Update 153 (b)
Antarmann aur Ananat Prem (1)
"Soye nahi abhi tak? 11 baj chuke hai.", Shalini bathroom se shayad seene par apni bra pehan aayi thi nighty ke neeche se, Arjun ke kamre me aane se pehle. Arjun ko lamp ki roshni me padhte dekh shayad usko apni soch par bhi hansi aayi kyonki baaki kamre me toh andhkaar he tha.
"Ye toh mujhe aapse kehna chahiye bua. Main 12-1 baje tak toh waise bhi nahi sota. Aur neend ka kya hai, kabhi ek ghante me poori ho jaati hai toh kabhi main din me he sharir ko araam de deta hu. Aapko neend nahi aa rahi?", Shalini study table ke pas chali aayi thi jaise dekhna chahti ho ke Arjun kya padhai kar raha hai. Ye ek computer se sambandhit moti si kitaab thi jaha Arjun pencil se jaruri varan ke niche lakeer laga deta.
"Main bhi nishachar he hu samajh lo. Savere 5 baje uthne ke baad nashta kar ke 10 baje soyi thi aur 3 baje uthi. Ab tum ghante me neend poori kar lete ho toh meri bhi 4-5 ghante me ho he jaati hai. Waise kahi tum dhyaan yog toh nahi karte kasrat ke sath sath?", Shalini ko aise khade hue baatein karte dekh Arjun ne kursi ka rukh bister ki taraf kar liya. Shalini bhi samajh kar Arjun ke bed ke kinare baith gayi. Lamp ki roshni me Arjun ka mukhmandal alag he drishya prastut kar raha tha. Jaise ghane ghungralo baalo wala divya purush andhere me apna ehsaas karwa raha ho.
"Aisa toh sabhi karte hai bua. Vicharo ke manthan me har baat par dhyaan dena toh jeev ki aadat hai bas hum usko gehrai se nahi samajhte. Aapko jo pasand hota hai usme doob jaana he toh dhyaan hai. Haan yog alag baat hai jahan kuch niyam aur kaayede jaruri hai. Waise agar aap kuch der jaag rahi hai toh kya hum baatchit kar sakte hai?", Shalini ke yaha aane par bhi Arjun anumati le raha tha aur wahi Shalini is yuvak ki samajh aur gehraai se prabhavit ho rahi thi. Barso baad uska antarmann vichlit tha, shaam ko apne chacha se Arjun ka varnan sunn ne ke baad aur fir Anamika ki baaton se.
"Main bhi chahti hu ki hume baat karni chahiye. Sach kahu toh mujhe khud nahi pata Arjun ki main tumse kya kahungi ya mere yaha aane ki wajah bhi pata nahi mujhe. Lekin kuch sawaal mere bhi hai aur ye samajh lo ki main aashankit bhi hu chintit hone ke sath sath.", Shalini bister par chaukdi laga kar goad me takiya liye ab poori sehajta se baith chuki thi. Aaj uske jiwan me sabkuch alag ho raha tha aur ye sach bhi tha ke wo aisi bilkul bhi na thi. Pichle 20 baras usne apne sasural me khamoshi se bitaye the ek kushal bahu, maa aur biwi ke roop me. Umed se bhi Shalini ki charcha simit he hoti thi.
"Aap apna chintan pehle kar lijiye bua, mere pas toh filhaal samay ki koyi kami bhi nahi aur na mujhe koyi jaldi hai.", Arjun abhi ek tshirt aur pajame me the kyonki aaj kamra band nahi tha aur na wo akela. Shalini ne jhijhakte hue apni baat shuru ki.
"Tum.. tum kya jaante ho Ajji (Ajju) ke baare me? Jahan tak mujhe maloom hai is naam ko toh kisi bhi pariwar me liya bhi nahi jaata. Ajji toh Shankar bhai ki shaadi se pehle he ja chuka tha, sabko chhod kar. Phir tum kaise.. Samajh rahe ho na main kya keh rahi hu.?", Arjun ne kursi se uth kar pehle beech ka darwaja lagaya aur wapis kursi par baith gaya. Shalini ne is ekaant me gor kiya tha ki sava 6 feet ka ladka kahi kahi uske pita aur chacha se adhik robdaar tha lekin unke jaisi he sharirik-bhasha thi.
"Jo dil me rehte hai wo kisi ko chhod kar nahi jaate bua. Aur main unhe dhoondne nahi nikla tha kyonki mujhe toh pata bhi nahi tha ke koyi shakhs aisa bhi hamare pariwar me raha hai. Kuch chhote motte haadso ki wajah dhoond raha tha aur achanak apne he naam se bhent ho gayi. Mujhe nahi pata tha ke mera naam mera he nahi hai.", Arjun batate hue kuch ruka toh Shalini bas usko dekhe he ja rahi thi. Gaal par aayi wo seedhi julfe fir se kaan ke piche karti hui Arjun ke lafjo ki pratiksha kar rahi thi.
"Arjun Singh se aise mulakaat hogi, ye na kabhi socha tha aur na ehsaas tha ki aur jaan ne ki chahat kya kuch karwa degi. Kya aap koyi bhi ek aisa vyakti bata sakti hai jo itne khoobsurat hridya ke vyakti ka bura soch sakta hai? Main toh us naam ke sath nyaye he nahi kar sakta. Khair pata nahi tha na ke naamkaran ki wajah kya hai toh utna dukh nahi hai mujhe.", Arjun ab Shalini bua ko dekh raha tha. Shalini ko ehsaas hua ke is baar Arjun ne bhi kuch poocha hai.
"Na.. nahi koyi aisa insaan nahi tha jo Ajji se nafrat karta tha. Haan bahuto ko jalan jarur thi kyonki ek Ajji he tha jisko sabhi bade-bujurg dil se apna maante the phir chahe wo baaki logo ko utna maan-samman na bhi dete ho.", Shalini khud ki he baat me ulajh gayi thi.
"Jalan karne wala bhi toh bura soch sakta hai na bua? 30 siyaar mil kar bhi sher ko nahi gher sakte kyonki ek panje se wo parolok pahuch jaaynge. Apni he maut ko kaun gherne ki koshish karega? Waise aap bhi bahut logo se vyathit hai aur main aisa keh kar aapka anadar nahi kar raha kyonki pyaar ehsaas he aisa hai.", Arjun ki baat se Shalini ko aisa laga jaise paseene ki lakeer uski garadan se reedh tak gujar gayi ho.
"Itna pata hai ke jinhone bhi Ajji ke sath dhokha kiya unme se bahot log baaki hai. Haan dukh ho bhi kyu na jab kanoon apna poora kaam na kar paya ho, taqat hone par bhi hath jodd diye gaye ho aur badla lene ki jagah raah badal li jaaye toh dukh kya dil toot jata hai. Aisa apne he log kare toh?", Shalini ki aankhon me ashru utar aaye toh ek taraf rakhe saaf rumaal se khud Arjun ne aage badhte hue wo sajal nayan saaf karte hue kisi bujurg ki tarah sar aur gaal thapak diya.
"Badla kis se lena hai agar ye pata he na ho toh kya kar sakte hai. Chacha aur papa ne toh kitno ko he vidhwa kar diya, anaath kar diya aur kitni he maaye nissantaan ho gayi. Bua, chhall ko samajhna jyada jaruri hai poora gaanv jala dene se. Aisa na ho ki satya aapki soch se kahi jyada viprit aur dardbhara ho. Aap sabhi ko dosh deti hai lekin agar main kahu ki Arjun Singh ki hatya me aap bhi ek wajah thi toh?", Shalini ke paanv ke niche se jaise jameen hata di gayi ho. Is band kamre me ek karara tamacha goonj utha. Thappad itna tej tha ki khud Shalini ko apni haddiyon me peeda mehsoos hui par Arjun ke chehre par aaye halke dard ko uski muskaan ne wapis dhakk diya.
Shalini buri tarah kaanp rahi thi aur uski dhadkan ki raftaar itni badh chuki thi jaise deil seene se bahar he nikal aaye. Gussa aur nafrat kuch he pal me hawa ho gaye jab usko ehsaas hua ki usne abhi abhi kya kiya hai aur wo bhi Arjun ke sath.
"Isko he dard dena kehte hai bua. Kriya bhi aapki, kaarya bhi aapka aur kasht bhi khud ko. Barso baad bhi aap apne dil ke ehsaas badal nahi sakti aur main aapko dosh toh nahi de raha. Maine yahi kaha na ke Arjun Singh ki hatya ke peeche ek wajah aap bhi ho sakti ho. Neelima aur Bindiya aapki khaas saheliya thi na aur Neelima ke hridiya me bhi aapki tarah bas Arjun Singh ka naam tha.", Ek baar phir se Shalini ki aankhen geeli ho chali thi jo shayad is raat me kayi baar honi thi.
"Tum ye sab..", Wo bas itna he keh saki thi.
"Shaant ho jao bua, dard ko jitne bahar he nahi aane dogi toh pyaar ka ehsaas kaise hoga? Khud ko jinda rakhna bhar he jeena nahi hota bua. Aap shayad Neelima jitna ijhaar na kar saki thi kyonki bhai ke sath aise rishtey ki samaaj me kalpana maatra se darr lagta hai. Jaanti ho ye baat Neelima beshak na jaanti ho par Bindiya ko pata tha. Aap galat nahi thi lekin aapne bhi jaruratmand ki madad nahi ki. Neelima aur Bindiya behne thi na bua?", Is khulase se Shalini rote hue bhi hairani se Arjun ko dekhne lagi.
"Ye kisi ko nahi pata hai aur mujhe kasam di thi un dono ne jab galti se mujhe pata lag gaya tha. Tumhe kisne bataya ye sab?"
"Bindiya kaaki ne. Neelima ko nahi pata tha ke aap bhi unke sath sath Ajju chacha se prem karti hai lekin wo dono milte toh Bindiya kaaki ke waha the ya phir aapki madad se. Aap khud he socho ki kya wo Bindiya kaaki galat ho sakt hai jo itna kuch jaanti ho aapke baare me? Aapko madad karni chahiye thi unki lekin ab ho gaya so ho gaya.", Shalini ki ummeed se bhi kahi aage tha Arjun aur uski kahi koyi bhi baat galat nahi thi.
"Bhai behan ke beech rishtey ko ye samaaj swikaar nahi karta aur Ajji mujhe hamesha apna dil kehta tha lekin wo waisi bhavna nahi rakhta tha jaisi Neelima ke liye thi. Phir bhi main khush thi aur us jaisa insaan kareeb rahe bas yahi chahat thi meri. Lekin tum kaise keh sakte ho ki Bindiya ka isme koyi hath nahi tha? Kya pata us din main bhi kismat se bachi thi?"
"Ye aap sochna bua kyonki hum khud se jhooth nahi bol sakte. Aapka antarmann behtar jawaab dega aapke har sawaal aur sandeh ka. Rahi baat kisi se bhi prem ki toh ye rishto ki dor se upar hai aur aapne koyi gunaah nahi kiya.", Shalini ki najre jhukk gayi jab apne se aadhi umar kya vyakti prem ki sachhai ka path unhe sikha raha ho.
