Update 34 Monday Continued….
Soch raha tha kal shayad aakhri din hoga Ruhi ke aangan mein aur ussko pata tha ke kal Ruhi ke pita aane wala tha, to ussko dikh gaya ke kal ka din aur bura hoga kyunke ruhi apne pita ke wapas aane ki khushi mein ussko aur bhi ziada ignore karegi…. Phir bhi abhi ne soch liya tha ke apne taraf se jo ussko karna hai wo kar ke rahega, ruhi ke pita se baat zaroor karga yeh tey tha abhi ke taraf se….Ab aaguey
Subha ko Ruhi kitchen ke paas nazar aayi. Abhi usski maa se baat karne gaya. Magar bina kuch kahe hi usski maa ne Abhi se kaha,
“nahin nahin kuch nahin ho sakta hai!”
Abhi heyrani se ussko dekhte hue kaha,
“kyun? Kia nahin ho sakta? Kia keh rahi ho aap?”
Ruhi wahin khadi sun rahi thi bina Abhi ke taraf dekhe…
Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,
“mujhe pata hai tum Ruhi ke liye aaye ho nah? wo nahin maan rahi hai hum kia kar sakte hein ab?!”
Abhi ka munh sukh gaya, ussko jaise paani pine ki zaroorat mehsoos hui, aur kaha,
“What? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Main nahin manta….”
Phir Abhi Ruhi ke taraf dekhte hue usski maa se kaha,
“Magar wo khud kyun nahin keh rahi hai mujhe? Kyun khamosh hai agar aisi baat hai to?!”
Tab Ruhi ki mummy ne hansste hue jaise Abhi ko encourage karte hue kaha,
“Magar kuch bhi ho humko tumhare parents se to milna hoga nah Abhi?!”
Jab usski maa ne yeh kaha to Ruhi ne muskuraate hue Abhi ko dekha….
Magar Abhi bahot serious tha aur Ruhi ko gambhirta ke saath dekha. Aur usski mummy ko jawaab diya,
“haan beshak donon taraf ke parents ko milna hoga.”
Tab Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha,
“Haan to isske pita ko aajane do aaj arahe hein wo tab dekha jaega”
Ab inn baton se Abhi ka hausla to badhega hi nah?
Phir Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha ke jo kaam wo karta hai wo kuch dhang ka nahin hai.
Abhi ne Sunil ko socha aur usske saath jo hua tha usske baare mein socha Abhi ne.
Abhi ne pucha,
“kyun yeh kaam dhang ka nahin hai?”
Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,
“Meri maa jahan rehti hai wahan kayi aise log hein jo bekaar rehte hein kyunke weh log car repair karte hein aur unnko kabhi kaam milta hi nahin…. Kia hoga agar tumhare paas regular basis par kaam nahin hoga? Tumko pata hai Ruhi mujhe meri jaan se bhi pyari hai main usske liye bahot fikar karti hoon, main apni badi beti se itni attached nahin thi, magar meri Ruhi…. ”
Abhi ne jawaab diya,
“Car ke body repair karna aur mera kaam do bilkool alag baat hai, car ki tin repair karne wale ko panel beater kehte hein bus ki body ko banane wale ko Coach builder kehte hein do bilkool hi alag kaam hote hein, hum wo gas wala welding bilkool istemaal nahin karte, hum aluminium se kaam karte hein uss tin se nahin jo car repair karne wale istemaal karte hein….”
Tab Abhi ne socha ke unn logon ko pata hi nahin ke bus ki coach building kia hota hai…. Weh log car ki tin repair karne wala samajh rahe the Abhi ko! Magar Abhi ko wo karna bilkool bhi nahin ata tha wo ekdum se alag kaam tha…. Aur Abhi samajhne laga ke usski Naukri ki vajah se Ruhi ke nani ke yahan baat chali hogi issi liye nani walon ne, mamou, mami, maasi, sabne Ruhi ki maa aur Ruhi ko mana kiya hoga iss rishte ko aaguey badhaane ke liye, Ruhi ko unn logon ne discourage kiya hoga, issi liye uss din se Ruhi weise behave karne lagi thi aur doorie rakhne lagi thi Abhi se….. aisa Abhi soch raha tha….
Abhi soch raha tha ab Ruhi ke pita ke aane ke baad, Ruhi ko usske maa baap ke saamne bitha kar apne kaam ke baare mein sab samjhega, tab apna proposal rakhega. Weh log shayad soch rahe the ke jo kaam Abhi kar raha hai uss se Abhi unke beti ko khush nahin rakh paega, unnke beti ko saari suvidhaayein nahin de paega Abhi. Yehi soch the shayad Ruhi ki maa ki. Aur Abhi Sunil ki kahi hui baat ko sochne laga ke usske saath bhi yehi kiya tha inn logon ne!
