Update 115
Mukaam - Haansil/Pryaas (1)
Chandro Tai ke ghar jaruri kaam shuru karwa kar aur bharose ke aadmi lagwane ke baad Shankar ji apni duty par nikal liye. Umed Singh bhi apne dost ke jaane ke baad kuch der 2-3 kaam karwane ke baad apni manzil par badh chala. Shankar ji ka din atcha he shuru hua tha aur aaj Lata ne bina nakhre he unki chai samay par pila di thi. Bijender bhi idhar aa gaya tha kyonki dusri haveli par Vikas ne kaam apne jimme le lia tha, Akshara uski mausi ki beti jo thi. Aaj Shankar ji lagbhag 2 hafte ke baad kaam par laute the.
"Kaha gayab hai be tu? Waise aaj toh subah subah chamak raha mere chaand.", Chota Sangwan bhi apne dost ko dekhte he chehak utha. Shankar ke bina toh shayad he koi din gujarta tha uska. Abhi round shuru he karne laga tha ke saamne se apne mitra ko dekh hath pakad ke round par he ho lia.
"Ghar pe kaam bhi hai chal rahe hai yaar. Raat Umed ke sath tha aur savere Devi ke mandir me pooja karne ke baad Taai ki haveli bhi kaam shuru karwaya. Bijender aur Babita ki shaadi hai 5 din baad. Waise tu toh kal nahi aaya hoga?", Shankar ji ne apne dost ke hath se patient file li aur dekhne lage. Dono ko ab tak koi 7-8 nurse/doctor good morning bula chuke the.
"Yaar halat he buri ho gayi thi. Saali Russian ne 3-4 cigrettee pila di thi subah tak aur uske baad aankh shaam ko 4 baje khuli. Baap ne gaand todi woh alag, suna suna ke. Aainda ye bakchodi nahi karne wale bhai.", Sangwan ke lehje me sachmuch chinta thi.
"Mere baare me kya kaha unhone?", Shankar ji ko bhi asar toh hua he tha us cigratte ka sath he unhe chinta bhi thi ki kahi bade Sangwan ji unhe hajir he na kar le.
"Tu toh aaya he nahi tha yar mere. Rameshwar tauji se 7-8 baje baat hui thi unki kal aur tu Umed ke sath tha nashte par. Bole ke us se seekh, woh daaru bhi peeta hai lekin apna din kharaab nahi karta. Behanchod sach me Shankar tu pakka kamina hai. Chal idhar ye tere matlab ka patient hai.", Dono he is kamre me chale gaye aur mareej ko check karne ke baad fir se baaton me lag gaye.
"Tu Annie bhabhi aur Marina bitiya ko kab laane ki soch raha hai? Chacha (B Sangwan) keh rahe the ke kanooni prakriya poori ho gayi hai. Kam se kam behanchod tera he tharakpana toh khatam hoga.", Shankar ji ne is baat ka jikar kia toh Sangwan dusri taraf ki seedhiyon se niche utarata SMO-P Sangwan ki name plate lage cabin me ghus gaya.
"Itna asaan na hai baawle bhai. Anni ki shart hai ke main aadhi property ka waris Marina ko banau."
"Chacha nahi maan rahe kya?", Shankar ji ne paani ki ghoont lene ke baad table par rakhi photo ko nihara. Chota Sangwan jaha bhi jata tha badli hone ke baad, apne office me ye photo sabse pehle rakhta tha. Uski beti Marina K Sangwan.
"Baapu toh apne aap me paheli hai. Bole tha ke abhi tak property ka bantwara he kab kia hai. Lekin fer bolya ke ek farmhouse, gaanv wala ghar, idhar wali koti aur 10 kille jo mere naam hai woh Anni ko dikha ke uski marji se chahe aadha ya fir poora he naam kar de Marina ke. Lekin is se sab badlega kya yar Shankar?", Sangwan ne bhi us photo ko utha lia. Photo shayad thodi purani thi jisme ye 15-16 saal ki charhari patli si ladki muskura rahi thi. Kandhe se thoda niche tak ke sunehre baal, hari aankhen aur safed-gulabi rang.
"Aaj bhai ki tarah kehta hai Param. Teri he galti thi jo Annie ko dur jana pada aur uske baad tune uske baap ko kitna kuch kaha tha. Chacha ne us din farm par tere jikar karte he waha baat kar li thi, maafi ke sath. Pata hai mansikta rakhni hai khaap anpadh wali aur tashan dikhane hai Englishman wale. Kis baat ka ehankaar hai bhai jara ye bata tu, engilish me Ego kehne se samajh aa jaye shayad tujhe. Duniya biwi-beti ke liye jaan par khel jaati hai aur tu akad me kitna kuch kar gaya aur fir maafi maangne ki jagah jugaad laga ke laane ki baatein kar raha tha. Band karke rakhega kya yaha haveli me?", Shankar ka ekaek alag lehja dekh kar Sangwan ki najre jhuk gayi.
"Ho jaya kare yaar galti jaat se. Khaa-pee ke toh jyada samasya ho jaya kare hai. Lekin ghar me waise kapde thik baat toh na thi, mehmaan ke saamne."
"Russia se hai woh, UP se nahi ke idhar ki garmi ka asar na ho. Kya burai thi kapdo me? Logo ko toh trophy ki tarah tu he dikhata tha na ke meri biwi Russia se hai, mere jitne lambi falana dhimka. Samajh toh tujhe abhi bhi poori nahi aayi mere dost. Beshak ab galti ka ehsaas hota hai lekin Annie ne tere sath shaadi ke baad tera naam apne sath jod lia aur saboot hai Marina ka poora naam jo aaj bhi Sangwan likhti hai. Bhaade ki randiyon pe gussa ya pyaar jatane se atcha hai Samara (Russia ka ek shehar) ja aur biwi-beti ko le aa. Jaat ki tarah nahi ek baap aur pati ki tarah jaa. Sasur bhi tera atcha aur sharif aadmi hai, maafi maang liyo.", Shankar ji ne apne dost ka hath pakad kar samjhate hue himmat di.
"Tu sahi keh raha hai yaar. Main na usko jayedaad jaisa samajh raha tha. Annie pehli baar jab dekhi thi toh bikini me he thi, apne desh se bahar. Yaha toh woh sardiyon me salwar kameej pehan ke rakthi thi. Garmi me bhi gaanv wale ghar me agar jaati toh poore kapde, beshak paseene me behal ho jaati thi. Bhai Marina toh hindi bhi bolne lagi thi Shankar. Papa se baat kar na yar.", Sangwan sachmuch he kamjor sa ho gaya tha itni he der me. Shankar ne bhi ek hath thaame dusre se Bade Sangwan ji ka number mila diya. Koi 4-5 ghanti ke baad he awaaj sunai di.
"Chacha, Shankar bol raha hu."
"Haan beta, hukum."
"Param ki ticket karwa do Moscow ki, biwi beti leke aa raha hai ye."
"Jayedaad maang rahi hai Annie aur ikraar-nama bhi ke agar fir se physical abuse ya jhagda kia toh woh fir case bhi kar degi aur talaak bhi le legi. Bata do jara apne jigagi ko."
"Baapu, sab manjoor hai. Mera toh sabkuch he Marina hai fer aadhi ke aur poori ke. Bas aap phone kar do unke ghar ke main aaj he nikal raha hu lene. Ab na neend aati Gulati ke farm par.", Sangwan toh baap se kehte kehte rone he lag pada. Apne bete ke aansu jaise Bade Sangwan ko bhi ehsaas karwa gaye ke is baar sachmuch Paramvir Sangwan ek baap-pati bol raha hai.
"Kal savere likad jaiye, main parbandh karu hu. Dopahri tak Shankar dhore rahiye, main aaunga teri maa ke sath. Annie tayaar hai bas phone tu kar le, pauti bhi kehve thi 'where's my dad? why he never speak to us?', phone Shankar ne de nakli jaat. Susra tesu bahaan laag reha tadke tadke.", Meethi jhaad maarne ke baad kuch der unhone Shankar ko samjhaya aur alag baat ki.
"Sunn lia, chacha ne bhi keh dia ke tu nakli hai. Chal chhod ye sab aur mood thik kar. Itne saal baad sasural jaa raha hai khali haath jayega? Waise bhi waha tameej aur ijjatt ke sath uphar bhi maayne rakhta hai.", Shankar ne apne dost ko thoda thik thak kia aur 2 chai mangwa li. Kuch der apne dost se baatein karne ke baad woh apne cabin me chale gaye. Yaha bhi unke pas kuch mareej intjaar kar rahe the aur line kuch lambi he thi.

Hostel ke kamra number 109 me ek baar fir mahol garam aur maadak ho chala tha. Bua ko saamne se 2 baar santusht karne ke baad Arjun ab un bade kulho ke gehri darar ko failaye lachile guda-dwaar me poora lund fansa kar chipka hua tha. Is chhed ke liye Madhu purse me he lotion leke aai thi. Unhe bhi maloom tha ke beshak piche bhi unhone karwaya hai lekin Arjun ka hathiyaar us choot se jyada tang challe me araam se nahi jaane wala tha. Jadd tak lund andar lene me he unke pasine nikal aaye the aur ab Arjun unka chehra ghumaye hontho ko choosta hua bas motte chucho ko masal raha tha.
"Tujhe itna pasand hai mere piche karna?"
