Update 49
Ghar-Sansar
Koi 3 baje ke aaspas Rekha ji ki neend toot gai, bahar baarish ki bundo ke shor se. Aangan me plastic ka tub rakha tha jispar girti bunde khalal paida karne lagi thi. Woh Arjun ko ek baar sehla ke sahi se uska sar bister par rakhti uthi aur bina he light jagaye aangan me aa gai.
'Barish bhi jaane is baar kaunse mausam me hone lagi hai.? Upar se itni raat me ye shor. Ritu ko bola bhi tha ke tub galiyare me rakhne ke lekin ya ladki bhi na..' Mann me ye sab bolti woh bheegti hui aangan me rakhe samaan aur charpai ko sahi jagah rakhne lagi. Abhi baarish madhyam gati se ho rahi thi lekin dheemi bhi nahi thi ki sharir ko pata he na chale.
Unka laal gown, jo andhere me rang toh nahi bata pa raha tha, wo aadha geele ho chuka tha. Lekin 5-6 minute me he unhone sab sahi kar dia aur fir kamre ke andar chali aai. Darwaja band karne ke baad ab baarish ki awaaj bhi utni nahi sunaai de rahi thi aur woh tej plastic par girti bundo ki thak-thak ab khatam ho chuki thi. Zero ka bulb jaga kar Rekha ne apna ye laal rang ka gown peeche se chain kholte hue utara toh husn beparda ho gaya. Arjun unki taraf peeth kiye so raha tha toh ek baar uska shant chehra dekh woh halka sa muskurati hui apni almari se ek safed cotton ka gown nikal kar pehan ne lagi. Purane wale se he apne halke bheege baal aur chehra saaf karne ke baad usko darwaje ke peeche he taang dia. Shrir par halke royen khade ho gaye the aise ekdum thande mahol me jaane se. Bete ke sath atchi neend aa rahi thi lekin 2 ghante me he woh uchat gai thi.
Fir se bulb ko band karne ke baad woh sambhalti si Arjun ke barabar aa leti aur savdhani se uska sar apni chaati se lagati dusre haath se uska sar sehla kar sone ki koshish karne lagi. Lekin hairat se Rekha ka dimag sunn ho gaya tha. Is sab me wo bhul gai thi ki ye safed gown ke saamne ki taraf hukk lage the chain nahi. Aur bina unhe band kiye jab woh bister par jhukti Arjun ke sath leti thi toh unka ek ubhar nipple samet bahar nikal aaya tha. Pata tab laga jab neend me he Arjun ne woh apne mooh me bhar lia aur choosna shuru kar dia tha. Bahar se aati halki roshni me dekhne ki koshish si karti Rekha ko bas itna dikha ke woh toh aankhen band kiye pehle ki tarah he neend me hai. Na he Arjun ne unko jakda tha aur na he kahi aur hath lagaya tha. Bas woh toh apne hontho par aa lage is nipple ko mooh me bhar ke neend me he peene me laga tha.
'Pee le beta yahi soch lungi ki jab tu aakhiri bar mere sath soya tha tab bhi peeta tha aur aaj bhi wahi par hai.' Apne mann ko shant karti woh sambhal gai aur aise he Arjun ke chehre ko dekhti rahi. Arjun ke halka jor se nipple ko kheenchne se unhe dard hua aur aisa laga jaise koi bareek sa kanta unke nipple se bahar nikal gaya ho. Aur ubharo me agli harkat mehsoos karte he woh ek baar fir ghabra gai. 12 saal ke baad bhi uske stann sookhe nahi the bas jis dawa ko 3-4 saal tak Rekha ne apne nipple par laga laga ke doodh ko band kia tha woh Arjun ne wapis nikal di thi.
Arjun ke mooh me woh garam-meetha doodh jaane laga toh swayam he uska dusra hath upar wale stann ko dhundne laga. Uske hath ki is harkat par mand mand muskurati Rekha ne bete ka wahi roop dekha toh dusra doodh bhi ajaad karti uske hath me thama dia. Ungliyon se dheere dheere dusre nipple ko woh kheenchta bache ki tarah he laga raha fir khud he nipple mooh se nikal kar maa ki chaati se laga shant ho gaya.
'Mera bacha.' Aise he Rekha apne bete ka sar jaane kitni der sehalti apne se lagaye ateet ko yaad karti rahi. Poore 3 saal ka hone ke baad bhi woh apni maa ko jab akela dekhta tha toh chuchi ke chipak jata tha. Lalita ji bhi kehti thi ki Rekha iski shaadi bhi ho jayegi toh bhi teri he chaati se chipka rahega ye. Fir kaise apne pati ke gussa karne par bhi woh chupke chupke usko din me 2-3 baar doodh pila he deti thi. 5 saal ka woh hua tha toh uski saas ne he kaha tha ke doctor ko dikha ke iska doodh band karwa do nahi toh woh bachda is gaayen se hamesha laga rahega. Kitni dawa li thi lekin ye doodh kabhi band he nahi hota tha. Fir khud maaji ne 36 mahine tak "Othli" aur "kujji" se banai desi dawa di thi Rekha ko jis se chuchuk ke chidra band hue the. Har samay ye dukhte rehte the aur woh saari raat apne bete ko yaad karti rehti thi. Na woh agle 9 saal aaya na inka dard kam hua. Unke pati bhi toh sirf inhe thaamte he the, kabhi mooh nahi lagate the kyonki unhe toh aise nipple pasand he na the. Waise bhi woh Rekha ke sath humbister bhi kaha kitna hote the, mahine me 2-3 baar aur kabhi 2 mahine me 3-4 baar. Ye sab sochti sochti woh neend me chali gai aur fir 5 baje apni jethani ke darwaja khatkane ki awaaj se he jaagi.
"Rekha, baarish tej ho rahi hai. Tu bathroom se farig ho ja mai chai bana ke laati hu tere kamre me." Lalita ji ne itna kaha aur idhar hamesha chetna me rehne wala Arjun duniya bhula ke bas apni maa ke doodh se honth chipkaye soya pada raha.
"Aai didi. 2 minute.", Bahot halke se unhone kaha lekin shayad Lalita ji ne sun lia tha. Arjun ke gardan tak chaadar daal kar woh uth khadi hui. Zero ke prakash me apne huliye par najar daali toh sharam aur muskaan chehre par aa gai thi. Upar ka hissa bilkul nirvastra tha aur dono parvat bahar chipakte hue nikle pade the. Baain taraf wala toh abhi bhi halka geela tha.
'Dusre wala kal pee lio. Aaj ek he sahi.' fir kapde leti woh bathroom me ghus gai. Sawa panch baje lalita ji jab kamre me aai toh dekha ke Arjun gehri neend me apni maa ke bister par soya pada tha. Gol table ke sath lagi 2 kursiyon me se ek par woh baith kar wo us ladke aur kamre ko bas dekhti rahi idhar Rekha ji bhi naha dho kar saree me ab andar aa chuki thi.
"Ye tere sath soya tha?", Lalita ji ki najar abhi bhi Arjun par he thi.
"Han. Raat tabiyat thik nahi thi didi meri, toh dawa ke sath pani lene fridge ki taraf gai toh fir Arjun ne dekh lia tha. Raat talve ki maalish karne ke baad fir mere sath he so gaya tha. 3 baje uthi thi baarish ki awaaj se fir wapis tub,balti aur charpai galiyare me rakh ke aa kar lait gai thi." Wo bhi ek nigah apne is chote se batche par dalti chai ka cup uthati apni jethani se batiyane lagi.
"Itna bada ghoda ho gaya hai aur dekh le maa ke sath soya pada hai.", Baat toh unki ye majaak me he nikli thi lekin Rekha ji ki aankh me do boonde aa gai thi.
"Arre pagal. Meri baat par tu rone kyo lagi? Main toh waise he majaak kar rahi thi." Lalita ji ne cup table par rakhte kaha
"nahi didi aapki baat kabhi buri nahi lagti. Main toh bas ye yaad kar rahi thi ki mera bacha kitna chota sa tha jab mujh se alag kar dia tha isko. Ye kabhi apni maa se alag na raha tha aur fir 10 saal baad ye mere seene se lag kar soya hai.", Lalita ji bhi ek maa thi aur woh atche se samajh sakti thi Rekha ka dard. Mahol ko thik karne ke hisab se woh chir-parichit andaaj me bol padi.
"Fir toh munna ko chuchi lagwai hogi is khushi me.? Ya kahi kuch aur toh na kar dia isne, poora ghoda ho gaya tera ye munna?", Rekha ke toh gaal he laal ho gaye the Lalita ji ki baat par. Fir sharmati si woh boli toh ab unki jethani ki aankhen chaudi ho gai thi baat sunkar.
"Wo mere fir se doodh utarna shuru ho gaya hai." Rekha ji ne toh najar jhuka li lekin Lalita ji toh bhochakki si reh gai.
"tune isko pilai ya isne pee?", bas itna he bol paai woh lekin Rekha ji ne saari baat vistaar se bataai toh Lalita ji ke chehre par chamak aa gai.
"Dekh le aaj upar se doodh nikal dia isne ek raat me. Aur jitna dhyan se isko maine dekha hai na ye tere aur kahi se bhi nikal dega." Apni baat par woh hansi toh Rekha ji ko samajh aaya ke ye kya bol gai hai. Wo jhootha sa nkhra karti tray uthati hui boli
"Aisa kuch nahi hai didi. Bacha hai woh aur aapne aisa kya dekh lia jo mujhe mere bete me na dikha?", Wo khadi ho chuki thi toh Lalita ji bhi sath he uthti hui boli.
"Bache paida karne layak ho chuka hai woh. Sharir se he nahi har taraf se ghoda ho chuka hai. Beshak tujhe meri baat buri lage Rekha, lekin ek tere jaisi bharpoor aurat ko aisa he Junglee ghoda past kar sakta hai. Jiske bas ek baar tere thann mooh me bharne se doodh bahar aa gaya ho. Aur tu khud he soch ke tum dono me kitna pyaar hai ke sharir ko bhi ehsaas hai ke iska maalik kon hai. Komal ki baari me tera doodh bhi sahi se na utra tha toh mai pila deti thi aur Ritu ne toh peeya he 6 mahine aur fir band. Lekin iske andar sirf tera khoon aur doodh abhi tak hilore le raha." Rekha ko wahi sochti chodd kar Lalita ji bahar chali aai. Beshak woh pehle majaak kar rahi thi lekin unka har shabd teer sa laga tha Rekha ke dil par. Aur jara bhi jhooth nahi thi unki baat. Arjun jab bachpan me doodh peeta tha toh kai baar unka skhallan sirf uske doodh peene aur nipple kheenchne bhar se ho jata tha.
Sharmati sakuchati si woh rasoighar me aa gai jahan unki jethani doodh dalwane ke liye bada patila dho rahi thi.
"Lalita, barta de jara bahar Sadhu khada hai barish me.", Kaushalya ji andar aati boli toh Rekha aur Lalita dono ne pehle unka aashirwad lia fir Kaushalya ji bartan lekar bahar chal di. Aangan me he Sadhu Singh khada Pandit ji se batla raha tha.
"Namaskar maaji." Kaushalya ji ko dekhte he usne dono hath jodte hue najre neechi kar li thi.
"Saadhu, tu barsaat me bhi niyam ka pakka hai. Grahan wale din choddkar toh aaj tak deri nahi ki tune kabhi." Patila saamne rakhti Kaushalya ji khadi hoti uski prashansha kare lagi aur woh bade kanastar se is 5 kilo ke bartan ko bharne laga jispar ek badi chalni pehle he rakhi thi.
"Pandit ji se seekha hai mata ji samay ki kadar karna. Nahi toh baap-dada ke raj me the toh khet jaane ki sudh bhi nahi rehti thi." Waise he araam se wo doodh dalta bola toh daadhi banate Pandit ji muskura uthe.
"Arre samajhdar tha tabhi toh maan gaya tha ek thappad me. Nahi toh log toh katal karke bhi nahi sudharte.", Pandit ji ki is baat par ye janaab hans bhar diye.
"Aapke paute ko dekha tha Pandit ji 3-4 baar. Andhere me he daud lagata woh ganv se bhi aage nikal jata hai. Lekin 2 din se dikhai nahi dia toh socha aaj poochta chalu.", Saadhu Singh ki baat par Kaushalya devi ki bohen tann gai.
"Tere ganv se bhi aage jata hai? Aur pakka pata hai ke woh Arjun he hai?", Ek baar aur pakka karne ke uddeshya se unhone ye kaha toh Pandit ji toh bas baithe muskurate rahe lekin Saadhu Singh thoda jhemp sa gaya.
"Ji maaji. Wo Shankar bhai se bhi uncha aur chauda hai na toh pehchan toh gaye the baaki thode din pehle jab mera beta usko barish me ghar choddne aaya tha idhar toh 2 ghadi baatein bhi hui thi. Sach kahu maaji ladka kya hai heera hai.", Kanastar ko band kia toh darwaje ke peeche se Lalita ji ne apni saas ko pukara. 3 cup chait unhe pakdati wo doodh ka bartan darwaje ke peeche se he andar le gai.
"Le chai pee pehle. Aur ha wahi hai tere Pandit ji ka ladla lekin aaj abhi tak dikha nahi. Stadium se bhi usko mana kia hai uske coach ne jyada daud lagane se toh shayad neend poori kar raha hoga kisi kamre me.", Aate ke biscuit ki plate Saadhu Singh ki taraf badhati woh boli. Rameshwar ji toh chataai bicha kar he daadhi banate the aur Saadhu Singh bhi wahi baith gaya tha ek moodhe par. Kaushalya ji plastic ki kursi par asli thaanedar si viraji hui thi. Itni he der me apni daadi ko peeche se gale lagata Arjun bhi bahar aa gaya. Saamne tha Saadhu Singh.
"Namastey uncle." Itna bolkar woh paanv choone ke baad apne dada ki bagal se chipak ke baith gaya.
"Ram-Ram beta. Tumhare dadaji se abhi tumhari he baat ho rahi thi.", Unki baat ko sunkar Arjun teeno ke chehre dekhne laga lekin mooh khola Kaushalya ji ne.
"Tu ganv se aage tak kabse daud lagane laga? Aur fir itni dur jata hai tu bhaagte hue?", Sawaal thoda sakht tha aur chintit thi uski daadi.
"Arre daadi kaisi baat karti ho. 4 kos kaun daudega ek taraf. Matla 8 kos. Woh toh mai cycle leke ganv taka jata hu. Pehle jungle me apni daud aur kasrat poori karne ke baad tehalta hua nehar ke pas man behla leta hu. Lekin ek din koshish ki thi apna dum dekhne ki. 35-40 minute lag gaye the Gaanv paar karke agle jungle tak jane me apne ghar se. Woh toh aate hue uncle ke bete Mahender bhai ne ghar chodd dia, nahi toh library ke samay he ghar wapis aane wala tha." Arjun ne chaturai se baat bata di thi. Jitna sach jaruri tha utna aur Kaushalya ji toh gadgad ho gai thi bache ki itni mehnat dekh kar.
"Arre mai jaanti hu mera laal bahot majboot hai lekin tere uncle se he pooch le ke us taraf junglee suar, gauh, siaar aur saanp bhi bahot hote hai. Bas yahi darr hai nahi toh tujhe koi rok-tok thodi na hai." Saadhu Singh ne bhi haan me haan milai.
"Maaji baat 16 aane sahi hai. Gaanv toh chalo surakshit jagah hai lekin abhi khet me 8 foot ka saamp nikla tha mere.", Saadhu Singh ki baat par Arjun apne dada sath laga muskurane laga.
"Ab inhe ye nahi batayega ke tu hans kyo raha hai.?" Pandit ji ko toh apne bache ka thoda bhed tha lekin Saadhu Singh ko toh bilkul na tha aur uski daadi toh waise he bacho ke liye savdhan rehti thi.
"Uncle aapke ghar me koi mehmaan aaye toh aap kya karte hai? Usko bitha ke uska swagat karte hai aur khatirdari. Aise he koi dushman aa jaye toh fir aap usko karara jawaab denge. Lekin maine hostel aur khud ki is prakriti ko dekhne ki ruchi se seekha hai ke janwar bilkul aise nahi hote. Aap unke daayre me jao toh pehle aapko pata hona chahiye ke uska swabhav kaisa hai. Saanp sirf tabhi hamla karega jab woh dara hua ho ya fir woh nagraj ho kyonki woh toh raja hai. Aise he sabhi vyavahar karte hai. Mai saamne se aate haathi ko dekh kar raste se hatt jaunga toh woh seedha chal dega. Lekin danda dikhaunga toh fir kahi nahi dikhunga." Hanste hue usne ye baat kahi toh ab Pandit ji ne apne pote ki peeth par haath ferti hue shabashi di.
