Wah bhai kya awal darje ka update diya he. Mene bhi lagbhag kayi logo ke rebu padhe lekin ek khas baat sabhi logo ne miss kar di. Chalo sabki apni 2 soch he.Update 142
Jawaan Din-Haseen Raat (3)
"Maa, Arjun apne Pandit ji ka pauta hai aur college me jo vakya hua tha na waha isne he madad ki thi.", Arjun us aalishan drawing hall me Jagtar ke pas he baitha tha jaha pichli bar gehra sannatta tha. Aaj ghar pe Jagtar aur uski mata ji maujud the lekin Jasleen pados me he Kirti ke ghar gayi hui thi. Jagtar ne Arjun ka parichaya diya toh uski mata ji ne bade he sneh se Arjun ke sar par hath firate hue aashirwad diya.
"Sanskar aur sewa ke liye alag he sthaan hai beta tumhare pariwar ka. Bahot khushi hui tumhe saamne dekh kar aur apne bacho ka ek sahi dost dekh kar. Waise toh Jaggi bhi bahot atcha aur jimmewar hai beta hai lekin tumhare baare me pata chala toh milne ki bahut itcha thi.", Arjun aur Jagtar ek-ek sofe par baithe the aur Jagtar ki mata ji ne kaanch ki table par dono ke liye doodh ke sath mewe rakhe aur unke saamne wale bade sofe par baith gayi.
"Aunty ji shiksha me toh aapne bhi koyi kami nahi aane di hai. Bhaiya dharam-karam ke sath sath kitne jimmewar hai ye main pichli mulakaat me he dekh chuka hu. Aur jaisi sakratmak urja aapke ghar me vyapt hai us se saaf pata chalta hai ke aap swayam he sidhhant aur sanskaro ko mehtava sarvopari rakhti hai. Pehli guru maa he hoti hai har bache ke jiwan me aur maa shresth hoti hai.", Arjun ne ek bar fir unki taraf dono hath jodd kar abhivadan kiya toh aunty ji ke chehre par alag he muskaan aa gayi. Idhar ye tagdi deel-daul wala kutta matakta hua aaya aur Jagtar ki goad me aa baitha. Wajan kahi jyada he tha uska lekin jaise wo khud ko abhi tak pilla he samajhta tha.
"Lo dekh lo sanskar. Ye halat hai yaha ghar ki aur tumhara ye bhai abhi tak bada nahi hua hai."
"Jeus naam hai na iska? Aapne toh iske sath bhi koyi farak nahi kiya. Ye dil maa ka he ho sakta hai jo har bache ko bacha he maanti hai.", Arjun dwara apna naam liye jaane se us kutte ne bhi ek baar dekhte hue jeebh nikal kar jata diya ke haa main he Jeus hu.
"Bada atcha laga beta ji tumhare vichar jaan kar. Ye Jeus aur Jaggi dono he ek jaise hai mere liye. Haan ek ghar me mera khayal rakhta hai aur dusra bahar. Waise beta ji main aur Jaggi maharashtra ja rahe hai aur shaadi wale din hamara waha aana mumkin nahi hoga. Main khud waha tumhare pariwar se milne jarur aaungi wapis lautne par."
"Bebe (maa), Jassi ja rahi hai vyaah vich. Appa Bambai toh aaye baad mil aavanage. Arjun bhai maa ne mannat bhi ki hui hai aur ye sab pehle se nirdharit tha isliye pehle he saaf batana uchit hai. Haan Jassi apni saheliyon ke sath shaadi me shamil ho jayegi. Bas behan ka khayal rakhna, jaanta hu ke tum aisa he karoge par ab ek he chaand hai hamare ghar me toh thodi parwah rehti hai.", Arjun ko bada atcha laga tha aunty ji aur Jagtar ka bilkul he saaf baat karna aur dono he pyaar se bhare vyakti the.
"Koyi shikayat ka mauka nahi milega aapko. Ab main chalta hu aunty ji, market me didi bhi intjaar kar rahi hongi. Agli bar jab bhi aana hua toh aapse jarur milne aaunga.", Arjun khada hua toh aunty ji bhi uth gaye. Nimantran patra aur mithai ka dibba ab Jagtar ke hath me tha jo ishare se Arjun ko baithne ka keh raha tha.
"Bitiya ko bhi lete aana tha beta. Lekin main jaanti hu aisa isliye nahi kiya hoga kyonki fir bahana kya banate. Jaggi, iske sath Kirti ke ghar chale jao beta. Card Arjun ka he dena behtar hai.", Jaha Arjun Kirti wala card bhi idhar se de kar nikalna chahta tha ab aunty ji ki wajah se usko unke bhi ghar jana padna tha.
"Chal Jeus, thoda sair karke aate hai.", Jaggi waise he chappal pehne Arjun ke sath chal diya. Arjun ne jaane se pehle aunty ji ka aashirwad liya aur unhone bhi pehli bar ghar aane par halki sakhtai ke sath Arjun ki jeb me shagun daal diya. Bahar sadak par Jeus badi shalinta se in dono ke beech chal raha tha.
"Ye wala Kirti ka ghar hai bhai jo din me hamesha he khali rehta hai. Poora pariwar he business dekhta hai, aunty ji bhi.", Jagtar ne is aalishan ghar ki ghanti bajate hue bataya aur udhar Jeus bagal wale khambe par he taang utha kar apni pehchaan lagane me vyast ho gaya. Ghar aalishan tha lekin ekdum khamosh. Lakdi ka wo bada darwaja khula toh saamne Kirti aur Jasleen dono he khadi thi. Dono he aadhunik yuvtiya is waqt dheeli tshirt aur jhaalar wale pajama pehne bhi behad aakarshak lag rahi thi aur Jasleen ke chehre par sapaat bhaav dekh Arjun ne he najre Kirti ki taraf kar di.
"Hello Kirti.", Arjun ne itna kaha aur Jagtar ye lohe ka gate kholta andar he chal diya Arjun ka hath pakde hue.
"Gate se he hello shallo karoge ab? Kirti, ye shaadi ka card dene aaya hai tumhe. Priyanka ka aana possible nahi hua toh Arjun ko jehmat uthani padi. Aunty ji abhi tak nahi aaye?", Jagtar itna bol kar is jagmag hall me chala aaya aur udhar Kirti ne bade josh se Arjun ka hath thaam liya.
"Thank you so much Arjun aur mujhe Priyanka ne phone par bata diya tha ke tum aane wale ho par time nahi pata tha. Jaggi tumhe pata hai na mom 6 baje tak he aati hai. Main maid ko bol kar thanda banwati hu tum log baitho.", Kirti ne chehre se baalo ki lat kaan ke peeche karte hue kaha toh Arjun ne najre hatate hue ek baar Jasleen ko dekha aur apna jawaab diya.
"Nahi Kirti ji, uski koyi jarurat nahi hai. Main abhi Jaggi bhaiya ke ghar se aa raha hu aur aunty ji ne khila pila kar he bheja hai. Waise bhi thoda jaldi me hu toh rukna munasib nahi hai.", Jasleen uski baat sunn kar andar ki taraf chal di. Jaane kya wajah thi aur abhi tak usne Arjun ko hello bhi nahi kaha tha.
"Jarurat kaise nahi hai? Maan liya aunty ji ne atchi sewa ki hai par yaha bhi pehli baar he aaye ho toh 5 minute baith he sakte ho.", Kirti ne hath pakad kar baithaya toh Arjun bhi 5 minute ke liye maan gaya. Jaggi ne Jeus ko apne pas na dekh idhar udhar najar daudai.
"Oh bhai tum baitho main jara Jeus ko dekh kar aaya. Wo agar park me bhaag gaya toh maa ne hum dono ko he ghar se nikal dena hai is baar.", Jagtar teji se bahar aaya toh Jeus unke he ghar ki taraf ja raha tha jaha Aunty ji khade the.
"Maa bula rahi hai Arjun, main tumse kal savere milta hu bhai kyonki abhi gurughar ka samay ho gaya hai unka.", Jagtar ne hath hilate hue kaha toh Arjun ne bhi thodi hichak ke sath sar hila kar haan keh diya. Arjun aur Jagtar ne savere saadhe 5 baje milne ka samay nishchit kiya tha kuch baatein karne ke liye.
"Mera number nahi hai tumhare pas? Ghar aa rahe ho toh bata bhi sakte the ki kis waqt pahuchne wale ho.", Ab Jasleen ke chehre par sirf gussa he tha aur Kirti rasoi me ja chuki thi. Lakdi ka mukhya darwaja bhi band tha.
"Wo.. wo maine socha ki aap ghar he milogi, college band hai toh.", Arjun shayad Kirti ka ghar hone ki wajah se jyada fikarmand tha. Lekin Kirti ki parwah na karte hue Jasleen waise he gusse me bolti hui uske kareeb baith gayi.
"Aap? Bahot sahi aur har baat khud he soch liya karo ke main kaha milungi aur tum apni marji se he aaoge. Jitni baar phone par baat ki hamesha tumhara haan-hun jaisa jawaab lekin yaha aane ke baad toh araam se phone kar sakte the na?", Arjun apne ghar kaise Jasleen se khul kar baat kar sakta tha jaha koyi na koyi maujud rehta tha. University se 2 baar phone kiya tha lekin dono bar Jagtar se he baat hui thi.
"Wo maine bhi phone kiya tha 2 baar lekin Jaggi bhaiya ne uthaya toh baat nahi ho paayi. Itna gussa aur kam se kam ye toh dekho hum kaha baithe hai.", Arjun ne thodi himmat karte hue Jasleen ka hath apne dono hath ke beech lete hue kaha. Ye sparsh he toh tha jiski kami ne Jasleen ko sataya tha. Pal me he wo khamosh ho gayi. Najre dono ki he ek dusre ko nihar rahi thi aur us khoobsurat chehre par halka dard ubhar aaya.
"Sorry for my bad behaviour. Tumhe kaise batau ki kitna intjaar kar rahi thi main tumhara aur phir aaye bhi toh mujhe yaad nahi kiya. Bura nahi lagega kya?"
"Aaya bhi toh dopahar me he hu aur 3 ghante baad tumhare ghar. Maine kaha tha na ke aise safar par chalne ki koshish matt karna? Tum bahot he pyaari ladki jo Jasleen aur tumhe dard dene wala duniya ka sabse badnaseeb insaan he ho sakta hai.", Arjun ke aisa kehne par Jasleen ne uske hontho par hath rakh diya.
"Shhhh.. Itna bhi jaleel mat karo ab. Bas ho jati hu thodi emotional aur gussa apne upar he aata hai. Waise tum 5 minute me jaane ka kyu bol rahe the?", Jasleen ka patla chharhara jism ab poori tarah se Arjun ke sath juda hua tha baayi taraf se. Wo gori naajuk ungliya hontho par he thi jinhe Arjun ke choomte he sharam se Jasleen ne hata liya. "gande kahi ke."
"5 minute se jyada tumhare pas raha toh phir se thank you le lunga aur ye jagah alag hai. Waise market me didi intjaar kar rahi hongi isliye bhi jaldi jana hai.", Arjun aakhiri baar wale chumban ka jikar kiya toh Jasleen ne khud he uska hath majbooti se pakad liya.
"Chalo utho aur ghar chalo mere sath. 5 minute mere hisse ke abhi baaki hai.", Jasleen ko bhi pata tha ki ab unke ghar bhi koyi nahi hoga. Kirti khaas dost thi lekin uske saamne wo bhi khul kar Arjun se baat nahi kar sakti thi. Jasleen ke khade hote he Arjun ki najar us dheele pajame ke khaas hisse par atak gayi. Jasleen ke tarashe hue madhyam se ubhaar aur lambi taange jaanleva thi. Kirti idhar he chali aayi tray me sharbat liye.
"Ab tum dono uth kar kaha chalne ki tayaari me ho?"
"Ye wapis ja raha hai aur ghar pe cards reh gaye hai jo uthane hai. Main aati hu 5 minute me wapis.", Ye 5 minute jaise aaj har insaan maang raha tha aur Arjun ne dhanyawad karte hue ek saans me sharbat ka gilas khaali karke tray me rakh diya.
"Jaldi he milte hai aur abhi kuch jaruri kaam hai toh jana jaruri hai Kirti ji."
"Samajh sakti hu aur agli baar samay nikaal kar he aana Arjun.", Kirti darwaje tak chhodne bahar aayi aur dono he Jasleen ke ghar ki taraf badh chale.
"Waha shisha bhi laga tha aur tum najre jyada he ghumate rehte hai.", Ghar ke andar aate he Jasleen ne Arjun ke maje lene shuru kar diye.
"Model jaisi ho tum bilkul ya ye kahu ke ek khoobsurat model.", Arjun andar hall me aaya toh Jeus ek taraf ungh raha tha. Aaj ghar me kaam karne wali wo aunty najar nahi aayi thi jo shayad avkaash pe thi. Arjun ke kadam rukne he lage the aur Jasleen hath pakadti usko apne kamre me aa gayi.
"X-ray karne ke baad kitni dhitai se jawaab dete ho. Waise sachmuch bahot gande ho tum.. Ummaahhh.", Jis josh se Jasleen ne Arjun ki kameej pakadte hue apne honth uske hontho se milaye the Arjun dheela he padd gaya. Jasleen ki tadap toh bina kisi milan ke he charam par thi aur uske patle madd-bhare hontho ka swaad bharpoor mithaas se bhara tha. Aisa he chumban Arjun ne kiya tha aur Jasleen jaise us din ko he yaad karti hui apna pyaar dikhane lagi. 25-26 inch ki us makhmali kamar par Arjun ka sparsh hote he Jasleen ki wo badi badi aankhen jhatke me khul gayi. Wo pur-kashish se bas Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Mardana sparsh is andruni naram hisse par nayi tarange paida karne laga. Rengte hue dono hath ne jaise he Jasleen ke kulho ko dabate hue Arjun ke sath atche se chipkaya uski aankhen fir se band ho gayi.
Kampkampate geele gulabi hontho par ab Arjun janleva kalakari karta hua Jasleen ko apna poora ehsaas karwane laga. Jaha Jasleen ke sharir se nikalti khaas mehak Arjun ko uttejit kar rahi thi wahi Arjun ka mardana sparsh aur uske hatho ke majbooti me Jasleen bhi pighalne lagi. Uske madhyam akaar ke thos chuche pehli baar mard ki chhati se dabte hue aur kathor hone lage. Samay se pare inka ye chumban ab ek dusre ki rasna choosne tak aage badh chala. Jasleen ki jeebh ko jitna Arjun apne mooh me pakad kar choosta, utna he wo meetha taral rista hua uske halak se niche utar jata. Ye chumban ab hadd se aage ja raha tha aur Arjun ki hatheli ne Jasleen ka wo kathor ubhar poora muthi me jakad liya. Jasleen ke sharir ka har roya second ke 100ve bhaag me khada ho chuka tha is harkat se. Uske ubhar par bas Arjun ka hath lagne maatra se ek lehar nabhi se uski akshat yoni tak daud gayi. Sharir me asankhya visphot aaj pehli baar he hue the aur Jasleen nidhal hoti hui Arjun ki baahon me pighal gayi.
Aaj se pehle tak Jasleen ko sirf hasthmaithun ka thoda anubhav tha wo bhi akele me yoni ko upar se sehlane tak. Lekin Arjun ke us sparsh ne jaise uski yoni ko ras-vihin he kar diya tha aur wo bhi bina waha kuch kiye. 2 minute baad kahi Jasleen ko hosh aaya toh wo bister par leti thi. Kareeb baitha Arjun bade pyaar se uska matha aur gaal sehlate hue bas usko he nihare ja raha tha. Jasleen ke chehre par jahan bhar ki sharam aur laali vyapt thi jiska bhaan Arjun ko atche se tha.
"Kya ye pehli baar tha?", Arjun ke aise sawaal ne jaise Jasleen ko nirvastra he kar diya. Takiye me mooh chupane ki koshish bhi jab nakaam rahi toh sharmati hui Jasleen ne bhi kehna uchit samjha.
"Har roj toh tum mujhe kiss nahi karte na? Aur aaj kiss se kuch jyada he ho gaya tha. Bahot jyada gande ho tum aur sab tumne kiya hai."
"Waise sach kahu toh mera hath tumne khud he apne yaha rakha tha aur ye nishan tumhare he nakhoon ke hai meri kalai par. Diet lena shuru karo thodi, abhi hath lagane se behosh ho rahi ho aur kal ko thoda aage badh gaye toh pata nahi police mera kya haal karegi.", Arjun se us sparsh ki asliyat pata lagte he wo aur jayda he sharmane lagi thi. Najre churati wo karwat liye dusri taraf mooh karke dhime sawar me bolne lagi.
"Mujhe tumhara sparsh har taraf chahiye aur utne he pyaar se jitna tumne kiss kiya. Waise sachmuch tum bure ho. Ye bhi toh keh sakte the ki tumne khud he hath waha rakha.", Is tarah karwat hone se Arjun ab atche se Jasleen ke ubhre hue nitamb nihar raha tha. Wahi Jasleen bas khayal bana rahi thi ab Arjun kya sochega aur kya bolega. Lekin jaise he apne lachile kulho par Arjun ka hath rengta mehsoos hua, Jasleen ki dhadkan phir se aniyantrit ho gayi. Wo jhallar wala dheela makhmali pajama jaise waha tha he nahi aur golakar kataav liye wo hissa itna romanchit bhi kar sakta hai ye Jasleen ne bas abhi mehsoos kiya.
"Abhi chalta hu Jas, der ho rahi hai. Jald milte hain.", Arjun ne upar jhukte hue chehra saamne kiya toh Jasleen jaise nivedan kar rahi thi ki aaj wo uske pas he rahe. Ye mumkin kaha tha. Ek pal dono ke honth mile aur Arjun turant yaha se nikal chala. Aaj he Jasleen ne mehsoos kiya tha ki Arjun ab uske liye kya maayne rakhne laga hai. Wo uske bina sachmuch jee na sakegi aur Arjun ne khud pehle he usko mana kiya tha in kadmo ko rokne ke liye. Is duvidha me bhi Jasleen ki chahat ek samaan badh he rahi thi.
'I love you..', Itna kehti wo phir se un char taadiyo wale pankhe ko niharne lagi jaise shunya me bhi waha Arjun ka he chehra ho.
.
.
Is tehkhane me kahi jyada he andhkar tha aur lambai agyaat. Seedhiyon se 4 jodi kadam niche is thandak bhare tehkhane me utarne lage toh ek pal ke liye jaise surya he prakashit ho gaya us shaksh ke saamne jo kursi par adhnangi halat me bandha tha. Kis band pade godam ka ye tehkhana 100 gaj ke kareeb lambai aur uske aadhi chaudai liye ek bada hall tha. Roshni se aankhen kuch abhyast hui toh apni taraf badhte kadmo ki disha me dhyaan gaya.
"Itne bhi shatir nahi ho ki hamari najar me na aao. Toh kaise ho Balbir Lohan? Suna hai chhena-jhaptti chhod kar ab logo ke katal karwane ke thekedar bann gaye ho.", Pandit Rameshwar Sharma ke sath unka pauta Sanjiv Sharma bhi hamesha ki tarah uchit patloon kameej aur chamde ke joote pehne is shaksh ke kareeb aa khada hua. Pandit ji ki awaaj he bahut rehti thi kisi bhi purane mujrim ko yaad dilane ke liye ki ye vyakti abhi tak un file par kaam jaari rakhe hai jo inke retirement tak adhuri thi. Police department khud inse gujarish karta tha apni sevayen dene ki, sa-shart aur natija bhi saamne tha. Jald he Pandit ji Lohan ke saamne rakhi kursi par baith gaye. Col sahab bhi DIG Nirmal Singh ke sath yaha maujud the.
"Pandit ji.. main aapke pariwar se koso dur raha hu. Wo.. woh toh Shankar ne humla kiya toh bachaav karna he pada. Dekhiye mujhe doctor aur vakeel ki jarurat hai, remand court me pesh karke bhi le sakte hai.", Lohan tha jigar wala chahe wo is shaksh se darta tha aur pata bhi tha ke yaha koyi maar-pitai wala kaam uske sath nahi kiya jayega.
"Dekho Balbir, maine tumhe 27 saal pehle ek chhoti si chori ke apradh me baksh diya tha kyonki ek mauka sabko milna chahiye. Badle me tumne kya kiya? Kaise adaa kiya us ehsaan ka badla jis se hum tumhe ek behtar vyakti banana chahte the? Aaj tum keh rahe ho ke mere pariwar se koso dur ho, lekin sach tumhe atche se pata hai bete. Galti ek baar hoti hai ya 2 baar, uske baad wo niyat aur aadat. Yaha sirf mere he pariwar ki badaulat tumhe nahi laya gaya hai kyonki wo log toh tumhe kuch samajhte he nahi. Jaante ho na mera ishara?", Ab kahi Lohan ka kanth sookh gaya tha. Aaj bhi Rameshwar ji ne usko bete keh kar pukara tha jaise 27 saal pehle usko thaane se riha karte hue kaha tha. Majboot apradhi ka bhi sar niche jhukan bata raha tha ki Pandit ji ne kabhi uske sath bura nahi kiya tha aur wo unhe he chott pahuchane me laga raha.
"Sir, main baat karne ki ijajat chahta hu is se.", Sanjiv ne apne he dada ko 'sir' keh kar sambodhit kiya tha aur Lohan ne is awaaj ko sunn kar Sanjiv ki taraf dekha jo manjuri milne ke baad ab thik Lohan ke saamne khada tha.
"Tum bache ho. Mujhse agar koyi baat karega toh wo Pandit ji.", Lohan ke aisa kehne par Sanjiv ke chehre par alag he bhaav aa gaye. Ek kutil muskaan liye wo Lohan ke samne jhuk gaya chehra kareeb karte hue.
"Hum 2 bhai hai Lohan aur dono he har kaam aise karte hai ki dekhne wale ko bas ek he najar aata hai. Jaante ho ye bachkana sa lagne wala andaaj humne kaha se seekha hai? Video game se. Main saamne rehkar goliyan chalata hu toh sabko lagta hai ke main he hu jo hu lekin unko wo nahi dikhta jo har taraf najar rakhe mujhko cover deta. Tum jaante ho mere bhai ko aur wo mujhse bhi chhota hai lekin abhi se tumhara baap hai.", Sanjiv ka andaaj kabile-gor tha aur Lohan har lafz ko dhyaan se sunn ne ke baad hairat se dekhne laga.
"Tum.. Tumhara chhota bhai Arjun Sharma hai matlab tum bhi Shankar ke bete ho? Yani Pandit ji ke paute?"
"Yaadasht bahot atchi hai tumhari aur haan wo mera bhai jisne tumhari patloon dur se he geeli kar di thi. Aur tum apne ka kitna bada turram khan samajhte ho jo 4 ghante me he pakad me aa gaye? Maar toh main tumhe vahi deta lekin aisa hai ke kuch sawal hai mere pas tumhare liye.", Sanjiv ne pushti kar di thi ki uski asliyat kya hai aur aisa wo tabhi karta tha jab insaan kareebi ho ya fir aise vyakti ko jeene ka adhikar he na ho.
"Arjun aur tum, dono he maare jaoge agar mujhe kuch bhi hua toh. Uska naam main pehle he bata chuka jisko batana jaruri tha."
"Aur wo badnaseeb bhi poore pariwar ke sath kal raat mara gaya. Kismat aisi he hai ya mehnat se itni buri banai hai? Aadmi bhejte ho toh unka accident ho jata hai, hamla karte ho toh khud ghayal ho jaate ho, jis par bharosa karte ho wahi duniya se chala jata hai... aakhir tum khud panauti ho ya aaspas sabhi manhoos log he hai tumhare? Ab gor se suno 4 sawaal aur unke badle me 4 sahi jawaab. Galati par jaan se nahi maarunga lekin tum bheek maangoge ki maut mil jaye.", Ab Rameshwar ji bhi idhar se uth kar thoda alag chale aaye. Lohan samajh nahi pa raha tha ke uske sath ho kya raha hai. Sanjiv ne usko bebas kar he diya tha.
"Tumne Shabnam ka sath Mohar Singh ke kehne par toh nahi diya tha kyonki tumhari najar me Mohar ki koyi ijjat nahi thi. Kiske kehne par tumne apne log bheje the Shabnam dwara batai vardat anjaam dene ke liye? Galat naam aur main bataunga ki tumhara pariwar bhi hai.", Sanjiv ne sawaal ke sath jo jikar kiya us se Lohan toh hairat me tha he Rameshwar ji bhi achambhe me padd gaye. Lohan ayyash apradhi tha jo giroh sargana tha. Uske biwi-bache the he nahi Pandit ji ki najar me ya kisi bhi vyakti ki.
"Jhooth jhooth hai ye.."
"Galat jawaab toh ab tumhare 3 bacho me se beech wala gaya. Beta hai na tumhara beech wala bacha? Badi beti fir choti beti aur beech me tumhara pyara beta."
"Nahi nahi.. unhe beech me laane ki jarurat nahi hai main sab jawaab dunga lekin mere pariwar tak nahi jaoge."
"Tum hamare pariwar ko khatam karne ke liye gunde bhejo jabki dada ji ke kitne ehsaan rahe hai lekin main aisa na karu. Ek waja do Lohan, bas ek wajah do aisa na karne ki? Sawaal wahi hai aur ab 5 sawaal honge.", Sanjiv ke chehre par aaya gussa bahot kuch bata raha tha. Baat farz ke sath sath pariwar ki thi aur in dono me he Sanjiv ne jiwan samarpit kiya tha.
"Shabnam sirf chehra dikhane ke liye bulai gayi thi. Aadmi maine Karam Singh ke kehne par bheje the kyonki wo chahta tha ki Shabnam ko bhi maar diya jaye lekin uski hatya alag dikhni chahiye.", Lohan ko jara bhi bhanak na thi ki is samay awaaj ke sath sath video bhi banai jaa rahi thi is tehkikaat ki. Chere par paseena chhalak aaya tha beshak yaha halki thandak thi.
"17 saal pehle mandir ke saamne humla tumne karwaya tha na Shankar chacha ke bete par? Aadmi samajhdar ho toh naam apne aap bata doge.", Itni purani ghatna par sawaal wo bhi Sanjiv ke mooh se sunn kar Rameshwar ji bhi pareshan hone lage the. Lekin iska sach unhone bhi jaan-na tha.
"Haan. Mera aadmi wahi mara gaya tha us ghatna ko anjaam dete hue. Sarang sahab ne us waqt ki sabse badi supari di thi mujhe, 10 lakh ki. Lekin 3 prayaas me bhi main asafal raha aur kisi aur jurm me jail pahuch gaya. Uske baad kabhi Sarang sahab se baat nahi hui.", Lohan ab is tafteesh me poora sath de raha tha. Uske pariwar ki salamat he jaise sabkuch thi aur apna anjaam wo jaise samajh chuka tha. Sarang Kumar ka naam sunn kar Rameshwar ji ke kandhe par Col sahab ne hath rakhte hue unhe shant rehne ka ishara diya.
"Toh wo nurse kaun thi jisne Narinder Sharma ke navjaat bete ko jehar diya tha?", Sanjiv jaise jajbati he hone laga tha kyonki kuch sawaal usko bhi pareshan kar rahe the.
"Main bilkul nahi jaanta aur jaisa lagta hai toh isme bhi Sarang Sahab ka hath hoga aur wo peeche saboot nahi chhodte. Main nahi jaanta us nurse ke baare me, apne pariwar ki saugandh.", Lohan ke aise bebasi waale chehre ko dekh kar Sanjiv ne gehri saans li aur khud ko shaant karne ki cheshta karne laga.
"Arjun Singh ke baare me kya jaante ho?", Ab Rameshwar ji ko bhi laga ke sawaal disha bhatak chuke hai aur Sanjiv ko ye parat nahi kholni chahiye. Lekin der ho chuki thi kyonki Lohan naam le chuka tha.
"Sarang sahab jawaab de sakte hai iska. Maine toh bas waha se 15 laash he uthai thi afsar lekin wo insaan chahta toh kisi ko bhi zinda na chhodta. Arjun Singh urf Ajju. Bemisaal aadmi tha wo jisko ek aurat ne aansuo ki aad me dhokhe se mara. Ek nihathe ne dhai darjan laashe 10 minute me bicha di thi aur unme aur bhi kayi naam judd jaate Sarang sahab samet he agar wo aurat Neelima aur Shalini naam le kar uske saamne na gidgidati. Bas uske baad un bhediyon ne koyi daya na dikhai us ghutno par gire yodha par. Main toh ek driver tha bas lekin us aurat ko bhool nahi sakta. Hatyara toh main bhi hu lekin mard ka hamesha samman kiya hai maine. Agar Sarang sahab tak na pahuch sako toh main thodi aur madad kar deta hu.", Lohan jaise mureed tha Ajju ka beshak ek apradhi tha par usko jaise wo ghatnakram shat-pratishat yaad tha. Ab Rameshwar ji uske kareeb aa chuke the.
"Ye Neelima wahi hai na jo xxxx shehar ke tehsildar ki beti thi?"
"Ji Pandit ji aur Sarang sahab ki eklauti bhanji bhi. Mujhe 4 ghante me dhoond liya toh isko 3-4 din me toh khoj he lenge. Waise kar aap bhi kuch nahi sakte Sarang sahab ke saamne.", Lohan ke kataaksh ka saaf matlab tha ki Sarang Kumar apne aap me he ek bada naam tha. Lekin yaha aaj Rameshar ji ka dimag sarak chuka tha apne ladle bete ka hatyakaand sunn kar.
"Balbir, tum baaki naam nahi le rahe ho. Aur iska matlab hai tum Sanjiv ki baat bhool gaye.", Itna sard kathan aur aankhon se nikalti ushma se Lohan bhi seham sa gaya tha.
"Zorawar, Bhawani, Chandarbhan, Karam Singh ke sath Avdhesh Mishra bhi shamil tha us sabme. Pandit ji, wo sabhi toh ab zinda nahi rahe aur inka kehna hai ki Avdhesh ji bhi maare gaye kal raat. Isliye ye naam nahi liye maine aur us aurat ko Sarang sahab apne sath he car me le gaye the lekin phir maine usko bhi kahi nahi dekha."
"Isko maar do Sanjiv aur iska pariwar bhi shayad iski asliyat se parichit nahi hai. Wo batana matt bhoolna.", Rameshwar ji uthne lage toh Lohan bifarta hua gidgidane he lag pada.
"Sach kehta hu Pandit ji ki main itna he janta hu. Mujhe beshak maar dijiye lekin mera pariwar sukoon se apni he alag duniya me hai, usko matt beech me laaye. Haan.. Ajju Singh ne us aurat ko kaaki keh kar pukara tha. 2 aur bhi jawan chehre the jo dur the lekin dono he jaise nayi suhagane thi. Ek patri ke sath wali diwar ke pare aur dusri aam ke junglaat se sab dekh rahi thi. Main nahi jaanta ke wo kaun thi. Mere pariwar ko baksh dijiye main hath joddta hu.", Rameshwar ji itna sunn kar shaant ho gaye the. Wo do nav-byahta unhe bhi maloom tha ke kaun thi lekin 'kaaki' ne uljha he diya.
"Nirmal Singh ji, Balbir ko uchit dekhrekh me dhyaan se rakhwaiye. Iski chikitsa ka prabandh bhi behtar ho ye jarur sunishchit kijiyega. Bete, hum aaj bhi apradh ko khatam karne me yakeen karte hai, apradhi ko nahi. Lekin ab tumhe sahi karavas bhogna hoga aur hum tumhare pariwar ki bhi uchit dekhbhal karenge.", Rameshwar ji ne ek bar fir apni dariyadili dikha di thi lekin Sanjiv abhi ashaant tha aur apne dada ji ke aise kehne par agla sawaal wo puch nahi sakta tha Lohan se.
"Pandit ji, is rehamdili ke badle ek baat aur batana chahta hu aapko.", 2 policewale abhi Lohan ko lene he aaye the aur hath khulte he usko dono taraf se pakad kar wahi ruk gaye.
"Batao aisi kya baat hai jo tum hume itne vishwas ke sath batana chahte ho?"
"Sushila Singh ki supari uthi hai 2 din pehle aur kaam karwane wala koyi unke he gaanv ka hai. Ho sake toh dekh lena shayad wo jo koyi bhi hai uske pas sabhi sawalo ka jawaab ho.", Ab Sanjiv ne ek lambi saans bhari aur apne dada ki taraf dekha.
"Tumne nahi li uski supari? Waise wo beti hai hamari toh usko hum kuch hone nahi denge Balbir."
"Behan mana hai maine bhi Sushila ko pandit ji. Bhawani jaisa bhi tha lekin mera khaas tha aur Sushila uske sath meri bhi badi behan rahi hai. Main pata he karwa raha tha lekin Shankar ne ye sab kar diya."
"Shankar se bach gaya ye atcha hua Balbir. Wo sawaal nahi karta aur hum jaan nahi lete. Dhanyawad is sehyog ke liye. Chalo Sanjiv, isko thik hone ke baad he pesh karna hai.", Pandit ji pehle he apne mitro aur paute ke sath nikal chale aur Lohan kadi suraksha me surakshit jagah pahucha diya gaya tha.
"Tum kehte ho ki Arjun bhi yaha tak pahuch gaya hai jaha tak Balbir ne jaankari di?", Pandit ji shaam ke dhundalke me ab ek taraf Sanjiv se guftgu kar rahe the aur Col sahab DIG ke sath.
"Ye Sushila ji wali jaankari nahi thi aur munna jaankari rakhta hai Arjun Singh wale ghatna ki lekin asli apradhi tak wo bhi nahi pahucha hai. Hum dono he mil kar kaam kar rahe the aur uska kehna hai aap bhi is maamle me sahayta kar sakte hai. Ab shayad wo aage khojbin na kare gharwalo ki wajah se lekin wo pata lagana chahta hai ki Arjun Singh ji ke sath asliyat me kya hua tha."
"Bete, mujhe bas is baat ka he darr tha kahi Arjun Ajju ko samajhne na nikal pade. Ye naam humne bhi kabhi jubaan par na aane dia kyonki is naam se humne ek naya beta paa liya tha. Balbir ki he kathni dekho, wo ek dushman ki sirf tareef he kar raha tha. Mujhe toh itna sab bhi maloom na chal paya tha ki kaise darindo ne ek saaf-dil insaan ko gher kar mara. Shaadi tak is maamle me koyi khojbin na karna bete aur Arjun ke sath main tumhari maujdgi me he araam se vichar karunga.", Rameshwar ji badi safaai se apni aankhon me aayi nami ko chhupa gaye. Aaj unke jakhm fir se hare ho gaye the aur wo kuch waqt apni dharampatni ka sath chahte the.
"Chalo bhai Satish ab ghar chalna chahiye. Kal Nirmal ke sath waise bhi golf ka karyakram toh hai he.", Unki baat par dono he idhar chale aaye aur Nirmal Singh ji ne bhi hath milate hue abhaar jataya aur ye apne ghar ke liye nikal chale. Sanjiv ka bhi antarman vyathit tha jaise aaj wo is mamle me bas kuch he duri par atak gaya tha lekin sach ye bhi tha ki Lohan ne khud sari jaankari di thi unhe. Ab intjaar tha toh Arjun ka jiske saamne unke dada ji shayad is rehasyamayi purush ka purn ullekh kare.

Halka andhkar hone par Sangwan ke farmhouse se Bhuppi, Mehul, Param aur bade Sangwan ji ja chuke the. Shankar ko bhi Narinder ne Bhuppi ke he ghar bhej diya tha jis se wo ab araam kar sake. Tarantaal me Narinder ke sath Umed ki alag he daud jaari thi. Aadha ghanta uchit gati se tairne ke baad dono he kinare aa ruke toh bahar baithe Daleep ne he sulagti ciggratte Umed ki taraf badhai.
"Marne ka irada hai kya Daleep bhai? Saans chadhi hui hai aur aap ye pila do. Raat haseen hone wali hai kal ki tarah, Rajesh ko bula lijiye aap tab tak hum dono bhi tayaari kar lete hai.", Daleep ke chehre par chamak aa gayi thi naya mission sunn kar.
"Aaj kaha dhava bolna hai?"
"Aaj dhava nahi bolna Daleep bhai, sendh lagani hai.", Ye baat Narinder ne kahi thi Umed ki jagah. Dono ke he balisht sharir bhigne par kahi jyada he aakarshak lag rahe the. Narinder aur Umed ne hamesha he sharir ko mehatava diya tha har jaruri cheej ke sath.
"Toh usme Rajesh ko kyu bulana? Sendh lagane ke liye toh main akela he bahot hu bas jagah aur aadmi batao.", Daleep ke aatmvishwas ko dekh kar Umed aur Inder muskurane lage.
"Rajesh ka sath chalna bahot jaruri hai bhai. Ye samajh lo ke waha sendh lagane wali chaabi Rajesh he hai aur baaki kaam hum teeno ne karna hai.", Narinder ki niyantrit baat sunn kar Daleep ne aashwasan me sar hila diya.
"Badlo bhai tum log kapde pehno aur itni he der me wo bhi aa jayega.", Daleep kash lagata hua building ke andar chala gaya aur peeche ye dono ek dusre ko dekhne lage.
"Toh tumhe ummeed hai ki Karam Singh ke ghar se humko jaankari milegi?", Umed ne ye sawal karne ke sath he bahar rakhi baniyan se khud ko saaf karna shuru kar dia. Sachmuch ek datiyakar insaan he tha Umed Singh aur sadhe 6 feet kad sirf lambai maatra nahi, jism bhi utna he bejod tha. Kam toh Narinder bhi nahi tha bas dikhne me wo ek tagda khoobsurat abhineta lagta tha.
"Ummeed nahi main yakeen se kehta hu ke Karam Singh ke ghar humko bahot se sawalo ke jawaab milne wale hai Gajju. Wo akela reh raha tha aur uski maa Damyanti bhi ab udhar nahi rehti. Mujhe lagta hai ke wo bilkul sahi jagah hai chhanbin ki."
"Aur Rajesh ka is sabse kya lena dena?"
"uski car ka lena dena hai bhai. Wo wahi khadi karenge jaha Karme ka katal hua tha. Daleep najar rakhega aur hum teeno uske ghar ki chhanbin karenge.", Narinder ne wahi apna geela kachha utarte hue apni baniyan se us khaas hisse ko sukhane ka upkram kiya aur aise he nirvastra ghaas par chalta kapdo ke pas aa gaya. Umed bhi samaan awastha me tha aur jald he dono patloon pehan kar hatho se he baal sukhane lage. Aaj shayad ye ek sahi thikane par sendh lagane chale the aur ye bhi ho sakta tha ki unhe aisa kuch mile jis se kadmo ke niche ki jameen hil jaaye. Ab bas raat haseen hone ka intjaar tha Rajesh ke aane ke sath sath.