"Baat karne ki nahi hai bua. Ye bade aakarshak hai aur bahot he khaas. Aise he aapko boobs bhi hai. Aapke hips ko bina kapdo ke dekhte he bas dil karta hai ke inhe pyaar karu. Naram aur kitne lachile hai ye, ekdum chikne.", Arjun upari kulhe ko masalte hue woh garmi bhi mehsoos kar raha tha jaha lund andar fansa tha. Bua bhi us motte dande ko andar fadakta dekh Arjun ki baahon me machalne lagi thi. Unki halat dekh Arjun ne araam se kamar piche karte hue thoda bahar nikal aur fir se andar kar dia.
"Aahhh.. ye pehle aise na the.. aahhh. Healthy toh main shuru se he thi lekin Tara aur Himanshu ke hone ke baad ye bade hone lage. Ummm.. dhire dhire kar Arjun, itna bhi asaan nahi aahhh.. Fir mujhe bhi ehsaas hua ke upar aur niche se main alag dikhne lagi hu. Bacho ke hone ke baad pati pyaar karna kam na kar de isliye ummm.. maine inka khayaal kia.. aahhh.. aise he kar bada atcha lagta hai re ummm.. Teri najro me jab mere liye itni chahat dekhti hu na toh lagta hai bas tere liye he shayad inhe itna sambhala maine.", Bua masti me sisakti hui apne piche Arjun ke gehre dhakko ka maja lene lagi. Dhakko ke sath he Arjun ka unke naram kulho ka maans dabana bata raha tha ke Arjun kitna aakarshit tha unke is hisse se.
"Koi keh nahi sakta bua.. aahh.. aap 2 bacho ki maa ho.. abhi tak ye kitne sakth hai.", Nichle hath se unka ek ludhka ubhar pakde woh phule hue nipple ko sehla raha tha. Gori gardan par honth firata Arjun bhi gaand ki kasawat se nihaal ho raha tha. Pichle dedh ghante me usne Bua ka poora sharir nikharte hue apni chaap jagah jagah bana di thi. Idhar gulabi gaand ke challe me fans kar andar bahar hote us motte lund ne toh chedd adhiktam chuada dia tha. Lund bahar aate hue gulabi hissa bhi satha le aata.
"Aahhhhh.. tera insaan wala nahi hai na.. maaa.. dhire kar poora nikal kar kyo daal deta hai? ummmm.. Sharir aisa na ho toh tujhe koi jawaan ladki toh kya aurat bhi jhel nahi sakti.. Jaane kaise Renuka ne aahhhh.. himmat juta di.", Arjun ne piche se he upar wali chikni jaangh uthate hue bua ki kas ke chudai shuru kar di. Ab dhakko se bister bhi hilne laga tha. Chuttad aur ubhar kar paani ke gubbare se hilne lage.
"Renuka bhi pyaar karti hai na bua. Aahhh.. aur unke sath main poori koshish karta hu ke dard na du. Aap strong ho aur body bhi bhari hui hai. Umm..", Bua ke laar se bhige hontho ko choosta hua woh nirantar guda-dwar ko dheela kar raha tha. Madhu bua toh is chhed me chudaai se bhi charam par aane lagi thi.
"Ummmm.. pata hai mujhe.. aahh.. lekin ab thoda josh se kia kar uske sath, savdhani toh rakhta he hai.. Maa bann ne ke baad fir tujhe batayegi dekhna.. aahhh.. main gayi Arjun..", Bua jhadne lagi toh Arjun ne seene ke bal litate hue ab puri raftar se dono bade golo ke beech dhakke lagane shuru kar diye. Masti ki cheekhen tej ho gayi thi. Ek baar woh sakhalit ho chuka tha isliye abhi tak tika tha.
"Maar dia re kamine..aahh.. ghar jaane layak chhod dio.. maaaahhhh.. aahhh.. aur tej kar ..aahhh.. andar he bhar de aahhh..", Arjun ke lund ki bhayankar motai hote he bua bhi chaadar kass ke pakadti nidhaal ho gayi. Gaadn ki gehraai me woh motti veerya dhara atche se sikaai karti hui alag he sukh de rahi thi. Lund andar he fansaye Arjun unke upar pasar gaya. Gardan ko pyaar se choomta hua woh bua ke sharir ko sehla raha tha.
"Bua aapke sath karne me itna alag aur jyada maja kyu aata hai?", Arjun bua ke bikhre baalo ko ek taraf karte hue unke gaal choomne lage. Niche dabi Madhu ke chehre par ye alag he muskaan aa gayi thi Arjun ki baat sunn kar.
"Kitno ke sath kar chuka hai aur kiske sath maja nahi aaya?", Arjun is sawaal se jhemp gaya lekin waise he unke gaal ko mooh me bhar kar choomne ke baad lund bahar nikal kar darar me dabate hue bolne laga.
"Aapke aur Renuka bua ke sath.", Arjun naam nahi lena chahta tha aur Madhu bua bhi usko sharminda nahi karna chahti thi Lalita ji ka naam le kar.
"Renuka tujhe pati ki tarah dekhti hai aur main premi ki tarah. Yahi toh farak hota hai dono me. Woh chaah kar bhi khul nahi sakti aur main toh tere saamne kapde kholne me parwah bhi nahi karti. Bas yahi wajah hai aur jab tum dono khul kar baatein karoge ya ghumoge firoge toh woh bhi jald saath dene lagegi. Lekin tu na jyada he experience hai. Jaise peeche karta hai toh koi bhi keh dega ye, Renuka toh waha se kori hai.", Bua bhi araam se uske wajan ko jhel rahi thi. Unhe atcha lag raha tha uske niche aise dabna.
"Knowledge ho jaati hai bua aur main dhyaan dunga Renuka par bhi. Woh sachmuch kuch nahi maangti ya kabhi saamne se khwahish bhi nahi batati."
"Chal ab main naha kar tyaar ho jau fir iska bhi hal karte hai. Renuka ke liye main he gift leti hu, nighty toh woh sirf tere sath andhere me pehanti hai. Is baar jara usko thoda fashion bhi sikha du, jaane se pehle. Baaki tum meri behan ka aise he dhyaan rakhna. Dil se judi hui hai woh tumse.", Bua ke nahane wali baat se Arjun ek taraf karwat le kar leit gaya. Gaadha safed ras un gadraye kulho ki gehri darar se nikalta chikne patt tak aa raha tha. Nangi he woh apne kulhe hilati hui bathroom chali gayi. Abhi chaal me jo badlaav aaya tha woh dekh Arjun muskurane laga. Bua jitni bhi himmati thi lekin hathiyar aisa ho toh chaal badalna swabhavik he hai. Agle 20-25 minute me he dono shehar ki taraf chal diye the, kamra band karke.

UP-Haryana ki sarhad par lagta ye shehar lakdi ka ek bada bajaar tha aur yaha kayi vyapariyo ke peeche pramukh tha MLA Tomar. Kehne ko ek kaddavar neta tha ye 52 varshiya vyakti lekin pichle 30 saalo me isne bahot mehnat se aas-pas ke ilaake me majboot chhavi bana li thi. 4 bade plywood ke kaarkhane the iske aur sath he jameen ke saude karne-karwane me ye avval vyakti tha. Beshak vyapaar me aur bhi logo ka hissa tha lekin Tomar ke MLA bann ne ke baad wahi pramukh tha. Bade bade builder jameen kharidi ke liye Tomar se he sampark karte the kyonki chote-mote vyapariyo se woh sirf chunav ke waqt ya apni marji se milta tha. Vyapari hone ke sath sath raajnaitik vyakti tha toh iske bhi 2 shauk the, sharaab aur shabab.
Aaj iske PA ne bataya tha ke ek bada vyapari unke sath mulakaat karna chahta hai, kaam karwane ke badle aadha hissa dene ko tayaar. Tomar ka bhi toh yahi kaam tha. Vyapari se milne ke liye 12 baje ka samay nirdharit kia gaya. Agar sab sahi raha toh dopahar ka bhojan sath me nahi toh apne aadmiyo se us jaruri kaam ki jaankari leni thi jo 5 din pehle saunpa tha. In janaab ki ek mashooka thi jo filhal gayab ho gayi thi lekin jaha ye ghatna hui waha woh khud hath nahi dalna chahte the. Apne neeji aalishan me office me thik 12 baje pahuche toh inki videshi toyota ke barabar he ye us chandi rang ki E-class aa ruki. Sadhe 6 feet ke driver ne pichla darwaja khol kar apne maalik ko bahar nikalne ki suvidha di toh Tomar kabhi is pehalwan se driver toh kabhi is chamakdar safari suit aur sone ki ghadi pehne raees aadmi ko dekhne laga.
Woh bhi ek raees tha isliye filhal najarandaaj karta imarat ke andar badh gaya. Uske sath he woh chust sarkari driver jisne ab kandhe par rifle le li thi. Idhar ye dono anuyaai sadhe kadmo se chalte hue andar aaye toh bade bagiche ke beech bani is ek manjila imarat me pravesh se thoda aage he ye vyakti reception par baitha tha.
"Aap hai Sh Raunaklal ji, V.R.S. group ke MD aur inki mulakaat ka samay nirdharit hai Shrimaan M.L. Tomar ji ke sath.", Driver ke lehje se ye nahi lag raha tha ke ye datiyakar vyakti sirf driver hai.
"Hanji. Aap ek minute pratiksha kijiye.", Is vyakti ne turant phone lagaya aur jawaab milte he unhe pehla kamra chhod kar agle me jaane ka kaha. Driver bhi unke peeche chalta is kamre ke bahar pahucha toh surakshkarmi ne wahi rok lia.
