Misc. Erotica Kanika Ki Khoj Mein

[Celebrorn]

Chapter 3

Bahar living room se logo ki zor se hasne ki aawaz aa rahi thi. Jaane kyun aisa lag raha tha woh mujh par hi has rahe hain. Mere mann mein ghabrahat honi shuru ho gayi - shayad jab main bahar jaaungi toh woh sab milkar mera mazaak udayenge. Kya pata yeh ek socha samjha plan ho mujhe humiliate karne ka. Warna koi aadmi mujhse kyun shaadi karna chahega?

Mujhe kamre ki taraf aate hue kadmo ki aawaz sunai di. Mera dil tezi se dhadakne laga. Darwaza khula toh saamne Mom thi. Unhe dekh kar thodi si rahat mili.

Mom muskurate hue mere paas aayi aur unhone halke se mere kandhe pakadte hue mujhe khada kiya. "Chalo... sab log tumhara intezaar kar rahe hain."

Unhone meri ghabrai hui aankhon mein dekhte hue mujhe tasalli dene ki koshish ki, "Sab theek ho jayega. Bas thoda dheemi aawaz mein bolna aur nazare jhukaye rakhna. Agar nervousness ya darr lage, toh meri taraf dekh lena. Mera poora dhyaan tumhari taraf hi rahega."

Maine sar hilaaya aur woh mujhe pakde hue living room ki taraf le jaane lagi. Mujhe vishwas nahi ho raha tha ki main is tarah tayyar ho kar apne hi ghar mein sabke saamne jaa rahi thi! Woh bhi ek aadmi se milne jisse meri shaadi ho sakti thi. Aaj subah jab main uthi thi tab yeh soch bhi nahi sakti thi ki shaam ko aisa kuch ho raha hoga.

Jaise hi main living room mein pahuchi, ekdam se sab log chhup ho gaye aur halanki meri nazrein jhuki hui thi, aisa lag raha tha jaise sabki aankhein mujhe par aa kar tik gayi hon.

Mom ne chupi ko todte hue kaha, "Yeh lijiye... aa gayi Kanika."

Mujhe ek buzurg aurat ki awaaz sunai di, "Kitni sundar hai... bilkul pari jaisi. Sudha, bilkul tumhari jhalak hai, jaisi tum jawani mein dikhti hongi."

Yeh zaroor Raj Uncle ki mummy hongi. Mom ne halke se meri peeth par haath rakhte hue mujhe aage badhaya aur unke bilkul bagal mein bitha diya. Mere baithte hi unhone halke se mera haath pakda aur pyaar se sahlane lagi. Thank god, pichhle kuch dino se main apne haathon aur nakhuno ka khaas khayal rakh rahi thi. Woh bilkul saaf aur achhe dikh rahe they.

Unhone dheere se mujhe poocha, "Nail polish nahi lagati?"

Maine neeche dekhte hue na mein sar hila diya. Unka haath mere kaano par pahuncha aur halke se unhe chhoone laga.

"Sudha, iske kaan chhide hue nahi hain?"

Mom shayad jaldi mein mere kaano ke baare mein toh bhool hi gayi thi. Woh hichkichate hue boli, "Nahi... ise darr lagta hai kaan chhidwane mein."

Unhe thodi hasi aa gayi, "Isme kya darna... aurato ko toh sab kuch hi chhidwana padta hai."

Sach toh yeh tha ki main hamesha se kaano mein baliyan pehenna chahti thi, par darr bhi bahut lagta tha. Dard ka toh darr tha hi... par saath hi is baat ka bhi ki agar kaan chhid gaye toh sab ko pata chal jayega.

Unhone mera haath pyaar se thapthapaya aur Raj ki taraf dekhte hue kaha, "Bilkul perfect choice hai tumhari. Kitni bholi aur pyaari lag rahi hai."

Main abhi bhi neeche dekh rahi thi toh Raj Uncle ka reaction nahi dekh paayi, par mera dil tezi se dhadak raha tha. Unhone mujhe chuna tha... par kyun?

