Update 74
Aaj-Samaaj
Akanksha ki halat ab behtar thi aur Arjun poore ghar ko atche se saaf kar chuka tha.
"Tum ye 2 tablets kha lena aur koi jyada bhag-daud nahi. Ho sake toh raat ko neeche kuch mat pehan-na.", Arjun ki bahon me jhoolti Akanksha drawing room ke darwaje tak aai thi aur woh usko pyaar se samjha raha tha kya karna hai kya nahi. Raat ke 9:30 baj chuke the.
"Tumhara irada thik nahi lag raha mister. Kahi itna dhyaan rakhne ke baad fir se toh nahi karne wale.?"
"Pagal ladki. Ab utro aur ye darwaja band kar lo. Yaad se tablet aur haldi wala doodh.", Arjun ne uske paanv jameen par tikate hue fir se chetaya aur ek halka sa chumban karne ke baad gali me aa gaya. Halki boonde girni shuru ho gai thi lekin ya itni bhi jyada nahi thi ki Arjun kuch he der me bheeg jata. Sunsaan sadak par aise akela chalta woh kuch gunguna raha tha.
'aa chal ke tujhe me leke chalu ek aise gagan ke tale... hu hu hu hu..' aur kuch he ghar paar karne ke baad sadak par ek kutta ghuma rahi ek yuvti dikhai di. Gali me itna andhkaar bhi nahi tha khambo par chali peeli roshni ki wajah se. Ye ek lambe balo wala safed chota sa kutta tha jisko us yuvti ne shayad barish ke darr se ab apni goad me utha lia tha. Jaise he woh yuvti palti Arjun bhi thoda najdeek aa chuka tha.
"Good evening Miss.", Apne aap yahi nikla uske mooh se chehra dikha dete he. Dono ke kadam wahi thithak gaye the.
"Good evening. Tum yaha aur is waqt?", Ek jeans aur halke khule gale ka top pehne Miss Annu Walia, ek hath se apne seene ka samne wala bhaag thik karne lagi thi. Shayad kutte ko upar uthate samay top khinch gaya tha aur kapda kutte ke neeche dab gaya tha.
"Ji abhi apne dost ke ghar se aa raha hu aur yahi 2 gali ke baad beech wali sadak par he mera ghar hai.", Arjun ne bhi najre dusri disha me karte hue kaha. Uske aisa karne par Annu ke chehre par ek halki si muskaan aa gai thi.
"So we are technically neighbours. Good. Mera ghar bhi yahi is gali ke aakhir me hai. Sam ko uthate hue apne peeche parchai dekhi toh palat gai thi. Thank god tum he the.", Apne kutte ko halki thapki deti woh jaise bata rahi thi ki usko darr lag gaya tha.
"Mujhe nahi pata tha ke aap yahi rehti hai."
"Matlab agar pata hota toh tum idhar nahi aate? Chalte hue baat karte hai.", School me woh jaisi abhi tak Arjun ne dekhi thi is samay woh bilul viprit thi. Aur unki baat sunkar woh thoda jhemp gaya tha. Boonde girna bhi bhi waisi he raftar par jari thi. Naam-matra ki
"Nahi Miss aisa nahi hai. Mera kehne ka matlab ye hai ki main yaha rehne wale logo ko nahi jaanta hu. Waise toh main apni gali me rehne walo ko he nahi jaanta toh aaspas toh shayad ek ya 2 logo ko he.", Wo sadak ko dekhte hue chal raha tha aur Miss Annu beech beech me uske chehre ko.
"Naye rehne aaye ho idhar.?
"Nahi Miss, main idhar he paida hua hu lekin ghar wapis 9 saal baad aaya tha abhi pichle he saal. Aur wapis aane ke baad bas ghar ya fir school. Jyada dost nahi hai toh fir bahar nikla he nahi jis se kuch pata chalta."
"Oh. Toh ye baat hai. Waise ek baat pooch lu agar tumhe bura nahi lage toh?", Chalne ki raftar dono ki he kam thi aur in dono ke siwa is samay bahar koi tha nahi toh vatavaran bhi sunsan he tha.
"Aapko permission nahi leni chahiye. Aap meri teacher hai toh kuch bhi pooch sakti hai Miss.", Arjun ne saral bhaav se ye baat kahi thi. Abhi tak usne Miss Annu se najre nahi milai thi.
"Nahi. Ye jaruri hai aur is waqt hum school me nahi hai toh mujhe aisi koi baat karne se pehle permission leni chahiye.", Is baar Arjun ne sath chalti Miss Annu ko dekha toh woh hawa se aage ki taraf aai ek julf ko kaan ke peeche kar rahi thi. Ye dekhte he usne najre wapis saamne ki taraf kar li. Lekin Miss Annu bhi uska aisa karna dekh chuki thi.
"Kya abhi tak tum woh class wala mera behaviour aur image apne mann me rakhe ho? Jaise maine tumhare sath bura bartav kia aur gussa dikhaya kal aur aaj ki class me.", Woh shabdo ka chunaav badi dhire karte hue bol rahi thi. Ye awaaj kahi se bhi waisi nahi thi jaise class me hoti thi. Ekdum tej, bhadki hui aur gusse se bhari. Yaha awaaj meethi aur sabhya thi, kisi pyaari se gharelu ladki ki tarah.
"Bilkul bhi nahi. Maine aapko PE ke period me bataya tha na ki galti meri he thi. Aur aap kehti hai toh main fir se sorry ke deta hu. Lekin maine aapki koi image nahi banai hai apne mann me."
"Actually first day mera mood pehle se he kisi baat par kharaab tha aur tumhare aise question ko sunte he sara gussa tumhi pe nikaal dia maine. Aur jab wapis class me aaye toh mujhe laga ke tumhe sabak sikhane ka sahi tareeka hai sabke saamne question poochna aur fir unka jawaab nahi dene par punish karna. Ho gaya ulta aur us se kaam jyada he kharaab hua. Aaj jo class me kia woh bhi kal ki frustration ki wajah se hua lekin jab tum bina kasoor ke class se bahar gaye toh mujhe meri mistake realise ho gai thi. Aur.."
"Aur aap sorry feel kar rahi thi andar se lekin ek teacher hai aap toh ye sochna band kijiye. Aap din me 100 students ko padhati hai aur aise me jaruri hai ke aisi choti-moti batein ignore he kare. Class me strict rehna bhi aapka sahi hai. Balanca bana rehata hai. Shayad aapka ghar aa gaya Miss.", Dono us gali ke modd se pehle bane ghar ke samne khade the. Aur Miss Annu ke ghar ke bahar ki jalti light me unka khoobsurat chehra Arjun ne ab kahi atche se dekha tha.
"Thank you so much for this understanding. Aur tum atche ladke ho, maturity ke sath. Waise barish tej hone lagi hai aur agar tum bheegna nahi chahte toh hum thodi der baramde me khade ho sakte hai.", Miss Annu jaise khud he us se aur baatein karna chahti thi lekin seedha kehne ki jagah baarish ko ek bahane ke taur par kaha.
"Goodnight Miss. Abhi ghar par time se nahi pahucha toh sabko chinta hone lagegi. Good bye Sam.", Arjun ne jaane se pehle dono ko ek najar dekha aur gali me aujhal ho gaya.
"Annu beta andar aa jao. Kitni der tak bahar khadi rahogi. Baarish me bheeg kar bimaar hona hai?", Andar ka darwaja khol kar unke pita ne awaaj lagai toh woh muskurati hui andar chal di. 'Atcha ladka hai.
.
.
"Aao nawaab sahab. Aajkal toh jaise gayab rehne lage ho ghar se.", Arjun apne dada Rameshwar ji ke paas aaya toh tajzia lehje me unhone kaha.
"Kaha dadaji. School, stadium fir padhai. Abhi bas dost ke ghar se aaya hu toh seedha aapse milne aa gaya.", Yahi kamre me Priyanka didi jameen par baithi apni daadi se baalo me champi karwa rahi thi.
"Iska samaan bhi mangwana hai ji aur laddu banane ke liye. Bas kal ke liye he 4 baaki hain. Is maharaja ke pas toh time hai nahi jo is se kuch kahu. DC lag gaya school shuru hote he.", Kaushalya ji bhi kafa thi Arjun se.
"Daadi, aap na gusse me jyada pyari lagti ho. Woh bauji aapko sahi kehte hai, Thanedarni.", Peeche se unke gale lagta woh jaise Kaushalya ji ko manane ki koshish kar raha tha.
"Tu miya-biwi me jhagda karwa dio ab ye baatein bol kar. Chal idhar aa kar baith aur paanv daba mere.", Rameshwar ji ke chehre par wahi chir-paichit khushi thi jo apne is laadle ko dekhne ke baad hamesha aa jati thi. Kaushalya ji bhi palat kar un dono ko dekhti muskurane lagi aur wapis apni pauti ke sar me haath chalane lagi.
"Waise ek baat toh hai dada ji, daadi ke saamne toh aap bhi chup ho jate ho.", Arjun ne Rameshwar ki paanv ke talwe par malish shuru karte hue kaha aur idhar Kaushalya ji ne kaan pakadte hue marod dia uska.
"Sudhar ja O bailbudhi.. Sudhar ja. Tere aane se pehle tere dada bhi yahi bol rahe the aur tu aa gaya ab aag me ghee tapkane..", Kaushalya ji ki baat par Arjun ke me sirf 'oiiiii' nikla wahi Rameshwar ji ke sath is baar Priyanka didi bhi jor se hansne lagi.
"Daadi chodo na.. nahi karta baksh do.", Aur Kaushalya je ne uska kaan chodd dia aur sath he waha se uth kar kamre ke andar he bane store me chal di, jaha unki Godrej ki almaari rakhi thi. Yuhi thodi idhar udhar ki baatein karta hua Rameshwar ji ko apne school aur stadium ki baatein sunane laga aur daadi hath mooh dho kar Rameshwar ji ke liye gilas me garam doodh le kar wapis wahi aa gai.
"Atcha ab thoda apni daadi ke paanv daba de. Dekh bechari sara din kaam karti rehti hai.", Rameshwar ji ne Arjun ko chetaya toh woh bhi bister ke us taraf khisak gaya. Kaushalya ji ne kamar thik karne se pehle doodh ka gilas unhe pakdaya toh woh tek lagate hue bister se baith kar doodh peene lage.
