"Toh ek heera juse Humraaz ke naam se bulaya jata tha 20 saal pehle chori hua tha"
"Correct" Akram ne kaha.
"Aur ham iske baare mein baat kar rahe hain kyunki .....?"
"Kyunki us heere ki chori mein ye Arora Jewellers wale prime suspect the"
"Really?"
"Haan. Ab unka naam kaise is chori se juda ya vo suspect list mein kaise aaye ye toh main filhal nahi janta par police ko poora yakeen tha ke us chori mein Sunil Arora ka haath tha"
"Sunil Arora?"
"Arora Jewellers ke malik Ramprasad Arora ka beta. Jahan tak mujhe pata chala hai, Delhi ke kaafi purane jewellers mein se ek the ye log. Us heere ki chori ke baad police ne Sunil Arora ko arrest kar liya par koi saboot na hone ki vajah se use bari kar diya gaya. Sunil toh chhut gaya par iska sidha asar unke dhandhe par pada aur saal bhar mein hi Arora Jewellers par tala lag gaya"
"Hmmmm, interesting. Phir?"
"Phir uske kuchh saal bhar baad Sunil Arora ne khudkushi kar li. Apne ghar mein pankhe se latak kar. Apne pichhe usne ek suicide note chhoda tha jismein usne apne khandan ke naam par lage kalank ke liye apne aapko doshi thehraya aur apne marne ki vajah vo sharmindi batayi jo uski vajah se uske baap ko uthani padi"
"Pakka suicide tha? Any chance of foul play?"
"Ab ye toh filhal keh nahi sakte. Main toh suni sunayi bata raha hoon"
"Ok, phir?"
"Phir bete ki maut ke sadme se Ramprasad Arora toot gaya aur kuchh arse baad vo bhi chal basa. Chapter closed"
"Aur koi family members?"
"I am not sure, shayad dhoondhne se mil jaaye koi par mere source ke hisaab se bas ek baap beta hi tha. Ramprasad ki biwi kaafi pehle chal basi thi aur bas dono baap beta hi ghar mein akele rehte the"
"Ok. Humraaz ke baare mein aur kuchh?"
"Nahi. Uske baad vo heera chori hua toh phir kabhi kisi ko mila nahi aur na hi uske baad kahin dekha gaya"
"Keemat kya rahi hogi us heere ki?"
"Exactly toh idea nahi hai par jahan tak mera andaza hai, itna keemti heera kaafi mehenga hi hoga"
"Ok, ek kaam kar. Ye Arora family se dekh agar kisi aur family member ki koi information milti hai toh"
"Theek hai Bhai"
Akram se baat karne ke baad main kuchh der tak betha uski batayi baaton par gaur karta raha. Mujhe pata hi nahi chala ke kab Kamini chup chap aakar mere pichhe khadi ho gayi.
"Good Morning sleepy head" Uski aawaz par mera dhyaan toota.
"Good morning" Maine muskura kar jawab diya, "Itni der tak mujhe sone kyun diya yaar, utha dena tha"
"Well i guessed you must be pretty tired. You were sound asleep isliye maine jagana theek nahi samjha"
"Yeah, and now i have a headache because i overslept"
"Akram kya keh raha tha?"
Maine Kamini ko apne aur Akram ki baaton ke baare mein bataya.
"It changes everything you know, everything. Ab tak jo information hamare paas hai, ab tak jo ham soch rahe hain, jo bhi theory hai, iske baad sab kuchh badal jata hai"
"So you think Ravi had anything to do with that diamond?"
"Quite possible. Kayi saari baatein ho sakti hain"
"Jaise ki?"
"Jaise ki ho sakta hai Ravi ne vo heera khud chori karaya ho, Sunil Arora sirf ek mohra raha ho sakta hai. Quite possible ke saara khel hi Ravi ka ho"
"Why would he do that, he had plenty of money already?"
"Aur paise ki khwahish kise nahi hoti, plus he was an art lover, we all know that. Ho sakta hai apne collection mein jodna chahta ho"
"And that explains the 15 crore?"
"Quite right. Ya ye bhi ho sakta hai ke Ravi yahan se nikalna chahta tha isliye usne us 15 crore ko ek chhoti si cheez mein convert kiya jo aasani se carry ki ja sake, chhupayi ja sake aur 15 crore se kahin zyada keemat ki ho"
"Yani ke chori ka maal saste mein khareed kar aage becha ja sake"
"Right. Ya toh usne chori khud hi karayi ho sakti hai ya use is chori ka maal saste mein baad mein offer kiya gaya and he accepted it"
"Toh it is possible ke vo kahin zinda ho?"