"Waise bhi is aas pas ki vanya-shakti me meri takkar ka toh janwar mushkil hai uncle. Insaan hu na." Ye badi gehri baat kahi thi jisko Kaushalya ji bhi samajh gai thi.
"Hahaha. Sahi baat kahi beta. Tumhari aunty bhi keh rahi thi ki Shankar ji ke bete ko toh kala tika laga ke ghar me rakhna chahiye. Kab kon nazar laga de. Maine unhe bata dia tha ke ye ghoda Pandit ji ka hai toh raste se nahi bhatkega aur kisi ki najar isko lagne nahi wali. Atcha maaji, ek aakhiri ghar me doodh dena hai apne Col sahab ke. Ab ijajat dijiye. Aur beta kabhi aao toh fir tumhe khet-khalihan bhi dikhate hai." Waha se uth kar wo barish me he apni barsati fir se sharir par daal nikal liye bada kanastar uthate.
Arjun ko col sahab ke naam se yaad aaya raat ko Renuka se kia vada lekin fir baarish ki taraf dekhta bas woh wahi baitha doodh sudakne laga jo daadi ne saamne rakh dia tha, 2 laddu ke sath.
"Munna, doodh peene ke baad chaata leke jaiyo jara Satish bhai sahab ke ghar. Boliyo ke maine bulaya hai unke bhai ne nahi.", Kaushalya ji ne pyaar se ye baat kahi toh Rameshwar ji ne ek baar apni biwi ko dekha fir toliye se chehra saaf karte us dandi wale sheeshe me dekhne lage, kahi koi baal na reh gaya ho. Roj ka niyam tha unka ye jabs police me bharti hue the.
"Daadi telephone mila do na." Arjun ne itna bola toh Rameshwar ji ne halke se uska kaan umeth dai.
"Jab baat jaruri ho aur insaan bhi toh 100 kilometer jaa kar bhi baat karni chahiye. Aur ye toh 10 kadam par hai. Izzatt aur pyaar ye choti choti baatein sikhati hai. Phone hai emergency wali suvidha. Samajh gaya maharaj Patiala?" Arjun ki halat dekh kaushalya ji ne apne pati ko jhooti fatkaar laga di.
"bacha hai abhi. Chodo kaan uska aur chalo andar kameej pehan lo aap. Ye baniyaan he mili hai virasat me is ghar ko.", Arjun aur dadaji dono he hans diye daadi ke andar jaate he. Lekin fir usne ek sabak seekh lia tha. "Mehatvapurn Insaan ke saamne jaa kar baat karni chahiye. Ehsaas hota hai ke woh kitna jaruri hai."
.
.
"Andar aa jao bhaiya. Uncle ne kaha hai.", Parvati ne bahar gate par chatri liye Arjun se kaha toh woh baramde me chatri ko khula he jameen par tikata fir andar aa gaya. Col sahab chai peene lag rahe the wahi drawing room me baithkar aur koi waha dikh nahi raha tha.
"Good morning chote daadu." Unse aashirwad le woh bhi samne baith gaya.
"Hanji nawaab sahab, aisi baarish me aaj aap hamare gareebkhane me?", Arjun se majaak karte unhone kaha toh woh bhi muskurata unka jawab dene laga.
"Wo kya hai ke mujhe laga itni baarish me toh aap kahi jaane se rahe toh aaj kyo na aapke he sath pakode khaye jaye.", Kaam ki baat choddkar woh bhi table par ulti rakhi plate ko ghumata bola toh Col sahab ne Parvati ko awaaj di.
"Sun rahi ho Parvati beta. Aaj chote Pandit ji pakode khaane aaye hai subah 6 baje. Hahaha.", Parvati bahar ko jhankti bas thoda sa muskura di.
"Arre nahi Parvati didi aap kaam karo mai toh baat karne aaya tha. Haan toh daadu, woh aapki bhabhi ji ne kaha hai ke aapko bata du unhone aapko jaruri yaad kia hai. Aur ye bhi bola hai ke bata dena ki khas unhone he bulaya hai.", Arjun ki baat par unhone cup neeche rakh dia.
"Tumhari chatri bahar he rakhi hai na? Yahi baitho mai ja raha hu tumhare ghar aur Preeti uth jaaye toh bata dena ke mai kaha par hu. Parvati, tum beta iske liye aalu gobhi ke pakode bana do. Mai nashta wahin karunga.", Pajame kurte me he woh bahar nikal gaye. Col sahab ko pata tha ke unki ye bhabhi jab bhi bulati hai toh baat jaruri he hoti hai. Sadharan hawai chappal me he chal diye apni badi bhabhi ji ki baat sun-ne. Idhar jab Arjun ne dekha ke woh akela hai aur Parvati toh rasoighar se nikalne wali nahi agle 20-30 minute toh pehle woh Renuka ji ke kamre me gaya jahan unke sath he Ritu aur Alka soi hui thi. Shayad der tak jaagi hongi wo sab. Wapis woh darwaja dhaalta chal dia apni shehjadi ke kamre me jo sirf waise he band tha.
Kamre me Preeti wahi kapdo me thi lekin saleti rang wali kasi hui baniyan aur waisi he choti nikkar me jiske kinare kaale rang ke the. Soye hue woh sach me kisi pari si lag rahi thi. Darwaja band karte hue woh Preeti ko kareeb se dekhta raha fir uski kamar par hath rakhta laitne ka upkram sa karta uske chehre par jhuk gaya.
"Sansar me is se badhkar khoobsurat koi ho nahi sakta." mann me itna bolta woh haule se kamar se hath upar kar uske gaal par jhuk gaya. Dil kisi generator ki tarah dhad-dhad kar raha tha lekin khud ko himmat deta woh bilkul chehre tak pahucha toh idhar Preeti ka chehra kuch seedha ho gaya kamar par ek sparsh mehsoos karte he. Dono ke honth chumbak se chipak gaye. Jahan Arjun ki aankhen is jadui ehsaas se band ho gai wahi Preeti ki neeli-hari aankhe kisi chamakte heere se khul gai. Arjun ne toh sirf dono ke honth he milaye the lekin neeche leti Preeti ne atche se uske honth mooh me bhar kar peene he shuru kar diye. Arjun ko kisi rooi ke halke dher ki tarah apni baahon me kasti Preeti ne apne upar lita lia tha. Pal bhar me he uske hath Arjun ki tshirt ke andar se uski peeth par reng rahe the aur woh jaise kisi kamjor bakre sa apni kasaai premika ki giraft me jakda tha.
Jabardasti toh woh bhi khud ko alag nahi karna chahta tha isliye shararat karna he usne sahi samjha. Haalat toh patli ho gai thi jo khud wo chaaku par gira tha. Himmat kar ke Arjun ne apne dono hath us choti si lacheeli baniyan me daale toh Preeti ne Arjun ki jubaan he apne mooh me bhar kar chusni shuru kar di aur dono tango me uske jakadte hue bas mumkin hota toh andar ghus jaati. Arjun ka dimag chalna band ho chuka tha lekin haath sarakte hue jaise he un sakht golo par pade toh wahi jamm gaye. Peeth par rengne wale haatho me ab Arjun ke kulhe jakad chuke the. Lekin Arjun waise he madhosh sa apni zindagi ke sabse sakht stanno ko hatho me bhar ke leta hua tha. Nipple aise mehsoos ho rahe the jaise koi 1/4" ka pech ho. Sakht, teekha aur saaf haatho me chubta hua.
"ohooo-ohooo.", Alka jo jaane kab se andar khadi ye dekh rahi thi lekin atchi baat thi ki usne bhi darwaja band kar rakha tha, ne unka dhyaan hatane ki koishi ki lekin dono beasar the. Arjun toh waise bhi kuch kar pane ki haalat me na tha lekin Preeti apne pyaar ko aaj shaeed karne par tuli hui thi.
"Oh hello.. Uth chodd de isko nahi toh fir ye tera aakhiri kiss he hoga.", Alka ne Preeti ka shikanja hilaya toh woh hosh me aai aur fir furti se bathroom me ja ghusi.
"Isne toh tera rape he kar dia." Tshirt se saaf dikh raha tha ke peeth par kharonche lagi thi aur honth thode fool gaye the. Arjun bister par seedha leta hua tej saanse le raha tha. Alka bhi bister par baith kar usko muskurati dekh rahi thi. 5 minute baad he Preeti bahar aai jo ab tshirt aur ek halke rang ke pajama pehne thi. Baal rubber se bandhe the aur chehra dhone ke baad jyada chamak raha tha.
"Aap Parvati ko bolo ke chai-coffee tayaar kar de mai aai.", Preeti ne gale lagte hue dheere se ye kaha toh Alka didi bahar nikal gai, hansti hui.
"Haan toh fir itni himmat kaise ho gai mujhe choone ki?", Arjun ke upar jhukti Preeti hansti hui boli toh Arjun ne hath jodd diye.
"Aaa.. umm. Tum haath mat jodo lekin yaad rakhna ke agli baar agar pas aaye toh mai jagah, log aur result ni dekhne wali. Fir rote rehna.", Gaal choom kar woh ek bar pyar se lipat gai toh Arjun ne bhi apni baah Preeti ki peeth se pyaar se rakh li.
"Chalo ab utho aur aise kisi ladki ke kamre me aainda mat aana." Arjun jaise he uthne laga toh is baar usne majbooti se Preeti ka chehra pakad lia. Baaji ulat gai thi aur yaha Preeti ki aankhen band ho gai thi, muskurahat bhi gayab thi waha se.
"Main isliye chahta hu ki tumhi woh ladki raho meri zindagi me jo mujhe isharo par chalaye. Mere hath lagane se tumhe dard ho sakta hai Preeti.", Aur fir gaal choom ke woh darwaja khol kar bahar aa gaya, jahan Ritu didi Renuka bua ke sath baithi coffee pee rahi thi aur Alka shayad rasoighar me kuch lene gai thi.
"Goodmorning." Arjun ne ek kursi kheenchte hue dono ki taraf dekhte hue kaha toh Renuka ji ke chehre par jaise koi bhav nahi tha lekin Ritu muskura rahi thi. Dono ne he goodmorning ka jawab dia toh Parvati ne coffee ke sath Pakode ki plate Arjun ke samne kar di. Alka bhi rasoighar se aati ek plate me pakode aur chutni leti unke samne baith kar muskurane lagi.
"Tujhe kya ho gaya jo aise muskura rahi hai?", Ritu didi ne jab ye baat Alka didi se kahi toh Arjun thoda jhemp gaya aur sar jhuka kar pakode khaane laga.
"Kuch nahi yar bas dekh rahi hu ke apna Arjun kaise is ghar me hukum de kar subah subah pakode banwane laga hai.", Is baat par toh Ritu didi bhi hans di. Fir woh bathroom jaane ka bol kar uth gai toh Alka bhi Preeti ke kamre ki taraf chali gai. Ek atirikt cup coffee ka Preeti ke liye lekar.
"Subah ka koi vada tha?", Renuka ji ne badi halki awaaj me bina dekhe ye baat kahi.
"Sorry. Wo raat ko maa ki tabiyat thik nahi thi toh neend deri se aai. Subah bahar baarish itni tej thi ki fir jaane se bimar he hona padta. Aap shaam ko tayar rehna mai 6 baje lene aaunga. Fir film dekhne chalenge." Utne dheeme he Arjun ne jawab dia.
"Koi baat nahi. Ab kaisi hai aapki maa?", Unki baat par Arjun ko kuch yaad sa aane laga lekin fir laga ke shayad woh sapna he tha.
"Kaha kho gaye? Waise picture ka kya program banaya hai?", Is baar Arjun ne dhyan dia tha ke Renuka us se kuch pooch rahi hai.
"Han.. Wo mai keh raha tha ke film kisko dekhni hai. 6 baje chalenge aur 8 baje wapis." Ek muskurahat se usne ye baat kahi toh Renuka ne mana kar dia.
"Nahi. Hum aise he kahi shant jagah ghoom sakte hai aur kisi dur park me ja sakte hai. Cinema nahi.", Arjun ko apni galti ka ehsaas ho gaya tha. Renuka ek sabhya aur pyaar karne wali mahila thi. Kaise usne ye soch lia ke woh cinema le jayega.
"Sorry. Wo galti se aur jaldbaji se maine bol dia. Aap jaisi shaam chahengi mai waisi he aapke sath bitaunga.", Aur fir kuch der dono he aisi baatein karte rahe toh Arjun wahan se uthkar apne ghar ki taraf chal dia. Baarish halki ho gai thi lekin baadal abhi bhi bane hue the aasman me. Subah sava saat ka samay bhi jaise saadhe panch bata raha tha. Gali sunsan he thi lekin jaise uska mann thoda ashant tha.
"Arjun, ja apne kamre ki safaai karwa le Maadhuri se. Aur Tara ko bhi neeche bhej dena uske maile kapdo ke sath.", Ghar me aaya nahi ke ek aur hukum mil gaya tha. Ye taaiji ki awaaj thi jo sabji kaat rahi thi. Wahi Komal didi dining table aur waha ka farsh saaf karne me lagi thi. Unke chehre par wo bholi muskan har samay rehti thi jab jab Arjun pas hota tha.
"Jaata hu Taaiji. Aur didi aap kaisi hai?", Lalita ji ko haan kehne ke baad Arjun apni pyaari didi se bola toh woh bholi si muskaan aur lambi ho gai thi. Unki badi badi aankhen jaise unki jubaan se jyada baatein karti thi lekin har koi toh ye bhasha samajhne se raha.
"Mai bilkul thik hu. Kaam se farig hone ke baad tum.. farig hone ke baad hum baat karenge.", baat ko sudharti woh sharma gai thi aur Arjun ne bhi unhe satana thik na samjha. Yaha se dadaji wala kamra band tha aur jab woh andar aaya tha tab baithak aur uske sath wale kamre ka darwaja bhi band tha. Fir wo daudta hua upar chal dia jaha Tara bister par pasri hui thi. Jaag chuki thi lekin fir bhi aalas se padi thi. Arjun seedha uske bagal me chalang lagata kamar ko pakad ke leit gaya.
"Tummmm.." Tara ekdum se chaunk gai fir Arjun ki ye harkat dekh thoda sa muskurati hui takiye me sar daal kar mooh chupane lagi. Arjun ne us bareek baniyan se top me kaakh ki taraf se hath daalte hue ek naram ubhar muthi me bhar lia.
"Kyon main nahi aa sakta kya?", Aur haule se uska nipple masal dia.
"Issss.. aah. aa sakte ho.. lekin aah itni subah aur seedha ye sab.", Tara ki tej siski sunte he Arjun ne hath kheench lia. Idhar Sanjeev bhaiya ke kamre se halki awaaj hui toh woh seedha ho gaya.
"Wo taai ji tumhe neeche bula rahi hai. Apne saare maile kapde sath me neeche leti jaana. Teeno kamro ki safaai hone lagi hai yahan upar aur aaj tumhari chutti bhi hai toh karo thodi sewa.", Arjun ki baat par Tara sharmati si khadi hui toh uske gol kulhe uski najro ke saamne aa gaye. Arjun ne ek baar bhaiya ke kamre ki taraf dekha aur apne haath se Tara ka woh golakar naram nitambh daba dia.
"Sudhar jao. Agar itna he dil hai toh fir atche se mere sath time spend kyo nahi karte? Kam se kam 2-3 din me ek ghanta toh nikal sakte ho?", Tara ne dil se ye baat kahi thi jaise woh Arjun ke liye taras gai ho. "Chahe sirf baatein he kar lena lekin mere sath akele. Please"
"Pakka promise. Monday mai he tumhe chodde jaunga fir sham ko laate samay bahar chalenge aur agar mumkin nahi hua toh fir saari raath tumhare sath." Dono he itni dhire awaj kar rahe the ki ek dusre tak he ja rahi thi. Fir Tara bathroom me ghus gai kapde badalne aur saamne wale kamre me Arjun ko salwar kameej me jhaadu lagati Maadhuri didi ka pichwada najar aaya. Sthiti ko samajhte hue usne khade hote hue awaaj di.
"Didi, wo taiji bol rahi thi ki mera kamra bhi thik kar dena safaai karne ke sath he. Aur maile kapde bhi dekh lena.", Maadhuri didi ne uski unchi awaaj suni toh thoda hairani se dekha lekin fir bathroom se bister ki taraf jaati Tara ko dekh woh haule se muskura di. 5 minute me he Tara ne koi 5-6 jodi kapde ekatthe kar liye the.
"Didi, mai neeche ja rahi hu. Please safaai ke baad saare doors ek baar khol dena. Pollen-allergy hai mujhe toh mai dusting se dur rehti hu." Tara ki is baat se Arjun ko samajh aaya ke woh rasoighar ke kaam aur bartan dhone jaise kaam he kyo karti hai aur scooter par bhi jyadatar apne chehre par rumaal rakh leti thi. Ek baar Arjun ko muskura ke dekh woh neeche chali gai. Aur sab taraf dekhne ke baad Arjun waise he bister par aa leta.
