Part -17
Pari subah se hi pareshan thi.
Manik ka har baat par chidh jaana… kabhi zaroorat se zyada dekhbhaal karna… aur kabhi achaanak chup ho jaana—
sab kuchh use khatak raha tha.
Kabhi-kabhi wah soch baithti—
“Kya Manik ko koi badi chinta hai?”
Phir achaanak dimaag mein doosra khayal aata—
“Ya… kahin main hi zyada soch rahi hoon?”
Par pichhle hafte mohalle mein ek ladki thi—Riya.
Jab bhi wah Manik ke paas aati, Manik use kandhe se pakadkar side kar deta, kabhi maathe par haath rakhkar haalchaal poochhta, to kabhi uski peeth par halki thapki deta—aaur yeh sab itna natural, itna khula hua tha ki koi ajnabi dekhe to kahe—
“Ye dono to bahut close hain.”
Aur Pari ko yeh sab dekh kar ajeeb laga tha.
Use laga jaise uske bhai ka “halka-sa beparwah lagne wala” sparsh zyada badh gaya ho.
Wah sochte-sochte aur ulajh gayi—
“Kya Manik…? Nahin, nahin! Wo aisa soch bhi nahin sakta. Main hi galat samajh rahi hoon.”
Agale hi din Pari apni kareebi dost Candy se milne park chali gayi. Dono ek jhoole ke paas ghaas par baith gayin, Candy icecream kha rahi thi aur Pari ki bechaini saaf dikh rahi thi.
Candy ne poochha,
“Kya hua? Chehra aisa kyun hai jaise koi horror movie real mein dekh li ho?”
Pari ne hichakte hue kaha,
“Candy… mujhe apne bhai ki harkatein ajeeb lag rahi hain.”
Candy ki aankhein chaudi ho gayin.
“Kis tarah ajeeb?”
Pari ne gehri saans li.
“Wo mohalle ki Riya ko bahut comfortable tareeke se chhoota hai. Matlab… kandhe, haath, kabhi sir par. Aur wo bhi baar-baar. Main samajh nahin pa rahi ki yeh kya hai…”
Candy turant muskurayi, aankh maari aur boli—
“To tujhe shak ho raha hai ki tera bhai kahin kisi ladki mein interested na ho jaaye?”
Pari ne jhunjhalaakar uske haath par halka mukka maara.
“Are paagal! Aisa nahin hai. Mera matlab… wo uske aaspaas bahut natural hai… bahut zyada.”
Candy hanskar boli,
“Are! Aur kya chahiye ek ladki ko? Natural ladka hi to chahiye. Zyada door rehne wale jhoothhe shareef to har kone par milte hain.”
Pari ne gusse se kaha,
“Tu samajh nahin rahi. Manik pehle aisa nahin tha. Uske touch mein ek… ajeeb-si jaldi hoti hai. Jaise koi bechaini chhupane ki koshish kar raha ho.”
Candy ne icecream rokakar gambheerata se dekha.
“Tu bata kya dar lag raha hai?”
Pari ne dheeme se, lagbhag fusfusaate hue kaha—
“Kahin Manik… bhaavnaon mein behkar galat disha mein na ja raha ho.”
Candy turant zor se hans padi—
“Matlab tu soch rahi hai ki tera bhai ab ‘touch-friendly’ ho gaya hai? Aur tujhe usse dar lag raha hai?”
Pari ne jhunjhalaakar kaha,
“Haan! Aur mujhe lag raha hai kahin uske man mein koi… koi ajeeb baat na chal rahi ho!”
Candy ne apne baal jhatakte hue kaha—
“Dekh Pari, sunne mein tera shak bada ajeeb lagta hai, lekin wajah bilkul samajh aati hai. Jab insaan humein bahut pyar karta hai, to uske har naye badalte gesture humein zaroorat se zyada bada lagne lagta hai.”
Pari ne hairaan hokar poochha—
“Matlab?”
Candy ne gehri awaaz mein kaha—
“Matlab—agar koi stranger Riya ko kandhe par haath rakhe to tujhe fark nahin padega. Par agar Manik kare, to tu sochne lagegi ki uske haath achaanak zyada kyun thahe…”
Pari chup ho gayi.
Yeh baat use jhakjhor gayi.
