EPISODE 23

Gaadi jab tak sadak par daud rahi thi, tab tak to mardana baaton ka ek bazaar garam tha. Lekin achanak, raste ki ek sunsaan aur dhundhli mod par, sadak ke kinaare ek purana, jhilmilata hua dhaba nazar aaya. Wahan peele bulb ki roshni mein dhuein ka ek halka sa badal tair raha tha. Driver Bodyguard ne steering ghumayi, aur humari kaali Scorpio seedha us dhabe ke saamne ja ruki. 

Mera dil ek baar phir uchhal kar gale mein aa gaya. Hum yahan kyun ruke hain? Rubina ka ghar toh yahan se sirf chand kilometron ki doori par hoga. Kya inka koi aur irada hai? Kya ye mujhe kisi aur musibat mein phasaane ke liye yahan laaye hain?
 
Gaadi ka engine band hote hi teeno bodyguards aur Pappu darwaza khol kar foran baahar nikal aaye. Unke bhaari booton ki aawaz zameen par goonji. Unhone aapas mein kuchh sargoshi ki aur dhabe ke table par ja kar baith gaye, jahan ek boodha dhabawala jaldi se chai banane mein jud gaya tha. Wahan aas-paas zyada bheed nahi thi, bas ek-do aur log the jo apni kisi truck ke paas sote hue ya bidi peete hue nazar aa rahe the. Aur main... main us band gaadi ke andar akeli reh gayi.
 
Sheeshe se bahar dekhte hue mera dam ghutne laga. Darr aur bebasi ka ek ajeeb sa aalam mere poore wajood par chhaya hua tha. Lekin kuchh hi lamhon mein, driver side ka door khula aur Pappu wahan khada tha. Uske haath mein ek kulhad tha, jisse garm chai ka dhuaan nikal raha tha. Usne gaadi ke andar jhuk kar wo kulhad meri taraf badhaya.
 
Maine apni aankhon mein gussa, nafrat aur thodi si bebasi bhar kar use ghoora, wahi shakhs jisne thodi der pehle mujhe zaleel kiya tha. Pappu ne ek halki si laaparwah muskurahat ke sath apna sar hilaya, aur bola, "Arey madam, gussa thook dijiye! Itna kya bhav khana. Thandi hawa mein chai peene se dimaag theek ho jata hai. Lijiye, pijiye garma garam chai."
 
Main kuchh pal ke liye uski taraf dekhti rahi. Mera dil nahi maanta tha ki main is aadmi ke haath se kuchh lun, lekin gale ki khushki aur andar ki ghutan itni badh chuki thi ki maine bina kuchh bole, nazrein doosri taraf fer lin, aur kaanpte hue haathon se wo kulhad uske haath se apne haathon mein le liya. Pappu ek tanzhiya muskurahat ke sath wapas un bodyguards ke paas laut gaya.
 
Baahar wo sab mard khade ho kar zor-zor se thahake laga rahe the, chai ki chuski le rahe the aur aapas mein hasi-mazaak kar rahe the. Unke qahqehe us khamosh raat mein kisi gidh ki tarah goonj rahe the. Main gaadi ki pichhli seat par akeli baithi, us mitti ke kulhad se chai ki halki-halki sips le rahi thi. Chai ki garmahat mere gale se utri toh zaroor, lekin usne mere andar ke sannate ko aur gehra kar diya.
 
Aur tabhi... wo aalam shuru hua jisne mujhe andar se tod kar rakh diya. Achanak, bina kisi silsile ke, mujhe apne shauhar ki yaad aane lagi. Subah jab main Pandey ji ke ghar ke liye farha baaji ke saath car mein baithi thi, aur unka wo purshaan ghar dekha tha, wahan se lekar ab tak, 24 ghante bhi poore nahi hue the, par aisa lag raha tha maano main apne ghar, apne shauhar, apni purani aur pakiza zindagi se salo door ho chuki hoon.
 
