Update 209
Humkadam (1)
Arjun us jordar sansarg ke baad bhabhi ki bagal me he leta unhe sehla raha tha jo kate vriksh si giri besudh he thi. Bister ka nichla hissa unke kaamras ki gawahi de raha tha jaha geelepan ke sath dher sara safed veerya jama tha. Dono paseena sukhate hue jism se saans bhar rahe the aur Dipa bhabhi apne jism ke dukhte por por me bhi alag si masti ka ehsaas leti unindi si aankhon se Arjun ko niharne lagi jo unke gudaaj phule hue kulho par hath fira raha tha.
"Kar li apne mann ki mukhiya ji? Utne sharif ho nahi jitne dikhte ho aur isko kuch dur he rakho mujhse.", Arjun ka ardh-uttejit ling bhi cycle ki tube sa mota tha lekin saaf rangat wala aakarshak ang. Dipa bhabhi ne jis tarah se uske ling ko chhone ka upkram karte hue sehlaya tha uska saaf matlab tha ki wo moosal unhe bhaa chuka hai. Arjun unhe karwat ke bal karta apni baahon me le kar halke halke chumban chehre par jaddne laga toh Dipa bhabhi ko bhi uske seene se lipat kar ye halke fulke pal araam dene lage.
"Band kamro me toh sharafat kapdo si rehti hai bhabhi. Aur isme mera dosh nahi jab aap ho he itni bejod. Ab dard toh nahi ho raha?", Unke chucho par bane halke nishaan aur laali ko sehlate hue Arjun ne jis tarah poocha tha Dipa bhabhi sharmati hui uske dil par hath rakh kar naa me sar hilane lagi.
"Dard.. jaane wo kaha kho gaya jab aankh khuli toh. Mujhse aadhi umar ke ho lekin jis tarah tumne pyaar kiya toh mujhe apni besharmi bhi bhali lagi. Tumse pehle is jism par nishaan toh mile the par unme pyaar ek pal bhi nahi tha. Aaj pata laga ki kyun Jass tumhari diwani bani jo dard ke baad us sukh aur dekhbhaal se kahi jyada khush hogi jo tum dil se karte ho. Mere vastra toh koyi badi baat nahi thi tumhare liye utaarna aur main khud bhi aisa kar deti kyonki dil aakarshit jo tha tum par lekin tum mujhe pyaar karte ho aur itna khayaal rakhoge ye jaan chuki hoti toh pehal bhi main he kar deti. Ab aise he chipkaye rakhoge ya khana khaane ka irada hai thoda?", Bhabhi toh khud he alag hone ka naam na le rahi thi aur Arjun ne apne ek jaangh utha kar unke upar rakhi toh ling me badhti akadan se unki pehle se geeli yoni jaise khud he supade se chipak gayi.
"Dil toh nahi hai mera alag hone ka jaise aapka nahi ho raha. Par bister par ek aur ghanta lagaya toh main koyi bahana bana bhi lunga par aapke na kaam honge aur na fir idhar koyi dekhbhal ke liye hai. Waise irada toh mera in pahaado ki gehraai me utarne ka tha lekin jab aapka jism araam karne ke baad uthega toh uthna mumkin nahi hoga. Pata nahi aapne kaise is kuber ke khajane ko saheja hua hai aur wo Dilbaag bhaiya akal se bhi andhe hai aur najar se bhi.", Uthne se pehle Arjun ne ek baar unke kulho ki daraar me ungliyan fasaayi aur mooh se ek nipple ko daba kar choos liya. Bhabhi toh sitkaar karti hui apni yoni uske ling par daba gayi thi.
"Aahhh.. pakke jaalim ho tum jo alag hote hue bhi aag bhadka rahe ho. Aur ek pahaad suja diye hai toh dusre se dur he raho. Ye aage lene me he buri haalat ho gayi toh peeche ka sochna he paap hai. Aahhh.. sachmuch inke sath sath meri kamar aur choot tak dukha di tumne.", Bhabhi khade hote hue apne paanv faila rahi thi aur unki yoni upar tikona baalo ka halka jungle sehlate hue Arjun ne bhi pajama chadha liya.
"Inhe saaf kar lena bhabhi nahi toh ragdaai se tootenge toh jyada dard hoga. Waise ab lagta hai ke us bechare Rangi ki bhi kya he galti thi jab aapka badan aur ye khoobsurat chehra kisi ka bhi chain khatam kar de? Bra na bhi pehno tab bhi inme jara si bhi latkan nahi. Agli baar pehle inhi ka shikaar karunga. Umaaahhh.", Unhe khade khade he seene se laga kar Arjun ne ek gehra chumban karne ke bahane kulhe aur stanno ka fir se sparsh liya. Bhabhi palat kar gown pehanti hui sharam aur muskurahat ke mishrit bhaav liye the. Unhe apne jism ka ehsaas jarur hoga lekin aaj garv tha ki Arjun itna prabhavit hua.
"Agli baar ke baare me bhi soch rahe ho? Aur jism mehnat he karta rahe jisko sambhalne wala mard bhi na ho toh wo aisa he toh rahega. Rangi isko ujaadna chahta tha aur tumne pyaar diya hai."
"Kal savere sath me nahane ka kya khayaal hai bhabhi? Nahi toh nashte se pehle aapka he bhoga laga lunga.", tshirt pehan kar apne baal aur chehra durust karta wo bhabhi ko bhi lagatar dekh raha tha jinhone ab apne baal samet liye the. Chehre par Arjun ka pyaar halke nishaan de chuka tha aur hontho par halki soojan. Arjun ki nashte wali baat par wo uske kandhe par mukka maarti hui rasoighar ki taraf badh chali. Aaj jaise sachmuch wo ladki se aurat bani thi aur ye saaf jhalak bhi raha tha jab dono ek dusre ko apne hatho se khilate hue vaasna ya kaam se itar bas apne ghar pariwar ki baaton me lage rahe. Arjun rukna chahta tha lekin ghar pe uska hona bhi jaruri tha apne dada daadi ki gair-haajri me aur aaj ki dopehar bas so kar he gujarni thi.