"Joginder keh raha tha ke tere khel me sudhar ho raha hai lekin sath he usne kaha ke Arjun satvik khana khata hai toh uske sharir me utni urza nahi milti hogi jitni aage hone wali mehnat ke liye chahiye.", Kaushalya ji apni baat kehti kehti ruk kar usko dekhne lagi.
"Daadi kaun ye baat kehta hai ke satvik khane se kam taqat milti hai? Rahi baat anda-maans ki toh aapka pauta hu main, jis haath me geeta puraan aur ved liye ho woh itne kamjor nahi ki kisi bejubaan ko jiwan shuru hone se pehle ya baad me sirf isliye khaane lagu ke mera sharir durbal hai. Boxing khelna beshak band kar dunga lekin aisa kuch nahi karne wala. Aur coach sir agar aisa aainda kehe toh bata dena ke Arjun nausikhiya jarur hai lekin sharir me taqat itni hai ke apne 2 mann (80 kilo) ke sharir se 5 mann utha ke chal sakta hu.", Arjun ke chehre ki gambhirta dekh daadi ne uske hath rokte hue uthkar apne seene se laga lia
"Wah mere bache, tu sach me waisi aulaad hai jo main aur tere dadaji chahte the. Mila tu bas paute ke roop me. Aur maine Joginder ko bhi keh dia tha ke uski daadi jitne zinda hai woh khud he teri khuraak ka dhyaan rakh sakti hai.", Pyaar se uska sar sehlati woh bade naaj se keh rahi thi.
"Aur kal Satish ke sath main khud ja raha hu badi market toh jo bhi teri daadi ne samaan mangwaya hai woh khud leke aaunga. Kuch bhi keh lekin sach kahu toh teri mauj hai beta, is umar me bhi biwi aur paute ki sewa karni padti hai tab 2 ghadi araam se sone ko milta hai.", Rameshwar ji ke aisa kehne ke sath he Kaushalya ji ne aankhe tarer kar dekha jaise keh rahi ho ke 'bache ke samne kuch toh soch kar bola karo.'
"Chalta hu daadi nahi toh fir dadaji kahenge ke meri wajah se unhe aapse daant padti hai", Daadi ko gale se lagane ke baad Arjun dono ko goodnight bolta kamre se andar wale aangan ki taraf aa gaya. Yaha Komal didi aur uski maa Rekha ji rasoighar me thi.
"Atcha toh aap dono abhi tak ye kaam he kar rahi hai.", Arjun ne apni maa ko peeche se bahon me bhar lia toh Rekha ji apne bete ki baahe dekh muskura di aur sath he Komal didi bhi.
"Kaam hota he kaha hai mere pas karne ke liye. Ye teri didi toh mujhe hath lagane nahi deti. Khud he dekh le jara bartan ye dho rahi hai, khana bhi aajkal ye aur Priyanka banane lagi hai toh mere pas karne ko kya bacha fir.", Unki baat sunte he Arjun ne bade pyaar se Komal didi ki taraf dekha jo bartan dhoti hui Arjun ko dekh kar khush ho rahi thi. Dono he maa-beti apratim sondarya ki moorat thi sath he sabse jyada usko pyaar karne wali.
"Meri didi hai he itni pyaari aur sabka khayaal rakhne wali.", Woh Rekha ji se alag hota apni didi ke pas khada ho gaya. Bartan bhi lagbhag dhul chuke the aur Rekha ji bas chulhe ko saaf karne ke baad sabhi samaan apni jagah rakhne lagi thi.
"Waise didi, aapne dikhaya nahi aapne colors se kya banaya?", Arjun ko jaise yaad aaya toh usne pooch lia. Komal didi ne apni badi badi aankhon se usko dekha aur ishare se chup rehne ko kaha.
"Atcha tum dono baatein karo aur phir apne apne kamre me chale jana. Roopali mere kamre me padh rahi hai aur wahi soyegi toh main kuch der us se bhi baat kar lu.", Rekha ji ne dono bhai behno ko jaldi sone ka chetaya aur rasoighar me sarsari najar daalne ke baad bathroom chali gai, kapde badal kar sone ke liye.
"Bhai, maa ke samne kyo pooch raha tha? Unhe nahi pata aur main jo bana rahi hu woh sabse pehle tu he dekhega, poora hone ke baad.", Apni didi ko aise thoda naraaj hote dekh Arjun ko unpe bada pyaar aa raha tha.
"Main jaanta hu ke mujhe sab dekhne ki ijajat hai.", Unka hath pakad kar dusre hath se gaal par aaye balo ko peeche karta woh dwiarthi sanwad me bola toh gore chehre par bharpoor laali aa gai thi Komal didi ke. "Chal hatt abhi", hath chudane ki koi hil-hujjatt kiye bina woh sharma rahi thi. Lekin atcha lag raha tha aise Arjun ka unka hath pakde rakhna.
"Atcha didi, aaj ghar me itni shanti kaise hai?", Arjun jaise kuch jaan-na chahta ho.
"Roj he toh hoti hai is samay. Waise aajkal sabke sone ki jagah badal gai hai.", Bartan dhone ki jagah par saaf paani chalti woh ye aakhiri kaam kar rai thi. Sath he Arjun ko aise apne sath vaqt bitate dekh khush bhi thi.
"Matlab? Sabne jagah badal li?", Arjun thoda hairaan hote hue bola.
"Alka aur Ritu ne apna kamra yaha se badal kar upar chacha wale me sab samaan laga lia hai. Aur ab Aarti bhi unke he sath aaj se wahi sone lagi hai. Priyanka tumhare wali taraf ab Tara ke sath hai toh neeche wale ek kamre me Madhuri didi aur Ritu wale me ab se main hu.", Apne hath dhone ke baad keel par latke chote toliye se unhone apne gore-mulayam hath saaf karte hue kaha toh Arjun ye jaan kar thoda hairaan ho gaya. Rasoighar ki light band karte hue Komal didi bathroom me chali gai aur Arjun unke kamre me.
Pehle ye kamra hamesha Alka-Ritu ki awaaj se bhara rehta tha, aaj wahi kamra ek alag he thandak aur sukoon se. Arjun takiye ko modd kar kandhe aur sar ke neeche lagaye darawje ki taraf karwat liye dekhta raha. Koi 5 minute baad he Komal didi andar aai toh zero bulb ki roshni me apne bister par Arjun ko aise unki raah dekhte paaya. Unki chehre par wahi muskaan laut aai jo sirf aur sirf Arjun ke hone par he aati thi. Bina kuch kahe pehle unhone darwaja andar se lagaya aur lamari khol kar jaise kuch karne lagi.
"Aapne kabhi sirf kurta pehna hai raat me?", Arjun ne jaise unki samasya ka nidaan kar dia tha aur apni almari se ek jeena sa kapda nikalne ke baad Komal didi ne pehle toh woh zero ki roshni bhi band kar di aur fir andhere me he sharir par pehne dono kapde utarne ke baad woh ek kapda pehan kar fir se woh choti light jala di. Raat ke hisab se woh roshni paryaapt thi unki aabha dikhane ke liye. Kapde samet kar wapis almari me rakhti woh Arjun ke barabar he aa kar leit gai.
"Waise atcha lagta hai jab tum batate ho ki mujhe kaise kapdo me dekhna tumhe pasand hai. Nahi toh subah jo samne aaya poora sharir dhakne ko woh pehan lia. Raat me kuch us tarah he bas neend lene ke samay.", Unke gale me chamkti sone ki chain dekhta Arjun unki baat sunn raha tha.
"Waise aapko atche se pata hai mujhe aap kaise atchi lagti hai.", Shararat se kahi uski baat unkar Komal didi halka sharmati hui uske aur kareeb aa gai. Arjun bhi thoda aage hota unke sharir ke sath lag gaya.
"Ek tum he ho jiski bas ek jhalak dekhne bhar se dil me sukoon aa jata hai. Bahar sabke sath rehkar main jitna akeli mehsoos karti hu, woh bas tumhare ek pal ke liye pas aane bhar se poore jahaan sa lagne lagta hai, Aaru.", Unki baat sunte he Arjun ko fir ehsaas ho gaya tha ki uski is behan ki duniya hamesha se khud wahi raha hai. Bina swarth aur kaam ke usne Komal didi ki kamar par hath rakhte hue unko hontho ko chooma aur khud se chipka lia. Komal didi ki aankhen apne aap he band ho gai thi aur aise Arjun ka unhe yu sehlana aur pyaar se sar par thapki dena saari thakaan mita gaya tha.
Aaj pehli baar woh kisi chote bache ki tarah simat kar uske seene me chehra lagaye kab so gai unhe khabar bhi na hui. Arjun waise he apni pyaari badi behan ko be-awaaj lori sunata thapkata raha. Sharir uska bhi thaka tha lekin jab tak hath chalte rahe woh unhe sehlata raha aur khud bhi unke sath he so gaya.
.

Aankh khuli toh abhi bahar andhera he tha. Apni baahon ke ghere me soti didi ke maathe ko halke se choom kar Arjun bina awaaj kiye savdhani se bister se niche utar gaya. 2 Takiye unke sath tikane ke baad waise he kamre se bahar aaya aur aasman ki taraf dekha. Sab shaant tha lekin fir bhi andhera he tha abhi. Upar wale kamre me jaa kar bathroom se free hone ke baad kapde badal kar woh bahar wale raste se he ghar se bahar aa khada hua. Fir kuch sochne ke baad wapis andar aaya aur apni cycle ke sath he toliya lete hue woh fir se ghane andhere me he apni manjil ki taraf chal dia. Hawa me halki thandak thi aur paryaapt neend lene se sharir halka mehsoos ho raha tha. Abhi aasman me kuch rang dikhne shuru hue he the.
Jaise he agle sector me pahucha itni subah ek police ki gypsy saamne se aati kareeb se gujar gai. Ek pal ke liye Arjun ne ruk kar dekha toh peeche se woh khali he thi aur saamne ki taraf woh dekh chuka tha ki ek driver aur sath me ek jawaan sa vyakti tha. Fir wapis paidal maarta woh waise he prakriti ka najara karta waha aa pahcha tha jaha sadak gaanv ki taraf mudti thi. Bina break lagaye usne cycle gaanv ki taraf badha di aur agle 10 minute me cycle pulia ke upar lagi lohe ke grill ke sath lagi khadi thi. Aur Arjun toliya uthaye neeche ki taraf chalta jungle wali jagah aa gaya.
