Baagh
"Idhar baitho mere paas aur darwaja band kar do pehle. Maa ki parwah chhodo.", Kamre me ye Aanchal thi aur uske gambhir lehje ko dekh Arjun waise he geela toliya lapete hue uske saamne kuch duri par aa baitha. Paanv jameen par tikate hue.
"Mere kamre me aur wo bhi aise kam roshni me?", Arjun ko samajh nahi aa raha tha ke ab wo aur kya kahe. Pehle he shaam ko hui ghatna ki wajah se wo ab Aanchal se kuch katra raha tha.
"Main bas dekhna chahti thi ki tum sachmuch bhale insaan ho ya baaki sabhi ki tarah bhed ki khaal me siyaar. Bhediya isliye nahi kaha kyonki wo jyada pariwarik jeev hota hai Arjun. Dil ka saaf aur sacha. Badi hu tumse toh ek-aadh galti karne ka haq hai na mujhe?", Arjun ye sunn kar he sakte me aa gaya tha ke Aanchal usko aajma rahi thi tab aur uska aisa kehna ki baaki sabhi siyaar hai toh soch se he alag tha. Isliye wo darwaja band karwaya tha Aanchal ne.
"Toh main bhediya hu ya siyaar? Aur aisi galti har roj bhi kar sakti ho lekin main kisi bhi galat jubaan ko bardasht nahi kar sakta, khas kar jab wo mere apno ke liye waisa kahe.", Arjun shaant tha apni baat kehne ke dauraan.
"Tum baagh ho. Aur main jaan gayi thi ki tum waha wapis jaoge aur kuch na kuch jarur karoge. Yahi darr mujhe itni der se is kamre me band kiye hai lekin tum salamat ho toh main bhi ab befikar hu. Waise har jagah taqat ka pradarshan tumhare khilaaf ja sakta hai. Agar tumne waha kuch bhi joshila kiya hoga toh kal tak baat fail jaayegi."
"Nahi failegi aur wo gussa jyada der tak barkaraar nahi tha. Mitti me paseene ke sath usko khatam karke aaya hu main. Lekin aap jaise bahot kuch apne bhitar samete hue ho aur mujhe aajmane ki abhi bhi thos wajah nahi di aape. Kaun siyaar hai yaha?", Arjun apni jagah sthir baitha tha jiska hath pakad kar aankho ke ishare se he Aanchal ne usko kareeb hone ko kaha. Wo sarak kar ab bilkul Aanchal ke kareeb aa chuka tha.
"Diware khokhli ho jaati hai aisi haweliyon ki aur unka sthaan adrishya kaan le lete hai. Main tumhare baare me kuch bhi nahi jaanti lekin yaha kuch log hai jinki thodi pehchaan tumhe jarur honi chahiye. Mere nana ji apne niyam me rehte hai, sabse hans bol kar jeene wale mehnati insaan. Jyada samay unka khet-khalihaan, panchayat aur gaanv sudhaar me gujarta hai. Jitna waqt aaj wo ghar hai utna aksar nahi hote. Bhole bhi hai kuch toh unke sath tum surakshit ho. Naani bilkul unke jaisi nahi hai aur main nahi jaanti ki wo kaisi hai lekin main apni maa ko behtar jaanti hu aur maa ka sambandh naani se bahot gehra hai. Itna gehra ki tum usko naapne ki koshish bhi matt karna.", Aanchal bahar kuch awaaj sunn kar ek pal ruki aur Arjun ke mooh par bhi usne hath rakh diya jaise wo jawaab dene wala ho.
"Galat samajh sakte hai agar unhe pata laga ki aap mere kamre me ho aur main is haalat me tha aapke sath.", Arjun ke kehne ka matlab samajhte he Aanchal ne gor kiya toh uska kehna bilkul sahi tha. Ab mooh par rakha wo hath kanpta hua bister par tika. Ek tarah se toh Aanchal Arjun ke peeche he chhipi hui thi agar koyi darwaje se dektha. Aur Arjun bina kameej ya baniyaan ke sirf ek patle se toliye me.
"Huh.. Raat ko baat karte hai.", Aanchal uthne lagi toh Arjun bhi sath he khada hua kapde pehan ne ke liye lekin usko pata bhi nahi chala ke uska toliya pehle he ghisatne ki wajah se dhila ho chuka tha jo ab farsh pe gira tha. Arjun ne Aanchal ko shaant rehne ka ishara karte hue kadab kapde lene ke liye badhaya. Aanchal ki aankhen apni seema tak fail chuki thi Arjun ki taango ke beech jhoolte us bhujang ko dekh. Supt mudra me bhi 6 inch se upar tha wo ang jiski motaai asadharan. Arjun ko iska ehsaas he na tha aur jab wo peeth kiye hue apni sooti nikkar pehan ne laga toh ab baari uski thi.
"Sorry.. Apni aankhen band kar lo aap.", Aur jis furti se Arjun ne apna jism kapdo me chupaya tha na chahte hue bhi Aanchal mooh chhipa kar hansne he lagi. Arjun ki toh samajh se he bahar ho gaya tha is mahol me kuch bhi kehna.
"Toliya main le kar ja rahi hu aur thik 11 baje galiyare se dusri taraf milna. Nange panv aana aur kapde pehan kar.", Aanchal darwaja kholne ke liye aage jaane lagi toh Arjun ne tok he diya
"Subah baat nahi kar sakte? Dekh raha hu ki aapse 3 baar mulakaat hui hai aaj ek he din me aur teeno bar kuch na kuch ghatna aisi hui hai jiska malal dono ko hai. Din ke ujale me yahi kahi khuli jagah baat kar lete hai."
"Dekha jaaye toh hisaab barabar ho gaya. Hahaha.. Lekin tumhe nahi lagta ke aur bhi kuch hua hoga is ek din me tumhare sath? Jaha main nahi thi? Subah tak der na ho jaaye Arjun isliye main chahti hu ki tum halaat aur insaan ko atche se samajh lo. Main toh shayad kal chali bhi jau wapis.", Aanchal ke jaane ke jikar par Arjun ne sehmati jata di.
"Thik hai phir. 11 baje galiyare ke aakhir me. Waise upar chhatt par jyada surakshit nahi?"
"Waha se nikalne ka ek he rasta hai lekin galiyare ke aakhir me bagiche ki dono taraf se bahar aangan me aane ke 2 aur galiyare hai aur aage bagiche ki taraf bhi rasta hai. Jagah aisi honi chahiye na ja fansna mumkin na ho?", Ab Aanchal ke dimaag me kya chal raha tha ye toh wahi bata sakti thi lekin Arjun uski samajhdari se khasa prabhavit hua.
"thik hai. Aur aap bahar ja kar keh dena ki main phone par baat karke aata hu.", Arjun kamre se uske sath he bahar nikla lekin furti se baithak me ja ghusa jo bagal me he thi. Aisa luka chhipi ka khel wo kyun khel rahe the ye bhi wahi bata sakte the. Damini filhaal rasoighar me he thi.
.
.
"Maine ek cheej par gor kiya dada ji ki ghar me 2-2 television hai lekin dekhta koyi bhi nahi.", Khana hone ke baad jaisa aksar gaanv-dehat me rehta hai waisa he idhar bhi tha. 9 se kuch upar he waqt tha ki sabhi log apne apne kamro me ja chuke the. Meena bhi pashuo ko dekh kar pichli taraf he bane kuch kamro me se apne kamre me chali gayi. Uska koyi pariwar nahi tha jaisa prateet hota tha aur wo idhar kabse thi ye Arjun ne jaan ne ki koshish bhi nahi ki thi. Bahar khule aangan me he wo badi si charpayi par leta aasman me nikle taaro ko dekhta hua bagal wali charpayi par araam karte Krishneshwar ji se batchit me laga tha. Abhi Vinod aur PP Sharma wapis nahi laute the.
"Aisa nahi beta. Jab ghar me koyi bhi vastu hai toh uska prayog bhi hota hai. Main toh kabhi kabhar khabar dekh leta hu ya koyi krishi sambandhi karyakram aata ho toh wo. Ghar pe rehta bhi kitna hu aakhir aur khet me radio rehta hai mere pas. Tumhari choti daadi apni pasand ke dekhti hai shaniwar eitwar ko. Haan Vinod ko jarur chaska hai lekin wo bhi yaha jyada nahi hota toh uske kamre wale ki toh maine awaaj he yada kada suni. Bahu chala deti hai bacho wale Baabu ke manoranjan ke liye. Aur atchi baat hai ki ye dabba jyada nahi chalta. Logo se milna aur baatein karna is se kahi behtar hai. Kal mere sath chaupal chaloge ya baag-khet dekhne?"
"Damini bua keh rahi thi ki aap jaldi waha chale jaate hai aur main unke sath he jau jis se unki bhi boriyat kam ho jaaye.", Arjun ne yaha bhi Damini ke kandhe par bandook chalaai jis par Krishneshwar ji ne haami bhar di.
"Atchi baat hai. Usko shuru se he bada chaav hai kudrat aur baag-bagiche dekhne ka. Choti thi toh main kandhe par leke jata tha usko aur wo waha mitti ke gharonde banati, phal batorti toh kabhi badi haud me he dubki laga leti. Bacho ko yahi sab karna chahiye jis se unka sahi vikaas ho. Roshni bhi jaati thi lekin wo aaj bhi nadaan aur thodi dabbu hai. Binod sabse chota hai toh wo apni maa ke aanchal se laga raha 15 baras aur uske baad seedha shehar ki udaan bhari usne. Khair jiska jo dil kare wo karo. Bas pariwar ke sammaan ko barkar rakhna jaruri hai. Bade bhaiya is maamle me jyada anushashit hai aur mera gathjod thoda nasamajh umar me he ho gaya jis wajah se main unke jaisa nahi ban paya."
"Aisi baat nahi hai dada ji. Bade dada ji toh hamesha aapki tarif he karte hai ki aap bhi niyam aur kartavya ke pakke ho. Itna kaam aap akele he kitne saalo se dekhte aa rahe ho jabki udhar toh dada ji ki madad ke liye kitne he log hai aur papa-chacha-tauji bhi. Aise me pareshani toh aapko he jyada hoti hogi.?", Arjun kaha uljha raha tha unhe ye wo khud bhi nahi jaante the.
"Hahaha.. Ye bhi koyi kathin kaam hai beta? 4 darjan aadmi hai khet sambhalne ke liye aur uske aadhe bagicho ki dekhrekh karte hai jab season hota hai. Nahi toh udhar ke bhi log main kheto me laga deta hu. Hisab-kitab ke liye bhi munim hai waha aur samaan toh phone pe bata do toh beej-khaad yaha pahuch jata hai. Iski koyi alag shiksha nahi hoti jab aap jameen par reh kar he pale badhe ho. Bade bhaiya ko toh mujhse bhi gehri jaankari hai fasal, beej aur kheti baadi ki. Bas jaisa sab chahte the waisa ho na paya aur wo yaha se dur naukri pe chale gaye. Waise tumhe agar dargaah ke mele me honi wali pratispardha me bhaag lena ho toh yaad dila dena. Jugraj ko main bol dunga toh wo tumhi kisi ki jagah khila lega. Anubhav lena chahiye aise avsar ka.", Haweli ka ek kapaat khula aur jeep bhitar dakhil hoti hui apni jagah ja ruki. Vinod aur PP Sharma laut aaye the jinki chaal bata rahi thi ki PP ne kuch jyada he pee rakhi hai lekin Vinod behtar tha.
