Bhai ye aapka pyaar hai Jo ek tarah se aap bhi shamil ho is kahani ke safar me. Atcha lagta hai.
bhai jab kuchh dil ko achhha lagta hai to pyar to apne aap hi ho jata hai aur fir apne area ke pandato aur jaton ki bate ho to lagav bhi ho hi jata hai

Update 47
Pandit Ji Ka Pariwar
Koi 5 baje darwaje par awaaj hui toh Renuka kasmasati si uthi aur fir Arjun ke sath he apne nirvastra hone ka aabhas hote he chaadar uske sharir par daal woh khud ko bhi darwaje par tangi maxi se dhak darwaje ki taraf badhi. Sharir me abhi tak raat ki masti ke pramaan aur uttejana thi. Darwaje ko halka sa khol bahar dekha toh Preeti ko muskurate paya...
(Renuka)
"Bua Arjun ko utha dijiye aur dusre kamre me kariye. Daadu 5:30 baje uth jaate hai.", Bina he andar najar daale Preeti ne unhe muskurate hue dheemi awaaj me chetaya.
"Tu soi nahi thi iska matlab? Aur main inhe abhi bolti hu.", Preeti se bhi woh apne jism ko chupati najre neechi karti boli.
"Mujhe toh jaagna he tha kyonki 4 baje aap log soye toh fir bina jagaye toh uthne wale nahi the. Aur 'inhe' nahi Arjun ko uthaiye. Yaha mai bhi khadi hu.", Purvavat he woh muskurati boli toh Renuka ne sharmate hue darwaja band karne se pehle gardan hila di.
"uth kar dusre kamre me chaliye. 5 baj chuke hai.", Pyaar se Arjun ko hilate unhone jagaya toh woh nanga he angdaai leta uth gaya. Saamne muskurati Renuka ko dekh Arjun ne bas gaal ko chooma aur 2 minute me he apne raat wale kapde joote pehan kar woh bahar aa gaya. Drawing room me paani ka gilas liye khadi Preeti ko apne kharede hue kapdo me dekh gilas ko table par rakh dia.
"Itni subah aaj fir bijli chamak rahi hai.", Uski choti nikkar aur us baniyan si tshirt me chipke sharir ko ek baar bharpoor dekh wo bina kisi parwah ke Preeti ki kamar ko pakad gardan par mooh laga baitha. Bindas rehne wali Preeti andar tak hil gai jab Arjun ke sharir ka aabhas apne seene aur kati-pradesh par hua. Arjun ne aise he gale lagaye uske maathe ko chooma tabhi dhadkan kuch shant hui aur jab tak Preeti ki chetna wapis aati woh ja chuka tha. Aankhen band kiye bas woh waise he khadi rahi.
(Preeti)
"Wo ja chuka hai Preeti.", Kamre se raat ki kahani batati chaadar ko uthaye Renuka ji ne pichle aangan ki taraf jaate hue usko hilate kaha toh woh najar jhukati seedha apne kamre me daud gai jaha Tara ek takiye ko dabaye Preeti ki nikkar-tshirt me besudh padi thi.
'Ye bhi na. Jab aise karta hai bina kuch bataye toh jaane kyon haath-paanv kaam karne band kar dete hai. Chalo ek baat toh samajh aa gai.' Khud se baat karti woh ek bar muskurai aur fir peeche se Tara se lipat kar so gai. Saari raat toh bas pehra he deti rahi thi bas.
.
.
Arjun bhi apne ghar se tayaar hone ke baad is suhani subah bina aur neend liye aaj park ki taraf nikal gaya tha. Aacharya ji se milne aur unse baatein karne. Waha dono bade sneh se mile aur unhone bahut sa adhyatimik gyaan aur samaaj ke jaruri bhaag usko samjhaye. Lekin wahi dusri taraf kuch aur he najara tha.
.
.
"Aapki aisi haalat kaise hui foofaji?", Byaah se baraat jab nikalne lagi thi toh ek Sumo gaadi me apne baap ke sath baitha Anurag jab sath me baithe Abhimanyu se poochne laga toh uske chacha ke sath baap ka dhyan bhi Abhimanyu ke sooje hue gaal, fate honth aur naak par gaya.
"Uncle ji mai chodunga nahi us harami ladke ko." Agli seat par baithe Vijaypratap se mukhatib hote hue usne ye baat kahi toh thoda hairan ho kar unhone beech wali seat par baithe Abhimanyu ka chehra ek baar dekha fir chup ho gaye.
"Baat kya hai jamaai ji? Thoad vistar se bataye aur aisa konsa ladka paida ho gaya jo hamre ghar ki ijjat par hath daal gaya?", Ye the Anurag ke pita Ajaypratap, ek 60 saal ke prabhavshali vyakti.
"Jo ladka waha shadi me tha Renuka ke sath, wo pehalwan sa. Uski ha rishta Renuka ki bhatiji se hua hai. Saale ne mujhe nashe me dekh kar mere sath aisa kia nahi toh mai usko chatti ka doodh yaad dila deta. Haa nahi toh.", Wo khokhla he fufkaar raha tha.
"Baat kya hai Vijay? Jara samjhaoge. Tumhe dekh kar lagta hai ke jaise sab jaante hue bhi chup ho. Ye bahut bade apmaan ki baat hai.", Waha sabhi gaadiyon me baaki rishtedar aur dulha-dulhan baith rahe the idhar ye thoda alag baithe the apni alag gaadi me.
"Bhai sahab mujh se bhi galti hui hai lekin main kabul kar chuka hu aur maafi maang chuka hu. Ye jamaai ji jis ladke ki baat kar rahe hai woh Pandit Rameshwar ji ka chota pota hai aur aapke suputra Anurag toh unke ghar ki honewali bahu ko haansil karne ki firak me hai." Itna bolkar najre jhuka li Vijaypratap ne. Yaha ab koi sharaab nahi thi bas paschatap tha. "Aap bhi mujhe maaf kar dijiye" unhone bas itna kaha aur saamne dekhne lage.
"Woh sala koi bhi ho lekin mai uska bura haal jarur karunga.", gurrata hua Abhimanyu itna he bola tha ke gehri soch me doobe Ajaypratap ne kass ke gale par tamacha jadd dia.
"Tum hamare jamaai ho isliye ye baat keh gaye ho tum. Hum apne pariwar ko hifajat se rakhna chahte hai aur agar tumhari wajah se isme koi pareshani aai toh hum rishta khatam karne me pal bhar nahi lagayenge.", Ek sard lehje me unhone itna kaha aur fir khud he uska collar thik karte apna rumaal Abhimanyu ke gaal par rakh dia jisko sehamte hue usne gaal par chipka lia.
"Papa, ye sab is shehar me itna darte kyon hai is insaan ke naam se? Jisko dekho woh unki baat par sar jhuka deta hai. Aap jaante hai kya inke baare me?", Anurag bhi ab thoda seham gaya tha aur atche se jaan-na chahta tha ke wo dushmani le toh pehel pata toh ho ki aukaat hai bhi ya nahi. Waise toh samajh aa chuka tha ke filhal woh bebas he tha.
"Beta inke baare me 40 saal me mai sabkuch jaanta hu. Bas mulakaat bahot kam he hui ya yu kaho ke jarurat ke samay he hui. Pandit ji.. " Is naam ko lekar Ajaypratap ek pal ke liye gehri soch me doob gaye.
"Aaj bhi yaad hai jab woh thana-incharge the hamre shehar me, jo us samay kasba he hota tha. Hamara ghar pas me tha thaane ke aur Pandit ji toh apne roj ke niyam se sabhi ke thaane me samasya hal karte the. Shaam ko ghode par he kasbe me gasht dete dikh jaate the aur chote kya bade kya, sabhi unki izzat karte aur woh bhi sadak par he sabse prem-purvak milte the. Fir waha se tabadla hone ke baad woh agle shehar chale gaye, DSP ke auhde par. Halke ke takriban 200 gaanv me woh 2 saal me he prachalit ho gaye the. Apne anushashit jiwan, gaanv-valo ki samasyaye dur karne ki wajah se aur apne he police vibhag me sabhi karmiyon ke bachon ki shiksha muft me uplabdh karwa kar. Mukhyamantri ne unki ye maang ek hafte me poori karwa di thi. Pandit ji toh chor-uchakko ko bhi samjhate the aur madad karte the sahi insaan me badalne ki. Unhi dino ki baat hai ki unke ghanisht mitra aur jaane maane jamindar Raghubir Singh Gujjar ke pariwar par ek bada humla hua tha. Jameen-mandir ka vivaad tha aur mere pitaji bhi unke atche sampark me the.
Maamle ki jaanch karne khud Pandit ji aaye the aur kuch atche bade logo par unhone dabish bhi kar di thi. Naam bade the toh dabaav bhi bada aa gaya unpar. Lekin case ko suljhane ki jagah us se hatt jane ka. Khud unke senior adhikari Rathod ne unka tabadala Rajasthan ke sath lagte shehar me karwa dia. Pandit ji tabadale se pehli raat ko Raghubir Singh ke ghar, jo ki us samay ke hisab se kahi mehal he tha me baithe the aur mere pitaji bhi wahi the aur 3-4 ghanisht logo ke sath." Ajaypratap ne saans lete hue kehna jaari rakha jisko ab ye dono bhi sun rahe the.
"2 aur bade pariwar hote the us samay. Ramehar Singh Gujjar aur Sombir Singh, jinhone Raghujbir ke bade bete ko maar diye the aur factory me aag laga kar koi 15-16 majduro ko jinda jalwa dia tha. Raghubir ka bas ek beta aur beti bach paye the. Aur ye 2 apraadhik pariwar sarkar ke bheetar atchi paith rakhte the, apne paise aur taqat ke boote par. Jis samay waha ghar ke aangan me baatein ho rahi thi, Rammehar Singh aur uske dono bete waha aaye the, kehne ko woh mamla suljhane aaye the lekin saajis thi unki ye sab. Unke peeche he Sombir Singh aur uske 4 bete aur 6-7 khas pehalwan pas me he the. Jo unke liye ek tarah se suraksha chakra ka kaam dene aaye the. Baat sahi ja rahi thi ki Raghubir ne unhe maaf karne ke badle pradesh chodd kar jaane ki baat keh di jis par Pandit ji ne bhi unka samarthan dia. Baaki nafe-nuksaan ki baatein pehle ho chuki thi. Lekin Sombir Singh ke bade bete Fateh Singh ne josh me Pandit ji par goli chala di jo shayad sahi nishane na lagi aur kandhe ko cheerti nikal gai.
