naam aur aseem taqat ki.
Tum bas itna kar dena mitra agar sakushal tehkhane tak pahuch sako, in bachhiyon ko mukti dilwa dena. Hum aisa nahi kar sakte kyonki hamare khudke hath khoon se range hai aur idhar wahi aa paayega jiske dil me dusre ke dard ko apna dard banane ka sahas ho. Tum yaha aaoge toh khud he jaan jaoge ki tum kyun humse behtar ho. Main aanewali peedhi me koyi vajeer nahi dekhna chahta aur na he koyi vyapari-santri-mantri.. Main insaan dekhna chahta hu, ek aisa insaan jo raksha karne par aaye toh 10 Sreedhar bhi jhuka de aur 20 Motilal bhi. Dil me prem, kshamadaan, dusre ke dard me dard aur dusro ki khushi me bhale he shamil na ho sako lekin khush raho. Sampatti toh Vidwaan Raavan ki bhi nahi rahi lekin unke gyaan ko devta bhi maante the. Main waisi he bhavishya ki peedhi chahta hu jo samaaj ke bematlab niyam bhale na maane par samaaj me udaharan bane, pariwar ko samay de aur usko jodd kar rakhe. Humne suna hai hamari maa aisi he thi, thoda he suna hai aur baaki kuch dhundli yaadein hai. Unhone insaan ko insaan samjha, har jeev ko punya aatma aur har jaruratmand par apne auchitya anusaar madad. Haan kuch maamlo me unhone jyada madad bhi ki hogi aur wo samarth thi. Humse bahot pyaar karti thi aur beta tum, tum jitna ho sake apni maa ko waqt dena jab bhi samay ho itne vyast jiwan me. Wo kabhi gujarish nahi karegi aur na kahegi ki usko tumhare samay ki jarurat hai. Vyast hone ka dikhawa karegi jis se tum apna samay apni marji anusaar jee sako. Par yakeen karo, akelepan aur dard me sabse pehle smaran bhi he aati hai.. aahh maa.. Ye lafz he nahi poori duniya hai jis se tum duniya me aaye ho. Fir chahe poori duniya haansil kar lo lekin agar maa ka saya nahi hai na toh wo bematlab hai. Tumhe tumhari bharya (biwi) samajh sakti hai, behan sneh de sakti hai khayaal rakhne ke sath ya wo log jo tumse pyaar karte hai wo sukh-dukh me khade ho sakte hai sath. Lekin 'main yahi hu beta' lafz keh kar tumhe apne seene se kisi bhi umar me laga lene wali maa har dukh aur dard ka raambaan hai. Duniya me sabse bada sukh aur dard maatrtva hai aur wo mahila ko he mila kyonki purush taqatwar ho sakta hai, sharir se majboot bhi lekin sehanshakti ki parkashtha agar koyi hai toh wo bas maa. Hume he dekh lo, ghar pe maa intjaar nahi kar rahi hai isliye toh awara hai 50 ke hone par bhi. Wo pyaar se kaan pakad kar jab narajgi dikhati hai na beta toh bas chehre ko yaad karte he hum is duniya se kat jaate hai. Baba kehte hai ki hamari maa ka naam Anuradha isliye rakha gaya tha kyonki wo us nakshatra me he paida hui thi aur unki aabha kise chamakte sitare si thi, jaise surya bhi ek sitara hai. Hamari samajh me toh ye ek devi ka naam tha jitna pustak-purano me padh kar naam ke Pandit bane, kaam toh kasaai se bhi bura hai.
Is haweli ko girana matt beta, samaaj me aise kala dhabba bhi maujood rehna chahiye. Waise toh humne iski saaf safaai karwa di thi jitni munasib thi lekin hum chahte hai ki tum apna kaam karne ke baad isko aise he chhod dena. Prakriti swayam iski kismat likhegi. Nadi kinare itne khoobsurat jagah jaha se hum bachpan me chhat par khade reh kar heeran, khargosh, hariyaali aur is khoobsurat nadi ka avlokan karte the. Ye khoobsurati kukarmo ne he bhang ki hai iska saboot rehna chahiye. Kabhi bhitar naa aa sako toh un bachiyon ke hisaab se bahar vriksh ropit kar dena, wo swayam bade aur chhayadar hone ke sath is haweli ko prakriti me mila lenge. Baarish tufaan me junglee janwar sharan lene lage hai idhar jo atchi baat hai. Keemti yaha kuch nahi hai ab siwaye tehkhaane ke dard aur rudan ke. Chalte hai beta, aaj ghar he nikalte hai. Seene me halka sa dard hai aur mehal ke kamre shayan-kaksh sirf naam se hai. Unke sukoon nahi aur aaj hum sona chahte hai. Laddu matlab Shankar aaya hua hai aur wo apni maa ko bahot pareshan karta hai jabki badi bahu ki goad me Inder hai lekin ye sahab usko hata dete hai jaisa saptaah pehle humne dekha. 6 din ho gaye bacho ko dekhe toh subah unke sath rahunga. Raju galat dada ki sangat me reh raha hai lekin kya kahe ab. Krishan ko bhi wo bahot pasand hai aur dono goonge aapas me baat karte hai. Chalte hai beta, prabhu Narayan tumhari rakhsa kare aur Devi Lakshmi apna aashirad banaye rakhe.
Naam likh dena kisi vriksh par ki hum kaun hain ya the. Niche apna rishta aur naam. Is tarah hum ek ho jaayenge aur mil bhi lenge. Wo bhi toh jiwan he hai.
Pratiksha me,
Pandit Motilal Anuradha Sharma

"Kya bade pandit ji, aaj toh aapne sachmuch maa ki kami mehsoos karwa di. Main bhi hamesha unke saaye me he rehna chahta hu lekin aap jaise mahnubhav hai jinke sath ek atoot rishta aur virasat mili hai toh dur hona padta hai. Waha unke kareeb hota hu toh pehle se daavedar bahot hai, sabse badi toh wahi jiske liye samaaj pehle he daav par laga baitha hu. Aaj jitni kismat meharbaan hai na meri, utni he buri hone wali hai bhavishya me aur fir dekhunga aapke Raame mera sath dete hai ya nahi. Us se pehle kahi maa he na bedapaar kar de, waise bhi khamosh insaan se khatarnaak koyi nahi hota. Aap jo bhi the insaan bahot sache the bade Pandit ji lekin wo 15 wali baat par main kuch bata deta hu aapko, ye aankda abhi se dugna hone wala hai mera. Aur iska pata kisi ko chala toh main toh fakeer bhi nahi rahunga.", Arjun padhne ke bawjood us patra me jaise koyi chehra dekhta hua baat kar raha tha. Wo itna leen tha usme ki uske haav-bhaav aise badal rahe the jaise saamne sachmuch koyi gehra mitra baitha ho, raajdar.
"Ye Devaki na aapse sambhli aur na ab mere bas ki hai. Aapki badi bahu ko he jimme lagana padega inhe sudharne ke aur saja bhi wahi dengi, main jara kamjor hu in maamlo me. Waise main bhi shahi-khaandan me fasal badhane ki soch raha hu, bura lage toh koyi baat nahi. Aapki bhi bahot si baatein buri lagi lekin main shikayat nahi kar raha. Aap bhi matt karna aur isme prem shaamil hai bol deta hu ki ektarfa nahi hai. Kal dekho aapke laayak suputra ji ko kaise akhaade ke baad meethi patakhni deta hu main. Unhe bhi toh thodi khushi milni chahiye na bade bau ji? Ek behan jo duniya ho usko khone ka dard toh aise sanvedna bhare bhai ke dil me jiwan-paryant rehta hai. Aur wo mere bhi sabkuch hai jinki awaaj mooh se chahe na nikalti ho par dil se main sunn leta hu ki wo kya chahte hai. Unhone he tapasya ki hai jo main is laayak bann raha hu ki us haweli me paudhe laga saku, maali banane wali tapasya nahi balki jiwan ko itna pragaadh banane ki. Unke 3 bete hai par mehnat sabse jyada mujhpar ki aur main unhe asafal hone nahi de sakta. Lekin ek vaada karta hu aapse, maa ke saaye me rahunga antim samay tak. Thoda chintan kar lete hai, aaj garbh-gyaan ke waqt toh jaise marene he wala tha.", Arjun ab wo pal yaad karte he jaise usme he kho gaya.
