Update 62
Besabar (1)
Swati pehle ki tarah he nischint soi hui thi, jaise Arjun usko chodd kar gaya tha. Abhi raat ke is aakhiri pehar woh kamre me aaya aur darwaje ko araam se lagate hue bister par aa leta. Swati ke hath ke neeche se takiya nikal kar apne se chipkate hue usne bhi aankhen band kar li thi. Swati is garmahat se khud bhi Arjun ke chaude seene me dhans gai lekin purvavat he neend me rahi.
'Jab saamne aise sawaal aa khade ho jinke jawaab vichlit kare ya woh anaitik lage toh sach/jhooth par vichar karne ki jagah sawaal ke garbh ko tatolna chahiye. Sawaal he jawaab hota hai lekin hamara hoshiyar dimag isko padhne ki bajaye vivek par haavi ho kar naye jawaab dhoondne me lag jata hai. Bas sawaal ke sath bane rehne se wohi tumhe uske jawaab tak le jata hai. Mandbuddhi bane rehkar bhi halaat padhe ja sakte hai.', Aacharya ji ki ye baat yaad karte hue Arjun ek muskaan liye neend me jaa chuka tha. Ghar me raat ke is pehar ab sirf shaanti he pasri thi jisme kahi kahi Tiger ke bhonkne ki awaaj aa jaati thi jo shayad ab bahar wale aangan me sachet tha.
.
.
"Aaj ka kya vichar hai bitiya?", Kundanlal ji subah 6 baje ghar ke pichle aangan me apni beti Rekha, badi bhabhi Anjana aur patni Sunanda ji ke sath baithe the. Sair, nahane-dhone aadi se faarig hone ke baad yaha chai ka karyakram chal raha tha. Ghar ke bache sabhi soye hue the ya agar jaag bhi rahe the toh apne kamro me he the.
"Papa, kuch pata nahi abhi toh. Bache toh sabhi keh rahe the abhyaranya aur mehal dekhne ke liye lekin aaj kuch mehmaan bhi aane hai ghar par.", Rekha ji bhi naha dho kar ek saada salwar-kameej pehne apni taaiji ke sannidhya me baithi thi. "Upar se agar main bacho ke sath gai toh fir Manoj ya Kailash ko kaam se chutti karni padegi. Kyonki bache toh motorcycle scooty par jaa sakte hai lekin agar hum bhi jaayenge toh gaadi ke sath kisi ko toh chalna he padega.", Rekha ji ne apni baat rakhte hue ek baar apni bhabhi Mamta ki taraf bhi dekha, jo tulsi me paani dene ke baad unhe dekh kar muskura rahi thi.
"Gaadi toh Pooja aur Mamta bitiya bhi le ja sakti hai. Kal shayad mujhe Arjun ko apne sath le jana pade aur rishteydaro se tum dopahar baad bhi mil he sakte ho. Aur waise agar tumhe kisi purush sadasya ko sath he lekar jaana hai toh fir mai keh deta hu Manoj ko, Kailash toh khet chala gaya Manohar ko lekar.", Kundanlal ji ki baat par Sundanda ji ne bhi sehmati jata di. Idhar Sohanlal ji bhi fakk safed kurta pajama pehan kar aa baithe araam-kursi par sabhi ke pas.
"haan toh harj he kya hai jaane me. Chota sa hamara shehar hai aur log bhi bhale hai. Pooja le jayegi tum sabhi ko aur bache agar apne se jana chahe toh woh chale jaayenge. Aur Kundan, bhai chalo jaldi jara aaj kaam bhi hai waha.", Sohanlal ji ne bhi khuli ijajatt de di thi aur ab apne chote bhai ke chalne ki pratiksha kar rahe the.
"Pooja bitiya, bache uth gaye kya? Ek ghante tak sabhi nikal jaoge toh dopahri se pehle araam se wapis aa sakte ho.", Kundan ji ne apni badi bahu ko awaa dete hue kaha.
"Ji papa. Swati aur Kanchan tayaar ho rahi hai aur Somya rasoi me Anita ke sath kaam dekh rahi hai. Arjun bhi kasrat se faarig hone he wala hoga.", Chamde ka ek bag laakar apne sasur ji ko pakdati Pooja ji ne sabhi bacho ke bare bata dia tha. Kundanlal ji Arjun ki kasrat ki baat sunkar apni beti ki taraf dekhne lage.
"Ye idhar aane ke baad bhi apni kasrat nahi bhoola kya?", Halke hairaan se hote woh kehne lage.
"Bittu bhaiya ne store me machine laga rakhi hai toh usne dekh lia. Bahar ka jyada pata nahi hai toh fir thoda bahot vyayaam yahi kar raha hai woh. Aur uski dincharya ke baare me bas itna pata hai ke woh iske liye thoda sakht he hai papa.", Rekha ji ne uthte hue kaha aur fir apne pita aur taauji se baat karti hui woh bhi bahar aangan ki taraf chal di. Aaj ek he caar me Manoj, Sohanlal ji aur Kundan ji chale gaye the. Ek car khet ja chuki thi aur 2 yaha abhi aangan me khadi thi.
"Prakash bhaiya, jara ye wali gaadi dho dijiyega. Bahar lekar jaani hai kuch he der me.", Rekha ji ne gate par khade Prakash ko samjhaya aur fir Tiger ko apne sath he waha se ghar ke andar lekar chali aai.

Renuka safed saree me lipti Major Kaushal ke shav ke pas baith ashrudhara baha rahi thi jahan pariwar ke sabhi log aur unke pita Col Satish ji ke sath he Rameshwar ji aur Kaushalya ji bhi the. Aaj subah 5 baje he unka shav taboot me Delhi se idhar unke ghar pahucha tha. Sabhi gamgeen the lekin Kaushal ji ke maa ka bura haal tha. Naksaliyo ke sath muthbhed me unka beta aur ek sehkarmi shaeed hue the. Kaushalya ji unhe hausla de rahi thi aur baaki sabhi log bhi parthiv sharir ke darshan karte hue aatma ki shaanti ki dua karte hue pariwar se mil rahe the.
Abhimanyu toh jaise yaha bhi shayad Renuka ka haal dekhne he aaya tha. Lekin fir bhi khud ko durust rakhte hue woh ghar ke kaam karwata apni he jugat me laga raha. Mahol shayad thik nahi tha isliye he woh aisa dikhava kar raha tha lekin andar he andar ab usko khushi thi ki Renuka ka suhaag jawani me he uska sath chodd gaya hai aur akeli vidhwa ladki se kamjor shikar shayad he uske liye koi ho. Bas us Arjun naam ko shakhs ko dur rakhna tha Renuka se. Agle 4 din toh kam se kam ab Renuka uski aankhon ke saamne rehne wali hai, koi tarkib toh woh chala he lega.
Jo baat sirf dono pariwar ko he pata thi woh shayad Abhimanyu ya kisi aur ko bilkul ilm na tha ke Renuka aur Kaushal ke rishtey ko khatam karne ka fainsla pehle he lia ja chuka tha. Bas un dono ke vivah ka gavaah unka beta ab apne dada-daadi ke pas rehne wala tha aur Renuka bhi idhar sirf antim-sanskaar tak he thi.

***** gaanv me bhi aisa he drishya tha jaha Meghna Singh ke haatho se chuddiyaan nadarad thi, maang khaali aur sharir par safed vastra the. Poora gaanv aur rishteydar ekatrait the inke ghar jaha Leuitnant Singh ka shav safed kapde me lipta aakhiri darshan ke liye rakha hua tha. Fauj ke he kuch adhikari aur sainik bhi idhar upasthith the antim-sanskaar ke liye.
Dono ki koi aulaad na thi toh sabhi kartvya ghar ka chota beta nibha raha tha. Menaka ki shaadi jo 5 saal bhi na chali thi aaj uski khushiyo ko bhi grahan lag chuka tha lekin gaanv me shaheed ki ijajjat sabse jyada he rehti hai toh gamgeen hone ke sath he sabhi ko is shaheed par naaj bhi tha. Gammo ke baadal chattne me shayad abhi samay lagega lekin ek behtar kal bhi shayad bure waqt ke baad he aata hai.

"Main tere sath chalungi aur baaki jisko jaise jana ho ja sakta hai.", Swati nashta karti hui bhi Arjun ke bagal me he thi. Sabhi tayar ho chuke the jaane ke liye siwaye Sangita ji ke, jo paanv me moch ka bahana kiye apne chudaai ka dard aur maja leti kamre me padi thi.
"Lekin main kyo nahi jaa sakti Arjun ke sath? Tu toh waise bhi kal gai he thi market.", Kanchan bhi mooh banate hue Swati ke sath jidd lagaye baithi thi. Arjun apna khana khaate hue is nok-jhok ke maje lene me laga tha.
"Car me 4 log jaayenge. Maa, Chachi, bua, Choti Chachi. Toh scooty bhi leke jaani padegi aur uspar tum dono jaogi. Arjun ke sath main jaa rahi hu.", Somya ki baat par ab dono ladkiya khamoshi se ek dusre ko dekh rahi thi. Aur unhe bhi pata tha ke didi ne jo kaha hai wahi hoga. Somya apne kamre ki aur chal di kuch samaan lene aur idhar in dono ki khusur-phusur fir shuru ho gai.
"Jaate time tu aa jati aur abhi main chali jaati. Lekin nahi tujhe toh kabada he karna hota hai jor-jor se bolkar. Ab kar mehnat mere sath he.", Swati ki is baat par Kanchan najre jhukaye chupchap paani peene lagi.
Sabhi log tayaar ho chuke the aur jyada chalna firna hona he tha isliye sabhi salwar-kameej aur dupatte liye he thi. Swati aur Kanchan ne jeans-tshirt pehna tha aur waise he chust kapdo me Arjun tha. Neeli jeans aur halke peele rang ki woh dheeli si tshirt bhi Arjun ki baaju aur chaude seene par atche se kasi hui thi. Waisa he najara Rekha ji ke sharir par tha. Cotton ka woh halke rang ka suit jispar kaale aur laal print the, unke sharir ka har bhugol atche se dikha raha tha. Bhaari seena, sapat peit aur gudaaj nitambh. Kamar par se suit dheela hone ke bawjood pichwada ubhar kar dikh he raha tha. Unke baad agar kisi ka sharir thoda bahut unke aas-pas tha toh woh Mamta ji he thi aur kuch unki he tarah thi Pooja ji. Halke gulabi-safed suit me Mamta ka sondarya bhi atche se najar aa raha tha wahi Pooja ji toh waise he pratishthit aur aadhunik ghar me badi hui thi, unke kameej ki fitting aur gale ka kataav bahot tha kisi ka bhi dil ghayal karne ke liye.
