"You know hamari zindagi mein kayi baatein aisi hoti hain jo ham apne gharwalo ke saath share karte hain par kabhi doston ko nahi bata sakte" Maine kehna shuru kiya "On the other hand, kayi saari baatein aisi hoti hain jo ham doston ko batate hain par ghrwalo ke saath share nahi kar sakte"
"I agree"
"If you ask my opinion, and this is based on the facts that i came across to in my professional life, zyadatar log apne gharwalo ke saath zyada close hote hain, immediate relatives you know, lagav aur mohabbat bhi gharwalo se hi zyada hota hai par baatein zyada share apne friends se karte hain. Ek insaan ke baare mein aksar uske gharwalo se zyada uske dost jaante hain"
"And you wanna ask me if i can tell you something about Ravi kyunki main uski relative aur dost dono thi" Vo meri baaton ka rukh samajhte hue mere sawal ka andaza laga kar boli.
"Exactly"
"Khaas toh kuchh main bhi nahi bata sakti except for the common stuff you know. Apne aap mein ek normal sa ladka tha Ravi aur kaafi tez bhi tha. Apne aas paas har kisi ko khush rakhne ki koshish karta tha. Aur ek baat thi jo ham teeno mein common thi"
"You mean Ravi, Raj and You?"
"Yeah. Aur vo ye ke ham teeno ko hi yahan pahadon mein rehna pasand tha. Jaise mujhe is jagah se lagaav hai vaisa hi lagaav un dono ko bhi tha"
"Aur yahi vajah hai ke beshumar daulat ke hote hue bhi Mr. Raj Rana yahin rehte hain"
"Yep. Main toh phir bhi apni studies ke liye yahan se bahar gayi thi par ye dono bhai toh padhe bhi yahin Dehradoon mein"
"Interesting"
"I know. Ham teeno bhai behen yahan bethkar plan banaya karte ke kahin nahi jaayenge, shaadi karne ke baad bhi yahin rahenge. Ye baat zyada meri taraf hoti thi kyunki vo toh ladke the par mujhe shaadi karke apni pati ke yahan jana tha. Main jana nahi chahti thi isliye apna dil behlane ke liye yahin bethkar kasam khaya karte ke ham log hamesha yahin rahenge"
"So did you ever marry?" Is sawal ka jawab vaise toh main janta tha par uske munh se sunna chahta tha.
"Yeah i did for a short while" Vo lambi saans chhodte hue boli "Things changed around here after Ravi disappeared you know. Pehle khushnuma mahaul hota tha par us incident ke baad se ajab khamoshi, manhoosiyat si chha gayi. Uncle thoda chide chide rehne lage aur aunty gumsum. Raj bhi apne aap mein reserved sa ho gaya. Mujhse bhi kabhi uski itni baat nahi hui uski Ravi ke baad, bas mamooli dua salam type. Ek lambe waqt tak Ravi ki talash jaari rahi aur is vajah se jaise baaki saari baatein, saare rishte bhula se diye gaye. Sabke dimaag par bas Ravi hi chhaya raha. Aur jab vo kahin nahi mila toh kisi ke dil mein gussa sa bhar gaya aur kisi ke dil mein dukh. Sab badal gaya uske baad. Jaise jaise din beet rahe the aur uska koi pata nahi chal raha tha, sabko jaise dil hi dil mein ye yakeen hota ja raha tha ke vo mar chuka hai"
"Aur aapko?"
"Main bhi sabse alag nahi thi. Kahin dil hi dil mein maine bhi ye baat accept kar li ke ya toh vo hamse koi rishta rakhna nahi chahta ya phir duniya se hi rishta khatam karke ek doosri duniya mein ja chuka hai"
"Did you marry someone from around here then?" Maine baat ka rukh phir se uski shaadi ki taraf moda.
"No, not from someone here. Us incident ka asar mujhpar bhi kaafi tha. Jahan pehle main yahan se jana nahi chahti thi vahin uske baad main yahan rehna nahi chahti thi so I married a Doctor from Mumbai"
"How long were you married?"
"A few years but it didnt work. Kabhi bani hi nahi uske saath. Shaadi ka nateeja divorce mein nikla aur main vaapis yahin aa gayi"
"Aur koi yahan jo Ravi ko janta ho, not from the family you know"
"Uska bas ek hi dost aur tha, Kanha"
"Kanha?"
"Haan yahan ke ek businessman ka beta tha"
"Tha?"
"Haan he is dead. He was found dead a few days after Ravi disappeared"
Ye case mein ek naya mod tha. Kisi ne bhi mujhe ba tak is baare mein nahi bataya tha.
"Pata chala kisne mara?"
"Nahi, case ki chhan-been ki gayi par kuchh pata nahi chala. Use goli maari gayi thi"
"Aur Ravi ke gayab hone ke kitne din baad ki baat hai ye?"
"Takreeban maheena bhar. Aur shayad Kanha ki maut ne bhi is yakeen ko sabke dil mein betha diya gaya ke Ravi bhi ab is duniya mein nahi raha"
"Were they close friends?"
"Oh they were the best friends. School aur college mein ek saath the, vo kehte hain na ke langotiya yaar. Vahi the dono"
"Ok"
"Ab 2 itne kareebi dost, ek lapata aur doosre ki laash ek mahine baad mili toh ye obvious tha ke jo kuchh bhi hua usmein dono hi involved the. Pehle toh sabko laga ke Ravi ne hi Kanha ko mara hai isliye bhaag gaya par phir dheere dheere ye baat galat saabit ho gayi"
"Vo kaise?"
"Exactly toh main bhi nahi jaanti par police investigation mein ye pata chala ke maheene bhar se Kanha khud bhi Ravi ko dhoondhne mein laga hua tha, usko khud bhi idea nahi tha ke Ravi kahan hai. Police ne usse bhi sawal jawab kiya par kuchh suraag nahi mila. Aur phir ek hafte baad use bhi maar diya gaya"
"Toh final assumption phir ye bana ke kisi ne pehle Ravi ko mara aur phir ek hafte baad Kanha ko? Aur jo bhi vajah thi aisa karne ki, usmein dono hi dost poori tarah involved the varna Kanha ko maarne ka koi matlab nahi tha?"
"Ya phir ye ke Ravi ke gayab hone ke baare mein Kanha ko koi baat pata chal gayi thi jisse ke kisi ko apne uper khatra mehsoos hua aur isliye Kanha ko bhi hamesha ke liye khamosh kar diya gaya."
"Aap Ravi se aakhri baar kab mili thi?"
"Uske gayab hone se koi 3-4 din pehle. Un dino kaafi pareshan sa rehne laga tha vo"
"Vajah?"