Abhi ne phir Ruhi ki maa se kaha,
“Aap zara sochiye main kaise Ruhi ko takliff de sakta hoon? Aap ke khayal se jiss se main itna pyar karta hoon ussko kissi kissam ki taklif hone dunga? Agar khuda nah khaasta mere paas yeh kaam nahin raha to aap kia samajhti ho Ruhi ke liye main kuch aur nahin karunga? Aisa to ho hi nahin sakta… aap fikar nah karein nah!”
To Ruhi ki maa hanssne lagi aur kaha,
“Thik hai phir usske pita ko aajane do. Dhiraj rakho, aaj wo aane wala hai shaam ko.”
Abhi ko lag raha tha ke sab thik ho jaega, kal jo khat likhe tha Ruhi ko Abhi ne uss mein Ruhi ko sab kuch samjha diya tha ke ussko apne pita se keh dena chahiye ke wo bhi Abhi se pyar karti hai, tab Abhi ko asaani hogi apne taraf se baat karne ko….
Ab Abhi Ruhi se baat karna chahta tha iss baare mein iss se pehle ke usska baap wapas aaye. Abhi sab kuch araam se Ruhi ko samjhana chahta tha taake Ruhi bhi samjhe. To Abhi ne Ruhi ki maa se kaha ke wo Ruhi se ussko kuch der baat karne dein, Ruhi ko bulaane ko kaha. Ruhi ki maa ne Ruhi ko bulaya. Khidki ke paas, usski maa thi aur andar se Ruhi aayi…..
Aur aaj itne dinon mein pehli baar Abhi ne Ruhi ko usse ek ajeeb nazron se dekhte hue dekha, jaise ussko koyi interest nahin thi Abhi se baat karne ke liye, Ruhi ne frown karte hue Abhi ke taraf dekhte hue kaha,
“kia hai? Ab kia kehna hai aap ko aur?!”
Ruhi ki uss tarah se baat karne se Abhi ko mann kiya ke turant wahan se wapas nikal jaaye, ussko laga ke bekaar mein baat karega….. Abhi ko wapas apne ghar turant chale jaane ka mann kiya…. Ussko jaise Ruhi ki nazron mein usske liye NAFRAT dikha…. Magar aisa bhi kia ho gaya ke nafrat dikh gayi Abhi ko Ruhi ki nazron mein…. Abhi samajh nahin paa raha tha ke ab Ruhi se kaise baat kare aur kia kahe ussko jiss tarah se wo Abhi ko dekh rahi thi jaise Abhi ussko disturb kar raha tha ussko bula kar.
Jiss chehre par itne dinon se Abhi ne sirf pyar dekha tha, jiss Ruhi ke chehre par hamesha ek pyari si Muskaan hua karti thi, jiss mein Abhi ne sirf aur sirf pyar dekha tha apne liye aaj uss chehre mein ek karwahat dekha Abhi ne. Abhi Ruhi ko itna chahta tha ke usski ek ek rag se wakif tha, usski har ek adaa, usski har ek chehre ki badlaav ko pehchaanta tha magar jo aaj Abhi ne dekha tha Ruhi ke chehre par wo Abhi ne kabhi nahin dekha tha itne dinon mein, aur Abhi ko wo bilkool bhi passand nahin tha. Uss Ruhi ki roop ko describe karna mushkil hai aur usska Abhi par jo assar hua wo bhi bayan karna mushkil hai…. Phir bhi Abhi baat karna chahta tha to himmat karke kiya baat ussne. Kyunke donon English mein baat karte the hamesha to Abhi ne English mein sabse pehle kaha,
“Why are you giving such a look? Why you are so serious, not a single smile on the face? Did I disturb you by calling you here?”
Ruhi ke munh mein jo ata tha wohi bak deti thi, ussne Abhi ko jawaab mein buss itna kaha,
“I must be serious in life that’s why!”
Yeh bhi koyi jawaab tha? Abhi udaas tha, pareshaan tha wo usske chehre par saaf dikhaayi de raha tha, aur Ruhi ko bhi pata tha; Abhi ne apne sayyam rakhte hue kaha,
“Look Ruhi, I am suffering… yes I am suffering and it’s because of you my dear…”
Ruhi ne kaha,
“Do you think I AM NOT SUFFERING?!”