Isse pehle ki main kuch aur soch paati, Raj uncle ki mummy ne apne sawaal shuru kar diye.

"Beta... aap college mein ho?"

Jaise Mom ne kaha tha, maine neeche dekhte hue haan mein sar hilaya. Woh phir se mera haath pyaar se sahlane lagi.

Unki teekhi aawaz aayi, "Bolti bhi ho ya bas sar hilana aata hai? Kya padh rahi ho?"

Main ghabra gayi. Meri awaaz kaanpte hue nikli, jitna maine socha tha usse thoda tez, "Bachelor's in Commerce... 3rd year..."

Meri awaaz sunte hi unka haath kuch pal ke liye ruk gaya. "Iski awaaz... thodi... bhaari si hai..."

Of course bhaari thi! Chahe main kitni bhi practice karti, meri aawaz abhi tak poori tarah naram nahi ho paayi thi. Mere paseene chhootne lage, shayad unhe sab pata lagne wala tha.

Dad turant bol pade, "Arre woh... pichhle kuch dino se thodi tabiyat kharab hai. Gale mein infection ho gaya hai. Ice cream khaye bina maanti nahi hai na."

"Acha acha... infection hai." Unka haath phir se mere haath par chalne laga. Kuch pal ki khamoshi ke baad woh boli, "Agar aap sab ko bura na lage toh main Kanika se kuch personal sawaal pooch sakti hoon?"

Kisi ne kuch nahi kaha. Unhone ise sabki haan maante hue phir se apne sawaal shuru kar diye, "College mein padti ho... dost toh kafi honge tumhare?"

Is baar maine jitna ho sake utna dheere se kaha, "Bas... ek-do..."

"Bas ek-do...? Un mein se koi ladka dost? Samajh rahi ho na, boyfriend? Aaj kal toh kafi aam si baat hai yeh."

Boyfriend... Iss baare mein mera dil kayi baar socha toh karta tha ki kaash mera bhi koi boyfriend hota. Par phir jald hi reality yaad aa jaati. Koi ladka mujhe kaise accept karega?

Maine phusphusate hue kaha, "Nahi..."

"Kabhi pehle koi boyfriend raha ho? Mummy papa se ghabrana nahi, mujhse khul kar bol sakti ho."

Maine ek baar phir na mein sar hilaaya aur dheere se kaha, "Nahi..."

Maine chupke se nazrein uthaakar unhe dekha. Unke chehre par ek badi si muskaan thi. Unhone Mom se kaha, "Sudha... aaj se yeh meri beti ho gayi hai. Shaadi ki date nikalwa lein?"

Mom ne thoda hichkichate hue kaha, "Par aunty... humne toh abhi..."

Dad ne Mom ko beech mein hi tok diya, "Haan Haan... bilkul aunty ji... aaj se yeh aapki hui."

Par Raj Uncle ki mummy ko shayad Mom ka adhoora sawal pasand nahi aaya. Unhone Dad ko ghoor kar dekha, "Nahi nahi, pehle Sudha apna sawaal pooch le. Kuch poochna chahti thi na woh."

Dad ne Mom ki taraf ek teekhi nazar se dekha. Mom ne dabte hue kaha, "Nahi... main... bas... kuch nahi tha..."

Raj Uncle jo ab tak saamne bilkul chhup baithe they, unhone apna gala saaf karte hue kaha, "Uhmmm... Mummy... Sudha ko sawaal poochne ka poora haq hai. Aakhir aap unki pyaari beti maang rahe ho."

Raj Uncle ki mummy kuch der chup rahi. Unhone mera haath chhodte hue apne muh par rakh liya jaise kafi emotional ho gayi ho, "Mujhe laga tum log Raj ko kaafi achhe se jaante ho aur yeh bas ek formality thi. Par lagta hai, meri hi galti thi."

Mom ne jaldi se kaha, "Nahi nahi aunty ji, aisa kuch nahi hai..."

Par Raj Uncle ki mummy ne haath utha kar unhe rok diya, "Koi nahi... main samajh sakti hoon... aap bhi meri tarah ek maa hain. Aap sab Anita ko toh jaante hi they... Raj ki biwi... 13-14 saal pehle woh hum sab ko chhod kar..."

