Ham dono so rahe the ki tabhi tej bijli kadki aur tej tej hawa chalne lagi. Bijli ke kadakne ki awaaj se ham dono hi hadbada kar uth gaye. Thandi thandi hawa teji se chalne lagi thi. Asmaan me kaale badal chhaye huye the jo bijli ke kadakne se dikh jate the.
"Nakul jaldi se gadde samet kar uthaao aur chalo yaha se warna tej baarish me ham bahut jaldi bhig jayege." Maine jaldi se uthte huye kaha nakul se.
"Haa lagta hai tej baarish hone wali hai. Tum kamre ki taraf jaao main gaddo ko le ke aata hu." Nakul ne kaha aur uth kar dono gaddo ko sametne laga. Uske kahne par main upar hi bane kamro ki taraf teji se bhaag chali thi.
Abhi main kamre ke paas pahuchi hi thi ki tej hawa ke sath tej baarish ki boode padne lagi. Maine pichhe mud ke dekha to nakul gaddo ko uthaye bhaagta hua najar aaya aur kuch hi palo me wo mere paas aa gaya. Hamare dekhte hi dekhte baarish kafi tej hone lagi. Ham dono kamro ke paas hi gallery me khade the. Jitni tej baarish ho rahi thi utni hi hawa aur asmaan me bijli bhi chamak rahi thi.
"Ab kya ham yahi par khade rahege." Maine nakul se kaha.
"Kamre me to bed hai par waha par hamne dhool fer di hai. Is liye hame pahle bed par padi dhool ko saaf karna hoga." Nakul ne kaha.
Tabhi pichhe se aunty ji ki awaaj aai to ham dono ne piche mud ke unki taraf dekha. Wo andar wali seedhiyo ki taraf se aa rahi thi. Shayad unhe yaad aaya hoga ki ham dono chhat par khule asmaan ke niche pade huye the to baarish ki vajah se bhig na jaye kahi is liye wo hamare paas aai thi.
"Tum dono yaha khade kyo ho beta. Jaao kamre me so jaao. Mujhe yaad aaya ki tum dono khule chhat par soye huye ho to baarish me bhig na jaao." Aunty ji ne kaha.
"Wo ham dono abhi do minute pahle hi yaha par aaye hain. Bas kamre me jane ka soch hi rahe the ki aap aa gai." Nakul ne kaha.
"Chalo achhi baat hai. Tum dono kamre me hi so jao. Lekin waha to dhool hogi na." Aunty ji ko jaise yaad aaya.
"Koi baat nahi aunty ji ham saaf kar lege. Aapne bekaar me hi yaha aane ka kast kiya." Nakul ne kaha.
"Isme kast ki kya baat hai beta. Tum dono hamare bachche hi ho is liye baarish hone se fikar hone lagi thi to dekhne chali aai. Achha ab tum dono kamre me jaao aur araam se so jaao. Main bhi ja rahi hu." Aunty ji ne kaha to ham dono ne haa kaha. Uske baad aunty ji niche chali gai aur ham dono us kamre ki taraf badhe jisme ham rah rahe the.
Kamre me aa kar ham dono ne bed par padi dhool ko achhe se saaf kiya aur fir usme let gaye. Kamre me ek khidki thi jo pichli diwaar ki taraf thi. Khidki khuli hui thi is liye baarish ki halki fuhaare aur hawa kamre me aa rahi thi. Mausam thoda thanda ho gaya tha to hamne us khidki ko andar se band kar diya.
"Ye baarish kahi hamare liye problem na khadi kar de." Meri taraf karwat liye nakul ne kaha.
"Kaisi problem." Maine pucha.
"Aaj maine jo gaddha khoda tha usme is baarish se paani bhar jayega. Ab agar kal wo police wala yaha talashi lene aaya to ham us gaddhe me kaise chhupege." Nakul ne kaha.
"Oh haa sach much is baarish se problem ho jayegi. Ab ham kya karege nakul." Maine chinta jaahir karte huye kaha.
"Waise gaddhe ko upar se ply aur bhangaar ke samaan se dhak diya tha maine aur uncle ji ne. To shayad gaddhe ke andar paani na jaye. Lekin agar ye baarish isi tarah hoti rahegi to kinaaro se bah kar aane wala paani usme jarur chala jayega." Nakul ne kaha.
"Main to bhagwan se dua karti hu ki ye baarish ruk jaye." Maine man hi man bhagwan se vinti karte huye kaha.
"Waise us gaddhe me hame jyada der tak chhup ke to rahna nahi hai. Is liye jyada samasya nahi hogi. Jab tak wo police wala yaha ki talashi lega tab tak hame us gaddhe me chhup ke rahna hoga. Uske baad jaise hi wo yaha se chala jayega to ham dono us gaddhe se nikal kar baahar aa jayege." Nakul ne kaha.
"Ye bhi sahi kaha tumne. Wo police wala yaha par dharna de kar thodi na baitha rahega. Jab wo har jagah dekh lega aur ham use nahi milege to wo chala hi jayega. Bas ek hi baat ki chinta hai ki baarish jyada na ho. Warna gaddhe me agar jyada paani bhar gaya to ham usme jyada der tak nahi rah payege." Maine kaha.
"Main subah jaldi uth jaauga aur ja kar us gaddhe ka paani nikaal duga." Nakul ne kaha.
"Aur agar wo police wala subah subah hi yaha aa dhamka to fir kya karoge. Tab to tum us gaddhe ka paani nahi nikaal paaoge aur fir hame us paani me hi dubki lagate huye rahna padega." Maine haste huye kaha.
"Fir to maja aayega. Isi bahane ham dono ek sath naha to lege aur us gaddhe ke andar hi ilu ilu karege." Nakul ne muskurate huye kaha.
"Itna jyada mat socho. Hame us gaddhe me chhup ke rahna hai naa ki waha ilu ilu karna hai." Maine man hi man muskurate huye kaha.
"Are to kya hua yaar. Isi bahane ham dono chupke chupke pyar bhi kar lege. Kya pata is tarah ki situation me fir kabhi pyar karna likha bhi hoga ki nahi." Nakul ne kaha.
"Tum bhi na ekdam se buddhu hi ho. Are pyar hi karna hai to kamre me bhi to kar sakte hain ham dono. Iske liye gaddhe ke andar pyar karne ka kya matlab hai." Maine kaha.
"Kamre me to hota hi rahega dear magar gaddhe ke andar pyar karne ka dubara mauka nahi milega. Waha par ek alag hi maja hoga. Jara socho baahar police wale hame khoj rahe hoge aur ham dono jameen ke niche ek gaddhe me chhupe bina kisi dar ke ek dusre se pyar kar rahe hoge. Us pal ki kalpana karo neelam. Mujhe to soch ke hi bada romanch feel ho raha hai." Nakul ne kaha.
"Tum to chhupe rustam nikle. Pahle to kabhi aisi romantic baate nahi karte the aur aaj ye sab soch rahe ho." Maine kaha.
"Chalo chhodo agar tumhe nahi achha lag raha to nahi karege. Balki ham dono us gaddhe me dar ke mare kaapte huye chhupe rahege ab thik hai na." Nakul ne kaha.
"Are maine ye kab kaha ki mujhe achha nahi lag raha." Maine kaha.
"To ye sab kahne ka aur kya matlab hai tumhara." Nakul ne kaha.
"Main to aisa is liye kah rahi thi ki agar hame pyaar karte huye police ne pakad liya to kya hoga. Police wala to hame galat kahega hi upar se uncle aunty ji bhi hamare bare me jane kya kya sochne lagege." Maine kaha.
"Galat to wo tab sochege na jab ham dono waha apne apne kapde utaar kar pyar kar rahe hoge." Nakul ne kaha.
"Hey bhagwan. Tum na bahut bigad gaye ho. Ham waha kapde kyo utarege. Aisa sochna bhi nahi." Maine man hi man haste huye kaha.
"Main to aisa tab bhi nahi sochuga jab hamari suhagraat hogi. Ham dono apne apne kapde pahan kar hi suhagrat manayege." Nakul ne haste huye kaha.
"Pahle shadi to ho hamari. Uske baad main bataaugi ki kya kya pahan ke suhagraat manani hai. Ab agar masti majaak ho gaya ho to so jaao chup chaap. Subah jaldi uth kar tumhe us gaddhe ka paani bhi nikaalna hai." Maine kaha.
"Abhi need nahi aa rahi." Nakul ne dhire se kaha.
"Aa to mujhe bhi nahi rahi lekin agar aankh band kar ke chup chaap leti rahugi to aa hi jayegi. Tum bhi yahi karo." Maine kaha.
"Aise need nahi aayegi." Nakul ne meri taraf thoda aur khisakte huye kaha.
"To fir kaise aayegi need." Maine pucha.
"Mujhe lagta hai ki agar main tumhe apni baaho me bhar luga to jaldi need aa jayegi." Nakul ne kaha.
"Kya kaha." Main uski is baat se chauk padi thi.
"Chalo ham dono jhappi daal lete hain. Fir jaldi need aa jayegi." Nakul ne kaha.
"Tumhare iraade to thik hai na. Dekh rahi hu aaj bada ilu ilu ki baate kar rahe ho." Maine kaha.
"Tum to aise kah rahi ho jaise main koi ajnabi hu. Jaao so jaao tum. Main aise hi thik hu." Nakul ne kaha aur fir usne dusri taraf karwat le liya.
Main samajh gai ki use meri is baat se bura laga hai. Ham dono ek dusre se pyar karte the aur jis tarah ki situation me fase the usme is tarah ke pal aur emotions kam hi aate the. Lekin is wakt nakul ke man me pyar ke ahsaas ubaal maar rahe the. Main janti thi ki wo sirf mujhe apni baaho me bhar ke sona chaahta tha. Uske man me baaki kuch bhi nahi tha. Maine to use bas chheda tha par shayad use bura lag gaya tha aur main apne mahbub ko naraj kaise kar sakti thi.
"Ab kya main tumse majaak bhi nahi kar sakti jaan. Achha sorry agar tumhe mere is majaak se bura laga hai to. Main to bas apni jaan ko chhed rahi thi. Man to mera bhi har wakt karta hai ki main jise ji jaan se chahti hu uski baaho me har wakt samaai rahu. Ab jab tumne baaho me bharne ko kah hi diya hai to mujhse bhi ab raha nahi jayega. Mujhe apni baaho me bhar lo jaan aur agar tumhara bahut dil karta hai ilu ilu karne ka to wo bhi kar lo. Main tumhe bilkul bhi nahi rokugi." Maine ye sab kaha aur nakul ki taraf khisak kar chali gai.
"Ab makkhan mat lagaao. Main ab aise hi souga." Nakul ne bina meri taraf palte kaha to main khisak kar aur uske kareeb aa gai aur fir uske pichhe se chipak gai.
"Par main tumhe aise nahi sone dugi jaan. Mujhe apni baaho me jor se bheech lo." Maine nakul ka kandha pakad kar apni taraf khicha to wo meri taraf palat gaya.
"Rahne do neelam. Ab mera mood nahi hai." Nakul ne aankh band kar ke kaha.
"Mujhe pata hai ki tumhara bahut man kar raha hai. Is liye ye naatak chhodo aur mujhe apni baaho me bharo jaldi." Maine kaha.
"Ajeeb ladki ho yaar. Ye kaisi jabardasti hai bhai. Abhi to tum mana kar rahi thi to ab kya hua." Nakul ne muskurate huye kaha.
"Mujhe pareshan na karo ab." Maine kaha aur khud hi nakul ke seene se ja lagi.
"Aise chipkogi to kahi aisa na ho ki meri niyat bigad jaye." Nakul ne dhire se kaha.
"Bigad jane do. Mujhe tumhari niyat ki koi parwaah nahi hai. Tumhari amanat hu jo ji me aaye karo." Maine kaha aur fir aur jor se nakul ko bheech liya.
"Tum itna jor se mujhe bheech rahi ho to mujhe bahut ajeeb sa mahsus ho raha hai neelam. Mere pure badan me jhanjhanahat si feel ho rahi hai. Kya tumhe bhi aisa hi feel ho raha hai." Nakul ne meri pith par apna ek haath rakh ke apni taraf khichte huye kaha.
"Kuch mat pucho jaan. Main kaisa feel kar rahi hu uske bare me main shabdo se nahi bata sakti. Agar tum samajh sako to meri dhadkano ki raftaar ko feel karo." Maine aankhe band kar ke kaha to nakul ne mujhe aur jor se bhich liya.
"Haa main tumhari dhadkano ki speed ko feel kar raha hu. Wo to train ki speed se bhi jyada hai. Mujhe to apne andar ek garmi si feel hone lagi hai. Pure badan me ek mithi si lahar daud rahi hai." Nakul ne kaha.
"Kuch mat kaho jaan. Bas chup raho aur mujhe aise hi so jane do." Maine kaha.
"To kya ilu ilu nahi karogi." Nakul ne dhire se kaha to main uske seene me jaise sikud si gai. Main uske ilu ilu ka matlab achhe se samajh gai thi aur is vajah se meri dhadkane aur bhi tej ho gai thi.
"Kya hua bataao na dear." Nakul ne fir pucha.
"Tumhe jo karna hai karo. Mujhse kuch mat pucho plz." Maine kaha. Mujhe badi sharam aa rahi thi in baato se.
"Jab tak tum khud apne mukh se nahi kahogi tab tak main kuch nahi karuga. Lekin ek chij abhi chahiye mujhe." Nakul ne kaha to main sochne lagi ki wo kis chij ki baat kah raha hai.
"Kaun si chij." Maine dhire se pucha.
"Apni jaan ke rasile hotho par kiss chahiye." Nakul ne kaha.
"Achha ji." Main uski baat se muskura padi thi.
"Haa tumhare hotho ka mitha ras sharab jaisa hai." Nakul ne kaha.
"To janaab ko sharab pina hai." Maine dhire se haste huye kaha.
"Haa dear. Tumhare hotho ki sharab pi luga to uske nashe me ek hi pal me need aa jayegi." Nakul ne kaha aur fir usne apni baah ko meri pith se nikaal liya. Main samajh gai ki ab wo mere hotho par kiss karne wala hai. Is baat se meri dhadkane fir se tej ho gai.
Kamre me bulb ki roshni thi aur ham dono ek dusre ko achhe se dekh sakte the. Nakul ne mujhe alag kiya aur meri taraf dekhne laga. Hamari najar jaise hi mili to maine sharm se apni najar jhuka li. Is wakt mujhe sach me badi sharam aa rahi thi. Shayad is liye ki is wakt koi aam situation nahi thi aur na hi koi aisi baat thi jo normal ho.
Nakul ne mere chehre ko apne dono hatho se pakda to mere pure badan me ek lahar si daud gai. Mujh me himmat nahi ho rahi thi ki apni najar utha kar nakul ki taraf dekh saku. Nakul ne mere chehre ko upar kiya aur fir mere chehre ko ektak dekhne laga. Uske is tarah dekhne se mujhe aur bhi sharam aane lagi. Mere hoth apne aap hi kaapne lage.
"Ishwar ne mujhse mere maa baap ko chhin liya tha to uska dukh bahut tha mujhe magar badle me usne mujhe tumhe la kar diya to jaise dard se bhari hui jindagi me khushiyo ki bahaar aa gai. Mera yakin karo neelam ki ishwar ab agar tumhare badle duniya bhar ki daulat mujhe de to main use ek pal me thukra du. Ye pareshaniyo ke din ham dono mil ke kaat lege. Uske baad ham apni duniya basayege. Jaha par sirf ham dono hoge." Nakul ne ye kaha to maine najar utha kar uski taraf dekha.
Uski aakho me is wakt pyar hi pyar dikh raha tha. Uski baate meri aatma tak utarti chali gai thi. Mera dil machal utha to maine apne dono hatho me nakul ka chehra liya aur aage badh kar uske hotho par apne hoth rakh diye. Iske pahle main sharma rahi thi magar ab maine khud hi uske hotho par apne hoth rakh diye the.
Ham dono ke hoth mile to ham dono ne ek dusre ko baaho me bhi bhar liya. Ham dono ke andar jajbaat machalne lage the. Kabhi main nakul ke hotho ko muh me bhar leti to kabhi nakul mere hotho ko apne muh me bhar kar chumne lagta. Thodi hi der me ham dono par madhoshi chha gai. Sab kuch bhul kar ham jane kis duniya me pahuch gaye.
Kuch der tak to hotho ka milan hi hota raha magar fir nakul mere pure chehre par chumban karne laga. Chehre par chumte huye wo meri gardan par chumne laga. Jisse main buri tarah machalne lagi. Meri aankhe band thi aur mujhe aisa lag rah tha jaise mujhe kisi chij ka nasha chadhta ja raha hai. Main nakul ke sir ko pakde huye use idhar se udhar khichne lagi thi.
Achanak nakul ne mujhe bed par gira diya aur fir mere upar aa kar fir se mere hotho ko muh me bhar liya. Main khud bhi uska barabar sath diye ja rahi thi. Nakul par to har pal jaise pagalpan chhata ja raha tha. Hotho ko chhod wo fir se mere gale aur gale ke niche chumne laga. Main buri tarah machalte huye uske sir ke baalo ko khiche ja rahi thi ki tabhi mujhe jor ka jhatka laga aur fir jaise mujhe hosh aa gaya.
Pagalpan me nakul ne apne ek hath se meri left chhati ko pakad kar jor se masal diya tha. Main jaise hi hosh me aai to maine jaldi se nakul ke us hath ko pakad liya aur use apni chhati se hatane lagi magar nakul to jaise yaha tha hi nahi. Jab maine dekha ki nakul kahi aur hi hai to maine nakul ke sir ko dono hatho se pakda aur jor de kar upar uthaya aur use hosh me lane ke liye use pukara to uski harkato par break lag gaya.
"Ham had paar kar rahe hain jaan. Beshak main tumhari hu. Tum jo chaahe kar lo magar shadi ke baad tumhe dene ke liye mere paas fir kuch nahi rah jayega. Kya tum yahi chaahte ho." Maine apni saaso ko kaabu karte huye kaha.
"I'm sorry neelam. Pata nahi kya ho gaya tha mujhe. Plz mujhe iske liye maaf kar do." Nakul mere upar se hat kar ek taraf baith gaya. Uske chehre par sharmindagi ubhar aai to maine uth kar use apni baaho me bhar liya.
"Tumhe sharminda hone ki jarurat nahi hai jaan. Sharminda to main hu ki main apne mahbub ko khush nahi rakh pa rahi." Maine kaha.
"Nahi neelam. Plz aisa mat kaho. Khush rakhne ka matlab sirf yahi nahi hai ki tumhe ye sab karna pade. Main to itne se hi khush hu ki meri jindagi me tum ho. Tum iske liye dukhi mat hona. Mujhe pata hai ki har chij ka ek wakt hota hai jo apne wakt me hi achha lagta hai. Waise galti meri nahi hai. Tumhare hotho ke ras ka nasha hi aisa tha ki mujhe kisi baat ka hosh hi nahi rah gaya tha." Nakul ne kaha.
"Agar aisa hai to ab se tumhe apne hotho ki taraf dekhne bhi nahi dugi. Ab sab kuch shadi ke baad hi karne dugi." Maine muskurate huye kaha.
"Ye to mujh par julm hoga yaar. Shadi ke pahle ek yahi bas to mil raha hai to kam se kam itne se to vanchit na karo." Nakul ne kaha.
"Wo sab baad me sochugi. Ab hame so jana chahiye. Subah jaldi uthna hai. Ye mat bhulo ki aaj kal kaise halaat hain hamare." Maine bed par lette huye kaha.
"Thik hai chalo ab so jate hain. Good night my love." Nakul ne teji se mere hotho ko chum liya aur fir ye bola tha.
"Abhi man nahi bhara tha kya. Chalo so jaao ab. Good night." Maine muskura ke kaha aur aankhe band kar li.
Ham dono thodi der me so gaye. Subah sabse pahle meri hi aankh khuli to maine dekha nakul abhi bhi gahri need me tha. Jaruri na hota to main use na jagati magar aaj kal situation kharab thi is liye maine use jaga kar utha diya. Nakul ko uthane ke baad main fresh hone upar ke hi bathroom me chali gai. Jab main wapas aai to nakul bhi fresh hone chala gaya. Main kamre se baahar aa kar chhat ki taraf gai to dekha subah ho gai thi magar asmaan me abhi bhi baadal chhaye huye the. Chhat baarish ke paani se abhi bhi gila tha. Maine socha baarish ho jane se ab chhat par dhool ferne ki jarurat nahi padegi magar kamre ke bed par aur bathroom par waise hi dhool fer dena padega. Waise mujhe lagta nahi tha ki baarish hone se wo police wala yaha aayega. Fir bhi hame apni taraf se to taiyar hi rahna tha.
Chhat ka haal dekh kar main wapas kamre me aai to dekha nakul hath me plastic ki baalti liye bed par dhool fer raha tha. Baalti me jo dhool bhari hui thi use hamne mitthi ko pees kar aur fir use chhaan kar banaya tha taaki usme mitti ke kan bade bade na rahe balki wo dhool jaise hi dikhe. Maine nakul se kaha ki wo niche jaye aur us gaddhe ko dekhe. Yaha dhool ferne wala kaam main kar dugi. Meri ye baat sun kar nakul ne mujhe baalti di aur fir kamre ke baahar rakhe dono gaddo ko le kar chala gaya.
Maine bed par aur har us jagah par halki halki dhool daali jaha par hamare nisaan ban gaye the. Uske baad main baalti le kar niche aa gai. Niche aunty ji kitchen me thi jabki uncle ji aur nakul dikhai nahi diye to main samajh gai ki wo shayad piche ki taraf gaye hoge. Kitchen me aa kar maine aunty ji se kaha ki main sabke liye chaay banati hu aap araam se baithiye. Meri baat sun kar aunty ji ne muskurate huye kaha ki abhi kaam karne ki aadat padi hui hai is liye agar araam karne lagugi to baad me kaam nahi kar paaugi. Unki baat par maine kaha ki jab tak ye mahaul hai tab tak aapko araam se baithna hai. Uske baad jaise aapka man kare karte rahiyega. Meri ye baat sun kar aunty ne mere sir par pyar se hath fera aur fir muskurate huye baahar chali gai.
Subah ki chaay bana kar maine sabko di. Uncle aunty dono ne meri banaai chaay ki tarif ki. Uske baad main breakfast banane me lag gai. Aunty ji kitchen me hi mere paas thi aur mujhse baate kar rahi thi. Main unhe koi kaam nahi karne de rahi thi. Koi chij na milti to main unse puch jarur leti thi. Uncle ji aur nakul kamre me baate kar rahe the. Kamre ki khidki se uncle ji baahar dekhte ja rahe the. Hamara plan yahi tha ki jaise hi baahar wo police wala aata dikhega waise hi wo hame ishara kar dege. Unke ishare par main aur nakul piche ja kar us gaddhe ke andar ghus jayege. Ham dono jaise hi gaddhe me chhup jayege to uncle ji us gaddhe ko ply se band kar ke uske upar bhangaar ki wo chije rakh dege.
Breakfast ke baad ham sab niche hi baithe huye the aur uncle ji kamre ki khidki se baahar dekhte ja rahe the. Subah se dopahar ho gai magar wo police wala na aaya. Mujhe to pahle hi laga tha ki wo is baarish ke hone se shayad nahi aayega. Dopahar se shaam bhi ho gai magar wo police wala na aaya. Waise to ye hamare liye achhi baat hi thi magar ek tension bhi bana hua tha ki kya pata wo kis wakt yaha aa jaye is liye is baat se ham befikra nahi ho sakte the.
Jab se ratan bhaiya ki mujhse baat hui thi tab se wo mom ko mere bare me batane ka koi achha sa mauka dhudh rahe the. Wo ghar me dad aur ravendra uncle ke rahte huye mom ko mere bare me batane se dar rahe the. Unhe achhi tarah pata tha ki unke dwara jaise hi mom ko mere bare me sab pata lagega to mom mamta me bah kar is baat ko sare ghar me faila degi aur dad ko bhi sab kuch bata degi. Uske baad dad kya action lege iske bare me ratan bhaiya ko achhe se pata tha. Is liye wo aisa mauka dekh rahe the jab ghar me dad aur ravendra uncle na ho. Jisse agar baat badhe bhi to wo use samhaal sake.
Jab se main aur naina ghar se gayab huye the tab se dono hi family ke parents pareshan the aur ham dono ki khoj me bhatak rahe the. Sanjay uncle jyadatar mere dad ke sath hi rahte the. Ravendra uncle bhi puri koshish kar rahe the magar unhe dad ki gair maujudgi me kheto par kaam kar rahe majduro ko bhi dekhna padta tha. Ek tarah se ye sare kaam ab unke hi kandho par aa gaye the.
Subah breakfast karne ke baad dad aur sanjay uncle kahi chale gaye the aur ravendra uncle bhi kheto me daalne ke liye khaad lene shahar chale gaye the. Ratan bhaiya ko yahi mauka achha laga tha mom se baat karne ka. Mom aaj kal jyadatar apne kamre me hi rahti thi. Jab se main nakul ke sath ghar se bhaag kar gai thi tab se mom ki haalat kharab thi. Jisse wo bimaar bhi pad chuki thi aur ab wo kamre me hi rahti thi. Ghar ka sara kaam meghna aunty aur unki beti maya hi karti thi. Waise to ghar me ek do naukraniya bhi thi magar khana banane ka kaam khud hi karna padta tha.
Ratan bhaiya ne jab dekha ki yahi achha mauka hai baat karne ka to wo mom ke kamre me pahuch gaye. Mom apne bed par karwat liye leti hui thi. Ratan bhaiya ne unhe pukara to unhone ratan bhaiya ki taraf dekha. Ratan bhaiya andar se bahut hi jyada ghabra rahe the aur himmat juta rahe the ki mom se mere bare me bata sake.
"Mom mujhe aapse jaruri baat karni hai." Ratan bhaiya ne bed ke kinare par baith kar mom se kaha.
"Kaisi jaruri baat karni hai tujhe." Mom ne pucha.
"Pahle aap vachan dijiye ki aap meri baate dhyaan se sunegi aur sun kar gussa nahi karegi." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Haa to bol na beta. Main gussa kyo karugi." Mom ne kaha.
"Darasal mom mujhe neelam ke bare me aapse baat karna hai. Mujhe uske bare me sab pata hai." Ratan bhaiya ne ye kaha to mom ke expression change ho gaye.
"Neelam ke bare me sab pata hai tujhe. Ye kya kah raha hai tu." Mom ne shock ho ke kaha.
"Haa mom mujhe uske bare me sab pata hai. Mujhe ye bhi pata hai ki wo kis time yaha se gai thi aur ye bhi pata hai ki is wakt wo kaha hai." Ratan bhaiya ne darte huye kaha.
"Kya tu sach kah raha hai ratan. Kaha hai meri beti. Tune ab tak mujhse ye sab bataya kyo nahi." Mom ka para chadhne laga.
"Agar main ye baat pahle hi bata deta to kya ho jata mom. Jo kuch use karna tha wo usne kar hi diya tha. Usi me uski khushi thi mom. Wo us ladke se pyar karti thi aur usi ko apna sab kuch maanti thi. Aise me agar ham me se koi usse jor jabardasti karta to ho sakta hai ki wo kuch ulta seedha kar baithti. Isse achha to yahi tha mom ki use uski khushiya mil jaye. Fir bhale hi chaahe use aisa kadam hi kyo na uthana pade." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"To tu apni bahan ka paksh le raha hai. Tujhe is baat se koi matlab nahi hai ki uske aisa karne se ham par kya gujar rahi hai aur hamare kandan ki ijjat par kya asar hua hai." Mom ne thode gusse se kaha.
"Soch ka fark hai mom. Bada aadmi ye sochta hai ki bade ghar me sambandh banane se ijjat aur jyada badhti hai jabki gareeb aadmi ke sath sambandh banane me use lagta hai ki uski ijjat ka kachra ho jayega. Ye duniya wale aise hain mom ki dono surto me wo hamare bare me galat hi sochte hain. Nakul ek aisa ladka hai jo gareeb hai aur jiska is duniya me apna koi nahi hai. Sirf is vajah se dad neelam ki shadi usse nahi karna chahte jabki us ladke me sabse badi khubi ye hai mom ki wo behad hi imandar aur samajhdar ladka hai. Usme koi aib nahi hai jaise aaj kal ke ladko me hota hai. Padha likha bhi hai to ek din kahi koi achhi si naukari bhi karega jisse uski ye garibi aur aukaat badh hi jayegi. Meri najar me to us ladke me koi kharabi nahi hai mom. Sabse badi baat ye hai ki main apni bahan ki khushi ke bare me sochta hu. Yahi vajah thi ki maine sab kuch jante huye bhi use nakul ke sath jane se nahi roka tha." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"To tujhe sab pata tha pahle se." Mom ne pucha.