"Kabhi usne batayi hi nahi. Maine kayi baar puchha, aur Raj ne bhi par usne har baar ye kehkar taal diya ke aisa kuchh nahi hai and we both are imagining things"
"Unke batane ke siwa aapne kuchh aisa dekha ya suna ho jisko lekar vo itna pareshan the?"
"Nahi kuchh bhi. Jo bhi baat use pareshan kar rahi thi usne use hamse bakhubhi chhupa kar rakha. Mujhe toh uske gayab hone ke baad pata chala ke vo batwara chahta tha, usne toh kabhi ham par ye baat bhi nahi khulne di"
"You really believe ke vo batwara hi chahte the?"
"Samajh toh nahi aata ke vo aisa kyun chahta tha par is baat ko na maanne ki koi vajah bhi toh nahi. Yun toh sara business kaam vagerah tab vahi dekha karta tha, paisa uske haath mein khula tha balki yun kahiye ke sab kuchh usi ke haath mein tha. Aunty ne mujhe bataya tha ke Uncle toh kabhi usse kuchh puchhte tak nahi the ke kahan se kitna paisa aaya aur kahan gaya"
"Hmmm, interesting"
Tabhi pichhe mandir mein aarti shuru ho gayi aur main aur Sakshi bhi mandir ke andar chale gaye. Uske baad ham dono ke beech is mamle ko lekar koi baat nahi hui. Aarti ke baad ham idhar udhar ki baatein karte ghar aa gaye.
Raat ko dinner ke baad main sone hi ja raha tha ke mera phone baj utha. Maine phone utha kar dekha, call "Inspector Falana Falana" ki thi.
"Kaise hain Sir?" Maine phone uthaya toh doosri taraf se Negi ki aawaz aayi "Disturb toh nahi kiya"
"Nahi bilkul nahi, kuchh khaas kar bhi nahi raha tha main. Bataiye kaise yaad kiya"
"Sir vo files kahi thi na aapne, Ravi Rana wale case ki"
"Ji haan"
"Maine mangva li hain Sir"
"Already?" Mujhe taajjub hua ke usne itni jaldi kaam kar bhi diya. Abhi aaj dopahar hi toh mila tha main usse.
"Haan Sir vo aapke jaane ke baad hi maine Hawaldar ko Shimla ki taraf bhej diya, shaam tak vo lekar aa gaya"
"Well, that was quick. Thanks a lot"
"Ismein thanks ki kya baat hain sir, aap subah aakar files dekh lijiyega"
"Mera ek kaam kar sakte hain?"
"Ji zaroor, boliye"
"Kya vo files aap yahan guest house bhijva sakte hain, agar koi problem na ho toh. I would like to keep the files for a few days and see them aaram se. Aise ek baar nazar maarne par shayad koi baat nazar se nikal jaaye"
Main usse ek case ki police files mere paas chhodne ko keh raha tha, is baat par vo thoda jhijhka.
"Sir ...." Vo sochta hua bola.
"Koi problem hai toh main Mrs. Rana ko bolkar commissioner sahab ko phone kara deta hoon"
"Arrey nahi Sir, uski kya zaroorat hai. Main kal subah aakar de jaoonga" Commissioner ki baat par vo fauran bola.
"Aap kyun takleef karte hain, kisi ke haath bhijva dijiyega"
"Takleef ki koi baat nahi hai Sir. Is bahane aapse phir mulaqat bhi ho jaayegi"
"All right then, i will see you in the morning" Kehkar maine line disconnect kar di.
Maine aaj tak jitne bhi cases investigate kiye the, unmein kayi police wale mujhe aise bhi mile jinhone kaafi madad ki aur kayi aisi jinhone raaste mein sirf patthar hi adaye. Negi jis josh ke saath badh chadhkar meri madad karne par utawla tha, usse mujhe ehsaas hua ke usko apne saath lene ka mera faisla sahi tha.
Main sone hi laga tha ke cell ki ghanti phir baji. Maine phone utha kar dekha, ek message tha. Kamini ka.
"Kabhi nazar-e-inayat is taraf bhi kar liya kijiye"
Main message padhkar muskuraya aur jawab diya.
"Tu soyi nahi ab tak?"
Thodi der baad jawab aaya.
"Tum bhi toh nahi soye, kya kar rahe the?"
"Aise hi thoda kaam. Tu kya kar rahi thi?" Maine likh kar bheja.
"Tumhare baare mein soch rahi thi" Usne message aur uske saath ek kiss wala smiley bana kar bheja.
Vo mujhpar dil-o-jaan si fida thi, hamesha se thi. Shayad uski zindagi mein main akela hi mard tha jise usne is nazar se dekha tha. Uski deewangi ki had yahan tak thi ke usne mujhe ek baar ye tak keh diya tha ke agar koi mard uske kareeb aaya toh sirf main hi ho-unga. Agar main nahi toh saari zindagi vo kisi aur ko apna shareer chhune tak nahi degi.
Main janta tha ke mere bete ko ek maan ki talash hai. Vo hamesha apni Dadi ke saath nahi reh sakta. Meri maan boodhi ho chali thi aur der sawer unhein is duniya se chale jana tha, phir uske baad Vikram ka khyaal kaun rakhta. Kamini mere liye ek bahut achhi biwi aur Vikram ke liye ek achhi maan saabit ho sakti thi par jaane kyun hazar koshish ke baad bhi main use dekhne ka apna nazariya kabhi badal nahi saka.
Main bistar par leta, Kamini ko good night ka message kiya aur aankhen band karke sochne laga. Ye sab shuru hua tha us din jab hamare college mein ek nayi ladki aayi thi, Renuka Sinha.
Aate hi vo jaise college ke har ladke aur ladki ke liye ek topic ka charcha ban gayi. Saari ladkiyan usse jalti aur ladke uske aage pichhe chakkar lagate, ke kisi tarah vo ek nazar unhein dekh le. Iski vajah se uski had khoobsurati. Gora rang, medium height, patli si kamar, kaale lambe baal, badi badi aankhen aur is sab par vo jis tarah se apne aapko carry karti thi vo uske husn mein chaar chand laga deta tha. Vo chalti toh is tarah jaise sara zamana uske kadmon mein ho aur kisi se baat karti toh is tarah jaise uspar ehsaan kar rahi ho.
Students toh students, kuchh teachers bhi is taak mein rehte the ke shayad vo unse pat jaaye. Kya kunware, kya shaadi shuda, poora college jaise usi ke chakkar mein tha.
Aur vo chakkar mein padi toh mere. Ek aise insaan ke jo shayad poore college mein akela tha jise Renuka Sinha naam mein koi dilchaspi nahi thi.

Chapter 6 : Start Of An Affair

Main aur Renuka ek hi class mein tha. Hamari class mein seating intezaam aisa nahi tha jaisa ke aksar schools aur colleges mein dekha jata hai, yaani ke ladkiyan saari class ke ek taraf aur ladke ek saath doosri taraf. School mein toh mere bhi aisa hi tha par college mein nahi. Yahan kisi ki koi decided seat nahi thi, jo jahan chahe beth jaaye. Aisa kuchh nahi tha ke ladke ek taraf aur ladkiyan ek taraf.
