"Bye.. Nice to meet u!" kahkar Raaka bahar nikla to nisha bhi uske pichhe pichhe aa gayi.. Bina kahe hi aagey wali khidki kholi aur Raaka ke paas ja baithi.. Wah samajh nahi pa rahi thi ki uske ahsaan ka badla kaise chukaaye......
"ab kya hai? Ab kahin aur chhod kar aana hai kya?" Raaka ne rukhe swar mein uttar diya....
Nisha fafak fafK kar ro padi.... Raaka ne kuchh pal usko nihara aur fir gaadi start karke douda di........ Gadi shahar ke bheed-Bhaad wale ilaake se dheere dheere aagey badh rahi thi. Raaka ki chuppi andar hi andar Nisha ko aur sharminda kar rahi thi.. Par khud bole bhi toh kya bole! Apnti moti nasheeli aankhon ko tirachha kar kayi baar kankhiyon se nisha ne Raaka ko dekha.. Uske chehre par rukhapan tha... Nisha ka dil baar baar Raaka ko sorry bolney ko kar raha tha, par himmat uska saath nahi de rahi thi....
Bus-stand jakar Raaka ne parking mein le jakar Gadi rok di,"Kahan jana hai?" Raaka ki aawaj mein bhi rukhapan saaf jhalak raha tha...
Nisha ne apni najrein turant neeche jhuka li.. Dabi huyi si lambi saans li aur apne haath ki ungaliyon ko aapas mein jakad kar houle se boli," Ghar!"
"Thheek hai.. Tumhe yahan se bhiwani ki bus mil jaayegi.. Aagey ka tumhe pata hi hoga!" Kahkar Raaka Gadi se bahar utar aaya.. Majbooran Nisha ko bhi neeche aana pada.. Par wah Gayi nahi... Uski aankhein dabdaba gayi..
"Ab kya hai?" Raaka jaldi mein lag raha tha..
"Kkk.. Kuchh nahi..." Nisha iske aagey kuchh na boli...
"theek hai fir.. Main chalta hoon.. Sambhal kar jana.. " Raaka jakar Gadi mein baith gaya...
"aa....aapka naam kya hai.. Sir?" Iss baar nisha ke lab laraj gaye...
"Aam tour par main aawara ladkiyon ke munh nahi lagta. Bye" kahkar raaka gadi ghumane ke liye aagey ki taraf le gaya.....
Kahte hain honi ko koi taal nahi sakta, aur bhagwan ki ichchha ke bagair patta bhi nahi hil sakta.. Fir Raaka kis khet ki mooli tha. Gadi ghumakar jab raaka wapas aaya tha to Nisha wahi khadi Gadi ko apni aur aatey dekh rahi thi.. Uski aankhon mein apnapan sa jhalak raha tha.. Khud ko aawara ladki ke khitab se nawaji jaane ke baad bhi Bheegi aankhon mein ajeeb sa apnapan jhalak raha tha.. Raaka ne usko avichal wahin khade dekha par wo ruka nahi...
Mushkil se Raaka ek kilometer bhi nahi gaya hoga ki honi ka khel shuru ho gaya.. Tej aandhi chalne lagi. Jaane kahan se kaali ghataayein ghumad ghumad kar ikattha ho gayi.. Shaam ke 3:00 Baje hi suraj chhip gaya aur lagne laga mano raat ho gayi ho.. Ghor andhera chha gaya.."Oh my God! Iss halat mein wo akeli kaise jaayegi.... Kya karoon?", Raaka ne apne antarman se poochha aur aawaj wahi aayi jo honi ko manjoor tha...
Agle cut se Raaka ne U-Turn le liya..... Raaka wapas Bus-stand ja pahuncha... Nisha wahin khadi thi jahan usko Raaka chhod kar gaya thha... Dharti abhi Pyasi hi thhi.. Par Nisha ki aankhon se nirjhar barsaat jaari thi.. Shayad galat raaste par chalne ka paschatap aansoonon ki shakal mein bahar aa raha tha.. Nisha ab bhi sir jhukaaye khadi thi.. Gorey gaalon par ashkon ke moti lagataar bah rahe thhe...
"Suno!"
Chirprichit si aawaj sunkar Nisha chounk kar palti.. Raaka peechhe khada mushkura raha tha,"Tum mujhe Raaka kah sakti ho!"