"Yaha kyon leta hai?", Maadhuri didi idhar aai toh Arjun ko aise araam karte dekh thoda hairan ho gai.
"Kyon? Kuch kaam tha didi?", Arjun ne gambhir chehra banate hue kaha toh Maadhuri didi ne chehra ghuma lia. Arjun hanste hue khada hua aur peeche se unko jakad ke bola.
"Bathroom ya Mera kamra.?", Aur unke kharbuje masalte hue salwar ke upar se he apna wo sakht lund unke kulho ki darar me daba dia.
"Pehle ye aur tumhare kamre ka darwaja laga do.", Maadhuri didi apne kulhe hilati Arjun ke kamre me chal di idhar Arjun ne woh darwaja band kia toh uske kamre ka darwaja didi khud band karne lagi thi. Haath chitakni ko band karte upar uthe idhar Arjun ne fir se unhe peeche se jakad lia.
"Aaj sirf mai karunga aur aap maje logi.", Itna bolkar Arjun ne Maadhuri didi ko diwar se lagaye he unki salwar dheeli karte hue unke pairon me gira di. Motte kulhe uske saamne the jahan koi nishan ya daag na tha. Bhaari aur unnat nitambh, jinke sath apna nanga motta lund lagate hue Arjun ne kameej ke andar se he unke motte doodh pakad liye. Yaha unke kulho ki darar me woh bada danda ghusne ki koshish kar raha tha wahi Arjun ne unka chehra peeche karte hue honth mooh me bharte hue ek hath se unke ek kade nipple ko chutki me bharte hue sharir ko ko uttejit karna shuru kar dia.
"Main toh khud chahti hu ki ab har roj mujhe pyaar kare lekin jaanti hu ye jyada ho jayega. Jitna kar sakta hai utna pyaar apni is didi ko dede bhai. Aur meri shaadi se pehle hafte tu har bhaar mere andar he karega.", Maadhuri didi sisakti hui boli. Unka sharir he itna bhara hua tha ke woh jahir karta tha unke sharir me bhare kaam ko. Kuch pal baad he dono bister par the jaha Maadhuri didi apne chote bhai ka lund sehlati leti hui thi aur unke upar jhuka Arjun unke bhoore aur unmaad se bhare chuchak peene me laga tha. Jab choot me uchit geelapan aur lund bilkul fool kar kada ho gaya toh Arjun ne unki jaanghe failate hue mota supada us fooli hui chikni choot ke chedd par tikate hue karara dhakka jad dia. Aadha lund fachch se choot me utar gaya toh bina ruke he usne ek aur dhakka lagate hue apne verrya se bhaari ho chuke andkosh unki gaand se chipka diye.
"aah. .. bhai ye toh aur jyada bada mehsoos ho raha hai. Choot andar se dard karne lagi hai." Karahti hui Maadhuri apne chote bhai ka andaaj dekh masti se doguni ho gai thi. Aur idhar Arjun ne toh soch he lia tha ke wo Maadhuri didi ko aaj sirf teji aur jor se chodne wala hai. Har dhakke par woh sisakne lagti thi. Motte doodh thirak rahe the aur kulho ko Arjun atche se daboche jad tak apna khoonta unki choot ki gehrai me utaar raha tha. 10 minute me he woh kisi baadh ki taraf paani chodti jhadne lagi toh Arjun ne unko palat dia. Kamar me hath daal upar uthate hue bina koi parwah kiye jab fir se unki ab thodi ubhri choot ke chedd par lund tikati hue poora ghusaya toh ek cheekh nikal gai unke mooh se jisko Arjun ne unka mooh dabate hue band kar dia tha.
"Didi, agli baar jab bhi aap mere sath soyengi mai aapki isme jarur karunga.", Neeche jhoolte 3-3 kilo ke kharubuje daboche woh gaand par jhatke maarta Maadhuri didi ki choot ko faadne me he laga tha. Har dhakke ke sath woh aage sarakne lagi thi. Aur ye poora kamra bas unki dard aur masti ki aahon se bhar chuka tha.
"ummmm.. aaaaahhhhhh.. Jaha marji kar re.. tu he iska pehla.. aah.. maalik hai... ummm. Aaj tera ye josh dekh ke maja... aa gaya aah maa .. ", Choot toh jaisi ab haar maan chuki thi lekin aadhe ghante me unka poora sharir jhinhod kar rakh dia Arjun ne. Maadhuri didi ko bhi aaj pata chala tha ke kitna majboot sharir hai uske is chote bhai ka.
Lund ko bahar nikal kar Arjun ne unhe baahon me uthate hue honth choomne shuru kar diye. Ishare se unke panv apni kamar par lipatwate hue ab woh fir se lund choot me ghused kar hawa me liye chudaai me lag gaya.
"Aah didi.. Dekho jara.. kaise aap le rahi ho.." Sheeshe me Maadhur ka woh youvan se lada jism Arjun kisi halkifulki gudiay sa uthaye lagbhag raund he raha tha aur Maadhuri didi ek baar dono ko is awastha me dekhti fir uske kandhe ko pakad wapis choomne lag gai. Lund choot ko failane laga toh dono he samajh gaye ke antim samay najdik hai. Maadhuri didi ko aise he goad me liye woh bathroom me ghus gaya.
"Aah didi. Sach batana aise aapko maja aaya?", Waha diwar se lagaye woh unko jhuk kar peeche se pelta bola toh Maadhuri didi ke shabd maje me aadhe adhure he nikal rahe the. Choot bahar tak laal ho chuki thi aur ek dhaage ki tarah lisalisa paani bahar latak raha tha.
"aaahh.. majaaaaaaa.. maiii.. toh.. aahhhh maa.. maje se marne .. eeeeee.. marne.. gaiii re.. ", shower ka handle thaam woh diwar se chipki toh Arjun fatne ki haalat me pahunch chuke apne lund ko us paune inch gehri gaand ki darar me ragadne laga.. "Aah didi..mai bhi gaya." Pasine me bheega uska badan chamak raha tha. Har manspeshi aise fool gai thi jaise gym me 2 ghante se mehnat kar raha ho. 6-7 tej pichkari apne gaadhe paani ki didi ki peeth aur kulho par barsane ke baad woh wahi farsh par baith gaya.
Maadhuri bhi taange pasarti diwar se lag kar gehri saanse lene lagi. dono ek dusre ke samne baithe bas muskura rahe the.
"Atchi safaai karne laga hai tu. Aur ye toh maine nahi sikhaya tha." Woh waise he shanti se boli toh Arjun ne bina jawab diye phuhara khol dia aur 5 minute baad dono uske kamre me kapde pehan rahe the.
"Didi, ek poori raati maine aapke ye peene hai. Aaj sirf maine aapko maja dena tha kyonki samay kam tha. Lekin mai chahta hu ke ek poori raat mai aapko sone na du." Arjun ne didi ki kameej gardan se neeche aane se pehle unke bhaari aur mulayam doodh ko kas ke dabate hue apni itcha jahir ki toh Maadhuri didi ne ek meetha chumban uske hontho par karte hue bahar dhakel dia.
"Dekhenge abhi tu neeche jaa. Nashta lag gaya hoga mai 10 minute me aati hu.", Unki taange thodi fail gai thi is bheeshan chudai se. Arjun bhi hansta hua neeche chal dia.
'Pakka ghoda ho gaya hai aur haye raam kaise kutaai ki hai aaj. Itna motta ho gaya ek hafte me he hai.' bister par Arjun ki chadar thik karti woh abhi tak maje me thi
.
.
Nashte se farig hone par Arjun ne dekha ki andar se Col sahab aur Dadaji aa rahe hai. Chehre sapaat the toh kehna mushkil tha ke kya baat hui hongi andar lekin fir mahol ko dekhte he dono chehra shant karte hue khana khane baith gaye. Thodi der baad he daadiji bhi aa gayi aur woh khud he pyaar se dono ka bhojan parosne lagi thi. Aaj 9 baj gaye the is samay tak aur aangan me ab barish ki boonde girni band ho chuki thi.
"Arjun bahar chal jara mere sath.", Komal didi chehakti hui aai aur uski baju kheenchti si bina kisi ki parwah kiye baahar le chali. Rameshwar ji hans diye the kyonki unko pata tha ke kya hua hoga.
"Sunti ho. Ek aarti ka thaal leke bahar jao jara." Kaushalya ji bhi bina deri kiye plate lekar mandir me chal di.
"Waah. Ye toh jo maine dekhi thi us se bhi kahi shandar hai.", 2 log unke aangan me khade the. Unki halki neeli kameej bata rahi thi ki thoda bahut toh geele hue hai woh. Unme se ek motorcycle ko kapde se chamkane me laga tha.
"Sir ye Rameshwar ji ke naam se li gai hai hamari ab tak ki behtareen 350 Royal Enfield Machismo. Aap yaha sign kar dijiye aur baaki documents Mr Sanjeev Sharma ke pas pehle he diye ja chuke hai. Delivery deri se karne ke liye maafi chahte hai kyonki pehle he iski 60 din ki advance booking chal rahi hai." Wo vyakti kisi rattu totte ki tarah bataye ja raha tha lekin Arjun toh motorcycle ke charo aur ghoomta bas is chamakdar aur badi si machine ko dekhne me laga tha.
"Baad me baithna.", Kaushalya ji thaali lekar pas aai toh Arjun ne woh unke hath se lete hue Komal didi ko pakda di. Jo apni daadi ki taraf dekh rahi thi uljhan se.
"Arre jab isne tujhe karne ko kaha hai toh tu tilak kar. Maine bahot kar liye hai pehle he.", Kaushalya ji ne khushi se kaha toh didi motorcycle ke light aur chakke ke upar wale steel ke frame par tilak lagane ke baath handle par mauli baandthi bhai ki salamati ki dua maangne lagi. Arjun bhaag kar apne kamre me gaya aur batua utha ke le aaya.
"Ye pyaari daadi aur didi ke liye shagun. Aur thank you daadi iske liye.", Dono ke hath me 1100 rupaye rakhte hue woh daadi se gale mila aur fir apni behan ko goad me utha kar agli seat par bitha dia.
"Kya kar raha hai Arjun?", Daadi ke samne bhai ki is harkat par Komal didi thoda darr gai thi.
"Pyaar karta hai tujhse jaise tu karti hai. Aur agar isne soch lia hai ke tu sabse pehle baithegi toh fir harj kaisa. Chal ab meri bachi ko bitha ke chala ke dikha jara.", Kaushalya ji toh apne bacho ka itna pyaar dekh fooli nhi sama rahi thi aur Arjun ne motorcycle pehle bhi bahot baar chalai thi jab Sanjeev bhaiya apne office ke kisi bhi dost ki lekar aate the.
"Sahi kaha daadi. Didi ko he sabse pehle mai chakkar lagwa ke leke aaunga. Bas 5 minute me aaya wapis.", Komal ko waise he neeche utaar kar woh aage baitha aur tanki par lage sticker par gear ka nishan dekh daba ke kick laga di.
"dug-dug.. dug-dug." woh bhari bharkam awaaj poore ghar ke andar tak sunai padi aur panja neeche dabate he Arjun ne halki race dete hue aangan me usko gate ki taraf modd lia.
"Ab jaldi se baitho bhi.", Komal idhar udhar dekhne lagi thi. Nange paanv aur ghar ke salvar kameej me.
"Daadi aap he bolo na. Mai konsa motorcycle ko rok kar inhe paidal chalaunga.", Kaushalya ji hansti hui hath hilati komal ko boli toh woh sharmati si peeche baith gai. Dheere dheere aage badhata woh sambhalte hue is bhari-bharkam bullet ko bahar liye chal dia.
"Didi ye mera sapna tha. Ek din aapko ispar bitha ke kahi dur leke jaunga. Sirf hum-dono aur sirf dur tak jaati khaali sadak.", Koi 3-4 gali ke baad he Arjun aur us dupahiya gaadi me jaise ek bandhan sa judd gaya tha. Woh bhi ab uske hisab se araam se chalne lagi thi. Nahi toh Bullet ke baare me toh prasidh tha ke atche atche dhurandhar bhi isko sambhal nahi sakte the. Komal apne chote bhai ki peeth se lagi isko ek sapne sa dekh rahi thi. Poore 10 minute baad dono wapis aaye the aur ab uski sabhi behne bade dhyaan se is ajoobe ko dekh rahi thi. Laal aur steel rang ki ye 200 kilo vajni machine apne aap me he bemisal thi. Aise he usne sabko thoda bahot ghuamaya aur idhar daadi ji ne bhi showroom se aaye dono vyaktiyon ko 101 rupaye ke sath chai-nashta karwa ke vida kia.
"Bhai ab toh tum bhi gaadi wale ho gaye.", Col Sahab ne muskurate hue tareef bhi ki Arjun ki pasand ki aur fir unhone khud chappal pehne he chala ki bhi dikhai. Arjun ke sath abhi ghulmil ke woh thoda behtar mehsoos kar rahe the.
"Daadu, ye kiski hai.?", Preeti ghar me aai toh Col sahab he seat par baithe the aur waha sirf Kaushalya ji, Panditji aur Arjun he khade the.
"Ye beta dahej ki pehli kist di hai tere dada ne.", Kaushalya ji ke is jawaab par dono bade tahaka maarte hansne lage toh Arjun jhemp gaya aur Preeti ne najre jhuka li.
"Beta ye tere bade dada ne is nalayak ko di hai. Keh rahe the ke meri bachi ab scootry ya scooter par thodi jayegi stadium.", Col sahab ne puchkarte hue kaha toh Preeti ne Arjun ki fir se class laga di.
"Bade daadu fir driver ki vardi? Wo toh aap bhool gaye." Arjun chah ke bhi jawaab na de paya tha is baat ka.
"Beta wo toh ab tu he bata dio kaisi silwani hai. Hamare kaha sunega ab ye. Gaadi aa gai, jameen bhi naam hai, ghar bhi aur tu bhi. Toh ye toh apni malkin ki sunega ya hamari.", Kaushalya ji aur Col sahab ne soch lia tha ke dono ki class he laga ke rakhni hai.
"Dadaji?" Arjun ne thoda naraaj hote hue Rameshwar ji ki baahn pakdi toh woh bole.
"Bas bhai bahot hua majaak ab. Han. Aise he tum dono in bacho ke peeche pade ho. Jao beta tum Preeti ko cinema le jao.", Unhone bhi aakhir me hanste hue seep laga di toh Preeti ghar ke andar bhaag gai aur Arjun bagiche me.
"Oye chaabi toh leta ja." col sahab ne awaaj di toh Arjun ne palat kar bas itna kaha, "motorcycle me rehne do. Mai bagiche me naali bana raha hu." Rameshwar ji bhi fir col sahab ke sath chalte barsaat ke baad geele bagaiche ka jayja lene lage the. Kai jagah atcha paani jama ho gaya tha aur Arjun lohe ki khurpi se lakeer banata usko halka khodte hue peeche ki dhalan tak banane laga tha. Patte aur daaliyan toot kar bikhar gai thi jinhe woh sath he utha kar dheri banane laga.
"Bhai sahab damaad ho toh aisa ho. Atcha kia tha aapne jo bachpan me he meri bachi ko iske liye maang lia tha. Khair woh toh pehle se he aapki he hai. Lekin ye bacha itna qaabil hai ke Preeti he khushkismat hai. Nahi toh aisa dusra toh mushkil he hoga kahi. Meri galti rahi ki maine Renuka ke liye koi aisa kyo nahi dekha ya aapse salah nahi kar paya.", Dono log badi phulon ki jhaadiyon si diwar ke sath lage Arjun ko aise kaam me mashgool dekhte baatein kar rahe the.
"Satish, iske bachpan me maine isko chup karane ke liye kaha tha ke tere liye vilayti gudiya aayegi jo bilkul pari jaisi hogi. Fir Preeti aai toh jaise ye shuru se bas uske he aage peeche rehta tha. Na iske koi bache dost the na uske. Shankar ne mujhe kaha tha ke agar koi is ladke ko seedha kar sakta hai toh yahi bachi hai kyonki Preeti ke naam par ye 6 saal ki umar me har us baat ko maan leta tha jo ye kabhi aamtaur par nahi karta tha. Mere bhai ek tarah se toh ye tera ehsaan hai jo ek kachi baat ko tune pakki kar dia. Aur main ek baat aur bhi bata du, agar aisa nahi hua toh fir 10 Shankar bhi us aafat ko nahi rok paayenge jise abhi tu qaabil aur kohinoor bata raha hai.", Col Sahab bhi ye baat samajh gaye the. Unhe bhi atche se pata tha ke dono bache ek dusre ke liye poori prem bhavna rakhte hai. Preeti toh Arjun se dur hone ke baad jaise Arjun ban gai thi. Kabhi kabhi toh aaj bhi uska gussa unhe dara deta hai.