"Soye nahi bhatije? Papa aap bhi jaag rahe ho aaj?", Vinod ne wahi nal chala kar kulla kiya toh uske dhoondne se pehle he Anamika toliya liye majood thi. Chehra saaf karke Vinod ne wapis toliya apni biwi ko thama diya. PP Sharma toh ruke bina sidha kamre ke bhitar ho liya. Anamika ne khaane ka poocha toh jawaab mila ke kha chuke hai.
"Bas chacha sone he wale hai. Dada ji se khet-bagiche ki baat kar raha tha. Subah jaldi uth kar ghoom aaunga waha bhi aur fir aapke sath nashta karunga.", Arjun Vinod ko yaha se chalta karna chahta tha aur Vinod ka bhi alag hisab tha jaise.
"Haan bhai mujhe bhi neend lagi hai. Kal raat bhi ghar 2 baje lautna hua tha isliye soya nahi. Subah araam se nashte sath karenge aur fir main tumhe kuch jaruri logo se milwane ke baad shehar nikal jaunga. Papa aapne bhi jaldi uthna hai aur araam karte bhi nahi.", Vinod ki baat sunn kar unhone karwat lete hue jawaab diya.
"Bolna band karoge tabhi so sakunga pradhan ji. Ram tumhara bhala kare. Shubhratri Arjun beta.", Ye toh kamaal ki baat thi. Krishneshwar ji sachmuch jald he so gaye the, majaak karne ke baad. Vinod ke kamre se bache ke rone ki awaaj hui toh Anamika pehle waha pahuchi aur fir Vinod bhi. 10 bajne se pehle he haweli khamosh ho chuki thi lekin kuch log the jinki aankhon me neend nahi thi. Arjun khamoshi se aankhe moonde apne sarhane rakhi kalaai ghadi ki tik-tik, hawa se hilte patto ki hali char-char aur dur kahi bhonkte kutto ki wo dhimi awaaj sunta hua nirjiv aasan me pada raha. In sabhi awajo me ab ek tej sur judd chuka tha, Krishneshwar ji ke kharratto ka lekin Arjun wo bhi maje se jhelne laga kaan sajag kiye.
'kat... charrr... kat', Ye dhwani itni dhimi thi ki sadharan insaan shayad he is par gor karta. Lekin Arjun satark ho gaya tha is darwaje ke khulne se jo kisi ke bhi kamre ka ho sakta tha. Kadmo ki bhi khaas aahat na hui lekin kuch he lamha gujra hoga jab aisi dusri awaaj hui aur is baar jo bhi tha wo Vinod ke kamre se nikla tha. Kadmo ki halki si aahat itni kareeb se toh Arjun sunn he sakta tha. Wo kadam sthir ho kar jaise in dono shakhs ko dekh rahe the. Fir pushti hone ke baad inke bhi jaane ki awaaj dhire dhire vilupt ho gayi. Ab Arjun ne jyada harkat na karte hue bas ghadi ka button daba kar samay dekha.
'10:40. Lekin Aanchal didi ne 11 kaha tha. Wahi intjaar kar lunga itne aur ye bhi dekhu ke ye 2 log kaun hai.', Arjun ne machhar se bachane ke liye di gayi chaadar 2 takiyo ko lambvat karke un par udha di. Ye jyada kaargar nahi tha lekin kuch had tak toh andhere me bachaav kar he sakta tha. Abhi wo galiyare ki taraf badhta us se pehle he Damini wale kamre se ek saya nikal kar billi ki tarah mustaidi se galiyare me dakhil ho gaya. Usne Arjun ki taraf dekha tak nahi tha aur uski najar se bachne ke liye Arjun pehle he aut le chuka tha. Lekin duri jyada hone ki wajah se Arjun saaye ko pehchaan na saka.
'Jo bhi ho, dekhna toh padega he ki maajra kya hai?', Arjun saamne wale taraf se aut leta hua andhere se ja raha tha. Kadam dhime lekin beawaaj. Band galiyare me toh wo aise mahol me apni he saansein sunn sakta tha aur idhar andhera kuch gehrane laga tha kyonki aangan ki roshni kamro tak he simit thi jis se ye poori tarah dhaka galiyara is waqt kisi surang sa tha. Antim chhor tak wo pahuch chuka tha jaha se ek taraf chara rakhne wala kamra aur dusri taraf snaanghar tha. Saamne khule bagiche se aati prakritik roshni ne ab drishya kuch had tak saaf kar diya tha jaha Arjun chehre na sahi lekin jism bakhubi dekh sakta tha. Dono taraf ke darwaje khule the jiska matlab tha ke wo log idhar nahi gaye. Satarkta barkaraar rakhta hua wo chaare wale kamre ke kareeb aa khada hua. Abhi tak usne aangan ki roshni me kadam na rakha.
'Ye toh bhool-bhulayya he lagta hai aise samay par. Kamaal hai 3 log the aur teeno he gayab hai.', Mann me khudse baat karta hua Arjun aankhen moond kar yaha ki choti se choti dhwani ko khojne laga. Ye bhi ek tarah ka dhyaan tha jiska abhyaas wo aksar karta tha. Ikka-dukka patto ka hilna, jhingur awaaj aur fir ye unse halki insaani. Arjun ne samajh chuka tha ke wo log kis disha me hai. Kamre se aage bagiche ki taraf jaane ki bajaye wo diwar se sata hua he galiyare ki taraf jhankne laga. Ye idhar aane ka dusra rasta tha jo bahar aangan se ho kar aata tha, khule aasman ke niche. Chaare wale kamre ke peeche bhi kamra tha jiska darwaja is galiyare me the aur aise kuch aur bhi kamre the. Cement ki golakar 5 feet unchi tanki ke peeche ye aakriti uske saamne he chhipi hui is kamre me he dekh rahi thi. Arjun bilaav si mustaidi se thik us aakriti ke peeche ja pahucha. Wo ek stree thi aur uske palatne se pehle he Arjun ne apna hath uske mooh par daba diya.
"Shh..", Bahot dhime se kaan me ki gayi sargoshi se wo dari hui badi badi aankhen kuch sambhalne lagi. Arjun ne dabaav kam kiya lekin hath nahi hataya. Yaha se us kamre ka poora drishya saaf saaf dikh raha tha jidhar maddim peeli roshni me 2 log aapas me lage the. Wo idhar dekhte bhi toh bahar khada vyakti najar nahi aata lekin wo toh apne me he lage the in dono se 5 feet dur.
"Ab batao tum itni kya bekaraar thi jo kal tak ruka nahi gaya? Aag bujhane wala nahi mila kya didi jo is be-gairat aadmi ko bulana pada wo bhi apne he ghar me jaha pati bhi maujood hai.?", Ye Vinod tha jo peeth kiye baitha tha aur saamne jhuki hui wo mahila seedhi hui toh wo poori tarah beparda thi. Ek katra tak nahi tha Damini ke gathile nirvastra badan par. Is drishya ko dekh Arjun ki pakad me aage khadi Aanchal fadfadai toh Arjun ne usko fir se daba diya. Shayad ye beti apni maa ka ye roop Arjun ki maujoodgi me katai dekhna nahi chahti thi.
"Tu hamesha se mere aage peeche mandrata rehta Binodiye aur soyi hui apni is behan ke badan ko aniginat baar tune badi besharmi se sehlaya bhi hai. Aaj jab main khud tujhe mauka de rahi hu toh tere iraade nahi dikh rahe isko paane ke. Main ab waisi nahi rahi kya jaisi college time thi?", Itni besharmi se Damini ne Vinod ka hath pakad kar apne seene rakh diya tha. Vinod jaise asmanjas me tha is se pehle tak lekin un bade gubbare se chucho ko apne hath me mehsoos karte he kas kas ke nichodne he laga. Damini ne dusre hath se Vinod ka ling kapde ke upar se he pakad uttejit karna shuru kar diya.
"Itni meharbani ki wajah kya hai meri randi behan? Tum aise toh apne baap ko bhi nahi bulati jabtak dimag me koyi khichdi na chal rahi ho. 27 saal.. mujhe yaad hai ki 27 saal me is jism par mere siwa lagbhag har us vyakti ne mohar lagaai hai jis se tumhe kaam pada siway ek-2 ko chhod kar. Jinke niche letne me tumhe sachmuch maja milta tha.", Vinod ne kamar uchka kar apna pajama dhila kar diya tha lekin paanv se bahar na kiya. Dono chucho ka jordar mardan bhi jaise Damini ko jara sa bhi dard na de saka. Haan nipple phool kar angoor jitne bade bade ho gaye the aur Damini ne ek kadam aur aage badhate hue dono paanv faila kar khud ko Vinod ki goad me baitha liya. Chehre aamne saamne aur choot ka dabaav lund par banati uski hilti kamar. Damini ke kulhe itne vishaal thi ki kursi ke dono taraf aadha aadha foot uska jism bahar tha. Vinod toh jaise uske adheen he ho gaya tha is harkat ke baad. Bina kuch aage bole usne ek chucha mooh me bhar ke choosna shuru kar diya
"Apni badi didi ko raand bolta hue tere sanskaar kaha gaye Binodiye.. ? Samajhdar bhi hone laga hai tu toh. Umm.. aur thoda sakht bhi. Kunwari seal kholne ko milegi toh badle me kya kar sakta hai?", Damini ne ab mudde ki baat ki thi jab usko laga ki Vinod uske vash me aa chuka hai. Idhar Aanchal ne thoda jor se Arjun ka hath niche ki taraf dabaya toh wo tass se mass na hua lekin dono ne ek dusre ko dekha toh us ladki par taras khaate hue Arjun ne mooh ajaad kar diya. Yaha wo bhi Aanchal ke jism se poori tarah chipka tha jiski wajah bhi yahi surakshit jagah thi jidar se wo log inhe dekh na sake. Par jism ye bhi dono jawaan the aur Arjun fir bhi sannyam se bas un dono ki baat sunn raha tha lekin Aanchal aise garam drishya ko ek tagde mard ke jism se satt kar dekhte hue bechain ho rahi thi lekin aadha dhyaan uska bhi andar walo ki baat par tha.
"Kunwariyon ki duniyan me kami nahi hai behan lekin agar koyi khaas hai toh soch sakta hu. Aahh.. Dhire kar bahot wajan hai tujhme.. Bolo kya chahti hai badle me agar koyi aisi hai tumhare pas jiske liye main naa nahi keh sakta.", Vinod jaise Damini ke bas me hona nahi chahta tha lekin uske bhari sharir ki narmi aur khaas geeli maalish apna qehar dha rahi thi. Idhar mooh khulne ke baad Aanchal ki bhi saansein naak ki jagah mooh se nikalne lagi aur dhadkan kisi ghante ki tarah. Arjun ka hath uske seene se thoda upar he tha jo pehle mooh ko dhake tha. Jhuke hone ki wajah se kulho ke beech ardh-uttejit uske ling ka dabaav bhi ek wajah thi Aanchal ke badhawaas hone ke. Is sabse anjaan Arjun bas Damini ki baat dhyaan se sunn ne me laga tha. Usko apne aaspas bhi sajagta barkaraar rakhni thi.
