EPISODE - 16

Main bench par baitha hua bas uss darwaze ko dekh raha tha jiske peeche Khushi thi. Har second mujhe bahut lamba lag raha tha. Mere dimag mein bas ek hi baat chal rahi thi — kab vo darwaza khulega… kab vo rakshas meri Khushi ko chhodega… aur kab main usse le kar iss nark se bahar nikal paunga.

Poora security officer station uss waqt ajeeb sa khamosh lag raha tha. Tube light ki safed roshni aur bhi thandi lag rahi thi. Tabhi achanak andar wale room ka darwaza khula. Darwaza khulte hi Bhairav Singh bahar nikla. Vo bahar aate hi angdai lene laga jaise abhi abhi gahari neend se utha ho.

Usne apni pant pehni hui thi lekin uski belt abhi bhi dhang se bandhi nahi thi… bas latak rahi thi. Upar usne sirf baniyan pehni hui thi. Uski security officer uniform wali shirt usne nahi pehni thi. Uski chal bhi seedhi nahi thi. Vo thoda sa jhumte hue bahar aa raha tha. Uski body se sharab ki smell door tak aa rahi thi.

Uss moment par mera khoon khol utha par main kya hi kar sakta tha. Main turant bench se khada ho gaya aur uski taraf badhne laga. Mujhe bas ek hi cheez chahiye thi — Khushi ko wahan se nikalna. Lekin jaise hi main do kadam aage badha, lady officer ne turant meri taraf dekha aur haath ke ishaare se rukne ko kaha.

Uski aankhon mein ek sakht warning thi. Main wahi ruk gaya. Meri mutthi apne aap band ho gayi thi. Main bas wahi khada Bhairav Singh ko dekh raha tha. Bhairav Singh dheere dheere chal kar ek kursi par baith gaya. Vo kursi par baithte hi thoda peeche jhuk gaya aur apni gardan ghumane laga. Jaise kisi kaam ke baad aaram kar raha ho. Fir usne zor se awaaz lagai

Bhairav Singh :- abe oo… koi hai???

Ek hawaldar turant seedha ho gaya.

Hawaldar :- ji sir.

Bhairav Singh :- ek cigar le kar aa.

Hawaldar :- ji sir.

Vo hawaldar turant daud kar andar wale table ki taraf gaya aur kuch seconds baad ek cigar le kar wapas aaya. Usne cigar Bhairav Singh ko di aur lighter se jala bhi di. Bhairav Singh ne cigar ka ek gehra puff liya. Fir dheere se dhuaan bahar chhoda. Poore room mein cigar ka dhuaan phailne laga. Usne do-teen aur puff liye. Fir uski nazar dheere dheere room mein ghoomi…

Aur aakar mujh par ruk gayi. Vo kuch seconds tak mujhe dekhta raha. Uski aankhon mein ek ajeeb si muskaan thi. Jaise vo meri bechaini ka maza le raha ho.

Bhairav Singh :- to tu hai uss raand ka pati…

Meri mutthi aur kas gayi thi par main kuch nahi bola bas lachaari se uski taraf dekhte raha. Bhairav Singh ki aankhon mein ek ajeeb sa confidence tha… jaise use pata ho ki main kuch bhi nahi kar sakta.

Bhairav Singh ne fir cigar ka ek aur puff liya aur lady officer ki taraf dekha.

Bhairav Singh(muskurate hue) :- jaaneman… paise mil gaye kya isse???

Lady officer(muskurate hue) :- ji sir… paise mil gaye.

Bhairav Singh ne halka sa sir hilaya. Fir usne paas khadi lady officer ki taraf dekha.

Bhairav Singh :- Kanchan darling…

Lady officer :- kahiye sir.

Bhairav Singh :- ja… uss raand ko bahar le aa.

Lady officer :- ji sir.

Lady officer turant andar wale room ki taraf badh gayi aur uske pichhe pichhe main bhi jaane laga to pass khade Kamal hawaldar ne mujhe rok liya. Mene kuch na bolne aur karne ka hi faisla kiya mera dil fir se zor zor se dhadakne laga…

Lady officer turant andar wale room ki taraf chali gayi. Mera dil itna tez dhadak raha tha ki mujhe lag raha tha shayad sabko sunai de raha hoga. security officer station ke andar ek ajeeb sa sannata tha. Tube light ki safed roshni aur bhi thandi lag rahi thi. Har second mujhe bahut lamba lag raha tha. Main bas uss darwaze ko dekh raha tha jahan se Khushi ko aana tha.

Kareeb 10minutes ke baad andar wale room ka darwaza dheere se khula aur Khushi bahar gate se bahar aayi. Khushi ki halat dekh kar meri saansein jaise ruk si gayi. Khushi ke baal bikhre hue the… kapde thode se idhar udhar ho rakhe the jaise jaldi jaldi mein pehne ho… aur uska chehra…

Uska chehra bilkul bejaan sa lag raha tha. Jaise uske andar se saari energy nikal chuki ho. Uski aankhen laal thi… aur vo seedha zameen ki taraf dekh rahi thi. Jaise vo kisi ki aankhon mein dekhna hi nahi chahti ho.

Uss moment par mere dil mein ek ajeeb sa dard utha. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha ki mere andar gussa zyada hai… ya guilt. Main bas Khushi ko dekhte reh gaya. Khushi dheere dheere chal kar mere paas aakar ruk gayi. Uski chaal se main samajh gaya ki uss rakshas ne Khushi ko kitni behrehmi se choda hoga.

Khushi ne ek baar meri taraf dekha…Lekin uss nazar mein na sukun tha aur na khushi…Bas ek ajeeb si khamoshi thi. Jaise vo andar hi andar toot chuki ho.

Main(kaanpti awaz mein) :- Khushi…

Meri awaaz halki si kaanp rahi thi. Khushi ne koi jawab nahi diya. Vo bas chup khadi rahi. Uska chehra bilkul expressionless tha… jaise koi bejaan putla.

Maine dheere se pucha

Main :- tum… theek ho na???

Khushi ne bas halki si gardan hilai. Na haan… aur na na. Bas ek neutral reaction. Uss moment par mujhe aur bhi bura feel hone laga. Mujhe bahut guilty feel ho raha tha ki main usse protect nahi kar paaya. Meri wajah se vo sab kuch jhel kar aayi thi.

Tabhi lady officer ki awaaz aayi

Lady officer :- ho gaya milna???

Main turant chup ho gaye aur uss lady officer ki taraf dekhne laga. Lady officer kursi par baithi hume dekh rahi thi. Uski aankhon mein koi emotion nahi tha. Jaise ye sab uske liye bilkul normal ho.