"Rivolver jama karwani padegi, nahi toh yahi intjaar kijiye.", Sarkari Surakshakarmi ne driver ki kamar me holster wali rivolver dekh kar kaha. Driver ne bhi belt ke sath rivolver thama di jisko khule darwaje se andar baitha Tomar bhi dekh raha tha. Raunaklal ji andar hath milate hue bahar bhi dekh rahe the. Driver andar aane ke baad ek taraf khada ho gaya tha.
"Bura matt maniyega MLA sahab, Singh mera sirf driver nahi saya bhi hai. Ab vyapar ke sath sath paisa bhi lekar chalna padta hai toh jaan ka khatra rehta he hai. Singh ne 3 baar meri jaan bachai hai pichle 20 saalo me. Isliye main apni meeting me bhi sath rakhta hu."
"Arre bhai Raunaklal ji zindagi hai toh paisa hai aur jab zindagi he nahi toh paisa kis kaam ka. Aaj poore 10 saal baad main is mukaam par pahucha hu ke khul kar idhar udhar ghoom leta hu. Nahi toh pehle mujh par toh anginat baar goli chali hai. Dhire dhire jan-sadharan ki taqat se aaspas ke 200 gaanv, 10 kasbe aur 4 shehro me janta aur vyapari sirf ijjat aur pyaar karte hai humse. Fir bhi ye bahar khada sarkari driver policia rakhna padta hai, majburi me. Bataya janaab aapki kya khidmat kar sakta hai ye nacheej, itne bade group ke maalik aaj is taraf kaise.?", Raunaklal ne hath jodd diye itna sunn kar aur fir apne driver ki taraf dekha jo murti ki tarah khada tha
"Aisa hai mantri ji ki madhya hariyana se dakshin tak toh kaam jamaya hua hai, devi maa ki kripa se. Lekin waha ab taklif hone lagi hai thodi aur udhar se vyapaar hata kar ab aapki taraf bhavan nirmaan aur ply ke kaarkhne me aana chahte hai. Rooprekha bhi tayaar hai aur aap sath denge toh jameen ke sath sath nirman ka material bhi aapki sharan me mil jayega. Paise ki chinta nahi hai aur aapke shashan me shehar ki tarakki se dono ko he fayeda hoga.", Raunaklal ne kheeshe niporte hue poori chaashni udel di thi.
"Yaar ye bhawan nirmaan me kaha munafa hai? Paisa lagao, jameen lagao aur fir bechte firo. Aur na biki toh sab paisa jaam."
"Na na Mantri ji, aap toh highway pe ho dono taraf se, aur yaha se Delhi sath he toh hai. Kitno ko sambhalegi choti si Delhi? Yu maan lo ke 1 lakh ki jameen pe 1 lakh ka maal lage toh 4 lakh me bikegi. Kharche nikal kar dedh lakh toh khara bachega bhai sahab. Aur permission 6 se jyada manzil ki mil gayi toh fir vaare nyare hai ji. Dedh ki jagah 3 munafa pakka hai. Aapka toh aur bhi jyada, material-jameen bhi toh aap ji se he lenge.", Is baar Tomar sochne laga tha. Sochte hue phone milaya aur 3 cup chai ka bolne ke baad thoda aage jhuk gaya us aalishan table par.
"Investment kitna soch ke baithe ho Raunaklal ji? Dekho is jagah main apne he logo ko bulwata hu bas nirash matt karna."
"Dekho ji hum bhi saaf baat karne wale vyakti hai bhai sahab. Filhal toh aisa hai ji ki 40 toh lagte saal me kharch sakte hai. Thoda samay lagega baak lekin agle saal iska 5 guna aur fir toh yahi se kamana aur yahi lagana hai ji.", Raunaklal ki baat sunn kar thoda hairat se dekhne laga tha Tomar.
"Ye 40 lakh aur agle saal 2 crore lagane ka keh rahe ho aap? Itna toh main jameen ke 2 saude karwane me commission le leta hu Raunaklal ji. Aap hamara aur apna samay barabd karne aa gaye."
"Kya baat kar rahe ho bhai sahab? 250 crore ka sochke aaye the hum toh. Kahi aap mere udaharan dene wali baat ko toh nahi maan gaye? Bhai sahab 50 lakh ki gaadi me aapse chindi-chori wali baat karne aayenge. Idhar aap mantri ho ji lekin apni taraf 5 zilo me hum patta dhoond de itna varchasva. Baaki abhi toh akele idhar aaye hai lekin kaam badhega toh ji mere jaise darjan bhar vyapari mitra hai jo same dhande me utarna chahte hai. Itna party fund denge mil kar ke aapko kabhi humse bahar nahi jana padega.", Yaha jaise Raunaklal ne kisi dukhti ragg par hath rakh dia tha Tomar ki aur hath me hath pakadne se toh Tomar thandi saans lene laga. Raunaklal ne apni kalai ghadi uske hath me pehna di.
"Bhai sahab ko mulakat ka shagun hai ji chote bhai ki taraf se. Switzerland se khaas mangwai thi 15 lakh ki lekin mere hath thode paule hai aur aapke majboot.", Ab ghadi ko niharne ke baad Tomar khusi se khada ho kar Raunaklal ke gale ja laga.
"Aap meeting rakhwa lo bhai. Highway ki saari jameen mere pas hai jo main galat insaan ko dene laga tha kyonki pichle chunaav me uska ehsaan tha mere upar. Main bhi kaale ko safed karna chahta hu. Jameen meri, paisa aapka aur munafa aadha aadha."
"Ye baat kari bade bhai aapne ek number ki. Delhi tak shehar banate jayenge agar aapka aashirwad raha toh."
"Sir, bura na maano toh pooch sakta hu ke woh insaan kaun hai jisko aap jameen dene wale the? Kal ko kahi aapke aur hamare raste me aaya toh baat bigad sakti hai.", Driver Singh ke is pehle sawaal par jaha Raunaklal ne gusse me aankhe dikhai wahi Tomar ne kandhe par hath rakhte hue usko shant kia.
"Galat sawaal nahi hai aapke aadmi ka Raunak bhai. Aadmi aapka agar trained hai toh shayad ye us mushkil ko hal kar de. Mere pas hai raajnaitik taqat aur samajh lo ke main idhar se udhar kaam kar sakta hu. Naam batane ke evaj me main pehle tum mera kaam kar do fir hamare is naye dhande par main aankhen moond kar mohar laga dunga.", Tomar itna bhi bewkoof nahi tha.
"Aap kaam kahiye sir, hamare ilake me jaisa seth ji ne kaha hum patte ka pata bata sakte hai.", Driver ka aatmvishwas dekh kar Tomar ke chehre par kutil muskaan aa gayi.
"Ye ladki gayab hai kuch dino se. Zinda hai itna pata hai aur aakhiri baar **** shehar me thi hafta pehle. Chaho toh fax machine istemal kar lo, email ki suvidha bhi mil jayegi tumhe. Shabnam naam hai iska aur ye hamari jaan hai.", Tomar ne tasvir driver ki taraf sarkai aur ek taraf padi machine-computer dikhate hue kaha.
"Ji kuch ekaant mil sakta hai agar bura na lage toh.?", Driver ke itna kehte he Tomar apne sath Raunaklal ko bahar bagiche me liye chal dia. Chai ke cup reception wala vyakti unke peeche. Wo log bagiche me agla aadha ghanta tafri maarte rahe aur idhar ye vyakti machine aur phone ke sath laga raha. Fir khud he tasvir liye bahar chal dia. Ye surakshakarmi bhi uske peeche ho liya jo shayad najar rakh raha tha darwaje ke bahar se he.
"Sir, #### shehar me he hai ye ladki. Shabnam Mirza naam hai iska aur England se sambandh rakhti hai.", Driver ke aisa batane par ghaas par tehalte Tomar ke paanv wahi jamm gaye. Itni jaldi is vyakti ne ladki ka pata laga dia tha, uske aadmi 5 din se maare maare fir rahe the lekin asafal.
"Us shehar me kaha hai Shabnam? Mujhe woh ladki chahiye har haal me Singh. Tum usko mere pas le aao, main apne hisse ka 5 pratishat tumhe dene ko tayaar hu.", Tomar jaise Shabnam Mirza ka diwana tha aur diwangi ki seema kaha hoti hai.
"Wo kaha hai iski keemat chukane ke baad he mujhe pata chal payega. Lekin kal ye ladki aapke pas hogi, main jubaan deta hu.", Singh ne vachan dia toh Tomar ke chehre par khushi aa gayi.
"Kal ka intjaar kahi jyada na ho jaye Raunaklal ji. Lekin humko aapka ye vafadar vyakti pasand aa gaya.", Tomar ke aisa kehne par Raunaklal ne bhi prashansha ki drishti se apne driver ko dekha.
"Ab toh ye aapke liye bhi kaam karega bhai sahab. Waise main keh raha tha ke agar aapke pas kuch samay ho toh bhojan kia jaye aur gaadi me ye suitcase bhi intjaar kar raha hai aapka.", Raunaklal ne seedha paise na kehte hue gaadi ki taraf ishara kia. Tomar bhi baat samajhte hue unke sath car ki taraf badh chala, apne surkashakarmi-driver ko dusri gaadi peeche laane ka kaha. Singh ki rivolver bhi ab wapis mil chuki thi.
