Nice updateadhyaay 25: seb ped se door nahin girata
achaanak?
durghatana?
ye vichaar sabhee ke dimaag mein ghoom rahe the jab ve paanch varsheey bachche ko dekh rahe the, jo apane gilaas mein phalon ka ras bharane ke lie vaapas aaya tha.
har koee ek manoranjak sho ka intazaar kar raha tha, lekin unhonne jo dekha vah vah nahin tha jo ve chaahate the.
yah ek durghatana ho sakatee hai, lekin parinaam bahut niraashaajanak tha, kam se kam kahane ke lie.
ledee kailista ne yah dekhakar aah bharee ki usaka pota surakshit hai.
doosaree or, hans paanch varsheey bachche ko apane chehare par ek gambheer bhaav ke saath dekh raha tha.
any log ise sanyog maan sakate the, lekin vah nahin.
usane terah ke saath baatacheet kee thee, isalie vah samajh gaya ki ladaka kitana buddhimaan tha.
tumane ise bahut badhiya tareeke se sambhaala, yang maastar siyon, hans ne apane dil mein ladake kee prashansa kee.
haalaanki, vah bahut jaldee khush ho gaya.
gyaarah varsheey ladaka, terens, jisane apane adheenasth ko terah se nipatane ke lie bheja tha, use jo hua vah pasand nahin aaya.
is vajah se, vah khud buphe kshetr kee or chala gaya, usake peechhe usake adheenasth bhee the.
jab batalar ne yah dekha, to vah andar se karaah utha aur use ummeed thee ki bada ladaka aisa koee drshy nahin banaega jisase usakee maalakin ke pote ko apamaanit hona pade.
yah ghatanaakram dekhane ke baad mehamaanon ke chehare par chamak aa gaee.
unake lie, jo solatera mein jinn aur maajin ke khilaaph ladane ke lie lagabhag hamesha apanee jaan jokhim mein daalate the, manoranjan ka koee bhee roop, khaasakar jab vah paarivaarik naatak ke roop mein aata tha, unake jeevan mein ek bahut hee svaagat yogy vikarshan tha.
"tum vahaan ho. tumhaara naam kya hai?" terens ke adheenasthon mein se ek ne us samay poochha jab ve ladake se ek meetar door pahunche.
"main?" terah ne donon haathon mein phalon ke ras ka gilaas pakade hue ulajhan mein vaapas poochha.
"haan, tum."
"haan, main."
"kya tum mere saath khilavaad kar rahe ho?" mota ladaka, jisane pahale savaal poochha tha, paanch saal ke bachche ko ghoorakar dekha jo usase chhota tha.
"tumhaara naam kya hai?" terah ne poochha.
"kristophar rotombas." mote ladake ne javaab diya.
"mera naam zaayan leventis hai," terah ne javaab diya. "maikal leventis mere chaacha hain. tum vahaan us daraavane vayask ko jaanate ho? usane mujhe pahale hee bataaya tha ki agar koee mujhe pareshaan karega, to vah use machhaliyon ko khilaana sunishchit karega. bade bhaee, tum bahut svasth dikhate ho. mujhe yakeen hai ki machhaliyaan tumhen pasand karengee."
mota ladaka leventis parivaar ke doosare-in-kamaand kee or dekhane se khud ko rok nahin saka, jo apane chehare par shaant bhaav ke saath use dekh raha tha.
isane mote ladake ko buree tarah dara diya. maikal leventis ko satah par ek aadarsh sajjan vyakti ke roop mein jaana jaata tha, lekin vaastav mein, vah ek kroor vyakti tha jo logon ko prataadit karana pasand karata tha!
yah sochakar ki terah sach bol raha hai, mota ladaka ghabara gaya, ek kadam peechhe hat gaya, usaka chehara dar se peela pad gaya.
"yah sach nahin hai!" mota ladaka hakalaaya. "sirf isalie ki main thoda mota hoon isaka matalab yah nahin hai ki main svaadisht hoon. mera svaad achchha nahin hai!"
"sach mein?" terah ne vaapas poochha.
"haan! asal mein, main bahut asvasth hoon. main-main itana bhee svasth nahin hoon ki mujhe machhaliyon ko khilaaya ja sake," mota ladaka hataash hokar bola.
vah kisee pratishthit parivaar mein paida nahin hua tha, isalie usake paas yah jaanane ke lie sahee maanasik prashikshan nahin tha ki koee jhooth bol raha hai ya nahin.
mote ladake ko usake parivaar ne terens ke adheenasthon mein se ek banane ke lie kaha tha, ummeed hai ki vah leventis parivaar ke kisee sadasy ke pair ko gale laga sakega.
"theek hai, main apane chaacha ko mana loonga ki ve tumhen machhaliyon ko na khilaen." terah ne sir hilaaya. "badale mein, kya tum phalon ke ras ke ye gilaas vahaan tebal par la sakate ho? vah meree chaachee kee tebal hai. jab tak tum aisa karate ho, main sunishchit karoonga ki tum machhaliyon ko na khilao."
