Update 22 The Differences AgainBaaki ke log bus mein se Abhi ko dekh rahe the ke kyun wo ab Ruhi ke paas nahin ja raha kyunke usske seeti ko sun kar wo terrace par aagayi thi….
Abhi ne khayal kiya bus ke andar se hi ke Ruhi ka chehra kuch utra hua tha aur lag raha tha abhi abhi so ke uthi hai.
Abhi ne jaldi se uss book ko liya jiss mein Ruhi ka khat tha aur Ruhi ko dene gaya. Ruhi bimaar dikh rahi thi. Abhi ne ussko kitab dete hue kaha,
“Iss mein kuch hai tumhare liye abhi issi waqt andar jaate hi padhna bahot hi zaroori hai, aur jawaab bhi dena aaj hi please.”
Ruhi ne kitab lete hue abhi ko ek halki Muskaan mein kaha,
“meri mummy se baat kar liya aap ne?”
Abhi: “nahin, ussne to kaha ke tumko tumhare nani ke yahan chorr aayi hai….”
Ruhi: “ofo mazaak kiya hoga, magar aap ne kal wali baat kyun nahin pucha mummy se?!”
Abhi: “isska jawaab andar hai kitab mein jao padho please, aur ek baat, tumhari tabiyat thik nahin kia? Chehra aaj utra hua hai? Kia hua?!”
Ruhi: “hmmm subha 5 baje soyi, raat bhar roti rahi maa ne khub daanta, mujhe neendh hi nahin arahi thi.”
Abhi ne turant Silsila ka sher kaha,
“Majboor yeh haalaat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi
Tanhaayi ki ek raat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi
Kehne ko bahot kuch hai magar kiss se kahe hum
Kab tak yunhi dabte, yunhi sehte rahe hum
Dil kehta hai ke dunya ki har rasm utha dein
Deewaar jo hum donon mein hai aaj gira dein
Ab dil mein yehi baat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi.”
Ruhi ne sab suna aur muskura kar kaha
“hmmm Silsila…. Kitna acha bla aap ne sher ko, aap Amitabh ki fan ho kia?”
Abhi ne chamakte aankhon se kaha,
“Are tumko nahin pata? Yahan sabhi ko pata hai ke main usska kitna bada fan hoon, mera idol hai wo!”
Ruhi ne kaha,
“Ajeeb baat hai har wo chiz jo mujhe passand wohi aap ko bhi passand aisa kyun hai?!”
Abhi khush hua aur kaha,
“Our souls are inter connected sweetheart, read about this in the letter”
Ruhi: “Aap ne iss sissila ki sher ko kuch iss andaaz mein read kiya ke laga Amit ji hi bol rahe hein, kitni tadap thi aap ke awaaz mein, kaise kiya aap ne?”
Abhi: “sweetheart, jo bhi kaha hakikat tha issi liye, main bhi kal raat nahi soya subha 3 se 4 baje tak tumko likh raha tha, tumse connected tha main issi liye tum bhi nahin so paayi thi shaayad, samjhi kia?!”
Ruhi heyraan hui aur Abhi ke aankhon ke geraayi mein pyar se dekhte hue kaha,
“Aap kyun aisa karte ho, din bhar kaam karna hai aap ko, main to din mein so bhi lungi aap apna health kyun bigaar rahe ho?!”
Abhi: “Tum jo the mere khayaalon mein, kaise so paata main? Neendh kahan se aati jab tumne kuch aisa keh diya jiss se neendh udh gaye….. hum to diwane hai aap ke pyar ke, baithe hein aap par zindagi vaar ke, socha hai aap ne kia hamare liye, nah saha jaye ab thoda bhi faasla….”
Ruhi: “shaayar bhi ho aap kia Abhi?”
Abhi: “Ishk sab kuch seekha deta hai meri jaan, shaairi to apne aap ajaata hai.”
Ruhi: “Agar Aap Amit ji ka itna bada fan ho to aap unnko dekhne nahin gaye hamare ilaake mein usski kissi film ki shooting chal rahi hai aap ko pata hoga nah?!”