"Bahot bhale insaan hai Vajranand ji aur aaj unhone jo jiwan gyaan dilwaya na mujhe baba Taaraknath ji se, aswimarniya anubhav raha. Aaj pata laga ki tatva me tatva prakriti kaise mila deti hai aur andhkaar me bhi bahari bhaari aavraan me dooba jeev kaise sab mehsoos ya dekh sakta hai chahe aankhen band ho. Wo bachhiyan isliye nahi mili bade bauji kyonki unhe hath paanv baandh kar zinda he agni ke supurd kar diya gaya. Wo mooh par baandhne wale fande kukarm ke sath sath is karya ke liye bhi the. Aur garbh me matlab nadi ki talhatti me 2-2 ke jod me unhe hawa-paani aur bhoomi me vileen karwa diya gaya. Pata hai ye karne wale kaun the? Aayojak. Aapke pita aur Bhupendra ji, maharaj. Aise andhvishwas se unhe wo sab prapt bhi ho jata toh uddeshya kya rehta? Aapko bhi raste se hata kar wo dono pishaach mehal ki har mahila aur bachi me apna ansh dete. 60-65 ke toh rahe honge na wo .. ? Neev ye thi hamari?", Arjun ne dhikkaar se kaha toh saamne naam dikha Pandit Motilal Anuradha Sharma.
"Maaf kijiyega, wo napunsak he honge jitna prateet hota hai. Koyi jadibooti di hogi Sreedhar ne jis se kshamta mili toh josh gareeb sewaikao par dikha diya. Vansh unka nahi ho sakta kyonki ab hume Saarang bhi galat nahi lagta aur Preetam bhi. Aur na aapke saralbudhi galat hai. Bhatkaya gaya unhe aur aksar jawaan hote yuvak naye anubhavo ke prati aakarshit ho jaate hai. Anamika daadi pyaar thi unka aur dono he saral. Kaise galat ho sakte hai aise insaan jo kisi ko dukhi nahi dekh sakte.? Haan Saarang maafi ke laayak nahi hai par galti kiski thi? Ye boodhe lakkadbaghe haweli me band ho kar tantra mantra ke sath jawan saral buddhiyon ki buddhi bhrasht karte rahe aur unhe kaise kaise sapne dikha diye honge jo wo hatayre, badhle ki bhawna wale aur pratidwandi bann gaye. Mansha toh yahi thi na ke sabhi purush aur ladke saaf ho jaaye aur phir ye shashan ke sath dushashan bhi bann jaaye. Aap safal rahe Bade Pandit ji aap safal rahe aur ab main inki akal thikane lagaunga ateet me aapse bhi peeche jaa kar. Waqt chahe jitna marji lage saal ya 10 saal. Inki maand me ghuss kar wo bhi badal dunga jo bas dhundla naam reh gaya. Sahi kiya aise insaan ka naam tak aapne mitwa diya. Chalte hai thoda vishraam karne. Fir milne jana hai. Shubhratri. Arjun Rekha Sharma. Naam wajandar hai isliye prayog nahi karte.", Arjun ne us khat ke niche waise he apna naam aur taarikh likh di thi. Wo dekh kar sab vichaar bhool baitha jab maa ka naam apne naam ke sath dekha. Wo kabhi dur hota he kaha tha apni maa se, dil aapas me itne jude the ki Rekha Ritu ki bagal me baithi bhi uska naam he samaran kar rahi thi. Kal uske bete ki pariksha thi jis par anginat log pehle sawaal utha chuke the.

Thik 12 bajne me 10 minute pehle Arjun apne kamre se dabe paanv nikla hath me kuch liye. Wo pichle aangan me kinare se hota hua badi satarkta se pahucha tha aur jaha Meena ka kamra tha thik uske darwaje ke saamne us packet se ye rang jaisa powder sahi se failane ke baad wo utni he saavdhani se bahar nikalne wale darwaje ko khol kar haweli ke peeche ja pahucha. Darwaja yaha se lagane ke sath he wo pehle he bhitar aane ka dusra prabandh bhi kar chuka tha. Sunsaan aur ekaant gali me aage badhta wo chand kadmo baad he Dilbaag bhai ke ghar ke pichle hisse aa pahucha tha. Lohe ke darwaje ke jodd kinare khadi Jasmeen ne chutki ki halki awaaj se usko apne wahi hone ka ehsaas karwaya toh paanv ki awaaj diye bina he wo agle he pal dusri taraf tha. Yaha aate he usne Jasleen ko goad me uthate hue seedha idhar wali seedhiya ka rukha kiya. Mahol itna shaant tha ki Arjun Jasleen ki hridyagati bhi sunn paa raha tha. Raatri ke antim pehar ab wo apni is sangini sang rehne wala tha us badi pariksha wale din ke shuru hone tak.
Ati-uttam mitr aaj aapne acha pahlu dikha sab ko. Maa sirf maa hoti hai, wo apne bete ke liye kuch bhi kar sakti hai. Matritav prem sarvach hai.Update 203
Raat Ka Humsafar
"Amrita, kab tak apne kaksh me rehne wali ho beti? Khana yahi bhijwa du?", Saundarya ji apni vyast dincharya aur karyo se faarig ho kar 7 baje lauti thi aur apne bete se baat karne ke baad thoda vishram aur vastra badal kar unhone samay dekha toh saadhe 8 baj rahe the. Aksar 8 baje unka aur dono bacho ka khaane ka samay nirdharit rehta tha lekin Mahendra apne samay se bhojan karke udhyaan me tehalne gaya tha aur Amrita ki sewika ne rani maa ko bataya ki choti rani toh dopehar se he apne kamre se bahar nahi nikli. Maa ko chinta hona laajmi he tha jis wajah se unhone Amrita ke kamre ke darwaje par dastak di, jo bhitar se band tha.
"Oh maa, mujhe bhookh nahi hai. Aap dinner kar lijiye, hum thoda sona chahte hai.", Amrita bhitar kamre me aundhi karwat liye thithil aankhon ke sath muskura rahi thi us tasvir ko apne chehre ke pas dekh kar. Aaj wo vastra badle he bister par thi jo thoda ast-vyast bhi tha jaise wo anginat karwat leti rahi ho bister pe. Saamne mej par rakha aadha khali juice ka gilaas jiske kinare par swayam Amrita ke hontho se utri coffee ke rang c laali lagi thi. Muskura kar apne chehre ke aage he baah karke wo jaise fir wahi sapne dekhne jaane wali thi jin par uski maa ki awaaj ne viraam laga diya tha lekin ye itna asaan bhi nahi tha.
"Darwaja toh kholo jara Amrita. Nahi hai khaane ka dil toh koyi baat nahi par baat sunogi hamari? Tumse salaah karna jaruri hai ek maamle me.", Ab Amrita bina he apni dasha dekhe khijti hui us disha me chal di darwaja kholne. Aur apni beti ko aise alsaya sa ast vyast dekhne ke baad rani maa ne wo alag sa noor bhi dekha jo is awastha me bhi Amrita ka abtak ka sabse khoobsurat chitran kar raha tha. Aisa unhone swayam kabhi nahi dekha tha lekin ye jo saamne thi aaj bilkul bhi anushasit-shaleen aur saleeke se nahi thi. Kurti kahi se upar niche, jagah jagah chunnat padi hui aur wo ghungrale kesh jinhe aksar Amrita bandhe rakhti thi ya dupatte-saree ke pallu se wo chhipe rehte the, aaj kahi chehre ke saamne se seene tak toh kahi dusre gaal par kandhe se aage. Chehre par aalas sirf najro me tha jabki chamak aur alag si surkhi.
"Dekhti rahogi maa? Aa jao andar ya rehne do aapke kamre me he chalte hai aaj toh?"
"Shhh. Hume bhitar aane do aur hamare kaksh me humne bulaya nahi aur na tumne waha dastak di thi. Hey ram.. ye rajkumari ka kamra he hai na ya hum kisi schooli bache ke kamre me pahuch gaye hai? Sirhane farsh par, chaadar dekho aur ye tumhara dupatta waha kursi par.. kitaabe mej se niche giri hui.. Amrita kahi tumne sharaab toh nahi pee?", Rani maa ke toh mooh par he hath chala aaya tha aur Amrita ab kahi ye sab dekh rahi thi jo uski maa ne bataya. Chehre par sharam aur pakde jaane ka darr lekin wo apni maa ke saamne bhi aajkal chanchalpan dikhane se baaj nahi aati thi.
