Adultery Sharmili Mummy Ko Mila Naya Pati

[AARCHANA]

Dopehar ka waqt tha. Purani colony ki un tang galiyon mein dhoop bikhri hui thi. Shobhit ki "Shobhit General Store" par grahako ki bheed toh nahi thi, par woh hamesha ki tarah apne hisaab-kitab ke registers mein khoya hua tha. 49 saal ki umar mein uski pehchan bas ye dukan aur uska parivaar hi tha.

Wahi do gali chhod kar, unka chota sa ghar tha jahan Shalini rozana ki tarah ghar ke kaamo mein vyast thi. 42 ki umar mein bhi Shalini ki khubsurti aisi thi ki nazar na hate. Sasti si sooti (cotton) saree, maathe par ek choti si bindi, aur aankhon mein hamesha rehne wali ek ajeeb si sharam. Woh kitchen mein khadi Soham ke liye nasta bana rahi thi, par uski raftaar dheemi thi—woh apni hi duniya mein magan rehne wali mahila thi.

"Mummy! Mera white shirt kahan hai? Aaj mujhe college jaana hai admission ki baaki formalities ke liye," Soham ne apne kamre se chillate hue pucha.
Soham 18 saal ka ho chuka tha, B.Tech mein admission milne ki khushi uske chehre par saaf dikhti thi. 

Shalini ne kitchen se nikalte hue dheere se kaha, "Wahi rakha hai beta, press kar ke cupboard mein tang diya tha." Usne apni saree ka pallu sarr par thoda aur kheench liya, halaki ghar mein sirf uska beta hi tha.

Dukan par Shobhit ke paas uska purana dost, Khanna, betha chai pee raha tha. "Aur Shobhit, sab badhiya? Suna hai sarkar ab naye sire se sabka registration kar rahi hai? Wo digital ID wala chakkar," Khanna ne pucha.
 
Shobhit ne chashma naak par tikate hue kaha, "Haan, suna toh hai. Par apne paas toh saare kaghaz pakke hain Khanna bhai. Dada-laayi dukan hai, baap-daadon ka ghar hai. Humein kya dar?"
 
Dopehar ka waqt tha, ghar ke baaki kaam khatam ho chuke the. Soham college ke silsile mein bahar gaya tha aur Shobhit dukan par. Shalini ne thak kar purane wooden sofa par baithte hue subah ka bacha hua akhbar uthaya.

Jaise hi usne panna palta, teesre panne par ek bade se rangin ishtihar (ad) ne uski nazrein thama li.
"ROSE-PETALS: Naya Posh Boutique & Lifestyle Store"
Ad mein ek bahut hi sundar model ne ek resham ki lambi nightdress pehni hui thi. Wo tasveer itni chamakdar aur 'modern' thi ki Shalini ne pehle toh sharam ke maare jaldi se panna palatne ki koshish ki, lekin phir kuch soch kar ruk gayi.
Usne apne aap ko dekha—wahi purani sooti saree, wahi hamesha wala dhang. Phir usne us model ko dekha. Ad ke niche bade aksharon mein likha tha:

"Apne rishte mein wapas wahi purani chamak layein. Kya aapka pehnawa wahi hai jo 20 saal pehle tha? Badaliye apne aap ko, aur dekhiye unki nazron mein naya jaadu."

Ye chand shabd seedhe Shalini ke dil par lage. Use yaad aaya ki Shobhit ab aksar dukan ke registers aur hisaab-kitab mein hi khoye rehte hain. Raat ko jab wo aate hain, toh dono ke beech bas ghar aur bacho ki hi baatein hoti hain. Wo purana romance jaise dukan ki bheed mein kahin kho gaya tha.

Shalini ne ungliyon se us ad par bani designer nighty ko chhua. Usne socha, "Kya main sach mein itni purani lagne lagi hoon? Agar main kuch aisa pehnu, toh kya Shobhit ji mujhe phir se unhi nazron se dekhenge jaisa hamari nayi-nayi shaadi mein dekhte the?"

Uski dhadkan thodi tez ho gayi. Ek middle-class, sharmili aurat ke liye aisi dukan par jana hi bahut badi baat thi, par us ad ne uske andar ek 'nayi aurat' ko jagane ki koshish kar di thi. Usne akhbar ko mod kar thoda sa chhupa kar rakh diya, jaise koi chori pakdi gayi ho, lekin uske dimaag mein ab bas wahi resham ka libas ghoom raha tha.Wo ek aisi mahila thi jo hamesha dusron ki zarooraton ka pehle sochti thi. Par aaj, na jane kyun, uska mann kuch apne liye lene ka tha.

Ghar mein kaam khatam karne ke baad Shalini ne thodi der ke liye TV chalaya. Uska pasandida serial chal raha tha, par uska dhyan bar-bar whi akhbar mein chhappe uss vigyapan par ja raha tha. Wo nayi showroom wala ad jo unki colony se thoda door khula tha.

Shalini ne lambi saans li aur apni purani sooti saree ke pallu ko sahi kiya. 

Shaam ka waqt, Suraj dhalne ko tha.

Shalini ke liye us din ki shaam rozana jaisi nahi thi. Uske mann mein uthal-pukhal machi thi, aur wahi bechaini uske taiyar hone ke dhang mein bhi dikh rahi thi.

Suraj ki sunehri kirnein jab unke purane ghar ke aangan se dhal rahi thi, tab Shalini apne kamre mein khadi aaine ke saamne khud ko nihar rahi thi. Shalini 42 ki umar mein bhi kisi khubsurat tasveer jaisi lagti thi. Woh moti bilkul nahi thi, balki uska shareer ek bhari-puri bhartiya naari jaisa tha—jahan maas ki jarurat thi, wahan kudrat ne use khul kar nawaaza tha.

Usne apni purani saree utaari aur snan ke baad jab woh aaine ke saamne aayi, toh uski gori rangat halki thandak se gulabi ho rahi thi. Usne apni bhari-bhari aur unchi chuchiyon ko sambhalte hue ek gehre rang ka blouse pehna, jo uske jism par bilkul fit baith raha tha. Uske ubhaar uski har saans ke saath halka sa hilte, jo uski jawaani ki maujoodgi ka ehsas karate.

Uski kamar aur pet par halka sa maas tha, jo ek do bachon ki maa hone ki nishani thi, lekin wahi naram ehsas use aur bhi zyada aakarshak banata tha. Jab usne saree ka pallu apni kamar par lapeta, toh uske gol aur bade nitamb saree ke patle kapde ke niche se apni puri banawat dikha rahe the. Uska nichla hissa kafi bhari tha, jo uski chal mein ek ajeeb si lachak aur garima lata tha.

Usne apne lambe kaale baalon ko suljhaya aur ek dheela sa jooda banaya, jisse uski gori gardan saaf chamak rahi thi.
Usne aaine mein dekhte hue ek badi laal bindi lagayi aur maang mein sindoor bhara. Ye dono cheezein uske sharmile chehre par ek suhagan ka garv la deti thin.

Usne halka sa kaajal lagaya, jisse uski badi aur gehri aankhon mein ek ajeeb si kashish aa gayi.
Taiyar hone ke baad usne ek baar phir aaine mein apna aap ko dekha. Uska shareer us sasti saree mein bhi kisi khilti hui kali jaisa dikh raha tha. Usne ek gehri saans li, thali uthayi aur darrte-darrte kamre se bahar nikli. Uske man mein ab bhi wahi kashmakash thi—ki kya wo waqayi uss showroom mein ja payegi?

Shalini ki saadgi aur uski apne pati ke prati nishtha waqayi prashansniya thi. Jab woh ghar se nikli, toh uski har ek chaal mein ek sughad grihini ki maryada saaf dikh rahi thi.

Shalini jab gali se guzri, toh logon ki nazrein uski sundarta aur uske shaant swabhaav par ruk si jati thin. Jab woh Shobhit ki dukan ke paas pahunchi, toh usne dur se hi dekha ki dukan grahakon se khachakhach bhari hui thi. Shobhit registers mein hisaab likhne aur logon ko saamaan pakdane mein itna mashghool tha ki uski saansein fulti dikh rahi thin.

Shalini wahi rasta par khadi reh gayi. Usne dukan ke andar kadam nahi rakha. Woh itni sharmili aur 'pativrata' thi ki usne kabhi Shobhit ka naam tak nahi liya tha; woh hamesha unhe "ji" ya "Soham ke papa" keh kar hi pukarti thi.
Usne mann hi mann socha, "Abhi bahut bheed hai, unhe pareshaan karna theek nahi hoga. Mandir se hokar aati hoon, tab tak shayad kaam thoda kam ho jaye."

Mandir mein ghanti ki awaaz aur dhoop-batti ki khushboo ne Shalini ke bhatakte hue mann ko thoda sukoon diya. Usne aankhein moond kar bhagwan ke saamne sar jhukaya. Uski har dua mein bas parivaar hi hota tha.


Pooja khatam karke jab woh bahar aayi, toh usne apni thali mein rakha prasad liya aur dobara dukan ki taraf rukh kiya. Ab suraj dhire-dhire aur niche ja raha tha, aur asmaan mein halki laalima chha gayi thi.

Mandir se wapas aate waqt jab usne dekha ki Shobhit abhi bhi dukan ke kaamon mein uljhe hain, toh usne unhe tokna thik nahi samjha. Woh itni suljhi hui aur gambhir mahila thi ki pati ke kaam mein khalal dalna use gunah lagta tha.

Ghar pahunch kar usne thali rakhi aur seedhe kitchen mein dakhil ho gayi. Usne dekha ki Soham wapas aa chuka hai aur apne kamre mein shayad college ki files dekh raha hai.

Tabhi uski sasti si keypad phone ki ringtone baji. Screen par "Beti Sonali" chamak raha tha.
Shalini ne muskurate hue phone uthaya aur apne pallu se paseena ponchte hue kitchen ke ek kone mein thodi jagah banakar khadi ho gayi.

Sonali: "Hello Mummy! Kaise ho aap? Aur Papa kaise hain? Soham ne admission le liya?"

Shalini: "Haan bitiya, hum sab theek hain. Soham toh abhi aaya hai thaka-hara. Tere Papa dukan par hain, aaj bahut bheed hai wahan. Tu bata, teri padhai kaisi chal rahi hai? Khana time par khati hai na? Bahar ka kachra mat khaya kar."
Sonali: (Haste hue) "Arre Mummy, aap wahi purani baatein shuru kar deti ho! Main bilkul theek hoon. Papa ko mera pranaam kehna aur Soham ko bolna zyada hero na bane naye college mein."
Dono maa-beti ke beech ki ye guftagu Shalini ke saare din ki thakavat mita deti thi. Sonali chulbuli thi, bilkul Shalini ke ulat—bebaak aur naye zamane ki. Kuch der hansi-mazaak ke baad Shalini ne hichkichate hue pucha, "Bitiya... woh, shehar mein naye fashion ki nighty kaisi chalti hain?"
Sonali thoda hairan hui, "Mummy aap aur nighty? Wahan toh log aajkal satin aur silk ki designer nighties pehente hain, bahut sundar lagti hain. Kyun? Aapko leni hai kya?"
Shalini ke gaal ek dum se garam ho gaye, "Nahi-nahi, bas aise hi pooch liya. Chal tu padhai kar."
Call cutne ke baad Shalini ka dil zor-zor se dhadak raha tha. Usne phone side mein rakha aur fir se sabzi kaatne lagi. Par uska dimaag ab us 'Rose-Petals' showroom ki taraf jane laga tha. Usne faisla kar liya tha— ki aaj raat soham ke papa se baat karungi kal dopahar jab Shobhit dukan par honge aur Soham college, tab wha jaungi.

Raat ko jab Shobhit thake-hare ghar aaye, Shalini ne unhe garam-garam rotiyan parosi. Soham bhi table par tha. Ghar mein wahi purani khamoshi aur sukoon tha.

Raat ke sannate mein Shalini ka mann ummido aur thodi si mayoosi ke beech jhool raha tha. Shobhit thake-hare dukan se laute aur khana khakar sidha bistar par let gaye.


Shalini ne kitchen ka sara kaam niptaya aur apne kamre mein aayi. Usne dekha ki Shobhit ki aankhein band hone ko thi. Usne darrte-darrte bistar ke kone par baithte hue unke pairon ke paas hath rakha. Woh chahti thi ki aaj Shobhit thodi der usse baat karein, uski taraf dekhein.

"Sunte hain..." Shalini ne bahut dheemi aur komal awaaz mein kaha.

Shobhit ne bina aankhein khole haraarat mein jawab diya, "Hmm... bolo Shalini, bahut thak gaya hoon aaj."

Shalini ne unke kandhe par hath rakhte hue thoda nazdik hone ki koshish ki. Uske jism ki thandak aur uski khubsurat banawat Shobhit ke bilkul kareeb thi, par Shobhit ka dhyan dukan ki thakavat mein tha.

"Woh... kal mujhe bazaar jaana tha. Ghar ka kuch zaroori saaman lena hai, thode paise chahiye the," Shalini ne showroom ka naam chhupate hue kaha. Uska dil dharak raha tha ki kahin wo pooch na lein ki kya saaman.

Shobhit ne karwat badli aur nind mein hi bola, "Galle mein paise rakhe hain, jitne chahiye le lena... ab sone do, subah jaldi dukan kholni hai."

Itna keh kar Shobhit ne chadar odh li aur thodi hi der mein unke kharraton ki awaaz aane lagi. Shalini wahi baithi reh gayi. 

Shobhit ne paise ki koi kami nahi chhodi thi. Shalini ke ghar mein har wo sukh-suvidha thi jo ek ameer middle-class ghar mein honi chahiye—bada TV, har kamre mein AC, aur saari sahuliyat. Bas kami thi toh Shobhit ke us waqt ki, jo ab sirf dukan ke registers mein khota ja raha tha.

Usne apne bhari-pure jism ko aaine mein dekha aur phir sote hue pati ko. Uske mann mein ek kasak si jagi—kya main ab sirf ghar ki ek zaroorat ban kar reh gayi hoon?

Usne tey kar liya ki kal wo us showroom mein zaroor jayegi. Use laga ki shayad wo naye zamane ka libas uske aur Shobhit ke beech ki is khamoshi ko khatam kar dega. Wo raat bhar karwate badalti rahi, us resham ki nighty aur us anjaane showroom ke khayalon mein.

Subah hui, Shobhit dukan chale gaye aur Soham apne college ke liye nikal gaya. Ghar ab khali tha. Shalini ne fatafat ghar ka kaam khatam kiya. Usne aaj apni sabse achhi saree nikaali—ek halke gulabi rang ki saree jo uske gore badan par khil rahi thi.

Usne almari se paise nikale aur apna purana keypad phone lekar ghar ko tala lagaya. Uski chaal mein aaj ek ajeeb si tezi thi. Woh sidha us posh ilake ki taraf badhne lagi jahan 'Rose-Petals' showroom tha.

Shalini jab 'Rose-Petals' ke bade se kanch ke darwaze ke saamne pahunchi, toh ek pal ko ruki. Usne darwaza dhakela aur andar ki thandi hawa ne uska swagat kiya. AC ki wahi thandak jo uske apne ghar mein bhi thi, par yahan ki hawa mein ek ajeeb si mehengi perfume ki khushboo ghuli thi jo use thoda ghabra rahi thi.

Showroom ke floor par chamchamata marble tha jisme Shalini ko apna aks saaf dikh raha tha.

Shalini ne jaise hi showroom ke andar kadam rakha, uski nazrein kisi mahila karmchari ko dhoondhne lagin. Usne socha tha ki koi ladki hogi toh woh dhire se apni pasand bata degi, par saamne wahi young dukandar khada tha.

Dukandar, jiska naam Aryan tha, usne jab Shalini ko dekha toh dekhta hi reh gaya. Shalini ne gulabi saree pehni thi, jiske niche uski bhari-bhari kaaya aur gol nitambh saree ke har mod ke saath apni maujoodgi jata rahe the. Uske gore rang par gulabi saree ka nikaar qayaamat dha raha tha.

Shalini wahi darwaze ke paas thithak gayi. Usne apna purse kas kar pakad liya aur nazrein neeche jhuka lin.

Aryan (dukandar): "Ji madam, aaiye na! Kya dekhna chahengi aap?"
Shalini ki zubaan jaise talve se chipak gayi thi. Woh kaise bolti ki use 'nighty' chahiye? Usne idhar-udhar dekha, uska dil zor-zor se dhadak raha tha. Usne socha wapas nikal jaye, par phir use Shobhit ki wahi berukhi yaad aa gayi.
Shalini (ladkhadati awaaz mein): "Woh... yahan koi... ladki nahi hai kya?"
Aryan chalak tha, woh samajh gaya ki madam sharma rahi hain. Usne ek gehri muskurahat ke saath kaha, "Madam, hamari female staff abhi lunch par gayi hain. Par aap fikar mat kijiye, main yahan ka manager hoon. Aap mujhe bataiye, main aapko sabse behtareen cheez dikhaunga. Hamare paas designer suit, saree aur... special nightwear bhi hai."
'Nightwear' shabd sunte hi Shalini ke kaan laal ho gaye. Usne dheere se apni ungliyan moli aur bahut hi dheemi, halki awaaz mein kaha, "Woh... nighty dikhaiye."
Aryan ne dekha ki kaise Shalini ki bhari chatiyan uski tez saanson ki wajah se upar-niche ho rahi hain. Usne bahut hi 'professional' banne ka natak karte hue counter par kuch box rakhe.
Aryan: "Madam, hamare paas cotton wali toh hai hi, par aajkal aap jaisi khubsurat ladies ke liye ye nayi designer nighties aayi hain."
Usne box khola aur ek kaale rang ki (black) satin nighty bahar nikaali. Wo kapda itna barik aur chamakdar tha ki Shalini ne kabhi sapne mein bhi nahi socha tha.
"Nahi-nahi... ye toh bahut... ajeeb hai. Mujhe simple chahiye," Shalini ne sharmate hue kaha. Usne apna pallu thoda aur kheench kar apne ubhaaron ko dhakne ki koshish ki, par uski ye koshish Aryan ki nazron ko aur bhi zyada bhatka rahi thi.
Aryan (kareeb aate hue): "Madam, aap bholi hain, isliye simple keh rahi hain. Ek baar isse chhu kar toh dekhiye. Isse pehen kar jab aap aaine mein khud ko dekhengi, toh aapko khud se pyaar ho jayega. Aur rahi baat 'simple' ki, toh ye pehne ke baad itni 'sober' lagti hai ki aapki saadgi aur khil uthegi."
Aryan ne jaan-boojhkar nighty ka wo naram kapda Shalini ke hath ke paas rakha. Shalini ne darrte-darrte us par apni ungli pheri. Wo itna thanda aur chikna ehsas tha ki Shalini ke jism mein ek sihran daud gayi.

Aryan ne dekha ki Shalini us kaale satin ke kapde ko dekh kar thoda thithak rahi hai, par uski aankhon mein ek anjaani si chamak bhi hai. Woh jaanta tha ki aisi sharmili auraton ko thoda sa hausla dena padta hai.
"Madam," Aryan ne apni awaaz ko aur bhi naram aur bharosemand banate hue kaha, "Aap fikar kyun kar rahi hain? Hum yahan rozana kitni hi ladies ko ye sab dikhate hain. Par sach kahun toh, ye black color aapki gori rangat par itna khilega ki aap khud hairan reh jayengi."
Shalini ne hichkichate hue kaha, "Nahi... ye bahut barik lag raha hai. Aur mujhe toh bas... bas simple chahiye tha."
Aryan ne chalaki se ek kadam aur badhaya, "Madam, ye bahar se lagta hai aisa, par pehne ke baad iska fall bahut sundar aata hai. Aur dekhiye, aapka jism itna bhara-pura hai, agar fitting sahi nahi hui toh ye bekar lagega. Main aapko apne VIP trial room mein bhej deta hoon. Wahan charo taraf aaine hain, aap khud dekh lijiye ki aap kitni sundar lag rahi hain. Agar pasand na aaye, toh mat lijiyega."
Shalini ne ek baar darwaze ki taraf dekha aur phir us chamchamate satin ki taraf. Uske dimaag mein Shobhit ka thaka hua chehra ghoom gaya. Usne socha, 'Ek baar dekhne mein kya harz hai? Ghar mein toh wahi purani sasti nighties pehenti hoon.'
"Theek hai... kahan hai?" Shalini ne nazrein jhuka kar pucha.
Aryan ke chehre par ek fateh ki muskurahat aayi. Usne nighty ko ek sundar hanger mein lagaya aur Shalini ko showroom ke pichle hisse mein bane ek bade se kanch ke cabin ki taraf le gaya.

[AARCHANA]

Trial room kafi bada tha, upar ek halki peeli (warm) light jal rahi thi jo chamdi ko aur bhi chamkadar banati hai. Aryan ne darwaza khola aur nighty andar tang di.

"Madam, aayiye. Main bahar hi hoon, agar koi bhi dikkat ho—jaise zip phas jaye ya size check karna ho—toh bas ek awaaz dijiyega," Aryan ne bahut 'helpfully' kaha, lekin uski nazron mein ek gandi chamak thi jo Shalini ki samajh se bahar thi.

Shalini andar gayi aur darrte hue bhari kanch ka darwaza andar se lock kiya. Uska dil kisi hathode ki tarah seene mein baj raha tha. Usne apni gulabi saree ka pallu kandhe se hataya aur aaine mein apne aap ko dekha. AC ki thandak uske nange kandhon ko chooh rahi thi.

Usne dheere-dheere apni saree utari aur us kaale resham ke libas ko apne haath mein liya. Woh itna halka tha ki Shalini ko lag raha tha jaise usne hawa pakdi ho. Usne wo nighty apne jism par dali...

Trial room ke andar ki peeli roshni Shalini ke gori rangat par sunehra nikaar la rahi thi. Jab usne wo kaali satin ki nighty apne jism par dali, toh use mehsoos hua ki wo kapda hawa ki tarah naram tha, jo uske shareer ki har banawat se chipak gaya tha.

Shalini ne darrte-darrte aaine ki taraf dekha aur uski apni hi saansein ruk gayin. Aaine mein jo aurat khadi thi, wo wahi sharmili Shalini nahi lag rahi thi jo hamesha saree ke pallo mein dubki rehti thi.

Kaale satin ne uske bhari aur unche ubhaaron ko aisi shape di thi jo usne pehle kabhi mehsoos nahi ki thi. Nighty ka gala thoda gehra tha, jahan se uski gori chatiyon ka oopri hissa saaf chamak raha tha. Har saans ke saath wo resham halka sa hilta, jo uski khubsurti mein ek ajeeb si kashish bhar raha hota.

Satin ka kapda uske pet ki narmi aur uski patli kamar se aise lipat gaya tha jaise koi dusri chamdi ho. Uske badan ki har lachak aaine mein saaf numaya ho rahi thi.

Jab wo thoda mudi, toh usne dekha ki wo nighty uske gol aur bade nitambon par itni fit baith rahi thi ki unka bhari-pan aur unka ubhaar pehle se kahin zyada qayaamat-dhah raha tha.

Shalini ne apne dono hath apne chehre par rakh liye. Uske gaal sharam se tamtama uthe the. Usne socha, "Kya ye sach mein main hoon? Agar unhone (Shobhit ne) mujhe is roop mein dekh liya, toh pata nahi unka kya haal hoga."

Uska dil zor-zor se dhadak raha tha. Use khud se hi darr lag raha tha, par saath hi ek ajeeb si khushi bhi ho rahi thi ki wo abhi bhi itni jawan aur sundar dikh sakti hai.

Tabhi, trial room ke kanch ke darwaze par halki si dastak hui. Shalini hadbada kar piche hati.

"Madam... sab theek hai na? Fitting sahi aa rahi hai?" Aryan ki awaaz bahar se aayi. Woh bahar khada sirf awaaz nahi de raha tha, balki kanch ke darwaze ke barik gap se andar ki jhalak paane ki koshish kar raha tha.

Shalini ne apne hatho se apne seene ko dhakne ki koshish ki. "Haan... haan, main bas... nikal rahi hoon."

Aryan (dheere se): "Madam, agar zip ya shoulder strap mein koi problem ho toh batayiye, main set kar deta hoon. Sharmaiye mat, ye hamara kaam hai."

Shalini ki halat kharab ho rahi thi. Ek taraf aaine mein uska apna qatilana roop aur dusri taraf bahar khada wo young mard jo uske bilkul kareeb hone ki koshish kar raha tha.

Shalini ka dil seene mein kisi hathode ki tarah baj raha tha. Usne jaldi-jaldi wo kaali satin nighty utari aur apni gulabi saree pehenne lagi, lekin ghabrahat mein uske hath kaanp rahe the. Usne socha ki agar woh thodi der aur andar ruki, toh Aryan shayad kisi bahane andar hi na aa jaye.

Jaise hi Shalini ne trial room ka bhari kanch ka darwaza khola aur bahar nikli, uske gaal sharam se laal tamtama rahe the. Usne apni nazrein zameen par tika rakhi thin, par use mehsoos ho raha tha ki Aryan ki nazrein uske jism ke ek-ek mod ko ghoor rahi hain.

Aryan wahi darwaze ke bilkul paas khada tha. Jaise hi Shalini bahar aayi, woh thoda aur kareeb ho gaya.

Aryan (neech nazron se dekhte hue): "Arre madam, aap toh bahar aa gayin? Maine toh aaine mein dekha... aap par wo black color bilkul 'fit' baith raha tha. Sach kahun toh, hamari model bhi usme itni sundar nahi lagti jitni aap lag rahi thin."

Shalini ne hichkichate hue apna purse kas liya. "Nahi... woh, mujhe nahi lagta ki main wo le paungi. Kuch zyada hi... ajeeb hai woh."

Aryan (chalaki se): "Ajeeb nahi madam, 'khaas' hai. Dekhiye, aapka jism itna bhara-pura aur sundar hai, use aisi sasti cotton ki cheezon mein chhupa kar rakhna gunah hai. Aapke pati toh aapko dekh kar dhang reh jayenge."

Shalini ne wahan se nikalne ki koshish ki, "Nahi, mujhe jana hoga."

Lekin Aryan ne rasta nahi chhoda. Usne badi hoshiyari se ek box uthaya aur kaha, "Madam, aap sharma rahi hain isliye aisa keh rahi hain. Main aapko ek aur cheez dikhata hoon jo isse bhi zyada soft hai. Aayiye mere saath piche wale counter par, wahan thodi 'privacy' hai, wahan koi nahi dekhega."

Shalini ne mana karna chaha, par Aryan ki baaton mein ek ajeeb sa jadu tha, ya shayad Shalini ke andar ki wo dabi hui khwahish use rok rahi thi. Woh Aryan ke piche-piche showroom ke us kone mein chali gayi jahan light thodi madhyam (dim) thi aur bahar se koi unhe nahi dekh sakta tha.

Wahan pahunch kar Aryan ne ek bahut hi patli, safed resham ki nighty nikaali. Usne jaan-boojhkar use Shalini ke haath par rakha. Uska hath touch hote hi Shalini piche hati, par Aryan ne hath nahi hataya.

Aryan (dheemi awaaz mein): "Madam, aap itni sharmili kyun hain? Itni khubsurat aurat ko toh dunya par raaj karna chahiye. Kya aapke pati aapko kabhi batate hain ki aapke ye... (usne nazrein Shalini ke ubhaaron par tika di)... ye sab kitna qatilana hai?"

Shalini ki saansein tez ho gayin. Usne aaj tak apne pati ke alawa kisi gair mard se aisi baatein nahi suni thin. Uski sharam use bhagne ko keh rahi thi, par uski 'aurat' Aryan ki is tareef se kahin na kahin pighal rahi thi.

Shalini (ladkhadati awaaz mein): "Aap... aap ye kya keh rahe hain? Main ja rahi hoon."

Aryan ne dheere se uski saree ka pallu jo niche girne ko tha, use pakda aur bola, "Rukiye toh... abhi toh maine aapko asli cheez dikhayi hi nahi."

Shalini ki dhadkanein us waqt rukne wali thin jab Aryan uske behad kareeb aa gaya tha. Uski baaton mein chhupi tharkas aur uski nazron ki garmi Shalini ko andar tak ghabra rahi thi. Aryan ne jaise hi apna hath badhaya, tabhi showroom ke main gate ka sheesha khulne ki awaaz aayi aur do female salesgirls hasti-muskurati hui lunch se wapas andar dakhil huin.

Unke aane ki aahat sunte hi Aryan jhat se piche hata aur normal hone ka natak karne laga.

Shalini ko jaise zindagi mil gayi ho. Usne na aao dekha na tao, bina Aryan ki taraf dekhe woh tezi se darwaze ki taraf bhagi. Uska pura badan paseene se tar-batar tha aur gaal sharam se laal ho chuke the. Uska dimag sunn tha, bas ek hi khayal tha—"Yahan se nikalna hai."

Woh tezi se kanch ka darwaza dhakel kar bahar nikli aur posh area ki chamakti sadak par tez qadmon se chalne lagi.

Jab woh apne ilake ki pehchan wali galiyon mein pahunchi, tab usne chain ki saans li. Par jaise hi usne apne ghar ke darwaze par pahunch kar chabi nikaalne ke liye hath badhaya, uske hosh ud gaye.

Uski bagal mein tangne wala wo purana sa purse (bag) uske paas nahi tha. Aur sirf bag hi nahi, uska keypad phone bhi usi bag ke andar tha.

Shalini wahi darwaze par thithak kar khadi reh gayi. Uska chehra saphed pad gaya. "Hey bhagwan! Main apna bag aur phone wahin counter par bhool aayi!"