"Raunaklal ji, aaj aapko aisa bhojan karwate hai jo bade bade restra me bhi nahi milta hoga. Apna ek niwaas sthaan ye bahar highway par he hai, Singh yaha se bahar nikal kar gaadi apne hath ki disha me seedha le chalna. Aur kaam ke badle naam ki baat kahi thi maine, toh wo vyakti hai Avdhesh Mishra, cheeni mill aur eent bhatto ki aad me iske bahot se anaitik dhandhe hai. Mere pas logo ka sath hai lekin sansad me jaane ke liye sirf wahi kaafi nahi hota.", Tomar apne dil ki baat karne laga tha jaise woh khud kisi musibat me ho aur Singh uski ye samasya bhi hal kar dega.
"Avdhesh Mishra, Hardoi wale?", Singh ne gaadi ko is highway par daalte hue bas itna he poocha aur fir se saamne dhyan dene laga.
"Hardoi toh bas baa-dada ki wajah se batata hai woh. Sala yahi Delhi ke aas-pas avaidh khanan, rangdaari aur logo ko suraksha dene ka dhandha chalata hai ye. Majboor tha tab isne apne he faayede ke liye meri ticket karwa di thi aur us 5 crore ke karz ko pichle 10 saal me 50 dene ke baad bhi na utaar paya hu. Beshak ghar-pariwar se main bhi shasakt hu lekin uske liye toh bas gulam se jyada koi ehamiyat nahi hai meri. Dost, jaanta hu ke bahot badi maang rakh raha hu jisme tumhari jaan bhi ja sakti hai lekin agar Avdhesh ko hata do toh main meri 2 plywood ki factory me se ke tumhare naam kar dunga. Kehne ko 4 hai lekin mere hisse me 2 he kaarkhane aate hai. Nahi toh jitna paisa Avdhesh ne mujhe dia tha utna he main tumhe de sakta hu.", Lachari dikhana Tomar ke liye koi badi baat nahi thi, pesha bhi toh aisa tha jisme poori janta ko woh aise he ullu banata aa raha tha.
"Dekhiye sir, woh chhota vyakti nahi hai. Maine bhi thoda bahot jana hai Avdhesh Mishra ke baare me aur us tak seedha pahuchna asaan kaam nahi. Baaki dekhte hai kya ho sakta hai, kismat kab sath de jaye ye toh bhagwan he jaanta hai.", Shehar khatam hone se pehle he Tomar ne kandha thapthapa kar Singh ko is taraf mudne ko kaha aur thoda aage chalte he khuli jagah me ye bada sa ghar dikhate hue horn baja kar gaadi andar karne ko kaha. Pichli seat par baith kar woh dekh chuka tha ke ye attachi khachakhach noto se bhara tha.
"Raunaklal ji, ye ghar haal he me lia tha maine mere marhoom dost Tarachand se. Aapko dekh kar uski yaad aa gayi, Tarachand aur mere beech sabkuch sanjha tha. Yaha tak ki Shabnam bhi lekin ab Shabnam ko yahi rakhunga main.", Gaadi se utar kar woh Raunaklal ko sath liye aangan se andar chalne laga toh car ke pas khade Singh ko bhi andar aane ka nyota dia. Surakshakarmi ab darwaje ke pas mustaid tha. Ghar sunsaan tha jaise yaha koi aata jata nahi tha lekin saaf-safaai se itna pata chalta tha ke dekhbhal ke liye toh koi rehta he hai.
"Ari oh Muniya, 3 logo ke liye khana paros de. Tayaar kar lia hai na?", Hall me se he awaaj dene par ye khanakti awaaj jawaab ke roop me aai.
"Ji sahab, bas 5 minute me laga rahi hu."
"Waise hua kya aapke mitra Tarachand ko? Prakritik ya ..", Raunaklal ne jhijhakte hue poocha. Ab yaha ye dono ek bade sofe par baithe the aur table ke dusri taraf saadhe 6 feet ka Singh single sofe par baitha apni he duniya me khoya tha.
"Na bhai na. Tarachand ki hatya hui lekin koi saboot na mila sirf Shabnam ki tasvir thi jo maine police record me jaane na di. Shabnam ki maa bhi kabhi premika thi Tarachand ki aur fir beti ne woh jagah le li. Dil toh Avdhesh Mishra ka bhi uspe aaya lekin Tarachand ke baad woh peeche hatt gaya aur ab sirf woh meri hai."
"Kahi Tarachand ki hatya ke peeche bhi ye Mishra ji toh nahi?", Raunak ne thodi soch vichar ke baad baat kahi toh Tomar ne naa me gardan hila di.
"Tarachand sarhad ke is paar Haryana me dabish rakhta tha aur Avdhesh uske jariye he apne kaam leta tha. Kuch naam dimaag me aaye the lekin woh log nahi ho sakte. Saalo pehle hum log ek dusre ke raste se hatt gaye toh ab fir se koi khoon-kharaba nahi karega. Umar bhi ho gayi Raunak bhai, dushmani ke liye samay he kaha raha.", Hanste hue Tomar ne gilas me paani daali aur ye ghoonghat liye aai sanwli si jawaan yuvti mej par khana sajane lagi.
"Padhai likhai nahi karti?", Baaki dono bhi Singh ke is sawaal se chonk gaye jo is ladki se baat karne laga tha.
"Saab yahi karna aata hai, afsar nahi lagna mujhe koi.", Ladki ke ghoonghat se bhi aankhe aur masoom chehra dikh raha tha.
"Singh, Muniya ki maa mere ghar kaam karti hai. Ye bhi wahi seekh rahi thi aur fir main isko yaha le aaya. Agle baras byaah hai iska toh socha ghar-grahsthi main he sikha du. Samajhdar hai aur khana bhi badhiya banati hai, apne maa se bhi lajeej. Aaj yahi rukne wala hu toh sabse bada gyaan raat me deke aaj he aurat bana dunga.", Jis tarah Tomar ne ye baat kahi thi woh ladki pal-bhar bhi kamre me na ruki. Chehre par sharam se jyada darr aur hairat thi bechari ke. Lekin Tomar aise hans raha tha jaise chutkula sunaya ho. Matlab saaf tha ke woh is kunwari ladki ko bhogne wala tha.
"Bhai sahab, bade he pahuche hue ho aap. Aajkal aisi desi jawani hamari taraf toh dekhne ko nahi milti. Mil jaaye toh pehle se he jawaan harami londe kharaab kar dete hai.", Raunaklal bhi jaise vyapari hone ke sath sath aise shauk rakhta tha.
"Tabhi kaha tha ke bhai tum Tarachand ki yaad dilate ho. Hahaha, wo bhi har shaniwar-eitwaar mere sath milkar yahi samajik karya karta tha. Ab toh 50 se jyada 18 wali bhogi hongi humne.", Attahass ke sath Tomar apna raaj bata raha tha aur hall ke dusri taraf khadi Muniya ki aankhon se aansu beh rahe the. Lekin ek pal me he pathakha chalne ki awaaj ke sath woh hansi bhi band ho gayi aur awaaj sunn kar kamre me aai Muniya ki aankhon se aansu bhi thamm gaye. Raunaklal bhi aankhe faade bas Singh ko he dekh raha tha jisne Tomar ke maathe ke thik beech woh chavanni sa chedd karke Tarachand ke pas bhej dia tha. Surakshakarmi daudta hua andar aaya toh woh bhi thithak gaya ye najara dekh kar.
"Muniya beti, ghar ja kar tumhe yahi zindagi milegi. Koi aur Tomar aayega wahi karne jo sala ye rakshash karna chahta tha. Mujhe nahi lagta ke tumhari maa ki bhi halat kuch alag hogi.", Singh ne khade ho kar bade pyaar se ladki ke sar par hath ferte hue kaha. Surakshakarmi diwan par rakhi chaadar se khud he Tomar ki laash lapetne laga toh Raunaklal ke pasine aane lage.
"Babu ji, maa ko toh aadat hai aur usne he yaha bheja tha ke maalik jo kahe wahi karna hai. Ghar ki dehlij se bahar nahi nikalna aur mooh band rakhna hai. Kal raat bhi inhone mere sath ganda kaam kia tha."
"Kitne saal ki ho tum?"
"ji 16 ki.", Aankhon me aansu liye woh itna he bol paayi. Singh ne bachi ko apne kaleje se laga lia.
"Saale haivaan kahi ke. Aur ye log janta par raaj karte hai. Hari, iski laash ko seat par baitha kar aag laga dena. Sath he sarkari gaadi ko pump le jana petrol dalwane jis se tum ghatna ke samay yaha uplabdh nahi hoge. Muniya beti bhi police ko bayaan de degi aur fir isko #### shehar me hamare aashram chhod dena. Mamla gambhir hai toh kadi poochtach ho sakti hai."
"Ji sir. Isliye he laash ko yaha se uthaya hai. Goli nikaal dunga jalane se pehle aur Muniya behan tum bas yaha se safai me madad kar dena.", Hari ke itna kehne par Muniya ne haami bhari lekin Singh ko kuch aur he manjoor tha.
"Raunak, hosh me aau aur Muniya ko car me baithao. Isko gayab karna he thik hai yaha se. Ladki chhoti hai aur toot sakti hai. Tomar ki laash ko rasoi me rakh kar gas khol do aur chalo sab yaha se. Hari, ambassdor leke tum pump chale jao iske baad.", Plan me khud he badlaav karte hue Singh ne ladki ko Raunak ke sath bahar bheja aur Hari ki madad karte hue Tomar ko us badi si rasoi me lita dia. Goli nikale bina he gas ka hara pipe cylinder se nikalne ke baad pehle Hari ko bahar bheja aur fir khaane ke bartan araam se aangan me ek taraf rakhne ke baad bahar hall me he cigrattee sulga kar fenk di. Ab ghar ke andar sirf Tomar ki toyota khadi thi.
