Update 214
Khatta-Meetha (1)
Us khoobusurta subah aur haseen saamipya ka antt darwaje par hone wali nirantar chhoti dasatak se hua. Bade bister par Alka besudh si Ritu ki kamar par hath rakhe jass ki tass soyi padi thi aur thik wahi haal Ritu ka tha jo ekmatra vastra, safed paridhan jo kayi jagah se ast vyast tha usme aadhi adhuri lipti Arjun ke jism par chaadar si chadhi thi. Alka ko soye ek ghante se jyada hone ko aaya tha aur Ritu takriban 10 minute pehle. Arjun ne badi he ehtiyaat se khud ko Ritu ke niche se nikala jaha bahot pareshani ke sath wo swayam bhi jaise is se dur hona nahi chahta tha.
'Dada ji ka phone hai Aaru aur naani ji nahane ke baad pooja kar rahi hai bahar. Idhar main dekh lungi, tum jao.", Arjun bojhil aankhon se apne saamne khadi masoom se Aarti ko dekh kuch pal thithaka raha jaha Aarti ab sharamsaar ho rahi thi, jaane kis wajah se. Sookhe hontho se he Aarti ke gaal choom kar jaise he Arjun ghooma toh sar pe chapat lagate hue turant bister se niche giri apni nikkar ko utha kar apne ang ko qaid kiya jo abhi bhi sakht tha.
'Ye dada ji aur inka time.', Upar seena bhi tshirt se dhakta hua wo mooh hath dho kar hall ki taraf chal diya. Raat jaise kaafi mehnat bhari gujri thi uski aur adhikaansh mehnat sirf Rekha ke pehlu me hui.
"Hello. Good morning bau ji.", Unindi awaaj saamne wale ne bhi bhali bhaanti suni thi jo Rameshwar ji ki jagah Kaushalya ji thi.
"Mera bailbuddhi aaj 6 baje tak neend me kaise?"
"Oh aap ho, meri pyaari daadi. Pehle gaanv me he itni jaldi uthna pada tha daadi, fir stadium wala kaam aur fir ghar aur shehar ke. Uske baad idhar aaya toh safar he itna thakaane wala tha. Raat Aarti didi ke sath deri tak film dekhi fir maa ke pas baitha jinhe neend nahi aa rahi thi aur is sabme he 2 dhaai baj gaye. Aap batao daadi, meri neend toh naha kar poori ho jaayegi.", Arjun ab bhi thodi susti maan raha tha aur Aarti uske saamne thande paani ka gilaas rakh gayi be-awaaj khilkhilati hui.
"Tu toh bina naukri afsar lag gaya beta jo itni jimmewariyan sambhal raha ek sath. Tere bauji bol rahe the ki tu toh ab wapis bhi jaane wala hoga par maine kaha tha ki iski naani aur behne aise toh na jaane dengi bina nashta karwaye. Aur bacha bhi toh sukoon chahta hoga. Haan maine toh abhi isliye phone kiya tha ki tere Umed chacha ka abhi abhi phone aaya tha. Arjun ab thoda dhyaan se sunn jo main keh rahi hu. Aaj toh chal nashte ke baad he niklega par phir mere bhi dhyaan rahe na rahe isliye abhi batana thik samjha."
"Aap bolo daadi, neend me nahi hu main. Aur chacha kya keh rahe the?"
"Haan tabhi toh phone kiya. Aaj Madhuri bhi wapis aane wali hai aur kal teri taai bhi uske sasural milne aayegi toh jab Lalita khud tujhe waha se phone kare tabhi tum Abhishek ke ghar jana jaisa tu chahta tha. Aur dusri baat hai Umed ki. Uska ye business wala dost hai Abhishek ke pados me Naresh, Naresh Kapoor. Uski bitiya ka rishta jama hai jaankar pariwar me he aur udhar bhi Umed ka atcha vyavahaar hai. Beta wo hamari taraf bhi byaah me aaye the aur ab unhone Umed ko bhi nyota bheja hai. Tu jab kal jaayega teri behan ke ghar toh jara jaankari le liyo aur parso fir tujhe he waha Umed ke sthaan par jana hai. Badhiya sa tohfa lena matt bhoolna.", Ab uski daadi ko kaha pata tha ki jidhar jaane ke liye wo Arjun ko samjha rahi hai waha toh wo pehle se aamantrit hai par Arjun ab is nyote se behtar mehsoos kar raha tha kyonki ab wo Umed Singh ki jagah jaane wala tha.
"Sab pata kar lunga main bade jija aur Shilpa didi se. Waise ab tau ji ki tabiyat kaisi hai?"
"Thik hai ab par bukhar aa ja raha hai isliye soch rahi thi ki Lalita ke sath kisko bheju."
"Papa se kehna ki wo taai ji ko express bus par baitha de, udhar se main unhe le lunga daadi. Tau ji ki tabiyat thik nahi hai toh unhe araam karne de baaki kaam toh sabhi didi dekh he lengi.", Abhi Arjun ki baat par haami bharne ke baad Kaushalya ji kuch aage kehti ki phone Rameshwar ji ne le liya.
"Khoteya, tenu es time tak wapas jana c. Ab dhyaan se sunn meri baat jiske liye teri daadi ko phone milane ke liye maine kaha tha. Kumar Mahendra ne sirf ek ghante ke liye mehal pe milna hai aur fir wo kaam se bahar jaane wala hai. Abhishek beta bhi party meeting ke liye Delhi gaya hua aur wo kal he lautega. Unke ghar se ek file le kar tujhe 2 baje tak Mahendra ke yaha pahuchani hai. File Shilpa bitiya ko pata hai par wo khaas hai isliye main kisi aur ko wo lene nahi bhej sakta. Tera Vinod chacha bhi nahi hai udhar aur waha ghar pe sirf bitiya hai toh anjaan ka jana bhi thik nahi. Araam se nashta paani karke tu thik waqt nikal jana. Haan wo Umed wala bhi bata diya na teri daadi ne?", Ab Arjun hathiyaar daal gaya apne dada ki is baat par. Kaha toh wo soche baitha tha ki thoda aur araam karne ke baad din me nikal chalega par ab toh Rameshwar ji ne usko ghadi ke kaanto se jodd diya tha.
"Ji bas main nahane ke baad nikalta hu. File Mahendra ji ko he deni hai na ya kisi.."
"Sirf Mahendra ko. Uske kisi bhi salahkaar ya manager ko nahi. Aur tumhe maine rasta isliye bataya tha ki thoda soch samajh kar Himachal ke liye niklo par nahi janaab toh sar pe paanv rakh kar daud liye udhar. Ghar jaane ke baad kar lena araam jitna chaho.", Arjun jaanta tha ki udhar bhi araam naseeb nahi hone wala. Jasleen, Dipa bhabhi aur Jeenat toh ghar se bahar hai he par ghar ke bhitar Aanchal alag uska lahu peene wali hai. Barbas he Arjun ghar lafz zehan me aate he jaise kaal raat se abhi tak ke un drishyo me wapis laut chala jinke siwa uski jholi me aur kuch tha he nahi.
