tab Maskman vaapas Dymock ki laash ke karib pahunchaa aur usne laash ko idhar-udhar palatakar dekhaa ।
“yah kyaa !” turant uski aankhen dahashat ke kaaran phati-ki-phati rah gayin- “bam !”
Maskman ne jhapatakar RDX bam uthaa liyaa ।
usne time dekhaa ।
bam bas phatne vaalaa thaa ।
Maskman ne bepnaah phurti ke saath detonater pencil, RDX ke andar se nikaal deni chaahi ।
magar !
usi kshan bhishan dhamaake ke saath bam phat pedaa ।
Maskman ke munh se vibhats chikh nikal gayi । vah dahaadtaa huaa kisi halke khillaune ki tarah havaa main uchhlaa aur dur jhaadiyon main jaakar giraa ।
uskaa ek haath puraa-kaa-puraa ud gayaa ।
jism khun main lathapath ho gayaa ।
Maskman ne vahin jhaadiyon main pede-pede apni jeb se ek bahut chhotaa portable taperecorder jaisaa yantr nikaalaa ।
phir us portable taperecorder ko kholaa aur kuchh button dabaakar headquater se uskaa sampark sthaapit kiyaa ।
uske baad vo jaldi-jaldi us taperecorder par kuchh type karne lagaa ।
“Jack Kramer saahab, jaldi kuchh kijiye । support group ke tamaam chhah yoddhaa maare jaa chuke hain । meri bhi sirf kuchh hi saanse bachi hain aur unhi ukhadti saanson ke bich main aapko apnaa yah aakhir sandesh bhej rahaa hun । commander Karan Saxena kaa abhi tak ham kuchh nahin bigaad sake hain । vah n sirf jindaa hai balki pure jungle main kisi sher ki tarah ghum rahaa hai । jungle use n sirf chhipne ke liye jagah muhaiyaa karaa rahaa hai, balki yahaan use kaisi bhi koi mushkil pesh nahin aa rahi hai । agar jald hi commander Karan Saxena kaa kuchh entjaam n kiyaa gayaa, to vah din dur nahin hai, jab commander Karan Saxena baaki bache hua chhah yoddhaaon ko bhi khatm kar daalegaa ।”
aapkaa Maskman !
us samay Maskman us taperecorder jaise yantr par jo kuchh type kar rahaa thaa, vah fauran dusri taraf fax machine ke jariye headquater main nikal rahaa thaa ।
headquater main vo sandesh bhejte hi Maskman bhi vahin jhaadiyon main dher ho gayaa ।
vo mar gayaa ।
tabhi commander vaapas daudtaa huaa vahaan aa pahunchaa aur usne Maskman ki heartbeat check ki । uski nabj tatoli । yah dekhakar use raahat mili ki ab usmain jivan kaa koi chinh shish nahin thaa ।
phir commander ne taperecorder par type kiye gaye us antim sandesh ko pedhaa, jise Maskman ne headquater main bhejaa thaa ।
sandesh pedhakar uske honthon par muskaan tair gayi ।
uske baad commander ne Maskman ki rifel todi । Dymock ke dil main apnaa spring blade pevast kiyaa aur phir jungle main aage bada ।
☐☐☐
din nikal aayaa ।
sury ki prkaash-rashmiyaan jungle main punah chaaron taraf fail gayi । chalte-chalte commander Karan Saxena ab kaafi thakaan mahsus karne lagaa thaa ।
raat vo ek pal ke liye bhi nahin soyaa thaa ।
vo jaantaa thaa, chhah yoddhaa maare jaa chuke hain ।
lekin !
abhi chhah yoddhaa jivit hain ।
aur vo bache hua chhah yoddhaa pahle chhah yoddhaaon se kahin jyaadaa khatarnaak the । unse mukaablaa karnaa koi aasaan kaam n thaa ।
commander ne eraavti nadi ke kinaare pahunchakar snaan kiyaa, jisse uske sharir main taajgi ki lahar daudi ।
uske baad usne milk powder kaa bhi sevan kiyaa ।
pichhle kuchh dinon se chunki uskaa koi bhi kaam niyamit rup se nahin ho rahaa thaa, isaliye vo apne sharir main kuchh kamjori mahsus karne lagaa thaa aur thakaan bhi use kaafi jaldi ho jaati thi ।
tabhi commander ki nigaah ek gufa par pedi ।
vah badi ajibogrib-si gufa thi aur us gufa ko dekhakar aisaa lagtaa thaa, jaise kuchh mahine pahle hi kisi ne us gufa kaa nirmaan kiyaa hai ।
gufa bahut saaf-suthree bani hui najar aa rahi thi aur aisaa bilkul nahin lagtaa thaa, jaise us gufa main koi jungli jaanavar rahtaa hai ।
commander gufa ke andar daakhill huaa ।
usmain sachamuch koi jaanavar nahin thaa । itnaa hi nahin, gufa bhi andar se kaafi andheri thi aur lambi thi ।
commander Karan Saxena gufa main aage baadtaa chalaa gayaa ।
gufa ke bilkul antim chhor par jaakar uske netr aur phate ।
vahaan kuchh sankri-si sidhiyaan bani hui thi, jo niche kahin chali gayi thi ।
commander un sidhiyon par utartaa chalaa gayaa ।
thodi hi der baad vo ek kaafi lambi surang main khadaa thaa ।
us surang ko dekhakar commander Karan Saxena ki hairaani aur baadi । surang main jagah-jagah kuchh kamre bhi bane hua the ।
commander ne revolver nikaalakar saavdhaanipurvak apne haath main le li ।
uske baad vo tej-tej kadmon se ek kamre ki taraf bada ।
kamre kaa baahar se taalaa khol daalaa ।
taalaa kholakar vah kamre ke andar ghusaa ।
us pure kamre main lakadi ki badi-badi petiyaan rakhi hui thi । commander ne ek peti kaa phattaa hataakar dekhaa, to usmain heroine bhari thi ।
dusri peti kaa phattaa hataakar dekhaa, usmain smack thi ।
kul milaakar vah nashille padarthon kaa godaam thaa ।
commander ne ab apne Haversack bag main se ek time-bam nikaalaa aur lakadi ki un petiyon ke bich main fit kar diyaa ।
phir vo use kamre se nikaalakar badi teji ke saath surang main aage ki taraf bhaagaa ।
kaafi aage ek kamraa aur banaa huaa thaa ।
commander bethaashaa daudtaa huaa jaise hi us dusre kamre tak pahunchaa, tabhi pichhle kamre main bahut dhamaakaa khej aavaaj ke saath time-bam phataa ।
bam bahut shaktishaali thaa । uske phatne se n sirf us pure kamre ki dhajjiyaan bikhar gayin balki un sidhiyon ke bhi parakhachche ud gaye, jo upar se niche tak aane kaa raastaa thaa । surang kaa vah hissaa lagabhag puri tarah dhvast ho gayaa ।
commander ne parvaah n ki ।
usne taambe ke taar se hi dusre kamre kaa taalaa kholaa aur phir uske andar daakhill huaa ।
vahaan bhi dheron petiyaan thi ।
nashille pedarthon kaa badaa stock thaa ।
sachamuch un yoddhaaon ne narcotics kaa achchhaa khaasaa saamraajy vahaan jungle main failaa rakhaa thaa ।
commander ne us kamre ke andar bhi ek time bam rakhaa aur vahaan se bhi bhaagaa । uske baad vo surang main bhaagtaa rahaa aur jagah-jagah time bam rakhtaa rahaa ।
surang main bhishan dhamaake gunjte rahe ।
surang tabaah hoti rahi ।
bhaagte-bhaagte commander ekaaak thithkaa ।