"Niklo yaha se.", Driver ab Raunaklal tha aur peeche Singh ke sath sehmi hui Muniya baithi thi. Darr bhi tha aur hairat bhi ki ye log kya kar rahe hai? Maidaan se bahar aate he halka bhukamp aur ek bheeshan awaaj sunai di. Hawa me malba dur dur tak uddta gaya tha. Gaadi aaspas hoti toh pakka shishe toot jaate.
"Sir aap na aise kaam karte ho ke har waqt yahi lagta hai ke ab maut aai tab maut aai. Main aainda factory se bahar nahi niklunga. Manager hu wahi thik hai, maalik aap he bano.", Raunaklal thodi tezi se gaadi bhaga raha tha.
"Tum pehli baar toh aisa nahi kar rahe Raunak. Diler ho aur isliye Umed Singh tum par bharosa karta hai. Hari ke ghar 5 lakh bhijwa dena, bechare ki behan ki shaadi ne imaan bechne ko majbur kar dia. Isko bhi maamla shaant hone ke baad apne yaha kaam par rakh lena.", Umed Singh ne huliya durust karne ke baad fir se Muniya ke sar par hath fera.
"Beti jaanta hu tum sadme me ho aur dari hui bhi ho. Lekin main poori koshish karunga tumhe atcha aur uchit jiwan dene ki. Padhai nahi karni toh silai-kadhai he seekh lena.", Umed ne ladki ko haunsla dete hue saamne dekha toh gaadi rajya ki hadd me aa chuki thi.

Dopahar ke 2 bajne wale the aur yaha Arjun apni bua ke sath ghar wapis aa gaya tha. Peeche baithi Madhu bua ne ye bade bag pakde hue the jinme kapde, nimantran patra aur baaki sab samaan tha. Sabse bhaari toh nimantran patra wala bag tha jiski wajah se taang bhi sunn ho gayi thi. Andar aate he bua ne Priyanka ko awaaj di toh uske sath sath Shankar ji khud bhi aa gaye.
"Arre baap re. Tum dono pagal ho kya? Ye car me bhi leke aa sakte the. 10 kilo se jyada ka toh ye bandal hai aur isko goad me utha ke le aai.", Shankar ji ne woh bandal uthate he narajgi jahir ki. Priyanka bhi bua se kapdo ke lifafe leti unhe dekhne lagi. Jameen par khade hote he Madhu bua paanv patakne lagi.
"Aahh. ye paanv so he gaya. Arjun ki galti nahi hai Shankar, isne mana kia tha lekin Lalita bhabhi ne apne ghar bhi jana hai shaam ko aur pita ji bhi toh Devika ke ghar jayenge abhi card dene. Tumhe bhi jana hai Madhu ki sasural card pahuchane. Baad fir baad he reh jata hai.", Shankar ji apni behan ki khoobsurti dekh rahe the lekin fir jhempte hue andar chal diye. Ab yaha bua ke hilte chuche bas Arjun dekh raha tha.
"Bua, andar chalo na. Kya kar rahi ho aap?", Arjun ne jhijhakte hue ek baar aur seene ko dekha aur fir dono ki najre mili.
"Badmash kahi ke. Main chali maa ke pas aur tu tera kaam kar.", Bua hansti hui udhar he chali gayi jidhar Priyanka gayi thi aur Arjun gehri saans leta hua galiyare me ho lia. Aaj subah se he woh ye alag sa badlaav mehsoos kar raha tha. Jaise sharir me gati badh gayi ho aur bua ke sath 2 baar karne ke bawjood uska ang thithilta nahi mehsoos kar raha tha. Aise he hilta dulta hua woh maa ke kamre me ja pasra jaha abhi koi na tha.
Kaushalya ji ke kamre me jamghat laga tha aur kuch waisa mahol Rameshwar ji ke pas baithak me tha. Lalita ji, Priyanka, Komal, Madhuri aur Renuka Madhu ke kharede kapde dekh rahi thi wahi Rekha ji ne ye 10 nayi saree plastic ke sath Madhu ke saamne rakh di. Kaushalya ji aur Tara bhi ek ek saree ko nihar rahi thi. Kuch vajni jaridaar saree thi vishesh samay ke liye aur 6-7 araamdayak rango ki khoobsurat jaisi khud Rekha ji pehanti thi.
"Maami, maa ki toh lottery he lag gayi. Kitni sundar hai ye aur aapne khud kabhi kyo nahi pehni?", Darwaje par Shankar ji aa khade hue jo apni maa ko bulane aaye the lekin mehfil dekh bas chupchap khade rahe.
"Tara bitiya, mere pas ek bed poora bhara hua hai aur waise bhi mujhe wahi saree pasand hai jo main hamesha pehanti hu. Aur ye sabhi teri mummy par khilne wale rang hai, Madhu sundar he itni hai.", Madhu bua bhi Rekha ji ki baat sunn kar ye gehri laal saree apne seene ke saamne rakhti khush ho kar apni maa ko dikhane lagi.
"Maa, kuch bhi kaho Rekha bhabhi ki pasand sachmuch lajwaab hai. Aur ye wali toh main ghar se he pehan kar jaane wali hu.", Ye firoji rang ki saree dekhte he Kaushalya ji ne apne hath me pakad li.
"Ae Rekha, ye wali toh Arjun ne dilwai thi na? Iske sath ki ek reshmi neeli bhi thi. Isko kyu de rahi hai fer jab Arjun ne uphar di hai.", Kaushalya ji ki paarkhi najro se ye bach na saki.
"Maa ji, Arjun se pooch lia tha savere he maine. Woh wali main pehanti hu aur ye Madhu ke liye hai. Uphaar woh toh nahi hona chahiye jo sirf atirikt ho? Madhu khaas hai toh iske liye ye khaas saree aur aap khud he dekh lijiye isne bhi yahi pasand ki hai. Blouse mere maap ka hai lekin fitt aayega tumhe.", Rekha ji ka itna bada dil dekh Madhu ne gale laga lia apni bhabhi ko.
"Fer badle me jo suit mujhe Arjun ne pasand karwaye the unme se ek tum bhi logi bhabhi. Ab ye na kehna ke suit nahi pehanti? Nanad keh rahi hai toh ek baar pehan lena.", Madhu bua ne pehli baar market se jo suit liye the unki baat kahi.
"Haan pehan legi Rekha. Tu tera baaki samaan pack karwa in ladkiyo ke sath aur Priyanka tu apni taai ke sath khana banwa beti. Ye toh lage rahengi bajaar laga ke, kaam na hai koi inhe. Main jara dekhu ye saare marad kya gappe haank rahe jo hansne ki awaaj yaha tak aa rahi. Shaam tak aane wale nahi the aur 3 ghante me mehfil laga ke baith gaye.", Badbadati hui woh khadi hui toh ab Shankar ji idhar nahi the.
"Bhabhi ji, toh ye pakka hua hai ke bhai sahab nimantran le kar Radhika aur fir Madhu bitiya ke ghar jayenge driver ke sath. Shankar beta ja raha hai Madhuri ke sasural lekin iski wapsi kal he hogi kyonki subah ye meri shrimati ji ko leke aayega aapke pas. Rajkumar bhi apni sasural ja raha hai biwi ke sath. Fir kal aap sabhi mantrana kar lena jaisa pata laga hai ke Chandro Devi, Sitara ji aur Purnima ji savere aa rahi hai. Uske agle din ek taraf main aur Shankar nimantran dene shuru kar denge, ek taraf Satish bhai ke sath aap bhi maayke ja aana aur fir Satish bhai ke sath Pandit ji neeji logo ko aamantrit kar lenge. Bache apne hisab se dekh lenge saba aur Sanjiv bhi 3 taarikh ko aa raha hai toh woh bhi sambhal lega.", Ye Dharamvir Sangwan ji the jinke hath me bundal se bahar abhi 4-5 card the. Sabhi par Rameshwar ji ne he naam likhe the aur sabse pehle par Shri Ganeshaye namah.
"Bhai sahab, Shankar ko he roti karwate rahoge hamesha? Aap nimantran baad me bantna pehle kal shaam main aur aapke bhai sahab ghar aa rahe hai aapke. Ab hatao ye sab yaha se, khana lagwa rahi hu main. Shankar khaane ke baad car la diyo apne jija ki, Arjun saaf kar dega jaane se pehle.", Kaushalya ji ne apne robile andaaj me jaha sabke plan ke baad apni baat kahi wahi Shankar ko bhi kaam bata dia.
"Le aata hu ma, waise bhi bhai ko chhodne jana tha udhar. Ab bhai mujhe chhod dega waha tak.", Shankar ji apen jija ke sath baithe hue Rajkumar ji ki taraf hans kar dekh rahe the. Koi gupt baatchit ho jaise.
"Pata ni kya gitpit karte rehte ho. Apne jija ka bhi khayal kia karo, bada rishta hai dosti nahi.", Kaushalya ji jaane se pehle aisa bol gai lekin Shankar ji Ashok ji ke kandhe par hath rakhe kaan me kuch kehte jaise maa ki baat ki parwah he na karte dikhe. Gehri dosti toh thi he beshak jija-sala the lekin hamam me nange.