Is achanak humle se Raghubir Singh ke aadmiyon ne jawabi hamla kar dia jisme Sombir aur Rammehar toh bhaag khade hue lekin uska chota beta maar dia gaya. Sab taraf awaaj gai thi goliyon ke chalne ki toh log-baag bhi aa gaye the aur chunki Raghubir singh atcha aadmi tha toh ek tarah se woh yaha ka anndata he tha. Pandit ji ko hospital le jaya gaya lekin jyada khoon behne se woh achet ho gaye the.
Baat kai sheharo me pahuch gai thi jabki un dino itna toh telephone ya khabre nahi hoti thi. Lekin unke sabhi chahne wale logo ko bada jhatka laga tha. Police ne bhi mukkaddma darja karte hue dabav me kuch awara mujrimo ko he pakda. Raghubir Singh par bhi unhone hath nahi dala tha kyonki khoon ka iljaam unke aadmi ne apne sar par le lia tha.
Tum soch rahe hoge ke mai konsi filmi kahani batane laga hu. Lekin suno, tabhi tumhe samajh aayega ke pariwar kya hota hai aur Pandit ji ke chahne wale kon log hai.
"Is ghatna ke baad Pandit ji ke 2 bete najar me aaye the. Ek baar jab woh hospital me apne pita ke sath jab band kamre me rahe. Jinhone ne kuch pehchaan wale police ke logo se bhi mulaqaat ki thi. Lagbhag 20-22 saal ke wo dono mujh se us samay 10 saal chote honge. Fir unhe ek din baad dekha gaya tha Raghubir Singh ke ghar, jahan mere pita ke anusar unhone har baat ko atche se samjha aur salah mashvara kia tha. Dono bhaiyon ne koi madad na li thi unse aur apne pita ki tarah he unka bhi bada pyaar tha is pariwar ke sath. Baat toh yaha tak thi ki Pandit ji ke bade bete ke liye ladki Raghubir Singh ne he pakki kari thi. Agle 3 din tak shaanti thi Pradesh me aur Pandit ji ko hospital se chutti milne ke baad 15 din ka araam dia gaya tha. 3 din ke baad Sombir singh ke chaaron bete sadak par kuchle pade mile the. Unki jeep gaanv-dhaani ke bahar un sabki laasho se 20 kadam dur jali hui halat me mili thi. Dekhne walo ka kehna ha ki sirf sar he salamat the baaki toh uthane layak bhi nahi bacha tha. Iske peeche kon tha thik se kehna mushkil tha, aisa police ka jawaab tha. Sombir aur Ramehar ke dabav me Pandit ji ke beto ke baare jankari li gai toh woh begunaah nikle the, ye bhi police ka he kehna tha. Lekin iske baad jo hua woh kuch aisa tha ki ek baar ke liye Police ne bhi hath khade kar diye the. Jis mandir aur Jameen par kabja kia gaya tha, Sombir-Ramehar dwara waha par poore pariwar ke mardo ki laashen bichi padi mili thi. Sath me he unke sarkar me kareebi 3 Saansad aur parshad vyaktiyon ki. 16 log ek jagah par kaat diye gaye the aur bataya jata hai ke us samay itni laasho ke liye lakdiya bhi kam padd gai thi. Pichli baar ki tarah Pandit ji ka beta is baar bhi apne college ke hostel aur kaksha me upasthith tha, us samay ke inspector Nirmal Singh ki report me ye bataya gaya tha. Lekin gaanv me sabko pata tha ke wahi vyakti tha is sabke peeche apne bhai aur Raghubir Singh ke bete ke sath. Is ghatna ke baad SP Rathod ki beti bhi 2 din tak gayab rahi thi aur fir unhone apna tabadala khud he karwa lia tha us shehar se.
Pandit ji ne thik hone ke baad he apna karyabhar sambhal lia tha lekin unhe is case par kabhi aane he nahi dia gaya tha. Kaha jata he ke police ke adhikariyon ko pata tha ke Pandit ji shayad apne beto ko bhi andar daalne se peeche nahi hatenge. Lekin is ghatna ke baad unhone police me rehte hue bahot sewa ki agle 10 saalo tak. Unke dwara sthapit kai trust ab police aur suraksha seva dene wale pradesh ke yuvako ki madad karte hai. Matlab itna hai ke system me rehne wale ye vyakti Haryana ban-ne ke baad se he Police vibhag ki ek majboot jadd hai jo aaj bhi naye bharti hue HPS, IPS ko salah mashwara dete dikh jayenge. Aur ek badi baat hai inke peeche, Maharaja Balwinder Singh ke munshi inke pitaji Motilal Sharma ji the, toh jameen-jaydaad bharpoor hone ke bawjood ye ek sadharan zindagi wale vyakti hai."
Ajaypratap ab bahar ki taraf ugte suraj ko dekhne lage the. Abhimanyu ki toh fatt ke chaar ho chuki thi ki 20 logo ke maar dene wale vyakti ko bhi police he surksha de rahi thi uske baap se. Anurag har baat par gor kar raha tha.
"Bhai sahab Dr. Shankar ka khauf Pandit ji ke naam se kahi jyada hai ye bhi jara atche se samjha do inhe. Wo Col Puri ne toh khud kaha tha jab hum sabhi baithe the unke maykhaane me.", Vijaypratap ki baat sunkar Ajaypratap muskura diye.
"Wo Doctor atcha hai Vijay aur Col ko apna baap maanta hai. Dekha nahi dono jigari bhi hai jo ek gilas me he pee lete hai.", Shankar Sharma aur Col sahab ka rishta yaad karte hue Ajaypratap fir se gambhir ho gaye.
"Beta wo ladki Shankar ki bahu banegi aur agar thoda bhi tum samjhe ho toh bas dur he rehna. Jamaai ji mujhe lagta hai aap bhi aisa kuch nahi karoge. Nahi toh ye Shankar naam ka he nahi kaam se bhi Mahadev hai. Pandit ji ne zindagi me sirf ek baar he apne auhdhe ka prayog kia tha, Col Puri ko saaf sabit karne ke liye lekin Shankar ne jo bhi 3 Army me Puri ke samkaksh the sabhi ko swarg bhej dia tha, unpar galat aarop lagane ke jurm me. Aajkal woh shaant hai kyonki ghar me unka bhatija Sanjeev ab sab sambhal raha hai. Aur mai abhi ye bata du ki Sanjeev Pandit ji aur Shankar ka mishran hai. Tum ab yahi se nikal jao Jamaai ji aur mere bache ko ye salah-mashwara dena toh dur iske aaspas bhi nahi dikhna. Anurag ab tum mere aur apne chacha ke sath he kaam karoge.", Apne shehar ke ek chownk par he gaadi rukwate hue unhone is ujali subah Abhimanyu ko tiraskar bhari najro se dekhte hue ghar se pehle he utaar dia jo mooh latka ke apni raah nikal lia.
.
.
"Dadaji, aaj maine ek naya paath padha Shashtri ji se.", Arjun jab ghar aaya toh waise he apne dada ji ko baithe paya bagiche me. Col sahab ke sath kursi par chai peete hue. Aaj woh deri se gaya tha aur aaya bhi 7 baje tha.
"Toh fir hume bhi batao bhai ke kya seekha jis se humko bhi kuch faayeda ho.", Col sahab ne ye baat kahi udhar Pandit ji ne apni dharampatni ko doodh ke liye awaaj laga di. Arjun neeche ghas par baith kar joote khol raha tha.
"Chote daadu unhone aaj bataya Nar-Narayan ke baare me. Aur kisi vyakti ka charitra samajhne ki prakriya. Aur ek aadha paath padhaya apni indriyon ko jaagrit karne ke baare me.", Dono bujurg muskurahat ke sath usko dekh rahe the. Fir Pandit ji chai ka cup baint ke stool par rakhte hue bolne lage.
"Beta ye bada he gehan sabak hai. Mujhe toh laga tha ke tum iske liye tayaar nahi ho abhi. Nar jo ki ek devtulya vyakti thi aur Narayan bhagwan unke param mitra. Aage jara tum batao agar maine thik kaha hai toh.", Puri sahab bhi ab jara dhyaan se sun-ne lage the. Unko bhi ye vartalaap dilchasp hoti dikhne lagi thi.
"Ha dadaji. Thik samjhe aap is baat ko. Nar-Narayan ko hamesha ek sath lia jata hai jaise sharir aur aatma. Hum sharir dekh sakte hai jo ki apne aap me ek aboojh paheli hai aur rehasyo se bhara hai. Jiski seema koi nahi jaan paya aur hum bina he isko atche se jaane Narayan, yani ki aatma ko dekhne ki itcha rakhte hai. Jo ki kisi haal me mumkin nahi. Daadu aap jo batane wale the woh tha pauranik ullekh aur mai thoda alag bata raha hu." Arjun ne Pandit ji ki aankhon me dekha toh unhone sehmati me sar hila dia.
"Haan. Mai toh iske baad tumhe Nar-Narayan ke Arjun-Krishna ka varnan karta. Lekin tum mujhe wo bata rahe ho jo vastvikta hai."
"Haan bhai sahab ye jo batane laga hai woh main bhi samajhna chahta hu." Col sahab ni bhi jigyasa dikhai.
"Toh suniye aap bhi." Ek baar apni daadi ko wahi kursi par doodh ka gilas aur 2 laddu liye dekh fir Arjun aage bolne laga.
"Ye sharir bahot jatil hai aur iski kshamta itni hai ki hum jaan nahi sakte. Pauranik udaharan ko sath me rakh ke baat karen toh Arjun ke samkaksh dhanurdhar koi nahi tha. Maanta hu aap kahenge Karan aur Eklavya lekin sahi maayne me woh bhi nahi the. Arjun ka sabse majboot paksh tha ke woh sharir ko samajhta tha aur iski kshamta ko nirdharit karta tha saamne wale ke anusar. Chahe woh Dronacharya ke saamne, chahe fir Devraj Indra ke saath yudh me ya fir swayam Narayan ke he samkaksh. Eklavya jahan ek lakshya se bas dhanurdhar he ban-na chahta tha bina yudh abhyaas ke wahi Karan ko ghamand tha apne kavach aur devik shiksha par. Koi bhi apne Nar-Narayan ke talmel me sahi nahi tha.
"Ab mai wapis aata hu vastvikta par. Bahri sharir ko samajhne ke baad prakriya hoti hai narottam hone ki. 5 indriyon ko kaabu karne ki nahi toh agar hum inke kahe chalne lage toh Narayan milne se rahe Nar bhi khatam ho jayega. Nayan, Jivha, Kaan, Naak aur tvacha, yahi pramukh 5 indriyan hai lekin inhe kaabu karne ke baad aati hai chatti indri. Aabhas. Jaise Arjun ka gandiv jisme kabhi teer khatam nahi hote the. Aise he hai Aabhas jo sharir ko Aatama ya Narayan ke pas le jata hai." Ruk kar doodh peete aur laddu khaate hue Arjun aas-pas bhi dekh raha tha. Fir khada ho kar chui-mui ke paudhe ke pas gaya aur ek patti ko hatha lagaya. Wo simat gai.