Renuka ko apni khoobsurati ka poora andaza tha aur vo iska poora fayda bhi uthati thi. Jahan ladkiyan use dekh dekh jalti kudhti rehti thi vahin Ladke uspar jaan chhidakte the aur uske ek ishara par kuchh bhi karne ko taiyyar the. Nateeja ye ke use kisi maharani ki tarah treat kiya jata tha. Ghar se koi na koi car leke pick karne jata aur phir izzat ke saath ghar chhoda bhi jata. Kisi se bhi vo sidhe munh baat nahi karti thi aur ladkiyon se toh bilkul bhi nahi. Uski har farmaish ko fauran poora kiya jata aur mujhe nai lagta ke college canteen mein kabhi usne paise khud diye honge. Use aur uske aas paas chakkar lagate ladkon ko dekh ek vo sher yaad aata tha,
Kuchh is tarah se aaj vo pehlu nasheen rahe,
Jab tak hamare saath rahe, ham nahi rahe,
Allah re chashm-e-yaar ki mojiz bayaniyan,
Har ek ko hai ghumaan ke mukhatib ham hi rahe ....
Jis din vo kisi se pyaar se do alfaaz bol leti us din toh jaise us ladke ke chaandi ho jaati. Poore college mein vo dhindhora peet-ta phirta ke Renuka ne aaj usse kya baat ki aur kis tarah se baat ki. Jo use ghar se lene jata ya use ghar chhod kar aata, uski kismet par college ka har ladka rashq kiya karta. Halat ye ho gayi thi ke agar vo chahti toh bina exam diye pass ho sakti thi, karna sirf ye tha ke uspar lattoo professors ko dekh kar bas muskura dena tha.
Is sabe bilkul vipreet main apne college mein bahut hi serious students mein aata tha. Main un logon mein se tha jo apne career ko bahut seriously lete the aur college sirf padhne jaya karte the. Main kabhi apni academic life mein top student nahi raha par koshish poori karta tha top students mein aane ki. Mujhe lagan thi kuchh karne ki, zindagi mein aage badhne ki aur yahi vajah thi ke main kabhi pyaar mohabbat ke chakkar mein Kamini ke saath bhi nahi pada jo ke ek bahut hi achhi ladki thi. Renuka jaisi ladki ke aage pichhe chakkar katna toh kahin mere khwaab aur khyaal mein bhi nahi tha.
Ek din main thoda upset tha aur college mein kaafi gumsum ek kone mein betha tha. Professor class mein aaya nahi isliye sab bethe ek doosre se baatein kar rahe the. Ladkiyan saari saath bethi jaane kya baat kar rahi thi par ek bas Renuka hi thi jo unse hatkar bethi thi, ladko ke beech. Class ke saare ladke use ghere bethe the aur use vahi maharani wala treatment diya ja raha tha. Yakeen toh mujhe poora tha ke ladkiyon mein bhi us waqt discussion ka topic Renuka hi thi.
Mere saamne table par ek pani ki bottle rakhi thi jo main aksar saath rakhta tha.
College mein hamari class 4th floor par thi aur peene ke pani ka intezaam sirf ground floor par tha yani ke agar pyaas lage toh 3 floors utar kar neeche aao aur phir chadh kar uper jao. Aksar ye hota tha ke neeche aakar pani peene ke baad 3 floor chadhne mein uper pahunchne tak phir pyaas lagne lagti thi jis vajah se kaafi students apne bag mein ek pani ki bottle laaya karte the. Kayi baar hamne college administration ke saamne is baat ko lekar halla machaya par pani ka intezaam kabhi nahi kiya gaya.
Us din sabse bekhabar main akela betha ek book mein uljha hua tha ke achanak Renuka ne meri taraf palat kar mujhse kaha.
"Hey You, whatever your name is"
Na toh maine kabhi usse baat ki thi aur na hi kabhi usne mujhse isliye mujhe laga ke kisi aur ko keh rahi hai. Main ansuna kar diya toh usne phir kaha.
"Hey You" Aur is baar thoda zor se kaha.
Maine palat kar uski taraf dekha.
"Ye pani ki bottle idhar lakar dena" Usne aisa kaha jaise main koi bandhua mazdoor hoon, uske baap ka ghulam. Main chid gaya aur use ignore karke phir apni book ki taraf dekhne laga.
"Pani ki bottle" Is baar usne aur zor se kaha toh fauran ek ladka uthkar meri taraf aane laga. Usne vaapis us ladke ko bethne ka ishara kiya toh vo aise betha jaise koi achha bachcha apni maan ka hukum maan raha ho.
"Pani ki bottle Dena" Usne phir kaha.
"Pani ki bottle chahiye?" Main bottle ka dhakkan kholta hua bola "Toh aakar khud lo"
Maine bhi jawab kaafi bad-tameezi se diya tha par jaane use kya soojha ke vo uthi aur chalti hui meri taraf aane lagi. Jab maine dekha ke vo aa rahi hai toh maine bottle apne munh se lagayi aur jab tak ke vo mere paas aati, tab tak main poori bottle khaali kar chuka tha.
"Bottle chahiye thi na?" Maine khaali bottle uski taraf badhayi "Ye lo aur jao pani bharke lao ground floor se"
Uski shakal aisi ho gayi jaise kisi ne abhi abhi use thappad maar diya ho. Ladko ke munh hairat se khule reh gaye aur saari ladkiyon ke chehre par aisi muskurahat pheli jaise un sabki shaadiyan tay ho gayi hon.
Us din main college ka hot topic ban gaya. Har koi yahi baat kar raha tha ke maine kaise Renuka ke saath bad-tameezi se baat ki. Saari ladkiyan aur kuchh ladke jinki taraf Renuka kabhi palat kar bhi nahi dekhti thi unke liye main hero ho gaya tha aur vo ladke jinke saath vo uthti bethti thi vo sab mujhe college ke bahar pakadne ki taiyyari kar rahe the taaki mujhe maza chakha saken.
Usi din main college ki canteen mein betha ek Red-Bull pi raha tha ke tabhi Renuka kuchh ladkon ke saath aayi. Mujhe akela Red-Bull pita dekh kar vo mujhe sunane ke liye zor se boli,
"Chhote bachche aisi cheeze nahi peete, doodh piyo doodh"
Main janta tha ke vo mujhe suna rahi hai. Ladkiyon ke saath main hamesha kaafi izzat se pesh aata tha aur takreeban college ki har vo ladki jo mujhe jaanti thi, mujhe pasand karti thi. Par Renuka ke akkhad mijaaz ki vajah se jaane mujhe kya soojha ke maine usse vo keh diya jo ke maine kabhi zindagi mein nahi socha tha ke main ek ladki se kahunga.
