Aavaran - 2
"Ye bhabhi toh bhokal hai Maange bhaiya, kaahe Avdhesh babuji eh ko bhagwan ke pas bhejan chahvat hai? Dil kaise maan gaya bhaiya tumhaar eh kaam ke vaste?", Raat 11 baje 3 log is ujaad se khandhar me baithe desi daru ki bottle khole ye sankshipt si mehfil lagaye baithe the. Dekhne se he lagta tha ke wo pardesi hai jo yaha galat maksad se he aaye the. Dekhne me teeno he dihadi majdoor se lagte the lekin sirf dekhne me. Patle, halki betarbi daadhi aur ausat kad-kaathi ke ye log bas raat ke liye jaise yaha dera lagaye the.
"Aisa hai bhai Dinu, hum log hai bandhua Avdhesh bauji ke. Jaan ki kono keemat nahi hamari unki najar me pann 50 hajaar ma hamaar bitya ka byaah ho jaai aur Bintu bhi padhai vaste bade school dakhila le sakat. Eh nishchint hai bhai ke hum wapas na ja sakat tuhaar bhojai ke pas. Lekin kono gam nahi bhai." Maange naamak ye vyakti koyi 38-39 baras ka tha aur uska mantavya spasht tha us kaam ke liye jisko karne wo ghar se itni dur aaya tha. Teesra wala toh bas khamosh baitha panni se murga nikal kar parosne me laga tha.
"Hum kya kehat rahe Maange bhaiya ke eh jo gaanv hai na uh sankra hai aur aavan javan vaste 2 he raste lagat rahe. Eh sab hum pata lagai rahe ke byaah ke karykram vaste aur ba dekhat eh cheej samajh aa rahi hai ke maut nischint hai. Eh raste se shehar se bhojai (Rekha) aavat rahi aur yaha mushkil hai. Aage haveli me rehat rahi sab ladiez toh udhar parvesh varjit. Eh mandir hai jaha hum anjaam de sakat is kaam ko lekin enhi bhi rikas kono kam nahi.", Dinu ne ek kagaz bichate hue gaanv ka naksha he saamne bicha diya. Maange ke sath sath teesra vyakti bhi aag ki roshni me wo sab dekhne laga jo nakshe par chitrit tha.
"Aisa hai Dinu, es baar Avdhesh bhaiya kono desi katta na diye Maange bhaiya ko. Bareli ki rajkumari diye hai ja ki pahuch 20 haath se jyada hovat rahi. Haveli se lagan vaste javat rahe mandir toh aavan samay saamne se he peetal bhar dayi uh bhojaai ke. Bheed ma gaadi toh jaldi ghumat nahi toh tum rahiye chara ki gaadi liye tayar aur hum inhe leke milenge is haveli ke pas, sadak kinare band haveli hai ye (Babita ki haveli). Chara gaadi na dekhat raha koyi aur agar hum pakde jaaye toh 25000 hamaar bitua ko deyi dio. Maa nahi hai uski aur hum he akele hai jo hai so hai.", Teesre wale ne toh ekaek sabkuch samjha diya tha. Baaki dono toh hairat se is saathi ko dekhne lage.
"Tu humka bachavan chaahi Hariya? Itta toh kono hamar baare na sochat rahi. Kaa hui jo tumhar zindagi khatre me padd jaayi?", Maange ne badi chinta aur hairat se ye kaha toh saamne wala vyakti thoda muskura diya.
"Maange bhaiya, hamaar toh na joru hai na bitya. Ek munna hai toh uh ke zindagi bann jaye bas itti si chaah hai. Tumhari goli bhi humko seene pe leni padat rahi toh kono gum nahi. Dinu ka bhi pariwar hai toh usko sab se dur he rakhiyo.", Hariya ne ek saans me he apna gilaas halak se utaarne ke baad sirf namak chaat kar aankhen band karte hue apni dil ki baat kahi.
"Tum kabi chhoti baat na karat rahe bhaiya lekin aaj dil jeet liye hamaar. Hum bhi vaada karat rahe ki ya toh ekan sath jaayenge nahi toh kono he na jaa paayi.", Dinu ne jajbati hote hue plastic ki bottle se teeno ke gilas me sharaab khaali karte hue kaha toh is baar jaam alag tarah se bhidaya gaya. Teeno ne isko zindagi ke naam kiya aur peene ke sath sath murge ka lutf lene lage. Hawa se udti hui wo tasvir alaav me ja giri jiski parwah inhe jara bhi na thi. Khushi me Dinu ne toh wo naksha bhi jalti aag ke havele kar diya aur teeno he wahi pasar gaye. Hariya koyi kavita/geet gaa raha tha is suroor aur apni zindagi ke liye
'Sawan ki puvaiya gayab
Pokhar, taal, talaiyya gayab
kat gaye saare peid gaanv ke,
Koyal aur goraiyya gayab
Bhor hui toh chai ki chuski,
chana, chaben, laiyya gayab
Bhojaai dekhat rahi rasta,
shahir gaye the bhaiyya gayab' (credit: Kunwar Deepak Singh Badal)

"Ek lalach ki baat karu? Bura lage toh kuch bhi matt kehna aur main baat wahi rok dungi.", Is maadak ujaale me Arjun bas mookdarshak sa dekh raha tha ke aaj sapna hai ya bhagwan ne uske dil ki sunn li hai. Jaalidar kapde se apne ek uroj ko anavrit karti Rekha ne apna phula hua nipple uske mooh me dene ke baad kuch der bas sar ko sehlaya aur jaise he Arjun ka hath jyada ki chaah me unke pusht nitamb par aaya toh dono ke honth aapas me judd gaye. Kisi bhi chumban me ye mithaas ya swaad na tha jo Arjun ne bhoga tha. Ye sarvopari tha aur iske liye Arjun sirf kismat sahare he tha. Na maang na sawaal, bas mila toh jaise mannat.
"Aapko aur lalach? Aap aisa keh kar sharminda na kare maa. Mera toh bas yahi sapna hai ke aap jo kahe wo main karu lekin aap kuch kehti he nahi.", Arjun us anavrit sakht gole ko dekh raha tha jo abhi uske hontho se alag hua tha. Kaise maa ke uroj is umar me bhi itne sakth aur aakarshak the.
"Suna hai aajkal yahi kaha jata hai ke pyaar kisi aakarshan se hota hai. Lekin mera najariya alag hai Arjun aur ho sakta hai ye samajik na ho. Sharir ko chhoona toh hatth ya adhikar se ho sakta hai lekin aatma sirf ek baar he koyi chhoo sakta hai. Tumhe kuch is baare me virodh ho toh be hichak keh sakte ho."
"Aap meri maa, margdarshak aur ek khamosh dil hone ke sath wahi premika hai jo bewajah kuch nahi chahti. Meri aatma toh wajood me he aap leke aayi ho maa."
"Ye andaja kaise lagaya ke main kuch nahi chahti? Ho sakta hai ke chahat itni badi ho ke tum abhi wo dene ke liye tayaar he na ho aur main intjaar me hu. Har premika, maa aur shikshak apne priya se kuch ummeed jarur rakhte hai beta aur main koyi alag nahi. Ab tum apne vicharo ko viraam do, kal ka din bada rehne wale hai.", Rekha ji ne apna dusra stann Arjun ki taraf badhate hue khaali ho chuke pehle wale ko vastra me kiya aur Arjun ka sar sehlati hui badi mand awaaj me kuch gungunae lagi. Arjun kaha sansarg ka soch raha tha aur ab sab khayalo se dur bojhil palke band karta gehri neend me jaane laga. Maa ne bas wo aavaran isliye pehna tha kyonki ye un dono ke liye he khaas tha.
Arjun ke sone ke baad Rekha ji ne samay dekha toh takriban aadhi raat ho chuki thi. Chuchak Arjun ke hontho se nikla hua dekh wo bhi aahista se khadi hui aur kapde badalne ke baad karwat leti hui apne vicharo me kho gayi. Aaj Arjun ne saamne se he keh diya tha ke wo hamesha khamosh rehti hai aur sawaal bhi nahi karti. Bete ke liye wahi uski sarvoch premika thi. Arjun ki aankhon me aaj kitna kuch tha jab wo kamre aayi thi lekin waisi he chahat ke bawjood unhone khud ko badi mushkil se roka tha.
'Mere liye bhi toh tumhi sabkuch ho Arjun. Ye soch kar apne ghar se vida li thi ki jo ankahe sapne hamesha se sirf dil me rahe wo yaha aane ke baad poore honge. Pati he premi hoga aur mujhe waisa he pyaar-sammaan dega jiski kalpana har yuvti karti hai. Suhaag sej par he dil bikhar gaya tha jab mujhe mera sthaan tumhare pita ne bataya. Sab sukh dene ka vaada lekin dil me koyi aur pehle se hai jiska sambandh marte dum tak rakhne ka daava apne biwi ke saamne bhar diya. Pehli he raat pyaar ke badle fareb, shayad he koyi itna badnaseeb hota hoga. Sab kehte the Rekha laakho me ek hai aur inhone wahi toh bana diya mujhe. Laakho me ek abhagin jisko maloom ho ke pati ke pas dene ko wo pyaar he nahi jiske liye apna sabkuch chhod main ek naye sansaar me aa gayi.', Aankhon se wo anmol moti si 2 boond behti bahar aa gayi thi Rekha ke chehre par.
'Sharir par haq kaise jataya fir unhone? Sirf isliye ki main ab unke naam likh di gayi thi? Bache honge toh shayad mujhe pyaar mile toh ye bhi sahi lekin ye aur patit karna saabit hua. 22 saal sirf ek jagir jiske sath apna mann hua toh jaisa chaha waisa sansarg kiya. Khud ko har tarah se unke kaabil banane ki koshish ki lekin kabhi in aankhon ne wo pyaar na mehsoos kiya jiska armaan liye main yaha aayi thi. Aaj tum ye daasi-pratha badal kar unhe pyaar sikhana chaah rahe ho toh ye manjur nahi mujhe. Jeene ki wajah 2 pariwaro ka samman aur maryada thi lekin ab sabse badi wajah tum ho Arjun. Bas wo koshish na karo jis se pehli baar Rekha dehleej se bahar chali jaaye. Mere bache aur pariwar mera aavaran hai aur isme ab koyi aur shamil na hoga.', Dil jaise itne jakhm khaaye tha ke wo shayad he kabhi ubar paaye. Rekha ke shaant mann ko anjaane he Arjun ke kisi pryaas ne aahat kar diya tha jo ab sehan nahi ho raha tha.
'Bhogi kabhi premi nahi ho sakta. Koyi prem ke badle asankhyo ko prem de us se shikayat nahi lekin har yuvti ko apne neeche laane ke mansube rakhne wala mera premi is janam me nahi hoga. Kitne he drishya in aankhon ne dekhe hai Arjun main kaise kisi ko bayaan kar du. Sabme sirf vaasna aur jor tha, saamne wala ka ek pal khayaal nahi. Gujarish hai ke aise pryaas rok do, main toot gayi toh tum bhi ekatrit na kar paaoge is Rekha ko.' Tanaav aur chintan ke beech aansu bister par gire aur neend me Arjun ka hath apni maa ke upar aaya toh jaise wo neend me he tadap utha. Rekha ne palat kar un band palko ko dekha tha dil baith gaya. Arjun neend me he unke dard se judd gaya tha.
'Mere bache, main tere pas hu aur hamesha rahungi. Hamesha mera saya tujh par rahega, bas rona nahi.', Seene ke sath Arjun ko lagate hue Rekha ne pal me he apne vicharo par purn-viraam laga diya. Sab dard bhool kar woh bas Arjun ko sehlati rahi aur uske dwara khud ko pakadne par kuch he pal me wo bhi us se lipti so gayi thi. Raat 1:30 toh vicharo me he baj gaye the aur aane wala din jaane kya kuch samete tha khud me.

Bhor hui toh Shankar ji bhi samay par uth khade hue. Paani peene ke baad nitykram se nibat kar bas chai he pee aur 9 baje tak aane ka bol kar Sitara devi ka aashirwad lete hue ghar ke liye nikal pade. Sunsaan sadak aur halki chalti hawa se mann atcha mehsoos kar raha tha. Gaanv se bahar nikalte he ek najar badi haveli par padi toh bahot kuch yaad aa gaya. Bachpan, Sushila ke saath wo bhai-behno wali masti aur ladna jhagadna. Chalti car swatah he dheemi ho gayi. Bahot samay baad yaha marammat hui thi aur ab ye kuch kuch waisi he lag rahi thi jaisi barso pehle thi bas aas-paas bahut kuch badal gaya tha aur kuch ghane vriksh gayab the.
'Waqt. Bas wahi toh laut nahi sakta kabhi.', Apne aap se itna keh kar ek cigratte sulga li aur apne raste ho liye. Is vivah se nibatne ke baad kya karna hai iska vichaar Muskaan se milne ke baad he bana liya tha aur bas ye aaj ka din jaise taise nikalna bhar tha. Mukhya maarg se ghar tak aane me 20 minute he lage the. Sahi 5 baje car ghar me khadi karte wo hath-mooh dho kar apne pita ke pas aa baithe.
"Sab sahi hai na Shankar? Kuch reh gaya ho toh jaate hue le jana. Badi bhabhi Bijender ke sath he aane wali hai udhar.", Apne bete se baat shuru karte hue Pandit ji ne chehre par jhaag banate hue khud ko aaine me dekha.
"Haan, sab sahi hai papa. Itna kuch taam-jhaam toh hai nahi is taraf. Gine-chune log aayenge aur bhojan karke wapis.Samay lagega toh wo fero me lagega. Vidaai 2-3 baje tak ho jaani hai. Aapki taraf thoda jyada kaam rehne wala hai.", Shankar ke aane ka pata kaushalya ji ko bhi lag gaya tha aur wo tulsi me argh dene ke baad rasoi me chali gayi.
"Kaam toh waha bhi kuch nahi hai. Baraat aayegi 50-60 logo ki aur 100 log shayad haveli ki taraf se ho baaki gaanv walo ka bhojan karkyakram alag se dharamshala me hai jidhar hamara koyi kaam nahi. Tum badi gaadi le jana apne sath aur Sanjiv bhi 4 log cielo me le jayega. Sombir Singh ki taraf jitne kam log jaaye utna he thik hai.", Rameshwar ji ke aisa kehne par Shankar ko abhaas toh ho he gaya tha ke unke mann me chinta hai kisi baat ki lekin sawaal poochne ka dil nahi hua.
"Waise kaun kaun ja raha hai aapke sath.?"
"Satish ki gaadi badi hai toh usme 6-7 log aa he jayenge aur baaki jisko Arjun apni gaadi me jagah de wo uske sath baith jayega. Vivah ke baad tumhari maa aur main aaj Raghubir ke he ghar rukne wale hai. Satish baaki sabko le aayega aur Arjun ke sath jaane wale Arjun ke sath he wapis aayenge.", Rameshwar ji rasor gaal par chalate hue ab chup hue toh Shankar ko thoda ajeeb laga Arjun ke baare me jaankar.
"Wo car uski hai toh ye matlab toh nahi papa ke apne sath sath wo baaki sabko khatre me daale. Aapne ijajat kaise de di ki wo shehar se bahar car leke ja sakta, khud chala kar.?"
"Tumhara konsa pech dheela hai bhai? Kal uska pakka license aa gaya ghar aur raat ko wo mujhe dikha bhi gaya ke ab main usko mana na karu. Tum 15 ke the jab jeep chalane lage the aur wo bhi baap ki sarkari, bina pooche le jaane wale. Arjun ko main mana nahi karne wale, tumhe karna hai toh karo.", Wapis apni daadhi saaf karte hue wo khamosh hue toh Kaushalya ji dono ke liye chai le aayi.
"Ab aap kya samjhane lage isko itni savere?"
"Maa kuch nahi bas main papa se keh raha tha ke wo Arjun ko thodi jyada he dheel de rahe hai. Khud gaadi chala ke jana thik nahi uska waha gaanv tak lekin ye keh rahe hai ke uska pakka license aa gaya hai toh rokenge nahi.", Shankar ji ko laga tha ke ab maa unki taraf se papa se behas karengi.