Ab ki baar raaka ki mushkurahat usko 'apni' si lagi.. Ek pal ko Nisha ke dil mein jaroor aaya hoga ki wah do kadam badha kar Raaka ke seene se chipak jaaye aur bata de ki ab wo 'aawara' nahi rahi.. Uski aankhon mein palbhar ko aayi chamak se aisa ahsaas Raaka ko bhi huaa hoga... Par wo chamak pal bhar mein hi gayab ho gayi aur nisha ne fir apni palkein jhuka li...
Raaka ne pahli baar usko gour se dekha.. Nisha ke Rang-roop, nayan-naks, chehre ki maasumiyat aur lalaat ke tej se kahin aisa nahi lagta tha ki wo koyi aawara ladki hai... Haan, Uss kamsin umra mein behakna alag baat hoti hai.. Nisha ka youvan apratim tha.. Aisi hoor toh jannat mein bhi nahi milti hongi.. Jaroor Raaka ne yahi sab sochkar aisa kaha hoga," Tumne apna naam toh bataya hi nahi!"
5'-6" ki nisha ko Raaka ki najron mein jhaankne ke liye apni gardan kaafi uthhani padi," Nisha!"
Prichay sampann huaa aur pranay ki agni mein aasmaan ki aahuti shuru ho gayi.. Ghataao ne jamkar barasana shuru kar diya.. Raaka ne Nisha ka haath pakda aur Gadi ki aur bhaga... Barish itni tej thi ki kareeb 20 meter ki doori par khadi gadi tak bhaag kar pahunchne par bhi dono paani paani ho gaye... Aur Nisha toh barish se bheega apna badan dekhkar andar tak hi pani pani ho gayi... Hotel se nikalte waqt hadbadahat mein wo sameej daalna bhool gayi thi... Tej baarish ki jhamajham ke beech Gadi sadak par sarpat doudne lagi.. Nisha ko apne chhaatiyon ke beechon beech sir uthhaye khade beparda si haalat mein gulabi daanon ka ahsaas ho gaya tha.. Isiliye usne apne aapko tedha karke Raaka ki taraf peeth ghuma li aur bahar ki aur dekhte huye apne labon ko khola," Hum kahan ja rahe hain"
"Tumhare ghar.. Tumhe kahin aur......?" Raaka ne uttar dete huye jaise hi Nisha ki aur dekha.. Aawaj uske galey mein hi atak gayi... Kameej bheegne ki wajah se Nisha ki kamar lagbhag paardarshi ho gayi thi.. Aisa nayab badan... Kulhon se upar kataav itna shaandar tha ki shayad swarg ki apsara 'menka' ki upma bhi feeki pad jaaye.. Kulhe apekshakrit adhik sudoul thhe.. Kamar mein se boondon ki shakal mein choo raha paani.. Pani nahi amrit lag raha tha.. Mano abhi apne honton se usko chakh kar amar ho liya jaye.. Sachmuch kya badan tha.. Raaka ke badan mein toofan sa aa gaya... Uske liye ab driving par dhyan dena kathhin ho raha tha.... Wo aagey se bhi iss swapanil sundari ka roop dekhne ko betaab ho uthha," aise kyun baithi ho? Seedhi hokar aaram se baitho na!"
Raaka ko kya maaloom tha.. Jo raaka dekhna chah raha tha.. Wahi toh Nisha chhupa rahi thhi," Nahi.. Aise theek hai!" nisha ka badan itne shaandar yuvak ko sath paakar kayi baar machla.. Par har baar uske badal chuke mann ne usko shant kar diya......
"Kya karti ho tum?" Raaka baat badhaye bina na rah saka..
"abhi 12th ke exam diye hain.. Result aane wala hai..." nisha ne kamar se chipke kapde ko apne haath se kheench kar thheek kiya...
"Tum bahut hi sundar ho... Bahut hi pyari" Raaka ne joothhi taareef nahi ki thi.. Wo bemishal thi....
Nisha ke shareer mein jhurjhuri si uthhi.. Uske munh se apni taareef sun'na usko bahut achchha laga...," Thanx Sir......"
"ab kya hai? Ab kahin aur chhod kar aana hai kya?" Raaka ne rukhe swar mein uttar diya....
Nisha fafak fafK kar ro padi.... Raaka ne kuchh pal usko nihara aur fir gaadi start karke douda di........ Gadi shahar ke bheed-Bhaad wale ilaake se dheere dheere aagey badh rahi thi.
