Chapter 2 ~ It Was Not Enough
kuchh hee der baad, usakee nazar usake gale mein pahane hue pendent par padee, jisake pahale usakee bhauhen thodee see bandhee huee theen.
"aap abhee bhee is bekaar etharaston ko rakh rahe hain? maava pahale hee pooree tarah se sookh chuka hai. agar tum chaaho to main tumhen ek naya eetharaston upahaar mein de sakati hoon. paisa koee mudda nahin hai," ledee enivs ne apanee mej par lautate samay laaparavaahee se baat kee.
vaan ne apana sir hilaane se pahale bade neele patthar par nazar daalee, jisamen latakan par laalee kee ek boond jamee huee thee.
“geehenna kshetr kee khoj mein apane maata-pita kee jaan ganvaane ke baad mere maata-pita ko yaad karane ke lie mere paas bas itana hee bacha hai.”
usane hamesha socha tha ki ho sakata hai ki etharaston mein dhokha dene kee kshamata ho ya duniya mein jeevit rahane mein usakee madad karane ke lie kuchh aisa ho jaise kahaaniyon mein sabhee traansamaigretar karate hain.
kaash, vah pichhale do varshon mein niraasha ke alaava kuchh nahin kar paata.
"kshama karen ..." ledee enivase ne maaphee maangee.
"koee baat nahin, ledee eneevase. aap ek nek chudail hain, aur main sirph ek bekaar naukar hoon jo chudailon kee doosaree peedhee kee doosaree peedhee kee tarah apanee jeevan aabha nahin jaga sakata. mujhase maafee maangane kee zaroorat nahin hai.” vaan ne laaparavaahee se sir hilaaya.
jaise hee rikavaree spel ne usake shareer ko theek karana jaaree rakha aur usakee choton ko door kiya, vaan ne reeding tebal ke paas ek seet lee aur maijik kristal riekshan par ek aadhee padhee huee kitaab utha lee.
"jab ham akele hote hain, to ek chudail aur usake naukar ke beech koee antar nahin hota hai. keval ek purush aur ek mahila. yadi aap vaastav mein bekaar the jaisa ki aapane daava kiya tha, to aapako is nijee kaaryaalay mein anumati nahin dee jaegee, gyaan kee anamol pustakon ko padhane ke lie keval chudailon ko prashikshan mein padhane kee anumati hai.
ledee eneevase ke hothon par ek muskaan aa gaee aur phir udaas hokar boleen, "main aapakee us buddhimatta aur adviteey soch prakriya ko mahatv detee hoon. aur sach kahoon to, agar tum ek chudail ke roop mein paida huee hotee, to samajhadaar vidvaan kee upaadhi tumhaaree hotee.
"agar, lekin main vaastav mein prasiddhi jaisee cheejon kee paravaah nahin karata. mujhe ek aadamee ke roop mein janm lene par garv hai, bhale hee main khud ko jis bhee sthiti mein paata hoon," vaan ne shaanti se javaab diya aur apane likhit nots vaalee ek daraaj ko baahar nikaala.
vaan kee baaten sunakar ledee eneevase ne halkee muskaan ke saath apana sir hilaaya. ek aadamee hone ke baare mein kya achchha tha? ve keval chudailon ke saaye mein hee rah sakate hain.
lekin phir, agar vaan ek chudail thee, to use usaka anubhav nahin hoga - aham, koee baat nahin. vah vivaadit mahasoos kar rahee thee.
kuchh hee samay baad, ledee eneevase ne laaparavaahee se poochhataachh karane se pahale achaanak kuchh yaad kiya, "aapaka vah hathiyaar projekt kaisa chal raha hai, vaan?"
eemaanadaaree se javaab dene se pahale vaan ek pal ke lie ruka, "ledee enivase, yah apane antim charan mein hai. ek baar mein-"
BOOM!
“sunie! mere naukaron ko chhoone kee tumhaaree himmat kaise huee! prashikshan mein yuva chudail bhaunkane lagee.
ledee enivs ne chaar pichhale naukaron mein se ek par nazar daalee, jinake pair shuroo mein maina bulet se toot gae the, jo yuva chudail ke peechhe khade the.
"yah aapake lie ledee enivs hai, yuvatee. mere naukar ko pahale dhamakaane ke lie ve isake laayak the."
ledee eneevase ne beparavaahee se javaab diya.
"hamf!"
prashikshan mein yuva chudail ne kaha,
"vaise bhee yah ek bekaar naukar hai. to kya hua agar unhonne use dhamakaaya ?! bekaar kee cheejen mar jaanee chaahie!"
prashikshan mein yuva chudail ne maarane ke iraade se ek taatvik mantr, aag ka gola banaane se pahale udaaseen vaan ko turant dekha.
haalaanki, aag ka gola turant titar-bitar ho gaya. jab vah abhee bhee apanee mej ke peechhe baithee thee, to ledee enivs kee ungaliyon ke ek tej jhatakon ke saath ek maana bulet ne use paar kar liya tha.
