Chapter 3 - The Twins

3 din baad main ek baar phir Mrs. Rana ke guest house mein tha aur is baar kyunki mujhe pata nahi tha ke main yahan kitne din rehne wala hoon, isliye poori taiyyari ke saath aaya tha. Office se maine ek lambi chhutti le li thi jiske mera Boss bilkul khilaff tha, khaas taur se tab jab maine ye kaha ke main nahi janta ke ye chhutti kitni lambi hogi. Chhutti shayad milti bhi nahi agar main resign karne ki dhamki na deta.
"Can i come visit you Daddy?" Mera 3 saal ka beta Vikram badi masoomiyat ke saath mujhse phone par puchh raha tha.
"Of course you can come visit me anytime honey" Maine haste hue jawab diya.
Phone par ek pal ke liye khamoshi hui aur phir Kamini ki aawaz aayi.
"You better not be lying to your son"
"I am not" Maine kaha "Vo toh mom nahi maani yahan aane ko varna main use yahin le aata. Akele Vikram ko yahan la nahi sakta kyunki vo chhota hai"
"Well you could have asked me"
"Asked you what, to come here with me to take care of Vikram?"
"Yep"
"Yeah right, like you dont anything better to do in your life"
"I dont" Usne bahut serious andaaz mein kaha.
Kamini meri bachpan ki dost thi. Uske father mere Dad ke bahut achhe dost the aur ham dono bachpan se hi saath pale badhe. Main janta tha ke vo bachpan se hi mujhse pyaar karti thi aur is baat ka vo khud bhi mere saamne iqraat kar chuki thi. Par mere liye hamesha vo dost hi rahi. Aisa nahi tha ke maine koshish nahi ki.
Vo ek bahut achhhi ladki thi aur hamare gharwale bhi yahi chahte the ke ham dono shaadi kar lein. College mein aur uske baad maine koshish ki bhi thi ke Kamini ko ek girlfriend aur future wife ke nazariye se dekhne ki koshish karun par kar nahi paya. Vo mere liye hamesha meri dost hi rahi. College mein mujhe Renuka mili, mujhse usse pyaar hua aur phir hamne shaadi kar li.
Aur ab jabki meri biwi ko guzre 2 saal ho chuke hain aur meri zindagi mein ladki ke naam par sirf ek Kamini hi hai, ab bhi main use sivaay ek dost ke kisi aur nazariye se dekh nahi pata. Ye jaante hue bhi ke vo meri sirf ek haan ka intezaar kar rahi. Mujhe maalum tha ke vo mere bete se bahut pyaar karti hai, uske liye ek achhi maan saabit hogi aur mere liye ek achhi biwi par zindagi mein phir se ek aurat ko biwi ka darja ab main nahi de sakta tha.
Jo mere aur Renuka ke beech hua tha uske baad toh nahi.
"Arrey tum toh serious hi ho gaye, dont worry i am not forcing myself on you. I was just saying" Doosri taraf se Kamini ki aawaz aayi.
"I know. Anyways, i will talk to you later. Need to go meet someone"
"Oh really ?" Vo shokhi bhare andaaz mein boli, "kaun hai, A woman?"
"As a matter of fact yes" Maine bhi usi andaaz mein jawab diya.
"OK" Usne hairat bhara lamba sa okay kaha "Kaun hai?"
"Hai koi"
"Is she pretty?"
"Haan ek waqt pe khoobsurat toh zaroor rahi hogi"
"Ek waqt pe? Kyun ab kya? Khoobsurati kisi ko udhar de aayi?"
"Nahi vo de nahi aayi, koi zabardasti leke chala gaya?"
"Kaun?"
"Waqt"
"Kya matlab?"
"Matlab ke dhalti umar ke saath khoobsurati bhi dhal gayi"
"What?" Vo na samjhne wale andaaz mein boli.
"Ab ek 70 saal ki aurat toh mere taste ke hisaab se khoobsurat nahi ho sakti na?"
"Aur kaun hai ye 70 saal ki aurat?"
"Meri client"
"Kaun?"
"Baad mein bataoonga, ab jaane do mujhe"
Kamini aur apne bete se baat karne ke baad maine kamre par ek nazar daali. Saman maine abhi tak unpack nahi kiya par vo sab karne se pehle Mrs. Rana se milkar aana tha
Thodi der baad ham ek baar phir usi badi si study mein ikatthe hue. Main. Bela Rana aur vo Butler Liyaqat jo mujhe samajh nahi aata tha ke kyun har waqt sar pe bana rehta hai.
"As i told you before, you need to find out about my other son" Formal greetings khatam hone ke baad Mrs. Rana ne kaha.
"I understand" Maine jawab diya "I will need to get as many details as possible like since when he is missing, who was the last person to see him, what happened after he disappeared, jo police case hua tha uska kya result nikla, what were his habits, where he used to go, what he looked like"
"20 years ago he looked like him and if he is still alive today somewhere, i am sure he still looks like him" Kehte hue Bela Rana ne apni study table par rakhi ek framed photograph meri taraf ghuma di.
Tasveer mein jo insaan tha use main bakhubi pehchanta tha. Vo Rajinder Rana tha.
"Thats my son, Rajinder" Vo boli.
"I know. So you mean to say that he resembled his brother?"
"Not resembled, they were a 100% copy of each other. Judwa the dono"
"Twin brothers?"
"Yes. Shakal, kad kathi, aawaz, sab ekdam ek doosre ki hubahu tha"
"Hmmmm, thats interesting"
"Dono agar ek saath khade ho jaayen toh pehchanna mushkil tha. Main ek maan hote hue bhi sirf isliye dono ko pehchan paati thi kyunki unmein se ek apaahij tha"
"Apaahij?"