Market me kharidi karne aur ghoomne firne me he raat ke 8 baj gaye the in teeno ko. Arjun ne dinner ke liye agli market jaane ka kaha toh dono he behno ne saaf inkaar kar diya. Aaj pehli bar in dono ladkiyon ne poore 50 hajaar ka samaan kharid liya tha aur Arjun ka purse abhi tak jyo ka tyo tha. Ye paise usko maa se mile the aur sath he daadi ke diye 200000 shesh the.
"Ye halka fulka khaane ke chakkar me Aarti ne meri toh jaan he nikaal di. Main toh dinner nai karne wali."
"Mera bhi haal aisa he hai hai Alka. Peit me jara si bhi jagah nahi hai aur araam ki talab kuch jyada he ho rahi hai. Maa ka samaan savere he sametenge.", Dono ki aisi halat dekh Arjun hansta hua unhe liye ghar wapis aa gaya. Sachmuch aaj Alka aur Aarti ne dil khol kar samaan kharida tha, sirf apne liye he nahi balki Ritu, Preeti, Komal ke sath sabhi behno ke liye. Romela ji ka bhi samaan ek alag gatte ke bakse me band karke wahi pichli seat par rakha tha. Car jaise he ghar ke saamne ruki toh Afsana aur Zubeidaa bhi scootry se aa pahuchi.
"Ye Afsu ke itni raat me aane ki wajah didi?", Car se nikalte he Aarti ne Zubeida didi se sawaal kiya jo sab bhula kar Arjun se gale lag kar mili.
"Kyu? Pehle bhi toh tumhare sath rahi hai na raat me. Aur ye janaab toh Eid ho gaye hai. Shehar me bhi hai lekin sehan me nahi.", Zubeidaa ki baat par Arjun kya jawab deta jabki usko khud atcha lag raha tha unse gale milna. Koyi 30 second tak wo waise he gale lage rahe.
"Abba intjaar me honge baji.", Afsana toh is waqt bhi salwar kameej ke sath mooh par dupatta liye the.
"Oh meri Benajir Bhutto, jisko dekhne aayi hai kam se kam apna toh istakbaal karwa de. Dhyaan rakhna iska tum sabhi, aajkal jara kaayde me nahi hai madam.", Zubeida ne bina kisi ki parwah ke Arjun ka gaal choomne ke baad aisa he Aarti aur Alka ke sath kiya aur wapis chali gayi. Afsana larajti hui Aarti ke sath andar chali gayi.
"Tum ruka jara yaha.", Alka ne Arjun ka hath thaam liya. Wo jaise is pal me Ritu he bann gayi thi.
"Kya hua didi.?", Besakhta Arjun ke mooh se bhi didi he nikla aur Alka thoda gambhir ho gayi.
"Ishq bahot kuch badal deta hai mere bhai aur aaj main 2 ghante Afsana ke ghar rahi hu. Ye tumse koyi alag he ishq kar baithi hai dhyaan rakhna."
"Matlab"?
"Isme aur Ritu me sie kisi ek ko ko chun na pade toh?"
"Kya vahiyaat sawaal hai. Saari duniya ek taraf aur Ritu ek taraf. Zindagi ka aakhiri saans bhi lu toh wo bas Ritu ke aagosh me. Aisa fir kabhi matt kehna."
"Maan liya. Preeti aur isme se?"
"Wo jaan hai meri. Aap hamesha mere sath ho Ritu ki tarah lekin sanvara toh mujhe aur Preeti ko aapne bhi hai. Ye sawaal jayaj nahi hai. Waise bhi maine abhi tak Afsana se baat nahi kari hai."
"Baat karna Arjun. Ye Ishq kuch khaas dikh raha hai aur agar bandishe todd gaya toh qayamat na ho jaye. Zubeida ki baat alag hai, wo tumhe pyaar karti hai aur uski koyi chahat nahi hai tumse. Afsana toh jaise ek paheli he hai, suljhane me he nahi aa rahi.", Alka ne baat khatam karte hue thande ki bottle, milk badaam aur thoda khaane peene ka saman car se nikala aur ghar ke andar chali aayi. Arjun sath he tha is pal me. Aaj wo pehli baar Alka ko khul kar nahi bata paya tha us asadharan shann ke baare me jo usko Afsana ko dekh kar hua tha. Ye romanch kahi kuch aur he na karwa de.
"yar Alka main toh thodi der araam karte hue tv dekhne lagi hu.", Aarti ab dheele vastro me thi aur Afsana ne pehli baar naqaab hataya tha is tarah gairo ki maujdgi me. Alka bhi un sunehari aankhon se sammohit si ho gai.
"Wow. Tum haseen ho yar. Ghar par bhi tumne naqaab liya hua tha din me."
"Waha hum mehfooj nahi the us waqt. Chacha ke sath unke bhi dost aaye hue the dopehri ke khaane par. Hume atcha nahi lagta koyi hume cheej samjhe aur paymaaish kare.", Afsana ki muskurahat toh sachmuch kamaal thi. kandhari anaar se surkh honth, wo nakkashidar chehra aur jism dhaka hua.
"yar tum na mera test le rahi ho. Mujhe tumse pyaar ho gaya toh please gaali matt dena.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Aarti bhi hans di. Arjun unke peeche se kamre me ja chuka tha apne.
"Myassar karna gar chehra dekh kar ho toh iltija hai, khwahishe ahduri aise he raha karti hai. Aapne sirf hamara chehra dekha aur ishq farmane ki hidayat kar di. Hum kabile-gor nahi hai chehre se niche.", Chhui-mui si Afsana aaj behtar bol rahi thi aur ye asar kuch Alka ka bhi tha. Alka thi he aisi jo kahi na kahi sabse tej yuvti thi is pariwar me.
"Dekho darling, abhi toh araam karne ka dil hai mera. Raat 11-12 tak tumhe jarur utha dungi apni neend poori karne ke baad.", Alka ne itna kaha aur wo Aarti ke kamre ki taraf badh chali. Arjun track pajama aur tshirt pehne ek bada cartoon samaan ka bhare darwaje se bahar nikal gaya. Aarti dekhti rahi aur waisi he najar Afsana ki thi. Arjun apni chachi ka bataya samaan car ki lambi dikki me sahi tarah se rakhne laga. Usne yahi thik samjha tha samay bachane ke hisab se.
"Yar agar tujhe bura na lage toh Arjun ke liye doodh garam kar dena. Main bas naha lu kyonki halki thakavat ho rahi hai phir araam se kamre me he baatein karenge.", Ab Aarti ke bhi hath khade ho gaye the. Savere 5 baje jaagne ke baad usne bhi araaam kaha kiya tha.
"Inhe doodh ki jarurat hogi toh hum dekh lenge. Waise Alka didi agar aapke bister par sone gayi hai toh hum kaha neend farmaye?"
"Agar dikkat na ho toh wahi aa jana mere kamre me. Priyanka didi ka bhi kamra khaali hai in case tumhe dikkat ho toh hum dono didi wale kamre me so jayenge.", Aarti bata he rahi thi aur Arjun wapis kamre ki aur chal diya. Wo jaise thaan chuka tha ki abhi sab samaan dikki me bhar dega.
"Let the kite go it's own way honey. Mushayre ke bahar toh humne sabhi shayar sharabi dekhe hai. Aap araam farmaye, hum Priyanka baaji ke kamre me he araam farma lenge.", Ab toh Aarti ka bhi maatha thanak gaya tha. Ye Arjun ka asar tha toh bhugatana usko he tha. Lekin wo kya he kehti is pyaari gudiya ko.
"Jaha dil kare waha mehfil laga lenge sanam tumhare sath.", Aarti ne bas itna he kaha aur khilkhilati hui Priyanka didi ke kamre wale bathroom me chali gayi. Alka bhi araam karne se pehle nahane he lagi thi aur Arjun apni chachi ka samaan gatte ke bakse me sahi se jama raha tha. Wo savere ke bharose kuch chhodne wala nahi tha aur waise bhi kal usko Jagtar bhai se dhero baatein karni thi.
"Aap jab kahiyega hum doodh garam kar denge.", Arjun inhi najro se bachne ke liye toh kaam me masroof tha lekin waah ri kismat. Pehle Afsana ke ghar se dur raha, phir usko bahar bhi niharne se bachta raha aur ghar me aate he wo samaan ke sath lag gaya. Afsana khud he chal uski taraf toh aane se rahi, yahi socha tha aur ye soch Afsana ne he badal di. Wo sunehari aankhein aur tambai baal uski najro ke saamne the. Jubaan jaise lakwa maar gayi aur aankhen sthirr. Afsana ki bhi dhadkan badhne lagi toh wo bina jawaab sune Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi. Darwaja band karke wo bister par baithi bas Arjun ke chehre ko yaad kar rahi thi. Har bar kyo dono he khamosh ho jaate hai ek dusre ko dekhne par?
"Oh madam ji, kaha khoyi ho? Waise sach kahu toh tumhe aaj pehli bar he din me dekha tha aur koyi itna khoobsurat bhi ho sakta hai iska andaja bilkul nahi tha.", Alka bathroom se bahar aayi toh bas ek ghutno tak ki dheeli nikkar aur jaangho tak lambai wali tshirt pehne thi. Andruni vastro ka abhaav nukile nipple saaf bata rahe the. Afsana ne bhi Alka ko dhyaan se dekha toh uski lambai, kamar se niche tak aate baal, badaami chehra aur sharir ke itne jabardast kataav se wo bhi prabhavit hue bina na reh saki. Uski badi behan bhi ek behtareen yuvti thi jiske sondarya ki paribhasha hajaro aankhen karti rahi lekin Alka bhi khaas thi.
"Aap hamari tareef kar he hai? Jo khud aafreen ho unke saamne toh hum kuch bhi nahi.", Jis tarah Afsana ke honth najakat se hilte the, Alka ko bada atcha lagta tha dekhna. Chehre par khushi aa gayi thi apne aap he.
"Aisi baat nahi hai Afsana. Jaisa suna thi ki tum naqaab ya burka pehne rehti ho hamesha toh mere dimaag me kuch aur he tasvir bann gayi thi. Aarti ne thoda bahot he bataya tha tumhare baare me aur kuch mujhe Priyanka didi ne bataya. Aaj tumhe saamne dekha toh wo sabhi khayaal gayab he ho gaye. Tum kisi Arab desh ki rajkumari si ho, bilkul gudiya si.", Alka goad me takiya liye bister par baith gayi. Ab Afsana ke chehre par halki laali aa chuki thi. Ye thode bahot badlaav usme kuch samay se aaye the aur Zubeidaa baaji ne he usko nikhara tha.
"Wo hum aaj bhi pehante hai baaji, aapne dopehari me dekha he tha. Bas jaha jaruri ho waha. Waise ammijaan hamari paidaish par Marrakesh-Safi thi, ye Morocco ka ek shehar hai aur hamare chashm (eyes) wahi ki saugaat hai.", Alka ne is jaankari par jaise he Afsana ka wo safed mom sa hath thama toh ek pal me he uske chehre par thodi bechaini si aa gayi.
"Yar ek toh main baaji-didi nahi hu, dost hu jaise Aarti hai. Aur tum khaas ho jo pehli najar me he pata lag jata hai. Itna darti kyu ho waise? Main ladki hu aur mere hath pakadne par tumhe ghabrahat nahi honi chahiye.", Alka ne ab apne dusra hath bhi Afsana ki hatheli ke upar rakh diya.
"Wo Zubeidaa baaji kehti hai ke is daur me kisi ka eitbaar nahi."
"Hahaha.. arre yar sachmuch tum masoom ho. Tumhari didi se aaj maine ek ghante se jyada baatein ki hai waha tumhare ghar. Unhe sabse jyada maja aata hai tumhe satane me aur tum unki kahi har baat ko sach maan leti ho. Wo bata rahi thi ki tum kitni majhab ki pakki ho aur college me hone ke bawjood abhi tak jyada duniya ki khabar nahi rakhti.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Afsana jhemp gayi lekin halki narajgi bhi thi mann me apni badi behan ke liye.
"Aur unhone aapse kya kaha hamare baare me?"
"Bata rahi thi ki tum kitni pyaari ladki ho. Lekin aaj ke jamane me tumhara yahi life-style pareshani paida kar sakta hai. Unhe iski tension rehti hai aur wo tumhe dhire dhire badalne ki koshish bhi kar rahi hai. Waise tum galat nahi ho Afsana bas ye life ghar ki char diwari se thodi bahar bhi hai. Suna hai pehle toh tum ghar se akeli bahar bhi nahi nikli yaha tak aane ke liye?", Ab Afsana ko jaise khud par he thodi sharmindgi hone lagi. Alka ka hath sehlana usko protsahit karne laga bolne ke liye.
"Hum khaufjada the aur abhi bhi hum akele bahar nahi nikalte. Ghar se bahar ek Aarti he hai jinke sath hamara kuch wajood hai."
"Darr? Agar chaho toh mujhse baat kar sakti ho aur baatein apne aap tak he rakhna jyada dukh deti hai. Darr insaan ko kamjor he banata hai dost. Haadse sabke sath hote hai, kisi ke sath chhote kisi ke sath bade lekin kya hum unhe yaad rakh kar ghutan me jinda rahe? Ye toh aur bhi dukhdayi hoga. Agar phir bhi tumhe lagta hai main galat keh rahi hu toh maaf kar dena. Mujhe shayad sahi andaja nahi hai ke tumne kya jhela hai."
"Humne kuch bhi nahi jhela hai. Bas kuch bure log ladkiyon ki asmat-aabru par he nigaah rakhte hai. Kya yahi insaaniyat hai bahar duniya me?", Afsana ke shabdo se he pata chalta tha ki wo kitni saral ladki hai aur uska darr har aadmi ke liye tha jo galat najar rakhta ho.
"Tum galat nahi keh rahi ho Afsana lekin har insaan bura nahi hota. Kuch chahat se dekhte hai aur kayi galat iraado se lekin kisi ki koyi majaal nahi jabtak ladki majboot rahe. Tumhe bas apni life aur khushiyan dekhni chahiye na ki aise log jo maayne nahi rakhte. Main bhi college jaati hu aur hum 7 behne hai waha ghar par. Dekhne wale dekhenge aur humko unse koyi matlab nahi. Waise tumne sirf aisa he dekha hai ya kuch bura bhi?", Ye Alka thi jo baal ki khaal nikal leti thi aur saamne wale ko pata bhi nahi chalta tha.
"Zubeidaa baaji ko ek baar kisi ne sataya tha. Hum school me the us waqt aur baaji college ke pehle saal me. Wo ladke galat iraade rakhte the aur baaji ne kabhi unhe najar bhi nahi kiya jaisa aap kehti hai. Phir bhi unhone unki asmat kharaab karni chahi, Narinder chacha ji na hote toh baaji ke sath kuch bhi ho sakta tha. Ab bataye ki agar baat is hadd tak chali jaaye toh kya hoga? Har baar toh koyi nek banda hifajat ke liye maujood nahi ho sakta."
"Toh humko he hifajat karni chahiye apni. Waise tumhare liye toh main bhi ek pal behak sakti hu.", Alka ne jo jaankari leni thi wo lene ke baad ab mahol badalne ki ye masti bhari baat keh di. Ek pal ke liye Afsana ka chehra he safed ho gaya.
"Tauba. Baaji sahi kehti hai ke jamane ke sath bahot kuch badal raha hai. Aap aise vichar rakhti hai hamare baare me?"
"Hahaha.. Kisi din tumhe pyaar ho gaya na sahi ladke se toh pakka tum uski baahon me he saans todd dogi. Yar ladki ho kar ek ladki se ghabra rahi ho tum. Hahaha.. majaak kar rahi hu aur dost masti bhi nahi karte kya aapas me?", Ab Afsana ke chehre par thodi sharam aur wahi gulabi rangat aa chuki thi.
"Hum ishq me yakeen nahi karte aur aisi baatein atchi nahi lagti.", Abhi wo aage kuch kehti us se pehle he darwaje par dastak hui. Alka khadi hone lagi toh Afsana ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Aapke bhai bhi ho sakte hai aur jaha tak hume lag raha hai aapne andruni kapde nahi pehne hai seene par. Ye chaadar le lijiye, hum kholte hai darwaja.", Alka ki hansi chhoot gayi itna sunn kar. Phir khud ko shaant karti hui wo Afsana ki baat samajh gayi. Sahi keh rahi thi kyonki Arjun ke sath Alka ke khaas rishtey ka usko pata bhi nahi hona chahiye.
"Shehjadi sahiba, doodh ubal kar bahar nikal gaya. Atchi baat hai ki samay rehte maine dekh liya nahi toh ho gaya tha aaj kaam.", Ye Aarti thi aur thik Alka jaise kapdo me bas abhi seene par bra pehni hui thi tshirt ke andar.
"Oh maaf karna, hum baaton me masroof ho gaye the Alka baaji ke sath. Aapne doodh de diya apne bhai ko?"
"Ubalta hua he de du kya? Waise darwaja band kyu tha yaha?", Aarti ko ab wo kaise batati ki Arjun ne bechain kar diya tha aur khud ko shaant karne wo is kamre me chali aayi thi.
"Aap baithiye idhar, hum bhi kapde badal kar aa jaate hai Priyanka baaji ke kamre se.", Aarti andar jaane ki jagah hansti hui Arjun ki taraf chal di aur Afsana ne Priyanka didi ke kamre ke andar jaate he darwaja band kar liya.
"Haan toh abhi tak kaam khatam nahi hua tumhara?", Arjun ab ye paanchva baksa bhar raha tha. Aarti ke andar aate he darwaja lagane par uska dhyaan taja nahai hui apni behan par gaya toh ek kashish se wo dekhta he raha.
"Iraade nek nahi hai lekin aaj kismat me shayad pyaar karna bhi nahi likha.", Arjun wapis kapdo ko attachi me aur kitabo ko bakse me bharne laga. Aarti dabe paanv uski taraf aati peeche se lipat gayi. Naram ubharo ka wo sparsh aur aise unka lipatna bata raha tha ki chahat Aarti ki bhi wahi hai.
"Raat ko Alka ke pas chale jana."
"Main yahi sone wala Aarti aur jab bhi aane ka dil ho toh yahi aa jana, savdhani se.", Arjun ne palat kar Aarti ko apni baahon me samet liya. Geele hontho par ek minute tak Arjun ke hontho ne bharpoor pyar jataya. Phir araam se dono he dur ho gaye.
"Mere aur didi ke kapde bhi maine bag me rakh liye hai. Jagah hogi itni car me?"
"Car ki dikki abhi bhi aadhi khali hai aur kuch samaan main andar bhi rakh lunga. 10 bajne wale hai toh ab aapko araam karna chahiye.", Arjun bhi jaanta tha ki Aarti aaj raat uske sath rehna chahti thi. Lekin Afsana ke aane ka bhi Arjun ko bura nahi laga tha. Agle 10 minute me wo dono bag aur bakse liye bahar chal diya. Hall paar karte he saamna Bholi begam se hua.
"Aaj raat main yahi sone wali hu. Aarti kaha hai?", Arjun chaah kar bhi sar pe hath na rakh saka. Bas iski he kami thi.
"Andar apne kamre me, tumhara he intjaar kar rahi hai wo.", Gurdeep ke maje lete hue Arjun ne usko andar jaane ko kaha aur hansta hu car ki taraf chal diya. Ye sab samaan aa chuka tha aur ab bas Aarti-Priyanka ke bag laa kar rakhne the. Dikki band karke wo wapis andar chala aaya toh Aarti ke kamre se aati awaajon ne bata diya tha ki Radio chalu ho chuka hai. Priyanka didi ke kamre ka band darwaja dhakelte hue wo andar aaya toh zero ki maddim roshni thi abhi.
'Ye kari hai packing inhone. Chain tak band nahi ki.', Arjun bedhyaani me bas in upar tak bhare bag ko band karne me laga tha aur bathroom ka darwaja khulne ki awaaj jaise sunaai he na padi. Afsana bhi wo bada toliya lapete apni he dhunn me bed tak chali aayi jaha uski poori aasteen ki tshirt aur pajama rakha tha, raat ko pehan ne ke liye. Ab toliya utaar kar bister par rakha toh saansein atak gayi. Bed ke dusri taraf bag me kapde dabata Arjun bhi sunn pad chuka tha neeli roshni me is jaanleva manjar ko dekhte he. Ujle rang ki poore cup wali naram bra aur waisi he rangat ki panty me uske saamne Afsana ka hahakari youvan tha. Afsana hosh me aati us se pehle he Arjun badi teji se kamre bahar nikal gaya. Spring wala darwaja wapis band ho gaya tha.
Afsana ki aankhon me paani aa chuka tha hosh me aate he. Jaise taise kapde pehan kar wo kuch der wahi bister par baithi rahi. Antarman maan he nahi raha tha ke aisa bhi kuch hua hai. Arjun ki aankhein us pal me bhi Afsana ka chehra he dekh rahi thi. Ye yaad aate he Afsana ko halka araam hua lekin dil yahi keh raha tha ke Arjun kya soch raha hoga uski is besharmi par aur ab wo kaise uska saamna karegi. Is haalat me toh aajtak Aarti ne bhi kabhi usko nahi dekha tha. Bujhe mann se wo ek baar aur apna chehra saaf karke Alka-Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi.
Gurdeep toh aadat anusaar patar patar kari ja rahi thi aur Alka ko bhi uski baatein sunn ne me maja aa raha tha. Uski bholi baatein, punjabi kisse aur chehre ke manmohak bhaav kisko pasand na aate. Gurdeep bebaki se Alka ki bagal me aa leti toh Aarti bhi khadi ho gayi.
"11 baj chuke hai madam, ab sona chahiye. Savere 6 baje tak uth gaye toh bhi atcha hai.", Yaha bhi Afsana khamosh he thi aur itne shor me kisi ka bhi dhyaan nahi gaya tha us par.
"Haan yar lekin main toh Alka ke pas soungi. Tu apni gulabo ke sath so, waise bhi wo har waqt sharmati rehti hai.", Gurdeep ki baat par Aarti bhi hansti hui dono ko be bol kar dusre kamre me chali aayi Afsana ke sath.
"Tum leit jao, main jara bahar darwaja dekh aati hu.", Aarti ke kehne par Afsana bister ke dusri taraf khamoshi se karwat ke bal leti gayi. Aankhen khuli thi aur mann vichlit. Ye tabtak shaant nahi hone wala tha jabtak wo Arjun se baat nahi kar leti.Afsana ke liye uski ijjat he jaise zindagi thi aur usko katai ye kabool na tha ke Arjun ke mann me uski koyi galat chhavi bane. Udhar Aarti ne bahar wale darwaje par andar se tala laga paya toh wo hall ke darwaje ko bhi chitakni lagati hui apne kamre me aa gayi. Ghar ki jyadatar roshni ab band ho chuki thi, bas zero ke bulb jagmag the.
"So gayi Afsa? Sorry yar, thakaan ki wajah se mujhe bhi neend aa rahi hai aur tere sath time nahi bita saki.", Cooler ki jyada awaaj na thi jis se Afsana ko sunai na diya ho lekin wo khamosh he rahi aur Aarti ne bhi patli chaadar apne upar audh li. 10 minute se pehle he wo gehri neend me ja chuki thi. Yahi haal barabar wale kamre ka tha jaha Alka Gurdeep ke sath bade araam se so rahi thi. Gaanv se shehar ka lamba safar, fir yaha tak ka safar aur shaam ko atchi bhaag-daud ke baad ab jara bhi himmat na bachi thi in dono me. Sadhe 11 ka waqt ho chala toh Afsana bade ehtiyaat se uth khadi hui. Rasoi me abhi tak doodh ka patila chulhe par tha aur jayaj garam bhi. Ek gilas nivaye doodh ka liye wo dhadakte dil aur kaampte kadmo se Arjun ke kamre tak chali aayi. Neend Arjun ki aankhon se bhi koso dur thi aur is sannatte me lamp ki roshni tale wo jaane kya padhne me vyast tha.
"Aapko doodh dena bhool gaye the.", Itna bhi jaane wo kitni himmat se keh paayi aur Arjun ne ek pal ke liye Afsana ko dekha aur hatho se gilas le kar wahi table par rakhte hue kaha.
"Sorry Afsana, mujhe bilkul bhi nahi pata tha ki udhar aap hongi. Main aapke liye koyi galat khayal nahi rakhta aur wo sab anjaane me ho gaya.", Afsana itna sunn kar jaise baraf si thandi padd gai. Pichle dedh ghante se wo bas yahi soch rahi thi ki usne ek bahot badi galti kar di hai jiska anjaam jaane kya hoga lekin yaha saamne se Arjun maafi maang raha tha. Afsana ko yu khamosh dekh Arjun ne pehli bar usko hath lagaya. Nivaye doodh ko pakadne se wo mom se mulayam hath bhi halke garam the.
"Dekhiye main jaanta hu ke aapko kitna bura lag raha hoga lekin sachmuch jo hua wo anjaane me hua. Aapko dukhi karne ka paap main bhool kar bhi nahi kar sakta lekin agar phir bhi aapko lagta hai wo sab maine jaanboojh kar kiya hai toh saja de sakti hai. Aainda main apna chehra bhi saamne nahi launga.", Arjun ne itna kehte hue hath chhoda toh Afsana ko laga jaise uski rooh he jism se juda ho gayi. Kis sammohan me thi wo ye khabar na thi lekin aaj wo Arjun se bhaagna nahi chahti thi.
"Aapki najro me humne kabhi galat iraade nahi dekhe Arjun. Hum yaha aapse maafi maangne aaye the jo hua uske liye. Hum behaya nahi hai jo andruni kapdo me jism-numaish kare. Ilm hota ki aap waha hai toh hum bahar he na nikalte.", Dheemi awaaj me apna dard bayaan karti Afsana ki sunehari aankhon se bhi dard chhalakne laga. Uski masoomiyat aur saafdili dekh Arjun ko ab jyada he bura lag raha tha. Aankhon me wo aansu jab dil ko dard dene lage toh Arjun ne khade ho kar Afsana ko seene se laga liya. Ye harkat wo kabhi nahi kar sakta tha aur Afsana bhi kabhi aisa kadam nahi leti. Lekin ye pal jaise apvaad tha dono ke liye. Afsana ke chehre ko apne seene se lagaaye wo bade pyar se uska sar thaame khada raha.
"Aap galat nahi ho sakti Afsana aur sach kahu toh main kabhi aapko thes nahi pahuchana chahta. Ye kismat kya khel khel rahi hai mujhe bilkul nahi pata. Main dur rehna chahta hu aapse kyonki jaanta hu aap ek behad shaleen aur saaf-dil masoom yuvti hai. Jo hua hai usko main thik toh nahi kar sakta lekin aapke aansu mujhe gunehgar bata rahe hai.", Arjun ke wo pakad bhi jaise jaanti thi ki aagosh me ek khaas yuvti hai. Bahupash ke jagah ye pakad sirf pyaar bhari thi. Afsana ke hath bhi Arjun ki peeth par the aur wo ab kuch sukoon me thi.
"Aap gunehgar ho bhi nahi sakte Arjun aur hume aapke didar se pareshani nahi hai. Bas darr hai ke aap hamare baare me galat khayaal na bana baithe.", Afsana ke dono hath ab Arjun ki bagal me the aur chehra seene par ek taraf rakhe wo niche dekh rahi thi. Arjun bhi ek sukoon se bhar chuka tha Afsana ko apne seene se lagaye. Jab aage koyi aur baat na hui toh Afsana ko dono ki haalat ka bhaan hua. Wo aaj pehli baar kisi gair ke gale lagi thi, wo bhi ek purush ke. Sharir halka kasamasaya toh Arjun ne he kadam peeche hata liye.
"Sorry. Aapki aankhon me aansu dekh kar pata nahi chala."
"Shukriya. Aur hume bura nahi laga.", Afsana ne najre jhukaye ye chhota sa jawaab diya aur jaane ke liye abhi mudi he thi ki Arjun ki baat sunn kar halchal mach gayi.
"Waise aap saafdil hone ke sath he hadd se jyada khoobsurat hai. Naqaab me raha kijiye, dekhne wale ki nazar bhi aisi khoobsurti ko maila kar sakti hai.", Arjun abhi bhi khada he tha aur Afsana ke palatne par phir se wo unhi aankhon ko dekhne laga jo itni der se jhuki hui thi.
"Aapke dekhne se hum maile nahi honge aur ab hume aapke saamne naqaab rakhne ki jarurat bhi nahi lagti. Neend farmaye, hum bhi jaate hai.", Is baar jaane se pehle Afsana ne jis taraf hath se salaam karte hue Arjun ko dekha tha wo gehra asar kar gaya. Afsana khud he uska darwaja band karti hui chali gai.
'Ab nahi aata kabhi punjab. Jis se bachna tha wahi raat ko saamne aa gai. Bhagwaan isko mat pyaar hone dena mujh jaise insaan se.', Arjun khud se itna bolta hua takiya dabaye bister par leit gaya. Ab bechaini nahi thi aur aankhen jald he band ho gayi. Raat ke kisi pehar wo mansal badan Arjun se lipta toh dheemi raftar se ek lamba sansarg shuru ho gaya is band kamre me.

"Ye sandook khol yar Gajju.", Gaanv ke is band pade ghar me bahar jitni khamoshi thi us se jyada chehal pehal is band kamre me thi. Torch ki roshni me Umed, Daleep ke sath Narinder har cheej ko bade dhyaan se jaanch raha tha. Yaha unhe kuch jaankari toh mili thi lekin wo utni bhi khaas nahi thi. Kone me rakha wo lohe ka bada sandook dekhna baaki tha. Umed ne pechkas se bina tala khole he sandook ka kabja nikal diya.
"Sala ye Karam Singh akela he rehta tha kya? Na biwi na bache aur baaki dono kamre toh aise khaali the jaise unki jarurat he na padi ho kabi. Chal tu dekh andar kya hai, main roshni deta hu.", Sandook ke dhakkan ko pakde Umed torch se roshni dikhane laga aur Narinder ne wo rajaai nikal kar ek taraf rakh di. Yaha ab bahot kuch tha us rajaai ko hatane ke baad. 2 purani album, kuch khatt, shwet-shyaam tasvire aur kuch asla jo purana tha.
"Bandook aur khanjar par hath mat lagana. Dekh hathhi par plastic bandha hua hai.", Umed ne jaise he chetaya toh Narinder ne rumaal se dono he cheej pakad kar charpai par rakh di. Ek lakdi ka baksa bhi tha jispar chhota sa tala laga tha. Aise bakse jyadar suhagane ya yuvtiya purane samay me saaj-sajja ka samaan rakhne ke liye prayog karti thi.
"Ye bahot he purana baksa hai be Gajju. Aisa ek tere bhi ghar tha aur meri maa ke pas bhi. Tala laga hai toh matlab ye kaam ki cheej hai."
"Haan toh nikal le na. Chal kar araam se dekhenge kaunsi sone ki bindi aur chaandi ki libstick hai isme. Wo tabeej bhi utha jo is kagaj ke niche hai."
"Ye kagaj nahi photo hai aur ye toh dhibri (mori) wala sikka hai dhaage me bandha.", Inder ne wo dono cheej uthane ke baad tabeej jeb me aur tasvir charpayi par rakh di. Itne me he Daleep ki awaaj par dhyaan gaya.
"Idhar dekho bhai kya mila. Ye is photo ke peeche tha aur bhi kaagaj hai is folder me.", Diwar par tangi us haar chadhi purani tasvir ke peeche se Daleep ko ek bada packet aur ye tasvir mili thi jisme 8 jawaan aadmi the. Ek ke chehre par gol ghera banaya gaya tha. Narinder sab kaam chhod kar us tasvir ko dekhne laga.
"Behanchod ye kya bawaal hai be Gajju? Dekhiyo jara ye papa aur Raghubir chacha he hai na?", Safed patloon aur kaali kameej he dikh rahi thi un dono ke sharir par, tasvir ke shwet-shyaam hone ki wajah se. Lekin un chehro ko pehchan pana mushkil tha kyonki sabhi 15 se 23-24 saal ke beech ke the.
"Haan be ye toh papa he hai aur ye Sombir tauji hai. Baaki kisi ko toh main nahi pehchanta. Lekin is ladke ke upar gola kyu mara hai jiske kandhe par chacha ka hath hai?"
"Photo daal bhai Daleep wapis packet me. Ye bahot kaam ki cheej hai aur iska yaha hona apne aap me hairani wali baat hai. 50 saal purani photo wo bhi is ghar me."
"Ye sab main jhole me daalta hu, Daleep bhai sandook ka kabja wapis daba do aur nikate hai yaha se.", Umed ke kehne ke sath he agle 5 minute me poora kamra pehle ki tarah vyavasthit ho chuka tha. 2 thaile samaan liye wo teeno he badi kushalta se is purane ghar se bahar nikal gaye. Dur kahi kutto ke rone ki awaaj ke siwa bas inke kadmo ki halki aahat he the is gehri raat me. Aage sunsaan kheto ke beech pagdandi se raste par chalte hue wo 10 minute baad sadak par pahuch gaye.
"Rajesh, kya raha?"
"Kya raha? Ye dekho sala meri car pe driver side ki taraf se ek aadmi goli maar kar gayab ho gaya aur tumhe awaaj tak sunai na di. Chakkar kya hai ye sab.? Pehle toh mujhe bhi samajh nahi aaya tha ke tum wo dummy sath kyu laaye lekin dekho uska bheja udaa diya kambakhto ne aur mujhe mauka bhi nahi mila unhe pakadne ka.", Rajesh ki halat dekh Narinder hans raha tha.
"Saale tum ho sahi nautanki. Kaha hai wo aadmi?", Ab is sawaal par Rajesh muskura diya.
"Dikki me hai harami. Batao goli chalane aaya tha toh chala ke bhaag jaye. Lekin nahi pehle darwaja khatkhatayenge, fir baat bhi karni hai. Kanpati pe ek hath pada toh moot nikal gaya lulli se uski. Baandh ke daal liya dikki me saale ko aur uski fatfati udhar fenk di jhaadiyon me. Chalo ab nikalte hai."
"Goli sachmuch chali thi kya?", Daleep ne chinta se kaha.
"Pagla gaye ho kya Daleep bhai. Ye car meri dilruba hai aur agar wo goli chalata toh maine gaand kaat deta uski. Ab is dummi ko bhi fenkna padega.", Car ki agli seat par plastic ka aadamkad murat bithaya hua tha inhone, kameej pehna kar.
"Abe fenkna matt, apne Daleep bhai ke kaam aayega. Dekh kaise motte chuche hai iske aur laane wale bhi Rajesh tum kamaal hai. Aadmi ka statue mangwaya lekin nahi londiya he pasand hai. Daleep bhai isme chhed kar lena, bhabhi toh ab naraaj hai lekin ye hamesha sath rahegi bina kuch kahe.", Narinder ne wo moorat pichli seat par beech me rakhi toh Daleep sachmuch uske seene par hath firane laga.
"Yaha pe thoda rubber lagwa do bhai toh main kaam chala lunga..", Daleep ki is baat par baaki teeno bhi thahaka laga gaye.
"Hahaha.. mast aadmi ho yar aap. Waise idea bura bhi nahi hai lekin isko aise he rakho main jab America jaunga toh aapke liye chudai wali gudiya leta aaunga. Uske gubbare daba daba kar pelna saali ko.", Rajesh ne car chalu karte hue kaha aur ye hanste hue baaton ke sath jaankari bhi sanjha karne lage. Andhere me gaadi wapis chal padi.
"Gaushala he chalte hai yar.", Narinder ki baat sunn kar Daleep ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Waha is waqt araam nahi kar sakte Inder aur neend liye bina mujhe chain nahi aata. Hotel he sahi rahega."
"Haan, hotel he chalte hai Daleep bhai. Roshni bhi hogi aur sakoon se sara kaam bhi kar lenge.", Rajesh ne bhi apna dimaag dikha diya jiski jarurat nahi thi.
"Oh kaath ke ullu, jo murga dikki main hai usko bhi hotel me rakhega kya?",Ye Umed na kaha toh ab kisi ne koyi sawaal na kiya. Car poori raftaar se gaushala ki aur badhne lagi. Aaj ek bahot badi sendh lagai thi in logo ne aur uske parniaam kya hone waale hai ye toh din nikalne par he pata chalna tha.

Gurdeep ki motti tarbooj si gaand Arjun se buri tarah chipki thi aur peeche se uska ek sudol stann dabate hue Arjun bhi kahi gehre lekin dheeme dhakko se uski tight choot ko apne lund ka abhyast kar raha tha. Paune 4 baje Gurdeep chupke se idhar chali aayi thi aur pichle aadhe ghante me khamosi se chalti ye chudaai ab apne charam par aane wali thi. 3 baar apna kaamras nikalne ke bawjood Gurdeep uska bharpoor sath de rahi thi. Lund se pach-pach ki ye halki awaaj dono ka he maja bakhaan karti rahi.
"ummm.. bas karo aahhh.. din me kiya tha tab bathroom jaane me bhi taklif ho rahi thi.. ufff.. ab toh lagta hai wo bhi mushkil hone wala hai.", Arjun uske maadak awaajo se aur tej dhakke lagane laga.
"Dhyaan rakhna tha na.. hhhhuuuuhh.. ab hone he wala hai.. bas..aahh.. sachmuch tumhara josh ummeed se jyada hai.."
"Ishhh... ho gayi main..aahh.. marr jaungi agar itni baar ye royegi toh.. aahhh... "
"Huhhhhh... lo..", Arjun ne lund choot se nikal kar gaand ke chhed par daba dia. Wo kora chhed naam-maatra he khula tha lekin poora lava usme bharne ke baad he Arjun alag hua.
"Chhhiii.. kar di na manmani.. aahh.. waha nahi lungi tumhara.. aahhh maa..", Dhimi awaaj karti wo bathroom chali gayi aur Arjun uske peeche.
"Ab aur nahi karna.", Nirvastra Gurdeep ke chehre par aseem khushi thi aur uski naa bhi jaisi saaf jhooth. Kharbuje se gol aur motti chuchiya laal padd chuki thi wahi gudadwaar se nikal kar moti sudol jaangho par behta Arjun ka veerya usko aur kaamuk dikha raha tha.
"Main nahane aaya hu darling kyonki sava 4 baj chuke hai. Saaf karo khud ko aur jaldi se wahi chali jao jaha se aayi thi.", Gurdeep ne samay ko gambhirta se liya aur apne sharir par paani udelti saaf karne lagi. Baal bheegne nahi diye aur poore 5 minute me he wo toliya lapete kamre me chali gayi. Arjun nityakriya se farig hone ke baad naha kar bahar aaya toh bister ab saaf tha. Toliya utha kar sharir sukhate hue wo kuch soch he raha tha ki alarm ki bahot halki awaaj sunai padi. Diwar ghadi bhi 5 baja rahi thi lekin itni jaldi kaun uthne laga tha? Arjun ki soch alarm ki awaaj band hone ke sath he khatam ho gayi.
Kapde pehan kar wo atche se tayaar hua aur seedha rasoi me chala aaya. Kisi ko jagane ka koyi irada na tha isliye khud he doodh garam karte hue hall ki light bhi jala di. Alka-Gurdeep jis kamre me thi uska darwaja khula tha aur dono he gehri neend me thi.
'Matlab Aarti ne alarm lagaya tha? Unhe kya jarurat hai itni jaldi uthne ki?', Arjun apne he khayalo me tha aur doodh ubal gaya.
'Ho gaya jyada garam.', Idhar udhar dekhne par jab kuch samajh nahi aaya toh kapde se he patila pakad kar hilate hue doodh thanda karne laga.
"Aap rehne dijiye, main kar deti hu.", Is khanakti awaaj ko sunn kar Arjun palta toh salwar-kameej pehne aur dupatte se seene ke sath sar ko dhake Afsana khadi thi. Nahane ke baad taja gulab si khili Afsana ka ye roop bhi jaanleva tha. Arjun ektak bas usko he dekhta raha.
"Khuli aankhon se khwaab dekhna galat nahi lekin hath me garam patili ke sath dekhna galat hai. Laaiye, hum karte hai aur aap baithak me jaaye.", Is baar Afsana ne ek taraf se kapde par hath rakha toh dono ki ungliya ek dusre ko chhuu gayi. Arjun ne aahista se patila Afsana ke hawale kiya lekin kareeb he khada raha. Saamne ki taraf bani chhoti si almari se Afsana ne jug nikal kar doodh ko faintna shuru kiya toh Arjun ko samajh aaya ki bartan kaha rakhe hote.
"Aapko kasht nahi dena chahta tha aur mujhe in drawers ka bhi pata nahi tha ki bartan yaha honge."
"Aap itni savere uth jaate hai iska ilm nahi tha. Hum pehle he kar dete agar khabar hoti. Saath me kya lenge?", Un gori kalaiyon me khoya Arjun ab kya jawaab deta. Thodi bahot bhi kalai dikh rahi thi toh wo bas isliye ki Afsana ko hatho ko hilana padd raha tha. Uske sabhi paridhan poori aasteen wale he dekhe the Arjun ne. Itne kareeb se wo geele baalo se aati sugandh bhi mahua ka asar karne lagi toh Arjun ne khud ko sambhala. Afsana ne sharmate hue doodh ka gilas Arjun ko thamaya aur bahar jaane lagi. Arjun ko toh ye pata he na chala tha kab doodh gilas me daal diya Afsana ne.
"Rukiye. Main bhi bahar he jaane wala hu toh aapko drop kar dunga."
"Hum khaali hath jaayenge kya? Motor chalane jaa rahe hai jis se paani ki kami na ho.", Arjun is jawaab se khud he jhemp gaya. Afsana kal raat jab aayi thi toh ek bag liye thi aur abhi bhi usne saaf kapde pehne the aur Aarti ke kapde Afsana ke aane wale nahi the. Muskurata hua wo doodh ki ghoont bharne laga. 10 minute baad he Afsana ek baar fir uske saamne thi, hath me bag liye.
"Arjun, tum itni subah kaha ja rahe ho?", Aarti bhi unindi si kamre se bahar chali aayi toh Arjun ko tayaar dekh pooch liya.
"Wo mujhe Jagtar bhaiya se kaam hai toh unhone sadhe 5 baje bola tha aane ke liye. Ghante bhar tak wapis aa jaunga. Nashte ke liye kuch lana hai?", Arjun ki nashte wali baat par Afsana ne ghoor kar Aarti ko dekha jo ab muskura rahi thi.
"Haan, chhole poodi le aana 3 plate. Gurughar ke pas he dukaan hai jo 6 baje he sab banane lagte hai."
"Aapko maloom hain na Aarti ammi ne khaas kaha tha ke aaj naasta hamare yaha hai aapka? 8 baje matlab 8 baje. Aur aap hume hamare ghar tak chhod sakte hai?", Afsana ke gusse ko dekh Aarti aur Arjun bas muskura rahe the.
"Chhodega kyu nahi. Tum kaho toh Arjun goad me le jayega. Hahahaha..", Ab Afsana ka gussa kafoor ho chuka tha aur chehre par sharam chha gayi.
"Chaliye main aapko ghar ke saamne utaar dunga. Aarti didi waise he majaak kar rahi thi.", Arjun ne bag lena chaha toh Afsana ne naa me gardan hilate hue usko apne sath laga liya.
"Aap chaliye hum aate hai.", Arjun car ki chaabi liye bahar chal diya.
"Aap jaanti hai na Aarti aisa majak nahi karna chahiye? Aapke bhai ke saamne he ye behuda baat karni thi?"
"Rehne de meri bholi gudiya, sab jaanti hu main. Tere gaal aise he gulabi nahi hue the aur abhi tu nikal, naaste par teri aisi khinchai karungi yaad rakhegi.", Aarti ke kathan me alag he josh tha aur sakuchati si Afsana uska hath pakde bahar chal di.
"Aap ye maskhari ammi ke saamne matt kariyega. Waise pehli baar hum aise jaa rahe hai, kuch galat toh nahi hain na?"
"Oh meri maa, ye mera bhai hai aur aunty ji isko jaanti hai bachpan se. Is mohalle me tujhe shayad he koyi jaanta ho jo tu itni parwah karti hai."
"Humko sabhi jaante hai ke hum Afsana Hussain hai.",Afsana ke bholepan par Aarti ko hansi aa gayi.
"Tere naam ko aur tere burke ko jaante honge lekin ye jo pari jaisi sundar ladki hai na isko yaha kisi ne nahi dekha. Ja wo tera intjaar kar raha hai. Mere bhai se thoda dur rehna, keh deti hu.", Aarti jaldi se darwaja band karti hui andar bhaag aayi.
"Aapko maar ki jarurat hai thodi.", Hansti hui Afsana ke motiyon se daant aur surkh gulabi adharo ko dekhta Arjun fir se dhyaan bhatakne laga. Darwaja band hone ki awaaj par usko hosh aaya lekin Afsana pichli seat par ja baithi thi.
"Driver wali feeling le rahi hai aap toh.", Arjun ne ye baat shishe me dekhte hue kahi aur Afsana ne dupatte ka ek seera chehre par kar liya.
"Hum aapki tauheen nahi kar rahe hai lekin sath baithna sawaal bann sakta hai. Aapko bura laga toh hum utar sakte hai.."
"Hahaha.. Matlab aap hain kya? Aisi chhoti chhoti baaton se bhala bura kisko lagta hai. Main apni didi aur maa ko bhi pichli seat par baitha kar he gaadi chalata hu. Aur atcha hai ki aap pichli seat par hai, nahi toh gaadi chalate hue dhyaan bhatakna khatarnaak ho sakta hai."
"Bas kijiye ab. Dekh abhi bhi aap idhar he rahe hai aur aisa karna galat hai.", Arjun ne ye baat turant maan li aur khamoshi se sadak par dhyaan dene laga. Shaant mahol aur park me sair karte hue gine chune log. Lekin ab Afsana ko ye khamoshi khatak rahi thi. Wo aaine me lagatar dekh rahi thi jaise Arjun se ab najar milegi. Ghar ke saamne car rukte he wo hosh me aayi. Bina kuch kahe wo seedha gate kholti hui andar chali gayi. Arjun ne bhi car ko Jagtar bhai ke ghar ke pas wale park ki taraf ghuma liya. Aaj bahot kuch jaankari leni thi unse gaanv aur waha ke logo ke baare me.