Khaane-Peene ka halka fulka samaan gaadi ki dikki me rakhwane ke baad jaise taye hua tha sabhi usi kram me nikal chale ghar se. Car ke sath he Swati-Kanchan scooty par nikal liye, rasta toh sabhi ko pata tha Arjun ko choddkar lekin uske sath bhi Somya didi jaa rahi thi toh sabhi ne pehle vann dekhne ka he vichaar banaya tha. Thodi dhoop ke baad woh log araam se Quila-Mehal dekh sakte the. Idhar Arjun ki najar jab bahar aangan me aati Somya didi par gai toh ek pal toh woh bhi bas unhe he dekhta reh gaya. Surkh jaamuni rang ke tang kameej ke niche safed patiala salwar me woh gulabi chehre wali ladki aur din se jyada he aakarshak lag rahi thi. Kamar ke beech tak aate unke ghane baal bas ek dheele se safed kapde ke rubber me qaid the, jo is khubsurti ko yakayak aur badha de rahe the.
"Hero, dekhte he rahoge ya yaha se chaloge bhi? Sabhi nikal liye hai aur bas hum dono he hai idhar.", Arjun unki baat sunkar jhempta hua motorocycle par kick lagane laga. Somya apni aankhon par ek kala chasma lagati muskura rahi thi Arjun ke hav-bhav dekhti. Arjun jaisa gabru jawan bhi apni is behan ko dekh mohit ho gaya tha aur Somya ko is baat se khushi bhi thi ki uska yu sajna kaam aa he gaya.
"Yaha se kitna dur hai didi ye abhyaranya?", Arjun mukhya sadak par aane ke baad pooch raha tha. Somya uske sath judd kar baithi bas idhar udhar najar dauda rahi thi. Subah ke sadhe 7 baje the aur mausam bhi behtar he tha.
"Bas yaha ye seedhi sadak par 5-6 kilometer ke baad ek right aur hum pahuch jaayenge. Waise teri ye motorcycle hai badhiya. Mujhe toh pehle iska shor ajeeb lag raha tha lekin ye chalti kaafi atchi hai.", Raasta samjhati woh khud he Arjun se aakarshit ho chuki thi lekin dhyaan hatane ke liye woh aisa keh rahi thi. Somya se chupa na tha Sangita chachi ka kissa. Anita chachi ne bina kahani sunaye bata dia tha ke Arjun ne unke sath raat me kar lia hai aur didi khush hai. Somya pehle hairaan thi ki Arjun itni kam umar me kaise ek bhari-puri aurat ko bister par bitha aaya lekin dil me ek romanch toh bhar he gaya tha apni choti chachi jo saheli bhi thi unki baaton se.
"Waise aapka shehar hai bada shaant aur hara-bhara. Hamare shehar me toh sirf thoda bahot he aisa hoga nahi toh market ya college ki taraf bharpoor bheed he milti hai.", Arjun ko bhi yaha atcha lag raha tha. Peeche baithi Somya ke ubhaar bekhyaali se uski peeth se halke halke takra rahe the. Jawaan ladki thi woh aur aise sparsh se mann me gudgudi hona bhi swabhavi he tha. Arjun ne jab unka woh muskurata chehra aur kala chasma dekha toh kuch pal woh yunhi unhe dekhne laga tha. Surkh laal honth, gora rang, kala chasma.. Kisi khoobsurat abhinetri si jaan padti thi. Somya ne bhi is chuppi ko samajhte hue jab dhyaan dia toh Arjun ko aise khud ko niharte dekh bas sharmati si uski peeth se lagte hue mooh chupa kar baith gai.
"Seedhe sadak par dekho. Aise kahi motorcycle mat bhida dena.", Hansti hui woh itna bolkar khud par he itra rahi thi. Arjun ko bhi pata tha ke uski harkat didi ne dekh li hai.
"Waise aaj he pata laga ke aap kitni atchi dikhti ho. Itne dhyaan se pehle nahi dekha tha isliye keh raha hu.", Arjun ne bhi tarif ke sath he safaai dete hue kaha. Ab woh vann ki taraf jaati us sunsaan sadak par mudd chuke the. Yaha dono he taraf ghane pedd lage the aur peeche bhi thoda jungle sa he the. 12-13 feet chaudi is sadak par filhaal toh unhe koi najar nahi aa raha tha aur jaha tak baaki pariwar ka sawaal tha woh waise bhi unse kahi aage the aur shayad pahuch bhi chuke the. Ye 30 ki raftaar se safar ka aanand uthate chal rahe the.
"Kyon, kal nahi dekha tha kya din me? Waisi he hu aaj bhi bas ye chasma laga lia hai kyonki aankhen thodi sensitive hai.", Somya ko bhi maja aa raha tha aise Arjun ke halke shabdo me tarif sun-na aur uska hichkichana.
"Dhyaan se nahi dekha tha na. Waise bhi kal kaha aapse dhang se baat ho pai thi. Waise aap hamare he udhar ho na college me? Aapka college kidhar hai?", Arjun ne baat ka rukh ghumate hue kaha.
"DAV college hai hamara, waha university road par. Kabhi time lage toh aana college ke baad. Sarkari quarter police line me hai college se 3 kilometer dur he. Kaam kuch hota nahi hai udhar toh agar tum aaoge toh atcha lagega, khali samay me.", Arjun samajh gaya tha ke ghar aur college kidhar padte hai. Kuch idhar udhar ke baatein karte dono he apni dil ki baatein na kehte hue agle 10 minute me he dono apne gantavya par aa pahuche the. Gaadiyon ke liye alag se banaye is saaf maidaan me motrocycle khada karte hue Arjun wapis wahi aa gaya jaha uski maa aur maamiya pehle se ticket liye unhi ka intjar kar rahi thi.
"Chalo ab andar chalte hai. 11-sadhe 11 tak yaha se chal padenge fir Quile ki taraf.", Pooja maami ke itna kehte he sabhi kataar se pravesh dwar se hote hue andar chal diye. Ek bujurg sa vyakti ticket check karne ke baad unhe aage ka thoda rasta samjhane laga. Patharr ki bani andar ki sadak koi 8-10 feet chaudi thi aur 2 taraf ko jaati thi. Shuru ke idhar wale hisse me ek pani ki choti jheel jisme paanv se chalane wali nauka thi, ka lutf 1-2 log le rahe the aur 5-6 nauka jo rang-birangi thi kinare par khadi thi. Har taraf chetwani ya niyam ke nishaan bane the. Kuch duri par ek restra bhi tha khuli hari bhari jagah me lekin ikka-dukka he log dikh rahe the.
"Main toh boating karungi aur uske baad jeep se he chakkar laga lungi jitna dil chahega.", Anita maami ki aisi baat par Arjun ke sath he baaki sab bhi hans diye. Wo kisi bachi ki tarah un naukao ko dekh rahi thi. Lekin unhe bhi yaha sath mil gaya tha Kanchan aur Mamta ji ka. Aur na chahte hue bhi Swati ko unke sath jana pada kyonki ek nauka me 2 log he baith sakte the.
"Tu chal legi na Somya beti?", Pooja ne apni beti se paidal aage chalne ke liye poocha. Aage rasta thoda dur bhi tha toh unhe fikar thi ki Somya itna chal sakegi ya nahi.
"Maa, main pehli bhi aai hu na. Woh alag baat hai ke kabhi jyada bheetar nahi gaye lekin agar thakaan hui bhi toh chachi ke sath he jeep se wapis aa jayenge.", Rekha ji bhi muskurati hui uske jawaab se santusht thi. Arjun in teeno ke sath he aage badh chala. Pooja maami purse se Kodak ka film wala camera nikalti usme cell dekh rahi thi. Unhone 4 cell atirikt bhi liye the apne sath aur Arjun unhe ye karta dekh raha tha.
"Maami, aapko lagta hai tasveer kheenchne ka atcha shauk hai?", Paani ki bottle hath me liye chalta woh bhi sab taraf dekh raha tha. Yaha aage kuch alag mahol tha. Lohe ki sadharan taaro se takriban 2 meter unchi jaali si diwar bani thi is taraf sadak ke dono aur.
"Yaadein reh jaati hai toh mujhe atcha lagta hai unhe sambhal kar rakhna.", Pooja maami ki muskaan bhi kisi khile gulaab si he thi. 2 bacho ke bawjood woh aaj tak apna sharir barkarar kiye thi. Chaal me chapalta aur chehre par chamak.
"Arjun woh dekh", Apni maa ki awaaj sunkar Arjun ne apni nigahe bataai disha me lagai toh koi 5-7 hiran ek jhund me masti karte dikhe. Bhure rang ke unke sharir par woh safed bindiya aur chote sing. Bade he furtile aur aakarshak jeev lage Arjun ko. Taar par ungliya tikaaye woh unhe nihaarne laga sath he uske ek taraf uski maa aur dusri taraf Somya bhi ye drishya dekh rahi thi. Ek chota hiran kulanche maarta unse thodi he duri se nikla aur uske he peeche baaki sabhi. Arjun ne pehle kabhi aisa drishya nahi dekha tha. Ye jeev apne sharir se 3-4 guna jyada lambi chaalang lagate unki aankho se aujhal ho gaye the.
"Sach me maa. Ye bade he pyaare hai aur kitne tej bhi.", Arjun waha se najara hatate hue fir se sabhi ke sath aage badhne laga.
"Maine tere liye unki photo utaar li hai.", Pooja maami ne muskurate hue Arjun ka hath pakad kar aage chalte hue kaha. Rekha ji aur Somya abhi tak bade dhyaan se dono taraf dekhte chal rahe the. Baatein karte aur prakriti ka aanand lete hue woh log ab us jagah the jaha ek taraf paani ke talaab the aur dusri taraf jungle. Beech me wahi thandi sadak.
Paani ke talaab me kuch batkhe teir rahi thi aur koi 100 gaj dur lambe seeng wala ek kale rang ka hiran paani peene laga hua tha. Pooja maami ne ehtiyaat se jaali ke us khaali baag par camera rakhte hue usko 2-3 tasveer utaar li. Arjun bade dhyaan se dekh raha tha ke ye hiran unse bilkul bhi darr nahi raha tha. Kuch der unhe dekhe ke baad woh araame se gehre jungle ki aur chala gaya.
"Inko ab aadat ho gai hai insaano ko dekhne ki. Jo bade hiran hai woh jyada darte nahi ab.", Pooja maami ye bata rahi thi aur Somya sadak kinare bane bench par baithi dusri taraf kuch dhyaan se dekh rahi thi. Ab Arjun ne bhi uska anusaran kia toh woh muskura utha. 2 chote hiran ek dusre ke sath he khel me lage hue the. Kisi spring ki tarah idhar udhar fudakte hue woh masti karne me lage the aur unhe dekh kar ab Arjun aur Somya maje kar rahe the.