"Bhai sahab chodiyen in baaton ko. Inka bhavishya in sath me he hai. Bas main abhi Renuka ke liye chintit hu. Khair parso jaunga main agle shehar aur jaisa bhabhi ji ne kaha hai Shankar ko bhi bula lunga, wo behtar jaanta hai logo ko aapse aur mujhse kahi. Doctor aadmi hai toh baat sahi karega.", Aakhiri baat par Rameshwar ji bhi muskura diye.
"Teri bhabhi isliye nahi bhej rahi usko ki woh doctor hai. Isliye bhej rahi hai ke wo Shankar hai aur tere me uski jaan basti hai. Pata nahi yar tum dono ka kaisa rishta hai aur mai jaan-na bhi nahi chahta.", Rameshwar ji ab bagiche ke andar aa gaye the jaha Arjun sara paani bahar kar chuka tha aur kachra 'compost' ke gadde me dabane ke baad khurchi hui mitti upar daal raha tha.
"Oh Khotte de puttar. Kade dimag la leya kar. Sanhe boot kehda banda kamm karda kyaari vch.?", Rameshwar ji pyar se daant lagate the toh Punjabi me lagate the usko, wo samajh nahi aati thi Arjun ko lekin Col sahab unki baat sunkar hanste hue andar aa gaye.
"Jab bhi mitti me kam karo toh beta joote utar dia karo.", Arjun mitti ke hath he sar pe ghista sa hans ke andar chal dia, nahane. Ye dono kursi jhaadte wahi baith gaye the.
.
.
"Maa, ab mai library ja raha hu. 12-1 baje tak aaunga. Aap ab pareshan nahi hogi, hai na meri achi maa?", Tayaar hone ke baad Arjun apni maa Rekha ke kamre me baitha tha jo ghar ka kaam nipta ke apne kamre me bister par baith kar kapde teh kar rahi thi. Arjun unhe gale laga ke bola toh woh waisi manmohak muskaan se uske gaal sehalati boli.
"Mera beta jab mera khyal rakh sakta hai toh mai kis baat ki chinta karne lagi." Arjun ko is muskaan ke samne kuch yaad nahi rehta tha. Aur bahar jane ka bolne wala ab wapis maa ki goad me sar rakhe bister par pasar gaya.
"Mera toh fir dil he ni karta kahi jaane ka. Ab dekho na fir se lag raha hai ke yahi so jaun aur aap lori sunao.", Bete ki is baat for woh uske kundal wale baalo me ungliyan firati bas uske chehre ko dekhte rahi. Kaisi kismat thi Rekha ki? Ek pati jo jahaan bhar me dilfenk tha lekin biwi ke liye mahine me bhi 2 ghadi samay nikalta tha, woh bhi sharirik santushti ke liye. Jiske liye band kamre me Rekha ne woh sab seekha jo pasand nahi tha, bas apne pati-parmeshwar ki itcha samajh ke.
'Aur ek ye tha, unka beta. Jiske peeche khud jahaan bhar ki ladkiyan padi thi, wo apni maa ko raat ke andhere me pehchan leta tha ki woh pareshan aur bimar hai. Jiske choone bhar se Rekha ko matritva ke sath he apne aurat hone ka ehsaas ho jata tha. Arjun woh vardaan tha unke liye jo ek khoobsurat chaliya tha. Kabhi unke pas hota toh kabhi agle he pal kai-kai din najre taras jaati thi dhyaan se dekhne ko.
"Atcha ab uth aur padhne ja. Nahi toh teri daadi ne dekh lia toh meri bhi shamat aa jayegi.", Wo usko dularti boli toh Arjun ki najar unke ek ubhar par jamm gai. Mehandi ke rang ki is saree ke neeche unke laal blouse ke ek ubhar par ek chota sa geela dhabba ban gaya tha jo thodi der pehle nahi tha. Rekha ji ne bhi dhyaan dia toh unhe pata lag gaya ke Arjun kaha dekh raha hai. Thodi sharmati si woh uske sar ko uthati fir se boli, "Ab ja fir bahot kaam bhi hai."
Arjun khada ho gaya aur apni maa ke chehre ke aur ek baar dekh kar bahar nikalta hua bola, "Matlab woh sapna nahi tha." aur ek bachkani muskaan udata bahar nikal gaya.
'Ye pagal samajh raha the ke sapna tha woh sab.' Aur apne sar pe hath rakh woh akele me he sharamti si muskaane lagi thi.
.
.
Library me baitha Arjun aaj bhi wahi 2 kitabe liye tha jinke shirshak the. 'Sharir- Ek rehasya' aur 'How to heal yourself'. Aur woh gehrai se unhe samajh raha tha.
.
.
"Daadi aapke liye phone hai, aapke bhai ka ganv se.", Kaushalya ji ghar ke samne rehdi wale se phal-sabji le rahi thi ki Alka ne bahar aa unhe awaaj lagai. Kaushalya ji ko pata tha ke unke dono bhai sirf holi-diwali ya jameen ki baat ke liye he phone karte the. Kaushalya ji ke ye dono he bhai takriban 58 aur 66 saal ke the. Lekin jaisa ki prachalan me tha woh behan ke ghar saal-tyohar he aate the.
"Aa gai mai Laxmi. Tu idhar ye sabji karwa le Gyaan se.", Alka ko sabji lene ke liye bol woh andar aai thode tej kadmo se kyonki bhai toh sirf kisi jaruri baat par he karte the phone.
.
.
"Hello, ha Banne?", Unhone apne bhai Banwari ka naam lia jo unhe sabse pyara tha aur chota tha. Pyaar se usko Banna-Banne he bulati thi woh.
"Jiji, mai Hansmukh bol raha hu.", Manjhle ki kaampti awaaj sunkar Kaushalya ji ka dil baith gaya. Saamne bhi shanti cha gai thi.
"Ha Billu. Tu ghabraya kyo hua hai?", Ghabra toh woh khud gai thi pal bhar me he. Chehra shunya aur mann chintit.
"Wo jiji, Billu gujar gaya jiji. Apne bhai ko akele chodd gaya ..." Aur kisi bache sa unka ye bujurg bhai hichkiyan leta rone laga. Ritu kaam se andar aai thi toh dekha ki daadi ki aankhon se tap-tap aansu gaal se ludhakte hue saree par gir rahe the. Idhar Alka sabji ka thaila liye andar aai toh saamne ka najara dekh sann reh gai. Daadi ke haath se phone ka handle niche gir gaya tha aur woh apne pallu ko mooh pe rakhti subakne lagi thi. Ritu ne jaldi se apni daadi ko baahon me bhar lia.
"Khadi kya hai? Maa ko bula ya dada ji ko. Jaldi ja naa." Alka daudti se pichle aangan me gai toh apni maa Lalita ji aur chachi ko daadi ka haal bataya woh dono bhi bhagti hui andar aai toh Kaushalya ji lagbhag achet si Ritu ke upar ludhki thi.
"Maa, daadi ko sadma laga hai. Aap inhe sambhalo mai doctor bula ke laati hu.", Ritu ne apni daadi ko bister par pakde he bola aur Rekha ji ne apni saas ko seene se chipka lia. Pal bhar me he poora ghar waha ikattha tha lekin Ritu scootry daudaati pas ke nursing home pahunch gai. Doctor ko apne sath leke he woh 10 minute me apne ghar aa chuki thi jahan ab daadi ke pas Rameshwar ji aur Col sahab the. Unhe ab hosh tha bas roye jaa rahi thi. Rameshwar ji ke kehne par unhone apni nabz aur raktchap check karwaya toh doctor ne sirf ek injection unhe dia aur araam karne ko bola.
"Pandit ji, koshish kariye ki mata ji jaldi sambhal jaaye. Bloodpressure jyada he kam ho gaya hai inka. Waise dawa toh wahi leni hai jo chal rahi hai.", Doctor apna bag liye bahar nikal gaya.
"Bhabhi, aap itni kamjor toh na thi. Bataye toh sahi ke hua kya hai? Rone se toh koi hal nahi hoga."
"Satish, mera bhai Banna khatam ho gaya re. Main us se mil na paai aakhiri baar.", Rameshwar ji ki bhi aankhon me paani aa gaya lekin jaldi se khud ko sambhalte woh bas apni dharmapatni ka sar sehlate rahe. Alka glucose ke sath daadi ki BP ki dawa lekar andar aai toh Ritu ne unhe uthate hue khud he jabardasti dawa khilate hue glucose ka ek ghoont pilaya.
"Kaushalya ye bahot bura hua, tere liye toh woh bhai kam bacha he tha. Lekin jara in bacho ko bhi dekh jo tere liye aansu baha rahe hai. Mai abhi gaadi mangwata hu, tu rona band kar abhi ke liye. Aur Ritu beta, teri daadi ke aur mere 2 jodi kapde rakh bag me fir mai nikalta hu." Rameshwar ji ko apni biwi se gehra pyaar tha. Unki aankh me aansu dekh woh bhi ro diye the lekin jaante the ke woh mard hai aur unki biwi ka gam dekhte hue unhe majboot rehna he padega.
"Bhabhi, mai gaadi nikalta hu bas aap khud ko sambhale. Bhai sahab mujhe 5 minute dijiye.", Col sahab subah wale kapdo me he the abhi tak aur unhe bhi apni sagi se badhkar in bhabhi ka dukh sehan na hua. Aane wale sabhi kaam bhool kar woh bas apne ghar chal diye, bhabhi ko unke gaanv le jaane.
.
.
"Mai bhi aapke sath he chalti hu.", Apne papa ko tayar hote dekh Renuka ne jaise unhe fainsla sunaya aur kamre me ghuste he aanan faanan me 2 safed suit bag me rakhti woh kapde badal kar bahar aa nikli. Col sahab tayaar he khade the. Idhar ghar ke bahar Ritu bag liye khadi thi aur aangan me Rameshwar ji kurta pajama pehne apni dharampatni ko haunsla de rahe the.
"Sirf mere kehne par bas kuch der aansu rok lo Kaushalya. Us bache ne tumhari aankhon me aansu dekh liye toh anarth ho jayega. Doctor ki baat yaad hai na?", Kaushalya ji kuch had tak sambhal chuki thi lekin aansu nirantar aaknhon se jhar-jhar beh rahe the. Apne pati ki baat sunkar aankhon par apni saree rakhti wo koshish karne lagi thi ki ghar se bahar jaate hue woh khud ko sehaj kar le lekin ye mumkin nahi tha. Banwari tha he aisa unke liye. Raakhi par wo suraj ugte ke sath he apni jiji ke pas aa jata tha. Jameen me teen hisse lad-jhaga kar karwaye the usne aur niyam se saal me 2 bar woh apni badi behan ki fasal ki aamdani unke khaate me jama karwa deta tha. Rameshwar ji ko bhi unka ye sala priya tha, shaadi ke baad kitne he din woh inke yaha rehkar apni badi behan ki madad karta tha aur unke bacho par toh jaan vaarta tha.
Shaadi bhi 35 ki umar me ki thi Pandit ji ke dabaw dene par nahi toh woh toh kehta tha ke sabkuch sirf uske shankar ka hai. Aulad ho gai toh bantwara karna padega. Aur bechare ki kismat bhi aisi thi ki patni ka dehant 10 saal ke baad he ho gaya tha. Peeche ek ladki chodd gai thi 8 saal ki jo ab Banwari ke jeene ka sahara thi. Fir bhi Banwari apni behan aur jija ke sath waisa he raha jaisa woh unki shaadi ke samay tha. Bada bhai Hansmukh bas naam ka he hansmukh tha. Banwari jaha ek majboot diler insaan tha, maan maryada me rehne wala. Hansmukh toh sirf joru ka gulam aur darr ke rehne wala halki tabiyat ka bhai.

Cycle chalata Arjun ghar ke samne pahuncha toh badi gaadi bahar khadi thi. Seat par Col sahab baithe dikhe toh idhar ghar se bahar dada aur daadi ke sath bag uthaye Lalita ji aur Maadhuri didi gaadi ki taraf badhte.
"Ye kya hai? Mujhe bina bataye aap sab kidhar jaa rahe ho?" Arjun cycle gaadi ke barabar lata bola toh Rameshwar ji ne jaldi se beech wali seat par apni patni ko Renuka ki bagal me bithate hue sambhalte hue jawaab dia.
"Woh beta hum jara 2 din ke liye teri daadi ke ganv jaa rahe hai kuch jaruri kaam aa gaya hai. Jaldi he aa jayenge aur tu yaha ghar ka dhyaan atche se rakhna kyonki tera bhai bhi parso he aayega." Woh Arjun ka dhyaan khud pe karwa rahe the idhar Lalita ji bhi beech wali seat par apni saas ke bagal aa baithi. Gaadi ka pichla darwaja kholti Maadhuri didi andar hui aur unke peeche Ritu bhi, jisko apni daadi ki haalat sehan nahi ho rahi thi.
"Aap kabhi jhoot nahi bolte dadaji. Lekin Ritu didi ki aankh me paani tha. Koi baat nahi mai puchunga nahi kyonki aap khud he bata denge baad me. Lekin meri daadi ka khayal rakhna.", Jaane ye kaisa andaaj tha us ladke ka aur kitni tej nigah ke woh bhaap sabkuch gaya tha lekin mauka sahi na dekh bas cycle jameen par girata apne dada ke gale lag gaya. Aur unhone bhi aaj thode kamjor sharir se Arjun ko jakad lia.
"Mere bache, sab thik hai aur teri daadi jald he aayegi wapis. Ab hum chalte hai shaam se pehle pahonchna hai.", Kaushalya ji ka gaanv yaha se 3-saadhe 3 ghante ki duri par tha aur jaisa gaanv me riwaj rehta hai antim sanskar suryast se pehle karte hai. Arjun ne Col Sahab ko haath jodd kar pranam kia toh unhone bhi shant chehre se sar hila dia. Gaadi Arjun ke sath se nikalti badh chali toh kuch der woh usko jata dekh bahar waise he khada raha. Gali se bahar nikal jab gaadi aujhal ho gai toh cycle ko uthata woh ghar ke andar chala aaya. Aaj ghar aise shaant tha ke jaise waha koi aur rehta he na ho. Na rasoighar me koi tha aur khaane ki table par. Har samay chehakne wala "Sharma Niwas" kisi khandar sa pratit ho raha tha Arjun ko. Usne pehle kabhi aisa ghar nahi dekha tha jahan maut hui ho toh ye kuch alag he tha uske liye. Jab woh subah gaya tha ghar se toh kitna hansta-khelta chodd kar gaya tha sabko lekin abhi ka sannatta dil me chubh raha tha.
"Ha gaya beta? Chal mooh hath dho le mai tera khana laga deti hu.", Rekha ji ne Arjun ko aise akele gumsum baithe dekha toh woh thoda sambhal kar baat karti uske pas aai.
"Maa, kya hua hai ghar me?", Arjun ka ye sawaal sunkar unhe sach batana he behtar laga.
"beta woh teri daadi ji ke chote bhai ka swargvas ho gaya hai aaj subah. Toh tere dadaji unhe wahin gaanv leke gaye hai. Ab behan aur bhai me toh ek majboot rishta hota he hai. Chahe maut kitni bhi badi sachhai ho lekin har insaan is se ghabrata aur sehan nahi kar pata. Unhe bhi apne bhai ki akaal mrityu ka dukh hai aur wo akeli he toh behan hai. Isliye woh log gaanv gaye hai.", Rekha ji ki baat sunkar Arjun samajh gaya ki sachhai kya hai. Pehle toh uska dil ghabra gaya tha jab usne apne dadaji ko sahara dekar daadi ko gaadi me bithate dekha tha aur Ritu didi ki aankhon me aansu.
"Haan maa. Jivan ki sachhai aisi he hai. Mrityu toh nischit hai lekin kisi apno ko kho dene ka dukh sach me bhaari he hota hoga.", Anubhav nahi tha Arjun ko abhi tak isliye woh shaant ho gaya tha ke jinki mrityu hui hai unhe woh jyada nahi jaanta tha aur daadi ko apne bhai ka gam tha. Arjun ka sar sehlati Rekha ji bhi shant thi aur unhe fakar tha ke unka beta ab bada ho raha hai, samjhdaar hone ke sath he. Tara ke neeche aane ki awaaj se dono alag hue aur Rekha ji rasoighar me chal di. Maut rishteydari me hui thi toh ghar me itna maatam nahi tha lekin agle 13 din bas koi diya nahi jalna tha mandir aur tulsi me.