"turant, yuva maastar zaayan!" mota ladaka phalon ke ras ke do gilaas lene mein sankoch nahin karata tha aur jaldee se unhen lokavud parivaar kee mej par rakh deta tha.
mota ladaka gilaason ko tebal ke oopar rakhane se pahale sammaanapoorvak jhukata tha aur terens kee taraph lautane se pahale doosaree baar jhukata tha.
ledee kailista is drshy ko dekhane ke baad muskuraaye bina nahin rah sakee. na keval usaka pota kisee aur ke adheenasth ko ordar karane mein kaamayaab raha, balki vah yah bhee karane mein saksham tha ki apane bhateeje maikal ko dhaal kee tarah istemaal karen.
sho kee pragati ko dekhane ke baad maikal ke chehare par bhaavashoony bhaav tha. phir bhee, use yah sveekaar karana pada ki usake bhateeje ne sthiti ko sambhaalane ke jis tareeke se kaam kiya, use usakee sveekrti milee.
haalaanki koee bhee is or ishaara nahin kar raha tha, lekin yah tathy ki koee kisee doosare ke adheenasth ko kuchh karane ka aadesh de sakata hai, isaka matalab hai ki paanch varsheey bachcha us vyakti par haavee hone mein saksham hai.
isaka matalab tha ki terens apane adheenasthon ko keval apane prati vaphaadaar banaane aur apane alaava kisee aur ke aadesh ko na sunane mein saksham nahin tha.
leventis parivaar ke vayaskon ne is par dhyaan diya, aur terah ke baare mein unakee dhaarana ek paayadaan oopar uth gaee.
usane sthiti par kaaboo paane ke lie koee gandee chaal chalee hogee, lekin ve jaanate the ki paanch varsheey bachche kee sthiti ka saamana karane par har kisee ke paas us tarah kee soojh-boojh nahin hogee.
terens ne mote ladake ko tirachhee nazar se dekha, jisase vah kaanp utha.
us sankshipt baatacheet mein, use samajh mein aa gaya ki usake maalik usake kaam se bahut khush nahin the, jisase use dar lag raha tha ki paartee ke baad usake saath kya ho sakata hai.
achaanak, terah ne thahaaka lagaaya, jisase mota ladaka usakee or ghoorane laga. no/v/ail/bin(.)ch0m par naee kahaaniyon ke lie klik karen
"bade bhaee, main tumhen pasand karata hoon!" terah ne javaab diya. "kya tum mere adheen kaam karana chaahoge? main bhee leventis parivaar ka sadasy hoon. mere lie kaam karo, aur main tumhen uda le jaoonga."
"nahin-nahin! main maastar terens ka adheenasth hoon!" mote ladake ne javaab diya. "main keval usake prati vaphaadaar hoon. vah duniya ka sabase achchha maastar hai!"
terens, jo pahale mote ladake se niraash tha, use laga ki usake adheenasth dvaara terah ke prastaav ko asveekaar karane ke baad usaka kuchh sammaan vaapas aa gaya hai. is vajah se, usane pahale kee tulana mein apanee saza kee gambheerata ko kam karane ka phaisala kiya.
terah ne apane haath se taalee bajaee aur us gol-matol ladake ko dekha, jisaka naam kristophar rotombas tha.
"kristophar, kaash mere paas bhee tumhaare jaisa koee adheenasth hota," terah ne kaha. "agar mera chachera bhaee tumhen kabhee chhod deta hai, to tum mere paas aakar mil sakate ho, theek hai?"
"aisa nahin hone vaala hai!" kristophar ne kaha. "meree vafaadaaree sirf maastar terens ke lie hai."
"haah... samajh gaya." terah ne kadavaahat se aah bharee. "tum bhaagyashaalee ho ki tumhaare paas usake jaisa koee hai, chachere bhaee. ab, agar tum mujhe maaf karoge. mujhe daadee se baat karanee hai. usane kaha ki vah mere khaane ke baad mujhase baat karana chaahatee hai. kya yah sahee nahin hai, daadee?"
terah ne is daadee ko sneh bharee nazar se dekha, jisase boodhee mahila meethee muskaan ke saath muskuraee.
"aao, siyyon," ledee kailista ne apane pote ko apane paas aane ka ishaara karate hue kaha. "daadee tumase baat karana chaahatee hain."
"main aa raha hoon, daadee," zaayan ne terens ko ek sankshipt sir hilaane se pahale uttar diya.
phir vah aatmavishvaas se apanee pyaaree daadee kee or chala gaya, jabaki terens, saath hee paartee mein any mehamaan usakee chhotee peeth ko dekh rahe the.
shuroo se ant tak, baatacheet par poora niyantran rakhane vaala koee aur nahin balki paanch varsheey ladaka tha.
usane kushalata se ek aisa drshy banaaya jisase terens ke saath seedhe takaraav se bacha ja sake, jisase vah maamale ko shaantipoorvak sulajha sake.
bachchon ne shaayad dhyaan na diya ho, lekin vayaskon ne zaroor dhyaan diya. us bachche ne kristophar ko terens kee nazaron mein khud ko sudhaarane ka mauka diya, jisase usane usake prati apanee vaphaadaaree kee kasam khaee.
haalaanki usane pahale terah ke aadesh ka paalan kiya, jisase terens ka chehara kharaab ho gaya, lekin usake adheenasth bane rahane ke usake drdh aur adig rukh ne leventis parivaar ke gyaarah varsheey pratibhaashaalee vyakti ko usakee pichhalee galatee ke lie maaf kar diya, jisane mote ladake ko ek dayaneey ant se bacha liya.
terah top ke chaare kee vyavastha thee, isalie vah jaanata tha ki jin do ladakon ne use pareshaan karane kee koshish kee thee, unhen keval vahee karane ke lie majaboor kiya gaya tha jo unhonne kiya.
is vajah se, usane unhen baahar nikalane ka raasta diya, taaki unamen se kisee ko bhee gambheer chot na lage.
haalaanki pahala ladaka usakee chaalon se peedit tha, lekin leventis parivaar ke shaktishaalee chikitsakon dvaara usakee choton ko aasaanee se theek kiya ja sakata tha.
sankshep mein, use shaareerik roop se peeda ho sakatee thee, lekin use koee aur parinaam nahin bhugatana padata kyonki terens ko us par daya aatee thee.
jab terah varsheey ledee kailista ke saamane pahunche, tabhee terens ko yaad aaya ki vah paanch varsheey bachche ke saath kya karane kee yojana bana raha tha.
jis tarah se chhote ladake ne baatacheet ka netrtv karane kee pahal kee, usake paas apane adheenasth ke lie apana badala lene ka samay nahin tha.