"Ji thik hai bau ji main tayaar hota hu, phir dhoop me safar bhi mushkil rahega.", Arjun ne aage baat kiye bina phone rakhte he upar jaane wali seedhiyon ka rukh kiya. Uske kadmo ki chapalta aur gambhir chehre ko dekh Aarti sirf yahi soch saki ki uske dada ji ne jarur Arjun ke jimme aavashyak kaam saunpa hai. Rekha ke kamre ka darwaja abhi bhi waise he bahar se band mila jaisa unhe sulane ke baad Arjun ne jaate waqt kiya tha. Beawaaj sa wo is kaksh me lauta toh dil is kadar sukoon se bhar utha jaise Arjun ka khud se he vastavik parichaya hua ho. Wo bikhra hua tha jab ghar lauta par Ritu ne wo tukde bantor kar Arjun ko punah Arjun banaya tha. Wo dil hai uska jiske bina Arjun jiwit toh raha par is kadar khokhla jaise barso se khaali pada wo ghonsla jisme kabhi ande senche he na gaye ho. Par ye jo itne gehre sukoon me soyi hui divyatma hai, aakhir ye kaun hai?
Safed chaadar gardan tak audhe soyi Rekha ne bhitar abhi tak koyi vastra na pehna tha jo kasi hui chaadar aur kamre ke atyadhik thande taapmaan se bakhubi jaahir tha. Is pal me bhi wo badra si ghani aur suljhi hui julfe ek taraf simti hui us adwitiya chehre ke aakarshan ke kareeb aane me bhi katra rahi thi. Arjun apni maa ko apna bhagwaan maanta tha par ye uski Tilottama thi jiska apna ek aur sach tha. Ekaant me har rishtey aur duniya se pare sirf Arjun ki Tilottama. Arjun ke kadam kab badhe aur kab wo Rekha ke sirhaane baitha uske gaal par jhukta hua halke se choom kar fir se us masoom se khamosh chehre ko dekhne laga jiska ye alag janam bas Arjun ke prem aur tapasya ka natija tha.
'Aaj main kyun alag sa lag raha hu.. Shayad main jiwan chakra se aage nikal aaya. Poora toh kabka ho chuka tha.. Aaj wapis kann kann sa bikhar gaya. Ye bikharna koyi tootne sa bura nahi hai.. Ye anu (atom) ka anu se judd kar bana ek naya tatva hai. Par main bana kya hu..?', Bahot aahiste se wo ye lafz bol raha tha aur Rekha ke khumaar se bhari apni aankhen khol kar jab upar Arjun ko aise jhuke paya, jiski aankhon me ek alag he samandar qaid tha par ludhka tha usme se bas ek aansu. Wo muskura raha tha dil ki gehraai se.
"Mujhe abhi aur sona hai.. Ummmm", Rekha sachmuch he us prem saagar ki gehraai me doobi thi jaha usne khud ke hone ka alag ehsaas prapt kiya tha. Arjun ko apne hontho se jodd kar wo usko bhi bister par laane lagi thi, apne pehlu me.
"Aapko sona bhi chahiye. Bas mujhe abhi jana hoga aur jana jaruri hai. Aap apna khayaal rakhna aur jo baaki raha wo wahi hoga jaha Tilottma ne chaha hai. Kya main kuch alag lag raha hu?", Arjun ne apni chahat poori na ki thi jabki nyota saamne se Rekha ne diya bhi tha. Uski wajah bhi wahi thi ki Rekha wo aanand khul kar lena chahti thi aur kisi band kamre ki jagah aise aashiyaane me jaha dur dur tak bas prakriti ke beech yahi dono ho. Arjun ke jaane ki baat sunn kar Rekha ne khade hone ki koshish ki toh seene se chaadar sarakne ke baad dono gol gumbad beparda toh hue he par jaangho ke beech atyadhik meethi lehar ne hontho se sitkaar ugal di.
"Aaahh.. Itni jaldi jana hai?", Arjun ne bas haule se he dono pusht stanno ko sehlane ke baad Rekha ko wapis chaadar se dhak kar leta diya.
"Aap 10 se pehle na niche jaayengi aur na kisi se milengi. Main nahane ke baad nashta kar ke nikal raha hu. Waise aapne bataya nahi ki kya main kuch alag lag raha hu is subah me.?", Ab Rekha bhi vivash thi kyonki Arjun ne aise adhikaar se kaha tha jaise wo uski bharya ho ya wo swami Rekha ka. Chehre ko gor se dekhti hui wo bhi ekaek muskura di.
"Shayad pehle dhyaan nahi diya maine par tumhare chehre par royen badhne ke sath ye kachi moochen ghani hone lagi hai. Tum sachmuch bade ho rahe ho Arjun."
"Chahat hai ki bas tumhari ek Inayat ho.. duriyaan kabhi badhe toh wo najraane me ho... Mumkin hai ki darkhaast-e-ishq duniya na samjhe.. Tumhare pehlu me kho du ek aks, dusra dikhawe ko jamaane me ho.", Arjun toliya utha kar bathroom me jaane se pehle bas itna keh gaya wo bhi shayarana andaaj me jisko sunn kar uski taraf karwat badalti Rekha ne badi he masoomiyat se jawaab diya.
"Tum jab pita banoge na Arjun, toh agar beti hui uska naam Inayat he rakhna.", Arjun ye sunn kar darwaja band kiye bina he paani ke niche nirvastra khada ho gaya. Wo abhi bhi muskura raha tha aur dhimi raftar se girti paani ki bauchare behad thandi aur sukoon dene wali thi.
"Aapko ajeeb nahi lagega is umar me fir se maa ban ne par?", Rekha toh sunn kar he dang reh gayi aur fir chehra sharam se laal.
"Bewkoof tumne mujhe operation karwane par majboor kar diya tha jab pehli he baar me saavdhani nahi li thi. Aur main yaha maa nahi naani bann ne ki baat kar rahi hu.", Rekha ne ek taraf samete rakha wahi raat wala reshmi vastra jism par pehan kar fir se chaadar audh li. Jism harkat karne par bhi Arjun ke jordaarn sansarg ka har gujra pal tasvir sa chala deta tha uski najro ke saamne. Ab wo jaane laga tha itna atydhik sukh dene ke baad aur charcha bhi kisi aur disha me ho li thi. Arjun toh paani ke neeche khada hua ab tak garbhvati ki gayi apni sanginiyon ke baare me he vichar karne laga tha. Aur maa dwara nasbandi karwana wo bhi uske sansarg ki wajah se jarur usko hansa raha tha.
"Bol na khamosh kyun ho gaya?"
"Main abhi utna bada nahi hua hu aur jab jimmewar bann jaunga tab ye itcha bhi poori kar dunga aapki.", Arjun ke sath Rekha ko ye masti karna bakhubhi bhaa raha tha aur wo usko abhi itni jaldi nahi chhodne wali thi.
"Manju toh pregnant hai na? Socha nahi kuch tumne?"