.
.
"Taai agar kuch waqt ho toh kya baat kar sakta hu akele me?", Shankar bhi dopehar ke khaane par Chandro Devi ki haweli aaya tha hospital me aadha din gujaar kar. Hamehsa ki tarah Richa apne pita ke aage peeche he rahi aur wo bhi usko laad ladane me koyi kasar na rakhte hue apne sath lagaye pehle charpaayi par baith bhojan karte rahe aur fir thodi der me milne ka bol ab Chandro devi ke kamre me chale aaye. Garmi ki wajah se idhar bhi thanda cooler chaalu tha aur Chandro Devi apne sadharan bister par tek lagaye Shankar ko bhi apne kareeb baithne ka bol kar wo kitaab ek taraf rakhti hui thoda khush hui. Madhulata pichle aangan me kaam karwa rahi thi ya uski ye narajgi thi Shankar se jo bas pehle apni beti aur fir khaane ke baad uski saas ke kamre me ja chuka tha. Bijender aaj khet he tha jaha Anupama bhi gayi thi uske sath Sushila ke kehne par.
"Tu poochne kabse laga re aur aaj toh tere darshan ki bhi ummeed nahi thi fir ye meharbani jarur kaam se hogi?", Kareeb ki najar ka chasma kapde se saaf karke dabbi me band karti hui Chandro Devi ne ek takiya Shankar ki taraf badha diya jo ab bister par he karwat liye unke samne kohni ke bhar let chuka tha. Is ghar me Shankar ko asli bete ka darja dene wali bhi yahi mahila thi aur Shankar ne bhi kabhi dikhawa na kiya tha jo uske rehne se saaf pata chalta tha.
"Kaam toh hospital me bhi nahi tha taai aaj. Saare doctor maujood the aur mera jitna kaam tha main karke aa gaya. Wo Inder se baat ho rahi thi toh usne kuch bataya lekin mere palle na pada. Aap toh XXXX gaanv se ho na aur Tau ji se aapka rishta khud bade dada leke gaye the udhar?", Ab Chandro devi thoda khul kar muskuraai.
"Gaam chhod tehsil tak charche the mere aur 13 ki umar baad toh kisi byaah shaadi me bhi jana padta toh mooh dhakwa ke le jaate the mere pita ji. Theth jamidaari wale Gujjaro ke kunbe ki pehli chhori thi aur sabka laad pyaar itna tha ke aan-jaan se rokte bhi na tha isliye do-naali bachpan me sikha di thi. Pita ji ek panchayat me the aur waha kisi ne garmi dikhani chaahi 4-5 aadmiyon ke boote toh manne bhi uske maathe par bandook tika di thi. Maamla sarpanchi ka aur ek chhori bandook liye khadi ho mardo budho ke beech toh sadme jaisa ho gaya tha sabke liye. Wahi sasur ji aaye hoye the lekin rishta rakhne ki un me bhi himmat na thi. Raghuvir ke pita ji se baatchit hui thi unki toh wo aaye the hamare ghar. Unka naam he bahot tha aur fer tere tau bhi chaukhe dikhte the. Kar diya byaah lekin shart yahi ke main bandhan me na rehne wali aur galat baat pe chota bada bhi na dekhti. Sasur ji ne toh sab swikaar tha.", Ab jaise Shankar ko sarpanch wala kissa yaad aa gaya tha ke kaise taai ne apni Billo se uska bheja he faad diya tha ek pal me.
"Wo toh jaanta hu taai kaunsa aaj se dekh raha hu par jalwa sarpanch wala yaad aa gaya aapki bandook se. Waise baat kuch aur thi jo main poochna chahata tha."
"Cirgat (Cigrettee) baal le teri agar dil kare hai toh. Main ghaam (dopehar) me hukka na peeti lekin tu roti ke baad foonkta hai. Pooch le jo pata hoga wo bata dungi.", Shankar ne fir bhi uthne ka koyi upkram na kiya.
"Ye Devaki chachi aur aapka aapsi rishta hai kya ye ek pariwar wala rishta hai ya gaanv wala?", Is sapaat se sawaal ne ek pal ke liye toh Chandro Devi ko hairaan kar diya lekin jaise unhe bhi pata tha ke kabhi na kabhi toh ye mudda aayega he.
"Teri maa se na puchya tune?"
"Wo toh gaanv gayi hui hai udhar se kal aayengi lekin aap unhe jaanti he ho taai. Wo pooch lengi par jawaab aajtak diya unhone kisi baat ka. Sawaal toh mere bahot hai unse lekin jaane do fir wo mujhe he shisha dikha dengi.", Ab Chandro devi haami bharti hui hans rahi thi.
"Kaushalya hai toh Rameshwar aur in kunbo ka wajood hai Shankar nahi toh fer tu toh khud is haweli ko khandhar bana chuka hota. Uske sawaal se toh main khud bachti hu aur ek wahi hai jiska seena meri bandook tak ki parwaah na karta. Devaki.. Mere sage chacha Dhanpat ki dusri biwi se hui thi lekin tab tak pita ji ne wo nyare kar diye the. Dada ne toh pehle he mere chacha ke naam paanchva hissa kiya tha uske lakkhan jo maade the. Pehli lugaai bahot badhiya tha mere chacha ki par aadmi nalayak ho toh fer aurat bhi bagawat kar he de hai Shankar. Fer ek tawayaf takar gayi kisi badnaam adde pe aur us se byaah kar liya chacha ne toh biradari se bahar karna he tha. Pita ji utne sakht bhi na the aur chacha ki jameen ke barabar mol deke bhej diya idhar se. Fer 4 mahine baad Devaki paida ho gayi dusri lugaai se jiska bera aapasdari me he chala. Ayaash juaari ke paas paisa kitni der chalna tha aur wahi haal hua chacha ka. Pita ji ne madad karni chahi toh biradari saamne aa gayi dada ke sath sath. 15 baras fer koyi jikar na hua ghar me aur main byaah ke idhar aa gayi. Tera baap aur Raghuvir saal me 2 baar aate the idhar aur jab Rameshwar ka byaah hoya tabhi pata chala ke tere chote chacha ke sath Devaki baandh di. Krishan se usne mere baare me pata chal gaya kyunki peehar toh mera bhi 100 kos dur tak pehchaan rakhe tha. Par manne bolchaal na badhaai uske sath jabki wo us time 3-4 baar aayi bhi. Kaushalya ko sab batana jaruri tha aur fer usne bhi nakel baandh di Devaki ke. Pher toh bas wo Sundi aur Munni ke byaah me he idhar aayi thi jisko 25 baras toh ho liye. Ye baat koyi aur poochta toh main jawaab na deti lekin tu galat baat na karta Shankar.", Chandro Devi ne jitna sab bataya tha us se ab Narinder wali baat ki toh pushti ho gayi thi par Laajwanti wala kissa kaise shuru kare ye usko samajh na aaya.
