Bhai suspance pe suspance Dal rhe story me Jo bhi h shandar h

 

[Rahul]

Kash ek baar baat ki hoti kash punch liya hota to sayad jo galatfahmiyan hui wo na hoti aur had to tab hoti jab mafi mangne ko royen hum aur maaf karne wala hi na rahe

 

[The Immortal]

"Aur tumhein ye baat pata thi?"

"Jaisa ke maine kaha, us waqt pata nahi thi. Us waqt toh sirf shakal jaani pehchani lagi. Baad mein pata chala ke vo kaun thi"

"Toh tum mujhe ye keh rahe ho ke jo ladki ek hafte se ghar se gayab thi us din subah tumne use dekha aur usi din Ravi bhi gayab ho gaya?

"Ji haan"

"Tum ye baat itne yakeen se kaise keh sakte ho ke ladki Sunanda hi thi, koi aur bhi toh ho sakti hai"

"Shakal kaafi gaur se dekhi thi maine. Pehchanne mein galti nahi kar sakta" Use bade confidence se jawab diya.

"Toh tumhein yakeen hai ke vo Sunanda hi thi"

"Haan"

"Aaj 20 saal baad bhi? Aur tumhein ye ek baat itni achhi tarah se yaad hai?"

"Iski bhi ek vajah hai"

"Kya?"

"Jab maine use saamne se dekha toh bas ek ghabrayi si ladki dikhai di jo kisi vajah se chhup chhup kar ja rahi thi. Ek pal ko maine ye bhi socha ke shayad aisa kuchh nahi hai, mujhe hi aisa lag raha hai ke ye thodi pareshan hai. Aur ye bhi ho sakta hai ke ho kisi baat ko lekar pareshan, ab aise sadak chalte har kisi se toh nahi puchh sakte na"

"Right"

"Par jab vo aage nikal gayi toh maine ek baar phir palat kar uski tarah dekha. Us din hawa kaafi tez thi aur ek pal ke liye, sirf ek pal ke liye hawa ka ek tez jhonka aaya aur uski saree ka pallu uske jism se khiska"

"Ok, toh?"

"Use shareer ke upari hisse mein saree ke andar kuchh nahi pehen rakha tha"

"Matlab?"

"Matlab usne sirf uper se saree pehen rakhi thi. Jab aanchal sarka toh mujhe pichhe se uski poori nangi peeth dikhai di. Andar blouse nahi tha. Aise lah raha tha jaise vo kahin se jaldbaazi mein nikli ho, bas shareer par fatafat saree lapet kar hi nikal bhaagi ho"

"Hmmmm"

"Ab aap hi bataiye, ek din aapko ek ladki yun badhawas si aadhe kapdo mein sadak par chhup kar chalti dikhe aur baad mein aapko pata chale ke vo ladki ghar se ek hafta pehle se gayab thi toh kya aap kabhi uska chehra bhool paayenge? Kya is baat ko apne zehan se nikal paayenge?"

"I guess not. Tumne kisi ko ye baat batayi?"

"Nahi"

"Kyun?"

Maine puchha toh vo ek pal ke liye chup ho gaya.

"Kyun?" Maine phir sawal dohraya.

"Vajah thi"

"Jaan sakta hoon ke vo vajah kya thi?"

"Uske baad thodi hi door mujhe Ravi Sahab bhi usi taraf jaate dikhe"

"Tumhara matlab ladki ke pichhe?"

"Pata nahi, par ja usi taraf rahe the"

"Aur tumhein laga ke Ravi us ladki ke pichhe ja raha hai? Ke vo ladki Ravi se bachkar bhaag rahi hai"

Usne phir koi jawab nahi diya par uski khamoshi ne hi mere sawal ka jawab haan mein de diya.

"Ye bhi toh ho sakta hai ke Ravi subah subah yun hi ghoomne nikla ho? Ya jogging karne?"

"Nahi, vo jogging wale kapdo mein the nahi. Shirt pent pehen rakhi thi aur neeche leather wale joote aur ...."

"Aur kya?"

"Aur vo chal aise rahe the jaise kisi ke pichhe ja rahe hon. Bhaag toh nahi rahe the par kaafi jhapat kar chal rahe the jaise jaldi mein hon. Meri bagal se guzre toh maine good morning kaha par meri toh unhone jaise suni hi nahi. Apne hi khyaalon mein khoye aage ki taraf chale gaye"

"Toh tumhein ye darr tha ke agar kisi ko tumne ye baat batayi toh sabko yahi lagega ke Ravi us ladki ka pichha kar raha tha?"

Usne haan mein sar hilaya.

"Par us waqt toh Ravi khud bhi gayab tha. Kya tumhein ye nahi laga ke ho sakta hai is baat ko batane se shayad Ravi ko dhoondhne mein madad milti?"

"Ye baat agar main kehta toh Ravi Sahab ka naam us jaisi ladki ke saath judta, badnami hoti"

"Aur tumne apni zubaan band rakhi. Par tumhein kaise pata ke sunanda kaisi ladki thi? Abhi toh tum keh rahe the ke tumhein uske baare mein pehli baar pata hi newspaper mein photo dekh kar chala?"

"Uske baad mein ghar ke ek do naukar ko tasveer dikha kar puchha ke vo us ladki ko jaante the kya? Paas ke gaon ki hi thi aur yahan sab naukar aas paas ke gaon se hi hain. Unmein se ek ne pehchan kar bataya ke vo dono maan beti kis tarah ka kaam karte the"

"Hmmmm. Tumhein lagta hai ke Sunanda yahan Rana Sahab ke ghar se bachkar bhaag rahi thi?"

"Nahi yahan ek hafta agar vo hoti toh pata zaroor chalta. Aur uper se us subah main gate ka lock maine hi khola tha aur uske baad se gate par watchman betha tha, usne kisi ko yahan se jaate nahi dekha"

"Zaroori nahi ke ghar mein hi ho. Ravi vahan pichhe guest house bhi toh use karta tha apne liye. Ho sakta hai usne vahan rakha ho Sunando ko?"

Jawab mein Liyaqat ne sirf pata nahi ke andaaz mein kandhe uchka diya.

"Ek baat aur, tumne jab mujhse pehli baar baat ki us waqt mujhe ye sab kyun nahi bataya?"

"Usi darr se jis darr se 20 saal pehle kisi ko nahi bataya tha"

"Aur ab kyun bata rahe ho?"