use surang main saamne ki taraf se ab kuchh aadamiyon ke daudne ki aavaaj sunaayi de rahi thi, jo badi teji se daudte hua usi taraf aa rahe the ।
commander revolver haath main lekar vahin surang ke ek kone main chhip gayaa aur daudte hua kadmon ki aavaaj dhyaan se sunne lagaa ।
vah kayi aadamiyon ke daudne ki aavaaj thi, jo dhamaake sunakar usi taraf bhaage chale jaa rahe the ।
commander ne apni revolver kaa chaimbar kholakar dekhaa ।
usmain sirf tin goliyaan thi ।
commander ne chaimbar vaapas band kar diyaa ।
bhaagte hua kadmon ki aavaaj ab kaafi najdik aa chuki thi । jaise hi vah donon mod ke karib pahunche, commander fauran chite ki tarah jump lekar un donon ke saamne khadaa ho gayaa ।
un donon ke haath main bhi rifelen thi, magar us vakt donon rifelen ke munh chhat ki taraf the ।
“k... kaun ho tum ?” commander ko dekhte hi vo hadabadaaye ।
“filhal tum mujhe apni maut samjho ।”
revolver fauran commander ki ungli ke gird phirakni ki tarah ghumi aur trigger dabaa ।
unmain se ek guard to tabhi chikhtaa huaa vahin dher ho gayaa ।
jabaki dusre guard ne fauran apni rifel ki naal commander ki taraf taanni chaahi, parantu usse pahle hi ek flying kick uske chehre par pedi ।
guard ke haath se rifel chhut gayi ।
vo dahaadtaa huaa pichhe surang ki divaar se jaakar takraayaa ।
commander Karan Saxena ne jhapatakar uskaa girehbaan pakad liyaa aur revolver ki naal uske gale ki ghanti par rakh di ।
guard ne jor se thuk satki ।
khauf ke maare uske jism kaa ek-ek roaan khadaa ho gayaa ।
“k... kyaa chaahte ho tum ?”
“sirf mere ek savaal kaa javaab do ?”
“puchho ।”
“yah surang kahaan jaakar khatm hoti hai ?”
guard ne fauran sakhti se apne honth bhinch liye ।
turant commander kaa ek prachand prhaar uske pet main pedaa । guard ke munh se is tarah havaa nikli, jaise kisi gubbaare main se nikli ho ।
tabhi commander Karan Saxena ne revolver ki barrel ko jor se khinchakar uski kanapti par maaraa ।
guard ke munh se tej siskaari chhuti । uski kanapti se khun bahne lagaa ।
“jaldi bataao ।” revolver commander ki ungaliyon ke gird phirakni ki tarah ghumi aur dobaaraa uske gale ki ghanti par jaa tiki- “yah surang kis jagah pahunchakar khatm hoti hai ?”
“h... headquater !”
“kyaa headquater ?”
“y... yah hamaare headquater pahunchakar khatm hoti hai ।”
commander ne revolver kaa trigger dabaa diyaa ।
guard ki khopedi is tarah phati, jaise uske andar rakhaa koi bam phataa ho ।
uski khopedi main se dher saaraa khun nikalakar divaar par fail gayaa ।
phir commander ne un guardon ki rifelen bekaar kin । unki goliyaan apne Haversack bag main bharin aur uske baad vah maut kaa kaal dut banaa surang main aage ki taraf bada ।
pahle ki tarah hi commander uske pichhe time-bam fit kartaa jaa rahaa thaa ।
surang ki dhajjiyaan udaataa jaa rahaa thaa ।
Burma ke khaufnaak jungle lo main un baarah yoddhaaon ne koi etni badi surang bhi banaayi hui hai, is baat ki jaankaari commander ko pahle se nahin thi ।
alabattaa us surang ko dekhakar vo prbhaavit jarur huaa ।
vaakaayi yah usi surang kaa kamaal thaa, jo yah yoddhaa us pure jungle ko apni mutthi main kaid kia hua the ।
jo vahaan unkaa ekmaatr raaj chal rahaa thaa ।
‘support group’ ke sabhi chhah yauddhaaon ke maare jaane ki khabar jaise hi headquater pahunchi, vahaan hadakamp mach gayaa ।
Jack Kramer , Havaam, Master, Abu Nidaal, Mike aur Rony- turant un baaki bache hua chhah yoddhaaon ki ek emergency meeting hui ।
“yah Maskman kaa vo aakhiri sandesh hai ।” Jack Kramer ek kaagaj ko un yoddhaaon ke saamne lahraate hua kahaa rahaa thaa- “jise usne marne se pahle fax machine par hamaare lia bhejaa hai । hamaare ‘support group’ ke sabhi chhah yauddhaa maare jaa chuke hain, ab sirf ham bache hain aur isse bhi bade afsos ki baat yah hai ki hamaari jyaadaatar faujon ko bhi commander Karan Saxena ne thikaane lagaa diyaa hai ।”
“vaakaayi us ek aadmi kaa aatank har pal baadtaa jaa rahaa hai ।” Abu Nidaal bolaa- “usne jahaan jungle main etni tabaahi barpaa karke rakh di hai, vahin ham abhi tak uskaa kuchh nahin bigaad sake ।”
“sabse bade aashchary ki baat to ye hai sir !” Master bolaa- “ki Burma ke en khaufnaak jungle lo main aane ke do din ke andar hi jahaan kisi aadmi ke hosh thikaane lag jaate hain, vahin commander Karan Saxena ko abhi tak kuchh nahin huaa hai । jungle use puri tarah raas aa chukaa hai ।”
tab Maskman vaapas Dymock ki laash ke karib pahunchaa aur usne laash ko idhar-udhar palatakar dekhaa ।
“yah kyaa !” turant uski aankhen dahashat ke kaaran phati-ki-phati rah gayin- “bam !”
Maskman ne jhapatakar RDX bam uthaa liyaa ।
usne time dekhaa ।
bam bas phatne vaalaa thaa ।
Maskman ne bepnaah phurti ke saath detonater pencil, RDX ke andar se nikaal deni chaahi ।

usi kshan bhishan dhamaake ke saath bam phat pedaa ।
Maskman ke munh se vibhats chikh nikal gayi । vah dahaadtaa huaa kisi halke khillaune ki tarah havaa main uchhlaa aur dur jhaadiyon main jaakar giraa ।
uskaa ek haath puraa-kaa-puraa ud gayaa ।
jism khun main lathapath ho gayaa ।
Maskman ne vahin jhaadiyon main pede-pede apni jeb se ek bahut chhotaa portable taperecorder jaisaa yantr nikaalaa ।
phir us portable taperecorder ko kholaa aur kuchh button dabaakar headquater se uskaa sampark sthaapit kiyaa ।
uske baad vo jaldi-jaldi us taperecorder par kuchh type karne lagaa ।
“Jack Kramer saahab, jaldi kuchh kijiye । support group ke tamaam chhah yoddhaa maare jaa chuke hain । meri bhi sirf kuchh hi saanse bachi hain aur unhi ukhadti saanson ke bich main aapko apnaa yah aakhir sandesh bhej rahaa hun । commander Karan Saxena kaa abhi tak ham kuchh nahin bigaad sake hain । vah n sirf jindaa hai balki pure jungle main kisi sher ki tarah ghum rahaa hai । jungle use n sirf chhipne ke liye jagah muhaiyaa karaa rahaa hai, balki yahaan use kaisi bhi koi mushkil pesh nahin aa rahi hai । agar jald hi commander Karan Saxena kaa kuchh entjaam n kiyaa gayaa, to vah din dur nahin hai, jab commander Karan Saxena baaki bache hua chhah yoddhaaon ko bhi khatm kar daalegaa ।”
aapkaa Maskman !
