Fantasy THE USELESS

[Iron Man]

UPDATE 8

Dev, ICU ke ek kone mein khada, apne samne khade logon ko ghoor raha tha—Ananya uski chhoti behen,and Priya, aur Ayush. In logon ke chehron par shock aur emotional bechaini ka mila jula rang tha. Dev ke haathon par gundo ka khoon abhi tak sookha nahi tha, aur uske kapde jangli mitti aur khoon se bhar chuke the.​

Ananya ka dil dard se bhar gaya tha, lekin uski aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chamak thi. "Bhai..." Uski awaaz halki thi, lekin usme jitni bechaini thi, utni hi khushi bhi thi. Priya aur Ayush uske paas khade the, magar unhe bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha ki Dev sach mein unke samne khada hai ya koi sapna dekh rahe hain.

Ananya ne kuch seconds ke liye Dev ke chehre ko dekha, phir ek kadam aage badhkar kaha, "Hum sabko laga tha ki tum... tum humein chhod ke chale gaye ho, par yeh sab jhoot tha, na? Waha mom-dad sab pareshan the, fir unhone kaha tha ki tum kho gaye ho."

Dev ke chehre par ek thandi aur sukoon bhari muskaan thi, lekin uski aankhon mein uske andar ke tufan ka dard chhupa nahi paa raha tha. "Main kahan jaata, Ananya? Main tumhare liye hi zinda hoon. Yeh duniya chhodne ki himmat mere andar kabhi nahi thi."

Priya ne beech mein baat kaat di, "Tumhare saath yeh sab kisne kiya? Aur kyu kiya?"

Dev ne apne haath se machine ki ek drip uthayi aur uska khoon mitti ke saath mix hote hue dekha. Uski awaaz thandi thi, lekin usme ek ajeeb si garmi thi. "Jis ghar ko maine apna samjha, jis family ke liye maine apni jaan tak dene ko socha tha, wahi log mere maut ka kaaran bane. Unhone mujhe maara, aur jungle mein dafnaya. Lekin unhone ek baat nahi samjhi—main sirf mitti mein daba hoon, mit nahi sakta. Unhone socha tha ki yeh kahani yahin khatam ho gayi, lekin kahani toh ab shuru hoti hai. Yeh achha hua ki yeh waha aaye aur mujhe gaadi se nikaal ke yahan laaye."

Ananya ka gussa uske chehre par saaf dikh raha tha. Uski aankhon mein aansuon ke saath ek aag thi, jo uske bhai Dev ke dard ko sunne ke baad aur bhadak gayi thi. Usne ek kadam aage badhkar gusse se kaha, "Bhai, aap yeh kya keh rahe ho? Kya dad, chacha, didi... sabne milke aapko maarne ki koshish ki? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Woh toh humari family hain!"

Dev ne ek thandi saans li aur apne haath ko dheere se ghoorte hue kaha, "Ananya, sach wahi hota hai jo hum dekhte hain, lekin kabhi kabhi sach samajhne ke liye apni aankhon ke saath apna dimaag aur dil bhi lagana padta hai. Unhone mujhe dhokha diya, mujhe peeth ke peeche se maara aur jungle mein dafnaya. Unhone mujhe apne raaste ka kaanta samjha aur nikaal diya."

Ananya ki saans tez ho gayi thi. Usne apne haath ghutne par rakh liye, jaise woh apne gusse ko sambhalne ki koshish kar rahi ho. "Mujhe yaqeen nahi ho raha, bhai! Dad ne, jo mujhe har din kehte the ki family sabse badi hoti hai... Chacha ne, jo hamesha mujhe samjhate the ki insaan ko apni family ke liye kuch bhi karna chahiye... aur Sakshi didi, unhone aapke saath aisa kaise kiya?"

Dev ka chehra abhi bhi thanda tha, lekin uski aankhon mein uske andar ke toofan ka pata de rahi thi. "Ananya, sach kabhi kabhi itna kadwa hota hai ki usse samajhne ke liye himmat chahiye. Tumhare saamne unhone jo mask lagaya tha, woh ek dhoka tha. Unhone socha ki main unke kisi kaam ka nahi tha, isliye mujhe hamesha ke liye khatam kar diya. Lekin unhone yeh nahi socha tha ki Dev mar kar bhi zinda ho sakta hai."

Ananya abhi bhi apne gusse ko sambhal nahi paayi thi. Usne zor se kaha, "Nahi, mujhe dad, chacha aur didi se baat karni hogi! Mujhe sach unhi ke mooh se sunna hoga, aakhir itna kya nafrat hai aap se aur itna paisa hai toh kya karenge, paisa kon se kuwe mein daalenge!"

Dev ne Ananya ke gaal ko pakad kar, pyaar bhari nazar se dekha aur bola, "Nahi, Anu... meri laado, aisa mat sochna. Main mar chuka hoon, par sirf duniya ke liye. Tumhare liye main wahi bhai hoon jo tumhari khushi ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hai. Tumhe yahi ghar sambhalna hoga, yahin rehna hoga. Yehi tumhari jagah hai aur tum dono, Priya aur Ayush, kisi ko pata na lage ki humse milne Ananya yahan aayi thi, samjhi?"

Dono ne haan mein sir hila diya.

Ananya ne gusse aur dard bhari awaaz mein kaha, "Bhai, kaise rahoon uss ghar mein jahan un logon ne aapko maar diya? Jahan ek pal bhi guzarna meri saansien rokh deta hai?"

Dev ne uski aankhon mein dekha aur ek gahri saans lekar bola, "Meri laado, tumhe meri kasam hai. Tumhe wahi rehna hoga. Main toh apna haq kho chuka hoon, tum yeh mat karna."

Ananya ke aankhon mein aansu the, lekin usne dheere se kaha, "Bhai, un logon ke saath kaise reh sakti hoon jinhone aapka khoon kiya? Unka samna kaise karungi?"

Dev ne ek halki muskaan ke saath kaha, "Tum unka samna tabhi kar paogi jab tum strong banogi. Unhe darane ka sirf ek hi tarika hai—apne dukh aur gusse ko apni taqat banao. Main hamesha tumhare saath hoon, chahe tum mujhe dekho ya na dekho. Tumhe darna nahi hai, laado. Tumhe apne bhai ka naam roshan karna hai. Main useless raha, par tum woh galati mat karna."

Ananya ab chup thi, uski aankhon mein ek nayi roshni thi. Usne apne bhai ka haath pakad kar kaha, "Aapne jo kaha, bhai, main karungi. Lekin ek baat ka wada kijiye—agar kabhi mujhe zarurat ho, toh aap wapas aayenge."

Dev ne Ananya ke gaal pe apna haath rakha, uski aankhon mein ghoorta hua, ek halka sa muskaan ke saath bola, "Main teri shadow ki tarah tere saath hoon, Anu. Chahe tu mujhe dekhe ya na dekhe, main hamesha tere aas paas rahunga. Kabhi na kabhi tere dil mein yeh khayal aaya hoga ki main kisi kaam ka nahi hoon, hai na?"

Ananya ne kuch kehne ke liye apna muh khola, par Dev ne uske bolne se pehle hi uske haath ko pakad kar kaha, "Ruk, meri baat sun. Yeh baat toh main khud jaanta hoon ki logon ke liye main bas ek 'useless' hoon. Par yeh samajh le, main kisi kaam ka hoon ya na hoon, apni family ke liye hamesha kuch karne ki sochi hai maine. Shayad meri galti yeh thi ki maine jo bhi socha, usse karne mein zyada waqt lag gaya aur woh nahi kar paya jo family ko chahiye tha. Par tu thi, jisme ne mera saath diya. Hamesha. Ab se tu hi meri family hai."

Uski baat mein ek dard tha, jo Ananya ke dil tak pahuch raha tha. Ananya ke aankhon mein aansu aa gaye. Usne gusse aur dard ke mix mein kaha, "Bhai, aapko kabhi kisi ne samjha hi nahi. Par main jaanti hoon ki aap mere liye kya ho. Aap 'useless' nahi ho, aap mere sab kuch ho."

Ananya ne uske haath ko zor se pakad liya, jaise woh duniya ko yeh batana chahti ho ki uska bhai uske liye duniya ka sabse zaruri insaan hai.

Dev aur Ananya baatein kar rahe the, tabhi hospital ki main darwaje par ek aadmi aata hai. Dev ne aankhon se pehchana—Viper. Viper ne aane ke baad ek gehri nazar Dev par daali aur phir pyaar bhare shabdon mein kaha, "Dev, tu thik toh hai na?"

Dev ne apna sar utha kar thoda sa muskurate hue kaha, "Haan, sab theek hai. Viper, tumne nahi bachaya hota toh wahi dafan rehata."

Viper ne thoda muskurate hue jawab diya, "Aur badla tumne mujhe is gang se bachake kar diya."

Jaise hi Dev aur Ananya baatein kar rahe the, achanak hospital ke main darwaze se kuch armed army officers dikhayi diye. Unka chehra shkat tha, aur unhone turant apni rifles ko apne haathon mein sambhal liya. Dev ki nazar un par gayi, aur usne apni aankhon se unka mool uddeshya samajh liya.

Ek officer aage badhkar bola, "Dev, humein tumse kuch zaruri baatein karni hain." Uske chehre par thoda ghamand tha, lekin usne apni aankhon mein ek gehra raaz chhupa kar, apne chehre par ek thodi si muskaan ke saath bola, "Dev, humein tumse kuch zaruri baatein karni hain. Tumhare pass kuch nahi, humari baat sunna tumhare liye behtar hoga. Agar tum nahi hote, toh shayad ab tak hum yahan sabko maarne ka operation kar chuke hote. Tumhare hone se kuch ruk gaya hai."

Dev ne apni aankhon mein thoda gussa aur thodi si taqat dikhayi. Usne apni body ko thoda aur straight kiya, aur bola, "Toh tum keh rahe ho ki tumhare paas koi faisla tha, aur main tumhein rok raha hoon? Agar tumhe kisi ko maarna tha, toh tumhara kaam pehle karna chahiye tha. Main yahan kyun hoon, woh mujhe samajh nahi aata."

Jaise hi Dev ne apne jazbaat dikhaye, ek aur officer jo un sabka chief lag raha tha, aage aaya. Uska chehra aur bhi zyada shaktishali tha, aur uske aankhon mein ek ghamand tha. Usne apne haath mein jo file thi, usse zor se ghumaate hue, apne sabhi officers ko ek nishchit ishaara diya.

Chief ne apne gusse ko dabaate hue, Dev se kaha, "Tum sirf ek galati ka natija ho, Dev. Tumhein lagta hai ki tumhare decisions ke wajah se hum kuch nahi kar sakte, lekin tum bhool rahe ho ki tumhara hona sirf ek galat faisla tha. Tumne jo kuch bhi kiya hai, uska bhugatna humein aur duniya ko padega. Tumhare saath yeh jo khel ho raha hai, uska anjaam bohot kathin hoga."

Dev ne apni aankhon mein thoda aur gussa bharte hue, uske chehre par muskaan laakar jawab diya, "Agar tum samajhte ho ki main tumhare khel ka hissa hoon, toh tum galat ho. Main apni zindagi ka faisla khud karta hoon. Tum jo keh rahe ho, uska matlab mujhe samajh aata hai, lekin main kisi bhi haad tak jaa sakta hoon apni taqat dikhane ke liye."

Chief ne thodi der ke liye chup rehkar Dev ko ghoorte hue, apni muskaan ko aur zyada gehra kar diya. Phir, apni awaaz mein ek khaufnaak tezi lete hue bola, "Yeh jo taakat ki baat tum kar rahe ho na, Dev, yeh kahaan se mili hai tumhe, pata hai?"

Dev aur baaki officers yeh sunke shock ho gaye. Unhone apne chehre par hairani aur curiosity ki chhap dekhi. Dev ka chehra bhi thoda badal gaya tha. Usne apni aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chavi dekhi, jo ab tak usne nahi mehsoos ki thi. "Tumne kaha... 'taakat'?" Dev ne apni awaaz ko zyada gahra karte hue poocha.

Chief ki muskaan ab aur bhi khaufnaak ho gayi thi. "Haan, Dev. Tumhara jo yeh attitude aur yeh taqat hai, yeh sirf kisi aur se aayi hai. Tum samajh rahe ho na ki main kya keh raha hoon?" Chief ka har lafz ab zara zyada thund tha, jaise har shabd Dev ke dimaag mein ek nayi uljhan daal raha ho.

Dev ne apne haath ko dekha, apni unglion ke paas, jahan ek chhoti si chot thi, lekin woh ab waha nahi thi jahan honi chahiye thi. Uska chehra ek pal ke liye thoda badal gaya, jaise usse samajh nahi aa raha ho ki uske saath kya ho raha hai. Usne apne haath ko dheere se chhua aur mann mein ek ajeeb sa darr mehsoos kiya.

Dev ne apni awaaz ko aur gehra karte hue kaha, "Sir, jo aap kehna chahte hain, khul ke kahiye. Yeh adhoori baatein mujhe aur confuse kar rahi hain. Aur rahi baat mere hone ki, toh main jo hoon wahi hoon. Agar meri jaan bhi jaaye, toh kya fark padega?"

Chief ne Dev ke jazbaat aur uski uljhan ko samajhte hue apni file bandh ki aur usse table par rakha. Usne ek gehri saans li aur kaha, "Dev, tum jo ab dekh rahe ho, woh ek insaan ki taqat se zyada hai. Tumhare saath kuch aisa hua hai jo is duniya ke samajh se pare hai."

Dev ki aankhon mein curiosity aur zyada badh gayi. Usne thoda aage badhte hue poocha, "Aur yeh sab kyu ho raha hai? Yeh taqat jo aap keh rahe hain, yeh mujhe kahan se mili? Aur aap log mujhe is tarah kyun dekh rahe hain jaise main koi alag prani hoon?"

Chief ne dheere se muskaan laakar kaha, "Tum alag ho, Dev. Tumhare andar jo ho raha hai, woh ek galti ka natija hai. Tum ek experiment ka hissa ho, ek aisa experiment jo kabhi hona hi nahi chahiye tha. Aur woh experiment tumhe ek aam insaan se kuch aur banata ja raha hai."

Dev ne shock mein kaha, "Experiment? Main? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Main toh bas ek normal insaan hoon!"

Chief ne apne shabdon ko aur zyada ghera banate hue bola, "Tum samajh rahe ho, Dev. Tumhare haath mein jo badlav ho raha hai, woh ek signal hai. Tumhare andar ek shakti jag chuki hai, jo insano ke liye nahi hai. Tumhari jaan ab sirf tumhari nahi hai, balki woh duniya ke liye ek khatra bhi ho sakti hai."

Dev ne apni unglion ko dobara dekha, jaise woh kuch samajhne ki koshish kar raha ho. Uska dimaag ek ajeeb si uljhan mein fas gaya tha, aur uske chehre par ek mix reaction tha—gussa, shock, aur dar.

"Sir," Dev ne ek gehri saans lete hue kaha, "Aap mujhe yeh samjhaye ki yeh sab kaise huaa

Chief ne ek gehri saans li aur apni kursi se uthte hue kaha, "Dev, tumhare saath jo hua hai, woh ek kahaani hai jo sirf files aur laboratory tak seemit thi. Par ab woh haqeeqat ban chuki hai, ek aisi haqeeqat jo duniya ke liye samajhna mushkil hoga. Main tumhe sab kuch bataunga."