"waah", uske mooh se bas yahi nikla jab woh nehar ki diwar par aa khada hua.
Paani diwar tak upar aaya hua tha aur sath he kisi gehre rang ke sheeshe sa chamak raha tha. Ek saar me behta paani aur peeche kahi kahi se aati mor ki pihu-pihu ki awaaj. Kuch der ke liye is jannat se najare ko dekhne ke baad Arjun wahi kinare par apna track pajama aur tshirt utar kar rakhne ke baad seedha kood gaya.
"Chhapaaak" ki awaaj jaise us poore biyaavaan jungle ki shanti bhnag karti sunaai di aur Arjun us thande behte paani me tairta aage nikal gaya. 300 meter ke lagbhag door puliya ke neeche se nikalne ke baad wahi side ki diwar pakad bahar aata woh kinare kinare chalte hue fir wahi aa khada hua. Aur ek baar fir wahi kram dohra dia. Takriban agle aadhe ghante woh nehar me koodta, puliya tak jaata aur fir wapis aata. Yahi kar raha tha.
Is baar jaise he woh puliya ke neeche se hota bahar nikla toh saamne hath me louta pakde khadi Savita aur Kajal ko dekh kar kuch pal ke liye ruk gaya. Savita bas tukur-tukur Arjun ke chehre ko dekhe ja rahi thi. Jaise koi jinn uske saamne itni subah aa khada hua ho aur wahi Kajal uske bheege nange jism ko, jispar sirf ek poore kapde wala underwear tha. Apne geele lambe baalo ko dono hatho se peeche karta woh bina kuch kahe sune waise he is taraf wapis aa gaya aur aate he toliya utha kar khud ko paunchne laga.
Aasmaan me ab halki roshni fail chuki thi. Ye bhor ka wahi samay tha jo suraj ke ugne se pehle hota hai. Ek taraf halki neeli-laali aur ek taraf khatam hota andhera.
"Toh aajkal machli dikhne lagi gaanv ki nehar me bhi.", Badan sukha ke woh seedha khada hua he the ke gol chand sa chehra aur raat si kaali aankhon wali Kajal uske pas aa khadi hui. Apne dusre hath se he usne Savita ka bhi hath pakda tha jisne ab apne chehre ke saamne chunni bandh li thi.
"Tum shayad magarmach bolna chahti thi.", Ajrun ne kamar par bandhe toliye ke upar se he pajama pehante hue kaha aur fir ek nigah Savita ke masoom se chehre par bhi daali. Arjun ko yu apni taraf dekhte hua paya toh Savita ne najre jameen par gada di.
"Atchi baat nahi hai waise ye tumhari. Ek toh hamare gaanv aise aate ho aur aate ho toh aate ho bina mile chale bhi jaate ho. Ye bechari toh ek hafta roj dekhti rahi apne ghar ke bahar wali sadak ko ke tum aaj aaoge, ab aaoge.", Natkhat pan dikhati Kaajal ka ishara apni taraf hote dekh Savita ne uski kalai par choonti kaat di.
"Maine kab kaha ye bhala? Aur main inka rastat kyu dekhne lagi?", Savita ne badi talkhi se aisa kaha toh Arjun ne muskurate hue apne chaude seene par tshirt pehan ne ke baad wahi rakhe pathar par baithte hue jawaab dia.
"Haan ye kyu mera rasta dekhne lagi. Aur waise toh tum bhi aisi he ho. Main ek anjaan ladka jo bas yaha aata hai aur chala jata hai.", Woh paanv saaf karne ke baad joote pehan raha tha. Dono he ladkiya usko dekh rahi thi lekin ab koi bhi kuch bola nai.
"Atcha toh phir main chalta hu ji.", Arjun uthne laga toh jaane kaise Savita uske saamne aa khadi hui, himmat karti.
"Taaki fir 2 hafte baad shakal dikhao aur milne ki baat karke gayab ho jao.", Uski awaaj me halka gussa aur uttejana thi. Jo Arjun bhi samajh gaya tha kis wajah se thi.
"haan jaise tum mujhe idhar bitha kar aane ka bol kar gai thi aur fir aaj dikhi ho. Poori barsaat main yahi tha lekin tum naa aai.", Uski baat ka ab koi jawaab na tha Savita ke pas aur woh bina kahe he jab mudd kar jaane lagi toh Arjun ne uska chunni me lipta hath thaam lia.
"Tumhari saheli se thodi der baad mil sakti ho?", Kajal ne ye baat suni toh woh haan me sar hilati hui muskurati hui waha se puliya ke us paar khete ki taraf chalne lagi aur idhar Savita ke najuk sharir me tej sirhan shuru ho gai thi.
"Kya karte ho? Aise kyo pakda mujhe aur koi dekh lega toh kya hoga?"
"Aao idhar baith jao. Aur agar maine jo kia woh atcha nahi laga toh sorry. Waise yaha tumhe koi nahi dekhne wala aur ye tum bhi jaanti he ho.", Arjun ne Savita ko bhi apne saamne bithate hue kaha. Lajjatti simati si woh ek bar sab taraf dekhne ke baad baith gai.
"Haan toh ab batao ki mujhse kya gustakhi hui jo aaj subah subah ye khoobsurat chehra laal kiye ho? Milne tum nahi aai aur khafa bhi tum.", Arjun ki is baat ka woh kya jawaab de sakti thi kyonki usko pata tha ke galti uski thi us din.
"Woh.. woh barish thi aur mujhe laga"
"Yahi laga ke main barish me wapis chala gaya hounga?"
"Hmmm"
"Chalo fir toh kisi ki galti nahi hui toh gusse ki wajah?", Arjun ne hath abhi bhi apne he hath me pakda hua tha aur Savita bhi koi nakhra kiye bina sath baithi thi.
"Tum aaye nahi uske baad ek baar bhi.", Apne badi badi hirani jaisi aankhe uthati woh Arjun ko dekhte hue shikayat kar rahi thi. Arjun ko bhi uska aise kehna bada bhaa raha tha.
"Fir ye baat toh aise honi chahiye thi ki aaj tum aate he sabse pehle yahi baat poochti, gussa hone ki jagah. Kya pata mujhe kuch hua ho.", Arjun ne jaise ye lafz kahe he the ki apna najuk sa hath Savita ne uske hontho par rakh dia aur Arjun ki agli harkat hote he Savita ne sharam se mooh fer lia.
"Gande kahi ke.", Uski lambi najuk unglio ko Arjun ne choom lia tha. Savita ke sharir ko aaj sahi se pata laga tha ke us insaan ka choona kaise alag lagta hai jisko aap pasand karto ho.
"Isme kya ganda tha? Tumhare hath itne sundar hai toh mujhe jo thik laga maine wahi kia. Kal agar tum apna chehra mere pas leke aao toh kya main tumhare ye gulabi honth par kiss nahi karunga? Tab bhi yahi kahogi.?", Savita ka baithna dubhar ho gaya tha Arjun ki aisi baatein sunkar. Woh jaise he sharmati sakuchati si uthne lagi Arjun ne fir se uske dheele jism ko kheench lia.
Is baar Savita ka sampoorn sharir Arjun ke aagosh me tha. Chehre ke saamne uska woh pyara sa chehra. Sharam se band hui aankho par lambi ghani palke aur larajte honth jo shayad awaaj nikalna bhool gaye the. Aur fir Savita ko current sa laga jis se sharir reh reh kar fadakne laga tha. Saanse betarteeb ho gai thi, maathe par bal gaye aur dil ki dhadkan jaise itni bhadd chuki thi ki woh bahar se he mehsoos ho jaye. Arjun ke labo ko apne labo par mehsoos kia tha usne aur fir jaise dono honth Arjun ne badi narmi se ek ek karte hue mooh me bharne ke baad ajaad kiye.
"Ab se na main keh deti hu ki.. mujhse dur rehna.. hhhhuuu.. Gande ho tum.", Saanse durust karti jab woh khadi hui toh woh kaamp rahi thi aur Arjun usko dekh kar muskura raha tha. Fir jab sab yaad aur mehsoos kia tha maare sharam ke woh seedhi pagdandi par bhaag chali.
"Sach me gande ho tum.", Thodi dur rukk kar peeche mudi aur sharam se muskurati fir se woh Arjun ko dekh kar boli.
"Kal main fir yahi milunga tumse.", Arjun ne hawa me chumban dete hue kaha aur us heerni ko kulanche maarte hue jaate dekhne laga. Kuch he deir baad wahi se Kajal uski taraf matakti aa rahi thi. Ab uske hath me louta nahi tha.
"Kya keh dia usko jo woh itni khush hoti hui seedha ghar he jaa ke ruki.?", Ek adaa se Kajal Kamar par hath rakhe khadi hui boli. Wahi sooti lehnga aur chaati par kasi choli pehne woh shararat se Arjun ko dekh rahi thi.
"Kuch nahi. Bas uske hath ko choom lia tha.", Arjun ne apni jagah se khade hote kaha toh Kaajal uske sharir ke bilkul sath lag gai. Kase hue motte doodh Arjun ke seene se thoda neeche choo rahe the.
"Baaki kasar main poori kar deti hu.", Jis adaa se ye baat kahi thi Kajal ne Arjun ko bhi andaaj atcha laga tha. Uske dono foole hue motte kulhe dabata woh Kajal ke chehre ko choom kar bola, "Aaj nahi. Din nikal aaya hai aur fir school hai mera. Kal milta hu yahi par aur dekhta hu ye machli mere se kitni tej hai.", Kaajal bhi uski baat sunkar chehak uthi. Badle me ek meetha chumban Arjun ko karti woh bhi sath chalti puliya tak aa gai jaha Arjun ki cycle khadi thi.

Subah ke 6 baje khoole maidan ki taraf se apni sarkari kothi ki taraf is Bhoore rang ke tambai ghode ki peeth par sawar Dr Shankar raftar dheemi karte hue astabal ke pas lagaam kheenchte hue usko rook kar araam se neeche utar aaye toh ghodo ke dekhbal karne wala ye pakke se rang ka ausat kad kathi wala aadmi unke hath se ghode ki lagaam lete hue khada ho gaya. Safed kasi hui collar wali tshirt aur chust patloon pehne Dr Shankar ne apna chehra toliye se saaf kia.