Uski halat kharab ho rahi thi. Us bag mein:

Shobhit ke diye hue baaki paise the.

Uska phone tha, jisme Sonali aur Shobhit ke number the.

Sabse bada darr—agar Shobhit ne phone kiya aur Aryan ne utha liya toh? Ya agar Aryan ne bag khol kar uski pehchan dekh li toh?

Idhar 'Rose-Petals' mein, Aryan ne dekha ki counter par Shalini ka bag aur phone pada hai. Usne ek gehri muskurahat ke saath bag uthaya aur uske andar hath dala. Usne Shalini ka wo purana keypad phone bahar nikaala aur use ghoorne laga.

Usne socha, "Bholi murgi ne toh apna pura thikana hi yahan chhod diya. Ab toh tujhe wapas aana hi padega, Shalini ji..."

Aryan ne phone on kiya aur 'Call Logs' check karne laga. Usne dekha ki Shalini ne itni sharam ke bawajood wahan se nikalte waqt kitni jaldbaazi ki thi.

Shalini ka bag aur phone Aryan ke haath lagna, maano us shikari ko uski sabse badi kamyabi mil gayi ho. Aryan ne bade sukoon se counter ke peeche beth kar Shalini ka wo sasta sa bag khola. Usne dekha ki andar kuch naye note rakhe the aur ek purana keypad phone.

Aryan ne phone apne haath mein ghuma hi raha tha ki achanak woh vibrate karne laga. Screen par naam chamak raha tha— "Ji".

Aryan ki aankhon mein ek shaitani chamak aa gayi. Woh samajh gaya ki ye Shalini ke pati, Shobhit ka phone hai. Usne ek gehri saans li aur badi dheetayi se 'Answer' ka button daba diya.

Shobhit (dusri taraf se): "Hello? Shalini? Arre kahan ho tum? Ghar pahunchi ki nahi? Kitni baar phone kiya hai... sun rahi ho?"

Shobhit ki awaaz mein thodi chinta aur thodi jhunjhalahat thi. Aryan ne thoda ruk kar, bade dheere aur namm (soft) awaaz mein jawab diya.

Aryan: "Hello... Shobhit ji bol rahe hain?"

Phone par mard ki awaaz sunte hi Shobhit ke kaan khade ho gaye. Uske registers par chalta pen ruk gaya. Shobhit: "Haan... main bol raha hoon. Par... aap kaun? Aur meri biwi ka phone aapke paas kaise?"

Aryan (chalaki se): "Ji namaste. Ghabraiye mat, main 'Rose-Petals' showroom se manager bol raha hoon. Darasal, madam yahan aayi thi kuch saaman dekhne... shayad jaldi mein woh apna bag aur phone yahin counter par bhool gayi hain. Main toh bas unhe phone karne hi wala tha par aapka call aa gaya."

Shobhit ko thoda sukoon mila par usne hairani se pucha, "Rose-Petals? Woh naya showroom? Shalini wahan kya kar rahi thi? Aur woh abhi kahan hai?"

Aryan: "Woh toh nikal gayi hain ji. Shayad raaste mein hongi. Aap chinta mat kijiye, unka bag aur phone bilkul safe hai. Maine cupboard mein lock kar diya hai. Agar aap kahein toh main ghar bhijwa doon? Ya phir madam khud aa jayengi?"

Shobhit: "Nahi-nahi, aap kyun takleef karenge. Main toh dukan par hoon... main Shalini ko bol dunga, woh kal subah ya jab bhi ho, chakkar laga legi. Bahut-bahut shukriya aapka."

Aryan ne phone kaatne se pehle kaha, "Koi baat nahi ji, hamara farz hai. Waise madam kaafi... 'disturbed' lag rahi thin. Aap fikar mat kijiye."

Idhar Shalini ghar ke andar kisi pinjre mein band chidiya ki tarah tadap rahi thi. Usne socha ki agar Shobhit ne phone kiya aur Aryan ne kuch ulta-pulta keh diya toh uska ghar ujaad jayega.

Tabhi ghar ki bell baji. Shalini ne ghabrate hue darwaza khola. Samne Soham khada tha.

"Mummy, aapka phone kahan hai? Papa ka mere paas phone aaya tha, keh rahe the ki aap apna bag dukan par bhool gayi ho kisi showroom mein?" Soham ne hairat se pucha.

Shalini ke paon ke niche se zameen nikal gayi. Use laga ki ab sab khatam ho gaya.

Shalini (haklate hue): "Woh... haan beta... woh dukan badi thi na, toh shayad dhyan nahi raha. Papa ne... papa ne aur kuch kaha?"

Soham: "Nahi, bus bola ki aap kal ja kar le aana. Par Mummy, aap itni ghabrayi hui kyun ho? Paseena aa raha hai aapko."

Shalini ne pallu se apna munh dhaka aur kitchen ki taraf bhagi, "Nahi kuch nahi... bas thodi garmi hai."

Raat ko jab Shobhit ghar aaya, usne Shalini se us showroom ke baare mein pucha. Shalini ne jhoot bol diya ki woh bas raste mein thi toh andar chali gayi. Par Shalini jaanti thi ki kal use dobara wahan jana padega.

Aur is baar Aryan ke paas uska bag aur phone tha... yaani uske paas Shalini ko rokne ka ek pukhta bahana!

Raat bhar Shalini ko nind nahi aayi. Uske dimaag mein bas wahi Aryan ki nazrein aur Shobhit ka bholapan ghoom raha tha. Use lag raha tha jaise usne koi bahut bada paap kar diya ho, lekin ab uske paas koi raasta nahi tha.

Subah hui, Shobhit dukan chale gaye aur Soham apne college. Shalini ne ghar ka kaam aise kiya jaise koi robot kar raha ho. Uska mann baar-baar keh raha tha ki mat ja, par bag mein rakhe paise aur phone ke bina uska kaam nahi chalne wala tha.

Usne aaj wahi purani, sadharan sooti saree pehni aur maathe par ek choti bindi lagayi, taaki woh bilkul "simple" lage. Lekin uske chehre ki ghabrahat aur uske bhari-pure jism ki lachak ko koi bhi saree nahi chhupa sakti thi.

Jab woh 'Rose-Petals' pahunchi, toh dukan abhi khuli hi thi. Aryan counter par baitha kisi file mein dekh raha tha. Jaise hi usne Shalini ko andar aate dekha, usne file band ki aur ek gehri, vijayi (victorious) muskurahat di.

Aryan: "Aaiye Shalini ji... humein pata tha aap sabse pehle yahin aayengi."

Shalini ne apni nazrein neeche rakhi aur bahut dheere se kaha, "Mera... mera bag?"

Aryan ne counter ke niche se bag nikaala, par use Shalini ki taraf badhaya nahi. Usne bag ko apne haath mein thama rakha.

Aryan: "Bag toh yahin hai madam, par kal aap itni jaldi mein kyun bhagi? Aapke pati ka phone aaya tha... maine unse baat kar li. Bahut bhale manas hain woh, par shayad unhe pata nahi ki unki biwi kitni 'shaukeen' hai."

Shalini ka chehra saphed pad gaya. "Aapne... aapne unhe kuch kaha toh nahi?"

Aryan (kareeb aate hue): "Abhi toh nahi kaha... par ye depend karta hai. Kal aapne woh black nighty try ki thi, maine dekha tha... aap par bahut jach rahi thi. Par aapne use khareeda nahi."

Shalini ne ghabrate hue kaha, "Mujhe woh nahi chahiye, bas mera bag de dijiye, mujhe der ho rahi hai."

Aryan (thoda gambhir hokar): "Aise kaise jane doon? Kal aapne hamara itna waqt kharab kiya... aur waise bhi, aapka phone mere paas hai, usme bahut saare 'personal' numbers hain. Agar main chahun toh..."

Usne baat adhuri chhod di. Shalini samajh gayi ki Aryan use black-mail kar raha hai. Uski saansein phoolne lagin aur uske unchay ubhaar tez saans lene ki wajah se tezi se upar-niche hone lage. Aryan ki nazrein wahi gadi hui thin.

Aryan: "Ek kaam kijiye... mere piche wale cabin mein aaiye. Hum baith kar baat karte hain. Agar aapne meri baat maan li, toh bag aur phone abhi de dunga... aur aapke pati ko kabhi pata bhi nahi chalega ki aap yahan kyun aayi thin."

Shalini thar-thar kaanp rahi thi. "Nahi... main yahan se nahi jaungi."

Aryan: "Theek hai, toh main abhi aapke pati ko dobara phone karta hoon aur batata hoon ki unki 'pativrata' biwi kal yahan kya-kya dekh rahi thi aur kaise bhagi."

Aryan ne phone uthane ka natak kiya. Shalini toot gayi. Usne darrte hue kaha, "Nahi... rukiye. Main... main aati hoon."

Aryan ne use rasta diya aur use piche bane manager ke cabin ki taraf le gaya. Jaise hi Shalini andar dakhil hui, Aryan ne darwaza band kiya aur kundi (lock) laga di.

[Asli lund]

Mast shuruwat

[AARCHANA]

Cabin ke andar AC ki halki sarsarahat ke ilawa bilkul sannata tha. Shalini darwaze se chipak kar khadi thi, usne apne pallu ko itne zor se pakda tha ki uski ungliyan saphed pad gayi thin. Aryan apni kursi par bade araam se baith gaya aur Shalini ke bhari-pure jism ko sar se paon tak niharne laga.

Aryan: "Dekhiye Shalini ji, main koi bura aadmi nahi hoon. Bas baat itni hai ki kal se aapka wo roop mere dimaag se nikal nahi raha hai. Itni sundar aurat aur itni saadgi... ye toh mardo par zulm hai."

Shalini ne roasi (crying) awaaz mein kaha, "Please... mera bag de dijiye. Mujhse galti ho gayi jo main yahan aayi."

Aryan (muskurate hue): "Galti ko sudhara ja sakta hai. Meri ek choti si shart hai. Aapne kal wo black nighty pehni thi, par main use theek se dekh nahi paya. Bas ek baar... bas 5 minute ke liye aap wo nighty dobara pehen lijiye. Main bas dekhna chahta hoon ki wo aap par kaisi lagti hai. Bas itna kar dijiye, aur aapka bag, phone aur meri khamoshi... sab aapka."

Shalini ke kaan garam ho gaye. "Nahi! Main aisa... main nahi kar sakti. Main ek izzatdar ghar ki bahu hoon."

Aryan (thanda hokar): "Izzatdar? Agar Shobhit ji ko pata chala ki unki biwi dopahar ko aise showrooms mein aakar aisi cheezein try karti hai, toh kya izzat bachegi? Soham ko pata chalega toh kya sochega?"

Shalini toot gayi. Use pata tha ki Aryan dheet hai. Usne darrte hue pucha, "Bas... bas pehenna hoga?"

Aryan: "Haan, bas pehen kar yahan khadi ho jayiye. Main door se dekhunga. Phir aap ja sakti hain."

Aryan ne wahi kaali satin nighty counter se uthakar table par rakh di. Shalini ne kaanpte hathon se wo resham ka tukda uthaya. Cabin ke kone mein ek chota sa parda laga tha badalne ke liye.

Kuch der baad, jab parda hata, toh Aryan ki aankhein phati ki phati reh gayi. Shalini ne wo kaali satin nighty pehni hui thi. Uska gora badan us kaale rang mein chamak raha tha.

Bina kisi support ke, uski bhari-bhari chatiyan us patle kapde ke niche apni puri azadi mein thin. Unka uncha ubhaar Aryan ka hosh uda raha tha.

Shalini sharam ke maare apni baahon se khud ko dhakne ki koshish kar rahi thi, lekin satin ka wo chikna kapda uske nitambon aur kamar se chipka hua tha, jo uski har ek lachak ko saaf dikha raha tha.

Shalini ki aankhon mein aansu the, par Aryan ke liye wo ek khubsurat manzar tha.

Aryan (kursi se uthte hue): "Kamaal hai... aap toh kisi pari jaisi lag rahi hain. Shobhit ji toh sach mein bewakoof hain jo dukan par bethe rehte hain."

Aryan dhire-dhire uski taraf badhne laga. Shalini piche hati, par piche deewar thi.

Aryan dhire-dhire Shalini ki taraf badha. Shalini deewar se chipki hui thi, uski saansein itni tez thi ki kaali satin ki nighty uske unchay aur bhari ubhaaron par tezi se upar-niche ho rahi thi. Uski sharam aur darr ne uski khubsurti mein ek ajeeb si lachak bhar di thi.

Aryan bilkul uske kareeb ruk gaya. Usne apni naak Shalini ke baalon ke paas le ja kar ek gehri saans li. "Shalini ji... aapki khushboo bilkul mandir ke chandan jaisi hai, par ye jism... ye jism toh kisi gunah jaisa hai."

Shalini ne aankhein band kar li, uske palkon se ek aansu nikal kar uske gore gaal par phisal gaya. Aryan ne badi himmat karke apna hath badhaya aur Shalini ki naram kamar par rakha. Satin ka kapda itna chikna tha ki uska hath phisal kar niche uske gol nitambon ke oopri hisse ko choo gaya.

Shalini ka pura badan kaanp utha. Usne siskari bharte hue dhire se kaha, "Nahi... please... mera bag de dijiye."

Aryan ne uske kaan ke paas phusphusate hue kaha, "Bas ek baar mehsoos karna chahta hoon ki Shobhit ji kitne khush-kismat hain." Usne apna dusra hath Shalini ke kandhe par rakha aur sarakte hue uski gori gardan ko chhua.

Aryan ne thodi aur badtameezi ki koshish ki, lekin usne dekha ki Shalini bilkul patthar jaisi ho gayi hai. Woh samajh gaya ki agar abhi isse zyada kuch kiya, toh ye aurat ya toh behosh ho jayegi ya cheekh degi. Usne dhire se apna hath hataya aur piche hat gaya.

"Theek hai... aaj ke liye itna hi kaafi hai. Aap kapde badal lijiye. Aapka bag aur phone counter par rakha hai," Aryan ne ek gehri muskurahat ke saath kaha.

Shalini bina kuch bole parde ke piche bhagi. Uska badan abhi bhi thar-thar kaanp raha tha jahan Aryan ne use chhua tha. Usne jaldi se saree pehni aur cabin se nikal kar counter se apna bag uthaya aur bina mud kar dekhe showroom se bahar bhag gayi. Uske mann mein bas ek hi baat thi—"Mujhe ghar ja kar nahana hai, mujhe ye sab bhulana hai."

Aryan ke us cabin se nikalne ke baad, agle 8-10 din Shalini ne kisi bhayanak sapne ki tarah bitaye. Shuruat ke do-teen din toh woh darr ke maare thar-thar kaanpti rahi. Jab bhi Shobhit dukan se der se laut-te, use lagta ki shayad Aryan ne unhe phone kar diya hoga ya dukan par jaakar sab bata diya hoga.

Par dhire-dhire jab din guzarne lage aur dukan se koi buri khabar nahi aayi, toh Shalini ne sukoon ki saans li. Usne apne mann ko samjhaya— "Shayad woh dukandar sirf darr dikha raha tha. Ab sab theek hai."

Usne wo kaali satin nighty, jo usne majboori mein khareedi thi (Aryan ne bag ke saath wahi pack kar di thi), almari ke sabse niche wale kone mein chhupa di. Usne socha tha ki ek din, jab maun sahi hoga, woh ise pehen kar Shobhit ko ek naya roop dikhayegi. Wo chahti thi ki unka rishta jo kaam ki wajah se thanda pad gaya hai, usme phir se wahi purani aag laute.

Shalini ke mann mein ek kashmakash thi. Aryan wale kisse ne use andar se thoda daraya zaroor tha, par saath hi uske andar ek soti hui aurat ko jaga bhi diya tha. Use laga ki shayad Shobhit ki berukhi ki wajah woh khud hai.

Usi raat, Shalini ne khud ko taiyar kiya. Shobhit bistar par let kar hisaab ki diary dekh rahe the. Shalini dressing table ke saamne baithi. Usne apne bheege baalon ko khula chhoda, aankhon mein halka kaajal lagaya aur hothon par thodi si laali.

Aaine mein dekhte hue usne bistar par lete Shobhit ko nihara. Aaj usne ek halki gulabi rang ki cotton ki nighty pehni thi, jo uske bhari-pure badan se chipak rahi thi. Usne socha aaj woh Shobhit ko rijha legi. Woh dhire se bistar par gayi aur unke kareeb sarak gayi. Usne apna naram hath Shobhit ke seene par rakha.

Shobhit ne pehle toh thoda dhyan diya, unhone Shalini ke unchay ubhaaron ko mehsoos kiya aur uske kareeb aaye. Thodi der ke liye dono ke beech garmi badhi, par Shobhit ki thakan unki ichha par bhaari pad gayi. Do-chaar minute ki us adhuri koshish ke baad, Shobhit ne karwat badal li aur gehri neend mein so gaye.

Shalini wahi garam jism aur bhari saanson ke saath leti rahi. Uski pyaas adhuri thi. Use laga shayad uske is sadharan roop mein ab woh baat nahi rahi jo Shobhit ko jagaye rakh sake.

Agli subah, Shalini naha kar kamre mein aayi. Woh sirf ek gehre laal rang ke blouse aur peticoat mein thi. Uske baal bheege hue the aur pani ki boondein uski gori peeth aur kandhon par chamak rahi thin. Uska peticoat uski gol aur bhari kamar par kasa hua tha.

Woh almari khol kar saree nikalne hi wali thi ki uski nazar kone mein chhupi us 'Rose-Petals' wali kaali satin nighty par padi. Usne use nikaala aur apne jism ke saamne rakh kar aaine mein dekha.

"Kya aaj raat main ye pehnu? Shayad is resham ki chamak unhe sone na de," usne khud se sawal kiya. Uska dil dharak raha tha. Usne faisla kiya ki aaj woh apni sharam ko dar-kinar karke ye experiment zaroor karegi. Usne din bhar ghar ka kaam kisi machine ki tarah kiya, bas raat ka intezar tha.

Raat hui. Shalini ne kitchen ka kaam jaldi niptaya. Shalini ne socha ki aaj wo Shobhit ka mann behlayegi. Usne unki pasand ka matar-paneer banaya aur kheer tyari ki. Woh naha-dho kar taiyar hone hi wali thi, tabhi darwaza khula.

Shalini muskurate hue bahar aayi, par uski muskurahat wahi jam gayi. Shobhit ghar dakhil hue, par aaj unke hath khali the aur chehra bilkul saphed pad chuka tha. Unki aankhon mein nind nahi, balki tabahi ka darr tha.

Tabhi darwaza khula. Shobhit andar aaya, par uske hath mein na toh rozana ka saaman tha aur na hi chehre par thakan wali muskurahat. Uske chehre par ek ajeeb sa saphed-pan (paleness) tha.

Shobhit bina kuch kahe sofa par gir sa gaya. Uske hath kaanp rahe the.

Shalini (kareeb aate hue): "Ji? Kya hua? Dekhiye aaj maine aapke liye kheer banayi hai. Aap aise kyun baithe hain?"

Shobhit ne apni laal aankhen upar uthayi. "Shalini... kheer-veeri sab bhul jao. Hamari buniyaad hil gayi hai."

Usne thar-thrati awaaz mein bataya ki kaise dukan par wo sarkari log aaye the aur kaise 'Duplicate identity' ke chakkar mein unka sab kuch chhinne wala hai.

Shalini ka dil doob gaya. Use laga jaise bhagwan usse badla le raha hai. Ek taraf wo Aryan ke ehsas se azad hui hi thi, ki ab uske pati par ye musibat aa gayi.

Shalini: "Par koi raasta toh hoga na? Hum vakeel ke paas chalte hain."

Shobhit: "Vakeel kaghaz dekhta hai Shalini, aur kaghaz keh rahe hain ki Shobhit main nahi, koi aur hai. Khanna ne bataya hai... sirf ek hi raasta hai. Us 'dusre' Shobhit ko dhoondhna hoga. Uska naam Pramod hai."

Shalini ne jab Pramod ka naam suna, toh use ek anjaani si ghabrahat hui. Shobhit ne jab use bataya ki Pramod ko shehar laakar apne hi ghar mein rakhna padega, toh Shalini ke hosh ud gaye.

Shobhit: "Shalini, wo meri jagah dukan par baithega taaki sabko lage asli Shobhit wahi hai. Aur agar duniya ko dikhana hai, toh use yahan ghar mein bhi rehna hoga... meri tarah bankar."

Shalini ki nazar us almari ki taraf gayi jahan wo kaali nighty chhupi thi. Wo nighty jo usne apne pati ke liye li thi, ab us ghar mein ek gair mard aane wala tha jo uske pati jaisa hi dikhta tha. Uska wo "Surprise" ab uski zindagi ka sabse bada khauf banne wala tha.

(USS DIN SUBAH)

Idhar shehar ke dusre kone mein, Shobhit ki dukan par rozana ki tarah bheed thi. Shobhit ek purane grahak ko cheeni (sugar) tol kar de raha tha. Pasina uske mathe se beh raha tha, par uske chehre par ek santushti thi.

Tabhi, dukan ke samne ek sarkari gaadi aakar ruki. Do log safed safari suit mein utre, unke hath mein kuch files thin. Shobhit ne unhe dekha toh thoda thithak gaya.

Officer: "Shobhit Kumar kaun hai?"

Shobhit ne hath dho kar aage aate hue kaha, "Ji, main hoon. Kuch chahiye tha sahab?"

Officer ne bade rookhepan se ek file counter par rakhi. "Humein khabar mili hai ki ye dukan jis zameen par hai, uska purana allotment cancel ho gaya hai. Aur dusri baat, aapke naam par jo ID register hai, usme dhandli (fraud) payi gayi hai."

Shobhit ka dil ek dum se baith gaya. "Sahab, ye dukan mere dada ke zamane ki hai. Saare kaghaz pakke hain. Fraud kaisa?"

Officer (file kholte hue): "Computer records ke hisaab se, Shobhit Kumar naam ka shaks koi aur hai, jiski photo hamare database mein hai. Aapka chehra hamare record se match nahi karta. Ya toh aapne kisi ki identity churaayi hai, ya phir ye dukan benami hai."

Shobhit ne kaghaz dekhe. Record mein jo photo thi, woh Pramod ki thi (halaki Shobhit abhi nahi jaanta tha ki woh kaun hai). Us shaks ka chehra Shobhit se milta-julta tha, lekin woh Shobhit nahi tha.

"Ye main nahi hoon sahab! Ye pata nahi kiski photo hai," Shobhit ne gid-gidate hue kaha.

Officer: "Humein nahi pata. Aapko 15 din ka notice diya jata hai. Agar aapne sabit nahi kiya ki aap hi 'asli' Shobhit Kumar hain, toh ye dukan seal kar di jayegi aur aap par case chalega."

Officer wahan se nikal gaya, par Shobhit wahi kursi par dher ho gaya. Uske registers, uski kamai, uska sab kuch ek pal mein dhuan hota dikh raha tha.

Shobhit ghar pahunchta hai. Shalini, jo pehle se hi Aryan wale kisse se tuti hui thi, jab apne pati ka utra hua chehra dekhti hai, toh woh darr jati hai.

Raat ka waqt tha. Ghar mein sannata roz se gehra tha. Shalini, jo abhi-abhi Aryan ke us gande ehsas ko naha-dhokar apne badan se utaarne ki koshish kar rahi thi, kitchen mein khadi kaanp rahi thi. Use lag raha tha ki usne apne pati se bahut bada raaz chhupaya hai.

Tabhi Shobhit ghar dakhil hua. Lekin aaj uske kadmon mein wo purani raftaar nahi thi. Uska chehra utra hua tha aur aankhon mein ek ajeeb sa khauf tha.

Shobhit bina kuch bole sofa par dher ho gaya. Shalini ne paani ka gilaas aage kiya, uske hath abhi bhi Aryan ke chhuan ki wajah se thode ladkhada rahe the.

"Ji... kya hua? Aaj bade pareshan lag rahe hain? Dukan par sab theek toh hai na?" Shalini ne dheere se pucha, apni nazar jhukaye hue. Use dar tha ki kahin Shobhit uski aankhon mein Aryan ka kissa na padh le.

Shobhit ne ek gehri saans li aur apna sar pakad liya. "Shalini... sab khatam hone wala hai. Aaj dukan par sarkari log aaye the. Keh rahe hain ki dukan jis kaghaz par hai, wo 'Shobhit' main hoon hi nahi."

Shalini hairan reh gayi. "Ye kya keh rahe hain aap? Aap hi toh Shobhit hain."

"Records mein kisi aur ki photo chapi hai Shalini! Wo bilkul meri tarah dikhta hai, par wo main nahi hoon. Usne pata nahi kaise mere saare documents apne naam kar liye hain. Agar 15 din mein maine sabit nahi kiya ki main hi asli Shobhit hoon, toh dukan seal ho jayegi aur mujhe jail ho sakti hai."

Shalini ke hosh ud gaye. Aryan wala kissa ek pal mein piche chhoot gaya. Ab musibat ghar ki buniyaad par thi.

Agli subah, Shobhit apne sabse purane dost Khanna se milne uski purani kothi par pahunchta hai. Khanna thoda chalak aur duniyadari samajhne wala aadmi tha.

"Dekh Shobhit," Khanna ne cigarette ka dhuwan udate hue kaha, "Ye kaam kaghazon se nahi banega. Jisne ye kiya hai, wo bahut bada khiladi hai. Maine pata lagwaya hai... wo banda Lucknow ke paas ek gaon mein rehta hai. Uska naam Pramod hai."

Shobhit ne hairani se pucha, "Pramod? Par wo meri identity kyun istemal kar raha hai?"

"Kyunki wo bilkul teri tarah dikhta hai! Agar tu dukan bachana chahta hai, toh tujhe usse milna hoga. Use yahan lana hoga taaki wo court mein bayan de sake ki tum dono alag ho. Lekin dhyan rakhna, Pramod koi seedha banda nahi hai. Wo bahut chalak aur gunde kism ka aadmi hai. Sunne mein aaya hai ki us par kai purane cases bhi hain."

Shobhit darr gaya. "Toh main kya karoon? Use yahan ghar le aau?"

Khanna ne muskurate hue Shobhit ke kandhe par hath rakha. "Wahi ek raasta hai. Use bol ki kuch din ke liye tera 'duplicate' bankar yahan rahe jab tak kaghaz theek na ho jayein. Par yaad rakhna Shobhit... wo teri jagah lega, toh sirf dukan mein hi nahi, tere ghar mein bhi use tera roop dharna padega."

Shobhit ghar lauta. Uske dimaag mein Khanna ki baatein ghoom rahi thin. Usne dekha ki Shalini kitchen mein khadi dhyan se kaam kar rahi thi. Uski gori gardan aur uski gol kaaya ko dekh kar Shobhit ko pehli baar darr laga.

Kya main ek anjaan shaks ko, jo meri tarah dikhta hai, apne ghar mein apni biwi ke paas chhod paunga?

Lekin dukan khone ka darr uski maryada se bada ho gaya tha. Usne raat ko Shalini ko paas bithaya.

"Shalini... mujhe kuch dinon ke liye gaon jana hoga kaghazat ke silsile mein. Aur meri jagah yahan ek shaks aayega. Wo bilkul mere jaisa dikhta hai. Duniya ki nazron mein wo main hi rahunga, taaki kisi ko shaq na ho ki asli Shobhit kahan gaya."

Shobhit ne rote hue kaha, "Shalini, sab khatam ho jayega agar maine us Pramod ko yahan nahi bulaya. Use meri jagah leni hogi... dukan mein bhi aur duniya ke saamne is ghar mein bhi."

Shalini ke badan mein ek sihran daud gayi. Woh nighty jo usne apne pati ko rijhane ke liye li thi, ab us ghar mein ek aisa mard aane wala tha jo bilkul uske pati jaisa dikhta tha, par gair tha.

Shalini ki aankhein phati ki phati reh gayi. "Ji? Ye aap kya keh rahe hain? Koi gair mard hamare ghar mein... aapki jagah?"

"Majboori hai Shalini! Agar dukan gayi toh Soham ki padhai ruk jayegi, hamara ghar bik jayega. Tum fikar mat karo, wo bas kuch dinon ki baat hai. Soham ko lagega wo uske papa hain, aur tum toh jaanti hi ho asliyat. Bas thoda sambhal kar rehna."

Shalini ka dil doobne laga. Abhi woh Aryan ke us chote se chhuan se ubhri bhi nahi thi, ki uske pati ne uske ghar mein ek "Naye Pati" ke aane ka rasta saaf kar diya tha.

[AARCHANA]

Shobhit aur Shalini ke liye wo raat kisi kaal-raatri se kam nahi thi. Dono ne khana tak nahi khaya. Soham ne jab pucha toh Shobhit ne bas sar-dard ka bahana bana diya. Shalini ne kitchen mein khade hokar kheer ka wo patila dekha jise usne badi umeedon se banaya tha, par aaj wo kheer bhi kadwi lag rahi thi.

Agli subah Shobhit ne thoda hosla jutaya aur apne dost Khanna ke paas pahuncha. Uske hath kaanp rahe the jab usne Khanna se wo kagaz manga jisme Pramod ka pata likha tha.

"Khanna, kya sach mein koi aur rasta nahi hai? Main kisi gair ko apne ghar kaise la sakta hoon?" Shobhit ne gidgidate hue pucha.

Khanna ne use dekha aur bola, "Shobhit, agar dukan bachani hai toh ye khatra uthana hi padega. Ja, usse mil... shayad wo paise lekar maan jaye."

Shobhit ne ghar aakar Shalini ko sab bataya. Shalini ka dil doobne laga. Usne Shobhit ka hath pakda aur kaha, "Ji, aap sambhal kar jaiyega. Mujhe na jaane kyun bahut darr lag raha hai."