Chief ne ek file uthai, jisme kuch purane documents aur tasveerein thi. Usne ek tasveer Dev ke saamne rakhi, jo ek bade laboratory setup ki thi. Tasveer mein log white lab coats pehne hue the, aur beech mein ek glass chamber dikh raha tha, jisme ek insaan pada tha. Tasveer dekhte hi Dev ka chehra safed pad gaya.

"Yeh... yeh kya hai?" Dev ne shock mein kaha.

Chief ne dheere se bola, "Yeh tumhara shuruat ka safar hai, Dev. Tum ek aam insaan nahi ho. Tum ek experiment ka natija ho, aur yeh experiment ek galti thi jo kabhi hone hi nahi chahiye thi."

Ananya (gusse aur hairani ke saath): "What? Mere bhaiya aur experimental? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Sir, aap mujhe samjhaiye! Yeh sab kaise hua? Mera bhai ek experiment ka hissa nahi ho sakta!"

Chief (gambhir aur narmi bhari awaaz mein): "Beta, shaant ho jao. Tumhare bhai Dev us experiment mein directly shamil nahi the. Lekin... us experiment ka connection tumhari family se hai."

Ananya (aur zyada hairani aur tension ke saath): "Meri family? Matlab kaise? Hum log ek aam family hain! Aap kya kehna chahte hain ki mere parivaar ki wajah se woh experiment hua? Yeh baat samajh mein nahi aa rahi!"

FLASHBACK
DEV KE MURDER KI RAAT ​

Jungle ke gehraiyon mein, ek aur bhayankar cheez ho rahi thi. Army ke soldiers apne kaam mein lage hue the, lekin unka chehra bata raha tha ki woh jo kar rahe the, woh bilkul normal nahi tha. Har ek soldier ne apni aankhon mein ek ajeeb sa darr aur confusion mehsoos kiya tha.

Jungle ke ek isolated hisse mein, ek soldier ne haath mein ek hazardous substance ka container uthaya, aur apne colleagues ko dekhte hue usko sambhal kar daal raha tha. Samagri ka kaam khatam hone ko tha, lekin uske mann mein kuch sawal the.​

Tabhi ek junior officer, jo thoda sa nerve-wracking situation mein tha, ne apne senior officer se kaha, "Sir, humein yeh sab iss jungle mein nahi karna chahiye. Yaha log aas-paas ho sakte hain, aur agar yeh baat unhe pata chal gayi, toh... humari poori team ko mushkil ho sakti hai."

Uske shabdon ne kuch der ke liye ek shanti ka mahaul banaya. Sabhi soldiers thoda ruke, aur har koi apne apne kaam ko rok kar us junior officer ki baat sunne laga. Ek lamha laga ki senior officer is baat par kuch jawab dega.​

Lekin, senior officer ne apne gas mask ko dheere se utar kar, apni aankhon mein gussa aur tension ka mixture dikhate hue usko daant diya. "Tum samajh nahi rahe ho, tumhe apne kaam pe dhyan dena chahiye. Agar hum yeh kaam yaha nahi karenge, toh tumhare ghar tak yeh cheez pahuch jayegi aur tumhe pata bhi nahi chalega. Tumhaari fikr humare liye second priority hai. Yaha sirf ek kaam hai—survival. Aur yeh hum jo kar rahe hain, woh humari zindagi ke liye zaroori hai aur mere seniors ne batata hai yeh sab biodegradable items and cheeze hai ."

Junior officer ne chup ho kar apna sir neeche kar diya, aur sabhi soldiers ne apne apne kaam mein wapas se lagna shuru kar diya. Senior officer ki baat mein jo gussa tha, woh sab par bhari pad gaya. Koi bhi ab kisi sawal ka jawab nahi chahta tha.

Jab samagri ko dispose kiya jaa raha tha, ek soldier ne apne haath se ek aur container bhar diya, aur sabhi ko ek instruction diya, "Yeh kaam khatam karo, aur kisi bhi cheez ki tasveer mat lena. Koi bhi record nahi chahiye. Sab kuch jaise hua, waise rahne do."

Sare soldiers ne sirf nod kiya, aur phir se woh gas mask ke saath apna kaam shuru kar diya. Dheere dheere, yeh puri kahani ab kisi aise raaz ki taraf badh rahi thi jo kabhi samajh mein nahi aane wala tha. Aur woh junior officer apni baat par chhup gaya tha, kyunki usne samajh liya tha ki kabhi kabhi, kisi kaam ke liye kuch cheezein zaroori hoti hain jo aap samajh nahi paate.

Jungle ke gehre kone mein, soldiers apna kaam khatam kar chuke the. Hazardous substances ko niptane ka kaam puri tarah se complete ho chuka tha. Ab sirf ek ajeeb si khamoshi thi jo unke aas-paas ke mahaul mein chha gayi thi. ​

Soldiers ek line mein khade the, apne equipment ko pack karte hue, aur kuch apne gas mask utar kar gehri saansein le rahe the.​

Tabhi, dur se ek ajeeb si awaaz unke kaan mein padhi—pehle dheemi, lekin dheere-dheere woh awaaz tez hone lagi. Ek gaadi ke engine ki gungunahat jungle ki khamoshi ko tod rahi thi. Ek soldier ne turant alert hote hue apne senior ko dekha aur bola, “Sir, koi gaadi yaha ki taraf aa rahi hai.”​

Sabhi ke chehre par ek sa tension waapas laut aaya. Senior officer ne haath utha kar sabko sanket diya ki chup raho aur apni jagah bane raho. Saare soldiers apne haath apne hathiyaar par rakhe, jungle ke andhere mein chupne ki tayyari karte hue. Gaadi ki awaaz ab aur tez hone lagi thi, jaise woh unke bilkul kareeb aa rahi ho. Har ek soldier ke dil ki dhadkan ab badh chuki thi.

Senior officer ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha, “Koi roshni nahi, koi harkat nahi. Pehle dekho yeh log kaun hain.” Sabhi soldiers ab us gaadi ke kareeb aane ka intezar kar rahe the, aur jungle ka mahaul aur bhi daravani aur chintajnak ho chuka tha.

Gaadi ki awaaz ab kareeb aane lagi thi, aur phir headlights ki roshni dense jungle ke pedon ke beech se chamakne lagi. Soldiers apni jagah par chup-chaap khade the, weapons haath mein thaame, har ek moment ko gaur se dekh rahe the. Tabhi ek purani car gaadi unke nazar ke saamne aakar ruki. Gaadi ka engine band hua, aur kuch lamhon ke liye waha sirf ek bhari khamoshi chha gayi.​

Phir, car ka darwaza dheere se khula, aur usme se teen log bahar nikle—ek aadmi, ek ladka, aur ek ladki. Teeno ke chehre par ek ajeeb si khamoshi aur bechaini thi. Soldiers unhe dekh rahe the, lekin unhone apni jagah se hilne ki koshish nahi ki. Aadmi ne gaadi ke pichle hisse ka darwaza khola aur andar se ek lash ko kheench kar bahar laane laga. Lash ek kapde me lapeti gayi thi, lekin uska ek haath dheere se bahar latak raha tha.

Ladka aur ladki ne milkar lash ko uthaya aur jungle ke ek kone mein le jaakar bina kuch bole usse wahi dump kar diya. Unhone lash ko theek se settle karte hue ek baar bhi aapas mein koi baat nahi ki, jaise unhe pata ho ki jo ho raha hai, woh kisi bhi tarah sawaal uthana nahi chahta. Aadmi ne ek baar lash ke upar ghoor kar dekha, aur phir bina kuch kahe wapas gaadi ki taraf mud gaya.​

Army ke soldiers ye sab chup-chaap dekh rahe the. Unhone ek doosre ki taraf dekha, lekin kisi ne bhi kuch bolne ki himmat nahi ki. Senior officer ne apne haath se signal diya, aur saare soldiers apni jagah se dheere-dheere nikal kar waha se chale gaye. Jungle ki ghani andhere mein ab sirf woh lash aur us gaadi ki halka sa gungunahat bachi thi, jo dheere-dheere jungle ki ghani gehraiyon mein gum ho gaya​

Shaandar jabardast Romanchak Update

 

[Sweetkaran]

UPDATE 1

Ek bara drawing room. Rishtedaar, cousins, aur family ke saare members ek jagah baithe hain. Dev ko sabke beech mein khada kar diya gaya hai, jaise uska court-martial chal raha ho. Uska sir sharam aur bezar se jhuka hua hai, aur har taraf se awaazein uske dil ko chhalkane wali hain.

Badi Behen (tez awaaz mein): "Main toh sochti hoon isko ghar se nikaal do. Har koi apne bache pe fakr karta hai, lekin ispe? Mujhe toh log seedha muh bhi nahi lagate. Pata hai, kal Mrs. Sharma kya bol rahi thi? 'Tumhare bhai ke kaam-dhanday ka kya haal hai?' Kya bolti main? Yeh toh apne ghar ka naam mitti mein mila chuka hai!"

Chhota Cousin Bhai (hassi udate hue): "Didi, iska kya haal hoga? Yeh toh wahi banda hai jo chair ka screw bhi tight nahi kar sakta. Last time yaad hai, jab table theek karne bola tha? Table aur tod di isne!"

Sab log hassne lagte hain, aur Dev ka sir aur jhuk jata hai.

Chacha (taana marte hue): "Mujhe toh sharm aati hai yeh soch ke ki hamare khandan mein aisa koi hai. Har khandan mein ek ladka hota hai jo apne ghar ka sahara banta hai. Aur yeh? Yeh toh poora ghar khali karwa dega."

Cousin Sister (ghinn se): "Isse toh koi shaadi bhi nahi karega. Kis ladki ke ma-baap apni beti ko ek nakara aadmi ke saath shaadi karayenge? Shaadi toh door, isko toh koi apne ghar ka naukar bhi nahi rakhega."

Dev ki maa, jo ek kone mein bethi hain, chup reh nahi pati. "Yeh toh meri zindagi ka sabse bada pachtawa hai. Pata nahi kyu isko janam diya. Arre, koi apne maa-baap ke liye izzat ka karan banta hai, aur yeh? Yeh toh sirf hamare liye sharam ka karan ban gaya hai."

Dev ke papa apne kursi se uthte hain aur thandi si awaaz mein bolte hain, "Tu kisi kaam ka nahi hai, Dev. Main toh yeh sochta hoon ki agar tu ghar chhod de, toh shayad sabke dukh kam ho jayenge."

Dev kuch bolne ki koshish karta hai, lekin uski awaaz dab jaati hai. Uski chhoti behen bolti hai, "Bhai, tumne ek baar bhi kuch prove karne ki koshish kyun nahi ki? Hum sab tumhare liye pareshaan hote hain, lekin tum... tumhare chehre pe bas ek hi cheez dikhai deti hai—haar."

Cousin Brother (aur ek taana maarte hue): "Bhai, ek suggestion doon? Kisi circus mein kaam dhoondh le. Wahan toh tere jaise useless log bhi fit ho jate hain. Kam se kam wahan toh log tere upar hansenge aur tu apni useless life ka kuch kaam kar lega."**

Room ek baar phir se thaakon se gunj uthta hai. Dev ke dil ke tukde ho rahe hain, lekin wo chup-chaap khada hai. Uske aankhon se aansoo girne lagte hain, lekin wo unhe pochne ki bhi himmat nahi kar pata. Wo dheere-dheere andar ki taraf hi ghoom jata hai, jaise uska dard kisi ko samajh nahi aayega.

Dev ke papa ka gussa aur unki beizzati ka silsila ruka nahi tha. "Tu mar kyun nahi jaata? Tere marne se kam se kam humein toh sukoon milega. Ek bekaar insaan ka bojh uthana humare bas ki baat nahi hai," unhone thandi aur tez awaaz mein kaha.

Badi behen: "Pata hai, Papa? Yeh zinda hai toh hamare liye sharam ka karan hai. Ek din koi is ghar ke darwaze pe humein taane dene aa jayega, aur hum sir jhuka ke sun lenge. Isse accha yeh mar hi जाए!"

Chhoti behen, jo ab tak chup thi, apni jagah se khadi ho gayi. "Aap logon ko sharam aani chahiye! Bhai aapka beta hai, aapka khoon hai. Aap sab ne kabhi usse pyar kiya? Kabhi usse kuch sikhaya? Har waqt bas taane marte ho. Aap sab usse maar daloge ek din," uski awaaz gusse aur aansuon se bhar chuki thi.

Papa ne ghusse mein kaha, "Humare ghar ka naam mitti mein mila diya isne. Tu chup reh, uski tarafdari mat kar. Yeh kabhi sudhar nahi sakta."

Cousin ne mazaak udaate hue bola, "Arey, chhoti behen ko toh apne useless bhai pe bada pyar aa raha hai. Kyun? Yeh toh khud bhi apne marne ke laayak hai. Iska kuch nahi ho sakta!"

Dev ne pehli baar apni behen ki taraf dekha, uski aankhon mein aansoon aur sharm ka samundar tha. "Chhoti, bas kar... mujhe kisi ki zarurat nahi hai. Shayad sab log theek hi bolte hain. Main kuch nahi hoon, kisi kaam ka nahi hoon," uski awaaz dard se bhari thi.

Uske papa ne usse dekh kar kaha, "Agar tere mein thodi bhi sharam bachi hai, toh yeh ghar chhod de. Teri wajah se yeh ghar dooba ja raha hai. Ab aur mat rah yahan."

Dev dheere-dheere wahaan se chal diya, bina kuch bole. Chhoti behen uske peeche jaane lagi, lekin badi behen ne use rok diya. "Chhod, uski tarafdari karna bandh kar. Aise log ke liye rona bhi paap hai," usne gusse mein kaha.

Dev ne darwaza band kar liya, aur kamre ke kone mein baith gaya. Uski aankhon se aansoon ruk nahi rahe the. Usne socha, "Shayad yeh log sahi keh rahe hain. Shayad meri zindagi ka kuch matlab nahi hai."

Lekin chhoti behen darwaza khol kar uske paas aayi. "Bhai, kuch mat socho. Main tumhare saath hoon. Tumhe sab prove karne ka mauka milega," usne kaha, lekin Dev kuch nahi bola.




Baaki log aakar uski chhoti behen ko khich kar lekar chale gaye dheere dheere time gya aur samay hua raat kaa.

Raat ka samay. Ghar mein sab so rahe hain, lekin Dev ke kamre ke bahar kuch saazish chal rahi hai. Uske papa, badi behen, chacha, aur cousin ne milkar ek plan banaya hai.

Papa (dheere awaaz mein): "Aaj raat is chapter ko yahin khatam karte hain. Is ghar ka bojh khatam hona chahiye."

Chacha (raazdaar tone mein): "Usse yahaan nahi maar sakte. Ghar ke peeche ka jungle sahi jagah hai. Subah tak koi uska pata nahi laga payega."

Sab log apne haath mein rassi, danda, aur chhura lekar Dev ke kamre ki taraf badhte hain. Dev neend mein hai, apne sapnon mein khoya hua. Uske sapne bhi dukh bhare hain—aise sapne, jo sirf ek toota hua insaan dekh sakta hai.



Darwaza dheere se khulta hai, aur wo log uske kareeb aate hain. Ek hi jhatke mein Dev ke munh par rassi baandh di jati hai aur uska haath-pair pakad liya jata hai. Dev aankhein kholta hai, lekin kuch samajhne se pehle uske papa uske sir par danda maarte hain.



Badi Behen (gusse se): "Zyada shor mat karna! Jaldi se isse gadi mein daalo."

Dev adhoori hosh mein hai, lekin kuch kar nahi paa raha. Usse ghaseet kar ek gaadi ke andar daal diya jata hai. Gaadi andheri raat mein ek sunsaan jungle ki taraf chal padti hai.