"Arjun.. Arjun ko dangal tak le jana hoga tumhe. Ummmm..", Damini ne jis buri tarah Vinod ke hontho ko mooh me bhar kar choosa tha Aanchal ne idhar Arjun ka hath apne hath se daba liya. Wo khud he uske hath ko apne seene par ubhre un 36 akaar ke kache kharbujo par le aayi thi. Lekin Arjun toh jaise bas kamre me he uljha hua tha. Uska naam liya tha Damini ne aur wo dangal me kyun pahuchana chahti thi.
"Nahi ho sakta. Ye hargij nahi karunga Damini chahe fir tum ye apni fati hui fuddi tashtari me rakh kar he kyun na paroso ya darjano gaanv ki kunwariyan mere upar vaar do. Arjun ko main katai waha nahi le jaunga jaha papa aur tauji nahi gaye.", Vinod ko aise ekdum bidakte dekh andar uske upar baithi Damini ke sath sath bahar khada Arjun bhi hairat me tha.
"Soch le Binodiye araam se soch le. Meri fuddi fati hui hai ya fudda bann gayi hai lekin badle me main tujhe Aanchal de sakti hu. Wo Aanchal jisko tu har waqt laar tapkata ghoorta rehta hai. Wo Aanchal jisko paane ke liye tu kisi hadd tak ja sakta hai.. Binodiye teri zindagi ka sabse bada sapna hai na uski seal todd kar poori berehmi se bhogna? Main sapne ko haqiqat me badal sakti hu agar tu ye kaam kar de. Nahi toh fir koyi aur karega lekin ek baar aur teri behan ko kisi gair ke niche bichna padega. Mard mana nahi karega lekin tujhe atcha lagega apne hath aayi is maa beti ko aise khona? Dekh tera lund akad kar haan bol raha hai aur tu kuch bhi nahi. Meri bhi ek jagah aaj tak kori hai, uska akela maalik tu banega Binod.. Umm..", Aanchal ka bhi haal Arjun jaisa ho gaya tha ye baat sunn kar. Wo bhi badan me uthte kaamuk ehsaas ko pare karti hui apni maa ka ek aur ghinonapan dekh rahi thi jaha wo usko he daanv par laga rahi thi.
"Haan.. Haan mujhe kisi bhi keemat par Aanchal chahiye didi.. Lekin Arjun ko agar kuch hua toh.. Dekho tum nahi jaanti wo ladka galat nahi hai. Aisa karne se wo tau ji ki najro me gir bhi sakta hai.. Aahhh.. Kyun karna chahti ho tum uske sath aisa? Aahhh..", Damini ne aage jawaab thoda uchak kar Vinod ka wo 4-5 inchi lamba aur majboot ungli se thoda he mota lund apni geeli choot ke bhitar karne ke baad uchalte hue diya.
"Pasand toh wo mujhe bhi aa gaya hai Binodiye.. aahhh.. Aur kisko nahi aayega jab tere jaisa sapola bhi uski tarafdari karne lage? Ummmm.. Maine toh irada bhi bana liya hai ki uske sotte (dande) se apni fuddi kutwa ke rahungi. Ghoda hai re hamara bhatija, poora junglee ghoda jiska lund bhi waisa he hai. Aahhh.. Tu bura na maan Binodiye.. umm.. gaand meri tu he kholega lekin Damini aise ghode ki ghudsawari ka maja le kar he rahegi chahe wo aajtak kora he kyun na ho.. Aaahhh...", Damini poori besharmi se apne dono chuche khud he dabati hui ek laye-taal se Vinod ke lund par uchal rahi thi. Vinod is lamhe me jyada der sirf hairat ki wajah se tika tha aur wo jhadene ke kareeb bhi tha.
"Fir .. chudd lo lekin .. akhade me gaya toh uske sath kuch bhi ho sakta hai.. Tau ji toh ek bar ko usko maaf bhi kar denge lekin zinda raha toh.. Wo log pratiksha me hai didi aise mauke ki aur hamare pariwar ka ladka dekh shayad asool bhi bhula de.. Aahhhh...", Vinod iske baad buri tarah Damini ko jakadta hua hilne laga. Wo jhadd chuka tha lekin Damini uchalti rahi jabtak ki Vinod ki lulli choot se bahar he na nikal gayi. Ek paanv Vinod ki jaang par rakh kar Damini buri tarah apni choot ko masalne lagi jaise wo adhuri reh gayi ho aur jald he uski phuli hui choot ne kaamras udel diya.
"Haaye re Binodiye.. Tu kaise santusht kar sakta hai kisi kheli hui aurat ko? Isliye tu kachi ambiyon ke peeche bhaagta hai na? Aur fikar matt kar Arjun marega nahi. Itna toh naam hai apne pariwar ka aur suraksha bhi rehti hai chahe gaanv-panchayat ki he sahi. Mujhe wajah nahi pata is sabki lekin tu waisa karega ab. Udhar mele ke akhade me Arjun utrega aur dusri taraf tu Aanchal par chadhega. Aur tu ye matt sochna ki ab tu palat sakta hai. Ye chudaai isme record ho gayi hai beawaaj.", Idhar Arjun ne ye sab dekhne ke sath he us roshandaan ko bhi dekha jaha se 2 aankhen yahi drishya dekh rahi thi. Unki nanhi si chamak he wo dekh saka tha lekin jaan gaya tha ke koyi chaare wale kamre me bhi hai. Aur un aankhon ne bhi Arjun ko dekha jiske baad wo gayab ho gayi. Andar Vinod ke haalat toh dhobi ke kutte si ho gayi thi recording wali baat sunn kar. Damini us video camera ko kushalta se dhakk kar bahar aane lagi toh Arjun ne Aanchal ke kandhe dabate hue apne sath us kone me he dubka liya. Damini ne bhi tej kadmo se us jagah ko chhoda aur gusalkhane ka darwaja band hone ki awaaj ne bata diya tha ke wo waha gayi hai. Vinod toh abhi tak dohre sadme me tha ki wo khushi manaye ya dukh. Parantu us se jyada vichlit thi Aanchal, jisko Arjun apne bahupaash me aise bhara tha jaise wo usko kuch hone nahi dega.
'Hume apni jagah wapis pahuchna hoga in dono se pehle.', Arjun ne Vinod ko jhaank kar dekhne ke baad furti se sadme me baithi Aanchal ko kisi bachi ki tarah apni goad me uthaya aur idhar se he dabe paanv bahar aangan me ja pahucha. Car aur jeep ki aut me aane ke baad usne Aanchal ko jameen par khada kiya. Ye jagah mehfooj thi aur sabse atchi khaasi dur.
"Darna matt jara bhi aur galti se bhi ye jaahir na hone paaye ki hum dono kuch bhi jaante hai. Tumhe kharoch tak nahi aane dunga Aanchal, ye vaada karta hu. Fir chahe ek kya dus akhade he kyun na ujaadne pade lekin tumhe na Damini chhu paayegi aur na Vinod. Tumhari maa ke peeche jo khiladi khel raha hai usko he khojne aaya hu main yaha.", Arjun ne aisa Aanchal ke dono gaal apne hatho me le kar kaha tha. Wo bas usko sunti rahi jis tarah se ek khaas haq se Arjun ye keh raha tha. Aanchal ne anjaane he usko baahon me bhar liya.
"Shhh.. Shaant raho aur apne kamre me jao. Main toh najar me aa gaya toh bach bhi jaunga. Tum bathroom ka bahana bhi nahi kar sakti aise sateek samay par.", Damini alag hui toh uski aankhon me paani tha aur jabtak wo kuch samajhti Arjun ne bari bari se dono aankhe choom li.
"Jao aur sab bhool jao. Ye baagh in siyaaro se jyada kushal shikari hai. Bas tum jarurat me sath dena.", Arjun ne usko palta toh pehli baar Aanchal kuch boli.
"Main toh tumse 11 baje milne wali thi kuch batane ke liye. Aur bhi kuch hai jo jaruri hai. Lekin ab toh kal main chali jaungi papa ke sath."
"Mana kar dena jaane se lekin abhi jaldi se niklo. Bol dena idhar wale bathroom gayi thi.", Arjun ne samay jyada hota dekh ye bahana sujhaya tha aur Aanchal ko goom kar ye bahar wale bathroom ke saamne se jaane ka kaha. Usne kiya bhi waisa he lekin Arjun us jagah he sthir khada raha. Jab usko laga ki Aanchal pakke aangan tak pahuch chuki hogi, wo bhi diwar ke kinare chalta hua apni chaarpayi tak ja pahucha. Thik charpaai par baithte the galiyare ki shuruaat me Vinod dakhil hota najar aaya toh Arjun jaanboojh kar hatho par kharish ka dikhawa karne laga. Vinod thaka hara apne kamre me jaane laga toh Arjun ko khujate dekh yahi aa gaya.
"Machharo ne pareshan kar diya kya bhatije? Agarbatti bhi ek he jalaai tum logo ne wo bhi papa wali taraf. Upar se hawa bhi nahi chal rahi. Kamre me so jao chahe mere wale me. Main maa ke kamre me so jaunga.", Vinod Arjun ke barabar baitha tha ab aur bathroom se nikal kar hath dhone ke baad unki taraf aati Aanchal ko dekh kar dono he mann mann hairaan hue. Arjun ko toh laga tha ke wo kamre me ja chuki hogi aur Vinod toh bas uske saamne hone se he khush ho jata tha.
"Nahi chacha, aap meri wajah se pareshan na hoye. Main chhat par so jaunga. Yaha meri taraf ye haud bhi lagti hai na toh shayad isliye machhar hai. Aanchal didi aap bhi jaag rahi ho.?", Arjun ne khade ho kar chaadar takiye sametne ke sath Aanchal ko bhi baatchit me le liya. Kyonki apne kamre me jaane ki bajaye Damini bhi jism par paani girane ke baad yahi chali aayi thi.
"Bathroom karne gayi thi main toh. Udhar andhera rehta hai na toh darr lagta hai. Jab gayi thi toh tum soye hue the aur mama bhi yaha nahi the. Maa tum bhi jaag rahi ho?", Ab Aanchal ne bhi Arjun ke dimaag ke sath apna dimag upyog karte hue ye drishya sahi sanvaad ke sath prastut kiya.
"Ludo khelne ki tayari toh nahi kar rahe tum log?", Damini ki nautanki sachmuch alag he ster ki thi.
"Nahi bua idhar machar kaat rahe the toh uth kar chhat pe jaane laga hu bas. Chacha tehal rahe the toh mujhe dekh kar poochne aa gaye. Aap bhi bathroom se aa rahi hai?", Arjun ne seedhiyon ki taraf kadam rakhne se pehle ye betuka sawaal kiya.