"Haan so toh hai ji. Arjun ko abhi se aadat daalni chahiye thoda bahar bhi car chalane ki. Ye log ghar nahi hote toh Satish bhai ko pareshan karna padta hai ya fir Tara ko. Ab aage Purnima ke ghar me chakkar lagne wale hai toh Arjun ko raste se atche se pata hone he chahiye.", Apni maa ka aisa jawaab sunn kar ab Shankar ne behas karna band he kar diya. Rameshwar ji chehra saaf karte hue muskurate hue Shankar ko dekhne lage.
"Barkhurdar, ab jara suno apne baap ki bhi baat. Aainda se main Arjun ko koyi bhi aadesh-nirdesh nahi dene wala hu. Padhai kare, khele koode aur apni zindagi jeeye. Aur tum karoge Narinder aur Rajkumar ke sath ghar ke saare kaam. Hospital jao, vivah ke sabhi kaam dekho aur mujhse salaah karo ya apni maa se. Wo ladka agar mujhe rojana ke kaam se alag kuch karta dikha toh thik nahi rahega.", Rameshwar ji ne ekaek Arjun ko sab niyamo aur dayitva se ajaad kar diya tha. Shankar ji ke liye ye baat chaukane wali thi.
"Aur wo hath se bahar nikla toh kya karenge aap? Usko apni najar me rakhne ki jarurat hai papa, aap he toh kehte hai ke woh jaldi bhatakne lagta hai."
"Maine bhatakna nahi kaha tha Shankar, urja kahi aur na lagane lage ye kaha tha. Jo kar raha hu tumahri he behtari ke liye kar raha hu. Jyada apne kareeb rakhunga toh kahi woh tumhare he peeche na padd jaye. Aaj wo jaha ja raha hai usko ajaad jana chahiye nahi toh baatein kab aur kaha se nikal aaye pata nahi chalta.", Rameshwar ji khade hue aur idhar Shankar ka sar kuch soch kar jhuk gaya.
"Wo kuch galat nahi kar rahe Shankar aur tujhe ye samajhna he hoga ki Arjun ki apni ek zindagi hai. Kal jo bhi hua is se inke dil ko kitni thess lagi hai ye tum samajh nahi sakte. Arjun ko waise he jeena hoga jaisa wo hamesha rehta tha yaha wapis aane ke baad. Isme he sabki bhalaai hai aur sabse jyada tumhari.", Kaushalya ji ne apne bete ko samjhate hue sar pe hath firaya aur andar chali gayi.
'Maa ab toh main chaah kar bhi kuch badal nahi sakta.', Shankar ne chai khatam karte hue galiyare se andar ka rukh kiya toh paseene me bheega Arjun sirf nikkar aur baniyaan me seedhiyo se niche aa raha tha. Pichle ek ghante se usne jamm kar paseena bahaya tha us chhoti vyayamshala me.
"Kaise ho papa? Aaj aap itni jaldi?", Arjun ne toliye se chehra saaf karne ke baad unke paanv chhuye aur fir kursi par baith gaya. Daadi uska bhi doodh aur khurak le kar idhar rakh gayi thi.
"Haan wapis bhi jana hai sabko le kar. Tum aaj bahar nahi gaye daud lagane?"
"Nahi, parso se jana shuru karunga papa. Abhi Aacharya ji bahar hai aur aaj didi bhi araam kar rahi thi. Akele jaane ka dil nahi karta.", Arjun ki baaju par ubharti machli 16 inch ki ho chali thi jaha vasa ki lesh-matra jhalak na thi. Pehle wala bhaari jism ab ek sampoorn kataav liye tarasha ja chuka tha.
"Atchi baat hai ke utna he paseena tum yahi nikal kar routine kharaab nahi kar rahe. Waise tumhari maa kaha hai? Kamra toh khali dikh raha hai.", Shankar ji ne apni biwi ko jikar kiya toh Arjun ne gilas niche rakhte hue kaha.
"Aapke kapde yahi bathroom me taang kar wo upar he gayi hai. Baaki kapde kamre me table par hain. Didi ko unki madad chahiye thi isliye maa unke pas gayi hai.", Arjun ne jaankari di aur Shankar ji bina kuch kahe snaan karne bathroomme chale gaye. Upar wali manjil par dono he taraf aaj ladkiyon ne kabja jamaya hua tha aur daadi ne keh diya tha ke koyi upar nahi jaayega. Na Sanjiv, na Shankar ya aur koyi. Doodh khatam karke Arjun bhi bahar bagiche me paani dene chala gaya.
"Chhote tu yahi sab karta rehta hai kya?", Sanjiv bhaiya bahar wale aangan ke bathroom se naha kar bahar nikle toh kahi kahi chot ke nishaan ujagar the lekin kasarati badan inka bhi aakarshak tha. Arjun ko peid-paudho me khoya dekh unhone jism par baniyaan pehante hue khamoshi bhang ki toh Arjun muskura diya.
"Yahi sab thik hai bhaiya nahi toh dada ji is baar mujhe koyi dheel nahi dene wale. Waise bhi ye us sab se jyada thik hai.", Kal dono he bhaiyo ko jamm kar fatkaar lagi thi Pandit ji se. Aur yahi wajah thi ki Rekha ji bhi Arjun ke liye chintit ho gayi thi.
"Apne thaanedar ji dil ke bade atche hai yar. Wo hamesha sahi kehte hai aur tujhe bhi toh maine samjhaya tha na ke sab unhe he karne de jo ye hamesha karte aa rahe hai. Waise sach kahu toh zindagi sabse atchi bhi yahi hai mere bhai. Tu sabke sath aur sab tere sath. Ye chhoti chhoti khushiyan, ek dusre ke kaam karna aur ghar ko ghar banaye rakhna har kisi ke bas ki baat nahi. Sabko aisi jindagi nahi milti.", Sanjiv bhaiya jaane kya yaad karne lage the aur Arjun unki baat sunn kar chhidkaav karte hue bola.
"Sabko milti hai bhaiya lekin hamare chunaav aur chahat ye sab nahi samajhte. Main yahi toh koshish kar raha tha ke jo is sabse dur hai unhe shamil karu. Lekin aap bhi sahi hai, jo jaisa karna chahta hai unhe karne do. Ab aadat ek din me toh badalne wali nahi jo 20-25 saal se lagi ho.", Arjun ne hath badha kar amrood ki ek sookhi tehni todd kar ek taraf rakh di. Sanjiv bhaiya bhi chalte hue kareeb aa gaye. Rameshwar ji par dono ki he najar nahi padi jo kabse inko dekhte hue baatein sunn rahe the.
"Ye sab chhod aur tu bas ab wahi kar jis se tujhe khushi mile, sabko atcha laga aur hamare thaanedar ji ko bhi bura na lage ke tu sahi se jee nahi raha. Abhi sab vyast hai, chal aadha ghanta game khelte hai.", Arjun ko paani band karte dekh bhaiya ne video game ka sujhaav diya toh Arjun bhi turant paani se hath paanv dho kar unke saath aangan ki taraf aane laga.
"Ek toh hai he aisa aur dusra uske sath reh kar jadd budhi ho jata hai. 6 baje tum dono video game kheloge?", Rameshwar ji andar se toh bahot khush the lein bahar jhoothe gusse se kaha aur idhar in dono ki ye soch kar fatt rahi thi ki wo toh peeth peeche apne dada ko thaanedar keh kar baat kar rahe the.
"Wo dada ji, sabne 8 baje nikalna hai aur abhi 6 nahi baje poore. Upar dono taraf toh didi log tayaar ho rahi hai toh itni der hum kare bhi toh kya kare?", Sanjiv toh Arjun ko bolne se rok he raha tha lekin Arjun ne majburi jatai toh Rameshwar ji hans diye.
"7 baje se pehle television ke saamne se hatt jana dono nahi toh video game bagiche me daba dunga main tumhari.", Manjuri milte he dono bhai ja baithe apni jagah aur Rameshwar ji mehmaan kamre ko band karte hue apni rivolver ko saaf karne me jutt gaye. Beshak wo ye chalate nahi the lekin jab bhi pariwar ke sath bahar jaate the tab isko bhi le kar jaate the. Unhe ye pasand bhi bahut thi aur isko chamkana bhi.

Haveli kitne he barso baad jagmag hui thi aur aaj itni savere bhi har taraf lagi rang-birangi laddiyan maddim roshni deti jagmag thi. Pariwarik log aur sambandhi sabhi haveli me he the aur jyadatar toh saadhe 6 baje poori tarah tayaar bhi ho chuke the. Ladke ki baraat 10 baje nikalne wali thi aur iske baad he ladki ke vivaah ka karykram shuru hone wala tha. Saamne wale nohre aur uske sath ke ek ekad maidaan ko samtal karwane ke baad raat he shamiyaane laga diye gaye the. Haveli ke andar bhi agle aur pichle aangan ko bade bade tent se sajaya ja chuka tha. Chandro Devi khud he ghoom fir kar nashta bana rahe logo aur sambandhiyo ko dekh rahi thi. Sultaan ko Bijender ne yahi mangwa liya tha apne dost se jo ab badi shaan se is lambe chaude aangan me ghoom raha tha.
"Charan sparsh badi kaaki, aapko dekh kar mann prasann ho gaya.", Haveli ke bahar ek videshi lambi car aur gypsy aa kar ruki toh mahol kuch pal ke liye ashaant sa ho gaya. 6 surakshakarmi gypsy se utar ke car ke barabar aa khade hue. Ek ne darwaja khol kar apne maalik ko utarne me sahayta ki toh sava 6 feet ka ye 50 varshiya raubdar vyakti bahar nikla. Dusri taraf se bhi 2 darwaje khule aur 2 yuvak bhi utar aaye jo is vyakti ke bete he the. Vyaktitva prabhavshali tha inka. Kaan me sone ke kundal, gale me rudraksh ki swarn-jadit mala aur tambai kurte ke niche safed pajame ke sath mehngi chamde ki chappal. Ek yuvak kareeb 27-28 saal ka tha jo ghani daadhi ke sath sath ausat tandrust tha. Dusre wala 24-25 ka thoda aadhunik aur apne baap ka laadla.
"Toh aaj hamare dar par Avdhesh Mishra khud padhare hai? Aur wo bhi apne beto ke sath. Sada khush raho.", Chandro Devi ne aashirwad dete hue sar par haath na rakha aur bade bete ne bas hath jode, chhota wala kamar par hath rakhe idhar udhar dekh raha tha jaise kaha le aaya uska baap is ujaad se gaanv me.
"Nimantran aapne bhijwaya ho toh hum kaun hote hain naa aane wale. Ye hamare bade suputra hai Brajesh Mishra aur eh waale hamare jigar ke tukde Bhaanu Mishra. Beta wo jo tumhare baba batate rehte the na Sombir Singh ji ki baatein, ye unhi ka ghar hai aur aap hain hamari badi Kaaki aadarniya Chandro Devi ji.", Abhi ye sab khade he the aur jald he 5-6 kursiya chayadar jagah me lagane ke baad sabko paani diya gaya. Bhanu ne hath se he mana karte hue fir se idhar udhar najar daudani shuru kar di.
"Atchi baat hai ke tum apna keemti samay nikal kar yaha itni dur gaanv tak aaye. Chai paani lo itne me kothi ka tala khulwati hu. Saaf safai karwa di gayi hai aur baaki nahane araam karne ki bhi uchit vyavastha hai.", Chandro Devi ne inki seva me 2 aadmiyo ko niyukt kiya aur Bijender bhi idhar aa gaya tha apni maa ko le kar. Bhaanu ne alag he chehra banate hue ek najar Sushila Singh ko dekha jo wheelchair par thi.
"Kaise ho Avdhesh? Bijender ye tumhare dada ji ke mitra ke bete hai Avdhesh Mishra, aur ye hai mera beta jiska byaah hai.", Bijender ne paanv chhuye aur Sultaan teeno ko soonghne ke baad surakshakarmiyo ko bhonkne laga. Avdhesh Mishra ne jeb se ek sone ka kada nikal kar Bijender ke hath me rakha toh usne lene se inkaar kar diya.
"Aashirwad bahut uncle, is sabki jarurat nahi hai."
"Rakh lo beta, pyaar se de rahe hai. Waise tumhara kutta itna bhonk kyu raha hai bhai.", Daadi ne bhi Bijender ko lene ko kaha toh usne kada apni maa ko pakda diya. Sultaan ko kutta kehne par thoda bura laga tha lekin aaj wo aisa kuch nahi karna chahta tha jis se kisi ko thess pahuche.
"Ji Sultaan ko aise log pasand nahi jinke pas hathiyar ho. Haveli ke bheetar hathiyaar laane ki manahi hai.", Bijender ke aisa kehne par Bhaanu ne apni kameej khaas andaaj me upar karte hue apni rivolver ki jhalak dikhane ka bachpana kiya toh Bijender muskura diya.
"Atchi baat hai ke is haveli me ab hathiyaar mana hai, waise Sudarshan toh shaukeen tha is sabka."
"Bacho ko manahi nahi hai uncle, wo khel sakte hai jitna dil kare bas baaki sabko mana hai.", Bijender ka kataaksh sunn kar Bhaanu ki jhaante sulag gayi thi aur Bijender waha se chala gaya tayaar hone. Ek taraf khadi nayi Ford Escort car par kuch log phool lagane ki tayaari karne lage the.
"Haveli ki bagdor ab Bijender ke hatho me hai Avdhesh aur uske niyam sabhi maante hai.", Chandro Devi ne itna kaha aur 2 aadmiyo ne yaha mej lagate hue chai-doodh mithai namkeen inke saamne laga diye. Avdhesh Mishra ne bhi hath ka ishara karte hue apne sabhi surakshakarmiyo ko bahar jaane ko kaha. Bhaanu aur Brajesh ki najar ek sath saamne se aati is pari par gayi toh wo dono bas dekhte he reh gaye. Richa nahane ke baad filhal ek saaf salwar-suit he pehne thi, khaas dress usne baad ke liye rakhi thi.
"Daadi aapko pandit ji bula rahe hai, unhe kuch baat karni hai aapse.", Chandro Devi baaki sabko abhi aane ka kehti apni ladli ke sath chal padi. Sushila Singh Avdhesh se baatein kar rahi thi aur dono bhai is jaati hui hirni ko he dekh rahe the.
"Ye Madhulata ke beti hai Avdhesh, Richa naam hai iska. Income Tad afsar ban gayi hai aur ek saal training ke baad Chandigarh duty karegi.", Sushila Singh ne parichaya diya toh Avdhesh ne gardan hilate hue kaha.
"Byaah ho jana chahiye bitiya ka bhi. Brajesh ke liye bhi ladki dekh rahe hai hum, mining ka sara business hamare bade bete he dekhte hai.", Apne baap ki baat sunn kar Brajesh khush ho gaya tha lekin Bhaanu ke chehre par narajgi saaf jhalak rahi thi.
"Iska byaah Shankar ki marji se hoga Avdhesh aur ye uski he laadli hai.", Ab Avdhesh ke bhi chehre par chinta ke baadal chha gaye the ye naam sunn kar.
"Chalo bhai jara kothi tak chhod do aur sab dikha do. Thoda araam karne ke baad bitiya ko shagun de kar fir samay se nikalna bhi hai.", Seva me lagaye vyakti se Avdhesh ne itna kaha aur uth khada hua. Wo bhi inhe le kar Sarpanch ke sath wale ghar ki taraf chal diya jo Chandro Devi ki he sampatti tha.
"Bhaiya wo ladki pasand hai mujhe.", Ek kamre me dono bhai bister par baith gaye toh Bhaanu ne apne dil ki baat kahi bade bhai se.
"Humko pata hai tumhe wo kitni pasand aayi hai Bhaanu. Ek raat waali pasand yaha nahi chalti aur tumne nahi dekha ke papa ye 'Shankar' naam sunn kar kaise uth kar chale aaye. Kuch aisa waisa matt karna jis se unki pareshani badhi. Ye hamara ilaka nahi hai ke banduk ke dum par tum manmaani karo aur sab khamosh rahe."
"Yar tum na sachmuch he fattu ho bhaiya, bataya tha na papa ne ke yaha ghar me koyi mard nahi hai. Wo ladka bhi nikal jayega budhiya ke sath apni shaadi ke liye, mauka mila toh saali ko kahi bhi daba kar pel dunga. Pasand aa gayi hai toh ab aa gayi hai.", Rivolver ko table par rakhta woh apne kapde dheele karte hue bathroom me ghus gaya aur Brajesh chinta me cigratte sulgate hue apne bhai ke baare me sochne laga. Wahi haveli ke andar Chandro Devi dabi awaaj me Lata ko jhaad rahi thi.