"Hum soye the aur wo badi khidki khuli thi maa. Koyi bandar aaya hoga jisne ye sab kiya aur chala gaya. Dekho waha par fruits bhi rakhe hue the dher saare lekin ab thode he bache hai.", Rani maa takiye bister par rakhne ke sath khud he us ujli hui safed chaadar aur ek feet unche naram gaddo ko vyavasthit karne lagi. Amrita mooh chupati hui kitabe wapis table par tikati hui turant bister ki taraf lapki jaha uski maa pahuchne he wali thi. Ekmatra pehle se pade takiye ke niche se wo 3x5 ki photo nikaal kar wo palti toh ab maa bister ki taraf aage na badhti uske saamne khadi thi.
"Ye kaunsa bandar tha bitiya jo tray kele aur papaya chhod gaya? Aur hamari aalsi rajkumari ne aisi furti jis kaagaj ke liye dikhai hai, koyi shadyantra toh nahi wo jisme tum aur tumhara bandar shamil ho?", Ab wo maa he thi jo bache ko hansi majaak me he range hath pakad leti thi chahe bache kitne bhi bade kyun na ho jaaye.
"Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai maa. Wo toh bas ye jaruri kaagaj hai aur aap bed thik kar rahi thi jis se kahi ye diwar wali taraf na sarak jata. Haan aur hum bandar se dosti karne wale lagte hai kya aapko? Ab usko kya pasand hai kya nahi, ye uski marji. Aap aajkal bematlab bahot se anumaan lagane lagi hai.", Amrita asaani se haar swikaar karne walo me se nahi thi aur apni galti par toh bilkul bhi nahi jo rani maa atche se jaanti thi. Juice ka gilaas utha kar unhone bas ek baar sahi se dekha aur usko choti mej par rakhi tray me rakh diya. Tray me pehle se he coffee ka cup pada tha jisko hath tak nahi lagaya gaya tha aur sandwich jiska ek hissa he khaya gaya tha lekin waha bhi thodi si gehre bhoore rang ki parat thi, mamuli si. Apni maa ko aise wo sab gor se nirikshan karte dekh Amrita ne apne baal sahi karne ke sath thoda jism ko bhi vyavasthit kiya. Pata nahi ab wo kya pooch le aur Arjun ka batana bhi padega aur khud ko bachana bhi.
"Kamre me aur kaun aaya tha...
"Arjun nahi aaya tha maa. Matlab aaya tha par chala gaya tha.", Jaldbaaji me Amrita ne sawaal sunn ne se pehle he jawaab de diya tha. Usko yahi lag raha tha ke maa poochne wali hai 'Kamre me Arjun aaya tha'
"Haan chala toh gaya hai kyonki hume bhi thoda bahot dikhaai deta hai lekin ye bandar mehal ke niyam kanoon todne ke sath ab bhitar bhi utpaat machane laga hai. Kadi saja milegi is bandar ko hath lagne par."
"Ye sab Arjun ne nahi kiya maa.", Amrita ke chehre par pareshani dekh kar rani maa bas halke se muskuraayi fir wapis gambhir.
"Humne kab kaha ki Arjun ko saja denge? Hum toh us bandar ke liye keh rahe hai jo aajkal mehal me utpaat machane ke baad hamare shayan-kaksh tak aa pahcha. Bol dete hai prehriyo ko goli maar de ya jaal me pakad kar fir jungle me he chhod aaye. Hamari beti ka jhootha sandwich tak nahi chhoda us bandar ne.", Ab Amrita apne dono hath mooh par rakhti dhamm se bister par baith gayi aur uski haalat dekh kar Saundarya ji bhi sneh se uske sar pe hath ferte hue bagal me.
"Humne toh pehle he kaha tha beti ki wo manmohna tume jeena sikha dega. Wo in samajik ya shahi niyamo se kahi pare hai aur sabhi se prem karta hai chahe badle me saamne wala uska ahit he kyun na chahe. Tum chaand dekhte dekhte uske kareeb he pahuch gayi. Kahi paa toh nahi liya na us chaand ko?", Mamta ke sparsh se toh pathhar bhi bol uthte hai aur yaha toh ye chanchala thi jo apni maa aur bhai ki aankh ka sabse bahumulya noor. Amrita apni maa ki bagal se lagti hue apna chehra unke kandhe par rakhti hui shunya me jaise jawaab dhoondne lagi. Asaan nahi tha sab samjhana chahe maa khud samajhti thi aise haal ko.
"Chand kisi ek ka nahi hota maa lekin ye chaand bhi nahi hai. Haan aap thik kehti hai ki uska aakarshan kisi adrishya dor sa hai jisme mujh jaisi 37 baras ki aadhi adhuri duniya ki samajh rakhne wali aur hamesha niyam-daayro me rehni wali aisi aurat jo kayi sar jhuka sakti hai wo khud uske kadmo me girne lagi. Wo alag baat hai ki usne girne se pehle hume surakshit sambhaal liya. Mujhe aise maamlo ki samajh nahi hai maa lekin main ye naya badlaav pasand karti hu. Uske sath bachpan laut raha hai aur wo samay jis se anjaan bas main college aur uttradhikao me he reh gayi thi. Manmohna toh lafz he sahi nahi us farebi ke liye. Haan wo aapko aisi aisi duniya me le jata hai jo vastavikta se pare lagti hai, ek meetha fareb. Hum galat kar rahe hai rani maa lekin hume pachtava kyun nahi ho raha? Kyun aisa lagta hai ki humne pehli baar indradhanush ka saprsh kar liya hai. Uske wo rang har andhkar ko khud me sokh kar hume raat me bhi niharika (nebula) sa dikhate hai. Kitna khoobsurat lagta hai jab uske jaane ke baad bhi hum uski parchaayi ko apne aaspas he mehsoos karte hai. Jaante hai ye kahi se bhi samajik nahi hai lekin agar ghutan dur ho rahi hai toh fir hume iske badle har saja manjoor hai. Usko paane ki gustakhi nahi kar sakte, kabhi kabhi bas 2 ghadi milna bahot hoga.", Us shunya me khoyi Amrita ke chehre par itne bhaav aa rahe the ki koyi chitrakar unko chitrapatt par utaarne ke kabil na tha. Muskurate hue apni beti ke varnan ko sunti hui rani maa ke netra bhi sajal ho uthe the har lafz ko sunn aur mehsoos karke.
"Divya-pram kisi rishtey ka mohtaaj nahi hota beti aur jab ye itna gehra ho toh fir kya niyam aur kya unhe banane wale hum or ye samaaj. Aisa toh humne mehsoos karna toh dur vishwa ki kisi pustak ya granth me nahi padha. Wo tumne kaha na Niharika... England me humne kuch chitra dekhe the ajyaabghar me, wo kisi niharika ke he the aur hum vismrit the ki kya kudrat aise rang bhi dikha sakti hai. Waha us ghane andhkaar me toh toote taare samahit ho jaate hai fir ye indradhanushi rang jo atthahas karte us andhkar ko bhi apna gulaam banaye the. Arjun hamesha se he khaas hai thik waise he durlabh. Hum boodhe ho chale hai Amrita, tumhari behan hote na toh pratispardhi hote is maamle me. Hahaha..", Chehra saaf karti hui wo jis tarah muskuraai thi Amrita bhi utni aakarshak na lagti. Umar ke is padaav pe jaha baal chandi se ujle ho chale the, chehre par jhurriyan tak na thi aur har daant heere sa tarasha ek saar. Apne naam par Saundarya aaj tak barkaraar thi chahe unki beti hajaro dilo ki swapnil chaahat ho par Saundarya, unhe toh ateet me kabhi janta ke saamne na laya jata tha.
"Fir toh wo aapka ho ke he reh jata maa, aaj kam se kam wo ajaad parinda toh hai. Waise ek baat puche? Arjun se he judi hui hai aur agar aap jawaab dena chahe toh hume atcha lagega.", Amrita ne uth kar bister par dono ke takiye lagaye aur maa ko apne kareeb he letne ki pyaari arzi lagaai. Saundarya ji jaane kin vicharo me khoyi khush thi ki haan kar baithi apni beti ke bagal me sahi karwat se leti.
"Arjun aur baapu ji ko toh humne compare karke dekha aur thoda samjha. Wo samajh aa sake the lekin ye mastmaula sa hai aur bahot alag bhi unse bilkul ulat. Baapu ji gambhir insaan the jitna hume pata aur suna, wo hanste bolte honge par niyam aur vachan unke liye sarvopari the. Apne naam ke sath maa ka naam likhte the aur is wajah se he unhone kabhi charitra par aanch na aane di. Arjun aapko unke jaisa kaha se laga? Wo toh chhalliya hai na? Aur Pandit ji jaise na toh sanrakshak aur na kisi vachan me bandha. Fir wo baapu ji ka waaris bana kaise jabki Inder bhaiya toh kahi jyada is maamle me baapu ji jaise hai."
