Update 29 The next Day
Jab Abhi naha kar wapas apne kamre mein aya to Naina diary haath mein liye Abhi ko dekh rahi thi aur kaha,
“Bhai she is not a virgin? Magar kyun ussne detail nahin bataayi aap ko?”
Ab aaguey….
Abhi ne Naina ki baat sunkar realise kiya ke ussko wo part nahin likhna chahiye tha, likhte waqt wo bhool hi gaya tha ke Naina wo sab padhne wali hai. To wo jaldi se naina ke paas jaate hue ussko phuslaate hue pehle to yeh kaha ke uss baare mein maa ko bilkool bhi nahin batana hai. Wo ek secret ki tarah sab se ghar mein chhupana hai. Naina maan gayi ke apni maa se wo baat nahin bataegi, magar phir bhi pucha ke detail kyun nahin bataayi Ruhi ne.
To Abhi ne naina ko yeh kehte hue samjhaya,
“Naina, ab tumhi batao kia iss baat ko aur ziada puch kar ussko pareshaan karta kia? Kia yeh thik hota ke aise nazuk baat ko main uss mauke par uss se aur ziada puch sakta tha, phir bhi main ne pucha to tha nah ke kiss ne kiya kaise hua, kaun tha wo…. Yehi sab puchne ke liye main ne 100 bar socha pehle, ussne batana shuru kiya phir ruk gayi yeh kehte hue ke wo uss baare mein baat nahin karna chahti. Ab tumhi socho Naina, agar usske saath koyi durghatna type kuch hua hoga to kia agar usske baare mein baat karti to wo unn dinon ko wapas nahin jeeti? Ussko aur dukh nahin hota? Hota nah? To main nahin dukh pahuchana chahta tha ussko issi liye main ne aur nahin pucha!”
Naina ne phir bhi kaha,
“bhai magar ussko aap ko batana chahiye tha nah?”
Abhi ne Naina se kaha.
“Nainu, maan lo ke tum Ruhi ho aur tumhare saath kuch weisa hua ho to kia tumko achcha lagega agar uss baare mein koyi tumse sawaal kare aur tumko sab kuch detail mein bataane ke liye kahe? Tumko acha lagega uss baare mein phir se sab kuch detail mein bataane ko? Bolo? Are filmon mein nahin dekha ke court mein kissi ladki ko kiss tarah se blame kiya jata hai agar kissi mard ne usske saath rape kiya ho ya zabardasti kiya ho to uss ladki se kiss tarah ke sawaal kiya jata hai aur ussko sab bataane mein kitni sharmindagi mehsoos hoti hai? To socho Ruhi ko kaisa feel hoga wo sab bataane mein?! Main ne yeh sab socha iss liye aur kuch pucha hi nahin….. Agar kabhi Ruhi ko batana hai to bataegi, magar main kabhi bhi iss baat ko nahin cherunga, Main uss se pyar karta hoon usski virginity se nahin, mere liye usska koyi importance hi nahin hai!”
Naina ne apne bhai ke baaton ko sunkar ussko zor se gale lagaya aur kaha,
“Mujhko mere bhai par garv hai. God bless you bhai!”
To iss baare mein phir kabhi Naina aur Abhi mein baat nahin hui. Aur naina ne kissi ko bhi ghar mein iss baare mein bataya hi nahin. Yeh baat sirf bhai aur behen ke beech hi rahi.
Magar uss shaam ko Naina ne Abhi ko bahot chedda yeh puchte aur anumaan lagaate hue ke kal raat Ruhi ke saath kia kia kiya ussne, ke ek full raat guzara ussne Ruhi ke saath to kitni haseen raat hui hogi donon ke….
Ab uss raat ko diary mein Abhi ne ab apne feelings ko likha aur ussko uss waqt kia feel ho raha tha, Ruhi ko kitna chahta hai aur miss kar raha hai wo sab likha uss ne. Abhi ne yeh bhi likha….