"Munni, tune nyota diya na Avdhesh ko? Mooh khol aur bata ke aisa kyu kiya jab pata hai ke aise log haveli me kadam nahi rakhne chahiye.?", Madhulata najre jhukaye khadi bahar se toh shaant thi lekin andar wo is aurat ko bhi maarne ka soch rahi thi.
"Phone aaya tha bhai sahab ka maa ji toh maine yahi bataya ke aap Bijender-Babita ke vivah ki wajah se shehar gayi ho. Inhone he khud ko aamantrit kar liya toh main kya karu?"
"Tumne mujhe toh nahi bataya ke Avdhesh ka phone aaya tha? Aaj yaha agar kuch bhi anhoni hui toh jaanti ho parinaam kya hoga? Suna hai ke tere bhai ne meri pauti par hath daalne ki himakat ki thi? Dekho Munni, jo bhi ho dhyaan rakhna ke sab niyantran me rahe.", Madhulata ko jara bhi ummeed nahi thi ki uski saas aisi baat bhi keh sakti hai aur unhe Chandarbhan ke baare me pata hoga.
"Mere saamne toh nahi hua tha na maaji. Galti kari toh fir mara gaya, isme main kaha beech me aa gayi?"
"Ghar me byaah ka mahol hai toh isko kharaab nahi karna. Tum kaam dekho aur tayaar ho jao, main apne paute ke sath jaungi aur idhar Rameshwar dekhega sabkuch. Galti nahi Munni bas itna he kahungi.", Chandro Devi ne baat na badhate hue Madhulata ko sachet karne ke baad apne kamre ka rukh kar liya.
'Agar budhiya ko kuch pata hai toh shaadi ke baad ye jarur kuch na kuch karegi. Dhamki bhi de he di aur fir jhootha dikhawa karke bata rahi hai ke main uski bahu hu. Saali Sheela aur uske londe bhi iska kuch na kar sake. Ye chutiya Avdhesh bhi jaane kya soch kar apni marwane idhar aa gaya jabki pata hai ke waha ek bhi pakda gaya toh fasega yahi.' Munni khud ko toh samjha rahi thi lekin ab darr bhi tha ke kahi kuch bhed saamne aaya toh wo bhi fansegi. 8 bajne tak sab tayaar ho chuke the aur aas-pados ki mahilao ke sath Bijender ko kursi par baitha kar geet gaaye ja rahe the.

Shankar ji safed rang ka araamdayak naya kurta pyjama pehan kar tayaar ho chuke the. Nashta unhe Lalita je ne karwa diya tha aur ab wo apne bade bhai Rajkumar, Col sahab aur papa ke sath baatchit me lage the. Ghadi ne paune 8 ka samay dikhaya toh woh sabko chalne ka bolne ke liye bheetar aangan me aa gaye. Maadhuri, Priyanka aur Komal ne jaane se mana kar diya tha jis par Rameshwar ji ne bhi sehmati de di thi aur wo nischint bhi the kyonki sabne saanjh se pehle he wapis aa jana tha.
"Bhabhi, bijliya girane ki sachmuch koyi umar nahi hoti.", Shankar ji aadatan apni badi bhabhi ko chhed rahe the jinhone hari-sunehari saree pehan rakhi thi aur unke gore-gadraaye jism par ye behad dilkash bhi lag rahi thi. Laal chudiyan, gale me mangalsutra, hath me 2 kade sone ke aur uchit laali ke sath gol laal bindi. Lalita ji bijli he toh gira rahi thi.
"Haan tere pe he gira di maine saari bijli. Tere wali ko dekh aur fer bata ke wo bijli gira rahi hai ya tufaan.", Unke gol chehre par motiyon si chamkaan wali muskurahat sachmuch khaas thi. Hamesha ki tarah moohfatt aur hansmukh Lalita ji ka koyi saani na tha. Aur seedhiyon se utarti Preeti Ritu par najar padte he Shankar ji bas in bachiyon ko he dekhte reh gaye. Bina baah ka reshmi neela-safed salwaar kameej aur waise he rango ka dupatt liye Preeti aaj hindustani avtaar me thi. Maathe par ek gol safed bindi aur kaano me patli chain wale jhumke. Bhoore baal kareene se ek stylish choti me bandhe the, saath he punjabi jooti, payal aur kalai me neeli safed choodiyan.
"Wow, ab lagta hai meri beti sabse sundar hai.", Shankar ji ne Preeti se muskurakar kaha toh Ritu bhi hansne lagi. Aaj Ritu ke bhi gore chehre par sirf ek bindi aur kaajal laga tha. Samandar ke mile-jule rango wala kameej aur dheeli patiyala salwar me wo waisi he lag rahi thi jaise athaah neela samandar.
"Thank you uncle. Ritu didi ke kapde hai aur Alka didi ne tayaar kiya mujhe.", Abhi wo Alka ka jikar he kar rahi thi ki Alka, Tara aur Rupali ke sath Vicki bhi salwar kameej me he tayar ho kar idhar aa gayi thi. 6 khoobsurat navyuvtiya dekh kar Shankar ji ko sahi laga tha Sangwan ji se waha suraksha lena.
"Mama ji, ab kiska wait kar rahe ho aap? Sab tayaar hai toh nikaliye gaadi.", Tara hamesha ki tarah sabse he alag kapdo me thi. Frock jaise lambe kameej aur niche bilkul chust salwar aur gale me bareek chain ke beech kala chamakdar patthar. Arjun ne atcha nikhara tha apne pyaar se Tara ko jo aaj har ang tarasha hua lagta tha.
"Tumhari maami nahi dikh rahi isliye khada hu beta."
"Maa toh apne kamre me he hai.", Komal didi ne darwaja khol kar Rekha ji ko chalne ka bataya toh Unke sath he Romela aur Renuka bhi bahar aa gayi. Na chahte hue bhi Shankar ji ke dil me Romela ne halchal macha di thi. Greek sundari ne unki he biwi ki ek gulabi saree pehni hui thi aur wo bhi paramparik makeup ke sath. Seena shayad Rekha se bhi thoda bhaari tha aur rang kudrati safed. Apne pati ko aise samdhan ki taraf dekhte Rekha ji ki bhi najar padd he gayi, jo sabse aakhir me kamre se nikli.
"Maa aap kamaal lag rahi ho." Ye baat Preeti ne kahi thi jis se Shankar ji ka dhyaan hata toh apni biwi par najar gayi. Madhu bua ka diya wo jaridaar salwar-kameej aaj dhanya ho gaya hoga is khoobsurati ke paryaay Rekha se lipat kar. Laal kurti ke saamne lakdi ke sajawati button aur kinare par bana sunehari jaridaar design. Sar pe saadgi se liya dupatta jo seene bhi dhake tha. Preeti Rekha ji se he ja kar lipti thi.
"Tum bhi bahot pyaari lag rahi ho. Najar na lage meri beti ko.", Rekha ji ne aankh se kaajal nikal kar Preeti ke najar ka tika lagaya aur sabhi bahar chalne lage. Ab Shankar ji ko apni galti mehsoos ho rahi thi ki unhe ye nahi karna chahiye tha. Kam se kam Rekha ke saamne toh bilkul bhi nahi.
"Arjun kaha hai?", Ritu didi ne bahar aate he sab taraf dekha lekin yaha Arjun na tha. Cielo ko bahar nikale Sanjiv bhaiya bhi tayaar khade the. Rekha, Romela, Rupali safari me baith gaye the jiska AC Shankar ji ne chalu kar diya tha. Rameshwar ji ne ghadi me samay dekha toh thik 8 baj chuke the aur seedhiyon se niche utarta Arjun safed khaadi ke kurte ki aasteen saleke se modd kar aangan me aa khada hua. Aaj hath par chamde ke pate wali ye mehngi ghadi thi jo usko Madhu bua ne bhent ki thi. Kaale rang ka 'Ray ban' aur safed kase hue vastro me apne bete ko dekh ek pal ke liye Shankar ji bhi prashansha kar he gaye.
"Sab aise kya dekh rahe ho, chalo apni apni gaadi me baitho.", Arjun ke kehne par Rameshwar ji ne uska kaan marod diya, halke se.
"Sabse aakhir me tu he aaya hai. Inki gaadiyan nikalne de fir hum bhi chalte hai.", Shankar ji ne apne pita ki baat sunn kar Sanjiv ko dekha toh usne bhi car chaalu kar di jisme Aarti, Tara, Renuka aur Alka baith gayi. Dono gaadiyan ghar se nikli toh Col Sahab ne gate ke pas gaadi lekar aaye Muneer ko rakhwali karne ka samjhya aur bata diya ke wo log 3 baje tak aa jayenge. Rameshwar ji apne dharam bhai Col sahab ke sath agli seat par sawaar hue toh piche Rajkumar ji apni biwi aur maa ke sath. Arjun apni chamakti kaali lancer me baitha toh Preeti ne he Ritu didi ko bagal wali seat par baithate hue khud pichli badi seat par kabja jama liya.
"Ye tumhara purse diya tha maa ne"
"Aur ye rumaal." Ritu didi ne purse aur Preeti ne rumaal aage badhaya toh Arjun ne gear lagate hue muskurate hue dono he cheej car ke gear ke pas rakh di.
"Planning jyada he nahi karke rakhti aap dono.?", Aage chalti badi gaadi ke peeche he wo chal diya. Ek najar Ritu didi ke mehakte husn ko dekhne ke sath he beech wale aaine se Preeti ko bhi nihar liya tha usne. Gaadi me alag he madhoshi bhar gayi thi dono ke aate he.
"Waise Preeti tumhe yaha baithna chahiye tha.", Ritu ne apni seat ke liye Preeti ko kaha toh Preeti ne CD wala button dono ke beech se he dabate hue jo jawaab diya us se dono bhai behan ek pal ke liye niruttar he ho gaye.
"Fir aap iski goad me baith jaati aur hum kahi combined honeymoon par toh chale nahi jo aisa karenge. Shaadi me ja rahe hai aur aage chalti gaadi me jo baithe hai unke kisi ke bhi najar ka chasma nahi laga hua."
"Tu maar khayegi mere se. Main toh isliye keh rahi thi ki ye seat teri he toh hai.", Ritu didi ne sharam ke sath he muskurate hue kaha aur Arjun ne gaadi ek taraf rok di.
"Aap bhi peeche baith jaiye didi aur koyi sawaal nahi.", Arjun ne jaise he ye kaha Ritu bhi samajh gayi ki Arjun Preeti ko wahi maan dena chahta hai jo wo dene ki koshish kar rahi thi. Agli gaadi dheemi hui thi lekin ab dono he peeche baith gayi toh Arjun ne sadak par dhyaan dete hue car ki raftar 60 ke paar kar di. Halki awaaj me gaane chalne ke sath he peeche baithi dono ladkiyan bhi baatein karne lagi aur Arjun bas bypaas se nikalte is raste ko dekhne laga. Thodi aage nikalte he Arjun ne dhyaan diya toh ab ek gypsy dada ji ke aage chal rahi thi aur uski car ke peeche.
"Feeling VIP jaisi aa rahi hai didi. Aapne dekha dada ji ka kamaal, apne peeche security hai aur aage bhi.", Preeti ne dhyaan dilaya toh Ritu didi ne bhi gor se dekha.
"Wo toh koyi private security hai, police nahi lekin sabki dress ek jaisi hai.", Ritu didi ka nirikshan bhi kamaal ka he tha. Aur udhar Shankar ji safari ko 100 ki raftaar se chala rahe the wahi Sanjiv bilkul apna chacha ke barabar car dauda raha tha. Dono gaanv ek dusre se viprit the aur inka shehar thik beech me.
"Chacha ji gaadi kyo rok di.?", Sanjiv ne car sadak se utarte he Safari ko ek taraf rukte dekh khud bhi gaadi thoda aage laga kar rok di. Shankar ji ke pas Bhuppi ko khade dekh Sanjiv ne charan sparsh kiye aur dekhne laga.
"Shankar bhai Sangwan chacha ne 10 log toh haveli wale hisse me lagwa rakhe hai aur 10 mandir ke barabar. Yaha bhi 3 log rahenge aur 3 gaanv se udhar jaate raste par. Main mandap ke pas he rahunga aur ye dono aadmi haveli ki chhat par. Suna hai Avdhesh Mishra waha dusri shaadi me aaya hua hai, Umed ne phone par chacha ko bataya thodi der pehle toh unhone waha bhi 12 log bhej diye hai 2 gypsy ke sath.", Bhuppi ne rivolver load karke Shankar ki taraf badhai toh unohne mana kar diya.
"Meri darling gaadi me he rakhi hai jaani, tu bas mere sath byaah ke maje le. Avdhesh idhar aisa waisa kuch nahi karega aur agar galti ki toh wo Gajju ke nishane par hai. Baaki baat udhar chal ke karte hai, mujhe kuch jaruri baat karni hai tere sath.", Shankar ji ne Rupali ko ishara se apni maa ke pas baithne ka kaha aur Bhuppi ko bagal me baithate hue wo haveli ki taraf aa gaye. Logo ke khaane peene ka prabandh yaha bhi atche se kiya gaya tha aur Haveli ke saamne wale nohre me he shamiyane lagwa kar ek kataar me 20 badi table khaane ke bartano se sajne wali thi. Mahilao aur ladkiyon ko Haveli ke andar le jaa kar khud Shankar ji ne he Akshara-Muskaan se unka parichaya karwaya aur sath he Sitara devi se bhi.
"Taai aap sabse jaan-pehchaan karwao main jara baaki sab dekh leta hu.", Haveli ke bahar wale aangan me he mahilao ke liye pandaal aur tent lagwaya gaya tha jaha filhal tayaari chal rahi thi. Akshara sabhi ladkiyon ko le kar apne behan ke kamre ki aur chali gayi jo pehle Babita ka hota tha.
"Bhuppi, mere upar najar kaun rakh sakta hai? Ya Narinder par? Aisi najar ki saamne wale ko hum dono bhaiyo ki har waqt ki khabar rahe.?", Sanjiv aate he Vikas ke sath kaam me lag gaya tha aur ye dono bahar lage tent ki chhaya me khade guftgu karne lage.
"Impossible hai bhai Shankar ki tere upar najar rakhi ja sake. Tere baare me toh sirf tujhe he pata hota hai aur rahi Narinder ki baat toh uska toh rakba is haveli jitna hai. Najar rakhne ki jarurat he nahi kyonki wo waha ghar aur apne kaam ke siwa kahi nahi jaata. Dikkat kya aa rahi hai aur jara tafseel se bata.?"
"Bindu. Bindu ka connection hai kisi aise se jo gaanv ka he hai unke aur wo phone karta rehta hai usko jis se hamari soochna Bindu ko milti rahe. Ek kadi hai ye insaan jo parchai jaisa hai. Parchai ki koyi surat nahi hoti aur na usko pakad sakte.", Shankar ji ne thande ka ek gilas Bhuppi ki taraf badhaya aur ek khud utha liye is sevak se jo catering walo ki taraf se kaam kar raha tha. Bhuppi ke gambhir chehre par duniya jahanki soch aa chuki thi is samay.
"Behanchod aisa kaun fanne khan aa gaya be jo teri soochna rakh sakta hai? Koyi toh jhol hai Shankar aur agar aisa hai bhi toh ab tu nischint ho ja. Gaanv me abaadi he kitni hai waha? 5000 mushkil se toh phone ke connection hone hadd 100, dekh jara ab is parchhai ki maa ka bhosda."
"Bhuppi baat teri thik hai lekin waha 3 PCO hai aur phone wahi se hue honge kyonki International suvidha toh haveli wale phone me bhi nahi hai. Sirf Umed ke ghar hai aur waha tak majaal nahi ke koyi ghus bhi sake. PCO ka hum kuch kar nahi sakte.", Aaspas chhidkaav karke mitti ko atche se baithaya jaa raha tha toh dono he chalte hue thoda aage ki taraf ho liye. Suraksha chokas thi yaha toh unhe koyi darr na tha.
"PCO ki detail bhi nikal jaati hai mere bhai. Aur gaanv se England number milate he kitne log honge? Haan wo main sadak wale PCO par thodi jyada mehnat ho sakti hai. Bindu ka phone number mil sakta hai kya?"
"Mil jayega, binna pareshani."