"Haan. Garmi jyada lagti hai mujhe jaise maine din me bataya bhi tha. Nahane gayi thi beta bas. Jaha dil kare waha so jao tum.", Aanchal kamre me ja chuki thi kyonki uska kirdaar toh is drishya me bas itna he tha.
"Main bol bhi raha hu ki mere kamre me so jaaye, waha pankha chalu hai. Light toh jaane kab aayegi? Kal generator lagwa he dunga is se atcha."
"Nahi chacha main waha bhi chhat pe jyada sota hu aur aap bhi araam kijiye fir subah kaam bhi karne hai. Goodnight bua.", Arjun toh chaadar, dari aur takiye liye bina aage koyi baat kiye seedhiyan chadh gaya.
"Tere saamne utha tha?"
"Mere aane par he utha aur hath khuja raha tha in machharo ki wajah se. Wo bhi is bathroom se he nikli thi mere saamne jab yaha aa kar baitha toh.", Vinod dhimi awaaj me jawaab dene ke baad narajgi se apne kamre ki jagah saamne wali kataar me apni maa ke kamre me chala gaya. Wo aisa aksar karta tha jab ghar hota. Damini bhi nishchint ho kar gungunati hui ja chadi apne bister par.

"Mujhe ye sab ajeeb lag raha hai Inder aur thik bhi nahi. Bhole, dekh galat mat samajhiyo par hamare paas khone ke liye ab gunjaaish nahi hai. Aise me Arjun ko daanv par laga kar kyun vansh ka ant karwane par tule ho tum dono? Kam se kam mujhse toh pooch lete ek baar bhai.", Sabhi gharwale haweli se vida le kar shehar ja chuke the Sanji-Radhika ka grih-pravesh, mandir aur raat ke bhoj paschaat. Umed ne in dono ko rok liya tha jaruri baatchit ke liye. Uska mann vyathit ho utha tha jabse Narinder ne Arjun aur dargaah wale mele ki baat kahi thi. Shankar toh bas charcha me baitha tha jaise is mamale ki jimmewari swayam Narinder ki ho.
"Aur ye baat bol bhi kaun raha hai? Tujhse toh hum dono nasihat aur taqat lete hai Gajju aur tu he haq ki khilafat kar raha. Aur kaunsa vansh? Udhar Sanjiv hai is se pehle aur wo yaha bhi utna he hai. Arjun ko bhi maut ke saamne nahi khada kiya jo tujhe aaj darr lagne laga. Dekh Shankar, ye kaisi baar kar raha hai?",Narinder jaam ko ek he saans me poora gatak kar apna he sar sehlane laga.
"Paani toh daal leta be gonchulaal. Aur main 2 he baat kehna chahta hu. Pehli, ki vansh betiyon se bhi barkarar rehta hai jo ki hamare pariwar ki sabse badi daulat hai aur dusri hai Gajju ka darr kyonki wo jayaj hai Inder. Tu khud he soch bhai jara ke us taraf toh apna har baal salamat raha lekin yaha toh bacha he kya tha? Ye phir bhi peeche nahi hata tha jab mamla teri-meri aukaat se bahar ho chala. Aakhiri toh ye tha haweli per jiski ek mahine baad shaadi hone wali thi. Us din Gajju ko kuch ho jata toh haweli me ye thodi bahot jiwan ki saansein kya sunaai deti.? Lekin ye tere jaisa he toh hai jo ya toh bahot gehraai se sochta hai ya fir bilkul bhi nahi. Aaj isko shayad waisa he mehsoos ho raha hoga jaisa us waqt hua tha lekin aaj ye chacha ki jagah hai toh darr lagna he hai.", Yaha baat us daur ki ho rahi thi jab wo bhishan nar-sanhaar hua tha jisme sabhi ke pariwar bhikhre the. Narinder ko ab apni galti ka ehsaas ho gaya tha aur bina deri kiye usne Umed ka hath apne dono hatho me pakad liya
"Bhai se bhi toh galti hoti rehti hai be Gajraaj? Aur yar tu jaanta hai ki main usko kuch hone nahi dunga. Maine aajkal papa ko karwat lete dekhe hai raat me. Wo so nahi rahe hai jyada jaise unhe asankhya deemak din-raat andar he andar kha kar khokhla kar rahi ho. Wo hatthi hai aur jaahir hone nahi dete jaise ye jaahir nahi hone diya ki wo hum sabhi se kitna pyaar karte hai. Sach kahu toh apni peeda khatam karne ke liye unhone hum me se kisi ko bhi iski bhanak tak nahi lagne di. Yaar ab tu he bata ke atche bete ka farz kya hai?", Narinder dwara apne pita ke peeda me hone ki baat jaankar ab baari Shankar ki thi vichlit hone ki jabki Narinder ye bata Umed ko raha tha.
"Maa chod ke r..."
"Shaant be bhole shaant. Chacha ji ko yahi ummeed hai tujhse aur humse ki hamare bas ka bas ye sab hai jo abhi tu apne is anmol mukh se prakat kar raha tha. Kitni rasbhari baatein karta hai na Inder ye poojniya chikitsak? Thanda reh Bhole kyonki Inder jo keh raha hai wo jyada bada sach hai tere mere ya kisi aur ke aapsi lagaav judaav se. Bol Inder teri khojbin kya kehti hai?", Umed aakhir tha toh inka bhi sage se badh kar aur usko toh katai ye maafi swikaar nahi thi.
"Isne bataya na ki mele me Arjun jaayega aur chunoti lega. Bas usko jeetna hai aur hamare dada ji ka naam wapis waha lagana hai. Papa in sab baaton ki fikar karte hai jo tujhe toh pata he hai Gajju.", Shankar ne toh itni saralta se jo samjha tha wahi keh diya lekin Umed apna hansna na rok saka. Aur Shankar ke jawaab par ab Narinder bagle jhaank raha tha. Aakhir Shankar ganit me jyada se jyada seedhi lakir he samajhta tha.
"Isko bolne toh de Bhole. Jo tu keh raha hai wo bhi baat hai lekin sirf utni he nahi. Ab tu mat jhijhak aur poori baat bata. Shankar ke hajam hone jitni mujhe bhi pata hai.", Ab Shankar ghoor raha tha in dono ko.
"Haan.. wo maine pata lagaya hai kuch apne sutro se. Papa ne apne adhikariyon se alag kuch khaas guptchar sewayen bhi li thi jaise wo kuch khoj rahe ho. Jyada toh pata nahi lag paya kyunki baat purani thi aur jo vyakti mujhe jaankari de raha tha wo sirf junior tha. Mukhya vyakti ka intkaal ho gaya tha kisi durghatna me. Shankar gaanv ka sabse bujurg vyakti kaun hai jara bata toh yaad ho tujhe?", Narinder jaanta tha kaise Shankar ko ye ehsaas karwana hai ki wo log usko kisi tarah se bhi kam nahi aankte. Khair ye mudda tha toh pakshpaat wala lekin dono pyaar bhi karte the apne is saral-buddhi se.
"Haan mujhe waha ke har aadmi ka pata hai. Ek toh Major Randeep ke bade bhai Succha Singh ji hai jo papa se bhi 10 saal bade honge. Ek wo sarpanch lodu hai na Kewal? Arre jiski lugaai maine pehli holi pe he patak ke chod di thi aur tu bol raha tha ke pakka wo sabko bata degi. Lekin baad me wo khud aayi thi na mere pas?", Inder hansi ko rokne ki koshish me asamarth ho gaya tha aur jab hasna toh Umed uske sath.
"Tu bhi na Shankar. Abe maine jo sawaal kiya uska jawaab dete dete tu kaha pahuch gaya? Us time waha agli taraf 20 ghar the aur tune har ghar me thappa laga rakha tha. Ye Gajju ko bhi pata hai aur mujhe. Naam bata na ke waha sabse purane jinda bande kaun kaun hai?", Ab Shankar khisiyata sa hansne laga apne he jawaab par.
"Haan wo Kewal ka baap bahot purana aadmi hai. Hmmm.. ek wo daar ji jo gurughar me granthi bhi the aur teacher bhi.. Pyaarelal ji.. wo toh shayad century maar chuke na Inder? Lekin aaj bhi akele poora gaanv ghoomte rehte hai. Unse purana toh koyi zinda nahi hona. Jugraj ke baapu ji bhi apne papa jitne hai aur wo bade he bhale aadmi hai yaar. Bahot dukh hua tha mujhe jab unki biwi ka dehant hua tha wo bijli ki taar girne se. Jab bhi unke ghar jana hota tha na toh Jugge ki bebe apne hath se he lassi pe aaya taja alooni (makhan) mujhe khilati thi. Main bhi unke kehne se pehle he bhainse johad le jata tha nehlaane. Waha mera he faayeda jo hota tha. Bhainse 2-3 ghante padi rehti thi paani me aur itna time bahot hota tha..", Shankar itni jaldi fir se bhatak utha.
"Sala iske kaunsi nalki fit ho gayi thi bachpan me Inder.? Ye tabhi chhuttiyon me hamare sath kam aur aise aaltu-faltu jugad me jyada laga rehta tha. Aur waha chacha ji aa jaate the toh ye nanihaal nikal jata tha yahi sab maje karne. Tera un maamlo me sar nahi dukhta tha Bhole? Aur tu sachmuch desi murga he tha jo choti badi, bhabhi ho ya kaaki sabko faans leta tha. Lagta hai ye us jehar ka he dushparinaam hai jo tu mastishk ki jagah apne ling se jyada sochta hai. Haan toh Inder isko toh jitne naam pata the wo isne bata diye. Us daur ki jawaniyon ke naam puchega toh ye bina bhatke 50 gina dega wo bhi ek saans me.", Umed ab Shankar ke he maje le raha tha jo in se narajgi dikhata hua bas peg piye jaa raha tha.
"Naa toh sahi batayen hai bhi Gajju isne, lekin doctor hai na toh sabhi detail de deta hai. Toh sunn bhai baat aisi hai ki Succha Singh, Daar ji (Pyaarelal ji) aur wo pehalwan hai na Shahid, uske dada ji. Ye log hai jinke sath papa sampark me rahe the us dauraan lekin duty ki wajah se milna tabhi hota tha jab fursat lagti thi jo ki saal me ek ya jyada se jyada 2 bar. Unhone bhi jitna pata tha wahi bataya papa ko lekin wo jaankari bhi unhe kahi na le ja saki. Kuch juda hua hai Saarang aur mehal se bhi lekin maa ne toh unhe khojbin aur gaanv ke maamlo me shamil na hone ki saugandh pehle he de rakhi thi isliye papa ke hath bandhe reh gaye poori jindagi. Ab shayad umar badhne ke sath sath unke pas pariwar ke pyaar aur ateet ki yaadon ke siwa kuch bacha nahi hai. Atche beto ki jimmewari kya hoti hai Gajju?"
"Ki apne pariwar ko hamesha kaayam aur khush rakhe, har musibat se unki hifajat rakhte hue."