Ghar-Sansar
Koi 3 baje ke aaspas Rekha ji ki neend toot gai, bahar baarish ki bundo ke shor se. Aangan me plastic ka tub rakha tha jispar girti bunde khalal paida karne lagi thi. Woh Arjun ko ek baar sehla ke sahi se uska sar bister par rakhti uthi aur bina he light jagaye aangan me aa gai.
'Barish bhi jaane is baar kaunse mausam me hone lagi hai.? Upar se itni raat me ye shor. Ritu ko bola bhi tha ke tub galiyare me rakhne ke lekin ya ladki bhi na..' Mann me ye sab bolti woh bheegti hui aangan me rakhe samaan aur charpai ko sahi jagah rakhne lagi. Abhi baarish madhyam gati se ho rahi thi lekin dheemi bhi nahi thi ki sharir ko pata he na chale.
Unka laal gown, jo andhere me rang toh nahi bata pa raha tha, wo aadha geele ho chuka tha. Lekin 5-6 minute me he unhone sab sahi kar dia aur fir kamre ke andar chali aai. Darwaja band karne ke baad ab baarish ki awaaj bhi utni nahi sunaai de rahi thi aur woh tej plastic par girti bundo ki thak-thak ab khatam ho chuki thi. Zero ka bulb jaga kar Rekha ne apna ye laal rang ka gown peeche se chain kholte hue utara toh husn beparda ho gaya. Arjun unki taraf peeth kiye so raha tha toh ek baar uska shant chehra dekh woh halka sa muskurati hui apni almari se ek safed cotton ka gown nikal kar pehan ne lagi. Purane wale se he apne halke bheege baal aur chehra saaf karne ke baad usko darwaje ke peeche he taang dia. Shrir par halke royen khade ho gaye the aise ekdum thande mahol me jaane se. Bete ke sath atchi neend aa rahi thi lekin 2 ghante me he woh uchat gai thi.
Fir se bulb ko band karne ke baad woh sambhalti si Arjun ke barabar aa leti aur savdhani se uska sar apni chaati se lagati dusre haath se uska sar sehla kar sone ki koshish karne lagi. Lekin hairat se Rekha ka dimag sunn ho gaya tha. Is sab me wo bhul gai thi ki ye safed gown ke saamne ki taraf hukk lage the chain nahi. Aur bina unhe band kiye jab woh bister par jhukti Arjun ke sath leti thi toh unka ek ubhar nipple samet bahar nikal aaya tha. Pata tab laga jab neend me he Arjun ne woh apne mooh me bhar lia aur choosna shuru kar dia tha. Bahar se aati halki roshni me dekhne ki koshish si karti Rekha ko bas itna dikha ke woh toh aankhen band kiye pehle ki tarah he neend me hai. Na he Arjun ne unko jakda tha aur na he kahi aur hath lagaya tha. Bas woh toh apne hontho par aa lage is nipple ko mooh me bhar ke neend me he peene me laga tha.
'Pee le beta yahi soch lungi ki jab tu aakhiri bar mere sath soya tha tab bhi peeta tha aur aaj bhi wahi par hai.' Apne mann ko shant karti woh sambhal gai aur aise he Arjun ke chehre ko dekhti rahi. Arjun ke halka jor se nipple ko kheenchne se unhe dard hua aur aisa laga jaise koi bareek sa kanta unke nipple se bahar nikal gaya ho. Aur ubharo me agli harkat mehsoos karte he woh ek baar fir ghabra gai. 12 saal ke baad bhi uske stann sookhe nahi the bas jis dawa ko 3-4 saal tak Rekha ne apne nipple par laga laga ke doodh ko band kia tha woh Arjun ne wapis nikal di thi.
Arjun ke mooh me woh garam-meetha doodh jaane laga toh swayam he uska dusra hath upar wale stann ko dhundne laga. Uske hath ki is harkat par mand mand muskurati Rekha ne bete ka wahi roop dekha toh dusra doodh bhi ajaad karti uske hath me thama dia. Ungliyon se dheere dheere dusre nipple ko woh kheenchta bache ki tarah he laga raha fir khud he nipple mooh se nikal kar maa ki chaati se laga shant ho gaya.
'Mera bacha.' Aise he Rekha apne bete ka sar jaane kitni der sehalti apne se lagaye ateet ko yaad karti rahi. Poore 3 saal ka hone ke baad bhi woh apni maa ko jab akela dekhta tha toh chuchi ke chipak jata tha. Lalita ji bhi kehti thi ki Rekha iski shaadi bhi ho jayegi toh bhi teri he chaati se chipka rahega ye. Fir kaise apne pati ke gussa karne par bhi woh chupke chupke usko din me 2-3 baar doodh pila he deti thi. 5 saal ka woh hua tha toh uski saas ne he kaha tha ke doctor ko dikha ke iska doodh band karwa do nahi toh woh bachda is gaayen se hamesha laga rahega. Kitni dawa li thi lekin ye doodh kabhi band he nahi hota tha. Fir khud maaji ne 36 mahine tak "Othli" aur "kujji" se banai desi dawa di thi Rekha ko jis se chuchuk ke chidra band hue the. Har samay ye dukhte rehte the aur woh saari raat apne bete ko yaad karti rehti thi. Na woh agle 9 saal aaya na inka dard kam hua. Unke pati bhi toh sirf inhe thaamte he the, kabhi mooh nahi lagate the kyonki unhe toh aise nipple pasand he na the. Waise bhi woh Rekha ke sath humbister bhi kaha kitna hote the, mahine me 2-3 baar aur kabhi 2 mahine me 3-4 baar. Ye sab sochti sochti woh neend me chali gai aur fir 5 baje apni jethani ke darwaja khatkane ki awaaj se he jaagi.
"Rekha, baarish tej ho rahi hai. Tu bathroom se farig ho ja mai chai bana ke laati hu tere kamre me." Lalita ji ne itna kaha aur idhar hamesha chetna me rehne wala Arjun duniya bhula ke bas apni maa ke doodh se honth chipkaye soya pada raha.
"Aai didi. 2 minute.", Bahot halke se unhone kaha lekin shayad Lalita ji ne sun lia tha. Arjun ke gardan tak chaadar daal kar woh uth khadi hui. Zero ke prakash me apne huliye par najar daali toh sharam aur muskaan chehre par aa gai thi. Upar ka hissa bilkul nirvastra tha aur dono parvat bahar chipakte hue nikle pade the. Baain taraf wala toh abhi bhi halka geela tha.
'Dusre wala kal pee lio. Aaj ek he sahi.' fir kapde leti woh bathroom me ghus gai. Sawa panch baje lalita ji jab kamre me aai toh dekha ke Arjun gehri neend me apni maa ke bister par soya pada tha. Gol table ke sath lagi 2 kursiyon me se ek par woh baith kar wo us ladke aur kamre ko bas dekhti rahi idhar Rekha ji bhi naha dho kar saree me ab andar aa chuki thi.
"Ye tere sath soya tha?", Lalita ji ki najar abhi bhi Arjun par he thi.
"Han. Raat tabiyat thik nahi thi didi meri, toh dawa ke sath pani lene fridge ki taraf gai toh fir Arjun ne dekh lia tha. Raat talve ki maalish karne ke baad fir mere sath he so gaya tha. 3 baje uthi thi baarish ki awaaj se fir wapis tub,balti aur charpai galiyare me rakh ke aa kar lait gai thi." Wo bhi ek nigah apne is chote se batche par dalti chai ka cup uthati apni jethani se batiyane lagi.
"Itna bada ghoda ho gaya hai aur dekh le maa ke sath soya pada hai.", Baat toh unki ye majaak me he nikli thi lekin Rekha ji ki aankh me do boonde aa gai thi.
"Arre pagal. Meri baat par tu rone kyo lagi? Main toh waise he majaak kar rahi thi." Lalita ji ne cup table par rakhte kaha
"nahi didi aapki baat kabhi buri nahi lagti. Main toh bas ye yaad kar rahi thi ki mera bacha kitna chota sa tha jab mujh se alag kar dia tha isko. Ye kabhi apni maa se alag na raha tha aur fir 10 saal baad ye mere seene se lag kar soya hai.", Lalita ji bhi ek maa thi aur woh atche se samajh sakti thi Rekha ka dard. Mahol ko thik karne ke hisab se woh chir-parichit andaaj me bol padi.
"Fir toh munna ko chuchi lagwai hogi is khushi me.? Ya kahi kuch aur toh na kar dia isne, poora ghoda ho gaya tera ye munna?", Rekha ke toh gaal he laal ho gaye the Lalita ji ki baat par. Fir sharmati si woh boli toh ab unki jethani ki aankhen chaudi ho gai thi baat sunkar.
"Wo mere fir se doodh utarna shuru ho gaya hai." Rekha ji ne toh najar jhuka li lekin Lalita ji toh bhochakki si reh gai.
"tune isko pilai ya isne pee?", bas itna he bol paai woh lekin Rekha ji ne saari baat vistaar se bataai toh Lalita ji ke chehre par chamak aa gai.
"Dekh le aaj upar se doodh nikal dia isne ek raat me. Aur jitna dhyan se isko maine dekha hai na ye tere aur kahi se bhi nikal dega." Apni baat par woh hansi toh Rekha ji ko samajh aaya ke ye kya bol gai hai. Wo jhootha sa nkhra karti tray uthati hui boli
"Aisa kuch nahi hai didi. Bacha hai woh aur aapne aisa kya dekh lia jo mujhe mere bete me na dikha?", Wo khadi ho chuki thi toh Lalita ji bhi sath he uthti hui boli.
"Bache paida karne layak ho chuka hai woh. Sharir se he nahi har taraf se ghoda ho chuka hai. Beshak tujhe meri baat buri lage Rekha, lekin ek tere jaisi bharpoor aurat ko aisa he Junglee ghoda past kar sakta hai. Jiske bas ek baar tere thann mooh me bharne se doodh bahar aa gaya ho. Aur tu khud he soch ke tum dono me kitna pyaar hai ke sharir ko bhi ehsaas hai ke iska maalik kon hai. Komal ki baari me tera doodh bhi sahi se na utra tha toh mai pila deti thi aur Ritu ne toh peeya he 6 mahine aur fir band. Lekin iske andar sirf tera khoon aur doodh abhi tak hilore le raha." Rekha ko wahi sochti chodd kar Lalita ji bahar chali aai. Beshak woh pehle majaak kar rahi thi lekin unka har shabd teer sa laga tha Rekha ke dil par. Aur jara bhi jhooth nahi thi unki baat. Arjun jab bachpan me doodh peeta tha toh kai baar unka skhallan sirf uske doodh peene aur nipple kheenchne bhar se ho jata tha.
Sharmati sakuchati si woh rasoighar me aa gai jahan unki jethani doodh dalwane ke liye bada patila dho rahi thi.
"Lalita, barta de jara bahar Sadhu khada hai barish me.", Kaushalya ji andar aati boli toh Rekha aur Lalita dono ne pehle unka aashirwad lia fir Kaushalya ji bartan lekar bahar chal di. Aangan me he Sadhu Singh khada Pandit ji se batla raha tha.
"Namaskar maaji." Kaushalya ji ko dekhte he usne dono hath jodte hue najre neechi kar li thi.
"Saadhu, tu barsaat me bhi niyam ka pakka hai. Grahan wale din choddkar toh aaj tak deri nahi ki tune kabhi." Patila saamne rakhti Kaushalya ji khadi hoti uski prashansha kare lagi aur woh bade kanastar se is 5 kilo ke bartan ko bharne laga jispar ek badi chalni pehle he rakhi thi.
"Pandit ji se seekha hai mata ji samay ki kadar karna. Nahi toh baap-dada ke raj me the toh khet jaane ki sudh bhi nahi rehti thi." Waise he araam se wo doodh dalta bola toh daadhi banate Pandit ji muskura uthe.
"Arre samajhdar tha tabhi toh maan gaya tha ek thappad me. Nahi toh log toh katal karke bhi nahi sudharte.", Pandit ji ki is baat par ye janaab hans bhar diye.
"Aapke paute ko dekha tha Pandit ji 3-4 baar. Andhere me he daud lagata woh ganv se bhi aage nikal jata hai. Lekin 2 din se dikhai nahi dia toh socha aaj poochta chalu.", Saadhu Singh ki baat par Kaushalya devi ki bohen tann gai.
"Tere ganv se bhi aage jata hai? Aur pakka pata hai ke woh Arjun he hai?", Ek baar aur pakka karne ke uddeshya se unhone ye kaha toh Pandit ji toh bas baithe muskurate rahe lekin Saadhu Singh thoda jhemp sa gaya.
"Ji maaji. Wo Shankar bhai se bhi uncha aur chauda hai na toh pehchan toh gaye the baaki thode din pehle jab mera beta usko barish me ghar choddne aaya tha idhar toh 2 ghadi baatein bhi hui thi. Sach kahu maaji ladka kya hai heera hai.", Kanastar ko band kia toh darwaje ke peeche se Lalita ji ne apni saas ko pukara. 3 cup chait unhe pakdati wo doodh ka bartan darwaje ke peeche se he andar le gai.
"Le chai pee pehle. Aur ha wahi hai tere Pandit ji ka ladla lekin aaj abhi tak dikha nahi. Stadium se bhi usko mana kia hai uske coach ne jyada daud lagane se toh shayad neend poori kar raha hoga kisi kamre me.", Aate ke biscuit ki plate Saadhu Singh ki taraf badhati woh boli. Rameshwar ji toh chataai bicha kar he daadhi banate the aur Saadhu Singh bhi wahi baith gaya tha ek moodhe par. Kaushalya ji plastic ki kursi par asli thaanedar si viraji hui thi. Itni he der me apni daadi ko peeche se gale lagata Arjun bhi bahar aa gaya. Saamne tha Saadhu Singh.
"Namastey uncle." Itna bolkar woh paanv choone ke baad apne dada ki bagal se chipak ke baith gaya.
"Ram-Ram beta. Tumhare dadaji se abhi tumhari he baat ho rahi thi.", Unki baat ko sunkar Arjun teeno ke chehre dekhne laga lekin mooh khola Kaushalya ji ne.
"Tu ganv se aage tak kabse daud lagane laga? Aur fir itni dur jata hai tu bhaagte hue?", Sawaal thoda sakht tha aur chintit thi uski daadi.
"Arre daadi kaisi baat karti ho. 4 kos kaun daudega ek taraf. Matla 8 kos. Woh toh mai cycle leke ganv taka jata hu. Pehle jungle me apni daud aur kasrat poori karne ke baad tehalta hua nehar ke pas man behla leta hu. Lekin ek din koshish ki thi apna dum dekhne ki. 35-40 minute lag gaye the Gaanv paar karke agle jungle tak jane me apne ghar se. Woh toh aate hue uncle ke bete Mahender bhai ne ghar chodd dia, nahi toh library ke samay he ghar wapis aane wala tha." Arjun ne chaturai se baat bata di thi. Jitna sach jaruri tha utna aur Kaushalya ji toh gadgad ho gai thi bache ki itni mehnat dekh kar.
"Arre mai jaanti hu mera laal bahot majboot hai lekin tere uncle se he pooch le ke us taraf junglee suar, gauh, siaar aur saanp bhi bahot hote hai. Bas yahi darr hai nahi toh tujhe koi rok-tok thodi na hai." Saadhu Singh ne bhi haan me haan milai.
"Maaji baat 16 aane sahi hai. Gaanv toh chalo surakshit jagah hai lekin abhi khet me 8 foot ka saamp nikla tha mere.", Saadhu Singh ki baat par Arjun apne dada sath laga muskurane laga.
"Ab inhe ye nahi batayega ke tu hans kyo raha hai.?" Pandit ji ko toh apne bache ka thoda bhed tha lekin Saadhu Singh ko toh bilkul na tha aur uski daadi toh waise he bacho ke liye savdhan rehti thi.
"Uncle aapke ghar me koi mehmaan aaye toh aap kya karte hai? Usko bitha ke uska swagat karte hai aur khatirdari. Aise he koi dushman aa jaye toh fir aap usko karara jawaab denge. Lekin maine hostel aur khud ki is prakriti ko dekhne ki ruchi se seekha hai ke janwar bilkul aise nahi hote. Aap unke daayre me jao toh pehle aapko pata hona chahiye ke uska swabhav kaisa hai. Saanp sirf tabhi hamla karega jab woh dara hua ho ya fir woh nagraj ho kyonki woh toh raja hai. Aise he sabhi vyavahar karte hai. Mai saamne se aate haathi ko dekh kar raste se hatt jaunga toh woh seedha chal dega. Lekin danda dikhaunga toh fir kahi nahi dikhunga." Hanste hue usne ye baat kahi toh ab Pandit ji ne apne pote ki peeth par haath ferti hue shabashi di.