"Phir bhi tumhe ye toh nahi pata na ki Ajji ki hatya karne walo me kaun kaun shamil tha aur ab jivit bhi hoga?"
"Aap Neelima ka pata de dijiye bas, aakhiri naam tak main pahuch he jaunga. Lekin kya aisa karna sahi hoga bua? Agar baat utne par he nahi ruki toh? Is khojbin me kahi aur kisi ko khona pada toh kya hoga bua? Ateet ke panne palatne par kayi baar vastavikta se kahi jyada badi keemat chukani padd sakti hai.", Arjun ke ye sawaal apni jagah sahi the aur Shalini ke paas sahi jawaab na tha.
"Toh phir tumhe ruk jana chahiye Arjun. Aur meri itni badi galti ke liye ho sake toh maaf kar dena.", Shalini uth kar jaane lagi thi kyonki ab himmat he nahi thi is vyakti ke saamne baithne ki. Thappad maar kar toh jaise khud ko bhi kasht de diya tha Arjun ke sath.
"Kaha na bua ke aisa karke aapne khudko he kasht diya hai. Sabkuch hamare anusaar he hone lage toh hum insaan kaha rahe? Dukh bhi utna he katu satya hai jitna prem aur ye dono he hamare jivit hone ka pramaan hai. Main chahe khojbin karu ya na karu lekin aapki khushiyan ujaadne wale ko uski saja jarur milegi. Chacha sirf aapke liye he eham nahi the. Jaise aapne kaha ki unhe sabhi pyaar karte the toh akeli aap he dard me hai aisa soch kar aap baaki sabko kitna dukh de rahi hongi, ye sochna jaruri hai bua. Wo sabhi aapko bhi toh pyaar karte hai.", Arjun ne paani ki bottle se gilas me thoda paani daal kar Shalini ke mooh se lagaya toh phir se ashrudhara beh chali. Aatma-glani ke bhaav Arjun bhi samajh raha tha.
"Sab bhulana asaan nahi hai lekin jo aapke paas hai uski andekhi karna kahi jyada galat. Aap araam kijiye bua aur kabhi mujhe laga ki aap meri madad kar sakti hai toh main jarur aapke pas aaunga.", Arjun ne jaise unhe kamre se jaane ki hidayat he de di thi, aisa Shalini ko laga.
"Tum chaho toh saja de sakte ho mujhe, mujhse sachmuch badi galti hui hai.", Shalini rukna chahti thi aur khud he apni gustakhi par najre jhukaye thi. Hamesha sakht aavran me lipti rehne wali Shalini ka meljol sirf ghar ke bado tak simit tha. Bacho ke sath wo kuch hadd tak ghulmil jaati thi lekin aaj wo aasakt thi is ladke ke pas rehne ke liye. Wo chahti thi ki Arjun aaj bas unse baatein karta rahe aur har dukh-dard se vimukt kar de unki aatma ko jo jaane kitni he yaadon ki janjiro me jakdi hai. Lekin kya wo adhikar rakhti hai?
"Bua, main bilkul bhi gussa nahi hu. Aapki pratikriya swabhavik thi aur mujhe atcha laga ke aapne ye mujh par jaahir ki bajaye kisi apne ke. Shayad ye baat aapko dada ji ya Umed chacha ji se sunn ne ko milti toh aap chaah kar bhi react nahi kar sakti thi. Dono daadi toh shayad na ye jaan sakti thi aur naa aapko kehne ki himmat rakhti. Yahi log toh aapke kareeb hai na? Raat jyada ho gayi hai aur 3 ghante baad aapko uthna bhi padega. Araam kar lijiye, chahe toh is bister par bhi so sakti hai.", Arjun ne jab ye kaha ki Shalini ke liye wo uska apna nahi hai toh jaise ek pal me he uska bacha khucha dil bhi toote kaanch ki tarah bikhar gaya. Jab tak wo hosh sambhalti, kamre me koyi na dikha.
'Main usko apna nahi maanti? Nahi maanti toh main itni raat ko uske kareeb yaha kyu hoti?', Antarman ki awaaj sune bina he Shalini ne bheegi aankhon se apne aap se he sawaal kiya toh jawaab khud he mil gaya.
'Haan wo galat toh nahi keh raha tha. Mere liye toh wahi sab log apne rahe hai gujre hue baraso me. Maa, chacha ji, chaachi aur kahi kahi bhaiya. Lekin aaj main khud aayi toh thi chal kar iske pas.', Arjun ne thik waisi he chott Shalini ke eham par ki thi jaisi wo kitno ke sath karti rahi hogi. Sab usko dil se apna maante the lekin Shalini ki najro me toh uska dard samajhne wala koyi tha he nahi ghar ke bado ke siwa.
Ek najar ghadi ko dekhte hue wo uth khadi hui. Din badal chuka tha aur ghadi sava 12 dikha rahi thi. Har kadam farsh par rakhna aisa lag raha tha jaise wo tapti hui reit par chal rahi ho. Sabke liye Shalini laadli thi aur kisi ko ijajat nahi thi usko najarandaaj karne ki, beshak wo khud kar sakti thi aisa. Agle kamre me aate he waha bas chain se Anamika soyi dikhi. Arjun yaha bhi nahi tha aur na he Anamika ka beta Niketan.
"Ye shayad kapde geele hone ki wajah se uth gaya tha. Maine badal diye hai, saaf karne ke baad.", Shalini ko bache ki awaaj tak na sunaai di thi jaise Anamika ko. Lekin Arjun ke kaan inse alag the aur wo bina kisi ko pareshan kiye khud he bache ko chup karwa chuka tha. Anamika bhi unindi se uthne lagi toh Arjun ne bacha unki goad me rakh diya.
"Thank you Arjun, shayad aankh jyada gehri lagi thi.", Anamika jhemp rahi thi aur Arjun bhi samajh gaya tha ki ab bache ko stann-paan ki jarurat hai.
"Welcome chachi. Aap log araam kijiye, main bhi ab sone he laga hu. Uthan toh mujhe bhi padega sabke sath. Goodnight bua.", Is baar wo apne kamre me jalte lamp ko band karke gehre andhere me bister par pasar gaya. Shalini kisi ummeed se us dhake hue darwaje ko dekh rahi thi jaise Arjun bulaye aur wo fir se uske kareeb baith kar apne zinda hone ka ehsaas kare. Ab ye jaise mumkin na tha.
"didi aap abhi tak jaag rahi thi?", Anamika ne bache ko doodh pilate hue he poocha. Wo ab bete ke sath leti hui thi aur Shalini ko soch me dooba dekha unki tandra bhang ki. Shalini bhi naummeedi se bister par pasar gayi.
"Neend nahi aa rahi thi toh Arjun se baat karne lagi. Ab kuch der araam karna he behtar rahega Anamaika.", Shalini ne na chahte hue bhi aankhen moond li. Aaj toh neend aankhon se koso dur thi aur Arjun ne Shalini ke kharaab ravaiyye ki saja na dete hue bhi khud se dur karke saja de he di. Hatheli me abhi tak dard tha aur jab maarne wale ke hath me dard ho toh chott khaane wale par kya gujri hogi. Itna sochte he Shalini ki band aankhon se jhar jhar aansu tapakne lage. Jaane kitni der baad wo rote rote he thakaan se neend ke aagosh me gayi thi.
Gehan sannatte me jaane kis wajah se Shalini ek jhatke me uth kar bister par baith gayi. Aahat mann se dukhi ho kar wo ghanta bhar mushkil se soyi hogi aur kisi bure khwaab ko jaise uska sona bhi manjoor na hua. Chehre par aaya halka paseena hath se saaf karti hui wo badi saavdhani se uth khadi hui. Sharir me abhi tak halki kampkampi si thi.
Wo nange paanv he bina awaaj kiye us kamre me aa khadi hui jaha Arjun karwat liye so raha tha. Uska daaya gaal bister par tha aur jaha thappad laga tha wo upar. Dhadakte dil se Shalini uske kareeb aa baithi. Maddim roshni me beshak gaal pe chhapa wo panja saaf na dikha lekin hontho ki kinari ke beech jama gehra rang poori kahani bayaan kar gaya.
'Maaf kar de mujhe Arjun mujhe maaf kar de. Aaj maine apne pyaar ke naam par he hath utha kar bahot he jyada badi galti kar di. Main svaarthi hu jo kisi ki parwah nahi karti lekin tumne aaj mujhe meri sachaai dikh kar ehsaan kiya hai. Tum mere apne ho Arjun aur bahot badi bhool hui jo main pehle tumhare pas na aayi.', Aankhon se girta ek aansu thik us sookh chuke rakt par gira toh Shalini darr se peeche hone lagi.
"Ab so jao na bua. Aap meri apni ho aur koyi bhool nahi hui. Yahi sona hai toh yahi so jao.", Shalini jabtak kuch samajh paati ya jawaab deti Arjun ki baah uski kamar ko dabati hui bister par lita chuki thi. Arjun waise he gehri neend me tha aur chehre par koyi bhaav nahi. Shalini hairat se uske hath ke niche leti hui bas is shaant chehre ko dekh rahi thi.
'Ye sapna hai? Nahi main iske he bister par iske sath leti hu.', Aage wo kuch aur soch paati us se pehle he kamar se upar tiki kohni ne harkat ki. Arjun ki hatheli Shalini ke kaan se upari hisse ko thapakte jaise har soch nikalti hui uske antarmann ko shaant kar gayi. Gehhri neend me wo kisi masoom gudiya si Arjun ke aagosh me chain se so chuki thi. Ye purane Arjun ka ek behtar sanskaran tha jiski dor se Shalini khud bandh chuki thi.

Itni umar hone ke bawjood ye teeno malang bahar wale bathroom me ek sath he naha rahe the. Koyi balti udel raha tha aur koyi fuhare ke niche khada thande paani ka aanand lene me vyast tha. Narinder toh daatun (brush) karne ke sath he dusre hath se khud par paani udel raha tha is darwaja khule bathroom ke bheetar. Teeno samay bachane ke sath sath athkheliya bhi kar rahe the.
"Yar Gajju, wo bahar America me ek bade bathroom me 8-10 fuhare bhi lage hote hai. Ek aisa bathroom tu udhar haveli par banwa aur ek hum Delhi ke paas wali kothi me bhi banwayenge. Yaha toh mumkin nahi.", Shankar baalo me thoda teil lagane ke baad unhi hatho se sharir ki maalish karte hue chahat batane laga.
"Haan yar, udhar toh fir swimming pool bhi bade wala sahi rahega aur bahar nikalte he aadha darjan fuhare. Beer ki chuskiyan lete hue kabhi pool me toh kabhi fuharo ke niche.", Narinder ne brush ek taraf rakhte hue toliya lapet kar kacha badla aur bade bhai ki tarah baalo ke sath sharir ki thodi maalish ki.