"Haa mom mujhe sab pata tha. Main ye bhi janta tha ki is tarah ke halaat me wo dono ek din bhaag hi jayege. Aakhir wo aisi situation me karte bhi kya mom. Wo dono ek dusre se pyar karte the aur dono ek sath life gujarna chahte the. Jab dad ka faisla patthar ki lakeer ho gaya to unke aage yahi ek raasta bacha tha. Jis raat neelam yaha se gai thi to main bhi uske piche piche railway station tak gaya tha." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Kya kaha tune. Us raat uske piche piche gaya tha tu." Mom ne hairani se pucha.
"Haa mom. Main uske piche piche gaya tha. Mujhe apni bahan ki fikra thi is liye uske piche gaya tha aur station me usse mila bhi tha." Bhaiya ne kaha to mom ka muh ashcharya se khul gaya.
Uske baad ratan bhaiya ne us raat ki sari baat mom ko bata di. Ye bhi bataya ki unhone mujhe ek mobile bhi gift kiya tha. Sari baat sunne ke baad mom khamoshi se bhaiya ko kaafi der tak dekhti rahi.
"To kya neelam se teri baat bhi hoti hai. Tune use mobile diya tha na." Mom ne pucha.
"Haa do din pahle hi usse meri baat hui thi aur maine uska haal chaal liya tha. Usse ye bhi kaha ki uske jane se aapka ro ro ke bura haal hai is liye wo aapse ek baar baat kar le." Ratan bhaiya ne bataya.
"To kya kaha usne aur tune kya usse wapas aane ko nahi kaha." Mom ne kaha.
"Jab main achhi tarah janta hu mom ki wo kisi ke kahne se wapas nahi aayegi to kahne ka kya faayda lekin jab maine usko bola ki aapse ek baar baat kar le to wo darte huye aakhir baat karne ke liye maan hi gai. Maine usse kaha hai ki main mom se baat kar ke use bataauga ki kab baat karna hai." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Tune ye sab baate mujhse pahle kyo nahi bataai thi. Itne dino se meri haalat kharaab thi aur tune sab kuch jante huye bhi mujhse is bare me chhupaya. Kyo kiya tune aisa." Mom ne dukhi ho ke kaha.
"Maine aapse sirf isi liye nahi ab tak nahi bataya tha ki kahi ye sab baate aap dad ko na bata de. Agar aap dad se bata deti to dad fir mujh par gussa karte aur mujhse neelam ka phone number le kar usse baat karte. Aise me neelam ke liye problem ho jati mom aur main aisa nahi chahta tha." Bhaiya ne bataya.
"Mujhe abhi neelam se baat karni hai. Tu phone laga use." Mom ne kaha.
"Abhi." Bhaiya ne pucha.
"Haa abhi baat karni hai mujhe. Tu phone laga use." Mom ne kaha.
"Thik hai mom lekin pahle aap mujhse wada kijiye ki aap ye baat ghar me kisi ko nahi batayegi." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Kyo nahi bataaugi. Main tere dad se jarur bataugi aur kahugi ki ab use jald se jald ghar wapas le ke aaye." Mom ne kaha.
"Fir jane dijiye mom. Main neelam se aapki baat nahi kara sakta. Main sirf aapki haalat ko dekh kar aapse baat karwane ki baat kahne aaya tha magar mujhe dukh hai mom ki aap khud nahi chahti hain ki aapki beti khush rahe. Aapko is bare me dad se batana hai to beshak bata dijiye. Main apni bahan ki khushi ke liye dad ka gussa aur unki har saja kabul kar luga. Ja raha hu main." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha aur bed se uth kar khade ho gaye.
"Khabardar agar tu yaha se gaya to. Main kahti hu abhi phone laga use aur meri baat karwa usse." Mom ne is baar gusse me kaha.
"Main neelam se aapki baat tabhi kara sakta hu mom jab aap meri kasam kha kar kahegi ki aap is bare me kisi se kuch nahi kahegi. Baaki aap is baat ki chinta mat kijiye ki neelam ko kuch hoga. Use maine sab samjha diya hai. Agar wo kisi musibat me hogi to mujhe phone kar ke bata degi. Main apni bahan ke liye apni jaan tak laga duga." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Bahan ke liye itna pyar kaise aa gaya tere andar. Iske pahle to kabhi itna pyar nahi dikhaya tha tune." Mom ne kaha.
"Pyar hamesha se hi tha mom. Main kabhi dikhata nahi tha. Bachpan se le kar aaj tak maine neelam ko kabhi data nahi aur na hi use kisi cheej ke liye kuch kaha hai." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Par beta tu samajh kyo nahi raha ki uska is tarah se jana kisi bhi tarah se thik nahi hai. Agar uske sath kuch ulta sidha ho gaya to kahi ke nahi rah jayege ham." Mom ne kaha.
"Agar uski itni hi fikra hai mom to dad se kah dijiye ki wo un dono ki shadi kar de. Wo dono ek dusre ke sath hi khush rahege." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Aisa nahi ho sakta beta. Tu apne dad aur uncle ko achhi tarah janta hai ki wo aise ladke se neelam ki shadi kabhi nahi karege jo unke samne koi haisiyat hi na rakhta ho." Mom ne kaha.
"Haisiyat aaj nahi to kal ban hi jayegi mom. Nakul padha likha aur honhaar ladka hai. Uski achhi naukari lag jayegi aur wo neelam ko khush rakhega." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Aur agar aisa nahi hua to. Agar uski naukari na lagi to. Aiso araam me pali badhi teri bahan uske sath kaise khushi se jindagi gujaar payegi. Jab duniya bhar ki musibate sir par aa dhamkegi na to is pyar ka sara bhoot bhaag jayega." Mom ne kaha.
"Kisi ki kismat me kya likha hai ye koi nahi janta mom. Aaj aap nakul ke bare aisa is liye kah rahi hain kyo ki is time wo aisa hai jabki kal ko uski kismat me naukari bhi ho sakti hai aur dher sara paisa bhi. Duniya me aise bahut se log hain mom jinki kismat aise hi badal chuki hai. Dusri baat ye hai ki neelam ki khushi usi se hai to uski khushi ka khayaal rakhte huye ham khud bhi to aisa kuch kar sakte hain jisse wo dono aage bhi khushi se jeewan bashar kar sake." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Kya kahna chahta hai tu." Mom ne kaha.
"Ek baar ke liye agar ham ye maan le ki nakul ki naukari nahi lagti to ham khud bhi to uski madad kar sakte hain na. Dad ki itni jaan pahchaan hai to ham khud uski kahi naukari lagwa sakte hain ya fir use koi dhandha karwa sakte hain. Mom amiri garibi kuch nahi hoti aur na hi insaan is baat se achha kaha jata hai balki achha tab kaha jata hai jab ham kisi ki khushiyo ke liye itna kuch karte hain. Agar un dono ki shadi ho jati hai to kal ko is gaav ka hi nahi balki aas paas ke har gaav wale yahi kahege ki dad ne us ladke ki aukaat nahi dekhi balki uski khushi dekhi thi aur isi liye un dono ki khushi khushi shadi kara di. Ye koi chhoti baat nahi hai mom balki badi baat hai. Bade ameer log to dhan daulat ki vajah se khud ko bada samajhte hain jabki sabse badi cheej to insaan ki insaaniyat aur dusro par upkaar karne ki bhaavna hoti hai." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Tu itna bada kab ho gaya mere bete. Abhi tak main tere bare me yahi samajh rahi thi ki tu hawaragardi karne wala ladka hai jise mauj masti karne se matlab hai magar shayad main galat thi." Mom ne bhaiya se kaha.
"Main aap sabke liye aaj bhi chhota sa bachcha hi hu mom. Main mauj masti me bhale hi duba rahta hu magar itna to main bhi samajhta hu mom. Meri dosti sirf bade ghar ke ladko se hi bas nahi hai balki gareb ladko se bhi hai. Jinki haalat dekh kar mujhe ahsaas hota hai ki sukh dukh kya hai aur insaniyat kya hai." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Main to tere dad ki vajah se kuch nahi kar sakti bete. Itna to main bhi janti hu ki meri beti ki khushi kisme hai lekin agar main neelam ke paksh me kuch kahugi to tere dad mujh par hi gussa karege. Unse ye sab kahna to jaise patthar par sir patakna hai." Mom ne kaha.
"Main janta hu mom magar fir bhi dad se is bare me ye sab kahna padega aapko aur unhe apne tarike se samjhana bhi padega. Abhi bhi kuch nahi bigda hai mom. Agar dad un dono ki shadi ke liye raaji ho jate hain to main un dono ko waapas bula luga. Uske baad ham bade dhum dhaam se un dono ki shadi karege. Mera dil kahta hai ki nakul aage chal kar bahut kuch karne lagega aur wo neelam ko kisi bhi tarah ka dukh nahi hone dega." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Ye sab to thik hai beta lekin sabse muskil kaam yahi hai ki tere dad ko iske liye kaise manaye." Mom ne kaha.
"Ye aap sochiye mom. Itna jyada dad se mat dara kijiye. Kabhi kabhi unki aakho me aakhe daal ke apni baat kah diya kijiye. Aap unse kuch kahti nahi hain is liye wo aap par haavi rahte hain." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Mujhe kyo samjha raha hai. Tu khud hi kyo nahi baat kar leta unse." Mom ne muskura ke kaha.
"Pahle aap baat kijiye mom. Jab aap baat karegi to mauka dekh kar main bhi aapke sath shamil ho jaauga." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Tu marwayega mujhe. Achha ye sab chhod tu neelam ko phone to laga. Mujhe usse baat karni hai." Mom ne kaha.
"Pahle main usse baat karuga mom. Use bataauga ki aap usse baat karne ke liye raaji ho gai hain. Waise bhi wo phone ko chaalu kar ke nahi rakhti hai." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Aisa kyo." Mom ne pucha.
"Use lagta hai ki maine use wo phone is liye diya hai ki main use fasana chahta hu. Us paagal ko itni bhi akal nahi thi ki agar mujhe usko fasana hi hota to us raat hi fasa deta. Akela railway station nahi jata balki dad ko le kar jata. Par shayad uski galti nahi hai mom. Us haal me uske dimaag me yahi baat aati." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Thik hai tu usse baat kar le. Fir mujhse baat karana uski." Mom ne kaha.
"Thik hai par aapko meri kasam hai. Aap is bare me kisi se kuch nahi batayegi." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Haa thik hai nahi bataugi." Mom ne kaha.
"Ab main chalta hu. Neelam se baat karne ke baad aapko bataauga. Aap bhi dad se us bare me baat kar lena. Aur haa aakho me aakhe daal ke baat karna unse." Bhaiya ne kaha.
"Ab tu pitega mujhse." Mom ne aakhe dikhaai to bhaiya haste huye kamre se baahar bhaag gaye.

Back to my side..
Raat me ham dono kha pi kar upar chhat par sone aa gaye the. Aaj asmaan me baadal nahi the balki sara asmaan saaf tha aur sitare timtima rahe the. Ham dono chhat ke bich me gadde bichha kar lete huye the. Pichhli raat hamare bich jo kuch hua tha uske bare me na maine baat ki thi aur na hi nakul ne kuch kaha tha. Us bare me baat karne ka time bhi nahi mila tha hame. Sara din to us police wale ke aane ki soch me hi gujar gaya tha lekin wo police wala aaya hi nahi tha. Uncle ji ka kahna tha ki wo dhokhe se aise wakt par bhi aa sakta hai jis wakt par uske aane ki hame ummid hi na ho. Is liye hame har wakt satark rahna hoga.
"Kya soch rahe ho jaan." Maine nakul ki taraf karwat le kar usse pucha.
"Yahi ki hamare sath aisa kab tak chalega. Kab aisa wakt aayega jab ham dono puri ajaadi se ek sath apni life ji sakege." Nakul ne kaha.
"Ek din aisa jarur aayega jaan. Ye hamare pyar aur sahas ki pariksha ka wakt hai. Aise wakt ko hame kisi na kisi tarah to kaatna hi padega. Ab tak jaisi bhi mushkile hamare saamne aai hain unme ham kisi na kisi tarah bach hi nikle hain aur aage bhi bach niklege. Bhagwan ham dono ke sath hai." Maine kaha.
"Tumne apne bhaiya se naina ke bare me puchha kya." Nakul ne kaha.
"Pucha to tha par unka bhi yahi kahna tha ki naina tabhi se gayab hai jabse ham dono ghar se gaye hain. Pata nahi kaha gai hogi wo aur kis haal me hogi. Mujhe samajh me nahi aata ki wo is tarah kyo gayab hui hogi." Maine kaha.
"Mujhe lagta hai ki uske gayab hone ke piche koi na koi vajah jarur hai. Bhala wo is tarah khud apni marji se kaha chali jayegi. Jarur koi badi baat hui hogi." Nakul ne kaha.
"Mujhe bhi yahi lagta hai. Koi to vajah jarur hai iske piche." Maine kaha.
"Achha kya tumne ratan bhaiya se is bare me pucha ki akhbaar me ham dono ki khabar kaise aur kisne chhapaai thi." Nakul ne kaha.
"Bhaiya ne mujhse kaha tha ki wo is bare me pata lagayege. Kuch din pahle unse baat hui thi meri." Maine kaha.
"Aaj fir deepak ne phone kiya tha mujhe." Nakul ne kaha.
"Achha kya kah raha tha wo." Maine pucha.
"Bas hamara haal chaal puch raha tha." Nakul ne kaha.
"Kya aaj usne tumse mumbai chalne ke liye nahi kaha." Maine pucha.
"Nahi is bare me usne kuch nahi kaha. Shayad wo samajh chuka hoga ki ab ham yaha se jane wale nahi hain. Isi liye usne bhi ab is bare me mujhse kuch kahne ka man badal liya hoga. Waise bata raha tha ki uski makaan malkin ne use kamra khaali karne ke liye kaha hai. Is liye ab use dusri jagah apne liye kamra khojna padega." Nakul ne kaha.
"Aisa kyo." Maine pucha.
"Usne bataya ki uski makaan maalkin is baat se bahut gussa hai ki usne ham dono ko uske yaha raat me le ke aaya aur waha par hame ek tarah se chhupa ke rakha. Uske anusaar usne ye galat kaam kiya hai. Is liye wo kisi galat kaam karne wale ko apne yaha nahi rakhegi." Nakul ne kaha.
"Ye to uske sath bura hua jaan. Hamari vajah se uske sath bhi ye sab ho gaya. Na wo hame le kar waha jata aur na hi aaj use waha se nikala jata." Maine kaha.
"Maine bhi usse yahi kaha tha to kahne laga ki uski najar me usne ham dono ki hifajat kar ke koi galat kaam nahi kiya tha. Iske liye agar use dusri jagah rahne ke liye kamra khojna padega to use iska koi dukh nahi hai." Nakul ne kaha.
Nakul ki is baat par main deepak ke bare me sochne lagi. Is wakt mujhe yahi lag raha tha ki deepak ko hamari vajah se uski makaan maalkin ne apne ghar se nikaal diya hai. Uske sath aisa nahi hona chahiye tha. Wo ek achha insaan tha. Ham dono ko deepak ke liye is baat se bura feel ho raha tha magar ham ab iske liye kya kar sakte the. Ham dono to khud hi apni mushkilo se tension me the.
Khule chhat me mast thandi thandi hawa chal rahi thi. Kuch hi der me ham dono gahri need me chale gaye. Subah ham dono uthe aur apne apne kaamo me lag gaye. Ham sab puri tarah satark the. Uncle ji apne kamre ki khidki ke paas hi maujud the aur baahar najar rakhe huye the. Dopahar ko maine khana banaya aur sabko khana diya. Uncle aunty dono hi mere banaye khane ki tarif kar rahe the. Aunty ji mujhe bahut pyar aur sneh de rahi thi. Mujhe bilkul bhi nahi lag raha tha ki main yaha kisi ajnabi ke ghar me hu.
Dopahar ko main aur nakul chhat par gallery me gadde bichha kar araam kar rahe the. Mere man me mobile ka khayaal aaya to main niche gai aur aunty ji ke kamre me rakhe apne bag se mobile ko chupke se nikala aur upar waapas aa gai. Aunty ji us wakt kamre me nahi thi. Is vajah se unhe pata hi nahi chala ki main unke kamre me kis liye gai thi. Upar aa kar maine mobile ko on kiya to kuch hi der me usme ratan bhaiya ke massages aane shuru ho gaye. Unke last messege me unhone likh ke bheja tha ki unhone mom se mere bare me sab kuch bata diya hai aur ab mom mujhse baat karna chahti hain.
Maine us messege ko padha to meri dhadkane tej ho gai. Maine nakul ko bhi wo messege dikhaya to nakul ne mujhse kaha ki mujhe mom se baat kar lena chahiye. Nakul ke kahne par maine ratan bhaiya ko messege type kar ke bhej diya. Do teen minute baad bhaiya ne messege dekha aur fir unhone mujhe reply kiya. Unhone likha ki main apna mobile on hi rakhu. Abhi to dad ghar par hain is liye ghar me unke rahte baat nahi ho payegi is liye wo mauka dekh ke khud hi mujhe call karege. Ratan bhaiya ke is messege par maine thik hai likh kar bhej diya.
Ratan bhaiya se maine kuch der messege me hi baat ki uske baad maine mobile ek taraf rakh diya aur araam karne lagi. Ham dono is bare me jane kya kya soche ja rahe the. Meri to ye soch kar dhadkane badh rahi thi ki mom se jab main phone par baat karugi to wo mujhse kya kahegi aur fir main unki baato ka kya jawaab dugi. Main ye bhi soch rahi thi ki ratan bhaiya ne mom se mere bare me sab kuch kaise bataya hoga.
Dusre din dopahar kareeb 12:40 par divya ke mom dad aaye. Naina ne un dono ko haath jod kar namaste kiya. Divya ke mom dad naina ko pahchan gaye the. Divya ki mom ne naina ko pyar se gale laga kar kaha tha ki wo kitni badi ho gai hai aur kitni sundar bhi. Kuch der aisi hi baate karne ke baad divya ke mom dad fresh hone ke liye chale gaye. Fresh ho kar jab wo aaye to unke samne lunch ready tha. Sabne ek sath hi baith kar khana khaya. Khane ke dauraan hi divya ke dad ne bataya ki unhone aate samay is area ke SP ko phone kar ke is bare me sab kuch samjha diya hai aur use kah diya hai ki wo neelam aur nakul ko khojne ka kaam shuru kar de. SP ne unhe dopahar do baje thane me bulaya tha jisse ki wo use neelam aur nakul ki tasvire de sake.
Khane ke baad ashok uncle aur saroj aunty apne kamre me araam karne chale gaye. Neelam aur nakul ki tasvir naina ke paas hone ka sawaal hi nahi tha kyo ki uske paas koi phone wagaira nahi tha us wakt. Tasviro ke liye usne ashok uncle se kaha tha ki kuch din pahle usne akhbar me neelam aur nakul ki tasvir chhapi dekhi thi. Naina ki is baat ko sun kar ashok uncle ne kaha ki us din ka akhbar hamare ghar me jarur hoga. Is liye unhone divya se kaha ki wo pichle kuch dino ke akhbar me neelam aur nakul ki tasvir khoje. Ashok uncle ke kahne par divya fauran hi is kaam me lag gai.
Akhbar dring room ki pichli diwaar ke paas rakhi ek lakdi ki almari me rahte the. Divya usi almari me akhbar dekhne lagi thi. Pichle kuch dino ke sare akhbar wo almari se utha kar laai aur sofe par rakh diya. Uske baad naina aur divya dono ne mil kar ek ek akhbar ke har page ko ulat ulat kar dekhne lagi. Kuch hi der me naina ko ek akhbar me neelam aur nakul ki tasvir unki khabar ke sath chhapi mil gai. Ye dekh kar naina ki khushi ka koi thikana na raha. Usne wo akhbar divya ko dikhaya. Divya us akhbar ko dekhte huye usme chhapi khabar bhi padhne lagi.
"Akhbar me un dono ki tasvir jyada saaf nahi dikh rahi hai naina. Is tarah me ho sakta hai un dono ko khojna police ke liye asaan na ho." Divya ne kaha.
"Mere man me ek idea hai. Ye akhbar jis kisi ne bhi chhapwaya hoga usne akhbar wale ko neelam aur nakul ki tasvir jarur di hogi. Ho sakta hai ki wo tasvir abhi bhi akhbar walo ke paas ho. Agar ashok uncle is akhbar wale ke yaha jaye to shayad unhe waha se neelam aur nakul ki original tasvir mil jaye." Naina ne kaha.
"Ye to sahi kaha tune. Akhbar wale ke paas un dono ki tasvir jarur hogi. Ek aur baat hai aur wo ye ki akhbar wala ye bhi bata sakta hai ki uske akhbar me neelam aur nakul ki tasvir ke sath is khabar ko chhapne ke liye use kisne kaha tha. Teri tarah mujhe bhi lagta hai ki neelam ke dad akhbar me is tarah ki khabar chhapwane ka nahi soch sakte. Kyo ki aise me unki ijjat mitti me mil jayegi. Ye jarur kisi aur ka kaam hai." Divya ne kaha.
"Koi aur un dono ki khabar news paper par kyo chhapwayega. Aakhir use isse kya laabh ho sakta hai." Naina ne kaha.
"Is bare me abhi ham kuch bhi nahi kah sakte. Lekin agar akhbar wale ne dad ko khabar chhapwane wale ke bare me bata diya to shayad samajh me aa jaye ki usne aisa kyo kiya hoga." Divya ne kaha.
"Shayad tu sahi kah rahi hai. Tu uncle se kahna ki wo akhbar wale ke yaha se is baat ka pata lagwaye ya wo khud hi pata karne jaye." Naina ne kaha.
"Ye bhi koi kahne wali baat hai. Jab ham ye baat unhe batayege to wo bhi aisa hi karne ka sochege. Chal chhod abhi to wo araam kar rahe hain. Yaha ke SP ne unhe do baje police station par bulaya hai. Tabhi ham unse baat karege is bare me." Divya ne kaha.
Divya ne baaki ke akhbar wapas almari me rakhe aur jis akhbar me neelam aur nakul ki tasvir thi us akhbar ko apne paas rakh liya. Dono sofe par baithi idhar udhar ki baate karti rahi. Baato baato me time ke gujarne ka pata hi nahi chala. Jab wall clock par dophar ke 1:30 baje to divya sofe se uth kar apne mom dad ke kamre ke paas gai aur unhe baahar se hi awaaj de kar jaga diya.
Thodi der baad divya ke mom dad kamre se baahar aa gaye. Saroj aunty kitchen me sabke liye chaay banane chali gai jabki ashok uncle sofe par aa kar baith gaye. Wo kamre se taiyar ho kar aaye the. Unke aate hi divya ne unke samne table par wo akhbar rakh diya aur bataya ki is akhbar me un dono ki tasvir chhapi hai. Ashok uncle ne us akhbar ko dhyan se dekha. Khabar padhne ke baad wo bhi yahi bole ki akhbar me un dono ki tasvir kafi dhudhli hai.
Divya aur naina ne unki is baat par unhe wahi sab bataya jo kuch der pahle wo dono baate kar rahi thi. Un dono ki baate sun kar ashok uncle ne kaha ki un dono ne kafi samajhdari se is bare me socha hai.
"Is akhbar ke sath main SP se miluga aur usse bhi is bare me baate karuga. Mujhe bhi yahi lagta hai ki surendra bhai sahab ne apni ijjat ko taak me rakh kar un dono ke bare me aisi khabar news paper par nahi chhapwaai hogi. Sach me ye kaam kisi aur ka hi hai. Anyway ab tum dono is baat ki chinta chhodo. Main SP se is bare me puri chhanbeen karne ko kahuga." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Thank you so much uncle." Naina ne kaha.
"Isme thank you bolne ki jarurat nahi hai beti. Neelam bhi to meri beti ki tarah hi hai. Uski suraksha ke liye ye sab karna mera farj hai aur main puri koshish karuga ki use kisi bhi tarah ki taklif na hone paye." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
Saroj aunty hath me chaay ka tray liye aai aur sabko chaay di. Uske baad wo bhi ashok uncle ke bagal se baith kar chaay pine lagi. Chaay pine ke baad ashok uncle akhbar le kar baahar chale gaye. Unke piche naina divya aur saroj aunty man hi man bhagwan se sab kuch achha hone ki prarthna karne lagi thi.
.......
Back to my side....
Ham dono soye huye the. Mujhe need me hi aisa lag raha tha jaise koi chij mere badan par ajeeb tarah se gharshan kar rahi ho. Kuch hi der me is baat se meri need khul gai. Maine charo taraf dekha to koi nahi tha. Tabhi fir se mujhe aisa laga jaise mere pet ke paas koi chij pahle ki tarah gharshan karne lagi hai aur is baar mujhe kisi chij ke bhinbhinane ki awaaj bhi sunaai di. Main is baat se ghabra gai aur uth kar baith gai. Maine niche gadde par dekha to meri jaan me jaan aai. Jo chij mere pet me gharshan kar rahi thi aur bhinbhinane ki awaaj kar rahi thi wo chij mobile phone tha. Uski ring tone maine band kar rakhi thi is liye jab bhi usme koi messege ya call aata tha to wo aise hi bhinbhinane lagta tha.
Gadde par pade mobile ki screen jal rahi thi aur usme ratan bhaiya likha hua najar aa raha tha. Mere dimaag ne kaam kiya aur main samajh gai ki ratan bhaiya ne mom se baat karane ke liye shayad mujhe call kiya hai. Maine jaldi se mobile uthaya. Nakul dusri taraf karwat liye so raha tha. Uski taraf ek baar dekhne ke baad main uthi aur mobile le kar khule chhat ki taraf chali aai.
"Hello neel." Khule chhat me aa kar jaise hi maine call receive kar ke use kaan se lagaya to ratan bhaiya ki awaaj mere kaan me padi. Maine bhi apni tej hoti dhadkano ko kaabu karte huye hello kiya to unhone pucha ki phone kyo nahi utha rahi thi. Kitni der se call kar raha tha tujhe. Unki is baat par maine unhe bataya ki main so rahi thi aur mobile silent mode par tha is liye pata nahi chala tha.
"Chal koi baat nahi. Le mom se baat kar." Ratan bhaiya ne ye kaha to ekdam se mujhe aisa laga jaise meri dhadkane ruk gai ho. Main mom se baat karne ki unki is baat se buri tarah ghabra gai thi but ab baat to karni hi thi. Is liye maine apne aapko kisi tarah samhala aur dhire se ji kah diya. Kuch hi der me mere kaan me mom ki awaaj padi. Unhone jab rudhi awaaj me mujhe neelam kaha to mujhe laga ki main apne aapko rone se rok nahi paaugi. Mere andar badi teji se jajbaat bhuchaal sa machane lage the. Badi mushkil se maine khud ke jajbaato ko machalne se roka aur kaapti awaaj me mom kaha.
"Kaisi hai meri beti. Kya meri beti ko apni maa ki yaad nahi aati." Mom ne ye kaha to main buri tarah kaap gai.
"Aati hai mom. Aapki bahut yaad aati hai mujhe. Aisa lagta hai ki ud kar aapke paas aa jaau aur fir aapke aachal me chhup jaau." Maine halke se sisakte huye kaha.
"To aa ja na meri gudiya. Meri aakhe tujhe dekhne ke liye taras rahi hain. Tujhe nahi pata ki tere jane ke baad se meri kya haalat ho gai hai. Tujhe apni is maa par ek baar bhi daya nahi aai." Mom ne kaha to main is baar ro padi. Main janti thi ki wo mujhe bahut pyar karti hain. Bhale hi maine ye sab kiya tha magar maa bachcho ki har galti bhool kar uske liye tadap jati hai.
"Mujhe maaf kar dijiye mom. Main aisa kar ke aapse door nahi hona chahti thi lekin main kya karti. Main majbur thi mom. Mere paas aisa karne ke siva koi dusra raasta hi nahi bacha tha." Maine rote huye kaha.
"Mujhe bhi maaf kar de beti. Main bhi to teri khushi ke liye kuch nahi kar paai. Meri vivasta ko tu nahi samajh payegi beti." Mom ne bhi sisakte huye kaha.