"Slim chances, hota agar vo kahin zinda toh vaapis aa jata. Vo gay tha aur Kanha ke saath yahan se nikalna chahta tha. Ab Kanha hi nahi raha toh use yahan se bhaagne ki zaroorat nahi thi. Uske khud ke paas itni daulat thi ke vo aise aur na jaane kitne heere khareed sakta tha toh Humraaz ke chakkar mein bhi yahan se bhaagne ka koi logic nahi"
"Oh man this is confusing. So what do you think?"
"I think ke usne vo heera 15 crore ki ek sasti deal mein khareeda taaki jab vo Kanha ke saath yahan se nikle toh us heere ko aage bech kar aur paise bana sake. Par aisa ho nahi saka"
"Aur vo heera hi uski maut ki vajah ban gaya?"
"Correct" Maine sochte hue jawab diya.
"Ab aage kya karna hai?" Kamini ne puchha.
"Not sure really. Kahin se kuchh banta dikhai nahi de raha. Ab tak toh main yahi soch raha tha ke ye jo bhi hua usmein Sunanda kahin na kahin involve rahi ho sakti hai par ab ye Heere wali baat ne aur zyada confusion create kar diya hai. Ab ye bhi possible hai ke jo hua vo us heere ke chakkar mein hua aur Sunanda ka us waqt is tarah gayab ho jana was just a coincidence"
"But a coincidence cant explain why she was here"
"True. Quite possible ke vo shayad Raj ke chakkar mein thi aur uske gayab hone ke pichhe Raj ka haath tha. Par is poore mamle ka kahin Ravi wale case se koi involvement nahi tha"
"Dekho ek baat toh zaahir hai" Kamini sochte hue boli, "Ye jo kuchh bhi hua, yahin pariwaar ke beech hi hua, ismein outsider toh koi ho nahi sakta"
"Matlab?"
"Matlab kise fayda tha uske yun gayab ho jaane se. Agar socho toh sabse zyada fayda Raj ka hi tha jo ke ham discuss kar chuke hain"
"Right"
"Doosre number pe aate hain Miyan Liyaqat. Hamein sirf usne bataya tha ke us subah usne Sunanda ko yahan se bhaagte dekha aur uske pichhe Ravi ko jaate dekha. Par ye kahani bani banayi bhi toh ho sakti hai, apne aapko bachane ke liye"
"Aur vo aisa kyun karega?" Maine puchha.
"Kya lagta hai umar kitni hogi iski?"
"Yahi koi 50 - 55"
"Yani aaj se 20 saal pehle 30 - 35. Ek jawan aadmi" Usne apni aankhen ko samjhane wale andaaz mein phailate hue kaha.
" Ek jawab aadmi jo khud bhi Sunanda ke saath involve raha ho sakta hai"
"Right"
"Aur Sunanda ghar par kuchh isliye nahi bata rahi thi kyunki vo Hindu thi aur Liyaqat musselman"
"Now you are talking" Kamini muskurayi.
"But that still doesnt explain the diamond and 15 crores"
"Hamein pata hi kahan hai ke heera Ravi ke haath mein aaya tha, sirf guess hi toh kar rahe hain ek visiting card aur bus ticket ki bina par"
"True"
"Sakshi Rana ke baare mein bhi soch sakte ho vaise. Ravi se pyaar karti thi, shaadi karna chahti thi par use haasil na kar saki. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Ho sakta hai gusse mein usi ne kar diya ho Ravi ka kaam"
"Quite true"
"Ya ye bhi ho sakta hai ke Kanha ne hi apne lover ka kaam tamam kar diya ho"
"Ab ye Kanha aisa kyun karega?"
"15 crore bahut hote hain"
"Come on, vo 15 crore toh anyways Ravi uske saath hi share karne wala tha hamari theory ke hisaab se"
"But kya zaroori hai ke Kanha asal mein gay tha? Ho sakta hai ke 15 crore ke chakkar mein Ravi ka lallu bana raha ho. Aur Sunanda jis ladko ko chahti thi vo asal mein Kanha tha"
"Wow" Main itna hi keh saka.