"maa, aap toh keh rahi thi ke yaha jaanwar khule me rehte hai. Lekin yaha toh har taraf ye lohe ki jaali hai.", Arjun aur Somya jab khade hue toh usne apni maa ke paas aate hue ye kaha. Usko thodi nirasha thi ki janwaro aur unke beeche ye avrodh tha lohe ka.
"Yaha aasapas he sab suraksha hai beta. Andar thodi dur par safari jeep milti hai jo vann ke andar ki sair karwati hai. Bas kuch he aage chalne par woh kiraye par le lenge.", Rekha ji ne Arjun ko aage ke baare me bataya aur fir aise he chaaro log aage badhte chal diye. Koi 500 kadam ke baad woh is khule se chowk jaisi jagah par the jaha 3 jaali wali jeep khadi thi. 50 rupaye harek ke hisab se lene ke baad sabhi log unpar baith gaye aur ek lakdi ke fatte numa darawje se paar hone ke baad ab khule jungle ke andar aa chuke the. Arjun aur Somya ek seat par aur Rekha ji Pooja ke sath unke saamne wali seat par baith the, jeep ke pichle hisse me. Driver ke sath he ek vyakti baitha tha jo unhe yaha ke baare me bata raha tha.
"Yaha takriban 40 se jyada spotted deer(sadharan hiran) hai aur utne he black buck (Kaala hiran-Sambhar)bhi dikhenge. Kuch prajatiya jo khatre me hai jaise cheetal, bahrahsingha bhi yaha par laai jaati hai sanrakshan ke hisab se. sath he is 1500 ekad ke gehre jungle me junglee suar, bandar, goh-badi chipkaliya bhi dekhne ke milenge. Lekin jo khaas baat hai woh yaha ki jheel me aane wale pravasi pakshi hai. Sath he jheel me matsya-palan aur kachua sanrakshan bhi ek atchi vajah hai is saare prakriti-sutra ko banaye rakhne me.", Ye vyakti kisi samachar sunate patrakaar ki tarah sab bata raha tha.
Jab bhi unhe koi janwar ya atcha drishya dikhta toh woh gaadi ko rok dete. Arjun yaha ab kareeb se dekh raha tha in janwaro ko. Sath he kai baar Somya ke sharir se uska sharir bhi atche se takra jata tha. Jab bhi woh kuch dikhane ke liye Arjun ko hilati ya dono gaadi se baahar aate. Koi ek ghante baad jeep us jheel ke paas rok kar driver ke sath woh vyakti bhi utar gaya.
"Yaha aap vishraam kar sakte hai aur jheel ka najara kar sakte hai. Ghabrane ki baat nahi hai kyonki is hisse me agar koi janwar paani peene bhi aata hai toh woh dusri taraf he aayega. Is taraf ye selaniyon ke baithne ke hisab se he banai gai hai.", Ek cigrette jalane ke baad itna bolkar wo dono log ek taraf chal diye aur Arjun is vishal paani ki jheel ko niharta kinare ki taraf aa pahucha.
"Yaha toh seedhiya bani hui hai.?", Apni maa ki taraf dekh kar usne bataya. Jheel yaha se kisi nadi ke ghaat jaisi thi takriban 50-60 gaj kinare par. Paani ke andar tak kuch seedhiya, jaisa sarovar ya ghaa par hota hai lekin baaki poori prakritik jheel.
"Haan beta. Yaha baithne aur machliya dekhne ke liye ye hissa baad me banaya gaya tha. Main bhi yaha bahot baar aai hu, maami ke sath bhi aur mama ke sath bhi.", Rekha ji chalti hui us taraf he aa gai. Yaha sach me he bada sakoon tha aur koi garmi nahi thi. Arjun apne paanv latka kar kinaare baitha bagulo ko dekh raha tha jo paani me shanti se khade rehte fir achanak he chonch paani me maarte kuch khaane ka upkram karne lagte. Maami toh photo he utaarne me lagi thi aur Rekha ji bhi udhar baithi hui kabhi mor toh kabhi unse dur kulanche bharte hirano ko dekhne lagti.
"Pata hai yaha aane ka sabse atcha samay hai barsaat wala mahina. Jheel yaha upar tak bhari hoti hai aur sabhi janwar aasani se dikhte hai. Abhi toh khali khali he yaha. Bagule aur batakh he dikhenge filhal lekin tab machliyan bhi upar dikhti hai aur baahar se aane wale pakshi bhi shor machate atche lagte hai.", Somya Arjun ke bilkul sath baithi kankar paani me maarti bata rahi thi.
"Matlab hum sahi mausam me nahi aaye?", Arjun ne hairaan hote hue kaha.
"Tumne khud he nahi dekha ke hamare siwa yaha hai he kon? Baarish aur sardiyon me he toh sab bahar hote hai. Abhi toh fir bhi thoda bahot dikh rahe hai ye hiran aur sambhar. Agle teen mahine ye sirf raat ya ghane jungle me he araam karenge.", Somya ne wajah batai toh Arjun ko samajh aaya.
"Maa, matlab hume yaha saavan me aana chahiye tha?", Arjun ne thodi tej awaaj me apni maa se kaha jo khud bhi kuch dur khadi jheel me kankar maarne me lagi thi. Pooja maami yaha bhi chupke se unki tasveer lene me lagi thi.
"Haan. Mausam toh wahi hota hai behtar. Lekin fir bhi jitna sukoon yaha aane par milta hai uska koi mausam nahi hai.", Rekha ji kisi darshnik andaaj me fir se jheel ki taraf dekhte hue boli. Ek pal ke liye Arjun ki najar unke maansal prishtbhaag ruk si gai. Kaise unke woh nitambh hath ki harkat ke sath hilte jaanleva lag rahe the. Lekin Arjun ki najaro ko Pooja ne bhi pehchaan lia tha aur unke chehre par ek kutil muskaan chaa gai ye dekhte he.
"Hum bhi aa gaye", Swati ki chehakti awaaj se sabki tandra bhang ho gai thi. Ek jeep aur wahi aa kar khadi ho gai thi aur usme se he Swati, Kanchan, Mamta ji aur Anita utar kar unke pas chali aai. Fir se sabkuch 2 bhaag me bant gaya tha. Jaha sari badi mahilaye ek sath baith kar batiyane lagi thi wahi Swati aur Kanchan ab Arjun-Somya ke pas he seedhiyo se paanv neeche karte hue apne naav ke anubhav batane lagi thi.
Arjun bahar se shaant bas unki baatein sunta saamne jheel aur jungle dekhne me magan tha wahi Somya lagatar Arjun ko niharti aur apni choti behno ki andekhi karti kuch soch rahi thi. Arjun ko yaha aana atcha laga tha lekin ab woh ek tanhaai me apni maa ke sath kuch pal rehna chah raha tha jo mumkin na tha.
Koi aadhe ghante baad sabhi dono jeep me sawaar hote hue bahar bane restra ki taraf aa chuke the. Yaha bhi Arjun sabki najro se anbhigya sa kuch der baad apni maa ko dekhne lagta tha jaise waha aur koi na ho aur is premi ki premika ko bhi uske hone ka pata na ho. Halke fulke khaane ke baad sabhi bahar nikal chale.
"Tum sabhi Quile pahucho hum bhi udhar he aate hai.", Mamta maami ne parking me aane ke sath he ye baat kahi chaaron bacho se aur pehle unki car, fir Swati aur Kanchan, aakhir me Arjun Somya ko sath liye ek baar fir nayi manzil ki taraf chal diye. 2-3 minute me he Arjun jaise Rekha ji ke sammohan se bahar nikalta ab apne peeche baithi Somya didi ke husn ko mehsoos karne laga tha.
"Aap naraj hai kya mujhse?, Arjun ki is baat par Somya ke sapaat chehre par halki khushi aa gai thi.
"Mujhe lag raha tha ke ye main tumse kahungi. kahi anjaane me shayad tumhe kuch galat na lag gaya ho isliye mujhse baat nahi kar rahe.", Somya ab rahat me dono hath Arjun par rakhti kehne lagi.
"Aisa toh nahi hai kuch. Woh bas jagah aisi thi jaise hum ghoomne ki jagah dhyaan lagane aaye ho. Aisi jagah sirf 2 he logo ko aana chahiye.", Arjun ne aakhiri pankti gehri muskaan ke sath kahi thi. Aaj uska mann chanchal ho chuka tha, shayad ye Somya ka uske sath itna kareeb aana aur fir uski maa ke jism ki chaah he wajah thi.
"Aisa hai toh fir tumhe yaha nirasha nahi hogi. Quile me mehal, bawdi, bagiche aur khandahar bahot hai. 2 log atche se ghoom sakte hai.", Somya ko jaha pehle ye lag raha tha ke woh jaldi kar rahi hai, wahi Arjun ka bhi uske prati aasakt hona jaankar woh khush ho gai thi. Matlab aag dono taraf barabar lagi thi. Is khayaal me woh kuch jyada he uski peeth se jaa lagi aur Arjun bhi apni peeth par woh 2 naram ubhaar dabte paa kar alag he uttejana me aa gaya tha. Koi 15 minute me ek baar fir dono he us jagah khade the jaha ek jirn haalat me unchi quile ki diwar thi. Lekin idhar ticket nahi thi aur kuch log andar aate jaate dikh rahe the. Pedd ke neeche motorcycle khadi karne ke baad dono he us khastahaal pravesh dwaar se andar aaye toh saamne he khuli jagah me baaki sabhi ko khade paya.
"aap kam se kam yaha toh intjaar mat kijiye. Sabhi ne dekha hua hai toh Arjun ko main he ghuma deti hu, jo pehle yaha nahi aaya.", Somya ne haq se ye baat baki sabke saamne kahi toh jaise 2 logo ko choddkar sabhi muskaan dete aashwast ho gaye the.
"Atchi baat hai na. Waise bhi humne sirf ye bagiche aur mehal ke samne kuch photo karne the aur wapis ghar jaana tha kyonki tumhare mausere nana-naani aa gaye honge. Aur fir kuch kapde silwane ke liye masterni ji ko bhi bulaya hua hai.", Pooja ji ne sab batane ke baad quile ki imaarat ke saamne sabhi ko khada kia aur camera swa-chalit system par karte hue khud bhi aa khadi hui unke pas. Ek tasvir utaarne ke baad unhone fir khud he 2-3 aur tasvire kheenchi.