"Dekhiye ye sirf choone se simat gai jo ki iski visheshta hai lekin ye agli patti ko dekhiye." Arjun ne uske sath waali ke bilkul pas he ungli ki thi ki woh simat gai.
"aabhas. Kudrat ne humko ye janam si milta hai lekin jaise he hum woh sab seekhte hai jo duniya ya samaaj me prachalit hai hum swayam ko kho kar bas wahi bante hai jaisa sab batate hai. Aur ye galat toh nahi lekin fir bhi ek avrodh ban jata hai. Yog matlab jodd. Shrir ka aatma se milan he toh Nar-Narayan hua na dadaji, Yog bhi." laddu ko khaate hue woh ab apne dadaji ko dekhne laga jo nishabdh the is chote ladke ke saamne.
"Waah beta badi gyaan ki baat kari tumne toh. Mere bhai sahab bhi pehli baar itni gehri soch me hai.", Puri sahab ne itna kaha toh Rameshwar ji muskura kar unhe dekhne lage.
"Satish, ye baat bahot gehri hai aur mujhe itna pata hai ke abhi bhi isne vistar se nahi batai. Lekin iska agla sabak bhi sath he juda hai. Kisi insaan ko samajhna ya charitra jaan-na.", Ab Arjun hairani se unhe dekhne laga tha.
"Wo jab ye aabhas shabd mere kaano me gunja toh apne police ke din yaad aa gaye. Varsho ki mehnat se ek pal me he kisi ka charitra jaan lete the. Aur agar iski baat ko samajha jaye toh jo vyakti khud ko jaan leta hai fir woh itna saksham ho jata hai ke saamne wale ko khud he apna vyaktitva ka raaj ugalana padta hai. Jab isne kaha tha ke Arjun ne Indra se yudh kia tha, devraj ko bhi apni saari shaktiyan prayog karni pad gai thi lekin Arjun ke saamne unke koi astra-vidhya kaam nahi aai thi. Unka atcha bura sabhi vyaktitva ujagar ho gaya tha kyonki saamne wala toh apni kshamta ko samajh chuka tha lekin Indra khud apne ahankaar me the. Aapka charitra saaf aur majboot ho toh fir boore insaan bhi buraai kabool kar ke saamne aa jaate hai." Rameshwar ji ki baat sateek thi.
"Jaise ki aap Dadaji. Shastri ji ne ye sabak aapke naam par he mujhe dia ki aapka vyaktitva kitna vishal hai lekin fir bhi aap apne us daayre me he rehte ho jo aapko atcha lagta hai aur kisi aur ko is se peeda nahi hoti. Unhone mujhe ye bhi kaha ki aabhas-purvbhaas agar koi vyakti unse behtar jaanta hai woh aap hai. Aur aapne apni 5 indriyon ko atche se samajhne ke baad he ye daayra banaya hai jisme ek tarah se aap raja se sirf ek aam grihasth vyakti he reh gaye hai, apni marji se." Rameshwar ji ne aakhen band kar li thi itna sunkar aur Col sahab ne unke hath par apna haath rakh dia tha.
"Chal ab uth tu yaha se aur chal ke naha.", Kaushalya ji dapat kar boli Arjun se.
"Ruko beta. Ek chota sa sabak sanjha kar du fir tum chale jana." Ek baar Kaushalya ji ko dekh kar unhone Arjun ko bithate hue sar pe hath fera.
"Hum jivan me andhere se prakash ki taraf bhaagte hai. Is se andhera dur nahi hota sirf jagah badal jaati hai. Maine apna poora prayas kia tha lekin mai us andhkaar ki gehraai ko saaf na kar saka. Jin logo se mujhe ummeed thi unhe shayad mujh se itna adhik pyaar tha ke woh andhere-ujaale me farak tak bhool gaye. Agar ye daayra chota na karta toh mujhe aabhas tha ke fir kuch nahi bachega. Ek vinash se bhare raj-paat se atcha 2 kamro ka wo ghar hota hai jo rahgir aur pariwar ka bhala kare. Aur sach kahu mujhe tumse koi aisi ummeed nahi hai ke tum samaaj me badi hasti bano ya fir daulat ka ambaar khada kar do. Bas woh insaan bano jo khud ko samjhe, sach ka sath de aur ho sake toh jaruratmand ki bhalai kare. Fir chahe tum jo bhi bano koi parwah nahi. Anushasan aur Prem ye bas 2 he sutra hai jindagi ke. Aur toh mai tumhe kuch de nahi sakta." Unki baat par Arjun ne dadaji ke paanv chuu kar bas sar haan me hilaya aur andar daud gaya.
"Bhai sahab, aapne kabhi galat nahi kia aur aapki aulaad ne bhi. Bas aapke laadle ko wahi samajh aata hai jo shayad usne aapke dil me mehsoos kia ho. Shankar ka pyaar aapke liye saaf hai lekin mai jaanta hu ke pyaar ke sath he aapko us se shikayat bhi hai.", Col sahab ne unki baah dabata hue unse ye baat kahi toh woh bas muskura diye. Lekin Kaushalya ji bol uthi.
"devar ji mai bilkul sehmat hu aapse. Wo sher hai aur usne seekha bhi inse hai ke pariwar ke liye sabkuch karo bas ye bhool jata hai ke uska jungle ka dayra ab char-diwari me hai aur yaha ab raaj nahi hota." Baat kehti wo apne patidev ki taraf ek nigah daalti andar chal di.
"Yar Satish, khud he dekh le tu ab. Sher agar dusre shero ka shikar karna shuru kar de toh santulan nahi rehta upar se uski sherniyon ki tadad lambi hai jo kabhi kabhi mujhko aabhas karati hai ke anhoni na ho jaye. Mere toh haath khade hai tu he baat kar ke dekh apne laadle se. Chal aaja andar khana khaate hai. Renuka ko mai abhi bulwa leta hu aaj meri beti mere pas rahegi." Unko sath liye woh andar aa gaye jaha Arjun bas naha kar bahar toliya sukane ja raha tha.
"Barkhurdar, apni bua aur Preeti ko nashte ke liye bula lao.", Arjun unki baat sunkar apne kamre me chal dia, kapde pehan-ne.
.
.
Sab waise he ho raha tha jaise roj hota tha. Nashta karke Arjun aaj 9 baje he library chal dia tha. Ghar pe thodi raunak thi aaj Renuka aur Preeti ki wajah se. Maadhuri didi bhi charch ka vishaya thi jo sabhi behno aur Renuka bua-Preeti ke sath upar Tara ke kamre me baithi thi. Rekha ji aur Lalita ji rasoighar me saaf-safai me lagi thi. Tara scootry par khud he company jaa chuki thi.
.
.
"mubarak ho Maadhuri rishta pakka hone ki khushi me.", Renuka ji vyavasthith saree me muskurati hui sofe par baithi thi aur unki baat par Maadhuri didi sharam se muskura rahi thi.
"waise aapne toh bataya nahi kuch hone wala jiju ke baare me?", Preeti ne bister par Alka didi ke sath baithe hue unse kaha toh woh kuch der chupchap muskurati rahi.
"Gorav naam hai unka aur Punjab ke ####### shehar me Excise officer hai. Abhi toh shagan-tilak kia hai. September me sagaai aur fir November me shaadi hai. Aur toh jyada pata nahi baaki gharwale unke pariwar ko atche se jaante hai." Maadhuri didi ne jitna pata tha bata dia.
"Aur unhone toh Komal ko bhi pasand kia tha lekin chacha ji ne mana kar dia.", Unki baat par Komal didi muskura uthi.
"Waah ye toh atcha ho jata.", Aarti ne itna kaha toh Renuka ji beech me bol padi.
"Behne devrani-jethani ban jaati toh dono rishtey sambhal nahi paati. Atchi baat hai ke mana kar dia.", Unki baat par Aarti sar khujane lagi thi.
"Sanjeev ki bhi baat chali kya kahin?", Renuka ji waise he jikra kar dia.
"Bhaiya ka rishta toh pehle he pakka kia hua hai dadaji ne. Ek he din shaadi hai hum dono ki.", Maadhuri didi ki baat par Ritu aur Alka ek dusre ko dekhne lagi toh Komal didi hansti hui boli.
"Haan ye baat sirf kuch he logo ko pata hai, ghar me bhi sabko nahi bataai gai thi. Sanjeev bhaiya ne bhi pichle he saal haan keh di thi.", Komal didi ke batane par Ritu unhe choonti kaatne lagi
(Ritu)
"Ab ye bhi bata do ki kahi hum sabka he toh pehle se rishta nahi pakka kia hua. Kal fir achanak kahi bol de ke falane se tumhari pakki kar chuke hai." Alka jaise sadme me boli toh Renuka ji ke sath he Maadhuri aur Priyanka bhi jor se hans di.
"Ek aur hai yaha jiska rishta pehle he pakka kia ja chuka hai lekin ... bas unki maa ko ye baat abhi nahi bataai gai hai.", Renuka ji ki baat ka ishara samajhte hue sabhi Preeti ko dekhne lage jo buri tarah se Ritu didi se chipak gai thi.
"Aur agar us ladki ki maa ne aitraaj kia toh fir?", Alka ki baat par Ritu ne aankh maarte hue jawaab dia.
"Fir toh bua rishta nahi hoga." is baat par Preeti sherni si bhadak gai
"Wahi hoga jaha pakka kia hai. Maa bhi meri is ghar me he rehti hai." fir sabko hanste dekh wapis Ritu ke peeche sar chupa lia.
"Haaye re. Ye toh bagawat wali nikali. Hum toh isko bholi-bhali samajhte the.", Alka ki baat par poora kamra hansi ki awaaj se goonj gaya tha lekin Priyanka aur Aarti thoda sochne bhi lagi thi ki ye baat kis taraf ja rahi hai. Lekin chup he rahi.
"Waise bua aapne kuch socha? dusre ke baare me. Ab toh chance lena chahiye aapko.", Maadhuri didi ki baat ko samajhte hue unka chehra thoda laal ho gaya tha.
"Haan is baar koshish hai. Chalo tum log baatein karo mujhe jagah do sone ke liye. Fir dopahar ke khaane ke baad toh mai Tauji-Taaiji ke pas rehne wali hu sham tak." Wo uthne lagi bed ki taraf aati toh Preeti ne unhe rok dia.