Jawaan Din-Haseen Raat (3)
"Maa, Arjun apne Pandit ji ka pauta hai aur college me jo vakya hua tha na waha isne he madad ki thi.", Arjun us aalishan drawing hall me Jagtar ke pas he baitha tha jaha pichli bar gehra sannatta tha. Aaj ghar pe Jagtar aur uski mata ji maujud the lekin Jasleen pados me he Kirti ke ghar gayi hui thi. Jagtar ne Arjun ka parichaya diya toh uski mata ji ne bade he sneh se Arjun ke sar par hath firate hue aashirwad diya.
"Sanskar aur sewa ke liye alag he sthaan hai beta tumhare pariwar ka. Bahot khushi hui tumhe saamne dekh kar aur apne bacho ka ek sahi dost dekh kar. Waise toh Jaggi bhi bahot atcha aur jimmewar hai beta hai lekin tumhare baare me pata chala toh milne ki bahut itcha thi.", Arjun aur Jagtar ek-ek sofe par baithe the aur Jagtar ki mata ji ne kaanch ki table par dono ke liye doodh ke sath mewe rakhe aur unke saamne wale bade sofe par baith gayi.
"Aunty ji shiksha me toh aapne bhi koyi kami nahi aane di hai. Bhaiya dharam-karam ke sath sath kitne jimmewar hai ye main pichli mulakaat me he dekh chuka hu. Aur jaisi sakratmak urja aapke ghar me vyapt hai us se saaf pata chalta hai ke aap swayam he sidhhant aur sanskaro ko mehtava sarvopari rakhti hai. Pehli guru maa he hoti hai har bache ke jiwan me aur maa shresth hoti hai.", Arjun ne ek bar fir unki taraf dono hath jodd kar abhivadan kiya toh aunty ji ke chehre par alag he muskaan aa gayi. Idhar ye tagdi deel-daul wala kutta matakta hua aaya aur Jagtar ki goad me aa baitha. Wajan kahi jyada he tha uska lekin jaise wo khud ko abhi tak pilla he samajhta tha.
"Lo dekh lo sanskar. Ye halat hai yaha ghar ki aur tumhara ye bhai abhi tak bada nahi hua hai."
"Jeus naam hai na iska? Aapne toh iske sath bhi koyi farak nahi kiya. Ye dil maa ka he ho sakta hai jo har bache ko bacha he maanti hai.", Arjun dwara apna naam liye jaane se us kutte ne bhi ek baar dekhte hue jeebh nikal kar jata diya ke haa main he Jeus hu.
"Bada atcha laga beta ji tumhare vichar jaan kar. Ye Jeus aur Jaggi dono he ek jaise hai mere liye. Haan ek ghar me mera khayal rakhta hai aur dusra bahar. Waise beta ji main aur Jaggi maharashtra ja rahe hai aur shaadi wale din hamara waha aana mumkin nahi hoga. Main khud waha tumhare pariwar se milne jarur aaungi wapis lautne par."
"Bebe (maa), Jassi ja rahi hai vyaah vich. Appa Bambai toh aaye baad mil aavanage. Arjun bhai maa ne mannat bhi ki hui hai aur ye sab pehle se nirdharit tha isliye pehle he saaf batana uchit hai. Haan Jassi apni saheliyon ke sath shaadi me shamil ho jayegi. Bas behan ka khayal rakhna, jaanta hu ke tum aisa he karoge par ab ek he chaand hai hamare ghar me toh thodi parwah rehti hai.", Arjun ko bada atcha laga tha aunty ji aur Jagtar ka bilkul he saaf baat karna aur dono he pyaar se bhare vyakti the.
"Koyi shikayat ka mauka nahi milega aapko. Ab main chalta hu aunty ji, market me didi bhi intjaar kar rahi hongi. Agli bar jab bhi aana hua toh aapse jarur milne aaunga.", Arjun khada hua toh aunty ji bhi uth gaye. Nimantran patra aur mithai ka dibba ab Jagtar ke hath me tha jo ishare se Arjun ko baithne ka keh raha tha.
"Bitiya ko bhi lete aana tha beta. Lekin main jaanti hu aisa isliye nahi kiya hoga kyonki fir bahana kya banate. Jaggi, iske sath Kirti ke ghar chale jao beta. Card Arjun ka he dena behtar hai.", Jaha Arjun Kirti wala card bhi idhar se de kar nikalna chahta tha ab aunty ji ki wajah se usko unke bhi ghar jana padna tha.
"Chal Jeus, thoda sair karke aate hai.", Jaggi waise he chappal pehne Arjun ke sath chal diya. Arjun ne jaane se pehle aunty ji ka aashirwad liya aur unhone bhi pehli bar ghar aane par halki sakhtai ke sath Arjun ki jeb me shagun daal diya. Bahar sadak par Jeus badi shalinta se in dono ke beech chal raha tha.
"Ye wala Kirti ka ghar hai bhai jo din me hamesha he khali rehta hai. Poora pariwar he business dekhta hai, aunty ji bhi.", Jagtar ne is aalishan ghar ki ghanti bajate hue bataya aur udhar Jeus bagal wale khambe par he taang utha kar apni pehchaan lagane me vyast ho gaya. Ghar aalishan tha lekin ekdum khamosh. Lakdi ka wo bada darwaja khula toh saamne Kirti aur Jasleen dono he khadi thi. Dono he aadhunik yuvtiya is waqt dheeli tshirt aur jhaalar wale pajama pehne bhi behad aakarshak lag rahi thi aur Jasleen ke chehre par sapaat bhaav dekh Arjun ne he najre Kirti ki taraf kar di.
"Hello Kirti.", Arjun ne itna kaha aur Jagtar ye lohe ka gate kholta andar he chal diya Arjun ka hath pakde hue.
"Gate se he hello shallo karoge ab? Kirti, ye shaadi ka card dene aaya hai tumhe. Priyanka ka aana possible nahi hua toh Arjun ko jehmat uthani padi. Aunty ji abhi tak nahi aaye?", Jagtar itna bol kar is jagmag hall me chala aaya aur udhar Kirti ne bade josh se Arjun ka hath thaam liya.
"Thank you so much Arjun aur mujhe Priyanka ne phone par bata diya tha ke tum aane wale ho par time nahi pata tha. Jaggi tumhe pata hai na mom 6 baje tak he aati hai. Main maid ko bol kar thanda banwati hu tum log baitho.", Kirti ne chehre se baalo ki lat kaan ke peeche karte hue kaha toh Arjun ne najre hatate hue ek baar Jasleen ko dekha aur apna jawaab diya.
"Nahi Kirti ji, uski koyi jarurat nahi hai. Main abhi Jaggi bhaiya ke ghar se aa raha hu aur aunty ji ne khila pila kar he bheja hai. Waise bhi thoda jaldi me hu toh rukna munasib nahi hai.", Jasleen uski baat sunn kar andar ki taraf chal di. Jaane kya wajah thi aur abhi tak usne Arjun ko hello bhi nahi kaha tha.
"Jarurat kaise nahi hai? Maan liya aunty ji ne atchi sewa ki hai par yaha bhi pehli baar he aaye ho toh 5 minute baith he sakte ho.", Kirti ne hath pakad kar baithaya toh Arjun bhi 5 minute ke liye maan gaya. Jaggi ne Jeus ko apne pas na dekh idhar udhar najar daudai.
"Oh bhai tum baitho main jara Jeus ko dekh kar aaya. Wo agar park me bhaag gaya toh maa ne hum dono ko he ghar se nikal dena hai is baar.", Jagtar teji se bahar aaya toh Jeus unke he ghar ki taraf ja raha tha jaha Aunty ji khade the.
"Maa bula rahi hai Arjun, main tumse kal savere milta hu bhai kyonki abhi gurughar ka samay ho gaya hai unka.", Jagtar ne hath hilate hue kaha toh Arjun ne bhi thodi hichak ke sath sar hila kar haan keh diya. Arjun aur Jagtar ne savere saadhe 5 baje milne ka samay nishchit kiya tha kuch baatein karne ke liye.
"Mera number nahi hai tumhare pas? Ghar aa rahe ho toh bata bhi sakte the ki kis waqt pahuchne wale ho.", Ab Jasleen ke chehre par sirf gussa he tha aur Kirti rasoi me ja chuki thi. Lakdi ka mukhya darwaja bhi band tha.
"Wo.. wo maine socha ki aap ghar he milogi, college band hai toh.", Arjun shayad Kirti ka ghar hone ki wajah se jyada fikarmand tha. Lekin Kirti ki parwah na karte hue Jasleen waise he gusse me bolti hui uske kareeb baith gayi.
"Aap? Bahot sahi aur har baat khud he soch liya karo ke main kaha milungi aur tum apni marji se he aaoge. Jitni baar phone par baat ki hamesha tumhara haan-hun jaisa jawaab lekin yaha aane ke baad toh araam se phone kar sakte the na?", Arjun apne ghar kaise Jasleen se khul kar baat kar sakta tha jaha koyi na koyi maujud rehta tha. University se 2 baar phone kiya tha lekin dono bar Jagtar se he baat hui thi.
"Wo maine bhi phone kiya tha 2 baar lekin Jaggi bhaiya ne uthaya toh baat nahi ho paayi. Itna gussa aur kam se kam ye toh dekho hum kaha baithe hai.", Arjun ne thodi himmat karte hue Jasleen ka hath apne dono hath ke beech lete hue kaha. Ye sparsh he toh tha jiski kami ne Jasleen ko sataya tha. Pal me he wo khamosh ho gayi. Najre dono ki he ek dusre ko nihar rahi thi aur us khoobsurat chehre par halka dard ubhar aaya.
"Sorry for my bad behaviour. Tumhe kaise batau ki kitna intjaar kar rahi thi main tumhara aur phir aaye bhi toh mujhe yaad nahi kiya. Bura nahi lagega kya?"
"Aaya bhi toh dopahar me he hu aur 3 ghante baad tumhare ghar. Maine kaha tha na ke aise safar par chalne ki koshish matt karna? Tum bahot he pyaari ladki jo Jasleen aur tumhe dard dene wala duniya ka sabse badnaseeb insaan he ho sakta hai.", Arjun ke aisa kehne par Jasleen ne uske hontho par hath rakh diya.
"Shhhh.. Itna bhi jaleel mat karo ab. Bas ho jati hu thodi emotional aur gussa apne upar he aata hai. Waise tum 5 minute me jaane ka kyu bol rahe the?", Jasleen ka patla chharhara jism ab poori tarah se Arjun ke sath juda hua tha baayi taraf se. Wo gori naajuk ungliya hontho par he thi jinhe Arjun ke choomte he sharam se Jasleen ne hata liya. "gande kahi ke."
"5 minute se jyada tumhare pas raha toh phir se thank you le lunga aur ye jagah alag hai. Waise market me didi intjaar kar rahi hongi isliye bhi jaldi jana hai.", Arjun aakhiri baar wale chumban ka jikar kiya toh Jasleen ne khud he uska hath majbooti se pakad liya.
"Chalo utho aur ghar chalo mere sath. 5 minute mere hisse ke abhi baaki hai.", Jasleen ko bhi pata tha ki ab unke ghar bhi koyi nahi hoga. Kirti khaas dost thi lekin uske saamne wo bhi khul kar Arjun se baat nahi kar sakti thi. Jasleen ke khade hote he Arjun ki najar us dheele pajame ke khaas hisse par atak gayi. Jasleen ke tarashe hue madhyam se ubhaar aur lambi taange jaanleva thi. Kirti idhar he chali aayi tray me sharbat liye.
"Ab tum dono uth kar kaha chalne ki tayaari me ho?"
"Ye wapis ja raha hai aur ghar pe cards reh gaye hai jo uthane hai. Main aati hu 5 minute me wapis.", Ye 5 minute jaise aaj har insaan maang raha tha aur Arjun ne dhanyawad karte hue ek saans me sharbat ka gilas khaali karke tray me rakh diya.
"Jaldi he milte hai aur abhi kuch jaruri kaam hai toh jana jaruri hai Kirti ji."
"Samajh sakti hu aur agli baar samay nikaal kar he aana Arjun.", Kirti darwaje tak chhodne bahar aayi aur dono he Jasleen ke ghar ki taraf badh chale.
"Waha shisha bhi laga tha aur tum najre jyada he ghumate rehte hai.", Ghar ke andar aate he Jasleen ne Arjun ke maje lene shuru kar diye.
"Model jaisi ho tum bilkul ya ye kahu ke ek khoobsurat model.", Arjun andar hall me aaya toh Jeus ek taraf ungh raha tha. Aaj ghar me kaam karne wali wo aunty najar nahi aayi thi jo shayad avkaash pe thi. Arjun ke kadam rukne he lage the aur Jasleen hath pakadti usko apne kamre me aa gayi.
"X-ray karne ke baad kitni dhitai se jawaab dete ho. Waise sachmuch bahot gande ho tum.. Ummaahhh.", Jis josh se Jasleen ne Arjun ki kameej pakadte hue apne honth uske hontho se milaye the Arjun dheela he padd gaya. Jasleen ki tadap toh bina kisi milan ke he charam par thi aur uske patle madd-bhare hontho ka swaad bharpoor mithaas se bhara tha. Aisa he chumban Arjun ne kiya tha aur Jasleen jaise us din ko he yaad karti hui apna pyaar dikhane lagi. 25-26 inch ki us makhmali kamar par Arjun ka sparsh hote he Jasleen ki wo badi badi aankhen jhatke me khul gayi. Wo pur-kashish se bas Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Mardana sparsh is andruni naram hisse par nayi tarange paida karne laga. Rengte hue dono hath ne jaise he Jasleen ke kulho ko dabate hue Arjun ke sath atche se chipkaya uski aankhen fir se band ho gayi.
Kampkampate geele gulabi hontho par ab Arjun janleva kalakari karta hua Jasleen ko apna poora ehsaas karwane laga. Jaha Jasleen ke sharir se nikalti khaas mehak Arjun ko uttejit kar rahi thi wahi Arjun ka mardana sparsh aur uske hatho ke majbooti me Jasleen bhi pighalne lagi. Uske madhyam akaar ke thos chuche pehli baar mard ki chhati se dabte hue aur kathor hone lage. Samay se pare inka ye chumban ab ek dusre ki rasna choosne tak aage badh chala. Jasleen ki jeebh ko jitna Arjun apne mooh me pakad kar choosta, utna he wo meetha taral rista hua uske halak se niche utar jata. Ye chumban ab hadd se aage ja raha tha aur Arjun ki hatheli ne Jasleen ka wo kathor ubhar poora muthi me jakad liya. Jasleen ke sharir ka har roya second ke 100ve bhaag me khada ho chuka tha is harkat se. Uske ubhar par bas Arjun ka hath lagne maatra se ek lehar nabhi se uski akshat yoni tak daud gayi. Sharir me asankhya visphot aaj pehli baar he hue the aur Jasleen nidhal hoti hui Arjun ki baahon me pighal gayi.
Aaj se pehle tak Jasleen ko sirf hasthmaithun ka thoda anubhav tha wo bhi akele me yoni ko upar se sehlane tak. Lekin Arjun ke us sparsh ne jaise uski yoni ko ras-vihin he kar diya tha aur wo bhi bina waha kuch kiye. 2 minute baad kahi Jasleen ko hosh aaya toh wo bister par leti thi. Kareeb baitha Arjun bade pyaar se uska matha aur gaal sehlate hue bas usko he nihare ja raha tha. Jasleen ke chehre par jahan bhar ki sharam aur laali vyapt thi jiska bhaan Arjun ko atche se tha.
"Kya ye pehli baar tha?", Arjun ke aise sawaal ne jaise Jasleen ko nirvastra he kar diya. Takiye me mooh chupane ki koshish bhi jab nakaam rahi toh sharmati hui Jasleen ne bhi kehna uchit samjha.
"Har roj toh tum mujhe kiss nahi karte na? Aur aaj kiss se kuch jyada he ho gaya tha. Bahot jyada gande ho tum aur sab tumne kiya hai."
"Waise sach kahu toh mera hath tumne khud he apne yaha rakha tha aur ye nishan tumhare he nakhoon ke hai meri kalai par. Diet lena shuru karo thodi, abhi hath lagane se behosh ho rahi ho aur kal ko thoda aage badh gaye toh pata nahi police mera kya haal karegi.", Arjun se us sparsh ki asliyat pata lagte he wo aur jayda he sharmane lagi thi. Najre churati wo karwat liye dusri taraf mooh karke dhime sawar me bolne lagi.
"Mujhe tumhara sparsh har taraf chahiye aur utne he pyaar se jitna tumne kiss kiya. Waise sachmuch tum bure ho. Ye bhi toh keh sakte the ki tumne khud he hath waha rakha.", Is tarah karwat hone se Arjun ab atche se Jasleen ke ubhre hue nitamb nihar raha tha. Wahi Jasleen bas khayal bana rahi thi ab Arjun kya sochega aur kya bolega. Lekin jaise he apne lachile kulho par Arjun ka hath rengta mehsoos hua, Jasleen ki dhadkan phir se aniyantrit ho gayi. Wo jhallar wala dheela makhmali pajama jaise waha tha he nahi aur golakar kataav liye wo hissa itna romanchit bhi kar sakta hai ye Jasleen ne bas abhi mehsoos kiya.
"Abhi chalta hu Jas, der ho rahi hai. Jald milte hain.", Arjun ne upar jhukte hue chehra saamne kiya toh Jasleen jaise nivedan kar rahi thi ki aaj wo uske pas he rahe. Ye mumkin kaha tha. Ek pal dono ke honth mile aur Arjun turant yaha se nikal chala. Aaj he Jasleen ne mehsoos kiya tha ki Arjun ab uske liye kya maayne rakhne laga hai. Wo uske bina sachmuch jee na sakegi aur Arjun ne khud pehle he usko mana kiya tha in kadmo ko rokne ke liye. Is duvidha me bhi Jasleen ki chahat ek samaan badh he rahi thi.
'I love you..', Itna kehti wo phir se un char taadiyo wale pankhe ko niharne lagi jaise shunya me bhi waha Arjun ka he chehra ho.
.
.
Is tehkhane me kahi jyada he andhkar tha aur lambai agyaat. Seedhiyon se 4 jodi kadam niche is thandak bhare tehkhane me utarne lage toh ek pal ke liye jaise surya he prakashit ho gaya us shaksh ke saamne jo kursi par adhnangi halat me bandha tha. Kis band pade godam ka ye tehkhana 100 gaj ke kareeb lambai aur uske aadhi chaudai liye ek bada hall tha. Roshni se aankhen kuch abhyast hui toh apni taraf badhte kadmo ki disha me dhyaan gaya.
"Itne bhi shatir nahi ho ki hamari najar me na aao. Toh kaise ho Balbir Lohan? Suna hai chhena-jhaptti chhod kar ab logo ke katal karwane ke thekedar bann gaye ho.", Pandit Rameshwar Sharma ke sath unka pauta Sanjiv Sharma bhi hamesha ki tarah uchit patloon kameej aur chamde ke joote pehne is shaksh ke kareeb aa khada hua. Pandit ji ki awaaj he bahut rehti thi kisi bhi purane mujrim ko yaad dilane ke liye ki ye vyakti abhi tak un file par kaam jaari rakhe hai jo inke retirement tak adhuri thi. Police department khud inse gujarish karta tha apni sevayen dene ki, sa-shart aur natija bhi saamne tha. Jald he Pandit ji Lohan ke saamne rakhi kursi par baith gaye. Col sahab bhi DIG Nirmal Singh ke sath yaha maujud the.
"Pandit ji.. main aapke pariwar se koso dur raha hu. Wo.. woh toh Shankar ne humla kiya toh bachaav karna he pada. Dekhiye mujhe doctor aur vakeel ki jarurat hai, remand court me pesh karke bhi le sakte hai.", Lohan tha jigar wala chahe wo is shaksh se darta tha aur pata bhi tha ke yaha koyi maar-pitai wala kaam uske sath nahi kiya jayega.
"Dekho Balbir, maine tumhe 27 saal pehle ek chhoti si chori ke apradh me baksh diya tha kyonki ek mauka sabko milna chahiye. Badle me tumne kya kiya? Kaise adaa kiya us ehsaan ka badla jis se hum tumhe ek behtar vyakti banana chahte the? Aaj tum keh rahe ho ke mere pariwar se koso dur ho, lekin sach tumhe atche se pata hai bete. Galti ek baar hoti hai ya 2 baar, uske baad wo niyat aur aadat. Yaha sirf mere he pariwar ki badaulat tumhe nahi laya gaya hai kyonki wo log toh tumhe kuch samajhte he nahi. Jaante ho na mera ishara?", Ab kahi Lohan ka kanth sookh gaya tha. Aaj bhi Rameshwar ji ne usko bete keh kar pukara tha jaise 27 saal pehle usko thaane se riha karte hue kaha tha. Majboot apradhi ka bhi sar niche jhukan bata raha tha ki Pandit ji ne kabhi uske sath bura nahi kiya tha aur wo unhe he chott pahuchane me laga raha.
"Sir, main baat karne ki ijajat chahta hu is se.", Sanjiv ne apne he dada ko 'sir' keh kar sambodhit kiya tha aur Lohan ne is awaaj ko sunn kar Sanjiv ki taraf dekha jo manjuri milne ke baad ab thik Lohan ke saamne khada tha.
"Tum bache ho. Mujhse agar koyi baat karega toh wo Pandit ji.", Lohan ke aisa kehne par Sanjiv ke chehre par alag he bhaav aa gaye. Ek kutil muskaan liye wo Lohan ke samne jhuk gaya chehra kareeb karte hue.
"Hum 2 bhai hai Lohan aur dono he har kaam aise karte hai ki dekhne wale ko bas ek he najar aata hai. Jaante ho ye bachkana sa lagne wala andaaj humne kaha se seekha hai? Video game se. Main saamne rehkar goliyan chalata hu toh sabko lagta hai ke main he hu jo hu lekin unko wo nahi dikhta jo har taraf najar rakhe mujhko cover deta. Tum jaante ho mere bhai ko aur wo mujhse bhi chhota hai lekin abhi se tumhara baap hai.", Sanjiv ka andaaj kabile-gor tha aur Lohan har lafz ko dhyaan se sunn ne ke baad hairat se dekhne laga.
"Tum.. Tumhara chhota bhai Arjun Sharma hai matlab tum bhi Shankar ke bete ho? Yani Pandit ji ke paute?"
"Yaadasht bahot atchi hai tumhari aur haan wo mera bhai jisne tumhari patloon dur se he geeli kar di thi. Aur tum apne ka kitna bada turram khan samajhte ho jo 4 ghante me he pakad me aa gaye? Maar toh main tumhe vahi deta lekin aisa hai ke kuch sawal hai mere pas tumhare liye.", Sanjiv ne pushti kar di thi ki uski asliyat kya hai aur aisa wo tabhi karta tha jab insaan kareebi ho ya fir aise vyakti ko jeene ka adhikar he na ho.
"Arjun aur tum, dono he maare jaoge agar mujhe kuch bhi hua toh. Uska naam main pehle he bata chuka jisko batana jaruri tha."
"Aur wo badnaseeb bhi poore pariwar ke sath kal raat mara gaya. Kismat aisi he hai ya mehnat se itni buri banai hai? Aadmi bhejte ho toh unka accident ho jata hai, hamla karte ho toh khud ghayal ho jaate ho, jis par bharosa karte ho wahi duniya se chala jata hai... aakhir tum khud panauti ho ya aaspas sabhi manhoos log he hai tumhare? Ab gor se suno 4 sawaal aur unke badle me 4 sahi jawaab. Galati par jaan se nahi maarunga lekin tum bheek maangoge ki maut mil jaye.", Ab Rameshwar ji bhi idhar se uth kar thoda alag chale aaye. Lohan samajh nahi pa raha tha ke uske sath ho kya raha hai. Sanjiv ne usko bebas kar he diya tha.
"Tumne Shabnam ka sath Mohar Singh ke kehne par toh nahi diya tha kyonki tumhari najar me Mohar ki koyi ijjat nahi thi. Kiske kehne par tumne apne log bheje the Shabnam dwara batai vardat anjaam dene ke liye? Galat naam aur main bataunga ki tumhara pariwar bhi hai.", Sanjiv ne sawaal ke sath jo jikar kiya us se Lohan toh hairat me tha he Rameshwar ji bhi achambhe me padd gaye. Lohan ayyash apradhi tha jo giroh sargana tha. Uske biwi-bache the he nahi Pandit ji ki najar me ya kisi bhi vyakti ki.
"Jhooth jhooth hai ye.."
"Galat jawaab toh ab tumhare 3 bacho me se beech wala gaya. Beta hai na tumhara beech wala bacha? Badi beti fir choti beti aur beech me tumhara pyara beta."
"Nahi nahi.. unhe beech me laane ki jarurat nahi hai main sab jawaab dunga lekin mere pariwar tak nahi jaoge."
"Tum hamare pariwar ko khatam karne ke liye gunde bhejo jabki dada ji ke kitne ehsaan rahe hai lekin main aisa na karu. Ek waja do Lohan, bas ek wajah do aisa na karne ki? Sawaal wahi hai aur ab 5 sawaal honge.", Sanjiv ke chehre par aaya gussa bahot kuch bata raha tha. Baat farz ke sath sath pariwar ki thi aur in dono me he Sanjiv ne jiwan samarpit kiya tha.
"Shabnam sirf chehra dikhane ke liye bulai gayi thi. Aadmi maine Karam Singh ke kehne par bheje the kyonki wo chahta tha ki Shabnam ko bhi maar diya jaye lekin uski hatya alag dikhni chahiye.", Lohan ko jara bhi bhanak na thi ki is samay awaaj ke sath sath video bhi banai jaa rahi thi is tehkikaat ki. Chere par paseena chhalak aaya tha beshak yaha halki thandak thi.
"17 saal pehle mandir ke saamne humla tumne karwaya tha na Shankar chacha ke bete par? Aadmi samajhdar ho toh naam apne aap bata doge.", Itni purani ghatna par sawaal wo bhi Sanjiv ke mooh se sunn kar Rameshwar ji bhi pareshan hone lage the. Lekin iska sach unhone bhi jaan-na tha.
"Haan. Mera aadmi wahi mara gaya tha us ghatna ko anjaam dete hue. Sarang sahab ne us waqt ki sabse badi supari di thi mujhe, 10 lakh ki. Lekin 3 prayaas me bhi main asafal raha aur kisi aur jurm me jail pahuch gaya. Uske baad kabhi Sarang sahab se baat nahi hui.", Lohan ab is tafteesh me poora sath de raha tha. Uske pariwar ki salamat he jaise sabkuch thi aur apna anjaam wo jaise samajh chuka tha. Sarang Kumar ka naam sunn kar Rameshwar ji ke kandhe par Col sahab ne hath rakhte hue unhe shant rehne ka ishara diya.
"Toh wo nurse kaun thi jisne Narinder Sharma ke navjaat bete ko jehar diya tha?", Sanjiv jaise jajbati he hone laga tha kyonki kuch sawaal usko bhi pareshan kar rahe the.
"Main bilkul nahi jaanta aur jaisa lagta hai toh isme bhi Sarang Sahab ka hath hoga aur wo peeche saboot nahi chhodte. Main nahi jaanta us nurse ke baare me, apne pariwar ki saugandh.", Lohan ke aise bebasi waale chehre ko dekh kar Sanjiv ne gehri saans li aur khud ko shaant karne ki cheshta karne laga.
"Arjun Singh ke baare me kya jaante ho?", Ab Rameshwar ji ko bhi laga ke sawaal disha bhatak chuke hai aur Sanjiv ko ye parat nahi kholni chahiye. Lekin der ho chuki thi kyonki Lohan naam le chuka tha.
"Sarang sahab jawaab de sakte hai iska. Maine toh bas waha se 15 laash he uthai thi afsar lekin wo insaan chahta toh kisi ko bhi zinda na chhodta. Arjun Singh urf Ajju. Bemisaal aadmi tha wo jisko ek aurat ne aansuo ki aad me dhokhe se mara. Ek nihathe ne dhai darjan laashe 10 minute me bicha di thi aur unme aur bhi kayi naam judd jaate Sarang sahab samet he agar wo aurat Neelima aur Shalini naam le kar uske saamne na gidgidati. Bas uske baad un bhediyon ne koyi daya na dikhai us ghutno par gire yodha par. Main toh ek driver tha bas lekin us aurat ko bhool nahi sakta. Hatyara toh main bhi hu lekin mard ka hamesha samman kiya hai maine. Agar Sarang sahab tak na pahuch sako toh main thodi aur madad kar deta hu.", Lohan jaise mureed tha Ajju ka beshak ek apradhi tha par usko jaise wo ghatnakram shat-pratishat yaad tha. Ab Rameshwar ji uske kareeb aa chuke the.
"Ye Neelima wahi hai na jo xxxx shehar ke tehsildar ki beti thi?"
"Ji Pandit ji aur Sarang sahab ki eklauti bhanji bhi. Mujhe 4 ghante me dhoond liya toh isko 3-4 din me toh khoj he lenge. Waise kar aap bhi kuch nahi sakte Sarang sahab ke saamne.", Lohan ke kataaksh ka saaf matlab tha ki Sarang Kumar apne aap me he ek bada naam tha. Lekin yaha aaj Rameshar ji ka dimag sarak chuka tha apne ladle bete ka hatyakaand sunn kar.
"Balbir, tum baaki naam nahi le rahe ho. Aur iska matlab hai tum Sanjiv ki baat bhool gaye.", Itna sard kathan aur aankhon se nikalti ushma se Lohan bhi seham sa gaya tha.
"Zorawar, Bhawani, Chandarbhan, Karam Singh ke sath Avdhesh Mishra bhi shamil tha us sabme. Pandit ji, wo sabhi toh ab zinda nahi rahe aur inka kehna hai ki Avdhesh ji bhi maare gaye kal raat. Isliye ye naam nahi liye maine aur us aurat ko Sarang sahab apne sath he car me le gaye the lekin phir maine usko bhi kahi nahi dekha."
"Isko maar do Sanjiv aur iska pariwar bhi shayad iski asliyat se parichit nahi hai. Wo batana matt bhoolna.", Rameshwar ji uthne lage toh Lohan bifarta hua gidgidane he lag pada.
"Sach kehta hu Pandit ji ki main itna he janta hu. Mujhe beshak maar dijiye lekin mera pariwar sukoon se apni he alag duniya me hai, usko matt beech me laaye. Haan.. Ajju Singh ne us aurat ko kaaki keh kar pukara tha. 2 aur bhi jawan chehre the jo dur the lekin dono he jaise nayi suhagane thi. Ek patri ke sath wali diwar ke pare aur dusri aam ke junglaat se sab dekh rahi thi. Main nahi jaanta ke wo kaun thi. Mere pariwar ko baksh dijiye main hath joddta hu.", Rameshwar ji itna sunn kar shaant ho gaye the. Wo do nav-byahta unhe bhi maloom tha ke kaun thi lekin 'kaaki' ne uljha he diya.
"Nirmal Singh ji, Balbir ko uchit dekhrekh me dhyaan se rakhwaiye. Iski chikitsa ka prabandh bhi behtar ho ye jarur sunishchit kijiyega. Bete, hum aaj bhi apradh ko khatam karne me yakeen karte hai, apradhi ko nahi. Lekin ab tumhe sahi karavas bhogna hoga aur hum tumhare pariwar ki bhi uchit dekhbhal karenge.", Rameshwar ji ne ek bar fir apni dariyadili dikha di thi lekin Sanjiv abhi ashaant tha aur apne dada ji ke aise kehne par agla sawaal wo puch nahi sakta tha Lohan se.
"Pandit ji, is rehamdili ke badle ek baat aur batana chahta hu aapko.", 2 policewale abhi Lohan ko lene he aaye the aur hath khulte he usko dono taraf se pakad kar wahi ruk gaye.
"Batao aisi kya baat hai jo tum hume itne vishwas ke sath batana chahte ho?"
"Sushila Singh ki supari uthi hai 2 din pehle aur kaam karwane wala koyi unke he gaanv ka hai. Ho sake toh dekh lena shayad wo jo koyi bhi hai uske pas sabhi sawalo ka jawaab ho.", Ab Sanjiv ne ek lambi saans bhari aur apne dada ki taraf dekha.
"Tumne nahi li uski supari? Waise wo beti hai hamari toh usko hum kuch hone nahi denge Balbir."
"Behan mana hai maine bhi Sushila ko pandit ji. Bhawani jaisa bhi tha lekin mera khaas tha aur Sushila uske sath meri bhi badi behan rahi hai. Main pata he karwa raha tha lekin Shankar ne ye sab kar diya."
"Shankar se bach gaya ye atcha hua Balbir. Wo sawaal nahi karta aur hum jaan nahi lete. Dhanyawad is sehyog ke liye. Chalo Sanjiv, isko thik hone ke baad he pesh karna hai.", Pandit ji pehle he apne mitro aur paute ke sath nikal chale aur Lohan kadi suraksha me surakshit jagah pahucha diya gaya tha.
"Tum kehte ho ki Arjun bhi yaha tak pahuch gaya hai jaha tak Balbir ne jaankari di?", Pandit ji shaam ke dhundalke me ab ek taraf Sanjiv se guftgu kar rahe the aur Col sahab DIG ke sath.
"Ye Sushila ji wali jaankari nahi thi aur munna jaankari rakhta hai Arjun Singh wale ghatna ki lekin asli apradhi tak wo bhi nahi pahucha hai. Hum dono he mil kar kaam kar rahe the aur uska kehna hai aap bhi is maamle me sahayta kar sakte hai. Ab shayad wo aage khojbin na kare gharwalo ki wajah se lekin wo pata lagana chahta hai ki Arjun Singh ji ke sath asliyat me kya hua tha."
"Bete, mujhe bas is baat ka he darr tha kahi Arjun Ajju ko samajhne na nikal pade. Ye naam humne bhi kabhi jubaan par na aane dia kyonki is naam se humne ek naya beta paa liya tha. Balbir ki he kathni dekho, wo ek dushman ki sirf tareef he kar raha tha. Mujhe toh itna sab bhi maloom na chal paya tha ki kaise darindo ne ek saaf-dil insaan ko gher kar mara. Shaadi tak is maamle me koyi khojbin na karna bete aur Arjun ke sath main tumhari maujdgi me he araam se vichar karunga.", Rameshwar ji badi safaai se apni aankhon me aayi nami ko chhupa gaye. Aaj unke jakhm fir se hare ho gaye the aur wo kuch waqt apni dharampatni ka sath chahte the.
"Chalo bhai Satish ab ghar chalna chahiye. Kal Nirmal ke sath waise bhi golf ka karyakram toh hai he.", Unki baat par dono he idhar chale aaye aur Nirmal Singh ji ne bhi hath milate hue abhaar jataya aur ye apne ghar ke liye nikal chale. Sanjiv ka bhi antarman vyathit tha jaise aaj wo is mamle me bas kuch he duri par atak gaya tha lekin sach ye bhi tha ki Lohan ne khud sari jaankari di thi unhe. Ab intjaar tha toh Arjun ka jiske saamne unke dada ji shayad is rehasyamayi purush ka purn ullekh kare.

Halka andhkar hone par Sangwan ke farmhouse se Bhuppi, Mehul, Param aur bade Sangwan ji ja chuke the. Shankar ko bhi Narinder ne Bhuppi ke he ghar bhej diya tha jis se wo ab araam kar sake. Tarantaal me Narinder ke sath Umed ki alag he daud jaari thi. Aadha ghanta uchit gati se tairne ke baad dono he kinare aa ruke toh bahar baithe Daleep ne he sulagti ciggratte Umed ki taraf badhai.
"Marne ka irada hai kya Daleep bhai? Saans chadhi hui hai aur aap ye pila do. Raat haseen hone wali hai kal ki tarah, Rajesh ko bula lijiye aap tab tak hum dono bhi tayaari kar lete hai.", Daleep ke chehre par chamak aa gayi thi naya mission sunn kar.
"Aaj kaha dhava bolna hai?"
"Aaj dhava nahi bolna Daleep bhai, sendh lagani hai.", Ye baat Narinder ne kahi thi Umed ki jagah. Dono ke he balisht sharir bhigne par kahi jyada he aakarshak lag rahe the. Narinder aur Umed ne hamesha he sharir ko mehatava diya tha har jaruri cheej ke sath.
"Toh usme Rajesh ko kyu bulana? Sendh lagane ke liye toh main akela he bahot hu bas jagah aur aadmi batao.", Daleep ke aatmvishwas ko dekh kar Umed aur Inder muskurane lage.
"Rajesh ka sath chalna bahot jaruri hai bhai. Ye samajh lo ke waha sendh lagane wali chaabi Rajesh he hai aur baaki kaam hum teeno ne karna hai.", Narinder ki niyantrit baat sunn kar Daleep ne aashwasan me sar hila diya.
"Badlo bhai tum log kapde pehno aur itni he der me wo bhi aa jayega.", Daleep kash lagata hua building ke andar chala gaya aur peeche ye dono ek dusre ko dekhne lage.
"Toh tumhe ummeed hai ki Karam Singh ke ghar se humko jaankari milegi?", Umed ne ye sawal karne ke sath he bahar rakhi baniyan se khud ko saaf karna shuru kar dia. Sachmuch ek datiyakar insaan he tha Umed Singh aur sadhe 6 feet kad sirf lambai maatra nahi, jism bhi utna he bejod tha. Kam toh Narinder bhi nahi tha bas dikhne me wo ek tagda khoobsurat abhineta lagta tha.
"Ummeed nahi main yakeen se kehta hu ke Karam Singh ke ghar humko bahot se sawalo ke jawaab milne wale hai Gajju. Wo akela reh raha tha aur uski maa Damyanti bhi ab udhar nahi rehti. Mujhe lagta hai ke wo bilkul sahi jagah hai chhanbin ki."
"Aur Rajesh ka is sabse kya lena dena?"
"uski car ka lena dena hai bhai. Wo wahi khadi karenge jaha Karme ka katal hua tha. Daleep najar rakhega aur hum teeno uske ghar ki chhanbin karenge.", Narinder ne wahi apna geela kachha utarte hue apni baniyan se us khaas hisse ko sukhane ka upkram kiya aur aise he nirvastra ghaas par chalta kapdo ke pas aa gaya. Umed bhi samaan awastha me tha aur jald he dono patloon pehan kar hatho se he baal sukhane lage. Aaj shayad ye ek sahi thikane par sendh lagane chale the aur ye bhi ho sakta tha ki unhe aisa kuch mile jis se kadmo ke niche ki jameen hil jaaye. Ab bas raat haseen hone ka intjaar tha Rajesh ke aane ke sath sath.