"Kisne kaha ke Arjun vachan me nahi bandha hua? Wo ajaad dikhta hai lekin hum aur tum uske sirf ansh maatra se parichit hai. Swayam pandit ji Arjun ka maan karte hai chahe wo kehte ya dikhate nahi. Baapu ji swayam waaris nahi the beti bas unhone virasat supurd kar di thi aur waaris bann ne ke niyamo par koyi khara nahi utra chahe wo Umed ho, Shankar, Inder, Vinod ya Kumar he kyun nahi. Haan Kumar bhi ban sakta tha unki virasat ka maalik par wo un sharto pe khara nahi utra jo baapu ji ne apne dil se likhi thi. Arjun ne school ke sath sath anadhikrit shahi shiksha bhi grehan ki jaisa hamare samay ke baad nahi hua. Wo aatmik, baudhik aur sharirik bal ki pariksha school khatam karne se pehle uttrin kar chuka hai. Usko sikhana nahi sirf batana padta hai aur wo waisa kar deta. Sabse khaas hai uske rakt me daya ka bhaav jo swayam Pandit ji me bhi kabhi kabhi nahi hota. Baaki sabke toh hath bhi khoon se range hai.", Sochte hue rani maa kuch bechain se hone lagi thi aur Amrita ne ye bhi bhaanp liya.
"Aap uske baare me ye sab jaanti hai lekin kuch aisa hai jo aap chaah kar bhi bol nahi paa rahi maa. Wo khoon toh Shankar bhaiya ka he hai aur aage Pandit ji aur fir baapu ji. Toh wo durlabh kaise hai maa? Aur ab hamara ek aur sawaal hai jiska jawaab hum chahte hai aapki beti hone ke taur par. Aaj Arjun purane raanighar me aaya tha hume khojne aur waha uski maa ki tasvir thi. Ye ittefaaq nahi ho sakta maa kyonki 100 baras purani painting ka chehra aaj ki Rekha ji jaisi kaise ho sakti hai? Aur ye Arjun baapu ji jaisa dikhta hai matlab wo aurat.. wo unki maa thi jinki painting waha dhool me band thi?", Ab Amrita pareshan thi aur rani maa khamosh.
"Arjun ne kaise dekha us tasvir ko Amrita? Aur uski kya pratikriya thi?"
"Wo bas hum... Uske sath shararat karte hue bhaag rahe the.. aur hamare peeche bhagte Arjun ka galiyare me paanv fisal gaya, girne se bachne ke liye usne wo parda thaam liya jis se painting dhanki hui thi. Lekin wo gir gaya tha aur painting uski aankhon ke saamne aa gayi. Par usne jyada utsaah nahi dikhaya shuru me hairaan hone ke baad. Wo keh raha tha ki thodi bahot uski maa us painting wali aurat jaisi hai. Aur wo usko utaar kar dekhne laga lekin koyi naam nahi mila. Na painting banane wale ka na us aurat ka. Keh raha tha ke wo aapse baat karega uske baare me. Lekin Arjun taal gaya par aap toh jaanti hongi na uske baare me kyonki najar toh aap bhi Arjun ki maa se chura rahi thi. Wo bahot khoobsurat hai, aapse bhi lekin wo bas bahu hai Pandit ji ke pariwar ki, hai na maa? Koyi aur wajah toh nahi hai na iske peeche?"
"Koyi wajah nahi hai beti, tumhari kasam ye sab sanyog he hai aur hume nahi pata ki ye ab kyun dohraya ja raha hai. Wo tasvir hamare janam ke pehle se he udhar rahi hai aur unke barabar kisi ki bhi nahi lagaai gayi. Maa se poochte the toh wo yahi kehti thi ki wo devi hai aur pita ji toh hamesha darbaar me jaane se pehle unke saamne hath jodd kar jaate the lekin unhone bhi yaha bataya ki ye unke janam se he udhar hai kisi khaas ki. Tab bhi us tasvir par saanjh dhalte parda ho jata tha aur subah hataya jata tha. Humne wo chehra bachpan se dekha tha aur har roj dekha. Jab hum Pandit ji ke pariwar se mile the toh pehli baar Rekha ko dekhte he hum seham gaye jaane kis wajah se. Wo Shankar ki biwi hai, yahi parichaya mila tha. Arjun ko toh humne swaya tumhare sath he waha vivaah avsar par dekha jo us waqt abhaas dilata tha baapu ji ke vyaktitva ka. Jis din waha se wapis laute humne bharsak koshish ki is kadi ko samajhne aur suljhane ki lekin Rekha udhar he agle shehar se, sampann pariwar jo Pandit ji ka purana sathi raha hai inke vivaah se bhi pehle se. Hume pata hai ki humne galat tarah se chhanbin karwaayi par hamari pareshani bhi nirarthak nahi hai Amrita."
"Haan ho bhi kaise sakti hai maa jab aapne itne baras wo chehra dekha jikse baare me koyi jaankari he nahi aur is umar me wo sakshaat saamne aa khada ho toh darr bhi lagega. Arjun bhaiya aur Pandit ji ki jagah baapu ji jaisa dikhta hai aur Rekha ji us barso purani painting jaisi. Aapas me Arjun aur Rekha ji ka rishta maa bete ka hai. Baapu ji ki maa toh nahi hai wo painting wali?"
"Mumkin nahi hai aisa hona beti. Unki tasvir yaha kaise ho sakti hai jaha swayam baapu ji ka pravesh varjit tha.? Par unhe devi kaha jata tha aur Rekha ke liye aise vichaar swayam Kaushalya ji ke hai. Dekha nahi waaris me swayam Rekha sanrakshak hai aur ek maa ne swayam bete ko vachan ke supurd kar diya. Itna bada dil har maa ka nahi hota aur wo bhi jab pehle se he ek navjaat kho chuke ho pariwar me. Khair aaye toh the tumse alag baat par charcha karne lekin pehle tumhare bandar ne hume hairaan kar diya aur ab ateet ne jiske jawaab toh dene wala he koyi zinda nahi bacha."
"Kar lijiye jo baat karni hai maa. Waise bhi 3 ghante soye hai hum abhi."
"Usko sona nahi sochna kehte hai, khayalo me sochna. Arjun hamare kaksk me sandesh chhod kar gaya tha jaane se pehle ki kal main aur tum Mahendra ke sath waha dargaah par aaye. Uski gujaarish hai mujhse lekin tum dono nahi gaye toh wo idhar nahi aane wala fir. Dekh lo kaise fareb karta hai ye tumhara farebi. Saaf nahi kaha ke mujhse bhi nahi milega, kyonki uske liye bhi idhar he aana padega aur hum apni beti ko akele bhejne nahi waale. Pehle hum kabhi aise manch par nahi gaye Amrita aur jab Arjun me apne bete ko dekhte hai toh mamta par darr haavi hone lagta hai."
"Aap apni mamta se bandhi rahiye lekin mujhe wo pehle he mana chuka hai aane ke liye aur Pandit ji se bhi kehalwa diya hai jab usne ghar phone kiya tha yaha aane ke baad.", Amrita ko wapis chehakte dekh rani maa muskurati hui naa me sar hilati hui khush ho rahi thi.
"Tumhe wo kaise manayega jab tum pehle he maani-manaai ho. Mujhe bhi jana padega beti, wo toh mehal aane nahi wale lekin milna jaruri hai. Bas yahi poochne aayi thi ki tum chalogi? Mujhe atcha lagta tumhari haan se par tum pehle he usko haan kar baithi jo fir bhi humse ijajat le raha tha. Chalo, tum araam karo ya fir wo kagaj nikal kar chehra niharo. Main apne kamre me ja rahi hu aur tumhara bhojan sewika yahi pahucha degi jab itcha ho. Waise bhookh-pyaas wali baatein suni thi lekin aaj yakeen ho gaya. Shubratri.", Ab Amrita kaise kehti ki aaj toh Arjun ne bas thode he prem-rang barsaye the lekin wo utne ko bhi tayaar na thi par fir bhi uske sath beh gayi. Aaj uske hontho ki surkhi isi bister par wo farebi atche se saaf karke gaya tha jiske bas kache khwaab he dekhe the Amrita ne aur wo kehne ki koshish karti us se pehle he wo mann padh chuka tha. Kisi phool ki tarah apne pehlu me uthaye aaj Arjun ne bister, mej aur yaha tak ki diwar se laga kar Amrita ke achhote badan par har taraf sparsh kiya tha sirf 2 khaas ango ko mehfooj rakhte hue, jinhe wo jald he tasalli se dekhne aur pyaar karne wala tha.