Jungle ke beech ek jagah gaadi rukti hai.

Cousin (hassi udate hue): "Yeh jagah perfect hai. Koi idhar nahi aata."

Dev ko gaadi se neeche ghaseet kar nikala jata hai. Uska sharir abhi bhi half-conscious hai. Chacha ek chhura nikal kar uske papa ki taraf deta hai.





Chacha: "Aap hi khatam kijiye. Aakhir iska bojh sabse zyada aapne uthaya hai."

Papa bina ek shabd bole chhura uthate hain aur Dev ki taraf dekhte hain. "Tune humein sirf dukh aur sharm di hai. Aaj teri kahani khatam hoti hai."

Badi behen aur cousin Dev ko pakad kar rakhte hain. Papa chhura uske peeth mein ghusa dete hain. Dev ki aankhon ke samne andhera chha jata hai, lekin wo poora behosh nahi hota. Uska sharir lagbhag motionless hai, aur wo log samajhte hain ki Dev ab mar chuka hai.

Badi Behen: "Kaam khatam. Chalo yahan se niklo. Koi iski laash tak nahi dhundhega."

Wo log Dev ke sharir ko jungle ke andar ek gehera gaddha dekh kar wahan phenk dete hain aur upar se patthar aur mitti daal kar dhak dete hain. Sab log wapas gaadi mein baith kar ghar laut jate hain, jaise kuch hua hi na ho.

UPDATE 8

Dev, ICU ke ek kone mein khada, apne samne khade logon ko ghoor raha tha—Ananya uski chhoti behen,and Priya, aur Ayush. In logon ke chehron par shock aur emotional bechaini ka mila jula rang tha. Dev ke haathon par gundo ka khoon abhi tak sookha nahi tha, aur uske kapde jangli mitti aur khoon se bhar chuke the.​

Ananya ka dil dard se bhar gaya tha, lekin uski aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chamak thi. "Bhai..." Uski awaaz halki thi, lekin usme jitni bechaini thi, utni hi khushi bhi thi. Priya aur Ayush uske paas khade the, magar unhe bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha ki Dev sach mein unke samne khada hai ya koi sapna dekh rahe hain.

Ananya ne kuch seconds ke liye Dev ke chehre ko dekha, phir ek kadam aage badhkar kaha, "Hum sabko laga tha ki tum... tum humein chhod ke chale gaye ho, par yeh sab jhoot tha, na? Waha mom-dad sab pareshan the, fir unhone kaha tha ki tum kho gaye ho."

Dev ke chehre par ek thandi aur sukoon bhari muskaan thi, lekin uski aankhon mein uske andar ke tufan ka dard chhupa nahi paa raha tha. "Main kahan jaata, Ananya? Main tumhare liye hi zinda hoon. Yeh duniya chhodne ki himmat mere andar kabhi nahi thi."

Priya ne beech mein baat kaat di, "Tumhare saath yeh sab kisne kiya? Aur kyu kiya?"

Dev ne apne haath se machine ki ek drip uthayi aur uska khoon mitti ke saath mix hote hue dekha. Uski awaaz thandi thi, lekin usme ek ajeeb si garmi thi. "Jis ghar ko maine apna samjha, jis family ke liye maine apni jaan tak dene ko socha tha, wahi log mere maut ka kaaran bane. Unhone mujhe maara, aur jungle mein dafnaya. Lekin unhone ek baat nahi samjhi—main sirf mitti mein daba hoon, mit nahi sakta. Unhone socha tha ki yeh kahani yahin khatam ho gayi, lekin kahani toh ab shuru hoti hai. Yeh achha hua ki yeh waha aaye aur mujhe gaadi se nikaal ke yahan laaye."

Ananya ka gussa uske chehre par saaf dikh raha tha. Uski aankhon mein aansuon ke saath ek aag thi, jo uske bhai Dev ke dard ko sunne ke baad aur bhadak gayi thi. Usne ek kadam aage badhkar gusse se kaha, "Bhai, aap yeh kya keh rahe ho? Kya dad, chacha, didi... sabne milke aapko maarne ki koshish ki? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Woh toh humari family hain!"

Dev ne ek thandi saans li aur apne haath ko dheere se ghoorte hue kaha, "Ananya, sach wahi hota hai jo hum dekhte hain, lekin kabhi kabhi sach samajhne ke liye apni aankhon ke saath apna dimaag aur dil bhi lagana padta hai. Unhone mujhe dhokha diya, mujhe peeth ke peeche se maara aur jungle mein dafnaya. Unhone mujhe apne raaste ka kaanta samjha aur nikaal diya."

Ananya ki saans tez ho gayi thi. Usne apne haath ghutne par rakh liye, jaise woh apne gusse ko sambhalne ki koshish kar rahi ho. "Mujhe yaqeen nahi ho raha, bhai! Dad ne, jo mujhe har din kehte the ki family sabse badi hoti hai... Chacha ne, jo hamesha mujhe samjhate the ki insaan ko apni family ke liye kuch bhi karna chahiye... aur Sakshi didi, unhone aapke saath aisa kaise kiya?"

Dev ka chehra abhi bhi thanda tha, lekin uski aankhon mein uske andar ke toofan ka pata de rahi thi. "Ananya, sach kabhi kabhi itna kadwa hota hai ki usse samajhne ke liye himmat chahiye. Tumhare saamne unhone jo mask lagaya tha, woh ek dhoka tha. Unhone socha ki main unke kisi kaam ka nahi tha, isliye mujhe hamesha ke liye khatam kar diya. Lekin unhone yeh nahi socha tha ki Dev mar kar bhi zinda ho sakta hai."

Ananya abhi bhi apne gusse ko sambhal nahi paayi thi. Usne zor se kaha, "Nahi, mujhe dad, chacha aur didi se baat karni hogi! Mujhe sach unhi ke mooh se sunna hoga, aakhir itna kya nafrat hai aap se aur itna paisa hai toh kya karenge, paisa kon se kuwe mein daalenge!"

Dev ne Ananya ke gaal ko pakad kar, pyaar bhari nazar se dekha aur bola, "Nahi, Anu... meri laado, aisa mat sochna. Main mar chuka hoon, par sirf duniya ke liye. Tumhare liye main wahi bhai hoon jo tumhari khushi ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hai. Tumhe yahi ghar sambhalna hoga, yahin rehna hoga. Yehi tumhari jagah hai aur tum dono, Priya aur Ayush, kisi ko pata na lage ki humse milne Ananya yahan aayi thi, samjhi?"

Dono ne haan mein sir hila diya.

Ananya ne gusse aur dard bhari awaaz mein kaha, "Bhai, kaise rahoon uss ghar mein jahan un logon ne aapko maar diya? Jahan ek pal bhi guzarna meri saansien rokh deta hai?"

Dev ne uski aankhon mein dekha aur ek gahri saans lekar bola, "Meri laado, tumhe meri kasam hai. Tumhe wahi rehna hoga. Main toh apna haq kho chuka hoon, tum yeh mat karna."

Ananya ke aankhon mein aansu the, lekin usne dheere se kaha, "Bhai, un logon ke saath kaise reh sakti hoon jinhone aapka khoon kiya? Unka samna kaise karungi?"

Dev ne ek halki muskaan ke saath kaha, "Tum unka samna tabhi kar paogi jab tum strong banogi. Unhe darane ka sirf ek hi tarika hai—apne dukh aur gusse ko apni taqat banao. Main hamesha tumhare saath hoon, chahe tum mujhe dekho ya na dekho. Tumhe darna nahi hai, laado. Tumhe apne bhai ka naam roshan karna hai. Main useless raha, par tum woh galati mat karna."

Ananya ab chup thi, uski aankhon mein ek nayi roshni thi. Usne apne bhai ka haath pakad kar kaha, "Aapne jo kaha, bhai, main karungi. Lekin ek baat ka wada kijiye—agar kabhi mujhe zarurat ho, toh aap wapas aayenge."

Dev ne Ananya ke gaal pe apna haath rakha, uski aankhon mein ghoorta hua, ek halka sa muskaan ke saath bola, "Main teri shadow ki tarah tere saath hoon, Anu. Chahe tu mujhe dekhe ya na dekhe, main hamesha tere aas paas rahunga. Kabhi na kabhi tere dil mein yeh khayal aaya hoga ki main kisi kaam ka nahi hoon, hai na?"

Ananya ne kuch kehne ke liye apna muh khola, par Dev ne uske bolne se pehle hi uske haath ko pakad kar kaha, "Ruk, meri baat sun. Yeh baat toh main khud jaanta hoon ki logon ke liye main bas ek 'useless' hoon. Par yeh samajh le, main kisi kaam ka hoon ya na hoon, apni family ke liye hamesha kuch karne ki sochi hai maine. Shayad meri galti yeh thi ki maine jo bhi socha, usse karne mein zyada waqt lag gaya aur woh nahi kar paya jo family ko chahiye tha. Par tu thi, jisme ne mera saath diya. Hamesha. Ab se tu hi meri family hai."

Uski baat mein ek dard tha, jo Ananya ke dil tak pahuch raha tha. Ananya ke aankhon mein aansu aa gaye. Usne gusse aur dard ke mix mein kaha, "Bhai, aapko kabhi kisi ne samjha hi nahi. Par main jaanti hoon ki aap mere liye kya ho. Aap 'useless' nahi ho, aap mere sab kuch ho."

Ananya ne uske haath ko zor se pakad liya, jaise woh duniya ko yeh batana chahti ho ki uska bhai uske liye duniya ka sabse zaruri insaan hai.

Dev aur Ananya baatein kar rahe the, tabhi hospital ki main darwaje par ek aadmi aata hai. Dev ne aankhon se pehchana—Viper. Viper ne aane ke baad ek gehri nazar Dev par daali aur phir pyaar bhare shabdon mein kaha, "Dev, tu thik toh hai na?"

Dev ne apna sar utha kar thoda sa muskurate hue kaha, "Haan, sab theek hai. Viper, tumne nahi bachaya hota toh wahi dafan rehata."

Viper ne thoda muskurate hue jawab diya, "Aur badla tumne mujhe is gang se bachake kar diya."

Jaise hi Dev aur Ananya baatein kar rahe the, achanak hospital ke main darwaze se kuch armed army officers dikhayi diye. Unka chehra shkat tha, aur unhone turant apni rifles ko apne haathon mein sambhal liya. Dev ki nazar un par gayi, aur usne apni aankhon se unka mool uddeshya samajh liya.

Ek officer aage badhkar bola, "Dev, humein tumse kuch zaruri baatein karni hain." Uske chehre par thoda ghamand tha, lekin usne apni aankhon mein ek gehra raaz chhupa kar, apne chehre par ek thodi si muskaan ke saath bola, "Dev, humein tumse kuch zaruri baatein karni hain. Tumhare pass kuch nahi, humari baat sunna tumhare liye behtar hoga. Agar tum nahi hote, toh shayad ab tak hum yahan sabko maarne ka operation kar chuke hote. Tumhare hone se kuch ruk gaya hai."

Dev ne apni aankhon mein thoda gussa aur thodi si taqat dikhayi. Usne apni body ko thoda aur straight kiya, aur bola, "Toh tum keh rahe ho ki tumhare paas koi faisla tha, aur main tumhein rok raha hoon? Agar tumhe kisi ko maarna tha, toh tumhara kaam pehle karna chahiye tha. Main yahan kyun hoon, woh mujhe samajh nahi aata."

Jaise hi Dev ne apne jazbaat dikhaye, ek aur officer jo un sabka chief lag raha tha, aage aaya. Uska chehra aur bhi zyada shaktishali tha, aur uske aankhon mein ek ghamand tha. Usne apne haath mein jo file thi, usse zor se ghumaate hue, apne sabhi officers ko ek nishchit ishaara diya.

Chief ne apne gusse ko dabaate hue, Dev se kaha, "Tum sirf ek galati ka natija ho, Dev. Tumhein lagta hai ki tumhare decisions ke wajah se hum kuch nahi kar sakte, lekin tum bhool rahe ho ki tumhara hona sirf ek galat faisla tha. Tumne jo kuch bhi kiya hai, uska bhugatna humein aur duniya ko padega. Tumhare saath yeh jo khel ho raha hai, uska anjaam bohot kathin hoga."

Dev ne apni aankhon mein thoda aur gussa bharte hue, uske chehre par muskaan laakar jawab diya, "Agar tum samajhte ho ki main tumhare khel ka hissa hoon, toh tum galat ho. Main apni zindagi ka faisla khud karta hoon. Tum jo keh rahe ho, uska matlab mujhe samajh aata hai, lekin main kisi bhi haad tak jaa sakta hoon apni taqat dikhane ke liye."

Chief ne thodi der ke liye chup rehkar Dev ko ghoorte hue, apni muskaan ko aur zyada gehra kar diya. Phir, apni awaaz mein ek khaufnaak tezi lete hue bola, "Yeh jo taakat ki baat tum kar rahe ho na, Dev, yeh kahaan se mili hai tumhe, pata hai?"

Dev aur baaki officers yeh sunke shock ho gaye. Unhone apne chehre par hairani aur curiosity ki chhap dekhi. Dev ka chehra bhi thoda badal gaya tha. Usne apni aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chavi dekhi, jo ab tak usne nahi mehsoos ki thi. "Tumne kaha... 'taakat'?" Dev ne apni awaaz ko zyada gahra karte hue poocha.

Chief ki muskaan ab aur bhi khaufnaak ho gayi thi. "Haan, Dev. Tumhara jo yeh attitude aur yeh taqat hai, yeh sirf kisi aur se aayi hai. Tum samajh rahe ho na ki main kya keh raha hoon?" Chief ka har lafz ab zara zyada thund tha, jaise har shabd Dev ke dimaag mein ek nayi uljhan daal raha ho.

Dev ne apne haath ko dekha, apni unglion ke paas, jahan ek chhoti si chot thi, lekin woh ab waha nahi thi jahan honi chahiye thi. Uska chehra ek pal ke liye thoda badal gaya, jaise usse samajh nahi aa raha ho ki uske saath kya ho raha hai. Usne apne haath ko dheere se chhua aur mann mein ek ajeeb sa darr mehsoos kiya.

Dev ne apni awaaz ko aur gehra karte hue kaha, "Sir, jo aap kehna chahte hain, khul ke kahiye. Yeh adhoori baatein mujhe aur confuse kar rahi hain. Aur rahi baat mere hone ki, toh main jo hoon wahi hoon. Agar meri jaan bhi jaaye, toh kya fark padega?"

Chief ne Dev ke jazbaat aur uski uljhan ko samajhte hue apni file bandh ki aur usse table par rakha. Usne ek gehri saans li aur kaha, "Dev, tum jo ab dekh rahe ho, woh ek insaan ki taqat se zyada hai. Tumhare saath kuch aisa hua hai jo is duniya ke samajh se pare hai."

Dev ki aankhon mein curiosity aur zyada badh gayi. Usne thoda aage badhte hue poocha, "Aur yeh sab kyu ho raha hai? Yeh taqat jo aap keh rahe hain, yeh mujhe kahan se mili? Aur aap log mujhe is tarah kyun dekh rahe hain jaise main koi alag prani hoon?"

Chief ne dheere se muskaan laakar kaha, "Tum alag ho, Dev. Tumhare andar jo ho raha hai, woh ek galti ka natija hai. Tum ek experiment ka hissa ho, ek aisa experiment jo kabhi hona hi nahi chahiye tha. Aur woh experiment tumhe ek aam insaan se kuch aur banata ja raha hai."