Abhi: “Haan Manmohan Desai ki film “Mard” ki shooting chal rahi hai, magar yahan se koyi 10 kms door hai nah wo jagah? Kaam itna hai kaise jaa paunga, kal Tony bhi bata raha tha.”
Ruhi: “hmmm ab main samjhi ke koyi aap ko ‘lambu’ kyun bulaate hein Amit ji ke fan ho aap bhi, tabhi to!”
Abhi: “are, khud lamba nahin hoon kia main?!”
Ruhi: “Iss mein koyi shak hai bhala? Kia aap Amit ji se bhi lambe ho?”
Abhi: “barabar hoon, ek baar mila tha uss se, saath khade hokar dekha tha, same height hai hamara!”
Ruhi machal gayi, aur oonchi awaaz mein Khushi se ek bachche ki tarah pucha,
“kiaaaa, aap Amit ji se mil chuke ho?! wow, photos liye ke nahin? Mujhe dikhana please!”
Abhi: “nahin liya main manoj to nahin jo camera lekar chalun!!”
Ruhi udaas hui aur kaha,
“Agar main shooting dekhne jaun to aap chaloge mere saath?”
Abhi: “kaam ke iss mod par nikalna naamumkin hai Ruhi, phir bhi puch kar bataunga, magar pehle tum batana ke kab, kiss din aur kiss waqt jaana hai taake main team ko bata sakun, aur jayenge kaise? Paidal to nahin nah?!”
Ruhi: “bus se jayenge nah, ek saath, donon, aap khush nahin honge mere saath jaana?!”
Abhi: “of course, bahot ziada Khushi hogi mujhe tumhare saath jaana Ruhi, yeh bhi puchne ki baat hai!”
Itne mein Reza ne piche se kaha,
“Ruhi main jaa raha hoon shooting dekhne aaj 1 baje chalogi?!”
Abhi ko ghussa aya aur kaha ke wo kaam karne jaa raha hai aur wahan se hatt gaya.
Bus ke andar se Reza ko Ruhi se baat karte hue dekh raha tha, Abhi ko jalan to nahin ho raha tha magar kyunke uss Reza ko wo bilkool passand nahin karta tha iss liye ussko acha nahin lag raha tha aur khaas kar ussko jaldi tha ke Ruhi usska khat jaa kar padhe.
Donon ke baatein sunaayi de rahe the, aur Reza full koshish mein laga hua tha ke Ruhi usske saath shooting dekhne chale. Ruhi ko dekh kar lagta tha usska bahot mann hai jaane ke liye, baar baar Abhi ko bhi dekh rahi thi bus ke andar Reza se baat karte hue.
Ab Abhi sochne laga ke kia iss se pehle Ruhi kahin gayi hogi kia Reza ke saath? Wo yahin ka rehne wala tha, Mehboob ki bus ka conductor tha to kayi saalon se iss aangan mein ata jaata hoga, to Ruhi se bachpan se jaan pehchaan hoga usska, yeh sab soch kar ab Abhi ko jalan sa feel aane laga tha, aur wo buss Reza aur Ruhi ko dekhe ja raha tha.
Abhi ko chain mila jab Ruhi ne Abhi ko dekhte hue Reza se kaha,
“Jaungi to unnke saath varna nahin jaungi, okay?!”
Reza ka chehra laal hua aur Abhi ko dekha bus mein munh banaate hue, aur Abhi ne hanss diya.
Abhi kaam karte hue sochta raha ke ab Ruhi usska khat padh rahi hogi, ab iss paragraph ko padh rahi hogi, ab yeh padh rahi hogi, ab ussko pata chal gaya hoga ke main ne ussko “I love you” bol diya…..
Abhi soch raha tha ke ab Ruhi kia feel kar rahi hogi uss khat ko padh kar? Bahot khush ho rahi hogi, ussko acha feel ho raha hoga Abhi ke khat padh kar, aur Abhi ab dekhna chahta tha ke Ruhi ka reaction kia hoga jab wo usske saamne aegi. To Abhi ke nazrein baar baar washing stone ke taraf to kabhi Ruhi ke khidki par hota raha.