"Ye Sarpanch wali lugaai fer dikhaai na di taai?"
"Oh.. Teri dharam saas bhi toh gaayab hai uske sath. Bataai ne tere papa ji ne?"
"Unka aapas me kya rishta tha jo dono gayab ho gayi? Aur Lata ki bhi parwaah na ki unhone?"
"Dekh Shankar saaf baat sunn. Munni pasand thi Sundi ne aur byaah hoya tha Eshwar ka charitra dekh ke. Laajo apni chhori ki sasural na aati thi aur na main unke kabhi gayi. Meri bahu hai aur haweli ke bhitar mere hath ke niche rahegi. Uski maa ne ke gul khilaye aur wo Reshma kyun faraar hai toh iska jawaab 2 log he de sake hai. Ek toh Rameshwar aur dusra Laajo khud.", Ab Shankar samajh gaya tha ya usko samjha diya gaya ki isme Madhulata shamil nahi hai aur aisa kyun kiya ye wo poochne wala bhi nahi tha lekin khushi thi ki uski Madhulata waisi bilkul nahi thi.
"Taai Inder keh raha tha ke Laajo kaaki aur Devaki chachi me koyi samband hai. Aapke hisaab se toh chachi idhar aayi nahi aur kaaki gaanv me he rehti thi. Lekin dono ka ateet toh jaise kahi ek dusre ke aaspas raha hai. Inder koyi bhi baat bematlab nahi karta aur mere sath toh kabhi bhi nahi."
"Toh maine kab keha bhai? Devaki mere ghar naa aati thi aur Laajo ke sath uska ke tha wo tu Devaki se he pooch le. Mera budhapa chain se katan de Shankar aur tu bhi thoda ghar pariwar ka maja le. Tufaan har baar na rukta aur ab kaushalya ki bhi araam karan ki umar hai jiska khayaal na tujhe aur na Inder ko. Arjun he laathi banega kya apni dadi ki bhi aur maa ki bhi? Zindagi seedhi chalti na hajam hoti toh Umed se he seekh le kuch. Chal ja teri tingari (beti) darwaje pe 2 baar chakkar maar gayi ke uske papa bera na budhiya se kyun lage baithe hai. Agli 20 ko Richa ne training pe chale jana agar dhyaan ho toh aur ab uska dil na lagta haweli pe jabse teri taraf se aayi hai. Haal toh Sushila ke bhi badle badle se hai par uske saamne mera bhi mooh na khulta. Baat karke dekh jara wo apne he kamre me rehti hai aajkal.", Shankar ne khade hote hue haan bhari jaise wo taai ki saari baat samajh gaya ho. Tufaan wali baat apni jagah bilkul uchit thi ki ab agar kahi ghamsaan ho gaya toh fir sandhi ke liye log bhi bachenge ya nahi. Taai ke kamre se bahar aate he Richa saamne he khadi thi.
"Aap daadi se mile aaye the?", Kamar par dono hath rakh kar wo narajgi dikha rahi thi jiske badle hanste hue Shankar ji ne sar par hath ferte hue naa me sar hilaya.
"Tere liye he aaya tha aur kapde rakh le 2 jodi bag me nahi toh shehar se dilwa dunga. Babita ki taraf bhi jana hai toh chal mere sath, Somwar shaam ko wapis le aaunga tujhe.", Babita ke naam par he Richa khush ho uthi thi jo turant bhitar apne kamre me daud gayi. Shankar ne pichle aangan ka rukh kiya jaha se Sushila ke kamre ka rasta tha. Madhulata aur Malti bheegi kanak ko dhoop me bicha rahi thi sookhane ke liye. Chakki par piswane se pehle aisa he kiya jata tha. Najro me shikayat dekh Shankar ne bas halke se sar hila diya Madhulata ki taraf jo wapis apne kaam me jutt gayi.
"Ke haal hai bebe? Sharir pareshaan kare hai ya tu buddhi ho gayi?", Darwaja khat-khatane ke sath he Shankar ne bhitar kadam rakhe toh sar ke niche takiya tikaye leti Sushila usko dekh kar muskurati hui seedhi baith gayi. Baal thik karne ke baad thoda kameej durust kiya aur Shankar ko saamne sofe par baithne ka ishara deti wo jug se saaf gilaas me paani bharne lagi. Sushila ke chehre se he pata chalta tha ke wo udaas hai ya murjhaayi hui par muskaan se dhokha dena jaise usko bhi atche se aata tha.
"Manne toh 30 ki umar ke 2 byaah diye doctor lekin teri haalat mere se jyada kardi hovegi jadd tu byavega apne baalak. Baat aave hai tanne kyunki kora haande hai na. Aaj badi kirpa kari bebe ke dhore aan ki?", Sushila ke hariyanvi tanz bhi majaak se bhare rehte the aur Shankar paani peete hue bas sunn raha tha. Chehre par ek alag si hansi aa gayi thi gilaas ek taraf rakhte hue.
"Waai toh kahu hu ke tu buddhi toh hove koni fer khaat kis tariya pakad li? Chhora (Bijender) nyara toh koni karan laag reha bindani aate he? Waise tera kaalja toh Babita bina sookhe hai."