"Bas fir ab ek baar par wo number kisi bhi PCO se match kar jaye fir jo bhi ghanti bajayega uski main baja dunga. Tu nishchint reh aur kaam dekh. Main bhi jara Sanjiv se batla lu." Yaha 9 baje ab kaam jor-shor se shuru ho chuka tha. Khaane ka karyakram 10 baje se 1 baje tak tha jo ghanta jyada bhi chal sakta tha aur baraat ka samaya 11 baje ka tha, fere bhi 1 se 2 ke beech hone wale the haveli se 200 gaj dur sthit mandir me. Yaha par savere 7 baje se najra rakh rahe Dinu ki hava khushk ho gayi thi aisi ghera bandi dekh kar. Safed kameej aur kali pant me wo catering walo ki veshbhoosha me gali aur nohre me kaam kar raha tha. Kuch soch kar wo khali balti liye ek taraf nikal chala jaha shayad uske baaki dono saathi the.
"Maange bhaiya, jor ki gherabandi hai eha toh. Uh bhojai hum dekhe abhi 30 minute pehle aur unke sath aur bhi kayi pari jaisi londiya aayi hui han. 8 aadmi asla liye dono taraf najar rakhe hai toh aise me hath hilane se pehle sharir ma 8 naya chedd bana deyi oh sasure.", Dinu yaha mandir ki bagal me ghaas kaat rahe Maange ko sab soochna dene laga toh wo waise he ghaas tarashte hue dhimi awaaj me jawaab dene lage.
"Idhar bhi kono alag haal nahi Dinu. 6 aadmi mandir ke aaju-baju pehra de rahe.", Khade hote hue Maange ne khaali balti me nalke se paani bharna shuru kiya toh Dinu kapde se apna chehra saaf karne laga. Ab khichdi daadhi ki jagah chikna chehra tha uska, shave karne ki wajah se. Hariya bhi ek cycle liye idhar he chala aaya. Carier par hara chara bandha tha aur sar pe angocha. Jeb se beedi nikal kar wo cycle par stand par lagata kinare ki patari par baith gaya.
"Ek kash humka bhi lagwa do bhaiya.", Dinu ne abhinaya karte hue aisa kaha kyonki saamne se he kuch log mandir me jaa rahe the. Ab dono he alag alag beedi jalaye baithe the. Dinu ne ishare se Maange ko kareeb aane ko kaha toh wo balti wahi chhod kati hui ghaas unke kareeb baith kar ekatrit karne laga.
"Bahar wali Haveli ke pas bhi pehra hai bhaiya aur chhatt par bhi. Aap dono nikal lo enha se, hum kar dayi uh madam ka kaam. Tamncha hamaar hawale kar deyo bhaiya, chhipane me bhi dikkat na hoyegi.", Hariya ki baat sunn kar Maange ne vichaar karte hue jawaab diya.
"Kaam Dinu karega Hariya. Iske pas vardi bhi hai aur kono shak bhi nahi karega. Tum dusre raste pahucho, hum bhi wahi milte hai. Pandit keh rahe ke 1 baje enha rasam hogi, Dinu madam ke sath aa sakat hai araam se aur bahir se he nishana laga kar ye diwar kood ke seedha gaanv se bahir. Oh baaje ka awaaj nikal kar shor macha denge toh goli ki awaaj dabb jayi."
"Thik hai bhaiya, yahi sahi rahega.", Abhi wo baat kar rahe the ke Dinu ke gaal par ye karara tamacha lagne se beedi dur ja giri. Maange apna kaam karta raha lekin Hariya taish me aa gaya. Dinu ki awaaj sunn kar khamoshi se cycle utha kar wo seedha chal diya.
"Madarchod bhosdike ke 150 rupaye beedi foonkne ke dunga kya main tujhe? Teri maa saaf karegi waha jo bartan ka dher laga hai? Bhosdike ke gandi naali ke keede kaam karna nahi aur laat sahab ki tarah yaha beedi peete hue kamchori kar rahe hai.", Ye motta sa adhed aadmi catering ka thekedar tha aur jab sirf tamache he dil nahi bhara toh ek laat kass ke Dinu ke pichwade par jama di.
"Galti ho gayi seth ji. Aaahh.. jaa rahe hum udhar he, paani lene abhi aaye the enha toh beedi maang li. Maaf kar do seth ji hum abhi safaai kar dete hai.", Gaand masalta wo mann masos kar paani ki balti liye udhar he chal diya jaha se aaya tha. Maange ne beshak dekha nahi tha lekin awaaj sunn kar khoon toh uska bhi khol gaya tha.
.
.
Sombir Singh ki haveli ke bahar gaadiyo ka kafila rukte he Shankar ji ne pehle surksha wali agli gypsy ka rukh kiya. Yaha unhe hairani hui ki Gulati khud he inhe le kar aaya tha. Safed ujli kameej jo hamesha wo hospital me pehanta tha aur khakhi patloon ke saath waise he joote me woh yaha bhi doctor he lag raha tha.
"Yar ye sab kya hai Mehul?"
"Chacha ji, Sangwan Chacha ne in sabko bheja aur main aapke sath rehne wala hu. Aap andar mulakaat kijiye itne main inhe samjha deta hu ke ye kaha kaha nigrani karenge. Haveli ke andar toh koyi nahi jayega lekin Mandir aur yaha bahar ki suraksha main lagwata hu.", Gulati ne Pandit ji ke saamne bade Sangwan ji ka naam liya toh woh bas muskura diye. Gulati ka gaal sehlate hue unhone usko bhi faarig hote he andar aane ka kaha.
"Chalo bhai sab utaro aur ye Arjun car me he kyo baitha hai?", Kaushalya ji pas chali aayi toh Pandit ji ne Arjun ke car se bahar na nikalne par sawaal kiya.
"Darwaja is taraf se bhi khol do.", Kaushalya ji jawaab deti us se pehle Bijender ne gate par khade vyakti se kaha. Ek bada darwaja poora khula tha aur ab dusra khulte he Arjun ne car idhar badha di. Diwar ke kareeb he rakhte hue sahi jagah par car lagate hue Arjun bahar utar aaya.
"Shaadi mubarak ho bade bhaiya.", Arjun ne Dulhe ki poshak pehne khade Bijender ko gale lagte hue kaha. Sirf pagdi sehra he baaki tha jo wo Mandir me dhok lagane ke samay he pehan ne wala tha. Chandro Devi ke sath he Purnima ji aur Rajeshwari bhi idhar aa gaye the.
"Thank you so much Arjun. Aur mujhe maa ne bata diya tha ke teri gaadi yahi lagne wali hai. Charan sparsh dada ji, daadi ji.", Bijender ne sabse aashirwad liya aur idhar Arjun Chandro Devi ke gale lagne ke baad Purnima ji aur apni chachi se bhi gale he lag kar mila. Car se bahar nikalti Ritu aur Preeti ne sabko hath jodd kar namastey ki thi jiske badle me dono ko he badi daadi aur baaki sabse sneh mila.
"Guddi, Babita ke kamre me le ja ri inhe. Khaas khayal rakhiyo in donua ka, Richa toh hai he waha.", Guddi kaaki bhi dono ladkiyon ko pyaar se sar par hath ferne ke baad apne saath le gayi. Yaha Arjun apni Sushila bua se milne Bijender ke sath he andar chal diya aur Chandro Devi in sabko le kar baithak ki taraf chal di. Yahi log the jo unke bure samay se le kar aaj tak sath rahe toh inka satkaar khaas tha.
"Bhaiya, wo Richa toh aap he dekho. Mujhe toh wo dono chahiye ya kam se kam wo bhoore baalo wali. Tabahi maal aur wo bhi is gaanv me.", Bhaanu ab tak yaha se thoda parichit ho chuka tha aur tent me baitha wo apne bhai ke sath Preeti Ritu ko dekh bhi chuka tha.
"Bhaanu galti na kariyo koyi, ladki khoobsurat hai lekin wo is ghar ki khaas hai."
'Maa chudaye ye sala fattu, itne security guard hai mere pas aur ye rivolver bhi. Saali ko akela dekhte he daboch lunga.', Bhunbhunata hua wo uth kar haveli ke kamro ki taraf jaane laga tha lekin saamne baithe Sultan ki gurrahat bata rahi thi ki aage laxman rekha hai toh apni hadd me he raho.
"Aunty ji is kutte ko baandh kyu nahi deti? Ab bathroom jana ho toh ye toh andar jaane nahi dega.", Sushila Singh ab tayaar hone ke baad paramparik veshbhoosha me thi lekin wheelchair ki jagah ek taraf hocky ka sahara liye. Bhaanu ke aisa kehne par unhone sateek jawaab diya.
"Beta bathroom us tarah hai aur wo bhi 2-2, ek saamne wale plot me bhi hai aur 3 bagal wali kothi me bhi jaha tum thehre ho. Sultan samjha raha hai ke waha sirf ladies hai.", Sushila Singh ki baat sunn kar Bhaanu ko gussa toh aaya lekin wo jyada ulajh nahi sakta tha. Uske pita abhi kothi me he the aur wo sath hote toh shayad Bhaanu kuch himakat karta.
"Ji pata nahi tha aunty. Waise bade purane rule hai aapke yaha, ladies aur gents ke alag alag hisse."
"Na beta aisa nahi hai lekin yaha ghar-pariwar aur athithi ke beech fansla jarur rakha jata hai.", Abhi woh itna jawaab de rahi thi ki bagal se Arjun ne unhe baahon me lete hue gaal choom liya.
"Toh meri pyaari bua ji aap yaha ho. Andar bhaiya ke pas aap dikhi nahi.", Sushila ke chehre par bhi ek muskaan aa gayi thi Arjun ke aisa karne par. Bhaanu bade gor se Arjun ko dekh raha tha. Itna lamba chauda ladka aur wo bhi itna bekhof ho kar is aurat se mil raha tha.
"Tujhe dekhne he aayi thi main idhar lekin nahi dikha toh Bijender ke pas he aane wali thi. Ye hai Bhaanu, bahubali Avdhesh Mishra ka suputra.", Arjun ko ek taraf se apne sath lagaye he Sushila ne saamne khade ladke ka parichaya diya toh Arjun bhi dhyaan se dekhne laga aur fir sirf mooh se abhivadan kiya.
"Hello, Arjun Sharma this side."
"Bahubali Bhaanu Mishra.", Apne naam ke sath ye upadhi lagate hue Bhaanu ne 34 inch ki chaati bahar nikalte hue jawaab diya aur mudd kar wapis chal dia.
"Bua, iske peit me dard tha kya? Hahaha.. Chalo bhaiya bula rahe hai.", Arjun ne hanste hue kaha aur Sushila bhi sath he hans padi. Dono he Bijender ke kamre ki taraf chal diye jaha uski dur ki bua aur kuch log tayaar karne ke sath geet bhi gaa rahi thi.
"Ab bahubali bann ke bhi toh dikhana tha na usne, pant girne wali thi jo bach gayi jaise taise.", Sushila bhi majaak me sath deti Arjun ko liye idhar aa gayi. Logbaag haveli ke bahari bade aangan me aane lage the aur saamne wali taraf bhi pandaal me chehal pehal shuru ho chuki thi. Sarpanch wale ghar ko chhod kar aaspas ki 4 ekad jameen sirf Haveli ke maalik ki he thi. Umed Singh bhi bahar apne aadmi lagane ke sath parking, pandaal bhi jaanch rahe the. Mard aur parichit log Umed se he mil rahe the jiske sath Mehul Gulati bhi thanda peete hue chehal kadmi kar raha tha. Bijender ki car bhi tayaar khadi thi dher saare phool se sajne ke baad. Pandaal me gulab ka itra daal kar paani ke cooler beawaaj chal rahe the.
"Umed bhai ye Avdhesh hai kaun? Aur yaha toh haveli me sabhi ko jaane ki ijajat bhi nahi hai. Log toh tumse he mil rahe hai aur fir pandaal me jaa rahe hai."
"Mehul bhai, Tauji ka bada naam raha hai aur ab Taai ji ka hai. Gaanv toh 3 se 1 ho gaye lekin agar yahi shaadi 25 saal pehle hoti toh 10 ekad me pandaal lagta. Saare gaanv bhoj par aate. Haan haveli ke andar sirf pehchaan wale aur wo bhi shaadi ki wajah se jaa rahe hai. Aangan tak he purush baith sakte hai uske aage sirf pariwar.", Umed Singh ke hath me bhi ek betaar tha jis par unke logo ki baat wo sunn sakte the. Abhi pandaal me ronak lagne lagi thi aur kothi se tayaar ho kar Avdhesh Mishra apne 2 surakshakarmiyo ke sath inke kareeb aa khada hua.
"Kaise ho Mishra ji? Swagat hai aapka.", Umed Singh ke pehal karne par Avdhesh Mishra ne bhi hath milate hue waisa he jawaab diya.
"Bhai tumhare jaise toh thaath nahi hai Umed Singh bas gujare layak kama khaa rahe hai. Hello.", Baad me Gulati se bhi hath milaya toh usne bhi atche se abhivadan kiya.
"Bahubali Avdhesh Mishra toh apne aap me ek misaal hai. Delhi se le kar Purvanchal tak jiska danka bajta ho wo aise kehte atcha nahi lagta. Waise gaadi atchi li hai tumne.", RR likhi wo videshi car sabse alag he thi yaha khadi 3 darjan gaadiyo me se.
"Tum sath do toh Haryana aur Punjab tak jaa sakte hai, aisi gaadiyan har mahine badal lena.", Abhi ye log baat kar rahe the ki ek taraf se Bhaanu apne baap ke barabar aa khada hua aur uske sath parichaye karwate he khud Avdhesh ki najar is lagbhag sava 6 feet ke videshi saand se tagde yuvak par padi. Aasti utna he mudi hui thi jitna kalaai se upar ja sakti thi lekin is ladke ko aas-pas khada lagbhag har vyakti nihaar raha tha.
"Ye hero kaun hai, haveli se aa raha hai lekin haveli ka toh nahi lagta?"
"Arjun naam hai iska aur mera goad liya beta hai.", Umed ke itna kehne ke sath he Arjun apne se 3 inch lambe chacha ke gale lag gaya. Lambai Avdhesh Mishra ki bhi atchi thi lekin sharir itna majboot aur chauda jara bhi na tha.
"Chacha aap yaha dhoop me kaale ho raha ho aur baba aapko andar bula rahe hai. Namstey uncle.", Arjun ne Mehul ke paanv chhune ka upkram kiya toh unhone bhi gale lagna behtar samjha.
"Beta aap hai..
"Bahubali Avdhesh Mishra ji, pranaam. Arjun Shankar Sharma.", Arjun ne pehle he naam batate hue hath jodte hue ek muskaan di toh Avdhesh Mishra bhi bahar se muskurate hue hath joddne laga. Arjun turant he wapis chala gaya.
"Matlab bhai ke bete ko he goad le liya aur naam bhi khaas diya hai is ladke ko. Chaal toh Shankar jaisi nahi hai iski lekin chehra kuch kuch waisa he hai. Aur batao bhai Umed, jab hum araam karne gaye toh yaha kuch khaas halchal na thi lekin ab dekho toh darjano log security par lage hai.", Avdhesh Mishra ne kuch soch kar vishaya badal diya tha. Umed bhi pata na lagne dene ke sath har baat dhyaan se sunn raha tha.
"Shankar ne bheja hai inhe aur DIG ne bhi yaha aur mandir par pehra lagwaya hai. Pata nahi kya jarurat thi is sabki lekin suna hai udhar Rammehar kaka ki taraf toh poori chhaavni bana rakhi hai Shankar aur DIG ne.", Itna sunn kar he Avdhesh ke andar paani chalne laga tha. Ye ummeed na thi ki waha ek mamuli shaadi me kuch aisa hoga.
"Chalo bhai tum bhi milo sabse andar aur main bhi dulhe ko neg de kar fir nikalta hu.", Avdhesh apne chhote bete ko sath liye inke sath he haveli ke andar chal diya. Gulati pandaal me chal diya tha kyonki pyaas lag aayi thi. Umed Singh seedha he baithak ki taraf chal diye kyonki ab Chandro Devi ne bhi Bijender ke sath mandir se agle gaanv chale jana tha.