Shobhit ne ek gehri saans li aur Lucknow ke paas us gaon ke liye nikal gaya jahan Pramod rehta tha.

Gaon ke kinare ek purani, thodi tuti-footi par raubdaar haveli jaisi jagah par Pramod rehta tha. Jab Shobhit wahan pahuncha aur usne Pramod ko dekha, toh uske hosh ud gaye.

Pramod bilkul Shobhit jaisa dikhta tha—wahi kad-kaathi, wahi naak-naksh. Fark sirf itna tha ki Shobhit ki aankhon mein sharifiyat thi, aur Pramod ki aankhon mein shaitani aur tharkas. Pramod ne sirf ek dhoti pehni thi aur uska sharir Shobhit se thoda zyada sakht tha.

Pramod ne muskurate hue Shobhit ko upar se neeche tak dekha. "Arre... hamara humshakal humse milne aaya hai? Bolo shehar wale babu, kaise yaad kiya?"

Shobhit ne darrte-darrte saari baat batayi aur 2 lakh rupaye ka ek lifafa samne rakh diya. "Pramod bhai, ye lijiye paise. Bas court mein aakar keh dijiye ki aap alag hain aur hamari identity alag hai. Meri dukan bach jayegi."

Pramod ne wo lifafa uthaya, note gine aur phir zor se hasne laga. Usne wo paise Shobhit ke upar phenk diye.

Pramod: "Paise? Mujhe in thode se paison ka lalach mat dikha Shobhit. Maine tera pura kacha-chittha nikalwaya hai. Teri dukan mahine ka lakhon kamati hai... aur suna hai teri biwi bhi bahut 'laajawab' hai?"

Shobhit ka khoon thanda pad gaya. "Aap... aap ye kya keh rahe hain?"

Pramod (Shobhit ke aur kareeb aate hue): "Mujhe tere ye 2-4 lakh nahi chahiye. Mujhe teri wo puri dukan chahiye. Aur jab tak court ka chakkar chalega, main teri jagah shehar mein rahunga... tere ghar mein rahunga. Agar manzoor hai toh bol, warna kal dukan par taala lagne wala hai."

Shobhit ki bolti band ho gayi. Pramod ne jo shart rakhi thi, wo sirf dukan nahi, balki Shobhit ki puri zindagi kabze mein lene ki thi.

Bilkul sahi, Pramod ke dimaag ki shaitaniyat ko samajhne ke liye uske atit (past) mein jaana bahut zaroori hai. Woh koi mamuli gunda nahi tha, balki ek gira hua chalaak shikari tha.

Pramod ka Plan: Tute Ghar se Mahal ka Sapna
Shobhit ke jaane ke baad, Pramod apni us purani, dhalan wali jhopadi ke bahar ek khatiya (charpai) par leta hua tha. Uske hath mein wahi 2-4 lakh rupaye ka lifafa tha jo Shobhit ne use lalach mein diya tha. Pramod ne thooka aur ek bidi sulgayi.

Usne socha us din ke baare mein jab pehli baar use is 'duplicate' hone ki baat ka pata chala tha.

Woh Raaz kaise khula? Darasal, ek saal pehle Pramod kisi chori ke silsile mein Lucknow gaya tha. Wahan ek bade General Store ke samne ek aadmi (Shobhit) apni car se utra. Pramod use dekh kar thithak gaya—woh bilkul uska humshakal tha, par mehnge kapdon aur sone ki ghadi mein. Pramod ne us din uska picha kiya. Usne dekha ki Shobhit ka shehar mein kitna bada naam hai, kitni badi dukan hai aur kaisa shandaar ghar.

Usne dhire-dhire Shobhit ke baare mein jaankari nikaalni shuru ki:

Shobhit ka bank balance kitna hai.

Uska General Store shehar ka sabse purana aur chalta hua dukan hai.

Aur sabse badi baat—Shobhit ek bhola aur darrpok aadmi hai.

Pramod ka Shaitani Dimag: Pramod ne hi wo saari 'ID dhandli' aur 'Property fraud' ke kisse piche se rache the. Usne hi apne gaon ke kuch logon se milkar aise kaghazat taiyar karwaye ki Shobhit ki identity par sawaal khade ho jayein. Woh jaanta tha ki Shobhit darr kar uske paas zaroor aayega.

Bidi ka dhuaan chhodte hue Pramod ne badbadaya, "Shobhit babu... tumne toh socha tha ki 2 lakh de kar mujhe court le jaoge? Tumhe kya pata ki mujhe sirf dukan nahi, tumhari puri zindagi chahiye. Tumhara wo bada ghar, tumhari gaadi, tumhari izzat... sab ab mera hoga."

Pramod abhi sirf dukan aur paise ke baare mein soch raha tha. Use abhi tak ye nahi pata tha ki Shobhit ke paas ek aisi bhari-puri aur khubsurat biwi bhi hai, jise dekh kar uska lalach hawas mein badal jayega.

Usne apni jhopadi ki diwar par tanga ek purana toota sheesha dekha aur apni moochon par hath pherte hue bola, "Bas 2 din aur... phir asli Shobhit toh jail jayega ya raaste se hatega, aur ye 'Duplicate' raj karega."

Shobhit thaka-hara, toota hua ghar lauta. Shalini darwaze par intezar kar rahi thi. Usne dekha ki Shobhit ke chehre par maut jaisi khamoshi thi.

"Kya hua? Wo maan gaya?" Shalini ne ghabrate hue pucha.

Shobhit ne rote hue apna sar Shalini ke kandhe par rakh diya. "Nahi Shalini... wo paise se nahi maan raha. Use hamari dukan chahiye... aur wo shehar aana chahta hai. Hamare ghar mein, meri jagah rehne ke liye."

Shalini ke paon ke niche se zameen nikal gayi. Use wo kaali satin nighty yaad aayi jo usne almari mein chhupayi thi. Usne socha tha ki wo Shobhit ke liye hai, par ab us ghar mein ek aisa shaks aane wala tha jo bilkul uske pati jaisa tha, par jiska dimaag ek darinde jaisa tha.

Shobhit ne darrte-darrte Pramod ko shehar bulane ka faisla toh kar liya, lekin usne ek shart rakhi ki Pramod sirf dukan sambhalega aur bahar ke kamre mein rahega. Par Pramod jitna shaitani dikhta tha, usse kahin zyada chalak nikla.

Pramod ne apna purana jhola uthaya. Usne kuch aise nishaan aur baatein yaad kar li thin jo Shobhit ki thi.

Shobhit station par intezar kar raha tha. Jab train ruki, toh bheed mein se ek shaks nikla. Shobhit use dekh kar dhang reh gaya. Pramod ne wahi kapde pehne the jo Shobhit ne use photo mein dikhaye the, wahi ghadi, wahi jootey. Woh bilkul Shobhit ka aks lag raha tha.

"Chalo 'bhaiya'... ab shehar dekhne ka waqt aa gaya hai," Pramod ne ek tirchi muskurahat ke saath kaha.

Ghar par Shalini bahut ghabrayi hui thi. Usne darr ke maare ek purani, dheet dhang ki dhaka-hua saree pehni thi taaki uska jism kam se kam dikhe.

Shobhit use lekar ghar ki dehleez par pahuncha. Shobhit ka dil dharak raha tha, par Pramod ke dimaag mein dukan ke hisaab-kitab chal rahe the.

Lekin jaise hi ghar ka darwaza khula aur Shalini ko darwaje ke pass saamne khadi hui paaya... Pramod ke saare hisaab-kitab wahi dher ho gaye.

Usne dekha ki Shobhit ki biwi koi sadharan aurat nahi thi. Shalini ki gori rangat, uske unche aur bhari ubhaar jo saree ke pallo se jhaank rahe the, aur uski gol kamar... Pramod ki aankhein phati ki phati reh gayi.

Pramod ne mann hi mann socha, "Abe saale Shobhit! Tune dukan ki baat toh ki thi, par is 'khazane' ka zikr kyun nahi kiya? Ab dukan toh baad mein... pehle is 'bholi chidiya' ko apne pinjre mein launga."

Shobhit andar aaya, aur uske thik peeche... wahi chehra.

Shalini ki cheekh nikalte-nikalte ruki. Woh dono ko dekh kar pagla gayi. Kaun Shobhit hai aur kaun Pramod, ye pehchanna namumkin tha.

Pramod (Shalini ki taraf badhte hue): "Arre... itni darri hui kyun ho 'Soham ki Maa'? Main toh tumhara apna hoon."

Uski awaaz bilkul Shobhit jaisi thi, par usme ek ajeeb si tharr-tharaahat thi jo Shalini ko andar tak kap-kapa gayi. Pramod ki nazrein seedhe Shalini ke bhari ubhaaron par jami thin jo tez saans lene ki wajah se saree ke niche phadphada rahe the.

Raat hui. Shobhit ne tay kiya tha ki woh niche hall mein soyega aur Pramod ko guest room dega. Lekin der raat, jab pura ghar so raha tha, Shalini ko apne kamre ke darwaze par aahat sunayi di.

Darwaza khula aur Shobhit (ya shayad Pramod?) andar aaya.

Shalini (ghabra kar): "Ji? Aap... aap yahan? Aapne toh kaha tha ki aap niche soyenge taaki woh (Pramod) shaq na kare."

Woh shaks muskuraya aur bina kuch bole Shalini ke kareeb baith gaya. Usne apna hath Shalini ke naram nitambon par rakha aur dhire se sarsaraya. Shalini ko laga ye uske pati hain, kyunki unka sparsh bilkul waisa hi tha.

Lekin tabhi... us shaks ne dhire se kaha, "Suno, niche wale kamre mein jo 'Shobhit' soya hai, wo thoda pareshan hai... tum usse mil kar nahi aaogi?"

Shalini ke hosh ud gaye. Usne ghabrate hue pucha, "Toh... toh aap kaun hain?"

Woh shaks hasne laga aur bola, "Asli kaun hai aur nakli kaun, ye toh ab tumhein hi pehchanna hoga Shalini ji... kyunki hum dono ne aaj ek jaise hi kapde pehne hain."

Shalini ko samajh nahi aa raha tha ki uske bistar par baitha shaks uska pati hai jo mazaak kar raha hai, ya woh shaitani Pramod hai jisne pehli hi raat uske kamre mein kadam rakh diya hai.

Bistar par baithe shaks ne ek ajeeb nazar Shalini par daali. Ab Shalini ke samne sabse bada sawal tha—woh kise apna pati maane?

Tabhi usne dekha woh shaks jise woh abhi apna pati samjh rhi thi haste huye kamre se bahar ki taraf nikal gaya, shalini sari raat roti rhi ki yeh uski kismat me kya likha hai, yuhi puri raat beet gyi, bhor hone ko hua.

Pehli raat ka woh suspenseful manjar jahan dono humshakal ghar mein maujood the.

dono humshakalon ka ek saath ghar mein rehna khatre se khaali nahi tha. Pramod aur Shobhit ne yahi tai kiya ki Shobhit agle hi din gaon nikal jayega, taaki woh wahan Pramod ban kar reh sake aur yahan Pramod 'Shobhit' ban kar dukan sambhale.

Soham college ke kisi project ke silsile mein shehar se bahar gaya hua tha aur agle din lautne wala tha. Ye Shobhit ke liye sahi mauka tha ki woh chupchap nikal jaye.

Subah ke 5 baje the. Ghar mein abhi andhera hi tha. Shobhit ne apna ek purana jhola uthaya aur kitchen mein kaam kar rahi Shalini ke paas gaya. Shalini ki aankhein raat bhar ki rone aur ghabrahat se suji hui thin. Usne wahi sadharan sooti saree pehni thi, par uske bhari jism ki tharr-tharrahat saaf dikh rahi thi.

Shobhit (dheemi awaaz mein): "Shalini, main nikal raha hoon. Jab tak Soham aaye, Pramod ko 'Soham Ke Papa' kehne ki aadat daal lena. Bas kuch dinon ki baat hai, jaise hi kaghaz ban jayenge, main wapas aa jaunga."

Shalini ne rote hue Shobhit ka hath pakad liya. "Ji... mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai. Wo aadmi... uski nazrein bilkul aap jaisi nahi hain. Wo mujhe bahut ajeeb tarah se dekhta hai."

Shobhit ne use samjhaya, "Daro mat, majboori hai. Use dukan par rehna hai, ghar mein toh tum rahogi bas woh bahar wale kamre me rahega yahi hamari shart thi haa tum dur rehna usse. Soham ke samne natak karna hoga, bas."

Shobhit pichle darwaze se nikal gaya. Ab ghar mein sirf Shalini aur Pramod bache the.

Shobhit ke jane ke baad shalini ko bahut bura lag rha tha ki wo kha kis musibat me fas gyi hai uska man toh nhi hua lekin usse pooja bhi karni thi isliye wo jaldi se naha dho kar pooja karne baith gyi.

Subah ho chuka tha, lekin aaj shalini ke chehra roj ki tarah khila nahi tha balki murjhaya hua tha.

Shalini kitchen mein chai bana rahi thi, tabhi use mehsoos hua ki koi uske bilkul peeche khada hai. Woh darr kar palat gayi. Saamne Pramod khada tha, bilkul Shobhit ka roop dhare, wahi kurta-pajama pehne jo Shobhit aksar pehenta tha.

Pramod (ek tirchi muskurahat ke saath): "Arre... Shobhit babu toh gaye. Ab tumhara 'Pati' main hoon. Chai mere liye bhi banana, par thodi kadak... jaisi tumhari ye kaya hai."

Shalini ne nazrein jhuka lin aur kapte hathon se cup pakda. "Aap... aap yahan se jaiye. Soham aata hi hoga."

Pramod (kareeb aate hue): "Soham toh kal aayega na? Aaj ka pura din aur puri raat... hum dono akele hain."

Pramod ne jaan-boojhkar apna hath counter par rakha, itna kareeb ki uski ungliyan Shalini ki naram kamar ko choo rahi thin. Shalini jhat se piche hati.

Shalini: "Pramod ji! Aap apni maryada mein rahiye. Aap yahan sirf dukan bachane aaye hain."

Pramod (haste hue): "Dukan toh bacha hi lunga, par dukan ke maalik ko thoda sukoon bhi toh chahiye na? Kal raat se dekh raha hoon... Shobhit bada bhola hai, itni garmi (heat) apne paas rakhta hai aur dukan ki chinta mein dubla hota rehta hai."

Usne aage badhkar Shalini ke bheege baalon ki ek lat ko chhua. "Itni sundar biwi ko chhod kar gaon gaya hai, toh kuch toh zimmedari mujhe nibhani padegi na?"

Shalini wahan se bhag kar apne kamre mein chali gayi aur andar se kundi laga li. Uska dil zor-zor se dhadak raha tha. Usne aaine mein khud ko dekha—uski gori rangat aur bhari-pure ubhaar jo ghabrahat mein phool rahe the, use khud darr lagne laga.

Usne socha, "Aaj raat kaise bitayegi? Shobhit ji toh chale gaye, aur ye darinda unka roop lekar mujh par nazar gade baitha hai."

Tabhi use us kaali satin nighty ki yaad aayi jo almari mein band thi. Usne socha tha ki woh Shobhit ko rijhayegi, par ab use lag raha tha ki agar Pramod ne use us haal mein dekh liya, toh woh use kacha chaba jayega.

[AARCHANA]

Shobhit ke jaane ke baad ghar mein jo sannata chhaya, wo Shalini ke liye kisi tufaan se pehle ki khamoshi jaisa tha. Suraj dhal chuka tha aur poora ghar andhere ki god mein sama raha tha. Shalini ne darr ke maare saare darwaze check kiye, par wo bhool gayi thi ki "shaitaan" ghar ke bahar nahi, ghar ke andar hi tha.

Pramod hall mein Shobhit ki aaram-kursi par pasra hua tha. Usne Shobhit ki ek purani shirt pehen rakhi thi jo uske sakht badan par thodi kasi hui thi. Usne ek bidi sulgayi aur dhuyein ke beech se kitchen mein kaam karti Shalini ko ghoorne laga.

Usne socha tha ki wo shehar aayega, dukan par kabza karega aur paise lekar nikal jayega. Par jab se usne Shalini ko dekha tha, uska dimaag ghum gaya tha.

"Abey Shobhit... tune toh heera chhupa rakha tha," Pramod ne mann hi mann socha. Usne dekha ki Shalini jhuk kar bartan rakh rahi thi, aur uske jhukne se uski bhari-puri gol kamar aur saree ke niche se jhaankta uska gora badan Pramod ki hawas ko bhadka raha tha. Usne faisla kar liya tha ki ab wo sirf dukan ka maalik nahi banega, balki is ghar ke bistar ka bhi maalik banega.

Raat ke 11 baj rahe the. Shalini ne apne kamre mein ja kar kundi laga li thi. Usne wahi purani, dheeli cotton ki nighty pehni thi, par uska gadraya hua jism usme bhi apni jagah bana raha tha. Wo bistar par leti thi, par uski aankhein chhat ko ghoor rahi thin.

Tabhi, darwaze par halki si dastak hui.

Thak... Thak...

Shalini ka dil halaq mein aa gaya. "K... Kaun hai?"

Pramod (bahar se, bilkul Shobhit ki awaaz mein): "Shalini... main hoon. Darwaza kholo, dukan ke kuch zaroori kaghazat par baat karni hai. Kal subah Soham aa jayega toh mauka nahi milega."

Shalini ne hichkichate hue kaha, "Pramod ji, aap toh Shobhit ji ki jagah aaye hain... ye sab kal subah dukan par ho sakta hai. Abhi bahut raat ho gayi hai."

Pramod: "Shalini... bahar thand hai. Aur waise bhi, main yahan 'Shobhit' ban kar aaya hoon. Agar padosiyon ne suna ki 'Shobhit' apni hi biwi ke darwaze par khada hai, toh shaq nahi hoga?"

Shalini majboor thi. Usne kaanpte hathon se kundi kholi. Jaise hi darwaza khula, Pramod andar dakhil hua aur usne turant apne piche darwaza band kar liya.

Pramod ne kamre ki light nahi jalayi, bas bahar se aa rahi halki roshni mein wo Shalini ko dekh raha tha. Shalini deewar se chipak gayi. Pramod uske itne kareeb aa gaya ki uski bidi aur sasti sharab ki boo Shalini ko mehsoos hone lagi.

Pramod (dheemi awaaz mein): "Badi khubsurat ho tum Shalini. Shobhit ne toh tumhe kisi dukan ki tijori mein band karke rakha tha. Par ab chabi mere paas hai."

Usne apna khurdura hath badhaya aur Shalini ke gore gaal ko chhua. Shalini ne chehra pher liya, par Pramod ne uska chehra zor se pakad kar apni taraf ghuma diya.

Pramod: "Darr mat... main tera 'Shobhit' hi toh hoon. Duniya ke liye bhi, aur tere liye bhi. Aaj se is kamre mein jo bhi hoga, wo tere aur mere beech rahega. Agar tune chillaane ki koshish ki, toh yaad rakhna, tere asli pati ko jail bhejna mere baayein hath ka khel hai."

Shalini ki saansein phool rahi thin. Uske unchay ubhaar us cotton ki nighty ke niche tezi se upar-niche ho rahe the, jo Pramod ki aankhon ko thandak de rahe the. Pramod ne apni nazar neeche ki aur dekha ki Shalini ki nighty thodi neeche sarak gayi thi, jahan se uski gori chatiyon ka oopri hissa saaf chamak raha tha.

Pramod: "Aaj raat... main tujhe bataunga ki 'Pati' ka asli sukh kya hota hai. Shobhit toh thaka hua rehta tha, par main... main tumhe puri raat thakne nahi dunga."

Ek dam se pura mahaul badal gaya! Shalini ki saansein itni tez thi ki uska seena dhaukani ki tarah chal raha tha. Usne jhatke se aankhein kholi aur apne aap ko bistar par baitha hua paya.

Kamre mein sannata tha. Bas AC ki halki si awaz aa rahi thi aur khidki se chand ki thodi si roshni andar aa rahi thi. Shalini ne dekha ki kamre ka darwaza andar se band tha, jaisa usne sone se pehle kiya tha.

Uski puri peeth paseene se tar-batar thi aur uska gala sookh gaya tha. Usne apne hatho se apna chehra chhuna shuru kiya—wo ehsas itna asli tha ki use abhi bhi apne gaal par Pramod ke khurdure hathon ki jalan mehsoos ho rahi thi.

"Hey bhagwan... wo khwaab tha?" Shalini ne zor se saans lete hue khud se pucha.

Usne table par rakha pani ka gilaas uthaya aur ek hi baar mein pura pee gayi.

Shalini uthi aur khidki ke paas gayi. Usne parda thoda sa hataya aur hall ki taraf dekhne ki koshish ki. Use yaad aaya ki Shobhit ji toh abhi ghar mein hi so rahe hain, kyunki unhe toh agli subah nikalna hai.

Woh dabe paon kamre se bahar nikli aur hall mein gayi. Wahan Shobhit sofe par gehri neend mein the. Unka chehra thakan aur chinta se bhara hua tha. Shalini ne unhe dekha aur uski aankhon mein aansu aa gaye.

"Kaise bataun aapko ki main kis darr se guzar rahi hoon? Aap mujhe us darinde ke bharose chhod kar ja rahe hain," usne mann hi mann socha.

Ab subah ke 4 baj chuke the. Shobhit ki aankh khuli. Usne dekha Shalini kitchen mein khadi chai bana rahi hai, par uska chehra utra hua hai.

Shobhit: "Shalini, tum itni jaldi uth gayi? So jati thodi der aur."

Shalini ne palat kar unhe dekha. "Nind nahi aayi ji. Bas darr lag raha hai."

Shobhit ne apna jhola uthaya. "Darr mat. Main ja raha hoon, aur thodi der mein Pramod station par mil jayega. Woh yahan 'Shobhit' ban kar aayega. Tum bas himmat rakhna."

Shobhit pichle darwaze se nikal gaye. Shalini wahi dehleez par baith gayi. Ab uske paas bas kuch ghanton ka waqt tha, kyunki jab agli baar darwaza khulega, toh woh shaks dikhne mein toh Shobhit hoga, par uska dimaag wahi hoga jo Shalini ne apne bhayanak khwaab mein dekha tha.

Theek 9 baje ghar ki ghanti baji. Shalini ka dil zor se dhadka. Usne darwaza khola.

Saamne wahi chehra khada tha—Shobhit ka chehra. Par usne Shobhit ki tarah saree ki tareef nahi ki, na hi thakan ki baat ki. Usne Shalini ko sar se paon tak ek aisi nazron se dekha jaise koi bhookha sher apne shikar ko dekhta hai.

Pramod (andar kadam rakhte hue): "Namaste Shalini ji... maaf kijiyega, 'Shobhit ji'. Ab se main hi is ghar ka maalik hoon."

Usne darwaza band kiya aur Shalini ke itne kareeb se guzra ki uska kandha Shalini ke bhari ubhaaron se halke se ragad gaya. Shalini thar-thar kaanpne lagi. Woh samajh gayi ki khwaab khatam ho chuka hai, aur asliyat shuru ho gayi hai.

Pramod ke dimaag mein ek pal ke liye bhi Shobhit ki dukan bachane ka khayal nahi tha. Uska poora dhyan us ghar ki malikiyat aur saamne khadi is gori-chitti, gadrayi hui aurat par tha.

Pramod ne apna jhola sofe par phenka aur bade raub se kursi par baith gaya. Shalini deewar se chipki khadi thi, usne apna pallu itne zor se kas rakha tha ki uski ungliyon ke nishaan kapde par pad rahe the.

Pramod: "Arre 'Shalini ji', ab aise darr ke kab tak khadi rahogi? Main koi bhoot thodi hoon, tumhare pati ka hi roop hoon. Chalo, jaldi se dukan ki chabi le aao, der ho rahi hai. Grahak intezar kar rahe honge."

Shalini dabe paon andar gayi aur drawer se chabi ka guchcha nikaal kar laayi. Usne koshish ki ki woh door se hi chabi thama de, par Pramod toh mauke ki talaash mein tha.

Pramod (chabi lete waqt): Jaise hi Shalini ne chabi aage badhayi, Pramod ne chabi ke saath-saath Shalini ki naram aur gori hatheli ko apne khurdure hathon mein jakad liya.

Shalini ka jism kaanp utha. Usne hath chhudane ki koshish ki, par Pramod ne pakad aur majboot kar di.

Pramod (dheemi aur bhari awaaz mein): "Hath toh bade komal hain tumhare... bilkul malai jaise. Shobhit ne dukan toh badi mehnat se banayi hai, par ghar ki is 'daulat' ko shayad dhang se sambhalna bhool gaya."

Shalini (gusse aur darr mein): "Chhodiye mujhe! Aap yahan sirf kaam ke liye aaye hain. Soham aata hi hoga."

Pramod (hanste hue): "Soham toh kal aayega. Aaj poora din main dukan par 'Shobhit' bankar raaj karunga, aur raat ko... raat ko is ghar ka 'Raja' banunga. Yaad rakhna, agar tumne mera saath nahi diya, toh main abhi dukan ke saare kaghazat jala dunga. Phir dekhte hain tumhara 'Asli Shobhit' jail se kaise bachta hai."

Usne Shalini ka hath jhatke se chhoda, par jaate-jaate uski nazrein Shalini ke unchay ubhaaron par aisi gadi thin jaise woh use nanga kar raha ho.

Pramod jab dukan pahuncha, toh usne bilkul Shobhit ki tarah acting shuru kar di. Par uske bolne ka tarika thoda badal gaya tha. Woh grahakon se thoda dheet bankar baat kar raha hua.

Usne dukan ke purane naukar se pucha, "Suno, aaj ki saari kamai ka hisaab seedhe mere paas aana chahiye. Aur haan, dukan ke locker ki dusri chabi kahan hai?"

Woh dukan ke paise dekh kar pagal ho raha tha. Usne mann hi mann plan bana liya tha ki jab tak asli Shobhit gaon mein hai, woh yahan se itni kamai nikaal lega ki shehar mein uska apna dabdaba ho jaye.

Idhar ghar mein Shalini bilkul akeli thi. Uska mann baar-baar usi showroom ki kaali satin nighty ki taraf ja raha tha. Usne socha tha ki wo Shobhit ke liye hai, par ab us ghar mein Pramod tha jo har pal uske jism ki numaish kar raha tha.

Shalini ne dressing table ke samne khade hokar khud ko dekha. Usne apna pallu thoda dhila kiya aur apne bhari-pure badan ko nihara. Use darr lag raha tha ki agar aaj raat Pramod ne zabardasti ki, toh woh kya karegi?

Tabhi usne dekha ki uski almari ke niche se ek purani diary nikli. Ye Shobhit ki nahi thi... ye Pramod ke jhole se giri thi jab woh station se aaya tha. Shalini ne darrte-darrte wo diary kholi.

Usme kuch aisa likha tha jise padhkar Shalini ke paon ke niche se zameen nikal gayi. Pramod yahan sirf dukan bachane nahi aaya tha... uske iraade kuch aur hi the.

Shalini ne kaanpte hathon se us purani, matti se sani diary ko uthaya jo Pramod ke jhole se giri thi. Usne socha tha ki isme gaon ke hisaab-kitab honge, par jaise hi usne pehla panna palta, uski rooh kaanp gayi.

Diary ke pannon par kisi gaon ki aurat ki photo chipki hui thi, aur uske neeche Pramod ne bade bhadde tarike se kuch likha tha. Shalini ne padhna shuru kiya:

"Sarla... isne bhi bahut nakhre dikhaye the. Iska pati bhi shehar gaya tha kamane. Baki Auraton ki tarah isne bhi mujhe 'bhaiya' kaha tha, par jab ek raat maine iske bistar par kadam rakha, toh iski saari sharam hawas mein badal gayi. Iske pati ko toh maine jail bhijwa diya, aur iske ghar par raaj kiya."

Shalini ke hathon se diary girte-girte bachi. Usne aage ke panne palte toh dekha ki aisi kayi auraton ke naam aur unke jism ki 'khoobiyan' Pramod ne gandi bhasha mein likhi thin. Woh sirf koi majboor humshakal nahi tha, balki ek professional Thief tha jo dusro ki masumiyat ka fayda utha kar logon ke ghar aur unki auraton par kabza kar leta tha.

Shalini samajh gayi ki Shobhit ji ko usne ek aise jaal mein phansa diya hai jahan se vapasi namumkin hai. 

Pramod ka plan sirf dukan nahi, balki Shobhit ko hamesha ke liye raaste se hatana aur Shalini ko apni rakhail banana tha.

Raat ke 9 baj rahe the. Soham abhi tak nahi aaya tha (woh agle din aane wala tha). Bahar baarish shuru ho gayi thi, bilkul waisa hi mahaul jaisa Shalini ne apne khwaab mein dekha tha.
Tabhi main darwaza zor se khula. Pramod andar dakhil hua, par aaj uski chaal mein ek ajeeb si mastani thi. Usne thodi sharab pee rakhi thi. Usne jhatke se darwaza band kiya aur kundi laga di.
Pramod (ladkhadati awaaz mein): "Shalini... kahan ho? Dekho, aaj dukan par kitni kamai hui hai. Aaj toh jashn hona chahiye."
Shalini kitchen se bahar aayi. Usne darr ke maare apna pallu sar tak odh rakha tha. Pramod ne use dekha aur ek gandi hansi hasa. Usne wahi diary table par padi dekhi.
Pramod: "Oh... toh tumne mera 'itihas' padh liya? Achha hi hua. Ab mujhe natak karne ki zaroorat nahi. Tumhe pata chal hi gaya hoga ki jo aurat ek baar mere hathon mein aa jati hai, wo phir kabhi apne pati ke paas nahi ja pati."
Woh dhire-dhire Shalini ki taraf badhne laga. Shalini piche hat-te hue dining table se takrayi.
Pramod: "Shobhit toh gaon pahunch gaya hoga, par wahan uske liye maine 'swagat' ka intezar kar rakha hai. Woh wahan se kabhi zinda nahi lautega. Ab se main hi tumhara 'asli' Shobhit hoon. Chalo, ab wo kaali nighty nikaalo jo tumne apni almari me chhupa rakkhi hai... maine dekhi thi aj subah jb tu mandir gyi thi tb."