"Chalo tumhara jaisa mann kare waise ghoom lo lekin samay se wapis aa jana.", Pooja ji ne apni devraniyo aur nanad ki aur kadam badhate hue bachon se kaha. Ye sabhi aurat mehal ki taraf badh rahi thi jo kuch behtar haalat me tha. Lekin Swati-Kanchan frooti peeti hui ek taraf ko upar jaati badhi seedhiya chadthi upar jaa rahi thi.
"Aao pehle hum mehal ke peeche bani bawdi aur sarovar ki taraf chalte hai. Ye jagah itni badi hai ke agar dhang se pata na ho toh ek dusre ko dhoondna mushkil ho jaye.", Somya ab Arjun ka hath thaame quile ke diwar ke sath chalti hui mehal ke barabar se jaa rahe raste par badh gai. Kahi kahi diwaro par ladka-ladki ke naam likhe the. Kuch log bagiche ke naam par sirf ghaas aur jhadiyo jaisi jagah par lage bench par baithe the. Jyadatar gaanv ke school ya sarkari college ke ladke aur kuch jode he the.
"Is jagah ko surakshit kyo nahi rakhte.? Haalat toh pehle se kharaab hai upar se log bhi yaha kachra kar rahe hai.", Arjun diwaro par koyle, kaali syahi se likhe woh naam, dil ke aakar ke chitra dekhta hua Somya se puch raha tha. Dono ab Mehal ki diwar se viprit jaate ek galiyare se gujar rahe the. Upar lambi chatt aur galiyara tang hone se halka andhera sa tha abhi is jagah.
"Kyonki ab ye jarurat se jyada kharaab haalat me hai. Lekin shayad mehal ka kuch jarur hoga kyonki waha ab saaf-safaai hone lagi hai aur chowkidar bhi rakh diye gaye hai.", Somya abhi 2 kadam aage he chal rahi thi ki saamne se kisi ko aata dekh diwar se satt kar ruk gai thi.
"Bhai chidiya toh ghani suthri le riha hai chorra. Maar na deve kade bhitar le jaa ke.", Ye shararti se 2 ladke school ki vardi me unke paas se fabtiya kaste gujre lekin Arjun muskurate hue unhe dekhne ke baad Somya ka haath thaam aage badh chala.
"Ye ganwaar bas yahi karne aate hai idhar. Logo ko pareshan karna aur awaragardi karna.", Somya ko bura laga tha unki bhasha sunkar.
"Kyo gussa karti aap? Wo gaye na?", Arjun ne narmi se baat kehte hue uska haath thaame rakha.
"Ok.", Somya ne bhi shaant hote hue kaha. Dono ab is pichle hisse me aa gaye the jaha khuli jagah thi aur ek taraf seedhiya bani thi. Jaise bahar wale bagiche ke pas thi.
"Ye seedhiya?", Arjun ne ishara karte hue poocha.
"Wahi hai jo bahar thi. yaha se bhi aana-jaana ho sakta hai lekin mujhe tumhare sath ye rasta thik laga, siwaye un ladko ki baat ke.", Somya muskura rahi thi aur ab uski baat sunkar Arjun bhi. Diwar ki kinare kuch jhaad kaafi unche ugg chuke the aur is kaafi khuli jagah peepal aur neem ke drakht bhi thi, ek prakritik diwar jaise. Dono ab ek hadd tak khulne ke baad yugal ki tarah har taraf dekhte aage chalne lage.
"ye hai bawdi. Waise toh ab poori tarah sookh chuki hai, lekin 30 seedhiya neeche hai ye.", Koi 100x60 feet ki ye jameen me gehri jaati bawdi atchi haalat me thi. Seedhiya jarur kaali-laal dikh rahi thi aur sath he 3 jode bhi idhar udhar kuch duri par waha baithe batiya rahe the lekin Arjun dhyaan se is jagah ko dekh raha tha.
"Ye aur bhi gehri rahi hogi. Dekho kaise mitti se band kia hua isko.", Arjun ne apna hath Somya ke kandhe par rakhte hue kaha. Dono he neeche dekh rahe the lekin Somya jaise Arjun ke sparsh ka poora lutf le rahi thi.
"Thik kehte ho. Lekin aisa bhi bahot pehle he kia hoga. Chalo agar neeche chalna hai toh thik hai nahi toh peeche sarovar ki taraf chalte hai. Udhar bhi seedhiya hai jo upar jaati hai aur waha se jungle ka najara bhi aata hai. Quile ke thik peeche khaai jo hai.", Somya ki baat par Arjun bhi baaki jodo ko unke haal par karte hue waha se Somya ke sath aage chal dia. Idhar kai raaste aage ki taraf jaa rahe the. Lekin Somya ne aakhir wale marg par badhte hue Arjun ka hath thoda sakhti se thaam lia tha. Ye bhi waisa he galiyara tha lekin mitti aur ghaas ki mehak thi andhere ke sath he.
"Darr nahi lagta?", Arjun ne itna he kaha tha ke Somya bilkul chipak kar he chalne lagi thi.
"Lagta hai thoda. Idhar sirf ek he baar aai hu, woh bhi Papa aur Maa ke sath. Tabhi toh kisi aur raste ko nahi chuna.", Apni baat kehne ke sath he woh Arjun ke gale lag gai.. "mere paanv ke upar se kuch gujra abhi.", Woh sach me he darr gai thi lekin Arjun ke seene me dabe uske ubhaar Arjun ko andar tak hila gaye the. Aaj jaise uska sanyyam uske saath na tha.
"Sirf lambi ghaans hai idhar. Daro mat mai hu sath me.", Arjun ne ek baar peeth sehlane ke baad apni baat Somya ki kamar ke gird lapet kar aahista aahista chalna shuru kia. Somya abhi bhi halki ghabrai hui thi lekin Arjun ka saath usko sukoon de raha tha.
"Ek baat kahu?", Dono he ab ek toote-footte sarovar ke paas aa gaye the. Charo kinaro par golakar patthar ke khambe aur beech me baarish ke tehre hue gande paani se bhara woh sarovar tha. Idhar bhi ye jagah koi 300 feet se jyada chaudi thi jaha ye 60-70 feet chauda sarovar beech me bana tha. Tabhi saamne khandhar me bane ek kamre jaise bhaag par Arjun ki najar gai.
Koi 27-28 saal ka vyakti ek sarkari school ki ladki ki pajami neeche kiye hue jaise milan ke liye jabardasti mana raha tha. Kameej ko ek hath se dabaye woh ladki dusre haath se apni pajami ka ek sira pakde thi. Ye sab Arjun se kuch kadam dur sarovar ke us paar ho raha tha.
"Kya hua?", Somya ne Arjun ko aise shant khade dekh poocha lekin Arjun hath chudata bas us taraf chal dia.
.
.
"Tumne kaha tha ke Ravi ne yaha bulaya hai. Ab tum thik nahi kar rahe mere sath. Mujhe jaane do, main kisi ko kuch nahi kahungi.", Wo ladki abhi jaise paripakva na thi lekin ye aadmi jaise usko majbur kar raha tha.
"Ravi se jyada maje dunga. Nakhre na kar aur bas ya salwar nikaad de. 10 minute baad chali jaio nahi toh fir dekh main teri khabar saare gaam me bata dunga.", Kameej ke upar se he ladki ka chota sa ubhaar woh bedardi se dabate hue salwar ko neeche karwane me safal ho gaya tha lekin ab ladki ki aankhon me aansu the aur woh chaah kar bhi cheekh nahi rahi thi.
"Darr na ri, Ravi ne thodi bera paatega. Ar ek baar chaska laag gya toh khud mere dhor aake chudwavegi tu.", Aadmi ka hath uski jaangho ki taraf pahucha he tha ke jordaar laat uski kamar me lagi.
"Balatkaar kar raha hai kamine is naa-samajh ka? Mushkil se ## saal ko hogi abhi aur tu khud ko dekh.", Arjun ka prahaar itna tej tha ke sar par khoon aane ke bawjood woh aadmi peit pakad kar jameen pe leta tadaf raha tha. Diwar se sar jyada he jor se takrya tha kyonki iske liye woh tayaar jo nahi tha.
"Gudiya ye kapde pehno aur bahar jao. Darna matt is jaise aadmi se kabhi aur iski harkat ghar pe jarur batana.", Woh ladki bhi jaise sadme me he thi is ghatnakram se lekin khud ke nanga hone ka aabhas hote he jaldi se salwar upar chadhati woh bina ruke bahar nikal bhaagi.
"Bada maja aa raha tha aise ek ladki ko majbur karne me tujhe? Chal ab main jaleel karunga tujhe aur fir khud mehsoos karna ke izzatt jaane par kaisa mehsoos hota hai.", Mooh par thokar maarne ke sath he Arjun ne 2-3 tej prahaar chaati par kiye. Us vyakti ki cheekh is viraane me pehli baar jor se gunji. Iske sath he 10 kadam peeche khadi Somya hairaan si jadd ho kar us jagah khadi bas dekh rahi thi ki kya ho raha hai.
Arjun ne us aadmi ki kameej poori tarah se faadte hue jism se alag kar di thi aur kuch pal baad he patloon bhi jism se juda ho kar Arjun ke hatho me thi. Kacha nahi pehna tha jis wajah se ab woh maadarjat nagan awastha me hath jode gidgida raha tha.
"Bhai re. Chodd de maine aur mere kapde dede. Waa chorri meri saali laage hai lekin mere teh galti ho gai. Aainda kuch na karunga lekin kapde dede re.", Uski gidgidahat ke sath kabool ki hui sachaai sunkar Somya ko maajra samajh me aaya ke yaha kya hua hoga aur woh ladki jo bhaagti nikli uski wajah kya thi.
"Is nunni ko liye tu mard bana fir raha tha kya? Mard yaha se nahi insaan apne dil aur himmat se hota hai. Ab pada reh yaha aur tere kapde sarovar se nikal lena agar waha tak jaa sake toh.", Arjun peeche muda he tha ke Somya najar aa gai. Woh ab apne vyvahar aur is mahol par thoda jhemp gaya tha.
"Tumne kuch galat nahi kia. Aise insaan ke sath yahi hona chahiye tha.", Neeche gire us aadmi ko dhikkarti Somya bhi Arjun ke sath bahar nikal chali. Usko bada naaj tha is insaan par jisko pehle woh pasand kar chuki thi lekin ab is ghatna se woh uske dil me bas gaya tha. Lekin idhar Arjun fir se ek besabrapan mehsoos kar raha tha apne sharir me. Kyo aaj uska sharir ye daga kar raha tha? Kyo aaj uska dhyaan bhi kaam nahi aa raha tha.? Jism ki chaah ne besabar kar dia tha us insaan ko jisme sayyam he bhara tha aaj se pehle.