"Ji haan apaahij" Kehte hue unhone darwaze ke paas khade Liyaqat ki taraf dekha "Ek cup coffee ke liye boliye"
Liyaqat ne fauran hukum baja lane wale andaaz mein apna sir hilaya aur darwaza kholne laga.
"Rukiye" Mrs. Rana ne kaha aur mujhse mukhaatib hui "Aap lenge?"
"Yeah sure"
"2 cup le aaiye aur kuchh khaane ka bhi intezaam karaiye" Unhone phir Liyaqat se kaha.
"Ji zaroor" Liyaqat darwaza khol kar bahar nikal gaya.
Ab kamre mein sirf main aur Mrs. Rana reh gaye the.
"Ab jo ham aapko batane ja rahe hain, aur iske baad bahut kuchh jo aap khud pata lagayenge, hamare pariwaar ki niji baatein hain. Kayi baatein aisi hongi jo shayad har ghar ki kahani ka ek hissa hain aur unhein jaanne mein kisi ki dilchaspi nahi hogi par kuchh baatein aisi hain jo agar hamare ghar se bahar gayi toh is pariwaar ko khasa nuksaan pahuncha sakti hain jo ke ham bilkul nahi chahte"
"Aap bilkul befikar rahiye, hamare beech ki baat sirf ham tak rahegi"
"Aap itne yakeen se kaise keh sakte hain? After all, isse pehle jo kuchh bhi aap pata lagate the, uske pichhe sirf aur sirf yahi maksad hota tha ke usko mirch masala laga kar hawa mein udaya ja sake taaki log maze le lekar padhen aur aapka newspaper aur zyada bikey"
"I cant say that i dont agree with you on that" Maine muskurate hue kaha "Par Ma'm aap khud is waqt apni hi baat se contrast kar rahi hain. Ek taraf toh aapne khud mujhe yahan isliye bulaya hai ke maine kuchh investigate kar sakun aur doosri taraf aap khud hi mujh par shak kar rahi hai, mujhe batane se jhijhak rahi hain"
"I guess you are right" Vo bhi meri baat sunkar muskurayi "But one cant be too careful in these matters"
"I agree, par aap befikar rahiye. Ye sahi hai ke isse pehle main jo bhi investigate karta tha vo isliye tha ke use newspaper mein chhap sakun par vo mere apne liye nahi tha"
"How do you mean?"
"I was merely serving in the interest of the party that employed me Ma'm which in previous matter was my newspaper. Main vahan kaam karta tha aur unka fayda sirf is baat mein tha ke main investigate karke kahaniyan laoon aur akhbaar mein chhapun jo ke main karta tha. Par filhal meri employer aap hain aur aapka fayda sirf is baat mein hai ke main jo bhi pata lagaoon vo sirf apne tak rakhun. I know how to serve in the best interest of the party paying me so you can rest assured. Main bahut achhi tarah janta hoon ke kuchh raaz sirf chhupaye rakhne ke liye hote hain kyunki unko sivaay aapke aur koi samajh nahi sakta"
Ye kehte hue mera Dhyaan apni guzar chuki biwi ki taraf chala gaya. Uske aur mere beech jo hua tha vo ek aisa kissa tha jo sivaay mere aur koi nahi samajh sakta tha. Ek aisi sachchai jo sirf main jaan aur samajh sakta tha.
"I trust you on that. Aap ek samajhdaar aadmi hain and i hope you wont mind when i asked you to sign a confidentiality agreement between us?"
"Of course not" Maine jawab diya "Aap jab kahen main confidentiality agreement par sign karne ke liye taiyyar hoon"
"Maine Mr. Mehta se keh diya hai and he is preparing a document. Thanks for understanding that" Mrs. Rana ne muskura kar jawab diya.
Tabhi Liyaqat ek tray mein 2 cup coffee aur ek tray mein kuchh biscuits lekar aa gaya aur table par hamare saamne lagane laga.
"So as i was saying, mere 2 bete the. Rajinder aur Ravinder, dono judwa"
"Ok" Kehte hue maine apni jeb se ek notepad nikala aur pen se uspar notes banane laga. Ek baat jiski hairat mujhe hui vo ye the ke unhone Liyaqat ke saamne hi mujhe sab batana shuru kar diya tha jabki main ummeed kar raha tha ke vo uske bahar jaane ka intezaar karengi.
"Yun toh hamare paas bhagwaan ka diya sab kuchh tha aur aaj bhi hai par vo kehte hain na kabhi kisi ko poora jahan nahi milta, or something like that in shayari language"
"Kabhi kisi ko muqammal jahan nahi milta, kabhi zameen toh kabhi aasmaan nahi milta" Maine jawab diya.
"Yeah that. Toh aapko shayari mein bhi interest hai"
"Nahi not really, par ye kaafi famous hai isliye yaad tha"
"Hmmmm, anyways aisa hi kuchh hamare saath bhi hua tha. Yun toh bhagwaan ne dene ke liye hamein sab kuchh diya tha par ek kami hamare andar bhi chhod di thi. Ek aisi cheez jiski ek aurat ko sabse zyada aas hoti hain. Maan banne ka sukh"
"Main samjha nahi"
"Rajinder aur Ravinder se pehle hamne 3 aur bachchon ko janam diya tha par they were all still-born"
"Matlab paidaish ke waqt hi ...."
"Ji haan" Unhone meri baat poori karte hue kaha "Vo teeno hamari kokh mein hi dam tod chuke the. They were all born dead"
"Oh, i am sorry"
"Sabse pehla ek ladka tha. Uske paida hone se pehle hamari kokh men hi zindagi uska saath chhod chuki thi. Doosri paidaish ek ladki thi aur teesra phir se ek ladka par unke saath bhi vahi hua jo hamare pehle bete ke saath hua tha. Vo is duniya mein aaye toh par kabhi saans nahi li"
"Oh"
"But as they say, things happen for the best"
"Ji?"