"Kyunki 20 saal se ye kissa chala aa raha hai. Ravi Sahab khud toh chale gaye par vo har kisi ke dimag mein abhi bhi base hue hain. Har koi 20 saal se ye jaanna chahta hai ke kya hua tha us din aur kahan gaye vo. Aur un logon mein main khud bhi shaamil hoon. Main bas ab is qisse ko khatam karna chahta hoon. Memsahab ne aapko itni ummeedon se milaya hai, umar ke aakhri padav par hain vo aur is umar mein ek maan ka haq banta hai ke use pata chale ke uske bete ke saath kya hua tha"





"Ok" Maine apna notepad khola, "Ye subah kitne baje ki baat hai?"

"Yahi koi 6 baje ke aas paas"

"Tum ghar se kitne baje nikle the?"

"Takreeban 5.15 ke kareeb, subah ki namaz padhkar"

"Aur usi waqt tumne ghar ka main gate bhi khola tha?"

"Ji haan"

"Un dino Ravi kahan reh raha tha, yahin ghar mein ya vo us guest house mein?"

"Unka aisa kuchh pakka nahi the, ek din yahan rehte the toh agle din vahan"

"Jis roz vo gayab hua usse pichhle din kahan tha?"

"Guest house, do teen din se vahin the. Khane khane bhi ghar nahi aate the, vahin bhijva diya jata tha"

"Kuchh yaad hai ke khana ek aadmi layak ja raha tha ya do aadmi kha sake itna?"

"Ab ye toh sach bataoon toh yaad nahi. Ab ye mujh aur aap jaise middle class aadmi ka ghar toh hai nahi ke andaze se khana banega ke kitne khane wale hain taaki kuchh bekaar na jaaye aur ghar ka ration faaltu kharch na ho"

"Matlab?"

"Matlab ke yahan agar kisi ek aadmi ka bhi chicken khane ka dil kar raha ho toh poora murga kata jata hai, phir vo insaan usmein se sirf ek leg piece khata hai aur baaki ka ya toh naukar le jaate hain ya phenk diya jata hai"

"Hmmmmm"

"Toh Ravi Sahab ke saath bhi aisa hi tha. Ghar mein jo bana hota toh sab dishes jaati thi. Jitna vo khate the kha lete the aur baaki ka naukar vaapis le aate the"

"Koi khaas vajah ke vo un dino khana vahin kyun khata tha?"

"Sahab se kuchh dino se unki kaha-suni chal rahi thi"

"Mr. Rana?"

"Ji haan"

"I thought kaha suni sirf us din hui thi jis din vo gayab hua tha?"

"Us din bhi hui thi. Us din actually kuchh zyada hi garma garmi ho gayi thi, behas is had tak chali gayi ke unki aawaz ghar ke har naukar ne suni. Par baat asal mein usse kuchh din pehle se hi bigdi hui thi"

"Kitne din pehle se?"

"Takreeban mahina pehle se"

"Aur tumhein ye baat kaise pata?"

"Kayi baar Sahab aur Ravi Sahab ko gusse mein baat karte dekha, dheemi aawaz mein aur phir mujhe aata dekh kar chup ho jaate the"

"Mrs. Rana ko pata hai ye baat?"

"Ji haan"

"Unhone bataya nahi. Mujhe toh unhone sirf ye kaha ke jis din Ravi gayab hua tha usi din kuchh behas hui thi"

"Ab kyun nahi bataya ye toh vahi jaane par baat asal mein mahina bhar se bigdi hui thi"

"Ok, toh tumne raaste mein Sunanda aur Ravi ko dekha aur phir tum ghar aa gaye"

"Ji haan"

"Kitne baje"

"6.15 ya 6.30 ke aas paas"

"Phir?"

"Phir main ghar ke kaamo mein lag gaya. Takreeban 11 baje ke kareeb Mem-Sahab ne kaha ke unhein Solan jana hai aur mujhe gaadi taiyyar karne ko kaha"

"Kitne baje nikle yahan se?"

"12 ke aas paas"

"Tum, Mrs. Rana aur Raj?"

"Ji haan"

"Subah jab Ravi gaya toh vaapis kab aaya phir?"

"Jab tak ham log Solan ke liye nikle tab tak vaapis nahi aaye the"

"Subah ka gaya dopahar tak nahi aaya?"

"Nahi"

"Ok, Phir?"

"Phir ham log Solan pahunche, Madam ko kuchh shopping karni thi vo unhone kari aur ham vaapis aa gaye"

"Vahan kuchh aisa hua ho jo ajeeb laga ho?"

"Nahi vahan toh nahi par jab ham Chail se nikal rahe the toh ek jagah mujhe Ravi Sahab aur unka dost Kanha baat karte hue dikhe"

"Yahi raaste mein sadak ke kinare, Kanha ke ghar se zara door"

"Tum log ruke?"

"Nahi vo zara sadak se thoda hatke khade the, shayad Memsahab ne unhein dekha hi nahi. Vo aur Raj Sahab pichhe ki taraf bethe the gaadi mein"

"Baat karne ke andaaz se kuchh laga?"

"Nahi kuchh khaas nahi. Thoda door khade the mujhe par jaise baat kar rahe the usse yahi lag raha tha ke kisi bade mudde par baat kar rahe hain"

"Jab tum Solan pahunche toh Raj poora time tumhare saath hi tha?"

"Ji haan"

"Vahan koi mila ho, kisi se baat hui ho? Raj kahin gaya ho thodi der ke liye?"

"Nahi, na koi mila aur na hi Raj Sahab kahin gaye"

"Aur vaapis kitne baje aaye?"

"Shaam ke 5 baje"

 

[The Immortal]

"5 baje?"

"Ji haan"

"Yahan se Solan tak jaane aane aur thodi der vahan shopping karne ke liye 5 ghante? Solan toh kareeb hi hai na? Uhar Kaali ke Tibbe se nazar aata hai neeche valley mein"

"Haan hai toh nazdeek hi"

"Phir 5 ghante?"

"Sadak idhar abhi kuchh saal pehle tak hi itni theek hui hai. Un dino sadak koi khaas nahi hoti thi. Pahadai ilaka hai aur uper se barish. Ek dedh ghanta toh Solan pahunchne mein hi lag jata tha"

"Hmmmmm"

"Aur phir aap bhool rahe hain ke hamare saath ek aurat shopping kar rahi thi" Usne muskurate hue kaha.

"I agree on that" Main bhi uski baat sunkar hasa. Itne waqt se main yahan tha par maine pehli baar use muskurate hue dekha tha.

"Toh aap log 5 baje vaapis aaye, phir?"