“meree maujoodagee mein mere naukar par hamala karane kee himmat? lagata hai tum apanee jagah bhool gaee ho, isaabel. kya mujhe aapako yah sikhaane ke lie ek aadhikaarik chunautee denee chaahie ki aap is akaadamee mein kahaan khade hain?"
ledee eneevase ne thandepan se baat kee.
thodee der baad, usane ek thandee muskaan ke saath joda,
"mujhe yakeen hai ki kaee pyaase naukar manch par aapake nange shareer ko dekhana chaahenge, jab main aapako sabake saamane apamaanit kar chukee hoon."
isaabel ledee enivs kee dhamakee ko sunane ke baad abhivyakti mein thode badalaav ke saath ladakhada gaee,
"main maanatee hoon ki vartamaan mein mera koee mukaabala nahin hai. lekin bhale hee main tumhaare saamane use khud ko saja nahin de sakatee, phir bhee main apane naukar se mere lie yah karava sakatee hoon!
"aadhikaarik chunautiyon ke baahar chudailon ke beech hinsa nishiddh hai, lekin jab koee any chudail bhee maujood ho to aapako naukaron ke beech vivaad mein hastakshep karane kee anumati nahin hai! aap keval apane naukar kee akshamata ko dosh de sakate hain!"
"lug, us bekaar naukar ko mere lie maaro!" isaabel ne aadesh diya.
"Yes! My Lady."
bahut jald, vaan ko naukar lug dvaara haath mein apanee kitaab ke saath apanee seet se utha liya gaya, isase pahale ki usake chehare ko bina javaabee kaarravaee ke band kar diya gaya.
lady eneevase ka chehara thanda pad gaya, isase pahale ki vah thand se bolee,
"vaan, main tumhen vaapas ladane kee anumati detee hoon!"
"Yes my lady" lug kee pakad ko kushalata se todane se pahale vaan ke honth muskarae.
vah bas un shabdon ka intajaar kar raha tha.
patuee!
usakee naak se khoon tapak raha tha aur usake munh se thook nikal raha tha, isase pahale ki vaan ne apana munh ponchha, "aapake mukke duvail ke ghoonse se bhee kamajor hain."
"maut ka pranay nivedan!"
apanee mutthiyon ke saath aage badhane se pahale lvug kee abhivyakti gaharee ho gaee. haalaanki, unake ghoonse shaaleenata se bach gae kyonki vaan ne apane haath mein maijik kristal riekshan buk band kar dee.
"phisalan thoda kameene! chakama dena band karo aur mujhase lado!" lug dahaada.dahaada
"paashavik bal kuchh hal nahin karata hai." bhaashan dene se pahale vaan ne kadee nazar se apana sir thoda hilaaya, “gyaan hee shakti hai. us ka anubhav karen!"
BANG!
vaan ke haath mein maujood motee kitaab ne lug ke sir par tejee se prahaar kiya, isase pahale ki vah koee pratikriya de paata, jisase use chakkar aane lage.
haalaanki, vah keval itana hee soch saka, gyaan hee shakti hai se usaka kya matalab hai? kyonki usane lagabhag gusse se khoon kee khaansee kee thee.
isase pahale ki lug apana asar theek kar paata, vaan ne lug ke sir par vaar karane ke lie motee kitaab ka istemaal karana jaaree rakha, lagaataar chot lagane se vyakti ko chaunka diya.
yah dekhakar ki usaka naukar haar raha hai, isaabel kee abhivyakti badasoorat ho gaee, isase pahale ki usane chupake se vaan par dabaav daala aur usake shareer ko kshan bhar ke lie sthir kar diya.
phir bhee, lug ke theek hone ke lie bas itana hee samay kaaphee tha.
vaan ko achaanak chhaatee mein aabha-vardhit mukka maara gaya, jisane turant usakee haddiyon ko chakanaachoor kar diya aur use vaapas gulel se uda diya kyonki usane agalee baar apane munh se khoon ka chhidakaav kiya.
usake toote hue shareer ke jameen par girane se pahale usaka khoon daraar vaalee kankreet kee deevaar se takara gaya tha, usake shareer mein chhed kie gae chhed se bahut khoon bah raha tha.
to yah aisa hai jo aabha ke saath kisee badhee huee cheej se takaraane jaisa mahasoos hota hai? vaan ne socha ki vah gatiheen hokar leta hai, apane khoon mein bhigo raha hai jabaki bamushkil apanee chetana ko pakad raha hai.
kisee ne dhyaan nahin diya ki vaan ke pet par letane ke kaaran etharaston ne badee maatra mein rakt ko jaldee se avashoshit kar liya.
Ding!
<Sufficient blood tribute has been made>
<System synchronization has been commenced>
khoon se lathapath etharaston pendent gaayab ho gaya kyonki achaanak soochana vaan ke sir mein ghus gaee, jisase use atyadhik aakrosh se ek aur munh se khoon baahar nikaalane ke lie majaboor hona pada.
paryaapt rakt shraddhaanjali...? ka putr…
usane vaastav mein pahale eetharaston par apana khoon tapakaane kee koshish kee thee, yah pahalee cheej thee jise usane aajamaaya tha, aur us par kaee maukon par.
kaun jaanata tha ki samasya khetee kee kahaaniyon kee tarah khoon tapakane ka maamala nahin hai, balki paryaapt khoon nahin tapakane ka maamala hai.
've do saal kee peeda...'
"vaan!"
ledee eneevase ka krodhit rona suna gaya, aur kaaryaalay mein teevr gadagadaahat aakhiree cheej thee jise vaan ne yaad kiya aur isase pahale ki usakee aankhen ludhak gaeen aur vah behosh ho gaya.
adhyaay ko jaldee se apadet karane mein hamaaree madad karane ke lie adhik upanyaas par jaen aur padhen. aapaka bahut-bahut dhanyavaad!