"Bansi, pawan ko atche se nehlane ke baad iska khurr dikhwa lena Kallu lohar se. Aur woh tumhare khaate me paise dalwa diye the kal toh apni bitiya ka dakhila bhi karwa aana school me. Unko maine phone kar dia tha.", Bansi naam ka unka ye sevak dono hath jodd ke khada raha sar jhukaye, lagaam abhi bhi haath me he thi. Pawan naam ke is ghode ke chehre ko thapthapya toh usne jaise Dr Shankar ke chere par pyaar se apna mooh lagaya.
"Good boy. Aur koi dikkatt pareshani toh nahi?", Fir se Pawan ko chehre ko sehlane ke baad unhone Bansi se uske sath he chalte hue poocha.
"Nahi maalik. Aur kachu naahi chaahi. Aap pehle he itta sab kiye ho hamar khatir ke 10 janam leke bhi aapka hrin nahi utaar paavenge. Upar se bitiya ka dakhila bi peeraivate (Private) school me kara dei ho.", Bansi anukampa se hath jodte hue he unke peeche chal raha tha.
"Tumhara haq tumhe dia hai bhai toh ehsaan kaisa. Aur bitiya ka bhi bachat khata khulwa dete hai jis se kal agar shaadi karni ho toh tumhare par koi atirikt bhaar na aaye. Shaam ko aaj main yahi ghar aaunga hospital se toh ek baar safaai dekh lena.", Bansi waise he hath jode rukk gaya aur apne maalik ko jaate dekhne laga. Saamne ek junior doctor khadi thi hath me kuch kagaj leke aur thodi he duri par Bhuppi (Driver).
"Good morning Sir.", Woh koi 25-26 saal ki khoobsurat yuvti thi. Khulle bhoore baal, jo kandhe se kuch neeche tak the, bade safaai se sambhaale hue. Gulabi-safed chust salwar kameej ke upar ek doctor coat pehne is ladki ki muskaan dilkash thi.
"Good morning Dr Lovleen. It's quite early I guess.", Shankar ji ne bhi anushashit swar me he abhivadaan kia. Jis par is yuvti ne pehle kaan ke paas se apne baal thik kiye aur fir aane ki wajah batai.
"Aaj ek important surgery hai sir aur woh bhi schedule se pehle. MLA Lal ji ke bete ki aur unhone CMO sir ko saaf mana karte hue sirf aapme he faith dikhaya hai. Uske baad 4 dead bodies hai jinka postmortum aapke under he mention hai aur ye unke papers hai. DSP Saluja ne ye recommend kia hai ke ye strictly aapke he supervision me conduct ho.", Shankar ji ke chehre par sehaj bhaav the bahar se kyonki unke andar ki muskaan woh kisi bahari ke saamne toh dikhate tak nahi the.
"Thank you. Let's have some coffee and we will leave in 15 minutes. Relax yourself in garden area.", Shankar ji ne is mahila doctor ko kothi ke bahar he rakhi kursi par baithne ko kaha aur khud Bhuppi ke sath gali ki sadak ke kinare khade ho gaye.
"Haan toh Bhuppi ji hukum?", Ye andaaz ab bilkul alag tha kyonki dono ke chehre par muskaan thi.
"Woh main yahi batane aaya tha jo aapke samaan ne bola abhi. DSP ko bol dia tha der raat me he Bade Sangwan ji ne ki ye kothi wale haadse ki report bana de aur kate sharir hawale kar de unke laadle bete Shankar Shambhu ko. Ab jode ya aur kaate uski marji.", Bhuppi ke kandhe par hath rakhe Shankar ji muskurate hue sunn rahe the uski baat. Ek baat toh saaf thi ki Bhuppi jisko sabke saamne driver bataya jata tha woh car driver toh bilkul nahi tha.
"Sangwan chacha apne is bete ke chehre aur kameej par daag ni dekh sakte. Fir beshak saamne wala santri ho ya mantri.. Aur ye mera samaan abhi hua nahi Bhuppi beta lekin tune aaj keh dia toh teri baat poori kar dete hai aaj. Waise bhi konsa shaam me battery leke jungle me fir jana hai.", Bhuppi ne car ki taraf kadam badhate hue hawai salaam kia aur hansta hua seat par ja baitha.
"Chotte Sangwan ne bola hai ke murga banwa ke rakhna. Abhi yaad aaya toh bata dia. Chalta hu Mahadev.", Gaadi pichle gear me daalta woh ek minute baad he gaadi ghumata gali se gayab ho gaya. Shankar ji khud ko durust karte hue wapis kothi ke andar park me aa kar baith gaye.
"Sir Sugar?", Dr Lovleen ne coffee banate hue poocha. Coffee ki tray Bansi ki dharampatni rakh ke gai thi yaha garden me.
"No Sugar and No Milk, doctor.", Shankar ji ne wahi rakhe 'The Tribune' akhbaar par najar daalte hue kaha. Unka jawaab sunkar Dr Lovleen ek pal ke liye unhe dekhti rahi fir ek cup me thermos se daali wahi kale rang ka garam paani unki aur badha dia.
"Thank you."
"Welcome, Sir."
Koi 5 minute baad he apni car me baith kar woh apne sarkari hospital nikal chale. Itne saare kaam jo leke aa gai thi Dr Lovleen unke liye.

"Oh meri pyaari taaiji, aaj kaha aag lagane chal di aap?", Arjun khane ki mej se khali plate lekar rasoighar me rakhne aaya, jaha Priyanka didi aur uski maa Rekha nashta bana rahi thi. Tabhi Lalita ji gehri kaali saadi aur blouse pehan kar andar chali, nahane ke baad. Unko dekhte he Arjun ne shararat karte hue Lalita ji ke gaal choom liye.
"Hatt naaspita. Kuch bhi bolta hai. Dekh le Rekha tere sapoot ko subah subah kaisi baat kar raha hai.", Woh bhi hansti hui uski peeth par chapat lagate hue boli. Rekha ji aur Priyanka didi bhi unki hansi-thitholi dekhkte hansne muskurane lage.
"Aapka he laal hai aur main kya bolu aap dono ke beech me. Waise galat toh kuch kaha nahi waise isne. Kitne he din baad aaj aap khush bhi ho aur damak bhi rahi ho.", Apni devrani ki baat sunkar Lalitaji bhi muskura di.
"Sach me taai ji. Lab toh aaj aap sach me bahot sundar rahi ho. Kala rang janchta hai aap pe.", Ye Priyanka didi thi.
"Arre. Main he mili tum teeno ko din chadhte he. Woh aaj yahi saree saamne aai toh pehan li.", Itna kehti woh bhi chulhe ke pas baith gai aur ishare se Priyanka ko uthne kaha.
"Utarna mat.", Arjun ne unke kaan me itna he kaha jab woh bahar jaane laga aur kehte he bhaag gaya.
"Arre kapoot. Ruk tu.", Woh hansti hui usko lataad rahi thi lekin Arjun bahar bhaag aaya jaha Rupali didi uska intzaar kar rahi thi.
"Dekh le tere sapoot ko. Mujhe love you bol ke bhaag gaya. Naaspita.", Baat ko safai se ghumati woh waise he mohak hansi ke sath fir kaam me lag gai.
.
.
"Bhai aaj shaam ko tu kuch kar raha hai kya?", Sandeep bhi aaj inke he sath school ja raha tha. Jab Rupali aur Akanksha baatein karti aage chalne lagi toh peeche woh dono chal rahe the.
"Kyu? Ab kya ho gaya bhai? Shaam ko kya karna hai?", Arjun ne cycle ka handle pakad kar chalte hue uski taraf dekha.
"Woh bhai didi ke hone wale saas-sasur aa rahe hai aaj ghar. Toh papa ne mujhe kaha tha ke tere ko bata du ke unhone 6 baje tujhe ghar bulaya hai.", Sandeep ki baat sunkar Arjun ko khushi hui lekin woh kuch soch me doob gaya.
"Bhai unhone jo kaha maine keh dia. Maine bataya tha ke tu 7 baje tak he wapis aata hai stadium se. Baaki jo tujhe thik lage.", Sandeep ne usko sochte dekha toh khud he jaise jawaab banane laga tha.
"Arre aisi koi baat nahi hai. Aur main 6 se pehle aa jata hu be ghar. 7 toh tabhi bajte hai jab kuch kaam ho market ka. Ghar jaane ke baad bol dena ke main aa jaunga.", Arjun ka jawaab sunkar Sandeep ne rahat ki saans li.
"Thank you bhai. Tu toh janta he hai ke mere papa tujhe bahot maante hai."
"Toh main bhi toh unke liye he aa raha hu. Tere sath video game khelna maine kab ka chodd dia hai.", Dono aise he baatein karte school aa pahuche jaha aaj woh roj ka dikhne wala jhund gayab tha.
"Hello. Ruko jara ek minute." Ye awaaj unke peeche se aai toh Sandeep ne palat kar dekha.
"Bhai. Peeche ye lady shayad tujhe he bula rahi hai.", Rupali aur Akanksha andar ja chuke the aur ye dono bhi bas gate par pahuche he the ki Sandeep ke kehne par Arjun ne palat kar dekha toh usko andar jaane ka bol kar woh is mahila ki taraf chal dia. Rikshawale ko kiraya dene ke baad Menaka sadhe kadmo se chalti Arjun ki taraf he aa rahi thi.
"Aap yaha?", Halke cream color ki saree aur waisa he blouse. Koi khas sondarya prasadhan lagaye bina sirf halki si hontho ke rang ki he lipstick lagaye Menaka ko ekdum se yu apne saamne dekh pal bhar ke liye Arjun hairaan ho gaya. Woh bhi ek pal ke liye hairaan hui thi lekin chehre se jaahir kiye bina woh bas halke se muskura kar usko dekh rahi thi.
"Haan toh kaha hona chahiye tha mujhe? Wo alag baat hai ke 2 din deri se aai hu pariwarik kaam ki wajah se lekin mujhe padhana ab yahi hai. Ab chalo mere sath andar.", Arjun jaise bandhi dor ki tarah sath chal dia. Baar baar woh Menaka ke chehre ko dekhta aur fir seedha.