Dev ne shock mein kaha, "Experiment? Main? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Main toh bas ek normal insaan hoon!"

Chief ne apne shabdon ko aur zyada ghera banate hue bola, "Tum samajh rahe ho, Dev. Tumhare haath mein jo badlav ho raha hai, woh ek signal hai. Tumhare andar ek shakti jag chuki hai, jo insano ke liye nahi hai. Tumhari jaan ab sirf tumhari nahi hai, balki woh duniya ke liye ek khatra bhi ho sakti hai."

Dev ne apni unglion ko dobara dekha, jaise woh kuch samajhne ki koshish kar raha ho. Uska dimaag ek ajeeb si uljhan mein fas gaya tha, aur uske chehre par ek mix reaction tha—gussa, shock, aur dar.

"Sir," Dev ne ek gehri saans lete hue kaha, "Aap mujhe yeh samjhaye ki yeh sab kaise huaa

Chief ne ek gehri saans li aur apni kursi se uthte hue kaha, "Dev, tumhare saath jo hua hai, woh ek kahaani hai jo sirf files aur laboratory tak seemit thi. Par ab woh haqeeqat ban chuki hai, ek aisi haqeeqat jo duniya ke liye samajhna mushkil hoga. Main tumhe sab kuch bataunga."

Chief ne ek file uthai, jisme kuch purane documents aur tasveerein thi. Usne ek tasveer Dev ke saamne rakhi, jo ek bade laboratory setup ki thi. Tasveer mein log white lab coats pehne hue the, aur beech mein ek glass chamber dikh raha tha, jisme ek insaan pada tha. Tasveer dekhte hi Dev ka chehra safed pad gaya.

"Yeh... yeh kya hai?" Dev ne shock mein kaha.

Chief ne dheere se bola, "Yeh tumhara shuruat ka safar hai, Dev. Tum ek aam insaan nahi ho. Tum ek experiment ka natija ho, aur yeh experiment ek galti thi jo kabhi hone hi nahi chahiye thi."

Ananya (gusse aur hairani ke saath): "What? Mere bhaiya aur experimental? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Sir, aap mujhe samjhaiye! Yeh sab kaise hua? Mera bhai ek experiment ka hissa nahi ho sakta!"

Chief (gambhir aur narmi bhari awaaz mein): "Beta, shaant ho jao. Tumhare bhai Dev us experiment mein directly shamil nahi the. Lekin... us experiment ka connection tumhari family se hai."

Ananya (aur zyada hairani aur tension ke saath): "Meri family? Matlab kaise? Hum log ek aam family hain! Aap kya kehna chahte hain ki mere parivaar ki wajah se woh experiment hua? Yeh baat samajh mein nahi aa rahi!"

FLASHBACK
DEV KE MURDER KI RAAT ​

Jungle ke gehraiyon mein, ek aur bhayankar cheez ho rahi thi. Army ke soldiers apne kaam mein lage hue the, lekin unka chehra bata raha tha ki woh jo kar rahe the, woh bilkul normal nahi tha. Har ek soldier ne apni aankhon mein ek ajeeb sa darr aur confusion mehsoos kiya tha.

Jungle ke ek isolated hisse mein, ek soldier ne haath mein ek hazardous substance ka container uthaya, aur apne colleagues ko dekhte hue usko sambhal kar daal raha tha. Samagri ka kaam khatam hone ko tha, lekin uske mann mein kuch sawal the.​

Tabhi ek junior officer, jo thoda sa nerve-wracking situation mein tha, ne apne senior officer se kaha, "Sir, humein yeh sab iss jungle mein nahi karna chahiye. Yaha log aas-paas ho sakte hain, aur agar yeh baat unhe pata chal gayi, toh... humari poori team ko mushkil ho sakti hai."

Uske shabdon ne kuch der ke liye ek shanti ka mahaul banaya. Sabhi soldiers thoda ruke, aur har koi apne apne kaam ko rok kar us junior officer ki baat sunne laga. Ek lamha laga ki senior officer is baat par kuch jawab dega.​

Lekin, senior officer ne apne gas mask ko dheere se utar kar, apni aankhon mein gussa aur tension ka mixture dikhate hue usko daant diya. "Tum samajh nahi rahe ho, tumhe apne kaam pe dhyan dena chahiye. Agar hum yeh kaam yaha nahi karenge, toh tumhare ghar tak yeh cheez pahuch jayegi aur tumhe pata bhi nahi chalega. Tumhaari fikr humare liye second priority hai. Yaha sirf ek kaam hai—survival. Aur yeh hum jo kar rahe hain, woh humari zindagi ke liye zaroori hai aur mere seniors ne batata hai yeh sab biodegradable items and cheeze hai ."

Junior officer ne chup ho kar apna sir neeche kar diya, aur sabhi soldiers ne apne apne kaam mein wapas se lagna shuru kar diya. Senior officer ki baat mein jo gussa tha, woh sab par bhari pad gaya. Koi bhi ab kisi sawal ka jawab nahi chahta tha.

Jab samagri ko dispose kiya jaa raha tha, ek soldier ne apne haath se ek aur container bhar diya, aur sabhi ko ek instruction diya, "Yeh kaam khatam karo, aur kisi bhi cheez ki tasveer mat lena. Koi bhi record nahi chahiye. Sab kuch jaise hua, waise rahne do."

Sare soldiers ne sirf nod kiya, aur phir se woh gas mask ke saath apna kaam shuru kar diya. Dheere dheere, yeh puri kahani ab kisi aise raaz ki taraf badh rahi thi jo kabhi samajh mein nahi aane wala tha. Aur woh junior officer apni baat par chhup gaya tha, kyunki usne samajh liya tha ki kabhi kabhi, kisi kaam ke liye kuch cheezein zaroori hoti hain jo aap samajh nahi paate.

Jungle ke gehre kone mein, soldiers apna kaam khatam kar chuke the. Hazardous substances ko niptane ka kaam puri tarah se complete ho chuka tha. Ab sirf ek ajeeb si khamoshi thi jo unke aas-paas ke mahaul mein chha gayi thi. ​

Soldiers ek line mein khade the, apne equipment ko pack karte hue, aur kuch apne gas mask utar kar gehri saansein le rahe the.​

Tabhi, dur se ek ajeeb si awaaz unke kaan mein padhi—pehle dheemi, lekin dheere-dheere woh awaaz tez hone lagi. Ek gaadi ke engine ki gungunahat jungle ki khamoshi ko tod rahi thi. Ek soldier ne turant alert hote hue apne senior ko dekha aur bola, “Sir, koi gaadi yaha ki taraf aa rahi hai.”​

Sabhi ke chehre par ek sa tension waapas laut aaya. Senior officer ne haath utha kar sabko sanket diya ki chup raho aur apni jagah bane raho. Saare soldiers apne haath apne hathiyaar par rakhe, jungle ke andhere mein chupne ki tayyari karte hue. Gaadi ki awaaz ab aur tez hone lagi thi, jaise woh unke bilkul kareeb aa rahi ho. Har ek soldier ke dil ki dhadkan ab badh chuki thi.

Senior officer ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha, “Koi roshni nahi, koi harkat nahi. Pehle dekho yeh log kaun hain.” Sabhi soldiers ab us gaadi ke kareeb aane ka intezar kar rahe the, aur jungle ka mahaul aur bhi daravani aur chintajnak ho chuka tha.

Gaadi ki awaaz ab kareeb aane lagi thi, aur phir headlights ki roshni dense jungle ke pedon ke beech se chamakne lagi. Soldiers apni jagah par chup-chaap khade the, weapons haath mein thaame, har ek moment ko gaur se dekh rahe the. Tabhi ek purani car gaadi unke nazar ke saamne aakar ruki. Gaadi ka engine band hua, aur kuch lamhon ke liye waha sirf ek bhari khamoshi chha gayi.​

Phir, car ka darwaza dheere se khula, aur usme se teen log bahar nikle—ek aadmi, ek ladka, aur ek ladki. Teeno ke chehre par ek ajeeb si khamoshi aur bechaini thi. Soldiers unhe dekh rahe the, lekin unhone apni jagah se hilne ki koshish nahi ki. Aadmi ne gaadi ke pichle hisse ka darwaza khola aur andar se ek lash ko kheench kar bahar laane laga. Lash ek kapde me lapeti gayi thi, lekin uska ek haath dheere se bahar latak raha tha.

Ladka aur ladki ne milkar lash ko uthaya aur jungle ke ek kone mein le jaakar bina kuch bole usse wahi dump kar diya. Unhone lash ko theek se settle karte hue ek baar bhi aapas mein koi baat nahi ki, jaise unhe pata ho ki jo ho raha hai, woh kisi bhi tarah sawaal uthana nahi chahta. Aadmi ne ek baar lash ke upar ghoor kar dekha, aur phir bina kuch kahe wapas gaadi ki taraf mud gaya.​

Army ke soldiers ye sab chup-chaap dekh rahe the. Unhone ek doosre ki taraf dekha, lekin kisi ne bhi kuch bolne ki himmat nahi ki. Senior officer ne apne haath se signal diya, aur saare soldiers apni jagah se dheere-dheere nikal kar waha se chale gaye. Jungle ki ghani andhere mein ab sirf woh lash aur us gaadi ki halka sa gungunahat bachi thi, jo dheere-dheere jungle ki ghani gehraiyon mein gum ho gaya​

Nice and superb update....

UPDATE 8

Dev, ICU ke ek kone mein khada, apne samne khade logon ko ghoor raha tha—Ananya uski chhoti behen,and Priya, aur Ayush. In logon ke chehron par shock aur emotional bechaini ka mila jula rang tha. Dev ke haathon par gundo ka khoon abhi tak sookha nahi tha, aur uske kapde jangli mitti aur khoon se bhar chuke the.​

Ananya ka dil dard se bhar gaya tha, lekin uski aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chamak thi. "Bhai..." Uski awaaz halki thi, lekin usme jitni bechaini thi, utni hi khushi bhi thi. Priya aur Ayush uske paas khade the, magar unhe bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha ki Dev sach mein unke samne khada hai ya koi sapna dekh rahe hain.

Ananya ne kuch seconds ke liye Dev ke chehre ko dekha, phir ek kadam aage badhkar kaha, "Hum sabko laga tha ki tum... tum humein chhod ke chale gaye ho, par yeh sab jhoot tha, na? Waha mom-dad sab pareshan the, fir unhone kaha tha ki tum kho gaye ho."

Dev ke chehre par ek thandi aur sukoon bhari muskaan thi, lekin uski aankhon mein uske andar ke tufan ka dard chhupa nahi paa raha tha. "Main kahan jaata, Ananya? Main tumhare liye hi zinda hoon. Yeh duniya chhodne ki himmat mere andar kabhi nahi thi."

Priya ne beech mein baat kaat di, "Tumhare saath yeh sab kisne kiya? Aur kyu kiya?"

Dev ne apne haath se machine ki ek drip uthayi aur uska khoon mitti ke saath mix hote hue dekha. Uski awaaz thandi thi, lekin usme ek ajeeb si garmi thi. "Jis ghar ko maine apna samjha, jis family ke liye maine apni jaan tak dene ko socha tha, wahi log mere maut ka kaaran bane. Unhone mujhe maara, aur jungle mein dafnaya. Lekin unhone ek baat nahi samjhi—main sirf mitti mein daba hoon, mit nahi sakta. Unhone socha tha ki yeh kahani yahin khatam ho gayi, lekin kahani toh ab shuru hoti hai. Yeh achha hua ki yeh waha aaye aur mujhe gaadi se nikaal ke yahan laaye."

Ananya ka gussa uske chehre par saaf dikh raha tha. Uski aankhon mein aansuon ke saath ek aag thi, jo uske bhai Dev ke dard ko sunne ke baad aur bhadak gayi thi. Usne ek kadam aage badhkar gusse se kaha, "Bhai, aap yeh kya keh rahe ho? Kya dad, chacha, didi... sabne milke aapko maarne ki koshish ki? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Woh toh humari family hain!"

Dev ne ek thandi saans li aur apne haath ko dheere se ghoorte hue kaha, "Ananya, sach wahi hota hai jo hum dekhte hain, lekin kabhi kabhi sach samajhne ke liye apni aankhon ke saath apna dimaag aur dil bhi lagana padta hai. Unhone mujhe dhokha diya, mujhe peeth ke peeche se maara aur jungle mein dafnaya. Unhone mujhe apne raaste ka kaanta samjha aur nikaal diya."

Ananya ki saans tez ho gayi thi. Usne apne haath ghutne par rakh liye, jaise woh apne gusse ko sambhalne ki koshish kar rahi ho. "Mujhe yaqeen nahi ho raha, bhai! Dad ne, jo mujhe har din kehte the ki family sabse badi hoti hai... Chacha ne, jo hamesha mujhe samjhate the ki insaan ko apni family ke liye kuch bhi karna chahiye... aur Sakshi didi, unhone aapke saath aisa kaise kiya?"

Dev ka chehra abhi bhi thanda tha, lekin uski aankhon mein uske andar ke toofan ka pata de rahi thi. "Ananya, sach kabhi kabhi itna kadwa hota hai ki usse samajhne ke liye himmat chahiye. Tumhare saamne unhone jo mask lagaya tha, woh ek dhoka tha. Unhone socha ki main unke kisi kaam ka nahi tha, isliye mujhe hamesha ke liye khatam kar diya. Lekin unhone yeh nahi socha tha ki Dev mar kar bhi zinda ho sakta hai."

Ananya abhi bhi apne gusse ko sambhal nahi paayi thi. Usne zor se kaha, "Nahi, mujhe dad, chacha aur didi se baat karni hogi! Mujhe sach unhi ke mooh se sunna hoga, aakhir itna kya nafrat hai aap se aur itna paisa hai toh kya karenge, paisa kon se kuwe mein daalenge!"

Dev ne Ananya ke gaal ko pakad kar, pyaar bhari nazar se dekha aur bola, "Nahi, Anu... meri laado, aisa mat sochna. Main mar chuka hoon, par sirf duniya ke liye. Tumhare liye main wahi bhai hoon jo tumhari khushi ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hai. Tumhe yahi ghar sambhalna hoga, yahin rehna hoga. Yehi tumhari jagah hai aur tum dono, Priya aur Ayush, kisi ko pata na lage ki humse milne Ananya yahan aayi thi, samjhi?"

Dono ne haan mein sir hila diya.

Ananya ne gusse aur dard bhari awaaz mein kaha, "Bhai, kaise rahoon uss ghar mein jahan un logon ne aapko maar diya? Jahan ek pal bhi guzarna meri saansien rokh deta hai?"

Dev ne uski aankhon mein dekha aur ek gahri saans lekar bola, "Meri laado, tumhe meri kasam hai. Tumhe wahi rehna hoga. Main toh apna haq kho chuka hoon, tum yeh mat karna."

Ananya ke aankhon mein aansu the, lekin usne dheere se kaha, "Bhai, un logon ke saath kaise reh sakti hoon jinhone aapka khoon kiya? Unka samna kaise karungi?"

Dev ne ek halki muskaan ke saath kaha, "Tum unka samna tabhi kar paogi jab tum strong banogi. Unhe darane ka sirf ek hi tarika hai—apne dukh aur gusse ko apni taqat banao. Main hamesha tumhare saath hoon, chahe tum mujhe dekho ya na dekho. Tumhe darna nahi hai, laado. Tumhe apne bhai ka naam roshan karna hai. Main useless raha, par tum woh galati mat karna."