Phir kuch der baad Abhi ko heyrani hui Manoj ko terrace par dekh kar. Aaj wo kaam par nahin gaya Abhi ne socha, usska camera usske haath mein tha aur bus ke kuch photos liye ussne usske baad Manoj aur Ruhi donon garden mein gulaab todte hue dikhe gaye.
Ab Abhi sochne laha ke kia Manoj ne Abhi ka khat to nahin padha? Kia Ruhi ne ussko dikhaya hoga khat ko? Abhi Ruhi ke chehre ki expressions ko padhne ki koshish kar raha tha. Abhi ke khat padhne ke baad Ruhi par kuch to assar hona chahiye tha magar Ruhi normal thi, jaise kuch hua hi nah ho. Magar Ruhi ne ekaat baar garden se bus mein Abhi ko dekha, kayi baar dekha. Magar normal tarike se dekha, jo Abhi ko passand nahin aya…. Abhi ne socha usske khat ko padhne ke baad Ruhi ke chehre mein ek chamak hona chahiye tha, bahot pyar ubhar kar baahar aate hue dikhna chahiye tha Abhi ke liye, aur wo Abhi ko nahin dikh raha tha. Abhi naakhush tha Ruhi ki reaction se.
Phir Abhi ne khud se kaha ke kia Ruhi ne chithi nahin padhi hogi ab tak kyunke Manoj ghar par hai? Ya abhi koyi reaction nahin de rahi kyun ke manoj usske saath hai? Abhi confused tha kyunke ussko nahin pata tha ke Ruhi ne chithi padhi ke nahin.
Phir ek baar aisa hua ke manoj jhuka hua tha main road ke taraf dekhte hue aur Ruhi bus mein dekhte hue Abhi se kuch kaha apne honton ko hillaate hue bina awaaz ke…. Abhi samah gaya ke ussne khat padh liya kyunke Ruhi ke chehre mein Khushi chalak rahi thi aur bade pyar se Abhi ko dekh rahi thi, lag raha tha ke keh rahi thi, “I love you too” usske honton ke form ussi movements mein move ho rahe the. Abhi bahot khush hua aur usske seene ke andar jaise usska dil naachne laga tha.
Phir kuch der baad Ruhi nahin dikhi aur Manoj ne ishaare se Abhi ko bulaya bus ke baahar. Abhi samajh gaya ke bus ke photos dene wala tha ussko aur Saeed ko nahin dikhana chahta tha jaise ke Abhi ne uss se pehle keh diya tha.
75 photos the ek envelope mein jo Manoj ne Abhi ko diya aur kaha ke 5 rolls ko ek saath develop karwaya ussne issi liye late de raha hai. Par Abhi ne ussko 500rupay diye the aur 50 pics ke utna hote hein matlab aur 25 pics ke liye paise dene the Manoj ko jisske liye Manoj ne kaha,
“Baad mein adjust kar lenge, abhi aur bus ke photos lene hein nah, jab full ready ho jaega bus, andar bhi kuch pics lene hein, phir jab paint ho jajega, har step par lete jaa raha hoon, complete hokar road par jaega tab last pics lunga bus ki. Tab baaki ke paise de dena okay”
Abhi maan gaya aur uss lifaafe ko apne bag mein jaakar rakh diya. Kissi ne nahin dekha George ke siwa, magar kissi ko pata nahin tha ke uss lifafe mein manoj ne kia diya Abhi ko.
Abhi ne kuch der baad Manoj ko ready hokar jaate hue dekha jab Ruhi ne ussko bye wave kiya.