Candy ne aage kaha—
“Aur rahi baat ‘ladke shareef hote hain ya nahin’ — to sun, har ladka aur har ladki shareef paida hote hain. Par jawaani ka josh, gussa, tanaav, akelapan — yeh sab unhein kabhi-kabhi confuse kar dete hain.”
Phir Candy ne aankh maarte hue sharaarat se kaha—
“Waise… mujhe to lagta hai tera bhai kisi aur wajah se bechain hai. Shaayad career, ya kisi pareshani ki wajah se. Aur tu bas apni imagination mein sab badha-chadha rahi hai.”
Pari ne dheere se kaha—
“Sach mein?”
Candy ne uska haath pakadkar kaha—
“Pari, relationship chahe parivaar ka ho ya pyar ka—
dar aur shak use todte hain, par baatchit use jodti hai.
Aaj hi Manik se aaraam se baat karna. Ho sakta hai wo kisi stress mein ho aur tujhse chhupa raha ho.”
Pari ne lambe shaant saans ke saath sir hilaaya.
“Haan… main aaj usse baat karoongi. Shaayad main hi zaroorat se zyada soch rahi hoon.”
Candy muskura di.
“Haan pagli. Tu overthinking ki brand ambassador hai.”
Dono hans padin—
aur Pari ka man thoda halka ho gaya.
********************************
Kanooni samjhauta poora karne ke baad, Anand Mittal aur Anita Grover ne safar shuru kiya aur jaldi hi ek shaant, chhote se hill station par pahunch gaye. Anand ne wahan ke sabse aalishaan hotel mein ek khoobsurat aur niji suite book kiya. Kamre ki khidkiyon se barfiili chotiyon ka nazara dikhaai de raha tha, lekin kamre ke andar ka mahoul baahari thand ke theek vipreet, garm aur uttejak tha.
Kamre mein daakhil hote hi, Anand Mittal apni paanch saal ki tadap ko aur niyantrit nahin kar paaye. Anita ke saath hue chumban aur samjhauta ki khushi ne unhein unmaadi (frenzied) bana diya tha.
Anand ji ne darwaaza band kiya aur turant Anita ki or badhe.
Anand ji (bechaini se): "Anita! Ab aur intezaar nahin hota. Itne saalon se main... meri tadap. Please, ab yeh sab khatam karte hain."
Unhone lagbhag zabardasti Anita ke kapde utaarne par zor dena shuru kar diya. Unke haath Anita ki saari par pade.
Anita (hanste hue, pyar se unhein rokate hue): "Are, Anand ji! Zara sabr rakhiye! Main kahin bhaag nahin rahi hoon. Aapko to ab main ek hafte ke liye mili hoon."
Anand ji ki bechaini dekhkar Anita ko maza aa raha tha, aur wah unki is varshon ki tadap ko samajh rahi thi.
Anita ne Anand ji ke haath pade aur unhein shaant kiya.
Anita: "Ek baat bataiye. Kyun na hum dono kuchh karne se pehle ek shower le len? Hum dono safar karke aaye hain aur aap itne betaab hain, mujhe lagta hai ki thodi taazgi hamaare is pehle anubhav ko aur bhi zyada khoobsurat bana degi."
Anand ji ko yeh prastaav tarkasangat laga, lekin wah is mauke ko zaaya nahin karna chahte the.
Anand ji (utsukta se): "Ek saath le len kya? Main ab aapse ek pal bhi door nahin reh sakta."
Anita ne unki betaabi dekhi aur apni aankhein matkaate hue muskurayi.
Anita: "Theek hai! Yeh aur bhi mazedaar rahega."
Anita ne sabse pehle apne kapde utaare. Unke kapde zameen par gire aur Anand ji ne pehli baar Anita ke nagn sharir ko dekha. Unki sundarta aur aatmavishwas se bhari nagnata ne ne Anand ji ki uttejna ko charam par pahuncha diya. Anand ji ne bhi jaldi se apne kapde utaar diye.
Dono nagn avastha mein bathroom ki or badhe.
Bathroom mein ghuste hi, Anand ji ne shower chala diya. Garm paani ki bauchhaaren un dono ke sharir par padne lagi. Anand ji ne turant Anita ko apni baahon mein kas liya.
Bathroom ki garmi aur paani ke neeche, Anand ji aur Anita ek saath shower lene lage. Paani ki bauchhaaron ke beech, unhone ek baar phir ek-doosre ko honthon par chooma. Yeh chumban ab aur bhi zyada bhaavuk aur gehra tha.