yah vayaskon dvaara bhee dekha gaya, jisase unhen paanch varsheey ladake ka punarmoolyaankan karana pada, jo ab leventis parivaar kee sabase shaktishaalee mahilaon mein se ek ke saath khushee se baatacheet kar raha tha.
hans, jo ledee kailista kee vartamaan sthiti ko theek karane mein madad karane ke lie terah ka sahayogee ban gaya tha,

adhyaay 26: jooniyar, tum maut ko daavat de rahe ho?
paartee aise chalatee rahee jaise kuchh hua hee na ho.
lekin mehamaan abhee bhee niraash the kyonki unaka "manoranjan" sirf ek baar nahin balki do baar unase chheen liya gaya tha.
choonki terah ledee kailista ke saath rah raha tha, isalie is baat kee koee sambhaavana nahin thee ki koee use naaraaz karane kee himmat karega.
beshak, terah jaanata tha ki yah sirf ek asthaayee upaay tha.
leventis parivaar kee yuva peedhee mein asantosh un logon ke lie spasht tha jo ise dekh sakate the.
yah samajhate hue ki sthiti bahut jald badal jaegee, paanch varsheey bachche ne surakshit khelane ka phaisala kiya aur kaarravaee kee.
jab ek vetar, jo apane haathon mein drink pakade hue tha, unakee tebal ke paas se guzara, to terah ne mauka liya aur apane labaade ko kheencha.
"mistar, kya main unamen se ek drink le sakata hoon?" terah ne poochha. "ve achchhe lag rahe hain."
"um, yang maastar, yah koee phroot joos nahin hai," vetar ne vinamrata se javaab diya. "ise shaimpen kahate hain, aur yah vayaskon ke lie ek maadak pey hai." nov/ailbin(.)ch/om par naveenatam 𝒏𝒐vails praapt karen
"mistar, yah theek hai," terah muskuraaya. "main bas ek chhota sa ghoont loonga."
"lekin..." vetar asahaay mahasoos kar raha tha. usane dekha tha ki ladaka ledee kailista ke kareeb tha, isalie vah asabhy nahin hona chaahata tha. lekin vah yah bhee samajhata tha ki agar usane vaastav mein kisee bachche ko maadak pey diya to use saja mil sakatee hai.
"zaayan, tum abhee bhee shaimpen peene ke lie bahut chhote ho," ledee kailista ne kaha. "kyon na ham hans se tumhaare lie phalon ka ras laane ke lie kahen? tum kya pasand karoge?"
"daadee, main bas ek ghoont lena chaahata hoon," terah ne pilla aankhon se uttar diya. "yah bahut achchha lag raha hai. kya main nahin pee sakata?"
ledee kailista ne bhaunhen sikodeen aur use yah bataane hee vaalee thee ki bachchon ko shaimpen nahin peena chaahie kyonki ve abhee chhote hain, lekin kisee aur ne usase pahale hee yah baat kah dee.
"kya yah theek nahin hai?" aarthar ne apanee patnee kee or chalate hue kaha. "bachche apanee galatiyon se hee seekhate hain. yah sabase achchha hai ki vah ise jaldee seekh le, taaki vah bhavishy mein vahee galatee na doharae."
leventis parivaar ke kulapati ne phir vetar kee or dekha, jisase vetar ne samajh mein aane par apana sir hilaaya.
"yahaan aap le jaie, yang maastar," vetar ne saavadhaanee se paanch varsheey ladake ko shaimpen ka gilaas diya, jo pey ko badee dilachaspee se dekh raha tha. "bas kuchh ghoont pee lo, theek hai? agar tumhen chakkar ya chakkar aa raha hai, to tumhen ruk jaana chaahie."
"samajh gaya." terah ne uttar diya. "dhanyavaad, mistar!"
vetar ne sir hilaaya aur apane mehamaanon ko shaimpen dene ke lie chala gaya.
terah khushee-khushee apanee daadee kee or chala gaya, jisase daadee asahaay hokar apana sir hila rahee thee.
"bas kuchh ghoont, theek hai?" ledee kailista ne apane pote ke sir par thapathapaate hue kaha. "shaimpen badon ko bhee nashe mein daal sakata hai, isalie tumhen ise bahut zyaada nahin peena chaahie."
"mamm!" tharteen ne aagyaakaaree bachche kee tarah sir hilaaya aur apane haathon mein shaimpen ka ek chhota ghoont liya. "vaah! daadee, isaka svaad bahut achchha hai!"
use kitana khush dekhakar ledee kailista sirf kadavee muskaan hee de sakee. use lag raha tha ki tharteen poora gilaas pee jaega aur baad mein use bahut neend aaegee.
is vajah se, usane hans ko ishaara karane ka phaisala kiya. usane batalar se zaayan ke parivaar ko fon karane aur usakee maan ko bataane ke lie kaha ki vah raat bhar rukega.
hans ne sir hilaaya aur paartee ke vikaas ke baare mein elesiya se baat karane ke lie hol ke kone mein jaane se pahale maafee maangee.
aarthar ne paanch saal ke bachche ko dekhakar andar hee andar kharraate lie, jo khushee-khushee spaarkaling drink pee raha tha jo bachchon ke lie nahin thee.
maikal, jo aayojan sthal par dhyaan de raha tha, apane mehamaanon ke haav-bhaavon ko dhyaan se not kar raha tha.
yah dekhakar ki ve apane-apane tareeke se paartee ka aanand le rahe the, use aur bhee sahaj mahasoos hua.
haalaanki paanch samraat kabeele aur das pratishthit parivaar hamesha ek-doosare ke saath nahin milate the, phir bhee ve aise vyavahaar karate the jaise ki ve mitravat sambandh rakhate hon, khaasakar is tarah ke aayojanon ke dauraan.
achaanak, terens aur lokavud parivaar ke ek any gyaarah varsheey ladake ne ek-doosare ko dekha aur muskurae.
phir ladaka apane daada, aarthar kee or chala gaya aur sammaanapoorvak apana sir jhukaaya.