"Main toh is se bhi aage soch kar baitha hu Inder. Swimming pool bhi sardi-garmi ke hisaab wala aur bathroom aise bade bade banwane hai jaha tv, bathtub bhi jet-pipe wala aur wahi ek maalish wali aadhunik table. Interior ki kitabe dekhi thi maine Bhole, Vinni padhti rehti hai na toh unme toh aisi duniya hai jo ek baar vishwas he na ho. Soch liya hai ke jo apna Delhi wala aashiyana banayenge waha sara kaam Vinni se karwana hai aur automatic gate se le kar parde bhi button se khulne wale.", Umed, Inder aur Shankar ko ye nahi maloom tha ke unke pita khamoshi se bahar he aangan me pipe laga kar naha rahe he.
"Oye shekhchili ki aulado, bhagwan ke darshan jaa rahe ho aur pehla naam beer ka uske baad duniya jahan ki araam-parasti. Bathroom se nikalne me kasht ho raha hai toh automatic danda bhijwau andar. Khote de puttar, saver hoyi ni te eh haje vi supne vikhi jaande hai. Gappi kise thaah de.", Andar teeno he ek dusre ko dekh mooh dabaye hansne lage aur toliya lapete chupchap baithak me nikal liye. 3 baje se 15 minute upar samay ho chuka tha aur Rameshwar bhi apne bacho ki baatein sunn kar ab hanste hue unke he bathroom me chale gaye, kapde badalne.
"Shalini ko utha diya kya Rekha bitiya?", Yaha toh Kaushalya ji naha kar paath bhi kar chuki thi aur ab apni dharam behan Purnima ke tayaar hone par Rekha se chai lete hue bister par baithi thi. Saree vyavasthit karti hui Purnima ji ne Rekha se apni beti ke liye poocha toh unhone gardan hila di.
"Ji maa ji main bhejti hu Tara ko. Wo bhi tayaar ho chuki hai.", Rekha ji itna bol kar wapis andar chali gayi jaha Maadhuri abhi bathroom se nikli thi aur Priyanka nahane chali gayi. Upar wale bathroom me toh jo bhi hota tha uska yaha kisi ko pata na tha.
"Tara, upar dekh jara teri Shalini mausi tayaar ho rahi hai ya abhi tak uthi nahi. Arjun ko sone dena agar nahi utha ho toh. Ghar se jaate samay utha denge usko.", Rekha ji ne itna kehne ke sath he chai ke kuch cup liye aur apne kamre me chal di. Waha Rajeshwari ji bhi tayaar ho rahi thi Lalita ji ke sath aur uske baad Krishna ji ko bhi uthana tha. Tara apne sath Vinni ko liye upar chal di.
"Kitna ajeeb lagta hai na yaar raat dhai baje uthna aur phir aise tayaar hona. Main toh car me bhi so jaungi agar sukoon mila toh.", Vinni nahane ke baad bhi kuch sust thi aur Tara uske sath hansti hui idhar hall kamre tak chali aayi.
"So jana didi. Waise aap itni raat tak Komal didi ke sath baatein karti rahogi toh neend ki kami toh hone he wali hai. Komal didi ko aadat hai is sabki lekin hum sabhi 10 baje se pehle so chuki thi. Aaisha abhi uthi hai aur main dekh kar hairaan hu ki uski neend doodh peene se khulti hai.", Andar aane par dono ke he ruk gayi. Bathroom khula tha aur bister par Anamika chachi apne bete ke sath soyi hui thi.
"Bua, toh yaha nahi dikh rahi.", Vinni ke aisa kehte he Tara kuch soch kar uska hath pakde seedha Arjun ke kamre me dakhil ho gayi. Ab Vinni ka mooh khula reh gaya aur Tara bas thoda hairaan thi kyonki darwaja khula tha jiska matlab kuch galat kaam toh nahi hua idhar.
Shalini bua is waqt Arjun ke seene par sar rakhe soyi thi aur Arjun bister par seedha pasra tha bua ko apne sath lagaye. Uska ek hath bua ke niche se hota hua kamar ko thaame tha.
"Shhhh.. Dekho apni bua ko Vinni didi. Isko kehte hai chintamukt neend aur sachmuch iski ummeed toh mujhe bhi nahi thi.", Ye baat kaan me fusfusate hue Tara ne kahi thi aur Vinni ka hath abhi bhi apne mooh par tha.
"Yaar, baat chintamukt ki nahi hai Tara. Arjun toh chal jaisa hai waisa he rahega lekin nighty ki halat toh dekh jara. Thodi si upar toh private part he dikhne lagenge.", Vinni ye keh rahi thi aur Tara kuch aur dekh kar muskura rahi thi. Vinni ne najro ka peecha kiya toh Arjun ka wo sakht aur bada ubhar Shalini ki jaangh ke niche aadha daba tha.
"Aap bahar jao didi, main uthati hu mausi ko. Shayad aapko dekh kar comfortable na lage unhe. Relax raho, bas so he rahi hai aur lagta hai jaise unhe aisi neend ki jarurat bhi thi.", Tara ne samajhdari dikhate hue Vinni ko bahar bheja aur aahista se nighty ko thoda niche karte hue ujli jaangho ko dhakk diya.
"Mausi, saadhe 3 ho rahe hai. Uth jaaiye sab intjaar kar rahe hai.", Tara ne halke se hilate hue aisa kaha tha. Shalini neend me he Arjun se thoda kass ke lipat gayi lekin phir kunmunate hue uthi thi dhyaan se har taraf dekhne lagi. Apni sthithi ka ehsaas hote he sakpakati hui wo khadi hone lagi thi aur is chakkar me kamar par rakha haath unke ek ubhaar se atche se ragad gaya.
"Haan main 10 minute me aati hu Tara. Wo udhar Anamaika ke bete ki wajah se neend nahi aayi thi toh idhar so gayi. Bathroom se tayaar ho kar bas main thodi der tak aati hu." Tara ne halki muskurahat se sar hilaya aur bahar nikal gayi. Bister par baith kar Shalini ne ek baar bahar najar ki jaha ab koi na tha aur phir Arjun ke chaude kasrati badan ko jaha ab tshirt nahi thi. Chehre ki masoomiyat aur sukoon se band wo lambi palko wali aankhen. Shalini ne muskurate hue jhuk kar uska gaal choom liya.
'Thank you so much. Jald milte hai.', Shalini ke khade hote he nighty ke andar se wo khuli hui bra farsh par giri. Ab muskurahat ke sath gheri sharam bhi chha chuki thi. Jaldi se bra ko hatheli me daboche wo bathroom me ja ghusi. Sharir par roye khade ho chuke the sab yaad karte he.

Ghar ke bahar 6 gaadiyan khadi thi is samay aur safari ke pichle hisse me samaan rakhne ke baad sabhi sadasya apni itcha anusaar andar baithne lage. Col sahab ki gaadi me Pandit ji ke sath Kaushalya ji, Purnima ji aur Madhuri ke sath aakhiri seat par Mukesh aur uski biwi Parvati the. Preeti ek dheel safed pajame aur dheeli si indradhunsh ki chhap wali tshirt pehne Ritu se dhimi awaaj me gutur-gu me vyast thi.
"Ye Arjun utha nahi abhi tak?", Narinder ji ne Cielo ka darwaja kholte hue ek najar ghar ke andar ki toh Sanjiv apne chhote bhai ko kuch samjhate hue bahar la raha tha. Arjun sabko najar-andaaj karta apne dada ke pas aa ruka.
"Aap naraaj toh nahi hai na bauji?", Gaadi me Pandit ji abhi baithe nahi the aur paute ki baat sunn kar gale lagate hue muskura diye.
"Main tere har fainsle par sirf khush he hota hu mere bache. Dil ki sunn ne wala kabhi galat nahi hota aur main bhi toh teri daadi ki wajah se ja raha hu kyonki majburi hai. hahaha. Chal apna khayaal rakhna aur kahi jana ho toh Kashyap ji ko bata dena.", Rameshwar ji ne sar sehlate hue kaha toh Arjun ne bhi khush ho kar unke liye darwaja khola.
"Chhote daadu, gaadi araam se chalana. Sabse jaruri log bas is gaadi me he hain.", Arjun ne aisa apni daadi ki taraf dekh kar hanste hue kaha tha.
"Haan bhai, thodi ghabrahat toh hai lekin bhai sahab jitni nahi. Dono ghar ka khayaal rakhna peeche se. Preeti 7 baje Manju ke ghar jaayegi toh ho sake toh chhod aana.", Col Sahab bhi steering ke peech aa baithe toh sabse pehle inki he gaadi aage badhi. Dekhte he dekhte baaki sabhi car idhar se apne gantavya ki taraf badhne lagi aur aakhiri wali ko le jaane se pehle Umed ji ne ruk kar Arjun ko kareeb bulaya.
"Koyi shaitaani nahi aur sirf ghar pe."
"Aapko kya lagta hai chacha ji main ghar se kahi dur jaunga. Nischint rahiye aur araam se jaaye."
"Haan pata hai mujhe ki aajkal mera beta kaha tak pahuch raha hai. Lekin aaj akele ho toh kuch bhi aisa waisa nahi."
"Shaadi tak is ghar ki hadd me rahunga.", ye baat Arjun ne badi dhimi awaaj me kahi thi aur pichli seat se dekhti Shalini par najar padi toh wo dusri taraf dekhne lagi.
"Jaanta hu main aur main hamesha tumhare sath hu Arjun. Chalo shaam ko milte hai.", Umed ne gaadi chalu ki toh Arjun ne baaki sabki taraf bhi bye ka ishara kiya, khaas kar Shalini bua ko. Iske sath he ab yaha ek taraf Arjun aur kuch kadam peeche Preeti khadi thi bas.
"Ghar badal liya jaaye darling?", Arjun ki aisi baat sunn kar Preeti kisi navbyahta ki tarah sharma rahi thi lekin Arjun ke ghar ke gate ko pakadti bas itna bol gayi.
"Sab meri almari me hai aur ek packet fridge me.", Preeti darwaja band karti andar daud gayi jaise waha uska khajana pada ho aur Arjun muskurata hua Preeti ke ghar.

Manju aur Menaka ko car me baithane ke sath he Sanjiv ki car bhi raftaar pakadti hui baaki kaafile ke peeche nikal chali. Is car me agli seat par Alka aur pichli par Ritu thi. Wahi inse aage daud rahi Safari ka steering Narinder ji ne bakhubi thaam rakha tha is halke andhere aur khaali sadak par. Aarti apni pita ki bagal me thi aur pichli seat par Krishna, Rekha aur Romela ki tikdi. Aakhiri hisse me dher sara samaan tha jo daan-dakshina me prayog hona tha.
Lekin mahol alag he bann gaya jab shehar se bahar intjaar karti badi mercedes inke sath chal di. Waha Paramvir Sangwan ne jaise Shankar ko dipper se kuch ishara kiya toh cielo ne turant he kataar todd kar aage chal rahi Umed ki car ke baad Col sahab ki sierra ko bhi pachhaad diya. Dono car ab sarpat daud rahi thi is kahmosh highway par aur apne papa ki bagal me baithi Rupali josh se bhar uthi.
"Papa, hum he aage rahenge aap aur tej bhagao.", Rupali ne jaise uttejjana me papa kaha toh Shankar ji ki car 180 paar karti hui sadak se aur chipak kar fisalne lagi thi. Peeche baithi Renuka ki toh saansein he atak gayi lekin Komal ne hath par hath rakhte hue unhe sehaj rehne ka ishara diya. Anamika bhi chintit thi lekin wo ek baar pehle bhi apne jeth ji ki driving dekh chuki thi.