Market me kharidi karne aur ghoomne firne me he raat ke 8 baj gaye the in teeno ko. Arjun ne dinner ke liye agli market jaane ka kaha toh dono he behno ne saaf inkaar kar diya. Aaj pehli bar in dono ladkiyon ne poore 50 hajaar ka samaan kharid liya tha aur Arjun ka purse abhi tak jyo ka tyo tha. Ye paise usko maa se mile the aur sath he daadi ke diye 200000 shesh the.
"Ye halka fulka khaane ke chakkar me Aarti ne meri toh jaan he nikaal di. Main toh dinner nai karne wali."
"Mera bhi haal aisa he hai hai Alka. Peit me jara si bhi jagah nahi hai aur araam ki talab kuch jyada he ho rahi hai. Maa ka samaan savere he sametenge.", Dono ki aisi halat dekh Arjun hansta hua unhe liye ghar wapis aa gaya. Sachmuch aaj Alka aur Aarti ne dil khol kar samaan kharida tha, sirf apne liye he nahi balki Ritu, Preeti, Komal ke sath sabhi behno ke liye. Romela ji ka bhi samaan ek alag gatte ke bakse me band karke wahi pichli seat par rakha tha. Car jaise he ghar ke saamne ruki toh Afsana aur Zubeidaa bhi scootry se aa pahuchi.
"Ye Afsu ke itni raat me aane ki wajah didi?", Car se nikalte he Aarti ne Zubeida didi se sawaal kiya jo sab bhula kar Arjun se gale lag kar mili.
"Kyu? Pehle bhi toh tumhare sath rahi hai na raat me. Aur ye janaab toh Eid ho gaye hai. Shehar me bhi hai lekin sehan me nahi.", Zubeidaa ki baat par Arjun kya jawab deta jabki usko khud atcha lag raha tha unse gale milna. Koyi 30 second tak wo waise he gale lage rahe.
"Abba intjaar me honge baji.", Afsana toh is waqt bhi salwar kameej ke sath mooh par dupatta liye the.
"Oh meri Benajir Bhutto, jisko dekhne aayi hai kam se kam apna toh istakbaal karwa de. Dhyaan rakhna iska tum sabhi, aajkal jara kaayde me nahi hai madam.", Zubeida ne bina kisi ki parwah ke Arjun ka gaal choomne ke baad aisa he Aarti aur Alka ke sath kiya aur wapis chali gayi. Afsana larajti hui Aarti ke sath andar chali gayi.
"Tum ruka jara yaha.", Alka ne Arjun ka hath thaam liya. Wo jaise is pal me Ritu he bann gayi thi.
"Kya hua didi.?", Besakhta Arjun ke mooh se bhi didi he nikla aur Alka thoda gambhir ho gayi.
"Ishq bahot kuch badal deta hai mere bhai aur aaj main 2 ghante Afsana ke ghar rahi hu. Ye tumse koyi alag he ishq kar baithi hai dhyaan rakhna."
"Matlab"?
"Isme aur Ritu me sie kisi ek ko ko chun na pade toh?"
"Kya vahiyaat sawaal hai. Saari duniya ek taraf aur Ritu ek taraf. Zindagi ka aakhiri saans bhi lu toh wo bas Ritu ke aagosh me. Aisa fir kabhi matt kehna."
"Maan liya. Preeti aur isme se?"
"Wo jaan hai meri. Aap hamesha mere sath ho Ritu ki tarah lekin sanvara toh mujhe aur Preeti ko aapne bhi hai. Ye sawaal jayaj nahi hai. Waise bhi maine abhi tak Afsana se baat nahi kari hai."
"Baat karna Arjun. Ye Ishq kuch khaas dikh raha hai aur agar bandishe todd gaya toh qayamat na ho jaye. Zubeida ki baat alag hai, wo tumhe pyaar karti hai aur uski koyi chahat nahi hai tumse. Afsana toh jaise ek paheli he hai, suljhane me he nahi aa rahi.", Alka ne baat khatam karte hue thande ki bottle, milk badaam aur thoda khaane peene ka saman car se nikala aur ghar ke andar chali aayi. Arjun sath he tha is pal me. Aaj wo pehli baar Alka ko khul kar nahi bata paya tha us asadharan shann ke baare me jo usko Afsana ko dekh kar hua tha. Ye romanch kahi kuch aur he na karwa de.
"yar Alka main toh thodi der araam karte hue tv dekhne lagi hu.", Aarti ab dheele vastro me thi aur Afsana ne pehli baar naqaab hataya tha is tarah gairo ki maujdgi me. Alka bhi un sunehari aankhon se sammohit si ho gai.
"Wow. Tum haseen ho yar. Ghar par bhi tumne naqaab liya hua tha din me."
"Waha hum mehfooj nahi the us waqt. Chacha ke sath unke bhi dost aaye hue the dopehri ke khaane par. Hume atcha nahi lagta koyi hume cheej samjhe aur paymaaish kare.", Afsana ki muskurahat toh sachmuch kamaal thi. kandhari anaar se surkh honth, wo nakkashidar chehra aur jism dhaka hua.
"yar tum na mera test le rahi ho. Mujhe tumse pyaar ho gaya toh please gaali matt dena.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Aarti bhi hans di. Arjun unke peeche se kamre me ja chuka tha apne.
"Myassar karna gar chehra dekh kar ho toh iltija hai, khwahishe ahduri aise he raha karti hai. Aapne sirf hamara chehra dekha aur ishq farmane ki hidayat kar di. Hum kabile-gor nahi hai chehre se niche.", Chhui-mui si Afsana aaj behtar bol rahi thi aur ye asar kuch Alka ka bhi tha. Alka thi he aisi jo kahi na kahi sabse tej yuvti thi is pariwar me.
"Dekho darling, abhi toh araam karne ka dil hai mera. Raat 11-12 tak tumhe jarur utha dungi apni neend poori karne ke baad.", Alka ne itna kaha aur wo Aarti ke kamre ki taraf badh chali. Arjun track pajama aur tshirt pehne ek bada cartoon samaan ka bhare darwaje se bahar nikal gaya. Aarti dekhti rahi aur waisi he najar Afsana ki thi. Arjun apni chachi ka bataya samaan car ki lambi dikki me sahi tarah se rakhne laga. Usne yahi thik samjha tha samay bachane ke hisab se.
"Yar agar tujhe bura na lage toh Arjun ke liye doodh garam kar dena. Main bas naha lu kyonki halki thakavat ho rahi hai phir araam se kamre me he baatein karenge.", Ab Aarti ke bhi hath khade ho gaye the. Savere 5 baje jaagne ke baad usne bhi araaam kaha kiya tha.
"Inhe doodh ki jarurat hogi toh hum dekh lenge. Waise Alka didi agar aapke bister par sone gayi hai toh hum kaha neend farmaye?"
"Agar dikkat na ho toh wahi aa jana mere kamre me. Priyanka didi ka bhi kamra khaali hai in case tumhe dikkat ho toh hum dono didi wale kamre me so jayenge.", Aarti bata he rahi thi aur Arjun wapis kamre ki aur chal diya. Wo jaise thaan chuka tha ki abhi sab samaan dikki me bhar dega.
"Let the kite go it's own way honey. Mushayre ke bahar toh humne sabhi shayar sharabi dekhe hai. Aap araam farmaye, hum Priyanka baaji ke kamre me he araam farma lenge.", Ab toh Aarti ka bhi maatha thanak gaya tha. Ye Arjun ka asar tha toh bhugatana usko he tha. Lekin wo kya he kehti is pyaari gudiya ko.
"Jaha dil kare waha mehfil laga lenge sanam tumhare sath.", Aarti ne bas itna he kaha aur khilkhilati hui Priyanka didi ke kamre wale bathroom me chali gayi. Alka bhi araam karne se pehle nahane he lagi thi aur Arjun apni chachi ka samaan gatte ke bakse me sahi se jama raha tha. Wo savere ke bharose kuch chhodne wala nahi tha aur waise bhi kal usko Jagtar bhai se dhero baatein karni thi.
"Aap jab kahiyega hum doodh garam kar denge.", Arjun inhi najro se bachne ke liye toh kaam me masroof tha lekin waah ri kismat. Pehle Afsana ke ghar se dur raha, phir usko bahar bhi niharne se bachta raha aur ghar me aate he wo samaan ke sath lag gaya. Afsana khud he chal uski taraf toh aane se rahi, yahi socha tha aur ye soch Afsana ne he badal di. Wo sunehari aankhein aur tambai baal uski najro ke saamne the. Jubaan jaise lakwa maar gayi aur aankhen sthirr. Afsana ki bhi dhadkan badhne lagi toh wo bina jawaab sune Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi. Darwaja band karke wo bister par baithi bas Arjun ke chehre ko yaad kar rahi thi. Har bar kyo dono he khamosh ho jaate hai ek dusre ko dekhne par?
"Oh madam ji, kaha khoyi ho? Waise sach kahu toh tumhe aaj pehli bar he din me dekha tha aur koyi itna khoobsurat bhi ho sakta hai iska andaja bilkul nahi tha.", Alka bathroom se bahar aayi toh bas ek ghutno tak ki dheeli nikkar aur jaangho tak lambai wali tshirt pehne thi. Andruni vastro ka abhaav nukile nipple saaf bata rahe the. Afsana ne bhi Alka ko dhyaan se dekha toh uski lambai, kamar se niche tak aate baal, badaami chehra aur sharir ke itne jabardast kataav se wo bhi prabhavit hue bina na reh saki. Uski badi behan bhi ek behtareen yuvti thi jiske sondarya ki paribhasha hajaro aankhen karti rahi lekin Alka bhi khaas thi.
"Aap hamari tareef kar he hai? Jo khud aafreen ho unke saamne toh hum kuch bhi nahi.", Jis tarah Afsana ke honth najakat se hilte the, Alka ko bada atcha lagta tha dekhna. Chehre par khushi aa gayi thi apne aap he.
"Aisi baat nahi hai Afsana. Jaisa suna thi ki tum naqaab ya burka pehne rehti ho hamesha toh mere dimaag me kuch aur he tasvir bann gayi thi. Aarti ne thoda bahot he bataya tha tumhare baare me aur kuch mujhe Priyanka didi ne bataya. Aaj tumhe saamne dekha toh wo sabhi khayaal gayab he ho gaye. Tum kisi Arab desh ki rajkumari si ho, bilkul gudiya si.", Alka goad me takiya liye bister par baith gayi. Ab Afsana ke chehre par halki laali aa chuki thi. Ye thode bahot badlaav usme kuch samay se aaye the aur Zubeidaa baaji ne he usko nikhara tha.
"Wo hum aaj bhi pehante hai baaji, aapne dopehari me dekha he tha. Bas jaha jaruri ho waha. Waise ammijaan hamari paidaish par Marrakesh-Safi thi, ye Morocco ka ek shehar hai aur hamare chashm (eyes) wahi ki saugaat hai.", Alka ne is jaankari par jaise he Afsana ka wo safed mom sa hath thama toh ek pal me he uske chehre par thodi bechaini si aa gayi.
"Yar ek toh main baaji-didi nahi hu, dost hu jaise Aarti hai. Aur tum khaas ho jo pehli najar me he pata lag jata hai. Itna darti kyu ho waise? Main ladki hu aur mere hath pakadne par tumhe ghabrahat nahi honi chahiye.", Alka ne ab apne dusra hath bhi Afsana ki hatheli ke upar rakh diya.
"Wo Zubeidaa baaji kehti hai ke is daur me kisi ka eitbaar nahi."
"Hahaha.. arre yar sachmuch tum masoom ho. Tumhari didi se aaj maine ek ghante se jyada baatein ki hai waha tumhare ghar. Unhe sabse jyada maja aata hai tumhe satane me aur tum unki kahi har baat ko sach maan leti ho. Wo bata rahi thi ki tum kitni majhab ki pakki ho aur college me hone ke bawjood abhi tak jyada duniya ki khabar nahi rakhti.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Afsana jhemp gayi lekin halki narajgi bhi thi mann me apni badi behan ke liye.
"Aur unhone aapse kya kaha hamare baare me?"
"Bata rahi thi ki tum kitni pyaari ladki ho. Lekin aaj ke jamane me tumhara yahi life-style pareshani paida kar sakta hai. Unhe iski tension rehti hai aur wo tumhe dhire dhire badalne ki koshish bhi kar rahi hai. Waise tum galat nahi ho Afsana bas ye life ghar ki char diwari se thodi bahar bhi hai. Suna hai pehle toh tum ghar se akeli bahar bhi nahi nikli yaha tak aane ke liye?", Ab Afsana ko jaise khud par he thodi sharmindgi hone lagi. Alka ka hath sehlana usko protsahit karne laga bolne ke liye.
"Hum khaufjada the aur abhi bhi hum akele bahar nahi nikalte. Ghar se bahar ek Aarti he hai jinke sath hamara kuch wajood hai."
"Darr? Agar chaho toh mujhse baat kar sakti ho aur baatein apne aap tak he rakhna jyada dukh deti hai. Darr insaan ko kamjor he banata hai dost. Haadse sabke sath hote hai, kisi ke sath chhote kisi ke sath bade lekin kya hum unhe yaad rakh kar ghutan me jinda rahe? Ye toh aur bhi dukhdayi hoga. Agar phir bhi tumhe lagta hai main galat keh rahi hu toh maaf kar dena. Mujhe shayad sahi andaja nahi hai ke tumne kya jhela hai."
"Humne kuch bhi nahi jhela hai. Bas kuch bure log ladkiyon ki asmat-aabru par he nigaah rakhte hai. Kya yahi insaaniyat hai bahar duniya me?", Afsana ke shabdo se he pata chalta tha ki wo kitni saral ladki hai aur uska darr har aadmi ke liye tha jo galat najar rakhta ho.
"Tum galat nahi keh rahi ho Afsana lekin har insaan bura nahi hota. Kuch chahat se dekhte hai aur kayi galat iraado se lekin kisi ki koyi majaal nahi jabtak ladki majboot rahe. Tumhe bas apni life aur khushiyan dekhni chahiye na ki aise log jo maayne nahi rakhte. Main bhi college jaati hu aur hum 7 behne hai waha ghar par. Dekhne wale dekhenge aur humko unse koyi matlab nahi. Waise tumne sirf aisa he dekha hai ya kuch bura bhi?", Ye Alka thi jo baal ki khaal nikal leti thi aur saamne wale ko pata bhi nahi chalta tha.
"Zubeidaa baaji ko ek baar kisi ne sataya tha. Hum school me the us waqt aur baaji college ke pehle saal me. Wo ladke galat iraade rakhte the aur baaji ne kabhi unhe najar bhi nahi kiya jaisa aap kehti hai. Phir bhi unhone unki asmat kharaab karni chahi, Narinder chacha ji na hote toh baaji ke sath kuch bhi ho sakta tha. Ab bataye ki agar baat is hadd tak chali jaaye toh kya hoga? Har baar toh koyi nek banda hifajat ke liye maujood nahi ho sakta."
"Toh humko he hifajat karni chahiye apni. Waise tumhare liye toh main bhi ek pal behak sakti hu.", Alka ne jo jaankari leni thi wo lene ke baad ab mahol badalne ki ye masti bhari baat keh di. Ek pal ke liye Afsana ka chehra he safed ho gaya.
"Tauba. Baaji sahi kehti hai ke jamane ke sath bahot kuch badal raha hai. Aap aise vichar rakhti hai hamare baare me?"
"Hahaha.. Kisi din tumhe pyaar ho gaya na sahi ladke se toh pakka tum uski baahon me he saans todd dogi. Yar ladki ho kar ek ladki se ghabra rahi ho tum. Hahaha.. majaak kar rahi hu aur dost masti bhi nahi karte kya aapas me?", Ab Afsana ke chehre par thodi sharam aur wahi gulabi rangat aa chuki thi.
"Hum ishq me yakeen nahi karte aur aisi baatein atchi nahi lagti.", Abhi wo aage kuch kehti us se pehle he darwaje par dastak hui. Alka khadi hone lagi toh Afsana ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Aapke bhai bhi ho sakte hai aur jaha tak hume lag raha hai aapne andruni kapde nahi pehne hai seene par. Ye chaadar le lijiye, hum kholte hai darwaja.", Alka ki hansi chhoot gayi itna sunn kar. Phir khud ko shaant karti hui wo Afsana ki baat samajh gayi. Sahi keh rahi thi kyonki Arjun ke sath Alka ke khaas rishtey ka usko pata bhi nahi hona chahiye.
"Shehjadi sahiba, doodh ubal kar bahar nikal gaya. Atchi baat hai ki samay rehte maine dekh liya nahi toh ho gaya tha aaj kaam.", Ye Aarti thi aur thik Alka jaise kapdo me bas abhi seene par bra pehni hui thi tshirt ke andar.
"Oh maaf karna, hum baaton me masroof ho gaye the Alka baaji ke sath. Aapne doodh de diya apne bhai ko?"
"Ubalta hua he de du kya? Waise darwaja band kyu tha yaha?", Aarti ko ab wo kaise batati ki Arjun ne bechain kar diya tha aur khud ko shaant karne wo is kamre me chali aayi thi.
"Aap baithiye idhar, hum bhi kapde badal kar aa jaate hai Priyanka baaji ke kamre se.", Aarti andar jaane ki jagah hansti hui Arjun ki taraf chal di aur Afsana ne Priyanka didi ke kamre ke andar jaate he darwaja band kar liya.
"Haan toh abhi tak kaam khatam nahi hua tumhara?", Arjun ab ye paanchva baksa bhar raha tha. Aarti ke andar aate he darwaja lagane par uska dhyaan taja nahai hui apni behan par gaya toh ek kashish se wo dekhta he raha.
"Iraade nek nahi hai lekin aaj kismat me shayad pyaar karna bhi nahi likha.", Arjun wapis kapdo ko attachi me aur kitabo ko bakse me bharne laga. Aarti dabe paanv uski taraf aati peeche se lipat gayi. Naram ubharo ka wo sparsh aur aise unka lipatna bata raha tha ki chahat Aarti ki bhi wahi hai.
"Raat ko Alka ke pas chale jana."
"Main yahi sone wala Aarti aur jab bhi aane ka dil ho toh yahi aa jana, savdhani se.", Arjun ne palat kar Aarti ko apni baahon me samet liya. Geele hontho par ek minute tak Arjun ke hontho ne bharpoor pyar jataya. Phir araam se dono he dur ho gaye.
"Mere aur didi ke kapde bhi maine bag me rakh liye hai. Jagah hogi itni car me?"
"Car ki dikki abhi bhi aadhi khali hai aur kuch samaan main andar bhi rakh lunga. 10 bajne wale hai toh ab aapko araam karna chahiye.", Arjun bhi jaanta tha ki Aarti aaj raat uske sath rehna chahti thi. Lekin Afsana ke aane ka bhi Arjun ko bura nahi laga tha. Agle 10 minute me wo dono bag aur bakse liye bahar chal diya. Hall paar karte he saamna Bholi begam se hua.
"Aaj raat main yahi sone wali hu. Aarti kaha hai?", Arjun chaah kar bhi sar pe hath na rakh saka. Bas iski he kami thi.
"Andar apne kamre me, tumhara he intjaar kar rahi hai wo.", Gurdeep ke maje lete hue Arjun ne usko andar jaane ko kaha aur hansta hu car ki taraf chal diya. Ye sab samaan aa chuka tha aur ab bas Aarti-Priyanka ke bag laa kar rakhne the. Dikki band karke wo wapis andar chala aaya toh Aarti ke kamre se aati awaajon ne bata diya tha ki Radio chalu ho chuka hai. Priyanka didi ke kamre ka band darwaja dhakelte hue wo andar aaya toh zero ki maddim roshni thi abhi.
'Ye kari hai packing inhone. Chain tak band nahi ki.', Arjun bedhyaani me bas in upar tak bhare bag ko band karne me laga tha aur bathroom ka darwaja khulne ki awaaj jaise sunaai he na padi. Afsana bhi wo bada toliya lapete apni he dhunn me bed tak chali aayi jaha uski poori aasteen ki tshirt aur pajama rakha tha, raat ko pehan ne ke liye. Ab toliya utaar kar bister par rakha toh saansein atak gayi. Bed ke dusri taraf bag me kapde dabata Arjun bhi sunn pad chuka tha neeli roshni me is jaanleva manjar ko dekhte he. Ujle rang ki poore cup wali naram bra aur waisi he rangat ki panty me uske saamne Afsana ka hahakari youvan tha. Afsana hosh me aati us se pehle he Arjun badi teji se kamre bahar nikal gaya. Spring wala darwaja wapis band ho gaya tha.
Afsana ki aankhon me paani aa chuka tha hosh me aate he. Jaise taise kapde pehan kar wo kuch der wahi bister par baithi rahi. Antarman maan he nahi raha tha ke aisa bhi kuch hua hai. Arjun ki aankhein us pal me bhi Afsana ka chehra he dekh rahi thi. Ye yaad aate he Afsana ko halka araam hua lekin dil yahi keh raha tha ke Arjun kya soch raha hoga uski is besharmi par aur ab wo kaise uska saamna karegi. Is haalat me toh aajtak Aarti ne bhi kabhi usko nahi dekha tha. Bujhe mann se wo ek baar aur apna chehra saaf karke Alka-Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi.
Gurdeep toh aadat anusaar patar patar kari ja rahi thi aur Alka ko bhi uski baatein sunn ne me maja aa raha tha. Uski bholi baatein, punjabi kisse aur chehre ke manmohak bhaav kisko pasand na aate. Gurdeep bebaki se Alka ki bagal me aa leti toh Aarti bhi khadi ho gayi.
"11 baj chuke hai madam, ab sona chahiye. Savere 6 baje tak uth gaye toh bhi atcha hai.", Yaha bhi Afsana khamosh he thi aur itne shor me kisi ka bhi dhyaan nahi gaya tha us par.
"Haan yar lekin main toh Alka ke pas soungi. Tu apni gulabo ke sath so, waise bhi wo har waqt sharmati rehti hai.", Gurdeep ki baat par Aarti bhi hansti hui dono ko be bol kar dusre kamre me chali aayi Afsana ke sath.
"Tum leit jao, main jara bahar darwaja dekh aati hu.", Aarti ke kehne par Afsana bister ke dusri taraf khamoshi se karwat ke bal leti gayi. Aankhen khuli thi aur mann vichlit. Ye tabtak shaant nahi hone wala tha jabtak wo Arjun se baat nahi kar leti.Afsana ke liye uski ijjat he jaise zindagi thi aur usko katai ye kabool na tha ke Arjun ke mann me uski koyi galat chhavi bane. Udhar Aarti ne bahar wale darwaje par andar se tala laga paya toh wo hall ke darwaje ko bhi chitakni lagati hui apne kamre me aa gayi. Ghar ki jyadatar roshni ab band ho chuki thi, bas zero ke bulb jagmag the.
"So gayi Afsa? Sorry yar, thakaan ki wajah se mujhe bhi neend aa rahi hai aur tere sath time nahi bita saki.", Cooler ki jyada awaaj na thi jis se Afsana ko sunai na diya ho lekin wo khamosh he rahi aur Aarti ne bhi patli chaadar apne upar audh li. 10 minute se pehle he wo gehri neend me ja chuki thi. Yahi haal barabar wale kamre ka tha jaha Alka Gurdeep ke sath bade araam se so rahi thi. Gaanv se shehar ka lamba safar, fir yaha tak ka safar aur shaam ko atchi bhaag-daud ke baad ab jara bhi himmat na bachi thi in dono me. Sadhe 11 ka waqt ho chala toh Afsana bade ehtiyaat se uth khadi hui. Rasoi me abhi tak doodh ka patila chulhe par tha aur jayaj garam bhi. Ek gilas nivaye doodh ka liye wo dhadakte dil aur kaampte kadmo se Arjun ke kamre tak chali aayi. Neend Arjun ki aankhon se bhi koso dur thi aur is sannatte me lamp ki roshni tale wo jaane kya padhne me vyast tha.
"Aapko doodh dena bhool gaye the.", Itna bhi jaane wo kitni himmat se keh paayi aur Arjun ne ek pal ke liye Afsana ko dekha aur hatho se gilas le kar wahi table par rakhte hue kaha.
"Sorry Afsana, mujhe bilkul bhi nahi pata tha ki udhar aap hongi. Main aapke liye koyi galat khayal nahi rakhta aur wo sab anjaane me ho gaya.", Afsana itna sunn kar jaise baraf si thandi padd gai. Pichle dedh ghante se wo bas yahi soch rahi thi ki usne ek bahot badi galti kar di hai jiska anjaam jaane kya hoga lekin yaha saamne se Arjun maafi maang raha tha. Afsana ko yu khamosh dekh Arjun ne pehli bar usko hath lagaya. Nivaye doodh ko pakadne se wo mom se mulayam hath bhi halke garam the.
"Dekhiye main jaanta hu ke aapko kitna bura lag raha hoga lekin sachmuch jo hua wo anjaane me hua. Aapko dukhi karne ka paap main bhool kar bhi nahi kar sakta lekin agar phir bhi aapko lagta hai wo sab maine jaanboojh kar kiya hai toh saja de sakti hai. Aainda main apna chehra bhi saamne nahi launga.", Arjun ne itna kehte hue hath chhoda toh Afsana ko laga jaise uski rooh he jism se juda ho gayi. Kis sammohan me thi wo ye khabar na thi lekin aaj wo Arjun se bhaagna nahi chahti thi.
"Aapki najro me humne kabhi galat iraade nahi dekhe Arjun. Hum yaha aapse maafi maangne aaye the jo hua uske liye. Hum behaya nahi hai jo andruni kapdo me jism-numaish kare. Ilm hota ki aap waha hai toh hum bahar he na nikalte.", Dheemi awaaj me apna dard bayaan karti Afsana ki sunehari aankhon se bhi dard chhalakne laga. Uski masoomiyat aur saafdili dekh Arjun ko ab jyada he bura lag raha tha. Aankhon me wo aansu jab dil ko dard dene lage toh Arjun ne khade ho kar Afsana ko seene se laga liya. Ye harkat wo kabhi nahi kar sakta tha aur Afsana bhi kabhi aisa kadam nahi leti. Lekin ye pal jaise apvaad tha dono ke liye. Afsana ke chehre ko apne seene se lagaaye wo bade pyar se uska sar thaame khada raha.
"Aap galat nahi ho sakti Afsana aur sach kahu toh main kabhi aapko thes nahi pahuchana chahta. Ye kismat kya khel khel rahi hai mujhe bilkul nahi pata. Main dur rehna chahta hu aapse kyonki jaanta hu aap ek behad shaleen aur saaf-dil masoom yuvti hai. Jo hua hai usko main thik toh nahi kar sakta lekin aapke aansu mujhe gunehgar bata rahe hai.", Arjun ke wo pakad bhi jaise jaanti thi ki aagosh me ek khaas yuvti hai. Bahupash ke jagah ye pakad sirf pyaar bhari thi. Afsana ke hath bhi Arjun ki peeth par the aur wo ab kuch sukoon me thi.
"Aap gunehgar ho bhi nahi sakte Arjun aur hume aapke didar se pareshani nahi hai. Bas darr hai ke aap hamare baare me galat khayaal na bana baithe.", Afsana ke dono hath ab Arjun ki bagal me the aur chehra seene par ek taraf rakhe wo niche dekh rahi thi. Arjun bhi ek sukoon se bhar chuka tha Afsana ko apne seene se lagaye. Jab aage koyi aur baat na hui toh Afsana ko dono ki haalat ka bhaan hua. Wo aaj pehli baar kisi gair ke gale lagi thi, wo bhi ek purush ke. Sharir halka kasamasaya toh Arjun ne he kadam peeche hata liye.
"Sorry. Aapki aankhon me aansu dekh kar pata nahi chala."
"Shukriya. Aur hume bura nahi laga.", Afsana ne najre jhukaye ye chhota sa jawaab diya aur jaane ke liye abhi mudi he thi ki Arjun ki baat sunn kar halchal mach gayi.
"Waise aap saafdil hone ke sath he hadd se jyada khoobsurat hai. Naqaab me raha kijiye, dekhne wale ki nazar bhi aisi khoobsurti ko maila kar sakti hai.", Arjun abhi bhi khada he tha aur Afsana ke palatne par phir se wo unhi aankhon ko dekhne laga jo itni der se jhuki hui thi.
"Aapke dekhne se hum maile nahi honge aur ab hume aapke saamne naqaab rakhne ki jarurat bhi nahi lagti. Neend farmaye, hum bhi jaate hai.", Is baar jaane se pehle Afsana ne jis taraf hath se salaam karte hue Arjun ko dekha tha wo gehra asar kar gaya. Afsana khud he uska darwaja band karti hui chali gai.
'Ab nahi aata kabhi punjab. Jis se bachna tha wahi raat ko saamne aa gai. Bhagwaan isko mat pyaar hone dena mujh jaise insaan se.', Arjun khud se itna bolta hua takiya dabaye bister par leit gaya. Ab bechaini nahi thi aur aankhen jald he band ho gayi. Raat ke kisi pehar wo mansal badan Arjun se lipta toh dheemi raftar se ek lamba sansarg shuru ho gaya is band kamre me.

"Ye sandook khol yar Gajju.", Gaanv ke is band pade ghar me bahar jitni khamoshi thi us se jyada chehal pehal is band kamre me thi. Torch ki roshni me Umed, Daleep ke sath Narinder har cheej ko bade dhyaan se jaanch raha tha. Yaha unhe kuch jaankari toh mili thi lekin wo utni bhi khaas nahi thi. Kone me rakha wo lohe ka bada sandook dekhna baaki tha. Umed ne pechkas se bina tala khole he sandook ka kabja nikal diya.
"Sala ye Karam Singh akela he rehta tha kya? Na biwi na bache aur baaki dono kamre toh aise khaali the jaise unki jarurat he na padi ho kabi. Chal tu dekh andar kya hai, main roshni deta hu.", Sandook ke dhakkan ko pakde Umed torch se roshni dikhane laga aur Narinder ne wo rajaai nikal kar ek taraf rakh di. Yaha ab bahot kuch tha us rajaai ko hatane ke baad. 2 purani album, kuch khatt, shwet-shyaam tasvire aur kuch asla jo purana tha.
"Bandook aur khanjar par hath mat lagana. Dekh hathhi par plastic bandha hua hai.", Umed ne jaise he chetaya toh Narinder ne rumaal se dono he cheej pakad kar charpai par rakh di. Ek lakdi ka baksa bhi tha jispar chhota sa tala laga tha. Aise bakse jyadar suhagane ya yuvtiya purane samay me saaj-sajja ka samaan rakhne ke liye prayog karti thi.
"Ye bahot he purana baksa hai be Gajju. Aisa ek tere bhi ghar tha aur meri maa ke pas bhi. Tala laga hai toh matlab ye kaam ki cheej hai."
"Haan toh nikal le na. Chal kar araam se dekhenge kaunsi sone ki bindi aur chaandi ki libstick hai isme. Wo tabeej bhi utha jo is kagaj ke niche hai."
"Ye kagaj nahi photo hai aur ye toh dhibri (mori) wala sikka hai dhaage me bandha.", Inder ne wo dono cheej uthane ke baad tabeej jeb me aur tasvir charpayi par rakh di. Itne me he Daleep ki awaaj par dhyaan gaya.
"Idhar dekho bhai kya mila. Ye is photo ke peeche tha aur bhi kaagaj hai is folder me.", Diwar par tangi us haar chadhi purani tasvir ke peeche se Daleep ko ek bada packet aur ye tasvir mili thi jisme 8 jawaan aadmi the. Ek ke chehre par gol ghera banaya gaya tha. Narinder sab kaam chhod kar us tasvir ko dekhne laga.
"Behanchod ye kya bawaal hai be Gajju? Dekhiyo jara ye papa aur Raghubir chacha he hai na?", Safed patloon aur kaali kameej he dikh rahi thi un dono ke sharir par, tasvir ke shwet-shyaam hone ki wajah se. Lekin un chehro ko pehchan pana mushkil tha kyonki sabhi 15 se 23-24 saal ke beech ke the.
"Haan be ye toh papa he hai aur ye Sombir tauji hai. Baaki kisi ko toh main nahi pehchanta. Lekin is ladke ke upar gola kyu mara hai jiske kandhe par chacha ka hath hai?"
"Photo daal bhai Daleep wapis packet me. Ye bahot kaam ki cheej hai aur iska yaha hona apne aap me hairani wali baat hai. 50 saal purani photo wo bhi is ghar me."
"Ye sab main jhole me daalta hu, Daleep bhai sandook ka kabja wapis daba do aur nikate hai yaha se.", Umed ke kehne ke sath he agle 5 minute me poora kamra pehle ki tarah vyavasthit ho chuka tha. 2 thaile samaan liye wo teeno he badi kushalta se is purane ghar se bahar nikal gaye. Dur kahi kutto ke rone ki awaaj ke siwa bas inke kadmo ki halki aahat he the is gehri raat me. Aage sunsaan kheto ke beech pagdandi se raste par chalte hue wo 10 minute baad sadak par pahuch gaye.
"Rajesh, kya raha?"
"Kya raha? Ye dekho sala meri car pe driver side ki taraf se ek aadmi goli maar kar gayab ho gaya aur tumhe awaaj tak sunai na di. Chakkar kya hai ye sab.? Pehle toh mujhe bhi samajh nahi aaya tha ke tum wo dummy sath kyu laaye lekin dekho uska bheja udaa diya kambakhto ne aur mujhe mauka bhi nahi mila unhe pakadne ka.", Rajesh ki halat dekh Narinder hans raha tha.
"Saale tum ho sahi nautanki. Kaha hai wo aadmi?", Ab is sawaal par Rajesh muskura diya.
"Dikki me hai harami. Batao goli chalane aaya tha toh chala ke bhaag jaye. Lekin nahi pehle darwaja khatkhatayenge, fir baat bhi karni hai. Kanpati pe ek hath pada toh moot nikal gaya lulli se uski. Baandh ke daal liya dikki me saale ko aur uski fatfati udhar fenk di jhaadiyon me. Chalo ab nikalte hai."
"Goli sachmuch chali thi kya?", Daleep ne chinta se kaha.
"Pagla gaye ho kya Daleep bhai. Ye car meri dilruba hai aur agar wo goli chalata toh maine gaand kaat deta uski. Ab is dummi ko bhi fenkna padega.", Car ki agli seat par plastic ka aadamkad murat bithaya hua tha inhone, kameej pehna kar.
"Abe fenkna matt, apne Daleep bhai ke kaam aayega. Dekh kaise motte chuche hai iske aur laane wale bhi Rajesh tum kamaal hai. Aadmi ka statue mangwaya lekin nahi londiya he pasand hai. Daleep bhai isme chhed kar lena, bhabhi toh ab naraaj hai lekin ye hamesha sath rahegi bina kuch kahe.", Narinder ne wo moorat pichli seat par beech me rakhi toh Daleep sachmuch uske seene par hath firane laga.
"Yaha pe thoda rubber lagwa do bhai toh main kaam chala lunga..", Daleep ki is baat par baaki teeno bhi thahaka laga gaye.
"Hahaha.. mast aadmi ho yar aap. Waise idea bura bhi nahi hai lekin isko aise he rakho main jab America jaunga toh aapke liye chudai wali gudiya leta aaunga. Uske gubbare daba daba kar pelna saali ko.", Rajesh ne car chalu karte hue kaha aur ye hanste hue baaton ke sath jaankari bhi sanjha karne lage. Andhere me gaadi wapis chal padi.
"Gaushala he chalte hai yar.", Narinder ki baat sunn kar Daleep ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Waha is waqt araam nahi kar sakte Inder aur neend liye bina mujhe chain nahi aata. Hotel he sahi rahega."
"Haan, hotel he chalte hai Daleep bhai. Roshni bhi hogi aur sakoon se sara kaam bhi kar lenge.", Rajesh ne bhi apna dimaag dikha diya jiski jarurat nahi thi.
"Oh kaath ke ullu, jo murga dikki main hai usko bhi hotel me rakhega kya?",Ye Umed na kaha toh ab kisi ne koyi sawaal na kiya. Car poori raftaar se gaushala ki aur badhne lagi. Aaj ek bahot badi sendh lagai thi in logo ne aur uske parniaam kya hone waale hai ye toh din nikalne par he pata chalna tha.

Gurdeep ki motti tarbooj si gaand Arjun se buri tarah chipki thi aur peeche se uska ek sudol stann dabate hue Arjun bhi kahi gehre lekin dheeme dhakko se uski tight choot ko apne lund ka abhyast kar raha tha. Paune 4 baje Gurdeep chupke se idhar chali aayi thi aur pichle aadhe ghante me khamosi se chalti ye chudaai ab apne charam par aane wali thi. 3 baar apna kaamras nikalne ke bawjood Gurdeep uska bharpoor sath de rahi thi. Lund se pach-pach ki ye halki awaaj dono ka he maja bakhaan karti rahi.
"ummm.. bas karo aahhh.. din me kiya tha tab bathroom jaane me bhi taklif ho rahi thi.. ufff.. ab toh lagta hai wo bhi mushkil hone wala hai.", Arjun uske maadak awaajo se aur tej dhakke lagane laga.
"Dhyaan rakhna tha na.. hhhhuuuuhh.. ab hone he wala hai.. bas..aahh.. sachmuch tumhara josh ummeed se jyada hai.."
"Ishhh... ho gayi main..aahh.. marr jaungi agar itni baar ye royegi toh.. aahhh... "
"Huhhhhh... lo..", Arjun ne lund choot se nikal kar gaand ke chhed par daba dia. Wo kora chhed naam-maatra he khula tha lekin poora lava usme bharne ke baad he Arjun alag hua.
"Chhhiii.. kar di na manmani.. aahh.. waha nahi lungi tumhara.. aahhh maa..", Dhimi awaaj karti wo bathroom chali gayi aur Arjun uske peeche.
"Ab aur nahi karna.", Nirvastra Gurdeep ke chehre par aseem khushi thi aur uski naa bhi jaisi saaf jhooth. Kharbuje se gol aur motti chuchiya laal padd chuki thi wahi gudadwaar se nikal kar moti sudol jaangho par behta Arjun ka veerya usko aur kaamuk dikha raha tha.
"Main nahane aaya hu darling kyonki sava 4 baj chuke hai. Saaf karo khud ko aur jaldi se wahi chali jao jaha se aayi thi.", Gurdeep ne samay ko gambhirta se liya aur apne sharir par paani udelti saaf karne lagi. Baal bheegne nahi diye aur poore 5 minute me he wo toliya lapete kamre me chali gayi. Arjun nityakriya se farig hone ke baad naha kar bahar aaya toh bister ab saaf tha. Toliya utha kar sharir sukhate hue wo kuch soch he raha tha ki alarm ki bahot halki awaaj sunai padi. Diwar ghadi bhi 5 baja rahi thi lekin itni jaldi kaun uthne laga tha? Arjun ki soch alarm ki awaaj band hone ke sath he khatam ho gayi.
Kapde pehan kar wo atche se tayaar hua aur seedha rasoi me chala aaya. Kisi ko jagane ka koyi irada na tha isliye khud he doodh garam karte hue hall ki light bhi jala di. Alka-Gurdeep jis kamre me thi uska darwaja khula tha aur dono he gehri neend me thi.
'Matlab Aarti ne alarm lagaya tha? Unhe kya jarurat hai itni jaldi uthne ki?', Arjun apne he khayalo me tha aur doodh ubal gaya.
'Ho gaya jyada garam.', Idhar udhar dekhne par jab kuch samajh nahi aaya toh kapde se he patila pakad kar hilate hue doodh thanda karne laga.
"Aap rehne dijiye, main kar deti hu.", Is khanakti awaaj ko sunn kar Arjun palta toh salwar-kameej pehne aur dupatte se seene ke sath sar ko dhake Afsana khadi thi. Nahane ke baad taja gulab si khili Afsana ka ye roop bhi jaanleva tha. Arjun ektak bas usko he dekhta raha.
"Khuli aankhon se khwaab dekhna galat nahi lekin hath me garam patili ke sath dekhna galat hai. Laaiye, hum karte hai aur aap baithak me jaaye.", Is baar Afsana ne ek taraf se kapde par hath rakha toh dono ki ungliya ek dusre ko chhuu gayi. Arjun ne aahista se patila Afsana ke hawale kiya lekin kareeb he khada raha. Saamne ki taraf bani chhoti si almari se Afsana ne jug nikal kar doodh ko faintna shuru kiya toh Arjun ko samajh aaya ki bartan kaha rakhe hote.
"Aapko kasht nahi dena chahta tha aur mujhe in drawers ka bhi pata nahi tha ki bartan yaha honge."
"Aap itni savere uth jaate hai iska ilm nahi tha. Hum pehle he kar dete agar khabar hoti. Saath me kya lenge?", Un gori kalaiyon me khoya Arjun ab kya jawaab deta. Thodi bahot bhi kalai dikh rahi thi toh wo bas isliye ki Afsana ko hatho ko hilana padd raha tha. Uske sabhi paridhan poori aasteen wale he dekhe the Arjun ne. Itne kareeb se wo geele baalo se aati sugandh bhi mahua ka asar karne lagi toh Arjun ne khud ko sambhala. Afsana ne sharmate hue doodh ka gilas Arjun ko thamaya aur bahar jaane lagi. Arjun ko toh ye pata he na chala tha kab doodh gilas me daal diya Afsana ne.
"Rukiye. Main bhi bahar he jaane wala hu toh aapko drop kar dunga."
"Hum khaali hath jaayenge kya? Motor chalane jaa rahe hai jis se paani ki kami na ho.", Arjun is jawaab se khud he jhemp gaya. Afsana kal raat jab aayi thi toh ek bag liye thi aur abhi bhi usne saaf kapde pehne the aur Aarti ke kapde Afsana ke aane wale nahi the. Muskurata hua wo doodh ki ghoont bharne laga. 10 minute baad he Afsana ek baar fir uske saamne thi, hath me bag liye.
"Arjun, tum itni subah kaha ja rahe ho?", Aarti bhi unindi si kamre se bahar chali aayi toh Arjun ko tayaar dekh pooch liya.
"Wo mujhe Jagtar bhaiya se kaam hai toh unhone sadhe 5 baje bola tha aane ke liye. Ghante bhar tak wapis aa jaunga. Nashte ke liye kuch lana hai?", Arjun ki nashte wali baat par Afsana ne ghoor kar Aarti ko dekha jo ab muskura rahi thi.
"Haan, chhole poodi le aana 3 plate. Gurughar ke pas he dukaan hai jo 6 baje he sab banane lagte hai."
"Aapko maloom hain na Aarti ammi ne khaas kaha tha ke aaj naasta hamare yaha hai aapka? 8 baje matlab 8 baje. Aur aap hume hamare ghar tak chhod sakte hai?", Afsana ke gusse ko dekh Aarti aur Arjun bas muskura rahe the.
"Chhodega kyu nahi. Tum kaho toh Arjun goad me le jayega. Hahahaha..", Ab Afsana ka gussa kafoor ho chuka tha aur chehre par sharam chha gayi.
"Chaliye main aapko ghar ke saamne utaar dunga. Aarti didi waise he majaak kar rahi thi.", Arjun ne bag lena chaha toh Afsana ne naa me gardan hilate hue usko apne sath laga liya.
"Aap chaliye hum aate hai.", Arjun car ki chaabi liye bahar chal diya.
"Aap jaanti hai na Aarti aisa majak nahi karna chahiye? Aapke bhai ke saamne he ye behuda baat karni thi?"
"Rehne de meri bholi gudiya, sab jaanti hu main. Tere gaal aise he gulabi nahi hue the aur abhi tu nikal, naaste par teri aisi khinchai karungi yaad rakhegi.", Aarti ke kathan me alag he josh tha aur sakuchati si Afsana uska hath pakde bahar chal di.
"Aap ye maskhari ammi ke saamne matt kariyega. Waise pehli baar hum aise jaa rahe hai, kuch galat toh nahi hain na?"
"Oh meri maa, ye mera bhai hai aur aunty ji isko jaanti hai bachpan se. Is mohalle me tujhe shayad he koyi jaanta ho jo tu itni parwah karti hai."
"Humko sabhi jaante hai ke hum Afsana Hussain hai.",Afsana ke bholepan par Aarti ko hansi aa gayi.
"Tere naam ko aur tere burke ko jaante honge lekin ye jo pari jaisi sundar ladki hai na isko yaha kisi ne nahi dekha. Ja wo tera intjaar kar raha hai. Mere bhai se thoda dur rehna, keh deti hu.", Aarti jaldi se darwaja band karti hui andar bhaag aayi.
"Aapko maar ki jarurat hai thodi.", Hansti hui Afsana ke motiyon se daant aur surkh gulabi adharo ko dekhta Arjun fir se dhyaan bhatakne laga. Darwaja band hone ki awaaj par usko hosh aaya lekin Afsana pichli seat par ja baithi thi.
"Driver wali feeling le rahi hai aap toh.", Arjun ne ye baat shishe me dekhte hue kahi aur Afsana ne dupatte ka ek seera chehre par kar liya.
"Hum aapki tauheen nahi kar rahe hai lekin sath baithna sawaal bann sakta hai. Aapko bura laga toh hum utar sakte hai.."
"Hahaha.. Matlab aap hain kya? Aisi chhoti chhoti baaton se bhala bura kisko lagta hai. Main apni didi aur maa ko bhi pichli seat par baitha kar he gaadi chalata hu. Aur atcha hai ki aap pichli seat par hai, nahi toh gaadi chalate hue dhyaan bhatakna khatarnaak ho sakta hai."
"Bas kijiye ab. Dekh abhi bhi aap idhar he rahe hai aur aisa karna galat hai.", Arjun ne ye baat turant maan li aur khamoshi se sadak par dhyaan dene laga. Shaant mahol aur park me sair karte hue gine chune log. Lekin ab Afsana ko ye khamoshi khatak rahi thi. Wo aaine me lagatar dekh rahi thi jaise Arjun se ab najar milegi. Ghar ke saamne car rukte he wo hosh me aayi. Bina kuch kahe wo seedha gate kholti hui andar chali gayi. Arjun ne bhi car ko Jagtar bhai ke ghar ke pas wale park ki taraf ghuma liya. Aaj bahot kuch jaankari leni thi unse gaanv aur waha ke logo ke baare me.