Unki awaaz bhar aayi aur unhone apni aankhein ponchte hue kaha, "Maine tab isse bahut kaha tha ki dobaara shaadi kar le... par isne meri baat nahi suni. Bola ki Ananya ke liye accha nahi hoga... kahin uski sauteli maa acchi na nikli toh. Poori jawani akele guzaar di isne, bas kaam aur apni beti ko paalte hue."

Unki aankhon se aansu behne lage. Raj Uncle jaldi se uthkar unke paas aa gaye aur unke kandhe par haath rakh diya.

"Mummy... please... itna bhi kuch bura nahi hua..."

Raj Uncle ki mummy ne sar hilaaya, "Rehne do... mujhe baat poori karne do."

Unhone aage kaha, "Par ab Ananya bahar chali gayi hai padhai ke liye. Woh toh wahin settle ho jayegi... aur Raj yahan akela reh jayega."

Unhone Raj Uncle ki taraf ishara kiya, "Dekho isse... abhi toh jawaan hi hai... poori jindagi padi hai iski. Aise akele thodi na kaatega."

Raj Uncle halke se hanse, "Haha, utni bhi nahi jitna aap sochti hain."

Raj ki mummy ne unhe ek gusse bhari nazar se dekha, "Chup raho! Sudha... maine badi mushkil se ise manaya tha... aur iske liye rishte dekhne shuru kare. Rishton ki toh koi kami nahi hai. Aakhir itna handsome hai... fit hai... aur ameer bhi."

"Par..." unhone muh banaaya, "Main iski shaadi... tees saal se upar ki... kisi purani baasi aunty se nahi karna chahti."

Mujhe mann hi mann hasi aayi. 30 saal se upar ki ladies "purani baasi aunties" thi, par unka 40 plus beta abhi jawaan tha!

"Chhoti umar ki ladkiyan ke bhi bahut rishte aaye, kuch toh Kanika se bhi chhoti. Par... aaj kal ki ladkiyan... mujhe toh samajh nahi aati. Na toh hamare sanskaro ko maanti hain aur na bado ko izzat dena aata hai. Aur jyadatar toh shaadi se pehle hi kheli khilayi hoti hain. Bas paiso ke liye Raj se shaadi karni hai unhe."

Vishal ke muh se ek halki si hasi nikal gayi. Dad ne use chup rehne ka ishara dete hue ghoor kar dekha.

Raj ki mummy ne bhi Vishal ki taraf ek nazar daali, phir aage boli, "Phir pichle mahine Raj ne tum logo ka zikr kiya. Bataya ki Vijay ne kaise aaj ke zamane mein bhi apne ghar ko itne acche se sambhala hua hai. Bada beta MBA padh raha hai aur chhoti beti college mein hai. Mujhe toh tab pata chala ki tumhari koi beti bhi hai."

Mera dil phir se tez dhadakne laga. Raj Uncle ne apni mummy ko bataya ki main ek ladki hoon? Par unhe toh acche se pata tha ki main ek... ladka hoon.

Raj ki mummy ne Dad ko dekhte hue kaha, "Mujhe ise bahut bolna pada ki yeh tumse baat toh chhede. Tum log ek doosre ko college ke time se jaante ho, bahut bharosa karta hai tum par. Wahi bharosa humein yahan le aaya."

Kamre mein kuch pal ke liye khamoshi chha gayi. Mom aur Dad ek doosre ki aur dekh rahe they, Mom shayad kuch kehna chahti thi par keh nahi paa rahi thi.

Raj Uncle ne chhupi ko todte hue kaha, "Mummy... hume Sudha aur Vijay ko sochne ke liye thoda time dena chahiye."

Unhone tunakte hue kaha, "Isme sochne ko hai hi kya? Haan, umar mein thoda farak hai, par uske alawa koi wajah hi nahi hai na bolne ki. Aur woh bhi koi itni badi baat nahi hai. Ladkiyan jaldi mature ho jaati hai aur aadmiyon ko thoda time lagta hai."