"Aaho. Ek thaap me chhora tale milega je ehsi soch bhi raakhi toh. Haan Babita ki albaad toh yaad aavengi he. Phone toh kari je hai din me 3 baar lekin sasuraal hai uski fer bhi tikan na laag ri. Aur Arjun maharaaj ke gyaan suna de Shankar. Chhora byaah ke paache dekhya he koni aur tu 2 baar aa gaye haweli.", Sushila ne 2 baar aane wali baat khaas tarah se kahi thi jis par Shankar khisiyata sa laga jaise chori pakdi gayi ho.
"Aaj toh taai dhore aaya tha kaam se. Tu phone kar liya kar Arjun ne, mere daadke hai wo 20 June tak. Wapis aavega toh tere aur Babita se mile bina toh ruke koni lekin tu byaah te agle din dikhi koni?", Sushila kya batati ki wo toh badi mushkil se Madhuri ke peeche tak aayi thi aur fir armaan jaagte us se pehle wo waha se nikal chali. Arjun ka jikar khud he kiya tha abhi aur fir se duvidha chehre par dikhne lagi.
"Arjun se dil lag gaya na Sushila? Tera bhi wo dil se he karta hai jitna maine dekha. Aur Babita Bijender ke roop me bade bhai behan jo uske sath khul kar hanste bolte hai. Ab toh Richa ne bhi jhijhakna chhod diya uske sath. Yaad hai aise he tu, main, Raju aur Sanjay hote the bachpan me. Sanjay jyada teji me tha jo aaj gayab he ho gaya aur tera kasoorwaar main khud hu.", Baat Arjun ke kisse se ateet me jaane lagi toh Sushila ne thoda halke hath se Shankar ke sar par chapat jadd di.
"Mera koyi kasoorwar na hai Shankar aur apni galti maan ne ki jagah ulta main he sabse naraaj ho gayi. 2 mahine me Arjun ne 25 saal bhar diye toh dil kyun na mile uske sath? Sach kahu toh eb utna toh tere sath ka time bhi yaad na jitna iske sath bitaya pasand hai. Bijender ne aajtak kisi ke sath thaali sanjhi na kari aur Arjun ke khaatir wo chhora bhi badal gaya jo har time bas apni akad me rahe karta. Haan Babita 18 ki hoti toh main eent baja deti nana ke sath uska rishta Arjun se karwa ke he rehti. Hahaha.. Golu aaj kehve tha ke Babita Arjun ke sath ek photo me thi aur nyu lage tha ke ya toh bhai behan hai ya ... Rekha se pooch ke bataiye ke khuraak li thi iske tame, fer Babita ki waa he shuru hovegi.", Rekha ka jikar is ghar me thoda ajeeb lagta tha lekin ab wo hota rehta tha kabhi Richa ke mooh se toh kabhi Anupama-Bijender ya khud Chandro Devi ke.
"Maa se pooch liyo saari khuraak. Aur kapde badal le fer Babita se milwa lyau tanne. Teri maa ki tabiyat thodi dhili hai umar aur akelepan ki wajah se. Glucose laga ke thodi fees le aaunga. Richa bhi chal rahi sath aur somwar main he le aaunga wapis dono ko.", Shankar ko Sitara Devi tak ki fikar thi aur ye sunn kar Sushila ke chehre par ek dilkash si muskaan aa gayi jisme behan wala sneh tha.
"Madam Chandro Devi sove hai ke? Eb peehar jana hai toh batana padega?"
"Taai ki baat ho chuki aur unhe ye bhi pata ke tujhe main leke ja raha. Chal tu kapde badal le main bahar aangan me he hu.", Shankar khada hua toh Sushila chhedne se baaj naa aayi.
"Sargat phoonkni hai ya nain-mattakka apni ummm Lata ji se?", Shankar sar pe hath rakhta tej kadmo se bahar chal diya jaha Madhulata uski kaali chai liye tayaar thi aur Richa abhi bhi sanwarne me juti thi, kapde bag me rakhne ke baad. Sushila ne darwaja band karne ke baad wo dhila salwaar kameej utaar kar almaari ka rukh kiya toh diwaar par tange shishe me apne badhti umar ke bawjood itne unnat aur bade vaksho par najar chal he gayi. Har maamle me wo Babita se 2 inch kam he thi lekin aaj bhi peit par charbi ka nishaan na tha. Sharir lamba chauda aur mehnat ki wajah se 51 ki umar bhi aaj tak barkaraa. Aaina niharte he sar jhatakti hui wo apne seene ko us asadharan si safed bra se dhakne lagi.
'Kaun samjhaye doctor ko uske poot ke kaand. Beti ke chakkar me maa pe chaddh gaya aur aisa chadha naaspita ki ab haweli se bahar nikli toh khud galti karungi jo us se anjaane he andhere me ho gayi.', Babita ne jyada samay na ganwaya kyonki ye bukhaar us par din me kayi baar chadhne laga tha us andheri mulakaat ke baad se. Wo jald he kamre se tayaar ho kar bahar nikal aayi thi Babita ke pas pahuchne ke liye aur Shankar cigrattee ke sath kaali chai khatam karke in dono ke liye nikal chala is haweli se. Madhulata ka din nahi tha lekin wo naraaj jarur thi. Aakhir Shankar aaj yaha aaya bhi toh apne bhai ke kehne par tha jo khud Uttar Pradesh ke us anjaan shehar pahuchne he wala tha dhalte hue din ke sath.

"Nana ji aur mausi laut aaye hai. Uth jao ab kitna sona hai?", Aanchal ne jhinjhod kar Arjun ko uthate hue Krishneshwar ji ke aane ki jaankari di. Wo dopehar 3 baje Dipa bhabhi ke ghar se lauta tha aur ab 6 bajne wale the. Ghar aate he wo halke kapdo me vatanukulan chala kar jo soya tha uski aankh ab khul rahi thi. Kuch pal toh wo bas Aanchal ke chehre ko dekhta raha jaise samajhne ki koshish kar raha ho ki hua kya hai. Arjun ko aise khoya hua dekh Aanchal ne halke se uske hontho par ek pappi karke rahi sahi neend bhi udaa di.