"Khaane ke waqt toh aaj sabke sath bade chehak rahe the lekin yaha halaat bilkul alag hai. Aur kamra band kyun kiya tha?", Raat gehrane ke sath he Arjun bhojan ke baad sabse thodi bahot baatein karke Vinod chacha ke sath tehalne chala gaya tha. Ye log kareeb ek ghante baad laute the aur chacha kapde badal kar apne kamre me sone chale gaye aur Arjun apna pitara liye is kamre me band ho gaya. Aanchal ke aane par usne wapis baksa band karte hue usko almari me rakh kar darwaja khola. Ek baar toh wo bhi thoda seham gaya tha kyonki Aanchal ka uske kamre me aise raat me aana kisi ko bhi khatak sakta tha lekin ab aa gayi thi aur wo khush dikh rahi thi.
"Koyi halaat nahi badle hai bas thodi der padhne ke baad sone he wala tha. Subah jaldi tayaar hona hai aur fir waha dekho ye log mere sath kya karte hai. Waise aap khush lag rahi ho, aao thodi der baithte hai fir padhaai kar lunga.", Arjun ne rasta diya toh Aanchal ne bhitar daakhil hote he halke se uska gaal choom liya. Wo bharpoor chanchalta se dhamm se bister par ja pasri jaise ye kamra in nav-dampatti ka ho. Arjun ke sath bahot hadd tak fursat paa chuki thi Aanchal chahe uski sharam kuch haavi hoti lekin dil me Arjun kahi jyada gehra baith chuka tha.
"Aapki naani aur nana me se koyi dekh leta toh pata hai kya hota?", Arjun chalta hua bister ke dusri taraf tek lagate hue pasar gaya. Darwaja chitakni lagaye bina band kiya tha filhaal jo Aanchal dekhte hue mooh bana chuki thi.
"Naani toh na uthne wali subah 5 baje se pehle aur late bhi ho sakta hai. Aur nana koyi soye bhi ek ghanta ho chuka toh fikar kis baat ki? Aur gaal pe he toh kiss kiya hai, bade aaye pareshan hone wale.", Arjun atche se Aanchal ke chehre aur fir uske kase hue bina baah ke top aur chust pajame ko dekhta hua muskura bhar diya. Aanchal bharpoor jawaan aur aakarshak yuvti thi chahe bahri duniya me kam dilchaspi rakhti rahi lekin dekhne wala toh bas aisi he sangini aur premika ki kaamna karta tha. Youvan ke bharpoor uthaan aur patli kamar ke sath uske chehre ki alag si saadgi aur tarashe hue bhare bhare honth. Arjun paas khisak kar uske samtal peit par hath rakhte hue haule se sehlane laga toh Aanchal ki saanein aniyantrit ho chali aur hath wahi daba liya.
"Ab pata laga jab khud par aayi? Daadi soyi hai lekin unki neend kachi bahot hai. Aur 2 kamro ke baad chacha ka kamra hai jo abhi jaage bhi ho sakte hai. Waise dekh raha hu ki tum abhi abhi naha kar aayi ho aur ye kapde kahi se tumhari naani ke maapdand par khare nahi utarte.",Ab Aanchal halke se hanste hue uske kandhe par maarne lagi thi.
"Unhe neend ki goli khilaai hai nana ji ne. Keh rahi thi ki thakaan mehsoos kar rahi hai par neend bhi nahi aa rahi. Fir maine wahi goli unke doodh me bhi mila di. Goli chaba ke khaati hai na toh kya he doodh ka swaad pata chalta. Aur mama apne kaam me lage honge agar nahi soye toh. Waise pehle wo bol rahe the ke tum AC me so jao unke kamre me lekin maami ne kaha ke Arjun apne kamre me soyega. Usko padhna hota hai. Bada dhyaan rehta hai maami ko tumhara. Nahi?", Arjun samajh raha tha ke Aanchal kaha ishara kar rahi hai chahe majaak me sahi lekin usne bhi baat ka rukh badal kar us kasi hui tshirt ke peit wali taraf se andar ungliyan pahucha di. Makhmal sa naram wo naabhi wala hissa abhi nahane ki wajah se alag si thandak bhara tha lekin Arjun ke is sparsh se Aanchal ne apni taange kass li. Wo wahi haule haule us chikni twacha ko sehlate hue thoda aage badh raha tha aur Aanchal khud he apna chehra Arjun ke gale par rakhti usko choomne lagi. Jyada samay nahi gujra jab wo khud uske peit par baithi bade pyaar se ye dhimre chumban kar rahi thi. Kabhi Arjun uske ek honth ko mooh me bharte hue choosta toh kabhi Aanchal ye dohrati. Badan par chipi tshirt ke bhitar Arjun ke hatho ka saprsh jaise he un bhare hue chucho ki jadd me mehsoos hua, Aanchal kaanpti hui Arjun se kas ke lipat gayi. Wo uttejjana ke charam par thi aur ye bhi parwah nahi ki koyi unhe dekh bhi sakta hai chahe khidki darwaje band he sahi, chitakni nahi lagi thi.
"Ohhh.. Tum jaanboojh ke aisa karte ho na? Shaam ko jab aayi thi tab bhi aise he tadpa ke chhod diya aur ab bhi..", Arjun ke hath apni peeth ko sehlate dekh Aanchal ki chetna lauti. Arjun ne vaksho ko pakde bina he hath khinch liye the lekin Aanchal ki garmi 10 minute ke is halke sparsh aur gehre chumbano se he apni charam par ja pahuchi thi jisko Arjun ne ekdum he thanda kar diya, harkate band karke. Aanchal ke chehre ko apne saamne dekh Arjun ne chehre par aaya paseena apne hath se sehla kar hatate hue jawaab diya.
"Kaha tha na ki sab araam araam se aur pyaar se. Jaanta hu aapko kuch jyada he jaldi hai lekin aapki wo badi wajah toh maine dur kar he di na? Na ya aapki maa hai aur na ab Vinod chacha aapko us drishti se dekhte hai. Jab dil bhi mera aur aap bhi, toh itna besabar nahi hona. Haan thoda jaanboojh ke kiya lekin kya ye sab atcha nahi laga?", Aanchal ab sharam se najre churati hui uske seene ko kured rahi thi.
"Atcha bhi laga aur bura bhi. Us din ke baad mujhe sabkuch ajeeb sa lagta hai Arjun. Akele sone par wahi dikhta hai aur fir tumhara chehra. Uske baad bas yahi lagta hai ki tum waise he mujhe thaame raho aur koyi hadd na ho. Neend khulti hai toh khud ki soch par he jhunjla jaati ho lekin fir wahi haalat jab tum saamne aate ho aur dil wahi chahat jaahir kar deta hai. Apna lo na mujhe, wo chahat bahot mushkil hai har raat sambhalni.", Arjun ka hath khud he Aanchal ne apne ubhre hue seene par tika diya tha. Unka wo ehsaas aur akaar shabdo me bayaan karne laayak na tha. Kapde ke bhitar ye gol ubhar bina kisi pinjre ke khule the lekin unki sakhti aur golaai adhbhutt. Arjun unhe agar abhi masalta toh yakinan wo khud samay se pehle is raat he Aanchal ko ladki se aurat bana deta. Waise bhi wo Madhuri didi ki humumar thi lekin kaam-gyaan lagbhag shunya. Jo bhi dekha tha wo bas ghinona vaasna ka khel jo uski maa ka he rehta tha vibinn sathiyon sang. Wo uttjit jarur thi lekin vaasna me andhi nahi.
"Kal ka din do mujhe Aanchal, uske baad pehal main he karunga. Mujhe bhi pal bhulaye nahi bhoolta jab tumhe bathroom me dekha tha. Aane wali dusri raat bas hum dono honge Aanchal aur subah hone tak main tumhe sone nahi dene wala. Khawahish hai ek, fir se tumhe waise he dekhne ki lekin us raat.", Aanchal toh sharam se dohri ho chali thi wo drishya yaad karte hue jaha Arjun ne uska ek taraf se aadha vaksh aur pichla samoocha hissa dekha tha, paani se bhiga aur jisma par ekmatra vastra bas panty thi, bhigi hui.