Main uski taraf palta aur uski aankhon mein dekha.
"Doodh?" Phir maine nazar jaan boojh kar is tarah se ke use bhi pata chal jaaye uske chehre se hata kar uski seene par laga di aur kaha "Aao pila do"
Us din toh jaise college mein hungama sa ho gaya tha. Jungle mein shayad aag bhi itni tezi se nahi phelti jitni tezi se mere Renika se is tarah pesh aane ki baat pheli.
Mujhe college ke baad kuchh aur kaam bhi the isliye main sidha ghar nahi aaya. Vo kaam niptaye, phir ek dost ke ghar gaya aur dinner bhi uske saathi hi kiya. Phir vahan se ek movie dekhne chale gaye aur uske baad maine apne dost ko ghar drop kar diya. Jab tak main apne ghar ki taraf rawana hua tab tak raat ka 1 baj chuka tha. Sadkon par gaadiyan kaafi kam ho gayi thi aur mere ghar ke aas paas toh jaise bilkul marghat sannata hi chhaya hua tha. Mere ghar se kuchh door hi achanak 3 gaadiyan meri bike ke aas paas aayi aur mujhe rukne par majboor kar diya.
Mere rukte hi gaadiyon se 9-10 ladke nikle. Unmein se main kisi ko bhi na toh janta tha aur na pehchanta tha. Par haan ek ladka tha jisne apne sar par jacket ka hood dala hua tha aur mujhe laga ke maine use apne college mein dekha hai. Main samajh gaya ke mujhe kyun roka gaya hai. Pata nahi vo kabse mera pichha kar rahe the aur mujhe kahin akele mein pakadne ka mauka dhoondh rahe the.
"Kyun be? Bada hero ban raha hai tu?" Ek ne kaha. Vo sab mujhe gher kar khade ho gaye the.
"Haan toh?" Maine rookhe se andaaz mein jawab diya.
"Toh ye ke kal tu Renuka se maafi maangega, samjha?"
"Kis baat ki?"
"Jo aaj kiya us baat ki"
"Aur na maangi toh?"
Usne meri baat ka jawab diye bina muskurate hue baaki saare ladkon ki taraf dekha aur phir pichhe khadi cars ki taraf. Maine uski nazar ka pichha kiya toh mujhe andaza hua ke main us waqt apni soch se zyada serious situation mein tha.
Jahan ham khade the vo jagah sunsaan si thi. Koi ikki dukki hi gaadi udhar se guzarti thi. Pichhe gaadiyon ke darwaze khule hue the aur andar rakhi hui hockey sticks mujhe nazar aa rahi thi.
Main janta tha ke samajhdari isi baat mein thi ke is waqt unki haan mein haan milata aur vahan se nikal leta. In sab maamlon mein kam main bhi koi kam nahi tha aur yahi vajah thi ke college ke ladkon mein se khud koi nahi aaya tha. Kyunki vo jaante the ke mujhe is tarah se yun akele mein pakadne ka matlab tha ke phir main un sabko baad mein ek ek karke akela pakadta. Jo vo yahan mere saath karte, baad mein main unke saath karta.
Par jaane kyun mujhe us waqt khud pichhe hatna bilkul bhi ganwara nahi hua.
"Chal abhi side ho" Maine bike ke aage khade ladke se kaha, "Na toh mere paas us bekaar cheez ke liye time hai jise tum Renuka Sinha kehte ho aur na hi tum jaise chalte phirte koode kachre ke liye time hai"
"To matlab tu maafi nahi maangega?"
"Sawal hi nahi uthta. Main apne ghar mein uske naam ki kutti tak na paalun"
Mera itna kehna hi tha ke usne achanak mera collar pakad liya. Uski is achanak harkat se main ekdam baukhla sa gaya aur isse pehle ke main khud hi kuchh soch pata, maine haath chhod diya aur uske chehre par ek zordar thappad maar diya.
Uske baad kya hua mujhe kuchh theek se yaad nahi. Bas itna pata tha ke meri motorcycle ek taraf giri padi aur main doosri taraf. Un saare ladkon ne mujhe gher rakha tha aur mujh par chaaro taraf se laatein pad rahi thi. Koi 10 - 15 minute tak jamkar meri kutaai ki gayi. Phir usi ladke ne jo ke mujhse baat kar raha tha mere baal pakad kar mujhe sidha khada kiya.
"Khada ho saale. Tujhe teri aukaat dikhata hoon" Vo mere baal pakde hue bola.
"Dikha le, aaj main akela hoon toh kar le apne dil ki. Par yaad rakhna, baari meri bhi aayegi. Tum mein se ek ek ka maine pocha na banaya toh kehna" Maine badi mushkil se kaha. Meri shirt phat chuki thi, munh se khoon beh raha tha aur shareer kayi jagahon par buri tarah se dard kar raha tha.
"Teri toh ... "Meri baat sunkar us ladke ne kaha aur vo ek baar phir mujh par chaalu ho gaya. Har taraf se mujh par vaar kiye ja rahe the aur main apne haathon se apna chehra bachane ki koshish kar raha tha.
"Munh kya chhupa raha hai saale ... "Us ladke ne kehte hue mere dono haath pakde aur mere chehre se hatane ki koshish ki. Maine thodi himmat jutaayi aur apne haath jhatak kar ek haath se uska collar pakda aur doosra haath uski gardan par jakad diya.
Mujhe yaad nahi kitni der tak par usne mujhse chhutne ki kaafi koshish ki thi. Vo jitni koshish karta main apni haath ki giraft uski gardan par utni hi kas deta. Uske gale ka agla hissa jise adams apple aur hindi mein tentua kehte hain meri mutthi mein tha aur main poora zor laga kar daba raha tha. Uski haalat kharab ho chali thi aur uske saath ke ladke bhi use meri pakad se chhutane ki nakam koshish kar rahe the.
Main khud bhi janta tha ke vo ladka us waqt mar sakta tha par main uska gala chhodne ko taiyyyar nahi tha. Jab aur kuchh bas nahi chala toh vo ladke car se hockey sticks utha laaye aur vo mujh par barsani shuru kar di, khaas taur se meri kalaiyon par taaki main us ladke ko chhod doon. Par hua iska ulta hi, vo jitna mujhe hockeys maarte main utni hi zor se us ladke ka gala dabane ki koshish karta. Ab sochta hoon toh aisa lagta hai jaise main us waqt use jaan se maarne ki koshsih hi kar raha tha.
Aur shayad khud use bhi ehsaas ho gaya tha ke main use jaan se maar doonga. Uski dono aankhen palat gayi thi aur vo jaise meri giraft mein jhoolne sa lag gaya tha. Badi koshish karke usne apne dono haath uthaye aur mere aage jod diye, jaise vinti kar raha ho ke main uska gala chhod doon.