Jawaan Din-Haseen Raat (3)
"Maa, Arjun apne Pandit ji ka pauta hai aur college me jo vakya hua tha na waha isne he madad ki thi.", Arjun us aalishan drawing hall me Jagtar ke pas he baitha tha jaha pichli bar gehra sannatta tha. Aaj ghar pe Jagtar aur uski mata ji maujud the lekin Jasleen pados me he Kirti ke ghar gayi hui thi. Jagtar ne Arjun ka parichaya diya toh uski mata ji ne bade he sneh se Arjun ke sar par hath firate hue aashirwad diya.
"Sanskar aur sewa ke liye alag he sthaan hai beta tumhare pariwar ka. Bahot khushi hui tumhe saamne dekh kar aur apne bacho ka ek sahi dost dekh kar. Waise toh Jaggi bhi bahot atcha aur jimmewar hai beta hai lekin tumhare baare me pata chala toh milne ki bahut itcha thi.", Arjun aur Jagtar ek-ek sofe par baithe the aur Jagtar ki mata ji ne kaanch ki table par dono ke liye doodh ke sath mewe rakhe aur unke saamne wale bade sofe par baith gayi.
"Aunty ji shiksha me toh aapne bhi koyi kami nahi aane di hai. Bhaiya dharam-karam ke sath sath kitne jimmewar hai ye main pichli mulakaat me he dekh chuka hu. Aur jaisi sakratmak urja aapke ghar me vyapt hai us se saaf pata chalta hai ke aap swayam he sidhhant aur sanskaro ko mehtava sarvopari rakhti hai. Pehli guru maa he hoti hai har bache ke jiwan me aur maa shresth hoti hai.", Arjun ne ek bar fir unki taraf dono hath jodd kar abhivadan kiya toh aunty ji ke chehre par alag he muskaan aa gayi. Idhar ye tagdi deel-daul wala kutta matakta hua aaya aur Jagtar ki goad me aa baitha. Wajan kahi jyada he tha uska lekin jaise wo khud ko abhi tak pilla he samajhta tha.
"Lo dekh lo sanskar. Ye halat hai yaha ghar ki aur tumhara ye bhai abhi tak bada nahi hua hai."
"Jeus naam hai na iska? Aapne toh iske sath bhi koyi farak nahi kiya. Ye dil maa ka he ho sakta hai jo har bache ko bacha he maanti hai.", Arjun dwara apna naam liye jaane se us kutte ne bhi ek baar dekhte hue jeebh nikal kar jata diya ke haa main he Jeus hu.
"Bada atcha laga beta ji tumhare vichar jaan kar. Ye Jeus aur Jaggi dono he ek jaise hai mere liye. Haan ek ghar me mera khayal rakhta hai aur dusra bahar. Waise beta ji main aur Jaggi maharashtra ja rahe hai aur shaadi wale din hamara waha aana mumkin nahi hoga. Main khud waha tumhare pariwar se milne jarur aaungi wapis lautne par."
"Bebe (maa), Jassi ja rahi hai vyaah vich. Appa Bambai toh aaye baad mil aavanage. Arjun bhai maa ne mannat bhi ki hui hai aur ye sab pehle se nirdharit tha isliye pehle he saaf batana uchit hai. Haan Jassi apni saheliyon ke sath shaadi me shamil ho jayegi. Bas behan ka khayal rakhna, jaanta hu ke tum aisa he karoge par ab ek he chaand hai hamare ghar me toh thodi parwah rehti hai.", Arjun ko bada atcha laga tha aunty ji aur Jagtar ka bilkul he saaf baat karna aur dono he pyaar se bhare vyakti the.
"Koyi shikayat ka mauka nahi milega aapko. Ab main chalta hu aunty ji, market me didi bhi intjaar kar rahi hongi. Agli bar jab bhi aana hua toh aapse jarur milne aaunga.", Arjun khada hua toh aunty ji bhi uth gaye. Nimantran patra aur mithai ka dibba ab Jagtar ke hath me tha jo ishare se Arjun ko baithne ka keh raha tha.
"Bitiya ko bhi lete aana tha beta. Lekin main jaanti hu aisa isliye nahi kiya hoga kyonki fir bahana kya banate. Jaggi, iske sath Kirti ke ghar chale jao beta. Card Arjun ka he dena behtar hai.", Jaha Arjun Kirti wala card bhi idhar se de kar nikalna chahta tha ab aunty ji ki wajah se usko unke bhi ghar jana padna tha.
"Chal Jeus, thoda sair karke aate hai.", Jaggi waise he chappal pehne Arjun ke sath chal diya. Arjun ne jaane se pehle aunty ji ka aashirwad liya aur unhone bhi pehli bar ghar aane par halki sakhtai ke sath Arjun ki jeb me shagun daal diya. Bahar sadak par Jeus badi shalinta se in dono ke beech chal raha tha.
"Ye wala Kirti ka ghar hai bhai jo din me hamesha he khali rehta hai. Poora pariwar he business dekhta hai, aunty ji bhi.", Jagtar ne is aalishan ghar ki ghanti bajate hue bataya aur udhar Jeus bagal wale khambe par he taang utha kar apni pehchaan lagane me vyast ho gaya. Ghar aalishan tha lekin ekdum khamosh. Lakdi ka wo bada darwaja khula toh saamne Kirti aur Jasleen dono he khadi thi. Dono he aadhunik yuvtiya is waqt dheeli tshirt aur jhaalar wale pajama pehne bhi behad aakarshak lag rahi thi aur Jasleen ke chehre par sapaat bhaav dekh Arjun ne he najre Kirti ki taraf kar di.
"Hello Kirti.", Arjun ne itna kaha aur Jagtar ye lohe ka gate kholta andar he chal diya Arjun ka hath pakde hue.
"Gate se he hello shallo karoge ab? Kirti, ye shaadi ka card dene aaya hai tumhe. Priyanka ka aana possible nahi hua toh Arjun ko jehmat uthani padi. Aunty ji abhi tak nahi aaye?", Jagtar itna bol kar is jagmag hall me chala aaya aur udhar Kirti ne bade josh se Arjun ka hath thaam liya.
"Thank you so much Arjun aur mujhe Priyanka ne phone par bata diya tha ke tum aane wale ho par time nahi pata tha. Jaggi tumhe pata hai na mom 6 baje tak he aati hai. Main maid ko bol kar thanda banwati hu tum log baitho.", Kirti ne chehre se baalo ki lat kaan ke peeche karte hue kaha toh Arjun ne najre hatate hue ek baar Jasleen ko dekha aur apna jawaab diya.
"Nahi Kirti ji, uski koyi jarurat nahi hai. Main abhi Jaggi bhaiya ke ghar se aa raha hu aur aunty ji ne khila pila kar he bheja hai. Waise bhi thoda jaldi me hu toh rukna munasib nahi hai.", Jasleen uski baat sunn kar andar ki taraf chal di. Jaane kya wajah thi aur abhi tak usne Arjun ko hello bhi nahi kaha tha.
"Jarurat kaise nahi hai? Maan liya aunty ji ne atchi sewa ki hai par yaha bhi pehli baar he aaye ho toh 5 minute baith he sakte ho.", Kirti ne hath pakad kar baithaya toh Arjun bhi 5 minute ke liye maan gaya. Jaggi ne Jeus ko apne pas na dekh idhar udhar najar daudai.
"Oh bhai tum baitho main jara Jeus ko dekh kar aaya. Wo agar park me bhaag gaya toh maa ne hum dono ko he ghar se nikal dena hai is baar.", Jagtar teji se bahar aaya toh Jeus unke he ghar ki taraf ja raha tha jaha Aunty ji khade the.
"Maa bula rahi hai Arjun, main tumse kal savere milta hu bhai kyonki abhi gurughar ka samay ho gaya hai unka.", Jagtar ne hath hilate hue kaha toh Arjun ne bhi thodi hichak ke sath sar hila kar haan keh diya. Arjun aur Jagtar ne savere saadhe 5 baje milne ka samay nishchit kiya tha kuch baatein karne ke liye.
"Mera number nahi hai tumhare pas? Ghar aa rahe ho toh bata bhi sakte the ki kis waqt pahuchne wale ho.", Ab Jasleen ke chehre par sirf gussa he tha aur Kirti rasoi me ja chuki thi. Lakdi ka mukhya darwaja bhi band tha.
"Wo.. wo maine socha ki aap ghar he milogi, college band hai toh.", Arjun shayad Kirti ka ghar hone ki wajah se jyada fikarmand tha. Lekin Kirti ki parwah na karte hue Jasleen waise he gusse me bolti hui uske kareeb baith gayi.
"Aap? Bahot sahi aur har baat khud he soch liya karo ke main kaha milungi aur tum apni marji se he aaoge. Jitni baar phone par baat ki hamesha tumhara haan-hun jaisa jawaab lekin yaha aane ke baad toh araam se phone kar sakte the na?", Arjun apne ghar kaise Jasleen se khul kar baat kar sakta tha jaha koyi na koyi maujud rehta tha. University se 2 baar phone kiya tha lekin dono bar Jagtar se he baat hui thi.
"Wo maine bhi phone kiya tha 2 baar lekin Jaggi bhaiya ne uthaya toh baat nahi ho paayi. Itna gussa aur kam se kam ye toh dekho hum kaha baithe hai.", Arjun ne thodi himmat karte hue Jasleen ka hath apne dono hath ke beech lete hue kaha. Ye sparsh he toh tha jiski kami ne Jasleen ko sataya tha. Pal me he wo khamosh ho gayi. Najre dono ki he ek dusre ko nihar rahi thi aur us khoobsurat chehre par halka dard ubhar aaya.
"Sorry for my bad behaviour. Tumhe kaise batau ki kitna intjaar kar rahi thi main tumhara aur phir aaye bhi toh mujhe yaad nahi kiya. Bura nahi lagega kya?"
"Aaya bhi toh dopahar me he hu aur 3 ghante baad tumhare ghar. Maine kaha tha na ke aise safar par chalne ki koshish matt karna? Tum bahot he pyaari ladki jo Jasleen aur tumhe dard dene wala duniya ka sabse badnaseeb insaan he ho sakta hai.", Arjun ke aisa kehne par Jasleen ne uske hontho par hath rakh diya.
"Shhhh.. Itna bhi jaleel mat karo ab. Bas ho jati hu thodi emotional aur gussa apne upar he aata hai. Waise tum 5 minute me jaane ka kyu bol rahe the?", Jasleen ka patla chharhara jism ab poori tarah se Arjun ke sath juda hua tha baayi taraf se. Wo gori naajuk ungliya hontho par he thi jinhe Arjun ke choomte he sharam se Jasleen ne hata liya. "gande kahi ke."
"5 minute se jyada tumhare pas raha toh phir se thank you le lunga aur ye jagah alag hai. Waise market me didi intjaar kar rahi hongi isliye bhi jaldi jana hai.", Arjun aakhiri baar wale chumban ka jikar kiya toh Jasleen ne khud he uska hath majbooti se pakad liya.
"Chalo utho aur ghar chalo mere sath. 5 minute mere hisse ke abhi baaki hai.", Jasleen ko bhi pata tha ki ab unke ghar bhi koyi nahi hoga. Kirti khaas dost thi lekin uske saamne wo bhi khul kar Arjun se baat nahi kar sakti thi. Jasleen ke khade hote he Arjun ki najar us dheele pajame ke khaas hisse par atak gayi. Jasleen ke tarashe hue madhyam se ubhaar aur lambi taange jaanleva thi. Kirti idhar he chali aayi tray me sharbat liye.
"Ab tum dono uth kar kaha chalne ki tayaari me ho?"
"Ye wapis ja raha hai aur ghar pe cards reh gaye hai jo uthane hai. Main aati hu 5 minute me wapis.", Ye 5 minute jaise aaj har insaan maang raha tha aur Arjun ne dhanyawad karte hue ek saans me sharbat ka gilas khaali karke tray me rakh diya.
"Jaldi he milte hai aur abhi kuch jaruri kaam hai toh jana jaruri hai Kirti ji."
"Samajh sakti hu aur agli baar samay nikaal kar he aana Arjun.", Kirti darwaje tak chhodne bahar aayi aur dono he Jasleen ke ghar ki taraf badh chale.
"Waha shisha bhi laga tha aur tum najre jyada he ghumate rehte hai.", Ghar ke andar aate he Jasleen ne Arjun ke maje lene shuru kar diye.
"Model jaisi ho tum bilkul ya ye kahu ke ek khoobsurat model.", Arjun andar hall me aaya toh Jeus ek taraf ungh raha tha. Aaj ghar me kaam karne wali wo aunty najar nahi aayi thi jo shayad avkaash pe thi. Arjun ke kadam rukne he lage the aur Jasleen hath pakadti usko apne kamre me aa gayi.
"X-ray karne ke baad kitni dhitai se jawaab dete ho. Waise sachmuch bahot gande ho tum.. Ummaahhh.", Jis josh se Jasleen ne Arjun ki kameej pakadte hue apne honth uske hontho se milaye the Arjun dheela he padd gaya. Jasleen ki tadap toh bina kisi milan ke he charam par thi aur uske patle madd-bhare hontho ka swaad bharpoor mithaas se bhara tha. Aisa he chumban Arjun ne kiya tha aur Jasleen jaise us din ko he yaad karti hui apna pyaar dikhane lagi. 25-26 inch ki us makhmali kamar par Arjun ka sparsh hote he Jasleen ki wo badi badi aankhen jhatke me khul gayi. Wo pur-kashish se bas Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Mardana sparsh is andruni naram hisse par nayi tarange paida karne laga. Rengte hue dono hath ne jaise he Jasleen ke kulho ko dabate hue Arjun ke sath atche se chipkaya uski aankhen fir se band ho gayi.
Kampkampate geele gulabi hontho par ab Arjun janleva kalakari karta hua Jasleen ko apna poora ehsaas karwane laga. Jaha Jasleen ke sharir se nikalti khaas mehak Arjun ko uttejit kar rahi thi wahi Arjun ka mardana sparsh aur uske hatho ke majbooti me Jasleen bhi pighalne lagi. Uske madhyam akaar ke thos chuche pehli baar mard ki chhati se dabte hue aur kathor hone lage. Samay se pare inka ye chumban ab ek dusre ki rasna choosne tak aage badh chala. Jasleen ki jeebh ko jitna Arjun apne mooh me pakad kar choosta, utna he wo meetha taral rista hua uske halak se niche utar jata. Ye chumban ab hadd se aage ja raha tha aur Arjun ki hatheli ne Jasleen ka wo kathor ubhar poora muthi me jakad liya. Jasleen ke sharir ka har roya second ke 100ve bhaag me khada ho chuka tha is harkat se. Uske ubhar par bas Arjun ka hath lagne maatra se ek lehar nabhi se uski akshat yoni tak daud gayi. Sharir me asankhya visphot aaj pehli baar he hue the aur Jasleen nidhal hoti hui Arjun ki baahon me pighal gayi.
Aaj se pehle tak Jasleen ko sirf hasthmaithun ka thoda anubhav tha wo bhi akele me yoni ko upar se sehlane tak. Lekin Arjun ke us sparsh ne jaise uski yoni ko ras-vihin he kar diya tha aur wo bhi bina waha kuch kiye. 2 minute baad kahi Jasleen ko hosh aaya toh wo bister par leti thi. Kareeb baitha Arjun bade pyaar se uska matha aur gaal sehlate hue bas usko he nihare ja raha tha. Jasleen ke chehre par jahan bhar ki sharam aur laali vyapt thi jiska bhaan Arjun ko atche se tha.
"Kya ye pehli baar tha?", Arjun ke aise sawaal ne jaise Jasleen ko nirvastra he kar diya. Takiye me mooh chupane ki koshish bhi jab nakaam rahi toh sharmati hui Jasleen ne bhi kehna uchit samjha.
"Har roj toh tum mujhe kiss nahi karte na? Aur aaj kiss se kuch jyada he ho gaya tha. Bahot jyada gande ho tum aur sab tumne kiya hai."
"Waise sach kahu toh mera hath tumne khud he apne yaha rakha tha aur ye nishan tumhare he nakhoon ke hai meri kalai par. Diet lena shuru karo thodi, abhi hath lagane se behosh ho rahi ho aur kal ko thoda aage badh gaye toh pata nahi police mera kya haal karegi.", Arjun se us sparsh ki asliyat pata lagte he wo aur jayda he sharmane lagi thi. Najre churati wo karwat liye dusri taraf mooh karke dhime sawar me bolne lagi.
"Mujhe tumhara sparsh har taraf chahiye aur utne he pyaar se jitna tumne kiss kiya. Waise sachmuch tum bure ho. Ye bhi toh keh sakte the ki tumne khud he hath waha rakha.", Is tarah karwat hone se Arjun ab atche se Jasleen ke ubhre hue nitamb nihar raha tha. Wahi Jasleen bas khayal bana rahi thi ab Arjun kya sochega aur kya bolega. Lekin jaise he apne lachile kulho par Arjun ka hath rengta mehsoos hua, Jasleen ki dhadkan phir se aniyantrit ho gayi. Wo jhallar wala dheela makhmali pajama jaise waha tha he nahi aur golakar kataav liye wo hissa itna romanchit bhi kar sakta hai ye Jasleen ne bas abhi mehsoos kiya.
"Abhi chalta hu Jas, der ho rahi hai. Jald milte hain.", Arjun ne upar jhukte hue chehra saamne kiya toh Jasleen jaise nivedan kar rahi thi ki aaj wo uske pas he rahe. Ye mumkin kaha tha. Ek pal dono ke honth mile aur Arjun turant yaha se nikal chala. Aaj he Jasleen ne mehsoos kiya tha ki Arjun ab uske liye kya maayne rakhne laga hai. Wo uske bina sachmuch jee na sakegi aur Arjun ne khud pehle he usko mana kiya tha in kadmo ko rokne ke liye. Is duvidha me bhi Jasleen ki chahat ek samaan badh he rahi thi.
'I love you..', Itna kehti wo phir se un char taadiyo wale pankhe ko niharne lagi jaise shunya me bhi waha Arjun ka he chehra ho.
.

Is tehkhane me kahi jyada he andhkar tha aur lambai agyaat. Seedhiyon se 4 jodi kadam niche is thandak bhare tehkhane me utarne lage toh ek pal ke liye jaise surya he prakashit ho gaya us shaksh ke saamne jo kursi par adhnangi halat me bandha tha. Kis band pade godam ka ye tehkhana 100 gaj ke kareeb lambai aur uske aadhi chaudai liye ek bada hall tha. Roshni se aankhen kuch abhyast hui toh apni taraf badhte kadmo ki disha me dhyaan gaya.
"Itne bhi shatir nahi ho ki hamari najar me na aao. Toh kaise ho Balbir Lohan? Suna hai chhena-jhaptti chhod kar ab logo ke katal karwane ke thekedar bann gaye ho.", Pandit Rameshwar Sharma ke sath unka pauta Sanjiv Sharma bhi hamesha ki tarah uchit patloon kameej aur chamde ke joote pehne is shaksh ke kareeb aa khada hua. Pandit ji ki awaaj he bahut rehti thi kisi bhi purane mujrim ko yaad dilane ke liye ki ye vyakti abhi tak un file par kaam jaari rakhe hai jo inke retirement tak adhuri thi. Police department khud inse gujarish karta tha apni sevayen dene ki, sa-shart aur natija bhi saamne tha. Jald he Pandit ji Lohan ke saamne rakhi kursi par baith gaye. Col sahab bhi DIG Nirmal Singh ke sath yaha maujud the.
"Pandit ji.. main aapke pariwar se koso dur raha hu. Wo.. woh toh Shankar ne humla kiya toh bachaav karna he pada. Dekhiye mujhe doctor aur vakeel ki jarurat hai, remand court me pesh karke bhi le sakte hai.", Lohan tha jigar wala chahe wo is shaksh se darta tha aur pata bhi tha ke yaha koyi maar-pitai wala kaam uske sath nahi kiya jayega.
"Dekho Balbir, maine tumhe 27 saal pehle ek chhoti si chori ke apradh me baksh diya tha kyonki ek mauka sabko milna chahiye. Badle me tumne kya kiya? Kaise adaa kiya us ehsaan ka badla jis se hum tumhe ek behtar vyakti banana chahte the? Aaj tum keh rahe ho ke mere pariwar se koso dur ho, lekin sach tumhe atche se pata hai bete. Galti ek baar hoti hai ya 2 baar, uske baad wo niyat aur aadat. Yaha sirf mere he pariwar ki badaulat tumhe nahi laya gaya hai kyonki wo log toh tumhe kuch samajhte he nahi. Jaante ho na mera ishara?", Ab kahi Lohan ka kanth sookh gaya tha. Aaj bhi Rameshwar ji ne usko bete keh kar pukara tha jaise 27 saal pehle usko thaane se riha karte hue kaha tha. Majboot apradhi ka bhi sar niche jhukan bata raha tha ki Pandit ji ne kabhi uske sath bura nahi kiya tha aur wo unhe he chott pahuchane me laga raha.
"Sir, main baat karne ki ijajat chahta hu is se.", Sanjiv ne apne he dada ko 'sir' keh kar sambodhit kiya tha aur Lohan ne is awaaj ko sunn kar Sanjiv ki taraf dekha jo manjuri milne ke baad ab thik Lohan ke saamne khada tha.
"Tum bache ho. Mujhse agar koyi baat karega toh wo Pandit ji.", Lohan ke aisa kehne par Sanjiv ke chehre par alag he bhaav aa gaye. Ek kutil muskaan liye wo Lohan ke samne jhuk gaya chehra kareeb karte hue.
"Hum 2 bhai hai Lohan aur dono he har kaam aise karte hai ki dekhne wale ko bas ek he najar aata hai. Jaante ho ye bachkana sa lagne wala andaaj humne kaha se seekha hai? Video game se. Main saamne rehkar goliyan chalata hu toh sabko lagta hai ke main he hu jo hu lekin unko wo nahi dikhta jo har taraf najar rakhe mujhko cover deta. Tum jaante ho mere bhai ko aur wo mujhse bhi chhota hai lekin abhi se tumhara baap hai.", Sanjiv ka andaaj kabile-gor tha aur Lohan har lafz ko dhyaan se sunn ne ke baad hairat se dekhne laga.
"Tum.. Tumhara chhota bhai Arjun Sharma hai matlab tum bhi Shankar ke bete ho? Yani Pandit ji ke paute?"
"Yaadasht bahot atchi hai tumhari aur haan wo mera bhai jisne tumhari patloon dur se he geeli kar di thi. Aur tum apne ka kitna bada turram khan samajhte ho jo 4 ghante me he pakad me aa gaye? Maar toh main tumhe vahi deta lekin aisa hai ke kuch sawal hai mere pas tumhare liye.", Sanjiv ne pushti kar di thi ki uski asliyat kya hai aur aisa wo tabhi karta tha jab insaan kareebi ho ya fir aise vyakti ko jeene ka adhikar he na ho.
"Arjun aur tum, dono he maare jaoge agar mujhe kuch bhi hua toh. Uska naam main pehle he bata chuka jisko batana jaruri tha."
"Aur wo badnaseeb bhi poore pariwar ke sath kal raat mara gaya. Kismat aisi he hai ya mehnat se itni buri banai hai? Aadmi bhejte ho toh unka accident ho jata hai, hamla karte ho toh khud ghayal ho jaate ho, jis par bharosa karte ho wahi duniya se chala jata hai... aakhir tum khud panauti ho ya aaspas sabhi manhoos log he hai tumhare? Ab gor se suno 4 sawaal aur unke badle me 4 sahi jawaab. Galati par jaan se nahi maarunga lekin tum bheek maangoge ki maut mil jaye.", Ab Rameshwar ji bhi idhar se uth kar thoda alag chale aaye. Lohan samajh nahi pa raha tha ke uske sath ho kya raha hai. Sanjiv ne usko bebas kar he diya tha.
"Tumne Shabnam ka sath Mohar Singh ke kehne par toh nahi diya tha kyonki tumhari najar me Mohar ki koyi ijjat nahi thi. Kiske kehne par tumne apne log bheje the Shabnam dwara batai vardat anjaam dene ke liye? Galat naam aur main bataunga ki tumhara pariwar bhi hai.", Sanjiv ne sawaal ke sath jo jikar kiya us se Lohan toh hairat me tha he Rameshwar ji bhi achambhe me padd gaye. Lohan ayyash apradhi tha jo giroh sargana tha. Uske biwi-bache the he nahi Pandit ji ki najar me ya kisi bhi vyakti ki.
"Jhooth jhooth hai ye.."
"Galat jawaab toh ab tumhare 3 bacho me se beech wala gaya. Beta hai na tumhara beech wala bacha? Badi beti fir choti beti aur beech me tumhara pyara beta."
"Nahi nahi.. unhe beech me laane ki jarurat nahi hai main sab jawaab dunga lekin mere pariwar tak nahi jaoge."
"Tum hamare pariwar ko khatam karne ke liye gunde bhejo jabki dada ji ke kitne ehsaan rahe hai lekin main aisa na karu. Ek waja do Lohan, bas ek wajah do aisa na karne ki? Sawaal wahi hai aur ab 5 sawaal honge.", Sanjiv ke chehre par aaya gussa bahot kuch bata raha tha. Baat farz ke sath sath pariwar ki thi aur in dono me he Sanjiv ne jiwan samarpit kiya tha.
"Shabnam sirf chehra dikhane ke liye bulai gayi thi. Aadmi maine Karam Singh ke kehne par bheje the kyonki wo chahta tha ki Shabnam ko bhi maar diya jaye lekin uski hatya alag dikhni chahiye.", Lohan ko jara bhi bhanak na thi ki is samay awaaj ke sath sath video bhi banai jaa rahi thi is tehkikaat ki. Chere par paseena chhalak aaya tha beshak yaha halki thandak thi.
"17 saal pehle mandir ke saamne humla tumne karwaya tha na Shankar chacha ke bete par? Aadmi samajhdar ho toh naam apne aap bata doge.", Itni purani ghatna par sawaal wo bhi Sanjiv ke mooh se sunn kar Rameshwar ji bhi pareshan hone lage the. Lekin iska sach unhone bhi jaan-na tha.
"Haan. Mera aadmi wahi mara gaya tha us ghatna ko anjaam dete hue. Sarang sahab ne us waqt ki sabse badi supari di thi mujhe, 10 lakh ki. Lekin 3 prayaas me bhi main asafal raha aur kisi aur jurm me jail pahuch gaya. Uske baad kabhi Sarang sahab se baat nahi hui.", Lohan ab is tafteesh me poora sath de raha tha. Uske pariwar ki salamat he jaise sabkuch thi aur apna anjaam wo jaise samajh chuka tha. Sarang Kumar ka naam sunn kar Rameshwar ji ke kandhe par Col sahab ne hath rakhte hue unhe shant rehne ka ishara diya.
"Toh wo nurse kaun thi jisne Narinder Sharma ke navjaat bete ko jehar diya tha?", Sanjiv jaise jajbati he hone laga tha kyonki kuch sawaal usko bhi pareshan kar rahe the.
"Main bilkul nahi jaanta aur jaisa lagta hai toh isme bhi Sarang Sahab ka hath hoga aur wo peeche saboot nahi chhodte. Main nahi jaanta us nurse ke baare me, apne pariwar ki saugandh.", Lohan ke aise bebasi waale chehre ko dekh kar Sanjiv ne gehri saans li aur khud ko shaant karne ki cheshta karne laga.
"Arjun Singh ke baare me kya jaante ho?", Ab Rameshwar ji ko bhi laga ke sawaal disha bhatak chuke hai aur Sanjiv ko ye parat nahi kholni chahiye. Lekin der ho chuki thi kyonki Lohan naam le chuka tha.
"Sarang sahab jawaab de sakte hai iska. Maine toh bas waha se 15 laash he uthai thi afsar lekin wo insaan chahta toh kisi ko bhi zinda na chhodta. Arjun Singh urf Ajju. Bemisaal aadmi tha wo jisko ek aurat ne aansuo ki aad me dhokhe se mara. Ek nihathe ne dhai darjan laashe 10 minute me bicha di thi aur unme aur bhi kayi naam judd jaate Sarang sahab samet he agar wo aurat Neelima aur Shalini naam le kar uske saamne na gidgidati. Bas uske baad un bhediyon ne koyi daya na dikhai us ghutno par gire yodha par. Main toh ek driver tha bas lekin us aurat ko bhool nahi sakta. Hatyara toh main bhi hu lekin mard ka hamesha samman kiya hai maine. Agar Sarang sahab tak na pahuch sako toh main thodi aur madad kar deta hu.", Lohan jaise mureed tha Ajju ka beshak ek apradhi tha par usko jaise wo ghatnakram shat-pratishat yaad tha. Ab Rameshwar ji uske kareeb aa chuke the.
"Ye Neelima wahi hai na jo xxxx shehar ke tehsildar ki beti thi?"
"Ji Pandit ji aur Sarang sahab ki eklauti bhanji bhi. Mujhe 4 ghante me dhoond liya toh isko 3-4 din me toh khoj he lenge. Waise kar aap bhi kuch nahi sakte Sarang sahab ke saamne.", Lohan ke kataaksh ka saaf matlab tha ki Sarang Kumar apne aap me he ek bada naam tha. Lekin yaha aaj Rameshar ji ka dimag sarak chuka tha apne ladle bete ka hatyakaand sunn kar.
"Balbir, tum baaki naam nahi le rahe ho. Aur iska matlab hai tum Sanjiv ki baat bhool gaye.", Itna sard kathan aur aankhon se nikalti ushma se Lohan bhi seham sa gaya tha.
"Zorawar, Bhawani, Chandarbhan, Karam Singh ke sath Avdhesh Mishra bhi shamil tha us sabme. Pandit ji, wo sabhi toh ab zinda nahi rahe aur inka kehna hai ki Avdhesh ji bhi maare gaye kal raat. Isliye ye naam nahi liye maine aur us aurat ko Sarang sahab apne sath he car me le gaye the lekin phir maine usko bhi kahi nahi dekha."
"Isko maar do Sanjiv aur iska pariwar bhi shayad iski asliyat se parichit nahi hai. Wo batana matt bhoolna.", Rameshwar ji uthne lage toh Lohan bifarta hua gidgidane he lag pada.
"Sach kehta hu Pandit ji ki main itna he janta hu. Mujhe beshak maar dijiye lekin mera pariwar sukoon se apni he alag duniya me hai, usko matt beech me laaye. Haan.. Ajju Singh ne us aurat ko kaaki keh kar pukara tha. 2 aur bhi jawan chehre the jo dur the lekin dono he jaise nayi suhagane thi. Ek patri ke sath wali diwar ke pare aur dusri aam ke junglaat se sab dekh rahi thi. Main nahi jaanta ke wo kaun thi. Mere pariwar ko baksh dijiye main hath joddta hu.", Rameshwar ji itna sunn kar shaant ho gaye the. Wo do nav-byahta unhe bhi maloom tha ke kaun thi lekin 'kaaki' ne uljha he diya.
"Nirmal Singh ji, Balbir ko uchit dekhrekh me dhyaan se rakhwaiye. Iski chikitsa ka prabandh bhi behtar ho ye jarur sunishchit kijiyega. Bete, hum aaj bhi apradh ko khatam karne me yakeen karte hai, apradhi ko nahi. Lekin ab tumhe sahi karavas bhogna hoga aur hum tumhare pariwar ki bhi uchit dekhbhal karenge.", Rameshwar ji ne ek bar fir apni dariyadili dikha di thi lekin Sanjiv abhi ashaant tha aur apne dada ji ke aise kehne par agla sawaal wo puch nahi sakta tha Lohan se.
"Pandit ji, is rehamdili ke badle ek baat aur batana chahta hu aapko.", 2 policewale abhi Lohan ko lene he aaye the aur hath khulte he usko dono taraf se pakad kar wahi ruk gaye.
"Batao aisi kya baat hai jo tum hume itne vishwas ke sath batana chahte ho?"
"Sushila Singh ki supari uthi hai 2 din pehle aur kaam karwane wala koyi unke he gaanv ka hai. Ho sake toh dekh lena shayad wo jo koyi bhi hai uske pas sabhi sawalo ka jawaab ho.", Ab Sanjiv ne ek lambi saans bhari aur apne dada ki taraf dekha.
"Tumne nahi li uski supari? Waise wo beti hai hamari toh usko hum kuch hone nahi denge Balbir."
"Behan mana hai maine bhi Sushila ko pandit ji. Bhawani jaisa bhi tha lekin mera khaas tha aur Sushila uske sath meri bhi badi behan rahi hai. Main pata he karwa raha tha lekin Shankar ne ye sab kar diya."
"Shankar se bach gaya ye atcha hua Balbir. Wo sawaal nahi karta aur hum jaan nahi lete. Dhanyawad is sehyog ke liye. Chalo Sanjiv, isko thik hone ke baad he pesh karna hai.", Pandit ji pehle he apne mitro aur paute ke sath nikal chale aur Lohan kadi suraksha me surakshit jagah pahucha diya gaya tha.
"Tum kehte ho ki Arjun bhi yaha tak pahuch gaya hai jaha tak Balbir ne jaankari di?", Pandit ji shaam ke dhundalke me ab ek taraf Sanjiv se guftgu kar rahe the aur Col sahab DIG ke sath.
"Ye Sushila ji wali jaankari nahi thi aur munna jaankari rakhta hai Arjun Singh wale ghatna ki lekin asli apradhi tak wo bhi nahi pahucha hai. Hum dono he mil kar kaam kar rahe the aur uska kehna hai aap bhi is maamle me sahayta kar sakte hai. Ab shayad wo aage khojbin na kare gharwalo ki wajah se lekin wo pata lagana chahta hai ki Arjun Singh ji ke sath asliyat me kya hua tha."
"Bete, mujhe bas is baat ka he darr tha kahi Arjun Ajju ko samajhne na nikal pade. Ye naam humne bhi kabhi jubaan par na aane dia kyonki is naam se humne ek naya beta paa liya tha. Balbir ki he kathni dekho, wo ek dushman ki sirf tareef he kar raha tha. Mujhe toh itna sab bhi maloom na chal paya tha ki kaise darindo ne ek saaf-dil insaan ko gher kar mara. Shaadi tak is maamle me koyi khojbin na karna bete aur Arjun ke sath main tumhari maujdgi me he araam se vichar karunga.", Rameshwar ji badi safaai se apni aankhon me aayi nami ko chhupa gaye. Aaj unke jakhm fir se hare ho gaye the aur wo kuch waqt apni dharampatni ka sath chahte the.
"Chalo bhai Satish ab ghar chalna chahiye. Kal Nirmal ke sath waise bhi golf ka karyakram toh hai he.", Unki baat par dono he idhar chale aaye aur Nirmal Singh ji ne bhi hath milate hue abhaar jataya aur ye apne ghar ke liye nikal chale. Sanjiv ka bhi antarman vyathit tha jaise aaj wo is mamle me bas kuch he duri par atak gaya tha lekin sach ye bhi tha ki Lohan ne khud sari jaankari di thi unhe. Ab intjaar tha toh Arjun ka jiske saamne unke dada ji shayad is rehasyamayi purush ka purn ullekh kare.

Halka andhkar hone par Sangwan ke farmhouse se Bhuppi, Mehul, Param aur bade Sangwan ji ja chuke the. Shankar ko bhi Narinder ne Bhuppi ke he ghar bhej diya tha jis se wo ab araam kar sake. Tarantaal me Narinder ke sath Umed ki alag he daud jaari thi. Aadha ghanta uchit gati se tairne ke baad dono he kinare aa ruke toh bahar baithe Daleep ne he sulagti ciggratte Umed ki taraf badhai.
"Marne ka irada hai kya Daleep bhai? Saans chadhi hui hai aur aap ye pila do. Raat haseen hone wali hai kal ki tarah, Rajesh ko bula lijiye aap tab tak hum dono bhi tayaari kar lete hai.", Daleep ke chehre par chamak aa gayi thi naya mission sunn kar.
"Aaj kaha dhava bolna hai?"
"Aaj dhava nahi bolna Daleep bhai, sendh lagani hai.", Ye baat Narinder ne kahi thi Umed ki jagah. Dono ke he balisht sharir bhigne par kahi jyada he aakarshak lag rahe the. Narinder aur Umed ne hamesha he sharir ko mehatava diya tha har jaruri cheej ke sath.
"Toh usme Rajesh ko kyu bulana? Sendh lagane ke liye toh main akela he bahot hu bas jagah aur aadmi batao.", Daleep ke aatmvishwas ko dekh kar Umed aur Inder muskurane lage.
"Rajesh ka sath chalna bahot jaruri hai bhai. Ye samajh lo ke waha sendh lagane wali chaabi Rajesh he hai aur baaki kaam hum teeno ne karna hai.", Narinder ki niyantrit baat sunn kar Daleep ne aashwasan me sar hila diya.
"Badlo bhai tum log kapde pehno aur itni he der me wo bhi aa jayega.", Daleep kash lagata hua building ke andar chala gaya aur peeche ye dono ek dusre ko dekhne lage.
"Toh tumhe ummeed hai ki Karam Singh ke ghar se humko jaankari milegi?", Umed ne ye sawal karne ke sath he bahar rakhi baniyan se khud ko saaf karna shuru kar dia. Sachmuch ek datiyakar insaan he tha Umed Singh aur sadhe 6 feet kad sirf lambai maatra nahi, jism bhi utna he bejod tha. Kam toh Narinder bhi nahi tha bas dikhne me wo ek tagda khoobsurat abhineta lagta tha.
"Ummeed nahi main yakeen se kehta hu ke Karam Singh ke ghar humko bahot se sawalo ke jawaab milne wale hai Gajju. Wo akela reh raha tha aur uski maa Damyanti bhi ab udhar nahi rehti. Mujhe lagta hai ke wo bilkul sahi jagah hai chhanbin ki."
"Aur Rajesh ka is sabse kya lena dena?"
"uski car ka lena dena hai bhai. Wo wahi khadi karenge jaha Karme ka katal hua tha. Daleep najar rakhega aur hum teeno uske ghar ki chhanbin karenge.", Narinder ne wahi apna geela kachha utarte hue apni baniyan se us khaas hisse ko sukhane ka upkram kiya aur aise he nirvastra ghaas par chalta kapdo ke pas aa gaya. Umed bhi samaan awastha me tha aur jald he dono patloon pehan kar hatho se he baal sukhane lage. Aaj shayad ye ek sahi thikane par sendh lagane chale the aur ye bhi ho sakta tha ki unhe aisa kuch mile jis se kadmo ke niche ki jameen hil jaaye. Ab bas raat haseen hone ka intjaar tha Rajesh ke aane ke sath sath.