"daadaajee, choonki sabhee ne khaana lagabhag samaapt kar liya hai, kya yah theek rahega agar mera dost aur mere paas sabake manoranjan ke lie ek mukaabala hai?" terens ne poochha.
"main isakee anumati deta hoon," aarthar ne uttar diya. "maikal, taiyaariyon ka dhyaan rakhana."
"haan, pita," maikal ne mukhy hol ke andar cheejon ko vyavasthit rakhane ka kaam saumpe gae kuchh logon kee or dekhane se pahale sir hilaaya.
unamen se ek ne haath ke chihn banae. kuchh sekand baad, mukhy hol mein ek halka neela avarodh dikhaee diya, jo un logon ke lie akhaade ke roop mein kaam karega jo mukaabala karana chaahate the.
pratishthit parivaaron ke pratinidhiyon ne apane bachchon ko bhaag lene ke lie prerit kiya kyonki is tarah kee sabhaon ke dauraan yah ek saamaany ghatana thee.
yah doosare parivaaron ko yah bataane ka ek tareeka tha ki unake bachche kitane achchhe hain aur unakee kshamata ka pradarshan karate hain. beshak, bachchon ko bhee is tarah ke aayojan pasand the kyonki ve sabhee bahut pratispardhee the.
unhen chhotee umr mein saamaany bachchon se behatar banane ke lie paala gaya tha, isalie ve apane saathiyon ke saath mukaabala karane aur yah saabit karane ke lie utsuk the ki yuva peedhee ke sadasyon mein sabase majaboot kaun hai.
terens leventis parivaar ke beejon mein se ek tha, jisamen bahut kuchh tha kshamata.
beshak, parivaar mein usase zyaada taakatavar koee tha, lekin us bachche ko in saarvajanik ladaee-jhagadon mein bhaag lene kee anumati nahin thee. ve tramp kaard the, jinhen parivaar mein uchch pad par aaseen hone ke lie prashikshit kiya ja raha tha.
paanch samraat kulon aur any nau pratishthit parivaaron mein bhee ye pratibhaen theen.
ve unhen paathaphaindar banane ke lie taiyaar kar rahe the.
bhatakane vaalon ke vipareet jo keval ek jagah se doosaree jagah bhatakate the, paathaphaindar ve log the jo doosaron ka netrtv kar sakate the, jisase ve yuva peedhee ke sachche neta ban jaate the.
mool roop se, jinake paas netrtv ke gun the, saath hee doosaron dvaara pahachaane jaane kee taakat thee, unhen aksar paathaphaindar ke roop mein lebal kiya jaata tha.
ek-ek karake, bachche ek-doosare ke khilaaf ladate the, jisase paartee mein jaan aa jaatee thee.
parivaaron ke beech chhipee pratidvandvita aksar in mukaabalon ke dauraan bhadak jaatee thee, aur koee yah bata sakata tha ki yah doosaron ko yah bataane ka unaka tareeka tha ki "hamaare bachche aapake bachchon se zyaada taakatavar hain!"
zyaadaatar ladaiyaan ek minat ke bheetar khatm ho jaatee theen, jabaki sabase lambee ladaee lagabhag teen minat tak chalee.
choonki ye bachche abhee bhee saadhaaran manushy the aur abhee tak ghumakkad nahin bane the, isalie unhonne apane parivaar kee takaneekon par adhik dhyaan kendrit kiya, jisase pata chala ki unhonne unamen kitanee mahaarat haasil kar lee hai.
paartee aise chalatee rahee jaise kuchh hua hee na ho.
lekin mehamaan abhee bhee niraash the kyonki unaka "manoranjan" sirf ek baar nahin balki do baar unase chheen liya gaya tha.

Update 27 A
adhyaay 27: apanee kshamata se adhik ka sevan karana
terah ne in ladaiyon ko aadhee-adhooree aankhon se dekha aur apanee bachee huee shaimpen peena jaaree rakha.
yah shareer vaastav mein kamazor hai, terah ne socha. mainne sirf ek gilaas shaimpen pee hai, lekin mujhe pahale se hee neend aa rahee hai.
achaanak, usane terens ko muskuraate hue apanee or aate dekha, aur vah sahaj roop se samajh gaya ki vah kshan aa gaya hai.
tumane pahale hee do baar koshish kee hai, aur tum abhee bhee apanee kismat aajamaana chaahate ho? terah ne apana bacha hua pey pee liya.
haalaanki vah yah sveekaar nahin karana chaahata tha, lekin vah pahale se hee kaaphee nashe mein tha. keval usakee drdh ichchhaashakti hee use sabake saamane khud ko moorkh banaane se rok rahee thee.
"chachere bhaee, kyon na ham thoda laden?" terens ne poochha. nov/ailbin(.)ch/om par naveenatam 𝒏𝒐vails praapt karen
"zaayan pahale se hee neend mein hai aur nashe mein hai," ledee kailista ne drdhata se kaha. "vah ladane ke laayak nahin hai. terens, khelane ke lie doosare bachchon kee talaash karo." ledee kailista ko pahale se hee pata tha ki terens khaas taur par usake pote ko nishaana bana raha tha. ek vayask ke roop mein, vah bachchon ke beech ke maamale mein dakhal nahin dena chaahatee thee, lekin vah apane pote ke prati pakshapaatee thee. ledee kailista kee aavaaz mein naaraazagee sunakar, terens ne phaisala kiya ki is maamale par use pareshaan karana uchit nahin hai. is vajah se, usane ek kadam peechhe hatane aur apanee ashishtata ke lie maafee maangane ka phaisala kiya. lekin isase pahale ki vah aisa kar paata, paanch saal ka ladaka ek kadam aage badha aur usake chehare kee or ishaara kiya. "tumhaare jaisa kamazor aadamee mujhe chunautee dene kee himmat kaise kar sakata hai?" terah ne poochha. "jooniyar, tum maut ko daavat de rahe ho." "..." "..." "..." "..." "vah nashe mein hai." paartee mein maujood logon ne us utsaahee paanch saal ke bachche ko dekha jisaka chehara laal ho gaya tha. unhen samajh mein nahin aa raha tha ki unhen hansana chaahie ya usake lie taras khaana chaahie, kyonki jaahir hai, vah gyaarah saal ke ladake ko jooniyar kahane ke lie sahee maanasik sthiti mein nahin tha, jabaki vah khud keval paanch saal ka tha.