"Bilkul thik lekin isme ye bhi jodd de bhai ki jab mata-pita sahare ki umar me pahuch jaaye toh unka ye samay chinta-heen ho. Aulaad karja nahi chuka sakti apne mata-pita ka lekin unhe chain toh dila sakti hai na bhai. Ajju toh jaise papa ki bechaini tabhi samajh gaya tha aur upar se Raghuvir chacha se wo unki bagal me let kar har baat ugalava leta tha. Wo maamla bhi idhar se juda hua hai kyonki papa aur chacha udhar se idhar aaye. Chacha waha wapis gaye he nahi fir lekin Ajju har baar bahane dhoond he leta tha mujhe waha le jaane ke. Khoj wo bhi raha tha kuch na kuch aur yahi wajah hai ki papa aur chacha ne uski zindagi jaane par case aadha adhura wahi chhod diya. Humne toh jitne saamne aaye sabhi ujaad diye kyonki humko toh yahi laga na ke humne he sabse bada dukh jhela hai. Chacha sambhal bhi gaye the ya wo papa ki wajah se dikhawa karte rahe sahi hone ka lekin papa us din ke baad jaise humse dur he hote gaye. Sabko dikh raha tha ke chacha aashram me hai jabki papa bhi toh khud ko maansikta me wahi le ja chuke the. Maa aur chachi he diler nikli hum sabse toh, jinhone ghar bikharne na diya chahe akele me din raat aansu bahati rahi. Abe hum log na aaj bhi waise he hai jo apne dukh ka rona liye rehte hai ya apne naam ko badhane me lage hai jis se fir se waisa he ateet saamne sar na utha sake. Lekin ateet gaya he kaha hai jo laut ke aayega? Papa ke dil main hai wo ateet, chachi ke akelepan hai wo dard jo khush hone ka dikhawa isliye karti rehti hai ki bache khush rahe. Gajju tere na sone ke peeche hai wo dukh jo khatam hone ka naam he nahi le raha chahe jitna marji bhaag le tu us se. Waisa he haal iska hai aur mera. Ab waqt hai sabhi jimmewariyan poori karte hue apna asli dharam nibhane ka. Phir chahe iske liye apne sath sath Arjun ko he kyun na daanv pe lagana pade, main toh kadam peeche nahi le jaane wala.", Narinder ne yaha baithe teeno ka he sach khol kar rakh diya tha jisme wo khud bhi ek tha. Shankar bhi thandi aah bharta hua thoda gumgeen sa ho chala jiske hath par hath rakhte hue Umed ne dhandas bandhaya.
"Sahi bolta hai ye Gajju. Sala jitna marji dikhawa kar lu vyast hone ka, lekin akele me aaj bhi main na Ajju ko bhula paya hu na khud ko maaf kar saka hu. Mann dohra ho jata hai jab Arjun ko dekhta hu. Wo sabko pyaar me bandhe rakhta hai aur papa bhi uske sath jaise baaki sabkuch bhool jaate hai chahe kuch waqt ke liye sahi. Tu bhi usme apna sabkuch dekhta hai aur ye Inder bhi. Wo kam-umar jab jimmewari samajh sakta hai toh ab main bhi uski dhaal banunga. Bahot hua behanchod ye randirona aur daaru. Mera londa akhada fateh karega uske baad he hath lagaunga main is bottle ke.", Shankar jajbaati ho chala tha jabki sirf 2 peg he khatam hue the.
"Karna kya hai?"
"Pehle toh wahi karna hai jo hum hamesha se karte aaye hai Gajju. Yaad hai na gend (ball) se maar-dhaad kaise khelte the gali mukable me? Ek jana bahar nikalta tha jis se saamne wale us ke liye bahar nikal aaye. Aur fir unko hum gherte the. Bas filhaal dikhawa karna hai ki hum log bahot vyast hai aur gaanv se hamara kuch lena dena nahi. Is dauraan main waha par najar rakhunga aur dekhna hoga ki Arjun chunoti kaise swikaar karta hai? Uske kaan tak toh baat main pahuchane ka jugad kar chuka hu. Sab us par he nirbhar karta hai. Ya toh suraag wahi par hath lag jaayega nahi toh Arjun mehal me sendh lagane ki jugat jarur bhidayega. Par chunoti bhi samasya hai.", Narinder ki samasya wali baat se Shankar sehmat tha lekin Umed ko jaise ye mamla samajh nahi aaya.
"Usko pata lagega ki ye karna jaruri hai toh wo har haal me karega Inder. Phir samasya kaisi?"
"Pehli baat hai ki papa ye rokna chahenge kyonki wo usko khatre me nahi jaane denge. Chalo Arjun unhe mana bhi lega kyonki wo unse bina pooche aisa karne wala bhi nahi toh dusri samasya hai ki ya toh usko ek sathi ki jarurat hogi jo chunoti de sake uske sath kyonki akhaade me 2 pehalwan he mil kar thaap de sakte hai. Agar waha pehle he 2 pehalwan jhandi khadi karte hai toh fir Arjun ko chahiye hogi poori team jo is se bhi jyada mushkil kaam hai. 4 aur log hone chahiye uske sath. Bari bari se ye log un 2 logo se bhidenge jisme agar Arjun jeet bhi jaaye toh baaki 4 me se 2 ko bhi har haal me unhe harana hoga. Aur wo kisi par bharosa nahi kar sakta. Sabse eham hai ki hamare gaanv se ek bhi khiladi uska sath nahi dega toh ab wo kaise bhaag lega?", Narinder ne byora dene ke sath sath dono ko he is jaruri pehlu se avgat karwaya jiska hal jaise Umed ke paas tha.
"Main udhar ke niyam jaanta hu Inder aur main toh bas ye jaan na chahta tha ki tum Arjun ka prayog kaise karne wale ho aur agar koyi atirikt jaankari tumhare paas hai toh wo bataoge. Toh tumhari khoj bhi tabhi aage badhegi jab Arjun ye nirnaya leta hai? Iska hal toh hamesha he chacha ji ke pariwar me raha hai Inder. Main tum logo ke sath udhar nahi jata tha kyonki wajah tum jaante he ho lekin dargah ke mele me lagne wale akhade ka Ajju se pehle se mujhe pata tha. Maa ne he toh usko kahani sunaai thi lekin sirf papa aur chacha wali. Tumhe yaad hai na ki tum dono ne waha kabaddi ki team ko chunoti de daali thi aur waisa isliye kar paaye kyonki akhaade me tum khade the. Ajju aisa nahi kar sakta tha isliye wo tumhe le kar gaya. Wo leke toh Shankar ko jana chahta tha par ye janab kahi aur vyast the. Akhade ka sabse jaruri niyam hai ki isme lalkaarne ka pratham haq Bade Pandit ji ke khoon ko hai jo ki chacha ji ne bhi kiya aur unke sath papa bhi hote the. Lekin tab ya toh dur-daraaj ke gharane, rasookhdar jamindar aur bade vyapaari tabke se chunoti utha sakta tha ya samkaksh gaanv jo ki jyada nahi the. Tab ye 5 aur 2 wala hisaab nahi tha. 2 ke sath 2-2 ke jode me 5 bhidant hoti thi. Maa ne aakhiri muqabla dekha tha mere nana ji ke sath aur wo us samay 14 ya 15 baras ki rahi hongi.", Umed itne barso me wo baat aaj inhe bata raha tha jabki ye bachpan se sath rahe the.
"Fir aage kya bataya unhone?", Indar ne Shankar ko shant rakhte hue poori jaankari leni chahi. Jaise usko nayi umeed dikh rahi ho.
"Maa ladli thi apne papa ki aur bade Pandit ji ne unke sath papa ke rishtey ki baat chalaai thi isliye nana ji maa ki sehmati lene ke hisaab se unhe bhi apne sath mele le gaye. Mulakaat toh shaadi se pehle karwai nahi jaati thi lekin dur se dikha kar samaaj ka niyam bhi nahi tootne wala tha. Maa ne bataya ki uske baad jo hua wo usko dekh kar darr gayi thi. Akhade me kushti ke khaas niyam nahi the. Papa aur chacha us aakhiri jodi se ladne wale the jo baaki thi, 4 ko harane ke baad. Kisi shahi sewak ne chacha ke kaan me kuch bataya tha aur wo tabhi bahar nikalne lage the ki pratidwandi ne unhe peeche se jakad liya. Phir maa behosh ho gayi ye dekh kar ki chacha ne us pehalwan ka sar mitti me he daba diya tha utha kar patakte hue. Dusre wale ke sath papa ne kya kiya unhe nahi pata lekin jab maa hosh me aayi toh wo apne ghar thi aur unhone kaha ki wo kisi se bhi shaadi kar lengi lekin us jaanwar se nahi jo insaan ko insaan nahi samajhta. Baad me aksar papa un par tanj karte toh wo kehti thi ki unke sath dhokha ho gaya. Papa toh chacha se bhi badhkar nikle us maamle me.. Hahaha", Umed ka bhi dimag thoda bahot toh Shankar jaisa he tha jo wo kahani sunate hue usme he kho gaya.
"Waah yaar ye baat toh humko bhi nahi pata thi. Ajju ne bhi kabhi nahi kahi.", Shankar ki jigyasa aur khushi dekh Narinder ne apne he thappad maar liya.
"Saare dhille mere palle. Oye Shankar, wo niyam batane wala tha aur shadi dikhane laga apne maa baap ki. Abe Gajju tu toh sachmuch iska he bhai nikla. Abe mudde ki baat toh bataai he nahi? Aur tune pehle ye kyun nahi bataya kabhi?"
"Maa ne mana kiya tha bhai aur wo kehti thi ki ye sab papa ko bhi pata nahi chalna chahiye. Haan us shahi sewak ne kya kaha tha chacha ke kaan me ye toh unhe pata nahi laga kabhi. Poocha bhi tha unhone papa aur chacha se toh papa ne unhe ye baat kabhi na poochne ki kasam de ke chup karwa diya. Niyam ye hai ki Arjun akela bhi chunoti utha sakta hai. Lekin fir niyamanusaar ya toh wo 5 jodidaro se bhidega ya fir akela raha toh wo ek ek karke 5 log aa sakte hai. Reverse bhi ho sakta hai. Aur maine wo kahani isliye sunaai kyonki akhade me he kuch hua hoga tabhi fir chacha ji waha nahi gaye. Us aadmi ne kya sandesh diya hoga unhe jisko sunn kar wo maidaan he chhod kar jaane lage the?"
"Haan ye toh gor he nahi kiya maine? Matlab us din kuch hua tha aur chote chacha yahi toh bata rahe the be Shankar ki durghatna hui thi lekin unhe yaad nahi atche se. Phir papa-chacha waha kabhi wapis kushti karne nahi gaye. Ajju ke sath main gaya tha isliye maar bhi mujhe he padi thi kyonki wo main tha. Aur ye niyam wali baat bahot sahi hai. Arjun 2 ko toh lapet he sakta hai jitna main jaanta hu. Bas baaki ye jo paheliyan papa ke dil me dabi hai inka raaj kholna hai. Saarang bhi kahi na kahi shamil hoga isme aur mehal me bhi raaj jarur dafan honge. Dada ji ko jaan ne wale hai toh wo maulvi sahab hai ya fir daar ji. Ab umar ki wajah se unhe kitna pata hoga ye keh nahi sakte. Arjun se seedhi baat karna hamare he khilaaf jaayega kyonki tab papa ne humko daboch lena hai.", Narinder bol bol kar apne dil ki baat kar raha tha.