"Beta, wo car khud dhire karenge dekhti raho. Usko bhi pata hai ke steering par kaun sawaar hai.", Yaha ek minute me 3 kilometer paar karti ye car sachmuch Chhote Sangwan ki aukaat se bahar ho gayi thi pakadni. Abhi inka ye sab chal he raha tha aur saayen se Umed is car ko piche chhodta 200 paar karta aage nikal chala. Shankar ji ki car is se adhik nahi jaa sakti thi aur kuch soch kar wo ab kaayde se 100 par aa chuke the.
"Papa. Wo toh race me the he nahi.", Jaise he Rupali ne ye kaha toh Shankar ji muskura diye.
"Beta tumhare chacha ji ka matlab hai main akela nahi hu aur ye race lagana thik nahi. Lekin jald he tumhe sath le chalunga aur phir hum tumhare Param chacha ke sath Delhi tak ki race lagayenge.", Rupali ne bhi gor kiya toh Umed wali gaadi bhi ab inki raftaar par he sahi line me aage chal rahi thi.
"Thik hai lekin aap waisi gaadi kyu nahi lete?", Rupali ke sawaal me kuch alag chahat nahi thi bas wo apne baap wali car ki seema samajhte hue aisa boli thi.
"Meri beti jis din college jayegi toh us se bhi atchi car me khud jayegi. Meri toh umar ho chuki ab aur ghar me pehle he itni gaadi hai. Lekin tumhare liye main sabse atchi car lunga.", Komal bhi apne pita ki baat sunn kar muskura rahi thi aur Renuka ko bhi atcha lag raha tha ke unka ye bhai dil ka kitna atcha hai. Thoda gussel aur ziddi hai lekin apno ke sath nahi.
"Shankar bhaiya, Rajkumar bhaiya ki car najar nahi aayi. Wo hamare sath he chale the na?", Renuka ne baat ka rukh ghumaya toh pichle shishe me dekhte hue Shankar ji ne jawaab diya.
"Renu, Raju bhai tumhari Saroj bhabhi aur Daleep bhaiya ko le kar wahi pahuchenge badi gaadi se.", Daleep ne bhi nayi safaari li thi kuch din pehle.
"Papa, iska matlab waha naani ji bhi aayenge kya?", Komal ke is sawaal par Shankar ji ne haami bhari.
"Haan lekin sirf tumhare nana ji aur naani aayenge Rajesh aur Mamta ke sath. Baaki jaane par he pata chalega beta.", Is tarah ki baatein yaha chal rahi thi wahi Narinder ji ki gaadi me poora hansi majaak ho raha tha. Wo baaton baaton me apni Rekha bhabhi ke sath sath Romela ko bhi lapet lete aur kahi Krishna ji ke sath Romela narinder ji ko. Shaant samay aur hansi thitholi se ye safar majedar he jaa raha tha.

Dheemi awaaj me chalta 'pal pal dil ke pas, tum rehti ho' aur is bade kamre me faili behtareen mehak, jo khaas agarabattiyo se aa rahi thi bina dhuyen ke. Ujli safed reasmi chaadar aur 20 taapmaan par chalta AC kamre ko bharpoor thandak pradaan kar rahe the.
Vishaal bathroom ke bheetar ka najara bhi kuch alag na tha jaha chamchamate bathtub me gulaab aur mogre ki bahutayat thi. Itni savere ghar me jaha purn andhkaar tha bas yahi bathroom laal-neeli mombattiyo ke prakaash se jagmag tha. Bas ye jagah Preeti ka kamra na tha aur saari tayaariya poori karne ke baad Arjun araam se Preeti ke bister par pasar gaya.
"Uthne ke baad phir se sone ka irada tha toh pehle he bata dete.", Preeti jab kamre me daakhil hui toh wo pehle wale libaas me he thi lekin chehre aur nirvastra baahen darpan si chamakti dusre ghar me ki gayi mehnat bayaan karne ke liye bahot thi.
"Ye dress pehan kar bahar hall me milna jara.", Arjun furti se uth kar Preeti ke saamne aa khada hua. Bister par ek taraf wo jheeni safed poshak ki taraf ishara karta wo bahar jaane laga lekin phir ruk kar bola.
"Sirf wahi dress aur kuch bhi nahi jaan... umaahhh.", Ek halka sa chumban Preeti ke larajte hontho par karta wo kamre se bahar nikal gaya darwaja band karta hua. Preeti kuch hairaan thi aur usko kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha ke Arjun kar kya raha hai. Chalti hui wo is poshaak tak aayi toh muskura uthi. Lagbhag paardarshi aur kandhe se patli pattiyon wali ye nighty jaisi dress kahi uttejjak thi. Ek pal ke liye toh dil me alag si tarang uthne lagi isko bina adhovastro ke pehan ne ki kalpana maatra se.
'Bachu, aaj tumhara subah hai toh khel tumhara. Dopehar meri hai bas ye yaad rakhna. Chalo ab main bhi dekhti hu apne khel me kitna tikte ho.', Dress uthate he uske niche rakhi dibbi najar aayi jispar likha tha, 'your eyes are my ocean, as mine are your earth'. Dibbi ke andar chaandi si chamakdar lekin alag dhatu ki ye patli chain ke beech dil ka locket tha, aadha bhoora aur aadha neela.
'Umm .. i love you..", Usko choomte hue Preeti ne ek pal me he apne dono vastra tyaag diye. Nahane ki hidayat nahi thi aur sirf wo safed ghutno tak ki lambai wali poshak pehan kar Preeti ne necklace mutthi me band kar liya. Aaine me khud ko dekhte he sharam se gulabi chehra ab laal he hone laga tha. Ye poshaak uske khade teekhe chuchak saaf dikha rahi thi. Jaise taise dhadkan sambhalti hui wo bahar nikli toh table par rakhi wo gulabi wine ki bottle sabse pehle najar aayi.
'le chalo mujhe apni maa ke kamre me', Ab ye kya hai? Ye jaanchne ke liye ki kya sachmuch ye wo cheej hai jo Preeti soch rahi thi, usne atche se nirikshan kiya. Alcohal content 5% dekh ek gehri saans leti wo apni maa ke kamre ka darwaja khol andar daakhil hui toh safed reshmi chaadar par laal saree, bra, panty aur blouse ke sath waisa he nirdesh mila.
'After bath.', Matlab saaf tha ki Arjun bathroom me hai lekin kamre ki ye uttejjak mehak aur itni gehri shanti me bajta sangit sunn kar Preeti ke roye khade hone lage agle jhatke ki kalpana maatra se. Lekin wo bathroom ki taraf badhti us se pehle he is atyadhik thande kamre me Arjun dabe paanv peeche se aaya aur usko dono baahon me utha liya. Bottle kass ke pakadti Preeti apni neeli-hari aankhen badi badi karti usko hairat se dekh rahi thi. Arjun ke sharir par bas ek jheeni si nikkar matra thi.
"I love you more than my life. Ye din hamare aane wale vaivaahik dino ke jhalak bhar hai. Umaahhh....", Is baar wala chuban kahi gehra tha aur Preeti ke tarashe hue sudol lamabe badan ko baahon me uthaye Arjun is bade bathroom me chala aaya. Ek taraf wo paani se aadha bhara bada bathtub, kareeb he stool par rakhe kate hue naarangi, dipit mombattiya aur mishrit itra ki uttejjak mehak.
"Tum zindagibhar aise he surprise dete rahoge?",Preeti duniya ki sabse araamdayak jagah par nishchint thi. Ye pyaar barso ka tha lekin aaj Arjun ne usko purn karne ka nirnaya le liya tha.
"Nahi, tumhari har subah meri baahon me hogi bas itna keh sakta hu.", Chalte hue Arjun ne ek kadam tub me rakha aur bade araam se Preeti ka sharir is tarah rakha ke chehra sar tikane ki jagah paani se bahar rahe. Ek pal ko toh thandak se Preeti ki saans he rukne lagi aur dusre he pal bagal me aate Arjun ne usko apne upar lita liya.
"Aahhhh.. tum thande paani ka torcher de rahe ho.", Preeti ne bheege chehre ko Arjun ke upar karte hue kutil muskaan se kaha.
"Jara khud ko dekho na Preeti.", Waise he muskaan Arjun ke chehe par dekh Preeti ne apne seene ki taraf dekha toh wo lagbhag nirvastra thi. Dono sudol ubhar thande paani ki wajah se kahi sakht ho chuke the aur kapda bheegne se unka purn avlokan ho raha tha.
"Bade gande ho tum, sachmuhc. Dimaag kaha kaha chalate ho. Jaante ho tumhare sath mujhe iski bhi jarurat nahi waise.", Arjun ke chehre par lagi ek gulab ki patti hontho se uthate hue wo badi maadakta se boli. Wo gulab jald he ek gehre chumban ke beech kuchal kar gayab ho gaya.
"Ye mutthi kyu band hai?", Arjun ke kehte he Preeti ne hatheli saaamne kar di. Karwat leti wo tub ke bheetar he Arjun ke seene par peeth karti leit si gayi. Drishya itna maadak tha jaise sachmuch Yunaan ki koyi devi apni atulniya premi par leti ho. Dono ke bejod jism paani ke bheetar spasht the. Apne hatho se he Preeti ke gale me locket pehnate hue Arjun peeche se uski gardan choomne laga. Aaj us kathor ang ne Preeti ko vasna se nahi dekha tha.
"Aahhh.. Kitna khaas hota hai na ye ehsaas Arjun? Tumhare sath jaise meri duniya poori ho jaati hai. Aahhh.. kya kar rahe ho?", Preeti uski baahon me kasmasa rahi thi aur jald he usko apne kathor chucho par narangi se tapakte rass ka ehsaas hua aur un tukdo ko tub me girate hue Arjun ke hatho ne dono ubhar daboch liye.
"Dream-drop. Greek culture hai na Preeti? Paani me phal, wine, phool aur oils. Meri khwahish tumse judi har cheej hai. Sampoorn hona hai toh phir dono ki sabhyata aur shaili ke samavesh se kyu nahi? Waise bhi tumhe pyaar karne ke har bahane sakaar karne ko tayaar hu main.. Aaj kuch jyada he naram ho tum.", Arjun kehne ke sath sath Preeti ke kandhe choomta hua ek hath se kati-pradesh tak sehlane laga. Uttejjana me Preeti ne kamar uchkate hue us khaas ubhaar ke upar apne thos nitambh tikaye toh ab siskari Arjun ke mooh se nikli.
"Let's see who is more into teasing.. umaahh.. Tum karo Greek aur main dikhati hu Indian style.", Arjun kuch kehta us se pehle he Preeti ne kass ke uske dono hontho ko daanto me daboch liya. Lambe chumban ka antt bahar baj rahi ghanti se hua.
"Sala ab kaun dushman aa gaya? Main nahi hilne wali.", Preeti ke mooh se saala sunn kar Arjun muskura diya. Lekin usko pata tha ye ghanti kisne bajayi hogi.
"Main dekhta hu, tum yahi ruko."