"Bua ye saamne wala kamra hai na. Aap wahi araam karo hum log yahi baithi hai aur wo bister naram bhi hai.", Preeti ki is baat par Ritu thoda hansne lagi toh Preeti ne unki gardan aise sehla di jaise Arjun karta tha. 'aahh.. mat kar' dabi awaaj me unhone kaha idhar Renuka ji is kamre me aai toh samajh gai ke ye kiska kamra hai. Darwaja dhaal kar woh itminaan se bister par baith kar kamre ko dekhne lagi. Fir chaadar ko baahon me leti woh lait gai jaise Arjun ki baahon me ho.
"Agla number Priyanka ka hai. Daadi bata rahi thi ki ek jagah ladka dekha hai lekin garmiyon ki chuttiyon me baat karenge.", Maadhuri didi ki baat par toh Priyanka ke royen khade ho gaye. Dil me bas ek he naam sunaai dia 'Arjun'. Aur bas woh fir se shaant ho gai.
"Main toh karne wali nahi bhai. Jo bhi kehta rahe lekin shaadi toh karungi nahi aur apne sapne poore karungi." Alka ne farmaan suna dia tha jiske samarthan me hamesha ki tarah Ritu sath thi.
"Shaadi nahi karegi? Ye kaise mumkin hai?", Aarti ki baat par Ritu ne jawaab dia.
"Kyon? Ye khoob padhegi, iske bahot sapne hai. Fir kaam bhi karna hai isko aur ek independent life jeeni hai. Toh jaisa isko pasand hai waisa karne me kya harj hai."
"lekin bina pyaar ke jeena?", Priyanka ko ek shanka hui.
"kisne kaha ke bina pyaar ke? Shaadi nahi karni pyaar thodi mana kia hai." Alka ki bebaki par Preeti ne bhi unhe gale lagaya toh baaki sabhi ko kuch samajh na aaya lekin shaant rehne wali Komal didi sab samajh gai lekin waise he muskurati rahi.

Idhar jab sabhi log upar baatein karne me lagi thi neeche Rekha ji aur Lalita ji sab kaam khatam kar apna khana lekar lalita ji ke kamre me bister par baith chai ke sath nashta karti baatein karne me lagi thi. Darwaja dhaal dia tha jaise koi jaruri baat kar rahi ho. Aur inka bed bhi darwaje ki najar se peeche tha jaha ye charcha me vyast thi.
"Tu pareshan mat ho Rekha. Aise kab tak sochti rahegi tu aur khud ko kosna band kar.", Lalita ji ne ab apni devrani ko kuch samjhate hue kaha.
"Didi aapko nahi pata ke dil par kya beet rahi hai. Maine unko jis tarah se dekha tha woh drishya dimaag se nikal he nahi raha. Vinod ko bhi pata tha is baare me.", Rekha ji paheliya bujhati si baat kar rahi thi.
"Vinod us samay bacha he tha jab maine Shankar ko us kalmuhi ke sath rangraliya manate dekha tha. Aur khud soch ke Vinod toh khud ab jagah de raha tha inko milne ki. Tu apni haalat thik kar aur Shankar jaisa hai waisa he rahega. Waha khet me jaane kitni kunwariya woh ragad chuka hai jawani me lekin unke baap ki bhi himmat nai jab rokne ki toh hum kya kar sakte hai.", Rekha ke is sundar mukhde par peeda ke bhaav the. Ek ghutan hone lagi thi apne pati ke is roop ko har taraf dekh dekh ke. Wahi Lalita ji ki baat bhi unhe thik he lagi thi kyonki wo sach me kuch na kar sakti thi.
"Fir aap he bataye didi main kya karun? Kaise is dard ko apne dil se nikalu?", Wo asahaye si roti ka niwala neeche rakhti boli.
"Tujhe pyaar ki jarurat hai Rekha. Main jaanti hu ki jabse maine tujhe bataya hai mera charitra teri najar me ab badal gaya hoga. Lekin tu meri behan hai aur mai galat baat nai kahungi. Apna dil laga kisi aise shaks me jo sirf tujhe samjhe, izzat ke sath he wo pyaar de jo Shankar kabhi na de paya. Tu aaj bhi jawaan hai ri aur mat kharaab kar is vardaan me mile sharir ko.", Maathe par haath ferte unhone kaha toh Rekha ji bas shunya si dekhti rahi unko.
"Aapne ye sab kiske sath kia hai?", Rekha ki is baat par toh Lalita ji kuch der khamosh ho gai.
"Rekha naam jaan lene se kuch nahi hoga. Lekin tujhe main itna bata sakti hu ki us insaan par mai khud se jyada yakeen karti hu aur woh bhi kabi meri izzat par baat nai aane dega. Beshak humumar nahi lekin dil, sharir aur bhavnao me woh sabse upar hai." Lalita ji gehrai se Arjun ko sochne lagi jo sach me toot kar unhe pyaar deta tha lekin koi sawaal ya jabardasti nahi thi kabhi.
"Aisa he insaan toh mujhe nahi mila. Kismat ne sabkuch dia hai. Itna bada aur pyaar karne wala pariwar, samajhdar bache aur duniya bhar ka araam. Lekin umarbhar pyaar karne wala saathi dene me bhagwan ne galti kar di mere sath didi.", Wo bas ro he padi thi lekin fir khud ko thik karti sambhal kar baith gai.
"Bhagwan sirf humko dharti par bhejta hai. Sahi galat kuch nahi hota Rekha lekin ek fainsla hota hai jo dil se kia jana chahiye. Tu bas meri baat par vichar kar aur akele mat raha kar.", Chai ka cup apni devrani ko pakdate woh boli toh Rekha bhi ab kuch samajhti si chai peene lagi thi. Ye idhar baatein karti rahi aur 11 baje sabhi ladkiyon ke neeche aane ki awaj sunkar muskura di. "Aa gai paltan ab chal unhe kaam bata ke fir tu bhi araam kar le 2 ghadi." Lalita ja uthti hui boli. Aise he Komal, Priyanka ko kapde dhone aur Alka, Ritu ko apne kamre thik karne ka bata kar Rekha ji apne kamre me chal di aur Lalita ji apni saas ke pas.
"Aaj kar lia bahot kaam ab seedha dopahar ko uthunga." Arjun bahar se he seedha dusri manjil par chadh gaya tha neend poori karne ke liye aur jaise he araam se darwaja khola toh saamne bister par Renuka ko soye dekh muskura dia. Drawing room ka darwaja sata ke fir apne kamre ke dono darwaje bhi lagata wo pajama pehan kar peeche se unse lipat gaya.
"Preeti sone de na.", Neend me he Renuka ne ye kaha toh Arjun unka ek ubhaar pyar se pakadte hue kaan me bola, "Preeti nahi Preetam hai aapke." Arjun ki awaaj sunkar woh waise he uski taraf palat gai. Aankhne khol kar jab samne uska muskurata chehra dekha toh aankhen band karti fir se uski baahon me lipat gai.
"Atcha ab mai bhi sone he laga hu. Aapki neend jab khule toh utha dena." Aur ek baar unke kulhe ko hath me pakad kar sehalte hue Arjun ne hontho ko choom kar unse lipat kar aankhen band kar li. Fir se Renuka ka chehra ab uski chaati me chipp gaya tha. Dono ab jyada araam se gehri neend me chale gaye the.
.
.
"Ye Arjun aaj dikha nahi. Hai kaha ab tak?", Alka ne itna kaha toh Ritu ne kandhe uchka diye.
"Subah 9 baje library gaya tha lekin pata nahi kaha hai 1 baj gaya hai.", Uski baat khatam hui he thi ki Preeti naha-dho ke unke kamre me aa ghusi.
"Oye tera majnu kaha hai? Tujhe kuch pata bhi hai uske baare me?", Alka ki is baat par Preeti sirf muskura di.
"Tu kaam kar Alka mai abhi aai. Aur Preeti tu sath hai jara.", Kapde teh lagati woh beech me chodd kar bahar nikal gai. Bahar wale aangan se upar aati woh badi savdhani se chal rahi thi aur Preeti unhi ka anusaran karti kuch sochti hui aa rahi thi. Upar aane ke baad apne hontho par ungli rakhti woh Preeti ko ishare se chup rehne ko boli.
"Cycle dekhi thi na? Matlab woh ghar me he hai." Kaan me jab ye baat kahi toh Preeti ke chehre pe ek muskaan tair gai Ritu didi ka matlab samajh kar. Dheere se unhone darwaja thoda sa khola toh dono bas dekhti reh gai andar ka najara.
'Chaadar kamar tak liye dono kisi pati-patni ki tarah chipke soye the. Saree kamar se gayab thi jaha Arjun ka hath tha aur Renuka ka honth uske nange seene par the. Taang chaadar ke andar se Arjun ke upar rakhi hui thi.
"Ab inhe koi ye samjhaye ke ye inka honeymoon nahi hai. Hamara ghar hai.", Ritu ne Preeti ko hanste hue bola lekin woh toh andar he khoi thi. Kaise uski bua ka haath Arjun ki peeth par tha.
"Oye kuch kar jaldi se. Mai gai toh kaam kharab ho jayega.", Wo Preeti ko hilati boli toh Preeti ko hosh aaya.
"Huh.. Sahi baat hai. Ye dono toh jagah he bhool gaye hai aur yahi shuru kar dia." Preeti ko baat ko sunkar Ritu ne Naa me gardan hila di.
"Sirf sath soye hai. Chaadar thik hai aur Arjun beshak aisi waisi harkat kar de Bua nahi karengi. Main neeche chali ab tu agle 2 minute me kisi ek ko alag kar." Itna bol kar woh bhaag gai neeche.
'Kaisa pati dia hai bhagwan jo patni ke saamne he kisi ke sath bhi pada rehta hai.' khud ki baat par muskurati woh andar dakhil hui aur araam se sirf bua ko hilaya. Kuch der me he unhone aankhen khol Preeti ko dekha toh bas muskura di.
"Oh bua. Ye apna ghar nahi hai aur naa he raat hai. Koi aa gaya toh fir shaamat aa jayegi. Ye mandbuddhi bhi pagal hai. Chalo utho bahot so chuki aap.", Thoda sharmati si Renuka baat samajh kar sapno se bahar aai aur Arjun ke haath ke neeche takiya rakhti uth gai.
"Sach me yar. Pata nai kaise ho gaya.", Saree ko thik karti woh sharma rahi thi.