"Ho sakta hai ke un dono ka hi plan ho Ravi ko thikane lagane ka paise lene ke baad aur phir yahan se bhaag nikalne ka. Isi liye shayad Sunanda tab ghar se gayab thi aur subah yahan haweli ke paas hi dekhi gayi. Ye bhi toh ho sakta hai ke Ravi asal mein uska pichha nahi kar raha tha par uski batayi jagah par uske saath ja raha tha"
"Oh come on , if that was the case then how come Sunanda's blouse was missing? Why would she be topless?"
"Maybe she was seducing him"
"You know what, tu kuchh zyada hi dimag laga rahi hai" Main kehta hua uthne laga.
"Or maybe Ravi's father killed him himself" Vo haste hue boli.
"Shut up" Maine bina palte hi jawab diya aur kitchen ki taraf badha, "Chaai aur bachi hai kya?"
"Haan hai, ruko main garam kar deti hoon" Vo mere pichhe uthte hue aayi, "Vaise ek aur aadmi hai jiske baare mein ham bhool hi chuke hain lagbhag"
"Ab aur kaun hai?"
"Aadesh" Vo chaai ka bartan stove par rakhte hue boli.
"Oh yeah, i totally forgot about him"
"Vo jis tarah se us din hamse bachkar bhaga tha, kuchh na kuchh toh gadbad hai. I need to investigate that guy" Maine jawab diya.
"Achha ek baat seriously batao"
"Kya?"
"Raj aur Ravi judwa hain. Shakal bhi ek jaisi hai, dono bilkul same to same copy hain, exact copy ek doosre ki"
"Except for the physical disabilities, yes"
"How do you know that it was Ravi who died"
"Matlab?"
"Matlab ye bhi toh ho sakta hai ke jo mara vo Raj tha aur jo saamne hai vo Ravi hai" Chaai garam ho gayi toh vo stove band karte hue boli
"Correct" Akram ne kaha.
"Aur ham iske baare mein baat kar rahe hain kyunki .....?"
"Kyunki us heere ki chori mein ye Arora Jewellers wale prime suspect the"

"What are you talking about?" Main Kamini ki baat sunkar hairani se uski taraf dekhta hua bola.
"Think about it, it is quite possible" Usne ek doosre cup mein chaai daali.
"You mean to say ke jo mara ya gayab hua vo Raj tha aur jo asal mein hamare saamne hai vo Ravi hai?"
"Right. I know its doesnt make much sense....."
"It doesnt make any sense at all" Maine uski baat beech mein kaati, "Why would Ravi want to kill his own brother and then disguise himself as Raj?"
"Ek baat batao" Kamini ne apni baat jaari rakhi, "Isne ab tak shaadi nahi ki, right?"
"Right"
"Agar isse puchhoge toh shayad ye apni physical disabilities ko shaadi na karne ki vajah batayega"
"Yes he may"
"But socho yaar, jitni daulat iske paas hai, I mean he is one of the richese guys in India. Itni daulat hone ke baad toh Hindustan mein ye jis ladki pe haath rakhe vo haste haste isse shaadi karegi"
"Tu kehna kya chah rahi hai yaar?"
"Yahi ke ye Ravi hai, Gay hai isliye shaadi nahi kari"
"Thats nonsense" Main hasta hua bola, "Hindustan mein ladke ladki ka ratio vaise hi barabar nahi hai. 100 mein se 4-5 ladko ko toh ladki milti hi nahi, kunware hi marte hain bechare. Iska matlab ye thode hi ke vo saare gay hain"
"Main un sabki nahi iski baat kar rahi hoon"
"Pagal hai tu" Maine haskar uski baat taal di par sachchai toh ye thi ke kahin ek ye baat mere dimag mein bhi ghar kar chuki thi.
Usi din shaam ke waqt main akela Shimla pahuncha. Kamini bhi mere saath aana chahti thi par ain waqt par use Mrs. Rana ne bulva bheja jiski vajah se mujhe akela hi aana pada.
Address puchhta hua main Ganpati Travels ke office pahuncha.
Reception par Rana family ka naam bolte hi mujhe fauran Royal treatment diya gaya. Pehle pehal toh mujhe thodi jhijhak hui ke Ranas ka naam loon ya nahi kyunki ab tak is baare mein na toh maine baat Raj hi se ki thi aur na hi Mrs. Rana se par iske alawa mere paas aur koi chara bhi nahi tha. Is tarah ki high class jagahon par jo sirf ameer aur high profile logon ko serve karti hain, mujhe experience se maalum tha ke customer detail confidential hoti hai aur aasani se share nahi ki jaati.