us samay Maskman us taperecorder jaise yantr par jo kuchh type kar rahaa thaa, vah fauran dusri taraf fax machine ke jariye headquater main nikal rahaa thaa ।
headquater main vo sandesh bhejte hi Maskman bhi vahin jhaadiyon main dher ho gayaa ।
vo mar gayaa ।
tabhi commander vaapas daudtaa huaa vahaan aa pahunchaa aur usne Maskman ki heartbeat check ki । uski nabj tatoli । yah dekhakar use raahat mili ki ab usmain jivan kaa koi chinh shish nahin thaa ।
phir commander ne taperecorder par type kiye gaye us antim sandesh ko pedhaa, jise Maskman ne headquater main bhejaa thaa ।
sandesh pedhakar uske honthon par muskaan tair gayi ।
uske baad commander ne Maskman ki rifel todi । Dymock ke dil main apnaa spring blade pevast kiyaa aur phir jungle main aage bada ।

“sirf mere ek savaal kaa javaab do ?”

“yah surang kahaan jaakar khatm hoti hai ?”
guard ne fauran sakhti se apne honth bhinch liye ।
turant commander kaa ek prachand prhaar uske pet main pedaa । guard ke munh se is tarah havaa nikli, jaise kisi gubbaare main se nikli ho ।
tabhi commander Karan Saxena ne revolver ki barrel ko jor se khinchakar uski kanapti par maaraa ।
guard ke munh se tej siskaari chhuti । uski kanapti se khun bahne lagaa ।
“jaldi bataao ।” revolver commander ki ungaliyon ke gird phirakni ki tarah ghumi aur dobaaraa uske gale ki ghanti par jaa tiki- “yah surang kis jagah pahunchakar khatm hoti hai ?”
“h... headquater !”
“kyaa headquater ?”
“y... yah hamaare headquater pahunchakar khatm hoti hai ।”
commander ne revolver kaa trigger dabaa diyaa ।
guard ki khopedi is tarah phati, jaise uske andar rakhaa koi bam phataa ho ।
uski khopedi main se dher saaraa khun nikalakar divaar par fail gayaa ।
phir commander ne un guardon ki rifelen bekaar kin । unki goliyaan apne Haversack bag main bharin aur uske baad vah maut kaa kaal dut banaa surang main aage ki taraf bada ।
pahle ki tarah hi commander uske pichhe time-bam fit kartaa jaa rahaa thaa ।
surang ki dhajjiyaan udaataa jaa rahaa thaa ।
Burma ke khaufnaak jungle lo main un baarah yoddhaaon ne koi etni badi surang bhi banaayi hui hai, is baat ki jaankaari commander ko pahle se nahin thi ।
alabattaa us surang ko dekhakar vo prbhaavit jarur huaa ।
vaakaayi yah usi surang kaa kamaal thaa, jo yah yoddhaa us pure jungle ko apni mutthi main kaid kia hua the ।
jo vahaan unkaa ekmaatr raaj chal rahaa thaa ।
‘support group’ ke sabhi chhah yauddhaaon ke maare jaane ki khabar jaise hi headquater pahunchi, vahaan hadakamp mach gayaa ।
Jack Kramer , Havaam, Master, Abu Nidaal, Mike aur Rony- turant un baaki bache hua chhah yoddhaaon ki ek emergency meeting hui ।
“yah Maskman kaa vo aakhiri sandesh hai ।” Jack Kramer ek kaagaj ko un yoddhaaon ke saamne lahraate hua kahaa rahaa thaa- “jise usne marne se pahle fax machine par hamaare lia bhejaa hai । hamaare ‘support group’ ke sabhi chhah yauddhaa maare jaa chuke hain, ab sirf ham bache hain aur isse bhi bade afsos ki baat yah hai ki hamaari jyaadaatar faujon ko bhi commander Karan Saxena ne thikaane lagaa diyaa hai ।”
“vaakaayi us ek aadmi kaa aatank har pal baadtaa jaa rahaa hai ।” Abu Nidaal bolaa- “usne jahaan jungle main etni tabaahi barpaa karke rakh di hai, vahin ham abhi tak uskaa kuchh nahin bigaad sake ।”
“sabse bade aashchary ki baat to ye hai sir !” Master bolaa- “ki Burma ke en khaufnaak jungle lo main aane ke do din ke andar hi jahaan kisi aadmi ke hosh thikaane lag jaate hain, vahin commander Karan Saxena ko abhi tak kuchh nahin huaa hai । jungle use puri tarah raas aa chukaa hai ।”

UPDATE-44
“sabse bade aashchary ki baat to ye hai sir !” Master bolaa- “ki Burma ke en khaufnaak jungle lo main aane ke do din ke andar hi jahaan kisi aadmi ke hosh thikaane lag jaate hain, vahin commander Karan Saxena ko abhi tak kuchh nahin huaa hai । jungle use puri tarah raas aa chukaa hai ।”
“filhal hamain yah sochnaa chaahiye ।” Mike ne kahaa- “ki commander Karan Saxena ko maar daalne ke lia ab hamaaraa aglaa kadam kyaa ho ?”
“yhi to samajh nahin aa rahaa ।” Jack Kramer bolaa ।
“sachamuch badaa mushkil savaal hai ।” Havaam ne bhi kabul kiyaa- “kyonki commander Karan Saxena ko maarne ke lia jitne bhi pryaas ho sakte the, vo ham pahle hi karke dekh chuke hain ।”
kayi ghante tak un yoddhaaon ke bich vo meeting chalti rahi ।
vo soch vichaar karte rahe ।
magar phir bhi commander ko maar daalne ke kisi aakhiri faisle par nahin pahunch sake ।
tabhi unhen baahar headquater main tej shor-sharaabe ki aavaaj sunaayi di ।
vah aisi aavaaj thi, jaise bhagadad mach rahi ho ।
jaise log chilllaa rahe hon ।
“yah kaisi aavaaj hain ?” yoddhaa chaunkaa ।
“lagtaa hai, headquater main kuchh gadabad ho gayi hai ।”?