"Chalo atcha hai ke kisi ne nahi dekha nahi toh ho gaya tha aaj kaam." Unko drawing room ke raste bahar leke jaati woh boli. Dono neeche aaye toh Renuka bua bathroom chali gai aur Preeti wapis kamr me Ritu-Alka ke pas.
Pandit Ji Ka Pariwar
Koi 5 baje darwaje par awaaj hui toh Renuka kasmasati si uthi aur fir Arjun ke sath he apne nirvastra hone ka aabhas hote he chaadar uske sharir par daal woh khud ko bhi darwaje par tangi maxi se dhak darwaje ki taraf badhi. Sharir me abhi tak raat ki masti ke pramaan aur uttejana thi. Darwaje ko halka sa khol bahar dekha toh Preeti ko muskurate paya...
(Renuka)
"Bua Arjun ko utha dijiye aur dusre kamre me kariye. Daadu 5:30 baje uth jaate hai.", Bina he andar najar daale Preeti ne unhe muskurate hue dheemi awaaj me chetaya.
"Tu soi nahi thi iska matlab? Aur main inhe abhi bolti hu.", Preeti se bhi woh apne jism ko chupati najre neechi karti boli.
"Mujhe toh jaagna he tha kyonki 4 baje aap log soye toh fir bina jagaye toh uthne wale nahi the. Aur 'inhe' nahi Arjun ko uthaiye. Yaha mai bhi khadi hu.", Purvavat he woh muskurati boli toh Renuka ne sharmate hue darwaja band karne se pehle gardan hila di.
"uth kar dusre kamre me chaliye. 5 baj chuke hai.", Pyaar se Arjun ko hilate unhone jagaya toh woh nanga he angdaai leta uth gaya. Saamne muskurati Renuka ko dekh Arjun ne bas gaal ko chooma aur 2 minute me he apne raat wale kapde joote pehan kar woh bahar aa gaya. Drawing room me paani ka gilas liye khadi Preeti ko apne kharede hue kapdo me dekh gilas ko table par rakh dia.
"Itni subah aaj fir bijli chamak rahi hai.", Uski choti nikkar aur us baniyan si tshirt me chipke sharir ko ek baar bharpoor dekh wo bina kisi parwah ke Preeti ki kamar ko pakad gardan par mooh laga baitha. Bindas rehne wali Preeti andar tak hil gai jab Arjun ke sharir ka aabhas apne seene aur kati-pradesh par hua. Arjun ne aise he gale lagaye uske maathe ko chooma tabhi dhadkan kuch shant hui aur jab tak Preeti ki chetna wapis aati woh ja chuka tha. Aankhen band kiye bas woh waise he khadi rahi.
(Preeti)
"Wo ja chuka hai Preeti.", Kamre se raat ki kahani batati chaadar ko uthaye Renuka ji ne pichle aangan ki taraf jaate hue usko hilate kaha toh woh najar jhukati seedha apne kamre me daud gai jaha Tara ek takiye ko dabaye Preeti ki nikkar-tshirt me besudh padi thi.
'Ye bhi na. Jab aise karta hai bina kuch bataye toh jaane kyon haath-paanv kaam karne band kar dete hai. Chalo ek baat toh samajh aa gai.' Khud se baat karti woh ek bar muskurai aur fir peeche se Tara se lipat kar so gai. Saari raat toh bas pehra he deti rahi thi bas.
.
.
Arjun bhi apne ghar se tayaar hone ke baad is suhani subah bina aur neend liye aaj park ki taraf nikal gaya tha. Aacharya ji se milne aur unse baatein karne. Waha dono bade sneh se mile aur unhone bahut sa adhyatimik gyaan aur samaaj ke jaruri bhaag usko samjhaye. Lekin wahi dusri taraf kuch aur he najara tha.
.
.
"Aapki aisi haalat kaise hui foofaji?", Byaah se baraat jab nikalne lagi thi toh ek Sumo gaadi me apne baap ke sath baitha Anurag jab sath me baithe Abhimanyu se poochne laga toh uske chacha ke sath baap ka dhyan bhi Abhimanyu ke sooje hue gaal, fate honth aur naak par gaya.
"Uncle ji mai chodunga nahi us harami ladke ko." Agli seat par baithe Vijaypratap se mukhatib hote hue usne ye baat kahi toh thoda hairan ho kar unhone beech wali seat par baithe Abhimanyu ka chehra ek baar dekha fir chup ho gaye.
"Baat kya hai jamaai ji? Thoad vistar se bataye aur aisa konsa ladka paida ho gaya jo hamre ghar ki ijjat par hath daal gaya?", Ye the Anurag ke pita Ajaypratap, ek 60 saal ke prabhavshali vyakti.
"Jo ladka waha shadi me tha Renuka ke sath, wo pehalwan sa. Uski ha rishta Renuka ki bhatiji se hua hai. Saale ne mujhe nashe me dekh kar mere sath aisa kia nahi toh mai usko chatti ka doodh yaad dila deta. Haa nahi toh.", Wo khokhla he fufkaar raha tha.
"Baat kya hai Vijay? Jara samjhaoge. Tumhe dekh kar lagta hai ke jaise sab jaante hue bhi chup ho. Ye bahut bade apmaan ki baat hai.", Waha sabhi gaadiyon me baaki rishtedar aur dulha-dulhan baith rahe the idhar ye thoda alag baithe the apni alag gaadi me.
"Bhai sahab mujh se bhi galti hui hai lekin main kabul kar chuka hu aur maafi maang chuka hu. Ye jamaai ji jis ladke ki baat kar rahe hai woh Pandit Rameshwar ji ka chota pota hai aur aapke suputra Anurag toh unke ghar ki honewali bahu ko haansil karne ki firak me hai." Itna bolkar najre jhuka li Vijaypratap ne. Yaha ab koi sharaab nahi thi bas paschatap tha. "Aap bhi mujhe maaf kar dijiye" unhone bas itna kaha aur saamne dekhne lage.
"Woh sala koi bhi ho lekin mai uska bura haal jarur karunga.", gurrata hua Abhimanyu itna he bola tha ke gehri soch me doobe Ajaypratap ne kass ke gale par tamacha jadd dia.
"Tum hamare jamaai ho isliye ye baat keh gaye ho tum. Hum apne pariwar ko hifajat se rakhna chahte hai aur agar tumhari wajah se isme koi pareshani aai toh hum rishta khatam karne me pal bhar nahi lagayenge.", Ek sard lehje me unhone itna kaha aur fir khud he uska collar thik karte apna rumaal Abhimanyu ke gaal par rakh dia jisko sehamte hue usne gaal par chipka lia.
"Papa, ye sab is shehar me itna darte kyon hai is insaan ke naam se? Jisko dekho woh unki baat par sar jhuka deta hai. Aap jaante hai kya inke baare me?", Anurag bhi ab thoda seham gaya tha aur atche se jaan-na chahta tha ke wo dushmani le toh pehel pata toh ho ki aukaat hai bhi ya nahi. Waise toh samajh aa chuka tha ke filhal woh bebas he tha.
"Beta inke baare me 40 saal me mai sabkuch jaanta hu. Bas mulakaat bahot kam he hui ya yu kaho ke jarurat ke samay he hui. Pandit ji.. " Is naam ko lekar Ajaypratap ek pal ke liye gehri soch me doob gaye.
"Aaj bhi yaad hai jab woh thana-incharge the hamre shehar me, jo us samay kasba he hota tha. Hamara ghar pas me tha thaane ke aur Pandit ji toh apne roj ke niyam se sabhi ke thaane me samasya hal karte the. Shaam ko ghode par he kasbe me gasht dete dikh jaate the aur chote kya bade kya, sabhi unki izzat karte aur woh bhi sadak par he sabse prem-purvak milte the. Fir waha se tabadla hone ke baad woh agle shehar chale gaye, DSP ke auhde par. Halke ke takriban 200 gaanv me woh 2 saal me he prachalit ho gaye the. Apne anushashit jiwan, gaanv-valo ki samasyaye dur karne ki wajah se aur apne he police vibhag me sabhi karmiyon ke bachon ki shiksha muft me uplabdh karwa kar. Mukhyamantri ne unki ye maang ek hafte me poori karwa di thi. Pandit ji toh chor-uchakko ko bhi samjhate the aur madad karte the sahi insaan me badalne ki. Unhi dino ki baat hai ki unke ghanisht mitra aur jaane maane jamindar Raghubir Singh Gujjar ke pariwar par ek bada humla hua tha. Jameen-mandir ka vivaad tha aur mere pitaji bhi unke atche sampark me the.
Maamle ki jaanch karne khud Pandit ji aaye the aur kuch atche bade logo par unhone dabish bhi kar di thi. Naam bade the toh dabaav bhi bada aa gaya unpar. Lekin case ko suljhane ki jagah us se hatt jane ka. Khud unke senior adhikari Rathod ne unka tabadala Rajasthan ke sath lagte shehar me karwa dia. Pandit ji tabadale se pehli raat ko Raghubir Singh ke ghar, jo ki us samay ke hisab se kahi mehal he tha me baithe the aur mere pitaji bhi wahi the aur 3-4 ghanisht logo ke sath." Ajaypratap ne saans lete hue kehna jaari rakha jisko ab ye dono bhi sun rahe the.
"2 aur bade pariwar hote the us samay. Ramehar Singh Gujjar aur Sombir Singh, jinhone Raghujbir ke bade bete ko maar diye the aur factory me aag laga kar koi 15-16 majduro ko jinda jalwa dia tha. Raghubir ka bas ek beta aur beti bach paye the. Aur ye 2 apraadhik pariwar sarkar ke bheetar atchi paith rakhte the, apne paise aur taqat ke boote par. Jis samay waha ghar ke aangan me baatein ho rahi thi, Rammehar Singh aur uske dono bete waha aaye the, kehne ko woh mamla suljhane aaye the lekin saajis thi unki ye sab. Unke peeche he Sombir Singh aur uske 4 bete aur 6-7 khas pehalwan pas me he the. Jo unke liye ek tarah se suraksha chakra ka kaam dene aaye the. Baat sahi ja rahi thi ki Raghubir ne unhe maaf karne ke badle pradesh chodd kar jaane ki baat keh di jis par Pandit ji ne bhi unka samarthan dia. Baaki nafe-nuksaan ki baatein pehle ho chuki thi. Lekin Sombir Singh ke bade bete Fateh Singh ne josh me Pandit ji par goli chala di jo shayad sahi nishane na lagi aur kandhe ko cheerti nikal gai.