Uske saathiyon ne jab dekha ke main uski jaan lene par utar aaya hoon aur lakh koshish ke baad bhi 8-9 ladke milkar use nahi chhuda paaye toh vo samajh gaye ke mamla murder ka banne wala tha. Tab tak us ladke ki aankhen poori tarah palat chuki thi aur munh se laar behne lagi thi. Ab aalam ye tha ke uske saathi mujhe marna chhod khade chup chap dekh rahe the aur vo mere aage haath jode bejaan se meri giraft mein jhool sa gaya tha. Us waqt ek tarah se maine uska gala pakad kar use khada kar rakha tha varna vo toh kabka gir chuka hota.
"Mar gaya ye, nikal yahan se" Kisi ek ladke ne kaha aur vo fauran apni gaadiyan lekar vahan se bhaag gaye.
Unke jaane ke baad maine uska gala chhoda aur vo fauran sadak par gir gaya. Ek pal ke liye toh mujhe bhi laga ke vo mar gaya hai par jab kuchh seconds baad vo khaansne laga toh main samajh gaya ke abhi zinda tha. Mujh par hockeys se kaafi vaar kiye gaye the. Khoon ab mere sar se bhi beh raha tha par gussa thanda nahi hua tha. Main abhi bhi use aur marna chahta tha par jaise hi aage ko badha chakkar khakar khud neeche gir pada aur behosh ho gaya.

Chapter 5 - Sakshi Rana

Ham Chail se bahar nikle hi the ke maine us din Sharma se milne ka apna irada badal diya. Aise achanak ek din uske darwaze par pahunch jana aur ek 20 saal purane case ke baare mein sawal karne lag jana mujhe kuchh theek nahi laga. Behtar yahi hota ke main usse ek baar pehle phone par baat kar leta aur appointment lekar jata. Aur usse milne jaane se pehle ek baar police files par nazar maar lena bhi shayad theek rehta.
"Ek kaam karo, vaapis Bungalow ki taraf hi le lo" Maine driver ko kaha toh usne gaadi vaapis guest house ki taraf ghuma di.
Us din maine aur kuchh nahi kiya. Ghar betha sochta raha ke kis jagah se shuruat ki jaaye. Jab kuchh aur nahi soojha toh yahi decide kiya ke filhal sabse behtar yahi hai ke Ravi Rana ke baare mein zyada se zyada pata kiya jaaye. Vo kis tarah ka aadmi tha, kiske saath uthta bethta tha, uske dost kaun tha, kya uski zindagi mein koi ladki thi vagerah vagerah. Uske saath jo kuchh bhi hua tha uska jawab 20 saal pehle ki uski zindagi mein hi kahin tha. Agar mujhe jaanna hai ke us raat vo ghar se gaya toh lauta kyun nahi toh uske liye mujhe pehle ye jaanna hoga ke us raaat se pehle ki uski zindagi kaisi thi.
Shaam dhalne lagi toh maine ek baar phir Kaali ka Tibba ki taraf jaane ka irada banaya. Mausam mein khaasi thandak thi isliye maine apni jacket pehni aur guest house se nikal kar paida hi mandir ki aur chal pada.
Main kuchh door hi gaya tha ke pichhe ke kisi ke aane ki aahat hui. Palat kar dekha toh Sakshi Rana jogging karti hui aa rahi thi.
"Tibbe ki taraf ja rahe ho?" Vo mere kareeb aakar ruki.
"Haan, socha mandir hi ho aaya jaaye. Mata ke saath saath doobte sooraj ka ek behtareen nazara bhi dekhne ko mil jaayega"
"Well you arent dressed for jogging so i cant ask you for that. Would you mind if i walk with you?
"Ismein mind karne wali koi baat hi nahi hai, ek se bhale do" Maine muskurate hue kaha.
Vo mere saath saath hi chalne lagi. Use dekh kar andaza laga pana mushkil tha par uski umar koi 30-35 ke beech rahi hogi aur vo ek behad khoobsurat aurat thi. Shareer par kahin naam-matra bhi charbi nahi aur use yun shaam ko pahadon par bhaagte dekh charbi ka na hona samajh aata tha. Lambe kaale baal jinhein usne us waqt samet kar joode ki tarah sar par baandha hua tha, badi badi kaali aankhen, gora chitta rang, takreeban 5"6 height, kasa hua jism, halka bhaari seena, patli si kamar. In short vo ek vaisi hi aurat thi jaisi ki aksar TV magazines mein models ke roop mein nazar aati hain.
"I can tell that you like what you see" Usne shayad meri nazar bhaanp li thi.
"Ji?" Main baukhlate hue bola.
"Its ok" Vo mere baukhlane par dil khol kar hasi "I am used to that and honestly, i quite like it"
"I am sorry" Main samajh gaya ke meri chori pakdi gayi. Use saath chalte hue main uper se neeche tak dekh raha tha aur vo samajh gayi thi.
"Nothing to be sorry about, i know i am pretty and i admire an admirer"
"Still, i am really sorry" Maine phir bhi maafi maangi.
"Its ok, you were nothing. You should see the drooling eyes of other people. You were only just checking me out"
"Well i wasnt really" Maine kaha. Ham dono dheemi chaal mein mandir ki taraf badh rahe the.
"What do you mean?"
"I wasnt really checking you out. What did catch my eye actually was how physically fit you are as opposed to other women of our country. I mean by this age, they are exact opposite of physically fit"
"Not only women though"
"Yeah true, even the middle aged men" Maine haami bhari.
"Well thanks for the compliment"
"So you have lived here all your life?"
"Yeah, Well most of it"
"And if you dont mind, may i ask what you do for living?"
"Ha ha ha" Vo meri baat sunkar phir has padi "Living is not a problem actually. With a rich family like mine, i could spend my life doing nothing. But if you meant my profession,then I am a doctor"
"A doctor?"
"Yeah, a physician"
"Well that explains your physical fitness. A doctor would certainly see that she remains fit and fine"
"Not true entirely. Half of the doctors these days have a belly sticking out with a cigarette in their mouths"
"I guess" Maine jawab diya "Agar aap bura na maanein toh ek baat puchh sakta hoon?"
"Zaroor"
"Why here?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you are a rich woman and a beautiful indeed. And on top of it, you are a doctor too. So why live here in such a small town?"
"Honestly i dont know, i guess it runs in the family. Ours is a family of people from the hills. Our generations have lived here and maybe that is why i like living here too. I mean i have been to cities, did my doctorate in London but i never quite felt comfortable there. Too loud and noisy for me i would say. Here on the other hand, i feel at peace"
"Interesting"
'Yeah i guess it is"
"Do you practice?"