"Waise bhi is aas pas ki vanya-shakti me meri takkar ka toh janwar mushkil hai uncle. Insaan hu na." Ye badi gehri baat kahi thi jisko Kaushalya ji bhi samajh gai thi.
"Hahaha. Sahi baat kahi beta. Tumhari aunty bhi keh rahi thi ki Shankar ji ke bete ko toh kala tika laga ke ghar me rakhna chahiye. Kab kon nazar laga de. Maine unhe bata dia tha ke ye ghoda Pandit ji ka hai toh raste se nahi bhatkega aur kisi ki najar isko lagne nahi wali. Atcha maaji, ek aakhiri ghar me doodh dena hai apne Col sahab ke. Ab ijajat dijiye. Aur beta kabhi aao toh fir tumhe khet-khalihan bhi dikhate hai." Waha se uth kar wo barish me he apni barsati fir se sharir par daal nikal liye bada kanastar uthate.
Arjun ko col sahab ke naam se yaad aaya raat ko Renuka se kia vada lekin fir baarish ki taraf dekhta bas woh wahi baitha doodh sudakne laga jo daadi ne saamne rakh dia tha, 2 laddu ke sath.
"Munna, doodh peene ke baad chaata leke jaiyo jara Satish bhai sahab ke ghar. Boliyo ke maine bulaya hai unke bhai ne nahi.", Kaushalya ji ne pyaar se ye baat kahi toh Rameshwar ji ne ek baar apni biwi ko dekha fir toliye se chehra saaf karte us dandi wale sheeshe me dekhne lage, kahi koi baal na reh gaya ho. Roj ka niyam tha unka ye jabs police me bharti hue the.
"Daadi telephone mila do na." Arjun ne itna bola toh Rameshwar ji ne halke se uska kaan umeth dai.
"Jab baat jaruri ho aur insaan bhi toh 100 kilometer jaa kar bhi baat karni chahiye. Aur ye toh 10 kadam par hai. Izzatt aur pyaar ye choti choti baatein sikhati hai. Phone hai emergency wali suvidha. Samajh gaya maharaj Patiala?" Arjun ki halat dekh kaushalya ji ne apne pati ko jhooti fatkaar laga di.
"bacha hai abhi. Chodo kaan uska aur chalo andar kameej pehan lo aap. Ye baniyaan he mili hai virasat me is ghar ko.", Arjun aur dadaji dono he hans diye daadi ke andar jaate he. Lekin fir usne ek sabak seekh lia tha. "Mehatvapurn Insaan ke saamne jaa kar baat karni chahiye. Ehsaas hota hai ke woh kitna jaruri hai."
.
.
"Andar aa jao bhaiya. Uncle ne kaha hai.", Parvati ne bahar gate par chatri liye Arjun se kaha toh woh baramde me chatri ko khula he jameen par tikata fir andar aa gaya. Col sahab chai peene lag rahe the wahi drawing room me baithkar aur koi waha dikh nahi raha tha.
"Good morning chote daadu." Unse aashirwad le woh bhi samne baith gaya.
"Hanji nawaab sahab, aisi baarish me aaj aap hamare gareebkhane me?", Arjun se majaak karte unhone kaha toh woh bhi muskurata unka jawab dene laga.
"Wo kya hai ke mujhe laga itni baarish me toh aap kahi jaane se rahe toh aaj kyo na aapke he sath pakode khaye jaye.", Kaam ki baat choddkar woh bhi table par ulti rakhi plate ko ghumata bola toh Col sahab ne Parvati ko awaaj di.
"Sun rahi ho Parvati beta. Aaj chote Pandit ji pakode khaane aaye hai subah 6 baje. Hahaha.", Parvati bahar ko jhankti bas thoda sa muskura di.
"Arre nahi Parvati didi aap kaam karo mai toh baat karne aaya tha. Haan toh daadu, woh aapki bhabhi ji ne kaha hai ke aapko bata du unhone aapko jaruri yaad kia hai. Aur ye bhi bola hai ke bata dena ki khas unhone he bulaya hai.", Arjun ki baat par unhone cup neeche rakh dia.
"Tumhari chatri bahar he rakhi hai na? Yahi baitho mai ja raha hu tumhare ghar aur Preeti uth jaaye toh bata dena ke mai kaha par hu. Parvati, tum beta iske liye aalu gobhi ke pakode bana do. Mai nashta wahin karunga.", Pajame kurte me he woh bahar nikal gaye. Col sahab ko pata tha ke unki ye bhabhi jab bhi bulati hai toh baat jaruri he hoti hai. Sadharan hawai chappal me he chal diye apni badi bhabhi ji ki baat sun-ne. Idhar jab Arjun ne dekha ke woh akela hai aur Parvati toh rasoighar se nikalne wali nahi agle 20-30 minute toh pehle woh Renuka ji ke kamre me gaya jahan unke sath he Ritu aur Alka soi hui thi. Shayad der tak jaagi hongi wo sab. Wapis woh darwaja dhaalta chal dia apni shehjadi ke kamre me jo sirf waise he band tha.
Kamre me Preeti wahi kapdo me thi lekin saleti rang wali kasi hui baniyan aur waisi he choti nikkar me jiske kinare kaale rang ke the. Soye hue woh sach me kisi pari si lag rahi thi. Darwaja band karte hue woh Preeti ko kareeb se dekhta raha fir uski kamar par hath rakhta laitne ka upkram sa karta uske chehre par jhuk gaya.
"Sansar me is se badhkar khoobsurat koi ho nahi sakta." mann me itna bolta woh haule se kamar se hath upar kar uske gaal par jhuk gaya. Dil kisi generator ki tarah dhad-dhad kar raha tha lekin khud ko himmat deta woh bilkul chehre tak pahucha toh idhar Preeti ka chehra kuch seedha ho gaya kamar par ek sparsh mehsoos karte he. Dono ke honth chumbak se chipak gaye. Jahan Arjun ki aankhen is jadui ehsaas se band ho gai wahi Preeti ki neeli-hari aankhe kisi chamakte heere se khul gai. Arjun ne toh sirf dono ke honth he milaye the lekin neeche leti Preeti ne atche se uske honth mooh me bhar kar peene he shuru kar diye. Arjun ko kisi rooi ke halke dher ki tarah apni baahon me kasti Preeti ne apne upar lita lia tha. Pal bhar me he uske hath Arjun ki tshirt ke andar se uski peeth par reng rahe the aur woh jaise kisi kamjor bakre sa apni kasaai premika ki giraft me jakda tha.
Jabardasti toh woh bhi khud ko alag nahi karna chahta tha isliye shararat karna he usne sahi samjha. Haalat toh patli ho gai thi jo khud wo chaaku par gira tha. Himmat kar ke Arjun ne apne dono hath us choti si lacheeli baniyan me daale toh Preeti ne Arjun ki jubaan he apne mooh me bhar kar chusni shuru kar di aur dono tango me uske jakadte hue bas mumkin hota toh andar ghus jaati. Arjun ka dimag chalna band ho chuka tha lekin haath sarakte hue jaise he un sakht golo par pade toh wahi jamm gaye. Peeth par rengne wale haatho me ab Arjun ke kulhe jakad chuke the. Lekin Arjun waise he madhosh sa apni zindagi ke sabse sakht stanno ko hatho me bhar ke leta hua tha. Nipple aise mehsoos ho rahe the jaise koi 1/4" ka pech ho. Sakht, teekha aur saaf haatho me chubta hua.
"ohooo-ohooo.", Alka jo jaane kab se andar khadi ye dekh rahi thi lekin atchi baat thi ki usne bhi darwaja band kar rakha tha, ne unka dhyaan hatane ki koishi ki lekin dono beasar the. Arjun toh waise bhi kuch kar pane ki haalat me na tha lekin Preeti apne pyaar ko aaj shaeed karne par tuli hui thi.
"Oh hello.. Uth chodd de isko nahi toh fir ye tera aakhiri kiss he hoga.", Alka ne Preeti ka shikanja hilaya toh woh hosh me aai aur fir furti se bathroom me ja ghusi.
"Isne toh tera rape he kar dia." Tshirt se saaf dikh raha tha ke peeth par kharonche lagi thi aur honth thode fool gaye the. Arjun bister par seedha leta hua tej saanse le raha tha. Alka bhi bister par baith kar usko muskurati dekh rahi thi. 5 minute baad he Preeti bahar aai jo ab tshirt aur ek halke rang ke pajama pehne thi. Baal rubber se bandhe the aur chehra dhone ke baad jyada chamak raha tha.
"Aap Parvati ko bolo ke chai-coffee tayaar kar de mai aai.", Preeti ne gale lagte hue dheere se ye kaha toh Alka didi bahar nikal gai, hansti hui.
"Haan toh fir itni himmat kaise ho gai mujhe choone ki?", Arjun ke upar jhukti Preeti hansti hui boli toh Arjun ne hath jodd diye.
"Aaa.. umm. Tum haath mat jodo lekin yaad rakhna ke agli baar agar pas aaye toh mai jagah, log aur result ni dekhne wali. Fir rote rehna.", Gaal choom kar woh ek bar pyar se lipat gai toh Arjun ne bhi apni baah Preeti ki peeth se pyaar se rakh li.
"Chalo ab utho aur aise kisi ladki ke kamre me aainda mat aana." Arjun jaise he uthne laga toh is baar usne majbooti se Preeti ka chehra pakad lia. Baaji ulat gai thi aur yaha Preeti ki aankhen band ho gai thi, muskurahat bhi gayab thi waha se.
"Main isliye chahta hu ki tumhi woh ladki raho meri zindagi me jo mujhe isharo par chalaye. Mere hath lagane se tumhe dard ho sakta hai Preeti.", Aur fir gaal choom ke woh darwaja khol kar bahar aa gaya, jahan Ritu didi Renuka bua ke sath baithi coffee pee rahi thi aur Alka shayad rasoighar me kuch lene gai thi.
"Goodmorning." Arjun ne ek kursi kheenchte hue dono ki taraf dekhte hue kaha toh Renuka ji ke chehre par jaise koi bhav nahi tha lekin Ritu muskura rahi thi. Dono ne he goodmorning ka jawab dia toh Parvati ne coffee ke sath Pakode ki plate Arjun ke samne kar di. Alka bhi rasoighar se aati ek plate me pakode aur chutni leti unke samne baith kar muskurane lagi.
"Tujhe kya ho gaya jo aise muskura rahi hai?", Ritu didi ne jab ye baat Alka didi se kahi toh Arjun thoda jhemp gaya aur sar jhuka kar pakode khaane laga.
"Kuch nahi yar bas dekh rahi hu ke apna Arjun kaise is ghar me hukum de kar subah subah pakode banwane laga hai.", Is baat par toh Ritu didi bhi hans di. Fir woh bathroom jaane ka bol kar uth gai toh Alka bhi Preeti ke kamre ki taraf chali gai. Ek atirikt cup coffee ka Preeti ke liye lekar.
"Subah ka koi vada tha?", Renuka ji ne badi halki awaaj me bina dekhe ye baat kahi.
"Sorry. Wo raat ko maa ki tabiyat thik nahi thi toh neend deri se aai. Subah bahar baarish itni tej thi ki fir jaane se bimar he hona padta. Aap shaam ko tayar rehna mai 6 baje lene aaunga. Fir film dekhne chalenge." Utne dheeme he Arjun ne jawab dia.
"Koi baat nahi. Ab kaisi hai aapki maa?", Unki baat par Arjun ko kuch yaad sa aane laga lekin fir laga ke shayad woh sapna he tha.
"Kaha kho gaye? Waise picture ka kya program banaya hai?", Is baar Arjun ne dhyan dia tha ke Renuka us se kuch pooch rahi hai.
"Han.. Wo mai keh raha tha ke film kisko dekhni hai. 6 baje chalenge aur 8 baje wapis." Ek muskurahat se usne ye baat kahi toh Renuka ne mana kar dia.
"Nahi. Hum aise he kahi shant jagah ghoom sakte hai aur kisi dur park me ja sakte hai. Cinema nahi.", Arjun ko apni galti ka ehsaas ho gaya tha. Renuka ek sabhya aur pyaar karne wali mahila thi. Kaise usne ye soch lia ke woh cinema le jayega.
"Sorry. Wo galti se aur jaldbaji se maine bol dia. Aap jaisi shaam chahengi mai waisi he aapke sath bitaunga.", Aur fir kuch der dono he aisi baatein karte rahe toh Arjun wahan se uthkar apne ghar ki taraf chal dia. Baarish halki ho gai thi lekin baadal abhi bhi bane hue the aasman me. Subah sava saat ka samay bhi jaise saadhe panch bata raha tha. Gali sunsan he thi lekin jaise uska mann thoda ashant tha.
"Arjun, ja apne kamre ki safaai karwa le Maadhuri se. Aur Tara ko bhi neeche bhej dena uske maile kapdo ke sath.", Ghar me aaya nahi ke ek aur hukum mil gaya tha. Ye taaiji ki awaaj thi jo sabji kaat rahi thi. Wahi Komal didi dining table aur waha ka farsh saaf karne me lagi thi. Unke chehre par wo bholi muskan har samay rehti thi jab jab Arjun pas hota tha.
"Jaata hu Taaiji. Aur didi aap kaisi hai?", Lalita ji ko haan kehne ke baad Arjun apni pyaari didi se bola toh woh bholi si muskaan aur lambi ho gai thi. Unki badi badi aankhen jaise unki jubaan se jyada baatein karti thi lekin har koi toh ye bhasha samajhne se raha.
"Mai bilkul thik hu. Kaam se farig hone ke baad tum.. farig hone ke baad hum baat karenge.", baat ko sudharti woh sharma gai thi aur Arjun ne bhi unhe satana thik na samjha. Yaha se dadaji wala kamra band tha aur jab woh andar aaya tha tab baithak aur uske sath wale kamre ka darwaja bhi band tha. Fir wo daudta hua upar chal dia jaha Tara bister par pasri hui thi. Jaag chuki thi lekin fir bhi aalas se padi thi. Arjun seedha uske bagal me chalang lagata kamar ko pakad ke leit gaya.
"Tummmm.." Tara ekdum se chaunk gai fir Arjun ki ye harkat dekh thoda sa muskurati hui takiye me sar daal kar mooh chupane lagi. Arjun ne us bareek baniyan se top me kaakh ki taraf se hath daalte hue ek naram ubhar muthi me bhar lia.
"Kyon main nahi aa sakta kya?", Aur haule se uska nipple masal dia.
"Issss.. aah. aa sakte ho.. lekin aah itni subah aur seedha ye sab.", Tara ki tej siski sunte he Arjun ne hath kheench lia. Idhar Sanjeev bhaiya ke kamre se halki awaaj hui toh woh seedha ho gaya.
"Wo taai ji tumhe neeche bula rahi hai. Apne saare maile kapde sath me neeche leti jaana. Teeno kamro ki safaai hone lagi hai yahan upar aur aaj tumhari chutti bhi hai toh karo thodi sewa.", Arjun ki baat par Tara sharmati si khadi hui toh uske gol kulhe uski najro ke saamne aa gaye. Arjun ne ek baar bhaiya ke kamre ki taraf dekha aur apne haath se Tara ka woh golakar naram nitambh daba dia.
"Sudhar jao. Agar itna he dil hai toh fir atche se mere sath time spend kyo nahi karte? Kam se kam 2-3 din me ek ghanta toh nikal sakte ho?", Tara ne dil se ye baat kahi thi jaise woh Arjun ke liye taras gai ho. "Chahe sirf baatein he kar lena lekin mere sath akele. Please"
"Pakka promise. Monday mai he tumhe chodde jaunga fir sham ko laate samay bahar chalenge aur agar mumkin nahi hua toh fir saari raath tumhare sath." Dono he itni dhire awaj kar rahe the ki ek dusre tak he ja rahi thi. Fir Tara bathroom me ghus gai kapde badalne aur saamne wale kamre me Arjun ko salwar kameej me jhaadu lagati Maadhuri didi ka pichwada najar aaya. Sthiti ko samajhte hue usne khade hote hue awaaj di.
"Didi, wo taiji bol rahi thi ki mera kamra bhi thik kar dena safaai karne ke sath he. Aur maile kapde bhi dekh lena.", Maadhuri didi ne uski unchi awaaj suni toh thoda hairani se dekha lekin fir bathroom se bister ki taraf jaati Tara ko dekh woh haule se muskura di. 5 minute me he Tara ne koi 5-6 jodi kapde ekatthe kar liye the.
"Didi, mai neeche ja rahi hu. Please safaai ke baad saare doors ek baar khol dena. Pollen-allergy hai mujhe toh mai dusting se dur rehti hu." Tara ki is baat se Arjun ko samajh aaya ke woh rasoighar ke kaam aur bartan dhone jaise kaam he kyo karti hai aur scooter par bhi jyadatar apne chehre par rumaal rakh leti thi. Ek baar Arjun ko muskura ke dekh woh neeche chali gai. Aur sab taraf dekhne ke baad Arjun waise he bister par aa leta.