Ananya ab chup thi, uski aankhon mein ek nayi roshni thi. Usne apne bhai ka haath pakad kar kaha, "Aapne jo kaha, bhai, main karungi. Lekin ek baat ka wada kijiye—agar kabhi mujhe zarurat ho, toh aap wapas aayenge."

Dev ne Ananya ke gaal pe apna haath rakha, uski aankhon mein ghoorta hua, ek halka sa muskaan ke saath bola, "Main teri shadow ki tarah tere saath hoon, Anu. Chahe tu mujhe dekhe ya na dekhe, main hamesha tere aas paas rahunga. Kabhi na kabhi tere dil mein yeh khayal aaya hoga ki main kisi kaam ka nahi hoon, hai na?"

Ananya ne kuch kehne ke liye apna muh khola, par Dev ne uske bolne se pehle hi uske haath ko pakad kar kaha, "Ruk, meri baat sun. Yeh baat toh main khud jaanta hoon ki logon ke liye main bas ek 'useless' hoon. Par yeh samajh le, main kisi kaam ka hoon ya na hoon, apni family ke liye hamesha kuch karne ki sochi hai maine. Shayad meri galti yeh thi ki maine jo bhi socha, usse karne mein zyada waqt lag gaya aur woh nahi kar paya jo family ko chahiye tha. Par tu thi, jisme ne mera saath diya. Hamesha. Ab se tu hi meri family hai."

Uski baat mein ek dard tha, jo Ananya ke dil tak pahuch raha tha. Ananya ke aankhon mein aansu aa gaye. Usne gusse aur dard ke mix mein kaha, "Bhai, aapko kabhi kisi ne samjha hi nahi. Par main jaanti hoon ki aap mere liye kya ho. Aap 'useless' nahi ho, aap mere sab kuch ho."

Ananya ne uske haath ko zor se pakad liya, jaise woh duniya ko yeh batana chahti ho ki uska bhai uske liye duniya ka sabse zaruri insaan hai.

Dev aur Ananya baatein kar rahe the, tabhi hospital ki main darwaje par ek aadmi aata hai. Dev ne aankhon se pehchana—Viper. Viper ne aane ke baad ek gehri nazar Dev par daali aur phir pyaar bhare shabdon mein kaha, "Dev, tu thik toh hai na?"

Dev ne apna sar utha kar thoda sa muskurate hue kaha, "Haan, sab theek hai. Viper, tumne nahi bachaya hota toh wahi dafan rehata."

Viper ne thoda muskurate hue jawab diya, "Aur badla tumne mujhe is gang se bachake kar diya."

Jaise hi Dev aur Ananya baatein kar rahe the, achanak hospital ke main darwaze se kuch armed army officers dikhayi diye. Unka chehra shkat tha, aur unhone turant apni rifles ko apne haathon mein sambhal liya. Dev ki nazar un par gayi, aur usne apni aankhon se unka mool uddeshya samajh liya.

Ek officer aage badhkar bola, "Dev, humein tumse kuch zaruri baatein karni hain." Uske chehre par thoda ghamand tha, lekin usne apni aankhon mein ek gehra raaz chhupa kar, apne chehre par ek thodi si muskaan ke saath bola, "Dev, humein tumse kuch zaruri baatein karni hain. Tumhare pass kuch nahi, humari baat sunna tumhare liye behtar hoga. Agar tum nahi hote, toh shayad ab tak hum yahan sabko maarne ka operation kar chuke hote. Tumhare hone se kuch ruk gaya hai."

Dev ne apni aankhon mein thoda gussa aur thodi si taqat dikhayi. Usne apni body ko thoda aur straight kiya, aur bola, "Toh tum keh rahe ho ki tumhare paas koi faisla tha, aur main tumhein rok raha hoon? Agar tumhe kisi ko maarna tha, toh tumhara kaam pehle karna chahiye tha. Main yahan kyun hoon, woh mujhe samajh nahi aata."

Jaise hi Dev ne apne jazbaat dikhaye, ek aur officer jo un sabka chief lag raha tha, aage aaya. Uska chehra aur bhi zyada shaktishali tha, aur uske aankhon mein ek ghamand tha. Usne apne haath mein jo file thi, usse zor se ghumaate hue, apne sabhi officers ko ek nishchit ishaara diya.

Chief ne apne gusse ko dabaate hue, Dev se kaha, "Tum sirf ek galati ka natija ho, Dev. Tumhein lagta hai ki tumhare decisions ke wajah se hum kuch nahi kar sakte, lekin tum bhool rahe ho ki tumhara hona sirf ek galat faisla tha. Tumne jo kuch bhi kiya hai, uska bhugatna humein aur duniya ko padega. Tumhare saath yeh jo khel ho raha hai, uska anjaam bohot kathin hoga."

Dev ne apni aankhon mein thoda aur gussa bharte hue, uske chehre par muskaan laakar jawab diya, "Agar tum samajhte ho ki main tumhare khel ka hissa hoon, toh tum galat ho. Main apni zindagi ka faisla khud karta hoon. Tum jo keh rahe ho, uska matlab mujhe samajh aata hai, lekin main kisi bhi haad tak jaa sakta hoon apni taqat dikhane ke liye."

Chief ne thodi der ke liye chup rehkar Dev ko ghoorte hue, apni muskaan ko aur zyada gehra kar diya. Phir, apni awaaz mein ek khaufnaak tezi lete hue bola, "Yeh jo taakat ki baat tum kar rahe ho na, Dev, yeh kahaan se mili hai tumhe, pata hai?"

Dev aur baaki officers yeh sunke shock ho gaye. Unhone apne chehre par hairani aur curiosity ki chhap dekhi. Dev ka chehra bhi thoda badal gaya tha. Usne apni aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chavi dekhi, jo ab tak usne nahi mehsoos ki thi. "Tumne kaha... 'taakat'?" Dev ne apni awaaz ko zyada gahra karte hue poocha.

Chief ki muskaan ab aur bhi khaufnaak ho gayi thi. "Haan, Dev. Tumhara jo yeh attitude aur yeh taqat hai, yeh sirf kisi aur se aayi hai. Tum samajh rahe ho na ki main kya keh raha hoon?" Chief ka har lafz ab zara zyada thund tha, jaise har shabd Dev ke dimaag mein ek nayi uljhan daal raha ho.

Dev ne apne haath ko dekha, apni unglion ke paas, jahan ek chhoti si chot thi, lekin woh ab waha nahi thi jahan honi chahiye thi. Uska chehra ek pal ke liye thoda badal gaya, jaise usse samajh nahi aa raha ho ki uske saath kya ho raha hai. Usne apne haath ko dheere se chhua aur mann mein ek ajeeb sa darr mehsoos kiya.

Dev ne apni awaaz ko aur gehra karte hue kaha, "Sir, jo aap kehna chahte hain, khul ke kahiye. Yeh adhoori baatein mujhe aur confuse kar rahi hain. Aur rahi baat mere hone ki, toh main jo hoon wahi hoon. Agar meri jaan bhi jaaye, toh kya fark padega?"

Chief ne Dev ke jazbaat aur uski uljhan ko samajhte hue apni file bandh ki aur usse table par rakha. Usne ek gehri saans li aur kaha, "Dev, tum jo ab dekh rahe ho, woh ek insaan ki taqat se zyada hai. Tumhare saath kuch aisa hua hai jo is duniya ke samajh se pare hai."

Dev ki aankhon mein curiosity aur zyada badh gayi. Usne thoda aage badhte hue poocha, "Aur yeh sab kyu ho raha hai? Yeh taqat jo aap keh rahe hain, yeh mujhe kahan se mili? Aur aap log mujhe is tarah kyun dekh rahe hain jaise main koi alag prani hoon?"

Chief ne dheere se muskaan laakar kaha, "Tum alag ho, Dev. Tumhare andar jo ho raha hai, woh ek galti ka natija hai. Tum ek experiment ka hissa ho, ek aisa experiment jo kabhi hona hi nahi chahiye tha. Aur woh experiment tumhe ek aam insaan se kuch aur banata ja raha hai."

Dev ne shock mein kaha, "Experiment? Main? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Main toh bas ek normal insaan hoon!"

Chief ne apne shabdon ko aur zyada ghera banate hue bola, "Tum samajh rahe ho, Dev. Tumhare haath mein jo badlav ho raha hai, woh ek signal hai. Tumhare andar ek shakti jag chuki hai, jo insano ke liye nahi hai. Tumhari jaan ab sirf tumhari nahi hai, balki woh duniya ke liye ek khatra bhi ho sakti hai."

Dev ne apni unglion ko dobara dekha, jaise woh kuch samajhne ki koshish kar raha ho. Uska dimaag ek ajeeb si uljhan mein fas gaya tha, aur uske chehre par ek mix reaction tha—gussa, shock, aur dar.

"Sir," Dev ne ek gehri saans lete hue kaha, "Aap mujhe yeh samjhaye ki yeh sab kaise huaa

Chief ne ek gehri saans li aur apni kursi se uthte hue kaha, "Dev, tumhare saath jo hua hai, woh ek kahaani hai jo sirf files aur laboratory tak seemit thi. Par ab woh haqeeqat ban chuki hai, ek aisi haqeeqat jo duniya ke liye samajhna mushkil hoga. Main tumhe sab kuch bataunga."

Chief ne ek file uthai, jisme kuch purane documents aur tasveerein thi. Usne ek tasveer Dev ke saamne rakhi, jo ek bade laboratory setup ki thi. Tasveer mein log white lab coats pehne hue the, aur beech mein ek glass chamber dikh raha tha, jisme ek insaan pada tha. Tasveer dekhte hi Dev ka chehra safed pad gaya.

"Yeh... yeh kya hai?" Dev ne shock mein kaha.

Chief ne dheere se bola, "Yeh tumhara shuruat ka safar hai, Dev. Tum ek aam insaan nahi ho. Tum ek experiment ka natija ho, aur yeh experiment ek galti thi jo kabhi hone hi nahi chahiye thi."

Ananya (gusse aur hairani ke saath): "What? Mere bhaiya aur experimental? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Sir, aap mujhe samjhaiye! Yeh sab kaise hua? Mera bhai ek experiment ka hissa nahi ho sakta!"

Chief (gambhir aur narmi bhari awaaz mein): "Beta, shaant ho jao. Tumhare bhai Dev us experiment mein directly shamil nahi the. Lekin... us experiment ka connection tumhari family se hai."

Ananya (aur zyada hairani aur tension ke saath): "Meri family? Matlab kaise? Hum log ek aam family hain! Aap kya kehna chahte hain ki mere parivaar ki wajah se woh experiment hua? Yeh baat samajh mein nahi aa rahi!"

FLASHBACK
DEV KE MURDER KI RAAT ​

Jungle ke gehraiyon mein, ek aur bhayankar cheez ho rahi thi. Army ke soldiers apne kaam mein lage hue the, lekin unka chehra bata raha tha ki woh jo kar rahe the, woh bilkul normal nahi tha. Har ek soldier ne apni aankhon mein ek ajeeb sa darr aur confusion mehsoos kiya tha.

Jungle ke ek isolated hisse mein, ek soldier ne haath mein ek hazardous substance ka container uthaya, aur apne colleagues ko dekhte hue usko sambhal kar daal raha tha. Samagri ka kaam khatam hone ko tha, lekin uske mann mein kuch sawal the.​

Tabhi ek junior officer, jo thoda sa nerve-wracking situation mein tha, ne apne senior officer se kaha, "Sir, humein yeh sab iss jungle mein nahi karna chahiye. Yaha log aas-paas ho sakte hain, aur agar yeh baat unhe pata chal gayi, toh... humari poori team ko mushkil ho sakti hai."

Uske shabdon ne kuch der ke liye ek shanti ka mahaul banaya. Sabhi soldiers thoda ruke, aur har koi apne apne kaam ko rok kar us junior officer ki baat sunne laga. Ek lamha laga ki senior officer is baat par kuch jawab dega.​

Lekin, senior officer ne apne gas mask ko dheere se utar kar, apni aankhon mein gussa aur tension ka mixture dikhate hue usko daant diya. "Tum samajh nahi rahe ho, tumhe apne kaam pe dhyan dena chahiye. Agar hum yeh kaam yaha nahi karenge, toh tumhare ghar tak yeh cheez pahuch jayegi aur tumhe pata bhi nahi chalega. Tumhaari fikr humare liye second priority hai. Yaha sirf ek kaam hai—survival. Aur yeh hum jo kar rahe hain, woh humari zindagi ke liye zaroori hai aur mere seniors ne batata hai yeh sab biodegradable items and cheeze hai ."

Junior officer ne chup ho kar apna sir neeche kar diya, aur sabhi soldiers ne apne apne kaam mein wapas se lagna shuru kar diya. Senior officer ki baat mein jo gussa tha, woh sab par bhari pad gaya. Koi bhi ab kisi sawal ka jawab nahi chahta tha.

Jab samagri ko dispose kiya jaa raha tha, ek soldier ne apne haath se ek aur container bhar diya, aur sabhi ko ek instruction diya, "Yeh kaam khatam karo, aur kisi bhi cheez ki tasveer mat lena. Koi bhi record nahi chahiye. Sab kuch jaise hua, waise rahne do."

Sare soldiers ne sirf nod kiya, aur phir se woh gas mask ke saath apna kaam shuru kar diya. Dheere dheere, yeh puri kahani ab kisi aise raaz ki taraf badh rahi thi jo kabhi samajh mein nahi aane wala tha. Aur woh junior officer apni baat par chhup gaya tha, kyunki usne samajh liya tha ki kabhi kabhi, kisi kaam ke liye kuch cheezein zaroori hoti hain jo aap samajh nahi paate.

Jungle ke gehre kone mein, soldiers apna kaam khatam kar chuke the. Hazardous substances ko niptane ka kaam puri tarah se complete ho chuka tha. Ab sirf ek ajeeb si khamoshi thi jo unke aas-paas ke mahaul mein chha gayi thi. ​

Soldiers ek line mein khade the, apne equipment ko pack karte hue, aur kuch apne gas mask utar kar gehri saansein le rahe the.​

Tabhi, dur se ek ajeeb si awaaz unke kaan mein padhi—pehle dheemi, lekin dheere-dheere woh awaaz tez hone lagi. Ek gaadi ke engine ki gungunahat jungle ki khamoshi ko tod rahi thi. Ek soldier ne turant alert hote hue apne senior ko dekha aur bola, “Sir, koi gaadi yaha ki taraf aa rahi hai.”​

Sabhi ke chehre par ek sa tension waapas laut aaya. Senior officer ne haath utha kar sabko sanket diya ki chup raho aur apni jagah bane raho. Saare soldiers apne haath apne hathiyaar par rakhe, jungle ke andhere mein chupne ki tayyari karte hue. Gaadi ki awaaz ab aur tez hone lagi thi, jaise woh unke bilkul kareeb aa rahi ho. Har ek soldier ke dil ki dhadkan ab badh chuki thi.

Senior officer ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha, “Koi roshni nahi, koi harkat nahi. Pehle dekho yeh log kaun hain.” Sabhi soldiers ab us gaadi ke kareeb aane ka intezar kar rahe the, aur jungle ka mahaul aur bhi daravani aur chintajnak ho chuka tha.