"Phir vahi jo maine aapko pehle bataya tha. Hamne gaadi bahar roki, andar aaye, Sahab ke kamre se jhagadne ki aawaz aa rahi thi. Ham logon ke aate hi Ravi Sahab ghar se bahar chale gaye aur Raj Sahab unke pichhe pichhe. Phir baarish shuru ho gayi"

"Aur uske baad se Ravi kabhi vaapis nahi aaya"

"Nahi"

"Uske baad kabhi Sunanda nazar aayi tumhein?

"Nahi, bas vo pehli aur aakhri baar tha ke maine use dekha tha. Phir kabhi nahi. Ek do baar dil mein aaya ke uski maan se mil aaoon par phir irada badal diya"

'Uski maan se, kyun?"

"Jab idhar hamari Memsahab ho dekhta tha ke kaise ek maan apne bete ke liye pareshan ho rahi hai toh aksar us ladki ka khyaal aata tha. Bhale hi vo maan beti kisi bhi tarah ka kaam karti hon, ek maan ke dil mein apni beti ke liye pyaar toh barabar hi hoga. Sochta tha ke kabhi jakar use bataoon ke maine us din uski beti ko dekha, kis haal mein dekha"

"Kya kiya kabhi aisa?"

"Nahi socha kayi baar aur phir irada badal diya"

"Kyun?"

"Kyunki use jis halat mein jis tarah se maine aakhri baar dekha tha, usse andaza laga sakte hain ke kya hua hoga. Ab uski maan ko jakar ye sab batata toh bekaar use takleef hi hoti. Filhal toh gham us bechari ko ye hoga ke beti gayab hai par kahin dil mein shayad ek aas hogi ke vo khud chali gayi hai kisi ke saaath, kahin zinda hai, salamat hai. Agar main bata deta toh ek ye ummeed bhi usse chheen leta"

"Tumne kya andaza lagaya ke kya hua hoga uske saath?" Maine use aur kuredne ki koshish ki.

"Aap sach mujhe sawal hi puchh rahe hain ya mere munh se koi aisi baat sunna chah rahe hain jo aapke matlab ki ho?" Usne fauran mera irada bhaanp liya.

"Mera kaam hi aisa hai Liyaqat" Maine muskura kar raha, "Logon ko kuredna, unse har chhoti chhoti baat puchhna jo unke khud ke mutabik ko ehmiyat na rakhti ho. Aur phir aisi hi 2 aur 2 baaton ko jodkar main 5 banata hoon"

"Toh aapki baat ka jawab ye hai ke mera andaza ek ladki ke saath zabardasti ka hai"

"Kisne ki hogi zabardasti?"

"Ab aap phir mere munh mein alfaaz daalne ki koshish kar rahe hain" Vo muskurata hua bola.

"Nahi main sirf ek sawal puchh raha hoon"

"Toh aapke sawal ka jawab ye hai ke main nahi janta. Main sach nahi janta. Main aapko nahi bata sakta ke kya Ravi Sahab us ladki ke saath zabardasti kar rahe the, kya unhone hi ek hafte se use kahin chhupa kar rakha hua tha. Mere dekhne ki haqeeat sirf itni hi hai ke maine ek ladki ko adh-nangi halat mein jaate hue dekha aur uske pichhe Ravi Sahab ko"

"Tumhein lagta hai ke Ravi uske pichhe ja raha tha?"

"Aapne mera andaza puchha, mera andaza yahi tha par kabhi ye samajh nahi aaya ke Sahab ko uske saath zabardasti karne ki ya zaroorat thi?"

"Matlab?"

"Matlab ke vo maan beti paiso ke liye yahi kaam toh karte the, toh zabardasti kyun. Kuchh paise de dete use, apni marzi se jo kehte vo karti"
Ek pal ke liye maine socha ke use Sunanda ke baare mein bataoon par uska koi fayda nahi tha. Main ise bata deta ke vo ek prostitute nahi thi par yahan toh saara ilaaka yahi manta hai, main kis kisko samjhata phirunga.

"TUmhein kya lagta hai, vo zinda hai kahin ya mar gayi"

"Andaza ye hai ke mar chuki hai aur dua meri ye hai ke kahin zinda ho"

"Dua?"

"Mushkil se 22-23 saal ki umar thi us bachchi ki us waqt. Bhale hi vo kaisi bhi thi, kaisa bhi kaam karti thi par kisi majboori ke rehte hi karti hogi, marzi se koi aisa kaam kyun kare bhala"

Uski baat sunkar ek pal ke liye mere dil mein aaya ke use bade sheharon ki haqeeqat bataoon jahan ladkiyan ab aise kaam marzi se hi karti hain, aasan paisa kamane ke liye.

"Use bhi haqt tha ke apni zindagi ko poori jeekar jaati aur kisi ko koi haq nahi tha ke usse ye haq chhene" Vo apni baat jaari rakhta hua bola, "Toh meri toh dua yahi hai ke vo us din jis bhi halat mein thi, nikal gayi ho aur salamat ho kahin"

Liyaqat ke jaane ke baad main soch mein pad gaya. Agar uski baat maanta toh Ravi Sunanda ke saath zor zabardasti kar raha tha par phir ye samajh nahi aata ke vo is halat mein kaise thi ke saamne se dekhne par Liyqat ko andaza hi nahi hua ke uske jism par kapda nahi hai? Vo bhale hi chhup kar par chal toh sadakh par hi rahi thi? Agar vo kahin hafte bhar se band thi aur bachkar bhaag rahi thi toh aise mein insaan sabse pehle madad ke liye pukarta hai. Vo Liyqaqt ke paas se guzri aur madad nahi maangi? Kya vo jaanti thi ke Liyaqat Ravi ke yahan kaam karta hai? Kya isliye dar kar madad nahi maangi? Par phir Liyaqat ko dekh kar vo bhaagi bhi toh nahi, aaram se uski bagal se guzar gayi.
Abhi main soch hi raha tha ke mera phone baj utha. Maine call receive ki toh aawaz ek aurat ki thi.

"Sahab main Sunanda ki maan bol rahi hoon"

"Hanji kahiye"

"Vo aapne kaha tha ne mujhe kuchh mile toh aapko phor karun?"

"Ji haan"

"Mila hai mujhe kuchh jo shayad aapki madad kare"

"Kya?"

"Ek letter jaisa hai kuchh"

"Yaar Negi Bhai bhookh lagi hai, kahin ruk kar kuchh khaya jaaye?" Ham gaadi mein bethe toh maine Negi se kaha.