"Yaha kyon leta hai?", Maadhuri didi idhar aai toh Arjun ko aise araam karte dekh thoda hairan ho gai.
"Kyon? Kuch kaam tha didi?", Arjun ne gambhir chehra banate hue kaha toh Maadhuri didi ne chehra ghuma lia. Arjun hanste hue khada hua aur peeche se unko jakad ke bola.
"Bathroom ya Mera kamra.?", Aur unke kharbuje masalte hue salwar ke upar se he apna wo sakht lund unke kulho ki darar me daba dia.
"Pehle ye aur tumhare kamre ka darwaja laga do.", Maadhuri didi apne kulhe hilati Arjun ke kamre me chal di idhar Arjun ne woh darwaja band kia toh uske kamre ka darwaja didi khud band karne lagi thi. Haath chitakni ko band karte upar uthe idhar Arjun ne fir se unhe peeche se jakad lia.
"Aaj sirf mai karunga aur aap maje logi.", Itna bolkar Arjun ne Maadhuri didi ko diwar se lagaye he unki salwar dheeli karte hue unke pairon me gira di. Motte kulhe uske saamne the jahan koi nishan ya daag na tha. Bhaari aur unnat nitambh, jinke sath apna nanga motta lund lagate hue Arjun ne kameej ke andar se he unke motte doodh pakad liye. Yaha unke kulho ki darar me woh bada danda ghusne ki koshish kar raha tha wahi Arjun ne unka chehra peeche karte hue honth mooh me bharte hue ek hath se unke ek kade nipple ko chutki me bharte hue sharir ko ko uttejit karna shuru kar dia.
"Main toh khud chahti hu ki ab har roj mujhe pyaar kare lekin jaanti hu ye jyada ho jayega. Jitna kar sakta hai utna pyaar apni is didi ko dede bhai. Aur meri shaadi se pehle hafte tu har bhaar mere andar he karega.", Maadhuri didi sisakti hui boli. Unka sharir he itna bhara hua tha ke woh jahir karta tha unke sharir me bhare kaam ko. Kuch pal baad he dono bister par the jaha Maadhuri didi apne chote bhai ka lund sehlati leti hui thi aur unke upar jhuka Arjun unke bhoore aur unmaad se bhare chuchak peene me laga tha. Jab choot me uchit geelapan aur lund bilkul fool kar kada ho gaya toh Arjun ne unki jaanghe failate hue mota supada us fooli hui chikni choot ke chedd par tikate hue karara dhakka jad dia. Aadha lund fachch se choot me utar gaya toh bina ruke he usne ek aur dhakka lagate hue apne verrya se bhaari ho chuke andkosh unki gaand se chipka diye.
"aah. .. bhai ye toh aur jyada bada mehsoos ho raha hai. Choot andar se dard karne lagi hai." Karahti hui Maadhuri apne chote bhai ka andaaj dekh masti se doguni ho gai thi. Aur idhar Arjun ne toh soch he lia tha ke wo Maadhuri didi ko aaj sirf teji aur jor se chodne wala hai. Har dhakke par woh sisakne lagti thi. Motte doodh thirak rahe the aur kulho ko Arjun atche se daboche jad tak apna khoonta unki choot ki gehrai me utaar raha tha. 10 minute me he woh kisi baadh ki taraf paani chodti jhadne lagi toh Arjun ne unko palat dia. Kamar me hath daal upar uthate hue bina koi parwah kiye jab fir se unki ab thodi ubhri choot ke chedd par lund tikati hue poora ghusaya toh ek cheekh nikal gai unke mooh se jisko Arjun ne unka mooh dabate hue band kar dia tha.
"Didi, agli baar jab bhi aap mere sath soyengi mai aapki isme jarur karunga.", Neeche jhoolte 3-3 kilo ke kharubuje daboche woh gaand par jhatke maarta Maadhuri didi ki choot ko faadne me he laga tha. Har dhakke ke sath woh aage sarakne lagi thi. Aur ye poora kamra bas unki dard aur masti ki aahon se bhar chuka tha.
"ummmm.. aaaaahhhhhh.. Jaha marji kar re.. tu he iska pehla.. aah.. maalik hai... ummm. Aaj tera ye josh dekh ke maja... aa gaya aah maa .. ", Choot toh jaisi ab haar maan chuki thi lekin aadhe ghante me unka poora sharir jhinhod kar rakh dia Arjun ne. Maadhuri didi ko bhi aaj pata chala tha ke kitna majboot sharir hai uske is chote bhai ka.
Lund ko bahar nikal kar Arjun ne unhe baahon me uthate hue honth choomne shuru kar diye. Ishare se unke panv apni kamar par lipatwate hue ab woh fir se lund choot me ghused kar hawa me liye chudaai me lag gaya.
"Aah didi.. Dekho jara.. kaise aap le rahi ho.." Sheeshe me Maadhur ka woh youvan se lada jism Arjun kisi halkifulki gudiay sa uthaye lagbhag raund he raha tha aur Maadhuri didi ek baar dono ko is awastha me dekhti fir uske kandhe ko pakad wapis choomne lag gai. Lund choot ko failane laga toh dono he samajh gaye ke antim samay najdik hai. Maadhuri didi ko aise he goad me liye woh bathroom me ghus gaya.
"Aah didi. Sach batana aise aapko maja aaya?", Waha diwar se lagaye woh unko jhuk kar peeche se pelta bola toh Maadhuri didi ke shabd maje me aadhe adhure he nikal rahe the. Choot bahar tak laal ho chuki thi aur ek dhaage ki tarah lisalisa paani bahar latak raha tha.
"aaahh.. majaaaaaaa.. maiii.. toh.. aahhhh maa.. maje se marne .. eeeeee.. marne.. gaiii re.. ", shower ka handle thaam woh diwar se chipki toh Arjun fatne ki haalat me pahunch chuke apne lund ko us paune inch gehri gaand ki darar me ragadne laga.. "Aah didi..mai bhi gaya." Pasine me bheega uska badan chamak raha tha. Har manspeshi aise fool gai thi jaise gym me 2 ghante se mehnat kar raha ho. 6-7 tej pichkari apne gaadhe paani ki didi ki peeth aur kulho par barsane ke baad woh wahi farsh par baith gaya.
Maadhuri bhi taange pasarti diwar se lag kar gehri saanse lene lagi. dono ek dusre ke samne baithe bas muskura rahe the.
"Atchi safaai karne laga hai tu. Aur ye toh maine nahi sikhaya tha." Woh waise he shanti se boli toh Arjun ne bina jawab diye phuhara khol dia aur 5 minute baad dono uske kamre me kapde pehan rahe the.
"Didi, ek poori raati maine aapke ye peene hai. Aaj sirf maine aapko maja dena tha kyonki samay kam tha. Lekin mai chahta hu ke ek poori raat mai aapko sone na du." Arjun ne didi ki kameej gardan se neeche aane se pehle unke bhaari aur mulayam doodh ko kas ke dabate hue apni itcha jahir ki toh Maadhuri didi ne ek meetha chumban uske hontho par karte hue bahar dhakel dia.
"Dekhenge abhi tu neeche jaa. Nashta lag gaya hoga mai 10 minute me aati hu.", Unki taange thodi fail gai thi is bheeshan chudai se. Arjun bhi hansta hua neeche chal dia.
'Pakka ghoda ho gaya hai aur haye raam kaise kutaai ki hai aaj. Itna motta ho gaya ek hafte me he hai.' bister par Arjun ki chadar thik karti woh abhi tak maje me thi
.
.
Nashte se farig hone par Arjun ne dekha ki andar se Col sahab aur Dadaji aa rahe hai. Chehre sapaat the toh kehna mushkil tha ke kya baat hui hongi andar lekin fir mahol ko dekhte he dono chehra shant karte hue khana khane baith gaye. Thodi der baad he daadiji bhi aa gayi aur woh khud he pyaar se dono ka bhojan parosne lagi thi. Aaj 9 baj gaye the is samay tak aur aangan me ab barish ki boonde girni band ho chuki thi.
"Arjun bahar chal jara mere sath.", Komal didi chehakti hui aai aur uski baju kheenchti si bina kisi ki parwah kiye baahar le chali. Rameshwar ji hans diye the kyonki unko pata tha ke kya hua hoga.
"Sunti ho. Ek aarti ka thaal leke bahar jao jara." Kaushalya ji bhi bina deri kiye plate lekar mandir me chal di.
"Waah. Ye toh jo maine dekhi thi us se bhi kahi shandar hai.", 2 log unke aangan me khade the. Unki halki neeli kameej bata rahi thi ki thoda bahut toh geele hue hai woh. Unme se ek motorcycle ko kapde se chamkane me laga tha.
"Sir ye Rameshwar ji ke naam se li gai hai hamari ab tak ki behtareen 350 Royal Enfield Machismo. Aap yaha sign kar dijiye aur baaki documents Mr Sanjeev Sharma ke pas pehle he diye ja chuke hai. Delivery deri se karne ke liye maafi chahte hai kyonki pehle he iski 60 din ki advance booking chal rahi hai." Wo vyakti kisi rattu totte ki tarah bataye ja raha tha lekin Arjun toh motorcycle ke charo aur ghoomta bas is chamakdar aur badi si machine ko dekhne me laga tha.
"Baad me baithna.", Kaushalya ji thaali lekar pas aai toh Arjun ne woh unke hath se lete hue Komal didi ko pakda di. Jo apni daadi ki taraf dekh rahi thi uljhan se.
"Arre jab isne tujhe karne ko kaha hai toh tu tilak kar. Maine bahot kar liye hai pehle he.", Kaushalya ji ne khushi se kaha toh didi motorcycle ke light aur chakke ke upar wale steel ke frame par tilak lagane ke baath handle par mauli baandthi bhai ki salamati ki dua maangne lagi. Arjun bhaag kar apne kamre me gaya aur batua utha ke le aaya.
"Ye pyaari daadi aur didi ke liye shagun. Aur thank you daadi iske liye.", Dono ke hath me 1100 rupaye rakhte hue woh daadi se gale mila aur fir apni behan ko goad me utha kar agli seat par bitha dia.
"Kya kar raha hai Arjun?", Daadi ke samne bhai ki is harkat par Komal didi thoda darr gai thi.
"Pyaar karta hai tujhse jaise tu karti hai. Aur agar isne soch lia hai ke tu sabse pehle baithegi toh fir harj kaisa. Chal ab meri bachi ko bitha ke chala ke dikha jara.", Kaushalya ji toh apne bacho ka itna pyaar dekh fooli nhi sama rahi thi aur Arjun ne motorcycle pehle bhi bahot baar chalai thi jab Sanjeev bhaiya apne office ke kisi bhi dost ki lekar aate the.
"Sahi kaha daadi. Didi ko he sabse pehle mai chakkar lagwa ke leke aaunga. Bas 5 minute me aaya wapis.", Komal ko waise he neeche utaar kar woh aage baitha aur tanki par lage sticker par gear ka nishan dekh daba ke kick laga di.
"dug-dug.. dug-dug." woh bhari bharkam awaaj poore ghar ke andar tak sunai padi aur panja neeche dabate he Arjun ne halki race dete hue aangan me usko gate ki taraf modd lia.
"Ab jaldi se baitho bhi.", Komal idhar udhar dekhne lagi thi. Nange paanv aur ghar ke salvar kameej me.
"Daadi aap he bolo na. Mai konsa motorcycle ko rok kar inhe paidal chalaunga.", Kaushalya ji hansti hui hath hilati komal ko boli toh woh sharmati si peeche baith gai. Dheere dheere aage badhata woh sambhalte hue is bhari-bharkam bullet ko bahar liye chal dia.
"Didi ye mera sapna tha. Ek din aapko ispar bitha ke kahi dur leke jaunga. Sirf hum-dono aur sirf dur tak jaati khaali sadak.", Koi 3-4 gali ke baad he Arjun aur us dupahiya gaadi me jaise ek bandhan sa judd gaya tha. Woh bhi ab uske hisab se araam se chalne lagi thi. Nahi toh Bullet ke baare me toh prasidh tha ke atche atche dhurandhar bhi isko sambhal nahi sakte the. Komal apne chote bhai ki peeth se lagi isko ek sapne sa dekh rahi thi. Poore 10 minute baad dono wapis aaye the aur ab uski sabhi behne bade dhyaan se is ajoobe ko dekh rahi thi. Laal aur steel rang ki ye 200 kilo vajni machine apne aap me he bemisal thi. Aise he usne sabko thoda bahot ghuamaya aur idhar daadi ji ne bhi showroom se aaye dono vyaktiyon ko 101 rupaye ke sath chai-nashta karwa ke vida kia.
"Bhai ab toh tum bhi gaadi wale ho gaye.", Col Sahab ne muskurate hue tareef bhi ki Arjun ki pasand ki aur fir unhone khud chappal pehne he chala ki bhi dikhai. Arjun ke sath abhi ghulmil ke woh thoda behtar mehsoos kar rahe the.
"Daadu, ye kiski hai.?", Preeti ghar me aai toh Col sahab he seat par baithe the aur waha sirf Kaushalya ji, Panditji aur Arjun he khade the.
"Ye beta dahej ki pehli kist di hai tere dada ne.", Kaushalya ji ke is jawaab par dono bade tahaka maarte hansne lage toh Arjun jhemp gaya aur Preeti ne najre jhuka li.
"Beta ye tere bade dada ne is nalayak ko di hai. Keh rahe the ke meri bachi ab scootry ya scooter par thodi jayegi stadium.", Col sahab ne puchkarte hue kaha toh Preeti ne Arjun ki fir se class laga di.
"Bade daadu fir driver ki vardi? Wo toh aap bhool gaye." Arjun chah ke bhi jawaab na de paya tha is baat ka.
"Beta wo toh ab tu he bata dio kaisi silwani hai. Hamare kaha sunega ab ye. Gaadi aa gai, jameen bhi naam hai, ghar bhi aur tu bhi. Toh ye toh apni malkin ki sunega ya hamari.", Kaushalya ji aur Col sahab ne soch lia tha ke dono ki class he laga ke rakhni hai.
"Dadaji?" Arjun ne thoda naraaj hote hue Rameshwar ji ki baahn pakdi toh woh bole.
"Bas bhai bahot hua majaak ab. Han. Aise he tum dono in bacho ke peeche pade ho. Jao beta tum Preeti ko cinema le jao.", Unhone bhi aakhir me hanste hue seep laga di toh Preeti ghar ke andar bhaag gai aur Arjun bagiche me.
"Oye chaabi toh leta ja." col sahab ne awaaj di toh Arjun ne palat kar bas itna kaha, "motorcycle me rehne do. Mai bagiche me naali bana raha hu." Rameshwar ji bhi fir col sahab ke sath chalte barsaat ke baad geele bagaiche ka jayja lene lage the. Kai jagah atcha paani jama ho gaya tha aur Arjun lohe ki khurpi se lakeer banata usko halka khodte hue peeche ki dhalan tak banane laga tha. Patte aur daaliyan toot kar bikhar gai thi jinhe woh sath he utha kar dheri banane laga.
"Bhai sahab damaad ho toh aisa ho. Atcha kia tha aapne jo bachpan me he meri bachi ko iske liye maang lia tha. Khair woh toh pehle se he aapki he hai. Lekin ye bacha itna qaabil hai ke Preeti he khushkismat hai. Nahi toh aisa dusra toh mushkil he hoga kahi. Meri galti rahi ki maine Renuka ke liye koi aisa kyo nahi dekha ya aapse salah nahi kar paya.", Dono log badi phulon ki jhaadiyon si diwar ke sath lage Arjun ko aise kaam me mashgool dekhte baatein kar rahe the.
"Satish, iske bachpan me maine isko chup karane ke liye kaha tha ke tere liye vilayti gudiya aayegi jo bilkul pari jaisi hogi. Fir Preeti aai toh jaise ye shuru se bas uske he aage peeche rehta tha. Na iske koi bache dost the na uske. Shankar ne mujhe kaha tha ke agar koi is ladke ko seedha kar sakta hai toh yahi bachi hai kyonki Preeti ke naam par ye 6 saal ki umar me har us baat ko maan leta tha jo ye kabhi aamtaur par nahi karta tha. Mere bhai ek tarah se toh ye tera ehsaan hai jo ek kachi baat ko tune pakki kar dia. Aur main ek baat aur bhi bata du, agar aisa nahi hua toh fir 10 Shankar bhi us aafat ko nahi rok paayenge jise abhi tu qaabil aur kohinoor bata raha hai.", Col Sahab bhi ye baat samajh gaye the. Unhe bhi atche se pata tha ke dono bache ek dusre ke liye poori prem bhavna rakhte hai. Preeti toh Arjun se dur hone ke baad jaise Arjun ban gai thi. Kabhi kabhi toh aaj bhi uska gussa unhe dara deta hai.