"Main samajhti hu mom. Main janti hu ki dad ke samne koi kuch bhi bolne ki himmat nahi kar sakta hai. Isi liye mujhe aapse koi shikayat nahi hai. Main khush kismat hu mom ki aap meri mom hain aur ratan bhaiya jaise pyar karne wale bhaiya hain. Main ye bhi jaanti hu ki sab log mujhse bahut pyar karte hain magar mere liye un sabka ye pyar shayad gaav samaaj me bani unki ijjat se bahut chhota hai. Mujhe is baat par bhi unse koi shikayat nahi hai. Aakhir har insaan duniya me ijjat sammaan se hi to jina chahta hai aur iske liye unhe bahut kuch sahna bhi padta hai aur bahut kuch kurban bhi karna padta hai. Dukh hai to is baat ka ki samaaj me rahne wale ye log aise niyam kanoon kyo banate hain jiske chalte jyadatar logo ko dukh hi milta hai. Kya ijjat aur maan sammaan ki yahi paribhasha hoti hai ki uske liye insaan kisi ki bhi khushiyo ko na dekhe." Maine kaha.
"Yahi duniya ka riwaaj hai beti. Aksar yahi hota hai ki ham sab kuch jante huye bhi duniya walo ke banaye jhuthe prapancho ko maanne par vivas hote hain aur kabhi kabhi aisa bhi hota hai ki ham sach ko jaan bujh kar daba dete hain. Kher jane de beti. Tu ye bata ki waha par tu thik se to hai na. Tujhe kisi tarah ki koi taklif to nahi hai na." Mom ne pucha.
"Main yaha thik hu mom. Waise bhi duniya me insaan chahe jaha bhi rahe uski life me sukh dukh to aata hi rahta hai. Aap meri chinta mat kijiye." Maine kaha.
"Teri chinta to bani hi rahegi beti. Aakhir maa hu teri. Main ye kaise chaah sakti hu ki tujhe kisi tarah ki taklif ho. Mera bas chale to sansar ki sari khushiya teri jholi me la kar daal du." Mom ne dukhi ho ke kaha.
"Ye sab chhodiye mom aur ye bataiye ki waha par baaki sab log kaise hain aur maya kaisi hai." Maine pucha.
"Tere is tarah chale jane se kya koi achha ho sakta hai. Tere dad bhale hi upar se chahe kitne hi kathor dikhe magar main janti hu ki wo bhi andar se dukhi hain. Wo kisi ko dikhate nahi hain ki wo kaisa mahsus karte hain. Main maanti hu beti ki us ladke ke sath hi teri khushiya hain magar ek pal ke liye hamare bare me bhi to socha hota." Mom ne kaha.
"Aapko kya lagta hai mom ki maine kisi ke bare me socha nahi hoga. Aapko shayad andaja bhi nahi hai ki aap sabse door jane ke liye maine khud ko kitna samjhaya tha aur kathor bhi banaya tha. Aap sab mere apne hain aur mujhe bahut pyaar karte hain. Ye sab jante huye bhi maine ye sab kiya magar aap bhi samajh sakti hain ki ye sab maine kyo kiya hai aur kis majburi me kiya hai. Ye mere us prem aur khushi ki baat thi mom jiske sath mujhe apni life gujarna tha." Maine kaha.
"Haa main samajhti hu beti. Ham sab tujhse bahut pyar karte hain aur yahi chahte hain ki tu hamesha khush rahe. Kuch chije aisi hoti hain jinke samne ham majbur ho jate hain. Par chal koi baat nahi. Ratan ne mujhe sab kuch bataya hai aur usne mujhse aur bhi kuch baate kahi jisse mujhe bhi ab ye lagta hai ki wo ladka tere liye thik rahega. Maine soch liya hai beti ki is bare me tere pita se khul kar baat karugi aur unhe samjhaugi ki kya sahi rahega. Ye sab thoda mushkil to hai par main ab unhe mana ke hi rahugi. Tu bas apna khayaal rakhna aur haa aisa kuch bhi mat karna jisse hame kisi ke samne sharminda hona pade. Tu samajh rahi hai na meri baat." Mom ne kaha to mujhe unki ye baat samajhne me der na lagi. Maine bas ji kah kar bata diya ki mujhe unki baat samajh me aa gai hai.
"Achha sun ratan ne bataya ki naina ke bare me tujhe bhi nahi pata hai ki wo kaha hai. Uske mata pita uske liye bahut pareshan aur dukhi hain." Mom ne kaha.
"Mujhe bhi uski chinta hai mom. Pata nahi kya hua hai uske sath. Mujhe to ratan bhaiya se hi pata chala tha ki wo bhi usi din se gayab hai jis din se main ghar se yaha aai thi." Maine kaha.
"Sanjay bhai sahab tere dad ke sath jane kaha kaha bhatakte rahte hain magar uske bare me kahi se kuch bhi pata nahi chal raha. Bhagwan kare wo jaha bhi ho sahi salamat ho. Achha ab tu phone rakh aur haa apna achhe se khayaal rakhna. Tu ab is bare me bilkul bhi chinta mat karna. Main tere dad se baat karugi aur unhe mana kar rahugi. Fir main tujhe bataaugi is bare me aur tujhe bula bhi lugi. Tab to tu aa jayegi na beti." Mom ne ye kah ke pucha to mere chehre par khushi ki chamak ubhar aai. Maine jaldi se kah diya ki bilkul aaugi mom. Main to chahti hi hu ki nakul ke sath meri shadi mere ghar walo ke samne unki khushi se ho.
Mom se baat karne ke baad aaj mujhe bahut achha feel ho raha tha. Khaas kar unki is baat se ki wo dad ko is bare me manayegi aur fir meri shadi nakul se karwayegi. Mujhe aisa lag raha tha ki main is khushi me wahi khule chhat par nachne lagu. Nakul ke paas aa kar maine use jagaya aur fir use mom se hui saari baate bata di. Sun kar nakul ke bhi chehre par halki khushi dikhne lagi thi.
"Aur agar tumhare dad na maane to." Nakul ne kaha.
"Mom ne kaha hai to wo unhe mana kar hi dam legi. Dad se sab darte hain. Mom bhi darti hain magar jab wo gusse me hoti hain to wo bhi kabhi kabhi dad se bhid jati hain. Mujhe pura yakeen hai jaan ki mom ne iske liye thaan liya hai to wo dad ko mana hi legi. Uske baad wo mujhe batayegi aur fir ham dono ko ghar aane ko kahegi. Ohh jaan agar aisa ho gaya to kitna achha hoga na. Ham dono ghar walo ki khushi se shadi karege aur fir hamesha ke liye ek ho jayege." Maine khushi se jhumte huye kaha to nakul bhi muskurane laga.
"Fir to ab hame yaha kisi police wale se bhi chhupne ki jarurat nahi hai." Nakul ne kaha.
"Are abhi mom ko dad se baat to kar lene do. Jab wo dad ko mana legi tab ham har baat se befikra ho jayege. Tab tak hame police se chhup ke hi rahna padega. Kya pata dad agar na maane to." Maine kaha.
"Chalo ab jo bhi hoga pata chal hi jayega. Agar tumhare dad hamari shadi ke liye maan jate hain to ham khud hi police ko ja kar apne bare me bata dege aur ghar walo se baat bhi karwa dege. Jab sab kuch thik ho jayega to fir mujhe bhi khul kar kahi koi naukari dhudhni hogi. Main bhi yahi chahuga ki shadi hone se pahle pahle mujhe kahi par achhi si job mil jaye. Jisse koi tumhare dad ko ye na kah sake ki unka damaad kamata dhamata nahi hai to wo unki beti ko kya khilayega pilayega aur kaise khush rakhega. Is liye mujhe sab thik hone ke baad kahi koi job jald se jald khojni hogi." Nakul ne kaha.
"Haa ye to hai. Main bhi nahi chahugi ki koi tume is baat ke liye kuch kahe aur tumhe sharminda kare." Maine kaha.
"Chalo ab niche chalte hain. Shaam ho gai hai. Uncle aunty sochege ki pata nahi ye dono upar kya kar rahe hain." Nakul ne kaha.
Ham dono uth gaye. Nakul ne dono gaddo ko sameta aur fir unhe le kar chal diya. Main bhi uske piche piche niche ki taraf chal padi. Mere man me rah rah kar mom ki baate gooj rahi thi. Main man hi man bhagwan se request kar rahi thi ki wo dad ko mana le jisse sab kuch thik ho jaye.
Ham dono niche aaye to dekha uncle ji kisi se baat kar rahe the. Us aadmi ki peeth hamari taraf thi is liye ham uska chehra nahi dekh sakte the. Main to andar ki taraf chali gai par nakul uncle ji ke paas hi rah gaya. Wo jaise hi us aadmi ke saamne aaya to dekha wo aadmi koi aur nahi balki deepak tha.
Deepak ko shaam ke is wakt yaha dekh kar nakul chauk pada tha. Uncle ji ne jab nakul ko dekha to wo nakul se bole ki beta tumhara dost tumse milne aaya hai to tum dono aapas me baate karo. Uncle ji itna kah kar apne kamre ki taraf chale gaye. Uncle ji ke jane ke baad nakul ne deepak ko upar chhat par chalne ko kaha to wo nakul ke sath chal diya.
"Aaj is wakt yaha kaise aana hua deepak bhai." Nakul ne chhat me aane ke baad deepak se pucha.
"Bas aise hi tumse milne ki ichchha hui to chala aaya bhai. Do din ki chhutti li hai. Tumhe bataya tha na ki meri makaan maalkin ne apne yaha se mujhe nikaal diya hai. Is liye unse do din ki mohlat maagi hai jisse kahi dusri jagah rahne ka thikana dhoodh saku. Aaj to sara din kamra dhudhne me hi gujar gaya magar kahi dhang ka thikana nahi mila. Kal fir se naye thikane ki talash me jaauga." Deepak ne kaha.
"Hamari vajah se tumhare sath ye sab hua hai bhai. Agar ham dono na hote to aaj tumhe is tarah kahi na jana padta." Nakul ne kaha.
"Isme tumhari koi galti nahi hai nakul bhai. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki meri makaan maalkin itni si baat par mujhe kamra khaali kar dene ko bol degi. Maine to apni taraf se tum dono ki bhalaai ke liye waha par raat rukne ke liye le gaya tha. Anyway ab jo hona tha wo to ho hi gaya. Kal tak ki mohlat mili hai mujhe to main kahi na kahi apne liye thikana khoj hi luga. Tum bataao bhai wo police wala fir se to dubara yaha nahi aaya." Deepak ne pucha.
"Abhi tak to nahi aaya wo magar mujhe pura yakeen hai ki wo aayega jarur. Kyo ki us din jab wo aaya tha to upar wale maale ki taraf aise dekh raha tha jaise use shak ho ki upar ke maale par kisi kamre me ham dono chhupe huye hoge." Nakul ne kaha.
"Bhai police walo ka koi bharosa nahi hota ki wo kab kya karne lage. Usne agar upar ki taraf dekha tha to fir jarur wo dubara bhi aa sakta hai. Is liye agar usne yaha aa kar har jagah ki talaashi li to fir tum dono uski pakad me aa hi jaaoge." Deepak ne kaha.
"Ham bhi yahi chahte hain ki wo yaha aa kar har jagah ki talaashi le le." Nakul ne kaha.
"Are aisa kyo chahte ho tum. Kya tumhe pakde jane ka dar nahi hai." Deepak hairaan tha ki nakul aisa kaise kah sakta hai.
"Hame to wo tab pakdega na deepak bhai jab wo hame yaha payega." Nakul ne kaha.
"Kya matlab." Deepak ne pucha.
"Matlab ye ki wo hame yaha khoj hi nahi payega. Kyo ki hamne apne chhupne ke liye bahut hi mast raasta aur tarika khoj liya hai. Ab to us police wale ke farishte bhi ham dono ko khoj nahi sakte." Nakul ne kaha.
"Aisa kaun sa tarika khoj liya hai tum logo ne." Deepak ne pucha.
"Hamne makaan ke piche taraf jo ye khaali jagah dikh rahi hai na to yahi par jameen me hamne ek bada sa gaddha khoda hai. Police wala jab ham dono ko yaha khojne aayega tab ham dono us gaddhe me chhup jayege. Hamare chhupne ke baad uncle ji us gaddhe ke upar ply aur kuch bhangaar ka tuta hua samaan rakh dege. Wo police wala yaha ham dono ko har jagah dhudhega lekin dhudh nahi payega. Wo ye soch hi nahi sakega ki ham dono jameen ke niche chhupe ho sakte hain." Nakul ne kaha.
"Waah kya jabardast tarika hai nakul bhai. Tumne sahi kaha ki wo police wala is bare me soch hi nahi sakta." Deepak ne muskura kar kaha.
"Bas ek baar wo police wala yaha aa kar talaashi le le. Uske baad jab use ham dono yaha nahi milege to wo dubara yaha nahi aayega. Kyo ki wo samajh jayega ki ham dono ya to yaha rahte nahi hain ya fir uske aane se pahle hi yaha se nikal gaye hain." Nakul ne kaha.
"Very good. Mujhe pura bharosa hai ki use yaha se khaali hath hi wapas jana padega. Achha nakul bhai ab main chalta hu. Wo kya hai na ki abhi mujhe khana khane ke liye kisi hotel ya dhaabe me jana padega. Iske pahle to makaan malkin ke yaha hi mere liye khana banta tha magar ab is sabki vajah se sab band ho chuka hai." Deepak ne kaha.
"Ab main kya kahu deepak bhai. Mujhe to bahut bura lag raha hai. Kyo ki tumhare sath ye jo kuch bhi hua hai uske jimmedar ham dono hi hain." Nakul ne kaha.
"Nahi dost isme tumhari koi galti nahi hai. Jo hona hota hai wo kisi na kisi reason se ho hi jata hai. Achha ab main chalta hu. Tum dono apna khayaal rakhna." Deepak ne kaha.
Nakul deepak ke sath niche baahar wale darwaje tak use chhodne aaya. Deepak ke jane ke baad nakul ne darwaja band kiya aur uncle ji ke kamre me chala gaya. Wo deepak ke bare me hi soch raha tha aur use is baat ka behad afsos ho raha tha ki un dono ki vajah se deepak ko uski makaan malkin ne apne ghar se nikaal diya hai.

Rohan us wakt apni car me sadak par tha aur red signal hone ki vajah se kai saari gaadiyo ke bich ruka hua tha. Uske chehre se aisa lag raha tha jaise kisi baat se pareshan ho. Car me wo akela hi tha. Thodi der me signal green hua aur jab aage wale waahan chalne lage to usne bhi apni car ko aage badha diya.
Kuch time baad rohan car se apne ghar pahucha. Mumbai ke khar me uska bada sa ghar tha. Gate ke paas jaise hi usne car roki uska mobile bajne laga. Gate par khade ek chaukidar ne gate khola to rohan car ko aage badha kar gate ke andar aa gaya. Is beech usne mobile me dekha ki screen par deepak ka call aa raha tha.
"Haa bhai kya situation hai waha ki." Rohan ne pucha.
"Situation apne control me hi hai bhai. Abhi main us nakul se mil kar hi aa raha hu. Uski ek baat se mujhe ab tak hasi aa rahi hai rohan bhai." Deepak ne haste huye kaha.
"Kya usne koi funny joke suna diya tumhe." Rohan ne pucha.
"Sahi kaha bhai. Meri najar me uski wo baat funny joke jaisi hi thi. Jab maine usse police wale ke bare me pucha to usne bataya ki usne police wale se bachne ke liye bahut achha tarika banaya hai. Usne jameen me ek gaddha khoda hai. Jab police wala un dono ko waha dhudhne aayega to wo dono us gadde me chhup jayege. Uska kahna hai ki police wala soch hi nahi sakta ki wo dono jameen ke niche chhupe ho sakte hain." Deepak ne fir se haste huye kaha.
"Kafi tagda dimaag lagaya hai usne magar wo khud ye nahi soch sakta ki usne jisse ye sab bataya hai wahi ye sab kar raha hai. Anyway ek tarah se achha hi hua ki tum uske paas chale gaye the. Warna uski ye jankari tumhe bhi na hoti." Rohan ne kaha.
"Haa ye to hai bhai. Waise ab kya kahte ho bhai. Aaj fir us police wale ko waha bheju. Mujhe lagta hai ki aaj un dono ko pakadwa hi du." Deepak ne kaha.
"Yahi behtar hoga bhai. Ab aur jyada time barbad nahi karna hai hame. Tum us police wale ko sab kuch samjha dena. Us police wale ka kaam sirf itna hoga ki wo un dono ko waha se pakad kar giraftaar kar le aur fir apne sath unhe le aaye. Uske baad kisi tarah wo un dono ko behosh kar de. Tum bhi ek taxi kiraye par le kar ke uske piche hi rahna. Jaise hi wo police wala un dono ko behosh kar dega to tum un dono ko apni taxi me shift kar lena. Uske baad raato raat pune se mumbai ki taraf chal dena." Rohan ne kaha.
"Thik hai rohan bhai. Main aisa hi karuga. Abhi us police wale ko call kar ke sab kuch samjhata hu." Deepak ne kaha.
"Jab wo dono tumhari taxi me behoshi ki haalat me shift ho jaye to ek baar mujhe bhi is baat ki information de dena." Rohan ne kaha.
"Okay boss." Deepak ne kaha to rohan ne call cut kar diya.
Deepak se baat karne ke baad rohan ke hotho par badi kutil muskaan ubhar aai. Man hi man usne kaha...bas bahut ghum fir liye tum dono. Ab wapas chalne ka wakt aa gaya hai. Yahi sab sochte huye wo car se niche utra aur fir ghar ke andar ki taraf chal diya.
.....
Divya ke dad ashok tripathi SP ke cabin me uske samne wali kursi par baithe the. Ashok uncle ne SP ko akhbar dikhaya aur usse kaha ki akhbar me neelam aur nakul ki tasvir dhudhli hai is liye kyo na news paper chhaapne wale ke paas chala jaye.
Ashok uncle ki baate sunne ke baad SP ko bhi laga ki baat thik hai. Ashok uncle ne SP ko sari baat pahle hi bata di thi ki maamla neelam aur nakul ko khojna hi bas nahi hai balki is baat ka pata lagana bhi hai ki naina aur neelam dono ko jaal me fasane wala kaam kisne kiya hai. Naina ki to kismat achhi thi jo wo un logo ki kaid se faraar ho kar yaha aa gai thi magar neelam par abhi bhi unka khatra hai. Is liye unhe khojne ke sath sath un logo ka bhi pata lagana jaruri hai jo naina aur neelam ko is tarah se pakadna chaah rahe hain.
"Agar un logo ka kaam in dono ladkiyo ko apne jaal me faasna hi hai to hame bahut soch kar aur samhal kar har kaam karna hoga mr ashok." SP ne kaha.
"Haa main samajhta hu is baat ko aur isi liye main direct aapke paas hi aaya hu. Yaha ke kisi thane ke mamuli police walo ke paas main nahi gaya. Kyo ki in dono ko yahi bheja gaya hai. Yaani ki yaha par bhi un logo ke aadmi hoge. Aise me agar main thane me ja kar report darj karwata to ho sakta hai ki un logo ko is baat ka pata aapke hi department ke kisi police wale se chal jaye." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Yes you are right mr ashok. Baat kadvi jarur hai lekin main apne police department ko janta hu. Isme koi na koi police wala rishwat le kar jurm karne walo ka sath jarur deta hai. Aapne mere paas aa kar bahut achha kiya. Lekin mere dimaag me ek baat aur bhi hai." SP ne kaha.
"Kaun si baat." Ashok uncle ne pucha.
"Aapke anusar neelam ke dad ne news paper me in dono ki khabar nahi chhapwai to fir yahi ho sakta hai ki ye kaam un badmasho ka hi kiya hoga jo ki hajam hone wali baat nahi hai magar unke siva dusra koi aisa kyo karega. Ab agar ham direct news paper wale ke paas is baat ki puchtaach karne jate hain to ho sakta hai ki waha par hame kuch bhi pata na chale. Jin logo ne ye sab kiya hai wo koi mamuli log nahi hoge is liye mujhe lagta hai ki ya to un logo ne news wale ko dher sara paisa de kar news chhapwai hogi jisme un logo ne in dono ki tasvir news wale ko dikhai hogi aur fir wo tasvir wapas apne sath hi le gaye hoge. Ya fir news wale ko ye kah gaye hoge ki agar is news se related koi person uske paas aaye to wo use unke bare me koi information na de." SP ne kaha.
"Haa aisa bhi ho sakta hai magar fir bhi hame ek baar waha ja kar is bare me pata to karna hi chahiye. Kya pata jis baat ki ham abhi baat kar rahe hain waisi koi baat hi na ho. I mean ki un badmasho ne itni door tak na socha ho." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Aapki baat bhi thik hai. To fir chaliye dekhte hain kya pata chalta hai waha par." SP ne kaha aur fir wo apni kursi se khada ho gaya.
Ashok uncle aur wo SP car me news paper wale ki taraf chal pade. Kuch time baad wo dono news wale ke yaha pahuch gaye. Kismat achhi thi kyo ki jaise hi dono waha pahuche to dekha ki waha ka head apni car me baith kar kahi jane ki taiyari me tha. News wala SP ko pahchanta tha is liye wo ruk gaya. SP ne use car se baahar nikalne ko kaha aur usse jaruri baat karne ki baat kahi.
Waha ka head SP ki baat sun kar car se baahar aa gaya aur fir un dono ko office me aane ko kaha. Kuch der me wo teeno office me the. Waha ke head ne SP se chaay paani ke liye pucha aur apne kisi karmchari ko jal paan laane ko bol diya.
"Ab bataiye SP sahab kaun si jaruri baat karni thi aapko." Us aadmi ne SP se kaha.
"Maamla thodi serious hai janab. Hame aapse ek help chahiye." SP ne kaha.
"Kamaal hai sarkar. Log police se help ki ummid rakhte hain aur yaha aap mujhse help ki baat kar rahe hain. Anyway kahiye kaisi help chahte hain aap." Us aadmi ne kaha.
"17 September ka news paper hai ye. Isme ye jo ladka ladki hain. In dono ki hame tasvir chahiye aur ye bhi bataiye ki in dono ki khabar chhaapne ke liye aapse kisne kaha tha. Hame uski puri detail chahiye." SP ne apne sath laya hua wo akhbar us aadmi ke samne rakhne ke baad kaha tha.
"Aakhir baat kya hai sarkar." Us aadmi ne pucha.
"Bas ye samajh lijiye janab ki maamla serious hai. Is liye mujhe puri ummid hai ki main jin chijo ki aapse help maag raha hu wo help aap jarur karege." SP ne kaha.
"Time lagega sarkar. Mujhe pata karwana padega is sabke bare me. Aap mujhe aaj bas ka time dijiye. Main puri koshish karuga ki kal subah tak aapka kaam ho jaye. Agar hamare paas inki tasvire hogi to main jarur un tasviro ko aapke hawaale kar duga aur is baat ka bhi pata lagwaauga ki in dono ki khabar news paper par kisne chhaapne ko kaha tha." Us aadmi ne kaha.
"Okay take your time. Jaise hi aapko pata chale mujhe fauran inform kar dena." SP ne kaha.
"Aap tension mat lijiye sarkar. Agar hamare paas ye sab jankari aur saboot hain to wo aapko jarur mil jayege." News wale ne kaha.
News wale se ijajat le kar ashok uncle aur SP uske office se baahar aa gaye aur waapas car me baith kar chal diye. Raste me dono isi bare me baat karte huye ja rahe the. Kuch der me ashok uncle ne SP ko uske kahne par ek jagah car se utara aur fir wo ghar aa gaye. Ashok uncle jab ghar aaye to unhone sabko saari baat bataai. Jise sun kar naina divya aur saroj aunty is bare me sochne lagi. News wale ne kal tak ka time liya tha is liye ab sab kuch usi par depend tha.
Raat me main aur nakul dinner kar ke upar chhat par sone ke liye aa gaye the. Nakul ne mujhe pahle hi bata diya tha ki uski deepak se kya baate hui thi. Mujhe bhi deepak ke liye achha nahi feel ho raha tha. Usko hamari vajah se dusri jagah rahne ke liye koi kamra khojna pad raha tha lekin ab ham iske liye kar bhi kya sakte the.
Khule chhat par gaddo me ham dono hi lete huye the aur ab need ke aane ka intjar kar rahe the. Mujhe aunty ji ki baat yaad aai to main usi bare me sochne lagi. Aaj aunty ji ne mujhse kaha tha ki jab tak tum dono ki shadi nahi ho jati tab tak ek dusre ke najdik mat jana. Aunty ji ke kahne ka matlab main samajh gai thi is liye maine unse bata diya tha ki ham dono ne khud is bare me pahle hi ek dusre se bol kar faisla le chuke hain. Aunty ji ne mere chehre ko pyar se sahla kar bas yahi kaha tha ki aise hi samajhdari se rahna.
Mom se baat karne ke baad mere andar se ek bojh sa hat gaya tha aur achha bhi feel ho raha tha. Ratan bhaiya sach me bahut achhe the. Iske pahle main un par shak kar rahi thi jabki unhone meri bhalaai ke liye hi mujhe mobile diya tha. Jab bhi mujhe is baat ka khayaal aata to mujhe ek aatmglaani si hoti thi ki maine ratan bhaiya par shak kiya tha. Maine faisla kar liya tha ki jab bhi main ratan bhaiya se milugi to sabse pahle unse maafi maagugi. Mujhe pura yakin tha ki wo mujhe apne gale se laga kar fauran hi maaf kar dege.
Aaj bhi aasman saaf tha aur taare timtima rahe the. Nakul so gaya tha magar mujhe need nahi aa rahi thi. Rah rah kar mere man me duniya jahaan ki baate chalne lagti thi. Naina ka khayaal aata to uske bare me sochne lagti ki wo is wakt kaha aur kis haal me hogi. Aakhir uske gayab hone ke piche kya vajah ho sakti hai. Uske mom dad uske liye kitne pareshan hoge. Fir bhatakte huye man me apne bare me khayaal aa jata ki kaise prem ke haatho majbur ho kar ham dono ghar se bhaag kar mumbai aaye aur fir ekdam se hamari life me kya kya hone laga. Jab se ham yaha aaye the tab se ab tak ek pal ke liye bhi ham chain aur sukun se nahi rah paye the. Koi na koi problem hamare liye tension le kar khadi hi rahi.
Uncle aunty ji ka khayaal aata to sochne lagti ki wo dono kitne achhe the jo hamare liye kitna kuch kar rahe the. Aise nekdil insaan ke bachche unke sath aisa bartaav kaise kar sakte the ki kabhi unki khabar hi na le. Man me duniya jahaan ki baato ki kataar si lagi hui thi aur fir jane kab meri aakh lag gai.
Mujhe soye huye shayad kuch hi wakt gujra tha ki ekdam se mujhe hadbada kar uth jana pada. Yahi haal nakul ka bhi hua tha. Hamne dekha ki hamare paas hi aunty ji jhuki hui khadi hain aur unke chehre par chinta jhalak rahi thi. Jaise hi ham dono jage to unhone kaha ki tum dono jaldi se utho aur niche ja kar us gaddhe me chhup jaao. Kyo ki niche baahar side do police wale hamari talash me aaye huye hain.
Aunty ji ki is baat se ham dono ki aakho se need ki khumaari gayab ho gai aur ham dono hi tension me aa gaye. Ham dono jaldi se uthe. Nakul ne mujhe is taraf ki seedhi se niche jane ko kaha aur khud dono bichhe huye gaddo ko uthane laga. Mujhe pata tha ki hamare paas wakt bilkul bhi nahi hai. Aunty ji ne bataya ki niche uncle ji un dono police walo ko samjha rahe hain ki ham dono yaha nahi hain.
Main aur aunty ji badi teji se is taraf ki seedhiyo se niche utar gaye. Jaha par nakul ne gaddha khoda tha waha ki jameen par abhi nami thi. Is taraf adhera bhi tha lekin itna nahi tha ki kuch dikhe hi nahi. Us gaddhe ke upar rakhe bhangaar ke tute fute samaan ko maine aur aunty ji ne jaldi jaldi hatana shuru kiya. Abhi ham samaan hata hi rahe the ki nakul bhi aa gaya. Wo upar ke ek kamre me un gaddo ko rakh ke aaya tha. Aate hi usne bhi samaan hatane me hamari help ki. Kuch hi der me samaan hat gaya to ham dono jaldi se us gaddhe me utar gaye. Jab ham dono gaddhe me utar aaye to aunty ji ne do pipe ko usme daal kar ply ko hamare upar rakh diya. Dono pipe ke dusre chhor baahar nikle huye the jisse andar hame saas lene me problem na ho.