"Oh paagal ho kya?", Kamre me koyi nahi tha aur darwaja bhi dhalka hua. Ye dekh kar kuch sukoon mila lekin ab Aanchal uski goad me baithi thi.
"Hero bahot thake thake se aaye the ghar aur parso khud jab mujhe sata rahe the tab maine toh nahi kaha ke tum paagal ho. Machchar jyada kaate hai kya jo itna kharoch rakha khudko?", Arjun ke seene par ye nishaan Dipa bhabhi ki den thi chahe wo halke he sahi lekin najar aane laayak the.
"Mera wo matlab nahi tha aur ye bau ji bhi laut aaye kya chote dada ke sath sath?", Arjun ne ab premvash he baahon ka ghera Aanchal ki kamar me daal liya tha jo pehle toh khush hui fir uchak kar khadi ho gayi.
"Kapde pehan lo kahi khaamkhwah meri jaisi haalat kisi aur ki ho jaaye. Nana ji he aaye hai mama aur mausi ke sath. Aayi toh Anjali bhi hai lekin wo toh jaane itni khamosh kyun rehne lagi. Bade nana ji bata kar gaye the ki tum sambhaal loge baat ko isliye aayi thi main.", Ab Arjun ko Devaki ka dhyaan aaya jo turant uth khada hua aur uske sath he nikkar me uska vishaal ajgar sar uthaye. Aanchal badi hairat se dekh rahi thi us ubhaar ko aur fir turant palat kar bahar daud gayi.
'Ye ladki marwayegi mujhe..Oh teri. Bhai tu marwayega mujhe us se pehle. Jab dekho mere pehle tu khada ho jata hai.", Istree kiya hua kurta pyjama pehan kar bhitar wale bathroom se he chehra durust karke wo bahar nikla toh pehle Roshni bua se mila jo khud badi khamosh tabiyat ki mahila tha, shuru se he aisi. Krishneshwar ji sewak se kache aangan me chhidkaav karwa rahe the aur Arjun ko dekh kar wo udhar he chale aaye jaha takhat aur chaarpayi bichi thi. Laali ki maa pehle waha lakdi ka mej rakh gayi aur unke peeche he Laali ke sath Anamika chachi sabke liye chai-paani aur Arjun ka doodh leti aayi. Doodh Anjali aur Aanchal ke liye bhi tha jo chocolate mila bhoore rang ka baraf se thanda kiya. Vinod bathroom se chehra dho kar Arjun ke he barabar aa baitha.
"Aaj tumhare kaan bhi tumhare sath so rahe the bhatije. Lagta hai neend poori nahi ho rahi.", Vinod ke charcha shuru karne se Krishneshwar ji ne bas cup utha liya apni baat rok kar. Munna naha chuka tha jo Roshni bua ki goad me khel raha tha.
"Kal ki thakaan thi chacha ji jo raat me sahi se nahi gayi isliye din me so gaya. Dhoop me karna bhi kya tha aur ghar pe log bhi nahi the. Anjali didi ka NOC wala kaam ho gaya? Aur ghar ka kya karna hai?"
"Ghar toh tau ji ke kahe mutabik kiraye par he dene lage hai. Unhone kaha tha ke ye saamne ke dono kamre Roshni didi aur Anjali bitiya ke honge aur samaan jitna jarurat hogi utna gaadi se mangwa lenge. Waise bhi ghar me teri chachi ab akeli hogi toh uske sath koyi hona jaruri hai.", Vinod ne chai ka cup uthane se pehle ek cup apni badi behan ko diya jo atchi baat thi.
"Fir mood bana liya aapne Nepal me hotel dekh kar aane ka? Umed chacha keh rahe the ki Delhi ki taraf jo hotel banane wale hai wo aap akele dekhne wale ho.", Arjun ne sabko aascharya me daal diya tha ye bata kar jabki Vinod muskura raha tha.
"Filhaal toh kal Nepal niklunga bhatije aur uske baad Kumar sahab ke sath Umed bhai ki meeting hone par he koyi fainsla lenge lekin itna nischint hai ki hotel toh 5 sitara wahi banega. Aur akela nahi hu main usme. Inder bhaiya aur Raju bhaiya bhi rahenge jinke sath purane log bhi. Hafte me 2 din yaha raha karunga aur 5 din udhar.", Vinod ki baat abhi khatam hui thi ki Sanjida Devaki ke kamre se nikal kar idhar aati hui kuch thithak si gayi itne logo ko baitha dekh
"Aa jaiye Sister aapko inke sath he rehna hai. Chacha ji Sanjida ji ko bau ji ne he ..", Vinod ne uth kar namstey karne ke baad khud he ek kursi unki taraf badha di.
"Haan wo mujhe bhi bata chuke hai aur ye atcha kiya unhone. Baithiye Sanjida ji aur aapki jo bhi jarurat ho wo saaf bata dena aisa high command ka order hai. Papa, college me ye nurse vibhaag dekhne wali hai aur tau ji ne inhe apne he idhar pakka kiya hai. Waise ab tabiyat kaisi hai maa ki Sanjida ji?", Vinod ne ye baat aise saral lehje me kahi thi jaise usko kuch pata he na ho. Arjun najre jhukaye muskura raha tha jisko kuch aur najre bhi dekh rahi thi. Sanjida toh khud thoda asehaj ho gayi thi lekin Arjun ne aakhen jhapka ka aashwast kiya toh unhone jaankari di.
"Dopehar me unhe daliya aur doodh diya tha maine. Thodi si ashaant jarur hai lekin aisa hona laajmi bhi hai jab aapki aankhon ki roshni chali jaaye aur awaaj bhi. Meri Pandit ji se baat hui thi aur unhone he kaha tha ke wo inhe shift karwa rahe hai kal jab yaha se jaayenge. Samay aur sahi dekhbhal se he sudhaar ho sakta agar kuch bhi mumkin hai nahi toh ye aisi he rahengi ya haalat bigad sakti hai.", Ab baari thi baaki sabhi ke hosh udne ki aur Roshni ke toh haath se he pyaali niche ja giri jisko Aanchal ne he apne sath lagate hue dhandas bandhaya. Krishneshwar ji ke chehre par aaya peelapan bhi kisi se na chhip saka.