"Aisa bolo na ki aaj ki raat bhi sone nahi doge mujhe. Chalti hu, tum padh lo. Jyada besir-pair ki khwahishe matt bataya karo.", Is baar uske uthne se pehle Arjun ne majbooti se dono sughad lachile nitambh pakad kar dabate hue apne honth fir se Aanchal se chipka diye the. Is baar Aanchal ne wo ang apni achhooti jugni ke niche mehsoos kiya tha jo uksi kalpana aur Damini ke sansargiyon walo ke aujaar se kahi jyada he bhishan tha. Halka abhaas toh usko Arjun ne uske ghar he karwa diya tha par abhi wo uske upar baithi thi jo kapde ke upar se he apni sakhti aur garmi se uski yonki ko chetawani de raha tha lekin uski yoni ke iraade toh viprit he the jo milne ke liye abhi se aansu tapkane lagi thi. Aanchal chumban samapt hote he bister se uchalti hui bina Arjun ko dekhe darwaja khol kar apne kamre me band ho gayi. Arjun khamoshi se hans raha tha apni baniyaan par Aanchal dwara chhodi us geeli chaap ko dekhte hue. Ling naabhi ki taraf akdaa hua us se bhi aage the.
'Shaant raha kar thoda. Yaha pehle aur bhi jaruri kaam hai lekin tu sar utha le pehle. Aaj Jass darling milne wali hai tujhse, fir 2 din pareshan matt kariyo yar.', Arjun apne ling ko sahi karta hua jaise usko mana raha tha khush karne ke sath. Lekin apne kamre ke bhitar qaid hui Aanchal toh pajama utaar kar bathroom me he ghuss chuki thi. Aaj uska itne se he sakhallan ho gaya tha jo panty na hone ki wajah se patle kapde se bahar tak mehsoos hua.
'Bade Pandit ji, ab jara aapki bhi sunn le thodi, fir humko bhi sukoon lene jana hai kyonki chain toh aap lene nahi dete.', Darwaja is baar atche se band kar diya tha Arjun ne kyonki ab wo kisi aahat se bhi hilne nahi wala tha.

"Likhna bhi ek kathin karya hai aur ab hum samajhte hai kyun Krishan vidyalya jaane se katrata tha. Aaj hume ghar gaye hue 5 din ho chuke hai parantu grehsthi se kuch badhkar samajik dayitva aur prant ki sukh shanti hai. Isko bhang karne wale bhi apne he ho toh mushkile aur jyada. Pehle he in apno ne peeth dhakne laayak nahi chhodi aur us se ubar sakte lekin prabhu Narayan jaise iski ijajat nahi dete. Balwinder ke saale sahab wo Jyotsana ke bhai Sumedh ne gehri saajish rachi thi jisme sarkari hastshep judwa kar wo alag mansube paale baitha tha. Balwinder par he humla karwa diya jab wo suraksha bina janta ke beech tha. Kshetra kuch sarhad se bahar tha aur waha ke prashashan ne toh likha padhi tak se inkaar kar diya. Main toh pehle se he Rana ke khilaaf tha usko suraksha adhikari banane ke lekin Balwinder kabhi kabhi dil-dimaag se nahi chalta. Ghayal hua par bach gaya ganimat hai. Darbar, janta aur yaha ki jimmewariyon ke sath Balwinder ki bhi dekhbhal bhi jaruri hai. Haan 4 log dhoond kar kaat diye humne aur ek ko waha jiwit chhod diya aur ek ko sath le aaye. Jiwit isliye ki Sumedh ko maloom rahe ki hamari talwar kisi sarhad aur prashashan anusaar nahi chalti. Isko hamare hath chalate hai jab jab koyi hamare apne ko thes pahuchane ki himakat karta hai. Rana sabse pehle adrishya ho gaya khabar milte he. Jaane dete hai usko abhi nahi toh videsh baithi Jyotsana pehli baar hume apshabd kahegi. Parso Krishan aaya tha bhojan le kar cycle se, pagal hai thoda jo garmi bhi nahi dekhta. Bata raha tha ke ghar pe badi bahu aur bache aaye hai. Devaki bahu ki tabiyat thik nahi hai, garbhvati hone ki wajah se.
Ab kya kahe is hamare saral-buddhi ko? Inki maa ne kehlawa bhi bheja ki agar mehal ka khana itna he pasand hai toh unki haweli 10 kos dur kyu banwa di humne. Khair wo toh aise he kabhi kabhi shikayat karti hai jis se hume dhyaan rahe ki unke hatho ka bhojan hamari har pareshani, thakaan aur bhookh shaant kar deta hai. Devaki ki bhai aaye the usko livane ke liye peehar aur jab hume iski jaankari mili toh spasht na kar di humne. Chalbaajo ko toh neend me bhi pakad lete hai fir ye toh ab rishteydar ho chuke hai. Kaise hamare ghar ki santaan us narak me paida hone de? Bhunbhunati hai toh hoti rahe lekin wapis peehar toh jaane nahi denge. Hamare nalayak bete ko Devaki ne he fansa tha apne is Netram ke kehne par aur ye kaisa bhai hua jo behan ko he gair-mard ke niche nirvxxx karwa de? Aajtak Krishan ne hume ye nahi bataya ki wo aakhir kis se milne gaya tha aur uski preyasi ki jagah ye kalawati kaise uske pehlu me aa baithi. Ab ye aadikaal toh nahi jaha ladka ladki bina vastro ke dekhe jaaye toh samanya lagega. Upar se janta me wo munshi ke suputra hai aur beesiyon log drishya ke gawaah bann gaye. Us din atcha rehta ki Sangi he uske sath hota ya wo koyi katal kar deta. Katal toh dur ki baat hai is piddi se kidi ka dard nahi dekha jata. Ab wo prashikshit abhinetri ro kar shor machayegi toh bechara ghabrayega he. Dusre praant ki panchayat se fainsla aaya ki Munshi Motilal ji ke suputra agar aisa udaharan pesh karenge toh kaise bahu betiyon ka kalyaan hoga? Inki mata ji toh maa mahima hai jinhone bol diya ke mere bete ne usko hath lagaya hai toh ab wo unki bahu hui. Is hisaab se hamari toh 15 aur banti hai lekin kya wo hume aisa karne dengi? Bhool kar bhi iska sangyaan hua toh na munshi rahenge na vajeer, fakeer bann na padega. Aksar hum saral insaan dil se fainsle le lete hai un logo ko sammaan dene ke liye jinke mann me viprit vichaar aur uddeshya rehte hai. Bade bete ki bhi shaadi karwani padi aur unke is piddi ki bhi sath he, umar se pehle ye bhi kar liya hamare chote suputra ne lekin 5 baras kata kata raha apni is anchahi biwi se. Ab paanv bhari kar diye toh sabse bachta firta hai jaise koyi sawaal na pooch le is jaadu ka jo usne kar dikhaya. Hahaha.. bahot he bhola hai mera ye bacha aur hamari chinta bhi yahi hai ki hamare jaane ke baad agar Raame iska dhyaan na rakh saka toh sab barbaad bhi ho sakta hai.
Beete saawan me Raame ne bada ajeeb kaam karwaya jab 8-10 logo ko liye wo purane ghar ke malbe ko saaf karwane laga. Pichla hissa girwa diya tha humne aur baad me banwaya hua hai usme mehal ke pramukh sewako ke 5 pariwar rehte hai ab. Raame se wajah poochi toh pehle toh kehta raha ke wo bas saaf safaai karwa raha hai lekin fir raat me jab lauta toh ye gaanv wali haweli me isne jhoola dala tha sabse pehle, haweli toh baad me bani. Us jhoole ko kabhi hilata toh kabhi rok leta. Hum galiyare me baithe in janaab ki ye paagal harkat dekhte rahe jabtak sehan hua. Jab uth kar kareeb gaye toh wo hadbada gaya, aankhen bhigi hui aur Guddi 5 baras wale kapdo me rooyi bhar ke ye usko jhoola jhula raha tha. Ek wahi toh thi jisko kamar pe taang ke ye kahaniya sunata hua mohalle me ghoomta rehta tha. Guddi ne kaha ke idhal ghola bano toh raste me bhi jhuk jata tha apni behan ke liye. Vidyalaya se aane ke baad sabse jaruri karya toh yahi hota tha na ki Guddi ko goad me uthana hai chahe fir wo 3 saal he chhoti thi lekin Raame ka sarvasva he thi uski behan aur hamari Guddi. Raghu bhi utna he karta tha lekin wo ijhaar kam kyonki majboot vyakti hai. Raame naukri par ya jiwan me sakht insaan hai lekin wo sanvdanshil hai thik apni maa ki tarah. Pakde jaane par raat ko he nikal gaya apne biwi bacho ke paas. 5 ghante baad bhi jana tha lekin chalo ab kya keh sakte hai jab hum khud he uske mitra na bann sake. Yaha aate hai toh dard ke sath ye anubhooti bhi rehti hai ki hum apni beti se uski saaligirah par milne aa rahe hai. Waise wo akshya-tritya ko janmi thi par chhata saal hai na usko gaye hue aaj he ke din toh yahi soch lete hai ki Guddi ke bahane apni anjaan ummeed se bhi dil ka haal bayaan kar denge. Hum tehkhane me utarne ki himmat ek baar juta sakte hai lekin us kaksh ki taraf laalten bhi nahi dikha sakte.