"You see kudrat ka mazak hamare saath ye nahi tha ke hamare bachche zinda nahi the. Mazak ye tha ke all those children were deformed"
"Deformed?"
"Ji haan, they were not healthy children. Har case mein doctors ne hamein yahi bataya ke hamare bachche mein kahin na kahin sharirik taur par koi kami thi. Jaisa ke hamare pehla beta, agar zinda rehta, was born blind. Vo zindagi bhar andhere mein hi jeeta. Aur aisi hi sharirik kamiyan hamare baaki 2 bachchon mein bhi thi"
"Ok"
"Toh unhein is duniya mein na aane dekar kudrat ne shayad un masoom bachchon par ehsaan hi kiya tha, saza toh bhagwaan hamein de raha tha, na jaane kis baat ki"
Is saare kisse ke dauran Liyaqat ab bhi darwaze ke paas sar jhukaye khada sun raha tha par Mrs. Rana ko uske saamne ye sab batate koi hichak nahi ho rahi thi jisse main sirf yahi andaza laga sakta tha ke Liyaqat ye sab baatein already janta tha.
"Iske baad hamne har tarah ki dawa aur dua dono ki. Hamare pati hamse bahut pyaar karte the isliye bavajood iske ke ham unhein ek waris tak nahi de pa rahe the, unhone hamein chhoda nahi balki hamare saath rahe. Hamne bahut doctors ko consult kiya, jaane kitne mandir aur masjidon mein matha teka, peer pujariyon se taveez karaye aur shayad phir bhagwaan ko ham par taras aa gaya. Hamare pet mein phir zindagi ne janam liya aur is baar ek nahi do ne"
"You mean your twins"
"Yes par is baar bhi kudrat ne hamare saath dillagi karna chhoda nahi. Hamare 2 bachchon mein jahan ek poora tarah healthy tha vahin hamara doosra beta was again a born handicapped"
"Ok"
"We named them as Ravinder and Rajinder. Ravi poori tarah se healthy tha kahin koi kami nahi thi par Raj was a born mute and his left side of the body was not functioning normally. Vo bachpan se hi bol nahi sakta tha, uski left arm is completely dead and uski left leg is a bit shorter than his right isliye vo hamesha se langda kar chalta hai"

Amazing. But iss mein bhi dark girl ki tarah vampire bro twins mein se ek ko talaash karne ja rahe hein. Dark girl mein sawli saloni yahan rajindae aur ravindra

 

[Casinar]

"So Mr. Rajinder Rana ......?"
"Yes, you are right. My son can not speak, his left arm is useless and he has a limp"
"I didnt know that"
"Not many people do" Mrs Rana ne coffee ka cup apne honthon se lagate hue kaha "Can you believe it? One of the richest people in this country is a handicap. All this money couldnt get him a healthy body. Hamne bahut koshish ki, kaafi jagah ilaaj karaya par nateeja nahi nikla. Na toh hamara paisa hamein apne bete ki aawaz vaapis dila saka aur na hi uske shareer ki koi aur kami door kar paya"
Mujhe samajh nahi aaya kee is baat ka kya jawab doon isliye khamoshi se coffee pita raha. Rajinder Rana ka naam aksar magazines aur newspapers mein chhapta rehta tha aur ek journalist hone ke naate main uske naam se bakhubi vaakif tha par ye baat ke vo ek apaahij tha mujhe bhi nahi maalum thi. Main kya shayad hi koi hoga jise ye baat pata hogi, sivaay Rana Pariwar aur unke kareebi doston ke.
"Khair" Mrs. Rana ne coffee ka cup neeche rakhte hue baat jaari rakhi "Toh hamein judwa bete hue aur hamare pariwar mein khushiyon ka koi thikana nahi raha. Khushi is baat ki ke is baar hamari kokh se 2 jeete jaagte bachche paida hue par usse kahin zyada khushi is baat ki ek hamara ek beta poori tarah se healthy tha, unlike the other kids that i gave birth to"
"Mr. Ravinder Rana?"
"Yeah, or Ravi as i and everyone else used to call him. Zindagi ek baar phir behtar ho gayi. Hamare bachche bade hone lage aur hamein laga ke hamare dukh ke din beet gaye, hamare hisse ka shraap ab hamare sar se hat gaya par ham galat the. Bhagwan ne abhi hamein aur bhi saza deni thi"
Kehte hue unhone ek lambi si saans li. Main chup chap betha unki baat sun raha tha aur apni diary mein notes banata ja raha tha.
"Baat 1991 ki hai. Ek din ham sokar uthe toh breakfast table par hamein Ravi nahi mila, aur phir vo lunch ke liye bhi nahi tha aur dinner bhi hamne uske bina hi kiya. Vo din aur aaj ka din, hamne khana apne doosre bete ke bina hi khaya hai"
"You mean 13th July 1991?"
"13th July?"
"Haan vo us photograph par date 13th July ki thi jo aapne mujhe pehle dikhayi thi aur aapne kaha tha ke us photo ke baad se hi aapke bete lapata hain"
"Oh yeah, that photograph was taken on 13th July but my son went missing on 15th. Hamne aakhri baar use 14th July ko dekha tha aur uske baad phir kabhi nahi"
"Dhoondhne ki koshish?"
"Bahut ki thi. Har vo jagah jahan vo ja sakta tha hamne pata karaya par kahin se koi suraag nahi mila. Police case hua par unhein bhi koi suraag haasil nahi hua. Hamare pati ne aapse pehle bhi kayi baar apne khud ke aadmi use dhoondhne ke kaam mein lagaye par koi hamein vaapis aakar ye nahi bata saka ke hamara doosra beta kahan hain, zinda bhi hai ya nahi"
"Do you have a reason that he would walk away from his family like this?"