Dad jaldi se bol pade, "Bilkul aunty ji, sochne ki zaroorat hi nahi hai. Humari taraf se poori tarah haan hai."

Mom ne beech mein carefully kaha, "Ek baat kahun... kya Kanika aur Raj pehle aapas mein baat kar sakte hain? Thodi der ke liye... akele?"

Raj ki mummy ne khushi se kaha, "Arre haan haan... bilkul. Itni shaarmili lag rahi hai, yahan sab ke saamne kuch pooch bhi nahi payegi. Kanika beta, jayo... aaram se jo mann mein ho woh pooch lena."

Maine ghabrate hue Mom ki taraf dekha. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha ki woh kyun chahti thi main Raj Uncle se akele mein baat karu.

Raj Uncle ki mummy ne halke se meri peeth thapthapayi, "Jao beta, jao. Koi darr ki baat nahi hai. Sach mein... kitni masoom si hai."

Mom ne mujhe ishara kiya uthne ka. Main dheere se khadi hui. Raj Uncle bhi khade ho gaye. Main apni saans rok kar Mom ke peeche chalne lagi. Mujhe mehsoos ho raha tha ki Raj Uncle mere bilkul peeche aa rahe hain.

Mom humein apne kamre mein le gayi. Thank god unhone apna kamra chuna aur mera nahi. Mera toh abhi bhi buri tarah faila hua tha.

Hum andar gaye aur Mom darwaze par khadi rahi. Unhone kaha, "Main darwaza dhaal deti hoon taaki tum log aaram se baat kar sako. Raj... please ise comfortable feel karwana taaki woh apne dil ki baat bol paaye."

Raj Uncle ne kaha, "Don't worry Sudha... main sab sambhal lunga."

Jaise hi Mom darwaza band karne lagi, maine ghabrahat se upar dekha. Raj Uncle ke saath akele... meri bechaini badti jaa rahi thi.



Maine unki taraf aise dekha, jaise pehli baar dekh rahi hoon. Par sach yehi tha ki maine kabhi itne dhyaan se unhe dekha bhi nahi tha. Woh toh hamesha se bas Dad ke dost they, usse jyada kuch nahi.

Woh bahut lambe they, mujhse toh kaafi jyada. Main 5'5" thi... woh toh bahut tall lag rahe they, shayad 6 feet se bhi jyada. Maine jaldi se notice kiya - Dad ki tarah unka pet bahar nahi nikla hua tha, fit body. Well-fitted pants, shining shoes. Upar nazar gayi toh poore kaale baal, facial hair bhi neat. Haan older lag rahe they, par definitely boodhe toh nahi. Ek second ke liye mera dhyaan unke haathon par gaya - bade haath, lambe, strong fingers...

Maine khud ko daanta - main yeh sab notice bhi kyun kar rahi hoon? Yeh sab ek ganda sa majaak lag raha tha.

Raj Uncle ne smile karte hue kaha, "Baitho Kanika... apna hi ghar samjho."

Ughhhh, dad joke. Mere pair khud-ba-khud peeche ki taraf badhe. Jaise hi bed frame touch hua, main hichkichate hue baith gayi. Raj Uncle ne ek kursi pakdi aur mere bilkul saamne aa kar baith gaye.

Kuch pal tak woh bas mujhe dekhte rahe. Main apni nazar neeche rakhe baithi rahi. Lag raha tha jaise woh bhi mujhe observe kar rahe they.

Kuch pal ki khamoshi ke baad unhone muskurate hue poocha, "First time saree pehni hai na?"

Unke is achanak se sawaal se mera dil dhak karke reh gaya. Main nervous hote hue apne saree ke pallu ko adjust karne lagi.

"Haan..." meri awaaz bahut halki si nikli.

Raj Uncle ne halke se kaha, "Bahut acchi lag rahi ho. Don't be nervous."

Ajeeb sa lag raha tha unke muh se yeh sunna, maine phusphusate hue "thank you" kaha.