Besabar (1)
Swati pehle ki tarah he nischint soi hui thi, jaise Arjun usko chodd kar gaya tha. Abhi raat ke is aakhiri pehar woh kamre me aaya aur darwaje ko araam se lagate hue bister par aa leta. Swati ke hath ke neeche se takiya nikal kar apne se chipkate hue usne bhi aankhen band kar li thi. Swati is garmahat se khud bhi Arjun ke chaude seene me dhans gai lekin purvavat he neend me rahi.
'Jab saamne aise sawaal aa khade ho jinke jawaab vichlit kare ya woh anaitik lage toh sach/jhooth par vichar karne ki jagah sawaal ke garbh ko tatolna chahiye. Sawaal he jawaab hota hai lekin hamara hoshiyar dimag isko padhne ki bajaye vivek par haavi ho kar naye jawaab dhoondne me lag jata hai. Bas sawaal ke sath bane rehne se wohi tumhe uske jawaab tak le jata hai. Mandbuddhi bane rehkar bhi halaat padhe ja sakte hai.', Aacharya ji ki ye baat yaad karte hue Arjun ek muskaan liye neend me jaa chuka tha. Ghar me raat ke is pehar ab sirf shaanti he pasri thi jisme kahi kahi Tiger ke bhonkne ki awaaj aa jaati thi jo shayad ab bahar wale aangan me sachet tha.

"Aaj ka kya vichar hai bitiya?", Kundanlal ji subah 6 baje ghar ke pichle aangan me apni beti Rekha, badi bhabhi Anjana aur patni Sunanda ji ke sath baithe the. Sair, nahane-dhone aadi se faarig hone ke baad yaha chai ka karyakram chal raha tha. Ghar ke bache sabhi soye hue the ya agar jaag bhi rahe the toh apne kamro me he the.
"Papa, kuch pata nahi abhi toh. Bache toh sabhi keh rahe the abhyaranya aur mehal dekhne ke liye lekin aaj kuch mehmaan bhi aane hai ghar par.", Rekha ji bhi naha dho kar ek saada salwar-kameej pehne apni taaiji ke sannidhya me baithi thi. "Upar se agar main bacho ke sath gai toh fir Manoj ya Kailash ko kaam se chutti karni padegi. Kyonki bache toh motorcycle scooty par jaa sakte hai lekin agar hum bhi jaayenge toh gaadi ke sath kisi ko toh chalna he padega.", Rekha ji ne apni baat rakhte hue ek baar apni bhabhi Mamta ki taraf bhi dekha, jo tulsi me paani dene ke baad unhe dekh kar muskura rahi thi.
"Gaadi toh Pooja aur Mamta bitiya bhi le ja sakti hai. Kal shayad mujhe Arjun ko apne sath le jana pade aur rishteydaro se tum dopahar baad bhi mil he sakte ho. Aur waise agar tumhe kisi purush sadasya ko sath he lekar jaana hai toh fir mai keh deta hu Manoj ko, Kailash toh khet chala gaya Manohar ko lekar.", Kundanlal ji ki baat par Sundanda ji ne bhi sehmati jata di. Idhar Sohanlal ji bhi fakk safed kurta pajama pehan kar aa baithe araam-kursi par sabhi ke pas.
"haan toh harj he kya hai jaane me. Chota sa hamara shehar hai aur log bhi bhale hai. Pooja le jayegi tum sabhi ko aur bache agar apne se jana chahe toh woh chale jaayenge. Aur Kundan, bhai chalo jaldi jara aaj kaam bhi hai waha.", Sohanlal ji ne bhi khuli ijajatt de di thi aur ab apne chote bhai ke chalne ki pratiksha kar rahe the.
"Pooja bitiya, bache uth gaye kya? Ek ghante tak sabhi nikal jaoge toh dopahri se pehle araam se wapis aa sakte ho.", Kundan ji ne apni badi bahu ko awaa dete hue kaha.
"Ji papa. Swati aur Kanchan tayaar ho rahi hai aur Somya rasoi me Anita ke sath kaam dekh rahi hai. Arjun bhi kasrat se faarig hone he wala hoga.", Chamde ka ek bag laakar apne sasur ji ko pakdati Pooja ji ne sabhi bacho ke bare bata dia tha. Kundanlal ji Arjun ki kasrat ki baat sunkar apni beti ki taraf dekhne lage.
"Ye idhar aane ke baad bhi apni kasrat nahi bhoola kya?", Halke hairaan se hote woh kehne lage.
"Bittu bhaiya ne store me machine laga rakhi hai toh usne dekh lia. Bahar ka jyada pata nahi hai toh fir thoda bahot vyayaam yahi kar raha hai woh. Aur uski dincharya ke baare me bas itna pata hai ke woh iske liye thoda sakht he hai papa.", Rekha ji ne uthte hue kaha aur fir apne pita aur taauji se baat karti hui woh bhi bahar aangan ki taraf chal di. Aaj ek he caar me Manoj, Sohanlal ji aur Kundan ji chale gaye the. Ek car khet ja chuki thi aur 2 yaha abhi aangan me khadi thi.
"Prakash bhaiya, jara ye wali gaadi dho dijiyega. Bahar lekar jaani hai kuch he der me.", Rekha ji ne gate par khade Prakash ko samjhaya aur fir Tiger ko apne sath he waha se ghar ke andar lekar chali aai.

Renuka safed saree me lipti Major Kaushal ke shav ke pas baith ashrudhara baha rahi thi jahan pariwar ke sabhi log aur unke pita Col Satish ji ke sath he Rameshwar ji aur Kaushalya ji bhi the. Aaj subah 5 baje he unka shav taboot me Delhi se idhar unke ghar pahucha tha. Sabhi gamgeen the lekin Kaushal ji ke maa ka bura haal tha. Naksaliyo ke sath muthbhed me unka beta aur ek sehkarmi shaeed hue the. Kaushalya ji unhe hausla de rahi thi aur baaki sabhi log bhi parthiv sharir ke darshan karte hue aatma ki shaanti ki dua karte hue pariwar se mil rahe the.
Abhimanyu toh jaise yaha bhi shayad Renuka ka haal dekhne he aaya tha. Lekin fir bhi khud ko durust rakhte hue woh ghar ke kaam karwata apni he jugat me laga raha. Mahol shayad thik nahi tha isliye he woh aisa dikhava kar raha tha lekin andar he andar ab usko khushi thi ki Renuka ka suhaag jawani me he uska sath chodd gaya hai aur akeli vidhwa ladki se kamjor shikar shayad he uske liye koi ho. Bas us Arjun naam ko shakhs ko dur rakhna tha Renuka se. Agle 4 din toh kam se kam ab Renuka uski aankhon ke saamne rehne wali hai, koi tarkib toh woh chala he lega.
Jo baat sirf dono pariwar ko he pata thi woh shayad Abhimanyu ya kisi aur ko bilkul ilm na tha ke Renuka aur Kaushal ke rishtey ko khatam karne ka fainsla pehle he lia ja chuka tha. Bas un dono ke vivah ka gavaah unka beta ab apne dada-daadi ke pas rehne wala tha aur Renuka bhi idhar sirf antim-sanskaar tak he thi.

***** gaanv me bhi aisa he drishya tha jaha Meghna Singh ke haatho se chuddiyaan nadarad thi, maang khaali aur sharir par safed vastra the. Poora gaanv aur rishteydar ekatrait the inke ghar jaha Leuitnant Singh ka shav safed kapde me lipta aakhiri darshan ke liye rakha hua tha. Fauj ke he kuch adhikari aur sainik bhi idhar upasthith the antim-sanskaar ke liye.
Dono ki koi aulaad na thi toh sabhi kartvya ghar ka chota beta nibha raha tha. Menaka ki shaadi jo 5 saal bhi na chali thi aaj uski khushiyo ko bhi grahan lag chuka tha lekin gaanv me shaheed ki ijajjat sabse jyada he rehti hai toh gamgeen hone ke sath he sabhi ko is shaheed par naaj bhi tha. Gammo ke baadal chattne me shayad abhi samay lagega lekin ek behtar kal bhi shayad bure waqt ke baad he aata hai.

"Main tere sath chalungi aur baaki jisko jaise jana ho ja sakta hai.", Swati nashta karti hui bhi Arjun ke bagal me he thi. Sabhi tayar ho chuke the jaane ke liye siwaye Sangita ji ke, jo paanv me moch ka bahana kiye apne chudaai ka dard aur maja leti kamre me padi thi.
"Lekin main kyo nahi jaa sakti Arjun ke sath? Tu toh waise bhi kal gai he thi market.", Kanchan bhi mooh banate hue Swati ke sath jidd lagaye baithi thi. Arjun apna khana khaate hue is nok-jhok ke maje lene me laga tha.
"Car me 4 log jaayenge. Maa, Chachi, bua, Choti Chachi. Toh scooty bhi leke jaani padegi aur uspar tum dono jaogi. Arjun ke sath main jaa rahi hu.", Somya ki baat par ab dono ladkiya khamoshi se ek dusre ko dekh rahi thi. Aur unhe bhi pata tha ke didi ne jo kaha hai wahi hoga. Somya apne kamre ki aur chal di kuch samaan lene aur idhar in dono ki khusur-phusur fir shuru ho gai.
"Jaate time tu aa jati aur abhi main chali jaati. Lekin nahi tujhe toh kabada he karna hota hai jor-jor se bolkar. Ab kar mehnat mere sath he.", Swati ki is baat par Kanchan najre jhukaye chupchap paani peene lagi.
Sabhi log tayaar ho chuke the aur jyada chalna firna hona he tha isliye sabhi salwar-kameej aur dupatte liye he thi. Swati aur Kanchan ne jeans-tshirt pehna tha aur waise he chust kapdo me Arjun tha. Neeli jeans aur halke peele rang ki woh dheeli si tshirt bhi Arjun ki baaju aur chaude seene par atche se kasi hui thi. Waisa he najara Rekha ji ke sharir par tha. Cotton ka woh halke rang ka suit jispar kaale aur laal print the, unke sharir ka har bhugol atche se dikha raha tha. Bhaari seena, sapat peit aur gudaaj nitambh. Kamar par se suit dheela hone ke bawjood pichwada ubhar kar dikh he raha tha. Unke baad agar kisi ka sharir thoda bahut unke aas-pas tha toh woh Mamta ji he thi aur kuch unki he tarah thi Pooja ji. Halke gulabi-safed suit me Mamta ka sondarya bhi atche se najar aa raha tha wahi Pooja ji toh waise he pratishthit aur aadhunik ghar me badi hui thi, unke kameej ki fitting aur gale ka kataav bahot tha kisi ka bhi dil ghayal karne ke liye.
