Update 17
========================
Apna haath Bholu par se htakar woh pass rkhi taulia se phoch leti hai. Ratna haath saaf krke Bholu ko chai bnane ke liye bol deti hai aur. Bholu chai bnane chla jata. Wahi baithi Ratna muskura rahi hoti hai abse uski zindagi shandaar rhegi. Woh soch chuki thee usse paiso ke kad mein chotti aurtein jab zindagi ke mze utha rahi hai toh woh bhi thodde boht aish-o-aaram ki haqdaar thee. Puri zindagi mehnat mein aur Bholu ko paalne mein lga di ab thodda Bholu ka bhi farz bnta tha ki woh apni maa ki sewa karey. Yehi sab khyalo ke beech Ratna khoyi baithi aur usko achanak se ghar ke saare kaam yaad aane lgte hai.
Ratna : "Chal aaj dukaan kholni nahi hai toh koi ni ghar ke boht kaam reh rhe hai ab wahi kar lete hai. Shaam ko dusre bazaar chalio mere saath abhi toh aaram karley"
Itna bolte hee Ratna ka gate baj jaata hai. Bholu gate kholta hai toh Hamid Chacha aur beti Fatima dono aaye thay. Dono andar kamre mein hee aa jaate hai aur wahi Ratna ke pass baith jaate hai.
Ratna : "Aao chacha, Fatima bhn kaisi hai? Kaise aana hua aaj?"
Hamid : "Ratna bitia hm toh tumhari dukaan par ja rhe thay lekin wha toh aaj pura bazaar hee band hai"
Ratna Bholu ko chai bnane ke liye bol deti hai. Bholu chai bnane chla jata hai.
Ratna : "Btao chacha kaise aana hua?"
Fatima : "Mein btati hu, Ratna behen bolne mein bura lg rha hai lekin woh Nargis ki college fees.. fees ke liye kuuch karza chahiye tha."
Ratna : "Kitna?"
Fatima : "Bs 40 hazaar rupay, baaki mere pass hai aur mein aapko ye 1 saal mein lauta dungi."
Ratna ko Fatima ki haalat par taras aa jaata hai. Ratna janti thee ki Fatima itna karza kaise chuka payegi, puray saal usko bina rukay mazdoori krni padegi tab jaakar kahi woh itna paisa ikkath kar payegi. Ratna ko apni jawani ke din yaad aa jaate hai jab koi uska sahara nahi tha aur usko bhi kitni mehnat krke khuud hee sab kuuch krna padta tha.
Ratna : "Dekh, paise tu le ja, lekin ye karza nahi hai, tu bss rkhley jab teri Nargis ki naukri lgegi tab dena, 1-2 saal nahi uski padhai puri hone dey."
Hamid : "Waah bitia, tu dikhti hee kathor hai, tu hai boht acchi."
Ratna : "Chacha mein Fatima ki dikkat samajhti hu, tu apni beti ko padha, mera ladka toh itna padha nahi tu khuub padha aur mein dungi uska kharcha lekin 1 shart hai meri, koi bhi paisa tum nahi dogey woh ladki apne aap degi naukri lgne ke baad."
Hamid : "Arre bitia tunay toh aate hee hmare saare dukh khtm kr diye,", bechara Hamid khushi se bechain ho jaata hai.
Ratna : "Haan Chacha jaate waqt paisa le jana aur chinta mat lo, ye sochlo uski padhai ka zimma mera, lekin Fatima usko ye nahi btana usko yehi lgna chahiye ki tu mehnat krke laa rhi hai paisa, zyad laad pyar mein bacche bigad jaate hai usko mt btana."
Fatima : "Theek hai didi nahi btaungi."
Ratna ke iss badappan ke dono aabhari ho gye. Ratna ka jo kadd unke liye upar ho gya tha us tak Hamid ke parivar mein kisi ka pohoch paana namumkin tha. Ratna ne firse dikha dia ki uske mann mein kuuch bhi chalta rhe lekin uski sahi krne aur sochne samajhne ki shakti hmesha sahi hee karti thee. Bholu bhi chai lekar aa jaata hai aur wahi baith jaata hai.
Ratna : "Chacha pura gao kehta hai tum buddhe ho gye aur isiliye tumhey majdoori nahi krni chahiye kisi ko pta bhi hai ki saari majdoori tum apni bitia par hee kar rhe ho."
Hamid : "Arre bitia kisi ko pta nahi hai tohi bdia hai, sir dardi hai kisi ko pta chlna."
Ratna : "Bdia hai chacha, tum ghar mein mze kr rhe ho."
Hamid : "Kahan mze bitia, isko Fatima ko dekh kitni bhari ho gyi hai, ab isko upar bithana toh na baba na sir dardi ka kaam hai."
