Adultery Bullies Ke Jaal Mein Fassi Maa Aur Behen

[Dev1176]

Chapter 4


Jab Rashmi ghar wapas ja rahi thi, uske mann mein ajeeb si uljhan thi. Kya usne sahi kiya? Aman aur Mannu ke chehre pe jo muskurahat thi, wo sach mein pyaar aur kami ka ehsaas tha, ya phir kuch aur? Uska dil keh raha tha ki usne sirf madad karne ke liye apna number diya, lekin dimaag baar-baar ek warning de raha tha.
Ghar pohonch kar usne apna phone uthaya aur uske screen ko bas dekhti rahi. Ab uske paas un dono ka connection tha, aur unke paas uska. Uske mann mein ek ajeeb si bechaini thi. Kya ye sirf ek maa ki tarah unko samajhne ka ek tareeka tha, ya phir usne koi aisi galti kar di jo uski zindagi badal sakti thi?
Dusri taraf, Aman aur Mannu ek kone mein baithe hue haste rahe. "Ab maza aayega," Mannu ne ek shaitani muskurahat ke saath kaha, apna phone ghumate hue. Aman ne bhi hass kar kaha, "Ek aurat ka hona kitna zaroori hota hai ghar mein, ab ye Rashmi aunty samjhegi."
Dono ke chehre pe ek ajeeb si jeet ki muskurahat thi. Unke dimaag mein ek naya khel shuru ho chuka tha.
Agle din, jaise hi Rohit aur Shruti college ke liye nikal gaye, Rashmi apne routine ka kaam kar rahi thi. Tabhi uske phone pe ek notification aayi. Aman ka message tha:
"Aunty, mujhe theek nahi lag raha. Ghar pe koi nahi hai, thoda khana bana dogi?"
Rashmi ne thodi der tak socha. Kya sach mein Aman bimaar hai, ya phir yeh sirf ek bahaana hai? Kal jo kuch bhi hua tha, uske baad uska mann maanta nahi tha ki sab kuch itna simple ho sakta hai.
Lekin maa ka dil jeet gaya. Agar koi bacha bimaar hai, toh uski madad karna galat toh nahi hai na? Usne ek gehri saans li aur Aman ko reply kiya:
"Theek hai beta, main thodi der mein aati hoon."
Woh jaldi se kitchen gayi, thoda khana tayaar kiya aur ghar se nikal padi. Aman aur Mannu ke ghar jaane ka faisla le chuki thi, lekin ek ajeeb si ghabrahat bhi ho rahi thi. Kuch toh galat lag raha tha, lekin phir bhi uske kadam aage badhte rahe.
Dusri taraf, Aman ne jaise hi Rashmi ka reply dekha, uske chehre par ek shaitani muskurahat aa gayi. "Mannu, Rashmi aunty aa rahi hai," usne haste hue kaha.
Mannu ne bhi ek dusht muskurahat di aur kaha, "Ab maza aayega."
Rashmi ghar ke darwaze par pahunchi aur bell bajayi. Kuch der baad Mannu ne darwaza khola. Uske chehre par ek halki si muskurahat thi.
"Mannu, tum college kyun nahi gaye?" Rashmi ne puchha, uski awaaz mein ek maa jaisa concern tha.
Mannu ne ek pal ke liye socha, phir bola, "Aman ki tabiyat theek nahi thi, toh maine socha uska dhyan rakh loon."
Rashmi ne andar jakar dekha, Aman sofa par pada tha, thoda beemar lag raha tha. Usne pyaar bhari nazar se dekha aur bola, "Koi baat nahi beta, main hoon na. Tum dono ne kuch khaya?"
Dono ne sir hilaya. Rashmi ne bag rakha aur turant kitchen mein chali gayi. Usne chulha jalaya, khichdi banane lagi aur ghar ke chhote-mote kaam sambhalne lagi.
Rashmi ko ghar ke kaam sambhalte hue ek alag hi sukoon mehsoos ho raha tha. Aman aur Mannu ke liye khana banana, unke ghar ko thoda sambhalna—yeh sab uske andar ki mamta ko jagaa raha tha. Aakhir maa toh maa hoti hai, chahe apne bachon ke liye ho ya kisi aur ke.
Jab sab kaam khatam ho gaya, toh Rashmi ne apna dupatta sambhalte hue kaha, "Achha beta, ab main chalti hoon. Tum dono apna dhyan rakhna."
Aman ne thoda hichkichate hue pucha, "Aunty, kya aap roz aa sakti hain? Papa toh hamesha busy hote hain… aur ghar ka dhyan rakhne wala koi nahi hai."
Mannu ne bhi badi masoomiyat se kaha, "Haan Rashmi aunty, jab aap aati ho toh ghar ek ghar lagta hai."
Rashmi ek pal ke liye soch mein pad gayi. Uske mann mein ek ajeeb si khushi thi ki uski madad kisi ke kaam aa rahi hai. Lekin dusri taraf, yeh naya rishta kitna theek hai, yeh sochna bhi zaroori tha.