Aunty ji ne hamare upar sara samaan rakh diya aur fir wo waha se fauran hi chali gai. Idhar gaddhe ke andar ham dono hi buri tarah ghabraye baithe huye the. Hamari dhadkane train ki speed se chal rahi thi. Har gujarte pal ke sath hamare andar ek dar aur bhi jyada gahrata ja raha tha. Pata nahi uncle ji un dono police walo ko rok payege ya nahi. Wo police wale hame kaha kaha dhudhege. Ham bhale hi ye jante the ki wo police wale is jagah par hamare hone ki kalpana nahi kar sakte magar is wakt man me ye khayaal bhi shanka ki tarah ban raha tha ki wo log kahi is gaddhe me bhi dekhne na aa jaye.
Main aur nakul apni apni saase roke gaddhe me chhupe baithe the. Hame is baat ka kuch pata nahi chal raha tha ki upar waha par kya ho raha hai. Do teen minute jab gujar gaye aur is taraf koi nahi aaya to jaise hamari jaan me jaan aani shuru ho gai.
"Kahi wo log hame dhudhte huye yaha na aa jaye nakul." Maine dare huye lahje me dhire se nakul se kaha.
"Aisa nahi hoga neelam. Wo to ye soch bhi nahi sakege ki jinhe wo pure ghar me dhudhte fir rahe hain wo yaha gaddhe me chhupe huye hoge. Is liye tum is baat ki chinta mat karo. Main to ye soch raha hu ki jab tak wo police wale hame waha par dhudh rahe hain tab tak hame ilu ilu karna chahiye." Nakul ne dhire se haste huye kaha.
"Paagal ho gaye ho kya tum. Yaha hamari jaan par bani hui hai aur tumhare man me ilu ilu chal raha hai." Maine kaha.
"Don't worry dear. Wo log hame nahi pakad payege. Unhe hamare yaha hone ki koi ummid nahi ho sakti. Is liye bol raha hu ki chinta chhodo aur chalo ham dono yaha par thoda ilu ilu karte huye masti karte hain." Nakul ne kaha aur mera kandha pakad liya.
"Tum bhi had karte ho nakul. Tum is wakt masti ke bare me soch bhi kaise sakte ho. Mujhe to bahut jyada tension ho rahi hai. Aisa feel ho raha hai jaise ki wo log abhi yaha par aa dhamkege aur hame pakad lege." Maine kaha.
"Tum faaltu me itna dar rahi ho yaar. Aisa kuch bhi nahi hoga. Agar jyada dar lag raha hai tumhe to fir tumhe ilu ilu jarur karna chahiye kyo ki is tarah me tumhare andar se dar nikal jayega aur tumhe is situation me maja bhi aane lagega. Ab ye sab chhodo aur chalo aa jaao meri baaho me." Nakul ne kaha aur mujhe apni taraf khichne laga magar main uske khichne par uski taraf na gai. Meri dhadkane badhti hi ja rahi thi. Har pal aisa lag raha tha jaise ab ham pakde gaye.
Nakul mujhe samjhata raha aur aakhir main uski khushi ke liye uske kareeb aa hi gai. Mere man se dar gaya nahi tha magar main nahi chahti thi ki meri vajah se nakul ka mood kharaab ho is liye main khisak kar uske paas aa gai. Jab main uske paas aa gai to usne mujhe apne se chhupka liya. Maine bhi apne hath badha kar uske gale me daal diya jisse use ye na lage ki main uska sath nahi de rahi.
"Main janta hu ki is wakt tum dari hui ho dear aur sach to ye hai ki andar se main bhi utna hi dara hua hu magar jara socho ki darne se kya hoga. Is liye hame apne andar se dar nikaalne ke liye us bare me sochna hi nahi chahiye aur ye tabhi hoga jab ham is situation me thodi masti type ki harkate kare." Nakul ne kaha.
Maine nakul ki is baat par hmmm kaha aur udhar nakul meri peeth par haath ferna shuru kar diya. Gaddhe ke andar adhera tha. Ham dono ek dusre ka kuch bhi nahi dekh sakte the magar ek dusre ki baaho me hone ki vajah se feel jarur kar sakte the.
"Kya main tumhare hotho ko chum sakta hu." Nakul ne mere kaan ke paas dhire se kaha.
"Par tumhe to fir hosh hi nahi rahta kisi baat ka aur fir tum had se aage badh jate ho." Maine bhi dhire se kaha.
"Agar main had se aage badhne lagu to tum mujhe rok lena jaise us din rok liya tha." Nakul ne kaha.
"Thik hai." Maine kaha to nakul ne tatol kar apne hatho se mere chehre ko pakda aur fir thodi hi der me mujhe apne chehre par uski garm saase feel hone lagi. Main samajh gai ki uska chehra mere chehre ke ekdam paas me hi aa gaya hai aur ab wo mere hotho ko chumne wala hai. Is baat se meri dhadkane fir se tej ho gai aur mere jism ka roya roya jhanjhana utha.
Kuch hi palo me mere hotho se nakul ke hoth chhu gaye aur fir wo mere hotho ko chumne laga. Mere badan me meethi meethi si lahar daudne lagi. Mujhse raha na gaya to main bhi uska sath dene lagi. Maine bhi uske chehre ko dono hatho se pakad liya aur uska sath dene lagi. Raat ke is wakt jameen ke niche ham dono ek dusre ke hotho ko chum rahe the. Is situation me agar koi hame is tarah dekhe to wo hamare bare me jane kya soche. Uncle aunty to hame dekh kar yahi kahege ki hamse hamare jism ki garmi samhaali nahi ja rahi hai jo aise wakt par bhi ham ye sab kar rahe hain.
Main aur nakul ab sab kuch bhool chuke the. Dhire dhire ye chumban pagalapan me badalta ja raha tha. Ham dono ek dusre ke jism ko sahlate ja rahe the. Nakul kabhi mere hotho ko chumta to kabhi meri gardan par chumne lagta. Main uske is tarah chumne se machle ja rahi thi aur uske sir ke baalo ko khichne lagi thi. Nakul ke hath kabhi mere chehre ko pakad lete to kabhi kandhe se ho kar meri peeth par pahuch jate.
Ham dono ki saase tej hoti ja rahi thi. Aisa lag raha tha jaise is gaddhe me koi sarp funkaar maar raha ho. Ham is baat ko puri tarah bhul chuke the ki ham kis halaat me yaha par maujud hain. Agar hamari saaso ki awaaj gaddhe se baahar is tarah jayegi to wo jarur raat ke is shaant watawaran me kisi ke kaano tak ja sakti hai.
Meri gardan ko chumte huye nakul niche ki taraf mere sine ke khule huye bhaag par chumne laga. Mere badan me masti si chadhti ja rahi thi jo mujhe romanchit kar rahi thi. Maine kurta pahan rakha tha jiska gala thoda bada tha. Nakul ka hath mere kandhe aur baaju tak aata aur fir wapas chala jata tha. Sine par chumne ke baad nakul fir upar aa kar mere gardan ko chumte huye mere hotho par aa jata. Jab wo hotho ko chumta to main bhi uske hotho ko muh me bhar leti aur uske hotho ko chumne lagti.
Abhi ham dono ilu ilu kar hi rahe the ki tabhi ek awaaj se ham dono hadbada gaye aur ek dusre se alag ho gaye. Hamare andar ki saari masti aur sara nasha door ho gaya. Tabhi hamare kaano me ek awaaj padi. Hamne saaf suna ki ye awaaj kisi dusre aadmi ki thi jo kah raha tha ki yaha ye kaisa samaan pada hua hai. Is awaaj ke baad jaldi hi uncle ji ki awaaj aai. Wo kah rahe the ki ye ghar ka tuta futa samaan tha is liye yaha par ise fek diya hai hamne. Ek do din me ise baahar fekne ka soch rahe the ham.
"Yaha jameen par to kisi ke chalne ke nishaan bane huye hain jo abhi ke lagte hain." Ek aadmi ki awaaj aai.
"Sahi kaha chandrakant. Ye abhi ke hi nishaan lagte hain. Dekho to aisa lagta hai jaise yaha par do teen log aaye the aur ek jagah par hi khade rahe ho." Dusre aadmi ki awaaj aai.
"Are ye nishaan mere aur meri patni ke hain. Darasal ham dono aaj shaam ko hi ye samaan andar se la kar yaha rakh ke jama rahe the. Ye usi wakt ke nishaan hain." Uncle ji ki ghabrai hui awaaj aai.
"Par tumhare jooto ke nishaan to in nishaano se alag dikh rahe hain. Iska matlab tum hamse jhuth bol rahe ho." Ek aadmi bol pada.
"Are nahi hawaldar sahab. Ye to mere dusre wale jute hain jo maine pahne hain." Uncle ji ne jaldi se kaha.
"Mujhe tum par yakin nahi ho raha. Aye chandrakant jara is samaan ko hata to yaha se." Dusre wale ki awaaj aai.
Idhar gaddhe ke andar chhupe ham dono ke hosh ud chuke the. Yaha ke is adhere me bhi hame ek alag tarah ka adhera dikhaai dene laga tha. Ham dono samajh chuke the ki ab hame koi nahi bacha sakta. Kyo ki hame samaan hataye jane ki awaaj saaf sunaai de rahi thi. Uncle ji baar baar kahe ja rahe the ki aap log bekaar me hi ye samaan hata rahe hain. Yaha aisa kuch bhi nahi hai magar wo log ruk nahi rahe the. Idhar ham dono ko lag raha tha ki kaash ye jameen fat jaye aur ham dono usi me sama jaye.
Thodi hi der me bhangaar wala samaan hat gaya aur fir ply bhi hat gai. Uske baad torch jali to uski roshni me ham dono hi naha gaye. Ham dono ka luka chhipi ka khel ab khatm ho chuka tha. Ham dono aise baithe rah gaye the jaise ab ham dono ke andar praan hi na ho.
"Are ye kya. Ye to kamaal ho gaya. Ye dono to yaha chhupe baithe hain. Maanna padega dono ko. Haramkhoro ne apne chhupne ke liye jameen me gaddha bana rakha tha. Kyo be buddhe tu to kah raha tha ki yaha koi nahi hai to ye kaun hain. Police ko gumraah karne ki ab saja milegi tujhe." Hawaldar ne gusse se kaha to uncle ji kuch na bol sake. Unka chehra aise latak gaya tha jaise unka sab kuch lut gaya ho.
"Tum dono aise hi baithe rahoge ya sasuraal bhi chaloge." Dusre hawaldar ne tej awaaj me kaha to ham dono chup chaap apni jagah se uthe aur gaddhe se baahar aa gaye. Hamare samne do police wale hamara kaal ban kar khade the. Is wakt hame aisa lag raha tha jaise hamare liye ab kuch nahi bacha hai. Maine nakul ki taraf dekha to use kisi gahri soch me dube huye paya. Jaise soch raha ho ki kahi wo koi khwaab to nahi dekh raha. Kyo ki use pura yakeen tha ki police wale ye soch bhi nahi sakte the ki ham dono yaha gaddhe me chhupe ho sakte hain to fir ye koi sapna hi hoga lekin ye sapna nahi tha balki kadwa sach tha.
Dono police walo ne hame apne kabje me le liya. Uncle ji se bole ki hamara jo bhi samaan yaha hai use fauran hi le aao. Uncle ji bechare kya karte. Wo chup chaap andar gaye aur hamare bag la kar police walo ko de diya. Jate jate ek police wale ne uncle ji se kaha ki kal wo fir aayega aur use police ko gumraah karne ke liye giraftar kar ke le jayega.
Uncle ji jab andar gaye the to unhone aunty ji ko bhi sab bata diya tha. Aunty ji ko jab pata chala ki police walo ne hame pakad liya hai to unhe chakkar sa aa gaya tha. Wo bhaagte huye hamare paas aai thi aur jab unhone hame police walo ke sath dekha to unki aakho se aashu bah chale the.
Maine chalte chalte uncle aunty ji se bas yahi kaha ki aapne hamare liye bahut kuch kiya hai. Hamare liye afsos mat kijiyega. Bas dua kijiyega ki ham dono ek dusre se kabhi alag na ho. Meri is baat se uncle ji ki bhi aankho me aashu bhar aaye. Unhone mujhse kaha ki wo hamare liye kuch na kuch jarur karege.
Police wale ham dono ko le kar ghar se baahar aa gaye. Baahar police ki ek jeep khadi thi jisme ham dono ko baithaya gaya. Uske baad jeep aage badh chali. Maine piche mud ke dekha to uncle aunty ji ghar ke darwaje par khade aashu baha rahe the. Unhe dekh kar meri bhi aakhe chhalak padi. Itne dino me unse ek rishta ban gaya tha jo ki mata pita jaisa tha. Wo ham dono ko apna beta beti maante the aur ham bhi unhe apne mata pita ki tarah manne lage the. Un dono ke rahte huye hame aisa lagta hi nahi tha ki ham apne ghar se door kisi ajnabi shahar me kisi anjaan byakti ke ghar me rah rahe hain.
Police ki jeep aage badhti ja rahi thi. Nakul abhi bhi kisi soch me duba hua tha. Jaise use sadma lag gaya ho. Maine use hilaya to usne meri taraf dekha. Uske chehre par is wakt duniya bhar ki bebasi aur udaasi thi. Aankho me sunapan tha. Maine uske chehre par pyar se hath fera aur isharo se hi kaha ki koi baat nahi jaan. Ab jo bhi hoga use ham dono sath sath hi jhelege.
Police ki jeep ek dusre raaste par mud gai. Ham dono chup chaap baithe huye the. Ham jante the ki ye log hame police thane le ja rahe hain is liye unse kuch bolne ka koi matlab hi nahi tha. Wo dono police wale bhi chup hi the jo hamare liye hairani ki baat thi. Ham to ye soch kar dar rahe the ki ye log pata nahi hame kya kya kahege magar wo dono hi chup the.
Is raaste par halka adhera tha. Raasta bhi sunsaan dikh raha tha. Is raaste par kuch door chalne ke baad achanak jeep ki speed dhimi ho gai aur fir kuch hi der me ruk bhi gai. Mujhe laga shayad police station aa gaya hai is liye ham dono ne idhar udhar dekha magar police station hame najar na aaya.
"Ham dono bathroom kar ke aate hain. Tum dono jeep me hi baithe rahna. Agar bhaagne ke bare me socha to samajh lena ki tum dono ke sath bilkul bhi achha nahi hoga. Samajh gaye na tum dono." Ek police wale ne hamse kaha to ham dono ne haa me apna sir hila diya. Waise bhi ab yaha se bhaag kar ham jate bhi kaha.
Dono police wale apni apni side se jeep se utar gaye aur jeep ke piche ki taraf alag alag side me aage badh gaye. Unke jane ke baad maine nakul ki taraf dekha. Usne bhi meri taraf dekha.
"Chinta mat karo neelam. Ye log hame isi liye pakad kar le ja rahe hain kyo ki ham dono ghar se bhaag kar yaha aaye hain. Mujhe lagta hai ki tumhare dad ne hi hamare bare me news me khabar chhapwaai thi. Police ka network bahut bada hota hai. Unhe jab ham mumbai me na mile hoge to wo hame yaha pune me talash karne aa gaye aur ab wo hame police station le jayege. Uske baad wo tumhare dad ko hamare mil jane ki suchna dege aur fir tumhare dad yaha aa kar hame le jayege." Nakul ne kaha.
"Mom ne mujhse kaha tha ki wo dad ko hamari shadi ke liye mana kar hi rahegi. Is liye ab agar dad hame yaha se ghar wapas le bhi gaye to hame isme darne ki jarurat nahi hai." Maine kaha.
Nakul kuch kahne hi wala tha ki tabhi uske bagal wale darwaje se ek hawaldar aaya aur nakul ki naak par apna ek hath rakh diya. Dusre hath se usne nakul ka sir majbuti se pakad liya. Nakul uski is harkat se buri tarah chhatpatane laga aur main use dekh kar buri tarah chikhne hi wali thi ki tabhi piche se kisi ne mujhe bhi nakul ki tarah pakad liya. Meri naak me koi kapde jaisi chij thi jo kisi ke hath me dabi hui thi. Main buri tarah chhatpata rahi thi magar us pakad se chhoot nahi pa rahi thi. Tabhi maine dekha ki nakul ka chhatpatana ruk gaya hai aur wo ekdam se dhila pad gaya hai. Kuch hi palo me meri bhi aakhe band hone lagi aur main behosh ho gai. Mere kaano me kisi ke hasne aur kuch aisa kahne ki awaaj padi jisne mere badan ko ek jhatka de diya tha.
......
Rohan apne flat me apni girlfriend ke sath tha aur is wakt wo uske sath apne kamre me bed par leta hua tha. Dono chaadar ke andar nange hi soye huye the. Uski girlfriend ke sine ke ek taraf se chaadar hati hui thi jisse uska ek taraf ka vaksh open tha. Sundar sa chehra is wakt masumiyat se bhara hua tha lekin baal bikhre huye the. Kamre me mobile ke bajne ki awaaj gooj rahi thi. Wo mobile kafi der se baj raha tha. Ring puri hone ke baad uska bajna band ho jata aur fir wo dubara bajne lagta tha. Mobile ke bajne se rohan ki girlfriend halka sa kunmunati aur fir shaant pad jati magar is baar shayad uski need khul gai thi. Usne apni aakhe kholi aur bagal se pade rohan ko hila hila kar awaaj dene lagi. Uski awaaj me need ki khumaari thi.
Rohan ki need tuti to usne pucha kya hua to us ladki ne bataya ki uska mobile baj raha hai. Rohan ne kaha ki dekho kis ka phone hai. Rohan ke kahne par ladki ne bura sa muh banaya aur fir chaadar ko apne badan se hata kar bed se niche utar gai. Chaadar ke hat jane se uska nanga badan light ki roshni me saaf dikhne laga tha. Bed ke paas hi rohan ka paint pada hua tha jisme uska mobile baj raha tha. Ladki ne paint ki jeb se mobile nikala aur bina screen ki taraf dekhe mobile ko rohan ki taraf uchhaal diya. Uske baad usne rohan se kaha ki khud hi dekh lo kis ka phone hai. Ye kah kar wo attach bathroom ki taraf chali gai.
Rohan ne mobile me dekha ki deepak ka phone hai to uske chehre par ekdam se chamak aa gai aur fir usne jaldi se call attend kar liya.
"Haa bhai kya haal hain udhar ke. Kaam hua ki nahi." Rohan ne pucha.
"Kaam to hona hi tha boss. Wo dono is wakt mere sath hain aur main mumbai aa raha hu unhe le kar. Abhi raaste me hi hu." Deepak ne kaha.
"Very good. Koi problem to nahi hui na." Rohan ne pucha.
"Nahi boss. Koi problem nahi hui. Sab kuch waisa hi hua jaisa maine us police wale ko samjhaya tha. Hawaldar ne bataya ki ye dono use gaddhe me hi chhupe mile the. Shuru me usne dikhane ke liye pahle ghar me har jagah inhe talaash kiya tha uske baad piche ke us hisse ki taraf gaye jaha par inhone apne chhipne ke liye gaddha banaya hua tha." Deepak ne kaha.
"Hahaha wo gaddha nahi banaya tha bhai balki wo to in logo ne apne liye kabra banaai thi. Waise jab wo dono police ki pakad me aaye hoge to unki haalat dekhne laayak rahi hogi." Rohan ne haste huye kaha.
"Sahi kaha rohan bhai. Hawaldar bata raha tha ki us wakt dono ki haalat aisi ho gai thi jaise ki inki jaan hi nikal gai ho." Deepak ne kaha.
"Hahahaha aisa to hona hi tha un saalo ke sath. Bahut mana kar rahe the na yaha aane ke liye. Unhe kya pata ki unhe yaha waapas lane me mujhe ek minute bhi nahi lagega." Rohan ne haste huye kaha.
"Ghee ko to tedhi ugli karne se hi nikalna tha boss. Isi liye to wo bevkuf mere samjhane par yaha aane ke liye raaji nahi ho raha tha. Use samjhane ke liye mujhe ek jhooth ye bhi bolna pada ki meri makaan maalkin ne mujhe unki vajah se apne ghar se nikaal diya hai aur ab main apne rahne ke liye kahi dusri jagah khoj raha hu. Ye sab usse is liye kaha tha taaki wo dono mere liye afsos kare aur unhe aatmglaani ho jisse unke man me ye baat bhi aa jaye ki ab unhe mera kahna maan lena chahiye. Magar aisa nahi hua." Deepak ne kaha.
"Chalo koi baat nahi. Tedhi ugli karne se hi sahi magar ab to wo yaha aa hi rahe hain na. Is baar main achhe se swagat karuga un dono ka. Us nakul ke samne hi uski hone wali biwi ko nanga karuga aur uske husn ka paan karuga." Rohan ne kaha.
"Mujhe bhi uske husn ka paan karne ka mauka dena boss. Kasam se uske jaisi khubsurat ladki maine aaj tak nahi dekhi. Use dekhte hi use kha jane ka man karta hai." Deepak ne kaha.
"Hahaha thik hai thik hai. Tum bhi uske maje le lena. Waise bhi use jyada dino tak apne paas nahi rakhna hai kyo ki use apne paas rakhne se panga ho jayega. Waise mera man to yahi tha ki use hamesha ke liye apne paas hi rakhu magar wo mere dad ke dost ki beti nikli. Mujhe to iska pata hi nahi tha. Is liye use jaldi hi us arbi rahman ke hawaale karna padega." Rohan ne kaha.
"Aur uske hone wale pati nakul ka kya karoge boss." Deepak ne pucha.
"Uske bare me bhi soch liya hai maine. Rajesh ne bataya tha ki uska apni family me koi nahi hai. Is liye agar uske sath kuch ho bhi gaya to koi uski khabar lene nahi aayega. Pahle use pyar se samjhaauga aur apne dhandhe me lagne ka use offer duga. Maan gaya to thik hai warna fir ek hi raasta hai. Yaani ki hamesha ke liye use gayab kar dena." Rohan ne kaha.
"Ye jyada thik rahega boss. Kyo ki apni girlfriend ke sath aisa hone ke baad uske man me hamare liye badle ki bhavna hi rahegi. Aise me wo kabhi bhi hamara nuksan kar sakta hai." Deepak ne kaha.
"Bola na ki last me wahi raasta hoga lekin pahle use samjhauga ki agar wo hamare dhandhe me lag jayega to uski life me kisi bhi chij ki kami nahi rahegi. Duniya me ladkiyo ki kami nahi hai. Ek ladki ke jane se kuch nahi hota. Mujhe yakin hai ki jab wo itne sare paise ki aur aisho araam ki kalpana karega to wo khushi khushi hamare dhandhe me aa jayega." Rohan ne kaha.
"Thik hai boss jaisa tumhe thik lage karo. Main to un dono ko le kar aa hi raha hu. Kaash main ek pal me un dono ko le kar tumhare paas pahuch jaau aur fir is husn ki mallika se maje karu." Deepak ne kaha.
"Dhiraj rakh bhai. Tumhari ichha jarur puri hogi. Chalo ab rakhta hu phone. Morning me mulakaat hogi ab." Rohan ne kaha.
"Okay good night boss." Deepak ne ye kaha to rohan ne bhi use good night kaha aur fir call cut kar di usne.
Rohan ke chere par is wakt chamak thi aur hotho par muskan. Usne palat ke dekha to bed par uski girlfriend aakh band kiye leti hui thi. Use pata hi nahi chala tha ki wo bathroom se kab aa kar bed par let gai thi. Rohan is wakt bahut khush tha is liye usne apni girlfriend ke badan se chaadar ko ek jhatke me kheech kar door fek diya aur fir us par toot pada. Wo uske nange badan ko paaglo ki tarah sahlaye ja raha tha aur uske hotho ko chumta ja raha tha. Uski is harkat se ladki ki need fir se khul gai thi aur wo rohan ke aisa karne par machalne lagi. Thodi hi der me wo ladki bhi uska sath dene lagi thi.
Dusre din ashok uncle ke paas SP Rama shankar ka phone aaya. Ashok uncle se pata nahi usne kya kaha ki uncle ne abhi pahuch raha hu kah kar phone rakha aur fir kapde pahan kar ghar se nikal gaye. Saroj aunty ke puchne par bhi unhone kuch nahi bataya tha. Bas itna hi kaha ki abhi unke paas kuch batane ka time nahi hai. Us wakt subah ke saat baje the. Naina aur divya dono hi apne kamre me thi.
Ashok uncle apni car se kuch hi der me SP rama shankar ki bataai hui jagah par pahuch gaye. Unhe ummid nahi thi ki itni subah subah unke paas SP ka phone aa jayega aur wo unhe bula lega. Jab wo SP ke paas pahuche to wo unka road ke kinaare par bane ek hotel ke saamne intjar hi kar raha tha. Car ke rukte hi SP ne car ka gate khola aur ashok uncle ke bagal se baith gaya.
"Mathur ke ghar ki taraf chaliye." SP ne ashok uncle se kaha.
"Mathur wahi na jo news wala hai." Ashok uncle ne car ko jaldi hi aage badhate huye pucha to SP ne yes kaha.
"Aapne phone par mujhe kuch nahi bataya tha. Bas ye kaha ki is jagah par fauran hi aa jaau. Lekin abhi aapne jab mathur ke ghar chalne ko kaha to mujhe aisa lag raha hai ki usne saari jankari haasil kar li hai aur fir shayad usne aapko phone kar ke bulaya hoga." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Kal uske paas se aane ke baad bhi main is maamle ki gambhirta ke bare me sochta raha hu. Asal me pichle kuch mahino se mumbai aur pune se ladkiyo ke laapata hone ke maamle kuch jyada hi saamne aa rahe hain. Jab aapne mujhe apne is maamle ke bare me bataya tha to mere man me baar baar yahi khayaal aa raha tha ki aapka maamla bhi kahi usi maamle se connect na ho. Yahi vajah thi ki kal mathur ke yaha se aane ke baad bhi maine use ek baar phone kiya tha aur usse kaha tha ki maamla behad gambhir hai is liye agar uski vajah se kuch hua to thik nahi hoga. Mere aisa kahne par usne yahi kaha tha ki usse jitna jaldi ho sakega wo is bare me saari baat pata kar ke mujhe suchit karega. Abhi aadhe ghante pahle hi usne mujhe phone kar ke bataya tha aur mujhe ghar bulaya tha." SP rama shankar ne kaha.
"Pata nahi ye kya ho hai aaj kal shahro me. Jidhar dekho apraadh aur jurm hi dikhaai de raha hai. Khaas kar masoom ladkiyo ke sath to sabse jyada durbyohar ho raha hai. Kahi par bhi ladkiya safe nahi hain." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Kuch asamaajik tatwa har jagah maujud rahte hain mr ashok. Aaj kal log paise ko jyada importance dete hain aur iske liye wo koi bhi kaam karne se nahi chukte. Kuch time pahle ye pata chala tha ki mumbai aur pune se ladkiyo ki smuggling ho rahi hai. Hamne iski bahut chhaan been ki magar kuch chhutkar badmasho ke alawa koi bhi aisa pakad me nahi aaya jo ladkyo ke smuggling se related raha ho. Hamari police aur hamare khabri raat din aise logo ki talaash me lagi hui hai. Bade afsos ki baat hai ki abhi tak inke bare me koi khaas suraag nahi mil paya hai. Aapka ye maamla agar usi maamle se connect hai to ye hamare liye achha avsar hai ki ham inke jariye un smugglero tak pahuch sake." SP rama shankar ne kaha.
"Waise to main ye nahi chahta ki meri bachchi aise apradhiyo ke changul me fase lekin agar wo sach me unke hi changul me fas gai hai to fir ye bahut hi khatarnaak baat hogi. Hame kuch bhi kar ke us tak pahuchna hoga." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Befikra rahiye mr ashok. Main is maamle me koi kasar baaki nahi rakhuga." SP ne kaha.
Thodi hi der me ashok uncle ki car mathur ke awaas ke saamne ruki. Dono car se baahar aaye to dekha mathur apne ghar ke darwaje ke baahar hi khada tha. Uski najar jaise hi SP aur ashok uncle par padi to wo unke paas aaya aur fir unhe apne sath ghar ke andar le gaya.
"Mr mathur bina kisi aupcharikta ke aap sirf hame saari jankari dijiye. Kyo ki wakt bilkul bhi nahi hai hamare paas." SP ne mathur se kaha.