Usske baad Ruhi kayi baar saamne aayi Abhi ke. Khush dikh rahi thi, Abhi samajh gaya ke usske chithi ka assar hoga. Aur kuch der baad Ruhi aur usski maa donon terrace par nazar aaye. Ruhi polish laga rahi thi terrace par baith kar aur usski maa usske piche khadi thi. Kyunke maa piche thi to Ruhi ne dobara ussi tarah bina sound ke Abhi ko kuch kaha. Abhi nahin samjha ke ussne kia kaha, phir turant Ruhi ne mudh kar apni maa ko dekha ke kia ussne ussko ishaare se baat karte hue dekkha to nahin.
Phir kuch khaas nahin hua. Lunch ke baad Abhi Ruhi ke khidki ke paas gaya to wo bandh tha. Abhi bahot heyraan hua. Jabse wo yahan kaam kar raha tha aaj pehli baar uss khidki ko bandh dekha ussne. Abhi chal kar piche ke darwaze tak gaya wo bhi bandh tha. Abhi heyraan hua, pareshan hua usske samajh mein kuch nahin araha tha. Ab sochne laga ke do baar Ruhi ne kia kaha tha uss se? kuch khaas kaha hoga jo usski maa aur manoj ko nahin pata chalna chahiye iss liye bina awaaz ke kaha tha.
Abhi ki pareshaani ussko ab bahut tang karne laga usske samajh mein nahin aya ke wo ab kia karen. Usska mann kiya ke darwaza khatkhata ke Ruhi ko phukaare… paagal hone laga Abhi…..
30 mins tak Abhi washing stone par baitha wait karta raha magar Ruhi ne nah khidki kholi aur nah wo nazar aayi. Tony cigarette kharidne jaa raha tha to Abhi ko wahan dekha to pucha kia hua. Abhi ne oonchi awaaz mein Ruhi ko andar sunaane ke liye kaha,
“pata nahin yaar aaj pehli baar iss khidki ko band dekh raha hoon, koyi hoga andar shayad issi liye nah band hai!!”
Tony chala gaya main road ke taraf, aur Abhi yaad karne laga kiss tarah kal iss waqt wo andar issi kamre mein tha aur Ruhi ko khidki band karne ko kaha tha to Ruhi ne kaha tha ke baahar log sochenge ke kyun khudki band hai to ussne parda khinch kar books se dabaya tha…. aur soch raha tha ke iss waqt Ruhi apni kamre mein hi to hogi, to shaayad Ruhi jaan bujh kar aisa kar rahi hai, ya Abhi ko ab avoid kar rahi hai ya usski maa ne Ruhi ko weisa karne ke liye kaha hoga…..
Kal Ruhi ne kaha tha ke wo usski maa se usski ghalati ke baare mein puche wo bataegi, to kyun ab khidki band hai, abhi to Abhi ko usski ma se baat karna chahiye tha to khidki band hai to kaise Abhi baat karega?! Abhi ko ghussa bhi araha tha.
Phir Abhi ne yaad kiya ke khat mein ussne Ruhi se kaha ke usske munh se sab kuch sunna chahta hai usski maa se nahin, to kia iss liye Ruhi ne khidki band kiya kyunke wo nahin bata paegi? Ya ruhi shararat kar rahi hai, Abhi ki patience ka imtehaan le rahi hai? Subha usski maa ne tang khincha tha Abhi ka yeh keh kar ke Ruhi apni nani ke yahan hai, kia ek baar phir Ruhi ki maa ne jaan bujh kar khidki band kiya Abhi se sharaarat karne ke liye? Kia andar se maa beti sab dekh aur sun rahe hein?! Kia Ruhi ne apni maa ko sab bata diya jo Abhi ne khat mein likha hai? Bina awaaz ke Ruhi ne kia kaha tha Abhi se?
To be continued…. (4001 words from both updates)
Kyun Ruhi ab door rehne lagi?
Jab abhi ne letter diya tab to khub baat kiye Ruhi ne. Amitabh ke dialogues par baat kiye, shooting dekhne jaati Abhi k saath... Reza se Ruhi ne kaha ke jaegi to sirf Abhi ke sath to fir kia ho gaya?
Yaar ye ladkiyon ko samajhna bahut mushkil hota hai