“main jaakar dekhtaa hun ।” Rony jhatke ke saath kursi chhodakar khadaa huaa ।
usi kshan bhadaak ki tej aavaaj ke saath kamre kaa darvaajaa khulaa aur do guard danadnaate hua andar ghuse chale aaye ।
un donon ke chehre pile jard the ।
puraa sharir pasinon main lathapath ।
“kyaa huaa ?” Jack Kramer ne aashcharypurvak puchhaa ।
“bahut bhayaanak gadabad ho gayi hai sir ! commander Karan Saxena ne hamaari saari surang tabaah kar daali hai ।”
“kyaa kah rahe ho ?”
tamaam yauddhaa jhatke ke saath is tarah apni-apni kursiyaan chhodakar khade hua, jaise vah jalte hua garam tave main parivartit ho gayi hon ।
“itnaa hi nahin sir !” dusre guard ne aur bhi jyaadaa bhishan visphot kiyaa- “commander Karan Saxena surang ke raaste se hi ab hamaare headquater main bhi ghus aayaa hai । lekin hamain filhal yah maalum nahin hai ki vo yahaan kis jagah maujud hai ।”
“commander Karan Saxena headquater main hai ?”
“yes sir !”
tamaam yauddhaaon ke bich dahashat fail gayi ।
Jack Kramer shighrtaapurvak mej ke pichhe se nikalakar baahar aa gayaa ।
“agar commander Karan Saxena is samay headquater main hai, to yah hamaare lia ek goldan chance hai ।” vah jaldi se bolaa- “ham usen yahin khatm kar sakte hain । use jaldi dhundho-jaldi ।”
“sachamuch vo yahaan se bachakar nahin nikalnaa chaahiye ।” Abu Nidaal bhi chilllaayaa- “agar vo yahaan se bachakar bhaag gayaa, to yah hamaari ek badi haar hogi ।
tamaam yauddhaa kamre se nikalakar teji se baahar ki taraf daude ।
headquater main hadakamp machaa huaa thaa ।
har koi commander ko khoj rahaa thaa ।
☐☐☐
aur vah commander Karan Saxena, jiske naam ne pure headquater main bhukamp machaa diyaa thaa, jiski vajah se tamaam yoddhaaon aur guardo kaa sukh chain tak ujad chukaa thaa ।
vo badi hi khaamoshi ke saath chori-chhipe vahaan pahunchaa thaa । usne apnaa Haversack bag kholakar dekhaa, usmain se bamon ko jakhiraa lagabhag puri tarah samaapt ho chukaa thaa ।
commander ne vahin bane emmunation room main se kuchh hand grenad bam, kuchh time bam aur kuchh daynamite ki chhade uthaakar apne Haversack bag main bhar lin ।
ab vo dobaaraa hamle ke lia taiyaar thaa ।
phir usne badi hi khaamoshi ke saath emmunation room kaa darvaajaa kholaa aur usmain se thodi jhiri paidaa karke baahar galiyaare main jhaankaa ।
vahaan us vakt khaamoshi thi ।
sannaataa ।
commander apni Colt revolver haath main kasakar pakade baahar galiyaare main aa gayaa ।
latest machinegun uske kandhe par tangi hui thi ।
Haversack bag pith par thaa ।
vah puri tarah ek khunkhaar yauddhaa najar aa rahaa thaa ।
commander us vakt headquater ke pahle maale par thaa । us headquater ke do hi floor bane hua the ।
ground floor !
first floor !
commander Karan Saxena ralling ke najdik pahunchaa, vahaan chaaron taraf hadakamp machaa thaa aur tamaam hathiyaar band guard usi ko khojte hua idhar-se-udhar bhaage-bhaage phir rahe the । abhi tak unmain se kisi ko yah khyaal bhi nahin aayaa thaa ki commander Karan Saxena headquater ke pahle maale par bhi ho saktaa hai ।
kisi ko uski vahaan upasthiti kaa aabhaas miltaa, usse pahle hi commander ne kuchh kar gujarnaa thaa ।
vah galiyaare main dur-dur tak bam failaa chukaa thaa ।
tabhi usne jor-jor se kuchh kadmon ki aavaaj suni ।
kuchh guard sidhiyon par daudte hua upar aa rahe the ।
commander ne Colt revolver vaapas apne overcoat ki jeb main rakh li aur latest machinegun kandhe se utarakar uske haath main aa gayi ।
vo vahin sidhiyon ke paas chhipakar baith gayaa ।
un guardon ki sankhyaa koi saat-aath thi, jo upar bhaage chale aa rahe the ।
sabke haath main rifelen thi ।
jaise hi vah sab upar aaye, commander Karan Saxena ekadam jump lekar un sabke saamne jaa khadaa huaa ।
latest machinegun un sabki taraf tan gayi ।
“c... commander Karan Saxena !” kaeyon ke munh se ek saath tivr siskaari chhuti ।
dahashat se un sabke sharir kampakampaaye ।
“khabardaar !” commander garjaa- “khabardaar, apni-apni rifelen niche phaink do-varnaa abhi tum sabki khopedi main jharokhe ban jaayenge ।
sabne ek-dusre ki taraf dekhaa ।
phir rifelen unke haath se phisalakar niche jaa girin ।
usi kshan commander ne apni latest machinegun kaa munh khol diyaa aur blast fire kar daale ।
ret-ret-ret !
guardon ki laashen bichhti chali gayin ।
tabhi jor-jor se time-bam bhi phatne lage ।
“commander upar hai ।” usi kshan commander ke kaanon main kisi yoddhaa ki aavaaj pedi- “upar, jaldi se ab upar ki taraf daudo ।”
commander ne ab apne bag main se daynamite ki kuchh chhaden nikaali aur unke falite main aag lagaakar chhadon ko sidhiyon ki taraf uchhaal diyaa ।
uske baad vo khud sirapat bhaagtaa huaa vahin bane ek toilet main jaa chhipaa ।
tabhi use daynamite phatne ki prachand aavaaj sunaai di ।
usi ke saath kuchh guardon ki vibhats chikhen bhi gunjin ।
commander Karan Saxena toilet se baahar nikal aayaa aur usne sidhiyon ki taraf dekhaa ।
upar aane vaali sidhiyaan puri tarah tabaah ho chuki thi ।
iske alaavaa sidhiyon ke malbe main dher saari laashen bhi najar aa rahi thi ।
kuchh aisi hi sthiti headquater ke pahle maale ki thi ।
uskaa aadhe se jyaadaa bhaag bam phatne ki vajah se khandahar ban chukaa thaa ।
kuchh guard daudte hua niche sidhiyon ke saamne aaye ।
commander ne fauran ek hand grenad bam nikaalaa aur daanton se uski pin khinchakar guardon ki taraf uchhaalaa ।
guard chikhte hua idhar-udhar bhaage ।
phir bhi kuchh us bam ki chapet main aa hi gaye ।
uske baad commander un sidhiyon ke saamne rukaa nahin । vo pahle maale ke galiyaare main hi us taraf daudaa, jo galiyaaraa abhi surakshit thaa ।
vo bhaagtaa rahaa ।
bethaashaa bhaagtaa rahaa ।
latest machinegun uske haath main thi ।
sabhi chhah yoddhaa radio-room main jamaa the, unke bich khalabli machi hui thi ।
“commander Karan Saxena hamaare kabu main nahin aa rahaa hai ।” Rony behad baichenipurvak bolaa- “vah hamaaraa aadhe se jyaadaa headquater tabaah kar chukaa hai ।”
“vaakaayi !” Havaam bhi bolaa- “commander ki tabaahi ko rokne ke liye hamain jaldi kuchh karnaa hogaa ।”
“lekin ham karen kyaa ?”