"Main janta hu sarkar lekin aap befikra rahiye. Maine aapse kaha tha na ki agar hamare yaha aisi baate hui hain to main aapko saari jankari duga to ab main aapko saari baate bhi bataauga aur ye bhi bataauga ki wo kaun tha jisne hamare yaha ke akhbar me un dono ke bare me news chhapwai thi." Mathur ne kaha.
Tabhi ek lady waha aai aur usne center table par tray rakh diya. Tray me chaay ke teen cup rakhe huye the. Mathur ne SP aur ashok uncle se chaay pine ke liye kaha to dono ne ek ek cup utha liya. Uske baad mathur ne bhi ek cup utha liya.
"Mujhe to yakeen hi nahi tha sarkar ki aisi khabar mere yaha ke akhbar me chhaapi gai hogi magar jab aapne mere hi yaha ka akhbar mujhe dikhaya to mujhe yakeen karna hi pada. Uske baad jab aapne maamle ki gambhirta ke bare me bataya to maine apne sare kaam chhod kar is bare me pata karna shuru kar diya. Waise to akhbar me har din is type ki khabre chhapti hi rahti hain jiske liye kabhi hamare reporter khud aisi khabar khojte hain to kabhi koi aam byakti hame is bare me batata hai. Maine jab is baat ki gambhirta ko samjha to mujhe ye bhi laga ki kahi hamare worker ne kisi ke kahne par aur paiso ke laalach me koi gair kanuni kaam to nahi kar diya. Aise me uska pata karne ke liye thodi savdhani rakhni hogi. Ye soch kar maine apne sabse bharosemand aadmi shailesh ko is bare me pata karne ko kaha. Usne pata kar ke bataya ki asal baat kya thi." Mathur ne kaha.
"To asal baat kya pata chali aapko." SP ne pucha.
"Shilesh ne jab pata kiya to use ye pata chala ki hamare news paper par ye khabar mumbai me chhapwaai gai thi. Matlab ki mumbai me jo hamare akhbar ki shakha hai waha par un dono ki khabar chhapwai gai thi." Mathur ne kaha.
"Ye kya kah rahe hain aap." SP ne hairani se pucha. Mathur ki is baat se ashok uncle bhi soch me pad gaye the. Fir unhe yaad aaya ki naina ne unhe bataya tha ki usne neelam aur nakul ki khabar mumbai me hi padhi thi aur use bhi mumbai me hi kaid kiya gaya tha.
"Yahi sach hai sarkar. Shilesh ne sari baato ka pata karne ke baad hi mujhe is bare me bataya tha." Mathur ne kaha.
"Ye sahi kah rahe hain SP sahab. Meri beti ki dost naina ne bhi to mujhse yahi bataya tha ki usne un dono ki tasvir aur khabar mumbai me hi padhi thi aur use bhi to wahi par kaid kiya gaya tha. Ye to uski kismat achhi thi jo wo unki kaid se kisi tarah nikal kar yaha aa pahuchi thi." Ashok uncle ne SP ko yaad dilate huye kaha.
"Haa aapne bataya tha mujhe." SP ne kaha.
"To aapne ye pata nahi lagwaya ki mumbai me aapke akhbar me ye khabar kiske dwara chhapwai gai thi." Ashok uncle ne mathur se pucha.
"Sab kuch pata karwaya hai maine. Mumbai ke hamare ek employee ne shailesh ko bataya ki kisi brijesh naam ke aadmi ne ye khabar chhapwai thi. Jab shailesh ne hamare waha ke employee se brijesh ke bare me puchha to usne shailesh ko brijesh ka naam aur pata likhwa diya. Itna hi nahi hamare employee ne cctv camre se uski photo bhi nikaal kar bheji hai." Mathur ne kaha.
"Ye bahut achha kaam kiya aapke employee ne. Ab ham us brijesh ko badi asaani se dhudh sakte hain." SP ne kaha.
"Aap use uske photo ke base par hi dhudh sakte hain sarkar. Kyo ki hamare employee ne jab uske bare me pata karwaya to pata chala ki uska address farji tha. Ab jab address hi farji tha to ye bhi ho sakta hai ki uska naam bhi farji hi ho. Iska to yahi matlab hua ki brijesh naam ka wo aadmi apni pahchaan chhupana chahta tha. Wo to cctv me uski video record ho gai thi is liye uski photo hamare hath lag gai hai." Mathur ne kaha.
"Koi baat nahi. Ham usko uski photo ke base par hi khoj lege. Aap hame uski photo dijiye." SP ne kaha to mathur ne apni coat ki jeb se ek envelope nikaal kar SP ko pakda diya. SP ne us envelope ko khola aur usse photo nikaal kar dekhne laga. Photo me jo aadmi tha wo koi tees saal ki age ka aadmi tha. Uski shakl surat kuch khaas nahi thi magar kapde aise pahan rakha tha jaise wo koi bada aadmi ho.
"Ye to shakal se hi apraadhi lagta hai." SP ne kaha aur fir photo ko wapas envelope me daal diya.
"Mere liye aur kya hukum hai sarkar." Mathur ne kaha.
"Thank you mr mathur. Aapne wakt rahte hame iski jankari de di. Ab ham chalte hain. Agar jarurat padegi to aapko phone karuga main." SP ne kaha.
"Bilkul sarkar. Mujhse jo ho sakega wo main karuga." Mathur ne kaha.
Ashok uncle aur SP waha se uth kar baagar aa gaye. Mathur baahar tak unhe chhodne aaya. Ashok uncle ne car start ki aur SP ke kahne par aage badha diya. Raaste me SP ne ashok uncle se kaha ki wo ab is maamle ke liye aaj hi apni ek team bana kar mumbai bhejega aur sabse pahle is brijesh naam ke aadmi ki talaash karwayega. Ashok uncle ne SP ko uske ghar par chhoda aur fir wo wapas ghar aa gaye.

Back to my side....
Mujhe jab hosh aaya to maine apne aapko kisi makhmali cheej par lete huye paya. Mera sir bhaari bhaari sa lag raha tha aur meri saanse bhi thodi tej chal rahi thi. Maine thik se aakhe khol kar apne aas paas dekha to pata chala ki main ek aise kamre me thi jo mujhe jana pahchana sa lag raha tha. Maine thik se apne dimaag par jor daal kar yaad kiya to main ekdam se chauk padi. Mujhe yaad aaya ki ye to rohan ke flat wala wahi kamra hai jaha par main aur nakul tab rahe the jab ham dono ghar se bhaag kar mumbai aaye the.
Kamre ko jab maine pahchan liya tab mere man me sawaal utha ki kya is wakt main sach me mumbai me rohan ke flat par hu. Lekin aisa kaise ho sakta hai. Main to nakul ke sath pune me thi. Main ye soch hi rahi thi ki mujhe jhatka laga. Mujhe ekdam se yaad aaya ki mujhe aur nakul ko police walo ne pakad liya tha aur fir wo ham dono ko police ki jeep me baitha kar le ja rahe the. Raaste me ek jagah par un police walo ne jeep roka tha aur fir un dono ne hamse bathroom jane ki baat kah kar jeep se niche utar gaye the. Uske baad main aur nakul ek dusre se baat karne lage the ki tabhi un police walo ne ham dono ko pichhe se pakad kar behosh kar diya tha. Behosh hone se pahle maine kisi ki awaaj suni thi jo jaani pahchani thi.
Maine yaad karne ki koshish ki aur fir jaldi hi mujhe yaad aa gaya. Wo deepak ki awaaj thi. Wo deepak ki hi awaaj thi lekin wo us wakt waha kyo tha. Are haa yaad aaya. Usne ek police wale se kaha tha ki tumne bahut achha kaam kiya hai. Ye lo apna inaam aur in dono ko meri taxi me shift kar do.
Hey bhagwan aisa kaise ho sakta hai. Kya ye sab us deepak ne kiya hai magar aisa kyo kiya hoga usne. Ye sab sochte hi meri haalat kharaab hone lagi. Main hadbada kar uthi aur kamre me idhar udhar dekhne lagi. Kamre ka darwaja band tha. Mujhe nakul ka khayaal aaya. Wo bhi to us wakt mere sath hi tha. To kya meri tarah wo bhi yaha pahuch gaya hoga. Mere man me kai sare sawaal ubhar aaye the. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha ki agar ye sab deepak ne kiya tha to is wakt main rohan ke flat me kaise thi.
Ye rohan ke flat ka hi kamra tha. Main is kamre ko bhala kaise bhool sakti thi. Yaha ek hapte se jyada ham dono rahe the. Abhi main ye sab soch hi rahi thi ki kamre ke baahar se kisi ki awaaj aai to main darwaje ki taraf dekhne lagi. Mera dil jor jor se dhadakne laga. Pata nahi mujhe aisa kyo mahsus hone laga tha jaise kuch bura hone wala hai. Mujhe bahut ghabrahat si hone lagi thi. Main kamre me akeli thi aur nakul kaha tha is bare me mujhe kuch bhi pata nahi tha. Tabhi kamre ka darwaja khula aur deepak ke sath rohan par najar padte hi main dhakk se rah gai.
Wo dono darwaje par khade mujhe hi dekh rahe the. Idhar kamre me bed par baithi main ghabraai hui haalat me unhe hi dekhe ja rahi thi. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha ki main un dono ko dekh kar kaise react karu ya unse kya kahu. Deepak ko dekh kar main ye jarur sochne lagi thi ki usne us police wale se ye kyo kaha tha ki usne bahut achha kaam kiya hai aur in dono ko meri taxi me shift kar do. Aakhir ye kya chakkar tha.
"Welcome again my home." Rohan ne muskurate huye kaha to mujhe samajh na aaya ki main usko kya jawaab du. Jab maine uski baat ka koi jawaab na diya to usne deepak ki taraf ek baar dekha aur fir bola.
"Lagta hai mera welcome karna miss neelam ko achha nahi laga deepak bhai. Tumne inke sath kuch ulta sidha to nahi kar diya." Rohan ne deepak se kaha.
"Nahi bhai maine aisa to kuch bhi nahi kiya. Balki maine to in dono ki help hi ki hai. Un police walo ke changul se chhudaya hai in dono ko warna wo police wale to inhe police station liye ja rahe the. Mujhe pata chala tha ki wo police wale aise aadmi se mile huye the jo ladkiyo ko pakadte hain aur fir unhe dusre desh me smuggle kar dete hain. Main apne liye naya kamra khojne nikla hua tha aur us wakt waapas laut raha tha ki tabhi meri najar police jeep me baithe in dono par padi thi. Ye achha hi hua warna ye dono to lambe se napne wale the. Maine kisi tarah un police walo ko paise khilaye tab ja kar un logo ne inhe chhoda tha magar usse pahle un logo ne in dono ko behosh bhi kar diya tha. Uske baad mujhe laga ki inka ab pune me rahna thik nahi hai is liye main raato raat in dono ko le kar yaha aa gaya. Aakhir dost hu inka aur inke liye itna bhi nahi karuga to fir dost kaisa." Deepak ne ye sab rohan se kaha to uski baate sun kar main bhi soch me pad gai.
"Tumne ye bahut achha kiya bhai jo in dono ko raato raat yaha le aaye. Sach me ye dono bahut badi musibat me padne wale the." Rohan ne kaha.
"Maine to apni dosti ka farj hi nibhaya hai bhai magar dekh raha hu ki neelam ji iske liye mujhe thanks bhi nahi bol rahi hain." Deepak ne ye kaha to mujhe samajh na aaya ki main ab kya kahu.
"Mujhe lagta hai ki neelam ji abhi andar se ghabraai hui hain is liye tumhe thanks nahi bol rahi hain. Tum inke thanks na bolne par bura mat maanna dost. Chalo ham inse baad me milege. Abhi inhe fresh ho lene do. Ham bhi inke liye naasta paani ki byawastha karte hain." Rohan ne kaha aur fir wo deepak ko le kar chala gaya.
Idhar bed par baithi main soch me dubi hui thi. Deepak ki baato ne mujhe sochne par majbur kar diya tha aur ab rohan ki baato se bhi mujhe aisa lag raha tha jaise main iske pahle bekaar me hi ye sochne lagi thi ki kuch bura hone wala hai. In dono ki baato se to aisa kuch bhi nahi laga mujhe. Unke jane ke baad maine chain ki saas li aur bed se utar kar pahle apne huliye ko sahi kiya uske baad bathroom me chali gai. Bathroom me main isi bare me soch rahi thi. Nakul abhi tak mujhe dikha nahi tha. Is par maine yahi socha ki shayad wo kisi dusre kamre me hoga. Fresh hone ke baad dekhugi ki wo kaha hai.
Kuch der me main fresh ho kar bathroom se nikal kar kamre me aai to dekha kamre ke ek kone me mera aur nakul ka bag rakha hua tha. Dono bags ko dekh kar main jaldi se aage badhi aur apne bag ki chain khol kar apna samaan dekhne lagi. Samaan se jyada chinta mujhe apne mobile ki hone lagi thi. Thodi hi der me jab mujhe kapdo ke niche chhupaya hua mobile mil gaya to maine raahat ki saas li. Maine darwaje se jhaak kar baahar dekha to koi na dikha mujhe. Ye dekh kar maine jaldi se mobile ko unlock kiya to uski screen jal uthi. Mobile on hi tha aur usme ratan bhaiya ke messeges aaye huye the. Kai saari miss call bhi padi hui thi ratan bhaiya ki. Ye dekh kar main jaldi se unke messeges ko open kar ke dekhne lagi.
Ratan bhaiya ne messeges me likha tha ki kal mom ne dad se tumhare aur nakul ke bare me baat ki thi. Dad mom ki baato se gussa ho rahe the magar fir mom ne bhi unse kah diya ki har maa baap apne bachcho ki khushi chaahte hain. Nakul me sirf itni hi khaami hai ki wo bechara gareeb hai aur uska aage pichhe koi nahi hai. Jabki iske alawa wo padha likha hai to wo kahi bhi achha khasa kama sakta hai aur tumhe har tarah se khush rakh sakta hai. Tumhari shadi agar nakul se hogi to samaaj ke log ye nahi kahege ki isse hamari ijjat mitti me mil gai hai balki yahi kahege ki ek anaath ladke ke sath apni beti ki shadi kar ke hamne uska maan badha diya hai aur use bhi samaaj me ijjat de di hai. Sabse badi baat ye hogi ki isse log amiri garibi ki baato se unhe tana nahi marege balki hamare aisa karne par samaaj ka har gareeb warg hame bade ijjat aur samman ki najar se dekhega.
Main ratan bhaiya ke ye messeges bade dhyaan se padh rahi thi aur meri dhadkane bhi badh gai thi. Ek messege me ratan bhaiya ne likha tha ki mom ne jab dad ki aakho me aakhe daal kar ye sab kaha tha to dad dekhte rah gaye the mom ko. Ravendra uncle bhi wahi the. Mom ki baate sun kar unhone bhi dad se kaha tha ki bhabhi maa ki baato me sachaai hai bhaiya. Wo ladka gareeb aur anaath jarur hai magar padha likha hai aur dikhne me bhi bura nahi lagta. Wo har tarah se neelam ke laayak hai. Wo dono ek dusre ko chaahte hain aur jiwan bhar ek dusre ke sath rahna chahte hain to hame bhi un dono ki khushi ko dekhte huye unki shadi kar deni chahiye. Jabardasti kisi dusre ke sath shadi kar dene se kya hamari beti jiwan me khush rah payegi. Jamana badal raha hai to hame bhi thoda badalna chahiye aur dono ki shadi kar ke samaaj me ek misaal sthaapit karni chahiye. Ravendra uncle ki in baato se dad kuch nahi bole. Uncle ne pahli baar dad se is lahje me baat ki thi. Uske baad mom ne jab dekha ki dad ka gussa thanda pad gaya hai to unhone dad se wo sab bata diya jo maine tumhare bare me unko bataya tha. Unhone dad ko ye bhi bataya ki pichhle din unhone phone par tumse baat bhi ki thi. Mom ki in baato se dad aur ravendra uncle bahut jyada hairan huye the. Dad ne to is baat par mujh par gussa bhi kiya aur mujhe data bhi ki maine unhe is bare me unhe pahle kyo nahi bataya. Tab maine bhi himmat kar ke unse kah diya ki maine aisa sirf apni bahan ki khushi ke liye kiya tha. Agar unko bata deta to wo tumhe nakul se alag kar dete aur aisa bhi ho sakta tha ki wo nakul ke sath kuch ulta sidha kar baithte.
Ratan bhaiya ne last messege me likha tha ki neel ab tujhe chinta karne ki jarurat nahi hai kyo ki aaj shaam ko fir se mom aur uncle ne dad se is bare me baat ki thi jiska result ye nikla ki dad ne tum dono ki shadi ke liye permission de di aur mujhse kaha ki main tum dono ko phone kar ke kah du ki ab tum dono waha se wapas ghar aa jaao. Dad ki is baat par main aur mom bahut khush huye the. Fir maine tumhe phone kiya par tumne mera phone hi nahi uthaya. Kitni baar tumhe phone lagaya magar tumne phone nahi uthaya. Tum waha thik se to ho na neel. Mujhe phone kar ke ya messege kar ke jarur batana kyo ki mujhe teri bahut fikra ho rahi hai.
Ratan bhaiya ke is aakhiri messege ko padh kar meri aankho se aashu bah chale. Mera dil kar raha tha ki kaash main ek pal me unke paas pahuch jaau aur unse lipat kar rona shuru kar du. Mujhe yaad aaya ki main apne inhi bhaiya par shak kar rahi thi. Ye yaad aate hi main rone se khud ko rok na paai. Man hi man main unse maafiya maagne lagi aur bhagwan se kahne lagi ki har bahan ko mere ratan bhaiya jaisa bhai de. Maine badi mushkil se khud ko samhala aur apne aashu pochhe. Uske baad main messege type karne lagi. Maine sabse pahle unse maafi magte huye yahi likha ki aap is sansar ke mere sabse achhe bhaiya hain. Mujhe aap par naaj hai bhaiya aur main bhagwan se yahi wardaan magti hu ki wo is duniya me har bahan ko aapke jaisa pyar karne wala bhai de. Mujhe itni jyada khushi dene ke liye main kaise aapka dhanyawad karu ye meri samajh me nahi aa raha lekin itna jarur kahti hu ki apni is nasamajh bahan ko jiwan bhar aise hi pyar dete rahna.
Maine ye sab likh kar messege send kar diya aur dusre messege me ye likha ki main yaha thik hu aur aapka phone is liye nahi utha paai kyo ki mobile silent mode par tha to mujhe aapki call ka pata hi nahi chala. Last me ye likha ki main ye khush khabri nakul ko bhi bataaugi aur fir bahut jald ham dono gaon wapas aa jayege.
Ghar aa kar ashok uncle ne sab ko saari baat bataai to sab neelam ke liye chinta me pad gaye the. Naina ko achhi tarah pata tha ki maamla kitna gambhir hai is liye usne ashok uncle se kaha ki wo SP se kah kar is maamle me thoda teji se kaam kare aur is baat ka bhi dhyaan rakhe ki yaha bhi un logo ke aadmi hoge jinke relation yaha ke police walo se hoge. Aise me agar SP ne is maamle me neelam aur nakul ke bare me pata karne ke liye local police thane ki police ko order dege to ho sakta hai unme se jo police wala un logo se mila hoga to wo un logo ko is baat ki suchna de de jisse wo satark ho jayege aur fir ye bhi ho sakta hai ki wo log neelam aur nakul ko kahi chhupa de.
Ashok uncle bhi is baat ko samajhte the is liye unhone SP se pahle hi is bare me baat kar liya tha. SP ne khud kaha tha ki wo is baat ko samajhte huye ek khaas team banayege jisme sab imandar police wale hoge aur wo secret roop se neelam aur nakul ko pune me dhudhege. Itna hi nahi balki wo apne khabriyo ko bhi laga dege.
Naina ko sabse jyada tension neelam ki thi. Wo janti thi ki neelam ko abhi is bare me pata hi nahi hai ki wo kitne bade khatre me hai. Naina ko samajh nahi aa raha tha ki mumbai me neelam aur nakul aisi kaun si jagah ruke the jaha se wo aise logo ke haath lag gaye the. Naina ko to ab ye bhi lag raha tha ki ho sakta hai ki neelam aur nakul un logo ki pakad me hi ho aur ab un dono ko bhi is sab ka pata chal gaya ho. Agar sach yahi hai to fir wo dono is wakt bahut badi musibat me hoge.
Udhar SP ne is maamle ki gambhirta ko samajhte huye apni ek khaas team bana kar mumbai bhej diya tha aur khud bhi mumbai police ke bade adhikariyo ko is bare me inform kar ke is maamle me kaam karne ki request ki. Waha ke adhikariyo ne SP rama shankar ki is baat par yahi kaha ki wo khud secret roop se is giroh ka pata lagane par lage huye hain. SP ne us photo ko bhi mumbai me adhikariyo ke paas bhej diya tha jo photo mathur ne di thi use.
Ashok uncle ke pressure dene par SP badi teji se is maamle ki karyawaahi me laga hua tha. Ashok uncle khud dopahar ka lunch karne ke baad SP se milne chale gaye the. Ghar me naina divya aur saroj aunty sab is maamle se tension me the.
......
Dusre din jab subah se dopahar ho gai aur pichhli raat wale wo police wale na aaye to uncle aunty ke man me tarah tarah ke khayaal aane lage the. Wo to isi dar me the ki dusre din subah wo police wale aayege aur unhe bhi giraftar kar ke le jayege. Kyo ki unhone police ko gumraah kiya tha jiske liye wo log unhe dusre din ki subah aa kar giraftar karne ko kaha tha magar ab to subah se dopahar bhi ho gai thi par wo police wale nahi aaye the.
Uncle aunty dono is baat se dukhi the ki unke itne prayaas ke baavjud police walo ne neelam aur nakul ko khoj liya tha aur fir un dono ko pakad kar le gaye the. Wo us wakt itne bebas ho gaye the ki unke liye kuch nahi kar paye the. Neelam aur nakul se un dono ko lagaav ho gaya tha is liye ab wo un dono ke liye dukhi the. Barso baad un dono ke aane se ghar me ek raunak si ho gai thi magar ab fir se jaise sannata chha gaya tha.
"Kya aapka thane jana thik rahega. Agar unhone aapko bhi unke sath jail me band kar diya to." Aunty ne dukhi ho ke kaha.
"Main bhi to yahi chahta hu karuna ki wo mujhe bhi unke sath hi jail me band kar de. Aise me kam se kam apne bachcho ke sath to rahuga. Un dono ko apni aankho se dekhuga to man ko shanti to milegi. Pata nahi dono ne kuch khaya bhi hoga ki nahi." Uncle ne kaha.
"Aap to unhe apni aankho se dekh lege magar mera kya. Aap mere dil ka haal bhi to samajhiye. Wo dono mere bhi to bachche hain. Jab un dono ko wo log jeep me baitha kar le ja rahe the tab wo dono kaise hame dekh rahe the kya aapne nahi dekha tha. Us wakt jaise wo dekh rahe the to mujhe lag raha tha ki bhaag kar un dono ke paas jaau aur unhe apne kaleje se laga lu. Un dono masumo ki aakho me jo bebasi aur dukh tha wo abhi bhi mere dil ko dukh de raha hai. Main aapse prarthna karti hu ki apne sath mujhe bhi le chaliye. Main bhi apne bachcho ko apni aankho se dekhna chahti hu." Aunty ji ne rote huye kaha.
"Main janta hu karuna ki tum bhi un dono ke liye bahut dukhi ho magar abhi pahle mujhe dekh aane do. Main waha ke halaat dekh ke tumhe bhi bula luga." Uncle ne kaha.
"Aap mujhe kaise bula lege. Agar un police walo ne aapko aane hi nahi diya to." Aunty ne kaha.
"To tum khud hi aa jana. Police thana to tumhara dekha hua hi hai." Uncle ne kaha.
"Thik hai. Agar aap aadhe ek ghante ke andar wapas nahi aaye to main bhi aa jaaugi aapke piche. Ye lijiye ise bhi lete jaiye." Aunty ne ek thaila uncle ki taraf badhate huye kaha.
"Kya hai is thaile me." Uncle ne pucha.
"Un dono ke liye isme achha sa khana bana kar pack kar diya hai maine. Jate hi unhe de dijiyega. Jane un dono ko khana diya bhi hoga un logo ne ya abhi bhi mere bachche bhukhe hi pade hoge waha." Aunty ne kaha.
"Ye tumne bahut achha kiya karuna jo unke liye khana pack kar diya hai. Laao jaldi ab main bilkul bhi der nahi karna chahta. Waha pahuchte hi main un dono ko ye khana de duga aur haa tum bhi khana kha lena. Subah se kuch nahi khaya hai tumne." Uncle ne kaha.
"Mere bachche bhukhe rahege to mujhse kya khaya jayega." Aunty ne kaha.
"Haa main janta hu karuna lekin ab to main ye khana le kar ja hi raha hu na to ab tum bhi khana kha lena. Achha ab main chalta hu." Uncle ne kaha aur fir khane ka thaila le kar ghar se baahar nikal gaye.
Unke jane ke baad aunty kafi der tak darwaje par khadi unhe dekhti rahi. Uske baad jab uncle unki aakho se ojhal ho gaye to wo bhi darwaje se wapas andar aa gai aur darwaja band kar diya. Unke chehre par dukh ke bhaav the. Aisa lag raha tha jaise wo abhi ro degi.
Udhar sadak par kafi door chalne ke baad uncle ji ko ek auto dikha to unhone us auto ko rukwaya aur fir usme baith kar police thane ki taraf chal diye. Sare raaste wo neelam aur nakul ke bare me sochte rahe. Unhe pata hi na chala ki auto kab police thane pahuch gaya hai. Auto wale ne jab unhe bataya tab unhe pata chala. Auto se utar kar unhone auto wale ko paise diye aur fir police station ki taraf badh gaye.
Kuch hi der me uncle ji thane ke andar pahuch gaye. Unke man me ajeeb ajeeb se khayaal aa rahe the jisse unka dil teji se dhadakne laga tha. Andar aa kar unhone charo taraf najar ghumaai. Kai sare police wale waha maujud the. Kuch khade huye the to kuch table ke us paar kursiyo me baithe huye the. Uncle ji ne har police wale ko bade dhyaan se dekha lekin unhe wo police wale najar na aaye jo pichhli raat unke ghar aaye the.
"Kya baat hai taau. Yaha kis liye aaye ho." Ek police wale ki najar jab uncle par padi to usne pucha.
"Wo main apne bachcho se milne aaya hu sahab." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Bachcho se milne. Ye kya kah rahe ho taau. Yaha par tumhare bachche kaha se aa gaye." Us police wale ne kaha.
"Wo kal raat police wale do sahab mere ghar aaye the to wo mere bachcho ko pakad kar le aaye the. Main unhi se milne aaya hu. Kripaya mujhe mere bachcho se mil lene dijiye. Dekhiye wo dono bahut masoom hain. Unki koi galti nahi thi." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Are taau ye tum kya kahe ja rahe ho. Dimaag to thik hai na tumhara. Yaha par tumhare koi bachche vachche nahi hain. Jaao yaha se." Us police wale ne kaha.
"Aisa mat kaho sahab. Mere bachcho ko kal raat aapke hi thane ke do police wale pakad kar le aaye the. Wo to ye bhi bol kar aaye the ki subah wo mujhe bhi giraftar kar ke le jayege kyo ki maine police ko gumraah kiya hai." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Taau tumhara dimaag fir gaya hai kya. Ye kya bakwas pele ja rahe ho tum. Maine kaha na ki yaha tumhare koi bachche vachche nahi hain. Aur ye tum kis police wale ki baat kar rahe ho ki wo tumhare bachche ko kal raat pakad kar le aaye the." Us police wale ne pucha.
"Utni der se main yaha unhe hi khoj raha hu magar wo dono to yaha dikh hi nahi rahe. Lekin mera yakin kijiye sahab. Kal raat mere ghar aapke jaise hi do police wale aaye the aur wo mere bachcho ko pakad kar waha se le aaye the." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Kya hua sharma. Kaun kisko pakad kar le aaya tha." Ek dusra police wala unke paas aate hi pahle police wale se pucha.
"Are yaar patil kya bataau tujhe. Ye taau pata nahi kya bake ja raha hai. Kah raha hai ki hamare thane ke do police wale kal raat iske ghar gaye the aur fir iske bachcho ko pakad kar yaha le aaye the." Pahle police wale ne kaha.