"Wo.. Uska wahi jaane aur aap kyun meri taang khinch rahi hai? So jao na araam se. Jaruri toh nahi jab kuch pata ho aur uske baare me baat ki jaaye? Manju ki raahen aur sapne mujhse jude jarur hai par uski manzil main na pehle tha aur na aage banunga. Aur main is se jyada samjha nahi sakta kyunki fir baat ulajh jaayegi.", Ye sach bhi tha kyonki Manju ke jiwan ko badalne wale Daleep aur Shankar he the, Arjun toh uski ummeed aur ekmatra majboot sahara tha. Rekha uski samajhdari par prabhavit toh hui lekin abhi toh usko hamaam me jyada nirvastra karna tha jis se dono us ster tak pahuche jaha sirf wo he ek dusre ko jaan ne ke liye bache.
"Anita aur Sangita? Teri maami hai wo dono par jara si umar me tumne unhe bhi."
"Aapne operation karwa liya na us darr se? Aur jara naani se baat kar lena aap is mudde par. Dono chhote mama ji jab shaadi he nahi karna chahte the toh kyun unke sath sath dono maamiyon ko janjir se baandh diya. Wo bhi aisi waisi nahi, hamesha adhurepan aur dard se bhari. Waha sabhi atche hai lekin kya atche logo se galat fainsle nahi ho sakte? Unhone mujhe par dore nahi daale the aur na ghar se bahar ijjatt kharaab ki. Unhone muhse request ki thi maa.. Wo apne dono jeth ko pita ki najro se dekhti hai aur unke liye main bhanje se jyada unka dost hu. Dost ek dusre ka sath nibhate hai maa, unhe majhdaar me nahi chhodte. Aap khud he sochiye ki apna ghar waha se aadha ghanta he dur hoga ya 40 minute lekin kya maine udhar aana jana rakha?"
"Majaak kar rahi thi main kyonki main jaanti hu ki tumne siwaye itcha poori karne ke uska galat faayeda nahi uthaya. Par aise he itchhayen kab kya rang le le pata nahi chalta Arjun.", Arjun ab toliye se khud ko paunchne laga tha paani band karne ke baad.
"Meri itchhayen bachpan se simit he hai maa. Mujhe tab bhi aapke saaye me rehna tha aur Komal didi-Ritu didi mera dhyaan waise he rakhti rahe jaise bachpan se aajtak rakhti aayi hai. Haan Preeti.. wo bachpan se he sabke dwara bataayi meri videshi gudiya thi aur wo aapko tab bhi maa bulati thi, aaj bhi. Is se jyada na maine kabhi manga aur na chahta hu. Haan jahan jahan mujhe jimmewariyan uthani padengi aur apna karam nibhana hoga, main wo karunga.", Arjun toliya baandh kar kamre me aaya toh Rekha ne palke jhapkaate hue sar toh hilaaya par jaise wo ab usko jiwan ka saar dene wali thi.
"Jimmewariyan aur karam. Ye sab tumne li hai ya tumhe di gayi hai is par nirbhar karta hai Arjun. Kam umar me he tumne ummeedo ko itna uncha kar diya hai ki aane wale kal me ya toh tum udaharan banoge ya bas udaharan bann kar reh jaoge. Main tumhe kabhi bhi apne saaye se dur nahi karna chahti thi kyonki tum shuru se he alag the. Main 3 peedhi baad sakaar hui toh tumne bhi apne se pehle wali 3 peedhiyon ke karam apne jimme utha liye. Tumhare paas dhire dhire jimmewariyon ka utna bada aadambar lag chuka hai ki isme tum khud toh rahe he nahi. Jaante ho ye jimmewariyan tumhare he hisse kyun aayi?", Arjun ne bas naa me sar hila diya.
"Kyunki tum samaaj ke khilaaf paida hone ke samay se ho, aaj se nahi. Tumhe taaqatwar aur jimmewar bahar ki duniya aur sab sudharne ke liye nahi banaya gaya.. Beshak tumne wo khud kar dikhaya. Tumhari ladaai tumhare he sath honi sunischit hai ye bade log jaante hai. Ab tum mera matra ansh nahi rahe, samaan tatva hai hum dono isliye tumhare sawaal jawaab se main dur nahi rahungi. Maut ko hara kar toh tum duniya me aaye the. Uske baad tumne adhikaar jamaya mujh par aur apni behno par. Sanjiv.. uski duniya sirf tum ho jo tumhe samaaj se bachaye rakhna chahta hai, sahej kar par kuch hadd tak wo viphal ho gaya jis par usko dukh nahi hai. Wo khush hai ki tum behtar ho rahe ho par wo bhi jaanta hai ki tum bahar ki duniya me kadam rakhoge, sirf akele tum.. Tab bahot kuch badlega chahe tumhari chahat mujhse shuru aur Preeti par khatam hoti ho. Jiwan ko hamesha samajhne se jyada usko jeena shuru karo Arjun. Ateet aur bhavishya toh mil kar suljhaya ja sakta hai par ye jo aaj tumhare paas hai, jab ye ateet badlega tab bhavishya roopi vartmaan me tumhe koyi dukh nahi hona chahiye. Baaki baatein hum apne special vacation par karenge. Bas thoda sa aankhon ke sath dimag khol kar rakhna, dil aur patloon kholne se pehle. Sabki chahate poori nahi hongi aur jinki hongi wo iska bakhaan unse jarur karenge jo vanchit reh gaye. Tum samajh gaye na main kya keh rahi hu?"
"bahot atche se mata ji. Aise he main mera dushman ban jaaunga. Isliye mujhe lagta hai ki mujhe aapke he saaye tale rehna chahiye."
"Aur jo tumhare saaye me rehte hai fir wo isko halke me nahi lene waale.. Hahaha.. Jao ab kapde pehan ke niklo apne safar par. Intjaar rahege aane wale samay ka."
"Aapse jyada mujhe. Umaaahh.. Bye bye Tilottama darling.."
"Dhatt.. jao ab is se pehle mera mood badle. Par din nikal chuka hai aur dhyaan se jana.", Rekha ke atche se gale lag kar Arjun ne bhi dono aankho ke upar choom kar sar hilaya.
"Toh ab main bada ho raha hu na? Waise lagta hai jaldi he bada ho gaya.", Arjun ke dwiarthi shabdo par sharmaati hui Rekha ne chaadar chehre tak audh li thi. Arjun apna bag le kar kamre ko band karta hua hansta muskurata chal diya naashte ke liye. Bas ek he raat me usne jahan Rekha ki chahat ko mukammal kiya tha wahi uski raah dekhti Alka, Aarti aur Ritu sang wo prem ke lamhe bakhubi jiye the. Naani ke sath nashte ka daur khatam karke wo jab yaha se rukhsat hua toh dusri manzil par Alka wale kamre ki khidki se Rekha usko jaate dekhti rahi aur Arjun ne gol aaine se chamak udhar maar kar bata diya tha ke wo ab uske dil ke sath sath saaye ki tarah bahar bhi sang hai.
.