"Jab hum log gaye tab Devaki poori tarah thik thi doctor. Aise kaise drishti aur bolne ki kshamta jaa sakti hai? Aur bhaiya ne kya kaha ki wo meri dharampatni ko le jaayenge? Aise kaise ye munasib hai.?", Ab unhe nurse aur doctor ka bhi farak na pata tha. Lekin ghar ke dwaar khulne par unke bade bhai sahab jarur laut aaye the safari liye. Ab sawaal bhi bahot the aur unke jawaab dene wala bhi laut aaya tha jisko dekh Krishneshwar ji baraf se thande ho gaye. Purnima ji toh pashuon ki taraf he chali gayi gaaye ko gudd dene aur apne taai tau ji ke liye Vinod ne Arjun se pehle diwar se lagi charpyaai daal di. Sanjida ne bhi mauka dekh kar batana shuru kar diya
"Head injury matlab sar par chot lagne ka prabhaav aksar mauke par pata nahi chalta uncle. Aapne kal unhe chalte firte dekha tha?", Ab Krishneshwar haan toh nahi keh sakte the kyonki Devaki toh bister par he thi poora samay.
"Kya charcha ho rahi hai bhai? Krishan, tum kab laute waha se?", Rameshwar ji ke bolte he Arjun apne doodh ko khatam karne me jutt gaya.
"Ye doctor keh rahi hai bhaiya ki ab Devaki na dekh sakti hai aur na bol. Aur agar aisa hai toh Shankar bada doctor hai wo apni chachi ko thik na karega?"
"Dekh bhai Krishan main toh chikitsa me hu shunya aur Shankar ke kehne par he main Devaki ko sath le ja raha hu jis se usko uchit dekhbhal mil sake doctor ki nigraani me. Yaha wo aaj dopehar tak me bister se 3 baar gir chuki hai toh khud soch ki kya 24 ghante dekhbhal munasib hai?", Ab khamosh baithi Kaushalya ji ne he unse pehle apne vichar prakat kar diye.
"Tum bhi chalo fir sath agar Devaki ke bina ji nahi lagta toh. Yaha bahu bacha, ghar aur ye pashu sambhale ya utna karne ke sath Devaki ko bhi? Aur Sanjida nurse hai doctor nahi. Ghar ko hospital banwana hai toh baaki sabko bahar rehna padega fir. Bade doctor toh din ka 20 hajaar bhi lenge idhar maujood rehne ka aur unke nakhre bhi bahu aur Roshni sahengi toh fir kar liya kaam. Devar ji tum baat toh seedhi karti ho lekin kaha par alp-viraam aur kaha purn-viraam lagna hai tumhe nahi pata.", Krishneshwar ko is baat ka kuch adhik he bura laga tha aur Arjun ne Aanchal ko ishare se idhar se kamre me chalne ka kaha, baaki sabko sath le kar. Aanchal ke sath Anjali, Sanjida aur Anamika chachi bhi unke kamre me chal diye jiska darwaja Arjun ne dhaal liya. Ab aangan me ghar ke bade he the kyonki Vinod ne sewak aur Laali ki maa ko bhi unki jagah bhej diya tha.
"Bhabhi ardhangini hai meri wo aur pita ji ne he unhe haweli ki jimmewari saunpi thi. Haan wo aap jaisi paripakva nahi hai aur jubaan ki kadwi bhi hai thodi lekin baat agar paiso ke he hai toh uska intjaam bhi ho jaayega. Vinod kar dega sab prabandh lekin yaha gaanv me pagdi sabki uchlegi jab ye pata lagega ki haweli ki karta dharta ko he dekhbhal ke liye bahar bhijwa diya gaya. Maine na toh aajtak bhaiya se hisaab kiya hai aur na main ab jholi failaunga.", Krishneshwar samaaj ki wajah se ye sab bol raha tha aur Rameshwar ji ke na chahte hue bhi ye badi baat ho he gayi jab devar aur bhabhi ka kadwa takraav ho gaya.
"Kaun pramukh hai haweli ka? Tumne kitna hisaab aur kaha kaha ka diya hai pichle 40 baras me ye mujhse bhi nah chhipa. Rahi baat gaanv ke log kya samjhenge aur Vinod ke paise ki toh main na dene deti isko ek paayi bhi aur tum hoge inke laadle lekin 65 baras ke hone par bhi tum na baap ban sake na pariwar ke sanrakshak. Tumhare kaale sach wo dabaye baithi hai aur tum usko sirf is darr se he bacha rahe ho. Suno Krishan abse na basi wali jameen se tumhe wo bhada milega aur na 30 kille parle gaanv ki jameen ki aamdan. Jo naitik taur par inka aur tumhara hissa tha usme se 2/3 jameen tum bech chuke ho jiska aadha bhi Vinod aur iski behno ko na mila jinhe tumne wo jameen bechne ka kaaran bataya tha. Bahot lagaav hai na tumhe ek khaas naam se toh agar waisa kuch dohraya toh apni biwi ki bagal me miloge, is baat ko dimaag me baitha lena. Khet sambhalne ka dil kare toh atchi baat hai nahi toh araam se raho yaha. Sawaal nahi karne wali main tumse agar koyi galti na dohrao toh. Chal Roshni bitiya tu bhi kapde badal le aur thoda araam kar. Maaf karna tere saamne wo sab kehna pada.", Kaushalya ji apni bhatiji ko sath liye apne kamre me chali gayi jaha Purnima ji pehle se thi. Krishneshwar ke toh chehre par 12 baj chuke the shaam ke saadhe 6 baje he aur Vinod bhi angdaai leta hua khada ho kar bahar ki taraf chal diya, Arjun ki rani liye.