"Arjun par he najar rakhwa Inder aur aise ki bas uske gaanv se bahar hone ka pata hume lagta rahe. Satark itna rehna hoga jitna tu Ajju ke maamle me tha ya jitna jyada tu aaj ho sakta hai apne anubhav ki wajah se.", Umed ne sahi raaye di thi.
"Hmmm.. Gaanv se bahar he khojbin hogi kyonki gaanv toh papa ki jadd me hai he. Matlab waha kuch khaas nahi milne wala aur milega toh aisi jagah jaha papa bhi nahi soch sakte. Lekin kya Arjun itna jyada chaukanna hai ki us se duri rakhni pade?"
"Behanchod pakka baghira hai be wo Inder. Mowgli wala baghira jiske kaan baaki jism se jyada tej aur najar jhurmut ke peeche se har taraf dekhti rehti hai. Maine bhi kabhi koshish ki thi aur mujhpe he bhari pada wo fainsla. Sanjiv ne chupan-chupaai khelni chahi toh usne usko he daboch liya sudha uski asliyat. Gajju sahi keh raha hai ki agar najar rakhni hai toh bahot dur se aur kahi bhi usko shak na hone paaye. Teri asliyat jaan gaya toh phir tu bhi ghar na rehne wala.", Shankar ka purana anubhav bol raha tha aur Umed hansne laga.
"Tu toh kehta tha ke wo mowgli hai be Shankar. Nanga-punga rehne wala mowgli toh fir baghira kaise ho gaya?", Narinder apne he raag alaap raha ab.
"Toh dono koyi alag alag thodi na the wo toh hum logo ko ullu banane ke liye kahani aise likhi thi ki mowgli usme daal diya. Asal me Rudyard Kipling sanki aadmi tha jo jaanwaro me raha barso tak. Unki jaankari ekathi karne ke sath sath usne alag kahani bhi likh daali aur ye mowgli kirdaar bas aatma jaisa tha kuch jo baghira ka he wo roop tha jo baaki sabko uljhaye rakhta. Kya bolta tha wo baghira ke liye, jungle me rehni wali parchaai jisko chappe chappe ka pata tha aur najar rakhta tha har ghatna par. Sherkhan tak us parchaai ko pakad na saka. Bhala aisa mumkin bhi tha? Isliye Sherkhan se mowgli ki bhidant dikhai kyonki baghira ko zinda rakhna tha, jungle ki aatma ke roop me.", Shankar 1967 me bane us chalchitra ka varnan karne laga jo unhone sath dekha tha college se pehle. Umed toh lagbhag lotpot he ho gaya uski gambhir nautanki dekh.
"Bas kar bhai bas kar. Aur Inder tu isko khud ateet me le jaayega toh fir ye peeche kyu hatega. Ab mudde ki baat hai ki tujhe Arjun par najar rakhni hai, mumkin ho toh mele me upasthit ho jana. Mera dil keh raha hai ki anisht ho sakta hai waha par. Aur Shankar jaisa Inder ne kaha, humko ab gharwalo ke jitna saamne ho sake utna rehna hai. Unhe nahi lagna chahiye ki hum kuch kar rahe hai. Main mere jugaad lagata hu is mehal ke itihaas khangalne ki aur Saarang ka chittha Daleep nikaal he dega. Waise jaankari pehle se bhi hai hamare pas lekin jitni jyada ho utna behtar. Par hum me se koyi bhi ek dusre se bina salaah kiye koyi kadam nahi uthayega. Inder ye tere par jyada laagu hai. Main bhi is mahine daaru nahi peene wala ab."
"Bache bhi kitne din hai mahine me? Tu Delhi aur apne petrol pump sambhal. Hum chale ghar. Kal Madhuri ne aana hai damaad ke sath aur fir Sanjiv ke saas-sasur ne bhi. Bache ghoomne chale jaayenge toh ghar bhi dekhna hoga. Kal tu he le aayio chachi aur bhabhi ko waha. Main is chunoti ka karwata hu kuch subah aur ek meeting bhi hai meri sanki bhaiya ke sath. Chal Shankar uth aur tu he gaadi chalayega ghar tak. Bada tu hai aur jimmewari teri mujhe sahi salamat ghar pahuchane ki. Mowgli aur baghira ek hai.. hahahaha.. Jungle ki aatma.. Abe ye doctor kaise bana?", Narinder chalte chalte peit pakad ke hansne laga tha lekin jald he wo khamosh ho gaya jab Purnima ji ki awaaj sunaai di.
"Oye bas karo tum teeno. Biwi bache ho gaye lekin bachpana badhta ja raha hai tumhara. Shankar beta inhe samjha thoda.", Ab Shankar kya kehta ki wo he wajah hai iske peeche.
"Haan chachi ye dono mujhe mandbudhi bol kar mera majaak uda rahe the. Main ghar ja raha hu Inder ko leke aur maa se shikayat karunga iski. Gajju ko aap he samjhana, mujh par raub maarta hai bada hone ka.", Jabtak Purnima ji galiyare me aati ye dono ja chuke the.
"Tu kyu satata hai re usko? Bhola hai toh hai lekin bhai hai tera. Tere sath sath is Inder ke bhi kaan khinchungi main kyunki tum dono mil jaate ho toh wo akela ho jata hai. Roti nahi khaayi na unhone?"
"Haan wo ghar ja ke he khaayenge. Aur main majaak nahi udata wo baat he aisi karta hai maa lekin aap bas uska he paksh lena. Chalo meri roti lagwa do apni bahu ko bol kar. Kal kal hu yaha fir 3 din kaam dekhunga.", Umed apni maa ko ek taraf se apne sath lagaye andar chal diya. Yahi inka hansi majaak tha jo dukh sukh me hamesha barkarar rehta tha. Kitni peedhiyan gujar chuki hongi sath aur kitni aage sath chalni thi. Dil se rishtey the aur ye khoon se jyada majboor evam gehre the.

Sanjiv aaj Arjun ki anupasthiti me apne dada daadi ki sewa karke jab kamre me lauta toh vyast din aur bhagdaud ki wajah se buri tarah thak chuka tha. Usko toh ye bhi yaad nahi raha ki subah usne Radhika se kuch chahat jataai thi. Usko poora karne ke badle me Radhika bhi wo uphaar pana chahti thi jo uske devar ne apne bhai ko diya tha is pyaari bhabhi ke liye. Honeymoon pe jaane ki tayaar bhi Radhika lagbhag poori kar chuki thi aur Sanjiv ki pratiskha karti hui wo kab so gayi us thandi hawa me usko pata he nahi chala. Kamre me dakhil hone ke baad Sanjiv darwaja laga kar kapde bhi badal chuka tha lekin maddim roshni me gehri neend soyi Radhika ke chehre par shikan tak na aayi. Gale tak jism chaadar me dhake wo kitni pyaari dikh rahi thi isko Sanjiv ke shabd byaan na kar sake.
'I love you and sorry.', Gaal ko halke se choomne ke baad wo uski bagal me he pichli taraf leit gaya. Ek hath Radhika ki kamar me lepet kar sahi se chipakte hue. Radhika alsaai si palat kar kachi neend me he Sanjiv ke hontho ko choomne ke baad uske seene par hath firane lagi.
"Toh neend khul gayi tumhari.? Sorry yar main tumhe jagana nahi chahta tha aur dada ji se baat karne ke sath sath dono ke paanv dabate hue waqt ka pata bhi nahi chala. Tum araam karo aur main bhi sota hu.", Ab dono ek dusre ki taraf chehra kiye the.
"Ummm.. mera wo gift dene ke baad tum so jana."
"Hey prabhu ye ladkiyan aur inke gift. Subah dekh lena yar Radhika, kyun mashakkat karwana chahti ho. Aur maine bhi badle me kuch manga tha."
"Haan toh kya ye chaadar waise he audh ke leti hu main? Lekin baat bas pehan ne ki hui thi toh maine sone se pehle ye pehan liye ab tum mujhe mere devar ka gift do.", Radhika toh peecha he nahi chhod rahi thi beshak aankhen alsaai si aur badan thakaan se choor. Uske nakhoon apne seene par chalte dekh Sanjiv ne furti se wo chaadar utha di. Lekin Radhika ne wapis khinchne ki jagah apna chehra Sanjiv ke seene me dafan kar liya.
"Dekhne toh do ki qayamat kitni haseen ho sakti hai?", Ab wo peeche khishak kar us jaalidar sukhsm paridhan me Radhika ka sabkuch dekh pa raha tha. Kapda tha he kidhar us jaalinuma kameej me. Baaki jism alf prakritik roop me tha.
"Bas dekh liya na ab lao gift.", Radhika ne chaadar wapis upar lene se pehle apne ubhaar tak Sanjiv ko atche se najar karwaye. Sanjiv bhi uske badan ko sahi se chaadar me chhipane ke baad uth kar apni wali almari tak pahucha. Kuch samay lagane ke baad wo wapis bister par lauta toh hath me ek file, ek seal band lifafa aur gatte ka lamba chokor dibba tha. Itna sab dekh kar Radhika bhi seene par chaadar lapet utsukta se lagbhag baith he gayi.
"Ye sabkuch Arjun ne diya hai? Aur file jaisa uphaar?"
"Khud he dekh lo tum Radhika kyonki is maamle me Arjun ke pyaar ne mujhe bhi bandh diya hai toh main devar bhabhi ke beech nahi padne wala.", Radhika ne mej par rakhe lamp ko jala kar sabse pehle wo file he khangalni shuru ki. Sabse pehla kaagaj koyi affidavit jaisa tha stamp paper laga. Uske baad kuch 2 aur panne. Aakhir me bank ki copy jiske sath ek chitthi bhi thi. Radhika wo sab bade gor se padhti rahi.
"Ye sab kya hai Sanjiv? Aur tumhe ye Arjun kaise de sakta hai? Kya itne adhikar hai uske paas aur chote bhai se tum le bhi kaise sakte ho?"
"Khud padhne ke baad bhi sawaal kar rahi ho yar tum? Aur wo kitne adhikar rakhta hai ye tum bas 2 raat me nahi jaan sakti. Usne jo diya hai wo tumhe diya hai jaise apni baaki sabhi behno ko aur jinka haq banta hai. Uphar samajh kar nahi lena chahti toh jimmewari samajh lo kyonki waha dadaji aur Rekha chachi ki bhi gawahi hai. Yaha sabki padhaai aur shaadi tak ka intjaam pehle se kar diya gaya hai aur jidhar dada ji daan-kalyaan karna chahte hai wo Arjun ke hatho wo karwate hai. Ab tum pariwar ka atoot hissa ho Radhika toh ye tumhara haq hai jo usne diya hai. Account honeymoon se aane ke baad pakka karwa lena branch ja kar. Ab ye bhi dekh lo jis par confidential likh kar seal tak laga rakhi hai mere bhai ne. Jaane kya dhamaka band kar rakha hai usne isme.", Sanjiv ne file Radhika se le kar ek taraf rakh di thi. Wo takiye se tek lagaye us kaagaj ko khulte hue dekhne laga.