Jack Kramer jaise yoddhaa ki aavaaj main hi jabadarast ulajhan kaa put thaa ।
“yhi to samajh nahin aa rahaa । vah saakshaat maut kaa farishta ban chukaa hai ।”
sab bahut bcain the ।
baahar se bam phatne ki aavaajen nirantar unke kaanon main ped rahi thi ।
Jack Kramer unmain sabse jyaadaa parishaan thaa ।
“lagtaa hai, pure Burma par kabjaa karne kaa hamne jo sapnaa dekhaa thaa, vo is ek aadmi ki vajah se hi dhul main milakar rahegaa ।”
“nhin ।” Abu Nidaal gurraa uthaa- “ham etni aasaani se apne sapne ko dhul main nahin milne denge sir !”
“lekin ham kar kyaa sakte hain ।” Jack Kramer jhunjhlaakar bolaa- “vo hamaare headquater main ghusaa huaa hai aur tab bhi ham uskaa kuchh bigaadne main naakaam hain ।”
“main to kahtaa hun sir !” Mike bolaa- “hmain filhal baaton main vakt barbaad karne ki bajaay baahar jaakar commander Karan Saxena kaa mukaablaa karnaa chaahiye ।”
sab yoddhaa phir apne-apne hathiyaar lekar buland hauslon ke saath radio-room se baahar nikle ।
☐☐☐
“sabse bade aashchary ki baat to ye hai sir !” Master bolaa- “ki Burma ke en khaufnaak jungle lo main aane ke do din ke andar hi jahaan kisi aadmi ke hosh thikaane lag jaate hain, vahin commander Karan Saxena ko abhi tak kuchh nahin huaa hai । jungle use puri tarah raas aa chukaa hai ।”
“filhal hamain yah sochnaa chaahiye ।” Mike ne kahaa- “ki commander Karan Saxena ko maar daalne ke lia ab hamaaraa aglaa kadam kyaa ho ?”
“yhi to samajh nahin aa rahaa ।” Jack Kramer bolaa ।
“sachamuch badaa mushkil savaal hai ।” Havaam ne bhi kabul kiyaa- “kyonki commander Karan Saxena ko maarne ke lia jitne bhi pryaas ho sakte the, vo ham pahle hi karke dekh chuke hain ।”
kayi ghante tak un yoddhaaon ke bich vo meeting chalti rahi ।
vo soch vichaar karte rahe ।
magar phir bhi commander ko maar daalne ke kisi aakhiri faisle par nahin pahunch sake ।
tabhi unhen baahar headquater main tej shor-sharaabe ki aavaaj sunaayi di ।
vah aisi aavaaj thi, jaise bhagadad mach rahi ho ।
jaise log chilllaa rahe hon ।
“yah kaisi aavaaj hain ?” yoddhaa chaunkaa ।
“lagtaa hai, headquater main kuchh gadabad ho gayi hai ।”?
“main jaakar dekhtaa hun ।” Rony jhatke ke saath kursi chhodakar khadaa huaa ।
usi kshan bhadaak ki tej aavaaj ke saath kamre kaa darvaajaa khulaa aur do guard danadnaate hua andar ghuse chale aaye ।
un donon ke chehre pile jard the ।
puraa sharir pasinon main lathapath ।
“kyaa huaa ?” Jack Kramer ne aashcharypurvak puchhaa ।
“bahut bhayaanak gadabad ho gayi hai sir ! commander Karan Saxena ne hamaari saari surang tabaah kar daali hai ।”
“kyaa kah rahe ho ?”
tamaam yauddhaa jhatke ke saath is tarah apni-apni kursiyaan chhodakar khade hua, jaise vah jalte hua garam tave main parivartit ho gayi hon ।
“itnaa hi nahin sir !” dusre guard ne aur bhi jyaadaa bhishan visphot kiyaa- “commander Karan Saxena surang ke raaste se hi ab hamaare headquater main bhi ghus aayaa hai । lekin hamain filhal yah maalum nahin hai ki vo yahaan kis jagah maujud hai ।”
“commander Karan Saxena headquater main hai ?”
“yes sir !”
tamaam yauddhaaon ke bich dahashat fail gayi ।
Jack Kramer shighrtaapurvak mej ke pichhe se nikalakar baahar aa gayaa ।
“agar commander Karan Saxena is samay headquater main hai, to yah hamaare lia ek goldan chance hai ।” vah jaldi se bolaa- “ham usen yahin khatm kar sakte hain । use jaldi dhundho-jaldi ।”
“sachamuch vo yahaan se bachakar nahin nikalnaa chaahiye ।” Abu Nidaal bhi chilllaayaa- “agar vo yahaan se bachakar bhaag gayaa, to yah hamaari ek badi haar hogi ।
tamaam yauddhaa kamre se nikalakar teji se baahar ki taraf daude ।
headquater main hadakamp machaa huaa thaa ।
har koi commander ko khoj rahaa thaa ।

aur vah commander Karan Saxena, jiske naam ne pure headquater main bhukamp machaa diyaa thaa, jiski vajah se tamaam yoddhaaon aur guardo kaa sukh chain tak ujad chukaa thaa ।
vo badi hi khaamoshi ke saath chori-chhipe vahaan pahunchaa thaa । usne apnaa Haversack bag kholakar dekhaa, usmain se bamon ko jakhiraa lagabhag puri tarah samaapt ho chukaa thaa ।

commander abhi bhi pahle maale ke usi galiyaare main daudaa jaa rahaa thaa, jo filhal kuchh surakshit thaa ।
magar jald hi vo surakshit rahne vaalaa nahin thaa ।
commander Karan Saxena ne vahaan bhi jagah-jagah time-bam jo fit kar diye the ।
vo pichhli taraf ki ralling ke najdik pahunchakar thithkaa ।
usne niche jhaankaa, niche bhi ek galiyaaraa thaa । magar filhal vo puri tarah sunsaan thaa ।
jitni bhi aphraa-taphri machi thi, sab headquater ke agle hisse main machi thi ।
commander Karan Saxena ki nigaahen idhar-udhar daudin ।
jald hi use ek kaafi badi rassi pedi najar aa gayi । commander Karan Saxena ne daudakar rassi uthaa li ।
usne rassi khinchakar dekhi ।
vo majbut thi ।
commander ne rassi kaa ek siraa reling ke pipe ke saath kasakar baandhaa aur dusraa siraa niche galiyaare main latkaa diyaa ।
phir vo rassi par dhire-dhire niche uturne lagaa ।
jald hi usne dhamm se niche galiyaare main chhalaang lagaayi । niche kudte hi vo ekadam spring lage khillaune ki bhaanti sidhaa khadaa ho gayaa aur phir rassi usne vaapas upar reling ki taraf uchhaal di । uske baad vo daudtaa huaa najdik ke hi ek kamre main jaa chhipaa ।
saamne se paanch-chhah guard apne amination black boot bajaate hua tej-tej kadmon se usi taraf chale aa rahe the ।
commander Karan Saxena darvaaje ke donon paton se pith lagaaye stabdh mudraa main khadaa rahaa ।
jald hi vah guard kamre ke saamne se gujar gaye ।
commander ne ek behad shaktishaali time-bam us kamre ke andar fit kiyaa aur darvaaje ki jhiri main-se baahar jhaankaa ।
galiyaaraa sunsaan thaa ।
commander baahar nikal aayaa aur uske baad galiyaare main jagah-jagah time-bam fit kartaa huaa aage ki taraf daudaa ।
tabhi usne phir kuchh guardon ke us taraf aane kaa svar sunaa ।
commander fauran ek gol stambh ke pichhe chhup gayaa ।
guard ab kaafi karib aa chuke the । commander Karan Saxena ne dekhaa, vah tin guard the ।
“yhaan to koi nahin hai ।” usi kshan ek guard ki aavaaj commander ke kaanon main pedi ।
“kisi ke tej daudakar aane ki aavaaj to isi taraf se aa rahi thi ।”
“mujhe to kuchh gadabad lagti hai ।” vah ek any guard ki aavaaj thi- “jrur commander yahin-kahin chhipaa hai, hamain use talaash karnaa chaahieye ।”
“thik hai, dekhte hain ।”
guard jo galiyaare ke bich main hi thithakar khade ho gaye the, vah apne amination black boot bajaate hua phir aage ki taraf baade ।
commander ne apni latest machinegun sambhaal li ।
jaise hi vah guard us gol stambh ke karib aaye, commander ekadam kisi pret ki tarah un tinon ke saamne jaa khadaa huaa aur vah kuchh samajh paate, usse pahle hi goliyaan chikhti hui unke jism ke bhinn-bhinn hisson main jaa dhansi ।
commander phir aage ki taraf bhaagaa ।
jagah-jagah time-bam vo abhi bhi fit kartaa jaa rahaa thaa । is bich pichhe fit kiye gaye time-bamon main jor-jor se dhamaake hone lage ।
headquater ab taash ke patton ki tarah dhahtaa huaa najar aayaa ।
sabhi chhah yoddhaa jo commander Karan Saxena ki talaash main usi taraf daude chale aa rahe the, dhamaakon ki aavaaj sunakar thithak gaye ।
“meri ek salaah hai ।” Rony bolaa ।
“kyaa ?”