"Tumhe lagta hai aaj tumne sahi sawaal uthaya Krishan? Devaki par kanooni karyavahi hoti toh 2-3 janam lene padte saja poori karne ke liye aur tumhari bhabhi jaane kaunsa tumhara aisa sach jaanti hai ki aaj usne hamari bhi parwaah nahi ki. Wo 30 kille tumhe isliye mile the ki Vinod aur dono betiyan apna hissa kharch bhi kar de toh tumhare khaate me hamesha uchit paisa rahe lekin tumhare khaate me se vyaktigat taur par pichle 3 baras me 70 lakh rupaya nikla hai. Poori aamdan me bhi Devaki ko alag se 5 pratishit milta tha jiske khaate me aaj ki taarikh par ek naya paisa nahi hai. Ab apni gardan main khud kaat lu ya ye nek kaam bhi tum karoge?", Jab dono bhai he yaha bache the toh Rameshwar ji ne thandi aah bharte hue ye ek aur kala sach Krishneshwar ke saamne rakh diya. Krishneshwar ke toh hath judd chuke the aur chehra 115 ke konn par jhuka hua.
"Hum gade murde nahi ukhaad rahe Krishan kyonki waisa karne par hamari he peeda badhegi lekin vartmaan ka sach bhi dekha jaaye toh tum abhaar manaao apni bhabhi ka jisne tumhe baksh diya. Wo hamare hridya aur tumhare sath hamare sneh ki kadar karti hai Krishan lekin ye dohra jiwan jo tum jee rahe ho isko tatkaal band kar do. Hamare pita ji ka naam tumhe unki is bhoomi par reh kar badhana tha jabki wo jimmewari chaupaal aur Sarpanch ke sath poora gaanv utha raha hai, hamare tumhare bina. Ab usko badha nahi sakte toh kam se kam barkaraar rakhna he bahot hoga. Thoda sochna aur tumhe lage ki palat kar jawaab dene se tum sahi saabit ho sakte ho toh fir tumhari marji. Mil lo Devaki se, main jara Lala ki taraf ja raha hu. Wo log kal ki tayaariyan dekh rahe hai jinka tumhe bhi pata nahi hoga.", Jaate jaate aaj Rameshwar ji bhi ye tippanni kar gaye the aur vyathit mann ke sath ab Krishneshwar ko ghabrahat bhi ho rahi thi. Paanv Devaki ki taraf badhna chahte the lekin us se pehle apni bhabhi ke kamre ka ilm tha unhe jinke sath aaj aavesh vash wo kuch jyada he galat tarike se pesh aaye jabki wo chahti toh sachmuch Krishneshwar hathkadi-bandh hota.
"Paani pee lijiye chote dada ji aur wo aapki bhabhi hai koyi gair nahi. Dada ji bhi galti hone par maafi maang lete hai aur aap toh sahi salamat hai jabki main aapki jagah hota toh daadi maafi toh dur mujhe ghar ke aaspas na rukne deti.", Arjun ne thande paani ka gilaas unhe dete hue khelghar ka rukh kiya jaha aaj wo thodi kasrat karne ki soch raha tha. Plastic ke lifafe me apne abhyaas ke kapde liye wo aaj alag he josh se bhara tha. Shaayad apni daadi ki wajha se ya din wali kasrat.

Idhar ek alag he pradesh ke khaas hisse me Narinder kuch jyada he lamba safar karke pahucha tha. Is maamle me wo apne bhai se bhi kuch behtar tha jisko jaise thakaan ka asar nahi tha chahe din se raat ho jaaye ya fir agla din. Purvanchal ke is hisse me ek thik-thaak sa hotel dekh kar gaadi khadi karta wo bhitar aaya toh hotel ke reception par baitha yuvak bhi ungh raha tha jaise ye dhanda idhar kuch khaas na ho. Narinder dwara uska mej thakthakane par wo uninda sa he bol utha.
"3 ghante ka 300 aur raat ka 1000. Ladki ne lafda kiya toh wo maamla tum dekhoge."
"Oh mere bhole balam. Pyaare hum yaha akele aaye hai aur 2 din rukne ke sath atcha bhojan bhi chahte hai. Aur filhaal toh kamre me jaate he nahane ka irada hai.", Ab wo yuwak uth khada hua is aakarshak vakti ko kohni tak aasten chadhaye aur chehre par muskurahat liye dekh. Narinder vyaktitva ke maamle me apne samkaksh sabhi bhaiyon se kahi jyada prabhavit karta tha jisme sabhi ki apni visheshta thi lekin umar ka prabhaav sabse kam is vyakti par he tha. Hamesha chehra saaf rakhna aur baal ek saar se thik Vinod Khanna ki tarah.
"Sir, hamari hotel me sirf 2 he kamre hai jinke sath bathroom ki vayvastha hai. Ek toh maalik ka hai aur dusra 800 rupaye ek raat. Wo toh idhar sailaani aate hai jinko apna maja karna hota hai toh koyi bhi kamra de dete hai lekin har manzil par 4 bathroom aur 4 toilet bane hai. Haan khaane ka aisa hai ki hotel me toh sirf daaru ka samaan milta hai lekin saamne dhaba 24 ghante chalta hai jiska aahuna mutton aur khamiri roti Champaran se bhi badhiya milegi. Aap jab kahenge main khud he hajir ho jaunga aapka order le kar.", Yuwak dekhne se Garhwal ki taraf ka tha lekin padha likha aur jiwan ke prati sakratmak. Narinder ne 500 ke 4 note nikaal kar uske saamne rakh diye.
"1600 2 din ka bhada dost aur 400 tumhari advance tip. Bahar kaali contessa khadi hai usko dekh lo kaha lagana hai. Kamra dikha do baaki daru meat ka bata kar tumne mujhe khush kar diya.", Ab itni badi tip ki aasha toh us yuwak ko sapne me bhi nahi thi lekin Narinder ke andaaj se wo sammohit hota hua khud he bag utha kar aage chal diya hath me chaabi liye.