“I am waiting for that day when Ruhi will be here on this bed together with me and I will make her read all this. She will then read and know what I was going through the days I worked in her yard. Those were the most beautiful days of my life which I will never forget. I met love, I met the one I was waiting for, I met my soul mate in that yard. And I am grateful to God and my job. If I was not doing this job I would never have gone there, would have never known her, would have never met her….”
*************************************************************************
Subha 6 baje Abhi wahan pahunch gaya tha aur Ruhi uss se pehle tayyar Abhi ka wait kar rahi thi apne kamre ki khidki par tek lagaaye, Main rod par nazrein bichaaye ke kaun si bus se Abhi ayega. Har bus jo guzarti Ruhi kehti ‘ab aega, ab aya hoga, iss bus mein to zaroor aega….’ Aur jab Abhi ko dekha main road se usski aangan mein daakhil hote hue Ruhi ki aankhen bhar aayi…. Badi emotional thi wo bhi, chhoti chhoti baton mein usski aankh bhar aati thi, jaise asaani se aankhen chalak jaati thi usski, ab kia sochte hue usski aankhe iss waqt Abhi ko dekh kar chalki thi yeh wohi jaane.
Abhi ki nazrein bhi aangan mein daakhil hote hue sabse pehle usski khidki par hi pade the aur donon ke nazrein chaar hue, Abhi Khushi se muskuraya kyunke wo raaste bhar Ruhi ko sochte hue hi safar kiya tha, ussi ko dil o dimaagh mein basaaye hue ata tha har subha. To Ruhi bhi ussi ko dekhti rahi aur Abhi seedha uss khidki tak gaya, aur ooncha hone se ussko bilkool takliff nahi hui apne gaal ko Ruhi ke honth ke paas karne ko, jiss par Ruhi ne bade pyar se puppy diya, aur khidki se hi Ruhi ne apne donon baazu ko Abhi ke gale mein daal diya aur Abhi ne bhi Ruhi ko pakar liya jiss se Ruhi ka aadha jism khidki ke baahar agaya tha, aur donon zoron se hanssne lage….. Ruhi ko Abhi ne finally kamre ke baahar nikal diya uss khidki se, nange payr Ruhi ab baahar thi aur donon ke hanssi nahin ruk rahe the to andar se Ruhi ki maa ne jab donon ko hansste suna to dekhne aayi, aur wo Ruhi ki kamre mein aayi to dekha ke Ruhi baahar hai Abhi ko thaam kar zoron se donon hanss rahe the…..
Ab maa khidki se tek lagaya aur donon ko dekhte hue samajhne ki koshish kar rahi thi ke kia hua, to Ruhi apni maa ko dekh kar aur bhi zoron se hanssne lagi, maa ne pucha ke hua kia kyun paagalon ki tarah hanss rahi hai,to Ruhi ne kaha;
“ma meri chapal do nah, main nange peyr hoon!!”
To maa ne wapas kamre mein dekha ke Ruhi ki slippers andar hai to ab ussne realise kiya aur hansste hue pucha,
“kia tum khidki se baahar gayi? Kaise?!!”
Ruhi ziada zorr se hansste hue apne ungli ko Abhi ke taraf karte hue kaha,
“mujhko Abhi ne nikala hihihihihihihihihi!”
Abhi ki hanssi bhi nahin ruk raha tha, to Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,
“yeh chorron wali kaam hoti hai khidki se andar ana ya baahar jaana Abhi kia tum meri beti ko bhaga ke lejaane ko to nahin plan kiya hai?!”
Iss par Abhi bhi ziada hanssne laga phir kaha,
“Agar aap ne isska haath mujhe nahin sompa to yehi karna hoga mujhe, issi khidki se uda le jaunga Ruhi ko ek din!!”
Ruhi ki maa ne usski slippers diya Ruhi ko aur Ruhi ne tab ussko pehna aur Abhi ka haath pakar ke ghar ke piche legayi apni romance karne wale kone mein kuch pyar ke lamhe guzaarne ke liye Abhi ke saath…..