"Konsi class me ho?", Jab vidhyalaya ke prangan me aa gaye toh Menaka ne apna folder-purse chaati ke saamne dono hatho se rakhte hue poocha.
"11th C, non-medical."
"Thik hai. Phir period ke baad milte hai aur kuch kaam bhi hai tumhare layak.", Hath hilati woh Teachers Room ki taraf chali gai. Arjun abhi bhi wahi khada bas dekh raha tha aur soch raha tha ke ye uske he school me aane wali thi. Fir sar jhatakta woh jab class ki taraf chalne laga toh kai jodi aankhon ko khud ko he ghurta paya. Students aur unme se ek teacher.
.

"Bhai Arjun ye Vidhya madam se tution rakhne ka soch raha hu. Tu bhi chalega kya?", Abhi class shuru nahi hui thi aur sabhi baithe the. Dharminder ne apne se aage, diwar se tek lagaye Arjun se math me apni kamjori ki baat karte hue baat shuru ki.
"Bhai woh yaha bhi wahi padhati hai jo ghar pe padhayengi. Naya kya hai udhar."
"Tu Dharminder ka matlab ni samjha. Kamjori sharirik hai iski.", Ye baat Sushil ne kahi toh chaaro hans diye aur tabhi teacher bhi aa gai.
Topic shuru kia aur agle bees minute tak bade prabhashali tarike se woh sab samjhane lagi. 40 ke aaspas hone par bhi unki shakhshiyat aisi thi ki naye naye jawaan ho rahe ladko ke liye woh jaise Kaamdevi ka roop thi. Lekin sard aur spasht lehje ki wajah se kisi ki atirikt baat karne ki himmat nahi hoti thi. Yahi haal abhi in sabka tha.
"Ok class. Now it's your turn. Ye aapne solve karna hai aur 5 minute diye jaate hai.", Ek sawaal board par likhne ke baad unhone sath he hajiri lagani shuru kar di. Akanksha, Koyal, Arjun aur ek ladke ke siwa baaki sabhi agle 5 minute gujarne ke baad bhi likhte rahe.
"Haan toh isko board par kon solve karega?", Aur jawaab me Arjun ko chodd kar baaki teeno ne hath utha diye. Vidhya madam ne chasme ke kinare se Arjun ko dekha aur fir kuch kahe bina Akanksha ko sawaal board par hal karne ko kaha. Jo bilkul sahi tarike se usne kia bhi.
"Good girl. And now rest of the class, please focus. Ye abhi starting hai aur yahi dhyaan nahi doge toh fir math lene ka fainsla galat he hoga. Aur ab ye kal ke topic se sawaal hai. Isko kare, itne main aati hu.", Ek aur sawaal likhne ke baad unhone Arjun ko saamne aa kar khade hone ko kaha aur bahar chali gai.
"Bhai, tu toh bach gaya lekin baaki fass gaye. Ye sawaal topic se jarur hai lekin aadha. Integration poora kaha padhaya hai.", Dinesh math me thik tha lekin ye sawaal poori class me sirf 2 log he kar rahe the. Arjun bas khada tha samne Dinesh ki baat sunta.
"Bacha nahi hu abhi main. Shayad punish hone wala hu.", Arjun ne itna kaha aur ishare se Dinesh ko Koyal aur Akanksha ko dekhne ko kaha. Dono he lagi hui thi apni copy me pen ke sath.
"Bhai ye battery bhi bahot tej lagti hai.", Koyal Grover ne suna jo Dinesh ne kaha fir wapis sawal me lag gai. Baki dosto ke chehre par hansi thi jo gayab hone wali thi ab.
"Haan toh tum teeno. Aur tum dono. Saamne aa kar hath khade kar lo.", Class me ek khulli khidki se Vidhya madam ne sabkuch dekha tha aur andar aate he Arjun ke teeno dost aur aakhiri kataar wale dono ladko ko diwar ke sath hath seedhe karke khada kar dia.
"Mam mera ho gaya.", Ye awaaj 2 baar goonji aur madam ne dono ladkio ki copy dhyaan se dekhi.
"Hmmm. Ye aapka last step galat hai beta. Exam me solve karti toh 5 me se 4 marks milte. And almost same here. Ye answer kyo galat hai Koyal jara Akanksha ki copy se dekh kar batao.", Woh dono he ladkio se prabhavit hui lekin unki dono ki he galtiya aapas me dekh kar samajhne ka bol kar wapis kursi par aa baithi.
"So, Arjun Sharma. Start.", Apna chasma theek karti woh kursi ko board ki taraf he ghuma kar dekhne lagi. Jaha Arjun kisi manjhe hue adhyapak ki tarah savaal ke har charan ko samjhate hue likh raha tha. Chalk par pakad atchi thi aur waise he likhawat bhi. 2 minute ke baad he chalk ko wapis table par rakhta woh ek taraf khada ho gaya.
"Ab samajh aaya sabhi ko ki focus rakhna kitna important hai class me. Kuch student hote hai aise jo lagta hai batein kar rahe hai lekin dhyaan unka class me hota hai. Aur tum teeno bhi thoda iske sath rehte ho toh 50% dhyaan lagao iski tarah. And Arjun now you may sit.", Sabhi ko unki seat par bithane ke baad woh bhi bell bajte he chali gai.
Agla period physics lab ka tha aur woh waise he mauj masti me nikal gaya kyonki first lab sirf samjhane ke liye assistant teacher ne di thi. Miss Annu Walia najar nahi aai.
.
.
Aaj Darshan Sir ne class me sabhi bacho ko apne parichit andaaj me padhane ke sath he gana bhi sunaya aur uska majedar english translation karte hue lotpot kar dia tha. Chapter khatam hone ke baad question pooche toh galat jawab walo ki class me anupasthithi aur sahi jawab walo ko toffee. Matlab hansane ke sath he unhone ye bhi bata dia tha ke kaksha ki ahamiyat kya hai.
"Bhai ye uncle ji toh khatarnaak nikle. Lag gai meri absent majaak majaak me.", Dharminder padhaku tha lekin class me aaj pehla sawaal us se he poocha gaya tha toh usne majaak me he galat jawaad dia tha.
"Bhai dekh 5 period hai toh itni der toh hum log dhyaan rakh he sakte hai.", Sushil ki is baat par Arjun aur Dinesh ne bhi samarthan dia. Taye hua ke majaak sirf majak ke samay aur jaha dhyaan dena hai waha bas dhyaan.
Menaka Singh ke pas aaj Computer claas thi aur unki he lab me sabhi students ne sirf computer ki jaruri baatein samjhi. Kitne part, kiska kya kaam, aur kaise type karte hai. Yaha ek-2 baar Arjun aur Menaka ki aankhen jarur mili lekin us se jyada kuch khas na hua.
Chemistry ki madam ne bhi parichaya lia aur kitab ke baare me thoda baatein karne ke baad agle din se topic shuru karne ka bol kar class free kar di.
"Sandeep didi ko ghar tak chodd dena main thodi der tak aaunga ghar.", Akanksha se uska haal chal Arjun ne le lia tha class me jab dono he reh gaye the us samay. Aur himmat dikhati us ladki ne bhi Arjun ke gaal par kiss karke bata dia tha ki woh us se kitna pyaar karti hai.
"Tum nahi chaloge sath.?", School prangan me jab ye charo eksath the tabhi Akanksha ne pooch lia.
"Nahi. Thoda kaam hai aur didi aap bata dena ghar par.", Fir teeno he nikal gaye aur Arjun wahi bheetar wale praangan me baith kar Menaka ki pratiksha karne laga. Sath he soch bhi raha tha ke kyaa kaam hoga aur woh subah kaise itna khulkar uske sath andar tak chali aai thi.
"Hello Arjun.", Awaaj sunte he chabutare par paanv latkaye baitha Arjun jhatt khada hua.
"Good afternoon Miss.", Saamne khadi Miss Annu ko dekhte he Arjun atche vidhyarthi ki tarah apni jagah se uth khada hua. Lekin hamesha gambhir rehne wali Miss Annu Walia is samay thodi khush dikh rahi thi. Aaj pehnawa bhi alag tha. Neela jamuni rang ka karigari wala tang pajami wala salwar kameej, kandhe se seene ki taraf se jameen ki taraf jaat seedha matching dupatta aur ek dheele rubber me sar se bandhe ghane baal
"Arre don't be formal at this time. Baitho araam se. Kisi ka wait kar rahe the?", Kaano me kisi choti choodi ke jaisi he maheen dhaatu ki baaliya unke gore gaal ke nichle hisse ko choo rahi thi.
"Ji Miss. Hamari Computer faculty, Miss Menaka Singh ne rukne ke liye kaha hai.", Uski baat sunkar Miss Annu ki choti si muskaan ab khoobsurat khilkhilahat me badal gai thi. Damakte daant, lamba badami akaar chera aur surkh honth. Ye drishya anupam tha jisko Arjun bhi tukur tukur dekh raha tha. Fir jhempte hue najre jhuka li.
"Matlab aaj pehle din woh aai aur yaha bhi Clash of minds.", Apni hansi ko rokne ki koshihs karti woh fir mooh par hath rakhte khadi ho gai thi. Phir Arjun ko jaise he dekha hansi fir chooth gai.
Arjun ne unhe itna khush dekha toh batana jaruri nahi samjha ke baat kahi se bhi aisi nahi thi. Bas usko atcha laga tha ke uski wajah se Miss Annu ke chehre par thodi der ke liye he sahi muskurahat toh aai.
"Hello Menaka. Ye Arjun ne tumhe bhi pehle he din tang kar dia kya? Sach kahu toh student thoda committed hai lekin bura nahi.", Menaka jaise he unke pas aai toh Annu ne hath milate he Arjun ki baat shuru bhi kar di.
"Arre, ye mujhe tang karega? Kya Annu isne tujhe bataya nahi kya? Families known hai hamari aur main kal he aai hu yaha wale ghar me. Toh aaj iske jimme kuch kaam lagane the isliye roka hai isko.", Ab baari hairaan hone ki Miss Annu ki thi. Woh ab Arjun ko thoda gambhir chehre se dekh rahi thi. Aur wahi Arjun soch raha tha ke Menaka ne ye kyo kaha ke unke pariwar aapas me ek dusre ko jaante hai.