Us raat ke baare me Balwinder ne humse pehli baar sawaal kiye the jaise usko sandeh hua ho ki hum kuch jaante hai. Pita ji aur Bhupendra ji ka shav utarte hue kuch tukde toh preahriyon ke hatho me he aa gire the aur 4 log behosh hue so hue. Is haweli ke bhitar aniginat kate fate shav dekh kar us waqt ke suraksha-pramukh ne ulti he kar di thi, kitna diler hai na Rana? Tabhi toh bhaag khada hua saamna karne ki jagah. Ab kaise kehte Balwinder se ki hamari jagah wo hota toh uski rooh bhi kaanp uthti. Lekin mara jata wo agar hamari jagah hota. Aaj bhi hum khudse sawaal karte hai ki kyun hum dhairyavaan na bane aur dimaag se kaam lete toh Sreedhar ko pichle dwaar se bhaagne na dete. Ghir gaye the hum aur tehkhaane se aati cheenkhon ne Sreedhar ko humse bacha liya. Suna tha ke usme aseem bal hai aur us se nidar koyi nahi. Saamna karta toh hum us dusht ko sacche sewak ki taqat se parichit karwate, beshak jiwait na rehte par ye bojh bhi dil par nahi rehta ki wo jiwit hai. Haan wo kahi se bhi insaan nahi hai, na sharir se aur na soch se. Jab usko darbaar se mukti de di gayi thi toh hamare he pita ne usko maha-gyata aur saadhak bata kar raaj-kosh sahayta sucharu rakhwai. Aise toh prabhu bholenath ke upasak nahi hote. Jo hote hai unhe humne he ruswa kar diya. Aajtak hamare seene ke upari hisse me kabhi kabhi dard hota hai 6 saal hone ko aaye lekin hum us pavitra aatama ke maatra halke he dhakke se door ja gire the. Wo hota prakram aur kshamta saadhna ki jisme sirf aur sirf parmeshwar aur jankalyaan ki bhala karne ki taqat hoti hai. Gaye the shaitaan ka pata poochne aur unko gussa dila baithe jo madad kar sakte the. Roothe hue saadhak ke paas lautne ki galti nahi karenge, intjaar kar lenge hum us din ka jab Sreedhar apne dum-kham sahit lautega, wo sahi waqt par jarur aayega agar usko apni taaqat par itna he ghamand hai. Par hai pakka shadyantrakari aur ghaagh jisko kisi ki parwaah nahi siwaye apne naam aur aseem taqat ki.
Tum bas itna kar dena mitra agar sakushal tehkhane tak pahuch sako, in bachhiyon ko mukti dilwa dena. Hum aisa nahi kar sakte kyonki hamare khudke hath khoon se range hai aur idhar wahi aa paayega jiske dil me dusre ke dard ko apna dard banane ka sahas ho. Tum yaha aaoge toh khud he jaan jaoge ki tum kyun humse behtar ho. Main aanewali peedhi me koyi vajeer nahi dekhna chahta aur na he koyi vyapari-santri-mantri.. Main insaan dekhna chahta hu, ek aisa insaan jo raksha karne par aaye toh 10 Sreedhar bhi jhuka de aur 20 Motilal bhi. Dil me prem, kshamadaan, dusre ke dard me dard aur dusro ki khushi me bhale he shamil na ho sako lekin khush raho. Sampatti toh Vidwaan Raavan ki bhi nahi rahi lekin unke gyaan ko devta bhi maante the. Main waisi he bhavishya ki peedhi chahta hu jo samaaj ke bematlab niyam bhale na maane par samaaj me udaharan bane, pariwar ko samay de aur usko jodd kar rakhe. Humne suna hai hamari maa aisi he thi, thoda he suna hai aur baaki kuch dhundli yaadein hai. Unhone insaan ko insaan samjha, har jeev ko punya aatma aur har jaruratmand par apne auchitya anusaar madad. Haan kuch maamlo me unhone jyada madad bhi ki hogi aur wo samarth thi. Humse bahot pyaar karti thi aur beta tum, tum jitna ho sake apni maa ko waqt dena jab bhi samay ho itne vyast jiwan me. Wo kabhi gujarish nahi karegi aur na kahegi ki usko tumhare samay ki jarurat hai. Vyast hone ka dikhawa karegi jis se tum apna samay apni marji anusaar jee sako. Par yakeen karo, akelepan aur dard me sabse pehle smaran bhi he aati hai.. aahh maa.. Ye lafz he nahi poori duniya hai jis se tum duniya me aaye ho. Fir chahe poori duniya haansil kar lo lekin agar maa ka saya nahi hai na toh wo bematlab hai. Tumhe tumhari bharya (biwi) samajh sakti hai, behan sneh de sakti hai khayaal rakhne ke sath ya wo log jo tumse pyaar karte hai wo sukh-dukh me khade ho sakte hai sath. Lekin 'main yahi hu beta' lafz keh kar tumhe apne seene se kisi bhi umar me laga lene wali maa har dukh aur dard ka raambaan hai. Duniya me sabse bada sukh aur dard maatrtva hai aur wo mahila ko he mila kyonki purush taqatwar ho sakta hai, sharir se majboot bhi lekin sehanshakti ki parkashtha agar koyi hai toh wo bas maa. Hume he dekh lo, ghar pe maa intjaar nahi kar rahi hai isliye toh awara hai 50 ke hone par bhi. Wo pyaar se kaan pakad kar jab narajgi dikhati hai na beta toh bas chehre ko yaad karte he hum is duniya se kat jaate hai. Baba kehte hai ki hamari maa ka naam Anuradha isliye rakha gaya tha kyonki wo us nakshatra me he paida hui thi aur unki aabha kise chamakte sitare si thi, jaise surya bhi ek sitara hai. Hamari samajh me toh ye ek devi ka naam tha jitna pustak-purano me padh kar naam ke Pandit bane, kaam toh kasaai se bhi bura hai.
Is haweli ko girana matt beta, samaaj me aise kala dhabba bhi maujood rehna chahiye. Waise toh humne iski saaf safaai karwa di thi jitni munasib thi lekin hum chahte hai ki tum apna kaam karne ke baad isko aise he chhod dena. Prakriti swayam iski kismat likhegi. Nadi kinare itne khoobsurat jagah jaha se hum bachpan me chhat par khade reh kar heeran, khargosh, hariyaali aur is khoobsurat nadi ka avlokan karte the. Ye khoobsurati kukarmo ne he bhang ki hai iska saboot rehna chahiye. Kabhi bhitar naa aa sako toh un bachiyon ke hisaab se bahar vriksh ropit kar dena, wo swayam bade aur chhayadar hone ke sath is haweli ko prakriti me mila lenge. Baarish tufaan me junglee janwar sharan lene lage hai idhar jo atchi baat hai. Keemti yaha kuch nahi hai ab siwaye tehkhaane ke dard aur rudan ke. Chalte hai beta, aaj ghar he nikalte hai. Seene me halka sa dard hai aur mehal ke kamre shayan-kaksh sirf naam se hai. Unke sukoon nahi aur aaj hum sona chahte hai. Laddu matlab Shankar aaya hua hai aur wo apni maa ko bahot pareshan karta hai jabki badi bahu ki goad me Inder hai lekin ye sahab usko hata dete hai jaisa saptaah pehle humne dekha. 6 din ho gaye bacho ko dekhe toh subah unke sath rahunga. Raju galat dada ki sangat me reh raha hai lekin kya kahe ab. Krishan ko bhi wo bahot pasand hai aur dono goonge aapas me baat karte hai. Chalte hai beta, prabhu Narayan tumhari rakhsa kare aur Devi Lakshmi apna aashirad banaye rakhe.