"Haan zaroor, idhar thoda aage hi ek dhaba hai, vahin rukte hain" Kehkar usne gaadi vaapis ghuma li.

"He said a dhaba" Kamini meri taraf dekh kar boli.

"So?"

"So its a dhaba, not a fancy restaurant and you didnt object to it"

"Haan toh theek hai na, kya farak padta hai. Bhookh mein toh gullar bhi pakwaan lagte hain"

"Am i missing something? Tum kabse ye roadside dhaabe vagerah pe khane lag gaye"

"Times change, situations change, people change" Maine uski taraf muskura kar dekha.

"Time and situation didnt change what i want to change about you" Usne serious andaaz mein meri taraf dekhte hue kaha.

Main janta tha ke vo kis baare mein baat kar rahi hai aur uski baat ka mere paas koi jawab nahi tha isliye chup hi raha.

"Kuchh pata chala sir?" Negi ne gaadi chalate hue puchha.

"Haan kaafi kuchh" Maine dil hi dil mein uska shukriya ada kiya ke usne topic kuchh aur chhed diya, "I am pretty sure Sunanda aur Ravi ka ek saath gayab hona was not a mere co-incidence"

"Aapka matlab dono baatein connected hain"

"Thats right. In dono ki gumshudgi ki vajah mujhe poora yakeen hai ke ek hi hai. Bas ab ye samajhna hai ke vo kya baat thi jo Ravi aur Sunanda ko jodti thi, jis din ye baat pata chal gayi ye saara mamla sulajh jaayega"

"Kya lagta hai Sir, zinda hain dono ya nahi?"

"Sach kahun toh 50/50 chances hain par ek baat toh tay hai. Agar zinda hain dono toh jahan kahin bhi hain saath hain aur agar mar chuke hain toh ek hi vajah se mare hain"

"Aapka matlab vo dono aapas mein....?"

"Right. Andhesha toh yahi hai mera ke dono aapas mein involved the"

"Vo kaise Sir?"

"Sunanda ka kisi ladke ke saath chakkar tha jiske baare mein vo apni maan ko bata chuki thi par Ladke ka naam batane se katra rahi thi. Shayad use darr tha ke agar ye baat bahar hui toh problem ho sakti hai. Phir vo ek din ghar se nikalti hai aur vaapis nahi aati. Uske ek hafte baad hi Ravi gayab ho jata hai. Is situation mein agar do aur do jodkar 4 karna mushkil nahi hai"

"Kanha bhi toh ho sakta hai" Achanak pichhe bethi Kamini boli, "Vo bhi toh mara hai kuchh din baad hi"

"Nahi Kanha ke hone ke chances nahin hain itne"

"Kyun?"

"Pehli baat toh ye ke agar ladka Kanha hota toh Sunanda ghar mein apni maan ko bata deti, society ka sochke itna ghabrati nahi"

"Par considering ke maan beti ki kya reputation thi, vo ghabra bhi sakti thi"

"Nahi agar maan beti ki reputation ke baare mein socha jata toh phir Kanha apne ghar mein apne baap se baat karne mein katrata, Sunanda nahi"

"Yeah i guess" Vo haami bharti hui boli.

"Plus, Sunanda ko gaane ka shauk tha"

"Yeah how is that related? I was wondering when you asked that question but then forgot to ask you"

"That is how they met"

"Ravi aur Sunanda?"

"Yes. Ravi ko bhi music ka shauk tha aur Sunanda ko bhi. Mujhe poora yakeen hai ke isi shauk ke chalte dono ki mulaqat hui and they both fell in love. Ravi kisi music school vagerah jata tha aur vahin mila hoga Sunanda se. And that reminds mein ke main ye baat puchhna bhool hi gaya ke Sundanda kisi aise school mein gayi thi kya"

"Yeah that makes sense"

"Sahi ja rahe ho Sir" Meri baat sunkar Negi muskurata hua bola.

"Vaise aapse bhi ek kaam hai"

"Haanji zaroor"

"Ye pata karna hai ke yahan aas paas kis bank mein locker service available hai. Ya koi aisi company jo locker ya vault vagerah provide karati ho"

"Chal jaayega Sir. Aajkal toh takreeban har bank mein hi hota hai ye system"

"Right par pata ye karna hai ke 20 saal pehle kaun se bank mein tha"

"20 saal pehle?"

"Right"

"Us waqt toh sir bank bhi ginti ke hi hote the vo bhi sarkari. Mujhe nahi lagta ke us waqt kisi bank mein yahan thi ye facility par puchh loonga"

"Bank mein nahi agar toh kisi gym vagerah mein pata kariye ya kisi club mein. Sirf ameer log jahan jaate hain us type ke club"

"Ek baat batao" Kamini ne kaha, "Agar tha bhi aisa koi locker toh 20 saal pehle tha. Ab tak thode hi hoga mujood and kya guarantee hai is baat ke Ravi ke gharwalo ne uske gayab hone ke baad locker khaali nahi kiya hoga"

"Koi guarantee nahi hai par pata karne mein kya harj hai. Mil gaya kuchh toh theek varna toh vaise bhi filhal haath mein koi solid lead nahi hai"

Kuchh der baad Negi ne ek chhote se dhaabe ke paas lakar gaadi rok di.

"Aaiye sir, pet puja ho jaaye" Vo muskurata hua bola.

main ne bhi yehi kaha k music donon ko passand tha to uss vajah se donon mile honge

Chapter 12 : The Unfaithful Wife


Us din jo hua tha vo kehne ko toh bas ek incident hi tha aur ise dekhne ke hazaar nazariye ho sakte the. Ye zaroori nahi tha ke jo aadmi us din Renuka ke saath tha vo uska lover hi ho jiske saath vo mujhse dhokha de rahi thi. Vo aadmi koi bhi ho sakta tha, ek dost, ek colleague ya koi aur. Aur sach kahun toh mujhe is baat ne itna pareshan nahi kiya ke vo kisi ladke ke saath thi. Jo baat mere dil se lagi vo ye thi ke usne mujhse jhooth bola tha. Lakh koshish ke baad bhi main us din ke jhooth ko apne zehan se nikal nahi paya. Jaise uske ek jhooth ne ek bahut hi oonchi deewar se khadi kar di thi ham dono ke beech.

Us din ke baad main kaafi kata kata sa rehne laga tha usse. Vo sawal karti toh ek ya do line ke jawab deta, vo hasti toh bas ek nakli si muskurahat apne chehre par le aata. Kayi baar socha ke usse baat karun us din ke baare mein par chah kar bhi aisa nahi kar paya. Aur iski vajah mere apne dil mein chhupa chor tha. Main faisla hi nahi kar pa raha tha ke kya sahi hai aur kya galat.