Shalini ka badan paseene se bheeg gaya. Uski bhari-bhari chatiyan tezi se upar-niche ho rahi thin. Pramod ne aage badhkar uski saree ka pallu jhatke se khinch liya.
Pramod: "Darr mat... aaj ki raat yaadgar hogi. Agar tune thoda sa bhi shor machaya, toh Soham ko kal subah apne baap ki laash ki khabar milegi."
Shalini ki aankhon mein aansu the, par dimaag mein ek ajeeb si thandak aa gayi. Use samajh aa gaya ki ab sirf rone se kaam nahi chalega. Usne ek gehri saans li aur Pramod ki aankhon mein dekha.
Shalini (hichkichate hue): "Agar... agar main waisa karoon jaisa aap chahte hain, toh kya aap mere pati ko chhod denge?"
Pramod ke chehre par ek vijayi muskurahat aayi. Usne Shalini ki gol kamar par hath rakha aur use apne kareeb khinch liya. "Pehle khush toh karo... phir sochenge."

Shalini ko samajh aa gaya tha ki samne khada shaks koi sadharan lalachi nahi, balki ek darinda hai jo uske ghar aur izzat ko nigalne aaya hai. Apne pati ki jaan bachane ki khatir aur waqt haasil karne ke liye, usne ek khatarnak khel khelne ka faisla kiya.

Pramod hall mein baitha sharab ka gilaas hath mein liye intezar kar raha tha. Uske dimaag mein hawas ki aag jalk rahi thi. Usne socha tha ki Shalini royegi-gideygi, par jab usne nighty pehenne ki baat maani, toh Pramod ko laga ki usne is "bholi chidiya" ko puri tarah tod diya hai.

Andar kamre mein, Shalini ke hath kaanp rahe the. Usne almari ke kone se wo kaali satin nighty nikaali. Wahi nighty jo usne Aryan ke showroom mein majboori mein pehni thi aur jise wo Shobhit ke liye pehenna chahti thi.

Usne saree utari aur wo resham ka barik tukda apne jism par dala.

Kaala satin uski doodhiya rangat par bijli ki tarah chamak raha tha. Nighty ki patli doriyaan uske gore kandhon par kasi hui thin. Uske unchay aur bhari ubhaar us patle kapde ke niche apni puri shiddat se ubhar rahe the. Har saans ke saath satin ka wo kapda uski gol kamar aur bhari nitambon se chipak jata, jo uski kaya ko aur bhi zyada uttejak bana raha tha.

Shalini ne apne bheege baalon ko khula chhoda aur darrte-darrte kamre ka darwaza khola.

Jaise hi Shalini hall mein dakhil hui, Pramod ke hath se gilaas chhoot-te chhoot-te bacha. Usne kabhi nahi socha tha ki ek sadharan si dikhne wali aurat ke andar itna naram aur gadraya hua khazana chhupa hoga.
Pramod (khada hote hue): "Oye hoye... Shalini! Tune toh sach mein qayamat dha di. Shobhit saala sach mein gadha tha jo tujhe chhod kar dukan par baitha rehta tha."
Pramod ladkhadate kadmon se uski taraf badha. Shalini wahi jam gayi. Pramod ne apne gande hath badhaye aur Shalini ki naram kamar ko dono taraf se jakad liya. Satin ka kapda itna chikna tha ki uske hath phisal kar niche uske bhaari nitambon ki lachak ko mehsoos karne lage.
Pramod: "Ye jism... ye toh kisi rajkumari jaisa hai. Aaj se tu sirf meri hai. Shobhit ko bhul ja, wo toh ab tak khatam ho chuka hoga."
Shalini ne himmat jutayi aur uske seene par hath rakh kar use thoda piche dhakela. "Pehle... pehle aap bataiye ki mere pati safe hain na? Aapne diary mein jo likha tha... kya wo sach hai?"

Pramod zor se hasa. "Diary mein jo likha hai wo toh sirf trailer hai. Tera Shobhit ab gaon ke us kuyein ke paas hoga jahan mere aadmi uska intezar kar rahe hain. Par agar tu mujhe aaj 'khush' kar degi, toh main abhi phone karke unhe rok dunga."
Usne Shalini ko zor se apni taraf khincha aur uski gardan par apni naak ragadne laga. Shalini ko ghin aa rahi thi, par wo jaanti thi ki uske paas yahi ek mauka hai.
Shalini (phusphusate hue): "Toh pehle phone kijiye... main dekhna chahti hoon ki wo zinda hain."
Pramod ne josh mein aa kar apna mobile nikala aur speaker par daal kar apne gundon ko mila diya.
Gunda (dusri taraf se): "Haan bhai... kaam ho gaya. Shobhit ko humne pakad rakha hai, bas ishara do toh khatam kar dein."
Shobhit ki cheekhne ki awaaz piche se aa rahi thi— "Shalini! Mujhe bachao!"
Shalini ka dil phat gaya, par usne khud ko sambhala. Usne dekha ki Pramod nashe aur hawas mein itna dooba hai ki uska dhyan bhatak gaya hai. Tabhi Shalini ki nazar table par rakhi us bhari pital ki murti par padi.

Pramod ki shaitani hasi hall mein goonj rahi thi. Usne dekha ki Shalini apne pati ki awaaz sunkar toot chuki hai. Uska rona aur uski wo kaali satin nighty mein lipti hui thartharahat Pramod ke andar ki darindagi ko aur badhava de rahi thi.

Pramod ne phone par dahaadte hue kaha, "Oye! Abhi ruk jao. Shobhit ko kisi purani kothri mein band kardo, par jaan se mat maarna... abhi 'Memsahab' ne hamari shart maan li hai."
Phone katne ke baad usne mobile table par phenka aur Shalini ki taraf badha. Shalini ro rahi thi, uske hathon se apna chehra dhaka hua tha. Uska gora badan aur wo reshami nighty uske rone ki wajah se aur bhi zyada uttejak lag rahi thi.
Pramod ne bina kuch kahe, ek jhatke mein Shalini ko apni mazboot baahon mein utha liya. Shobhit dubla-patla aur kamzor tha, par Pramod ka sharir mehnat-mazdoori aur gundagardi se lohe jaisa sakht aur muscular tha.
Shalini ne halki si koshish ki chhudane ki, "Chhodiye... please..." par Pramod ke liye uska wazan kisi phool jaisa tha. Usne Shalini ke bhari nitambon aur peeth ko apni pakad mein jakda aur use seedhe bedroom ki taraf le gaya.

Bedroom mein pahunchte hi Pramod ne Shalini ko jhatke se bistar par patak diya. Shalini ka jism us naram gappe par uchla aur uski nighty thodi aur upar sarak gayi, jahan se uski gori aur bhari jaanghein saaf chamak rahi thin.
Pramod ne apni shirt ke button kholne shuru kiye, uski aankhon mein hawas ki laali thi. "Aaj ki raat... sirf meri hai," usne ladkhadate hue kaha.
Woh Shalini ke upar jhukne hi wala tha ki achanak uske sar mein ek zor ka chakkar aaya. Usne dukan par sasti sharab itni zyada pee li thi ki ab uska nasha dimaag par chadh raha tha. Woh bistar ke kinare baith gaya aur apna sar pakad liya.
Shalini dar ke maare kone mein dubak gayi, par usne dekha ki Pramod ki aankhein band ho rahi hain. Woh nasha jo ab tak use taqat de raha tha, ab use behoshi ki taraf khinch raha tha.
Pramod (badbadate hue): "Kal... kal subah Soham aayega... tab sabke samne tu mujhe 'Pati' kahegi... samjhi? Tab dikhaunga tujhe..."
Kehte-kehte woh wahi bistar ke ek kone par dher ho gaya. Uske kharrate poore kamre mein goonjne lage.

Shalini wahi bistar ke dusre kone par baithi rahi. Usne dekha ki uske pati ka humshakal uske bistar par leta hai. Uski saansein dhire-dhire kabu mein aayi. Usne jaldi se ek chadar uthayi aur khud ko upar tak dhak liya.
Raat bhar Shalini jaagti rahi. Usne aaine mein khud ko dekha—wo kaali nighty ab use kisi kafan jaisi lag rahi thi. Usne socha ki kal subah jab Soham aayega, toh use us darinde ke paon chhune honge, use 'Papa' kehna hoga.
Pramod ne uske jism ko abhi tak puri tarah bhoga nahi tha, par uski baahon ki wo sakhti aur bistar par patakne ka wo andaaz Shalini ke mann mein ghar kar gaya tha. Use darr tha ki kal se uski pavitrata ka har din imtihan hoga.

[AARCHANA]

Subah ki pehli kiran ke saath hi Shalini ki aankhon mein darr ki laali thi. Woh poori raat bistar ke kone mein dubki rahi, jabki Pramod uske pati ke takiye par sar rakh kar gehri neend mein kharrate leta raha.

Theek 8 baje ghar ki bell baji. Soham wapas aa gaya tha.

Shalini jhatke se uthi. Usne dekha ki Pramod abhi bhi so raha hai. Usne jaldi se apni wo kaali satin nighty utari aur almari mein phenk di. Usne ek purani saree pehni, maang mein gehra sindoor bhara aur aankhon ka rona chhupane ke liye paani se munh dhoya.

Usne darwaza khola. Samne Soham apni bag liye muskurate hue khada tha.

Soham: "Good morning, Mummy! Arre, aap abhi tak taiyar nahi hui? Papa kahan hain? Unhe dukan nahi jana?"

Shalini ka gala sookh gaya. "Woh... beta... tere Papa ki tabiyat thodi naram thi raat ko, toh abhi so rahe hain."

Tabhi piche se bhari awaaz aayi, "Kaun kehta hai tabiyat kharab hai? Main toh bilkul changa hoon!"

Pramod bedroom se bahar nikal raha tha. Usne Shobhit ka kurta pehna tha, par uske chalne ka dhang aur uski muscular chhati us kurte mein Shobhit se kahin zyada mardana lag rahi thi. Usne aakar Soham ke kandhe par hath rakha—ek waisa hath jo Shobhit ne kabhi itne zor se nahi rakha tha.

Pramod: "Aa gaya mera sher beta! Chal, mummy se bol kadak chai banaye, aaj tere baap ko dukan par bahut kaam hai."

Soham thoda hairan hua. Use apne Papa ki awaaz mein ek ajeeb si khanak aur chehre par ek nayi chamak dikhi. "Papa, aap aaj bade... 'energetic' lag rahe hain?"

Pramod ne tirchi nazar se Shalini ko dekha aur hasa. "Kyun nahi rahunga? Teri Mummy ne raat ko dhyan hi itna rakha mera."

Pramod ne nasta kiya aur dukan jane ke liye taiyar hua. Soham apne kamre mein naha raha tha. Pramod ne mauka pakar Shalini ko kitchen mein pakad liya. Usne Shalini ki kamar par piche se hath dala aur uske kaan ke paas phusphusaya.

Pramod: "Dekha? Soham ko kuch shaq nahi hua. Ab agar tum chahti ho ki tumhare asli pati ki laash ghar na aaye, toh jaisa main kahu waisa hi karna. Aaj shaam ko main jaldi aunga... aur yaad rakhna, aaj raat mujhe koi nasha nahi rok payega."

Shalini ne rote hue sar jhuka liya. Use ab apne hi ghar mein ek darinde ke sath pati-patni ka natak karna tha. Soham jab bahar aaya, toh usne dekha ki uske "Papa" uski "Mummy" ke kaafi kareeb khade hain. Use laga shayad dono ke beech pyar badh gaya hai, par wo ye nahi jaanta tha ki uski maa ek jalte hue koyla par khadi hai.

Pramod dukan pahuncha. Shobhit ke purane grahak aur dukan ke naukar sab dhang reh gaye. Aaj "Shobhit" hisaab-kitab mein sakht tha, logon se dheetayi se baat kar raha tha aur jo paise udhaar baaki the, unhe zor-zabardasti se maang raha tha.

Usne dukan ki galli (locker) se kuch bade note nikale aur apni jeb mein rakhe. Uska plan saaf tha—din bhar dukan ka paisa lootna aur raat ko ghar ki rani ko bhogna.

Pramod ne aaj dukan par apna poora raub jamaya tha. Usne Shobhit ke purane grahakon se dheetayi se paise vasool kiye aur locker se achhi khasi raqam apni jeb mein bhar li. Par uske dimaag mein dukan se zyada ghar ki wo "daulat" ghoom rahi thi jise wo kal raat nashe ki wajah se bhog nahi paya tha.

Shaam ko Soham ne bataya ki wo apne doston ke saath ek birthday party mein ja raha hai aur der se lautega. Pramod ke liye raasta bilkul saaf tha.

Pramod ghar dakhil hua, par aaj uske kadmon mein tharr-tharahat nahi, balki ek shikari wali pakad thi. Usne ek mehenga sa packet table par rakha aur Shalini ko bulaya.

Pramod: "Shalini! Bahar aao. Dekho main dukan se tumhare liye kya laya hoon."

Shalini darrte-darrte kitchen se bahar aayi. Pramod ne packet khola, usme ek gehre baingani (purple) rang ki bareek chiffon saree thi, jiska kapda itna patla tha ki hatheli par rakhte hi phisal jaye.

Shalini (hichkichate hue): "Iska kya kaam? Mere paas bahut saari saariyan hain."

Pramod (kareeb aate hue): "Wo saariyan Shobhit ki pasand thin... ye meri pasand hai. Aaj tum ye pehenkar mere liye khana parosogi. Aur yaad rakhna, iske niche wo 'kaali satin' wali cheez bhi pehen lena jo tumne chhupayi hai... mujhe pata hai wo tumhare badan par kaisi lagti hai."

Shalini ki rooh kaanp gayi. Woh samajh gayi ki Pramod ab use ek khilauna banakar nachana chahta hai.

Kuch der baad, Shalini kamre se bahar aayi. Usne wo baingani chiffon saree pehni thi. Saree itni bareek thi ki uske gore pet aur gehari naabhi saaf jhaank rahe the. Uske unchay aur bhari ubhaar us saree ke patle pallo ke niche apni puri numaish kar rahe the. Har kadam par wo chiffon uske bhaari nitambon se chipak raha tha.

Pramod hall mein baitha use ghoor raha tha. Usne apni shirt ke button khol diye the, jahan se uska muscular aur sakht seena dikh raha tha.

Pramod: "Kamaal hai... Shobhit ne tumhe chala kar kaise rakha tha? Tum toh aag ho Shalini."

Usne Shalini ka hath pakda aur use jhatke se apne upar khinch liya. Shalini uske sakht seene se takrayi. Pramod ne uski kamar par apni pakad mazboot ki aur uske kaan ke paas dhire se kaha:

"Aaj Shobhit ki jaan tumhare hathon mein hai. Agar tumne mujhe khush kar diya, toh main kal use phone par baat karne dunga. Aur agar nahi... toh Soham ko kal baap ki chita jalani padegi."

Shalini ne rote hue apni aankhein band kar lin. Usne mehsoos kiya ki Pramod ka ek hath uski saree ke pallu ko dhila kar raha hai aur dusra uske naram jism ko behrehmi se masal raha hai.

Pramod ke dimaag mein hawas aur raub ka nasha sharab se bhi zyada gehra tha. Woh sirf Shalini ka jism nahi chahta tha, woh chahta tha ki Shalini har pal ye mehsoos kare ki ab uski zindagi ka maalik Shobhit nahi, balki Pramod hai.

Dining table par khana lag chuka tha. Shalini ne wahi baingani chiffon saree pehni hui thi, jiske bareek kapde se uski gori kaya aur bhari-pure ang saaf jhaank rahe the.

Pramod kursi par bade raub se baitha tha, dono taangein phailaye hue. Shalini thar-thar kaanpte hathon se roti paros rahi thi. Jaise hi woh roti dene ke liye Pramod ke paas jhuki, uski saree ka pallu thoda sarak gaya, jisse uske unchay ubhaaron ki gehri ghaati Pramod ki nazron ke saamne aa gayi.

Pramod ne khana shuru nahi kiya. Usne Shalini ki kalai pakdi aur jhatke se use apni bagal wali kursi par baitha diya.

Pramod: "Aise khadi rehkar kya paros rahi ho? Mere paas baitho. Aaj se tum mere saath hi khaogi... aur mujhe apne hathon se khilaogi."

Shalini ki aankhon mein aansu aa gaye. "Please... Soham kabhi bhi aata hoga."

Pramod (haste hue): "Soham der se aayega, maine kaha na? Aur agar aa bhi gaya toh kya? Main uska baap hoon... aur baap apni biwi ke saath thoda 'pyar' kare toh bete ko kya aitraz?"

Usne apna ek muscular hath Shalini ki naram aur gori jaangh par rakha aur saree ke upar se hi use masalne laga. Shalini ka jism jhatke se sikud gaya.

Pramod: "Chalo, ye niwala mujhe khilao."

Shalini ne kaanpte hathon se niwala toda aur uske munh ke paas le gayi. Pramod ne niwala khaya, par saath hi Shalini ki ungliyon ko apne hothon se pakad liya aur unhe dher tak choosta raha. Uski nazrein Shalini ke chehre par thin, jo sharam aur darr se laal ho chuka tha.

Pramod (badalte hue tevar): "Suno... kal se tum mere saath dukan chalogi. Main nahi chahta ki tum pura din yahan akeli raho. Dukan par baithna, saari duniya ko pata chalna chahiye ki Shobhit ki biwi kitni sundar hai. Aur haan... kal wahi kaali satin nighty pehen kar saree pehenna... mujhe pata hona chahiye ki andar kya chhupa hai."

Shalini ne rote hue kaha, "Main dukan nahi jaungi... log kya sochenge?"

Pramod ne thali jhatke se hata di aur khada ho gaya. Usne Shalini ko baalon se pakad kar thoda piche khincha. "Log wahi sochenge jo main unhe dikhaunga. Aur agar tumne nakhre kiye... toh kal Shobhit ki ungliyaan ek lifafe mein band hokar yahan pahunch jayengi. Samjhi?"

Shalini ne sisakte hue haan mein sar hila diya. Pramod ne use wahin dining table par hi apni taraf khincha aur uske bhari seene ko behrehmi se bhenchte hue uski gardan par apne daant gada diye.

Khane ke baad Pramod ne use dho-dha kar bedroom mein jaane ka ishara kiya. Shalini jaanti thi ki aaj raat uski 'maryada' ki har deewar tutne wali hai. Pramod ne hall ki lights band kin aur ghar ka main darwaza andar se band karke kundi laga di.

Pramod ne use apni mazboot baahon mein uthaya. Is baar wo nashe mein nahi tha. Usne Shalini ko bedroom mein le ja kar bistar par litaya aur khud uske upar jhuk gaya.

"Abse har raat... main tera pati hoon. Aur tu... meri pasand ki aurat," Pramod ne uske honthon ke paas phusphusate hue kaha.

Shalini wahi patthar ki tarah leti rahi, uski aankhon se aansu beh kar takiye ko bhigo rahe the, jabki Pramod uski pavitrata ko dhang se paimaal karne ki tyari kar raha tha.

Bedroom ka darwaza band hote hi Shalini ki saansein atak gayi. Kamre mein sirf ek halka sa zero-watt ka bulb jal raha tha, jiski madhyam roshni mein Shalini ki baingani chiffon saree aur uske andar ki kaali satin nighty ek ajeeb sa nasha paida kar rahi thin.

Pramod ne apni shirt utari aur use farsh par phenk diya. Uska muscular aur sakht badan, jis par purane nishaan the, Shalini ke saamne tha. Shobhit ke jism mein jo narm-garmi thi, Pramod ke jism mein woh nahi thi—usme sirf ek janwar jaisi taqat thi.
Pramod: "Aaj koi nasha nahi hai Shalini... aaj sirf main hoon aur tumhara ye naram badan."
Usne aage badhkar Shalini ko kamar se pakda aur jhatke se bistar par gira diya. Shalini ka gadraya hua badan bistar par bikhar gaya. Uske baal takiye par phail gaye aur saree ka pallu sarak kar farsh par gir gaya. Ab Pramod ki nazron ke saamne Shalini ka wo roop tha jise dekhne ke liye wo tadap raha tha—kaali satin nighty ke upar se lipat rahi bareek chiffon saree.
Pramod uske upar jhuka aur uske dono hatho ko bistar par upar ki taraf zor se dabaya. Uska bhari wazan Shalini ke naram aur unchay ubhaaron ko masalne laga.
Pramod (phusphusate hue): "Shobhit toh bahut shareef tha... par main nahi hoon. Mujhe toh har wo cheez chahiye jo uski thi."
Usne apna chehra Shalini ki gardan mein dhasa diya aur use behrehmi se choomne laga. Shalini ki aankhon se aansu beh rahe the, par uske jism mein ek anjaani si garmi doudne lagi. Pramod ka sparsh Shobhit se bilkul alag tha—woh khurdura aur mardana tha.

Pramod ne ek hath niche le ja kar Shalini ki gori jaanghon par rakha aur saree ko upar uthane laga. Jab usne us kaali satin nighty ka resham apni hatheliyon ke niche mehsoos kiya, toh woh paagal sa ho gaya.
Pramod: "Maine kaha tha na... ye kaala rang tumhari is gori rangat par aag laga deta hai."
Usne Shalini ke bhaari nitambon ko apni muscular baahon mein jakda aur use apne aur kareeb khinch liya. Shalini ne mehsoos kiya ki Pramod ka jism lohe ki tarah garam aur sakht ho chuka hai. Woh uske jism ke har kone ko apna banana chahta tha.
Shalini ne rote hue kaha, "Please... dhire... dard ho raha hai."
Pramod hasa, ek aisi hansi jo bhediye ki hoti hai. "Dard hi toh maza hai Shalini. Aaj raat tumhein yaad rahega ki ek asli mard ka sparsh kaisa hota hai."

Pramod ne us raat Shalini ko kisi khilaune ki tarah bhoga. Woh use bar-bar palat-ta, uske bhari-pure angon ko apne hathon se masalta aur us par apna pura haq jatata. Shalini ne apni aankhein band kar li thin, woh bas Shobhit ka chehra yaad kar rahi thi taaki is zulm ko bardasht kar sake.
Pramod ki muscular pakad ne Shalini ke badan par neele nishaan chhod diye the. Har baar jab Shalini sisakti, Pramod aur bhi zyada josh mein aa jata.
Subah hone tak Pramod ne use thaka kar dher kar diya tha. Jab suraj ki pehli kiran kamre mein aayi, Shalini bistar par nangi nighty mein lipti hui thi, uski saree farsh par padi thi aur Pramod uske bagal mein ek vijeta ki tarah so raha tha.

[AARCHANA]

Subah ki roshni jab kamre mein dakhil hui, toh Shalini ka jism dard aur sharm se toot raha tha. Pramod ki woh muscular pakad aur uski behrehmi ne Shalini ke naram badan par jagah-jagah neele nishan chhod diye the. Woh bistar par adh-muri haalat mein padi thi, jabki Pramod ek gehri aur sukoon bhari neend ke baad angdai lekar utha.

Pramod ne bistar par baithte hi Shalini ke nange kandhe aur peeth par hath phera aur ek shaitani muskurahat ke saath kaha, "Uth jao 'biwi ji', aaj toh dukan par naye maalik aur malkin ki entry honi hai."

Shalini ne rote hue himmat jutayi aur bathroom ki taraf bhagi. Jab usne aaine mein khud ko dekha, toh uski gori gardan aur unchay ubhaaron par Pramod ke daanton aur ungliyon ke gehre nishaan saaf chamak rahe the. Usne jaldi se naha kar ek gehre rang ki, unche gale wali saree pehni taaki wo darindagi ke nishaan chhup sakein.

Usi waqt bahar ki ghanti baji. Soham wapas aa gaya tha.

Shalini ne darwaza khola. Soham ne dekha ki uski mummy ke chehre par ek ajeeb sa darr hai aur unki chalne ki raftaar thodi dheemi hai.

Soham: "Mummy, aap theek toh hain na? Aap thoda thaki hui lag rahi hain."

Shalini ne nazrein jhuka lin. "Haan beta... bas raat bhar thodi bechaini thi."

Tabhi Pramod peeche se dhar-dharata hua aaya. Usne Soham ke gale mein hath dala aur zor se hasa. "Arre beta, teri Mummy ab budhi ho rahi hai, thoda thak jati hai. Chal, hum dono dukan chal rahe hain, tu ghar sambhal."

Pramod, Shalini ko zabardasti dukan lekar pahuncha. Shobhit ke purane naukar aur padosi dukan wale sab dang reh gaye. Shobhit (Pramod) ne pehle kabhi Shalini ko dukan par is tarah nahi bithaya tha.

Pramod ne Shalini ko counter ki kursi par baithaya aur khud uske peeche khada ho gaya. Grahakon ke samne woh bar-bar Shalini ke kandhe par hath rakhta ya uske kaan ke paas jhuk kar baat karta.

Pramod (naukar se): "Suno, aaj se Malkin yahan baithengi. Hisaab-kitab ye dekhengi aur nishana main lagaunga."

Dukan ke beech mein, sabke samne, Pramod ne jaan-boojhkar Shalini ki kamar par hath rakha aur use thoda apni taraf khincha. Shalini ko mehsoos ho raha tha ki sabki nazrein uske bhari jism par hain, aur Pramod un nazron ka maza le raha tha.

Dopahar ke waqt, jab dukan par bheed kam thi, Pramod ke mobile par ek call aayi. Usne speaker on kiya aur use Shalini ke kaan ke paas le gaya.

Shobhit (dusri taraf se, roti hui awaaz mein): "Shalini... Shalini mujhe bachao! Ye log mujhe maar rahe hain... ye Pramod darinda hai..."

Pramod ne turant phone kaat diya aur Shalini ki taraf dekh kar ek thandi hansi hasa.

Pramod: "Suna? Agar kal tak tumne mere naam par dukan ke kaghazat nahi karwaye, toh ye awaaz hamesha ke liye band ho jayegi. Aur haan... aaj raat hum dukan par hi rukenge. Main dekhna chahta hoon ki is counter par 'pyar' karne ka maza kaisa hota hai."

Shalini ki aankhein phati ki phati reh gayi. Pramod ab sirf ghar tak mehdood nahi tha, woh dukan ki maryada ko bhi paimaal karne par utaru tha.

Pramod ki himmat ab hadd se zyada badh chuki thi. Use lag raha tha ki dukan aur Shalini dono ab uski mutthi mein hain. Dukan ke piche ek chota sa cabin tha jahan Shobhit aksar apna hisaab-kitab karta tha aur kabhi-kabhi dopahar mein aram karta tha.

Pramod ne naukar ko bahar bhej diya aur darwaze par 'Closed' ka board tang diya.

Pramod ne Shalini ka hath pakda aur use khinchte hue cabin ke andar le gaya. Cabin mein ek purana sofa aur ek badi table thi.

Pramod: "Shobhit yahan baith kar hisaab karta tha na? Aaj main yahan kuch aur karunga. Shalini, ye kaghaz lo aur is par sign karo. Aaj se dukan meri hui."

Shalini ne rote hue kaghaz dekhe. "Main sign kar dungi, par pehle unhe chhodne ka vaada kijiye."

Pramod hasa aur Shalini ke bilkul kareeb aa gaya. Usne uske unchay ubhaaron ko apni muscular chhati se daba diya. "Sign toh tum karogi hi, par pehle mujhe wo toh do jiske liye main kab se tadap raha hoon. Is dukan ki malkin ko aaj is cabin mein mere naam hona hoga."

Usne Shalini ko zor se pakda aur use dukan ki usi table par lita diya jahan Shobhit kaghaz rakhta tha. Shalini ki baingani chiffon saree table par phail gayi. Pramod ne behrehmi se uske badan ko masalna shuru kiya. Shalini ki siskiyan cabin ki deewaron se takra rahi thin.

Usi waqt Soham dukan par pahuncha. Use dukan ka darwaza band dekh kar ajeeb laga. Usne socha shayad Papa-Mummy andar hi hain. Woh piche ke raste se dukan ke andar dakhil hua.

Woh dhire-dhire cabin ki taraf badha. Cabin ka darwaza thoda sa khula tha. Soham ne jo dekha, usne uske pairon tale zameen nikaal di.

Usne dekha ki uske "Papa" (Pramod) uski Mummy ke saath wo sab kar rahe hain jo ek pati-patni band kamre mein karte hain, par wahan koi pyar nahi tha. Usne dekha ki Pramod ne Shalini ki gori jaangh par ek zor ka thappad mara aur hasne laga.

Pramod (cabin ke andar): "Bolo Shalini! Shobhit se zyada maza aa raha hai na? Us kamzor aadmi ne kabhi tumhe aise bhoga tha?"

Soham ka dimaag sunn ho gaya. Usne dekha ki uski mummy ro rahi hain par koi virodh nahi kar rahi hain. Tabhi uski nazar Pramod ki peeth par padi. Shobhit ke kandhe par ek purana chot ka nishan tha jo bachpan ka tha, par is aadmi ki peeth saaf thi... balki us par gundon wale ajeeb se nishan the.