Anand ji ne Anita ke nagn sharir ko chhua—unhein mehsoos hua ki yeh sirf sharirik tadap nahin thi, balki varshon baad kisi mahila ke sparsh ka aanand tha. Anita ne bhi unhein utna hi kaskar pakda, maano wah unhein apni sooni god bharne ke liye dhanyavaad de rahi ho.
Pahaadon ke us aalishaan suite mein, garm paani ki bauchhaaron ke neeche, Anand Mittal ki saalon ki tadap poori hone ki or pehla antarang kadam badh chuki thi.
Aalishaan hotel ke suite ke bathroom mein, garm paani ki bauchhaaron ke neeche, Anand Mittal aur Anita Grover nagn avastha mein ek-doosre ke aalingan mein the. Anand ji ki varshon ki tadap ab itni nazdeeki mein thi ki wah har pal ko mehsoos kar rahe the.
Shuruaat mein, Anita apne samjhauta aur bhaavnatmak mansha (baccha paida karne) ke bawajood, thodi sharma rahi thi. Yeh Anand Mittal jaise pratishthit aur vivaahit vyakti ke saath uski pehli itni nazdeeki thi.
Anand ji ne uski sharm ko mehsoos kiya aur pyar se uske gaal par ha Quil fer.
Anand ji (dheeme, uttejak swar mein): "Anita, ab kyun sharma rahi ho? Hum dono yahan ek hi maqsad se hain. Tum meri tadap samjho, aur mujhe apni majboori. Ab koi doori mat rakho."
Anand ji ki pehel se Anita ko thoda saahas mila.
Anita (muskuraate hue): "Theek hai, Anand ji. Agar aap itne betaab hain, to main hi shuruaat karti hoon."
Usne apni baahon ko Anand ji ke sharir se hataaya aur ek loofah uthaaya. Wah Anand ji ki peeth aur kandhon par sabun malne lagi. Garm paani aur Anita ke haath ka sparsh Anand ji ko unmaadi bana raha tha.
Dheere-dheere, Anita ki ungliyaan neeche ki or gayin. Anand ji ka lund poori tarah se uttejit aur tanaav mein tha. Jab Anita ke haath mein sabun tha, to unka saamna Anand ji ke tane hue lund se hua.
Pehle to Anita ko ek pal ke liye phir se sharm aayi. Ek pratishthit aur sammanit purush ka wah ang, jise usne apne pati ke alawa aaj tak nahin chhua tha. Uska haath ek pal ke liye ruk gaya.
Lekin phir, usne apni sharm ko kinaare rakha, aur use laga ki ab wah peechhe nahin hat sakti. Anita ne apne haath mein thoda aur sabun liya aur dheere se Anand ji ke uttejit ang par sabun lagaane lagi.
Yeh kshan Anand ji ke liye atyant uttejak tha. Kisi khoobsurat mahila ke haathon ka sparsh, aur wah bhi unki varshon ki tadap ke antim bindu par.
Jaise hi Anita ne apne haath se use poori tarah se sabun se dhanka, uski aankhein vismay se khuli rah gayin.
Anita (atyant dheemi, uttejit awaaz mein, jo anjaane mein uske muh se nikal gayi): "Yeh waqai bahut bada hai..."
Anand Mittal ki aankhein band thi, lekin Anita ki yeh seedhi tippani sunkar unke muh se ek dabi hui aah nikli.
Anand ji (halke fusfusaahat mein): "Dhanyavaad, Anita. Yeh sab tumhare liye hai."
Anita ki tippani ne Anand ji ke purushatva ko ek naya aayaam diya. Unhein laga ki unka intezaar saarthak hua. Ab Anita ne sharm ko poori tarah se tyag diya tha, aur wah poori ekaagrata ke saath sabun malne ke kaam mein jut gayi.
Paani ki bauchhaaron ke beech, sabun ki chiknaahat aur Anita ke sparsh ne kamre ke mahoul ko maha uttejak bana diya tha. Dono hi ab bina kisi seema ya pachtaave ke, apne agle kadam ke liye poori tarah se taiyaar the.
Anita ne Anand ji ko gale lagaaya aur us uttejna mein, unka garm paani ka shower ek aur antarang khel mein badal gaya tha.