To Abhi ne kaha,
“Then talk to you father, We can be successful Ruhi, from my part I will do all to convince him, but if you do not play your role I won’t be able to do it alone isn’t it?!”
Ruhi ne kaha,
“I can’t. My life IS NOT MINE”
Abhi ko ghussa aane laga tha usski behuda jawaab se. Kia bakwaas jawaab de rahi thi!
Agar wo bhi suffer kar rahi thi to kia solution tha suffering ko end karne ki, wo tha donon ka milan….
Tab tak Mehboob tea serve kar raha tha, aur Mehboob ne Abhi ke taraf aakar tray ko ussko dikhaate hue kaha,
“Hey Abhi!”
Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,
“jao apna chai lelo Abhi.”
Abhi ne kaha,
“wait.”
To Ruhi ne fikarmand dikhte hue kaha,
“Oh my god wo hum logon ko hi dekh raha hai aap jao nah!”
Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,
“magar ussko sab pata hai nah yaar!”
Tab Ruhi ne kaha
“nahin ussi ne hmm hmm hmm hmmm” yeh kehte hue Ruhi muskuraayi
To Abhi ne pucha,
“kia hmm hmm hmm? HE WILL NOT ACCEPT?”
Ruhi: “NO.”
Abhi: “okay meet me at lunch time.”
Tab Ruhi aur usski mummy donon ne kaha
“nahin nahin bilkool nahin”
Abhi ne zid kiya, zor diya ke lunch time mein Ruhi uss se mile. Magar Ruhi ne kaha,
“BE PATIENT”
Aur usski maa ne repeat kiya,
“BE PATIENT”
Abhi ne kaha,
“That’s what I am doing!”
Phir Abhi ne aur kaha,
“Dekho Ruhi ho sakta hai aaj yahan mera aakhri din hai kaam karne ka…. Aur agar kaam pura nahin hua shaam tak to kal aakhri din hoga, mujhe tumse bahot zaroori baat karni hai”
Ruhi ne bus ek halki si mukurahat se Abhi ko dekha aur ab chehre mein thoda sa badlaav aur narmi dikhayai diya Abhi ko, aur Abhi wahan se wapas bus mein chala gaya.
Koyi ek ghante baad Ruhi ki maa phir baat kar rahi thi Abhi ke saath. Ussne Abhi se kaha,
“Aur yahan par kissi ne yeh bhi kaha ke tum sirf yahan har roz kaam karne aate ho varna har jagah kaam se bahot absent rehte ho, har roz kaam nahin karte ho, samajh rahe ho nah wo lazy type log jaise….”
Abhi ko zabardast jhatka laga wo baat sunke aur pucha ke kiss ne ussko wo baat bataya, kia Mehboob ne wo sab kaha uss se? To Ruhi ki maa ne kaha ke nahin Mehboob ne nahin. To Abhi ke kaha to phir Reza ne kaha hoga kyunke wo shuru se hi mujhse jalta hai, ussko nahin passand ke main Ruhi se pyar kar raha hoon wo pata nahin kyun hamesha mere piche pada hota hai… mere aur Ruhi ke beech ek deewar ki tarah bana rehta hai…”
Abhi ne Ruhi ki maa se kaha ke jo kuch bhi ussko bataya gaya sab sarasar JHOOT hai.
Jabse Abhi ne 12th chorra tab se aaj tak lagatar kaam karte aaya hai, kahbi yahan kabhi wahan kabhi yeh kaam kabhi wo kaam, kisaan ka beta mazdoori bhi kiya, ganne ke khet mein bhi kaam kiya, yeh kabhi nahin kaha ke padha likha hai to koyi office mein ya koyi bhi white collar job karega magar jo mila jaise mila kaam karta gaya aur yahan kissi lalloo ne keh diya ke Abhi kaam nahin karta dhang se! kamaal hai Abhi sar hillate hue khud hanssne laga….
Kuch der bad Abhi ne Ruhi ko kitchen wale stair par khadi dekha, to usske toda paas jaakar, 1 metre ki distance se kaha,
“Tumhara photo kab dogi mujhko? Mujhe chahiye at least 1 photo of yours please, ziada mile to behtar hoga.”
Badle mein Ruhi ne jawaab to nahin diya magar apne donon haahon ko ek camera ki tarah kar ke Abhi ke taraf kiya aur jaise ek click kiya Abhi ki photo ko aur hanssne lagi. (aaj ke din hote to mobile se kitne saare photos Abhi ne le liya hota Ruhi ki?!”)