"Reason agar talash karenge toh 1000 mil jaayege. Har ghar mein problems hoti hai, koi na koi aisi baat hoti hai jo ghar ke kisi member ko ganwara nahi hoti. He was 21 years old back then, jawan khoon tha. Agar ham vajah dhoondhne bethen toh 1000 mil sakti hai ke kis baat par vo bhadak kar ghar se chala gaya. Par ham un 1000 vajahon mein interested nahi hain. Hamein us ek vajah ki talash hai jiski vajah se vo ye hazron karodon ki property aur jaaydad chhodkar chalta bana aur phir laut kar nahi aaya"
"Aur kya vo ek vajah aapko mili?"
"Aisi vajah sirf aur sirf ek hi ho sakti hai, maut. Koi itna bada bevakoof nahi hota ke aaram aur aish ki aisi zindagi chhod kar chala jaaye. Agar ham ye maan bhi lein ke vo jawani ke josh mein us waqt chala gaya tha toh ab tak use vaapis aa jana chahiye tha. He must be 43 by now, long time to realise all the good things he missed by walking out. Ham ye nahi maan sakte ke apni zindagi ke pehle 21 saal beshumar daulat mein guzarne ke baad vo apni baaki ki zindagi kahin apni mehnat ki kamai par guzaar raha hai, specially when his academic qualifications are not even 12 years of school"
"He didnt go to school?"
"He did but could not continue. Was never a bright student and hated the books. He was a spoilt one, kahin hamare be-intehaan laad pyaar ne use bigaad diya tha, aish-o-aaram ki aadat pad gayi thi use. Isliye toh keh rahe hain ke is daulat se door sirf use ek hi cheez kar sakti thi, uski maut"
"So you mean someone killed him? Or you think he walked out in anger and died later on?"
"I dont know what to think and that is why i called you, to find out"
"Yes, you are right. I am sorry. I was just asking for your opinion"
"My opinion is that he never left this place"
"Never left?" Maine apni diary se nazar utha kar unki taraf dekha "Ji main samjha nahi"
"Jis din vo lapata hua, uski car bahar garage mein hi khadi thi aur hamari baaki sab gaadiyan bhi. Na toh vo apni koi gaadi lekar gaya aur na hi kisi ne use bus mein chadhte dekha aur yahan se bahar jaane ke us waqt yahi 2 raaste the"
"Aapki koi gaadi missing nahi thi?"
"Nahi"
"Aur na hi aapke bete ne yahan se koi Bus li?"
"Nahi"
"Vo paidal bhi toh nikal sakta tha, zaroori nahi ke bus yahin se li ho. Aur yahan toh vaise bhi maine dekha hai ke private jeeps vagerah chalate hain log, as a mode of transport. Ho sakta hai ke usne kisi se lift li ho aur Bus kisi aur jagah se pakdi ho"
"Ho sakta hai par mujhe lagta nahi ke aisa hua hoga" Mrs. Rana ne kaha.
Isse pehle ke main ye puchhta ke unhein aisa kyun lagta hai, vo apni chair se uth khadi hui.
"Come, let me show you around"
Main bhi bina koi aur sawal kiye unke saath uth khada hua.
"Inse toh aap mil hi chuke hain, Liyaqat Ali. Hamare ghar ke ek bahut hi zaroori sadasya" Unhone darwaze ke paas khade Liyaqat ki taraf ishara kiya.
Jis tarah se ab tak unhone pura kissa mujhe Liyaqat ke saamne hi suna diya tha, usse maine andaza toh laga liya tha ke vo Rana khandan ke saath kaafi waqt se hai aur ghar ke har raaz janta hai, ya phir zyadatar. Par jab Mrs. Rana ne use apne ghar ka sabse purana naukar na kehne ke bajay ek bahut hi zaroori sadasya bataya tab mujhe andaza hua ke vo us ghar ke saath kis qadar juda hua tha.
"Liyaqat bachpan se hi is ghar ke sadasya rahe hain. Inke pita hamare sasur ki gaadi chalaya karte the aur ab ye hamara pura ghar hi chalate hain" Mrs. Rana ne haste hue kaha.
Liyaqat koi 50 ke kareeb ka ek hatta katta pathan tha. Kad koi 6 ft, chaudi kad kaathi, kasrati jism aur raubdaar chehra. Chehre par behad safai ke saath rakhi gayi daadhi par moonchh ka ek baal nahi jisse maine ye andaza lagaya ke vo ek poori tarah se apne mazhab ka palan karne wala musselman tha.
"Khushi hui aapse milkar" Kehte hue usne jab mera haath milaya toh yun laga jaise mujhe kisi jurm ki saza de raha ho. Agar kamre mein thodi aur khamoshi hoti toh shayad mujhe uske chaude haath mein chatakti apne haath ki haddiyan sunai pad jaati. Kaha toh usne ye tha ke mujhse milkar use khushi hui par shakal se aisa bilkul bhi lag nahi raha tha.
"Mujhe bhi" Kehkar maine apna haath fauran pichhe khincha aur uske haath ki giraft se chhudaya, isse pehle ke uski zabardast pakad mein meri ek aadhi anguli toot jaati.
"Is ghar mein ham 3 log rehte hain" Ham kamre se bahar aaye toh Mrs. Rana ne kehna shuru kiya "Main, Liyaqat aur mera beta Raj"
"Mr. Rajinder Rana?" Maine confirm karne ke liye puchha.
"Yes. Raj is his nick name and i have always called him that. Rajinder was a name given to him by my husband and even though i never liked it, i still had to go with it. So i found a way to like it a little for my own convenience"
"By shortning it to Raj" Maine muskura kar kaha.