"Bitiya ke fero ke baad he jana Avdhesh, aise apshakun hota hai.", Thodi he der baad jaane ki ijajat mangne par ye baat Chandro Devi ne kahi thi Avdhesh Mishra ko aur ab wo aaya apni marji se tha lekin jana Chandro Devi ke hisab se padna tha.
Aavaran - 2
"Ye bhabhi toh bhokal hai Maange bhaiya, kaahe Avdhesh babuji eh ko bhagwan ke pas bhejan chahvat hai? Dil kaise maan gaya bhaiya tumhaar eh kaam ke vaste?", Raat 11 baje 3 log is ujaad se khandhar me baithe desi daru ki bottle khole ye sankshipt si mehfil lagaye baithe the. Dekhne se he lagta tha ke wo pardesi hai jo yaha galat maksad se he aaye the. Dekhne me teeno he dihadi majdoor se lagte the lekin sirf dekhne me. Patle, halki betarbi daadhi aur ausat kad-kaathi ke ye log bas raat ke liye jaise yaha dera lagaye the.
"Aisa hai bhai Dinu, hum log hai bandhua Avdhesh bauji ke. Jaan ki kono keemat nahi hamari unki najar me pann 50 hajaar ma hamaar bitya ka byaah ho jaai aur Bintu bhi padhai vaste bade school dakhila le sakat. Eh nishchint hai bhai ke hum wapas na ja sakat tuhaar bhojai ke pas. Lekin kono gam nahi bhai." Maange naamak ye vyakti koyi 38-39 baras ka tha aur uska mantavya spasht tha us kaam ke liye jisko karne wo ghar se itni dur aaya tha. Teesra wala toh bas khamosh baitha panni se murga nikal kar parosne me laga tha.
"Hum kya kehat rahe Maange bhaiya ke eh jo gaanv hai na uh sankra hai aur aavan javan vaste 2 he raste lagat rahe. Eh sab hum pata lagai rahe ke byaah ke karykram vaste aur ba dekhat eh cheej samajh aa rahi hai ke maut nischint hai. Eh raste se shehar se bhojai (Rekha) aavat rahi aur yaha mushkil hai. Aage haveli me rehat rahi sab ladiez toh udhar parvesh varjit. Eh mandir hai jaha hum anjaam de sakat is kaam ko lekin enhi bhi rikas kono kam nahi.", Dinu ne ek kagaz bichate hue gaanv ka naksha he saamne bicha diya. Maange ke sath sath teesra vyakti bhi aag ki roshni me wo sab dekhne laga jo nakshe par chitrit tha.
"Aisa hai Dinu, es baar Avdhesh bhaiya kono desi katta na diye Maange bhaiya ko. Bareli ki rajkumari diye hai ja ki pahuch 20 haath se jyada hovat rahi. Haveli se lagan vaste javat rahe mandir toh aavan samay saamne se he peetal bhar dayi uh bhojaai ke. Bheed ma gaadi toh jaldi ghumat nahi toh tum rahiye chara ki gaadi liye tayar aur hum inhe leke milenge is haveli ke pas, sadak kinare band haveli hai ye (Babita ki haveli). Chara gaadi na dekhat raha koyi aur agar hum pakde jaaye toh 25000 hamaar bitua ko deyi dio. Maa nahi hai uski aur hum he akele hai jo hai so hai.", Teesre wale ne toh ekaek sabkuch samjha diya tha. Baaki dono toh hairat se is saathi ko dekhne lage.
"Tu humka bachavan chaahi Hariya? Itta toh kono hamar baare na sochat rahi. Kaa hui jo tumhar zindagi khatre me padd jaayi?", Maange ne badi chinta aur hairat se ye kaha toh saamne wala vyakti thoda muskura diya.
"Maange bhaiya, hamaar toh na joru hai na bitya. Ek munna hai toh uh ke zindagi bann jaye bas itti si chaah hai. Tumhari goli bhi humko seene pe leni padat rahi toh kono gum nahi. Dinu ka bhi pariwar hai toh usko sab se dur he rakhiyo.", Hariya ne ek saans me he apna gilaas halak se utaarne ke baad sirf namak chaat kar aankhen band karte hue apni dil ki baat kahi.
"Tum kabi chhoti baat na karat rahe bhaiya lekin aaj dil jeet liye hamaar. Hum bhi vaada karat rahe ki ya toh ekan sath jaayenge nahi toh kono he na jaa paayi.", Dinu ne jajbati hote hue plastic ki bottle se teeno ke gilas me sharaab khaali karte hue kaha toh is baar jaam alag tarah se bhidaya gaya. Teeno ne isko zindagi ke naam kiya aur peene ke sath sath murge ka lutf lene lage. Hawa se udti hui wo tasvir alaav me ja giri jiski parwah inhe jara bhi na thi. Khushi me Dinu ne toh wo naksha bhi jalti aag ke havele kar diya aur teeno he wahi pasar gaye. Hariya koyi kavita/geet gaa raha tha is suroor aur apni zindagi ke liye

"Ek lalach ki baat karu? Bura lage toh kuch bhi matt kehna aur main baat wahi rok dungi.", Is maadak ujaale me Arjun bas mookdarshak sa dekh raha tha ke aaj sapna hai ya bhagwan ne uske dil ki sunn li hai. Jaalidar kapde se apne ek uroj ko anavrit karti Rekha ne apna phula hua nipple uske mooh me dene ke baad kuch der bas sar ko sehlaya aur jaise he Arjun ka hath jyada ki chaah me unke pusht nitamb par aaya toh dono ke honth aapas me judd gaye. Kisi bhi chumban me ye mithaas ya swaad na tha jo Arjun ne bhoga tha. Ye sarvopari tha aur iske liye Arjun sirf kismat sahare he tha. Na maang na sawaal, bas mila toh jaise mannat.
"Aapko aur lalach? Aap aisa keh kar sharminda na kare maa. Mera toh bas yahi sapna hai ke aap jo kahe wo main karu lekin aap kuch kehti he nahi.", Arjun us anavrit sakht gole ko dekh raha tha jo abhi uske hontho se alag hua tha. Kaise maa ke uroj is umar me bhi itne sakth aur aakarshak the.
"Suna hai aajkal yahi kaha jata hai ke pyaar kisi aakarshan se hota hai. Lekin mera najariya alag hai Arjun aur ho sakta hai ye samajik na ho. Sharir ko chhoona toh hatth ya adhikar se ho sakta hai lekin aatma sirf ek baar he koyi chhoo sakta hai. Tumhe kuch is baare me virodh ho toh be hichak keh sakte ho."
"Aap meri maa, margdarshak aur ek khamosh dil hone ke sath wahi premika hai jo bewajah kuch nahi chahti. Meri aatma toh wajood me he aap leke aayi ho maa."
"Ye andaja kaise lagaya ke main kuch nahi chahti? Ho sakta hai ke chahat itni badi ho ke tum abhi wo dene ke liye tayaar he na ho aur main intjaar me hu. Har premika, maa aur shikshak apne priya se kuch ummeed jarur rakhte hai beta aur main koyi alag nahi. Ab tum apne vicharo ko viraam do, kal ka din bada rehne wale hai.", Rekha ji ne apna dusra stann Arjun ki taraf badhate hue khaali ho chuke pehle wale ko vastra me kiya aur Arjun ka sar sehlati hui badi mand awaaj me kuch gungunae lagi. Arjun kaha sansarg ka soch raha tha aur ab sab khayalo se dur bojhil palke band karta gehri neend me jaane laga. Maa ne bas wo aavaran isliye pehna tha kyonki ye un dono ke liye he khaas tha.
Arjun ke sone ke baad Rekha ji ne samay dekha toh takriban aadhi raat ho chuki thi. Chuchak Arjun ke hontho se nikla hua dekh wo bhi aahista se khadi hui aur kapde badalne ke baad karwat leti hui apne vicharo me kho gayi. Aaj Arjun ne saamne se he keh diya tha ke wo hamesha khamosh rehti hai aur sawaal bhi nahi karti. Bete ke liye wahi uski sarvoch premika thi. Arjun ki aankhon me aaj kitna kuch tha jab wo kamre aayi thi lekin waisi he chahat ke bawjood unhone khud ko badi mushkil se roka tha.
'Mere liye bhi toh tumhi sabkuch ho Arjun. Ye soch kar apne ghar se vida li thi ki jo ankahe sapne hamesha se sirf dil me rahe wo yaha aane ke baad poore honge. Pati he premi hoga aur mujhe waisa he pyaar-sammaan dega jiski kalpana har yuvti karti hai. Suhaag sej par he dil bikhar gaya tha jab mujhe mera sthaan tumhare pita ne bataya. Sab sukh dene ka vaada lekin dil me koyi aur pehle se hai jiska sambandh marte dum tak rakhne ka daava apne biwi ke saamne bhar diya. Pehli he raat pyaar ke badle fareb, shayad he koyi itna badnaseeb hota hoga. Sab kehte the Rekha laakho me ek hai aur inhone wahi toh bana diya mujhe. Laakho me ek abhagin jisko maloom ho ke pati ke pas dene ko wo pyaar he nahi jiske liye apna sabkuch chhod main ek naye sansaar me aa gayi.', Aankhon se wo anmol moti si 2 boond behti bahar aa gayi thi Rekha ke chehre par.
'Sharir par haq kaise jataya fir unhone? Sirf isliye ki main ab unke naam likh di gayi thi? Bache honge toh shayad mujhe pyaar mile toh ye bhi sahi lekin ye aur patit karna saabit hua. 22 saal sirf ek jagir jiske sath apna mann hua toh jaisa chaha waisa sansarg kiya. Khud ko har tarah se unke kaabil banane ki koshish ki lekin kabhi in aankhon ne wo pyaar na mehsoos kiya jiska armaan liye main yaha aayi thi. Aaj tum ye daasi-pratha badal kar unhe pyaar sikhana chaah rahe ho toh ye manjur nahi mujhe. Jeene ki wajah 2 pariwaro ka samman aur maryada thi lekin ab sabse badi wajah tum ho Arjun. Bas wo koshish na karo jis se pehli baar Rekha dehleej se bahar chali jaaye. Mere bache aur pariwar mera aavaran hai aur isme ab koyi aur shamil na hoga.', Dil jaise itne jakhm khaaye tha ke wo shayad he kabhi ubar paaye. Rekha ke shaant mann ko anjaane he Arjun ke kisi pryaas ne aahat kar diya tha jo ab sehan nahi ho raha tha.
'Bhogi kabhi premi nahi ho sakta. Koyi prem ke badle asankhyo ko prem de us se shikayat nahi lekin har yuvti ko apne neeche laane ke mansube rakhne wala mera premi is janam me nahi hoga. Kitne he drishya in aankhon ne dekhe hai Arjun main kaise kisi ko bayaan kar du. Sabme sirf vaasna aur jor tha, saamne wala ka ek pal khayaal nahi. Gujarish hai ke aise pryaas rok do, main toot gayi toh tum bhi ekatrit na kar paaoge is Rekha ko.' Tanaav aur chintan ke beech aansu bister par gire aur neend me Arjun ka hath apni maa ke upar aaya toh jaise wo neend me he tadap utha. Rekha ne palat kar un band palko ko dekha tha dil baith gaya. Arjun neend me he unke dard se judd gaya tha.
'Mere bache, main tere pas hu aur hamesha rahungi. Hamesha mera saya tujh par rahega, bas rona nahi.', Seene ke sath Arjun ko lagate hue Rekha ne pal me he apne vicharo par purn-viraam laga diya. Sab dard bhool kar woh bas Arjun ko sehlati rahi aur uske dwara khud ko pakadne par kuch he pal me wo bhi us se lipti so gayi thi. Raat 1:30 toh vicharo me he baj gaye the aur aane wala din jaane kya kuch samete tha khud me.

Bhor hui toh Shankar ji bhi samay par uth khade hue. Paani peene ke baad nitykram se nibat kar bas chai he pee aur 9 baje tak aane ka bol kar Sitara devi ka aashirwad lete hue ghar ke liye nikal pade. Sunsaan sadak aur halki chalti hawa se mann atcha mehsoos kar raha tha. Gaanv se bahar nikalte he ek najar badi haveli par padi toh bahot kuch yaad aa gaya. Bachpan, Sushila ke saath wo bhai-behno wali masti aur ladna jhagadna. Chalti car swatah he dheemi ho gayi. Bahot samay baad yaha marammat hui thi aur ab ye kuch kuch waisi he lag rahi thi jaisi barso pehle thi bas aas-paas bahut kuch badal gaya tha aur kuch ghane vriksh gayab the.
'Waqt. Bas wahi toh laut nahi sakta kabhi.', Apne aap se itna keh kar ek cigratte sulga li aur apne raste ho liye. Is vivah se nibatne ke baad kya karna hai iska vichaar Muskaan se milne ke baad he bana liya tha aur bas ye aaj ka din jaise taise nikalna bhar tha. Mukhya maarg se ghar tak aane me 20 minute he lage the. Sahi 5 baje car ghar me khadi karte wo hath-mooh dho kar apne pita ke pas aa baithe.
"Sab sahi hai na Shankar? Kuch reh gaya ho toh jaate hue le jana. Badi bhabhi Bijender ke sath he aane wali hai udhar.", Apne bete se baat shuru karte hue Pandit ji ne chehre par jhaag banate hue khud ko aaine me dekha.
"Haan, sab sahi hai papa. Itna kuch taam-jhaam toh hai nahi is taraf. Gine-chune log aayenge aur bhojan karke wapis.Samay lagega toh wo fero me lagega. Vidaai 2-3 baje tak ho jaani hai. Aapki taraf thoda jyada kaam rehne wala hai.", Shankar ke aane ka pata kaushalya ji ko bhi lag gaya tha aur wo tulsi me argh dene ke baad rasoi me chali gayi.
"Kaam toh waha bhi kuch nahi hai. Baraat aayegi 50-60 logo ki aur 100 log shayad haveli ki taraf se ho baaki gaanv walo ka bhojan karkyakram alag se dharamshala me hai jidhar hamara koyi kaam nahi. Tum badi gaadi le jana apne sath aur Sanjiv bhi 4 log cielo me le jayega. Sombir Singh ki taraf jitne kam log jaaye utna he thik hai.", Rameshwar ji ke aisa kehne par Shankar ko abhaas toh ho he gaya tha ke unke mann me chinta hai kisi baat ki lekin sawaal poochne ka dil nahi hua.
"Waise kaun kaun ja raha hai aapke sath.?"
"Satish ki gaadi badi hai toh usme 6-7 log aa he jayenge aur baaki jisko Arjun apni gaadi me jagah de wo uske sath baith jayega. Vivah ke baad tumhari maa aur main aaj Raghubir ke he ghar rukne wale hai. Satish baaki sabko le aayega aur Arjun ke sath jaane wale Arjun ke sath he wapis aayenge.", Rameshwar ji rasor gaal par chalate hue ab chup hue toh Shankar ko thoda ajeeb laga Arjun ke baare me jaankar.
"Wo car uski hai toh ye matlab toh nahi papa ke apne sath sath wo baaki sabko khatre me daale. Aapne ijajat kaise de di ki wo shehar se bahar car leke ja sakta, khud chala kar.?"
"Tumhara konsa pech dheela hai bhai? Kal uska pakka license aa gaya ghar aur raat ko wo mujhe dikha bhi gaya ke ab main usko mana na karu. Tum 15 ke the jab jeep chalane lage the aur wo bhi baap ki sarkari, bina pooche le jaane wale. Arjun ko main mana nahi karne wale, tumhe karna hai toh karo.", Wapis apni daadhi saaf karte hue wo khamosh hue toh Kaushalya ji dono ke liye chai le aayi.
"Ab aap kya samjhane lage isko itni savere?"
"Maa kuch nahi bas main papa se keh raha tha ke wo Arjun ko thodi jyada he dheel de rahe hai. Khud gaadi chala ke jana thik nahi uska waha gaanv tak lekin ye keh rahe hai ke uska pakka license aa gaya hai toh rokenge nahi.", Shankar ji ko laga tha ke ab maa unki taraf se papa se behas karengi.
"Haan so toh hai ji. Arjun ko abhi se aadat daalni chahiye thoda bahar bhi car chalane ki. Ye log ghar nahi hote toh Satish bhai ko pareshan karna padta hai ya fir Tara ko. Ab aage Purnima ke ghar me chakkar lagne wale hai toh Arjun ko raste se atche se pata hone he chahiye.", Apni maa ka aisa jawaab sunn kar ab Shankar ne behas karna band he kar diya. Rameshwar ji chehra saaf karte hue muskurate hue Shankar ko dekhne lage.