"kya hua?" terah ne poochha. "kya tum dare hue ho? *hich* agar tum dare hue ho to chale jao. main kamazoron se nahin ladata."
ledee kailista ne bhaunhen sikodeen aur hans ko ishaara kiya ki vah siyyon ko apane kamare mein le jae taaki vah aaraam kar sake.
haalaanki, aarthar kee hansee aas-paas phail gaee, jisane sabhee ko aashcharyachakit kar diya.
"yah dilachasp hai, ek naak-bhaun sikodane vaala bachcha apane se bade kisee ko jooniyar kahane kee himmat kaise kar sakata hai?" aarthar muskuraaya. "terens, use ek baadha avashy den."
yah dekhakar ki usake daadaajee ne usakee chunautee ko sveekaar kar liya hai, terens ne apana sir hilaaya aur ladake kee or dekha, jisane use do baar sharminda kiya tha.
"chinta mat karo, main keval ek haath ka upayog karoonga, aur main apanee jagah se nahin hiloonga. main tum par hamala bhee nahin karoonga. yadi tum mujh par vaar kar sakate ho to yah tumhaaree jeet hai," terens ne kaha.
vah keval apane mehamaanon ka manoranjan karane ke lie tharteen ko moorkh banaana chaahata tha. us samay terens yahee soch raha tha, aur choonki usane itane saare aashvaasan die the, isalie use yakeen tha ki ledee kailista bhee paanch varsheey bachche ko usake saath mukaabala karane dene ke lie sahamat ho jaegee.
jaisa ki terens ne ummeed kee thee, ledee kailista anichchha se isake lie sahamat ho gaee.
choonki terens apane pote par hamala nahin karega aur usane keval ek jagah khade rahane ka vaada kiya tha, isalie usane tharteen ko usake saath mukaabala karane dene ka phaisala kiya.
haalaanki, usane phir bhee aarthar ko "isake baad, main tumhaare saath ek achchhee aur lambee baatacheet karoonga" vaalee nazar se dekha, jisase sundar madhyam aayu varg ka aadamee muskuraaya.
"hans, is mukaabale ka repharee bano," ledee kailista ne aadesh diya. usakee aavaaz drdh thee, aur yah sanket de rahee thee ki vah kisee ko bhee usaka virodh karane kee anumati nahin degee.
"jaisa aap aadesh den, meree ledee," hans ne apana sir jhukaaya aur yahaan tak ki tharteen ko akhaade kee or chalane mein madad kee taaki vah terens ke khilaaph mukaabala kar sake.
kisee kaaran se, haalaanki kamare mein sabhee ko laga ki chhote ladake kee vartamaan sthiti ke kaaran yah ek majedaar mukaabala hone vaala hai, hans ko lag raha tha ki yah sab tharteen kee yojana ka hissa tha.
jab se usane ladake ke saath baatacheet kee, usane ab use ek bachche kee tarah nahin maana.
use abhee bhee yah ajeeb lag raha tha ki vah is tarah se sochata hai, lekin tharteen mein kuchh aisa tha jo use usake prati bina shart bharosa mahasoos karaata tha.
yah bhaavana use keval ledee kailista ke lie thee, aur ab, vah ek paanch varsheey bachche ke lie bhee yahee mahasoos kar raha tha, jisase vah keval do saptaah pahale hee mila tha.
jab donon bachche aakhirakaar ek-doosare ke saamane the, to hans ne apana haath uthaaya aur ladaee kee shuruaat kee ghoshana kee.
phir terah hansa aur nashe mein ladakhadaata hua terens kee or badha, jo usake ajeeb vyavahaar ke kaaran us par hans raha tha.
any mehamaan ya to hans rahe the ya muskura rahe the, yah sochakar ki paanch varsheey bachche kee harakaten bahut mazedaar theen.
kaee baar to unhen laga ki vah pharsh par girane vaala hai kyonki vah bahut buree tarah ladakhada raha tha.
jab vah terens se keval ek meetar kee dooree par tha, to usane gyaarah varsheey bachche ko mukka maarane kee koshish kee, lekin terens ne keval apane haath se use vikshepit kiya.
choonki usaka mukka chook gaya tha, isalie terens ke vikshepan kee gati ke kaaran terah ka shareer ghoom gaya.
sabhee ko laga ki chhota ladaka girane hee vaala tha ki achaanak, tharteen ka baayaan pair oopar utha aur galatee se terens ke baen ghutane par laga, jisase bada ladaka karaah utha.
"hehehe, main jeet gaya," tharteen ne bade ladake kee or ishaara karate hue hansate hue kaha, jise ummeed nahin thee ki vah paanch saal ke bachche kee anaadee aur apratyaashit kik se maara jaega. "kamazor haahaaha!"
"vah ginatee mein nahin aata!" jab tharteen ne unhen unake mukaabale kee sthiti ke baare mein yaad dilaaya, to sharmindagee ke kaaran terens ka chehara chukandar kee tarah laal ho gaya.
aakhirakaar, bade ladake ne ghoshana kee thee ki agar tharteen us par vaar karane mein kaamayaab raha, to yah usakee jeet hogee.