"Atcha toh ye baat hai. Lekin isne toh kuch bataya he nahi. Mujhe laga ke .. Chal chodd ye baat. Waise ab shift ho gai ho toh hamare ghar bhi aao evening. Arjun Sharma ko toh pata bhi hamara ghar.", Jaane kis wajah se woh ekdum he aise baat karne lagi thi. Arjun dono se kuch kadam peeche ho kar khada ho gaya tha. Agle 2-3 minute he dono ne baatein ki aur fir hath milati hui alag ho gai. Jaane se pehle Miss Annu ne ek baar najar utha kar jarur dekha tha Arjun ko jo ab sar jhukaye thodi dur khada tha.
"Chale hum.", Arjun ne Menaka ko kareeb aate he talkhiya swar me poocha.
"Haa chalo. Lekin tumhari motorcycle kaha hai?", Arjun ne sath chalte hue apne maathe par hath rakh lia unki baat sunkar.
"Subah dekha tha na ke main cycle se aaya tha. Aur woh bhi maine bhijwa di apne dost ke hath. Pehle ye toh batao ke kaam kya hai apko? 5 minute me motorcycle bhi le aaunga", Arjun Menaka ke sath school se nikal kar bahar peid ke neeche aa khada hua tha.
"Hmmm. Market jana hai aur ghar ka jururi samaan lena hai. Matlab ration aur gharelu jarurat ka samaan. Baaki rehne ke baad pata lagega aur kya lena hai. Bhai toh kal raat ko chodd kar subah andhere me he wapis chala gaya.", Menaka jaise khud ko bebas maan rahi thi shehar aane ke baad.
"Chalo mere sath. Ye bhi koi kaam hue.", Arjun ne bedhyani me hath pakda aur sadak par karte hue Menaka ko lekar school se dusri taraf wali seedhi sadak par chalne lage. Woh bhi bina jyda soche/kahe sath chalne lagi.
"Auto.", Sadak kinare apne se thodi start khade hue autoriksha ko ruke rehne ki awaaj dene ke baad woh Menaka ke sath usme baith gaya.
"Special hai. Pehle sector wali market le chalo.", Menaka Arjun ke sath baithi bas dekh rahi thi ki woh kya keh raha hai aur kaise kar raha hai. Sirf ek din he mili thi woh is ladke se lekin us din he ye ek aisi ammitt chaapp chodd gaya tha dil par ki is bade shehar me woh khud ko akela mehsoos nahi kar rahi thi ab. Koi 5 minute baad he dono sector ki is market me tha jaha Arjun hamesha ghar ka samaan lene aata rehta tha.
"Yahi rukna aur chaho toh itne chai-thanda pee lo bhai. 15-20 minute lagenge samaan lene me.", Arjun ne utarne ke sath he jeb se paise nikal kar dene chahe toh autowale ne hanste hue mana kar dia.
"Aap kaam kar lo bhaiya ji fir jaha aapko pahuchana hai wahi paise de dena.", Ye bhi ek hansmukh sa vyakti tha. Fir Menaka ko sath liye he bade kiryane ki dukaan par aa khada hua. Yaha woh chalte samay ab ahtiyaat rakh raha tha.
"Uncle ji, ye saaman jara pack karwa dijiye chotu ko bolkar.", Dopahar ke samay dukaan lagbhag khali thi aur dukaan wala pehchanta tha Arjun ko toh jhatt se parchi lekar woh chottu ko samaan nikalne ke liye ek ek cheej bolne laga. Unhe bhi 5 minute ka bolkar Arjun sabji wali rehdiyo ki pas aa gaya. Chahya me sabji par geeli bori daale ye 3-4 rehdi wale grahak na hone ki wajah se ungh rahe the.
"Bhaiyya.. Ye sabji tol dijiye jara jo bhi madam bataye aapko.", Awaaj sunte he rehdi wale bhi khud ko jhaadte hue peepal ke peid ki chaanv me bane chabutare se khade ho kar aa gaye.
"Ji bhabhi ji bataye. Sabhi sabjiya taaji hai aur bhaiya ji ko pata hai ke daam bhi jyada nahi lagate hum." Menaka unhe batane lagi aur Arjun wahi choti dukano me khuli davaai ki dukaan par aa gaya.
"Ek goodnight, ek savlon, 2 dettol sabun, ek #### shampoo, ek cotton roll, bandage packet, disprin aur kuch band-aid de dijiye.", Dukan wale ne bhi samaan sath he nikal kar de dia aur paise dene ke baad Arjun sara samaan ek packet me liye wapis sabji wale ke pas aa khada hua. Sabjiyan bhi lifafe me daal kar ek taraf rakhi hui thi.
"Chaliye ye auto me rakh deta hua fir ration le aate hai." Aise he kul 20-25 minute me he sara samaan ab auto me aa chuka tha aur fir Menaka ne baithne ke baad autowale bhaiya ko ghar ka pata bataya.
"Bhaiya 1110, sector xx me jana hai."
"Ye sath wali sadak par seedha chaliye bhai. Aur ye agle sector ke daai taraf.", Arjun ne jab rasta samjhaya toh Menaka ascharya se dekhne lagi.
"Ghar kab aaye tum mere?"
"Oh madam ji, main yahi rehta hu aur roj udhar se running karta jata hu. Sector ki shuruwaat me he lohe ka teernuma board laga hai 1112-1100 number ka. Aur aage jaate hue number kam hote jaayenge aur fir dusri taraf shuru ho jayenge.", Unki baatein sunta autowala bhi muskurata hua agle sector me pahuch kar kone se teesre makaan ke saamne ruk gaya. Sector saaf suthra aur khula tha. Jaise ke abhi yaha aabadi jyada nahi thi toh is gali me bhi sirf 3-4 ghar he bane the. Lekin chalti sadak aur agle sector ki market se pas he tha toh yaha darne jaisa kuch nahi tha.
"Kitne hue bhai"
"50 rupaye bhaiyya ji.", Menaka apne purse se dene lagi lekin tabtak Arjun paise de kar samaan utaar kar is ek manjila makaan ke gate ke saamne rakh chuka tha. Menaka ne purse se chabi nikal kar tala khola aur thaila uthane lagi toh Arjun ne aankhon se he mana kar dia.
"Aap chaliye madam, aap kasht mat kijiye bas ye andar wala darwaja bhi khol dijiye.", Uski baatein sunti Menaka ne muskurate hue ye ghar ke andar wala lakdi ka darwaja khola aur Arjun ko andar aane ki jagah di. Drawing haal ke andar ki taraf he rasoighar ki slab par samaan rakhne ke baad Arjun wahi pade sofa par baith gaya. Dhool mitti se bachane ke liye inpar abhi bhi kapda dhaka tha.
"Tum sath na hote toh main soch soch kar he pagal ho jati ke kaise ye sab karungi main akele. Aur hum jaha se abhi aaye waha se toh school jyada dur bhi nahi laga. Thank you so much.", Sneh se Arjun ke baalo me hath ferti woh keh rahi thi.
"Waise ghar atcha hai aapka. Aur har cheej dhaki kyo hui hai abhi tak?"
"Bataya tha na ke kal he raat aaye the aur aaj chota bhai waapis chala gaya. Ab toh ek hafte baad he woh aayega apni biwi ko sath leke. Uske aane ke baad shayad ye jyada na khatke. Atcha tum baitho main kapde badal kar aati hu.", Menaka aise vyavahaar kar rahi thi jaise barso ki pehchaan ho aur Arjun koi uska khaas kareebi.
"Nahi nahi. Ab aap araam karo main chalta hu ghar aur agar kaho toh main khana pack karwa ke la deta hu aapko.", Arjun khada hone laga toh Menaka rasoighar ke sath bane apne shayankaksh se wapis bahar aa gai.
"Oye ye kya baat hui. Maine tumhe ye sab kaam isliye nahi kahi ki tum mere student ho. Yaad rakho hum pehle dost hai aur baad me meri naukari ki wajah se teacher-student.", Uska hath pakadti woh wapis sofa par bitha kar saree me lagi pin nikalti kamre me chali gai. Arjun bhi fir sharir ko dheela chodd kar aankhen band karta pasar gaya.
"Ab uth bhi jao toh kuch khana khaye ya aaj vrat rakhna hai.?", Arjun ne palke kholi toh chehre ke samne jhuki hui Menaka aur uske gale se dikhti chikni gehri khaai najar aai. Ek baar fir se aankhe band karne ke baad kholi toh Menaka saamne baithi muskura rahi thi. Is samay ek chust sooti salwar kameej me baithi woh table par dono ke liye khana plate me daal rahi thi.
"Oh. Main kitni deir se so raha tha.?", Poora ghar saaf tha aur sofe, table, tv kisi par bhi kapda nahi dhaka tha. Parde atche se lage the jis se kamre me thandak thi.
"Hum 2 baje ghar aaye the aur abhi 2:50 hue hai. Matlab ki sirf 50 minute se tum so rahe ho. Atcha ab utho aur hath mooh dho kar aa jao.", Arjun angdaai leta hua khada hua tha shirt ka chaati ke thik saamne wala button chatak gaya. Menaka ne bhi ye dekh lia tha aur woh muskura rahi thi.
"Pehalwan he ho poore. Pata nahi school me kaise ho ab tak.", Arjun waise he baat sunta idhar wale kamre me bane bathroom me he aa gaya. Wash-basin par sab samaan apni jagah tha. Fir chehra dhone ke baad jab toliya uthaya toh uske neeche tangi safed mulayam bra bhi saamne aa gai.
"Bahut jaldi kaam kar lia aapne itne he samaya me.", Arjun saamne he baith gaya. Menaka jaise kahi khoi hui si dono plate me khana lagane ke baad table ko he dekh rahi thi. Fir jaise woh jaagi ho aur ek baar samne baithe hue Arjun ko dekha aur chehra mukurate hue durust karne ka pryaas karne lagi.
Menaka sach me khana atcha banati thi. Sadharan si aalu pyaaz ki tamatar ras wali ye sabzi bhi Arjun ki rasna par swaad ka asar dikha gai. Ek chammach raita jaise he chakha toh ye bhi bilkul he alag tha. Fir se ek chammach sirf swaad ko pehchaan ne ke liye khaya aur ek nazar saamne dekha toh Menaka khud na khati hui bas Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Jaldi se ek garam roti dabbe se nikal kar Arjun ki plate me rakh di.