“commander is samay bahut aakraamak mood main hai । agar aisi paristhiti main hamaari usse muthbhad hui, to ismain koi shak nahin ki hammain se ek-do yoddhaa aur kam ho jaayenge aur phir bhi yah guaranty nahin hai ki commander Karan Saxena maaraa hi jaaye ।”
“tum kahnaa kyaa chaahte ho Rony ?” Havaam gurraayaa ।
“main sirf yah kahnaa chaahtaa hun mister Havaam !” Rony bolaa- “ki filhal ham logon ko yahaan se bhaagakar apni jaan bachaani chaahiye aur uske baad hamain thande aur shaant dimaag se koi yojnaa banaakar commander par hamlaa karnaa hogaa ।”
“yaani ham yahaan se pith dikhaakar bhaag khade hon ?” Abu Nidaal ki tyauriyon par bal pade- “ham kaayar ban jaayen ?”
“svaal kaayar banne kaa nahin hai Abu Nidaal ! savaal ye hai ki is vakt paristhitiyaan hamain kis baat ki ejaajat de rahi hain । jis baat ki paristhitiyaan ejaajat den, vahi kaam karne main buddhimaani hai ।”
“Rony bilkul thik kah rahaa hai ।” Jack Kramer ne bhi Rony ki baat kaa samarthan kiyaa- “filhal headquater chhodakar bhaagne main hi hamaari bhalaai hai । vaise bhi yahaan khandahron ke sivaay ab kuchh shish nahin bachaa hai । hamaari varshon ki mehanat tabaah ho chuki hai । jaldi bhaago !”
Jack Kramer ke aadesh ki der thi, fauran tamaam yoddhaa commander Karan Saxena ko dhundh nikaalne ki baat bhulakar headquater ke pichhle hisse ki taraf bhaage ।
vahaan ek chhotaa-saa hailiped banaa huaa thaa aur vahin ek gahre nile rang kaa helicopter khadaa thaa ।
sabse pahle Mike daudakar helicopter main chadhaa ।
phir Havaam, phir Jack Kramer , Master, Abu Nidaal aur uske baad Rony ।
Mike tab tak pilot seat par baithakar helicopter start kar chukaa thaa ।
jaise hi Rony ne jhatke se darvaajaa band kiyaa, tabhi helicopter ki pankhudiyaan jor-jor se ghumne lagin ।
helicopter start hone ki aavaaj commander ne bhi suni । vah daudtaa huaa jab tak pichhle hisse main pahunchaa, tab tak helicopter udaan bhar chukaa thaa aur vah bhayaanak garjnaa kartaa huaa dur aakaash main udaa jaa rahaa thaa ।
commander ne machinegun se helicopter ki taraf dhuaandhaar fireing ki ।
lekin sab bekaar !
helicopter fireing range se baahar nikal chukaa thaa ।
shighr hi vo commander ki najron se ojhal ho gayaa ।
“shit !” commander ne jor se apni jaangh par ghunsaa maaraa- “aakhirkaar sab bachakar bhaag nikle, sab ।”
commander ke chehre par hataashaa ghirne lagi ।
pichhe headquater main bamon ke dhamaake abhi bhi ho rahe the ।
lekin commander puri tarah niraash nahin thaa । vo jaantaa thaa, assault group ke vah sabhi chhah yoddhaa jungle chhodakar bhaagne vaale nahin hain ।
kyonki agar unhonne us jungle se baahar nikalne ki jaraa bhi koshish ki, to usi kshan chaaron taraf faili Burma ki fauj ne unhen maar daalnaa thaa ।
yaani abhi commander ki jungle main un yoddhaaon se muthbhad honi baaki thi ।
shaam dhire-dhire ghirne lagi ।
jungle main dubtaa huaa suraj bilkul aag ke gole jaisaa najar aa rahaa thaa, jiski ghanghor laalimaa n sirf saare aakaash main balki pure jungle main chaaron taraf faili hui thi ।
dubtaa huaa suraj aaj khun ki baarish kartaa mahsus ho rahaa thaa ।
vah jungleiyon ki basti thi ।
shaam ghirte hi jungleiyon ki us basti main bhi sannaataa fail gayaa ।
nile rang kaa helicopter us basti ke bichon-bich khadaa thaa । iske alaavaa ‘assault group’ ke sabhi chhah yoddhaa jungli sardaar ke jhompede main maujud the । vah sab sinkon ki ek chataai par gol daayraa banaaye baithe the aur aapas main yah mantrnaa kar rahe the ki commander se ab kis prkaar niptaa jaaye ।
unhin ke bich sardaar aur sardaarni bhi baithe the ।
“main samajhtaa hun ।” Jack Kramer kaafi sochne vichaarne ke baad bolaa- “commander ko maar daalne kaa ab bas hamaare paas ek hi tarikaa hai ।”
“kyaa ?”
“ham thodaa sabr se kaam len, is maamle main koi jaldbaaji n karen ।”
“kyaa matalab ?” Havaam chaunkaa- “main kuchh samjhaa nahin sir !”
