Gutte pe baithe Abdul aur Rajan pi rahe the. Rajan bola, “Master ko ye baat manani hi padegi.”
“To kya sachmuch Sahebrao us neech jat ke Keshar ko ghar main lenge?”, Abdul bola.
“Jaban nibhane ke liye thodehi di jati hai? Aur manalo ye shadi unhe karwani padi. Tabbhi Babu ke naam par wahi to maja marenge..”, haste huye Rajan bola.
Keshar Sahebrao ke hi wasana ka shikar bani thi. Rajan ne use behosh kar babu ke kamre main daala tha. Aur Sahebrao uske bhare sharir par tut pade the.
Idhar Sahebrao aur sathiyonke koshishoko kamyabhi mil gayi thi. Bhola ki iccha aur Keshar ke bhavishya ko sochate huye wo shadise sehmat huye. Subeh ke tanaav dhalkar gaav main khushiyali aagayi.

“Sahebrao, aapne jaban diye do mahine ho gaye aur abhibhi aap shadi aage dhakele ja rahe hai? Ye sarasar beimani hai.. main iske khilaf aandolan khada kar dunga.”, gusse se latpad Motiram grampachayat se nikal pade.
Sahebrao putputaye, “Ab is master ko mere tareeke se samjhana padega.
”Dusare hi deen akhabar main kabhar thi – ‘ Himmatpur ke Aadarsh vidyalaya main poshan aahar ke ‘food-poisoning’ se 3 vidyarthiyonki mout.
”Headmaster hone ke karan unko is ghatna ka jimmevar mana gaya. Aur uhe pulice custody mil gayi. Is baat ka sabse jada ‘sadama’ Sahebrao ko pohacha. Unhone sabha bulkar ye ailan kiya ki master Motiram ke begunayi par unhe pura vishwas hai aur is imthahan ki ghadi main wo unke pariwar ke sath hai.Sahebraone apne khud ke paise se accha vakeel diya tha. Do din se vakeel case study kar rahe the.
“Kya mujhe unse nahi milne diya jayega?”, Arundhati ne pucha.
“Ek kaam kijiye kal aap log 10 baje tak waha pohach jayiye… Main kuch koshish karta hoon.”, vakeel bole.
Sahebrao aur gav ke bujurgone teh kiya ki wo sab milkar kal master Motiram ko dekhane jayenge. Raat ke 10 baje the. Arundhati ne darwaja lagaya. Sunil apne baap ki yaad main ro raha tha. Arundhati uspar chillayi, “Chupchap so ja.. Ab rokar kya fayda… Ye sab tumhare baapke karmo ka phal hai. Kitni baar samjhaya tha unhe in jhamelon main mat pado.” Itne main darwaje pe kisine dastak di. “Kaun hai?”, wo chouki.
“Main hoon.. Rajan.. Sahebrao ne file bhijwayi hai.” Ye sunkar Arundhati ne darwaja khola.“Ismain kes ke jaruri kagjad hai. Sahebrao ne kaha hai aap ise thik se padh le aur sambhalkar rakhiye.”, bolkar wo chala gaya.

Andhera honeko aaya lekin Arundhati ghar nahi lauti thi. Sunil bahot pareshan ho raha tha. Waise to Arundhati ne bataya tha ki shayad ek din use waha rukna bhi pade. Par use bhi apne pitaji ki fikar ho rahi thi. Wo apni maa ke sath unse milne jana chahta tha. Lekin Arundhati ne use Jail le janese inkar kar diya tha. Uske kadam tejise gaon ki bahar, Sahebrao ke farmhouse ki aur badhane lage. Sahebrao ghar pe nahi the; shayad farmhouse par honge ye sochkar wo us kheto ke bich se janewale raste se farmhouse ki aur badh raha tha. Samne se jeep aake uske bagal main ruk gayi. “Kaha ja rahe ho?”, Sahebrao ke driver Rajan ne chadi aawaj main pucha.