Col Sahab ne bahot kehne ke bawjood ghar jaane ki itcha vyakt ki aur bhojan shuru hone se pehle he nikal gaye, 4 baje aane ka keh kar. Yaha Manju khana lagwane Komal didi ke sath baithak gayi toh ke pal ke liye Shankar ji bas dekhte he reh gaye. Shankar ki najro ka peecha sath baithe Ashok ji ne bhi kia aur kaan me kuch fusfusaya toh jawaab me Shankar ji ne halki narajgi se dekha aur fir jaise Ashok ji ne bhi aankho se he gustakhi ki shama maangi.
"Manju tum kab aai beti?", Shankar ji ke aisa kehne par Manju ne sar pe lia dupatta thik karte hue jawaab dia.
"Mausa ji, main 8 baje he aa gayi thi. Daadi ne bulaya tha kaam se aur fir upar Ritu ke sath thi. Aap jaldi chale gaye the kya subah?", Ab jaise Ashok ko bhi thoda pata chala ke Manju khaas hai pariwar ki.
"Tera mausa ghar me hota he kab hai beti.? Kal se hamare Shankar ji nadarad the, shukar hai aaj hospital toh darshan de aaye. Waise Ashok, ye apne Daleep Singh ki beti hai. Tumne shayad isko 10-12 saal pehle he dekha hoga.", Rameshwar ji ke aisa kehne par Ashok ji ko ab samajh aaya ke ye ladki kaun hai.
"Ji papa. Daleep bhai se toh main 2 mahine pehle he mila tha lekin aakhiri baar Shankar ke sasural gaye the tabhi Manju ko dekha tha, koi 9-10 saal ki chhoti si bachi thi. Ab shayad iska vivah ho gaya hai.", Ye ek aur galat baat nikal gayi lekin Manju ne bas muskura kar unki baat par sehmati jata di. Ab baari thi Shankar ke thaska lagne ki jis par Kaushlya ji muskurane lagi. Kuch bhi ho, tha toh Shankar Manju ka Sasur he beshak bahari rishta Mausa ka ho.
"Mausa ji paani lijiye.", Manju ne sabke liye khana lagane ke sath he ye pani ka gilas unki taraf sarka dia.
"Thank you beta. Waise abhi bhi basketball khel rahi ho? Ashok ji, apni Manju national level player hai is khel me.", Shankar ji ne paani peene ke baad jija ko bataya.
"Dekh ke he lagta hai bhai. Lambai me toh is kamre me koi iske barabar najar nahi aa raha. Shayad Arjun he ek-do inch upar ho.", Ashok ji toh wahi keh rahe the jo unhe lag raha tha lekin har baar baat wahi jaane lagti thi jidhar Shankar ji nahi chahte the.
"Fufa ji, ab main swimming me hun aur trials ke liye tayaari kar rahi hu. Arjun ne he kaha tha ke team game me koi future nahi hai aur jo mujhe pasand hai wahi karna chahiye.", Manju ne samjhdari se ek teer aur 2 nishane laga diye the. Arjun ka bhi naam le dia apni pasand ka jikar karte hue nirnaya bhi bata dia. Iske baad agla aadha ghanta sabhi log baatein karte hue bhojan ka lutf lene lage lekin kahi na kahi Shankar ji ke dimag me Manju ki he chhavi ghoom rahi thi.
"Chal Shankar main bhi sath he chalta hu yar.", Khaane ke baad Ashok ji ne Rajkumar aur Shankar ko dusre ghar ke liye jaate dekh apni itcha jatai aur woh bhi sath nikal liye is zen car me. Ghar pe aaj toot-foot ko thik karne mistry aur majdoor lage hue the. Rajkumar ji idhar aate he thekedar se milne lage jo 2 yuvko ko paint khurachte waqt hidayate de raha tha. Aangan me bhi pathar tarashne ki machine par kuch log kaam kar rahe the aur ek taraf cement-reta ka masala ek majdur bana raha tha. Matlab saaf tha ke sabhi tarah ke kaam ek sath ho rahe the. Rang, marammatt, pathar, bijli ityadi ke. Labada odhe khadi Ashok ji ki car ko anavrit karte hue Shankar ji ne kapda dikki me rakha aur car ko chalu karne ke baad kuch der waise he chhod dia.
"Yar Shankar ab bata ke kya chakkar hai? Pehle toh mujhe maaf karna bhai ke maine galti se woh keh dia kyonki mujhe laga tu bhi wahi dekh raha hai. Aur Daleep ki beti apne yaha akele kaise?", Ashok ji ne cigrettee sulgane ke baad ek kash laga kar Shankar ki taraf badha di.
"Pehle he 50 pange hai yar. Ab ye uljhan main kaise spasht karu? Aur main galat nahi dekh raha tha, thoda hairan tha Manju ko saamne dekh kar bas.", Shankar ne 2 gehra kash le kar dhuan ugala aur ek taraf dekhne lage jaise kuch yaad kar rahe ho.
"Daleep se tera yarana aaj ka nahi hai aur Papa ka bhi uske pita se ghanisth sambandh tha. Lekin woh akeli yaha dekhi toh thoda ajeeb laga. Agar ye jhanjhat batane layak hai toh bol de."
"Kuch samay me bache kareeb aa gaye hai bade hone ke baad. Manju bhi school ke baad idhar he college aur stadium me aa gayi. Ab milne lage toh najdikiyan bhi badhna lajmi hai yar. Ab pariwar me pahuchan aaj ki toh hain nahi, bache bhi aapas me khush hai.", Shankar ki baat Ashok ko samajh nahi aa rahi thi ki woh kis disha me keh raha hai lekin jo samjha uske hisab se woh kehne laga.
"Hmmm. Bataya tha na Manju ne ke woh Ritu ke sath thi. Ladkiyan hai aur umar bhi aas-pas he hai. Atchi baat hai ke ghulna milna hai. Mujhe bas pata nahi tha isliye galti ho gayi. Waise jaldi shaadi nahi karwa di Daleep ne iski? Ladka kya karta hai?", Ashok ke is sawaal se he toh Shankar bachna chahta tha. Apne jija ko ab woh kya jawaab de? Mangalsutra pehna hai, maang me sindoor bhi hai toh ye toh keh nahi sakta ke vidhwa hai. Apne bete ka naam lia toh maa se vada-khilafi aur Jija ke adhik sawaal.
"Atcha ladka hai jis se byaah kia hai Manju ne. Main jyada nahi mila lekin ladka atcha hai Manju bhi khush he hogi, dekh ke toh yahi lagta hai.", Wapis cigrattee ka kash lete hue raakh niche jhadka di.
"Haan. Ye toh thik kaha tumne. Ladki upar se khush ho toh pata chal jata hai lekin Manju ke bhaav aur chamak se lagta hai ke ladka sachmuch pyaar karne wala mila hai usko. Atchi baat hai ke bache khush rahe, kya karta hai ya kuch bhi nahi karta is se farak nahi padta. Waise bhi jameen jayedad wale pariwar hai.", Shankar se cigrettee lene ke baad Ashok kash lagane laga aur Shankar car me baith kar ghar se bahar nikalne laga. Jija ne toh dimag he khaa lia tha. Aur baat sahi bhi thi ki ladka kuch bhi nahi karta aur kya kya karta hai ye pata bhi nahi. Haan jameen jayedad bhi toh Arjun ke he naam thi. Apni soch par khud he hansne lage aur jija ko baitha kar ghar chal diye. Rajkumar ji ne bhi kaha tha ke woh ghante tak aa jayenge.
Arjun khaane se faarig ho kar apni maa aur bua se baatein kar raha tha ke papa ki awaaj sunn kar uth gaya.
"Hani papa?", Aangan me aate ke sath usne poocha.
"Yar tere fufa ji wali gaadi par bahar pani maar dega? Dhone ke baad bas charo darwaje khol dena. Itni gandi nahi hai bas paani se ho jayega aur andar se saaf he hai.", Shankar ji ne apne bete se bade pyaar se baat kahi thi.
"Haan abhi kar deta hu. Aap baitho maa aur bua andar hai aur Ritu didi chai bana rahi hai. Ghante tak toh chale jana hai bua ne.", Arjun ne baat karte hue seedhiyon ke barabar ladki purani sooti chaadar utha li aur bahar aangan me chal dia. Shankar ji bhi apne kamre me chale aaye.
"Janaab, main najar nahi aai kya?", Arjun ne rubber ki pipe aangan wali toonti me lagane ke baad paani chalu karke lambe bonatt par araam se girana shuru kia he tha ke Manju is taraf chali aai. Car bagiche aur aangan ke beech bathroom ke pas khadi thi. Aangan me uski gaadi thi aur papa ki ghar se bahar. Arjun Manju ki awaaj sunn kar bas usko dekhta he reh gaya. Paani car ke upar ek he jagah gir raha tha.
"Jawaab dene ki jagah bas dekhte he rahoge?", Manju khush thi ki Arjun usko aise nihar raha tha.
"Sachmuch nahi pata tha ke tum ghar me ho. Kab aayi aur agar yahi thi toh mujhse nahi mili.", Arjun ne paani ka daab kam karne ke baad Manju ki taraf badhte hue pipe chatt par rakh dia. Ab dono he najdeek the aur upar jaati seedhiya bhi unko andar wale logo se dur rakhe thi. Arjun dekh raha tha Manju kitni haseen lag rahi thi aur aaj uski maang bhi bhari thi, hatho me kangan aur fir dikhai di woh anguthi jiski atche se pehchaan thi.