"eh? tum apanee baat se peechhe hat rahe ho?" tharteen ne munh banaaya aur vah idhar-udhar jhoolane laga. "yah achchha nahin hai."
"to, yah kaisa rahega? agar tum mujhe phir se maaroge, to yah vaastav mein tumhaaree jeet hogee," terens ne kaha.
"nahin. mujhe isase koee laabh nahin milata, isalie dhanyavaad nahin." "laabh? to agar tum jeet jao to main tumhen peek bronj-gred hathiyaar de doon?" terah ne apana sir hilaaya. "tumhaare paas sirf ek bronj-gred hathiyaar hai? kya tumhaare daadaajee gareeb hain? unhonne tumhen sirf bronj-gred hathiyaar kyon diya? ve zaroor bahut kanjoos aur gareeb honge! hich." terah kee baaten sunane ke baad mukhy hol mein sannaata chha gaya. terens ke daada koee aur nahin balki leventis parivaar ke kulapati aarthar leventis the. aur ek paanch saal ke bachche ne unhen kanjoos aur gareeb kahane kee himmat kee? achaanak, poore hol mein hansee goonj uthee, jo ghantee bajane jaisee lag rahee thee. sabakee nazar vheelacheyar par baithee boodhee mahila par padee, jo abhee bhee aise hans rahee thee jaise usane apane jeevan ka sabase majedaar chutakula suna ho.
shaayad, vah akelee thee jo leventis parivaar ke kulapati ke baare mein mazaak karane vaale kisee vyakti par bina usake kaaryon ke parinaamon kee chinta kie hansatee thee.
usakee hansee dekhakar aarthar muskuraaya aur paanch varsheey bachche kee or dekha, jisane kamare mein sabhee ke saamane usaka apamaan kiya tha.
"mid silvar-gred," aarthar ne kaha. "yadi tum jeetate ho, to main tumhen tumhaaree pasand ka mid silvar-gred hathiyaar doonga."
terah, jise abhee bhee theek se khada hona mushkil lag raha tha, aarthar kee baat sunakar ladakhada gaya.
haalaanki usaka chehara laal ho gaya tha aur aisa lag raha tha ki vah kisee bhee kshan pharsh par gir jaega, lekin usakee aankhon kee gaharaee mein sharaarat kee ek jhalak thodee der ke lie chamak uthee.
boodhe aadamee ne chaara kha liya, terah ne socha. ab, mujhe mikhail ke lie hathiyaar khojane kee chinta nahin karanee padegee, jab vah apana doosara bhatakana poora kar lega.
haalaanki usaka parivaar ek aaraamadaayak jeevan jee raha tha, lekin geraald aur elesiya ke paas apane bachchon ke lie solatera mein apanee yaatra ke lie achchhe upakaran khareedane ke lie paryaapt paise nahin the.
yahee kaaran tha ki geraald ne ek abhiyaan par jaane ka phaisala kiya - yah mikhail ke lie hathiyaaron aur kavach ka ek achchha set khareedane ke lie paryaapt dhan ikattha karana tha, jab vah apana doosara bhatakana poora kar lega.
teesare bhatakane par, jo bachche bach gae, unhen solatera mein doosaron dvaara praapt kie gae kisee bhee upakaran ka upayog karane kee anumati dee jaegee ya solatera se lee gaee vastuon ka upayog karake jaalee banaaya jaega.
beshak, abhee bhee pratibandh the.
doosara bhatakana poora karane ke baad, bachche rookee se nipun ban jaate the.
sarvochch is avastha mein ve jis gred ke hathiyaar ka istemaal kar sakate the, ve mid silvar-gred hathiyaar the.
keval samraat kulon aur pratishthit parivaaron ke bachche hee apane saathiyon par is tarah ka laabh praapt kar sakate the.
beshak, apavaad the, lekin jab tak aap is parivaar ka hissa the, bhale hee aapakee pratibha ausat darje kee ho, phir bhee aap is tarah ke hathiyaar praapt kar sakate the. yah in parivaaron mein paida hone ke laabhon mein se ek tha.
(a/n: pratyek hathiyaar gred ke chaar charan hote hain, arthaat nimn, madhy, uchch aur shikhar.)

adhyaay 28: aapaka bhateeja zaroor kuchh hai
jaise hee terah terens ke paas pahunch raha tha, usane achaanak kuchh kadam peechhe kheenche aur batalar kee or dekha, jo unake spairing maich ka repharee tha.
"mi. batalar *hich* main is spairing maich kee sharten bhool gaya," terah ne kaha. "main phir se kaise jeet sakata hoon?"
hans ne us ladake kee or dekha jo asthir aankhon se use dekh raha tha, phir usane apanee nazar terens par ghumaee.
hans ne kaha, "is dvandv kee shart phir se batao." "choonki kulapati ne is ladake ko jeetane par inaam dene par sahamati jataee hai, isalie sabase achchha hai ki pahale niyam spasht kar die jaen."
paartee mein maujood vayaskon kee nazar mein, mid silvar-gred hathiyaar ka utana mahatv nahin tha. haalaanki, jin bachchon ne abhee tak apanee pahalee yaatra shuroo nahin kee thee, unake lie aisa hathiyaar ek khajaana maana jaata tha jo solatera mein unakee bhavishy kee yaatraon mein unakee madad karega.
terens ghabara gaya kyonki terah par hamala karane kee usakee mool yojana ko alag rakhana pada.
yadi niyam spasht kar die gae hote, phir bhee vah bachche par hamala karata, to log sochate ki vah apane aas-paas ke logon kee buddhimatta ka mazaak uda raha hai.
choonki kulapati maujood the, isalie ab unaka kartavy tha ki ve hans ke prashn ka uttar den aur dvandv kee sthiti bataen.