Soham samajh gaya—Ye uska baap nahi hai.

Soham ka khoon khoul utha. Usne cabin ka darwaza zor se laat maar kar khola.

Soham: "Hatao apne gande hath meri Mummy se!"

Pramod jhatke se palta. Shalini ne jaldi se apni saree thik ki aur table se utri, uski aankhon mein darr aur sharm ka samundar tha.

Pramod (haste hue): "Arre beta... tu yahan? Dekh, teri Mummy aur main thoda 'akant' mein the. Tu bahar ja."

Soham (gusse mein kaampte hue): "Tum mere baap nahi ho! Kaun ho tum? Aur mere asli Papa kahan hain?"

Pramod ki muskurahat gayab ho gayi. Usne table par rakha ek bhari paperweight uthaya aur Soham ki taraf badha. "Tune bahut badi galti kar di Soham... ab tu bhi apne baap ke paas jayega."

Shalini beech mein aa gayi. "Nahi! Soham ko mat maarna! Soham bhag yahan se!"

Pramod ke chehre se sharifiyat ka mukhauta ab poori tarah utar chuka tha. Cabin ka mahual ab 'Shobhit' ki dukan jaisa nahi, balki kisi gunday ki maand (den) jaisa lag raha tha. Soham ki himmat dekh kar Pramod ki aankhon mein khoon utar aaya, par woh jaanta tha ki takat se zyada dimaag se khelna uske liye faydemand hoga.

Pramod ne Soham ki taraf badhte hue ek thandi hansi hasi aur apne jeb se mobile nikaal kar ek video play kiya. Usne mobile Soham ke chehre ke paas la kar rakha.

Video mein Shobhit (asli wala) ek andheri kothri mein zanjeeron se bandha tha, uske chehre par khoon tha aur wo dard se karah raha tha.

Pramod (Soham ke kaan mein): "Dekh le apne baap ko. Agar tune ek kadam bhi aage badhaya ya security officer ko phone kiya, toh mere aadmi sirf ek button dabayenge aur tere baap ka bheja deewar par chipak jayega. Samjha?"

Soham ki mutthiyan bhinchi reh gayi. Shalini ne rote hue Soham ka hath pakad liya. "Nahi Soham... mat kar kuch. Ye darinda hai, ye tere Papa ko maar dalega."

Pramod ne Shalini ki gori aur naram thodi (chin) ko zor se pakda aur Soham ke samne hi use apni taraf khincha. "Ab se is ghar aur is dukan ka naya kanoon hai. Soham, tu chupchap wahi karega jo main kahunga. Aur Shalini... tu toh jaanti hi hai ki mujhe raat mein kya chahiye."

Pramod bahut chalaak tha. Use pata tha ki agar Soham usse nafrat karta raha, toh kabhi na kabhi bagawat karega. Isliye usne Soham ko todne ke liye ek naya aur ganda raasta chuna.

Usi shaam ghar par, Pramod ne Soham ko apne paas bulaya. Usne table par mehengi sharab ki botal aur kuch nasheeli goliyan rakhi thin.

Pramod: "Dekh Soham, gussa chhoda. Tu jawan hai, tujhe zindagi ka maza lena chahiye. Tere baap ne toh tujhe hamesha kitaabon aur dukan mein phasa kar rakha. Ye le, thoda 'sukoon' chakh kar dekh."

Soham ne pehle toh mana kiya, par apne baap ki jaan aur maa ki bebasi ka gham use andar se kha raha tha. Pramod ne use zabardasti ek glass pilaya. Dhire-dhire woh nasha Soham ke sar chadhne laga.

Pramod ne dekha ki Soham ki aankhein nashe mein dhundhli ho rahi hain. Tabhi usne Shalini ko bulaya, jo kitchen mein rui ki tarah kaanp rahi thi.

Pramod: "Shalini! Idhar aao. Aaj Soham ko bhi pata chalna chahiye ki uski mummy kitni 'haseen' hai."

Shalini ne wahi baingani chiffon saree pehni thi jo Pramod dukan se laya tha. Pramod ne jaan-boojhkar Shalini ko Soham ke bilkul samne khada kiya aur uski saree ka pallu sarak kar uske kandhe se niche gira diya.

Nashe ki halat mein Soham ne pehli baar apni maa ko us nazar se dekha jo ek bete ki nahi honi chahiye thi. Usne dekha ki uski maa ki gori peeth aur unchay ubhaar us bareek saree ke niche kaise chamak rahe hain. Pramod ne Shalini ki gol kamar par hath phera aur use Soham ki taraf ishara karte hue bola:

"Dekh Soham... teri mummy ka ye roop tere baap ne hamesha chhupa kar rakha. Par main tujhe dikhaunga... main tujhe bataunga ki khubsurti kya hoti hai."

Shalini ki aankhon se aansu gir rahe the, par woh apne bete ki nashe mein doobi nazron se darr rahi thi. Pramod ne Soham ke hath mein ek aur glass pakdaya aur uske kaan mein phusphusaya, "Aaj raat jab main tere mummy ke kamre mein jaunga... toh darwaza thoda khula chhod dunga. Tu bhi dekhna ki zindagi kaise jiyi jati hai."

Pramod ek aisa shaitaan tha jo sirf jism nahi, balki rishton ki pavitrata ko bhi kuchalna chahta tha. Use pata tha ki agar usne Soham ke dimaag mein apni hi maa ke liye hawas paida kar di, toh ye parivaar hamesha ke liye uska ghulam ban jayega.

Raat ke 12 baj rahe the. Ghar mein sannata tha, par wo sannata kisi gehri sazish jaisa lag raha tha.

Soham apne kamre mein tha, par Pramod ne use jo nasheeli goliyan sharab mein milakar pilayi thin, wo uske khoon mein aag laga rahi thin. Uska dimaag sunn tha, par uski indriyan (senses) jag rahi thin. Use bar-bar apni maa ka wo baingani chiffon saree wala roop yaad aa raha tha—wo gori kamar, wo bhari-pure ang.

Tabhi uske kamre ka darwaza dhire se khula. Pramod andar aaya aur Soham ke kandhe par hath rakha.

Pramod (fusfusate hue): "Soya nahi ab tak? Chal... aaj tujhe wo dikhata hoon jo tune sapne mein bhi nahi dekha hoga. Darr mat, ye tera 'baap' tujhe zindagi ka sabse bada sabak de raha hai."

Pramod ne Soham ko sahara dekar uthaya aur use dhire-dhire Shalini ke bedroom ki taraf le gaya.

Shalini kamre mein bistar par baithi ro rahi thi. Use pata tha ki Pramod aane wala hai, par use ye nahi pata tha ki aaj wo apne saath uske bete ko bhi layega. Pramod ne darwaza poora band nahi kiya, balki ek darar (gap) chhod di taaki bahar khada Soham sab kuch saaf dekh sake.

Pramod andar gaya aur zor se bola, "Shalini! Aaj tumhare bete ko lag raha hai ki main tum par zulm karta hoon. Use dikha do ki tum mere saath kitni 'khush' ho."

Shalini ne rote hue dekha ki darwaze ke peeche Soham khada hai, uski aankhein nashe mein laal hain aur wo apni maa ko ghoor raha hai. Shalini ne apna seena dhakne ki koshish ki, par Pramod ne jhatke se uski saree ka pallu khinch kar farsh par phenk diya.

Pramod: "Nahi... aaj kuch nahi chhupega. Dekhne do use ki uski maa ka jism kitna gadraya hua aur rasila hai."

Bahar khada Soham, nashe ki halat mein, apni maa ko us haal mein dekh kar kaanp utha. Usne dekha ki uski maa sirf us kaali satin nighty mein hai, jiske patle kapde se unke unchay ubhaar tharthara rahe hain. Nashe ne Soham ki akal par parda dal diya tha. Use wo apni maa nahi, balki ek behad khubsurat aurat lag rahi thi.

Pramod ne Shalini ko piche se jakda aur uske bhari nitambon par hath pherte hue Soham ki taraf dekha aur muskura diya. Usne Shalini ki gardan par apne daant gada diye. Shalini ki ek dard bhari siski nikli, "Aaaah... Soham... bhag ja yahan se..."

Par Soham wahan se hila nahi. Usne dekha ki Pramod kaise uski maa ke naram jism ke saath khel raha hai. Uske mann mein ek taraf dukh tha, par nashe ne ek ajeeb si jalan aur hawas paida kar di thi. Use laga ki kaash wo us darinde ki jagah hota... ya shayad wo bhi us jism ko choo pata.

Pramod (darwaze ki taraf ishara karke): "Dekh Soham... dekh kaise teri mummy tadapti hai jab main unhe chhoota hoon. Kal ko tu bhi kisi ka pati banega, toh ye hunar sikh le."

Pramod ne Shalini ko bistar par patak diya aur uski nighty ki dori kholne ka natak karne laga. Soham ki saansein tez ho gayi thin. Usne apni maa ki gori jaanghein aur unki lachakti kamar ko dekhi, aur uske dimaag mein ek ganda khayal ghar kar gaya.

Shalini ne dekha ki uske bete ki nazron mein ab dukh nahi, balki wahi 'bhok' dikh rahi hai jo Pramod ki aankhon mein thi. Usne apna sar takiye mein chhupa liya.

Usi raat, rishton ki pavitrata ka qatal ho gaya. Soham apne kamre mein wapas gaya, par uske hath apne hi jism par chal rahe the aur dimaag mein uski maa ka wo nanga hota badan chapa hua tha.

Raat ke us pehar mein jab Soham apne kamre ki taraf ladkhadate hue lauta, uska dimaag us nashe aur apni maa ke us naye roop ke beech kahin phansa hua tha. Par bedroom mein asli darindagi toh ab shuru honi thi.

Soham ke jate hi Pramod ne darwaze ki kundi zor se laga di. Usne palat kar Shalini ko dekha jo bistar ke kone mein dubki hui apni nighty ko sametne ki koshish kar rahi thi. Uski aankhein rone se soojh gayi thin aur uska gora badan darr se thar-thar kaanp raha tha.

Pramod (darindagi bhari hansi ke saath): "Dekha Shalini? Tera beta ab bada ho gaya hai. Uska nasha sirf us botal mein nahi, teri is gadrayi hui kaya mein bhi utarne laga hai."

Pramod ne jhatke se Shalini ki kaali satin nighty ko upar se khincha, jisse uske kandhon ki patli doriyaan tootne ki kagar par aa gayi. Usne Shalini ko bistar par chitt (flat) leta diya aur uske dono hathon ko apne ek hi mazboot hath se sar ke upar jakad liya.

Pramod ka muscular seena Shalini ke naram aur unchay ubhaaron par kisi bhari chattan ki tarah dabav banane laga. Usne behrehmi se Shalini ke hothon ko kuchla aur uske jism ke un hisson par apne nishan chhodne laga jahan ab tak sirf Shobhit ka haq tha.

Pramod ke dimaag mein us raat sirf hawas nahi, balki ek shaitani junoon tha. Use pata tha ki Shobhit ne hamesha Shalini ko ek 'devi' ki tarah puja tha, par use kabhi ek 'aurat' ki tarah bhoga nahi tha. Shobhit ki isi kamzori ka fayda uthate hue Pramod ne us raat darindagi ki saari hadein paar kar di thin.

Usne jhatke se apni pant utari aur jab uska bada, sakht aur kaala auzaar bahar nikla, toh Shalini ki aankhein phati ki phati reh gayi thin. Shobhit ka sharir naram aur sadharan tha, par Pramod ka wo 'hathiyar' kisi kaale khanjar ki tarah bhayanak lag raha tha.

Pramod (darindagi se haste hue): "Dekh rahi ho? Shobhit ke paas toh sirf naam ka auzaar tha, asli mard toh ye hai. Chalo, isse apne munh mein lo aur iska swagat karo."

Shalini ne rote hue gardan hila di aur munh pher liya. Pramod ne uske baal pakad kar use jhatka diya aur bola, "Koi baat nahi... aaj mana kar rahi ho, par ek din tum khud ise apne hathon mein lekar sehlayogi."

Pramod ne Shalini ki kaali satin nighty ko beech se phaad diya. Shalini ka doodhiya gora badan ab poori tarah nanga tha. Pramod uske upar toot pada. Usne Shalini ke unchay aur bhari ubhaaron ko itne zor se dabaya ki uski ungliyon ke neele nishan un naram pahadon par chhap gaye. Woh unhe apne munh mein lekar behrehmi se chusne laga, jaise koi bhookha bhediya ho.

Pramod ki jeebh Shalini ki naram aur gori peeth se hoti hui niche uski gol kamar par phisalne lagi. Jab usne Shalini ki gori jaanghon ko phailaya aur uski nazuk yoni ko apne hothon se chhua, toh Shalini ka jism ek jhatke ke saath dhanush ki tarah mud gaya.

Zindagi mein pehli baar Shalini ko itna 'wild' sparsh mil raha tha. Shobhit ne kabhi uske jism ke in hisson ko is tarah nahi chhua tha. Ek taraf darr tha, par dusri taraf uski dabi hui jawani is behrehmi mein bhi ek anjana nasha mehsoos kar rahi thi. Uski saansein phoolne lagi thin aur uski aankhein band hone lagi thin.

Pramod ne ab aur intezar nahi kiya. Usne Shalini ki dono jaanghon ko apne muscular kandhon par rakha aur bina kisi narmi ke apna mota aur kaala lund ek hi jhatke mein Shalini ki nazuk yoni ke andar utaar diya.

"Aaahhhhh! Shobhit ji...!" Shalini ki ek dard bhari cheekh nikli, par Pramod ne uske munh par apna hath rakh diya.

Shalini ki yoni itni tang aur naram thi ki Pramod ko pravesh karne mein thodi mushkil hui, par usne apni poori takat jhonk di. Poori raat wo kamra 'pacch-pacch' ki gandi aur uttejak awaazon se goonjta raha. Pramod ke har ek dhakke ke saath Shalini ka bhari jism bistar par uchhal raha tha. Uske bhari ubhaar tezi se upar-niche ho rahe the.

Pramod ne use har position mein bhoga. Kabhi table par litakar, toh kabhi bistar par ghutnon ke bal khada karke. Subah tak usne Shalini ke jism ka ek-ek kona apna bana liya tha. Shalini thak kar adhmuri ho chuki thi, par uske mann mein ab ek ganda beej boya ja chuka tha—wo kaala auzaar ab uski neend ka hissa ban chuka tha.

Raat bhar Pramod ne use ek khilaune ki tarah bhoga. Kabhi wo use utha kar table par le jata, toh kabhi uski gori kamar par apne hathon ke neele nishan chhod deta. Shalini ki siskiyan us kamre ki deewaron mein dafan hokar reh gayi thin. Pramod ne use ek pal ke liye bhi chain nahi lene diya, har baar jab wo thakti, wo use Shobhit ki maut ki dhamki dekar phir se apne hawale karne par majboor kar deta.

Agli subah jab suraj ki kiran kamre mein aayi, toh manzar dil dehla dene wala tha. Poore kamre mein kapde bikhre hue the. Shalini bistar par nangi leti hui thi, uski baingani saree farsh par kisi laash ki tarah padi thi. Pramod ne naha-dho kar Shobhit ka saaf kurta pehna aur ek vijeta ki tarah bahar nikla.

Subah jab Pramod nikal gaya, tab Shalini uthi. Uska nichla hissa dard se phat raha tha. Usne jab aaine mein dekha, toh uski jaanghon aur yoni ke paas gehre laal nishan the.

Shalini ne himmat jutayi aur khud ko sameta. Usne jab aaine mein dekha, toh uski doodhiya gardan aur seene par Pramod ki darindagi ke gehre laal nishan chamak rahe the. Usne rone ki koshish ki par ab aansu bhi sookh chuke the.

Bahar dining table par Soham baitha tha. Uska sar nashe ke utarne ki wajah se phat raha tha, par uske dimaag se raat ka wo manzar nahi nikal raha tha. Tabhi Shalini kitchen se chai lekar aayi. Usne apna pallu itne zor se lapeta tha ki uski gardan tak dhaki hui thi, par uski aankhon ki sujan sab bayan kar rahi thi.

Soham ne apni maa ki taraf dekha, par jaise hi uski nazar Shalini ke bhari-pure badan par padi, use raat wali wahi 'garmi' mehsoos hui. Usne turant nazrein jhuka lin.

Pramod (table par baithte hue): "Kyun Soham? Raat ko nind toh achhi aayi na? Dekh teri Mummy aaj kitni thaki hui lag rahi hai. Kal raat maine inhe sone hi nahi diya."

Soham ne kuch nahi kaha, bas apne hoth bhinch liye.

Pramod (Soham ko behkate hue): "Soham beta, dekh Mummy ki tabiyat thodi naram hai. Inki peeth aur kandhon mein bada dard hai. Chal, aaj thoda 'beta' hone ka farz nibha. Kitchen mein kaam khatam hone de, phir apni Mummy ke kamre mein ja kar unki peeth par thoda tel mal dena. Inhe sukoon milega."

Shalini ke hath se chai ka cup chhoot-te bacha. "Nahi... iski zaroorat nahi hai..."

Pramod (ankhein tarerrte hue): "Kyun nahi hai? Beta hi toh hai. Aur waise bhi, Soham ko pata hona chahiye ki ghar ki auraton ki 'khidat' kaise ki jati hai. Soham, ja... tel ki shishi nikal, teri Mummy kamre mein tera intezar karengi."

Pramod ne Soham ki taraf dekh kar aankh maari. Soham ke dimaag mein ek taraf darr tha, par dusri taraf wo nasha jo abhi bhi uske khoon mein kahin baaki tha, use apni maa ke us naram badan ko chhune ke liye uksane laga.

Subah jab suraj ki kiran ghar mein dahi thi, tab dukan jane ke bajaye Pramod ke dimaag mein kuch aur hi pak raha tha. Usne dukan ke naukar ko phone karke bol diya ki aaj wo late aayega. Uska asli maqsad tha maa-bete ke rishte ko hamesha ke liye malin karna.

Pramod ki darindagi ab ek naye level par pahunch gayi thi. Woh sirf jism ka bhookha nahi tha, woh rishton ko bhedne ka shaukeen tha. Subah jab Soham tel ki shishi lekar kitchen ke paas khada tha, Pramod ne Shalini ko ek peela lifafa thama diya.

Shalini ne jab use khola, toh uske paon tale zameen nikal gayi. Usme jaali ke do aise kapde the jo ruyi se bhi halke the:

Niche ka kapda: Ek aisi panty jo sirf naam ki thi, itni patli ki Shalini ki gori jaanghon aur yoni ka nichla hissa saaf jhalakne wala tha.

Upar ka kapda: ek chote tukde jo sirf uski bhari aur naram chuchiyo ke nippalon ko dhak sakte the, baaki poora badan nanga rehne wala tha.

Shalini (rote hue): "Pramod ji... main ye apne bete ke samne kaise...? Mar jaungi par ye nahi pehnungi."

Pramod ne uske baal pakad kar uska chehra apni taraf ghuma diya. "Agar tune ye nahi pehna, toh tera beta aaj apne baap ki maut ka tamasha dekhega. Ja, ise pehen aur upar se ek saree lapet le... baaki main dekh lunga."

Shalini (rote hue): "Nahi... ye nahi pehen sakti main. Soham bahar khada hai. Wo mera beta hai, Pramod ji!"

Pramod ne uske baal pakad kar use deewar se chipka diya aur dheere se kaha, "Agar nahi pehna, toh kal tere bete ko apne baap ki kati hui ungliyan nashte mein milengi. Ja! Pehen ise, aur Soham se tel malwa. Main yahin baith kar dekhunga ki 'Maa' apne 'Bete' ko kaise behkati hai."

[AARCHANA]

Shalini ne rote-rote wo jaali wale kapde pehne. Uska gora badan us kaali jaali mein kisi qaid haseena ki tarah lag raha tha.

Jab usne aaine mein dekha, toh use apni hi shakal se ghin aane lagi. Woh kaali jaali uske gore badan par aag ki tarah lag rahi thi. Usne upar se ek purani, dhili saree lapet li aur bedroom mein ja kar ulti let gayi.

Pramod ne Soham ko awaaz di. "Soham! Beta, Mummy taiyar hain. Ja, unki thakan door kar de."
Soham nashe ki halat aur darr ke beech kaanpta hua andar aaya. Uske hath mein tel ki shishi thi.

Usne dekha ki uski mummy ulti leti hain. Pramod wahi kursi par baith gaya aur sharab ka gilaas hath mein le liya.

Pramod (kursi par baithte hue): "Soham, dekh teri Mummy ki peeth mein kitna dard hai. Kal raat maine inhe bilkul chain nahi lene diya. Chal, saree hata aur tel malna shuru kar."

Pramod: "Soham, saree hata... tel peeth par nahi, poore badan par lagna chahiye."

Soham ne jaise hi saree ka pallu sarakaya, uski saansein ruk gayi. Usne dekha ki uski mummy ne andar woh jaali wale kapde pehne hain. Uski mummy ki gori aur naram peeth, unki patli kamar aur saree ke niche se jhaankte unke bhari nitamb (hips) jo sirf us patli jaali mein kaid the, Soham ki nazron ke samne nange ho gaye.

Soham ne tel ki bundein apni mummy ki peeth par dali. Uske hath kaanp rahe the. Woh baar-baar khud ko samjha raha tha, "Ye meri Maa hain... ye galat hai." Par nashe ka asar aur wo gora-chitta badan use majboor kar raha tha.

Jab uski ungliyon ne pehli baar apni maa ki naram peeth aur patli kamar ko chhua, toh ek bijli ka jhatka dono ko laga. Shalini ne apna chehra takiye mein dhasa liya taaki wo apne bete se nazrein na mila sake.

Pramod (kursi se chillaya): "Kya kar raha hai mardon ki tarah tel mal! Unki jaanghon tak tel laga... dekh kitni thaki hui hain. Sharam chhod, ye sirf ek aurat hai abhi tere liye."
Dekh kitni naram aur gori jaanghein hain teri Mummy ki. Sharam mat kar, aaj ye sirf ek aurat hai. Iske badan ko mehsoos kar."

Soham ka dimaag ab nashe aur us gadraye hue jism ke beech kabu khone laga tha. Usne tel malte-malte apna hath niche sarakaya. Usne dekha ki uski maa ki wo jaali wali panty itni patli thi ki uske niche se unki gori tvacha chamak rahi thi.

Soham ka hath dhire-dhire niche sarakne laga. Jab uski ungliyon ne apni maa ki naram kamar aur unke hips ki lachak ko chhua, toh Shalini ka jism jhatke se kaanp utha.

Jab Soham ka hath galti se (ya nashe mein) uski maa ki jaanghon ke jode ke paas pahuncha, toh Shalini sisak uthi. Usne mehsoos kiya ki uske bete ka sparsh ab badal raha tha. Pramod wahan baitha ye sab dekh raha tha. Usne dukan nahi gaya taaki wo dekh sake ki kaise ek beta apni hi maa ke jism ka deewana banne lagta hai.

Shalini (sisakte hue): "Soham... beta... ruk ja..."

Pramod: "Chup! Soham, rukna mat. Dekh kaise teri mummy sisak rahi hain. Inhe maza aa raha hai. Inki jaanghon ke beech tak hath le ja."

Pramod ab aur aage badhna chahta tha. Usne dekha ki Soham ka dhyan ab sirf tel par nahi, balki apni maa ke bhari-pure badan par tha.

Soham ka dimaag ab kaam karna band kar chuka tha. Usne dekha ki uski mummy ki panty ki dori kitni barik hai. Usne apne dono hath apni maa ke bhari-pure badan par phaila diye. Shalini ne apne chehre ko takiye mein chhupa liya taaki apne bete ki nazron se bach sake, par Pramod wahan baitha is pavitra rishte ko tar-tar hote dekh shaitani hansi has raha tha.

Pramod: "Soham... Mummy ko seedha kar. Inke ubhro (breasts) par bhi tel ki zaroorat hai. Dekh kaise tarr-tarr kaanp rahi hain."

Shalini ki rooh kaanp gayi. Use laga ki ab ye pavitra rishta hamesha ke liye khatam ho jayega.

Pramod ki shaitani hasi kamre mein goonj rahi thi. Woh janta tha ki Soham ab us mod par hai jahan se wapsi namumkin hai. Nashe ki dhund aur uske saamne bikhri hui apni maa ki doodhiya kaya ne uske dimaag ko sunn kar diya tha.

Pramod ne gilaas table par patka aur dahaada, "Soham! Bahut der ho gayi peeth malte-malte. Mummy ko seedha kar. Asli thakan toh saamne hai."

Shalini ne rote hue takiye ko kas ke pakad liya. "Nahi... Soham beta... bahar ja... please..." par uski awaaz kamzori ki wajah se nikal hi nahi rahi thi. Soham, jo ab poori tarah Pramod ke mansuboon ka shikar ho chuka tha, ne kaanpte hathon se apni maa ke kandhon ko pakda aur unhe bistar par seedha (palat) kar diya.

Jaise hi Shalini seedhi hui, Soham ki saansein seene mein hi atak gayi. Usne zindagi mein kabhi apni maa ko is roop mein nahi dekha tha. Uski maa ke bhari aur mulayam gol ubhaar us barik kaali jaali ke niche tharthara rahe the. Woh jaali itni patli thi ki Shalini ki gori rangat aur unke nipple saaf jhalak rahe the.

Shalini ne sharm ke maare apni dono hatheliyon se apne seene ko dhakne ki koshish ki, par Pramod ne turant aakar uske dono hath pakad liye aur unhe bistar par upar ki taraf phaila diya.

Pramod: "Dekh Soham! Dekh apni Mummy ko. Kya kabhi socha tha ki is saree ke niche itna rasila khazana chhupa hai? Chal, ab der mat kar... tel inke ubhaaron par mal."

Soham ne tel ki shishi se kuch bundein apni maa ke naram aur unchay seene par girayi. Jab usne apni pehli ungli us mulayam aur garam jism par rakhi, toh Shalini ki ek siski nikli. Soham ka hath kaanp raha tha, par jaise hi usne us jaali ke upar se apni maa ki chuchiyo ki golai ko mehsoos kiya, uske dimaag se 'Maa' ka rishta dhundhla ho gaya.

Nashe aur hawas ne uske hatho ko raftaar de di. Woh ab tel nahi mal raha tha, balki apni maa ke gadraye hue ubhaaron ko apni mutthi mein lekar dabane laga tha.

Shalini (bilakte hue): "Soham... ye kya kar raha hai... main teri Maa hoon..."

Par Soham ki nazrein ab apni maa ki jaali wali panty aur unki gori jaanghon par thi. Usne dekha ki uski maa ka jism darr aur uttejna ke beech kaise kaanp raha hai. Pramod ne dekha ki loha garam hai, usne Soham ke kaan mein dhire se kaha:

"Dekha? Inhe bhi maza aa raha hai. Inki jaali itni patli hai ki tu iske andar hath bhi daal sakta hai. Chhoo kar dekh... teri Mummy kitni naram aur garam hain."

Soham ne ab poori tarah apna kabu kho diya tha. Usne tel ki shishi side mein rakhi aur apne dono hathon se apni maa ke bhari-pure jism ko behrehmi se masalna shuru kar diya. Shalini ki aankhein band thin aur aansu beh rahe the, par Pramod ek jeetne wali hansi has raha tha, kyunki aaj ek bete ne apni hi maa ko 'aurat' samajh kar chhua tha.

Pramod ki shaitani chaal rang la rahi thi. Kamre ka mahol itna ganda aur uttejak ho chuka tha ki pavitra rishton ki har deewar dhul chuki thi. Pramod kursi se utha aur ladkhadate kadmon se bistar ke paas aaya, uske hath mein sharab ka glass tha jise dekh kar uski aankhon ki laali aur khaufnaak lag rahi thi.

Soham ka dimaag poori tarah nashe aur hawas ke kabu mein tha. Usne Shalini ke unchay aur jaali mein qaid ubhaaron ko masalte hue apna chehra apni maa ke chehre ke kareeb laya. Jab Soham ne dekha ki uski maa ke rasile hoth darr se kaanp rahe hain, toh woh unhe choomne ke liye aage badha.

Theek usi pal, Pramod ne Soham ka kandha pakad kar use jhatke se piche khincha.

Pramod (haste hue): "Ruk ja sher bete! Itni jaldi bhi kya hai? Pehle apne baap ko dekh... seekh ki is gadraye hue jism se maza kaise nichoda jata hai. Tu bas dekh aur seekh, phir teri baari bhi aayegi."

Shalini ne rote hue apni aankhein band kar li thin. Use samajh aa gaya tha ki Shobhit ki jaan bachane ki keemat ab uski poori aatma ka sauda hai.

Pramod ne Soham ko bistar ke kone par baitha diya aur khud Shalini ke upar ek bhukhe bhediye ki tarah toot pada. Usne Soham ki nazron ke samne hi Shalini ki us barik jaali wali panty ko ek jhatke mein beech se phaad diya.

Pramod: "Dekh Soham... dekh teri Mummy ki ye gori jaanghein aur ye khazana. Shobhit ne toh ise kabhi dhang se dekha bhi nahi hoga."

Pramod ne behrehmi se Shalini ki naram kamar ko pakda aur uske bhari ubhaaron ko Soham ke samne hi apne munh mein lekar chusne laga. Shalini ki siskiyan aur rona kamre mein goonj raha tha, par Pramod ko maza aa raha tha. Woh bar-bar Soham ki taraf dekh kar ishara karta.