Antarmann aur Ananat Prem (1)
"Soye nahi abhi tak? 11 baj chuke hai.", Shalini bathroom se shayad seene par apni bra pehan aayi thi nighty ke neeche se, Arjun ke kamre me aane se pehle. Arjun ko lamp ki roshni me padhte dekh shayad usko apni soch par bhi hansi aayi kyonki baaki kamre me toh andhkaar he tha.
"Ye toh mujhe aapse kehna chahiye bua. Main 12-1 baje tak toh waise bhi nahi sota. Aur neend ka kya hai, kabhi ek ghante me poori ho jaati hai toh kabhi main din me he sharir ko araam de deta hu. Aapko neend nahi aa rahi?", Shalini study table ke pas chali aayi thi jaise dekhna chahti ho ke Arjun kya padhai kar raha hai. Ye ek computer se sambandhit moti si kitaab thi jaha Arjun pencil se jaruri varan ke niche lakeer laga deta.
"Main bhi nishachar he hu samajh lo. Savere 5 baje uthne ke baad nashta kar ke 10 baje soyi thi aur 3 baje uthi. Ab tum ghante me neend poori kar lete ho toh meri bhi 4-5 ghante me ho he jaati hai. Waise kahi tum dhyaan yog toh nahi karte kasrat ke sath sath?", Shalini ko aise khade hue baatein karte dekh Arjun ne kursi ka rukh bister ki taraf kar liya. Shalini bhi samajh kar Arjun ke bed ke kinare baith gayi. Lamp ki roshni me Arjun ka mukhmandal alag he drishya prastut kar raha tha. Jaise ghane ghungralo baalo wala divya purush andhere me apna ehsaas karwa raha ho.
"Aisa toh sabhi karte hai bua. Vicharo ke manthan me har baat par dhyaan dena toh jeev ki aadat hai bas hum usko gehrai se nahi samajhte. Aapko jo pasand hota hai usme doob jaana he toh dhyaan hai. Haan yog alag baat hai jahan kuch niyam aur kaayede jaruri hai. Waise agar aap kuch der jaag rahi hai toh kya hum baatchit kar sakte hai?", Shalini ke yaha aane par bhi Arjun anumati le raha tha aur wahi Shalini is yuvak ki samajh aur gehraai se prabhavit ho rahi thi. Barso baad uska antarmann vichlit tha, shaam ko apne chacha se Arjun ka varnan sunn ne ke baad aur fir Anamika ki baaton se.
"Main bhi chahti hu ki hume baat karni chahiye. Sach kahu toh mujhe khud nahi pata Arjun ki main tumse kya kahungi ya mere yaha aane ki wajah bhi pata nahi mujhe. Lekin kuch sawaal mere bhi hai aur ye samajh lo ki main aashankit bhi hu chintit hone ke sath sath.", Shalini bister par chaukdi laga kar goad me takiya liye ab poori sehajta se baith chuki thi. Aaj uske jiwan me sabkuch alag ho raha tha aur ye sach bhi tha ke wo aisi bilkul bhi na thi. Pichle 20 baras usne apne sasural me khamoshi se bitaye the ek kushal bahu, maa aur biwi ke roop me. Umed se bhi Shalini ki charcha simit he hoti thi.
"Aap apna chintan pehle kar lijiye bua, mere pas toh filhaal samay ki koyi kami bhi nahi aur na mujhe koyi jaldi hai.", Arjun abhi ek tshirt aur pajame me the kyonki aaj kamra band nahi tha aur na wo akela. Shalini ne jhijhakte hue apni baat shuru ki.
"Tum.. tum kya jaante ho Ajji (Ajju) ke baare me? Jahan tak mujhe maloom hai is naam ko toh kisi bhi pariwar me liya bhi nahi jaata. Ajji toh Shankar bhai ki shaadi se pehle he ja chuka tha, sabko chhod kar. Phir tum kaise.. Samajh rahe ho na main kya keh rahi hu.?", Arjun ne kursi se uth kar pehle beech ka darwaja lagaya aur wapis kursi par baith gaya. Shalini ne is ekaant me gor kiya tha ki sava 6 feet ka ladka kahi kahi uske pita aur chacha se adhik robdaar tha lekin unke jaisi he sharirik-bhasha thi.
"Jo dil me rehte hai wo kisi ko chhod kar nahi jaate bua. Aur main unhe dhoondne nahi nikla tha kyonki mujhe toh pata bhi nahi tha ke koyi shakhs aisa bhi hamare pariwar me raha hai. Kuch chhote motte haadso ki wajah dhoond raha tha aur achanak apne he naam se bhent ho gayi. Mujhe nahi pata tha ke mera naam mera he nahi hai.", Arjun batate hue kuch ruka toh Shalini bas usko dekhe he ja rahi thi. Gaal par aayi wo seedhi julfe fir se kaan ke piche karti hui Arjun ke lafjo ki pratiksha kar rahi thi.
"Arjun Singh se aise mulakaat hogi, ye na kabhi socha tha aur na ehsaas tha ki aur jaan ne ki chahat kya kuch karwa degi. Kya aap koyi bhi ek aisa vyakti bata sakti hai jo itne khoobsurat hridya ke vyakti ka bura soch sakta hai? Main toh us naam ke sath nyaye he nahi kar sakta. Khair pata nahi tha na ke naamkaran ki wajah kya hai toh utna dukh nahi hai mujhe.", Arjun ab Shalini bua ko dekh raha tha. Shalini ko ehsaas hua ke is baar Arjun ne bhi kuch poocha hai.
"Na.. nahi koyi aisa insaan nahi tha jo Ajji se nafrat karta tha. Haan bahuto ko jalan jarur thi kyonki ek Ajji he tha jisko sabhi bade-bujurg dil se apna maante the phir chahe wo baaki logo ko utna maan-samman na bhi dete ho.", Shalini khud ki he baat me ulajh gayi thi.
"Jalan karne wala bhi toh bura soch sakta hai na bua? 30 siyaar mil kar bhi sher ko nahi gher sakte kyonki ek panje se wo parolok pahuch jaaynge. Apni he maut ko kaun gherne ki koshish karega? Waise aap bhi bahut logo se vyathit hai aur main aisa keh kar aapka anadar nahi kar raha kyonki pyaar ehsaas he aisa hai.", Arjun ki baat se Shalini ko aisa laga jaise paseene ki lakeer uski garadan se reedh tak gujar gayi ho.
"Itna pata hai ke jinhone bhi Ajji ke sath dhokha kiya unme se bahot log baaki hai. Haan dukh ho bhi kyu na jab kanoon apna poora kaam na kar paya ho, taqat hone par bhi hath jodd diye gaye ho aur badla lene ki jagah raah badal li jaaye toh dukh kya dil toot jata hai. Aisa apne he log kare toh?", Shalini ki aankhon me ashru utar aaye toh ek taraf rakhe saaf rumaal se khud Arjun ne aage badhte hue wo sajal nayan saaf karte hue kisi bujurg ki tarah sar aur gaal thapak diya.
"Badla kis se lena hai agar ye pata he na ho toh kya kar sakte hai. Chacha aur papa ne toh kitno ko he vidhwa kar diya, anaath kar diya aur kitni he maaye nissantaan ho gayi. Bua, chhall ko samajhna jyada jaruri hai poora gaanv jala dene se. Aisa na ho ki satya aapki soch se kahi jyada viprit aur dardbhara ho. Aap sabhi ko dosh deti hai lekin agar main kahu ki Arjun Singh ki hatya me aap bhi ek wajah thi toh?", Shalini ke paanv ke niche se jaise jameen hata di gayi ho. Is band kamre me ek karara tamacha goonj utha. Thappad itna tej tha ki khud Shalini ko apni haddiyon me peeda mehsoos hui par Arjun ke chehre par aaye halke dard ko uski muskaan ne wapis dhakk diya.
Shalini buri tarah kaanp rahi thi aur uski dhadkan ki raftaar itni badh chuki thi jaise deil seene se bahar he nikal aaye. Gussa aur nafrat kuch he pal me hawa ho gaye jab usko ehsaas hua ki usne abhi abhi kya kiya hai aur wo bhi Arjun ke sath.
"Isko he dard dena kehte hai bua. Kriya bhi aapki, kaarya bhi aapka aur kasht bhi khud ko. Barso baad bhi aap apne dil ke ehsaas badal nahi sakti aur main aapko dosh toh nahi de raha. Maine yahi kaha na ke Arjun Singh ki hatya ke peeche ek wajah aap bhi ho sakti ho. Neelima aur Bindiya aapki khaas saheliya thi na aur Neelima ke hridiya me bhi aapki tarah bas Arjun Singh ka naam tha.", Ek baar phir se Shalini ki aankhen geeli ho chali thi jo shayad is raat me kayi baar honi thi.
"Tum ye sab..", Wo bas itna he keh saki thi.
"Shaant ho jao bua, dard ko jitne bahar he nahi aane dogi toh pyaar ka ehsaas kaise hoga? Khud ko jinda rakhna bhar he jeena nahi hota bua. Aap shayad Neelima jitna ijhaar na kar saki thi kyonki bhai ke sath aise rishtey ki samaaj me kalpana maatra se darr lagta hai. Jaanti ho ye baat Neelima beshak na jaanti ho par Bindiya ko pata tha. Aap galat nahi thi lekin aapne bhi jaruratmand ki madad nahi ki. Neelima aur Bindiya behne thi na bua?", Is khulase se Shalini rote hue bhi hairani se Arjun ko dekhne lagi.
"Ye kisi ko nahi pata hai aur mujhe kasam di thi un dono ne jab galti se mujhe pata lag gaya tha. Tumhe kisne bataya ye sab?"
"Bindiya kaaki ne. Neelima ko nahi pata tha ke aap bhi unke sath sath Ajju chacha se prem karti hai lekin wo dono milte toh Bindiya kaaki ke waha the ya phir aapki madad se. Aap khud he socho ki kya wo Bindiya kaaki galat ho sakt hai jo itna kuch jaanti ho aapke baare me? Aapko madad karni chahiye thi unki lekin ab ho gaya so ho gaya.", Shalini ki ummeed se bhi kahi aage tha Arjun aur uski kahi koyi bhi baat galat nahi thi.
"Bhai behan ke beech rishtey ko ye samaaj swikaar nahi karta aur Ajji mujhe hamesha apna dil kehta tha lekin wo waisi bhavna nahi rakhta tha jaisi Neelima ke liye thi. Phir bhi main khush thi aur us jaisa insaan kareeb rahe bas yahi chahat thi meri. Lekin tum kaise keh sakte ho ki Bindiya ka isme koyi hath nahi tha? Kya pata us din main bhi kismat se bachi thi?"
"Ye aap sochna bua kyonki hum khud se jhooth nahi bol sakte. Aapka antarmann behtar jawaab dega aapke har sawaal aur sandeh ka. Rahi baat kisi se bhi prem ki toh ye rishto ki dor se upar hai aur aapne koyi gunaah nahi kiya.", Shalini ki najre jhukk gayi jab apne se aadhi umar kya vyakti prem ki sachhai ka path unhe sikha raha ho.