"Barkhurdar, ab jara suno apne baap ki bhi baat. Aainda se main Arjun ko koyi bhi aadesh-nirdesh nahi dene wala hu. Padhai kare, khele koode aur apni zindagi jeeye. Aur tum karoge Narinder aur Rajkumar ke sath ghar ke saare kaam. Hospital jao, vivah ke sabhi kaam dekho aur mujhse salaah karo ya apni maa se. Wo ladka agar mujhe rojana ke kaam se alag kuch karta dikha toh thik nahi rahega.", Rameshwar ji ne ekaek Arjun ko sab niyamo aur dayitva se ajaad kar diya tha. Shankar ji ke liye ye baat chaukane wali thi.
"Aur wo hath se bahar nikla toh kya karenge aap? Usko apni najar me rakhne ki jarurat hai papa, aap he toh kehte hai ke woh jaldi bhatakne lagta hai."
"Maine bhatakna nahi kaha tha Shankar, urja kahi aur na lagane lage ye kaha tha. Jo kar raha hu tumahri he behtari ke liye kar raha hu. Jyada apne kareeb rakhunga toh kahi woh tumhare he peeche na padd jaye. Aaj wo jaha ja raha hai usko ajaad jana chahiye nahi toh baatein kab aur kaha se nikal aaye pata nahi chalta.", Rameshwar ji khade hue aur idhar Shankar ka sar kuch soch kar jhuk gaya.
"Wo kuch galat nahi kar rahe Shankar aur tujhe ye samajhna he hoga ki Arjun ki apni ek zindagi hai. Kal jo bhi hua is se inke dil ko kitni thess lagi hai ye tum samajh nahi sakte. Arjun ko waise he jeena hoga jaisa wo hamesha rehta tha yaha wapis aane ke baad. Isme he sabki bhalaai hai aur sabse jyada tumhari.", Kaushalya ji ne apne bete ko samjhate hue sar pe hath firaya aur andar chali gayi.
'Maa ab toh main chaah kar bhi kuch badal nahi sakta.', Shankar ne chai khatam karte hue galiyare se andar ka rukh kiya toh paseene me bheega Arjun sirf nikkar aur baniyaan me seedhiyo se niche aa raha tha. Pichle ek ghante se usne jamm kar paseena bahaya tha us chhoti vyayamshala me.
"Kaise ho papa? Aaj aap itni jaldi?", Arjun ne toliye se chehra saaf karne ke baad unke paanv chhuye aur fir kursi par baith gaya. Daadi uska bhi doodh aur khurak le kar idhar rakh gayi thi.
"Haan wapis bhi jana hai sabko le kar. Tum aaj bahar nahi gaye daud lagane?"
"Nahi, parso se jana shuru karunga papa. Abhi Aacharya ji bahar hai aur aaj didi bhi araam kar rahi thi. Akele jaane ka dil nahi karta.", Arjun ki baaju par ubharti machli 16 inch ki ho chali thi jaha vasa ki lesh-matra jhalak na thi. Pehle wala bhaari jism ab ek sampoorn kataav liye tarasha ja chuka tha.
"Atchi baat hai ke utna he paseena tum yahi nikal kar routine kharaab nahi kar rahe. Waise tumhari maa kaha hai? Kamra toh khali dikh raha hai.", Shankar ji ne apni biwi ko jikar kiya toh Arjun ne gilas niche rakhte hue kaha.
"Aapke kapde yahi bathroom me taang kar wo upar he gayi hai. Baaki kapde kamre me table par hain. Didi ko unki madad chahiye thi isliye maa unke pas gayi hai.", Arjun ne jaankari di aur Shankar ji bina kuch kahe snaan karne bathroomme chale gaye. Upar wali manjil par dono he taraf aaj ladkiyon ne kabja jamaya hua tha aur daadi ne keh diya tha ke koyi upar nahi jaayega. Na Sanjiv, na Shankar ya aur koyi. Doodh khatam karke Arjun bhi bahar bagiche me paani dene chala gaya.
"Chhote tu yahi sab karta rehta hai kya?", Sanjiv bhaiya bahar wale aangan ke bathroom se naha kar bahar nikle toh kahi kahi chot ke nishaan ujagar the lekin kasarati badan inka bhi aakarshak tha. Arjun ko peid-paudho me khoya dekh unhone jism par baniyaan pehante hue khamoshi bhang ki toh Arjun muskura diya.
"Yahi sab thik hai bhaiya nahi toh dada ji is baar mujhe koyi dheel nahi dene wale. Waise bhi ye us sab se jyada thik hai.", Kal dono he bhaiyo ko jamm kar fatkaar lagi thi Pandit ji se. Aur yahi wajah thi ki Rekha ji bhi Arjun ke liye chintit ho gayi thi.
"Apne thaanedar ji dil ke bade atche hai yar. Wo hamesha sahi kehte hai aur tujhe bhi toh maine samjhaya tha na ke sab unhe he karne de jo ye hamesha karte aa rahe hai. Waise sach kahu toh zindagi sabse atchi bhi yahi hai mere bhai. Tu sabke sath aur sab tere sath. Ye chhoti chhoti khushiyan, ek dusre ke kaam karna aur ghar ko ghar banaye rakhna har kisi ke bas ki baat nahi. Sabko aisi jindagi nahi milti.", Sanjiv bhaiya jaane kya yaad karne lage the aur Arjun unki baat sunn kar chhidkaav karte hue bola.
"Sabko milti hai bhaiya lekin hamare chunaav aur chahat ye sab nahi samajhte. Main yahi toh koshish kar raha tha ke jo is sabse dur hai unhe shamil karu. Lekin aap bhi sahi hai, jo jaisa karna chahta hai unhe karne do. Ab aadat ek din me toh badalne wali nahi jo 20-25 saal se lagi ho.", Arjun ne hath badha kar amrood ki ek sookhi tehni todd kar ek taraf rakh di. Sanjiv bhaiya bhi chalte hue kareeb aa gaye. Rameshwar ji par dono ki he najar nahi padi jo kabse inko dekhte hue baatein sunn rahe the.
"Ye sab chhod aur tu bas ab wahi kar jis se tujhe khushi mile, sabko atcha laga aur hamare thaanedar ji ko bhi bura na lage ke tu sahi se jee nahi raha. Abhi sab vyast hai, chal aadha ghanta game khelte hai.", Arjun ko paani band karte dekh bhaiya ne video game ka sujhaav diya toh Arjun bhi turant paani se hath paanv dho kar unke saath aangan ki taraf aane laga.
"Ek toh hai he aisa aur dusra uske sath reh kar jadd budhi ho jata hai. 6 baje tum dono video game kheloge?", Rameshwar ji andar se toh bahot khush the lein bahar jhoothe gusse se kaha aur idhar in dono ki ye soch kar fatt rahi thi ki wo toh peeth peeche apne dada ko thaanedar keh kar baat kar rahe the.
"Wo dada ji, sabne 8 baje nikalna hai aur abhi 6 nahi baje poore. Upar dono taraf toh didi log tayaar ho rahi hai toh itni der hum kare bhi toh kya kare?", Sanjiv toh Arjun ko bolne se rok he raha tha lekin Arjun ne majburi jatai toh Rameshwar ji hans diye.
"7 baje se pehle television ke saamne se hatt jana dono nahi toh video game bagiche me daba dunga main tumhari.", Manjuri milte he dono bhai ja baithe apni jagah aur Rameshwar ji mehmaan kamre ko band karte hue apni rivolver ko saaf karne me jutt gaye. Beshak wo ye chalate nahi the lekin jab bhi pariwar ke sath bahar jaate the tab isko bhi le kar jaate the. Unhe ye pasand bhi bahut thi aur isko chamkana bhi.

Haveli kitne he barso baad jagmag hui thi aur aaj itni savere bhi har taraf lagi rang-birangi laddiyan maddim roshni deti jagmag thi. Pariwarik log aur sambandhi sabhi haveli me he the aur jyadatar toh saadhe 6 baje poori tarah tayaar bhi ho chuke the. Ladke ki baraat 10 baje nikalne wali thi aur iske baad he ladki ke vivaah ka karykram shuru hone wala tha. Saamne wale nohre aur uske sath ke ek ekad maidaan ko samtal karwane ke baad raat he shamiyaane laga diye gaye the. Haveli ke andar bhi agle aur pichle aangan ko bade bade tent se sajaya ja chuka tha. Chandro Devi khud he ghoom fir kar nashta bana rahe logo aur sambandhiyo ko dekh rahi thi. Sultaan ko Bijender ne yahi mangwa liya tha apne dost se jo ab badi shaan se is lambe chaude aangan me ghoom raha tha.
"Charan sparsh badi kaaki, aapko dekh kar mann prasann ho gaya.", Haveli ke bahar ek videshi lambi car aur gypsy aa kar ruki toh mahol kuch pal ke liye ashaant sa ho gaya. 6 surakshakarmi gypsy se utar ke car ke barabar aa khade hue. Ek ne darwaja khol kar apne maalik ko utarne me sahayta ki toh sava 6 feet ka ye 50 varshiya raubdar vyakti bahar nikla. Dusri taraf se bhi 2 darwaje khule aur 2 yuvak bhi utar aaye jo is vyakti ke bete he the. Vyaktitva prabhavshali tha inka. Kaan me sone ke kundal, gale me rudraksh ki swarn-jadit mala aur tambai kurte ke niche safed pajame ke sath mehngi chamde ki chappal. Ek yuvak kareeb 27-28 saal ka tha jo ghani daadhi ke sath sath ausat tandrust tha. Dusre wala 24-25 ka thoda aadhunik aur apne baap ka laadla.
"Toh aaj hamare dar par Avdhesh Mishra khud padhare hai? Aur wo bhi apne beto ke sath. Sada khush raho.", Chandro Devi ne aashirwad dete hue sar par haath na rakha aur bade bete ne bas hath jode, chhota wala kamar par hath rakhe idhar udhar dekh raha tha jaise kaha le aaya uska baap is ujaad se gaanv me.
"Nimantran aapne bhijwaya ho toh hum kaun hote hain naa aane wale. Ye hamare bade suputra hai Brajesh Mishra aur eh waale hamare jigar ke tukde Bhaanu Mishra. Beta wo jo tumhare baba batate rehte the na Sombir Singh ji ki baatein, ye unhi ka ghar hai aur aap hain hamari badi Kaaki aadarniya Chandro Devi ji.", Abhi ye sab khade he the aur jald he 5-6 kursiya chayadar jagah me lagane ke baad sabko paani diya gaya. Bhanu ne hath se he mana karte hue fir se idhar udhar najar daudani shuru kar di.
"Atchi baat hai ke tum apna keemti samay nikal kar yaha itni dur gaanv tak aaye. Chai paani lo itne me kothi ka tala khulwati hu. Saaf safai karwa di gayi hai aur baaki nahane araam karne ki bhi uchit vyavastha hai.", Chandro Devi ne inki seva me 2 aadmiyo ko niyukt kiya aur Bijender bhi idhar aa gaya tha apni maa ko le kar. Bhaanu ne alag he chehra banate hue ek najar Sushila Singh ko dekha jo wheelchair par thi.
"Kaise ho Avdhesh? Bijender ye tumhare dada ji ke mitra ke bete hai Avdhesh Mishra, aur ye hai mera beta jiska byaah hai.", Bijender ne paanv chhuye aur Sultaan teeno ko soonghne ke baad surakshakarmiyo ko bhonkne laga. Avdhesh Mishra ne jeb se ek sone ka kada nikal kar Bijender ke hath me rakha toh usne lene se inkaar kar diya.
"Aashirwad bahut uncle, is sabki jarurat nahi hai."
"Rakh lo beta, pyaar se de rahe hai. Waise tumhara kutta itna bhonk kyu raha hai bhai.", Daadi ne bhi Bijender ko lene ko kaha toh usne kada apni maa ko pakda diya. Sultaan ko kutta kehne par thoda bura laga tha lekin aaj wo aisa kuch nahi karna chahta tha jis se kisi ko thess pahuche.
"Ji Sultaan ko aise log pasand nahi jinke pas hathiyar ho. Haveli ke bheetar hathiyaar laane ki manahi hai.", Bijender ke aisa kehne par Bhaanu ne apni kameej khaas andaaj me upar karte hue apni rivolver ki jhalak dikhane ka bachpana kiya toh Bijender muskura diya.
"Atchi baat hai ke is haveli me ab hathiyaar mana hai, waise Sudarshan toh shaukeen tha is sabka."
"Bacho ko manahi nahi hai uncle, wo khel sakte hai jitna dil kare bas baaki sabko mana hai.", Bijender ka kataaksh sunn kar Bhaanu ki jhaante sulag gayi thi aur Bijender waha se chala gaya tayaar hone. Ek taraf khadi nayi Ford Escort car par kuch log phool lagane ki tayaari karne lage the.
"Haveli ki bagdor ab Bijender ke hatho me hai Avdhesh aur uske niyam sabhi maante hai.", Chandro Devi ne itna kaha aur 2 aadmiyo ne yaha mej lagate hue chai-doodh mithai namkeen inke saamne laga diye. Avdhesh Mishra ne bhi hath ka ishara karte hue apne sabhi surakshakarmiyo ko bahar jaane ko kaha. Bhaanu aur Brajesh ki najar ek sath saamne se aati is pari par gayi toh wo dono bas dekhte he reh gaye. Richa nahane ke baad filhal ek saaf salwar-suit he pehne thi, khaas dress usne baad ke liye rakhi thi.
"Daadi aapko pandit ji bula rahe hai, unhe kuch baat karni hai aapse.", Chandro Devi baaki sabko abhi aane ka kehti apni ladli ke sath chal padi. Sushila Singh Avdhesh se baatein kar rahi thi aur dono bhai is jaati hui hirni ko he dekh rahe the.
"Ye Madhulata ke beti hai Avdhesh, Richa naam hai iska. Income Tad afsar ban gayi hai aur ek saal training ke baad Chandigarh duty karegi.", Sushila Singh ne parichaya diya toh Avdhesh ne gardan hilate hue kaha.
"Byaah ho jana chahiye bitiya ka bhi. Brajesh ke liye bhi ladki dekh rahe hai hum, mining ka sara business hamare bade bete he dekhte hai.", Apne baap ki baat sunn kar Brajesh khush ho gaya tha lekin Bhaanu ke chehre par narajgi saaf jhalak rahi thi.
"Iska byaah Shankar ki marji se hoga Avdhesh aur ye uski he laadli hai.", Ab Avdhesh ke bhi chehre par chinta ke baadal chha gaye the ye naam sunn kar.
"Chalo bhai jara kothi tak chhod do aur sab dikha do. Thoda araam karne ke baad bitiya ko shagun de kar fir samay se nikalna bhi hai.", Seva me lagaye vyakti se Avdhesh ne itna kaha aur uth khada hua. Wo bhi inhe le kar Sarpanch ke sath wale ghar ki taraf chal diya jo Chandro Devi ki he sampatti tha.
"Bhaiya wo ladki pasand hai mujhe.", Ek kamre me dono bhai bister par baith gaye toh Bhaanu ne apne dil ki baat kahi bade bhai se.
"Humko pata hai tumhe wo kitni pasand aayi hai Bhaanu. Ek raat waali pasand yaha nahi chalti aur tumne nahi dekha ke papa ye 'Shankar' naam sunn kar kaise uth kar chale aaye. Kuch aisa waisa matt karna jis se unki pareshani badhi. Ye hamara ilaka nahi hai ke banduk ke dum par tum manmaani karo aur sab khamosh rahe."
"Yar tum na sachmuch he fattu ho bhaiya, bataya tha na papa ne ke yaha ghar me koyi mard nahi hai. Wo ladka bhi nikal jayega budhiya ke sath apni shaadi ke liye, mauka mila toh saali ko kahi bhi daba kar pel dunga. Pasand aa gayi hai toh ab aa gayi hai.", Rivolver ko table par rakhta woh apne kapde dheele karte hue bathroom me ghus gaya aur Brajesh chinta me cigratte sulgate hue apne bhai ke baare me sochne laga. Wahi haveli ke andar Chandro Devi dabi awaaj me Lata ko jhaad rahi thi.