Gaadi ki awaaz ab kareeb aane lagi thi, aur phir headlights ki roshni dense jungle ke pedon ke beech se chamakne lagi. Soldiers apni jagah par chup-chaap khade the, weapons haath mein thaame, har ek moment ko gaur se dekh rahe the. Tabhi ek purani car gaadi unke nazar ke saamne aakar ruki. Gaadi ka engine band hua, aur kuch lamhon ke liye waha sirf ek bhari khamoshi chha gayi.​

Phir, car ka darwaza dheere se khula, aur usme se teen log bahar nikle—ek aadmi, ek ladka, aur ek ladki. Teeno ke chehre par ek ajeeb si khamoshi aur bechaini thi. Soldiers unhe dekh rahe the, lekin unhone apni jagah se hilne ki koshish nahi ki. Aadmi ne gaadi ke pichle hisse ka darwaza khola aur andar se ek lash ko kheench kar bahar laane laga. Lash ek kapde me lapeti gayi thi, lekin uska ek haath dheere se bahar latak raha tha.

Ladka aur ladki ne milkar lash ko uthaya aur jungle ke ek kone mein le jaakar bina kuch bole usse wahi dump kar diya. Unhone lash ko theek se settle karte hue ek baar bhi aapas mein koi baat nahi ki, jaise unhe pata ho ki jo ho raha hai, woh kisi bhi tarah sawaal uthana nahi chahta. Aadmi ne ek baar lash ke upar ghoor kar dekha, aur phir bina kuch kahe wapas gaadi ki taraf mud gaya.​

Army ke soldiers ye sab chup-chaap dekh rahe the. Unhone ek doosre ki taraf dekha, lekin kisi ne bhi kuch bolne ki himmat nahi ki. Senior officer ne apne haath se signal diya, aur saare soldiers apni jagah se dheere-dheere nikal kar waha se chale gaye. Jungle ki ghani andhere mein ab sirf woh lash aur us gaadi ki halka sa gungunahat bachi thi, jo dheere-dheere jungle ki ghani gehraiyon mein gum ho gaya​

Bahut hi shaandar update diya hai Dev the lover bhai....
Nice and lovely update....

 

[kas1709]

UPDATE 8

Dev, ICU ke ek kone mein khada, apne samne khade logon ko ghoor raha tha—Ananya uski chhoti behen,and Priya, aur Ayush. In logon ke chehron par shock aur emotional bechaini ka mila jula rang tha. Dev ke haathon par gundo ka khoon abhi tak sookha nahi tha, aur uske kapde jangli mitti aur khoon se bhar chuke the.​

Ananya ka dil dard se bhar gaya tha, lekin uski aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chamak thi. "Bhai..." Uski awaaz halki thi, lekin usme jitni bechaini thi, utni hi khushi bhi thi. Priya aur Ayush uske paas khade the, magar unhe bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha ki Dev sach mein unke samne khada hai ya koi sapna dekh rahe hain.

Ananya ne kuch seconds ke liye Dev ke chehre ko dekha, phir ek kadam aage badhkar kaha, "Hum sabko laga tha ki tum... tum humein chhod ke chale gaye ho, par yeh sab jhoot tha, na? Waha mom-dad sab pareshan the, fir unhone kaha tha ki tum kho gaye ho."

Dev ke chehre par ek thandi aur sukoon bhari muskaan thi, lekin uski aankhon mein uske andar ke tufan ka dard chhupa nahi paa raha tha. "Main kahan jaata, Ananya? Main tumhare liye hi zinda hoon. Yeh duniya chhodne ki himmat mere andar kabhi nahi thi."

Priya ne beech mein baat kaat di, "Tumhare saath yeh sab kisne kiya? Aur kyu kiya?"

Dev ne apne haath se machine ki ek drip uthayi aur uska khoon mitti ke saath mix hote hue dekha. Uski awaaz thandi thi, lekin usme ek ajeeb si garmi thi. "Jis ghar ko maine apna samjha, jis family ke liye maine apni jaan tak dene ko socha tha, wahi log mere maut ka kaaran bane. Unhone mujhe maara, aur jungle mein dafnaya. Lekin unhone ek baat nahi samjhi—main sirf mitti mein daba hoon, mit nahi sakta. Unhone socha tha ki yeh kahani yahin khatam ho gayi, lekin kahani toh ab shuru hoti hai. Yeh achha hua ki yeh waha aaye aur mujhe gaadi se nikaal ke yahan laaye."

Ananya ka gussa uske chehre par saaf dikh raha tha. Uski aankhon mein aansuon ke saath ek aag thi, jo uske bhai Dev ke dard ko sunne ke baad aur bhadak gayi thi. Usne ek kadam aage badhkar gusse se kaha, "Bhai, aap yeh kya keh rahe ho? Kya dad, chacha, didi... sabne milke aapko maarne ki koshish ki? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Woh toh humari family hain!"

Dev ne ek thandi saans li aur apne haath ko dheere se ghoorte hue kaha, "Ananya, sach wahi hota hai jo hum dekhte hain, lekin kabhi kabhi sach samajhne ke liye apni aankhon ke saath apna dimaag aur dil bhi lagana padta hai. Unhone mujhe dhokha diya, mujhe peeth ke peeche se maara aur jungle mein dafnaya. Unhone mujhe apne raaste ka kaanta samjha aur nikaal diya."

Ananya ki saans tez ho gayi thi. Usne apne haath ghutne par rakh liye, jaise woh apne gusse ko sambhalne ki koshish kar rahi ho. "Mujhe yaqeen nahi ho raha, bhai! Dad ne, jo mujhe har din kehte the ki family sabse badi hoti hai... Chacha ne, jo hamesha mujhe samjhate the ki insaan ko apni family ke liye kuch bhi karna chahiye... aur Sakshi didi, unhone aapke saath aisa kaise kiya?"

Dev ka chehra abhi bhi thanda tha, lekin uski aankhon mein uske andar ke toofan ka pata de rahi thi. "Ananya, sach kabhi kabhi itna kadwa hota hai ki usse samajhne ke liye himmat chahiye. Tumhare saamne unhone jo mask lagaya tha, woh ek dhoka tha. Unhone socha ki main unke kisi kaam ka nahi tha, isliye mujhe hamesha ke liye khatam kar diya. Lekin unhone yeh nahi socha tha ki Dev mar kar bhi zinda ho sakta hai."

Ananya abhi bhi apne gusse ko sambhal nahi paayi thi. Usne zor se kaha, "Nahi, mujhe dad, chacha aur didi se baat karni hogi! Mujhe sach unhi ke mooh se sunna hoga, aakhir itna kya nafrat hai aap se aur itna paisa hai toh kya karenge, paisa kon se kuwe mein daalenge!"

Dev ne Ananya ke gaal ko pakad kar, pyaar bhari nazar se dekha aur bola, "Nahi, Anu... meri laado, aisa mat sochna. Main mar chuka hoon, par sirf duniya ke liye. Tumhare liye main wahi bhai hoon jo tumhari khushi ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hai. Tumhe yahi ghar sambhalna hoga, yahin rehna hoga. Yehi tumhari jagah hai aur tum dono, Priya aur Ayush, kisi ko pata na lage ki humse milne Ananya yahan aayi thi, samjhi?"

Dono ne haan mein sir hila diya.

Ananya ne gusse aur dard bhari awaaz mein kaha, "Bhai, kaise rahoon uss ghar mein jahan un logon ne aapko maar diya? Jahan ek pal bhi guzarna meri saansien rokh deta hai?"

Dev ne uski aankhon mein dekha aur ek gahri saans lekar bola, "Meri laado, tumhe meri kasam hai. Tumhe wahi rehna hoga. Main toh apna haq kho chuka hoon, tum yeh mat karna."

Ananya ke aankhon mein aansu the, lekin usne dheere se kaha, "Bhai, un logon ke saath kaise reh sakti hoon jinhone aapka khoon kiya? Unka samna kaise karungi?"

Dev ne ek halki muskaan ke saath kaha, "Tum unka samna tabhi kar paogi jab tum strong banogi. Unhe darane ka sirf ek hi tarika hai—apne dukh aur gusse ko apni taqat banao. Main hamesha tumhare saath hoon, chahe tum mujhe dekho ya na dekho. Tumhe darna nahi hai, laado. Tumhe apne bhai ka naam roshan karna hai. Main useless raha, par tum woh galati mat karna."

Ananya ab chup thi, uski aankhon mein ek nayi roshni thi. Usne apne bhai ka haath pakad kar kaha, "Aapne jo kaha, bhai, main karungi. Lekin ek baat ka wada kijiye—agar kabhi mujhe zarurat ho, toh aap wapas aayenge."

Dev ne Ananya ke gaal pe apna haath rakha, uski aankhon mein ghoorta hua, ek halka sa muskaan ke saath bola, "Main teri shadow ki tarah tere saath hoon, Anu. Chahe tu mujhe dekhe ya na dekhe, main hamesha tere aas paas rahunga. Kabhi na kabhi tere dil mein yeh khayal aaya hoga ki main kisi kaam ka nahi hoon, hai na?"

Ananya ne kuch kehne ke liye apna muh khola, par Dev ne uske bolne se pehle hi uske haath ko pakad kar kaha, "Ruk, meri baat sun. Yeh baat toh main khud jaanta hoon ki logon ke liye main bas ek 'useless' hoon. Par yeh samajh le, main kisi kaam ka hoon ya na hoon, apni family ke liye hamesha kuch karne ki sochi hai maine. Shayad meri galti yeh thi ki maine jo bhi socha, usse karne mein zyada waqt lag gaya aur woh nahi kar paya jo family ko chahiye tha. Par tu thi, jisme ne mera saath diya. Hamesha. Ab se tu hi meri family hai."

Uski baat mein ek dard tha, jo Ananya ke dil tak pahuch raha tha. Ananya ke aankhon mein aansu aa gaye. Usne gusse aur dard ke mix mein kaha, "Bhai, aapko kabhi kisi ne samjha hi nahi. Par main jaanti hoon ki aap mere liye kya ho. Aap 'useless' nahi ho, aap mere sab kuch ho."

Ananya ne uske haath ko zor se pakad liya, jaise woh duniya ko yeh batana chahti ho ki uska bhai uske liye duniya ka sabse zaruri insaan hai.

Dev aur Ananya baatein kar rahe the, tabhi hospital ki main darwaje par ek aadmi aata hai. Dev ne aankhon se pehchana—Viper. Viper ne aane ke baad ek gehri nazar Dev par daali aur phir pyaar bhare shabdon mein kaha, "Dev, tu thik toh hai na?"

Dev ne apna sar utha kar thoda sa muskurate hue kaha, "Haan, sab theek hai. Viper, tumne nahi bachaya hota toh wahi dafan rehata."

Viper ne thoda muskurate hue jawab diya, "Aur badla tumne mujhe is gang se bachake kar diya."

Jaise hi Dev aur Ananya baatein kar rahe the, achanak hospital ke main darwaze se kuch armed army officers dikhayi diye. Unka chehra shkat tha, aur unhone turant apni rifles ko apne haathon mein sambhal liya. Dev ki nazar un par gayi, aur usne apni aankhon se unka mool uddeshya samajh liya.

Ek officer aage badhkar bola, "Dev, humein tumse kuch zaruri baatein karni hain." Uske chehre par thoda ghamand tha, lekin usne apni aankhon mein ek gehra raaz chhupa kar, apne chehre par ek thodi si muskaan ke saath bola, "Dev, humein tumse kuch zaruri baatein karni hain. Tumhare pass kuch nahi, humari baat sunna tumhare liye behtar hoga. Agar tum nahi hote, toh shayad ab tak hum yahan sabko maarne ka operation kar chuke hote. Tumhare hone se kuch ruk gaya hai."

Dev ne apni aankhon mein thoda gussa aur thodi si taqat dikhayi. Usne apni body ko thoda aur straight kiya, aur bola, "Toh tum keh rahe ho ki tumhare paas koi faisla tha, aur main tumhein rok raha hoon? Agar tumhe kisi ko maarna tha, toh tumhara kaam pehle karna chahiye tha. Main yahan kyun hoon, woh mujhe samajh nahi aata."

Jaise hi Dev ne apne jazbaat dikhaye, ek aur officer jo un sabka chief lag raha tha, aage aaya. Uska chehra aur bhi zyada shaktishali tha, aur uske aankhon mein ek ghamand tha. Usne apne haath mein jo file thi, usse zor se ghumaate hue, apne sabhi officers ko ek nishchit ishaara diya.

Chief ne apne gusse ko dabaate hue, Dev se kaha, "Tum sirf ek galati ka natija ho, Dev. Tumhein lagta hai ki tumhare decisions ke wajah se hum kuch nahi kar sakte, lekin tum bhool rahe ho ki tumhara hona sirf ek galat faisla tha. Tumne jo kuch bhi kiya hai, uska bhugatna humein aur duniya ko padega. Tumhare saath yeh jo khel ho raha hai, uska anjaam bohot kathin hoga."

Dev ne apni aankhon mein thoda aur gussa bharte hue, uske chehre par muskaan laakar jawab diya, "Agar tum samajhte ho ki main tumhare khel ka hissa hoon, toh tum galat ho. Main apni zindagi ka faisla khud karta hoon. Tum jo keh rahe ho, uska matlab mujhe samajh aata hai, lekin main kisi bhi haad tak jaa sakta hoon apni taqat dikhane ke liye."

Chief ne thodi der ke liye chup rehkar Dev ko ghoorte hue, apni muskaan ko aur zyada gehra kar diya. Phir, apni awaaz mein ek khaufnaak tezi lete hue bola, "Yeh jo taakat ki baat tum kar rahe ho na, Dev, yeh kahaan se mili hai tumhe, pata hai?"

Dev aur baaki officers yeh sunke shock ho gaye. Unhone apne chehre par hairani aur curiosity ki chhap dekhi. Dev ka chehra bhi thoda badal gaya tha. Usne apni aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chavi dekhi, jo ab tak usne nahi mehsoos ki thi. "Tumne kaha... 'taakat'?" Dev ne apni awaaz ko zyada gahra karte hue poocha.

Chief ki muskaan ab aur bhi khaufnaak ho gayi thi. "Haan, Dev. Tumhara jo yeh attitude aur yeh taqat hai, yeh sirf kisi aur se aayi hai. Tum samajh rahe ho na ki main kya keh raha hoon?" Chief ka har lafz ab zara zyada thund tha, jaise har shabd Dev ke dimaag mein ek nayi uljhan daal raha ho.

Dev ne apne haath ko dekha, apni unglion ke paas, jahan ek chhoti si chot thi, lekin woh ab waha nahi thi jahan honi chahiye thi. Uska chehra ek pal ke liye thoda badal gaya, jaise usse samajh nahi aa raha ho ki uske saath kya ho raha hai. Usne apne haath ko dheere se chhua aur mann mein ek ajeeb sa darr mehsoos kiya.

Dev ne apni awaaz ko aur gehra karte hue kaha, "Sir, jo aap kehna chahte hain, khul ke kahiye. Yeh adhoori baatein mujhe aur confuse kar rahi hain. Aur rahi baat mere hone ki, toh main jo hoon wahi hoon. Agar meri jaan bhi jaaye, toh kya fark padega?"

Chief ne Dev ke jazbaat aur uski uljhan ko samajhte hue apni file bandh ki aur usse table par rakha. Usne ek gehri saans li aur kaha, "Dev, tum jo ab dekh rahe ho, woh ek insaan ki taqat se zyada hai. Tumhare saath kuch aisa hua hai jo is duniya ke samajh se pare hai."

Dev ki aankhon mein curiosity aur zyada badh gayi. Usne thoda aage badhte hue poocha, "Aur yeh sab kyu ho raha hai? Yeh taqat jo aap keh rahe hain, yeh mujhe kahan se mili? Aur aap log mujhe is tarah kyun dekh rahe hain jaise main koi alag prani hoon?"

