buddhe bhikari ka shewa

[Kara lina]

samay kabhee sthir nahin hota. din kab raat ho jaata hai yah aaj ke bhaag daud jamaane mein pata nahin chalata. kiran sharma ek saphal lekhak jisane har varg ke logo ko apane kitaab se bandhe rakha. jyaadaatar badee umar ke log inakee kitaab ko padhate hai. kahate hai kee inakee kalam kisee tren ya eroplen se kam nahin . jis jagah ke baare mein likhatee hai us jagah ko log padhakar mahasoos karate hai.

kiran ke paas paise kee koee kamee nahee. kiran ke saath usakee maan bhee rahatee hai jisakee shaadee kabhee nahee huee. ajeeb baat hai na ? darasal apane kolej ke deeno me inhe kisee aadamee se pyaar hua aur dono ke pyaar ka tohapha kiran baneen . lekin kiran kee maan yaanee sujita ke premee kee ek raat tren haadase mein maut huee aur sab kuchh badal gaya. sujeeta ne akele hee kiran ko paala posa aur bada kiya. kiran ne 18 saal kee kam umar mein apanee pahalee kitaab likhee jo bahut prasiddh huee aur usee se ko kamaee huee usee se apana ghar khareeda.saphalata kee oonchaee har kitaabo ke saath banaane lagee. lekin pichhalee 4 kitaabo ne koee saphalata haasil nahin kee. lagaataar 10 kitaab hit hone ke baad 4 badee phlop kitaab ke baad kiran ka man thoda kam lagane laga. jaroorat thee ek prerana kee jo kiran ko aage kee kahaanee banaane ka protsaahan de.

vakt tha disambar maheene ka. jab jhaarakhand mein kiran ke dost kee shaadee thee. shaadee mein kiran kaaphee saamaan lekar gaee aur bahut aanand uthaaya shaadee mein. kaee logo kee najar kiran pe padee aur kaee logo ne use gherakar tasveer selphee aur otograaph liya. log jaise kiran ko dekhane ke lie betaab the. baar baar ek hee savaal poochha gaya kee agala kitaab kab likhogee ? kiran savaal ko taalatee.

shaadee khatm huee aur kiran ne dillee kee phlait dekhee. saare phlaits us vakt kainsal the kyonki vaataavaran kharaab tha. kiran ke lie dillee jaana jarooree tha kyonki ek kampanee ke saath usakee deel huee thee. vaha ek ghante seminaar tha. usakee rakam kareeb 8 laakh rupe tay huee thee. kiran ke lie dillee kisee bhee keemat mein pahunchana jarooree tha. aakhir kiran ne saichond hand char le liya. kiran kaar ko bhaagane lagee. kareeb 3 ghante mein 180 kilomeetar ka raasta tay hua.lekin achaanak se joradaar toophaan aane kee vajah se visibility kam hone lagee. gaadee chalaane mein takaleeph hone lagee. achaanak se kaee saare ped girane lage jisakee vajah se gaadee ke saath haadasa hua. gaadee kee haalat kharaab huee. kaise karake jangal ke raaste se gujarakar doosare haeeve kee taraph gaadee ko le ja rahee kiran kee gaadee kharaab ho gaee. jangal bahut ghana tha. aas paas koee nahee tha. kiran ko ghabaraahat hone lagee.

is ghane jangal mein jarooree ban chuka tha kisee kee madad lena. kiran ko samajh nahee aa raha tha kee is toophaanee baarish mein kya kare. majabooran gaadee mein baithana pada. vakt beetane laga aur dopahar se raat hone vaalee thee. thand badhane lagee. spaiaivailaiss sari mein kiran kee haalat kharaab hone lagee. andhera sir par aur kiran ne apanee maan ko maisej bheja . itanee hee der mein ek aadamee aaya koee adhed umar ka . dikhane mein bahut mota aur kaala. shakal se hee koee lutera lag raha tha. asal mein vo lutera nahee balki bhikhaaree kallan tha jo din bhar kee majadooree karake ghar laut raha tha.kallan ne jab kiran ko dekha to dekhate rah gaya. ek khoobasoorat slaiaivailaiss sari mein kisee paree se kam nahin lag rahee thee. use dekhate hee kallan daudane laga aur dar se bhaagane laga. itane ghante baad mushkil se koee aadamee dikha aur madad bhee chaahie thee iseelie gaadee se baahar nikalakar vo kallan ke peechhe daudane lagee. daudate hue kallan phisalakar gira. use sahaara dene kiran paas gaee.

kiran jaise hee paas aaee to kallan ne hathauda uthaaya aur chillaate hue darate hue kaha "aae chudail tujhe darata nahin. paas aaee na to kaal doonga. bhaag yah se mujhe marane ka mat sochana."

kiran ko maano kuchh samajh mein nahin aaya aur bolee "main yahaan phasee huee hoon pleej meree madad karo. main tumhe kuchh nahee karoongee."

kallan chillaate hue kaha "chup chudail paas mat aana. tujh jaisee logo ko main jaanata hoon. madad ke bahaane hamaare paas aatee hai aur hamaara khoon pee jaatee hai. hey raam bachao bachao koee hai ?"

kiran ko jaise jor se haseen aa gaee aur vo hansane lagee. itane sunasaan jangal mein usakee aavaaz goonjane lagee. kallan ke jaise haalaat kharaab aur rote hue bola "chudail devee kyon mujhe marana chaahatee ho ? maine tumhaara kya bigaada ? dillee mujhe jaane do main vaada karata hoon ki kal se roj yahaan tumhaare lie murgee laoonga aur tum use kha lena."

kiran ne dheemee aavaaj mein kaha "pleej meree baat suno main dillee mein rahatee hoon. ghar ja rahee thee ko meree gaadee kharaab ho gaee hai. pleej madad karo ?"

"tum sach mein insaan ho ?"

"to kya chudail gaadee chalatee hai ?"

kallan darate hue bola "baat to sahee hai. lekin sabhee karo ki tum insaan ho."

"kaise ?"

"apane dono pair dikhao pata to chale seedhe hai ya ulte."

kiran ne apana pair dikhaaya. pair dekhakar kallan jor se hansa aur kaha "are aap to sach mein insaan hai."

"ab yakeen hua ?"

"haan ab hua. lekin main kya madad karoon ?"

"paas mein koee ghar hai ? pleej aaj raat ke lie mujhe koee rahane dega ?"

"vaise is jangal mein ek chhota sa gaanv hai lekin tumhe koee rahane nahee dega. vaise agar chaaho to mere ghar rah sakatee ho."

kiran baat maan gaee. vo saamaan lekar chal dee kallan ke ghar kee taraph. jangal ke baahar ek nadee hai jisake kinaare kallan kee jhopadee hai . jhopadee mein do kamare the jisame ek mein khatiya par ek buddha aadamee leta tha jo khaas raha tha. usaka naam manee tha. 85 saal kallan ka chaacha jo dikhaane mein dunaala aur kaala. bina baal ke hait mein kam.