Market me kharidi karne aur ghoomne firne me he raat ke 8 baj gaye the in teeno ko. Arjun ne dinner ke liye agli market jaane ka kaha toh dono he behno ne saaf inkaar kar diya. Aaj pehli bar in dono ladkiyon ne poore 50 hajaar ka samaan kharid liya tha aur Arjun ka purse abhi tak jyo ka tyo tha. Ye paise usko maa se mile the aur sath he daadi ke diye 200000 shesh the.
"Ye halka fulka khaane ke chakkar me Aarti ne meri toh jaan he nikaal di. Main toh dinner nai karne wali."
"Mera bhi haal aisa he hai hai Alka. Peit me jara si bhi jagah nahi hai aur araam ki talab kuch jyada he ho rahi hai. Maa ka samaan savere he sametenge.", Dono ki aisi halat dekh Arjun hansta hua unhe liye ghar wapis aa gaya. Sachmuch aaj Alka aur Aarti ne dil khol kar samaan kharida tha, sirf apne liye he nahi balki Ritu, Preeti, Komal ke sath sabhi behno ke liye. Romela ji ka bhi samaan ek alag gatte ke bakse me band karke wahi pichli seat par rakha tha. Car jaise he ghar ke saamne ruki toh Afsana aur Zubeidaa bhi scootry se aa pahuchi.
"Ye Afsu ke itni raat me aane ki wajah didi?", Car se nikalte he Aarti ne Zubeida didi se sawaal kiya jo sab bhula kar Arjun se gale lag kar mili.
"Kyu? Pehle bhi toh tumhare sath rahi hai na raat me. Aur ye janaab toh Eid ho gaye hai. Shehar me bhi hai lekin sehan me nahi.", Zubeidaa ki baat par Arjun kya jawab deta jabki usko khud atcha lag raha tha unse gale milna. Koyi 30 second tak wo waise he gale lage rahe.
"Abba intjaar me honge baji.", Afsana toh is waqt bhi salwar kameej ke sath mooh par dupatta liye the.
"Oh meri Benajir Bhutto, jisko dekhne aayi hai kam se kam apna toh istakbaal karwa de. Dhyaan rakhna iska tum sabhi, aajkal jara kaayde me nahi hai madam.", Zubeida ne bina kisi ki parwah ke Arjun ka gaal choomne ke baad aisa he Aarti aur Alka ke sath kiya aur wapis chali gayi. Afsana larajti hui Aarti ke sath andar chali gayi.
"Tum ruka jara yaha.", Alka ne Arjun ka hath thaam liya. Wo jaise is pal me Ritu he bann gayi thi.
"Kya hua didi.?", Besakhta Arjun ke mooh se bhi didi he nikla aur Alka thoda gambhir ho gayi.
"Ishq bahot kuch badal deta hai mere bhai aur aaj main 2 ghante Afsana ke ghar rahi hu. Ye tumse koyi alag he ishq kar baithi hai dhyaan rakhna."
"Matlab"?
"Isme aur Ritu me sie kisi ek ko ko chun na pade toh?"
"Kya vahiyaat sawaal hai. Saari duniya ek taraf aur Ritu ek taraf. Zindagi ka aakhiri saans bhi lu toh wo bas Ritu ke aagosh me. Aisa fir kabhi matt kehna."
"Maan liya. Preeti aur isme se?"
"Wo jaan hai meri. Aap hamesha mere sath ho Ritu ki tarah lekin sanvara toh mujhe aur Preeti ko aapne bhi hai. Ye sawaal jayaj nahi hai. Waise bhi maine abhi tak Afsana se baat nahi kari hai."
"Baat karna Arjun. Ye Ishq kuch khaas dikh raha hai aur agar bandishe todd gaya toh qayamat na ho jaye. Zubeida ki baat alag hai, wo tumhe pyaar karti hai aur uski koyi chahat nahi hai tumse. Afsana toh jaise ek paheli he hai, suljhane me he nahi aa rahi.", Alka ne baat khatam karte hue thande ki bottle, milk badaam aur thoda khaane peene ka saman car se nikala aur ghar ke andar chali aayi. Arjun sath he tha is pal me. Aaj wo pehli baar Alka ko khul kar nahi bata paya tha us asadharan shann ke baare me jo usko Afsana ko dekh kar hua tha. Ye romanch kahi kuch aur he na karwa de.
"yar Alka main toh thodi der araam karte hue tv dekhne lagi hu.", Aarti ab dheele vastro me thi aur Afsana ne pehli baar naqaab hataya tha is tarah gairo ki maujdgi me. Alka bhi un sunehari aankhon se sammohit si ho gai.
"Wow. Tum haseen ho yar. Ghar par bhi tumne naqaab liya hua tha din me."
"Waha hum mehfooj nahi the us waqt. Chacha ke sath unke bhi dost aaye hue the dopehri ke khaane par. Hume atcha nahi lagta koyi hume cheej samjhe aur paymaaish kare.", Afsana ki muskurahat toh sachmuch kamaal thi. kandhari anaar se surkh honth, wo nakkashidar chehra aur jism dhaka hua.
"yar tum na mera test le rahi ho. Mujhe tumse pyaar ho gaya toh please gaali matt dena.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Aarti bhi hans di. Arjun unke peeche se kamre me ja chuka tha apne.
"Myassar karna gar chehra dekh kar ho toh iltija hai, khwahishe ahduri aise he raha karti hai. Aapne sirf hamara chehra dekha aur ishq farmane ki hidayat kar di. Hum kabile-gor nahi hai chehre se niche.", Chhui-mui si Afsana aaj behtar bol rahi thi aur ye asar kuch Alka ka bhi tha. Alka thi he aisi jo kahi na kahi sabse tej yuvti thi is pariwar me.
"Dekho darling, abhi toh araam karne ka dil hai mera. Raat 11-12 tak tumhe jarur utha dungi apni neend poori karne ke baad.", Alka ne itna kaha aur wo Aarti ke kamre ki taraf badh chali. Arjun track pajama aur tshirt pehne ek bada cartoon samaan ka bhare darwaje se bahar nikal gaya. Aarti dekhti rahi aur waisi he najar Afsana ki thi. Arjun apni chachi ka bataya samaan car ki lambi dikki me sahi tarah se rakhne laga. Usne yahi thik samjha tha samay bachane ke hisab se.
"Yar agar tujhe bura na lage toh Arjun ke liye doodh garam kar dena. Main bas naha lu kyonki halki thakavat ho rahi hai phir araam se kamre me he baatein karenge.", Ab Aarti ke bhi hath khade ho gaye the. Savere 5 baje jaagne ke baad usne bhi araaam kaha kiya tha.
"Inhe doodh ki jarurat hogi toh hum dekh lenge. Waise Alka didi agar aapke bister par sone gayi hai toh hum kaha neend farmaye?"
"Agar dikkat na ho toh wahi aa jana mere kamre me. Priyanka didi ka bhi kamra khaali hai in case tumhe dikkat ho toh hum dono didi wale kamre me so jayenge.", Aarti bata he rahi thi aur Arjun wapis kamre ki aur chal diya. Wo jaise thaan chuka tha ki abhi sab samaan dikki me bhar dega.
"Let the kite go it's own way honey. Mushayre ke bahar toh humne sabhi shayar sharabi dekhe hai. Aap araam farmaye, hum Priyanka baaji ke kamre me he araam farma lenge.", Ab toh Aarti ka bhi maatha thanak gaya tha. Ye Arjun ka asar tha toh bhugatana usko he tha. Lekin wo kya he kehti is pyaari gudiya ko.
"Jaha dil kare waha mehfil laga lenge sanam tumhare sath.", Aarti ne bas itna he kaha aur khilkhilati hui Priyanka didi ke kamre wale bathroom me chali gayi. Alka bhi araam karne se pehle nahane he lagi thi aur Arjun apni chachi ka samaan gatte ke bakse me sahi se jama raha tha. Wo savere ke bharose kuch chhodne wala nahi tha aur waise bhi kal usko Jagtar bhai se dhero baatein karni thi.
"Aap jab kahiyega hum doodh garam kar denge.", Arjun inhi najro se bachne ke liye toh kaam me masroof tha lekin waah ri kismat. Pehle Afsana ke ghar se dur raha, phir usko bahar bhi niharne se bachta raha aur ghar me aate he wo samaan ke sath lag gaya. Afsana khud he chal uski taraf toh aane se rahi, yahi socha tha aur ye soch Afsana ne he badal di. Wo sunehari aankhein aur tambai baal uski najro ke saamne the. Jubaan jaise lakwa maar gayi aur aankhen sthirr. Afsana ki bhi dhadkan badhne lagi toh wo bina jawaab sune Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi. Darwaja band karke wo bister par baithi bas Arjun ke chehre ko yaad kar rahi thi. Har bar kyo dono he khamosh ho jaate hai ek dusre ko dekhne par?
"Oh madam ji, kaha khoyi ho? Waise sach kahu toh tumhe aaj pehli bar he din me dekha tha aur koyi itna khoobsurat bhi ho sakta hai iska andaja bilkul nahi tha.", Alka bathroom se bahar aayi toh bas ek ghutno tak ki dheeli nikkar aur jaangho tak lambai wali tshirt pehne thi. Andruni vastro ka abhaav nukile nipple saaf bata rahe the. Afsana ne bhi Alka ko dhyaan se dekha toh uski lambai, kamar se niche tak aate baal, badaami chehra aur sharir ke itne jabardast kataav se wo bhi prabhavit hue bina na reh saki. Uski badi behan bhi ek behtareen yuvti thi jiske sondarya ki paribhasha hajaro aankhen karti rahi lekin Alka bhi khaas thi.
"Aap hamari tareef kar he hai? Jo khud aafreen ho unke saamne toh hum kuch bhi nahi.", Jis tarah Afsana ke honth najakat se hilte the, Alka ko bada atcha lagta tha dekhna. Chehre par khushi aa gayi thi apne aap he.
"Aisi baat nahi hai Afsana. Jaisa suna thi ki tum naqaab ya burka pehne rehti ho hamesha toh mere dimaag me kuch aur he tasvir bann gayi thi. Aarti ne thoda bahot he bataya tha tumhare baare me aur kuch mujhe Priyanka didi ne bataya. Aaj tumhe saamne dekha toh wo sabhi khayaal gayab he ho gaye. Tum kisi Arab desh ki rajkumari si ho, bilkul gudiya si.", Alka goad me takiya liye bister par baith gayi. Ab Afsana ke chehre par halki laali aa chuki thi. Ye thode bahot badlaav usme kuch samay se aaye the aur Zubeidaa baaji ne he usko nikhara tha.
"Wo hum aaj bhi pehante hai baaji, aapne dopehari me dekha he tha. Bas jaha jaruri ho waha. Waise ammijaan hamari paidaish par Marrakesh-Safi thi, ye Morocco ka ek shehar hai aur hamare chashm (eyes) wahi ki saugaat hai.", Alka ne is jaankari par jaise he Afsana ka wo safed mom sa hath thama toh ek pal me he uske chehre par thodi bechaini si aa gayi.
"Yar ek toh main baaji-didi nahi hu, dost hu jaise Aarti hai. Aur tum khaas ho jo pehli najar me he pata lag jata hai. Itna darti kyu ho waise? Main ladki hu aur mere hath pakadne par tumhe ghabrahat nahi honi chahiye.", Alka ne ab apne dusra hath bhi Afsana ki hatheli ke upar rakh diya.
"Wo Zubeidaa baaji kehti hai ke is daur me kisi ka eitbaar nahi."
"Hahaha.. arre yar sachmuch tum masoom ho. Tumhari didi se aaj maine ek ghante se jyada baatein ki hai waha tumhare ghar. Unhe sabse jyada maja aata hai tumhe satane me aur tum unki kahi har baat ko sach maan leti ho. Wo bata rahi thi ki tum kitni majhab ki pakki ho aur college me hone ke bawjood abhi tak jyada duniya ki khabar nahi rakhti.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Afsana jhemp gayi lekin halki narajgi bhi thi mann me apni badi behan ke liye.
"Aur unhone aapse kya kaha hamare baare me?"
"Bata rahi thi ki tum kitni pyaari ladki ho. Lekin aaj ke jamane me tumhara yahi life-style pareshani paida kar sakta hai. Unhe iski tension rehti hai aur wo tumhe dhire dhire badalne ki koshish bhi kar rahi hai. Waise tum galat nahi ho Afsana bas ye life ghar ki char diwari se thodi bahar bhi hai. Suna hai pehle toh tum ghar se akeli bahar bhi nahi nikli yaha tak aane ke liye?", Ab Afsana ko jaise khud par he thodi sharmindgi hone lagi. Alka ka hath sehlana usko protsahit karne laga bolne ke liye.
"Hum khaufjada the aur abhi bhi hum akele bahar nahi nikalte. Ghar se bahar ek Aarti he hai jinke sath hamara kuch wajood hai."
"Darr? Agar chaho toh mujhse baat kar sakti ho aur baatein apne aap tak he rakhna jyada dukh deti hai. Darr insaan ko kamjor he banata hai dost. Haadse sabke sath hote hai, kisi ke sath chhote kisi ke sath bade lekin kya hum unhe yaad rakh kar ghutan me jinda rahe? Ye toh aur bhi dukhdayi hoga. Agar phir bhi tumhe lagta hai main galat keh rahi hu toh maaf kar dena. Mujhe shayad sahi andaja nahi hai ke tumne kya jhela hai."
"Humne kuch bhi nahi jhela hai. Bas kuch bure log ladkiyon ki asmat-aabru par he nigaah rakhte hai. Kya yahi insaaniyat hai bahar duniya me?", Afsana ke shabdo se he pata chalta tha ki wo kitni saral ladki hai aur uska darr har aadmi ke liye tha jo galat najar rakhta ho.
"Tum galat nahi keh rahi ho Afsana lekin har insaan bura nahi hota. Kuch chahat se dekhte hai aur kayi galat iraado se lekin kisi ki koyi majaal nahi jabtak ladki majboot rahe. Tumhe bas apni life aur khushiyan dekhni chahiye na ki aise log jo maayne nahi rakhte. Main bhi college jaati hu aur hum 7 behne hai waha ghar par. Dekhne wale dekhenge aur humko unse koyi matlab nahi. Waise tumne sirf aisa he dekha hai ya kuch bura bhi?", Ye Alka thi jo baal ki khaal nikal leti thi aur saamne wale ko pata bhi nahi chalta tha.
"Zubeidaa baaji ko ek baar kisi ne sataya tha. Hum school me the us waqt aur baaji college ke pehle saal me. Wo ladke galat iraade rakhte the aur baaji ne kabhi unhe najar bhi nahi kiya jaisa aap kehti hai. Phir bhi unhone unki asmat kharaab karni chahi, Narinder chacha ji na hote toh baaji ke sath kuch bhi ho sakta tha. Ab bataye ki agar baat is hadd tak chali jaaye toh kya hoga? Har baar toh koyi nek banda hifajat ke liye maujood nahi ho sakta."
"Toh humko he hifajat karni chahiye apni. Waise tumhare liye toh main bhi ek pal behak sakti hu.", Alka ne jo jaankari leni thi wo lene ke baad ab mahol badalne ki ye masti bhari baat keh di. Ek pal ke liye Afsana ka chehra he safed ho gaya.
"Tauba. Baaji sahi kehti hai ke jamane ke sath bahot kuch badal raha hai. Aap aise vichar rakhti hai hamare baare me?"
"Hahaha.. Kisi din tumhe pyaar ho gaya na sahi ladke se toh pakka tum uski baahon me he saans todd dogi. Yar ladki ho kar ek ladki se ghabra rahi ho tum. Hahaha.. majaak kar rahi hu aur dost masti bhi nahi karte kya aapas me?", Ab Afsana ke chehre par thodi sharam aur wahi gulabi rangat aa chuki thi.
"Hum ishq me yakeen nahi karte aur aisi baatein atchi nahi lagti.", Abhi wo aage kuch kehti us se pehle he darwaje par dastak hui. Alka khadi hone lagi toh Afsana ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Aapke bhai bhi ho sakte hai aur jaha tak hume lag raha hai aapne andruni kapde nahi pehne hai seene par. Ye chaadar le lijiye, hum kholte hai darwaja.", Alka ki hansi chhoot gayi itna sunn kar. Phir khud ko shaant karti hui wo Afsana ki baat samajh gayi. Sahi keh rahi thi kyonki Arjun ke sath Alka ke khaas rishtey ka usko pata bhi nahi hona chahiye.
"Shehjadi sahiba, doodh ubal kar bahar nikal gaya. Atchi baat hai ki samay rehte maine dekh liya nahi toh ho gaya tha aaj kaam.", Ye Aarti thi aur thik Alka jaise kapdo me bas abhi seene par bra pehni hui thi tshirt ke andar.
"Oh maaf karna, hum baaton me masroof ho gaye the Alka baaji ke sath. Aapne doodh de diya apne bhai ko?"
"Ubalta hua he de du kya? Waise darwaja band kyu tha yaha?", Aarti ko ab wo kaise batati ki Arjun ne bechain kar diya tha aur khud ko shaant karne wo is kamre me chali aayi thi.
"Aap baithiye idhar, hum bhi kapde badal kar aa jaate hai Priyanka baaji ke kamre se.", Aarti andar jaane ki jagah hansti hui Arjun ki taraf chal di aur Afsana ne Priyanka didi ke kamre ke andar jaate he darwaja band kar liya.
"Haan toh abhi tak kaam khatam nahi hua tumhara?", Arjun ab ye paanchva baksa bhar raha tha. Aarti ke andar aate he darwaja lagane par uska dhyaan taja nahai hui apni behan par gaya toh ek kashish se wo dekhta he raha.
"Iraade nek nahi hai lekin aaj kismat me shayad pyaar karna bhi nahi likha.", Arjun wapis kapdo ko attachi me aur kitabo ko bakse me bharne laga. Aarti dabe paanv uski taraf aati peeche se lipat gayi. Naram ubharo ka wo sparsh aur aise unka lipatna bata raha tha ki chahat Aarti ki bhi wahi hai.
"Raat ko Alka ke pas chale jana."
"Main yahi sone wala Aarti aur jab bhi aane ka dil ho toh yahi aa jana, savdhani se.", Arjun ne palat kar Aarti ko apni baahon me samet liya. Geele hontho par ek minute tak Arjun ke hontho ne bharpoor pyar jataya. Phir araam se dono he dur ho gaye.
"Mere aur didi ke kapde bhi maine bag me rakh liye hai. Jagah hogi itni car me?"
"Car ki dikki abhi bhi aadhi khali hai aur kuch samaan main andar bhi rakh lunga. 10 bajne wale hai toh ab aapko araam karna chahiye.", Arjun bhi jaanta tha ki Aarti aaj raat uske sath rehna chahti thi. Lekin Afsana ke aane ka bhi Arjun ko bura nahi laga tha. Agle 10 minute me wo dono bag aur bakse liye bahar chal diya. Hall paar karte he saamna Bholi begam se hua.
"Aaj raat main yahi sone wali hu. Aarti kaha hai?", Arjun chaah kar bhi sar pe hath na rakh saka. Bas iski he kami thi.
"Andar apne kamre me, tumhara he intjaar kar rahi hai wo.", Gurdeep ke maje lete hue Arjun ne usko andar jaane ko kaha aur hansta hu car ki taraf chal diya. Ye sab samaan aa chuka tha aur ab bas Aarti-Priyanka ke bag laa kar rakhne the. Dikki band karke wo wapis andar chala aaya toh Aarti ke kamre se aati awaajon ne bata diya tha ki Radio chalu ho chuka hai. Priyanka didi ke kamre ka band darwaja dhakelte hue wo andar aaya toh zero ki maddim roshni thi abhi.
'Ye kari hai packing inhone. Chain tak band nahi ki.', Arjun bedhyaani me bas in upar tak bhare bag ko band karne me laga tha aur bathroom ka darwaja khulne ki awaaj jaise sunaai he na padi. Afsana bhi wo bada toliya lapete apni he dhunn me bed tak chali aayi jaha uski poori aasteen ki tshirt aur pajama rakha tha, raat ko pehan ne ke liye. Ab toliya utaar kar bister par rakha toh saansein atak gayi. Bed ke dusri taraf bag me kapde dabata Arjun bhi sunn pad chuka tha neeli roshni me is jaanleva manjar ko dekhte he. Ujle rang ki poore cup wali naram bra aur waisi he rangat ki panty me uske saamne Afsana ka hahakari youvan tha. Afsana hosh me aati us se pehle he Arjun badi teji se kamre bahar nikal gaya. Spring wala darwaja wapis band ho gaya tha.
Afsana ki aankhon me paani aa chuka tha hosh me aate he. Jaise taise kapde pehan kar wo kuch der wahi bister par baithi rahi. Antarman maan he nahi raha tha ke aisa bhi kuch hua hai. Arjun ki aankhein us pal me bhi Afsana ka chehra he dekh rahi thi. Ye yaad aate he Afsana ko halka araam hua lekin dil yahi keh raha tha ke Arjun kya soch raha hoga uski is besharmi par aur ab wo kaise uska saamna karegi. Is haalat me toh aajtak Aarti ne bhi kabhi usko nahi dekha tha. Bujhe mann se wo ek baar aur apna chehra saaf karke Alka-Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi.
Gurdeep toh aadat anusaar patar patar kari ja rahi thi aur Alka ko bhi uski baatein sunn ne me maja aa raha tha. Uski bholi baatein, punjabi kisse aur chehre ke manmohak bhaav kisko pasand na aate. Gurdeep bebaki se Alka ki bagal me aa leti toh Aarti bhi khadi ho gayi.
"11 baj chuke hai madam, ab sona chahiye. Savere 6 baje tak uth gaye toh bhi atcha hai.", Yaha bhi Afsana khamosh he thi aur itne shor me kisi ka bhi dhyaan nahi gaya tha us par.
"Haan yar lekin main toh Alka ke pas soungi. Tu apni gulabo ke sath so, waise bhi wo har waqt sharmati rehti hai.", Gurdeep ki baat par Aarti bhi hansti hui dono ko be bol kar dusre kamre me chali aayi Afsana ke sath.
"Tum leit jao, main jara bahar darwaja dekh aati hu.", Aarti ke kehne par Afsana bister ke dusri taraf khamoshi se karwat ke bal leti gayi. Aankhen khuli thi aur mann vichlit. Ye tabtak shaant nahi hone wala tha jabtak wo Arjun se baat nahi kar leti.Afsana ke liye uski ijjat he jaise zindagi thi aur usko katai ye kabool na tha ke Arjun ke mann me uski koyi galat chhavi bane. Udhar Aarti ne bahar wale darwaje par andar se tala laga paya toh wo hall ke darwaje ko bhi chitakni lagati hui apne kamre me aa gayi. Ghar ki jyadatar roshni ab band ho chuki thi, bas zero ke bulb jagmag the.
"So gayi Afsa? Sorry yar, thakaan ki wajah se mujhe bhi neend aa rahi hai aur tere sath time nahi bita saki.", Cooler ki jyada awaaj na thi jis se Afsana ko sunai na diya ho lekin wo khamosh he rahi aur Aarti ne bhi patli chaadar apne upar audh li. 10 minute se pehle he wo gehri neend me ja chuki thi. Yahi haal barabar wale kamre ka tha jaha Alka Gurdeep ke sath bade araam se so rahi thi. Gaanv se shehar ka lamba safar, fir yaha tak ka safar aur shaam ko atchi bhaag-daud ke baad ab jara bhi himmat na bachi thi in dono me. Sadhe 11 ka waqt ho chala toh Afsana bade ehtiyaat se uth khadi hui. Rasoi me abhi tak doodh ka patila chulhe par tha aur jayaj garam bhi. Ek gilas nivaye doodh ka liye wo dhadakte dil aur kaampte kadmo se Arjun ke kamre tak chali aayi. Neend Arjun ki aankhon se bhi koso dur thi aur is sannatte me lamp ki roshni tale wo jaane kya padhne me vyast tha.
"Aapko doodh dena bhool gaye the.", Itna bhi jaane wo kitni himmat se keh paayi aur Arjun ne ek pal ke liye Afsana ko dekha aur hatho se gilas le kar wahi table par rakhte hue kaha.
"Sorry Afsana, mujhe bilkul bhi nahi pata tha ki udhar aap hongi. Main aapke liye koyi galat khayal nahi rakhta aur wo sab anjaane me ho gaya.", Afsana itna sunn kar jaise baraf si thandi padd gai. Pichle dedh ghante se wo bas yahi soch rahi thi ki usne ek bahot badi galti kar di hai jiska anjaam jaane kya hoga lekin yaha saamne se Arjun maafi maang raha tha. Afsana ko yu khamosh dekh Arjun ne pehli bar usko hath lagaya. Nivaye doodh ko pakadne se wo mom se mulayam hath bhi halke garam the.
"Dekhiye main jaanta hu ke aapko kitna bura lag raha hoga lekin sachmuch jo hua wo anjaane me hua. Aapko dukhi karne ka paap main bhool kar bhi nahi kar sakta lekin agar phir bhi aapko lagta hai wo sab maine jaanboojh kar kiya hai toh saja de sakti hai. Aainda main apna chehra bhi saamne nahi launga.", Arjun ne itna kehte hue hath chhoda toh Afsana ko laga jaise uski rooh he jism se juda ho gayi. Kis sammohan me thi wo ye khabar na thi lekin aaj wo Arjun se bhaagna nahi chahti thi.
"Aapki najro me humne kabhi galat iraade nahi dekhe Arjun. Hum yaha aapse maafi maangne aaye the jo hua uske liye. Hum behaya nahi hai jo andruni kapdo me jism-numaish kare. Ilm hota ki aap waha hai toh hum bahar he na nikalte.", Dheemi awaaj me apna dard bayaan karti Afsana ki sunehari aankhon se bhi dard chhalakne laga. Uski masoomiyat aur saafdili dekh Arjun ko ab jyada he bura lag raha tha. Aankhon me wo aansu jab dil ko dard dene lage toh Arjun ne khade ho kar Afsana ko seene se laga liya. Ye harkat wo kabhi nahi kar sakta tha aur Afsana bhi kabhi aisa kadam nahi leti. Lekin ye pal jaise apvaad tha dono ke liye. Afsana ke chehre ko apne seene se lagaaye wo bade pyar se uska sar thaame khada raha.
"Aap galat nahi ho sakti Afsana aur sach kahu toh main kabhi aapko thes nahi pahuchana chahta. Ye kismat kya khel khel rahi hai mujhe bilkul nahi pata. Main dur rehna chahta hu aapse kyonki jaanta hu aap ek behad shaleen aur saaf-dil masoom yuvti hai. Jo hua hai usko main thik toh nahi kar sakta lekin aapke aansu mujhe gunehgar bata rahe hai.", Arjun ke wo pakad bhi jaise jaanti thi ki aagosh me ek khaas yuvti hai. Bahupash ke jagah ye pakad sirf pyaar bhari thi. Afsana ke hath bhi Arjun ki peeth par the aur wo ab kuch sukoon me thi.
"Aap gunehgar ho bhi nahi sakte Arjun aur hume aapke didar se pareshani nahi hai. Bas darr hai ke aap hamare baare me galat khayaal na bana baithe.", Afsana ke dono hath ab Arjun ki bagal me the aur chehra seene par ek taraf rakhe wo niche dekh rahi thi. Arjun bhi ek sukoon se bhar chuka tha Afsana ko apne seene se lagaye. Jab aage koyi aur baat na hui toh Afsana ko dono ki haalat ka bhaan hua. Wo aaj pehli baar kisi gair ke gale lagi thi, wo bhi ek purush ke. Sharir halka kasamasaya toh Arjun ne he kadam peeche hata liye.
"Sorry. Aapki aankhon me aansu dekh kar pata nahi chala."
"Shukriya. Aur hume bura nahi laga.", Afsana ne najre jhukaye ye chhota sa jawaab diya aur jaane ke liye abhi mudi he thi ki Arjun ki baat sunn kar halchal mach gayi.
"Waise aap saafdil hone ke sath he hadd se jyada khoobsurat hai. Naqaab me raha kijiye, dekhne wale ki nazar bhi aisi khoobsurti ko maila kar sakti hai.", Arjun abhi bhi khada he tha aur Afsana ke palatne par phir se wo unhi aankhon ko dekhne laga jo itni der se jhuki hui thi.
"Aapke dekhne se hum maile nahi honge aur ab hume aapke saamne naqaab rakhne ki jarurat bhi nahi lagti. Neend farmaye, hum bhi jaate hai.", Is baar jaane se pehle Afsana ne jis taraf hath se salaam karte hue Arjun ko dekha tha wo gehra asar kar gaya. Afsana khud he uska darwaja band karti hui chali gai.
'Ab nahi aata kabhi punjab. Jis se bachna tha wahi raat ko saamne aa gai. Bhagwaan isko mat pyaar hone dena mujh jaise insaan se.', Arjun khud se itna bolta hua takiya dabaye bister par leit gaya. Ab bechaini nahi thi aur aankhen jald he band ho gayi. Raat ke kisi pehar wo mansal badan Arjun se lipta toh dheemi raftar se ek lamba sansarg shuru ho gaya is band kamre me.

"Ye sandook khol yar Gajju.", Gaanv ke is band pade ghar me bahar jitni khamoshi thi us se jyada chehal pehal is band kamre me thi. Torch ki roshni me Umed, Daleep ke sath Narinder har cheej ko bade dhyaan se jaanch raha tha. Yaha unhe kuch jaankari toh mili thi lekin wo utni bhi khaas nahi thi. Kone me rakha wo lohe ka bada sandook dekhna baaki tha. Umed ne pechkas se bina tala khole he sandook ka kabja nikal diya.
"Sala ye Karam Singh akela he rehta tha kya? Na biwi na bache aur baaki dono kamre toh aise khaali the jaise unki jarurat he na padi ho kabi. Chal tu dekh andar kya hai, main roshni deta hu.", Sandook ke dhakkan ko pakde Umed torch se roshni dikhane laga aur Narinder ne wo rajaai nikal kar ek taraf rakh di. Yaha ab bahot kuch tha us rajaai ko hatane ke baad. 2 purani album, kuch khatt, shwet-shyaam tasvire aur kuch asla jo purana tha.
"Bandook aur khanjar par hath mat lagana. Dekh hathhi par plastic bandha hua hai.", Umed ne jaise he chetaya toh Narinder ne rumaal se dono he cheej pakad kar charpai par rakh di. Ek lakdi ka baksa bhi tha jispar chhota sa tala laga tha. Aise bakse jyadar suhagane ya yuvtiya purane samay me saaj-sajja ka samaan rakhne ke liye prayog karti thi.
"Ye bahot he purana baksa hai be Gajju. Aisa ek tere bhi ghar tha aur meri maa ke pas bhi. Tala laga hai toh matlab ye kaam ki cheej hai."
"Haan toh nikal le na. Chal kar araam se dekhenge kaunsi sone ki bindi aur chaandi ki libstick hai isme. Wo tabeej bhi utha jo is kagaj ke niche hai."
"Ye kagaj nahi photo hai aur ye toh dhibri (mori) wala sikka hai dhaage me bandha.", Inder ne wo dono cheej uthane ke baad tabeej jeb me aur tasvir charpayi par rakh di. Itne me he Daleep ki awaaj par dhyaan gaya.
"Idhar dekho bhai kya mila. Ye is photo ke peeche tha aur bhi kaagaj hai is folder me.", Diwar par tangi us haar chadhi purani tasvir ke peeche se Daleep ko ek bada packet aur ye tasvir mili thi jisme 8 jawaan aadmi the. Ek ke chehre par gol ghera banaya gaya tha. Narinder sab kaam chhod kar us tasvir ko dekhne laga.
"Behanchod ye kya bawaal hai be Gajju? Dekhiyo jara ye papa aur Raghubir chacha he hai na?", Safed patloon aur kaali kameej he dikh rahi thi un dono ke sharir par, tasvir ke shwet-shyaam hone ki wajah se. Lekin un chehro ko pehchan pana mushkil tha kyonki sabhi 15 se 23-24 saal ke beech ke the.
"Haan be ye toh papa he hai aur ye Sombir tauji hai. Baaki kisi ko toh main nahi pehchanta. Lekin is ladke ke upar gola kyu mara hai jiske kandhe par chacha ka hath hai?"
"Photo daal bhai Daleep wapis packet me. Ye bahot kaam ki cheej hai aur iska yaha hona apne aap me hairani wali baat hai. 50 saal purani photo wo bhi is ghar me."
"Ye sab main jhole me daalta hu, Daleep bhai sandook ka kabja wapis daba do aur nikate hai yaha se.", Umed ke kehne ke sath he agle 5 minute me poora kamra pehle ki tarah vyavasthit ho chuka tha. 2 thaile samaan liye wo teeno he badi kushalta se is purane ghar se bahar nikal gaye. Dur kahi kutto ke rone ki awaaj ke siwa bas inke kadmo ki halki aahat he the is gehri raat me. Aage sunsaan kheto ke beech pagdandi se raste par chalte hue wo 10 minute baad sadak par pahuch gaye.
"Rajesh, kya raha?"
"Kya raha? Ye dekho sala meri car pe driver side ki taraf se ek aadmi goli maar kar gayab ho gaya aur tumhe awaaj tak sunai na di. Chakkar kya hai ye sab.? Pehle toh mujhe bhi samajh nahi aaya tha ke tum wo dummy sath kyu laaye lekin dekho uska bheja udaa diya kambakhto ne aur mujhe mauka bhi nahi mila unhe pakadne ka.", Rajesh ki halat dekh Narinder hans raha tha.
"Saale tum ho sahi nautanki. Kaha hai wo aadmi?", Ab is sawaal par Rajesh muskura diya.
"Dikki me hai harami. Batao goli chalane aaya tha toh chala ke bhaag jaye. Lekin nahi pehle darwaja khatkhatayenge, fir baat bhi karni hai. Kanpati pe ek hath pada toh moot nikal gaya lulli se uski. Baandh ke daal liya dikki me saale ko aur uski fatfati udhar fenk di jhaadiyon me. Chalo ab nikalte hai."
"Goli sachmuch chali thi kya?", Daleep ne chinta se kaha.
"Pagla gaye ho kya Daleep bhai. Ye car meri dilruba hai aur agar wo goli chalata toh maine gaand kaat deta uski. Ab is dummi ko bhi fenkna padega.", Car ki agli seat par plastic ka aadamkad murat bithaya hua tha inhone, kameej pehna kar.
"Abe fenkna matt, apne Daleep bhai ke kaam aayega. Dekh kaise motte chuche hai iske aur laane wale bhi Rajesh tum kamaal hai. Aadmi ka statue mangwaya lekin nahi londiya he pasand hai. Daleep bhai isme chhed kar lena, bhabhi toh ab naraaj hai lekin ye hamesha sath rahegi bina kuch kahe.", Narinder ne wo moorat pichli seat par beech me rakhi toh Daleep sachmuch uske seene par hath firane laga.
"Yaha pe thoda rubber lagwa do bhai toh main kaam chala lunga..", Daleep ki is baat par baaki teeno bhi thahaka laga gaye.
"Hahaha.. mast aadmi ho yar aap. Waise idea bura bhi nahi hai lekin isko aise he rakho main jab America jaunga toh aapke liye chudai wali gudiya leta aaunga. Uske gubbare daba daba kar pelna saali ko.", Rajesh ne car chalu karte hue kaha aur ye hanste hue baaton ke sath jaankari bhi sanjha karne lage. Andhere me gaadi wapis chal padi.
"Gaushala he chalte hai yar.", Narinder ki baat sunn kar Daleep ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Waha is waqt araam nahi kar sakte Inder aur neend liye bina mujhe chain nahi aata. Hotel he sahi rahega."
"Haan, hotel he chalte hai Daleep bhai. Roshni bhi hogi aur sakoon se sara kaam bhi kar lenge.", Rajesh ne bhi apna dimaag dikha diya jiski jarurat nahi thi.
"Oh kaath ke ullu, jo murga dikki main hai usko bhi hotel me rakhega kya?",Ye Umed na kaha toh ab kisi ne koyi sawaal na kiya. Car poori raftaar se gaushala ki aur badhne lagi. Aaj ek bahot badi sendh lagai thi in logo ne aur uske parniaam kya hone waale hai ye toh din nikalne par he pata chalna tha.