"Yeah, in Shimla"
Baat karte karte ham dono Tibbe par bane mandir tak pahunch gaye.
"Kuchh aur bhi puchhna chahta tha main"
"Sure"
"Mrs. Rana ne bataya ke aapne unhein suggest kiya tha mera naam, for this job you know. Why?"
"What do you mean why? Kehti hui vo boundary wall ke paas ja khadi hui aur saamne doobte sooraj ko dekhti hui boli "Beautiful, isnt it?"
"It is indeed" Main bhi uske saath ja khada hua "Mere kehne ka matlab tha ke is kaam ke liye mera naam hi kyun? Paise ki koi kami nahi aapke ghar mein, aap is kaam ke liye koi achhe se achha aadmi chun sakti thi"
"Vahi toh kiya, achhe se achha aadmi hi chuna maine" Vo muskurati hui boli.
"Come on, I am serious"
"And so am i" Vo bhi meri baat sun sanjeeda ho gayi "Why do you feel you are any less than anyone else? Main kaafi arse se aapke kaam ko follow kar rahi hoon. I have read several of your articles, both in the newspaper and online. Aur jis tarah se aapne kayi aise cases ko expose kiya jinpar har koi give up kar chuka tha vo qabil-e-tareef hai"
"Thanks"
"Well you deserve every bit of the praise. And anyways, aapko toh khush hona chahiye ke maine aapka naam suggest kiya. I am pretty sure ke paise toh achhe khaase diye honge aunty ne"
"Yeah and that actually brings up another question. Jo ek baat main Mrs. Rana se bhi puchhna chah raha tha par kuchh theek sa nahi laga isliye chup reh gaya"
"Puchhiye"
"Why now?"
"Why now what?"
"I mean its 20 years that her son is missing and she herself is pretty sure ke he is not alive anymore. So why now? I mean 20 saal tak khamosh rehne ke baad ab achanak?"
"Kisne kaha ke 20 saal tak vo khamoshi thi?"
"No i mean unhone bataya ke pehle bhi koshish ki ja chuki hai par Ravi ka kahin kuchh pata nahi chala. Thats what surprised me actually. Ke ab itne waqt baad mujhe itne paise dekar phir usi raah par bhejna jahan se pehle koi bhi koi nateeja nikal kar nahi la saka? Main unse ye puchha chahta tha par phir laga ke vo kahin bura na maan jaayen"
"Wow, an investigator who is apprehensive of asking questions? Aap kabse is baare mein sochne lage ke aapke sawal ka kisi ko bura na lage?"
"Well actually jab saamne koi Mrs. Rana jaise aurat bethi ho aur itni badi family toh sochna padta hai"
"Aunty vaisi hain nahi jaisi aap soch rahe ho"
"Matlab?"
"Matlab ke vo padhi likhi hain, highly qualified hain, Foreign degree hai unke paas in business management par vo dil se aaj bhi ek hindustani seedhi saadi aurat hain, ek typical housewife you know"
"Main samjha nahi"
"Well you see hers and my uncle's was an arrange marriage. My uncle was a very dabang kism ke insaan. Har koi unse dabkar aur darkar rehta tha aur aisi hi aunty ke saath bhi hua. Ek toh unka thoda shy nature aur uper se mere uncle ka dabang kism ka nature toh vo zyada bolti nahi thi uncle ke saamne. Zyadatar baaton mein unki haan mein haan hi mila deti thi. Aur uper se all the unfortunate events added more to this nature of her's"
"Unfortunate events?"
"Yeah, didnt she tell you about her kids that were born before Ravi and Raj"
"Oh, that. Yeah she did"
"Well you after she was unable to give a health and alive kid to her husband toh vo thoda sa aur dab gayin. You know how our society is. Har koi chahta tha ke vo Rana khandaan ko ek chirag dein, ek beta jo vo nahi kar pa rahi thi toh quite obvious tha that she too somewhere in her heart started blaming herself. Jab in sabke bavajood bhi uncle ne unhein na chhoda, na sataya, na kuchh kaha aur unke saath usi pyaar se pesh aate rahe toh vo kahin dil mein unka ehsaan maanne lagi. She literally worshipped her husband you know"
"Ok"
"Phir Raj aur Ravi aaye aur sab sahi ho gaya. Raj mere uncle ka favourite tha aur aunty ki preference thodi Ravi ki taraf zyada thi"
"Yeah thats quite natural, hota hai aisa, parents picking one kid slightly more over the other"
"Uske baad phir Ravi gayab ho gaya aur vo bhi uncle se property ko lekar. Yun toh uncle ne use dhoondhne ki kaafi koshish ki par mujhe lagta hai ke aunty ke dil mein kahin ye baat rahi ke ye koshish vaisi nahi hui jaisi honi chahiye thi, you know with the intensity that should have been given to it. Par because of her loyalty towards her husband, she never questioned him"
"And now when he is no more, she is giving a try of her own. Apni ek aakhri koshish kar rahi hain, poori mehnat ke saath"
"Yes, she talked to me about it a few times. And recently jab aapne vo murder case expose kiya jise sab bhool chuke the toh maine ek din yun hi aapka naam suggest kar diya. Phir hamare family lawyer hain Mr. Mehta unse contact kiya gaya"
"And he provided more details about me"
"Correct, and here you are. Right on the case"
"Well i hope ke kuchh pata laga sakoon"
"I am sure you will"
Saamne sooraj dheere dheere ek bade ke pahad ke pichhe sar chhupane laga tha, jaise koi nayi naweli dulhan sharma kar ghoonghat mein apna chehra chhupa rahi ho. Pichhe mandir mein pujari ne shaam ki aarti ki taiyyariyan shuru kar di thi.
"I always feel at peace when i come here you know. Main aur Ravi aksar aaya karte the yahan par aur us waqt toh itna achha bhi nahi tha kuchh. Sirf ye purana sa ek mandir bana hua tha aur charron taraf ped. Ye naya mandir aur ye compound toh haal filhal mein hi banaya gaya hai"
"Aap aur Ravi?"
"Yeah, we were quite good friends you know. Bahut masti karte the ham log aapas mein"
"Aap aur Ravi?" Maine phir vahi baat dohrayi.
"Yeah, why?" Vo apne maathe par shikan daalte hue boli.
"You must be quite young then"
"No, i was as old as he was"
"Oh my god !!!" Maine hairat mein kaha "Really?"
"Oh i get it" Vo meri baat samajhte hue boli "How old did you think i was"
"Honestly, early thirties"
"Well thank you for the compliment par aapne meri umar takreeban 10 saal pichhe kar di. I am in my early forties. Main Ravi aur Raj same age group ke the. Main Ravi se sirf 2 mahine chhoti thi"
"Wow, its really hard to tell"
"Thanks again"
"Agar aap bura na maanein toh kya main aapse bhi kuchh sawal kar sakta hoon case ke mutaabik?"