Khaane-Peene ka halka fulka samaan gaadi ki dikki me rakhwane ke baad jaise taye hua tha sabhi usi kram me nikal chale ghar se. Car ke sath he Swati-Kanchan scooty par nikal liye, rasta toh sabhi ko pata tha Arjun ko choddkar lekin uske sath bhi Somya didi jaa rahi thi toh sabhi ne pehle vann dekhne ka he vichaar banaya tha. Thodi dhoop ke baad woh log araam se Quila-Mehal dekh sakte the. Idhar Arjun ki najar jab bahar aangan me aati Somya didi par gai toh ek pal toh woh bhi bas unhe he dekhta reh gaya. Surkh jaamuni rang ke tang kameej ke niche safed patiala salwar me woh gulabi chehre wali ladki aur din se jyada he aakarshak lag rahi thi. Kamar ke beech tak aate unke ghane baal bas ek dheele se safed kapde ke rubber me qaid the, jo is khubsurti ko yakayak aur badha de rahe the.
"Hero, dekhte he rahoge ya yaha se chaloge bhi? Sabhi nikal liye hai aur bas hum dono he hai idhar.", Arjun unki baat sunkar jhempta hua motorocycle par kick lagane laga. Somya apni aankhon par ek kala chasma lagati muskura rahi thi Arjun ke hav-bhav dekhti. Arjun jaisa gabru jawan bhi apni is behan ko dekh mohit ho gaya tha aur Somya ko is baat se khushi bhi thi ki uska yu sajna kaam aa he gaya.
"Yaha se kitna dur hai didi ye abhyaranya?", Arjun mukhya sadak par aane ke baad pooch raha tha. Somya uske sath judd kar baithi bas idhar udhar najar dauda rahi thi. Subah ke sadhe 7 baje the aur mausam bhi behtar he tha.
"Bas yaha ye seedhi sadak par 5-6 kilometer ke baad ek right aur hum pahuch jaayenge. Waise teri ye motorcycle hai badhiya. Mujhe toh pehle iska shor ajeeb lag raha tha lekin ye chalti kaafi atchi hai.", Raasta samjhati woh khud he Arjun se aakarshit ho chuki thi lekin dhyaan hatane ke liye woh aisa keh rahi thi. Somya se chupa na tha Sangita chachi ka kissa. Anita chachi ne bina kahani sunaye bata dia tha ke Arjun ne unke sath raat me kar lia hai aur didi khush hai. Somya pehle hairaan thi ki Arjun itni kam umar me kaise ek bhari-puri aurat ko bister par bitha aaya lekin dil me ek romanch toh bhar he gaya tha apni choti chachi jo saheli bhi thi unki baaton se.
"Waise aapka shehar hai bada shaant aur hara-bhara. Hamare shehar me toh sirf thoda bahot he aisa hoga nahi toh market ya college ki taraf bharpoor bheed he milti hai.", Arjun ko bhi yaha atcha lag raha tha. Peeche baithi Somya ke ubhaar bekhyaali se uski peeth se halke halke takra rahe the. Jawaan ladki thi woh aur aise sparsh se mann me gudgudi hona bhi swabhavi he tha. Arjun ne jab unka woh muskurata chehra aur kala chasma dekha toh kuch pal woh yunhi unhe dekhne laga tha. Surkh laal honth, gora rang, kala chasma.. Kisi khoobsurat abhinetri si jaan padti thi. Somya ne bhi is chuppi ko samajhte hue jab dhyaan dia toh Arjun ko aise khud ko niharte dekh bas sharmati si uski peeth se lagte hue mooh chupa kar baith gai.
"Seedhe sadak par dekho. Aise kahi motorcycle mat bhida dena.", Hansti hui woh itna bolkar khud par he itra rahi thi. Arjun ko bhi pata tha ke uski harkat didi ne dekh li hai.
"Waise aaj he pata laga ke aap kitni atchi dikhti ho. Itne dhyaan se pehle nahi dekha tha isliye keh raha hu.", Arjun ne bhi tarif ke sath he safaai dete hue kaha. Ab woh vann ki taraf jaati us sunsaan sadak par mudd chuke the. Yaha dono he taraf ghane pedd lage the aur peeche bhi thoda jungle sa he the. 12-13 feet chaudi is sadak par filhaal toh unhe koi najar nahi aa raha tha aur jaha tak baaki pariwar ka sawaal tha woh waise bhi unse kahi aage the aur shayad pahuch bhi chuke the. Ye 30 ki raftaar se safar ka aanand uthate chal rahe the.
"Kyon, kal nahi dekha tha kya din me? Waisi he hu aaj bhi bas ye chasma laga lia hai kyonki aankhen thodi sensitive hai.", Somya ko bhi maja aa raha tha aise Arjun ke halke shabdo me tarif sun-na aur uska hichkichana.
"Dhyaan se nahi dekha tha na. Waise bhi kal kaha aapse dhang se baat ho pai thi. Waise aap hamare he udhar ho na college me? Aapka college kidhar hai?", Arjun ne baat ka rukh ghumate hue kaha.
"DAV college hai hamara, waha university road par. Kabhi time lage toh aana college ke baad. Sarkari quarter police line me hai college se 3 kilometer dur he. Kaam kuch hota nahi hai udhar toh agar tum aaoge toh atcha lagega, khali samay me.", Arjun samajh gaya tha ke ghar aur college kidhar padte hai. Kuch idhar udhar ke baatein karte dono he apni dil ki baatein na kehte hue agle 10 minute me he dono apne gantavya par aa pahuche the. Gaadiyon ke liye alag se banaye is saaf maidaan me motrocycle khada karte hue Arjun wapis wahi aa gaya jaha uski maa aur maamiya pehle se ticket liye unhi ka intjar kar rahi thi.
"Chalo ab andar chalte hai. 11-sadhe 11 tak yaha se chal padenge fir Quile ki taraf.", Pooja maami ke itna kehte he sabhi kataar se pravesh dwar se hote hue andar chal diye. Ek bujurg sa vyakti ticket check karne ke baad unhe aage ka thoda rasta samjhane laga. Patharr ki bani andar ki sadak koi 8-10 feet chaudi thi aur 2 taraf ko jaati thi. Shuru ke idhar wale hisse me ek pani ki choti jheel jisme paanv se chalane wali nauka thi, ka lutf 1-2 log le rahe the aur 5-6 nauka jo rang-birangi thi kinare par khadi thi. Har taraf chetwani ya niyam ke nishaan bane the. Kuch duri par ek restra bhi tha khuli hari bhari jagah me lekin ikka-dukka he log dikh rahe the.
"Main toh boating karungi aur uske baad jeep se he chakkar laga lungi jitna dil chahega.", Anita maami ki aisi baat par Arjun ke sath he baaki sab bhi hans diye. Wo kisi bachi ki tarah un naukao ko dekh rahi thi. Lekin unhe bhi yaha sath mil gaya tha Kanchan aur Mamta ji ka. Aur na chahte hue bhi Swati ko unke sath jana pada kyonki ek nauka me 2 log he baith sakte the.
"Tu chal legi na Somya beti?", Pooja ne apni beti se paidal aage chalne ke liye poocha. Aage rasta thoda dur bhi tha toh unhe fikar thi ki Somya itna chal sakegi ya nahi.
"Maa, main pehli bhi aai hu na. Woh alag baat hai ke kabhi jyada bheetar nahi gaye lekin agar thakaan hui bhi toh chachi ke sath he jeep se wapis aa jayenge.", Rekha ji bhi muskurati hui uske jawaab se santusht thi. Arjun in teeno ke sath he aage badh chala. Pooja maami purse se Kodak ka film wala camera nikalti usme cell dekh rahi thi. Unhone 4 cell atirikt bhi liye the apne sath aur Arjun unhe ye karta dekh raha tha.
"Maami, aapko lagta hai tasveer kheenchne ka atcha shauk hai?", Paani ki bottle hath me liye chalta woh bhi sab taraf dekh raha tha. Yaha aage kuch alag mahol tha. Lohe ki sadharan taaro se takriban 2 meter unchi jaali si diwar bani thi is taraf sadak ke dono aur.
"Yaadein reh jaati hai toh mujhe atcha lagta hai unhe sambhal kar rakhna.", Pooja maami ki muskaan bhi kisi khile gulaab si he thi. 2 bacho ke bawjood woh aaj tak apna sharir barkarar kiye thi. Chaal me chapalta aur chehre par chamak.
"Arjun woh dekh", Apni maa ki awaaj sunkar Arjun ne apni nigahe bataai disha me lagai toh koi 5-7 hiran ek jhund me masti karte dikhe. Bhure rang ke unke sharir par woh safed bindiya aur chote sing. Bade he furtile aur aakarshak jeev lage Arjun ko. Taar par ungliya tikaaye woh unhe nihaarne laga sath he uske ek taraf uski maa aur dusri taraf Somya bhi ye drishya dekh rahi thi. Ek chota hiran kulanche maarta unse thodi he duri se nikla aur uske he peeche baaki sabhi. Arjun ne pehle kabhi aisa drishya nahi dekha tha. Ye jeev apne sharir se 3-4 guna jyada lambi chaalang lagate unki aankho se aujhal ho gaye the.
"Sach me maa. Ye bade he pyaare hai aur kitne tej bhi.", Arjun waha se najara hatate hue fir se sabhi ke sath aage badhne laga.
"Maine tere liye unki photo utaar li hai.", Pooja maami ne muskurate hue Arjun ka hath pakad kar aage chalte hue kaha. Rekha ji aur Somya abhi tak bade dhyaan se dono taraf dekhte chal rahe the. Baatein karte aur prakriti ka aanand lete hue woh log ab us jagah the jaha ek taraf paani ke talaab the aur dusri taraf jungle. Beech me wahi thandi sadak.
Paani ke talaab me kuch batkhe teir rahi thi aur koi 100 gaj dur lambe seeng wala ek kale rang ka hiran paani peene laga hua tha. Pooja maami ne ehtiyaat se jaali ke us khaali baag par camera rakhte hue usko 2-3 tasveer utaar li. Arjun bade dhyaan se dekh raha tha ke ye hiran unse bilkul bhi darr nahi raha tha. Kuch der unhe dekhe ke baad woh araame se gehre jungle ki aur chala gaya.
"Inko ab aadat ho gai hai insaano ko dekhne ki. Jo bade hiran hai woh jyada darte nahi ab.", Pooja maami ye bata rahi thi aur Somya sadak kinare bane bench par baithi dusri taraf kuch dhyaan se dekh rahi thi. Ab Arjun ne bhi uska anusaran kia toh woh muskura utha. 2 chote hiran ek dusre ke sath he khel me lage hue the. Kisi spring ki tarah idhar udhar fudakte hue woh masti karne me lage the aur unhe dekh kar ab Arjun aur Somya maje kar rahe the.