Uss daruan chipka chipki mein Ruhi ka haath Abhi ke pant ke pocket par pada jahan ussko laga ke cigarette ka packet tha, usske jeb mein haath dala Ruhi ne to nikla ek notebook. Abhi ke paas hamesha ek chota sa notebook hua karta tha, laal rang ka, aur pen to beshak hamesha Abhi ke kamiz ke buttonhole mein hua karta tha, jo aksar Ruhi ke baal mein fanss jaya karta tha. Pen Parker tha Abhi ke paas jiska refil wo change karta tha ink end hone ke baad. Silver colour ka parker pen hua karta tha Abhi ka.
Uss din Ruhi ne Abhi ka wo notebook liya aur kaha,
“Main ne aap ke letter ka jawaab nahin diya tha nah? To yeh notebook mere saath rehne do aaj iss mein main kuch likhungi aap ke liye, shaam ko jaate waqt le lena wapas, aur apna Parker pen bhi dijiye, issi se likhungi, aise menhge pen se kabhi likha hi nahin main ne life mein.”
Abhi ne de diya apne notebook aur pen donon Ruhi ko.
Din mein jab Abhi kaam mein laga hua tha to dekha ke achaanak Ruhi ki maa bahot tez kadmon se aangan se guzarte hue main road ke taraf jaa rahi thi… Abhi ko kuch samajh mein nahin aya ke kia hua, lagta tha kuch hua tha, phir ek pal baad Ruhi bhi usske piche gayi, Abhi bus ke andar tha aur kuch pucha nahin magar Ruhi ko nazron se follow kiya, to dekha ke road ko cross kiya maa beti donon ne, road cross karne ke baad to filling station hota tha aur donon ussi taraf gaye…..
Abhi bus se nikla aur dada ji se puchne gaya ke kia hua kahan gaye donon dhadpadaate hue?
Dada ji ne bataya ke Ruhi ke papa ne phone kiya hai Saudi Arabia se, ussi se baat karne gaye hein donon. To Abhi ne pucha to ghar mein idhar donon ko kaise pata chala ke wahan phone aya hua hai? Tab dada ji ne kaha ke filling se koyi aya tha bulaane ko.
Aur lunch time mein jab Abhi Ruhi se mila to pucha kia kaha usske pita ne to Ruhi ne kaha ke do hafte baad wo wapas arahe hein. Ruhi khush thi, usski maa bhi. Wo teen saal se S.Arabia mein tha. Abhi ne Ruhi se usske papa ke baare mein sawaal kiya ke wo kaisa aadmi hai, strict hai, severe hai, bold hai ya kaisa hai. To Ruhi ne kaha,
“mera papa CREAM hai. Bilkool makhan. 100% naram mizaj ka insaan hai, bilkool cool, thanda dimagh wala, jisko ghussa karna hi nahin ata kabhi.”
Abhi khush hua aur kaha,
“Tab to ussko hamare baare mein pata chala to ussko eitraz bilkool bhi nahin hoga?!”
Ruhi ne Khushi se kaha,
“bilkool bhi nahin, main ne haan kaha to wo kabhi ek word bhi nahin bolega, jiss mein meri Khushi ussi mein usski.”
Abhi: “great then, I am lucky!”
Ruhi: “haan iss maamle mein aap bilkool lucky hi ho, you will love my papa very much I am sure!”
Abhi: “And he? Will he love me, and love me as a son-in-law?”
Ruhi: “Of course he will. My elder sister’s husband that is by bro in law is always loved and cherished my all at home, so will be you, rather you will be more special because you are younger, and very handsome, you are a hero and my dad will get a hero as a son in law so no doubt he will be happy and love you”
Abhi ne Ruhi ho apne baahon mein bhadte hue kaha,
“Tum mujhe chadha rahi ho nah? jo main tumko dikhta hoon, zaroori nahin ke tumhare papa ko bhi wohi dikhun, could be he will not like me at all!”