Is bich hi mere saath kya kya ho gya mujhe pata hi nhi chala. Mera dil chahte hue bhi unhe bhula nahi pa raha tha. Kal is waqt main apne ghar apne shauhar ke saath thi aur yahi soch rhi thi ki kya main pandey ji ke ghar jaaun ya nhi.
 
Aur aaj? Aaj main kahan thi? Ek aise ghar mein jahan meri izzat ka koi mol nahi tha, jahan naukron aur mardano ke beech meri ghairat ki dhajjiyan udayi ja rahi thin, jahan gunahon ke bojh se meri rooh kachoti ja rahi thi, aur main ek anjaan kaali Scorpio mein, in mustando ke beech, ek dhabe par akeli bethi aansoo baha rahi thi.
 
Aankhon se ansoo tap-tap kar ke mere hathon par girne lage. Main apne shauhar ke us chehre ko yaad karne lagi jo kitna saaf-suthra, kitna muqaddas tha. Aur mera ye wajood... jo unke baad in gande logon ke darmiyan, in gunaahon aur badnasibi ki daldal mein dhas chuka tha.
 
Main kahan aa gayi? Maine apne aap ko kis anjaam tak pahuncha diya? Farha baaji ne mujhe puri baatein kyun nhi batayi? Mujhe saima ki baat sun leni chahiye thi. Chai ka wo kulhad mere haath mein thanda padne laga, aur baahar wahi mardo ke thahake aur dabe hue shor ke beech, main khamoshi se andar hi andar ghut-ghut kar rone lagi.
 
Dhabe ki us dhundhli aur peeli roshni mein, jahan main apne shauhar ki yaad mein ansoo baha rahi thi aur dil ki gehraiyon mein apne gunahon ka maatam mana rahi thi, wahi achanak waqt ne ek aisi anjaan aur khaufnaak karwat li, jisne meri saansein tak rok din.
 

Screeechhhhh... dhadaaaakk!

 
Ek aisi behuda, tezi se aati hui tyre ki awaaj aur brakes ki chikh-chikh fiza mein goonji ki mera kaleja muh ko aa gaya. Main jhatke se hosh mein aayi aur apni nam aankhein utha kar bahar ki taraf dekha. Dhabe ke theek samne, dhuen aur mitti ko cheerte hue ek safed rang ki Bolero besahara raftaar se aakar ruki. Uske tyres ki ragad se road par safed dhuan fail gaya. Us gaadi ke darwaze khulte hi achanak aisi aahat hui maano maut khud nanga naach nachne ke liye utar aayi ho.
 
Gale mein gamchhe lapete hue, aankhon mein gussa aur haathon mein lambi-lambi raifelein liye teen-chaar mustande mard Bolero se kood kar bahar aaye. Aur bina ek pal zaya kiye, bina kisi warning ke, unhone us sunsaan dhabe par goliyaan barsa kar dahla diya.
 

Dhad-dhad-dhad-dhad! Dhad-dhad!

 
Andhadhun firing shuru ho gayi. Goliyaan hawa ko cheerte hue dhabe ke deewaron, tables aur wahan rakhi cheezon ko chhedne lagin. Waqt jaise wahin jam gaya. Main us kaali Scorpio ki pichhli seat par baithi ki baithi reh gayi. Mera wajood patthar ban gaya. Saansein seene mein kahin qaid ho kar reh gayin. Meri aankhein phail gayin, aur mera gala andar se khushk ho gaya. Ek aisi ajeeb si jhanjhanahat mere pure jism mein utar aayi,na main cheekh saki, na main hil saki. Main bas ek gungi aur majboor makhlooq ki tarah is qatleaam ko apni aankhon ke samne dekhti reh gayi.
 
Sab kuchh itni tezi se hua ki dimag ko sochne ka mauqa hi nahi mila. Firing ki us pehli round mein hi, jab Pappu dhabe ke table ke paas un bodyguards ke sath khada tha, tabhi ek goli aisi aayi jisne hawa ko chira aur seedha jaakar... seedha Pappu ke seene ke beechon-beech chhed dala.
 