"Gheeya ka raita hai. Pasand nahi aaya kya? Woh apni thuddi par hatheli rakhe kohni sofe ki pusht se tikaye fir se Arjun ko dekhne lagi thi.
"Itni sadharan sabjiyo ka swaad bhi aisa nirala aur swadisht ho sakta hai bas abhi abhi pata chala hai. Atcha khana bana leti ho aap lekin main dekh raha hu ke aapne toh khana shuru bhi nahi kia hai.", Arjun ki baat ka woh kya jawaab deti fir bhi apni gardan hilati bas khaane ka upkram karne lagi. Kuch samay baad Arjun khada ho gaya aur hath dhone ke baad Menaka ke sofe ke barabar aa khada hua. Woh ek roti jaise taise khaane ke baad waise he baithi thi.
"Ghar nahi dikhaogi?"
"Haan Haan. Kyo nahi. Main bhi dikhana chahti thi.", Menaka uth khadi hui aur dupatta thik karti woh Arjun ko sath leti hui pehle dusri taraf chal di. Ye bhi ek bada aur atche se saheja hua shayankaksh tha. Lakdi ka atcha kaam tha ek poori diwar par bani almaari ke bahar ki taraf. Bada bister, aadamkad aaina aur jo bhi ek kamre me hona chahiye woh sabhi. Idhar bhi ek sath he juda bathroom. Peeche aangan me jaate hue darwaja khol kar woh dikhane lagi is thode khulle se sangmarmar ke farsh wale aangan ko jaha ek taraf 2 toonti lagi thi. Ye abhi bilkul he khaali tha. Udhar se he Menaka wale kamre ka darwaja khol kar andar aaye toh kamre ki light jalati woh ye kamra bhi dikhane lagi. Ek kone me rakha hua computer abhi dhaka hua tha table ke upar. Wapis udhar se drawing room ki taraf aaye toh 'C' ke aakaar me bani wali susajjit rasoi jaha sab bijli ke upkaran bhi lage the.
"Upar bhi ek kamra hai.", Menaka ne kaha lekin Arjun bas dhyaan se usko he dekh raha tha.
"Main kuch bhi nahi puchunga lekin agar kuch aisa hai jiski wajah se main woh dekh nahi pa raha toh khud ko wapis waise he roop me badal lijiye. Ye aankhon ki jyada pehchaan nahi hai mujhe lekin aapki aakhon me aaj main woh akelapan aur dard dekh raha hu jo aapke liye bilkul sahi nahi hai.", Menaka ne bharsak koshish ki thi khud ko khush dikhane ki, khud ko majboot rakhne ki lekin ye nasamajh sa dikhne wala masoom ladka itni badi baat kar gaya ke uske chehre par jamaane bhar ka gum ghane kaale baadlo sa umad aaya tha.
"Meri kismat is ghar ke jaise he hain Arjun, isme jarurat ka samaan toh hai lekin kya jeene ke liye bas yahi jaruri hota hai? Khoobsurat bejaan diwaaron ki tarah nahi hu main lekin ek vidhwa ka kasoor kya hota hai? Meri maa, bade chote dono bhai ne is dauran koi pyaar ke 2 shabd nahi kahe lekin tum paraye ho kar bhi samajh gaye ke main jaise bojh me dabi hu.", Aankhon se ashrudhara behne lagi thi uske aur Arjun ne kisi apne he ghar ke bade ki tarah bas baahon me lete hue sar ke pichle hisse par hath rakhte hue Menaka ko bas rone diya, lekin sahara bane hue.
"Maine kaha tha na ke main jyada nahi jaanta toh tumhe bhi waisa he karna chahiye. Samaaj ko jyada nahi jaan-na chahiye nahi toh woh khud ki banaai itni beddiya pehna deta hai ke har taraf har insaan aisa dikhne lagta hai jo phir ek naya kayda lekar saamne aa khada ho. Tum berang nahi reh sakti ye samaaj ko pata hona chahiye Menaka. Safed indrdhanush jinhone nahi dekha woh isko berang bolte hai toh aise samaaj me khud ko itna majboot rakho ke woh najre milane ki himmat na kare. Woh maa bhi bechari samaaj ke bojh se bandhi hai aur woh bhai bhi. Lekin zindagi tumhari hai aur jis Menaka ko maine pehli baar dekha tha, woh meri dost apne aap me ek behti hui byaar thi. Murjhane mat do nahi toh rooh berang hui toh phir jeena har gujarte din ke baad bas us andhkaar sa lagega, jiske baad ujaala nahi hota.", Arjun ki school dress wali kameej saamne se poori bheeg chuki thi Menaka ke aansuo se lekin Arjun dwara sneh se samjhane aur thapkiya dene se Menaka ka rudan shaant ho chuka tha.
"Koi tumsa he nasamajh kyo na mila mujhe dard ko samajhne wala? Tum bahot samajhdar ho Arjun."
"Woh sab baad me Miss Menaka Singh, ek toh Raja Ram Mohan Rai itni badi ladaai ladd kar gaye the aapke haq ke liye aur aap ho ki kisi bachi si roti apne he student ke gale lagi khadi ho. Kal ko mujhe jarurat hui ek kandhe ki toh keh dogi bahar niklo, tharki ladke.", Arjun ki is chuhal se woh bheegi aankhen aur chehra uthati usko dekh muskurai aur bathroom me daud gai. Gubaar hata diya tha ek nasamajh ne uske dil par chaaya.
"Waise aap na woh saree-waree mat pehna karo. Suit jyada atche lagte hai aap par aur agar naye lene ho toh main markeeting ka kaam bhi karta hu ek badi dukaan ke liye. Kabhi le chalunga jab aapki ye bejaan char-diwari ko hara-bhara karne ka soch lo toh. Ab main chalta hu stadium bhi jana hai.", Kisi bujurg ki tarah sar par hath pherne ke baad maatha choom kar woh dhoop me paidal he ghar nikal gaya. Badlaav ki naseehat Menaka ke upar chodd kar.
'Thik he toh kaha hai. Main toh zinda hu.'
.

"Sir reports check kar lijiye agar time ho toh.", Shankar apne office me baitha gehri soch me dooba tha ke darwaji taraf si aati awaaj sunkar saamne dekha. Lovleen ek file apne seene se lagaye khadi thi.
"Come in and take a seat.", Fir khud he kiye postmortum ki un reports par sarsari najar daalte hue stamp lagane ke baad apne sign kar diye.
"Sir, aapko bura na lage toh ek baat pooch sakti hu?", Kaan par baal thik karti Dr Lovleen jaise najre nahi mila rahi thi.
"Sure."
"Sir. Aap itne araam se kaise itni brutal dead bodies ke sath baith kar kaam kar lete hai? I mean sabhi doctors degree ke time dead bodies dekhte hai lekin jo aaj condition thi waha, 2 nurse behosh he ho gai thi lekin aapka face itna clam tha aur jaise woh bodies nahi ho kar bas koi artifacts thi."
"Miss Lovleen. Ye waisi he bonding hai jaise kisi regular human ke sath hamari hoti hai. Bas dead bodies kuch kehne se rahi jab unhe khola jata hai aur examine karte hai. Mujhe apne profession se pyaar hai aur ye part jo aaj tumne dekha, help karta hai samajhne me after effects. Ek zinda patient ko bachane me aur uski surgery karne me. Don't see them as brutal dead corpses. I don't differentiate between standards of beauty. For some person you might be beautiful, for me those bodies were not at all ugly. You are just scared because you relate yourself with such situations." Table par rakhe us phone par number dial karne ke baad Dr Shankar ne ek black coffee aur ek orange juice ka bola aur fir dono kuch deir baatein karte rahe.
Lovleen jitna baat karti ja rahi thi woh khud he is gambhir insaan ki taraf apna jhukaav badhta mehsoos karne lagi thi.

"Aao beta baitho yaha mere pas me he baitho.", Sandeep ki pitaji Sh Dharampal ji ne Arjun ko apne sath he bitha lia. Stadium se aane ke baad woh thoda tayaar ho kar idhar aaya tha. Sath he 2 dabbe mithai ke bhi sunahre plastic me pack karwate hue.
"Ye aap sabhi ko mooh meetha karwane ke liye meri taraf se.", Arjun ne rasoighar se uski taraf chalti aai Sandeep ki mata ji ko pakdate hue kaha aur unhone bhi dulaar karte hue Arjun ko daant bhi lagaai ye sab leke aane ke liye.
"Poonia ji, ye hain toh Sandeep ka dost lekin mere liye apne bacho ke samaan hai. Ye kahe toh jyada behtar ke ek layak aur honhaar beta.", Arjun ne bhi saamne baithe hue adhed dampatti ke kareeb jaa kar charan-sparsh kia aur fir wapis aa baitha.
"Dharampal ji, ladka toh ye lagta hai jaise jaat ko hona chahiye waisa. Beta ji, apna shubh naam aur pitaji kya karte hai?", Koi laag-lapet bina unhone Arjun se pooch lia.
"Ji Arjun Sharma. Papa sarkari doctor hai aur abhi #### shehar me unki duty hai.", Arjun ka naam dohrate hue woh kuch sochne lage.
"Main bhi wahi rehta hu bhai aur ek Sharma ji toh udhar bhi Civil hospital me hai. Bhaagwan, kya naam hai unka jinhone Bablu ka plaster kia tha?"
"Shivji Sharma.", Kuch pal woh bhi sochti hui boli, shayad khud ke jawaab se santusht nahi thi. Arjun muskurate hue bola.
"Ji unka naam hai Dr Shankar Sharma, wahi mere papa hai."
"Haan haan beta yahi naam hai unka. Woh ab bholenath ka koi ek naam toh hai nahi.", Aunty jhempti hui kehne lagi aur fir kuch ghar pariwar ki baatein ho rahi thi. Idhar Sandeep ki mataji bhi shamil ho gai in sabme aur rasoighar se sar par pallu liye Jyoti chai nashte ka samaan tray me liye udhar aa gai. Najre jhukaye hue he sab table par rakhne ke baad Jyoti ne apne hone wale saas-sasur ke paanv choone ka upkram kia toh ladke ki maan ne 101 rupaye sone ki chain par rakhte hue shagun dia. Waise he ladke ke pita ne bhi 2 kangan aur lifafe me rakha shagun Jyoti ke hath me dete hue aashirwad.