Usne dheere se muskurate hue kaha, "Dekhti hoon beta… abhi toh main chalti hoon."
Jab woh darwaze se bahar nikli, toh peeche Aman aur Mannu ek dusre ki taraf dekhkar halka sa muskuraye.
Aman bola, “Bhai ye to badi aasani se fass jaygi, gaand dekhi tune iski, maja aagaya aaj to.”
“Bhai mai to poora time yahi dekh raha tha, isko aise hi manana hoga, iske bete ka extra khayal rakhenge, uske liye ye kuch bhi karegi,” Mannu ne jawab diya. 
Rashmi ghar lautte hi apne roz ke kaamon me lag gayi. Kitchen me bartan saaf kiye, ghar ko thoda sambhala aur shaam ke khane ki tayari karne lagi. Lekin mann ke ek kone me Aman aur Mannu ki baatein ghoom rahi thi. Kya sach me unhe uski madad ki zaroorat thi, ya kuch aur…?
Tabhi darwaza khula aur Rohit andar aaya. Rashmi ne dekha ki aaj uska chehra pehle se behtar lag raha tha.
"Aaj ka din kaisa tha beta?" Rashmi ne pyaar bhari awaaz me pucha.
Rohit ne apna bag sofa par rakha aur ek halka sa smile diya, "Theek tha maa.” Rashmi ne uski taraf gaur se dekha. Beeta hua dukh aasani se mit to nahi sakta, lekin lag raha tha ki Rohit dheere-dheere normal ho raha tha.
Usne socha, shayad sab kuch wapas theek hone lage… ya shayad yeh sirf ek shant samundar ka andar chhupa tufaan hai.
Raat ko jab sab so gaye, Rashmi apne kamre me aaram kar rahi thi. Achanak uska phone viberate hua.
Usne screen dekhi—Aman ka message aaya tha. Thodi hairani hui, par usne chat open ki.
Aman: "Thank you aunty, aaj aapne sach me bohot madad ki. Ghar ka khana khakar bohot accha laga. Aap aayi toh laga jaise ghar me koi apna hai."
Rashmi ne ek halki muskurahat ke saath reply kiya, "Koi baat nahi beta, tum dono akelay ho toh thodi madad mil jaye toh accha hai."
Lekin Aman yahin rukne wala nahi tha.
Aman: "Aap bohot acchi ho aunty… waise, aapke baare me jyada nahi pata. Aapko kya pasand hai? Koi shauk?"
Rashmi ne thoda socha. Ek ajeeb si hesitation thi ki ek college ke ladke ke saath itni casual baat kare ya nahi. Lekin phir usne casually reply diya, "Mujhe cooking pasand hai, aur kabhi-kabhi books padhna bhi."
Aman turant reply kar raha tha, "Oh wow! Mujhe bhi naye naye dishes try karna pasand hai. Kya aap mujhe bhi cooking sikha sakti hain?"
Rashmi hans padi, "Tum college jao pehle, padhai pe dhyan do."
Aman ne ek smiley bheja aur likha, "Bas aise hi baat kar raha tha… aapse baat karke acha lagta hai."
Raat ke sannate mein Rashmi apne phone ki screen dekh rahi thi. Aman ka ek aur message aaya tha.
Aman: "Aunty, ek baat puchun?"
Rashmi ne bina jyada soche reply kiya, "Haan beta, bolo."
Aman: "Aapko kabhi akela nahi lagta? Matlab, uncle toh doosre desh me hain… aap sab kuch akelay handle karti hain, mushkil nahi hota?"
Rashmi ne ek pal ke liye phone side me rak diya. Ek ajeeb si chuppi thi uske andar. Yeh sawaal kisi ne usse kabhi nahi poocha tha.
Usne ek gehri saans li aur jawab likha, "Haan beta, kabhi-kabhi mushkil hota hai. Lekin jab Shruti aur Rohit ko dekhti hoon, toh lagta hai ki sab kuch manage ho jayega. Unke liye strong rehna zaroori hai."
Aman ne turant reply kiya, "Aap sach me bohot strong hain. Kabhi baat karne ka mann ho toh mujhe ya Mannu ko bata sakti hain. Aapne humari madad ki, hum bhi aapke dost ban sakte hain na?"
Rashmi ne ek halka sa smile kiya. "Tum dono ache bacche ho. Lekin abhi tumhara dhyan sirf padhai aur apni life banane pe hona chahiye. Yehi sabse zaroori cheez hai."**
Aman ne ek smiley bheja aur likha, "Samajh gaya aunty. Aap bohot achi hain. Good night!"
Rashmi ne bhi "Good night beta" likh kar phone side me rakh diya. Ek ajeeb si soch uske mann me chal rahi thi… Kya yeh bas ek college ladke ki masoomiyat thi ya kuch aur?**