"agar vah mere shareer par hamala karane mein saphal ho jaata hai ya mujhe apanee jagah se hila deta hai, to vah jeet jaega," terens ne javaab diya. "main bhee us par kisee bhee tarah se hamala nahin karoonga aur apanee raksha ke lie keval apane ek haath ka upayog karoonga."
terah dvandv kaise jeetega, isakee sharten bataane ke baad, nashe mein dhut ladake ne aakhirakaar samajh mein apana sir hilaaya.
usane pahale hee terens ke use maarane ke iraade ko mahasoos kar liya tha. haalaanki koee hatya ka iraada nahin tha, phir bhee isane paanch varsheey bachche ko yah jaanane kee anumati dee ki agar vah hamala karane kee seema mein aaya to bada ladaka us par javaabee hamala karane vaala hai.
is vajah se, usane hans se pahale jeet ke niyamon kee pushti karane ke lie kaha, taaki yah sunishchit ho sake ki ladake ko unake mukaabale kee sharton ko phir se bataane ke lie majaboor kiya jaega.
jaisa ki apekshit tha, terens ka rukh badal gaya tha. terah ko ab aisa nahin laga ki bada ladaka us par hamala karana chaahata hai, jisase vah andar hee andar muskura raha tha.
haalaanki, choonki usake pratidvandvee ne use nukasaan pahunchaane kee bhee himmat kee, isalie usane bhee apanee yojana badal dee.
phir nashe mein dhut chhota ladaka tebal kee or badha aur bartan vaale kshetr mein chala gaya. phir usane ek darjan stek chaakoo uthae, jisase terens kee aankhen chaunk kar chaudee ho gaeen.
"o-oee! tumhen kya lagata hai ki tum kya kar rahe ho?!" terens chillaaya, jabaki terah usake haathon mein stek chaakooon ka guchchha pakade hue ladakhadaate hue usakee or badha.
"hamm?" terah ne terens se teen meetar door khade hokar bhaunhen sikodeen.
phir usane chaakoo pharsh par gira die aur unamen se do utha lie. n/𝒐(v)ail/bin(.)chom par aapake pasandeeda 𝒏ovails
"bas sthir khade raho," tharteen ne kaha aur apana haath peechhe kheench liya, apane haath mein stek chaakoo phenkane kee taiyaaree kar raha tha.
"ruko!" terens chillaaya. "tum stek chaakoo ka upayog kyon kar rahe ho?! mainne tumhen nahin bataaya ki tumhen isaka upayog karane kee anumati hai."
"yah sahee hai *hich*," tharteen ne uttar diya. "tumane mujhe nahin bataaya ki isakee anumati nahin hai *hich*. oh? achaanak tum donon kyon ho gae? koee baat nahin, main pahale ek ko maaroonga, aur baakee ko baad mein samajhoonga."
bina ek aur shabd kahe, tharteen ne stek chaakoo phenka, jo terens ke baen kandhe se takaraaya. unake spairing erina ke kinaaron par khade bairiyar kee vajah se, yah kisee aur ko nahin laga aur haanirahit roop se pharsh par gir gaya.
"main samajh gaya, to yah nakalee hai," tharteen ne usake haath mein doosara stek chaakoo phenkane se pahale hansate hue kaha. "theek hai, yah doosara hai."
chaakoo tejee se phenka gaya, terens ke darjee-nirmit soot ke daahine kandhe par ek chhota sa cheera laga.
"main phir se chook gaya *hich*," tharteen muskuraaya. chaar stek chaakoo uthaane se pahale aur terens ko usake chehare par shaitaanee muskaan ke saath dekhane se pahale. "is baar *hich* main chook nahin jaoonga, isalie khud ko taiyaar rakho. *hich*."
jaise hee vah apane haath mein chaar stek chaakoo phenkane vaala tha, tharteen ne mahasoos kiya ki ek vayask ka haath usake kandhe par tika hua hai.
"theek hai, bas itana hee kaaphee hai," maikal ne kaha, ladake ko leventis parivaar ke sadasyon mein se kisee ko chot pahunchaane se rokane ke lie akhaade mein kadam rakhate hue.
usane dekha tha ki paanch saal ke bachche ne kaise do chaakoo phenke the. usake lie yah samajhana kaaphee tha ki vah jo kar raha tha, usamen vah bahut kushal tha.
yah tathy ki doosare chaakoo ne terens ke soot ko bina khoon bahae phaad diya, yah saabit karata hai ki usake
jaise hee terah terens ke paas pahunch raha tha, usane achaanak kuchh kadam peechhe kheenche aur batalar kee or dekha, jo unake spairing maich ka repharee tha.
"mi. batalar *hich* main is spairing maich kee sharten bhool gaya," terah ne kaha. "main phir se kaise jeet sakata hoon?"
hans ne us ladake kee or dekha jo asthir aankhon se use dekh raha tha, phir usane apanee nazar terens par ghumaee.
hans ne kaha, "is dvandv kee shart phir se batao." "choonki kulapati ne is ladake ko jeetane par inaam dene par sahamati jataee hai, isalie sabase achchha hai ki pahale niyam spasht kar die jaen."
paartee mein maujood vayaskon kee nazar mein, mid silvar-gred hathiyaar ka utana mahatv nahin tha. haalaanki, jin bachchon ne abhee tak apanee pahalee yaatra shuroo nahin kee thee, unake lie aisa hathiyaar ek khajaana maana jaata tha jo solatera mein unakee bhavishy kee yaatraon mein unakee madad karega.
terens ghabara gaya kyonki terah par hamala karane kee usakee mool yojana ko alag rakhana pada.
yadi niyam spasht kar die gae hote, phir bhee vah bachche par hamala karata, to log sochate ki vah apane aas-paas ke logon kee buddhimatta ka mazaak uda raha hai.
choonki kulapati maujood the, isalie ab unaka kartavy tha ki ve hans ke prashn ka uttar den aur dvandv kee sthiti bataen.