“bilkul saaf baat hai ।” unmain sabse jyaadaa budhe Jack Kramer ne apne safed baalon ko pichhe jhatkaa diyaa- “agar sirf taakat ke balbute par commander ko maar daalnaa mumakin hotaa, to hamaare support group ke pahle chhah yoddhaaon ne hi use kab kaa maar daalaa hotaa ।”
“yaani taakat se use mitaanaa sambhav nahin hai ।”
“bilkul bhi nahin ।”
“phir ham kyaa karen ?” is baar Abu Nidaal bolaa ।
“hmain taakat ke saath-saath ab akl kaa bhi bharpur istemaal karnaa hogaa doston, tabhi ham is jung main kaamyaabi haasil kar sakte hain । tabhi hamain fateh haasil ho sakti hai । hathiyaaron ko ham bahut istemaal karke dekh chuke hain, hamain ab akal ko apnaa shastr banaanaa hogaa ।”
“akal mukhy shastr kaise banegi ?” Master bolaa ।
“uskaa bhi ek tarikaa hai ।”
“kyaa ?”
sabhi yoddhaa gaur se Jack Kramer ki baat sunne lage ।
sardaar aur sardaarni bhi stabdh mudraa main baithe the ।
sardaar aur sardaarni bhi stabdh mudraa main baithe the ।
“hmain ab aagaami paanch-chhah din tak commander ke khillaaf koi action nahin lenaa hai ।” Jack Kramer ne apni yojnaa ke patte un sabke saamne failaaye- “ab ham paanch-chhah din tak isi basti main rahenge aur bilkul khaamoshi ke saath rahengen, isse hamain yah faaydaa hogaa ki commander jungle main akelaa bhataktaa rahegaa । uske paas khaane-pine ki jo saamagri hogi, vo khatm hone lagegi aur jab uski taakat ghatakar aadhi se bhi kam rah jaayegi, tab ham sab yoddhaa ek saath milakar us par hamlaa bolenge । aur tab main samajhtaa hun, us kamjor commander Karan Saxena ko maar daalnaa hamaare lia kaafi aasaan kaam hogaa ।”
tamaam yoddhaaon ki aankhon main ek saath kayi-kayi sau vaat ke balb jal uthe ।
sabki aankhon main chamak kaundhi ।
“meri yojnaa aap logon ko kaisi lagi ?” Jack Kramer bolaa ।
“yojnaa to vaakaayi aapki bahut achchhi hai sir ।” Rony sahit tamaam yauddhaaon ne kabul kiyaa- “yaani ab aagaami paanch chhah din tak hamne commander Karan Saxena ke khillaaf kuchh nahin karnaa hai, hamne sirf is basti main rahakar aaraam karnaa hai ।”
“bilkul !”
“aur agar maan lo ।” Mike bolaa- “en paanch chhah din tak jungle main bhatakne se bhi commander Karan Saxena ke haunsle past n hua, tab ham kyaa karenge ?”
“sabse pahle to main samajhtaa hun ki aisaa hogaa nahin ।” Jack Kramer bolaa- “aur agar ittefhaq se aisaa huaa, to tab ki tab sochenge । pahle se pahle hi andaaje lagaakar dimaag kharaab karne se koi faaydaa nahin ।”
“bilkul thik baat hai ।” sardaar bhi bolaa- “filhal to aap logon ko sirf aaraam karne ke baare main sochnaa chaahiye ।”
sabke chehron par santosh jhalakne lagaa ।
“main to kahtaa hun sir !” Mike bolaa- “hmain filhal baaton main vakt barbaad karne ki bajaay baahar jaakar commander Karan Saxena kaa mukaablaa karnaa chaahiye ।”
sab yoddhaa phir apne-apne hathiyaar lekar buland hauslon ke saath radio-room se baahar nikle ।

jald hi usne dhamm se niche galiyaare main chhalaang lagaayi । niche kudte hi vo ekadam spring lage khillaune ki bhaanti sidhaa khadaa ho gayaa aur phir rassi usne vaapas upar reling ki taraf uchhaal di । uske baad vo daudtaa huaa najdik ke hi ek kamre main jaa chhipaa ।
saamne se paanch-chhah guard apne amination black boot bajaate hua tej-tej kadmon se usi taraf chale aa rahe the ।
commander Karan Saxena darvaaje ke donon paton se pith lagaaye stabdh mudraa main khadaa rahaa ।
jald hi vah guard kamre ke saamne se gujar gaye ।
commander ne ek behad shaktishaali time-bam us kamre ke andar fit kiyaa aur darvaaje ki jhiri main-se baahar jhaankaa ।
galiyaaraa sunsaan thaa ।
commander baahar nikal aayaa aur uske baad galiyaare main jagah-jagah time-bam fit kartaa huaa aage ki taraf daudaa ।
tabhi usne phir kuchh guardon ke us taraf aane kaa svar sunaa ।
commander fauran ek gol stambh ke pichhe chhup gayaa ।
guard ab kaafi karib aa chuke the । commander Karan Saxena ne dekhaa, vah tin guard the ।
“yhaan to koi nahin hai ।” usi kshan ek guard ki aavaaj commander ke kaanon main pedi ।
“kisi ke tej daudakar aane ki aavaaj to isi taraf se aa rahi thi ।”
“mujhe to kuchh gadabad lagti hai ।” vah ek any guard ki aavaaj thi- “jrur commander yahin-kahin chhipaa hai, hamain use talaash karnaa chaahieye ।”
“thik hai, dekhte hain ।”
guard jo galiyaare ke bich main hi thithakar khade ho gaye the, vah apne amination black boot bajaate hua phir aage ki taraf baade ।
commander ne apni latest machinegun sambhaal li ।
jaise hi vah guard us gol stambh ke karib aaye, commander ekadam kisi pret ki tarah un tinon ke saamne jaa khadaa huaa aur vah kuchh samajh paate, usse pahle hi goliyaan chikhti hui unke jism ke bhinn-bhinn hisson main jaa dhansi ।
commander phir aage ki taraf bhaagaa ।
jagah-jagah time-bam vo abhi bhi fit kartaa jaa rahaa thaa । is bich pichhe fit kiye gaye time-bamon main jor-jor se dhamaake hone lage ।
headquater ab taash ke patton ki tarah dhahtaa huaa najar aayaa ।
sabhi chhah yoddhaa jo commander Karan Saxena ki talaash main usi taraf daude chale aa rahe the, dhamaakon ki aavaaj sunakar thithak gaye ।
“meri ek salaah hai ।” Rony bolaa ।
“kyaa ?”
“commander is samay bahut aakraamak mood main hai । agar aisi paristhiti main hamaari usse muthbhad hui, to ismain koi shak nahin ki hammain se ek-do yoddhaa aur kam ho jaayenge aur phir bhi yah guaranty nahin hai ki commander Karan Saxena maaraa hi jaaye ।”
“tum kahnaa kyaa chaahte ho Rony ?” Havaam gurraayaa ।
“main sirf yah kahnaa chaahtaa hun mister Havaam !” Rony bolaa- “ki filhal ham logon ko yahaan se bhaagakar apni jaan bachaani chaahiye aur uske baad hamain thande aur shaant dimaag se koi yojnaa banaakar commander par hamlaa karnaa hogaa ।”
“yaani ham yahaan se pith dikhaakar bhaag khade hon ?” Abu Nidaal ki tyauriyon par bal pade- “ham kaayar ban jaayen ?”