Naam likh dena kisi vriksh par ki hum kaun hain ya the. Niche apna rishta aur naam. Is tarah hum ek ho jaayenge aur mil bhi lenge. Wo bhi toh jiwan he hai.
Pratiksha me,
Pandit Motilal Anuradha Sharma

"Kya bade pandit ji, aaj toh aapne sachmuch maa ki kami mehsoos karwa di. Main bhi hamesha unke saaye me he rehna chahta hu lekin aap jaise mahnubhav hai jinke sath ek atoot rishta aur virasat mili hai toh dur hona padta hai. Waha unke kareeb hota hu toh pehle se daavedar bahot hai, sabse badi toh wahi jiske liye samaaj pehle he daav par laga baitha hu. Aaj jitni kismat meharbaan hai na meri, utni he buri hone wali hai bhavishya me aur fir dekhunga aapke Raame mera sath dete hai ya nahi. Us se pehle kahi maa he na bedapaar kar de, waise bhi khamosh insaan se khatarnaak koyi nahi hota. Aap jo bhi the insaan bahot sache the bade Pandit ji lekin wo 15 wali baat par main kuch bata deta hu aapko, ye aankda abhi se dugna hone wala hai mera. Aur iska pata kisi ko chala toh main toh fakeer bhi nahi rahunga.", Arjun padhne ke bawjood us patra me jaise koyi chehra dekhta hua baat kar raha tha. Wo itna leen tha usme ki uske haav-bhaav aise badal rahe the jaise saamne sachmuch koyi gehra mitra baitha ho, raajdar.
"Ye Devaki na aapse sambhli aur na ab mere bas ki hai. Aapki badi bahu ko he jimme lagana padega inhe sudharne ke aur saja bhi wahi dengi, main jara kamjor hu in maamlo me. Waise main bhi shahi-khaandan me fasal badhane ki soch raha hu, bura lage toh koyi baat nahi. Aapki bhi bahot si baatein buri lagi lekin main shikayat nahi kar raha. Aap bhi matt karna aur isme prem shaamil hai bol deta hu ki ektarfa nahi hai. Kal dekho aapke laayak suputra ji ko kaise akhaade ke baad meethi patakhni deta hu main. Unhe bhi toh thodi khushi milni chahiye na bade bau ji? Ek behan jo duniya ho usko khone ka dard toh aise sanvedna bhare bhai ke dil me jiwan-paryant rehta hai. Aur wo mere bhi sabkuch hai jinki awaaj mooh se chahe na nikalti ho par dil se main sunn leta hu ki wo kya chahte hai. Unhone he tapasya ki hai jo main is laayak bann raha hu ki us haweli me paudhe laga saku, maali banane wali tapasya nahi balki jiwan ko itna pragaadh banane ki. Unke 3 bete hai par mehnat sabse jyada mujhpar ki aur main unhe asafal hone nahi de sakta. Lekin ek vaada karta hu aapse, maa ke saaye me rahunga antim samay tak. Thoda chintan kar lete hai, aaj garbh-gyaan ke waqt toh jaise marene he wala tha.", Arjun ab wo pal yaad karte he jaise usme he kho gaya.
"Bahot bhale insaan hai Vajranand ji aur aaj unhone jo jiwan gyaan dilwaya na mujhe baba Taaraknath ji se, aswimarniya anubhav raha. Aaj pata laga ki tatva me tatva prakriti kaise mila deti hai aur andhkaar me bhi bahari bhaari aavraan me dooba jeev kaise sab mehsoos ya dekh sakta hai chahe aankhen band ho. Wo bachhiyan isliye nahi mili bade bauji kyonki unhe hath paanv baandh kar zinda he agni ke supurd kar diya gaya. Wo mooh par baandhne wale fande kukarm ke sath sath is karya ke liye bhi the. Aur garbh me matlab nadi ki talhatti me 2-2 ke jod me unhe hawa-paani aur bhoomi me vileen karwa diya gaya. Pata hai ye karne wale kaun the? Aayojak. Aapke pita aur Bhupendra ji, maharaj. Aise andhvishwas se unhe wo sab prapt bhi ho jata toh uddeshya kya rehta? Aapko bhi raste se hata kar wo dono pishaach mehal ki har mahila aur bachi me apna ansh dete. 60-65 ke toh rahe honge na wo .. ? Neev ye thi hamari?", Arjun ne dhikkaar se kaha toh saamne naam dikha Pandit Motilal Anuradha Sharma.
"Maaf kijiyega, wo napunsak he honge jitna prateet hota hai. Koyi jadibooti di hogi Sreedhar ne jis se kshamta mili toh josh gareeb sewaikao par dikha diya. Vansh unka nahi ho sakta kyonki ab hume Saarang bhi galat nahi lagta aur Preetam bhi. Aur na aapke saralbudhi galat hai. Bhatkaya gaya unhe aur aksar jawaan hote yuvak naye anubhavo ke prati aakarshit ho jaate hai. Anamika daadi pyaar thi unka aur dono he saral. Kaise galat ho sakte hai aise insaan jo kisi ko dukhi nahi dekh sakte.? Haan Saarang maafi ke laayak nahi hai par galti kiski thi? Ye boodhe lakkadbaghe haweli me band ho kar tantra mantra ke sath jawan saral buddhiyon ki buddhi bhrasht karte rahe aur unhe kaise kaise sapne dikha diye honge jo wo hatayre, badhle ki bhawna wale aur pratidwandi bann gaye. Mansha toh yahi thi na ke sabhi purush aur ladke saaf ho jaaye aur phir ye shashan ke sath dushashan bhi bann jaaye. Aap safal rahe Bade Pandit ji aap safal rahe aur ab main inki akal thikane lagaunga ateet me aapse bhi peeche jaa kar. Waqt chahe jitna marji lage saal ya 10 saal. Inki maand me ghuss kar wo bhi badal dunga jo bas dhundla naam reh gaya. Sahi kiya aise insaan ka naam tak aapne mitwa diya. Chalte hai thoda vishraam karne. Fir milne jana hai. Shubhratri. Arjun Rekha Sharma. Naam wajandar hai isliye prayog nahi karte.", Arjun ne us khat ke niche waise he apna naam aur taarikh likh di thi. Wo dekh kar sab vichaar bhool baitha jab maa ka naam apne naam ke sath dekha. Wo kabhi dur hota he kaha tha apni maa se, dil aapas me itne jude the ki Rekha Ritu ki bagal me baithi bhi uska naam he samaran kar rahi thi. Kal uske bete ki pariksha thi jis par anginat log pehle sawaal utha chuke the.

Thik 12 bajne me 10 minute pehle Arjun apne kamre se dabe paanv nikla hath me kuch liye. Wo pichle aangan me kinare se hota hua badi satarkta se pahucha tha aur jaha Meena ka kamra tha thik uske darwaje ke saamne us packet se ye rang jaisa powder sahi se failane ke baad wo utni he saavdhani se bahar nikalne wale darwaje ko khol kar haweli ke peeche ja pahucha. Darwaja yaha se lagane ke sath he wo pehle he bhitar aane ka dusra prabandh bhi kar chuka tha. Sunsaan aur ekaant gali me aage badhta wo chand kadmo baad he Dilbaag bhai ke ghar ke pichle hisse aa pahucha tha. Lohe ke darwaje ke jodd kinare khadi Jasmeen ne chutki ki halki awaaj se usko apne wahi hone ka ehsaas karwaya toh paanv ki awaaj diye bina he wo agle he pal dusri taraf tha. Yaha aate he usne Jasleen ko goad me uthate hue seedha idhar wali seedhiya ka rukha kiya. Mahol itna shaant tha ki Arjun Jasleen ki hridyagati bhi sunn paa raha tha. Raatri ke antim pehar ab wo apni is sangini sang rehne wala tha us badi pariksha wale din ke shuru hone tak.
Aaj ka ye laghu update page number 3079 par post kar diya gaya hai. Ab Jasleen ke pyaar aur akhaade ke poore ghatnakram ke sath hum Shaniwar raat milenge dosto. 3 din se bas us akhaade ke he chote prasang tayaar kar raha tha lekin sath he likh kar khud ko bhi jyada der tak likhne ke liye tayaar. Agla update chahe 2 bhaag me ho ya 3, milega Shaniwar ko he, Sunday nahi. Shukriya aap sabhi ka itne sneh aur maan samman ke liye. Baaki apna Billi420 naam anusaar he chanchal aur jiwant vyakti hai jo 15 minute baad jiwan ke naye varsh ka shubharambh karne wala hai. Ghadi ke hisaab se bhai apne desh me toh paida ho chuke hai.