Chief ne dheere se muskaan laakar kaha, "Tum alag ho, Dev. Tumhare andar jo ho raha hai, woh ek galti ka natija hai. Tum ek experiment ka hissa ho, ek aisa experiment jo kabhi hona hi nahi chahiye tha. Aur woh experiment tumhe ek aam insaan se kuch aur banata ja raha hai."

Dev ne shock mein kaha, "Experiment? Main? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Main toh bas ek normal insaan hoon!"

Chief ne apne shabdon ko aur zyada ghera banate hue bola, "Tum samajh rahe ho, Dev. Tumhare haath mein jo badlav ho raha hai, woh ek signal hai. Tumhare andar ek shakti jag chuki hai, jo insano ke liye nahi hai. Tumhari jaan ab sirf tumhari nahi hai, balki woh duniya ke liye ek khatra bhi ho sakti hai."

Dev ne apni unglion ko dobara dekha, jaise woh kuch samajhne ki koshish kar raha ho. Uska dimaag ek ajeeb si uljhan mein fas gaya tha, aur uske chehre par ek mix reaction tha—gussa, shock, aur dar.

"Sir," Dev ne ek gehri saans lete hue kaha, "Aap mujhe yeh samjhaye ki yeh sab kaise huaa

Chief ne ek gehri saans li aur apni kursi se uthte hue kaha, "Dev, tumhare saath jo hua hai, woh ek kahaani hai jo sirf files aur laboratory tak seemit thi. Par ab woh haqeeqat ban chuki hai, ek aisi haqeeqat jo duniya ke liye samajhna mushkil hoga. Main tumhe sab kuch bataunga."

Chief ne ek file uthai, jisme kuch purane documents aur tasveerein thi. Usne ek tasveer Dev ke saamne rakhi, jo ek bade laboratory setup ki thi. Tasveer mein log white lab coats pehne hue the, aur beech mein ek glass chamber dikh raha tha, jisme ek insaan pada tha. Tasveer dekhte hi Dev ka chehra safed pad gaya.

"Yeh... yeh kya hai?" Dev ne shock mein kaha.

Chief ne dheere se bola, "Yeh tumhara shuruat ka safar hai, Dev. Tum ek aam insaan nahi ho. Tum ek experiment ka natija ho, aur yeh experiment ek galti thi jo kabhi hone hi nahi chahiye thi."

Ananya (gusse aur hairani ke saath): "What? Mere bhaiya aur experimental? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Sir, aap mujhe samjhaiye! Yeh sab kaise hua? Mera bhai ek experiment ka hissa nahi ho sakta!"

Chief (gambhir aur narmi bhari awaaz mein): "Beta, shaant ho jao. Tumhare bhai Dev us experiment mein directly shamil nahi the. Lekin... us experiment ka connection tumhari family se hai."

Ananya (aur zyada hairani aur tension ke saath): "Meri family? Matlab kaise? Hum log ek aam family hain! Aap kya kehna chahte hain ki mere parivaar ki wajah se woh experiment hua? Yeh baat samajh mein nahi aa rahi!"

FLASHBACK
DEV KE MURDER KI RAAT ​

Jungle ke gehraiyon mein, ek aur bhayankar cheez ho rahi thi. Army ke soldiers apne kaam mein lage hue the, lekin unka chehra bata raha tha ki woh jo kar rahe the, woh bilkul normal nahi tha. Har ek soldier ne apni aankhon mein ek ajeeb sa darr aur confusion mehsoos kiya tha.

Jungle ke ek isolated hisse mein, ek soldier ne haath mein ek hazardous substance ka container uthaya, aur apne colleagues ko dekhte hue usko sambhal kar daal raha tha. Samagri ka kaam khatam hone ko tha, lekin uske mann mein kuch sawal the.​

Tabhi ek junior officer, jo thoda sa nerve-wracking situation mein tha, ne apne senior officer se kaha, "Sir, humein yeh sab iss jungle mein nahi karna chahiye. Yaha log aas-paas ho sakte hain, aur agar yeh baat unhe pata chal gayi, toh... humari poori team ko mushkil ho sakti hai."

Uske shabdon ne kuch der ke liye ek shanti ka mahaul banaya. Sabhi soldiers thoda ruke, aur har koi apne apne kaam ko rok kar us junior officer ki baat sunne laga. Ek lamha laga ki senior officer is baat par kuch jawab dega.​

Lekin, senior officer ne apne gas mask ko dheere se utar kar, apni aankhon mein gussa aur tension ka mixture dikhate hue usko daant diya. "Tum samajh nahi rahe ho, tumhe apne kaam pe dhyan dena chahiye. Agar hum yeh kaam yaha nahi karenge, toh tumhare ghar tak yeh cheez pahuch jayegi aur tumhe pata bhi nahi chalega. Tumhaari fikr humare liye second priority hai. Yaha sirf ek kaam hai—survival. Aur yeh hum jo kar rahe hain, woh humari zindagi ke liye zaroori hai aur mere seniors ne batata hai yeh sab biodegradable items and cheeze hai ."

Junior officer ne chup ho kar apna sir neeche kar diya, aur sabhi soldiers ne apne apne kaam mein wapas se lagna shuru kar diya. Senior officer ki baat mein jo gussa tha, woh sab par bhari pad gaya. Koi bhi ab kisi sawal ka jawab nahi chahta tha.

Jab samagri ko dispose kiya jaa raha tha, ek soldier ne apne haath se ek aur container bhar diya, aur sabhi ko ek instruction diya, "Yeh kaam khatam karo, aur kisi bhi cheez ki tasveer mat lena. Koi bhi record nahi chahiye. Sab kuch jaise hua, waise rahne do."

Sare soldiers ne sirf nod kiya, aur phir se woh gas mask ke saath apna kaam shuru kar diya. Dheere dheere, yeh puri kahani ab kisi aise raaz ki taraf badh rahi thi jo kabhi samajh mein nahi aane wala tha. Aur woh junior officer apni baat par chhup gaya tha, kyunki usne samajh liya tha ki kabhi kabhi, kisi kaam ke liye kuch cheezein zaroori hoti hain jo aap samajh nahi paate.

Jungle ke gehre kone mein, soldiers apna kaam khatam kar chuke the. Hazardous substances ko niptane ka kaam puri tarah se complete ho chuka tha. Ab sirf ek ajeeb si khamoshi thi jo unke aas-paas ke mahaul mein chha gayi thi. ​

Soldiers ek line mein khade the, apne equipment ko pack karte hue, aur kuch apne gas mask utar kar gehri saansein le rahe the.​

Tabhi, dur se ek ajeeb si awaaz unke kaan mein padhi—pehle dheemi, lekin dheere-dheere woh awaaz tez hone lagi. Ek gaadi ke engine ki gungunahat jungle ki khamoshi ko tod rahi thi. Ek soldier ne turant alert hote hue apne senior ko dekha aur bola, “Sir, koi gaadi yaha ki taraf aa rahi hai.”​

Sabhi ke chehre par ek sa tension waapas laut aaya. Senior officer ne haath utha kar sabko sanket diya ki chup raho aur apni jagah bane raho. Saare soldiers apne haath apne hathiyaar par rakhe, jungle ke andhere mein chupne ki tayyari karte hue. Gaadi ki awaaz ab aur tez hone lagi thi, jaise woh unke bilkul kareeb aa rahi ho. Har ek soldier ke dil ki dhadkan ab badh chuki thi.

Senior officer ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha, “Koi roshni nahi, koi harkat nahi. Pehle dekho yeh log kaun hain.” Sabhi soldiers ab us gaadi ke kareeb aane ka intezar kar rahe the, aur jungle ka mahaul aur bhi daravani aur chintajnak ho chuka tha.

Gaadi ki awaaz ab kareeb aane lagi thi, aur phir headlights ki roshni dense jungle ke pedon ke beech se chamakne lagi. Soldiers apni jagah par chup-chaap khade the, weapons haath mein thaame, har ek moment ko gaur se dekh rahe the. Tabhi ek purani car gaadi unke nazar ke saamne aakar ruki. Gaadi ka engine band hua, aur kuch lamhon ke liye waha sirf ek bhari khamoshi chha gayi.​

Phir, car ka darwaza dheere se khula, aur usme se teen log bahar nikle—ek aadmi, ek ladka, aur ek ladki. Teeno ke chehre par ek ajeeb si khamoshi aur bechaini thi. Soldiers unhe dekh rahe the, lekin unhone apni jagah se hilne ki koshish nahi ki. Aadmi ne gaadi ke pichle hisse ka darwaza khola aur andar se ek lash ko kheench kar bahar laane laga. Lash ek kapde me lapeti gayi thi, lekin uska ek haath dheere se bahar latak raha tha.

Ladka aur ladki ne milkar lash ko uthaya aur jungle ke ek kone mein le jaakar bina kuch bole usse wahi dump kar diya. Unhone lash ko theek se settle karte hue ek baar bhi aapas mein koi baat nahi ki, jaise unhe pata ho ki jo ho raha hai, woh kisi bhi tarah sawaal uthana nahi chahta. Aadmi ne ek baar lash ke upar ghoor kar dekha, aur phir bina kuch kahe wapas gaadi ki taraf mud gaya.​

Army ke soldiers ye sab chup-chaap dekh rahe the. Unhone ek doosre ki taraf dekha, lekin kisi ne bhi kuch bolne ki himmat nahi ki. Senior officer ne apne haath se signal diya, aur saare soldiers apni jagah se dheere-dheere nikal kar waha se chale gaye. Jungle ki ghani andhere mein ab sirf woh lash aur us gaadi ki halka sa gungunahat bachi thi, jo dheere-dheere jungle ki ghani gehraiyon mein gum ho gaya​

Nice update....

 

[RAAZ]

UPDATE 8

Dev, ICU ke ek kone mein khada, apne samne khade logon ko ghoor raha tha—Ananya uski chhoti behen,and Priya, aur Ayush. In logon ke chehron par shock aur emotional bechaini ka mila jula rang tha. Dev ke haathon par gundo ka khoon abhi tak sookha nahi tha, aur uske kapde jangli mitti aur khoon se bhar chuke the.​

Ananya ka dil dard se bhar gaya tha, lekin uski aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chamak thi. "Bhai..." Uski awaaz halki thi, lekin usme jitni bechaini thi, utni hi khushi bhi thi. Priya aur Ayush uske paas khade the, magar unhe bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha ki Dev sach mein unke samne khada hai ya koi sapna dekh rahe hain.

Ananya ne kuch seconds ke liye Dev ke chehre ko dekha, phir ek kadam aage badhkar kaha, "Hum sabko laga tha ki tum... tum humein chhod ke chale gaye ho, par yeh sab jhoot tha, na? Waha mom-dad sab pareshan the, fir unhone kaha tha ki tum kho gaye ho."

Dev ke chehre par ek thandi aur sukoon bhari muskaan thi, lekin uski aankhon mein uske andar ke tufan ka dard chhupa nahi paa raha tha. "Main kahan jaata, Ananya? Main tumhare liye hi zinda hoon. Yeh duniya chhodne ki himmat mere andar kabhi nahi thi."

Priya ne beech mein baat kaat di, "Tumhare saath yeh sab kisne kiya? Aur kyu kiya?"

Dev ne apne haath se machine ki ek drip uthayi aur uska khoon mitti ke saath mix hote hue dekha. Uski awaaz thandi thi, lekin usme ek ajeeb si garmi thi. "Jis ghar ko maine apna samjha, jis family ke liye maine apni jaan tak dene ko socha tha, wahi log mere maut ka kaaran bane. Unhone mujhe maara, aur jungle mein dafnaya. Lekin unhone ek baat nahi samjhi—main sirf mitti mein daba hoon, mit nahi sakta. Unhone socha tha ki yeh kahani yahin khatam ho gayi, lekin kahani toh ab shuru hoti hai. Yeh achha hua ki yeh waha aaye aur mujhe gaadi se nikaal ke yahan laaye."

Ananya ka gussa uske chehre par saaf dikh raha tha. Uski aankhon mein aansuon ke saath ek aag thi, jo uske bhai Dev ke dard ko sunne ke baad aur bhadak gayi thi. Usne ek kadam aage badhkar gusse se kaha, "Bhai, aap yeh kya keh rahe ho? Kya dad, chacha, didi... sabne milke aapko maarne ki koshish ki? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Woh toh humari family hain!"

Dev ne ek thandi saans li aur apne haath ko dheere se ghoorte hue kaha, "Ananya, sach wahi hota hai jo hum dekhte hain, lekin kabhi kabhi sach samajhne ke liye apni aankhon ke saath apna dimaag aur dil bhi lagana padta hai. Unhone mujhe dhokha diya, mujhe peeth ke peeche se maara aur jungle mein dafnaya. Unhone mujhe apne raaste ka kaanta samjha aur nikaal diya."

Ananya ki saans tez ho gayi thi. Usne apne haath ghutne par rakh liye, jaise woh apne gusse ko sambhalne ki koshish kar rahi ho. "Mujhe yaqeen nahi ho raha, bhai! Dad ne, jo mujhe har din kehte the ki family sabse badi hoti hai... Chacha ne, jo hamesha mujhe samjhate the ki insaan ko apni family ke liye kuch bhi karna chahiye... aur Sakshi didi, unhone aapke saath aisa kaise kiya?"

Dev ka chehra abhi bhi thanda tha, lekin uski aankhon mein uske andar ke toofan ka pata de rahi thi. "Ananya, sach kabhi kabhi itna kadwa hota hai ki usse samajhne ke liye himmat chahiye. Tumhare saamne unhone jo mask lagaya tha, woh ek dhoka tha. Unhone socha ki main unke kisi kaam ka nahi tha, isliye mujhe hamesha ke liye khatam kar diya. Lekin unhone yeh nahi socha tha ki Dev mar kar bhi zinda ho sakta hai."

Ananya abhi bhi apne gusse ko sambhal nahi paayi thi. Usne zor se kaha, "Nahi, mujhe dad, chacha aur didi se baat karni hogi! Mujhe sach unhi ke mooh se sunna hoga, aakhir itna kya nafrat hai aap se aur itna paisa hai toh kya karenge, paisa kon se kuwe mein daalenge!"

Dev ne Ananya ke gaal ko pakad kar, pyaar bhari nazar se dekha aur bola, "Nahi, Anu... meri laado, aisa mat sochna. Main mar chuka hoon, par sirf duniya ke liye. Tumhare liye main wahi bhai hoon jo tumhari khushi ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hai. Tumhe yahi ghar sambhalna hoga, yahin rehna hoga. Yehi tumhari jagah hai aur tum dono, Priya aur Ayush, kisi ko pata na lage ki humse milne Ananya yahan aayi thi, samjhi?"

Dono ne haan mein sir hila diya.

Ananya ne gusse aur dard bhari awaaz mein kaha, "Bhai, kaise rahoon uss ghar mein jahan un logon ne aapko maar diya? Jahan ek pal bhi guzarna meri saansien rokh deta hai?"

Dev ne uski aankhon mein dekha aur ek gahri saans lekar bola, "Meri laado, tumhe meri kasam hai. Tumhe wahi rehna hoga. Main toh apna haq kho chuka hoon, tum yeh mat karna."

Ananya ke aankhon mein aansu the, lekin usne dheere se kaha, "Bhai, un logon ke saath kaise reh sakti hoon jinhone aapka khoon kiya? Unka samna kaise karungi?"

Dev ne ek halki muskaan ke saath kaha, "Tum unka samna tabhi kar paogi jab tum strong banogi. Unhe darane ka sirf ek hi tarika hai—apne dukh aur gusse ko apni taqat banao. Main hamesha tumhare saath hoon, chahe tum mujhe dekho ya na dekho. Tumhe darna nahi hai, laado. Tumhe apne bhai ka naam roshan karna hai. Main useless raha, par tum woh galati mat karna."