Mujhe ek office mein le jakar bethaya gaya aur coffee serve ki gayi. Koi 10 minute ke intezaar ke baad ek 40-45 saal ki moti si aurat office mein daakhil hui.
"So, how can I help you Sir?" Mujhse milne ke baad vo desk ke doosri taraf apni jagah par ja bethi aur muskurati hui boli.
"Actually main Mrs. Rana ke behalf par kuchh information chah raha tha"
"Sure bataiye" Usne jawab diya.
Main bina kuchh kahe jeb se vo do tickets nikale jo mujhe Kanha ke kamre se mile the aur uski taraf badha diya.
"Wow, I havent seen these in a long timee" Usne tickets uthate hue kaha, "Kahan se mile aapko ye"
"Inke baare mein hi actually mujhe kuchh jaankari chahiye thi" Maine uske sawal ko nazar andaaz karte hue apni baat jaari rakhi, "Its related to her son actually"
"You mean Raj Rana?"
"No actually her other son, Ravi Rana. Main unki disappearance ko lekar investigate kar raha hoon"
Vo kuchh pal tak khamoshi se kabhi tickets ki taraf toh kabhi meri taraf dekhti rahi.
"Who did you say were?" Kuchh der baad vo shak bhari nigahon se mujhe dekhte hue boli.
"Dont worry. I am neither a policeman, nor a journalist looking for a spicy story" Maine uski nigah aur baat ka matlab samjhte hue apni jeb se apna cell phone nikala, "Aap chahen toh Mrs. Rana se baat kar sakti hain"
Vo kuchh der aur khamosh rahi jaise decide karna chah rahi ho ke phone kare ya na kare.
"That wont be necessary" 1 minute mujhe dekhte rehne ke baad vo chehre par phir vahi pehle wali smile laate hue boli, "Kahiye kya jaanna chahte hain"
"In tickets par kisne travel kiya tha?" Maine pehla sawal kiya.
"Oh I am sorry" Usne mayusi ka andaaz chehre par laate hue kaha, "That i can not tell you"
"Why not?"
"Because jabke ye tickets hain ham tab itni badi travel company nahi the"
"Matlab?"
"Matlab ye ke aapne Road Transport run buses mein travel kiya hai kabhi? Government owned"
"Ji haan"
"Toh jaisa ke unka system hota hai, aaiye, counter se ticket lijiye aur bus mein jakar beth jaaiye, Aisa hi kuchh system tab hamara hota tha" Vo samjhate hue boli, "Naam vagerah ka records us waqt ham maintain nahi karte the. Jisne travel karna hai vo on the spot ticket print karate, payment dete aur bus mein bethkar chale jaate"
"Matlab on the spot booking?"
"Ji haan"
"Par ye on the spot booking ki tickets toh nahi lagti, ispar dates likhi hui hain" Maine ticket par likhi hui travel date ki taraf ishara karte hue kaha.
"Vo toh by default print hoti thi" Usne meri baat ka jawab diya, "On the spot tickets bhi jo book hoti hain unpar us din ki date hoti hai"
"Hmmm" Maine sochte hue kaha, "Kuchh bhi bata sakti hain aap mujhe inke baare mein?"
"Let me see" Usne tickets utha kar ek baar phir dekhna shuru kiya.
"Anything at all" Maine baat poori uspar chhod di kyunki mujhe samajh hi nahi aa raha tha ke travel karne wale ke naam ke alawa aur kya sawal puchh sakta tha main.
"3 baatein" Vo kuchh der tickets ko ulat pulat kar dekhne ke baad vaapis table par rakhte hue boli.
"Kya?" Mere dil mein ummeed ki kiran jaagi.
"Ek toh ye A.C. bus ki tickets hain, kiraye ki amount dekh kar bata rahi hoon"
"Ok" Maine haami bhari, ye baat toh main khud bhi samjh hi chuka tha.
"Doosra ye dono advance booking tickets hain"
"Par abhi toh aap keh rahi thi ke on the spot booking system tha aapka"
"Right par usi mein advance booking bhi hoti thi"
"OK" Maine samajhte hue kaha, "Matlab counter par aaiye, jis din jana hai us din ka ticket le jaaiye aur us din aakar sidha bus mein beth jaaiye"
"Correct"
"Aapko kaise pata ke ye advance mein book ki gayi thi?"