"Munni, tune nyota diya na Avdhesh ko? Mooh khol aur bata ke aisa kyu kiya jab pata hai ke aise log haveli me kadam nahi rakhne chahiye.?", Madhulata najre jhukaye khadi bahar se toh shaant thi lekin andar wo is aurat ko bhi maarne ka soch rahi thi.
"Phone aaya tha bhai sahab ka maa ji toh maine yahi bataya ke aap Bijender-Babita ke vivah ki wajah se shehar gayi ho. Inhone he khud ko aamantrit kar liya toh main kya karu?"
"Tumne mujhe toh nahi bataya ke Avdhesh ka phone aaya tha? Aaj yaha agar kuch bhi anhoni hui toh jaanti ho parinaam kya hoga? Suna hai ke tere bhai ne meri pauti par hath daalne ki himakat ki thi? Dekho Munni, jo bhi ho dhyaan rakhna ke sab niyantran me rahe.", Madhulata ko jara bhi ummeed nahi thi ki uski saas aisi baat bhi keh sakti hai aur unhe Chandarbhan ke baare me pata hoga.
"Mere saamne toh nahi hua tha na maaji. Galti kari toh fir mara gaya, isme main kaha beech me aa gayi?"
"Ghar me byaah ka mahol hai toh isko kharaab nahi karna. Tum kaam dekho aur tayaar ho jao, main apne paute ke sath jaungi aur idhar Rameshwar dekhega sabkuch. Galti nahi Munni bas itna he kahungi.", Chandro Devi ne baat na badhate hue Madhulata ko sachet karne ke baad apne kamre ka rukh kar liya.
'Agar budhiya ko kuch pata hai toh shaadi ke baad ye jarur kuch na kuch karegi. Dhamki bhi de he di aur fir jhootha dikhawa karke bata rahi hai ke main uski bahu hu. Saali Sheela aur uske londe bhi iska kuch na kar sake. Ye chutiya Avdhesh bhi jaane kya soch kar apni marwane idhar aa gaya jabki pata hai ke waha ek bhi pakda gaya toh fasega yahi.' Munni khud ko toh samjha rahi thi lekin ab darr bhi tha ke kahi kuch bhed saamne aaya toh wo bhi fansegi. 8 bajne tak sab tayaar ho chuke the aur aas-pados ki mahilao ke sath Bijender ko kursi par baitha kar geet gaaye ja rahe the.

Shankar ji safed rang ka araamdayak naya kurta pyjama pehan kar tayaar ho chuke the. Nashta unhe Lalita je ne karwa diya tha aur ab wo apne bade bhai Rajkumar, Col sahab aur papa ke sath baatchit me lage the. Ghadi ne paune 8 ka samay dikhaya toh woh sabko chalne ka bolne ke liye bheetar aangan me aa gaye. Maadhuri, Priyanka aur Komal ne jaane se mana kar diya tha jis par Rameshwar ji ne bhi sehmati de di thi aur wo nischint bhi the kyonki sabne saanjh se pehle he wapis aa jana tha.
"Bhabhi, bijliya girane ki sachmuch koyi umar nahi hoti.", Shankar ji aadatan apni badi bhabhi ko chhed rahe the jinhone hari-sunehari saree pehan rakhi thi aur unke gore-gadraaye jism par ye behad dilkash bhi lag rahi thi. Laal chudiyan, gale me mangalsutra, hath me 2 kade sone ke aur uchit laali ke sath gol laal bindi. Lalita ji bijli he toh gira rahi thi.
"Haan tere pe he gira di maine saari bijli. Tere wali ko dekh aur fer bata ke wo bijli gira rahi hai ya tufaan.", Unke gol chehre par motiyon si chamkaan wali muskurahat sachmuch khaas thi. Hamesha ki tarah moohfatt aur hansmukh Lalita ji ka koyi saani na tha. Aur seedhiyon se utarti Preeti Ritu par najar padte he Shankar ji bas in bachiyon ko he dekhte reh gaye. Bina baah ka reshmi neela-safed salwaar kameej aur waise he rango ka dupatt liye Preeti aaj hindustani avtaar me thi. Maathe par ek gol safed bindi aur kaano me patli chain wale jhumke. Bhoore baal kareene se ek stylish choti me bandhe the, saath he punjabi jooti, payal aur kalai me neeli safed choodiyan.
"Wow, ab lagta hai meri beti sabse sundar hai.", Shankar ji ne Preeti se muskurakar kaha toh Ritu bhi hansne lagi. Aaj Ritu ke bhi gore chehre par sirf ek bindi aur kaajal laga tha. Samandar ke mile-jule rango wala kameej aur dheeli patiyala salwar me wo waisi he lag rahi thi jaise athaah neela samandar.
"Thank you uncle. Ritu didi ke kapde hai aur Alka didi ne tayaar kiya mujhe.", Abhi wo Alka ka jikar he kar rahi thi ki Alka, Tara aur Rupali ke sath Vicki bhi salwar kameej me he tayar ho kar idhar aa gayi thi. 6 khoobsurat navyuvtiya dekh kar Shankar ji ko sahi laga tha Sangwan ji se waha suraksha lena.
"Mama ji, ab kiska wait kar rahe ho aap? Sab tayaar hai toh nikaliye gaadi.", Tara hamesha ki tarah sabse he alag kapdo me thi. Frock jaise lambe kameej aur niche bilkul chust salwar aur gale me bareek chain ke beech kala chamakdar patthar. Arjun ne atcha nikhara tha apne pyaar se Tara ko jo aaj har ang tarasha hua lagta tha.
"Tumhari maami nahi dikh rahi isliye khada hu beta."
"Maa toh apne kamre me he hai.", Komal didi ne darwaja khol kar Rekha ji ko chalne ka bataya toh Unke sath he Romela aur Renuka bhi bahar aa gayi. Na chahte hue bhi Shankar ji ke dil me Romela ne halchal macha di thi. Greek sundari ne unki he biwi ki ek gulabi saree pehni hui thi aur wo bhi paramparik makeup ke sath. Seena shayad Rekha se bhi thoda bhaari tha aur rang kudrati safed. Apne pati ko aise samdhan ki taraf dekhte Rekha ji ki bhi najar padd he gayi, jo sabse aakhir me kamre se nikli.
"Maa aap kamaal lag rahi ho." Ye baat Preeti ne kahi thi jis se Shankar ji ka dhyaan hata toh apni biwi par najar gayi. Madhu bua ka diya wo jaridaar salwar-kameej aaj dhanya ho gaya hoga is khoobsurati ke paryaay Rekha se lipat kar. Laal kurti ke saamne lakdi ke sajawati button aur kinare par bana sunehari jaridaar design. Sar pe saadgi se liya dupatta jo seene bhi dhake tha. Preeti Rekha ji se he ja kar lipti thi.
"Tum bhi bahot pyaari lag rahi ho. Najar na lage meri beti ko.", Rekha ji ne aankh se kaajal nikal kar Preeti ke najar ka tika lagaya aur sabhi bahar chalne lage. Ab Shankar ji ko apni galti mehsoos ho rahi thi ki unhe ye nahi karna chahiye tha. Kam se kam Rekha ke saamne toh bilkul bhi nahi.
"Arjun kaha hai?", Ritu didi ne bahar aate he sab taraf dekha lekin yaha Arjun na tha. Cielo ko bahar nikale Sanjiv bhaiya bhi tayaar khade the. Rekha, Romela, Rupali safari me baith gaye the jiska AC Shankar ji ne chalu kar diya tha. Rameshwar ji ne ghadi me samay dekha toh thik 8 baj chuke the aur seedhiyon se niche utarta Arjun safed khaadi ke kurte ki aasteen saleke se modd kar aangan me aa khada hua. Aaj hath par chamde ke pate wali ye mehngi ghadi thi jo usko Madhu bua ne bhent ki thi. Kaale rang ka 'Ray ban' aur safed kase hue vastro me apne bete ko dekh ek pal ke liye Shankar ji bhi prashansha kar he gaye.
"Sab aise kya dekh rahe ho, chalo apni apni gaadi me baitho.", Arjun ke kehne par Rameshwar ji ne uska kaan marod diya, halke se.
"Sabse aakhir me tu he aaya hai. Inki gaadiyan nikalne de fir hum bhi chalte hai.", Shankar ji ne apne pita ki baat sunn kar Sanjiv ko dekha toh usne bhi car chaalu kar di jisme Aarti, Tara, Renuka aur Alka baith gayi. Dono gaadiyan ghar se nikli toh Col Sahab ne gate ke pas gaadi lekar aaye Muneer ko rakhwali karne ka samjhya aur bata diya ke wo log 3 baje tak aa jayenge. Rameshwar ji apne dharam bhai Col sahab ke sath agli seat par sawaar hue toh piche Rajkumar ji apni biwi aur maa ke sath. Arjun apni chamakti kaali lancer me baitha toh Preeti ne he Ritu didi ko bagal wali seat par baithate hue khud pichli badi seat par kabja jama liya.
"Ye tumhara purse diya tha maa ne"
"Aur ye rumaal." Ritu didi ne purse aur Preeti ne rumaal aage badhaya toh Arjun ne gear lagate hue muskurate hue dono he cheej car ke gear ke pas rakh di.
"Planning jyada he nahi karke rakhti aap dono.?", Aage chalti badi gaadi ke peeche he wo chal diya. Ek najar Ritu didi ke mehakte husn ko dekhne ke sath he beech wale aaine se Preeti ko bhi nihar liya tha usne. Gaadi me alag he madhoshi bhar gayi thi dono ke aate he.
"Waise Preeti tumhe yaha baithna chahiye tha.", Ritu ne apni seat ke liye Preeti ko kaha toh Preeti ne CD wala button dono ke beech se he dabate hue jo jawaab diya us se dono bhai behan ek pal ke liye niruttar he ho gaye.
"Fir aap iski goad me baith jaati aur hum kahi combined honeymoon par toh chale nahi jo aisa karenge. Shaadi me ja rahe hai aur aage chalti gaadi me jo baithe hai unke kisi ke bhi najar ka chasma nahi laga hua."
"Tu maar khayegi mere se. Main toh isliye keh rahi thi ki ye seat teri he toh hai.", Ritu didi ne sharam ke sath he muskurate hue kaha aur Arjun ne gaadi ek taraf rok di.
"Aap bhi peeche baith jaiye didi aur koyi sawaal nahi.", Arjun ne jaise he ye kaha Ritu bhi samajh gayi ki Arjun Preeti ko wahi maan dena chahta hai jo wo dene ki koshish kar rahi thi. Agli gaadi dheemi hui thi lekin ab dono he peeche baith gayi toh Arjun ne sadak par dhyaan dete hue car ki raftar 60 ke paar kar di. Halki awaaj me gaane chalne ke sath he peeche baithi dono ladkiyan bhi baatein karne lagi aur Arjun bas bypaas se nikalte is raste ko dekhne laga. Thodi aage nikalte he Arjun ne dhyaan diya toh ab ek gypsy dada ji ke aage chal rahi thi aur uski car ke peeche.
"Feeling VIP jaisi aa rahi hai didi. Aapne dekha dada ji ka kamaal, apne peeche security hai aur aage bhi.", Preeti ne dhyaan dilaya toh Ritu didi ne bhi gor se dekha.
"Wo toh koyi private security hai, police nahi lekin sabki dress ek jaisi hai.", Ritu didi ka nirikshan bhi kamaal ka he tha. Aur udhar Shankar ji safari ko 100 ki raftaar se chala rahe the wahi Sanjiv bilkul apna chacha ke barabar car dauda raha tha. Dono gaanv ek dusre se viprit the aur inka shehar thik beech me.
"Chacha ji gaadi kyo rok di.?", Sanjiv ne car sadak se utarte he Safari ko ek taraf rukte dekh khud bhi gaadi thoda aage laga kar rok di. Shankar ji ke pas Bhuppi ko khade dekh Sanjiv ne charan sparsh kiye aur dekhne laga.
"Shankar bhai Sangwan chacha ne 10 log toh haveli wale hisse me lagwa rakhe hai aur 10 mandir ke barabar. Yaha bhi 3 log rahenge aur 3 gaanv se udhar jaate raste par. Main mandap ke pas he rahunga aur ye dono aadmi haveli ki chhat par. Suna hai Avdhesh Mishra waha dusri shaadi me aaya hua hai, Umed ne phone par chacha ko bataya thodi der pehle toh unhone waha bhi 12 log bhej diye hai 2 gypsy ke sath.", Bhuppi ne rivolver load karke Shankar ki taraf badhai toh unohne mana kar diya.
"Meri darling gaadi me he rakhi hai jaani, tu bas mere sath byaah ke maje le. Avdhesh idhar aisa waisa kuch nahi karega aur agar galti ki toh wo Gajju ke nishane par hai. Baaki baat udhar chal ke karte hai, mujhe kuch jaruri baat karni hai tere sath.", Shankar ji ne Rupali ko ishara se apni maa ke pas baithne ka kaha aur Bhuppi ko bagal me baithate hue wo haveli ki taraf aa gaye. Logo ke khaane peene ka prabandh yaha bhi atche se kiya gaya tha aur Haveli ke saamne wale nohre me he shamiyane lagwa kar ek kataar me 20 badi table khaane ke bartano se sajne wali thi. Mahilao aur ladkiyon ko Haveli ke andar le jaa kar khud Shankar ji ne he Akshara-Muskaan se unka parichaya karwaya aur sath he Sitara devi se bhi.
"Taai aap sabse jaan-pehchaan karwao main jara baaki sab dekh leta hu.", Haveli ke bahar wale aangan me he mahilao ke liye pandaal aur tent lagwaya gaya tha jaha filhal tayaari chal rahi thi. Akshara sabhi ladkiyon ko le kar apne behan ke kamre ki aur chali gayi jo pehle Babita ka hota tha.
"Bhuppi, mere upar najar kaun rakh sakta hai? Ya Narinder par? Aisi najar ki saamne wale ko hum dono bhaiyo ki har waqt ki khabar rahe.?", Sanjiv aate he Vikas ke sath kaam me lag gaya tha aur ye dono bahar lage tent ki chhaya me khade guftgu karne lage.
"Impossible hai bhai Shankar ki tere upar najar rakhi ja sake. Tere baare me toh sirf tujhe he pata hota hai aur rahi Narinder ki baat toh uska toh rakba is haveli jitna hai. Najar rakhne ki jarurat he nahi kyonki wo waha ghar aur apne kaam ke siwa kahi nahi jaata. Dikkat kya aa rahi hai aur jara tafseel se bata.?"
"Bindu. Bindu ka connection hai kisi aise se jo gaanv ka he hai unke aur wo phone karta rehta hai usko jis se hamari soochna Bindu ko milti rahe. Ek kadi hai ye insaan jo parchai jaisa hai. Parchai ki koyi surat nahi hoti aur na usko pakad sakte.", Shankar ji ne thande ka ek gilas Bhuppi ki taraf badhaya aur ek khud utha liye is sevak se jo catering walo ki taraf se kaam kar raha tha. Bhuppi ke gambhir chehre par duniya jahanki soch aa chuki thi is samay.
"Behanchod aisa kaun fanne khan aa gaya be jo teri soochna rakh sakta hai? Koyi toh jhol hai Shankar aur agar aisa hai bhi toh ab tu nischint ho ja. Gaanv me abaadi he kitni hai waha? 5000 mushkil se toh phone ke connection hone hadd 100, dekh jara ab is parchhai ki maa ka bhosda."
"Bhuppi baat teri thik hai lekin waha 3 PCO hai aur phone wahi se hue honge kyonki International suvidha toh haveli wale phone me bhi nahi hai. Sirf Umed ke ghar hai aur waha tak majaal nahi ke koyi ghus bhi sake. PCO ka hum kuch kar nahi sakte.", Aaspas chhidkaav karke mitti ko atche se baithaya jaa raha tha toh dono he chalte hue thoda aage ki taraf ho liye. Suraksha chokas thi yaha toh unhe koyi darr na tha.
"PCO ki detail bhi nikal jaati hai mere bhai. Aur gaanv se England number milate he kitne log honge? Haan wo main sadak wale PCO par thodi jyada mehnat ho sakti hai. Bindu ka phone number mil sakta hai kya?"
"Mil jayega, binna pareshani."