"Hahaha.. Ye tum ho Sanjiv?", Shwet-shyaam tasvir thi wo jisme chota bacha paani ki pipe liye hansta hua kisi par paani daal raha tha. Wo nanga tha beparwah sa. Sanjiv ye dekhte he us photo ki taraf jhapta lekin Radhika ne hath peeche hata liya. Us lifafe se 4-5 aur tasvire nikal kar bister par gir gayi. Sanjiv bhi unhe dekhne laga pehle wali ko bhula kar.
"Ye sab Arjun ne kaha se jama ki? Maa ke paas bhi nahi thi ye toh! Ye main hu aur meri goad me jo bacha hai wo Arjun. Daadi ke sath main mandir gaya tha aur ye Renuka bua hai. Kaisi dikhti thi bua bhi us time.. Hahaha.. Mundan hua tha tab Arjun ka.", Radhika bhi khushi se dekh rahi thi wo photo.
"Ye bache ka hath jo tumhari kameej khinch raha hai?"
"Ye Ritu hai jo apna aalu wapis maang rahi thi. Gusse me nakhoon tak maar deti thi agar koyi bhi Arjun ko us se lene ki koshish karta. Aaru bulati thi lekin saaf nahi bol paane ke wajah se bas aalu aalu karte rehna isne. Par iska chehra nahi hai isme. Fatt gayi na idhar se shayad sambhal kar nahi rakhi hogi ye.", Sanjiv hath fira kar jaise mehsoos karna chah raha tha us samay ko.
"Yaha tum school ki vardi me kisi sipahi jaise khade ho. Photo khinchwate hue tum sehaj nahi dikhte. Arjun ke sath toh bilkul badal jaate ho mister."
"Wo sabko badal he deta hai. Tum bhi nahi bachne wali. 8th me convent me dakhil hua tha main aur ye pichle ghar ki photo hai. Subah dikha ke launga tumhe. Ye wali jab naya scooter liya tha dada ji ne mere liye. Arjun isko he sabse jyada chalata hai. Matlab jab main hota hu uske sath toh ispe he ghoomte hai. Bada patla tha yaar main toh us waqt."
"Aaj bhi pehalwan nahi ho bas sahi jagah se thode thik dikhne lage ho. Ye tasvire bahot khaas hai kyonki inka tumhe pata nahi aur Arjun ne jaise inhe khojne ke baad sambhal kar rakha. Yaha wo bhi atcha dikh raha hai aur sabhi purush hai is photo me daadi ji aas-pas."
"Pichli diwali ki photo hai ye. Bahot time baad is din sab ek sath the. 8 diwali is ghar me Arjun ke bina rahi hai jinme roshni toh thi lekin koyi jyada khushi nahi. Ab ek din is ghar me uske bina ajeeb lagta hai.", Sanjiv seedha let gaya tha bina baaki tasvire dekhe aur Radhika ne bhi sabhi photo samet kar wo lifafa mej par rakh diya. Gatte wala dibba khol kar dekha toh usme saree ka poora set tha. Georgette ki ek behtareen saree jo samandar ke rang si thi bina atirikt saaj-sajja ke. Sunehari blouse jaisa saree ka border tha aur mel khaate kaan ke boonde, chaandi ki payal aur ekrangi choodiyan.
"Sanjiv.. utho toh sahi.. Ye dekho jara kitni pyaari saree hai. Ye Ritu ne pasand ki hogi ya fir chachi ne? Dekho toh sabkuch sath hai iske.", Sanjiv ko hila hila kar Radhika ne utha he liya. Ab wo chaukas ho kar baitha hans raha tha.
"Jaanta hu ye behtareen hai aur wo apni bhabhi ke liye khud leke aaya tha. Har cheej sirf aur sirf Arjun ne kharidi hai wo bhi Punjab wale shehar se. Waha se lautne par he usne isko meri is almari me rakh diya tha tala laga kar. Isko wapis rakh dena band karke Radhika. Jab pehno toh Arjun hona chahiye saamne. Wo apni bhabhi se us waqt se he pyaar karne laga hai jabse meri shaadi ka mahurat nikla tha. Wo jata bhi nahi ekdum se lekin ab tumne mujhe utha he diya hai toh main ek sach aur bata deta hu mere bhai ka.", Radhika uttejit thi jaan ne ke liye wo wajah aur Arjun ka alag sach.
"Thik hai main fir tabhi pehnungi ye lekin Arjun ka sach? Wo toh sabse chota member hai ghar ka jitna saamne hai aur laadla bhi. Dhyaan bhi rakhta hai sabka toh aisa hona jaruri bhi hai. Itni si umar me aur kya sach hoga?"
"Nikki ne tumhe kuch bataya?"
"Ummm.. Leave that. Ye sab baatein hum nahi kar sakte. Unka maamla hai Sanjiv aur thoda ajeeb bhi baat karna is par."
"okay okay. Matlab wo bacha nahi hai jo tum chota samajh rahi ho. Sawa saal pehle toh ghar bhi ghar nahi lagta tha. Arjun ne apne pyaar aur ek ek insaan par mehnat karke isko fir se waisa he abaad kar diya jaisa uske bachpan me usne dekha tha. Wo duniya ki samajh kahi jyada rakhta hai lekin bhavuk hai pariwar ke maamle me. Tumhe dhyaan hai kuch time pehle jab main ek mission se jakhmi ho kar bed pe tha hospital me."
"Haan aur main milne bhi toh aayi thi."
"Us din mujhe jiwan dene wala insaan mera Arjun he tha Radhika. Ardhangini ho aur uski eklauti bhabhi bhi toh tumhe pata hona chahiye kyonki wo sammaan ka bhi haqdar hai. Jo waha pehalwan sa aaya tha Bijender bhai. Uska poora pariwar 2 peedhi se pehle se sath juda hai lekin kuch dushmani ho gayi thi jo 24-25 varsh rahi aur samjhauta hone ki jagah pariwar par khatra din ba din badhta gaya. Ek waqt wo bhi aaya ki Menaka ka apharan karke Arjun ko uske sath he maarne ki koshish ki gayi jisme peshewar kaatilo ki toli shamil thi. Arjun ne apna khoon baha kar bhi unki jaan nahi li. Usne Sushila bua ko wapis is ghar ki beti banaya, dono haweliya wapis pariwar se jodi. Main usko bachane waha gaya tha lekin usne mujhe kharoch pahuchane walo ki aisi duragati ki thi ki jism ki haddi salamat nahi bachi. Wheelchair wala wo rakshsash jaisa vyakti, wo bhi Arjun ke hathe chadha tha jab usne Preeti ke sath abhadrata karne ki koshish ki. Main badha chadha kar kuch nahi bata raha aur tumne toh meri haalat khud dekhi thi. Report bhi padhi thi na kitne log maare gaye the.?"
"Matlab uske hath?"
"Saaf hai kyonki wo jaan lene me yakeen nahi rakhta Radhika aur tum kanoon hata kar wo samjho jo main keh raha hu. Tumse bade kanoon ke rakhwale hamare dada ji tak us samay ke baad se Arjun se vichar vimarsh kar lete hai, najre bacha kar. Log kehte hai ki baagh ekaki jiwan bitata hai parantu sach ye hai ki wo jungle ko bachaye rakhne me itna vyast rehta hai ki pariwar me har samay maujood nahi reh sakta. Ab sabhi ghar hai toh wo bahar koyi gul khilane gaya hoga."
"Aur tum kaise bade bhai ho jo ye jaante hue bhi itne nischint baithe ho?"
"Minute se pehle he palat gayi tum toh? Ghabrao matt waha bhi chalenge wapis aane ke baad. Poora gaanv he apna hai udhar toh wo safe hai. Bas pehli baar gaya hai na udhar toh khul ke maje lega. Koyi na koyi sherni mil he jaani usko waha bhi Nikki jaisi.",Sanjiv ne lapak kar Radhika ko giraft me bhar liya tha.
"Ouch.. chhii.. gande kahi ke. Ek taraf toh usko itna samajhdar batate ho aur fir wo ye sab bhi karta hai... Bahot gande ho tum dono bhai.."
"Arre darling main toh sirf tumhara hu aur wo ganda nahi hai samaaj-sewi hai. Dukhi logo ko pyaar se khush karne wala... Nikki se pooch lena jis din wo milegi Arjun se uske agle din. Abhi hum honeymoon ki practice karte hai. Aaj sher-sherni wala style.", Sanjiv masti kar raha tha kyonki uska aisa kuch karne ka irada nahi tha.
"Rehne do Sanjiv.. please main thaki hui hu aur tum bahot gande ho. Janwaro wale style matlab kuch bhi.?"
"Umaahhh. pagal kahi ki sher 20 ghante sote hai lekin joda sath ho toh aadha time. Bas aise he mere si lipat kar raho. Aur main majaak kar raha tha tumhare devar ke baare me wo pyaar wali baat. Lekin baagh wali sach thi. Umaaah..",Gehra chumban dhima bhi utna he tha aur kuch der aise he upari pyaar ke baad dono ek dusre se lipat kar so chuke the. Neend me jaane se pehle tak Radhika ke mann me ab kauthul uth chuka tha is vyakti ko jaan ne ka jo uske pati ka bhai aur ab iska devar tha. Aakhir ye ladka hai kya jo us se bhi ek saal badi Nikki tak ke dil ko churaye befikar ghoom raha hai. Aur itne bade bade kaand karne wala lagta toh shakal se sharif hai. Par uske pati ne khud kaha ki naya jiwan bhi Arjun ka diya hua hai toh ehsaan toh wo bhi apne dil me maan baithi thi Arjun ka. Jungle ka shaant baagh jiska asli charitra aur swabhaav koyi nahi jaan paya par prashansha dushman bhi karte hai.

Panchiyon ka madhur kalrav jaisi prakriti se ghire is kasbenuma bade gaanv me kuch jaldi shuru ho jata tha. Raat ke andhkaar me toh Arjun is chhat ko sahi se dekh na sakta tha lekin aankhun khulte he sabse pehle halka roshan hota wo aasman aur saamne kuch he duri par chhat par vichran karte kuch mor-morniya. Ye chhat toh itni badi thi ki aniginat log pasar sakte the. Jitni imarat niche bani thi utni he badi aur waise he 'U' akaar me samtal ek saar si saaf suthri. Kahi toto (Parrots) ki taaye-taaye toh koyal ki koo koo is subah ko aur khoobsurat banati lagi. Arjun ko angdaai ke sath apni taraf dekhte pa kar wo mor-morni ka joda kuch dur chal diya.