Gurdeep ki motti tarbooj si gaand Arjun se buri tarah chipki thi aur peeche se uska ek sudol stann dabate hue Arjun bhi kahi gehre lekin dheeme dhakko se uski tight choot ko apne lund ka abhyast kar raha tha. Paune 4 baje Gurdeep chupke se idhar chali aayi thi aur pichle aadhe ghante me khamosi se chalti ye chudaai ab apne charam par aane wali thi. 3 baar apna kaamras nikalne ke bawjood Gurdeep uska bharpoor sath de rahi thi. Lund se pach-pach ki ye halki awaaj dono ka he maja bakhaan karti rahi.
"ummm.. bas karo aahhh.. din me kiya tha tab bathroom jaane me bhi taklif ho rahi thi.. ufff.. ab toh lagta hai wo bhi mushkil hone wala hai.", Arjun uske maadak awaajo se aur tej dhakke lagane laga.
"Dhyaan rakhna tha na.. hhhhuuuuhh.. ab hone he wala hai.. bas..aahh.. sachmuch tumhara josh ummeed se jyada hai.."
"Ishhh... ho gayi main..aahh.. marr jaungi agar itni baar ye royegi toh.. aahhh... "
"Huhhhhh... lo..", Arjun ne lund choot se nikal kar gaand ke chhed par daba dia. Wo kora chhed naam-maatra he khula tha lekin poora lava usme bharne ke baad he Arjun alag hua.
"Chhhiii.. kar di na manmani.. aahh.. waha nahi lungi tumhara.. aahhh maa..", Dhimi awaaj karti wo bathroom chali gayi aur Arjun uske peeche.
"Ab aur nahi karna.", Nirvastra Gurdeep ke chehre par aseem khushi thi aur uski naa bhi jaisi saaf jhooth. Kharbuje se gol aur motti chuchiya laal padd chuki thi wahi gudadwaar se nikal kar moti sudol jaangho par behta Arjun ka veerya usko aur kaamuk dikha raha tha.
"Main nahane aaya hu darling kyonki sava 4 baj chuke hai. Saaf karo khud ko aur jaldi se wahi chali jao jaha se aayi thi.", Gurdeep ne samay ko gambhirta se liya aur apne sharir par paani udelti saaf karne lagi. Baal bheegne nahi diye aur poore 5 minute me he wo toliya lapete kamre me chali gayi. Arjun nityakriya se farig hone ke baad naha kar bahar aaya toh bister ab saaf tha. Toliya utha kar sharir sukhate hue wo kuch soch he raha tha ki alarm ki bahot halki awaaj sunai padi. Diwar ghadi bhi 5 baja rahi thi lekin itni jaldi kaun uthne laga tha? Arjun ki soch alarm ki awaaj band hone ke sath he khatam ho gayi.
Kapde pehan kar wo atche se tayaar hua aur seedha rasoi me chala aaya. Kisi ko jagane ka koyi irada na tha isliye khud he doodh garam karte hue hall ki light bhi jala di. Alka-Gurdeep jis kamre me thi uska darwaja khula tha aur dono he gehri neend me thi.
'Matlab Aarti ne alarm lagaya tha? Unhe kya jarurat hai itni jaldi uthne ki?', Arjun apne he khayalo me tha aur doodh ubal gaya.
'Ho gaya jyada garam.', Idhar udhar dekhne par jab kuch samajh nahi aaya toh kapde se he patila pakad kar hilate hue doodh thanda karne laga.
"Aap rehne dijiye, main kar deti hu.", Is khanakti awaaj ko sunn kar Arjun palta toh salwar-kameej pehne aur dupatte se seene ke sath sar ko dhake Afsana khadi thi. Nahane ke baad taja gulab si khili Afsana ka ye roop bhi jaanleva tha. Arjun ektak bas usko he dekhta raha.
"Khuli aankhon se khwaab dekhna galat nahi lekin hath me garam patili ke sath dekhna galat hai. Laaiye, hum karte hai aur aap baithak me jaaye.", Is baar Afsana ne ek taraf se kapde par hath rakha toh dono ki ungliya ek dusre ko chhuu gayi. Arjun ne aahista se patila Afsana ke hawale kiya lekin kareeb he khada raha. Saamne ki taraf bani chhoti si almari se Afsana ne jug nikal kar doodh ko faintna shuru kiya toh Arjun ko samajh aaya ki bartan kaha rakhe hote.
"Aapko kasht nahi dena chahta tha aur mujhe in drawers ka bhi pata nahi tha ki bartan yaha honge."
"Aap itni savere uth jaate hai iska ilm nahi tha. Hum pehle he kar dete agar khabar hoti. Saath me kya lenge?", Un gori kalaiyon me khoya Arjun ab kya jawaab deta. Thodi bahot bhi kalai dikh rahi thi toh wo bas isliye ki Afsana ko hatho ko hilana padd raha tha. Uske sabhi paridhan poori aasteen wale he dekhe the Arjun ne. Itne kareeb se wo geele baalo se aati sugandh bhi mahua ka asar karne lagi toh Arjun ne khud ko sambhala. Afsana ne sharmate hue doodh ka gilas Arjun ko thamaya aur bahar jaane lagi. Arjun ko toh ye pata he na chala tha kab doodh gilas me daal diya Afsana ne.
"Rukiye. Main bhi bahar he jaane wala hu toh aapko drop kar dunga."
"Hum khaali hath jaayenge kya? Motor chalane jaa rahe hai jis se paani ki kami na ho.", Arjun is jawaab se khud he jhemp gaya. Afsana kal raat jab aayi thi toh ek bag liye thi aur abhi bhi usne saaf kapde pehne the aur Aarti ke kapde Afsana ke aane wale nahi the. Muskurata hua wo doodh ki ghoont bharne laga. 10 minute baad he Afsana ek baar fir uske saamne thi, hath me bag liye.
"Arjun, tum itni subah kaha ja rahe ho?", Aarti bhi unindi si kamre se bahar chali aayi toh Arjun ko tayaar dekh pooch liya.
"Wo mujhe Jagtar bhaiya se kaam hai toh unhone sadhe 5 baje bola tha aane ke liye. Ghante bhar tak wapis aa jaunga. Nashte ke liye kuch lana hai?", Arjun ki nashte wali baat par Afsana ne ghoor kar Aarti ko dekha jo ab muskura rahi thi.
"Haan, chhole poodi le aana 3 plate. Gurughar ke pas he dukaan hai jo 6 baje he sab banane lagte hai."
"Aapko maloom hain na Aarti ammi ne khaas kaha tha ke aaj naasta hamare yaha hai aapka? 8 baje matlab 8 baje. Aur aap hume hamare ghar tak chhod sakte hai?", Afsana ke gusse ko dekh Aarti aur Arjun bas muskura rahe the.
"Chhodega kyu nahi. Tum kaho toh Arjun goad me le jayega. Hahahaha..", Ab Afsana ka gussa kafoor ho chuka tha aur chehre par sharam chha gayi.
"Chaliye main aapko ghar ke saamne utaar dunga. Aarti didi waise he majaak kar rahi thi.", Arjun ne bag lena chaha toh Afsana ne naa me gardan hilate hue usko apne sath laga liya.
"Aap chaliye hum aate hai.", Arjun car ki chaabi liye bahar chal diya.
"Aap jaanti hai na Aarti aisa majak nahi karna chahiye? Aapke bhai ke saamne he ye behuda baat karni thi?"
"Rehne de meri bholi gudiya, sab jaanti hu main. Tere gaal aise he gulabi nahi hue the aur abhi tu nikal, naaste par teri aisi khinchai karungi yaad rakhegi.", Aarti ke kathan me alag he josh tha aur sakuchati si Afsana uska hath pakde bahar chal di.
"Aap ye maskhari ammi ke saamne matt kariyega. Waise pehli baar hum aise jaa rahe hai, kuch galat toh nahi hain na?"
"Oh meri maa, ye mera bhai hai aur aunty ji isko jaanti hai bachpan se. Is mohalle me tujhe shayad he koyi jaanta ho jo tu itni parwah karti hai."
"Humko sabhi jaante hai ke hum Afsana Hussain hai.",Afsana ke bholepan par Aarti ko hansi aa gayi.
"Tere naam ko aur tere burke ko jaante honge lekin ye jo pari jaisi sundar ladki hai na isko yaha kisi ne nahi dekha. Ja wo tera intjaar kar raha hai. Mere bhai se thoda dur rehna, keh deti hu.", Aarti jaldi se darwaja band karti hui andar bhaag aayi.
"Aapko maar ki jarurat hai thodi.", Hansti hui Afsana ke motiyon se daant aur surkh gulabi adharo ko dekhta Arjun fir se dhyaan bhatakne laga. Darwaja band hone ki awaaj par usko hosh aaya lekin Afsana pichli seat par ja baithi thi.
"Driver wali feeling le rahi hai aap toh.", Arjun ne ye baat shishe me dekhte hue kahi aur Afsana ne dupatte ka ek seera chehre par kar liya.
"Hum aapki tauheen nahi kar rahe hai lekin sath baithna sawaal bann sakta hai. Aapko bura laga toh hum utar sakte hai.."
"Hahaha.. Matlab aap hain kya? Aisi chhoti chhoti baaton se bhala bura kisko lagta hai. Main apni didi aur maa ko bhi pichli seat par baitha kar he gaadi chalata hu. Aur atcha hai ki aap pichli seat par hai, nahi toh gaadi chalate hue dhyaan bhatakna khatarnaak ho sakta hai."
"Bas kijiye ab. Dekh abhi bhi aap idhar he rahe hai aur aisa karna galat hai.", Arjun ne ye baat turant maan li aur khamoshi se sadak par dhyaan dene laga. Shaant mahol aur park me sair karte hue gine chune log. Lekin ab Afsana ko ye khamoshi khatak rahi thi. Wo aaine me lagatar dekh rahi thi jaise Arjun se ab najar milegi. Ghar ke saamne car rukte he wo hosh me aayi. Bina kuch kahe wo seedha gate kholti hui andar chali gayi. Arjun ne bhi car ko Jagtar bhai ke ghar ke pas wale park ki taraf ghuma liya. Aaj bahot kuch jaankari leni thi unse gaanv aur waha ke logo ke baare me.
Behtreen shaandaar Aafreen ish likhawat ko salam Bahut hi jarrine alfajo se rachi gai ek aur nayi soch se bhari hui update.Update 142
Jawaan Din-Haseen Raat (3)
"Maa, Arjun apne Pandit ji ka pauta hai aur college me jo vakya hua tha na waha isne he madad ki thi.", Arjun us aalishan drawing hall me Jagtar ke pas he baitha tha jaha pichli bar gehra sannatta tha. Aaj ghar pe Jagtar aur uski mata ji maujud the lekin Jasleen pados me he Kirti ke ghar gayi hui thi. Jagtar ne Arjun ka parichaya diya toh uski mata ji ne bade he sneh se Arjun ke sar par hath firate hue aashirwad diya.
"Sanskar aur sewa ke liye alag he sthaan hai beta tumhare pariwar ka. Bahot khushi hui tumhe saamne dekh kar aur apne bacho ka ek sahi dost dekh kar. Waise toh Jaggi bhi bahot atcha aur jimmewar hai beta hai lekin tumhare baare me pata chala toh milne ki bahut itcha thi.", Arjun aur Jagtar ek-ek sofe par baithe the aur Jagtar ki mata ji ne kaanch ki table par dono ke liye doodh ke sath mewe rakhe aur unke saamne wale bade sofe par baith gayi.
"Aunty ji shiksha me toh aapne bhi koyi kami nahi aane di hai. Bhaiya dharam-karam ke sath sath kitne jimmewar hai ye main pichli mulakaat me he dekh chuka hu. Aur jaisi sakratmak urja aapke ghar me vyapt hai us se saaf pata chalta hai ke aap swayam he sidhhant aur sanskaro ko mehtava sarvopari rakhti hai. Pehli guru maa he hoti hai har bache ke jiwan me aur maa shresth hoti hai.", Arjun ne ek bar fir unki taraf dono hath jodd kar abhivadan kiya toh aunty ji ke chehre par alag he muskaan aa gayi. Idhar ye tagdi deel-daul wala kutta matakta hua aaya aur Jagtar ki goad me aa baitha. Wajan kahi jyada he tha uska lekin jaise wo khud ko abhi tak pilla he samajhta tha.
"Lo dekh lo sanskar. Ye halat hai yaha ghar ki aur tumhara ye bhai abhi tak bada nahi hua hai."
"Jeus naam hai na iska? Aapne toh iske sath bhi koyi farak nahi kiya. Ye dil maa ka he ho sakta hai jo har bache ko bacha he maanti hai.", Arjun dwara apna naam liye jaane se us kutte ne bhi ek baar dekhte hue jeebh nikal kar jata diya ke haa main he Jeus hu.
"Bada atcha laga beta ji tumhare vichar jaan kar. Ye Jeus aur Jaggi dono he ek jaise hai mere liye. Haan ek ghar me mera khayal rakhta hai aur dusra bahar. Waise beta ji main aur Jaggi maharashtra ja rahe hai aur shaadi wale din hamara waha aana mumkin nahi hoga. Main khud waha tumhare pariwar se milne jarur aaungi wapis lautne par."
"Bebe (maa), Jassi ja rahi hai vyaah vich. Appa Bambai toh aaye baad mil aavanage. Arjun bhai maa ne mannat bhi ki hui hai aur ye sab pehle se nirdharit tha isliye pehle he saaf batana uchit hai. Haan Jassi apni saheliyon ke sath shaadi me shamil ho jayegi. Bas behan ka khayal rakhna, jaanta hu ke tum aisa he karoge par ab ek he chaand hai hamare ghar me toh thodi parwah rehti hai.", Arjun ko bada atcha laga tha aunty ji aur Jagtar ka bilkul he saaf baat karna aur dono he pyaar se bhare vyakti the.
"Koyi shikayat ka mauka nahi milega aapko. Ab main chalta hu aunty ji, market me didi bhi intjaar kar rahi hongi. Agli bar jab bhi aana hua toh aapse jarur milne aaunga.", Arjun khada hua toh aunty ji bhi uth gaye. Nimantran patra aur mithai ka dibba ab Jagtar ke hath me tha jo ishare se Arjun ko baithne ka keh raha tha.
"Bitiya ko bhi lete aana tha beta. Lekin main jaanti hu aisa isliye nahi kiya hoga kyonki fir bahana kya banate. Jaggi, iske sath Kirti ke ghar chale jao beta. Card Arjun ka he dena behtar hai.", Jaha Arjun Kirti wala card bhi idhar se de kar nikalna chahta tha ab aunty ji ki wajah se usko unke bhi ghar jana padna tha.
"Chal Jeus, thoda sair karke aate hai.", Jaggi waise he chappal pehne Arjun ke sath chal diya. Arjun ne jaane se pehle aunty ji ka aashirwad liya aur unhone bhi pehli bar ghar aane par halki sakhtai ke sath Arjun ki jeb me shagun daal diya. Bahar sadak par Jeus badi shalinta se in dono ke beech chal raha tha.
"Ye wala Kirti ka ghar hai bhai jo din me hamesha he khali rehta hai. Poora pariwar he business dekhta hai, aunty ji bhi.", Jagtar ne is aalishan ghar ki ghanti bajate hue bataya aur udhar Jeus bagal wale khambe par he taang utha kar apni pehchaan lagane me vyast ho gaya. Ghar aalishan tha lekin ekdum khamosh. Lakdi ka wo bada darwaja khula toh saamne Kirti aur Jasleen dono he khadi thi. Dono he aadhunik yuvtiya is waqt dheeli tshirt aur jhaalar wale pajama pehne bhi behad aakarshak lag rahi thi aur Jasleen ke chehre par sapaat bhaav dekh Arjun ne he najre Kirti ki taraf kar di.
"Hello Kirti.", Arjun ne itna kaha aur Jagtar ye lohe ka gate kholta andar he chal diya Arjun ka hath pakde hue.
"Gate se he hello shallo karoge ab? Kirti, ye shaadi ka card dene aaya hai tumhe. Priyanka ka aana possible nahi hua toh Arjun ko jehmat uthani padi. Aunty ji abhi tak nahi aaye?", Jagtar itna bol kar is jagmag hall me chala aaya aur udhar Kirti ne bade josh se Arjun ka hath thaam liya.
"Thank you so much Arjun aur mujhe Priyanka ne phone par bata diya tha ke tum aane wale ho par time nahi pata tha. Jaggi tumhe pata hai na mom 6 baje tak he aati hai. Main maid ko bol kar thanda banwati hu tum log baitho.", Kirti ne chehre se baalo ki lat kaan ke peeche karte hue kaha toh Arjun ne najre hatate hue ek baar Jasleen ko dekha aur apna jawaab diya.
"Nahi Kirti ji, uski koyi jarurat nahi hai. Main abhi Jaggi bhaiya ke ghar se aa raha hu aur aunty ji ne khila pila kar he bheja hai. Waise bhi thoda jaldi me hu toh rukna munasib nahi hai.", Jasleen uski baat sunn kar andar ki taraf chal di. Jaane kya wajah thi aur abhi tak usne Arjun ko hello bhi nahi kaha tha.
"Jarurat kaise nahi hai? Maan liya aunty ji ne atchi sewa ki hai par yaha bhi pehli baar he aaye ho toh 5 minute baith he sakte ho.", Kirti ne hath pakad kar baithaya toh Arjun bhi 5 minute ke liye maan gaya. Jaggi ne Jeus ko apne pas na dekh idhar udhar najar daudai.
"Oh bhai tum baitho main jara Jeus ko dekh kar aaya. Wo agar park me bhaag gaya toh maa ne hum dono ko he ghar se nikal dena hai is baar.", Jagtar teji se bahar aaya toh Jeus unke he ghar ki taraf ja raha tha jaha Aunty ji khade the.
"Maa bula rahi hai Arjun, main tumse kal savere milta hu bhai kyonki abhi gurughar ka samay ho gaya hai unka.", Jagtar ne hath hilate hue kaha toh Arjun ne bhi thodi hichak ke sath sar hila kar haan keh diya. Arjun aur Jagtar ne savere saadhe 5 baje milne ka samay nishchit kiya tha kuch baatein karne ke liye.
"Mera number nahi hai tumhare pas? Ghar aa rahe ho toh bata bhi sakte the ki kis waqt pahuchne wale ho.", Ab Jasleen ke chehre par sirf gussa he tha aur Kirti rasoi me ja chuki thi. Lakdi ka mukhya darwaja bhi band tha.
"Wo.. wo maine socha ki aap ghar he milogi, college band hai toh.", Arjun shayad Kirti ka ghar hone ki wajah se jyada fikarmand tha. Lekin Kirti ki parwah na karte hue Jasleen waise he gusse me bolti hui uske kareeb baith gayi.
"Aap? Bahot sahi aur har baat khud he soch liya karo ke main kaha milungi aur tum apni marji se he aaoge. Jitni baar phone par baat ki hamesha tumhara haan-hun jaisa jawaab lekin yaha aane ke baad toh araam se phone kar sakte the na?", Arjun apne ghar kaise Jasleen se khul kar baat kar sakta tha jaha koyi na koyi maujud rehta tha. University se 2 baar phone kiya tha lekin dono bar Jagtar se he baat hui thi.
"Wo maine bhi phone kiya tha 2 baar lekin Jaggi bhaiya ne uthaya toh baat nahi ho paayi. Itna gussa aur kam se kam ye toh dekho hum kaha baithe hai.", Arjun ne thodi himmat karte hue Jasleen ka hath apne dono hath ke beech lete hue kaha. Ye sparsh he toh tha jiski kami ne Jasleen ko sataya tha. Pal me he wo khamosh ho gayi. Najre dono ki he ek dusre ko nihar rahi thi aur us khoobsurat chehre par halka dard ubhar aaya.
"Sorry for my bad behaviour. Tumhe kaise batau ki kitna intjaar kar rahi thi main tumhara aur phir aaye bhi toh mujhe yaad nahi kiya. Bura nahi lagega kya?"
"Aaya bhi toh dopahar me he hu aur 3 ghante baad tumhare ghar. Maine kaha tha na ke aise safar par chalne ki koshish matt karna? Tum bahot he pyaari ladki jo Jasleen aur tumhe dard dene wala duniya ka sabse badnaseeb insaan he ho sakta hai.", Arjun ke aisa kehne par Jasleen ne uske hontho par hath rakh diya.
"Shhhh.. Itna bhi jaleel mat karo ab. Bas ho jati hu thodi emotional aur gussa apne upar he aata hai. Waise tum 5 minute me jaane ka kyu bol rahe the?", Jasleen ka patla chharhara jism ab poori tarah se Arjun ke sath juda hua tha baayi taraf se. Wo gori naajuk ungliya hontho par he thi jinhe Arjun ke choomte he sharam se Jasleen ne hata liya. "gande kahi ke."
"5 minute se jyada tumhare pas raha toh phir se thank you le lunga aur ye jagah alag hai. Waise market me didi intjaar kar rahi hongi isliye bhi jaldi jana hai.", Arjun aakhiri baar wale chumban ka jikar kiya toh Jasleen ne khud he uska hath majbooti se pakad liya.
"Chalo utho aur ghar chalo mere sath. 5 minute mere hisse ke abhi baaki hai.", Jasleen ko bhi pata tha ki ab unke ghar bhi koyi nahi hoga. Kirti khaas dost thi lekin uske saamne wo bhi khul kar Arjun se baat nahi kar sakti thi. Jasleen ke khade hote he Arjun ki najar us dheele pajame ke khaas hisse par atak gayi. Jasleen ke tarashe hue madhyam se ubhaar aur lambi taange jaanleva thi. Kirti idhar he chali aayi tray me sharbat liye.
"Ab tum dono uth kar kaha chalne ki tayaari me ho?"
"Ye wapis ja raha hai aur ghar pe cards reh gaye hai jo uthane hai. Main aati hu 5 minute me wapis.", Ye 5 minute jaise aaj har insaan maang raha tha aur Arjun ne dhanyawad karte hue ek saans me sharbat ka gilas khaali karke tray me rakh diya.
"Jaldi he milte hai aur abhi kuch jaruri kaam hai toh jana jaruri hai Kirti ji."
"Samajh sakti hu aur agli baar samay nikaal kar he aana Arjun.", Kirti darwaje tak chhodne bahar aayi aur dono he Jasleen ke ghar ki taraf badh chale.
"Waha shisha bhi laga tha aur tum najre jyada he ghumate rehte hai.", Ghar ke andar aate he Jasleen ne Arjun ke maje lene shuru kar diye.
"Model jaisi ho tum bilkul ya ye kahu ke ek khoobsurat model.", Arjun andar hall me aaya toh Jeus ek taraf ungh raha tha. Aaj ghar me kaam karne wali wo aunty najar nahi aayi thi jo shayad avkaash pe thi. Arjun ke kadam rukne he lage the aur Jasleen hath pakadti usko apne kamre me aa gayi.
"X-ray karne ke baad kitni dhitai se jawaab dete ho. Waise sachmuch bahot gande ho tum.. Ummaahhh.", Jis josh se Jasleen ne Arjun ki kameej pakadte hue apne honth uske hontho se milaye the Arjun dheela he padd gaya. Jasleen ki tadap toh bina kisi milan ke he charam par thi aur uske patle madd-bhare hontho ka swaad bharpoor mithaas se bhara tha. Aisa he chumban Arjun ne kiya tha aur Jasleen jaise us din ko he yaad karti hui apna pyaar dikhane lagi. 25-26 inch ki us makhmali kamar par Arjun ka sparsh hote he Jasleen ki wo badi badi aankhen jhatke me khul gayi. Wo pur-kashish se bas Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Mardana sparsh is andruni naram hisse par nayi tarange paida karne laga. Rengte hue dono hath ne jaise he Jasleen ke kulho ko dabate hue Arjun ke sath atche se chipkaya uski aankhen fir se band ho gayi.
Kampkampate geele gulabi hontho par ab Arjun janleva kalakari karta hua Jasleen ko apna poora ehsaas karwane laga. Jaha Jasleen ke sharir se nikalti khaas mehak Arjun ko uttejit kar rahi thi wahi Arjun ka mardana sparsh aur uske hatho ke majbooti me Jasleen bhi pighalne lagi. Uske madhyam akaar ke thos chuche pehli baar mard ki chhati se dabte hue aur kathor hone lage. Samay se pare inka ye chumban ab ek dusre ki rasna choosne tak aage badh chala. Jasleen ki jeebh ko jitna Arjun apne mooh me pakad kar choosta, utna he wo meetha taral rista hua uske halak se niche utar jata. Ye chumban ab hadd se aage ja raha tha aur Arjun ki hatheli ne Jasleen ka wo kathor ubhar poora muthi me jakad liya. Jasleen ke sharir ka har roya second ke 100ve bhaag me khada ho chuka tha is harkat se. Uske ubhar par bas Arjun ka hath lagne maatra se ek lehar nabhi se uski akshat yoni tak daud gayi. Sharir me asankhya visphot aaj pehli baar he hue the aur Jasleen nidhal hoti hui Arjun ki baahon me pighal gayi.
Aaj se pehle tak Jasleen ko sirf hasthmaithun ka thoda anubhav tha wo bhi akele me yoni ko upar se sehlane tak. Lekin Arjun ke us sparsh ne jaise uski yoni ko ras-vihin he kar diya tha aur wo bhi bina waha kuch kiye. 2 minute baad kahi Jasleen ko hosh aaya toh wo bister par leti thi. Kareeb baitha Arjun bade pyaar se uska matha aur gaal sehlate hue bas usko he nihare ja raha tha. Jasleen ke chehre par jahan bhar ki sharam aur laali vyapt thi jiska bhaan Arjun ko atche se tha.
"Kya ye pehli baar tha?", Arjun ke aise sawaal ne jaise Jasleen ko nirvastra he kar diya. Takiye me mooh chupane ki koshish bhi jab nakaam rahi toh sharmati hui Jasleen ne bhi kehna uchit samjha.
"Har roj toh tum mujhe kiss nahi karte na? Aur aaj kiss se kuch jyada he ho gaya tha. Bahot jyada gande ho tum aur sab tumne kiya hai."
"Waise sach kahu toh mera hath tumne khud he apne yaha rakha tha aur ye nishan tumhare he nakhoon ke hai meri kalai par. Diet lena shuru karo thodi, abhi hath lagane se behosh ho rahi ho aur kal ko thoda aage badh gaye toh pata nahi police mera kya haal karegi.", Arjun se us sparsh ki asliyat pata lagte he wo aur jayda he sharmane lagi thi. Najre churati wo karwat liye dusri taraf mooh karke dhime sawar me bolne lagi.
"Mujhe tumhara sparsh har taraf chahiye aur utne he pyaar se jitna tumne kiss kiya. Waise sachmuch tum bure ho. Ye bhi toh keh sakte the ki tumne khud he hath waha rakha.", Is tarah karwat hone se Arjun ab atche se Jasleen ke ubhre hue nitamb nihar raha tha. Wahi Jasleen bas khayal bana rahi thi ab Arjun kya sochega aur kya bolega. Lekin jaise he apne lachile kulho par Arjun ka hath rengta mehsoos hua, Jasleen ki dhadkan phir se aniyantrit ho gayi. Wo jhallar wala dheela makhmali pajama jaise waha tha he nahi aur golakar kataav liye wo hissa itna romanchit bhi kar sakta hai ye Jasleen ne bas abhi mehsoos kiya.
"Abhi chalta hu Jas, der ho rahi hai. Jald milte hain.", Arjun ne upar jhukte hue chehra saamne kiya toh Jasleen jaise nivedan kar rahi thi ki aaj wo uske pas he rahe. Ye mumkin kaha tha. Ek pal dono ke honth mile aur Arjun turant yaha se nikal chala. Aaj he Jasleen ne mehsoos kiya tha ki Arjun ab uske liye kya maayne rakhne laga hai. Wo uske bina sachmuch jee na sakegi aur Arjun ne khud pehle he usko mana kiya tha in kadmo ko rokne ke liye. Is duvidha me bhi Jasleen ki chahat ek samaan badh he rahi thi.
'I love you..', Itna kehti wo phir se un char taadiyo wale pankhe ko niharne lagi jaise shunya me bhi waha Arjun ka he chehra ho.

Is tehkhane me kahi jyada he andhkar tha aur lambai agyaat. Seedhiyon se 4 jodi kadam niche is thandak bhare tehkhane me utarne lage toh ek pal ke liye jaise surya he prakashit ho gaya us shaksh ke saamne jo kursi par adhnangi halat me bandha tha. Kis band pade godam ka ye tehkhana 100 gaj ke kareeb lambai aur uske aadhi chaudai liye ek bada hall tha. Roshni se aankhen kuch abhyast hui toh apni taraf badhte kadmo ki disha me dhyaan gaya.
"Itne bhi shatir nahi ho ki hamari najar me na aao. Toh kaise ho Balbir Lohan? Suna hai chhena-jhaptti chhod kar ab logo ke katal karwane ke thekedar bann gaye ho.", Pandit Rameshwar Sharma ke sath unka pauta Sanjiv Sharma bhi hamesha ki tarah uchit patloon kameej aur chamde ke joote pehne is shaksh ke kareeb aa khada hua. Pandit ji ki awaaj he bahut rehti thi kisi bhi purane mujrim ko yaad dilane ke liye ki ye vyakti abhi tak un file par kaam jaari rakhe hai jo inke retirement tak adhuri thi. Police department khud inse gujarish karta tha apni sevayen dene ki, sa-shart aur natija bhi saamne tha. Jald he Pandit ji Lohan ke saamne rakhi kursi par baith gaye. Col sahab bhi DIG Nirmal Singh ke sath yaha maujud the.
"Pandit ji.. main aapke pariwar se koso dur raha hu. Wo.. woh toh Shankar ne humla kiya toh bachaav karna he pada. Dekhiye mujhe doctor aur vakeel ki jarurat hai, remand court me pesh karke bhi le sakte hai.", Lohan tha jigar wala chahe wo is shaksh se darta tha aur pata bhi tha ke yaha koyi maar-pitai wala kaam uske sath nahi kiya jayega.
"Dekho Balbir, maine tumhe 27 saal pehle ek chhoti si chori ke apradh me baksh diya tha kyonki ek mauka sabko milna chahiye. Badle me tumne kya kiya? Kaise adaa kiya us ehsaan ka badla jis se hum tumhe ek behtar vyakti banana chahte the? Aaj tum keh rahe ho ke mere pariwar se koso dur ho, lekin sach tumhe atche se pata hai bete. Galti ek baar hoti hai ya 2 baar, uske baad wo niyat aur aadat. Yaha sirf mere he pariwar ki badaulat tumhe nahi laya gaya hai kyonki wo log toh tumhe kuch samajhte he nahi. Jaante ho na mera ishara?", Ab kahi Lohan ka kanth sookh gaya tha. Aaj bhi Rameshwar ji ne usko bete keh kar pukara tha jaise 27 saal pehle usko thaane se riha karte hue kaha tha. Majboot apradhi ka bhi sar niche jhukan bata raha tha ki Pandit ji ne kabhi uske sath bura nahi kiya tha aur wo unhe he chott pahuchane me laga raha.
"Sir, main baat karne ki ijajat chahta hu is se.", Sanjiv ne apne he dada ko 'sir' keh kar sambodhit kiya tha aur Lohan ne is awaaj ko sunn kar Sanjiv ki taraf dekha jo manjuri milne ke baad ab thik Lohan ke saamne khada tha.
"Tum bache ho. Mujhse agar koyi baat karega toh wo Pandit ji.", Lohan ke aisa kehne par Sanjiv ke chehre par alag he bhaav aa gaye. Ek kutil muskaan liye wo Lohan ke samne jhuk gaya chehra kareeb karte hue.
"Hum 2 bhai hai Lohan aur dono he har kaam aise karte hai ki dekhne wale ko bas ek he najar aata hai. Jaante ho ye bachkana sa lagne wala andaaj humne kaha se seekha hai? Video game se. Main saamne rehkar goliyan chalata hu toh sabko lagta hai ke main he hu jo hu lekin unko wo nahi dikhta jo har taraf najar rakhe mujhko cover deta. Tum jaante ho mere bhai ko aur wo mujhse bhi chhota hai lekin abhi se tumhara baap hai.", Sanjiv ka andaaj kabile-gor tha aur Lohan har lafz ko dhyaan se sunn ne ke baad hairat se dekhne laga.
"Tum.. Tumhara chhota bhai Arjun Sharma hai matlab tum bhi Shankar ke bete ho? Yani Pandit ji ke paute?"
"Yaadasht bahot atchi hai tumhari aur haan wo mera bhai jisne tumhari patloon dur se he geeli kar di thi. Aur tum apne ka kitna bada turram khan samajhte ho jo 4 ghante me he pakad me aa gaye? Maar toh main tumhe vahi deta lekin aisa hai ke kuch sawal hai mere pas tumhare liye.", Sanjiv ne pushti kar di thi ki uski asliyat kya hai aur aisa wo tabhi karta tha jab insaan kareebi ho ya fir aise vyakti ko jeene ka adhikar he na ho.
"Arjun aur tum, dono he maare jaoge agar mujhe kuch bhi hua toh. Uska naam main pehle he bata chuka jisko batana jaruri tha."
"Aur wo badnaseeb bhi poore pariwar ke sath kal raat mara gaya. Kismat aisi he hai ya mehnat se itni buri banai hai? Aadmi bhejte ho toh unka accident ho jata hai, hamla karte ho toh khud ghayal ho jaate ho, jis par bharosa karte ho wahi duniya se chala jata hai... aakhir tum khud panauti ho ya aaspas sabhi manhoos log he hai tumhare? Ab gor se suno 4 sawaal aur unke badle me 4 sahi jawaab. Galati par jaan se nahi maarunga lekin tum bheek maangoge ki maut mil jaye.", Ab Rameshwar ji bhi idhar se uth kar thoda alag chale aaye. Lohan samajh nahi pa raha tha ke uske sath ho kya raha hai. Sanjiv ne usko bebas kar he diya tha.
"Tumne Shabnam ka sath Mohar Singh ke kehne par toh nahi diya tha kyonki tumhari najar me Mohar ki koyi ijjat nahi thi. Kiske kehne par tumne apne log bheje the Shabnam dwara batai vardat anjaam dene ke liye? Galat naam aur main bataunga ki tumhara pariwar bhi hai.", Sanjiv ne sawaal ke sath jo jikar kiya us se Lohan toh hairat me tha he Rameshwar ji bhi achambhe me padd gaye. Lohan ayyash apradhi tha jo giroh sargana tha. Uske biwi-bache the he nahi Pandit ji ki najar me ya kisi bhi vyakti ki.
"Jhooth jhooth hai ye.."
"Galat jawaab toh ab tumhare 3 bacho me se beech wala gaya. Beta hai na tumhara beech wala bacha? Badi beti fir choti beti aur beech me tumhara pyara beta."
"Nahi nahi.. unhe beech me laane ki jarurat nahi hai main sab jawaab dunga lekin mere pariwar tak nahi jaoge."
"Tum hamare pariwar ko khatam karne ke liye gunde bhejo jabki dada ji ke kitne ehsaan rahe hai lekin main aisa na karu. Ek waja do Lohan, bas ek wajah do aisa na karne ki? Sawaal wahi hai aur ab 5 sawaal honge.", Sanjiv ke chehre par aaya gussa bahot kuch bata raha tha. Baat farz ke sath sath pariwar ki thi aur in dono me he Sanjiv ne jiwan samarpit kiya tha.
"Shabnam sirf chehra dikhane ke liye bulai gayi thi. Aadmi maine Karam Singh ke kehne par bheje the kyonki wo chahta tha ki Shabnam ko bhi maar diya jaye lekin uski hatya alag dikhni chahiye.", Lohan ko jara bhi bhanak na thi ki is samay awaaj ke sath sath video bhi banai jaa rahi thi is tehkikaat ki. Chere par paseena chhalak aaya tha beshak yaha halki thandak thi.
"17 saal pehle mandir ke saamne humla tumne karwaya tha na Shankar chacha ke bete par? Aadmi samajhdar ho toh naam apne aap bata doge.", Itni purani ghatna par sawaal wo bhi Sanjiv ke mooh se sunn kar Rameshwar ji bhi pareshan hone lage the. Lekin iska sach unhone bhi jaan-na tha.
"Haan. Mera aadmi wahi mara gaya tha us ghatna ko anjaam dete hue. Sarang sahab ne us waqt ki sabse badi supari di thi mujhe, 10 lakh ki. Lekin 3 prayaas me bhi main asafal raha aur kisi aur jurm me jail pahuch gaya. Uske baad kabhi Sarang sahab se baat nahi hui.", Lohan ab is tafteesh me poora sath de raha tha. Uske pariwar ki salamat he jaise sabkuch thi aur apna anjaam wo jaise samajh chuka tha. Sarang Kumar ka naam sunn kar Rameshwar ji ke kandhe par Col sahab ne hath rakhte hue unhe shant rehne ka ishara diya.
"Toh wo nurse kaun thi jisne Narinder Sharma ke navjaat bete ko jehar diya tha?", Sanjiv jaise jajbati he hone laga tha kyonki kuch sawaal usko bhi pareshan kar rahe the.
"Main bilkul nahi jaanta aur jaisa lagta hai toh isme bhi Sarang Sahab ka hath hoga aur wo peeche saboot nahi chhodte. Main nahi jaanta us nurse ke baare me, apne pariwar ki saugandh.", Lohan ke aise bebasi waale chehre ko dekh kar Sanjiv ne gehri saans li aur khud ko shaant karne ki cheshta karne laga.
"Arjun Singh ke baare me kya jaante ho?", Ab Rameshwar ji ko bhi laga ke sawaal disha bhatak chuke hai aur Sanjiv ko ye parat nahi kholni chahiye. Lekin der ho chuki thi kyonki Lohan naam le chuka tha.
"Sarang sahab jawaab de sakte hai iska. Maine toh bas waha se 15 laash he uthai thi afsar lekin wo insaan chahta toh kisi ko bhi zinda na chhodta. Arjun Singh urf Ajju. Bemisaal aadmi tha wo jisko ek aurat ne aansuo ki aad me dhokhe se mara. Ek nihathe ne dhai darjan laashe 10 minute me bicha di thi aur unme aur bhi kayi naam judd jaate Sarang sahab samet he agar wo aurat Neelima aur Shalini naam le kar uske saamne na gidgidati. Bas uske baad un bhediyon ne koyi daya na dikhai us ghutno par gire yodha par. Main toh ek driver tha bas lekin us aurat ko bhool nahi sakta. Hatyara toh main bhi hu lekin mard ka hamesha samman kiya hai maine. Agar Sarang sahab tak na pahuch sako toh main thodi aur madad kar deta hu.", Lohan jaise mureed tha Ajju ka beshak ek apradhi tha par usko jaise wo ghatnakram shat-pratishat yaad tha. Ab Rameshwar ji uske kareeb aa chuke the.
"Ye Neelima wahi hai na jo xxxx shehar ke tehsildar ki beti thi?"
"Ji Pandit ji aur Sarang sahab ki eklauti bhanji bhi. Mujhe 4 ghante me dhoond liya toh isko 3-4 din me toh khoj he lenge. Waise kar aap bhi kuch nahi sakte Sarang sahab ke saamne.", Lohan ke kataaksh ka saaf matlab tha ki Sarang Kumar apne aap me he ek bada naam tha. Lekin yaha aaj Rameshar ji ka dimag sarak chuka tha apne ladle bete ka hatyakaand sunn kar.
"Balbir, tum baaki naam nahi le rahe ho. Aur iska matlab hai tum Sanjiv ki baat bhool gaye.", Itna sard kathan aur aankhon se nikalti ushma se Lohan bhi seham sa gaya tha.
"Zorawar, Bhawani, Chandarbhan, Karam Singh ke sath Avdhesh Mishra bhi shamil tha us sabme. Pandit ji, wo sabhi toh ab zinda nahi rahe aur inka kehna hai ki Avdhesh ji bhi maare gaye kal raat. Isliye ye naam nahi liye maine aur us aurat ko Sarang sahab apne sath he car me le gaye the lekin phir maine usko bhi kahi nahi dekha."
"Isko maar do Sanjiv aur iska pariwar bhi shayad iski asliyat se parichit nahi hai. Wo batana matt bhoolna.", Rameshwar ji uthne lage toh Lohan bifarta hua gidgidane he lag pada.
"Sach kehta hu Pandit ji ki main itna he janta hu. Mujhe beshak maar dijiye lekin mera pariwar sukoon se apni he alag duniya me hai, usko matt beech me laaye. Haan.. Ajju Singh ne us aurat ko kaaki keh kar pukara tha. 2 aur bhi jawan chehre the jo dur the lekin dono he jaise nayi suhagane thi. Ek patri ke sath wali diwar ke pare aur dusri aam ke junglaat se sab dekh rahi thi. Main nahi jaanta ke wo kaun thi. Mere pariwar ko baksh dijiye main hath joddta hu.", Rameshwar ji itna sunn kar shaant ho gaye the. Wo do nav-byahta unhe bhi maloom tha ke kaun thi lekin 'kaaki' ne uljha he diya.
"Nirmal Singh ji, Balbir ko uchit dekhrekh me dhyaan se rakhwaiye. Iski chikitsa ka prabandh bhi behtar ho ye jarur sunishchit kijiyega. Bete, hum aaj bhi apradh ko khatam karne me yakeen karte hai, apradhi ko nahi. Lekin ab tumhe sahi karavas bhogna hoga aur hum tumhare pariwar ki bhi uchit dekhbhal karenge.", Rameshwar ji ne ek bar fir apni dariyadili dikha di thi lekin Sanjiv abhi ashaant tha aur apne dada ji ke aise kehne par agla sawaal wo puch nahi sakta tha Lohan se.
"Pandit ji, is rehamdili ke badle ek baat aur batana chahta hu aapko.", 2 policewale abhi Lohan ko lene he aaye the aur hath khulte he usko dono taraf se pakad kar wahi ruk gaye.
"Batao aisi kya baat hai jo tum hume itne vishwas ke sath batana chahte ho?"
"Sushila Singh ki supari uthi hai 2 din pehle aur kaam karwane wala koyi unke he gaanv ka hai. Ho sake toh dekh lena shayad wo jo koyi bhi hai uske pas sabhi sawalo ka jawaab ho.", Ab Sanjiv ne ek lambi saans bhari aur apne dada ki taraf dekha.
"Tumne nahi li uski supari? Waise wo beti hai hamari toh usko hum kuch hone nahi denge Balbir."
"Behan mana hai maine bhi Sushila ko pandit ji. Bhawani jaisa bhi tha lekin mera khaas tha aur Sushila uske sath meri bhi badi behan rahi hai. Main pata he karwa raha tha lekin Shankar ne ye sab kar diya."
"Shankar se bach gaya ye atcha hua Balbir. Wo sawaal nahi karta aur hum jaan nahi lete. Dhanyawad is sehyog ke liye. Chalo Sanjiv, isko thik hone ke baad he pesh karna hai.", Pandit ji pehle he apne mitro aur paute ke sath nikal chale aur Lohan kadi suraksha me surakshit jagah pahucha diya gaya tha.
"Tum kehte ho ki Arjun bhi yaha tak pahuch gaya hai jaha tak Balbir ne jaankari di?", Pandit ji shaam ke dhundalke me ab ek taraf Sanjiv se guftgu kar rahe the aur Col sahab DIG ke sath.
"Ye Sushila ji wali jaankari nahi thi aur munna jaankari rakhta hai Arjun Singh wale ghatna ki lekin asli apradhi tak wo bhi nahi pahucha hai. Hum dono he mil kar kaam kar rahe the aur uska kehna hai aap bhi is maamle me sahayta kar sakte hai. Ab shayad wo aage khojbin na kare gharwalo ki wajah se lekin wo pata lagana chahta hai ki Arjun Singh ji ke sath asliyat me kya hua tha."
"Bete, mujhe bas is baat ka he darr tha kahi Arjun Ajju ko samajhne na nikal pade. Ye naam humne bhi kabhi jubaan par na aane dia kyonki is naam se humne ek naya beta paa liya tha. Balbir ki he kathni dekho, wo ek dushman ki sirf tareef he kar raha tha. Mujhe toh itna sab bhi maloom na chal paya tha ki kaise darindo ne ek saaf-dil insaan ko gher kar mara. Shaadi tak is maamle me koyi khojbin na karna bete aur Arjun ke sath main tumhari maujdgi me he araam se vichar karunga.", Rameshwar ji badi safaai se apni aankhon me aayi nami ko chhupa gaye. Aaj unke jakhm fir se hare ho gaye the aur wo kuch waqt apni dharampatni ka sath chahte the.
"Chalo bhai Satish ab ghar chalna chahiye. Kal Nirmal ke sath waise bhi golf ka karyakram toh hai he.", Unki baat par dono he idhar chale aaye aur Nirmal Singh ji ne bhi hath milate hue abhaar jataya aur ye apne ghar ke liye nikal chale. Sanjiv ka bhi antarman vyathit tha jaise aaj wo is mamle me bas kuch he duri par atak gaya tha lekin sach ye bhi tha ki Lohan ne khud sari jaankari di thi unhe. Ab intjaar tha toh Arjun ka jiske saamne unke dada ji shayad is rehasyamayi purush ka purn ullekh kare.

Halka andhkar hone par Sangwan ke farmhouse se Bhuppi, Mehul, Param aur bade Sangwan ji ja chuke the. Shankar ko bhi Narinder ne Bhuppi ke he ghar bhej diya tha jis se wo ab araam kar sake. Tarantaal me Narinder ke sath Umed ki alag he daud jaari thi. Aadha ghanta uchit gati se tairne ke baad dono he kinare aa ruke toh bahar baithe Daleep ne he sulagti ciggratte Umed ki taraf badhai.
"Marne ka irada hai kya Daleep bhai? Saans chadhi hui hai aur aap ye pila do. Raat haseen hone wali hai kal ki tarah, Rajesh ko bula lijiye aap tab tak hum dono bhi tayaari kar lete hai.", Daleep ke chehre par chamak aa gayi thi naya mission sunn kar.
"Aaj kaha dhava bolna hai?"
"Aaj dhava nahi bolna Daleep bhai, sendh lagani hai.", Ye baat Narinder ne kahi thi Umed ki jagah. Dono ke he balisht sharir bhigne par kahi jyada he aakarshak lag rahe the. Narinder aur Umed ne hamesha he sharir ko mehatava diya tha har jaruri cheej ke sath.
"Toh usme Rajesh ko kyu bulana? Sendh lagane ke liye toh main akela he bahot hu bas jagah aur aadmi batao.", Daleep ke aatmvishwas ko dekh kar Umed aur Inder muskurane lage.
"Rajesh ka sath chalna bahot jaruri hai bhai. Ye samajh lo ke waha sendh lagane wali chaabi Rajesh he hai aur baaki kaam hum teeno ne karna hai.", Narinder ki niyantrit baat sunn kar Daleep ne aashwasan me sar hila diya.
"Badlo bhai tum log kapde pehno aur itni he der me wo bhi aa jayega.", Daleep kash lagata hua building ke andar chala gaya aur peeche ye dono ek dusre ko dekhne lage.
"Toh tumhe ummeed hai ki Karam Singh ke ghar se humko jaankari milegi?", Umed ne ye sawal karne ke sath he bahar rakhi baniyan se khud ko saaf karna shuru kar dia. Sachmuch ek datiyakar insaan he tha Umed Singh aur sadhe 6 feet kad sirf lambai maatra nahi, jism bhi utna he bejod tha. Kam toh Narinder bhi nahi tha bas dikhne me wo ek tagda khoobsurat abhineta lagta tha.
"Ummeed nahi main yakeen se kehta hu ke Karam Singh ke ghar humko bahot se sawalo ke jawaab milne wale hai Gajju. Wo akela reh raha tha aur uski maa Damyanti bhi ab udhar nahi rehti. Mujhe lagta hai ke wo bilkul sahi jagah hai chhanbin ki."
"Aur Rajesh ka is sabse kya lena dena?"
"uski car ka lena dena hai bhai. Wo wahi khadi karenge jaha Karme ka katal hua tha. Daleep najar rakhega aur hum teeno uske ghar ki chhanbin karenge.", Narinder ne wahi apna geela kachha utarte hue apni baniyan se us khaas hisse ko sukhane ka upkram kiya aur aise he nirvastra ghaas par chalta kapdo ke pas aa gaya. Umed bhi samaan awastha me tha aur jald he dono patloon pehan kar hatho se he baal sukhane lage. Aaj shayad ye ek sahi thikane par sendh lagane chale the aur ye bhi ho sakta tha ki unhe aisa kuch mile jis se kadmo ke niche ki jameen hil jaaye. Ab bas raat haseen hone ka intjaar tha Rajesh ke aane ke sath sath.

