Chapter I - Pita ya Premi
#10
Mohan ghar k bahar waali diwar se laga hua na jane kabtak wahi ek kinare baitha rehta hai, par wo kisi bhi nishkarsh tak nahi pahuch pa raha tha ki use kiya karna chahiye ?
Ant mein haar k wo Kareeb ek ghante baad chupchap se ghar wapas laut aata hai
Uska uthta har ek kadam use bhari lag raha tha aur dil mein maano jaise koi toofan chal raha ho, wo koi faisla lena cha raha tha par kuch bhi tay nahi kar pa raha tha
Mohan dhire se ghar ka mukhya dwaar kholte hue andar pravesh karta hai toh use sabse pehle wahi hall mein pade us purane se sofe pe uske Sasurji nazar aate hai jinke chehre pe kisi vijeta jaisi muskaan thi aur wo mast chai ki chuskiyan lete hue anand se baithe hue tha
Mohan apne Sasurji k bare mein sochta hai ki wo unhe Pita saman manta tha par aaj usi inshan ne uski Patni Surili ko kisi sasti Randi jaise choda hai
Wahi Manak Das ji chai peete hue aise baithe thay jaise kuch hua hi na ho, tabhi unki nazar samne se aate unke damad Mohan pe padti hai aur muskura k bol padte hai
"Arre beta, tum itni subha subha kaha chale gaye thay ?
Surili kabse tumhari pratiksha kar rahi thi, aao baitho Chai peete hai
"
Mohan apne sasur ki baat sunkar jaldi se khud ko sambhalta hai aur chehra pe ek jhoothi muskaan bikherte hue muskura k kehta hai
"Bas yahi pass mein mere ek khas Mitra mil gaye thay, toh baaton mein samay ka pata hi nahi chala"
Waise toh Saaf saaf jhoot bol raha tha Mohan, par usne apni awaaz mein koi kampan nahi aane diya
Uske Sasurji Manak Das sar hila dete hain aur apni baat kehte hai
"Achha baat hai beta, dost toh hone bhi chahiye"
Tabhi andar kamre ki aur se ek khanakti hui aawaz aati hai, Mohan dekhta hai toh use samne se Sundari haath mein pooja ki thali liye hue bahar aati hui nazar aati hai
Waise uski chal thodi si badli hui thi jaise use chalne mein peeda mehsus ho rahi ho, woh thali leke apne Pati Mohan ke paas aati hai aake uske samne khadi ho jaati hai
Mohan ek pal k liye use uper se neeche ki aur dekhta hai aur phir kehta hai
"Tumhe kya hua?
Aise kyun chal rahi ho, koi dikkat hai ?"
Waise toh Mohan sab kuch janta tha par phir bhi wo dekhna cha raha tha ki uski Patni kiya kehti hai
Sundari apne Pati Mohan ki baat sunkar pehle apne Bapu ki taraf dekhti hai, aur phir dheere se muskurate apni baat kehti hai
"Are ji wo.. na.. ha wo subha subha pair mein moch aa gayi thi…"
Sundari apni baat kehne k baad aage badh kar Mohan ke maathe pe tika lagati hai, aur phir uski aarti utarti hai
Mohan ko yakeen nahi ho raha tha ki ye uski wahi Patni hai jo thodi dair pehle uske Sasurji ka mota lund apni gand mein le rahi thi
Aarti k baad wo kehti hai
"Aap naha lijiye… main nasta lagwati hu"
Tabhi achanak se Mohan ko yaad aata hai ki wo doodh toh leke aaya hi nahi hai
"Arre doodh toh…"
Sundari muskura k uski baat beech mein hi kaat deti hai hai
"Koi baat nahi ji… main pados wale 'Khan Chacha' k yaha se le aayi thi
Aap bas jaldi se naha lijiye"
Mohan apni Patni ki baat sunkar hairani se
"Kiya Khan Chacha.. wo Pados wala khadus buddha ?
Wo toh kisi se seedhe munh baat tak nahi karta, doodh kaise de diya tumhe?"
Sundari muskurate hue
"Abhi aap apni Patni ko jante nahi hai ji.."
Aur haste hue andar ki aur chal padti hai, jaha use dekhte hue Mohan man hi man soch raha tha
'Sach kaha.. main sach mein tumhe nahi janta'
Jaldi hi teeno wahi hall mein baithe nasta kar rahe thay, tabhi Mohan k Sasurji usse kehte hai
"Beta, wo agle mahine gaon mein pahad wale Mandir ka mela hai"
Wo ek pal k liye rukte hai aur ek niwala khane k baad aage kehte hai
"Hamare Gaon mein manyata hai ki har naye jode ko wahan jarur aana chahiye"
Mohan poochhta hai
"Par aisa kyun hai Babuji?,
koi khas wajah?"
Es baar jawab Sundari deti hai
"Wahan pahad pe Mandir k Pujari ji ek khas pooja karte hain… jisse naye jode ke jeevan mein kabhi koi kathinai nahi aati aur unka aage ka jeevan bahut sukh se beetta hai…"
Par Manak Das ji aage kehte hai
"Aur ye bhi kehte hai ki us Pooja se Pati-Patni ka rishta aur adhik mazboot hota hai
Unke beech ka Prem aur jada gehra ho jata hai"
Apne Pita ki baatein sunkar Sundari sharma si jaati hai uski aankhein neeche jhuk jaati hai aur sath hi gaal laal ho jaate hain
Mohan usko aise sharmate hue dekhta hai toh man hi man sochne pe majbur ho jata hai
"Yakeen nahi hota, yeh wahi Sundari hai jo abhi thodi der pehle kitchen mein apne Bapu se apni gand marwa rahi thi ?
Aur ab dekhe kaise sharma rahi hai, samajh nahi aa raha kiya sach hai aur kiya jhooth.."
Baki ka din ache se hi gujarta hai qki Mohan aaj dukan bhi nahi gaya tha, usi raat ki train se uske Sasurji bhi laut jate hai
Raat k kareeb 2 baj rahe thay, Sundari gehri neend mein so rahi thi par Mohan ki aankhon se neend na jane kaha gayab thi uske man mein ek hi sawal baar baar apna sar utha raha tha
Ab aage.. Main Kiya Karu ?"