Ananya ab chup thi, uski aankhon mein ek nayi roshni thi. Usne apne bhai ka haath pakad kar kaha, "Aapne jo kaha, bhai, main karungi. Lekin ek baat ka wada kijiye—agar kabhi mujhe zarurat ho, toh aap wapas aayenge."

Dev ne Ananya ke gaal pe apna haath rakha, uski aankhon mein ghoorta hua, ek halka sa muskaan ke saath bola, "Main teri shadow ki tarah tere saath hoon, Anu. Chahe tu mujhe dekhe ya na dekhe, main hamesha tere aas paas rahunga. Kabhi na kabhi tere dil mein yeh khayal aaya hoga ki main kisi kaam ka nahi hoon, hai na?"

Ananya ne kuch kehne ke liye apna muh khola, par Dev ne uske bolne se pehle hi uske haath ko pakad kar kaha, "Ruk, meri baat sun. Yeh baat toh main khud jaanta hoon ki logon ke liye main bas ek 'useless' hoon. Par yeh samajh le, main kisi kaam ka hoon ya na hoon, apni family ke liye hamesha kuch karne ki sochi hai maine. Shayad meri galti yeh thi ki maine jo bhi socha, usse karne mein zyada waqt lag gaya aur woh nahi kar paya jo family ko chahiye tha. Par tu thi, jisme ne mera saath diya. Hamesha. Ab se tu hi meri family hai."

Uski baat mein ek dard tha, jo Ananya ke dil tak pahuch raha tha. Ananya ke aankhon mein aansu aa gaye. Usne gusse aur dard ke mix mein kaha, "Bhai, aapko kabhi kisi ne samjha hi nahi. Par main jaanti hoon ki aap mere liye kya ho. Aap 'useless' nahi ho, aap mere sab kuch ho."

Ananya ne uske haath ko zor se pakad liya, jaise woh duniya ko yeh batana chahti ho ki uska bhai uske liye duniya ka sabse zaruri insaan hai.

Dev aur Ananya baatein kar rahe the, tabhi hospital ki main darwaje par ek aadmi aata hai. Dev ne aankhon se pehchana—Viper. Viper ne aane ke baad ek gehri nazar Dev par daali aur phir pyaar bhare shabdon mein kaha, "Dev, tu thik toh hai na?"

Dev ne apna sar utha kar thoda sa muskurate hue kaha, "Haan, sab theek hai. Viper, tumne nahi bachaya hota toh wahi dafan rehata."

Viper ne thoda muskurate hue jawab diya, "Aur badla tumne mujhe is gang se bachake kar diya."

Jaise hi Dev aur Ananya baatein kar rahe the, achanak hospital ke main darwaze se kuch armed army officers dikhayi diye. Unka chehra shkat tha, aur unhone turant apni rifles ko apne haathon mein sambhal liya. Dev ki nazar un par gayi, aur usne apni aankhon se unka mool uddeshya samajh liya.

Ek officer aage badhkar bola, "Dev, humein tumse kuch zaruri baatein karni hain." Uske chehre par thoda ghamand tha, lekin usne apni aankhon mein ek gehra raaz chhupa kar, apne chehre par ek thodi si muskaan ke saath bola, "Dev, humein tumse kuch zaruri baatein karni hain. Tumhare pass kuch nahi, humari baat sunna tumhare liye behtar hoga. Agar tum nahi hote, toh shayad ab tak hum yahan sabko maarne ka operation kar chuke hote. Tumhare hone se kuch ruk gaya hai."

Dev ne apni aankhon mein thoda gussa aur thodi si taqat dikhayi. Usne apni body ko thoda aur straight kiya, aur bola, "Toh tum keh rahe ho ki tumhare paas koi faisla tha, aur main tumhein rok raha hoon? Agar tumhe kisi ko maarna tha, toh tumhara kaam pehle karna chahiye tha. Main yahan kyun hoon, woh mujhe samajh nahi aata."

Jaise hi Dev ne apne jazbaat dikhaye, ek aur officer jo un sabka chief lag raha tha, aage aaya. Uska chehra aur bhi zyada shaktishali tha, aur uske aankhon mein ek ghamand tha. Usne apne haath mein jo file thi, usse zor se ghumaate hue, apne sabhi officers ko ek nishchit ishaara diya.

Chief ne apne gusse ko dabaate hue, Dev se kaha, "Tum sirf ek galati ka natija ho, Dev. Tumhein lagta hai ki tumhare decisions ke wajah se hum kuch nahi kar sakte, lekin tum bhool rahe ho ki tumhara hona sirf ek galat faisla tha. Tumne jo kuch bhi kiya hai, uska bhugatna humein aur duniya ko padega. Tumhare saath yeh jo khel ho raha hai, uska anjaam bohot kathin hoga."

Dev ne apni aankhon mein thoda aur gussa bharte hue, uske chehre par muskaan laakar jawab diya, "Agar tum samajhte ho ki main tumhare khel ka hissa hoon, toh tum galat ho. Main apni zindagi ka faisla khud karta hoon. Tum jo keh rahe ho, uska matlab mujhe samajh aata hai, lekin main kisi bhi haad tak jaa sakta hoon apni taqat dikhane ke liye."

Chief ne thodi der ke liye chup rehkar Dev ko ghoorte hue, apni muskaan ko aur zyada gehra kar diya. Phir, apni awaaz mein ek khaufnaak tezi lete hue bola, "Yeh jo taakat ki baat tum kar rahe ho na, Dev, yeh kahaan se mili hai tumhe, pata hai?"

Dev aur baaki officers yeh sunke shock ho gaye. Unhone apne chehre par hairani aur curiosity ki chhap dekhi. Dev ka chehra bhi thoda badal gaya tha. Usne apni aankhon mein ek ajeeb si chavi dekhi, jo ab tak usne nahi mehsoos ki thi. "Tumne kaha... 'taakat'?" Dev ne apni awaaz ko zyada gahra karte hue poocha.

Chief ki muskaan ab aur bhi khaufnaak ho gayi thi. "Haan, Dev. Tumhara jo yeh attitude aur yeh taqat hai, yeh sirf kisi aur se aayi hai. Tum samajh rahe ho na ki main kya keh raha hoon?" Chief ka har lafz ab zara zyada thund tha, jaise har shabd Dev ke dimaag mein ek nayi uljhan daal raha ho.

Dev ne apne haath ko dekha, apni unglion ke paas, jahan ek chhoti si chot thi, lekin woh ab waha nahi thi jahan honi chahiye thi. Uska chehra ek pal ke liye thoda badal gaya, jaise usse samajh nahi aa raha ho ki uske saath kya ho raha hai. Usne apne haath ko dheere se chhua aur mann mein ek ajeeb sa darr mehsoos kiya.

Dev ne apni awaaz ko aur gehra karte hue kaha, "Sir, jo aap kehna chahte hain, khul ke kahiye. Yeh adhoori baatein mujhe aur confuse kar rahi hain. Aur rahi baat mere hone ki, toh main jo hoon wahi hoon. Agar meri jaan bhi jaaye, toh kya fark padega?"

Chief ne Dev ke jazbaat aur uski uljhan ko samajhte hue apni file bandh ki aur usse table par rakha. Usne ek gehri saans li aur kaha, "Dev, tum jo ab dekh rahe ho, woh ek insaan ki taqat se zyada hai. Tumhare saath kuch aisa hua hai jo is duniya ke samajh se pare hai."

Dev ki aankhon mein curiosity aur zyada badh gayi. Usne thoda aage badhte hue poocha, "Aur yeh sab kyu ho raha hai? Yeh taqat jo aap keh rahe hain, yeh mujhe kahan se mili? Aur aap log mujhe is tarah kyun dekh rahe hain jaise main koi alag prani hoon?"

Chief ne dheere se muskaan laakar kaha, "Tum alag ho, Dev. Tumhare andar jo ho raha hai, woh ek galti ka natija hai. Tum ek experiment ka hissa ho, ek aisa experiment jo kabhi hona hi nahi chahiye tha. Aur woh experiment tumhe ek aam insaan se kuch aur banata ja raha hai."

Dev ne shock mein kaha, "Experiment? Main? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Main toh bas ek normal insaan hoon!"

Chief ne apne shabdon ko aur zyada ghera banate hue bola, "Tum samajh rahe ho, Dev. Tumhare haath mein jo badlav ho raha hai, woh ek signal hai. Tumhare andar ek shakti jag chuki hai, jo insano ke liye nahi hai. Tumhari jaan ab sirf tumhari nahi hai, balki woh duniya ke liye ek khatra bhi ho sakti hai."

Dev ne apni unglion ko dobara dekha, jaise woh kuch samajhne ki koshish kar raha ho. Uska dimaag ek ajeeb si uljhan mein fas gaya tha, aur uske chehre par ek mix reaction tha—gussa, shock, aur dar.

"Sir," Dev ne ek gehri saans lete hue kaha, "Aap mujhe yeh samjhaye ki yeh sab kaise huaa

Chief ne ek gehri saans li aur apni kursi se uthte hue kaha, "Dev, tumhare saath jo hua hai, woh ek kahaani hai jo sirf files aur laboratory tak seemit thi. Par ab woh haqeeqat ban chuki hai, ek aisi haqeeqat jo duniya ke liye samajhna mushkil hoga. Main tumhe sab kuch bataunga."

Chief ne ek file uthai, jisme kuch purane documents aur tasveerein thi. Usne ek tasveer Dev ke saamne rakhi, jo ek bade laboratory setup ki thi. Tasveer mein log white lab coats pehne hue the, aur beech mein ek glass chamber dikh raha tha, jisme ek insaan pada tha. Tasveer dekhte hi Dev ka chehra safed pad gaya.

"Yeh... yeh kya hai?" Dev ne shock mein kaha.

Chief ne dheere se bola, "Yeh tumhara shuruat ka safar hai, Dev. Tum ek aam insaan nahi ho. Tum ek experiment ka natija ho, aur yeh experiment ek galti thi jo kabhi hone hi nahi chahiye thi."

Ananya (gusse aur hairani ke saath): "What? Mere bhaiya aur experimental? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Sir, aap mujhe samjhaiye! Yeh sab kaise hua? Mera bhai ek experiment ka hissa nahi ho sakta!"

Chief (gambhir aur narmi bhari awaaz mein): "Beta, shaant ho jao. Tumhare bhai Dev us experiment mein directly shamil nahi the. Lekin... us experiment ka connection tumhari family se hai."

Ananya (aur zyada hairani aur tension ke saath): "Meri family? Matlab kaise? Hum log ek aam family hain! Aap kya kehna chahte hain ki mere parivaar ki wajah se woh experiment hua? Yeh baat samajh mein nahi aa rahi!"

DEV KE MURDER KI RAAT ​

Jungle ke gehraiyon mein, ek aur bhayankar cheez ho rahi thi. Army ke soldiers apne kaam mein lage hue the, lekin unka chehra bata raha tha ki woh jo kar rahe the, woh bilkul normal nahi tha. Har ek soldier ne apni aankhon mein ek ajeeb sa darr aur confusion mehsoos kiya tha.

Dheere dheere, yeh puri kahani ab kisi aise raaz ki taraf badh rahi thi jo kabhi samajh mein nahi aane wala tha. Aur woh junior officer apni baat par chhup gaya tha, kyunki usne samajh liya tha ki kabhi kabhi, kisi kaam ke liye kuch cheezein zaroori hoti hain jo aap samajh nahi paate.

Jungle ke gehre kone mein, soldiers apna kaam khatam kar chuke the. Hazardous substances ko niptane ka kaam puri tarah se complete ho chuka tha. Ab sirf ek ajeeb si khamoshi thi jo unke aas-paas ke mahaul mein chha gayi thi. ​

Soldiers ek line mein khade the, apne equipment ko pack karte hue, aur kuch apne gas mask utar kar gehri saansein le rahe the.​

Tabhi, dur se ek ajeeb si awaaz unke kaan mein padhi—pehle dheemi, lekin dheere-dheere woh awaaz tez hone lagi. Ek gaadi ke engine ki gungunahat jungle ki khamoshi ko tod rahi thi. Ek soldier ne turant alert hote hue apne senior ko dekha aur bola, “Sir, koi gaadi yaha ki taraf aa rahi hai.”​

Sabhi ke chehre par ek sa tension waapas laut aaya. Senior officer ne haath utha kar sabko sanket diya ki chup raho aur apni jagah bane raho. Saare soldiers apne haath apne hathiyaar par rakhe, jungle ke andhere mein chupne ki tayyari karte hue. Gaadi ki awaaz ab aur tez hone lagi thi, jaise woh unke bilkul kareeb aa rahi ho. Har ek soldier ke dil ki dhadkan ab badh chuki thi.

Senior officer ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha, “Koi roshni nahi, koi harkat nahi. Pehle dekho yeh log kaun hain.” Sabhi soldiers ab us gaadi ke kareeb aane ka intezar kar rahe the, aur jungle ka mahaul aur bhi daravani aur chintajnak ho chuka tha.

Gaadi ki awaaz ab kareeb aane lagi thi, aur phir headlights ki roshni dense jungle ke pedon ke beech se chamakne lagi. Soldiers apni jagah par chup-chaap khade the, weapons haath mein thaame, har ek moment ko gaur se dekh rahe the. Tabhi ek purani car gaadi unke nazar ke saamne aakar ruki. Gaadi ka engine band hua, aur kuch lamhon ke liye waha sirf ek bhari khamoshi chha gayi.​

Phir, car ka darwaza dheere se khula, aur usme se teen log bahar nikle—ek aadmi, ek ladka, aur ek ladki. Teeno ke chehre par ek ajeeb si khamoshi aur bechaini thi. Soldiers unhe dekh rahe the, lekin unhone apni jagah se hilne ki koshish nahi ki. Aadmi ne gaadi ke pichle hisse ka darwaza khola aur andar se ek lash ko kheench kar bahar laane laga. Lash ek kapde me lapeti gayi thi, lekin uska ek haath dheere se bahar latak raha tha.

Ladka aur ladki ne milkar lash ko uthaya aur jungle ke ek kone mein le jaakar bina kuch bole usse wahi dump kar diya. Unhone lash ko theek se settle karte hue ek baar bhi aapas mein koi baat nahi ki, jaise unhe pata ho ki jo ho raha hai, woh kisi bhi tarah sawaal uthana nahi chahta. Aadmi ne ek baar lash ke upar ghoor kar dekha, aur phir bina kuch kahe wapas gaadi ki taraf mud gaya.​

Army ke soldiers ye sab chup-chaap dekh rahe the. Unhone ek doosre ki taraf dekha, lekin kisi ne bhi kuch bolne ki himmat nahi ki. Senior officer ne apne haath se signal diya, aur saare soldiers apni jagah se dheere-dheere nikal kar waha se chale gaye. Jungle ki ghani andhere mein ab sirf woh lash aur us gaadi ki halka sa gungunahat bachi thi, jo dheere-dheere jungle ki ghani gehraiyon mein gum ho gaya​

Is flashback ne bohat kuch clear sa kia hai magar abhi bhi bohat se RAAZ. adhurey hai jaisay biodegradable substance ko kiyo waha dafan kar rahey they.
Aur jab 3 logo ko crime kartey dekha to as a soldier kyu nahi action kia balki waha per sab dekh kar nikal gaye.
Shayad next update me aur clear ho jayega magar ek cheez hai kahani pechinda hoti jaa rahi hai maza aayega. ​