"Zaroor, fire away"

Very interesting. This lady is so pretty despite her age and the way she is described made me fall for her. Wow

"You know hamari zindagi mein kayi baatein aisi hoti hain jo ham apne gharwalo ke saath share karte hain par kabhi doston ko nahi bata sakte" Maine kehna shuru kiya "On the other hand, kayi saari baatein aisi hoti hain jo ham doston ko batate hain par ghrwalo ke saath share nahi kar sakte"
"I agree"
"If you ask my opinion, and this is based on the facts that i came across to in my professional life, zyadatar log apne gharwalo ke saath zyada close hote hain, immediate relatives you know, lagav aur mohabbat bhi gharwalo se hi zyada hota hai par baatein zyada share apne friends se karte hain. Ek insaan ke baare mein aksar uske gharwalo se zyada uske dost jaante hain"
"And you wanna ask me if i can tell you something about Ravi kyunki main uski relative aur dost dono thi" Vo meri baaton ka rukh samajhte hue mere sawal ka andaza laga kar boli.
"Exactly"
"Khaas toh kuchh main bhi nahi bata sakti except for the common stuff you know. Apne aap mein ek normal sa ladka tha Ravi aur kaafi tez bhi tha. Apne aas paas har kisi ko khush rakhne ki koshish karta tha. Aur ek baat thi jo ham teeno mein common thi"
"You mean Ravi, Raj and You?"
"Yeah. Aur vo ye ke ham teeno ko hi yahan pahadon mein rehna pasand tha. Jaise mujhe is jagah se lagaav hai vaisa hi lagaav un dono ko bhi tha"
"Aur yahi vajah hai ke beshumar daulat ke hote hue bhi Mr. Raj Rana yahin rehte hain"
"Yep. Main toh phir bhi apni studies ke liye yahan se bahar gayi thi par ye dono bhai toh padhe bhi yahin Dehradoon mein"
"Interesting"
"I know. Ham teeno bhai behen yahan bethkar plan banaya karte ke kahin nahi jaayenge, shaadi karne ke baad bhi yahin rahenge. Ye baat zyada meri taraf hoti thi kyunki vo toh ladke the par mujhe shaadi karke apni pati ke yahan jana tha. Main jana nahi chahti thi isliye apna dil behlane ke liye yahin bethkar kasam khaya karte ke ham log hamesha yahin rahenge"
"So did you ever marry?" Is sawal ka jawab vaise toh main janta tha par uske munh se sunna chahta tha.
"Yeah i did for a short while" Vo lambi saans chhodte hue boli "Things changed around here after Ravi disappeared you know. Pehle khushnuma mahaul hota tha par us incident ke baad se ajab khamoshi, manhoosiyat si chha gayi. Uncle thoda chide chide rehne lage aur aunty gumsum. Raj bhi apne aap mein reserved sa ho gaya. Mujhse bhi kabhi uski itni baat nahi hui uski Ravi ke baad, bas mamooli dua salam type. Ek lambe waqt tak Ravi ki talash jaari rahi aur is vajah se jaise baaki saari baatein, saare rishte bhula se diye gaye. Sabke dimaag par bas Ravi hi chhaya raha. Aur jab vo kahin nahi mila toh kisi ke dil mein gussa sa bhar gaya aur kisi ke dil mein dukh. Sab badal gaya uske baad. Jaise jaise din beet rahe the aur uska koi pata nahi chal raha tha, sabko jaise dil hi dil mein ye yakeen hota ja raha tha ke vo mar chuka hai"
"Aur aapko?"
"Main bhi sabse alag nahi thi. Kahin dil hi dil mein maine bhi ye baat accept kar li ke ya toh vo hamse koi rishta rakhna nahi chahta ya phir duniya se hi rishta khatam karke ek doosri duniya mein ja chuka hai"
"Did you marry someone from around here then?" Maine baat ka rukh phir se uski shaadi ki taraf moda.
"No, not from someone here. Us incident ka asar mujhpar bhi kaafi tha. Jahan pehle main yahan se jana nahi chahti thi vahin uske baad main yahan rehna nahi chahti thi so I married a Doctor from Mumbai"
"How long were you married?"
"A few years but it didnt work. Kabhi bani hi nahi uske saath. Shaadi ka nateeja divorce mein nikla aur main vaapis yahin aa gayi"
"Aur koi yahan jo Ravi ko janta ho, not from the family you know"
"Uska bas ek hi dost aur tha, Kanha"
"Kanha?"
"Haan yahan ke ek businessman ka beta tha"
"Tha?"
"Haan he is dead. He was found dead a few days after Ravi disappeared"
Ye case mein ek naya mod tha. Kisi ne bhi mujhe ba tak is baare mein nahi bataya tha.
"Pata chala kisne mara?"
"Nahi, case ki chhan-been ki gayi par kuchh pata nahi chala. Use goli maari gayi thi"
"Aur Ravi ke gayab hone ke kitne din baad ki baat hai ye?"
"Takreeban maheena bhar. Aur shayad Kanha ki maut ne bhi is yakeen ko sabke dil mein betha diya gaya ke Ravi bhi ab is duniya mein nahi raha"
"Were they close friends?"
"Oh they were the best friends. School aur college mein ek saath the, vo kehte hain na ke langotiya yaar. Vahi the dono"
"Ok"
"Ab 2 itne kareebi dost, ek lapata aur doosre ki laash ek mahine baad mili toh ye obvious tha ke jo kuchh bhi hua usmein dono hi involved the. Pehle toh sabko laga ke Ravi ne hi Kanha ko mara hai isliye bhaag gaya par phir dheere dheere ye baat galat saabit ho gayi"
"Vo kaise?"
"Exactly toh main bhi nahi jaanti par police investigation mein ye pata chala ke maheene bhar se Kanha khud bhi Ravi ko dhoondhne mein laga hua tha, usko khud bhi idea nahi tha ke Ravi kahan hai. Police ne usse bhi sawal jawab kiya par kuchh suraag nahi mila. Aur phir ek hafte baad use bhi maar diya gaya"
"Toh final assumption phir ye bana ke kisi ne pehle Ravi ko mara aur phir ek hafte baad Kanha ko? Aur jo bhi vajah thi aisa karne ki, usmein dono hi dost poori tarah involved the varna Kanha ko maarne ka koi matlab nahi tha?"
"Ya phir ye ke Ravi ke gayab hone ke baare mein Kanha ko koi baat pata chal gayi thi jisse ke kisi ko apne uper khatra mehsoos hua aur isliye Kanha ko bhi hamesha ke liye khamosh kar diya gaya."
"Aap Ravi se aakhri baar kab mili thi?"
"Uske gayab hone se koi 3-4 din pehle. Un dino kaafi pareshan sa rehne laga tha vo"
"Vajah?"