Pramod: "Kaisa lag raha hai Soham? Dekh kaise teri Mummy ka jism tadap raha hai. Jab main yahan dhakke lagata hoon, toh dekh ye pacchh-pacchh ki awaaz kaise aati hai."

Pramod ne apna kaala aur mota auzaar nikaala aur Soham ke samne hi Shalini ki nazuk yoni par ragadne laga. Shalini ne tadap kar apna sar patka, par Pramod ne use mazbooti se jakad rakha tha.

"Dekh Soham... ab main tere samne teri Mummy ki 'pavitrata' ko khatam karunga," Pramod ne kaha aur ek zor dar dhakke ke saath Shalini ke andar dakhil ho gaya.

Shalini ki ek dardnak cheekh nikli, par Pramod ne rukne ke bajaye apni raftaar badha di. Soham wahi baitha nashe mein dhut apni maa ke hote hue apmaan ko dekh raha tha. Uska dimaag sunn tha, par uski nazrein apni maa ke us nange aur thartharate badan se hat hi nahi rahi thin. Use dukh toh tha, par Pramod ke zehar ne uske andar ki hawas ko itna jaga diya tha ki wo ab agali 'baari' ka intezar karne laga tha.

Shalini sirf ek hi naam jap rahi thi—"Shobhit ji... mujhe maaf kar dena." Woh apne pati ko bachane ke liye us nark mein jal rahi thi jahan uska apna beta ek darinde ka saath de raha tha.

Pramod ne jab mehsoos kiya ki usne Shalini ke jism aur Soham ke dimaag, dono par poora kabza kar liya hai, toh woh ek taraf hat gaya. Woh pasine se lathpath tha aur uski aankhon mein ek shaitani vijeta ki chamak thi. Usne sharab ka bacha hua gilaas ek jhatke mein khatam kiya aur Soham ki taraf dekh kar ek gandi muskurahat di.

Pramod: "Beta Soham... dekh, tere 'baap' ne toh khet jot diya hai. Par abhi teri Mummy bahut garam hai, inka dard abhi kam nahi hua. Ja... ab tu inki 'takleef' door kar. Seekha na abhi tune ki kaise maza liya jata hai?"
Shalini ka poora jism thar-thar kaanp raha tha. Uski jaali wali nighty phat kar taar-taar ho chuki thi aur uske gore badan par Pramod ki darindagi ke neele nishaan saaf chamak rahe the. Usne jab dekha ki uska jawan beta bistar ki taraf badh raha hai, toh uski rooh fanaa ho gayi.
Shalini (gale se nikalte dard ke saath): "Soham... nahi... mat aa... main teri Maa hoon beta... mar jaungi main..."

Soham par nashe aur Pramod ke zehar ka asar itna gehra tha ki use apni maa ki cheekh sunayi hi nahi di. Use toh bas apni maa ka wo gadraya hua badan, unki bhari-pure ubhaar aur wo gori jaanghein dikh rahi thin jo abhi-abhi Pramod ne nangi ki thin.
Soham dhire-dhire apni maa ke upar jhuka. Shalini ne apni aankhein kas ke band kar lin aur apne hathon se apna chehra dhak liya. Use laga ki shayad ye ek bura sapna hai, par jab usne apne jawan bete ke garam hathon ko apni naram kamar aur bhari nitambon par mehsoos kiya, toh uske pairon tale zameen nikal gayi.
Pramod wahi kursi par baith kar dobara sharab bharne laga. "Haan Soham... dabakar pakad... dekh kitni naram hai teri Mummy. Inke hothon ko chakh... dekh Shobhit ne inhe kaise pyaasa rakha tha."

Soham ne jab apni maa ke rasile hothon par apna munh rakha, toh Shalini ki ek siskari nikli jo dard aur ghin ka mishran thi. Soham ke hathon ki pakad badhne lagi. Woh apni maa ke unchay ubhaaron ko itne zor se bhenchne laga jaise wo koi khilauna ho.
Shalini ne mehsoos kiya ki uska beta ab wahi sab kar raha hai jo abhi thodi der pehle Pramod ne kiya tha. Rishton ki pavitrata us kamre mein kisi kone mein sisak rahi thi. Shalini majboor thi, kyunki use pata tha ki agar usne Soham ko dhakka diya, toh bahar baitha Pramod turant Shobhit ki maut ka hukm de dega.
Pramod ne chillakar kaha, "Chalo Soham! Ab der mat kar... apne baap ka rasta pakad aur is haseena ko poori tarah apna bana le!"
Soham ne apni maa ki gori jaanghon ko phailaya...

[AARCHANA]

Pramod ki shaitani hasi kamre ki deewaron se takra kar goonj rahi thi. Usne dekha ki kaise usne ek hansate-khelte parivaar ko nark ke darwaze par khada kar diya hai. Soham, jo ab poori tarah nashe aur Pramod ke diye huye 'sabak' ke vash mein tha, apni maa ke jism ki garmi se itna behak gaya tha ki use sahi-galat ka hosh nahi raha.

Soham ne apni maa ki gori aur naram jaanghon ko itni behrehmi se phailaya ki Shalini ke muh se ek dardnak aah nikal gayi. Shalini ne apne chehre ko takiye mein daphnate hue rona shuru kiya. Use samajh aa gaya tha ki aaj uski mamta ka qatal usi ke bete ke hathon hone wala hai.

Pramod (kursi se chillaya): "Dekh kya raha hai Soham? Aaj is rasile badan par tera bhi utna hi haq hai jitna mera. Ghus ja is khazane mein aur mita de apni garmi!"

Soham ne jab apni maa ki nazuk yoni ke kareeb apna jism laya, toh Shalini ka poora sharir ek jhatke ke saath dhanush ki tarah akad gaya. Usne mehsoos kiya ki uske jawan bete ka garam auzaar uski jaanghon se takra raha hai.

Shalini (tut-ti hui awaaz mein): "Soham... mat kar... main teri Maa hoon... beta, ye paap tujhe narak mein le jayega..."

Par Soham ke kaan sunn ho chuke the. Usne apni maa ke bhari-pure ubhaaron ko dono hathon se kas ke pakda aur ek hi zor dar jhatke ke saath apni maa ki pavitra kaya ko bhed diya.

Shalini ki ek aisi cheekh nikli jo shayad us kamre se bahar nahi gayi, par usne uske dil ke hazaron tukde kar diye. Ek bete ka apni hi maa ke jism mein pravesh karna... ye ek aisa paap tha jise dekh kar shayad khuda bhi ro padta.

Pramod wahan baitha sharab pita raha aur is gande manzar ka maza leta raha. Woh baar-baar Soham ko thapki deta, "Haan Soham! Aur zor se... dekh kaise teri Mummy ki gori jaanghein thar-thar kaanp rahi hain. Ye 'pacch-pacch' ki awaaz hi asli sangeet hai!"

Soham ab ek janwar ban chuka tha. Woh apni maa ke upar kisi bhediye ki tarah toot pada. Shalini ki yoni, jo pehle hi Pramod ki darindagi se zakhmi thi, ab apne hi bete ke dhakkon se tadap uthi. Har dhakke ke saath Shalini ki aatma marti rahi. Usne apni aankhein itni kas ke band kar lin ki unse ab aansu bhi nikalna band ho gaye the.

Raat bhar us bedroom mein paap ka ye nanga naach chalta raha. Pramod ne bari-bari se Soham ke saath milkar Shalini ko bhoga. Shalini ek zinda laash ki tarah bistar par padi rahi, kabhi Pramod ke muscular jism ke niche dabi rahi, toh kabhi apne hi bete ke hathon ka khilauna bani rahi.

Subah hone tak, ghar ki pavitrata poori tarah raakh ho chuki thi. Soham thak kar wahi apni maa ke pairon ke paas dher ho gaya, jabki Pramod ek shaitani vijeta ki tarah khada tha.

Pramod (Shalini ke kaan mein): "Ab dekha? Ab hum teeno ka rishta hamesha ke liye jud gaya hai. Ab agar tune security officer ko bulaya ya Shobhit ka naam liya, toh Soham bhi narak jayega. Tu ab meri aur apne bete ki 'rakhail' ban kar rahegi."

Shalini ne rote hue apne zakhmi jism ko chadar se dhaka. Usne dekha ki uske bete ke chehre par ab pashchataap nahi, balki ek gandi shanti thi... jaise use is paap ka maza aa gaya ho.

Subah ki roshni jab kamre mein dakhil hui, toh manzar kisi qabrastan jaisa tha jahan rishton ki mayyat bichi hui thi. Shalini nangi nighty ke chithron mein lipti, bistar ke kone mein ek zinda laash ki tarah padi thi. Uske gore badan par jagah-jagah Pramod aur Soham ke hathon ke neele nishaan aur darindagi ki chhap saaf dikh rahi thi.

Soham, jo raat bhar apni hi maa ke jism se khelta raha tha, dhire-dhire hosh mein aane laga. Nasha ab utar chuka tha, par uske dimaag mein ab pashchataap (remorse) ki jagah ek ajeeb sa ganda sukoon baaki tha.

Soham ne aankhein kholi aur apne samne apni maa ka adha nanga aur thartharata jism dekha. Pehle toh uske dimaag mein ek jhatka laga ki usne ye kya kar diya, par jaise hi uski nazar Shalini ki gori jaanghon aur unke bhari ubhaaron par padi, uske khoon mein wahi gandi garmi dobara doudne lagi.

Pramod, jo pehle hi naha-dho kar taiyar tha, darwaze par khada होकर ye sab dekh raha tha. Woh shaitani dimaag wala jaanta tha ki Soham ab is swaad ka aadi ho chuka hai.

Pramod (haste hue): "Kya hua Soham? Subah-subah phir se 'bhook' lag gayi? Dekh teri Mummy abhi bhi garam hai. Raat bhar hum dono ne inka jo haal kiya hai, usse inki jawani aur nikal aayi hai."

Soham ne ek baar Shalini ke rote hue chehre ko dekha, par uski nazrein turant sarak kar uski maa ki patli kamar aur unki yoni ke paas bikhre nishanon par tik gayi. Usne apni maa ki taraf hath badhaya. Shalini ne darr kar piche hatne ki koshish ki.

Shalini (sisakte hue): "Soham... beta... ab toh hosh mein aa ja... dekh main teri Maa hoon... wo paap raat ke saath khatam kyun nahi hua?"

Par Soham ne kuch nahi kaha. Usne apni maa ka hath jhatakne ke bajaye, unki gori kalai ko zor se pakad liya. Uske chehre par ab wo masoomiyat nahi thi. Usne dhire se Shalini ke gore kandhe par apna munh rakha aur wahan behrehmi se kaat liya.

Soham (khuun-khwaar awaaz mein): "Papa sahi kehte the Mummy... aap bahut khubsurat ho. Raat jo maza aaya, wo maine kabhi mehsoos nahi kiya tha."

Shalini ki rooh kaanp gayi. Uska apna beta ab Pramod ki bhasha bol raha tha. Soham ne dobara apni maa ko bistar par patka aur unke bhari-pure seene ko masalne laga.

Pramod ne aakar Soham ke kandhe par hath rakha. "Bas-bas beta! Abhi dukan bhi jana hai. Aaj dukan par bhi maza karenge. Shalini, utho! Aaj tum wahi jaali wali saree pehnogi aur dukan ke cabin mein hum teeno ka 'hisaab' hoga."

Pramod ne Soham ki taraf dekh kar ek gandi aankh maari. "Soham, aaj dukan par tu dekhega ki teri Mummy grahakon ke samne kaise shareef banti hain, aur piche cabin mein tere aur mere hathon kaise pighalti hain."

Shalini ab samajh gayi thi ki Shobhit ko bachane ke chakkar mein usne ek darinde ke saath-saath apne bete ko bhi shaitaan bana diya hai. Woh uthi aur ladkhadate kadmon se bathroom ki taraf gayi, jabki piche se Soham uske hawa mein thirakte nitambon ko hawas bhari nazron se ghoorta raha.

Dukan ka mahual aaj bada ajeeb tha. Shobhit ki purani aur pratishthit dukan mein aaj ek aisi gandagi ghulne wali thi jiski deewaron ne kabhi kalpana bhi nahi ki thi. Pramod ne dukan ke main counter par 'Closed' ka board toh nahi tanga, par apne khaas wafadar naukar ko bahar pehra dene ke liye khada kar diya.

Shalini ne wahi baingani chiffon saree pehni thi, par uske niche wahi jaali wale shaitani kapde the jo Pramod ne use diye the. Uski aankhein rone se laal thin aur jism par har jagah raat ki darindagi ke nishaan the.

Pramod dukan ke andar cabin mein ek badi kursi par baitha tha, haath mein cigarette thi. Soham uske bagal mein khada tha, uski nazrein apni maa ke gadraye hue badan par tikee thin. Nashe ka asar ab ek zehreli hawas mein badal chuka tha.

Pramod: "Soham, dekh dukan par grahak aa rahe hain. Sab teri Mummy ko 'Malkin' keh kar salaam kar rahe hain. Par inhein pata toh chale ki ye 'Malkin' andar se kaisi hai."

Pramod ne ek gehsh dhuaan chhoda aur Soham ki taraf ishara kiya. "Soham, ja... apni Mummy ka pallu gira de. Aaj main dekhna chahta hoon ki is cabin ki roshni mein inka gora badan kaisa chamakta hai."

Soham dhire se apni maa ke paas gaya. Shalini ne darr kar apna pallu apne seene se kas ke chipka liya. "Nahi Soham... bahar naukar hai... koi bhi aa sakta hai... beta, itna mat giro."

Par Soham ne apni maa ki ek na suni. Usne jhatke se Shalini ki kalai pakdi aur dusre hath se unki saree ka pallu khinch kar niche gira diya. Pallu girte hi Shalini ki bhari aur mulayam chuchiyan sirf us patli kaali jaali mein qaid hokar reh gayi thin. Cabin ki tez light mein unka doodhiya gora badan aur jaali ke niche se jhaankte nipples saaf dikh rahe the.

Soham (apni maa ke kaan mein): "Mummy, aap dukan par zyada khubsurat lagti ho. Dekho, Papa (Pramod) kaise khush ho rahe hain."

Pramod ne kursi se uthkar Shalini ko piche se jakad liya. Usne Shalini ki naram kamar par hath pherte hue Soham ko uksaya.

Pramod: "Soham, sirf pallu girane se kya hoga? Is jaali ke upar se inke ubhro ko masal. Dekh, bahar log saree maang rahe hain aur andar malkin khud saree utar rahi hain."

Soham ne himmat ki aur apni maa ke naram aur garam seene par dono hath rakh diye. Usne unhe itne zor se dabaya ki Shalini ki ek siskari cabin se bahar naukar ke kaanon tak pahunch gayi. Naukar thithak gaya, par Pramod ki dehshat se wo andar nahi aaya.

Shalini ke aansu uski jaali wali nighty par gir rahe the. Use mehsoos ho raha tha ki uska beta ab poori tarah Pramod ka chela ban chuka hai. Soham ne tel ki wahi shishi nikali jo wo ghar se laya tha aur cabin ki table par apni maa ko jhuka kar unki gori jaanghon par malna shuru kiya.

Pramod ne dekha ki Soham poori tarah pagal ho chuka hai. Usne Soham ka hath pakda aur use apni maa ki jaali wali panty ke andar dalne ka ishara kiya.

Pramod: "Soham, aaj dukan par hi 'hisaab' poora hoga. Aaj tu dekhega ki teri Mummy ki yoni mein kitna ras hai."

Usi waqt, bahar se kisi ne zor se darwaza khatkhataya. "Saheb! Woh dukan ke asli kaghazat lekar vakeel aaya hai!"

Pramod ke chehre par ek shaitani chamak aayi. Usne Shalini ke baal pakad kar use uthaya. "Suna? Aaj dukan mere naam hogi, aur badle mein main tujhe aur tere bete ko ek 'tohfa' dunga."

Pramod ke liye dukan ke kaghazat par sign karwana sirf ek karobar nahi, balki Shalini ki aatma ko poori tarah kuchalne ka ek zariya tha. Vakeel ke jane ke baad, dukan ke andar ka sannata aur bhi bhari ho gaya tha. Pramod ne cabin ka darwaza andar se lock kiya aur aakar apni us purani kursi par baith gaya.

Pramod ne Soham ki taraf dekh kar ishara kiya. Soham, jo ab tak apni maa ke gore badan ko dekh kar tadap raha tha, turant Shalini ke kareeb pahuncha.

Pramod: "Soham, ye kaghazat toh mere naam ho gaye, par abhi tak is dukan ki 'Malkin' ne hamein dhang se 'party' nahi di. Dekh toh sahi, ye kitni shareef ban kar khadi hain, jaise raat ko kuch hua hi na ho."

Pramod ne apni sharab ki botal se ek lamba ghoont bhara. "Soham, inki saree ab cabin ke farsh ki shobha badhayegi. Ek-ek karke... dhire-dhire... mujhe har parat (layer) utarti hui dekhni hai."

Soham ne Shalini ke kareeb aakar unke gore kandhe par hath rakha. Shalini thar-thar kaanp rahi thi. Soham ne dhire se saree ke pallu ko, jo abhi sirf atka hua tha, poori tarah niche gira diya. Usne apni maa ki naram kamar ke paas saree ki pinu (tucks) ko ek-ek karke nikaalna shuru kiya.

Shalini ne rote hue Soham ka hath pakadne ki koshish ki. "Soham... beta... mat kar... koi bhi dekh lega..."

Soham (behakti hui awaaz mein): "Koi nahi dekhega Mummy... aur dekh bhi le toh kya? Aaj se ye dukan Papa ki hai... aur aap hamari."

Soham ne dhire-dhire saree ko Shalini ke bhari nitambon se niche sarakaya. Jaise-jaise kapda niche gir raha tha, Shalini ki doodhiya jaanghein aur unka jaali mein qaid badan roshni mein chamakne laga. Jab saree poori tarah farsh par gir gayi, toh Shalini sirf us kaali barik jaali wali nighty aur panty mein reh gayi, jo Pramod ne use pehnayi thi.

Pramod ne kursi se uthkar Shalini ke bilkul kareeb aakar khada ho gaya. Usne apni ungliyon se Shalini ke unchay ubhaaron par lagi us barik jaali ko sehlaya.

Pramod: "Soham, dekh... is jaali ke niche se teri Mummy ka badan kaise gulabi ho raha hai. Inhe sharm aa rahi hai, ya shayad ye garam ho rahi hain."

Pramod ne Shalini ke hothon par apni ungli rakhi aur unhe masalne laga. "Soham, aaj tu inki peeth par tel nahi malega. Aaj tu inke ubhro par tel dalega aur apne munh se use chatte hue saaf karega. Main dekhna chahta hoon ki ek beta apni maa ka 'doodh' kaise peeta hai."

Soham ne tel ki shishi kholi aur kuch bundein apni maa ke naram aur garam seene par gira din. Shalini ne tadap kar apni aankhein band kar lin. Soham ne apna chehra apni maa ke bhari-pure ubhaaron mein dhasa diya. Woh jaali itni patli thi ki Soham ko apni maa ki tvacha ka narm ehsaas saaf mil raha tha.

Pramod ne piche se Shalini ki gol kamar ko apne muscular hathon mein jakad liya aur use table ki taraf jhuka diya. Shalini ka gora badan ab poori tarah Soham aur Pramod ke beech sandvich ban chuka tha.

Pramod: "Haste hue bolo Shalini... bolo ki tumhe apne bete ka ye sparsh maza de raha hai. Bolo, warna Shobhit ka gala abhi dab jayega."

Shalini ne rote hue, toot-ti awaaz mein kaha, "Haa... maza... aa raha hai..."

Soham ne jab ye suna, toh uska bacha-kucha kabu bhi toot gaya. Usne apni maa ki jaali wali panty ko niche sarakaya aur unki gori jaanghon ke beech apna hath dal diya. Pramod wahan khada ho kar Soham ka haath pakad kar use rasta dikhane laga, "Haan Soham... wahan... jahan sabse zyada garmi hai... wahan ungli dalo..."

Dukan ke us band cabin mein, jahan kabhi Shobhit imandari se baithta tha, aaj wahan uska beta apni hi maa ke jism ka ras chakne ke liye utaru tha, aur Pramod is sharm-saar nazaare ka director bana baitha tha.

[AARCHANA]

Pramod ne dekha ki Soham ab poori tarah uske rang mein rang chuka hai. Usne ek shaitani chal chali aur Soham ke kaan mein dhire se fusa-fusaya, "Beta, jab tak tu ise 'Mummy' kahega, tere hath kaanpte rahenge. Ise us nazar se dekh jise dekhne ke liye tu raat bhar tadpa hai. Ye tere baap ki di hui ek 'rakhail' hai... ek aisi aurat jiska jism sirf hamari bhook mitane ke liye hai."

Soham ne apni maa ke zakhmi aur rote hue chehre ko dekha. Nashe aur hawas ne uske dimaag ke us kone ko mita diya tha jahan mamta basti thi. Usne Shalini ke bhari ubhaaron ko itni zor se bhencha ki Shalini ke munh se ek dardnak siskari nikli.

Soham (khuun-khwaar awaaz mein): "Sahi keh rahe hain Papa... ye meri mummy nahi hai. Ye toh ek zinda-zinda jism hai. Aaj se tu meri 'rakhail' hai Shalini... bol, tujhe mere hathon se maza aa raha hai na?"

Shalini ka dil phat gaya. Uska apna beta, jise usne god mein khilaya tha, aaj use uske naam se pukar raha tha aur use ek vaishya jaisi zillat de raha tha. Pramod ne Shalini ko table par poori tarah lita diya aur uski gori jaanghon ko Soham ke samne phailate hue kaha:

"Toh suno 'rakhail' ji, aaj tumhara ye jawan beta tumhein batayega ki asli mardangi kya hoti hai. Soham! Shuru ho ja, dikha de ise ki Shobhit kitna kamzor tha."

Soham ne ab poori tarah apna kabu kho diya tha. Usne apni maa ki us kaali jaali wali panty ko ek jhatke mein phaad kar phenk diya. Shalini ka sabse nishiddh (forbidden) hissa ab cabin ki tez roshni mein nanga tha. Soham ne wahan apna hath rakha aur behrehmi se masalna shuru kiya.

Soham: "Bol 'rakhail'! Bol ki tere bete ka hath kaisa lag raha hai? Kya Shobhit ne kabhi tujhe aise chhua tha?"

Shalini sirf ro rahi thi, uska sar table se takra raha tha. Pramod ne piche se aakar Shalini ke hothon ko apne munh mein bhar liya taaki uski cheekhein bahar na jayein. Usne Soham ka hath pakda aur use rasta dikhaya. Soham ne apna sakht aur garam auzaar apni hi maa ki nazuk yoni ke muhane par rakha.

Pramod ne Soham ki peeth par hath rakha aur zor se dhakka diya. "Ghus ja Soham! Aaj is 'rakhail' ko teri taqat ka pata chalna chahiye!"

Ek bhayanak dhakke ke saath Soham apni maa ke andar dakhil ho gaya. Shalini ki aankhein dard aur sharm se phat gayi thin. Uska beta uske upar chadha hua tha, uske bhari seene ko masal raha tha aur use 'rakhail' pukar raha tha. Pramod wahi khada hokar muskurate hue is nazaare ko dekh raha tha aur kabhi-kabhi Shalini ki gori peeth par thappad maar kar use aur tadpata.

Pramod: "Shaabaash Soham! Dekh kaise teri 'rakhail' thar-thar kaanp rahi hai. Ye pacch-pacch ki awaaz hi bata rahi hai ki aaj dukan par asli karobar shuru hua hai."

Raat ke us andhere bedroom se shuru hua ye safar aaj dukan ke is cabin mein rishton ki raakh ban chuka tha. Shalini ab samajh chuki thi ki wo ab kabhi 'Maa' nahi ban payegi, wo sirf ek khilauna ban kar reh gayi thi—ek apne 'baap' ke liye aur ek apne hi 'bete' ke liye.

Pramod ki darindagi ab ek naye level par pahunch gayi thi. Use sirf jism ka maza nahi chahiye tha, use Shalini ki aatma ko itna todna tha ki wo kabhi dobara sir na utha sake. Usne dekha ki Soham poori tarah 'rakhail-rakhail' chillate hue apni maa ke jism par toot pada hai, toh usne cabin mein rakha ek bada aaina (mirror) uthaya aur use table ke bilkul samne set kar diya.

Pramod ne Shalini ke baalon ko piche se zor se khincha taaki uska chehra aaine ki taraf ho jaye.

Pramod: "Aankhein kholo Shalini! Dekho is aaine mein... dekho ki tumhari ye gori kaya kaise tumhare apne bete ke hathon masli ja rahi hai. Dekho ki kaise tumhare unchay aur naram ubhaar Soham ki mutthiyon mein qaid hain."

Shalini ne rote hue aankhein band karni chahi, par Pramod ne uski palkon ko apne hathon se pakad liya. Shalini ne aaine mein dekha—uska beta, uska apna khoon, uske upar chadha hua tha. Usne dekha ki uski baingani saree farsh par kisi mitti ki tarah padi hai aur wo khud sirf un kaali jaali ke dhagon mein lipti hui hai jo uske jism ki numaish kar rahe the.

Soham ne jab aaine mein apni maa ka nanga aur lacharta badan dekha, toh uski hawas aur badh gayi. Usne Shalini ki gori jaanghon ko aur phailaya aur unke beech apni jeebh se wahi ganda khel shuru kiya jo usne Pramod ko karte dekha tha.

Soham (haampte hue): "Mummy... nahi, 'Rakhail'... dekho aaine mein... tumhara ye badan kitna rasila hai. Dekho kaise tum mere liye tadap rahi ho."

Pramod ne tabhi ek ganda kaam kiya. Usne dukan mein bikne wala ek reshami kapda uthaya aur use Shalini ke munh mein thuns diya taaki uski cheekhein dab jayein. Phir usne Soham ko hataya aur khud Shalini ke piche khada ho gaya.

Pramod ne Soham ka hath pakda aur use Shalini ke hothon ke paas le gaya. "Soham, aaj tu iska 'beta' nahi, iska 'maalik' hai. Iske munh mein apna hath dalo aur ise batao ki iska kaam sirf hamein khush karna hai."

Ab cabin mein ek bhayanak nazaara tha. Pramod piche se Shalini ki yoni mein behrehmi se dhakke laga raha tha, aur Soham samne se uske bhari seene ko masalte hue uske munh ke saath khel raha pha.

Shalini ki aankhein aaine mein khud ko is haal mein dekh kar pathra gayi thin. Usne dekha ki uski gori tvacha par uske bete ke hathon ke laal nishaan pad rahe the. Pramod ne har dhakke ke saath Shalini ki kamar par zor se thappad mara, jiski awaaz cabin mein 'chatak-chatak' karke goonj rahi thi.

Pramod: "Bolo Soham... kya maza aa raha hai? Kya dukan ke kaghazon se zyada keemti ye jism nahi hai?"

Soham ne apni maa ki jaali wali nighty ko poori tarah phaad kar alag kar diya. Ab Shalini poori tarah nangi thi, ek taraf usaka beta aur dusri taraf wo darinda. Rishton ka shamshaan ab poori tarah tayaar tha.

Pramod ki shaitaniyat ab saari hadein paar kar chuki thi. Use maza tab aata tha jab khatra aur zillat dono ek saath hon. Bahar dukan mein naukar ne bell bajayi, jiska matlab tha ki koi bada grahak aaya hai.

Pramod ke chehre par ek ajeeb si chamak aayi. Usne Soham ki taraf dekha jo apni maa ke gore badan par buri tarah jhuka hua tha.

Pramod: "Soham! Bahar grahak hai. Chal, aaj ek naya khel khelte hain. Is 'rakhail' ko counter ke niche chhupa dete hain. Main upar baith kar sauda karunga, aur tu niche baith kar apni is maa-rakhail ke sath wo karega jo tu kab se karna chahta hai."

Shalini ne rote hue gardan hilayi, "Nahi... please... koi dekh lega... Shobhit ji ki izzat mitti mein mil jayegi."

Par Pramod ne uski ek na suni. Usne Shalini ke baal pakde aur use ghasit-te hue cabin se bahar counter ke piche le gaya. Wahan ek choti si jagah thi jahan aksar dukan ka purana maal rakha jata tha. Pramod ne Shalini ko wahan nanga ghusne par majboor kiya.

Pramod upar kursi par baith gaya. Soham chupchap counter ke niche Shalini ke saath dubak gaya. Shalini poori tarah nangi thi, uske bhari ubhaar aur gori jaanghein Soham ke bilkul samne thin.

Bahar se ek purana grahak andar aaya. "Shobhit bhai! Arre aaj aap bade khush lag rahe hain. Bhabhi ji nahi dikhin?"

Pramod ne ek shaitani hansi hasi. "Bhabhi ji... woh toh bas yahin kahin 'niche' hain, thoda hisaab dekh rahi hain."

Niche, Soham ne dekha ki uski maa darr ke maare kaanp rahi hain. Usne iska fayda uthaya. Usne Shalini ke naram hothon par apna hath rakha taaki woh cheekh na sake. Dusre hath se usne apni maa ki jaanghon ko dhire-dhire phailana shuru kiya.

Jab upar Pramod grahak ko saman bech raha tha, niche Soham ne apni maa ke bhari-pure seene ko apne munh mein bhar liya. Shalini ki saansein phoolne lagi thin. Use upar grahak ki awaaz sunayi de rahi thi aur niche apne bete ka garam sparsh mehsoos ho raha tha.

Pramod ne jaan-boojhkar apne pair niche kiye aur Shalini ki gori kamar par halki thokar maari. Ye ek ishara tha Soham ke liye. Soham ne ab aur der nahi ki. Usne us tang jagah mein hi apni maa ke rasile badan mein apna auzaar dakhil kar diya.