Market me kharidi karne aur ghoomne firne me he raat ke 8 baj gaye the in teeno ko. Arjun ne dinner ke liye agli market jaane ka kaha toh dono he behno ne saaf inkaar kar diya. Aaj pehli bar in dono ladkiyon ne poore 50 hajaar ka samaan kharid liya tha aur Arjun ka purse abhi tak jyo ka tyo tha. Ye paise usko maa se mile the aur sath he daadi ke diye 200000 shesh the.
"Ye halka fulka khaane ke chakkar me Aarti ne meri toh jaan he nikaal di. Main toh dinner nai karne wali."
"Mera bhi haal aisa he hai hai Alka. Peit me jara si bhi jagah nahi hai aur araam ki talab kuch jyada he ho rahi hai. Maa ka samaan savere he sametenge.", Dono ki aisi halat dekh Arjun hansta hua unhe liye ghar wapis aa gaya. Sachmuch aaj Alka aur Aarti ne dil khol kar samaan kharida tha, sirf apne liye he nahi balki Ritu, Preeti, Komal ke sath sabhi behno ke liye. Romela ji ka bhi samaan ek alag gatte ke bakse me band karke wahi pichli seat par rakha tha. Car jaise he ghar ke saamne ruki toh Afsana aur Zubeidaa bhi scootry se aa pahuchi.
"Ye Afsu ke itni raat me aane ki wajah didi?", Car se nikalte he Aarti ne Zubeida didi se sawaal kiya jo sab bhula kar Arjun se gale lag kar mili.
"Kyu? Pehle bhi toh tumhare sath rahi hai na raat me. Aur ye janaab toh Eid ho gaye hai. Shehar me bhi hai lekin sehan me nahi.", Zubeidaa ki baat par Arjun kya jawab deta jabki usko khud atcha lag raha tha unse gale milna. Koyi 30 second tak wo waise he gale lage rahe.
"Abba intjaar me honge baji.", Afsana toh is waqt bhi salwar kameej ke sath mooh par dupatta liye the.
"Oh meri Benajir Bhutto, jisko dekhne aayi hai kam se kam apna toh istakbaal karwa de. Dhyaan rakhna iska tum sabhi, aajkal jara kaayde me nahi hai madam.", Zubeida ne bina kisi ki parwah ke Arjun ka gaal choomne ke baad aisa he Aarti aur Alka ke sath kiya aur wapis chali gayi. Afsana larajti hui Aarti ke sath andar chali gayi.
"Tum ruka jara yaha.", Alka ne Arjun ka hath thaam liya. Wo jaise is pal me Ritu he bann gayi thi.
"Kya hua didi.?", Besakhta Arjun ke mooh se bhi didi he nikla aur Alka thoda gambhir ho gayi.
"Ishq bahot kuch badal deta hai mere bhai aur aaj main 2 ghante Afsana ke ghar rahi hu. Ye tumse koyi alag he ishq kar baithi hai dhyaan rakhna."
"Matlab"?
"Isme aur Ritu me sie kisi ek ko ko chun na pade toh?"
"Kya vahiyaat sawaal hai. Saari duniya ek taraf aur Ritu ek taraf. Zindagi ka aakhiri saans bhi lu toh wo bas Ritu ke aagosh me. Aisa fir kabhi matt kehna."
"Maan liya. Preeti aur isme se?"
"Wo jaan hai meri. Aap hamesha mere sath ho Ritu ki tarah lekin sanvara toh mujhe aur Preeti ko aapne bhi hai. Ye sawaal jayaj nahi hai. Waise bhi maine abhi tak Afsana se baat nahi kari hai."
"Baat karna Arjun. Ye Ishq kuch khaas dikh raha hai aur agar bandishe todd gaya toh qayamat na ho jaye. Zubeida ki baat alag hai, wo tumhe pyaar karti hai aur uski koyi chahat nahi hai tumse. Afsana toh jaise ek paheli he hai, suljhane me he nahi aa rahi.", Alka ne baat khatam karte hue thande ki bottle, milk badaam aur thoda khaane peene ka saman car se nikala aur ghar ke andar chali aayi. Arjun sath he tha is pal me. Aaj wo pehli baar Alka ko khul kar nahi bata paya tha us asadharan shann ke baare me jo usko Afsana ko dekh kar hua tha. Ye romanch kahi kuch aur he na karwa de.
"yar Alka main toh thodi der araam karte hue tv dekhne lagi hu.", Aarti ab dheele vastro me thi aur Afsana ne pehli baar naqaab hataya tha is tarah gairo ki maujdgi me. Alka bhi un sunehari aankhon se sammohit si ho gai.
"Wow. Tum haseen ho yar. Ghar par bhi tumne naqaab liya hua tha din me."
"Waha hum mehfooj nahi the us waqt. Chacha ke sath unke bhi dost aaye hue the dopehri ke khaane par. Hume atcha nahi lagta koyi hume cheej samjhe aur paymaaish kare.", Afsana ki muskurahat toh sachmuch kamaal thi. kandhari anaar se surkh honth, wo nakkashidar chehra aur jism dhaka hua.
"yar tum na mera test le rahi ho. Mujhe tumse pyaar ho gaya toh please gaali matt dena.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Aarti bhi hans di. Arjun unke peeche se kamre me ja chuka tha apne.
"Myassar karna gar chehra dekh kar ho toh iltija hai, khwahishe ahduri aise he raha karti hai. Aapne sirf hamara chehra dekha aur ishq farmane ki hidayat kar di. Hum kabile-gor nahi hai chehre se niche.", Chhui-mui si Afsana aaj behtar bol rahi thi aur ye asar kuch Alka ka bhi tha. Alka thi he aisi jo kahi na kahi sabse tej yuvti thi is pariwar me.
"Dekho darling, abhi toh araam karne ka dil hai mera. Raat 11-12 tak tumhe jarur utha dungi apni neend poori karne ke baad.", Alka ne itna kaha aur wo Aarti ke kamre ki taraf badh chali. Arjun track pajama aur tshirt pehne ek bada cartoon samaan ka bhare darwaje se bahar nikal gaya. Aarti dekhti rahi aur waisi he najar Afsana ki thi. Arjun apni chachi ka bataya samaan car ki lambi dikki me sahi tarah se rakhne laga. Usne yahi thik samjha tha samay bachane ke hisab se.
"Yar agar tujhe bura na lage toh Arjun ke liye doodh garam kar dena. Main bas naha lu kyonki halki thakavat ho rahi hai phir araam se kamre me he baatein karenge.", Ab Aarti ke bhi hath khade ho gaye the. Savere 5 baje jaagne ke baad usne bhi araaam kaha kiya tha.
"Inhe doodh ki jarurat hogi toh hum dekh lenge. Waise Alka didi agar aapke bister par sone gayi hai toh hum kaha neend farmaye?"
"Agar dikkat na ho toh wahi aa jana mere kamre me. Priyanka didi ka bhi kamra khaali hai in case tumhe dikkat ho toh hum dono didi wale kamre me so jayenge.", Aarti bata he rahi thi aur Arjun wapis kamre ki aur chal diya. Wo jaise thaan chuka tha ki abhi sab samaan dikki me bhar dega.
"Let the kite go it's own way honey. Mushayre ke bahar toh humne sabhi shayar sharabi dekhe hai. Aap araam farmaye, hum Priyanka baaji ke kamre me he araam farma lenge.", Ab toh Aarti ka bhi maatha thanak gaya tha. Ye Arjun ka asar tha toh bhugatana usko he tha. Lekin wo kya he kehti is pyaari gudiya ko.
"Jaha dil kare waha mehfil laga lenge sanam tumhare sath.", Aarti ne bas itna he kaha aur khilkhilati hui Priyanka didi ke kamre wale bathroom me chali gayi. Alka bhi araam karne se pehle nahane he lagi thi aur Arjun apni chachi ka samaan gatte ke bakse me sahi se jama raha tha. Wo savere ke bharose kuch chhodne wala nahi tha aur waise bhi kal usko Jagtar bhai se dhero baatein karni thi.
"Aap jab kahiyega hum doodh garam kar denge.", Arjun inhi najro se bachne ke liye toh kaam me masroof tha lekin waah ri kismat. Pehle Afsana ke ghar se dur raha, phir usko bahar bhi niharne se bachta raha aur ghar me aate he wo samaan ke sath lag gaya. Afsana khud he chal uski taraf toh aane se rahi, yahi socha tha aur ye soch Afsana ne he badal di. Wo sunehari aankhein aur tambai baal uski najro ke saamne the. Jubaan jaise lakwa maar gayi aur aankhen sthirr. Afsana ki bhi dhadkan badhne lagi toh wo bina jawaab sune Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi. Darwaja band karke wo bister par baithi bas Arjun ke chehre ko yaad kar rahi thi. Har bar kyo dono he khamosh ho jaate hai ek dusre ko dekhne par?
"Oh madam ji, kaha khoyi ho? Waise sach kahu toh tumhe aaj pehli bar he din me dekha tha aur koyi itna khoobsurat bhi ho sakta hai iska andaja bilkul nahi tha.", Alka bathroom se bahar aayi toh bas ek ghutno tak ki dheeli nikkar aur jaangho tak lambai wali tshirt pehne thi. Andruni vastro ka abhaav nukile nipple saaf bata rahe the. Afsana ne bhi Alka ko dhyaan se dekha toh uski lambai, kamar se niche tak aate baal, badaami chehra aur sharir ke itne jabardast kataav se wo bhi prabhavit hue bina na reh saki. Uski badi behan bhi ek behtareen yuvti thi jiske sondarya ki paribhasha hajaro aankhen karti rahi lekin Alka bhi khaas thi.
"Aap hamari tareef kar he hai? Jo khud aafreen ho unke saamne toh hum kuch bhi nahi.", Jis tarah Afsana ke honth najakat se hilte the, Alka ko bada atcha lagta tha dekhna. Chehre par khushi aa gayi thi apne aap he.
"Aisi baat nahi hai Afsana. Jaisa suna thi ki tum naqaab ya burka pehne rehti ho hamesha toh mere dimaag me kuch aur he tasvir bann gayi thi. Aarti ne thoda bahot he bataya tha tumhare baare me aur kuch mujhe Priyanka didi ne bataya. Aaj tumhe saamne dekha toh wo sabhi khayaal gayab he ho gaye. Tum kisi Arab desh ki rajkumari si ho, bilkul gudiya si.", Alka goad me takiya liye bister par baith gayi. Ab Afsana ke chehre par halki laali aa chuki thi. Ye thode bahot badlaav usme kuch samay se aaye the aur Zubeidaa baaji ne he usko nikhara tha.
"Wo hum aaj bhi pehante hai baaji, aapne dopehari me dekha he tha. Bas jaha jaruri ho waha. Waise ammijaan hamari paidaish par Marrakesh-Safi thi, ye Morocco ka ek shehar hai aur hamare chashm (eyes) wahi ki saugaat hai.", Alka ne is jaankari par jaise he Afsana ka wo safed mom sa hath thama toh ek pal me he uske chehre par thodi bechaini si aa gayi.
"Yar ek toh main baaji-didi nahi hu, dost hu jaise Aarti hai. Aur tum khaas ho jo pehli najar me he pata lag jata hai. Itna darti kyu ho waise? Main ladki hu aur mere hath pakadne par tumhe ghabrahat nahi honi chahiye.", Alka ne ab apne dusra hath bhi Afsana ki hatheli ke upar rakh diya.
"Wo Zubeidaa baaji kehti hai ke is daur me kisi ka eitbaar nahi."
"Hahaha.. arre yar sachmuch tum masoom ho. Tumhari didi se aaj maine ek ghante se jyada baatein ki hai waha tumhare ghar. Unhe sabse jyada maja aata hai tumhe satane me aur tum unki kahi har baat ko sach maan leti ho. Wo bata rahi thi ki tum kitni majhab ki pakki ho aur college me hone ke bawjood abhi tak jyada duniya ki khabar nahi rakhti.", Alka ke aisa kehne par Afsana jhemp gayi lekin halki narajgi bhi thi mann me apni badi behan ke liye.
"Aur unhone aapse kya kaha hamare baare me?"
"Bata rahi thi ki tum kitni pyaari ladki ho. Lekin aaj ke jamane me tumhara yahi life-style pareshani paida kar sakta hai. Unhe iski tension rehti hai aur wo tumhe dhire dhire badalne ki koshish bhi kar rahi hai. Waise tum galat nahi ho Afsana bas ye life ghar ki char diwari se thodi bahar bhi hai. Suna hai pehle toh tum ghar se akeli bahar bhi nahi nikli yaha tak aane ke liye?", Ab Afsana ko jaise khud par he thodi sharmindgi hone lagi. Alka ka hath sehlana usko protsahit karne laga bolne ke liye.
"Hum khaufjada the aur abhi bhi hum akele bahar nahi nikalte. Ghar se bahar ek Aarti he hai jinke sath hamara kuch wajood hai."
"Darr? Agar chaho toh mujhse baat kar sakti ho aur baatein apne aap tak he rakhna jyada dukh deti hai. Darr insaan ko kamjor he banata hai dost. Haadse sabke sath hote hai, kisi ke sath chhote kisi ke sath bade lekin kya hum unhe yaad rakh kar ghutan me jinda rahe? Ye toh aur bhi dukhdayi hoga. Agar phir bhi tumhe lagta hai main galat keh rahi hu toh maaf kar dena. Mujhe shayad sahi andaja nahi hai ke tumne kya jhela hai."
"Humne kuch bhi nahi jhela hai. Bas kuch bure log ladkiyon ki asmat-aabru par he nigaah rakhte hai. Kya yahi insaaniyat hai bahar duniya me?", Afsana ke shabdo se he pata chalta tha ki wo kitni saral ladki hai aur uska darr har aadmi ke liye tha jo galat najar rakhta ho.
"Tum galat nahi keh rahi ho Afsana lekin har insaan bura nahi hota. Kuch chahat se dekhte hai aur kayi galat iraado se lekin kisi ki koyi majaal nahi jabtak ladki majboot rahe. Tumhe bas apni life aur khushiyan dekhni chahiye na ki aise log jo maayne nahi rakhte. Main bhi college jaati hu aur hum 7 behne hai waha ghar par. Dekhne wale dekhenge aur humko unse koyi matlab nahi. Waise tumne sirf aisa he dekha hai ya kuch bura bhi?", Ye Alka thi jo baal ki khaal nikal leti thi aur saamne wale ko pata bhi nahi chalta tha.
"Zubeidaa baaji ko ek baar kisi ne sataya tha. Hum school me the us waqt aur baaji college ke pehle saal me. Wo ladke galat iraade rakhte the aur baaji ne kabhi unhe najar bhi nahi kiya jaisa aap kehti hai. Phir bhi unhone unki asmat kharaab karni chahi, Narinder chacha ji na hote toh baaji ke sath kuch bhi ho sakta tha. Ab bataye ki agar baat is hadd tak chali jaaye toh kya hoga? Har baar toh koyi nek banda hifajat ke liye maujood nahi ho sakta."
"Toh humko he hifajat karni chahiye apni. Waise tumhare liye toh main bhi ek pal behak sakti hu.", Alka ne jo jaankari leni thi wo lene ke baad ab mahol badalne ki ye masti bhari baat keh di. Ek pal ke liye Afsana ka chehra he safed ho gaya.
"Tauba. Baaji sahi kehti hai ke jamane ke sath bahot kuch badal raha hai. Aap aise vichar rakhti hai hamare baare me?"
"Hahaha.. Kisi din tumhe pyaar ho gaya na sahi ladke se toh pakka tum uski baahon me he saans todd dogi. Yar ladki ho kar ek ladki se ghabra rahi ho tum. Hahaha.. majaak kar rahi hu aur dost masti bhi nahi karte kya aapas me?", Ab Afsana ke chehre par thodi sharam aur wahi gulabi rangat aa chuki thi.
"Hum ishq me yakeen nahi karte aur aisi baatein atchi nahi lagti.", Abhi wo aage kuch kehti us se pehle he darwaje par dastak hui. Alka khadi hone lagi toh Afsana ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Aapke bhai bhi ho sakte hai aur jaha tak hume lag raha hai aapne andruni kapde nahi pehne hai seene par. Ye chaadar le lijiye, hum kholte hai darwaja.", Alka ki hansi chhoot gayi itna sunn kar. Phir khud ko shaant karti hui wo Afsana ki baat samajh gayi. Sahi keh rahi thi kyonki Arjun ke sath Alka ke khaas rishtey ka usko pata bhi nahi hona chahiye.
"Shehjadi sahiba, doodh ubal kar bahar nikal gaya. Atchi baat hai ki samay rehte maine dekh liya nahi toh ho gaya tha aaj kaam.", Ye Aarti thi aur thik Alka jaise kapdo me bas abhi seene par bra pehni hui thi tshirt ke andar.
"Oh maaf karna, hum baaton me masroof ho gaye the Alka baaji ke sath. Aapne doodh de diya apne bhai ko?"
"Ubalta hua he de du kya? Waise darwaja band kyu tha yaha?", Aarti ko ab wo kaise batati ki Arjun ne bechain kar diya tha aur khud ko shaant karne wo is kamre me chali aayi thi.
"Aap baithiye idhar, hum bhi kapde badal kar aa jaate hai Priyanka baaji ke kamre se.", Aarti andar jaane ki jagah hansti hui Arjun ki taraf chal di aur Afsana ne Priyanka didi ke kamre ke andar jaate he darwaja band kar liya.
"Haan toh abhi tak kaam khatam nahi hua tumhara?", Arjun ab ye paanchva baksa bhar raha tha. Aarti ke andar aate he darwaja lagane par uska dhyaan taja nahai hui apni behan par gaya toh ek kashish se wo dekhta he raha.
"Iraade nek nahi hai lekin aaj kismat me shayad pyaar karna bhi nahi likha.", Arjun wapis kapdo ko attachi me aur kitabo ko bakse me bharne laga. Aarti dabe paanv uski taraf aati peeche se lipat gayi. Naram ubharo ka wo sparsh aur aise unka lipatna bata raha tha ki chahat Aarti ki bhi wahi hai.
"Raat ko Alka ke pas chale jana."
"Main yahi sone wala Aarti aur jab bhi aane ka dil ho toh yahi aa jana, savdhani se.", Arjun ne palat kar Aarti ko apni baahon me samet liya. Geele hontho par ek minute tak Arjun ke hontho ne bharpoor pyar jataya. Phir araam se dono he dur ho gaye.
"Mere aur didi ke kapde bhi maine bag me rakh liye hai. Jagah hogi itni car me?"
"Car ki dikki abhi bhi aadhi khali hai aur kuch samaan main andar bhi rakh lunga. 10 bajne wale hai toh ab aapko araam karna chahiye.", Arjun bhi jaanta tha ki Aarti aaj raat uske sath rehna chahti thi. Lekin Afsana ke aane ka bhi Arjun ko bura nahi laga tha. Agle 10 minute me wo dono bag aur bakse liye bahar chal diya. Hall paar karte he saamna Bholi begam se hua.
"Aaj raat main yahi sone wali hu. Aarti kaha hai?", Arjun chaah kar bhi sar pe hath na rakh saka. Bas iski he kami thi.
"Andar apne kamre me, tumhara he intjaar kar rahi hai wo.", Gurdeep ke maje lete hue Arjun ne usko andar jaane ko kaha aur hansta hu car ki taraf chal diya. Ye sab samaan aa chuka tha aur ab bas Aarti-Priyanka ke bag laa kar rakhne the. Dikki band karke wo wapis andar chala aaya toh Aarti ke kamre se aati awaajon ne bata diya tha ki Radio chalu ho chuka hai. Priyanka didi ke kamre ka band darwaja dhakelte hue wo andar aaya toh zero ki maddim roshni thi abhi.
'Ye kari hai packing inhone. Chain tak band nahi ki.', Arjun bedhyaani me bas in upar tak bhare bag ko band karne me laga tha aur bathroom ka darwaja khulne ki awaaj jaise sunaai he na padi. Afsana bhi wo bada toliya lapete apni he dhunn me bed tak chali aayi jaha uski poori aasteen ki tshirt aur pajama rakha tha, raat ko pehan ne ke liye. Ab toliya utaar kar bister par rakha toh saansein atak gayi. Bed ke dusri taraf bag me kapde dabata Arjun bhi sunn pad chuka tha neeli roshni me is jaanleva manjar ko dekhte he. Ujle rang ki poore cup wali naram bra aur waisi he rangat ki panty me uske saamne Afsana ka hahakari youvan tha. Afsana hosh me aati us se pehle he Arjun badi teji se kamre bahar nikal gaya. Spring wala darwaja wapis band ho gaya tha.
Afsana ki aankhon me paani aa chuka tha hosh me aate he. Jaise taise kapde pehan kar wo kuch der wahi bister par baithi rahi. Antarman maan he nahi raha tha ke aisa bhi kuch hua hai. Arjun ki aankhein us pal me bhi Afsana ka chehra he dekh rahi thi. Ye yaad aate he Afsana ko halka araam hua lekin dil yahi keh raha tha ke Arjun kya soch raha hoga uski is besharmi par aur ab wo kaise uska saamna karegi. Is haalat me toh aajtak Aarti ne bhi kabhi usko nahi dekha tha. Bujhe mann se wo ek baar aur apna chehra saaf karke Alka-Aarti ke kamre me chali aayi.
Gurdeep toh aadat anusaar patar patar kari ja rahi thi aur Alka ko bhi uski baatein sunn ne me maja aa raha tha. Uski bholi baatein, punjabi kisse aur chehre ke manmohak bhaav kisko pasand na aate. Gurdeep bebaki se Alka ki bagal me aa leti toh Aarti bhi khadi ho gayi.
"11 baj chuke hai madam, ab sona chahiye. Savere 6 baje tak uth gaye toh bhi atcha hai.", Yaha bhi Afsana khamosh he thi aur itne shor me kisi ka bhi dhyaan nahi gaya tha us par.
"Haan yar lekin main toh Alka ke pas soungi. Tu apni gulabo ke sath so, waise bhi wo har waqt sharmati rehti hai.", Gurdeep ki baat par Aarti bhi hansti hui dono ko be bol kar dusre kamre me chali aayi Afsana ke sath.
"Tum leit jao, main jara bahar darwaja dekh aati hu.", Aarti ke kehne par Afsana bister ke dusri taraf khamoshi se karwat ke bal leti gayi. Aankhen khuli thi aur mann vichlit. Ye tabtak shaant nahi hone wala tha jabtak wo Arjun se baat nahi kar leti.Afsana ke liye uski ijjat he jaise zindagi thi aur usko katai ye kabool na tha ke Arjun ke mann me uski koyi galat chhavi bane. Udhar Aarti ne bahar wale darwaje par andar se tala laga paya toh wo hall ke darwaje ko bhi chitakni lagati hui apne kamre me aa gayi. Ghar ki jyadatar roshni ab band ho chuki thi, bas zero ke bulb jagmag the.
"So gayi Afsa? Sorry yar, thakaan ki wajah se mujhe bhi neend aa rahi hai aur tere sath time nahi bita saki.", Cooler ki jyada awaaj na thi jis se Afsana ko sunai na diya ho lekin wo khamosh he rahi aur Aarti ne bhi patli chaadar apne upar audh li. 10 minute se pehle he wo gehri neend me ja chuki thi. Yahi haal barabar wale kamre ka tha jaha Alka Gurdeep ke sath bade araam se so rahi thi. Gaanv se shehar ka lamba safar, fir yaha tak ka safar aur shaam ko atchi bhaag-daud ke baad ab jara bhi himmat na bachi thi in dono me. Sadhe 11 ka waqt ho chala toh Afsana bade ehtiyaat se uth khadi hui. Rasoi me abhi tak doodh ka patila chulhe par tha aur jayaj garam bhi. Ek gilas nivaye doodh ka liye wo dhadakte dil aur kaampte kadmo se Arjun ke kamre tak chali aayi. Neend Arjun ki aankhon se bhi koso dur thi aur is sannatte me lamp ki roshni tale wo jaane kya padhne me vyast tha.
"Aapko doodh dena bhool gaye the.", Itna bhi jaane wo kitni himmat se keh paayi aur Arjun ne ek pal ke liye Afsana ko dekha aur hatho se gilas le kar wahi table par rakhte hue kaha.
"Sorry Afsana, mujhe bilkul bhi nahi pata tha ki udhar aap hongi. Main aapke liye koyi galat khayal nahi rakhta aur wo sab anjaane me ho gaya.", Afsana itna sunn kar jaise baraf si thandi padd gai. Pichle dedh ghante se wo bas yahi soch rahi thi ki usne ek bahot badi galti kar di hai jiska anjaam jaane kya hoga lekin yaha saamne se Arjun maafi maang raha tha. Afsana ko yu khamosh dekh Arjun ne pehli bar usko hath lagaya. Nivaye doodh ko pakadne se wo mom se mulayam hath bhi halke garam the.
"Dekhiye main jaanta hu ke aapko kitna bura lag raha hoga lekin sachmuch jo hua wo anjaane me hua. Aapko dukhi karne ka paap main bhool kar bhi nahi kar sakta lekin agar phir bhi aapko lagta hai wo sab maine jaanboojh kar kiya hai toh saja de sakti hai. Aainda main apna chehra bhi saamne nahi launga.", Arjun ne itna kehte hue hath chhoda toh Afsana ko laga jaise uski rooh he jism se juda ho gayi. Kis sammohan me thi wo ye khabar na thi lekin aaj wo Arjun se bhaagna nahi chahti thi.
"Aapki najro me humne kabhi galat iraade nahi dekhe Arjun. Hum yaha aapse maafi maangne aaye the jo hua uske liye. Hum behaya nahi hai jo andruni kapdo me jism-numaish kare. Ilm hota ki aap waha hai toh hum bahar he na nikalte.", Dheemi awaaj me apna dard bayaan karti Afsana ki sunehari aankhon se bhi dard chhalakne laga. Uski masoomiyat aur saafdili dekh Arjun ko ab jyada he bura lag raha tha. Aankhon me wo aansu jab dil ko dard dene lage toh Arjun ne khade ho kar Afsana ko seene se laga liya. Ye harkat wo kabhi nahi kar sakta tha aur Afsana bhi kabhi aisa kadam nahi leti. Lekin ye pal jaise apvaad tha dono ke liye. Afsana ke chehre ko apne seene se lagaaye wo bade pyar se uska sar thaame khada raha.
"Aap galat nahi ho sakti Afsana aur sach kahu toh main kabhi aapko thes nahi pahuchana chahta. Ye kismat kya khel khel rahi hai mujhe bilkul nahi pata. Main dur rehna chahta hu aapse kyonki jaanta hu aap ek behad shaleen aur saaf-dil masoom yuvti hai. Jo hua hai usko main thik toh nahi kar sakta lekin aapke aansu mujhe gunehgar bata rahe hai.", Arjun ke wo pakad bhi jaise jaanti thi ki aagosh me ek khaas yuvti hai. Bahupash ke jagah ye pakad sirf pyaar bhari thi. Afsana ke hath bhi Arjun ki peeth par the aur wo ab kuch sukoon me thi.
"Aap gunehgar ho bhi nahi sakte Arjun aur hume aapke didar se pareshani nahi hai. Bas darr hai ke aap hamare baare me galat khayaal na bana baithe.", Afsana ke dono hath ab Arjun ki bagal me the aur chehra seene par ek taraf rakhe wo niche dekh rahi thi. Arjun bhi ek sukoon se bhar chuka tha Afsana ko apne seene se lagaye. Jab aage koyi aur baat na hui toh Afsana ko dono ki haalat ka bhaan hua. Wo aaj pehli baar kisi gair ke gale lagi thi, wo bhi ek purush ke. Sharir halka kasamasaya toh Arjun ne he kadam peeche hata liye.
"Sorry. Aapki aankhon me aansu dekh kar pata nahi chala."
"Shukriya. Aur hume bura nahi laga.", Afsana ne najre jhukaye ye chhota sa jawaab diya aur jaane ke liye abhi mudi he thi ki Arjun ki baat sunn kar halchal mach gayi.
"Waise aap saafdil hone ke sath he hadd se jyada khoobsurat hai. Naqaab me raha kijiye, dekhne wale ki nazar bhi aisi khoobsurti ko maila kar sakti hai.", Arjun abhi bhi khada he tha aur Afsana ke palatne par phir se wo unhi aankhon ko dekhne laga jo itni der se jhuki hui thi.
"Aapke dekhne se hum maile nahi honge aur ab hume aapke saamne naqaab rakhne ki jarurat bhi nahi lagti. Neend farmaye, hum bhi jaate hai.", Is baar jaane se pehle Afsana ne jis taraf hath se salaam karte hue Arjun ko dekha tha wo gehra asar kar gaya. Afsana khud he uska darwaja band karti hui chali gai.
'Ab nahi aata kabhi punjab. Jis se bachna tha wahi raat ko saamne aa gai. Bhagwaan isko mat pyaar hone dena mujh jaise insaan se.', Arjun khud se itna bolta hua takiya dabaye bister par leit gaya. Ab bechaini nahi thi aur aankhen jald he band ho gayi. Raat ke kisi pehar wo mansal badan Arjun se lipta toh dheemi raftar se ek lamba sansarg shuru ho gaya is band kamre me.
.
.
"Ye sandook khol yar Gajju.", Gaanv ke is band pade ghar me bahar jitni khamoshi thi us se jyada chehal pehal is band kamre me thi. Torch ki roshni me Umed, Daleep ke sath Narinder har cheej ko bade dhyaan se jaanch raha tha. Yaha unhe kuch jaankari toh mili thi lekin wo utni bhi khaas nahi thi. Kone me rakha wo lohe ka bada sandook dekhna baaki tha. Umed ne pechkas se bina tala khole he sandook ka kabja nikal diya.
"Sala ye Karam Singh akela he rehta tha kya? Na biwi na bache aur baaki dono kamre toh aise khaali the jaise unki jarurat he na padi ho kabi. Chal tu dekh andar kya hai, main roshni deta hu.", Sandook ke dhakkan ko pakde Umed torch se roshni dikhane laga aur Narinder ne wo rajaai nikal kar ek taraf rakh di. Yaha ab bahot kuch tha us rajaai ko hatane ke baad. 2 purani album, kuch khatt, shwet-shyaam tasvire aur kuch asla jo purana tha.
"Bandook aur khanjar par hath mat lagana. Dekh hathhi par plastic bandha hua hai.", Umed ne jaise he chetaya toh Narinder ne rumaal se dono he cheej pakad kar charpai par rakh di. Ek lakdi ka baksa bhi tha jispar chhota sa tala laga tha. Aise bakse jyadar suhagane ya yuvtiya purane samay me saaj-sajja ka samaan rakhne ke liye prayog karti thi.
"Ye bahot he purana baksa hai be Gajju. Aisa ek tere bhi ghar tha aur meri maa ke pas bhi. Tala laga hai toh matlab ye kaam ki cheej hai."
"Haan toh nikal le na. Chal kar araam se dekhenge kaunsi sone ki bindi aur chaandi ki libstick hai isme. Wo tabeej bhi utha jo is kagaj ke niche hai."
"Ye kagaj nahi photo hai aur ye toh dhibri (mori) wala sikka hai dhaage me bandha.", Inder ne wo dono cheej uthane ke baad tabeej jeb me aur tasvir charpayi par rakh di. Itne me he Daleep ki awaaj par dhyaan gaya.
"Idhar dekho bhai kya mila. Ye is photo ke peeche tha aur bhi kaagaj hai is folder me.", Diwar par tangi us haar chadhi purani tasvir ke peeche se Daleep ko ek bada packet aur ye tasvir mili thi jisme 8 jawaan aadmi the. Ek ke chehre par gol ghera banaya gaya tha. Narinder sab kaam chhod kar us tasvir ko dekhne laga.
"Behanchod ye kya bawaal hai be Gajju? Dekhiyo jara ye papa aur Raghubir chacha he hai na?", Safed patloon aur kaali kameej he dikh rahi thi un dono ke sharir par, tasvir ke shwet-shyaam hone ki wajah se. Lekin un chehro ko pehchan pana mushkil tha kyonki sabhi 15 se 23-24 saal ke beech ke the.
"Haan be ye toh papa he hai aur ye Sombir tauji hai. Baaki kisi ko toh main nahi pehchanta. Lekin is ladke ke upar gola kyu mara hai jiske kandhe par chacha ka hath hai?"
"Photo daal bhai Daleep wapis packet me. Ye bahot kaam ki cheej hai aur iska yaha hona apne aap me hairani wali baat hai. 50 saal purani photo wo bhi is ghar me."
"Ye sab main jhole me daalta hu, Daleep bhai sandook ka kabja wapis daba do aur nikate hai yaha se.", Umed ke kehne ke sath he agle 5 minute me poora kamra pehle ki tarah vyavasthit ho chuka tha. 2 thaile samaan liye wo teeno he badi kushalta se is purane ghar se bahar nikal gaye. Dur kahi kutto ke rone ki awaaj ke siwa bas inke kadmo ki halki aahat he the is gehri raat me. Aage sunsaan kheto ke beech pagdandi se raste par chalte hue wo 10 minute baad sadak par pahuch gaye.
"Rajesh, kya raha?"
"Kya raha? Ye dekho sala meri car pe driver side ki taraf se ek aadmi goli maar kar gayab ho gaya aur tumhe awaaj tak sunai na di. Chakkar kya hai ye sab.? Pehle toh mujhe bhi samajh nahi aaya tha ke tum wo dummy sath kyu laaye lekin dekho uska bheja udaa diya kambakhto ne aur mujhe mauka bhi nahi mila unhe pakadne ka.", Rajesh ki halat dekh Narinder hans raha tha.
"Saale tum ho sahi nautanki. Kaha hai wo aadmi?", Ab is sawaal par Rajesh muskura diya.
"Dikki me hai harami. Batao goli chalane aaya tha toh chala ke bhaag jaye. Lekin nahi pehle darwaja khatkhatayenge, fir baat bhi karni hai. Kanpati pe ek hath pada toh moot nikal gaya lulli se uski. Baandh ke daal liya dikki me saale ko aur uski fatfati udhar fenk di jhaadiyon me. Chalo ab nikalte hai."
"Goli sachmuch chali thi kya?", Daleep ne chinta se kaha.
"Pagla gaye ho kya Daleep bhai. Ye car meri dilruba hai aur agar wo goli chalata toh maine gaand kaat deta uski. Ab is dummi ko bhi fenkna padega.", Car ki agli seat par plastic ka aadamkad murat bithaya hua tha inhone, kameej pehna kar.
"Abe fenkna matt, apne Daleep bhai ke kaam aayega. Dekh kaise motte chuche hai iske aur laane wale bhi Rajesh tum kamaal hai. Aadmi ka statue mangwaya lekin nahi londiya he pasand hai. Daleep bhai isme chhed kar lena, bhabhi toh ab naraaj hai lekin ye hamesha sath rahegi bina kuch kahe.", Narinder ne wo moorat pichli seat par beech me rakhi toh Daleep sachmuch uske seene par hath firane laga.
"Yaha pe thoda rubber lagwa do bhai toh main kaam chala lunga..", Daleep ki is baat par baaki teeno bhi thahaka laga gaye.
"Hahaha.. mast aadmi ho yar aap. Waise idea bura bhi nahi hai lekin isko aise he rakho main jab America jaunga toh aapke liye chudai wali gudiya leta aaunga. Uske gubbare daba daba kar pelna saali ko.", Rajesh ne car chalu karte hue kaha aur ye hanste hue baaton ke sath jaankari bhi sanjha karne lage. Andhere me gaadi wapis chal padi.
"Gaushala he chalte hai yar.", Narinder ki baat sunn kar Daleep ne naa me sar hila diya.
"Waha is waqt araam nahi kar sakte Inder aur neend liye bina mujhe chain nahi aata. Hotel he sahi rahega."
"Haan, hotel he chalte hai Daleep bhai. Roshni bhi hogi aur sakoon se sara kaam bhi kar lenge.", Rajesh ne bhi apna dimaag dikha diya jiski jarurat nahi thi.
"Oh kaath ke ullu, jo murga dikki main hai usko bhi hotel me rakhega kya?",Ye Umed na kaha toh ab kisi ne koyi sawaal na kiya. Car poori raftaar se gaushala ki aur badhne lagi. Aaj ek bahot badi sendh lagai thi in logo ne aur uske parniaam kya hone waale hai ye toh din nikalne par he pata chalna tha.

Gurdeep ki motti tarbooj si gaand Arjun se buri tarah chipki thi aur peeche se uska ek sudol stann dabate hue Arjun bhi kahi gehre lekin dheeme dhakko se uski tight choot ko apne lund ka abhyast kar raha tha. Paune 4 baje Gurdeep chupke se idhar chali aayi thi aur pichle aadhe ghante me khamosi se chalti ye chudaai ab apne charam par aane wali thi. 3 baar apna kaamras nikalne ke bawjood Gurdeep uska bharpoor sath de rahi thi. Lund se pach-pach ki ye halki awaaj dono ka he maja bakhaan karti rahi.
"ummm.. bas karo aahhh.. din me kiya tha tab bathroom jaane me bhi taklif ho rahi thi.. ufff.. ab toh lagta hai wo bhi mushkil hone wala hai.", Arjun uske maadak awaajo se aur tej dhakke lagane laga.
"Dhyaan rakhna tha na.. hhhhuuuuhh.. ab hone he wala hai.. bas..aahh.. sachmuch tumhara josh ummeed se jyada hai.."
"Ishhh... ho gayi main..aahh.. marr jaungi agar itni baar ye royegi toh.. aahhh... "
"Huhhhhh... lo..", Arjun ne lund choot se nikal kar gaand ke chhed par daba dia. Wo kora chhed naam-maatra he khula tha lekin poora lava usme bharne ke baad he Arjun alag hua.
"Chhhiii.. kar di na manmani.. aahh.. waha nahi lungi tumhara.. aahhh maa..", Dhimi awaaj karti wo bathroom chali gayi aur Arjun uske peeche.
"Ab aur nahi karna.", Nirvastra Gurdeep ke chehre par aseem khushi thi aur uski naa bhi jaisi saaf jhooth. Kharbuje se gol aur motti chuchiya laal padd chuki thi wahi gudadwaar se nikal kar moti sudol jaangho par behta Arjun ka veerya usko aur kaamuk dikha raha tha.
"Main nahane aaya hu darling kyonki sava 4 baj chuke hai. Saaf karo khud ko aur jaldi se wahi chali jao jaha se aayi thi.", Gurdeep ne samay ko gambhirta se liya aur apne sharir par paani udelti saaf karne lagi. Baal bheegne nahi diye aur poore 5 minute me he wo toliya lapete kamre me chali gayi. Arjun nityakriya se farig hone ke baad naha kar bahar aaya toh bister ab saaf tha. Toliya utha kar sharir sukhate hue wo kuch soch he raha tha ki alarm ki bahot halki awaaj sunai padi. Diwar ghadi bhi 5 baja rahi thi lekin itni jaldi kaun uthne laga tha? Arjun ki soch alarm ki awaaj band hone ke sath he khatam ho gayi.
Kapde pehan kar wo atche se tayaar hua aur seedha rasoi me chala aaya. Kisi ko jagane ka koyi irada na tha isliye khud he doodh garam karte hue hall ki light bhi jala di. Alka-Gurdeep jis kamre me thi uska darwaja khula tha aur dono he gehri neend me thi.
'Matlab Aarti ne alarm lagaya tha? Unhe kya jarurat hai itni jaldi uthne ki?', Arjun apne he khayalo me tha aur doodh ubal gaya.
'Ho gaya jyada garam.', Idhar udhar dekhne par jab kuch samajh nahi aaya toh kapde se he patila pakad kar hilate hue doodh thanda karne laga.
"Aap rehne dijiye, main kar deti hu.", Is khanakti awaaj ko sunn kar Arjun palta toh salwar-kameej pehne aur dupatte se seene ke sath sar ko dhake Afsana khadi thi. Nahane ke baad taja gulab si khili Afsana ka ye roop bhi jaanleva tha. Arjun ektak bas usko he dekhta raha.
"Khuli aankhon se khwaab dekhna galat nahi lekin hath me garam patili ke sath dekhna galat hai. Laaiye, hum karte hai aur aap baithak me jaaye.", Is baar Afsana ne ek taraf se kapde par hath rakha toh dono ki ungliya ek dusre ko chhuu gayi. Arjun ne aahista se patila Afsana ke hawale kiya lekin kareeb he khada raha. Saamne ki taraf bani chhoti si almari se Afsana ne jug nikal kar doodh ko faintna shuru kiya toh Arjun ko samajh aaya ki bartan kaha rakhe hote.
"Aapko kasht nahi dena chahta tha aur mujhe in drawers ka bhi pata nahi tha ki bartan yaha honge."
"Aap itni savere uth jaate hai iska ilm nahi tha. Hum pehle he kar dete agar khabar hoti. Saath me kya lenge?", Un gori kalaiyon me khoya Arjun ab kya jawaab deta. Thodi bahot bhi kalai dikh rahi thi toh wo bas isliye ki Afsana ko hatho ko hilana padd raha tha. Uske sabhi paridhan poori aasteen wale he dekhe the Arjun ne. Itne kareeb se wo geele baalo se aati sugandh bhi mahua ka asar karne lagi toh Arjun ne khud ko sambhala. Afsana ne sharmate hue doodh ka gilas Arjun ko thamaya aur bahar jaane lagi. Arjun ko toh ye pata he na chala tha kab doodh gilas me daal diya Afsana ne.
"Rukiye. Main bhi bahar he jaane wala hu toh aapko drop kar dunga."
"Hum khaali hath jaayenge kya? Motor chalane jaa rahe hai jis se paani ki kami na ho.", Arjun is jawaab se khud he jhemp gaya. Afsana kal raat jab aayi thi toh ek bag liye thi aur abhi bhi usne saaf kapde pehne the aur Aarti ke kapde Afsana ke aane wale nahi the. Muskurata hua wo doodh ki ghoont bharne laga. 10 minute baad he Afsana ek baar fir uske saamne thi, hath me bag liye.
"Arjun, tum itni subah kaha ja rahe ho?", Aarti bhi unindi si kamre se bahar chali aayi toh Arjun ko tayaar dekh pooch liya.
"Wo mujhe Jagtar bhaiya se kaam hai toh unhone sadhe 5 baje bola tha aane ke liye. Ghante bhar tak wapis aa jaunga. Nashte ke liye kuch lana hai?", Arjun ki nashte wali baat par Afsana ne ghoor kar Aarti ko dekha jo ab muskura rahi thi.
"Haan, chhole poodi le aana 3 plate. Gurughar ke pas he dukaan hai jo 6 baje he sab banane lagte hai."
"Aapko maloom hain na Aarti ammi ne khaas kaha tha ke aaj naasta hamare yaha hai aapka? 8 baje matlab 8 baje. Aur aap hume hamare ghar tak chhod sakte hai?", Afsana ke gusse ko dekh Aarti aur Arjun bas muskura rahe the.
"Chhodega kyu nahi. Tum kaho toh Arjun goad me le jayega. Hahahaha..", Ab Afsana ka gussa kafoor ho chuka tha aur chehre par sharam chha gayi.
"Chaliye main aapko ghar ke saamne utaar dunga. Aarti didi waise he majaak kar rahi thi.", Arjun ne bag lena chaha toh Afsana ne naa me gardan hilate hue usko apne sath laga liya.
"Aap chaliye hum aate hai.", Arjun car ki chaabi liye bahar chal diya.
"Aap jaanti hai na Aarti aisa majak nahi karna chahiye? Aapke bhai ke saamne he ye behuda baat karni thi?"
"Rehne de meri bholi gudiya, sab jaanti hu main. Tere gaal aise he gulabi nahi hue the aur abhi tu nikal, naaste par teri aisi khinchai karungi yaad rakhegi.", Aarti ke kathan me alag he josh tha aur sakuchati si Afsana uska hath pakde bahar chal di.
"Aap ye maskhari ammi ke saamne matt kariyega. Waise pehli baar hum aise jaa rahe hai, kuch galat toh nahi hain na?"
"Oh meri maa, ye mera bhai hai aur aunty ji isko jaanti hai bachpan se. Is mohalle me tujhe shayad he koyi jaanta ho jo tu itni parwah karti hai."
"Humko sabhi jaante hai ke hum Afsana Hussain hai.",Afsana ke bholepan par Aarti ko hansi aa gayi.
"Tere naam ko aur tere burke ko jaante honge lekin ye jo pari jaisi sundar ladki hai na isko yaha kisi ne nahi dekha. Ja wo tera intjaar kar raha hai. Mere bhai se thoda dur rehna, keh deti hu.", Aarti jaldi se darwaja band karti hui andar bhaag aayi.
"Aapko maar ki jarurat hai thodi.", Hansti hui Afsana ke motiyon se daant aur surkh gulabi adharo ko dekhta Arjun fir se dhyaan bhatakne laga. Darwaja band hone ki awaaj par usko hosh aaya lekin Afsana pichli seat par ja baithi thi.
"Driver wali feeling le rahi hai aap toh.", Arjun ne ye baat shishe me dekhte hue kahi aur Afsana ne dupatte ka ek seera chehre par kar liya.
"Hum aapki tauheen nahi kar rahe hai lekin sath baithna sawaal bann sakta hai. Aapko bura laga toh hum utar sakte hai.."
"Hahaha.. Matlab aap hain kya? Aisi chhoti chhoti baaton se bhala bura kisko lagta hai. Main apni didi aur maa ko bhi pichli seat par baitha kar he gaadi chalata hu. Aur atcha hai ki aap pichli seat par hai, nahi toh gaadi chalate hue dhyaan bhatakna khatarnaak ho sakta hai."
"Bas kijiye ab. Dekh abhi bhi aap idhar he rahe hai aur aisa karna galat hai.", Arjun ne ye baat turant maan li aur khamoshi se sadak par dhyaan dene laga. Shaant mahol aur park me sair karte hue gine chune log. Lekin ab Afsana ko ye khamoshi khatak rahi thi. Wo aaine me lagatar dekh rahi thi jaise Arjun se ab najar milegi. Ghar ke saamne car rukte he wo hosh me aayi. Bina kuch kahe wo seedha gate kholti hui andar chali gayi. Arjun ne bhi car ko Jagtar bhai ke ghar ke pas wale park ki taraf ghuma liya. Aaj bahot kuch jaankari leni thi unse gaanv aur waha ke logo ke baare me.