Fatima : "Accha abbu ab mein moti ho gyi, ghar par toh bdi tareef krte ho meri aur meri moti janghon ki, didi ke aagey palat gye. "
Hamid : "Arre bitia mein burai thoddi kar rha hu bss bta rha hu ye buddha baap ab zyada kuuch utha nahi paata."
Fatima : "Jawaan toh hmare Bholu Bhaiya hai, kyu didi Bholu bhaiya ka kheera khaya ki nahi?"
Hamid : "Bholu se hee puch lete hai."
Ratna : "Bholu tu jaldi ja aur chatt se saare kapdey utar kar la.", ye bolkar Ratna haskar baat taal deti hai aur Bholu ko wha se bhga deti hai.
Ratna : "Chacha uske aage kuuch na bolna,"
Hamid : "Chal bitia tu kehti hai toh nahi bolengey."
Ratna : "Fatima ye whatsapp par toh bde kasme waade bhejti hai tu, kabhi galti se iss sabki photo mt bhej dena."
Fatima : "Arre didi ek baar ye Nargis ne hee bhej di thee photo, mujhey toh photo leni bhi nahi aati hai apne phone sey, yehi ladki khurafaat krti rehti hai isne bhej dee thee badi muskil se bacchi andhera tha kuuch pta nahi chla vrna buri fass jaati."
Hamid : "ye Nargis bitia aaj kal ki ladkio mein se hai inke shauk hee alag hai, jab bhi hmara hathiyaar chusti hai toh ek photo zrur leti hai ptani kisko bhejti hai, allah jaane. Mein toh mna krta rehta hu ye phone samart phone mujhey bharosey ke nahi lgte, khuda na khasta kisi ne dekh lia toh hum gareebo ke sir aur aafat aa jayegi."
Fatima : "Arre abbu woh nahi manegi krne do usko jo krna hai, ptani kya hee karti rehti hai apne phone mein."
Fatima : "Chalo abbu ab ghar chalte hai aaj Nargis bhi aane waali ho rhi hogi, ghar band hai ladki akeli nahi rehni chahiye"
Hamid : "Haan Chalo chalo, accha Ratna bitia hm chalte hai tu khyal rkhna apna aur apne sher ka."
Fatima aur Hamid wha se nikal jaate hai. Bholu bhi kapdey lekar neechay aa jaata hai. Ratna aur Bholu firse kamre mein baithey hote hai tabhi,
Bholu : "Maa, Shanti Mausi aa rhi hai aaj raat ko, mein chatt par tha toh phone aaya tha unhone kha ki tujhey bta du"
Ratna : "Haan baat toh hui thee isse bhi, chal tu bazaar se mujhey samaan laakar dey ye toh Delhi se aayegi, aayegi toh ruk kar hee jayegi. Fir toh Golu bhi aayega."
Ratna aur Shanti sagi behne thee, Shanti Ratna se 2 saal chotti thee, Golu Shanti ka beta tha uska pura naam Gokul tha lekin log usko Golu hee kehte thay kyuki bachpan mein woh gol matol tha. Ab itna na tha, lekin dekh kar pta chalta tha ki uski sehat acchi khasi hai. Golu seher mein naukri krta tha wahi akela tha jo Ratna aur Shanti ke khandaan mein apne damm par mehnat krke naukri kr rha tha. Shanti aur Golu Delhi mein rehte thay, Golu ka baap tha Jagatnath, aadmi acha tha lekin kayi saal pehle ke karze se sharab ki lat mein chla gya tha. Golu ki padhai likhai ka kharcha Ratna ne hi pura kiya tha. Golu aur Shanti, Ratna ki izzat bhagwaan jitni karte thay aur badle mein Ratna ka pyar aur ek bharosa un par tha, Ratna aur Shanti dil se boht kareeb thee, Ratna ko Golu bhi accha lgta tha kyuki usne ek paisa bhi bekar na jaane dia aur Btech krke ek acchi private job pakad li thee.
Ratna Bholu ko paneer aur choley ka samaan laane ko bolti hai. Shanti ek saal se ghar nahi aayi thee kyuki Golu ka final year tha aur uske exam huye nahi thay. Ratna bde dil sey sabke liye khana bna rhi thee. Ghar ke kaam krte krte shaam ho aayi. Shanti ka phone aa gya aur Bholu usko lene bus-stand chla gya. Shanti aage aage aur Bholu Golu uske peechay peechay chal rhe thay, unn dono ne saara samaan pakda hua tha.