"Bhai sahab chodiyen in baaton ko. Inka bhavishya in sath me he hai. Bas main abhi Renuka ke liye chintit hu. Khair parso jaunga main agle shehar aur jaisa bhabhi ji ne kaha hai Shankar ko bhi bula lunga, wo behtar jaanta hai logo ko aapse aur mujhse kahi. Doctor aadmi hai toh baat sahi karega.", Aakhiri baat par Rameshwar ji bhi muskura diye.
"Teri bhabhi isliye nahi bhej rahi usko ki woh doctor hai. Isliye bhej rahi hai ke wo Shankar hai aur tere me uski jaan basti hai. Pata nahi yar tum dono ka kaisa rishta hai aur mai jaan-na bhi nahi chahta.", Rameshwar ji ab bagiche ke andar aa gaye the jaha Arjun sara paani bahar kar chuka tha aur kachra 'compost' ke gadde me dabane ke baad khurchi hui mitti upar daal raha tha.
"Oh Khotte de puttar. Kade dimag la leya kar. Sanhe boot kehda banda kamm karda kyaari vch.?", Rameshwar ji pyar se daant lagate the toh Punjabi me lagate the usko, wo samajh nahi aati thi Arjun ko lekin Col sahab unki baat sunkar hanste hue andar aa gaye.
"Jab bhi mitti me kam karo toh beta joote utar dia karo.", Arjun mitti ke hath he sar pe ghista sa hans ke andar chal dia, nahane. Ye dono kursi jhaadte wahi baith gaye the.
.
.
"Maa, ab mai library ja raha hu. 12-1 baje tak aaunga. Aap ab pareshan nahi hogi, hai na meri achi maa?", Tayaar hone ke baad Arjun apni maa Rekha ke kamre me baitha tha jo ghar ka kaam nipta ke apne kamre me bister par baith kar kapde teh kar rahi thi. Arjun unhe gale laga ke bola toh woh waisi manmohak muskaan se uske gaal sehalati boli.
"Mera beta jab mera khyal rakh sakta hai toh mai kis baat ki chinta karne lagi." Arjun ko is muskaan ke samne kuch yaad nahi rehta tha. Aur bahar jane ka bolne wala ab wapis maa ki goad me sar rakhe bister par pasar gaya.
"Mera toh fir dil he ni karta kahi jaane ka. Ab dekho na fir se lag raha hai ke yahi so jaun aur aap lori sunao.", Bete ki is baat for woh uske kundal wale baalo me ungliyan firati bas uske chehre ko dekhte rahi. Kaisi kismat thi Rekha ki? Ek pati jo jahaan bhar me dilfenk tha lekin biwi ke liye mahine me bhi 2 ghadi samay nikalta tha, woh bhi sharirik santushti ke liye. Jiske liye band kamre me Rekha ne woh sab seekha jo pasand nahi tha, bas apne pati-parmeshwar ki itcha samajh ke.
'Aur ek ye tha, unka beta. Jiske peeche khud jahaan bhar ki ladkiyan padi thi, wo apni maa ko raat ke andhere me pehchan leta tha ki woh pareshan aur bimar hai. Jiske choone bhar se Rekha ko matritva ke sath he apne aurat hone ka ehsaas ho jata tha. Arjun woh vardaan tha unke liye jo ek khoobsurat chaliya tha. Kabhi unke pas hota toh kabhi agle he pal kai-kai din najre taras jaati thi dhyaan se dekhne ko.
"Atcha ab uth aur padhne ja. Nahi toh teri daadi ne dekh lia toh meri bhi shamat aa jayegi.", Wo usko dularti boli toh Arjun ki najar unke ek ubhar par jamm gai. Mehandi ke rang ki is saree ke neeche unke laal blouse ke ek ubhar par ek chota sa geela dhabba ban gaya tha jo thodi der pehle nahi tha. Rekha ji ne bhi dhyaan dia toh unhe pata lag gaya ke Arjun kaha dekh raha hai. Thodi sharmati si woh uske sar ko uthati fir se boli, "Ab ja fir bahot kaam bhi hai."
Arjun khada ho gaya aur apni maa ke chehre ke aur ek baar dekh kar bahar nikalta hua bola, "Matlab woh sapna nahi tha." aur ek bachkani muskaan udata bahar nikal gaya.
'Ye pagal samajh raha the ke sapna tha woh sab.' Aur apne sar pe hath rakh woh akele me he sharamti si muskaane lagi thi.
.
.
Library me baitha Arjun aaj bhi wahi 2 kitabe liye tha jinke shirshak the. 'Sharir- Ek rehasya' aur 'How to heal yourself'. Aur woh gehrai se unhe samajh raha tha.

"Daadi aapke liye phone hai, aapke bhai ka ganv se.", Kaushalya ji ghar ke samne rehdi wale se phal-sabji le rahi thi ki Alka ne bahar aa unhe awaaj lagai. Kaushalya ji ko pata tha ke unke dono bhai sirf holi-diwali ya jameen ki baat ke liye he phone karte the. Kaushalya ji ke ye dono he bhai takriban 58 aur 66 saal ke the. Lekin jaisa ki prachalan me tha woh behan ke ghar saal-tyohar he aate the.
"Aa gai mai Laxmi. Tu idhar ye sabji karwa le Gyaan se.", Alka ko sabji lene ke liye bol woh andar aai thode tej kadmo se kyonki bhai toh sirf kisi jaruri baat par he karte the phone.
.
.
"Hello, ha Banne?", Unhone apne bhai Banwari ka naam lia jo unhe sabse pyara tha aur chota tha. Pyaar se usko Banna-Banne he bulati thi woh.
"Jiji, mai Hansmukh bol raha hu.", Manjhle ki kaampti awaaj sunkar Kaushalya ji ka dil baith gaya. Saamne bhi shanti cha gai thi.
"Ha Billu. Tu ghabraya kyo hua hai?", Ghabra toh woh khud gai thi pal bhar me he. Chehra shunya aur mann chintit.
"Wo jiji, Billu gujar gaya jiji. Apne bhai ko akele chodd gaya ..." Aur kisi bache sa unka ye bujurg bhai hichkiyan leta rone laga. Ritu kaam se andar aai thi toh dekha ki daadi ki aankhon se tap-tap aansu gaal se ludhakte hue saree par gir rahe the. Idhar Alka sabji ka thaila liye andar aai toh saamne ka najara dekh sann reh gai. Daadi ke haath se phone ka handle niche gir gaya tha aur woh apne pallu ko mooh pe rakhti subakne lagi thi. Ritu ne jaldi se apni daadi ko baahon me bhar lia.
"Khadi kya hai? Maa ko bula ya dada ji ko. Jaldi ja naa." Alka daudti se pichle aangan me gai toh apni maa Lalita ji aur chachi ko daadi ka haal bataya woh dono bhi bhagti hui andar aai toh Kaushalya ji lagbhag achet si Ritu ke upar ludhki thi.
"Maa, daadi ko sadma laga hai. Aap inhe sambhalo mai doctor bula ke laati hu.", Ritu ne apni daadi ko bister par pakde he bola aur Rekha ji ne apni saas ko seene se chipka lia. Pal bhar me he poora ghar waha ikattha tha lekin Ritu scootry daudaati pas ke nursing home pahunch gai. Doctor ko apne sath leke he woh 10 minute me apne ghar aa chuki thi jahan ab daadi ke pas Rameshwar ji aur Col sahab the. Unhe ab hosh tha bas roye jaa rahi thi. Rameshwar ji ke kehne par unhone apni nabz aur raktchap check karwaya toh doctor ne sirf ek injection unhe dia aur araam karne ko bola.
"Pandit ji, koshish kariye ki mata ji jaldi sambhal jaaye. Bloodpressure jyada he kam ho gaya hai inka. Waise dawa toh wahi leni hai jo chal rahi hai.", Doctor apna bag liye bahar nikal gaya.
"Bhabhi, aap itni kamjor toh na thi. Bataye toh sahi ke hua kya hai? Rone se toh koi hal nahi hoga."
"Satish, mera bhai Banna khatam ho gaya re. Main us se mil na paai aakhiri baar.", Rameshwar ji ki bhi aankhon me paani aa gaya lekin jaldi se khud ko sambhalte woh bas apni dharmapatni ka sar sehlate rahe. Alka glucose ke sath daadi ki BP ki dawa lekar andar aai toh Ritu ne unhe uthate hue khud he jabardasti dawa khilate hue glucose ka ek ghoont pilaya.
"Kaushalya ye bahot bura hua, tere liye toh woh bhai kam bacha he tha. Lekin jara in bacho ko bhi dekh jo tere liye aansu baha rahe hai. Mai abhi gaadi mangwata hu, tu rona band kar abhi ke liye. Aur Ritu beta, teri daadi ke aur mere 2 jodi kapde rakh bag me fir mai nikalta hu." Rameshwar ji ko apni biwi se gehra pyaar tha. Unki aankh me aansu dekh woh bhi ro diye the lekin jaante the ke woh mard hai aur unki biwi ka gam dekhte hue unhe majboot rehna he padega.
"Bhabhi, mai gaadi nikalta hu bas aap khud ko sambhale. Bhai sahab mujhe 5 minute dijiye.", Col sahab subah wale kapdo me he the abhi tak aur unhe bhi apni sagi se badhkar in bhabhi ka dukh sehan na hua. Aane wale sabhi kaam bhool kar woh bas apne ghar chal diye, bhabhi ko unke gaanv le jaane.

"Mai bhi aapke sath he chalti hu.", Apne papa ko tayar hote dekh Renuka ne jaise unhe fainsla sunaya aur kamre me ghuste he aanan faanan me 2 safed suit bag me rakhti woh kapde badal kar bahar aa nikli. Col sahab tayaar he khade the. Idhar ghar ke bahar Ritu bag liye khadi thi aur aangan me Rameshwar ji kurta pajama pehne apni dharampatni ko haunsla de rahe the.
"Sirf mere kehne par bas kuch der aansu rok lo Kaushalya. Us bache ne tumhari aankhon me aansu dekh liye toh anarth ho jayega. Doctor ki baat yaad hai na?", Kaushalya ji kuch had tak sambhal chuki thi lekin aansu nirantar aaknhon se jhar-jhar beh rahe the. Apne pati ki baat sunkar aankhon par apni saree rakhti wo koshish karne lagi thi ki ghar se bahar jaate hue woh khud ko sehaj kar le lekin ye mumkin nahi tha. Banwari tha he aisa unke liye. Raakhi par wo suraj ugte ke sath he apni jiji ke pas aa jata tha. Jameen me teen hisse lad-jhaga kar karwaye the usne aur niyam se saal me 2 bar woh apni badi behan ki fasal ki aamdani unke khaate me jama karwa deta tha. Rameshwar ji ko bhi unka ye sala priya tha, shaadi ke baad kitne he din woh inke yaha rehkar apni badi behan ki madad karta tha aur unke bacho par toh jaan vaarta tha.
Shaadi bhi 35 ki umar me ki thi Pandit ji ke dabaw dene par nahi toh woh toh kehta tha ke sabkuch sirf uske shankar ka hai. Aulad ho gai toh bantwara karna padega. Aur bechare ki kismat bhi aisi thi ki patni ka dehant 10 saal ke baad he ho gaya tha. Peeche ek ladki chodd gai thi 8 saal ki jo ab Banwari ke jeene ka sahara thi. Fir bhi Banwari apni behan aur jija ke sath waisa he raha jaisa woh unki shaadi ke samay tha. Bada bhai Hansmukh bas naam ka he hansmukh tha. Banwari jaha ek majboot diler insaan tha, maan maryada me rehne wala. Hansmukh toh sirf joru ka gulam aur darr ke rehne wala halki tabiyat ka bhai.

Cycle chalata Arjun ghar ke samne pahuncha toh badi gaadi bahar khadi thi. Seat par Col sahab baithe dikhe toh idhar ghar se bahar dada aur daadi ke sath bag uthaye Lalita ji aur Maadhuri didi gaadi ki taraf badhte.
"Ye kya hai? Mujhe bina bataye aap sab kidhar jaa rahe ho?" Arjun cycle gaadi ke barabar lata bola toh Rameshwar ji ne jaldi se beech wali seat par apni patni ko Renuka ki bagal me bithate hue sambhalte hue jawaab dia.
"Woh beta hum jara 2 din ke liye teri daadi ke ganv jaa rahe hai kuch jaruri kaam aa gaya hai. Jaldi he aa jayenge aur tu yaha ghar ka dhyaan atche se rakhna kyonki tera bhai bhi parso he aayega." Woh Arjun ka dhyaan khud pe karwa rahe the idhar Lalita ji bhi beech wali seat par apni saas ke bagal aa baithi. Gaadi ka pichla darwaja kholti Maadhuri didi andar hui aur unke peeche Ritu bhi, jisko apni daadi ki haalat sehan nahi ho rahi thi.
"Aap kabhi jhoot nahi bolte dadaji. Lekin Ritu didi ki aankh me paani tha. Koi baat nahi mai puchunga nahi kyonki aap khud he bata denge baad me. Lekin meri daadi ka khayal rakhna.", Jaane ye kaisa andaaj tha us ladke ka aur kitni tej nigah ke woh bhaap sabkuch gaya tha lekin mauka sahi na dekh bas cycle jameen par girata apne dada ke gale lag gaya. Aur unhone bhi aaj thode kamjor sharir se Arjun ko jakad lia.
"Mere bache, sab thik hai aur teri daadi jald he aayegi wapis. Ab hum chalte hai shaam se pehle pahonchna hai.", Kaushalya ji ka gaanv yaha se 3-saadhe 3 ghante ki duri par tha aur jaisa gaanv me riwaj rehta hai antim sanskar suryast se pehle karte hai. Arjun ne Col Sahab ko haath jodd kar pranam kia toh unhone bhi shant chehre se sar hila dia. Gaadi Arjun ke sath se nikalti badh chali toh kuch der woh usko jata dekh bahar waise he khada raha. Gali se bahar nikal jab gaadi aujhal ho gai toh cycle ko uthata woh ghar ke andar chala aaya. Aaj ghar aise shaant tha ke jaise waha koi aur rehta he na ho. Na rasoighar me koi tha aur khaane ki table par. Har samay chehakne wala "Sharma Niwas" kisi khandar sa pratit ho raha tha Arjun ko. Usne pehle kabhi aisa ghar nahi dekha tha jahan maut hui ho toh ye kuch alag he tha uske liye. Jab woh subah gaya tha ghar se toh kitna hansta-khelta chodd kar gaya tha sabko lekin abhi ka sannatta dil me chubh raha tha.
"Ha gaya beta? Chal mooh hath dho le mai tera khana laga deti hu.", Rekha ji ne Arjun ko aise akele gumsum baithe dekha toh woh thoda sambhal kar baat karti uske pas aai.
"Maa, kya hua hai ghar me?", Arjun ka ye sawaal sunkar unhe sach batana he behtar laga.
"beta woh teri daadi ji ke chote bhai ka swargvas ho gaya hai aaj subah. Toh tere dadaji unhe wahin gaanv leke gaye hai. Ab behan aur bhai me toh ek majboot rishta hota he hai. Chahe maut kitni bhi badi sachhai ho lekin har insaan is se ghabrata aur sehan nahi kar pata. Unhe bhi apne bhai ki akaal mrityu ka dukh hai aur wo akeli he toh behan hai. Isliye woh log gaanv gaye hai.", Rekha ji ki baat sunkar Arjun samajh gaya ki sachhai kya hai. Pehle toh uska dil ghabra gaya tha jab usne apne dadaji ko sahara dekar daadi ko gaadi me bithate dekha tha aur Ritu didi ki aankhon me aansu.
"Haan maa. Jivan ki sachhai aisi he hai. Mrityu toh nischit hai lekin kisi apno ko kho dene ka dukh sach me bhaari he hota hoga.", Anubhav nahi tha Arjun ko abhi tak isliye woh shaant ho gaya tha ke jinki mrityu hui hai unhe woh jyada nahi jaanta tha aur daadi ko apne bhai ka gam tha. Arjun ka sar sehlati Rekha ji bhi shant thi aur unhe fakar tha ke unka beta ab bada ho raha hai, samjhdaar hone ke sath he. Tara ke neeche aane ki awaaj se dono alag hue aur Rekha ji rasoighar me chal di. Maut rishteydari me hui thi toh ghar me itna maatam nahi tha lekin agle 13 din bas koi diya nahi jalna tha mandir aur tulsi me.