Raj Uncle ne conversation ko aage badhane ki koshish ki, "Toh... college kaisa chal raha hai? Classes abhi bhi utni hi boring hain jitni first year mein thi?"

Mujhe yaad aaya ki jab woh ghar aate they toh main unse college ki baatein share karti thi. Baaki logo se alag, woh meri baat hamesha dhyaan se suna karte they. Maine hichkichate hue kaha, "Uhhh... theek hai... you know..."

Raj Uncle ne kaha, "Hmmm... lagta hai abhi bhi kuch jyada badla nahi. Riya abhi bhi tumhari close friend hai?" 

Maine unki taraf dekha, unhe meri dost ka naam bhi yaad tha. Maine halke se haan mein sar hila diya.

Phir unhone thoda serious hokar kaha, "Good... Ummm... pehle toh main tumse maafi maangna chahta hoon... apni mummy ke sawaalon ke liye."

Pata nahi kyun, par unke saamne main thoda freely bol pa rahi thi. "Nahi... it's ok..."

"That's kind of you," unhone kaha. Thoda ruk kar, "Tumhe samajh aa raha tha na ki bahar kya discussion chal raha tha? Main tumhari haan ke bina aage nahi badna chahta."

Yeh toh mere liye bilkul unexpected tha. Jahan mere Mom Dad ko meri consent se koi farak nahi padta tha, wahan yeh aadmi jisne unse mere rishte ki baat ki thi, woh is sab ke liye ab meri haan maang raha tha?

Maine apni awaaz dhoondhte hue kaha, "Main... main samajhti hoon ki kya... par... mujhe nahi lagta ki main..."

"Main poori tarah samajh sakta hoon," Raj Uncle ne kaha, "yeh sab tumhare liye kitna strange aur scary hoga. Bilkul normal hai aise feel karna."

Unhone thoda aage jhuk kar kaha, "Sach kahun toh... maine bhi dobaara shaadi ke baare mein socha nahi tha. Bahut saalon tak. Par... agar ab shaadi karunga toh woh koi kafi special ladki hi hogi."

Main unki taraf dekhti rahi, unsure ki woh kya kehna chahte they. Phir hichkichate hue maine poocha, "Par... aap... mujhe... kyun? Main toh... aap toh jaante hain na..."

Raj Uncle meri taraf dekhte rahe, "Haan... main jaanta hoon. Sab kuch." Unhone thoda pause liya, "Aur phir bhi... tumhare saath mujhe ek aisa connection mehsoos hua jo kabhi saalon mein nahi hua."

Oh god. Connection? Mere saath? Woh sab jaante hue bhi aise bol rahe they... jaise unhe koi farak hi nahi padta tha.

Mere muh se mere mann ki baat nikal gayi, "Uncle... sab jaante hue bhi... aap kyun... mere saath...?"

Woh halke se muskuraye, "Tum mujhe Raj bulao. Uncle nahi."

Maine asahaj hote hue apna sar haan mein hilaya, par abhi bhi unhe Raj bulana kafi mushkil kaam lag raha tha.

Unhone meri aankhon mein dekhte hue kaha, "Aur tumhare sawaal ka jawaab... experience ke saath samajh mein aata hai ki life mein kya zaroori hai. Baaki sab... bematlab hai... aur mujhe us sab ke baare mein koi farq nahi padta."

Mere paas is baat ka koi jawaab nahi tha aur kamre mein ek chhupi si chhaa gayi.

Kuch pal ki khamoshi ke baad Raj Uncle ne dheere se poocha, "Agar tumhe uncomfortable na lage toh... main kuch personal pooch sakta hoon?"

Maine dheere se kaha, "Haan..."

"Tumhe... kisi specific gender ki taraf attraction mehsoos hota hai? Boys ya girls... I can totally understand agar yeh sab confusing ho tumhare liye."

Riya ne bhi mujhse yeh sawaal poocha tha ek baar, aur us waqt maine taal diya tha. Par dil mein main is sawaal ka jawab achhe se jaanti thi. Jab main kisi attractive, handsome, strong ladke ko dekhti thi toh... mere dil ki dhadkan tez hone lagti aur saansein ruk jaati.