"Phir bhi tumhe ye toh nahi pata na ki Ajji ki hatya karne walo me kaun kaun shamil tha aur ab jivit bhi hoga?"
"Aap Neelima ka pata de dijiye bas, aakhiri naam tak main pahuch he jaunga. Lekin kya aisa karna sahi hoga bua? Agar baat utne par he nahi ruki toh? Is khojbin me kahi aur kisi ko khona pada toh kya hoga bua? Ateet ke panne palatne par kayi baar vastavikta se kahi jyada badi keemat chukani padd sakti hai.", Arjun ke ye sawaal apni jagah sahi the aur Shalini ke paas sahi jawaab na tha.
"Toh phir tumhe ruk jana chahiye Arjun. Aur meri itni badi galti ke liye ho sake toh maaf kar dena.", Shalini uth kar jaane lagi thi kyonki ab himmat he nahi thi is vyakti ke saamne baithne ki. Thappad maar kar toh jaise khud ko bhi kasht de diya tha Arjun ke sath.
"Kaha na bua ke aisa karke aapne khudko he kasht diya hai. Sabkuch hamare anusaar he hone lage toh hum insaan kaha rahe? Dukh bhi utna he katu satya hai jitna prem aur ye dono he hamare jivit hone ka pramaan hai. Main chahe khojbin karu ya na karu lekin aapki khushiyan ujaadne wale ko uski saja jarur milegi. Chacha sirf aapke liye he eham nahi the. Jaise aapne kaha ki unhe sabhi pyaar karte the toh akeli aap he dard me hai aisa soch kar aap baaki sabko kitna dukh de rahi hongi, ye sochna jaruri hai bua. Wo sabhi aapko bhi toh pyaar karte hai.", Arjun ne paani ki bottle se gilas me thoda paani daal kar Shalini ke mooh se lagaya toh phir se ashrudhara beh chali. Aatma-glani ke bhaav Arjun bhi samajh raha tha.
"Sab bhulana asaan nahi hai lekin jo aapke paas hai uski andekhi karna kahi jyada galat. Aap araam kijiye bua aur kabhi mujhe laga ki aap meri madad kar sakti hai toh main jarur aapke pas aaunga.", Arjun ne jaise unhe kamre se jaane ki hidayat he de di thi, aisa Shalini ko laga.
"Tum chaho toh saja de sakte ho mujhe, mujhse sachmuch badi galti hui hai.", Shalini rukna chahti thi aur khud he apni gustakhi par najre jhukaye thi. Hamesha sakht aavran me lipti rehne wali Shalini ka meljol sirf ghar ke bado tak simit tha. Bacho ke sath wo kuch hadd tak ghulmil jaati thi lekin aaj wo aasakt thi is ladke ke pas rehne ke liye. Wo chahti thi ki Arjun aaj bas unse baatein karta rahe aur har dukh-dard se vimukt kar de unki aatma ko jo jaane kitni he yaadon ki janjiro me jakdi hai. Lekin kya wo adhikar rakhti hai?
"Bua, main bilkul bhi gussa nahi hu. Aapki pratikriya swabhavik thi aur mujhe atcha laga ke aapne ye mujh par jaahir ki bajaye kisi apne ke. Shayad ye baat aapko dada ji ya Umed chacha ji se sunn ne ko milti toh aap chaah kar bhi react nahi kar sakti thi. Dono daadi toh shayad na ye jaan sakti thi aur naa aapko kehne ki himmat rakhti. Yahi log toh aapke kareeb hai na? Raat jyada ho gayi hai aur 3 ghante baad aapko uthna bhi padega. Araam kar lijiye, chahe toh is bister par bhi so sakti hai.", Arjun ne jab ye kaha ki Shalini ke liye wo uska apna nahi hai toh jaise ek pal me he uska bacha khucha dil bhi toote kaanch ki tarah bikhar gaya. Jab tak wo hosh sambhalti, kamre me koyi na dikha.
'Main usko apna nahi maanti? Nahi maanti toh main itni raat ko uske kareeb yaha kyu hoti?', Antarman ki awaaj sune bina he Shalini ne bheegi aankhon se apne aap se he sawaal kiya toh jawaab khud he mil gaya.
'Haan wo galat toh nahi keh raha tha. Mere liye toh wahi sab log apne rahe hai gujre hue baraso me. Maa, chacha ji, chaachi aur kahi kahi bhaiya. Lekin aaj main khud aayi toh thi chal kar iske pas.', Arjun ne thik waisi he chott Shalini ke eham par ki thi jaisi wo kitno ke sath karti rahi hogi. Sab usko dil se apna maante the lekin Shalini ki najro me toh uska dard samajhne wala koyi tha he nahi ghar ke bado ke siwa.
Ek najar ghadi ko dekhte hue wo uth khadi hui. Din badal chuka tha aur ghadi sava 12 dikha rahi thi. Har kadam farsh par rakhna aisa lag raha tha jaise wo tapti hui reit par chal rahi ho. Sabke liye Shalini laadli thi aur kisi ko ijajat nahi thi usko najarandaaj karne ki, beshak wo khud kar sakti thi aisa. Agle kamre me aate he waha bas chain se Anamika soyi dikhi. Arjun yaha bhi nahi tha aur na he Anamika ka beta Niketan.
"Ye shayad kapde geele hone ki wajah se uth gaya tha. Maine badal diye hai, saaf karne ke baad.", Shalini ko bache ki awaaj tak na sunaai di thi jaise Anamika ko. Lekin Arjun ke kaan inse alag the aur wo bina kisi ko pareshan kiye khud he bache ko chup karwa chuka tha. Anamika bhi unindi se uthne lagi toh Arjun ne bacha unki goad me rakh diya.
"Thank you Arjun, shayad aankh jyada gehri lagi thi.", Anamika jhemp rahi thi aur Arjun bhi samajh gaya tha ki ab bache ko stann-paan ki jarurat hai.
"Welcome chachi. Aap log araam kijiye, main bhi ab sone he laga hu. Uthan toh mujhe bhi padega sabke sath. Goodnight bua.", Is baar wo apne kamre me jalte lamp ko band karke gehre andhere me bister par pasar gaya. Shalini kisi ummeed se us dhake hue darwaje ko dekh rahi thi jaise Arjun bulaye aur wo fir se uske kareeb baith kar apne zinda hone ka ehsaas kare. Ab ye jaise mumkin na tha.
"didi aap abhi tak jaag rahi thi?", Anamika ne bache ko doodh pilate hue he poocha. Wo ab bete ke sath leti hui thi aur Shalini ko soch me dooba dekha unki tandra bhang ki. Shalini bhi naummeedi se bister par pasar gayi.
"Neend nahi aa rahi thi toh Arjun se baat karne lagi. Ab kuch der araam karna he behtar rahega Anamaika.", Shalini ne na chahte hue bhi aankhen moond li. Aaj toh neend aankhon se koso dur thi aur Arjun ne Shalini ke kharaab ravaiyye ki saja na dete hue bhi khud se dur karke saja de he di. Hatheli me abhi tak dard tha aur jab maarne wale ke hath me dard ho toh chott khaane wale par kya gujri hogi. Itna sochte he Shalini ki band aankhon se jhar jhar aansu tapakne lage. Jaane kitni der baad wo rote rote he thakaan se neend ke aagosh me gayi thi.
Gehan sannatte me jaane kis wajah se Shalini ek jhatke me uth kar bister par baith gayi. Aahat mann se dukhi ho kar wo ghanta bhar mushkil se soyi hogi aur kisi bure khwaab ko jaise uska sona bhi manjoor na hua. Chehre par aaya halka paseena hath se saaf karti hui wo badi saavdhani se uth khadi hui. Sharir me abhi tak halki kampkampi si thi.
Wo nange paanv he bina awaaj kiye us kamre me aa khadi hui jaha Arjun karwat liye so raha tha. Uska daaya gaal bister par tha aur jaha thappad laga tha wo upar. Dhadakte dil se Shalini uske kareeb aa baithi. Maddim roshni me beshak gaal pe chhapa wo panja saaf na dikha lekin hontho ki kinari ke beech jama gehra rang poori kahani bayaan kar gaya.
'Maaf kar de mujhe Arjun mujhe maaf kar de. Aaj maine apne pyaar ke naam par he hath utha kar bahot he jyada badi galti kar di. Main svaarthi hu jo kisi ki parwah nahi karti lekin tumne aaj mujhe meri sachaai dikh kar ehsaan kiya hai. Tum mere apne ho Arjun aur bahot badi bhool hui jo main pehle tumhare pas na aayi.', Aankhon se girta ek aansu thik us sookh chuke rakt par gira toh Shalini darr se peeche hone lagi.
"Ab so jao na bua. Aap meri apni ho aur koyi bhool nahi hui. Yahi sona hai toh yahi so jao.", Shalini jabtak kuch samajh paati ya jawaab deti Arjun ki baah uski kamar ko dabati hui bister par lita chuki thi. Arjun waise he gehri neend me tha aur chehre par koyi bhaav nahi. Shalini hairat se uske hath ke niche leti hui bas is shaant chehre ko dekh rahi thi.
'Ye sapna hai? Nahi main iske he bister par iske sath leti hu.', Aage wo kuch aur soch paati us se pehle he kamar se upar tiki kohni ne harkat ki. Arjun ki hatheli Shalini ke kaan se upari hisse ko thapakte jaise har soch nikalti hui uske antarmann ko shaant kar gayi. Gehhri neend me wo kisi masoom gudiya si Arjun ke aagosh me chain se so chuki thi. Ye purane Arjun ka ek behtar sanskaran tha jiski dor se Shalini khud bandh chuki thi.

Itni umar hone ke bawjood ye teeno malang bahar wale bathroom me ek sath he naha rahe the. Koyi balti udel raha tha aur koyi fuhare ke niche khada thande paani ka aanand lene me vyast tha. Narinder toh daatun (brush) karne ke sath he dusre hath se khud par paani udel raha tha is darwaja khule bathroom ke bheetar. Teeno samay bachane ke sath sath athkheliya bhi kar rahe the.
"Yar Gajju, wo bahar America me ek bade bathroom me 8-10 fuhare bhi lage hote hai. Ek aisa bathroom tu udhar haveli par banwa aur ek hum Delhi ke paas wali kothi me bhi banwayenge. Yaha toh mumkin nahi.", Shankar baalo me thoda teil lagane ke baad unhi hatho se sharir ki maalish karte hue chahat batane laga.
"Haan yar, udhar toh fir swimming pool bhi bade wala sahi rahega aur bahar nikalte he aadha darjan fuhare. Beer ki chuskiyan lete hue kabhi pool me toh kabhi fuharo ke niche.", Narinder ne brush ek taraf rakhte hue toliya lapet kar kacha badla aur bade bhai ki tarah baalo ke sath sharir ki thodi maalish ki.