Is achanak humle se Raghubir Singh ke aadmiyon ne jawabi hamla kar dia jisme Sombir aur Rammehar toh bhaag khade hue lekin uska chota beta maar dia gaya. Sab taraf awaaj gai thi goliyon ke chalne ki toh log-baag bhi aa gaye the aur chunki Raghubir singh atcha aadmi tha toh ek tarah se woh yaha ka anndata he tha. Pandit ji ko hospital le jaya gaya lekin jyada khoon behne se woh achet ho gaye the.
Baat kai sheharo me pahuch gai thi jabki un dino itna toh telephone ya khabre nahi hoti thi. Lekin unke sabhi chahne wale logo ko bada jhatka laga tha. Police ne bhi mukkaddma darja karte hue dabav me kuch awara mujrimo ko he pakda. Raghubir Singh par bhi unhone hath nahi dala tha kyonki khoon ka iljaam unke aadmi ne apne sar par le lia tha.
Tum soch rahe hoge ke mai konsi filmi kahani batane laga hu. Lekin suno, tabhi tumhe samajh aayega ke pariwar kya hota hai aur Pandit ji ke chahne wale kon log hai.
"Is ghatna ke baad Pandit ji ke 2 bete najar me aaye the. Ek baar jab woh hospital me apne pita ke sath jab band kamre me rahe. Jinhone ne kuch pehchaan wale police ke logo se bhi mulaqaat ki thi. Lagbhag 20-22 saal ke wo dono mujh se us samay 10 saal chote honge. Fir unhe ek din baad dekha gaya tha Raghubir Singh ke ghar, jahan mere pita ke anusar unhone har baat ko atche se samjha aur salah mashvara kia tha. Dono bhaiyon ne koi madad na li thi unse aur apne pita ki tarah he unka bhi bada pyaar tha is pariwar ke sath. Baat toh yaha tak thi ki Pandit ji ke bade bete ke liye ladki Raghubir Singh ne he pakki kari thi. Agle 3 din tak shaanti thi Pradesh me aur Pandit ji ko hospital se chutti milne ke baad 15 din ka araam dia gaya tha. 3 din ke baad Sombir singh ke chaaron bete sadak par kuchle pade mile the. Unki jeep gaanv-dhaani ke bahar un sabki laasho se 20 kadam dur jali hui halat me mili thi. Dekhne walo ka kehna ha ki sirf sar he salamat the baaki toh uthane layak bhi nahi bacha tha. Iske peeche kon tha thik se kehna mushkil tha, aisa police ka jawaab tha. Sombir aur Ramehar ke dabav me Pandit ji ke beto ke baare jankari li gai toh woh begunaah nikle the, ye bhi police ka he kehna tha. Lekin iske baad jo hua woh kuch aisa tha ki ek baar ke liye Police ne bhi hath khade kar diye the. Jis mandir aur Jameen par kabja kia gaya tha, Sombir-Ramehar dwara waha par poore pariwar ke mardo ki laashen bichi padi mili thi. Sath me he unke sarkar me kareebi 3 Saansad aur parshad vyaktiyon ki. 16 log ek jagah par kaat diye gaye the aur bataya jata hai ke us samay itni laasho ke liye lakdiya bhi kam padd gai thi. Pichli baar ki tarah Pandit ji ka beta is baar bhi apne college ke hostel aur kaksha me upasthith tha, us samay ke inspector Nirmal Singh ki report me ye bataya gaya tha. Lekin gaanv me sabko pata tha ke wahi vyakti tha is sabke peeche apne bhai aur Raghubir Singh ke bete ke sath. Is ghatna ke baad SP Rathod ki beti bhi 2 din tak gayab rahi thi aur fir unhone apna tabadala khud he karwa lia tha us shehar se.
Pandit ji ne thik hone ke baad he apna karyabhar sambhal lia tha lekin unhe is case par kabhi aane he nahi dia gaya tha. Kaha jata he ke police ke adhikariyon ko pata tha ke Pandit ji shayad apne beto ko bhi andar daalne se peeche nahi hatenge. Lekin is ghatna ke baad unhone police me rehte hue bahot sewa ki agle 10 saalo tak. Unke dwara sthapit kai trust ab police aur suraksha seva dene wale pradesh ke yuvako ki madad karte hai. Matlab itna hai ke system me rehne wale ye vyakti Haryana ban-ne ke baad se he Police vibhag ki ek majboot jadd hai jo aaj bhi naye bharti hue HPS, IPS ko salah mashwara dete dikh jayenge. Aur ek badi baat hai inke peeche, Maharaja Balwinder Singh ke munshi inke pitaji Motilal Sharma ji the, toh jameen-jaydaad bharpoor hone ke bawjood ye ek sadharan zindagi wale vyakti hai."
Ajaypratap ab bahar ki taraf ugte suraj ko dekhne lage the. Abhimanyu ki toh fatt ke chaar ho chuki thi ki 20 logo ke maar dene wale vyakti ko bhi police he surksha de rahi thi uske baap se. Anurag har baat par gor kar raha tha.
"Bhai sahab Dr. Shankar ka khauf Pandit ji ke naam se kahi jyada hai ye bhi jara atche se samjha do inhe. Wo Col Puri ne toh khud kaha tha jab hum sabhi baithe the unke maykhaane me.", Vijaypratap ki baat sunkar Ajaypratap muskura diye.
"Wo Doctor atcha hai Vijay aur Col ko apna baap maanta hai. Dekha nahi dono jigari bhi hai jo ek gilas me he pee lete hai.", Shankar Sharma aur Col sahab ka rishta yaad karte hue Ajaypratap fir se gambhir ho gaye.
"Beta wo ladki Shankar ki bahu banegi aur agar thoda bhi tum samjhe ho toh bas dur he rehna. Jamaai ji mujhe lagta hai aap bhi aisa kuch nahi karoge. Nahi toh ye Shankar naam ka he nahi kaam se bhi Mahadev hai. Pandit ji ne zindagi me sirf ek baar he apne auhdhe ka prayog kia tha, Col Puri ko saaf sabit karne ke liye lekin Shankar ne jo bhi 3 Army me Puri ke samkaksh the sabhi ko swarg bhej dia tha, unpar galat aarop lagane ke jurm me. Aajkal woh shaant hai kyonki ghar me unka bhatija Sanjeev ab sab sambhal raha hai. Aur mai abhi ye bata du ki Sanjeev Pandit ji aur Shankar ka mishran hai. Tum ab yahi se nikal jao Jamaai ji aur mere bache ko ye salah-mashwara dena toh dur iske aaspas bhi nahi dikhna. Anurag ab tum mere aur apne chacha ke sath he kaam karoge.", Apne shehar ke ek chownk par he gaadi rukwate hue unhone is ujali subah Abhimanyu ko tiraskar bhari najro se dekhte hue ghar se pehle he utaar dia jo mooh latka ke apni raah nikal lia.
.
.
"Dadaji, aaj maine ek naya paath padha Shashtri ji se.", Arjun jab ghar aaya toh waise he apne dada ji ko baithe paya bagiche me. Col sahab ke sath kursi par chai peete hue. Aaj woh deri se gaya tha aur aaya bhi 7 baje tha.
"Toh fir hume bhi batao bhai ke kya seekha jis se humko bhi kuch faayeda ho.", Col sahab ne ye baat kahi udhar Pandit ji ne apni dharampatni ko doodh ke liye awaaj laga di. Arjun neeche ghas par baith kar joote khol raha tha.
"Chote daadu unhone aaj bataya Nar-Narayan ke baare me. Aur kisi vyakti ka charitra samajhne ki prakriya. Aur ek aadha paath padhaya apni indriyon ko jaagrit karne ke baare me.", Dono bujurg muskurahat ke sath usko dekh rahe the. Fir Pandit ji chai ka cup baint ke stool par rakhte hue bolne lage.
"Beta ye bada he gehan sabak hai. Mujhe toh laga tha ke tum iske liye tayaar nahi ho abhi. Nar jo ki ek devtulya vyakti thi aur Narayan bhagwan unke param mitra. Aage jara tum batao agar maine thik kaha hai toh.", Puri sahab bhi ab jara dhyaan se sun-ne lage the. Unko bhi ye vartalaap dilchasp hoti dikhne lagi thi.
"Ha dadaji. Thik samjhe aap is baat ko. Nar-Narayan ko hamesha ek sath lia jata hai jaise sharir aur aatma. Hum sharir dekh sakte hai jo ki apne aap me ek aboojh paheli hai aur rehasyo se bhara hai. Jiski seema koi nahi jaan paya aur hum bina he isko atche se jaane Narayan, yani ki aatma ko dekhne ki itcha rakhte hai. Jo ki kisi haal me mumkin nahi. Daadu aap jo batane wale the woh tha pauranik ullekh aur mai thoda alag bata raha hu." Arjun ne Pandit ji ki aankhon me dekha toh unhone sehmati me sar hila dia.
"Haan. Mai toh iske baad tumhe Nar-Narayan ke Arjun-Krishna ka varnan karta. Lekin tum mujhe wo bata rahe ho jo vastvikta hai."
"Haan bhai sahab ye jo batane laga hai woh main bhi samajhna chahta hu." Col sahab ni bhi jigyasa dikhai.
"Toh suniye aap bhi." Ek baar apni daadi ko wahi kursi par doodh ka gilas aur 2 laddu liye dekh fir Arjun aage bolne laga.
"Ye sharir bahot jatil hai aur iski kshamta itni hai ki hum jaan nahi sakte. Pauranik udaharan ko sath me rakh ke baat karen toh Arjun ke samkaksh dhanurdhar koi nahi tha. Maanta hu aap kahenge Karan aur Eklavya lekin sahi maayne me woh bhi nahi the. Arjun ka sabse majboot paksh tha ke woh sharir ko samajhta tha aur iski kshamta ko nirdharit karta tha saamne wale ke anusar. Chahe woh Dronacharya ke saamne, chahe fir Devraj Indra ke saath yudh me ya fir swayam Narayan ke he samkaksh. Eklavya jahan ek lakshya se bas dhanurdhar he ban-na chahta tha bina yudh abhyaas ke wahi Karan ko ghamand tha apne kavach aur devik shiksha par. Koi bhi apne Nar-Narayan ke talmel me sahi nahi tha.
"Ab mai wapis aata hu vastvikta par. Bahri sharir ko samajhne ke baad prakriya hoti hai narottam hone ki. 5 indriyon ko kaabu karne ki nahi toh agar hum inke kahe chalne lage toh Narayan milne se rahe Nar bhi khatam ho jayega. Nayan, Jivha, Kaan, Naak aur tvacha, yahi pramukh 5 indriyan hai lekin inhe kaabu karne ke baad aati hai chatti indri. Aabhas. Jaise Arjun ka gandiv jisme kabhi teer khatam nahi hote the. Aise he hai Aabhas jo sharir ko Aatama ya Narayan ke pas le jata hai." Ruk kar doodh peete aur laddu khaate hue Arjun aas-pas bhi dekh raha tha. Fir khada ho kar chui-mui ke paudhe ke pas gaya aur ek patti ko hatha lagaya. Wo simat gai.