"Bas fir ab ek baar par wo number kisi bhi PCO se match kar jaye fir jo bhi ghanti bajayega uski main baja dunga. Tu nishchint reh aur kaam dekh. Main bhi jara Sanjiv se batla lu." Yaha 9 baje ab kaam jor-shor se shuru ho chuka tha. Khaane ka karyakram 10 baje se 1 baje tak tha jo ghanta jyada bhi chal sakta tha aur baraat ka samaya 11 baje ka tha, fere bhi 1 se 2 ke beech hone wale the haveli se 200 gaj dur sthit mandir me. Yaha par savere 7 baje se najra rakh rahe Dinu ki hava khushk ho gayi thi aisi ghera bandi dekh kar. Safed kameej aur kali pant me wo catering walo ki veshbhoosha me gali aur nohre me kaam kar raha tha. Kuch soch kar wo khali balti liye ek taraf nikal chala jaha shayad uske baaki dono saathi the.
"Maange bhaiya, jor ki gherabandi hai eha toh. Uh bhojai hum dekhe abhi 30 minute pehle aur unke sath aur bhi kayi pari jaisi londiya aayi hui han. 8 aadmi asla liye dono taraf najar rakhe hai toh aise me hath hilane se pehle sharir ma 8 naya chedd bana deyi oh sasure.", Dinu yaha mandir ki bagal me ghaas kaat rahe Maange ko sab soochna dene laga toh wo waise he ghaas tarashte hue dhimi awaaj me jawaab dene lage.
"Idhar bhi kono alag haal nahi Dinu. 6 aadmi mandir ke aaju-baju pehra de rahe.", Khade hote hue Maange ne khaali balti me nalke se paani bharna shuru kiya toh Dinu kapde se apna chehra saaf karne laga. Ab khichdi daadhi ki jagah chikna chehra tha uska, shave karne ki wajah se. Hariya bhi ek cycle liye idhar he chala aaya. Carier par hara chara bandha tha aur sar pe angocha. Jeb se beedi nikal kar wo cycle par stand par lagata kinare ki patari par baith gaya.
"Ek kash humka bhi lagwa do bhaiya.", Dinu ne abhinaya karte hue aisa kaha kyonki saamne se he kuch log mandir me jaa rahe the. Ab dono he alag alag beedi jalaye baithe the. Dinu ne ishare se Maange ko kareeb aane ko kaha toh wo balti wahi chhod kati hui ghaas unke kareeb baith kar ekatrit karne laga.
"Bahar wali Haveli ke pas bhi pehra hai bhaiya aur chhatt par bhi. Aap dono nikal lo enha se, hum kar dayi uh madam ka kaam. Tamncha hamaar hawale kar deyo bhaiya, chhipane me bhi dikkat na hoyegi.", Hariya ki baat sunn kar Maange ne vichaar karte hue jawaab diya.
"Kaam Dinu karega Hariya. Iske pas vardi bhi hai aur kono shak bhi nahi karega. Tum dusre raste pahucho, hum bhi wahi milte hai. Pandit keh rahe ke 1 baje enha rasam hogi, Dinu madam ke sath aa sakat hai araam se aur bahir se he nishana laga kar ye diwar kood ke seedha gaanv se bahir. Oh baaje ka awaaj nikal kar shor macha denge toh goli ki awaaj dabb jayi."
"Thik hai bhaiya, yahi sahi rahega.", Abhi wo baat kar rahe the ke Dinu ke gaal par ye karara tamacha lagne se beedi dur ja giri. Maange apna kaam karta raha lekin Hariya taish me aa gaya. Dinu ki awaaj sunn kar khamoshi se cycle utha kar wo seedha chal diya.
"Madarchod bhosdike ke 150 rupaye beedi foonkne ke dunga kya main tujhe? Teri maa saaf karegi waha jo bartan ka dher laga hai? Bhosdike ke gandi naali ke keede kaam karna nahi aur laat sahab ki tarah yaha beedi peete hue kamchori kar rahe hai.", Ye motta sa adhed aadmi catering ka thekedar tha aur jab sirf tamache he dil nahi bhara toh ek laat kass ke Dinu ke pichwade par jama di.
"Galti ho gayi seth ji. Aaahh.. jaa rahe hum udhar he, paani lene abhi aaye the enha toh beedi maang li. Maaf kar do seth ji hum abhi safaai kar dete hai.", Gaand masalta wo mann masos kar paani ki balti liye udhar he chal diya jaha se aaya tha. Maange ne beshak dekha nahi tha lekin awaaj sunn kar khoon toh uska bhi khol gaya tha.

Sombir Singh ki haveli ke bahar gaadiyo ka kafila rukte he Shankar ji ne pehle surksha wali agli gypsy ka rukh kiya. Yaha unhe hairani hui ki Gulati khud he inhe le kar aaya tha. Safed ujli kameej jo hamesha wo hospital me pehanta tha aur khakhi patloon ke saath waise he joote me woh yaha bhi doctor he lag raha tha.
"Yar ye sab kya hai Mehul?"
"Chacha ji, Sangwan Chacha ne in sabko bheja aur main aapke sath rehne wala hu. Aap andar mulakaat kijiye itne main inhe samjha deta hu ke ye kaha kaha nigrani karenge. Haveli ke andar toh koyi nahi jayega lekin Mandir aur yaha bahar ki suraksha main lagwata hu.", Gulati ne Pandit ji ke saamne bade Sangwan ji ka naam liya toh woh bas muskura diye. Gulati ka gaal sehlate hue unhone usko bhi faarig hote he andar aane ka kaha.
"Chalo bhai sab utaro aur ye Arjun car me he kyo baitha hai?", Kaushalya ji pas chali aayi toh Pandit ji ne Arjun ke car se bahar na nikalne par sawaal kiya.
"Darwaja is taraf se bhi khol do.", Kaushalya ji jawaab deti us se pehle Bijender ne gate par khade vyakti se kaha. Ek bada darwaja poora khula tha aur ab dusra khulte he Arjun ne car idhar badha di. Diwar ke kareeb he rakhte hue sahi jagah par car lagate hue Arjun bahar utar aaya.
"Shaadi mubarak ho bade bhaiya.", Arjun ne Dulhe ki poshak pehne khade Bijender ko gale lagte hue kaha. Sirf pagdi sehra he baaki tha jo wo Mandir me dhok lagane ke samay he pehan ne wala tha. Chandro Devi ke sath he Purnima ji aur Rajeshwari bhi idhar aa gaye the.
"Thank you so much Arjun. Aur mujhe maa ne bata diya tha ke teri gaadi yahi lagne wali hai. Charan sparsh dada ji, daadi ji.", Bijender ne sabse aashirwad liya aur idhar Arjun Chandro Devi ke gale lagne ke baad Purnima ji aur apni chachi se bhi gale he lag kar mila. Car se bahar nikalti Ritu aur Preeti ne sabko hath jodd kar namastey ki thi jiske badle me dono ko he badi daadi aur baaki sabse sneh mila.
"Guddi, Babita ke kamre me le ja ri inhe. Khaas khayal rakhiyo in donua ka, Richa toh hai he waha.", Guddi kaaki bhi dono ladkiyon ko pyaar se sar par hath ferne ke baad apne saath le gayi. Yaha Arjun apni Sushila bua se milne Bijender ke sath he andar chal diya aur Chandro Devi in sabko le kar baithak ki taraf chal di. Yahi log the jo unke bure samay se le kar aaj tak sath rahe toh inka satkaar khaas tha.
"Bhaiya, wo Richa toh aap he dekho. Mujhe toh wo dono chahiye ya kam se kam wo bhoore baalo wali. Tabahi maal aur wo bhi is gaanv me.", Bhaanu ab tak yaha se thoda parichit ho chuka tha aur tent me baitha wo apne bhai ke sath Preeti Ritu ko dekh bhi chuka tha.
"Bhaanu galti na kariyo koyi, ladki khoobsurat hai lekin wo is ghar ki khaas hai."
'Maa chudaye ye sala fattu, itne security guard hai mere pas aur ye rivolver bhi. Saali ko akela dekhte he daboch lunga.', Bhunbhunata hua wo uth kar haveli ke kamro ki taraf jaane laga tha lekin saamne baithe Sultan ki gurrahat bata rahi thi ki aage laxman rekha hai toh apni hadd me he raho.
"Aunty ji is kutte ko baandh kyu nahi deti? Ab bathroom jana ho toh ye toh andar jaane nahi dega.", Sushila Singh ab tayaar hone ke baad paramparik veshbhoosha me thi lekin wheelchair ki jagah ek taraf hocky ka sahara liye. Bhaanu ke aisa kehne par unhone sateek jawaab diya.
"Beta bathroom us tarah hai aur wo bhi 2-2, ek saamne wale plot me bhi hai aur 3 bagal wali kothi me bhi jaha tum thehre ho. Sultan samjha raha hai ke waha sirf ladies hai.", Sushila Singh ki baat sunn kar Bhaanu ko gussa toh aaya lekin wo jyada ulajh nahi sakta tha. Uske pita abhi kothi me he the aur wo sath hote toh shayad Bhaanu kuch himakat karta.
"Ji pata nahi tha aunty. Waise bade purane rule hai aapke yaha, ladies aur gents ke alag alag hisse."
"Na beta aisa nahi hai lekin yaha ghar-pariwar aur athithi ke beech fansla jarur rakha jata hai.", Abhi woh itna jawaab de rahi thi ki bagal se Arjun ne unhe baahon me lete hue gaal choom liya.
"Toh meri pyaari bua ji aap yaha ho. Andar bhaiya ke pas aap dikhi nahi.", Sushila ke chehre par bhi ek muskaan aa gayi thi Arjun ke aisa karne par. Bhaanu bade gor se Arjun ko dekh raha tha. Itna lamba chauda ladka aur wo bhi itna bekhof ho kar is aurat se mil raha tha.
"Tujhe dekhne he aayi thi main idhar lekin nahi dikha toh Bijender ke pas he aane wali thi. Ye hai Bhaanu, bahubali Avdhesh Mishra ka suputra.", Arjun ko ek taraf se apne sath lagaye he Sushila ne saamne khade ladke ka parichaya diya toh Arjun bhi dhyaan se dekhne laga aur fir sirf mooh se abhivadan kiya.
"Hello, Arjun Sharma this side."
"Bahubali Bhaanu Mishra.", Apne naam ke sath ye upadhi lagate hue Bhaanu ne 34 inch ki chaati bahar nikalte hue jawaab diya aur mudd kar wapis chal dia.
"Bua, iske peit me dard tha kya? Hahaha.. Chalo bhaiya bula rahe hai.", Arjun ne hanste hue kaha aur Sushila bhi sath he hans padi. Dono he Bijender ke kamre ki taraf chal diye jaha uski dur ki bua aur kuch log tayaar karne ke sath geet bhi gaa rahi thi.
"Ab bahubali bann ke bhi toh dikhana tha na usne, pant girne wali thi jo bach gayi jaise taise.", Sushila bhi majaak me sath deti Arjun ko liye idhar aa gayi. Logbaag haveli ke bahari bade aangan me aane lage the aur saamne wali taraf bhi pandaal me chehal pehal shuru ho chuki thi. Sarpanch wale ghar ko chhod kar aaspas ki 4 ekad jameen sirf Haveli ke maalik ki he thi. Umed Singh bhi bahar apne aadmi lagane ke sath parking, pandaal bhi jaanch rahe the. Mard aur parichit log Umed se he mil rahe the jiske sath Mehul Gulati bhi thanda peete hue chehal kadmi kar raha tha. Bijender ki car bhi tayaar khadi thi dher saare phool se sajne ke baad. Pandaal me gulab ka itra daal kar paani ke cooler beawaaj chal rahe the.
"Umed bhai ye Avdhesh hai kaun? Aur yaha toh haveli me sabhi ko jaane ki ijajat bhi nahi hai. Log toh tumse he mil rahe hai aur fir pandaal me jaa rahe hai."
"Mehul bhai, Tauji ka bada naam raha hai aur ab Taai ji ka hai. Gaanv toh 3 se 1 ho gaye lekin agar yahi shaadi 25 saal pehle hoti toh 10 ekad me pandaal lagta. Saare gaanv bhoj par aate. Haan haveli ke andar sirf pehchaan wale aur wo bhi shaadi ki wajah se jaa rahe hai. Aangan tak he purush baith sakte hai uske aage sirf pariwar.", Umed Singh ke hath me bhi ek betaar tha jis par unke logo ki baat wo sunn sakte the. Abhi pandaal me ronak lagne lagi thi aur kothi se tayaar ho kar Avdhesh Mishra apne 2 surakshakarmiyo ke sath inke kareeb aa khada hua.
"Kaise ho Mishra ji? Swagat hai aapka.", Umed Singh ke pehal karne par Avdhesh Mishra ne bhi hath milate hue waisa he jawaab diya.
"Bhai tumhare jaise toh thaath nahi hai Umed Singh bas gujare layak kama khaa rahe hai. Hello.", Baad me Gulati se bhi hath milaya toh usne bhi atche se abhivadan kiya.
"Bahubali Avdhesh Mishra toh apne aap me ek misaal hai. Delhi se le kar Purvanchal tak jiska danka bajta ho wo aise kehte atcha nahi lagta. Waise gaadi atchi li hai tumne.", RR likhi wo videshi car sabse alag he thi yaha khadi 3 darjan gaadiyo me se.
"Tum sath do toh Haryana aur Punjab tak jaa sakte hai, aisi gaadiyan har mahine badal lena.", Abhi ye log baat kar rahe the ki ek taraf se Bhaanu apne baap ke barabar aa khada hua aur uske sath parichaye karwate he khud Avdhesh ki najar is lagbhag sava 6 feet ke videshi saand se tagde yuvak par padi. Aasti utna he mudi hui thi jitna kalaai se upar ja sakti thi lekin is ladke ko aas-pas khada lagbhag har vyakti nihaar raha tha.
"Ye hero kaun hai, haveli se aa raha hai lekin haveli ka toh nahi lagta?"
"Arjun naam hai iska aur mera goad liya beta hai.", Umed ke itna kehne ke sath he Arjun apne se 3 inch lambe chacha ke gale lag gaya. Lambai Avdhesh Mishra ki bhi atchi thi lekin sharir itna majboot aur chauda jara bhi na tha.
"Chacha aap yaha dhoop me kaale ho raha ho aur baba aapko andar bula rahe hai. Namstey uncle.", Arjun ne Mehul ke paanv chhune ka upkram kiya toh unhone bhi gale lagna behtar samjha.
"Beta aap hai..
"Bahubali Avdhesh Mishra ji, pranaam. Arjun Shankar Sharma.", Arjun ne pehle he naam batate hue hath jodte hue ek muskaan di toh Avdhesh Mishra bhi bahar se muskurate hue hath joddne laga. Arjun turant he wapis chala gaya.
"Matlab bhai ke bete ko he goad le liya aur naam bhi khaas diya hai is ladke ko. Chaal toh Shankar jaisi nahi hai iski lekin chehra kuch kuch waisa he hai. Aur batao bhai Umed, jab hum araam karne gaye toh yaha kuch khaas halchal na thi lekin ab dekho toh darjano log security par lage hai.", Avdhesh Mishra ne kuch soch kar vishaya badal diya tha. Umed bhi pata na lagne dene ke sath har baat dhyaan se sunn raha tha.
"Shankar ne bheja hai inhe aur DIG ne bhi yaha aur mandir par pehra lagwaya hai. Pata nahi kya jarurat thi is sabki lekin suna hai udhar Rammehar kaka ki taraf toh poori chhaavni bana rakhi hai Shankar aur DIG ne.", Itna sunn kar he Avdhesh ke andar paani chalne laga tha. Ye ummeed na thi ki waha ek mamuli shaadi me kuch aisa hoga.
"Chalo bhai tum bhi milo sabse andar aur main bhi dulhe ko neg de kar fir nikalta hu.", Avdhesh apne chhote bete ko sath liye inke sath he haveli ke andar chal diya. Gulati pandaal me chal diya tha kyonki pyaas lag aayi thi. Umed Singh seedha he baithak ki taraf chal diye kyonki ab Chandro Devi ne bhi Bijender ke sath mandir se agle gaanv chale jana tha.
"Bitiya ke fero ke baad he jana Avdhesh, aise apshakun hota hai.", Thodi he der baad jaane ki ijajat mangne par ye baat Chandro Devi ne kahi thi Avdhesh Mishra ko aur ab wo aaya apni marji se tha lekin jana Chandro Devi ke hisab se padna tha.