"Main toh is se bhi aage soch kar baitha hu Inder. Swimming pool bhi sardi-garmi ke hisaab wala aur bathroom aise bade bade banwane hai jaha tv, bathtub bhi jet-pipe wala aur wahi ek maalish wali aadhunik table. Interior ki kitabe dekhi thi maine Bhole, Vinni padhti rehti hai na toh unme toh aisi duniya hai jo ek baar vishwas he na ho. Soch liya hai ke jo apna Delhi wala aashiyana banayenge waha sara kaam Vinni se karwana hai aur automatic gate se le kar parde bhi button se khulne wale.", Umed, Inder aur Shankar ko ye nahi maloom tha ke unke pita khamoshi se bahar he aangan me pipe laga kar naha rahe he.
"Oye shekhchili ki aulado, bhagwan ke darshan jaa rahe ho aur pehla naam beer ka uske baad duniya jahan ki araam-parasti. Bathroom se nikalne me kasht ho raha hai toh automatic danda bhijwau andar. Khote de puttar, saver hoyi ni te eh haje vi supne vikhi jaande hai. Gappi kise thaah de.", Andar teeno he ek dusre ko dekh mooh dabaye hansne lage aur toliya lapete chupchap baithak me nikal liye. 3 baje se 15 minute upar samay ho chuka tha aur Rameshwar bhi apne bacho ki baatein sunn kar ab hanste hue unke he bathroom me chale gaye, kapde badalne.
"Shalini ko utha diya kya Rekha bitiya?", Yaha toh Kaushalya ji naha kar paath bhi kar chuki thi aur ab apni dharam behan Purnima ke tayaar hone par Rekha se chai lete hue bister par baithi thi. Saree vyavasthit karti hui Purnima ji ne Rekha se apni beti ke liye poocha toh unhone gardan hila di.
"Ji maa ji main bhejti hu Tara ko. Wo bhi tayaar ho chuki hai.", Rekha ji itna bol kar wapis andar chali gayi jaha Maadhuri abhi bathroom se nikli thi aur Priyanka nahane chali gayi. Upar wale bathroom me toh jo bhi hota tha uska yaha kisi ko pata na tha.
"Tara, upar dekh jara teri Shalini mausi tayaar ho rahi hai ya abhi tak uthi nahi. Arjun ko sone dena agar nahi utha ho toh. Ghar se jaate samay utha denge usko.", Rekha ji ne itna kehne ke sath he chai ke kuch cup liye aur apne kamre me chal di. Waha Rajeshwari ji bhi tayaar ho rahi thi Lalita ji ke sath aur uske baad Krishna ji ko bhi uthana tha. Tara apne sath Vinni ko liye upar chal di.
"Kitna ajeeb lagta hai na yaar raat dhai baje uthna aur phir aise tayaar hona. Main toh car me bhi so jaungi agar sukoon mila toh.", Vinni nahane ke baad bhi kuch sust thi aur Tara uske sath hansti hui idhar hall kamre tak chali aayi.
"So jana didi. Waise aap itni raat tak Komal didi ke sath baatein karti rahogi toh neend ki kami toh hone he wali hai. Komal didi ko aadat hai is sabki lekin hum sabhi 10 baje se pehle so chuki thi. Aaisha abhi uthi hai aur main dekh kar hairaan hu ki uski neend doodh peene se khulti hai.", Andar aane par dono ke he ruk gayi. Bathroom khula tha aur bister par Anamika chachi apne bete ke sath soyi hui thi.
"Bua, toh yaha nahi dikh rahi.", Vinni ke aisa kehte he Tara kuch soch kar uska hath pakde seedha Arjun ke kamre me dakhil ho gayi. Ab Vinni ka mooh khula reh gaya aur Tara bas thoda hairaan thi kyonki darwaja khula tha jiska matlab kuch galat kaam toh nahi hua idhar.
Shalini bua is waqt Arjun ke seene par sar rakhe soyi thi aur Arjun bister par seedha pasra tha bua ko apne sath lagaye. Uska ek hath bua ke niche se hota hua kamar ko thaame tha.
"Shhhh.. Dekho apni bua ko Vinni didi. Isko kehte hai chintamukt neend aur sachmuch iski ummeed toh mujhe bhi nahi thi.", Ye baat kaan me fusfusate hue Tara ne kahi thi aur Vinni ka hath abhi bhi apne mooh par tha.
"Yaar, baat chintamukt ki nahi hai Tara. Arjun toh chal jaisa hai waisa he rahega lekin nighty ki halat toh dekh jara. Thodi si upar toh private part he dikhne lagenge.", Vinni ye keh rahi thi aur Tara kuch aur dekh kar muskura rahi thi. Vinni ne najro ka peecha kiya toh Arjun ka wo sakht aur bada ubhar Shalini ki jaangh ke niche aadha daba tha.
"Aap bahar jao didi, main uthati hu mausi ko. Shayad aapko dekh kar comfortable na lage unhe. Relax raho, bas so he rahi hai aur lagta hai jaise unhe aisi neend ki jarurat bhi thi.", Tara ne samajhdari dikhate hue Vinni ko bahar bheja aur aahista se nighty ko thoda niche karte hue ujli jaangho ko dhakk diya.
"Mausi, saadhe 3 ho rahe hai. Uth jaaiye sab intjaar kar rahe hai.", Tara ne halke se hilate hue aisa kaha tha. Shalini neend me he Arjun se thoda kass ke lipat gayi lekin phir kunmunate hue uthi thi dhyaan se har taraf dekhne lagi. Apni sthithi ka ehsaas hote he sakpakati hui wo khadi hone lagi thi aur is chakkar me kamar par rakha haath unke ek ubhaar se atche se ragad gaya.
"Haan main 10 minute me aati hu Tara. Wo udhar Anamaika ke bete ki wajah se neend nahi aayi thi toh idhar so gayi. Bathroom se tayaar ho kar bas main thodi der tak aati hu." Tara ne halki muskurahat se sar hilaya aur bahar nikal gayi. Bister par baith kar Shalini ne ek baar bahar najar ki jaha ab koi na tha aur phir Arjun ke chaude kasrati badan ko jaha ab tshirt nahi thi. Chehre ki masoomiyat aur sukoon se band wo lambi palko wali aankhen. Shalini ne muskurate hue jhuk kar uska gaal choom liya.
'Thank you so much. Jald milte hai.', Shalini ke khade hote he nighty ke andar se wo khuli hui bra farsh par giri. Ab muskurahat ke sath gheri sharam bhi chha chuki thi. Jaldi se bra ko hatheli me daboche wo bathroom me ja ghusi. Sharir par roye khade ho chuke the sab yaad karte he.

Ghar ke bahar 6 gaadiyan khadi thi is samay aur safari ke pichle hisse me samaan rakhne ke baad sabhi sadasya apni itcha anusaar andar baithne lage. Col sahab ki gaadi me Pandit ji ke sath Kaushalya ji, Purnima ji aur Madhuri ke sath aakhiri seat par Mukesh aur uski biwi Parvati the. Preeti ek dheel safed pajame aur dheeli si indradhunsh ki chhap wali tshirt pehne Ritu se dhimi awaaj me gutur-gu me vyast thi.
"Ye Arjun utha nahi abhi tak?", Narinder ji ne Cielo ka darwaja kholte hue ek najar ghar ke andar ki toh Sanjiv apne chhote bhai ko kuch samjhate hue bahar la raha tha. Arjun sabko najar-andaaj karta apne dada ke pas aa ruka.
"Aap naraaj toh nahi hai na bauji?", Gaadi me Pandit ji abhi baithe nahi the aur paute ki baat sunn kar gale lagate hue muskura diye.
"Main tere har fainsle par sirf khush he hota hu mere bache. Dil ki sunn ne wala kabhi galat nahi hota aur main bhi toh teri daadi ki wajah se ja raha hu kyonki majburi hai. hahaha. Chal apna khayaal rakhna aur kahi jana ho toh Kashyap ji ko bata dena.", Rameshwar ji ne sar sehlate hue kaha toh Arjun ne bhi khush ho kar unke liye darwaja khola.
"Chhote daadu, gaadi araam se chalana. Sabse jaruri log bas is gaadi me he hain.", Arjun ne aisa apni daadi ki taraf dekh kar hanste hue kaha tha.
"Haan bhai, thodi ghabrahat toh hai lekin bhai sahab jitni nahi. Dono ghar ka khayaal rakhna peeche se. Preeti 7 baje Manju ke ghar jaayegi toh ho sake toh chhod aana.", Col Sahab bhi steering ke peech aa baithe toh sabse pehle inki he gaadi aage badhi. Dekhte he dekhte baaki sabhi car idhar se apne gantavya ki taraf badhne lagi aur aakhiri wali ko le jaane se pehle Umed ji ne ruk kar Arjun ko kareeb bulaya.
"Koyi shaitaani nahi aur sirf ghar pe."
"Aapko kya lagta hai chacha ji main ghar se kahi dur jaunga. Nischint rahiye aur araam se jaaye."
"Haan pata hai mujhe ki aajkal mera beta kaha tak pahuch raha hai. Lekin aaj akele ho toh kuch bhi aisa waisa nahi."
"Shaadi tak is ghar ki hadd me rahunga.", ye baat Arjun ne badi dhimi awaaj me kahi thi aur pichli seat se dekhti Shalini par najar padi toh wo dusri taraf dekhne lagi.
"Jaanta hu main aur main hamesha tumhare sath hu Arjun. Chalo shaam ko milte hai.", Umed ne gaadi chalu ki toh Arjun ne baaki sabki taraf bhi bye ka ishara kiya, khaas kar Shalini bua ko. Iske sath he ab yaha ek taraf Arjun aur kuch kadam peeche Preeti khadi thi bas.
"Ghar badal liya jaaye darling?", Arjun ki aisi baat sunn kar Preeti kisi navbyahta ki tarah sharma rahi thi lekin Arjun ke ghar ke gate ko pakadti bas itna bol gayi.
"Sab meri almari me hai aur ek packet fridge me.", Preeti darwaja band karti andar daud gayi jaise waha uska khajana pada ho aur Arjun muskurata hua Preeti ke ghar.

Manju aur Menaka ko car me baithane ke sath he Sanjiv ki car bhi raftaar pakadti hui baaki kaafile ke peeche nikal chali. Is car me agli seat par Alka aur pichli par Ritu thi. Wahi inse aage daud rahi Safari ka steering Narinder ji ne bakhubi thaam rakha tha is halke andhere aur khaali sadak par. Aarti apni pita ki bagal me thi aur pichli seat par Krishna, Rekha aur Romela ki tikdi. Aakhiri hisse me dher sara samaan tha jo daan-dakshina me prayog hona tha.
Lekin mahol alag he bann gaya jab shehar se bahar intjaar karti badi mercedes inke sath chal di. Waha Paramvir Sangwan ne jaise Shankar ko dipper se kuch ishara kiya toh cielo ne turant he kataar todd kar aage chal rahi Umed ki car ke baad Col sahab ki sierra ko bhi pachhaad diya. Dono car ab sarpat daud rahi thi is kahmosh highway par aur apne papa ki bagal me baithi Rupali josh se bhar uthi.
"Papa, hum he aage rahenge aap aur tej bhagao.", Rupali ne jaise uttejjana me papa kaha toh Shankar ji ki car 180 paar karti hui sadak se aur chipak kar fisalne lagi thi. Peeche baithi Renuka ki toh saansein he atak gayi lekin Komal ne hath par hath rakhte hue unhe sehaj rehne ka ishara diya. Anamika bhi chintit thi lekin wo ek baar pehle bhi apne jeth ji ki driving dekh chuki thi.