"Dharampal ji, hamari khuskismati ke aisi sushil ladki mili humko aur aapke jaise sajjan vyakti ek bhai ke roop me.", Unki baat sunkar uncle thode bhavuk hote hue unke ek hath ko apni dono hatheli me lete hue bas unki he prashansha karne lage. Sandeep bhi mithaai ke dabbe table par rakhne ke baad wahi diwan par baith gaya tha.
"Dekho behan ji, sath he main ye baat abhi kar deti hu. Meri choti behan ki bitiya bhi dasvi me aa gai hai aur aapka ladka humne dekh he lia hai. Aap is baar aaye waha toh najar daal lena.", Sandeep unki baat sunte he ladkiyo sa sharmane laga aur Arjun uski halat par hansne.
Apni hone wali saas ke barabar baithi Jyoti beech beech me chori se Arjun ko dekh leti thi. Dono he pariwaro me aise baatein chalti rahi aur fir nashta hone ke baad Sandeep ki mata ji ne shagun ke kapde aur mithaai ke dabbe samadhi-samdhan ke hatho me rakhe, jo unke rasam thi. Sandeep ne fir sara samaan Arjun ke sath bahar khadi unki gaadi me rakhwaya toh fir ek baar wahi sabhi aapas me mile.
Poonia ji ne dono ladko ko apni jeb se 100-100 rupaye diye toh Arjun ne lene se inkaar kar dia.
"Arre beta pyaar se de raha hu apna maan kar. Le lo agar izzatt karte ho toh.", Itni baat sunkar Arjun ne chupchap woh note jeb me daal lia. Unhe vida karne ke baad kuch der ke liye Arjun aur Dharampal ji baatein karte rahe fir dono andar chale aaye.
"Bitiya woh kitab leke aana jo main aate hue laya tha.", Dharampal ji ne palang par he Arjun ko apne pas bitha rakha tha. Sandeep bhi udhar baitha television ke channel badalta hua WWF kushti ke channel par ruk gaya.
"Ye lo papa.", Kitab dene ke baad Jyoti bhi apne pita ke bagal me snehpurvak unke sath lag kar baith gai.
"Ye aaj main tumhare liye he laya hu. Pata laga ke tumhe bahut shauk hai saahitya ko toh hamari hindi bhasha me ye mere pasandida lekhak hai.", Kitab ka mukhprisht dhyaan se dekhne ke baad woh kitaab unhone Arjun ko pakdaai.
"Godaan-Munshi PremChand. Waah, ye kamaal ke lekhak the uncle ji. Bahut dhanyawaad aapka iske liye kyonki yahi kitaab mujhe nahi mil rahi thi.", Uski baat sunkar baaye hath se usko apne se lagate woh bhi khush ho gaye the Arjun ke kitaabprem ko dekh kar.
"Aur ek ye tumhara dost hai bhai. In sahab ko television par kushti aur cartoon se fursat nahi. Kitaabe toh neend goli se tej asar karti hai ispe. Jaane kya soch kar samdhan ji iske vivah ki baat kar gai.", Ab sabhi hans rahe the aur Sandeep sharminda hota rasoighar me apni maa ke pas chala gaya.
"Atcha uncle ji ab aagya chahta hu. Aaj toh school ke baad ghar pe jaise gaya he nahi hu aur sara kaam baaki pada hai. Jald he milta hu aapse fursat ke samay aur aapne ravivar ko papite ka paudha la kar dena hai agar yaad ho toh.", Arjun ne paanv choote hue unhe yaad dilaya toh woh bhi haan me sar hilate muskura diye.
"Bitiya bhai ko bahar tak chodd kar aao aur light bhi jala dena, sandhya ho chuki hai.", Arjun darwaja kholta hua bahar aa gaya toh Jyoti bhi uske peeche he.
"Thank you aaj is avsar par aane ke liye.", Jyoti ne najre jhukaye he kaha aur bas ek baar Arjun ko dekh kar darwaje ki saankal lagati andar aa gai.
.

Arjun apne kamre me kitabo me khoya padh raha tha jab Preeti uske kamre me aa khadi hui. Kuch der woh yuhi chupchap khadi rahi aur fir usko padhaai me leen dekh jaane ke liye wapis he mudi thi ki Arjun ki awaaj sunkar wahi ruk gai.
"Tumhe mere pas aane ke liye itna sochna padta hai?", Uski baat par woh muskurati hui wahi bister par aa baithi.
"Toh tumhe pata chal gaya tha?"
"Jab 20 minute pehle bahar ka gate khula tabhi pata lag gaya tha lekin upar aane me itna time?", Arjun ne kitabe band karke rakhne ke baad Preeti ki taraf karwat lete hue kaha. Kamar par hath rakhe woh uski aankhon ko pyaar se nihaar raha tha.
"Woh neeche daadi ne rok lia tha rasoighar me. Shayad tumhare liye kuch bana rahi hai woh.", Preeti ne uske maathe ke saamne latke hue ek kundal ko ungli se sehlate hue jawaab dia.
"Aaj hamare he ghar rukne wali ho?"
"Nahi. Daadu ko bulane aai thi fir socha ke tumse thodi baatein kar lu. Raat ko aane ka koi fayeda nahi hone wala kyonki ab main bua ke sath sone wali hu.", Preeti ki awaaj me jaise virah ki peeda thi.
"Toh kya hua jaaneman, main yahi tumhe band kar lunga aur kisi ko pata bhi nahi chalega.", Arjun hansta hua usko baahon me bharke bola toh Preeti bhi sharmati si uske seene se lag gai.
"Itna asaan nahi hai na hamara ghar me ek dusre ke sath akele samay bitana, poori raat.", Preeti Arjun ke dhadakte dil par hath firati keh rahi thi. Usko sukoon mil raha tha aise Arjun ke seene se lage hue.
"Pagli kahi ki. Itna mat socha karo. Atcha he hai na ke ye thodi bahut duriyaan humko yaad dilati rehti hai ke rishta hone ke bawjood hum aise chup chup ke pyaar karte rehte hai.", Uski thoddi ko upar uthate hue Arjun fir un neeli-hari aankhon me dekhne laga. Aur uski khud he aankhen band hoti chali gai jab Preeti ne jaise madhuras se bhare apne honth uske mooh par rakhte hue Arjun ko choomna shuru kar dia.
Yahi sabse alag baat thi Preeti ke pyaar me, choone me aur izhaar karne me. Arjun khud bebas sa qaid ho jata tha uske saamne. Koi ek minute baad woh alag hui toh Arjun abhi bhi aankhen band kiye hawa me honth hila raha tha.
"buddhu kahi ke.", gaal thapthapti jaise woh usko wapis hosh me le aai.
"Ek din badla jarur lunga main tumse. Jab dekho bas apni marji se jo dil kara woh kia aur fir mujhe aise chodd deti ho.", Arjun naraaj hone ka dhong kar raha tha.
"Bade nakhre nahi ho gaye tumhare? Ek toh saamne se khud maine kiss kia aur sahab isme bhi mooh fulaye hai."
"Ab batata hu tumhe Preeti ki bachi.", Usko apne upar kheenchta woh peeth ke bal bed par leit gaya toh Preeti bhi uske bahupash me bandhi Arjun se lipat gai. Dono ne ek baar fir aankhon me dekha aur wahi pehel sa sama bandh gaya. Bas is baar Arjun bebas waise he raha lekin usko choomti hui Preeti ne kab uski tshirt upar karke seene par hath kas diye pata na chala. Is baar ye drishya kaamuk ho chala tha. Bade itminaan se woh hontho ko chublati,choomti aur mooh me bhar rahi thi. Sath he Arjun ke chote se chuchak ko jagrit karti naakhun se kured rahi thi.
"Arre meri maa, kamra band kar lia kar kabhi toh. Maan lia tumhare pas learning license hai lekin kahi bhi shuru hone ka nahi.", Darwaje par khadi Ritu didi itna suna kar woh darwaja band karti bahar chali gai lekin inhe jaise kuch sunai dia he na ho.
Arjun ka ek hath khud he apne nitambh par rakhti Preeti seedha uske sharir par chaadar si bichi thi. Dono ke honth jonk se chipke jaise ek dusre ka khoon he peene lage ho. Saanse ukhadne ke baad bhi woh Arjun ke chehre par mooh tikaye Arjun ke hatho ki chuhan ka apne sharir par maja leti padi rahi. Arjun bhi waise he uske kase nitambh ko hatho me bharta sehalta apni Preeti ko pyaar karne me leen tha.
"Uthne do ab mujhe ya ab sunaai nahi de raha kuch.", Preeti ne Arjun ke upar se uthne ki koshish ki toh uske nashe me qaid Arjun ne apne honth gardan par lagate hue ek unnat thos ubhaar ko pakad lia.
"Oouchhhh.. Gande kahi ke. Hato side me. Koi aaya hai upar.", Ek taraf baithi woh gusse se Arjun ko dekh rahi thi. Jo khud sharmata hua Preeti ko dekh raha tha.
"Ungli pakdao toh seedha kaan pakad lete ho."
"Tumhare kaan bade pyaari hai Preeti. Dekhna waha se doodh bhi aayega ek din.", Arjun ki baat ko samajhte he woh takiye se maarne lagi usko.
"Gande ho bilkul gande.", Aur ek baar fir darwaja khatkane ke baad kholkar Ritu didi aa khadi hui.
"Matlab tum dono ka kuch nahi ho sakta. Pichli baar jab aai toh miya-biwi bane hue the aur ab wapis wahi nursery ke bache."
"Aap pehle kab aai thi?", Dono he hairaan aur jhempte hue didi ko dekhne lage aur fir ek dusre ko.
"Waah kya baat hai. Matlab main itna kuch bol kar chali gai aur tum dono bekhabar lage rahe. Aur tu neeche chal Preeti, ghar se phone aaya tha ke bulane gai thi lekin khud wahi reh gai.", Ritu didi baat sunkar Preeti chupchap sharmati si nikal chali unka hath pakde hue. Arjun bhi khud ko durust karta agle ek ghante aur padhne ke baad wahi bister par so gaya.