"Ye duniya kabhi bhi mere ya tumhare hisaab se nahi chalti Shankar. Aur jo waha hua usko dimaag se nikaal kar bas ye soch ki hum jiwan ko kaise behtar disha de sakte hai. Us insaan ne jab tumhari poori baat suni toh wo aatm-manthan karta aansu baha raha tha. Usko yakeen ho gaya tha ki us haadse me sirf tum he galat nahi the aur agar hote toh kya hospital khud le kar jaate? Kya main uske saamne apna hathiyaar rakh kar khud ko uske hawale karta? Uske pariwar ke sath bahot bura hua tha Shankar aur jab hamari galti nahi thi fir bhi hum doshi ki tarah uske saamne the. Wo sehan nahi kar saka ye sab kyonki itne samay tak wo apni soch se bahar nahi aa saka tha. Vastavikta pata lagne par uske jiwan ka ab koyi uddeshya usko najar nahi aaya.", Narinder Shankar ko Mehul ke farm se gaadi me baitha kar ghar ki aur chal diya tha. Chalne se pehle dono ne wahi nashta kiya tha aur nahana tyaar hona bhi.
"Tu jaanta nahi be Inder agar tujhe kuch ho jata toh main marr jata mere bhai. Wo insaan bhi galat nahi tha kyonki tere ya mere jaane par maa ki kya haalat hogi? Baap ke kandhe par bete ke arthi se badh kar kya bojha hoga? Us behan ka jisne bhai khone ke sath ajanmi santaan bhi ganwayi. Duniya ke yahi pehlu mujhe darate hai bhai aur main isliye sirf wahi jung ladta hu jisme saamne wala doshi ho aur wo saamne ho. Main bahot darr gaya tha mere bhai, ye soch kar he ki mere gunaaho ki bali tu chadhne ja raha tha.", Shankar abhi bhi thoda bhaavuk tha jisko dekh Narinder ne gaadi chalate hue he ek hath se uska gaal thapak kar hansi di.
"Dekh lo andkosh ki badi goli ko, kitni soojan hai isme. Hahaha.. Main uske saamne nihattha jarur tha mere bhai par main bhi apne baap ke kandhe par waisa bojh nahi banta. Itna kamtar aanka kya tune mujhe? Par ek baat gaanth baandh le Shankar ki aainda tu apne hath khoon se nahi rangega fir chahe wo doshi ho yo koyi bhi. Ye tabhi karega jab main tere sath hou ya Umed. Tujhe kasam hai Ajju ki agar tune meri baat na maani toh.", Shankar apni galti se he aaj Narinder ki di gayi saugandh me fans chuka tha. Par ye uski suraksha aur charitra ki wajah se kiya gaya tha jis se bhavishya me us par aanch na aaye.
"Aur mere dosto, saale ya Daleep ke sath?"
"Kisi ke bhi saath nahi doctor sahab. Dimaag sirf kaam par chalaao aap aur baaki sab dekhne ke liye ye nithalla hai he tumhare sath. Khud soch Shankar jab tere pas main hu, Gajju hai aur Rajesh jaisa karmath insaan toh tujhe khud musibat mol lene ki jarurat he kya hai? Sanjiv bhi bahot laayak hai aur bajaye ki hum sabhi ke kandho ka bojh bematlab badhaye, jaisa saral jiwan chal raha usko chalne dete hai. Kal ko kya tu dada nana banega toh chahega ki bache waise he halaat me bade ho jo hamare bacho ne jhela? ladkiyan akeli bahar tak na nikal saki jawaan hone tak. Ek ko khoya, ek ko dur rakha aur teesra sab bhool kar bas suraksha prehri bann kar apna he jiwan kho baitha. Bata na Shankar kya aisa bhavishya dena chahta hai tu?", Is baat ne bahot gehra vaar kiya tha Shankar ke mann mastishk par. Uske karmo ki saja jo Inder ko milne wali thi aur agar bhavishya me wo uske he bacho par gaaj gira de toh kya hoga.
"Nahi bhai.. Main aag laga dunga duniya ko agar kisi bhi bache par aanch aayi toh."
"Oye tu agnishaman karamchari bann be khadd dimaag, aag bhadkaane wala nahi. Pariwar ko ab suraksha nahi khul kar zindagi jeene ka mauka dena hai. Haan diware majboot kar chuke hai hum aur jo roothe the wo maan chuke hai. Ritu bitiya agle baras videsh chali jaayegi aur Alka bhi. Tu thoda bahot chhutti le kar wo dono desh ghoom fir ke aa. Uske ek saal baad apna laadla bhi college shuru karega par uske jiwan me tu dakhal nahi dega jaise hamare samay papa ne nahi diya. Pratispardhi bann ne ki jagah bas baap ban, dost toh tu bas kabhi kabhi banta hai uska aur waise bhi boodhe sher ko jawaan sher pasand kaha aate hai. Hahaha..", Gehri nasihat ke sath Narinder ne masti majaak me badalte waqt ki bhi tasvir rakh di apne bade bhai ke sammukh jis par Shankar ke udaasin chehre par wo parichit muskaan lautne lagi thi.
"Jab wo khud se kuch banega tabhi usko pata chalega Inder ki zindagi sone ki chammach aur chaandi ki thaali jaisi nahi hai jo usko paida hote he naseeb hui. Haan teri ye baat uchit hai ki bacho ko ab jeene ke awsar milne he chahiye. Kabhi Dharamvir chacha toh kabhi papa khud meri anginat files rukwate aur bachate aaye hai. Bahot baar sochta hu ki galtiyan na ho par humne sab apne aap he toh seekha aur aaj ye mukaam itni asaani se sath nahi chhodne wala."
"Tum fir galat ho mere bhai aur is soch ko badlo ya na badlo par fir kabhi ye matt kehna ki Arjun ko sone ki chammach paida hote he naseeb hui ya tum aur main self-made hai. Papa tak is baat se inkaar karte hai aur unka kehna hai ki insaan kabhi bhi akela kuch nahi kar sakta. Tumhare aur mere sar par unka hath tha, bachpan me cycle, scooter aur fir jeep tak hume mili. Tumhe toh baaki sabse 50 rupaye tak adhik milte the aur padhai ke sath jitne kaand kiye hum dono ne Arjun ne waisa ek bhi nahi kiya kyonki wo hamara beta hone ke bawjood aadarniya Rameshwar ji aur Kaushalya ji ka bhakt hai. Uske dil me jo sabke liye narmi hai wo usne us ghar se seekhi hai jaha rehne se hum katraate the. Duniya me aisa koyi insaan nahi hota Shankar jo apne boote par bada hua ho aur naam kamaya ho. Kahi pariwar toh kahi kahi shikshak aur or kuch nahi toh dost jarur sath hote hai. Tum ab bas apni naukri, dosto ki mehfil aur samaaj kalyaan me yogdaan do bhai. Mata pita ki karam agli peedhiyon tak asar dikhate hai isko hamesha dhyaan me rakhna. Arjun kaamyab nahi bann na chahta kyonki wo kaamyab hai. Wo apne se jyada dusro ke liye jeena chahta hai isliye tulna mumkin bhi nahi. Nashte ke baad tumhara dil kare toh duty chale jana.", Itni der se apne bhai ki har baat ko gor se sunte hue Shankar ko kahi na kahi ehsaas ho gaya tha ki wo beshak apne pita samaan mukaam par hai par isme sabka yogdaan jarur hai. Aur ab duty ka jikar hua toh usne bhi itcha prakat ki.