Ruhi: “okay jab wo aaye to khud hi dekh lena main kuch nahin kehne wali ab!”
Abhi: “hope ke hamaare yahan ke kaam end hone se pehle wo ajaaye.”
Ruhi: Aap ne kaha that 24th December ko end ho raha hai nah kaam? Aaj 8th hai, papa 19th ko arahe hein, so you will still be here!”
Abhi: “Great I will get 5 days to know him, wo bus ke paas zaroor aega, hum kia kaam kar rahe hein dekhne to aega, to main uss se bat karunga.”
***********************************************************************
Shaam ko kaam khatam karne ke baad Abhi jab washroom gaya to Ruhi nazar nahin arahi thi. Balke pehle ek ghante se nazar nahin aayi thi aur Abhi ko bilkool achcha nahin lag rahaa tha, ussne seeti bhi bajayi uss gaane ki phir bhi Ruhi nahin dikhi aur na hi usski maa nazar arahi thi aur Mehboob Saeed se baat kar raha tha thik bus ke saamne. Abhi ko darr tha ke kahin ussko bina Ruhi ko dekhe hi ghar wapas nah jaana par jaaye aaj.
Aur jab bus ko pass kiya Abhi ne aur Ruhi ke khidki ke taraf dekha, to Ruhi nazar aayi usska intezaar karte hue pata nahin kabse… Ruhi ussko kuch kehne jaa rahi thi magar Abhi ne uss se pehle apna notebook mang liya…… yeh chauthi baar hua tha ke Ruhi kuch kehne jaa rahi thi magar nahin kaha tha, yeh ghar jaakar Abhi ne note kiya tha diary mein ke 4 baar Ruhi ne kuch kehna chaha tha magar nahin keh paayi thi, aur diary mein exact din aur waqt likha hua tha.
To Ruhi gayi notebook aur Abhi ki pen laane tab tak Abhi Saeed se baat karne laga, magar saeed jaane laga to Mehboob ne Abhi se pucha ke ab wo kia wait kar raha hai, to Abhi ne kaha ke Ruhi ek book dene wala hai usse.
Phir Mehboob chala gaya aur Abhi wapas gaya khidki ke paas aur Ruhi ki maa kitchen ke chaukath se Abhi ko jaate hue dekh rahi thi muskuraate hue, to jab Abhi Ruhi se mila khidki ke paas to uss se kaha ke usski maa dekh rahi thi ussko iss taraf aate hue, to Ruhi ne kaha,
“dekhne do kia buraayi hai?!”
Apna pen aur notebook lene ke baad Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,
“ab jao kitchen ke stairs par please!”
Ruhi ne natkhati adaa mein hansste hue pucha,
“kyun?! Wahan kyun jaun main?!”
Abhi: “ofo tumko achi tarah se pata hai ke main ghar wapas jaate hue tumko dekhna passand karta hoon nah jao nah please….”
Aur abhi ne ussko bye kiya aur main road ke taraf badhne laga mudh kar dekhte hue ke Ruhi kitchen ke paas gayi ya nahin… aur main road reach hone se pehle dekha ke Ruhi ne usski baat maani aur aayi thi kitchen ke stair par aur Abhi ko dekhte hue muskuraa rahi thi….. yeh chhoti choti chizein Abhi ke liye bahot important tha, sirf Ruhi wahan nahin aati to Abhi ki shaam aur raat bahot bura guzarne wala tha.
Bus mein jaate waqt Abhi ne apne notebook check kiya to uss mein buss seikron love thoughts aur proverbs likha hua tha Ruhi ne…. muskuraat hue Abhi sab padhta gaya baar baar. Yeh pehli baar thi ke Ruhi ki handwriting mila tha Abhi ko wo bhi apne personal notebook mein, jissko Abhi umar bhar rakhne wala tha.