“Ji.. maa abhi tak lauti nahi… to Sahebrao ji se…”
“Are un logo ko aaj Masterji se nahi milne diya gaya.. Isliye wo wahi ruk gaye hai. Kal unse milkar hi lautenge.”, Rajan ne kaha, “Aur andhere main akele kaha ghum rahe ho. Biath jao gadi main.
”Rajan ki gadi gaon ki aur teji se nikal padi. Sunil chupchak uske baju baitha tha. Kuch pal aisehi bite.
“Khane ka kya karoge?”, Rajan ne usse pucha.
“Wo.. maa raat ka khana bhi banakar gayi hai.”, Sunil bola.
Rajan muskuraya aur achanak jor se has pada. Pure raste wo gadhe ke bhati hasta raha aur Sunil nasamjhi se uski aur dekhta raha. Sunil ko ghar chodkar kar wo parampara anusar Abdul ke gutte pai gaya. Gaon main huyi taja wardato ke baad gutte par pulice ki chakare badh gayi thi. Aur is vajah se gutte pe bhid na thi. Lekin Sahebrao ke naujawan karykarta ise apvad the.
“Kya baat hai Rajan bhai?... aaj bade muskura rahe ho.”, akele baithe Rajan ko ‘company’ dene hetu Abdul ka aagman hua.
“Yaar Abdul, niti aur bewkufi main jada fark nahi hai. Dekho na, jadatar sidhe sadhe logonko hi bewkuf banaya jata hai. Kya kehte ho?”, glass ko hoto se lagaye huye Rajan philosophy jhadne laga.
“Abe dimag ki maa bhen mat kar… saaf saaf bol.” Abdul ne ye kehkar sabit kar diya ki bhalehi uska kaam tedha hai, magar dimaag tedi batein nahi jhel pata.
“Arundhati…Master ki biwi, pata hai?”
“Aah… wo item.. yaar… kiski yad dila di tumne.”, Arundhati ka naam sunke Abdul ki aankhomain chamak aa gayi, “Uska kya?”
“Are uska beta mere pas aaya tha. Puch raha tha ki maa shehar se kab aayegi. Maine kaha- beta, wo to kal aayegi. To chupchap ghar gaya. Ab us jhandu ko kya pata ki sheher se hum log ek ghante pehele hi loute hai.”, fir wo has pada aur glass fir se bharte huye bola, “Ekdum mamu hai saala… bilkul apne baap jaisa.”
“Matlab?” , abdul ko nishane ka rukh samajha main aaya tha lekin Rajan ki alankar yukt boli sunane main usko ruchi thi.
“Abe.. matlab ye ki wo gaon main hi hai..”, thoda rukakar usne kaha, “Sahebrao ke farmhouse par.”
“Kya baat kar raha hai yaar… “, Abdul ko mano 440 volt ka jhatka laga. “Are uska pati jail gaye 2 din bhi nahi huye yaar..”
“To kya hua… har ek ki kamjori hoti hai. Aur Sahebrao kamjoriyonka fayda uthana bhali bhati jante hai. Tabi to ye ‘kabutari’ jaal main aa gayi hai unke..”, Rajan ke isi kathan-shaili par Abdul fida tha.
“Yaar.. mujhe to abhi yakeen nahi ho raha.” Abdul romanchit ho utha tha.
“Ha ha ha… .ab tak to aag lag bhi gayi hogi. Uska beta keh raha tha ki maa raat ka khana banakar gayi hai. Main to hasi rok nahi paya…sala.. khane ke sath sath tum baap-bete ko bhi ‘banakar’ chali gayi.”, Rajan uthate huye apni gadi ki aur badane laga.
“To kya aaj raat wo wahi rahegi?”, Abdul ne piche se pucha.“Aaj raat?”, Rajan ne mudke kaha, “Sabhi phul ek baar sungke pheke nahi jate. Ekadh phul aisa bhi hota hai ki jiske ittar ki lat lag jati hai.
Gutte pe baithe Abdul aur Rajan pi rahe the. Rajan bola, “Master ko ye baat manani hi padegi.”