"Dekhiye ye sirf choone se simat gai jo ki iski visheshta hai lekin ye agli patti ko dekhiye." Arjun ne uske sath waali ke bilkul pas he ungli ki thi ki woh simat gai.
"aabhas. Kudrat ne humko ye janam si milta hai lekin jaise he hum woh sab seekhte hai jo duniya ya samaaj me prachalit hai hum swayam ko kho kar bas wahi bante hai jaisa sab batate hai. Aur ye galat toh nahi lekin fir bhi ek avrodh ban jata hai. Yog matlab jodd. Shrir ka aatma se milan he toh Nar-Narayan hua na dadaji, Yog bhi." laddu ko khaate hue woh ab apne dadaji ko dekhne laga jo nishabdh the is chote ladke ke saamne.
"Waah beta badi gyaan ki baat kari tumne toh. Mere bhai sahab bhi pehli baar itni gehri soch me hai.", Puri sahab ne itna kaha toh Rameshwar ji muskura kar unhe dekhne lage.
"Satish, ye baat bahot gehri hai aur mujhe itna pata hai ke abhi bhi isne vistar se nahi batai. Lekin iska agla sabak bhi sath he juda hai. Kisi insaan ko samajhna ya charitra jaan-na.", Ab Arjun hairani se unhe dekhne laga tha.
"Wo jab ye aabhas shabd mere kaano me gunja toh apne police ke din yaad aa gaye. Varsho ki mehnat se ek pal me he kisi ka charitra jaan lete the. Aur agar iski baat ko samajha jaye toh jo vyakti khud ko jaan leta hai fir woh itna saksham ho jata hai ke saamne wale ko khud he apna vyaktitva ka raaj ugalana padta hai. Jab isne kaha tha ke Arjun ne Indra se yudh kia tha, devraj ko bhi apni saari shaktiyan prayog karni pad gai thi lekin Arjun ke saamne unke koi astra-vidhya kaam nahi aai thi. Unka atcha bura sabhi vyaktitva ujagar ho gaya tha kyonki saamne wala toh apni kshamta ko samajh chuka tha lekin Indra khud apne ahankaar me the. Aapka charitra saaf aur majboot ho toh fir boore insaan bhi buraai kabool kar ke saamne aa jaate hai." Rameshwar ji ki baat sateek thi.
"Jaise ki aap Dadaji. Shastri ji ne ye sabak aapke naam par he mujhe dia ki aapka vyaktitva kitna vishal hai lekin fir bhi aap apne us daayre me he rehte ho jo aapko atcha lagta hai aur kisi aur ko is se peeda nahi hoti. Unhone mujhe ye bhi kaha ki aabhas-purvbhaas agar koi vyakti unse behtar jaanta hai woh aap hai. Aur aapne apni 5 indriyon ko atche se samajhne ke baad he ye daayra banaya hai jisme ek tarah se aap raja se sirf ek aam grihasth vyakti he reh gaye hai, apni marji se." Rameshwar ji ne aakhen band kar li thi itna sunkar aur Col sahab ne unke hath par apna haath rakh dia tha.
"Chal ab uth tu yaha se aur chal ke naha.", Kaushalya ji dapat kar boli Arjun se.
"Ruko beta. Ek chota sa sabak sanjha kar du fir tum chale jana." Ek baar Kaushalya ji ko dekh kar unhone Arjun ko bithate hue sar pe hath fera.
"Hum jivan me andhere se prakash ki taraf bhaagte hai. Is se andhera dur nahi hota sirf jagah badal jaati hai. Maine apna poora prayas kia tha lekin mai us andhkaar ki gehraai ko saaf na kar saka. Jin logo se mujhe ummeed thi unhe shayad mujh se itna adhik pyaar tha ke woh andhere-ujaale me farak tak bhool gaye. Agar ye daayra chota na karta toh mujhe aabhas tha ke fir kuch nahi bachega. Ek vinash se bhare raj-paat se atcha 2 kamro ka wo ghar hota hai jo rahgir aur pariwar ka bhala kare. Aur sach kahu mujhe tumse koi aisi ummeed nahi hai ke tum samaaj me badi hasti bano ya fir daulat ka ambaar khada kar do. Bas woh insaan bano jo khud ko samjhe, sach ka sath de aur ho sake toh jaruratmand ki bhalai kare. Fir chahe tum jo bhi bano koi parwah nahi. Anushasan aur Prem ye bas 2 he sutra hai jindagi ke. Aur toh mai tumhe kuch de nahi sakta." Unki baat par Arjun ne dadaji ke paanv chuu kar bas sar haan me hilaya aur andar daud gaya.
"Bhai sahab, aapne kabhi galat nahi kia aur aapki aulaad ne bhi. Bas aapke laadle ko wahi samajh aata hai jo shayad usne aapke dil me mehsoos kia ho. Shankar ka pyaar aapke liye saaf hai lekin mai jaanta hu ke pyaar ke sath he aapko us se shikayat bhi hai.", Col sahab ne unki baah dabata hue unse ye baat kahi toh woh bas muskura diye. Lekin Kaushalya ji bol uthi.
"devar ji mai bilkul sehmat hu aapse. Wo sher hai aur usne seekha bhi inse hai ke pariwar ke liye sabkuch karo bas ye bhool jata hai ke uska jungle ka dayra ab char-diwari me hai aur yaha ab raaj nahi hota." Baat kehti wo apne patidev ki taraf ek nigah daalti andar chal di.
"Yar Satish, khud he dekh le tu ab. Sher agar dusre shero ka shikar karna shuru kar de toh santulan nahi rehta upar se uski sherniyon ki tadad lambi hai jo kabhi kabhi mujhko aabhas karati hai ke anhoni na ho jaye. Mere toh haath khade hai tu he baat kar ke dekh apne laadle se. Chal aaja andar khana khaate hai. Renuka ko mai abhi bulwa leta hu aaj meri beti mere pas rahegi." Unko sath liye woh andar aa gaye jaha Arjun bas naha kar bahar toliya sukane ja raha tha.
"Barkhurdar, apni bua aur Preeti ko nashte ke liye bula lao.", Arjun unki baat sunkar apne kamre me chal dia, kapde pehan-ne.
.
.
Sab waise he ho raha tha jaise roj hota tha. Nashta karke Arjun aaj 9 baje he library chal dia tha. Ghar pe thodi raunak thi aaj Renuka aur Preeti ki wajah se. Maadhuri didi bhi charch ka vishaya thi jo sabhi behno aur Renuka bua-Preeti ke sath upar Tara ke kamre me baithi thi. Rekha ji aur Lalita ji rasoighar me saaf-safai me lagi thi. Tara scootry par khud he company jaa chuki thi.
.
.
"mubarak ho Maadhuri rishta pakka hone ki khushi me.", Renuka ji vyavasthith saree me muskurati hui sofe par baithi thi aur unki baat par Maadhuri didi sharam se muskura rahi thi.
"waise aapne toh bataya nahi kuch hone wala jiju ke baare me?", Preeti ne bister par Alka didi ke sath baithe hue unse kaha toh woh kuch der chupchap muskurati rahi.
"Gorav naam hai unka aur Punjab ke ####### shehar me Excise officer hai. Abhi toh shagan-tilak kia hai. September me sagaai aur fir November me shaadi hai. Aur toh jyada pata nahi baaki gharwale unke pariwar ko atche se jaante hai." Maadhuri didi ne jitna pata tha bata dia.
"Aur unhone toh Komal ko bhi pasand kia tha lekin chacha ji ne mana kar dia.", Unki baat par Komal didi muskura uthi.
"Waah ye toh atcha ho jata.", Aarti ne itna kaha toh Renuka ji beech me bol padi.
"Behne devrani-jethani ban jaati toh dono rishtey sambhal nahi paati. Atchi baat hai ke mana kar dia.", Unki baat par Aarti sar khujane lagi thi.
"Sanjeev ki bhi baat chali kya kahin?", Renuka ji waise he jikra kar dia.
"Bhaiya ka rishta toh pehle he pakka kia hua hai dadaji ne. Ek he din shaadi hai hum dono ki.", Maadhuri didi ki baat par Ritu aur Alka ek dusre ko dekhne lagi toh Komal didi hansti hui boli.
"Haan ye baat sirf kuch he logo ko pata hai, ghar me bhi sabko nahi bataai gai thi. Sanjeev bhaiya ne bhi pichle he saal haan keh di thi.", Komal didi ke batane par Ritu unhe choonti kaatne lagi
(Ritu)
"Ab ye bhi bata do ki kahi hum sabka he toh pehle se rishta nahi pakka kia hua. Kal fir achanak kahi bol de ke falane se tumhari pakki kar chuke hai." Alka jaise sadme me boli toh Renuka ji ke sath he Maadhuri aur Priyanka bhi jor se hans di.
"Ek aur hai yaha jiska rishta pehle he pakka kia ja chuka hai lekin ... bas unki maa ko ye baat abhi nahi bataai gai hai.", Renuka ji ki baat ka ishara samajhte hue sabhi Preeti ko dekhne lage jo buri tarah se Ritu didi se chipak gai thi.
"Aur agar us ladki ki maa ne aitraaj kia toh fir?", Alka ki baat par Ritu ne aankh maarte hue jawaab dia.
"Fir toh bua rishta nahi hoga." is baat par Preeti sherni si bhadak gai
"Wahi hoga jaha pakka kia hai. Maa bhi meri is ghar me he rehti hai." fir sabko hanste dekh wapis Ritu ke peeche sar chupa lia.
"Haaye re. Ye toh bagawat wali nikali. Hum toh isko bholi-bhali samajhte the.", Alka ki baat par poora kamra hansi ki awaaj se goonj gaya tha lekin Priyanka aur Aarti thoda sochne bhi lagi thi ki ye baat kis taraf ja rahi hai. Lekin chup he rahi.
"Waise bua aapne kuch socha? dusre ke baare me. Ab toh chance lena chahiye aapko.", Maadhuri didi ki baat ko samajhte hue unka chehra thoda laal ho gaya tha.
"Haan is baar koshish hai. Chalo tum log baatein karo mujhe jagah do sone ke liye. Fir dopahar ke khaane ke baad toh mai Tauji-Taaiji ke pas rehne wali hu sham tak." Wo uthne lagi bed ki taraf aati toh Preeti ne unhe rok dia.