"Dekhte he rahoge kya? Subah se toh yahi hu. Yaad nahi nashte ke waqt sath he the."
"Haan lekin tab mujhe laga ke tum chali gayi ho. Aur fir main bua ke sath market chala gaya aur wapis khaane ke waqt he aaya tha. Tum dikhai nahi di.", Arjun ne kuch na pooch kar bade pyaar se ek hath thaam lia. Woh idhar udhar bhi dekh raha tha jaise koi inko dekh na raha ho. Manju uski halat par muskura rahi thi.
"Busy rehte ho na, mujhe pata hai. Tum kaam nahi karoge toh kaun karega? Waise bhi main Ritu aur Preeti ke sath upar thi. Fir khaane ke waqt niche aayi toh tum mausi ke kamre me araam kar rahe the.", Manju bhi uski ungliyo me apni lambi ungliya fansa kar aur kareeb aa gayi thi.
"Mera dil karta hai Manju ke tumhare pas aaun aur kabhi kabhi raat tumhare he sath reh kar dhero baat karu. Ghar me koi hota nahi toh mujhe rukna padta hai. Lekin ab papa idhar hai toh kaise na kaise main aa jaya karunga raat me.", Arjun ko itni chinta karte dekh Manju ko thoda bura laga tha.
"Main aau ya tum aao, ek he toh baat hai na Arjun. Waise bhi Menaka khayal rakhti hai mera aur fir aadha din Preeti-Ritu sath hoti hai. Bas hafte me ek aadh din hota hai jab mujhe lagta hai ke tumhara seena hota us takiye ki jagah. Tension mat lo, aaj raat main tumhare kamare me aane wali hu lekin 2 baje ke baad. Ye log us se pehle soti nahi hai lekin fir subah tak humko pareshan bhi nahi karne wali.", Manju ne bhi ek baar idhar udhar dekha, nishchint hone ke baad jaldi se Arjun ke gaal ko choom kar khilkhilati hui bhaag gayi.
"Pagal kahi ki. Aao raat me fir batata hu tumhe.", Arjun ne ab behte paani par dhyaan dia aur jutt gaya gaadi ko dhone. Aadha ghanta lag he gaya tha is badi car ko dhone aur sukhane me. Darwaja kholte he najar car me lagi chaabi par gayi toh dil kiya ke self maar kar car bahar nikal le lekin bas hath laga kar uthne he laga tha ke Pandit ji aa khade hue.
"Agar dil kar raha hai toh bahar nikal lao."
"Nahi dada ji, hamari nahi hai.", Arjun muskurata hua gaadi se bahar he nikal aaya. Rameshwar ji ne bhi uska sar sehla dia.
"Tere liye ek aur gaadi aa rahi hai kal. Woh tu he leke aana showroom se, mere sath.", Unki baat par Arjun dada ji ke gale lag gaya.
"Gaadi se jyada jaruri hai ke aap sath chalne ka keh rahe hai. Chaliye andar chalte hai nahi toh daadi shuru ho jayegi agar fufa ji ka shagun nahi kiya toh.", Arjun ke hanste he woh apne ladle ke sath andar chal diye. Arjun ne yaha se paani bhi saaf kar dia tha. Ghar ke beti wapis jaa rahi thi toh milne ke liye ummeed se jyada he log aa gaye the. Col sahab toh pariwar ka hissa he the aur Renuka, Preeti ke sath Romela bhi upasthit thi. Madhu ki Romela se atchi bolchal ho gayi thi aur pehle bhi unka parichaya aapas me tha lekin itna Arjun ko sangyaan tha. Wahi saamne se Kashyap ji ki bahu Saroj aur Malhotra ji ki biwi bhi milne aayi thi.
"Bua, aapke toh bade chahne wale hai.", Arjun ne kamre se 4 bag nikalte hue Madhu bua ke kaan me kaha jo sabhi se milne ke baad ab Arjun ko batane lagi thi konsa bag dikki me aur konsa seat par rakhna hai. Dono ke mooh aaspas he the jis se bua ne woh garam saansein mehsoos ki.
"Ek he pasand hai mujhe toh aur main jaanti hu woh bhi utna he pasand karta hai apni bua ko.", Arjun jhempta hua muskurane laga aur bahar nikal chala. Peeche he Rupali aur Manju bhi samaan liye chali aayi toh Arjun ne halki narajgi dono par jatayi.
"Aapko ye sab nahi karna chahiye. Main kar raha hu na.", Arjun ki narajgi Manju ko toh pata thi lekin Rupali thoda hairat me aa gayi.
"Madad he toh kar rahi hu teri. Gussa kyo ho raha hai?"
"Didi, main kar raha hu na. Aur bag bhari hai toh muscle khinch sakti hai aap logo ki. Sorry lekin ab main kar lunga.", Rupali ko bada atcha laga tha ke Arjun itni parwah karta hai bas aadhi sachai nahi pata thi ki usne Manju ko jhukte dekha toh para chadh gaya tha jisko jaise taise shaant kar lia tha.
"Atcha thik hai baba. Chal Manju isko karne de, nahi toh fir gussa ho jayega.", Rupali didi hath pakad kar Manju ko le gayi, hansti hui. Sabhi bahar chale aaye toh gaadi me baithne se pehle Ashok ji ne apne saas-sasur ka aashirwad lia. Madhu bua sabse khush ho kar mili thi aur fir jaise gaadi ke peeche se ghoom kar aage wali seat ki taraf badhi toh apne liye darwaja khol kar khade Arjun ko dekh uske seene se chipak gayi. Ajeeb he toh hota hai insaan ka antarman, woh kitna bhi khush dikhe ya sakratmak baat kare lekin ek chahne wale se pal bhar bhi juda hona pade toh har daleel fail ho he jaati hai.
"Tum aaoge na mere pas? Tumhari har baat maani hai aur main poori koshish karungi tumhari baat ko khara rakhne ke liye, bas kabhi kabhi apni bua ko haunsla dene aata rehna.", Is rone me koi fafakna ya shor na tha, bas aankho me nami aur dil me kuch dard tha. Arjun bhi unhe seene se lagaye hanste hue bola.
"Sab dekh rahe hai bua aur waise bhi aap jald wapis aane wali ho. Haan uske baad main jarur apni bua se milne aata rahunga. Aise he rote hue jara apne papa ke bhi gale lag jao, dekh rahe hai aapko woh.", Arjun ke aisa kehte bua ne geeli aankhon se apne pita ko dekha aur woh khud he barabar chale aaye.
"Meri gudiya ko baap ke seene se lagne ke liye aaj bhi kisi ki permission nahi chahiye.", Rameshwar ji ne itna kaha aur bua ne us safed kameej par is baar aankhon ki kaalikh paut di. Yaha woh apna dard rok na saki beshak seena Arjun ki jagah baap ka tha.
"Atcha main bhi aa he raha hu na tere piche he. Beti ka ghar ka paani nahi peete lekin chai toh pila he dena apne baap ko.", Rameshwar ji ne mahol ko khushnuma karte hue apni laadli ko gaadi me baithaya aur Arjun ne darwaja band karte hue hath hila kar unhe vida kia. Is dauran Renuka aur Komal ki najre barabar Arjun par he thi. Lekin Tara bindaas Arjun ke kareeb aati hui bol padi.
"Meri maa toh mere se jyada iski sagi ho gayi duniyawalo. Dekha meri kismat. Aisa karte hai mama hum Arjun ko maa ko de dete hai aur aap mujhe le lo.", Tara ki baat sunn kar sabke chehre par hansi aa gayi thi. Shankar ji bhi apni bhanji ko sath liye hanste hue andar chal diye.
"Tujhe lene ki kya jarurat hai, tu toh hain he ab is ghar ki. Teri maa ne ek baar na kaha ke tu sath chal. Matlab ab tu bas meri beti hai aur Arjun bas teri khidmat ke liye yaha rakha hua hai.", Apne mama ki baat sunti hui woh Arjun ko thenga dikhati aage chalne lagi. Sabhi ja chuke the aangan se siwaye Komal didi aur Renuka bua ke. Col sahab ke baaki sadasya abhi yahi ghar me he the lekin Romela kuch jaruri baat karne Rekha ji ke sath unke kamre me thi aur ladkiyan fir se apne upar wale kamro me.
"Kuch batane layak baat hai?", Komal didi ne spasht chehre se ye sawaal kia tha aur Renuka bua bas dekh rahi thi.
"Mujhe toh nahi lagta ke aisa kuch hai jo batana jaruri ho didi. Koi baat hai kya jo aapne dekhi aur mujhe nahi pata.?", Arjun ka ye jawaab sunn kar Komal didi bhi naa me gardan hilati andar chali gayi ek ishara Renuka ko karte hue.
"Mere sath jara ghar tak chaloge Arjun? Bhabhi ne kuch mangwaya hai toh lete aana.", Renuka bua ke kehne par Arjun unke sath chal dia. Renuka bua ke hath me ye packet tha bade lifafe me. Arjun haami bharta hua unke sath chal dia. Aaj woh Akanksha se mil na paya tha aur kahi na kahi ye uske jehan me tha. Renuka ne ghar ke andar aane ke sath he gate band karte hue Arjun ko sath le lia. Parvati bhi najar nahi aayi thi hall me aur Romela ke kamre ki jagah dono Renuka ke kamre me aa chuke the.