'Shayad jyada he so liya aaj. Waise bhi raat der ho he gayi thi sone me.', Ghadi ka button daba kar samay dekha toh abhi 4:45 he hue the. Arjun bister samet kar niche wali dusri manzil ki aur ho liya. Idhar bhi ek bathroom tha jo waise he galiyare se hota thik nichle wale ke upar bana tha. Nityakram ke sath sath nahane ke baad Arjun unhi dhile kapdo me aangan tak chala aaya. Yaha bhi naam-matra halchal thi 5 bajne ke baad bhi. Krishneshwar ji haudi ke kareeb baithe datun karne ke baad nahane me lage the aur tabele ki aur unka sewak pashuo ka chara banane me vyast tha.
"ram ram dada ji. Aap toh jaise tayaar bhi ho gaye ho.", Arjun wahi charpaayi par baith apne baal sukhane laga tha aur Krishneshwar ji muskurate hue uski ram-ram ka jawaab dene ke baad mal mal kar sharir ragadne lage. Is umar me bhi unka jism majboot tha bhale he sar pe safed aur kamar ke kareeb thoda charbi aa chuki thi.
"Tum bhi tyaar ho jao beta, bahu ne kapde tumhare bister par rakh diye hai. Bade bhaiya ka telephone aaya tha bas abhi 10 minute pehle toh unka farmaan hai tumhe chaupal par le jaya jaaye. Socha toh maine bhi tha aisa lekin unki anumati bina main aisa karne se raha beta. Sabhi bade bujurgo aur jaruri vyaktiyon se tumhari mulakaat ka bahot mehtva hai beta. Phir kal tumhe shehar bhi jana hoga, raani ji se milne. Hafte ke 6 din toh wo vyast rehti hai lekin somwar ko mehal me. Ab unka bulawa hai toh jaahir si baat hai ki paalan toh karna he hoga. Lekin waha main tumhare sath nahi ja sakta isliye tumhe driver ke sath akele he jana hoga.", Arjun ka toh itni subah he mastishk chakra gaya tha ye sab sunn kar. Aisa uske dada ji ne karne ke liye kaha bhi toh seedha usko nahi kaha aur ye mehal wali mulakaat toh wo apne boote karna chahat tha bina kisi ko bataye.
"Thik hai dada ji jaisa aap keh rahe hai waisa he hoga. Toh kab jana hai chaupaal par?"
"Main toh naha liya beta aur jitna samay mujhe kapde pehan ne me lagega utna tum laga lo. Phir shish nawana ho toh thik nahi toh mandir udhar bhi hai.", Ye alag dharamsankat me daal rahe the Krishneshwar ji usko.
"Main mandir nahi jata dada ji aur isliye kshama chahta hu aapka sunn kar bura laga ho toh. Kapde pehan kar main aata hu.", Arjun mudne ke baad Devaki ko pranaam karta hua 3 kamre laangh apni jagah aa pahucha. Dil toh kar raha tha ki wo apne dada ko phone mila kar is sabki jaankari le, lekin aisa karne se chote dada ki avmaan-na karna bhi katai thik na tha. Udhedbunn me usne darwaja dhaal kar he istree karke bister par rakha hua safed kurta pajama pehna aur baalo me halka teil paani laga kar unhe sahi se vyavasthit kiya. Abhi wo aaine me khud ko dekh he raha tha ki bhitar Anamika chachi chali aayi. Khoobsurat subah ki tarah he unki muskaan thi jo halki si hone par bhi seedha hridya tak utarti jaati. Laal saree aur sar ko dhake hue wo Arjun ke sameep aayi toh usne dekha ki chachi ke hatho me lohe ka chota baksa tha.
"Ye pita ji ne bhijwaye hai. Bola hai khaas hai aur poore aaye toh pehan lo.", Arjun unhe good morning bolne ke sath us bakse ko khol kar dekhne laga ki aisa kya khaas hai isme. Bhoore chamde ki wo jooti sachmuch khaas he thi. Andar ka chamda aajtak naram aur bahar khaas karigari. Nok ko upari bhaag par sil ka sath joda hua tha jaise kisi shahi vyakti ki mojri ho. Unka akaar bhi joote ke hisab se 11-12 raha hoga.
"Ye sachmuch khaas hai chachi aur aap jaanti hai ye kinki hai?"
"Mujhe kya pata Arjun lekin khasiyat toh insaan me hoti hai na fir aisi vastuye?"
"Ye bade pandit ji ki jooti hai chachi. Dada ji ke pita ji ki jooti jo aaj bhi aisi hai ki jaise inhe kabhi pehna he na gaya ho. Bas ye nishaan batate hai ki inka koyi maalik reh chuka hai. Dekhte hai ki aayengi bhi ya nahi.", Arjun savdhani se bister kinare baith ek jooti ko pehan ne ki koshish karne laga toh shuru me uska paanv thoda fansa lekin chachi ne apni ungli bhitar ki taraf thoda ghuma kar usko fir paanv daalne ko kaha toh wo poori tarah sahi baithi uske panje par. Jaise wo thi he Arjun ke maap ki. Jhukne ki wajah se halka sa aanchal un dugdh kalso se sarak gaya tha jo najre milne par Anamika ko deri se pata chala.
"Dusri wali khud he pehan lena ab. Main doodh tyaar karti hu tumhara.", Chehre par sharmindgi ki jagah sulabh muskaan thi unke kuch halki laali ke sath.
"Dusri wali pehan ne me pareshani hui toh chachi?", Arjun bhi sab jaan kar masti kar raha tha. Lekin wo turant laut aayi.
"Atcha main he pehna deti hu."
"Paanv ke hath matt lagao aise chachi. Aap badi ho aur pehle mujhe samjhane ke liye aapne waisa kiya tha. Bas najre meri tikti nahi."
"Koyi baat nahi Arjun. Paanv ke hath lagane ka bhi adhikar hai jis rishtey se hum dono bandhe hai usme. Aur ulte paanv me toh pareshani aani he thi.", Is baar thodi mashakkat yakinan hui Anamika ko kyonki ulta paanv utna lachila nahi tha aur jooti saheje rakhne ki wajah se thodi kadak ho gayi thi. Aakhir wo kamyab ho kar uthi toh Arjun ne najre jhukaye hue he kaha.
"Dhanyawaad chachi aur aasha karta hu ki lautne ke baad aapse main kuch pal akele me baat kar sakunga.?"
"Raat tum mere kamre me so jana jaise tumhare yaha sote the. Ye toh honge nahi.", Sachmuch samajik gyaan thoda kam tha unka aur dil ki bholi wo thi bhi chahe padhi likhi stree thi.
"Aap jaanti hai main kis baare me baat karna chahta hu? Wo baat aapko poori raat satati rahi hogi aur shayad abhi bhi aapka mann kuch vichlit hai jo mujhe tayar karane ke bawjood khud ulta blouse pehne ho aur sirf ek paanv me payal hai aapke.", Arjun itna bol kar kamre se bahar chala gaya Anamika ko is masti se pareshan aur thoda uljha kar.
'Baatein raat me he ho toh behtar hai Arjun. Din ke ujaalo me toh sabhi gore hai yaha. Unke dil ka kalapan bas raat me dikhta hai jo tumne pehle he din dekh liya. Tumhe bachane ke liye maryada se bahar bhi hona pada toh taklif sehne ko tayar hu.', Wo 2 aankhen Anamika ki he thi jinhone ek ghinona sach khud dekha tha 2 aur logo ke sath jisme se ek usko pehchan gaya tha. Arjun ke jaane ka bhaan hote he wo bhi tej kadmo se bahar aangan me hoti hui rasoighar me chali gayi uske liye doodh tayaar karne. Arjun sewak ko wo ajeeb si jeep saaf karte dekh raha tha. Jeep ka shisha lohe ke frame se ghira hua seedha khada na ho kar bonutt par lita tha. Tyre kuch alag aur akaar thoda chota tha commandar jeep se.
"Ab ye kya bala hai dada ji? Ghar me ye bhi maujood thi aur dekh ke toh lagta hai ki jaise ye model bahot purana ho par saaf bhi bahot hai.", Arjun ghoom ghoom kar usko sab taraf se dekh ya kaho jaanch raha tha. Saamne sirf 2 he seat thi jo shayad naye jamane ke hisaab se tyaar karwa kar lagwai gayi thi. Peeche bhi 2 he logo ki jagah thi baithne ki aur koyi chhat na thi siwaye aage peeche ki seato ke beech lage us golakar pipe ke.
"Billi (Willys) hai beta ye aur ye hamesha se he is ghar ki sadasya hai jis din pita ji ye le kar aaye the yaha. Tab kuch aur dikhti thi lekin bade bhaiya ne is par jaisa kaam kaha waisa karwa kar isko thoda behtar banaya gaya. Chalu karke pichle hisse se idhar tak aur idhar se wapis iski jagah chalane tak main isko kahi nahi leke gaya. Bhaiya aate hai toh jarur khet tak jaati hai ye saal me 2 bar. Pita ji ko thoda jyada lagaav tha is se lekin khud chalane ki jagah wo apne sath Lichman kaka ko rakhte the. Bhaiya kehte hai ki jitni jaruri ye haweli hai utni he ye billi. Chalti hai na maidaan wali taraf kache me toh billi ki tarah uchalti hai isliye main isko yahi kehta hu aur ab toh bhaiya bhi. Haan bahu, doodh pila toh apne bhatije ko aur main isko fir sath le ja raha hu. Aadhe paune ghante tak laut aayenge. Khana tayaar rakhna fir main khet niklunga. Kaam chal raha hai udhar bhi.", Anamika ne apne sasur ko chai aur Arjun ko doodh parosne ke baad bas 'ji' keh kar jawaab diya aur apne kaam me lag gayi. Damini, Vinod,Aanchal aur PP Sharma abhi tak bister par the, gehri neend me. Jabki Niketan ko paani bhare tasle me baitha kar uski daadi nehlane ke sath sath us se apni he alag bhasha me baatein karti hans rahi thi.
"Toh aaj isko hum leke jaane wale hai?", Arjun ne samay par doodh khatam karke kulla kiya aur Krishneshwar ji se charcha punah prarambhi ki.
"Tum he chalaoge beta isko. Jab jooti tumhare pas hai toh is par bhi adhikar tumhara. Main toh sanrakshak maatra hu wo bhi bhaiya ki gair-maujdgi me.", Chabi unhone Arjun ke hawale karne ke baad angocha gale me pehna aur agli seat par Arjun ki bagal me ja baithe. Ab unke hath me bhi ek alag laathi thi jis ke kinaro par swarnim taaro se nishaan bane the. Arjun feeki muskaan se ye baat dekh kar najar-andaaj karta hua jeep ka majboot gear daal chal nikla chaupal par.
'Satyanaash ho iska.. Ek din hua nahi aur sab hadapna shurr. Kar lo maje 2-3 din, fir bhugatna bhi padega.'
'Dekh liya kar mooh kholne se pehle nahi toh agli baar jubaan kaat dungi. Pehle waha tu gudd-gobar kar aayi aur ab ye jaan le ki isko fansna asaan nahi. Chir-faad dega jitna pata kiya hai maine aur waise he dikhne tere dada jaisa hai, poora baagh. Gherne se kaabu aayega.'
यूँ तो सब कुछ बेहतरीन रहा किन्तु अंतिम पंक्तियाँ ख़तरनाक पर दिलचस्प रहीं....