"Par hamare yaha to kal raat koi bhi kisi bachche ko pakad kar nahi laya." Dusre wale ne kaha.
"Wahi to main bhi is taau ko bata raha hu lekin ye baar baar usi baat ko dohraye ja raha hai. Ab tu hi samjha is taau ko." Pahle wale ne kaha.
"Dekhiye aap log mera viswaas kijiye. Main apne unhi bachcho ki kasam kha ke kah raha hu ki kal raat aapke hi yaha ke do police wale mere ghar aaye the aur wo mere bachcho ko pakad kar le aaye the. Main yaha apne unhi bachcho se milne aaya hu aur ye dekhiye main unke liye ye khana bhi pack kar ke le aaya hu. Kyo ki wo bahut bhukhe hoge." Uncle ji ne thaila dikhate huye kaha.
"Dekho taau pichhli raat hamare yaha koi bhi mujrim pakad kar nahi laya gaya. Is liye ham tumhari baat par kaise yakin kar sakte hain. Mujhe lagta hai ki tumne koi khwaab dekha hai." Dusre police wale ne kaha.
"Nahi sahab maine koi khwaab nahi dekha hai balki main sach kah raha hu. Main apne un bachcho ki jhuthi kasam nahi kha sakta." Uncle ji ne bebas ho ke kaha.
"Chalo maine maan liya taau lekin tum bhi to hamari baat par yakin karo. Ham bhala tumse jhuth kyo bolege. Agar tumhe yakeen nahi hai to chalo tum khud hi dekh lo har jagah. Tab shayad tumhe yakeen aa jaye ham par." Pahle police wale ne kaha.
"Haa ye thik rahega sahab. Main apni aakho se dekh lena chahta hu." Uncle ji ne kaha to wo dono police wale unhe apne sath andar ki taraf le gaye jaha par lockup bane huye the.
Uncle ji un dono police walo ke sath ghum ghum kar kai baar sare lockup me dekha magar neelam aur nakul unhe kahi najar na aaye. Ye dekh kar uncle ji ki haalat ro dene wali ho gai. Unhe samajh nahi aa raha tha ki aisa kaise ho sakta hai. Jo police wale unke ghar aaye the wo bhi thane me nahi dikh rahe the. Unhone un dono police walo ko pichhli raat aaye dono police walo ke huliye bhi bataye. Unke bataye huliye ka koi bhi police wala thane me nahi tha.
Uncle ji ko din me hi taare najar aane lage the. Unhe aisa lagne laga jaise sach me unhone khwaab dekha tha. Kuch bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha ki ye sab kaise ho gaya tha. Unki haalat dekh kar thane ke dono police walo ne unhe pani pilaya aur fir samjha bujha kar thane se baahar ka raasta dikha diya. Unhe yahi laga ki ye taau pagal hai jo kalpnik bachcho ki kahani bana raha tha.
Thane se baahar aa kar uncle ji gahri soch me dube paidal chal pade. Unke dimaag me dher sare sawaal ubhar rahe the magar unme se kisi ka bhi jawaab unhe nahi mil raha tha. Unke man me sabse jyada yahi sawaal ubhar raha tha ki kya wo police wale nakli the jo neelam aur nakul ko is tarah se pakad kar le gaye the magar aisa wo kyo kiye hoge. Unhone unhe bhi giraftar karne ki baat kahi thi lekin usi wakt unhe giraftar nahi kiya tha kyo. Agar unhone sach me police ko gumrah kiya tha to unhe bhi usi wakt giraftar kar lena chahiye tha. Fir unhone ye kyo kaha tha ki wo kal subah aayege aur fir unhe bhi police ko gumrah karne ke jurm me giraftar kar ke le jayege.
Uncle ji ye sab sochte huye sadak par ja hi rahe the ki achanak hi sadak par tej awaaj hui aur tabhi unhe ek thokar lagi jisse wo uchhal kar sadak par gir gaye. Uncle ji soch me itna dube huye the ki unhe ye pata hi nahi chala tha ki kab wo bich sadak par aa gaye the. Car wale ne bade jor ka break mara tha magar iske bavjud car uncle ji ko chhu gai thi jiska result ye nikla ki uncle ji uchhal kar sadak par gir gaye the. Dekhte hi dekhte sadak par bheed jama ho gai.
Car wala jaldi se car ka gate khol kar baahar aaya aur sadak par gire uncle ji ko pakad kar uthaya. Aas paas ikattha ho gai bheed me se kai tarah ki awaaje aane lagi thi. Shukar tha haadsa jyada bada nahi tha warna car chalak ke lene ke dene to padte hi sath hi uncle ji ki bhi haalat critical ho jati.
"Aapka dhyaan kidhar tha uncle ji. Kitna horn baja raha tha main lekin aap sun hi nahi rahe the." Coat pahne huye us aadmi ne kaha jo koi aur nahi balki ashok uncle hi the. Unhone uncle ji ko pakad kar uthaya aur unse puchne lage ki aapko kahi chot wagaira to nahi lagi. Waise chot to unhe lag hi gai thi. Kyo ki pakki sadak par uchhal kar gire the wo jisse ek haath ki kohni me aur ek pair ke ghutne me chot lag gai thi. Aas paas maujud bheed bhi janti thi ki car wale ne bahut horn bajaya tha magar taau ko sunaai nahi diya tha. Ab main road ke bich par koi aadmi is tarah bahra ho ke chalega to uska result aisa to nikalna hi tha.
"Maaf karna beta. Asal me mera dhyan kahi aur hi tha is liye tumhari gaadi ka horn mere kaano tak nahi pahuch saka." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Aap maafi mat maagiye uncle ji. Asal me kahi na kahi meri bhi galti thi. Aapki tarah mera bhi dhyaan kahi aur hi tha. Bhagwan ki daya se sahi wakt par maine aapko dekh liya tha warna aaj mujhse bahut bada anarth ho jata. Chaliye uthiye aur meri car me baithiye. Main aapko hospital le ke chalta hu. Aapko chot lag gai hai." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Are nahi beta. Ye to bas mamuli si chot hai jo haldi chuna lagane se thik ho jayegi." Uncle ji ne uthte huye kaha.
"Nahi uncle ji. Aapko mere sath chalna hi padega. Kyo ki agar main aapko is haal me chhod kar chala jaauga to mere man ko shaanti nahi milegi." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Achha agar aisi baat hai to thik hai beta lekin tum mujhe hospital nahi balki mere ghar le chalo. Mamuli si kharoch hi to aai hai. Ab agar main itne ke liye hospital gaya to ghar me meri biwi akeli bahut pareshan ho jayegi. Waise bhi is wakt wo dukhi hai." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Thik hai uncle ji. Chaliye main aapko aapke ghar hi liye chalta hu." Ashok uncle ne kaha aur fir unhone uncle ji ko sahara de kar apni car ke andar baithaya. Sadak par hi ek taraf pada wo thaila bhi ashok uncle utha laye jo uncle ji ke hath me tha. Uske baad ashok uncle uncle ji se unke ghar ka pata puchh kar car ko aage badha diya.
"Waise uncle ji kya main aapse puch sakta hu ki aap us wakt aise kin khayaalo me gum the jiski vajah se aapko meri car ka horn bhi nahi sunaai diya tha." Raaste me ashok uncle ne pucha.
"Duniya bahut badi hai beta aur is duniya me har insaan kisi na kisi khayal me gum hi rahta hai. Main bhi apne bachcho ke khayaalo me hi gum tha us wakt." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Mata pita to hote hi aise hain. Har wakt apne bachcho ke hi bare me sochte rahte hain. Bachche bhale hi apne mata pita ke bare me na soche lekin mata pita unhi ke bare me sochte hain. Apne bachcho ki bhalaai ke bare me hi sochte hain. Shayad isi liye duniya me mata pita se bada aur unse mahaan koi nahi hota. Waise aap apne bachcho ke bare me sochte huye itna gum the to jarur koi khaas baat rahi hogi." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Khaas hoti to shayad itna gum na hota beta." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Ji main kuch samjha nahi. Khaas baat nahi thi to fir kya baat thi uncle ji." Ashok uncle ne pucha.
"Asal me beta main yaha police station aaya tha apne bachcho se milne ke liye." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Police station. Kya aapke bachche police station me the." Ashok uncle ne pucha.
"Main to yahi samajh raha tha beta ki mere bachche police station me hi hoge magar abhi jab maine yaha aa kar dekha to wo yaha nahi the. Isi baat se main soch me itna doob gaya tha ki ye sab ho gaya." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Par aapke bachche police station me kyo the. Kya unhone koi jurm kiya tha." Ashok uncle ne pucha.
"Waisa jurm to unhone nahi kiya tha jiske liye unhe police ya kanoon pakad kar jail me hi daal de magar haa dono ne prem karne aur ghar se bhaag kar yaha aane ka jurm shayad jarur kiya tha tabhi to un becharo ko har kisi se chhup ke rahna pada tha." Uncle ji ne kaha to ashok uncle ko jhatka sa laga. Jane kyo unke man me uncle ji ki is baat se neelam aur nakul ka khayaal aa gaya. Wo bhi to premi the aur ghar se bhaag kar yaha aaye the.
"Wo dono ghar se bhaag kar yaha aaye the matlab wo aapke bachche nahi the. Kya sahi kaha maine." Ashok uncle ne pucha.
"Haa wo mere bachche nahi the magar mere bachcho jaise hi the. Pichhle aadhe mahine se wo mere ghar me rah rahe the magar kal raat do police wale aaye aur unhe pakad kar le gaye ghar se. Mujhe bhi kah gaye the ki maine police ko gumrah kiya hai is liye wo subah mujhe bhi giraftar kar ke le jayege magar subah se dopahar bhi ho gai aur wo mujhe giraftar karne nahi aaye. Mujhe apne un bachcho ki chinta thi is liye jab mujhse na raha gaya to main unse milne thane chala aaya tha. Yaha aa kar jab maine police walo se unse milne ki baat kahi to wo kahne lage ki yaha koi bachche vachche nahi hain aur na hi kal raat unke thane ka koi police wala unhe pakad kar laya tha. Bas isi baat par meri unse bahas hone lagi. Ant me unhone mujhe lockup bhi dikhaya. Sach me waha mere bachche nahi the. Ye dekh kar main hairaan aur pareshan ho gaya ki aakhir mere bachche gaye kaha. Inhi sab baato ke bare me sochte huye main gum tha aur fir tumhari car se accident hote hote bach gaya." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Kahi un dono ka naam neelam aur nakul to nahi tha." Ashok uncle ne ye pucha to uncle ji unki is baat se chauk kar unki taraf dekhne lage.
"Haa yahi naam hai un dono ka par tumhe un dono ka naam kaise pata hai beta. Kya tum un dono ko jante ho." Uncle ji ne pucha.
"Hey bhagwan. Main bhi unhe hi dhudh raha hu uncle ji. Asal me main SP rama shankar se milne hi aa raha tha. Unhone thane se aage ek hotel ke paas milne ke liye kaha tha mujhse." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Ye to badi hairani ki baat hai beta. Lekin tum unhe kyo dhudh rahe ho. Kya wo tumhare bachche hain." Uncle ji ne pucha.
"Asal me neelam meri beti divya ki school ki friend thi. To ek tarah se wo bhi meri beti ki tarah hi hai. Ek ladki aur hai naina jo neelam ke gaon ki hi hai aur wo uski friend hai. Naina ki vajah se hi pata chala ki neelam aur nakul yaha pune me hain aur wo dono badi bhari musibat me hain. Is vajah se main un dono ko SP ki help se dhudh raha hu. Ye to ek bahut bada sanjog hi hua ki aapse is tarah mulakaat ho gai aur aapke dwara hi mujhe un dono ke bare me pata chal gaya. Lekin ab aap kah rahe hain ki kal raat unhe police wale pakad kar le gaye the." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Yahi sach hai beta. Jaisa ki maine tumhe bataya wo pandrah din pahle mere ghar aaye the. Un dono ke sath me ek aur ladka tha deepak naam ka. Wo teeno mere ghar aaye the apne liye kamra dhudhne. Maine dono ko apne yaha rahne ke liye kiraye se kamra de diya. Ham apne ghar me ham do miya biwi hi rahte the to unke aa jane se hame laga ki wo bhi hamare bachche jaise hi hain. Hamare paas rahege to hame bhi sahara hi milega. Unke sath jo ek aur deepak naam ka ladka aaya tha usne nakul ko apni company me naukari lagwa diya tha lekin dusre hi din neelam aur nakul ki khabar news paper me chhapi dikhi to nakul ne naukari chhod di. Use dar tha ki news me chhapi uski photo ki vajah se koi use pahchan kar police me khabar na kar de. Uske baad se wo dono ghar ke andar hi rahe. Wo dono ghar se bhaag kar aaye the aur dono ek dusre se prem karte the ye baat mujhe bhi pata thi. Main ye to samajhta tha ki un dono ko is tarah bhaag kar nahi aana chahiye tha magar ab jab wo bhaag kar aa hi gaye the to unhe aisi jagah par rahne dena maine thik hi samjha jaha par unhe kisi baat ki taklif na ho aur wo dono surakhsit rahe. Akhbar me chhapi news ki vajah se dono ghar ke andar hi rahne lage the. Bich bich me deepak naam ka wo ladka dono se milne aata rahta tha. Abhi kal bhi shaam ko wo aaya tha. Uske baad fir raat me wo police wale aaye the aur wo neelam aur nakul ko le kar chale gaye the. Ab meri samajh me ye nahi aa raha ki jab wo police wale un dono ko le gaye the to wo dono police station me kyo nahi mile. Wo dono police wale bhi nahi dikhaai diye jo raat me aaye the." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Wo dikhaai dege bhi nahi uncle ji. Aapko is maamle ke bare me abhi thik se pata nahi hai is liye aapko samajh nahi aa raha." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Kis maamle ki baat kar rahe ho tum." Uncle ji ne puchha to ashok uncle ne short me sab kuch unhe bata diya.
"Hey bhagwan to ye baat hai." Uncle ji ne shock ho ke kaha.
"Haa aur mujhe pura yakin hai ki deepak naam ka wo ladka unhi logo me se ek hai. Aapne bataya ki kal wo shaam ko aaya tha to fir usi ne kiya hai ye sab." Ashok uncle kaha.
"Fir to wo police wale bhi usi ke aadmi rahe hoge jo kal raat aaye the. Wo police wale nakli rahe hoge kyo ki abhi jab main thane gaya tha to waha par maine un dono ko nahi dekha aur na hi waha ke police walo ne unke huliye wale kisi police wale ke bare me bataya. Iska to yahi matlab hua ki kal raat jo do police wale mere ghar aaye the wo dono nakli the." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Ab to shayad yahi sach hai aur ye bhi sach ho sakta hai ki wo log neelam aur nakul ko raat me hi yaha se yaani pune se baahar le gaye hoge." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Par wo log unhe kaha le gaye hoge. Mujhe to ab tumhari baate sun kar un dono ke liye bahut chinta hone lagi hai beta." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Wo log un dono ko wapas mumbai le gaye hoge. Kyo ki neelam ki dost naina ko un logo ne mumbai me hi kaid kar ke rakha tha aur neelam ko bhi pakad rakhe the shayad. Lekin ek baat samajh me nahi aa rahi ki jab neelam aur nakul pahle unhi logo ki pakad me the to news me unke bare me khabar chhapwane ka kya matlab tha." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Koi to matlab raha hi hoga. Mujhe to ab un dono ki bahut chinta ho rahi hai. Unhe kuch bhi kar ke bacha lo beta warna wo log pata nahi unke sath kya kya karege." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Chinta mat kijiye uncle ji. Abhi tak hame bhi andaja nahi tha ki wo log kaha par the lekin aapke mil jane se kafi kuch pata chal gaya hai. Bhagwan ka lakh lakh shukra hai ki ittefaak se aap mujhe mil gaye. Ab main SP ko is bare me fauran hi suchit karuga ki wo log un dono ko mumbai le gaye hain is liye ab unhe wahi par talash kare." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Beta yaha se is taraf mod lo. Kuch hi doori par mera ghar hai. Waise tum mil gaye ho to ab mujhe un dono ki jyada chinta nahi rahegi. Mujhe yakeen hai ki tum unhe jaldi hi khoj loge aur unhe hifajat se apne paas le aaoge. Meri bas itni hi ichha hai ki ek baar main fir se unhe apni aakho se dekh lu." Uncle ji ne kaha.
"Aap mujhe apne ghar ka pata bata dijiyega. Main aapko unke mil jane par ya to khud aa kar bataauga ya fir kisi maadhyam se aap tak khabar bhejwa duga." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
Kuch hi der me ashok uncle ki car uncle ji ke ghar ke samne aa kar ruk gai. Ashok uncle pahle utre uske baad unhone sahara de kar uncle ji ko bhi utara. Car ki awaaj sun kar ghar ke andar se aunty ji bhi gate khol kar baahar aa gai thi. Uncle ji ki haalat dekh kar aur unke sath ashok uncle ko dekh kar wo ekdam se ghabra gai thi. Wo bhaag kar unke paas aai aur puchne lagi ki inhe kya hua hai to uncle ji ne khud hi kaha ki wo raaste me sadak par gir gaye the is liye chot lag gai thi.
Ashok uncle uncle ji ko le ke ghar ke andar aa gaye. Ghar ke andar aane ke baad ashok uncle ne aunty ji se sab sach sach bata diya ki kya hua tha. Sari baat sunne ke baad aunty ji ki haalat kharaab ho gai thi. Uncle ji ke samjhane par unhe thodi raahat mili. Uske baad uncle ji ne wo sab bhi aunty ji ko bataya jo baate unki ashok uncle se hui thi. Sari baate sunne ke baad aunty ji bhi hairaan rah gai thi aur chinta me pad gai thi.
Kuch der rukne ke baad ashok uncle ne unse jane ki ijajat li aur kaha ki ab unhe jald se jald un dono ko dhudhne ke liye kaam par lagna hoga. Ashok uncle ki is baat se uncle aunty dono ne ijajat de di. Ijajat milne par ashok uncle waha se fir aane ka wada kar ke ghar se baahar aa gaye. Uske baad wo apni car me baith kar teji se car ko aage badha diya.
Ratan bhaiya ko message bhejne ke baad maine mobile ko apne bag me waise hi chhupa ke rakh diya jaise pahle chhupa ke rakha hua tha. Uske baad main chup chaap bed par aa kar baith gai thi. Mere man me is wakt ratan bhaiya ki wo message wali baate hi chal rahi thi. Main un baato ko soch soch kar khush ho rahi thi. Maine bhagwan ko yaad karte huye unhe iske liye thanks kahne lagi.
Ratan bhaiya ki vajah se hi ye sab possible ho paya tha warna meri shadi nakul se karne ke liye dad maan jaye ye to asambhav hi tha. Mere man me ratan bhaiya ke liye bahut jyada ijjat aur samman bhar gaya tha aur mera dil kar raha tha ki main kisi jaadu ki tarah unke paas pahuch jaau aur unse lipat jaau aur fir unse kahu ki aapne jo mere liye kiya hai uske badle ab agar wo meri jaan bhi maag lege to main haste haste unhe apni jaan de dugi. Ratan bhaiya ki abhi shadi nahi hui thi is liye ab main bhagwan se yahi dua kar rahi thi ki unhe is sansar ki sabse kubsurat ladki mile jisse unki shadi ho jaye aur wo unhe bahut jyada pyar kare.
Kafi der tak main yahi sab sochti rahi aur fir jab mere man me ye baat aai ki ab mujhe aur nakul ko jald hi waapas gaon jana chahiye to mujhe ekdam se nakul ka khayaal aaya aur ye bhi khayaal aaya ki is wakt ham dono kis situation me hain. Pichhli raat ham dono ke sath bada ajeeb haadsa hua tha. Ham dono ko behosh kar diya gaya tha aur fir jab meri aankh khuli to main yaha rohan ke flat me thi. Mere dimaag me deepak ki wo baat gooj uthi jo usne hamare behosh hone ke baad us police wale se kahi thi. Us wakt main puri tarah behosh nahi hui thi is liye mujhe uski awaaj pahchanne me mushkil nahi hui thi aur yahi vajah thi ki uski wo baat sun kar mujhe us wakt jhatka laga tha. Magar abhi jab wo rohan ke sath aaya tha aur usne jo kuch kaha tha usse main soch me pad gai thi.
Main deepak ki un baato ko hi soche ja rahi thi. Uski baato se kahi bhi aisa nahi lag raha tha ki usne us wakt koi ulta seedha kaam kiya tha magar pata nahi kyo mujhe kuch thik nahi lag raha tha. Mujhe ekdam se ghabrahat aur bechaini si hone lagi thi. Nakul ka khayaal aaya to main sochne lagi ki wo is wakt kaha aur kis haal me hoga. Mujhe uski chinta hone lagi to main jaldi se bed se niche utri aur darwaje ki taraf badh chali. Mera dil jor jor se dhadakne laga tha.
Darwaje ke paas pahuch kar main ruk gai aur baahar ki kisi bhi awaaj ko sunne ki koshish ki magar kuch sunaai nahi diya. Baahar ekdam se sannata sa chhaya hua tha. Mujhe samajh nahi aaya ki rohan aur deepak flat ke andar hi hain to fir itna sannata kyo hai. Abhi kuch der pahle to wo dono yahi the. Kuch der is bare me sochne ke baad main chupke se kamre se baahar nikli. Baahar charo taraf dekhne ke baad main kuch doori par bane ek aur kamre ki taraf badh chali. Mera anumaan tha ki us band kamre me shayad nakul hoga.
Har taraf chhaai khamoshi mujhe badi ajeeb si lag rahi thi. Iske pahle jab main aur nakul yaha rahte the tab mujhe aisa kuch bhi feel nahi hota tha magar aaj is sannate ko dekh kar mera dil pata nahi kyo jor jor se dhadak raha tha. Kuch hi der me main us kamre ke paas pahuch gai. Darwaja band tha aur mujhe pakka pata nahi tha ki us kamre me nakul hai ki nahi. Maine to bas anumaan hi lagaya tha. Ho sakta hai ki us kamre me rohan aur deepak ho ye soch kar maine awaaj dena thik nahi samjha magar pata to karna hi tha ki nakul kaha hai.
Maine kaapte haath se darwaje ko andar ki taraf dhakela to darwaja khulta chala gaya. Mera dil aur bhi teji se dhadakne laga. Man me kai sare khayaal ubharne lage the. Darwaja jab adha khul gaya to maine darte huye apne kadam andar ki taraf badhaye. Darwaje ke andar aane ke baad maine kamre me najar ghumaai to meri najar bed par padi. Bed khaali tha magar bed par bichhi safed chaadar par jo silwate thi usse mujhe andaja ho gaya ki is bed par koi leta jarur tha magar kaun leta tha ye sawaal ab mere man me ubhar aaya tha.
Us kamre me nakul ko na pa kar mujhe aur bhi jyada uski chinta hone lagi. Aage badh kar main kamre se attach bathroom ke paas aai aur anumaan lagane lagi ki bathroom me koi hai ki nahi magar bathroom se bhi koi awaaj ya aahat nahi aai to maine bathroom ke darwaje ko khol kar uske andar dekha. Nakul bathroom me bhi nahi tha. Ab main sochne lagi ki kaha hoga wo. Main jaldi hi kamre se baahar aai aur flat me har jagah nakul ko dhudhne lagi magar nakul mujhe kahi najar na aaya. Pure flat me mere alawa koi nahi tha.
Flat me main akeli hi thi is wakt. Maine socha rohan aur deepak bhi nahi hain yaha to kahi aisa to nahi ki nakul unke sath hi ho. Us wakt deepak ya rohan me se kisi ne bhi nakul ke bare me koi baat nahi ki thi is vajah se mujhe aur bhi jyada tension hone lagi. Tabhi mere man me sawaal ubhra ki kahi aisa to nahi ki yaha sirf mujhe hi bas laya gaya ho aur nakul ko nahi magar fir khayaal aaya ki deepak bhala aisa kyo karega. Mujhe kuch samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki ab main kya karu. Tension ki vajah se mera sir dukhne laga tha.
......
Nakul rohan aur deepak ke sath tha aur is wakt wo teeno flat se door ek aisi jagah par the jaha par charo taraf sirf pedh hi pedh the. Yaha ka look bilkul waisa hi tha jaise filmo me hero heroine ka gana gaate wakt hota tha. Charo taraf pedh ek tarah se jungle jaisa scene tha. Un logo ke peechhe ki taraf kareeb sau gaj ki doori par khula area najar aa raha tha. Yaha se door shahar ki badi badi imaarte najar aa rahi thi.
Pedho ke bich pattharo ke teele the jinme ek ek kar ke rohan deepak aur nakul baithe huye the. Deepak aur rohan ek teele par sath hi baithe huye the jabki nakul un dono ke samne wale teele par akela baitha hua tha. Is wakt uske chehre se aisa prateet ho raha tha jaise wo kisi baat se pareshan ho.
"Isme itna sochne ki kya baat hai bhai. Maine tumhe sab kuch bata diya hai. Yakeen maano bhai bahut hi kam samay me tumhare paas dher sara paisa hoga aur har wo cheej hogi jiska tumne khwaab dekha hoga. Is pyar vyar ke chakkar me apni life ko barbad na karo. Aaj ke time me koi bhi insaan is pyar vyar ke chakkar me nahi padta. Kyo ki isme aksar insaan sirf devdas hi ban ke rah jata hai aur fir apni puri life ko jhand bana leta hai. Are life mili hai to aise jiyo ki duniya ka har maja le lo. Jab jeb me paisa aa jayega na to ek neelam kya hajaaro neelam ki aage pichhe line lag jayegi. Uske baad tum jaise chaaho unke maje lete raho." Rohan ne kaha.
"Mujhe nahi pata tha bhai ki dosti ki aad me tum hamare sath ye game khel rahe ho. Main to yahi samajhta tha ki aaj bhi duniya me tum jaise achhe insaan hain jo kisi besahara ko sahara dete hain. Main tumhe duniya ka sabse achha insaan samajhta tha magar tum to bahut hi jyada gire huye insaan nikle. Jis daulat ko pane ki tum baat kar rahe ho us daulat ke pichhe kitni masoom ladkiyo ki jindagi barbaad hogi is bare me tum sochna hi nahi chaahte. Tum mujhe ye bataao rohan bhai ki tum ek ameer baap ke bete ho to tumhe daulat ki kami kaise pad gai. Tumhare dad ke paas to itna paisa hai ki tum jaise chaahe aish kar sakte ho iske bavjud tumne aisa gira hua kaam kiya. Jab acche karm karne wale paise se tumhara man nahi bhara to is paap ke paise se kaise tumhe santusti milegi. Apni khushi aur apne aisho araam ke liye tum masoom ladkiyo ki jindagi barbaad karte ho aur kahte ho ki isi me sansar ka asli aanand hai. Fir to tumhe aanand ke bare me pata hi nahi hai ki aanand hota kya hai. Hame do wakt ki roti bhale hi na mile lekin kisi ke sath galat na kar ke bhukha rahne me bhi ek aanand hi milta hai. Kam se kam dil ko tasalli to rahti hai ki apni bhukh ko shaant karne ke liye hamne kisi ke sath kuch galat nahi kiya hai." Nakul ne kaha.
"Ye to bhaashan dene laga boss." Deepak ne rohan se kaha.
"Jab naseeb foote hote hain to log aise hi bhaashan dete hain bhai. Is bhai ke upar pyar ka bhoot sawaar hai is liye ise hamari baate galat lag rahi hain. Ham to bhai ke liye achha hi karne ki soch rahe the magar lagta hai bhai ko bhukho hi marna hai." Rohan ne kaha.
"Mujhe dhan daulat ka koi laalach nahi hai rohan bhai. Bhagwan ne jitna mujhe diya hai usi se main khush hu. Agar kisi ki jindagi barbaad kar ke hi daulat milti hai aur usse khushiya milti hain to bhai na to mujhe aisi daulat chahiye aur na hi aisi khushi chahiye. Tumne hamari madad ki uske liye bahut bahut dhanyawad hai tumhara. Main tumhe ye nahi kahuga ki tum ye sab kaam na karo kyo ki main samajh chuka hu ki tum aisi daulat ko apne se door nahi karna chahoge. Meri bas yahi request hai tumse ki ab hame yaha se jane do. Waise bhi neelam ke dad hamari shadi ke liye maan hi jayege to ab is khushi se badh kar mere liye koi khushi nahi ho sakti." Nakul ne kaha.
"Aise kaise jane de nakul bhai. Tum ye soch bhi kaise sakte ho ki ab ham tumhe yaha se jane dege. Hamara sara raaj janne ke baad ab tum yaha se nahi ja sakte bhai." Rohan ne kaha.