"Tu ghar nahi rehne wala?"
"Nashta karke main Vishnu ki taraf jaane laga hu. Thoda araam karunga aur fir uske sath paani ki kyaariyan banani hai udhar. Kal tayaar paudhe aaye the khet par aur mitti sudharne ka kaam chalta raha. Machine se 10 nehre si banaai hai usne jahan paani rahega aur unke beech wale unche hisse par peid lagenge. Daleep bhai bhi avkaash par he hai aur Rajesh kal raat bhi wahi mehfil jamaye baitha tha Daleep ke chote bhai aur Vishnu ke sath. Bahot raftaar se kaam karwaya hai Daleep aur Pal bhai ne waha."
"Main bhi udhar he chalta hu tere sath nashta karke. Kaam se furlow maarunga par ghar pe yahi bolna ki tu mujhe hospital chhod ke gaushala ja raha hai."
"Hahaha.. bhai tu aur teri furlow. Maa agar papa ke sath gaushala dekhne aayi fir tu kya bahana karega?", Narinder ki baat ka jawaab jaise Shankar pehle he soche baitha tha. Ab wo avsaad aur peeda bhula kar wapis pehle sa he tha.
"Gaushala dekhne aayenge toh dekh ke chale jaayenge. Aur Vishnu se milne aaye toh main Daleep ke khet me nikal lunga pichle raste se. Par mera aaj kaam pe jaane ka dil nahi hai toh nahi hai."
"Haan bhai ab dil hoga kaise? Raat ke 2-3 baje tak daaru peeyoge toh uske baad sona he hai. Chal thik hai tu bhi chal bas daaru nahi milegi udhar. Waise kal driver ka intjaam karke rakhna, Lalita bhabhi ko Madhuri bitiya ki sasural jana hai.", Ghar ke bahar pahuchte he najar gate ke bahar he khade Col sahab aur apne pita par padi jo jaise inki he pratiksha kar rahe the.
"Marr gaye Inder. Maine bahana lagaya tha ki main Mehul ke udhar se he duty chala jaunga aur ab main tere sath aaya hu."
"Le swaad ab tu aur mujhse poocha toh main keh dunga ki tune toh mujhe hospital me Vivaan ke samay he bol diya tha ki subah tujhe farmhouse se leta jau.", Narinder bhi barabar maje le raha tha apne bhai ke aur dono ka waisa he swagat hua.
"Heera Panna ki jodi jaati alag alag hai lekin aati eksath. Nawaab sahab gaadi kaha khadi ki tumne jisme baith kar ghar se nikle the?", Rameshwar ji ka andaaj dekh Shankar samajh chuka tha ki ab thoda jhelna he hoga.
"Wo tyre puncture ho gaya tha kal shaam ko he hospital me. Wahi laga di thi papa aur Inder ko maine shaam ko he bol diya tha ke mujhe subah Mehul ke ghar se le le."
"Sahi kahani hai beta bas jahaan se raat ko tumne phone kiya tha wo hospital Prataap ka tha aur gaadi tumhari sadar thaane me sahi salamat khadi hai jaisi tumne kari thi. Jao thoda khana vaana kha lo bhai uske baad fursat mile toh phone kar lena. Main jara tumhare chacha ke sath gaushala ja raha hu. Inder, aate hue apni maa ke lete aana.", Ab dono ghar ke bhitar ja rahe the aur Narinder mooh daba kar hansi ko rokne ki bharsak koshish karta aakhir hans he diya.
"Bhai ab tu mere sath bhi nahi ja sakta furlow maarne ke liye aur ghar me gaadi bhi nahi bachi koyi. Hospital he chhod sakta hu tujhe bas."
"Wo le jaunga main jo kapda audha ke khadi kar rakhi. Hospital toh nahi jaane wala main."
"Maa tujhe scooter ki chaabi de degi agar Arjun wali gaadi ki taraf rukh kiya toh. Raju bhaiya pehle he gaushala me car chhod ke aaye hue hai jinhe maa se jhidak padne wali unke lautne par. Chal aaja parathe kha le fir soch liyo ke scooter se jana hai ya mere sath hospital."
"Haan uski toh chaabi tak maa sambhalne lagi ab nahi toh car me he rehti thi hamesha. Scooter chalaye bhi bahot din hue yar Inder. Aaj ye vespa he leke jata hu. Thoda model town ki market me tafreeh karunga aur fir anaaj mandi wale dosto ki taraf nikal lunga.", Ab pichle aangan me unka pehle he intjaar ho raha tha jaha pahuchte he dono khamosh ho gaye apni maa ko pehle se unke liye plate lagate dekh.
"Shankar, fir tu kahega main tujhe sabke saamne jhaad lagati hu. 8 baje se pehle ka bola tha maine jab bahar rukna ho tujhe. Raat 2 baje kaun phone karta hai? Ab kapde badal le nashte ke baad, phir mere aur Inder ke sath he chaliyo. Aur agle eitwaar tak raat 8 se pehle har roj ghar dikhna chahiye."
"gayi bhains paani me. Aaj din he galat chadha hai jo socho uska ulta he ho raha bhai.", Kaushalya ji ke rasoi me jaate he Shankar ne bebasi se jawaab diya.
"Abe maa tujhe hospital chhodne ka nahi boli, sath chalne ka kaha hai. Yahi toh tu chahta tha."
"Sona chahta tha be main udhar ja kar aur ab maa ke sath jaunga toh ho gaya araam mera. Chal kam se kam Vishnu toh milega udhar.", Shankar ne pehle toh lassi ka gilaas bhara aur aise he khaali kar diya kuch khaaye bina.
"Papa gaye na udhar chacha ke sath toh Vishnu bhi naseeb nahi hone wala. Aur ab kuch matt soch, maa se keh diyo ki hospital me jaruri kaam hai aaj tujhe."
"Koyi kaam nahi hai isko waha jo tum salaah banate fir rahe ho. Dharamvir bhai sahab ka phone aa chuka hai pehle he aur unhone he kaha hai ki isko bhi sath lete aaye waha. Ab chupchaap khana khaao aur Raju hai ghar pe. Arjun bol raha tha ke Lalita ko main seedhi bus se he bhijwa du kal savere 5 baje. 9 baje wo adde se le lega apni taai ko. Aur wo bhi gaadi se mana kar rahi jabki ek bag samaan hai beti damaad ke liye."
"Bhabhi jaise jana chahti hai jaane do maa. Driver kaho toh driver mangwa leta hu, apni gaadi se le jaayega. Jab bhabhi ne aana hoga wapis toh le aayega."
"Usne rukna hai waha 3-4 din, hath lagaane nahi ja rahi. Beti ki sasural me driver aur rukwane lago?", Kaushalya ji dwara parose garma garam parathe dekh Shankar ne toh dhyaan ek jagah he kendrit kar liya tha par Narinder batchit karte hue khaane laga.
"Kaho toh main he chhod aata hu maa. 3 ghante lagne hai saare jaane me.", Abhi achaar aur raaita le kar Lalita ji udhar he aayi thi jinhone apni saas se pehle jawaab diya.