"maa, aap toh keh rahi thi ke yaha jaanwar khule me rehte hai. Lekin yaha toh har taraf ye lohe ki jaali hai.", Arjun aur Somya jab khade hue toh usne apni maa ke paas aate hue ye kaha. Usko thodi nirasha thi ki janwaro aur unke beeche ye avrodh tha lohe ka.
"Yaha aasapas he sab suraksha hai beta. Andar thodi dur par safari jeep milti hai jo vann ke andar ki sair karwati hai. Bas kuch he aage chalne par woh kiraye par le lenge.", Rekha ji ne Arjun ko aage ke baare me bataya aur fir aise he chaaro log aage badhte chal diye. Koi 500 kadam ke baad woh is khule se chowk jaisi jagah par the jaha 3 jaali wali jeep khadi thi. 50 rupaye harek ke hisab se lene ke baad sabhi log unpar baith gaye aur ek lakdi ke fatte numa darawje se paar hone ke baad ab khule jungle ke andar aa chuke the. Arjun aur Somya ek seat par aur Rekha ji Pooja ke sath unke saamne wali seat par baith the, jeep ke pichle hisse me. Driver ke sath he ek vyakti baitha tha jo unhe yaha ke baare me bata raha tha.
"Yaha takriban 40 se jyada spotted deer(sadharan hiran) hai aur utne he black buck (Kaala hiran-Sambhar)bhi dikhenge. Kuch prajatiya jo khatre me hai jaise cheetal, bahrahsingha bhi yaha par laai jaati hai sanrakshan ke hisab se. sath he is 1500 ekad ke gehre jungle me junglee suar, bandar, goh-badi chipkaliya bhi dekhne ke milenge. Lekin jo khaas baat hai woh yaha ki jheel me aane wale pravasi pakshi hai. Sath he jheel me matsya-palan aur kachua sanrakshan bhi ek atchi vajah hai is saare prakriti-sutra ko banaye rakhne me.", Ye vyakti kisi samachar sunate patrakaar ki tarah sab bata raha tha.
Jab bhi unhe koi janwar ya atcha drishya dikhta toh woh gaadi ko rok dete. Arjun yaha ab kareeb se dekh raha tha in janwaro ko. Sath he kai baar Somya ke sharir se uska sharir bhi atche se takra jata tha. Jab bhi woh kuch dikhane ke liye Arjun ko hilati ya dono gaadi se baahar aate. Koi ek ghante baad jeep us jheel ke paas rok kar driver ke sath woh vyakti bhi utar gaya.
"Yaha aap vishraam kar sakte hai aur jheel ka najara kar sakte hai. Ghabrane ki baat nahi hai kyonki is hisse me agar koi janwar paani peene bhi aata hai toh woh dusri taraf he aayega. Is taraf ye selaniyon ke baithne ke hisab se he banai gai hai.", Ek cigrette jalane ke baad itna bolkar wo dono log ek taraf chal diye aur Arjun is vishal paani ki jheel ko niharta kinare ki taraf aa pahucha.
"Yaha toh seedhiya bani hui hai.?", Apni maa ki taraf dekh kar usne bataya. Jheel yaha se kisi nadi ke ghaat jaisi thi takriban 50-60 gaj kinare par. Paani ke andar tak kuch seedhiya, jaisa sarovar ya ghaa par hota hai lekin baaki poori prakritik jheel.
"Haan beta. Yaha baithne aur machliya dekhne ke liye ye hissa baad me banaya gaya tha. Main bhi yaha bahot baar aai hu, maami ke sath bhi aur mama ke sath bhi.", Rekha ji chalti hui us taraf he aa gai. Yaha sach me he bada sakoon tha aur koi garmi nahi thi. Arjun apne paanv latka kar kinaare baitha bagulo ko dekh raha tha jo paani me shanti se khade rehte fir achanak he chonch paani me maarte kuch khaane ka upkram karne lagte. Maami toh photo he utaarne me lagi thi aur Rekha ji bhi udhar baithi hui kabhi mor toh kabhi unse dur kulanche bharte hirano ko dekhne lagti.
"Pata hai yaha aane ka sabse atcha samay hai barsaat wala mahina. Jheel yaha upar tak bhari hoti hai aur sabhi janwar aasani se dikhte hai. Abhi toh khali khali he yaha. Bagule aur batakh he dikhenge filhal lekin tab machliyan bhi upar dikhti hai aur baahar se aane wale pakshi bhi shor machate atche lagte hai.", Somya Arjun ke bilkul sath baithi kankar paani me maarti bata rahi thi.
"Matlab hum sahi mausam me nahi aaye?", Arjun ne hairaan hote hue kaha.
"Tumne khud he nahi dekha ke hamare siwa yaha hai he kon? Baarish aur sardiyon me he toh sab bahar hote hai. Abhi toh fir bhi thoda bahot dikh rahe hai ye hiran aur sambhar. Agle teen mahine ye sirf raat ya ghane jungle me he araam karenge.", Somya ne wajah batai toh Arjun ko samajh aaya.
"Maa, matlab hume yaha saavan me aana chahiye tha?", Arjun ne thodi tej awaaj me apni maa se kaha jo khud bhi kuch dur khadi jheel me kankar maarne me lagi thi. Pooja maami yaha bhi chupke se unki tasveer lene me lagi thi.
"Haan. Mausam toh wahi hota hai behtar. Lekin fir bhi jitna sukoon yaha aane par milta hai uska koi mausam nahi hai.", Rekha ji kisi darshnik andaaj me fir se jheel ki taraf dekhte hue boli. Ek pal ke liye Arjun ki najar unke maansal prishtbhaag ruk si gai. Kaise unke woh nitambh hath ki harkat ke sath hilte jaanleva lag rahe the. Lekin Arjun ki najaro ko Pooja ne bhi pehchaan lia tha aur unke chehre par ek kutil muskaan chaa gai ye dekhte he.
"Hum bhi aa gaye", Swati ki chehakti awaaj se sabki tandra bhang ho gai thi. Ek jeep aur wahi aa kar khadi ho gai thi aur usme se he Swati, Kanchan, Mamta ji aur Anita utar kar unke pas chali aai. Fir se sabkuch 2 bhaag me bant gaya tha. Jaha sari badi mahilaye ek sath baith kar batiyane lagi thi wahi Swati aur Kanchan ab Arjun-Somya ke pas he seedhiyo se paanv neeche karte hue apne naav ke anubhav batane lagi thi.
Arjun bahar se shaant bas unki baatein sunta saamne jheel aur jungle dekhne me magan tha wahi Somya lagatar Arjun ko niharti aur apni choti behno ki andekhi karti kuch soch rahi thi. Arjun ko yaha aana atcha laga tha lekin ab woh ek tanhaai me apni maa ke sath kuch pal rehna chah raha tha jo mumkin na tha.
Koi aadhe ghante baad sabhi dono jeep me sawaar hote hue bahar bane restra ki taraf aa chuke the. Yaha bhi Arjun sabki najro se anbhigya sa kuch der baad apni maa ko dekhne lagta tha jaise waha aur koi na ho aur is premi ki premika ko bhi uske hone ka pata na ho. Halke fulke khaane ke baad sabhi bahar nikal chale.
"Tum sabhi Quile pahucho hum bhi udhar he aate hai.", Mamta maami ne parking me aane ke sath he ye baat kahi chaaron bacho se aur pehle unki car, fir Swati aur Kanchan, aakhir me Arjun Somya ko sath liye ek baar fir nayi manzil ki taraf chal diye. 2-3 minute me he Arjun jaise Rekha ji ke sammohan se bahar nikalta ab apne peeche baithi Somya didi ke husn ko mehsoos karne laga tha.
"Aap naraj hai kya mujhse?, Arjun ki is baat par Somya ke sapaat chehre par halki khushi aa gai thi.
"Mujhe lag raha tha ke ye main tumse kahungi. kahi anjaane me shayad tumhe kuch galat na lag gaya ho isliye mujhse baat nahi kar rahe.", Somya ab rahat me dono hath Arjun par rakhti kehne lagi.
"Aisa toh nahi hai kuch. Woh bas jagah aisi thi jaise hum ghoomne ki jagah dhyaan lagane aaye ho. Aisi jagah sirf 2 he logo ko aana chahiye.", Arjun ne aakhiri pankti gehri muskaan ke sath kahi thi. Aaj uska mann chanchal ho chuka tha, shayad ye Somya ka uske sath itna kareeb aana aur fir uski maa ke jism ki chaah he wajah thi.
"Aisa hai toh fir tumhe yaha nirasha nahi hogi. Quile me mehal, bawdi, bagiche aur khandahar bahot hai. 2 log atche se ghoom sakte hai.", Somya ko jaha pehle ye lag raha tha ke woh jaldi kar rahi hai, wahi Arjun ka bhi uske prati aasakt hona jaankar woh khush ho gai thi. Matlab aag dono taraf barabar lagi thi. Is khayaal me woh kuch jyada he uski peeth se jaa lagi aur Arjun bhi apni peeth par woh 2 naram ubhaar dabte paa kar alag he uttejana me aa gaya tha. Koi 15 minute me ek baar fir dono he us jagah khade the jaha ek jirn haalat me unchi quile ki diwar thi. Lekin idhar ticket nahi thi aur kuch log andar aate jaate dikh rahe the. Pedd ke neeche motorcycle khadi karne ke baad dono he us khastahaal pravesh dwaar se andar aaye toh saamne he khuli jagah me baaki sabhi ko khade paya.
"aap kam se kam yaha toh intjaar mat kijiye. Sabhi ne dekha hua hai toh Arjun ko main he ghuma deti hu, jo pehle yaha nahi aaya.", Somya ne haq se ye baat baki sabke saamne kahi toh jaise 2 logo ko choddkar sabhi muskaan dete aashwast ho gaye the.
"Atchi baat hai na. Waise bhi humne sirf ye bagiche aur mehal ke samne kuch photo karne the aur wapis ghar jaana tha kyonki tumhare mausere nana-naani aa gaye honge. Aur fir kuch kapde silwane ke liye masterni ji ko bhi bulaya hua hai.", Pooja ji ne sab batane ke baad quile ki imaarat ke saamne sabhi ko khada kia aur camera swa-chalit system par karte hue khud bhi aa khadi hui unke pas. Ek tasvir utaarne ke baad unhone fir khud he 2-3 aur tasvire kheenchi.