Ek bhayanak jhatka laga Pappu ko. Uski hansi, uska wo gurur, uska wo be-baak andaz, sab kuchh ek second mein thahar gaya. Uske haath mein jo mitti ka kulhad tha, wo achanak uske haathon se chhoot kar zameen par gira aur chhanak ki aawaz ke sath hazaron tukdo mein bikhar gaya, aur uske sath hi garam chai mitti par fail gayi.
 
Aur tab... wo ho gaya jo shayad mere wajood ki sabse khaufnaak tasveer thi. Pappu bina kuchh kahe, bina ek bhi aah bhare, seedha peechhe ki taraf zameen par dhab se gir pada. Uske seene se khoon ka ek fawara sa foot pada, jo uske kurte ko tezi se laal rang mein rangne laga. Wahan zameen par girte hi uska jism ek aakhri jhatka liya aur fir bilkul shaant ho gaya. Uski khuli hui aankhein aasmaan ki taraf dekh rahi thi, jismein ab zindagi ka koi nishaan nahi bacha tha.
 
Mere haath aur pair buri tarah kaanpne lage. Mere apas mein jude hathon mein jo chai ka kulhad tha, wo achanak chhoot kar gir gaya, aur sari chai meri god me aur seat par bikhar gayi. Lekin mujhe uski koi parwah nahi thi. Meri rooh kaanp uthi thi. Pappu... use goli lag gayi thi. Aur shayad... shayad wo mar chuka tha.
 
Ek insaan, jise maine paanch minute pehle thappad mara tha, jo abhi mujhse baat kar raha tha, jo gaadi mein baith kar apni zindagi ki baatein suna raha tha, wo achanak zameen par pada ek lash ban chuka tha. Pandey ji ke baaki bodyguards, jo cover le chuke the, unhone jab tak yeh manzar dekha aur humari gaadi ki taraf daud kar rifles nikalne ke liye haath badhaya, tab tak wo hamlawar apni safed Bolero mein wapas chadh chuke the.
 

Vroooommm... screech!

 
Bolero ne ek bhayanak dhuen ka badal chhoda, aur sarak par rubber ki cheekh chhodte hue andhere mein gayab ho gayi. Sab kuchh itni tezi se hua ki maano koi bhayanak sapna ho, lekin wo khali sadak, wo bikhar hua khoon, aur zameen par pada Pappu ka bejaan jism is baat ka gawah tha ki yeh haqeeqat thi, ek behad siah aur khooni haqeeqat.
 
Mera pura jism paseene se tar-ba-tar tha. Aansuon ka sailab meri aankhon se beh nikla tha, aur gala aisa ghut raha tha maano aakhri saas bhi abhi nikal jayegi. Main Scorpio ki seat par simat kar bas kaanp rahi thi, aur samne wo laal khoon mere dil par hamesha ke liye ek ghaav chhod gaya.
 
Waqt jaise us sunsaan dhaabe par kisi ne rok diya ho. Fiza mein abhi bhi barood ki jalne wali wo tez aur ghinoni boo baaki thi. Dhaabe ke us kacche aangan mein dhuein ka ek halka sa badal tair raha tha, aur uske beechon-beech zameen par pada Pappu ka bejaan jism ek aisi haqeeqat ban chuka tha jise dekh kar rooh kaanp uthe.
 
Mera wajood kaali Scorpio ki pichhli seat par simat kar reh gaya tha. Meri aankhein phati ki phati thi, aur unme aisi bejaan sunnhali utar aayi thi ki na main palak jhapka pa rahi thi aur na hi mere hothon se ek lafz adaa ho raha tha. Main bas fati hui aankhon se us laal daldal ko dekh rahi thi jo dheere-dheere mitti aur Pappu ke jism se nikal kar fail raha tha.
 
Aas-paas ke kuchh log, jo dhabe ke doosre kone par the ya aaspas ke kacche makaanon se nikal kar daude chale aaye the, wo sab wahan jama hone lage the. Unki sargoshiyan, unka shor, aur aapas mein machi bhag-daud ek madham aur gungi aawaz ki tarah mere kaano mein pad rahi thi.
 