Shalini ne apni aankhein kas ke band kar lin. Upar grahak keh raha tha, "Shobhit bhai, dukan mein kuch 'pacch-pacch' ki awaaz aa rahi hai, kya koi pipe leak hai?"

Pramod ne zor se thap-thapayi aur bola, "Nahi-nahi, woh toh bas naya maal fit ho raha hai."

Niche, Soham har dhakke ke saath apni maa ke kaan mein phusphusaya, "Malkin... maza aa raha hai na? Dekho upar duniya khadi hai aur niche tum apne bete ke sath nangi narak dekh rahi ho."

Shalini ki aatma har dhakke ke saath mar rahi thi. Woh itne kareeb thin ki grahak ke jooton ki awaaz unhe sunayi de rahi thi, aur wahi nange badan wo apne bete ke niche kisi rakhail ki tarah pish rahi thi.

Pramod ki darindagi ab ek aise naye aur ghinoune mod par thi jahan se sharam aur maryada ka koi rasta wapas nahi jata tha. Grahak ke jate hi Pramod ne counter par ek zor ka mukka mara aur ek shaitani hansi hasa.

Pramod: "Soham! Bahar aa ja aur apni is 'rakhail' ko bhi bahar nikal. Aaj is dukan ke wafadar naukar, Ramu, ko bhi toh pata chale ki uski 'Malkin' ki asliyat kya hai."

Shalini, jo counter ke niche nangi aur apne bete ke dhakkon se adhmuri ho chuki thi, ne rote hue gidgidana shuru kiya. "Nahi Pramod ji... Ramu purana naukar hai... woh mujhe maa ki tarah manta hai... itni zillat mat do..."

Pramod ne ek na suni. Usne Shalini ke gore paon pakde aur use counter ke niche se ghasit-te hue beech dukan mein laya. Shalini poori tarah nangi thi, uske bhari ubhaar aur gori jaanghon par Soham ke hathon ke laal nishaan saaf chamak rahe the.

Pramod ne zor se awaaz di, "Ramu! Zara andar aa, ek zaroori kaam hai!"

Ramu andar aaya aur usne jo dekha, usse uske hathon se paani ka gilaas chhoot gaya. Uske samne uski 'Malkin' nangi farsh par padi thi, aur Soham—jo kabhi uska chota beta tha—woh bina kapdon ke apni maa ke bilkul kareeb khada tha.

Pramod: "Kyun Ramu? Dekh raha hai? Ye hai teri wo pavitra malkin. Raat bhar isne aur Soham ne jo maza liya hai, wo tere samne hai. Chal, aaj tujhe ek mauka deta hoon... iske gore badan par thoda tel mal de, dekh bechari kitni thak gayi hai."

Shalini ne sharm ke maare apna chehra farsh par ragad liya. Ramu kaanp raha tha, par Pramod ne apni jeb se ek tamancha nikaala aur uske sar par rakh diya.

Pramod: "Agar tu ne iske bhari-pure seene par hath nahi rakha, toh agli goli tere sar mein hogi. Soham, tu Ramu ki madad kar... dikha ise ki teri mummy kaise pighalti hai."

Soham ne piche se apni maa ki gori kamar pakdi aur use ghutnon ke bal khada kar diya. Ramu ke kaanpte hathon ne jab Shalini ke naram aur garam ubhaaron ko chhua, toh Shalini ki ek dardnak siskari nikli.

Soham (haste hue): "Dekho Ramu kaka... kitni mulayam hai ye. Aaj se ye is dukan ki malkin nahi, hum sabki 'rakhail' hai. Tum bhi inke rasile badan ka maza lo."

Pramod ne wahi kursi par baith kar sharab ka ek aur ghoont bhara. Woh dekh raha tha ki kaise ek beta khud khada hokar apni maa ko dusre mardon ke hawale kar raha hai. Shalini ki aankhon mein ab aansu bhi khatam ho chuke the. Usne dekha ki uska beta ab uske hothon ko nahi, balki uski zillat ko choom raha tha.

Pramod ne apne mobile ka camera on kiya aur video call lagai. Dusri taraf, ek andhere kamre mein zanjeeron se bandha hua Shobhit, jo kai dino se bhookha-pyaasa tha, ne thartharate hathon se screen ki taraf dekha. Uska dil dharakna band ho gaya jab usne apni dukan ka wo cabin dekha.

Pramod (haste hue): "Dekh Shobhit! Tu wahan baitha apni maut ka intezar kar raha hai, aur yahan dekh teri 'Sati-Savitri' patni kaise mard badal rahi hai. Aur sabse bada surprise toh dekh... tera apna khoon, tera laadla Soham!"

Shobhit ne screen par dekha aur uski rooh kaanp gayi. Uski patni, Shalini, jisne kabhi uske samne parda nahi hataya tha, aaj poori tarah nangi, ghutnon ke bal dukan ke farsh par thi. Uske gora badan darindagi ke nishaanon se bhara tha. Usne dekha ki Ramu naukar uske bhari ubhaaron ko masal raha hai, aur Soham... uska apna beta, piche se apni maa ki gori kamar pakad kar shaitani hasi has raha hai.

Shobhit (bilakte hue): "Nahi... Shalini! Soham! Ye kya ho raha hai? Pramod, kutte... mar de mujhe, par mere bete ko is paap mein mat ghasit!"

Pramod ne phone Shalini ke chehre ke bilkul kareeb laya. Shalini ne rote hue apni aankhein band kar lin, par Pramod ne uske baal pakad kar uska chehra aage kiya.

Pramod: "Bol Shalini! Apne pati ko bata ki tumhara jawan beta tumhein kaise khush karta hai. Bata ise ki Soham ka sparsh tumhein kaisa lag raha hai."

Soham ne jaan-boojhkar apni maa ke hothon par apna munh rakha aur Shobhit ke samne hi unhe behrehmi se choomne laga. Shobhit screen par apni patni aur bete ko is gande milan mein dekh kar apne sar ko deewar se marne laga.

Soham (phone ki taraf dekh kar): "Papa... aap toh budhe ho gaye the. Mummy ko ab meri zaroorat hai. Dekho, inka rasila jism ab mere liye tadapta hai. Aaj se ye sirf apki patni nahi, meri 'rakhail' hai."

Pramod ne ab phone Ramu ki taraf ghuma diya, jo ab tak darr raha tha par ab hawas mein andha ho chuka tha. Shobhit ne dekha ki uska wafadar naukar uski patni ki gori jaanghon ke beech apna hath dal raha hai.

Pramod: "Dekh Shobhit, ye hai teri aukat! Teri patni, teri dukan, tera beta... sab mera hai. Aur dekh, teri patni ab mana bhi nahi kar rahi."

Shalini ne rote-rote sirf itna kaha, "Shobhit ji... mujhe maaf kar do... main majboor hoon..."

Pramod ne Soham ko ishara kiya. Soham ne video call ke samne hi apni maa ko table par jhukaya aur unke bhari-pure seene ko masalte hue unke andar dakhil ho gaya. Shobhit ki cheekh us andhere kamre mein goonji aur wo wahi behosh hokar gir pada, par Pramod ne phone nahi kata. Woh chahta tha ki jab Shobhit ko hosh aaye, wo is gande manzar ka ek-ek pal dobara dekhe.

Pramod ki shaitaniyat ab har had ko paar kar chuki thi. Usne dukan ke piche wale ek purane store room ko ek gande bedroom mein badal diya tha, jahan sirf ek bada bistar aur deewar par bade-bade aaine lage the. Usne Shobhit ko behoshi ki halat mein wahin ek kone mein zanjeeron se bandh diya tha taaki hosh aate hi woh apne parivaar ki tabahi apni aankhon se dekh sake.Raat ke sannate mein Pramod ne Soham aur Shalini ko us kamre mein dhaka de diya. Shalini ne wahi phaati hui jaali wali nighty pehni thi, jiske niche se uska doodhiya gora badan saaf jhalak raha tha. Soham ke chehre par ab pashchataap ka koi nishaan nahi tha; uski nazron mein wahi bhook thi jo Pramod ne uske andar jagayi thi.

Pramod (kursi par baithte hue): "Aaj se tum dono alag-alag nahi rahoge. Ek hi bistar, ek hi chadar... aur ek hi khel. Soham, apni 'rakhail' ko bistar par le ja. Aaj main dekhna chahta hoon ki tu ise kitna 'pyar' karta hai."

Shalini ne rote hue bistar ke kone mein dubakne ki koshish ki. "Pramod ji, bhagwan ke liye... Shobhit ji ke samne toh ye paap mat karwao... wo mar jayenge."

Tabhi Shobhit ko hosh aaya. Usne zanjeeron ko jhatka diya aur jab usne dekha ki uska jawan beta apni maa ki naram kamar pakad kar use bistar ke beech mein khinch raha hai, toh uski rooh kanp gayi.

Shobhit (fati hui awaaz mein): "Soham! Beta, ruk ja... ye teri Maa hai! Shalini, ise roko!"

Par Soham ne apne baap ki taraf ek gandi nazar dali aur bola, "Papa, aap ne toh ise sirf pooja hai, maine ise 'mehsoos' kiya hai. Dekho, inka ye gora badan sirf mere liye bana hai."

Soham ne Shalini ko bistar par chitt (flat) leta diya aur unke upar chad gaya. Usne apni maa ke bhari-pure seene ko behrehmi se masalna shuru kiya. Shalini ki siskariyan Shobhit ke kaanon mein hathode ki tarah lag rahi thin. Pramod wahan baitha sharab pita raha aur har uttejak pal ka maza leta raha.

Pramod ne Soham ko uksaya, "Soham, inki jaanghon ko itna phailao ki Shobhit ko saaf dikhe ki uski patni ab teri hai. Inke hothon ko itni zor se chumo ki inka khoon nikal aaye."

Soham ne wahi kiya. Usne Shalini ki gori jaanghon ko apne kandhon par rakha aur Shobhit ki aankhon ke samne hi apni maa ki nazuk yoni mein behrehmi se pravesh kiya.

'Pacch-pacch' ki awaaz aur Shalini ki dard bhari cheekhein kamre mein goonjne lagin. Shobhit apni zanjeerein todne ki koshish kar raha tha, uska chehra rone se laal ho gaya tha, par wo bebas tha. Usne dekha ki kaise uski patni ka bhari jism uske bete ke dhakkon se uchhal raha hai.

Shalini ne jab aaine mein dekha ki uska pati ye sab dekh raha hai, toh usne apni aankhein band kar lin. Par Soham ne uski thodi (chin) pakad kar use forced kiya, "Dekho Mummy... dekho Papa ki taraf... unhe bhi toh pata chale ki unka beta kitna jawan ho gaya hai."

Pramod ne bistar ke paas aakar Shalini ke gore seene par thappad maara aur bola, "Aaj se ye kamra tumhara narak hai. Yahan har raat yahi hoga... aur Shobhit har raat dekhega ki kaise uski 'Sati' patni apne hi bete ki 'rakhail' banti hai."

Pramod ki darindagi ab apni hadon ko laangh kar ek aise paap ki taraf badh rahi thi, jise sunkar hi kisi ki rooh kaanp jaye. Use ab sirf jism nahi, balki Shobhit ki aatma ka poora vinaash chahiye tha.

Pramod ne Shobhit ki taraf dekha, jo zanjeeron mein jakda hua apni patni aur bete ko us gande milan mein dekh kar sisak raha tha. Pramod ne ek shaitani ishara Soham ko kiya.

Pramod: "Soham, ab ye bistar aur ye kamra bahut chota lag raha hai. Bahar dukan ke piche wale baade (yard) mein humare do shikari kutte (German Shepherds) bhuke baithe hain. Chal, apni is 'rakhail' ko wahan lekar chal. Aaj ye unke samne nangi hogi aur tu unke samne iska ras chakhega."

Shobhit ne cheekhte hue kaha, "Nahi Pramod! Itna gira hua janwar mat ban! Wo teri bhabhi jaisi hai... Soham, apni maa ko bacha le beta!"

Par Soham, jiske sar par hawas aur Pramod ka nasha sawar tha, ne apni maa ke gore baal pakde aur unhe bistar se niche ghasit liya. Shalini ki kaali jaali wali nighty farsh par ragadne se aur bhi phat gayi, jisse uski gori peeth aur nitamb nange ho gaye.

Pramod unhe dukan ke piche wale baade mein le gaya. Wahan andhera tha, bas ek purani bulb ki roshni thi. Do bhayanak kutte zanjeeron se bandhe hue bhonk rahe the. Pramod ne Shalini ko ek khambe se baandh diya, uske dono hath upar karke. Ab Shalini ka poora nanga badan kutton aur Soham ke samne numayish ke liye taiyar tha.

Pramod: "Dekh Soham, in kutton ki aankhon mein bhi wahi bhook hai jo tere andar hai. Soham, ab inke samne apni maa ki gori jaanghon ko phailao aur unhe dikhao ki unki malkin kitni rasili hai."

Soham ne wahi kiya. Usne Shalini ki naram kamar ko pakda aur unke bhari ubhaaron ko kutton ke bhonkne ki awaaz ke saath taal milakar masalna shuru kiya. Shalini darr aur sharm se adhmuri ho gayi thi. Usne dekha ki kaise uske bete ne use janwarom ke samne ek 'maal' bana kar khada kar diya hai.

Pramod ne kutton ki zanjeerein thodi dheeli kar din taaki wo Shalini ke bilkul kareeb pahunch sakein. Kutton ne Shalini ke gore paon aur jaanghon ko sunghna shuru kiya. Shalini darr ke maare cheekh uthi, par Soham ne turant unke hothon ko apne munh mein bhar liya.

Soham (haampte hue): "Daro mat 'rakhail'... ye bhi tumhare is haseen jism ke deewane hain. Dekho, tumhari yoni kaise darr se thar-thar kaanp rahi hai."

Pramod ne piche se aakar Shalini ki nangi peeth par koda (whip) mara aur chilaya, "Soham! Ab der mat kar... in kutton ke samne hi apni maa ki pavitrata ko raakh kar de!"

Soham ne wahi khambe se bandhi hui apni maa ke andar behrehmi se apna auzaar dakhil kar diya. Shobhit andar kamre se unki cheekhein aur kutton ke bhonkne ki awaazein sun raha tha. Use samajh aa gaya tha ki uska parivaar ab janwarom se bhi badd-tar ho chuka hai.

Pramod ki darindagi ab apni charam seema par thi. Woh Shalini ko ek aurat se niche girakar ek janwar ki satah par lana chahta tha. Baade (yard) mein kutton ka bhonkna aur Shalini ki siskiyan milkar ek khaufnak manzar paida kar rahi thin.

Pramod ne zameen par rakha kutton ka ek ganda lohe ka bartan uthaya, jisme kachha maans aur bacha-kucha khana pada tha. Usne use Shalini ke nange paon ke paas patak diya.

Pramod (shaitani hasi ke saath): "Bahut nakhre dikhaye hain tumne is dukan ki 'Malkin' bankar. Aaj se tumhari pehchan yehi hai. Soham! Apni is rakhail ko niche jhukne par majboor kar. Ise bata ki aaj se iska naseeb yahi ganda bartan hai."

Shalini ne rote hue gardan hilayi, "Nahi... Pramod ji... itni giravat... main ek maa hoon... Soham beta, mujhe bacha le!"

Par Soham, jo ab poori tarah Pramod ka ghulam ban chuka tha, ne apni maa ke gore baal pakde aur unhe jhatke se niche ki taraf jhukaya. Shalini ka nanga aur gora badan kutton ki tarah zameen par jhukne laga. Uske bhari aur naram ubhaar us gande bartan se takrane lage.

Soham (be-rehami se): "Papa sahi keh rahe hain. Tumhe jo chahiye, woh ab sirf is bartan mein milega. Chalo, kutton ki tarah ise chato!"

Soham ne apni maa ki gori kamar par apna pair rakha aur unka sar bartan ki taraf dhaka. Shalini ki aankhon se aansu gir kar us kutton ke khane mein mil rahe the. Majbooran, Shobhit ki jaan bachane ki aakhiri umeed mein, usne apna munh us bartan mein dala.

Pramod ne ye sab dekhte hue dobara phone on kiya aur Shobhit ko dikhaya. Shobhit andar se sirf cheekh raha tha, uski awaaz baith chuki thi. Usne dekha ki uski patni, jo kabhi dukan ki aan-baan thi, aaj nangi hokar kutton ke bartan mein munh maar rahi hai, aur uska beta uski nangi peeth par hath pherte hue use uksa raha hai.

Pramod ne dekha ki Shalini ab poori tarah toot chuki hai. Usne kutton ki zanjeerein itni dheeli kar din ki woh Shalini ke gore aur nange badan ko chaatne lage. Shalini darr aur ghin se kaanp rahi thi, par Soham piche se unki gori jaanghon ko pakad kar unhe hilne bhi nahi de raha tha.

Pramod: "Soham, dekh... kutte bhi samajhte hain ki ye ab inke barabar hai. Chal, ab isi halat mein, kutton ke samne, is rakhail ki garmi mita!"

Soham ne wahi gande farsh par apni maa ko kutton ki tarah ghutnon aur hathon ke bal kiya (doggy style) aur behrehmi se unpar toot pada. 'Pacch-pacch' ki awaazon aur kutton ke gurrane ke beech, Shalini ki insaaniyat poori tarah dafan ho gayi. Woh ab sirf ek zinda jism thi, jiska istemal uska beta aur Pramod kisi bhi had tak kar sakte the.

[AARCHANA]

Kai mahine beet chuke the us store room aur dukan ke cabin ki darindagi ko. Shalini, jo kabhi ek shareef malkin thi, ab poori tarah badal chuki thi.

Rozana ki us hawas aur zillat ne Shalini ke jism mein gehre badlav la diye the. Uska gora badan ab pehle se zyada gadraya hua aur rasila ho gaya tha. Pramod aur Soham ki roz ki darindagi ne uske ubhaaron aur nitambon ko aur bhi bhari aur sakht bana diya tha.

Lekin badlav sirf jism mein nahi, uske dimaag mein bhi tha. Woh ab har waqt roti nahi thi; uski aankhon mein ek ajeeb si khamoshi aur gehri shaitaniyat ne jagah le li thi. Kabhi-kabhi toh wo khud Soham ko apni gori jaanghon ke paas bulati, jaise wo is nark ki aadi ho chuki ho. Pramod ko lag raha tha ki usne Shalini ko poori tarah tod diya hai, par Shalini ke andar kuch aur hi pak raha tha.

Usi dopahar, jab Pramod dukan ke kaghazat dekh raha tha aur Soham cabin mein Shalini ke bhari-pure jism ke saath khel raha tha, tabhi ek khabar aayi jisne sabke hosh uda diye.

Pramod ka ek gunda haampte hue andar aaya. "Saheb... anarth ho gaya! Shobhit... Shobhit wo purani godam se bhaag nikla hai! Usne mauka dekhte hi guard par hamla kiya aur jungle ke raaste gayab ho gaya."

Ye sunte hi Soham ke hath Shalini ki naram kamar par thithak gaye. Pramod ke chehre se rang ud gaya. Use pata tha ki agar Shobhit ne security officer ya apne purane doston ko sab bata diya, toh uska khel khatam ho jayega.

Lekin sabse ajeeb reaction Shalini ka tha. Shobhit ke bach nikalne ki khabar sunkar woh royi nahi, balki usne aaine mein apni nangi kaya ko dekha aur dhire se muskurayi. Usne apni phati hui jaali wali nighty ko thik kiya aur Pramod ki taraf dekha.

Shalini (ek thandi awaaz mein): "Toh... mere pati wapas aa rahe hain? Pramod ji, ab maza aayega. Dekhte hain wo apni is 'badli hui' patni aur apne is 'jawan' bete ko dekh kar kya karte hain."

Pramod gusse mein dahada, "Chup kar! Soham, ise andar band kar! Humein nikalna hoga isse pehle ki Shobhit koi hungama kare."

Par Shalini ab darr nahi rahi thi. Usne dekha ki Soham bhi ab darr raha hai. Woh jaanti thi ki ab khel palatne wala hai.

Pramod aur Soham ki darindagi unhi par bhari padne wali thi. Shalini ne pichle kuch mahino mein sirf zillat nahi jheli thi, balki usne Pramod ke saare raaz, uske gande dhandhe aur uske bank accounts ki jankari chupke se ikatthi kar li thi.

Usne samajh liya tha ki Shobhit ke saath uski purani zindagi ab kabhi wapas nahi aa sakti, kyunki uske apne bete ne uski aatma ko zakhmi kiya tha.

Shobhit ke bhagne ki khabar ne Pramod ko pareshan kar diya tha, lekin Shalini ne isi mauke ka faayda uthaya. Usne Pramod ko apne bhari aur naram jism ke jaal mein phansaya aur use ek aakhiri baar sharab pilayi, jisme usne pehle se hi behoshi ki dawa mila di thi.

Jab Pramod behosh hua, toh Soham wahan aaya. Use laga ki uski maa ab bhi wahi purani 'rakhail' hai.

Soham: "Mummy, Papa ko kya hua? Chalo ab hum..."

Shalini (zor se tamancha marte hue): "Chup kar! Aaj se main teri 'Mummy' nahi hoon, aur na hi tu mera beta hai. Tu ne apni maa ki ijjat ka sauda kiya tha, ab tu apni tabahi dekh."

Shalini ne Pramod ke saare paise aur dukan ke asli kaghazat apne kabze mein kar liye. Usne Shobhit ko ek gupt message bheja tha ki wo dukan par na aaye, balki shehar ke bahar mile.

Lekin Shalini ka irada kuch aur tha. Woh ab kisi ki patni ya kisi ki maa ban kar nahi jeena chahti thi. Usne apni wo baingani saree aur jaali wale kapde wahi dukan ke beechon-beech jala diye. Usne dukan ki tijori se saara cash nikala aur ek naya huliya ikhtiyar kiya.

Jab Shobhit aur security officer dukan par pahunche, toh wahan sirf bediyon mein bandha hua Pramod aur rote hue Soham mile. Shalini wahan se ja chuki thi.

Usne Shobhit ke liye ek chithi chhodi thi:

"Shobhit ji, aapne mujhe bachane ke liye apni jaan daav par lagayi, par jis patni ko aap dhoond rahe hain, wo us raat store room mein hi mar gayi thi. Main ab wo aurat nahi rahi. Soham ko uske paap ki saza mil chuki hai—wo ab sari umar apni maa ki cheekhein yaad karega. Mujhe mat dhoondna, main apni ek nayi duniya basane ja rahi hoon jahan koi mard mujhe meri marzi ke bina chhoo nahi sakega."

Shalini shehar se dur ek anjaan jagah pahunchi. Usne apne bhari badan aur apni khubsurati ko ab apni kamzori nahi, apni taqat banaya. Usne ek naya business shuru kiya aur apni nayi pehchan banayi. Woh ab kisi ki majboor 'rakhail' nahi thi, balki ek aisi azad aurat thi jisne apne ateet ki raakh se ek naya jahan khada kiya tha.

Pramod aur Soham ko unke paapon ki saza jail ki salakhon ke piche mili, jahan har raat unhe Shalini ki khofnaak muskurahat yaad aati rahi.

[AARCHANA]

Shalini ki purani duniya raakh ho chuki thi. Shehar mein sabne yahi maan liya ki Shalini ne Shobhit aur Soham ke gham mein khudkushi kar li hai. Bechaara Shobhit, jo mahino tak gundon ki darindagi jhelta raha, wo apni patni aur bete ki is halat ka sadma bardasht nahi kar paya aur usne dam tod diya. Soham ka kya hua, ye kisi ko nahi pata tha, par Shalini ki nazar mein wo usi din mar gaya tha jab usne use 'rakhail' pukara tha.

Ab wo bholi-bhali Shalini nahi rahi jo saree ka pallu sambhalti thi. Naye shehar mein usne apna naam badal kar 'Shailja' rakh liya tha. Usne apne bhari aur rasile badan ko ab qaid nahi kiya, balki use apni taqat banaya. Uska pehnawa ab ekdum modern aur bold ho gaya tha—short dresses, deep necklines aur ek aisi be-parwah muskurahat jo kisi bhi mard ko ghutno par le aaye.

Usne Pramod se loote hue paison se ek bada 'Fashion & Lifestyle' ka karobar khada kiya. Ab wo kisi mard ke aage jukti nahi thi, balki mard uske ek ishare par naachte the. Uske andar ki 'besharmi' ab uski dhaal ban gayi thi.

Is nayi zindagi mein uski sabse badi taqat thi uski beti, Sonali. Sonali ko poora sach toh nahi pata tha, par use itna zaroor maloom tha ki uske pita aur bhai kisi gehri saazish ka shikar hue hain aur uski maa ne akele ladkar use ek nayi zindagi di hai.

Sonali ab jawan ho rahi thi aur bilkul apni maa ki tarah khubsurat aur narm badan ki malika thi. Magar apni maa ki purani halat ke ulat, Sonali bahut tez aur hoshiyar thi. Wo apni maa ke karobar ko sambhalti aur har mard ki gandi nazar ko Shalini tak pahunchne se pehle hi rok deti. Lekin usse kha pta tha ki ab uski maa khud hi ek shikari ban chuki hai ek pakki khiladi.

Shehar ke sabse posh ilake mein sthit Shailja (Shalini) ka mansion aaj roshniyon se nahaaya hua tha. Kabhi dukan ke cabin mein ghutne wali Shalini ab shehar ki sabse badi business tycoon 'Shailja' ban chuki thi. Safal karobar, badi gaadiyan aur naukar-chaakaron ki founj uske kadmon mein thi.

anyhow story is great

[AARCHANA]

Shehar ke sabse unche corporate tower ke top floor par Shailja ka office tha. Charon taraf kanch ki deewaron se poora shehar dikhta tha. Shailja ab ek aisi powerhouse woman thi jise dekh kar log samman aur darr dono mehsoos karte the. Uska pehnawa ab uski naye soch ka aaina tha—mehenge designer suits, bold cuts aur ek aisi personality jo kisi ko bhi prabhavit kar de.

Sonali, jo ab apni maa ki business partner thi, office mein dakhil hui. Usne ek stylish blazer aur trousers pehna tha, uske hath mein naye fashion show ka blueprint tha.

Sonali ne bade utsah ke saath apne tablet par ek naya blueprint khola aur use Shailja ki badi kanch wali table par slide kiya. Us par bade-bade aksharon mein likha tha: "The Gulmohar Grand Collaboration".

Sonali: "Mom, bhool jaiye un chote-mote showrooms ko. Maine shehar ke sabse pratishthit aur aalishan 'Gulmohar Grand Hotel' ke maalik se baat ki hai. Wo chahte hain ki unke hotel ki poori staff uniform, unke mega-suites ke interior fabrics aur wahan hone wale international fashion weeks ka zimma humara brand uthaye."

Shailja ki aankhein chamak uthin. Gulmohar Grand sirf ek hotel nahi tha, wo raeesi aur shaan-o-shaukat ka naya adda tha. Is merger ka matlab tha—Shailja aur Sonali ke brand ka naam seedha international level par pahunch jana.

Shailja (blueprint ko dekhte hue): "Gulmohar Grand... ye waqayi bohot bada hai Sonali. Wahan ke maalik, Mr. Vardhan, bohot chuni hui cheezein pasand karte hain. Kya tumne designs taiyar kiye hain?"

Sonali ne muskura kar kuch samples dikhaye. "Haan Mom. Maine is collection ka naam rakha hai 'Royal Aura'. Hum wahi puraani bholi-bhali soch nahi rakhenge. Designs bold honge, modern honge, par unme wahi 'Shailja' wala classy touch hoga. Staff ki uniforms bhi aisi hongi ki log dekhte reh jayein."

Shailja ne apni beti ki parakh ki tareef ki. Use garv tha ki Sonali ab sirf ek designer nahi, balki ek tez dimaag business woman ban gayi hai.

Shailja: "Theek hai Sonali. Kal subah humari meeting hai unke saath. Main chahti hoon ki jab hum Gulmohar Grand ke boardroom mein kadam rakhein, toh unhe samajh aa jaye ki wo shehar ki do sabse taqatwar auraton se mil rahe hain. Humari dressing, humara lehja... sab kuch uncompromised hona chahiye."

Maa aur beti ne milkar der raat tak meeting ki taiyari ki. Unke aalishan mansion ke study room mein sirf coffee ki khushbu aur naye designs ki charcha thi. Ab purane ateet ka koi darr nahi tha.

Sonali ne Shailja ke kandhe par hath rakha. "Mom, aapne mujhe hamesha sikhaya hai ki jo hota hai acche ke liye hota hai. Aaj hum yahan hain, kyunki humne kabhi haar nahi maani. Gulmohar Grand humari nayi pehchan hoga."

Shailja ne apni beti ka hath thama. "Sahi kaha beta. Kal ek naya itihaas likha jayega."

Gulmohar Grand Hotel ke bade-bade sunehre darwaze jab Shailja (Shalini) aur Sonali ke liye khule, toh wahan ka waqt jaise thithak gaya. Unki kaali chamchamati Maybach se jab Shailja ne apna pehla pair bahar nikala, toh wahan khade har mard ki saansein atak gayin.

Shailja ne aaj ek midnight blue velvet ki body-con dress pehni thi, jiska gala itna gehra tha ki uske bhari aur gore ubhaaron ki ghaati saaf jhalak rahi thi. Dress uske gadraye hue badan par itni kas kar chipki thi ki uske har curve—uske patli kamar se lekar uske bhari nitambon tak—ka nazaara kisi ko bhi pagal karne ke liye kaafi tha.