"Savere wali bus kahi nahi rukti devar ji aur Arjun pehle mujhe market le kar jaayega jaha se shagun ka samaan lena hai. Waha wo hai aur uske paas gaadi bhi hai toh fir kyun alag se gaadi driver? Bas tum mujhe 5 baje wali bas pakadwa dena.", Ab yaha Arjun aur Lalita ji ki alag he khichdi pak rahi thi jo inke kaha samajh aati. Narinder ne bhi hathiyaar daal diye unke aage. Koyi paksh me nahi tha ki wo bus se jaaye par ab Arjun ne apni daadi ko sandesh diya tha aur idhar Lalita ji ne apna paksh rakh diya tha. Pate ki baat ye thi ki is sabme Shankar ka dhyaan bhang ho chuka tha raat wali ghatna se aur ab wo wapis pariwar ke beech hamesha jaisa tha. Narinder ke baat saarthak thi ki insaan akela kuch nahi banta, jiska udaharan yaha saamne he tha ki sab ek dusre se jude the, sehyogi the aur nirbhar bhi.

"Phir mila time tujhe Aaru ke sath?", Gor karne wali baat thi ki subah ke 10 bajne wale the aur Rekha abhi tak gehri neend me apne bister par thi. Ritu ne chai ke liye darwaja khatkaya bhi tha par bhitar se yahi awaaj mili ki wo dopehar me he khana he lengi. Ab teeno he apni apni neend poori karke nashta karti hui aapas me charcha karne lagi thi. Sunanda ji toh Kunti ko bahar kaam samjhane me vyast thi toh ab inke aaspas aur koyi na tha.
"Tere se kab milne aaya tha wo?", Ritu ne ulta Aarti se he sawaal kiya.
"3:30 par aur phir meri aankh he lag gayi uske sath lete hue. Subah naani ne awaaj di toh main aayi tumhare kamre me. Dekh kar toh laga ki udhar shayad tum log subah he soyi hogi. Tum dono udhar ek sath he Aaru..?", Apni baat kehte kehte Aarti ke he gaal gulabi ho gaye jaisa usko Ritu aur Alka ke aapsi rehan sehan ka atche se pata tha.
"Kuch bhi matlab. Main toh iske paas gayi thi wait karne ke liye par madam padhti rahi aur mujhe neend aa gayi 3 baje ke kareeb. Bas fir Ritu aur Aaru ko he soye dekha jab karwat li toh. Main bhi hath rakh kar so gayi. Us time saraswati ji he jubaan par hongi hamare jab kaha tha ke uske sath sone ko mile. Wahi mila fir.", Alka ke hontho ko mudta dekh Aarti bhi khilkhila uthi par Ritu ne apne bhaav atche se chhupa liye jaise usne ek ghante me he manchaha paa liya ho. Karari bread par makkhan lagati hui wo coffee ki chuskiyon ke sath bas wahi kha rahi thi.
"Is madam ne bhi jab sona tha toh fir behtar hota na ki main bhi udhar he aa jaati. Jyada der sone ko milta uske paas. Waise badi maa aaj pehli baar itne samay tak soyi hui hai. Tabiyat toh thik hai na unki? Wo Aaru ke jaane par toh jagi hui thi.", Aarti ne ab dhyaan Rekha ki taraf karwaya toh Ritu ne he jawaab diya, apne hontho se makkhan saaf karte hue.
"Maa soyi hongi 3 baje ke baad he aur fir Aaru gaya hai 6:45 par jab tumne unhe utha hua paya. Kal savere ghar se gaadi chala kar wo idhar aayi thi aur fir sara din ki bhaag-daud bhi unhone he ki. Ghar pe toh wo pichle ek hafte se soyi he nahi thi isliye toh Aaru unke paas ruka hum sabke hote hue bhi. Chhuttiyon par aaye hai yaar toh thoda time ab ye rules aur Aaru ko side karke mast rehte hai. Padhne ka system toh set hai he idhar aur maa ne kaha tha ke kal hum log boating karne chalenge. Aur wo waha par humse he sab mehnat karwane wali hai.", Ritu ke khulaase par baaki dono he chehak uthi.
"Haan yaad is jheel me toh nahane utar nahi sakte par nadi pe chalenge toh full masti hogi. Chachi bhi majedar insaan hai bas unhe jaan ne ka mauka pehle nahi mila. Tabhi Komal didi kehti thi ki hum log abhi atche se jaante nahi Serious Line (gambhir Rekha) ko. Hahaha.. Waise ek dhamakedar khabar bataun?", Ab Alka ne unka dhyaan hansi ke sath apni adhuri baat par kheencha. Ritu utsukta se dekh rahi thi ki aisa kya hai jo usko nahi pata.
"Ab bol bhi de ya suspense me maaregi?", Aarti ne khali plate ek taraf sarkate hua mej par rakhe apne cup ko thaam liya. Aalam ye tha ke aaj ye teeno abhi tak nahaai bhi nahi thi. Matlab inka poora avkaash chaalu tha.
"Kal main aur Aaru gaye the na walk par raat ko. Wapis aate hue baarish me usne mujhe ummm ummm kiya.", Alka ne shabdo ki jagah bas hontho ko gol karte hue kaha. Awaaj itni dabi hui ki hall toh kya mej se bahar he na gayi. Ritu shaant dikhi par Aarti ko jaise ummeed nahi thi.
"Kuch naya bata ab?", Ritu ne jhunjhlaate hue kaha.
"Wo maid (Kunti) ne dekh liya mujhe.", Alka ne sachmuch he bomb gira diya tha itna bol kar lekin chehre se wo shaant he dikhi, baaki dono ke toh mooh he khule reh gaye.
"Paagal hai?" Ritu aur Aarti ke swar ek sath he nikle.
"Darne wali baat nahi hai jo tum dono aise chonk rahi ho. Wo toh khud waha nangi baithi thi jaise baarish me bhigne aayi ho. Usko laga hoga ki itni raat ko waha kaun aane wala hai toh maje se taango ke beech kuch daal kar hila rahi thi. Aaru ki najar nahi gayi us taraf aur ye sab maine aur us maid ne bijli ki chamak me dekha. Tabhi toh wo mujhe dekhte he sakpaka gayi thi thodi der pehle. Pati tharki aur patni pyaasi. Ye toh wahi baat ho gayi ki miya ji bina goli ki bandok aur begam saahiba maatchis ki dibiya... Hahaha..", Alka ke udharan par Aarti toh sab bhool kar muskurayi par Ritu jaise kuch sochne lagi thi.
"Wo yaha hamari gair-haajri me akeli rehne wali hai Alka aur ye jagah bahot sambhaal kar duniya se bacha kar rakhi gayi hai. Ho sake toh apne tarike se is baare me maa se jarur baat karna. Tum jaanti ho ki baat kaise ghumani hai aur meri baat ka matlab bhi samajh gayi hogi. Aarti, jara pata kar toh Arjun gaanv pahuch gaya kya.", Ritu sabhi plate ekatrit karti hui uth khadi hui. Bartan jyada nahi the jinhe saaf karne ke baad ye log fir se bagiche me samay bitane wali thi. Aarti ne bhi wahi rakhe register se gaanv ka number nikaal ka mila diya. Kuch samay tak ghanti jaane ke baad jo baat hui us se toh yahi pata chala ki Arjun kapde badal kar Anamika chachi ke kamre me thodi der sone gaya hai aur 12:30 par usne shehar jana hai jaruri kaam se.