"Kabhi usne batayi hi nahi. Maine kayi baar puchha, aur Raj ne bhi par usne har baar ye kehkar taal diya ke aisa kuchh nahi hai and we both are imagining things"
"Unke batane ke siwa aapne kuchh aisa dekha ya suna ho jisko lekar vo itna pareshan the?"
"Nahi kuchh bhi. Jo bhi baat use pareshan kar rahi thi usne use hamse bakhubhi chhupa kar rakha. Mujhe toh uske gayab hone ke baad pata chala ke vo batwara chahta tha, usne toh kabhi ham par ye baat bhi nahi khulne di"
"You really believe ke vo batwara hi chahte the?"
"Samajh toh nahi aata ke vo aisa kyun chahta tha par is baat ko na maanne ki koi vajah bhi toh nahi. Yun toh sara business kaam vagerah tab vahi dekha karta tha, paisa uske haath mein khula tha balki yun kahiye ke sab kuchh usi ke haath mein tha. Aunty ne mujhe bataya tha ke Uncle toh kabhi usse kuchh puchhte tak nahi the ke kahan se kitna paisa aaya aur kahan gaya"
"Hmmm, interesting"
Tabhi pichhe mandir mein aarti shuru ho gayi aur main aur Sakshi bhi mandir ke andar chale gaye. Uske baad ham dono ke beech is mamle ko lekar koi baat nahi hui. Aarti ke baad ham idhar udhar ki baatein karte ghar aa gaye.
Raat ko dinner ke baad main sone hi ja raha tha ke mera phone baj utha. Maine phone utha kar dekha, call "Inspector Falana Falana" ki thi.
"Kaise hain Sir?" Maine phone uthaya toh doosri taraf se Negi ki aawaz aayi "Disturb toh nahi kiya"
"Nahi bilkul nahi, kuchh khaas kar bhi nahi raha tha main. Bataiye kaise yaad kiya"
"Sir vo files kahi thi na aapne, Ravi Rana wale case ki"
"Ji haan"
"Maine mangva li hain Sir"
"Already?" Mujhe taajjub hua ke usne itni jaldi kaam kar bhi diya. Abhi aaj dopahar hi toh mila tha main usse.
"Haan Sir vo aapke jaane ke baad hi maine Hawaldar ko Shimla ki taraf bhej diya, shaam tak vo lekar aa gaya"
"Well, that was quick. Thanks a lot"
"Ismein thanks ki kya baat hain sir, aap subah aakar files dekh lijiyega"
"Mera ek kaam kar sakte hain?"
"Ji zaroor, boliye"
"Kya vo files aap yahan guest house bhijva sakte hain, agar koi problem na ho toh. I would like to keep the files for a few days and see them aaram se. Aise ek baar nazar maarne par shayad koi baat nazar se nikal jaaye"
Main usse ek case ki police files mere paas chhodne ko keh raha tha, is baat par vo thoda jhijhka.
"Sir ...." Vo sochta hua bola.
"Koi problem hai toh main Mrs. Rana ko bolkar commissioner sahab ko phone kara deta hoon"
"Arrey nahi Sir, uski kya zaroorat hai. Main kal subah aakar de jaoonga" Commissioner ki baat par vo fauran bola.
"Aap kyun takleef karte hain, kisi ke haath bhijva dijiyega"
"Takleef ki koi baat nahi hai Sir. Is bahane aapse phir mulaqat bhi ho jaayegi"
"All right then, i will see you in the morning" Kehkar maine line disconnect kar di.
Maine aaj tak jitne bhi cases investigate kiye the, unmein kayi police wale mujhe aise bhi mile jinhone kaafi madad ki aur kayi aisi jinhone raaste mein sirf patthar hi adaye. Negi jis josh ke saath badh chadhkar meri madad karne par utawla tha, usse mujhe ehsaas hua ke usko apne saath lene ka mera faisla sahi tha.
Main sone hi laga tha ke cell ki ghanti phir baji. Maine phone utha kar dekha, ek message tha. Kamini ka.
"Kabhi nazar-e-inayat is taraf bhi kar liya kijiye"
Main message padhkar muskuraya aur jawab diya.
"Tu soyi nahi ab tak?"
Thodi der baad jawab aaya.
"Tum bhi toh nahi soye, kya kar rahe the?"
"Aise hi thoda kaam. Tu kya kar rahi thi?" Maine likh kar bheja.
"Tumhare baare mein soch rahi thi" Usne message aur uske saath ek kiss wala smiley bana kar bheja.
Vo mujhpar dil-o-jaan si fida thi, hamesha se thi. Shayad uski zindagi mein main akela hi mard tha jise usne is nazar se dekha tha. Uski deewangi ki had yahan tak thi ke usne mujhe ek baar ye tak keh diya tha ke agar koi mard uske kareeb aaya toh sirf main hi ho-unga. Agar main nahi toh saari zindagi vo kisi aur ko apna shareer chhune tak nahi degi.
Main janta tha ke mere bete ko ek maan ki talash hai. Vo hamesha apni Dadi ke saath nahi reh sakta. Meri maan boodhi ho chali thi aur der sawer unhein is duniya se chale jana tha, phir uske baad Vikram ka khyaal kaun rakhta. Kamini mere liye ek bahut achhi biwi aur Vikram ke liye ek achhi maan saabit ho sakti thi par jaane kyun hazar koshish ke baad bhi main use dekhne ka apna nazariya kabhi badal nahi saka.
Main bistar par leta, Kamini ko good night ka message kiya aur aankhen band karke sochne laga. Ye sab shuru hua tha us din jab hamare college mein ek nayi ladki aayi thi, Renuka Sinha.
Aate hi vo jaise college ke har ladke aur ladki ke liye ek topic ka charcha ban gayi. Saari ladkiyan usse jalti aur ladke uske aage pichhe chakkar lagate, ke kisi tarah vo ek nazar unhein dekh le. Iski vajah se uski had khoobsurati. Gora rang, medium height, patli si kamar, kaale lambe baal, badi badi aankhen aur is sab par vo jis tarah se apne aapko carry karti thi vo uske husn mein chaar chand laga deta tha. Vo chalti toh is tarah jaise sara zamana uske kadmon mein ho aur kisi se baat karti toh is tarah jaise uspar ehsaan kar rahi ho.
Students toh students, kuchh teachers bhi is taak mein rehte the ke shayad vo unse pat jaaye. Kya kunware, kya shaadi shuda, poora college jaise usi ke chakkar mein tha.
Aur vo chakkar mein padi toh mere. Ek aise insaan ke jo shayad poore college mein akela tha jise Renuka Sinha naam mein koi dilchaspi nahi thi.

Great going.
Last part abt Renuka adds romance buy ends on the spot :lol:
