Markas, Ek vishalkay jahaaz, samundar ke gehre pani ko cheerte hue Bharat ki aur badh raha tha. Samundar par barsat ka tufan chaya hua tha, badal bijliyon ghan ghor garaja rahe the. Pani ki uchhalti lehron ka ek bhayankar nritya jahaz ke ird-gird chalu tha, jisme samudra ki laharen jaise jahaz ko nigalne ke liye talash rahi thi.

Jahaz ke upari star par bada sannata tha, kewal badal ke garjna ki awaz sunai de rahi thi. Upar asman me kale badal chhaye huye the, jo samundar ke pani ko aur bhi bhayankar bana rahe the. Kabhi kabhi bijli chamak pani ki lehron ko ek ajib si chamak de deti thi. Ye jahaz, jo apne bade bade containers me arab desh se saman lekar Bharat ki taraf laut raha tha, apni manzil tak pahunchne ke liye apne aap se hi ladta hua aage badh raha tha.

Aesi bhayanak sthiti me ek ladka, apne hath me torch liye, jahaz pe lage containers ko check kar raha tha. Samundar ki uchhalti lehron ke saath jahaz ka har ek hissa aise hichkole le raha tha jaise koi kagaz ka jahaz pani mein bikhar raha ho. Tufani baris me wo apni zimmedari nibha raha tha, taaki containers surakshit rahe. Agar suraksha ke tar dheele pad gaye to containers samundar mein gir sakte the, aur ye haadsa kisi ko mehenga pad sakta tha.Wo ek-ek container ko dhyan se dekhte hue aage badh raha tha, bijliyon ki chamak aur tufan ki garjana ke beech, jab uski nazar ek container par padti hai. Us container ke lock par kuch ajeeb tha, uske lock ka shield thoda dheela tha, jaise kisi ne jaan bujhkar usse khola ho. Uske dil ki dhadkan ek pal ke liye tez ho gayi.

Thik se dekhne par wo samajh gaya ki is container ko pehle khola gaya hai. Usne apni torch ki roshni ko lock par tikate hue, dheere se pura lock khola. Darwaze ko sambhalte hue uske haath thode se kanp gaye, dil ki dhadkane abhi bhi tez thi. Usne ek gehri saans li aur apne aap ko sambhala. Jaise hi usne container ka darwaza khola, ek garm hawa ka jhonka uske chehre se takraya, jaise container ke andheron se kuch anjaane dar ki aahat aa rahi ho. Usne dheere se andar jhaanka, aur ek pal ke liye uski saansein tham gayi. Container ke mein kuch aesa tha jo use pareshan karne ke liye kaafi tha.

Wo furti se wapis container ko lock karta hai, aur apni saansein sambhalte hue usi tarah shield ko wapas lagane lagta hai, jaise pehle tha. Uske haath abhi bhi thode kanp rahe the, par usne apne aap ko sambhala. Sab kuch wapas purani halat mein lagate hi, wo turant wahan se nikal pada. Uske kadam ab tez aur thode bechain ho gaye the, jaise samundar ki lehron se peechha chhudate huve, Bhagta huva wo jahaz ke dusre kinare ki taraf jaata hai, jahan uska dost us taraf ke container check karne mein vyast tha.

Jab usne apne dost ko dekha, uske chehre par pareshani ki lakeer aur bhi gehri ho gayi. Wo apne dost ke kareeb pahunchta hai aur bina samay gawaaye sab kuch bata deta hai - container, uska dheela shield, aur andheron mein chhupi hui anjaani cheez. Dono ke chehre par ab ek ghumbeer chinta thi. Dost ne ek pal ko socha, phir bina shabdon mein kuch kahe, usne haan mein sir hilaya.

Dono apne apne torch apne haath mein mazbooti se pakad kar, kadam dar kadam captain ke cabin ki taraf badhne lage. Unke kadam jahaz ke maidan par goonj rahe the, aur dono ke dilon mein ek hi sawaal tha - captain ko batane ke baad kya hoga?

Jab wo dono captain ki cabin ki aur badh hi rahe the, tab unka tisra saathi bhi raaste mein mil gaya. Tino bachpan se sath bade hone ke karan, unke beech ek gehri dosti thi. Ladke ne bina samay gawaaye use bhi sab kuch bata diya. Tisre saathi ke chehre par ek pal ke liye chinta ki parchaayi chali, par phir usne bhi haan mein sir hilaya aur bina kuch bole unke sath chal pada.

Abhi kuch hi door chale the ki, achanak ek zor ki dham ki awaz ne use hila kar rakh diya. Usse pehle ki wo samajh pata, uske aankhon ke samne andhera chaane laga. Uski saansein ek pal ke liye thami aur usne apne dosto ki taraf dekhna chaha, par uski aankhon ke samne sab kuch dheere dheere andhere mein doob gaya. Uska sharir jahaaz ke pharsh par girta hua mehsoos hua, aur sab kuch shant ho gaya.

=======================================================================================================================
Blackout
Jaise hi uski aankhein khulti hain, uske samne uska dost aur captain dikhayi dete hain.

Blackout
Wo apne aap ko ek tute-fute jahaz par paata hai, jo tufaan me kabhi bhi samundar ki gehraiyon mein dhakel dega

Blackout
Uske aas-paas ghode ke dodne ki awaz hai, jab uske samne ek Vishal kile ka darwaza dikhay deta hai.
======================================================================================================================

5 Din Baad

Jahaaz, Mumbai ke port apni tak pahuncha. Captain ko stretcher par laaya gaya, aur uske sath ek ladka bhi tha. Port par upasthit security force ko pehle hi is jahaz ke aane ki soochna mil gayi thi. Jaise hi jahaz port ke kinare par ruka, security team ne turant jahaz ki checking shuru kar di.

Agla Din
Breaking News, Breaking News

"The Markas" jahaaz par se 100KG drugs ki taskari pakdi gayi hai. Jahaz ke upar 2 jawan ladkon ki sinast ki gayi hai. Unmein se ek purane personal cruise joki is bade jahaaz ke piche bandha huva tha, usko lekar bhag jane mein safal raha, jabki doosra jahaz par hi captain ke saath ek jhagde mein mara gaya. Bhagane wale ladke ka naam hai.

The Secret Island ke events ke baad.

Vikrant jese hi pani main khich gya, ek anjane se khichav use us bhavar me tezi se andar ki aur leta chala gya. Ab ki bar wo apne pure hosh me tha, use uss taqat ka apne sharir par ek ajib sa dabav mehsus ho rha tha.

Vikrant ko apni aankhon ke samne kuch dikhay de raha tha.

Ek ladki jo pyar se muskura rahi thi.

Black out

Ek ladka jo bandha huva hai, chila rha tha.

Black out

Ek admi aur ek ladka, ladke ke hath me khun se sanna chaku tha.

Black out

Ek aurat pink colour ki saree pehne huve, heran hote dikh rahi thi.

Black out

Ek admi jo gun tane huve khada tha........


Vikrant ki saansein tez hone lagi. Har black out ke saath uska mann aur zyada bhari hone laga. Jaise wo ya to kisi badi sachchai ko dekh raha tha ya koi dard bhari yaadon ko. Aur phir... andhera cha gaya.

Dheere dheere uski aankhein khulne lagi. Une ek ajeeb si thandak mehsoos ki. Jaise ki hawa mein koi sard, chipchipi si chadar uske aas paas lapet gayi ho. Patli si hospital ki kambal ke neeche bhi uska jism thoda kaanp raha tha. Fluorescent lights ki halki si awaaz uske kaanon mein goonj rahi thi, jo door se aa rahi machines ke beeps ke saath mil gayi thi. Room mein ek ajeeb si chemical wali smell thi—bilkul waise jaise alcohol wipes aur bleach ka combination hota hai.

Pehle toh uski aankhen dhundhli si thi, lekin jab usne unhe jhapak kar clear karne ki koshish ki, toh uski nazar seedha ceiling fan par jaakar tik gayi. Fan dheere dheere ghoom raha tha, uski metal ki blades par light pad rahi thi, jo dheemi si chhaya ceiling par daal rahi thi. Us fan ki soft si awaaz bilkul uske sir ke dard ke saath talmel bana rahi thi, jaise dard aur fan ek hi speed mein chal rahe ho. Usne apna sir dabaya.

Kuch palon baad, uski nazar neeche gayi. Bed ke paas ek aadmi khamoshi se khada tha, safed kapde pehne. Wo wahan apne kaam me laga huva tha. Vikrant ki nazar uske badge par gayi, jo uski shirt par neatly pin kiya hua tha—Rahul, waha chhoti si print mein likha tha.

Rahul ne thodi si muskaan ke saath apne hont hilaaye, lekin uski awaaz Vikrant ke kaanon tak jaane mein thoda waqt laga, jaise sab kuch dheere chal raha ho.

Rahul: Aakhir kar tumhe hosh aa hi gaya...

Vikrant ne sirf usse dekha, uski aankhon mein ek bechaini thi, jaise wo apne dimaag ke ander kuch talash kar raha ho. Lekin apne munh se ek shabd bhi nahi nikala. Sirf aankhein thi jo sawaal kar rahi thi.

Rahul: Tum pichle 10 din se behosh pade ho. Kuch machhuaare tumhe samundar se utha ke yahan laaye the. Tumhara haal bahut bura tha.

Vikrant ke liye yeh sab kuch jaise ek sapna tha. Usne is baat ko process karne ki koshish ki. Das din?

Rahul ne ek pal ke liye ruk kar usse dekha, phir bola: Main abhi doctor ko bulaata hoon, wo tumhari condition dekh lega.

Vikrant ab tak kuch nahi bola, sirf apni aankhon se Rahul ki har baat sunta raha, jaise wo sab kuch ek sookhe patte ki tarah hawa ke saath beh raha ho.


Thodi hi der baad, Rahul ek doctor ko le kar aata hai. Badge par unka naam Pritesh likha hua tha.

Pritesh: Hello, mera naam Pritesh hai. Ab kaisa feel kar rahe ho?

Vikrant kuch bolta nahi, sirf doctor ko ghurta raha, jaise apne dimaag ko kahin aur se wapas laane ki koshish kar raha ho.

Pritesh: Hello, hello!

Vikrant ekdam se apne vicharon se jaga.

Vikrant: Hmmm, sorry... Sar mein bahut dard ho raha hai, sir. Jaise koi hathoda pit raha ho.

Doctor ne halke se muskurate hue sir hilaya.

Pritesh: Thik hai, yeh normal hai. Tumhe bahut din baad hosh aaya hai, isliye thoda asar hoga. Main kuch medicines likh dunga. Rahul tumhe khane ke time par de dega.

Vikrant dheere se sir hilata hai.

Vikrant: Thanks, doctor.

Pritesh: Ab tumhe hosh aa gaya hai, to hume police ko inform karna padega.

Ye sunkar Vikrant ka chehra ekdam se badal gaya.

Vikrant: Police? Police ko kyun?

Doctor ne thoda sambhalte hue kaha.

Pritesh: Kuch nahi, sirf formalities ke liye hai. Machhuaare tumhe samundar se utha ke laye the, aur hospital ke rules ke hisaab se pehle police ko inform kiya gaya tha. Bas routine inquiry hogi, kuch zyada nahi.

Vikrant ke dimaag mein ek ajeeb si bechaini thi, lekin wo apni awaaz ko normal rakhne ki koshish kar raha tha.

Vikrant: Routine inquiry... Samajh gaya.

Pritesh: Vese tum wahan pahuche kaise?

Vikrant: Kahan?

Pritesh: Machhuaare keh rahe the ki tumhe unhone karib 40 kilometer dur samundar se uthaya. Aur tumhare aas-paas koi boat nahi thi. Tum wahan kaise pahuche?

Vikrant ki aankhen thodi chauk gayi, usne apna sar halka sa jhuka liya.

Vikrant: Doctor saab, abhi mujhe kuch yaad nahi aa raha. Sab kuch... sab kuch ek dhundla sapna lag raha hai. Mera sar abhi bhi bahut bhari ho raha hai.

Doctor ne samajhdari se sir hilaya, lekin uske chehre par ek halki si shanka thi.

Pritesh: Koi baat nahi. Tum rest karo. Hum police ko bas formality ke liye inform kar rahe hain.

Thoda ruk kar, doctor ne halki muskurahat ke saath kaha,

Pritesh: Vese, tumhara naam kya hai? Maine abhi tak poocha nahi.

Vikrant ne dheere se jawab diya.

Vikrant: Vikrant. Vikrant Solanki.

Doctor ne uska naam dimaag mein register kiya aur kaha,

Pritesh: Thik hai, Vikrant. Main tumhe baad mein milunga. Rahul tumhari medicines le aayega.

Ye kehkar doctor wahan se chala gaya, aur Rahul bhi uske peeche chal pada. Room mein ek ajeeb si khamoshi thi, lekin jab Rahul aur Pritesh corridor mein chal rahe the, tab ek choti si guftagu shuru hui.

Rahul: Sir, aapko kuch gadbad nahi lag rahi?

Pritesh: Kyu?

Rahul: Jab aapne police ka naam liya to uske expressions ekdam se badal gaye the.

Doctor ne ek pal socha, phir bola,

Pritesh: Koi bhi aise halat mein police ka naam sunke thoda dar jayega, Rahul. Yeh unusual nahi hai. Lekin haan, usme kuch ajeeb zaroor tha. Dekhte hain, hume apna kaam to karna hi hai.

Rahul ne aankhon mein halki chinta ke saath kaha,

Rahul: To ab hum kya karein?

Pritesh: Tum ek kaam karo, Inspector Vijay ko inform karo. Unk aane se sab pata chal jayega. Wo aake sab handle karenge.

Rahul ne sir hilaya aur mobile nikaal kar ek number dial karne laga. Aur Vikrant ke baare me inform kar diya.

Karib dedh gante bad, ek naujavaan inspector hospital ke corridor se hota huva chala aa raha tha.

Inspector Vijay, 30 saal ka ek naujavaan police inspector tha. Uska kad achhi height ka tha, lagbhag 6 feet, aur uski fit body uski discipline ka saboot deti thi. Jo cheez sabse zyada dhyaan kheenchti thi wo thi uski badi si, ghani kaali moochhein. Jo uske chehre ko ek raw look deti thi, jaise purane zamane ke Indian police officers ki yaad dilaati thi.

Vijay sidha Dr. Pritesh ke cabin me gaya, apne haathon ko apni kamar par rakhe hue, Dr. Pritesh ne usse milte hi formal greetings ki.

Vijay: Kya scene hai, doctor saab? Kuch unusual?

Pritesh ne halke se sar hilate hue kaha: Abhi tak kuch khaas nahi. Ladka apne senses me nahi hai.

Vijay: Hmm.

Pritesh aur Vijay dono ab Vikrant ke ward ki taraf chal padte hain. Vijay ke shoes ki thak-thak corridor me goonj rahi thi. Jab dono ward ke darwaze ke paas pahuche, Vijay ne Vikrant ko ek nazar dekha.

Vijay: Naam kya hai ladke ka?

Pritesh: Vikrant Solanki.

Vijay: Hmm.

Vijay ne ek pal ke liye aankhen jhukaayi, jaise wo ye naam apne dimaag mein baitha raha ho, phir dono andar chale gaye.

Vikrant bed par baitha huva tha, uske chehre par abhi bhi dard ki lakeeren thi. Usne dheere se Vijay ko dekha, lekin koi baat nahi ki. Vijay ne ek pal ke liye usse observe kiya. Fir usne apne strong awaaz me kaha,

Vikrant: To, Vikrant... kaafi door tak pahuch gaye tum!!!!

Vikrant ne thoda chauk kar uski taraf dekha, uski aankhon me halka sa dar tha, lekin kuch nahi bola. Vijay ne apne haath apni kamar pe rakhe aur ek nazar Pritesh par daali.

Vikrant: Doctor, aap jaa sakte hain. Mujhe isse akele baat karni hai.

Pritesh ne sir hilaya, aur thoda hesitate karte hue waha se nikal gaya, Vijay aur Vikrant ke beech chhodi gayi khamoshi ko aur gehra karte hue.

Vijay ne pass mein rakhi ek chair uthai aur usse Vikrant ke bed ke bilkul kareeb laa kar baith gaya. Ward mein ek ajeeb si khamoshi thi, jo pankhe ki awaaz aur drip ke dheere dheere girte boondo se bhi zyada bhari thi. Vijay ne apne haathon ko apni jaangho pe rakha, uski aankhen Vikrant par thi.

Thodi der tak dono ke beech sirf khamoshi thi. Vijay us khamoshi ko torne ka intezaar kar raha tha, lekin jab Vikrant ne koi pehel nahi ki, to Vijay ne shuruaat ki:

Vijay: Vikrant, tumhara poora naam kya hai?

Vikrant ne dheere se apne hont hilaaye, uska gala sukha hua tha: Ji... Vikrant Solanki.

Vijay ka chehra expressionless raha, lekin uski aankhen dhyaan se Vikrant ke chehre ke har ek gesture ko study kar rahi thi. Usne apne sawaalon ko aage badhaya.

Vijay: Kahan ke rehne waale ho?

Vikrant ne halki awaaz mein jawab diya: Ahmedabad.

Vijay agla sawaal usme aur ghirav lekar aaya.

Vijay: To samundar mein kaise pahuche?

Vikrant ke chehre par ek pal ke liye ajeeb si expression aayi. Jaise koi purani yaadon ka bhoot uske zehan par chhaya ho. Usne apni aankhen neeche kar li.

Vikrant fir se khamosh ho gaya, jaise uske andar kuch baatein dabne lag gayi ho. Vijay samaj ki pressure dalne ka waqt aa gaya tha.

Vijay: Dekho, Vikrant... tumhare chup rehne se kuch nahi hoga.

Uski awaaz thodi aur gehri ho gayi, jaise wo sach nikalne par zor de raha ho.

Vijay: Aaj nahi toh kal, tumhe batana hi padega.

Vikrant ne Vijay ke chehre ko dekha, uski aankhon mein ek pal ke liye dar tha, lekin phir wo apne dard ke samandar mein doob gaya. Uska mann samundar ki gehraaiyon mein kho gaya tha.

Ek lambi khamoshi ke baad, jab Vijay ko laga ki wo phir chup rahega, Vikrant ne apni aankhen uthaayi aur dheere se kaha:

Vikrant (bechaini se): Mujhe yaad nahi... kuch bhi saf nahi hai... par...

Vikrant: Main jo kahunga, us par tumhe yakeen nahi hoga...

Vijay: Baat kya hai?

Vikrant (dheere se, thoda darte hue): Us din... main thoda piya hua tha... aur nashe ki halat mein Sea Link Jetty ki taraf chala gaya.

Vijay (tokte hue, shaaq bhare lehze mein): Wait, wait. Tumne kaha tum Ahmedabad ke ho, toh samundar kahan se aaya?

Vikrant (halki si ghabrahat ke saath): Ji, mera janm aur badi Ahmedabad mein hui thi, par job ke liye main Mumbai shift ho gaya tha.

Vijay (relaxed, lekin curious): Hmm, theek hai. Aage batao.

Vikrant (haath thoda hilate hue): Nashe mein tha, aur dekha ki ek private boat waha khadi thi. Shayad us waqt waha koi nahi tha. Main ussi boat pe chadh gaya, aur deck par let gaya. Jab aankhein khuli toh boat chal rahi thi...

Vijay (aankhein teekha karte hue): Fir kya hua?

Vikrant (halke se kanpate hue): Hosh aaya toh samajh mein aaya ki galti se kisi ki private boat pe aa gaya hoon... chup chap waha dekhta raha... lekin raat ka waqt tha, boat ke peeche andhera tha, aur roshni bhi kaafi kam thi.

Vikrant (ruki hui saans ke saath): Main dheere dheere boat ke piche gaya... waha 4-5 log khade the, sabke haath mein bags the. Ek aadmi ne bag khola, aur usme se white powder ke packets nikaale. Main thoda powder haath mein liya, aur sungha...

Vikrant (halke se ghabrate hue): Tabhi samajh gaya ki yeh kuch galat ho raha hai... lekin jaise hi peeche muda, kisi ne mujhe zor se piche se maara.

Vijay (aankhein thoda tez karte hue): Aur phir jab tumne aankhein kholi?

Vikrant (aankhein band karte hue, dheere se): Tab khud ko hospital mein paaya...

Vijay (sarcasm se): Yeh sab tumne pehle kyun nahi bataya?

Vikrant (ghabrahat ke saath, aankhon mein dar): Sir... yeh drugs trafficking ka case tha. Mera darr yeh tha ki agar main kuch bolta toh log mujhpar hi shak karte. Isliye chup raha.

Vijay (shaak se, aankhon mein curiosity): Tumhe yaad hai kaun log the? Chehre yaad hain?

Vikrant (nervousness ke saath): Nahi, sir... raat thi, aur main nashe mein bhi tha. Jab se hosh aaya hai, tab se sir mein bohot dard ho raha hai... sab kuch dhundhla yaad hai. Chehre toh bas dhundhle se dikh rahe hain.

Vijay (sochne ke andaaz mein, softer tone): Koi baat nahi. Jab tum theek ho jao, toh mujhse zarur contact karna. Ye lo mera card, ispe mere contact details hain.

Vikrant (dheere se card lete hue): Ji, sir...

Vijay khada hota hai, apne haath kamar par rakhta hai, aur dheere dheere darwaze ki taraf chal padta hai. Darwaza kholte waqt wo rukta hai, peeche mur kar, ek shaak bhari muskaan ke saath puchhta hai:

Vijay (slightly smiling): Waise... us raat ka date kya tha?

Vikrant (thoda sochkar, confusion mein): 4 September... 2009.

Vijay (halki si hasi ke saath): Mujhe lagta hai tum abhi bhi nashe mein ho... 2009 nahi, 2024 hai.

Vikrant ki aankhein thodi aur badi ho gayi. Uske dimag mein ek tufaan chala gaya, Vijay ke shabdon ko samajhne ki koshish karta raha. 2024? Kaise?

Jo cheez sabse zyada dhyaan kheenchti thi wo thi uski badi si, ghani kaali moochhein. Jo uske chehre ko ek raw look deti thi, jaise purane zamane ke Indian police officers ki yaad dilaati thi.

Vijay sidha Dr. Pritesh ke cabin me gaya, apne haathon ko apni kamar par rakhe hue, Dr. Pritesh ne usse milte hi formal greetings ki.

Vijay: Kya scene hai, doctor saab? Kuch unusual?

Pritesh ne halke se sar hilate hue kaha: Abhi tak kuch khaas nahi. Ladka apne senses me nahi hai.

Vijay: Hmm.

Pritesh aur Vijay dono ab Vikrant ke ward ki taraf chal padte hain. Vijay ke shoes ki thak-thak corridor me goonj rahi thi. Jab dono ward ke darwaze ke paas pahuche, Vijay ne Vikrant ko ek nazar dekha.

Vijay: Naam kya hai ladke ka?

Pritesh: Vikrant Solanki.

Vijay: Hmm.

Vijay ne ek pal ke liye aankhen jhukaayi, jaise wo ye naam apne dimaag mein baitha raha ho, phir dono andar chale gaye.

Vikrant bed par baitha huva tha, uske chehre par abhi bhi dard ki lakeeren thi. Usne dheere se Vijay ko dekha, lekin koi baat nahi ki. Vijay ne ek pal ke liye usse observe kiya. Fir usne apne strong awaaz me kaha,

Vikrant: To, Vikrant... kaafi door tak pahuch gaye tum!!!!

Vikrant ne thoda chauk kar uski taraf dekha, uski aankhon me halka sa dar tha, lekin kuch nahi bola. Vijay ne apne haath apni kamar pe rakhe aur ek nazar Pritesh par daali.

Vikrant: Doctor, aap jaa sakte hain. Mujhe isse akele baat karni hai.

Pritesh ne sir hilaya, aur thoda hesitate karte hue waha se nikal gaya, Vijay aur Vikrant ke beech chhodi gayi khamoshi ko aur gehra karte hue.

Vijay ne pass mein rakhi ek chair uthai aur usse Vikrant ke bed ke bilkul kareeb laa kar baith gaya. Ward mein ek ajeeb si khamoshi thi, jo pankhe ki awaaz aur drip ke dheere dheere girte boondo se bhi zyada bhari thi. Vijay ne apne haathon ko apni jaangho pe rakha, uski aankhen Vikrant par thi.

Thodi der tak dono ke beech sirf khamoshi thi. Vijay us khamoshi ko torne ka intezaar kar raha tha, lekin jab Vikrant ne koi pehel nahi ki, to Vijay ne shuruaat ki:

Vijay: Vikrant, tumhara poora naam kya hai?

Vikrant ne dheere se apne hont hilaaye, uska gala sukha hua tha: Ji... Vikrant Solanki.

Vijay ka chehra expressionless raha, lekin uski aankhen dhyaan se Vikrant ke chehre ke har ek gesture ko study kar rahi thi. Usne apne sawaalon ko aage badhaya.

Vijay: Kahan ke rehne waale ho?

Vikrant ne halki awaaz mein jawab diya: Ahmedabad.

Vijay agla sawaal usme aur ghirav lekar aaya.

Vijay: To samundar mein kaise pahuche?

Vikrant ke chehre par ek pal ke liye ajeeb si expression aayi. Jaise koi purani yaadon ka bhoot uske zehan par chhaya ho. Usne apni aankhen neeche kar li.

Vikrant fir se khamosh ho gaya, jaise uske andar kuch baatein dabne lag gayi ho. Vijay samaj ki pressure dalne ka waqt aa gaya tha.

Vijay: Dekho, Vikrant... tumhare chup rehne se kuch nahi hoga.

Uski awaaz thodi aur gehri ho gayi, jaise wo sach nikalne par zor de raha ho.

Vijay: Aaj nahi toh kal, tumhe batana hi padega.

Vikrant ne Vijay ke chehre ko dekha, uski aankhon mein ek pal ke liye dar tha, lekin phir wo apne dard ke samandar mein doob gaya. Uska mann samundar ki gehraaiyon mein kho gaya tha.

Ek lambi khamoshi ke baad, jab Vijay ko laga ki wo phir chup rahega, Vikrant ne apni aankhen uthaayi aur dheere se kaha:

Vikrant (bechaini se): Mujhe yaad nahi... kuch bhi saf nahi hai... par...

Vikrant: Main jo kahunga, us par tumhe yakeen nahi hoga...

Vijay: Baat kya hai?

Vikrant (dheere se, thoda darte hue): Us din... main thoda piya hua tha... aur nashe ki halat mein Sea Link Jetty ki taraf chala gaya.

Vijay (tokte hue, shaaq bhare lehze mein): Wait, wait. Tumne kaha tum Ahmedabad ke ho, toh samundar kahan se aaya?

Vikrant (halki si ghabrahat ke saath): Ji, mera janm aur badi Ahmedabad mein hui thi, par job ke liye main Mumbai shift ho gaya tha.

Vijay (relaxed, lekin curious): Hmm, theek hai. Aage batao.

Vikrant (haath thoda hilate hue): Nashe mein tha, aur dekha ki ek private boat waha khadi thi. Shayad us waqt waha koi nahi tha. Main ussi boat pe chadh gaya, aur deck par let gaya. Jab aankhein khuli toh boat chal rahi thi...

Vijay (aankhein teekha karte hue): Fir kya hua?

Vikrant (halke se kanpate hue): Hosh aaya toh samajh mein aaya ki galti se kisi ki private boat pe aa gaya hoon... chup chap waha dekhta raha... lekin raat ka waqt tha, boat ke peeche andhera tha, aur roshni bhi kaafi kam thi.

Vikrant (ruki hui saans ke saath): Main dheere dheere boat ke piche gaya... waha 4-5 log khade the, sabke haath mein bags the. Ek aadmi ne bag khola, aur usme se white powder ke packets nikaale. Main thoda powder haath mein liya, aur sungha...

Vikrant (halke se ghabrate hue): Tabhi samajh gaya ki yeh kuch galat ho raha hai... lekin jaise hi peeche muda, kisi ne mujhe zor se piche se maara.

Vijay (aankhein thoda tez karte hue): Aur phir jab tumne aankhein kholi?

Vikrant (aankhein band karte hue, dheere se): Tab khud ko hospital mein paaya...

Vijay (sarcasm se): Yeh sab tumne pehle kyun nahi bataya?

Vikrant (ghabrahat ke saath, aankhon mein dar): Sir... yeh drugs trafficking ka case tha. Mera darr yeh tha ki agar main kuch bolta toh log mujhpar hi shak karte. Isliye chup raha.

Vijay (shaak se, aankhon mein curiosity): Tumhe yaad hai kaun log the? Chehre yaad hain?

Vikrant (nervousness ke saath): Nahi, sir... raat thi, aur main nashe mein bhi tha. Jab se hosh aaya hai, tab se sir mein bohot dard ho raha hai... sab kuch dhundhla yaad hai. Chehre toh bas dhundhle se dikh rahe hain.

Vijay (sochne ke andaaz mein, softer tone): Koi baat nahi. Jab tum theek ho jao, toh mujhse zarur contact karna. Ye lo mera card, ispe mere contact details hain.

Vikrant (dheere se card lete hue): Ji, sir...

Vijay khada hota hai, apne haath kamar par rakhta hai, aur dheere dheere darwaze ki taraf chal padta hai. Darwaza kholte waqt wo rukta hai, peeche mur kar, ek shaak bhari muskaan ke saath puchhta hai:

Vijay (slightly smiling): Waise... us raat ka date kya tha?

Vikrant (thoda sochkar, confusion mein): 4 September... 2009.

Vijay (halki si hasi ke saath): Mujhe lagta hai tum abhi bhi nashe mein ho... 2009 nahi, 2024 hai.

Vikrant ki aankhein thodi aur badi ho gayi. Uske dimag mein ek tufaan chala gaya, Vijay ke shabdon ko samajhne ki koshish karta raha. 2024? Kaise?

Vikrant ko hosh aa gaya aakhir lekin woh aisa kyon bol raha 2009 h
Daru ke nashe me bhai kisi private boat me chadh gaye or kuch aisa dekh lia Jo nahi dekhna chahiye tha
Baherhal dekhte h aage kia hota h
