Part - 50
Anu, us din Vikram se mili asahajta ke baad, thodi pareshan thi. Mallika ki baaton ne use kuch der ke liye shaant kiya tha, lekin Anu ko kuch zaroori kaagzaat ke baare mein Mallika se turant baat karni thi. Usne socha ki Mallika ke paas jaakar seedhe baat karna zyada aasaan hoga, aur usne Mallika ko phone karke batana zaroori nahi samjha. Yeh ek badi galti thi.
Anu Mallika ke apartment pahunchi. Usne dekha ki darwaza thoda sa khula hi mila. Anu ko laga ki shayad Mallika balcony mein hogi.
Anu: (halki awaaz mein darwaze ke paas se) Mallika? Kya tum andar ho?
Koi jawab nahi aaya. Anu ko laga ki shayad Mallika headphones mein hogi. Woh dheere se andar chali gayi.
Jaise hi Anu uske bedroom ke darwaze ke paas pahunchi, toh woh drishya dekhkar poori tarah se stabdh reh gayi.
Mallika, ek naye, anjaan ladke ke upar baithi thi aur poori ugrata ke saath usse chodai karwa rahi thi. Mallika poori tarah se nangi thi, aur woh ladke ki kamar ko kas kar pakde hui thi. Dono ka sharir paseene se bhiga tha aur unke chehre par teevra vasna ka bhaav tha.
Mallika ne awaaz sunkar darwaze ki taraf dekha. Use Anu ko achanak wahan dekhkar ek pal ka bhi sankoch nahi hua, balki uske chehre par ek chamkeeli, shararti muskaan aa gayi, jaise ki usne koi mazakiya baat suni ho.
Mallika ne apni gati jaari rakhi, aur bina kisi sharm ke, usne Anu ko khuleaam aamantriit kiya.
Mallika: (hansate hue, gehri saans lete hue) Arre! Aao, aao, Anu! Tum bina bataye aa gayi! Baitho! Kuch logi kya? Coffee? Ya... champagne?
Mallika ne apni baat kehte hue, ladke ke upar ek zor daar uchhaal maari.
Anu ko khud par gussa aa gaya ki woh is tarah se kyun aayi. Woh itni asahaj ho gayi ki use samajh nahi aaya ki woh kya kare. Woh Mallika ke khulepan se bhauchakki thi.
Anu ne turant apni aankhen band ki, jaldi se muddi, aur darwaza band kar diya. Woh turant living area mein pade sofa (couch) par jaakar baith gayi. Uska dil zoron se dhadak raha tha, aur uske gaal sharm se garam ho rahe the. Uske kaanon mein abhi bhi Mallika ki awaaz aur un dono ki chodai ki awaazein goonj rahi thi.
************************
Anu ko sofa par baithe lagbhag pandrah minute ho chuke the. Uske mann mein abhi bhi us drishya ka vichar ghoom raha tha. Uski bechaini thodi kam hui hi thi ki bedroom ka darwaza khula.
Mallika bahar aayi. Woh ab ek bathrobe mein thi, aur uske saath woh naya ladka bhi tha. Ladka bhi ek T-shirt aur lower mein tha.
Mallika ne Anu ko dekhkar ek baar phir shararti muskaan di aur ladke ke kandhe par haath rakha.
Mallika: (poore aatmavishwas aur halkepan se) Anu, milo mere boyfriend Aryan se. Aryan, yeh hai Anu, jis ke baare mein main tumhe bata rahi thi.
Aryan ne aage badhkar haath milaya. Woh bhi muskura raha tha, jaise ki use koi sharm ya pachhtawa na ho ki Anu ne unhe abhi-abhi kis haalat mein dekh liya tha. Mallika aur Aryan dono hi poori tarah se normal the.
Anu ne kisi tarah khud ko sambhala. Uska mann Mallika ke is khulepan par naraz ho raha tha.
Anu: (thoda muh banakar aur narazgi se) Nice to meet you, Aryan. Mallika... yeh kaunse number ka boyfriend hai? Mujhe yaad nahi hai ki maine tumse aakhri baar kab baat ki thi.
Mallika is sawal par zor se hanssi. Aryan bhi Mallika ke kandhe par haath rakhar hansne laga.
Mallika: (hansate hue, laparvah andaaz mein) Shayad 7th ya 8th hoga! Mujhe bhi theek se yaad nahi hai. Par kya farak padta hai! Ha ha ha.
Mallika aur Aryan dono hi zor-zor se hansne lage. Anu unki is befikr, khule vyavhaar se pareshan si ho gayi. Anu ke liye yeh sab anaitik aur galat tha, jabki Mallika aur Aryan ke liye yeh ek mazedaar mazak tha. Anu ke mann mein ek baar phir apne ghar ki, apni maryaadaon ki tulna Mallika ki azaad zindagi se hui, aur woh bas sofa par baithi asahaj mehsoos karti rahi.
******************************
Mallika aur Aryan ki hansi poore living area mein goonj uthi. Anu ko yeh sab bahut hi ajeeb aur atpatta lag raha tha. Mallika ne hansna band kiya aur sofa ke paas aakar baith gayi, jahan Anu baithi thi. Aryan paas hi khada tha, abhi bhi muskura raha tha.
Mallika: (Anu ke kandhe par haath rakhte hue) Achha, ab batao. Tum itni ghabrayi hui kyun lag rahi ho? Kya hua? Tum bina bataye, bina call kiye kyun aa gayi?
Anu: (thoda sakhti se) Tumhe pata hai, Mallika. Main tumhe phone karne wali thi, lekin mujhe kuch zaroori files chahiye thi jo maine pichhli baar yahan chhodi thi. Aur haan... tumhe darwaza khula nahi chhodna chahiye tha!
Mallika: (Aryan ki taraf dekhte hue, aankh maarte hue) Haan, hume pata hai. Par hum thoda busy the. Waise, mujhe toh lagta hai ki yeh achha hua ki tumne dekh liya. Kam se kam tumhe pata toh chala ki main yahan kya kar rahi hoon. Ab tum jhoothe dikhawa wali cheezon ko lekar itni pareshan nahi hogi.
Aryan: (hansate hue) Haan, Anu. Mallika bahut open minded hai. Yeh kisi cheez ko chhipati nahi hai.
Anu: (Aryan ki baat par chidhte hue) Open minded? Mallika, kya tum kabhi nahi sochti ki in sab ka kya natija hoga? Tum har hafte boyfriend badalti ho!
Mallika: (shaant hokar, lekin aatmavishwas se) Natija? Anu, main apni zindagi jee rahi hoon, jo mujhe khushi deti hai. Main apne boss se nahi darti, main apni society se nahi darti. Mujhe kisi purush ki zaroorat nahi hai jo mujhe bataye ki mujhe kya karna hai. Aur haan, maine koi galti nahi ki hai.
Mallika ne jaanbujhkar yeh sab kaha, kyunki woh jaanti thi ki Anu hamesha apne parivaar ki izzat aur maryaada ki parwah karti hai.
Mallika: (shararti andaaz mein) Achha, tum baitho. Main tumhare liye kuch coffee laati hoon. Aur haan, Aryan, tum Anu ko woh gaane dikhao jo humne abhi download kiye hain.
Mallika kitchen ki taraf badh gayi. Anu ko laga ki woh Mallika ko badalne nahi aayi thi, balki khud Mallika ki duniya ko dekhkar aur zyada pareshan ho gayi thi. Anu, sofa par baithi, Aryan ke paas rakhe us sofa ko ghoorne lagi, jahan kuch minute pehle Mallika aur Aryan antarang the.
