adhyaay 14: sahee bali ka bakara!
hathiyaaron ke aapas mein takaraane kee aavaaz prashikshan kaksh mein goonj rahee thee.
elesiya aur geraald ek doosare ke khilaaf lad rahe the, aur donon baraabaree par the - kam se kam kuchh samay ke lie.
yah sab tab badal gaya jab sundar mahila ne muskura kar kaee prakaash kee talavaaren bulaeen jo usake chaaron or chakkar laga rahee theen, jisase usake pati ko khud ko door karane ke lie majaboor hona pada.
lekin, vah ek galatee thee.
prakaash kee talavaaren misailon kee tarah usakee or badheen, jisase use chakama dene, vikshepit karane aur unhen rokane ke lie majaboor hona pada.
jab vah is vikarshan ke aage jhuk gaya, to elesiya ne unake beech kee dooree ko kam karane mein kaamayaabee haasil kee, aur usane apanee talavaar apane pati kee gardan par rakh dee, jisase dvandv samaapt ho gaya.
"tumane dhokha diya," geraald ne kadave svar mein kaha.
"mainne kiya," elesiya ne sveekaar kiya. "lekin isase tumhen aashchary hua, hai na?"
geraald ne sir hilaaya kyonki yah vaastav mein maamala tha. vah apanee patnee kee ladaee shailee ka itana aadee ho chuka tha ki jaise hee usane apana tareeka badala, use usakee chaalon ka mukaabala karana mushkil lagane laga.
donon mein se kisee ne bhee apanee pooree taakat nahin dikhaee, kyonki ve prashikshan maidaan aur sambhavatah apane ghar ko bhee nasht nahin karana chaahate the.
lekin elesiya ne jo shakti dikhaee, vah usake pati ko yah vishvaas dilaane ke lie paryaapt thee ki apanee naee maarshal takaneek ko samajhane ke teen dinon ke baad vah bahut majaboot ho gaee thee.
"aakhir zaayan aisa kaise kar paata hai?" geraald ne poochha, jab usane shaasha dvaara die gae haath ke tauliye se apana paseena ponchha.
"mainne bhee usase yahee savaal poochha tha. aur kya tumhen pata hai ki usane mujhe kis tarah ka javaab diya?" elesiya ne vaapas poochha.
"mujhe nahin pata, lekin mujhe yakeen hai ki tum mujhe bata dogee."
"tum mazedaar nahin ho."
phir elesiya ne apane paanch saal ke bachche kee or dekha, jo us samay apanee sabase chhotee betee remee ke saath "kaich bol" ka khel khel raha tha.
elesiya ko nahin pata tha ki tharteen itanee kam umr mein hee apanee chhotee bahan kee trening shuroo kar raha tha, jisase remee apanee indriyon ko tej kar sake aur apanee pratikriya samay ko behatar bana sake.
"siyon ne kaha ki vah aspataal mein kuchh samay ke lie mar gaya tha aur ek bhagavaan se mila tha," elesiya ne javaab diya. "usane aage kaha ki choonki vah marane ke lie bahut chhota, bahut sundar aur bahut bhayaanak tha, isalie bhagavaan ne use jeevan mein saphal hone ke lie gyaan dene ka phaisala kiya. haalaanki, use hamaare parivaar ke baahar is gyaan ko phailaane se pratibandhit kar diya gaya tha."
"... mujhe pata hai ki yah ajeeb lag sakata hai, lekin main is kahaanee par vishvaas karane ke lie bahut ichchhuk hoon," geraald ne javaab diya.
yah ekamaatr uchit spashteekaran tha jise vah sveekaar kar sakata tha ki usaka beta apanee umr ke hisaab se paripakv vyavahaar karane mein saksham tha, saath hee aisee cheejen jaanata tha jinake baare mein ve bhee nahin jaanate the.
"main bhee," elesiya ne sveekaar kiya. "lekin vah jeevit aur svasth hai. yahee sab maayane rakhata hai. vah abhee bhee chhota hai, isalie haalaanki usane apanee yaaden kho dee hain, phir bhee vah bada hone par naee yaaden bana sakata hai."
geraald ne sir hilaaya. "theek hai, kam se kam isase yah to pata chalata hai ki vah aap teenon ko ye maarshal takaneeken kyon de paaya. vaise, kya usane in takaneekon kee raink ka ullekh kiya?"
"pauraanik raink," elesiya ne dil kee dhadakan mein uttar diya.
"haahaaha! bahut mazedaar," geraald ne hansate hue kaha. "to, isakee asalee raink kya hai?"
"pauraanik."
"... kya tum gambheer ho?"
yahaan tak ki leventis svord aart bhee gold gred ke shikhar par thee, jisaka arth tha ki elesiya aur usake do bachchon ne jo kaushal seekha tha, vah das pratishthit parivaaron ke paas maujood kaushal se behatar tha.
elesiya ko yah nahin pata tha ki terah ne usase jhooth bola tha.
usane apane parivaar ke sadasyon ko jo takaneeken dee theen, ve divy raink vaalee maarshal takaneeken theen.
usane unhen sach kyon nahin bataaya, isaka ekamaatr kaaran do tha.
pahala kaaran yah tha ki use lag raha tha ki agar vah kahe ki ab unake paas teen divy raink vaalee maarshal takaneeken hain, to usakee maan aur pita us par vishvaas nahin karenge.
doosara kaaran usake parivaar kee suraksha thee.
vartamaan mein, maarshal kaushal ke lie uchchatam gyaat gred pauraanik raink ka tha. agar koee takaneek jo us raink ko paar kar jaatee hai, achaanak kaheen se prakat hotee hai, to yah paanch samraat kulon aur das pratishthit parivaaron ko terah aur usake parivaar ko nishaana banaane ke lie prerit karegee.
us mudde se bachane ke lie, usane keval itana kaha ki yah pauraanik raink kee thee.
usake pita aur maan donon hee ghumakkad the, isalie
hathiyaaron ke aapas mein takaraane kee aavaaz prashikshan kaksh mein goonj rahee thee.