"Right" Unhone jawab mein apni gardan hilayi "Jaisa ke main keh rahi thi, yahan is ghar mein main, Liyaqat aur Raj rehte hain. Aur bhi kayi naukar hai par koi bhi aisa nahi jo kaafi waqt se hamare saath ho. Usually naukar din mein aate hain aur raat hone tak apne apne ghar chale jaate hain. Sab yahin aas paas gaon ke log hain"
"So its just the 3 of you in this big house then?"
"Well until last year it was 4 but after my husband passed, its just now the 3 of us"
"Agar aap bura na maanein toh ek baat kahun?"
"Kahiye"
"I am a little surprised that Mr. Rana lives here"
"I know" Mrs. Rana ne muskurate hue meri taraf dekha. Ab tak ham log unke ghar se bahar nikal kar khule lawn mein aa chuke the. Sooraj doobne laga tha aur aas paas pahadon par laal rang ki roshni bikher raha tha "Being such a rich man you would of course expect him to be living in a modern society, joining clubs, drinking with equally rich friends, flerting around with women, hai na?"
"Well, yes kind of"
"He is of a very shy nature and i think his physical condition has contributed most to that nature of his. Use bachpan se hi apni kami ka ehsaas tha isliye zyadatar apne aap mein rehta tha, chup chup, sharmila sa aur ab bhi vo aisa hi hai. Aur doosra hamare koi business toh hai nahi. Hamari jo bhi income hain sab land lease, interest, dividends se hai isliye use kahin aur jaane ke zaroorat padti bhi nahi"
"And he never married?"
"No, who would want to marry a man whose half body doesnt work?"
"Well considering the amount of wealth he has, i am sure he can have any woman"
"Yes i am sure he can but uske jaise sharmile aadmi ko jise apni kami ka itna zyada ehsaas ho aisi biwi chahiye jo usse pyaar kare, uski daulat se nahi. Jo is ghar mein isliye aaye ke uska khyaal rakh sake, na ke uski daulat se apna khyaal rakhe. Aur aisi ladki milni zara mushkil hai"
"Yeah i guess you are right"
"He was never close to anybody you know, except his brother"
"Mr. Ravinder Rana?"
"Yeah, Ravi. Dono judwa the aur aapas mein dono bhaiyon mein kaafi lagaav tha. Zyadatar waqt aapas mein hi bitaya karte the aur phir Ravi ke yun achanak gayab ho jaane ke baad Raj jaise apne aap mein hi simat gaya"
"When was the last time you met Ravi?"
"The night he disappeared. Us din mere pati aur uske beech kisi baat ko lekar bahut kaha suni hui thi"
"You mean on the 15th?"
"Haan"
"Kis baat par?"
"Honestly i dont know. Main us din kahin bahar gayi hui thi. Jab ghar lauti toh un dono ke chillane ki aawaz bahar tak aa rahi thi. Pata nahi kis baat ko lekar dono baap bete jhagda kar rahe the. Raj bhi tab mere saath hi tha. Main fauran gaadi se utar kar andar aayi par mujhe dekhte hi dono khamosh ho gaye aur Ravi paon patakta ghar se bahar nikal gaya. Raj bhi fauran uske pichhe pichhe gaya. Unke jaane ke baad maine apne pati se jaanna chaha ke kis baat par jhagda ho raha tha par unhone mere lakh puchhne par bhi koi jawab nahi diya"
"Ok, phir?"
"July ka mahina tha aur un dino lagatar baarish ho rahi thi. Mausam us din bhi kharab tha. Ravi ke jaane ke kuchh der baad hi baarish shuru ho gayi. Ye shaam 5 baje ke kareeb ki baat hai. Vo 3 ghante tak jaane kahan gayab raha aur phir raat 8 baje ke kareeb lauta"
"Ok"
"Vo sidha mere kamre mein aaya, ghabraya sa, baarish mein poori tarah bheega hua, jaise kuchh kehna chahta ho mujhse aur shayad keh bhi deta agar usi waqt mere pati bathroom se bahar na aate. Vo darwaze par khada kuchh pal tak mujhe dekhta raha. Maine kuchh kehna chah hi rahi thi ke phir hamare kamre mein bane bathroom se mere pati bahar aa gaye aur vo unhein dekh kar vo vaapis palat gaya"
"And that was the last time you saw him?"
"Yes. 9 baje ke aas paas main uske kamre par gayi, use khane ke liye bulane par vo kamre mein nahi tha. Us raat khane ki table par sirf main, mere pati aur Raj the aur uske baad phir bas ham 3 hi rahe. Us raat ko gaya vo kabhi laut kar nahi aaya"
Kis baat par jhagda hua tha us raat?"
"Nahi jaanti"
"Uske baad toh aapke pati se kabhi aapki baat hui hogi? I am sure jab plice case hua tha toh un logon ne bhi unse yahi sawal kiya hoga"
"Police ko unhone kya bataya main nahi jaanti par mujhe jo jawab diya uspar main kabhi yakeen nahi kar saki"
"Kya jawab diya tha aapko?"
"Ke Ravi batwara chahta tha. Vo chahta tha ke uske hisse ki jaaydad use de di jaaye aur us jaaydad se hone wali aamdani uski apni ho"
"Aisa chahne ki koi khaas vajah?"

Wow beautiful

 

[Casinar]

"Koi vajah nahi thi aur na hi usse pehle kabhi hamein uski baaton se aisa laga ke vo aisa chahta tha. Tab uski umar 24 saal ki thi aur apne pita ka vo bahut haath batata tha. Paisa uske haath mein khula tha jiska kabhi usse koi hisaab nahi manga jata tha. Uske paas aisi koi vajah nahi thi ke vo fauran batware ki demand karta"
"Ye baat aapne apne pati se puchhi?"
"Haan"
"Kya kahan unhone?"
"Yahi ke unhein bhi kuchh samajh nahi aaya ke Ravi aisa kyun chahta tha aur isi baat ko lekar un dono mein us din jhagda ho raha tha"
"Par aap nahi maanti ke us din ke jhagde ki vajah vaakai batwara hi tha?"