Uske chehre ki taraf dekhta toh apne uper sharam aati. Vo ek layak biwi ki tarah meri har zaroorat ka khyaal rakhti. Aksar office se aane ke baad khud apne haathon se mere liye khana banati, agar main office se late aata toh intezaar karti aur mere bina khana na khati. Raat ko bistar par kisi tote ki tarah apne poore din ka haal mujhe sunati. Uski aankhon mein ek ajab masoomiyat si hoti thi jo mujhe apne aapko kosne par majboor kar deti thi ke kitna gir gaya hoon main. Us din jo hua uske baare mein baat karne ke bajaay apni biwi par shak kar raha hoon. Par phir agle hi pal jab khyaal aata ke kis tarah se usne mera phone kata tha, mujhse jhooth bola tha aur jab maine baar baar phone kiya toh apna phone band kar diya tha toh mera gussa phir sar chadh kar bolne lagta.

Dil hi dil mein main usse anjaane mein itna door ho gaya tha ke khud use haath lagana toh door ki baat, raat ko bistar par jab vo khud pehal karti toh main mana kar deta. Aksar jab vo bistar par khisak kar mere kareeb aati toh main doosri taraf karwat badal kar so jata tha.

Us din ke lagbhag 3 hafte baad ki baat hai. Main office se apne ghar pahuncha toh Renuka ghar par akeli thi. Jaise hi darwaza khol kar main andar daakhil hua vo bhaagti hui mere kareeb aayi aur mujhse lipat kar rone lagi.

"Kya hua?" Use yun rota dekh main ek pal ke liya apna sara gussa bhool gaya aur fauran uske uljhe baal suljhata hua bola.

Jawab mein vo mere seene mein apna sar chhupaye khamoshi se subakti rahi.

"Kya hua beta?" Maine uska chehra apni taraf uthaya. Un aankhon mein mote mote aansoo dekh ek pal mein har fasla jaise apne aap mit gaya.

"Nahi kuch nahi" Usne sar hilate hue kaha.

"Phir ro kyun rahi ho?"

Jawab mein usne mere haath mein ek plastic ki dandi jaisa kuchh thama diya.

"Kya hai ye?"

"Pregnancy test"

"What?"

"I missed my period this month"

Vo kya keh rahi thi achanak mujhe samajh aaya.

"WHAT !!! ?" Main bhi uske saath khush hota hua bola.

"Ye toh khushi ke aansoo hain. We are going to have a baby" Vo haste hue boli.

Main use apni baahon mein lekar jhoom utha. Mujhe yaad hi nahi raha ke aaj subah tak main usse kitna naraz tha. Use bas apni baahon mein bhar kar uske sar ko choom liya.

Tab hi achanak phone ki ghanti bajne par ham dono ek doosre se alag hue. Renuka ne aage badhkar phone uthaya. Shayad uske office se koi tha aur vo phone par hi kisi presentation ko lekar baat karne lagi. Main bedroom ki taraf change karne ke liye badh gaya.

"Suno, mere bag mein ek green color ka notepad hai, vo lete aaoge?" Living room se uski aawaz aayi.

Maine aage badhkar uska bag khola aur notepad nikal kar use de aaya. Bedroom mein vaapis daakhil hua toh zameen par ek kagaz ka tukda gira dikha jo shayad ya toh Renuka ke bag se tab nikal kar gira tha jab maine notepad nikala ya phir shayad notepad ke andar hi rakha hua tha aur nikal kar gir gaya tha. Maine aage badhkar vo paper uthaya aur meri poori duniya mujhe ek baar phir bikharti hui nazar aane lagi.

Vo ek hotel ka bill tha. Hotel Sunrise. Ye ek 5 star hotel tha aur jis mall mein maine us din Renuka ko dekha tha, us Mall mein hi ye hotel bhi tha. Maine date check ki. Bill usi din ka tha. Ek kamra book kiya gaya tha hotel mein aur ye uska bill tha. Ab samajh aa raha tha ke vo us din achanak mall mein gayab kaise ho gayi thi aur main dhoondh kyun nahi paya tha. Main jab mall ke dhakke khata ghoom raha tha tab tak toh vo dono ek hotel ke kamre ke andar band ho chuke the.

"We are going to have a baby" Renuka ke thode der pehle bole shabd mere kaano mein ek baar phir goonje, "I missed my period this month"

Par ab mere dimag mein sirf ek hi sawal ghoom raha tha.

"Kya ye bachcha mera hai?"

Pehle dimag mein sirf shak tha ke, ek halka sa khyaal ke kahin Renuka mujhe dhokha toh nahi de rahi. Ek sawal beth gaya tha dimag mein ke us din uske saath vo ladka kaun tha. Kya vo sirf koi pehchan wala aadmi tha, Renuka ka koi dost tha ya usse zyada? Agar sirf dost tha toh us din mujhse jhooth bolne aur mera phone na uthane ki kya vajah thi aur agar vo dost se zyada tha toh kabse chal raha tha ye?

Par us din vo hotel ka bill haath lagne ke baad shak yakeen mein badal gaya. Mujhe is baat par bharosa ho gaya tha ke Renuka mujhe dhokha de rahi hai.

Vo jab bhi meri aankhon ke saamne hoti toh baar baar dil mein yahi khyaal aata ke kya hua hoga us din hotel mein? Kya karne gayi thi vo uske saath? Sone gayi thi? Kabse chal raha hai ye meri peeth ke pichhe? Aur sabse bada sawal ye ke kya vo bachcha mera tha?

Jab vo haskar mere gale lagti toh mujhe ghinn aane lagti? Mere kareeb hoti toh mujhe chid si hone lagti. Jab vo khilkhila kar hasti toh dil mein yahi khyaal aata ke isi tarah milkar haste honge dono mujhpar ke kis tarah se bevakoof pati ko koi andaza nahi ke uske peeth pichhe kya ho raha hai. Jab raat ko vo mere kareeb hokar soti toh main yahi sochta ke isi tarah se ye us ladke ki baahon mein bhi soti hogi.

Aur sach kahun toh is khyaal ko kaafi had tak badhava us Renuka ne bhi diya jise main college mein janta tha, jo hamesha ladko se ghiri rehti thi. Har ladke ke dil mein basti thi, har ladke ki khwahish thi.

"Aakhir aa hi gayi na vaapis apni asli aukat par" Use dekhkar main aksar sochta aur apna chehra doosri tarah ghuma leta.

Magar itna sab hone ke baad bhi main Renuka se is baare mein baat nahi kar paya. Dil hi dil mein kudhta raha, jalta raha par kabhi usse sidha sawal nahi kar paya. Iski sabse badi vajah mere apne maan baap hi the. Jaldi hi sabko pata chal gaya ke vo pregnant hai aur ghar mein ek khushi ki lehar daud gayi. Vo jaise sabki aankhon ka tara ban gayi. Mere maan baap apne hone wale pehle pote ya poti ko lekar bahut khush the aur main achhi tarah janta tha ke is tarah ki koi bhi baat uthane ka matlab hai ghar mein aag lagana, apne maan baap ki khushiyon ko nazar laga dena. Vo sara din Renuka ki dekh bhaal aur uska dulaar karte rehte aur main apne dil ki baat ko dil mein daba kar reh gaya.

Aur usse baat na kar paane ki doosri vajah main khud hi tha. Main usse be-intehaan mohabbat karta tha aur ye mohabbat lakh koshish ki baad bhi nafrat mein nahi badal saki. Haan naraz tha main usse, gussa tha uske upar ke usne aisa kyun kiya par ye gussa kabhi nafrat mein nahi badal saka. Ek darr mere dil apne dil mein bhi tha ke agar main galat saabit hua toh? Agar mera shak sirf shak hi nikla toh? Agar is poore vaakiye ko dekhne ka mera nazariya galat nikla toh?

Aur iska anjaam main bahut achhi tarah janta tha. Agar maine Renuka par anguli utha di, uske charitra par anguli utha di, apne hone wale bachche ko najayaz bata diya toh matlab saaf tha. Main Renuka aur apne bachche se door toh hota hi, apne maan baap aur rishtedaar sabki nazron mein gir jata.

Aur sabse pehle khud apni hi nazar mein gir jata.

Renuka ke pregnant hone ke kuchh din baad hi mera birthday tha. Ek chhoti si party rakhi gayi. Sab dost aur rishtedaar ghar par maujood the. Cake kaatne se thodi der pehle main apne kamre mein sheeshe ke aage khada taiyyar ho raha tha ke Renuka pichhe se aayi aur mere gale mein baahen daal mujhse satkar khadi ho gayi.

"You know that i love you, right?" Usene mujhse puchha

"Until now i believed that, i dont anymore" Dil hi dil mein maine uske sawal ka jawab diya, "I dont know who you love anymore Renuka, me or someone else. I dont know who you are anymore"

"I bought you a little something" Vo mujhse alag hui aur almari khol kar ek chhota sa packet lekar aayi.

"Kya hai?" Maine be-dili se puchha.

"Khol kar dekho" Usne packet mere haath mein thama diya aur kisi chhoti bachchi ki tarah chehakte hue meri taraf dekhne lagi.

Packet ke size ke hisaab se main andaza laga chuka tha ke andar kya hoga. Khola toh mere andaza sahi nikla. Andar ek bahut hi mehengi ghadi thi.

"I saw you looking at this watch online a few days ago, i know you wanted it so i ordered it" Vo khush hote hue boli, "You like it?"

"Of course i like it" Maine jawab diya. Vo sach keh rahi thi, kuchh din pehle hi ek din main internet par betha is ghadi ko dekh raha tha, kharidne ki soch raha tha. Usne shayad mujhe aisa karte dekh liya hoga aur mere baad online jakar vo ghadi order kar di hogi.

"And this is my second gift to you" Kehte hue usne mera haath pakda aur apne pet par rakh diya.

"Really?" Mere dil mein phir khyaal utha, "Is it mine really? Kya sach mera hi hai ye bachcha? Kya ye hamare pyaar ki nishani hai ya tumhari bewafai aur badchalni ki nishani hai?"

Par ek baar phir maine use kuchh nahi kaha. Birthday celebrate kiya gaya, cake kata gaya aur sab log laut gaye. Raat ko main aur Renuka apne kamre mein aaye aur so gaye.

Waqt ka andaza nahi par hamein soye hue zyada waqt nahi hua tha ke kisi aawaz se meri aankh khul gayi. Main uthkar bethne hi wala tha ke phir Renuka ke hasne ki aawaz sunkar thithak gaya. Vo phone par kisi se baat kar rahi thi.

"Haramzadi" Maine zindagi mein pehli baar use gaali di, "Mere bistar par leti, mere bagal mein leti apne yaar se baat kar rahi hai"

Maine aankhen band ki aur chup chap leta raha. Vo bahut halki si aawaz mein baat kar rahi thi, lagbhag khusphusa hi rahi thi. Par kuchh lafz the jo mujhe saaf sunai diye aur jiske baat usne phone rakh diya.

"I know that yaar, tum par toh main aankh band karke bharosa kar sakti hoon. You know how dear you are to me" Kehkar vo hasi, phir dheere se kuchh kaha jo mujhe samajh nahi aaya aur phone kaat diya.

Usne baad vo toh sukoon se karwat badal kar so gayi par mujhe poori raat neend nahi aayi. Poori raat main nafrat ki aag mein jalta raha.

Haan vo pehli baar tha ke mujhe apne dil mein uske liye nafrat mehsoos hui.

I am sure k eisa kuch nahin hai. Usski biwi ussko koyi bhi dhoka nahin de rahi hai. Ussko ghalat faimi hui hai. I am sure.

 

[Casinar]

Uske agle hi din meri maan ke zor daalne par Renuka ne office se maternity leave le li. Halanki vo abhi sirf mushkil se ek mahina pregnant thi par meri maan ne use office jaane se saaf mana kar diya. Uske office wale bhi is shart par maan gaye ke vo rozana kuchh ghante ke liye ghar se kaam karegi.

Jahan mere maan baap is baat ko lekar behad khush the vahin mere toh jaise armano par pani phir gaya tha. Kahin apne dil mein main is baat par yakeen kar chuka tha ke Renuka ki kokh mein pal raha bachcha mera nahi tha. Hamare ghar mein ek naya member judne wala tha aur har koi bas usi ki taiyyari mein laga hua tha. Sara din ghar mein kabhi is baat par charcha rehti ke ladka hoga ya ladki toh kabhi is baat par ke bachche ka naam kya rakhenge. Jab bada ho jaayega toh kaun se school mein bhejenge, bada hokar vo kya banega vagerah vagerah. Par mere dimag mein in sabse hatkar ek alag hi soch badhti ja rahi thi.

Sabse badi baat jo mujhe pareshan kar rahi thi vo ye thi ke us din Renuka ke saath vo ladka kaun tha. Kaun tha jo meri bagal se meri biwi ko nikal le gaya aur mujhe khabar tak nahi hui. Peshe se main ek investigative journalist tha, is tarah ki baatein pata lagana mera kaam tha. Maine faisla kiya tha ke agle kuchh din tak Renuka par nazar rakhunga, uski har movement ka pata lagaoonga ke kahan jaati hai, kisse milti hai aur kitna waqt kahan guzarti hai. Par uske maternity leave lene ke baad mera ye plan fail ho gaya. Usne maternity leave kya li, ghar se toh usne jaise nikalna hi chhod diya. Bas sara din ghar par meri maan ke saath bethi baatein karti rehti thi aur agar ghar se nikalti bhi toh maan ke saath. Kayi baar chupke se maine un dono ka pichha kiya ye sochkar ke shayad vo maan ko kuchh bahana banakar chori se us ladke se mile par aisa kuchh hua nahi. Vo jis kaam se nikalte the nipta kar ghar vaapis aa jaate the. Na toh vo maan se alag hoti thi aur na hi beech mein kahin koi use milta tha.

Doosri baat ye ke main pata lagana chahta tha ke bachcha mera hai ya nahi. Yun toh mujhe yakeen tha ke bachche ka baap main nahi hoon par phir bhi apne dil ki tasalli ke liye ek baar confirm karna chahta tha. Kuchh doctors se maine pata kiya toh jawab ye mila ke is tarah ka test karne ke liye kuchh mahine wait karna padega. Pregnancy ke shuru ke dino mein is tarah ka koi test nahi kiya ja sakta.

Par pareshani ki baat ye thi ke aisa koi test karaya kaise jaaye. Zahir si baat thi ke main asal vajah toh Renuka ko bata nahi sakta tha. Jo bhi karna tha use bina bataye karna tha. Par phir iske liye kisi aise doctor ki bhi zaroorat thi jo is kaam merin khamoshi se mera saath de. Mere saath saath vo bhi Renuka se jhooth bole ke normal koi test kar raha hai aur baad mein nateeja chahe kuchh bhi ho, bachcha mera ho ya na ho, is baat ko bahar na nikalne de, sirf apne tak rakhe.

Renuka ki jasoosi karne ka ab mere paas sirf ek hi tareeka tha. Uske phone aur laptop ko track karna. Kayi baar maine uska phone utha kar contact list, call list aur inbox mein messages dekhe par aisa kuchh nahi mila jo mujhe uske aashiq ka naam aur pata bata sakta. Vo jo bhi kar rahi thi bahut hi hoshiyari se kar rahi thi aur mere paas sivaay uske phone aur laptop ko track karne ke aur koi rasta nahi bacha tha. Kaam mushkil nahi tha. Ek aadmi tha meri pehchan mein jo ye mere liye kar sakta tha, Akram Ballebaaz.

"Kya haal hain sarkar, bade din baad idhar ka rasta bhoole" Main Akram se milne gaya toh vo bahut hi garam joshi se mujhse mila.

Uska naam Akram Ballebaaz kyun tha ye koi nahi janta tha sivaay uske aur vo kisi ko batata nahi tha. Asli naam kya tha ye bhi koi nahi janta tha aur sab use bas Akram Ballebaaz hi keh kar bulate the. Yahan tak ke uske driving licence aur passport par bhi uska naam Akram Ballebaaz hi tha. Aage pichhe uska koi nahi tha aur koi nahi janta tha ke vo kaun tha, kahan se aaya tha par aadmi kaam ka tha. Bina kisi degree aur formal education ke computers aur electrical gadgets ki bahut hi zabardast knowledge thi use.

"Ek kaam tha yaar" Maine kaha.

"Bataiye kiski jasoosi karni hai ab" Vo bola, "Par pehle ye bataiye ke garam lenge ya thanda"

Ye bhi uski bahut purani aadat thi. Apne paas aane wale har insaan ko kuchh khila pila kar zaroor bhejta tha, bhale hi saamne wala lakh mana karta rahe. Isse pehle bhi jab bhi main usse mila toh kuchh kha pikar hi nikla, bhale hi mera dil ho ya na ho. Is waqt bhi main janta tha ke mana karke kuchh haasil nahi hoga isliye khamoshi se use kuchh thanda laane ke liye bol diya. Usne phone uthaya aur kisi ko 2 cold drinks aur samose laane ko kaha.

"Ek baat bata Akram"

"Kahiye"

"Tu sala sara din yahan betha khata rehta hai aur phir bhi hai single pasli?"

Aur ye haqeeqat bhi tha. Vo apne office mein betha sara din bhains ki tarah jugali karta rehta tha par phir bhi itna dubla tha ke agar hawa chale toh udne ka darr ho jaaye.

"Allah ka karam samajh lijiye bas" Usne haskar jawab diya.

"Achha ek toh mujhe ek sim ka clone chahiye" Main matlab ki baat par aate hue kaha.

"Ho jaayega"

"Aur doosra mujhe ek laptop mein koi aisa bug ya virus daalna hai jo us laptop se jaane wali har email ki ek copy mujhe forward kare. Agar Skype, Yahoo ya MSN jaisi kisi chat service ke zariye koi chat ki ja rahi ho toh vo chat save kare aur mujhe email kar de"

"Email wala toh aasan hai, vo toh mil jaayega par ye chat wala zara tricky hoga"

"Ho paayega?"

"Haan ho toh jaayega par ek do din lagenge"

"Uski tension nahi hai. Jab taiyyar ho jaaye toh bata dena main laptop leta aaoonga"

"Kiska laptop hai?"

"Hai kisi ka. Ek kaam aur karna hai, ek landline tap karna hai ke jo bhi call incoming ya outgoing us phone se ho vo kahin record ho jaaye"

"Haan ho jaayega par jaake ek chhota sa device phone ke andar bethana padega"

"Vo toh tu jab chaahe kar dena. Mera hi landline hai"

"Apna phone tap kar rahe ho?" Usne hairat se meri taraf dekhte hue puchha.

"Haan yaar" Maine jawab diya, "Karna padta hai kabhi kabhi aisa bhi?"

"Par kyun?" Usne hairani se mujhse puchha.

"Arrey aisa kuchh nahi hai, aajkal zara ajeeb ajeeb se phone aa rahe hain ghar par aur uper se mera kuchh kaam bhi aisa hai. Toh sochta hoon ke ghar par kuchh install kara loon aisa jisse ke ghar par aane wali calls track ki ja saken, conversation record ho sake"

"Haan ho jaayega, aap jab bolo main ghar aake laga jaoonga"

"Main phone kar doonga tujhe" Main nahi chahta tha ke vo ye kaam Renuka ke saamne aakar kare isliye use kisi aise time par bulana zaroori tha jab ghar par koi na ho, "Most probably kal ya parso hi"

"Ye emails aur chat ka kya chakkar hai?"

"Track kar raha hoon kisi ko, evidence chahiye hogi kuchh uska gunaah saabit karne ke liye"

"Email wala toh aasan sa hi kaam hai, ek chhota sa spyware dalna hai bas. Chat record karne wala bhi ho jaayega, thoda sa time chahiye hoga"

"Theek hai"

"Aur Bhabhi ji ke kya haal chaal hain?"Usne achanak sawal kiya.

"Theek hai vo bhi" Ek pal ke liye mere munh se nikalne hi wala tha ke vo pregnant hai par phir maine baat zubaan tak hi rok li.

Usi raat dinner ke baad jab main aur Renuka sone ke liye lete toh vo mere kareeb hokar let gayi. Maine bas ek baar uski taraf bedili se muskura kar dekha aur aankhen band kar li. Usne khud hi apna sar utha kar mere seene par rakhe aur aur meri ek bazu ko apne jism par lape-te hue mere baahon mein simat si gayi. Uska aisa karna mujhe bilkul pasand nahi aaya par man maarkar main chup chap aankhen band kiye leta raha.

"Ek baat puchhun?" Kuchh lamhon ki khamoshi ke baad vo boli.

"Hmmmm" Maine jawab mein sirf haami bhari.

"Naraz ho mujhse kya?"

"Nahi toh" Uske achanak is sawan ne mujhe aankhen khol kar uski taraf dekhne par majboor kar diya.

"Kuchh din se dekh rahi hoon ke bade kate kate se rehte ho, jaisa kuchh kehna chah rahe ho mujhse, kuchh puchhna chah rahe ho par keh nahi pa rahe. Sirf khamoshi se andar hi andar ghut rahe ho. Mujhse koi bhool ho gayi kya?"

Dil mein toh aaya ke keh doon ke tumse vo galti hui hai jiske baad har galti chhoti pad jaati hai.

"Nahi toh, aisa toh kuchh bhi nahi hai" Main sirf itna hi keh paya.

"Jaanti hoon main tumhein bahut achhi tarah" Vo vaise hi lete lete boli, "Tumhari aankhon mein dikhta hai mujhe ke koi baat pareshan kar rahi hai tumhein. Kya hua hai"

"Tumhein is tarah pareshan dekh kar jaan nikalti hai meri, please agar kuchh hai toh bata do"

"Main sach keh raha hoon aisa kuchh nahi hai" Maine jhoothi tasalli deni chahi, "Veham hai tumara. Thoda kaam vagerah ke chakkar mein phasa hua hoon isliye aisa lag raha hai tumhein"

"Is it because of the child?" Usne jaise meri baat suni hi nahi.

"Child? What do you mean?"

"Dekh rahi hoon ke jabse main bataya hai ke i am pregnant tum kuchh pareshan se ho. Maine vo ghadi lakar di thi, tumne ek baar bhi use nahi pehna. Pasand nahi aayi?"

Mujhe achanak yaad aaya ke uski laayi hui ghadi toh main bhool hi gaya tha.

"Nahi pasand toh bahut hai, you know i wanted to buy it" Mujhe samajh hi nahi aaya ke kya bahana banaoon ke main kyun ghadi ek baar bhi try nahi ki.

"If you dont want a baby right now then we dont have to do it" Usne phir baat ka rukh bachche ki taraf mod diya.

"Matlab?"

"Jabse main pregnant hoon khoye khoye se rehte ho, mere kareeb tak nahi aate. Agar bachche ko lekar pareshan ho toh we dont have to go through it. We can abort the baby"

"Kya bol rahi ho?" Mujhe uske andaaz se mehsoos hua ke vo serious thi toh main uthkar betha.

"There is nothing more imporant to me than you are. If you dont want this baby then i dont want it either" Aur ye kehte hue uski aankhen chhalak aayi. Do mote mote aansoon uski palkon se behkar uske gaalon par ludhak gaye.

Dil hi dil mein ye toh khud maine bhi kayi baar socha tha ke is bachche ko gira diya jaaye par Renuka se kaise kahun ye decide nahi kar paya. Aur ab jabki vo khud hi mere saamne bachcha girane ki baat kar rahi thi toh main ye decide nahi kar pa raha tha ke kaise react karun.

"Kuchh bolo na, kyun naraz ho?" Usne apna ek haath mere gaal par rakha.

"Main nahi hoon naraz, seriously"

"Jhooth bol rahe ho, chhupa rahe ho mujhse. Nahi batana toh mat batao par jo bhi galti hui mujhse, maaf to kar sakte ho. Please? I am sorry" Aur ye kehkar usne badi masoomiyat se kisi chhoti bachchi ki tarah apne dono kaan pakad liye.

Us ek lamhe main samajh nahi paya ke kya sahi hai aur kya galat. Hazar sawal ek baar phir dil mein umad pade. Kya mera shak sahi tha ya main bas yun hi baat ka batangad bana raha tha? Mere saamne bethi ye ladki jo bhaari palken liye apne kaan pakde mujhse maafi maang rahi thi, bina ye jaane ke vo kis baat ki maafi maang rahi hai, kya ye asal thi ya sirf ek natak? Kya is maafi mein sachchai thi ya apni bewafai ko chhupane ki koshish?

Kya vo mera pyaar tha jo use yun tadpa raha tha ya uska apna mujhe dhokha dene ka guilt jisne use is tarah maafi maangne par majboor kar diya tha? Ek pregnant aurat jo apna bachcha tak girane ko taiyyar thi meri khushi ke liye, meri mohabbat mein, kya ye haqeeat thi ya vo aurat haqeeat thi jo us din ek hotel ke band kamre mein kisi paraye mard ke saath kuchh ghante bita kar aayi thi? Kya vo bachcha isliye gira rahi thi kyunki use lagta tha main is baat se pareshan hoon aur bachcha nahi chahta? Ya isliye ke vo jaanti thi ke ye bachcha mera hai hi nahi?

Vo bachchon ki tarah kaan pakde mere saamne bethi ro rahi thi aur main bas uske chehre ki taraf dekhe ja raha tha.

Beautiful update. Ab to mujhe 100% yakeen ho gaya k Renuka bewafa nahin hai.