"Chalo tumhara jaisa mann kare waise ghoom lo lekin samay se wapis aa jana.", Pooja ji ne apni devraniyo aur nanad ki aur kadam badhate hue bachon se kaha. Ye sabhi aurat mehal ki taraf badh rahi thi jo kuch behtar haalat me tha. Lekin Swati-Kanchan frooti peeti hui ek taraf ko upar jaati badhi seedhiya chadthi upar jaa rahi thi.
"Aao pehle hum mehal ke peeche bani bawdi aur sarovar ki taraf chalte hai. Ye jagah itni badi hai ke agar dhang se pata na ho toh ek dusre ko dhoondna mushkil ho jaye.", Somya ab Arjun ka hath thaame quile ke diwar ke sath chalti hui mehal ke barabar se jaa rahe raste par badh gai. Kahi kahi diwaro par ladka-ladki ke naam likhe the. Kuch log bagiche ke naam par sirf ghaas aur jhadiyo jaisi jagah par lage bench par baithe the. Jyadatar gaanv ke school ya sarkari college ke ladke aur kuch jode he the.
"Is jagah ko surakshit kyo nahi rakhte.? Haalat toh pehle se kharaab hai upar se log bhi yaha kachra kar rahe hai.", Arjun diwaro par koyle, kaali syahi se likhe woh naam, dil ke aakar ke chitra dekhta hua Somya se puch raha tha. Dono ab Mehal ki diwar se viprit jaate ek galiyare se gujar rahe the. Upar lambi chatt aur galiyara tang hone se halka andhera sa tha abhi is jagah.
"Kyonki ab ye jarurat se jyada kharaab haalat me hai. Lekin shayad mehal ka kuch jarur hoga kyonki waha ab saaf-safaai hone lagi hai aur chowkidar bhi rakh diye gaye hai.", Somya abhi 2 kadam aage he chal rahi thi ki saamne se kisi ko aata dekh diwar se satt kar ruk gai thi.
"Bhai chidiya toh ghani suthri le riha hai chorra. Maar na deve kade bhitar le jaa ke.", Ye shararti se 2 ladke school ki vardi me unke paas se fabtiya kaste gujre lekin Arjun muskurate hue unhe dekhne ke baad Somya ka haath thaam aage badh chala.
"Ye ganwaar bas yahi karne aate hai idhar. Logo ko pareshan karna aur awaragardi karna.", Somya ko bura laga tha unki bhasha sunkar.
"Kyo gussa karti aap? Wo gaye na?", Arjun ne narmi se baat kehte hue uska haath thaame rakha.
"Ok.", Somya ne bhi shaant hote hue kaha. Dono ab is pichle hisse me aa gaye the jaha khuli jagah thi aur ek taraf seedhiya bani thi. Jaise bahar wale bagiche ke pas thi.
"Ye seedhiya?", Arjun ne ishara karte hue poocha.
"Wahi hai jo bahar thi. yaha se bhi aana-jaana ho sakta hai lekin mujhe tumhare sath ye rasta thik laga, siwaye un ladko ki baat ke.", Somya muskura rahi thi aur ab uski baat sunkar Arjun bhi. Diwar ki kinare kuch jhaad kaafi unche ugg chuke the aur is kaafi khuli jagah peepal aur neem ke drakht bhi thi, ek prakritik diwar jaise. Dono ab ek hadd tak khulne ke baad yugal ki tarah har taraf dekhte aage chalne lage.
"ye hai bawdi. Waise toh ab poori tarah sookh chuki hai, lekin 30 seedhiya neeche hai ye.", Koi 100x60 feet ki ye jameen me gehri jaati bawdi atchi haalat me thi. Seedhiya jarur kaali-laal dikh rahi thi aur sath he 3 jode bhi idhar udhar kuch duri par waha baithe batiya rahe the lekin Arjun dhyaan se is jagah ko dekh raha tha.
"Ye aur bhi gehri rahi hogi. Dekho kaise mitti se band kia hua isko.", Arjun ne apna hath Somya ke kandhe par rakhte hue kaha. Dono he neeche dekh rahe the lekin Somya jaise Arjun ke sparsh ka poora lutf le rahi thi.
"Thik kehte ho. Lekin aisa bhi bahot pehle he kia hoga. Chalo agar neeche chalna hai toh thik hai nahi toh peeche sarovar ki taraf chalte hai. Udhar bhi seedhiya hai jo upar jaati hai aur waha se jungle ka najara bhi aata hai. Quile ke thik peeche khaai jo hai.", Somya ki baat par Arjun bhi baaki jodo ko unke haal par karte hue waha se Somya ke sath aage chal dia. Idhar kai raaste aage ki taraf jaa rahe the. Lekin Somya ne aakhir wale marg par badhte hue Arjun ka hath thoda sakhti se thaam lia tha. Ye bhi waisa he galiyara tha lekin mitti aur ghaas ki mehak thi andhere ke sath he.
"Darr nahi lagta?", Arjun ne itna he kaha tha ke Somya bilkul chipak kar he chalne lagi thi.
"Lagta hai thoda. Idhar sirf ek he baar aai hu, woh bhi Papa aur Maa ke sath. Tabhi toh kisi aur raste ko nahi chuna.", Apni baat kehne ke sath he woh Arjun ke gale lag gai.. "mere paanv ke upar se kuch gujra abhi.", Woh sach me he darr gai thi lekin Arjun ke seene me dabe uske ubhaar Arjun ko andar tak hila gaye the. Aaj jaise uska sanyyam uske saath na tha.
"Sirf lambi ghaans hai idhar. Daro mat mai hu sath me.", Arjun ne ek baar peeth sehlane ke baad apni baat Somya ki kamar ke gird lapet kar aahista aahista chalna shuru kia. Somya abhi bhi halki ghabrai hui thi lekin Arjun ka saath usko sukoon de raha tha.
"Ek baat kahu?", Dono he ab ek toote-footte sarovar ke paas aa gaye the. Charo kinaro par golakar patthar ke khambe aur beech me baarish ke tehre hue gande paani se bhara woh sarovar tha. Idhar bhi ye jagah koi 300 feet se jyada chaudi thi jaha ye 60-70 feet chauda sarovar beech me bana tha. Tabhi saamne khandhar me bane ek kamre jaise bhaag par Arjun ki najar gai.
Koi 27-28 saal ka vyakti ek sarkari school ki ladki ki pajami neeche kiye hue jaise milan ke liye jabardasti mana raha tha. Kameej ko ek hath se dabaye woh ladki dusre haath se apni pajami ka ek sira pakde thi. Ye sab Arjun se kuch kadam dur sarovar ke us paar ho raha tha.
"Kya hua?", Somya ne Arjun ko aise shant khade dekh poocha lekin Arjun hath chudata bas us taraf chal dia.
.
.
"Tumne kaha tha ke Ravi ne yaha bulaya hai. Ab tum thik nahi kar rahe mere sath. Mujhe jaane do, main kisi ko kuch nahi kahungi.", Wo ladki abhi jaise paripakva na thi lekin ye aadmi jaise usko majbur kar raha tha.
"Ravi se jyada maje dunga. Nakhre na kar aur bas ya salwar nikaad de. 10 minute baad chali jaio nahi toh fir dekh main teri khabar saare gaam me bata dunga.", Kameej ke upar se he ladki ka chota sa ubhaar woh bedardi se dabate hue salwar ko neeche karwane me safal ho gaya tha lekin ab ladki ki aankhon me aansu the aur woh chaah kar bhi cheekh nahi rahi thi.
"Darr na ri, Ravi ne thodi bera paatega. Ar ek baar chaska laag gya toh khud mere dhor aake chudwavegi tu.", Aadmi ka hath uski jaangho ki taraf pahucha he tha ke jordaar laat uski kamar me lagi.
"Balatkaar kar raha hai kamine is naa-samajh ka? Mushkil se ## saal ko hogi abhi aur tu khud ko dekh.", Arjun ka prahaar itna tej tha ke sar par khoon aane ke bawjood woh aadmi peit pakad kar jameen pe leta tadaf raha tha. Diwar se sar jyada he jor se takrya tha kyonki iske liye woh tayaar jo nahi tha.
"Gudiya ye kapde pehno aur bahar jao. Darna matt is jaise aadmi se kabhi aur iski harkat ghar pe jarur batana.", Woh ladki bhi jaise sadme me he thi is ghatnakram se lekin khud ke nanga hone ka aabhas hote he jaldi se salwar upar chadhati woh bina ruke bahar nikal bhaagi.
"Bada maja aa raha tha aise ek ladki ko majbur karne me tujhe? Chal ab main jaleel karunga tujhe aur fir khud mehsoos karna ke izzatt jaane par kaisa mehsoos hota hai.", Mooh par thokar maarne ke sath he Arjun ne 2-3 tej prahaar chaati par kiye. Us vyakti ki cheekh is viraane me pehli baar jor se gunji. Iske sath he 10 kadam peeche khadi Somya hairaan si jadd ho kar us jagah khadi bas dekh rahi thi ki kya ho raha hai.
Arjun ne us aadmi ki kameej poori tarah se faadte hue jism se alag kar di thi aur kuch pal baad he patloon bhi jism se juda ho kar Arjun ke hatho me thi. Kacha nahi pehna tha jis wajah se ab woh maadarjat nagan awastha me hath jode gidgida raha tha.
"Bhai re. Chodd de maine aur mere kapde dede. Waa chorri meri saali laage hai lekin mere teh galti ho gai. Aainda kuch na karunga lekin kapde dede re.", Uski gidgidahat ke sath kabool ki hui sachaai sunkar Somya ko maajra samajh me aaya ke yaha kya hua hoga aur woh ladki jo bhaagti nikli uski wajah kya thi.
"Is nunni ko liye tu mard bana fir raha tha kya? Mard yaha se nahi insaan apne dil aur himmat se hota hai. Ab pada reh yaha aur tere kapde sarovar se nikal lena agar waha tak jaa sake toh.", Arjun peeche muda he tha ke Somya najar aa gai. Woh ab apne vyvahar aur is mahol par thoda jhemp gaya tha.
"Tumne kuch galat nahi kia. Aise insaan ke sath yahi hona chahiye tha.", Neeche gire us aadmi ko dhikkarti Somya bhi Arjun ke sath bahar nikal chali. Usko bada naaj tha is insaan par jisko pehle woh pasand kar chuki thi lekin ab is ghatna se woh uske dil me bas gaya tha. Lekin idhar Arjun fir se ek besabrapan mehsoos kar raha tha apne sharir me. Kyo aaj uska sharir ye daga kar raha tha? Kyo aaj uska dhyaan bhi kaam nahi aa raha tha.? Jism ki chaah ne besabar kar dia tha us insaan ko jisme sayyam he bhara tha aaj se pehle.