"Bua ye saamne wala kamra hai na. Aap wahi araam karo hum log yahi baithi hai aur wo bister naram bhi hai.", Preeti ki is baat par Ritu thoda hansne lagi toh Preeti ne unki gardan aise sehla di jaise Arjun karta tha. 'aahh.. mat kar' dabi awaaj me unhone kaha idhar Renuka ji is kamre me aai toh samajh gai ke ye kiska kamra hai. Darwaja dhaal kar woh itminaan se bister par baith kar kamre ko dekhne lagi. Fir chaadar ko baahon me leti woh lait gai jaise Arjun ki baahon me ho.
"Agla number Priyanka ka hai. Daadi bata rahi thi ki ek jagah ladka dekha hai lekin garmiyon ki chuttiyon me baat karenge.", Maadhuri didi ki baat par toh Priyanka ke royen khade ho gaye. Dil me bas ek he naam sunaai dia 'Arjun'. Aur bas woh fir se shaant ho gai.
"Main toh karne wali nahi bhai. Jo bhi kehta rahe lekin shaadi toh karungi nahi aur apne sapne poore karungi." Alka ne farmaan suna dia tha jiske samarthan me hamesha ki tarah Ritu sath thi.
"Shaadi nahi karegi? Ye kaise mumkin hai?", Aarti ki baat par Ritu ne jawaab dia.
"Kyon? Ye khoob padhegi, iske bahot sapne hai. Fir kaam bhi karna hai isko aur ek independent life jeeni hai. Toh jaisa isko pasand hai waisa karne me kya harj hai."
"lekin bina pyaar ke jeena?", Priyanka ko ek shanka hui.
"kisne kaha ke bina pyaar ke? Shaadi nahi karni pyaar thodi mana kia hai." Alka ki bebaki par Preeti ne bhi unhe gale lagaya toh baaki sabhi ko kuch samajh na aaya lekin shaant rehne wali Komal didi sab samajh gai lekin waise he muskurati rahi.
.

Idhar jab sabhi log upar baatein karne me lagi thi neeche Rekha ji aur Lalita ji sab kaam khatam kar apna khana lekar lalita ji ke kamre me bister par baith chai ke sath nashta karti baatein karne me lagi thi. Darwaja dhaal dia tha jaise koi jaruri baat kar rahi ho. Aur inka bed bhi darwaje ki najar se peeche tha jaha ye charcha me vyast thi.
"Tu pareshan mat ho Rekha. Aise kab tak sochti rahegi tu aur khud ko kosna band kar.", Lalita ji ne ab apni devrani ko kuch samjhate hue kaha.
"Didi aapko nahi pata ke dil par kya beet rahi hai. Maine unko jis tarah se dekha tha woh drishya dimaag se nikal he nahi raha. Vinod ko bhi pata tha is baare me.", Rekha ji paheliya bujhati si baat kar rahi thi.
"Vinod us samay bacha he tha jab maine Shankar ko us kalmuhi ke sath rangraliya manate dekha tha. Aur khud soch ke Vinod toh khud ab jagah de raha tha inko milne ki. Tu apni haalat thik kar aur Shankar jaisa hai waisa he rahega. Waha khet me jaane kitni kunwariya woh ragad chuka hai jawani me lekin unke baap ki bhi himmat nai jab rokne ki toh hum kya kar sakte hai.", Rekha ke is sundar mukhde par peeda ke bhaav the. Ek ghutan hone lagi thi apne pati ke is roop ko har taraf dekh dekh ke. Wahi Lalita ji ki baat bhi unhe thik he lagi thi kyonki wo sach me kuch na kar sakti thi.
"Fir aap he bataye didi main kya karun? Kaise is dard ko apne dil se nikalu?", Wo asahaye si roti ka niwala neeche rakhti boli.
"Tujhe pyaar ki jarurat hai Rekha. Main jaanti hu ki jabse maine tujhe bataya hai mera charitra teri najar me ab badal gaya hoga. Lekin tu meri behan hai aur mai galat baat nai kahungi. Apna dil laga kisi aise shaks me jo sirf tujhe samjhe, izzat ke sath he wo pyaar de jo Shankar kabhi na de paya. Tu aaj bhi jawaan hai ri aur mat kharaab kar is vardaan me mile sharir ko.", Maathe par haath ferte unhone kaha toh Rekha ji bas shunya si dekhti rahi unko.
"Aapne ye sab kiske sath kia hai?", Rekha ki is baat par toh Lalita ji kuch der khamosh ho gai.
"Rekha naam jaan lene se kuch nahi hoga. Lekin tujhe main itna bata sakti hu ki us insaan par mai khud se jyada yakeen karti hu aur woh bhi kabi meri izzat par baat nai aane dega. Beshak humumar nahi lekin dil, sharir aur bhavnao me woh sabse upar hai." Lalita ji gehrai se Arjun ko sochne lagi jo sach me toot kar unhe pyaar deta tha lekin koi sawaal ya jabardasti nahi thi kabhi.
"Aisa he insaan toh mujhe nahi mila. Kismat ne sabkuch dia hai. Itna bada aur pyaar karne wala pariwar, samajhdar bache aur duniya bhar ka araam. Lekin umarbhar pyaar karne wala saathi dene me bhagwan ne galti kar di mere sath didi.", Wo bas ro he padi thi lekin fir khud ko thik karti sambhal kar baith gai.
"Bhagwan sirf humko dharti par bhejta hai. Sahi galat kuch nahi hota Rekha lekin ek fainsla hota hai jo dil se kia jana chahiye. Tu bas meri baat par vichar kar aur akele mat raha kar.", Chai ka cup apni devrani ko pakdate woh boli toh Rekha bhi ab kuch samajhti si chai peene lagi thi. Ye idhar baatein karti rahi aur 11 baje sabhi ladkiyon ke neeche aane ki awaj sunkar muskura di. "Aa gai paltan ab chal unhe kaam bata ke fir tu bhi araam kar le 2 ghadi." Lalita ja uthti hui boli. Aise he Komal, Priyanka ko kapde dhone aur Alka, Ritu ko apne kamre thik karne ka bata kar Rekha ji apne kamre me chal di aur Lalita ji apni saas ke pas.
"Aaj kar lia bahot kaam ab seedha dopahar ko uthunga." Arjun bahar se he seedha dusri manjil par chadh gaya tha neend poori karne ke liye aur jaise he araam se darwaja khola toh saamne bister par Renuka ko soye dekh muskura dia. Drawing room ka darwaja sata ke fir apne kamre ke dono darwaje bhi lagata wo pajama pehan kar peeche se unse lipat gaya.
"Preeti sone de na.", Neend me he Renuka ne ye kaha toh Arjun unka ek ubhaar pyar se pakadte hue kaan me bola, "Preeti nahi Preetam hai aapke." Arjun ki awaaj sunkar woh waise he uski taraf palat gai. Aankhne khol kar jab samne uska muskurata chehra dekha toh aankhen band karti fir se uski baahon me lipat gai.
"Atcha ab mai bhi sone he laga hu. Aapki neend jab khule toh utha dena." Aur ek baar unke kulhe ko hath me pakad kar sehalte hue Arjun ne hontho ko choom kar unse lipat kar aankhen band kar li. Fir se Renuka ka chehra ab uski chaati me chipp gaya tha. Dono ab jyada araam se gehri neend me chale gaye the.
.
.
"Ye Arjun aaj dikha nahi. Hai kaha ab tak?", Alka ne itna kaha toh Ritu ne kandhe uchka diye.
"Subah 9 baje library gaya tha lekin pata nahi kaha hai 1 baj gaya hai.", Uski baat khatam hui he thi ki Preeti naha-dho ke unke kamre me aa ghusi.
"Oye tera majnu kaha hai? Tujhe kuch pata bhi hai uske baare me?", Alka ki is baat par Preeti sirf muskura di.
"Tu kaam kar Alka mai abhi aai. Aur Preeti tu sath hai jara.", Kapde teh lagati woh beech me chodd kar bahar nikal gai. Bahar wale aangan se upar aati woh badi savdhani se chal rahi thi aur Preeti unhi ka anusaran karti kuch sochti hui aa rahi thi. Upar aane ke baad apne hontho par ungli rakhti woh Preeti ko ishare se chup rehne ko boli.
"Cycle dekhi thi na? Matlab woh ghar me he hai." Kaan me jab ye baat kahi toh Preeti ke chehre pe ek muskaan tair gai Ritu didi ka matlab samajh kar. Dheere se unhone darwaja thoda sa khola toh dono bas dekhti reh gai andar ka najara.
'Chaadar kamar tak liye dono kisi pati-patni ki tarah chipke soye the. Saree kamar se gayab thi jaha Arjun ka hath tha aur Renuka ka honth uske nange seene par the. Taang chaadar ke andar se Arjun ke upar rakhi hui thi.
"Ab inhe koi ye samjhaye ke ye inka honeymoon nahi hai. Hamara ghar hai.", Ritu ne Preeti ko hanste hue bola lekin woh toh andar he khoi thi. Kaise uski bua ka haath Arjun ki peeth par tha.
"Oye kuch kar jaldi se. Mai gai toh kaam kharab ho jayega.", Wo Preeti ko hilati boli toh Preeti ko hosh aaya.
"Huh.. Sahi baat hai. Ye dono toh jagah he bhool gaye hai aur yahi shuru kar dia." Preeti ko baat ko sunkar Ritu ne Naa me gardan hila di.
"Sirf sath soye hai. Chaadar thik hai aur Arjun beshak aisi waisi harkat kar de Bua nahi karengi. Main neeche chali ab tu agle 2 minute me kisi ek ko alag kar." Itna bol kar woh bhaag gai neeche.
'Kaisa pati dia hai bhagwan jo patni ke saamne he kisi ke sath bhi pada rehta hai.' khud ki baat par muskurati woh andar dakhil hui aur araam se sirf bua ko hilaya. Kuch der me he unhone aankhen khol Preeti ko dekha toh bas muskura di.
"Oh bua. Ye apna ghar nahi hai aur naa he raat hai. Koi aa gaya toh fir shaamat aa jayegi. Ye mandbuddhi bhi pagal hai. Chalo utho bahot so chuki aap.", Thoda sharmati si Renuka baat samajh kar sapno se bahar aai aur Arjun ke haath ke neeche takiya rakhti uth gai.
"Sach me yar. Pata nai kaise ho gaya.", Saree ko thik karti woh sharma rahi thi.
"Chalo atcha hai ke kisi ne nahi dekha nahi toh ho gaya tha aaj kaam." Unko drawing room ke raste bahar leke jaati woh boli. Dono neeche aaye toh Renuka bua bathroom chali gai aur Preeti wapis kamr me Ritu-Alka ke pas.