"agar vah mere shareer par hamala karane mein saphal ho jaata hai ya mujhe apanee jagah se hila deta hai, to vah jeet jaega," terens ne javaab diya. "main bhee us par kisee bhee tarah se hamala nahin karoonga aur apanee raksha ke lie keval apane ek haath ka upayog karoonga."
terah dvandv kaise jeetega, isakee sharten bataane ke baad, nashe mein dhut ladake ne aakhirakaar samajh mein apana sir hilaaya.

terah ne raat ka khaana chhod diya aur subah chaar baje uth gaya.
jaise hee usane apanee aankhen kholeen, usane khud ko ek naram aur bahut aaraamadaayak bistar par leta hua paaya.
vah lagabhag solah ghante tak lagaataar sota raha, aur vah tarotaaja aur sphoorti mahasoos karate hue utha.
phir ladaka apane aap ko sahaara dekar apane bistar ke oopar kros-leg karake baith gaya.
ab jab usaka sir nashe kee dhundh se mukt ho gaya tha, to usane paartee kee yaadon ko yaad karane kee koshish kee taaki yah jaancha ja sake ki kya vah ise ek vastunishth dimaag se dekhane mein saksham tha.
ek pranaalee ke roop mein, terah kee yaadadaasht bedaag thee. yah kahana atishayokti nahin hogee ki usake paas ek eedetik memoree thee, jisaka matalab tha ki vah cheejon ko uchch parishuddhata aur sateekata ke saath yaad kar sakata tha.
usane jo kuchh bhee kiya vah yojanaabaddh tha.
vah aasaanee se terens ke shareer par vaar kar sakata tha aur unaka spaar jeet sakata tha, jisase use vah inaam mil jaata jisaka vaada kiya gaya tha.
haalaanki, usane aisa nahin kiya.
usane kisee cheez ka pareekshan karane ke lie ek zyaada kathor tareeka apanaaya tha, aur usaka tareeka adbhut kaam kar gaya. is vajah se, vah yah anumaan lagaane mein saksham tha ki leventis parivaar mein koee hai jo use rokane ke lie aaega.
tharteen jaanata tha ki aarthar ko koee aapatti nahin hogee, bhale hee usake chaakoo terens ke shareer mein ghus jaen. saubhaagy se, usaka chachera bhaee bach gaya kyonki usake chaacha use rokane ke lie aage aae, jisase paanch varsheey bachche ko apane pita ke parivaar ke baare mein zyaada anukool raay milee.
"mujhe lagata hai ki leventis parivaar mein abhee bhee kuchh achchhe log hain," tharteen ne apane saleekedaar dikhane vaale chaacha ko yaad karate hue kaha, jo usake daada ke daahine haath ke roop mein kaam karate the.
choonki vah pahale se hee jaag chuka tha, tharteen apana bistar chhodakar baalakanee kee or chala gaya.
aas-paas abhee bhee andhera tha, lekin ladake ne is baare mein zyaada nahin socha.
usane apane shareer ko aaraam dene ke lie dheemee aur gaharee saansen lenee shuroo kar deen. phir usane taee chee ke 24 roopon kee shuruaat kee.
har din aisa karane ke baad, ladake ne pahale se hee apane shareer kee lacheelaapan ko majaboot kiya.
usake chehare par gambheer bhaav ke saath pratyek roop ko nishpaadit karate samay usakee harakaten taral theen.
jab vah samaapt ho gaya, to usane shuroo se hee vahee roop doharae.
subah kee thandee hava ke baavajood, usaka shareer garm hone laga tha, aur isase use achchha mahasoos ho raha tha.
jaise hee vah apane roop samaapt karane vaala tha, usane mahasoos kiya ki koee door se use dekh raha hai.
haalaanki, tharteen ne us disha mein nahin dekha. usane bas kuchh saans lene kee takaneeken shuroo keen, jo koee bhee use dekh raha tha, us par dhyaan nahin diya.
kuchh minat baad, usane apanee subah kee dinacharya pooree karate hue ek lambee saans chhodee.
achaanak, vah upasthiti jo use kuchh samay se dekh rahee thee, usake bagal mein dikhaee dee, jisase paanch varsheey bachche ne apanee daeen or dekha.
"gud morning, ankal," tharteen ne kaha aur bade aadamee ko sammaanapoorvak jhukaaya.
"gud morning," maikal ne uttar diya. "kya aapane apana vyaayaam poora kar liya hai?"
tharteen ne sir hilaaya.
"achchha," maikal ne kaha. "ab, mere peechhe aao. main tumhen khajaane mein le jaoonga, taaki tum vah hathiyaar utha sako jisaka mainne tumase vaada kiya tha."
usakee anumati ka intajaar kie bina. maikal ne use chaaval kee boree kee tarah uthaaya, use apane kandhe par utha liya.
ek pal baad, vah baalakanee se gaayab ho gaya, leventis parivaar ke mukhy nivaas kee or badh raha tha.
maikal ke jaane ke aadhe minat baad, hans chhaaya se baahar aaya aur us disha mein dekha jahaan usake yang maastar ko le jaaya gaya tha.
vila ke rakshak ke roop mein jahaan ledee kailista tainaat thee, usane maikal kee upasthiti ko mahasoos kiya tha.
haalaanki, choonki baad vaale ke paas apane bhateeje ke prati koee durbhaavanaapoorn iraada nahin tha, isalie hans ne kuchh bhee nahin karane ka phaisala kiya aur bas sthiti ko dekha.
maikal kee pahachaan milana achchhee baat hai, hans ne socha. lagata hai ki leventis parivaar par ek sthaayee chhaap chhodane kee aapakee yojana kaamayaab rahee, siyyon.