"Iske kaam jaruri he rehte hai chahe wo ho kuch bhi nahi. Itni jaldi ye bhaga kyun yaha se agar tujhe pata ho toh.?", Rasoi me sandesha milte he Ritu ne Aarti se baaki jaankari chaahi.
"Subah 6 baje he dada ji ka phone aaya tha aur uske baad he wo tayaar ho kar nikal gaya tha. Yahi bataya tha ki dada ji ka he koyi kaam hai jiske liye usne pehle Madhuri didi ki sasural jana hai fir mehal.", Aarti ka jawaab sapaat tha par Ritu ko mehal sunn kar he kuch yaad aa gaya tha
"Wo Rajkumari Amrita dekhi thi tumne shaadi me? Mujhe lagta hai ki wo Arjun ko pasand karti hai. Aur dada ji bhi usko waha bhej rahe hai jaha agar gadbad hui toh sambhaale nahi sambhlegi. Koshish karna ki 1 baje ke aaspas Shilpa didi se baat ho jab Arjun unke yaha pahuche ya unhe bata de ki Arjun ke waha aate he baat karwa de, shehar se kuch lene ka yaad karwana hai bas.", Ritu plate kapde se saaf karti hui nahane ka bol kar nikal gayi jabki Aarti apni jagah khadi apna sar khujati hui masoomiyat se bhari aur ulajh gayi is jhanjat me. Usko ye sab samajh he kaha aata tha. Par itna jaan gayi thi ki Ritu chintit hai rajkumari aur Arjun ke beech agar kuch bhi hua toh. Aur wo chintit hai matlab Aarti ko bhi chinta karni chahiye.

"Kuch jyada he thake hue lagte ho? Doodh bana kar lau kya?", Band kamre me Arjun chachi ki goad me sar tikaye hue araam se leta tha aur uske sar ko sehlati hui Anamika chachi khush thi ki wo ghar aate he sabse pehle unke pehlu me tha. Par wo jaanti thi ki Arjun itni savere nikla tha aur lambe safar ke baad peeth bhi dukhne lagti hai dupahiya par. Yaha unki baat sunn kar Arjun ne sidha blouse ke upar se he unka ek kathor ubhaar thaam liya.
"Yahi pila do chachi jo sabse taja aur taqat dene wala hai. Nikku toh peeta nahi tabhi gaanthe padti rehti hai inme.", Pakadne ke sath wo ab unhe halke se bhompu ki tarah dabane laga toh chachi ke badan me sursuri si chalne lagi. Par hath hatane ke jagah unhone bhi saamne ke 3 hukk khol kar peele/laal blouse ko upar uthate hue ek gora sudol stann uske hawale kar diya. Nipple sachmuch akda hua tha aur neeli hare nasse bata rahi thi ki Niketan ne isko hath tak nahi lagaya.
"Araam se peena kyonki jyada bharne se dukhta hai. Wo toh ek he taraf ka peeta hai aur is chakkar me kahi dono alag alag na dikhne lage. Issss.. kya masti karte ho har ghadi..", Arjun ke chehre par jhukte hue unhone wo gulabi nipple uske hontho me khudse he bhara toh pehle jeebh se sehla kar Arjun ne thoda jor se he chusak liya.
"Isme gaanth dikh rahi thi isliye rasta kholna pada chachi. Waise raat ka kya vichaar hai aapka?", Ab doodh chusakne ke sath usne ek hath dusre wale par pahucha diya, blouse se rasta toh khula he tha. Itne chikne aur bhare bhare stanno ko masalne se jyada un par hath firane me Arjun ko maja mil raha tha. Aur Anamika chachi toh bas aanand me doobi is sparsh ka asar jaangho ke beech tak mehsoos kar rahi thi jinhe ab wo aapas me jodd bhi nahi sakti thi chaukdi maar kar Arjun ko us par litaye hone ki wajah se. Par iske sath he Arjun badi lagan se unke sakht hue doodh bhare stann ko khaali karte hue araam bhi de raha tha. Anamika chachi ko badi hairat hui jab unhone uske hath ko ek jagah sthir paya. Arjun ka chehra dekha toh wo itminaan se soya hua neend me he chuchak chusak raha tha kisi chhote bache jaise.
'Waah ye hai mere bhole saiyaan ji. Sahi kehti hai badi maa ki ye aaj bhi kahi na kahi bache he hai. Chalo ab jab pyaar hai toh mujhe ye roop bhi pasand hai.', Agle 15 minute tak Arjun sara doodh khatam karke ab shaanti se goad me soya tha jaise peit bhar gaya ho. Us stann ki atyadhik kasawat me bhi Anamika ab halkpan mehsoos kar rahi thi aur jab ek boond Arjun ke hontho par apne he doodh ki dekhi toh anjaane he uske hontho ko choom baithi. Uski neend aur apni harkat ka dhyaan aate he wo sakuchati si Arjun ke sar ke niche takiya rakhne ke baad uski baah bhi dusre takiye par tikati hui bister se uthi aur darwaja khol kar bahar aangan me aa gayi.
"Wo maharaaj toh aate he so gaye par unke chahne wale phone kar rahe hai maami. Pehle Aarti ka phone tha aur ab kisi Jini ka. Jaane ye kab kaha dost bana leta hai.", Aanchal ne ek nigaah bister par soye Arjun par daali aur fir apni maami ke sath computer wale kamre me dakhil ho gayi jaha Anjali Sanjida se kuch seekh rahi thi computer par.
"Itna safar karke aaya hai aur kal gaya bhi tha. Kitna sone ko mila hoga udhar apni maa aur behno se milne par? Aur dost banana toh atchi baat hai na Aanchal. Meri bhi pehle sirf tumhi ek dost thi aur dekho ab Anjali bhi hai aur Sanjida ji toh dost ke sath sath hamari doctor saheli bhi.", Idhar bhi darwaja band ho gaya tha jaise ek din me he bahot kuch ghata ho. Apna naam sunn kar Sanjida kursi chhod kar inki bagal me he bed par aa baithi. Dhili si patiyala sawlaar aur tang kameej me aaj wo naisargik roop me thi aur utni he khush bhi.
"Ab saheli ke pati julm karek chal nikle toh mera bhi farz banta hai na ki dard ki dawa karu. Waise ye dono bhi mature hai aur sab samajhti hai. Kal ko inki bhi shaadi hogi jaisa ki uncle ji keh rahe the ki saal ya 2 saal me. Par mujhe bas ek baat samajh nahi aayi Anamika ji. Shaadi ko ho gaye 5 saal aur ek bacha hone ke baad bhi aapko bukhaar aa gaya chaal me farak ke sath? Mujhe is sabka experience nahi hai par hospital me samay bitaya hai aur kaafi vivahit dost rahi hai meri udhar. Kuch dugni umar ki bhi aur aisi sab baatein aapas me hoti rehti thi jaha main sirf shrota bann ke sab sunti thi kyonki batane ke liye mere paas toh bas itna he tha ki kabhi kabhi khud ko touch karke heat kam kar leti thi jaisa sabhi karti hai. Par kahi bhi aap jaisa maamla sunn ne ko nahi mila. Aur wo bhi Vinod ji ke jaane ke ek din baad.", Ab dono yuvtiyaan toh ek dusre ko kankhiyon se dekhti hui mand mand muskura rahi thi par Anamika nishabd si bas ungliyon me ungliyan uljhaye jawaab soch rahi thi.