"Haan... thoda complicated hai... par... main ek normal ladki ki tarah hi mehsoos karti hoon... un sab cheezon ke baare mein bhi."

Unhone muskurate hue mere shabdon ko poora kiya, "Perfect! Toh phir toh koi confusion hi nahi hai. Tum ek ladki ho, aur tumhe ladke pasand aate hain. Sahi keh raha hoon na main?"

Kya maine sahi suna? Unhone "tum ek ladki ho" kaha, na ki "ladki jaisi". Unke muh se sunkar mann mein kuch alag sa mehsoos hone laga, jaise yeh poori conversation meri soch se bilkul alag jaa rahi ho.

"Haan..." maine hichkichate hue kaha, "par sach kahun toh... abhi bhi bahut kuch baaki hai. Main abhi puri tarah se..."

Raj ne dheere se kaha, "Jo bhi baaki hai, main tumhe us sab mein support karunga. Isliye nahi ki mujhe lagta hai tum mein koi kami hai, par isliye kyunki main chahta hoon tum confident mehsoos karo. Mere liye tum jaisi abhi ho behad khoobsurat ho."

Mere gaal sharm se laal ho gaye aur main neeche dekhne lagi. Yeh mujhe kya mehsoos ho raha tha jo mujhe bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha? Woh kyun mere saath aisa baat kar rahe they, itne achhe se, itne understanding? Par abhi bhi mere mann mein kitne saare sawaal they.

Raj ne mere chehra padte hue kaha, "Tumhe abhi decide karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Main chahta hoon pehle tum poori tarah se comfortable mehsoos karo. Chahe tum is rishte ke liye haan kaho ya na, main tumhare is transition mein tumhara support karna chahta hoon. Uske baad bina kisi pressure ke apna decision le lena."

Maine mann hi mann socha woh bhala aisa kyun karna chahenge. Bina kisi condition ke meri madad kyun karenge. Par main unka muskurata hua chehra dekh kar yeh pooch nahi paayi.

Mere muh se nikla toh yeh sawaal, "Par bahar sab log... woh chahenge main aaj hi haan kar du... Dad... Aapki mummy... mujhe thoda time chahiye sochne ke liye."

"Ofcourse... Don't worry... woh sab mujh par chhod do... main sabko samjha dunga."

Main chup ho gayi. Kya kahti main?

"Chalo... ab bahar chalte hain. Sab log wait kar rahe honge. Kanika... aaj tumse baat karke... mujhe bahut achha laga."

Mere muh se dheere se apne aap nikla, "Mujhe bhi..."

Raj khade ho gaye aur mere liye wait karne lage. Hum dono chupchap living room ki taraf chalne lage, main un se bas zara sa peeche. Mera dimaag buri tarah uljha hua sa mehsoos kar raha tha. Unse baat karte karte aisa mehsoos hone laga tha jaise main ek ladki hi hoon jo apni shaadi ke liye nervous hai.

Bahar aate hi main Mom ke paas jakar khadi ho gayi. Unhone dheere se mere kaan mein fusfusaya, "Kafi der lag gayi... sab theek hai na?"

Isse pehle main jawab de paati, Raj ki mummy ki aawaz aayi, "Toh phir aaj hi roka kar lein? Dono ki shakal dekh kar toh lag raha hai yeh ek doosre ko pasand hain."

Raj abhi bhi khade hue they, "Mummy... jaldi kya hai... Kanika ko kuch din sochne ka time dena chahiye."

Dad aur Raj ki mummy dono ke chehra par ek dam se naraazgi aa gayi aur lag raha tha woh kuch bolne waale hain, par Mom ne turant mera haath pakadte hue mujhe wahan se kheencha, "Kanika beta, chalo mere saath. Mujhe dinner serve karne mein thodi help chahiye."

Mom ne mujhe kitchen mein le jaa kar thoda busy kar diya, taaki main un logon ki uncomfortable nazro aur baaton se door ho jayu. Bahar abhi bhi mere future ka discussion chal raha tha aur main... mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha ki main kya chahti thi.