"Mujhe nahi pata ke main kya sach maanu aur kya jhooth. Main sirf ye jaanti hoon ke maine apna ek beta kho diya tha aur ab filhal ye jaanna chahti hoon ke kya hua tha uske saath aur vajah kya thi"
"Hmmm" Main sirf itna hi keh saka.
Ham dono ghar ke bahar bane garden mein khade the. Shaam dhal chuki thi aur aasman mein halki bachi roshni bahut tezi ke saath andhere mein badal rahi thi. Door pahadon par rehne wale logon ke ghar mein lights on ho gayi thi.
"Vo vahan us pahad par kaali mata ka ek mandir hai" Kehte hue Mrs. Rana ne ek pahad ki choti par bane mandir ki taraf ishara kiya.
"Yeah i know. Us din Sunday ko jab aapse milne aaya tha toh shaam ko tehelte hue us taraf nikal gaya tha. Khoobsurat jagah hai" Maine jawab diya.
Tabhi mandir se ghaniyan bajne ki aawaz aani shuru ho gayi.
"Aarti shuru ho gayi hai" Mrs. Rana ne mandir ki aur dekhte hue kaha.
"Yeah it was actually a bit surprising for me. Us din jab main vahan gaya toh aaarti ke waqt mandir mein koi bhi nahi tha, sivaay pujari aur aarti karne walo ke. Logon ke naam par sirf main tha, baaki poora mandir khaali tha"
"Ye mandir hamare pati ne banvyaa tha kaafi pehle. Ek samay tha jab yahan har shaam aarti ke waqt logon ki bheed hoti thi, phir dheere dheere log kam hote chale gaye. Par mere pati ne kabhi vahan jana nahi chhoda. Har shaam aarti mein shaamil hone jaate the par ab toh sirf mandir hai aur pujari hai, isliye aarti hoti hai" Gehri saans lete hue unhone meri baat ka jawab diya.
"None the less, it is a beautiful temple"
"I know. Vo vahan neeche valley mein Solan hai, another small town" Kehte hue unhone valley mein jal rahi bahut saari lights ki taraf ishara kiya.
"And which way is Chail?"
"Chail yahan pahad ke doosri taraf hai, around 10 kms from here"
"Chail, Solan in sab jagahon ke baare mein suna hi suna tha, aaya pehli baar hoon yahan. Shimla bhi nazdeek hi hai na yahan se?"
"Haan takreeban 50-60 kilometres ke aas paas hoga"
"Ek baat puchhna chahta tha. Us din jab main yahan aaya toh i met a woman. I think she said her name was Sakshi"
"Haan Sakshi, mere bhai ki beti hai"
"Vo yahin rehti hai aapke saath?"
"Nahi hamare saath toh nahi par yahin paas mein rehti hai. Vo aur mera chhota Bhai, Pratap Rana, dono"
"Aapke Bhai bhi Rana hain?"
"Haan" Vo meri baat sunkar has padi "Mera last name hamesha same hi raha. Shaadi se pehle bhi mera naam Bela Rana tha aur shaadi ke baad bhi. I was born in a Rana family and married into another"
"Your niece, Sakshi. She said she knew who i was"
"Haan as a matter of fact she was the one who suggested your name. Usi ke kehne par hamne aapke baare mein pata lagvaya aur phir aapko bulva bheja"
"Agar aap bura na maanein toh kya main jaan sakta hoon ke mere baare mein aapne itna sab pata kaise karaya?"
"Nahi bura maanne ki kya baat hai. Hamne apne lawyer Mr. Mehta ko contact kiya, vo delhi mein hi rehte hain, kaafi bade vakeel hain"
"And it was Mr. Mehta vo found out everything about me?"
"Right"
"I havent seen you son yet, Mr. Rajinder Rana"
"Raj actually london gaya hua hai. His left leg had been troubling him a little bit for last few years, aksar dard ki shikayat rehti hai khaas taur se tab jab mausam thanda ho isliye Doctors se consult karne ke liye har 3-4 mahine mein ek baar use jana padta hai. He should be back tomorrow"
Mrs. Rana se baat karne ke baad main guest house mein aa gaya. Ye guest house agle aane wale kuchh din ke liye mera ghar hone wala tha. Saman ab bhi unpacked tha aur mera is waqt unpacking karne ke koi mood nahi tha. Khane main aate hue Liyaqat ko bol aaya tha ke guest house mein hi bhijva de.
Is baar mein kitchen mein pahuncha toh refrigator mein doodh maujood tha. Apne liye ek cup chaai bana kar main vaapis living room mein aakar beth gaya aur apni diary khol kar dekhi.
Is waqt main kuchh khaas nahi janta tha sivaay iske ke,
1. Mrs. Rana ke 2 bete the. Rajinder Rana aur Ravinder Rana.
2. Rajinder Rana bachpan se physically challenged yaani apaahij hai.
3. Apne baap se hue jhagde ke baad 20 saal pehle Ravinder Rana lapata ho gaya tha.
4. Jhagda shayad property ko lekar hua tha jispar ke Mrs. Rana ko poori tarah yakeen nahi.
5. Rajinder Rana har 3-4 mahine mein London jata hai Dr. ko dikhane.
6. Paas mein hi Mrs. Rana ka bhai Pratap Rana aur uski beti Sakshi Rana rehte hain.
Yaani ke is waqt main takreeban na ke barabar janta tha par phir abhi toh sirf shurat hi thi.
Apni diary band karke main chaai ka sip lete hue apne cell phone par nazar daali. Ek message aaya hua tha. Inbox open kiya toh message Kamini ka tha aur vo usne us shaam phone par mujhse baat karne ke thodi der baad hi bheja tha.