"Kahi unhone aprakritik sex toh nahi kiya tha aapke sath? Matlab back-side se. Mujhe iska bhi kuch pata nahi par ek senior nurse kehti thi ki aisa karwane par unhe 2-3 din tak taklif rehti thi aur kuch ko ye bhi atcha lagta tha.", Sanjida naam ke anusaar he baat kar rahi thi par Anamika ki haalat dekh kar Aanchal ne he maamla apne hatho me liya.
"Mama aur maami ka kuch regular nahi hai didi. Ya ye keh lijiye ki inke pregnant hone ke baad se he wo sab band tha. Ab 8-9 mahine baad shayad body tayaar nahi hui hogi is sabke liye. Aur dard badha tabhi aapka dhyaan gaya aur aapne dard ki dawa di."
"Hmmm. Sahi kehti ho Aanchal tum. Waise tumhe experience hai kya? Matlab boyfriend hai tumhara waha shehar me?", Aanchal ab diler ho chali thi is sawaal par.
"Gaanv me nahi ho sakta kya didi jo shehar ka jikar kiya aapne? Aur rahi baat experience ki toh mera boyfriend kehta hai ki ye sab na dhire dhire chalna chahiye jis se pyaar badhta rahe aur fir ek baar sex ho gaya toh fir bas hamesha wahi hota rahega. Itne jitna maje le sakte ho, ek dusre ke sath masti kar sakte ho kar li jaaye. Aapne kyun nahi banaya koyi boyfriend?", Ab sooyi Sanjida par ghoomi toh wo sakpakayi jaise uske mann me bahot kuch chal raha ho.
"Nahi... aisa kuch nahi.. Wo pehle bas career par dhyaan tha aur baad me logo ke bure anubhav sunn sunn kar mujhe aadat padd gayi kaam se kaam rakhne ki. Phir yahi lagta tha apni saheliyon se sunn kar ki sabhi mard bas matlabi hote hai jo pehli meethi baatein karenge aur kaam hua nahi ki najre fer lete hai. Yaha tak ki bahot se toh married doctors aur nurses ka bhi aapas me ulta sidha scene tha aur wo nurses promotion ya gharwale se khush na hone ko wajah batati thi. Isliye main toh raat ki duty se dur he rehne lagi jab ye sab jyada hota tha.", Sanjida mudde ki baat taal kar alag vivran de rahi thi par Aanchal kaha peeche hatne wali thi aur uski baatein sunn kar ab Anjali ke sath sath Anamika ko bhi maja aane laga.
"Mera sawaal ye nahi tha didi? Aapko aajtak koyi ladka pasand nahi aaya? Mujhse toh aap 3-4 saal badi hai aur aapke barabar maami ki toh shaadi aur beta bhi hai."
"Ek doctor pasand tha mujhe.. matlab wo atcha dikhta tha aur bolta bhi bade pyaar se tha sabke sath. Ghamand jara si bhi nahi tha lekin wo sabke sath aisa he tha aur maine kabhi himmat nahi ki uske sath baat karne ki kyonki mere se kahi jyada sundar ladkiyan pehle he uske aaspas mandrati rehti thi. Phir pata laga ke wo alag nahi tha kuch. Kayi interns ke sath usne rishtey bana kar unse duri bana li thi. Jyadatar ke sath sirf ke baar aur sabse badi baat jo pata chali thi wo ye ki wo shaadishuda tha jiski biwi pehle kisi aur shehar me doctor thi aur baad me wo bhi uske paas chala gaya. Tabhi mujhe ye sab shaadi-pyaar affair se dur rehna bhala lagne laga.", Sanjida ki aapbiti sunn kar Anamika ko sachmuch bahot bura laga tha jisne uska hath thaam kar jaise dilasa diya aur badle me wo muskuraayi.
"Par ab lagta hai ki har mard ek jaisa nahi hota. Kuch khaas hote hai jo apne se jyada dusro ke baare me sochte hai, unhe pyaar karte hai aur apne se jude har insaan ko.", Ye yakinan usne Arjun ka he parichaya diya tha aur baaki teen me se 2 ye samajh bhi chuki thi. Anamika ki dhadkan badhi thi par Aanchal ne chutki lete hue agla teer chal diya.
"Aise ladke.. matlab mard fir kisi ek ke nahi hote didi. Kyonki wo parwaah aur pyaar sabse karte hai. Socho agar aisa ladka.. matlab mard aapki life me aaya bhi toh aap toh usko pasand he nahi karengi kyonki wo ek ke sath kaha hoga jab sabko pyaar karne wala hua toh?", Sanjida ko itne sapaat jawaab aur fir sawaal ki aasha toh nahi thi par jaise ab baat hatth par aa chuki thi.
"Mere sath hone par wo bas mere pas ho dil aur mann se toh mujhe koyi pareshaani nahi. Aur jaruri toh nahi har bonding sex par he khatam ho Aanchal?"
"Jiski tasvir aap mann me banaye hue ho na mujhe toh lagta hai ki uski bonding shuru he sex se hoti hogi aur fir dooba dega pyaar bhar bhar ke. Aksar aise jo gine chune log hote hai na jinke bantware par bhi dukh ki jagah khushnaseebi samjha jaaye, wo aapki banaayi aakhiri seema ko pehli bana kar us duniya me le jaate hai jaha koyi seema nahi hoti. Thoda bahar niklo apni set limits didi, tabhi pata chalega ki ye jo pyaar hai na isko mann me baithaya ja sakta hai par qaid nahi kar sakte. Bach ke rehna pehle he bata rahi hu. Dard aur dawa phir aapko milenge. Hahaha..", Phone bajne ki awaaj se Aanchal hansti hui kamre se bahar nikal chali Sanjida ke sath sath Anamika ko bhi tajjub me chhod kar.
"Ye ladki kya bol gayi Anamika ji?"
"mujhe kaise pata hoga didi? Maine toh seedha shaadi ki aur uske baad he pyaar hua hai. Aap us se he pooch lena, main chai bana ke laati hu.", Anamika ne bhi baaton baaton me apna sach keh sunaya tha ki shaadi Vinod se aur uske baad ab pyaar Arjun se. Par pehle se uljhi Sanjida ke ye sab kaha samajh aata. Ek baar fir se udhar phone par koyi Arjun ka he chahne wala tha aur Aanchal ne naam pukara toh wo koyi Jannat thi, Arjun ki pehchaan wali. Ek ghante baad he Arjun uth kar ab phone sunn raha tha jisko apne saamne se gujarta dekh dil he dil me Sanjida ko alag si garmi mehsoos hui.