Uske piche Sonali utri, jo ek trendy mini-skirt aur blazer mein kaafi hot aur professional lag rahi thi. Maa-beti ki ye jodi jab hotel ke lobby se guzri, toh wahan ki fiza mein unke mehenge perfume aur ek ajeeb si sexual energy ghul gayi.

Boardroom mein Gulmohar Grand ke maalik, Mr. Vardhan, aur unke kuch khaas log intezar kar rahe the. Vardhan ek robila mard tha, par jaise hi Shailja ne kamre mein kadam rakha, uski nazrein Shailja ke chehre se hatkar uske ubharto hue badan par tikee reh gayin.

Shailja ne kursi par baithte waqt jaan-boojhkar apni ek taang dusri par rakhi (cross-legged), jisse uski dress thodi aur upar sarak gayi aur uski chikni gori jaanghon ka nazaara boardroom ki table ke niche chamakne laga.

Vardhan (behakti hui awaaz mein): "Miss Shailja... maine suna tha ki aapka kaam kamaal hai, par maine ye nahi socha tha ki uska 'source' itna khubsurat hoga. Aapki shaksiyat mein ek aisi garmi hai jo mere is hotel ke AC ko bhi fail kar rahi hai."

Shailja ne halka sa jhuk kar apni file aage badhayi, jisse uske gehre cleavage ka nazaara Vardhan ko bilkul kareeb se dikha. Usne apni aankhon mein ek shaitani chamak ke saath Vardhan ki taraf dekha.

Shailja: "Business mein garmi honi hi chahiye Mr. Vardhan, warna merger thanda pad jata hai. Kyun, aapko kya lagta hai?"

Sonali ne jab dekha ki Vardhan uski maa ke bhari nitambon ko tab nihaar raha tha jab wo samples dikhane ke liye khadi hui, toh wo gussa nahi hui balki muskura di. Use pata tha ki uski maa ab in cheezon ka maza leti hai.

Vardhan: "Shailja, aapke ye designs... aur aapke ye curves... dono hi international standard ke hain. Agar aap mere hotel ki uniforms design karengi, toh mujhe darr hai ki grahak uniforms ko hi dekhte reh jayenge."

Shailja ne wine ka glass uthaya aur uska ek sip lete hue Vardhan ke kaan ke paas jhuki. "Toh dekhne dijiye na... main chahti hoon ki log meri har cheez ko nihaarein. Mujhe pasand hai jab mard meri tareef karte hain, chahe wo meri akal ki ho... ya mere is badan ki."

Vardhan ne himmat karke Shailja ki naram kamar par halka sa hath rakha jab wo bahar ka view dikhane gayi. Shailja ne use roka nahi, balki thoda aur piche jhuk kar uske sparsh ko mehsoos kiya. Uske andar ki nayi aur besharam aurat is 'attention' se poori tarah jawan ho rahi thi.

Meeting ke baad, Vardhan ne unhe dinner ke liye invite kiya. "Aaj raat ka dinner mere penthouse suite mein hoga... sirf business discuss karne ke liye nahi, balki humare is 'connection' ko aur gehra karne ke liye."

Sonali ne apni maa ki taraf dekha aur ishara kiya. Shailja ne muskura kar haan keh diya.

Ab Shalini wo darr-darr ke jeene wali aurat nahi thi. Woh jaanti thi ki uske paas ek aisa shaktishali badan hai jiske dum par wo pure shehar ko apne kadmon mein rakh sakti hai. Vardhan toh bas ek shuruat thi.

Gulmohar Grand ke penthouse suite ki raatein aksar tanhayi mein beettin thin, par aaj wahan ek aisi aag jalne wali thi jiski garmi ne pure shehar ko apni lapet mein le lena tha. Dinner ke liye Shailja aur Sonali jab Vardhan ke suite mein pahunchin, toh Vardhan ki aankhon mein ek saaf-saaf bhook aur hawas dikh rahi thi, jise Shailja ne jaante-bujhte uksaya tha.

Shailja ne aaj ek sheer (jaaliदार) black lace saree pehni thi, jiska blouse backless tha aur samne se uske gadraye hue ubhaaron ka gehra cleavage dikha raha tha. Saree itni patli thi ki uske niche uski bhari aur gori jaanghon ka aakar saaf nazar aa raha tha. Har kadam par saree uske bhari nitambon par kas kar chipak jaati, jisse uski har adaa aur bhi katilana lagti. Sonali ne ek sexy cocktail dress pehni thi, par aaj ki raat ka focus poori tarah Shailja par tha.

Vardhan ne unka swagat kiya. Uski nazrein Shailja ke jism par tikki theen. Vardhan: "Shailja, aapki khubsurati ne toh chand ko bhi sharminda kar diya hai. Aaj mujhe lagta hai business ke alawa bhi bohot kuch discuss karna padega."

Shailja ne muskurate hue Vardhan ki taraf dekha aur jaan-boojhkar apne naram ubhaaron ko thoda aur ucha kiya. "Kyun nahi Mr. Vardhan? Jab baat business aur pleasure ki ho, toh main koi compromise nahi karti."

Dinner table par maahol bohot garam ho chuka tha. Vardhan baar-baar Shailja ke bhari-pure seene ko nihaar raha tha. Jab Shailja wine ka glass uthati, toh uski chikni bagalein dikhti thin, aur Vardhan ki saansein tez ho jaati thin.

Shailja ne jaan-boojhkar apne hath se wine ka ek boond apne ubhro ke beech gira diya. Shailja: "Oh dear, main kitni clumsy hoon." Usne dheere se apni ungli se us boond ko saaf kiya, aur Vardhan ki aankhon mein dekh kar halka sa muskurayi. Vardhan ki zubaan uske hothon par phir gayi.

Vardhan: "Clumsy nahi, Shailja... aap toh har angle se poori 'perfect' lagti hain. Kaash main... kaash main us boond ko khud saaf kar pata."

Shailja ne Vardhan ke pair par apna nanga paon ragda, jo usne sandal utar kar kiya tha. Vardhan uchal pada. Sonali ne ye sab dekha aur chupchap muskura di. Use apni maa ki ye nayi adayein pasand aa rahi thin.

Dinner ke baad, wo log living area mein aaye. Shailja ek bade, naram sofa par baithi aur Vardhan ko apne bagal mein baithne ka ishara kiya. Sonali thodi dur baithi apne phone mein kuch dekh rahi thi, jaise use in sab se koi matlab na ho.

Shailja ne dheere se apna hath Vardhan ki jaangh par rakha, jaise anjane mein. Vardhan ka jism thar-tharane laga. Vardhan: "Shailja... aap mujhe pagal kar dengi. Aapki hathon mein toh jaadu hai." Shailja ne Vardhan ke kaan mein dheere se kaha, "Jaadu toh abhi shuru hua hai Mr. Vardhan. Aapne abhi meri asli 'kala' dekhi kahan hai?"

Shailja ne apni saree ka pallu thoda niche sarakaya, jisse uske komal kandhe aur chikni peeth ka ek bada hissa dikhne laga. Vardhan ne himmat ki aur apna hath Shailja ke kandhe par rakh diya. Shailja ne use roka nahi, balki Vardhan ke hath ko apni naram kamar par niche ki taraf le gayi, jahan saree ki hook thi.

Vardhan ne jab Shailja ki bhari kamar ko chhua, toh uske hath kaanpne lage. Shailja ne ek gehri saans li aur Vardhan ke honthon ke kareeb apne honth laye. Shailja: "Mr. Vardhan... agar aap mere saath Gulmohar Grand ka merger chahte hain, toh aapko mujhe dikhana hoga ki aap kitne 'passionate' hain. Business mein bhi, aur..." Usne apni aankhon se Vardhan ke niche ke hisse ki taraf ishara kiya.

Vardhan ne sab kuch bhula diya. Usne Shalini ko apni bahon mein bhar liya aur uske rasile hothon ko choomne laga. Shailja ne Vardhan ko poori tarah apne kabze mein le liya tha. Woh ab majboor nahi thi, balki wo in mardon ko apni ungliyon par nachati thi. Use har mard ki hawas mein apni jeet dikhti thi. Vardhan jaisa mard uske saamne ek khilona ban chuka tha.

Sonali ne ye sab dekha aur ek lambi saans li. Uski maa ab darti nahi thi, balki wo shikar karti thi.

Shailja ki chaal itni shaatir thi ki Vardhan ko andaza bhi nahi hua ki usne apni poori kismat un do auraton ke naam likh di hai. Boardroom se lekar penthouse tak, har ek adaa aur har ek sparsh ek sochi-samjhi saazish ka hissa tha.

Vardhan ab Shailja ke bhari-pure jism ki garmi mein is kadar dooba tha ki use hosh hi nahi raha ki duniya kahan hai. Shailja ne uske kaan ke paas apne hoth le jaakar ek gehri siskari bhari, jisse Vardhan ki pakad uski naram kamar par aur sakht ho gayi.

Theek usi waqt, Sonali bade itminaan se uss bade sofe ke kone se uthi aur apne ek bade se purse se ek file nikali. Uske hath mein ek moti leather file thi. Usne dekha ki kaise Vardhan uski maa ke gehre cleavage mein nazrein gadaye baitha hai.

Sonali (professional lehje mein): "Excuse me, Mr. Vardhan. Merger ki kuch formalities reh gayi hain. Agar aap in papers par sign kar dein toh hum aaj hi is partnership ko 'seal' kar sakte hain."

Vardhan, jiski saansein Shailja ke gore badan ki khushbu se ukhad rahi thin, usne bina dekhe file pakdi. Usne socha ye wahi 1 saal ka contract hai, par use kya pata tha ki Sonali ne dimaag lagakar use 5 saal ka kar diya hai. Usne turant pen nikala aur Shailja ki nangi peeth par hath pherte hue jaldi se sign kar diye.

Jaise hi sign hue, Sonali ne file uthayi aur ek vijayi muskurahat apni maa ki taraf uchali. Duniya ke liye wo sirf business partners thin, koi sapne mein bhi nahi soch sakta tha ki ye dono maa-beti hain. Shailja ne Vardhan ki baahon mein thoda aur phisalte hue Sonali ki taraf dekha.

Shailja: "Sonali, tum jao aur office mein saari formalities puri karo. Aaj ka kaam bohot thaka dene wala tha... mujhe lagta hai Mr. Vardhan ke saath mujhe kuch 'extra time' bitana padega. Mera intezar mat karna, mujhe ghar aane mein der ho sakti hai."

Shailja ne ye bolte hue Sonali ko ek shararati aankh maari (wink). Us aankh maarne mein wahi besharmi thi jo ab unki nayi zindagi ka hissa thi.

Sonali (muskurate hue): "Sure, Shailja. Enjoy yourself. Mr. Vardhan, meri partner ka dhyan rakhiyega."

Sonali ne apni haseen maa ko us gair mard ki baahon mein, us aalishan suite mein akela chhoda aur baahar nikal gayi. Use pata tha ki uski maa ab shikar nahi, shikari hai.

Darwaza band hote hi Shailja ne Vardhan ki taraf dekha. Usne apne hath Vardhan ki gardan par lapet diye aur apni gori jaangh uski taangon ke beech fasa di.

Shailja: "Ab batayiye Mr. Vardhan... aapne itni badi deal sign ki hai, toh uska 'reward' (inaam) toh banta hai na?"

Vardhan ne Shailja ko utha kar sofa par patak diya. Shailja ki saree ka pallu poori tarah utar chuka tha, uske bhari aur naram ubhaar ab sirf us patle lace wale blouse mein qaid the jo phatne ko taiyar tha. Shailja ne khul kar apni hansi bikhari—ek aisi hansi jo ek azad aur besharam aurat ki thi, jise ab kisi maryada ya darr ki parwah nahi thi.

Vardhan ne uske gore pet par apne hoth rakhe aur niche sarakne laga. Shailja ne apna sar piche jhukaya aur suite ki roshni mein apne jism ka poora nazaara use lene diya. Wo jaanti thi ki aaj raat Vardhan uski har khwahish puri karega, aur badle mein wo usse Gulmohar Grand ki har chabi chin legi.

Vardhan ke penthouse suite mein madhosh karne wali khushbu aur madham roshni ke beech, Shailja ne apni besharmi ka wo naya roop dikhaya jise dekh kar Vardhan ki rooh tak kanp gayi. Sonali ke jate hi Shailja ne ek gehri siskari bhari aur sofa par thoda piche jhuk kar baith gayi, jisse uski midnight blue velvet dress uske bhari nitambon par aur bhi kas gayi.

Vardhan ab kisi bhookhe janwar ki tarah Shailja par jhuka. Shailja ne apne gore aur makhmali hath Vardhan ke baalon mein phansaye aur use apne kareeb khincha. Usne Vardhan ke kaan ke paas apne garam hoth le jaakar dhire se kaha, "Aaj raat tum sirf mere ho, Vardhan... aur main tumhare har armaan ko poora karungi."

Vardhan ne jab Shailja ke bhari-pure seene par apna hath rakha, toh Shailja ne apni aankhein band kar lin. Velvet ke niche se uske naram aur garam ubhaar Vardhan ki hatheliyon mein machalne lage. Vardhan ne dress ki zipper niche khinchi, aur Shailja ki gori nangi peeth suite ki roshni mein chamakne lagi.

Shailja ne apni dress niche girne di. Ab wo sirf apne lace wale kaale lingerie mein thi, jo uske gadraye hue badan ko sambhalne mein nakaam ho raha tha. Uske gore aur bhari nitamb sofa ki chamdi par ragad rahe the. Vardhan ne use utha kar penthouse ki kanch wali khidki ke paas khada kar diya, jahan se poora shehar dikh raha tha.

Vardhan ne piche se Shailja ki patli kamar pakdi aur uske gardan par apne hoth rakh diye. Shailja ne khidki ke kanch par apne dono hath rakhe aur thoda aage ki taraf jhuki (doggy style pose), jisse uske nitamb piche ki taraf ubhar aaye.

Vardhan (haampte hue): "Tum kitni rasili ho Shailja... mera sab kuch tumhara hai."

Shailja ne piche mudkar uski aankhon mein dekha, uski aankhon mein ab dard nahi, balki ek shaitani maza tha. "Toh lo Vardhan... jo tumhara hai, use hasil karo."

Vardhan ne bina der kiye Shailja ki gori jaanghon ko pakad kar unhe thoda aur phailaya. Jab usne pehli baar Shailja ke andar pravesh kiya, toh Shailja ki ek dardnak nahi, balki ek be-inteha maze wali cheekh nikli. 'Pacch-pacch' ki awaaz suite mein goonjne lagi. Har dhakke ke saath Shailja ka bhari jism kanch se takrata aur uske naram ubhaar upar-niche uchhalne lagte.

Shailja ne apne sar ko piche jhukaya aur Vardhan ke kandhe par apne daant gad diye. Wo har dhakke ka maza le rahi thi, kyunki har dhakka use ye ehsaas dila raha tha ki wo ab kitni taqatwar hai. Usne Vardhan ko apni ungliyon par nachaya tha, aur ab wo uske jism ko nichod rahi thi.

Dono ki pasine se nangi dehein ek-dusre se lipat rahi thin. Shailja ne palatkar Vardhan ko sofa par litaya aur khud uske upar sawar ho gayi (cowgirl style). Usne apne gore hath Vardhan ke seene par rakhe aur apni kamar ko ek ajeeb si raftar mein hilana shuru kiya. Uske bhari nitamb Vardhan ki jaanghon par zor-zor se baj rahe the.

Raat dhal rahi thi, par suite mein aag badhti ja rahi thi. Shailja ne Vardhan ko poori tarah nichod liya tha. Jab wo dono charam seema par pahunche, toh Shailja ne ek lambi aur gehri siskari bhari aur Vardhan ke upar hi dher ho gayi. Uska nanga aur gora badan Vardhan ki pasine se bhari chati par tezi se saans le raha tha.

Vardhan ko lag raha tha ki usne jannat paa li hai, par Shailja ke dimaag mein ab bhi business aur agla shikar tha. Usne Vardhan ke maathe ko chooma aur dhire se muskurayi—wo muskurahat ek aisi aurat ki thi jisne apni zillat ko apni sabse badi taqat bana liya tha.

Suraj ki pehli kiran ke saath jab Shailja apni Maybach se utri, uske chehre par thakaan nahi balki ek aisi chamak thi jo sirf ek badi fateh (victory) ke baad aati hai. Usne wahi midnight blue dress pehni thi, jo ab thodi silvaton se bhari thi, aur uske baal thode bikhre hue the jo uski raat ki darindagi aur maze ki gawahi de rahe the.

Mansion ke aalishan living room mein Sonali pehle se hi coffee ka mug liye baithi thi. Usne apni maa ko is haal mein dekha—unka gehra cleavage, bikhri hui surkhi (lipstick), aur unki aankhon mein wo vijayi muskurahat.

Sonali ne apni maa ko upar se niche tak nihara. Usne dekha ki Shailja ki gardan par Vardhan ke danton aur hothon ke laal nishaan saaf chamak rahe the.

Sonali (ek shararati muskurahat ke saath): "Good morning, partner. Lagta hai Gulmohar Grand ka 'merger' umeed se zyada gehra raha?"

Shailja ne apni heels utari aur nange paon chalte hue Sonali ke paas aayi. Usne Sonali ke hath se coffee ka mug liya aur ek ghoont bhara. Uska nanga aur gora badan subah ki roshni mein aur bhi rasila lag raha tha.

Shailja: "Vardhan ek accha khiladi hai Sonali, par use ye nahi pata ki usne kiske saath baazi lagayi hai. Usne mujhe apna jism diya, aur maine badle mein uske pure hotel ki kismat apne naam kar li."

Sonali ne table par wahi 5 saal wala contract rakha jis par Vardhan ne madhoshi mein sign kiye the.

Sonali: "Wo abhi tak soya hoga, ye soch kar ki usne aapke saath ek yaadgaar raat bitayi hai. Par jab use hosh aayega aur wo legal papers dekhega, tab use pata chalega ki wo agle 5 saal ke liye humari ungliyon par nachne wala hai. Mom, aapne waqayi use nichod liya."

Shailja ne contract ko chhुआ aur phir apne hothon se laga liya. Usne Sonali ki taraf dekha, uski aankhon mein ab wo purani bholi Shalini kahin nahi thi.

Shailja: "Use nichodna zaroori tha beta. Ye mard jaat tabhi jhukti hai jab unhe unki hi hawas ke jaal mein phansaya jaye. Aaj se Gulmohar Grand humara playground hai. Hum wahan jo chahe karenge, jise chahe nikalenge, aur Vardhan wahi karega jo hum kahenge."

Dono maa-beti ne ek-dusre ka hath thama. Unka rishta ab sirf khoon ka nahi, balki ek aisi partnership ka tha jahan wo dono milkar duniya par raaj karne wali thin.

Shailja: "Sonali, taiyar ho jao. Aaj sham ko humein Gulmohar Grand mein ek 'Victory Party' deni hai. Main chahti hoon ki pura shehar dekhe ki Shailja aur Sonali kya cheez hain. Aur Vardhan... wo wahan humare personal waiter ki tarah khada rahega."

Sonali ne apni maa ke gale lag kar unke naram kandhe ko thapthapaya. "Aap meri inspiration ho, Mom. Chaliye, ab aap thoda relax kar lijiye, sham ko humein phir se shikar par nikalna hai."

Shailja ne apne kamre ki taraf badhte hue apne bhari nitambon ko halka sa jhatka diya, jaise wo apne purane ateet ki dhool ko poori tarah jhad rahi ho. Woh ab ek nayi saltanat ki malkin thi.

[AARCHANA]

Victory Party ki shaam Gulmohar Grand ka ballroom kisi raaj-darbar ki tarah saja tha, par aaj is darbar ki 'Sultana' Vardhan nahi, balki Shailja thi. Pura shehar Shailja aur Sonali ke is naye merger ki charcha kar raha tha.

Vardhan, jo subah se contract ke kagazat dekh kar sadme mein tha, ab party mein kisi haare hue sipahi ki tarah khada tha. Usne jab dekha ki Sonali ne 1 saal ki jagah 5 saal ka lock-in period aur 60% share Shailja ke naam karwa liye hain, toh uske paon tale zameen nikal gayi. Par ab der ho chuki thi—wo sign kar chuka tha.

Tabhi ballroom ke darwaze khule. Shailja ne ek gold-shimmer ki skin-tight mermaid dress pehni thi jo uske gadraye hue badan par kisi pighle hue sone ki tarah chipki thi. Uska gehra cleavage aur uske bhari nitambon ka ubhaar har kisi ko majboor kar raha tha ki wo apni nazrein wahi tika dein. Sonali uske saath thi, ek silver mini-dress mein, bilkul apni maa ki parchhayi lag rahi thi.

Shailja seedha Vardhan ke paas gayi. Vardhan ne gusse aur lalach ki mili-juli nazar se use dekha.

Vardhan (dhire se): "Shailja, ye tumne kya kiya? 5 saal ka contract? Tumne mera bharosa toda hai."

Shailja ne apni wine ka glass Vardhan ke hothon ke paas laya aur ek shaitani muskurahat ke saath kaha, "Bharosa? Mr. Vardhan, business mein bharosa nahi, 'vashikaran' chalta hai. Aur kal raat aap mujhse itne vashibhoot the ki aapne apni rooh tak mere naam kar di."

Usne jaan-boojhkar apna bhari seena Vardhan ke seene se sataya aur uske kaan mein phusphusayi, "Ab sabke samne muskurao... aur mujhe ek 'Business Partner' ki tarah nahi, balki apni 'Malkin' ki tarah pesh karo."

Shailja ne stage par mic sambhala. Pura ballroom shant ho gaya.

Shailja: "Doston, aaj se Gulmohar Grand ek naye daur mein kadam rakh raha hai. Aur is naye safar ki shuruat Mr. Vardhan khud karenge... meri aur Sonali ki ek choti si khwahish poori karke."

Usne Vardhan ki taraf dekha. Vardhan majboor tha, wo janta tha ki agar usne mana kiya toh Shailja use barbaad kar degi. Shailja ne apna nanga paon aage kiya, jis par mehengi heels thi.

Shailja: "Vardhan, meri heel thodi dheeli lag rahi hai... zara ise thik kar denge?"

Pure ballroom mein sannata chha gaya. Shehar ka itna bada hotel maalik, sabke samne niche jhuka aur ghutno ke bal baith kar Shailja ke gore aur makhmali paon ko hath lagaya. Shailja ne apna pair uske hath par rakha aur uske sar par apna hath aise phera jaise kisi paltu janwar par pherte hain.

Sonali ne ye nazaara dekha aur apni maa ki taraf dekh kar muskura di. Use pata tha ki uski maa ne sirf hotel nahi, balki Vardhan mard-jaat ki akad ko bhi apne kadmon mein jhuka diya hai.

Jab party khatam hui aur wo dono apne mansion lauti, toh Shailja ne apna gown utara aur sirf lingerie mein aaine ke samne khadi hui. Uska naram aur gora badan aaj pehle se zyada chamak raha tha.

Sonali: "Mom, aapne aaj kamaal kar diya. Vardhan ki shakal dekhne layak thi."

Shailja: "Ye toh bas shuruat hai Sonali. Ab humein Gulmohar Grand ki har branch par kabza karna hai. Aur Vardhan... wo ab humara wo mohra hai jo humare liye har darwaza kholega. Use lagta tha wo mujhe 'bhog' raha hai, par use kya pata ki maine use 'kharid' liya hai."

Shailja ne wine ka aakhiri ghoont bhara aur apni beti ki taraf dekhi. Uske andar ki besharmi ab uski sabse badi kamyabi ban chuki thi.

Mansion ke sabse upar bane us aalishan bedroom mein, jahan duniya ki har mehengi sukh-suvidha maujood thi, bahar ki chamak-dhamak se dur ek bilkul alag hi manzar tha. Kamre ki roshni madham thi aur 'Victory Party' ka wo shor ab sirf ek yaad ban chuka tha.

Shailja, jo bahar duniya ke liye ek patthar-dil, ghamandi aur besharam aurat thi, ab aaine ke samne khadi thi. Usne apne gale se mehenga heere ka haar utara aur use table par patak diya. Uske gore kandhe thoda jhuke hue the, aur uski aankhon mein wo shaitani chamak ki jagah ek purani nammi thi.

Usne apne gown ki zip niche ki, aur wo sonahri dress uske bhari nitambon se sarakti hui niche gir gayi. Ab wo sirf apne lingerie mein thi, uska naram aur gora badan subah ki thandak mein kaanp raha tha. Usne aaine mein apne jism par bane nishaanon ko dekha—kuch purane zillat ke, aur kuch aaj raat ki jeet ke.

Tabhi Sonali andar aayi. Usne dekha ki uski maa thodi khamosh hai. Usne jaakar Shailja ke piche se unhe gale laga liya.

Sonali (dhire se): "Mom... aap thik hain na?"

Shailja ne palatkar Sonali ko dekha aur uski aankhon se ek aansu nikal kar uske gore gaal par dhalak gaya. "Duniya ko lagta hai Sonali ki main bahut besharam ho gayi hoon... unhe lagta hai mujhe mardon ko jhukane mein maza aata hai. Par unhe kya pata ki is 'Shailja' ke niche aaj bhi wo 'Shalini' kahin dabi hui hai, jiska dil us raat us store room mein hi toot kar bikhar gaya tha."

Sonali ne apni maa ko pakad kar bed par bithaya aur khud unke kandhe par apna sar rakh diya. Shailja ne apni beti ki baalon mein ungliyan pheri. Unke naram jism ek-dusre ke sparsh se thoda sukoon paa rahe the.

Sonali: "Mom, wo Shalini mar chuki hai. Use un darindon ne mara tha. Aaj jo aap ho, wo unka jawaab ho. Agar aap besharam nahi banti, toh ye duniya humein phir se wahi khada kar deti. Aapne jo kiya, wo humari azadi ke liye tha."

Shailja ne lambi saans li. "Kabhi-kabhi mujhe darr lagta hai beta... ki ye raasta humein kahan le jayega. Par jab main tumhari taraf dekhti hoon, toh mujhe lagta hai ki mera har ek gunah, har ek besharmi sahi thi. Main tumhe wo narak nahi dekhne dungi jo maine dekha."

Us band kamre mein, un dono ke beech koi business nahi tha, koi seduction nahi tha. Wahan sirf do auratein thin jo ek-dusre ki taqat thin. Shailja ne Sonali ka matha chooma. Uska dil bhale hi tukdon mein bata ho, par un tukdon ko jodne wali sirf Sonali thi.

Shailja: "Duniya ke liye main ghamandi hi rahungi Sonali. Jitna wo mujhse nafrat karenge, main utni hi taqatwar banungi. Bas tum mera sath mat chhodna."

Sonali (muskurate hue): "Kabhi nahi, Mom. Hum dono ek hi dhaal hain. Ab aap so jaiye... kal subah humein phir se wahi 'Shailja' banna hai jiske kadmon mein ye shehar jhukta hai."

Shailja ne chadar odh li aur Sonali uske paas hi let gayi. Bahar shehar so raha tha, ye anjan hokar ki us 'besharam' aurat ke seene mein ek aisa dard dabi hai jise sirf uski beti hi samajh sakti thi.

[AARCHANA]

Shailja aur Sonali apni shakti ke shikhar par pahunch jati hain. Unhone sirf paisa hi nahi, balki wo samman aur darr bhi kama liya tha jo unse kabhi chheen liya gaya tha.

Kuch saalon baad, Gulmohar Grand ab desh ka sabse bada hotel chain ban chuka tha. Shailja ne apne ateet ke saare kachre ko saaf kar diya tha. Pramod aur Soham jail ki salakhon ke peeche apni galti ki saza kaat rahe the, aur Aryan ka kahin koi naam-o-nishan nahi bacha tha.

Ek sham, Shailja apne mansion ki balcony mein khadi thi. Usne ek shandaar satin ka robe pehna tha, jo uske gadraye hue badan ki lakeeron ko badi khubsurti se ubhaar raha tha. Sonali uske paas aayi, ab wo bhi ek paripakv (mature) aur atma-vishvasi mahila ban chuki thi.

Sonali: "Mom, aaj humne wo purana showroom aur wo dukan ki saari zameen kharid li hai. Ab hum wahan kya karenge?"

Shailja ne dur kshitij (horizon) ki taraf dekha aur muskura di. "Wahan hum ek aisi academy kholenge Sonali, jahan har us ladki ko dhaal banna sikhaya jayega jise ye duniya kamzor samajhti hai. Wahan 'Shalini' ki bebas yaadein nahi, balki 'Shailja' ki taqat ka jashn manaya jayega."

Shailja ne apne haath mein wine ka glass uthaya aur ek aakhiri baar apne ateet ko yaad kiya. Usne samajh liya tha ki zindagi ne use jo dard diya, usi dard ne use ye shaktishali aur besharam avatar diya, jisne use tootne se bachaya.

Dono maa-beti ne glass takraya (cheers). Unke liye ab koi mard khatra nahi tha, balki wo mardon ki duniya ki malikin thi.

Shailja: "Duniya kahegi ki hum badal gaye, hum bigad gaye... par sach toh ye hai Sonali, ki hum sirf 'jeena' seekh gaye."

Dono ne ek-dusre ka haath thama aur mansion ke andar chali gayin. Piche reh gayi sirf shehar ki roshniyan, jo Shailja (Shalini) ki is hairatangez aur dardnaak dastaan ki khamosh gawah thin.

Ye kahani ek majboor aurat ke ek taqatwar shikari banne ka safar tha, jahan usne apne har zakhm ko apni taqat banaya.