"You will have to move on with your life you know. Renuka is dead and nothing you can do to bring her back. She is in a better place now and she would also want you to move on with your life, be happy"
Message padhkar maine apni aankhen band ki aur sofe par tek laga kar sochne laga. Would i really want to bring Renuka back in my life, if i could? If given a choice and if i could travel back in time, would i really marry her again? Kya galti ho gayi thi mujhse? Where did i go wrong in my marriage?
Did my wife really wanted me to be happy? Did she ever even care?

Too good man

Chapter 4 - Liyaqat Ali Khan

Mujhe poora andesha tha is baat ka ke ye kaam thoda mushkil saabit hone wala tha.
Pehli mulaqat mein hi main samajh gaya tha ke Liyaqat ko main pasand nahi aaya. Yun toh na usne mujhse kuchh kaha tha aur na hi aisi koi baat hui thi jisse mujhe aisa lage par na jaane kyun jab bhi meri nazar usse takrati thi, uski aankhon mein mujhe apne liye ek ajeeb se napasandgi nazar aati thi. Kehne ko toh Mrs. Rana ka wafadar tha, ek aisa insaan jispar unhein poori tarah bharosa tha aur main yahan Mrs. Rana ke kehne par hi maujood tha par Liyaqat se mujhe kitni information milti hai ye kehna zara mushkil tha. Usne apni poori zindagi is ghar mein guzari thi aur jis tarah se Mrs. Rana uspar bharosa karti thi usse ye bhi saaf zahir tha ke use ghar ki zyadatar baatein pata hongi par un baaton mein se vo mujhe kitni batayega, ye sawal 10 crore ka tha. Aur usse bhi bada sawal ye tha ke jo baatein vo mujhe batayega unmein se sach kitni hongi.
"Aap jaante hain main yahan kyun hoon?" Main apna notepad kholte hue kaha. Liyaqat mere saamne guest house ke living room mein betha hua tha.
Mere sawal par usne sirf haan mein sar hilaya.
"Good" Maine muskura kar kaha "Ab jaisa ke aap is ghar mein Mrs. Rana ke baad doosre aap hi hain jo 20 saal pehle bhi yahan the toh maine socha ke aapse kuchh baat kar loon. Aapko is baat par koi aitraaz?"
Usne inkaar mein sar hilaya.
"Ok. Main sawal karun isse behtar shayad ye hoga ke aap hi mujhe batayen"
"Kya bataoon?" Vo bina chehre pe koi bhaav laaye bola.
"Kuchh bhi. Koi bhi aisi baat jisse aapko lagta ho ke mujhe Ravi ka pata lagane mein koi madad mil sakti ho"
"Main aisa kuchh nahi janta. Jitna mujhe maalum hai utna aapko Madam kal bata chuki hain"
"Toh aapki jankari bhi utni hi hai jitna ke Mrs. Rana ne mujhe bataya?"
Usne haan mein sar hilaya.
"All right" Main samajh gaya tha ke ye khud kuchh nahi batayega, mujhe hi sawal karne padenge "Jis shaam Mr. Ravi Rana latapa hue tab aap kahan the?"
"Ghar mein hi"
"Ghar mein kahan?"
"Kahan se matlab"
"Kahan se matlab ye ke ghar mein kahan the? Kitchen mein, living room mein, bahar gate par?"
"20 saal pehle ki baat kar rahe hain aap"
"Haan toh?"
"Toh 20 saal pehle ek din main ghar ke kis kone mein tha ye kaise yaad hoga mujhe?"
"Aise yaad hoga ke vo din ek aisa din tha jo is ghar pichhle 20 saal se roz yaad kiya ja raha hai"
"Kitchen mein tha"
"Kitne baje se kitne baje tak?"
"Yaad nahi"
"Ok this isnt working. Lets do it the other way. Mere puchhne se behtar shayad yahi hai ke aap ye kahani apne munh se sunayen. Us poore din ke baare mein bataiye, subah se raat tak. Aap kitne baje kahan the, kya kar rahe the, kya dekha, kya suna sab kuchh. Aur ye mat kehna ke aapko yaad nahi varna mujhe Mrs. Rana se baat karni padegi ke aap co-operate nahi kar rahe"
Meri dhamki kaam kar gayi. Uske chehre ki sakhti thodi kam hoti nazar aayi, jaise dil hi dil mein usne hathyaar daal diye hon.
"Poore din ka toh asal mein yaad nahi" Usne batana shuru kiya "Dopahar ke waqt main Madam ke saath Solan gaya tha, unhein kuchh saman kharidna tha, Raj sahab hamare saath hi the. Shaam ke waqt ham laute. Main gaadi park karke Madam ke saath andar aaya toh bade sahab ke kamre se jhagadne ki aawazen aa rahi thi, kisi baat par bade sahab aur Ravi Sahab ke beech kaha suni ho rahi thi"
"Kis baat par?"
"Ye toh main nahi janta"
"Jab tum andar aaye honge toh kuchh sunai toh diya hoga ke vo kya keh rahe hain"
"Haan zyada nahi, thoda bahut"
"Kya keh rahe the?"
"Ravi Sahab keh rahe the ke ye unki apni zindagi hai, vo jaise chahe guzarenge aur ye ke bade sahab hamesha unhein baandh kar nahi rakh sakte. Uspe bade sahab keh rahe the ke vo khandan ka naam aise kharab nahi hone denge. Us waqt toh itna hi sunai pada magar phir baad mein pata chala ke Ravi Sahab batware ki baat kar rahe the aur bade sahab is baat ke liye mana kar rahe the"
"Ye kaise pata chala aapko?"
"Baad mein kaafi baat hui is baare mein ghar par, Mem-sahab aur sahab ke beech, toh suna maine. Aur phir ek do din baad bade sahab ne mujhe khud bhi bataya tha"
"Ke Mr. Ravi Rana batwara chahte the?"