Golu lmbda chorra nahi tha, bechara aam sehat ka tha, thodda mota tha par ladka swabhaav se heera tha. Golu aur Bholu ki boht banti thee, Golu bde sabra aur izzat ke saath Bholu se bartaav karta aur Bholu bhi Golu ko apne sagey chotte bhai ki tarah hee pyar krta tha. Bholu bechara apne paiso mein se bhi kuuch na kuuch Golu ko dene ke liye hmesha aage rehta tha. Shanti ghar aa jaati hai. Shanti ghar aate hee Ratna ke galey lg jaati hai. Dono behne ki aakhein thoddi nam ho jaati hai.
Dono ka hee ek jaisa daur tha, dono hee pareshanio se guzar rhi thee ek ka pati mar chuka tha toh dusri ka sharabi tha, mrey se bhi badtaddar. Dono ke beech sab kuuch ek hee jaisa tha. Golu bhi apni mausi ke pair choota hai. Ratna sabhi ko kamre mein bitha deti hai aur Bholu sabko pani pila deta hai.
Golu : "Arre Mausi badi patli ho gyi ho, bda dhyan dia ja rha hai aaj kal sehat par?"
Ratna : "Chal tu chup reh kuuch bhi bolta hai, mein aur patli.. chal kaam kar apna"
Shanti : "Ye aisa hee hai, aate hee shuru ho gya apni mausi sey. Mera raja Balwaan kaisa hai, dekh Balwaan ki sehat dekh aur tu mota hota ja rha hai."
Golu uski baat par muuh bna deta hai aur Bholu ko ishare mein tareef kr deta hai.
Aise hee parivar hasi khushi baatein krta rehta hai aur sabhi raat ka khana kha lete hai. Aaj behen aayi thee toh Ratna aur Shanti ek kamre mein, aur dusre kamre mein Bholu aur Golu so rhe thay.
Ratna aur Shanti dono apne kapde badal kar bistar par baith jaati hai. Shanti bag kholkar ek packet nikalti hai aur Ratna ko de deti hai.
Ratna : "Ye kya hai behen?"
Shanti : "Didi gussa mt hona, ye woh woh aapne jo fees dee thee na Golu ki wahi hai, Golu ab accha kamane lga hai toh meine socha aapko de du."
Shanti ko darr tha Ratna gussa ho jayegi.
Ratna(haskar): "Mera seena aaj fakar se chaura ho gya, tera ladka laakhon mein ek hai btao kitni jaldi sara paisa vapis dene ko tiayaar ho gya, lekin mujhey ye nahi chahiye tera beta mera beta hai, tu rkh isko kaam aayengey aagey itni jaldi paise vapis dene ki jaldbaazi nahi krte."
Shanti : "Arre didi rkho na aapke hee hai ye toh."
Ratna : "Gussa mt dila mujhey, ye rkhley jitna keh rhi hu utna kar, apni chotti behen se bhi koi paise leta hai kya?"
Shanti chup chaap packet rkh leti hai.
Ratna : "Dil ko bda accha lga ki mera bhanja paise vapis krne ka dum rkhta hai, boht bdia. Ab tu jaldi se iski shadi krdey, ladka bigad na jaaye"
Shanti : "Woh didi yehi aapse baat krni thee, didi mujhey thodda ajeeb lg rha hai btane mein lekin ye Golu ke papa gao chle gye hai aur jabsey jabsey.. ye mein Golu mtlb woh ki mein aur woh.."
Ratna : "Ye kya mimia rhi hai saaf saaf bol.."
Shanti : "Didi woh mein, ye Golu aur mein woh kabhi kabhi ek saath kar lete hai.."
Ratna : "Kar lete hai kya kar lete hai? Behen kuuch bol ya dimaag jaam ho gya hai tera thand mein?"
Shanti : "Mein kabhi kabhi Golu ke neechay aati hu."
Shanti ko yakeen tha ki itna sunkar Ratna usko thappad toh maar hee degi, woh badhi hui dil ki dhadkan ke saath Ratna ko dekh rhi thee. Ratna ekdm shant thee,
Ratna(uske sir par haath ferkar): "Koi ni ghar parivar mein chlta hai jab mard kisi kaam ka na ho toh beto ko aage aana padta hai."
Shanti ne ye bilkul nahi sochta tha aisa kuuch hoga. Uske hisaab se ab tak kalesh ho jana chahiye tha aur Ratna ko uske samaan ko bahar fek dena chahiye tha. Shanti bhavuk hokar apni behen ki godi mein sir rkh deti hai.
Shanti : "Mujhey lga tha didi tum daatogi, tum har baar aisa kuuch kar deti ho ki mein ro padti hu, mujhey lga sab galat hee kahengey par meri behen mere saath hai na toh mujhey koi dikkat nahi."
Ratna : "Chal ab subakna band kar aur bta kaise shuru hua ye sab?"