"Ye dekh rahe uper" Usne ticket ke kone mein like A ki taraf ishara kiya, "Ye advance booking ki tickets par print hota tha"
"Ok, aur teesri baat?"
"Teesri baat ye ke is pehle wale ticket par trave kiya gaya tha" Usne May wale ticket ki taraf ishara kiya, "Par ye doosra ticket jo hai August ka, ispar travel nahi kiya gaya. Book hua tha par no-one actually used it"
"How do you know that?"
"Guar se dekhiye" Usne table par rakhe lamp ka munh tickets ki taraf ghumaya, "Time ke saath ink gayab ho gayi hai par is pehle ticket ke kono par ye halka neele rang ka nishan hai, par doosra wala saaf hai"
"Matlab Bus mein bethne ke baad ya bethte waqt ticket par koi stamp laga deta tha?"
"Exactly. Is pehle ticket par travel kiya gaya par doosra ticket kabhi use hua hi nahi"
Shimla se lautkar jab tak main vaapis Chail pahuncha tab tak andhera ho chuka tha.
"Itna late kahan kar diya?" Kamini ne mujhe dekhte hi sawal kiya, "Main phone kar rahi thi toh not reachable ja raha tha"
"Tujhe badi fikar ho rahi hai meri?" Maine haste hue kaha.
"Nahi honi chahiye?" Vo zara sanjeeda hote hue boli.
Main kuchh der tak khamoshi se uski taraf dekhta raha.
"Bilkul honi chahiye, tujhe nahi hogi toh kise hogi" Kuchh pal baad main bhi sanjeeda aawaz mein bola.
"Chaai loge?" Meri baat sunte hi uska chehra aise chamak utha jaise koi lottery lag gayi ho.
"Haan" Maine haami bhari toh vo kitchen ki taraf chali gayi.
"Kuchh pata chala?" Kitchen se hi usne zor se puchha.
"Khaas kuchh nahi, matlab ki ek hi baat pata chali"
"Kya?"
Maine Ganpati travels walo ke saath hui apni mulaqat ke baare mein use bataya.
"What do you think?" Maine baat khatam ki toh Kamini boli.
"Actually sach kahun toh is baat ka andaza mujhe khud bhi tha, bas vahan jakar confirmation mil gayi. Tu bata, Mrs. Rana ke saath teri mulaqat kaisi rahi?"
"Theek thaak hi thi, we just sat and talk. Totally women's talk you know. Bas idhar udhar ki baatein hoti rahi" Vo kitchen se ek cup mein chaai dalkar laayi.
"Case ke baare mein kuchh?"
"Nahi, she was more interested in our personnal lives"
"Matlab?"
"Matlab ke mujhse keh rahi thi ke ham log shaadi kab kar rahe hain"
"Really? Aur tune kya kaha?"
"Maine keh diya ke murga phasa liya hai, bas halal karna baaki hai" Vo muskurati hui boli.
"Yeah right. Ye nahi bataya ke murga khud hi halal hone ko chala aaya?" Maine bhi hasi mein uska saath deta hua bola.
"Aur puchh rahi thi ke If I had slept with you yet"
Ye baat sunkar chaai ka cup mere haath se girte girte bacha.
"Seriously, she asked that?"
"Haan aur nahi toh kya. Bhale hi kitni bhi ameer ho, hain toh aakhir vo bhi ek aurat hi na aur vo bhi purane zamane ki. Baaton baaton mein sab kuchh puchh bethi"
"Aur tu kya boli?"
"Maine bhi keh diya ke haan, main toh tumhare bachche ki maan bhi banne wali hoon"
"Bakwaas" Maine uski baat sunkar sirf itna hi kaha.
Raat ko dinner ke baad main betha TV dekh raha tha par Kamini ka jaagne ka koi irada nahi tha. Vo uthkar apne kamre ki taraf chali aur darwaze par khadi hokar meri taraf palti.
"You know what?"
"What?" Maine sawaliya nazar se uski taraf dekha.
"Agar Mrs. Rana wali baat ko sach karna chaho toh mujhe koi etraaz nahi hai" Kehte hue usne aankh maari.
"Apne kamre mein ja aur chup chap jaake so ja" Maine anguli se uske kamre ki taraf ishara kiya.
Usne munh banate hue mujhe good night kaha aur kamre mein chali gayi.
Uske jaane ke baad kuchh der tak main aur betha TV hi dekhta raha aur phir phone utha kar Akram ka number milaya.
"Bhaijaan main aapko phone karne hi wala tha" Usne phone utha kar kaha.
"Kya hua?"
"Vo Jewellers ke baare mein pata chala hai kuchh"
"Kya?"
"Chori Sunil Arora ne hi karayi thi ye usne khud police ke saamne confess kiya tha khud aur jahan se chori hui thi vahan ek camera laga hua tha jismein uski tasveer bhi aa gayi thi. Un dino CCTV cameras itne zyada use mein hote nahi the toh chori karte waqt is pehlu ki taraf usne dhyaan hi nahi diya aur ek baar paseena ponchhne ke liye apna mask halka sa uthaya. Bas vahin CCTV mein uska chehra aa gaya aur police ne trace kar liya"
"Police ko kya bataya tha usne?"
"Yahi ke chori ka plan uska hi tha aur vo phir heere ko bechne ki taak mein tha. Records ke mutaabik usne ek buyer ki confirmation hone ke baad hi chori plan out ki thi. Heera chori karke usne kisi aur ko delivery deni thi" Akram bola.
"Matlab chori kisi aur ne karaya tha?"
"Nahi Chori usne khud hi ki thi par chaalu tha. Jaanta tha ke is tarah ka heera chori karke chup chap bechna mushkil kaam tha, police ke darr se isliye usne chori ko anjaan dene se pehle hi ek buyer dhoondh rakha tha"
"Kaun tha buyer?"
"Ye nahi pata lag saka. Sunil ke hisaab se usne ek middle man ke through hi baat ki thi, asal khareed-daar saamne aaya hi nahi. Chori se pehle use kuchh advance bhi mil gaya tha"
"Hmmmmm" Maine ek pal ke liye sochne laga, "Kitne mein becha tha usne heera?"
"15 Crore" Akram ne jawab diya aur mera shak sahi saabit ho gaya.
"Heera handover kar diya tha usne?"
"Haan. Bayaan ke hisaab se kahin ISBT ke paas kisi bekaar khaali si jagah par use jaana tha. Jis jagah ki vo baat kar raha tha vo aaj se 20 saal pehle badi sunsaan si thi aur vajah koi aata jaata nahi tha, ab toh khair vahan DDA colony basi hui hai. Vo vahan pahucnah, vahan ek kude-daan ke paas bade bade kaale bags mein use cash mil gaya, usne deal ke hisaa se heera batayi hui jagah par chhod diya aur cash lekar vaapis aa gaya. Uske kuchh din baad ih police ne use arrest kar liya"
"Aur cash?"
"Cash kabhi recover ho nahi paya. Sunil yahi kehta raha ke usne vo paise apne debts chukane ke liye use kiya the par obviously vo jhooth bol raha tha"
"Toh phir vo bach kaise gaya agar khud usne confess kiya tha toh?"
"Ye uska initial statement tha police ke dande khaane ke baad jisse vo baad mein mukar gaya. Court mein keh diya ke police ne zabardasti maar peet kar likhvaya hai. 15 crore uske paas the toh vakeel bhi mehanga wala hire kiya, best in class aur case se vo saaf bach nikla. Vakeel ne court mein saare saboot circumstantial bata kar jhutla diye, tape par uske chehre ki bas ek jhalak hi thi jise vakeel ne court mein galat saabit kar diya, police koi strong case bana nahi paayi aur Sunil chhut gaya"
"Aur kuchh din baad sucicide kar li?"
"Haan" Akram ne jawab diya.
"Think about it, it is quite possible" Usne ek doosre cup mein chaai daali.
"You mean to say ke jo mara ya gayab hua vo Raj tha aur jo asal mein hamare saamne hai vo Ravi hai?"
"Right. I know its doesnt make much sense....."
"It doesnt make any sense at all" Maine uski baat beech mein kaati, "Why would Ravi want to kill his own brother and then disguise himself as Raj?"
"Ek baat batao" Kamini ne apni baat jaari rakhi, "Isne ab tak shaadi nahi ki, right?"
"Right"
"Agar isse puchhoge toh shayad ye apni physical disabilities ko shaadi na karne ki vajah batayega"
"Yes he may"
"But socho yaar, jitni daulat iske paas hai, I mean he is one of the richese guys in India. Itni daulat hone ke baad toh Hindustan mein ye jis ladki pe haath rakhe vo haste haste isse shaadi karegi"
"Tu kehna kya chah rahi hai yaar?"
"Yahi ke ye Ravi hai, Gay hai isliye shaadi nahi kari"
"Thats nonsense" Main hasta hua bola, "Hindustan mein ladke ladki ka ratio vaise hi barabar nahi hai. 100 mein se 4-5 ladko ko toh ladki milti hi nahi, kunware hi marte hain bechare. Iska matlab ye thode hi ke vo saare gay hain"
"Main un sabki nahi iski baat kar rahi hoon"
"Pagal hai tu" Maine haskar uski baat taal di par sachchai toh ye thi ke kahin ek ye baat mere dimag mein bhi ghar kar chuki thi.
Usi din shaam ke waqt main akela Shimla pahuncha. Kamini bhi mere saath aana chahti thi par ain waqt par use Mrs. Rana ne bulva bheja jiski vajah se mujhe akela hi aana pada.
Address puchhta hua main Ganpati Travels ke office pahuncha.
Reception par Rana family ka naam bolte hi mujhe fauran Royal treatment diya gaya. Pehle pehal toh mujhe thodi jhijhak hui ke Ranas ka naam loon ya nahi kyunki ab tak is baare mein na toh maine baat Raj hi se ki thi aur na hi Mrs. Rana se par iske alawa mere paas aur koi chara bhi nahi tha. Is tarah ki high class jagahon par jo sirf ameer aur high profile logon ko serve karti hain, mujhe experience se maalum tha ke customer detail confidential hoti hai aur aasani se share nahi ki jaati.
Mujhe ek office mein le jakar bethaya gaya aur coffee serve ki gayi. Koi 10 minute ke intezaar ke baad ek 40-45 saal ki moti si aurat office mein daakhil hui.
"So, how can I help you Sir?" Mujhse milne ke baad vo desk ke doosri taraf apni jagah par ja bethi aur muskurati hui boli.
"Actually main Mrs. Rana ke behalf par kuchh information chah raha tha"
"Sure bataiye" Usne jawab diya.
Main bina kuchh kahe jeb se vo do tickets nikale jo mujhe Kanha ke kamre se mile the aur uski taraf badha diya.
"Wow, I havent seen these in a long timee" Usne tickets uthate hue kaha, "Kahan se mile aapko ye"
"Inke baare mein hi actually mujhe kuchh jaankari chahiye thi" Maine uske sawal ko nazar andaaz karte hue apni baat jaari rakhi, "Its related to her son actually"
"You mean Raj Rana?"
"No actually her other son, Ravi Rana. Main unki disappearance ko lekar investigate kar raha hoon"
Vo kuchh pal tak khamoshi se kabhi tickets ki taraf toh kabhi meri taraf dekhti rahi.
"Who did you say were?" Kuchh der baad vo shak bhari nigahon se mujhe dekhte hue boli.
"Dont worry. I am neither a policeman, nor a journalist looking for a spicy story" Maine uski nigah aur baat ka matlab samjhte hue apni jeb se apna cell phone nikala, "Aap chahen toh Mrs. Rana se baat kar sakti hain"
Vo kuchh der aur khamosh rahi jaise decide karna chah rahi ho ke phone kare ya na kare.
"That wont be necessary" 1 minute mujhe dekhte rehne ke baad vo chehre par phir vahi pehle wali smile laate hue boli, "Kahiye kya jaanna chahte hain"
"In tickets par kisne travel kiya tha?" Maine pehla sawal kiya.
"Oh I am sorry" Usne mayusi ka andaaz chehre par laate hue kaha, "That i can not tell you"
"Why not?"
"Because jabke ye tickets hain ham tab itni badi travel company nahi the"
"Matlab?"
"Matlab ye ke aapne Road Transport run buses mein travel kiya hai kabhi? Government owned"
"Ji haan"
"Toh jaisa ke unka system hota hai, aaiye, counter se ticket lijiye aur bus mein jakar beth jaaiye, Aisa hi kuchh system tab hamara hota tha" Vo samjhate hue boli, "Naam vagerah ka records us waqt ham maintain nahi karte the. Jisne travel karna hai vo on the spot ticket print karate, payment dete aur bus mein bethkar chale jaate"
"Matlab on the spot booking?"
"Ji haan"
"Par ye on the spot booking ki tickets toh nahi lagti, ispar dates likhi hui hain" Maine ticket par likhi hui travel date ki taraf ishara karte hue kaha.
"Vo toh by default print hoti thi" Usne meri baat ka jawab diya, "On the spot tickets bhi jo book hoti hain unpar us din ki date hoti hai"
"Hmmm" Maine sochte hue kaha, "Kuchh bhi bata sakti hain aap mujhe inke baare mein?"
"Let me see" Usne tickets utha kar ek baar phir dekhna shuru kiya.
"Anything at all" Maine baat poori uspar chhod di kyunki mujhe samajh hi nahi aa raha tha ke travel karne wale ke naam ke alawa aur kya sawal puchh sakta tha main.
"3 baatein" Vo kuchh der tickets ko ulat pulat kar dekhne ke baad vaapis table par rakhte hue boli.
"Kya?" Mere dil mein ummeed ki kiran jaagi.
"Ek toh ye A.C. bus ki tickets hain, kiraye ki amount dekh kar bata rahi hoon"
"Ok" Maine haami bhari, ye baat toh main khud bhi samjh hi chuka tha.
"Doosra ye dono advance booking tickets hain"
"Par abhi toh aap keh rahi thi ke on the spot booking system tha aapka"
"Right par usi mein advance booking bhi hoti thi"
"OK" Maine samajhte hue kaha, "Matlab counter par aaiye, jis din jana hai us din ka ticket le jaaiye aur us din aakar sidha bus mein beth jaaiye"
"Correct"
"Aapko kaise pata ke ye advance mein book ki gayi thi?"
"Ye dekh rahe uper" Usne ticket ke kone mein like A ki taraf ishara kiya, "Ye advance booking ki tickets par print hota tha"
"Ok, aur teesri baat?"
"Teesri baat ye ke is pehle wale ticket par trave kiya gaya tha" Usne May wale ticket ki taraf ishara kiya, "Par ye doosra ticket jo hai August ka, ispar travel nahi kiya gaya. Book hua tha par no-one actually used it"
"How do you know that?"
"Guar se dekhiye" Usne table par rakhe lamp ka munh tickets ki taraf ghumaya, "Time ke saath ink gayab ho gayi hai par is pehle ticket ke kono par ye halka neele rang ka nishan hai, par doosra wala saaf hai"
"Matlab Bus mein bethne ke baad ya bethte waqt ticket par koi stamp laga deta tha?"
"Exactly. Is pehle ticket par travel kiya gaya par doosra ticket kabhi use hua hi nahi"
Shimla se lautkar jab tak main vaapis Chail pahuncha tab tak andhera ho chuka tha.
"Itna late kahan kar diya?" Kamini ne mujhe dekhte hi sawal kiya, "Main phone kar rahi thi toh not reachable ja raha tha"
"Tujhe badi fikar ho rahi hai meri?" Maine haste hue kaha.
"Nahi honi chahiye?" Vo zara sanjeeda hote hue boli.
Main kuchh der tak khamoshi se uski taraf dekhta raha.
"Bilkul honi chahiye, tujhe nahi hogi toh kise hogi" Kuchh pal baad main bhi sanjeeda aawaz mein bola.
"Chaai loge?" Meri baat sunte hi uska chehra aise chamak utha jaise koi lottery lag gayi ho.
"Haan" Maine haami bhari toh vo kitchen ki taraf chali gayi.
"Kuchh pata chala?" Kitchen se hi usne zor se puchha.
"Khaas kuchh nahi, matlab ki ek hi baat pata chali"
"Kya?"
Maine Ganpati travels walo ke saath hui apni mulaqat ke baare mein use bataya.
"What do you think?" Maine baat khatam ki toh Kamini boli.
"Actually sach kahun toh is baat ka andaza mujhe khud bhi tha, bas vahan jakar confirmation mil gayi. Tu bata, Mrs. Rana ke saath teri mulaqat kaisi rahi?"
"Theek thaak hi thi, we just sat and talk. Totally women's talk you know. Bas idhar udhar ki baatein hoti rahi" Vo kitchen se ek cup mein chaai dalkar laayi.
"Case ke baare mein kuchh?"
"Nahi, she was more interested in our personnal lives"
"Matlab?"
"Matlab ke mujhse keh rahi thi ke ham log shaadi kab kar rahe hain"