"Ye tum kya kah rahe ho rohan bhai." Nakul ne chauk ke kaha.
"Wahi jo tumne suna bhai. Sara khel hi isi liye racha tha hamne. Asal me tumhara jo gaon me dost tha na satish naam ka wo mera hi aadmi hai. Uska kaam yahi hai ki wo gaon ki bholi bhaali ladkiyo ko jaal me fasaye aur fir mumbai me yaha mere paas le aaye. Gaon me usne tumse tabhi dosti ki jab use pata chala ki neelam se tumhara taaka bhida hua hai. Usne tumhare bare me sab pata kiya. Jab use pata chal gaya ki tum ek gareeb ghar se ho aur anaath bhi ho to use ye bhi samajh aa gaya ki neelam ka ameer baap tumhare sath apni beti ki shadi kabhi nahi karega. Bas uske baad usne tumse dosti ki aur tumhe bich bich me samjhata raha ki agar tumhara pyar sachcha hai to tumhari shadi neelam se jarur hogi. Time to laga nakul bhai magar aakhir tumhari love story us stage par pahuch hi gai jaha par tum dono ke samne bas ek hi raasta bacha. I mean bhaagne ka raasta. Satish ne tumhari har tarah se help ki thi. Yaha tak ki usne hospital me tumhara ilaaj bhi karwaya tha aur fir uske baad usi ne tum dono ke liye train ki ticket bhi banwai thi. Satish waha ki har report mujhe deta rahta tha. Usne bataya ki neelam ki ek dost bhi hai naina to maine usse kaha ki use bhi jaal me fasaao magar naina uske jaal me fasne aa hi nahi rahi thi. Kyo ki use kisi se pyar nahi hua tha warna uska bhi dimaag tum dono ki tarah kaam na karta. Wo kafi samajhdar thi aur tej bhi lekin maine satish se kah diya tha ki chahe jo karna pade magar naina ko bhi yaha le ke aana hai use. Uske baad bhagwan ki daya se satish ko mauka mil hi gaya use yaha laane ka. Us shaam jab naina neelam se aakhiri baar mil kar apne ghar ja rahi thi to satish aur prakash bhi uske pichhe lag gaye the. Sham ka adhera tha hi is liye jaise hi sunsaan sadak par use un dono ne akela dekha to plan ke hisab se use daboch liya un logo ne. Bechari ko behosh kar ke utha le gaye apne adde par aur fir jab tum dono udhar train me baithe to dusri taraf satish aur prakash bhi naina ko le kar raato raat car se mumbai ke liye nikal liye." Rohan ne kaha.
"To naina ko tumne pakadwaya tha aur ham dono ye soch kar pareshan the ki wo achanak se gayab kaise ho gai hogi." Nakul ne kaha.
"Sab apna hi kiya dhara tha magar ek problem ho gai. Mere wo dono aadmi use mumbai to le aaye aur mere kahne par use ek jagah kaid kar ke bhi rakha magar wo saali unhe chakma de kar faraar ho gai." Rohan ne kaha.
"Ye kya kah rahe ho tum." Nakul ne shock ho ke pucha.
"Haa bhai yahi sach hai. Wo unki kaid se unhe chakma de kar furr ho gai. Isme galti bhi satish ki hi thi. Wo sala uske pyar me pad gaya tha. Waha gaon me hi wo naina ko dekh kar aahe bharne laga tha. Ek do baar wo naina se mila bhi tha magar usse kah na saka tha. Yaha jab usne is bare me mujhe bataya to mera bheja garam ho gaya. Anyway to kahne ka matlab ye ki us saale ki vajah se naina hamari kaid se bhaag gai. Hamne use bahut talaash karwaya magar wo haath nahi lag saki." Rohan ne kaha.
"Mujhe to abhi bhi yakeen nahi ho raha ki ye sab tumne kiya hai." Nakul ne kaha.
"News paper par tum dono ki khabar bhi maine hi chhapwai thi bhai." Rohan ne muskura ke kaha.
"Kya. Par kyo. Aisa kyo kiya tha tumne." Nakul ne pucha.
"Karna pada bhai. Tum deepak ke kahne par pune se yaha aa hi nahi rahe the to majburan mujhe news paper me tum dono ki khabar chhapwani padi. Udhar deepak tha hi to usne ek aadmi ko police wala bana kar tumhare adde par bhej diya tha jisse tum dono dar jaao aur waha se waapas yaha aane ke liye deepak se kaho magar itne par bhi tum yaha aane ko raaji nahi huye. Uske baad ab yahi last chara tha ki tumhe direct police ke dwara pakad hi liya jaaye aur fir yaha le aaya jaye." Rohan ne kaha.
"Ab ye sab baate chhodo boss aur ye bataao ki ab aage kya karna hai. Kyo ki isne to tumhara offer thukra diya hai." Deepak ne rohan se kaha.
"Karna wahi hai bhai jo hamne decide kiya tha." Rohan ne kaha aur fir usne deepak ko aakho se koi ishara kiya.
"Kya karne wale ho tum." Nakul ne ghabrate huye pucha.
"Tension na lo bhai. Ham dono ne decide kiya tha ki apne dhandhe ke bare me tumse baat karege. Tum maan jaaoge to thik nahi to tumhe waapas gaon bhej dege magar shart ye hogi ki tum hamare is dhandhe ke bare me kisi ko kuch nahi bataoge." Rohan ne kaha.
"Main kisi se kuch nahi kahuga bhai. Ye tumhara kaam hai jo man me aaye karo. Bas hame yaha se jane do." Nakul ne kaha.
Rohan ke ishare par deepak uth kar ek taraf ko chal diya tha. Usne jaate wakt apne hath ki sabse chhoti ugli dikha di thi. Matlab ki wo bathroom karne ja raha hai. Wo chalte huye nakul ke side se nikal gaya tha. Idhar rohan nakul se baate karta raha. Nakul ko bilkul bhi andaja nahi tha ki rohan ne deepak ko koi ishara kiya tha jiske baad kya hone wala tha.
Nakul rohan se baat kar hi raha tha ki tabhi pichhe se deepak ne nakul ki naak par apne haath ki hatheli rakh di aur jaldi se use dusre hath se pakad bhi liya. Nakul ko iski ummid nahi thi is liye jab tak use kuch karne ko sujhta tab tak use chakkar aane laga tha. Kuch hi palo me uska chhatpatana band ho gaya aur fir kuch hi palo me wo behosh ho gaya.
"Well done bhai. Achha hua ki chloroform sath laye the tum warna hamara raaj janne ke baad ye hamare hath asaani se nahi aata." Rohan ne kaha.
"Maine to pahle hi tumse kaha tha boss ki ye hamare dhandhe me aane ke liye raaji nahi hoga." Deepak ne kaha.
"Koi baat nahi bhai. Hamara farj tha ise samjhana ab ise hi samajh nahi aaya to ham kya kar sakte hain. Chalo ab ise utha kar le chalo yaha se. Car yaha se kafi door hai is liye tumhe ise apne kandhe par lena padega." Rohan ne kaha.
"Ye to main pahle hi karna chaahta tha boss lekin tum hi ise samjhane me time khoti kar rahe the. Chalo der se hi sahi ab ye kaam to ho hi gaya. Ab jald hi iski us chhamiya ke sath maja karne ko milega." Deepak ne kaha.
"Jaldi chalo ab. Wo is wakt flat me akeli hai aur waha par wo kisi ko na dekh ghabra bhi rahi hogi." Rohan ne kaha.
"Kya baat hai boss uski badi chinta kar rahe ho tum." Deepak ne haste huye kaha.
"Chinta to hogi hi bhai. Aisa maal badi mushkil se haath me waapas aaya hai. Kahi naina ki tarah wo bhi furr ho gai to hamare sare armaano par paani fir jayega." Rohan ne kaha.
"Wo kahi nahi ja payegi boss. Flat ko baahar se lock kar diya tha maine. Aise me wo flat se nikal hi nahi payegi to furr kaise ho jayegi." Deepak ne kaha.
Deepak ne nakul ko utha kar apne kandhe par taag liya aur ab wo rohan ke piche piche chal raha tha. Thodi der me wo khule hisse ki taraf aa gaye jaha par rohan ki car khadi thi. Rohan ne car ka pichhla darwaja khola to deepak ne nakul ko sheet par lita diya. Rohan ke kahne par wo bhi dusri taraf se usi sheet par baith gaya. Baithne ke baad deepak ne nakul ko bhi utha kar apne bagal se baitha diya aur use sahara de kar pakad liya. Uske baad rohan ne car ko start kiya aur aage badha diya.
......
Kamre me bed par baithi main yahi soch rahi thi ki rohan aur deepak aakhir kaha gaye hoge. Kafi der ho gai thi aur wo dono wapas nahi aaye the. Mujhe sabse jyada nakul ki chinta ho rahi thi. Mere man me baar baar ye khayaal aa raha tha ki kuch to gadbad hai. Ab gadbad kya hai ye mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha magar baar baar ye jarur lag raha tha ki kuch bura hone wala hai. Main jitna is bare me sochti utna hi meri ghabrahat badhti ja rahi thi.
Kamre se nikal kar main kai baar baahar dekh chuki thi magar har taraf bas khamoshi hi chhaai hui thi. Khidki par lage glass se baahar dekhti to mumbai shahar ka najara dikhta tha. Is sannate me mujhe ek ajeeb si ghutan ho rahi thi aur dar bhi lag raha tha. Mujhe yaad aaya ki ratan bhaiya ne mujhse message me kaha tha ki agar main kisi musibat me rahu to main unhe call kar ke ya message kar ke jarur bataau. Wo meri help karne ke liye har wakt ready rahege.
Mujhe baar baar lag raha tha ki kuch galat hone wala hai aur mujhe ghabrahat bhi ho rahi thi is liye maine ratan bhaiya ko is bare me batane ka soch liya. Main jaldi se bed se niche utri aur fir apne bag se mobile nikala. Kisi anjaani ashanka ki vajah se mera dil ekdam teji se dhadakne laga tha. Maine mobile nikaal kar jaldi se ratan bhaiya ko message type karne ka socha magar fir maine socha ki isme time lagega aur wo log pata nahi kab yaha aa jaye is liye maine direct bhaiya ko call karne ka socha aur ratan bhaiya ko call laga diya. Mobile kaan se lagaya to kaan me ring jane ki awaaj aane lagi. Pata nahi kyo par ekdam se mujhe lagne laga ki kitna jaldi bhaiya se meri baat ho jaye. Tabhi ratan bhaiya ne call utha liya aur unki awaaj mere kaan me padi.
"Hello neel kaisi hai tu. Maine tera message padha. Achha sun abhi main kisi jaruri kaam se baahar hu is liye main tujhse shaam ko phone laga kar baat karuga." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Nahi bhaiya mujhe aapse abhi baat karni hai aur aapse baat karna bhi bahut jaruri hai. Mujhe aisa lag raha hai bhaiya ki main aur nakul kisi musibat me fas gaye hain. Mujhe is wakt bahut dar lag raha hai bhaiya." Baat karte karte meri awaaj bhaari ho gai aur ekdam se main ro padi.
"Neel tu thik to hai na aur ye tu kaisi musibat ki baat kar rahi hai. Mujhe thik se bata ki kya baat hai." Bhaiya ne pucha. Mujhe unki baato se aisa laga jaise wo ekdam se mere liye fikramand ho gaye ho.
Unke puchne par maine unhe sab kuch bata diya. Maine unhe saari ki saari kahani hi bata di ki kaise main yaha mumbai me nakul ke sath pahuchi aur fir kaise rohan naam ka ek ladka nakul ke dost ka dost mila jisne ham dono ko apne flat me rakha. Kuch din yaha ham rahe aur fir ek din rohan ne bataya ki uske ghar par do log aaye hain jo uske dad ke dost hain. Rohan ke batane se hi mujhe pata chala tha ki dad aur sanjay uncle mumbai aaye the. Us wakt ham dono rohan ke flat me hi chhupe the. Kuch din baad jab ye pata chala ki dad rohan ke dad ke kahne par mumbai police ki help se hame khojne lage hain to ham dono is baat se ghabra gaye aur fir ham dono rohan ki help se raato raat pune chale gaye.
Maine ratan bhaiya ko pune ki bhi sari kahani bataai aur fir ye bhi bataya ki waha par kaise hame do police walo ne pakad liya aur fir hame le kar wo raat me aa rahe the to raaste me ham dono ko behosh kar diya gaya. Fir jab meri aakh khuli to main wapas mumbai me rohan ke hi flat par thi. Maine ratan bhaiya ko bataya ki is wakt main rohan ke flat par hi hu magar nakul ka kahi pata nahi hai. Maine unhe bataya ki subah rohan aur uska dost deepak ne mujhse kya kaha tha.
Meri saari baate sun kar ratan bhaiya shock rah gaye the. Kuch der tak unki koi awaaj hi nahi aai to maine unhe pukara. Mere pukarne par ratan bhaiya ne kaha ki kahi aisa to nahi ki nakul tujhe waha chhod kar chala gaya ho. Bhaiya ki is baat par maine kaha nahi aisa nahi ho sakta. Nakul mujhe chhod kar kahi nahi ja sakta balki koi dusri baat hai.
Maine bhaiya se kaha ki mujhe kisi anhoni ki ashanka ho rahi hai aur mujhe bahut dar bhi lag raha hai. Meri baat par bhaiya ne kaha ki chinta mat karo main abhi dad se baat karta hu.
"Dad ko batana bhaiya ki wo mumbai me apne jis dost ke yaha ruke huye the rohan unhi ka ladka hai aur main usi ke flat par hu is wakt." Maine kaha.
"Chal thik hai neel. Main dad se abhi baat karta hu. Tu apna mobile on hi rakhna aur haa ghabrana mat. Tune achha kiya jo mujhe sab bata diya. Tu bilkul bhi chinta mat karna. Tera ye bhai tere sath kuch nahi hone dega aur na hi nakul ke sath." Ratan bhaiya ne ye kaha aur fir call cut kar di.
Main ratan bhaiya se kahna chahti thi ki aap kitne achhe hain bhaiya aur ek main thi ki aap par hi shak kar rahi thi. Meri aakho se ashu bah chale jinhe maine pochha aur fir mobile ko wapas bag me chhupa kar rakh diya. Ratan bhaiya ko sab kuch bata kar ab mujhe aisa feel ho raha tha jaise ab sab thik ho jayega. Tabhi baahar gate par kuch awaaj si sunaai di mujhe to meri dhadkane badh gai. Ek anjana dar mere andar sir uthane laga.
Kamre me bed par main apni saase roke baithi thi ki tabhi kamre ke khule darwaje ke paar mujhe rohan aur deepak najar aaye. Dono bade khush dikh rahe the. Meri najro ne nakul ko talaash karna chaha magar unke sath mujhe nakul najar na aaya. Mere man ka dar aur bhi badh gaya ki nakul kaha hai.
Uncle ji ke ghar se nikalne ke baad ashok uncle ne raaste me hi SP rama shankar ko phone kar ke saari baat bata di thi. Ashok ki baate sunne ke baad SP ne kaha ki agar ye sab sach hai to ab neelam aur nakul mumbai me hi hoge is liye unhe mumbai me hi talaash kiya jayega. Ashok uncle ne SP se kaha ki ab wo wakt barbaad na karte huye jald hi is maamle me kuch kare warna bahut bada anarth ho sakta hai. Ashok uncle ki is baat par SP ne unse kah diya tha ki ab wo is baat ki chinta na kare kyo ki ab wo khud bhi time barbaad nahi karege.
Ghar aa kar ashok uncle ne sabko saari baate bataai to sab ye jaan kar shock ho gaye the ki neelam aur nakul yaha pune me jinke yaha rah rahe the unse bade hi sanjog se uncle ki mulakaat ho gai thi aur saari baato ka pata bhi chal gaya tha.
"Agar un uncle ki baat sach hai to fir ab neelam sach me bade khatre me hai. Wo log un dono ko mumbai le gaye hoge aur ab jane wo log un dono ke sath kya karege. Mujhe to dono ki bahut chinta ho rahi hai ashok." Saroj aunty ne kaha.
"Chinta to mujhe bhi ho rahi hai saroj magar chinta karne se hoga kya. Main apni taraf se puri koshish kar raha hu ki un dono ka jald se jald pata lag jaye aur SP unhe khoj le." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Mujhe lagta hai dad ki SP ke sath aapko bhi mumbai jana chahiye. Aap sath me rahege to SP apne kaam me dhilaai nahi karega." Divya ne kaha.
"Divya sahi kah rahi hai uncle. Aap SP ke sath jayege to better rahega." Naina ne kaha.
"Shayad tum dono thik kah rahi ho. Mujhe SP ke sath waha jana chahiye aur iske liye mujhe aaj hi nikalna hoga." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Main bhi aapke sath chalugi uncle." Naina ne kaha.
"Tum waha kyo jaaogi beti. Nahi nahi tumhara waha jana thik nahi hai. Tum yahi raho. Yaha tum mahfuj ho." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Main mumbai se yaha neelam ko khojne aai thi uncle. Wo meri dost hai aur ab tak to un logo ne use bhi bataya hoga ki unhone mujhe bhi pakad liya tha. Unki is baat se wo mere liye bhi pareshan hogi. Aapke sath jaaugi to main bhi usse mil lugi aur fir wahi se main un dono ke sath gaon chali jaaugi. Rahi baat mere mahfuj hone ki to main aapke sath mahfuj hi rahugi uncle." Naina ne kaha.
"Naina thik kah rahi hai ashok. Ise bhi apne sath hi le jaaiye aur haa agar ho sake to gaon me inke mata pita ko bhi khabar bhejwa dijiyega ki ye log mil gai hain. Is liye ab wo inke liye pareshan na ho." Saroj aunty ne kaha.
"Thik hai fir taiyar ho jaao. Ham kuch hi der me yaha se niklege. Waise surendra bhai sahab aur sanjay bhai sahab ka phone number to hai nahi mere paas to main kaise unhe suchit karuga." Ashok uncle ne kaha.
"Koi to jariya hoga hi un tak khabar pahuchane ka. Dekh lijiyega ya fir neelam ko number pata hoga. Jab wo mil jayegi to usi se number le kar gaon me in dono ke mata pita ko suchit kar dena." Saroj aunty ne kaha.
"Haa ye thik rahega." Ashok uncle ne kaha aur fir wo apne kamre ki taraf uth kar chale gaye.
"Jaao naina beti tum bhi taiyar ho jaao. Divya tu ja naina ke sath aur ise apne kapde de de pahanne ke liye." Saroj aunty ne kaha to divya ji mom kah kar sofe se uth gai. Uske baad naina aur divya apne kamre ki taraf badh gai.
Bees minute baad ashok uncle aur naina taiyar ho kar mumbai jane ke liye ready ho gaye. Ashok uncle ne SP ko phone kar ke bata diya ki wo apni car se mumbai ja rahe hain to wo use wahi milege. Ashok uncle ki baat par SP ne kaha thik hai. Divya ne naina ko apna ek chhota sa bag de diya tha jisme usne naina ke liye ek do jodi kapde aur kuch jarurat ka samaan rakh diya tha. Ashok uncle ne bhi saroj aunty ke kahne par ek chhota sa bag le liya tha. Saroj aunty ka kahna tha ki kya pata waha par kitne din lag jaye is liye pahanne ke liye kuch kapde wo apne sath hi le jaye. Naina divya aur saroj aunty se gale lag kar mili aur fir ashok uncle ke sath ghar se baahar ki taraf chal di. Thodi hi der me wo dono car me baith kar mumbai ki taraf chal diye.

Udhar gaon me....
Ratan bhaiya teji se moter cycle chalate huye ghar pahuche. Unhone raaste me hi phone kar ke ravendra uncle ko is bare me bata diya tha. Jab wo ghar pahuche to ghar me dad aur ravendra uncle ke sath sath sanjay uncle bhi baithe huye the. Kuch hi doori par mom log bhi baithi hui thi. Sabke chehro par chinta jhalak rahi thi.
"Itni der kyo laga di tumne aane me." Ratan bhaiya ke aate hi ravendra uncle ne puchha.
"Wo main dad aur sanjay uncle ke liye train ki ticket banwane chala gaya tha. Usi me thoda time lag gaya mujhe." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Train ki ticket wo kis liye." Dad ne pucha.
"Maine socha ki aisi khabar sun kar aap dono fauran hi mumbai jayege is liye udhar se aap dono ke liye ticket bhi banwa ke le aaya hu." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Oh ye tumne bahut achha kaam kiya hai aur shayad pahli baar. Kher ravemdra ne hame sab kuch bata diya hai. Hame to abhi bhi yakeen nahi ho raha ki hamare dost ka beta itna gira hua hoga. Man to karta hai ki abhi usko phone kare aur uski aisi taisi kare magar shayad aisa karna abhi thik nahi hoga. Kyo ki baat bigad bhi sakti hai. Isse achha yahi hai ki use phone na kar ke seedha uske paas hi pahuch jaye. Uske baad aankho ke saamne hi har baat hogi." Dad ne gusse me kaha.
"Train teen baje ki hai dad. Kal das ya gyaarah baje aap log mumbai pahuch jayege." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Thik hai. Hamare jane ki taiyari karo fatafat. Sanjay ja tu bhi fatafat taiyar ho ke aa ja. Wakt bilkul bhi nahi hai hamare paas." Dad ne kaha to sanjay uncle uth kar apne ghar ki taraf nikal gaye.
"Neelam aur us ladke nakul ka to pata chal gaya lekin sanjay bhai sahab ki ladki naina ka pata abhi tak nahi chala. Kahi aisa to nahi ki un logo ne naina ko bhi pakad rakha ho." Ravendra unce ne dad se kaha.
"Agar un logo ne naina ko pakad rakha hota to hamari beti is bare me ratan ko jarur batati lekin usne is bare me kuch nahi bataya. Iska matlab to yahi hua ki naina un logo ke paas nahi hai. Hame aaj tak samajh nahi aaya ki ye ladki aakhir gai to gai kaha." Dad ne kaha.
"Jis din neelam yaha se gai thi usi din se naina bhi gayab hai. Abhi tak hame is baat ka pata nahi tha ki asal baat kya hai. Aaj jab neelam ne ratan ko is bare me bataya tab ham is bare me soch rahe hain to naina agar usi din se gayab hai to ho sakta hai ki yahi baat ho." Ravendra uncle ne kaha.
"Neelam ne mujhse sirf ye kaha tha ki use aur nakul ko behosh kar ke raato raat pune se mumbai laya gaya hai. Use to pata bhi nahi chala tha ki behoshi ki haalat me use kaha le jaya ja raha hai. Uski jab aakh khuli to wo mumbai me us rohan ke hi flat wale kamre me thi. Is sabse wo ghabraai hui thi aur jab usne nakul ko us flat me nahi dekha to wo dar bhi gai hai. Uske man me dar aur ghabrahat bhar gai hai. Isi liye use lagta hai ki kuch galat hone wala hai. To ho sakta hai ki itni badi baat na ho jitni badi baat ki ham yaha baat kar rahe hain." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Agar itni badi baat na hoti to un dono ko is tarah behosh kar ke mumbai nahi laya jata. Mujhe to wo ladka rohan kuch thik nahi lag raha bhaiya. Neelam ne jo kuch bhi bataya hai usse saaf pata chalta hai ki baat gambhir hai aur mujhe pura yakeen hai ki naina bhi wahi hogi. Neelam ko naina ke bare me shayad is liye nahi pata hai kyo ki use uski najar me laya hi nahi gaya hoga." Ravendra uncle ne kaha.
"Shayad tum thik kah rahe ho ravendra. Hame bhi aisa hi lagta hai." Dad ne kaha aur fir wo uth kar apne kamre ki taraf chale gaye.
"Tumne dubara neelam se baat nahi ki kya." Ravendra uncle ne ratan bhaiya se pucha.
"Nahi abhi to nahi ki. Waise maine use bol diya hai ki wo apna mobile on hi rakhe. Agar koi baat hogi to wo mujhe message karegi ya fir phone karegi." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Agar wo rohan fraud type ka ladka hai to ho sakta hai ki wo neelam se uska mobile chheen le. Aise me fir neelam se sampark kaise hoga." Ravendra ne kaha.
"Agar wo neelam se mobile chheen bhi lega tab bhi wo pakda hi jayega uncle. Kyo ki ham to jante hi hain ki wo kaun hai aur dad ko bhi bata hi diya hai ki wo unke hi dost ka ladka hai. Itna kafi hai us tak pahuchne ke liye aur jab us tak pahuch jayege to usi se puchege ki neelam nakul aur naina kaha hai." Ratan bhaiya ne kaha.
"Haa ye sahi kaha tumne." Ravendra uncle ne kaha.
Tabhi sanjay uncle apne ghar se taiyar ho kar aa gaye. Kuch der baad dad aur sanjay uncle ravendra uncle ke sath car me baith kar railway station ki taraf chal pade. Jate time mom ne dad se kaha tha hamari bachchiyo ko surakshit ghar le kar aaiyega.
.....
Back to my side....
Maine jab un dono ke sath nakul ko nahi dekha to mere dil ki dhadkane tej ho gai aur mujhe nakul ki bahut jyada chinta hone lagi. Nakul to mere sath hi tha jab ham dono ko behosh kiya gaya tha. Uske baad agar main yaha thi to nakul bhi yahi hona chahiye tha magar abhi tak maine nakul ko na dekha tha aur na hi uske bare me in dono ne mujhe bataya tha. Iska matlab kuch to baat jarur hai. Aakhir ye deepak nakul ko kaha le gaya hoga.
Deepak ki wo baate fir se mere dimaag me ubharne lagi jab usne mere behosh hote wakt us police wale se kahi thi. Aaj subah ye mere samne aisi baate kar raha tha jaise isne hame un police walo se bacha kar bahut bada ahsaan kiya tha. Agar yahi sach hai to fir nakul kaha hai is wakt. Maine ab tak uska chehra kyo nahi dekha. Kahi isi ne to nahi nakul ko gayab kiya hai. Kahi aisa to nahi ki isne nakul ke sath kuch galat kar diya ho. Hey bhagwan nahi nahi aisa nahi ho sakta. Mere nakul ko kuch nahi ho sakta. Ye sab sochte sochte ekdam se meri aakho se aashu bahne lage.
Tabhi meri najar un dono par padi. Wo dono kisi baat se haste huye aapas me koi baat kar rahe the. Mere man me ye janne ki curiosity hui ki aakhir wo itna haste huye kya baate kar rahe hain magar main unki baate kaise sunu. Main un dono ke kareeb nahi ja sakti thi kyo ki jaise hi main kamre se baahar nikalti to unki najar mujh par pad jati. Mujhe kuch samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki ab main kya karu. Abhi main ye soch hi rahi thi ki tabhi maine dekha ki dono kisi baat par haste huye jor se apne apne hath ko mila kar taali thoki aur fir palat kar mere kamre ki taraf dekhne lage. Main jaldi se ek taraf khasak gai jisse un dono ki najar mujh par na pade. Tabhi mere man me pata nahi kya aaya ki main jaldi se uthi aur bhaag kar attach bathroom me ghus gai. Bathroom ka darwaja band kar ke maine andar shower chalu kar diya. Bathroom me paani girne ki awaaj hone lagi. Main ekdam darwaje ke paas hi chup chaap khadi thi. Mujhse do fit ki doori par shower ka paani farsh par gir raha tha.
Is wakt pata nahi kyo par main andar se bahut jyada dari hui aur ghabraai hui thi. Tabhi mere kaano me un dono ki awaaj padi. Dono kamre me aa chuke the. Rohan ki awaaj maine saaf suni thi jisne mujhe neelam ji kah kar pukara tha. Uske pukarne par main chup hi rahi. Kuch der tak koi awaaj na aai. Shayad kamre me mujhe na dekh kar wo mujhe khojne ka prayas kar rahe the. Tabhi fir se mujhe awaaj sunaai di magar is baar deepak ki awaaj aai thi jo rohan se kah raha tha ki bathroom se pani girne ki awaaj aa rahi hai. Matlab wo waha hai aur shayad naha rahi hai.
"Ye to achhi baat hai na bhai. Naha dho ke chama cham ho jayegi tabhi to aur bhi khubsurat dikhegi aur fir hame uske jism ke har hisse ko chaatne me maja aayega." Rohan ki awaaj thi ye. Unhe lag raha tha ki andar main naha rahi hu is liye mujhe unki baate sunaai nahi de rahi hogi. Jabki main to unki baate achhe se sun pa rahi thi aur unki baate sun kar mere hosh bhi ud chuke the. Main andar darwaje ke paas khadi tharthar kaapne lagi thi unki aisi baate sun kar.