"Beta, wo car khud dhire karenge dekhti raho. Usko bhi pata hai ke steering par kaun sawaar hai.", Yaha ek minute me 3 kilometer paar karti ye car sachmuch Chhote Sangwan ki aukaat se bahar ho gayi thi pakadni. Abhi inka ye sab chal he raha tha aur saayen se Umed is car ko piche chhodta 200 paar karta aage nikal chala. Shankar ji ki car is se adhik nahi jaa sakti thi aur kuch soch kar wo ab kaayde se 100 par aa chuke the.
"Papa. Wo toh race me the he nahi.", Jaise he Rupali ne ye kaha toh Shankar ji muskura diye.
"Beta tumhare chacha ji ka matlab hai main akela nahi hu aur ye race lagana thik nahi. Lekin jald he tumhe sath le chalunga aur phir hum tumhare Param chacha ke sath Delhi tak ki race lagayenge.", Rupali ne bhi gor kiya toh Umed wali gaadi bhi ab inki raftaar par he sahi line me aage chal rahi thi.
"Thik hai lekin aap waisi gaadi kyu nahi lete?", Rupali ke sawaal me kuch alag chahat nahi thi bas wo apne baap wali car ki seema samajhte hue aisa boli thi.
"Meri beti jis din college jayegi toh us se bhi atchi car me khud jayegi. Meri toh umar ho chuki ab aur ghar me pehle he itni gaadi hai. Lekin tumhare liye main sabse atchi car lunga.", Komal bhi apne pita ki baat sunn kar muskura rahi thi aur Renuka ko bhi atcha lag raha tha ke unka ye bhai dil ka kitna atcha hai. Thoda gussel aur ziddi hai lekin apno ke sath nahi.
"Shankar bhaiya, Rajkumar bhaiya ki car najar nahi aayi. Wo hamare sath he chale the na?", Renuka ne baat ka rukh ghumaya toh pichle shishe me dekhte hue Shankar ji ne jawaab diya.
"Renu, Raju bhai tumhari Saroj bhabhi aur Daleep bhaiya ko le kar wahi pahuchenge badi gaadi se.", Daleep ne bhi nayi safaari li thi kuch din pehle.
"Papa, iska matlab waha naani ji bhi aayenge kya?", Komal ke is sawaal par Shankar ji ne haami bhari.
"Haan lekin sirf tumhare nana ji aur naani aayenge Rajesh aur Mamta ke sath. Baaki jaane par he pata chalega beta.", Is tarah ki baatein yaha chal rahi thi wahi Narinder ji ki gaadi me poora hansi majaak ho raha tha. Wo baaton baaton me apni Rekha bhabhi ke sath sath Romela ko bhi lapet lete aur kahi Krishna ji ke sath Romela narinder ji ko. Shaant samay aur hansi thitholi se ye safar majedar he jaa raha tha.

Dheemi awaaj me chalta 'pal pal dil ke pas, tum rehti ho' aur is bade kamre me faili behtareen mehak, jo khaas agarabattiyo se aa rahi thi bina dhuyen ke. Ujli safed reasmi chaadar aur 20 taapmaan par chalta AC kamre ko bharpoor thandak pradaan kar rahe the.
Vishaal bathroom ke bheetar ka najara bhi kuch alag na tha jaha chamchamate bathtub me gulaab aur mogre ki bahutayat thi. Itni savere ghar me jaha purn andhkaar tha bas yahi bathroom laal-neeli mombattiyo ke prakaash se jagmag tha. Bas ye jagah Preeti ka kamra na tha aur saari tayaariya poori karne ke baad Arjun araam se Preeti ke bister par pasar gaya.
"Uthne ke baad phir se sone ka irada tha toh pehle he bata dete.", Preeti jab kamre me daakhil hui toh wo pehle wale libaas me he thi lekin chehre aur nirvastra baahen darpan si chamakti dusre ghar me ki gayi mehnat bayaan karne ke liye bahot thi.
"Ye dress pehan kar bahar hall me milna jara.", Arjun furti se uth kar Preeti ke saamne aa khada hua. Bister par ek taraf wo jheeni safed poshak ki taraf ishara karta wo bahar jaane laga lekin phir ruk kar bola.
"Sirf wahi dress aur kuch bhi nahi jaan... umaahhh.", Ek halka sa chumban Preeti ke larajte hontho par karta wo kamre se bahar nikal gaya darwaja band karta hua. Preeti kuch hairaan thi aur usko kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha ke Arjun kar kya raha hai. Chalti hui wo is poshaak tak aayi toh muskura uthi. Lagbhag paardarshi aur kandhe se patli pattiyon wali ye nighty jaisi dress kahi uttejjak thi. Ek pal ke liye toh dil me alag si tarang uthne lagi isko bina adhovastro ke pehan ne ki kalpana maatra se.
'Bachu, aaj tumhara subah hai toh khel tumhara. Dopehar meri hai bas ye yaad rakhna. Chalo ab main bhi dekhti hu apne khel me kitna tikte ho.', Dress uthate he uske niche rakhi dibbi najar aayi jispar likha tha, 'your eyes are my ocean, as mine are your earth'. Dibbi ke andar chaandi si chamakdar lekin alag dhatu ki ye patli chain ke beech dil ka locket tha, aadha bhoora aur aadha neela.
'Umm .. i love you..", Usko choomte hue Preeti ne ek pal me he apne dono vastra tyaag diye. Nahane ki hidayat nahi thi aur sirf wo safed ghutno tak ki lambai wali poshak pehan kar Preeti ne necklace mutthi me band kar liya. Aaine me khud ko dekhte he sharam se gulabi chehra ab laal he hone laga tha. Ye poshaak uske khade teekhe chuchak saaf dikha rahi thi. Jaise taise dhadkan sambhalti hui wo bahar nikli toh table par rakhi wo gulabi wine ki bottle sabse pehle najar aayi.
'le chalo mujhe apni maa ke kamre me', Ab ye kya hai? Ye jaanchne ke liye ki kya sachmuch ye wo cheej hai jo Preeti soch rahi thi, usne atche se nirikshan kiya. Alcohal content 5% dekh ek gehri saans leti wo apni maa ke kamre ka darwaja khol andar daakhil hui toh safed reshmi chaadar par laal saree, bra, panty aur blouse ke sath waisa he nirdesh mila.
'After bath.', Matlab saaf tha ki Arjun bathroom me hai lekin kamre ki ye uttejjak mehak aur itni gehri shanti me bajta sangit sunn kar Preeti ke roye khade hone lage agle jhatke ki kalpana maatra se. Lekin wo bathroom ki taraf badhti us se pehle he is atyadhik thande kamre me Arjun dabe paanv peeche se aaya aur usko dono baahon me utha liya. Bottle kass ke pakadti Preeti apni neeli-hari aankhen badi badi karti usko hairat se dekh rahi thi. Arjun ke sharir par bas ek jheeni si nikkar matra thi.
"I love you more than my life. Ye din hamare aane wale vaivaahik dino ke jhalak bhar hai. Umaahhh....", Is baar wala chuban kahi gehra tha aur Preeti ke tarashe hue sudol lamabe badan ko baahon me uthaye Arjun is bade bathroom me chala aaya. Ek taraf wo paani se aadha bhara bada bathtub, kareeb he stool par rakhe kate hue naarangi, dipit mombattiya aur mishrit itra ki uttejjak mehak.
"Tum zindagibhar aise he surprise dete rahoge?",Preeti duniya ki sabse araamdayak jagah par nishchint thi. Ye pyaar barso ka tha lekin aaj Arjun ne usko purn karne ka nirnaya le liya tha.
"Nahi, tumhari har subah meri baahon me hogi bas itna keh sakta hu.", Chalte hue Arjun ne ek kadam tub me rakha aur bade araam se Preeti ka sharir is tarah rakha ke chehra sar tikane ki jagah paani se bahar rahe. Ek pal ko toh thandak se Preeti ki saans he rukne lagi aur dusre he pal bagal me aate Arjun ne usko apne upar lita liya.
"Aahhhh.. tum thande paani ka torcher de rahe ho.", Preeti ne bheege chehre ko Arjun ke upar karte hue kutil muskaan se kaha.
"Jara khud ko dekho na Preeti.", Waise he muskaan Arjun ke chehe par dekh Preeti ne apne seene ki taraf dekha toh wo lagbhag nirvastra thi. Dono sudol ubhar thande paani ki wajah se kahi sakht ho chuke the aur kapda bheegne se unka purn avlokan ho raha tha.
"Bade gande ho tum, sachmuhc. Dimaag kaha kaha chalate ho. Jaante ho tumhare sath mujhe iski bhi jarurat nahi waise.", Arjun ke chehre par lagi ek gulab ki patti hontho se uthate hue wo badi maadakta se boli. Wo gulab jald he ek gehre chumban ke beech kuchal kar gayab ho gaya.
"Ye mutthi kyu band hai?", Arjun ke kehte he Preeti ne hatheli saaamne kar di. Karwat leti wo tub ke bheetar he Arjun ke seene par peeth karti leit si gayi. Drishya itna maadak tha jaise sachmuch Yunaan ki koyi devi apni atulniya premi par leti ho. Dono ke bejod jism paani ke bheetar spasht the. Apne hatho se he Preeti ke gale me locket pehnate hue Arjun peeche se uski gardan choomne laga. Aaj us kathor ang ne Preeti ko vasna se nahi dekha tha.
"Aahhh.. Kitna khaas hota hai na ye ehsaas Arjun? Tumhare sath jaise meri duniya poori ho jaati hai. Aahhh.. kya kar rahe ho?", Preeti uski baahon me kasmasa rahi thi aur jald he usko apne kathor chucho par narangi se tapakte rass ka ehsaas hua aur un tukdo ko tub me girate hue Arjun ke hatho ne dono ubhar daboch liye.
"Dream-drop. Greek culture hai na Preeti? Paani me phal, wine, phool aur oils. Meri khwahish tumse judi har cheej hai. Sampoorn hona hai toh phir dono ki sabhyata aur shaili ke samavesh se kyu nahi? Waise bhi tumhe pyaar karne ke har bahane sakaar karne ko tayaar hu main.. Aaj kuch jyada he naram ho tum.", Arjun kehne ke sath sath Preeti ke kandhe choomta hua ek hath se kati-pradesh tak sehlane laga. Uttejjana me Preeti ne kamar uchkate hue us khaas ubhaar ke upar apne thos nitambh tikaye toh ab siskari Arjun ke mooh se nikli.
"Let's see who is more into teasing.. umaahh.. Tum karo Greek aur main dikhati hu Indian style.", Arjun kuch kehta us se pehle he Preeti ne kass ke uske dono hontho ko daanto me daboch liya. Lambe chumban ka antt bahar baj rahi ghanti se hua.
"Sala ab kaun dushman aa gaya? Main nahi hilne wali.", Preeti ke mooh se saala sunn kar Arjun muskura diya. Lekin usko pata tha ye ghanti kisne bajayi hogi.
"Main dekhta hu, tum yahi ruko."