"Kuch khaas baat hai?", Arjun ke itna poochte he Renuka uske jisme se lagti hui Arjun ka chehra jhuka kar hontho ko choomne lagi. Yaha tadap toh nahi thi lekin bahot kuch aisa tha jisko Arjun samanjhne ki jagah bas kapde ke upar se Renuka ke madhyam akaar ke sakht kulho ko dabate hue chumban me saath dene laga. Dono he kareeb 1 minute baad alag hue.
"Ye didi de kar gayi hai mujhe. Tumhe pasand tha toh khud mujhe dena chahiye tha na."
"Pasand toh aapko bhi bahot kuch hai lekin kehti nahi ho mujhse.", Arjun ne un kashish bhari aankhon me dekhte hue apni baat kahi toh Renuka ki najre jhuk gayi.
"Kabhi kabhi jyada khulapan bura lag sakta hai na Arjun. Dil ke sabhi armaan ya hasrate keh dena galat ho jata hai."
"Aapke aur mere rishtey me kuch khaas bhi hai, jaanti hai na aap. Lekin fir bhi aap badi hai toh haq se keh sakti hai. Rahi baat in kapdo ki toh haan mujhe laga ke jab aapne Madhu bua se sab sanjha kar lia hai toh unke he haatho ye dia jaye. Hamare beech me madhyasth jaisi toh hain woh.", Arjun ne niruttar he kar dia tha.
"Sorry, aainda nahi hoga aisa. Bas aurat hu toh maryada bhi hai meri. Sabke saamne ek talaakshuda jo hu."
"Mere sath aap kya hai woh jyada jaruri hai Renuka. Dil sath hone par toh kuch bura nahi lagta.", Arjun ki baat poori hote he Renuka ne fir se hontho ko mooh me bhar lia tha uske. Is baar khud he Arjun ka hath apne kulho par rakhti woh bhi usko apne sath chipka rahi thi. Aankhen unmaad se bharne lagi toh dono alag hue.
"Main chahti hu ke tum mujhe khulkar pyaar karo. Agle 4 mahine aise pyaar karo ke mujhe ilm na ho ke main aurat hu, apni premika ki tarah. Chahe toh main ghar se chori tumse bahar milne bhi aa jaungi."
"Ab aisa he karte hai. Bacha shaitaan na hua toh mehnat vyarth samjho. Waise pata hai ye kapde kaise hai?", Arjun ne ek ubhar ko kass kar dabate hue kaan me sargoshi ki. Renuka ki maadak siskari bata rahi thi ki woh abhi agar kuch karega toh Renuka ruk na sakegi.
"Aahhh.. Waise hai jaise har ladka sirf film me dekh kar khayaalo me sochta hai. Gande."
"Bas ab main khayaalo ki jagah parso raat aapko inme he dekhne wala hu. Aur soch raha hu ke ek jagah jo bachi hai usko bhi pyaar kar lu, inhe pehnaye hue he.", Arjun ne kulho ke beech ungliya dabate hue mansha jatai toh Renuka sisak uthi.
"Aahhh. kar lena. Bhabhi kehti hai ke mere ye bahot chhote hai. Pata bhi nahi lagta ke pehle bhi maa bann chuki hu. Upar se toh asar dikhne laga hai. aahhh. Chalo ab yaha se. Bhabhi (Romela) ne camera mangwaya tha, main le kar jaati hu.", Renuka bua alag hoti kamre se bahar chal di aur Arjun bhi unhe niharta hua unke sath ghar aa gaya. Dada ji bhi tayaar ho kar bas nikal rahe the lekin unke plan me badlaav tha ab. Yaha unke sath Shankar ji aur Tara-Ritu jaa rahe the aur Rajkumar ji apni biwi ke sath ab Alka, Aarti aur Priyanka ko le kar nikal rahe the. Madhuri didi ke idhar jaane ka karyakram parso ka bana tha kyonki unke ghar abhi mukhya log nahi the.
"Ye toh aap sabhi log ek sath ja rahe hai. Baaki sabko bhi le jaiye.", Arjun ne thoda narajgi se apne dada ji se kaha toh woh Shankar ko dekhne ke baad hanste hue Arjun se kehne lage.
"Ghar ka asli maalik aur daadi jab yahi hai toh fir sab kaha bahar hue? Bhai aisa hai ke tumhari dono behne jidd kar baithi apni bhabhi ko dekhne ki aur inko toh tumhara baap bhi taal nahi sakta. Rahi baat Rajkumar ki toh Sanjiv-Madhuri ke mama he toh bhaat nyotenge. Main tadke (Subah) 7 baje tak tere saamne milunga aur nishchint sona tum, Muneer duty par aa jayega 9-10 baje tak.", Rameshwar ji ne usko sab samjhate hue kaha. Yaha gaadi bhi Arjun wali cielo he thi jisme baith kar Ritu aur Tara Arjun ko jeebh chidha rahi thi.
"Atcha jao aap log. Aur didi aap log apna dhyaan rakhna.", Arjun ne unki masti najarandaaj karte hue aisa kaha toh jald he dono ke chehre ajeeb ho gaye. Ritu ne toh gaal he sehla dia tha.
"Raat ki he toh baat hai Aaru. Abhi pata laga tha ke waha tauji aur papa ne hotel lia hai isliye hum dekhne chal diye. Hotel ARK, Umed chacha wahi milenge.", Ritu ne surprise he khatam kar dia toh Shankar ji ne gaadi aage badha di.
"ARK toh spelling mistake hai Arc hota hai. ARK.. Arjun Ritu Komal.. shabash. Matlab ye ho naam aise hai.", Arjun ne gaadi jaane ke baad paheli suljhai toh hairaan ho gaya. Jyada isliye ke Umed chacha ne bhi jikar tak na kia tha iske baare me. Doodh aur khuraak se faarig ho kar aaj Arjun purane ghar bhi chakkar laga aaya tha. Aur apne samay par bagiche me tha. Sath dene ke liye yaha Manju aur Preeti bhi thi jo beshak dikhane ke liye aapas me baatein kar rahi thi lekin shamil Arjun bhi tha har baat me.
"Tumne bagiche me har cheej par barabar dhyaan diya hai, beshak har nasal alag hai.", Manju ne ye baat kehte hue un laal hibiscus ke phulo ko hath lagaya toh Arjun ka dhyaan gaya. Inhe sabse kam dekhbhal ki jarurat thi.
"Sahi nasal ek jaisi he hoti hai jinda, alag nahi. Ye Omorfi agar khaas hai toh inke barabar sath dene ke liye waise he Lincolan gulaab hai, alag jhaad nahi.", Arjun ne saaf keh dia tha ke woh aaj Preeti ke saamne kabool kar raha tha ke woh kahi bhi alag nahi hai. Preeti chehakti hui us bade jhaad tak chalti aayi aur Manju ko dikhate hue boli.
"Ye dekho Manju, yaha sab rang ek saath hai. Daadu ne bataya tha ke Arjun ne saal bhar sirf in par mehnat karke itne saare rang ek saath ek jagah jodd diye. Laal, gulabi, santriya aur safed tak shamil hai ek jadd me, bas peele wale aaj nahi dikh rahe. Arjun sabko sath rakhne ke liye itni mehnat kar sakta hai toh kam se kam hum tareef kar he sakte hain. Kyo kya kehti ho.?", Manju ko galti ka ehsaas hua aur woh jhuk kar Arjun ki madad karne he wali thi ki Preeti ne rok lia.
"Aisa mat karo Manju. Beshak hum sath swimming karte hai lekin yaha usko akele mehnat karne do. Wo baant nahi sakta, haan kabhi khud le aaye toh mitti me hath laga lena lekin shayad tab Arjun kisi ko is jagah ka ehsaas waris ki tarah karwayega.", Baat dabi chhupi thi lekin Manju ki aankhon me halka paani aa gaya tha. Wajah Arjun ya Preeti nahi the. Baat he aisi kar di thi Preeti ne. Usne woh adhikar Manju ke bache ko he de dia tha jo shayad Preeti ka tha. Arjun bhi apni jaan ko samajhta tha aur khush bhi hua aisa kehne par.
"Tum dono andar chalo. Ab yaha gara (keechad) hone wala hai. Chalo jao andar aur maa se pooch lena ke unhe kuch chahiye toh nahi. Menaka ji akeli hogi isliye bula lena unhe bhi. Daadi ke pas so jayengi khaane ke baad.", Arjun ne sara kachra aur sookhe patte ek taraf karte hue kaha toh Preeti bhi Manju ko le kar andar chal di. Andhkaar hone laga tha. Arjun ko ye khushi thi ki Preeti sachmuch uski ardhangini he thi aur Manju hamesha tayaar rehti thi balidaan ke liye. Woh dono ko he ab ek samaan dekhne laga tha, siwaye Ritu se tulna ke liye. Jo beshak adhikar jatati thi lekin woh Arjun ki aatma thi. Bas yahi toh farak tha jaha Arjun Preeti-Manju ke shresht hone ke bawjood Ritu ke samkaksh na la paya tha aur aisa hona mumkin bhi kaha tha, dhadkan tak ek thi dono ki. Sab shamil thi, sab pyaar karte the lekin Ritu-Arjun sabko khush karne ke bawjood apne pyaar ko saarthak nahi kar sakte the. Ek jaan kahi dohri ho sakti hai? Ritu gulaab na thi, wo thi toh bas jameen jis par Arjun ne pyar ugaya tha