"Haan"
"Unhone khud bataya, ya aapne puchha tha?"
"Main naukar hoon is ghar mein, main aisa sawal kyun karuga? Unhone khud hi bataya tha"
"Mr. Rana aksar aapse is tarah ghar ki baatein share kiya karte the?"
"Nahi par kabhi kabhi bataya karte the. Vaise toh zyadatar baatein ghar ki mere saamne hi ho jaya karti thi, sabko bharosa hai mujhpar"
"Haan vo toh saaf zahir hai. Khair, toh aap log vaapis, Mr. Rana aur Ravi ke beech kaha suni ho rahi thi. Phir kya hua?
"Jab un dono ne dekha ke ham vaapis aa gaye hain toh vo dono chup ho gaye. Madam andar gayin puchhne ke liye ke kis baat pe kaha suni ho rahi thi par Ravi sahab bina koi jawab diye ghar se bahar nikal gaye aur Raj Sahab unke pichhe pichhe gaye" Liyaqat ne batana jaari rakha.
"Ok, phir?"
"Phir main kitchen ki taraf chala gaya raat ke khane ka intezaam karne. Bade Sahab or Mem-Sahab unke kamre mein hi rahe, shayad baat kar rahe the jhagde ke baare mein. Uske thodi der baad hi zabardast baarish shuru ho gayi, pahad par chaaro taraf badal utar aaye. Phir raat ko takreeban 8 baje ke aas paas maine Ravi Sahab ko bade sahab ke kamre ki taraf se aate dekha aur vo sidhiyan chadhkar uper apne kamre ki taraf chale gaye"
"Koi baat hui thi unse tumhari?
"Nahi, unhone sirf meri taraf dekha aur uper ki taraf chale gaye. Baarish mein poori tarah bheege hue the"
"Ok"
"Phir main dobara kitchen mein chala gaya dekhne ke liye ke khana taiyyar hua ya nahi. Ghar mein raat ko 9 bajde dinner serve kar diya jaata hai. Naukar sab kaam par lage hue the. Vahan kuchh waqt guzarne ke baad main phir apne kamre ki taraf chala gaya"
"Aapka kamra, aap yahin rehte hain?"
"Ji haan, main hamesha se yahin raha hoon. Ghar ke saare intezaam main hi dekhta hoon"
"Kis jagah hai aapka kamra?"
"Bungalow ke pichhe ki taraf"
"Phir?"
"Vahan se maine apni chhatri uthayi aur bahar gate ki taraf gaya, check karne ke liye ke sab theek thaak hai. Ye mera roz ka mamool tha, raat ko sabke aa jaane ke baad gate par andar ki taraf se lock laga kar aaya karta tha"
"Gate par koi chaukidaar nahi rehta tha?"
"Rehta tha par ye kaam raat ko hamesha main hi anjaam deta tha"
"Gate ki chaabi?"
"Mere paas hi rehti thi"
"Aur agar der raat ko koi aa jaaye toh?"
"Toh chaukidaar aakar mujhe jagata tha aur gate jakar main hi kholta tha"
"Aisa karne ki koi khaas vajah?"
"Security ke liye"
"Ok. Toh aap gate lock karne gaye, phir?"
"Gate par main gaya toh vahan bethe chaukidaar ne mujhe bataya ke Raj Sahab ab tak vaapis nahi aaye hain. Main vahan KHADA hi tha ke mere pichhe pichhe Ravi Sahab bhi aa gaye aur gate khol kar bahar nikal gaye"
"Tumne puchha ke itni raat kahan ja rahe hain?"
"Main naukar aadmi hoon Sahab, main bhala aisa sawal kyun karunga"
"Haath mein kuchh tha unke?"
"Ji haan, ek bag"
"Bag?"
"Haan. pichhe kamar par taangne wala chhota bag"
"Sirf ek bag, aur kuchh?"
"Nahi"
"Phir?"
"Maine chaabi chaukidaar ko de di ke jaise hi Sahab vaapis aayen toh gate lock karke chaabi mujhe de jaaye. Vahan se main vaapis apne kamre mein gaya, chhatri rakhi aur pichhe ke darwaze se hota vaapis kitchen aaya. Khana ban chuka tha aur 9 bhi bajne wale the isliye maine naukraon se kehkar dining table par khana lagvana shuru kiya. 9 baje Bade Sahab, Mem Sahab aur Raj Sahab khane ki table par aaye. Mem Sahab ne mujhse Ravi Sahab ke baare mein puchha toh maine bataya ke vo bahar gaye hain isliye sabse dinner unke bina hi kar liya aur apne apne kamre mein chale gaye"
"Raj? Abhi toh tum keh rahe the ke chaukidaar ne tumhein bataya tha ke Raj vaapis nai aaye the?"
"Haan par shayad naukar ne dhyaan nahi diya hoga, vaise bhi us raat chaaron taraf badal aur kohra phela hua tha."
"Aur phir us raat ke baad Ravi vaapis nahi aaye?"
"Nahi. Ye pehli baar hua tha ke ghar ka koi member bina kisi ki jaankari ke ghar se bahar tha aur ye mere liye pehli baar tha ke gate maine apne haathon se lock nahi kiya tha isliye chah kar bhi main raat bhar so nahi paya. Raat ko jakar 3-4 baar check karke aaya par chaukidaar ne har baar yahi bataya ke Ravi Sahab vaapis nahi aaye the. Agle din breakfast table par bhi sirf 3 log hi maujood the. Kise pata tha ke us din ke baad khaane ki mez par sirf 3 log hi maujood hone wale hain"

Too good. Ek aadmi ghar se nikalta hai aur 20 saal tak wapas nahin ata hai.
Kahan gaya?
Kissi ne maar dala?
Koyi ladki ka chakar tha?