"Thank you sir. Yaha toh customer 200 rupaye ka bhada dene ke liye mach mach karta jab 2 ghante ka batata hu toh. Aap pehle aadmi hai jinhone mujhe tip diya isliye ek tip meri bhi le lijiye. Ye poora kasba Afeem Khan ka hai matlab uska naam toh Taufik Khan hai par dhanda afeem ka hai jis wajah se naam yahi padd gaya. Aapki gaadi usko pasand aayi toh wo kal uske ghar khadi hogi. Yaha kul jama 1600 dukane, dhaabe aur fadi lagti hai jo niyam se apna hafta Afeem Khan tak pahuchate hai. Aur sirf yahi kasba nahi aise 10 kasbe aur 2 shehar uske niche hai. Pate ki baat bata raha hu ki dukaan wale se jubaan ladao, rehdi wale ya aam naagrik se lekin Afeem Khan ke kisi aadmi se takrana nahi, galti se bhi. Aur wo har-taraf mil sakte hai. Waise uska dhanda vilayati sharaab aur ladkiyon ka bhi hai lekin aap samajh he gaye hoge ki wo kitna taqatwar insaan hai? Police aur prashashan bhi uske sath hai toh har tarah ke kaam me uska barabar hissa rehta. Aap kisi hero jaise lagte hai aur aaye bhi akele ho is chote lekin bhaari bag ke sath. Chalta hu sir ye aapka kamra hai aur bathroom me saaf toliya, sabun shampoo sab milega. 11 number mila dijiyega jab bhi kuch jarurat ho.", Kisi baire ki tarah salaam maarta hua wo yuwak apna radio band karta hua us saaf suthre kamre ko khol kar wapis chal diya. Bag ek taraf sofe ke saamne lage table par rakh diya tha usne.
'Ye bawli gaand Vishnu pakka is Afeem Khan ko he thokne aa raha hai. Bataya toh koyi bahubali tha ab ye toh lagta hai kayi bahubali ka baap hai jiske sath panga liya. Aur ye londa bhi kaam ka hai jo paini najar rakhta hai. Chal beta Vishnu tujhe tere he andaaj me taare dikhata hu. Jaal tera aur shikaar mera.', Darwaja band karke Narinder ne apne jism se sabhi vastra utaar diye the. Wo aise he bathroom me ghus kar fuhaare ke niche ja khada hua aur tabtak khada raha jabtak ghadi ne 20 minute na ganwa diye. Darwaje ke dusri taraf bajti ghanti se Narinder jaise vartmaan me lauta aur kamar par toliya lapet bheege badan he wo darwaja thoda sa khol kar bahar dekhne laga.
"Sir aapke chahne wale shayad idhar bahot hai. Ek chota sa ladka ye de kar gaya hai aur bol gaya ki Inderjeet ko de dijiye, kamra number 101 wale ko. Maine toh abhi tak aapki entry bhi nahi kari aur hotel me bas yahi kamra book hai abhi.", Yuwak ne wo band lifafa dene ke sath he 555 ki cigrattee ki dabbi bhi Narinder ki taraf badha di jo shayad uska brand nahi tha lekin usko lete he chehre par aayi khaas chamak bahot kuch bayaan kar gayi.
"Dhanyawaad. Aur wo sachmuch mera bhai hai jo bahar tak mere sath tha bas tumne dekha nahi. Yaha khidki se maine hath hila diya tha usko. Ek plate mutton, kheere aur pyaaj ka salaad, 2 gilaas, soda aur VAT 69 ki bottle bhijwa dena bas. Ruko paise lete jao.", Mej par rakhe bag ki jeb se he 500 ke 3 note yuwak ko dete hue Narinder ne aankh maarte hue vida kiya. Darwaja fir se band tha aur bister ke kinare baith kar wo kagaj khola toh pehli pankti par he hansi aa gayi.
'Toh andkosh ki ek he goli padhari hai Vishwajeet ki talaash me? Chalo dusre ne samajhdari dikhaai jo mere kaam me taang adaane se bacha. Ab tumne galti karne ka vichaar bana he liya hai toh bhala hum Narayan avtaar kya kare? Arsa ho gaya tumhe patakhni diye hue lekin pehle he bata deta hu ki ab hath se dil jyada sakth hai toh lautna chaaho toh bhalai hogi. Jaanta hu ki tum wo adiyal khachhar ho jisne naal bhi nahi pehan ni aur dulatti maarne se bhi nahi hatna. Mere kaam ke beech apna kanoon mat lana afsar. Haan dost ki tarah milna chaho toh kabhi Sonagachi me Prabhu Vishwa pooch lena. Badhiya machli ke sath sondesh khila kar gale lagunga. Raaste alag ho toh halaat se samjhauta kar lena chahiye ek pariwarik insaan ho. Main insaan nahi raha aur agar abhi bhi tum peeche aane wale ho toh apni haalat ke jimmewar tum khud hoge. Maksad aaj bhi wahi hai aur hamesha wahi rahega bas kanoon se jara 72 ka aankda hai mera, Office Narinder Sharma. Dhuaan kam udana aur aahuna khaaye bina gaye toh safar bemaja rahega.
Tumhara shubchintak prabhu
Vishnu Vardhan'
"Teri maa ko pranaam karu be. Tu kya sochta hai main taang adaane se peeche hatunga? Aisa pelunga na ki tu khud gale lagega mere aur aahuna toh tere sath khaunga, abhi behosh nahi hona chahta. Dost, kanoon ki tarah aana hota toh tujhe 10 baar thok chuka hota, bhai ki tarah aaya hu ghar lene toh leke he jaunga. Aur tu tera hath pichwade me rakhna kyonki mujhe patakhni dene ke liye tujhe unki jarurat padegi par main wo bandhne wala hu milne se pehle. Tera Afeem Khan aur tera humla karne ki jagah kal se he meri najar me hai. Milte hai savere samay se pehle, meri jaan jhaant ke baal.", Narinder ne pehle packet ko jancha aur fir plastic hata kar ek 555 sulga li. Bheege baal jhatakta wo jaise ab college me hone wale mallyudh se pehle tayaar ho chuka tha.