Nikal samreen... gaadi se bahar nikal... dekh kya hua hai! Mera zameer aur mera darr mujhse keh raha tha, lekin mere pairon mein jaise lohe ki zanjeer bandh gayi ho. Itni himmat mujh mein baaki nahi thi ki main us kaali Scorpio ka darwaja khol kar zameen par paao rakh sakun aur us khooni manzar ke qareeb ja sakun. Main bas apni jagah par ek patthar ki murat ki tarah baithi rahi, jiska dil seene ke andar dhadakna bhool chuka tha.
 
Kuchh hi lamhon mein, door sadak par ek red-blue flashing light ghoomti hui nazar aayi. Weeu-weeu... weeu-weeu! Ambulance ki wo darawani aur tez aawaz us khamosh raat ke seene ko cheerti hui dhaabe ke bilkul qareeb aa kar ruki. Ambulance ke darwaze khule, aur paramedics ke sath-sath wahan mojud Pandey ji ke bodyguards ne foran aage badh kar Pappu ke us be-jaan, khoon se latpat jism ko uthaya. Uske haath aur sar latak rahe the, aur uska wo kurta poori tarah surkh ho chuka tha. Unhone use utha kar tezi se ambulance ke andar stretcher par lita diya.
 
Main gaadi ke kaale sheeshe se ye sab kuchh ek gunghe tamashe ki tarah dekhti rahi. Mere kaanpte hue haath meri god par pade the, aur ankhon se ansoo ab behna band ho chuke the, bas ek nammi thi jo palkon par jam gayi thi. Tabhi, dhabe ki taraf se tez qadmon ki aawaz aayi.
 
Scorpio ka pichhla darwaja jhatke se khula. Wahan khada wo bodyguard tha, jiske chehre par gusse, darr aur afratafri ka mila hua taassur tha. Uski shirt par jagah-jagah Pappu ka wo laal aur gaadha khoon laga hua tha, jo uske seene ko choone se uske kapdon par lag gaya tha. Uska seena tez-tez upar-neeche ho raha tha, aur wo haafte hue seedha meri taraf jhuka.
 
Usne aawaz mein ek sakht aur ghabraye hue lehje ke sath kaha, "Madam... suniye! Humein foran hospital nikalna pad raha hai, doctor aur security officer ke chakkar mein sabko wahan pahunchna zaroori hai. Aap... aap yahin is dhaabe mein baithi rahiyega." Main ek pal ke liye saans rok kar bas use dekhti reh gayi.
 
Usne apne haath se apna paseena pochha, jisse uske haath ka khoon uske maathe par bhi lag gaya, aur foran aage bolte hue kaha, "Maine... maine Vivaan babu ko call kar diya hai. Wo bas kuchh hi der mein yahan aa rahe hain, aur aapko yahin se pickup kar lenge. Tab tak aap dhaabe ke andar hi baithi rehiyega, bahar bilkul mat nikaliyega!"
 
Uske wo lafz mere kaano mein goonje, lekin dimag mein unka asar hone mein waqt laga. Bina mere kuchh bole, us bodyguard ne foran pichhla darwaja wapas zor se band kar diya aur aage wali seat mein baith gaya. Main utar kar seedha dhaabe me ghus gyi, kadam ladkhada rhe the aur main girti girti bachi. Kuchh hi seconds mein, ambulance aage nikal gayi aur uske peechhe bodyguards kaali scorpio leke nikal gye.
 
Achanak... poora dhaba, wo sadak, aur wo andhera wapas mujhe gher liya. Ab wahan koi nahi tha. Sirf ek-do dhabe ke maalik aur door khade kuchh log the, aur beech sadak par wo sookhta hua khoon tha. Main akeli, us dhaabe ke andar, apne andar chal rahi qayamat ke sath baithi thi. Mera dil ghabra raha tha, kya Vivaan sach mein aayega? Agar aayega bhi to kitni der me aayega? Kya wo mujhe yahan se nikalega?