Aur tabhi kissi ne Ruhi ko bulaya baahar Main road ke taraf, shayad Ruhi ke papa ka phone aya tha udhar. Aaj usska papa wapas aane wala tha… to jab Ruhi gayi call lene to Abhi ke paas se guzar kar gayi, aur jab wapas aane lagi to Abhi ne ussko rukne ko kaha magar Ruhi ne uss hisse ko daud kar tey kiya jahan Abhi tha wahan se usski kitchen tak taake Abhi ussko nahin roke, aur jab Ruhi daudte hue apni kitchen ke stairs par reach hui to palat kar Abhi ko dekha apne munh mein apne jeeb se apne gaal ko fullaate hue ek muskurahat ke saath….
Aur phir kuch der baad Ruhi apni cousin ke ghar gayi aur wapas aate waqt Abhi ne uss se kaha,
“Ruhi, ruko nah sunon to please…”
Ruhi ne kuch darrte hue expression mein Abhi ko dekhte hue kaha,
“Mujhse aise baat mat kijiye aap”
Aur wo bhaag kar chali gayi apni kitchen mein.
Aur ek baar Ruhi ne Abhi se kaha,
“Aap ab mujhe bhool jao!”
Aur Abhi ne replay kiya,
“THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE”
Aur tab Ruhi hanssi thi.
Ek baar phir phone call aya aur Ruhi phir gayi, aur jab wapas aa rahi thi to Abhi ne phir ussko rukne ke liye kaha, aur iss baar Ruhi ne jhoot mooth ke jhuk kar ek paper ka tukda uthaane ka bahana karte hue ruki aur Abhi se kaha,
“kia hai?”
Abhi usske karib hua aur kaha,
“Uss din jab tumne ne kaha tha ke tum virgin nahin ho, to main ne kaha tha ke tum mujhko itna pyar karogi ke wo tumhara pyar saare beech ke issues khatam kar dega, virginity ya kuch bhi ho beech mein sab mit jaega tum mujhko itna pyar karogi, aur tumne haan kaha tha Ruhi yaad bhi hai ke nahin?”
Abhi ne yeh sab kaha Ruhi ko apne kahi hui baat ko yaad dilaane ke liye, ussko yaad dilaane ke liye ke ussne kaha tha ke wo Abhi ko bahot pyar karegi…. Abhi ne Ruhi ko usska pyar yaad karaya, to Abhi yeh umeed kar raha tha ke Ruhi sharminda hogi ya apni kahi hui baat ko yaad karegi magar jo jawaab diya Ruhi ne usski zaroorat hi nahin thi, wo baat hi nahin ho rahi thi…. Ruhi ne kaha,
“Well I am not a virgin that does not mean anything to you?”
Abhi ne gambhirta se Ruhi ke aankhon mein dekhte hue reply kiya,
“No that makes no difference to me because I LOVE YOU DAMN IT, do you understand? I am suffering damn it!! Do you have a heart to feel what I am going through, mere andar dard ho raha hai Ruhi, main tadap raha hoon tumko nahin dikh raha kia?”
Abhi ke baton ka jaise Ruhi par koyi assar nahin ho raha tha, wo apne pita ke wapas aane ki Khushi mein gum thi shayad uss waqt. Abhi ne sahi mauka nahin use kiya tha ussko apne dil ki baat kehne ke liye, aur Ruhi ne Abhi se kaha,
“I am no a V, this should have affected you!”
Aur Ruhi ne yeh kaha tab,
“Mujhe ek promise kijiye abhi issi waqt, ke agar hamari shaadi nahin bhi hui to aap kabhi bhi kissi se bhi meri V wali baat nahin bataoge.”
Abhi ne PROMISE kiya turant. Abhi ko uss pal jaise comfirm hua ke Ruhi usski kabhi nahin banegi issi liye Ruhi ne Abhi se wo promise liya. To Abhi ne kaha,
“Agar humko nahin milna hai, agar juda hi ho jana hai to please ek photo dedo mujhe main umar bhar teri tasveer se hi sahi pyar karta rahunga, ek tasver dede please Ruhi”
Ruhi ne nah kaha aur dekha ke Mehboob araha tha to Ruhi bhaagne ki raah dekh rahi thi to last mein Abhi ne pucha,
“Wo V kiss ne kiya tere saath?”
Ruhi ne jaate jaate jawaab mein yeh kaha Abhi ko,
“Nahin, main to kabhi nahin bataungi, magar aap ho sake to khud pata laga lena!”
Aur Ruhi chali gayi.