"Kya aisa nahi ho sakta boss ki ham dono ek sath hi uske jism ka bhog lagaye. Kasam se boss maja aa jayega aise me." Deepak ki is awaaj ne meri rooh tak ko jaise hila diya tha.
"Nahi aisa nahi kar sakte. Uski shakal se pata chalta hai ki wo abhi kuwari hai. Aisi najuk chij ko do log maslege to uski maa chud jayegi. Is liye use pahle main akele hi bhoguga magar pyar se. Uske baad tum bhogna." Rohan ki is baat se to main jaise patthar hi me badal gai thi. Mujhe aisa laga jaise mujhe abhi chakkar aa jayega.
Un dono ki baato se mujhe pata chal chuka tha ki main ab kitne bade khatre me thi aur mujhe is baat ka bhi andaja ho gaya tha ki nakul mujhe yaha par kyo nahi dikha tha. In dono ne jarur uske sath kuch galat kiya tha. Ye soch kar meri aakh se fir aashu bahne lage. Mujhe pahli baar ahsaas hua ki ghar se bhaag kar aur yaha aa kar hamne kitni badi galti ki thi. Mujhe pahli baar samajh aaya ki ye duniya kitni buri hai. Yaha par ek akeli ladki ek pal ke liye bhi safe nahi hai.
"Thik hai boss jaisi tumhari ichha. Waise abhi to wo naha rahi hai. Main ye soch raha hu ki aaj ki raat ko yaadgaar banaya jaye." Deepak ki awaaj mere kaano me padi.
"Yaadgaar to banegi hi yaar. Aisa shandar maal hath laga hai to din aur raat dono hi yaadgaar to banege." Rohan ne kaha.
"To fir ek kaam karte hain boss. Kuch daaru shaaru ka bhi intjaam kar lete hain. Shabab ke sath sharaab aur kabaab hoga to aur bhi maja aayega." Deepak ne kaha.
"Waah kya baat kahi tumne. Aise shabab ke sath sharab aur kabab na ho to sach me feeka feeka sa lagega." Rohan ne kaha.
"To fir chalo boss. Usko nahane do. Tab tak ham dono in dono cheejo ka bhi intjaam kar lete hain. Uske baad din bhi apna aur raat bhi apni hogi." Deepak ne kaha.
"Kya use yaha par akele chhodna thik rahega." Rohan ne kaha.
"Wo bhala kaha jayegi boss. Us time bhi to use akela hi chhod kar uske yaar ko le kar gaye the. Ham baahar gate par pahle ki tarah lock laga dege aur waise bhi use to abhi is baat ka pata bhi nahi hai ki uske sath kya hone wala hai." Deepak ne kaha.
"Ye bhi sahi kaha tumne. Chalo fir ab der karna bekaar hai." Rohan ne kaha.
Bathroom ke andar main dono ki baate sun rahi thi aur andar hi andar mare dar ke main tharthar kaape ja rahi thi. Uske baad wo dono kamre se chale gaye. Kafi der tak jab koi awaaj na aai to maine bathroom se nikalne ka socha magar meri himmat na hui ki main bathroom se baahar nikal kar kamre me jaau. Lekin ye bhi sach tha ki aakhir bathroom me main kab tak is tarah khadi rah sakti thi. Abhi to un dono ko yahi laga tha ki main naha rahi hu magar jab wo wapas yaha aayege aur tab bhi mere bathroom me hone ka andaja lagayege to samajh jayege ki kuch gadbad hai.
Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha ki main kya karu. Maine deepak ki baat suni thi. Usne baahar se gate lock kar ke jane ko bola tha. Matlab ki main is flat me ab ek kaidi ki tarah thi. Jitni chinta mujhe apni ho rahi thi utni hi chinta ye soch soch kar bhi ho rahi thi ki in logo ne nakul ke sath jane kya kiya hoga. Mera man kar raha tha ki main jor jor se cheekhu chillaau aur rone lagu magar isse kuch nahi hone wala tha.
Badi himmat kar ke maine pahle shower band kiya aur fir bathroom ka darwaja khola. Kamre me koi nahi tha. Mujhe to pata hi tha ki wo dono kis cheej ke intjaam ke liye baahar gaye hain. Har taraf khamoshi chhaai thi jo is wakt mujhe khaye ja rahi thi. Gujarta hua ek ek pal ab mere liye aisa tha jaise wo tinka tinka kar ke meri jaan le raha hai. Duniya bhar ke devi devta is wakt mujhe yaad aa rahe the aur main unse apne aur nakul ki safety ke liye minnate kar rahi thi ki achanak se mujhe ratan bhaiya ke mobile ki yaad aai.
Mobile ki yaad aate hi meri dhadkane tej tej chalne lagi aur man me ek ummid si jaag uthi. Ratan bhaiya ki baat yaad aa gai jo unhone kaha tha ki main apna mobile on hi rakhu aur agar main kisi musibat me hou to main unhe inform karu. Ye soch kar main teji se apne bag ke paas pahuchi. Bag ko khol kar maine jaldi se mobile nikala. Is wakt hadbadahat me mera pura jism kaap raha tha aur mere hath bhi. Maine kaapte hath se bhaiya ko call kar diya. Mere kaan me ring jane ki awaaj padi aur fir teesri hi ring par bhaiya ne call utha liya.
"Haa neel sab thik to hai na." Bhaiya ne ye pucha to main kuch kah na paai balki fafak fafak kar rone lagi. Mera dil kar raha tha ki is wakt mujhe ratan bhaiya mil jaye to main unse lipat kar tej tej rona shuru kar du. Udhar bhaiya mere is tarah rone par ekdam se chintit ho uthe aur baar baar mujhse puchne lage ki kya hua main kyo ro rahi hu. Aakhir kya baat ho gai hai. Pata nahi bhaiya aur kya kya puche ja rahe the aur main bas roye ja rahi thi. Mere is tarah rone se bhaiya bahut jyada chintit ho gaye aur pareshan bhi. Jab maine unke puchne par kuch nahi kaha to unhone apni kasam de kar kaha ki tujhe meri kasam hai neel. Tu bata ki aakhir tu itna ro kyo rahi hai. Kya us haramjade ne tere sath kisi tarah ki battamiji ki hai.
Ratan bhaiya ki kasam par maine apne aapko kisi tarah samhala aur fir rote rote hi unhe saari baate bata di aur last me ye bhi kaha ki mujhe is bhayankar sankat se bacha lijiye bhaiya. Aapki bahan neel ki ijjat ab khatre me hai. Meri saari baate sun kar bhaiya bhi jaise sannate me aa gaye the. Fir unhone mujhe samjhate huye kaha ki tu chinta mat kar neel. Dad aur sanjay uncle kal dopahar tak mumbai pahuch jayege aur fir wo us rohan ke baap ke paas ja kar uske bete ki kartoot usse batayege. Bhaiya ki in baato se mujhe thodi raahat to mili magar khatra to abhi hi tha mere liye aur abhi main kaise un dono se bach sakti thi is baat ke liye jab maine bhaiya se kaha to unhone kaha ki mere paas mobile hai to main fauran hi police ko call kar ke sab kuch bata du aur unse help maagu.
Ratan bhaiya ki is baat par mujhe bhi laga ki ye sabse best option hai. Bhaiya to yaha se kafi door hain aur dad log bhi kal hi yaha pahuchege to is wakt agar koi mujhe in darindo se bacha sakta tha to wo police hi bacha sakti thi. Maine bhaiya se kaha ki thik hai main police ko phone kar ke sab bata dugi. Uske baad bhaiya ne kaha ki wo dad ko bhi ye sab bata dege taaki unhe bhi iska pata rahe. Last me bhaiya ne mujhe samjhate huye kaha ki main bilkul bhi chinta na karu. Sab kuch thik ho jayega aur haa wo khud bhi waha se police walo se baat karege aur puri koshish karege ki mujhe kuch na hone paye.
Bhaiya se baat karne ke baad mujhe kafi raahat mil gai thi. Deepak aur rohan is wakt yaha nahi the is liye mere paas ye achha mauka tha jisse main police ko phone kar ke sab kuch bata bhi saku aur unse apne liye help ki maag bhi kar saku. Un dono ke irade bilkul bhi thik nahi the. Ho sakta hai ki baad me mujhe ye sab karne ka mauka na mile. Is liye maine jaldi se police ka number dial kar ke call laga diya.
SP rama shankar mumbai me police headquarter pahuch chuka tha. Uski ek special team pahle hi yaha pahuch gai thi aur brijesh naam ke us aadmi ko talaash kar rahi thi jiske bare me mathur ne bataya tha. Team ko jaldi hi pata chal gaya tha ki us aadmi ka naam farji tha aur uska diya hua address bhi farji tha lekin iske baad bhi team ko us aadmi ki real pahchan mil gai thi. Team ke ek officer ne SP ko bataya ki police record me jab us aadmi ki photo daali gai to police ke data base me us aadmi ki detail mil gai. Wo aadmi ek mujrim tha jiska pahle se hi police me record tha. Data base ke anusaar us aadmi ka naam satish tha aur chhota mota jurm karta tha. Police ne use saal bhar pahle chori ke jurm me pakda tha. Saja bhugatne ke baad se ab tak uska kahi pata nahi chala tha aur na hi kisi jurm me pakda gaya tha.
Satish andheri me rahta tha. Andheri me uska ye pata saal bhar pahle ka tha. Uske sath uska ek aur sathi pakda gaya tha jiska naam prakash tha. Team ke officer ne bataya ki data base me mile uske address par jab uski talash me gaye to pata chala ki wo kafi time se waha nahi dekha gaya tha. Shayad usne apna koi dusra thikana bana liya tha.
Team ke officer ki baat sunne ke baad SP ne apne adhikariyo se baat karne ke baad usse kaha ki yaha ke sabhi police thano me satish aur prakash ki photo bhejwa do aur ye bhi kaho ki in dono ki khoj me lag jaao.
Idhar ashok uncle aur naina bhi mumbai pahuch chuke the aur thaharne ke liye hotel me do rooms book kar liye the. Hotel me naina ko chhodne ke baad ashok uncle SP se milne chale gaye the. Ashok uncle ne mumbai pahuchne par naina ke liye ek mobile bhi liya tha jisse wo agar hotel se baahar rahe to usse baat kar sake.
.......
Mujhse baat karne ke baad ratan bhaiya ne dad ko call laga diya tha aur fir unhone dad ko bhi sari baate bata di thi. Ratan bhaiya ki baate sun kar dad bahut jyada chinta me pad gaye the aur isi liye unhone rohan ke dad ko phone bhi lagaya tha magar rohan ke dad ka phone not reachable bata raha tha. Dad baar baar rohan ke dad ko phone laga rahe the lekin phone lag hi nahi raha tha. Is vajah se dad aur bhi jyada chintit ho uthe the. Unhe yakeen nahi ho raha tha ki unke dost ka ladka itna gira hua aur itna khatarnaak hoga. Sanjay uncle bhi is baat se chinta me the.
Ravendra uncle dad aur sanjay uncle ko car se railway station bhejne gaye the. Train right time par thi to dad aur sanjay uncle train me baith kar mumbai ki taraf chal pade the. Unhe lag raha tha ki ab wo kitna jaldi mumbai pahuch jaye. Wo har do minute me apne dost ko phone karte ja rahe the magar rohan ke dad ka phone abhi bhi network se baahar tha.
Idhar ratan bhaiya bhi mere liye chintit the. Unka bas chalta to wo bahut kuch kar gujarte magar problem ye thi ki main unse bahut door thi. Mere dad ko door door tak ke log pahchante the. Yaha tak ki jila ke collector aur pradesh ke mantri bhi pahchante the. Unki hi vajah se wo ratan bhaiya ko bhi pahchante the. Dad ne pradesh ke mantri se baat ki thi aur ratan bhaiya se bhi kaha tha ki wo shahar ja kar mantri ji se mile. Udhar ravendra uncle ko bhi dad ne sab kuch samjha diya tha. Mere liye jitna ho sakta tha wo kar rahe the.

Back to my side....
Maine police ko call laga diya tha aur mere kaan me ring jane ki awaaj aa rahi thi. Is wakt main bahut hi jyada dari hui aur ghabraai hui thi. Meri saase teji se chal rahi thi. Kuch hi der me call utha liya gaya to main mare hadbadi ke ek hi saas me phone par bolti chali gai. Udhar se kisi ne pucha ki aap kaun bol rahi hain aur kaha se bol rahi hain to maine apna naam bata diya magar main kaha se bol rahi hu is bare me mujhe khud hi pata nahi tha. Main to sach me khud hi nahi janti thi ki ye mumbai ki kaun si jagah hai. Bas itna janti thi ki main rohan ke flat par hu is wakt. Is liye maine unse kah diya ki mujhe is jagah ke bare me kuch bhi pata nahi hai magar main is wakt bahut badi musibat me hu aur meri ijjat ko do hawsi darindo se khatra hai. Maine unhe ye bhi bataya ki main jis nakul naam ke ladke se pyar karti hu use bhi in logo ne kidnap kar rakha hai.
Phone par bolte bolte main kab rone lagi thi mujhe khud hi pata nahi chala tha. Last me maine itna suna ki udhar se kisi ne kaha ki aap bilkul bhi chinta na kare. Ham aapke is phone number ko trace kar ke aapki location ka pata laga lege aur bahut jald aap tak pahuch jayege. Main unki ye baat sun kar bas yahi bol paai ki jaldi kijiyega. Kahi aisa na ho ki aapke pahuchne se pahle main barbad ho jaau.
Call cut hone ke baad main lambi lambi saase lene lagi thi. Man ko thodi raahat mili thi magar mera dar abhi bhi waisa hi tha. Main sochne lagi ki jab tak police nahi aati tab tak main un dono se apne aapko kaise bacha ke rakh sakti hu. Wo dono baahar gaye huye the aur is wakt main is pure flat me akeli hi thi. Tabhi mere man khayaal aaya ki main flat ke main door ko andar se kundi laga kar band kar deti hu. Jab andar se gate hi band rahega to wo dono kaise mujhe koi nuksan pahucha payege.
Main bhaagte huye main door ke paas pahuchi aur jhat se kundi laga di. Kundi lagane ke baad mujhe achha feel hua. Dopahar se jyada ka time ho chala tha aur maine kal raat se kuch nahi khaya tha. Mujhe bhukh to nahi lagi thi magar thakaan aur kamjori jarur feel ho rahi thi. Mujhe nakul ki yaad aai to mujhe fir se uski chinta hone lagi. Mera dil ye soch ke ghabrane laga ki un dono ne pata nahi uske sath kya kiya hoga. Itna to ab main samajh chuki thi ki dono ki neeyat mujh par pahle se hi kharab thi magar nakul ke rahte wo apne iraado me kamyab nahi ho sakte the. Is liye unhone sabse pahle nakul ko mujhse door kiya magar main sochne lagi ki nakul ko un dono ne kaise mujhse door kiya hoga. Nakul khud to mujhse door jayega nahi aur na hi unke kahne par jayega to fir use mujhse door karne ke liye jarur koi galat athkanda apnaya hoga. Kahi aisa to nahi ki in logo ne nakul ko mara ho ya uske sath kuch aisa kar diya ho jo nahi karna chahiye. Hey bhagwan ye main kya soch rahi hu. Nahi nahi mere nakul ko kuch nahi hua hoga. Hey bhagwan mere nakul ki raksha karna. Please uske sath kuch galat na hone dena.
Main pata nahi kya kya soche ja rahi thi aur isi vajah se mera man bahut ghabra raha tha. Main to shayad ab kisi taraf safe ho chuki thi lekin nakul kaha aur kis haal me tha is bare me mujhe kuch pata nahi chal raha tha.
......
Nakul is wakt ek kamre me behosh pada hua tha. Uske dono hath pichhe side rassi se badhe huye the aur dono pair bhi rassi se badhe huye the. Uske muh me ganda sa kapda jaise thoos diya gaya tha. Kamre ki haalat jyada thik nahi thi. Kamre ki chhat pakki to thi magar uska plaster jagah jagah se ukhda hua tha. Yahi haal kamre ke farsh ka bhi tha. Kamre ke ek taraf ek lohe ki folding charpaai thi jisme kuch kapde pade huye the. Eh taraf lakdi ka stool tha jisme ek mitti ka matka rakha tha. Kamre se laga hua ek aur kamra tha jisme is wakt do log baithe taas khel rahe the.
"Ek baat bata bhai is pantar ka apna boss karega kya." Ek aadmi ne dusre aadmi se pucha.
"Kya karega matlab." Dusre ne pucha.
"Are mera matlab ki ye pantar kya aise hi lamba pada rahega ya iske sath kuch aur bhi karega apna boss. Iske sath jo item thi uske sath to apna boss ab masti karega." Pahle wale aadmi ne kaha.
"Masti kya be wo to us item ke sath khoob maje lega. Is saale ki to footi kismat thi jo apne boss ke hatthe chadh gaya. Agar isko boss ka raaj pata chal gaya hoga to samajh le ki iski upar ki ticket kat gai ab." Dusre wale ne kaha.
"Prakash bata raha tha ki boss ne isko apne dhandhe me aane ko bola tha par isne boss ke offer ko thukra diya hai." Pahle aadmi ne kaha.
"Ye kya bol raha hai tu." Dusre wale ne pucha.
"Main sach bol raha hai bhai. Tabhi to puch raha hu ki boss ab iska kya karega. Prakash ki baat mane to isko apne boss ka raaj malum ho chuka hai. Us hisab se iski ticket to ab tak kat jani chahiye thi par ye to yaha par behoshi ki haalat me lamba leta hua hai." Pahle aadmi ne kaha.
"Ticket kaatne me kaun sa time lagna hai bhai. Bheje me ek goli utri nahi ki ticket kat gai. Abhi ye is liye aise leta hoga kyo ki abhi iski kismat me kuch der aur jina likha hoga." Dusre aadmi ne has ke kaha.
Dusre aadmi ki baat sun kar pahla wala aadmi bhi hasne hi laga tha ki tabhi andar wale kamre se awaaj aai to usne dusre aadmi ki taraf dekha.
"Lagta hai us pantar ko hosh aa gaya hai. Chal dekhe to sahi." Pahle aadmi ne kaha aur taas ke patto ko farsh par rakh diya. Uski baat sun kar dusre aadmi ne bhi apne hath ke patte farsh par rakh diye aur fir dono uth kar andar wale kamre ki taraf aa gaye.
Nakul ko hosh aa chuka tha aur is wakt wo apni aisi haalat dekh kar ghabraya hua dikh raha tha. Mukh se kuch bolna chahta tha magar mukh me kapda thusa hone ki vajah se bas gu gu hi kar raha tha. Kamre me do anjaan aadmi ko dekh kar nakul aur bhi ghabra gaya aur apne aapko chhudane ki koshish karne laga magar hilne dulne ya chhatpatane ke siva wo kuch kar hi nahi sakta tha.
"Kyo fadfada raha hai bhai. Chup chaap aise hi lamba ho ke leta rah." Ek aadmi ne nakul se kaha.
"Boss ki baat maan leta to aisi haalat na hoti teri. Bada hi chutiya type ka hai tu. Boss ki baat na maan kar tune galti ki aur teri is galti ki vajah se teri us masuka ke sath apna boss maje karega." Dusre aadmi ne ye kaha to nakul gu gu karte huye aur bhi chhatpatane laga. Jabki use is tarah chhatpatate dekh dono hasne lage aur fir wapas bahar wale kamre me aa kar taas khelne lage. Un dono ke jane ke baad nakul chhatpatata hi rah gaya. Apni bebasi par uski aakh se aashu nikalne lage the.
......
Udhar jis police se maine baat ki thi wo jaldi hi apne kaam me lag gaye the. Wireless ke jariye kai jagah par iski suchna pahuch gai thi. Dad aur sanjay uncle jab mumbai aaye the to unhone rohan ke dad ke kahne par mujhe aur nakul ki khoj karne ke liye police ko kaha tha. Police ke paas meri photo bhi thi aur naam bhi tha. Udhar SP rama shankar bhi wahi maujud tha aur uski team is kaam me lagi hui thi. Jaise hi is baat ki khabar control room me pahuchi thi to mere naam aur photo ki vajah se kuch hi der me unhe yaad aa gaya ki kuch din pahle wo mujhe hi khoj kar rahe the. SP rama shankar ko jaise mera aur nakul ka naam bataya gaya to fauran hi samajh gaya ki ye maamla kisi aur ka nahi balki usi ka hai jiske liye wo is wakt mumbai me tha.
SP rama shankar ne jaldi hi mera number trace karne ka hukum diya aur fir kuch hi der me unhe meri location pata chal gai. SP rama shankar ne phone kar ke is bare me ashok uncle ko bhi bata diya aur unhe fauran hi apne paas aane ko kaha. Ashok uncle ko jab SP se mere bare me pata chala to wo bhaagte huye hotel pahuche the aur hotel se naina ko le kar SP ke paas chal pade the.
......
Ratan bhaiya shahar ja kar mantri se mile aur unhe short me saari baate bataai. Mantri dad aur ratan bhaiya ko achhi tarah janta tha. Ratan bhaiya ki baate sun kar mantri ne bhaiya se kaha ki is bare me ab wo bilkul bhi chinta na kare.
Mantri ne ratan bhaiya ke samne hi kisi ko phone lagaya aur kuch der baat ki. Uske baad mantri ne bhaiya se pucha ki ye sab kaise hua to bhaiya ne short me mere bare me use bata diya. Kuch der aur rukne ke baad ratan bhaiya waha se ghar ki taraf chal pade.
Ghar me meri mom aur baaki sab bhi mere liye chintit the aur bhagwan se vinti kar rahe the ki mujhe kuch na ho. Naina ki mom bhi hamare ghar par hi aa gai thi. Unka haal bhi meri mom jaisa hi tha. Ravendra uncle ghar me hi the aur sabko samjha bujha rahe the ki sab thik ho jayega. Uske baad wo baaki jaruri kaam se baahar chale gaye the.
Ratan bhaiya jab ghar pahuche to mom unse puchne lagi kya kaha mantri ji ne. Mom ke puchne par bhaiya ne unhe bata diya. Mom ko jabse meri situation ke bare me pata chala tha tab se wo mere liye bahut chintit thi. Bhaiya ke aate hi unhone bhaiya se kaha ki wo isi wakt mujhe phone lagaye aur unse meri baat karwaye. Mom ke kahne par bhaiya ne mujhe phone laga diya tha.
Mere paas jab bhaiya ka call aaya to maine jaldi se call utha liya aur bhaiya ko bata diya ki maine police ko call kar ke sab kuch bata diya hai. Meri baat sun kar bhaiya ne kaha ki bahut achha kiya hai. Uske baad bhaiya ne mujhse kaha ki mom baat karna chaahti hain to maine mom se baat ki. Meri to rulaai hi foot gai thi. Mujhe rota dekh mom bhi rone lagi thi. Maine mom se rote huye kaha ki nakul ko wo dono subah le gaye the aur jab waapas aaye to nakul unke sath nahi tha. Lagta hai unhone nakul ke sath kuch bura kiya hai. Agar nakul ko kuch hua to main kaise uske bina ji paaugi.
Meri baate sun kar mom ne mujhe samjhate huye kaha ki kisi ko kuch nahi hoga. Bas bhagwan par bharosa rakh. Uske baad mom ne mujhe meri situation ke bare me pucha to maine unhe sab bata diya ki maine flat ko andar se kundi laga kar band kar diya hai. Is liye ab wo dono andar nahi aa sakte. Is tarah me main safe hi hu aur flat ka darwaja tabhi kholugi jab police aayegi.
Mom ne mujhe samjhaya aur ye bhi kaha ki dad kal mere paas pahuch jayege aur fir wo mujhe aur nakul ko apne sath hi ghar layege. Mom se baat karne ke baad mujhe bahut achha feel ho raha tha. Ab lag raha tha ki main yaha lawarish ki tarah nahi hu balki mere apne har taraf se meri safety ke liye bahut kuch kar rahe the.
Maine to apni safety ka intjam kar liya tha lekin ab main nakul ke bare me soch kar chintit ho rahi thi. Bhagwan se uski salamati ki dua kar rahi thi. Dad aur sanjay uncle ghar se chal chuke the aur wo dono kal yaha pahuch jayege. Main sochne lagi ki jab dad se mera saamna hoga to main kaise unse najre mila paaugi. Kya wo mujhe daatege ya mujhe is haal me dekh kar apne gale se laga lege.
Pata nahi kya kya sochne lagi thi main. Mujhe pata hi nahi chala ki socho me gum main kab tak aise hi bed par baithi rah gai thi. Pata nahi kis baat se mera dhyaan tuta tha. Flat me chhaai khamoshi ne ek baar fir se meri dhadkano ko badha diya tha. Ek baar fir se mujhe yaad aa gaya ki main is wakt kaha aur kis haal me hu. Kamre ki diwaar par lagi wall clock par meri najar padi to dekha usme chaar baj rahe the. Rohan aur deepak abhi tak wapas nahi aaye the. Agar aaye hote to mujhe pata jarur chalta. Kyo ki gate to andar se band tha aur jab wo aate to door bell bajate ya darwaja peette.
Aaj ka din kaise itna gujar gaya tha pata hi nahi chala tha. Mujhe yaad aaya ki maine subah nahaya bhi nahi tha. Kuch khane ki to bahut door ki baat thi. Bhukh to abhi bhi nahi thi mujhe lekin kamjori aur thakaan jarur feel ho rahi thi. Ek ek pal bhaari lag raha tha mujhe aur har gujarte pal ke sath ek anjana sa dar bhi badhta ja raha tha. Main sochne lagi ki kya hoga jab rohan aur deepak wapas aayege aur jab unhe main door andar se band milega. Wo door bell bajayege aur darwaja peetege magar main darwaja nahi kholugi. Aisi situation me wo dono kya karege. Flat ke andar aane ka dusra koi raasta nahi tha. Jab main darwaja nahi kholugi to kya wo samajh jayege ki mujhe unke iraado ka pata chal gaya hai. Tab wo kya karege. Wo jarur kisi na kisi tarah se andar aane ki koshish karege. Aakhir unhone mujhe pane ke liye hi to ye sab khel racha tha.
Kamre me ye sab sochte huye ab mujhe bechaini si hone lagi thi. Itne bade flat me main akeli thi. Bhale hi is wakt mujhe koi khatra nahi tha magar fir bhi mere andar dar aur ghabrahat waisi ki waisi hi thi. Apni bechaini ko door karne ke liye main bed se niche utri aur kamre se baahar aa gai. Mujhe joro ki pyaas lagi thi to main kitchen ki taraf badh gai. Kitchen me ja kar maine pani piya aur dekha ki khane ka koi samaan hai ki nahi. Main aur nakul yaha pahle rah chuke the is liye rashan ka kuch samaan abhi bhi tha magar mujhe bhukh nahi thi. Waise bhi is situation me bhukh kise lag sakti thi.
Kitchen se wapas main kamre me aa gai. Kamre me ek taraf lage aadamkad aaine me maine khud ko dekha. Paaglo jaisi surat dikh rahi thi meri. Maine police ko phone kiya tha magar abhi tak wo log yaha nahi aaye the. Ek ek pal jaise shadiyo sa lag raha tha mujhe. Bechaini thi ki kam hone ka naam hi nahi le rahi thi. Shishe se najar hata kar main palti aur apne bag ke paas aai. Bag se apne kapde nikaal kar main bathroom me chali gai. Apne man ko har baat se shaant karne ka yahi ek raasta tha ki main thande paani se naha lu. Shayad isse kuch achha feel hone lage.
Bathroom me nahane ke baad maine apne kapde change kiye. Gile kapdo ko maine dhula aur bathroom me hi darwaje par lage ek hanger par taag diya. Uske baad main bathroom se bahar kamre me aa gai. Nahane ke baad sach me achha feel hone laga tha magar jaise hi mujhe apni situation ka khayaal aaya to fir se pahle jaisa haal hone laga. Abhi main shishe ke saamne khadi ho ke apne geele baalo ko towel se sukha hi rahi thi ki door bell baji. Door bell ki awaaj sunte hi meri dhadkane ekdam se tej ho gai. Main samajh gai ki rohan aur deepak wapas aa gaye hain. Waise to main door andar se band kar diya tha maine is liye wo dono andar nahi aa sakte the lekin iske bavjud mujhe ghabrahat hone lagi thi.