“svaal kaayar banne kaa nahin hai Abu Nidaal ! savaal ye hai ki is vakt paristhitiyaan hamain kis baat ki ejaajat de rahi hain । jis baat ki paristhitiyaan ejaajat den, vahi kaam karne main buddhimaani hai ।”
“Rony bilkul thik kah rahaa hai ।” Jack Kramer ne bhi Rony ki baat kaa samarthan kiyaa- “filhal headquater chhodakar bhaagne main hi hamaari bhalaai hai । vaise bhi yahaan khandahron ke sivaay ab kuchh shish nahin bachaa hai । hamaari varshon ki mehanat tabaah ho chuki hai । jaldi bhaago !”
Jack Kramer ke aadesh ki der thi, fauran tamaam yoddhaa commander Karan Saxena ko dhundh nikaalne ki baat bhulakar headquater ke pichhle hisse ki taraf bhaage ।
vahaan ek chhotaa-saa hailiped banaa huaa thaa aur vahin ek gahre nile rang kaa helicopter khadaa thaa ।
sabse pahle Mike daudakar helicopter main chadhaa ।
phir Havaam, phir Jack Kramer , Master, Abu Nidaal aur uske baad Rony ।
Mike tab tak pilot seat par baithakar helicopter start kar chukaa thaa ।
jaise hi Rony ne jhatke se darvaajaa band kiyaa, tabhi helicopter ki pankhudiyaan jor-jor se ghumne lagin ।
helicopter start hone ki aavaaj commander ne bhi suni । vah daudtaa huaa jab tak pichhle hisse main pahunchaa, tab tak helicopter udaan bhar chukaa thaa aur vah bhayaanak garjnaa kartaa huaa dur aakaash main udaa jaa rahaa thaa ।
commander ne machinegun se helicopter ki taraf dhuaandhaar fireing ki ।
lekin sab bekaar !
helicopter fireing range se baahar nikal chukaa thaa ।
shighr hi vo commander ki najron se ojhal ho gayaa ।
“shit !” commander ne jor se apni jaangh par ghunsaa maaraa- “aakhirkaar sab bachakar bhaag nikle, sab ।”
commander ke chehre par hataashaa ghirne lagi ।
pichhe headquater main bamon ke dhamaake abhi bhi ho rahe the ।
lekin commander puri tarah niraash nahin thaa । vo jaantaa thaa, assault group ke vah sabhi chhah yoddhaa jungle chhodakar bhaagne vaale nahin hain ।
kyonki agar unhonne us jungle se baahar nikalne ki jaraa bhi koshish ki, to usi kshan chaaron taraf faili Burma ki fauj ne unhen maar daalnaa thaa ।
yaani abhi commander ki jungle main un yoddhaaon se muthbhad honi baaki thi ।
shaam dhire-dhire ghirne lagi ।
jungle main dubtaa huaa suraj bilkul aag ke gole jaisaa najar aa rahaa thaa, jiski ghanghor laalimaa n sirf saare aakaash main balki pure jungle main chaaron taraf faili hui thi ।
dubtaa huaa suraj aaj khun ki baarish kartaa mahsus ho rahaa thaa ।
vah jungleiyon ki basti thi ।
shaam ghirte hi jungleiyon ki us basti main bhi sannaataa fail gayaa ।
nile rang kaa helicopter us basti ke bichon-bich khadaa thaa । iske alaavaa ‘assault group’ ke sabhi chhah yoddhaa jungli sardaar ke jhompede main maujud the । vah sab sinkon ki ek chataai par gol daayraa banaaye baithe the aur aapas main yah mantrnaa kar rahe the ki commander se ab kis prkaar niptaa jaaye ।
unhin ke bich sardaar aur sardaarni bhi baithe the ।
“main samajhtaa hun ।” Jack Kramer kaafi sochne vichaarne ke baad bolaa- “commander ko maar daalne kaa ab bas hamaare paas ek hi tarikaa hai ।”
“kyaa ?”
“ham thodaa sabr se kaam len, is maamle main koi jaldbaaji n karen ।”
“kyaa matalab ?” Havaam chaunkaa- “main kuchh samjhaa nahin sir !”
“bilkul saaf baat hai ।” unmain sabse jyaadaa budhe Jack Kramer ne apne safed baalon ko pichhe jhatkaa diyaa- “agar sirf taakat ke balbute par commander ko maar daalnaa mumakin hotaa, to hamaare support group ke pahle chhah yoddhaaon ne hi use kab kaa maar daalaa hotaa ।”
“yaani taakat se use mitaanaa sambhav nahin hai ।”
“bilkul bhi nahin ।”
“phir ham kyaa karen ?” is baar Abu Nidaal bolaa ।
“hmain taakat ke saath-saath ab akl kaa bhi bharpur istemaal karnaa hogaa doston, tabhi ham is jung main kaamyaabi haasil kar sakte hain । tabhi hamain fateh haasil ho sakti hai । hathiyaaron ko ham bahut istemaal karke dekh chuke hain, hamain ab akal ko apnaa shastr banaanaa hogaa ।”
“akal mukhy shastr kaise banegi ?” Master bolaa ।
“uskaa bhi ek tarikaa hai ।”
“kyaa ?”
sabhi yoddhaa gaur se Jack Kramer ki baat sunne lage ।
sardaar aur sardaarni bhi stabdh mudraa main baithe the ।
sardaar aur sardaarni bhi stabdh mudraa main baithe the ।
“hmain ab aagaami paanch-chhah din tak commander ke khillaaf koi action nahin lenaa hai ।” Jack Kramer ne apni yojnaa ke patte un sabke saamne failaaye- “ab ham paanch-chhah din tak isi basti main rahenge aur bilkul khaamoshi ke saath rahengen, isse hamain yah faaydaa hogaa ki commander jungle main akelaa bhataktaa rahegaa । uske paas khaane-pine ki jo saamagri hogi, vo khatm hone lagegi aur jab uski taakat ghatakar aadhi se bhi kam rah jaayegi, tab ham sab yoddhaa ek saath milakar us par hamlaa bolenge । aur tab main samajhtaa hun, us kamjor commander Karan Saxena ko maar daalnaa hamaare lia kaafi aasaan kaam hogaa ।”
tamaam yoddhaaon ki aankhon main ek saath kayi-kayi sau vaat ke balb jal uthe ।
sabki aankhon main chamak kaundhi ।
“meri yojnaa aap logon ko kaisi lagi ?” Jack Kramer bolaa ।
“yojnaa to vaakaayi aapki bahut achchhi hai sir ।” Rony sahit tamaam yauddhaaon ne kabul kiyaa- “yaani ab aagaami paanch chhah din tak hamne commander Karan Saxena ke khillaaf kuchh nahin karnaa hai, hamne sirf is basti main rahakar aaraam karnaa hai ।”
“bilkul !”
“aur agar maan lo ।” Mike bolaa- “en paanch chhah din tak jungle main bhatakne se bhi commander Karan Saxena ke haunsle past n hua, tab ham kyaa karenge ?”
“sabse pahle to main samajhtaa hun ki aisaa hogaa nahin ।” Jack Kramer bolaa- “aur agar ittefhaq se aisaa huaa, to tab ki tab sochenge । pahle se pahle hi andaaje lagaakar dimaag kharaab karne se koi faaydaa nahin ।”
“bilkul thik baat hai ।” sardaar bhi bolaa- “filhal to aap logon ko sirf aaraam karne ke baare main sochnaa chaahiye ।”
sabke chehron par santosh jhalakne lagaa ।
